I just clicked an ad on my page

It was Bloomberg Jobs that made me do it.

Ok adsense bonk me on the head, its not like I was earning anything anyway.

Yep I fell for it and when I got there, nothing.

And then I went over to adsense and put a filter in to block these type of ads.

I for one don't need this mayor's $80 million.

Driving "Loans" without a Conscience

When you read the WSJ report on the GM bankruptcy that is planned for Monday don't forget our government views GM through financial institution glasses and as such has already given GM $20 billion in "loans" (the kind you don't have to pay back) and on Monday Obama's nation will adopt more of a bad thing when it loans GM yet another $30 billion to see it through bankruptcy.

You have to ask "Quelle" on the reason why GM is bankrupt to realize the premise of such is not TARP-able, their defunct automobile business has very little to do with assets and equity from financial institutions other than new cars financed by home equity loans. Bondholders will lose big in this bankruptcy despite the government's artificial sweetener. You'll be seeing losses again in your pension plans. Does this government ever do anything for the people? As yet in the 56 years I've been around it surely has not. In the past nine years my pension plan has lost over $60,000 because of the government panhandling for corrupt corporations; when will these goons stop!

"The Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions in order to strengthen its financial sector. "

Notes of Conscience:
"The UAW would end up with at least a 17.5% stake in the new company after agreeing to concessions that will save GM about $10 billion in obligations to retiree health care as well as billions more in labor costs."--WSJ
Don't you just love the Obama nation, where nothing changes, the same corruption and lack of health care continues.

The auto industry is dead, its a loser investment.

I've never owned a car in my life and I don't think I ought to suffer in any way for those that have. In New York City drivers of autos have ruined all our health and continue to do so. They stand out like sore thumbs. The other day I noticed a UPS brown truck exhausting fumes and idling. Well noted! A few months ago hospital buses idling out in front of Lenox Hill Hospital, the exhaust fumes were all in that hospital. Deplorable!

New York City Mayor Refuses to Answer Tough Questions

1. Who is getting the $80 million dollars he is paying for his third-term campaign?

2. Why are the Brooklyn libraries being closed down to 1970 levels?

3. Why was Donnell Library closed this past August when its buyer bowed out of the sale?

4. Why are city hospitals the worst in the nation?

5. Why is New York City Not Smoke Free?


Libraries 'R Us

We the people own the libraries. They embrace our fundamental right, Freedom of Speech. State and City laws have accumulated and needs rethinking. We must seek change.--VenusNewYork December 17, 2007

Its perfectly hilarious what's going on with our American leadership

How could you ever hope that things would change when the players remain the same?

Everyone in the White House today is merely a shadow of yesterday's White House.

Clinton and Obama and our own New York Attorney General forced the corrupt banks to give bad loans and then provided a means for these banks to make whatever remedies they would, you know, do the best you can.

But really who cares if GM and Chrysler sink their already sunk ships, wouldn't it be better for America anyway? Over half of the population is suffering and dying from lung problems due to automotive fumes and pollutants.

Can't say enough about the artist I met last weekend, his photo gallery junk, see junk gallery here America, is worth more than a 1,000 words, says so much about the way America really is and I am waiting for a change, a real change.

In Memoriam Iraq 2003

In 2003 I created a blog for a blogathon for the cause of Ploughshares Fund, Investing in Security and Peace Worldwide, Support


The blog was severely hacked and all the photos lost on the photo host that was hacked as well.
I have not yet had time to put all my mandalas or poster up again. Imagine that, already, six (6) years have passed. I will make it my mission to do so in the next few months and to put forth another cause for these soldiers and people in Iraq and Afghanistan. God bless, you are a soldier and your mission is to serve your country.


"The first official recognition of a Memorial Day was made by General John A. Logan, first commander of the Grand Army of the Republic (see The Order; the Grand Army of the Republic was an organization of Civil War veterans). On May 5, 1868, he issued General Order No. 11 establishing May 30th as a day of honoring the dead. The order required all men throughout his organization to spend some portion of the day policing the gravesites and decorating them and observing such ceremonies as their duties allowed. It was hoped that it would spark a similar interest in the general population of this country."--The origins of Memorial Day

In the NYC: Observing traffic lights for a few cars

is not fun at all, especially when it is a holiday.

Should we, the NYC pedestrian, the celebrator of the environment and people's lungs, pay homage to the selfish people in cars? Why do those people not walk or use public transportation? There ought to be a law. The tables should turn with the drivers worshipping the pedestrian instead.

At any rate surely there is a need for a modified Barnes' dance in New York City. On holidays the vehicular traffic should have to wait forever while the pedestrians dance not the other way around.

We must find a mayor who is truly smoke-free (meaning pedestrians and drivers shall no longer be able to wave their cigarettes about and throw them lit upon the street; they shall not be able to blow smoke onto people who are waiting at bus stops, traffic stops and exiting MTA tunnels and escalators. The law for such civilized behavior has been around since 1986 but still this writer hasn't heard from the NYC commissioner after two years sitting on their big think, I am waiting, thump, thump and by the way I've changed my address.)

In a Bloomberg-free city the Barnes' dance shall prevail on all streets and avenues and smokers must get real with their nicotine habits in a den or an alley, far far away from reasonable society.

Our current NYC mayor has failed miserably on traffic and smoke-free. He prohibits a few bars from smoking, creates a plan to allow only his friends to drive for a pittance in a zone that includes his home and now he wants to prohibit traffic on Broadway (see In Theory only). Just as creating streets is poor resolution, so cutting off streets, another avenue will become the new New Broadway to take on the damage. The whole traffic pie picture is about humble accountability. If you don't have an incredibly good reason to be driving, you should not be on the road, end of story and your own pitiful conscience should be the enforcer, hint, hint. Are we a democracy or are we a monarchy? I'd say taking away the freedom to breathe ends the democracy story.

"[Barnes] In his own words (from his autobiography, The Man with the Red and Green Eyes):
As things stood now, a downtown shopper needed a four-leaf clover, a voodoo charm, and a St. Christopher's medal to make it in one piece from one curbstone to the other. As far as I was concerned--a traffic engineer with Methodist leanings--I didn't think that the Almighty should be bothered with problems which we, ourselves, were capable of solving. Therefore, I was going to aid and abet prayers and benedictions with a practical scheme: Henceforth, the pedestrian--as far as Denver was concerned--was going to be blessed with a complete interval in the traffic signal cycle all his own. First of all, there would be the usual red and green signals for vehicular traffic. Let the cars have their way, moving straight through or making right turns. Then a red light for all vehicles while the pedestrians were given their own signal. In this interim, the street crossers could move directly or diagonally to their objectives, having free access to all four corners while all cars waited for a change of lights."

London Reconnections: Overhauling Oxford Street


Only a few avenues over I found love for America, human rights, the individual's freedom and

and appreciation for a dynamic and understanding society.

Long lines out in front of Guggenheim today...
And well there should be.
Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Guggenheim with events derived from the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, Kadinsky and Thannhauser.

Don't miss this one on Wednesday,June 10, 6:30pm:
Honoring Taliesin Fellow Lois Gottlieb, this special evening program features the premiere of "A Girl Is A Fellow Here": 100 Women Architects in the Studio of Frank Lloyd Wright, a new 15-minute documentary film produced by the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation.--Guggenheim
A vendor outside the museum captured my attention with his photo of cars on a Utah mountain. The artist is self-taught with vivid perceptions about the American and his environment. I used some of my birthday money to buy my faux twin a gift for his upcoming birthday. He loves cars and Mother Earth, that uncanny combo, the picture a perfect match. See the site and enjoy: http://www.alkadabra.com/

A couple of blocks down at the Metropolitan Museum of Fine Art I stopped to watch a magnficent talent sketching t-shirts. See his site: Soheil Tavakoli -- http://www.soheiltavakoli.com His t-sketches are at http://www.soheiltavakoli.com/stf/products.cfm?catid=34

He is the artist whose works include human rights and the individual's freedom and appreciation of America as a dynamic and understanding society. See profile.

Racketeers Fume over the Law

Deceiving the public, something the tobacco industry managed to do quite well under the Bush regime, is illegal.

Under the Bush regime, 2004-2007, the tobacco industry was able to significantly soften their 1999 racketeering charges while name-sake Democrats helped put the racketeers on the FDA board of directors.

"The leader of the Justice Department team that prosecuted a landmark lawsuit against tobacco companies said yesterday that Bush administration political appointees repeatedly ordered her to take steps that weakened the government's racketeering case."--The Smokers' Club
"An increased smoke pH would liberate nicotine free base from its salts to give a greater chest impact. The present work has been directed towards the use of gaseous ammonia for such a tobacco treatment. "--low tar secrets for nicotine addicts, 1977
The other day I passed a window display ad on the street. The ad was an endorsement by a consumer lawyer for an air cleaner for tobacco that was cleared by the FDA. It is a fact that no ventilation or air cleaning scheme will help eliminate the harmful gaseous phase of cigarette smoke. One smoker in a building jeopardizes a building's structure and its tenants' health.

A $14 20-inch box fan and $9 3M filtrette would be more effective at trying to clean the mess up. Still, the non-nuisance tenant would experience the hundreds of thousands of cancerous and harmful chemical particles while the solution tried to grab and clean them up. Oh, wait a minute, are you telling me that your breath is slower than a $999 machine? I think not, and that machine cannot accept anything less than .03 micron when in fact cigarette smoke measurement starts at .01 or less. While the air cleaner was a freebie for the lawyer and the smoker, I do wonder at a lawyer who would not test the effectiveness of such a cleaner before endorsing it, particularly since he has a small child.

Meanwhile the "industry" keeps appealing the court's decision (see
Busted on the obvious, "light" and "low-tar") whining that the decision is not backed up by law.

Fail Whale has become so generic in my life that

My first draft of Motion to Compel Discovery had a Fail Whale page for Exhibit 1.

When I told the two judges that the defendant had not submitted answers or documents for discovery requests that were served August 2008; both of the two judges, 9-16-08 and 12-15-08, did a Fail Whale.

The story of a fail whale.

Corruption? or fail whale? I thought it would be more politically correct to say Fail Whale.

I am so glad I don't live in Fort George anymore

I don't have to take the subway anymore, I can walk everywhere.

I don't have to sacrifice the quality of food, there is abundance here.

My water is not white, greasy and smelly.

I am paying $100 less a month to be and live somewhere and I am glad I am no longer suffering for $100 more to be nowhere.

My life is now WOW! I'm lovin' it.

Sacrificing my blog for the law

I do hope soon to resurface on my blog.

I've been in court since last May 2008 fighting for the right to breathe in my apartment.

Hopefully soon I will be able to blog more.

Apparently when you are a plaintiff in court you are treated like a criminal and your whole life is invaded, everything you write, everything you think you must give it up.

Everything you breath, nah! They don't give a flying F!

The true meaning of Memorial Day

honoring those who have died in service to their country?


Remember the Southern ladies who went around putting flowers upon the graves of the confederate soldiers? It is their message of compassion, forgiveness and remembrance that has captured the only true meaning of the day that once was Memorial day. For in that day they also placed flowers upon the union graves, they found forgiveness perhaps through not knowing truth or experiencing what I have in my life. Still they found it and bless them for that, their acts are monumental.

The summer right after high school I rode through the south all the way up to Arlington, Virginia. The lands still suffered from the devastation of the Northern soldiers. Mansions and lands still devastated and people living in abject poverty. It is a story retold in my family from the generations that went through it. Mansfield College was attended by my great great great aunt, Jemima Constantine, at the time that they turned it into the hospital for the Battle of Red River, a battle in which the raping and pillaging North thought they would take control of not only Louisiana but Texas. Did they not know about don't mess with Texas? No they did not, but they surely found out. The Texans came and batted the toads down.

What I found in New York was extreme racism, not only of those of color but by color to the white. There was much segregation by color, so cleverly done by economics. Just as these brazen people assaulted us in Houston by busing us and not protecting us, just children, from bats swung at us while waiting for a bus to take us many miles home. We were bused by the federal government. Who are they? They have done nothing for me ever. I am sure they are not a part of America. I am a part of America. Two of my direct descendants signed the Mayflower compact of the first colony of America. One was John Alden (I being the product of his union with Priscilla Mullens) and the other George Soule (the youngest signer of the pact, he is the greats grandfather of my great grandmother, Florence Soule, born in Washington State, don't you just admire the pioneer story?) I am the direct descendant of delila, first daughter of John Robertson, the father of the american revolution and father of Nashville, Tennesse and also called father of Tennessee. My great great uncles lived and served here in New York City, I want to know more about Eli Vondersmith, the elder brother of my great, great grandmother Sarah Ann Vondersmith. He had a pharmacy and a doctor's office. Despite being a damned yankee who served the union's president, he was very creative and seems politically correct despite his civil war service.

This is what I know America to be, one of democracy and ideas and fairness. Where has it gone so early, now in 1970.

The men here in New York City are very vulgar and have no manners. I cross the road when I see them coming, I avoid them The labor law allows harassment and discrimination of women, I must keep moving to stay out of their grasp. I find them mocking, saying I am so intelligent and that I wouldn't want to go with them there blah, I say "EXACTLY!". One thing for sure I am female and perhaps femme fatale and regardless, as such, we have less rights than those of color in the North. The North's cause was economy civil war time and again, to this day, they still hold true to this cause taking swipes at the South by taking more than their share, for the same reason, economy, yet did noone observe but me, the people being swiped are those of color. I am glad I am living here and somehow feel blessed with these troubles, as I do not just keep moving just anywhere, I am moving up, I am now the apes' boss. The Intelligence not visible to these apes will always win the day, trust and believe, victory is yours.--VenusNewYork Memorial Day 1972

Reduced by One (update) Oh Boner! Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi?

When Daily Intel writes of prostitutes and johns on craigslist, oh my?

Who in the world are they talking about? Real estate dealers, law firm johns, temporary agency johns, the partnerships of New York State Labor Department and New York State Medicaid program? Want to know more? I can tell you all about it.

Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi?

Oh well craigslist soon to join facebook as proud accomplishments of the only elected official who officially claims an office in New York State. No bones about it, these are luxury items.

Could we have real defense for real people please?

Update ---> Workplace harassment is "not" condoned by NYS Department of Labor. They "are" in touch with the New York Senate law on workplace harassment, Thank goodness my brief is with them and it so clearly states factually what was going on. Hurrah maybe at least one New York State department is dishing out some justice today and quick, yesterday was the hearing and today I received the decision. I find it fair enough! Honestly I don't even have a moment more to think about it, I just need to do this update and hasta la vista baby on to much more concentration on finding a quality job with a good moral compass!!

The New York State Medicaid office is denying Medicaid after 60+ days? The max on that is 45 days, why are they taking 60 days. I went in person to the local office and they said fill out a new application. I said I will not. You are practicing discrimination and I have filled out an application correctly, it was approved by the signed person. I have provided the proof that they ask a question about. She said m'aam you are rejected. I said look I am not going to any hearing, this will be a federal case and it will be for a million. I will take it to the world.

She gets up, goes in the file, reads it. Says it doesn't cover your expenses. I say I want to speak to the supervisor. I tell her about the horrors of medicaid and how I have needed emergency medical care for well over 60 days, that I can't sit down without my lungs making a noise, that I have been exposed to horrific amounts of cigarette smoke. The person looks at the file and says here it is, its right here. She says I now have to write a letter explaining that as if I would go away. They said come back. I said I will not, I will stand at this counter and write the letter now. Then I give the letter to this person and she reads it and is disgruntled. It gives credit where credit is due. It says I will be borrowing from my 401K plan and credit cards as I told your processor at the beginning of this application and has been provided to you in this application.

The processors were all discussing my debt plan at my application. They wanted to know why I didn't go on disability. I said because I don't want to live with this bureaucracy, I just need a tiny bit of help right now. I was sent back home twice because they did not want annual statement but a statement printed off the web. To be sent back home is a horror story. You will spend 2 hours in line and another 2 to 3 hours in the room. Even though I had a social security card and up-to-date New York State ID they wanted a birth certificate. Why? Because they are trying to entrap you, they hope you will give up. It is the same game as the New York State Unemployment Insurance. Ever wonder why they won't extend someone because they have $50 a month in their account? Easy answer. Ever wonder why they say the money disappears though you had $12000 in the account and only used $75 due to their calculated games and inefficiencies? They want to string you out until there is nothing. Integrity? Never heard of it there. Many of the accepted Medicaid applicants are lifetime applicants who own their homes, receive Section 8 or 80/20. They are not required to borrow from their homes.

The above acts are discriminatory to say the least and if our New York State Attorney General does not find them luxury enough I am sure I can file some humdinger federal cases quite soon, not that I am planning to of course.

See Bone Buster. Cheers to all who do not suffer residency in New York State or City. Thank God that you do not have to suffer destitution and discrimination and outright illegal maneuvers because you are an honest tax payer in New York. More to come soon...

Not a day passes when I don't think of what a great man my dad is

My Dad passed away in January, it was not a peaceful passing, it was besought by botchups from hospitals and hospice care funded by our great government promise to people when they become senior.

Still my Dad faced the horror of it all in peace and bravery.

He'll always be my greatest role model, surely I've never met such a man of integrity and honor, someone who appreciated relationships, people and remained loyal to them and his family. He was the sole supporter of a large family and still he took the time to play, motivate and see that his children had the right care. He took time to be with his wife fully. He took time to breathe the fresh air and all that nature offered.

Its no wonder I remember him with gratitude and awe each day. He's the only true hope I've ever known. He achieved so much without the internet, he was the source of true intelligence.

Lovin' It

I've taken the Lexington Line once since moving to Yorkville, Upper East Side, NYC. Yeah, once is enough. Wild and wooly, pushing and shoving.

There were some members of the under 14 crowd on the train viewing a McDonald's subway ad for Chicken Strips. They were beaming out energetic joy as they cried "I'm lovin it."

Its refreshing to know that some crowds are still touched by MTA Subway Advertising. I tried to look at the ad, alas too crowded, on the internet McDonald's has been pushing poultry via strips since 2002, hmm, guess you've got to be in the 'i'm lovin it' crowd.

by the way re Living on the Upper East Side, NYC, ---I'm Lovin It :)
