Georgina Bloomberg almost breaks her ankle riding her horse, New Yorkers almost break their ankles and necks just walking in NYC thanks to her Dad!
Could you imagine if her horses were treated the way her father treats the people of NY. I wish someone would knock on her horses' stable doors and notify her the horses have to be moved because of eminent domain abuse. Imagine her horses having to walk on the streets of NYC that were better in Colonial Times thanks to her Dad! Being mega rich and living in a bubble must be such a joy. New Yorkers almost break their ankles and their necks thanks to her Dad doing such a lousy job as mayor -- the streets are in awful dangerous shape.

Accidental gov. gently intimidated victim to silence?
Paterson if he had an ounce of integrity and understood right from wrong should have resigned than and there. It is possible in the gentlest and quiet of ways he completely and aggressively intimidated her in to silence and if so he deserves to be behind bars as well although we know that will never happen.

Mike Bloomberg puppet master Christine Quinn Deputy Goldsmith
http://queenscrap.blogspot.com/2010/07/too-close-for-comfort.html
I do not know who took this photo but it is posted on Queen's Crap. There is Mike Bloomberg's puppet Christine Quinn and Mike is toooooo the right pulling her strings...see and to the left is the new republican deputy mayor Stephen Goldsmith who appears to be anti-gay marriage.
Look Christine Quinn has her mouth wide open and Mike Bloomberg and Stephen Goldsmith have their eyes shut.
Note the expressions of Quinn's co-workers....

Deputy Stephen Goldsmith The NYPost runs an anonymous piece dishonest & wishing him well!
Deputy Goldsmith is an inarticulate guy who thinks he can reform Albany and he would have more luck getting the Mafia to become vegetarians! He was introduced as a Jane Jacobs just like Mike Bloomberg's mini-me Christine Quinn was at the Jane Jacobs Street signing even though Quinn has gotten kickbacks from developers as in campaign donations for smoothing their way crushing our communities. I don't like Rudy but Goldsmith doesn't have an ounce of his "rudi-ness". When asked about gay marriage he went on and on for way too long than saying he did not want to answer questions that were political social aka he is anti-gay marriage AND HE WANTS TO CLOSE FIREHOUSES. He did not seem to understand the difference between a engine and a ladder and why we need them both in a firehouse. YouTube search engine type my name and his name to see two YouTube - mine and an activist showing him his embarrassing inarticulateness and cowardly non-speak. Bloomberg is nuts to bring in a republican especially now and I believe just like hiring his campaign staff burdening tax payers to the tune of 2 million and going national w/his donations = eye on Presidency. Watch the YouTube and see someone awkward, a disaster for the people and NYC which he is clueless about as well as how the press is not reporting the real news on this guy.

Listen to him say "thank you" when I tell him about NYC's infrastructure is shot and that I hope he will help the people of NY and again he says thank you translated in to "F-you" you are dismissed.
Watch him on this YouTube and hear his non-speak, his cowardly non-answer which I interpret as he is anti-gay marriage and there doesn't believe in equal rights.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdMmTFbsD2A&feature=watch_response
Please explain how straight people get off denying gay people equal rights to marriage when straight people are marriage gluttons, getting married 2,3,4,5 times?
Some anti-gay people are closeted gays.
Special note: Goldsmith could not handle questions from 2 white male reporters. He was out of his league and does not belong in New York politics.

king Mike Bloomberg uses NYPD as concierge for him and his party of friends
http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/07/23/2010-07-23_scarlet_johansson_to_star_in_spy_flick_gravity_will_ferrell_displays_his_megamin.html
NYPD officers can proudly say they were Mike Bloomberg's concierge!
We know the mayor gets them swanky hotel rooms when they go to Bermuda with him!
Dear Capt. Winski: Please explain how these cars are not breaking the law, it says no parking, no standing, loading and unloading only
Note: The empty Range Rover has a note to please not ticket as if anyone of these "special people" aka above the law ever get ticketed.
I called and left a message for Capt. Winski to please explain because maybe there is something I am missing.
To learn more about the manager I call "super skank" Michael Rawson for calling the NYPD on Korean War and Viet Nam Vet Vendors google The Mercer Hotel on this blog search engine. Did Michael Rawson serve our Country in any wars? He has guys that survived by 2 inches in Viet Nam ticketed for 2 inches...yet The Mercer Hotel never gets ticketed. I asked for drug sniffing dogs for the front door and even wondered if Elliot Spitzer like behavior goes on there.
Meanwhile New Yorkers are being ticketed up to their eyeballs for everything possible and often tickets that will be tossed out by people that go to court to fight them but maybe Andre Balazs and Michael Rawson can give a seminar to New Yorkers on how to be a ticket free zone while you have the NYPD ticket United State Veteran that heroically gave their service for country. Ironically many first responders that died 9-11 where also highly decorated serving in the military and within their departments. Sad the NYPD are sent out to ticket and harass our Veterans when many are or their parents served in the military as well.
Also very lucky for The Mercer Hotel the NYPD do not do stop and frisks there....
I have never done a drug in my life. I have never even smoked pot. I would love to see stop and frisk and a drug sniffing dog pay a visit to the entrance of The Mercer Hotel and I would stand right next to the NYPD two legged and four legged officers. I do not think you can donate gallons of platelets and do two hour white blood cell donations to help people save lives if you do drugs do you. I guess NYC has so many drug users not as many people donate blood as is needed. Donate blood if you can. It is too bad there are people above the law, high on their power trips and can't seem to spend energy giving their platelets or some appreciation and kindness to Veterans that served our Country rather than demanding the NYPD harass them and ticket them.
Make sure to go to this blog search engine and type in Mercer Hotel and see all the postings....
Suzannah B. Troy one of those elite NYers that has scar tissues in her arm from donating gallons of platelets
I was donating large amounts of platelets and I have donated white blood cells twice which is a 2 hour process with a needle in each arm.
Yes, I am part of an elite group of New Yorkers that have scare tissue in both arms for donating gallons of platelets.
I do not donate anymore. My medical doctor and acupuncturists said I have to save all my blood and energy for myself and rest which is not easy to do in NYC.

King Mike thinks rich will flee NYC but they already declare Florida, Virgin Islands, Conn. anywhere but NYC their home base
King Mike please explain why someone like Jeffrey Epstein that get sprung early from jail by the Feds calls Virgin Islands his home when he owns one of the biggest houses in NYC. Could you imagine if you could tax him as a NYC residence. Why do the top firms here in NYC urge their mega rich clients to declare anywhere but NY as their main residence? Why were all the celebrities that endorsed you Mike Bloomberg unable to vote for you Mike. Because they don't declare NYC as their home even though they use the city as their playground and playing field to make mega bucks. John Sexton pres. of NYU who earns according to nypost 1.8 million dollars ran down to testify you must have a 3rd term (to aid and abett his in real estate greed and abuse using his not for profit status) and I wonder if he can vote for you or if he declares Martha Vineyard his main residence or anywhere but NYC?

Yetta Kurland update on efforts to get a hospital where St. Vincent's was
Dear Neighbor,
Last night close to a hundred members of the Coalition for a New Village
Hospital along with other community members came out to the Community Board 2
Full Board Meeting to demand that a resolution to lock the land use at the site
of St. Vincent's be put on the agenda for the next meeting.
I am going to be honest, we weren't optimistic, but we were determined,
committed and we are on the right side.
In the sweltering heat of Elizabeth Irwin High School's auditorium, person after
person got up to repeat the message; we need a hospital back at the site of St.
Vincent's, we don't need another needs assessment, we need to lock the use of
the land so it can only be a hospital.
The Board listened, and I am delighted to report, no actually I am ecstatic to
report, that thanks to the courageous efforts of several Community Board Members
and the continued hard work of so many of you who have been fighting since the
hospital closed on April 30th... we didn't get it on the agenda... WE PASSED THE
RESOLUTION!
That's right, the Board passed a resolution that put a land lock on the property
to stop any changes to the zoning, certificate of occupancy or other part of the
land use that would eliminate the hospital use. It also called on the
Bankruptcy Court to be advised of this and to petition the Court to set up a
Community Council with the help of New York City Corporation Counsel to let the
Court know we want a hospital on the site of St. Vincent's and to be engaged in
the Bankruptcy Court's procedures.
I will send around a copy of the resolution as soon as it is available, but in
the meantime I wanted to share this news with you as soon as possible.
This is especially meaningful given the recent statement by Speaker Christine
Quinn in Chelsea Now that she "will continue our push for a full service
hospital here". The Community Board and the City Council will play the key role
in determining the future of St. Vincent's when it comes to the heavy real
estate interests surrounding the area. Now, with a commitment from both it is
substantially more hopeful that we can in fact ensure the site is only used for
a hospital.
Next, we have to make it happen now, with the infrastructure that already
exists. This is up to us and our statewide officials to put pressure on
Commissioner Daines to obey the law. New York Public Health Law requires that
the Department of Health affirmatively make a finding that there is no need
for a hospital before it takes away the services of a hospital. In the near
future we will be sending around a letter to Commissioner Daines and we hope you
will get your electeds, tenant associations, block associations and other
community groups to sign off.
I am very happy to share this victory with you and want to personally thank you
all.
In solidarity,
Yetta

S Factor Suzannah B. Troy celebrates turning 48 big time fun using a pole to work out
I did not wear the very sexy attire -- and less is more when you want to stick to, glide and slide around on a pole but I had a lot of fun despite a very long day that started at 4am!
I am so tired but this is a blast. Actress Sheila Kelly created this work-out after she trained for a movie role and realized it was a great work out but with her insights it could be about sexual empowerment, self acceptance and sensuousness. I was really impressed how sensuous the experience was...very.
This is for women only. There are no mirrors, the lights are down low and it is about getting sexy for yourself first and foremost and being comfortable in your skin what ever your body size. The friend that got me here is 60 and she told me there is a 70 year old woman working out as well so there is a full spectrum of young women on up and all with the same goal - to work out, have fun and sexiness from a place of self acceptance and empowerment.
If men reading this have not figured it out...have you noticed women speed up to avoid you on the street and all kinds of interesting behavior to keep guys away....? Well in this class it is about slowing down and Sheila Kelly provides a safe supportive environment to slow down, get sexy!
S factor will give you quite an ab work-out as well as getting in touch with your sensuousness and your wild sex kitten just roaring to get out and s-express herself!!!!!
Highly recommended. You might get a few bruises on your shin.
I have no dancing background...when my beautiful teacher Loretta that looks like she walked out of a Gaugin painting said something about pointing my toe...I told her my foot is cramping and just grabbed the bar and twirled around swinging my hips for momentum. She praised me. I said it was either move or cramp.
I have no idea how to do this but it was either cramp and die or move and have a blast.
Side note: For professional women that do this it is very, very hard work and they deserve every thing they earn plus more.
The S Factor has a shop as well with fun undies and t-shirt and massive high heels which you will never, ever see me in. I cannot walk in high heels.
I read Sheila Kelly's book when it first came out almost a decade ago (?) was it really that long ago...and I loved it. Especially the way she emphasized self acceptance as you are right now.
Total blast, recommended, not inexpensive. They have a payment plan and day time prices during the week may get you a discounted.

Besides allegedly cutting his girlfriend's face, refusing to call 911 and taking her to the closest hospital he also treated the tax payers just like here joining an even bigger thug Pedro Espada in bringing Albany to a complete standstill which cost the tax payers' a massive fortune as if we are not in a massive budget crisis we needed a big hole dug.

Mayor Mike Bloomberg's Deputy Anti-Gay & a disaster? by Suzannah B. Troy
I telephoned City Hall, actually the mayor's office, 8 am yesterday to speak to the new "deputy" in town, Deputy Stephen Goldsmith. I met him the day before at The Crain's breakfast for him and a few hundred business people and two activists, me and a friend.
Watch the YouTube I am posting and hear how he responds to my questions. He shook my hand and it was a hand shake I can only describe as a small dead fish; completely limp and disingenuous. He said, "thank you" to me twice actually. Each time I felt he was saying, "F-you, you are now dismissed." Don't actually ask me questions about politics, infrastructure and the harsh reality the people of New York actually need people in office that will be their advocate and work and fight for them.
The woman that answered the phone for the mayor's office transferred me over to Goldsmith's office. You see, he did not give me his card. He did hand out his business card but not to me. What ever I looked like or perhaps my questions some how registered as not a person to hand your business card to.
So much for Crain's and their networking. What was clear from the Crain's breakfast is besides my questions before the event started and the questions of only two news reporters who happened to be -- you guessed it -- two white males -- Stephen Goldsmith could not handle the heat or should I say pressure of their questions. He won't be here long. He won't make it as long as Dollarbill Dan Doctoroff who left king Mike's public empire to re-join his private empire.
Dan considered himself the man in charge of infrastructure until the steam pipe explosion that looked like a terror attack by Grand Central. You see, I would call and email him about the way too rapid development and NY's old infrastructure. I made it clear I felt Bloomberg and he were endangering us and were leaving a hell of a mess for when they actually left office.
Dollar bill Dan quietly and quickly left office. Bye, bye.
Stephen Goldsmith thinks he can take on Albany. Good luck Stephen. You would have better luck taking on the Mafia perhaps converting them to vegetarianism.
Good old Stephen thinks he can come in here and at the Crain's hosted breakfast talk about closing firehouses. Bloomberg and his socialite mega millionaire city planner called Amanda the peoples' Burden aided their developers pal in a reckless tsunami of shady development helping to create mass displacement, perhaps a record number of people displaced and a record number of infrastructure related problems from water main breaks, sewage, Con Ed problems as well as expansion so over the top Con Ed set a record hiring outside contractors, to the worst street conditions seen in years with DOT repaving streets not once but twice or even more than twice.
Why do the streets look like bombs went off on them. If the FDNY is not answering fire calls they are responding to infrastructure problems including man hole cover exploding with dramatic fires that so far have not caused any deaths...so far. We have had heart breaking deaths including children to fires and what does Deputy Goldsmith do at his first Crain's hosted breakfast?
This highly inarticulate man in a very expensive suit with an impressive gold tie tells us he will be closing fire houses.
Interestingly enough Crain's video taped the entire embarrassing disaster for Goldsmith and his new boss king Mike Bloomberg but Crain's did not release any of the let us say awkward or controversial moments and they were many. Crain's released just a small piece on video on their website. Mike has been very lucky with the press that way.
Listening to Goldsmith speak, I never heard some one talk so much to give so many 'non-answers'.
Why would Bloomberg hire a Republican this late in the game unless he wants to cater not to the people of NYC but to the conservatives he hopes to woe when he pursues his one big unrealized dream....running for President of the United States? That is why it is believed Bloomberg took his charitable giving national instead of local. It is why I believe he burdens the tax payers to the tune of 2 million dollars post-his third term hiring so many campaign staff with 6 figure salaries. Why hire them after the election unless he feels he wants them close at hand to pursue his last chance at perhaps one of his biggest dreams unrealized. Bloomberg doesn't fully grasp that he displaced so many people and angered even more denying us a referendum that he paid a record amount of money to barely win the most humiliating and expensive win in NYC history. He won't win a presidency or any political office again. He is very smart and accomplished but he lost sight of the fact he serves the people. He now hired Goldsmith who is not a people person and clearly doesn't represent New Yorkers. Goldsmith looks at this city as some corporate business model.
Denial is the new crack cocaine for politicos from Albany to City Hall.
The one issue Goldsmith was clear on is the devastating budget crisis coming our way here in NYC next year. As usual it was as if no one heard what he had to say and city council will continue to vote themselves raises and give slush money to charities where their life partner (what is Christine Quinn's significant other's name) sits on a board, ditto for their wives, brothers, sisters, husbands, etc.
Albany and City Hall politicians are 2nd to last to deal with the harsh reality of what are terrible economic crisis is coming our way because they contributed to it hugely and Albany still has not dealt effectively with the budget crisis. The last people to deal with and won't be able to escape it like the politicians here in NYC are the people.
Under Bloomberg the city saw a new wave of "sexual McCarthyism" with two women owned Adult Toy Stores Babeland raided and after the raid Babeland is now no longer allowed to rent adult films, some that were instructional but all that a guy like Goldsmith would call porno. Rumor on the street is the NYPD were picking their super elite hottie cops to entrap gay men in adult book stores.
Goldsmith hemmed and hawed at the Crain's breakfast but after a very long non-answer he sure sounded like he said he is anti-gay marriage which I interpret as he does not believe in equal rights. In America we have straight people that are marriage gluttons having been married 2, 3, 4, 5 times but people like Goldsmith would deny gay people the right to even one marriage?
Why would Mike Bloomberg bring in a conservative Republican who wants to privatize everything unless he has his eye on the White House? Either way Goldsmith will not be here long. He said in his non-speak. Hey guys why are you asking me such tough questions.
Goldsmith is out of touch with New Yorkers and a fish out of water in NYC.
I left him a voice mail on Deputy Goldsmith's answering machine at City Hall. I want a STRAIGHT forward answer, no hemming and hawing, do you believe in gay marriage and equal rights? I left my telephone number.
I have not heard back from him.
Watch the YouTube I am posting and hear how he responds to my questions. He shook my hand and it was a hand shake I can only describe as a small dead fish; completely limp and disingenuous. He said, "thank you" to me twice actually. Each time I felt he was saying, "F-you, you are now dismissed."

Albany and City Hall politicians are 2nd to last to deal with the harsh reality of what are terrible economic crisis is coming our way because they contributed to it hugely and Albany still has not dealt effectively with the budget crisis. The last people to deal with and won't be able to escape it like the politicians here in NYC are the people.
Under Bloomberg the city saw a new wave of "sexual McCarthyism" with two women owned Adult Toy Stores Babeland raided and after the raid Babeland is now no longer allowed to rent adult films, some that were instructional but all that a guy like Goldsmith would call porno. Rumor on the street is the NYPD were picking their super elite hottie cops to entrap gay men in adult book stores.
Goldsmith hemmed and hawed at the Crain's breakfast but after a very long non-answer he sure sounded like he said he is anti-gay marriage which I interpret as he does not believe in equal rights. In America we have straight people that are marriage gluttons having been married 2, 3, 4, 5 times but people like Goldsmith would deny gay people the right to even one marriage?
Why would Mike Bloomberg bring in a conservative Republican who wants to privatize everything unless he has his eye on the White House? Either way Goldsmith will not be here long. He said in his non-speak. Hey guys why are you asking me such tough questions.
Goldsmith is out of touch with New Yorkers and a fish out of water in NYC.
I left him a voice mail on Deputy Goldsmith's answering machine at City Hall. I want a STRAIGHT forward answer, no hemming and hawing, do you believe in gay marriage and equal rights? I left my telephone number.
I have not heard back from him.

Yetta Kurland sending out a notice for community meeting tomorrow St. Vincent's
Dear Neighbor,
I want to remind you tomorrow, Thursday at 6pm there is a full meeting of Community Board 2. It is located at Elizabeth Irwin High School at 40 Charlton Street in the auditorium.
The Coalition is asking that people attend to speak in the public portion of the meeting. You have to be there by 6pm to sign up to speak. It doesn't have to be long but you should stress two points:
There was a resolution passed by CB2 at their last meeting calling for a needs assessment to be done on the healthcare needs of the community. While we believe this was a well intentioned effort to get a hospital back, it incorrectly puts the burden on the community and shifts it from the New York State Department of Health. As clearly codified in Public Health Law it is the Department of Health who has the obligation to either continue the services uninterrupted that St. Vincent's offered or in the alternative affirmatively determine that there is no need for a hospital, a process which would involve significant public input.
What we hope CB2 will make clear through resolution is that they want the Department of Health to comply with its requirements and ensure a hospital in the community. In specific, we are asking CB2 to pass a resolution calling for a lock the land use on the buildings at the site of St. Vincent's so that it may only be used for a hospital. As a necessary part of the ULURP process this would be a very powerful step and would ensure that this land was preserved for a hospital. We are therefore requesting that CB2 pass such a resolution and that they allow the Omnibus Committee on St. Vincent's to put these issues on the agenda for their upcoming meeting.
Please let as many people know about this meeting, we really need a big turnout and please prepare a statement of your own to say that includes the above points.
Hope to see you there.
