0:00.0	We were given this chunk of time that we normally wouldn't have without
0:04.5	out. So we were able to really put our heads together and figure out a plan of
0:09.7	attack for our company. This is the flavor. Once again, I've outdone myself not
0:17.1	only by the location here at this conference center in Anaheim, but with two
