Nice idea with Language lessons, hoe to start this group?
As to the ROMLEX - I would not recommend to make use of it. It's rather for professional linguists and has not a bit of discrepancies.

Love this list. May we add "Writers"--including you, Els, of course.

Wish you all a nice evening and a good night - lachi rat

oh dear gods. Check this out:  http://www.ontheredcarpet.com/Leonard-Nimoy-turns-80--plans-party-w...

 

Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed Spock in the original "Star Trek" series, turned 80 on Saturday and received birthday wishes from NASA and former co-star George Takei on Twitter.

Nimoy, whose career has spanned for 50-years, recently guest-starred on "Fringe" and regularly appears at conventions and events. Nimoy will be celebrating his big day with a birthday party full of "gypsies and vagabonds," according to a recent Tweet.

"I told my Dad I'm going to be an actor," Nimoy wrote on Twitter. "He said I'd be palling with gypsies and vagabonds. They'll all be at my party this weekend."

Nimoy's father owned a barbershop in Boston and one of the most popular haircuts offered was the "Spock cut," in honor of his son's iconic role.

Nimoy has revisited his "Star Trek" character in several movies, including the most recent 2009 re-make. The actor has also written, directed and produced several projects. The actor also recorded an album "Spaced Out" with his "Star Trek" co-star and friend William Shatner. In a recent interview, Nimoy talked to the "Star Trek" fan site about why he keeps doing appearances, when most actors would have retired and he said it was a "thank you" to his fans.

"That's exactly what it is, a thank you," Nimoy told TrekToday.com of his public appearances. "I still feel an obligation to be out there for them, to tell them the 'Star Trek' stories and to bring them up to date on what I'm doing. There's still a lot of interest. I don't know when I will stop doing this. I think there is an end in sight. I will not going on doing it indefinitely, but I am scheduled for three or four events for this year."

Nimoy received a 'Happy Birthday' greeting from NASA on Twitter on Saturday morning.

"Earlier this week it was @WilliamShatner's birthday," NASA wrote. "Let's give the bridge equal billing and wish happy birthday to @TheRealNimoy LLAP!"

Earlier in the month, Shatner recorded a wake-up call for crew members of the space shuttle Discover as the astronauts returned to Earth.

On Monday, March 7, the crew undocked from the International Space Station for the last time and the theme song of the original 1960s "Star Trek" series was played for them. However, instead of the regular monologue that is heard at the end of it, a recorded message of Shatner spoofing the famous words of his character, Captain James T. Kirk, was played instead.

Dear all,

as i told to Els already, i really like the idea of selling things of us all - as ind of fundraising. We would just need some special software for that and i am really not expert on this. I am not sure if te system of this webpage allow such a thing. But we can try.

 

My suggestion was, what i wrote to Els, to start with some kind of auction in Rome, where we could sell the things live and we could promote the internet shopping as well. Till that time the online shopping has to be ready. But such an event as a auction in Rome would help.

i think the auction in rome is a stupendous idea! also, paul hitter from romania is not on the list of painters - is it because he;s not going to be in rome? re: press pack, ill give it a careful reading and get back to you all. sorry ive been out of the loop for a few days, looks like you guys have been buzzing and busy, wow!

Els, 

I do not know much about publishing in Europe, but here in the U.S. publishers often give writers free copies that they may donate to nonprofit groups for sales. Many small presses will even donate copies directly. And, of course, sometimes bookstores will donate a portion of proceeds from a readings' sales for a nonprofit.

 

Both my poetry chapbooks can be donated. They are small and not terribly consequential, but they are now under my control.

 

Also, writers can be involved in benefits where people are invited for readings and perhaps some food for a fee. We have done those fairly often. Just did one this weekend, as a matter of fact.

 

I am editing an anthology by women writers about conflicts, which I believe will include some Roma writers. When it is done next fall, we will see what we can do with that.

 

Of course, one dream I might have is to publish a collection of essays by Roma writers about our what is happening, our status and experiences. That would be a very useful thing to do. 

 

So I think we writers and editors can find ways to contribute. I will post a bio on my page and hope others will do the same so we can know more about each other.

Lukas,

 

Internet shopping, yes, for those of us who cannot make it to Rome!

About posting biographies on our pages: I know we don't like to self-promote, but it is necessary for us to know more about each other. I am certainly happy to be meeting all of you and learning about those I don't know.
