Mince ze vzdalenych zemi

Amatérsky sbírám mince, jsem v Chebu řidič autobusu-jsem hodně mezi lidma-semtam od někoho něco dostanu, ale je to hodně vzácně. Nemám známé co by cestovali po světě. Vždy,když dostanu minci co ještě nemám-udělá mi to radost. Proto Vás touto cestou chci poprosit-mohli by jste pro mě prosím získat mince z pro mě vzdálených zemí? Budete moc prosím mou sbírku obohatit? Uhradím co budu muset, je to pro mě jediná možnost jak něco získat. Předem děkuji za jakoukoliv odpověď. Václav Rybař.

Výzva k ocenění Václava Havla

Iniciativu za pojmenovani pražského letiste jmenem Vaclava Havla (obdobne, jak je letiste v N.Y. pojmenovano po J.F. Kennedym, nebo hlavni letiste v Parizi po Ch. de Gaullovi apod.), můžou, všichni podpořit tím, že se k němu přihlásíte na stránkách

www.letistevaclavahavla.cz

Čím nás bude více, tím intenzivněji můžeme působit na kompetentní orgány. Myslím, že současní politici nedokáží ani částečně naplnit jeho morální odkaz a tak by alespoň měli vyhovět této smysluplné a logické aktivitě.

Ze zkušenosti "sametove revoluce" vime, ze pokud se tato iniciativa rychle nezrealizuje, vse se zase zrelativizuje, zpochybní a zapomene.
Žel, závist, zloba, nenávist a česká malost přežije Václava Havla.

Zatímco hodnota různých pomníků nebo poslaneckých usneseni může být pochybna, tento konkrétni a realny krok by mel svoji skutecnou, ne jen formalni hodnotu, která by do budoucna zila i v našem beznem zivote a zivote pristich generaci, pricemz by také byla lakmusovym papirkem naší demokracie - při jejim ohrozeni by totiž prave jmeno Vaclava Havla bylo asi odstranovano jako prvni.

Proto vnímám právě pojmenování vstupní brány do naší země za důležitý krok, který zachová jeho odkaz v našem běžném životě a zároveň ukáže nám teď i pravou tvář všech politiků, kteří v této emotivní chvíli se k němu tak hlásí - ale za pár týdnů už možná budou zase kolem sebe jen plivat.

Dekuji za podporu
a zdravim

AN AU PAIR ODYSSEY

I am a local screenwriter and am seeking production in the Bay Area of AN AU PAIR ODYSSEY, an independent feature film that will feature actors with Czech and Slovak ancestry.

AN AU PAIR ODYSSEY is the story off three au pairs, one each from the Czech Republic and Slovakia as well as Poland, who meet and becomes friends in the US, experience the country and it's culture and have an interest in trying to understand "American males", as diverse as they are, for better or worse. It is a drama with action and humor and will be rated either G or PG. It is a full length feature film and has been read favorably by those with ancestry of the above mentioned countries and has good potential for release both in the US and internationally. I am a produced writer for the stage, e.g. NECKLACE, a musical, Google: Dale Porter, Necklace and have written four feature screenplays. There are many successful people in the movie industry from these countries- the challenge is in making contact with them.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Good wishes,

Dale Porter

Dobrý den,
jmenuji se Adele Bojanovská, s přítelem hodláme v červnu 2010 na 3 měsíce vyjet do San Francisca a potřebujeme nějaké zaměstnání, abychom v SF mohli normálně přežít. Všimla jsem si při hledání na internetu vašich www stránek a nabadlo by mě, jestli byste nám náhodou nějak nemohla s najitím práce pomoc. Osobně mluvím ještě německy (jsem rodilá rakušanka) a tím pádem jsem poslala pár dotazů i do rakouských a německých restaurací v SF. Myslíte si, že by se mohla najít io nějaká práce třeba v českých restauracích?
Moc děkuji za odpověď.
S pozdravem
Adele Bojanovská
