Lakis Gavalas: Life in prison: What he revealed to Theodorakis

Lakis Gavalas gave Stavros Theodorakis an in-depth interview on behalf of the newspaper "TA NEA".

The famous fashion businessman revealed about his life in prison: "In the beginning I was in a cell with a Golden Dawn fan, who was acquitted after 18 months for an alleged murder he had committed. A good kid, who even played the clarinet. There were two other children from Agrinio. Then Sahpatzidis of PAOK was transferred to our cell ", while then added: "It simply came to our notice then. And today it's me, a child for theft, Sachpatzidis and Lavrentiadis who came now, who is also ill. We are stacked. I have told you before: the most favored in here are those who can find their dose – and, believe me, there are many".

Lakis Gavalas did not hesitate to admit that in prison there are drugs everywhere for those who need them: "Everywhere you look today, the tide of protectionist sentiment is flowing “cut”. And I have told you that I am a taxpayer, I am not a tax evader, and you have to remember that. […] They throw them away’ outside, they introduce them; I do not even know where they find them and I have not gone into detail why, Thank God, I have never smoked hashish in my life ".

About the situation that prevails in the wing where he is being held, he said: "It simply came to our notice then, what to have; Thousands of papers, lawsuits, a rudimentary bathroom. It is a prison, believe me. That is, we cry, we meet, we cry again…».

Commenting on food inside the prison, Lakis Gavalas also makes his own humorous comments: "It also has lentils and carrots with boiled potatoes. Ε, I will get a sauce from the canteen and eat the potatoes. The only thing they bring me from’ outside are cereals, one with nuts mixed. And yesterday I boiled nettle from the garden and put it in the wool – we also have the aesthetics ", emphasizing at the same time: "We can order from outside, but what should older people eat from’ outside; To Tsochatzopoulos, e.g., what to bring him out; Kokoretsia and such; He must eat his cream, Me too. You also buy cream from the prison canteen ".

For his daily life in prison, Lakis Gavalas said: "At eight o'clock the cells are closed. I do not see the time to go eight. Now with the garden I really get away with it. I walk around the whole garden with the weights on my feet. A, now I also do mental gymnastics. A guard, crazy he too, has given them to me “Greek doctors of Smyrna” and he explains to me how terrible they were. And my sister, from everything,what do you know, is in jail; so, to show that they punish us as a family. And she is a mother of minor children who did not raise them with Filipinos and biribes. ".

Elsewhere, Lakis Gavalas commented: "Looked, for thirty years I behaved like a passionate Greek. I met the biggest entrepreneurs in America, France, Italy. I had multinationals who fell in love with me and wanted to have me with them, and I denied it just to be in my country – Hermes house, Burberry, Dolce & Gabanna… They told me that Greece would falter and I answered them “what nonsense are you saying;”».

End, for the debts he has today he mentioned: "It simply came to our notice then 10 millions. I inform you that everyone abroad will help me ", while for his fortune today he completed: "What property do I have?; Four thousand times what my debt is. To take it and make it schools, to make it hospitals. I have 20.000 square building in Kantza; why not put homeless people inside; To say that they are punishing Gavalas at “Alcatraz” and drums shit. Why don't they take Bucharest, which has five floors; Why do not they take Mykonos; Because there is no way I can bring people back to Mykonos, to make them tables, to show the Greece that is now enjoyed by others who evade taxes and do nothing to them. I missed Mykonos…».

Nominations for the Oscars have been announced

Their awarding will take place on 24 February

Candidate to 12 categories Steven Spielberg's historical epic tops the nominations but Franco-Austrian Michael Haneke's film features in both the best film and foreign language categories! And one (partly) Greek presence
The most impressive element of this year's nominations for the 85th Oscars is not so much the 12 that Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" received _something partially expected_ as much as the fact that Michael Haneke's "Love", a France-Austria co-production– Germany, is nominated both in the category of best film, as well as that of the best foreign language film. It is very rare that a film has simultaneously claimed Oscars in the category of best film and best foreign language film, and one of those rare cases was "Z" by Kostas Gavras and "Tiger and Dragon" by the Taiwanese Ang Lee whose latest film "Life of Pi" is in the running this year 11 Oscar.  As for Haneke himself, the Austrian director has one nomination for directing and one for original screenplay.
The pie of this year's nominations is very well divided. Under "Lincoln", the "Life of Pi" by the Taiwanese Ang Lee with the 11 nomination, including those for Best Picture and Best Director. One place below,  among the eight nominations we will find two films: The "Optimism Guide" by David O. Russell and Tom Hooper's musical "Les Miserables".
The "Business: Ben Affleck's ARGO is up for seven Oscars (from which, however, Affleck himself, who is also the protagonist, is missing) while three films equal five nominations: the western "Django the Punisher" by Quentin Tarantino, Kathryn Bigelow's political thriller Zero Dark Thirty (both are not nominated in the directing category) and "Skyfall" by Sam Mendes but only in technical categories and music.
The movie "Mythical Creatures of the South" was also a big surprise., a very harsh but at the same time optimistic creation of Ben Zetilin about the attempt of a minor girl to survive next to a sick father and the threat of a flood to destroy her community in the American South. Born in stios 18 Of August 2003, Honduras' Qubenzane Wallis is nominated in the A Actress category, making her the youngest actress ever to be nominated in this category. Overall, "Mythical Creatures" counts four nominations.
The performances of Denzel Washington and Naomi Watts in the films "Flight" and "The impossible" were enough to lead them to the Oscars for Best Actor and Best Actress. The members of the Academy worked very well also with regard to "The Master". Paul Thomas Anderson's overrated film was only nominated where it really deserved it, that is, for the performances of Joaquin Phoenix (Α΄ρόλος), Philip Seymour Hoffman (B’ role) and Amy Adams (Second role).
We should also point out a partially Greek presence at this year's Oscars, that of director Nikolai Arcel, who was born in Copenhagen to a Danish father and a Greek mother (from Mytilene). Arcel's film "The Queen's Love" is nominated for the Oscar for best foreign language film. But also Alexandre Desplaiss, candidate for music in "Business: Argo», we remind you that he originates from Volos.
The Academy Awards will be held on Sunday 24 February.

The first photo of the new Mercedes E63 AMG

Mercedes-Benz has announced that it will present the renewed Mercedes E-Class Sedan in Detroit, Coupe & Cabrio.

However, what the Germans did not announce but revealed "sideways" through a photo of the entire E-Class range, is that in Detroit we will also see the new E63 AMG.

Mercedes does not give any information, except that the new model will also be available as a four-wheel drive, however from the photo we can see the redesigned front and side.

The new E63 AMG is rumored to be powered by a twin-turbo performance V8 550 horses.

The American exhibition opens its doors on 14 January, so by then at the latest we'll know everything about the range-topping E-Class.

Επίσημα το βενζινοκίνητο Audi SQ5!

Η Audi αποφάσισε να λανσάρει, σε αγορές της Αμερικής, της Ασίας και της Ρωσίας, μία νέα, κορυφαία, βενζινοκίνητη έκδοση του SQ5, το οποίο στην Ευρώπη διατίθεται ως πετρελαιοκίνητο.
Το εκρηκτικό SUV εφοδιάζεται με τον 3λιτρο V6 TFSI. return 354 ίππων στις 6.000 – 6.500 rpm, with 470 Nm of torque in 4.000-4.500 rpm. The 0-100 χλμ/ώρα έρχονται σε 5,3 seconds, με την τελική ταχύτητα να περιορίζεται ηλεκτρονικά στα 250 km/h. Σύμφωνα με την Audi η μέση κατανάλωση κυμαίνεται στα 8,5 λίτρα/100 χλμ και οι εκπομπές CO2 199 g/km.

Το υπερτροφοδοτούμενο μηχανικό σύνολο, συνδυάζεται με ένα 8-τάχυτο αυτόματο tiptronic κιβώτιο, με paddles στο τιμόνι και σύστημα Start/Stop, το οποίο στέλνει τη κίνηση σε όλους τους τροχούς (quattro).

Το ύψος του αυτοκινήτου από το έδαφος έχει μειωθεί κατά 30 mm και πατά πάνω σε 20άρες ζάντες με ελαστικά διαστάσεων 255/45. Στον επιπλέον εξοπλισμό υπάρχουν διαθέσιμες και ζάντες 21 inches. Τα δυναμικά χαρακτηριστικά του μοντέλου, σε σχέση με τιςαπλές εκδόσεις του Q5, είναι κάτι παραπάνω από ευδιάκριτα. Χαρακτηριστικές μαύρες δαγκάνες με το λογότυπο SQ5, γκρι μάσκα, αλουμινένιες μπάρες οροφής, αλουμινένιοι καθρέπτες, και αποκλειστικά δύο χρώματα Estoril Blue και Panther Black.

Ανάλογα πολυτελής και η εικόνα στο εσωτερικό, χωρίς να υστερεί και στον τομέα της ευρυχωρίας (1.560 l, η χωρητικότητα του πορτ μπαγκάζ).

Σπορ τιμόνι, δερμάτινες Nappa και Alcantara επενδύσεις, σπορ bucket καθίσματα, λεπτομέρειες από επεξεργασμένο αλουμίνιο και συνδυασμό από αλουμίνιο και ξύλο. Το SQ5 θα πωλείται σε Αμερική, Καναδά, Ρωσία, China, Japan, Singapore, Νότιο Κορέα, Νότιο Αφρική, Mexico, Brazil, Αργεντινή Χιλή και Ουκρανία. For the time being, η Audi φαίνεται να επιλέγει τη διάθεση μόνο του πετρελαιοκίνητου SQ5, για την ευρωπαϊκή αγορά.

ΒAFTA 2013: Lincoln on top without Spielberg

The nominations for the British Academy Film Awards have been announced

If you had to pick an oddity in this year's British Academy Film Awards nominations, this is that Steven Spielberg's period biographical drama "Lincoln" dominates in number of nominations (ten!) without being nominated in the directing category! This can only tell us something about the value that awards sometimes have, because when a movie is supposed to be so good in so many areas under the director's watch, then how come she is not good in her directing;
More detailed, 'Lincoln' is up for best picture awards, adapted script, A’ male role (Daniel Day Lewis), B’ male role (Tommy Lee Jones), B’ female role (Sally Field), music, address photo, makeup, scenography and costumes. The name of the creator of the film, Steven Spielberg is only seen as a producer along with Kathleen Kennedy since "Lincoln" is nominated for best picture so the award goes to the producer.
One place below "Lincoln" is "Life of Pi" with nine nominations, followed by "Les Miserables" with eight. Ang Lee's allegory, which has been loved by the Greek audience as well, is in the running for the best film awards, directing, adapted script, music, photo, montage, scenography, sound and visual effects, while Tom Hooper's musical based on the pages of Victor Hugo, it is nominated among other categories for best film, A’ male role (Hugh Jackman) and B’ female roles (Anne Hathaway). The nomination in the category of best direction is also absent from here.
Also worth noting is the fact that Sam Mendes' Skyfall is up for eight awards with both Javier Bardem and Judi Dench nominated for B’ roles.
In general anyway, the nominations at this year's BAFTAs are well divided. Ben Affleck's political drama “Operation: "Argo", which opens tomorrow in theaters, is nominated in seven categories, Quentin Tarantino's western "Django the Punisher" and Joe Wright's "Anna Karenina" claim six awards, while Michael Haneke's masterpiece "Love" is nominated for director, the scenario, the performance of Emmanuelle Riva and also as the best non-English language film.
Finally, let's say that at BAFTA there are three categories of best film: the "Best Film" category (Best film), the "Outstanding British Film" category (Most outstanding British film») and "Non-English Film" (Film not in the English language). This confuses things somewhat because in the case of "Les Miserables" for example, the film is nominated for both Best Film and Outstanding British Film.
The winners will be announced on Sunday 10 February at the ceremony to be held at the Royla Opera House in London.

Αθηνά Τσιλύρα: Μιλάει για πρώτη φορά για τη μάχη της με τον καρκίνο

Δίνοντας μάθημα ζωής, η ηθοποιός μιλά με συγκίνηση για την περιπέτεια με τον καρκίνο από την οποία βγήκε νικήτρια, για όσα άλλαξαν στη ζωή της, για το σύζυγό της Σπύρο Παπαδόπουλο και το γιο τους, που επέδρασαν καταλυτικά ώστε να παλέψει την ασθένεια, αλλά και για την επιστροφή της στο θέατρο με την παράσταση «Η μαμά μου ποτέ δεν πεθαίνει».

Ο τίτλος της παράστασης στην οποία πρωταγωνιστείτε στο θέατρο «Vault» είναι «Η μαμά μου ποτέ δεν πεθαίνει»
Είναι ένα βιβλίο της Κλερ Καστιγιόν, το οποίο έχει γίνει ήδη best seller σε αρκετές χώρες. Εμπεριέχει μονολόγους, που είναι σαν μονόπρακτα και έχουν να κάνουν με τη σχέση μάνας-κόρης, όπου άλλοτε ο θύτης είναι η κόρη και το θύμα η μάνα και άλλοτε το αντίστροφο. Πολλές φορές ακούμε ιστορίες που λέμε ότι είναι ακραίες, αλλά μπορεί να συμβαίνουν στο διπλανό σπίτι. Είναι δύσκολη παράσταση, αλλά την αγαπά πολύ ο κόσμος. Έχω την αίσθηση ότι ταυτίζονται με την προσωπική τους ζωή. Παρουσιάζω δύο μονολόγους. Ο πρώτος αφορά μία γυναίκα που έχει μανιοκατάθλιψη και ο δεύτερος μία μάνα που εισπράττει βία από την κόρη της.

Αναφέρετε ότι ο ένας μονόλογος σχετίζεται με μία γυναίκα που έχει μανιοκατάθλιψη. Μιλώντας για τον καρκίνο τονίσατε ότι περάσατε κατάθλιψη.
Yes, πέρασα κατάθλιψη πριν από τον καρκίνο. Εκ των υστέρων αντιλήφθηκα ότι ο οργανισμός σού δίνει κάποια σήματα.

Λένε ότι η κακή ψυχολογία που έχουμε σε δεδομένες στιγμές της ζωής επηρεάζει τον οργανισμό μας.
Συμφωνώ. Πολλές φορές η ψυχική κατάσταση, το ότι πιέζεσαι από πράγματα φέρνει και σωματική αρρώστια. Εγώ νομίζω ότι υπήρχε ο καρκίνος. Εκ των υστέρων, όταν άρχισα να διαβάζω, διαπίστωσα ότι σου αλλάζει την ιδιοσυγκρασία. Believe, Well, ότι δεν τον είχα αντιληφθεί. Αυτό μου επέφερε μία μορφή κατάθλιψης και, επειδή δεν μου αρέσει να παίρνω χάπια, το πάλευα από μόνη μου. Αυτό με έριξε, με βύθισε. Αγωνιζόμουν να το ξεπεράσω.

Πώς αντιληφθήκατε τον καρκίνο;
Με μία καθιερωμένη μαστογραφία.

Πώς νιώσατε;
Όταν έμαθα ότι έχω καρκίνο, πήρα τις μαστογραφίες στα χέρια μου, πήγα σε μία γωνιά του νοσοκομείου και άρχισα να κλαίω. Χάθηκα. Δεν ήξερα πού βρισκόμουν, τι θα κάνω, τι με περίμενε. Ήταν πολύ βαρύ στο μυαλό μου να μου λένε: «Έχεις καρκίνο. Αύριο πρέπει να κάνεις μία χειρουργική βιοψία για να δούμε αν έχει επεκταθεί». Εκείνη τη στιγμή ήρθε μία γυναίκα δίπλα μου.Ήταν πάρα πολύ όμορφη. Μου είπε: «Γιατί κλαις;». I answered her: «Από ευτυχία!». «Το εννοείς;», he asked me. «Είσαι με τα καλά σου; Έχω καρκίνο», της απάντησα. Τότε μου έδειξε το στήθος της και μου είπε: «Κοίτα! Το έχω περάσει. Μην σε νοιάζει! Αν είναι χειρουργήσιμος, περνάει. Να το θυμάσαι». Μου έδωσε τόσο πολύ κουράγιο αυτή η γυναίκα και είπα: «Θα το παλέψω και θα το αντιμετωπίσω». Την περίοδο των χημειοθεραπειών και των ακτινοβολιών είχα δίπλα μου έναν πολύ καλό ογκολόγο. Μιλούσαμε! Τότε υποσχέθηκα στον εαυτό μου ότι θα μιλάω ανοιχτά γι’ αυτό το θέμα, γιατί έστω και μία γυναίκα να μ’ ακούσει και να δει ότι δουλεύω, συνεχίζω τη ζωή μου κανονικά, το έχω ξεπεράσει και είμαι πολύ καλύτερα, ίσως τη βοηθήσω. Πολλές φορές η αρρώστια μπορεί να είναι ευλογία. Σου δίνει τέτοιο χαστούκι που σε κάνει να εκτιμάς τα πράγματα διαφορετικά. Στη διάρκεια των χημειοθεραπειών έλεγα ότι όταν τελειώσει αυτή η ιστορία θέλω να κοιτώ απλώς τη θάλασσα. Θα είμαι ευτυχισμένη μόνο μ’ αυτό. Έγινα πολύ πιο δυνατός άνθρωπος.

Πώς αντέδρασε ο Σπύρος Παπαδόπουλος όταν του το είπατε;
Έπαθε τεράστιο σοκ και μου συμπαραστάθηκε πάρα πολύ. Μου έδινε πολύ κουράγιο με τον τρόπο που το αντιμετώπιζε. Μου έλεγε: «Είσαι δυνατή! Ξέρω ότι μπορείς να το περάσεις. Θα πας παρακάτω». Με βοήθησε πολύ, όπως και ο γιος μου. Κάναμε πλάκα. Γελούσαμε πολύ. Φορούσα την περούκα, τον έπαιρνα από το σχολείο με το αυτοκίνητο και μου την τραβούσε. Αυτό για
μένα ήταν ψυχοθεραπευτικό.

Ουσιαστικά το αντιμετωπίζατε σαν να μην σημαίνει τίποτε.
Έτσι ακριβώς ήθελα να το περάσω.
