Death on Vacation
During their vacation and while they were visiting
Jerusalem, George's mother-in-law died.
With death certificates in hand, George went to the American Consulate Office to make arrangements to send the body back to the states for proper burial.
The Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law told George that the sending of a body back to the states for burial is very, very expensive. It could cost as much as $5,000.00.
The Consul continues, in most cases the person responsible for the remains normally decides to bury the body here. This would only cost $150.00.
George thinks for some time and answers, "I don't care how much it will cost to send the body back; that's what I want to do."
The Consul, after hearing this, says, "You must have loved your mother-in-law very much
considering the difference in price."
"No, it's not that," says George. "You see, I know of a case from many years ago of a person that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day he rose from the dead! I just can't take that chance."

Crystal Minx Tail Wins AVN 2012 Best
Fetish Toy Award
VirtuallyAbout, manufacturer of the Crystal Delights™ brand of luxury, handcrafted, natural erotic toys wins the AVN 2012 Award for “Best Fetish Product.”
This new line of anal toys, called the Crystal Minx Tail, is available in assorted tail styles; including Fox, Lynx, Coyote and even different colors of Bunny tail. The fur tails are attached to the original Crystal
 Delights clear Pyrex glass butt plug, which has quickly become one of the preferred high-end plugs in the industry, making for an anal toy that will feel as good to pet as it does to wear.
“We are very honored to have won,” proclaims Shellie Yarnell, Creative Director of the Crystal Delights™ line, “and we thank our customers and fans for the recognition and AVN for this prestigious award.” One of the primary missions of the Crystal Delights toy line is to keep a close relationship with its customers and the Crystal Minx Tail is the “perfect example of the success of listening and responding to our customers,” explains Yarnell.
Shaye Saldana and Amy Baldwin, of the Sales Training, Education and Marketing company, STEME, were at the AEE/ANE show representing this sexy and sleek brand, which is a new addition to the company. Along with winning the award, the Crystal Delights™ line was featured on the AVN Live streaming program during the AEExpo. "The actresses and models for the Live streaming portion of the event could NOT keep their hands off the products, they loved them SO MUCH!" said Shaye. "The Crystal Minx tail was a HUGE hit with all of them and they all wanted to know where to buy them!" mentioned Amy.

Program, and print advertising.
“Once the word got out about Intensity the public started coming to us, demanding to know when it was available and where they could buy it.

Director of Marketing for JOPEN. “With our focus on sexual health and wellness this award is especially an honor. It signifies everything we
have sought to achieve with Intensity. Thank you AVN for this esteemed recognition.”

Sperry Top-Sider Signs Licensing Agreements
Footwear brand Sperry Top-Sider has signed a series of licensing agreements to extend its reach into bags, belts, hosiery, eyewear,
swimwear, headware, scarves, gloves and shoe care.
The Collective Brands-owned company said the new products will launch in spring 2013 and will be sold through the company's wholly-owned
Sperry Top-Sider specialty retail stores across the US and in premium department stores and
specialty retailers across North America.
"These initiatives are critical next steps for Sperry Top-Sider as we aim to connect more broadly with our target consumer and continue
our mission to create the leading nautical performance and lifestyle brand
across the globe," said Gregg Ribatt, CEO of Collective Brands' Performance and Lifestyle group.
The company will partner with Manhattan Beachwear, hosiery manufacturer Refro Corporation, belt manufacturer Tandy Brands, Interbrand, which
makes headwear, scarves and gloves, and US Continental Marketing, a manufacturer of leather and shoe care products in the US.
It said additional deals are also pending with product categories including eyewear and watches, among others.
The licensees will work with Sperry's design and marketing teams to create their collections. Each partner will then be responsible for
marketing and distribution.
CRAiLAR Flax
Naturally Advanced Technologies has announced a partnership with Tuscarora Yarns to explore a range of blended yarns using CRAiLAR
Flax.
As part of the agreement, Tuscarora Yarns will design and manufacture CRAiLAR Flax for sale and distribution to third-party licensees of
CRAiLAR.
The CRAiLAR enzymatic process, which was developed by Naturally Advanced Technologies in partnership with the National Research
Council of Canada, turns natural bast fibers such as flax, hemp, jute and kenaf
into soft finished textiles that are as "comfortable as cotton, but more durable and eco-friendly".
"Tuscarora is one of the most innovative yarn spinners in the world, and has the ability to prepare us for entry into several unexplored
categories such as couture fashion, sports performance, extreme weather gear, and certain sectors of home furnishings," said
Naturally Advanced Technologies CEO Ken Barker.
"This agreement will seek to push the applications of CRAiLAR beyond our first phase of cotton blending and establish new market sectors for
this unique and sustainable natural fiber."
Since March 2011, Naturally Advanced Technologies has entered agreements for CRAiLAR Flax
fiber with HanesBrands, Georgia-Pacific, Levi Strauss, Cintas, Carhartt, Ashland, Westex, Brilliant Global Knitwear and
Target.
