Дорогие Москвичи и гости столицы.

For all Moscowites (present and former) all over the world and guests of the capital. Small excourse in a Moscow History of XX century, small animation of Moscow expansion and its territorial subdivision during that time. Here you can find Pervomaysky ( Первомайский Район ) and Sakolnechesky ( Сокольнический Район ) districts were I was born and spend most of my Youth.

Double-Click on the picture to see animation.

Aaron and his shopping experience.

Recently Aarosha went to the Treader Joe's to get something Вкусненькое for his mama and papa. Aaron is a nice boy who cares about his family, so they will have something tasty on their diner table.

Here is a picture of Aaron doing shopping for his family.

Another Oops by Norwegian Nobel Committee

Before saying whatever I want to say, I want to mention that I am not a Republican and in all presidential elections except the last one (starting 1996) I voted for Democratic ticket.

Ether I or whole world is going crazy. I could not hold it anymore. I thought, winning the presidency of the biggest power in a world was enough, but Nobel Prize only after 8 month of presidency it’s TOO MUCH. I tried to think what extraordinary deed he accomplished recently, except being only completely unknown person to win presidency of United States. If I was in his shoes, I would be extremely honored and politely decline the prize ‘til the time I would do something worth while to belong to such exclusive club.
For right now I only can say:

Another Oops by Norwegian Nobel Committee, don’t you think Arafat was enough.

And the prize goes to... Israel.

This is a time of the year, than Nobel prices are giving out by Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. I am happy to announce that this year academy price would go to Israel. Today Ada Yonath received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, together with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas A. Steitz, for her studies on the structure and function of the ribosome.

I would like to post a map of distribution of Nobel price winners through out the world. Looks like Boston, San Francisco, Washington and London left others far behind. Israel look like an island in the middle east/ Asia area. Chicago is doing well to, probably due to School of Economics in University of Chicago.

Enjoy the map!!!! Have not posted them in a while.

Beau Jest - Chicago-Jewish romantic comedy

Beau Jest – is a nice romantic comedy about the need for adult children to be true to their own feelings and goals vs. their desire to please their parents. The movie has a huge dose of Jewish and Chicago flavor, so it could easily branded as Chicago-Jewish romantic comedy. As a conclusion I don’t think it is a surprise that it shown only in one movie theater around the country – Wilmette Theatre (which located in a heavily Jewish North/North West suburbs of Chicago). So if you like Jewish Humor with a Chicago flavor – you are in for a treat, Beau Jest is right up your alley.

The plot of the movie is relatively simple:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Sarah Goldman, a lovely young school teacher in Chicago, wants to please her parents, she invents a boyfriend whom she believes will be the man of her mother's dreams. When her parents insist on meeting the man, Sarah hires Bob, an actor, to pretend to be her "beau". The masquerade works flawlessly for a time and brings comic situations, but in the end, their lives are irrevocably changed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEAU JEST is the hilarious, heartwarming story about Sarah Goldman, a beautiful young school teacher from Chicago who is involved with Chris, a great guy with just one apparent flaw, he's not Jewish. Sarah tells her parents that she is no longer seeing Chris, but continues to date him in secret.To keep her mother from trying to fix her up with "nice Jewish boys," Sarah invents the perfect boyfriend and regales her parents with stories of the man of her mother’s dreams. Eventually they insist on meeting the man, and in desperation, Sarah hires Bob, an actor, to play the part of her new beau. Unaware of the scope of the role he has taken on, Bob accompanies Sarah to dinner with her parents and her brother Joel. He quickly realizes that what he has gotten himself into is much more than he bargained for. It will take all of his charm, wit and improvisational skills to pull off the charade. But Bob rises to the occasion, and the antics that follow is only the beginning of a side-splitting tale that will have you rolling in the aisles, and wiping tears from your eyes at the same time. BEAU JEST stars Lainie Kazan, Robyn Cohen, Tony Daly, Willie Garson,Greg Cromer and Seymour Cassel.
