- Ben London owns and operates Fantastic Footage, a film-editing company in Los Angeles that does contract work mostly for production companies in Hollywood. Not long ago, a local landscaping business completed nearly $8,500 worth of work around London's offices. While the initial bid seemed a little high for the amount of work that was actually done, there is no question that the work completed was of high quality, and London finally feels comfortable inviting potential clients to meet him at his office to discuss possible deals.

- Brendan Quinlan and Maeve Lynch are a couple. They decided to open an Irish restaurant in Changchun, a small town in Northeast China. There were no other Irish restaurants in Changchun, and the possibility of doing something new and somewhat risky intrigued the young people. They purchased an old bistro just off Main Street for their new restaurant, which they named "The Bridge 1988". Brendan and Maeve knew in advance that at least initially they could not offer a full, varied menu of dishes. They had no idea what their local customers' tastes in Irish cuisine would be, so they decided to serve only two full-course meals each night, one with beef and the other with fish. Brendan, their chef, was confident he could make each dish so exciting and unique that two meals would be sufficient, at least until they could assess which menu items were most popular. Brendan indicated that with each meal he could experiment with different appetizers, soups, salads, vegetable dishes, and desserts…arrow_forwardBrendan Quinlan and Maeve Lynch are a couple.
