ASTORIA'S MARIO LALICATA IN HOT WATER WITH WOULD BE TENANTS

Astoria, New York
Mario Lalicata has been accused of taking money for apartments that are not available to rent. He, also, has not returned, or has returned fractional amounts to the people who paid him, as per the acccusation. Craig's List is one of the tools, mentioned in the accusations that Lalicata used, to get these would be tenants looking for a new place in Astoria. "Apartment searching could be a stressful thing and finding someone like a Scammy Mario in your way could make someone really miserable. Taking your hard earned money away for a non valid reason and not returning it is very stressful." Deputy Inspector Cirabisi was alerted at the Police Precinct Meeting back in the spring. He had pointed out that the District Attorney was on the case. Lalicata has a date with the judge on August 27th.

ASTORIA'S ITALIAN FEDERATION LEAVES LANDMARK LOCATION DUE TO LESS POLITICAL FUNDING

Astoria, NY
It was 29-21 21 Avenue, back in 1971, the site of the Italian American Federation when a group of Italian-Americans of Queens, including Vincent Iannece, decided to form a club to help the Queens community. Yesterday, movers were taking out the last of the furniture, equipment and memory and transporting it just about 10 blocks west to 20-12 21 Avenue. " With less funding from the local politicians and budgetary constraints, the directors of the Federation had to relocate and, with the help of the same landlord of the old location, have found this new location near Astoria Park." FPG said. The new office will open on August 13th. Patronato Inca Usa ( 718-267-1994 ), an agency to help Italian immigrants apply and receive their pension from overseas, will relocate too. " We wish the Italian Federation of Queens Club continued success in helping the residents of the community."

BERLUSCONI CONDANNATO

Astoria, NY
La sentenza e' Chiara. Silvio Berlusconi e' stato condannato questa settimana dalla Giustizia ( La corte suprema italiana ). << Questa e' la prima volta che il Cavaliere ha veramente preso una condanna che gli costera' la sua vita politica. E' una cosa che ci si aspettava. Paragonato Berlusconi a Giulio Cesare, anche allora Cesare si trovava nelle stesse brutte acque. Cesare fu condannato ad abbandonare il suo esercito in Gallia e ritornare a Roma. >> dice FPG. << Auguriamo a Berlusconi un buon esodo nel concludere questa situazione nei migliore dei modi.>>

ASTORIA IN THE COLD AND RAIN FOR EASTER SUNDAY

New York City
Easter Sunday on the last day of March was spent in the chilly air mass that continues to hold trees from blossoming in New York City. That is way different from last year when the Easter ambiance was similar to late May thanks to an early spring. << Fortunately, our Easter ( Orthodox )  will be celebrated in early May and we will enjoy beautiful weather>> said a Greek professional resident of Astoria, Queens. This year Greek Easter is more than a month apart from Easter Sunday. It is usually on the Sunday after and rarely on the same Sunday. << I expect temperatures to slowly warm up after this latest cold snap that could send temperatures down to freezing in New York City on Monday and Tuesday nights. I plan to start sowing by end of the week as I believe that this Early April cold and frost mass will be the last of Winter 2012-2013.>> said FPG.

ITALIAN ELECTIONS RESULTS LEADS TO 3 MEGA PARTIES

BREAKING NEWS: TERZO TRIUMVIRATO SUGGERITO PER L'ITALIA
NEW YORK CITTA', STATI UNITI D'AMERICA
Il terzo triumvirato con Berlusconi, Bersani e Beppe Grillo ( detto anche il grillo parlante ) sarebbe una bella idea per l'Italia. In una nazione dove non c'e ordine e controllo, un triumvirato potrebbe
aprire la porta ad una nuova disciplina politica per una nazione che ha sofferto abbastanza dal dopoguerra fino ad oggi.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013 BUON ANNO 2013

FINI PREFERISCE L'INCUBO DI BERLUSCONI CHE SUO COMPLICE NEL BORDELLO

NEW YORK,USA
GianFranco Fini lo dice sul serio. Meglio essere un incubo a Berlusconi che essere un complice nello spartire il bottino o il bordello di Berlusconi? E' stampato su RAI24 News Italia. Fini sembra di essere una persona seria. Parla come un politico, e' furbo come un politico e sa quando parlare e cosa dire. Mi ricordo di GianFranco a New York. La prima volta abbiamo parlato del risorgimento dell'Italia grazie ai due poli. Pranzammo sul Intrepido Museum. La seconda volta abbiamo fattto cena al Grand Hyatt Hotel. Fini aveva ricevuto un bigliettino da visita ,da me,di un vice presidente di una compagnia di sicurezza del Nord America. Il Vice Presidente si chiamava Richard Stern. Appena visto il nome gli occhi sono usciti da fuori. Mi chiede: E' il figlio di (Michael) Stern? La compagnia di sicurazza sito a Clifton,New Jersey fa sistemi di sicurezza dei perimetri di edifici,aeroporti e centri nucleari per governi e compagnie in tutto il mondo.

BERLUSCONI S'INNAMORA DI UNA NAPOLETANA

New York City
Si chiama Francesca Pascale, la nuova ragazza di Silvio Berlusconi. << Sembra che e' una ragazza molto dedicata alla politica e questo l'ha aiutata a conoscere il premier>> dice FPG. << Finalmente Berlusconi ha trovato una persona con cui lui potrebbe sentirsi meno solo dopo i suoi problemi coniugali.  La ragazza napoletana ha solo 28 anni e la differenza eta' sembra enorme. Pero' Silvio dice che Francesca e' bella di dentro anche se e' bella di fuori. Un'anima gemella? Questo lo si vedra' nei prossimi mesi. I visitatori di Berlusconi Italia blogspot (BERLUSCONIITALIA.BLOGSPOT.COM), Micro Cap Stock Blogspot (MICROCAPSTOCK.BLOGSPOT.COM) e tutti visitatori degli altri blogspot appartenenti a FPG, augurano a Silvio Berlusconi un felice e prospero fidanzamento con Francesca Pascale.

HURRICANE SANDY HAS LEFT A SCAR IN ASTORIA NY

This has been, perhaps, a once in a lifetime storm that has caused damage to a large chunk of the United States. For the New York area, it has been also a storm with a significant loss of life. All NewYorkers have felt the effect of this storm, even those that had to wait at the gas stations for hours to order to get some gas
for their vehicles and generators. We must pray and hope for better times ahead but always be prepared for what Mother Nature throws our way.

SCIPIONE L'AFRICANO PARTE PER ESPUGNARE LA SPAGNA

Scipione detto l'africano che salvo' l'Italia da Annibale, si reco' in Spagna per espugnare i cartaginesi e la loro colonia togliendo a Cartagine la possibilita' di rinforzi prima di entrare in Africa. Oggi lo Scipione Africano e' Mario Balotelli, pronto a rafficare la porta di Casillas con un golasso. Quindi, vi raccomando di guardare a Super Mario quando cantate l'elmo di Scipio durante l'inno nazionale.

BALOTELLI, UN MOSTRO DEL CALCIO FERMA LA GERMANIA E MIRA A LA ESPANA

Mario Balotelli, il Super Mario d'Italia ha fermato la Germania che era imbattibile per tante partite. Non dimentichiamo il grande Antonio Cassano che ha iniziato la fine dei tedeschi con un passaggio stupendo a Mario, il mostro del calcio, che con furore e senza emozioni ha inzaccato nella rete. Ora tocca ai giocatori italiani di spazzare via la Spagna domani con una spugna fredda e con gol nei tempi regolamentari. Non andiamo ai calci di rigore, per favore.

ITALY TO FACE GERMANY ON THURSDAY

Cesare Prandelli says Italy is ready for the Germans. The semifinal game will take place on Thursday. The winner will go to the final against Portugal or Spain. " I hope the Italians are impenetrable in their defense. With Buffon as a superb goalkeeper and a persisent Mario Balotelli and Antonio Cassano duet, I believe that we have a good chance in stopping Germany and avoid a Teutoberg Forest disaster.

ONLY A CAESAR CAN BRING VICTORY TO ITALY

Caesar, the mighty general who explored Brittania after securing positions in Gallia in the first century BC, knew that this mighty island needed more legions to be conquered since he was unprepared and he still needed to fight the regrouping Gauls. Now in 2012, England remains while the French were taken out yesterday by the Spaniards. Now Cesare Prandelli is ready for an assualt on the British defense and ready to weed out Rooney. Mario Balotelli and Cassano who scored in the previous game against Ireland may be what the Italians need. But do not forget the quality penalty kicker Pirlo, the almost impenetrable Buffon and the rest of Italy's elite players who are asked to be bold by Cesare himself. " What need for the Italian players is patience and absence of strong emotions. We don't need them to jump up and down if they do score the first goal. It will be a recipe for disaster since England could use this to score quickly the tie goal. Let's leave the emotions to the fans during the game. In italian : Cosa abbiamo bisogno dai calciatori italiani e' la pazienza e l'assenza di grandi emozioni. Non abbiamo bisogno di giocatori che saltano in euforia se l'Italia va in vantaggio. Sara' una ricetta per disastro perche' l'Inghilterra usera' questa situazione per pareggiare. Lasciamo le emozioni ai tifosi durante la partita. PARTITAITALIA.BLOGSPOT.COM AUGURA L'ITALIA DI ARRIVARE ALLE SEMIFINALI CONTRO LA GERMANIA.
