		<description><![CDATA[[reprinted from a monthly Gracenotes email] I should clarify: don&#8217;t use your cat pictures for marketing unless you can prove he/she has a direct role in your business (this does not include client leg rubs or soaking up sunshine).

This is how the Q&#38;A usually goes: Why do you call it &#8216;Grace Studio&#8217;?   A variety of reasons: my great-grandmother&#8217;s name is Grace, &#38; she [...]]]></description>
