PAL is asking for you to help out our NYC kids! I made a donation, I hope you will!

Remember being a kid who could hardly wait for summer?  Was your reality ever far from what you hoped for?   Some days might have even been downright dull and boring.

 

Well …what about a summer filled with new friends, field trips, softball, volleyball, reading, arts and crafts, dances, parades, contests, board games, exercise, healthy foods, caring and encouraging adults?

 

That’s exactly what’s in store at PAL.  Our summer day camps and playstreets in five New York City boroughs have ways of making learning and growing fun.  Act now so you can give New York City kids a summer to remember.

It is not the critic...Visit Teddy Roosevelt's birth place right here on 20th Street NYC

http://www.nps.gov/thrb

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Theodore Roosevelt quotes (American 26th US President (1901-09), 1858-1919)

Natalia 'Saw Lady" Paruz and a 7th annual Musical Saw Ensemble will be gathering in Queens to attempt to break a Guinness World Record in Queens!

I happily posted this email and you may see me there celebrating having made it to 47 years old wearing a very tight t shirt that says Vote for Tony Avella for Mayor!   Hi Suzannah, I would like to ask you if you could blog on the 7th annual Musical Saw Festival in NYC, please, where an attempt to break the Guinness World Record of the 'Largest Musical Saw Ensemble' will be conducted. The current record, set in Poland last year, is 27 musical saw players. Will we set a new record in NYC on July 18th? The art form of making music with a carpenter's handsaw has been around for 300 years, but has become almost forgotten since the 1930's. The festival set up to make sure this unique art form does not disappear. For the past 7 years Astoria (Queens) became a pilgrimage spot for musical saw players from all over the world. In past years musical saw players from China, Japan, India, Germany, Canada and all over the USA participated. The festival, which is supported by the Queens Council on the Arts, NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and the NY State Council on the Arts, includes a concert, an art exhibit and a workshop - all centered around the musical saw, of course. A video from last year's festival: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mltQGm0_dVE We hope that you would consider mentioning our unique event in your blog, please. It would be huge help to reach out to saw players (we need as many as possible for the Guinness attempt!). Musical saw players should contact the festival a.s.a.p. through the festival's website. When: Saturday, July 18th, 2pm Where: Trinity Church, 31-18 37th Street (37th street at 31st Ave), Astoria (Queens), NYC Admission: $10 More info: www.MusicalSawFestival.org Thank you very much, all the best, Natalia 'Saw Lady' Paruz Founder/director of the annual NYC Musical Saw Festival

Mayor La Guardia, my father and I discuss how outstanding he was.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiorello_La_Guardia

My Dad told me there was a newspaper strike and in those days Sunday papers had the funnies, the cartoons, since the papers were on strike he would read the children the funny papers. My Dad says he was an outstanding person... He would run to all the fires!!!!!!!!! He rushed to see what was going on. The economic times were terrible, my Dad reminisced.

Click on the link and read more.....His mother was Italian and Jewish!   

I know he served three terms but I don't want a third term for Mike Bloomberg.  I want to vote for an Italian American, Tony Avella!

My Dad said again,  La Guardia what an outstanding mayor!

Mike Bloomberg's streets of NY, see link from NY1 water main break 2 years ago but problems keep arising

http://www.ny1.com/Default.aspx?SecID=1000&ArID=69978

Watch my two youtubes on Bloomberg's streets of new york and just this block which you can see on NY1 and the next block which you see in my 2 youtubes seem to be busting open again and again...why is that?

Also giving every perk imaginable and unimaginable to developers who lay down knew infrastructure but connected it to old delipidated infrastructure over supersize so high with heavy trucks and equipment and construction rattling old pipes it is no surprise we have had so many water main breaks, man hole explosions gas leaks etc.

That was why I wanted DEP, DOB and Con Ed to name 3 alone to tell the mayor slow down.

In an ideal world you would make the developers slow down and put infrastructure improvements first but Bloomberg's reckless tsunami of rapid development put speed, supersizng and greed first and the good news for greedy developers is many infrastructure and construction accidents displaced more people which makes room for their greed they refer to as "progress".






See my youtubes on infrastructure -- there are many and my longest one quotes my letter published in AM NY "Destroying 'old' New York" and than William Yardley's in The New York Times that came out after mine but both were before the infrastructure break by Grand Central that did resemble a terror attack, a possibility mentioned in Yardley's piece.

Please help The Animal Rescue Site as sent to be my passionate New Yorker!

PLEASE DO THIS FREE GOOD DEED - ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE 
    
Hi, all you animal lovers . This is pretty simple... Please ask ten friends to ask ten others today!

The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their web site daily to

meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes

less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food

for animals' for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the

number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Officer 9th Precinct no he isn't giving me a ticket

No, I know he is giving me this look like I might be in trouble but he just wants me to get the story right because I asked if that was a robbery.  No it wasn't a robbery but a truck hit this poor car.
