Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
The Georgia Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division recently was recognized by the States Organization for Boating Access (SOBA) with the State Boating Access Program Excellence Award.
"Since 2007, our agency has been working on the Georgia Bass Trail, incorporating the construction of large capacity boat ramps through partnerships between local and state organizations," said Ted Will, assistant chief of fisheries. "These ramps provide not only increased and better access for all waterway users, but in many cases, provide an outstanding opportunity for local communities to attract large-scale tournaments and benefit the local area economically."
The Georgia Bass Trail, part of the larger Go Fish Georgia Initiative, has seen the installation of 14 ramps completed with the final two ramps in various stages of development. These 14 ramps include 68 boat ramp lanes, 3,500 parking lanes, and associated service piers.
These sites have been used to successfully host major events such as the FLW Forrest Woods Cup and BASS Elite Series competitions on multiple occasions.
SOBA is an organization devoted to the acquisition, development and administration of public recreational boating facilities nationwide. For more information, visit www.sobaus.org [1] .

Is there any code to add a float or integer value with a raster layer? I can easily do mathematical operations between two raster data. But I am unable to do the same between float or integer number and raster layer. For example if want to execute (256-band3), how can I execute?
Try the raster package in R. Something like:
If you have a copy of FME then you can use the RasterExpressionEvaluator transformer.
In this case (256-band3) the expression would be simply:
(FME labels bands as 0,1,2 rather than 1,2,3).
The nice thing is that it also allows IF statements, so you can work up to complex statements like:
This page on FMEpedia has a bunch of examples.
Try RasterCalc plugin for QGis.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.

Hope this combo isn't too big for NN3, please advise.
Also, settings for this combo at 17mm? I have gone thru the tutorials but wonder why a simple database isn't available to help achieve better results quicker...
Hope this combo isn't too big for NN3, please advise.
Also, settings for this combo at 17mm? I have gone thru the tutorials but wonder why a simple database isn't available to help achieve better results quicker...
it is easier to find the NPP than you think of. It you can't accomplish it, you wull find the remaining parts of pano making even more challenging.
YOu will need a T-adapter to extend the lens to NPP. You can also start from settings for EOS 20/30/40/50D.
We listen. We try harder.
First of all, you are welcome.
When you have gone through the database + the forum comments, you might have realized, that a lot of people ask for settings, get a lot of hints, but do not deliver their own results.
What does it mean to set up a "simple database" ? You have to buy the camera body, the lens, NN Products. And then you take your knowledge to test and get the results. In your spare time, might be you have a nice meal, a meeting with a nice lady, or watching a baseball match instead? Would you personally miss this instead of working out the "simple database"? If you pay for the costs, I will send you the sets immediately. This will be a pleasure for me.
Following up the market you will see a lot of changes, new camera bodies, lenses. We do not get information about which new model uses the same body with the same sensor and tripod mount positions in the body. Asking the support for NPP you will get the answer this is secret. Believe me, I tried this several times.
At least: what do you expect, a simple database? You can get this: Nick and Bill by all new equipments, test it and set this to a "simple database". And then you might order a "Plug and Play Version". How many dollars on top? Just imagine the cost of your own equipment. This might be delivered in a set when hundreds of thousands people buy an NN product. The community of people doing Panoramas is quite small compared to business in other branches.
And believe me, Nodal Ninja and Fanotec is the first company I personally know with a very quick response, trying to help with specified solutions for your problem and with quick response from the "guys' themselves.
Can you get a personal answer from the big boss of Toyota about people who died using their product because of faults?
Or any other simple question without paying for a hotline waiting an hour for response?
Sorry to say, I personally feel "fucked up" with this Plug and Play mentality.
Do not take this comment personally, I just feel it is time to set a comment for many people asking for a "simple database".
I myself like to buy, place, and on I go. Understanding this I took my private time to set up a "simple database". To get people to "Plug and Play" without searching for NPP's. But you have to test the settings for your own combination anyway. You will soon see the result when I have set up a website. But to get proofed results will take time. Plus, you have to recheck the result for your own combination anyway. Cause of all the possible differences in senor position, lens differences etc.
Be sure there are a lot of people why will try to help you. But you have to set up an "account" to help the nodal ninja family: main vink you have to place: to the questions: "Yes, I will send my personal settings.".
Go to this link, http://wiki.panotools.org/Entrance_Pupil_Database, measure "H" and "L1", send he measurements to the forum and be happy with your new product.
Feel free to ask any other question in the future.
Cheers and success,
I tend to agree with your comments Heinz.
You always have good information and I found the URL you provided interesting, but had to smile when I got down to the Sigma 8mm F4.0 EX, because this really sums up why there can be no "Simple Database".
I have been involved with camera calibrations for too many decades and the Nodal Point (entrance pupil, apparent pupil, centre of perspective, etc.) of a lens is of particular interest when using cameras for measurement (photogrammetry), but I can only measure the Nodal Point for lenses that I can lay my hands on when I have them and the time to spare.
If I worked in a camera shop which had no customers perhaps I could measure more, but this is not the case.
The problem with a "Simple Database" for the Nodal Point is that different lenses behave differently.
Some lenses, such as the Sigma 10-20mm, have a single Nodal Point for a set focal length which does not change with focusing, but others, especially fisheye lenses, do not, so where do you start?
If the Sigma 10-20mm is at the 20mm end the Nodal Point coincides with the gold ring, but at the 10mm end is 6mm back from the gold ring, so is it 3mm back from the gold ring at the 15mm setting?
I don't know, iI have not measured it, and there is no guarantee that relationship is linear.
I have put the results for some lenses, which illustrates the problem, on my site:
I hope this gives an insight into the complexity of the subject.
Best regards, Hugh.
I appreciate your comment.
I have read your articles, plus right now, I can imagine the time you spent in doing all this work. And I am happy and it helped me a lot personally, to meet people on this forum to share their enthusiasm on panorama photography and trying to help people like you.
So let's go on, trying to help newbies to get on the flow...and thank you Hugh, to try to explain what it means "to set up something like a simple database".
Why do I spend my spare time in setting up information? My job has nothing to do with theme. So as you explained no "profit".
Photography, and Panoramas for me personally has to do something with culture, education, "picking the moment and setting up a very special moment of whats going on around in the world". Watching and documenting a very special moment is nothing I can repeat with a "Lara Croft" game. Can you set it up with "Plug and Play"?" No. Without any basic knowledge about photography? No.
I personally adore guys like you, to spend to their private time to help "colleagues" to get on the flight, cause it takes a lot of time to learn about basics to be prepared to take good panos. But it is worth every second of a moment.
Thank you for your comments Heinz.
When I started out on Spherical Panos I found very little information on the Internet, so am happy to help encourage people to experiment with this fascinating subject and provide help to get them started, but I agree with your views and find that a lot of the fun is trying things out and the learning process in getting to the answer you want rather than an instant setup.
There is a lot to this subject and I am finding this forum a great way to learn from people like yourself, Wim and John, and of course Bill and Nick.
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Gr?ºssen, Hugh.

Caregivers On Call
WorkLife recently announced the inauguration of a program to provide in-home, back-up childcare services for Yale faculty, staff, and students. This program is the realization of one of the childcare initiatives outlined in a message to the community in November of 2005 and reflects the invaluable input and advice of the WorkLife Subcommittee on Child Care, which was convened in March.
Caregivers On Call, an established provider of back-up child care since 1991, now provides eligible members of the Yale community with up to 40 hours of services per household per year at subsidized rates. These services are intended to assist parents in arranging care for their children when their usual caregivers are not available, e.g., because of center or school closings or caregiver illnesses. Caregivers On Call was selected to provide back-up services because of its nationwide network of caregivers, its depth of experience, and its excellent reputation.
The University will provide substantial subsidies to the program, which will allow Caregivers On Call to offer a sliding scale, hourly rate to parents ranging from
$7-15/hour, depending upon the parents' Yale affiliation and income. Complete
details regarding the program and registration materials are available online at www.yale.edu/backupcare
For further information, please feel free to contact Yale's Child Care Coordinator, Susan Abramson, at 203-432-8069 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Ride throws a tough curve
|Gary Randall loads his 1968 BMW R50/2 on to a trailer after a breakdown in the Berkshires. Bud Wilkinson / Republican-American
Gary Randall, whose name has appeared frequently in RIDE-CT over the years as we rode near and far, died on Aug. 7 from head injuries sustained two days earlier in a crash on Route 202 in Litchfield. A day later, reminiscing on RIDE-CT.com about one of our riding rituals, I vowed to continue our weekly Sunday morning trek to Toymaker's Café in Falls Village for breakfast, but that hasn't happened.
Randall's death has sapped the fun from riding. A helmet-cam video, like the recent one showing some biker thugs in New York City attacking a family in an SUV, isn't necessary for me to recall the collision that took his life. The sequence is imprinted on my mind, as are the events and thoughts leading up to it.
He called on that Monday afternoon to say he was leaving work early and that we should go for a ride. We decided to go for dinner. After pulling into the parking lot at Popey's in Morris, though, we agreed that we weren't in the mood for a burger or hot dog. We then headed for Wood's Pit BBQ in Bantam, only to discover that it's closed on Monday.
We then concluded that our favorite dinner haunt, The Village in Litchfield, would satisfy our appetites. Gary was leading on his 1968 BMW R50/2, while I took the rear position in a staggered formation on my 2008 Suzuki DL 650 (V-Strom). About a mile before the accidednt, a gruesome premonition entered my mind: "Gary's going to die in a motorcycle accident."
I'd been behind Gary in 2010 when he'd had a bone-crushing accident on his 1946 Indian Chief on Route 202 between Bantam and Litchfield, a clear case of rider error. When a driver stopped to make a left turn at a car wash, Gary was looking in his rear view mirror and following too closely. Riding a vintage bike with less than stellar brakes, there was no way he could stop, so he swerved, and ended up going down.
While Gary wasn't a reckless rider — he was actually quite skilled in maneuvering his many antique bikes — he wasn't always focused on the road ahead or observant of the surrounding environment. This lack of "situation awareness" certainly raised the risk level every time he rode.
We were heading east when the SUV pulled from the parking lot of The Village Wine Cellar and into Gary's path. There was really no time for him to react. He tried to initiate a swerve, but the impact — the front tire of his motorcycle running into the front left of the SUV — was almost instantaneous. Gary weighed upwards of 250 pounds, yet got hurled like a bean bag into the oncoming lane. The half-helmet he wore, which was more decorative than protective, came off, presumably upon first contact. Having stopped quickly and run over to where he was, I saw that the top rear of his head was ripped open.
Within seconds people came to his aid. Emergency responders arrived quickly, followed by a Life Star helicopter, which took him to Hartford Hospital. Witnesses, myself included, gave statements to the state police, as did the driver of the SUV. If not for the on-scene support of David Gelerter, a Toymaker's Café regular who came upon the accident scene, it would have been tough holding it together.
That next Sunday evening, riders who knew him gathered at Toymaker's Café for a casual memorial, hosted by owners Ann and Greg Bidou. I was outside helping Ann pick flowers when Greg came outside with the phone in his hand. "There's a guy who wants to talk with you. It's the guy from the accident," he informed me. I took a deep breath and said, "Hello."
The voice at the other end was apologetic. He explained that he was "sick" over what had happened; that while he had seen me approaching, he hadn't seen Gary. He said the state trooper investigating the accident had already told him that he'd eventually be charged with a felony, something the trooper later told me. The conversation didn't last long, and I didn't want it to, either.
Monday will mark 10 weeks since the accident. It's still hard to believe that Gary won't be riding into my driveway on Sunday morning for our weekly breakfast sojourn. I'd listen for Gary in the distance and try to guess from the exhaust notes which one of his numerous vintage motorcycles that he'd be riding that day. Upon his arrival, we'd always debate which route to take to Toymaker's — scenic (through Milton) or direct (on Route 63).
Gary's death was so unnecessary and more-than-likely so preventable.. Had his headlight been illuminated, the driver of the SUV might have seen him against the dark background of trees. However, having old bikes with sketchy electrical systems, he preferred to ride without a light. Had he been wearing a reflective vest instead of being attired in all black atop a black motorcycle, the driver might have seen him. Had he been wearing a full-face helmet instead of a "skid lid," he might not have suffered fatal injuries.
Since Gary's death, friend Brian O'Neil has purchased a brightly-colored, armored riding jacket so as to be more visible to drivers. He also says he's more aware of motorcyclists no matter what they're wearing..
With the riding season coming to an end shortly, I'm hoping the winter layoff and a strong dose of PMS ("Parked Motorcycle Syndrome") will revive my interest in riding. If not, memories of riding, and all of the experiences with Gary, will suffice.

Be yourself. Don't dress for everyone else. Be confident. Fashion is an opportunity to make a first impression on people, but if you aren't comfortable with what you're wearing it doesn't matter how in style it is.
How do you describe your style?
Affordable chic.
What are your favorite pieces?
I like to pair classic foundation pieces like pencil skirts, a great pair of jeans, or a blazer with trendier pieces. However, the most important part of any outfit is the shoes!
Where is your favorite place to shop?
Anywhere! I never miss out on an opportunity to look for things I like because you never know where you'll find your next favorite piece of clothing. I have found things I love everywhere from Target to J. Crew, or one of the many boutiques Louisville has.
Who is your fashion icon, and why?
Icon is a pretty big word. I don't know that I could name just one person that I always look to. I have been very impressed with Kate Middleton's fashion choices, and I think Jennifer Aniston has great style (or maybe a great stylist). If I could combine their wardrobes into one, that would be ideal.
Do you have any fashion rules?
I joke that my life motto is, "I don't believe in flats." I only own two or three pairs, and I almost never wear them. Everyone looks better in heels. My cover photo on Facebook is proof of this motto!

Up next, we will learn "how to draw Craig", step by step. This snake has a personality all of his own. He thinks he is the gift to all, and the only thing that matters to him is the fact that he can turn into anything he wants because he is the master of disguise. Anyways, drawing Craig the snake will be the easiest lesson to tackle of the day. So get busy and be sure to leave some feedback. Adios people and enjoy.

The former system of Buff Bulletin and Administrative E-Memo had been around in some form since 1996. To current users, the plain-text presentation seemed dated and it had lost its traction with our internal audience. Perhaps more importantly, the system was not compliant with CAN-SPAM legislation, while the new communications streams are compliant with this law. To learn more about CAN-SPAM and its implications for Higher Education, OIT and UCOMM have authored a FAQ which can be found here: http://avcit.colorado.edu/node/26.
We can also send a targeted email for your organization. That email will come from your email address or group email address, and be sent with an email preferences category associated with your organization.
Administrative E-Memos can still be sent, and must be approved by a Vice Chancellor.
Colleges, schools, departments and programs can also get their own bulk email account, and send directly to their campus audiences. Contact Erin Frazier in Campus Communications for more information.

At the centre of a spherical continuous charge distribution with no external electric fields, the electric field is zero from symmetry arguments. But does the stress at the centre remain finite?
The electromagnetic stress would still be zero, yes, because you can calculate it from
$$\sigma_{i j} \equiv \epsilon_0 \left(E_i E_j - \frac{1}{2} \delta_{ij} E^2\right) + \frac{1}{\mu_0} \left(B_i B_j - \frac{1}{2} \delta_{ij} B^2\right)$$
At a point where $\vec{E} = 0$, and given that this is an electrostatic situation so $\vec{B} = 0$, all components of the stress tensor will be zero.
Quantities which might not be zero would be those which involve integrals of the electric field, for example. (Also the mechanical pressure - the diagonal components of the mechanical stress tensor - would be nonzero in practice, but I'm guessing that's not what you are asking about.)

am pulling my hair over this :( spent 10 hrs but nothing came out
I read this thread http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?pid=198128
but it didn't help much.
I'm running a local dev App Engine server ( localhost:8080 )
iframe app
so I have a couple of problems.
1) on safari 4.0.4, the publish story dialog comes up nicely with all images/data/action_links. upon posting a story (or skipping), the dialog goes blank and wouldn't close.
2) I tested the same code on firefox 3.5.8, the dialog comes up with all images/data/action_links, but then the whole thing freezes.
Clicking anywhere on the dialog doesn't help at all. If i'm patient enough and click "publish", I have to wait for abt 10 seconds before the dialog says "story is published". then it freezes. (clicking on skip doesn't make a difference).
btw, there is no "button clicking effect" : ie: the buttons don't look like they "sink down" upon clicking.
I checked the firefox memory using the command "top" on the terminal, it all seems okay, no spike in CPU processes ( i could open other firefox tabs and work on them)
My futile attempts at solving the problems...
1) so i thought, hmm could this be because of local dev (localhost) problem? I uploaded the code to the production server, the same thing happens.
2) I tried an older firefox (3.1) and the same problem persisted ( the freezing )
3) I noticed that i kind of used 2 different FB features ( Connect and XFBML). The Connect Feature I used in the PostStory function. The XFBML feature I used before the tag.
So I thought, hmm ... I tried replacing the FB_RequireFeatures["Connect"] feature with FB_RequireFeatures["XFBML"]. nothing changed. I still can't close the story dialog.
4) Is there a possibility that I didn't connect to xd_receiver.htm properly?
my xd_receiver.htm is stored in my folder /media/fbconnect
in my app.yaml
- url: /fbconnect
static_dir: media/fbconnect
so i thought a connection has to be established with xd_receiver.htm. any way I can test that?
here're all the codes:
<script type="text/javascript">
//post story function
function PostStory() {
//init facebook
FB_RequireFeatures(["Connect"], function() {
FB.Facebook.init('my_app_key', "/fbconnect/xd_receiver.htm");
FB.ensureInit(function() {
var message = 'the message';
var attachment = {
'name': 'a simple app to send gifts',
'href': 'http://apps.facebook.com/my_app_name', 'caption': '{*actor*} sent u something',
'description': 'some description',
"media": [{ "type": "image", "src": "http://bit.ly/105QYr", "href": "http://bit.ly/105QYr"}]
//action links can only be seen AFTER the feed is published
var action_links = [{ 'text': 'Send him/her a gift back!', 'href': 'http://somelink.com'}];
FB.Connect.streamPublish(message, attachment, action_links, null, "Share the gift with your friends", callback, false, null);
function callback(post_id, exception) {
//alert('Wall Post Complete');
just before the end of the /body tag, i have this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function callFBInit() { FB_RequireFeatures( ["XFBML"], function(){ FB.Facebook.init("my_app_key", "/fbconnect/xd_receiver.htm"); } ); } callFBInit();
btw, my xd_receiver.htm contains:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

hope you guys can help out. thx


text: How about a cool lesson on a tribal design for the Halloween season. I showed you guys how to draw a tribal pumpkin face a few days ago, and now I want to show you "how to draw a tribal ghost step by step". The ghost came out really cool I think, and I was originally going to color it in red with the black background. After thinking and looking at the finished colored image I decided that it would probably look better colored in white because that is what ghost typically look like. Although Halloween is just around the corner there is so many different things that can be drawn for the season. The tribal ghost that you will be getting a lesson on is going to labeled intermediate because some of the lines and shapes may seem a bit complex to a novice artist. Remember, when you are drawing this tribal ghost you can choose to go on a different tribal art path to complete your drawing. You can experiment a bit, or you can just follow the steps verbatim the choice is yours. Well I guess that is all I can really say about this tutorial on "how to draw a tribal ghost". I will be back later with more drawing fun so stay tuned n for more lessons coming your way. Peace peeps and happy drawing!

9 Innocent Google Searches That Get Porn On the First Page
Some say the internet is a cesspool of depravity, where even searching for an innocent phrase like "water sports" will return filth. But it can't be that bad, right?
Using Google Image Search, we tried some common and completely non-dirty words with the "SafeSearch" filter on and then off. What we found left us shocked, disgusted and highly, highly aroused.
To help our readers avoid at-work-arousal, we decided to censor the naughty bits with a disapproving nun.
God hates your boner.
Not that we should need to censor anything, since we're only searching innocent words like ...
#9. "Eat"
Safe Filter On:
Right away, we saw how the Google SafeSearch feature is basically a dam holding back a flood of depravity. For instance, when searching for "eat" with SafeSearch on, everything looks pretty clean. Our first result is a miniaturized version of a McDonald's value meal which, surprisingly, still contains over 1000 calories. The most tantalizing picture is one of a couple sharing an intimate moment at an expensive restaurant.
We can only imagine that a seedy motel and a milk maid's uniform are in their near future. Now let's turn off SafeSearch...
Filter Off:
Whoa! Alrighty. We've still got our value meal as our first image, but the very next one is a woman in the middle of an ass cheek sandwich.
You think you're out of the woods with a tasteful 50s toddler eating, and them POW! There's our childhood hero, Elmo, partaking in some carnal pleasure.
The next row of pics kicks off with a wide open panorama of vagina.
Thanks, internet. We searched for the word "eat," and in the top 10 results we saw more genitals eaten than food. Not a promising start. Or very promising. We're not here to judge.
#8. "The Great Outdoors"
Safe Filter On:
Why, a search for "The Great Outdoors" gives us a poster for the family friendly 1988 comedy starring Dan Ackroyd and John Candy! What could be more wholesome than that?
The raciest image in the top 10 is a model in a one-piece swimsuit advertising Budweiser. Surely this search phrase is more than safe for, say, the young Cub Scout in your home looking for camping sites. So let's take the filter off...
Filter Off:
First is still John Candy and Dan Ackroyd, second is some generic mountains. Then, the internet having dispensed of all non-porn images of the great outdoors, gives us a full frontal naked lady as the third result.
In the second row, there's John and Dan again, right next to an equally naked lady bending over (thanks, sluttymexicans.com!). In the top 10 results for "The Great Outdoors" the internet has delivered every inch of the female anatomy, and the boobs outnumber the mountains 6 to 2.
#7. "Sunny"
Safe Filter On:
Ah, just what we'd expect. First pic for "sunny" is a nice looking beach with smooth sand, pleasant palm trees, a nice ocean view and no other people around. Beaches and the sun take up most of the results, in fact... but not all. For Sunny is a woman's name, and this is the internet.
In the first row of the safe results we still get this "frog-sunny" picture of a half naked woman squatting like a frog with words tattoed on her ass, which makes us ponder whether this is porn or a new amphibian fetish (which we will call Phibies). There is also a wallpaper image of porn star Sunny Leone which gives us an early hint about what we'll see once the safe search is off.
Filter Off:Shove a dildo up our butts, we were right.
Speaking of dildos, it appears that Sunny and her friend Roxy above are enjoying one of their courses at the "lesbian training blog."
Sunny Leone makes another appearance in the results for wearing lingerie that is less revealing than what she had on in the safe filter wallpaper. Also note that the Phibie picture has moved up a few spots. It may not be long before we start hearing about Pond Parties.
#6. "Small"
Safe Filter On:
Ah, now we're surely in a no-porn zone. A generic adjective like "small" has an infinity of non-naked possibilities. Sure enough, with SafeSearch on we get intestines, cars, fonts, a guy on a morgue slab and two women with the last name Small.
There is something else from this search that is also small: our hope for seeing any titties.
Filter Off:
One breast, two breasts, three breasts, four. Five breasts, six breasts, seven breasts, whore. In the first six results for this random, bland word we've got four naked women, an odd number of breasts and a picture of a small dick. Everyone wins! Except for the guy with the miniscule manhood.
#5. "Big"
Safe Filter On:
Well, "small" worked out so well, we might as well go the other way. A lot of pictures of the ocean and waves, for some reason (because the ocean is... big?). Big game, big bang, big oil, and the smallest hint of a scantily clad woman in the second row.
Filter Off:We were worried with this one. There's a lot of ways "big" can go wrong on the internet. So let's just click the button...
Wow. This ... this may be the holy grail of unintentional porn. Everything you need to know about the internet is displayed in the first five image results for "big":
Big Tits
Big Booty
Big Tits
Big Dick
It's like the first row is having a big, horizontal orgy up there, and none of the 700-lb women we feared were invited. Scroll down the page and you've got "Big Hooters" and "Big Butts" and, well, let's just say there's an extreme close-up from sexylabia.com.
Okay, we're starting to think any word we type in that search box will get us a porn-splosion. Maybe if we just start making up words...

Street Characters Tread Fuzzy Legal Ground
For years, New York City officials struggled to free Times Square of prostitutes and porn. The family-friendly tourist haven that replaced the seedy plaza introduced a milder menace: street performers dressed as popular children's characters.
The arrest Sunday of an allegedly unruly man dressed as Cookie Monster, the beloved blue creature from "Sesame Street," prompted public comments Tuesday from three of the city's top officials: the mayor, the police commissioner and the City Council speaker. All agreed there might be little recourse to curb the costumed tip-seekers.
"It's very challenging legally because dressing up in a costume and walking around Times Square is, we believe, a First Amendment-protected activity," said Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a mayoral candidate. "If someone has a suggestion about how we could do that legally, we would love to hear it."
From the Archives
The ranks of such performers have seemed to swell in recent years. An informal census by the Times Square Alliance, a business group, counted 52 costumed characters clustered in the plaza on Saturday evening.
The performers dress to resemble popular icons and entertainment figures, posing for pictures in exchange for a few dollars in tips. But recent incidents have raised the profile of badly behaved characters.
In one widely reported case last June, a man dressed as Elmo from "Sesame Street" shouted an anti-Semitic rant before being taken into police custody. In December, a man dressed as the Mario character from Nintendo Co. videogames was arrested for allegedly groping a woman.
The arrest Sunday of Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, a Cookie Monster performer from Queens, came after he allegedly pushed a toddler and swore at his mother in a tip dispute. He faces three criminal charges; his lawyer couldn't be reached Tuesday.
When Ms. Quinn was asked about what should be done, she sought to protect the good name of Cookie Monster from the performers who inhabit the role on city streets. "Let's not call them by their costume names, so to speak," she implored reporters at a news conference.
The performers work in a legal gray area, without permission from the companies that control the characters. Sesame Workshop, which owns the rights to Elmo, Cookie Monster and other stars of the long-running children's TV show, said it hasn't authorized any street performers to wear its costumes.
A representative said the company is trying to figure out what it can do to "ensure fulfilling engagement with our characters."
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Tuesday that a strategy of ticketing performers lacking proper tax documents came to an end after court challenges. He said the number of characters on the streets grew afterwards.
While street performance has been a fixture in Times Square, the costumed crowd is a recent phenomenon, said Tim Tompkins, president of the Alliance.
"It was really over last summer where it went from a handful to maybe 50," he said. "If we don't address it, we may have 100 by the start of summer."
Concern over characters came after an incident reported by a colleague. "It started, frankly, when a female member of my staff said that she was walking through crowded Times Square and Elmo patted her on the backside," Mr. Tompkins said.
The fuzzy red character is the most popular, with eight found in the group's census. The group has been pushing both city officials and the companies that own the rights to try to find some way to regulate them.
Amy Adler, a New York University law professor, said the key to legally curbing the performers is to make sure restrictions are aimed at barring harassment and fraud, not speech. "You want to make sure it's content-neutral," she said. "Nor can you target them because you say, 'We disapprove of Sesame Street.' "
On Tuesday, some performers tried to distance themselves from the recent arrest.
The incident "puts a very bad image on us—somebody going after a kid just for a $2 or $3 tip," said 37-year-old Eric Magangi, a nursing student from Brooklyn who also portrays Cookie Monster. He said he makes up to $200 per day.
A man dressed as Batman argued that characters are the "life of Times Square."
"Look," he added, "this is freedom, you understand?"

In Axler's book on Linear Algebra he writes ($\mathbb{F}$ is here either $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$):
The scalar multiplication in a vector space depends upon $\mathbb{F}$. Thus when we need to be precise, we will say that $V$ is a vector space over $\mathbb{F}$ instead of saying simply that $V$ is a vector space. For example, $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a vector space over $\mathbb{R}$, and $\mathbb{C}^n$ is a vector space over $\mathbb{C}$.
What is actually meant by $\mathbb{R}^n$ being a vector space over $\mathbb{R}$ and how can one verify that it is? What are all the implications of this? Is it just that any scalar multiplication in $\mathbb{R}^n$ depends upon numbers in $\mathbb{R}$?
To me, $\mathbb{R}^n$ feels larger than $\mathbb{R}$, so I find the wording, that one is over the other, hard to digest...

Product Description
The Bettinardi counterbalance models are offered as another alternative to the anchored putting stroke. The purpose of our counterbalanced putters is to move the overall balance point of the club closer to the hands of the player. The weight is added by extending the shaft and grip by 3 inches which adds 42 additional grams. We then increase the putter head by the same amount, 42 grams to 395 grams, in essence countering the weight on each end of the putter. This weighting technique boosts the club's overall moment of inertia (MOI), so that it swings and feels more stable than ever. The three models available in counterbalance are the BB1 for traditionalists, the BB32 for mallet lovers, and for those looking for the most forgiving head we suggest the BB55, a distinctive MOI putter.
Weight: 395 grams
Standard Length: 38"
Material: 6061 Aircraft Grade Aluminum
Finish: Champagne Bronze Anodized
Grip: Red WINN 17" (135 grams)
Headcover: BB Series Red/White/Blue
Dexterity: Right Handed/Left Handed

The U.S. Sisters & the Holy See
Why hasn't Pope Francis stepped in to get the Vatican off the nuns' backs? After all, he has said he wants a more collegial church, in keeping with the vision of the Second Vatican Council. He urges priests and bishops to focus on encounter and outreach. He talks about leadership roles for women.
And yet the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's 2012 "assessment" of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious stands, and the LCWR—composed of the heads of some 80 percent of U.S. sisters—is still under orders to reform its ways to the satisfaction of the CDF. If Francis really wants a less authoritarian, more mission-focused church, shouldn't he have called this whole thing off already?
The fact that he hasn't, and the scolding the LCWR took from CDF head Cardinal Gerhard Müller in April, has led some to grumble that Francis is all talk. But to wish for the pope to cut short a process that began under his predecessor is to wish for him to play the autocrat, albeit on the side of the angels. Out of shrewdness, indifference, or agreement with the nuns' critics, Francis seems inclined to let the negotiations continue. And the awkward conversation between the LCWR and the CDF may turn out to be just the kind of encounter the church needs.
Laurie Brink, OP, suggested as much in a 2007 address to the LCWR [.pdf], in which she acknowledged the serious divisions between hierarchy and nuns: "Until we as congregations of women religious initiate a process of reconciliation with our ecclesiastical brothers," she said, "we cannot hope to have much of an impact elsewhere." Ironically, the CDF cited Brink's talk as a reason for its crackdown. Still, then-prefect Cardinal William Levada promised the mandated reform would begin with a "personal encounter" between his office and the accused, "in a spirit of mutual respect and collaboration." The sisters have tried to take him at his word.
The question is whether the parties can have a respectful, collaborative relationship, given that the paternalism that rankles the sisters and their many supporters is, in Rome, the proper order of things. In the view of the CDF, bishops are always presumed to be acting correctly and in good faith, and the sisters are expected to take their cues entirely from them. Women's religious communities have a more expansive view of their vocations. Moreover, they know bishops do not always act wisely or in good faith. Recall that in 2011, the U.S. bishops' Committee on Doctrine issued a critique of Elizabeth Johnson's book Quest for the Living God. The tone was hostile and hyperbolic—Johnson's work, the bishops claimed, "completely undermines the Gospel and the faith of those who believe in that Gospel"—and the arguments grossly distorted what she had written.
Müller may not know that; he does, however, know that the U.S. bishops criticized Johnson "because of the gravity of the doctrinal errors in [her] writings," and so he interprets the LCWR's decision to give her an award at its August assembly as an "open provocation against the Holy See." He presumes both that the bishops' critique of Johnson was justified and that the sisters are acting in bad faith in honoring her. In fact, he insists, "there is no other interpretive lens, within and outside the church, through which the decision to confer this honor will be viewed." It is hard to be hopeful about any exchange that begins with one side declaring that there are no valid perspectives besides its own.
The American sisters' response to the investigation has been "humble, but not submissive...truthful, but gentle and absolutely fearless," as Pat Farrell, OSF, put it in her 2012 LCWR address. It could be that the group now wishes to honor Johnson to spite the bishops. But given their deliberate avoidance of open provocation thus far, it seems more likely that their decision to "recognize and thank [her] for modeling extraordinary leadership" is a sincere expression of admiration for the graceful way she has responded to the assault on her good name.
American women religious draw their remarkable strength in part from a half-century's experience living out the vision of Vatican II in their own communities. "The participative structures and collaborative leadership models we have developed have been empowering, life-giving," Farrell reminded the LCWR. "These models may very well be the gift we now bring to the church and the world." I hope so. I do want the CDF to get off the sisters' backs. But I also want bishops and sisters to be able to work together. Appeals to authority alone won't get us there. Intentionally or not, Francis is giving us all a chance to find out whether we can work through the messiness that comes with a culture of encounter.

The nuns were made to answer questionnaires. Where are the results?
The nuns were forced to admit visitators to their convents, provide them with food, shelter, offices, and computers, and submit to being observed and questioned by them. Where are the results?
American nuns gave their lives to the Church, and now, instead of being allowed to enjoy their retirement, they are investigated and calumniated.
We still don't even know how many nuns there are in American convents. The statistics have been worthless for decades. We still see ludicrous numbers like 50,000. (More like 15,000, imho. If nuns were listed by name in the Official Catholic Directory, as priests are, there would be an answer at long last to that question.)
I read a lot of books about nuns and women's religious communities. Nearly all are independently published, of course, because the publishing conglomerates are not interested in convent histories. The books are fascinating. (Commonweal never reviews these self-published books.)
A recent one, Monastic Springs, by Sr. Paula Howard, a Benedictine Sister at Mt. St. Scholastica, has several pages on the "unprecedented 'apostolic visitation.'"
From that: the visitation "came as surprise, was inadequately communicated, and lacked clarity. No one seemed to know what prompted it or what purpose it would serve since there was to be NO REPORT (emphasis mine) back to the communities on the results."
For information on obtaining a copy of the book which is not available on Amazon:
Most of us, I'm sure, have known a flaky nun or two, but mainly they've been remarkably generous and wise women of faith. Unfortunately, I suspect that Pope Francis won't be much of a help to them. He is, after all, an Argentinian, a South American male and that often spells male chauvinism. I've seen him quoted twice talking in stereotypical terms about women. Once he told a group of nuns who were worried about the value of their vocation, "Don't worry. Your're not old maids". What a patronizing thing to say to the nuns, not to mention the insult to old maids. On another occasion he said, "If you do such and such you'll be like mothers-in-law, and that's not good". That leaves nuns and young married woman, I guess, as being the only women with a modicum of sense.
It doesn't bode well for the nuns. He just doesn't seem to understand the depth of the feminist revolution. Or maybe there hasn't been one in Argentina.
@ Ann Olivier:
"I've seen him quoted twice talking in stereotypical terms about women."
You mean kinda like this?: "He is, after all, an Argentinian, a South American male and that often spells male chauvinism."
I have said it before, and I will say it again: for this mess, no one, IMO, is blameless -- not the sisters, and certainly not the CDF. And don't even get me started on certain American bishops (gah!).
Despite it all, everyone would have to agree that the only way to move forward is to dialogue, dialogue and dialogue, but for such dialoguing to really work, a hefty dose of humilty will be needed.
Sadly though, there doesn't seem to be an ounce of humility left on either part. For they are still arguing and counter-arguing, criticizing and getting defensive. Lather, rinse, repeat, ad infinitum.
And to be honest, it's become tiresome. Just reading about them is immensely tiring and I cannot imagine what those in the thickest of it all must feel.
To Maria:
To say the nuns do not have "an ounce of humility left" reveals how little you know about nuns.
Just another crude and uninformed jab at women who gave their lives to instructing the ignorant. Now the ignorant pay them back on message boards.
Müller may not know that; he does, however, know that the U.S. bishops criticized Johnson "because of the gravity of the doctrinal errors in [her] writings," and so he interprets the LCWR's decision to give her an award at its August assembly as an "open provocation against the Holy See." He presumes both that the bishops' critique of Johnson was justified and that the sisters are acting in bad faith in honoring her. In fact, he insists, "there is no other interpretive lens, within and outside the church, through which the decision to confer this honor will be viewed." It is hard to be hopeful about any exchange that begins with one side declaring that there are no valid perspectives besides its own.
Agree. It's totally one-sided. There have been various stories in media about the "recent" surge of violence against girls and women. But abuse of women and girls by men and boys is not new. This particular manifestation, the persecution of nuns by inquisitor bishops, is not new, either. Those who are clueless about nuns, the history of convents, etc., should do some reading.
For anyone interested in learning more about the history of women religious (as well as their current state), this link will give you some starting points.
@ Gerelyn:
And it is the very people like you with your very own "crude and uninformed jab" at anyone who does not share your particular view on this matter that just keep making things worse and worse.
It's really quite sad and tiresome.
You've used the word "tiresome" twice this morning. If reading about nuns is "immensely tiring," why did you read this blog post AND comment on it? Are you hoping to discourage others from reading about nuns?
As to imagining that "the very people like" me "just keep making things worse and worse"? Delusional.
@ Gerelyn:
I read and post comments because I love nuns. The Salesian Sisters at my church are beyond wonderful. And also, because I too want the bishops and sisters to figure out on their own a way out of this sad mess.
It is not the sisters but the "I am right and you are wrong" kind of divisive rhetoric which, btw, you seem to embody, that I find tiresome, which I believe does nothing to help move things forward.
But, enough about you. You don't seem to know how to have a conversation with another without resorting to name-calling, and ain't nobody got time for that.
Another odd comment. At 7:16, you said to another poster:
I have said it before, and I will say it again: for this mess, no one, IMO, is blameless -- not the sisters, and certainly not the CDF. And don't even get me started on certain American bishops (gah!).
Sadly though, there doesn't seem to be an ounce of humility left on either part. For they are still arguing and counter-arguing, criticizing and getting defensive. Lather, rinse, repeat, ad infinitum.
And to be honest, it's become tiresome. Just reading about them is immensely tiring and I cannot imagine what those in the thickest of it all must feel.
I was not part of that "conversation," but I'm always wary of whatever follows "to be honest."
To say you "love nuns" after claiming there's not "an ounce of humility left," is . . . strange.
For me the operative sentence in MWO piece is:
The question is whether the parties can have a respectful, collaborative relationship, given that the paternalism that rankles the sisters and their many supporters is, in Rome, the proper order of things.
I really don't think a relationship and dialogue based on respect and collaboration is even possible at this time.
Papa Francesco for all his very welcomed "humble" approach still is a creature of the clerical culture - along with all that Argentineans machismo - which created him. When it comes to trying to understand and communicate with religious women, like all hierarchs, Papa Francesco is a "stranger in a strange land."
I have never met a priest that was not encouraged or motivated to his vocation if not by his mother. I have often speculated that perhaps one of the major factors in the precipitous drop of men in the priesthood in recent decades is that priests became increasingly unable to psychologically maintain their vocations as their mothers have died-off and/or withheld their approval of the vocation choice of younger men in recent years.
Priests have always seemed to me to either be living out their lives in order to obtain their mother's approval, or in reaction against an overbearing intrusion into their personal space.
Once when I was with the SF review board, we were trying to pin down now Cardinal Levada as to just exactly when was he going to initiate in writing the formal process of suspending one of his more egregious perpetrator priests.
As one of the female members of the board tactfully and respectfully, but persistently, attempted with great difficulty to hold Levada to his own verbal decisions to remove this pastor by walking him through his calendar setting dates and deadlines, Levada suddenly looked up from his leather-bound appointments book with its satin, multicolored ribbon-markers, his face a full scarlet, he barely spit out through a Nixon-like tight, toothy smile, jaw clinched: "I'm not used to arranging my calendar under supervision."
Needless to say, eyebrows around the room rose perceptibly. I remember locking eyes across the conference table with a retired SF policewomen acknowledging to each other that we had seen the same thing: Levada was livid that a woman was holding him accountable and forcing him to take actions to which he had previously only given lip service - apparently a hierarch's worst nightmare.
That incident helped me to conclude that hierarchs in general and all but a few priests have a deep-seeded, primitive enduring fear of all things feminine. For me it explains a lot of the feckless pastoral leadership from the hierarchs over the last four decades where they have driven the church over the proverbial evolutionary cliff.
Is this fear of the feminine in priests and hierarchs an artifact of the early childhood development of these men? Did seminary training infused these psychological complexes in men, supporting it with the complete mythos of paternalistic clericalism?
We can't and don't know for sure. But Catholics had better sort this out fast in the short term, or we're headed for extinction just like the feudal hierarchs.
I always thought my sainted sixth-grade teacher, Sister Mary Adelaide, was referring to the BVM when she told us that: "You can't be a Christian without a woman in your life." Now, I'm not so sure?
Agree, Jim. If I hire someone to clean my house, I'm not interested in how S/HE thinks it should be done. It's my way or the highway.
And agree about mothers. I remember a case where a priest ran away with a woman, leaving a mess behind. Another priest, after hearing that the first priest had run off, said to me, "I'd leave tomorrow, if I could."
Why can't you?
"It would kill my mother."
Jim and Gerelyn --
I agree that there ar a goodly number of priests who seem to be bound to their mothers in a psychologically debilitating way. JP II and the others who push the "co-redemptrix" heresy are extreme examples of this. No doubt it's a classic reaction formation in many of them -- fear of women leads to over-valuing one of them..
Indeed, this is the kind of dialogue that the church needs! The purification of sacramental theology from patriarchal ideology may be the most urgent and greatest need in the church today. Let us pray that the CDF process with the LCWR may become an opportunity to have such a dialogue.
LCWR's decision to give her an award at its August assembly as an "open provocation against the Holy See.
Given that Johnson is at the center of the issue, it certainly demonstrates at least a stunning lack of etiquette on the part of the LCWR to honor her. They obviously could have waited until there was a better understanding before honoring her. Its like throwing gasoline on the fire.
I believe that there is a sound empirical basis for the MWO thesis that the current "negotiation" provides a rare opportunity to tunnel through the seemingly impentrable barrier that is the presumptive stance of the CDF. This 2006 article http://hbr.org/2005/03/want-collaboration-accept-and-actively-manage-con... from the Harvard Business Review highlights the necessity of learning to manage conflict not banish it.
I can believe and even anticipate that in their communities since Vatican II that many sisters have gained skills and experience managing conflict while sustaining collaboration. Certainly doing social work amidst the Urban Poor provides ample opportunity to put such "dress rehearsal" to work.
It is certainly the case that men like Levada are not accustomed to being held accountable by those of us not ordained; but determination has gotten the sisters this far and I can certainly hope that (and in fact have no doubt) they will carry on in their Shackleton like test of persistence and self-confidence until some permeability appears or more promisingly that shell cracks altogether.
thank you for your cogent posts.
I think the bishops around the world are scared to death of the American sisters. They are God's tigresses and do not suffer fools gladly. Around the worl, the work of the church only gets done because a sister or cloistered nun does it. When a sister speaks out, bishops tremble, tremble, tremble. Thus the negative reaction, especially from cultures who think women should stay in their "place." As this develops further, the whole church may tremble...
astounding. ...nuns are not listed by name in the Official Catholic Directory?
well well. I'm sure it's for efficiency reasons - perhaps they don't own many.
or perhaps it's for economic reasons - or perhaps it's to keep the nuns in the dark about each other.
or perhaps it's tradition & mandate since first publication date is to only print the lords and not the serfs.
or perhaps it's to keep people from reaching out for witnesses years later after PTSD has worn off
perhaps it's to prevent nun-raiding by rival parishes
perhaps it's so they don't violate their vows of obscurity
perhaps they are more easily governed that way.
but really, why? they must not be Official Catholics.
The only hopeful movements I know of in in the Catholic Church are the St. Eligio Society, Gen Verde, and Focolare. Gen Verde is made up of women. Focolare was founded by and must be headed by a lay woman. Focolare and Gen Verde so not challenge the hierarchs but they do their work steadily and suversively of truculent authority. They actually put into practice the rule of love, something that many priests and bishops cannot do because they are simply too rude and often too crude. I do not cliam to practice this rule, only that I am amazed that Focolare has managed to get so many people - mainly lay perople, Catholic and non-Catholic - to do so. To me this is miraculous.
A lot of this nuns-vs-Rome contention is really about bad manners. If these bishops are overl influenced by mon then their moms failed to instill good manners in them. The bishops act without human grace. The nuns try to act graciously without being dorrmats.
Would you ientrus your child to these inquisior bishops for tarining in good manners?
I'm pretty sure the opriginal reason was pragmatic, the sheer number of nuns. This is obviously no longer the case but the practice is now ingrained.
Experiential argument is always threatening to people who don't have any resume except politics. Not real gratifying to plead your case with failed leadership. I wish the sisters a good outcome because the church is supposed to be a meritocracy.
Wow, CS @5:23.
Great one.

"I love this little town," says David Young to his wife, Lorie, while they pass through Taylorsville on their way to the lake in the late 1990s. David owns a bakery in Louisville, but can't help envisioning his future in the small Spencer County town. There are no buildings for sale on Main Street, but Young doesn't lose hope — Taylorsville is just his cup of tea.
The Better Business Bureau is warning citizens not to fall for a scam claiming they are the recipient of free airline tickets.
"Consumers across the country are receiving mailings indicating that they have won two round-trip tickets from US Airlines. Another similar letter indicates that one can redeem a travel voucher for two round-trip, airline tickets," according to a news release from the BBB. "This letter also contains what appears to be a check but says 'Must Be Redeemed for travel certificate,' near the bottom."

I'm playing mini-ninja on my pc. I was sailing on the ninja hat boat and successfully caught my first fish. However, when I tried catching again I am unable to do so.
when I'm trying to fish again he just puts out the rod as if he is fishing and waits but there is no bait on the rod. So the fish don't come. Any idea how to fish again? Do we need to find bait again or what? Or is it that he won't bait as long as he has "1 sushi" in his inventory?

5 Celebrity Wikipedia Entries They Clearly Wrote Themselves
#2. Bruce Willis
There are many winding paths a man can follow to greatness. He could build an orphanage, or perhaps write a symphony. But there is only one man in the history of history to have achieved greatness by screaming "yipee-ki-aye-ay motherfucker" and pushing Professor Snape out of a window. That man was this man:
"Yipee-ki-aye-ay motherfucker!"
Bruce Willis. Now, as we ease ourselves into yet another unnecessarily detailed Wikipedia article, we find that perhaps this one is not so wonky after all. It's just "Early Life" this, and "Career" that, and it seems, all in all, to be quite unremarkable. That is, at least until we stumble into "Personal Life," and find this little baby:
"In early 2006, Willis, who usually lives in Los Angeles, moved into an apartment located in the Trump Tower in New York City.[30] In 2007 he purchased a condominium at 220 Riverside Boulevard at Trump Place."
Yes, the man's current residence is on Wikipedia, and if that wasn't written be a lonely Bruce Willis, it may be time for him to change the locks. If it was a lonely Bruce, than let's hope it found him some company. Perhaps it does add a nice personal touch, but what's next? Phone numbers? PIN numbers? Will the madness ever stop?
"Yipee-ki-aye-ay motherfucker!"
The answer is no. The madness will never stop, because:
"In Tokyo, Japan, Willis was named honorary chief of the cyberterrorism task force by the National Public Safety Commission on June 12, 2007. Kensei Mizote, the head of the commission, told Willis to "lead the world to create a safer society."
This leaves us all a little confused, and more than a little queasy. It seems hard to imagine that the above could be anything other than the rambling writings of Willis himself, after a particularly convincing Die Hard-induced dream. However, if the "cyberterrorism task force" is an actual thing, and Bruce Willis is in charge, we can only assume that his job is to keep an eye on the Internet and beat the living shit out of it, should it get a little ornery. Maybe even throw it out a window.
"Yipee-ki-aye-ay motherfucker!"
Fast Fact!
Yes, just like everyone else on this excruciating list, Bruce Willis has been busy churning out the albums. It all started in the year of 1987, with The Return of Bruno (which included the hit single "Respect Yourself").
Then, there was If It Don't Kill You, It Just Makes You Stronger in 89, and, of course, a greatest hits collection in 2001.
Believe it or not, it's an actual thing.
#1. Hulk Hogan
Really, what is there to say about the Hulkster? A freaking lot, judging by the astounding length of his Wikipedia entry.
Should you, out of curiosity or some other strange compulsion, copy and paste this monstrosity into Microsoft Word, you'll be rewarded with 30 pages of spectacular information that will, under no circumstances, serve you any use whatsoever. Here's a heaping spoonful of knowledge:
" Hogan was portrayed as a real-life superhero while reaching out to young fans. The consummate role model, he was named the most requested celebrity of the 1980s for the Make-a-Wish Foundation children's charity. As a result, Hogan transformed the business into a sports entertainment spectacle that appealed to prime-time audiences of all ages and backgrounds."
Pictured: a real-life superhero.
So, the lesson here is that if you thought Hulk Hogan was just some wrestler, you were stupid. You were really, really stupid, because Hogan is the consummate role model, and he probably healed every one of those dying kids with his bare hands. Yes, we could all take a page from Hulk's book. But not even a superhero of Hogan's might can last forever, as he was eventually defeated (albeit with a little help from a fireball):
"The hard-fought bout came to its close when a "Japanese photographer" (actually a disguised Harvey Wippleman) got on the apron and distracted Hogan, before shooting some sort of fireball out of the camera and into Hogan's face.[52] This was followed by Yokozuna hitting a leg drop on Hogan for the pin.[52][81] After his victory, Yokozuna proceeded to give Hogan a Banzai Drop amidst the crying children and cursing adults.[52]"
We can still taste the tears.
Everyone remembers what they were doing the day Hulk Hogan was tragically defeated before his time, and the author of this piece does a commendable job of setting the scene of that fateful day and hard-fought bout. The crying children. The cursing adults. We may never know the answer as to how exactly Hogan's mustache survived that treacherous fireball-to-the-face, but some knowledge is better left unclaimed.
Fast Fact!
"Hogan frequently referred to his fans as "Hulkamaniacs" in his interviews and introduced his three "demandments": training, saying prayers, and eating vitamins. Eventually, a fourth demandment (believing in oneself) was added following his feud with Earthquake in the 1990s."
Pictured: Hulk Hogan, believing in himself.
So, we now see that to become a Hulkamaniac is actually a considerable amount of work. But, in the end, following the four demandments always pays off, and who knows? It might just save your life.
"Well, it seems that you have few skills and no experience... but, since you're a Hulkamaniac, welcome aboard!
