IN THE absence of a new Daniel Craig 007 adventure, Angelina Jolie gives us the next best thing - spy thriller Salt.

Originally intended as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise, who turned it down in favour of Knight And Day, Salt proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that no one can hold a candle to Jolie as an action heroine.

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honour and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian Pittsburgh-Steelers spy.

Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture.

Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who Is Salt?" Salt began life with an offhand comment Jolie made a few years ago. "I was meeting with (Sony Pictures co-chairman) Amy Pascal a few years ago when it came up in conversation that she was getting ready to make one of the new James Bond films," Jolie remembers.

"I playfully said, 'I want to be Bond.' That was our little joke, and then she found this project."

Salt, directed by Phillip Noyce of Patriot Games fame, is a top notch, highly entertaining thriller that shows Jolie could really give Daniel Craig a run for his money.

Now there is a prospect - Jolie as the villain in the next 007 adventure?

ANGELINA Jolie and George Clooney have scotched speculation that they will appear together in a film about Marilyn Monroe.

Reports claim the pair will play Moschino 100 Percent Silk Scarf M16 Bags Monroe and Frank Sinatra in an adaptation of Andrew O'Hagan's novel The Life And Opinions Of Maf The Dog, And Of His Friend Marilyn Monroe.

However, Clooney's agent dismissed the cheap Jimmy Choo Shoes story as "totally fabricated" and Jolie's management also distanced her from the project.

O'Hagan reportedly announced the casting of the stars at the Edinburgh Book Festival.

Meanwhile, Jolie has reportedly shown an interest in starring in a sequel to her new spy thriller Salt.

She and director Phillip Noyce are eager to reprise the Evelyn Salt character in a second thriller.

Dismissed by the Spanish in the 16th century as "Islas Inutiles" or "Useless Islands" because of their lack of silver and gold, the Netherlands Antilles islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao - the ABC islands - still fail to capture the imagination of British visitors.

But just as the Spanish were wrong, so are we to ignore this trio of islands off the coast of Venezuela. For with their arid, cacti- rich landscapes more akin to their South American neighbours than the tropical lushness of the Caribbean, they have much to offer - not least the fact that they lie outside the hurricane belt, so are a safe bet at this time of year.

ARUBA

Detroit-Pistons

Fifteen miles off the coast of Venezuela, Aruba is the first stop on my ABC tour. The capital, Oranjestad, is a busy cruise port with glitzy casinos, big hotels and shopping malls. But there is much more - or should that be less? - to the island, as a short jeep ride reveals.

At 20 miles long by six miles wide, Aruba is just the right size for exploring. The Arikok National Park makes up 20 per cent of its land mass, while on Aruba's south and west coasts there are miles of white beaches, perfect for snorkelling and swimming.

I hit the back roads that run along the rugged north coast, passing eerie rock formations and watapana, or divi-divi trees, permanently sculpted into graceful, southwestbending shapes by the trade winds.

After passing the vivid yellow Alto Vista chapel, built on the site of the first Catholic church in Aruba, and the Baby Natural Bridge, carved out of coral limestone by the sea (the old Natural Bridge collapsed in 2005), we come to the California Lighthouse on the island's northernmost tip. Built in 1914, it was named after the SS California, which sank off the Aruba coast.

Hoping for better fortune, I stack stones in the surreal "Wish Rock Garden", a stretch of coastline covered by small piles of rocks. Legend has it that you can have as many wishes as rocks you can pile on top of other in a pyramid shape - but if the tower falls, your dreams disappear with it.

BONAIRE

A 30-minute hop from Aruba, tiny Bonaire is a haven for divers, who flock here to explore its pristine reefs, wrecks and marine life. There are no branded hotels, just small resorts and quirky independent accommodation.

The island's abundance of salt made it attractive to the Dutch, who captured the ABC islands from the Spanish in the early 1600s and took control of the precious Bonaire salt pans. The salt mountains make an incongruous "snowy" image against the deep blue of the Caribbean sky.

At Pekelmeer, we see the stone huts where the slaves who harvested the salt lived and marvel at the flamingos, flashes of startling pink against the turquoise water.

Inland, at Rincon, we explore the eccentric tangle of village streets, unchanged for centuries. First

Off to Cornwall soon, and I've always imagined the natives would be happy to see grockles like me crawling down the M5 and A38, my wallet stuffed with tourism pounds.

I know they have their funny ways down there, and the rumour about two pricing systems in local shops just won't go away - a tin of beans being 20p for a local and a pound for any fool from the wrong side of the Tamar.

Replica supply fashion Replia Louis Vuitton Wallets I will also never forget going for a job interview in Truro, and seeing "English pigs go home" scrawled on a wall. Since then I've travelled to Wales a lot with my work, and have never seen anything so rude.

But every summer, which is when the rest of the country remembers that Cornwall is there, the "Cornish question" gets another chance to be aired. The easiest conclusion is it's just a weird obsession of a few fringy nationalists, a hobby for retired constitutional historians and linguistic nerds.

But I've been reading the latest about it online, in an article that reminds us of Cornwall's richly distinct identity and points out in a survey only last year a third of Cornish children said they were Cornish rather than British or English.

Christian Louboutin Replica Shoes

These latest mutterings about Cornish independence raise the spectre of a Celtic pincer movement against the rest of us. Cornish nationalists see themselves as one of the six Celtic nations of the European Atlantic arc. We are surrounded: by them, the Welsh, Scots, Bretons, Irish and the inhabitants of the Isle of Man.

Just imagine if they got their way. Heading West, we'd be met at Offa's Dyke by men waving dragon flags; Northwards, the Picts would be waiting at a newly enforced Hadrian's Wall; and to the South- West, the white-on-black cross that says you're in Kernow.

The real problem with this would be a reminder to the English of our own awful, boring, embarrassing sense of identity, or lack of it. Celts attract sympathy for all the suffering inflicted on them: someone banned their language, stole their land, starved them, or laughed at their funny accents.

But nobody wants to be us.

All we've got is warm beer, cricket and cups of tea. We envy the Celts their heroic potential: kilts, choirs, suffering, martyrs. Even their food is better - pasties, potato farls and the haggis (OK, leeks are not sexy) whereas we've just got scones or chicken tikka.

Why don't we beat them to it, and all become Cornish, Welsh, Scots, or Irish. Many of us are half way there anyway through our mongrel ancestry. Celts, we don't hate you - we want to be you.

Jenny Harris, of Balclutha Primary School, asks:

How common are four and five-leaf clovers?

Washington Capitals jerseys

Derek Woodfield, a clover geneticist with AgResearch, responds:

Multifoliolate leaves (ie, more than the normal three leaflets on trifoliolate leaves of common clovers) have been reported in many legume species, including white clover (Trifolium repens), red clover (Trifolium pratense), crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum), soybean (Glycine max) and lucerne (Medicago sativa).

The frequency of plants with multifoliolate leaves is normally less than 1 per cent among commercial cultivars, but high levels of multifoliolate leaves have been achieved through breeding.

The expression of multifoliolate leaves has been nike dunks studied in white clover and it is heritable. However, there is evidence that this trait is maternally inherited.

Miu Miu Shoes

While four leaflets is the most common multifoliolate form, there is considerable variation in this trait, with up to 13 leaflets observed on an individual white clover leaf. Several multifoliolate white clovers have been sold commercially for ornamental use, with 'Chrimson Charm' and 'Silver Sprite' sold in New Zealand. The multifoliolate trait in white clover generally causes a yield reduction of between 10 and 20 per cent.
