Keep Calm and Chive On!
A nice, honest girl that knows how to treat a man...One thats down to go out and party, but also likes to hang out at home and just watch a movie together. It's fun getting in deep conversations and getting to know people. I'd say I'm very grounded and open minded. My friends always say I'm too happy and always in a good mood .For the most part that is true. Life is rough and tries to kick our ass, but with good friends and family it helps to keep my head above water. I've just gotten out of a 2 year relationship and don't really think I'm looking for anything too serious, just someone who likes good company and then who knows where it goes. Hit me up if you want to just have fun getting to know someone new. I just moved back from Hawaii. So meeting new people, outside my circle of friends, would be fun. If this catches your attention then don't be shy and hit me up.

Then, Climb UP the Statue Notre-Dame de France
If you need more excersize, you are allowed to actually climb up into the Statue, which has several viewpoints along the way, thru small windows.
The statue is 16 meters high and weighs 110 tons. The statue is made up of 105 bolted on pieces, which are visible from inside (see photos).

Climb to the Statue Notre-Dame de France
The bronze statue of Notre-Dame de France stands on top of the Corneille Rock, and is made from 213 Russian cannons taken in the Siege of Sevastopol (1854–1855). It was presented to the town on the 12th of September 1860.
The initial approach is via the Cathedral. It is a reasonably easy ascent, with many places to stop and rest and view the countryside. There are also benchs, toilets and fountains on the way up.

A feast for the palate. . . .
Lentilles du Puy
Lentils are quite a common vegetable, which you can find almost everywhere on the planet, with thousands of recipes to prepare these little seeds for the enjoyment of our palate. . . . I had recently wonderful dals in India; I like lentils in almost every way (soups, salads, cooked with smoked pork loin, etc. . . . . ), but there are lots of varieties of lentils and the "Lentille Verte du Puy" is to lentils what "Chateau Lascombes" (a Margaux, Medoc wine) is to red wine: the nec plus ultra!
The lentille Verte du Puy (The Green Lentil of Le Puy) is grown is a very small area around Le Puy, on volcanic soils, without fertilizers, and benefits of a special label in France, an "appellation contrôlée", and not all green lentils are from Le Puy. Regulations are very strict to get this label. These lentils have a very thin skin, are soft and sweet, a very special earth flavour, hazelnut perfume, and just as salad with onions and garlic they are the best for me.
On the main picture they are displayed in the gift shop in Chavaniac's castle, but in Le Puy area, you can find them in supermarkets, and in good groceries elsewhere in France.
This lentil has an official website (and an English version), where you may learn a lot more and even download recipes!
The second picture shows blonde lentils and green lentils; easy to make a difference!

Fontaine Vibert
The Vibert Fountain
Leave a little bit the catholic atmosphere and walk around the old city; on Boulevard Carnot, on the west side you will find this small fountain and the statue decorating it on top.
I did not find information about this little fountain, it is just nice, I like this . . . euh. . . shepherdess ( ? she leans on a billy goat), siren (?) , well, young woman above the strange fishes spitting the water of the fountain. Enough of Holy Mary, this is beautiful too! And near the shades of the linden trees, just enjoy and relax after the walk in the steep streets of Le Puy! Ah don't drink the water.

Jesus can be cheap here!!
Le Puy is a catholic city, but there are some iconoclasts who manage to acquire crucifixes by dozens and sell them to the tourists; if you want to decorate your house, or just make a small gift, it might be an idea for shopping. . . Well, not me, but watch out, there could be real antiques among these little things.
There are antique shops in Le Puy, but I did not visit till now.

Other religious or civil buildings in Le Puy.
There is too much to see in Le Puy. . . well, beauty is never too much, but there are lots of other churches to visit, and also, when you walk in the streets you will see remains of the ramparts, beautiful "hotels particuliers" (mansions), mainly of renaissance style, little towers. . . What I like is a bit the austere style of the buildings, not a lot of colours or paints; the shapes, the texture of the volcanic stones give a special cachet to the buildings. . . What to do? Walk and keep the eyes open, every time I come to Le Puy, I discover something new.
Main picture is Tour Panessac, a tower which guarded the western entrance of the old city.
On the second and third pictures is Chapelle St Clair, located at the foot of the Aiguilhe Rock a little chapel where the different volcanic rocks used to build it really give a special style to this building.
There are beautifully carved doors at entrances of schools, convents, or other institutions, like on fourth picture,
And I like this 17th century very classical house, on Place du Greffe (Picture 5), this luminous façade, the high windows. . . nothing really special, just nice on the little place with the trees. Ah, the sign says it has been sold. . . . . I'll try next time. . . . .

Chavaniac La Fayette (2)
If you visit the castle of La Fayette, of course, you should not miss a visit in the beautiful parc; I was two times there, and both times it rained, but no matter, even under rain it is interesting to walk under the big trees, discover the little statues in the gardens, look at the castle from far. It is what gardeners calla "Jardin à l'Anglaise", an English garden, funny enough if thinking La Fayette fought against the English. . . . But the actual lay out dates from after his death, and I confess, English gardens have more charm to me than the "Jardins à la Française", French gardens.
So take an umbrella (well, in summer it does not rain a lot) and walk in the garden, see the big trees, the basins, the statues. . . waterfalls. . . .

La Fayette nous voila!
"La Fayette nous voila"; that was what the American troops told when they came to Europe in 1917, during WW1, to help the French and their allies against the German in Northern France.
They remembered La Fayette who contributed to the birth of U S A, specially at the battle of Georgetown.
La Fayette was born in the castle of the village of Chavaniac (Now Chavaniac - La Fayette), and travelled to America to fight for freedom of the colonies (euh, or against the English. . . ), and the little village of Chavaniac is very proud of his child.
The castle which has been purchased by an American millionaire in 1917 has been renovated and is now managed by a French-American institution; an interesting museum and a beautiful garden are worth a visit here.
The visit of the castle takes about 1 hour with a guide, and you will go through many rooms of the castle, from the kitchen to La Fayette's sleeping room, via many big reception rooms, where is mainly 18th – 19 th century mobiliar; along the visit you will learn about La Fayette's achievements, his friendship with Washington and his political life after he returned from America, his battles with the Parisian Revolution Establishment. If you American are not catholic and do not make a pilgrimage to Le Puy, you may go there and pay respect to one of the founders of your country. . . .

La Fayette
One of the most famous childs of Le Puy is of course La Fayette, yes, the one who contributed to the birth of the United States of America, George Washington's friend. He is in fact from a village not far from here. In Le Puy he has his statue, of course, which you can see on Boulevard St Louis, just outside the west part of the old city on Boulevard St Louis.
Not a lot is told about La Fayette in Le Puy, as he lived most of his life in Paris (and America). If you do not have time to visit his birth village (next tips), pay respect to him, and tell the tales of this famous fighter for freedom and democracy to your kids, looking at his statue here.
This statue, by the way had been hidden during the occupation of France by German troops during WW II, the local people fearing the German would either destroy this symbol of freedom, or more prosaically, use the bronze for their weapon industry. . .

If you have no idea of what to bring back. . .
Verveine du Velay
The famous Verbena liquor of Velay which comes in green or red, is elaborated in Le Puy since 1859 with 32 different herbs, the Verbena being the most important; the recipe (proportions, distillation type, time of maceration of each, etc. . . ) is of course a secret. Since 1886, the Pages family runs the distillery.
I am not very fond of sweet alcoholic beverages, but many mothers in law appreciate. . . . Besides its "unequalled taste", it is said to be a good digestive liquor, helps to sleep, etc. . . Well, it is a very good liquor, but I do not have at home. Those who know the Chartreuse liquor from the Alps, or the Izarra, from the Basque country (did you notice, they all come from mountain areas?) may find some similarities with the Verveine du Velay.
Good in Le Puy, is that tourists can visit the distillery (the modern one, located in the close by industrial area), learn about mountain plants during that visit, a bit about distillery techniques , have a liquor tasting session, and will be offered a big of choice in other products from the distillery; but the Verveine is the typical one!
On the second picture is the campanile on the roof of the old headquarters of the Pages family, and the third picture shows this building located in the lower part of Le Puy.

Jules Valles
The communard from the catholic city!!
Jules Valles (1832 – 1885), novelist, journalist and communard (Member of the Commune of Paris, the libertarian-communist insurrection,1871 (so well evoked by Victor Hugo in "Les Misérables") has not the place he deserves in French literature history. Valles was born in Le Puy, in a small poor house and was all his life during a rebellious person. During his exile in London he wrote his major work, comprising three autobiographic novels, "L'enfant" where he describes his poor childhood in Le Puy and the small villages nearby, "Le Bachelier", where he writes about his youth and how he built his political consciousness during his studies in Paris, and "l'Insurgé", describing his political life before the Commune de Paris and giving an account on the events during the Commune.
The catholic (since ever) municipality of Le Puy and the tourist office could not avoid to pay tribute to Jules Valles: he has his street, the house where he was born is marked, and there is a marked hiking path where it is possible to have a little idea of where he lived during his childhood, and may be of what contributed to shape his rebellious mind.
Valles returned to France in 1880, and tens of thousands of Parisians accompanied him to his last rest place in the Père Lachaise cemetery in 1885.
Valles' writings contributed to my way of looking at the world, when I discovered them at 15-16 years old. . . . . and that is why I "visit" him when going to Père Lachaise, in Paris.
Visit him, rue Jules Valles, of course! Begins Place de la Platrière, 200 m south of the cathedral.

Little statues everywhere
There are the giant statues of Notre Dame de France, or St Joseph, but if you look up, in the streets, you may see lots of tiny statues (mainly Madonna) in small niches, at house corners, above doors, etc. . . . Some are very interesting to look at, because of the character represented, the situation, the beauty. . . many reasons to keep the eyes up.
The Madonna on the main picture is behind a grid to protect her from some indelicate visitors certainly; she is from late Renaissance; the same Madonna, on the second picture, in same posture in more modern version and with different material is high enough, to be out of reach of possible looters and is probably not so precious. Other Madonnas in different styles, on the next two pictures, and on the last picture a modern little statue. There are many more in the streets of Le Puy, you can even play with co-travellers or the kids at who will see first the next one, or who sees the most. . . but better is taking time and look quietly, some appear only the second or third time when you walk in the area. . . . . The little statues alone would deserve several pages to inventory them. They are a pleasure to look at when walking in the streets.

Notre Dame de France
If you do not remember you are in deep catholic France, she reminds you! Impossible to miss, not to see this giant foundry iron statue in le Puy! This 23 meters high statue has been built on the Rocher Corneille, highest point of the city with 213 cannons taken to the Russian army at Sebastopol in 1854.
To have a nice birds eye over the city it is worth to walk up the Rocher Corneille and then the 260 steps inside the statue up to her neck, from where you cam look over the city.
The Virgin is represented with a crown (Queen of heaven), holding her son blessing the city; she stands on a snake, almost dead, victory of the good on the evil (euh. . . ?).
Small little windows are cut in the walls along the staircase (second picture) and from there, you can have views over the city (third picture). She watches you when you walk in the streets (Picture 4) and even not framed pictures show she dominates the city(picture 5).
Open every day from February 1st to November 16th and during Christmas holidays

The famous Le Puy spindle lace
Experts recognize the different types of spindle lace of Auvergne (Le Puy, Craponne, Brioude. . . ), the one from le Puy is the most famous.
The lace here is a made on a "carreau" (pillow lace), a sort of a cushion, on which a patterned cardboard is fixed and guides the worker who works with small needles, fitted along the pattern and, with a number of bobbins (spindles) he (she) unrolls, following to me obscure schemes, this above, then this in that direction, then this above but opposite direction, etc. . . . and they can work very quickly.
The lace workers you see in the streets, are more or less there for demonstration, but they are skilled, and even men do this. Traditionally, it was done during the long winter eves, by girls or women , in the farms, then later, there were "factories" employing dozens of girls making this dentelle.
In the streets of Le Puy, you will see them on the windows of the houses and in many shops, specially on avenue de la Cathédrale where people sitting on chairs with their cushion on the lap, work, for themselves and for the tourists.
On the second picture are two experts working hard in front of their shop, and the third picture shows a man, and samples of this Le Puy lace.
Work on the cobblestone street on picture 4 and a cushion with card board, , drawings for guiding the work on fifth picture.
If you are really interested in lace, two places of interest:
Workshop of National academy of lace, Rue Du Guesclin, (04 71 09 71 41): collections of antique and modern "works of art"; closed in 2007 for renovation.
Spindle lace school, 38-44, rue Raphaël (04 71 02 01 68): collections of ancient laces; also courses and lessons, even by distance teaching! Check out:

Treasure of the cathedral
In the treasure of the cathedral (Entrance bear the cloister) you will find many gifts to the French Church by artists or some patrons; it is a bit a mix of all sorts of artefacts but there are also real relicts and treasures like this painted wooden statue of a pope of Avignon (Benedict XII, picture 2), these strange "vegetal" statues of the 17th century (picture 3), a gold plated bishop's crozier, (picture 4), or this little altar cross (last picture).
Many paintings, liturgical instruments will capture you eyes in this little museum; oops, should not be called museum, but "treasure"; enough with Catholics and religious life. . . . . There are other things to look at and to discover in Le Puy!

Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy
+44 (0)20 7073 6900
15 Rathbone Street, London, W1T 1NB
At two in the morning.
Saying \"yes\" when Peter Mead asked me to join Abbott Mead Vickers as a graduate trainee. Surviving an MBA at London Business School. Saying \"yes\" when Jeremy Miles asked me to set up an agency with him, Malcolm and Paul.
When the CEO of one of MCBD's first clients turned to me in a meeting and said: \"Would you take down the minutes, dear?\"
Walking through the front door of our agency in the morning knowing I am going to spend my day with people I admire and enjoy.
Taking the \"you didn't win it\" phone call.
Get a life.
Stevie Spring – she pulls off successful and lovely with flair.
Rediscover acting.
\"Freshly fucked\" hair (as my old boss once told me).
My control freak tendencies.

I am completely confident...
My Nespresso coffee machine.
Calcraft, who was once told by a boss at Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO that she wouldn't move up in the business unless she controlled her \"freshly fucked hair\", has definitely proved them wrong. MCBD's vivacious chief executive, who stepped up to the position in 2007, has been the glue that has held the agency together, taking it to new heights with a number of top hirings and new-business wins.

All you have to do is aim, preview your shot with the 2.7-inch LCD monitor, and the L31's Easy Auto Mode will do the rest.
With ZR50's tilt-type LCD, taking self-portraits and groups shots are even more fun and easy to do. Because it's compact, you can quickly take it out and snap shots whenever and wherever there's a gathering of friends and family. You can even share those precious moments with absent friends by uploading your recorded images to SNS sites via smartphone. When taking pictures is fun, the time you enjoy with your family and friends is even more enjoyable.
When taking a self-portrait, simply open the tilt-type LCD 180 degrees. This way, you can check both angle and composition to easily capture the image you desire. What's more, taking self-portraits has never been easier since the control buttons also tilt along with the LCD, making it smooth and simple to playback or skip forward/backward to any recorded images. This "Shoot" and "Look" function redefines the meaning of "fun" in taking self-portraits.
The ZR50 features a shutter button on the front of the camera body. This means you can hold the camera out lengthwise with the lens trained on yourself and easily release the shutter with your thumb.
Introducing the crowd-pleaser of compact cameras. The S2900 is so slim that it slides right into your pocket without weighing you down and so stylish that you can't wait to take it out and show it off as your favourite accessory. But don't let its good looks fool you into thinking that's all to it, because it's no lightweight in image quality. With 20.1 effective megapixels, just one click turns everyday moments into extraordinary pictures. Its Special Effects and Quick Effects let you bring out the best in every photo, so you'll always enjoy pictures that will put a smile on your face.
The Sony Alpha a6000 Mirrorless Digital Camera is featuring a 24.3MP APS-C-sized Exmor APS HD CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor with marked low-light quality and sensitivity to ISO 25600, shooting up to 11 fps and an intelligent Fast Hybrid AF system .

Astronaut Tom Marshburn
Lots of people raised in small towns leave home when they grow up but when Tom Marshburn grew up – he really left home. He left the planet. A physician, he became a NASA astronaut and has spent part of his career in space making repeated visits to the International Space Station. That gave him a view or our tiny blue planet that few have had a chance to see. We travel from Statesville to spaceville with Tom Marshburn.

Amos Oz in the Midrashic Mode
Lowin, Joseph, Midstream
"Fouillez-moi. Un tresor est cache dedans."
-- La Fontaine
In Imagining the Child in Modern Jewish Fiction (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1992), Naomi Sokoloff amply demonstrates that childhood and children hold a prominent place in Jewish and Hebrew fiction. Recently, within the past half-dozen years, three Israeli novels, by three prominent writers -- Meir Shalev's The Loves of Judith, 1994 (1999); David Grossman's, The Zigzag Kid, 1994 (1997); and Amos Oz's Panther in the Basement, 1995 (1997) J suggested an area of inquiry that should be of particular interest to readers and students of Jewish narrative. What lessons--pertaining to both Jewish esthetic practice and Jewish ethical concerns -- can be derived from a study of the way childhood is presented in a work of fiction?
The three novels mentioned -- each in its own way -- provide fertile ground for addressing this question. This essay will focus on Panther in the Basement, by Amos Oz, precisely because that novel helps to clarify a Jewish take on the relationship between ethics and esthetics.
Panther in the Basement is a novel written in the Midrashic mode, and it is not Amos Oz's first novel to be so composed. One of the most interesting aspects of his 1985 novel, A Perfect Peace, is its Midrashic construction, its rewriting and reinterpretation of a Biblical text. The Hebrew title of the novel derives from the El Maleh Rahamim prayer recited at funerals and Yizkor services. In addition, there are many allusions in the novel to Biblical characters and events. The most developed allusion is to the trio of King Saul, his son Jonathan, and the charismatic intruder and supplanter, the sweet singer of Israel, David. It is a simple enough thing to see Yolek as the fast-fading king, his son Yonatan as the weak-willed Jonathan, and Azariah -- with his guitar, his poems, his prophecies that come true, and his ability to fix anything broken -- as a talented if irritating David.
Panther in the Basement also rewrites the David story. For example, the British soldier whom Proffy, the central character, befriends, retells, in his own key, the story of King David. "His David was a village boy who was cut out to be a poet and a lover, but God made him king, which did not suit him, and condemned him to living a life of wars and intrigues. Small wonder that at the end of his life David was tormented by the same evil spirit that he himself had inflicted on his predecessor, Saul, who was a better man than he." Furthermore, as Proffy listens to this exegesis, he hears in it a lesson for modern times. Commenting on the commentary, he says, "Sergeant Dunlop talked about Saul and David and Michal and Jonathan and Absalom and Joab in tones of faint wonderment, as if they, too, were youngsters from the Hebrew Underground with whom he had once sat in the Orient Palace, learning Hebrew from them and teaching them a little Philistine in return."
But Panther in the Basement engages in rewriting on a much grander and more complex scale. It, too, as we have seen, contains the rewriting of Biblical texts. It also embodies a rewriting of Oz's own previous collection of novellas, The Hill of Evil Counsel (1975). The repeated expression "Perfidious Albion," with its tell-tale epic epithet, is first found in the stories of The Hill of Evil Counsel, where it plays a relatively marginal role. What Amos Oz does in this novel is to take that expression from his previous work and rework it to give it symbolic meaning beyond its words.
The novel's title is also a reiteration of a 1940s film, entitled Panther in the Basement, in which Tyrone Power is "given a free hand ... to disappear in the fog and assume and discard identities at his sole discretion." Another movie, Lightning Bolt, with Olivia de Havilland and Humphrey Bogart, provides a heroic model for the children of the book. "Humphrey Bogart was captured by the enemy. Wounded, unshaven, with his clothes torn, and a thin trickle of blood trailing from the corner of his mouth, he confronted his interrogators with a faint smile that was polite yet mocking. …

Laos Holidays
Forget what the authorities tell you, goes the joke. Laos PDR doesn't stand for the People's Democratic Republic. Instead, so laid-back is this lush landlocked nation, PDR actually means Please Don't Rush.
Laos will undoubtedly give you one the more relaxed and tranquil holidays of your life. But that doesn't mean the hard-working A&K staff take it easy. Far from it. As part of a long-established, highly experienced and brilliantly connected regional team, they're on call 24 hours a day, pulling out the stops to perfect your journey.
Just ask Richard and Sally. When their Mekong cruise was abandoned due to engine failure, preventing them reaching Kamu Lodge for a long-anticipated stay in Luang Prabang, A&K came to the rescue. Defying the tricky logistics of a remote region, we instantly chartered a private replacement boat.
Such service wouldn't surprise Alex and her party. After their guide promised an impromptu Baci ceremony - the celebratory ritual of tying strings around someone's wrist - they found themselves watching a lovingly rehearsed performance involving over half a village.
But this isn't just a welcoming country. As an Abercrombie & Kent luxury Laos holiday reveals, it's also beautiful. Startlingly beautiful. From the south's Bolaven Plateau with its elaborate thread of rivers, and the thundering Phapheng Falls, to the centre's haunting limestone karsts, to the north's mysterious Plain of Jars, fecund mountains, hill tribes and floating hotels, it's a photographer's dream.
We'll take you to the capital Vientiane, where the temples are good but the coffee and patisserie - a tasty legacy of French rule - and sunset Beerlao, are even better. And, perhaps most memorable of all, we'll show you Luang Prabang. The delicate morsel of a city, pinched between the chopsticks of the Mekong and Khan Rivers, has temples, night markets and the dawn ritual of saffron-robed monks shuffling through tranquil streets to collect alms.
Laos PDR. Please don't rush, but please do come.
Useful info

Create Herringbone Wall Decor With Washi Tape
Use colorful paper tape to create a geometric pattern — perfect for renters or kids' bedrooms. When you're ready for a new look, it's easily removable and won't damage your walls.
Materials Needed:
- colorful paper tape (also called masking tape or washi tape)
- pencil
- tape measure
Measure and Mark Wall
Pick the blank wall you are using. Measure across the whole wall and divide by an odd number. For small walls, divide by 3, for larger walls, divide by 5 or 7. My wall is small, so I divided by 7 and got 23. Starting at the edge of the wall, mark every 23" (or whatever your equation equaled). This technique guarantees that each section of the herringbone pattern will be equal.
Hold the measuring tape vertically on each of the marks you just made and draw a straight vertical line. Each section of your wall should now be marked with a vertical pencil line.
Add the First Piece of Tape
Starting at the edge of the wall, stick a piece of tape on a downwards diagonal from the edge to the first vertical line.
Cut the tape to be vertical at the pencil line.
Fill the First Section With Vertical Tape Strips
Fill in the whole first section of your wall, alternating colors of tape. Use the first tape stripe you placed as a guide for the rest. Follow that same angle as you fill in the entire first section.
Fill in Second Wall Section
For the second wall section, the tape will be place in an upwards diagonal. Start the stripes in between the ends of the stripes in the first section. Starting slightly over the first pencil line, stick a tape stripe on the wall. Rip the tape off at the second vertical pencil line — these tape edges will be cleaned up later.
Continue with remaining wall sections, alternating upwards and downwards diagonal tape stripes.
Clean Up Edges and Enjoy
Clean up the edges of the tape along the pencil lines by cutting the tape vertically along the pencil line. Erase visible pencil lines.
Then, sit back and enjoy your new wall art!

The food pyramid is a diagram that illustrates a healthy diet by organizing foods into groups based on recommended serving sizes, according to the Santa Clara University Wellness Center. The pyramid is divided into tiers, and foods with the least nutritional value, such as sweets, are at the top. Foods that should make up the largest portion of daily calories, such as breads, are displayed on the wide bottom tier.Know More
A balanced daily diet includes six to 11 servings of grains and pasta; two to four servings of fruit; three to five servings of veggies; two to three servings of meat, legumes and fish; two to three servings of dairy products; and as few servings as possible of sweet or fatty foods, according to the SCU Wellness Center. The serving sizes reflect the essential nutrients each group offers. For example, the carbohydrates in grains provide glucose to fuel the body, and the meat and dairy groups are important protein sources.
The classic food pyramid was supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture until 2005, when it was re-envisioned as MyPyramid, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. The updated diagram organized the food groups horizontally across the pyramid using color-coded sections. MyPyramid didn't contain any descriptive text and was considered too abstract for the public to understand. In 2011, the USDA unveiled a new food guide known as the Healthy Eating Plate. The diagram is similar to a pie chart, providing a visual representation of how much fruit, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy products each meal should include.Learn more about Nutritional Amounts & Limits

A few people know that just a few meters from the Kremlin near the Sofia Embarkment and behind the pompous buildings of the Russian Oil Giant, is a privately owned house. The house belongs to a one Mr. Victor Anatolevich Rozanov. One of Moscow's central home owners and the direct neighbour of the Kremlin.
Victor, a Professor with the Institute named after Baumann, is a 73 year old man who has lived in this house with his family since birth. He currently lives there with his wife. He briefly talks about his home, the history that sorrounds it, its odds among other twists and turns.
Victor, cheerful in his early seventies looks even younger. He says he has spent a better half of his life fighting for his home. The first attempt to evict him took place 40 years ago leaving him with a strong will for securing his home from intruders. He proudly says, "My house is my Castle."
A view of the Kremlin from his roof. You can tell the time of the day by looking at the Tower of the Saviour.

Preston Community Center is greatReviewed on 11/13/2012 Jory C
I loved the Preston Community Center when I first saw it. It has a great cottage-like feel to it, all the tables and chairs are included in the rental. There is a warming kitchen and a great bridal room. There are lots of great places to take pictures around and there ample parking (though the overflow lot is across the street and the road is a little busy). The other thing is the building is pretty small, so it is best for smaller parties (I had between 60-70 guests and it was perfect.)
Quiet and Comfortable garden weddingReviewed on 7/18/2012 heather D
This was a great value for the money. In Washington, having tends and an indoor backup cant be beat! The staff was very nice, and the extra flowers on site really added to the space.
Great Character!Reviewed on 6/26/2012 Keely S
My husband and I both fell in love with Preston and the price when we were shopping for our wedding venue. Preston is a small, restored vintage building perfect for a small sized wedding. When talking to workers they say that it can fit up to 125 people, but I am not sure exactly how. We had closer to 75 people actually attend our wedding, and to hold everyone inside we could seat everyone for dinner, and then we had to remove tables to make room for the dance floor. People did end up moving outside to talk but it was a hassle to get everyone situated with the new layout. I loved it though!
Wonderful Summer WeddingReviewed on 4/10/2011 ashley a
Our friends got married there on a very HOT August day in 2010. We loved the venue but don't know how it would have been if the weather was rainy. Loved the setting for outdoor wedding. Not good for large weddings. Really great party under the stars!

A Wonderful Parable of Friendship
By SmittyBobTarheel
from Greensboro, NC
I recently viewed this on TCM and was thoroughly charmed. This is a perfect gift for Christmas or any time of the year. The movie begins around Christmas but then moves throughout the course of a year or so, so it's message of perseverance, friendship. sacrificial giving, honor and honesty is great viewing any time of year. Rupert's animation is a bit crude, but for 1950 no doubt it was "hi-tech." Besides, who couldn't fall in love with a Scottish kilt wearing squirrel named Rupert, doing a highland jig?!
