...exhibition is like a toy store for grownups. The several thousand products on display range from such low-tech items as a concrete bunker and a machine for filling sandbags at high speed to a nonlethal directed-energy weapon that can heat a human body to an unbearable temperature and an "acoustic sniper finder" that uses eight microphones to locate an enemy shooter based on the sound from his rifle shot...
ABRAMOFF I regret that in the heat of the locker-room atmosphere of the lobbying world, I sometimes--rarely, but sometimes--resorted to language more common to a drill sergeant or a football coach.

Solar photovoltaic panels soak up the sun - even on cloudy days - contributing to the development's overall power mix.

There's no need for central heating because thick brick walls are heavily insulated, and windows are double- and triple-glazed, helping to retain the heat produced by domestic activities such as cooking. As a result, fuel bills can be as little as 10% of those for traditional houses of similar size. Lighting is low energy, too, and water-saving washing machines and low-flush toilets...

They have the clarity and purity one associates with cold air--which makes her rare outbursts of joy and heat and light all the more dazzling...
