Psi a obrazy / Dogs and pics

Let's start with something les serious: these pictures of "people flying" are not something I would appreciate to enjoy in my living room nevertheless the concept is quite nice.

But what you can see below is one of pictures of Robert Vano - a Czech photographer whom you can see now in every magazine or newspapers. Because of his exhibition in Prague (review).

Robert Vano, Swiming pool, Marocco 1973 (vystava, exhibition)

Denni porce bulvaru, tj. Blesk, se blejsknul clankem o sedmi psich plemenech vyslechtenych na uzemi Ceske republiky (Ceskoslovenska). Dva tri bych z hlavy dohromady dal, schvalne se vyzkousejte? Spravne odpovedi, aspon podle clanku, najdete na konci tohohle prispevku.

Obsese vystavni neustava (aspon v teoretike rovine, uz dva tydny jsem nikde nebyl). Autor byl na Hrade odhalen (to je historie do romanu ci do filmu), nyni se tedy nejspise vypravit za rabim Lovem.

Here is a list of breeds of dogs which origin is in the Czech Republic or Czechoslovakia. I didn't know more than two or three of them.

Cesky terier, ceskoslovensky vlcak (toho bych chtel - ale asi by to neskoncilo dobre), cesky horsky pes (slyseli jste o nem nekdy?), cesky strakaty pes (dtto), cesky fousek (toho bych taky bral), prazsky krysarik (co s takovym psem?) a konecne chodsky pes.

Pure metahpysique

Sometimes the will or internal pressure to write something is enormous (is it like sex?). But - somehow you cannot (no, it is not like sex).

One of Czech journalists twittered about his experience from a small hospital noting that this is quite a likely place of death of most of us. From that point of view he would appreciate a more beautiful place. He would appreciate a ball and a flower.

Fortunately I saw a really beautiful squirrel this morning. Moments like this makes the world a little bit more meaningful.

Nekdy je chut neco napsat hodne velka (neco jako sex?). Ale nejde to (ne, neni to jako sex).

A Petr Koubsky trefne a lehce desive napsal na Twitter: "Okresni nemocnice. Nejpravdepobnejsi misto smrti mnoha z nas. Z tohoto zorneho uhlu - mohli by to tu mit hezci. Chtel bych mic a kytku."

Jeste ze jsem rano videl v Ladvi krasnou veverku. Svet je pak smysluplnejsi.

Minuly tyden jsem dal dohromady kratky "summary" zajimavych clanku z internetu - a zaclo me to nejak bavit. Tak uvidime, jak se to bude dale vyvijet.

Diky Vildovi za upozorneni - v Praze vznikla nova naucna stezka ("Z tabulí se dozví nejen historii konkrétních míst, ale také například to, že jedna ze zastávek na Střížkově nese název po archivářce dopravního podniku, která pečovala o řidiče autobusů - ti se pak zasadili o to, aby zastávka nesla její jméno." Vice na strankach Prahy 9.). Zapadlo to do meho zajmu o mesto - uz delsi dobu si slibuji, ze se pokusim ryze amatersky zdokumentovat jakasi "uzemi nikoho" v Praze: mista naletu, opustenych tovarnicek a dilen, to vse v rozpadle strukture budov. Staci se projet kolem LOMu v Malesicich, podivat se k teplarne v Holesovicich nebo se kouknout k Bubnum. Mimochodem, Vilda stezku uz prosel a pekne nafotil.

Kdyz jsme u urbanismu a architektury, budova byvale restaurace EXPO je take hodna pozoru. Skoda jen, ze nakonec z ni jsou kancelare (samozrejme je to furt lepsi, nez kdyby budova spadla). Nic proti nim, ale restaurace by byla lepsi. Clanek podrobne shrnuje historii budovy (vcetne jednoho z duvoud, proc budova tak rychle podlehla zkaze - pocitalo se s ni jen na vystavu, takze pouzite materialy trvanlivost potrebnou pro dlouhodobe uzivani, nedej boze neuzivani).

EXPO 57 (idnes.cz)

Nemate nekdo cestu do Pacova? Nechal bys si privez neco tech vytecnych klobas, abych sam okusil :-). Pripomina mi to spolecny udiv s Kubou nad tim, ze se divime tomu, ze je v jednech klobasach docela dost masa. Takhle nejak asi zacal upadek Rima, myslim...

Jine pravo je dobrou cetbou - koneckoncu myslim, ze je to jeden z nejcitovanejsich blogu v novinach. Diky nemu jsem se dostal i k rozhovoru s Vojtechem Simickem o komunistickem pravu. Dalsi kniha, kterou by stalo za to si precist (o hromade jinych knih, ktere se povaluji kolem postele prikryta casopisy taktez k precteni, pomlcim).

A aby tech tizivych veci nebylo uplne malo, rozhodne stoji za to si precist zjisteni o vegetativnim stavu - pro premysleni o eutanazii to rozhodne neni spatne (puvodni clanek).

A na zaver neco o vymirani Evropy. Neumim posoudit, nakolik je to pravdive, ale nezni to uplne pritazene za vlasy.


I am rather not one of those who forward more or less funny jokes circulating through Internet. But - this one is simply worth publishing. Not only because it is funny but also because it is often pretty true.

For those of us who have children in our lives, no matter if they are our own, grand-children nieces, nephews or students . Here is something that makes us all laugh.

When your kids are out of control, comfort yourself with the thought that even God's abilities as a parent didn't suffice for his own children. Having created the heaven and the earth, God created Adam and Eve and his first words to them was: "Don't do that!"
"Don't do what?" asked Adam.
"Don't eat of the forbidden fruit" God answered.
"Forbidden fruit? Do we have forbidden fruit? Hey Eve, we have forbidden fruit!!!!"
"No we don't!"
"Yes we do!"
"DON'T eat of the fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I'm your father and because I say so!" said God, while he wondered why he didn't stop the Creation after the elephants. Some time later, God saw his children eating of the apples and he was furious:
"Didn't I tell you NOT to eat of the fruit?" he said.
"Uh huh," Adam answered.
"So why did you do it?" asked God.
"I don't know," said Eve.
"SHE started!" Adam said.
"NO I didn't!"
"YES you did!"
"NO I DIDN'T!"
God had had enough and his punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. That's the way it was and it hasn't been changed ever since.
But, there is comfort to find in this!
If you persistently and lovingly have tried to inspire wisdom into your children and they haven't learned, don't be too hard on yourself.
If God had problems raising his children, what makes you think that it would be easy to you? Here is a little something to think about: 1. You spent the first 2 years of the life of the children to teach them to walk and talk. After that you spent the next 16 year to ask them to sit down and shut up! 2. Grand-children are God's reward for not killing your own children.
3. Teenage-mothers know now why some animals eat their own younglings.
4. Children rarely cite you wrong when they repeat what you've once said. In fact they repeat precisely all the things you shouldn't have said.
5. The main reason why you have kid's birthdays is to remind you that there are children that are more appalling you're your own.
6. We baby proof our homes, but they still get in.
Today's advice: Be gentile to our children – they will one day find you a home!!
And finally…If you have stress in all of your body and headache, do as written on the glass of your pills: Take 2 and keep yourself insusceptible to children.
