Child-Friendly Furniture Suggestions for Sharing New Apartment with Son?
Good Questions
Q: Hi, I am moving to a one-bedroom in a new development rental/condo on the UWS in NYC. My 2-yr old son and I (I work from home) will be sharing the place. Any ideas on how to accommodate our shared living? Clean, modern, uncluttered but child-friendly style is desired. I need new furniture/furnishings on a budget.

Did you have any ideas on how to live with your son when selecting apartments? It just seems odd to do this after signing a lease.
That said, I like the efficiency of the kitchen/bath/laundry in this unit. A lot of new developments fail at trying to put in more amenities than a small space can hold which actually makes ths space smaller.
You should think of your unit as public space and private. All private functions like the boy's space and your office should be in the bedroom. Are you open to sleeping on a pullout bed/sofa? Locate this in the living room.
Hi Jane,
This is a fun situation (not really a problem) to solve. I would make the LR a studio apartment for yourself - work/sleep/social and leave the one bedroom for your son who will have privacy, as will you, and won't be reliant on your schedule for sleeping, playing etc. I would "borrow" some of his space for storage (clothes, books, linens etc.) to free up the LR. I socialize/sleep/work in a Brooklyn Hts space not much larger than your LR. Create lots of floor plans before deciding on furniture -and make things do double duty - library table/dining table, office chair that is comfy for reading and dining and entertaining etc. Good luck!

My sister, brother-in-law and nephew would be jealous. They are in 600 sq ft in the West Village and my nephew is 9. They were able to take the studio and repartition it because it's a coop, but they might have a couple of things for you to adopt.
Set up a "drop zone" -- place for stroller/coats etc. on pegs to the right of the WD...that way your son can learn where to put his stuff. Use this place (or even better the back of the front door) for all those notes of things that you need to remember to bring -- lunch etc etc. If possible, as soon as your son outgrows his stroller, try to get him to walk AMAP...even if it means that things take a long time to accomplish....you save money on a stroller and space as well.
Set up a desk (maybe just a wall-hung shelf w/ shelves above) along the kitchen wall and maybe turning the corner into the LR...that way you both have places to "do work". As he gets older you may want to get a small gate leg dining table...but for now my guess is he will be happy sitting at a booster seat with a tray strapped to a chair....why waste money on a regular high chair?
Sleeping is a little more complicated since you can't move the wall between the BR and LR, but I would consider dividing the BR space -- or partition some space off in the LR for your son if you need more privacy. My sister had a wall of storage built between the two sleeping spaces in her coop.....there's enough room for a full bed on the window side using the wall/shelves as a headboard and the other side is dresser drawers for my nephew. He has a loft bed with a desk underneath now...but that's something to consider later. The key is giving him a place where you can close a door or curtain and he gets dark and quiet to sleep.
As to sources -- Craigslist has been really good for my sister....and all the usual subjects, IKEA /CB2....and don't rush....a bed for you, a desk and a couple of chairs, a crib, sofa (convertible if you want) and a couple of lamps are really all you need.
Enjoy your adventure!!
I agree with Apartment3F. Your son should get the bedroom for his room because he will need more sleep and naptime privacy, especially if he is with you full time opposed to weekends/holidays. You will not likely have guests/clients/work when you need to sleep, so your sleep space and work space could easily be the living room. I would tuck a small bed into the corner and put dividers (shelf, screen, curtain) around it to define it as your private space. If space allows, maybe even section off the office area as well so you can "go home from work" each day.
I nannied for a single mom and her 2 children that shared a 1 bedroom. The kids shared the bedroom and the mom slept on a single bed in the living room, which was in the corner with a large bookshelf separating it from the "living space".
I guess really, it was 2 bookshelves. One faced her bed so she had some storage there and the other faced the living space and was more of a media cabinet where they kept the tv. It worked out well for her. Best of luck!
I agree with everyone else who said to make the master bedroom his space. Since you're working from home, you need to establish a clutter-free and child-free office area to maintain your productivity. This is especially important if you need to see clients. You also need to give your child a space of his own because you're not going to be able to entertain him for 8 hours a day while you work and he needs stimulation.
I also echo Duane Hill's question. Did you factor your child's living needs prior to signing a lease? I know two bedroom apartments are very expensive in NY, but a one bedroom for two people who really do need separate rooms seems like a less than ideal situation, if you could have chosen any differently. Perhaps a one bedroom with a den instead of just a one bedroom.
I agree with the other comments. I live alone with my son...and have lived in several rentals. I wouldn't mix your office area in with his sleeping space...he should have the bedroom and your office space should be in the living room. You will need the ability work when he is sleeping -- naps & evenings. If you can manage it, your sleeping area should be there too. Though you might find it more comfortable to have a proper bed in his room. Good luck & hope you and your son have a wonderful new home :)
Good luck with you new space, Jane. I definitely think you should give your son the bedroom, as another poster said, and share the space re: storage. For the living area, I cannot see what the dimension of the living room is, but I would get a comfy pull out (lazy boy makes a v. good sleeper, combo air mattress). If you dont already have a table, I would look for one that is rectangular and that has leaves that pull out to make it bigger and place it near the kitchen area. If you have space outside your door, you might use that as your drop area for shoes, scooter, stroller, etc, putting shoes neatly in a basket or carton. And, look around for hidden storage space....spaces to put shelves, hooks, etc.
And, I dont really understand why some of the comments here are questioning why you chose to get a one bedroom apartment for you and your son. The cost of living here is astronomical...a one bedroom can easily go for $3500 a month. And, while many people live in large apartments, many families, at least here do not. They make the most of their space!
How high are your ceilings? If you could build a small sleeping loft for yourself, over the living room or even kitchen, depending on ceiling height, your son would have the bedroom while he is young. Share the bedroom closet, and use inexpensive ikea pieces for toy storage, etc. The living room becomes your work/live space. Good luck! I hope to see your place on small cool by next year!
I agree with Elisabeth33, you don't need a 2 bedroom! I agree that if you van relegate your son's things to the master, and then you will be able to each have your own space. Perhaps a loft bed in the living room for your self with either a sofa or a workspace underneath would save space, and I agree with the commentor that mentioned putting a chair or sofa in your son's room to make it family room esque. Have fun with it. I would love to live in NYC but with three small kids I have not yet found the bravery :)
I disagree with all of the above and suggest you put both beds in the bedroom. It will feel MUCH more like a 2 bedroom if you don't have a bed - regardless of what it looks like - in your living space. Plus, it will be "his room" for all but the 8 hours (ha!) you're sleeping in it at night. If you need separation, put up a curtain using a wire (found at IKEA) running the length of the room.
If toys do not fit in the bedroom (I can't read the dimensions in the image), carve out a small space for his stuff in the corner. Use IKEA Expedit with baskets for toys/books or get a credenza for his toys along with a bookshelf you can both share (your books/paperwork on top, his books on bottom).
Mom, I would just like to tell you that every idiot on here who's asking you whether you were thinking of your kid -- like you're not A MOTHER or something -- deserves a slap in the face. I'm sure you're doing your best in a tough situation, and good luck to you.
I agree with making the bedroom your son's, and also making that his play area/family room, etc. You could do something really interesting with the rest as a more adult studio, maybe with one of those loft beds that has a sofa beneath. If you don't have the ceiling height for that, I think a daybed would be great. (For times when you will want quicker access to your son - i.e., when he's not feeling well, etc. -- maybe a trundle bed in his room? You could rest in there with him when needed, be in your own space most of the time and not take up undue space in his room.)
@ALMONDJOY, who are you calling an idiot? A slap in the face? Seriously?
Reread my comment and you'll see it wasn't her son she wasn't thinking about, it was the apartment that she hadn't considered. Maybe if you got your anger under control you'd be able to comprehend an innocent comment better.
One word: IKEA
Duane, I read your comment as a little snarky too. For whatever reason, this is the apartment she has - she didn't ask us what we thought of her planning/parenting decisions. That said, I'm not going to slap you....
When our twins came along, we got rid of the coffee table and replaced it with an ottoman. With stain/crayon/vomit resistant fabric. Good luck!
Hi Jane,
As a son who had a similar share situation with his mother (albeit as a High Schooler), I'll throw in my two cents:
Make sure that if you choose to have a full or queen bed in the living room, you get some large pillows or a foam backer to make the bed feel like a day bed. My mother never did this and it always felt like there was just a giant bed in the living room. Economy foam on the Lower East Side can cut you big foam pieces and you can have the folks at Stanton Tailor Shop make you oversize pillow cases on the cheap. I would suggest placing the bed vertically against the top wall, so that your feet point towards the bedroom door.
As for "giving" your son the bedroom, I agree with posters who suggested that you carve out space of your own in the bedroom. In fact, I would think of it as his bedroom / your closet. Use the closet and put in a cheap storage unit or bookcases to hold various baskets and boxes with sundry items that you can hide from view. A two year old needs space, but I don't know that you need to sacrifice the entire bedroom for his use alone.
Lastly, regarding the office space-- I think you may need to make sacrifices. I'm not sure what kind of work you do, but you may want to look into a desk that folds away. I know that many years ago, we had a storage unit made by Knossos Furniture that had cabinet storage and a fold down desk with a cubby behind it so that you didn't have to always more your belongings. Something like that might fit well along the LR wall where the bedroom door is located.
Good luck!
@AlmondJoy - Last I checked (and this is not a reflection on the question asker at all) being a mother isn't actually the same thing as mothering. I was also considering Duane Hill's comment as a question about the apartment itself, not on the person. Rarely do people buy or rent a home without considering how they'll actually live in it - to me, Duane Hill's comment was simply asking the question asker, "what were your ideas?"
@ARKAY, I apologize if my question came off a snarky. I intended it to be a sincere question and I'll rephrase it: "does she have any ideas of how she wanted to live in the space to give us an idea of how she could approach that plan." Coming here with no indication of how she wanted to live is what struck me as "odd."
Deep breath, AT posters!
Regarding the question and not the comments...Make the bedroom his. Of course, you'd have to share the closet, but you'll thank yourself later when you have a place to hide toys for company and the like. I'm not sure if you can fit a true bed as well as living room furniture and still maintain awesome style. If you can manage it, go for it. Personally, I'd choose a MCM daybed. so it actually looks closer to a couch than a daybed. And you can use the area under it to store you linens when company comes.
We share a one bedroom with two kids in Brooklyn. We left the bedroom to the kids, and we sleep in the living room. We have a sofa bed, so it can be easily tucked away in the mornings and when we have company over. It's pretty comfortable and we have maximized our use of space.
Given that, I agree with everyone that's said to leave him the bedroom and you take over the LR. I'd put a sofa bed so you have more space. You can share closet space and put your dresser in his bedroom. Relegate him to the bedroom for playtime, since you work from home, but you can keep some quiet time toys/books in a basket in the LR for the times he can play quietly beside you while you work, if you're so inclined. I work from home on occasion, and this is what I do with the kids too.
If I misread, then I apologize. I do think anyone who'd make sweeping assumptions about a mom's parenting based on a decor question would deserve a step back. But if that's not what's going on, then obviously I wasn't speaking to you. I have gotten so aggravated by the constant poster-sniping on AP that I have inadvertently fallen into the trap of creating negativity myself.
I know lots of people who grew up in situations like this; usually, they got the bedroom and the mom slept and worked in the living room. It's probably not most people's ideal set-up, but it worked well for them and, in general, they have really good relationships with their moms!
In terms of child-proofing your personal stuff, I'd suggest keeping your tech and work materials as streamlined and out-of-the-way as possible; depending on your work needs, a laptop that can tuck away into a closed secretary or even a desk drawer with concealed cords and a printer on a high shelf can save you a lot of trouble with a curious two-year-old. Have a clearly defined space that's your work area, and make sure your son understands it's a no-fly zone; don't store any of his stuff in that area, so there's no reason for him to get into your things.
I agree with the posters who suggest giving him his own space--not just for his sake (especially as he gets older), but for yours as well, since you'll probably appreciate the chance to shut the door and have your own personal zone once in a while. Depending on how long you're planning to live in this apartment, remember that very soon, he'll want to hang out with friends, do homework, or just veg out in his own space--the more you can carve out even a little breathing room for one another, the happier I suspect everyone will be.
Good luck with it!
Interesting... I am only 25 with no kids so I have no perspective on this. I really like the comments, though... I have always wondered about parenting in a 1 br apt. My only comment is that the UWS is great for kids and good luck!
I actually did this about 5 years ago.
My daughter is my priority and inspiration. I wanted her to have her own space so she has the bedroom. I was trying to make this a positive experience for her and she came with me to IKEA to pick out dishes and basic needs (I was starting out again with nothing for furnishings).
I set myself up in the living room with a bed (originally I had planned for a sofebed/futon but decided to go with a double bed), a chest of drawers that currently doubles as a TV stand and a small sofa in the "dining" area of the suite.
Since then there have been some changes. The sofa is gone and will soon be replaced by a couple of chairs since it is really more of a living/office/studio space.
I have a lot of plans for the space. Specifically, adding more efficient storage in the closets, getting rid of the kitchen island in favour of a small dining table for the two of us, and doing some gardening on the balcony. Maybe someday it will be picture worthy.
All the best with your plans.
I'd share the bedroom with the kid - a junior bed for him, a single for you, a dresser for his clothes, and your stuff in the closet. He's 2, and he's not going to want to hang out in his own room all alone for the next couple of years. (You can always rethink the layout when he's 5).
Split the living room into zones - play, work, eat, relax. Furniture-wise that means a desk, a sofa, and a dining table. Kids play on the floor so make sure there's room for that; skip the coffee table. Toys are going to end up all over the floor so go for a storage solution with lots of boxes so you can quickly scoop it all up at night. Oh, and use the walls as much as you can.
Wow! Who would have thought that a question about where to find kid-friendly furniture in NYC that won't break the bank would create such a lively debate. Since I live in Canada,I dont have any good local suggestions. IKEA and double-duty furnishings as other people have already mentioned seem spot on to me. Storage is key to keep the clutter at bay and your sanity. As for your sleeping arrangements, I would recommend that you both sleep on mattresses on the floor before you commit to bedroom furnishings. See what fits or suits you and you child first. Consider a murpht bed if you plan to sleep in the livingroom. Get to know the area and places to find not-so expensive furniture. See what you find on Craig's List. As someone from very modest beginnings and a mother of 2 who occasionally co-sleeps with one child, sharing a 1-bedroom apartment with a small child doesn't strike me as odd or a misplaced parenting decision. I think it's wonderful that you are able to work from home and be with your toddler. They do grow up so fast. A child doesn't need a wide expanse of space to be happy. Just a whole lot of love. Good luck.
I agree with everyone that said you give your son the bedroom and keep the living room for yourself. I would suggest a murphy bed instead of a day bed - more room and it can completely disappear when not in use.
Once upon a time, a long time ago... I was a single mom with a two year old son. I would go for playful and functional for the next year or two rather than an "adult" condo. Keep it simple. With very young children you end up hanging out on the floor level with them anyway so capitalize on that and skip conventional furniture for now. Put a colorful area rug in the living room in front of the window and buy at least three poufs - those big bean bag pillow types (try ultimate sack.com.) Make sure one is extra large four or five foot diameter with soft furry fleece covering that is big enough for both of you to snuggle, read, have sick days and for you to collapse on after he is in bed. The others can be smaller. For two to four year old children several poufs become an indoor jungle gym to roll on, climb over, and expend energy safely. Adult guests will like the novelty. For you they are light enough to scoot to one side of the room, leaving the center rug open for yoga or building towers with blocks. Lots of flexibility. In the top right corner of your floor plan place a round 36 inch diameter pedestal dining table/desk. Splurge on one (or two) very comfortable high backed office chair on castors to serve as both dining chair, your desk chair, and when wheeled around can mix in with the poufs as adult seating in the living room if needed. On the entire wall of the living room wall (with the bedroom door) place a mix of open shelves with bins for toys, media cabinet with doors that keep TV from little fingers, any storage needs you have for your work at home, enough storage to both avoid clutter and keep things out of reach of a toddler so you and your son can relax and enjoy your new space. This storage could be six feet high. Add some art, books, or plants that feed your soul.
In the bedroom you could begin very simply with the bed and crib you already have. One space saving bed arrangement might work and give both of you a little privacy, but would require a little DIY. Center your bed on the wall at the bottom of your floor plan. Or off center your bed a foot toward the window if space feels tight to give sufficient access to your closet. Place a "bunk bed" at the foot of your bed, lengthwise. Using the long side of the frame of the bunk bed create a solid divider between the beds by attaching some type of plywood or solid material to the frame of the bunk bed. You will be looking at the divider when in bed so either paint or wallpaper the divider. Or even create a photo collage on it. Why a bunk bed? Using the frame of the bunk bed will allow you to build a "wall" without doing anything structural to your rental condo. Additionally, it creates vertical space to use. Place your son's single mattress at floor level where he can get in and out on his own. Four feet off the floor use the "upper bunk" as a carpeted play platform without a mattress, creating additional play space while climbing will develop coordination and balance since you do not have a yard to play in. The ladder should be built into the end of the bunk frame, skip the type of ladder that sticks out and trips you. At the other end of the bunk hang those shoe storage type pockets and let your son place small stuffed animals or toys in them. If you need more closet or dresser storage, place on either side of your bed at the head of the bed along the wall. That type of storage would create an alcove feeling to nestle your pillows in, with art on the wall above your bed. On the door wall, which is now opposite your son's bed, you might still have room for more shelves (the exact room dimensions were hard to read) or place a chalk board at your son's height and let him draw. Or a few hooks with dress up clothes for imaginative play. Or even lots of hooks for clothes, purses, an artful arrangement of functional stuff.
No doubt you will love your new home, and it will love you right back.
We're poor and I grew up never having my own bedroom. My parents chose expensive location over my privacy. I found sliding-scale counseling, and have been going once weekly.
Hi, we live in a 700sqft one bedroom apartment in Manhattan and when our son was 6 months we had a wall put up divinding the living/dining room. This is the thing, our livingroom has 3 5ft wide windows, so we took one for his bedroom with a perpendicular wall. His room is now 5' x 15' and our living/dinning room is 10'x15'.
It works perfectly well for the 3 of us, he has enough room to play and hang out.
You could do that in your space, no worries about the ac and heat unit, our place has a similar situation. I could send pictures of the end result.
Hi Jane,
I like the lay-out of your apartment. It has fit the kitchen and the laundry area there without sacrificing too much space.
I think sharing this apartment with your 2 y/o son won't really be a total stress. You just need the most efficient lay-out of furnishings that would, of course, depend on how you like things go around your house.
If you really want to keep the bedroom tidy and free of clutter, I suggest you place your office table and other stuffs in an alloted corner in the living room. That way, you won't feel any stress when you enter the bedroom. Another thing is, even if you are busy at work or doing home management stuffs, you will still be able to watch your son closely.
If you are in need of new modern but child-friendly furniture for this apartment, you can take a look at our site - http://www.instylemodern.com/. The site contains almost everything you need in a modern house. This will save time for you as well in going to and from malls and you can even do this between work or home management tasks.
sleeping in the kitchen is illegal in nyc, loft or no loft, but the main room is separated enough that sleeping in the main room is ok. sharing the b/r works until kid is old enough for school, then housing guidelines require delineated space, each w/ window & of min size, b/c you are not same gender, or start separately to create stability. a murphy bed gets screwed into the floor, may not work for rental, but a platform where a bed slides from underneath (like a trundle w/a play or work area on top) might. the adages of neutral colours, tough fabrics, multi-function pieces & taking advantage of vertical space apply here. cruise the small. cool contest in a/t for ideas (keep in mind that not all the a/t spaces are to code). consider shelf units as dividers, hanging bike(s) as art, grouping uses together,
Oh my GOD, I love this comment!!!! I came here looking for a solution to a similar situation and ended up finding this gem. Bravo, Sir/Madame, BRAVO!!!
I once lived next to a family of four from Japan (mom, dad, 2 pre-teen daughters) who were living in NYC while Dad was on assignment for a couple of years. Their apartment, a studio, was approx 375 square feet. They didn't appear to feel put upon. Dad was out of the house for long hours at work (I hear this is common with successful Japanese execs) and daughters were lively and fun-loving and immaculately groomed. I am sure Jane and her 2-year-old will do just fine.
That said, I would encourage Jane to consider the importance of lighting -- differentiating between "task-time" lighting and "relax-time" lighting helps to zone your day when you are living and working in the same place. This need not be pricey.

Music brings everyone together. But there are times when we feel that the music we're listening to is old and boring, like we've been there and done that. We want new music, new adventures, new perspective. So we set out to explore a vast expanse of new artists, songs, and genres. It can be overwhelming. Here's how to be organized and find the best of the best.
1. Read: Spinner, Rolling Stone, and most other small publications offer music reviews. These can help you broaden your horizons and get a better sense of what is hot at the moment.
2. Internet: Sites like MySpace still cater to the musical crowd, but if you want to become familiar with artists who you may like immediately, without doing the research, sites like Pandora and Last.fm play music similar to the artist who you identify. iLike also works well because it works in tandem with...
3. iTunes: Downloading the latest version of iTunes will help to refamiliarize you with old music that you might have forgotten. Newer software is smarter, faster, and more reliable. To increase the likelihood that you hear songs you like when you put it on shuffle, rate the songs, or comment on the artists.
4. Car: When you're listening to mobile audio, you get a good sense of what sounds good coming from your car audio subwoofers. It doesn't just depend on how hard your car audio amplifiers are working, it also matters how many heads you turn as you cruise down the street. Plus, when you're listening to music in your car audio, you are taking advantage of the perfect music listening opportunity.

FILE- In this Nov. 20, 2003 file photo, workers pose in front of the Space Shuttle Enterprise prior to moving it into the new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles Airport in Chantilly, Va. Enterprise is scheduled to arrive in New York on the back of a NASA jumbo jet on Friday, April 27, 2012, where it will be stored in an hangar at John F. Kennedy International Airport before assuming its new permanent location on the deck of the Intrepid Air and Space Museum in New York Harbor. (AP Photo/Lisa Nipp, File)
NEW YORK (AP) — Look! Up in the sky! It's a ... space shuttle?
An unusual flying object is scheduled to arrive in the city's airspace Friday — the space shuttle Enterprise.
Enterprise is expected to get to the city riding on top of a modified jumbo jet. Its trip was to include low-altitude flyovers over parts of the city and landmarks including the Statue of Liberty and the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum on Manhattan's west side.
The shuttle had been scheduled to arrive earlier in the week but NASA pushed it back because of bad weather.
The shuttle prototype was housed at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington but will soon be making its home at the Intrepid, where it will be "the largest and most significant space artifact in the entire Northeast," said Susan Marenoff-Zausner, Intrepid's president.
That won't happen right away; after its fly-around, the Enterprise is heading to Kennedy Airport, where it will remain for a few weeks until it's taken off the 747 jet it rode to New York.
After that, Marenoff-Zausner said, it will be put on a barge in early June and brought up the Hudson River to the Intrepid, where it will be put on the flight deck and a pavilion over it will be completed. The museum anticipates opening the shuttle exhibit to the public in mid-July.
"When somebody comes to visit, they will not only see the shuttle itself, but will have an engaging and interactive experience inside the pavilion," she said.
Enterprise comes to New York as part of NASA's process of wrapping up the shuttle program, which ended last summer. At the Smithsonian, its place has been taken by the shuttle Discovery. Shuttle Endeavor is going to Los Angeles and shuttle Atlantis is staying at Florida's Kennedy Space Center.
Enterprise has never been used in an actual space mission, but was a full-scale test vehicle used for flights in the atmosphere and experiments on the ground.
That doesn't make Intrepid any less excited about having it, Marenoff-Zausner said.
"This is an institution in American history," she said, adding, "This tested so many different things that without it, travel into space would never have happened."
She is confident the public will feel the same way and anticipates interest in the shuttle will increase the number of annual visitors by about 30 percent, to 1.3 million over the course of a year.
The public's interest is what drove the Intrepid to find a way to display it even though a permanent display location still has to be found, Marenoff-Zausner said.
The initial plan was to leave it at the airport for a couple of years until its permanent home was set, she said, but "we want the public to be able to experience this immediately."
In order to do that, Intrepid had to do some shuffling around of its collection. Last week, three aircraft were taken off the flight deck and sent to the Empire State Aerosciences Museum in Glenville, N.Y.

Five resume updates to make now
Nix the objective statement
"The hiring manager already knows that your objective is to get a job, so don't waste space stating the obvious," says Rosetta Thurman, president, Thurman Consulting, a leadership training firm. Instead, lead with a summary of qualifications or "five specific things that you have achieved that are relevant to the results you would produce if hired," says Las Vegas-based career coach Alexia Vernon.
Video: 10 bizarre jobs from history
Forget 'references available upon request'
That's because it's inferred, says Vernon.
Focus on accomplishments not duties
"The hiring manager wants to know what you actually did," says Thurman. Make sure you include specific benchmarks, such as surpassing sales goals, winning awards or recognition for specific projects. And use action words. For example, "switch your bullet points from 'was responsible for marketing and business development' to 'developed a new marketing plan that helped increase the number of new client accounts from five to seven per month," says Thurman.

Add your social media info
Today, your Twitter handle and website address are just as important as your phone number. But it's important that the profiles that you keep on those sites, as well as on LinkedIn, match the information on your resume. "When a prospective employer sees two different versions of you, even if it's simply because you forgot to update one and not the other, it sends up a red flag that you aren't trustworthy," says Vernon.
Bing: What to put on your resume
Be sensible with unrelated experience
"Many young professionals make the mistake of simply listing everything they ever did in their previous positions, all the way down to making copies as an intern and mopping the floors as a restaurant worker in college," says Thurman. "Take comfort in the fact that it's not necessarily about how many years of experience you've had, but what you've done in your previous position that you can apply to the new role you're applying for."

Help me find lost cookbook, please.
- Quine Jan 20, 2008 06:12 PM
Back in the 80's I had one of those "sunset" type cookbooks that was all about Japanese cooking. While I had literally hundreds of cookbooks on my bookshelves, I liked the recipes from this one. Unfortunately, in a move, the new place burnt down and I lost all. And while many books I miss, this one I really miss! And I can't even find a reference to it!
WHat I am mostly looking for, is a recipe in it that made eggrolls. Thin egg omlettes, rolled and filled; just like "NYC eggrolls" dipped in a cornstarch (as I recall batter)that made the most heavenly dish! I have other recipes I want to have again from this book...Anyone know of it????
So sorry for your loss.. But thanks for the entertainment as I went to my bookshelf to see if I had it (and looked through some of these books... no wonder our Mom's hate to cook!)
Have you tryed looking at the library? I went to a library for the first time in decades, and they have lots of cookbooks.
Any idea if this is the book: Sunset Oriental Cook Book (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)?
A month or so ago, I posted on here a similar question for a neighbor who was missing a soup cookbook that was loaned out to someone, and never returned. My friend thought the name of the book was 'Soup's On', and that there were 2 women who wrote the book. I had a bunch of responses, which gave me information on some sites to find old cookbooks. Sure enough, I was able to find the right cookbook. I found a used copy, and it was delivered to NJ for less than $5! My friend is thrilled to have her favorite cookbook.
In fact, this weekend I ordered a used copy of The Frog-Commisary cookbook that I misplaced a few years ago. The total cost was $4.54, including shipping. What a great find. Here is a link to the site, and they do appear to have a Sunset book on 'Oriental Cooking'. Don't know if it is the same one; maybe you could email with some questions.
re: mschow
Thanks to you both, but, no it was not the Oriental Cooking one. I still have that one.
re: Quine
As a great collector of cookbooks, one my favorite places to find cookbooks EBAY, also they have used books on Amazon as well. Sometimes it takes me a while to find the book I want, but just a few weeks ago, I found a cookbook, that was a favorite of my mother's and her copy from 1967 was being held together by rubberbands, I got her a really good used copy on ebay and I am very pleased
re: Quine
there's a separate chinese cookbook. maybe it's in that one...
Here is a link to an e-bay search on Sunset Cookbooks. Don't know if the one you are looking for is here.
There are other old cookbook sites - oldcookbooks.com, vintagecookbook.com....and I think there's another one that I've used several times (located an old pasta book, and the
old Farm Journal cookbooks - and will probably go looking for another called The Haphazard Gourmet sometime soon) - I think the old cook book sites might be faster/easier than ebay, but you could get lucky there, too.
re: Alice Letseat
There is also an excellent general used book search engine at http://www.bookfinder.com/
Is this part of the recipe?
".....Egg wrappers. Whirl 7 eggs, 1 tablespoon each water and salad oil or sesame
oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon white pepper, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch
in a blender until smooth. You should have about 1 3/4 cups.
Heat a 12-inch frying pan over medium heat; add 1/2 teaspoon butter or
margarine and swirl to coat pan bottom. Pour in 1/4 cup egg mixture and tilt
pan to coat bottom evenly. Let cook until top is dry but bottom has not
quite started to brown (about 20 seconds). Remove from pan. Repeat, using
1/2 teaspoon butter and 1/4 cup batter for each wrapper; you should have
7round wrappers. Cut each wrapper in quarters to make 4 wedges each. If
made ahead, cover and refrigerate....."
I found this website www.bookshoparoundthecorner.co.uk - they have a book finding facility and found a book that I'd lost hope I'd find again.
Another really good source for old, antiquarian, and out-of-print books is http://www.abebooks.com It's a consortium of several thousand independent booksellers, so even if no one is listing the book you're looking for right now, someone may well have heard of it, sold it in the past, etc.
I don't have an exact location, but thought you might try this. I had the great fortune of attending the Sunset Books festival one year and during the tour we had an opportunity to purchase any of the books that were published. The prices were great and I think I bought several for 2 or 3 dollars.
The festival is coming up and anyone that may be in the area should definately try to attend. It is a beautiful place and to tour the test kitchens and the beautiful gardens is truly a wonderful day. The following link will explain further and also may be helpful if you wanted to contact them directly regarding the particular book you're looking for.
re: othervoice
Unfortunately, the evil Time Warner business unit that runs the Sunset label discontinued ALL Sunset cookbooks in 2005. The last Recipe Annual book is for the year 2004. IIRC you can download the magazine indexes from their website.
The used book sources listed above (Amazon, abebooks, alibris) are the best way to find them.
Here's a good site for local book sales: http://www.book-sales-in-america.com/
I have about 50 of the thin Sunset cookbooks but no Japanese :-(.
EDIT - the recipe for Szechwan Fish Rolls on page 56 of the Chinese Cookbook sounds like what Quine was looking for.
Quine - if you email me (see profile) I can get the recipe to you. BTW I'm impressed that someone in NJ knows about Sunset.
re: DiveFan
Their books have been widely distributed - I knew of the books for over 20 years before I heard of the magazine!

Four reasons for 2012 to be the last year for Universal's Terminator 2: 3D
Written by Robert Niles
We've known for some time now that Terminator 2: 3D's days are numbered at Universal Studios Hollywood (and perhaps in Florida, as well). So after we rode Transformers: The Ride 3D last weekend, I took my film-geek son, Brian, up to T2 so he could experience the attraction at least once before it goes away.Tweet
There's no official word on when T2 might close, but after seeing this show again for the first time in years, I'm convinced that the sooner it closes, the better. T2's time is past, and its presence in the park at this point actually has become a liability. Universal can't get going with installing a replacement quickly enough.
Here's why T2's become a liability for the park:
Californians hate Arnold Schwarzenegger now
Forget Jack Dawson. In 1990s Hollywood, Schwarzenegger was the King of the World. But that was before Schwarzenegger trashed his reputation among Californians by serving seven dysfunctional years as governor, leaving office as the most unpopular governor in California history.
Sure, it's The Terminator up there on screen, but the people hissing when he appeared in T2: 3D were booing the man who played him. Californians don't want to be reminded of the Schwarzenegger administration.
It's embarrassing to watch Cyberdyne Systems' vision of the future that's already here, or past
Any attraction that portrays the near future, as T2: 3D did when it opened in 1996, runs the risk of becoming laughably outdated if it's not refreshed within a few years of opening. T2 hasn't been, and now some of its pre-show "predictions of the future" are unintentionally, and embarrassingly, hilarious.
Video chat? Tablet computers? A grandmother will have 5,000 channels of television, and if she can't decide what to watch, the TV will decide for her?
We're not laughing with you, T2: 3D. We're laughing at you. Worse, though, are the kids who aren't laughing at all. They can't understand why we're supposed to care about the lame versions of iPads and TiVos that Cyberdyne is showing us during the pre-show. Apathy is death for a theme park attraction.
The 3D projection looks terrible next to Transformers and Kong
At one point during the show, I took off my 3D glasses and asked Brian, "Are you seeing this in 3D?" He chuckled, shook his head and replied, "No, it's all out of synch."
At very few times did the images on screen "pop" out into space as they should in a 3D film. Instead, as is too often the case with years-old 3D projections, I saw plenty of double or ghost images in 2D instead. T2 is worse now than Disneyland's Captain EO for inferior projection. Next to the sharp, stunning, world-class 3D imagery of King Kong and Transformers, T2's 3D seems especially inferior.
The story setting still doesn't work
T2's always had great in-theater effects, and USH's performers typically give great performances. But it's always bothered me that we start the presentation inside a Cyberdyne auditorium, then somehow end up outside the theater - in the future - around and inside the SkyNet headquarters. Okay, so I guess the entire theater-full of people were transported along with John Connor and The Terminator when they busted out of Cyberdyne - and no one in the future battle ever sees us there.
But even if we accept that, a big narrative setting problem remains. When Connor goes through the portal to return to the present time, we don't go with him. We stay behind to watch The Terminator battle the T-1,000,000. When SkyNet's destroyed, the portal goes with it. How do we survive and get back, when the Terminator doesn't? Heck, he's a lot stronger and more durable than we are.
The great in-theater effects, performances and (at the time awesome) 3D easily overcame these weaknesses back in the 1990s. But this is far from Universal Creative's best work today. Here's hoping Universal pulls the plug quickly and greenlights a better attraction for its fans and guests in Southern California.
So what could that be?
The hot rumor of the moment is Universal will duplicate Orlando's upcoming Despicable Me show for the T2 theater in Hollywood. But it's fun to imagine another couple possibilities as well.
What if Universal moved Shrek 4D over to the T2 theater, then rebuilt its exterior to become a Singapore-like Far, Far Away castle? That'd allow Universal to raze the existing Shrek theater to clear space for an expanded Hogsmeade for its version of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Shrek would fit better thematically in front of the European facades near the current T2 theater anyway.
What if we wanted a fresh attraction in the space, rather than a relocation or Orlando import? How about a new 4D show featuring Dr. Seuss characters and stories? Universal Studios Hollywood lacks anything from the Seuss Landing land in Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure. A new Seuss 4D show would add a welcomed family-focused attraction in the park, and if Universal threw in a Caro-Seuss-El on the site of the Coke Soak, that'd be a solid mini-land for the park. (Coke Soak could go to the site of the old Stunt Show theater if there's an ongoing contractual obligation to maintain it.)
What do you think about T2: 3D and its future, both in Hollywood and Orlando? The comments await your thoughts.
Readers' Opinions
From Dan McNeely on April 26, 2012 at 3:30 PM
I vote for turning it into the Gringott's coaster and make the area surrounding it Diagon Alley.
Or doing a Combo Shrek setup. 4D show + Donkeys Crazy Carriage ride. (Similar to a Crushes Coaster but instead of a Turtle Shell/Under water highway; you'd be on a run away carriage that spins around as you traverse through the Shrek universe)
From Jorge Arnoldson on April 26, 2012 at 3:37 PM
I say only keep it in Orlando, yet update the computer animation, the projection system (either RealD or Dolby), and the preshow (obviously, they've predicted the iPad and video chat). As for Hollywood, the Seuss idea sounds good, or make a different 4D movie for the theater.
From Anon Mouse on April 26, 2012 at 3:52 PM
3D Theatrical movies should be considered outdated as theme park attractions. They are no longer novelty attractions that can stand a 10 minute presentation. I'm in favor is dumping Terminator for a family dark ride, which Universal seems to lack. Universal needs more family attractions.
I felt Schwarzenegger's performance as Governor has hampered by the Legislators. In other words, if Californians wanted him to succeed, why do we keep electing the same dysfunctional legislators that are in the pocket of the Unions? We get what we deserve. Nonetheless, his pardon of the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez was the worse thing he did to cement his cronyism image.
I'm a big fan of the Terminator franchise so I'm disappointed that they didn't keep the attraction in good shape. It was the best 3D presentation at its debut and it blew Disney away. Disney never had an answer and still doesn't.
As for the show's continuity, I never had a problem with it. The problem is expecting every 3D attraction to be exactly the same in presentation.
From 126.96.36.199 on April 26, 2012 at 3:52 PM
I havnt seen it yet. I had the oppurtunity to pick Terminator or Jurassic Park in Orlando because a storm was coming so I picked Jurassic Park. I never have ridin any of those rides before so that seemed like a good choice. I really want to see the show anyway. Maybe they will leave it in Orlando for a few more years and then rip it out and build a House of Horrors? But I really want to see this ride.
From Skipper Adam on April 26, 2012 at 3:54 PM
Finally, all the things I hated about the show are pointed out. The voting on best 3D/ 4D shows was happening, people defended this show as still cutting edge and cool. I never liked it when I first saw it 10 years ago. I study plots and storylines all day, and this show just made so little sense and the mixed effects were always mediocre.
That being said, I think Shrek 4D is even worse, so lets not keep that one either. Dr. Suess makes some sense, but I don't imagine it being as ambitious as T2 3D was.
From Eric Malone on April 26, 2012 at 3:55 PM
I'm all for T2:3D getting the boot down here in Orlando. I can't imagine what'd go into the show building there with such a small footprint, but if it's better than Terminator I can't complain.
From 126.96.36.199 on April 26, 2012 at 3:55 PM
With T2 being the most unique 3D show you can find anywhere (Even moreso than Disney), I'll be sad to see it go.I will agree though that it is laughably outdated and does need a replacement. Things change.
I wouldn't mind seeing Despicable Me replace it as the park could use a nice family ride.
From Jay R. on April 26, 2012 at 3:58 PM
I actually went to T2:3D after riding Thransformers last week and felt the same way. The fact that USH has other 3D attractions make this stand out even more, obviously not in a good way. I'm a fan of the terminator series, but the attraction feels so dated, (the pre show video itself has a Murder She Wrote reference, old style desktop computers......1 of the people in the asked who the basketball player was.....)
The live performers do a great job, but I agree it's time for something else.
I'd actually lean toward not having another "3d show" type of attraction. I'd take the T2 space (and Coke Soak) & come up with something different. With the Studio Tour, Shrek 4D, Waterworld, Animal Show, Blue's Brothers, I think the park has enough "audience viewer" type of attractions for it's size.
I think the T2 space could be used for a dark ride of some kind.
From 188.8.131.52 on April 26, 2012 at 3:58 PM
How about making a hunger games themed ride where they show you in the preshow that you are about to enter the arena and see the tributers do stuuf or whatever. Just think of something good. Or how about... moving waterworld here and build harry potter there. Or build us a new amazing ride. But keep the one in Orlando running but update the 3-d to spiderman good and preshow
From parker reave on April 26, 2012 at 4:57 PM
I fear the future of USH is more and more 3D attractions. People really seem to like them and they are far cheaper to operate than more conventional "rides".
I would love to see a "dark ride" in that building - even expanding into Coke Soak - but I doubt we'll ever see something like that.
My personal preference would be a live stunt show over there - outside with the valley and mountains as the background.
From Daniel Etcheberry on April 26, 2012 at 5:11 PM
I always liked T2. Even the last time I saw it I enjoyed it. I have not experienced Kong 360 or Transformers yet (but I will this summer)so maybe then I will find T2's 3D outdated.
Unfortunately the advancement in 3D technology at the Imax has killed the 3D wow factor at the theme parks.
From BehindTheTheme Disney-Universal on April 26, 2012 at 5:23 PM
Ive been saying for years that T2-3D in Hollywood hasn't functioned to 100% in years. For a couple years one of the robots in the auditorium was broken(funny story while i was in a VIP show after a child asked the host what happen to the 4th robot where the host replied he's on vacation).
Projections are blurry and until about a year the screen had a horrible wrinkle that worsened the image. Smoke effects are never working properly so u can see the screen move up & down. Pre show is horribly out dated. As for whats to go here I think with the success of the Lorax a dark ride featuring suess characters would attract the young crowd.
Shrek will most likely be sacrificed for Harry Potter which is great as shreks tech and seats are out dated with D Box moving forward, back, left, right, up, down, around and shake. Why haven't these d box seats been used in more theme parks(D box made TRON a good movie as i wanted to walk out but stayed for the effects).
From 184.108.40.206 on April 26, 2012 at 6:09 PM
I agree. My family and I have discussed and we feel its time for terminator to be terminated. Would love to see Universal Orlando replace it with transformers 3D!!!!
From Ben Horner on April 26, 2012 at 6:44 PM
It's a shame that Terminator 2: 3D has ended up like this. It used to be one of my favourite attractions but I have to admit that it just doesn't stand up against today's experiences. However, I do have a soft spot for the out of date vision of the future; it's almost ironic. But that said maybe T2's time has past.
I would like to see it stay in some form in much the same way as you can still ride the original Star Tours (in Paris, I believe. Do correct me if I'm wrong). I guess I love nostalgia and for a memorable attraction to cease existing seems a shame. In Margate there were plans (there still are presumably) to create a park filled with original and old theme park rides which I think is a wonderful idea; it is history after all.
Also reiterating what BehindTheTheme Disney-Universal said, plot wise Tron: Legacy wasn't a great movie. But that said I would be surprised if Disney don't adapt that in some way (more that ElecTRONica, I mean). Considering how much of a flop John Carter was, a Tron sequel seems inevitable considering how much it made and that it is essentially a fledgling franchise as most people who saw it probably hadn't seen the original. Disney aren't going to want to take many (if any) risks following Mars Needs Moms and John Carter so I would expect more Tron, Pirates and animated classics.Plus Tron's unique visual style would be perfect for Disney to innovate and to attract older visitors without using Marvel too much.
From Jay R. on April 26, 2012 at 6:51 PM
I've always thought Disney & Universal should have a walkthrough exhibit highlighting intem or so from former attractiions.
It' could be like a timeline or history of the park. USH could have an ET bike, something from BTTF, etc.
Even Disney could have something on mainstreet, yesteryear type space that contained either mini replicas or an actual part of the ride.
From Manny Barron on April 26, 2012 at 8:57 PM
Terminator 2:3-D, the Globe theater, House of Horrors, the old Wild,Wild,Wild West stadium, Coke Soak, the courtyard, and the building next to Animal Actors can make way for Wizarding World of Harry Potter with Forbidden Journey and Gringotts coaster.
WaterWorld will be saved.
From Tony Duda on April 26, 2012 at 10:21 PM
I saw the Orlando version recently and it was working perfectly, all the robot killers worked, all the special FX worked, and the 3D movie was clear and crisp. Some parts of the story are outdated but we're dealing with an alternate time-line so, big deal.
I didn't know the Hollywood version was such a crumbling mess and, if so, should be replaced. Leave the Orlando version alone.
From 18.104.22.168 on April 26, 2012 at 10:39 PM
Lol I liked the Titanic reference! :p
From AJ Hummel on April 26, 2012 at 11:38 PM
I'll be sad if Terminator leaves, as it is really a somewhat unique show. It isn't just a 3D movie, but is a hybrid of a movie and a live show. However, I do agree that the show is getting old and as long as the replacement is good I'd be okay with it leaving.
As for the replacement, I really don't want anything similar to what the park already has. No 3D/4D movie (at least as long as Shrek 4-D is around), which I believe is what Despicable Me is; in fact, the park has enough shows. They really need a ride. However, not another motion simulator since the park already has Simpsons and Transformers. I really hope that the replacement would be either something from another Universal park that isn't similar to a ride already present at USH or a completely unique ride (provided it is not a Harry Potter attraction).
Whatever happens, I just really hope Waterworld doesn't get the ax. It may be old, but I don't think there is a better stunt show anywhere and it still plays to capacity crowds.

I agree Tony, the Orlando version is fine. The 3D works perfectly and the ride is still packed (at least when we are there). We had front row center which was pretty cool.
I could care less what happens at Universal Hollywood, but I would hate to see the one in Orlando go away.
From Ricardo K on April 27, 2012 at 5:51 AM
The first time I saw it, in '96, it was awesome!!! The last time I saw it, probably '01-'02, I really didn't care for it anymore... It is probably time to replace it with something else... or perhaps freshen it up (if there is any way one can do that?!?)... Maybe use the existing infrastructure with a different movie??
From Dominick D on April 27, 2012 at 7:17 AM
I could care less about T2-3D, as one time is enough. The effects were working fine when I saw it, so it's probably USH's film. I'd love to see the Bourne franchise replace this at USF.
From Mark Fairleigh on April 27, 2012 at 7:36 AM
As much as T2 has been a part of my overall Universal experience over the years, I won't be as heartbroken over it's demise as say Jaws or King Kong. It's gotten long in the tooth over the years and just doesn't feel amazing anymore. The effects are still somewhat effective, but when the most thrilling part is the fog effect at the end, probably time to call it a day.
From guillermo diaz on April 27, 2012 at 8:58 AM
come on, are we really talking about taking out one of the best films of a decade for shrek or transformers? (im a huge transformers fan and i would love it to come to orlando, but not at the expense of terminator).
I agree the attration is past its prime, i would keep the theme just make a new ride based on it, we already lost jaws and back to the future for freaking harry potter man and the simpsons (im sort of ok with that one, i like the simpsons).
Universal used to be my favorite park, but i saw it as a park for movie lovers, it was supposed to keep the expierence of good movies not just good rides. Now we have the momy (horrible movies, great ride), and harry (dont get me started). Please conserve the themes and add new ones, dont take away one for another one.
As an example look at the great job Disney did with Star wars, and that is why even if i like universal more i have to say that disney has a better strategy, you can enjoy the classics and the new movies.
From Skipper Adam on April 27, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Are we saying we could care less or could not care less? Because that makes a difference in two comments.
From Brandon Mendoza on April 27, 2012 at 9:46 AM
As much as I'm a fan of the T2 movie, the 3D attraction was never a priority at the park. The whole identity crisis it had of starting with us as part of the show, then watching, then back to part of the show made little sense. I don't really want to be at a theme park and WATCH a movie. I'd rather be part of it. Shrek can go away too as it's even worse than T2.
The only attraction that needs to stay is Water World. The attraction that's a bajillion times better than the movie, and is the best stunt show in North America!
From Jake Mappes on April 27, 2012 at 9:53 AM
I've always enjoyed T2. I will admit it is dated in different ways, but I still would be sad to see it go in any of Universal's parks. I don't know if it is time to get rid of the attraction in USF, though. All they have to do is update the footage like they did in Spider-Man, and make another pre show. This will happen with any attraction that deals with the future. It will become outdated and old. But i am sure the Terminator franchise will live on forever and will always be popular. That's my thought on the attraction. Update it.
From Robert Niles on April 27, 2012 at 10:51 AM
On the topic of Shrek... Shrek 4D was a fun movie when it debuted, long before Dreamworks beat that franchise to death with so many sequels. And Universal's invested a lot in Shrek as an in-park character. He needs an attraction as an anchor, so I can't imagine that show going away.
That said, if Universal would like to replace the 4D show with a Shrek dark ride someplace in the park within the next decade, that would likely make me a very, very happy theme park writer.
From Doug Jenkins on April 27, 2012 at 12:28 PM
We want a Transformers in Orlando!! Don't know if the Terminator site would be large enough though.
From Mark Hollamon on April 27, 2012 at 12:36 PM
It's sad, but in the same breath all things must come to an end sometime.
First Kong then Jaws then Back to the Future. Now T2:3D and soon it will be Twister because the attraction itself really is nothing spectacular now and even with the cutting edge pre-show to Disaster the main part of the ride remains the same and lacks believability.
Within a few years the park as I knew it when we moved to Orlando in 2003 will be gone. I am excited, however, that all of our theme parks in Orlando are getting some pretty substantial upgrades! Keeps things fresh and that helps lessen the sting of annual passes!
From Brandon Mendoza on April 27, 2012 at 1:30 PM
I would have to agree with Mr. Niles about Shrek. There has to be some sort of high profile presence of Shrek, Donkey, and the rest of the cast beyond characters walking around. The fair is mediocre at best, and the attraction needs to be completely re-done as something else! Maybe this is their chance to out-do Disney even more than just with Transformers and Harry Potter! USH needs all it can to prove that it can be ahead of Disney in terms of quality.
From Jay R. on April 27, 2012 at 1:54 PM
For us hollywood folks, I think it's time for Terminator to be replaced.
If the Orlando version is in fine working order and still pulling in crowds that are pleased, then I say leave it alone.
But the Hollywood park is already limited in terms of attractions (versus) Orlando, so even 1 subpar attraction, isn't a great use of space.
Like I said, I like the terminator series, but the current attraction, in it's current state (especially in light of transformers, & the new hp, etc) doesn't deliver.
From 220.127.116.11 on April 27, 2012 at 6:59 PM
Im tired of classic attractions being replaced! The fact that jaws was closed for harry potter had me considering sending a strong letter to universal creative. Yes t2 is an outdated attraction but it's a wonderful ride . The only thing that would make up for t2 is transformers . As for hollywood I'm up for an inception ride . When teenagers think disney is too kiddie , they go to universal and seuss would defeat that purpose . If it goes make the loss worth it.(harry potter doesn't live up to that )
From Max LaZebnik on April 27, 2012 at 10:56 PM
That is all so true! We've all feared the governator more than appreciated him- more the better reason for terminator to leave universal
From Adam Bezark on April 27, 2012 at 11:52 PM
Hi, Robert -
Very interesting discussion here about a show that's near and dear to my heart. I conceived, co-wrote and co-directed "Terminator 2: 3D" (together with Jim Cameron and Gary Goddard), so I've been following its impending demise with very mixed emotions.
Despite being so close to the attraction for so long (I was involved in all three installations around the world), I have to agree with you: the time has come to bid adieu to the Connors and their cybernetic pals.
You're quite right that above all, time has passed the show by. Not just because of our governor, but because the Terminator movies themselves have fallen far from the public consciousness. The series certainly peaked with "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," and the subsequent installments have taken us further and further away from the jaw-dropping power of the Cameron originals. (The story has also gotten way out of sync with the Universal attraction. When Cameron worked with us on the show, we planned it so that he could wrap a third sequel around it gracefully. But when he left the series, later producers went off in totally different directions, leaving the attraction orphaned in the time stream.)
You're also absolutely right that the technology references -- especially in the Pre-Show video, and even more so in the Queue video -- are comically outdated. When we wrote the show in 1993-95, there wasn't even a standard name for the internet! (If you pay attention, you can hear us use the Al Gore term, "Information Superhighway.") There might have been an opportunity to update those shows five or ten years ago, but now it's probably too late.
I'm especially sorry to hear your report that the show isn't being well maintained. (Haven't seen it myself for a while, so I'll have to take your word for it.) That sort of thing comes and goes, and I'd sort of hoped T2 would at least go out with its head held high. I'm sure the good folks at USH will do the right thing. Last I looked, the Osaka version was actually the most polished and best maintained, if you'd care to see what it was really supposed to look like.
The one place where I'll respectfully disagree with you is in your critique of the multiple-format story structure. I've heard a few people criticize the way we jump from "live theater" in Act I, to "pure movie" in Act II, to "immersive opera" in Act III. This non-literal reality progression is actually one of the things I'm proudest of. Often in the theme park world, we let ourselves become excessively focused on creating a literal, totally air-tight logical reality for our attractions. But who said that was the only way to go? What's wrong with a certain level of theatrical abstraction? Did you complain about the radical format changes in "Kill Bill," or the manic reality shifts of "Moulin Rouge"? I believe audiences actually enjoy being creatively challenged, and like it when a show throws them a mental curve ball, forcing us to become partners in the storytelling effort.
That's not to say we were completely random in our choice of formats; quite the opposite. As we conceived it, T2:3D is presented in the format that works best for each act. The first Act is a live presentation, the second is a huge chase sequence, and the third is a monstrous underground world... so the show changes format to present each part of the story in its best light. (We put a lot of effort into creating interesting transitions between these different formats to signal the audience that a change was happening, and give them permission to go along with the shift.)
In a sense, you could argue that we, the audience, make a subtle transition during the show: from physical visitors at a Cyberdyne Systems demo, to the invisible observers of a much bigger story that spans time and space. I've always loved the way this turned out, and I'm still disinclined to apologize for it.
Thanks for your great work on TPI, and it's a pleasure following this very interesting discussion. See you all at the last performance: I'll buy the beers.
From Dominick D on April 28, 2012 at 2:55 AM
Skipper, I could care less on what happens.
Robert, I agree that a Shrek dark ride would be better then the 4D show right now.
From Sylvain Comeau on April 28, 2012 at 10:20 AM
I guess I'm clueless, because I saw T2:3D again in December, and thought it's still a great show. Even the 3D still looks good.
From TIMOTHY LOVELL on April 28, 2012 at 10:45 AM
It is out dated, but not a bad show. Maybe they replace it with often talked HHN experience.....
From 188.8.131.52 on April 29, 2012 at 6:27 AM
Adam, I have to disagree with comparing T2:3D with Kill Bill or Moulin Rouge. The entire time, we're watching those two movies from different perspectives, but are never physically involved. That's the difference. We're physically part of the show in T2, then watching, then part of it again... no explanation for a sci-fi film. From a storytelling perspective, it doesn't make sense. Why aren't we there in the future? Why are we only watching? Sure, you never have all of the answers to everything in life, but there's no excuse when you're trying to tell a story in a short time. The transition is jarring to say the least.
From Skipper Adam on April 29, 2012 at 8:23 PM
I have to disagree with Adam as well. As a fiction writer, just like film makers, we can jump from perspectives and POV to improve the story because the reader is not there in the story, just a distant witness. But in theme parks, the guest are involved. The show starts with guest as a part of the story, and then suddenly it goes places where the audience should be completely unaware. It was always odd and distracting and never understood it. It doesn't make for strong story telling, just a muddle experience from the guest's perspective.
From 18.104.22.168 on April 29, 2012 at 9:57 PM
When I go to a theme park, I leave Politics in the outside world and live in a fantasy land of adventure. What Arnold did is his own fault. However, can we fault his behavior for what he has done to the Terminator franchise? Absoultely not. I would rather see Terminator 2: 3D over and over again than see Scary Potter in its place. If that will ever happens, I will never buy a season pass to Universal ever again, even though they have Transformers and they are near to where I live. I'd rather go 35 miles north to Six Flags to enjoy my day than give my hard earned money to Hogwarts lovers.

Bacardi Building (Miami)
The Bacardi Building, the former headquarters of Bacardi USA, is a landmark of Midtown Miami. On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed it on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places as Bacardi USA.[1]
Around 2009, Miami citizens began a campaign to label the buildings as "historic". University of Miami professor of architecture Allan Shulman said "Miami's brand is its identity as a tropical city. The Bacardi buildings are exactly the sort that resonate with our consciousness of what Miami is about".[2] In 2007 Chad Oppenheim, the head of Oppenheim Architecture + Design, described the Bacardi buildings as "elegant, with a Modernist [look combined with] a local flavour."[3]
The current headquarters is at 2701 Le Jeune Road in Coral Gables.[4]

Ages: 2 years and up
Giddyap! Keep your little neigh-sayer horsing around for days with this soulful steed, easily assembled in about an hour from a dowel and a fuzzy slipper sock. If clippety-clopping through the house loses its spark (unlikely), let him try a horseplay scenario or two. He can jump over foam blocks in a steeplechase course or compete in a toy animal rodeo, using a yarn lasso or tongs to corral that plastic cow as he trots by.
Looking for a fantasy variation on this great toy? Check out our magical Hobby Unicorn.
Loosely fill the slipper sock with polyester stuffing.
Make the nostrils. With the heel facing up, pinch the fabric on one side of the toe and sew a 1/2-inch-wide horizontal stitch across the pinch. Knot the ends, then repeat for the other nostril.
To make ears, cut four matching rounded triangles from felt (ours are 2 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches high). Glue them together in pairs. Slightly bend each ear to create a hollow, then sew them to the head as shown.
Cut out almond-shaped eyes and pupils from felt. Sew the pieces together, then sew them onto the head.
To make the forelock, sew a 4-inch piece of yarn through the head where shown, then knot it close to the head so it looks like fringe. Repeat, tying 10 lengths of yarn about H inch apart to the top of the head. (Tip: To avoid continuously rethreading the needle, use one 2-foot length of yarn at a time and trim it after each stitch.)
To make the mane, sew and tie 35 1-foot-long pieces of yarn about 1/2 inch apart to the back of the head and neck. Taper the width of the mane into a V shape as you work your way down the sock.
Pad the top of the dowel with a large handful of stuffing. Pull the head over the dowel and add stuffing as needed. Apply one large bead of glue to the dowel, then press the sock to the glue for 5 seconds. Pleat and glue your way around the dowel, then glue a length of cording to the dowel just below the sock.
To make the bridle, glue two 1-foot lengths of cording around the horse's head as shown (fold the ends under to hide the raw edges). To make the rein, drape a 21-inch length of cording around the back of the horse's head, then glue it to the sides of the bridle as shown, wrapping the ends around the cording at the nose to hide the raw edges.

Kean Professor Pens Groundbreaking Book about Johannes Kepler
UNION, N.J. – Dr. James A. Connor, assistant professor of English at Kean University, has written Kepler's Witch, a fascinating and largely untold biography of Johannes Kepler (1511-1630), an icon of the modern age. Set against the backdrop of the witchcraft trial of his mother, Katharina, this story is filled with crooked judges, bigoted tribunals, sadistic bailiffs, and a jumble of nasty neighbors bent on the destruction of a strange little woman who, like Kepler himself, was too smart for the world she lived in. Kepler's Witch vividly brings to life the tidal forces of Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and submerges us into these turbulent times. It reveals not only the surprisingly spiritual nature of early modern science, but also Kepler's role as a neglected hero of conscience.
Connor has translated witchcraft trial records, testimonies, Kepler's diary entries and correspondence into English for the first time, revealing him to be a man worth knowing. Born in Wittenberg – a city in what is now Germany – under the dominion of the Holy Roman Empire, Kepler was the imperial mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II for 11 years. He took the Danish Tycho Brahe's observational treasure and spun it into gold, confirmed the Copernican universe and laid the foundation for Newton's physics. He calculated the true shape of the solar system and discovered the three basic laws of planetary motion, and, along the way, discovered how a telescope works, why snowflakes are shaped the way they are, and how to properly measure wine in a barrel. Concerned with more than scientific discoveries and achievements, Kepler fought for peace and reconciliation between the Christian churches, even when it nearly cost him his life. Exiled twice by Catholic princes and excommunicated by his fellow Lutherans, he was unbowed in his scientific and moral vision. With a great respect for the history of these times and the life of this man, Connor's unforgettable story illuminates Kepler as a man of exceptional faith and courage.
Due for release in April, 2004, the book has already received acclaim from many authors and critics. "Based on deep research, James A. Connor's skillful narrative brings to life a fascinating time of changing cosmologies and an extraordinary man who wanted to know the mind of God," said Pulitzer Prize-winning author Kenneth Silverman. And the writer Michael Gurian hailed, "I found in Kepler's Witch the kind of historical story telling that kept me turning the pages. I haven't read anything this good since Dava Sobel's Galileo's Daughter."
Dr. James A. Connor is a former Jesuit priest who has been teaching at Kean University since 1999. He has also held teaching posts at St. Louis University and Gonzaga University. The author of God's Breath and Other Stories and the spiritual memoir Silent Fire, Connor holds degrees in geoscience, philosophy, theology, creative writing, and a doctorate in literature and science. He has studied with writers such as Frank Conroy and is a prize-winning essayist published widely in such places as American Book Review; Traditional Home Magazine; Willow Springs; The Critic; The Iowa Review; and The Iowa Journal of Literary Studies. The Kepler Society in Germany (Kepler Gesellschaft) has invited Connor to found the American Kepler Society concurrent with the publication of Kepler's Witch.
