Teddy Is A Movie Star

 There is a little story behind, why Teddy, 2 months old Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie) got his first short movie.
Teddy is not a doggie-dog, who just like to play or to reap paper and stuff apart, running behind the ball, to be petted, eat and sleep, though he does it too once in  a while.
 Teddy likes to work and learn stuff, but not the way we want it as trainers, he gives the signs and lead us into the next trick he can do we need to pay attention to. He was born to be in acting and directing :)
In his 3 months old he knows basic things what any dogs should know and even more... it will be introduced in his next short movies (series).
For some reason doing a lot of tricks, Teddy with no way want to learn to "give a paw" with a command or (ask).
Teddy is a very stubborn boy, and it's not gonna work with him if you rase your voice in case if you teaching him how to behave, in other wise he will start doing bad things on purpose.
Very often he likes to sit on working table, though dogs are generally not allowed to be on tables...but because Teddy is smaller than a cat there is a space for him when he is getting curious what is going on.





Teddy is a Movie Star in his self-directed movies, so let see what Teddy want to say or to show next.

DUI


This is the story I have heard tonight from the lady I never saw before and maybe will never see again. I would love to share it with everyone, because one wrong step can mess your life.

The punishment for doing wrong things can come unexpectedly.

I will try to be an accurate in what I have heard, but can’t promise.

It has happened one night, after long day of having a party and watching football with her friends.

She was driving home through Hollywood, it was traffic as always on Subset Blvd and seems that nothing unusual was going on. The car affront of her was moving with a normal speed, and she was driving with a flow as well.

The green light changed into yellow and the car affront already pass the street light.
I can make it as well, the lady I am talking about, thought, but..... someone in a car she was behind pushed on the breaks, and not keeping enough distance the car of my hero collapses  into the car she had followed. The car accident has been occurred.

She almost jumped out from the car to see if any damages were done. The car she hit was ok, her car had a bit scratches and that’s it. 
In panic she called insurance company and tried to solve the problem with Canadian guests. I hate to hear about Canadians guests, because I also got into my first in 20 years car accident with Canadian “guest” as well, just in Vegas. It brought a lot of mess in my life too, but I sold my lucky Mercedes after that, having it for 6 years with not being stopped even once.

.... Cops arrived, they are always driving in Hollywood, and of course they went trough all the details, because it’s their job.

The first of all they asked if the girl was drinking, and she admitted that. The conversation was short after that.
She had the option as they said, to make it easy way, so it means to go to the station or to go to the hospital for a blood test. Like every normal human being she chooses to make it the “easy way”, which meant to go to the hospital for a blood test. Later on she assumed it was a wrong choice. After hospital she still was taken to the station.
The blood test cost her $ 2000.
The accident was in November, but the court in April. She pays for classes and need to do a community service in the close future for about 1,9 years. She stuck for about 3 years, for paying endless fees and being under control. She lost her freedom , that’s what she feels.

So my advice, don’t drink and drive.
It’s a good thing she wasn’t hurt herself or hurt anyone. 
Because of all this mess and frustration she is looses her place to live, all the money are sucked out, by doing stupid thing.

I feel sorry for her, because I lost everything abut 2 years ago, for different reasons though, but I think something is in coming - the wrong choice!

P.S. Spread this message to your friends if you care, so they know.

"The Garden" at Sherman Oaks

Me...like anybody else love a great food. Anywhere I go, I am trying to find the place I will be satisfied in finding healthy meals for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The new Restaurant / Cafe "The Garden" in the heart of Sherman Oaks can give you what you want, and bring a better taste in food to American people. 
I am personally sick and tired of places in L.A. who serve the same type of foods. 
Salads are not the salads - it's a rabbit dish, just to through a huge pieces of leaves, tomatoes and cucumbers on the plate. Every pizza taste the same. I am talking about affordable to anyone places.

Once, from many years I saw a native American cook, who is creative, in "The Garden" and he is teaching Mexicans cooks, who used to sloppy job, to make food to taste good and presentable.

This place doesn't remain me "Stanley's"on Ventura Blvd.... it's different...but I can compare those two with  a quality. I am a bad girl, and have stolen these pics from my lop top, but I would like to share with you the "taste of quality".

4351 Woodman Ave, Sherman Oaks, Ca 91423 (818) 788 - 3700.
Between Ventura Blvd & Moorpark.

I look forward to make a privet party/event in there and will see how it works.

What I tested:

The Chinese Chicken Salad - A +
3 Types of Pizza - A+      
Greek Salad - A+              
Chicken kebab - A            
Panini - A                         
Breakfast choice - A       
Coffee - A

Our Las Vegas. As a Russian to live in "sin city"

Interview: 


In Russia, Las Vegas is often associated with casinos and night to meetings. Unofficial world capital of gambling attracts annually about 40 million who want to have fun, to tickle nerves and plunge into the alluring world of big money. But what it is - to live permanently in the atmosphere of eternal holiday?



Yana, who lives in Las Vegas 10 years - a musician and producer - shares with readers 'Inostrannika' impressions of the city, tells how to find a job immediately and accommodation, and offers advice to those who decide to follow suit and move to live in the city of neon lights , gaming clubs and casinos. 



Tell us how it is - to live permanently in the center of entertainment? Do not get tired of the noise and fuss?

Las Vegas is indeed a city of entertainment and partying, this city never sleeps. Clean and beautiful, it attracts people from all over the world. Attracts all - of its casino and entertainment, bright lights and magical architecture, a variety of "bread and circuses" - food and entertainment for every taste and purse.
In the world there is nothing like Las Vegas, but to live here permanently - that's another story.
As in any civilized and popular city, Las Vegas, people have a normal life, though, the day can sometimes be confused with the night due to night mode, especially for the many employees of casinos and clubs, and this staff, and managers and musicians.
In areas where there are private houses, apartments or condos, much noise and bustle there, and people are measured way of life. 



Many of our compatriots found on the streets? Maybe in the Las Vegas area is inhabited by mostly Russian?

In Las Vegas, not so many Russians, though there are. For some reason, prefer to Russian immigrants in New York and Los Angeles. Separately, Russian regions in Vegas, I know not, but there are a couple of Russian shops where you can buy Russian food and remember Russia.

As you relax, where spend your free time? How often do local people go to casinos or is it mostly entertainment for the tourists?

Frankly, rest home, working on music, movies and music for films, but sometimes I like to go play on the "one-armed bandit" in the casino in hopes of winning a million. Even go to restaurants or cafes, and from time to time choose to see the show. Recently went to the " Blue Men Group ", it's very funny, unusually beautiful and interesting spectacle.
Many local residents also play in a casino, but mostly in remote from the center, because they are cheaper and more likely to get even a small gain.Unfortunately, many of the players - we call them "gamblers" - losing his fortune, home, car, because the thrust of the game turned into an obsession and became uncontrollable. 



What is the average cost of renting an apartment? What are the most expensive areas of the city, and which cost the most? The cost of utilities plus water, heating and electricity?

Rental prices vary greatly, but rent a house here is much cheaper than, for example, in California. One bedroom apartment or condo can be rented starting from 500-700 dollars a month. Double cost is in the 650-800 dollars. With three or four bedrooms will cost 800-1200-1400 dollars per month.A private house can be rented from $ 1000. All, of course, depends on the location and condition.
The most expensive areas in Las Vegas are the new high-rise buildings in the Vegas Strip or nearby. It is also highly prized real estate in the areas of Summerlin and Mountain Edge, which are 15-30 minutes by car from the center.
Utility costs for water is usually included in the rent. In the two-bedroom condo or apartment for electricity and gas bill can go about 200 dollars a month in private homes similar payments reach 300-400 per month, which is quite expensive.

Home prices in Las Vegas, higher or lower than other major cities in America?

Housing prices in Vegas are much cheaper than in other cities. In recent years, they are dropped in comparison with what was a few years ago. Now one-bedroom condo can be bought for 30-45 thousand dollars, three-bedroom townhouse with a 75-95 thousand (was 230-260 thousand), private house with 3-4 bedrooms for 100-150 thousand dollars (it was 280 - 450 000 .)

If a foreigner acquires the house, are there any benefits of citizenship?

Unfortunately, the acquisition of private property does not provide benefits for citizenship, but can contribute to obtain a multiple entry visa in the future «green card». About these issues should consult with an immigration attorney. 



What is the approximate cost of living in Las Vegas?

Cost of living in Las Vegas can not be called expensive, but it depends on personal needs.

Is it difficult to build a personal relationship with the Americans? Are there any features in the American private life, which are unusual for a Russian?

Americans - open and friendly people and build a personal relationship with them is not hard, knowing the language and taking their culture. Unusually all only when I first arrive in the country, and still do not know.
Americans - a calculating people, but more organized than the Russian. Many of the holidays they have dull, and it seems that each by itself, did not understand the Russian people, for which the familiar "walking, so to walk."
Here, many ruled by money, and the pace of life is very fast.

What kind of work can be found in Las Vegas, a foreigner? What is the average salary?

Now, when the country is going through hard times, it is almost impossible to find a job, not only foreigners but also local.
Average salaries in Las Vegas (for example, in the casino) 5-7 dollars an hour. But since a lot of tips, it all depends on the particular employee. In any case, everyone who works in Las Vegas, legally, must be licensed and no problems with the law, confirmed by the Police Department.

As in the situation with kindergartens, schools and institutions? Is there a specialized institution or classes for foreigners?

As in any civilized city, Las Vegas, many kindergartens and schools. University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) - one of the universities themselves famous in Vegas and they have special programs for foreigners. Classes for children of foreigners, too, have (with the English language) is also always possible to find private tutors in any subject.

What do you advise a Russian, who want to move to Las Vegas?

Come and buy apartments and homes in Las Vegas as cheap.
While Vegas is not very friendly to newcomers at first, do not be afraid, eventually you will become their own. The climate here is a little unusual: it is very hot in summer (almost impossible for a long time to be on the street) and very cold in winter. But after a couple of years, you can adapt. If you like fun, then this city will suit you best. There are not many states and cities in America where you can hang out, take a walk at any time, day or night. Almost everything is open 24 hours a day. As elsewhere in America, in Las Vegas, a lot of opportunities to record and maintain their own business. But Nevada, where Las Vegas is located, in this respect - one of the best staff.
The most important advice for anyone who is going to move to Las Vegas - is to control gambling. Casinos can leave you "without pants." Have fun, but do not forget that Las Vegas - it's "Sin City".
