It took a lot to get me to take that first step and begin running while considerably overweight. I learned to love it, but I spent years with crazy ideas about things I should and shouldn't do as one of the overweight runners out there.
Even as the weight started to come off, I was still hanging onto these overweight runner fears and ideas. Only recently did I identify them and realize how crazy they are.
So, overweight runners unite and let's get rid of these crazy ideas!

Crazy Ideas Overweight Runners Need to Leave in the Dust
People are Judging You
This one got me for way too long. I was nervous that people would look at me puffing along and think, "look at that fat girl trying to run."
I finally realized, I never look at anyone that way. I'm proud of them for making changes and living healthier. Even if anyone does look and judge – who cares!? The problem or the insecurities will never change if you don't get out there and do something about it.
I keep thinking of Phoebe from friends, "… and you don't care if people are staring. It's just for a second, 'cuz then you're gone!"
You Need to Cover Up
There is nothing more important than being comfortable while running. Many overweight runners feel like they should wear more layers than needed, they should cover certain areas, or they should keep things from jiggling.
When I first started running, I didn't have any appropriate pants or feel like I could wear something form-fitting. I ran in thick sweatpants and over-sized cotton t-shirts.
Talk about uncomfortable!
Thankfully, I stuck with it and started to wear more appropriate clothing. I even began to feel confident enough to run without sleeves when I hadn't worn a sleeveless shirt in public in a very long time.
The one thing I didn't let go of for far too long was cinching my waist with a belt because I felt like I needed to stop my stomach from jiggling when I ran. I covered that thick belt with a compression tank and another tank or shirt on top of that. I can't believe I did that for so long! It was so freeing when I finally ran without that belt.
You can't call yourself a runner
So many overweight runners struggle with calling themselves a runner. I still find myself saying I'm a "wannabe runner."
Fact: If you run, you're a runner.
You Can't Enter Races
Don't let the idea of a 5k or even a half marathon or marathon intimidate you. You can do it! They are also a lot less serious than you think. There are runners of all levels, and I bet you'll be surprised at how easy it is to find your place.
I was so nervous before my first 5k. I thought I'd be dead last because I had never run a full 5k before. I was a ball of nerves that morning, but I did it and I realized that I could do a lot more than I thought. I even went on to run the Biggest Loser Half Marathon without training, and found I could do that too!
You Need to Run
There is no rule that says you have to go out there and run a full 6 miles straight to consider yourself a runner. If you put that kind of pressure on yourself, you'll never get out there.
Run, walk, or crawl, you're still better off than you would be doing nothing.
Running is freeing and doesn't have to have all these crazy rules or pressure along with it.
You Shouldn't Spend Money on Good Equipment
It so easy to say, "I'll get the right shoes when I start getting better" or "I'll get the right clothes when i get more serious about it."
Get out of the hot sweatpants and cotton shirts. you'll be a lot more comfortable and a lot better runner when you do. When you get the right shoes, you'll be able to run better and more comfortably. The right clothing, belt, armband, or headphones will help you get further in your journey, so don't wait.
It Will Always Suck
It does suck at first. It's hard to take those first steps and carry that extra weight forward. It's difficult to learn to breath, to go even a little distance before feeling like you want to stop, and there will be bad days.
It does get better, and it does get easier. Before you know it, you'll be doing things that you never thought were possible. Your idea of taking it easy will be going a distance or a speed you would have never thought you could.
What are some of your crazy ideas about running or any kind of fitness?
What would you tell a runner just starting out?

Israeli airstrikes hit eastern Gaza & the silence, as always, is deafening
Israeli airstrikes hit eastern Gaza
According to initial reports, Israeli fighter jets targeted a garage used by mechanics in the Shujaiyyah neighborhood in the besieged Gaza Strip late on Tuesday night.
Earlier in the day, Israeli artillery shelling in east of the al-Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza killed two Palestinians and injured another.
In April, a series of Israeli airstrikes killed at least 19 Palestinians in the occupied territories.
On May 15, the Israeli military gunned down over two dozen people among those marking Israel's 1948 occupation of Palestine, known as the Nakba Day or "the day of the catastrophe."
The Israeli army frequently bombs the tunnel network in Gaza, claiming that Palestinian resistance fighters use the tunnels to store and smuggle in weapons. Palestinians, however, dismiss such allegations, insisting that they were forced to resort to the underground tunnels to bring in basic living supplies to the impoverished Gazans because the territory has been sealed off to the outside world by a punishing Israeli blockade for over three years.
Some 1.5 million people are being denied their basic rights, including the freedom of movement and their rights to appropriate living conditions, work, health and education.
In 1948, Israeli forces displaced some 700,000 Palestinians, forcing them to flee to different countries.

Bursa Malaysia Shares: Stimulus Hopes and Oil Price to Underpin Sentiment
Bursa Malaysia shares managed to rebound from early decline in choppy trade Thursday, in line with most of the regional markets as weak trade data from Japan weighed on sentiment. The index inched up by 0.55 points to close at the day's high of 1,694.87, off an early low of 1,690.44, as losers beat gainers 439 to 384 on turnover totaling 2.85bn shares worth RM1.99bn.
Support from Rising 10-day ma (1,682)
Hopes for further stimulus from Japan which reported weak trade data and oil output freeze from major producers which pushed WTI crude up to USD48.22 a barrel overnight should underpin local trading sentiment. Immediate support for the index remains at the rising 10-day moving average at 1,682, next will be the 100 and 200-day ma at 1,665, followed by the 50-day ma at 1,655. Immediate resistance stays at Tuesday's high matching the 1,700 psychological level, with tougher resistance from the April peak of 1,729.
Take Profit on AMMB & CIMB
Weakening trend indicators on AMMB implies near-term correction potential towards the 50-day moving average (RM4.38), with better supports from the lower Bollinger band (RM4.26) and the low of 26/05/15 (RM4.17). Resistance is seen at 23.6%FR (RM4.68).
Likewise, CIMB could fall back for profit-taking correction from the recent rally, with better support from 10-day moving average (RM4.60) and 23.6%FR (RM4.43) and immediate resistance from upper Bollinger band (RM4.82).
Asian Markets Close Mixed On Weak Japanese Data
Asian market close mixed Thursday, with Japanese shares dragged lower by weak trade data and stronger yen. Japanese exports tumbled at their steepest pace in seven years as a stronger yen weighed on international shipments. Exports slid 14 percent on-year, as forecast by a Reuter's poll of economists. This was the tenth month in a row that exports fell from a year earlier. Imports meanwhile tanked 24.7 percent on-year, worse than the 20.6 percent decline expected and the largest drop since 2009. Japan's Nikkei share average dropped to a near two-week low, as a strong yen soured investor risk appetite and dragged stocks lower across the board. That spurred declines in major exporters, with Toyota down 1.15 percent, Nissan down 1.95 percent and Mazda dropping 2.87 percent. The Nikkei fell 1.6 percent to 16,486.01, the lowest closing level since Aug. 5.
In Australia, the ASX 200 dropped 0.49 percent at 5,507.82, with the heavily-weighted financials sub-index declining 0.86 percent. China stocks also surrendered early gains and ended Thursday lower, as financial shares dropped while property plays pared sharp gains on profit-taking. The market was firm in morning trade, aided by a surge in the real estate sector, but selling pressure surfaced in the afternoon as some investors took profit. The bluechip CSI300 index fell 0.3 percent, to 3,364.49, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.2 percent to 3,104.11 points.
Wall Street Notch Slight Gains as Oil Rallies
U.S. equities closed slightly higher Thursday, amid surging oil prices, as investors digested fresh economic data as well as upbeat outlook on Wal-Mart shares. West Texas Intermediate crude extended its longest advance in more than a year amid speculation major producers may act to curb output and as U.S. oil and gasoline inventories declined. WTI for September delivery rose 3.1 percent to settle at USD48.22 a barrel. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is set to meet in late September, and leaders of both Saudi Arabia and Russia have expressed interest in revisiting a deal to limit production at that meeting.
On the data front, weekly jobless claims fell 4,000 to 262,000, while the August Philadelphia Fed business index came in line with expectations. Investors expect more insight on the rate outlook at an annual meeting of central bankers from around the world in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, next week. The energy sector led gains in the S&P 500. Investors also digested quarterly results from Dow component Wal-Mart, which reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue and raised its full-year guidance. Wal-Mart shares rose 1.88 percent in Thursday trade. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 23.76 points, or 0.13 percent, to 18,597.7, the S&P 500 added 4.8 points, or 0.22 percent, to 2,187.02 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 11.49 points, or 0.22 percent, to 5,240.15

Surf City is dedicated to and designed for kids.
From birth through fourth grade, kids thrive in a fun and safe environment built for them to learn about Jesus and grow in their relationships with Him. All week long, the Surf City team prepares for the exciting hour of high energy worship, creative teaching, group discussion and games that we spend with your children. As your partners we take our role seriously; to help your child believe that Jesus loves him or her, to develop love for others, to start a relationship with Jesus and to live out that relationship in daily life.
Littles (birth-2 yrs.)
From the moment you check in your child to the time you pick up him or her, your child is individually loved and cared for—so you can relax and enjoy Watermark's Gathering. (We'll come find you if any need arises. We promise.)
Surf City Jr. (3-5 yrs.)
After you visit the registration desk, our team is eager to engage with your child as he or she enjoys playing with other kids, singing songs, listening to a Bible story, creating a craft masterpiece and other interactive activities. (Make sure you call it a "masterpiece!")
Surf City Kids (Kindergarten-4th Grade)
Kids receive their name-tag at the registration desk and then enter a world of fun. In a large group with all the other children, your son or daughter will experience a creative Bible lesson, worship through singing and dancing, as well as time to hang out with their friends. Then we go into age-divided small groups, each with a guide who will lead an interactive discussion and other activities to support the morning's Bible story. Our guides are very intentional to build relationships with kids, pray for them and encourage them as they discover Jesus. (Sunday lunch discussion idea: "What did you learn at Surf City today?")

Cape Town - There is "no place" to suggest that judges have an agenda against the government, Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke said in Cape Town on Thursday.
Moseneke told a packed lecture hall at the annual Claude Leon human rights lecture at the University of Cape Town that every judge on the Constitutional Court approached their work with "remarkable sincerity".
"There is no place for attacks on judges suggesting a arcane dishonest agenda against the government," he said.
Moseneke said questions had sprung up about the legitimacy of the Constitution in the past months.
He said that all judges knew that they must find that "rich equilibrium" between constitutional supremacy and the will of the people.
"Quite often they do so admirably," he said.
The function of the Constitutional Court, he said, was "ultimately supportive of democracy" and upheld protections that ensured democratic practises.
Constitutional supremacy was needed to protect against abuse of public power and that a robust constitution could make the government "stronger, more responsive, predictable, just, consistent and legitimate".
The government had "by and large" implemented orders of the court.
Moseneke joked about his "public admonishment" of Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng for his "long" 47-page presentation when he was interviewed for the post by the Judicial Services Commission earlier in September.
"You've seen me publicly admonish people to ask how many pages to go through," he said to laughter.
"I have to confess I have 20 pages."
Its true Mr Deputy,by the way its not what the ANC wants but what the people want.Realy you as a judge are not against the governmant but are against the ANC.Thanks Mr learned judge you are a star
Mandla,I am trying to decipher your comments but to no avail.Everything you say is a contradiction in terms.The judge and others like him are anti nobody or any organ of state or political party.This is the crux of what he has said.How can you claim therefore that he is anti ANC and call him a star.Please take your pills and medicine,wait for same to kick in,think, and then post your comments.
My only concern at what the judge has said is that one point, being"by and large".In my book it is all or nothing.Government by implication can not pick and choose what rulings they like or dislike.
The ANC wants to be in full control. They want to do as they please and want to be above the law.
Judges aren't anti government, it government that's anti law.
Agree 100%...if you break the law or act unconstitutionally, the judges are "going to be against" you!
lol, too true.
The anc can't handle a judgement that goes against their kleptocratic feudalist agenda.
We should not take on the organization only, but the human beings in that organization on a personal level.
Mentality and concepts develop attitudes and the current ruling regime has its back up against the wall, similar to the Black Business Forums - where they have not transparently "talked the same language" especially in politics and money - and are now forcefully isolating themselves in what used to be termed the afrikaner laager mentality - in a desperate whim to hide their criminality!
Meanwhile, even the educated stalwarts/leaders of the regime and the rest of civil society is demanding that they adjust their focus and remove the built up silo walls and return to "normalized South African society viewpoints".
Our so called president and a variety of others have expressed the desire for open dialogue!
The EU is busy thrashing out dire circumstances even affecting us through open dialogue!
Obama in the USA is doing the same and castigating the whining black population to "get off their backsides" and get down to the matter of 20 million scarce jobs available to them!
THE ENTIRE WORLD is opening to transparent dialogue EXCEPT the previously "advantaged BEE component of SA" as well as currently.
It boils down to a matter of the ADVANTAGED do NOT appreciate the equity & wealth they have gleaned BUT NEVER EARNED!
This is the missing item even being referred to in young bloggers articles these days about "we have attained all the riches but ended up with nothing other than empty hearts and souls"!
The writers below are perfectly correct and so is the Hon judge - the anc is anti RULE OF LAW - the judiciary applies the rule of law and justice - the anc is far to corrupt to understand that - not even their mantashe understands that - thanks mr Judge - judges are the tools of justice - PLEASE LET JUSTICE PREVAIL - RSA cannot afford these anc mongooses
Dear Judge Moseneke: Remember that you should always judge in such a way as to protect "We the PEOPLE" as the constitution says, not the PERSON, thus legal enities such as the state, the president etc etc. We the people, natural man, human beings etc, are not dead enitities, nor fictions, nor figments of imangination and we demand justice done under common law, free from color of law. May I also urge you to always enter your oath of office into the record before touching any case andplease force all magistrates and other judges to do the same. That will be an endless help to us "the people".
It's not the courts that are the opposition. It's the ANC that's in opposition to the Constitution. They need to be reminded quite often that we are a constitutional Democracy, and not a one-party national socialist tyranny that subverts the will of the people and tells the people how to think, speak and do. That died in 1991 with the CODESA negotiations.
What an honorable man
All are eqaul before the law including statemen. However the Judiciary System must take a note and appriciate the role played by other democratic institutions such parliament. Judiciary its not outside the democratic govnerment system.
Get Lost, bitter man ... you do not even know what "conflict of interest" is, but not for long you will be taught.. take your 3 months Leave and then the real Lecture must begin..

Daniel & Rachel: " I couldn't believe our luck when I was emailed advising that I had won a Engagement photo shoot with Phil Hearing Photography, We were both so excited we arranged the date and it flew by so fast, we met Phil outside the front of Lincoln Cathedral and he put us straight at ease as we were both nervous and didn't know what to expect, we had such a good time having these photos taken and the different artistic ways were very creative by Phil, it made Daniel and myself fall in love all over again and Phil captured it amazingly and it told a story at the same time.
We were amazed how quick and professionally Phil was to show us our proofs from the day, we loved them all and loved that we could view them on his website and send all the links to our family members to also view.

After you sign off on the container delivery/pickup, all you'll pay for is per month for keeping the container. And speaking of the price of the containers per month…
Best Ratio for Storage Unit Space vs. Price

How much will DieselGate cost VW?VW is facing fines up to $18 Billion for gaming the emissions testing on their 2.0l diesel engines sold in the US. They also face recall costs which could be relatively inexpensive via a sofware fix or costly if an AdBlue system retrofit is required. Then there will be class actions by consumers for lost value of their cars, lost performance and mpg if the recall fix affects those features and perhaps buyback costs. The stockholders may sue for lost value of their shares. And the dealers may sue for lost sales profits.
The numbers are so big, we're using a Capital B Billion.

Yowie sightings and even contact with the creatures have long been part of the cryptid history of Australia.
The Bigfoot like hominid said to live in the wilderness of Australia continues to be reported today. In fact there are even some reports now of actual contact with the creatures. Sightings and reports date back all the way to the 19th century but Queensland resident Tony Duffy now claims to have met and talked with these creatures.
"Tony Duffy"
Sightings have been claimed by people as high profile Bill O'Chee a Queensland senator among many others. But claims of having actual communication with the Yowie have many people skeptical to say the least. Mr. Duffy claims that while camping in the bush near Gympie one night a large male Yowie approached him and began to speak to him in a language he thinks may have been Latin.
Duffy Report:
"I got a fright and so did he," he said.
The creature seemed human but larger and spoke in a language he thinks might be Latin.
"He was quickly able to learn a few words in English and we spoke for about two hours," the Kybong resident said.
"They're very intelligent."
But he says they are in danger.
"They build meagre shelters in the forest which are often destroyed by humans," he said.
"The EPA won't respond to my calls."
The next night, Mr Duffy's campsite visitor returned, this time "with his wife and daughter".
"My whole mission is to protect them and to convince people to leave them alone and not hurt them.
"In the last 12 months I have had close contact with yowies on at least seven occasions.
"These creatures must be protected and respected.
"Yowies are clearly 'the missing link' that scientists have looked for decades. I believe they are the greatest discovery in the history of natural science.
"They are very peaceful creatures and love their partners and their children dearly."
Duffy says the creatures are peaceful and are at risk from humans and he only wishes to protect them. He thinks the Yowies are clearly the missing link that science has been searching for and believes they are and will be the greatest discovery in the history of science. Plenty of skeptics are having a hard time buying Duffy's claims and still believe the Australian Bigfoot to be a myth and many reports of it either mis – identifications or hoaxes.

Morgan Memories – Trolley Tracks through South Amboy
For its size, in the early 1900's South Amboy had a lot of railroad tracks running through it. In its railroad heyday, there were three railroads: the Camden & Amboy, the New York & Long Branch Railroad / Central Railroad of New Jersey / Pennsylvania Railroad, the Raritan River Railroad and two trolley lines: the Public Service Railway Company and the Jersey Central Traction Company. Very impressive for a city with an area of just 1.5 square miles!
The purpose of this page is to take old photos of South Amboy from the early 1900's which had trolley tracks in them and show on a map approximately where these images were taken. Another thank you goes to Joyce Elyea, whose collection of early South Amboy picture post cards and images greatly contributed not only to George Francy's Images of America South Amboy book and also to this page.
When you look at the various picture post cards, you'll see that they came from a number of different series published at different times. One of the series, possibly the oldest circa 1900 – 1905, had black and white images with a series number and description written in a white footer area. The roads surrounding the trolley tracks were dirt. There are four from this series on this page (Images B, C, F, & L). The next three series types still have dirt roads but are colorized, probably by hand, either partially in the sky (Images J & N) or fully either somewhat realistically (Images A & M), or seemingly impressionistically (Image H). Image K appears to be part of yet another series because of the coloring type and the series number contained in the text at the top of the card. It is hard to tell if the street is paved in this one but one souvenir left on the road in the image strongly implies it was still the horse and buggy days.
This image will look familiar to the reader as it was used in the Morgan-NJ.org page describing the route of the Public Service Railway from Morgan through South Amboy and Sayreville to New Brunswick. Of the images on this page, this is the one which is furthest south. Guess one could argue that the other images in the other page could have been used in this one as well but that would be too much duplication. The southernmost end of the Public Service Railway line on the eastern part of New Jersey was but a few hundred feet from this location.
Just like the above image, this image was included in the page describing the route of the Public Service Railway from Morgan through South Amboy and Sayreville to New Brunswick. According to Bill Marshall, the house on the right with the flat roof, which still stands today, once belonged to Alfred Kerr who was mayor of South Amboy before 1925.
It took Joyce and me quite a while to determine that this image shows the bend of the Public Service Railway going from Pine Avenue to Bordentown Avenue, right next to present day Jacqueline's Florist. This image shows only one track going on Bordentown Avenue so it would have to have been taken between 1900, when the trolley line opened up, and 1905 when the Jersey Central Traction Company opened for business on a track which ran right next to this one at this point.
Here we can see both the Public Service Railway track on the left and the Jersey Central Traction Company track on the right. It looks like the Public Service Railway was undergoing some form of construction work. This image was taken just east of the Pine Avenue and Bordentown Avenue intersection. It is hard to recognize the first two buildings on the left, especially since the first one is no longer there. The second one is present day Jacqueline's Florist though in this image it is pretty unrecognizable. The house which allowed for positive identification of the location of this image is the third one which matches the current house located at the southwest corner of the Pine Avenue and Bordentown Avenue intersection. Wonder what that tower is over this house in the image? You'll note that having two sets of tracks on this narrow road, which lead to a bridge over the Raritan River Railroad on the way to Stevens Avenue, was a very large problem a few years later when the automobile was becoming the primary method of transportation.
This is the first image in this collection showing Broadway, in this case looking north. The building just to the right of the horse and buggy on the northeast corner of John Street and Bordentown Avenue is still standing. I remember getting coffee ice cream cones there as a kid (though that didn't translate into being a coffee drinker later in life). At the time this image was taken, the railroad passenger station was located on this side of the tracks right next to this building.
This image is a little further north but looking south. You'll note that by this time, the tracks were modified to have a passing siding right near the railroad passenger station. Check out the guy on top of the pole on the left! Also note that, as is still true today, the west side of Broadway (the right side in this image) is the side of the street with the majority of the overhead electrical wires.
The exact location of this photo was extremely difficult to determine though I now have confidence that it was taken on Broadway just north of the intersection of Broadway and Henry Street and is looking southwest. This image was taken during the Saturday, August 14, 1915 Baby Parade which was one of the activities making up the South Amboy Old Home Celebration of 1915. From what I can tell, the Old Home Celebration was an annual event which occurred for a week each August (Old Home Week) to celebrate South Amboy and its founding, as per Congressman John Scully in the South Amboy Citizen of August 14, 1915, "two hundred and thirty years ago." The 1915 celebration culminated on Friday and Saturday with the following planned events: Arrival of the US Navy Destroyer McCall which anchored off of the city dock in the channel, Coronation of a Queen, Mardi Gras and Carnival, Baby Parade, Fireman's Parade, Auto Parade, and Land & Water Sports activities. St. Mary's also had a picnic on their school grounds on Stevens Avenue which attracted thousands of people.
According to the South Amboy Citizen of August 21, 1915, the Baby Parade formed at John Street, went north on Broadway, turned around at Main Street then went back to John Street. One report indicated the parade was to start at 3:30 in the afternoon. Another report indicated that because there were so many entries in the parade and there were so many people to move out of the way, the start of the parade wasn't until 4pm. Looking at the image with this time of day info allowed for the determination of which direction the image was facing, i.e., the shadows are on the left side of the people which, in the afternoon, would imply they are facing north. This would mean the photo was taken during the beginning part of the parade and thus the buildings we are looking at are on the west side of the street, south is on the left and north is on the right. Determining where on Broadway was very difficult but when comparing to an image on Google Maps Street View, it seems that the two buildings at the top left (to the right of the sign which says "GS") are the same two building which are still located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Broadway and Henry Street. The building on the corner has a V shaped roof on the third floor and the building next to it, with the two American flags in the picture, seems to match the current three story building which has a flat roof.
Old Home Celebration doesn't seem to occur anymore in South Amboy and may have ended sometime in the early 1930s. No doubt there is someone presently in South Amboy who can fill us in about the meaning and history of the Old Home Celebration.
Note that the map shown at the top of this page does not currently correctly show the location of this image. The map was created prior to the realization of the actual location and will be updated at some point in the future.
Without some reference points contained in image I below, this nicely painted post card looking south on Broadway was difficult to place. Comparing to recent times via Google Street View isn't very helpful as many of the buildings are either now gone, replaced or modified enough to be unrecognizable. Comparing to the below image shows a number of similarities though even these aren't fully conclusive. Firstly, the street feels similar at this location. On the left side of the street, there are a few buildings with V shaped roofs. On the right side, there are a number of flat roofed buildings. The two items which instill the most confidence is the large tree to the left of the trolley in the above image which seems to match the large tree in the image below sans leaves and the two poles on the left side of the street which lean sideways toward the buildings. One additional data point regarding where this might be is contained in the image on the bottom of page 58 of George Francy's Images of America South Amboy. The left side of that image partially shows what appears to be the same building as is partially seen on the right side of image I above. Therefore, this appears to be north of the intersection of Broadway and Augusta Street but just south of the present day City Hall / Police Department.
This picture post card, with a hand written date of April 23, 1905, was obviously taken sometime before that. The bend in the road implies that the photo was taken on Broadway in front of the Presbyterian Church which started to be constructed in August, 1866 on land donated by the Camden and Amboy Railroad.
This is the first image showing Main Street. Funny, it never felt like the main street to me, Broadway did. It wasn't until I started doing this research that I understood why it was named that. This image is looking west toward Stevens Avenue. You'll note the Jersey Central Traction tracks which split off in both directions on Stevens Avenue. Another landmark to many of us is the house on the corner on the left which is presently the medical office of Dr. Harold McKenna. He is fantastic!
This image is on Main Street but looking the other direction from the other side of the street and in a different year. Note the institutional looking buildings on the left side of the street down the road. George Francy, in his Images of America South Amboy book, seems to indicate that these were affiliated with Christ Church. I believe I read in a back issue of the South Amboy Citizen that the large trees on the right were removed during the Depression as part of a Works Progress Administration work program.
This image is a little further west from the previous one at the intersection of Main Street and Potter Street. The house on the corner on the left is still there today.
This image is on the other side of Main Street and a little further west still but still looking east on Main Street. The big house with the round cupola is reported to have once been the Stevens Family mansion previously located on the once nearby Stevensdale Estate but later moved to this location. A little known fact of South Amboy history is that Commodore John Cox Stevens was the person that formed the syndicate which in 1851 won the Queens Cup yacht race around the Isle of Wright. The cup was brought to America and renamed to the America's Cup. The America's Cup race continues to this day and sports the oldest trophy in international sports. Commodore John Cox Stevens is interned in the crypt under Christ Church, just down the street though not seen in this image.
This is on Stevens Avenue looking north between John Street and Henry Street. None of the buildings in this image, with the exception of the house at the end of the street, are recognizable or perhaps even still standing. If it wasn't for the images in George Francy's book, I don't know that I would have been able to pin point where this image was taken.

Brooklyn DA Thompson Drops Extortion Case Against Samuel Kellner
Vos Iz Neias
March 7, 2014
Putting an end to the three-year-old case which he has called "botched" since its inception, Kings County DA Kenneth Thompson announced on Friday that neither of the witnesses in the extortion case against Samuel Kellner are "credible," and that his office plans to dismiss the charges.
"After a careful review of the evidence, we have concluded that the charges against Samuel Kellner must be dismissed. We've reached this conclusion because we do not believe that we can prove these charges at trial," said District Attorney Thompson in a statement.
The case became a hot button issue during last November's election, with Thompson offering harsh criticism of Kellner's prosecution, while former DA "Joe" Hynes stuck to his guns in insisting that Kellner had, in fact, tried to extort money from the man accused of groping his son.
Speaking to The JEWISH WEEK (http://bit.ly/1lbha75) on Thursday evening, the 52 year-old Kellner spoke cautiously about the impending end to his three-year ordeal, saying said that while he was grateful that case is finally over, the cost to him and his family has been monumental.
Kellner said that between his case and the fact that the verdict in Baruch Lebovits' molestation case was overturned, he has lost faith in the criminal justice system, and that only a full investigation into matter, as well as into the handling of the case by Hynes' office—-will bring closure.
"If, in the end," said Kellner, "they will investigate what happened here and go after the intimidators, it would mean that all of this tampering and intimidation would end, that these people no longer run the streets. And that is probably worth the whole pain and suffering of my indictment because I don't see any other way we could have accomplished this."
And if there is no further investigation by Thompson's office, then Kellner said, "Where is the government that is supposed to protect me? It would be very hard to justify that another father should go to the secular court, even with a [dispensation] from the rabbis. It will mean these people have won and it's over.And all of this pain and suffering from the last six years has been for no cause. I can't imagine how I will overcome it."
Reaction from Brooklyn's Jewish community has been swift, as Assemblyman Dov Hikind who attended the court hearings this morning said, "Since last year I have had great concern with regard to the integrity of the case against Sam Kellner and I called on Brooklyn's former District Attorney to dismiss the case, which had dragged on for too long.
I was pleased when Brooklyn's new District Attorney Ken Thompson appointed a new prosecutor to consider the facts in the case and now I am relieved that all charges against Sam have been dropped and this ordeal is finally over.
I am grateful, and our entire community is grateful, to Brooklyn's new District Attorney Ken Thompson, for righting this wrong."

Civic Futures
By Bryan Boyer
Get a group of innovative people together from a diverse set of cities and it's almost certain that no matter how different their respective hometowns may be, they will agree on one thing: opaque bureaucracies, NIMBYism, and other forms of inertia threaten to consume optimism about the future. Perhaps this explains the interest among urbanists in all things tactical. It's hard to worry about grand plans when pilots and pop-ups are the only things that can be realized. But what happens when the pilot is a success? What happens when a new idea and a successful experiment unlock the potential for action at a much larger scale?
In 2015, when Reimagining the Civic Commons was still taking shape, we at Dash Marshall were asked to develop a vision of how the city of Philadelphia might feel if the Civic Commons "won" and became the animating spirit for public spaces and public goods across the city. The result is A Possible Philadelphia, a short film set in the near future.
Breaking Down Then Building Up
We expanded the notion of the Civic Commons from spaces to all of the things owned in common or paid for by the city—every tool, truck, tree bed, and more. The starting point for this was asking ourselves what would happen if we thought of institutions as bundles of 'micro-assets' instead of singular entities. In the 20th century it was natural to think of an institution such as "school" as a monolithic thing, but for the civic commons we dissected the idea of school into its constituent elements.
For each of the pieces we imagined ways they might be made available to the people of Philadelphia to be recombined and repurposed. The total effect is to envision civic assets as a platform that empowers citizens to live, play, learn, and work in ways that are meaningful to them, even if those meaningful uses were not predicted in advance. We go into more depth on our background thinking in the article America Loves an Underdog on Medium.com.
Experiences that Imply Systems
Vignettes in the film bring to life the individual benefits of the Civic Commons. They show, for instance, how visitors to the park might find out about other things going on nearby, thereby introducing them to new experiences while increasing social mixing, or why a running trail might benefit from making room for small allotment gardens. As much as possible these are shown as tangible experiences.
But the city is about "we," not "me," so for each of the urban experiences in the film we also show glimpses of the systems that would enable this to happen at scale. Innovative uses and spaces are fun to dream up, but civic futures come to life when individual benefits are enabled by systems that work at urban scale. Incentives, contract templates, and job descriptions play an unusually glamorous role in A Possible Philadelphia because these and other 'invisibles' are where the real work of urban innovation happens.
Working Backwards
A Possible Philadelphia is an example of "jumping to the end," as noted designer Matt Jones puts it. At Dash Marshall we use film to jump to the end, help our partners refine their thinking about what kind of future they want, and then set about collaboratively developing the scaffolding needed to get there.
If you watch the film and come away with a pile of questions, then it's doing exactly what it was intended to do. This kind of speculative design work is not a prediction. Instead it is intended to be part inspiration and part provocation, with just enough detail to give you a sense of how things might actually work that it raises the next five questions.
What's Next
The future rarely evolves as we expect it to, so with this film now being two years old there are sure to be parts that feel out of sync with today's reality.
On the other hand, the vision of a city that fully embraces the Civic Commons is closer to being realized today than we could have imagined. Last June the City Council in Philadelphia approved Rebuild, a $300 million bond that will be used to improve parks and recreation centers city-wide. While the project makes its way through the usual bureaucracy and challenges, the initiative has 54% of the public behind it. That's enough to remind us that our civic future is about much more than pop-ups and one-offs.
Bryan Boyer is co-founder of Dash Marshall, a design studio helping people reinvent institutions and urban environments, preferably at the same time.
