Autobiography of a Yogi is one of the 20th century's best-loved spiritual classics. This book is the original edition first published in 1946. It details the life of Paramahansa Yogananda - one of India's Spiritual guru's, who is often referred to particularly in the West as, the Father of Yoga. Yogananda chronicles his life's journey and his many encounters with spiritual luminaries such as Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Therese Neumann, and many more. The result is wondrous, and profoundly inspiring." On meeting Gandhi Yogananda observed.... "The tiny 100-pound saint radiated physical, mental, and spiritual health. His soft brown eyes shone with intelligence, sincerity, and discrimination; this statesman has matched wits and emerged the victor in a thousand legal, social, and political battles. No other leader in the world has attained the secure niche in the hearts of his people that Gandhi occupies for India's millions. In 1935 Yogananda travelled to Bavaria to meet Therese Neumann, the famous Catholic Mystic who was also a stigmatic. It is said that Neumann survived without food or water and her only intake was one consecrated sacred Host a day. At his meeting with Neumann, Yogananda asked.... "Don't you eat anything?" I wanted to hear the answer from her own lips. "No, except a consecrated rice-flour wafer, once every morning at six o'clock." "How large is the wafer?" "It is paper-thin, the size of a small coin." She added, "I take it for sacramental reasons; if it is unconsecrated, I am unable to swallow it." "Certainly you could not have lived on that, for twelve whole years?" "I live by God's light." How simple her reply, how Einsteinian! "I see you realize that energy flows to your body from the ether, sun, and air." A swift smile broke over her face. "I am so happy to know you understand how I live." "Your sacred life is a daily demonstration of the truth uttered by Christ: 'Man shall not live by bread, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'" In his foreword, Walter Evans-Wentz, the co-editor and translator of The Tibetan Book of the Dead observe; "The value of Yogananda's autobiography is greatly enhanced by the fact that it is one of the few books in English about the wise men of India which has been written, not by a journalist or foreigner, but by one of their own race and training - in short, a book about yogis by a yogi. As an eyewitness account of the extraordinary lives and powers of modern Hindu saints, the book has importance both timely and timeless. To its illustrious author, whom I have had the pleasure of knowing both in India and America, may every reader render due appreciation and gratitude. His unusual life-document is certainly one of the most revealing of the depths of the Hindu mind and heart, and of the spiritual wealth of India, ever to be published in the West.

"Autobiography of a Yogi" is an autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda (January 5, 1893–March 7, 1952) first published in 1946. Yogananda was born Mukunda Lal Ghosh in Gorakhpur, India into a Bengali family. "Autobiography of a Yogi" introduces the reader to the life of Paramahansa Yogananda and his encounters with spiritual figures of both the East and West. The book begins with his childhood family life, to finding his guru, to becoming a monk and establishing his teachings of Kriya Yoga meditation. The book continues in 1920 when Yogananda accepts an invitation to speak in a religious congress in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He then travels across America lecturing and establishing his teachings in Los Angeles, California. In 1935 he returns to India for a yearlong visit. When he returns to America, he continues to establish his teachings, including writing this book. The book is an introduction to the methods of attaining God-realization and to the spiritual thought of the East, which had only been available to a few in 1946. The author claims that the writing of the book was prophesied long ago by the nineteenth-century master Lahiri Mahasava. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)Product Description:

How To Adopt A Child In Nigeria
Family/ Relationships July 24, 2012 No Comments
Child Adoption/Fostering In Nigeria
For an adoption to take place, the court has to grant an adoption order depending on the type of adoption taking place.
an adoption order maybe made upon the application of two spouses authorizing them jointly to adopt a juvenile, but in no other case shall an adoption authorize more than one person to adopt a juvenile.
There are chiefly two stages to this process. The formal application to the relevant authority; for example:
Anyone wishing to adopt a child within the ambit of the law must first and foremost lodge an application address to the relevant authority of the particular state or Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The Person Who Intends To Adopt The Child Must Meet The Following Requirements:
- The birth certificate of the child
- Medical certificate which includes fitness of the child
- The adopting obtained from a recognised government hospital, a jumbo-size photograph of the child, passport photographs of the adopting parents
- Employment letter from applicant's employers Is needed
- Affidavit of record/means deposed to by the applicant (Must disclose other facts relevant to the application), consent letter from the biological parents (where applicable), power of attorney (where adopting parents are represented by a lawyer).
- However, during submission of the application, the applicant is expected to make statutory payment which varies from state to state.
- Furthermore, when the application together with the accompanying documents has been appropriately presented to the satisfaction of the child welfare officer, a formal application is then made to the court.
- Finally the hearing of the application may be in open court or in chambers and where the court is satisfied, it makes an award granting custody to the applicant as prayed, otherwise the application would be canceled.
After the whole adoption process you are now free to take your fostered child home.

Opening a small pet store can provide an opportunity to work with animals and be your own boss. Although this may seem like a fun pastime, owning and operating a pet shop requires plenty of effort and careful planning. Like all new business ventures, the success of your pet store depends on creating a positive atmosphere and meeting your customers' needs. Selling pets and pet supplies requires complying with regulations, upholding certain standards and performing necessary procedures.
1. Develop a business plan that includes your purpose and goals, outlining the necessary steps to achieve your desired outcome. A good business plan includes researching the market to determine your clientele and expected profit. Include possible sources for pets and pet supplies, as well as the prices you intend to charge for high dollar items. Print out your business plan to present to your lender for consideration when seeking a business loan.
2. Select a suitable location for your pet store. Choose an area that provides easy access and good exposure to individuals that have pets, such as a shopping mall or an area near a dog park.
3. Register your business. After selecting a name for your pet shop, talk to an attorney about setting up your business structure. Your business structure will determine how you register it with the various levels of government, as well as impose requirements, such as offering stock options and conducting business meetings. Hire an attorney to ensure your pet shop business meets all legal requirements.
4. Obtain the required legal documents. Contact the department of revenue to obtain a tax identification number. Use this number to report your earnings and pay your taxes. Talk to your city or municipal government to find out what type of license you may require to sell live animals. Many local governments restrict the number of animals, making it necessary to obtain a special permit or license to sell them.
5. Hire an accountant. Unless you have an advanced understanding of accounting and enjoy this aspect of running a business, choose an accountant to balance your books and help you pay your taxes.
6. Obtain the equipment you need to house and care for the pets you wish to sale. Purchase cages and aquariums large enough to accommodate your animals. Set up the housing, including the food and drink areas, before obtaining your pet stock. Purchase stock from a reputable dealer or breeder, checking health credentials on each animal you obtain.
7. Hire employees to help you run your small pet store. Even owners of small pet shops often require additional help selling items and caring for the pets. Choose trustworthy employees that enjoy working around people and animals.

In general, online African Americans are less well-off and spend less while shopping online compared with other online consumers. However, several factors point to the opportunity of further engaging with this group. Our Technographics® research shows that African American online users are much less annoyed by the amount of advertising today compared with online users overall: 60% of the US online population agree that they are annoyed by advertising, versus only 39% of online African Americans. Furthermore, ads inform the purchase decisions that online African Americans make: Nearly twice as many African American online users (27%) as overall online users (15%) agree that ads help them decide what to buy.
Furthermore, 24% of online African Americans recognize that owning the best brand is important to them, compared with only 16% of all US online consumers. Therefore, brand reputation is a much bigger influencer in their purchase decision process.

Hi Marketing Leaders,
"Hello World!" is the well-known statement Tiger Woods used to introduce himself to professional golf in 1996. Since that introduction, Woods has become the biggest individual brand since Michael Jordan earning over $1 billion in total endorsement and tournament earnings. Now, the Woods' brand is tarnished due to his infidelity - yet the Woods' brand is resilient and customers are still loyal. According to Forbes' "Fab 40" list, the "Tiger Woods" brand still holds top spot among athletes with a brand value of $82 million.
What does this have to do with marketing leadership, Forrester and me..."the new guy"?
I officially joined the marketing leadership team yesterday. April Fool's Day is not the preferred starting date for any job, but I made it through without any surprises from HR or my new boss, David Cooperstein. In my new role, I am focusing on loyalty and customer value among other topics. I will explore how marketing leaders are evolving strategies around loyalty and customer value as social media and emerging brand platforms create opportunities & challenges.

Mumbai: Mithali Raj, captain of the Indian women's team, is planning to cash in on England's relatively weak bowling attack when the two teams square off on Sunday.
While India had begun their campaign on a winning note getting past West Indies comfortably, England stumbled in their opening match against Sri Lanka.
The No.1-ranked batswoman exuded confidence ahead of the important clash against the defending champions and said that the team was well prepared to face any situation.
"I think England have got a very good batting line-up, but I don't think they are very strong in their bowling attack, except Katherine Brunt... They heavily depend on her for the breakthroughs," she said.
"We played against England last year as well and most of our batsmen are comfortable playing their bowlers. I would say Sunday's is a different game... We are expecting all kinds of situations and we are prepared for everything," she added.
Asked if she expects England to come hard after losing their first match, Mithali said: "I am sure they would field a strong side, but we are well prepared for it."
England's one-down batter and wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor missed the match against Sri Lanka due to a hamstring injury. But Mithali is of the opinion that even in her likely absence, England had a strong team.
"I think she has been one of the mainstays of England and a very compact No.3 player. It was unfortunate for her not to play the opening game. But even without her, England have a very good batting line-up," she said.
The 30-year old also said that the tournament is wide open after England's defeat. "I did tell you the other day that the tournament is open because each and every team has been scoring heavily, more than 200-plus. They are also able to chase. I think the tournament has opened up even more after Sri Lanka upset England," she said.
The India captain is unperturbed about Sunday's game being a day game.
"I don't think there is a lot to get adjusted to, because it is not the kind of winter that we get to see up north where the dew factor or moisture is there in the air... Because the match starts at 9 am, there will be a bit of assistance to the bowlers.
"Other than that, I think the wicket is behaving beautifully in both the innings," Mithali said. "I think playing a day game will not affect us much… What we saw was that ball wasn't doing much… Maybe just in the initial 4-5 overs," she added.

Texas woman who killed neighbour set to be executed
Kimberly McCarthy is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection in Texas today, the first woman to be put to death in the US in more than two years, for the fatal stabbing of her neighbour in 1997.
Women are rarely executed in the US.
Only 12 female inmates were put to death since capital punishment was reinstated by the Supreme Court in 1976, according to the Death Penalty Infor-mation Centre.
The last woman executed was Teresa Lewis in Virginia on September 23, 2010, the information centre said.
"Although women commit about 10 per cent of murders, capital cases also require some aggravating factor like rape, robbery, or physical abuse," said Richard Dieter, executive director of the information centre, adding that women usually have not committed a long list of prior felonies.
McCarthy, 51, was convicted of entering the home of her 71-year-old neighbour, Dorothy Booth, in Lancaster, Texas, on July 21, 1997, under the pretence of borrowing some sugar.
She then stabbed Booth five times, according to the Texas attorney general's summary of the case.
She also cut off Booth's left ring finger in order to take her diamond ring, which she later pawned.
McCarthy was also believed to be responsible for the murders of two other elderly women.
McCarthy was found guilty in 1998 by a Dallas County jury of murdering Booth and sentenced to death.
Her conviction was overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in 2001 because no attorney was present when she was questioned after the crime despite requesting a lawyer, court documents showed.
She was tried a second time in 2002, was again found guilty by a Dallas County jury, and sentenced to death.
McCarthy would be the second person executed in the US so far this year.
Forty-three inmates were put to death in 2012.

Poetry. LGBT Studies. "A book of thresholds, middles, unfinished episodes, Shurin's latest presents a set of rigorous and exacting deliriums. First- and third-person narrators are interspliced and then abandoned to purely visceral description of muscles, contours, even applause. The diction switches from archaic to pulpy noir to adult contemporary. Yet these 48 prose poems have an immediacy that holds them together perfectly.... Readers of Jorie Graham, Michael Palmer and other edgy, glossy elegists will find Shurin's modes familiar but his voice unique."—Publishers Weekly

"Linda was absolutely the sweetest vendor I had the pleasure of working with. Her bouquets and centerpieces were lovely and took my breath away. She was willing to work with my budget, really listened to what I wanted, and had great ideas herself. She's the total package, and I would highly recommend her to any bride!"

"We were so happy to work with Father Steve and the wonderful staff at St. Joachim's. Father Steve was very kind and patient. The church is simple, but beautiful especially when light is streaming in through the windows in the afternoon. The only reason I didn't give it the full 5 stars is because I felt the rehearsal was rushed, and we feel as though we didn't get enough time to ask questions about order, etc."

"Overall, the venue was what my now hubby and I had wanted: a beautiful country club wedding that our guests would enjoy. We got alot of compliments from people who were pleasantly surprised by the food exceeding expectations of typical wedding fair. I barely got to touch the food so I can't speak from first-hand knowledge! The ballroom is the perfect size for a wedding of 200-250 people; it strikes just the right balance between intimacy and spaciousness. And the fact that they have the balcony overlooking the golf course available for the cocktail hour was outstanding. I really wanted to have bring the outdoor in without having the wedding outdoors (the floor to ceiling windows also helped). The major detraction I have was the fact that about a week befor the wedding, the wedding planner w/the venue that we had worked left for another job, and the new planner was not familiar w/the terms of our contract. In sum, they tried to charge as more than what we had originally agreed to so needless to say, my hubby was livid, and I was ready to tear my hair out. In the end, we were able to work it out, but that's the last thing any bride (or groom) wants to worry about right before the wedding. Take home message: always get everyting in writing."

According to reports, former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi was killed by rebels in Sirte. Cellphone photos have led to widespread speculation. Get details about his death, the attack, and Hillary Clinton's reaction.
UPDATE: President Barack Obama confirmed Moammar Gadafi's death.
'Today we can definitively say that the Gadhafi regime has come to an end. The last major regime strongholds have fallen. A new government is consolidating control over the country. One of the world's longest serving dictators is no more,' Obama declared in a statement.
The WhiteHouse and Department of State have yet to confirm Moammar Gadhafi's death, but officials have informed the media of the former leader's demise.
'Wow,' Hillary Clinton exclaimed when the news was presented to her. 'Unconfirmed reports of Gadhafi's death, but we've seen a lot of those.'
Reports claim that Gadhafi was killed when fighters stormed a home in Sirte. He allegedly fled on a convoy and a NATO airstrike blasted the vehicle.
Others says that Gadhafi was hiding in the home or near a sewage area and pleaded not to be shot. He was either shot in the head, hit in the head, and/or injured in the leg.
Photos and video were released with what is believed to be Gadhafi bloodied. Watch the video below to see celebration surrounding the body in question.

Von Metzke "groomed" underaged girls by texting
Teens reported him, but theatre slow to act
Don Bauder 2 p.m., June 25
Pregnancy is a humbling experience. Family, friends, total strangers feel compelled to comment on the size and shape of my body. The rounder I become, the bolder people get. At 28 weeks out of a 40-week pregnancy, I have taken on the dimensions of a big, comfy sofa. My arms and legs and ass are round. My belly protrudes like the nose cone on a 747. Between now and the end of September, when my fifth child is due to arrive, I know I'll only get bigger.
My children let me know how big I am. Living in a house filled with four children aged seven or younger, I long ago abandoned the concept of privacy. Last Monday morning, I stepped into the shower about 7:30. My husband Jack had left for work a few minutes before 6:00, while the rest of us slept. Rebecca, Angela, Lucy, and John had awakened one at a time and joined me in Jack's and my giant bed. At 7:30 as I closed the bathroom door behind me, Rebecca read a book to two-year-old Johnny. Angela and Lucy played quietly with some stuffed animals in the corner.
"I really like the way you guys are playing nicely together," I told the two younger girls. "And Rebecca, thank you for reading to Johnny. I'm going to take my shower. I'll be out in just a few minutes."
I ran the shower until the water turned hot then stepped under the steamy spray. I watched rivulets run down the great curve of my belly and disappear over the edge. Above the shower's hiss, I heard Johnny wail. The doorknob jiggled for about 30 seconds, then the door flew open. Through the shower door's opaque glass, I could see Johnny's small outline. "Momma no take a shower," he cried.
"I'll be out in just a second," I called, rinsing the shampoo from my hair.
"Okay, Momma," Johnny sniffed and disappeared out the door.
When I stepped out of the shower a minute or so later, Johnny's shape had been replaced by five-year-old Angela's. Angela gazed at my great naked body. From her perspective, eyes about level with my protruding navel, I must have looked like a super tanker viewed from the deck of a small sailing ship. "Mommy," Angela said with a tone of wonder in her voice, "your tummy is getting fatter."
"That's right," I told her, toweling water from the fat tummy. "That's because the baby is getting bigger."
"Mommy," Angela continued, "your legs are getting fatter."
"That's right," I answered again. "That's what happens when I have a baby in my tummy. I get bigger all over."
"Mommy," Angela hadn't finished, "your arms are getting fatter."
I paused and looked at my upper arms in the mirror. Over the past several weeks, I had taken secret pride in the fact that my arms and shoulders still looked relatively normal. "Okay," I said. "Out of the bathroom. I need to get dressed."
Angela wasn't the only one to notice my expanding outline. During a quick trip to a local maternity shop to pick up some extra-large shorts, I stood at the counter paying for my purchase. The store's proprietor, a blonde woman in her 40s, stood about ten feet away hanging up new merchandise. "So," she asked me in a friendly tone of voice, "how far along are you?"
"Six months," I answered.
"SIX MONTHS?" she asked staring at my belly. "Are you sure you don't have twins in there?"
"Yes, quite sure," I told her. When I got to my car, I burst into tears. "This woman looks at pregnant ladies all day long," I thought. "I must be huge."
A doctor, not my own, confirmed the maternity-store owner's assessment just a few days later. Riding up in an elevator in a Hillcrest medical arts building last Thursday, I scooted back when the door opened on the third floor. Two doctors stepped on. One wore a white jacket and looked young, like an intern. The other, wearing a tweed jacket with a stethoscope hung over his shoulders, looked to be in his 50s. As the elevator doors closed, the older doctor looked at me with a solicitous smile. "How are things going?" he asked and nodded in the direction of my belly.
"Very well, thank you," I answered. I hoped the conversation would end there. It didn't.
"How much longer do you have?" the older doctor continued.
"About three months."
"Three months?" he asked as though I'd just told him the baby was due sometime in January. "Whew," he shook his head.
"It's my fifth," I offered hoping that might explain my size. "My fifth in seven years."
He didn't seem to have heard. "Three more months, huh? Is there just one in there?"
The elevator doors opened. The two doctors stepped off. "Well," the older doc held the door and looked again at my belly, "good luck."
"Thanks," I called after him. "Asshole," I muttered as the elevator doors closed.

text: Slam Dunk American Airlines Center scores winning digital signage Contributor * required fields From* To* Message cancel American Airlines Center, the $420 million home of the Dallas Mavericks and Stars, located in an up-and-coming brownfield development just north of the city's historic West End, isn't the latest arena to open. It is, however, a seminal one. In terms of digital signage, it broke ground on the latest generation of stadium display technology. Its electronic features - at the time considered not only over-the-top expensive but downright risky - have become de rigueur. And the facility is actually credited with fundamentally changing how advertisers participate in professional sports venues. An $8 million package for the bowl, which contains the athletic surface and the spectator seating areas, amounted to about 2 percent of the total project cost, a lofty figure when the facility was built in 2001. Part of the cost went toward a large total area of light-emitting diode (LED) array for game information, video, and advertising messages. And behind the scenes, an integrated scoring, video, and information system extended its cable tentacles to the scoreboard, message displays, two dozen clocks, and even ticket-window boards. When it was being built, the arena's digital signage was billed by its owners as "the largest and most sophisticated in the world for a sports-and-entertainment venue." Most observers dismissed the rhetoric as the usual hype that accompanies a stadium project. In retrospect, however, the naysayers might have been wrong. Technological Firsts First, a few facts. American Airlines Center contains several technological firsts that have become standard since. For example, the building was the first to use high-definition television (HDTV) wide screens throughout the building. In the bowl, sports fans for the first time would be treated to three major sources of game-related information and entertainment: a scoreboard, "end-zone" screens, and a long LED array, known as a fascia or ring-beam display, that rings the entire bowl. And the circular screen - only the third in the world at the time - was the first to be architecturally designed into a sports bowl. Clearly, this was a milestone for architect-integrated digital signage. "When it opened in 2001, the center had more electronic displays in the bowl than any other in the country, and the largest center-hung display in the world," says Joe Laakman, project manager and vice president of Dallas-based HKS Inc., the architect of record. The full-color LED arrays offered many options for the event producers, advertisers, and sponsors. Too many, perhaps? "When we first took the concept of digitized signage to this level, mostly we were concerned that the advertisers get the same benefits as with traditional display approaches, because with static signage the sign is always there," says Brad Mayne, president and CEO of American Airlines Center. According to Mayne, the arena's ownership took a high-stakes gamble that the benefits would far outweigh any such losses. The gamble paid off. Since they made that call, American Airlines Center has helped change way advertising is bought and sold for sports games. Its success lay in a novel sponsorship concept that gives willing (and paying) advertisers the run of the house - on a time-share basis. "The improved technology allowed sponsors to buy signage by exclusivity and time, rather than the traditional square footage," Mayne recalls. "As a sponsor, you could advertise exclusively on the scoreboard for an entire period, or around the bowl of the arena. Or you could create special times during the event when it is exclusive for one sponsor." Mayne's new axiom: "Exclusivity means more impact." Architectural Novelty While leveraging digital signage inside the bowl was paramount for their revenue model, the owners wanted an attractive and dynamic experience "off the playing field," too. Their main competitor was the 1980 Reunion Arena, a high-tech-looking affair a few miles away sporting a red-bordered band of dark ribbon windows and a newly refurbished interior. For the American Airlines Center, the architectural imagery had to be unique. Planners at Ross Perot Jr.'s real estate company Hillwood chose to go traditional, hiring the classicist David M. Schwarz of Washington, D.C. Unsurprisingly, his solution was a rigorously symmetrical plan clad in brick, limestone, and granite, with entrances on each of four sides. Impressive balconies on the north and south façades offered views to the city and environs. Inside, Schwarz and HKS emphasized "fan friendliness" over efficiency. Ringing the bowl were ample concourses lined with concessions, exhibits, and public artwork. "For the overall design, we didn't want the concourses to be a racetrack, common looking throughout," says Laakman. "So we used signage to give identity to various areas." The concourses are dedicated to individual sponsors: Ford, Coors Light, American Airlines. In addition to static posters and digital displays, like a large video wall for American Airlines, the design relies heavily on 3-D elements - oversized beer cans, pickup trucks, and museum-quality airplane models. Stodgy Newcomer? With its neotraditional ornament and historical references to the Dallas of yore, American Airlines Center might have been viewed as a stodgy old newcomer. But the project's planner had an ace in the hole: digital sign technology. According to Mayne, the project team stealthily developed a display infrastructure generations beyond that of Reunion Arena. Integration was its underpinning and diversity of expression its hallmark. The project checklist included a huge center-hung scoreboard with 24 screens; 16 full-color digital advertising displays; more than 200 static and rotating panels; 24 ticket-window displays; two video arrays outside to promote events; and luxury suites with flat-panel plasma screens and Internet access, totaling 770 TV monitors. Even better, the new building was riding atop an underground information superhighway of fiber-optic cable. Its location turned out to be a technological boon. "The signage at American Airlines Center will have a huge impact on the fan experience," Mayne predicted at the time. Other benefits would accrue to sponsors: no costs for sign materials and designs, for example. "You can just take a picture of the product, digitize it, and change it with special effects. Create motion, flash it, twist it - anything a computer can do. And you can make changes on the fly." The most visible place to morph one's product or logo is on the gargantuan eight-sided scoreboard hanging 35 feet above the athletic surface. At 25 feet tall and 50 feet long, the 80,000-pound high-tech chandelier features full-color LED-based video boards rendering 68 billion colors. In total, 2.4 million red, green, and blue LEDs grouped in modular plug-in boards are housed in the assembly. Two dozen displays show live video, instant replays, animation, graphics, game information, and advertising messages. The 360-degree fascia display had only been installed in two other arenas at the time - the Xcel Center in St. Paul, MN, and the Pepsi Center in Denver. Called an "electronic message board" at the time, the very long, flat-panel LED array runs along the precast-concrete ring beams of the so-called "Platinum Level," encircling the space. It seems well integrated into the architecture, and there's a reason: "We were the first to have the fascia ring designed into the bowl itself," Mayne says proudly. In fact, the circular screen was planned for a higher level, the upper concourse, says Laakman. "But they decided to lower the display, because they realized that the lower elevation gave them the opportunity for more TV shots." Since the American Airlines Center was built, the use of ring-beam displays has skyrocketed, says Mark Steinkamp, a marketing executive with Daktronics, the Brookings, SD-based supplier of the digital signage. "A lot of existing venues are installing them now. It's almost commonplace and expected." Some universities and office buildings employ them as architectural elements, he adds. "There's lots of room for creative movement and, if they're programmed well, lots of good exposure for sponsors." "It creates an atmosphere that enhances the game experience," says Mayne, adding that the extra design work was worth the effort. "It's an incredible revenue generator." Infrastructure and Environs Other aspects of the architecture support the media installation. For example, instead of metal bars for guardrails and handrails, Schwarz and HKS detailed protective Plexiglas panels to allow undisturbed sightlines. For acoustical control, Dallas-based Wrightson, Johnson, Haddon & Williams Inc. (WJHW) developed tiles, nylon swags, and large, flat surfaces for the ceiling plane. During music performances, the nylon banners absorb sound; the acoustical planes bounce audience noise toward the event level during sports games. Engineering focused on redundancy and growth - yes, even more digital signage to come. Extra raceway, ductwork, and conduit were included for future wiring, and the utility closets contained ample room for upgrades. "They pushed the envelope at that time, definitely," Steinkamp comments. "They really went out of their way to make sure there was lots of information for the fans." Even on the exterior of the arena, arriving crowds are entertained by a large video-capable marquee and numerous signs attached to snorkel-shaped air-intake vents. Although the America Airlines Center was the first building to open on a large urban development, Victory, the arena's contents and exterior would presage the eventual look of the entire project. Digital signage, it seemed, became a fixation for Perot. He announced an "unprecedented outdoor media installation" for the two-building Victory Plaza complex of retail and office space (see A Victory for Signage, page 16). The LED-based video walls are being built at the stadium's doorstep. LEDs Drive Applications Inside and out, the arena's signage specification was LED, which appealed for several reasons. First, costs have decreased substantially in recent years as the systems achieved better brightness levels, higher efficiencies, and longer lifetimes. Second, the advent of high-power LEDs for full-color use paved the way for architectural adoption. Third, the relatively small light sources are flexible and easily programmable in digital arrays. Last, only compact-fluorescent lamps are more energy efficient, while LEDs last as much as five times longer than the fluorescent sources. "This technology is applicable to any building that has space available in a high-traffic area," says David Laird, president of the Strategy Institute, a Toronto-based research and education company. "Instead of traditional static signs, now multiple advertising campaigns can be generating multiple dollars for the property owners." Echoes Laakman, "Displays are getting better today, and they give operators more revenue streams. At baseball games, the imagery behind home plate changes every inning." Steinkamp adds that new LED-based applications are on the way, including a transparent basketball shot clock, a courtside digital scorers' table, and plastic hockey-rink barriers embedded with displays. Digital signs bring ancillary benefits as well, notes Laird, such as integration into building-wide security and notification systems - not to mention alleviating customer boredom while they wait in lines. Seen in this light, the American Airlines Center is a mere drop in the bucket. But its influential introduction a few years ago shaped the future of professional and collegiate sports signage. "American Airlines Center has raised the technology bar for arenas throughout the country," said Jack Wrightson, a WJHW technology consultant. Mayne sums up: "We call it 'the second experience,' a way to create atmosphere that enhances the primary experience." PHOTO: STEVE HALL @ HEDRICH BLESSING Click Here for Related Products A Victory for SignageJust outside the doors of the American Airlines Center, a massive new urban development is on the rise. At the center of it all is the warm glow of digital signage. Only a few years ago, the 75-acre site now known as Victory contained a derelict power plant and rail yard, both sitting atop contaminated soil. Today, this Dallas hub boasts a total build-out of $3 billion worth of mixed-use projects, including 8 million square feet of entertainment, shopping, offices, and homes by the time it's finished. So why digital signage? Apparently influenced by the media accolades (and advertising revenues) garnered by the high-tech systems in American Airlines Center, Dallas developer Ross Perot Jr. has called for four large four-color boards with coordinated displays as the focal point of Victory Plaza, a two-building complex of approximately 200,000 square feet of retail and office space. The effect will be even better than that of Times Square, Perot has boasted. Why? Because all the signs are controlled by the same entity, thus allowing for more beauty and creativity. The rhetoric from Perot's real estate company, Hillwood, echoes the hype of a few years ago for the arena. It will be an "unprecedented outdoor media installation featuring the most sophisticated, high-definition LED technology currently available in the world," Perot has bragged. The Victory district also will incorporate a "cutting-edge integrated technology system, creating a wireless district," as well as a dedicated "media network" to support broadcast programming, zoned music and audio, and live-feed capabilities. Far from envious, the arena's management sees the introduction of more digital signage as good news. "The two buildings for video walls are right out our front door," says Brad Mayne, president and CEO of American Airlines Center. "There are four large video walls that are moveable. They can be assembled as one unit or broken down to two or one video boards. The idea is to create an atmosphere similar to Times Square." The project's second phase, the $450 million Victory Park, was unveiled last May. While the entire build-out of 12 million square feet is anticipated for 2008, many of its six constituent buildings come on line this year. The phase includes 4,000 residential units, a hotel, nine restaurants, indoor and outdoor recreation facilities, and 4 million square feet of office and retail space. The first ribbon-cutting in Victory Park celebrated the arrival of a 250-room W Hotel that included 140 residences in two towers. The third phase envisages the tallest residential structure in Dallas, a 600-foot-high tower designed by the architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox. Other architects involved in the Victory development include SWA, Orne + Associates, Elkus Manfredi, and BOKA Powell Associates. While the project's unusual take on integrating signage into a large development has required concerted effort and the occasional zoning variance, the concept has received kudos from the public and critics, as well as from public officials. "Victory's distinct design and unique offerings will attract national attention and major business growth," says Dallas City Council member John Loza. "It's transforming what was a blighted area into a new urban destination."

Hired Mr. Lenowitz to handle title transfer on a timeshare property. It took an inordinate amount of time for him to complete the process. He didn't provide an estimate for the closing, and I, mistakenly, did not ask. The final bill, I believe, was on the high side. I had to keep after him to be kept updated. The worse thing that he did was to send an e-mail intended for me, to prospective buyer, saying that I had not paid a particular fee. In point of fact I had paid the fee, to the title processing agent, as he directed. But when I pointed out the fact that he had sent such an e-mail to the buyer, in error, his attitude was, What's the big deal?" Lastly, I just checked with the time share managing agent to see if the title had been transferred to the buyer, I was told that some of the necessary paperwork had not been submitted so the process has not been completed as Mr. Lenowitz claimed!! Mr. Lenowitz, said he submitted all of the paperwork. So now I have to check with the time share again, and probably have them contact Mr. Lenowitz to request whatever it is that is missing. It's been very frustrating dealing with Mr. Lenowtiz. I would never use him again, or recommend him to anyone.

THE U.S. Open tennis tournament will increase its annual prizemoney to $50 million by 2017 - nearly double what it was last year - and switch back to a Sunday men's final in 2015.
The tournament also is adding an extra $4.1 million to this year's prize pool, on top of a $4 million jump already announced in December, bringing 2013's payout to $33.6 million. It was $25.5 million in 2012.
Those moves, aimed at improving relations with players seeking more say and more money, have been formally presented to the ATP Player Council in Key Biscayne, Florida. Details were provided to the AP by U.S. Tennis Association officials in telephone interviews Tuesday.
The USTA plans to announce the changes Wednesday (US time).
The USTA move comes after the Australian Open lifted prizemoney by $4 million to a record $30 million for the 2013 Open.

"Freitas... has carried out the most extensive empirical research to date of college students' sexual practices, sexual ethics, sexual confusion, and sexual heartache... An unequivocal must-read for church leaders, college and seminary professors, and parents." --Perspectives: A Journal of Reformed Thought
"In Sex and the Soul, Donna Freitas models a lovingly Catholic attention to evangelicals, a surprisingly evangelical attention to Catholics, and a passionate, creative attention to the desires of all college students. Freitas is America's foremost young writer on how religious traditions impact everyday life." --Tom Beaudoin, author of Consuming Faith
"Sex and the Soul is both disturbing and hopeful. Donna Freitas is a skilled and sympathetic interlocutor, and her prescriptions for addressing the 'hookup culture' merit serious consideration." --Randall Balmer, author of Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America
"Relying on exhaustive research and analysis, this unflinching work delivers both a widely comprehensive and deeply intimate portrait of hook-up culture in this formidably spiritual generation, examining its contradictions, broken hearts, and impossible promises like no one has before. Sex and the Soul should be required reading for anyone interested in today's campus culture -- and tomorrow's adulthood." --Lauren Sandler, author of Righteous: Dispatches from the Evangelical Youth Movement
"How to explain the rise in the 'spiritual but not religious' option among U.S. college students? Might sex have something to do with it? In this provocative book, one of the country's foremost scholars of religion and youth culture answers this question with an emphatic YES! At the heart of this pathbreaking (and heartbreaking) book are the stories of college students 'searching alone' for ways to bring their bodies into conversation with their beliefs. Smart, learned, beautifully written, and above all humane -- this book should jump-start a national conversation on how the sexual revolution has trapped students as much as it has freed them." --Stephen Prothero, author of Religious Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know -- and Doesn't
Named one of the Best Religion Books of 2008 by Publishers Weekly
''Fascinating, disturbing...Freitas's tone is engaging and her writing persuasive...Freitas's work chronicles a poignant spiritual loss that students themselves articulate and mourn.''--Publishers Weekly
"Candid, disturbing, yet ultimately hopeful...Throughout this beautifully written book, Freitas presents students' feelings and experiences in an unflinching yet compassionate way. You care about these young people and their struggles. This book is a great service to students, parents, and those at colleges and universities who want to prepare young adults not just for the workplace but for healthy and fulfilling lives." --Christian Science Monitor
''Fascinating...provocative...Anyone with any interest in mentoring young people should read this book and its recommendations, because there's great hope and wisdom in them.'' --The Weekly Standard
''A wonderful, mind-clearing book...Freitas's book is a boon to anyone who not only cares about our nation's young people, but who has previously learned about this phenomenon only through rumors or anecdotes. Read her book, based on dozens of interviews, for the real scoop.'' --James Martin, SJ, America
''Freitas's book should scare Catholic parents into asking some honest questions early and often.... Freitas has opened those dorm rooms a crack and allowed us to hear how we're doing. We need to listen up.'' --Commonweal
"The level of technicality of the writing is formal but also easily understood. The author descibes her ideas and findings in general yet detailed ways and provide helpful definitions and explanations of terminology." --Hennie Weiss
"Sex and the Soul is s powerful read and excellent...The candid, eye-opening narrative removes the barriers of ignorance and equips individuals to dialogue more openly about spirituality and sexuality." --Christy Rowden
"In general, the book provides a quality read for those interested in how religion intersects with the sexual decision-making of young adults." --BYU Studies Quarterly

Obama Must Follow Balfour on Palestinian State
There may be something new under the sun after all - at least since the days when Arthur Balfour promised the Jews a National Home in Palestine and Trygve Lie oversaw the UN General Assembly's endorsement of the partition of Palestine.
Last month, the Palestinian Prime Minister, Salam Fayyad, unveiled a government program "to establish a de facto state apparatus within the next two years," regardless of progress in negotiations with Israel. For the first time, the Palestinians have a leader who genuinely wants a state. While Yasser Arafat extolled that golden goal, he seemed more keen on state-destroying than state-building. The anti-Zionist revolution had dominated his ideological and practical agenda, overshadowing accommodation with Israel and the construction of a viable Palestinian polity.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas followed suit. Just two weeks prior to Fayyad's declaration, Abbas led the Fatah Sixth General Conference, the first in twenty years, to resolutions that ratified its charter, which holds that "armed struggle is a strategy, not a tactic. ... This struggle will not stop until the Zionist entity is eliminated and Palestine is liberated." Admittedly, radical rhetoric often veils political pragmatism, and relatively moderate Fatah leaders are no exception. Talk and text, however, do reveal ideas and, in particular, an elite's perception of prevalent public opinion. The conference participants do not believe that their people are ready or willing to explicitly disengage from the anti-Zionist revolution, or to substitute a positive battle for a negative one. They may be right, but Fayyad seems to think otherwise.
Far from being a pro-Zionist, Fayyad put forth his own "disengagement plan," a proactive strategy for unilateral action to cut the conflict's Gordian knot. It might work. There remain only two roads not taken to a two-state solution: a pan-Palestine plebiscite, an all-inclusive referendum, which may create a foundation of popular legitimacy for such a solution; or else the creation of a Palestinian state before (hopefully) reaching peace. Achingly pragmatic, Fayyad chose the latter. Unwise allusions apart, Fayyad is following in the footsteps of the once glorious, but currently disintegrating, Zionist Labor movement (whose last real leader was, ironically enough, the comatose Ariel Sharon). "One more acre, one more goat," was its motto during the Zionist heydays of state-building, the construction of the "Yishuv" as an incipient Jewish state. Fayyad's bold attempt to re-embody the Zionist model depends on many factors, first and foremost on the Palestinian people. If the Palestinians want a state, they shall have it. The resolution of the West Bank population to eschew terror in favor of civil projects, notwithstanding the Hamas-Fatah strife, will determine much of the outcome. So will US policy.
Enter Obama's long-awaited speech at the opening of the 64th session of the UN General Assembly. Recent reports seem to indicate a growing inclination in the administration to include in the speech an explicit endorsement of Fayyad's plan: the establishment of a Palestinian state within two years, with or without peace. Obama seems keen on becoming the Lie of the 21st century. As the first elected Secretary-General of the United Nations, Lie chaired the United Nations General Assembly's endorsement of Resolution 181, the plan to partition Palestine into one Arab and one Jewish state. This is a tempting, but highly dangerous, proposition. Tempting, because it is partly right - if the Palestinians want a state, they should have it. Dangerous, because it is partly wrong - state-construction is a long and tedious process; one which the Palestinians have only recently begun. It can, and should, be facilitated, but shortcuts, and their potential cataclysmic offshoots must be avoided.
Once Obama puts the full weight of the U.S. behind an unconditional Palestinian state, with a definite two-year deadline, he pulls the rug out from under Israel's feet in the West Bank. In the eyes of Palestinians and Jewish settlers alike, Israel's government will instantly be transformed into an incarnation of the British Mandate in the twilight months that followed the November 1947 UN resolution. Formally, it is still the occupying force; practically, it lives on a borrowed time, with a defined expiration date: spring 2011. Israel's government, like the British Mandate, will cease to be an address; the U.S. and the UN will take its place. Radical Jewish settlers will now target the latter, rather than the Israeli public and leaders. Fighting over illegal outposts will become irrelevant. A whole different ball game will ensue, with militants aiming to show the world, and Obama in particular, that they will not yield. Guerrilla warfare may follow, turning the West Bank into a battle zone from which a Palestinian state may never emerge. Israel's government will find it hard to sit idle, and will likely engage, directly and indirectly, with the civil war, which may well escalate and percolate into Israel. Will U.S. soldiers then be called upon to open fire?
This scenario can, and must, be avoided. A Palestinian state may indeed be achieved only by bloodshed, but the Obama administration should do its best to minimize the risk of that. Now is not the time for Lie, but for Balfour. Obama's speech should follow the path of the late British statesman, promising to "view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the [Palestinian] people, and use [the U.S.'s] best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object. ..."
In two years, Lie's time may come.

All former Gurkhas who have served for four years with the British army and wish to live in the United Kingdom will be allowed to do so, the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, announced today.
In a reversal of previous guidelines that prevented all but a small number of Gurkhas being granted the right to settlement in the UK, Smith said: "Generations of Gurkhas have served the United Kingdom with great courage, sacrifice and distinction and they continue to make a vital and valued contribution to our operations around the world.
"We respect the will of the House of Commons on this issue and that is why I have now announced a new policy, the basis of which we have worked on with the home affairs select committee and Gurkha representatives. This means we can now welcome any Gurkha who has served for four years or more to settle in the UK."
The actor Joanna Lumley had tears in her eyes as she heard, via a radio, Smith's statement to the Commons. Gathered outside with dozens of the Nepalese soldiers and their campaigners, she cheered loudly and shouted Ayo Gurkhali, meaning the Gurkhas are coming. It was a day for celebration, she said.
The change of policy came after a vociferous and emotional campaign. In spite of being told to improve policy by a high court judge, the government came up with a series of new rules that were widely condemned by the public and MPs. The turnaround came after the government suffered its first big defeat last month by 21 votes, as 27 Labour rebels joined the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats in demanding equal residency rights for all Gurkha soldiers.
Gordon Brown stepped in and said the issue would be addressed as a matter of urgency. Lumley, who had had a cup of tea with him at Downing Street this morning, said Brown was a "brave man who has made a brave decision on behalf of the bravest of the brave".
She said: "For the people of Great Britain, what could be greater than to open our arms and say 'the Gurkhas are coming'." The prime minister had assured her that applications would be rushed through and letters to applicants would be sent out next Monday. "He has simply put his foot on the accelerator and said 'I am going to rush this through'."
Martin Howe, one of the legal team representing the Gurkhas, said: "It took less than two weeks for the case to come to a proper resolution, a just resolution, a moral resolution. We are not looking backwards. Now men who weren't able to come here will be here with their families." His colleague, David Enright, said: "Less than a month ago we were in tears and here we are in tears of joy."
Lumley had had the immigration minister, Phil Woolas, round to her flat yesterday evening for "fish and chips and champagne". Two weeks ago she had ambushed him when she saw him leaving a television studio after five former Gurkhas received letters from the Home Office apparently telling them they did not qualify to settle in Britain. Woolas said: "It was a very productive meeting. Ms Lumley has devoted herself to this campaign because of her father. She is a tremendous advocate and, if I need her to support my own re-election campaign, then I will certainly be inviting her to come up to Oldham."
MPs from all parties had supported the campaign and many gathered to congratulate the Gurkhas. Labour MP Martin Salter said: "In a month that has been appalling for the House of Commons, and made many of us ashamed to be here, I want to say unequivocally that I am proud to be a member of this House of Commons today. This has been a rare good day for parliament.
"This is an example where members of parliament across the house, working with a brilliant and inspirational campaign out there in the country which touched the core of the British sense of fair play, did the right thing by people who are prepared to risk their lives for this country. And I thank the home secretary and the government for belatedly seeing the light."
Madar Kumar Gurung, who is currently awaiting a decision on whether he will be allowed to settle in the UK, said: "Today is a great day. I feel very happy but at the same time during this fight I have lost 13 of my colleagues who have been waiting for a decision. I hope they are in heaven watching this day. My settlement is in the pipeline but I won't be convinced until I get the paperwork in my hands."

Hudson -- As the elation of winning Super Bowl XLVIII began to set in for the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks, another type of reality was setting in for a 2003 Hudson High School graduate and his team of friends who recently filmed and submitted a potential $1 million commercial for Doritos.
Steve Olson was the title character in "Office Thief." Olson, formerly of Hudson, played an office worker covered in suspicious crumbs, who is questioned by his boss about the Doritos missing from the break room.
While the commercial was not among the two aired, it was a top five finalist out of 5,000 submissions. Of the five, a fan favorite determined by vote, and a sponsor favorite were picked to air.
During the Feb. 2 world-wide Super Bowl broadcast, Olson watched and waited with each commercial break to see if "Office Thief" was going to be played.
"I'd say I started at slightly nervous and transitioned to completely exasperated," Olson said of the wait. "We'd all imagined the exhilaration of winning this contest, but the reality is you're apprehensive about losing."
Olson and the Office Thief team "reached out to everyone we knew for support, because the winners were based off public voting," according to Olson.
"So I could feel that weight and absolutely did not want to let anyone down," he said.
Around the middle of the fourth quarter Olson realized the commercial was not going to be played.
"Doritos planned on playing two of the five finalists," Olson said. "'Time Machine' played in the first quarter, which we kind of expected, then the suspense would increase with every commercial break. Then 'Cowboy Kid' came on at the end of the fourth quarter, and that was that."
Olson described the realization as "not a terrific one."
"I wouldn't put it in the top-10 most delightful moments of my life," Olson said. "More than any personal benefit I might have received, I wanted everyone that supported us to have that moment of excitement."
Olson, who is also appearing in a Pepcid commercial campaign, does not know what will happen to the filmed commercial.
"They haven't given us any indication whether it's going to be used or not in some way," Olson said.
The Pepcid commercial, "Burns Family," is about a family hit with heartburn, Olson said.
"Teresa Ganzel plays the mom, Richard Riehle plays the dad. Some people might know him from 'Office Space,'" Olson said. "If you're so inclined, you can go to my website, www.steveolsonsite.com and sign-up for the mailing list, and I'll send out updates once in a while.
"If you get tired of them, you can always unsubscribe. I may even unsubscribe soon," he joked.
Olson has appeared in several spots including the new Pepcid "Burns Family" commercials and was the "dart guy" in the recent "Dart Player" Zoosk commercial.
Olson was contacted for "Office Thief" by fellow Californian Chris Capel, who wrote and directed the commercial. "Steve was the first and only guy I auditioned for the employee role," Capel said. "I knew right from the start that he understood the joke and what we were going for. He just got it."
Even though the commercial didn't win, Olson said he was thankful for the opportunity and to the ones who voted for the piece.
"I want to say thank you to anyone that helped in any way and that I was completely humbled by your support," Olson said. "Regardless of winning, that was a feeling I haven't experienced on that level."
Olson also said the commercial was not "an all-or-nothing situation."
"Just by being a finalist, we've had doors open that wouldn't have otherwise," Olson added. "It's great when you've given exposure like this, because so many people are trying to make it, and it can be hard to stand out."

Keeping Your Dog Safe in the Heat
It's common sense for most dog owners…but worth repeating how to keep your dog safe in the summer heat. Here are some things you may not know:The Ocean County Health Department is reminding you to try and keep your pets indoors in the air conditioning during this heat.
Of course your pet should always have access to fresh, cool water when it's hot out. And of course your pet should NEVER be left in a car during the heat…but here are some other things you may not know:
— If your dog is overheating, don't give it ice water since that will constrict blood vessels.
— If you suspect overheating in your dog, the signs are panting, a bright red tongue or gums, staggering or acting confused, vomiting, or bloody stool. TAKE YOUR PET TO THE VET IMMEDIATELY IF YOU SEE THESE SIGNS.
— If you haven't taken your dog to a pool, lake, or the ocean, don't assume that all dogs automatically know how to swim. Not all dogs can swim!

Tymoshenko Files Conviction Appeal After Human Rights Ruling
Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko filed a new court appeal in her home country to have her conviction overturned after the European Court of Human Rights ruled her pre-trial detention was unreasonable.
The appeal in Kiev first needs to be heard by the First High Specialized Court before it is passed to the Supreme Court, her attorney, Serhiy Vlasenko, said today in a statement on Tymoshenko's website. The government so far has not used its three-month right to challenge the April 30 ruling by the Strasbourg-based court.
"We are looking forward to when our appeal would be passed on during the next 15 days," Vlasenko said.
Tymoshenko was convicted in October 2011 of abusing her power as prime minister by signing a 2009 natural-gas agreement with Russia that President Viktor Yanukovych says costs his country $6 billion a year more than it should. She denies wrongdoing, saying the Ukrainian leader engineered the charges to silence her opposition views.
Tymoshenko's imprisonment before last year's parliamentary elections is an example of selective justice, according to the European Union, which has delayed signing a pact to bolster ties with Ukraine because of the case.
Yanukovych, whose 2004 victory in a presidential ballot was overturned during the Orange Revolution that Tymoshenko helped lead, has accused the former premier of involvement in crimes including a murder.
The EU has told Yanukovych to resolve issues of selective justice by May in order to sign a so-called Association Agreement that includes a free-trade accord in November in Lithuania, when the country holds the EU's rotating presidency.

I was shooting WWB 115 & 124gr and 50 rounds of Hornady 147gr critical duty. The Hornady was by far the most accurate and very negligible difference in felt recoil.
I love my Glock 19. There is a reason that it is the most recommended gun I can think of. Something about it just makes sense.
Glock 19 is a great gun. I shoot 147gr.
I have a G19 Gen 4and my carry ammo is Gold Dots 147gr. Shoot the best out of my gun after trying those, Federal HST 124gr, Winchester Ranger-T 147gr, and Federal 115gr Hydra Shok.
Great gun. Had 3 FTE in the first 150 rounds but after a thorough cleaning and lubrication, and another 800 rounds with no problems, I feel 100% confident in the weapon.
