text: Estimate Distances with Your Arm and This Rule of ThumbRosa Golijan9/03/09 10:30amFiled to: MacGyver TipmeasurementsBody hacksestimationTop513EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Quick anatomy lesson: the distance between your eyes is one-tenth the length of your arm. This is important, because it helps you estimate the distance between yourself and any object of reasonably known size to a rather accurate degree. Advertisement Let's begin this with a confession: I can't estimate distances worth a darn. 100 ft, 300 ft, 20 m, I can't really do it. Thankfully with this trick, we can get pretty accurate distance estimates with only the tiniest bit of math, a general idea of the size of the object you're estimating distance from, and an arm.Basically, all you need to do to estimate a distance using this classic method is hold your arm out and stare at your thumb with an eye closed. Silly, yes, but it makes sense, because you'll switch which eye you look through and sort out how far the object appears to have "jumped" to the side: Advertisement How far did it move? (Be sure to sight the same edge of your thumb when you switch eyes.) Let's say it jumped about five times the width of the barn, or about 500 feet. Now multiply that figure by the handy constant 10 (the ratio of the length of your arm to the distance between your eyes), and you get the distance between you and the barn — 5,000 feet, or about one mile.Easy enough, and from a few quick tests with known distances, it appears to be accurate enough for ballpark figures.The Old Farmer's Almanac has been around for as long as we recall, but it is still a great source for MacGyver-style tricks, even if this particular one requires no pens, matchboxes, or staples. Take a look at the link for more details on this estimation "rule" and others and be sure to stop in the comments to share your oldie-but-goodie sort of tricks. Thanks, TechTalk WRLR 98.3FM!

This entire project is based on the hypothesis that we can design and develop new synthetic triterpenoids that would eventually be clinically useful for chemoprevention and treatment of cancer. The project is articulated in 3 Specific Aims that cover the entire range of preclinical studies, all the way from design of new drugs;to elucidation of their biological activity, their molecular mechanisms of action, and their molecular targets;and finally, testing of efficacy for prevention of cancer in animal models of carcinogenesis that are considered relevant to actual human disease.
Our Specific Aims are as follows: (1) To continue to synthesize new triterpenoids and tricyclic bis-enones (TBEs) for chemoprevention of cancer. (2) To continue to test new triterpenoids from Specific Aim 1 for biological activity in a series of cell culture assays relevant to chemoprevention and chemotherapy of cancer. Such assays measure anti-proliferative activity, induction of differentiation in tumor cells, induction of apoptosis, and anti-inflammatory activity. We will also use biotinylated triterpenoids to identify proximate molecular targets mediating the anti-proliferative, differentiating, apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory actions of triterpenoids. In conjunction with these studies, we will conduct further investigations of downstream targets and pathways, to define molecular mechanisms of action. Furthermore, new studies on effects of TBEs in gene array experiments will be started. (3) To continue to test promising new triterpenoids or TBEs in appropriate animal models for chemoprevention of cancer, with special emphasis on prevention of pancreatic, lung, and hepatocellular cancer. Particular emphasis will also be placed on testing of new triterpenoids in combination with other chemopreventive agents that are known to be effective in the animal models. In addition to the chemoprevention studies, we will do pancreatic and lung cancer experiments in a chemotherapy mode, by waiting until the animals have developed detectable cancers and then determining if our agents are effective as treatments. Triterpenoids previously synthesized with support from this grant are already in active use in Phase I clinical trials for treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, and solid tumors. Historically, many chemopreventive agents have entered clinical use for cancer prevention by first being shown to be active in treatment protocols, and we intend to continue to pursue this cross-talk between therapeutic and preventive approaches to the cancer problem with the results of the proposed new studies.
Relevance Lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and liver cancer are three devastating and common forms of malignancy for which current therapies are extremely inadequate. A totally different approach to control of these three diseases would be to find some safe and effective way to prevent their occurrence. This grant application deals with the development and testing of new drugs to prevent lung, pancreatic, and liver cancer, with the eventual goal of using such drugs to prevent disease in men and women at high risk.

Security cam blog posts on Tumblr
Room with a View
When the Perlmeister is on the road, he likes to know what's going on at home. Armed with just two scripts, he draws on the Tumblr API to store snapshots cyclically from his home security camera.
When I'm traveling, knowing that my home is threatened neither by fire nor by an invading band of thieves contributes greatly to my sense of well-being. To avoid phoning my neighbors to satisfy my security cravings, I installed a panning camera to keep a watchful eye on the skyline of San Francisco through my living room window (Figure 1). The Foscam FI 8910W [1], which costs about US$ 60 and includes a WiFi connection, supports remote control via the Internet and lets me stream the video to my mobile phone – no matter where I happen to be.
Quirky Camera
Before you indulge in impulse purchases, be warned: The cheap Foscam camera has some annoying quirks. For example, when it's dark, the camera always turns its infrared LED ring on after rebooting, which happens every now and then for some unknown reason. This feature sounds useful at first, but if the camera is set up directly in front of a reflecting window, the whole thing turns into a fiasco, with the camera dazzling itself until someone notices and switches off the infrared ring by hand.
Thus far, customers have waited in vain for a firmware update that rescues them from this feature. "You get what you pay for," as people say laconically here in the US. Also, the camera's web interface looks like a relic from the last century: Users are given a jerky video stream and can use the control buttons at the top left to pan the camera head about 300 degrees laterally and tilt 120 degrees upward (Figure 2).
The fact that the built-in Foscam server wants you to supply your password in plain text via HTTP instead of via HTTPS is another faux pas that rational users will tend to counteract with a VPN if they need to transmit images over the Internet.
If your camera is set up at home and you want to access it from the outside, your router's firewall will need to use port forwarding to forward the incoming requests. Because the camera works with a dynamic DNS service, the web interface is always accessible at the same URL, such as
http://<XXX>.myfoscam.org:5148, independent of the dynamically assigned WAN IP.
On My Mark – Blog!
Because I happen to own the camera, I have to try to make the best of it. One of my first conclusions is that it makes more sense to grab snapshots regularly with the camera and dump them onto the Internet, instead of dialing up the camera periodically to make sure everything is okay. A script can then line up the still images on a web page – and one look is all it takes for a daily routine check. So, that is exactly my plan for this month's Perl column.
To help me in this noble cause, I noticed that the Tumblr microblogging platform, which my employer, Yahoo, acquired about six months ago, has a programmable API [2]. A quick check on CPAN showed that avid open source programmers had already published a matching Perl module named WWW::Tumblr. The rest was clear sailing: A cron job executes the script presented in Listing 2 several times a day and grabs a snapshot with the camera.
The script then routes the image via the API to my Tumblr blog, which shows the messages in reverse chronological order and offers all kinds of social platform bells and whistles such as Like buttons or reblog functions (Figure 3). Because most Tumblr users follow several blogs, you can add the sequence of home security images to your follow list and consume them along with other postings (Figure 4).
OAuth Grants Access to Tumblr Blog
For the
tumblr-post Perl script to be allowed write access to a user's blog automatically, you need to register it as a Tumblr application. Additionally, the user needs to grant the application appropriate rights. These steps are described in Tumblr's API documentation [2].
Figure 5 shows the registration process for the Perlsnapshot test application, and because it is a script – and not an app for the iPhone or an Android device – I have left the App Store URL and Google Play URL fields blank.
The Default callback URL, that is, the Web address that Tumblr invokes with the generated access tokens after authorization by the user is http://localhost:8082 (Figure 6). As an application icon, I just uploaded a 128x128 pixel self-portrait.
After clicking on Register below the completed form, Tumblr shows you a consumer key and a secret key (Figure 7). These two hex strings identify a registered Tumblr application, which in turn is allowed to ask users for access rights.

Perfect fit!
Reviewed By Reece D (CAMPBELL, CA) Reviewed for a 2017 Toyota Sienna —2/7/2017 8:24 PM
I have a 2017 Sienna SE 8 seater, i purchased a 2016 Sienna SE 8 seater and fits perfectly. Coverage is excellent! Comparing to the OEM mats, night and day difference. Traction is more rough than OEM but clean looking. I recommend vacuuming the area first, take out the middle seats for sure. This mat is not designed to be removed, cleaned, then back. You can but you gotta remove the middle seats. Overall, this is a must purchase before you fill your first tank of gas.

The Pfeiffer Center's gardens and fields are our classrooms and our laboratories. Located at the site of the first biodynamic farm in North America, the Pfeiffer Center encompasses a variety of spaces that support our teaching and research in biodynamic food production, adult education, children's programs, and draft horse work.
In 1926, on the site of the present-day Pfeiffer Center garden, the founders of Threefold Farm began growing biodynamic produce for Manhattan's Threefold Vegetarian Restaurant. For decades thereafter, the garden's produce fed attendees of Threefold's popular Summer Conferences, and Ehrenfried Pfeiffer conducted his research here from the 1940s until his death in 1961. Today, the Pfeiffer Center garden comprises 70 beds where we raise vegetables, herbs and flowers; also on the property are a small orchard (apples, pears, peaches and quince), berry bushes, a greenhouse, a wood-fired bread oven, the dye garden of the Fiber Craft Studio, compost piles, a self-serve seasonal farm stand, and our apiary.
Just up the hill, across from Green Meadow Waldorf School, is the Children's Garden, where we raise vegetables and conduct many of our programs with children. As in the Pfeiffer Center garden, work in the Children's Garden is done with hand tools; in our work and our teaching, we emphasize the value of agricultural handwork, which can serve as an excellent foundation for farming and gardening on any scale.
Less than a half mile from the gardens, we raise field vegetables, hay, grains and bee forage on Molina Field, Pine Field and Horse Field. It is on these four acres of fields that we work with and pasture Captain and Eva, our team of Haflinger draft horses.
In our field and garden work, we strive to balance the goals of production, enhancing soil fertility, and creating spaces that support our educational work. Along with neighboring Duryea Farm of the Fellowship Community, we use our work with land and animals to create a farm individuality in a suburban setting.
Mac Mead has farmed and gardened biodynamically for more than thirty years. As a co-worker at the Fellowship Community beginning in 1975, Mac had the "privilege and good fortune" to learn biodynamic methods directly from former co-workers of Ehrenfried Pfeiffer.
Mac was raised in the Connecticut River Valley and graduated from Dickinson College in Pennsylvania with a degree in psychology. After college he was a co-worker at the Camphill Village in Copake, New York, from 1972 to 1974, where he did therapeutic community work and also taught nature and games at the fledgling Waldorf school there. As a co-worker in the Fellowship Community, Mac helped start the Third Grade farming block at Green Meadow Waldorf School, and taught that block for fifteen years; he also helped initiate the Pfeiffer Center's public school outreach program, The Outdoor Lesson. Over the years, Mac has gardened and farmed on every scale, from handwork to field-scale vegetables, tended an orchard, and managed dairy cows. Mac was the resident farmer at the Fellowship Community's Duryea Farm from 1997 until 2005. Mac has directed the Pfeiffer Center since 2007.
Megan was born and raised in the Chicago area. She began on her farming path as a WWOOFer after graduating with a teaching degree and two years of community service with AmeriCorps in the southeast before and after Hurricane Katrina. WOOFing taught her basic farming skills, but also led her to ask, "Is there an even more conscious way to grow food?" She came to the Pfeiffer Center as an intern in 2007, and took on growing responsibilities under the direction of Mac Mead. Following a one-year stint at Raphael Garden in Sacramento, CA, where she studied intensive production gardening and biodynamic seed saving under Harald Hoven, we are delighted to welcome Megan back as the Pfeiffer Center's Head Gardener in the summer of 2015.
Christine grew up surrounded by Rudolf Steiner's work, in school and at home, as her mother was a waldorf teacher. Living in suburban Wisconsin, she didn't get many chances to try farming or gardening — let alone biodynamics — until she took the agriculture course offered at her high school. After graduating from Youth Initiative she did a bit of farming while traveling, while continuing to search for agricultural learning opportunities. Her sister found the Pfeiffer Center's internship page, and so began the adventure that led her here. By the end of her internship, Christine hopes to have learned how to feed herself off the land and heal the earth.
Originally from Santa Rosa, California, Courtney has always loved the outdoors, and farming and gardening have intrigued her since childhood. After a life-changing event, she applied to apprentice under Harald Hoven at Raphael Garden in Fair Oaks, California, where she completed the first year of the North American Biodynamic Apprenticeship Program (NABDAP). While at Raphael Garden, Courtney also met Megan Durney and learned about the Pfeiffer Center, where she's now continuing her journey to learn about sustainable agriculture and biodynamics. In her spare time, Courtney enjoys reading, ceramics, swimming, and photography.
A Bay Area native, Kelli first met biodynamics when her Waldorf high school class visited Live Power Community Farm. After getting a degree in Fine Arts with an Education minor, she started Waldorf teacher training while assisting in a Waldorf kindergarten. After a number of years teaching, Kelli's interest in quality nutritious food and love for the outdoors led her to contemplate transitioning to farming. A six-month stint back at Live Power Farm gave her a taste of farm life and led her to the Pfeiffer Center internship program. Here she hopes to gain a deep understanding of biodynamic agriculture and how the farm organism can not only serve as the centerpiece for community life but also assist in the healing of individuals and our relationship to the earth.

If you're a fan of online videos about cars – and we suspect that if you're visiting a site like ours, you are – you must have been excited when the Drive channel launched on YouTube now nearly three years ago. Maybe you were even happy for the team behind it when they inked a deal with NBCUniversal to produce a show for the NBC Sports Network, too. Probably less so when the producers announced they could no longer afford to air the shows for free on YouTube. But we have some good ne

When you choose to wear the red flannel shirt instead of the blue sweater, you're expressing yourself. Your mood. Your personality. Your values even. When you display a kitschy '70s vase from a thrift store on the designer table in your entryway it's the same thing. Same with the hula girl on your dashboard or the gnome in your yard.
We have a need to externalize our inner selves, to see our personalities reflected back at us when we look around, and to share our selves with others. It's a way of communicating that Anaïs Nin captures perfectly in Children of the Albatross:
... my house will speak for me. My house will tell them I am warm and rich. The house will tell them inside of me there are these rooms of flesh and Chinese lacquer, sea greens to walk through, inside of me there are lighted candles, live fires, shadows, spaces, open doors, shelters and air currents. Inside of me there is color and warmth.
The Web has endless rooms for you to decorate.
Rooms and closet space are finite. So are our resources. And we have physical limitations too. But the Web kind of goes on forever.
Maybe the thought of expressing yourself on the Web is repugnant or frightening to you. I don't blame you. There are some things out there that are themselves repugnant and frightening! But there are others that can be beautiful and beneficial.
I was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness that has reduced my energy and stamina. I feel so fortunate that when this happened I already had an online home I'd been decorating for years that I could enjoy. My online home has pictures and stories and news and visitors. It's a nice place to be on a rainy day.
Kits for building an online home.
A French artist I follow on Twitter tweeted something her husband said the other day that really touched me: "You should be able to buy a kit to build yourself an inner world to counteract the loneliness and isolation of old age."
Such kits exist! That's what blogs are, and mobile applications like Instagram, and platforms like Pinterest. The Web is bursting with them.
If you're tempted to expand to the Web, but are feeling some trepidation about making the leap into blogging or posting photos online, Pinterest is an attractive and entertaining toy you might like to start with. It's a website that lets you fill online bulletin boards with things you find online.
Pinterest provides a creative outlet and it's easy to use. Best of all, without ever putting any personal information online, you end up with a very personal site.
To test the site, I created a bulletin board called "Pink," among others. Whenever I come across something pink I like, I can "pin" it to my Pink board. I can share my pink collection with others, I can follow other people with pink collections, re-pin things from their boards onto mine... I can even let other people pin things to my Pink board if I want to. It's like having an online curio cabinet. I can gaze at and (mentally) fondle the pretty things in my collection whenever I feel the need.
Pinterest can be much more than a toy, however. You can use it for more practical purposes too. If you're redecorating a room, planning a themed party, designing a quilt -- you name it -- you can use Pinterest as an inspiration board, the way Florida wedding photographer Rachel Durik does. (I want to get married again just to have her take the pictures!)
I won't be giving you Pinterest lessons in this post. Learning your way around is half the fun, and Pinterest has good online help. If you don't know where to start, or if you get frustrated, ask a kid (as I've said before). In fact, I think it might be fun to sit down with friends or family members to set up shared or separate Pinterest boards. Quality time.
The moral of the story is that using the Web for creative expression doesn't necessarily mean that you have to give up your privacy. And Pinterest just got $27 million in funding, so you should be able to count on the site being around for a while. What are you waiting for? Start pinning!

Today's pick up from me includes one pair of selvedge jeans I can't seem to identify; kinda hoping some of the denim experts on here may be able to lend a thought.

The last pic reads; 100% cotton, fabricado em UE. The only other label is the size tag which reads 33/36(fits a bit smaller than that though).
It looks like the Ransom Holdings Co. label. They are a Canadian company that makes shoes. I've never seen their jeans before so I don't know too much about them. Sometimes, I see made in the EU, I automatically thinks it's made in Canada.Quote:Originally Posted by SpooPoker

If this is double breasted with "Neiman Marcus" on the label. I returned that jacket to a GW southwest of the cities a week ago. I couldn't find the pants after a week of looking at the original store I bought the jacket at, which was a GW north east of the cities.post #110258 of 1387287/24/14 at 7:57am

But seriously, the picking in Athens depend on if you're thrifting for resale or for yourself/trade. Your primary donors are students and professors/retiring alum. From the students you get a lot of mid-tier basics, J. Crew, PRL, middle of the road BB, and a decent mix of neo-prep/southern prep brands like VV, SoPro, ect. From the professors and retiring alum you get significantly better stuff but it's more classically styled and looser fitting and typically local store brands, well-made but unknown on the secondary market, or brands that used to be good but have declined recently. I don't do SW/D so I can't tell you about the availability of that stuff but I'd imagine it's about the same. If you want, let me know when you get back in town and I'll show you where the various thrift stores are. You can hit all but one of them on a single loop if you do it right.post #110265 of 1387287/24/14 at 11:40am

Join the National Park Service for a visit to the Gulf Islands National Seashore to learn the science of change, specifically, the science of inventory and monitoring. This is the science that the National Park Service uses to understand what is in the park (inventorying) and how those animals, plants, and conditions change over time. Natural change such as the shaping and movement of the Gulf Islands by daily currents will be distinguished from human-influenced change, such as the Gulf Oil Spill. Students will better understand how the process works and how they might apply that understanding in their own lives.
Trip designed for: 4th - 8th Grade Students

MillionTreesNYC Needs Our Help to Re-Plant New York's Urban Forest After Irene
Though New York is a booming metropolis, we need trees. Trees help clean our air and reduce pollutants that trigger asthma and other respiratory diseases. They cool our streets and homes on hot summer days and increase property value by making neighborhoods look nice.
Founded by the New York Parks Department and The New York Restoration Project, lead by none other than Bette Midler, MillionTreesNYC is a citywide collaboration with federal agencies and offices, private owners, architects, developers, corporations, small businesses, and non-profits. Everyone who is anyone has and is involved in the various programs the initiative has to offer.
MillionTreesNYC has a number of ways for people to take action beginning with simple gestures like planting one tree in your yard or donating to a tree planting site in the city. They also offer a number of volunteer planting events, tree compost and care workshops, and even free tree giveaways throughout the year. Volunteers are encouraged to plant a tree and submit a story about its effect on the neighborhood to the MillionTreesNYC website. Dedicated volunteers can also join the Stewardship Corps and adopt a tree in your neighborhood to look after and care for.
The City of New York will plant 60 percent of these trees in parks and other public spaces and the other 40 percent will be planted by private organizations, homeowners, and community organizations. The Parks department is planning on distributing their share of 200,000 trees by answering requests, identifying and planting 80 "Greenstreets" in traffic medians and triangles, and targeting blocks with few or no trees.
The Department of City Planning has also proposed new zoning changes that would require the planting of street trees in all new developments. Getting involved in planting trees around New York City is easy and fun and after Hurricane Irene, MillionTreesNYC and our communities need more help than ever. If Bette Midler can do it, so can you!

... and stamping his feet. His female companion was obviously trying to calm him down, to no avail. We finally worked up the courage to ask the price of a couple of canvasses of interest. More expensive than we had hoped, for pieces we didn't like as much as those in our room, and I wasn't about to try to negotiate with this madman. Probably should have bought something, because I'm convinced this guy will someday cut off one of his ears, or worse.

Jackson rips C's? C's yawn
Here's how worthless talk becomes this deep into the Finals:
Even Coach Phil Jackson's caught-on-TV remarks about the Celtics' late-game problems this season did not faze Boston's best players.
During a timeout Sunday, Jackson, wearing a microphone as part of ABC's broadcast, reminded his Lakers that the Celtics "know how to lose in the fourth quarter." He added, "They're just showing us that right now."
Told of Jackson's words afterward, Paul Pierce actually agreed with the assessment. Kevin Garnett said he "couldn't care less what Phil Jackson is talking about."
Of course, it didn't help Jackson's campaign when the Celtics then proved they know how to win in the fourth quarter, too.

Madison Park Apartments
At the time it was built in 1908, Madison Park Apartments was the largest wooden structure west of the Mississippi. It suffered damage during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, and the building sat vacant for six years before it was acquired by EBALDC and renovated in 1995. Located across from Lake Merritt BART station, Madison Park Apartments is transit-friendly and within a short walk of the Oakland Museum of California, schools, shopping, Laney College, and parks. Madision Park Apartments is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

One image will stay with me this summer. It is the photograph, published last Sunday, of the anonymous Miss A who – she has claimed – was assaulted one night last spring in an Ilford flat by three people, two of whom were the Hamiltons.
"But how," you rightly object, "can she be anonymous (as a rape complainant should be), if someone has printed two million copies of her photograph?" Well, you see, they did and they didn't. The snap was pixillated. Through the distortion you could make out that Miss A was between 10 and 90, built neither like Hattie Jacques nor Kate Moss, and blonde-haired. Showing something, promising more, it was better than nothing.
By now the only people who don't know about the Hamiltons are the two Japanese soldiers still holding out against the Allies in a remote corner of eastern Borneo. And if they know what civilisation has in store for them, they'll stay put. Otherwise they may be required, upon being bathed and given new clothes, to venture an opinion on who they think is lying – Neil and Christine or Miss A – just like the rest of us.
The Hamilton affair is unusual, even for this country. What generally happens in cases of alleged rape is that the "victim" makes a complaint to the police. They then investigate things to try and ascertain the truth of the allegations, including speaking to the alleged perpetrator. If they think they've got a strong enough case, said malefactors are arrested, brought before a jury, and then the evidence is carefully weighed and judgment delivered. During this time the public are generally aware only that a crime may have been committed, the names of the accused (should there be charges), and the reports of the trial itself.
Not this time. Courtesy of the press we know the exact nature of Miss A's complaint. Having met a man called Philip through the internet, the "mother of two" (a lecturer at a local college), found herself,on 5 May last year, at 55 Avenue Court, Ilford, expecting to meet him again. In fact she was alone with a 60-year-old man who spiked her drinks and then let the Hamiltons through the front door. Miss A said she recognised them from newspapers and TV, as well she might (as Edgar Lustgarten would have said).
The next part of her story is a mixture of the Evremonde outrage from A Tale of Two Cities (you know, where the aristos violate the peasant girl), the Starr report on the Lewinsky affair and one of those accounts of alien abduction. I am going to spare you some of the more disgusting details, in case you share your newspaper with your impressionable parents. But the tone can be judged from her claim that the woman alleged to be Christine Hamilton, had looked her up and down (as she was lying on the living room floor) and asked, "Have you ever had sex with another woman before?" Then, "she hitched her dress up. She didn't have any underwear on. Then she sat on her face".
If you're confused about who, by this time, was sitting on whose face I should add that Miss A's accounts have all been relayed to the media "through her mother". She tells her mum, mum presumably writes it down, and then tells journalists. A bit like a medium. Meanwhile the accused have rebutted the allegations directly. The flat owner has said he has never met the Hamiltons in his life and has added, "I am supposed to have got down on my knees to have sex with her despite the fact I can't because I suffer from dreadful arthritis."
The Hamiltons have alibis galore, which have been given almost simultaneously to the police and to the press. Said their lawyer: "We are also coming up with details of the use of their credit cards on that Saturday – respectively in Waitrose and Marks & Spencer and Snappy Snaps...
"So unless they were helicoptered out it seems impossible for them to have actually taken part in this incident." Actually a helicopter is by far the least far-fetched part of this story. Because we also have verbatim testimony provided by the Hamiltons to the police, and then – unbelievably – by the Hamiltons to the media. This included the exchange in which Neil's brief asks police, "has she said whether Mr Hamilton was circumcised or not?" (What is it they do at Snappy Snaps?) And Christine tells the plod (as she calls them) that she has made only one visit to Ilford – to address a charity lunch of the League of Jewish Women. And this was held in a local synagogue apparently, and not in the living room of a nude, arthritic 60-year-old.
A newspaper tracked down Miss A's former husband (Mr ex-A?) who told them that she was a fantasist. So that was a strike against her. And, in one of the great tautologies of our time, the same source also told readers how police had gone to interview Miss A again after having subjected her belongings to "DNA tests on male sperm". Well, that's the sperm to test, if you ask me.
But why do I come into it? Why do we need to know all this? Because we are deciding the case, that's why. The evidence is being presented by newspapers, via the Hamiltons and Miss A's relatives, and we are making up our own minds who is guilty and who isn't. There is absolutely no need for this to come to trial; some phone polling should do the trick.
After this we should perhaps thank the Saudi authorities for making unnecessary a trial of the three Britons accused of recent non-fatal bombings. The televised confessions of Les Walker, Jamie Patrick Leigh and James Cottle saves a great deal of mucking about. As the Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef said just before the men publicly admitted their guilt: '"It gives me pleasure to announce that the investigators have identified those who committed the bombings in the city of al-Khobar and at the Euromarche and in front of the Jareer bookshop in Riyadh. They were all British citizens.''
Case closed. The prince and his police forces have done the work, decided who was guilty, now the culprits have admitted it in front of everyone, all we need is a sentence. In a more progressive country the appropriate punishment could also be decided by a telephone poll of TV viewers.
They could be given three options: imprisonment, mutilation or death, say. Since sentences in Saudi Arabia are carried out in public and often televised, the vote would have the unique property of deciding both the men's fate and the evening's programming schedule. Fancy a beheading? Or more in the mood for a lashing followed by a sit-com? But they are such stick-in-the-muds down in Riyadh. Now, given the week's evidence, I know how I would vote in both cases. I have decided, after weighing up the evidence, that the Hamiltons are not guilty. Their accuser is clearly a loony, and that's that. I have also decided, on balance, that the Saudi three probably are guilty, for no better reason than I cannot imagine a friendly, civilised state terrorising three respectable British nationals into making entirely false confessions. What kind of people would do that? It's too far-fetched.
But my vote is pixillated. You can't quite make it out – it counts but it doesn't. When the makers of Big Brother finally inveigle two or more of their charges to eat of the apple of sin in their prefabricated Eden, you will see everything clearly except the genitals. Those too will be pixillated. It's how unworthy desire copes with shame.

Heaven knows what would have happened to Li Na's marriage if she had lost her Australian Open semi-final against Caroline Wozniacki. The 28-year-old world No 11 became the first Chinese player to reach a Grand Slam singles final when she beat Wozniacki 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 here today, but revealed afterwards that her husband and coach, Jiang Shan, had not been entirely helpful in the build-up to the biggest win of her life.
"Of course you're nervous going into a final," she said in a courtside interview after her victory. "I didn't have a good evening last night. My husband was snoring. I kept waking up every hour." The crowd's laughter had barely died down when Li was asked what had got her through the tension of the third set. "Prize money," she said, bringing the house down for a second time.
Li, who will win Aus$2.2m (about £1.38m) if she wins Saturday's final or half that amount if she loses, deserved her victory for the way she fought back after a poor first set. Li looked nervous at the start and made 17 unforced errors to Wozniacki's four as the 20-year-old Dane took the first set in just 29 minutes.
When Wozniacki broke to lead 5-4 in the second set the world No 1 appeared to have one foot in the final, but on match point Li hit a big forehand down the line to stay in the contest. A backhand error by Wozniacki and a forehand winner by her opponent gave Li the break back at 5-5. Two games later, on set point to Li, Wozniacki served a double fault to send the semi-final into a deciding set.
Having looked in distress in the early stages, when she kept looking in despair towards her husband, Li had by now stolen the momentum. At 4-3 Li made the decisive break and then served out for the match. From 30-30 Wozniacki hit a forehand long at the end of a lengthy rally and then put a forehand wide. "I'm so proud to be the first Chinese player to make a Grand Slam singles final," Li said afterwards.
Li is unbeaten this year, having won her only build-up tournament in Sydney, where she beat Clijsters in the final. She will climb to No 5 in the world rankings if she wins the title and to No 7 if she is beaten. Wozniacki had guaranteed she would stay at No 1 in the rankings when she won her quarter-final.
* In the final Li will play Kim Clijsters, who beat Vera Zvonareva, the No 2 seed, 6-3, 6-3 in just 73 minutes. Clijsters, runner-up here seven years ago, played some of her best tennis of the fortnight to justify her position as the pre-tournament favourite.
"I lifted my level compared to my other matches," Clijsters said afterwards. "I've played in a lot of big matches and you learn from them. I just keep fighting and try to be the last one standing."
The match was a repeat of last year's US Open final, which Clijsters won 6-2, 6-1. Today's result means that Clijsters will replace Zvonareva at No 2 in the world rankings in next week's updated list.
Clijsters, who also thrashed Zvonareva 6-2 6-1 in last year's U.S. Open final, will replace the Russian as the world number two with her seventh win in their 10 meetings.

Welcome to The Icy Owl!
June 1, 2008
Welcome to The Icy Owl
Although I like owls, The Icy Owl is not about owls. I just wanted to make that clear to those of you who may have arrived at this site as a result of searching for information about owls. In any case, you are absolutely welcome to take a tour through these pages to see if there might be something else that does happen to interest you.
What is The Icy Owl?The Icy Owl is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I will be covering several topics as time goes along and I hope that you'll be joining me as I delve into these varied areas and as I add new topics. You could call The Icy Owl a playground of sorts, and I do like to have a bit of fun now and then.
What will you find here and what is being planned?
At the time of this writing you will find a small quantity of articles, a graphic set and some photographs I took several years ago. These have been a part of the site for quite a while now and are worth keeping around.
More articles will be added as I am inspired to write them. I promise that they won't all be about cleaning. Life is so much more than that.
More graphics will find their way into this site too. Not necessarily in the form of a set, but most likely some fun stuff. Decorations at least.
Definitely there will be more photographs. Many more. Current plans for expansion actually require photographs to be an essential part of articles. I plan to write about a specific item in a photograph, explaining it and its uses (if any). This has the potential of being quite fun to both photograph something and then write about it. Goofy stuff perhaps, but some good things too. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I do like to have a bit of fun now and then.
Enjoy your stay and thanks for dropping by The Icy Owl!

It took me about 26 months to complete. It has a 302 Ford motor and an 5 Speed manual transmission. I restored this car to the information on the original data plate on the door that included the body color and interior. The stripe is unique in that I added a darker red to the Poppy Red body color to get a stripe that is a little darker but blends in with the factory color. This car features four wheel disc brakes made from all Ford parts.
