$100k lottery prize from Henrico ticket still unclaimed
Would you walk around with $100,000 in your pocket or the glove compartment of your car? Probably not. But one Virginia Lottery player may be unknowingly doing just that.
Someone bought a ticket for the March 26 Cash 5 day drawing at Happy Shopper, 1290 N. Laburnum Ave. in Henrico County. That ticket turned out to be a $100,000 winner. Whoever has that ticket has not come forward to claim the prize.
According to Virginia Lottery rules, winning tickets expire 180 days after the drawing. In this case, since the 180-day period ends on a Saturday, the winner has until close of business the next business day, which is 5 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 24.
The winning numbers were 8-19-23-28-31. The ticket matched all five numbers. The person who has that ticket should contact the Virginia Lottery immediately at 692-7000.
All Virginia Lottery unclaimed prize money goes to the state Literary Fund. The Literary Fund is used solely for educational purposes, such as school construction, renovation and teacher retirement funding. Since its inception in 1988, the Lottery has transferred more than $222 million in unclaimed prizes to Virginia's Literary Fund.

SAN ANTONIO - The aroma of Schakolad Chocolate Factory at The Vineyard in North San Antonio, hits you once you walk through the door.
A rich, sweet scent that might make you feel like you just walked into Willy Wonka's personal playground.
"The first thing they say is, 'Oh that smell, it smells delicious here,'" said Scott Smith, one of the owners.
"It just has to be chocolate and we like to do something special and little for the kids and get them special chocolates," said Carrie Kilwy.
"She keeps me in check because I'd go crazy," said her husband Jason Kilwy. "Between her and the kids I'd spend too much money."
Smith said they start preparing for Valentine's Day right after Christmas but most of what's bought for the big day gets made just a few days before.
"It's a lot of hours," said Smith. "Go home and get five or six hours of sleep then come back and start making the truffles again."
Smith said chocolate covered strawberries are always the top seller but many people are picking up edible heart-shaped boxes.
His shop will open its doors at 6 a.m. Valentine's Day, ready for last-minute shoppers.
While he argues that chocolate, especially dark chocolate has major health benefits, down the road at Stone Oak Florist, manager Jodi Fagen said flowers are a lot healthier.
"Because they're not fattening," said a laughing Fagen. "That's the best part."
She and her staff started working around 7 a.m. Monday morning and have survived on snacks strategically placed around their work tables.
Because flowers are perishable, there's little pre-planning they can do.
"The most preparation we can do is containers and getting more people in and hiring lots of extra hands," said Fagen.
Red roses dominate the shopping lists of most buyers and a extra refrigerated truck sat outside the store with 200 delivery orders, which the store had to stop taking this morning.
They still expect a very big walk-in crowd when they open their doors at 8 tomorrow morning.
"You get gradually busier and busier as the week goes on then it explodes into a crazy nut house," said Fagen.

The subject of kinetics is of great economic and technical importance. If a plant is producing a certain product by a process that involves a slow chemical reaction, the productivity will be low and the rate of return on the investment will also be low.
In fast reactions, the residence time of material in reactors will be short and the productivity increases.
It is, therefore, important to know what are the factors that govern the rates of processes, and when a process is slow, what could be done to accelerate it if at all possible.
In this course, you learn kinetics is a useful tool to study the mechanism of a reaction.
There is no final assessment.
CEU/PDH is based upon course completion and a certificate is awarded upon completion.

The first Bum Steer of the year was a big one—1,100 pounds, to be exact. The grand champion steer of the 1988 State Fair of Texas turned out to be bum in January 1989, when its carcass flunked a drug test. It had to be condemned. But it had lots of other Bum Steers for company.
Texas politicians were getting condemned, too. John Tower was rejected as Secretary of Defense. Jim Wright resigned as Speaker of the House. Henry Cisneros abdicated as emperor of San Antonio. The Texas Highway Commission gave up on plans to adorn Texas license plates with the slogan "The Friendship State." How about "Freeze a Yankee"? And in the state capitol, East Texas chicken magnate Bo Pilgrim waved $10,000 checks at eight state senators during a heated fight over workers' compensation.
A lot of Texans could have used the money. Preston Smith, for one. He followed John Connally into the Governor's Mansion twenty years ago, and he followed Connally into bankruptcy last September. MBank followed all those other Texas banks into oblivion. The Astros wouldn't pay Nolan Ryan, and he followed Interstate 45 to the Rangers. And don't forget the bankrupt Hunt brothers, Herbert and Bunker. They inherited the fortune of the richest man in the world, H. L. Hunt, and squandered everything but their homesteads and personal possessions.
And the Bum Steer of the Year… who else but our newest corporate resident, Exxon? When the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, causing the biggest oil spill in history, Exxon was headquartered in New York—beyond the reach of Bum Steers. Then, glory be, the company announced that it was moving into our jurisdiction. So welcome to Texas, fellas. You got here just in time.
They Put a Tiger in Their Tanker
Although Joseph Hazelwood had one DWI conviction and his driver's license had been suspended twice, Exxon made him the captain of the Exxon Valdez.
Give or Take 240 Years
Exxon and its partners in the seven-company consortium that runs the Alaska pipeline estimated that a Valdez-size oil spill could happen only once every 241 years.
This Must Be the Place
A CBS-TV film crew, shortly after arriving in Fort Worth to report on a robbery, was robbed of a $30,000 camera.
Donald Trump and Frank Lorenzo confronting each other at a Nellie Connally bash.
He Was Looking for A Short Cut
Carrollton police arrested David James White for bank robbery after he ran into a barbershop during his getaway and got a haircut—even though he is almost bald.
Didn't You Get Suspicious When The Main Course Was Pork?
One week after Governor Bill Clements urged that agriculture commissioner Jim Hightower be impeached for charging $7,000 in meals to a federal grant program, Clements confessed that he had eaten at one of the luncheons.
Hold the Celery and the Hard-boiled Eggs
Bounty of the Sea, Inc., in Sugar Land, announced that it has developed a hot dog made of tuna.
Oh, Shut Up
After the Senate rejected John Tower's nomination for Secretary of Defense, New York Times columnist Russell Baker wrote: "Of course it was good to see a Texan booted away from the Federal trough for once. You don't often get Texas's snout out of that sweet-smelling, ever-loving, money-packed trough, not with all those key Government offices in Texas custody. Why Texans are uniquely qualified to run the country when they can't even run a savings and loan association is a mystery, but it is a rare season that doesn't find them occupying catbird seats all over Washington…."
The Marines Are Looking For a Few Good Saguaros
Relying on a quip by Phil Gramm's press secretary, the AP erroneously reported that the Texas National Guard had received a grant to fight drug smuggling by disguising its members as cactus plants.
Readin', Writin', and … What's The Other One?
Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Rains issued his ten-point plan to reform education. It contained only nine points.
On Second Thought, He's Innocent
Wes Hocker of Houston, after serving as the foreman of the jury that found John Charles Zimmerman guilty of capital murder, agreed to serve as Zimmerman's attorney in a new trial after the conviction was overturned on appeal.
You Know the Old Saying: One Writer, One Ranger
The City of Waco contributed $100,000 to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum for a wing that will recognize the work of James Michener.
Some Folks Never Learn
More than four thousand Texans attended two auctions held by the Federal Saving and Loan Insurance Corporation in Dallas, featuring art, furniture, and other assets once purchased by high-flying Texas S&L executives. Buyers paid more than $1.1 million for items valued at no more that $625,000.
They Weren't Really Bad. There were Just Boared
A pack of about a hundred wild pigs preyed on an area around Lake Lavon, north of Dallas, attacking humans, killing dogs and chickens, destroying gardens, and knocking over barbeque grills and picnic tables.
They're Both Right
After Bishop Rene Gracida of Corpus Christi saw a Pepsi commercial on MTV featuring Madonna singing "Like a Prayer," he declared the commercial sacrilegious and urged Catholics not to buy Pepsico products. Madonna's press agent responded, "He should stop watching MTV."
The Quaker Oats Company and Attorney General Jim Mattox sued each other over whether oats help fight cholesterol.
He Campaigned on a Platform Of Raising Test Scores
One month after being elected to the Joshua school board at the age of eighteen, Larry Marlar admitted that he had removed a physics test from a file

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1thankful The Perfect holiday decoration. What a great decoration. The skates depict the real thing. I get a lot of compliments:) November 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rabbitt Ice Skates Door Wreath Received these and loved them. They brought back feelings of an old time Christmas. They look beautiful hung on my front door. A whimsical change to the standard round Christmas Wreath. Have had so many compliments on this purchase. Will use this for years to come. December 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by vintagemama Jolly good skates Just received this holiday decoration in time to decorate for a cookie-exchange party and Christmas. They are better than I expected after reading the previous reviews. I was a little hesitant to order after reading that most of the customers received them damaged but mine arrived fine. They were packed really well to prevent damage in transit. Nothing was broken but two or three of the laces came unglued on the boot. Nothing major. They look really good and the battery pack very easy to open. Also, love the fact that they are on a timer for 6 hours on, 18 off! Don't have to mess with them at all. They illuminate just as it's getting dark. You can tell they aren't real skates but they still look quaint. Only thing I was a little disappointed with was the quality of the greenery. The pine boughs look real but the other berries and mistletoe look a little plastic. Oh well, it blends in with the pine and the lights at night look sparkly and pretty. A unique way to light your front entrance at Christmas time. December 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by momoftwins Cute but arrived broken was so excited to open the box but was disappointed when the skate blade arrived broken off the skate. The packing looked like it should have protected the item when shipped so not sure if I want to return or exchange at this point. Hoping Customer Service will handle with ease. Can't recommend just yet.... November 10, 2013

Awards season has long been the perfect time for the movie industry's fresh faces to gain exposure at movie premieres, on red carpets and in a barrage of print and TV interviews. Often, it's when we first become aware of young actresses, like Oscar nominees Hailee Steinfeld and Jennifer Lawrence last year. This year, it's not just teenagers catching our eye; a few ladies who've been around for decades are finally getting their due as well. All week long, we at TheFablife are saluting these women and looking forward to what they'll bring us after the last statuettes are handed out on Sunday. We've looked at Berenice Bejo's, Shailene Woodley's, Melissa McCarthy's and Rooney Mara's big moments so far, and now we turn to …
Who: Jessica Chastain
Age: 30
What she did before 2011: A graduate of the Juilliard School, Jessica started her acting career in theater and broke onto the small screen in 2004 appearing in hit television shows like, ER, Veronica Mars and Law & Order. In 2008 she made her film debut starring in Jolene.
Why we're paying attention now: We're just going to rename 2011 "The Year of Jessica Chastain." Jessica managed to star in not one or two, but seven films last year. She's received heaps of kudos for starring in The Help and The Tree of Life, winning over 35 critics awards, but lest we forget, she also appeared in Coriolanus, Take Shelter, Texas Killing Fields and Wild Salome (yeah, sorry, we missed some of those too). For her role as Celia Foote in The Help, Jessica received Academy Award, BAFTA, Golden Globe and SAG nominations for Best Supporting Actress. And as if that weren't enough she's managed to look stunning on every red carpet.
What's next? With no signs of stopping for a breather, Jessica already has five films in post-production, including Tar, Mama and Wettest County and is currently filming the untitled Osama Bin Laden thriller directed by The Hurt Locker's Kathryn Bigelow.

A shaker that carries a tune.
The Shonga Guiro by Eccentric Systems Design was designed to be both tunable and melodic. This American-made shonga was turned from solid hardwoods with die-cast chrome hardware and a goatskin head. With this tunable head, Shongas are tuned to a pitch, then with simple finger techniques the player can play or shake melodic notes with a range of over a full octave. Other shakers rattle at a single, random pitch. Shongas add the ability to move the sound in pitched notes, adding much more dynamic range to the instrument.
Shonga's versatility as a melodic shaker or hand drum will also produce a high-pitched "pop" sound like that of a woodblock or clave. However with the Shonga, these sounds can also change pitches with a simple finger technique. Shonga's hand drum can thus produce melodic lines to cover Agogô bell patterns or even solo melodies.

Liz Clairborne's The High Low Inspired By FashionablyMarketing.Me01/25/2011 | Macala Wright 2
It looks like branded content continues to be all the rage in the fashion industry. This morning, in an effort to track down news on Net-A-Porter's real-time, social shopping tool launched at DLD, we stumbled across a new fashion business blog called The High Low.
A tastefully designed website, we started digging around it, as many of the topics written about are similar to those covered by independent fashion business sites like FashionablyMarketing.Me, Signature9 and Business Of Fashion.
What we discovered was that The High Low is a new blog funded by Liz Claiborne. The about us page says:
"The High Low is here to celebrate the great democratization of fashion. We cover the latest trends in retail with a focus on e-commerce, and we're here to bring you the latest news on how the fashion and apparel industry is evolving to fit today's consumer, and today's marketplace."
The site also stipulates that the editorial content is independent of Liz Claiborne brands. Most of the RSS feeds integrated into this site are from major publications whose stories are often inspired by independent sites such as the ones I mentioned above.
While we're honored to part of the inspiration of this new big brand web project, we can't help but wonder: Why would Liz Claiborne launch a branded site about the business side of the fashion. Any thoughts or ideas?
Moreover, why would a brand like Liz Claiborne not ask an independent fashion writer to contribute to something like this, much like ShopBop has successfully done with Eat, Sleep Denim?
Hopefully, if The High Low does discover a story via our website, as we often break news, as do Signature9 and Business Of Fashion, they'll be courteous enough to link to us and cite us as a source as they've done with other major news sites. I could already make the argument that the article on Google Boutiques The High Low published in January was inspired by our in-depth analysis of the project.
Another budding web trend is fashion designers and brands starting to copy independent fashion professionals in order to gain faster notoriety for themselves. Hopefully this isn't true of this new resource.

11 Steps For Fashionable Success In 201112/28/2010 | Macala Wright 15
This has been a week for catching up, checking in and coordinating. After reviewing all of the emails I saved six months ago to follow up on, I realized that the most common question I've been asked in 2010 is: "How do I become a success in the fashion industry?" The question came from bloggers, designers, students and professionals — individuals who wanted to become social media consultants, start an agency or become the next top blogger — they all had voices that wanted to be heard.
Here are my 11 insights for moving towards a more successful existence in the fashion industry in 2011 — in no particular order:
1. LOVE: You have to LOVE the what you do. You have to LOVE your business, your blog, your company and your talents. LOVE is the only constant through the ups and downs you're going to experience as your move forward in your life and career.
2. LOYALTY: A successful business is built on LOYALTY. If someone helps you move forward, seize the opportunity to help him or her when you're in the position to return the favor; do it no questions asked! Be cautious about burning bridges; as you grow older, you'll find that rebuilding those bridges becomes harder and harder to do. But remember, never allow kindness and LOYALTY to be mistaken for weakness. Stay away from relationships that contain one way streets, no reciprocity and parties who think your kind intentions make you a door mat.
3. GUT: You've got to trust your GUT — the inner core of your being that contributes to your success. Unfortunately, we sometimes give our LOYALTY to the wrong person or alliance. Learn from these mistakes; if your GUT tells you no, stirring those familiar feelings of deceit or anxiety, move gracefully and swiftly away. This is a necessary art to master in your personal and professional worlds.
4. PASSION: Closely interwoven with LOVE, you need PASSION. Do you know how Margiela was inspired by 17th century Japanese footwear? Do you find that website code creates fashionable, poetic haiku? Do you Tumblr towards ecstasy in search of fashionable online content? That PASSION is fueled by your LOVE of fashion. That PASSION enables you to stop following trends in fashion and business and become an expert — a person who is a trendsetter and adviser within a specific niche.
5. SELF: Can you remove yourself and analyze a problem from a non-biased point of view? Do you follow the latest trends that the Internet and magazines are raving about, or are the trends they're introducing already old in your mind by the time they've reached your ears? Learn to transcend the now — stop living your life in perpetual beta or real-time; take some time to focus on teaching your SELF to transcend being reactionary and become a visionary. The evolution of SELF is something that only you can do.
6. MARCH: You have to MARCH to the beat of your own drum. It's important to cultivate this practice, as opposed to mindlessly marching along with the masses. Working on SELF will help you MARCH with confidence on your path. I would also recommend taking up a Yoga practice of your choice.
7. RISE: A few years ago, I experienced career epiphanies through slight intoxication with a well known figure in technology (It was SXSW – you kinda have to drink in Texas). Not realizing the impact and truthfulness of the conversation until later, I'd like to share it now.
This person told me, "Macala, cream rises to the top. Stop paying attention to your perceived competition, because you know what? It's exactly what I said, it's your perception. Go create your own world through the content you produce. Tell your story and your industry's story from your perspective. If you're right, you'll RISE. The people you can't get to to will come to you."
8. INVEST: I've always said that FashionablyMarketing.Me and my other properties were companies or ideas built on Open Source and Broken Dreams. There's a commonality in everyone that works for any media property or company of mine. They love fashion and they're hungry. Their PASSION drives them to work for what they ultimately want. What's more, open source software and social platforms enabled me to find them.
Once I found them, I got to know them, and interestingly enough, found that each of us had a story that had caused our lives to shatter in some way; leaving us with broken dreams and hearts. But our PASSION and sense of SELF caused us to rebuild and MARCH towards our dreams. I've INVESTED in every partner or employee related to my business. I'm a firm believer in the "hire for attitude, train for skill" approach. All that glitters is not gold; it's better to mold what you need than to find a pre-made, perfect (or what seems to be perfect) person to fill a role.
9. RELIEVE: Sometimes after we've INVESTED, we realize we've made the wrong choices. It's okay — to err is human, to forgive is divine. But once you realize that you've made an error, you have to RELIEVE that situation. In order to grow the right way, hire people and partner with other companies slowly and smartly. Build long term relationships instead of one night stands. If you make a mistake, dissolve the relationship quickly and tactfully.
10. RISK: Sometimes you have to trust your GUT and take a RISK — whether calculated or simply crazy. If you don't investigate or implement those ideas you just have a hunch about or that idea that took you from your sleep at 2AM on Tuesday, you can miss valuable opportunities! The Internet is a digital experimentation playground. Go for broke – why do you think VCs invest in so many technologies?
11. FREE: I hate the model of FREE, but in paying your dues, you are going to do things for FREE. But here's the key to FREE: always do things for FREE or for profit, but never do them for cheap. After you've paid your dues, make sure you get your value.
The Polyvore Blogger Network12/23/2010 | Admin 1
If you've been on the wait list like us, you recently found a holiday gift in your inbox — the announcement that The Polyvore Blogger Network is finally here!
But, don't worry if you weren't on the list. It's not too late to join in the fashionable fun and sign up for the Polyvore Blogger Network.
Polyvore is a useful tool for brands and retailers, as well as bloggers. And with the launch of The Polyvore Blogger Network, bloggers can receive some great perks by creating fashion sets and interacting within the Polyvore community.
"We love our bloggers and appreciate your support over the last few years. Polyvore is dedicated to supporting and growing the blogging community. Today, we are introducing the Polyvore Blogging Network which offers you exclusive access to insider tips on using Polyvore, special events and money making opportunities for your blog." — Polyvore
We kinda love Polyvore for that statement. It sounds like Polyvore is committed to working with bloggers and implementing programs to thank bloggers for their participation (as opposed to Google, who…well, you know what we think about that whole Boutiques thing).
11 More Consumer Trends To Watch For In 201112/17/2010 | Admin 1
Eleven is the "it" number for 2011 when it comes to consumer trends. In addition to those 11 identified by Brand Keys, TrendWatching has identified 11 more consumer trends to watch for in 2011.
We are particularly interested in watching these trends as they gain momentum in the new year:
- Pricing Pandemonium: Thanks to technology and brands' increasing willingness to hop on board the modern times train, group buying, niche market club memberships, flash sale sites, local discounts and dynamic pricing will make buying and snagging the perfect deal more gratifying than ever in 2011.
- Social-Lites And Twinsumers: As a way of personalizing their consumer experience, people are becoming increasingly invested in brands by associating themselves with people with similar likes and dislikes as well as talking about and curating things they are interested in. With the evolution of social media and e-commerce, the customer is becoming more powerful.
- Emerging Generosity: Giving will become more than the trendy thing to do, becoming an expectation for any person or brand who has the ability to give back. We look forward to seeing more companies and people implementing an embedded generosity mindset.
- Eco Superior: In 2011, we'll no longer be satisfied with green products; we will buy products that are not only greener, but made better than their earth-harming alternatives. This is an exciting point in history because humans have been dedicated to making it happen. People have created the technology necessary and brands have heard the message loud and clear: green is beautiful and can be better.
- Owner-Less: Another sign that we humans and the businesses we create are becoming globally responsible, we will strive to buy less, opting for fractional ownership and leasing when possible. Expect to see more car leasing, handbag borrowing and runway design renting in 2011.
These consumer trend forecasts offer a positive outlook for 2011. Amazingly priced products and services, customer satisfaction, philanthropy-focused people and businesses, eco-fabulous essentials and global responsibility…could we really pack much more greatness into one year?

Technology's Impact On Trend & Fashion Forecasting12/13/2010 | Macala Wright 7
The Impact Of Social Media On Trend Forecasting
After the Behind The Seams trend forecasting panel and Erin Weinger's insights, I found that the panelists had only scratched the surface on the impact of digital media on trend forecasting. I wondered if online trending services and real-time forecasting were making traditional mediums obsolete.
Digital Vs. Traditional, WhoWhatWearDaily Vs. Vogue, street Style will not replace a highly stylized photography. We have to learn to be friends. – Shane Cisneros, Celebrity Stylist
With the exception of the Erin, most of the panelists respected online technology, but didn't embrace them. Fran Sude said, "WGSN and Stylesight have color files, but they don't have tangibility." I wanted my response to be,
"Tangibility and feeling something is one thing. Yes, I love to feel and touch certain fabrics and materials, but technology has event made texture accessible via my iPad. I've seen shoppers in West Elm and CB2 take out their iPad, load Gilt Home and lay the iPad on a couch to decide if they're going to buy something online while simultaneously purchasing in a store! That's impactful!
Do you use Polyvore or have you crowedsourced opinions? How have sites like Style Sight impacted your business? How have you used raw data, mined it, and put it back together in a way that makes sense for you customers to forecast online sell through? Did you know this could be done?"
My feeling is that digital has a positive impact on many traditional business to business services; including trend and merchandising services. How to retain your audience is the same question, but is now: How do I retain my business's customers? The answer is the same: great customer service and provide a services that brings them back for more. You listen. Your business and its services have to evolve with your customer in order to remain relevant. Use technology for that.
Fascinated by the panel, I turned to two fashion industry fashion forecasting experts for West Coast and East Coast insights on fashion and technology.
Industry Expert Ruth Staiman on Technology's Impact On Forecasting
Ruth Staiman, former fashion director for Bloomingdales and current CEO of The Fashion Office:
Technology IS The New Fashion: Fashion and trend forecasting is a process that begins with color and fabric predictions, trend selections and comes full circle with trade show and fashion show attendance. Add in a global view of film, art and popular culture and you've got it. Before the internet, Fashion Direction was based on instinct. We gathered all the information by hand and presented it to our buyers in packets labeled "For Your Eyes Only".
The internet and sites like Stylesight, Stylelist, MyPantone and Polyvore are tools we never dreamed of having that add more information and data to the process. Polyvore allows consumers and experts to work with "current" fashion to create new trends. I'd like to see more influencers on Polyvore creating and sharing to push the envelope. Stylesight is a microcosm of a process that used to require traveling around the world. Information that was only available to Retail executives is now in the public domain. This will push Trend Forecasting to a new level.
A Trend Forecaster could be gobbled up into the black hole of this virtual fashion world for eternity. Technology does add infinitely to the process, but "being" in the real world, in the street, and at the designer collections is still the driving force behind great retail and editorial Fashion Direction.
Trend Forecaster Industry Interview: Wendy K. Bendoni
Wendy Bendoni is a Professor of Fashion Marketing at Woodbury University Professor and Fashion Forecaster and European Correspondent for StyleLens for the past 20 years. Bendoni is also the creative director of the Lifestyle prediction service Design-Options and fashion software developer of SnapFashun: CAD .
FMM: How has Technology impacted Trend Forecasting?
WB: Tracking fashion trends used to mean traveling abroad five times a year to review runway, retail and street fashion. It would take two weeks for the team to research and another two weeks for a team of 10 to pull the complete report together. The report would then be published and sent to our clients for review, direction and inspiration. The total process would take over a month.
Today we have reporters around the world that send us up-to-the-minute footage of what is being worn on the streets as well as what retailers are showcasing. We receive 10,000 to 15,000 images a month from Tokyo to Milan that are tagged and categorized for our clients.
Technology has created a platform for us to take the information given by our reporters and used to track trends though social media. It's fascinating how walking the streets of Amsterdam only gives you half of the story of why a trend is popular. To completely understand the significance of a particular trend, it is important to fully understand how and why that trend came into existence. After visiting social media communities, I can usually pinpoint where the trend originated and where it is heading. My days of strolling the local fashionable hangouts has been redirected to visiting the local blogs or social-media communities.
The job of ten has now been replaced by the job of five who have multiple platforms of information streaming at one time. No longer are there set launch dates for our trend reports. Trend analysis reports are done on a daily bases. Digital sketches are drawn with our software program, SnapFashun, and downloadable for our clients to immediately use in production or online trend presentations. Technology has given trend forecasters tools that seem to change daily. I value the research process of determining the next big trend but also look forward to new ways of tracking future trends.
FMM: What is the value of real-time data?
WB: Real-time data is my secret weapon for researching new trends at retail. There is an overwhelming amount of real-time information available today to track consumer shopping habits. Yes, you can monitor live feeds of shopping behaviors but you better know your fashion theories to really determine how this will effect the trend direction. I find that real-time data most useful when researching a particular trend in the market place. Real-time data that can be immediately collected is truly revolutionizing trend forecasting. Today, new divisions are being created in forecasting firms to best track and evaluate the data collected.
Fast Fashion is the other important advance for technology in the fashion industry. Fast Fashion used to refer to throw-away fashion you would find at Forever 21. Now this term refers to the speed a collection is first introduced to their customers via technology. Burberry is a key player in this movement of Fast Fashion. Their shows are shot as a film and broadcast in private pre-views in select Burberry stores. After the shows, the customers are given an iPad to immediately shop the collection. Fast-Fashion is now born!
The consumer is evolving and expecting immediately gratification after previewing the runway collections. The new need for Fast Fashion is changing the supply and demand of products and services. This in turn has forecasters looking to see who is next to use technology to supply their clients with Fast-Fashion options.
FMM: What's the future of technology and forecasting?
WB: Technology and forecasting are forever joined together. Retailers demand trend information at a moment notice, while manufactures are in search of key selling silhouettes. Forecasters are open to new technology and have fully embraced new tools for tracking and monitoring the consumer. Technology continues to unlock new explorations from aviator societies to new technology driven materials.
As technology continually evolves and impacts the fashion, apparel and retail industries faster and faster, how has your business or services adopted?

Fashion + Retail: Marketing + Consumer Trends For 201112/01/2010 | Admin 3
Brand Keys continues to prove itself as an authority on retail insights and customer loyalty, measuring the direction and velocity of consumer values 12 to 18 months in advance of the marketplace. As brands, designers and retailers prepare for 2011, Brand Keys identifies 11 trends which it believes will have direct consequences to the success or failure of next year's branding and marketing efforts.
11 Factors For Marketing Success
The number 11 is significant in the year 2011, according to Brand Keys. In symbolism and spiritualism, the number 11 is said to represent intuition, honesty, understanding and the ideal. The number 11 is said to provide both insight and inspiration.
- Value Is What The Consumer Says It Is: Excessive spending will continue to be replaced by a reason-to-buy at all. The appearance of ubiquity will be trouble for brands with no authentic meaning, whether high or low-end.
- Brand, Meet Value: Brands will increasingly become a surrogate for "value." What makes goods and services valuable will increasingly be what is wrapped up in the brand and what consumers believe the brand means.
- Zappos-ification: Marketers will have to comprehend what drives their category, know what consumers expect, and where to focus both process and brand efforts. Zappos sells shoes, but their brand equity lies primarily in the emotional driver of "service" (how they get shoes to customers and accept returns).
- Ethosnomics: Brands increasingly must stand for something beyond just rational items. Brands cannot just "stand for" the cause. Doing what others do and just because they're doing it won't work very long or very effectively. Corporate social responsibility efforts will need to be believable, sustained, and engaging. Some of the strongest will come from the brands that connect the public and the personal in today's financially-strained world.
- Differentiation Can Be Emotional: Differentiation remains critical to brand success as the proliferation of products and services available to consumers continues. While true innovation exists when it comes to the offerings available, differentiation will come from what the brand offers emotionally to consumers.
- They're Talking To Each Other Before Talking To The Brand: Social Networking and DIY media-exchange of information outside of the brand space will increase as consumers become more comfortable with their power to get the true story on products from total strangers. Brands will need to drive positive feedback out in the virtual world like never before.
- Friendtelligence: Influence by friends will also increase. If consumers trust the community, they will extend trust to the brand. Not just word-of-mouth, but the right word-of-mouth is what matters. Look for more websites using Facebook Connect.
- Putting The Brand Into Their Hands: It is increasingly handheld technology that facilitates transactions. Brands that make it hard to buy on the small screen will suffer. Watch for promotions and coupons to continue to explode, especially if the brand can customize that experience.
- Prolifetition: Look for increased competition, and not just from traditional brands. Ubiquitous awareness is replaced by strong word of mouth and positive viral sharing. Knowing what drives a category, what consumers expect, and what creates loyalty can give you a meaningful advantage when entering new and uncharted categories populated by strangers to your brand.
- Exponential Expectations: Brands are barely keeping up with consumer expectations now. Every day, consumers adopt and devour the latest technologies and innovations, and hunger for more. As app technology becomes more entrenched, brands will be expected to deliver in that space. Look for more apps in 2011.
- Engagement Is Not A Fad: It is the way today's consumers do business. Marketers will continue to use engagement methods like the right platform, program, message and experience. But there is only one objective for the future: brand engagement.
These trends will require changes on the parts of how individuals and companies measure, manage, and market their brands. But after all, isn't that what the dawn of digital has been prompting retailers to do all along?

At its event in Los Angeles today, Amazon announced five new Kindle models: an ultracheap E Ink Kindle; a new "paperwhite" Kindle with a touchscreen and LED light to compete with Barnes & Noble's Nook with Glowlight; an update of its 7-inch Kindle Fire with improved hardware and software; and two "HD" models, with 7-inch and 8.9-inch screen options. Amazon also announced that it would offer its own basic data plan for its 4G Fire–a very disruptive move that puts pressure on carriers to offer their own lower-price plans, and sets the stage for an expected Amazon smartphone launch next year.
With these products, Amazon is:
- Upgrading its devices to match its service. Last year, Bezos emphasized the service over the device, and that was key to Amazon's success–consumers buy tablets for what they can dowith them, which helps explain why Amazon is the No. 2 tablet brand in the US. This year, with features like Dolby Digital Plus sound and what it calls a "Retina-class display," Amazon is bringing up the quality of the hardware to match the service, which is good for customer satisfaction and good for perception of Amazon's brand. Adding features like a front-facing camera, gyroscopes, and location APIs make Amazon's devices more appealing to developers, too.
- Creating synergy between Amazon services. Kindle users may be familiar with the "Xray" feature that pulls up an index of words and characters in an eBook. Now, Amazon extends "Xray" to videos, using its IMDB data, so that viewers can bring up character details from any frame of a movie. (We have a feeling Amazon is using Watchwith's metadata syndication technology to do this, but Amazon did not confirm that.) Amazon is also using "Whispernet" to sync not only books and videos now but also games, and more impressively, synching its Audible audiobooks with Kindle eBooks if users own both types of content.
- Selectively partnering with its competitors, and competing with its partners. Amazon's choices underscore the heated platform battle going on over consumers. In the Fire, Amazon defaults to Google search but offers a maps application from Nokia, not Google (Nokia owns NAVTEQ and considers it a key asset of its future location and commerce strategy). For productivity, Amazon now uses OfficeSuite instead of Quickoffice, since the latter company was recently acquired by Google. Amazon worked with Microsoft to launch the Fire with first tablet version of HD Skype–even though Microsoft will be coming out with its own Windows 8 tablets featuring Skype. The Fire is still built on a heavily customized version of Google's Android operating system, but Amazon's products compete directly with Google's Nexus tablets. Amazon's new data plan competes directly with its carrier partners, even as its devices push more customers to AT&T's network. Amazon's cafeteria plan for picking partners gives the company greater control over the customer experience and its overall product strategy.
This is an important launch for Amazon, as it continues to evolve its strategy of service syndication: pushing Kindle, Prime, Instant Video, Cloud Drive, and now its data plan to as many touchpoints as possible, making it more convenient and pleasurable for consumers to buy Amazon stuff. Amazon's services are the core of its devices, and the devices enhance Amazon's service: A virtuous cycle where Amazon gains an increasing share of consumers' wallets. Amazon reports that in 2011, consumers that bought a Kindle read 4x the books (print and digital) they did before they bought a Kindle; that's up from 2.8x in 2008. The device-service synergy is working.
And Amazon isn't finished. In a Forrester survey of 4,650 US consumers conducted online in August 2012, 31% reported that they had a credit card on file with Amazon, compared with 18% that have one stored with Apple, and 5% with Google. That payment connection enables Amazon to roll out more subscription services–which we see as key to Amazon's future success–and to offer new products like smartphones, which 23% of consumers we surveyed said they'd be interested in purchasing if it were available. What it means: In the post-PC era, services rule, and Amazon is getting quite good at offering services consumers want. Like Google before it, Amazon is methodically disrupting adjacent industries. If your product strategy hasn't been in its line of fire yet, it may be just a matter of time.

A Pakistani court on Monday (April 7) directed police to register a case against film actress Meera and her husband in connection with their alleged sex video.
High drama was witnessed at the hearing as the court was due to indict Musharraf over his 2007 imposition of emergency rule.
This is the first time in Pakistan's history that a former military chief is facing trial for treason.
A British national of Pakistani origin, arrested in 2010 for writing letters claiming to be a prophet, was sentenced to death.
The court said it had been informed by authorities that Musharraf was barred from travelling out of the country as he was included in the Interior Ministry's Exit Control List.
The 70-year-old former president's trial in the case was also postponed to November 11.
Musharraf's lawyers have said he faces security risks and hence the case should be moved out from Quetta.
Musharraf is currently being held at his farmhouse in Islamabad.
According to Crime Branch sources,wanted bookie brothers Sanjay and Pawan Jaipur,who are said to be hiding in Dubai
Court gave its ruling after its Registrar and Zaidi reviewed security arrangements at the farmhouse.
Twenty-five sailors from Gujarat were convicted by a Pakistan court on Tuesday and jailed for allegedly entering its waters.

Wake and Bake: Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Mini Muffins
Instead of butter, I use a combination of milk and sour cream in this recipe, which results in muffins that aren't dense or greasy at all. The light one-biters get texture and a little nutritional bump from oats and sweetness from chocolate chips. More

Pittsburgh Scores the G-20 Summit
Washington, London … Pittsburgh.
It's time for the onetime Rust Belt City to crow. On Thursday, the White House announced that the city of about 300,000 will host the next G-20 Summit in September, saying it was chosen because of its "commitment to employing new and green technology to further economic recovery and development."
The G-20 finance ministers held their first summit in Washington in November 2008, and met again in April in London, at which time they decided to meet again in September to assess the status of the global economy.
The G-20 news was the latest tonic for a midsize city that has suffered many knocks since the U.S. steel industry began shrinking drastically in the 1970s.
The city, which marked its 250th birthday last year, saw its Pittsburgh Steelers football team make history this year, winning its sixth Super Bowl, more than any other team in the National Football League. Its Penguins hockey team is on the way to the Stanley Cup finals.
In picking Pittsburgh, the Obama administration capitalizes on one of its favorite themes -- the environment. The David L. Lawrence Convention Center, completed in 2003, received an endorsement from the U.S. Green Building Council, a nonprofit group that promoted environmentally friendly design. The center relies on skylights for much of its lighting, uses recycled hand towels and reclaims water from fountains for use in toilets.
"The city has remade itself over the past 25 years," said James Rohr, chairman and chief executive of PNC Financial Services, based in downtown Pittsburgh. "I think there's an opportunity for the city to showcase itself as a great place to work and live." He noted the region lost 250,000 steel-related jobs in the 1980s, but a number of other industries, including health care, technology and robotics, have sprung up since then.
That broader economic base has helped the region weather the recession, which some local leaders said played a role in its being chosen to host the summit. Pittsburgh's unemployment rate of 7.6% in March was more than a percentage point below the national average of 8.9%.
The city's 29-year-old mayor, Luke Ravenstahl, was understandably pleased. "We're especially proud that Pittsburgh was chosen because of our status as a symbol of economic transformation, as well as our leadership in the green movement," he said.

text: Kosher Wine Enjoys Placement in 'I'm On One' Video Bernard Mendelbaum July 20, 2011 Culture 7 Comments Drake using an appropriate cup for this vintageDespite an annual pre-passover WSJ puff piece praising the new line of kosher wines, most readily available kosher wines remain dreadful. This is in no small part because kosher mandate requires that a wine be "cooked" if there is a threat that a gentile will touch it, a preparation that would horrify most oenologists even for a quaffing wine. Bartenura wines are particularly vile because they are so sickeningly sweet. Only clueless Orthodox Jews who never tasted the elegant fruits of the secular world could drink such sugary urine on a regular basis. It's kosher wine lines like Bartenura that helped create the myth of Jewish sobriety. I hope the rappers in this video, "I'm On One," didn't actually have to drink the product. Drake is Jewish, so he's probably used to it, but as for Dj Khaled, a Palestinian, this is yet another abuse at the hands of our people. Please see minute 3:08. Hat tip: Frum Satire What do you think? 7 Responses Tal July 21, 2011 There are many outstanding Kosher wines to be found today from around the world and in my opinion the most interesting wines are the Israeli wines. Kosher wines do NOT have to be "cooked" MEVUSAL- only those who chose to do so. There are many kosher wines that are just as kosher without being cooked. As long as it does not state MEVUSAL on the label, the wines ar no different from regular non kosher wines. Kosher is in the process and handling of the grapes from picking to bottling and not in the cooking. Try some Israeli wines like TABOR or CASTEL and be amazed. Reply Ploni Almoni July 24, 2011 I would like to know what is Mr. Mendelbaum's basis for claiming that "most readily available kosher wines remain dreadful"? Has he tasted most readily available kosher wines? Here's what the Wall Street Journal had to say: "We are often asked if the mevushal process harms the wine. In our tastings through the years, we haven't found a consistent difference in taste between mevushal and nonmevushal kosher wines. The Goose Bay Pinot was mevushal. In this tasting, about a third of our sample and about a third of our favorites were mevushal." Source: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120727925919488809.html Reply Michael July 24, 2011 Well I think those two previous posts pretty much discredit Mr. Mendelbaum's entire post. Could you at least find out how much Bartenura paid for the placement, and why on earth they're trying to market their product to hip-hop fans? This could have been a much more interesting post. Reply Bernard Mendelbaum July 24, 2011 PLONI ALMONI, did you not read even the first half of the sentence of the post? "Despite an annual pre-passover WSJ puff piece praising the new line of kosher wines…" In other words, bring a different source. Not the Passover WSJ story. MICHAEL wrote, "and why on earth they're trying to market their product to hip-hop fans?" Yeah, that's a tough one. Why on earth would a wine maker who's product ostensibly only appeals to a segment of the kosher consumer want to expand into the massive urban market? Why? I don't know, MICHAEL. I just don't know. Reply David July 28, 2011 Bartenura does not make great wines. I call their Moscato d'Asti "wine soda." It's not something I'd recommend to a connoisseur, but it is more vapid than vile. It's sweet, but not exactly Mogen David sweet. But your assertion that most kosher wines "remain dreadful" is flat out wrong, and so is your bigoted assumption that kosher consumers (who, by the way, are not all Orthodox) are "clueless." Even those of us who haven't tasted non-Kosher wines can get comparative information from others, including those who start keeping kosher later in life. I know several such people–including a couple of gourmet chefs–and they have nothing but positive comments on the relative quality of kosher wines. (Kosher cheese … now that's another story.) Mevushal amounts to flash pasteurization at 180 degrees Farenheit. Many of the better wines are not mevushal; some perfectly good ones are. I would assume that it does not improve wine, but it is nowhere near as deleterious as you seem to believe. It certainly does not render it undrinkable. Besides, non-mevushal wines are not exactly hard to find. I have seen many positive reviews of kosher wines–some mevushal, some not–by actual experts, including Robert Parker. Given your prejudice, you probably assume any positive review of a kosher wine must be a puff piece. But I'll take their opinions, the Wall Street Journal's word, and the evidence of my taste buds, over the clueless rantings of an ignorant bigot like you. Reply Sammy October 3, 2011 First of all not all kosher wine is cooked. Cooking is not essential to make wines kosher. Secondly, as other posters have commented there are wines that are certified kosher that come in all varietials and levels of sweetness. Third the quality is now as good or as bad as any other wine available. Fourth, Italians must be stupid or ignornat and are all probably Jewish – because the amout of Moscato consumed by Gentiles particularly Italians – far exceeds that consumed by any Orthodox Jews. If you can stomach it Mr. Mendelbaum, perhaps you should try Sara Bee Moscato. It's a little less sweet and a little more bubbly than the blue bottle. Plus it's about half the price of the Bartenura, so your investment will be limited. Oh, and if you want to be authentic, drink your Moscato with an ice cube. Caio amico mio. The Italian people thank you for your insult and will return the favor I am sure. Reply Lewis Pasco May 4, 2013 Well Mr. Mendelbaum, I took my almost 2 years to catch your post, but less than 5 minutes to dig up plenty of material to dispute it. Really you know nothing about Kosher wine in the modern world. But that of course doesn't stop you from pretending you do! Your request for other sources than the "WSJ Puff Piece" – 1) NY Times: by Eric Asimov their regular wine columnist http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/20/dining/reviews/kosher-wines-for-the-seder-table.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 2)Epicurious (written by Howard Goldberg who regularly contributes the the Sunday NY Times a column about "value" wines under $20, rarely covering Kosher specifically) http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/drinking/wine/top5_kosherwines 3)Gayot, a top website about food and wine http://www.gayot.com/wine/top10kosher-wines/main.html 4) Foodrepublic.com by Chantal Martineau a Canadian independent wine writer, another website \http://www.foodrepublic.com/2012/04/05/10-great-kosher-wines-drink-right-now 5) By Jeff Leve for "The Winecellar Insider" http://www.thewinecellarinsider.com/2013/03/kosher-wine-guide-with-buying-tips-for-the-holidays/ 6) By S.

BTW, almost all these authors know, in fact, very litle about Kosher wine as none of them are remotely specialists in the field but rather have far broader fields to cover.

Fifteen Soldiers with the North Carolina National Guard's 621st Survey and Design Team, 505th Engineer Battalion, 130th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, were honored during a farewell ceremony held at the National Guard Armory in Charlotte, N.C. on May 30, 2014.
The team of engineers are scheduled to deploy in support of Operation Spartan Shield, a mission designed to foster partnerships with Kuwaiti Land Forces to work towards collaborative training and sharing opportunities. The unit will be responsible for providing construction geodetic surveys, prepare detailed construction plan drawings, and execute quality assurance and quality control.
Of the 15 Soldiers deploying with the 621st, three of them have already deployed twice and two have already deployed three times in support of the Global War on Terror. Several of the Soldiers also volunteered to deploy with this unit.
The 621st, based out of Gastonia, N.C., has also deployed before; as part of the 505th Engineer Battalion in 2005 and as a separate unit in 2009.
The Soldiers in the unit are eager to perform their mission and represent their state.
"I can't wait to go," said Sgt. Derek Adams, a Gastonia native who is one of the 15 deploying with the 621st. "I'm pretty excited. This deployment is an opportunity to go and leave a positive mark on the world and represent the North Carolina National Guard. It gives us a chance to show the other branches and services that the Guard is just as proficient as them."
Command Sgt. Maj. Paul Terry, the senior enlisted leader for the 130th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, said he looks forward to the great things the Survey and Design team will do.
"These Soldiers are awesome," Terry said. "Over half of the unit has deployed before and most of them volunteered to go on this mission. It speaks volumes of the caliber of the Soldiers in their career field."

THE TIBETAN SECRET RITES OF REJUVENATION By Sirve
- font size decrease font size increase font size
- 1 comment
The Tibetans also knew that how important it was for us to connect ourselves with our higher consciousness in order to stay aware of the spiritual essence in us from which we came. Our spiritual essence creates the structure for many layers of our light-bodies and also our physical body. If we don't focus on our light-body activation we will not be able to make changes in our physical form and the body begins to age.
The story takes us to the Tibetan monastery thousands of years ago where the sacred technique of rejuvenation rites was kept in secret and the practice was developed and passed down by monks from generation to generation, It finally reached the public in the 1930's when it was detailed in Peter Kelder's book "Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth." It is now known as the Five Tibetan Rites, a series of exercises with mystical, age-reversing properties, taking just minutes a day to perform and producing phenomenal benefits within a month with the most dra- matic changes coming after ten weeks. Young people and athletes are especially finding enormous success in reaching their peak per- formance on each level by practicing the Rites.
It is interesting that even Kelder's book didn't include information about the additional six Tibetan Rites shared only between the Gnostic Brothers and until now has been kept secret.
In this article you will learn that there are eleven Sacred Rites of Rejuvenation and not five as originally thought. and I will discuss the esoteric approach which is the key to practicing these rites. These additional six sacred rites were discovered by the late Samael Aun Weor, a Tibetan Lama and Grand Master of Occult wisdom. Samuel's interpretation of how to use your
consciousness to raise your vibration while performing these rites is the core to learning this sacred tradition. I am fortunate that Samaels's interpretation was passed down to me from Master Sunyata and I am blessed to be able to now share this with you.
When devised by the Tibetan Lamas, these exercises were not meant to be mere- ly physical, but were also used as methods of prayer, focused intention to higher con- sciousness and meditation. For the Lamas this practice was so reverent that they prac- ticed these Rites on a Prayer Mat.
Performing these sacred rites is a vehicle to help us to remember who we truly are and helps us to understand where we are going and to realize that time and age really does not exist but is only an invention of the egotistical mind. It helps us to see that not only can we slow down the aging process but that we can also stop and even reverse it. Tibetan Rites can put us on the path to com- plete regeneration, both spiritual and otherwise. It gives us the information to answer all of the questions we might have concern- ing health and rejuvenation by allowing us to investigate through direct experience.
This temple, we call our body can be a perfect vehicle, an art of performance and creation in this beautiful world of matter. The Rites take us on a magical life journey with real meaningfulness and with the highest joy. They are so powerful that they can transform your body to its perfect condition.
If you focus only on the physical aspect while performing these sacred rites it will be just another physical workout leading toward oxidation and aging. By using the Lama's secret approach of syn- thesizing your spirit, mind, emotions, aura field and body you begin to vibrate on a level where you can reach your maximum potential. This is something which is not explained in any of the previous writings and will be explored more in depth as I explain one of the rites.
Add light when you practice each Rite; Become lighter by focus- ing your being, intention, thoughts, words and actions toward lifting your vibration. This starts to transform and change your DNA, cells, organs, endocrine systems and the speed of your chakras so that they can act with their highest potency. Every cell in your body has con- sciousness and responds to light.
The goal in practicing the Tibetan Rites is to purify the astral substance, clear and raise the vibration of the etheric and physical bod- ies and incarnate more of the light body and get its structures and energy centers balanced and functioning properly. Through this, the spirit is able to interact highly with your physical matter.
For example:
Stand erect with arms outstretched horizontal to the floor, palms facing down. Your arms should be in line with your shoulders. Spin around clockwise until you become slightly dizzy. Gradually increase number of spins from 1 spin to 21 spins.
Breathing: Inhale and exhale deeply as you do the spins. The esoteric benefit:
What happens in your physical body: 1.All your blood rushes to the peripheral areas of the body and when you stop, your blood rushes back into the center. This high speed flow gives all of your organs an
extreme wake-up call. 2.Your heart starts to beat faster and
the enhanced blood flow cleanses the blood vessels.
3. Your metabolism gets its peak per- formance.
4. Your energy channels (nadis) open
5. Water molecules in every cell in your body begin vibrating on greater level including the DNA.
6, Frequencies are erased in your entire being and your aura field expanded.
7. Negative vibrations lose hold and are no longer part of your being and you are able to carry a higher vibrational light.
While performing the rites it is very important to visualize the brightest and most intense white light (like a laser beam) emanating out from your whole being all the time.
In the Five Tibetans version this is described like a deep relax- ations at the end of the exercises.
Posture: lie flat on your back with your legs fully extended on the ground and your feet about twelve inches apart.
In the new version it has an extremely important meaning. Posture: Face up, with the legs vertical and resting on the wall.
The benefit:
Whoever manages to perform this exercise for three complete hours will reverse the aging process and will experience the effects of rejuvenation. In the beginning this exercise should be performed for at least five minutes working your way up to three hours
By practicing The Tibetan Rites and uplifting one's vibration, the more expansive your consciousness will become and you will view life as never before---You will step into the journey of miracles in each moment.
Sirve, a Reiki Master and an anti-aging expert, has been teaching the esoteric approach for these rites for eleven years throughout the world.
