WHEN Steve Valiotis chose the name for his new real-estate company in 1983, he picked the word ''alma,'' Greek for leap or jump. Mr. Valiotis hoped Alma Realty would be the base for a dramatic rise for his career after a few years of joining partners in making real-estate investments in Manhattan. The leap has come to pass, he says, but the biggest part has occurred not in Manhattan but in the Astoria section of Queens, where he and other Americans of Greek origin or descent continue to make a striking impact on business life and real estate activity even as the ethnic composition of Astoria grows more diverse.
As a citadel of Greek-Americans in New York City, Astoria has been infused in recent years with new immigrants from Bangladesh, the Philippines, Ireland, Colombia, India, China, the Dominican Republic and Pakistan, all of whom have been arriving in greater numbers than new immigrants from Greece.
No matter to Mr. Valiotis. He moved his business to Astoria in 1989, six years after founding Alma Realty, and last year he bought a vacant 36,000-square-foot garage building on 31st Street for expansion. The building stands in the very shadow of the 30th Avenue station of the elevated line that carries the N train through Astoria to its final stop at Ditmars Boulevard. Mr. Valiotis has resurrected it for office, store and garage space. Alma Realty's own office occupies the entire second floor. The first floor will have four stores.
''It's in my business interest being here, and it's my own community,'' said Mr. Valiotis. ''Astoria is close to Manhattan, it's close to the train. My bank is a few blocks away. My two kids go to school at St. Demetrios, a couple of blocks away. My costs are a third, a fourth of what they would be in Manhattan.''
The harmonious interplay of loyalty and self-interest is apparent in the accounts of the younger Greek-American brokers, investors, contractors, builders and business operators at work in Astoria, and is providing the impetus for commercial growth. Garages are becoming stores. Factory buildings are becoming offices. A catering hall becomes a night club. And in one case, a mixed-use building has provided apartments above a strip of new stores.Continue reading the main story
Even if the investors no longer live in Astoria, many of them seem to consider it home turf. As years go on, many who are or were residents build upon their Old World faith in real estate as an investment and put their money where their heart is.
''My parents were firm believers in real estate -- it's the Mediterranean attitude,'' said the American-born Nick Golfinopoulos. At the age of 32 he has already had a taste of development work in the reconstruction of a 10,000-square-foot site, where a garage building formerly stood, into commercial and residential space in partnership with his mother, who lives next door.
The second phase of their project -- apartments on the roof of the already completed stores, set back behind a broad terrace -- is about to be marketed, and the family is already planning a new project a few blocks away on 31st Avenue. ''Gradually we're hoping to do more sites in Astoria,'' Mr. Golfinopoulos said.
''We have in our mind that in real estate you never lose,'' said his mother, Ourania, a partner in the family business, Hermes Transport & Trading Corporation, which provides in-port transportation and other services to merchant vessels and seamen. ''You may make less money than in other things, but you never lose.''
One commercial developer who has already built up a few sites is Spiros Moshopoulos. Currently he is marketing the Apollonion Building, at 34-11 35th Avenue. It is a reconstruction of a factory that was once part of the Astoria Studios -- a filming and production center now rehabilitated and operated as the Kaufman Astoria Studios -- into a state-of-the-art office building, so far untenanted.
''In all Astoria there is not one modern office building,'' said Mr. Moshopoulos. ''It's all doctors on top of stores on Broadway, 30th Avenue and Steinway Street.''
Not entirely, perhaps, but certainly it is Astoria's vibrant commercial life that is the mark of those major streets. Parts of Astoria have become a regional draw through a Greek-oriented nightlife, especially on Broadway near the N train's 31st Street station. For local shopping, Steinway Street is still the main commercial thoroughfare, but for restaurants, cafes and night-time activities that draw Greeks and non-Greeks too, most of the action is on Broadway, and to a lesser degree on 30th Avenue and Ditmars Boulevard.
COMPLIMENTARY press accounts have helped draw a regional clientele recently to Uncle George's, a lively 24-hour Greek restaurant at Broadway and 34th Street. But the revelers in that vicinity do not overlook the many other eating and entertainment opportunities -- at the Grecian Cave, Z Disco, the Omonia Cafe, Kolonaki's (a year-old cafe), Akroyiali's (for seafood), Tierras Colombianos (Latin food; Greek ownership), the Galaxy Cafe, and the more upscale Karyatis Restaurant, with a pianist and singer.
They are all on the blocks between 31st Street and 36th Street on Broadway. Farther on, at 41st Street, is the Edelweiss Cafe. And a few blocks to the north, the recently opened Sirocco's, a nightclub just off the Grand Central Parkway on 25th Avenue and 49th Street, has been drawing regional customers to shows featuring a regularly changing cast of entertainers, sometimes flown in directly from Greece. The building had been used by a catering establishment until it was renovated last year.
''They've been packing 'em in on weekends,'' said Nick A. Andriotis, who is in charge of residential sales for Mr. Valiotis at Alma Realty. ''I would never have believed that second and third generation Greek-Americans, yuppies, would come back here from their houses on Long Island for entertainment on weekend nights.''
Mr. Andriotis embodies the progression found among Greek-Americans involved in real estate in Astoria. He emigrated to the United States 40 years ago at age 16. From a first job as an elevator operator at a Manhattan hotel at the age of 17, he found his way into the restaurant business, and is still the co-owner of one, the Art Cafe, at 52d Street and Broadway in Manhattan. He and his family live in a two-family house that he bought in Astoria 35 years ago. He has purchased a few condominiums purely for investment, he said.
The longterm movement of Greek immigrants has been from the west side of Manhattan between the 20's and 40's to Astoria, and from there to northern Queens or northern Long Island, demographers say. But even those who leave Astoria find their way back to the heartland on weekends for church attendance, shopping, night life or family events. Similarly, dispersed Chinese-Americans return to Chinatown; Italians from afar flock to the Arthur Avenue neighborhood of the Bronx.
Once the early Greek arrivals got to Astoria, they found that earlier waves of Irish, German and Italian immigrants had preceded them, said Frank Vardy, a demographer at the Department of City Planning. Many of the German immigrants came to work in the Steinway piano factory in Astoria.
But the earlier European immigrants are not being replaced by new immigrants from Europe because immigration law gives priority to reuniting families. That favors the more recent Asian and Hispanic arrivals, who still have close relatives in the home country.
The community's boundaries are generally accepted to be 35th Avenue on the south, 49th Street on the east, and the East River on the north and west. The area had a population of 142,400 in the 1990 census, the Planning Department reported. Census data show that 61.4 percent of the total were ''white non-Hispanics'' and 22 percent were Hispanics, but not all respondents report their ancestry.
However, said Mr. Vardy, 16,700 residents did report that their ancestry was Greek, second only to the 24,900 who said their forebears were Italian. Then came the Irish, at 12,900, and the German, 7,800.
Many of the immigrants eventually bought homes. Astoria had 2,900 owner-occupied housing units in 1990. Most of them are one- or two-family houses, but there are also many three- or four-family homes. The Greek American Home Owners Association in Astoria, believed to be the largest in the state, has 1,500 members, said George Alexiou, its president.
Rental occupancy is common in these houses, and rents are unregulated since the buildings have fewer than six dwelling units. As owner-occupants get older and move away or die, many of the larger houses are sold to investment buyers, or else held by relatives, for rental occupancy exclusively. These apartments help provide housing for many of the newer immigrants, who probably could not afford to buy. The new buyers often turn out to be local Greek-American business people. One such is Mr. Alexiou himself, who runs Alexiou Realty, a Century 21 firm. He owns four houses with rental apartments, as well as his own house.
But these days there are not many rental availabilities, the brokers say, because rising rents have slowed turnover. ''To move from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom you have to go from $500 a month to $700, so people don't move,'' said Charles Sciberras of the Re/Max Today agency on Steinway Street.
''People used to rent in Astoria and then they'd move to Manhattan after they got a job,'' said another broker, Ted Kouris of Metropolis Realty. ''Now they stay -- yuppies, Arabs, Bangladeshi. Last year was our strongest year ever because we had so few vacancies.''
In Astoria, one-bedrooms typically rent for $700 to $800 a month, two-bedrooms for $850 to $1,000 and three-bedrooms for $1,000 to $1,200 -- regardless of the type of building they are in, a four-family, eight-family, 25-family or 60-family, Mr. Kouris said.
Mr. Kouris himself is 38 years old and has been a homeowner in Astoria for 15 years. Both his parents are from Greece, but he was born in the United States. In addition to his own house, he owns two other Astoria properties -- a store with an apartment above and a two-family house.
IT is in pure commercial real estate that most of the larger investment activity is occurring. The people handling it are frequently Greek-Americans with a long association with Astoria.
Mr. Moshopoulos, 49, the developer of the Apollonion Building, came to the United States from Greece in 1970 at the age of 22, living at first with an uncle in the Jamaica section of Queens. ''At that time it was not easy in Greece,'' he said. ''I had the American dream. I wanted to work hard and be somebody.''
The hard work began in a friend's coffee shop. He bought out the friend after a year, bought another coffee shop, sold both shops, started driving a truck to supply diners and other restaurants, and finally bought a strip of stores in Astoria where there had been a fire. His plan was to rebuild the space and use half of it himself for short-term storage of tomatoes from Florida. The project introduced him to the construction business.
Since then he has expanded his ownership to include the entire blockfront of stores, on 34th Avenue at 28th Street, and also bought and rebuilt other stores in Woodside and put up a new 10-unit condominium called Pantheon House on 33d Street. He has his own construction company, the Thirty-four Square Corporation.
His most ambitious undertaking has been the Apollonion Building, a 48,000-square-foot structure at 35th Avenue at 34th Street. In the late 80's it was to have become a new headquarters building for the Atlantic Bank, a worldwide quasi-governmental Greek-owned financial institution with a several branches in Astoria. A change of government in Athens in 1990 led to a change in plans, however, and the bank put the building back on the market.
Mr. Moshopoulos bought it in 1994, installed his own offices and a bingo operation in a two-story 8,000-square-foot building on the property and moved ahead with the reconstruction under a plan by the Long Island City firm of Gribler Konnaris Associates. A corner of the building was carved out at 35th Avenue and 35th Street to create a grand entrance.
''The space works well for medical groups or law offices,'' said Joseph B. Eliasoph, a broker for Sholom & Zuckerbrot Realty Corporation, which is marketing the building. The likely major tenant is one such with a connection to the Greek community, he said.
Another route to commercial development was traveled by the Golfinopoulos family. Their mixed-use commercial and residential project at 23d Street and Broadway, next door to Mrs. Golfinopoulos's house, is in the rapidly developing western stretch of Astoria near Vernon Boulevard and the East River. Mr. Golfinopoulos and his three younger siblings were born in the United States of parents who emigrated in 1951. His parents were the ''quintessential immigrants who made good,'' he said.
His late father had been a radio officer on a Greek merchant ship. After his death in 1978, Mrs. Golfinopoulos sold the family house in Whitestone and bought one in Astoria next to the garage where Hermes Transport, the family business, kept its fleet of vehicles.
''We decided it was a huge waste -- we didn't need all that space for our vans and sedans,'' Mr. Golfinopoulos said. So the property was redeveloped in two stages, first with 9,600 square feet of stores on the ground level, and then with five apartments on the roof, work that could be done as-of-right under the prevailing Broadway zoning.
Construction is currently nearing completion, with high-polished granite flooring in the hallways and large rooftop terraces providing the appropriate quasi-Mediterranean touches. They are large apartments, the largest a three-bedroom renting for $1,275 a month. John Carusone of Long Island City is the architect.
Mr. Valiotis of Alma Realty was 26 years old when he arrived alone from Greece in 1972 to join a sister living in the Corona section of Queens. His first job was as a dishwasher in his brother-in-law's restaurant. Two years later he was making pizza in a pizza parlor.
He bought a newsstand near a railroad station, sold it two years later, opened a pizza place on 14th Street in Manhattan with friends, sold it in a few months, joined a friend in the furniture business, and stayed in it for 11 years. With his furniture partners, Richard Penzer and Bill Correa, he bought two empty loft buildings and renovated them to living lofts. The group also sponsored a handful of West Side co-op conversions.
''Then I came to Astoria,'' Mr. Valiotis said. ''I saw an opportunity in condominium conversions.'' He did three in Astoria -- plus three others in Flushing and two in Jackson Heights -- and he still owns and manages many unsold apartments in a portfolio of about 1,000 apartments in co-op or condominium buildings citywide.
In 1988 he and partners started the Marathon National Bank, an Astoria-based institution that competes with Atlantic Bank, along with Interbank and Olympian Bank, in the Greek-American community. He has built a new 14-unit condominium at 32d Avenue and 23d Street in Astoria, and has hopes of doing other development projects.
The opportunities for these are limited because undeveloped land is scarce. Many of the commercial projects therefore arise from the redevelopment of old stores for new tenants on the commercial strips of Steinway Street, Broadway, 30th Avenue and Ditmars Boulevard.
A Robbins health and beauty-aid store had been a fixture on Steinway Street for years. But the chain went into bankruptcy, and the store at 30-37 Steinway was closed. Now the landlord has made a deal with the Lerner's of New York chain, which will open a new store in about nine weeks, said Michael D. Friedman, of Clay-Daniel Associates of Bayside, the broker in the deal.
MEANWHILE, the management team of the original Robbins chain has opened a new store under the Robbins name at 30-18 Steinway Street. Tony Barsamian, chairman of the Steinway Street Business Improvement District, said that turnover of this kind was not unusual but that vacancies never lasted long.
As for sales of commercial properties, they are few and far between, according to George Stavroulakis, president of Neon Realty. ''We have buyers, but not many people are willing to sell,'' he said. One reason may be that long-time owners are unwilling to saddle themselves with the big capital gains taxes that arise from selling commercial property that has appreciated greatly in value over many years.
The tax, ironically, has emerged as one of the strongest arguments against the Old World pattern of investing in real estate as a method of assuring financial security in old age. James Korakis, 72, a small investor who came to the United States 42 years ago and started out working as a dishwasher and a cook, spoke of it bitterly.
Most of the assets that he accumulated for retirement, he said, are in two 20-family buildings that he bought in 1970. Now he would like to sell and get out of the business. But if he sells, Federal and other taxes will take away 44 to 48 percent of his gain, he said. ''This is the nightmare we face,'' said Mr. Korakis. ''This is the best country in the world. I used the opportunity it gave me. Now it's my time to move on to a normal life, but with the present circumstance of capital gain, I cannot do it. It is impossible, impossible.''Continue reading the main story

|California's death row
"When we were sentenced to death," wrote Carlos M. Argueta from death row in California, "we weren't sentenced to be mistreated, humiliated, discriminated against, psychologically tortured and kept in solitary dungeons until the day of our executions. Never once did the judge say that was to be part of our sentence." He was speaking about life in San Quentin State Prison's Adjustment Center, a "prison within a prison" with a name worthy of any fictional dystopia.
The Adjustment Center is at the epicenter of California's death row system, which The Atlantic recently called "simultaneously the most and least prolific wielder of the death penalty." Although the state continually metes out death sentences - there were 749 people awaiting execution last July, nearly twice as many as the next highest state - almost no one is executed. California held just 6 executions since the start of the 21st century, and none since 2006. In March of this year, The LA Times reported that death row at San Quentin - home to all men on death row in California - has literally run out of room.
The Adjustment Center, the harshest of the 3 death row units at San Quentin, is severe even compared to other segregation units in the California prison system and death row units in most other states. And California's long death row delays mean these exceptionally harsh conditions can last for decades.
The average time spent on death row in California was 16.1 years in 2013, and by the end of 2014, nearly 78 % of the male death row population had been there for 10 years or longer. Citing excessive delays, in 2008 the California Commission on the Fair Administration of Justice declared the state's death penalty system "dysfunctional."
And in a 2014 decision that found the system unconstitutional (the decision was overturned on procedural grounds in November), federal judge Cormac J. Carney declared that in California, "the death sentence carefully and deliberately imposed by the jury has been quietly transformed into one no rational jury or legislature could ever impose: life in prison, with the remote possibility of death."
A class action lawsuit filed in June 2015, Lopez v Brown, offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of the people who live in the Adjustment Center. Its 6 named plaintiffs - Bobby Lopez, Marco Topete, John Myles, Richardo Roldan, John Gonzales, and Ronaldo Medrano Ayala - allege their continued detention in the Adjustment Center violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment and the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. These men have been in the Adjustment Center for periods of time ranging from 3 to 26 years. Some received just one disciplinary write-up that affected their classification during that entire period, for participating in a peaceful hunger strike.
These men and their fellow Adjustment Center residents spend between 21 and 24 hours a day - often for years on end - inside cells roughly 6 by 9 feet, smaller than a standard parking spot. There is no natural light or airflow; temperatures in the cells fluctuate from very hot to very cold. Beds consist of a thin mattress on a steel or concrete slab. There are no chairs or desks in the cells.
According to the complaint, "When writing letters to loved ones, Roldan kneels on his shower shoes and uses his bunk as a table. Ayala fashions a seat out of the banker's boxes where he keeps his property. Gonzales and Topete sit on a blanket on the floor of their cells and write on their beds. For Topete, who has chronic back pain, sitting in that position becomes excruciating after 15 minutes. As a result, he can only write and research in brief increments."
Those living in the Adjustment Center are continually immersed in noise. The slamming of security gates and cell doors echo through the unit, exacerbated by high ceilings and enclosed steel cells. Residents are constantly shouting, banging, or screaming, either in desperate attempts to communicate with one another or as a primal response to their unbearable conditions. The racket continues around the clock: chronic sleep deprivation is one of many severe mental and physical health effects of long-term confinement in the Adjustment Center.
Access to healthcare of any kind is extremely limited, and in many circumstances nonexistent. When an Adjustment Center resident requests a medical appointment, it can take so long to materialize that in a letter to Solitary Watch, one resident quipped, "By the time you see a doctor your 24-flu has passed or you're about to pass."
Mental health assessments, when they occur at all, are often conducted through a cell door within earshot of guards and other residents. As sensitive health information can easily be used against them by guards and other prisoners, it is impossible for Adjustment Center residents to be honest about their mental health, and therefore impossible to receive appropriate treatment.
The same man quoted above commented, "I don't know the extent of my own mental damage but I do know more people have died on death row at San Quentin from suicide than execution." Indeed, suicide rates on death row are roughly 10 times greater than in society more broadly, and several times greater than in the general prison population.
California is one of the few states that keep people in segregation for alleged gang affiliation, divorced from any assessment of their actual behavior within prison. As a result, an individual who has never violated a prison rule can end up in the Adjustment Center for suspicion of current or former gang involvement. There is no process for reviewing alleged affiliation, and individuals can be held in the Adjustment Center for years on the flimsiest evidence. Some individuals are assumed to have gang allegiances simply because of their ethnicity or the region where they grew up.
Technically, Adjustment Center residents are entitled to a review of their placement every 90 days, but this rarely results in a transfer to East Block or North Segregation, San Quentin's other death row units. With no ability to disprove gang affiliations that were never proven in the first place, continued detention is almost a certainty.
Other residents were placed in the Adjustment Center for disciplinary infractions committed while in one of the other death row units. For these men as well, it is very challenging to get transferred out, even after long periods of violation-free behavior.
Adjustment Center residents are not allowed to engage in any educational, recreational, or vocational programming. They may leave their cells for just 5 reasons:
--Yard visits, at most 3 times per week for 3 hours each
--Showers, at most 3 times per week
--Medical visits
--Rare opportunities for visitors, which occur behind a dirty Plexiglas window through a poor quality 2-way intercom
--Visits to the law library, which can take several months to secure
Before and after any movement within the unit, men are routinely strip searched, often in front of other Adjustment Center residents and guards, even if they have not come into contact with anyone else during their time out of cell.
|San Quentin's death row
While in the yard, residents have access to small open yards or walk-alone cages (roughly twice as big as a cell), along with a few handballs and the occasional pull-up bar. Although yard time is a rare opportunity for Adjustment Center residents to interact with others, prisoners report that any interaction may be perceived by the guards as "gang activity" and used to justify keeping them in the Adjustment Center - so some residents choose not to interact.
In a letter to Solitary Watch, one Adjustment Center resident lamented the seeming interminability of the status quo: "What is happening today and tomorrow in solitary confinement is the same stuff which has taken place 10 and 15 plus years ago.
"In fact you will be able to find the same prisoners there in continuous solitary placement, subjected to the same inhumane conditions."
Adjustment Center residents - despite extremely restrictive conditions - joined prisoners statewide in peaceful hunger strikes in 2011 and 2013. Not only did the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) ignore the strikers' reasonable demands - access to recreation activities, increased ability to communicate with their families, meaningful review of their detention in the Adjustment Center - officials considered participation in the strike a disciplinary offense and used it to justify keeping participants in the Adjustment Center.
In a letter to Solitary Watch, one Adjustment Center resident expressed unwillingness to discuss other forms of non-violent activism for the same reason: peaceful acts of protest, he said, are "re-interpreted as a threat to security" and "written into the local rules to make non-violent acts of resistance [into] a 'rule violation.'"
The strikes did, however, succeed in bringing attention to conditions in California's prison system and exposing some cracks in its system of long-term solitary confinement. Over the past few years, several lawsuits have challenged the state's use of solitary confinement on and off death row, including Lopez v. Brown.
EmilyRose Johns, working on the Lopez case with the law firm Siegel & Yee, told Solitary Watch they are at a very early stage of settlement talks with CDCR. She noted that these talks are taking place "in the shadow of Ashker v. Brown," a related case that settled with CDCR in September. Although the Ashker settlement has no direct effect on Adjustment Center residents, it has significant implications for litigation and policy work to reform conditions on California's death row.
Ashker was a class action lawsuit filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on behalf of those who have spent a decade or more in solitary confinement in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) at California's Pelican Bay State Prison. Like Lopez, Ashker argued that long term segregation violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment, and that the lack of meaningful review of SHU placement violates the right to due process. The Adjustment Center is not technically covered by the lawsuit - it is not specifically classified as a SHU - but the conditions challenged in Ashker are extremely similar to those of the Adjustment Center, including the non-evidence-based criteria for ascertaining gang affiliation.
The Ashker settlement will transform the "status-based" system for placing people in SHUs to a "behavior-based" system. Individuals will only be put in the SHU if they have committed verified "SHU-eligible" rule violations, such as violence, weapons possession, or escape attempts - not merely for alleged gang affiliation.
The settlement also significantly limits the time individuals may spend in solitary confinement. CCR noted that in settling Ashker, "California has implicitly recognized the harm to prisoners from very prolonged solitary confinement." CCR lawyer Alexis Agathocleous, speaking to Solitary Watch, noted that CDCR has "acknowledged that other options are possible" for managing behavior in prison, besides long-term segregation. Those working on Lopez will look to the Ashker settlement for an understanding of what CDCR may be willing to put on the table.
EmilyRose Johns noted, however, that there are obstacles to negotiating a settlement for those on death row that Ashker didn't have to grapple with, including different regulatory context and an even greater stigma. Settlement discussions could continue for months or even years; if discussions break down and the case goes to trial, it will almost certainly be years before a judgment arrives. Meanwhile, life - such as it is - will go on for the men who live in the Adjustment Center. With executions apparently stalled indefinitely, the severe living conditions of individuals on death row, ostensibly temporary, are seemingly more and more permanent.
For the named plaintiffs in Lopez, however, things will be a bit different. As a result of the lawsuit, Johns noted, they have all been transferred out of the Adjustment Center and into slightly less stringent conditions in East Block. Their executions continue to be nowhere in sight.

One of the finest couples that would have givenJay-ZandBeyoncea run for their money and status would have been Toronto rapper Drakeand Rihanna. Yes, the two were a good prospect as American power couple, but the dream is no more. Drakeand Rihannaare now reportedly ex to each other. Simply meaning they have both split up.
Both Drakeand Rihannawere this close to getting married, as Drakewas purportedly ready to put a ring on it. Now that is a nightmare.
The pair had been going so strong over the last few months, making it official in July and hanging out nonstop ever since. They partied together, performed together and even got matching tattoos together. And let's not forget the most important moment of all: when Drizzy publicly confessed his love for Rih at the 2016 MTV VMAs.
Sources say that Drakeand Rihannaare seeing other persons at the present. They are no more exclusive to each other. Their very tight schedule is also responsible for the strain in the relationship between both of them.
Drake has been linked toIndia Love, and has been seeing her for a couple of weeks now.
Rihanna sometime over the weekend took time out to shade her eminent list of exes in an instagram post.
"None of my exes are married or in happy relationships so it's safe to say that I wasn't da problem lol,"
News has it that they both still love each other but at present the relationship is headed no where.

I prefer carcinogens to endorphins.
Somewhat true. Truthfully, hip hop is the most image based that it's ever been. If your image ain't right, no one's gonna give you a shot. Plus, the day of the everyman is gone. People don't really care much for relatable characters. They want larger than life, ridiculous, obnoxious, even scary. They don't wanna listen to Ron from down the block who's still broke to remind them that they're broke. Hip hop is escapism.I don't think the music forum is dead. I think the main problem with it is that many users love to post all their work, pieces, sounds, etc but no one is willing to actually listen to each others stuff and give feedback.

Skip to comments.Thousands of 2012 votes may be blocked (barf alert)
Posted on 07/09/2012 4:56:15 AM PDT by TurboZamboni
When Edward and Mary Weidenbener went to vote in Indiana's primary in May, they didn't realize that state law required them to bring government photo IDs such as a driver's license or passport.
The husband and wife, both approaching 90 years old, had to use a temporary ballot that would be verified later, even though they knew the people working the polling site that day. Unaware that Indiana law obligated them to follow up with the county election board, the Weidenbeners ultimately had their votes rejected -- news to them until informed recently by an Associated Press reporter.
Edward Weidenbener, a World War II veteran who had voted for Mitt Romney in the Republican presidential contest, said he was surprised by the rules and the consequences.
"A lot of people don't have a photo ID. They'll be automatically disenfranchised," he said.
(Excerpt) Read more at twincities.com ...
So get one. Now you know.
Another absurdity put up by those who would allow vote fraud.
Obama Campaign Checks IDs At The Door
CLEVELAND President Barack Obama's presidential campaign checked the identification of the supporters attending Obama's "framing" event at Cuyahoga Community College today.
The 1,500 supporters in attendance picked up tickets at campaign offices in Northeast Ohio beginning on Monday, though tickets to the event made no mention of an ID requirement.
Jessica Kershaw, the Obama campaign's Ohio Press Secretary, confirmed in a statement to BuzzFeed that the campaign checked every supporter's identification at the door.
"We checked every ID at the door to make sure it matched with the name on the ticket that supporters filled out," she said. "We did this for every person who came in."
think of all that disenfranchising going on!OH THE HORROR!
Good. If they're too demented, stupid, lazy or incompetent to obtain a photo ID, they shouldn't be voting anyway.
WRT "voter fraud",
"allow" is too mild of a word.
"encourage" is too mild of a word.
"REQUIRE" or "DEPEND ON" is more accurate.
Jesse Jackson let the cat out of the bag when he said that voter ID requirements would reduce the democrat vote count by about 11%. I don't think it's that high, but even 2% would make a huge difference in outcome.
They probably don't fly and have his wife felt up by TSA agents as a terrorist risk, check.
But did they drive to the polling place and who doesn't have a drivers license in their wallet?
Usual BS by the MSM.
For every Ed and Mary I bet there's a thousand Juans and Marias.
"Oh no! Two people couldn't vote? Well that's it for me, I'm against voter ID. I'm now all for Democrat voter fraud, so these two people can vote."
There AP feel better now?
Cry me a river! These old people have photo ID is they receive any type of medical care, social security, welfare or ever cash a check, open or close a bank account, etc.
Judges say it all the time: "ignorance of the law is no excuse."
You're on to something...
Interesting that one had to have an ID in Indiana to vote in 2010 and 2008. Guess they didn't vote then?
It IS a whine-fest. Second article posted/ how many more are out there today?
DISENFRANCHISED. A democrat code word for let me vote even though I am not eligible.
This word was thrown around after Bush/Gore. These people were aware of that word, they surely should have been aware of new regulations on voting. Had to be all over the news.
A LEGAL vote is nullified by every illegal vote.
A LEGAL vote is disenfranchised by every illegal vote.
Bring your ID to the voting booth to help fight disenfranchisement.
tells me they've concluded that Barry is probably gonna lose and they want to create a Bloody Shirt for the Left to wave around for the next decade (since Bush v. Gore has pretty much played itself out)
Sorry, Edward and Mary, lif's a b——, then you die.
Get over it.

Slept with a guy for the first and it took him a week to say something. He set up this really nice date, very affectionate afterwards, dropped me off the next day, kissed me goodbye, all that other good stuff. I'm a firm believer that a guy should do the pursuing so I've never reached out him first this entire time except for once I believe. As a result we would not talk every day (which I was more than fine with, I'm pretty busy). My friends say that I shouldn't do that, but I still don't think a man should take that long to say something. Isn't that too long?
Too long to make contact after sleeping together?

WIKILEAKS — The most recent release of hacked emails from the account of Clinton Campaign Chairman, John Podesta, provides an email written by Podesta to Cheryll Mills (attorney) about holding back the emails between President Obama and Hillary Clinton after receiving a subpoena to reveal all.
A scrubbing and the deleting of emails between the president and Clinton would be a huge development. Keep in mind, not once in all the investigations has there ever been an email between Obama and Hillary revealed.
For reference, "potus" stands for President of the United States." Here is the email:

From Civil Spring to Democratic Summer
This book investigates the contemporary challenges of diversity, multiculturalism, and religious pluralism to the protection of human rights and the freedoms of citizens within societies (states) in transition. Focusing on various social, political, legal, cultural, and economic aspects of rights and freedoms in the context of the early Soviet Union and its first constitution, the book examines why (some) state(s) fail to develop from totalitarianism to democracy and fall back into dictatorship.

Halliburton's Testing and Subsea business line announced its RezConnect™ Well Testing System, the industry's first solution to offer completely acoustic control of drill-stem tools, received the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2015 Spotlight on New Technology Award.
This award highlights leading hardware and software technologies based on five criteria: broad industry appeal, proven application, impact beyond existing technologies, less than two years since introduction and innovation capable of revolutionizing exploration and production.
RezConnect is powered by Halliburton's DynaLink® telemetry system, a wireless sensor and acoustic transmitter network that enables bidirectional communication between downhole tools and the surface. It receives real-time data allowing operators to make faster decisions and more accurately characterize reservoir formations through pressure and temperature, the operation of downhole valves and sample collection and analysis.
In deep water wells, the higher hydrostatic pressure requires more applied annulus pressure to activate conventional drill-stem tools. RezConnect reduces the amount of applied annulus pressure needed, decreasing the risk for overlapping tool operating pressures and creating a safer, more controlled well test. The technology has been employed in offshore operations in Latin America.

Hi guys, I know very well that I am a late updater. But it's not at all done intentionally. But my studies and dance practice etc are clashing and I am reaching home so late.
And now my exams are also going on. So pls forgive me.
Link for the previous chapter :
Chapter 20
Swara's Pov
Even though I was hidden behind the magazine my eyes were on him. I saw expressions change over his face. And I understood that he had at last changed his decision.
" I was hell worried and tensed about a contract that I desire the most, the whole day. So I didn't get time to eat anything and I felt that only now. So I went out to get something to eat. Otherwise I would have lied dead on the floor just like that mosquito is lying now. " He explained looking at the mosquito that I killed by clapping my hands. I was still continuing killing mosquitoes standing on my toes. But I leaned back after he said this and sat.
" U were hungry !!! " I said like I am amazed.
" Yes, I was. I am a human unlike u. " He taunted.
" How dare u call me inhuman " I shouted angrily getting back on my foot. My temper level was terribly crossed after hearing this statement and I tried to take anything that was in hand's reach to throw at him. And I got something but I was not able to throw it because I was taken aback by a terrible pain on my hand.
My eyes went in the direction where the pain was present. It was my hand and blood was flowing from it. The thing I had took to throw at him was the same vase which was half broken by myself hitting Sanky and the sharp part of it had pierced into my hand.
I yelled with pain, leaving the vase. I barely saw him rushing towards me and trying to stop the blood flow but it was not.
" Still u have not stopped this throwing-things-habit." He said trying to stop the blood flow.
But my mind had already left that place already. He's saying the right. Still I had not learned to control my anger. Even after that nasty incident, that dangerous incident, that thing I did which almost cost my ragu's life.
It was 3 years ago. I was really angry about something and I started crashing and breaking things. Then Ragu came, trying to stop me. But she failed to do so and I continued. And there was a knife with the things. I accidentally took that too and threw it but it hit her. She was in critical stage for 3 days.
Those 3 days, I had done maximum of things by which I could punish myself. Killing myself didn't seem a punishment worth to me. That's the only reason I am alive today.
After that I had tried my maximum to put a control on my anger. It was not at all a great success but I had managed a little. Or that was what I thought. After what I had done now I understood that I should accept this fact.
" Anger is my husband who never gives divorce. "
[ I don't know whether any one of u remember or not , I used a sentence same like this in the 2nd chapter I think. ' Alcohol is my wife who never demands divorce. ' I am feeling really crazy, copying my own words 😝😝😝😝 ]
What had happened to Ragu could have happened to him. It may not have been that much worse but I don't have the strength to face one more situation like that.
He just taunted in his usual way and what I did. There was nothing for me to be this much angry. He had told things 100 times worst than this and I had a control. But why now ????
But he was really surprising me. After all these things I have done, he was caring for me. He had tied a cloth on my wound and now my hand stayed between his hands in rich one was just sand as mine.
I took away my hand and went towards the bed without uttering a word more. I lied on the bed and stared at the opposite side. But this time I did so, not because of my ego but because I had nothing left. Guilty consciousness was getting over me…..

Gay marriage momentum expands to 2 Midwest states
Credit: The Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The national momentum on gay marriage has been limited mostly to the East and West coasts, but it looks like that's about to change.
The Minnesota House votes Thursday on legalizing gay marriage, and Gov. Mark Dayton could be signing a bill as early as next week. The Illinois Senate approved it earlier, and supporters think they'll soon have enough votes in the House.

When Matt Capps signed with the Nationals last December, Drew Storen immediately perceived the possibility of a rift. Storen, after all, had been drafted six months earlier as the team's closer of the future, and Capps had signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Nationals, partially to occupy the job until Storen was ready.
But when the two met at NatsFest in January, that possibility turned into a non-issue.
"I was kind of like, 'I wonder how this is going to be,' but he really treated me so well from the beginning," Storen said. "Instead of kind of pushing me away, he took me under his wing and really showed me the ropes."
Capps took Storen out to eat throughout the spring in Viera, Fla., talking baseball with the rookie and sharing tips on adjusting to life in the majors. He helped Storen move into his condo in Florida - "just little things you don't expect a guy of that caliber to do," Storen said.
When Capps was traded to the Twins last night, Storen texted him to wish him luck, but to express gratitude as much as anything.
"He understood it all," Storen said. "He was kind of the polar opposite of what you'd think in that situation. That's why I really appreciated what he did."
But this is still a business, and part of the reason Capps became expendable, after all, was because Storen has stepped so smoothly into the majors. He has a 2.64 ERA in 29 appearances this season, and 26 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings. He won't become the Nationals' outright closer right away, sharing the job with a group of relievers that includes Tyler Clippard, Sean Burnett and Joel Peralta.
Storen hopes to take the job over eventually, but said that can happen through "a natural process."
"We've got enough arms down there right now that other guys can fill in with that role," Storen said. "That's one thing I'm going to work toward, is to be accountable late in the game."

Ligue 1: Salomon Kalou insists winning is all that matters to Lille
Salomon Kalou insisted winning was all that mattered to Lille after his goals saw them go third in Ligue 1.
Last Updated: 03/03/14 1:43pm
The Ivory Coast forward scored two penalties and one goal from open play in Corsica, while two strikes from Junior Tallo kept the bottom side in contention throughout a match that ended 3-2.
St Etienne had beaten second-placed Monaco to go third on Saturday, so claiming victory at the Stade Francois Coty was "imperative" for Champions League-chasing Lille, according to Kalou.
The former Chelsea man told L'Equipe: "I scored three goals but for me the main thing was getting the victory. It was imperative to take back third place after St Etienne's victory.
"We expected a difficult game against an opponent who already look condemned (to relegation).
"We were surprised by their start to the match, they pressed us very high up and got the opener.
"But in the second half we corrected a few things and that enabled us to regain control of the game.
"It was a painful victory but it allowed us to take third place."
Ajaccio boss Christian Bracconi, whose side are now 13 points from safety, criticised the performance of referee Olivier Thual.
If it had not been for the two penalties awarded to Lille and subsequently converted by Kalou, Bracconi argued his side would have held on to clinch their third win of the season.
He told L'Equipe: "Refereeing mistakes settled the game. It was poorly officiated.
"We are in 20th place and we just don't need that kind of refereeing.
"We never had a penalty in our favour while Lille had two so I must say that the referee was wrong.
"This afternoon, Lille played with 12 men."

* Front month sinks Wednesday to lowest since September * Long-term outlook for milder weather * Coming up: EIA natgas storage data Friday By Eileen Houlihan NEW YORK, Jan 3 (Reuters) - U.S. natural gas futures slid about 2 percent early on Thursday, extending losses for a third straight trading day due to moderating weather forecasts after some cold this week. But prices remained above Monday's three-month spot chart low. A huge, 30-cent, 9-percent drop in prices on Monday was blamed on an algorithmic, or electronic computer-driven trade. Still, prices have continued to struggle this week amid the milder weather outlooks that should curb heating needs and lessen demand for gas from winter storage. As of 9:12 a.m. EST (1412 GMT), front-month February gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange were at $3.173 per million British thermal units, down 6 cents, or about 2 percent. The front-month contract fell as low as $3.05 on Wednesday, a contract low and the lowest mark for a spot contract since late September. The latest National Weather Service six-to-10-day forecast issued on Wednesday again called for above-normal temperatures for a little more than the eastern half of the United States, with below-normal readings only in the West. Nuclear outages totaled just 7,500 megawatts, or 7 percent, of U.S. capacity, down slightly from 8,500 MW out on Wednesday, but up from 7,200 MW out a year ago and a five-year average outage rate of about 5,500 MW. WINTER STORAGE STILL BLOATED Last week's Energy Information Agency (EIA) gas storage report showed total domestic inventories fell 72 billion cubic feet to 3.652 trillion cubic feet, below market expectations for a 76 bcf draw. Inventories started the heating season in early November at an all-time high of 3.929 tcf and are still at record highs for this time of year, hovering at more than 2 percent above last year and 13 percent above the five-year average. Early withdrawal estimates for this week's report range widely from 68 bcf to 165 bcf, with most expecting a draw above 100 bcf. Stocks fell 77 bcf during the same year-ago week, and have dropped about 111 bcf on average that week over the past five years. The EIA report will be delayed by one day this week to Friday because of the New Year's Day holiday on Tuesday. RIGS GAIN, OUTPUT STILL NEAR RECORD Baker Hughes data on Friday showed the gas-directed rig count rose by two last week to 431, its second straight weekly gain. But drilling for natural gas has mostly declined for more than a year, with gas rigs down 54 percent since peaking at 936 in October 2011. The gas rig count is hovering just above a 13-1/2-year low of 413 hit seven weeks ago, but so far production has not shown any significant sign of slowing. The EIA expects gas output in 2013 to rise to a record high of 69.59 bcf per day, the third straight annual record.
