On Friday, February 19, 2010 at 8pm at the Stathakion Cultural Center, 22-51 29th Street, Astoria, NY 11105, CYPRECO of America, Inc., kicks off its 2010 cultural activities with a very unique program dedicated to the coastal City of Famagusta, Cyprus.
This event is part of CYPRECO's ongoing mission of introducing and promoting young Greek Cypriot and Greek American professionals who are involved in the arts and culture and more specifically those young individuals who try to promote Cyprus and Greece through their art. One such artist is Vasia Markides whose documentary "Hidden In The Sand" is being featuring during this event.
On February 19, 2010 CYPRECO will highlight the Greek Cypriot artist and filmmaker Vasia Markides and her documentary "Hidden In The Sand" which chronicles the story of Famagusta in northern Cyprus and under Turkish occupation since 1974. During the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, all Famagusta Greek Cypriot residents fled their city fearing for their lives. Since then, the occupation forces have sealed off the city and keep it under strict military surveillance so that no one can return home. The film tackles the ugly effects of nationalism, militarism and propaganda in both the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities. To view the trailer please visit, http://www.vasiamarkides.com/site/web/web_php/porfolio.php. The event will also feature a message and remarks on video by Alexis Galanos, Mayor of Famagusta, a poetry recital by Greek Cypriot poet/lyricist Polys Kyriacou, discussion with the filmmaker, while the Guest Speaker will be the distinguished Professor Theoharis David, FAIA on the topic “Famagusta: A Remembrance and Thoughts About The Future.

RING 8 2009 HOLIDAY AND AWARDS CEREMONY
Russo’s on the Bay
162-45 Crossbay Blvd, Howard Beach, NY 11414
Dec 20th, 2009 celebration was regretfully cancelled due to the 2009 North American blizzard. A Nor'easter that formed over the Gulf of Mexico, and produced whiteout conditions, dumped about 16–20 inches (41–51 cm) of snow in many places, including major cities along the Eastern seaboard. No choice but to reschedule for Jan 10th, 2010.
Jan 10th, 2010 the Ring 8 2009 Ceremony took place on a sunny and brisk Sunday afternoon. At 12:00 record crowds of over 450 members, honorees, guests and celebrity guests entered to 90 minutes of a full brunch which included gourmet breakfast foods, pastries, appetizers, and open bar with top shelf liquors and beers. At 1:45, Matt Farrago announced that the event was to begin.
Special guest, Michelle, sang the National Anthem and was given a standing ovation.
The 10 count was delivered for our fallen warriors such as Alexis Arguello, Arturo Gatti, Vernon Forest, Tony Thornton, Jackie Tonawanda, Greg Page, Jose Torres, Ingehmar Johansson. Also, Budd Schulberg, Howie Albert, Roland LaStarza, and many more, who passed away in 2009.
Honorees and Celebrity Guests were introduced and asked to take their place on the dais.

Opening statement was delivered by Matt Farrago:
“Ring 8 is a not-for-profit organization. As stated in its charter, its purpose is to "FOSTER, PROMOTE, and PERPEPUATE" a spirit of benevolent Fraternity and Charity among active and inactive valid professional boxers, and to provide for the physical, mental, and monetary welfare of indigent professional boxers.”
“Unlike other major sports that have a union to represent the athlete, professional boxers have no such safetynet. Even without a union it is hard to believe that such legendary fighters such as Mickey Walker, Kid Gavilan, Sandy Saddler, Joe Louis, Joe Frazier, and Ken Norton would not be taken care of by the boxing establishment when they fall on hard times. So Ring 8 was started as the 8th charter and continues to be at the forefront of taking care of these legendary warriors."
“Your donations go directly to helping fighters in need. Our Motto still stands today:
"Boxers Helping Boxers."

Ugg boots come in so many styles and colors, it's hard to keep track of them all. Men's Uggs come in more basic, classic colors and styles, but for women, it's "anything goes" in terms of colors and styles. After all, women need a pair of shoes for every outfit, and, with Ugg Boots, you can almost do that.
Get some Uggs in ankle-high, mid-calf, and tall versions. You can find Uggs that have flat heels or more chunky and textured soles. Generally, Ugg boots are considered to be a casual footwear, meaning they go great with your favorite jeans. Pair them with a short skirt and opaque tights or a long skirt for some comfortable yet stylish wardrobe choices.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, Ugg boots work. Being exceptionally warm, your feet stay cozy in the cold weather. Because they are made from natural sheepskin materials, the fibers breath and your feet won't get sweaty or smelly in the warm weather, either. Just about the only time you can't wear Ugg Boots is during particularly wet or muddy weather, the suede doesn't hold up as well to those conditions. Guys can look just a little more rugged wearing Ugg Boots, there's always something attractive about that look!
Hottenstein's clothed body, appearing wet from being in the water, was found by a passerby on Sunday morning, Feb.15, at approximately 7:35 a.m. at the street end on 42nd Place at the Sea Isle City Marina. A thorough and comprehensive investigation began into the circumstances of Hottenstein's death by members of the Cape May Prosecutor's Office and the Sea Isle City Police Department. Additional resources were requested from the Cape May County Sheriff's Department Canine Unit to conduct a search of the area, as well as the New Jersey State Police TEAMS Unit and Middle Township Police Department to complete a search of the water for articles of clothing worn by Hottenstein.
The investigation to date includes dozens of interviews, sworn statements; review of numerous hours of video recordings from multiple sources, and the review of information obtained from court authorized warrants. The investigation determined Hottenstein was last seen exiting the Ocean Drive Bar and Restaurant located at 3915 Landis Avenue, Sea Isle City at approximately 2:15 a.m. on Feb. 15 and appears to have walked southbound on Landis Avenue. Hottenstein was wearing a black long sleeved top, dark blue jeans, tan Ugg boots, a pink plaid hat, and pink scarf. The hat and one of the boots was subsequently recovered from the water in the area of the marina. Still missing are Hottenstein's scarf and one of the boots. Hottenstein's cell phone, purse and vest were left in the Ocean Drive Bar and Restaurant and retrieved by detectives.
After consideration and review of all of the available facts, the cause of death was determined to be "Hypothermia due to exposure complicating acute alcohol intoxication" with the manner ruled as accidental. The weather where Hottenstein was found on Sunday morning during the period from 2:15am to 7:35 a.m. reached a low air temperature of 31°F, wind speed up to 10 mph with gusts up to 12 mph from the NNE, wind chill calculated at 21°F, and the water temperature reached a low of 35°F, according to the records obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The investigation is continuing to gain answers to questions that remain as to the circumstances surrounding how Hottenstein arrived in the area of the marina.
All known witnesses of the events leading to Hottenstein's discovery on the morning of Feb. 15, have been interviewed. The last interview occurred during the week of May 4. The Prosecutor's Office and Sea Isle city Police Department continue to request the public's assistance to determine her whereabouts after leaving the Ocean Drive Bar and Restaurant. Prosecutor Taylor and Sea Isle City Police Chief Thomas D'Intino encourage anyone who saw Hottenstein after 2:15 a.m. on Feb.15, to contact the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office Major Crimes Unit at 609-465-1135 or the Sea Isle City Police Department at 609-263-4311.

Whether true or false, most of them are the brand of the United States. And Australia has its own local real estate UGG brand. In my opinion, regardless of where produced, what brand, the most important thing is not out of the meaning of Uggs in itself - it should be one of the sheepskin fur boots round.
However, most shops will be there Taobao stressed that his boots are the genuine UGG Australia, the original documentary and so on. But looking at peace evaluations, all reactions hair loss like that. That is definitely not fur one. Even ugg boots are feasible even more authentic state of peace. Who is the authentic, quality is of overriding importance.
Just as this brand is also a registered mark by foreigners before, but the real estate Qingdao beer is more welcomed by the locals because it is more delicious. Who is genuine, but also where to start. As for the purchase, yet if the U.S. wanted to buy that brand of UGG Australia, Online Shopping Service shops in the United States to pick a good reputation can buy the legendary "authentic." Is the price Guile Dian. Also, or Australia to buy when the real estate Shopping Service ugg boots brand. Most of the brand in Australia is the Shearers Ugg and Jumbo Ugg. As for the other office if they can buy a real fur one, is also something that has not.
