Posted on 13 Jan 2010
The Delaware General Assembly convened on Tuesday with budget and financial concerns at the top of a busy legislative agenda that also includes several issues that could impact the property-casualty insurance industry, according to the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America.
"The state's economy and budget are front and center for lawmakers but we also expect them to address property casualty insurance issues such as affiliate transfers, consumer protection regulation, workers compensation and uninsured motorists coverage as they start the second year of the two-year session," said Richard Stokes, Counsel, state government affairs for PCI.
One of the bills on the legislative agenda for 2010 is HB 140, which provides that an automobile insurance policyholder transferred between authorized insurers within the same insurance group is not considered a cancellation or nonrenewal if the premium is not increased and coverage is not reduced. According to the legislation, the policyholder must be notified of the transfer in writing. This legislation is supported by PCI and similar bills have passed in other states. The House unanimously passed HB 140 on May 12, 2009 but it failed to pass the Senate before the General Assembly recessed in July.
PCI and the business community are working together to oppose HB 247, legislation that would expand the authority and administrative powers of the Consumer Protection Unit of the state's Department of Justice to include regulation of the property casualty insurance industry.
"While lawmakers did not advance this legislation, which was introduced just before lawmakers recessed for the summer, we expect it to be an issue in 2010," said Stokes. "This legislation unnecessarily sweeps insurance regulation into the Department of Justice. We oppose the legislation because the property casualty insurance industry is already regulated by the Department of Insurance which has its own consumer services division. Particularly during a time of tight budgets, the state can't afford to have agencies perform duplicate functions."
PCI is also opposing a bill (HB 255) introduced shortly before the legislative recess that would allow a party in a motor vehicle collision to access their own underinsured motorists insurance benefits in circumstances where the damages are greater than the amount of the negligent driver's insurance policy limits.
"The trial bar is seeking to once again expand coverage beyond what is allowed by the insurance contract," said Stokes. "This bill seeks to change the current case law that prohibits a plaintiff from collecting from his or her underinsured motorists coverage when the other party has the same limits of liability coverage. The intent of underinsurance coverage is to make up the difference if the other party's carries less insurance than you have purchased. It is only designed to make up the difference up to limits of your policy."
Auto safety issues such as the prohibition on texting while driving or red light camera violations are expected to be considered this year.
On regulatory matters, PCI is an active member of the insurance department's working group on accident response fees which are sometimes called "accident taxes." Over the past two years nine states have banned local governments from charging fees when police or fire department personnel respond to a traffic accident. "As a taxpaying citizen, it is not unreasonable to expect local police and fire departments to respond to an automobile accident without having to pay extra for this service," said Stokes.

It's never too late to start over. Regrets are for pussies. No matter what lies ahead, it's never too late for you to make up for what you've done in the past. Never too late, unless you're brain-dead, living off the life-support machine. Then it IS too late. You can start regretting anything that comes to mind at that time. Not that you have control of your mind at that time. You're on your own, nigga *flies away*.
Well, jauh nyimpang dah ni.
Aight, let's start with a story.
'twas 27th May. The date of which Danny's been waiting for the whole month. The Pay Day. He called up Larry, his best buddy inviting him for a drink at a stall nearby.
"Wei minum, aku payung kau"
Larry, being a cheap mothafucka, had no objection at all. All he thought at that time was, what should he ordered.
The usual Larry would never be on time for anything. Meetings, datelines, reports were never completed on time. Semayang jangan cakap la. But this time it's different. He was way ahead of Danny, the clockwork. He arrived exactly 13 minutes earlier than the agreed time. So he sat at one of the empty table.
He waited anxiously, his thoughts completely in a tornado state, because he was starving.
Danny arrived 20 minutes after. He got caught in a traffic jam. A car rammed the lorry in front of it. At least that was what Danny saw.
He shook Larry's hand. Then he sat on the chair opposite of Larry's.
The waiter came, and took a shitload of orders. They were all Larry's.
Danny started the conversation by asking Larry's current predicament. They both exchange stories about what's really happening in their lives. Nothing serious in particular. The topics were boring. In fact, the topics should be considered as useless junks you keep getting in your email inbox. They served only two purpose, keeping you occupied and filling up the space.
But the night is young. Danny pulled out a box of ciggarette from his left pocket. He took one cig, and light it up.
Gettin Really Tired of Your Shit, Danny

Confession of A Grammar Nazi
Posted by Anonymous II at 17:40
"Grandpa, why is your left eye blind?" Danny asked.
"Oh my dear, this here is the proof that I survived the war. That time, I was busy tending to my injured comrades. Then, came this Nazi guy from my behind. He had his bayonet aimed at my face. I turned around, and just saw a glimpse of him stabbing my face" he replied.
"Whoa, what happened then?" Danny seemed really interested in the story.
"I was hurting all over. I could feel blood flowing all over my face. He tried to stab me one more time to finish me off. Phew, with luck, he was shot by my friend whom had just arrived. But I did hear he said something before he was shot" said Grandpa with a dead serious face.
"What did he say?" he asked innocently.
"I bet you did Nazi this coming, eh"
Grandpa laughed hysterically.
Y'know, my family was never the kind of family where English was practiced. Hell, English was such a foreign language there, the first English word I said out loud was 'Wash' and I didn't even pronounced it correctly at that time.
I said, "Ayah, ni baju adik nak basuh ni kena pusing dekat W-E-S-H ke?"
My whole family laughed and the incident will never be forgotten every time there's a family reunion.
I was so bad at English, all I remembered from my childhood memories was that I was being laughed at.
Tapi tu dulu.
Maybe all those insults and perli got in deep within me. I swore that I would never make mistakes. Being so intense in redeeming myself, I got into this obsessive-compulsive disorder, where I couldn't tolerate any mistake done by myself or anyone else.
I remember this one time; I saw a banner saying "UNDILAJ BARISAN NASIONAL"
I was so enraged and was like,
Time went by, and my OCD cooled down, but I still couldn't tolerate few things.
Aha. I've got a list here. Here it goes.
1. Misconception of 'literally' and 'figuratively'
a. Dude, seriously. I literally got my ass kicked.
b. I figuratively got my ass kicked. See? No? Well just omit 'em.
2. Usage of 'to' and 'too'
a. This is to much, sayang.
b. I'm headed too KL Sentral.
3. Usage of 'I'm' and 'I'
a. I'm love you.
b. I missing you.
4. Usage of 'affect' and 'effect'
a. Tell me how this one setback will effect our company.
b. Tell him that that setback was just the side affect of what will come next.
C'mon people, I'm not saying that I'm perfect. I'm just stating the fact that people won't take you seriously if yu kenot speel korekly. I don't see any problem if you wanna write in any language you want, but it seems to me that you might need to reconsider your words if they are used for official matters.
Well, I gotta tell you this. The key to a good English essay is not lavish vocabulary you have in there, son. It is simplicity. You gotta keep it simple.
p/s : I can count to potato.

Sexist #15 - Nice Guys Listen Up
You hear it all the time
"He was such a NICE guy, and she's such a heartless bitch for dumping him."
I hear all kinds of fuckery from self-professed Nice Guys, *heck, even from me back then* complaining that women must WANT to be treated like shit, because THEY, the Nice Guy, have failed repeatedly in relationships. This is similar to the false logic that
"Whales are mammals. Whales live in the sea. Therefore, all mammals live in the sea."
If you have one bad relationship after another, the only common denominator is you. Fucking think carefully about it, will ya?
So, what's wrong with Nice Guys? The biggest problem is that most of them fuckers are hideously insecure. They are so anxious to be liked and loved that they do things for other people to gain acceptance and yes I know this is really sad to hear - to gain attention. Yes, they are really into all of that craps rather than for the simply pleasure of giving. You never know if a Nice Guy really likes you for who you are, or if he suddenly gets into you out of desperation because you actually paid some kind of attention to him.
Nice Guys have massive insecurities upon themselves - a big red carpet for the predators of the world. There are women out there who are "users" - just looking for a sucker to take advantage of. "Users" never take Nice Guys seriously. They stroke their egos, take them for a ride, add a notch to their belts, and move on, as long as they take the benefit out of that sucker. It's no wonder so many Nice Guys complain about women being so horrible, when the so-often kind of women that gets attracted to them is the lowest form of life.
Self confident, caring, decent-hearted women find Nice Guys to be too clingy, self-abasing, and insecure.
Nice Guys go extreme and obsessive. They bring roses to a Let's-Get-Together-For-A-Coffee date. They try to buy her affections with presents and fancy things. They think they know about romance, but their timing is all wrong, and they either come on too strong, too had, or too fast. OR, they are so shy and having the lack of confidence, that they hang around pretending to be "friends", in the hope that somehow, someday, they will get the courage up to ask her out for a date.
They are so desperate to please that they put aside their own needs, and place of their desire on a support. Instead of appreciating her, they worship her. We are only human, and depending on a support from a women is narrow, confining places to be - not to mention the fact that we tend to fall off of them.
They cling to her, and want to be the "ONE" with her for fear that she is out of sight, she may disappear or become attracted to someone else. A Nice Guy often has trouble with emotional intimacy. Because he believes that if she learns about the REAL person inside, she will no longer love him.
Nice Guys are always asking HER to make the decisions. They think it's being equal, but it puts an unfair responsibility on her, and gives him the opportunity to blame her if the decision was an unwise one.
Nice Guys rarely speak up when something bothers them, and rarely state clearly what it is they want, need, and expect. They fear any kind of conflict might spell the end of the relationship. Instead of compromising and negotiating, they repeatedly "give in". When she doesn't appreciate their sacrifice, they will complain that
"Everything I did, I did it for her." *And yes, I used to complain a LOT about this one. Fuck me.*
As if this somehow honours them to the status of "pejuang". A woman doesn't want a "pejuang". She wants an equal, caring, adult partner.
Nice Guys think that they will never meet anyone as special as she is. They use their adoration as a foundation for claiming that
"No one will ever love her as much as I do."
Instead of being a profound statement of their devotion, this is a subtle, but nasty insult. It is similar to saying to her that
"You are a difficult person, and only I can ever truly love you, so be thankful I'm here, you fucking whore."
The Nice Guy need to believe that he is the best person for the object of his desires, because otherwise his insecurities will overrun him with jealousy and fear. The truth of the matter is that there are many people out there who can be a good match for her. We rarely stop loving people we truly care about. Even if we no longer continue the relationship, the feelings will continue.
But love isn't mutually exclusive. We can, and do, love many people in our lives, and romance is really no different. Though he may love her immensely, there will likely be other people who have loved her just as much in her past, and will love her just as much in the future. The irony of it all is
"Who would want to go out with someone who was unlovable anyways?"
And then, more than loving the women in his life, a Nice Guy NEEDS her.
"She is my life, my only source of happiness..."
"I need you, Atin. I could never live without you." <-- Hoyeah, this is me, 18 months ago.
YECH! What kind of a burden is that to place on her? That SHE has to be responsible for YOUR happiness? Get a grip and stop being such a pussy, you fucking douche bag.
Another mistake Nice Guys make is to go after "hard luck" cases. They deliberately pick women with problems, depressions, and personality disorders, because Nice Guys are "helpers". A Nice Guy think that by "helping" this woman, it will make him a better, more lovable person. He thinks it will give him a sense of accomplishment, and that she will appreciate and love him more, for all his efforts and sacrifice.
Aaaaaannnd yes, he is usually disappointed by the results. Because it doesn't work that way. You "help" a women today, tomorrow, another Nice Guy "help" her to get her out from your life. And the circle continues.
This ultimately boils down to the fact that Nice Guys don't like/hate themselves. In order to truly love someone else, you have to learn to love yourself first. Too often Nice Guys' mistake obsession for "love".
Get this, Nice Guys :
You don't have to be an ego-inflated, arrogant jerk. Just be a normal "asshole", in a way that normal "bitches" would actually be attracted to. You just have to appreciate yourself even more. You have to know what you want out of life, and go after it. Only then will you be attractive to the kind of women with whom a long term relationship is possible.
TL;DR huh?
Stop being such a clingy fag. Be yourself, care for her, but don't lay it on too thick [unless you're in the bedroom having sex] or she'll leave you for me.
P/s : Be a nice guy later. Right now you have to be an asshole to score chicks.

Sexist #14 - Sexual Fantasies
'Sup guys, I'm just chilling in a jacuzzi.
A sexual fantasy, also called an erotic fantasy, is a fantasy or pattern of thoughts with the effect of creating and enhancing sexual feelings.
Now everybody who's normal would normally have had their own sexual fantasies before. Yeah, guys, no matter how of a moralfag or how religious the person is, it's completely in our nature as human beings to have fantasies where we have sex with another person of the opposite sex, or even fantasies fucking with a dog, or an octopus.
But lemme get to the point of the difference between guys and girls.
Like me, I like to talk about sex a lot in this blog. But that doesn't mean I'm always having this conversation with people in the real world. I have my own fantasy as a guy, and I do watch porn for once in a while.
You see, guys, for men, I dunno if you watch porn or not, but to be realistic, nowadays, it is considered normal to watch porn for guys. Unless, he's too ashamed to admit he watches them, or he lies about it. But I'd like to assume that all guys get horny at certain times. And as a solution for not being able to have sex at the moment, we watch porn and masturbate to it.
As simple as that. I'm not trying to sound gay or anything here, but hey, this happens, okay. I'm talking about the real world here. At least it's better than fucking some one else and having them pregnant and not being responsible for it.
But as for a women, it is considered weird to have the need to watch porn whenever they get horny. In fact, I also don't know whether you girls actually watch porn or not.
Geez, SERIOUSLY GIRLS, DON'T YOU WATCH PORN? Ke you all rahsia-rahsia? Shit, I've been thinking about that since I was 15. But they do have porn for women, yenno.
I don't quite understand of how women think when they get horny and all, but all I can say is, women tend to get emotionally attached to everything, even to things like this.
All they wish to have is having a calm environment where they'd like to spend it with their lovers, and that being said, it's all about being gooey and romantic.
If guys are able to have a hard on to watching porn, girls are able to get themselves "wet" just by reading.... A romantic novel. Yes, especially at those scenes where it all get super sensual and it's like the romance element that's in the air is equivalent to how much fluid would they wet their panties.
Because it stimulates their mind of having sexual fantasies and enjoying every moment of it as if they were actually being the character itself in the novel with their respective lovers.
I know some of you ladies will deny this shit. But I have references, okay. Yeah, you gave me the idea to write this trash. I know you're reading my piece of crap.
Now us guys don't get it. Why the fuck would you ladies enjoy reading craps like that just to get horny? There's so much effort to do and it's so troublesome. I mean, when I get horny, I just click and click and click my mouse and at some point, I don't click my mouse anymore, because my hand's busy with something else. You know what I mean.
I guess, maybe women enjoy the continuous romance, while guys only wanna cum. LOL But that doesn't make us guys animals, okay. Everyone have emotions.
And by me saying all of this crap everyone knows about, that doesn't mean that everyone of us guys want you girls to join us watch porn and stuff.
We don't want girls who enjoy being a slut like all the time.
We also don't want girls who are too naive and being all "THIS IS WRONGGGG!" and shits.
And I know, you ladies would certainly go for
"It's just.. I don't wanna be perceived as a bimbo. :("
No, I don't want you to be a bimbo, either. You have to be both. You have to be two people at the same time. The saint, and the sinner. The librarian.... And the stripper.
On one hand, you have to push the guy away with the cold and being all cool and in denial. On the other hand, you have to be a sexually teasing tornado.
With that being said, I have no other things to say to you ladies. If you think yourselves being too innocent, try slutting up a bit. Or if the element of a whore is already inside you, try pushing it down and get those images of a nice, sweet girl in yourself so that the guys would not only be crazy about you, but they could also be like enjoying their time with you. Not in a sexually way only, but also in a normal human relationship way between a boy and a girl.
Who knows, when you got married, you could try this shit out. It's in every guys dream to the idea of having their own personal sex slave, not in a cruel way, but just for being fun once in a while, so why not try act like one? Nanti-nanti la, takyah la sekarang.
It's all about keeping it steady. Remember, the key is 50% slut and 50% naive.
Sigh, I'd love to talk about sex all the time, aren't I?
Okay, okay, I'm stopping.
P/s : Hoyeah, I most certainly am not gonna get a girlfriend with this blog. You're right. =))))

All of this cutesy miniature food jewelry I've been seeing lately has me kind of torn. I think some of it is just cloyingly cutesy, and should remain on the under 7 set rather than on adult women. But….some of it is also just really too adorable to resist, and part of me thinks, hey, if I can't put gluten-containing foods in my body, I can still put them on my body!
Here's a few items I've found lately:
Pepperoni pizza earrings from Etsy seller Inedible Jewelry
Coffee and donuts necklace from Etsy seller Kawalidesune
Also from this same seller: s'mores earrings
Of course, if you're not the jewelry type, that doesn't mean there aren't options for you.
I kind of love this zombie toast T-shirt from Threadless.
What about these Silly Yak shirts? Personally I feel no need to wear my celiac status on my sleeve – literally — and would never, ever wear one of these.

Other Useful Contacts
London Regional Contacts
Other than Swim England and its' subsidiary organisations, London Swimming works with a wide range of stakeholders and organisations involved in aquatics across the capital and we therefore have partners we work with that you may want to find out more about, or get in touch with. Please therefore see below some of our key partners in the region;
ASA County Associations –
Secretary – Gillian Neal
Secretary – Francisco Javier Diaz
Secretary – Shelley Robinson
Secretary – Mr H Watkinson
London Sport
London Sport is the County Sports Partnership for London (which as you can imagine, works slightly differently than other Counties outside of London, as we now just have one organisation that covers all London boroughs). Their work includes supporting national governing bodies such as the ASA, schools, leisure centres, local authorities, coaches, clubs and anyone else that contributes to the complex sporting landscape within the capital, and who all influence Londoners to become more active.
Their support can be through facilitating meetings and contacts, expert guidance on particular topics and they do also have some funding streams which they manage on Sport England's behalf. Their website has a wealth of information but as they are still a relatively newly formed organisation, if there is anything you can't find then if you contact them I'm sure they'll be able to help or point you in the right direction.
Sports coach UK
They are are UK's technical agency for coaching, established as a charity more than 30 years ago to promote for the public benefit the education of sports coaches, youth and community sports leaders, physical education teachers and other people engaged in the teaching and encouragement of sporting skills. One workshop in particular to highlight is the 'Safeguarding & Protecting Children' course which is the ASA approved course to complete if you are in regular contact with children through your aquatics club, or if you are taking on the role of Welfare Officer. These courses can be found here.
Sport England
Previously known as the English Sports Council, Sport England is the funding agency for grassroots sport in the country. Their aim, similarly to London Sport, is to increase participation in sport and physical activity – no matter what their background, ability or age, in order to encourage people and communities to create a sporting habit for life. In May of this year they released a new strategy in answer to the government's new 'Sporting Future' strategy released in December 15. Again, similar to London Sport, they have done a lot of research and collected data in order to provide insight into sports participation in this country (which you can access) and they also have numerous funding pots on offer. They are also responsible for campaigns such as 'This Girl Can', which you may be aware of, and for the Club Matters programme available to support sports clubs through useful resources and one-to-one support through industry experts.

This firm provides IKNOW, Interactive Knowledge for Nonprofits Worldwide, a free source of information on the web, expressly designed to give the nonprofit community information it can use. Unlike using a major search engine, the careful selection and organization of content on IKNOW is designed to save time usually spent weeding through tens and hundreds of pages that are not exactly what you were looking for. The editors of IKNOW seek out, identify, and organize only the best available information of concern to the nonprofit community into a dozen major categories: business services, education, fringe benefits, fundraising, governance, human resources, legal issues, legislation, marketing and media, strategic planning and volunteerism. The site has recently added a new category of information on state requirements for charitable solicitations. [Also listed under Nonprofit Library.]

Letters to the Editor
Editorial cant justify Quinn
To The Editor:
Re Christine Quinn for City Council in Third District (editorial, Sept. 2):
Your endorsement of Christine Quinn for a third (effectively stolen) term works so hard to communicate balance and yet fails so miserably.
Though I am proudly lesbian, I grow tired of this notion that Quinns hold on office is a referendum on our futures. We will not be fully free until we are able to throw out the gay and lesbian bums just as readily as we are the ones who dont look or think like us.
Quinn has supported a Police Department-promulgated law to prohibit public assemblies of 50 people or more, though the right to free assembly is a cornerstone of our constitutional democracy, and despite the fact that there is a strong tradition of group assembly as a means to progress in the gay and lesbian community.
Beyond gay and lesbian issues, Christine Quinn has failed me, too. She has consistently championed oversized developments that do not ensure the vitality of city life. And yes, Quinn did address this at The Villagers Council District 3 debate, but with the development bubble over, her concern is closing the barn door long after the horse has run free.
While I can applaud your comments on the Department of Sanitation garage and salt shed slated for Spring St., you failed to acknowledge how little Quinn has done to put this project on a proper track. Irrespective of the undeniable fact that she could stop this half-billion dollar, oversized and environmentally abusive plan from going forward, she has not done so. Instead, she has pitted community board against community board, and hidden behind a settlement between the city and the Friends of Hudson River Park regarding Gansevoort Peninsula.
The two-district Hudson Rise alternative proposal, the only impediment to which is a place to site the third district, would be a positive legacy for Quinn. Instead, she has opted to surrender (again) to Mr. Bloomberg, just as she did on term limits.
Ultimately, all that communities really have is the advocacy of their City Council representative, a process that has been abandoned by Quinn and generally explained away as result of the pressures of her role as speaker. But we District 3 residents didnt elect her as speaker; we elected her (and yes, I did vote for her the last time around) to be our representative to the City Council.
In that role, she has failed. She is unavailable and haughty; Quinns staff actually threatened to cancel a meeting on the Sanitation facility on Sept. 2 if I attended because I have been outspoken in my criticism.
This election confronts us with the opportunity to eliminate the further harm that Christine Quinn will do with an undeserved third term and, we can hope, reinvigorate the City Council to serve in its power-balancing role against a mayor who is willing to spend any amount of money to buy support or, at minimum, silence.
There is no doubt that Christine Quinn is the best politician in the race. But she is also all that is wrong with politics: Yet to find a principle she is unwilling to abandon, though righteous and confirmed in her right to lead.

Speaker, mayor and the police
To The Editor:
Re Christine Quinn for City Council in Third District (editorial, Sept. 2):
Your endorsement of Christine Quinn cites the many things she has done for the constituents in her district. It fails, however, to look at her larger role as Council speaker, where instead of serving as a foil to billionaire Mayor Bloomingdales designs that have transformed our city into a shopping mall for condo owners, she has been a rabid cheerleader of this development for developers: The uncontested sale of Stuyvesant Town to Speyer, the unforgivable Soho Trump Hotel that has forever marred Downtowns low-rise skyline, the taxpayer-financed Yankee Stadium and the recent Coney Island zoning changes that will transform this piece of authentic New York into a Nike/Disney store are just four obvious examples.
Perhaps even more egregious is Speaker Quinns blessing of the New York Police Departments unconstitutional stop and frisk policy that criminalizes a half a million black and Hispanic men every year for simply being black and Hispanic. This and her deafening silence on the N.Y.P.D.s draconian persecution of Critical Mass bikers, as well as Republican Convention protesters swept up in Peoples Republic of China-style mass arrests, should give all voters serious second thoughts about re-electing her for yet another term.

Chris always came through
To The Editor:
Re Christine Quinn for City Council in Third District (editorial, Sept. 2):
As we approach next weeks primary election, its easy to focus on just one specific neighborhood issue, like a new building going up on your block or construction on a local school. In doing so we ignore the many issues that affect the entire city, but have a huge impact on life in our community.
Thats why I agree so strongly with The Villagers assessment that Christine Quinn is the best candidate for City Council in District 3. In the last four years alone, Speaker Quinn has expanded the number of full-day pre-kindergarten seats and worked to improve test scores at struggling middle schools. She increased safety regulations to keep bars and clubs from bringing noise and violence into our neighborhoods. Chris stood up against hate crimes, and is fighting in Albany to bring marriage equality to New York State. Shes improved environmental standards and brought healthier foods into our schools and onto our streets. Shes helped reform campaign finance, and kept lobbyists from having too much influence over government. Shes balanced our budget without sacrificing safe streets and good schools. And shes been working to create new jobs and help New Yorkers who are unemployed.
When it comes to the issues that are important to District 3, and to New York City, Christine Quinn has always delivered. I hope that on Tuesday, our neighbors keep that in mind and join you in supporting her for re-election.

Its time to dump Quinn
To The Editor:
Re Christine Quinn for City Council in Third District (editorial, Sept. 2):
I am disappointed that The Villager supports Quinn in spite of its acknowledgement that she has failed her constituents concerning the Spring St. Sanitation garage. The Villager credits Quinn on tenant issues and parks, but her stance or lack of one! regarding the Spring St. garage indicates that she has, in fact, abandoned her district on those issues as well.
The Spring St. garage would be located across the street from residential buildings, and the mammoth garage (more than 110 feet high before mechanicals) would effectively set up a barrier between the neighborhood and the Hudson River Park.
Furthermore, her lack of action on the Spring St. garage is indicative of her environmental neglect. Quinn agreed to placement of a 5,000-ton salt shed at Spring St. in addition to a three-district garage. Salt dispersed from the shed will be corrosive to buildings, damage nearby parks and, most important, create a health hazard to families and their pets. The 500-plus daily trips to and from the garage would add to the already-high levels of traffic in the area and further deteriorate the air quality.
Quinns lack of support for the communitys alternative, Hudson Rise, reflects her ethical failure and fiscal imprudence. Hudson Rise would mitigate some of the traffic and air concerns by reducing the garage size and adding a rooftop park, and it would cost less than the citys proposal.
Its time we had a representative who represented us. I say, Dump Quinn.

Quinn fights for tenants
To The Editor:
Re Christine Quinn for City Council in Third District (editorial, Sept. 2):
I was glad to see The Villager endorse Speaker Christine Quinn for re-election to the City Council this year. As you noted, she has been a tremendous leader in the fight for tenant protections, passing important legislation like the Tenant Protection Act and the Safe Housing Act. But it isnt just about legal protections. In the last 10 years, Quinn has been a leader in the fight to protect affordable housing in the Village.
As a resident of Westbeth, I saw firsthand just how critical it is to have someone fighting to keep our homes affordable. Had we lost our tax abatement, many Westbeth artists would have been priced out of our community. Christine Quinn stood with us every step of the way to make sure this didnt happen. Just a few months ago, she led the effort to renew our tax abatement and keep our rents affordable for another 40 years.
When The Related Companies proposed a 15-story glass tower for the Superior Ink site, Christine Quinn helped us fight the proposal and forged a compromise that led to a much more acceptable building.
As apartments have gotten more and more expensive all over Manhattan, its absolutely critical that we have leaders who know how to keep our neighborhoods affordable. Speaker Quinn has proven she can do just that, and shes exactly the person we need to keep up that fight for the next four years.
I often say to friends who disagree with Christine on an issue or two, If we had to have 100 percent agreement on everything, wed all be single. As you said in your endorsement, Quinn is the complete package; she has the experience, the skills and the commitment that the district needs. I, and many of my neighbors, couldnt agree with you more.

Doing Bloombergs bidding
To The Editor:
Re Christine Quinn for City Council in Third District (editorial, Sept. 2):
I am shocked by The Villagers endorsement. Simply put, Quinn serves Mayor Bloomberg and has abandoned her community. I personally sat in a meeting with her regarding the Sanitation garage and I said, If you stand up to the mayor, you will be a hero to the community. She replied, Im not interested in being a hero. She then went ahead and voted for the garage.
Arent our representatives supposed to support our best interests? The reason she didnt is because every insider knows Bloomberg wants the garage. Thats ridiculous and not someone who should be elected as a representative of a community. How can you endorse a candidate that is Bloombergs lackey?

Re Balazs whips bondage bash (Scoopys Notebook, Sept. 2):
I commented last year about the Leather Fest being moved to a more obscure location, W. 13th St., and nobody else had anything to say about it. Now, the leather community is being forced someplace else again, perhaps even more obscure?
Apparently it is O.K. to have pride in who you are, and be accepted as who you are, as long as you are one of the pretty people. Leather folk and bears dont fit that mold, so we are relegated to the back alleys and out of sight.
How many more years until they just give us a small island out in the Hudson River where we will never be seen or heard from again?
Richard Hunt
Leather forever!
To The Editor:
Re Balazs whips bondage bash (Scoopys Notebook, Sept. 2):
Our community is under attack again. We are being punished by a money-hungry community that wants us to be invisible. Yes, I have fond memories of every Sunday afternoon when daddies and their boys were seen up and down Christopher St. We had friendly bars, clubs, shops and neighbors. Pride is more then one or two days a year. It is a community of loving, caring people who demand respect. We are being made into pariahs.
In leather and pride.

Re Maybe its nuts, but they call her The Squirrel Whisperer (news article, Aug. 26):
I loved the Squirrel Whisperer story, but there was no mention of how incredibly intelligent these little guys are. Some years back, I trained a family of three or four to come right up to my rear window and take an unshelled peanut from my fingers. It got so that when I raised the window, they recognized the sound and would come from all around, including the roof of a nearby building, to have a bite. Other times, out of the blue, one of them would come to the closed window and stand on the sill at full height, peering in to see if I was around. They dont live much longer than three years, Im told, and Im not patient enough to train the new crop.
Same thing in Madison Square Park, where the squirrels are well acquainted with the habit of humans feeding them. If I made a clucking noise, theyd hop across the lawn from great distances, climb the wire fence and perch on top to take the unshelled peanut from my fingers. But Im not clear on city policy about feeding them. On at least one occasion, a park official told me I was breaking the law. And I saw signs there and in other parks that say dont feed the squirrels. Why would this be?

Squashes squirrel jab
To The Editor:
Re Maybe its nuts, but they call her The Squirrel Whisperer (news article, Aug. 26):
Just to clarify a few incorrect statements made in this article:
First, the squirrels in Union Square Park are not starving. I sell my artwork in Union Square and every time I go out to sell, I bring nuts and water with me and have regular customers coming back and forth all day. I lay the nuts out on one of my bins and provide a nut buffet for them.
Second, having just confessed to bringing nuts to the park for the squirrels, it is illegal to feed them. There are big, green signs posted throughout the park stating this. Squirrels are considered wildlife and wildlife must not be fed, according to the law. Technically, Im not feeding them theyre stealing from me.

Providence the next Poe?
To The Editor:
Provincetown drama encore as theaters wall partly removed (news article, Aug. 19), by Al Amateau on demolition of part of the Playhouse north wall, misses some key points for people in the community who have lived through N.Y.U.s past performances. Without getting into Alicia Hurleys comments My office should have known about it and takes full responsibility for the communications gap and Borough President Stringers comments about failure to consult the community regarding N.Y.U. embarking on a new path of transparency and dialogue with neighbors, the missing link is that the community has been conditioned by N.Y.U. over some two generations, or more than 40 years, to place little credence in the universitys statements and more in its actions.
It was merely a few years ago that John Sexton after his series of town hall talks, in which he had spoken about the Villages fragile ecosystem sprung the monstrous, 26-story, 700-room, E. 12th St. dormitory on this very ecosystem. This was followed shortly by N.Y.U.s participation in Borough President Stringers Task Force on N.Y.U. Development as a signatory to the planning principles, one of whose major points stressed reuse before new development.
And so the very first project that N.Y.U. brought before the task force was demolition and redevelopment of the full Provincetown block front. It took some major effort, principally by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, to convince N.Y.U. to preserve the historic theater in footprint and volume with the theaters four walls and surviving artifacts after failing to get the university to commit to preservation. Absent from the initial discussion was N.Y.U. rising to a higher standard, as would befit an institution claiming world-class status, to preserve an American cultural icon instead of taking the easy way out through demolition rather than preservation.
We now are involved in what amounts to a sequence of errors and omissions on Provincetown regarding structural facts that were supposed to have been vetted back in 2008 when the project was presented to the task force, and a breakdown in communications within the N.Y.U. administration in explaining this problem to the public and why partial demolition is proceeding. For those who were present at the construction of the new Law School building that was to preserve the Poe House several years back, this seems like history repeating itself. Poe ended up as a brick facade and plaque appendage compared to the original promises N.Y.U. made on its proposed preservation. Again, absent was the call to a higher standard in preserving a legacy in American culture, as debatable as it may have been. Who else but a major world-class educational institution could heed this call?
This is why there is still great skepticism on the part of task force members, including myself, and the general public and explains why N.Y.U.s so-called transparency and harmonious relations with its neighbors are regarded as a myth. The only transparency, in fact, is that N.Y.U. has unveiled its space needs for 2031 and the 6 million square feet total, or 3.6 million square feet slated for the core campus area. It is this magnitude of space slated for the core that causes great anxiety to N.Y.U.s neighbors as the university expands its hegemony over the Village and its fast-disappearing fragile ecosystem.

No Tennessee in Greatness
To The Editor:
Re Last call for FringeNYC (arts article, Aug. 26):
I once served as Tennessee Williamss assistant. I met him a year after the Vancouver production of The Red Devil Battery Sign, and continued in that position for six months, through the staging of his last new play produced during his lifetime, A House not Meant To Stand at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago.
Since I now live in Stone Mountain, Ga, I have been unable to witness Mr. MacIvors play onstage, but some time ago, received a copy of the manuscript. I can say that whatever merits His Greatness has, they do not include insight into the nature, life or poetic core of Tennessee Williams in his later years or at any other time. I did not recognize Tennessee Williams in Mr. MacIvors play.
Additionally, the Young Man is not the type of young man Mr. Williams would have associated with at all I had considerable experience dealing with Mr. Williamss young men.
Whether The Assistant reflects my personal qualities or not, Ill leave to others to decide.
Although I cannot speak for them, the Williams scholars with whom I have been in contact and who have seen or read His Greatness are of the same opinion of Mr. MacIvors play.
My memoir of the six months I worked for Tennessee Williams will be released by Alyson Books in hardcover in April 2010. I do not mention this as commercial promotion its months too early to pre-order but to let your readers know that the record will be set straight.
By all means, enjoy Mr. MacIvors play as simply a piece of theater but please reserve judgment on the nature of Tennessee Williams. There must be a reason Mr. MacIvor takes great pains not to mention Tennessees name or the titles of his plays. I write this with all sincerity.

Nights spent enjoying cocktail classics such as the Mojito, Daiquiri, Espresso Martini and Cosmo are often followed by a pounding head and a morning dedicated to finding the best possible Bloody Mary.
However this summer, Prahran-based organic pressed elixir specialists, Greene Street Juice Co., has provided a healthier alternative, introducing a new range of cocktail and seasonal summer fruit inspired offerings that use only the highest quality organic ingredients and creative recipes that transform each classic into a nutrition dense cocktail of delicious goodness, sans alcohol.

The Cosmopolitan series is an alternative to the traditional celebratory beverage of choice and brings a modern take on eight cocktail classics, designed to nourish and inspire for celebrations and enjoyment throughout summer.
- KOMBUCHA MOJITO Kombucha, Cucumber, Mint, Lime and Stevia
- MANGO DAIQUIRI Coconut Water, Mango, Orange, Passionfruit and Camu Camu

It is our way of celebrating, Greene Street Juice Co. style. We have had such a lovely experience since opening our doors just over a year ago and we can't wait to celebrate with a "Cosmo" or two with our Greene Street Juice Co community."
Here at PP HQ we don't mind a cosmo or two- and we are all about lifestyle and balance right?! So if this seems like too much 'nice' and not enough 'naughty' why not use a GSJ cosmo as a healthier mixer alternative with your next poolside summer vodka???
The Greene Street Juice Co. Cosmopolitan series is now on shelves at Greene Street Juice Co.'s Prahran based store and will be available as a limited edition range for the Summer. (They are walking out the door so get your hands on one quick!)
