ADVISORY...for Wednesday-Thursday (April 5-6)

--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)

WHAT:             With a little help from Jay Leno (re-runs) and a
                  recliner featuring a technological breakthrough that
                  will forever change the way we sit, aspiring
                  Olympian couch potato, Chris Canole, will usher in
                  the future of furniture as he attempts to set a
                  world record for 99 hours of continuous TV watching.
                  Canole, who set a Guinness World Record 20 years ago
                  for holding the longest conversation (99 hours),
                  will spend 5 days in Lane's new recliner featuring
                  Human Touch Technology(TM).

SIGNIFICANCE:     Global Leaders Merge to Offer Interactive Furniture

                  While the laid-back Canole "loads out" in a faux
                  family room at one of Southern California's largest
                  entertainment complexes, Type A corporate execs from
                  Interactive Health, the company that spent 20 years
                  developing the robotic massage(TM) technology, and
                  Lane Furniture will convene in High Point, N.C. The
                  North Carolina news conference and California event
                  kick-off will broadcast simultaneously via satellite
                  to usher in the future of interactive furniture, the
                  future of massage.

                  Through a groundbreaking bi-coastal partnership
                  between the worldwide leader in massage products and
                  one of the largest furniture manufacturers in the
                  nation, Human Touch Technology(TM) will be
                  incorporated into Lane recliners and rockers to
                  offer consumers the best of both worlds and redefine
                  "the best seat in the house."
