 * Mr. Frierson, please accept my sincere apologies. My warning above and subsequent deletion of the article appears to have been in error. I'm not sure what I thought I thought the copyright violation related to as I can't find it now.  In fact I can't find anything wrong with that article other than lacking citations from reliable sources, which can be easily fixed.  Please let me know if you need any help with that.  I don't have any sources, but I can help you get them into the article.  Best regards.  Toddst1 (talk) 14:27, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It appears another admin has deleted the article as blatant advertising independently. Toddst1 (talk) 01:27, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
