The poll that was conducted in late February 2012 by "Századvég" shows that the trend in political activity stopped declining in recent months. The trend indicates that party support on both the government and the opposition sides stabilized. The governing parties continue to keep their leading position among both decided and undecided voters.
At the end of February 49 percent of the voting age population said that they definitely would participate in a parliamentary election to be held this Sunday. The rate of uncertain voters also declined in February, currently 36 percent of respondents belong to this group.
In late February the relative strengths of the parties do not show major change. The Fidesz-KDNP coalition support in the total population is 27 percent, the socialists has 15 percent support, the patriotic Jobbik party has 11 percent and the extremist liberal party LMP has 6 percent support. The Gyurcsany led Democratic Coalition is supported by 2 percent of the population.
Among decided voters, Fidesz support is 45 percent followed by the socialists with 24 percent, Jobbik 19 percent, LMP 7 percent and the Gyurcsany led Democratic Coalition 3 percent support.

Three socialist traitors have been designated as undesirables by the municipality of Szigethalom
Read more!
By supporting Jobbik's proposal, "Szigethalom" municipal council declared three socialist traitors – MEP Kinga Goncz, MEP Csaba Tabajdi and EU Commissioner László Andor – as undesirable persons on February 23, 2012 forbidding all three individuals to enter the municipality.
Szigethalom representative body voted 8 in favor and 2 against the motion.
Although no such legal category exists in Hungarian law (yet), we felt it was our duty to make this symbolic gesture. We encourage all Jobbik led municipal bodies to follow the example of Szigethalom municipal council and declare the traitors undesirable in their municipalities says the statement issued by Jobbik's Szigethalom branch.

On horseback to Kazakhstan and Iran
Read more!
A three member Hungarian equestrian team plans to complete a near seven thousand kilometers trek to Kazakhstan and Iran in search of the cousins of Hungarians.
Three members of the Eurasian Foundation -- István Bencze, Farkas Chemez and Sándor Béres -- depart on Friday through Romania, Ukraine, Georgia and Azerbaijan to complete the journey sometime in July in Astana, Kazakhstan. From Astana the team flies to Tehran, and continues advancing for another five weeks to Shirazi.
The route is planned to pass through Scythian, Hun, Hungarian and Cuman migration territories, often following the direction of the Silk Road said István Bencze the leader of the expedition. One of the goals of the historical tour is to draw attention to the common cultural heritage of Hungarians, Huns, ancient Scythians and other Kipchak people, and to strengthen Hungary's cultural ties with Eurasia.
Besides the search of common roots the other goal of the expedition is to heighten people's awareness about their common cultural heritage.
The team is going to document its journey and post the most interesting episodes of the trip on its website including the historical, cultural and natural treasures of the land they are visiting. During the trip, team members wear traditional clothing from various Scythian, Hun and Hungarian periods.
The horseback riders crossing Romania with their own horses but because of the difficulty of taking animals from one country to another, the rest of the journey will be accomplished by horses supplied by the host nations.
The team schedules close to sixty information sessions in various villages and towns across Central Asia to introduce Hungarian history and culture to the inhabitants of the land.
The sponsors of the expedition include the vice-speaker of the National Assembly, Sándor Lezsák, State Secretary of the Prime Minister, Mihály Varga and the Minister of Rural Development and the president of "Kunszövetség", Sándor Fazekas.
Svetlana Kalinovskaja will accompany the expedition by car and László Sípos, the head of the "Rovas" Foundation will join the team during the Kazakh leg of the trip.

Katalin Kovács' leap year surprise birthday partyTuesday, February 28, 2012
Read more!
The Olympic and world champion kayaker was born on February 29 1976, and due to this unique circumstance, she celebrates her birthday every four years.
Before leaving for a training camp in Turkey on Tuesday, her friends taken the opportunity and threw a party at her. She has received a delicious chocolate cake with the number nine on the top indicating that she was only nine years old according to leap year calculations.
The cake with the number nine was a good joke on the part of my friends, but of course, I'm much older than that despite the fact that I have celebrated my real birthday only nine times in my life said the 31 time world championship kayaker.
I was a little bit disturbed as a child because of the rarity of my birthday, but as an adult I see the good part of it, as some of my friends greet me on February 28, others on March 1, so I get birthday greetings for two whole days.
Tuesday, Kovács flew to Antalya, Turkey where the weather wasn't that kind to her -- despite the warm weather rain was coming down all day long so she had to stay in the gym for the entire day.

Assassination attempt on Putin avertedMonday, February 27, 2012
Read more!
Russian and Ukrainian security services have averted a plot to assassinate Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and carry out a series of attacks throughout Russia. Two suspects, who have been on an international wanted list, were detained in the Ukrainian port of Odessa about a month ago. The detainees testified that the assassination attempt on Putin was to happen shortly after the March 4 presidential vote.
A report on plotted attacks was aired on Russia's state-owned Channel One TV. Ukrainian security services and Mr. Putin`s press service confirmed that the report was correct. Two suspects, Ilya Pyanzin and Ruslan Madayev, said they had arrived in Odessa from the United Arab Emirates. Pyanzin said that they had been hired by Chechen militant leader Doku Umarov.
"We were told to first travel to Odessa to learn how to make bombs and later go to Moscow to carry out attacks on economically vital objects before assassinating Putin. When we arrived in Odessa, Ruslan was told a telephone number of a man who was supposed to meet us here."
When the suspects were learning how to make bombs, Ruslan Madayev died in an accidental explosion. Ukrainian 'fixer' escaped before a fire brigade arrived at the scene. Pyanzin was hospitalized with burns. He later admitted that there was also a third plotter, Adam Osmayev. He was detained on February 4, but Ukrainian security services have been keeping his arrest a secret until now. Details of the plot were found on Osmayev`s laptop, a source in the Ukrainian security services said.
"There were videos showing motorcades carrying different officials, including Putin. The suspects thus had an opportunity to study thoroughly the way an official is guarded."
Osmayev said that most attacks were supposed to be carried out using remote controlled explosives, and also a suicide bomber. The suspect said that the whole operation had entered its final stage.
"There are certain types of land mines which can be used in such attacks, not necessarily a suicide bomber. I would not become a suicide bomber. But Madayev said he was ready to blow himself up. A deadline for the assassination was set for the first days after the March 4 presidential vote."
Osmayev was said to be collaborative during an investigation. He admitted that part of the explosives had been delivered to Moscow, and one of the attacks was supposed to take place on Kutuzovsky Avenue, used by Russian president and prime minister on a daily basis.
No further details will be disclosed while the investigation is under way. Nevertheless, Ukrainian and Russian security services have obviously done a good job by averting the assassination plot and making the suspects testify.
It was also reported that another assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin was foiled during his presidency: four Chechens were supposed to attack him during the CIS summit in Yalta in August of 2000. In all, more than 10 assassination plots against Putin, most of them fake, were reported during his two presidential terms.

Flemish MEP Claeys defends Hungary in EU-parliamentSunday, February 26, 2012
Read more!
Mr. prime minister (after Orban Viktor has spoken),
The Hungarian voters have given you a 2/3 majority in your national parliament and this to great disapproval of the left-wing politicians whom are now trying to win the political debate in Hungary through the EU-parliament. Your people has fought bravely against communist oppression to come to the conclusion now that the Brezhnev-doctrine still lives on under the form of EU-meddling against member states who are willing to use their sovereignty to work out a national policy.
Many interventions in the debates here today were not only hysterical but also hypocritical. What to think of liberal fraction leader, Mr. Verhofstadt, who lectures you about democratic rights, while under his government, when he was Belgium's prime minister, the biggest Flemish party Vlaams Blok was outlawed, purely due to the political views they defended. Nowhere else in the EU has something like that happened! And no one in the EU- parliament or EU-commission saw any problems with it! In other words, this is the same old story of the use of double standards by the left side which weighs so heavily on the credibility of this EU- parliament.
I thank you.

"Now that Viktor Orbán and his government want to lift the country, satanic forces closed ranks; but because they are weak to regain power alone, they called upon the help of the West and the global financial elite that want to swallow us up".

Mária Wittner was sentenced to death in 1956, but her conviction was later commuted to life imprisonment. She was the special guest of the Victims of Communism Memorial Day ceremony in Somogy county.

Improving bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and HungarySaturday, February 25, 2012
Read more!
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate - the G20 meeting began this morning in Riyadh with this prayer then quotes have been read out from the Koran. The speakers of parliaments of the world's leading economies started a two-day meeting in the Saudi capital of Riyadh that attended by László Kövér the speaker of the Hungarian parliament at the invitation of the chairman of the Shura Council, Dr. Abdullah Bin Mohammed Bin Ibrahim Al-Sheikh.
Kövér was greeted at the Riyadh airport yesterday by Dr. Abdullah Bin Mohammed Bin Ibrahim Al-Sheikh personally and as a result the first bilateral meeting between Saudi officials and the Hungarian delegation have taken place. The Sura Council leader expressed his appreciation of Hungary's efforts to retain its own traditions and strengthen the country's moral standards, which are very important issues for both countries. Kövér pointed out that tradition and modernity are not mutually exclusive concepts; he believes that the primary cause of the current financial and economic crisis can be tracked down in the erosion of moral values.
In a speech at the G-20 meeting "Cultural Dialogue in the World" panel discussion this morning, Kövér pointed out that "Young people respond the fastest to contemporary political, social and economic challenges; if we can't set meaningful goals before them, if they can't find valuable social space in their environment, then they become dissatisfied and leave their communities.".
During the day, Kövér held bilateral talks with the Speaker of the Parliament of Turkey Cemil Çiçek and the Speaker of the Canadian Senate, Noel A. Kinsella. During the meeting, the head of the Canadian Senate raised the issue of Hungarian gypsies mass emigration to Canada. Kövér made it clear that the Roma are not persecuted in Hungary and the government set up a state secretariat to settle the issue and by the end of this term two hundred billion forints will be spent to improve the living and working conditions of disadvantaged people.

Hungary commemorates the victims of communism
Read more!
Hungarians across the country are remembering the victims of communism on February 25 that the parliament adopted as the official day of remembrance. In less than 100 years, communism has claimed more than 100 million lives worldwide.
The official ceremony is held on February 25 at the House of Terror Museum on Andrássy street starting at 10 am. Organizers are inviting all Hungarians to come to the commemoration service and light a candle in memory of the victims of communism.
There will commemoration services in most major cities across the country starting Friday.
On Friday, February 24, Jobbik unveiled a memorial monument at the corner of "József" boulevard and "Krúdy Gyula" street in the eight district.
The ceremony has been attended by about 500 hundred people who lit candles and placed flowers at the monument as a show of tribute to the victims of communism.
The commemoration service attended by the leaders of Jobbik including Gábor Vona, Levente Murányi and György Szilágyi.
In a speech, György Szilágyi made it clear that there won't be any reconciliation with those who are the moral, intellectual and ideological descendants of the sick Bolshevik monsters who beat to death hundreds of innocent people in the "Recsk" concentration camp during the darkest days of communism. He added that Jobbik will never cooperate with treasonous politicians who are doing their best to drive a wedge between Hungarians for electoral benefits.
Jobbik vice-president and the hero of the 1956 revolution, Levente Murányi said communism had existed before fascism and Nazism and, unfortunately, survived them. The communist ideology spread to the four corners of the world and claimed at least one hundred million lives worldwide. Murányi then added that in the place where he was standing, in 1956 a Soviet tank was firing at the revolutionaries until rebels took tank out.
The communist ideology reared it ugly head in Hungary at the beginning of the twentieth century, but then the leaders of the time didn't take it seriously. In 1908, the Galileo Circle was founded by free-thinkers, which had only one ethnic Hungarian member, Mihály Karolyi. In 1919, Karolyi helped Béla Kun and his ilks into power who in turn unleashed a murderous rampage that lasted 133 days.
The Bolshevik vampires returned again in 1944, in the incarnations of "Rákosi", "Gerő" and "Farkas", just mentioning the worst scoundrels, as "liberators". This was the time of expulsions and deportations; later the AVO (a bunch of sadists served under the interior ministry, a true terrorist organization) in a much more organized fashion, under the treacherous Janos Kadar, continued terrorizing Hungarians. In 1956, the country rebelled against the Bolshevik butchers and on October 23 the communists were driven from power. Freedom lasted only a short time as the Soviet Army invaded the country once again on November 4 and the Bolsheviks returned to power. But by then the Soviet empire got a wound that ultimately led to its demise concluded his speech Levente Murányi.
After the speech, Levente Murányi and Gábor Vona jointly unveiled the memorial, the work of wood carver István Balázs from Kárpátalja.

PM Orbán in Frankfurt: "I am pleased to report that I've reached the other side of the river"Friday, February 24, 2012
Read more!
Europe's most comprehensive political reform has been implemented in Hungary since the 2010 national election said PM Orbán in a speech he has delivered in the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry headquarters in Frankfurt.
Hungary is stable, the national debt is decreasing and the budget is under control. The PM confirmed that the government will keep the deficit below the 3 percent level in 2013.
The prime minister remarked that after winning the national election in 2010, he foresaw all the international attacks that have been happening right now; there is one thing that he didn't anticipate, the deepening European economic crisis. "I would have never thought that the European bureaucrats so clumsily mishandling the economic crisis as they are doing it right now". In Orbán's opinion, the international attacks on Hungary tells a lot about the continent and show the weak points of Europe's political and economic structure.
Responding to a question about the European criticism of Hungary the prime minister said: the current mainstream opinion in Europe holds that concepts like religion, family and nation are the things of the past. But he does not agree with this assessment; he considers religious beliefs, family and patriotism as respectable values of the future. He said it would be nice if Europeans recognize that the international attacks against Hungary is their issue as well.
"For those who are running on thin ice, the speed is the security. Running on thin ice, I am pleased to report that I've reached the other side of the river"- said the prime minister about the speed of changes taking place in Hungary. Then, he added Hungary needs two things: a financial safety net and productive investments.
During his speech, members of a German globalist fringe party demonstrated in front of the Chamber of Commerce building expressing their opposition to the Orbán cabinet policies especially to the imaginary anti-Roma policies of the Fidesz government.
Hungarians in Germany wanted to stage a sympathy demonstration during Orbán's speech, but German police rejected their application. Hungarians who were at the Chamber of Commerce building said that they supported the Orbán government all the way and found the attacks on Hungary particularly repulsive.
Regarding the globalist demonstration, the prime minister remarked in a somewhat ironic fashion that it is rare that one has been greeted by music (the globalists started singing the communist anthem on his arrival to the Chamber of Commerce building). "I thought, what a great thing when history entertains us: I, who is an anti-communist and got into politics because I fought for freedom had to come to Germany to see communists demonstrating against me".

Jobbik called upon peace march organizers to support the EU membership referendum
Read more!
Jobbik agrees with peace march organizers' statement that under the current conditions, we have to start thinking about our withdrawal from the European Union. The European Commission yesterday's decision showed black and white how much rights our country will have in the European Union, when it adopts the new financial pact. The last month, hundreds of thousands of peace marchers gathered in Budapest under the slogan "We will not be a colony!", but now the EU wants to make us a colony says Márton Gyöngyösi's statement.
We ask peace march organizers to support Jobbik's initiative on our membership in the EU as the population didn't receive relevant information about the consequences of our membership in 2003; since then, the situation has been deteriorated to the point where Hungary has been assigned a colonial status and the country has become a captive nation.
It is clear that Hungarian national interests, both economically and morally, are increasingly distant from that of the "United States of Europe" that gradually eliminates all forms of national self-determination.
It appears that peace march organizers have already raised those questions that Jobbik has long been treated as evidence: how long the European Union can sanction and oppress Hungarians without impunity, and how long our country will subject itself to the morally and economically disintegrating European Union?
The only credible solution would be if society as a whole could decide on this serious and fateful issue. The peace march has shown the power of civil society, so we ask them not to stop half way. Let the people decide: the question is "are we remaining members or break free?" concluded his statement the deputy leader of Jobbik, Márton Gyöngyösi.

German Political Science Professor Dr. Klaus Hornung stands in solidarity with the Orbán GovernmentThursday, February 23, 2012
Read more!
The memory goes back to those days of November 1956, when Carl Gustaf Ströhm, our friend who died in 2004, then working as a young reporter in Hungary, reported on a daily basis on the phone to our group in Tübingen, about the Soviet invasion of Hungary.
Hungary at that time used to be the vanguard in the fight against the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe, which was followed later by the Poles and Czechs. In 1989 it was again Hungary that made the first cut through the barbed wire of the Iron Curtain - as an overture of the coming fall of the Soviet system.
Even now it is again the majority of this proud nation that rebel against the pretensions of Brussels hierarchy, controlled by financial interest groups who want to impose their liberal-left "anti-fascist" ideas of democracy as the only valid and binding system. (…)
The Orban government represents the traditions of its country, which are also the best traditions of Europe. The government's non-traditional way of conducting business conflicts with the prevailing Eu's ideas that blind the rulers of Brussels: Reason enough to send our solidarity to the people of the Crown of St. Stephen, in regard of the common European history and the memories of 1956 and 1989 ".

Zsolt Falvai who prosecuted Sándor Képiró has been demoted
Read more!
Chief Justice Péter Polt dismissed Zsolt Falvai as the head of Budapest Prosecutor's Office without giving any reason for his dismissal. Falvai was the prosecutor in the Képiró trial accusing the 97 year old Képiró with crimes against humanity. The court cleared the accused of all charges, but due to years of harassment the elderly man's health deteriorated to the point that soon after his acquittal he passed away.
Falvai brought charges against Képiró without questioning the "evidence" supplied by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem that accused Képiró of committing crimes against Jews in 1942 as the captain of the gendarmerie.
Meanwhile, it turned out that there was a very cozy relationship between the prosecutor and the head of the Wiesenthal Center (Képiró's lawyer remarked several times during the trial that the head of the Wiesenthal Center, Efraim Zuroff being a regular guest in the prosecutor's office). The head of the Wiesenthal Center admitted that he had learned from Falvai before even the official verdict was handed down that the decision would appealed.
Falvai also played a dubious role in the 2006 court proceedings against police officers who committed atrocities during the 2006 disturbances. Under his leadership the court was barely able to identify policemen who took part in the atrocities.

Pressure tactics to force Hungary to sign a loan agreement with IMFWednesday, February 22, 2012
Read more!
MKB Bank analyst, Zsolt Kondrát believes that the probability of freezing the cohesion funds to Hungary is low -- the threat probably won't be implemented. It was issued to force Hungary to sign a loan agreement with IMF.
According to the MKB Bank analyst, freezing funds wouldn't have too much direct impact on Hungarian economy. He explained that these sorts of fund applications take a long time to be assessed before any amount of money is paid.
The EU wants to freeze the funds starting in January 2013, which will have a very delayed effect. This is not like suddenly freezing a large amount of money to the country said the economist.
The short-term economic impact will be clearly negative – there will be less investment; but in the medium term may not be enough to harm economic prospects, because not only Hungary, but other countries too are doubting the effectiveness of these EU-funded projects.
The analyst said the negative impact of freezing funds wouldn't have financial impact but the message behind it that would hurt – it would indicate that there is no agreement with the IMF. In a situation like this, exchange rate depreciation, increase yields and lower economic growth is waiting for Hungary.
On Wednesday, the European Commission proposed the suspension of 495 million cohesion funds to Hungary effective in January 2013, because the country has allegedly failed to fulfill its obligation of deficit reduction. The panel's proposal still should be approved by the finance ministers of the EU member states.

Speaker of the House László Kövér visits the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia on Thursday
Read more!
The Parliament's press service reported on Wednesday that László Kövér meets the President of the Federal National Council, Mohammad Ahmad Al-Murr in Dubai on February 23, and holds talks with the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the meetings in both countries is to improve bilateral economic relations.
The speaker of parliament attends the G-20 countries parliament presidents meeting on February 24 – 26 in Riyadh at the invitation of Abdullah Alsheikh, the Chairman of the Saudi Shura Council. Given the fact that Hungary is not a member of the world's strongest economies of the G20 umbrella group, Kövér's invitation is a significant gesture and a value of political significance says the parliament's press communique. This is the first time that the speaker of the Hungarian parliament has been invited to participate in this forum.
The International Parliamentary Conference's agenda includes three topics: global inter-cultural dialogue, energy for sustainable development, as well as the financial crisis and its impact on the global economy. Kövér indicated that he intends to address in all three topics to clarify the Hungarian position in each topic.
The speaker of the parliament will be accompanied by Antal Rogán, Economic and IT Committee chairman, who holds talks with members of the Shura Council in economic, financial and information technology related issues.

Gábor Vona: Five-party consultation is needed to discus the country's EU membership
Read more!
The European Commission's Wednesday decision to suspend cohesion funds to Hungary is a very severe and harsh humiliation of the country said Gábor Vona on a press conference in Budapest where he recommended a five-party consultation on the country's EU membership.
The time has come for the prime minister to call a meeting of the five parliamentary party leaders to discuss Hungary's place and role in the future of the European Union.
Gábor Vona emphasized that Hungarian society didn't vote on the current European Union in 2004, therefore, Jobbik still insists on a referendum on the country's EU membership. According to Vona, the European Commission's Wednesday decision is unacceptable because in recent years Hungarian society has already sacrificed more than its capacity to maintain a balanced budget.
The European Commission has decided on Wednesday's meeting to recommend the suspension of 495 million Euro cohesion funds to Hungary because allegedly, the country has failed to fulfill its obligations of deficit reduction. The panel's proposal still has to be approved by the finance ministers of EU member states.

Crazy Nero (also known as Ferenc Gyurcsany) evaluates the year 2011
Read more!
The highlights of the speech in telegraphic style
I do not want to induce anger but Hungary is in trouble, more trouble than anytime in the past twenty years.
Twenty years ago, Hungarians wanted democracy, but in 1992 István Csurka appeared on the scene to show what nationalism is all about.
Republicans today are a minority.
Twenty years ago all of us agreed that Hungary's ship should sail towards the West -- Paris, Berlin and Rome. In 1990, we thought that we have created a new democratic society and a constitution that is acceptable to all. We thought that freedom was a good idea and society should be organized around this doctrine.
Now, however, the pillars of the republic have collapsed and an anti-Hungarian system has been built in its place that rejects the idea of Europe and considers Brussels as a threat. This system is afraid of freedom, foreign market competition and criminalizing poverty.
The Orbán government can be defeated.
We should investigate why is this happening to us and how to re-unite society in the name of the Republic.
The Orbán government's ambition is to change the system rather than the government. This already has happened. Besides the economic policy, the Orbán government are changing the country's self-image and culture as well.
The Orbán government has been focusing on national sovereignty, but the modern world is about cooperation. The Hungarian Prime Minister has reduced the country's room for maneuver. He has created a sad rather than a happy barrack. He lost his friends in Europe and failed to find new ones in Asia.
The Hungarian industry has changed, we like it or not, this is a fact; therefore Hungary's interest is to attract foreign investors.
We know that the Roma's culture are very different from ours and the Roma have different relationship to agricultural work, but in other areas they are just as good as we are.
There are eight hundred thousand Roma who feel miserable, because the country's other half sees only a problem with them. Those who meet the easy part of life, have an obligation to help the Roma concluded his one hour speech the dedicated agent of the global cabal.

Monument and museum for the Hungarian victims of the "Délvidék" genocide
Read more!
The goal is to remember, but also to send a message: Hungarians are still alive! The grand opening ceremony of the genocide memorial will be held on April 1st – at the anniversary of the 1941 return of "Délvidék" to the motherland. The same day a cornerstone is laid for the museum that is planned near the monument and will be housing the Hungarian Genocide Center.
The Sixty Four County Youth Movement can't accept the fact that when the topic of genocide comes up in everyday conversations everyone thinks of the Holocaust but nobody remembers the genocide that has been committed against Hungarians throughout the centuries in the Carpathian Basin said László Toroczkai, the president of HVIM. The time has come to remind the younger generations of the sufferings that Hungarians endured throughout the centuries. The monument like an exclamation-mark will remind those who have committed the horrors and their descendants of their actions. The monument will be erected at the Hungarian-Serbian international border crossing near the M5 motorway. At this border crossing about 2.5 million people enter and leave Hungary each year.
The monument will be visible to all visitors who are crossing the Hungarian-Serbian border regardless, that they want to see it or not. The new genocide center will be built on the Hungarian side of the border on a private property, so that neither Serbian nor Hungarian authorities can thwart the project.
The memorial will be a seven-meter high structure, the work of sculptor Klára Tóbiás; it depicts a "Turul" (falcon) flies out of a barbed wire bird nest holding a sword in its beak.
The goal is to remember, but also to send a message: Hungarians are still alive! The grand opening ceremony of the genocide memorial will be held on April 1st – at the anniversary of the 1941 return of "DélvidéK" to the motherland. The same day a cornerstone is laid for the museum that is planned near the monument and will be housing the Hungarian Genocide Center. Besides, the "Délvidék" massacre where 40 thousand Hungarians were slaughtered by Yugoslav partisans after the second world war, the center will commemorate to all Hungarian victims of genocide said Toroczkai.
HVIM is asking everyone who has authentic information and artifacts about the "Délvidék" massacre contact: email@example.com.
We are also welcoming suggestions and ideas about naming the facility, which is temporarily called Hungarian Genocide Center said Toroczkai.
Of course, we also need support; donations can be sent to HVIM bank account: 10102842-08769400-01003004
One percent of personal income tax can also be offered for the project (tax ID number: 18467626-1-06).

Hungarian themes and costumes at the Golden Rose Carnival in Sao PauloSunday, February 19, 2012
Read more!
Medieval Hungary was one of the themes of the two-day Golden Rose Carnival in Sao Paulo started on Saturday morning. Members of the "Rosas de Ouro" samba-school wearing Hungarian motif costumes and one of their cars has been covered by a large Hungarian coat of arms, as they paraded through Sao Paulo.

The production entitled "Hungria, Reino dos o Justus," which roughly translated, "Hungary, the kingdom of the righteous."
Although in Portuguese, the right spelling would have been " Hungria o Reino dos justos, ", but one letter of the phrase has been changed to honor Brazilian entrepreneur, Roberto Justus who has supported the samba school – Roberto Justus has Hungarian ancestry.

The Golden Rose Carnival in Sao Paulo predates the more famous Rio carnival, but it is also considered a great event; the carnival is broadcasted live from start to finish by the largest Brazilian television channel, Globo.

If you live in a large house that feels cramped, it's a sure sign your home may be poorly designed. Such was the case for accountants Roxanne Doré and Yves Fréchette, owners of a generous 2,700-square-foot 1960s bungalow in the lush east-side neighbourhood of Rothwell Heights. They enjoyed the luxury of an oversized three-quarter-acre corner lot, but the choppy small rooms inside did not make for comfortable living spaces.
"The living room was probably the biggest (room) and that was about 10 by 14 feet," says Fréchette. "We had a tiny kitchen that was segregated, with a tiny breakfast area. There were a lot of walls, lots of divisions within the house ... 2,700 square feet is still not that small, but it felt very crammed in there because there were so many tiny rooms in it."
They knew this was an issue when they bought the house in 2002. They did a few small renovations to tide them over until the right time came for a full gut, then brought in Chuck Mills, owner of Chuck Mills Residential Design & Development Inc. (cmillsdesign.com), to update their home and emphasize the volume inside — a welcome change for the busy family. The couple, both 41, have two boys, Mathieu, who is 10, and nine-year-old Alexandre.
Going with Mills was obviously a good choice, considering he won five awards this year for this renovation project alone — two provincial awards of distinction (most outstanding bathroom renovation and best renovation between $100,000 and $500,000) and three Greater Ottawa Home Builders' Association Housing Design Awards (best renovation/addition $350,000 to $499,999, custom bathroom and kitchen).
"I was far beyond pleased," says Mills. "You never know from year to year what the judges will be looking for."
Apparently what wowed the judges this year included the bungalow's vaulted tray ceilings, a grandmaster bedroom with ensuite addition and curved modern staircase with a steel stringer and open maple treads.
Between the bumped-out kitchen and living area and an addition for the master, the couple gained an extra 1,200 square feet of living space.
The roof may have been one of the biggest challenges. The couple felt limited with their standard eight-foot ceilings, so Mills replaced the roof with steeper rooflines to gain the head room needed to create an extra two feet for sloped tray ceilings in the living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom.
"They wanted to open up the living room, dining room, and kitchen for a large, open-concept entertaining area, but they also wanted volume ceiling. There was no way I could do that with the existing trussed roof," says Mills. "But once I put a new roof on there, I could actually build the volume into the underside of the new trusses."
The master suite features french glass doors that open to the back patio — a luxury on a warm summer night — and the ensuite bathroom exudes a decadent organic theme with a Kohler infinity spa tub, a bamboo and quartz floating vanity with shallow vessel sink and waterfall faucet, a tiled double-glass walk-in shower with custom bottle niches and heated rectangular tiled porcelain floor to warm cold feet on winter mornings.
Of course, the couple each have their favourite room in the house. For Fréchette, it's the spacious living room with a grand stone fireplace and a picture-perfect view of their landscaped backyard and new 20- by 40-foot saltwater pool.
"We put in this massive wood-burning fireplace," he says. "And I'm a guy that likes to make a nice fire when it's chilly out there."
Doré is a big fan of her new gourmet kitchen with custom Cabico espresso-stained maple cabinets and translucent glass accent panels, quartz countertops with glass tile backsplash, a funky rollout microwave drawer built into an island with a raised breakfast bar and separate corner banquette eating area.
"When I'm in the kitchen and if I'm cooking, and the fireplace is going, I can see the fireplace, the kids in there playing," she says. "So from that point, I can see everything that is going on."
Next to the kitchen is the open dining room with a stylish mid-wall mounted gas fireplace and stone wall over the server cabinet.
Mills says the issues inside their home were as problematic as the exterior.
"It had this sort of hideous gambrel roof over a section of the house. And when you drove by you actually couldn't tell where the front door was."
Now there's no question where the entrance is located. The entire exterior was redesigned with pronounced layered gables, timber-frame columns and new cladding consisting of stone, stucco and shingle siding.
Rockcliffe Landscaping (rockcliffelandscaping.com) manicured the front yard, removing unnecessary brush but keeping their beautiful grand pine and a large lilac bush in the front. They also installed a sprinkler system and built small pillars with lights at the entrance of the pathway to the front door to showcase the square Stonelink stone, chosen to complement the linear design of the home.
The entire project took a year. The couple lived with Doré's parents for about seven months during the construction.
And while the budget came in around $100,000 more than the $350,000 or so they expected because of changes and upgrades they made as the project unfolded, they felt it was a better option than buying another home if they were going to stay in the same neighbourhood.
"We wanted to stay in the Rothwell Heights area and home prices in this area have increased significantly since we bought our home. So we knew that it was a good investment. If we were to buy a new but older home in the area, we would need to pay more than $1 million and would still not have exactly what we wanted," says Fréchette, who is proud to say they can make it to the ByWard Market on foot in one hour.
So how does open living with long sight lines versus small choppy rooms change the way you live? You have more parties, of course.
"Other than being much happier to come into the house, (the renovation) has definitely let us entertain a lot more than before," Fréchette, says. "We have parties, we have people over. Both my kids play hockey, so we have a lot of hockey parties with the kids, it's just more appropriate for having large groups in your house."

By Lane Lindstrom
It's been a long month for us. You know how it is. You know
something but you can't say anything to anyone about it or a while.
That's us for the past three and a half weeks. We caught a
glimpse of the new Summits in late January at the media sneak peeks in Minneapolis. Then we
waited another couple of weeks to ride the new Summit, which Ski-Doo labels "re-imagined."
That's probably not the word we would have picked. We would
probably have said something like, "The Summit Rev XM has just ramped up the
competition in the western market to a whole new level." It's a little longer
but it definitely fits what Ski-Doo brings to the mountains for 2013.
And we finally get to tell someone about it.
We were invited to ride Ski-Doo's newest Summit
in the mountains near Sicamous,
BC, earlier this month. Big
mountains, plenty of snow and blue bird skies . perfect conditions to try out
the new platform that Ski-Doo is pinning its hopes on to blast the Polaris Pro
RMK from top of the hill in the West. That's no small feat but what Ski-Doo is
unveiling for 2013 has a serious shot at making it happen.
We go into some detail in the March issue of SnoWest Magazine about all the changes
to Ski-Doo's Summit
line, which is hardly recognizable now with its "re-imagined" sleds.
For now, here are some highlights of the Summit for 2013 with regards to its new
platform, the Rev XM. Then we'll give some insights about our ride experience
from our day in Canada.
tMotion Rear Suspension:
A swiveling rear arm and split front arm allow the skid frame to flex laterally,
reducing the sled's resistance to banking. A more rising-rate motion ratio (similar
to the SC-5M-2 suspension) adds capacity and comfort.
FlexEdge Track Technology:
The fiberglass reinforcing rods are only 12-inches (31-cm) wide on the 16-inch
(41-cm) wide tracks. When the rider initiates a roll, the edge of the track flexes,
enabling the sled to have the maneuverability of a narrow track with the flotation
and traction of a wide track.
Rev-XM Ergonomic Package:
Riders can place their feet eight inches more forward compared to the 2012 model,
making many powder maneuvers easier; running board openings are 87 percent larger
than the REV-XP platform for better snow evacuation and grip; Summit-specific handlebar controls are minimalist for no
interference with the rider; rigid grab handle offers more leverage when sidehilling;
smaller seat (with storage) makes swinging a leg over easier; the gauges are mounted
flat for easier viewing when standing and a heated glove box under the windshield
keeps important items close.
Rev-XM Body Style: The
next generation of the unmistakable Rev body style is more dynamic and sophisticated
with multiple origami-like surfaces and intricate detailing. Rev-XM-specific body
panels are lighter weight and designed to move more easily through deep snow.
There're a whole lot of things working here with the tMotion
rear suspension, track and more rounded edges on the body panels but the key
word is "working." They all combine to make the Summit X and SP 800-the models
that get all these features-better and more capable technical boondocking
snowmobiles. The Rev XM now tracks straight across the hillside when
sidehilling instead of trying to creep up the mountain at an angle. It rolls up
much easier regardless of whether you're trying to lay the machine down in the
powder or riding off camber hills in the tight trees.
The 2012 Rev XP is a decent platform but the Rex XM is
better. The Rev XM is more rider friendly whereas the Rev XP takes some work to
ride it in the same conditions. We felt riding the Rev XP took a lot of rider
input. The Rev XM is simply easier to ride and boosts the confidence level of
the rider. This new chassis is more predictable, not a trait we would say the
Rev XP had. Ski-Doo did a good job of addressing this issue of
predictability-one of our biggest complaints ever since the Rev XP was
Little things like a more forward foot position gives the
rider more options when in difficult technical situations. Another seemingly
small thing is the shorter (in length) seat, which really does make getting
your leg from one side of the sled to the other much easier. After our ride in British Columbia, we rode one of our Rev XPs back home in
Idaho and
when boondocking we definitely noticed how sometimes it took more effort to
switch sides of the sled. It was quite noticeable.
Still one more "little thing" is the more rigid mountain
strap. Thank heavens that floppy and sometimes difficult to find strap on
previous Summits is gone. You shouldn't have to look for or fish around with
your hand to find the mountain strap. It's right there every single time. A
simple change that makes a lot of difference.
The redesigned side panels also fit into that "little things
changed" category that makes a noticeable difference. The '12 side panels are
more edgier, which, in certain deep snow conditions, pushes the snow instead of
floating over it. Problem solved with the '13 side panels which are rounded and
thus don't plow snow.
This next one is not a little thing but a big change-way so
much better running boards where you can stomp snow through if it starts to
build up on the boards. Again, on our ride back home in Idaho showed the glaring difference between
the '12 boards and the new '13 ones-way better.
We'll get more seat time in a week during the annual photo
shoots where all the manufacturers get together to show off all their new sleds
on the snow. We'll get a chance to
see how the new Rev XM stacks up against the Polaris and Arctic Cat.
We'll give you all the details this fall in SnoWest Magazine.

With about 150 students and faculty with flu-related illnesses absent Wednesday from Konawa schools, officials in the Seminole County town have cancelled classes for all grades until Monday.
With about 150 students and faculty with flu-related illnesses absent Wednesday from Konawa schools, officials in the Seminole County town have cancelled classes for all grades until Monday.
Konawa Public School Superintendent Joe Sharber said more than 100 desks sat empty from a barrage of flu and stomach flu illnesses on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, that number increased, he said, with more students being sent home with each passing hour of the day, including teachers and principals who also had fallen ill.
As a result, Sharber said notifications were made to parents that classes in all grades would be cancelled for the rest of the week to help keep the flu bugs from spreading any further.
While sickness affected all grade levels, he said, the largest number was from the elementary school.
Only support personnel and a few administrators were at any of the school buildings on Thursday.
"We're deep cleaning buildings," Sharber said, especially focusing on desks and the restrooms.
With a total of about 730 students district-wide, the superintendent said 150 falling sick at once was a big number.
"Some classes had eight to 10 students out," he said.
With closure planned until Monday, Sharber hopes that will prevent others from becoming sick.
But when Monday rolls around, Sharber encourages parents to keep their children home if they are still sick or are running a fever.
Sharber said the district's snow days would be used for flu days.
Here in Shawnee, Shawnee Public Schools has not experienced a large amount of flu confirmations.
"We do see some flu," Susie Killingsworth, Shawnee Public Schools health coordinator, R.N. said.
Killingsworth said absence rates vary between Shawnee schools greatly.
Sequoyah Elementary had more confirmed flu cases than Jefferson Elementary, she said, as their 3.9 percent absence rate was less than half of Jefferson Elementary.
Jefferson Elementary had an absence rate of 8.3 percent, but had only one confirmed flu case.
Killingsworth said she is seeing more stomach bugs and RSV, and other illnesses that mimic the flu.
"Flu is not what's causing most of our absences," she added.
Lincoln County has had eight hospitalizations due to the flu, according to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. Pottawatomie County has had seven, and Seminole County has had four hospitalizations.

A new NASCAR team, Swan Racing, will take the track at Daytona International Speedway in February 2013. Led by NASCAR's newest team owner, Brandon Davis, Swan Racing will compete full-time in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, racing the No. 30 Toyota driven by David Stremme.
Davis, CEO of independent oil and gas company Swan Energy Inc., and a dirt-modified driver in the United States Modified Touring Series (USMTS) purchased the assets of Inception Racing earlier this year.
"Swan Racing is here to race competitively every week – the days of starting and parking are over. I am confident that we are putting together the personnel to one day produce a championship contender," said Davis.
"I have spent a lot of time with Brandon this year and I can tell you he is here to win," said Stremme. "I have never been so excited for a new season as I am for 2013. I'm ready to get started now."
Davis has tapped Steve Hmiel to be Swan Racing's director of competition. Hmiel is a veteran of the NASCAR garage area with over 35 years of experience as a crew chief, car chief and competition director.
Hmiel broke into NASCAR with Petty Enterprises, helping Richard Petty win championships in 1975 and 1979. In 1984, he was the crew chief for Terry Labonte's championship.
As Mark Martin's crew chief from 1992 to 1996, Hmiel won 13 races for Roush Racing. In 2005, Hmiel was Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s crew chief for a brief period and won that year at Chicagoland Speedway. Most recently Hmiel was competition director at Earnhardt Ganassi Racing.
"Steve is among the best and brightest technical experts in the NASCAR garage area. His experience and expertise will be a crucial part in Swan Racing's success," said Davis.
"This is a great opportunity to build a team from the ground up. Brandon is completely committed to winning; he has a long-term vision. I am excited to be part of it," said Hmiel.
Swan Racing is located in Mooresville, N.C., and will get its horsepower from Triad Racing Technologies, a top engine builder.
Swan Energy will be the primary sponsor on the No. 30 Toyota. Discussions with additional sponsors are underway and further sponsor announcements are expected early in 2013.
Growing up in Oklahoma, Davis, 33, worked on his father's dirt car until he was old enough to get behind the wheel and go racing: "I have been around racing all my life; it is in my blood. I've built cars, I've raced cars and now I'm looking forward to winning at the highest level.
"I am encouraged by the success of teams like Michael Waltrip Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing in recent years. It says a lot about the competitiveness of the sport and the opportunity small teams have to succeed."
From a release issued by Swan Racing.

While a woman's body is not the main focus of this commercial, the female form is still objectified and portrayed as nothing but a distraction to the men playing soccer. I find it interesting how the beer is portrayed in a similar way: as a distraction to the men on the field. However, the difference lies in the fact that beer is not representative of human beings, and when you're comparing women to beer, what is that saying about women?
A close up of a soccer ball on a field where one field player faces off with a goal keeper for a penalty kick that will determine the outcome of the game in question. The goal keeper and the player preparing to take the kick exchange looks. Over the shoulder of the field player, fans cheering against the goal keeper hold up individual signs that together create an image of a hula girl, which distracts the goal keeper. The field player smirks and winds up to take the kick. Just then, fans sitting behind the goal also hold up individual signs that create the image of a Budweiser beer can and glass filled with beer. The field player is so distracted by this image that his kick goes wide to the right of the goal, losing the game.

Frothing Pitchers
Our most popular daily request is for milk frothing tips. You have heard about velvety microfoam, but how do you achieve it? First, select a milk frothing pitcher that works well with your espresso machine. Consider the angle of your steam wand and the clearance from the counter. Next, how much capacity does the milk frothing pitcher provide? Enough for a 16 ounce latte or just a dollop of foam to mark the top of a perfectly pulled espresso shot? Once you find the right milk frothing pitcher it is time to put it into action.

Fire Extinguisher Sickens 7 In Atlantic City
Seven people have been taken to a hospital after a man discharged a fire extinguisher in Atlantic City's Public Safety Building.
People are returning after the building, which houses police and fire officials, was evacuated Tuesday morning.
Sgt. Monica McMenamin tells The Press of Atlantic City the man who discharged the extinguisher was taken into custody. His name has not been released.
McMenamin says five law enforcement personnel and two civilians were hospitalized, mostly for inhalation of the chemicals.
The police sergeant says most of the damage was to the press conference room on the building's fourth floor, which is near to the Public Safety Director and Fire Department offices.

Get around
Public transportation
Cagliari Public Transportation CTM provides an fast and efficient service to get around in Cagliari city and suburbs.There are about 30 lines of buses and four new metro lines are in progress. At least the bus traffic is amazingly efficient and reliable to Italian standards.
By car
It's really difficult to get parking and drive in rush hour even if road network has been recently improved.
On foot
The best thing you can do is walk through the old city and discover it. Almost everything you have to see in a quick visit of Cagliari can be joined by a pleasant little walk.
There are clean public toilets in the building on the Pontile Sanita ferry wharf, near the bus terminal.
By bike
Cagliari Bike station In the centre of Cagliari,inside the parking area at the train station www.ichnusabike.it
Cagliari is known as "The City of Sun", so you must have a full relaxing day on the wonderful Poetto Beach. This 8 kilometers long beach will excite you and is perfectly equipped to satisfy every your wish. You can get here by buses PF,PQ,3P,9P.
The beach is divided to free parts and 'beach clubs' that charge you with entry fee and rent you umbrellas, deck chairs etc. Prices are around €3 / entry, about €12 for a umbrella, one deck chair and one sun bed. The 'club beaches' clean the sand each night and provide you with showers and toilets too.
Most of the shops are concentrated in a couple of areas: Via Roma and Largo Carlo Felice, the pedestrial roads Via Manno and Via Garibaldi, and the part of town around Via Alghero, Via Paoli and Via Dante. Lots of beautiful shop are concentrated in this areas which could remind you of Copenhagen's Strøget.
There's a LOT of restaurants in the old town area, and you probably will not make a bad selection anyway since the food seems to be top class at least if you enjoy seafood. A dinner for two with little house wine, There's a good pizza place tucked away in the side streets in the Marina district, l'Oca Bianca. You should make a reservation, though.
There's a few places to enjoy lunch salads at the Piazza Yenne, and a wonderful Gelateria if you don't want to eat too heavily during the day. These places double up as decent eateries by night.
The whole area around Cagliari gives host to a number of accommodation options including the world famous Forte village [6] and the stunning hotel le meridien located on the white sandy beaches of Chia.

With Valentine's Day around the corner, many lovestruck couples are on the hunt for an unforgettable place to pop the question. With colourful countryside, serene lakes, dramatic mountains and historic castles, Ireland has plenty of romantic places to inspire a proposal to remember.
Here are our top ten places to pop the question in Ireland:
Torc waterfall, Kerry

Scenic Killarney National Park is awash with mountains, lakes, cute traditional cottages and some of Ireland's most stunning countryside. Take a horsedrawn carriage ride around the park and stop off at Torc waterfall, a 60 foot high cascading waterfall that's a real natural wonder.
Whitefriar Street Chapel, Dublin

Every year around Valentine's Day couples make pilgrimages to this Carmelite chapel in Dublin city center. Tucked away inside lie the remains of St Valentine and a visit to the patron saint of lovers has inspired many Feb 14 proposals.
Marble Arch Caves, Fermanagh

Say 'I Do' in a world of stalagmites and stalactites in these wonderful caves under the lush green Fermanagh countryside. Discovered in the 19th century, these incredible caves are like stepping into another world.
Sligo's beaches
Standhill Beach, Co. Sligo. Image source: Brian Morrison / Tourism Ireland
Get swept away with the salty sea air and gentle lapping waves on a romantic walk along Strandhill beach in Sligo. Take a horse ride along the sand, check out the view of Mount Benbulben or unwind with an Irish seaweed bath together, one of Sligo's specialities.
Inchydoney, West Cork

Idyllic Inchydoney is the perfect place for a secluded love-in. Take a picnic on the grassy hill overlooking the wild Atlantic Ocean, spell 'I love you' in the soft sand and go for a couples massage in the award-winning Inchydoney Island Spa.
Ashford Castle, Co Mayo

Fans of John Ford's classic "The Quiet Man" will instantly recognise the quaint village of Cong from the John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara love story. In fact, the cast even stayed at the five star property. Dating back to 1228, Ashford Castle is an ideal base to start exploring the romantic west of Ireland.
Powerscourt Estate & Gardens, Co Wicklow

Romance will definitely bloom after a stroll through the gardens of Powerscourt House, one of Ireland's finest country estates. The expansive gardens include 47 acres of manicured landscape and colorful flowers. Don't miss Ireland's highest waterfall, also on the estate.
Cliffs of Moher, Co Clare
Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare. Image source: Chris Hill / Tourism Ireland
On a clear day the view from Clare's west coast is breathtaking – sweeping cliffs, the expansive Atlantic Ocean and the Aran islands in the distance. You might have to battle the Atlantic wind, but this will definitely be a proposal to remember.
Glendalough Valley and Tower
Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. Image source: Chris Hill / Tourism Ireland
Founded by St Kevin in the 6th century, the early Christian Monastic site of Glendalough is bliss to visit. See two lakes as well as a picturesque round tower. A walk through this gorgeous valley is guaranteed to inspire many to drop down on one knee.
Newgrange, Co Meath
Newgrange, Slane. Co. Meath. Image source: Tourism Ireland
In Irish mythology, Aonghus and Caer both flew to Newgrange and lived there in the form of swans. This famous Megalithic Passage Tomb dates back to 3200BC and each year the sun lights up the inner chamber for the Winter Solstice. Around 50 people are chosen by lottery to experience this ancient wonder in the flesh. You can't get a more exclusive proposal than that.

This is the walkway to the door of my office at the Youth Center – after every rainfall a perfect heart forms in the same spot on the path. When it is not raining there is no noticeable difference in the paved walkaway. I have wondered on other occasions what causes the heart to form… but in the rush to get on with my work day and with many things on my mind, I never really let the gift of the puddle heart sink in, until this morning.
Today, in the warmth of the glorious sun, I stopped and appreciated the puddle heart. I felt an overwhelming sense of love, purpose, direction. I felt unexpected inspiration.
My puddle encounter immediately called to mind the times in my life that I have been accused of "wearing my heart on my sleeve". I always found that to be a strange thing to be "accused" of. I never understood why it would be perceived as a bad thing to be: loving, open to others, compassionate, willing to risk a bit of damage to my exposed self if that was what another person needed of me. I know how that my heart on my sleeve is part of who I am, and in many ways what called me into Ministry with the Church.
I like being available and honest with the teens I minister to and with. I like them to see me in my authentic, Catholic truth… tears, frustration, anger, love, joy… all of it. As I have gotten older, I have come to realize that much of "accusation" is based in fear – fear of being hurt, fear of being wronged, fear of being alone. I believe that being in true relationship with others, with yourself, with God requires the risk of putting your heart out there front and center and right in the middle of the path. Just like the puddle heart.
I peaked back out at the walkway, just a little while later and the puddle heart was completely gone. No sign of it at all, just a normal blacktop path between the driveway and the steps and God's message was clear. Every day we have a choice. I have a choice. I can choose to be Christ's love in the paths of those that I encounter or I can choose to be an ordinary concrete path. It doesn't matter if most days people step around love, ignore love, are blind to love, because if I continue to be love, I am doing all that God has called me to do.
I know it is not easy. Some days are hard, miserable, really. But today, my prayer for you is that you are unexpectedly inspired to be LOVE. (This piece was written by our Youth Minister and Young Adult leader, Christine Goss.)
