A dead body named after you, if you come through...


I need:


Someone on-the-scene to take a bunch of digital photos of the NYC-side of the Brooklyn Bridge for me, from as many angles as possible.

Someone (Dr. Lawrence?) with clinical knowledge of the signs/indications of brainwashing/mental abuse they can share in layperson's terms.


Anyone? Bueller?

What an excellent prize! Pity I 1) live on the wrong coast and 2) have no medical or psychological training.

Oh well! Good luck to rest of the peanut gallery!!

Please make sure you're white, female, Christian, and have a physical copy of laws regarding photography of public landmarks on your person first. Otherwise, this could become a risky activity these days...

ooo, good point. Dia, you cover 2.5 of those already, and you can probably fake the last half of Christianity if you really really tried...

[lagilman]

Then again, think of the amazing publicity for the book/entire series, should you get arrested!

Hmmm. I could probbably fake this, but let me ask around a bit at work and see if someone there can brief me. What kind of brainwashing are we talking about (or, put another way, how long did the washers have the washee in their clutches)? How much detail do you need? And what's your deadline?

[lagilman]

I shall e-mail you specifics, thanks!

Have you discovered googleearth.com?

Nic was showing me the software (free version) and I could see the two cars in his front yard. You can tilt the screen quie often to get elevation. The Sphinx from above is weird.

Most of the satadiums of the world are quite detailed.

Uh...Suri? Aren't both sides of the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC? Well, I mean, ever since 1898.

[lagilman]

Fine. MANHATTAN-side. Sheesh. Give me an effing break, okay? I'm on effing deadline.

Although, actually, I could use either side. I just happen to know that the MANHATTAN-side end better suits my use.

[lagilman]

That doesn't quite give me the detail/info I need, alas.

I may have to take a trip down there and pace the distances myself. Hopefully, on a day when it's NOT pouring...

Searching flickr for brooklyn bridge gives 18,000 hits, some of which might be useful. http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=brooklyn+bridge

Unfortunately what I need is a little more specific and involves someone actually being there to measure/estimate distances. :-(

Ha!

signs/indications of brainwashing/mental abuse

Funny enough, brainwashing isn't in my textbooks ...

Mental abuse: the only thing I can find is from lectures on child abuse, and its more bruises, etc. mentioned. Plus things like inapproprate responses, ie. flinching at inocculous things (like a gentle touch, etc.) and lots of other fearful signs. Withdrawn, not bubbly, not playing, etc.

:: shrug :: Not a lot of help. Good luck though!
