Gold Becomes Pricier Than Platinum, That's Rare And Scary

It’s more than “interesting” that platinum prices are lagging gold. Gold has risen nicely since the meltdown following Lehman’s collapse, with the gold price in dollars rising 130%. Until last summer, however, platinum had done better still.

Over the 34 months to August 2011, the white metal rose 150%, recovering faster at first even than the gold price. But it needed to, however, after it dropped two-thirds of its dollar price between March and December 2008.

Behind the meaning of Push Presents aka Baby Mama Presents

2011-07-15T13:27:00.000-07:00

Push Present aka "push gift" or "baby bauble" or for some people call it "baby mama" gift. It is a gift that a new parent/father gives to his wife in honor of giving birth to their child. It may be given before, after or even in delivery room. It's been growing in the United States.

History

According to Wikipedia:

The tradition of gift-giving to commemorate a birth has long roots in England and India. The term "push present' first appeared in a publication in 1992.

A recent survey of more than 30,000 respondents by BabyCenter.com found that 38 percent of new mothers received a gift from their mate in connection with their child. Among pregnant mothers, 55 percent wanted one. About 40 percent of both groups said the baby was ample reward.

2005 ~ Southeast-United States jewelry chain Mayors marketed diamond earrings with the line " She delivered your first born, now give her twins."

2007 ~ Fortunoff, a jewelry and gift chain store, established a push present registry in 2007.

Although there is no official evidence of push presents was invented by the jewelry industry to sell more.

Celebrities that got the presents:

Rachel Zoe has a beautiful baby boy. To celebrate, husband Rodger Berman gave her a "push present" in the form of a 10-carat diamond ring that cost $250,000.

Mariah Carey got a push present, too — a $12,000 pink diamond and sapphire necklace from husband Nick Cannon with the names of their twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

Limited edition Iridium Razor $100,000

2011-06-22T15:52:00.000-07:00

Would you pay $100,000 for a razor?

Introducing Zafirro Iridium

According to their website Zafirro.com

How do you inaugurate a new era of technology – not an incremental step forward, but a quantum leap: from vacuum tubes to transistors, CB radios to the iPhone? The introduction of the first razor with sapphire blades poses that challenge. The Zafirro Iridium is our answer. Utilizing expertise in fields as varied as rocket engine manufacturing, nanotechnology, and particle physics, the Zafirro Iridium combines some of the rarest, strongest, and most technically advanced materials in existence. The resulting combination of exotic materials pushes the boundaries of technology while creating an aesthetic that could be the centerpiece of a gallery collection.

Due to the rarity of the materials, and the expense associated with manufacturing, production of the Iridium line is extremely limited.

The handle of the razor is made entirely of iridium, an extremely scarce and expensive metal that is so dense it could survive a drop into molten lava. Most iridium that appears on Earth is the result of crashed meteorites. The blades of the beast are made from artificially grown sapphire, making them hypoallergenic, not to mention many orders of magnitude sharper than your average Bic. The company boasts a 10-year blade life, and backs it up with free sharpening for a decade if the razor ever dulls.

2011-06-10T10:45:00.000-07:00

Why Wedding Ring Should be placed on the fourth finger?

Please follow the step below (this is from a Chinese excerpt)

I.) First, show your palm, bend your center finger and put them together back to back

II.) Secondly, The rest 4 fingers tips to tips

III.) Game begins, follow the arrangement, 5 finger but only 1 pair can split

1.) Try to open your thumb, the thumb represent parents, it can be open cause all human does go thru sick and dead. Which is our parents will leave us one day

2.) Please close up your thumb, then open your second finger, the finger represent brothers and sisters, they do have their own family which is too they will leave us too

3.) Now close up your Second Finger, open up your little finer, this represent your children. Sooner or later they too will leave us for they got their own living to live.

4.) Nevertheless, close up your little finer, try to open your fourth finger which we put our wedding ring, you will be surprise to find that it cannot be open at all. Because it represent husband and wife, this whole life you will be attach to each other

Real love will stick together ever and forever

Thumb represent parents

Second finger represent brothers & sisters

Center finger represent own self

Fourth finger represent your partner

Last finger represent your children
