Topic: Front pointing

	Front pointing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Front pointing is a fundamental technique in mountaineering and ice climbing.
		It is accomplished through the use of crampons with two front-slanting points or spikes, which allow traction to be concentrated at the toe of the climber's boots.
		Due to the added stress and tiring effect on the legs, climbers who regularly use this technique will wear rigid crampons versus the hinged variety used for more general mountaineering on steep snow slopes or glaciers.

	René Descartes [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The 'firm point' is his existence: 'this proposition, I am, I exist, is necessarily true whenever it is put forward by me or conceived by my mind' (II, 17).
		(This point is particularly significant since it allows Descartes to argue against seeing the series of contingent causes as an infinite regress: that which sustains my existence must be a real, necessary, first cause.) A further suggestion is that he was caused by a finite cause less perfect than God.
		That is to say, it is Descartes' intellect itself that is capable, in a given present instance, of attaining to and being certain of that which is apprehended clearly and distinctly.

	Bippety Bop (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The player in the middle closes his eyes, holds right hand pointing in front of him, and spins around.
		The player you're pointing to, and his 2 neighbors, need to build an elephant in less than the time the middle player needs to say 'Bippety Bippety Bop'.
		An elephant consists of a trunk, made by the middle player, by holding your nose with one hand, and extending your other arm through the arm that holds the hand that holds the nose (does this make any sense?).

	The Question Corral
		I would really appreciate it if you could point me to a web site that has pictures of this classic old west showdown confrontation, either two armed men staring each other down or them blasting away at each other.
		Cuffs: I suspect that they certainly existed (I've a a picture or two with them, but can't put my hands on those photos just now), but hemmed pants seem to be much more common.
		I keep seeing them with the front pointing up in books and on web pages.

		But magic also means knowing how to control what others see--a point integral to the mystery's solution.
		Uhl, by contrast, is an amateur magician who sincerely appreciates Eisenheim's art; his affinity for magic is inseparable from his ultimate incorruptibility.
		Timothy is a sequel of sorts to A Christmas Carol, The Pale Blue Eye adopts a different (albeit familiar) strategy: its narrator, Augustus Landor, joins up with a youthful Edgar Allan Poe to investigate multiple murders--not to mention missing hearts--at a rather beleaguered West Point.
