I resurrected it because one of the posters just could not leave it alone. After I feigned submision with this obviously sarcastic line: &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"&lt;EM&gt;Uh Oh!, I guess I've been BullShiDOWNED and discovered as a fraud, scam, and BSer in the Martial Arts. I apologize to all of you real Martial Artisists and feel greatly ashamed for trying to fool so many people. I guess now I will crawl back into the hole from which I came. I guess it is time to either enter a few new tournaments or just shut the f$%k up. Thanks for the insight, clarity, and vision you have provided me with.&lt;BR&gt;Fare well&lt;/EM&gt;."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Which I deduce&amp;nbsp;was&amp;nbsp;NOT seen as sarcastic&amp;nbsp;by me, because they&amp;nbsp;bought it and thought they had actually shut me down in their own sad little way. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The poster, who calls him or herself&amp;nbsp;"Scrapper", saw a video highlight of some amateur fights I did 10 years ago, and uploaded to the site's video forum, decided to post the link of the original thread that someone started about me on the site, making remarks about my footwork still being "raw as hell". Clearly he had not read any of the supplemental material that showed it ws "The Beginning" of my self taught practice being introduced into competition.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The normally well intentioned guys&amp;nbsp;at BULLSHIDO (that's sarcasm too) decided to bring me into their [MAB] martial arts bullshit forum to cast me as a fraud, or scam artist in the martial arts. This last long winded post of mine from earlier today sums it up. I am posting it here because I have no other category for it and I usually save everything that I write if I can help it.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Interestingly, The Legend Frank Shamrock, recently wrote a &lt;EM&gt;Mixed Martial Arts for Dummies&lt;/EM&gt; book. In the introductory material before he gets into anything specific about fighting tecniques, he writes a little about credentials for instructors. In itself, it destroys all of the BULLSHIDO communities flawed arguments against me teaching. Shamrock writes:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;"Don't worry if a potential instructor doesn't have belts and trophies covering his walls. Whether an instructor has competed professionally is really a non issue. In fact, some professional fighters aren't the best instructors."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR&gt;They argue that I am a fraud if I take money with claims of grandmastery, which has&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;NEVER&lt;/SPAN&gt; happened. Besides the fact that it was BULLSHIDO that made my self appointed title of GrandMaster of my own practice public. It is really stupid what they have done with information about me that was apparently misinterpreted through their eager yearnings to out fakers. It is all they do.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;My position is that I have every right to teach something I am good at, without having gone through the same type of system others have due to my own powerful desire and dedicated study and practice. I only wish it amuses you at least a fraction of how it tickles me. Ridiculous.&lt;BR&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;YOU HAVE NEVER ACCOMPLISHED OR DARED TO ATTEMPT TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT I HAVE ENDEAVORED TO DO WITH MY LIFE AND EXPERIENCES. So I understand the failure to communicate. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;[QUOTE=Scrapper;2202394]&lt;/STRONG&gt;It was toughman stuff in the vid. No real opponents.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hakeem...I knew you would say all that. Please read again the part about IMPLICIT versus EXPLICIT. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You can call yourself a Grandmaster all you want. You have no credibility.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you are taking money from people to teach them based upon your claims of grandmastery, then you are a fraud. &lt;STRONG&gt;[/QUOTE]&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;You knew cuz your psychic; right. I assure you I will enjoy the rest of this site BULLSHIDO and finally give you people a rest and concede to your wishes to let it go. But I must retort once more just for sake of an amusing cyber-debate if nothing else.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.hypnoathletics.com/"&gt;http://www.hypnoathletics.com/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I have NEVER led ANYONE to believe that I hold any LEGITIMATE martial arts credential so your argument has NO WEIGHT! Through careful re-reading of the posts about me on this thread NONE of your arguments against have any weight what-so-ever. And by legitimate I am sure you mean from some bureacratic, established organization that oversees this sort of thing. Everyone that takes the time to discuss it with me knows I abhor that type of sytem. I do my best to trump it every chance I get. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"I do not claim any loyalty or lineage to any martial arts, combat, or fighting groups or organisation whatsoever with the exception of my own that I have founded; including the mercinary group "Red Coin" (blood money), International Martial Artists Rebellion (I.M.A.R.) and CapThaiKido (CTK)."&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://poems.hypnoathletics.com/2006/04/17/capthaikido.aspx"&gt;http://poems.hypnoathletics.com/2006/04/17/capthaikido.aspx&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;EVERYONE who speaks to me about fighting skills knows I am an outcast self-taught rebel who has decided to bounce around to learn from different people and have enhanced my natural abilities through persistent, logical and intelligent practice with many different sparring partners, street-fights, tough-mans as you call them and other events.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1YqxE5tKgM%am987�ature=channel_page" target=_blank&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1YqxE5tKgM%am987�ature=channel_page&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EMBED height=364 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=445 src=http://www.youtube.com/v/j1YqxE5tKgM&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0xe1600f&amp;amp;color2=0xfebd01&amp;amp;border=1 allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"&gt;&lt;/EMBED&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This is a great video, which by the way, one of this guys videos was posted on BULLSHIDO to support a ninja thread. SwordSage is his YouTube name. It is basically my train of thought in fighting. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For you to say that it is not about credentials anymore, but about credibility is merely backstepping because you know you are wrong. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My credibility is shown by the OBJECTIVE FACT that professional boxers, black belt martial artists and kickboxers, jiu-jitsu practitoners who I work with at Bodies in Motion Encino and Northridge, call me first to teach their classes when they need a sub when many others are available to choose from. Oh, and none of them know that I call myself a GrandMaster because the only place that was ever publicly announced was a here on BULLSHIDO and before in a PRIVATE message that then became public. So it is not that they call me to teach for them because of a title they think I hold or anything I have IMPLIED. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is because of postitive results, which lends itself to positive feedback and my continued success. I am an outstanding practitoner of whatever I choose to do and help other people by sharing my self-taught knowledge in Healthy-Livinf and Self-Defense.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;They would not continue to call me if I was not doing a great job. This goes for other systems I have gone a non-traditional route to learn such as Yoga and Pilates, which I have been teaching for more than 4 years now. People have been hurt by others with certifications in these disciplines, like personal trainers, coaches, fitness class gurus etc and I have never had this happen, and recieve high praise and regard for this. This can be verified by calling the establishment.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I know the human body very, very well because I choose to spend every day and more than 15 hours every day dedicating myself to the study of it and the mind and spirit. I study, practice and teach every day. This very simple formula: STUDY-PRACTICE-TEACH; I have been using daily and with the goal of engaging only in transactions that benefit all whom it effects as a foundation. I stick to these philosophy religiously. It serves me quite well.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;BTW. Many of my opponents were trained wrestlers from USA wrestling, some boxers from PALs and other gyms and martial artists for example, from Steve LaBalle's East Coast Karate and Capoeira Explosion to name a few. The fact that I only have that event on video, and that it was not sanctioned by some red taped governing body means nothing about credibility. It is only your opinion.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Regardless of what you say, I have pressure tested myself in a way I felt appropriate in the street against dangerous people who of course were non-compliant and in amateur, tough man and other forums.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have factually, and anyone who knows me through every stage of my life from 10 yrs old forward will testify that I have never, ever, missed a day of training how to fight. Even when I was in jail, homeless or the mental hospital. It is this very dedication which led me out of that crap.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I thank you guys for your dilligence. But by not considering the facts that I do not claim a lineage, and that I never said I got credentials or credibility from anyone, is a LIE on your part and IDIOCY from anyone who would follow that lie.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To make your arguments against me you have lied or misread what I have posted which is still published and available for examination.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;All you people are defending are simply your own opinions about how a martial artist or a martial art develops. You are DEAD WRONG about me, nothing you write or say can change that.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Stick to the Ashida Kims, Yellow Bamboozlers, Ninjers, Head stomping Willie Dennis' and other fakirs. The only thing SAD about this thread is that some fool decided to start it in the first place and that I actually thought you were intelligent people who were either mistaken or mislead; and attempted to remedy such mis-representation.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Apparently what you are lacking is the understanding through experience what someone who is dedicated can do on their own BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER ACCOMPLISHED OR DARED TO ATTEMPT TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT I HAVE ENDEAVORED TO DO WITH MY LIFE AND EXPERIENCES.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The evidence shows you are just a bunch of conformists who live in a limited world of brainwashed fantasy SCARED and terrified by anything that does not fit in with your childish status quo and box that you choose to live in.&lt;/P&gt;

For writing, one of the main reasons for its power to inspire is because it is one of the simplest and most direct methods of transforming a non-physical or intangible thought, into a physical, material, tangible&amp;nbsp;object - a document that you can see and feel. Like singing or dancing, it is a&amp;nbsp;simple act of creation&amp;nbsp;throgh self expression.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Holographic-Algebra&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;, sometimes called &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;ArithMetaPhysics&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;,&amp;nbsp;is "&lt;EM&gt;a written self-hypnosis exercise using abstract&amp;nbsp;analogies of mathematics and technology&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;EM&gt;as a memorable and fun motivation towards specified or general goals&lt;/EM&gt;." I use writing and reading as analogies for producing holographic plates and projecting the 3-dimensional hologram&amp;nbsp;or manifestation through enlightened desire!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Holographic-Algebra to me, as I will attempt to elucidate, is a means to&amp;nbsp;integrate &lt;EM&gt;intangible&lt;/EM&gt; thoughts and desires, with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;EM&gt;tangible&lt;/EM&gt; ability to write and read. This is a form of motivation to &lt;EM&gt;action &lt;/EM&gt;towards specific&amp;nbsp;goals, or what I refer to as PETs: Personal Exploration Topics.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I am offering these &lt;EM&gt;Synaesthetic Mnemonic Devices&lt;/EM&gt; or Multi-Sensory Memory Tools,&amp;nbsp;as Self-Hypnosis Exercises (SHE)&amp;nbsp;for Creative Visualization and Imagery. After reading and understanding the ideas, you will be able to use just the phrases Holographic-Algebra or ArithMetaPhysics as keys or triggers for your personal post-hypnotic suggestion.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The main idea: Writing is recording&amp;nbsp;as reference to specific ideas, events, objects and people. What you may jot down freely as your thoughts reflect your inner states at the time of writing. Conversely, writing about specified ideas may change your inner state. You may then read back what you have written to trigger the desired state and/or to reenforce the state as a conditioned response of your choosing. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What basically follows is an interesting way to meditate upon how written words effect our subconscious and manifest in our physical reality. It is just a metaphysical-science&amp;nbsp;thought experiment about the mechanics of mental transmutatuion into material reality. I realize that I myself find these types of rituals beneficial as memory tools, to embed a concept that sufficiently motivates me to be creative and productive. Understand that I&amp;nbsp;have coined words and phrases for this purpose. One simple reason is that it is enjoyable to me, and activities which are fun tend to be very motivating and inspiring! So I once again share the inner workings of my personal trance work for you to perhaps discover some utility within it for yourself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;You are probably already aware of the following&amp;nbsp;terms. However, as an introduction to this presentation, I will put forth a few definitions of the individual words that are the foundations of this study and practice of ArithMetaPhysics and Holographic-Algebra. This will be useful in following how I integrate the broken parts&amp;nbsp;into the &lt;EM&gt;whole message&lt;/EM&gt;, and may serve as a guide to my rationale.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;Arithmetic&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; is using the operators of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on integers, complex numbers, real numbers and rational numbers. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;Meta-&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; is a combining form prefix, going before a word, that means beyond, after, a second order or a higher kind.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;Physics&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; is the study of the relationships between matter, energy, space, and time. Also the study of specific physical systems,&amp;nbsp;by&amp;nbsp;applying&amp;nbsp;physical theories.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;Metaphysics&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; is beyond or higher than the physical, and thus refers to studying anything mental or spiritual which is not yet tangible by the accepted, current means of observation and measurement in physics.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;Holograph&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp; is an adjective describing a document that is written in whole by the person named as the author of the document. Derived from the Greek words &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;holos&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; meaning whole, and &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;graphe &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;which means writing.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;Holography&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; is the study and production of holograms.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;Hologram&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;is the 3D image produced when the intensity and phase or frequency information of light is encoded onto film.&amp;nbsp;Derived from two Greek words; &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;holos&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; which means whole, and &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;gramma&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; which means message.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;Algebra&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; comes from the Arabic word &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;al-jebr&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;, which means equation by the reunion of broken parts. Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses symbols, mainly letters in place of numbers and quantities and expresses general relationships for members of specified sets.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;As I understand it, mathematics and arithmetic are the fundamental tools of&amp;nbsp;comprehension required to manifest in the physical world by making predictions&amp;nbsp;with a great deal of accuracy. Math is the symbolic, short-hand language tool used to measure, quantify and record&amp;nbsp;the observations and experiments of physical science. It is&amp;nbsp;the universal language necessary for communicating the experimental results&amp;nbsp;to others who wish to replicate our observations. Math, next to demonstration,&amp;nbsp;is the most accurate tool for this sharing of knowledge and understanding.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The most practical method to begin with any endeavor of manifestation, is the ability and desire to write as a means of impressing your memory and subconscious with plans or options from which to choose &lt;EM&gt;actions&lt;/EM&gt;. There is a difference between numbers and numerals. Numbers are the abstract, intangible ideas about quantity and measurment, while numerals are the symbols used to identify these numbers&amp;nbsp;in written form. Writing is a form of math because it is using symbols in the form of letters, to represent our experience, and our relationship to the people and objects in it.&amp;nbsp;All this means is that when you write what you have experienced, conceptualized, learned or otherwise discovered, it serves as a reenforcement of the information. Thereby making it more accessible and real&amp;nbsp;to you for future application.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So let us take a moment to review how 3-dimensional holograms are produced, and how I use writing as an analogy for producing the 3-dimensional hologram that is our reality. These are the parts of our equation to solve.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Holography&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;To create a hologram, you use a coherent beam of light, such as a laser and split it into two beams. One half,&amp;nbsp;which is the illumination or &lt;EM&gt;object beam&lt;/EM&gt;, is&amp;nbsp;reflected from&amp;nbsp;the object to be reproduced as a 3D image of light, such as a gold coin, onto a high-resolution photographic plate. The other part of the beam is the &lt;EM&gt;reference beam&lt;/EM&gt; and is directly focused onto the same hi-rez photo plate. The light-wave frequency&amp;nbsp;interference pattern created by the interaction of the two beams, is recorded onto the high-resolution photographic plate. The reason this is done is to record the light scattering pattern that is naturally created by the 3-dimensionality of the coin and recieved by our eyes so when we look at the hologram we are tricked by this replication into thinking it is real by sight alone.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;To reproduce the gold coin as a free-standing 3-dimensional image of light,&amp;nbsp;you simply use another coherent beam of light and direct it through the developed photographic plate from behind, in the same direction as the original &lt;EM&gt;reference beam&lt;/EM&gt;. The gold coin now projected in space will change perspective when viewed from different angles. You would only notice it is not the real coin if you touched it! One way to think of it is like a frame of film that you light up from behind with a&amp;nbsp;projector onto a 2-dimensional movie screen. In the case of a hologram, the "screen" is space, and it is in 3D rather than 2D.&amp;nbsp;Similar to the&amp;nbsp;3D space the original&amp;nbsp;gold coin&amp;nbsp;requires to exist.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If you cut a hologram into smaller pieces you can still view the whole image from each part, except from a smaller subset of angles. This is the meaning of &lt;EM&gt;whole message&lt;/EM&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Holograph&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I look at my creative writing in a similar way. A piece of paper or word processor is my high-resolution photographic plate. The desire&amp;nbsp;I may have for a real gold coin, is the original coherent laser beam of my focus. It is then split into two parts. One half, the&amp;nbsp;illumination or &lt;EM&gt;object&amp;nbsp;beam&lt;/EM&gt; -as I recall, visualize or imagine a gold coin, is then "reflected" onto the page or screen with my line of sight. The other half,&amp;nbsp;is the&amp;nbsp;&lt;EM&gt;reference beam&lt;/EM&gt;, which are my hands or action-potential nerve impulses sent to my hands, ready to type or write. The writing that takes place, about my&amp;nbsp;desires and plans of &lt;EM&gt;action&lt;/EM&gt; for earning&amp;nbsp;a gold coin,&amp;nbsp;is the interference pattern of these two "beams" recorded onto the hi-rez photo plate, page or screen. Reading back the written word&amp;nbsp;then, is like illuminating the developed photographic plate, in this case a&amp;nbsp;document or holograph, to produce or manifest a gold coin. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The difference here is that since I did not begin with a real gold coin, just one from desire, memory and ideas about gold coins, it does not manifest immediately in space from nowhere. Just as a 3D hologram of a gold coin in holography is not the real gold coin, only a re-presentation of it. The representation, for review and study, serves as motivation impressed upon the subconscious mind or memory as an option. The document is a piece of film that can be filed away and accessed for proper motivation and review of plans of &lt;EM&gt;action&lt;/EM&gt;.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Algebra&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;I also regard this process as a reunion of broken or separate parts. If having a gold coin or more money is my goal, then the lack of money is my&amp;nbsp;random variable "X" to be solved for.&amp;nbsp;Again,&amp;nbsp;I use&amp;nbsp;symbols, mainly letters combined into words to express the actual objects of my desire I do not already possess. By bringing together my desire, imagination, writing, reading and planning, I am able to solve for X. To solve simply means a course of&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;action&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; that effectively deals with a problem. By acting on my plans, I earn a gold coin.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So here you have the idea&amp;nbsp;of how I use writing as an analogy for producing the 3-dimensional holograms of my&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;reality. Once you understand this concept, all you need to do is use the&amp;nbsp;terms &lt;EM&gt;Holographic-Algebra&lt;/EM&gt; or &lt;EM&gt;ArithMetaPhysics&lt;/EM&gt; as trigger words of the idea. This is the "secret" to this practice of manifestation. The full comprehension that you adopt and adapt from this presentation may serve as a self-implanted post-hypnotic suggestion or embedded command.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;This is the key to simplicity and self-hypnosis.&amp;nbsp;Through a thorough understanding of an apparently complex set of ideas, you may then use all of the information by the mere act of recalling, reciting or repeating&amp;nbsp;a few words that contain packets of useful information.</description><category>Delusions</category><comments>http://poems.hypnoathletics.com/2008/09/26/arithmetaphysics-and-holographic-algebra-two-sides-of-the-same-coin.aspx#Comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">5b630994-c3f5-453c-ba5f-5691c35bc324</guid><pubDate>Sat, 27 Sep 2008 06:16:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Turning Green</title><link>http://poems.hypnoathletics.com/2008/08/22/turning-green.aspx?ref=rss</link><dc:creator>Alexander</dc:creator><description>If I could save the world,&lt;BR&gt;I would not lift a hand.&lt;BR&gt;Instead I change myself,&lt;BR&gt;'Cuz that's in high demand.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I look into my mind,&lt;BR&gt;And I become one.&lt;BR&gt;If I create my world,&lt;BR&gt;Then what have I done?&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;oh...
