Jobbik will sue ATV because of slender. A few days ago, the TV channel aired a lie about Jobbik receiving 15 million from a bank robber said Előd Novák Jobbik's vice-president. Jobbik will also initiate the suspension of the licence agreement of the TV station and starts legal proceeding against any media participated in the spreading of the lie.
Jobbik already released a statement stating that the party has never received any contribution from the alleged bank robber called Miklóstól Cs.
Despite repeated calls, ATV didn't issue a correction of the false report. With this the TV channel violated the law of objective reporting said Előd Novák.

Nikolett Müller resigns from the Hungarian Guard
Read more!
Nikolett Müller the beleaguered member of the Hungarian Guard resigned from the Guard because of the controversy surrounded her past activities as a porn actress. In a letter to the chief of the Hungarian Guard, she thanked to the Guard for standing behind her when the entire media attacked and smeared her including nationalist publications.
She said her involvement in the porn business was the result of an immature girl's bad decision that was adult only in the number of her years. She wanted to start a new life that's why she joined to the Hungarian Guard.
She resigns because she wants to spare the Guard from further controversies. This decision, she called the second most painful in her life.
She said she has never commented on any news portal on articles written about her and will not do so in the future either (Note: On velvet, a National Inquirer quality trash portal a fake comment appeared that was attributed to her).
She said "Regardless of the circumstances, in spirit, I will remain forever member of the Hungarian Guard and I am happy that I could experience the friendship of a true community, whatever short this period was."
She hopes that those smeared her in the media, one day will experience the result of a bad decision.
She finished her letter by saying that as a civilian she will continue fighting for the better future.
(Note: Everybody makes mistakes. This case shows, it is better to reserve judgement before rushing to condemn someone without knowing all the circumstances surrounding the case one has been dealing with. Nikolett Müller made a bad choice as an immature girl and realizing her mistakes she became a patriot who was willing to do something for the betterment of her country. As a show of solidarity, I've deleted all naked pictures about her, I included in my earlier post.)
The full letter:
Adjon az Isten!
Tisztelt Főkapitány Úr!
Pár évvel ezelőtt hoztam egy rossz döntést. Nem keresek rá mentségeket, rossz döntés volt. Egy fiatal lány döntése volt, aki korban felnőtt volt, észben nem. Aztán rájöttem, hogy rossz utat választottam. Szerettem volna tiszta lappal újraindulni. A Magyar Gárda soraiba jelentkeztem, és elmondtam a múltamat. Úgy éreztem, ha elmondom szépítés nélkül a múltamat, vállalom érte a felelősséget, akkor elmondhatom, hogy felnőtt lettem. Úgy éreztem, hogy esélyt adok vele magamnak. És megkaptam ezt az esélyt a Gárdától is.
Köszönöm, hogy a Gárda összezárt, és megvédett. Épp ezért hoztam meg életem második legfájóbb döntését: szeretnék kilépni a Gárda soraiból. Sajnálom, hogy a sajtó az egész Gárdát bántotta az én hibás döntésem miatt. Még a saját oldalunk sajtója is. Ezúton tenném hozzá, hogy semmilyen portálon kommentárt nem fűztem a megjelent cikkhez, és a jövőben sem fogok, a nekem tulajdonított írással pedig én magam sem értek egyet.
Ettől függetlenül lélekben örökké Gárdista maradok, és örülök, hogy- ha rövid ideig is- de igaz bajtársak között állhattam.
Remélem, hogy azok a firkászok, akik napokig az én képeimmel bíbelődtek, egyszer majd megérzik, milyen súllyal bír egy rossz döntés. Mert szerintem ez, amit velem tettek, az volt.
Bízom abban, és civil emberként is küzdeni fogok azért hogy eljöjjön a szebb jövő!
Müller Nikolett

An example of news manipulation by the controlled media
Read more!
The agenda driven mainstream media has been exposed once again. In a document obtained by Jobbik, the MTI itself ("Magyar Tavirati Iroda" the main Hungarian news agency--Hungarian Disinformation Agency would be a more fitting name) confirmed what already every sane person knew—the media is manipulating news, especially when it comes to Jobbik and other nationalist organizations.
In October of the last year, Jobbik and the Hungarian Guard had a candlelight vigil at the monument of Lajos Szögi, the professor lynched by a gypsy mob in front of his own children.
MTI's news editor attached a note to the journalist's report covering the event: "Csak akkor adunk róla, ha balhé van, egyébként egy szót sem" (Release the news only if violence is involved, otherwise not a word). Click the picture to enlarge it; you can read the quoted instructions, at the lower right corner of the document.
This is just one of the examples showing how mainstream media violating the idea of objective reporting.
This is also a warning to foreign press taking news items from MTI on the regular basis.

Geely buys Volvo in biggest overseas foraySunday, March 28, 2010
Read more!
By Li Fangfang (China Daily)
BEIJING - Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, China's No 10 automaker, sealed a binding deal on Sunday to buy ailing Swedish luxury car brand Volvo from US giant Ford for $1.8 billion.
"Today represents a milestone in the history of Geely," Geely Chairman Li Shufu told a news conference, adding that Volvo will remain a separate company with its own management team based in Sweden.
The agreement was signed between the two automakers in Goteborg, Sweden.
The deal is China's biggest overseas auto purchase and represents the most ambitious move by a homegrown auto brand, said analysts.
Ford has been trying to sell Volvo since late 2008 to focus its resources on managing its core Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands. The sale deal is expected to free up cash for the No 2 US automaker.
Geely, an independent automaker that has struggled to raise its profile in overseas markets, has long coveted a stronger foothold in Europe.
It was chosen by Ford as the preferred bidder for its loss-making Swedish unit in October 2009.
Li is already planning a factory in Beijing which will make 300,000 Volvo cars, or as many as are now made abroad.
According to the agreement, the acquisition will offer Geely, a producer with lower-end image, access to a high-end brand and technology it needs to compete with much bigger rivals in China.
"The acquisition is a milestone in China's automobile industry, especially when Chinese automakers are considering overseas expansion," said Jia Xinguang, an independent auto analyst.
"Li Shufu has a very strategic target that can be boosted by Volvo's green technologies."
Auto analyst Zhong Shi said he believed that "the deal is worth it to get the world's leading technologies for a reasonable price. The takeover may help Geely take a step forward in competing with other homegrown brands."
As the Chinese company has promised to retain Volvo's brand and operations in Sweden after the transaction, including the headquarters, production facility and research center, Zhong said "the takeover will not have any impact on Volvo's future development and high-end brand image."
Although Geely said earlier that it has enough financial resources - from Chinese and overseas investors, and financial institutions - to execute the deal, analysts worry about its ability.
"It will face huge financial pressure to operate Volvo in
the long run," said Zhong.
According to a Bloomberg report last week citing a Volvo board member, Geely still needs $1.4 billion to revive the Volvo brand, a sum that it may find it difficult to raise.
"Integration and future operations are also key to Geely's Volvo deal. And the different culture poses another challenge," said Xu Changming, senior economist at the State Information Center.
He worries that if Geely cannot address issues such as employee welfare, "it may repeat Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp (SAIC)'s failed acquisition of Ssangyong".
In 2004, China's largest automaker paid $500 million for a 49-percent stake in South Korea's Ssangyong Motors. The latter went bankrupt this January, making SAIC's investment a total write-off. Volvo employs nearly 20,000 workers.
China raced past the United States to become the world's top auto market last year, with sales surging 46 percent to a record 13.6 million units. It is keen to move into Western markets but has so far lacked the technology and brand recognition.
The Volvo deal should help the Chinese carmaker get around some of those obstacles more quickly, analysts said.

Member of the New Hungarian guard makes a living as a porn actress [UPDATED]
Read more!
While she fought bravely with police during the last year Erzsebet Square battle, it turned out that Nikolett Muller makes a living as a porn actress causing considerable embarrassment to the New Hungarian guard.
The news about Nikolett Muller has been leaked by Velvet. The sad thing is that the economic situation in this country is so bad that young people have a hard time finding proper employment.
The New Hungarian Guard released a statement about the case of Nikolett Muller whose story the liberal media leaked three weeks before the national election, despite the fact, they knew about it long before. According to the statement, she is not in the porn business any more. The New Hungarian Guard supports her all the way and stands shoulder to shoulder by the beleaguered sister in arms. She showed courage and determination in her assignments and always stood up for her fellow comrades in need. Her superiors are satisfied with her work she does in the health unit of the New Hungarian Guard. When she applied for membership, she did not hide the fact that she worked in the porn business. Her superiors knew about her past at the time of her application.
With this statement, the New Hungarian Guard considers the matter closed and won't discuss it any further.
(Note: I find a bit strange that she was accepted into the New Hungarian Guard with a past like this, but on the other hand, everyone deserves a second chance.)
The full statement:
"Adjon az Isten!
Tudtunk arról, hogy bajtársnőnk pornószínésznőként dolgozott, hiszen azt jelentkezéskor önként, fontos tényként közölte. Azt feltétlenül ki kell emelni, hogy eskütétele óta bajtársnőnk az Új Magyar Gárda közösségén belül példás munkát végez, elöljárói mind fizikai erőnlétével, mind az egészségügyi egységben végzett munkájával, mind pedig magatartásával tökéletesen elégedettek. Meghurcolt, bántalmazott bajtársaiért minden esetben példamutatóan kiállt!
Az ügyet a továbbiakban az Új Magyar Gárda belügyeként kezeljük, arról a nagy nyilvánosság felé nyilatkozni nem kívánunk.
Ugyanakkor fontosnak tartjuk megkérdezni: az az eset, mely tavaly szeptember elején egyszer már nyilvánosságot kapott, miért csak most, két héttel a választások előtt lett a fősodratú média címlapsztorija?
Szebb jövőt!
Új Magyar Gárda
Országos Sajtóiroda"

World War III Has Already BegunSaturday, March 27, 2010
Read more!
Some experts believe that World War III will start 100 years after the first one and will take lives of hundreds of millions of people. Some scientists think that the war is already going on, nareing the completion of its first stage.
Konstantin Sivkov, first VP of the Academy for Geopolitical Issues, developed a scientific concept of the reasons, stages and timeframes of World War II. He shared his forecast with Svobodnaya Pressa.
Sivkov believes that planet Earth has experienced a global, civilized crisis. The crisis was caused by several disproportions, namely: 1) conflicts between growth of production/consumption and available resources 2) conflicts between "poor" developing countries and "rich" industrially developed countries, between nations and transnational elite; 3) conflicts between spiritless free market with the power of money and spiritual roots of various civilizations, including Orthodox, Muslim, Buddhist and others.
"The analysis of possible solutions of these misbalances and conflicts shows that they are of antagonistic nature, and the crisis cannot be solved without significant infringement of interests of some large geopolitical subjects. This means that participation of military forces is unavoidable. Considering the global nature of the crisis, we may assume that military participation will be global as well, "Sivkov believes.
He predicts that World War III will be of coalitional nature. Countries will form coalitions based on their loyalty to one of the two models of world order.
The first model is "the world of civilized hierarchy." Select few brutally exploit the rest of humanity. The second model is "civilized mutual support" or "civilized harmony."
"In other words, the war will be waged to define the spiritual basis of new world order. It will either be based on individualism, selfishness and suppression, or community, domination of mutual interest to survive and develop and support each other. This is the main difference between the war to come and previous wars that were fought for economic redistribution."
Two coalitions already exist. The first one is the alliance of the so-called industrially developed countries represented by Western civilizations. Spiritual foundations of this coalition are based on individualism and material possessions generating power of money. The coalition's military and political core is represented by the block NATO. The second coalition involves countries of orthodox, Islamic and other civilizations based on the domination of spiritual over material. This coalition is interested in multipolar world order. Yet, these countries have not realized that they have mutual geopolitical interests, let alone a necessity in a political or military unity.
"The countries that are not a part of Western civilization are not ready for military confrontation neither in terms of organization nor technical preparedness. On the other hand, this coalition has overwhelming majority of people and control over ample natural resources and territories. This greatly increases their chances to win a long war and provides favorable circumstances for fighting the aggressor during the initial stages of war. Another potential advantage is that simultaneous attacks in all directions are practically impossible. This creates a reserve of time for consolidation of countries into an anti-imperialistic coalition. There is a possibility of supporting the countries that will become the first victims of aggressors," Sivkov says.
The scientist is convinced that the war is already going on. So far it is in a relatively peaceful stage.
"The first stage that we may call an "attempt of peaceful crisis resolution" is nearing its completion. 20G summits fighting in the battle field right now are obviously not bringing the results. Imedi and Helsingin Sanomat provocations mark the beginning of stage two, that we may call a "threat period before the beginning of world war." During this stage Western civilization has commenced preparation for local wars and armed conflicts for resources.
The main actions at this stage are information operations and actions in economic area that may take various forms, from economic sanctions to terrorist attacks against industrial facilities, as well as different activities of Special Forces," says Sivkov.
"In a few years, the third stage will commence, the stage of "limited wars," that will later turn into a full scale world war with all types of weapons.
The only restricting factor at the moment is Russia ' s nuclear potential . According to the forecast of the scientist, the West will try to take away Russia's nuclear shield.
"Considering the situation in Russia, when the fifth column of the West significantly affects decisions in Russia's defense sector, in particular, the direction Russia's armed forces will take, we can expect the form of SNF contract that will deprive Russia of its nuclear shield. Of course, it will be presented with a beautiful wrapping of struggle for the world without nuclear weapons.
Russia may expect physical elimination of its nuclear potential during first stages of the world war (organized terrorist attacks, etc.) with further transition of neo-imperialistic coalition to unlimited use of nuclear weapons, which will bring it victory in the war," Sivkov stated.
He believes that aggressors will not be stopped with a possibility of death of hundreds of millions of people.
"History shows that the elite of "selfish" civilization do not get stopped by human sacrifices if there is a guarantee they themselves will survive in bunkers. The analysis shows that if the new world war is waged, it will touch the majority of the world population, all continents, oceans and seas. Over 100 million people may participate in this war. Total demographic losses may exceed several hundred millions of people. Therefore, all honest people on Earth, including those who form the "selfish" coalition must do everything they can not to allow it to happen. To do this, we have to mitigate with the force of law or other methods, the greed of transnational and national tycoons of the financial sector. We have to stop their ambitious, greedy, shameless and sometimes stupid politicians. This can only be done based on international consolidation efforts," the expert summarized.

A good morning laugh makes your day bright[UPDATED]
Read more!
I've cracked up laughing early morning today when reading the latest "news leak" about Jobbik's financial contributors. I've learned that even bank robbers contributing to Jobbik's election fund. This amazing information has been leaked during a criminal trial of a gypsy bank robber. According to the gypsy's lawyer, the criminal spent part of the stolen money playing blackjack and offered the rest to Jobbik's election fund. This is not a joke.
I've also learned that Miklós Cs. wasn't an ordinary bank robber who made a living out of taking other's money, but he was a Nazi too. During the trial, the man's family showed up in the court room claiming that Miklós Cs. was a Nazi.
Watch the video about the man in action, as it was recorded by a security camera.
Another convincing story about the dangerous Jobbik party, brought to you by the socialist crime syndicate.
Gábor Szabó, Jobbik's executive director released a statement rejecting the shameless attempt by certain forces to link Jobbik to a bank robber. Jobbik officials re-examined all contributions the party received from the year 2003 up to the present and found no contributor under the name Miklos Cs.

The fish smells from the head [UPDATED]Thursday, March 25, 2010
Read more!
In Thursday morning, in the twelve district of Budapest, a police cruiser found a drunkard without shoes and socks lying on the ground and hardly able to walk. He was taken to the "Honvéd Kórház" Intoxication Ward where he was identified as police general Ernő Kiss retired from active service the last year.
This is not the first time that the bum has been caught intoxicated. In 2007, he crashed his car into parking vehicles damaging three of them. After the accident, he claimed that it was not him but an impersonator who caused the accident to ruin his reputation.
In 1998, he was caught again urinating at the wall of the police headquarters that the security camera also recorded; he excused himself by saying that he was under medication and as a result, he couldn't hold it.
Just before retiring the last year, he was caught again driving his car while heavily intoxicated. He was flagged off and his drivers licence was suspended on the spot; an hour later, he was caught again driving without drivers licence.
No wonder that the entire police force is corrupt to the core when commanded by officers like Ernő Kiss.
Today, the Minster of Justice ordered police general Ernő Kiss not to wear police uniform in public because he disgraced the police force with his inappropriate behaviour.

When provocateurs come in the shape of a towing truck operator
Read more!
The liberal trash media, in this case Index, published a front page news about Krisztina Morvai refusing to pay a traffic violation bill on the basis of her immunity status, as member of the European parliament. Not surprisingly, the lie was taken over by the so called nationalist news portals like Magyar Hirlap slavishly supporting Fidesz.
In an outrageous move Magyar Hirlap started a smear campaign against Jobbik politicians, among them Krisztina Morvai, focusing exclusively on their personal lives rather than discussing the program of the party.
This is all the more disgusting because, a few years ago, Krisztina Morvai, in a selfless act of solidarity called upon her supporters to subscribe to Magyar Hirlap, because the Gyurcsany regime boycotted the paper. This is the Magyar Hirlap way of saying thank you.
Today, Ms. Morvai released a statement, in which she warned the mainstream media of the consequences, if they continue spreading lies about her. As a starter, she will sue Index for the misleading story and will sue others, if they don't issue corrections.
The truth is that when she was about to pay the fine for parking in a restricted area, the towing company operator tried to convince her to refuse the fine on the basis of her immunity status, as a MEP. This was an act of provocation by the regime and those horrified by the possibility of bringing them to justice for the crimes they have committed during their tenure in office. These forces want by all means prevent Jobbik to get into the parliament. Ms. Morvai payed the fine on the spot.
Everybody knows that Jobbik and its supporters are under surveillance by the regime; it is clear that the offer of the towing truck operator didn't came as a spontaneous act of good will; rather it was a trap that Ms. Morvai didn't step into. We forecast that in the remaining weeks, provocations will increase in numbers; this is as certain as the sun will rise tomorrow.
In the mean time, Antal Rogan, the mayor of the five district, a Fidesz strong man issued a statement defending the towing tuck operator from suggestions of being a provocateur; he implied that the entire affair was Morvai's fault.
It is not surprising that the socialists and the opposition Fidesz joined forces and the two together orchestrating the sneaky smear campaign against Jobbik, the only credible force in the country.

What happened in TényőWednesday, March 24, 2010
Read more!
Tényő is a small village, in Győr-Sopron county, in North-west Hungary. A week ago, the village was shocked by a grizzly murder-suicide where a four member family was savagely slaughtered, among them two children. According to police report, in a sudden surge of rage the head of the family bludgeoned his two daughters and his wife to death using an axe, then committed suicide with a chainsaw.
What triggered the murder is unclear. Witnesses phoned to the husband just before the murder took place reported no signs of anything unusual regarding the state of mind of the father.
Husband and wife worked as interior designers and had stable finances. Villagers remember the couple as polite and friendly people. The family lived on the edge of the village, in a wooded area.
According to origo, a liberal news portal, several villagers remarked that Tényő has been changed in recent years. People don't socialize as much as before, rather they lock themselves into their houses.
Police also reported that the murderer had psychological problems and visited a psychologist, occasionally. He had the tendency of getting depressed but according to the psychologist, this was a minor disorder and unlikely that triggered the murder-suicide.
Police gave a detailed account of the incident that indeed, sounds horrifying. The man bludgeoned his four and eight year old daughters with an axe; then, he murdered his wife. He took the bodies into the bedroom and covered them with a blanket. He, then, slit his wrists and stabbed himself several times in the chest. After realizing that he is not dying, he went to the garage, fired up his chainsaw and tried to kill himself by cutting his skull, at the forehead; but this didn't work, either. At that point, using the chainsaw, he committed suicide by cutting his throat. This is the story of the murder-suicide, in a nutshell, according to police account. Does this sound realistic to you? If not, you are not alone.
Sources living in the area are reporting that the controlled mainstream media "forgot" to mention a few minor points when aired the story. Tényő and the surrounding area is a heavily gypsy infested part of Győr-Sopron county. This fact, immediately explains, why residents of Tényő keep for themselves and lock themselves in their homes. They are afraid.
Now, let's take a closer look at the incredible account of the suicide. We have a man, bleeding from several stabbing wounds in the meantime, he is fiddling with a chainsaw (take a look at the picture, this is the chainsaw, he has used killing himself, as it was reported by police in a news-conference, presenting the items as evidence). Those who ever used a chainsaw, can tell that starting a chainsaw engine is not as easy as it may seem. More than likely that firing it up takes several pulls of the engine cord. In colder weather, it might take more pulls, and this is when the engine is in good condition and not flooded by fuel that often happens with chainsaw engines. Even loggers that are experts in chainsaw usage have often hard time get them started.
It seems incredible that a man bleeding from wrists and chest wounds do engage himself in the complex task of firing up a chainsaw engine that requires quite an effort even from a healthy person. Do you see something strange about this narrative, or only me?
Anyhow, the other suspicious thing about the story is the nature of the murder-suicide itself. We know, murder-suicide is an exclusively American cultural feature based on extreme individualism and as such, completely alien from the European, especially Easter-European state of mind. When something like this happens, anywhere in the country, one should immediately get alarmed; especially, when the story comes from a notoriously corrupt and discredited police force.
Police already have proven time and time again that when it comes to covering up an atrocious crime, they are always ready to follow the orders of the criminal regime that unleashed gypsy criminals on Hungarian society, in order to make people busy surviving rather than opposing their crimes.
The procedure of terrorizing Hungarian society by gypsy criminals follows the same script that used in other European countries, like Sweden, England, France and so on and so forth; the only difference is that in those countries politicians use immigrants from third world countries to destroy local cultures and traditions; in Hungary, they use gypsies to accomplish the same thing.
Let's sum up the "facts" we have learned about the Tényő murder-suicide, from the police and media point of view.
In a small village of Tényő, located in Győr-Sopron county lives an average family husband, wife and two children. The family owns a home that has been located, on the edge of the village, surrounded by woods. Villagers keep for themselves and lock themselves in their homes. There are no signs of trouble, whatsoever, indicating that anything is wrong with the family, even minutes before the incident occurred. Out of the blue, suddenly comes a surge of rage that triggers the murder-suicide.
Sources living in the region are suggesting that this incident wasn't a murder-suicide but a murder, plain and simple; it might have been committed by gypsy criminals. There is no proof, supporting this claim (yet), however, circumstantial evidence point to this direction. Sources are also suggesting that the reason why police and the mainstream media are so desperate to cover up the crime is because we have an election is coming up in three weeks. If people would learn the truth, Jobbik support would surge in the western part of the country, as well. And the regime doesn't want that.
This scenario is a theory, at this point. Time will tell what version of the story turns out to be true, the official account or the alternative interpretation. Whatever the future might bring, we have to be conscious to the fact that the official version of the story comes from a police force that function as a private security firm for the socialist crime network and as such, have no credibility, at all.

ELTE (Budapest University) banned Gábor Vona from participating in a round table discussion
Read more!
Despite demands from students, the leadership of ELTE banned Gábor Vona to participate in a round table discussion, probably caving in to pressure coming from the government.
Instead, university officials invited politicians of Fidesz, MSZP and the two fringe party officials representing the MDF and the Liberal parties whose support, even according to the notoriously unreliable polling agencies is in the range of one or two percent.
Gábor Vona issued a short statement, in which he regretted the decision of the University, that in fact, deprives students from the possibility of getting objective information about election issues. He said this recent move by university officials shows that the current political establishment afraid of Jobbik.

Krisztina Morvai files lawsuit against officials issued permit for the Israeli spy-plane to fly over Hungary
Read more!
Krisztina Morvai, took part in the parliament's defence committee discussion over the possible breach of security by officials authorizing two Israeli aircrafts to fly over Hungary, last week.
At the meeting, Ms. Morvai asked several questions from the Minister of Defence and a high ranking military officer about the authorization of the Israeli spy-plane to fly over the country.
It turned out that the Ministry of Defence didn't follow proceedings, laid down by the law. The law requires officials to consult the secret service, before issuing a permit for a foreign aircraft to enter Hungarian airspace. The minster admitted that in this case, no consultation had been made any of those agencies.
Taking into account the seriousness of incident, Ms. Morvai files a lawsuit against those responsible for the breach of security.

Lassan egy éve már, hogy megtörtént a hihetetlen és elfogadhatatlan szörnyűség: 28 éves gyermekemet, Magyarosi Árpád Fiúkát kegyetlen, bestiális módon kivégezték a bolíviai Santa Cruzban.
Halála borzalmas volt: az órákon át tartó agonizálás után megfulladt a tüdőlövés során légcsövébe került vértől. Előtte brutális módon megverték, összerugdalták, megkínozták. A kapott 7 lövés egyike sem volt halálos: ha elszállították volna a közeli, 200 méterre levő kórházba, az élete menthető lett volna, ehelyett azonban szándékosan megvárták, míg meghal.
Az elmúlt hónapok alatt - a történtek tekintetében - az igazság közelébe sem kerültünk, a miértekre semmiféle választ nem kaptunk. A korrupt, hatalomvágyó bolíviai kommunista kormány (a rájuk jellemző, szokásos módokon) nem létező, kreált bizonyítékokkal próbálja igazolni aljas tettét, nem riadva vissza újabb gyilkosságok elkövetésétől, vagy hazugságoktól, megfélemlítéstől, fenyegetéstől, a "koronatanúk" lefizetésétől vagy kényszerítésétől, börtönbe zárásától sem.
Az ügyben eljárást fogok kezdeményezni az Amerikaközi Emberi Jogi Bizottság előtt, előtte azonban a helyi – bolíviai – jogorvoslati lehetőségeket (a Legfelsőbb Bíróságig bezárólag) ki kell merítenem. A Bolíviában egyre erősödő diktatúra eredményeként mindeddig hiába kerestem bolíviai ügyvédet, aki Fiúka gyilkosainak kézrekerítésére Bolíviában a pert elindítja. Most mégis jelentkezett valaki, aki a kezdeti költségekre és a munkadíjára 3.000 USD-t kér. Tudom, ez nem nagy összeg pl. egy 100 milliós végkielégítéshez viszonyítva, csak nekem elérhetetlen, mivel még mindig a temetés költségeivel, a boncolás, valamint az erről készült jegyzőkönyv fordításainak költségeivel bajlódok.
Az, hogy Fiúka meggyötört, meggyalázott teste itthon nyugodhat, egy megtörtént csoda, mely jórészt a nagylelkű adományozóknak, valamint a Magyar Vöröskereszt (az adományok gyűjtésében kifejtett) hathatós segítségének köszönhető, és meg is köszönöm ismét mindenkinek.
Fiúka lelke azonban nem tud megnyugodni, mert életében az egyik dolog, ami foglalkoztatta: hogy hová lett az igazság?
Most tehát ismét egy csoda beteljesítésére kérem mindazokat, akik velem együtt szívszorongva várják, hogy az igazságra fény derüljön, és egy kisstílű, véreskezű dél-amerikai gazember, a kommunista diktátor Evo Morales – aki egy másik gazember, Hugo Chavez oldalszelében lavírozva követi el (egyelőre büntetlenül) az emberek és az emberiség elleni bűntetteit -, és gyilkos bandája felelősségre vonása elkezdődhessen.
Pénzbeli támogatást a következő számlaszámokra szíveskedjenek eljuttatni:
Belföldről: OTP 11773119-00055268-00000000
Külföldről: IBAN: HU49 1177 3119 0005 5268 0000 0000
Szívesen fogadnék egyéb felajánlásokat is: értékesebb (pl. aláírt) könyvet, festményt, CD-t vagy egyéb tárgyat, melyet licitálásra bocsájtanék (e-mail címem: email@example.com).
Arra biztatok előadókat, együtteseket, zenekarokat, hogy (lehetőségeik szerint) szervezzenek Fiúka emlékére előadásokat, és ezek bevételének egy részét – vagy egészét – is felajánlhatnák a cél érdekében.
"A világ egy életveszélyes hely. De nem is annyira a gonoszok miatt, akik alakítják, hanem inkább azok miatt, akik tetteiket elnézik, és engednek nekik." - mondta Albert Einstein.
Kérek mindenkit, aki teheti: ne engedjen a gonoszoknak, és segítsen abban, hogy a világ mindenki számára egy jobb, biztonságosabb és igazságosabb hely legyen.

Budaházy's nomination forms have been rejected
Read more!
The election committee rejected György Budaházy's nomination forms, effectively banning him to run for office in the national election.
According to the law, each candidate must hand in, at least 750 nomination forms collected from citizens during the pre-election campaign, to be able to run for office. Budaházy's team managed to collect 861 nomination forms; however, the election committee found only 640 valid forms, among the 861 handed in that are less than required by the law.
Budaházy's campaign team was shocked by the decision of the committee. The strangest thing about the case is that before handing in the forms, legal experts examined each nomination slip and found no formal error, in any of them.
Most of the rejected forms, seemed to be filled out intentionally erroneously, as the majority of the errors involved wrong addresses, misspelled names and identification numbers. These kinds of errors are so unique that they are raising the question of potential interference into the nomination process by an outside force.
It is unlikely, that hundreds of people misspelling their own names or addresses, unless, they are doing so, intentionally.
According to leaked reports, Fidesz might have been behind the scheme. Budaházy's campaign team said that there were indications that an organized group of fidesz supporters handed in the erroneously filled nomination forms, in order to prevent Budaházy from running for office.
Probably, we will never know the truth in this case, but one has to ask the question, "Who benefited?". Obviously, letting Budaházy campaign during the remaining three weeks, would have been against Fidesz interests, because the patriot could have had a mobilizing effect in a certain segment of society not sympathetic to the Fidesz vision of the future preventing Fidesz's plan to get absolute majority in the next parliament.
Family members and the campaign team are stunned by the decision

All-in-One-PC from Shuttle gets a huge makeoverSaturday, March 20, 2010
Read more!
Elmshorn, Germany, 16th March 2010. Shuttle Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of multi-form-factor solutions such as the world-famous XPC Mini-PC Barebones, is announcing the sales launch of a new All-in-One-PC. The second version of the X50 promises impressive, improved features and additional functions.
Almost one year after its successful introduction, the X50V2 Barebone is now being launched and will also be offered in future as a complete system, with a choice of Windows 7 or Linux
Lower energy consumption is just one of the many advantages of the successor to the original.

New features include one parallel and two serial interfaces on the back of the X50V2, which make it considerably more attractive for special applications. The practical webcam, integrated stereo loudspeakers, WLAN (N), card reader and stand, which can be turned into a carrying handle, are also available with it. The standardised VESA mounting interface allows it to be fitted to monitor arms and wall mounts for freely suspended use of the device.
The new Shuttle X50V2 Barebone is available in black or white and is on sale now. Shuttle's recommended retail price is 353 euros (without VAT).

Jobbik wants motherhood to become a full time job
Read more!
Jobbik is working on a comprehensive plan that tackles the problem of the decreasing birth rate of the country threatening the future sustainability of economic growth. Since 1980, the birth rate of Hungarian families are on the decline and so far, no government had the courage to attack the issue head on.
Because of the urgency of the problem, Jobbik formed a group called "Népesedéspolitikai Munkacsoport" made up by experts working on possible solutions of all the issues involved in the project. The plan is that by the time Jobbik gets into the parliament, the proposals should be ready to be tabled to the parliament for further discussion.
The plan foreshadows a paradigm shift in stimulating healthy population growth in Hungarian society.
There are plenty of creative ideas flying around how to encourage families to give birth to more children; one of them is making motherhood a full time job. Experts also want to make sure that such a system cannot be abused by certain groups that got used to making a living out of producing children by the truckload rather than participating in productive activities. Because of these concerns, the plan includes built in filters that exclude the potential abusers from the system.
The workgroup is proposing to provide child support payment to families, in the form of cheques or cash, only up to three children; beyond that support would be given, as tax deduction. The workgroup also proposing that social assistance to poor families should be given in the form of credit, rather than in direct payments. Special credit cards could be used only in designated stores and could be exchanged for food and other essential products a family needs; alcohol and other toxic substances could not be purchased with these cards. In a certain respect, the proposal is similar to the American system of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program based on food stamps.
In addition to the proposed changes in child support system, Jobbik also wants supporting families living in the country side by allowing working adults to pay into their parents retirement plan through tax deductions. This way, families with three or more children could expect, potentially more secure and prosperous retirement years for themselves than those with one or no children, at all.
Jobbik would find the money to finance the program by rationalizing family support system and eliminating abusers from the process.
The plan is still a work in progress and it will be released, later, when all aspects of the proposals will be hammered out. Experts are understanding that such a program won't be profitable in the short run, but investing into a comprehensive family support system worth the price, because it will pay off in the long run.

Reports about Israeli spy planes entering Hungary follow mysterious killing of Syrian in Budapest
By Attila Somfalvi
Two Israeli aircraft appearing to be spy planes flew near Budapest's international airport last week but did not land there, Hungarian media reported Thursday.
According to the reports, the planes were on a "spy mission" that may be connected to the assassination of a Syrian national in his vehicle Wednesday in the Hungarian capital.
The two Gulfstream planes, reportedly equipped with the IDF's finest intelligence means, flew through Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania before entering Hungary's airspace, the media outlets said. The aircraft were said to leave Hungary after completing their mission, without ever landing in the country.
Responding to media questions, a spokesman for the Hungarian Defense Ministry said that the Israeli planes were on a diplomatic mission.
Meanwhile, the Hungarian Foreign Ministry said that air traffic in the country is under the jurisdiction of the local aviation authority. The Ministry refused to address questions regarding the nature of the mission that prompted the Israeli planes to arrive in Hungary.
The identity of the Syrian national assassinated in Budapest had not yet been published. Hungarian police officials said an unknown assassin shot the 52-year-old Syrian while he was driving his car. The shooter grabbed a black briefcase from the vehicle before fleeing the scene of the attack, police said.

Magdi Rúzsa was shocked by police brutality, in 2006
Read more!
Magdi will vote, for the first time in national election after getting her Hungarian citizenship, a few months ago. Now, she can freely voice her opinion about national issues and indeed, in her first public statement, she unequivocally denounced the extreme brutality, by which the criminal Gyurcsany regime cracked down on peaceful protesters, in the fall of 2006.
Magdi also found it outrageous that the regime campaigned against giving citizenship for Hungarians living in the lost territories, during the referendum, in 2005.
Magdi was the winner of Megastar song contest and represented Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki, Finnland.
According to Magdi, giving Hungarian citizenship to residents, in the lost territories is an emotional issue. They don't want to take advantage of the Hungarian social system but for them, the citizenship represents the feeling of belonging together.
The treasonous Gyurcsany regime knew this very well, that's why it campaigned so viscously against the motion of the citizenship act. The aim of the Gyurcsany regime was to disrupt this spiritual bond and create divisions between Hungarians living in the lost territories and those living in Hungary.
Despite the fact that Magdi comes from a Hungarian family living in Serbia, she had to go through humiliating procedures to get her Hungarian citizenship. She had to prove that she went Hungarian school and even her grandfather's birth certificate was rejected by authorities, at one point.
Let's hope, she knows which party is behind the issues important to her when casting her first vote, on April 11.

About "Rovásírás"
"Rovásírás" or the cuneiform alphabet was used by ancient Hungarians before coming to the Carpathian basin. In ancient times, the alphabet was carved in wood and was written from left to right. After, Hungarians settled in the Carpathian basin the ancient characters were replaced by the Latin alphabet, as a result of pressure from the Church; the Church considered the ancient alphabet, as being part of the pagan symbolism and by all means wanted to eradicate it. This interference with the ancient Hungarian heritage was echoed in the laws of St. Istvan, the first, Christian king of Hungary.
"A régi magyar betűk és vésetek, a jobbról balra való pogány írás megszüntetődjék és helyébe latin betűk használtassanak… A beadott iratok és vésetek tűzzel-vassal pusztíttassanak el, hogy ezek kiirtásával a pogány vallásra emlékezés, visszavágyódás megszüntetődjék".
Despite the efforts to eradicate the "symbols of Satan", "Rovásírás" lived on. The proof of this can be traced back in the decree of King Mathias, in 1478: "a falusi bírák kötelesek minden vármegyében a rovásnyeleket lajstromokban a megye elé terjeszteni".
The effort to completely wipe out, even the memory of the ancient Hungarian alphabet sped up during the Habsburg era. The Habsburgs to break the spirit of the country, sent foreign agents, camouflaged as linguists to Hungary to argue against the existence of the ancient script.
However, archaeological sites kept turning up fresh evidences about the existence of "Rovásírás"; even the most sinister efforts by the Habsburgs and later the communists couldn't brake the spirit of determined linguists and archaeologists that worked parallel to the "official directives" and continued researching the subject that still going on. Among the most respected experts of the field are: Bakay Kornél, Németh Gyula, Ferenczi Géza, Vékony Gábor, Forrai Sándor and Varga Géza.
After the fall of communism, globalist forces and their local agents continued their efforts to silence the ever increasing number of experts devoted to the research of "Rovásírás". For globalists the very existence of the ancient script posing a threat that goes against their efforts to falsify history. The goal is to eliminate nation states and produce engineered human beings without identity and sense of history; individuals without roots can be controlled and enslaved with no effort, for the benefit of a small elite maintaining the finances of the world.
However, people are awakening and getting engaged in the study of history that has been misrepresented so many times in the past. A new generation has grown up in the wake of the pioneers that worked day and night to codify the rules of the ancient alphabet. Equipped with this new knowledge, supporters of "Rovásírás" started transliterating the most popular novels and poems into the ancient script. Today, more and more children learning the ancient characters and the number of people getting familiar with "Rovásírás" are growing.
Jobbik made clear that in power, the party will implement "Rovásírás" in the curriculum of elementary schools and make the subject mandatory for every students.
It seems that neither the Church, nor the Habsburgs or the communists could stop researchers to uncover the true history of the nation and challenge the lies that foreigners and their local agents introduced into national conciseness.
From this point of view, things look good. The globalists made a mistake; they tried to jam lies down the throat of people that backfired. People are waking up to the truth and realizing the lies and the deceit of manufactured history. Lies need time to work their magic in the substance they are introduced into. Indoctrination takes time and subtlety. The popularity of "Rovásírás" benefited from the misconceived effort to silence Rovás' supporters. The case proved once again that "The Lord works in mysterious ways".

Poland and Hungary should join forces and fight for minority rights in the regionTuesday, March 16, 2010
Read more!
Andzelika Borys, the leader of the Polish community in Belarus (Union of Poles in Belarus) said the situation of the Polish minority in Belarus and the Hungarian minorities in the neighbouring countries have certain similarities and it would be important that the two governments join forces in solving minority issues in the region.
In an interview with Magyar Hirlap, Ms. Borys outlined the situation of the Polish minority in Belarus. The Union of Poles in Belarus (Polish: Związek Polaków na Białorusi) has a membership of 20,000 representing the Polish minority numbering about 400,000, as per official data (and much higher according to unofficial estimates).
Under the dictatorial regime of Alexander Lukashenko, the Polish minority is under tremendous pressure and recently, the Belorussian regime cracked down on the organization calling Ms. Borys a radical.
After the second world war, the eastern border of Poland was changed and a significant number of her former citizens became residents of the Soviet Union. The number of people of Polish ancestry living in Belarus are roughly the same as the size of Hungarian minority in Slovakia.
According to Ms. Borys, people of Polish descent living in Belarus are considered second class citizens; her organization is prosecuted because the group identified itself, as an independent organization. The main goal of her group is to maintain Polish culture and tradition, in Belarus; they are operating, in accord with the Belorussian constitution.
Unlike the treasonous Gyurcsany – Bajnai regime that never helped the Hungarian minority fighting for its constitutional rights in the neighbouring countries, the Polish government stood up against the oppressive Belorussian regime trying to ban the Union of Poles in Belarus. According to Ms. Borys, without this support her organization would not have survived.
She said the Belorussian regime afraid of making minority issues an international affair. She is hoping that the European Union will put pressure on the Belorussian government because this is the only approach the regime understands.
She said it would be important that the Hungarian government support the Polish government in defending minority rights, in the region because the situation of the Polish minority in Belarus and the Hungarian minorities in the neighbouring countries are in many respects similar. (Note: Obviously, under the criminal Gyurcsany – Bajnai regime this kind of cooperation between the two governments have zero chance, but changes are coming; theres is reason to be optimistic)
Poland has sizable minorities (250,000) living in Lithuania, and 150,000 in Ukraine; however, unofficially, more than a million Ukrainian citizens have Polish ancestry. The Polish minority in Ukraine suffers from the same linguistic restrictions like the Hungarian minority, as the Ukrainian government curbed the use of mother tongue, in educational institutions.

Balázs Sziva and his band is extremely popular among young people and he is a regular participant of patriotic events. He has been actively supporting the release of political prisoners and helping to raise money for the Foundation for Legal Defence of Hungarians Rights, an organization helping the defense of political prisoners.

WARRENSBURG - The Warrensburgh Historical Society is seeking former workers who were employed in the town's once numerous mills and factories.
The Society is planning to host an informal gathering of those workers, family members and the general public, for a reminiscence of times past. The event will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 24 at the Warrensburgh Museum of Local History on Main St.
Warrensburg has a rich history of manufacturing, at its peak employing well over 1,000 men and women in water-powered factories and mills that lined the Schroon River.
The jobs are gone, but some of those workers can still remember the hard work and long hours, but also the pride they felt in the product, whether it was a fine shirt or huge rolls of paper, Museum Director Steve Parisi said. There was also camaraderie among the workers, often with multiple generations of the same families working side by side, he said.
As one of them quipped, the Warrensburgh Historical Society is finally "putting its priorities in order" while there is still people to remember those days, mostly a half-century or more ago, when the wheels and gears were turning and the noon whistle meant something other than a reminder to check your watch, Parisi said. Younger members of the community are invited to eavesdrop on their conversations, he said. The event's format will be open to allow the participants to follow their own recollections. Questions from the audience will be encouraged.
Mother nature was generous to Warrensburg, Parisi said, providing a 70-foot drop in the Schroon River's elevation in the three-mile stretch of the river that bisects the town. The first mills were, sawmills in the late 18th century, followed by a grist mill built in 1824 which still stands, but with another function. Vestiges of the vast tannery, which closed in 1885, are gone - along with all of its employees. The woolen mill, noted for pants and coats, closed its doors in the mid-930s. The grist mill, pulp and paper mill and the shirt factory continued operations into the mid-20th century.
The gathering of workers is expected to last until 4:30 p.m. Following the program a special discount is being offered to attendees at Lizzie Keays Restaurant, located in the recently renovated former shirt factory building on River St. The memory of shirt factory workers, including Lizzie Keays, is honored by the restaurant.
The Warrensburgh Museum of Local History is located at 3754 Main St. Parking and a fully handicap accessible entrance are at the rear of the building. The program is free and all are welcome. For details, contact the Museum at 623-2928 or 623-2207.

I am very pleased to have been invited by the Professional Development group of PRSA to present my presentation "Building Trust in Media Maelstrom" as a teleseminar on May 1. This is similar to the presentation I did at last year's PRSA International Conference that appeared to be very well received.
I'd love to have you join us on the call so if interested, here is how to register.
As the teaser for this seminar, PRSA says those who attend will learn:
The two essentials of building trust.
The three drivers of today's communications and why ignoring them is a recipe for failure.
The four critical steps of crisis communication planning.
If you are a frequent crisisblogger reader, you can probably identify each of these items. In fact, I'll send a free copy of my book Now Is Too Late2 to any crisisblogger reader who correctly identifies the two, three and four "secrets" referenced above. Hope to see you on the call.

On Hiatus
Saturdays, 8:00 PM ET on TLC
60 minutes
The Emmy-nominated home-renovation series has gone from cult favorite to breakout hit. The setup: Two pairs of friends swap houses and work with a designer and a carpenter for two days to remodel a room on a set budget, with a bubbly host overseeing the proceedings. Of course, some results are more sensational than others, and that's part of the fun in this much-imitated series. 'Trading Spaces' and its two spin-offs ('Boys vs. Girls' and 'Family') are based on the British show 'Changing Rooms.'

I am being ambitious and have begun working on my Christmas presents BEFORE Thanksgiving. I am usually the person who is scrambling around two weeks before Christmas having to endure holiday shopping and traffic. I purchased my Dad's present online earlier today, began making his girlfriend's present and also started my Grandmother and Grandfather's presents.
I decided to make my Dad's girlfriend a nice scarf, seeing as though I don't see her too often, a super elaborate gift would just be awkward. I searched everywhere for a pattern that I considered nice enough and finally found one on Ravelry. Thankfully it was free and is surprisingly quick and easy to crochet. The pattern can be found here however, I don't know if that link will work unless you log in to Ravelry. It is the Queen Anne's Lace Scarf.
I'm using Bernat Mosaic in Medusa to make it, and it makes such a nice fall scarf. The colors are great. Here are some in progress pics...
I can't figure out why this top picture is so dark. Maybe my hand blocked the flash. Gah. Either way, the colors are more truly represented in the bottom picture!
I also began some star shaped, Penn State colored dishcloths for my Grandparents but no pictures of them yet! Hopefully tomorrow I will finish the scarf, complete a dishcloth and begin working on Leonidas the Lion, a pattern I just purchased from Delicious Crochet!

Blackpool manager Gary Bowyer was left disappointed with his defence after watching his side concede a stoppage time equaliser in the 2-2 draw against Exeter City.
Reuben Reid headed home at the death to secure a point for the Grecians, who are now unbeaten at St James Park since November.
It meant Pool squandered a 2-0 lead for the second week running, with goals from Colin Daniel and Brad Potts not enough to secure a vital away win.
When asked if the defence is the problem, he said: "Well we've come away from home, scored two goals and still not won the game.
"That's the major disappointment, the two goals. They're poor defensive goals and especially the second one."
But the Pool boss was more than happy to heap praise on the 228 travelling Blackpool fans, adding: "My disappointment is certainly not with the supporters because once again it was an unbelievable effort from them to come all this way.
"The frustration and the disappointment is certainly not with them.
"I'm massively frustrated for them. Don't get me wrong they'll go away and say we played well, scored two good goals but we should have won the game.
"At the end of the day, we've not done that and it's been our undoing."
MATCH REPORT: Exeter 2-2 Blackpool
Bowyer was visibly despondent at the final whistle and opted to use several one-word answers when questioned in his post-match interview.
When asked what he made of the game, he said: "It was a draw today."
How disappointing was it to squander a 2-0 lead?: "Very."
When asked to comment on Brad Potts' goal and assist, he said: "He did very well with it, you're correct."
Asked if the draws are the problem, he said: "Yeah."
How do you rectify the draws? he replied: "By winning games."

A friend of mine recently gifted this amazing antique glider to our family.
Her Mom had slip covered it for her and I decided I would try to do the same (leaving the red and white underneath, in case we do some redecorating in the next year or two :))
I started by laying out the cushions on the fabric and tracing around the edge – giving an extra inch or so around each cushion (for the side part of the cushion/seam allowance).
(I think the seat looks like a loaf of bread….) Don't forget two pieces of fabric for each cushion!
I was hesitant to use this dark of fabric with our notoriously hairy cat, but there is no way she will jump on this glider – the moment it starts rocking she would freak! David suggested this color and I'm so glad we decided to go with it.
I sewed both sides together inside out, leaving the straight side at the bottom/back of each cushion open.
Then it was "fitted" and by fitted – I mean, put on the cushion inside out and deciding which areas needed to be brought in a little. I'm not a perfectionist when it comes to covers – especially with this fabric being a Kona cotton and not a heavy upholstery fabric – it was destined to show lines. You can be as picky as you like… 😉
I also wanted to put ties on the top of the back cushion (as had been done before). So I cut some two inch strips and basically made them into bias tape. Looking for a good bias tape tutorial? Head over to MADE and check out Dana's amazing videos. I can NOT get enough of her fantastic tutorials.
Then I went singer stitch crazy, and found a fun stitch to close it up with. I took two of each strip and put them at about 10 and 2 o'clock on the rounded top part of the cushion. I chose to attach these ties as I sewed the back cushion pieces together – it worked out well!
After I was happy with the fit, I hemmed the bottom. Notice I left the bottom open.
The seamstress before me had closed the back of each cushion by hand stitching, but I really want to be able to take the covers off and wash them… So for right now, I'm leaving them open, with an intent to eventually sew on some velcro for easy on/off.
And there it is! (with one of my Koi pillows)
I also made a… cough… quick stop to my local quilt/fabric shop, Intown Quilters, and picked up a few fat quarters (as well as the Kona that I used for the slip cover). Here's a quick Fabric Friday for you.
Top: Pretty sure that first one is Kaffe Fasset (Sadly no detailed selvage on this one!), Kona Solid
Middle: Gem Tones Color Story by Michael Miller (both)
Bottom: Grey, Fox and the Houndstooth – Andie Hanna for Robert Kaufman
I can not pick a favorite, though I am a sucker for foxes… I'm looking forward to using these for some fun new projects coming up!
What have you been working on? Any projects on your horizon?
So I met up with a new client a few weeks ago. She was looking for a few pillow covers and… A bench slipcover. So I did what any sane amateur sewist would do – I ran home and googled it.
And I found this wonderful tutorial!!!
Thank you, Señor Google.
So here's how it went:
I got the measurements for the large rectangle that I would need and hemmed each side ahead of time.
My client wanted a ribbon to go all the way around, 1 " from the bottom of the slip cover – so I put it on right after the hem. Save the headache it would have been later. (Note – It still ended up being a little bit of a headache later because I mismeasured and had to recut, rehem, take off ribbon, resew ribbon because one side was too long! Two hours later…) The moral of the story is – lay your fabric out on the floor, put bench cushion side down and measure how many inches you want from the edge of the bench… so wish I would have paid attention to that – for both of the slipcovers I did!)
I find that the first time I do a new sewing project it takes at least double the time it should. Maybe I'm still too much of a perfectionist, but I want it to look good, darn it! The other aspect of this project that made it difficult – the ribbon that was not on the hem, the fabric was super heavy, and I was making it for a client, which adds to the stress level and that "I want my client to love this" mentality.
Want to make a slipcover? Here were my big takeaways –
- Measure with bench face to the floor (save yourself half an hour to two hours of remeasuring, taking out stitches, etc.). Measure out 8 inches from each side (or less or more based on how long you want your cover to be). Don't forget to account for a hem!
- Hint – If you put ribbon or some sort of border on – no hemming necessary.
- Tighten the corners with the right side of the fabric facing the bench, wrong side out. Pin and check to see if it's tight enough before you go to sew. Then recheck after you've sewn.
- Go for super tight sides by tweaking (pinning & re-sewing closer), even after sewing your triangles originally. It really makes the cover look sharp.
5. But flowy sides can still look good! (With the purple slip cover I did the hem last – with the white I hemmed it first)
Have you ever made a slipcover before? Any tips? Do you hem first or hem after you've done the corners?

Knowing many of you care about the written word and the writing world, I wanted to bring an article to your attention entitled "Finding the Right Words To Remember Him" by Sally Jenkins in today's Washington Post.
Jenkins fondly shares her memories of Edwin "Bud" Shrake, known for his work in Sports Illustrated and "Harvey Penicks' Little Red Book," the best-selling sports book of all time.
Jenkins says Bud followed the writing advice of Rudyard Kpling, who insisted that "to write means to be patiently ruled by the subconscious: 'You wait, you listen, you obey.'"
She honors him with her description that he "didn't write pretty, he wrote true Sort of the same way his friend Willie Nelson would transform country music and the way people sang."
Take a moment to check it out. It's an eloquent piece including Jenkins' fond farewell to Shrake's and her belief that his epitaph ought to be, "He did everything he wanted to, and nothing he didn't."

I always say that anyone who is interested in living a better life should have an interest in having a stronger body. A stronger body will make you more resistant to injury and will help you immensely in your day-to-day activities. Of course, if you want a stronger body, you need a stronger grip; your hands act as the link between the power of your body and the weight, thus your gripping strength must be developed in order to raise the heaviest weight loads possible.
Most people are oblivious as to how to build their hand grip strength, and silly wrist raises won't cut it to build strong hands. Ergo, allow me to introduce to you 3 hand grip exercises that will build your grip and hand strength and thus have a direct carryover to your ability to hoist bigger weights: rack holds, plate pinches and one-arm rows.
Hand Grip Exercise 1 – Rack holds
This is a favourite exercise of mine that was practised by the strongmen of back in the day to build tremendous grip power. Load a barbell inside a power rack to a weight that equates 1.25x of your best deadlift (or 2x of your barbell rows if you don't do deadlifts). The barbell should be placed at a height in which you have to minimally bend down to grab the barbell; about mid-thigh will do. Grab the barbell with a shoulder-wide grip (same grip as deadlift/barbell rows), stand up with the barbell, lock the shoulders and hold the barbell for as long as you can. Do the exercise for 2 hold sets and time how long you can hold the barbell for in each of the 2 sets.
Do not use a mixed grip, straps or hook grip to do the rack holds. Your grip should be overhand (knuckles facing away from you like in the power clean) and your goal is to every week add a few seconds to each set (from the previous week's times). This exercise is most convenient to do inside a power rack although you can also do it using boxes or a conventional rack to have the barbell at the suitable height (mid thigh). Alternatively, you can use the Smith machine to do the rack holds, or you can grab 2 of the flashiest personal trainers that walk around your gym with their chest inflated and the word COACH written on their T-shirts, and you can use them as stands to support the loaded barbell (OK, only half joking with this last alternative).
Hand Grip Exercise 2 – Plate pinches
This hand grip exercise is a killer that especially builds your finger-pinching power. Grab a pair of weight plates, pinching each plate with each hand so that your thumb is one one side of the plate and your other 4 fingers are on the other side of the plate. Stand up with the plates on your sides (arms fully extended) and pinch the plates with your fingers hard. Hold the pinching until your grip fails, making sure to deposit the plates on the floor carefully so as to not have them fall on your feet or break them.
Do 2 sets of plate pinches and, like with rack holds, aim to add a few seconds every week to your previous week's times. Introduce yourself to this exercise by first pinching a 25lbs plate for each hand and work over time to a 45lbs plate for each hand. You can also stack 2x 25lbs plates for each hand and stack even more plates, but first start with a single 25lbs plate for each hand and gradually increase your holding time and weight load.
Hand Grip Exercise 3 – One arm rows
While one-arm rows develop much more than your grip, they are a very rare hand grip exercise that will allow you to build your grip unilaterally. Using a bench for support, place a loaded dumbbell on the left side of the bench. Bend down while keeping your back flat and parallel to the floor, and grab the dumbbell with your left hand; use your right hand and knee for support on the bench. Pull the dumbbell up to the chest, then return the dumbbell to the floor (one rep). Do 12 reps on your left side and then another 12 reps for your right side (place dumbbell on right side of bench and use right hand). Do 2 sets, with one set being 12 reps done one both sides.
One-arm rows should be included on the day of the week that you do your back workout; alternatively, you can do this hand grip exercise on the day that you do most of your pulling work (e.g. deadlift day). You should aim to do 1 rep more every week until you get to 20 reps for each of the 2 sets; then add 10lbs more and start again from 12 reps. See the video below for an illustration on how to do this exercise:
Overall, these 3 hand grip exercises will directly build your grip strength like no other. They are exercises that require no extraordinary apparatuses than those that you'd find in a conventional gym, so these exercises are quite convenient. Work them hard and you will be rewarded with a much stronger grip that will help you hoist bigger weights in other exercises!

Dr. Carmella's Guide to the Introverted is a very astute webcomic by Schroeder Veidt.
Below the comic I've also embedded a TED talk by Susan Cain who talks about how extrovert behaviour has come to be considered the norm and how introverts can (often unknowingly) make self-negating choices in an effort to fit into society better.

Year 13 drama and theatre studies pupils at Woldgate College performed their final piece of practical work to the moderator.
This performance contributes to 40% of their final A2 mark, and 20% of their final A-level. Since January, the six pupils have been working extremely hard on creating this piece of devised theatre and it is fair to say that, at times, they have found it a challenging and frustrating process. However, their commitment to the work has been outstanding and the finished product was an incredibly powerful and thought-provoking piece of theatre.
The brief for this performance was that pupils must devise, from scratch, a piece of theatre in a performance style of their choice, and choose an issue or subject that they feel passionate about and which suits their chosen performance style. As ever, the pupils were extremely ambitious, and took on the sensitive and complex issue of mental health and the impact that mental illness can have on the people closest to the sufferer.
They chose to devise in the style of physical theatre, where there is an emphasis on the use of movement to create meaning. This style was used in their piece to explore the inner state and the true feelings of the characters, beyond the words they may choose to say to each other. There were some breath-taking movement sequences, which combined beautifully with the music and lighting, and the pupils transformed themselves into precise and well-drawn characters who evoked sympathy and empathy from the audience. Their hard work and talent was rewarded with an outstanding set of marks, with every student achieving a top band mark.
A spokesperson for the school said: "We are delighted for the pupils and incredibly proud of what they have achieved. Well done."
