Fun, Fabulous Fashion Illustrations!
I've been illustrating fashion since the early 90s after graduating from FIT. My love of runway sketching has afforded me opportunities to work with magazines, ad agencies, fashion designers & graphic artists. I specialize in traditional fashion illustration, but with a modern edge & witty hand-lettering. All of my work is done in acrylic paint & black ink on paper.
So beautiful

Men's Watches at Kmart: Go For Style and Function
Whether you're looking for a watch for work or play, Kmart has an impressive collection of attractive, affordable watches for men. Pick out a watch with a black or brown leather band for a sophisticated look at work. How about a Joe Boxer or Casio watch for the gym or more casual settings? If you are a runner or someone who is constantly on the run, a casual Casio watch is a great addition. Many come with stop watches and several alarms, so you never have to miss an appointment. Casio watches also are tough enough to spend some time at the bottom of the swimming pool and keep ticking.
It doesn't take long in the ladies watch department at Kmart to learn that watches are much more than simply time pieces. Ladies watches are like any other piece of fine jewelry. They can be mixed and matched with clothes and other jewelry. How about a dress watch with a black and white zebra casing? Perhaps you'd prefer something more traditional from Timex or Disney. Choose some of the latest designs for work and play after browsing the JLo, Jaclyn Smith and Sofia Vergara collections.
Pick out a watch your kids will be excited about by looking through the collection of kids watches at Kmart. Who's the latest favorite for your child - Justin Bieber, Spiderman, Tinkerbell or Minnie and Mickey Mouse? What about the Jonas Brothers, Sponge Bob Squarepants and sports team logos? At Kmart, you'll find these and many more featured on durable, attractive watches for boys and girls. There are plenty of pinks, purples and sky blues for the girls and manlier colors and designs for the boys.
Necklaces make a great gift for the man in your life. You'll find a variety of men's necklaces at Kmart, and our men's jewelry experts can help you pick out just the right one. The big decision here is whether to go with a pendant as well. You could choose a standalone chain in a variety of eye-catching designs, such as two-tone stainless steel with alternating gold and silver links. On the other hand, military-type dog tags and crosses are popular choices with men's necklaces. In fact, there are many different dog tags that area adorned with etched crosses.
Getting watches for the family doesn't have to be a daunting task. Head to Kmart where you'll find the latest styles for everyone in the family. In fact, Kmart is the place to go for all of your jewelry needs, including a vast selection of men's necklaces.

UTICA, N.Y.-- It's all aboard the Polar Express in Utica. The seasonal Adirondack Scenic Railroad line starts up this weekend. This is the eleventh year for the Polar Express, originally based on the book by the same name.
Kids start with activities run by Santa's elves before they depart for the North Pole.
On their way north, they'll listen to Christmas tunes, as well as the book. This year, they've added a few new details to the experience, including a cocoa and cookie car hosted by Mrs. Claus. Adirondack Scenic Railroad Utica Office Manager David Dietz said, "Seeing the expression on the kids' faces, just when they come in the station and see all the games happening, and once they are on the train and pulling into the North Pole, and you look off to the right and you see Santa Claus waiting for you... the energy that emits off them is just amazing."
The Polar Express will be running two trains every Friday through Sunday from now until Christmas.

I'd better finish the original Hunger Games series before I dive into the Next Hunger Games, but this does sound like a fun read.ReplyDelete
I agree about the cliff hanger thing. Unless all the books come out at once, of course!
Suzanne, don't enter me, but I was just gonna ask if you wanted to read my YA and now I learn "more than one scene set in a high school." Yes, I've committed that heinous YA crime. Because, uh, teenagers go to high school just like adults go to their jobs. Okay, not writers, but real adults. You know what I mean.ReplyDelete
LOL--Marta, I'd LOVE to read your YA! I can look over the high school part, as long as there is No Sparkling In the Lunchroom :-)ReplyDelete
I'll send it to you! But the high school scenes will make you re-think your whole high school scene hatred. You will have a newfound appreciation for cafeterias and lockers.ReplyDelete

Should your preferred language not be available, contents will be displayed in English.
Barco's OverView OVD5521 is a high-performance, high brightness (700 cd/m² typical) 55" LCD-panel, dedicated for use in tiled video wall applications. With an extremely narrow bezel of 3.5 mm (0.14"), excellent colors and contrast, and a wide viewing angle, the OverView OVD5521 takes the visual performance of LCD video walls in high-end control rooms to a new level. Boosting very high brightness levels, the OverView OVD5521 remains clearly readable whatever the room's lighting conditions.
Its best in class temperature sensor controlled heat management system, uses ultra low noise fans to ensure optimal cooling at all time, maximizing the backlight's lifetime. Additional innovations and low power consumption ensure this panel delivers maximal image quality at a minimal TCO.
All the different screens in a tiled LCD video wall need to be perfectly balanced in terms of colors and brightness, so regular calibration is essential. As the first and only manufacturer, Barco now introduces its SenseX automatic color and brightness calibration system, that lets you calibrate the complete wall within minutes, without any external sensor or manual intervention.
As an option, you can choose an external power supply. This allows to greatly reduce the maintenance costs, as there is no need for an expensive specialized technician. Everybody with a screwdriver can maintain and replace the equipment. Unlike competing models there is no performance impact for longer cables, so the external power supply can be positioned up to 100 meter from the video wall without any loss in image quality or brightness.
The OverView OVD5521 features integrated processors that allow network streaming, cropping and scaling, without the need for an external controller or player. Just connect the screens to the network, configure the settings and let the content play. This is extremely useful in basic control rooms where the full operation (e.g. camera surveillance) can now be done without a player or controller.
Available as Instant VideoWall bundle
Barco also offers complete packages, containing four, six or eight OverView OVD5521 displays to create a 2x2, 3x2 or 4x2 video wall respectively, complete with wall mounts and cables. Optionally, you can bundle it with a controller, and software. In this way, you have your completely configured video wall solution in one package.

Florence, SC…Dr. Kristopher Crawford, a medical doctor in Florence County and member of the South Carolina General Assembly, was jailed today following his arrest for failing to file income tax returns when due. South Carolina Department of Revenue investigators charged Dr. Crawford, 40, with four counts of failure to file when due his individual income tax returns for tax years 2004-2007 and three counts of failure to file corporate income tax returns for his company, Crawford Medical, LLC, for tax years 2005-2007. He is being held at the Florence County Law Enforcement Center pending a bond hearing. The Department of Revenue investigation found Dr. Crawford was required to file individual income tax returns for 2004-2007 as a result of having earned income in excess of one million dollars. The investigation found that Dr. Crawford failed to timely file the required income tax returns when due despite Dr. Crawford's CPA making several requests for Dr. Crawford's tax records.
Dr. Crawford was also the sole shareholder in Crawford Medical, LLC for tax years 2005-2007. During that time period, Crawford Medical, LLC earned $976,084 in gross receipts requiring the filing of state corporate income tax returns. Department records indicate Dr. Crawford was the custodian of records and registered agent for Crawford Medical, LLC. He is accused of failing to voluntarily file state corporate income tax returns when due and, again, even after requests were made, failed to provide his CPA with the necessary records to have the tax returns timely prepared. Upon conviction, in addition to all taxes due, Dr. Crawford faces up to 7 years in prison and fines of up to $70,000 if convicted of the charges. The Florence County Sheriff's Office assisted with the arrest.

What an absolutely stupid question to ask on a Jeep forum. 3 pages of wasted effort and opinions just as subjective as your fictitious car salesman.
This is an excellent example of how a troll works
|Have your buddy get in and out of the "back" doors of an FJ a few times then out of JKU. and OH... the front doors must remain closed while you are doing this. When that is done, see which one holds the most cases of beer without folding down the backseat in the cargo area. Am thinking the FJ loses on both those counts.
FJs are another street car. Just like land rovers. They made their name as offroad cars with old models that had stout drivetrains and now its all about luxury and road comfort. Nothing wrong with that, independent front and rear suspension work great for the rare offroader, but honestly, the gold offroading era of toyota died with the series 80 and 70... The FJ is just a car made to honor the old series 40 aimed at city drivers which is where the money is at. Off roaders are just but a tiny population.
And... something similar is happening to wranglers. People think they are, I dont know, race cars just because they now got a 280 hp engine, but cry out loud because its not as comfortable as their old SUV. So they demand absurd comfort mods or better ride from the factory, just another push to convert the wrangler into an FJ and take out the solid axles, because people don't understand the vehicle is not made for them ;D
My neighbor is the General Service Manager at Courtesy Toyota here in Orlando and there is a Rubi in his garage! Nuf said!
My wife loves her Rav4, and I think it is a pretty nice vehicle myself.
I looked at an FJ a few years ago after I was unimpressed with the Wrangler engine and interior (pre 2011-12). I really wanted 4 doors and hated the blind spot...plus the fuel economy really sucked....even for an "SUV". From an "off-roading" standpoint, the FJ was all that I needed.....and more. In the end, I purchased a very nice, super low milage, underpriced (at Carmax), 65th Annv Liberty over a new FJ.
I have nothing against FJ's....but I do laugh at people driving them on warm days and they can only roll down two windows.
One other thing that really bugged me. The lack of a moon roof. I'm 39 years old....and this Wrangler is the first vehicle I've owned in nearly 20 years that didn't have a moon roof. I even had my wife get a moon roof on her vehicle simply because I like them so much.
Of course, having the entire roof removable kinda makes up for it...and is also why I'm in Sunrider 90% of the time...which is something that can't be done in an FJ.
Toyotas are top notch with quality and longivity. hell i see a burgundy colored FJ today while on lunch break, i told my father thats a nice looking vehicle, only reason im dead set with wrangler is its ability to remove the roof and doors. NO other off roading vehicle can do that.
i know some of you scoff and laugh when i bring this up. but since selling my 400 hp Evolution and my nice little del sol cruiser. my daily has been a 2012 toyota yaris, base model as can be. crank windows, no power locks and no keyless entry.... yet it still comes with a USB port for music devices standard i won't get into that whole debate again. but point blank toyotas are very well made and i have had ZERO problems with it.
this is a similar topic i seen on the evom.net for years its always been the Evo VS STI threads... both leading competitors both very well matched against each other. to each is own, and if someone likes one or the other then so be it.
BonesBrigade response is excellent. Most folks (even many on this forum) will likely never use the capability that a Rubicon has over an FJ. And I have wheeled with FJ's, they are quite capable. And Toyota quality (at least versus Jeep) is hard to argue with.
I don't like the way the FJ looks, and I pretty much like everything about the Wrangler. But is it a better vehicle? Stock for stock (Rubi) offroad, yes. For everything else, probably not. I still wouldn't trade my Wrangler for an FJ.
OK, so....
I bought a Toyota FJ in April of 2006, one of the first around and I just traded it in July for a 2 door Wrangler (not an Unlimited). I believe I can speak to this subject with some authority.
The FJC is a VERY CAPABLE off-roader but is NOT as capable as a Jeep in many cases. Much of this was already mentioned, but here are some differences....
1. The FJC has independent front suspension and NOT a solid front axle. This means a smoother ride but less articulation on the trail.
2. It takes lots of driving the FJC to feel comfortable based on the miserable sight lines all over the vehicle. Front, sides and rear views are all obscured in some way. Driving down the highway, it isn't too bad if you have blindspot mirrors attached to your sideviews (which I did), but on the trail this can be lethal. I took mine offroad enough to be very comfortable driving in tight spots and backing up/turning around but it was at time unnerving without a spotter along ledges. Driving the Wrangler is a revelation in that I can see all around me with the top/doors off and even with everything on it is so much easier to see.
3. I suspect that the FJC would be more reliable over the course of its lifetime. Even Jeep owners will attest to the fact that you're still "buying a Chrysler"... In seven years I never had a single issue with the FJ and performed only the standard oil changes, fluids, etc... My Jeep already clicks and squeals and rattles and the engine makes crazy sounds. The thing is that if you EXPECT it and know that "It's a Jeep thing", it won't drive you too crazy.
4. The FJC comes standard with a locking rear differential and Toyota's "ATRAC" control system, which is really an awesome system. The Jeep's "Command-Trac" system is just as good but to get a standard locker one must pony up for the Rubicon.
5. My FJ did not come with downhill assist (they might have that now?). My Jeep came with it as an option. I tested out this feature this past weekend and once again Jeep did not disappoint. I would feel confident using this on some of the steepest terrain around saving the breaks and keeping the vehicle under control. I would have to put my FJ in 4 Lo and use first gear to get a similar effect, but it did not function nearly as well as the Jeep system.
6. Modifications are much easier to perform and parts are very easy to come by for Jeeps. Toyota has a decent aftermarket network as well, but Jeeps have anything and everything and people know how to apply decades of knowledge working on Jeeps here in the US.
7. Believe it or not, the backseat is MUCH more cramped in the FJ than even the two door Wrangler. Additionally, there are only tiny boat-like windows in the backseat for any passengers to try to look out. I was never back there, so I didn't care but it you are toting anybody around it is bad.
8. The FJ comes standard with rubberized floor. This is something that I really wish Jeep would consider. This was VERY nice for simply hosing or wiping out after mudding it up.
9. The approach/breakaway angles are better on the Jeep, allowing for the ability to go more places and get over more rocks and inclines/declines on the trail.
10. I believe that the water fording specs are nearly identical at 30".
11. The Pentastar engine is more powerful than the standard FJ.
12. FJ has an inclinometer standard that comes in handy.
13. The FJ is much longer and wider than the 2-door Wrangler meaning the turning radius is much better on the Wrangler (this is very important off and on-road) and you can go more places in the Wrangler where the FJ just doesn't fit.
Overall, I wheeled the FJ all over and it basically went over everything that I pointed it at. It was a terrific vehicle. Its on-road manners compared to the Wrangler are far superior. So, why the Jeep for me? I was sick of seeing people driving around with tops/doors off and I was sick of the claustrophobic feeling of driving the FJ.
But, I've always wanted a Jeep and knew I'd get as good or better off-road capabilities right out of the box. I was able to add a lift and bigger tires and now the price of my Jeep is about the same as an equivalent FJ. I am about 4" higher in ground clearance, have better tires, far better field of vision, can remove doors/top, can articulate more and have better angles for about the same price. The only thing I wish I had (and it is a big whiff) are the rear lockers.
From strictly an intangible aspect, the Wrangler is 100% more fun to drive either on road or off. THIS, to me, is of colossal importance. I drive my Jeep every day with no purpose in mind...JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT. I rarely did that with the FJ. This is good for my state of mind. I'm a Jeep guy now (barring any massive quality issues) and I proudly wave to all fellow Jeepsters. I've already attended a local meet and greet and met some TREMENDOUS individuals. There is no fellowship within the FJ community. I would buy the Jeep 100 times out of 100 if I had it to do over again.
Just my $0.02...
The perspective of a mall crawler {comparing JK (not JKU) to an FJ}:
Traded my '10 JK in for an '11 FJ. Yep, I tend to buy new cars/trucks about once a year. I get bored. I also grew tired of my old interior. It scratched too easily and it just looked like cheap plastic.
Initially I enjoyed the FJ. Decent handling and performance (remember, I had the old 3.8 to compare it with) on paved roads. As soon as the novelty wore off, I soon noticed the excess wind noise emanating around the front windshield and the front side windows/rear view mirrors. The buffeting became an annoyance, especially on the highway.
The front windshield was extremely difficult to clean. At just over 5-11" I could never reach the center of the windshield. Very annoying, because the angle of the front windshield is similar to the JK's front windshield.
The FJ is essentially an SUV. I bought it because it's the only SUV with only two doors, notwithstanding the half doors. I actually like this feature.
I prefer the JK over the JKU, so the experience of going from a JK to an FJ for me, was like going from a sports car to a big sedan. The JK is short and sweet, the FJ is just another medium sized SUV. It's a lot longer than the JK...
The enormous blind spots at the rear side windows, to include to a lesser extent, the poor visibility to the rear, prompted me to trade it in after only two yrs. My wife hated driving it. She loved the JK.
I couldn't stand the skinny/non-leather steering wheel of the FJ. Hated it!
The turning radius of the FJ sucked compared to the JK.
The only thing I liked about the FJ over the JK was the solid roof/top.
I always feared my leaky HT.
I was hoping Jeep would bring back the single piece HT (at least make it an option), like I had on my '00 TJ, so that I could order me another Jeep.
Jeep are you listening???
From my perspective, the JK (remember, two doors folks) and the FJ could not be anymore different. The only thing these two vehicles have in common is four wheel drive. It's apples and oranges with these two vehicle.
My two cents...
Tangent, I know.
|I've wheeled with a dude and his FJ. It did well. I wouldn't knock it, but it aint for me. Now, if I couldn't have me Jeeps, the FJ be a contender.
|My wife and I actually had a 07' fj cruiser prior to our 2011 jku, we drove the fj for 136,000 miles before selling it. In all honesty I probably would have bought another one if I did not stumble across the jku deal, it was WAY WAY too good to pass up. Ended up less than $25k w double top, 10k miles, fully loaded sahara, remote start, heated leather, nav, and all the fancy crap. We like it, but there jack$hit for towing capacity compared to the fj, and the fj did ride nicer. All around the jku is much more fun to drive but the fj was much more practical for daily usage.
|I don't know if I should post this but, the reason I went with the JKU over the FJ is because I wanted something similar to what I used to go off roading in. I have always had older Ramchargers with the top off. The last year for that was 1980, seeing as that put the newest one at 33 years old and parts are really hard to find for them. I went with the JKUR, because it seem to be the most capable for off roading. By the way, my wife sells vehicles for Toyota.
|Toyota quality may be legendary, but not with manual transmissions. My buddies 5 year old FJ has less than 30,000 miles and they've had to replace clutch components 3 times. If it wasn't under warranty he would have to shelled out over $1200. Less than 10% of FJs are manuals and there is a design problem with the way the clutch and throwout bearing line up. FYI he spends way more time in that thing off road than on-road, and yes, he does know how to drive a stick.
Buncha threads like this...they seem to crop up every summer. All I can say is, please.
FJ Cruiser is a wannabe. I know peeps mod em to do offroad stuff, but trying to compare them to a Wrangler is like comparing a Cruller to a standard doughnut.
With the Jeep being the Cruller, of course.
FJC peeps, you lose.
So FJ does stand for "FAKE JEEP", right?
|Only one thing needs to be said about the FJ: not a jeep.
i've owned a 2007 (first year) 6-speed FJ Cruiser and it is a solid but quirky vehicle. It's all wheel drive, in the manual, and it locks the center when in 4-lo plus you lock the rear diff if you need to. I had a couple dangerous moments with the all wheel drive on pavement where one tire grabbed more than the other up front and literally almost ripped the steering wheel out of my hand. This was my fault mostly as I just kept at speed going over a raised railroad track.
It's just as capable as any other showroom floor off-roader. It has blind spots for sure but the little mirrors you stick on get around that. The rear quarter doors are annoying with the suicide opening position. I never like that the rear window wasn't powered to go down. With just the two windows you can open it sucked on the freeway or at fast speeds as you would get the helicopter effect and air was slamming into my left ear. Even though my 2-door only has the two windows that go down something about ti's size I'm guessing makes it so it doesn't do this. Other than that I really enjoyed my FJ and never had a problem with it, ever, just regular maintenance.
The reason I own a Jeep now is I wanted a smaller vehicle, Toyotas are just getting bigger and bigger, and I've never had anything convertible so why not get a JKR!
I've driven both, my FJ for 6 years and my JKR for almost 6 months now and they are apples and oranges but your basic off-road capability is almost identical. I'm not a brand loyalist but I have a spot in my heart for Toyotas simply because I have only used their vehicles to off-road over the past couple decades. The Jeep is just as fun if not more just because of it's size and all the configurations you can put it in to go topless!
Wranglers are a very unique experience and that's what it's really got going for it. The front locker on my Rubicon doesn't hurt either!
|My seven year old was always complaining about not being able to see outside in the FJ. So one day I rode around in the back and quickly understood what he meant. Back window is small and too far forward and out front was not much better. Bought a JKU and he loves it. If a seven year old can figure it out.......
Good info. Lifelong jeep driver here, but it's always nice to have options...and while I wouldn't personally own an FJ, Toyota's reliability is pretty legendary.
Is the End in Sight? (UPDATED) - FJC Magazine - For FJ Cruiser Owners and Enthusiasts | FJC Magazine - For FJ Cruiser Owners and Enthusiasts
need i say more?
I have and like both. Wife has her FJ with an OME lift and trail grapplers and I have my JKU with an AEV and Duratracs.
Both are great just a little different in purpose.
For the record, we've had her FJ for almost 6 years now and aside from scheduled maintenance, the only thing I've had to do to it AT ALL was a new light bulb and a new battery a couple years ago. She loves her truck.
We dont rock crawl "hardcore" trails so either one is good for us. Plus we get to give each other crap all the time for our vehicle choices, lol.
Both good.

I've been too busy at work to really delve into my genealogy hobby, but a few new things have come to my attention and I'd like to share them. I've made small updates to the following pages:
Clare research
I found a civil death register at Newfoundland Grand Banks that included the death of my great-great-grandfather John Clare in Harbour Grace in 1892. The register also gave his age which allowed me to figure his birth date as about 1836. Best of all, the register included his place of birth as ENGLAND. I don't know where in England, but at least I have traced another Newfoundland ancestor back to Europe. I remember my grandmother telling me that her grandfather had come from England. Often family stories end up as just stories, so I was pleased to see that one work out.
Gaule research
Another researcher contacted me on Ancestry.com to insist that my great-grandmother Anastasia Gaule had a sister named Anne Gaule who also emigrated to Cambridge, MA. I had heard this rumor before, I think back in my days on AOL, but I had dismissed it because the names seemed too similar and I thought my father would have heard of a whole group of relatives living so close. However, this researcher had lots of matching info about Anastasia's parents whom she claimed were also Anne's parents. I managed to find a marriage record for Anne on AmericanAncestors.org that gave her parents' names, which matched, so now I'm convinced. I added Anne into the Gaule family.
Hegarty research
There was a family story that my great-grandfather John James Hegarty served in the British Army before emigrating to Massachusetts in 1890. He was supposed to have served in the Boer War with the Royal Munster Fusiliers, but the dates that the RMF were in South Africa didn't work with John's age and emigration dates. Recently, though, Ancestry.com turned up a record for a Private J. Heggarty serving with the Royal Malta Artillery in the Sudan, with dates that actually work. I am supposing this is him, since it's a Royal M-word regiment and it's in Africa. If I find better or different evidence going forward, I'll revise. Meanwhile, here is a photo from Wikipedia of the campaign medals John would have received after the Suakin Expedition, though his medals would likely not have had a date.

PODCAST: Freedomland U.S.A.
What is Freedomland U.S.A.? An unusual theme park in the Bronx, only in existence for less than five years, Freedomland has become the object of fascination for New York nostalgia lovers everywhere.
Created by an outcast of Walt Disney's inner circle, Freedomland practically defines 60s kitsch, with dozens of rides and amusements related to saccharine views of American history. Along the way, we'll take a visit to the Blast-Off Bunker, Casa Loca, and, yes, Borden's Barn Boudoir!
Listen to it for FREE on iTunes or other podcasting services. Or click this link to listen to the show or download it directly from our satellite site.
NOTE: There's nothing wrong with your speakers! I include a short clip in this podcast of an original Freedomland radio advertisement from 1960. The sound quality of the clip is extremely bad, however I thought it was important to include as it sets the tone for what Freedomland was all about (or, rather, wanted to be about).
The map through Freedomland mimicked the outline of the United States. (Well, sorta.) Visitors entered through Washington D.C. and meandered through candy-coated interpretations of various national regions, ending up in the future (located in the American South).

Another view of the Santa Fe (courtesty Gorillas Dont Blog)
Looking out over the 'United States'
A rather blurry image -- perhaps that's best -- of Borden's Barn Boudoir, featuring the private rooms of one Elsie the Cow (Pic courtesty Benros, who has a great page on Freedomland.)
The picture below is NOT from Freedomland, but it gives you an idea of what Elsie's bedroom might have looked like. Apparently, Bordens loved nothing more than putting their bovine mascot in this type of setting; she also had a bedroom at the World's Fair of 1964-65 in Flushing Meadows, most likely transported from the failing Freedomland attraction.
Why people are so entertained by this, I'll never understand. But if fire was your game, Freedomland let you enjoy the re-burning of Chicago every day. And sometimes, the firemen actors would grab volunteers to help put out the blaze! (Pic courtesy God Bless Americana)
Freedomland was perpetually in debt and often a great inconvenience with long lines and unfinished rides. This family, visiting in July 1960, doesn't seem to mind. (Flickr)
A promotional poster for Freedomland's futuristic Satellite City, which wasn't opened for a few days after the park's opening, by which time crowds had died off considerably. (Pic courtesy Perky Pickle, who has other great poster images from the park's heyday.)
This frightening little attraction was the Blast-Off Bunker, because there's nothing more fun than hanging out in a dark bunker on a nice summer's day. In fact, inside you could enjoy the 'tense excitement' of a Cape Canaveral control room.
You could experience the joys of riding a 'modern automobile' in Freedomland's knockoff future land. A sad way of marketing a go-cart, but at least this picture is pretty great. (Courtesy Flickr)
Freedomland was more than happy to abandon its themes if it meant more paying customers. Here are two stunt men from a 'Colossus' spectacular in 1961. (Benros)
Some detailing from a Freedomland souvenir fan, featuring a map of the park on one side, and beer advertisement on the other. This was, after all, a 'family entertainment center.' (Click it for a closer look.)
Freedomland was replaced by another oddity -- the massive Co-op City, housing over 50,000 residents, and often referred to as a 'city within a city'. Theoretically, one never need leave Co-op City.
After the closing of Freedomland, some rides were rescued by other amusement parks, including the Tornado Adventure, seen here at Lake George, NY. It was eventually closed for good in 2003. If you really want to experience the delights of a tornado, you'll have to go to the midwest! (Courtesy Laff In The Dark)
I tried to include a lot of link above to other great websites with more information on Freedomland. The most comprehensive tribute can be found on Rob Friedman's old site on the park, with dozens of pictures, sounds and personal stories.
Any of you remember visiting this place? Leave a comment!

I hadn't even thought of Freedomland since the 60's. It stopped me in my tracks when I heard the name. I remember my family and our friends who lived across the street all piling in the station wagon for our drive from Levittown to the park. Nothing else came to mind, but when you mentioned Elsie the cow- BINGO! I was mesmerized by that cow...I remember just standing there and being thrilled. Who knows what will captivate a little girl's imagination. It all just came back to me in a flash. Thanks for taking me back to a time of pure joy and warm memories.ReplyDelete

Yeah! The Chicago Fire. I was selected to help pump one night & so we started pumping and all of a sudden, the pump started moving by itself - it was motorized! As a 12 year-old, I was crushed by the fakery. The good part was the photographer for LIFE Magazine snapped the scene so I became a smudge on a piece of newsprint.ReplyDelete
I managed to go there with my friend a number of times since we lived in the East Bronx & it was a quick ride over. During the week, there were no crowds to worry about.

I grew up right outside the park, but didn't go there as often as I would have liked because I was under 10. A new DVD has been created by Bob Mangels and is available on eBay. He has done a lot of research on the park for years, and I have been doing a lot within the last 10. The park did not have to fail. It had some things going against it, but it was doomed from the start, because they really wanted to develop this swamp land for Co-op city. A 20-year wait to build such high buildings could be waved to several years if buildings several stories high could stand for only a few years on the land -- and how high are buildings on main street of any amusement park? The park was not where the apartment buildings are now located. Mostly the parking lot was where some of the buildings stand and the park was located where the shopping center is now. That land for years was owned by the Teamsters Union pension fund, which got a lot of money for that property. To learn the true story, you need to view the DVD I mentioned. While some of the web sites feature good information about the park, Bob's gotten to the heart of the matter about how the park was developed and why it closed. Hey, does anyone remember seeing Chuck McCann do his Halloween kids show from the park?ReplyDelete

FREEDOMLAND< haven't thought about that for years!! I too lived in hte Bronx back then. Actually inhte Pelham Bay section of the Bronx, so we woudl go over there all the time as it was a short walk for us.ReplyDelete
It was a great place for us kids that didn't really care some of the rides were not finiahed, and near the end many were broken,. It was fun place, Too bad the corrupt system allowed it to be built to see if swamp land could be built on so that the Co-Op City complex could be put in.
This was a fascinating podcast. Every time I drive to LGA I marvel at the size of co-op city, and never realized something was there before it.ReplyDelete
Your podcast has gotten me through many long drives in and out of NY as well as many flights, such as today from Denver to Hartford (Puck Building, Freedomland, Woolworth Building).
Incidentally, whenever I drive over the drawbridge through co-op city, I hum the three notes generated by my tires on the different road surfaces. This is fun, but I get funny looks when others are in the car!

I was 10 years old with Ed Sullivan on the original broadcast about Freedomland. It took all day to tape the show segment. He was very patient and very kind. I loved the place but they forgot about the NY winters.ReplyDelete

Hey, does anyone remember seeing Chuck McCann do his Halloween kids show from the park?ReplyDelete
Absolutely! I remember bits and pieces of it like it was yesterday and I have been looking for references online about it for a number of years. As I recall it had two actual children and a number of puppets including a witch. It was one of my favorite Halloween specials. I have been trying to find a New York TV guide from October 1963 as I understand it's listed there. Anyone else have some memories on this?Replies
- AnonymousMarch 11, 2013 at 12:55 AM
I have been looking for this too. It was a wonderful show. I never did get to see it but that one time so my memory of it is not too vivid. I hope there is an original tape somewhere and it's posted one day soon. Sad to say i'm not getting any younger and i hope i can hold out. lolDelete
I was 8 when it was aired so that's a long time passing.
I always loved Chuck McCann for his unwavering talent to make children smile.

Wow! This brings back memories!ReplyDelete
We used to drive by Freedomland all the time on our way up to Connecticut from Bayside. We always said Dad we want to go!, but he never took us (at least we did get to Palisades Park). Now we will never get to go . . .
Hehe Chuck McCann! I remember that show he did from Freedomland. Was that show on Channel 5 or Channel 11?
And whenever we went over that bridge, we would make that noise the tires made!
Imagine my surprise years later in graduate school doing research for a business law class, and reading the Freedomland civil suit in a legal record.

As a kid growing up in Somerville, N.J. I got to go to Freedomland 3-4 times. My most vivid memory is of an attraction where stuff rolled up hill. You could set a soda can on a table and even though it looked like it was angled down hill, the can rolled up the hill. It still amazes me. Freedomland was the closest we kids from N.J would come to Disneyland for a reallly long time. California was on the other side of the country and Disney World was not even started yet. I have many great memories of a visit with my cub scout troop. Thanks for the bolg. KReplyDelete

Went to Freedomland several times over two summers loved the fried chicken with honey in "New Orleans", "Casa Loco" with weird distortions of gravity, and I'll never forget seeing My father's face of amazement as We stood a couple of feet away from Benny Goodman and His Orchestra.

I lived in Washington Heights back then and have a vague memory of my grandparents taking me to Freedomland. I remember riding the skyride and getting a wooden bird cage with a small wood bird as a souvenier. I've often wondered about Freedomland and was glad to find this site to help fill in some of the blanks. It's so sad that with such a large metro area, NYC couldn't sustain Freedomland or Palisades Amusement Park or Rockaway Playland or Coney Island. I've been to Great Adventure, Disney World, and Universal Studios Florida with my kids, but I'm sorry we never had the chance to get to any of NY's classics.ReplyDelete

i remember swimming across the creek off baychester ave. and climbing over the fence to get in for free. besides great rides and food , you could see topshelf entertainment like louie armstrong, the 4 seasons at least once a summer. freedomland also had some of the hottest females on the planet, new york city girls.it's sad but it was doomed from the start. it was open maybe 5 months a year tops but didn't get crowded til school was out. a few rainy weekends and the whole season was lostReplyDelete
For years there has been talk of recreating experiences in a 'virtual' way. If it is ever done, I hope that Freedomland is recreated in this manner. It was the best!ReplyDelete

Fond memories of seeing Elsie the Cow, too.ReplyDelete
we definitely saw Cab Calloway there.ReplyDelete
and, yeah--the can rolling up the hill--that's the only other thing that i remember right now.

I loved freedom land as a kid. In its day it trumped Disneyand (as Disney was then) but New York did not have year round good weather like Disney did in California and it was consequently reliant on seasonal business.ReplyDelete
A great concept but wrong location . Mega theme parks must have a fairly solid year round trade to reain profitable and competitive.
My childhood memories of Freedom And USA however remain fond.

I was stunned to hear about Freedomland on NPR today. I was there with my sister when they had the stagecoach accident that eventually caused the financial ruin of Freedomland. Apparently, the horse handlers warned the owners that the train that ran through the park would spook the horses. That is exactly what happened the day we visited. Coming down the last hill, the horse spooked and bolted. The stagecoach flipped over and severely injured most riders. My sister and I were on top and were thrown clear of the coach. I had a small cut on my elbow and my sister had a damaged tooth. Others broke legs and spines when they were trapped under the coach. My uncle and cousins helped lift the stagecoach off the injured. Many lawsuits later, Freedomland closed. I never heard anyone mention that place until today.ReplyDelete

I just came upon an old 3 reel Viewmaster set (remember the 3D thrills?) of Freedomland sent to me by my sister. I vaguely remember some of it, as I was about 4 y/o at the time. Amazing pictures from a time when life seemed so much simpler. I plan on finding out if the small images within the reel can be enlarged without too much expense.ReplyDelete

I grew up right across the highway from Freedomland!! I was raised as a child on Edson Avenue. I could look out my bedroom window and see the park. I don't recall exact memories of visiting Freedomland (I'm sure we went on several occasions), but I do have a good memory of when they tore down the park to build Co-op City. I can still see the steel beams in my mind's eye!! I remember the talk around town that the buildings would gradually sink over time because they were built on swamp land. Funny how I can rememer that!!ReplyDelete

No, I rushed to get a deal done by the deadline last night but didn't hear anything until just now. I checked numerous times throughout the day and around 6ish to see if anything was said and nada. I check back 5 hours later and not only was it rejected DESPITE TRADE CHECKER (screwing over Twolves too cuz he traded his 2 guard under the presumption that our trade would work... I'm really sorry man... If I had known I wouldn't have even offered) but we also had a sim. Not only did I notget a chance to update my depth chart, I went 0-9 or something. So yeah I'm pissed. And I don't appreciate you acting like a dick. Would you laugh if that **** happened to you?
So all I'm asking, can we at least have more than 4-5 hrs heads up before a trade... Esp on Friday nights? And a definitive trade deadline in the future seasons.
Sorry, just frustrated.
I know how you feel, sorry for laughing at the trade, my 3 teamer earlier in the year didn't work either, I was pretty furious/frustrated. So again, sorry.

February Secret Agent #32
No one believes me when I say the Nationals hire kids to spy on us. You know your classmate, the one the teacher favors?
A spy.
Maybe a killer.
Just ask my best friend whose body is rotting in a grave back in Arizona.
Here's what I know so far.
It started a month ago, when Dianne said, "I changed my mind about how I'm going to die."
I looked up from my new Equalreader. My best friend was sitting on the bed opposite mine. She was sleeping over—her mother's night to work at the hospital—and she was doodling on her homework screen. Dianne was the nice sister I never had. My real sister resented my very existence and kept insisting I was adopted, so Dianne's friendship kept me alive.
"Again?" I asked.
Dianne started this last year by betting me a million dollars she'd die in a shootout when she was 26. Since then, she's changed her bet a dozen times. Her most recent version was dying in a scuba accident at age 19, during her honeymoon.
She looked up and wiped a tear. "I think something horrible is going to happen."
"All your choices are horrible," I pointed out, trying to reassure her. "Just pick something quick like a heart attack so we can finish our homework."
"You think I choose how I'll die? These are dreams. And this time it's Alex who kills me. In Tucson."
It turned out she was wrong about the Tucson part.

I was waffling between hooked and not hooked until we get to the part where Dianne becomes serious.
Totally would read on!
- February 15, 2012 at 11:55 AM
- Alexandra said...
I like this. Really catching dialogue and a nice balance between narration and present action. The only line I'd cut would be the "ask my best friend" line, if only because I think it takes away the punch from "It turned out she was wrong about the Tucson part." Besides that, I really, really liked this. Best of luck!

Really great opening with a cool concept, and the last sentence makes me wanna keep reading. :) Good luck!

Winner! I loved this from the start. I'm a sucker for an intro that speaks directly to a reader.
Is this contemporary or does it have a post-apocolyptic slant? (just wondering with the spying and all).
My suggestion is to tighten the writing by losing the "was sitting" and "was sleeping" and change to more active "sat" and "planned to sleep over," etc. I have a huge tendency to write like this in my early drafts and spend a lot of time search + finding for use of was +ing verbs. It will quicken the pace for you and show more active voice.
Great job, I really like this!
- February 15, 2012 at 4:01 PM
- Stephsco said...
Acutally, the tense of the first line is present but the rest seems to be past. So I would just make sure the verb tenses match up (again something I particularly have to pay attention to in my own writing so I'm acutely aware!)
- February 15, 2012 at 4:06 PM
- sbjames said...
Hooked. Very hooked- the only bit I might change is the paragraph about Dianne. It goes on long enough that when the MC says "Again?" I had to go back to see what she was replying to.
That paragraph describes her location in the room- and that's she's staying over-where her mom works and compares/contrasts her to the real sister. Maybe one of those facts could go or be put in elsewhere.
But overall, I liked it, alot.
- February 15, 2012 at 5:25 PM
I like this, the almost playful tone of the opening right down to the serious and (probably) devastating end.
I would definitely read on.
- February 15, 2012 at 6:01 PM
- GSMarlene said...
I was confused for a while, not knowing the genre, but that last line? I'd definitely read on!
- February 15, 2012 at 6:27 PM
Great voice!

- Alleged Author said...
Excellent voice! Nothing like paranoid to start the day. :P

I was starting to drift until I hit the last line. Now I really want to know what happens.
- February 15, 2012 at 9:17 PM
- Julia said...
Can I just say that I absolutely love this? I've read this at least five times now, and it catches me every time. The last sentence is killer (no pun intended). I'd love to read more of this!
- February 15, 2012 at 9:29 PM
- TL Sumner said...
Love the voice and the dialogue is great. I'm totally hooked. :)
- February 15, 2012 at 9:33 PM
- Metz Photography said...
Hooked. Very hooked.
The tense shift in the first line doesn't even bother me. The two longest paragraphs where we get the backstory about the friendship and the bet, I'd parse them down, tighten and get rid of the passive voice to keep the pace high, driving to that last night. Great job.
- February 17, 2012 at 9:38 AM
You have a strong voice in the beginning and then strong at the end but I lost interest in the middle. Maybe cut the long paragraph about how Dianne is her best friend?
Great opening and great last line though.

More Yuma Asami
Yua is the sister of my bar tender. He decided one day to play a joke on her and bug her room with cameras. He had intended on just showing it to her, but when he got the camera back the footage was too hot to just show and tell! Sonce she isnt interested in going to clubs yet, he brought the film in and we all watched it. His sister is one hot gal! I think she knew about the cameras though just because of the way she was acting!
This lovely Asian model was seen at a wake for a friend of hers. She was very upset and a friend of the family decided to comfort her and things got pretty heated in the waiting room. The film is now going to be on the web for all to see. It is amazing the things you can see when there are survey cameras where you wouldnt think they would be! Once she sees this I don??t think she will do that again!
Hot Asian stweardess is great at sucking cock. Her boyfriend is always bragging about her abilities! We have told him to get her on film then we can see ourselves how good she is. She isn´t in town very much but when she is, she is nothing short of amazing with cock. I wonder if he would share her talent with us if we asked nicely! She is in demand and always ready for fun when her time to lay over comes up!
Cute Asian model is enjoying her nude sunbathing. She really enjoys being nude and getting that all over tan that looks so good on people. She has to be careful that she doesn??t burn those nice tits while she is out there having fun! She will make a nice sexy model should she decide to do it for a living, but right now she just wants to have some fun!
Yua is a lovely Asian doll in her black lingerie and fishnet stockings. She shows off her hairy pussy, and her guy gets his tongue in her wet slit for some pussy licking. This busty teen gives him a hot handjob and she finishes up with cum on her lovely hands. She is popular with her boyfriend because of her many talents!
This Asian model looks hot in her blue lingerie set. She has a nice set of tits she happily shows off as well. She likes bewing photographed when she is relaxing in her sexy clothes and is hoping that her pictures will get her into modeling as a full time career. That way she won??t waitress for her whole life. She is a lovely teen and I am sure she will do well in the modeling industry.
This Asian teen is a hot item! She is hot in her teeny bikini as she is teasing the guys that tune in to her site in a regular basis. She is new to this part of the country and has just begun to show off her hot body to those who are interested. She is a recent graduate and before going on to higher education she is taking some time to explore hoer own marketability.
Yua is a lovely Asian teen model. She likes showing off her lingerie to her boyfriend when he comes by. She is a busty gal who enjoys some tit licking and pussy licking while she is with her boyfriend . She was showing him her black stockings and he was very horny so she gave him a hot blowjob that he enjoyed a lot. He soon wanted her hairy pussy so he took her doggy style for a hard pounding she thoroughly enjoyed!
Her innocent looking face will fool you when you see this Asian hottie. She is a barely legal model who is working her way through school being a masseusse. You can see she is really into her work and the clients enjoy it immensely. She has a hidden camera and usually gets some pretty good shots when she is working. The good ones go on the web site for all to see!
Yua is in her bedroom in her pink lingerie with her horny guy. She is getting her hairy pussy licked, and lots of attention for her big titties. She is giving him a hot blowjob and getting her tits squeezed when he can get his hands on them. She wants a deep penetration so she is getting on for a cock ride!

GSM Digital Voice Activated Mobile Phone Recorder; with omni-directional dual microphones
This is a unique voice activated digital audio surveillance device specifically designed for recording incoming / outgoing mobile phone calls. Unlike conventional digital voice recorders, this GSM Mobile Phone Voice Recorder will only switch ON and record the moment it detects GSM frequency signals - ignoring all other sound distractions whilst in voice activation mode for example; general chatter, car radio's, CD players, televisions, machinery etc. This is a fantastic custom-built recorder with integrated dual stereo omni-directional microphones for superior recording quality.
The GSM mobile phone voice recorder can be placed / hidden within the target room / car environment ready to record all mobile phone/s within the vicinity. The unit is integrated with two (2) powerful, highly sensitive microphones offering 360 degrees of detection from over 35 feet away from where the unit is placed / hidden. All recordings are stored with a time counter to both internal flash memory and removable SD card.
The unit can either be powered
by 2x AA lithium batteries which will provide approx two (2) weeks standby or can be connected to any mains power supply for unlimited standby operation.
To play back stored recordings, this can be done either directly through the devices in-built speaker, or simply connect the device to your computer. You may also remove the SD card from within the unit and play through your computers Media Player or any other compatible media player. Recordings can also be stored to your computer, archived or emailed in seconds.
We were approached by an education trust whereby pupils were using mobile phones to cheat in exams. This was done by the pupil using an
invisible earpiece
connected via Bluetooth to their mobile phone hidden under clothing which enables the pupil to discreetly communicate to a third party (with access to a computer) feeding information.
The distinct advantage of using this custom-built product means all other audio interference including normal conversations and any other background noise is completely ignored whilst only an active GSM signal will trigger the unit to detect the handset being used and record that call for one (1) minute before returning to standby mode. This cycle will continue until either the power is depleted (if using lithium batteries) or the memory becomes full.
This is a very powerful advantage for education departments or any other business that must detect and identify person/s using restricted equipment.
Discreetly record and identify an employee/s who may be using their mobile phone to discuss sensitive company material to competitors.
Discreetly record and identify an employee/s who may be abusing company mobile phone use.
Confirm or quash suspicions that your partner may be making / receiving mobile phone calls in their vehicle that you need to know about.
In all situations above, the GSM voice activation feature
will provide much longer battery operation than continuous recording whilst filtering out unwanted recordings that would otherwise trigger a standard digital voice recorder.
Please Note:
Only one side of the mobile phone conversation can be recorded. The unit whilst being superior in audio recording quality is not possible to pick-up the other person on the end of the call speaking.
This discreet surveillance audio recorder is specifically custom-built and designed to offer a unique spin on standard digital audio voice recorders. A fantastic way to incorporate a covert voice recorder into your home, office or vehicle environment without arousing any suspicion.
