The answer to our trivia question has been posted: Liberty Ships were outfitted with two Builder's Plates: One on the front of the main house, and the other in the Engine Room. Early plates were made of brass, and were soon replaced with a black, plastic-like material called Phenolic with a white layer underneath. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenolic

Not sure what your budget is but Suit Supply (they have a store in Georgetown) does both semi custom suits (my fiancé did this option, they order the correct size jacket and pants plus alterations for I believe $650) and custom suits. Not sure what the custom ones run but I'm sure it's a bit more expensive
Rebekah A. replied:
Hey! Try https://combatgent.com You can order a custom suit from them. I personally like the suit better than a tux. It's the new thing. Much cheaper. They have several different fits too to accomodate your fiance. The quality is amazing. I've already ordered a ton of stuff for my hubby, and it's perfect. We heard about it because my brother (who walked me down the aisle) ordered his from it. Wish we'd known about it. The custom suit he paid $1000+ fell flat. Brother's suit looked awesome. I think he did additional tailoring, which is usually helpful. He's a big guy, and it looked phenomenal!

Also, I really liked "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan, "Counterfeit Gods" by Timothy Keller and "The Enemy Within" by Kris Lundgaard

Francine Rivers did the 5 ladies in the line if Christ and then she did 5 men of faith. Each book has a study guide at the end. Short, powerful books.
