The blue diamond in this picture is estimated to bring about 15 million dollars when it goes on the auction block later this month. The diamond weighs in at about 10.95 carats and is extremely rare. The diamond is paired with a white diamond that is cut in the same shape. It will be sold by Christies at auction in New York on Oct. 20.
A Bonus
The work that I do requires that I do a lot of traveling. Since our main office is in Virginia and our next biggest office is in North Carolina, I do a lot of traveling between the two. I often have to meet clients and keep them entertained when we are done with our meetings. One great way I’ve found to do this is to take them golfing. There are many courses in the Myrtle Beach area.
It’s really worked out well so far. The only problem I had was ensuring that I would be able to secure the tee times I needed. That problem was solved for me when a friend of mine told me about a site called www.48hourteetimes.com. It is on this site that I am able to determine what times are available on which courses. This makes it easy to make plans on short notice.
I have met many clients and had good results with this tactic. I take them golfing and keep them entertained. It often works out that I end up with their business and that looks good with the big bosses upstairs. It’s all thanks to the ability to get 48 hour tee times. The other bonus is that I get to play quite a few rounds of golf and I have no problem with that!
My friend next door
I have a neighbor who just moved in next door. I gave him a hand moving in and we hit it off pretty good. I like him a lot and have been helping him when I can. We have a lot of similar interest. One thing he wanted to know was what the best TV provider he could get was. I told him about a site called www.localtv-satellite.com. I knew that it was here where he would find the information he needed to make the right choice.
I have been a user of cable TV for many years. I was basically happy with it until HD came out. I found that watching movies and sports in HD was much better. That’s why I decided to quit cable and go to satellite. They have many more channels in HD than anyone else. I also like local channels. I know that local tv satellite can provide for all my local channel needs.
My neighbor was thankful for the advice. He went to localtv-satellite.com and found what he was looking for. I knew that he would enjoy having the same great TV watching experience as I have. I also knew that he would save a lot of money by going this route. It’s a great feeling when you can help a neighbor!
Girls and Games
The invention of the internet is one of the most important of our lifetimes. It allows us to access all kinds of information in just a few clicks. It helps us do our jobs, do our schoolwork, and look up every subject under the sun. It also plays another important role; it allows us to play games. My daughter loves that part and the games she likes the best are called virtual girl games. When I questioned her about it, she explained them to me.
She told me that many of the girls at her school play these games all the time. Virtual girl games are typically about subjects that interest girls. They consist of games that allow the player to dress up their character or change their hair style. Other games are about cooking or celebrities. The games are becoming very popular with the girls.
I think it’s good that girls have the chance to play games that interest them. There are many bad things on the internet and I like the fact that virtual girl games allow them to express themselves in a good clean manner. It pleases me that I don’t have to watch everything my daughter does when she is on the computer. I am sure that those of you with daughters will consider introducing them to these types of games.
What to do??
Moving can be very difficult. There are so many things to do and so little time to do them in. Some decisions are easy, but others may take some consideration. When my daughter and her family recently moved to a new location, she and her husband had to decide what kind of television service they wanted for their new home. They knew there were many options available and they wanted to consider them all.
They were considering getting a satellite dish and using a service such as can be found on a site called http://www.blogtelevision.net. They knew that they would get a wide selection of channels to choose from. The only problem they had was that they were not sure they wanted a satellite dish on their home. They are a little particular about how their house looks from the street. They continued to check out other options before making a final decision.
After checking online for other services, they found that they may be able to use a cable company to provide the service. Two of the most likely candidates were cox.com and timewarnercable.com. Either one of these companies would be able to provide the service they needed. The good thing is that they had plenty of time to decide what they wanted to do. The kids also wanted to put their two cents in as they would be watching the TV the most. Mary likes to watch movies while John likes sports the best. I guess the family will all come together and make their decision. Then, they will probably have to make many more.
Every now and then
Every now and then it’s good when you can combine two of your favorite things into one. I recently had the chance to do just that when I got to travel and play golf. My family and I had decided it was time for a vacation and we all agreed that a Myrtle Beach hotel was where we wanted to go. We all like the area and the beach is always enticing to us.
In order to ensure that our trip would go smoothly, I decided to find out all the information I could about our destination. I found a site called http://www.grandeshores.com that provided the info I was looking for. It was there that I found out about the Myrtle Beach vacation deals that were available. It was easy to see why the place is so popular. There are so many things to see and do.
My wife likes the fact that she can lay on the beach and work on her tan. Sometimes she catches up on her reading or listens to the radio. The kids love getting in the sand and playing games with all the other kids there. As for myself, I can be found on one of the many golf courses that are in the surrounding area. All in all, the whole family has fun and I am glad to know that we can always come back next year.
Conan
Anyone who knows anything about fantasy art knows that Frank Frazetta was a leader in the field. The illustrator did hundreds of illustrations that were printed on album covers, comic books, and posters. Sadly, the artist died two months ago in Pennsylvania. This picture of “Conan the Destroyer” recently sold for $1.5 million dollars.
Experience
The TV in our living room always seems to draw everyone together. Nearly every night, my family ends up watching some show or another. We enjoy spending this time with each other doing something that interests us all. That’s why it’s so important that our TV service is the best it can be. We used to rely on our cable service, but that’s all in the past since we discovered Dish Network. Things are so much better now.
Now we are so much happier that nearly all of our channels come in HD. The kids like to watch all the newest movies in HD as well as other shows. Our old cable service simply couldn’t provide this option. Ever since we switched over, we have all been satisfied. One thing I particularly like is the fact that there are so many sports channels to choose from. I can watch nearly every game in any sport I want. I can also take advantage of one of the many packages such as NFL Sunday Ticket or Sports Pack.
Another thing that is important to us is having the ability to watch all of our favorite local channels. My wife enjoys the large selection of local channels that are available. The story of how this option came to be is interesting and can be found in the TV service guide. I would check it out if you have the time, it’s really interesting. All in all, our TV watching experience has vastly improved since we found a new provider. It would be nice if everyone could enjoy their TV as much as we do ours.
Traveling Man
There are many good aspects to the job I have. One of the best things I get to do is travel. It seems that no matter how many trips I take, there is always another one on the horizon. One of my favorite places to visit is the town of Boston. I love the nightlife and the accents of the people. I also like to enrich my life by visiting their highly cultural entertainment venues.
The last time I visited, I was fortunate enough to purchase some hard to find WANG THEATRE TICKETS. I went to the wonderfully restored building and had the time of my life. That wasn’t the end of my good fortune. The very next day a friend of mine gave me some BOSTON OPERA HOUSE TICKETS. I saw a show called the “Nutcracker” and enjoyed it very much.
Another place that I like to go to when I can is Canada. It’s a great country to visit as it has so much to offer. It’s has all the scenery you could want and some of the best cities around. I was lucky to enough to score some Air Canada Centre Tickets and saw a pretty good hockey game. I love that sport and it was everything I imagined it would be. I not sure where my next trip will be, but I hope it goes as good as my last ones!
Dogs gone wild
Every now and then you hear a story that is just odd. I heard one today that describes the troubles of a will, three dogs, and a son. It seems that Ms. Posner had died in March. She was very rich and had an 8.3 million dollar mansion. She also had three dogs that were spoiled to the extreme point. When she died, she left the money for the care of the dogs and gave her son only 1 million dollars.
As may be assumed, the son is suing in court to gain control of the money he feels is rightfully his. The outcome of the case has yet to be determined, but many believe that the son will win out in the end and the dogs will be in the doghouse!!
