HUNGARIAN CREW VIOLINIST SANDOR FEHER PULLED DEAD FROM THE COSTA CONCORDIA SHIPWRECK

Sandor Feher, the Crew Violinist, has been found dead inside the Costa Concordia cruise ship, which is half submerged off the coast of Italy. This international news has been all over the media, including the net, and sadly it appears that there are some bodies in the wreck still. From the Albany New York Times Union Newspaper, I provide the link to the whole story above.

"Jozsef Balog, a pianist who worked with Feher on the ship, told the Blikk newspaper that Feher was wearing a lifejacket when he decided to return to his cabin to pack his violin. Feher was last seen on deck en route to the area where he was supposed to board a lifeboat... According to Balog, Feher helped put lifejackets on several crying children before returning to his cabin."

NEW CONSTITUTION OF HUNGARY : PRESIDENT VICTOR ORBAN MOVES AHEAD THOUGH ACCUSED OF BEING UNDEMOCRATIC

HUNGARY AND EUROPEAN UNION : THE FLORINT IN TROUBLE

The United States is in financial trouble - an understatement - just ask the seniors who lived through the first Great Depression. Of course Europe is in trouble too, and that includes Hungary, where the florint, the national currency has hit historical lows in the first weeks of the new year. In this Rueter's breaking news article, by writers Gergely Szakacs and Krisztina Than, the demands of the European Union and others when it comes to lending Hungary money, are seen my some as an attack on Hungary's own self rule. Linking to it at the title above.

Just checking, as I do, once in a while, to see where my readership is coming from, and I am surprised and delighted to know that there are people in countries other than the United States, Canada, Australia, and Hungary and the old Austrian Empire, who are checking in.

Welcome, and I wish you all happiness at this time and in the New Year.

CONSTITUTION OF HUNGARY as of JANUARY 1 2012

Constitution of Hungary link above! HERE IS JUST A SMALL PART OF WHAT IT SAYS!
"We acknowledge the role Christianity has played in preserving our nation. We respect all our country’s religious traditions.

We promise to preserve the intellectual and spiritual unity of our nation, torn apart by the storms of the past century.
We consider the nationalities and ethnic groups living in Hungary to be constituent parts of the Hungarian nation.
We pledge to cherish and preserve our heritage: the Hungarian culture, our unique language, and the man-made and natural riches of the Carpathian Basin. We recognise a bond of duty towards our nation’s future generations; we shall therefore strive to preserve and enhance the circumstances of those who come after us by sound management of our material, intellectual and natural resources.
We believe that our national culture makes a rich contribution to the diversity of a unified
Europe."
