Free to Be... You and Me… and a Feminist
Free to Be... You and Me… and a Feminist
More From Ruth Bader
Ruth Bader's Biography
Early Fan: To her amazement, when Ginsburg gave a talk at the University of Arkansas Law School decades ago, a curious then-Governor Bill Clinton showed up to listen.
Close-Knit Family: Ginsburg's mother's sister was married to her father's brother. The two couples combined households and raised their children together.
Superwoman: Ginsburg's husband was diagnosed with cancer at the start of their time at Harvard Law School. During his recovery, Ginsburg not only cared for him and their young daughter while maintaining her own course load, she also took notes in all of his classes and typed his dictated papers.
Most Meaningful Advice Received: From her mother-in-law on her wedding day (accompanied by a packet of earplugs): "Every now and then it helps to be a little deaf...That advice has stood me in good stead. Not simply in dealing with my marriage, but in dealing with my colleagues."
Long before Ruth Bader Ginsburg became only the second woman ever appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, she broke countless legal and professional barriers for women. Raised in a working-class neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY, Ginsburg graduated first in her class from Cornell University in 1954. She started a family with her college sweetheart Martin Ginsburg and enrolled in Harvard Law School where she was one of only nine women in her class. She became one of the first woman elected to the Harvard Law Review, a feat she repeated at Columbia Law School, where she transferred for her final year.
Although Ginsburg graduated first in her class from Columbia, she found herself turned away by most law firms and judges who refused to hire a woman. Thanks to the extensive intervention of a Columbia professor, she secured a judicial clerkship in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. In 1963, she began teaching at Rutgers University Law School, one of only twenty women or so teaching law in the country at that time. She went on to teach at Columbia Law School from 1972 to 1980 and there became the school's first female tenured professor.
At the same time that Ginsburg was setting new professional precedents for women she was turning her attention to their unequal treatment under the law. As a volunteer lawyer at the New Jersey offices of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in the 1960s, she saw a growing number of sex discrimination cases brought, thanks to the just-passed 1964 Civil Rights Act's Title VII. Inspired by these cases and the interest of her students, she began teaching on women in the law and in 1970, co-founded the Women's Rights Law Reporter, the first law journal in the U.S. to focus exclusively on women's rights. She later co-founded the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU, and as its chief litigator, briefed and argued several landmark cases in front of the Supreme Court. Her victories in those cases directly led to the end of gender discrimination in many areas of the law.
In 1980, President Carter appointed Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. She served there until she was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993 by President Clinton. On the court, she has remained a strong voice in favor of gender equality and civil liberties, as well as the rights of workers, and the separation of church and state. In 1996, she wrote the court's landmark decision in United States v. Virginia, which held that the state-supported Virginia Military Institute could not refuse to admit women. In 1999, she won the American Bar Association's Thurgood Marshall Award for her contributions to gender equality and civil rights.

When furnishing a room, we tend to focus on the weighty pieces. But a floor lamp can be just as instrumental in creating an inviting space. Tall and narrow, it's ideal for slipping into an awkward corner, shining upon a sofa in a living room or library, or brightening an entrance hall. And its design, whether spare and simple or exuberant, can serve as visual punctuation in any number of settings.
Decorator Miles Redd often uses a lamp with modern lines to shake up a traditional interior. Introducing light sources at various heights—including eye level—is key, he says: "An array of different lights gives evenness and warmth. Too much overhead lighting takes away the romance."
For designer Celerie Kemble, a floor lamp is a crucial decorating tool. "In a room full of pairs, it adds a welcome element of asymmetry," she says. And a standing lamp offers flexibility. "When you rearrange the furniture," she explains, "you can easily rearrange your lighting as well."

In Rhode Island and across the US, economic troubles seem to be getting worse by the day. But there is at least one sector that sees hope on the horizon, especially in the $787-billion stimulus package recently approved by Congress.
Green energy and conservation, several local advocates and entrepreneurs say, has a chance to flourish in the coming years — even in the Ocean State, where it's barely made a dent so far, even as wind and especially solar power took hold in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
It's a perfect alignment, they say: everyone focused on cost-cutting, improved tax incentives, prices dropping fast for photovoltaics and other green technologies, and oil prices likely to rise again, if not immediately, within the next couple of years.
"Although change is really hard, the only time we will change is at times like this," says John Jacobson, president of JTJ Investments, a Providence development firm that recently opened the Wolcott Eco-Office in the city's Promenade district.
Not only is conservation's value clearer than ever, he says, but with big, fast-money deals evaporating, small investments with guaranteed, long-term returns — like weather-proofing or adding solar units — have gained new appeal. And "like in the Great Depression," he adds, people are coming together like you've never seen," eager to effect large-scale change.
This is where the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association comes in. The group is hoping to seize the momentum from the stimulus bill to do for green energy what the Providence Geeks did for IT: connect people, promote entrepreneurship, and raise the sector's profile in the state.
Next Wednesday, March 4 at 6 pm in the Wolcott Eco-Office, the group will host "The State of the Green Economy in Rhode Island," a discussion of the stimulus, related state policies and trends, and how it could all affect Rhode Island businesses and communities.
"There's a lot of interest in this area," says Jo Lee, a partner at Green Machine PR in Providence who is organizing the event. "There's a lot of interest in the stimulus package, and there's a lot of questions of, 'Where does the rubber hit the road with this? What is it really going to look like? What is it going to do for small businesses in Rhode Island?' "
For example, Fred Unger, president of Heartwood Group Inc. in Woonsocket, an energy project developer and consultant and longtime NESEA member, says the stimulus package has "incredibly streamlined" the financing mechanisms for green projects.
And locally, Unger notes, the state has recently moved its Renewable Energy Fund to the Economic Development Corporation and refocused it on small businesses and job growth.
Next week's panel will include Unger, Alteris president Robert Chew, Renewable Energy Fund director Julian Dash, and Karina Lutz, director of development and advocacy at People's Power & Light and the Massachusetts Energy Consumers Alliance.
But that discussion is just the beginning, Lee, Unger, and the others say: They're hoping to start a vibrant network of green-energy business leaders and supporters in the community, as open as the Geeks — who welcome everyone to their monthly dinners at AS220 — but with the resources that come from being part of an established green-energy organization.
"We're looking a lot longer-term than this short-term stimulus package," says Unger. "What NESEA is, and what it's done amazingly well for 30 years, is to promote the collaboration of professionals across disciplines to help create a sustainable future."
For more information about Wednesday's panel, contact Jo Lee firstname.lastname@example.com.

I love them both, but when my daughter was little, she was horrified when I served savoury pancakes.
I am chuckling just thinking of the look on her face when I said we were having pancakes for dinner and brought them out rolled up with a savoury sauce and melted cheese on top!
So our tradition was sweet with maple syrup on them! Yum.
But I am back to savoury now! Mmm in fact I am quite hungry for some!
There's a convoluted answer!
couscous or rice?

Re: This or That
Rice!!! ...yum yum, going to make a stir-fry this week w/ rice, too, Joy!!
tamarillos/tree tomatoes OR traditional red/yellow vine tomatoes?
(I bought our first 4 yes only 4 plumpish/large tamarillos for nearly $2NZ each the other day - they were $12.99 a kilo ...but, my hubby & I enjoyed every last mouth-ful!!! And, we think we might buy our own tree after that price! lol! )

Confirmation arrived at Roland Garros that Andy Murray does not yet belong in the same grand slam company as the world's top three tennis players.
Murray will have a chance to atone on his preferred grass courts of Wimbledon later this month, but his 6-4 6-7 (3-7) 6-3 6-2 French Open quarter-final loss to sixth seed David Ferrer today surely must have removed the Scot from a so-called Big Four of men's tennis.
Boasting 31 grand slam titles between them - to Murray's none - Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are undoubtedly the Big Three, in a league of their own.
Instead of facing Murray in Friday's semi-finals in Paris, Nadal will meet countryman Ferrer, while Djokovic will square off with Federer in a rematch of last year's semis, as the Serb tries to complete the first non-calendar-year grand slam in 45 years of professional tennis.
For Murray, a three-times grand slam runner-up, it's back to square one as he looks to Wimbledon to finally break Britain's 76-year drought in men's majors.
"I'll need to put some good work in before Wimbledon, that's for sure," the Scot said.
"I was sort of getting a little bit out of breath after some of the longer rallies.
"I need to make sure I get a solid base in before Wimbledon."
At least he manfully accepted his place in the pecking order, on the slow surface anyway.
"I think the four best claycourt players in the world are left in and whoever plays best will win," Murray said.
"Probably have to favour Rafa slightly, but everyone is playing very, very well."
In truth, Nadal is an overwhelming favourite to stop Ferrer for the 16th time in 20 meetings with his Davis Cup teammate.
The six-time champion's 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 6-3 quarter-final win over over Nicolas Almagro was his 50th at the spiritual home of claycourt tennis since first competing in Paris as an 18-year-old in 2005.
Nadal's only defeat came in the fourth round in 2009 when his knees failed him against Swede Robin Soderling.
The claycourt king has lost just 30 games in five matches - and no sets - this campaign.
"It will be a tough match against Rafa. He's the best in history on this surface, but I hope to have a good match," Ferrer said.
Ever respectful, Nadal is expecting "nothing new" from his long-time friend and rival.
"We played each other a lot of times," he said.
"His game bothers everybody because he's one of the best players in the world in every surface, in clay especially.
"Everything, he's a complete player. It's very difficult to play against him because his movements are probably the best of the world and he's able to hit the ball very early a lot of the times.
"It will be a very tough match."

Seagate: Street Cheers Share Purchase from Samsung, Ponders Buyback Potential
Shares of Seagate Technology (STX) are down 21 cents, or half a percent, at $44.95, referring earlier gains, after the company this morning said it bought back 9% of its stock, 32.7 million shares, in a private transaction with Samsung Electronics (005930KS), for $46.03 per share, or $1.51 billion, leaving Samsung with 12.5 million shares of Seagate stock.
Despite the slip in the stock, the response has been positive from both bull and bear, some of whom see greater potential for repurchases in quarters to come.
Needham & Co.'s Richard Kugele reiterates a Buy rating on Seagate shares and a $51 price target, writing that the announcement is "a huge positive surprise for the stock":
Previously, Samsung seemed intent on maintaining the stake as part of the deep collaborative relationship between the two companies. This deal then serves to significantly reduce overall share count faster than the buyback could have, while still retaining the up to 30 million share repurchase option and the collaborative development relationship. We now assume that Seagate will have greater flexibility with that share buyback, and that its execution will be governed by cash flow. We reiterate our Buy rating and $51 target as the company's stable fundamentals are augmented by the shareholder-friendly buybacks/dividends.
FBN Securities's Shebly Seyrafi, reiterating a Sector Perform target, raises his price target to $50 from $45, writing that the purchase is incremental to the formal buybacks Seagate will do the rest of this year:
The large (32.7M) share purchase in FQ4 cause us to now believe that STX will likely not repurchase more shares this quarter (FQ2) […] This leaves about 30M shares that it could buy in FQ3 and FQ4 not driven by the "382", so we are now increasing our share reduction estimate for FQ3 and FQ4 to 15M/Q from ~5M/Q before.
The rule referred to by Seyrafi is one that would cause the company to lose its net operating loss carry-forwards were it to have share repurchases above a certain threshold.
RBC Capital's Amit Daryanani, who has a Sector Perform rating on the shares, and a $48 price target, explains that the purchase allows Seagate more runway to do buybacks:
Importantly, this transaction going forward eases up the Sec 382 driven buyback restrictions on STX and should enable STX to sustain its long-term commitment to returning 70% of cash flow to shareholders. This buyback is 8.7M shares higher than our previous expectations outlined in our September quarter preview. Given the size of the transaction we are lowering our share count expectations which should add 5c to FY14E EPS. Future Buyback Plans: Due to Sec 382 limitations, STX can buyback ~25M shares in Dec-qtr, 5-10M shares in March, 5-10M shares in June and 35M + shares in Sept and Dec-qtrs of 2014. Our understanding is the Samsung buyback has no implications to forward buybacks, i.e., STX can (but is unlikely to) buyback 24M shares in Dec-qtr. More importantly, the buyback authorization can roll forward, i.e., if STX doesn't buyback 24M shares in Dec-qtr, the buyback authorization in March could increase to 30-35M shares.
On the other hand, Citigroup's Joe Yoo, who has a Neutral rating on the shares, and a $47 price target, views the buybacks as largely replacing other planned share repurchases:
During the recent investor day, Seagate suggested that they plan to repurchase about 30-35M shares by end of 2CQ14 (20-25M in 4CQ13, followed by 5M shares/quarter during 1H14). We believe today's share redemption is not incremental to the above-mentioned plan, but more of a replacement. To put it another way, the company's guidance is to return ~50% of operating cash flow (OCF) in the form of share repo. The $1.51B spent today would put share repo slightly above 50% of the $2.8B OCF we are modeling for FY14. No Material Share Repo Expected Until FY15 – While the company could carry out some modest share repo ($50-100M/quarter) during the remainder of FY14, we do not expect any significant share repurchase until FY15 (beginning in July 2014). The exception is, if the shares pull back meaningfully (say 20-25% below current levels), we would not be surprised if the company is back in the market, even if they need to lever up to do so.

The Ukiah City Council tonight will consider supporting a state Assembly Bill that might allow the city to use the proceeds from bonds its former redevelopment agency sold in 2011.
So far, the state Department of Finance has rejected $6.2 million worth of contracts of the former Ukiah Redevelopment Agency as not "enforceable obligations," which means the city cannot use part of that money for traffic mitigations requested by Costco for its planned store on Airport Park Boulevard.
The URA sold the bonds in March of 2011, but the current legislation states that the bonds must have been issued prior to Jan. 1, 2011.
According to the staff report prepared for tonight's meeting, AB 981 "would extend the deadline for the use of the proceeds to include bonds issued prior to June 28, 2011."
The council meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at 300 Seminary Ave., though this item will be taken as part of the Successor Agency to the Ukiah Redevelopment Agency's agenda, which is addressed after the council's agenda.

A fantastic array of quilt tops! Kudos to you for wanting to preserve them and not "get rid of them". Best of luck in your progress.
Don't worry spider.
I keep house
I donate quilts to the AAQI.
WoW I love those..I am sooooo jealous.
I think they went to you because someone knew you'd love them. It's always wonderful when the giver thinks about what the recipient would want. So now you have a treasure.
Wow you sure did get a lot. I am sure she is looking down on you (hopefully) and thrilled that you are getting them out in the open and hopefully on their way to being completed quilts.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
These are awesome. It looks like that fabulous umbrella quilt was made using some of those iron on transfers. Love it.
The 2nd to last one, blue split star is fabulous and the lovely ladies, wow!
You are now the caretaker of some wonderful pieces of history.
Are you going to quilt them, display them. What are your plans for them?
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
Can you see me turning green with envy from there? These are wonderful treasures. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the pics of your wonderful inheritance. Lucky you.
What a treasure. So glad to see someone share a loved collection. I was indeed lucky enough to inherited my much loved Aunts quilting collection and it often brings me happy tears. I use her fabrics for donation quilts which seems right that others share the warmth. Enjoy.
WOW - love the quilts.............. you are so lucky to have such treasures..... She was a true quilter having one then one project going at a time. Right now I have at least four scrap quilts going....... go from one to the other - that way I can use all the dif size scraps.

The owl is now back in its nest at Pullman's Lincoln Middle School. The chick, which was too young to fly, was found a week ago at the foot of the nest tree on the school grounds. Employees from Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine took the bird back to WSU, for an examination and feeding while plans were made to replace it in its nest.
After waiting for winds to die down, Avista donated a large bucket truck, along with serviceman Tom Haeder, to reach the nest, about 40 feet off the ground. The mother owl flew off when Avista arrived, but was seen circling nearby before returning to the nest.
We're glad we could be there to help out.

Jackett wary of losing players late
Kenny Jackett says Wolves will aim to avoid the situation of potentially losing players towards the end of the transfer window if they are unable to be replaced.
Although the Head Coach has reported nothing imminent with the likes of Bakary Sako and Kevin Doyle – both of whom have been linked with interest from elsewhere – he is aware that circumstances can change, particularly once the August 31 deadline starts looming into view.
And so he will be keeping a keen eye on the overall picture of the squad ahead of that deadline, which comes a month into the new Sky Bet League One season.
He said: "As you go on in the transfer window the situations do changes and prices do change.
"Can you replace and do you need to? Those are considerations definitely as you get close.
"We want a squad that's capable of doing well in this league.
"We're a big club and it's going to be a big challenge for us to continue to make sure we win against sides that are highly motivated.
"And having the players in the forward positions that can create and score the goals is a key one.
"There has been no contact on Sako and it's not something that is imminent.
"There has been much speculation on his future right the way through the summer but there are no ongoing talks or any situation close where he is about to leave.
"He is being paid by Wolves and he's a Wolves player.
"But should a deal come along that's attractive to the club then yes, it will be considered.
"Manchester United sold Ronaldo in the end so a deal can be forged I suppose for almost any player.
"Sako is a Wolves player and there is nothing imminent or talks ongoing so I'm expecting him to do exactly what he is, which is be 100 per cent committed to the club in training and to his team-mates and that's been the case."
One player who has departed is former skipper Karl Henry, with Jackett already wishing him well following his move to Queens Park Rangers.
But the Head Coach is confident he has a good array of selection options to replace Henry in the engine room this season.
"We have some young players admittedly in David Davis, Lee Evans and Jack Price, the experience of Kevin Foley, who has been somewhat of a utility player for Wolves but still looked a capable player when he came on for the last half an hour last night," said Jackett.
"He's coming in off the back of an ankle injury but he put in an impressive cameo performance in the second half which shows me he can play a number of positions and be an asset for us.
"They're the people who are currently competing for the midfield area as well as Dave Edwards, who admittedly played a slightly more attacking midfield role which he's filled well so far in pre-season.
"Lee Evans signed in the January transfer window from Newport and I think that was quite an astute signing.
"He didn't get an opportunity last season but he's 19 this month and he's a promising young player.
"He has a good physique, can impose his stamp on a game and a good range of passing, and, above anything, he has an enthusiasm to play for the club.
"Elsewhere the likes of Cassidy, Griffiths and McAlinden haven't had much time on the pitch at Wolves and they were overlooked, but they won't be overlooked this year.
"They have started very well."

Last night L1D1 26
Well, sort of.
I missed Sun, so I was determined to exercise Mon. After 5 minutes, my son, who had a croup cough, needed help. By the time I returned it was after 11pm, so I just continued with another 15 minutes.
I had a mix of pull ups with 3 chin ups (1-1), 19 Body Rows (3-1), and 4 negative pull ups with palms out (3-1), though not in that order.
Push ups and squats were fine.
I had an strange experience last night too. After the above I stretched for at least 10 minutes. I was tired, it was close to midnight, but felt good. As I was walking to put things away and clean up, I was suddenly stopped short with a loud sound and everything blacked out. I think I saw stars too, and couldn't move for a couple seconds.
Guess what happened...
I walked into the removable pull up bar that I didn't remove yet. I posted before that the bar was shoulder height. I was wrong, it is head height. Luckily I was facing down at that moment, so I hit the top of my head and not my forehead. I spent the next 15 minutes or so with an ice pack, and went to sleep with a slight headache. Today I feel fine. Stop laughing.


text: My second Silverado. First one was a 97, X-cab, Z-71,5.7, 6.5 box, 222k on the odo. It was a very good truck. The second was an '06, same specs, except for the motor. The new one has a 5.3, and 60k on it. Both trucks had the 341;1 axles in them. My last truck got 15 city and 21 hi-way. This new one is worse in millage. 13 city and 19 hi-way. The last truck had an Accelerator performance dual exhaust. I just put on a Magnaflow dual exhaust on the new truck. On the Accelerator, I lost my spare and it was not stainless, but it sounded better, no drone going down the hi-way. The new Magnaflow sounds OK, looks nicer, it's stainless, and I kept my spare in tact. I work in maintenance for a big company. Travel out west. Hunt and fish. Into motorcycles. Have three grown children, and two cute grand daughters. Cheers TT

I soon became overheated again, so I paced myself to conserve energy. As we went from scenery spot to scenery spot it did not take before we started our decent to Johanna beach.
My feet had many hot spots (blisters in waiting). It was great to get the boots off and let the feet cool off in the water. I thought I heard a hissing sound as I placed my feet in the water. A number of the girls went in deeper and got a cool down with the breaking waves.
Walking Johanna beach was again tiring as one sunk in with each step. An incoming tide washed away footprints so it was harder to follow existing footprints. This aside it was nice walking along such a nice beach, but by the end my energy levels were spent. Kindly, Analee came back to take my day pack for me.
Jan having sat out this leg had organised a surprise Ice-cream and beer/bubble for the fellow walkers. The ice-cream when down nicely.

Demi Dishes On New Music And The X-Factor
It's hard to believe that three years ago Avicii was just a guy living in Sweden mixing tracks in his bedroom. Today, he's one of the most popular DJs in the world!

Hi guys,
I'm interested lately in doing a few custom 1/6 scale figures.
I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a place to buy parts?? Such as helmets, armor or soft parts for them?? Or do people make their own? I'm looking to do Star Wars characters from SW. Ideally some RCs and custom Mandos.
I bought a 1/6 scale Corusant Guard helmet off Ebay a while back but have had no luck since.
I know there are members here who customise figures so I'm hopeful for assistance. Even if no-one knows where to buy these things, maybe help in making my own??

Recently my son Michael had to write a high school essay, choosing from a list of subjects considered to be the most influential Americans. Surprisingly, or not, Stan Lee was on the list for his significant role in the cultural impact that Marvel Comics has had on our society.
Mike's decision to pick Lee as his essay subject was a simple one, knowing that he would have access to plenty of reference material in my personal library including Stan Lee's interviews in David Anthony Kraft's COMICS INTERVIEW the Complete Collection Volume One published right here at CO2 Comics.
My son's approach to his essay was standard fare, family bio, life experiences, significant achievements, and cultural impact all of which focused, of course, on Stan Lee's involvement in the creation of the iconic characters at the center of the Marvel Universe. His twist was to point out that, though Lee's creations do have a significantly positive cultural influence, these characters and Marvel have so heavily dominated the comic book market for so long that they have oppressed the creative growth of of the comics industry for decades. What a kid!
No sooner did Mike hand in his paper, I found myself being directed by The Comics Beat to the infamous 1990 Gary Groth interview with Jack Kirby that is now posted in its entirety in the archives of The Comics Journal website. Kirby boldly takes credit for having created all of the major Marvel characters single-handedly and accuses Lee of having only ever written the single word "Excelsior!" This interview is a truly mind-blowing read that flies in the face of the history that Stan Lee has recounted repeatedly over the years. If you have not read it, make sure you do!
What a different paper my son would have written!
Of course there are two sides to every story, and my experience in this field of comics has taught me that the creative ego can absolutely convolute one's memory, especially when it comes to ownership of an idea or a concept. Haggling over the notion of Lee and Kirby's roles in the creation and success of Marvel and its characters may go on forever just for this reason.
Demonstrating this point are two contradicting excerpts, one from each of their individual interviews, that focus on the conception of the FANTASTIC FOUR.
Jack Kirby from the 1990 The Comics Journal #134 interview with Gary Groth:
"I came in [to the Marvel offices] and they were moving out the furniture, they were taking desks out — and I needed the work! I had a family and a house and all of a sudden Marvel is coming apart. Stan Lee is sitting on a chair crying. He didn't know what to do, he's sitting in a chair crying —he was just still out of his adolescence. I told him to stop crying. I says. "Go into Martin and tell him to stop moving the furniture out, and I'll see that the books make money." And I came up with a raft of new books and all these books began to make money. Somehow they had faith in me. I knew I could do it, but I had to come up with fresh characters that nobody had seen before. I came up with The Fantastic Four. I came up with Thor. Whatever it took to sell a book I came up with. Stan Lee has never been editorial minded. It wasn't possible for a man like Stan Lee to come up with new things — or old things for that matter. Stan Lee wasn't a guy that read or that told stories. Stan Lee was a guy that knew where the papers were or who was coming to visit that day. Stan Lee is essentially an office worker, OK? I'm essentially something else: I'm a storyteller. My job is to sell my stories. When I saw this happening at Marvel I stopped the whole damned bunch. I stopped them from moving the furniture! Stan Lee was sitting on some kind of a stool, and he was crying."
Stan Lee's version from his 1983 interview in Comics Interview #5 conducted by David Anthony Kraft and Jim Salicrup:
"Jack never pushed me to do superheroes. What happened was, one day, Martin Goodman called me into the office –– this is when Jack and I were doing all of those monster stories –– and Martin, who was the publisher at the time, said: "You know, Stan, I've just seen some sales figures for this DC magazine" –– it may have been JUSTICE LEAGUE, but I no longer remember -– "it is doing pretty well. Maybe we ought to do some superheroes." And I said, "Fine." And he said, "Let's do a team like the JUSTICE LEAGUE." And I said, "Fine." I went home and wrote an outline, a synopsis for the FANTASTIC FOUR. And I called Jack, handed him the outline, and said: "Read this. This is something I want to do. And you should draw a team." Jack , of course contributed many, many ideas to it. And I would venture to say that Jack and I co-created THE FANTASTIC FOUR, in a way –– although the name was mine, the characters were mine, the concept was mine, originally. But he never pushed me to do superheroes. Jack was at home drawing those monster stories, until the day I called him and said: "Let's do the FANTASTIC FOUR." I think Jack is really –– I don't know what to say, I don't want to say anything against him. I think he is beginning to imagine things."
Stan Lee's interview happened about seven years prior to the Jack Kirby interview but it was obvious that Lee was responding to the same allegations which Kirby continually made and stood by until his death in 1994.
Regardless of who you believe or which side you defend, when it comes to cultural impact, it is impossible to imagine Marvel Comics or their characters without the influence of either Jack Kirby or Stan Lee. Kirby's dynamic images and visual storytelling not only established the standard idioms of the comics medium and superhero genre, they defined the graphic footprint that became Marvel's trademark. Stan Lee brought an infectious enthusiasm to Marvel that was difficult to ignore. Stan Lee's Soap Box bristled with the same hip banter that was present in the dialog espoused by the characters he is credited with scripting. He built a relationship that brought together the readers, the characters and the Bullpen that formed bonds with fandom that were much deeper than ink on paper.
Listen to this audio file of a recording called "The Voices of Marvel" made available through the fan club Merry Marvel Marching Society and you will understand why Stan Lee's influence goes beyond what he may or may not have created or scripted. He was the cheerleader.
The reality is that Jack Kirby and Stan Lee simply represent two different types of men. Jack Kirby was an amiable, creative genius who's imagination knew no boundaries. He created for two primary reasons, to comfortably support his family and to express his ideas. Any reward beyond that was secondary to his nature, by the time he realized his loss it was too late.
Stan Lee had his eye on the prize his whole career. He continues to live for the fame and the fortune. He believed in the Marvel product and aggressively sold it with a huckster's gleam in his eye that exists to this very day.
The irony is that Stan Lee himself clearly defined their roles with flashy nicknames, Jack "King" Kirby and Stan "The Man" Lee.
There was a chemistry that brought these two, very different, gentlemen together at the perfect time in history to create a magic that ushered in Marvel and the Silver Age of comics. Had they not united, what would have become of either man? What would have become of the comics industry?
All differences and injustices aside, the important thing is that both of these men need to be remembered for the joy and energy that they brought to comics, our culture and each and every one of us that were inspired by their careers. Generations from now, they will both continue to be revered for their creative contributions to comics, a medium which is just beginning to realize its potential. I think both men would be satisfied with that reward of creative immortality.

Hello HowardHebington - welcome to the forum.
However - I would point out that the video you point to on Youtube is just an advert for expensive, and unnecessary dietary supplements which make vast (and unproven) claims.
If I were you, I would remove the reference - it makes your first post look like Spam.

Re: Jamie's Fowl Dinners
Well done Jamie.
I'm living in Canada and can't stress enough to people here that they should be educated consumers. If you know where your food comes from and how it got onto your plate and if you're happy with all of it, then you can congratulate yourself and enjoy your food that much more. If you choose to go the way of the battery hen, you know all about it's life, if you can call it that, and you're still ok with it then that's your choice. You will pay for it one way or another, and not necessarily with your wallet. That goes for all meat, fish and veggies.
When we buy our eggs we go right to the farm and they are $1, 50p, less per dozen than at the supermarket. Probably a lot cheaper that battery eggs but really, I don't even consider them any more. When we buy our chickens we have a butcher who has free range, organic, none medicated birds. You can eat all the meat and with the carcass we make brown chicken stock, great for soups, the point is, have respect for yourself by having respect for your food. Nothing needs to be wasted, and we both have full time jobs and work 100 hours plus, per week, between us. So that's no excuse. It really isn't a lot of trouble.
I hope Jamie moves onto all meats and show people how different all foods taste when they're treated the way it should be.
We are all designed to eat meat. If some of us choose not to, well, they are free to choose this, I would never tell them that it's wrong. Life is all about choices. Just understand the consequences of what we choose in every part of our lives. It's important.

NFLX Surges 25%: Bulls Cheer Original Programming, Price Targets Zoom
Shares of Netflix (NFLX) are up $43.84, or almost 25%, at $218.21, continuing to add to gains since last night's rally following a report of better-than-expected Q1 results and a better-than-expected Q2 outlook.
My colleague Brendan Conway chimes in this morning with the interesting observation that the removal of Netflix shares from the Nasdaq 100 several weeks ago turns out to have been an excellent buying opportunity given the surge in the shares since then. Netflix stock is up 115% in the last 12 months and 136% this year to date.
The bulls today are especially enthusiastic about what they deem as the success in the quarter of the company's original programming, such as "House of Cards," given the better-than-expected 2 million subscribers added in the domestic streaming video business.
There are no out-right ratings changes this morning, that I can see, but price targets are zooming upward all around. Revenue numbers are generally going higher for this year and next, both among bulls and among bears, as is Ebitda, in most cases, but profit per share is going lower, reflecting higher content costs, and you'll notice there's a fairly wide disparity in EPS estimates:
Doug Anmuth, J.P. Morgan: Reiterates an Overweight rating and raises his price target to $254 from $205. Anmuth raised this year's outlook to $4.35 billion in revenue from a prior $4.33 billion, but cut his ESP estimate to $1.29 per share form $1.58, while trimming his operating income margin to 3.9% from 4%, and trimming his Ebitda estimate to $286 million from $293 million. "We believe Netflix has increasing leverage with content providers and original content is off to a strong start, with House of Cards driving high engagement and likely improving retention, Hemlock Grove seeing strong viewing in its first weekend, and Arrested Development coming in late May. We believe the virtuous cycle of more subscribers and better content is once again in effect for Netflix."
Scott Devitt, Morgan Stanley: Reiterates an Overweight rating and raises his price target to $235 from $200, while raising his "We believe continued tablet penetration and House of Cards were both tailwinds […] Netflix added (vs. the market's view of renting) 2MM subs. In our view, this proves that original content is accretive, and we expect that as Netflix introduces new series that they will yield strong incremental sub growth / lowered churn. We are modeling CQ2:13 subs at 29.7MM."
Andy Hargreaves, Pacific Crest: Reiterates an Outperform rating and raises his price target to $230 from $225. Hargreaves raises this year's estimates to $4.35 billion in revenue from $4.28 billion, while cutting his EPS estimate to $1.72 from $2. "Netflix is the clear and dominant leader in global online subscription video. We continue to believe growing broadband penetration, growing connected device penetration and an increasing preference for on-demand content provide material secular tailwinds to Netflix's growth […] Higher domestic subscriber estimates drive our 2013 revenue estimate to $4.35 billion from $4.28 billion and our 2014 revenue estimate to $4.98 billion from $4.87 billion. However, we are increasing the percentage of incremental revenue that we apply to content purchases. This drives our 2013 and 2014 streaming content acquisition expense estimates to $2.35 billion and $2.68 billion from $2.28 billion and $2.56 billion, respectively."
Heath Terry, Goldman Sachs: Reiterates a Neutral rating, and raises his price target to $210 from $184. Terry raised his 2013 estimate to $4.43 billion in revenue, $305 million in Ebitda, $1.54 in GAAP EPS, and $2.45 per share in adjusted EPS from a prior $4.35 billion, $276 million, $1.12 per share, and $2.06 per share. "etflix commented on the early strength of its new original content, its declining willingness to make bulk, non-original content deals, and its intent to begin offering a four-stream plan for $11.99 for multi-user subscribers. As the company's subscriber base scales against content costs (particularly from investment in unique original content), international losses moderate, and ARPU grows, we see margin expansion and earnings growth likely exceeding management's guidance. That said, with the stock already trading at a significant premium to the sector, with relatively similar growth and a higher risk profile, we remain at Neutral."
Anthony DiClemente, Barclays: Reiterates an Equal Weight rating on the stock, and raises his price target to $220 from $190. DiClemente raised his 2013 revenue estimate to $4.28 billion from $4.22 billion, and cut his EPS estimate to 89 cents per share from $1.09 per share, and raised his Ebitda estimate to $194 million from $164 million. "We think the premieres of Hemlock Grove on 4/19 and Arrested Development on 5/26 could help 2Q and possibly 3Q subscribers much in the same way that House of Cards helped 1Q subscribers. Incremental revenue is helping to drive margin upside, and Netflix remains committed to improving its domestic streaming contribution margin by 100bps every quarter. We have increased our 2013 domestic streaming estimates due to higher subs and contribution margin. Internationally however, we have increased marketing expenses as Netflix indicated it plans to launch in an additional European market during 2H13."
Steven Frankel, Dougherty & Co.: Reiterates a Neutral rating, and raises his 2013 view to $4.38 billion in revenue and $1.81 per share in profit from a prior $4.29 billion and $1.07 per share, or $2.62 excluding stock-based compensation. He raised his 2014 estimates as well. "The company certainly has momentum, but with margins remaining under pressure due to international expansion, we can't make the valuation case to chase the stock here. Netflix remains the 800-pound gorilla in streaming video but the business still faces cost pressures and competitive threats so despite the Q1 progress we are remaining on the sidelines until the path to double digit operating margins becomes clearer."

Would like to add about 20 more to the orchard which has cherries, apples,pears and chinese dates, then hold at that level for the time being. I have been observing here for a few days and am impressed by the courtesy afforded everyone as well as the amount of wisdom shared. Glad to be here!

Looking forward to it, Jenni. I haven't been able to sew for a while, but hope to begin again soon. I finished my first QAYG using your method and it worked out great. I have another one ready to assemble...looking forward to your new method, also. Thank you for doing this for us.
your DWR would be done in blocks so rows would work. You will just have to be careful to pin to make sure it stays straight and your rings match.
I believe Jenniky taught a technique in our last session with this method.
Life's More Fun with a Doxie !!
Have a Great Day !
Vicki G
Thanks! I am still wading through all the information on this thread...and exploring other options too! I will let you guys know what I figure out!
Jen, so glad that you are going to do another one. I have one that I will be starting on and want to do the QAYG method, because it's going to be bigger than I usually do.
Have a great day!!!
It's not the years in your life that count. It's the LIFE, in your years. (Abe Lincoln)
"The Best" The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. (Helen Keller)
I'm frantically working on my GS graduation quilt (queen size T-shirt using the BQ pattern--so can't do the QAYG as in the first tutorial we did, but figured I'd do it in thirds QAYG)....need to have it done by the end of April or sooner. So, I will watch this for that part...hopefully it will come along in time. Otherwise, I think I learned enough on that first one to do it in thirds.
As I was reading new items on the board I came across this QAYG method in the Tutorial section. QAYG Flip N Sew With Pictures
Thought I would post it over here if anyone is interested and had not come across it. Im still working on piecing the top I will be sharing with the next method of quilting large quilts on a standard machine. Have a great day everyone.
Have an awesome day!

Kermit the frog and Miss Piggy bashed the Fox News Channel Tuesday in an interview with Leicester Square TV, in response to accusations of 'brainwashing kids with
an anti-corporate message" in their latest movie.
On Fox's "Follow the Money," Bolling claims the new Disney installment of the "The Muppets" franchise movie is an attack on the oil industry, capitalism and is evidence of a liberal Hollywood conspiracy to brainwash children.
The film
features an evil oil baron named Tex Richman who wants to raze
the Muppets' old theater to drill for the black gold. The gang reunites to host
a major fundraiser to win their theater back.
Bolling invited Dan Gainor of Bolling invited Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center to weigh in. Gainor claimed that the Muppets' efforts to save their theater was a puppet version of the Occupy movement.
"All it needs is a pepper-spraying cop," said Gainor.
Hollywood attacks the oil industry instead of reminding them what oil means for most people, Gainor continued, "which is fuel to light a hospital or heat
your home, or maybe fuel an ambulance to go to the hospital if you need that,
and they don't want to tell that story."
Kermit sarcastically disputed the allegations saying, "If we had a problem with
oil companies, why would we have spent the entire film driving around in a
gas-guzzling Rolls-Royce?"
"It's almost as laughable as accusing Fox
News as, you know, being news," said Miss Piggy as the audience laughed and applauded.
"Boy, that's going to be all
over the Internet, yup!" replied Kermit.

Well only a Dumb Azz like Chris Brown would not pick up on this blatant in your face hint that the girl was obviously missing Chris Brown. Yet once again, the idiot failed to pick up signs that this girl Rihanna still loves him and failed to do something with the opportunity when it presented itself. How can someone who is such a musical genius be Dumb and so much lacking in common sense!

Other Name: Norpramin
Detailed Description:
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by a combination of symptoms that can interfere with a person's ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy activities that were once pleasurable. Studies have shown that as little as 50% to 60% of individuals with MDD may respond to the first antidepressant medication prescribed. Currently psychiatrists lack tools that allow them to select the treatment plan that is most likely to benefit a particular individual. Some of the chemical abnormalities in the brains of people with MDD are detectable on positron emission topography (PET) scans. There are distinct differences in the PET scans of people with MDD who respond to treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), people with MDD who do not respond to SSRI treatment, and people who do not have MDD. This study will use pretreatment PET and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans of the brain to predict which antidepressants will be most effective in people with MDD. This may help to reduce the trial and error currently associated with antidepressant treatment.
Participants in this study will undergo one PET scan and one fMRI scan. Within 3 days of the scan, all participants will begin taking escitalopram, an SSRI, at a daily dose of 10 mg, or desipramine, a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI), starting at 50mg and titrating to a therapeutic level. After 4 weeks, participants who have responded to treatment will continue for an additional 4 weeks on the current dose. Participants who are on escitalopram who do not respond to the medication at the end of 4 weeks will begin taking 20 mg of escitalopram per day. After 8 weeks on either medication, participants for whom medication does not succeed in relieving MDD symptoms will undergo a second antidepressant trial within the same class if this has not been done previously. Non-remitters to 2 within-class medication trials will be switched to the medication in the other group. Study visits will occur weekly for the first 4 weeks and then every other week for the remainder of the study. At visits, participants will meet with their psychiatrists to discuss how they have been feeling since the last visit, review medication side effects, and complete depression rating questionnaires. Outpatient participants will receive a total of 5 months of treatment for depression.

instead of resigning TT to even a 1 yr contract why not look elsewhere.
i would like us to sign BCarr from KCT. someone is a quality player (though not a star) and doesn;t have an injury history.
a secondary of webster-carr-phillips- rolle w/ prince would be nice.
i would draft someone in the 4th (Hayward) or 5th round such as Asa Jackson, a kid with blazing speed and can double as a good punt returner.

Yes, I'm pregnant. And it's been that way for approximately the last 34 weeks. If you're following me on Twitter, you're probably as sick as I am of my pregnancy-related tweets, marvels upon the process, and general observations about how damned freaky this all is and how is it that I don't remember all this pain and suffering from the first time!?
Ahem. But in my defense, being pregnant messes with your head in a big way, and even though you desperately want to start thinking about other things, it's immensely difficult. I mean, we're just wired that way. It's science. No, really.
Since it's not every day that a GeekDad couple is expecting, I thought I'd share five tips (mostly inspired by my very awesome husband, Michael Harrison) that might help other geeky couples through the tough times. Because it's not just about the baby and what comes afterward. Leading up to it is a whole, crazy journey that you might never forget, but she certainly will.
Above all else: be patient. Love her. Listen to her (even if you've heard the same lecture about cloth diapers or heirloom tomatoes for the third time in the same day). That's the best place to start.
1) Hook your lady up with some science. If she's like me, she'll be obsessing over the changes in her body (and of the fetus) every week and be sorely disappointed by the vapid, badly written crap out there on the internet. Really, it's written for the least common denominator and seems to spend more time comparing the fetus to the size of various fruits and vegetables rather than explaining the actual science behind one of the most amazing things in the world. Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies by Jena Pincott is a great place to start. Granted, it's on the pop science side, but it's chock full of stuff most blogs and books don't touch. It also helps to actually explain the astonishing and sometimes freaky goings on during pregnancy. Don't believe me? Check out Jena Pincott's recent BoingBoing post (where I found out about this book in the first place) about how DNA from our kids sticks around our bodies forever.
+10: Read the book with her. Or at least ask her about it! Pregnancy can feel really lonely, and you're the closet one to the situation. Reading this was a whole new experience for me — as a second time mom, I didn't think there was much left to learn. Turns out I was way off. Which is not to mention how much you might learn, too.

From Blue Crayon Scribbles To Published Graphic Novel

I had spent a whole afternoon scribbling on the entry hall wall, up the staircase wall and onto the second floor sitting room wall. In those days, the discipline of choice for Chinese families was the bamboo cane feather duster. That too, I remember painfully well. So it is with much affection that I open and dedicate my graphic novel, Escape to Gold Mountain, to Granny with her words: "David! Stop drawing on the walls! When you grow up, you had better still not be drawing cartoons!"

Dos and Don'ts
Temper: Don't get openly angry or lose your cool in Singapore or anywhere in Asia for that matter. Shouting at someone in front of others is considered a "loss of face" and won't accomplish anything.
Pointing: Never make obscene gestures; pointing at someone with your index finger is considered rude.
Chopstick Etiquette: Chopstick etiquette is important. Never cross another person's chopsticks when you are reaching for something. Never rest chopsticks in a bowl or on a plate; always place chopsticks in a rest, or on a separate plate; to place the chopsticks across your bowl or plate shows that you are still hungry.
Burping: A gentle burp shows appreciation of good food. Don't be surprised if there is considerable smacking of lips during a meal and burping at the end to show the meal tasted good.
Handshakes: Malaysian men and women do not shake hands. A nod of the head and a bright smile is a polite greeting between people of the opposite sex. If between men, don't be surprised by the Malay's light touch; Muslims usually exchange light handshakes.
Phrase Book
"Singlish" is a local patois of English mixed with Chinese syntax. Words from Malay and one of the southern Chinese dialects, Hokkien being the most common, are also used just to make it confusing for foreigners. The writers of the local culture and humor website, talkingcock.com, have compiled a list of most "Singlish" words and phrases, from A to Z. Here are some of the most common terms.
Ah chek: "Uncle", a generic name used to address an older man. Pronounced ah check.
Ah mm: Generic name used to address an old woman. Pronounced ah-umm.
Boh: When placed before any word, it turns it into the negative. The Hokkien equivalent of "not" or "un."
Corright: The proper and correct Singlish pronunciation of "correct," illustrating how Singlish often combines two related words, creating a new word with improved potency. Often used as a response when the truth is glaringly obvious.
Don'ch: The correct Singlish pronunciation of "Don't."
Lah: Used as a full stop or ending. "Are you coming, lah?" Pronounced la.
Meh: A Singlish tag which accompanies questions. Adds a slight tone of incredulity. "So it's like that, meh?" Pronounced meh.
Saht: The local equivalent of "cool." Pronounced Sot.
Shiok: Denotes extreme pleasure or the highest quality. "This soup is really shiok, man!" Pronounced she-awk.
Talk cock: To speak rubbish or nonsense. Despite seemingly obscene connotations, the use of "cock" is actually fairly benign. It has become the de facto Singlish way to describe something as being nonsensical or sub-standard; the local equivalent of "rubbish" or "junk."
Wah lau: The most common polite variation of "Wah Lan," which is an expression used in much the same way as "oh my goodness" or "wow." Pronounced wah low.

History Mystery: 09-26-13 PLHS Football
A bi-district touch football conference was formed in 1937. Pequot won the 1937 championship and tied for the 1938 championship with Walker after playing to a 0-0 score. Do you recognize any of these players? Find the answer to this History Mystery question on page 15.
According to the 1939 Pequonian, the Pequot Lakes High School yearbook: "1939 - Six man football was inaugurated as a regular part of Pequot High's inter-scholastic sports program. The game, something new to this part of the country, proved to be of great interest to player and spectator alike. The squad made a very fine showing winning four out of five games."
This photo and others are among the many displays at the Pequot Lakes Area Historical Museum located in the lower level of the Cole Memorial Building in Pequot Lakes. Call Karen for an appointment at 568-4808.

We had a nice stay at the apartment. Easy access to downtown Copenhagen, calm and peaceful atmosphere and a cosy bed. Perfect!
This house/apartment was very nice and convenient to all the trains for traveling into the city of Copenhagen. A very large first floor apartment with all the things you would need to make you feel comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen with every dish and pan you would need. Very large living room and very comfortable chairs and sofa. The bedroom was very adequate with plenty of warm blankets. Just be prepared for a small bathroom but everything worked perfectly. Loved the stay and would rent again.
In Dorthe's apartment there are a big and beautiful living rom, a cozy bedroom and a well-equipped kitchen. The bathroom is a bit small but it's fine for us. The apartment is well separated with other residents in the same house. It is easy to access city center by train (3 stops from the main train station). Dorthe is friendly and easygoing. Thanks a lot for nice stay in Copenhagen.
The apartment is very nice, in a really good location near the station only one stop to Copenhagen center station.
Everything just perfect. Thanks Dorthe!
Dear Dorthe,
thank you so much for your hospitality. We had a great time in Kopenhagen - and your apartment is a wonderful place to stay and to relax. Everything is cosy and comfortable and we also enjoyed the nice garden. The ocation is very agreable to and favourable for all kind of sightseeing and excursion. And last but not least: you are a very pleasant and reliable host too! Once more: Thanks a lot and all the best for you. And perhaps we will come back one day to wonderful Kopenhaven and - to you and your house. Take care and all the best from Peter & Cornelis
We had a great weekend at Dorthes appartment. It was very clean and cosy and Dorthe was very friendly!
Our 1,5 year old son also had a great time, because Dorthe had a lot's of toys and books:)
About the shower: it works well, but it's mounted a bit unhandy above the toilet.
But nevertheless we had a great time in a very quiet neighbourhood.
Thanks Dorthe!
The location is a little suburban – one has to pick the train (two stations to the centre), but if you don't need nice cafes around the corner this is perfectly all right. For the rest Dorthe is a nice host and person, and the location is splendid – nice house, with living room, bedroom, kitchen it has everything to guarantee a pleasant stay. The only minus is that the bathroom is a bit smallish.
The room was nice.and dorthe is really friendly and she answerd very fast!
Thank You dorthe.it was a really nice Trip to copenhagen!
Friendly gettings
Dorothe was very friendly and the apartment was exactly as promised. It was very close to the Valby train station, making it convenient to get around via transit. Everything was clean and she even gave us some wonderful fresh Danish bread to munch on during our stay. Word to the wise, if you require a large bathroom due to physical size or general comfort, this may not be a place for you. However, we didn't have any issues with it personally.

University Center event showcase July 17 to highlight event resources
By Jared Jones
Assistant Director of Marketing and Communication, University Center
(July 8, 2009)--The UTSA Office of Events Management and Conference Services (EMCS) will host the UTSA Event Showcase from 2 to 4 p.m., Friday, July 17 in the UTSA Main Campus Ballroom (1.104). Free and open to the UTSA community, the event is aimed at event and meeting planners. The showcase will offer information on the food, décor and planning resources available for meetings and special events -- including weddings.
Visitors at the special event can see the new ballroom set up in various ways to highlight the many types of events that EMCS and UTSA Dining Services can provide on campus.
"Whether you are planning an end-of-year banquet, conference with break-out sessions or a simple morning meeting with snacks, you will see how it can come together from food to décor at our first event showcase," said Nikki Lee, EMCS associate director.
Since the ballroom's opening, EMCS has arranged many lighting and décor options to enhance University Center-based events. Dramatic lighted screens, columns, linens and centerpieces are available for rental and were selected to complement the ballroom's elegant and contemporary style. These items will be on display during the showcase.
"EMCS and Dining Services have the tools to make your event a successful one," said Lee. "We look forward to seeing you at the showcase and learning how we can be of assistance."
For planning purposes, RSVP by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com or calling (210) 458-4155.
