Looking for Love? The Answer May be in Your Dreams!

Looking for Love? The Answer May be in Your Dreams!

Psychics team up to create interactive computer multimedia program that helps people build and realize their dreams, even dreams of love.

BOSTON (PRWEB) February 8, 2006

Valentine's Day inspires many to thoughts of love, re-kindling love, or looking for that new love, that perfect someone. People connect, and things may or may not work out. They seek advice from many sources, but most overlook a prime source of advice that is available every day and costs nothing -- their dreams.

People have looked to dreams for guidance for centuries. The story of Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors from the Bible is a prime example. The inventor, Thomas Edison, took "cat naps" to access his dreams and generate ideas.

ClydeSight Productions, in association with Psychic View Points Entertainment has released a new interactive multimedia program-- the "Dream Angel Oracle" -- that can help people looking for love-- or seeking to build any dream-- achieve success.

It's a self contained FLASH projector presentation that runs on the desktop. It is similar to electronic Tarot cards but goes deeper by using a multi-level interactive response system. The advice dispensed is spiritual and supportive, focusing on the aspects of a person's life to give them the guidance that they need.

"Dream Angels" are the internal guides that all people have available to them. The program helps users get in touch with their personal Dream Angels to draw wisdom and guidance from within themselves, much as intuition provides guidance and direction.

Users engage in "conversations" with the Dream Angels by typing a comment or question, and receiving a response. They can continue the conversation, much as one would do with a counselor. The program goes further by providing the ability to confer with 1, 3 or 5 Dream Angels simultaneously. When in the 3 and 5 Angel Conversation mode, users are in a conference, where the Angels respond individually to the comment or question asked. The program is augmented with an original musical soundtrack that enhances introspection through aural stimulation.

The response or advice from the Angels often involves direct dream work—keeping a dream book, programming dreams and what to focus on. Sometimes, the connection between this advice and the question is very profound. One program user commented "I asked about finding a date and was told to check my health. I didn't see the connection until I realized that when I am healthy, I am more attractive to others!"

Cathrine Garnell, British author of "Basil the Bionic Cat", has been using the program. "All the angels are great but the 5 angels are really great, I had 5 answers to one question-- it was fabulous."

The program was developed by a team of psychics from Psychic View Points Entertainment who have years of experience with cards and other divination systems. Psychic View Points Entertainment has been has been providing safe and entertaining psychic experiences for parties and social events in the Boston area and Northeast Corridor for several years. ClydeSight Productions managed the FLASH development and programming. Artist Felista Gallagher created the Dream Angel images, and neoclassical composer, Tim Thompson composed the soundtrack.

The Dream Angle Oracle is available as a direct download from two web sites: ClydeSight Productions (www. clydesight. com/DAO/ (http://www. clydesight. com/DAO/)) or Psychic View Points (www. psychicviewpoints/DAO/ (http://www. psychicviewpoints/DAO/)) It is a standalone FLASH projector. No plug-ins or Internet connection is required once the program is downloaded.

ClydeSight Productions are creators of inspiring and entertaining multimedia, music, e-books and websites.

Psychic View Points Entertainment provides psychic entertainment in the Boston area and the whole Northeast Corridor.

Beacon Street Girls Shred the Telluride Slopes in Freestyle with Avery

Beacon Street Girls Shred the Telluride Slopes in Freestyle with Avery

Freestyle with Avery, the newest Beacon Street Girls Special Adventure book, has everyone's favorite preteen athlete negotiating family changes, turning a shy boy into a new friend, and racing down snowy peaks -- with both feet strapped to a board. She also gets to meet real-life snowboarding champion and Olympic silver medalist, Lindsey Jacobellis.

Lexington, MA (PRWEB) October 23, 2007

Competition soars on the half-pipe when Beacon Street Girl Avery Madden travels to the scenic Telluride Ski Resort in Colorado to visit her father and compete in the first-ever "Snurfer" snowboarding contest. But it's not all fun and snowball games, especially when Avery meets top Snurfer contender Crazie Kazie, a local snowboarding prodigy. Wipeout! Kazie's also the daughter of Avery's dad's new girlfriend.

Freestyle with Avery, the newest Beacon Street Girls Special Adventure, has everyone's favorite preteen athlete negotiating family changes, turning a shy boy into a new friend, and racing down snowy peaks -- with both feet strapped to a board. She also gets to meet real-life snowboarding champion and Olympic silver medalist, Lindsey Jacobellis.

"I love Avery's snowboarding adventure and how it realistically addresses the hard work and dedication necessary to become a champion," said Jacobellis. "I think today's girls can accomplish anything and the Beacon Street Girls show them how it's done."

"The Beacon Street Girls Special Adventure books offers us the platform to show girls doing whatever they want to do and being whomever they want to be," said Addie Swartz, CEO of B*tween Productions, home of the Beacon Street Girls. "The BSG Special Adventures are also a chance for our tween readers to explore places they've never been."

When exuberant, out-going Avery leaves behind the rest of the Beacon Street Girls to go out West, she befriends the cutest (and shyest) boy in town. Meanwhile, she's battling Kazie for both the Snurfer Snowboarding title and what feels like her father's affection.

"A large percentage of divorced parents date and eventually remarry, a process that can have a significant impact on a child," says Swartz. "In this book, Avery's reaction to her father's new relationship includes jealousy, hurt and guilt -- responses typical for a tween girl in this situation."

Beacon Street Girls Special Adventure books focus on a special experience and help BSG fans get to know even more about the individual characters, one of five 12 year-old girls who star in the book series and website. Girls love to read about the "just like me" characters and parents appreciate the age-appropriate content with positive values.

Freestyle with Avery is available immediately wherever books are sold. ISBN: 978-1-933566-01-6 $7.99

Two Years in Business for Diane's Minimall

Two Years in Business for Diane's Minimall

Online variety store ShopToEarn. net/DianesPlace Celebrates the beginning of a third year in business, adding new products and opening a new informational blog.

Lantana, FL (PRWEB) September 18, 2008

When Diane Robinson opened www. ShopToEarn. net/DianesPlace (http://www. ShopToEarn. net/DianesPlace) in 2006, it was her goal to provide 'something for everyone'. Two years later she is celebrating the second anniversary of her store, and growing ever closer to providing a catalog of merchandise that appeals to all audiences.

"There are miscellaneous items for computers and electronics, and paper to print photos on -- everyone has a digital camera these days, and photo paper is well-used," says Diane, describing some of the items that can be found in her store as of the last year. "What I'm most excited about is our selection of diamond rings without a center stone; when I got married, I replaced my center stone, and it was much more beautiful. With these, you can buy a beautiful wedding ring and go out and choose your own stone to truly make it yours -- your own forever ring. It's such a great variety of items."

In recent history Diane has updated her catalog by using her family as her target market. "My daughter is an aerobics instructor, and she loves camo, so there are camo pants on the site," says Diane. "I found camo pants that are very comfortable and affordable. My husband and grandson play Playstation, and they love to race cars, so Gran Turismo IV is on there. There's also a bow saw in the catalog, which was my choice. I live in Florida, and I'm always looking for something lightweight to help trim our plants, as they grow very quickly and need to be pruned constantly. My bow saw is very handy, so I offer the same saw to my customers."

Of late, Diane has opened an informational blog at www. OnlineMallBlog. com to help provide her customers with information about her site and products as well as general news. "I try to focus on current events, what's going on in the world," she explains. "Sometimes people get sentimental and things will jog a memory for them, and it's always fun to hear how they used to do this or use something like this and it brought back a memory just seeing it again. I love to hear feedback and comments. I also provide information about new products, like our Inchloss body wraps, which I've posted about because I use them and they're a quality product. I'm trying to get some more health items on there, and I'm giving people information about them as I do."

Diane's overall goal has not changed, however -- to provide something for everyone on her site. "I am a massage therapist, and I am into health and comfort," she explains. "I don't believe we should live so uptight. We are put on this Earth, given a body, and we need to take care of that body and also relax. The suit and tie thing is restrictive, and while a lot of people get involved in that, life is much more than a suit and tie. Most of the things that I have or do or enjoy are not confined; they're a little bit more free and open. I'm just trying to pass that along through my store."

Diane encourages customers to visit www. OnlineMallBlog. com and exchange thoughts with her and others, and to visit ShopToEarn. net/DianesPlace to view new additions to the store.

Research and Markets (http://www. researchandmarkets. com/reports/c15687 (http://www. researchandmarkets. com/reports/c15687)) has announced the addition of Japan Server 2004-2008 Forecast Update and 1H04 Vendor Shares: 2004 Midyear Review to their offering.

This study analyzes the shipments of the Japanese server market in 1H04 (January-June) and forecasts the market size between 2004 and 2008. The factory revenue of the server market in 1H04 showed year-on-year decrease of 1.9% to 366.06 billion yen. Although this is the seventh straight decline, the growth rate is recovering after hitting the bottom in 1H03. The shipments grew by 15.0% to 243,439 units and achieved two-digit growth for two consecutive periods. The shipments showed year-on-year growth in all product segments.

"The server demand is clearly improving, and that the demand for replacement of RISC server and mainframe has recovered in 1H04. On the other hand, the decrease in the average selling value of x86 server accelerated. The x86 server market maintains healthy growth in terms of shipments, but its factory revenue was sluggish. Based on these factors, we revised the market forecast for 2004 upward. The server market in 2004 will show year-on-year decrease of 2.8% in factory revenue to 699.373 billion yen. The shipments are expected to increase by 14.1%," observes Masahiro Nakamura, research manager.

Smartphones to Account for 23% of All New Mobile Phones by 2013, as Application Stores Help Drive Demand, According to Juniper Research

Smartphones to Account for 23% of All New Mobile Phones by 2013, as Application Stores Help Drive Demand, According to Juniper Research

Rising demand for complex multimedia-centric applications is forcing handset manufacturers to design increasingly 'smart' and highly personalised mobile devices.

Hampshire, UK (PRWEB) March 9, 2009

Rising demand for complex multimedia-centric applications is forcing handset manufacturers to design increasingly 'smart' and highly personalised mobile devices.

A new smartphones report (http://www. juniperresearch. com/shop/viewreport. php? id=171) from Juniper Research forecasts that these so-called 'smartphones' will account for 23% of all new handsets sold per annum by 2013. Driving interest in smartphones will be the proliferation of online stores selling specialised applications that will make these devices better suited to individual users' needs.

Vendors Adopt Apps Store Model

The runaway success of Apple's App Store - reportedly 300 million applications were downloaded by iPhone users within five months of its launch - underscores the rapidity with which smartphones are being adopted by ordinary consumers, eager to build a complete multi-utility lifestyle tool rooted in the Web 2.0 culture. The App Store was not the first on the market, but its high visibility and ease of use has prompted players such as Nokia, RIM, and Google also to jump into the applications market.

According to report author Andrew Kitson: "As vendors increasingly open up the operating system software on their devices, so will the rate at which mobile handsets evolve into personalised Internet-centric mobile computers gather momentum. In this way, users are having an indirect impact on the way in which devices are changing their form and function as well as how they interact with their surroundings. Very soon, the majority of new phones will be smartphones."

Other findings include: 
 By 2013, annual smartphone sales will reach around 300 million  Sales of smartphones will remain healthy during the recession as fewer mid-range devices compete for buyers' attentions and pricing becomes more attractive, while consumers will come to believe that they will be getting more for their money by buying high-end devices  Device vendors are seeing falling margins on handset sales and need to diversify into service provision with high-value content from which they and their network operator partners can profit
