The blog for places to go to and places to know about. Hobbit Museum in Switzerland. Tolkien fans might think they have to fly out to New Zealand to see the Shire. They are wrong. In October 2013, a Hobbit Museum opened its doors in Switzerland. Geographically in the tourist region called Heidiland, the region is an ideal holiday destination for families with children. For the parents, there are excellent local wines to test which the Swiss usually keep to themselves. Links zu diesem Post. Like a time ca...

The blog for places to go to and places to know about. Cleopatra's Needle on the Embankment. One of the things you do when in London is walking along the Thames. That will inevitably bring you to the Victoria Embankment where Cleopatras Needle is standing tall. The needle is an obelisk, and it has absolutely nothing to do with Cleopatra. Otherwise the name is apt. Links zu diesem Post. Yemen: The Way Into Today's Mess. Links zu diesem Post. Slow Travel: Walking From Somerset to India. Links zu diesem Post.

http://celebritysavvy.blogspot.com/2014/03/arthur-miller-biography-of.html
Celebrities past and present, from real life and famous from fiction. Arthur Miller: Biography Dilemma. Paul Newman and Arthur Miller. Christopher Bigsby's decision to end the first part of the biography in 1962 lets him off at least one major hook: To defend the play After The Fall of 1964, where Arthur Miller tried to cash in on Marilyn Monroe’s suicide. What about the son with Down’s syndrome who was shunted off to an institution and then forgotten? Wives and children played second fiddle to Arthur Mi...

Celebrities past and present, from real life and famous from fiction. Rudolf Steiner’s Approach to Financial Politics. Rudolf Steiner was the founder of the Anthroposophical Society. He died in 1925. He left us, incongruously for a ‘religious leader’ of a sect or cult, an interesting treatise on monetary politics. Written years before the Great Depression, it shows an eerie actuality in view of the present crisis. Links zu diesem Post. Stanislas Wawrinka Starts 2014 With Chennai Win. Links zu diesem Post.
