Others, simply cannot be called because of the expense of long-distance phone charges; and others..when unavailable when called, are placed on our mailing "Prospect" list to receive our newsletter, "The Big Idea." -- that we may send out to our immediate friends? The best way to receive your inventors' intellectual property information is by attending the IASL's monthly meetings. You'll gain so much from them. --> -- "Licensing Executives, USA and Canada"

- Good morning my name is Lee Shawback, President and founder of C.E.O., "Creating Effective Options," located in Lake Geneva, WI.
- After 14 years in the plastic injection molding industry, I became an entrepreneur and started C.E.O.
- Prior to C.E.O., I worked at small, medium and large corporations holding the following positions: process engineer, project engineer, tooling engineer, sr. manufacturing engineer, quality manager, director of operations, technical director, director of engineering and sales and vice president of engineering and quality.
- I have been involved in the medical, automotive, electronics, banking, voting booth, construction, consumer, pharmaceutical, food service, restaurant and many more.
- C.E.O. provides resources for design, prototyping, injection molding, sourcing, project management, consultation, tooling, assembly, decoration, quality systems management and quality systems maintenance. I want to get my name out there as a potential resource for products that involve plastics. Any help or guidance in getting this done would be much appreciated. If I can be of any help to your organization or your members please pass my info along to them.
- Thanks, Lee Shawback

Your arm needs a full two-week rest."
-- The Machine is RIGHT!! -- He goes home thinking, "Hmmm, maybe the machine isn't really that great?--I'll trick it to find out! -- He fills a jar with urine from his wife, daughter, dog and for good measure masterbates and ejaculates into it. -- He takes the jar to the drugstore, pours it into the machine, puts in $10.00 and waits. -- The machine sputters with vibrant sounds and lights. Out pops a card: "Your daughter has been fooling around. Ground her. Your wife's a slut and is pregnant. The twins won't be yours. Divorce her. -- Your dog needs spaying.
