vadivelu is a special kind of comedian , in the sense that he can excel both in verbal and physical comedies with equal degree of comfort . in most films vadivelu has taken prefixes along with the names of his characters such as veecharuva veerasamy { rajakumaran } , kuppai thotti govinda samy { minor mappillai } , oomathurai p . c { gambeeram } kaipilla , { winner } telex pandian { ennamma kannu } , vibration vadivelu { baghavathi } , encounter ekaambaram { marudhamalai } , bullet paandi { koil } theepori thirumugam { english kaaran } naai sekar { thalai nagaram } and snake babu { aaryaa } . what makes his comedy scenes very powerful , is his vigorous voice modulation quite often in the line of madurai slang . he has hardly lost his space to any comedian , be it goundamani - sendhil or vivek , when it comes to a joint performance .
in films like pongalo pongal and manadhai thirudivittai , he proved to be a perfect foil to vivek , maintaining his competitive spirit in every scene . he would have bowed to goundamani like sendhil , only to take goundamani for a ride later . but it is only as independent comedian , he has risen to an enormous stature , ruling the audience to the roost . his success formula in this regard , has been effectively framed in a kind of team spirit with heroes like paarthiban , arjun , vijay , suriya and prasaanth . the verbal banter between parthiban and vadivelu or between arjun and vadivelu has been immensely captivating , sometimes taking the viewers , to the zenith of laughter . though vadivelu appeared in a few scenes with rajinikanth in muthu , it was in the film chandramugi he made highly hilarious scenes , in company with the superstar . most memorable laughter waves prevailed in chandramugi , as in other films like winner , giri , marudhamalai , otran , vetrikodi kattu , friends , thimiru , london , thalai nagaram , enga anna , yei , poekkiri and aadhavan , to mention a few .
he made his directorial debut through murai maman in 1995 and his second film is murai mapillai which was also the debut film of arun vijay . he directed big stars rajinikanth in arunachalam , kamal in anbe sivam . he has worked with karthik for 5 times , prashanth , arjun and sarathkumar 2 times . he directed ajith for only one time . he never directed vijay and surya . sundar . c started his acting career in 2006 in thalai nagaram after quitting direction . thalainagaram upon release only received lukewarm response but later turned out to be a surprise success at th box office . after a great debut in 2007 he released veerappu which also took a lukewarm opening . but after the highly positive word of mouth the film turned out to be a sleeper hit too . after getting recgonised well in 2008 he released sandai in which he worked under director shakti chidambaram . however this film took a huge opening and turned out to be a huge success at the box office . however his streak of succcessses went out when his aayudham seivom despite taking a good opening flopped badly at the box office . in 2009 his first release perumal turned out to be a disaster . but his next film thee turned out to be a flop after taking a huge opening . after that his aiyantham padai was a average grosser . in 2010 his first release guru sishyan turned out to be a flop despite a good opening . his following film vaadaa turned out to be a huge bomb too . his last release in 2010 which was nagaram was a flop despite receiving highly positive reviews for its good story , vadivelu ' s comedy and anuya ' s glamour avatar . he is currently shooting murattu kaalai .
in 2003 , he directed two films winner and anbe sivam . the former was successful and the comedy scenes from that film became hugely popular . however the latter despite being critically acclaimed , the film was under performed but became a cult classic . after directing rendu ( 2006 ) , sundar took a break from directing in order to concentrate on acting career . he made his acting debut as lead actor with thalainagaram ( 2006 ) which was well received . except thalainagaram , his other films as lead actor received negative reviews and performed poorly at box - office . he then made a comeback as a director with nagaram marupakkam ( 2010 ) .

in 1907 the government was assumed by the raja and the durbar , or council , whose vice president was a member of the indian civil service . subsequently , the administration was transferred to the raja , and the vice president of the durbar became its president . after an uprising of the kuki hill tribes in 1917 , a new system of government was adopted ; the region was divided into three subdivisions , each headed by an officer from the neighbouring government of assam .
with the accession of manipur to india in 1947 , the political agency exercised by assam was abolished . two years later manipur became a union territory governed by a chief commissioner and an elected territorial council . in 1969 the office of chief commissioner was replaced by that of lieutenant governor , whose status was changed to governor when manipur became a constituent state of the indian union on july 21 , 1972 .

. blueberry is an atypical western hero ; he is not a wandering lawman who brings evil - doers to justice , nor a handsome cowboy who
rides into town , saves the ranch , becomes the new sheriff and marries the schoolmarm .
in any situation , he sees what he thinks needs doing , and he does it .
the story follows michael steven donovan , nicknamed
blueberry
, a name he chose when fleeing from his southern enemies ( which was inspired when he looked at a blueberry bush ) , starting with his adventures as a lieutenant in the united states cavalry shortly after the american civil war . he is accompanied in many tales by his hard - drinking deputy , jimmy mcclure , and later also by red woolley , a rugged pioneer .
donovan is the son of a rich southern farmer and started as a dedicated racist . he was framed for a murder he did not commit , had to flee and was saved by an african - american . he became an enemy of discrimination of all kinds , fought against the confederates ( although he was a southerner himself ) , and tried to protect the rights of native americans .
. charlier refused at first , since he never felt much empathy for the genre . in 1963 the magazine sent charlier on a reporting assignment to
, california . he took the opportunity to discover the american west , returning to france with a strong urge to write a western . first he asked
initially titled
fort navajo
, the story grew into 46 pages over the following issues . in this series blueberry - whose physical appearance was inspired by french actor
- was only one of many protagonists . charlier came up with the name during his american trip :
when i was traveling throughout the west , i was accompanied by a fellow journalist who was just in love with blueberry jam , so much in love , in fact , that i had nicknamed him
blueberry
. when i began to create the new series , and everything started to fall into place , i decided to reuse my friend ' s nickname , because i liked it and thought it was funny . [ . . . ] i had no idea that he would prove so popular that he would eventually take over the entire series , and later we would be stuck with that silly name !
charlier and giraud continued to add to the legend of mike blueberry in pilote and other titles even into the 1990s . during that time the artistic style has varied greatly , much as with giraud ' s other works . in the same volume , sweeping landscapes will contrast sharply with hard - edged action scenes and the art matches the changing mood of the story quite well . like much of the western genre , blueberry touches on the constant conflict between violence and tranquility , nature and civilization , and the obligation of the strong to protect the weak .
after charlier ' s death , giraud wrote and drew five albums , from mister blueberry to dust , until his own death in 2012 .
) resulting into all kinds of formats and quality—from b / w , american comic book sized budget collections to full color european style albums with many extras . since 1993 no blueberry comics have been published in english . moebius painted new covers for the epic line of blueberry . actually this was the first time blueberry was published under giraud ' s
, the translator of the books wrote :
this is quite ironic because giraud first coined the ' moebius ' pseudonym precisely because he wanted to keep his two bodies of work separate . yet , the artist recognizes the fact that he has now become better known in this country under his '
two chapters in one book . chapter title : the ghost with the golden bullets
two chapters in one book . chapter title :
the half - a - million dollar man
divided into sequels : cheval noir # 46 - 50 . black and white , american current size comic book format .
in the case of some epic versions ( chihuahua pearl , ballad for a coffin , angel face , the ghost tribe , and the end of the trail ) , titan books has issued the identically same albums for the uk market , with a few months delay .
mojo press published a black and white , american comic book sized budget collection : the blueberry saga # 1 : the confederate gold in 1996 . it contains the following stories : chihuahua pearl ,
the half - a - million dollar man
, ballad for a coffin , the outlaw , angel face . it also contains a 14 page non blueberry comic .
some issues of graphitti design ' s series presenting moebius dealt with blueberry . moebius # 9 contains the the lost dutchman ' s mine and the ghost with the golden bullets , along with non - blueberry westerns ( king of the buffalo , jim cutlass : mississippi river ) .
since its inception , the series has slowly gained a large following in europe , and has been extensively translated into several languages including spanish , portuguese , italian , german , dutch , swedish , danish , norwegian , polish , finnish , serbo - croatian , hungarian and turkish . apart from europe , in india it has been translated in mizo by mahlua of cydit communications , aizawl , tamil by prakash publishers in their
muthu
comics , and also in indonesian .
a
prequel
series , la jeunesse de blueberry ( young blueberry ) , as well as the sequels marshal blueberry and mister blueberry have been published as well , with other artists and writers , most famously william vance .
a prequel dealing with blueberry ' s early years , during the american civil war —how the racist son of a wealthy plantation owner turned into a yankee bugler and all the adventures after that . the material for the first few albums were first seen in digest size super pocket pilote during the late sixties . later these were blown up , rearranged , colored , to fit the album format . some panels were omitted in the process . the 1990 english language edition of these stories , by catalan communications under their
comcat
line , give track of the changes and present the left out panels . only the first three stories were published in english , although the company planned to publish the missouri demons and terror over kansas , as can be seen on the back covers of the ones published . the three albums were also published in a single hardcover version .
in the lead role . however , many purists were appalled by this film .
in addition to the comic strips , blueberry and his fellow characters can be found on posters , clothing , and other items .

during the last century , apart from g . ramanathan , viswanathan ramamurthy and k . v , mahadevan there were more than half a dozen other music directors who competed for higher level positions and made in roads , as music makers of individual merit and popularity . each one’s music could be identified by a kind of trade mark that sweetened their compositions and helped them get firmly rooted to the ground . similarly , each one had the sum and substance of musical richness that retained their career undeterred . this article looks upon them with esteem and special recognition .
t . r papa who entered tamil film music almost at the time of g . ramanathan , was known by his music direction of films of sivaji ganesan such as anbu , raja rani , rangoon radha and kuravanji . the two mgr films for which he composed music were nallavan vaazhvaan and thaai magalukku kattia thaali . his two gemini ganesan movies were aasai and mallika . apart from malliga he was the music composer for a few other films of the citadel pictures house like vijayapuri veeran , iravum pagalum and kaadhal paduthum paadu . his music greatly helped the success of rambaiyin kaadhal in which k . a . thangavelu played the hero . songs like ‘samarasam ulaavum’ and ‘baghavaane mounam aeno’from sirkazhi govinda - rajan’s scintillating voice are life time melodies . the movie kumara raja which had the most popular song of j . b . chandrababu ‘onnume puriyala ulagathula’ owes its remembrance to the lovable music of t . r . papa . his other immortally popular songs are from nallavan vaazhvaan . similarly , songs like iravum varum pagalum varum , ullathin kadhavugal kangalada , { both sung by tms } ullathile uram venumada [ a . m . raja } and ‘iraivan enroru kavignan’ { sung by sp . balasubramanyam from aein } made his contribution memorable . t . r . papa continued to compose music for films of the nineteen seventies like teecharamma , aein , maru - piravi , vairam and avasara kalyaanam . a few other lasting tunes of t . r . papa are ‘aasai pongum’ { aasai } ' varuvein naan unadhu maaligaiyin vaasalukke’ { mallika } ’nee sollaavidil yaar solluvaar nilave’ { kuravanji } .
s . m . subbaiah naidu , the other early contemporary of g . ramanathan , started his musical career with the mgr films abimanyu , mohini raajakumaari and marmayogi . his later works for mgr films include films like malaikallan , nadodi mannan , thrudaathe , aasai mugam and thaayin madiyil . some of his most exciting songs from this list of films are ‘ethanai kaalam dhaan yematruvaar indha naattile’ ‘kannil vandhu minnal poel’ ‘thoongaadhethambi thoongaathe’’thirudaathe papa thirudathe’ and ‘ethanai periya manidhanukku ethanai siriya manmirukku’ three of his well known sivaji ganesan films were annaiyin aanai , maragatham and kalyaniyin kanavan , the songs ‘annaiyai poel oru dheivamillai’ ' vaazhvinile vaazhvinile ' became instant hits . some of his other films that need a special mention are velaikkaari , thigambara saamiyaar , thirumanam , nalla theerpu , konjum salangai , pandhayam , mannippu , naalum therindhavan , panakkaara pillai and aindhu latcham . the song‘nee enge en ninaivugal ange ‘ from mannippu will ever remain as one of his most powerful musical pieces . sms as he was briefly called in film circles is specially known for his singularly striking use of percussion instruments .
another noted music composer of this period was t . g . lingappa who was closer to b . r . pantulu and directed music for the latter’s earlier movies like kalyaanam panniyum brammachaari , thangamalai ragasiam , sabash meena and muradan muthu . his other sivaji ganesan films were , mudhal thedhi , naane raaja and bommai kalyaanam . two other films for which lingappa composed music were , s . , s . rajendran’s sangilithevan and gemini ganesan’s’ ellorum innaattu mannar . p . suseela’s ' amudhai pozhiyum nilave’ from thangamalai ragasiyam , ' kaanaa inbam kanindhadhenoe’ from sabash meena and ‘thingal urangidum nerathilum’ from sangilithevan are enough to perpetuate the memory of this great music composer .
ghantasala has found a special place in tamil cinema not only by his vocal contribution but also by his most soothing musical composition . he has enriched films like , devadas , paataala bhairavi , tenali raman , anaarkali , lila majnu , maayaa bazaar , engal veettu mahalakshmi and anbu sagodharargal by his beautiful musical capability . in his music one could experience a soul sustaining process of peace and happiness . it would be like listening to the songs of a mukesh or magendra kaboor or mannade of the hindi film music world . it is always a pleasure to listen to ghantasala’s music at bed time for a peaceful sleep without any onslaught of nightmarish dreams . same is the case with a . m . raja who composed music for a few tamil films like kalyana parisu , vidi velli , thein nilavu and adi perukku . eternal melodies are the extraordinary legacy of these two men . there were a few other telugu musicians like s . rajeswara rao { missiamma , madharkula manickam } t . chelapathi rao { amaradeepam , meenda sorgam and punar jenmam } and aadhi narayana rao { adutha veettupen and manalane mangaiyin bagyam } whose musical work in tamil cinema is limited but great .
r . sudharsanam the other famous face of tamil film music has to his credit ‘parasakthi’ the first film of sivaji ganesan followed by other wonderful films like rathakanneer , kuladheivam , sellapillai , thilagam , sagodhari , dheivapiravi , kalathur kannamma , annai , naanum oru penn , anbukkarangal and kaakkum karangal . songs like ‘nenju porukku dhillaiye’‘kutram purindhavan’ ‘ anbaale thediya en arivu selvam’ { all in the unique voice of c . s . jeyaraman } ' kangalin vaarthaikal ' { a . m . raja and p . suseela } ' annai enbaval needhaanaa ' { p . banumathi } ' kannaa karumai nira kannaa’ { p . suseela } ' kagidhathil kappal seidhu ' { tms } and ' allithandu kaalgaleduthu ' { tms and p . suseela } carry the charm of his distinct musical thrust .
among the late entrants , v . kumar became the chosen music director of k . balachander for many of his films and his prolific contribution of melodies supported by the use of limited musical instruments , added to the strength of k . b ' s quality - oriented films . films like naanal { kuyil koovi thuyil ezhuppa , by soolamangalam rajalakshmi } , velli vizha { kaadhoedudhaan naan peisuvein by l . r . eswari } edhir neechal { thaamarai kannangal by pb srinivas and p . suseela } nootrukku nooru { naan unnai vazhthi paadugirein by p . suseela } neerkumizhi { aadi adangum vaazhkai yada , by sirkazhi govindarajan } major chandrakanth { oru naal yaaroe , by p . suseela } and iru kodugal { punnagai mannan poovizhi kannan , by p . suseela and jamuna raani } will refresh nostalgic memories of many a worthy movie of k . balachander . i have mentioned only some movies here . besides kala kendra films , kumar has also worked for a few muktha pictures’ films like niraikudam and bommalaattam { nalla naaal paarkavoe , by tms and p . suseela } . his other films include panakkaara penn , veguli penn { the famous tms song engellaam valai osai keitkinradhoe } and thein sindhudhe vaanam . none of the songs of kumar would create a jarring note and the soothing combination of vocal and instrumental components of music has always been the trade mark of kumar .
if v . kumar remained the favourite of k . balachander , the duo shankar ganesh were the regular music composers for the dhandayudhabaani pictures of devar film circuit . films like magarasi , akka thangai , aattukkara alamelu , sorgam naragam , vellikizhamai viradham , ranga , thaai veedu , thaayillaamal naanillai , komadha en kulamadha and adhisiappiravigal for which the duo composed music were from the devar production house . . besides , they have the proud position of composing music for mgr films like idhaya veenai and naan yen pirandhein . for the avm banner they have worked for the film samsaaram adhu minsaaram . they have also been associated with the sujatha cine arts ' films like mangamma sabatham , vidhi , billa etc . their other popular movies are neeyaa , darling darling darling , kanni paruvathile and vandi chakkaram . if v . kumar tried to bring out the voice mould and efficacy of the singers sankar ganesh believed more in the instrumental wield over songs and their musical tuning . chandrabose , the other well - known music director of this period , had his merit and talent recognized by the avm banner by composing music for the two most successful rajinikanth films manithan and raja chinna roja , besides being the music director for rajini ' s earlier film mangudi minor . he has also composed music for two other avm films like sankar guru , and maanagarakkaaval . he carries the pride of making music for the national award winning film pudhiya paadhai and the sathyaraj entertainer anna nagar mudhal theru . what is very special about chandrabose music is his high level of lyrical clarity and optimum instrumental thrust . he has given us many hits like ' kaala kaala ' as well as the title song from manithan , ' super starru yarunnu ketta ' from raja sinna roja and ' medhuva meduvaa oru kaadhal paattu ' from anna nagar mudhal theru
besides these musicians , the violin maestro kunnakkudi vaidhiyanathan has also joined the wagon of music directors once a way by directing music for a . p . nagarajan’s films like thirumalai thenkumari , kaaraikkal ammaiyaar , raja raja cholan and mel naattu maru magal . similarly the devar films unit also had the privilege of availing the musical support of vaidhiyanathan for their films dheivam and thiruvarul . all these films either had a spiritual theme or a carnatic base . with his profound understanding of traditional music , vaidhyanathan could substantially enrich the musical component of the films mentioned above . like kunnakkudi vaidhyanathan , soolamangalam rajalakshmi the noted carnatic singer also composed music for films like karpooram , dharisanam , magizhampoo , manam oru kurangu , and jeevanaadi . the songs from karpooram and dharisanam deserve a special place for quality stuff music .
while all these music directors made tamil cinema reach higher positions in creativity and entertainment , some have been acknowledged more than the others or some have not been given their due recognition . the objective of this article is to reasonably record their service and respect them with a sense of gratitude and appreciation . = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 0 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
it is a known fact that quite a few tamil actors here and there take a fancy for directing films once a way . but very rarely did directors show much interest in acting at least till the middle of nineteen eighties . for quite long , without the facility of television channels , very little opportunity was there even to see the photos of highly esteemed directors like a . bhimsingh , a . c . thirulokchander ,
p . madhavan , k . s . gopala krishnan , k . balachander , balu mahendra , j . mahendran , p . neelakandan and s . p . muthu raman . it was a . p . nagarajan who first appeared as poet nakkeeran in his most popular film thiruvilaiyaadal and made an eternal mark by his clear and chaste delivery of tamil dialogues . then directors like k . vijayan began to appear at least in a single scene of their films . new age spokesman barathiraja too has acted in a couple of films . chitra lakshmanan who served as assitant director of barathiraja , became a regular actor playing character and comedy roles , of course , simultaneously directing films like kamal ' s soorasamhaaram and prabu ' s periya thambi . same is the case with director ramesh kanna who is now more known as a comedian than film director .
it was t . rajender who after giving his mega hit movie oruthalai raagam in the mid seventies , began to seriously try acting , first in character roles and then as hero in a few movies . tamil film viewers can never forget his sterling performance as the elder brother of heroines in films like thangaikkor geedham and . en thangai kalyani . as a hero he was impressive in mythili ennai kaadhali and samsaara sangeedham . his other popular movies were oru thaayin sabadham sonnaaldhaan kaadhalaa , kaadhal azhivadhillai and veerasaamy . what made t . rajender from the other film makers was his constantly valid sentimental themes and the emotionally intense depiction of scenes and characters in all his movies . quite often melodramatic outbursts would make his narration and acting very appealing to the viewers . his tamil specially known for its thrust on alliteration in framing dialogues placed him on a distinct pedestal as a film maker . his lyrics and music composition have never failed to create the intended emotional impact on the audience . t . rajender could be called a pioneer among directors turning to acting , without losing his grip in the manifold management of film making involving multifarious tasks like direction , acting , music composition , dialogues and lyrics writing , singing , dancing and fighting . he can be called the grand master of film making .
from the nineteen eighties onward , many film directors vigorously looked upon the tinsel world with a passion for acting . while some have been doing a successful round as character actors , a few of them have played hero roles with zeal and conviction , to the extent of casting indelible impressions on the mind of the audience , by creating an exclusive space for themselves on the big screen . sometamil film directors occupy distinguished positions in this regard .
k . bagyaraj and r . parthiban , who began to direct themselves as heroes created some box office hits . tamil film audience owe a lot to these two men of meritorious talent , for unfolding an awesome evolution of creativity in celluloid form . both these men are intelligent performers with ripeness of imagination and right understanding of reality and fiction . as actors , they have excellently brought out the intrinsic layers of ideas and emotions perfectly channelized in the right form , to win the audience mood . it is their sharpness of understanding the right themes and story lines of appealing under - currents , that enabled them to create waves among the movie goers , and project them as the right type of film makers and actors . the audience earnestly loved to watch the pranks and mischievous deliberations of bagyaraj and parthiban whose focus on dialogues was not only inventive but also thought provoking . both have consistently reflected their avowed preference for the humour track for a valued journey of thoughts and emotions towards an enlightening destination . while bagyaraj has attracted everyone by his innate geniality , parthiban has become closer by his sharpness and witticism . the best of bagyaraj are films like mouna geedhangal , andha ezhu naatkal , darling darling darling and mudhaanai mudichu . parthiban has to his credit films such as pudhiya paadhai , housefull , barathi kannamma and kaakkai chraginile . despite this restrictive listing one could very well say that as actors , both of them have never failed to entertain the audience by their common sense and commendable wit . a long list of their films would vindicate this observation .

aides to mayor bill de blasio on monday acknowledged what new york city’s political class has suspected : the mayor could use a vacation .
when i go up to work , fred doesn’t even call me kyle , he just calls me mr . mayor . when we’re in the make - up chair , he goes “mr . mayor ! ” to fred , i’m just mr . mayor .
mayor bill de blasio and his family in 2014 with the mayor of grassano , italy ( left of mr . de blasio ) . this year the de blasios have planned a low - key summer vacation .
that always strikes me whenever i look up the show on imbd , you’re not mayor so - and - so or even “the mayor , ” you are just “mayor . ”
mr . de blasio rescheduled his flight to meet with community leaders , and he spent some of his italian vacation responding to questions about the aftermath of mr . garner’s death .

a spokesman for mr . nagin , terry davis , said the mayor had questioned the methodology of the poll . but two days after the interview with mr . davis , a poll from tulane university reported similar numbers .
mr . de blasio is expected to personally cover the costs of his trip , and he has no plans to hold events related to the national liberal coalition he founded this year , aides said . as has long been the case for mayoral vacations , the city will pay expenses for the mayor’s security detail .
stu loeser , a spokesman for the mayor , said such legislation was unnecessary because mr . bloomberg never fully ceded his authority , making it unimportant to disclose who was where .
the backdrop for the night’s content was a new home decorated for modernism week by mr . berk and built in the style of joseph eichler by kud properties , which is owned by troy kudlac , a bow - tied broker and developer who is in favor of less regulation for vacation rentals .
for a decade , mr . bloomberg has steadfastly rejected calls for transparency in his personal travels , arguing that in an age of instant communication , nobody needs to know his exact location . the mayor , he argues , is mayor whether he is in city hall , or singapore , or somewhere in between .

new orleans — as mayor c . ray nagin approaches his final year in office , he faces scandal , an acrimonious stalemate with the city council and the worst popularity ratings ever recorded for a mayor here .
“leadership and decision - making powers of the mayoralty , ” mr . loeser said , “remain with the person who was elected mayor .
anthony d . weiner in a scene from the documentary “weiner , ” which followed his 2013 run for mayor of new york city .
no aides were expected to travel with the de blasios this week ; his team said that the mayor would check in daily by telephone with his senior lieutenants . the city’s first deputy mayor , anthony shorris , will be in charge while he is away .
one of the mayor’s top aides , edward j . blakely , executive director for recovery management , said in an interview that , to some extent , mr . nagin was a victim of his times .
in this current season , there’s another mayor . when i first read through the concepts i was like , “oh , so there’s another character , another actor . ” and they went , “no , no , no . you are also the mayor . ” it’s so fun to watch jonathan krisel explain this to me and i’m like , “okay . ” he’s like , “no , ” — it’s almost as if i was supposed to know — “you’re the mayor of austin , too . ” it makes complete sense to jonathan . i’m much more practical , he’s like no , no this is the way it’s gonna be . which , of course , gets me very excited because the idea of playing this other mayor — who is a stereotypical mayor from another time with a big mustache . it’s like he exists in the 1800s . but in our mind , in “portlandia’s” mind , he’s current . he’s a guy you would have seen on tv back in westerns from a long , long time ago . i mean , it’s fun . it’s silly and fun .
as the storm rolled toward new york city on dec . 25 , mr . bloomberg was in bermuda , where he has a waterfront vacation home , according to three people told of his travels . mr . goldsmith was in his washington town house . as for ms . harris ? nobody would say .
the mayor does not see it that way . he jealously guards his privacy and cherishes secret jaunts to his five vacation homes , in places from vail , colo . , to london . it is not unusual for him to spend a weekend in paris , a six - hour flight from new york . this weekend , like many others , mr . bloomberg had no public events scheduled , and his aides declined to say where he was .

mr . vallone’s bill could prove difficult to dismiss , however . the councilman is both a longtime ally of the mayor and a popular figure in the council .
mr . de blasio’s predecessor , michael r . bloomberg , rarely took extended vacations , but he did frequently take a private jet to bermuda on the weekends . this will be mr . de blasio’s first vacation since early april , when he traveled with his wife to puerto rico for a four - day weekend .
mayor daryl justin finizio paints a fire hydrant green and gold for whaler pride outside new london city hall thursday , july 24 , 2014 while on his vacation . the mayor started his project of painting hydrants in front of the garde arts center and another at riverside park . his plan is to paint several a day in key visible points in the downtown area .
mr . de blasio said he wished mr . bloomberg and his aides would simply acknowledge whenever he left the city . “i think they would save themselves a lot of trouble , ” mr . de blasio said .
in a poll , residents called mayor c . ray nagin one of new orleanss biggest problems .
but the size of their lot will not allow thirteen palms to comply with other guidelines for licensed hotels . “there is no precedent for this , ” mr . ross said , “and no one can tell us what is going on or what the city would like us to do . so i am just going to back to running my business . when i get a notice in the mail that something has to change , we’ll address it . ”
at a news conference on april 7 , the mayor defended the hawaiian vacation . “i don’t see it as a violation of any law , any ethics rules , ” he said , because he had been told that the city official — greg meffert , the former chief of technology for new orleans — was paying for the trip , not the contractor .
new london - mayor daryl justin finizio paints a fire hydrant green and gold for whaler pride outside new london city hall thursday while on his vacation . the mayor started his project of painting hydrants on monday by painting a hydrant in front of the garde arts center and one at riverside park . his plan is to paint several a day in key visible points in the downtown area .
“i almost always believe that a more open and transparent process works better , ” mr . vallone said . he said his bill would probably not require such disclosures when a mayor took a short trip to albany or long island , for example .
with the headline : term limits say new orleans mayor can’t return ; residents say they don’t mind .
yeah , i’m the mayor of everything . it’s wonderful . it’s so playful and silly and wonderful .
for this presidential trip , the first time police officials convened to lay out a plan was shortly after mr . trump posted his tweet on monday .
“it’s been cleverly portrayed that there’s something wrong here , and no one has proven that yet , ” mr . nagin said at the time . he acknowledged , however , that “there’s still a question whether this is illegal or unethical . ” he declined requests for an interview .

even the president , whose job mr . bloomberg has at times compared to his own , does not try to hide his movements . on christmas day , for example , the public was told that barack obama skipped his morning workout , watched a basketball game on television and left his hawaiian vacation home at 3 : 26 p . m . in a short - sleeve shirt and dark slacks . reporters who inquired about how mr . bloomberg spent the day were told this : no comment .
after shrugging off his globe - trotting , none - of - your - business disappearances for nine years , lawmakers are suddenly pestering city hall aides about the mayor’s weekend whereabouts .
during such a crisis , said councilman peter f . vallone jr . , “no time should be wasted trying to figure out who is in power . ” mr . vallone has made inquiries about legislation that would compel city hall to disclose whenever a mayor leaves town , and who is in charge during his absence .

his aides declined to provide an exact itinerary , saying only that the mayor — along with his wife , chirlane mccray , and the couple’s two children — would travel “throughout the southwestern and western united states . ” no public events are planned .
after budget squabbles with the city council and a bruising , largely disappointing legislative session in albany , mr . de blasio and his family are set to depart for the other side of the country on tuesday for an eight - day getaway .
but this year , along with chatter about the obamas’ recent vacation in nearby rancho mirage , the dry air crackled with the conflict that has arisen between the palm springs city council , populated by long - term full - time residents ( including mayor robert moon ) , and proponents of the surging short - term vacation home rental market , empowered in the last several years by platforms like airbnb .
then the thunderclap : “going to new york next week for more meetings . ”
a mandatory sign - out sheet for the billionaire mayor ? city hall seems apoplectic . but the clamor is unlikely to die down , largely because the mayor refuses to disclose where he and his top lieutenants were when his administration botched the cleanup of the christmas weekend blizzard , creating confusion about who was in charge .
“it’s surprising that the mayor is not required to do this already , ” mr . russianoff said . the speaker of the council , christine c . quinn of manhattan , has signaled openness to the concept .
any parent who has confronted an empty nest can empathize with wanting to fit in family time before a youngest child leaves for school . of course , vacations can be a bit more complicated for the mayor of new york , whose personal plans are often viewed through a political lens .
an ordinance based on this agreement was passed at a public hearing on the evening before the modernism week opening party , pending approval of the planning commission , but the mayor voted against immediately enacting it , resulting in confusion about compliance . ( a lawyer representing a community group opposed to vacation rentals sent a letter to the city on thursday threatening litigation unless there was an immediate “moratorium on new vacation rentals” permits . )
“everything that was broken before katrina is now magnified , and the mayor has to be held accountable for it , ” mr . blakely said . housing may be blighted , the streets pothole - strewn and the infrastructure crumbling , he said , but “these things were broken long before katrina . ”

mr . vallone , a democrat from queens , said his potential legislation would not require the mayor to disclose his whereabouts , but simply to acknowledge his absence and to name his designated fill - in . mr . vallone said his real anxiety was that the mayor might be away during a terrorist attack , when momentous decisions , like whether to lock down a neighborhood or shutter the subway system , must be made in seconds .
in a recent poll by the university of new orleans , mr . nagin was cited as one of the “biggest problems” for the city , coming in third after crime and education . just 24 percent of residents over all said they approved of the mayor , a drop from 31 percent the year before .
“we’ve had a few other announced trips that we’ve prepared for that didn’t materialize , ” stephen p . davis , the chief spokesman for the new york police department , said .
but the bloomberg administration has tried to set up a blanket policy : rather than delegate power each time he leaves new york , mr . bloomberg signed an executive order stipulating that his first deputy mayor , patricia e . harris , was in charge whenever he was away . under the same order , if ms . harris was not in town , power then skipped to the deputy mayor for operations , a job now held by stephen goldsmith .

“it’s been a lot less than we expected , ” mr . de blasio said , noting mr . trump’s visit in may . “to his credit , he kept the time here very limited and the disruption very limited , ” mr . de blasio added . “hopefully , that will be the same this time . ”
he said mr . bloomberg had earned his privacy . “the mayor is at work by 7 : 15 most mornings , and entitled to hours off and a private life , ” mr . loeser said . “and whether he’s in bayside , bay ridge , or visiting his mom in the bay state , he’s always reachable and always in charge . ”
the mayor says his new mohawk hair style is in support of his sister who has cancer and did not want him , since he is a mayor , to shave his head like other family members did . finizio decided on a mohawk to support his sister ' s fight .
still , the hyper - secrecy that surrounds mr . bloomberg’s comings and goings is highly unusual . mayor edward i . koch not only shared his vacation itineraries with the world , but also held teleconferences with the news media from wherever he was visiting . new york governors have routinely disclosed where they will spend their day , whether or not public events are scheduled . at his most coy , gov . david a . paterson alerted constituents that he was in suffolk county — clever code for the beachside villages of the hamptons .
