THE STRATFOR WEEKLY 07 January 2004
Bin Laden Tape: Honesty and Gloom
The release of a new tape by Osama bin Laden is always an important event. The most recent one is particularly important because of the tone it takes. It is far from resigned, but it is a gloomy analysis of al Qaeda's situation, focusing on the failure of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states to resist the United States. Al Qaeda has a great deal to be gloomy about. Events were very much moving in its favor since the U.S. invasion of Iraq. But December was a terrible month for al Qaeda: The United States began to gain control over the insurrection, and the diplomatic situation in the region began to shift in the U.S. favor. Al Qaeda has a problem and is searching for a solution.
Osama bin Laden released a new audio tape during the week of Jan. 5. It was different in tone and focus than prior tapes. The focus was less on the United States, Israel or Kashmir than on the Arab world in general and the Arabian Peninsula in particular. The tone was bleak and filled with anger at betrayal by Arab rulers. It represents an honest assessment of the war from al Qaeda's view, and it reveals the war is not going well for them.
Among the things bin Laden said:
O Muslims: The situation is serious and the misfortune is momentous. By God, I am keen on safeguarding your religion and your worldly life. So, lend me your ears and open up your hearts to me so that we may examine these pitch-black misfortunes and so that we may consider how we can find a way out of these adversities and calamities....
These (Gulf) states came to America's help and backed it in its attack against an Arab state which is bound to them with covenants of joint defense agreement ... they finally submitted and succumbed to U.S. pressure and opened their air, land and sea bases to contribute toward the U.S. campaign, despite the immense repercussions of this move. Most important of these repercussions is that this is a sin against one of the Islamic tenets...
Based on the above, the extent of the real danger -- which the region in general and the Arabian Peninsula in particular is being exposed to -- has appeared. It has become clear that the rulers are not qualified to apply the religion and defend the Muslims. In fact, they have provided evidence that they are implementing the schemes of the enemies of the nation and religion and that they are qualified to abandon the countries and peoples.
This is the essential tone of the entire statement: A serious misfortune has befallen the Islamic world. The responsibility rests with Arab rulers in general and on Saudi Arabia in particular. It was their collaboration with the United States that created these "pitch-black misfortunes" and forced al Qaeda to search for a way out of the "adversities and calamities." It is far from a declaration of surrender, but it is also far from the defiant triumphalism of earlier statements.
To understand bin Laden's mood, it is important to look at the war from a strategic standpoint. The United States mounted an effective invasion of Iraq, using Kuwait as a base of operations, and with the overt or covert cooperation of all other contiguous Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia. The United States was surprised by the coherence and tempo of operations of the Iraqi guerrillas, but the insurrection never moved outside the country's Sunni areas in any substantial way and therefore was confined to a relatively small part of Iraq. Even in this region, after several months of indecisive and ineffective action, the United States mounted a counteroffensive after Ramadan that resulted in a substantial decline in guerrilla operations north of Baghdad, and a much less intense tempo of operations in Baghdad and to the west.
Iraq's internal politics also have moved in an unsatisfactory direction. The majority Shia, in a vague alliance with the Kurds, have not so much supported the United States as opposed the Sunnis. They also have no use for the foreign jihadists moving into Iraq. They are prepared to cooperate with the Americans, exchanging support now for control of the government later. The Sunni sheikhs, observing the deterioration of the guerrillas' military situation, are repositioning themselves, making deals with the Americans. The prospect of Shiite domination without any U.S. goodwill cushioning that process is more frightening to the Sunnis than the guerrilla movement. Therefore, the Baathist guerrilla movement is under severe pressure, while the foreign jihadists operating without the Baathists have no roots in Iraq, nor does the Sunni leadership welcome them. Therefore, al Qaeda's hope of bogging down the United States in Iraq as they bogged down the Soviets in Afghanistan is disappearing.
The broader strategic situation is even more unsatisfactory. Al Qaeda was hoping that Sept. 11 would trigger a massive rising among the Islamic masses, toppling regimes that were collaborating with the United States and forcing others to change their policies. That simply hasn't happened. Some expected the invasion of Iraq to generate a massive upheaval in the Islamic world. It didn't. Whatever the feelings of the Islamic masses, they have not translated into a massive political moment.
Quite the contrary: The movement in the Islamic world has been toward collaboration with the United States. The most important case is Iran, which has been moving toward such an alignment since September 2003, in a process that broke into public view after the earthquake in Bam. The Iraqi Shiite leadership has generally close ties to Iran, forged during years of exile and struggle against Saddam Hussein. Their accommodation with the United States and participation in the Iraqi Governing Council would not have taken place without Iran's approval. Iran's interests are geopolitical. The United States, seeking a solution to the Iraqi guerrilla war, induced Iranian-Shiite cooperation by promising a Shiite-dominated government in Iraq that certainly would be, if not a satellite, a buffer on Iran's western flank.
The Iranian shift increased Saudi Arabia's dependence upon the United States. Saudi Arabia's nightmare is Iran as the dominant regional power without a Saudi security guarantee from the United States. That is precisely the direction events were going this past fall. Saudi Arabia grudgingly accommodated the United States before the war. Afterward, as the guerrilla movement intensified in Iraq, the United States turned to Iran, further eroding Saudi security. As this process took place, the Saudis had to move against al Qaeda in the kingdom. This was a fundamental U.S. goal in its invasion of Iraq. It did not happen quite the way the United States might have wanted it, but it did happen. The Saudis and the other Gulf states have moved aggressively to accommodate U.S. interests -- including attacking al Qaeda throughout the region.
The avalanche of bad news did not stop there. Libya, fully aware of the trends in the region, decided this was a propitious time to move closer to the United States. In the Arab world, only Syria remained outside the process. The Syrians had badly misread the situation during last summer, betting that the United States would get bogged down in Iraq. They bet on the guerrillas. Suddenly, as December wore on, they realized that they had not only guessed wrong, but had become completely isolated in the Arab world and surrounded on all sides by enemies. Damascus began to make accommodating gestures as the New Year began, inviting Likud Knesset members to Damascus and sending President Bashar al-Assad off to Turkey.
In Pakistan, jihadists tried -- and failed -- twice to kill President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. The danger to Musharraf's life did not prevent him from reaching out to India in a peace process, nor did the attempts trigger a military or popular rising against him. Al Qaeda knows that the culminating battle of the war will be waged in northwestern Pakistan when U.S. forces go after Osama bin Laden and his command cells. They must topple Musharraf to generate a major obstacle to U.S. plans. Therefore, the jihadists must get Musharraf. So far, they have failed.
At the moment, nothing is going al Qaeda's way. That does not mean al Qaeda is defeated. The war isn't over 'til it's over, and as the United States is showing in Iraq, reversals in war are common; the measure of victory is how quickly and effectively one adjusts to the reality and creates a new strategy. Al Qaeda has clearly lost the first round; it is readying for the second.
This second round appears to consist of two parts. One has been clearly defined: Al Qaeda will try to bring down the Saudi government. Riyadh's assault on al Qaeda certainly has hurt the group, but it has not destroyed it. The Wahhabi zeal -- which has fueled al Qaeda -- has its home in Saudi Arabia and is deeply rooted there. Opposition to the Saudi regime is not trivial. Whether al Qaeda can overthrow the regime is unclear, but bin Laden's statements make it clear that this is where his focus will be.
There is then the question of an attack on the United States. Bin Laden concedes that Sept. 11 failed to achieve al Qaeda's strategic goals. In fact, events since then have moved in just the opposite direction. The problem was the lack of political preparation in the Islamic world. The weakness among Arab regimes generally and Saudi Arabia particularly meant that the U.S. response -- rather than triggering massive anti-American resistance -- resulted in broad-based collaboration.
Another attack on the United States on the same order as Sept. 11 is not likely to succeed either, since collaboration has intensified. Given that al Qaeda does not intend simply to kill Americans, but rather to achieve political goals in the Islamic world by killing Americans, an attack at this moment squanders resources without achieving the wanted goal. At the same time, al Qaeda must demonstrate that it has a way out of the "pitch-black misfortunes" that have befallen it. It must do something, and do it quickly. Overthrowing the Saudi regime is not going to happen soon.
From a strictly strategic viewpoint, al Qaeda should postpone attacking the United States until it can reshape the politics of the Saudi peninsula. From a political viewpoint, the more impotent al Qaeda appears, the less its chances to achieve that political redefinition. It is caught in a chicken-or-egg problem -- and time, most definitely, is not on al Qaeda's side.
One solution would be what we would call a trans-Sept. 11 attack -- an attack that dwarfed Sept. 11 in significance. Obviously a nuclear, biological or chemical attack designed to cause enormous casualties would be such an attack and potentially -- and we emphasize potentially -- would accomplish two things. It might reinvigorate al Qaeda in the Islamic world by reinforcing its capabilities and competence -- neither is highly respected at the moment -- thus contributing to the political reality bin Laden spoke of. Second, it might -- in al Qaeda's mind -- convince the American public that the price of fighting al Qaeda is too high. There is a risk, of course. The Islamic masses might well take the same course that followed Sept. 11: vigorous conversation coupled with inaction, and the American public might want blood instead of withdrawal.
A serious question is whether al Qaeda can pull off a trans-Sept. 11 attack. It might be forced to go for a Sept. 11-type attack because that is the best available. Or, alternatively, it might decide to avoid any attacks in the United States, opting instead to focus resources on the struggle in Saudi Arabia and on bringing down Musharraf in Pakistan.
These are some of al Qaeda's choices. Which it will choose is an open question. What is clear is that al Qaeda is at a crossroads and -- like the United States in the spring of 2002 -- it does not have really good choices, and therefore, must choose the best of a bad lot. Al Qaeda's original war plan is obsolete. The straight line it drew from Sept. 11 to the Caliphate has hit a wall. Bin Laden knows it. He doesn't have a good Plan B, but he will have to cook one up anyway. The war is not over, but for the moment, it is al Qaeda's turn to sweat out a solution to a difficult strategic problem. If they can't do that, then the war could very well be over, at least for this generation.

They were a bit confused.
Saudi/AQ's wished-for enemy is also their best customer.
And the customer is always right...
Last month the level of attacks against the Royal Family in Saudi Arabia escalated sharply and suddenly. I seriously thought civil war had some there finally after all those years of the House of Saud walking a fine line between the fundamentalists and the majority of Saudis.
That seemed to die down very quickly...the Saudis can act quickly and brutality when pressed. I'm wondering just how much damage Al Qaeda suffered in Saudi Arabia.

Second, it might -- in al Qaeda's mind -- convince the American public that the price of fighting al Qaeda is too high.
These people are stupid -- they need to realize that another attack will only make our resolve stronger, and our vengeance more bloody. If they really want the US public to quit fighting them, they need to quit attacking and threatening us. Then, after a while, the US public will lose interest....

And blood they would get. If al Queda manages to pull off a "Trans 911" attack on the United States the gloves would come off. Both Syria and Iran would be well advised to prepare for war and the manhunt for bin Laden would be intense and would honor no national boundries.

"If they really want the US public to quit fighting them, they need to quit attacking and threatening us. Then, after a while, the US public will lose interest..."
Precisely. War is our strong suit. On the other hand, if Bin Laden comes forward publicly, apologizes, denounces violence, and begs for forgiveness, dissent against our War on Terror would be legion.
At that point Osama could retreat back into the private confines of maddrassas, teaching rampant hate and violence, while all the time preaching love and forgiveness in public. In 20 years we'd be caught off-guard again.
Thus, it is the *peaceful* Osama who threatens us the most. The violent, war-mongering Bin Laden who we all know is a weak paper tiger. We can crush his forces everywhere they mass and every time they are spotted, without exception. In contrast, if Osama manages to move this war *away* from open contests of arms into a public relations debate, we've got trouble.

Might want blood? There's no might about it. The gloves would come completely off.
No, I think Al Qaeda will strike where it thinks there will be no retaliation. I think they will strike france.

I'd give your guess the top odds if I were running a Vegas casino.
I can absolutely guarantee the latter. And that would inevitably result in this:
Al Qaeda knows that the culminating battle of the war will be waged in northwestern Pakistan when U.S. forces go after Osama bin Laden and his command cells.
...as I think it will. Al-Qaeda overplayed its hand in the Saudi and the Pakistan bombings, the former to tell their erstwhile paymasters that the deal had changed and the gloves were off, the latter to forestall American intervention in northwestern Pakistan. Neither succeeded, and in fact served to hasten that intervention rather than forestall it. If Special Forces operations haven't already commenced there they will very soon.
On a peripheral but no less important note, I do think that the Iranians are playing for control of the nascent Iraq government. They should be careful what they wish for. The Shi'ites in Iraq are co-religionists, to be sure, but they are also not necessarily pro-Persian, and there are significant Iranian anti-government guerrilla forces in Iraq at the moment as well. The Iranian mullahs are playing for control of little brother to the west; I wonder if they've considered that little brother has his own game and might just be playing for control...of them.

After a rocky 2016, it seems we are all committed to making 2017 a year of hope, togetherness and possibility. If 2016 was the apocalypse, then 2017 is the year we dust ourselves off, walk through the rubble and saunter off into the sunset.
For SS17 it was surely no surprise then, that designers looked to the 80s for inspiration. The era of excess and boundless possibility, seemed the perfect antidote to sombre '16. Our favourite eighties beauty homage? Topshop Unique's side parted curly hair, terracota eyes and outlandish Zebra.
If 80s beauty isn't your thing, there was plenty to be thankful for at Yves Saint Laurent, thanks to Anthony Vaccarello. I'm pretty sure no-one else could make lamé look so chic. That paired with the YSL logo heels, rolled-up denim low riders and tropical-hued tassel earrings, it was near perfection; and all offset with fresh faces and undone hair.
Maria Grazia Chiuri also managed to make waves as the new Creative Director at Dior. The former Valentino designer, gave the Parisian house a much needed feminine touch, with speckled tulle, ribbon tie kitten heels and Dior branded straps on corset topped gowns; with a Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie t-shirt: reminding us to 'all be feminists', thrown in for good measure.
So here's to 2017: the year of endless possibility and great clothes.

The service is part of the European Union's adopted rules and procedures to regulate the export of dual use products, in order to ensure international security and non-proliferation of weapons.
This third-party assessment does not in any way substitute for any export authorisation, which in Italy falls under the exclusive competence of the Ministry of Economic Development.
Upon completion of the assessment, the report forms an integral part of the technical documentation to be provided when requesting the Ministry for any such authorisation, as well as an important document that companies can refer to when exporting.
The regulatory reference for the control of exports of these products is Regulation (EC) No. 428/2009 and subsequent amendments, whose Annex I lists all the export goods which, by their nature, may have a "dual use" in both civil and military sectors.
North Korea - Reg. (EC) 329/2007.
The Regulation stipulates that the export of such goods shall be subject to authorisation by the Competent Authorities of the Member States.
Italian Legislative Decree No. 96/2003, which determines the application of the Regulations in our country, has designated the Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) as the Competent Authority and specifies that the request for export authorisation by an interested party must be accompanied by appropriate technical documentation relating to the product to be exported.

In 2016, RINA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Economic Development and the Polytechnic School of Engineering of the University of Genoa, in order to support businesses that produce and export potentially Dual Use goods.
Thanks to our team's extensive experience in product certification in a variety of sectors, and the support of the Polytechnic School of Genoa, we have the right skill-set to prepare technical-scientific reports and preliminary opinions that help define your product's standing under the Dual Use rules of the EU.

* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since September 01, 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. From September 01, 2018 the WLTP will replace the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from September 01, 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.
Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, irrespective of the testing method used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars, which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP, are concerned, the NEDC values will therefore be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer.

US meat industry welcomes lower biofuels mandate
By Carina Perkins contact
19-Nov-2013 - Last updated on 19-Nov-2013 at 09:55 GMT
RFS mandate has impacted on corn supplies
Related tags: United states environmental protection agency, Beef, Livestock, Pork, Poultry
US meat and livestock groups have welcomed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) decision to lower the biofuels mandate for the first time since it was introduced under the Bush administration.
In its proposed 2014 renewable fuels standard (RFS), the EPA proposed a conventional fuels mandate for corn-based ethanol of 13 billion gallons in 2014, back from the 14.4bn gallons originally proposed and lower than the 13.8bn gallons produced this year. It also proposed a reduction in the total renewable fuels requirement, inviting comments on a range of 15-15.52bn gallons.
Congress sets the US renewable fuels volume mandates, but the EPA can lower the requirements in certain situations. The Agency said it was able to lower the overall ethanol-blending requirement from the prior year's target using two waiver authorities in the Clean Air Act. The EPA said it was seeking comment on petitions for a waiver of the RFS that would apply in 2014.
The proposal has been welcomed by US farmers and processors, which have been calling for a waiver of the RFS due to the impact of the mandate on feed prices and availability.
A coalition of livestock and poultry groups released a joint statement on the proposal stating: "We appreciate this action as it acknowledges a problem exists with the current policy. The inflexible RFS mandate continues to have a detrimental impact on the economy and makes feeding animals risky because our industries are not competing on a level playing field.
"Today is a step in the right direction, but it is the responsibility of the Congress to find a lasting solution to this rigid, inflexible program and put livestock and poultry producers back on equal standing in the marketplace."
The National Chicken Council (NCC) also called for congressional action, pointing out that since the RFS was escalated in 2007, average annual feed costs had increased by $8.8bn for poultry producers.
"Last year, the average US family of four faced a $2,000 increase in food costs due to higher corn prices, brought on largely by the RFS. We know all too well from last year that corn crop projections and inventories can be erased by Mother Nature's wrath," said NCC president Mike Brown.
The EPA said it was seeking comment on petitions for a waiver of the RFS that would apply in 2014.

In 1843, on Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly old moneylender at a London counting house, does not share the merriment of Christmas. He declines his cheerful nephew Fred Holywell's invitation to a Christmas dinner party, and rejects two gentlemen's offer to collect money for charity. His loyal employee Bob Cratchit asks Scrooge to allow him to have a day off on Christmas Day to spend time with his family, to which Scrooge reluctantly agrees before leaving. In his house, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his deceased business partner Jacob Marley, who warns him to repent his wicked ways or he will be condemned in the afterlife like he was, carrying heavy chains forged from his own greediness. Jacob informs Scrooge that three spirits will visit to guide him out of his misery. Scrooge is visited by the candle-like Ghost of Christmas Past, who takes him back in time to his early life. They visit Scrooge's boarding school and Scrooge sees his sister Fanie, who died after giving birth to Fred. Scrooge later begins a successful career in business and money lending as an employee under Fezziwig, and he becomes engaged to a woman named Belle. However, the Ghost shows Scrooge how Belle left him when he became obsessed with wealth. A devastated Scrooge extinguishes the spirit with its candle snuffer cap but Scrooge is rocketed thousands of feet into the air while clinging onto the snuffer, only to have it disappear, resulting in Scrooge falling down to earth, back into his bedroom for the next visitation. Scrooge meets the merry Ghost of Christmas Present, which shows him the joys and wonder of Christmas Day. Scrooge and the Ghost visit Bob's house, learning his family is content with their small dinner, Scrooge taking pity on Bob's ill son Tiny Tim. The Ghost abruptly ages, commenting that Tiny Tim will likely not survive until next Christmas. The Ghost warns Scrooge about the evils of "Ignorance" and "Want"; Big Ben begins tolling midnight as "Ignorance" and "Want" manifest themselves before Scrooge as two wretched children who grow into violent, insane individuals, leaving the spirit withering away, dying at length when midnight strikes (to the point of dissolving into a skeleton before the twelfth strike). The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come arrives, appearing as a dark shadow, and takes Scrooge into the future. He witnesses a group of businessmen discussing the death of an unnamed man where they would only attend the funeral if lunch is provided; Scrooge is then chased across London by the Ghost and later discovers that his possessions are stolen and sold by his maid Mrs. Dilber. Shortly afterwards, Scrooge sees a covered corpse on a bed, followed by a family that is relieved he is dead, as they have more time to pay off their debt. The spirit transports Scrooge to Bob's residence, discovering that Tiny Tim has died. Scrooge is then taken to a cemetery, where the Ghost points out his own grave, confirming Scrooge was the man who died. Scrooge promises to change his ways just as the Ghost forces him to fall into his empty coffin lying in a deep grave that sits above the fires of Hell. Waking up in his own room on Christmas Day, with love and happiness in his heart, a gleeful Scrooge decides to surprise Bob's family with a turkey dinner, and ventures out with the charity workers and the citizens of London to spread happiness in the city, and later attends his nephew's annual Christmas dinner, where he is warmly welcomed. The following day, he gives Cratchit a raise and becomes like "a second father" to Tiny Tim, who escapes death. A changed man, Scrooge now treats everyone with kindness, generosity, and compassion; he now embodies the spirit of Christmas. Jim Carrey is full of surprises and the entire movie is a theatrical outburst of his talent, under the brilliant direction of Robert Zemeckis. Brilliant because it manages to take the Dickens story and walk us through all its dimensions. It's an enchanting story and I encourage you all to see it.

When a naïve young Dorian Gray arrives in late Victorian London, by train, to inherit an estate left to him by his abusive grandfather, he is swept into a social whirlwind by the charismatic Lord Henry Wotton, who introduces Gray to the hedonistic pleasures of the city. Lord Henry's friend, society artist Basil Hallward, paints a portrait of Gray to capture the full power of his youthful beauty. When the portrait is unveiled, Gray makes a flippant pledge: he would give anything to stay as he is in the picture—even his soul. Gray meets and falls in love with budding young actress, Sibyl Vane. After a few weeks, he proposes marriage to her. Lord Henry tells Gray that having children is "the beginning of the end", and after the two men visit a brothel, Gray leaves Sibyl. Heartbroken, the young woman drowns herself. Gray learns of her death the following day from her brother, James ("Jim"), who also reveals that Sybil was pregnant with Gray's child. Enraged, Jim tries to kill Gray before being restrained and carried off by the authorities. Gray's initial grief soon disappears as Lord Henry persuades him that all events are mere experiences and without consequence. His hedonistic lifestyle worsens, distancing him from a concerned Hallward.Gray returns home one evening to find that Hallward's portrait of him has become warped and twisted, and he soon realises that his off-hand pledge has come true; while the portrait ages, its owner's sins manifest as physical defects on the canvas. Before long, the curse imbued within Gray's portrait begins in earnest, resulting in Hallward's brutal murder after the artist reveals his secret. Gray dismembers and dumps Hallward's body in the River Thames, although the remains are soon recovered and buried. Gray then leaves London to travel for many years, inviting Lord Henry to come with him although Lord Henry declines because of his wife's pregnancy. Gray returns to London and during the welcome back party the guests are surprised to see that he has not aged at all during his 18-year absence. He becomes close to Lord Henry's daughter, Emily, a member of the UK suffragette movement, despite Lord Henry's distaste for such a relationship because of Gray's lifestyle and unnatural appearance, Emily having provided Lord Henry with a greater moral focus and having changed him for the better. Although Gray appears genuinely interested in changing his ways as he spends time with Emily, matters are complicated when he is confronted by Jim, still seeking revenge for his sister's death. Despite Gray's attempts to pretend to be someone else by pointing out his apparent age, Jim nevertheless deduces Gray's true identity, only to be killed by a train while pursuing Gray in the London Underground. As Gray makes arrangements to leave London with Emily, Lord Henry's study of old photographs makes him remember the time when he teased Gray to deal with the devil for eternal youth and beauty at the cost of his soul. Breaking into Gray's house as Gray and Emily are making plans to leave together, Lord Henry discovers the concealed portrait, but is interrupted by Gray before he can uncover it. Although Gray attempts to convince Lord Henry that he still cherishes his friendship and genuinely loves his daughter, Lord Henry discovers the stained scarf of Basil in a box, prompting Gray to declare angrily that he is what Lord Henry has made him, the personification of the life Lord Henry preached but never dared practise. Full of anger and grief, Gray attempts to strangle Lord Henry but is distracted by Emily's call long enough for Lord Henry to knock him aside and expose the portrait.Disgusted and horrified at the twisted sight on the canvas, Lord Henry throws a lit lamp at the portrait, causing it to catch fire, and then locks the gate of the attic to ensure that Gray and the painting are destroyed. Emily pleads with her father for the key. After seeing her and realising that he really loves her, he turns his back. As Lord Henry drags his daughter out of the house, Gray's last words are to assure Emily that she has his whole heart. Resolving to end it all, Gray stabs the painting with a poker, causing his body to age the years that it has never suffered, Gray charging at the portrait to impale it as his years catch up to him before the attic is consumed by an explosion. A few months later, scarred from the explosion and after a futile attempt to reconcile with Emily over the phone, Lord Henry heads to his attic where he keeps the now-youthful portrait of Gray, grimly noting that nobody will look at it now. As Lord Henry leaves, the portrait's eyes glow, suggesting that Gray's soul may still be within the portrait even after his death. The story has seen many adaptations down the years, and i'm certain will see many more in the times to come, however, in my opinion this is far and away the best to date. This is an excellent film, it would be a crime in my view to miss it.

In 1928, a globally famous illusionist, Wei Ling Soo, performs in front of a crowd in Berlin with his world-class magic act. As he walks off stage the film audience sees that he is actually a British man named Stanley (Colin Firth). He berates his employees and is generally curmudgeonly towards his well-wishers. In his dressing-room, he is greeted by old friend and fellow illusionist Howard Burkan (Simon McBurney). Howard enlists Stanley to go with him to the Côte d'Azur where a rich American family, the Catledges, has apparently been taken in by a clairvoyant and mystic, Sophie (Emma Stone). In fact, the son of the family, Brice (Hamish Linklater), is smitten with Sophie, and his sister Caroline (Erica Leerhsen) and brother-in-law George (Jeremy Shamos) are concerned Brice is considering proposing marriage. Howard says that he has been unable to uncover the secrets behind her tricks and he admits that the more he watched her the more he believed she really has supernatural powers. So he would like Stanley, who has debunked charlatan mystics in the past, to help him prove she is a fraud. Howard and Stanley travel to the French Riviera, but Stanley is soon astonished by Sophie's ability to go into a fugue state and apparently pull out highly personal details about him and his family. Stanley witnesses a seance in which Sophie communicates with the deceased patriarch of the American family. A candle floats up from the table and Howard grabs it to try to discern what trickery is at play, but is astounded to find no apparent subterfuge. Stanley begins spending time with Sophie. He takes her to visit his aunt and they drive a convertible along the picturesque rocky corniches. When Stanley and Sophie visit his aunt Vanessa (Eileen Atkins), Sophie is seemingly able, after holding aunt Vanessa's pearls, to somehow relate secret details of Vanessa's one great love affair. This finally convinces Stanley of Sophie's authenticity and he has an emotional epiphany, feeling that his lifelong rationalism and cynicism have been misguided. When caught in a rain storm, they end up at an observatory that Stanley had visited as a child. After the rain subsides, they open the roof up and view the stars. At a Gatsby-esque party, Stanley and Sophie dance. As they walk together later that night, Sophie asks him if he has felt any feelings for her "as a woman". Stanley, who has admired her talents as a mystic and is grateful to her for opening his eyes to a new worldview, is taken aback and admits that he has not thought of her that way. She leaves upset. The next day Stanley holds a press conference to tell the world that he, who spent his life debunking charlatan mystics, has finally come to find one who is the real deal. The reporters drill him with questions, but the grilling is interrupted when he receives news his aunt Vanessa has been in a car accident. Stanley rushes to the hospital, and in an emotional scene in a waiting room considers turning to prayer for solace. That is, if he now has come to believe in divination and mysticism, perhaps he should believe in God and prayer. He begins to pray for a miracle to save his aunt, but is unable to go through with it. The rationality that has been his whole life comes back and he rejects prayer, the supernatural and by extension, Sophie and her powers. He decides once more to prove she is a fraud. Using a trick seen earlier in his stage act, Stanley appears to leave the room but stays to overhear Sophie and Howard discuss their collusion in what has been an elaborate ruse. He discovers that Sophie was able to know so much about him and his aunt because she and Howard collaborated to fool Stanley. Sophie was indeed a charlatan tricking the rich American family and was quickly discovered by Howard. Rather than unmask her and stop the ruse, he enlisted Sophie to help him one-up his best friend and rival, Stanley. Stanley is initially angry at Howard and Sophie but decides to forgive them. In a conversation with his aunt Vanessa, who has recovered from her car accident, Stanley admits and fully realizes that he is in love with Sophie. He finds her and asks her not to marry Brice, but marry him instead. Sophie is taken aback and finds his haughty, awkward proposal unsuitable. She tells him she still plans to marry the wealthy Brice. Returning dejected to his aunt Vanessa's, Stanley further admits that he fell in love with Sophie at first sight, and, saddened, is then surprised when Sophie, who had arrived before him, knocks a spirit knock. He proposes, she accepts with a spirit knock, and they kiss as the film ends. Not a classic Woody Allen but a very pleasant and lightly humorous film that older audiences in particular will enjoy.

Prince Albert, Duke of York, the second son of King George V, stammers through his speech closing the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley Stadium. The Duke has given up hope of a cure, but his wife Elizabeth persuades him to see Lionel Logue, an Australian speech therapist living in London. During their first session, Logue insists on being called Lionel by his patient and on breaching royal etiquette by calling the Prince "Bertie", a name used only by his family. When the Duke decides Logue's treatment is unsuitable, Logue bets him that he can recite Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy without trouble and distracts him by playing music through headphones while recording his performance on an acetate record. Prince Albert leaves in anger but Logue offers him the recording as a keepsake.
After King George V makes his 1934 Christmas radio address, he explains to his son the importance of broadcasting to a modern monarchy and demands that Albert train himself, starting with a reading of his father's speech. His attempt to do so is a failure. Later, the Duke plays Logue's recording and hears himself reciting unhesitatingly. He therefore returns to Logue, where he and his wife both insist that Logue focus only on physical exercises, not therapy. Logue teaches his patient muscle relaxation and breath control but continues to probe gently and persistently at the psychological roots of the stutter. Albert eventually reveals some of the pressures of his childhood and the two men start to become friends. With George V's death in 1936, his eldest son David ascends the throne as King Edward VIII, but causes a constitutional crisis with his determination to marry Wallis Simpson, an American socialite divorcée who is still legally married to her second husband. It is pointed out that Edward, as head of the Church of England, cannot marry her, even if she receives her second divorce, because both her previous husbands are alive.
At his next session, Albert expresses his frustration that while his speech has improved when talking to most people, he still stammers when talking to his own brother and reveals the extent of Edward VIII's folly with Simpson. When Logue insists that Albert could be a good king instead, the latter labels such a suggestion as treason and dismisses Logue. When King Edward decides to abdicate in order to marry Simpson, Albert reluctantly succeeds as King George VI. The new king and queen visit Logue to make up the quarrel, startling Mrs. Logue, who was unaware that the new King had been her husband's patient.
During preparations for his coronation in Westminster Abbey, George learns that Logue has no formal qualifications. When confronted, Logue explains how he was asked to help shell-shocked Australian soldiers returning from The Great War. Since George remains unconvinced of his own fitness for the throne, Logue sits in King Edward's Chair and dismisses the underlying Stone of Scone as a trifle. Goaded by Logue's seeming disrespect, the King surprises himself with his own sudden burst of outraged eloquence and allows Logue to rehearse him for the ceremony.
Upon Britain's declaration of war with Nazi Germany in 1939, King George summons Logue to Buckingham Palace to prepare for his upcoming radio address to Britain and the Empire. Knowing the challenge that lies before him, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Winston Churchill and Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain are present to offer support. George and Logue are then left in the broadcasting room. He delivers his speech with Logue conducting him, but by end is speaking freely. Preparing to leave the room for the congratulations of those present in the palace, Logue mentions to the King that he still had difficulty enunciating 'w' and the King jokes back, "I had to leave something in or no one would have believed it was me". After the King and his family step onto the balcony of the palace and are applauded by the crowd, a title card explains that Logue was always present at King George VI's speeches during the war and that they remained friends for the rest of their lives.
I enjoyed watching this more than I thought I would. It's respectful but truthful in its content and subject and gives an interesting insight into the miseries of stuttering. On the other hand the pace of the film was never impaired by what could have been unexciting content. It was lively and maintained interest throughout.

The film begins with a voiceover from David (Hugh Grant) commenting that whenever he gets gloomy with the state of the world he thinks about the arrivals terminal at Heathrow Airport, and the pure uncomplicated love felt as friends and families welcome their arriving loved ones. David's voiceover also relates that all the messages left by the people who died on the 9/11 planes were messages of love and not hate. The film then tells the 'love stories' of many people:
Billy Mack and Joe
With the help of his longtime manager Joe (Gregor Fisher), rock and roll legend Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) records a Christmas variation of The Troggs' classic hit "Love Is All Around". Although he thinks the record is terrible, Mack promotes the release in the hope it will become the Christmas number one single. The song does go to number one; after briefly celebrating his victory at a party hosted by Sir Elton John, Billy discerns that Joe is in need of affection and suggests that he and Joe celebrate Christmas by getting drunk and watching porn.
Juliet, Peter, and Mark
Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) get married in a lovely ceremony orchestrated and videotaped by Mark (Andrew Lincoln), the best man. He promises no funny business on their wedding day, but as they walk down the aisle as husband and wife, a singer, choir and band appear performing "All You Need Is Love". Both Juliet and Peter believe that Mark dislikes her to the point that, when she has a favour to ask, Peter warns his best friend to be nice. Mark avoids seeing her so he will not have to show her his taped version of her wedding, but she stops by one day with a snack hoping to get him to warm to her. She confesses that she knows they are not close, but asks him to give her a chance. When asked to show her the tape, he feigns ignorance of where it is, but Juliet quickly finds it after only a brief search. She pops it in and at first is happy to see a decent shot of her in her wedding dress as the professionals messed theirs up. As the video continues, she sees it's focused only on her and it causes her to stop talking. Left in an uncomfortable silence, Mark can only blurt out that he acts that way for 'self-preservation' before running out and leaving her alone. On Christmas Eve, the doorbell rings at Juliet and Peter's house. She runs down and opens the door, only to find Mark, carrying a boom box playing Christmas songs and large cue cards. The first one tells her to tell her husband that it's carol singers. One by one, the cards confess his love for her. Then he walks away. Juliet runs after him to give him a quick, innocent kiss and runs back inside.
Jamie and Aurélia
Writer Jamie (Colin Firth) is pushed to Juliet and Peter's wedding by his girlfriend (Sienna Guillory) as she feigns illness. He returns between the ceremony and the reception to check on her. Finding his brother there, at first he believes his explanation, but the reality is revealed when she yells down to his brother that she wants to have sex a few more times before Jamie comes back. Crushed by this, Jamie withdraws to his French cottage where he meets Portuguese housekeeper Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz) who speaks only her native tongue. Despite their inability to communicate, they have similar personalities and become attached to each other. When Jamie returns to England, he realises he is in love with Aurélia and begins learning Portuguese. He returns to France to find her and ends up walking through town, gathering people as they walk to her job at a restaurant. In his broken Portuguese he declares his love for her and proposes. She responds, "Thank you. That will be nice. Yes is being my answer" in broken English as the crowd erupts in applause.
Harry, Karen, and Mia
Harry (Alan Rickman) is the managing director of a design agency; Mia (Heike Makatsch) is his new secretary. Harry is comfortably married to his wife, Karen (Emma Thompson), who stays home to raise their children. Harry becomes increasingly aroused by Mia's overtly sexual comments and actions at the office and does nothing to dissuade her. At the company Christmas party held at Mark's gallery, he not only inquires if Mark is her boyfriend, but dances closely with her. While at the shops, he calls Mia to find out what she wants for Christmas and ends up almost caught by his wife purchasing an expensive necklace from the jewellery department thanks to the salesman Rufus (Rowan Atkinson). Later on, Karen discovers the necklace in Harry's coat pocket and happily assumes it is a gift for her. When he hands her a similarly shaped box to open on Christmas Eve, she is heartbroken to find it is a Joni Mitchell CD instead and struggles to hide her pain from her husband and children. She realises that the necklace was for someone else and asks him what he would do if he was her and if the supposed affair is just sex or more than sex (love). When he sees the harm he's done to his wife, he is truly sorry and calls himself a fool. She responds that not only has he made a mockery of their marriage but of her and the way she chose to live her life.
David and Natalie
Karen's brother, David (Hugh Grant), is the recently elected Prime Minister. Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) is a new junior member of the household staff at 10 Downing Street and from the moment they meet, there is a spark that David continuously admonishes himself for. One day, while meeting with the U.S. President (Billy Bob Thornton), they run into Natalie and the president makes some inappropriate comments to David about Natalie's body. Later, David walks in on Natalie serving tea and biscuits to the president, and it appears that something untoward is happening. Natalie seems ashamed, but the President has a sly grin on his face. Due to this, when he gives his political speech, David is uncharacteristically assertive while taking a stand against the President's intimidating policies. Finding that his relationship with Natalie has become strained and a distraction, David has her moved to another job. However, he is spurred to action on Christmas Eve when he finds a Christmas card from Natalie declaring that she is his and no one else's. After a hilarious door to door search of her street, he comes across Mia, who informs him that Natalie lives next door. The entire family is on their way out the door to a multi-school Christmas play and he offers to drive them so he can talk to her. After Natalie sneaks him in to the school, he runs into his heartbroken sister who believes he is there for his niece and nephew. As the two try to keep from being seen and watch the show from backstage, they finally kiss. All their hiding was for nothing because as the curtain rises, they are seen kissing by everyone.
Daniel, Sam, Joanna, and Carol
Daniel (Liam Neeson), Karen's friend, mourns the recent death of his wife Joanna, as he tries to raise his stepson Sam (Thomas Sangster) alone. Sam has fallen for an American classmate, also named Joanna (Olivia Olson), and, after discussion with his stepfather, decides to learn the drums so that he can accompany her in the big finale for their school's Christmas pageant (the same one that Natalie's nephew and Karen and Harry's children are in). After Sam feels that he missed his chance to make an impression on her, Daniel convinces Sam that he must go catch Joanna, who is returning to the US, at the airport that night and show her how he feels, lest he regret it for his whole life. Sam runs away from the airport security and says hi to Joanna, who then kisses him on the cheek. Meanwhile, Daniel, who previously mentioned admiring supermodel Claudia Schiffer, meets Carol, played by Schiffer, the parent of another of Sam's school mates.
Sarah, Karl, and Michael
Sarah (Laura Linney) first appears at Juliet and Peter's wedding, sitting next to her friend Jamie. She is an American who works at Harry's graphic design company and has been in love for years with the company's creative director, Karl (Rodrigo Santoro). For unknown reasons they admire one another from afar, but neither is willing to make the first move. They finally connect at the Christmas party and he drives her home. They kiss but before more could occur, they are interrupted by her mentally ill brother, Michael, phoning from his residence in a mental care facility. Sarah and Karl's evening tryst is aborted and Karl leaves. On Christmas Eve both are working late and, when Karl wishes her good night, he tries to say more but cannot and only wishes her Merry Christmas. As he leaves, Michael phones and she spends the night with him, sharing her Christmas scarf.
Colin, Tony, and the American girls
After several blunders attempting to woo various English women, including Mia and Nancy (Julia Davis), the caterer at Juliet and Peter's wedding, Colin Frissell (Kris Marshall) informs his friend Tony (Abdul Salis) he plans to go to America and find love there, convinced that his Britishness will be an asset to him in a foreign country. Landing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Colin meets Stacey (Ivana Miličević), Jeannie (January Jones), and Carol-Anne (Elisha Cuthbert), three stunningly attractive women who fall for his Basildon accent and invite him to stay at their home, where they are joined by roommate Harriet (Shannon Elizabeth).
John and Judy
John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page) are professional body doubles for films. They meet for the sex scenes in a film for which Tony is a production assistant. John tells Judy that "It is nice to have someone [he] can just chat to." While the two are perfectly comfortable being naked and simulating sex on-set, they are shy and tentative off-set. Carefully pursuing a relationship, they attend the Christmas pageant (involving David and Natalie, Harry and Karen's children, Daniel and Sam, et al.) at the local school with John's brother
Rufus, played by Rowan Atkinson, is the jewellery salesman, whose obsessive attention to gift-wrapping nearly results in Harry being caught buying a necklace for Mia by Karen. Also, it is his distraction of staff at the airport which allows Sam to sneak through to see Joanna. In the director and cast commentary, it is revealed that Rufus was originally supposed to be a Christmas angel; however, this was dropped from the final script.
The epilogue is set one month later; the relationships of the characters have continued to evolve. Billy arrives with a gorgeous groupie in tow, and confirms to Joe that his hit song has launched his successful comeback. Juliet, Peter, and Mark arrive together to meet Jamie and his new bride, Aurélia. Karen and the kids greet Harry, but Karen's reaction suggests that they are struggling to move past his indiscretion. Sam greets Joanna, who has returned with her mother from America, and Daniel is joined by his new girlfriend Carol and her son. Newlyweds John and Judy, heading off to their honeymoon, run into Tony who is awaiting Colin as he returns from America. Colin returns with the gorgeous Harriet and her sister Carla (Denise Richards) who greets Tony with a hug and a kiss. Natalie aggressively welcomes David back from his flight in view of the press, indicating that their relationship is now public. These scenes dissolve into footage of actual arrivals at Heathrow Airport, as the screen is divided into an increasing number of smaller segments which form the shape of a heart, as The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" plays on.
the film is a bit over the top, a bit exaggerated, but it still works perfectly, has the perfect balance of humour and seriousness, and is one that I would see again

Coronavirus hospitalizations have hit records in these Bay Area counties under lockdown
Kellie Hwang Dec. 8, 2020 Updated: Dec. 8, 2020 8:57 a.m.
Registered Nurse Ryan Sabbatini wears a powered air purifying respirator as he exits the room of an Intensive Care Unit COVID-19 patient at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, Calif. Friday, July 31, 2020.
Coronavirus hospitalizations have hit record numbers in four of the five Bay Area counties that preemptively issued strict shelter-in-place orders amid the latest pandemic surge.
The new regional lockdowns aim to protect the state's hospitals from being overwhelmed. Officials have divided the state into five regions, with the orders triggered when available ICU capacity falls below 15%.
On Saturday, orders were imposed in the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California regions, whose ICU capacities had dropped to 6.3% and 10.9%, respectively, as of Monday.
Total available ICU capacity in the Bay Area region, which also includes Monterey and Santa Cruz counties, was at 25.7% on Monday. But in a preemptive move, the Bay Area counties of San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and Santa Clara plus the city of Berkeley moved to enforce the stay-at-home orders starting Sunday night.
As of Monday, San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties had set new records for coronavirus hospitalizations. Bob Wachter, chair of the UCSF Department of Medicine, said Sunday on Twitter that San Francisco's hospitals are not yet overwhelmed, but the rising trends are "hugely worrisome."
"Policies are important, but it's the dozens of choices we all make every day that will determine the shape of this curve," he said.
Here's a look at the most recent numbers for hospitalizations and availability of ICU beds in the five Bay Area counties under stay-at-home orders, based on county dashboard data.

San Francisco hit a record on Saturday for confirmed total COVID-19 hospitalizations, reaching 118, according to the county dashboard. Of those, 32 were in the ICU. The previous high was 114, reached on both July 28 and 30. On Saturday, the county reported 105 ICU beds available, or 37% of the total.

Confirmed coronavirus-positive patients reached 227 on Saturday in Alameda County, a pandemic record, according to the county dashboard. Of those, 58 patients were in the ICU, with 37.7% of ICU beds still available as of Saturday. The total 213 coronavirus hospitalizations on Friday matched the previous record set on July 28.

The county reported that as of Sunday, a record 138 confirmed COVID-19 positive patients were hospitalized, up from 133 on Saturday. Of those, 35 were in the ICU. Officials reported that a total of 66 ICU beds were available, or 40%. Since Nov. 29, daily hospitalizations have exceeded 100. The previous high was set on July 30 with 110 confirmed coronavirus patients hospitalized.

As of Saturday, Marin County hospitals were caring for 21 confirmed COVID-19 patients, including seven in the ICU, with 47.1% of ICU beds still available. The record number of hospitalizations was 35, reached on July 7, during an outbreak at San Quentin State Prison that began led to more than 2,000 cases, straining hospital resources.

Santa Clara County set its hospitalization record on Saturday, reporting 336 confirmed COVID-19 patients. Before Nov. 21, Santa Clara County hadn't broken 200 daily hospitalizations, but in just over a week surged past the 300 threshold.

ICU bed capacity has diminished dramatically in the Bay Area's largest county. As of Saturday, there were 84 COVID-19 patients in the ICU, with 54 beds available, or 15% of total capacity. The record was reached on Dec. 1 with 87 coronavirus patients in the ICU. Early in the pandemic, the number of ICU patients was also high, with the previous record of 79 set on April 6.

With the longtime success of dance competitions including "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing With the Stars," it's no doubt that we love dancing … even if we're not very good at it. But we're not the only ones with an affinity for dancing – animals take to it as well, and often for the same reasons.
Walk into any dance club and you'll find men and women shaking their stuff, and while many people do it just for the love of the music and movement, ingrained in our DNA is the belief that dancing shows off for potential mates. Animals, too, believe if they got moves like Jagger, they could win over a mate. Here are just some of the many animals who probably dance better than most of us.
Moonwalking with the Red-Capped Manakin Bird – There is nothing better than a dance-off, and the red-capped manakin is king of the competition. Male manakins gather around a makeshift stage where they engage in leks, or courtship displays. They'll actually moonwalk, pivot, and add some sound effects to impress the ladies. This video shows all the crazy, lightning fast moves of the manakin, but if you're pressed for time and want to see the famous moonwalk (not to mention the dance moves of the host), fast-forward to 2:50. You'll never have seen anything like it.
Voguing (or Air Traffic Control) with the Peacock Spider – The peacock spider is an anomaly in and of itself – it's as ugly … I mean, unique looking … as any spider, but comes equipped with a slew of cool colors on its rear end to attract a mate. Born as an obvious mate magnet, the peacock spider doesn't rely solely on his good looks. he puts on a show that combines arm movements like he's voguing, or directing traffic, while spreading out his colored fan abdomen to make sure his audience knows he's got the goods.
The Superb Bird-of-Paradise as a Masquerade Party – Birds-of-Paradise all have their unique dancing skills, each equally as beautiful and strange as the next. But the aptly named Superb Bird-of-Paradise perhaps has the strangest of all dance rituals. As much as we love to dance, being able to dance while dressed up in a costume adds a whole new layer of fun, and the SBP knows how to do it right. I'm not sure if it's strange, scary, or alluring (as it's intended to be), but it sure is unexpected. One moment there's a bird – the next moment, you have some unearthly creature stomping around like a character in Super Mario Brothers.
Bees and the Universal Language of Dance – Alright, so not every animal dances in the hopes of winning over a mate. Some animals dance in order to get their message across. Take the honey bee, for example. Honey bees shake their booties to let their group know they've found some pollen. Their type of movement will help direct their group to the exact location.
I don't think Michael Jackson (or his choreographer, actually) stole his idea for moonwalking from an animal like the manakin. But it goes to show that we don't always have the bright ideas. We're not always the originator of a fad. We're not the only ones who know how to wow an audience with a few moves and fancy costumes. Animals have been doing it for thousands of years. In comparison, we're just new kids on the block.


The Restaurant is closed from October 7th until November 30th.
Welcome in our house and in the wonderful Fuciade dip, which has been an alpine pasture for centuries. During the Sixties an old barn was converted in a refuge and in the Eighties we fell in love with it, trying to make it more and more comfortable along the years.
Either if you're just passing by or if you want to try the simple but delicious flavours of the Ladin tradition, a break in our chalet will make even more special your stay in Val di Fassa! Surrounded by the Costabella Group, with a breath-taking view of the Pale di San Martino and the Col Margherita, Fuciade is the perfect place for all kinds of hikes.
If you want to stay with us, you'll appreciate the coziness of our rooms. An excellent dinner by chef Martino and the magic silence of our mountains will offer you an unbelievably restorative sleep. Breakfast, with a rich buffet of local products and home-made sweets by our patisserie, will give you the energy to discover our marvelous mountains.
Reaching us is easy: if you stay overnight, we'll give you a special permit to arrive here by car in summer, while in winter we'll come and pick you up with our snowcats and snowmobiles.
We're waiting for you, for a memorable holiday in Val di Fassa!
The path that leads to Fuciade from Passo San Pellegrino is well traced, very easy and nearly flat, so you can come also with a stroller. It's feasible also in winter, with proper equipment. The hike in the wood gives plenty of emotions and it works up a good appetite, which we're always ready to satisfy!
The refuge is located at the foot of the Costabella Group, theatre of World War I and spectacular access point to Canazei. While sitting comfortably on our benches, you'll admire the Pale di San Martino in all their magnificent colors, the Col Margherita and, with a short walk amidst the grazing lands, the Mount Civetta. During summer, you can taste Ladin typical food, observe farmers practicing old trades like grass cutting and haymaking, and get near to grazing cows and horses.

The three websites named above happens to be where people gather to buy and sell items, exchange information about housing, jobs and personal advertisement. The major reason why people use them is because of the large audience and the ease to use. With craigslist being a major ad website, it is one of the best choices if you live in any metropolitan city because you will be privileged to check for items that are exclusively for your location.
The following are the reasons why you should use craigslist in Colorado.
One of the reasons why you tend to sell or shop better on craigslist is because the ads used on craigslist are usually large and detailed about the job, housing or item for sale. Craigslist does not charge for posts word count and therefore makes transactions easier on the platform.Craigslist is easy to use.
When you need a user friendly platform to buy or sell then you need to visit craigslist but it is always easier when you visit the landing page of your city, a very good example is the Craigslist Colorado Springs which is the landing page for Colorado Spring. Following the link will lead you to a website where you can shop on craigslist, amazon and eBay and with the link you are getting a wider range and scope of the item or service you need.
Just choose any of the subcategory to narrow down your search to what you really need. This will list out the item you are searching for in a chronological order with titles that can be clicked.
Without prior knowledge of how to use the internet or how to use craigslist, you will understand how craigslist operate on first search.
But how will it sound having a platform that will expose beyond craigslist. A website that is in short a summary of the best you can get from craigslist, amazon and eBay. Sometimes visiting multiple websites or opening multiple tabs when trying to purchase an item may be tiring and for that reason, a website that will give the price of multiple websites with just one click is the perfect solution.
In conclusion, the benefits of shopping on craigslist cannot be overemphasized as you get what you want when you want them within your location. You can also get an item on someone's behalf from a different location.
Do you know you are just a click away?
