I need an explanation: I have seen people driving Hyundai Genesis with a Bentley sign?

answerss91

I'm extremely confused and I know for a fact that it wasn't the same car that I kept seeing cause I saw it in different colors.

Answer
i believe the Genesis was being considered as the first car in a Hyundai "luxury" brand, such as Toyota has Lexus and Nissan has Infiniti. this was most likely going to be its emblem or logo. instead they are selling the car as a Hyundai after determining the cost of launching a luxury brand would be too much money and may have confused customers. but this way the car raises the image of Hyundai all around and i guess the logo sort of stuck

next up for Hyundai in the luxury car segment is this, and its quite impressive

Has our "pop culture" society gone too far?

imnoangel5

We care more about the lives of celebraties than our own neighbors. If the media tells us to buy this dress, eat this food, vote for this person we usually do it because we are so brainwashed by the tv and can't go a day without turning it on.

I bet 80% of american households have at least 1 tv, 65% have at least 2 and 45% have 3 or more.

I myself have been been guilty of this on a few occasions and my hosehold is in that 45% catagory.

What about you?

Also, do you think we have allowed the media, hollywood and even the fashion industry have too much control over some of our choices?

Answer
Absolutely and really, it all comes down to marketing and advertising. Our entire lives are filled with commercials, whether we're aware of it or not. We are a materialistic culture and we equate happiness with products because marketing emphasizes how a product can make you feel as opposed to its function.

Most products when you break them down, are essentially the same as far as function. But the advertising makes you feel that X brand is better than Y brand and therefore will make you happier. I limit my tv watching to 3 or 4 hours a week and I've tried to debrand my life. I try to be mindful of my purchases between the essentials (like food) and the luxuries (like ipods) and I rarely spend money on the luxuries. And what I choose to buy with the essentials comes down to price and function over brand name recognition. But it's hard to deprogram yourself and I can see why people would rather live a comfortable McLife.

what are some luxury watches for men?

Zyzz

i usually get nixon watches or bulova watches. what watch companies have luxury watches but still under like 700 dollars?

Answer
Luxury watches are usually considered to be costlier than $700. I recently finished writing the 5th edition of my book about "The Costliest Watch Brands". The costliest brand overall now is Richard Mille whose cheapest watch, a basic steel sports watch, costs $70,000. His costliest now is a $660,000 tourbillon. The 2nd costliest brand is Patek Philippe that begins at $25,400 for a basic steel sports watch. Costliest now is a minute repeater-tourbillon-perpetual calendar that isn't priced but probably costs nearly a million bucks. Also in the 20 Costliest Brands are Roger Dubuis, F.P. Journe, Greubel Forsey, Franck Muller (whose $2,666,700 "Aeternitas Mega 4" is the most complicated wristwatch ever made with 1483 parts), A. Lange & Sohne, Concord, Jacob & Co., Parmigiani, Harry Winston, Vacheron Constantin, Piaget, Audemars Piguet, etc.
In recent watch magazines and almanacs, I see these brands have mechanical watches priced $449 to $700: BWC-Swiss, Deep Blue, Nivrel, Stowa, Tissot and Vostok.
More common in the price range you want are quartz watches priced $349 to $700 by Alfex, Boccia, Botta, Chronotech, Citizen, Ernest Borel, ESQ, Gc, Haemmer, Issey Miyake, Links, Luminox, Movado, Ocean 7, Pierre Junod, Reactor, Sector, Seiko, Swiss Military, Tissot, Victorinix, Vuarnet, Wenger and YES.
I've owned watches by Citizen, Movado, Sector, Seiko and Tissot, and I can testify that they are good. (I also own watches by Patek Philippe [1893, 1926 and 1995 models], Vacheron Constantin [1902, 1933 and 1994 models] and Piaget [1953 and 1979 models] that are great.)
EDIT- Shiraishi and Carlos listed some brands that cost more than the $700 maximum you want!
Epos, $1350 to $2550
Omega, $4400 to $35,200
TAG Heuer, $2700 to $9500 for sure and some not priced surely cost even more
Union, $1995 to $4795

What is a good type of luxury watch for around $100?

Afterbiolo

I'm looking for a stylish-manly-defined vintage wristwatch (up to 1970s) that I can buy for around $100. I've been looking at Omega Seamasters for a while, and I really like some of them (are Omega watches all different?)
Here are a couple of the ones I really like:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-VINTAGE-OMEGA-PRE-SEAMASTER-SUB-SEC-1959-/200704525673?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item2ebaec0569&autorefresh=true#ht_729wt_1139

http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-LARGE-OMEGA-SEAMASTER-BUMPER-AUTO-CAL354-ORIGINAL-DIAL-STEEL-WATCH-/270904170937?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3f132599b9&autorefresh=true#ht_7621wt_1003

Doesn't necessarily have to be black inside... but I like the gold.

Is it possible to find this type of watch for in my price range?

I wish I knew more about watches but I don't.
I don't really mean luxury, I mean classy. I prefer a watch with less complications, and simplistic cylindrical design. In addition, I could see spending up to $250.
I am 16, so don't be surprised that I don't have enough to buy a Patek.
I tried my best to find two watches that fit my taste, and I am asking if there are any non-knock off watches in this price range.

Answer
You have champagne taste but a beer budget. Don't feel alone. Tons of people suffer from the same thing. You won't find a luxury man's watch like Omega or Rolex for only $100, even a vintage used one.

One of the most well made and accurate watches is Seiko. There are several on ebay that sell for $100 or less on a 'Buy It Now' basis. Another option is to get the least expensive watch with a stainless steel case and band (since any gold finish will quickly wear off) that has the face you like.

The last option is to get a Skagen if what you want is an extremely elegant and thin watch that runs well and is unique. They are made in Norway but sold in the U.S. My bf has one and it is super thin and gorgeous with a stainless case and band. That is what I'd recommend. Good luck!! : }

How is Hamilton Jazzmaster ranked as a luxury watch?

HTR

compare to Tissot,Raymond Weil,Movado?

Answer
It's adequate, I'm sure, but it's not a "luxury" watch in the hand-made, absolutely perfect-quality sense.

A very quick introduction to watches:

Watch lovers love mechanical watches. Mechanical watches are anachronistic; quartz watches are much more accurate and much less expensive. Good mechanical watches can cost tens of thousands of dollars but are intended to last decades or longer. Patek Philippe, Rolex, and others make watches at this level.

Most people do not want such an expensive watch, and watches in the $30+ range are accurate and reliable. (Timex makes watches at this level.)

For a bit more, you can choose a watch with better finishing details and have more options (style-wise). If you're willing to spend up to $200 or so you can choose from innumerable styles of quartz watches that will be well-made and reliable. Watches at this level will be steel and, if you wish, gold-plated. Seiko and many others, including Hamilton, make watches at this level.

(In between extremely good mechanical watches and $200 watches are quartz watches made by serious watch companies that also make mechanical watches. These watches often are made of gold so they cost quite a bit more than $200, and their finishing detail is usually very well done. Watches in this range might cost from $1,200 to $15,000+. Baume et Mercier and many others make watches at this level.)

What happen to the website luxury.com for louis vuitton purses?

k bell

I am trying to find authentic louis vuitton for a resonable price. I watched a video that said luxury.com was the only website authorized by Louis Vuitton to sale real Louis. I need a real Artsy GM Louis Vuitton at a ot so crazy price! Any ideas?

Answer
I think you're linking of eLUXURY.com. The website shut down because it was owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), the holding company that houses luxe brands like Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, etc.

Essentially, when Louis Vuitton opened their e-commerce store recently (in 2009, I believe?), E-Lux shut down because though they sold different brands, their most popular brand was Louis Vuitton. At the time when eLUX was still operating, they were the only reputable website to purchase LV goods without the risk of purchasing fake. Since they've closed down, the only website to purchase authentic LV products without the risk of getting a fake is Louisvuitton.com.

eLUX never sold LV products at a discount, and neither does louisvuitton.com. You're best bet to find one at a somewhat discounted price is E-bay, though you risk buying a fake, even though the seller might seem reputable. Also, even real, already used Louis Vuitton bags don't sell for much below the retail value unless there is noticeable damage to the bag.

Beware of purchasing from any other website other than Louisvuitton.com or E-Bay. Literally almost all other websites that claim to sell authentic bags are fraudulent. There are plenty of articles online you can research on this. Don't be had. Your chances of getting an authentic $2000 bag for $1000 or less are pretty much unheard of.

I know that the Artsy GM is gorgeous, but how about a similar, more affordable bag like the Neverfull MM or Delightful Monogram MM? Both are about half the price of the Artsy.

Honestly, if you can, you're better off purchasing from the Louis Vuitton website or a Louis Vuitton boutique. That way you'll have peace of mind knowing your bag is new and 100% authentic. I'd recommend going into a boutique if you can. that way to get the full experience. Hope I helped & good luck with your search!

Does anyone here watch House Hunters?

Save the w

I love looking at all the different houses people look at first off. But second, does anyone notice how ridiculously picky and stuck up the people sound? For example everyone wants stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, granite countertops. I mean those things might be what you like and that's fine...but these people won't buy a house that doesn't have it.

Most of the people on this show are just starting out and buying starter homes. My first home didn't have half of what we wanted, but as we advanced further in our careers and our family grew we were able to move up.

It's just absurd to me.

Not to mention I think when a house has all of those things it just looks so cookie-cutter. I like houses with character I guess.

What do you all think? (Sorry about my little rant!)

Answer
Yes, I watch the U.S. one more than International HH. I wonder how these people get so much money to buy a "holiday home" in another country and how they can live there if they dont speak another language.

I see what you mean about the requests especially from the young couples, they are so demanding, and must have granite counters and walk in closets, and what is this man-cave they always mention?

They must all be very spoiled. How do young couples get so much money for a down payment, or if not, how can they afford a $2000 mortgage payment?

Young couples should start off with a basic house and move up if they earn more money. They seem to feel entitled to all the luxuries without working a long time for them.

I completely agree that they are asking for the moon and their attitudes are very demanding.

I liked the style of the watches and the prices were all under $600, with a much more expensive and exquisite look. My question is are they worth it? Would it be much different to spend 3-$400 more for a different brand?Im not necessarily looking for a diamond watch but i tried this one on and i really liked the look.

I've heard of Zenith and other swiss luxury watch brands like Cartier, Omega, IWC and Rolex and just wonder if anyone knows where I can get the best discount / deals on luxury swiss watches.

Budget is 7-15k - I know - she is really spoilt - but I do really, really love her!

Hey thanks in advance everyone!

You can not because almost all of the watch sites are scams. Nearly all the answers will be SPAM that direct you to Chinese sites where they are selling fake or just stealing credit card numbers. You will have to go to a real store to not get scammed.

For example: www.bestinluxurywatches.com If you go to the link below you will see that all the information on the site is blocked. Why? Only a scam site would do that.

http://whois.domaintools.com/bestinluxurywatches.com

www.mensluxurtywatchesz.com has its info blocked as well.

This is a legit site. It has a USA address, and contact info:

Golf Swing - Is it best to see video and learn ORRRR by posts/reviews/forum?

Rohan BS

Hi All
I will be honest, I recently developed passion for Golf.. very beginner golfer.. How many of you (both beginner and pro golfer) think that watching video is better than any other means of learning the game??? I strongly believe videos.. but i wanted to know your opinion... Help me

Thanks
RBS Desai

Answer
I believe a lesson (well, lessons...) with a pro is the best, but I also know that not everyone has that luxury. That's life. If that's the case, recording your swing and asking people at places like Y!A and golf forums to review it can help. Something is always better than nothing.

If you get the V1 software (available for desktop, iPhone and Android) or some other recording software, you can take that video and either upload it to V1's instructors (you're on a wait period if you use the free version... at least for the desktop) or to either "School of Golf" or "The Golf Fix", both airing on The Golf Channel. I can't guarantee you'll get a response from them, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Did the Industrial Revolution destroy our society?

Jess

I am watching "The Men Who Built America" and IMO I think it ruined our society. The working conditions were absolutely terrible and workers barely got paid anything. They could barely feed their kids. You have these evil men who built these companies and they lived in a lap of luxury while their employees inhaled massive amounts of smog from steal mills. It did in fact "revolutionize" our society into the way it is today but in a bad way. All these big shots today only care about profits, consumerism, and mass production. They care less about their slaving employees. Yes we have Unions now but they aren't very relavent considering how many laws are in place now. I appreciate them for fighting for workers back then (and helped put those laws in place) but there is not much they can do now. We now live in a world where you stand in a factory for 12 hours doing back breaking labor and for what? To watch your family's structure go down the toilet? Before the Industrial revolution life was simple. Yeah you still worked long hours but it was on a farm. You were your own boss and you got to feed yourself and sell your produce to others for money. Family structure was stong because a father and son got to bond while doing their work. It was the pinnacle of masculinity. Now the fathers have to be gone all day and not able mentor their kids. That is why there is so many miguided boys today who basically get left to the media to tell them how to be a man.... which usually turns out to be either a steryle "nice" boy, or grow up to be abusive. Man we live in a messed up world now.

Answer
I absolutely agree with you. Human beings were not meant to stand on their feet all day, doing monotonous and highly dangerous work on auto assembly lines or in other factories. People still get seriously injured and killed in those jobs but we never hear about them. And how sad is it that we even need labor unions to protect us from unscrupulous, evil, greedy, miserable, rotten, overpaid CEOs in the first place!
Office work is the same bullshit, but the stress is on your soul and your humanity. Who cares if this report isn't typed properly or you forgot to fill out this page, or you didn't make your sales quota? You're right, in the days of family farms none of that existed and we did just fine. Technology has done great things for us, including making us healthier, improved sanitation, standardized manufacturing processes so the products we buy are safe and effective. But, It also turned us into over-scheduled, over-bureaucratized, subservient little boys and girls who are afraid of being downsized or just plain fired for no good reason.
I wish we could go back to a simpler time when family was all you needed and you respected and depended upon each other. We don't need iPhones, iPads, tech support, none of that crap.

Where should I buy a pool table?

Kurt

Let me give you a little background. I'm in a fraternity on campus at my college, and we have just acquired a fraternity house for the first time. 30 guys will be living there. The house is very clean and spacious, and we intend to keep it that way. We want to add a little comfort and luxury to the house, and would like to purchase a pool/billiards table.

I'm looking for suggestions as to where we should buy this pool table. We have a few conditions.

New/Used: Because there will be a lot of use in this table, and it will go for quite a few generations of brothers, we might prefer new, with a warranty. Unless there is really good-conditioned tables for much cheaper, then we'll do what's practical. But it would be nice to have a new one in there for the new house.
Price: As low as possible, for a nice table, but we'd be willing to spend up to about $2200.00
Shipping: Preferably free shipping but we can work out the numbers later.
Installation: All the guys living there could certainly put one together given proper directions and instruction, but I believe most companies send their people out to install and assemble the pool table. This is fine but I don't want to have to add $500 onto the cost for installation if at all avoidable.

Have you purchased a pool table? Where did you buy it? Online, or a store? If online, which website? Warranties, shipping, and assembly? Is it worth getting one new? Cues and balls included?

Thank you for any information you can give.

Answer
Do NOT buy a pool table online.

I don't care how nice they look in pictures, you have no idea what you're getting if you're not familiar with the particular brand you want. 99% of what they sell online is complete junk anyway, so it's hardly worth even looking.

Watch the local newspaper for sale ads for local table dealers, often times you can find very good sales, especially on floor models. You may be able to find an excellent valued table in your price range if you're patient.

New vs Used: If you have a keen eye, you can get a great deal on a used table. If you don't know what you're looking at, stick with major name brands (Brunswick, Olhausen, Connelly, etc) and just look for very low prices.

The biggest drawback to buying used is that you're almost always going to pay more than you think. You'll almost certainly need to replace the cloth, and if it's more than a few years old, will probably want to replace the cushions as well (if you want it to play like it's supposed to). You will probably need to rent a U-Haul to move it unless one of your brothers drives an F350 or has a flatbed trailer. So tack on at least a few hundred dollars to list price and compare it to a new table, you might not be getting a very good deal used if you're not careful.

Putting a table together is not as easy as it seems. Man power is no replacement for know-how. It might take you a week to put it together instead of a day, and even then it might not play correctly. Now, if budget constraints demand that you put it together yourself, then that's certainly what I would do, but the money you're going to spend is well worth it IMO.

You will have to pay a decent amount of money to have it delivered and set up. $500 seems a little much, but $200-$300 should be budgeted for delivery and setup of a new table. Some places will have "free delivery and setup" sales, so watch for that if you want to save some money.

Balls and cues may or may not be included with the table. Brick and mortar stores will almost always wheel and deal and either give you these for free or have a cheap set you can buy. Obviously, these types of sets are substandard for serious players, but let the next guy who's a serious player buy himself a set of Aramith Super Pros and if anyone wants a better cue, they can buy their own. Chances are the ones hanging on the wall at your frat house will get beat to he11 regardless of their quality.

Before you do anything, go to a table store and talk to a salesperson about what to look for in a good table. If you buy new, you should lean towards name brands, but there are certainly some good quality local companies that may allow you to save a lot of money. You may be able to get a solid wood table with 1" slate for the same price as a name brand table with veneered woods and 3/4" slate. My only warning about dealing with the salesperson is to try and avoid getting talked into too many unnecessary "upgrades." Simonis cloth and Artemis cushions are nice, but pricer and probably not worth the added expense when 90% of the players are not serious and won't care that much, and given that a pool table in a frat house is going to get excessive use compared to a home table.

What type of desktop is the best for gaming? I'm looking for something under $1,500. The three i think o f as the best are Mac, Dell, and Gateway....if anyone can give me details on qwhgich is actually better for gaming that would be great.

Answer
$1500? Dude, buy your OWN hardware. In fact, I'll pick stuff out FOR YOU! Like on those "design on a dime" shows. After you get it, let's say from Amazon for example, bring it to Best Buy and have the Geek Squad throw it together. It's only like $90 more, AND all of their labor is warranteed, so if anything breaks, you're covered. It's like buying a "DarkWolf99" Brand computer. Here's more or less what I have...though I may have to drop some stuff to keep it under the price range:

Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz: $330
eVGA 680i SLI Motherboard: $240
512MB ATI Radeon dual-DVI support graphics card: $160
3GB RAM: $250
250GB Harddrive: $120
Case: $50
Creative Soundcard: $50
Windows Vista Ultimate: $370
TV Tuner Card: $60
CD/DVD Drive: $50
Labor: $90

Total: $1770

If you got Vista Home Premium instead of Ultimate, it would be $1600.

You could have the absolute sickest computer on God's green Earth for $1600, including labor and warranty. A Core 2 Duo with 3GB of RAM and a 512MB ATI card? Holy Christ. I'm sitting on mine right friggin' now, and it is ridiculous. I could launch the god-damn Space Shuttle from my computer.

You probably already have a display. I would recommend getting a second one to extend your desktop. It's a really great luxury, especially for watching TV on Media Center while doing other stuff (I'm watching the Planet Earth specials I recorded last night while writing this).

Will Obama's rockstar power be enough to save taxpayer bank cheat Giannoulias from losing his old senate seat?

Obamaâs Thursday afternoon campaign event for Giannoulias, the beleaguered state treasurer of Illinois, reportedly raked in $1 million. Lagging behind his GOP opponent, liberal Republican Rep. Mark Kirk, Giannoulias has coveted one-on-one, grip-and-grin time with Obama for months. In addition to the cash, photo-ops and video of the Obama fundraising event that Giannoulias will milk from now until Election Day, the White House has dispatched Vice President Joe Biden, White House senior adviser David Axelrod and White House campaign management guru David Plouffe to boost Giannouliasâ bid. Plouffe proclaimed Democrats âall inâ for Giannoulias, whom he described as âa great progressive champion.â

Obama gave his own personal seal of ethical approval, telling deep-pocketed donors this week: âI appreciate his strong sense of advocacy for ordinary Americans. You can trust him â you can count on him.â Uh-huh. And Iâve got a bridge to Hope and Change to sell you.

.

What would Giannoulias know about âordinary Americansâ? Giannoulias, 34, befriended Obama during pickup basketball games with an elite group that also included Michelle Obamaâs brother, Craig; Chicago edu-crat Arne Duncan (now Education Secretary); and hedge fund manager John Rogers (the ex-husband of the Obamasâ ex-White House social secretary, Desiree Rogers). He spread his wealth and influence around early and often to support Obamaâs fledgling political career. He pitched in $7,000 in 2003-2004 to Obamaâs Illinois State Senate bids. He hosted fundraisers for Obamaâs U.S. Senate campaign in 2004 and for his presidential campaign in 2007.

Whereâd the cash come from? Giannouliasâ Greek immigrant family founded Chicago-based Broadway Bank, a now-defunct financial institution that loaned tens of millions of dollars to convicted mafia felons and faced bankruptcy after decades of engaging in risky, high-flying behavior. Itâs the place where Obama parked his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign funds. And itâs the same place where a mutual friend of Obama and Giannoulias â convicted Obama fundraiser/slum lord Tony Rezko â used to bounce nearly $500,000 in bad checks written to Las Vegas casinos. This week, the Chicago Sun-Times revealed an additional $22.75 million Broadway Bank loan to a Rezko-owned business in 2006. Giannoulias held an ownership stake in the bank at the time.

Giannoulias served as Broadway Bank vice president and senior loan officer for four years. According to the Chicago Tribune, during Giannouliasâ tenure, some $27 million of Broadway Bankâs funny money went to mob crooks Michael âJawsâ Giorango and Demitri Stavropoulos. Giorango is a hustler who fronted a nationwide prostitution ring and was sentenced to six months in prison; Stavropoulos is behind bars for operating a multistate bookmaking ring. Giorango ran the $400-an-hour call girl operation out of high-rise luxury apartments in Chicago with the infamous âGold Coast Madam,â Rose Laws. Giorango and Stavropoulos used their Broadway Bank loans to start their own risky lending business for nontraditional borrowers unable to secure traditional bank financing.

Despite Giorangoâs criminal record exposed by the Tribune in 2004, Broadway Bank approved massive mortgages for him. Giannouliasâ brother, Demetris, explained that as a ârelationship bank,â Broadway wouldnât just throw someone under the bus because of a âbad article.â Instead, the bank went ahead and rubber-stamped a September 2005 loan for $3.4 million to buy a 32-unit Los Angeles apartment complex. The application falsely stated that the borrower, Giorango, had ânot been convicted of a felony.â Giannoulias oversaw the servicing of such shady loans totaling $11 million. Remember: He was no low-level staffer. He was, as he reminded supporters when he needed to deflect attention away from his youth, top management at Broadway Bank.

In January 2010, the bank entered a consent decree with federal and Illinois state regulators. It required Broadway Bank âto raise tens of millions in capital, stop paying dividends to the family without regulatory approval, and hire an outside party to evaluate the bankâs senior management.â The cityâs former inspector general blasted Giannoulias and his family for tapping $70 million worth of dividends in 2007 and 2008 as the real estate crash loomed. Broadway Bank was sitting on an estimated $250 million in bad loans. In late April, federal regulators shut it down. Cost to taxpayers: an estimated $390 million. Giannoulias refused to drop out of the race â and instead used the company failure to argue that it made him more qualified to serve in office: âI have a renewed vigor and a new perspective on just how horrible it is out there for so many people.â

Helena

Here's the watch I want: http://instagr.am/p/JFz_VYL_XK/

I've tried looking at my local Target, and the place where they sell watches there were only a few left and I've also tried looking online for one!

If y'all know where I can find one similar of the same color, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Or if y'all look on the website and find it, that'd be also wonderful.

Thanks!

What should I do about my unbelievably white skin?

omnomnom

I am half-Greek. I have very dark features, for example, my hair and my eyes are both very dark. However, on my dad's side I am white, and I have inherited his very, very white skin color. You can imagine the stark contrast between my dark features and white skin. In California, where I live, I stand out, which is something I do not want. Where I live, everyone is tan and wears shorts. People go swimming almost everyday except when it rains. I wish I could wear shorts but my legs are so white it looks silly and people often tease me, so I always wear long pants, and sweaters too to cover my arms. I wish I could be tan, but I turn red in the sun. My mom won't let me get a spray tan, and besides I don't have money for that. What can I do?

Answer
You need to watch: Mirror, Mirror, with Julia Roberts and Lily Collins as Snow White.

Many people envy complexion such as yours. If you go to Asia, India, Africa, where dark skin is the majority, people would treat you like a Goddess.

Tanning, is a result for 'damaged skin' and no products can reverse you from skin cancer or damaged skin, may prevent you from pre-mature aging, but that's part of the billion dollar beauty industry.
A new study conducted by the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Dermatology has found that tanning bed exposure can be dangerous when tanners self-diagnose skin problems and use the radiation to treat skin eruptions. The study specifically found that a tanning bed user that used the radiation to treat a mild skin rash caused by an ibuprofen allergy developed a much more severe reaction called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). When left untreated, TEN can be fatal.
Melanoma is the leading cause of death from skin disease. An estimated 76,259 new cases of skin cancer will be reported particularly among women in their 20's & 30's, and that's 6,020 more than 2011, people died from the disease, according to the National Cancer Institute. Two million people are diagnosed with skin cancer in the US each year, according to the EPA's Sun-Wise Program. That's more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancer cases combine!
Mom died of Paget Cancer and has bullous pemphegoid, skin disorder, and I'm a cancer awareness advocate.
Lotions does not protect you from nasty, painful burns. Lotions does not protect you from skin cancer. Lotions does not protect you from skin diseases. Lotions does not protect you from discolorations - permanently. And lotions does not protect you from skin tags, freckles, moles, they will only get larger, darker, and bumpier as they are exposed from UV.

To get the level of SPF you see on the label, you have to spread the lotion on like a layer of vanilla frosting; that's the thickness used in Food & Drug Administration tests. "So your SPF 30 is really a 10." says Steven Q Wang, M.D. director of dermatologic surgery and dermatology @ Memorial Sloan-Ketterng Cancer Center in Basking Ridge, NJ and author of Beating Melanoma. So don't skim: Frost that cupcake!"

I came from a vacay in Ireland, and many of the people there working in the profession (luxury hotels and banks, etc.) have beautiful white complexion!

I've been protecting myself from the sun since age 9, but no matter, I got Discoid Lupus. Google that one. It was like someone punched my chin and it gave a purplish mark. It took 12 years for that to fade, so now I'm using a wide brim hat or umbrella for protection. Gene Simmons & Shannon both have been seen hold an umbrella during an event. They were invented before beauty products, for a reason. Google also Bullous Pemphegoid, photos, another skin disorder. If I were you, I'd continue protecting myself from the sun. You're mom is a smart woman!

Take the Skin Picture Quiz - Identify These Common Skin Conditions on MedicineNet.

SELF-TANNERS: "I've had many patients who think these products somehow offer UV protection or that they give them a 'base tan' so they won't burn," says Dr. Hale, a NYC M.D., dermatologist and vice chair of the Skin Cancer Foundation. "'If I have skin cancer, you'll just remove it, and I'll be OK'. But the color that self-tanners create on your skin is completely artificial. But a lot of young women use these products so they don't look pale when they go to the beach to tan." 86% of women surveyed who use self-tanners reported they'd also baked in the sun, and 36% admitted they'd also used tanning beds (a leading cause of melanoma!) at least once in the past year. Australian study confirms that sunless tanning likely did not reduce the amount of UV exposure women get.

Luxury Watches For Children ?

Q. My son Nelson is 13 years old. I want to buy him a nice watch. Preferably a status symbol such as a Rolex or an Omega. We do have the money so the financial issues are of no problem. The only thing I am wondering is it appropriate for a child his age to own a luxury watch. I have seen most of his friends watches and they are mostly swatches or toy-watches. In my personal opinion a children's watch should not just be plastic it can have precious metals such as gold, white gold or even platinum. If I could also have children answer that would also be great.

Answer
Most kids don't have things like that because they will get broken or stolen. 13 is a little young for something like a Rolex. Even if he is responsible, that doesn't mean his friends will be. This is more like a 16-18 year old present or a going away to college kind of gift. You could get it and save it for him. Meanwhile, get him a watch that is pretty regular and see how it survives, plus, most kids use their cell phones to check the time, not watches. So maybe get him an iPhone or a Droid x instead. He'll probably enjoy it better.

What's the best luxury watch to own as an investment?

motka

Really looking for a good lux watch at the 3k to 6k price range. I want to enjoy my investment but at the same time same time see the value go up. I know the general rules, watch will go down in value as soon as you walk out door, buy iconic vintage etc. Any watch investor that can give me some good leads? I particularly like Rolex, Omega, Montblanc and IWC.

Answer
If you enjoy a high quality watch then go ahead to buy one- but don't ever count on anything like this as an investment.

Have you ever watched Antique Roadshow? They often talk about how a certain artist or style of antique used to be very expensive and then fell out of favor and went way down in value. A lot of them go up a lot more than down- but they make clear that you never know. And since few young people have ever worn a watch- and I am 58 and quit wearing a watch myself more than 10 years ago- this may end up being one of those items that was a great investment for several years- but maybe not so much in the future.

who can tell me how to recognize the replica watches by our eye?

Arthur

last week, I bought a watch from the internet, when I show the watch to my friends, they said that my watch was a replica watch, I am very confuse, and I felt that I was cheated by the seller. now, I just want to know how to judge them by our eye, if you have any information,please let me know, thank you!

Answer
Check these following aspects yourselves to a watch you going to buy:
1.The Crystal: Hardness and Reflection: A number of watch manufacturers employ a thin coating or veneer on the surface of the watch's glass crystal to reduce light reflections and its effects. This often gives the crystal a slightly blue tint viewed at most angles. If the watch you're examining is a reputable and well-known brand, you may have reason to be concerned if there are a large number of reflections from the crystal at various angles. High-end luxury watches today use a synthetic sapphire for the crystal, compared to treated glass that many cheap replicas use and a true sapphire crystal will be scratch-resistant.
2.The Case: Details and Mechanism: Authentic watches have a transparent case back that allows you to see the watch mechanism and movement. They also generally have enhancing elements such as sophisticated gears and an intricate finish on the watch movement. Fake watches, on the other hand, have no decorations and expose a very plain mechanism with little or no detail and one look at it will often expose the watch as counterfeit.
3.The Crown: Solid or Shoddy: Cheap replicas sometimes have the logo glued to the crown. Ascertain that the crown has no indication of glue or rough edges. The watch should also wind smoothly and effortlessly. Some replicas imitate the engraving on the watch crown with laser etching, but this method is rarely used on authentic watches. In addition, some watches have jewels embedded in the crown. On genuine watches this jewel is usually a sapphire or ruby while replicas normally use a glass or crystal stone that can easily be spotted by its dull appearance.
4.The Band: Pins or Screws: Watches generally have leather, rubber, ceramic, carbon fiber, or metal straps or bands, which are straightforward to replace and customize to the owner's needs or taste. Quality leather watch bands are padded or have a soft leather inner section. Metal bands, on the other hand, are harder to duplicate. The cheaper bands are made of low-grade stainless steel and are typically held together with pins instead of the screws that most genuine manufacturers use. The more expensive bands are of higher-quality steel and use screws.

LADIES-- Do you wear your engagement ring all the time?

btany.

I asked this one other time, and got some smart answers, so. try it again shall we?

I'm a nurse, and I opt not to wear my engagement ring to work just because I don't want my ring to get scratched or something to happen to it. I do wear it out on the weekends, or anytime I'm not working and not stuck at home. My friends from work think I'm insane. I ran into one of them at the grocery store and they automatically noticed I wasn't wearing my engagement ring. I love my ring and my husband, but white gold shows scratches easily... and if I'm only going to be working or doing laundry or grocery shopping, I don't think it's imperative that I wear it. I do wear it out anytime we're going out, like on a date or something of that nature. I don't wear it in the shower, when I'm cooking or cleaning or working...

I guess my friends think I don't love my husband enough to wear the diamond he gave me all the time, which isn't true. I think I'm being practical about the situation.

What about you? Do you wear yours all the time?
I wear my wedding band all the time. Where I work, I didn't have the option to really wear my engagement ring, the prongs are too sharp and poke holes in my gloves.

I wear my wedding band and a watch. No other jewelry is allowed.

Answer
I'm a nurse, and my sister's a nurse. Neither of us wear or engagement rings around all the time. I especially don't wear mine to work. I don't know about you, but we've constantly got to either wash or hands or use alcohol based disinfectants like Purell. That can really damage jewelry! Plus raised rings like an engagement ring can really get in the way of things. And putting on gloves- forget about it! You can poke a hole in gloves with an engagement ring, which could be a health risk. I just wear my wedding ring to work. It's simple, lays flat, and I don't have to worry as much about it getting scratched, etc. No one really comments on it, and I don't think it's all that unusual. Most of the nurses I work with just wear their wedding rings. Other times, of course, when I'm at home, or out, or doing counseling, I wear my engagement ring. But that's because I like it and because it's pretty. I don't really see what the big deal is in not wearing it. You don't need an engagement ring to show you're engaged. The wedding ring says it all.

P.S. You're allowed a watch? We don't get that luxury. Too many idiots not washing properly underneath and around the watch.

Were the Rolex "President" and "Super President" models originally produced by the company?

Luis

If yes, are they still in production?

Answer
The primary bracelets for the Rolex Oyster line are named Jubilee, Oyster and the President. Rolex "dressy" watches are from their Cellini line. The third brand in the Rolex empire is the less expensive, but high quality, Tudor brand. It was started by Rolex founder, Hans Wilsdorf, in 1946. While still sold in Europe and the Far East, the Tudor line was discontinued in the United States as of 2004.
Rolex is the largest manufacturer of Swiss made certified chronometers. In 2005 more than half the annual production of COSC certified watches were Rolex.

Rolex President
The Rolex Day-Date watch is also known in America as the 'President' watch. The chairman of Rolex presented President Eisenhower with an 18kt Datejust watch, one of the companyâs most exclusive, in 1948 to celebrate the victory over the Nazis in World War II.

Rolex
Arguably the most recognized name in luxury watches, Rolex was originally called Wilsdorf & Davis. It was founded by a German national in 1908. A perfectionist, Hans Wilsdorf worked hard to improve watch standards and prove that high quality products could be produced outside Switzerland (though he received his movements from a small Swiss company

Rolex SA has three watch lines: Oyster Perpetual, Professional and Cellini. Among modern Rolex Oyster watch models here are a few from there vast watch range
â¢Milgauss
â¢GMT Master II

The primary bracelets for the Rolex Oyster line are named Jubilee, Oyster and the President. Rolex "dressy" watches are from their Cellini line. The third brand in the Rolex empire is the less expensive, but high quality, Tudor brand. It was started by Rolex founder, Hans Wilsdorf, in 1946. While still sold in Europe and the Far East, the Tudor line was discontinued in the United States as of 2004.

The President and Super-President style Rolex was specifically designed for the addition of the âDayâ to âDay-Date.â It has been worn by World Leaders and other high-powered dignitaries. Because of its size, raw materials and sheer handsomeness, the Presidential sets you far apart from even those also wearing the Rolex name.

Originally the Rolex came either with no âDateâ or simply the numeric âDate,â known as the âDateJustâ timepiece. It was first released in 1956 and branded the âDay-Date.â The Presidential was only produced one year before the model was changed to add waterproofing. It earned the nickname of the âPresidentâ when Rolex presented one to former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, while he was president. Thus it became important for men of high style and importance to have this timepiece in their collection.

The fundamental of customizing your Rolex watch still exists with the Menâs and Ladiesâ President. It can be crafted in 18 Karat Yellow or White Gold and in Platinum. You can add stunning diamonds to your lugs, which gives the timepiece a very distinct and pointed look. You also have the choice of altering your bezel with a variety available to select from, ranging from high polished to fluted to diamond and others.

It is the most expensive line of Rolex watches and thus is viewed as the most prestigious. It has been worn by former U.S. Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon and Ford. The Presidential has the elevated quality for those that wish to express their power and level of success. Those around you will see your assertiveness without you have to say nary a word simply by viewing the exquisite craftsmanship that lays on your arm.

Answer
Hi there.

Whether you have a shoestring budget or have the luxury of a big spend, it is worth trying to suit the gift to the recipient. If its something she really needs, and best of all likes, it makes it really worth the trouble and the effort. The joy on her face is reward enough!

Letâs check out some options:

1. Jewellry:
. You could gift her a necklace, pendant, earrings, bangles, bracelet, or a ring.

2. Clothing :
Most women feel they never have enough outfits be it for work, social occasions or even the gym. If you gift her an outfit, moreover in a shade or style she doesnât already have, sheâll be over the moon.Do keep in mind a style that will suit her. . Try and have her size or her measurements readily available or at least ensure you donât buy something at a sale unless youâve checked that it can be exchanged.


3. Accessories :
Like never before, accessories are playing a major role in enhancing an outfit. Add a dash of glamour to a simple pair of denims and a white shirt with a really cool leather belt. Or add to her eveningwear accessory collection with a designer clutch purse. Or even a trendy but utilitarian bag to carry to the office. Make it a little roomy to store the million little things that women love to!


4. Watch:
From the delicate to the funky, watches are cool gifts for a lady. From leather straps, to bracelet ones, oval dials and gold embellishments, you know the kind she may be keen on so go ahead and treat her. Try and get one that has a warranty of at least one year.


5. Lingerie:
From the sexy to the practical, womenâs innerwear has unlimited options. Itâs a very popular gift between lovers but do get the size right. Itâs really not ideal to be holding up your hands and saying âthis muchâ or âthat bigâ when the salesgirl tries to help you out! Or even worse to run your eyes over her and say, âsheâs about your size!â Women love to receive lingerie from their partners. Thereâs something very sweet about the idea of those masculine hands going through delicate scraps of lace trying to unearth the right gift!


6. Beauty treatment:
If youâd like to pamper your woman, you could gift her a massage or a spa session or even a beauty package, which may include a facial, manicure and pedicure. Sheâll be thinking good thoughts of you while sheâs enjoying the soothing treatment.


7. Kitchen products:
If sheâs the domesticated kind and takes pride in her culinary skills gift her something that she will use and enjoy. Maybe a cookbook of Thai cuisine that sheâs never experimented with or an appliance sheâs wanted to buy. You may be lucky enough to be invited to a good Thai meal!


8. Knickknacks:
There are a variety of curios or ornaments to choose from if you know sheâs house proud or redecorating and you know sheâd really like something youâve spied. Scented candles, artfully packed potpourri, crystal, fluted glasses, or china the list is never ending.

Try this Example. I hope this works for u.

Good luck.

Is Rotary a luxury watch brand?

WhatWouldP

I was recently given a Rotary watch for my graduation.
I'm not particularly keen on the design, but I was assured it is a nice watch that will last me 20 years and that the classic design is timeless.

I know the watch sells for $130 online (discounted from $650, supposedly), and I'm looking at some other designs that are a bit more trendy and my style in that price range (Armani, DKNY, Oficina Del Tiempo, Invicta).

I tried to research Rotary brand but there isn't much about it. Is it a good brand? Is it worth keeping at that price?
Should I go with my gut instinct and get a trendy watch for under $200?

Answer
Rotary is a nice watch brand. It is not a "luxury" brand, but neither are the other watch brands that you mentioned. They are designer and fashion watches.

FYI... Armani and DKNY watches are essentially Fossil brand watches.

If you are not happy with the Rotary watch you received, you should definitely pick a watch that fits your personality and style. You will be a whole lot happier.

What is the difference between luxury watches and regular watches?

It's Like

Answer
Luxury watches are more expensive than regular watches. Luxury watches are made with higher quality materials and are made by high end brands like Rolex, Breitling, etc. If you have the money to spend on a luxury watch, then I would go that route. If you don't then go with a what your are comfortable buying. If you are not sure, go to a good jeweler and look at some high end watches and ask questions so that you can compare the luxury watches to other regular watches that you have seen around.

Where do I buy the best luxury watches online?

Amon Gear

I'm looking for something a little special for my girl friend. I've got some cash so I was thinking of buying her a really nice ladies luxury watch - not an el-cheapo imitation but the real deal...

I've heard of Zenith and other swiss luxury watch brands like Cartier, Omega, IWC and Rolex and just wonder if anyone knows where I can get the best discount / deals on luxury swiss watches.

Budget is 7-15k - I know - she is really spoilt - but I do really, really love her!

Hey thanks in advance everyone!

Answer
You can not because almost all of the watch sites are scams. Nearly all the answers will be SPAM that direct you to Chinese sites where they are selling fake or just stealing credit card numbers. You will have to go to a real store to not get scammed.

For example: www.bestinluxurywatches.com If you go to the link below you will see that all the information on the site is blocked. Why? Only a scam site would do that.

http://whois.domaintools.com/bestinluxurywatches.com

www.mensluxurtywatchesz.com has its info blocked as well.

Any advice for destinations weddings!?

Rabies

Need a little help with planning a destination wedding to Hawaii on a budget. Very small wedding, all couples. Maybe 8 guests total. Any advice? Share your experience... Should I use a certain web site? Or coordinator?
Please, anything will help!!!

Answer
Do you have a idea of what Island you prefer?

Hubby and I did our 1 year renewal on Maui last year (it actually was our original wedding date/location but got married a year earlier at last minute).

We used Now and Forever Weddings located in Lahaina. http://www.2hawaiiweddings.com

She changed her packages since then, but we got the Luxury package.

In our package included:
2 hour limo,
A harpist, not a guitarist.

We paid $1,300 last year. She increased and took a few things out etc. But she is a very nice lady and she tries to do what exactly you want.

Sunset on the beach. The officant spoke in Hawaiian hymes and blessings and also in English as we requested more of a "renewal" and not a wedding speech.

Which reminds me, she wanted me to send pictures of Hubby and I to put on the site. (Military).

Hubby and I got the Honeymooner & Anniversary 2 Hours Massages, which is located in her boutque.

We stayed at the Outrigger next to the Royal Lahaina resort. She was next door, so worked out amazingly for easy walking distance, limo drop off and talking with her.

Since the Lahaina Resort Luau was only going on Friday and we did it on a saturday, we went down aways (a good two or so miles) to the Hyatt Resort for their luau. (which was excellent).

Hubby and I went to Maui a year before that for planning/researching and we attended the Lahaina Luau too. Which I also recommend!

My mom, step dad, my SIL (who was 14 at the time) and hubby and I. Hard Rock and Bubba Gumps is about 15 mins away directly into Lahiana. There is the Maui aquiarium to also go to that I recommend.

We went snorkling off the Prince at the Crater (the first time we went, I forgot the company hubby and I went on). We also went Whale watching.

We booked our flight/hotel through Pleasant Holidays. The next morning of your arrival, you can attend a free breakfast and they help offer discounts from snorkling, outdoor adventure, heliocopter rides, whale watching etc. So, we get the tickets/prices a little cheaper along with our flight. They also give us some discounts and spending money at the Hilo Hatties too.

The first time we went. For hubby and I to stay 5 nights, 6 days. Hotel, rental car and flight included. We paid $1,500 for the both of us.

The second time we went, we paid about $1,800 for the both of us.

We are going to Maui again this December and so far (including our new baby due in summer), we are estimated at $1,300 so far. That is with a 2 bedroom suite condo instead of the 1 bedroom condo. We are waiting til around July to do our booking. So we are constantly check'n back on prices. If we can get below $1,000 for exactly what we want, we will book now.

With this economy, resorts are realy trying to get great deals to get people over there. So, shop around. Do your math on different sites and sometimes you can even call the sort and ask them directly if they can get you a better deal then going through airlines or companies.

But so far we found it is a lot cheaper to go through a company for airfare, hotel and car rental than to do each seperately.

What are some prestigious brand names of men's watches?

Hannibal

Im shopping for a watch and i was wondering what brand name to buy. I want it to be an "impressive" brand name. Like Rolex. But Rolex is just too expensive. What famous prestigious brand names are out there. Like the Benz or Lexus of watches. If the style makes a difference then im looking for a stainless steel shiny watch thats big.

Ive seen a Charles Jourdan... I dont know if thats any good.

Answer
The following site has alot of mens watches in all price ranges. America is a brand oriented culture. Lots of people know names like Rolex, Tag Heuer, Tissot and Omega, less know of brands like IWC and Jaeger LeCoultre. I tend to buy watch brands that few people know of and I get alot of compliments on them. I've even had people with $10k watches take note and compliment watches that cost less then $1000.

If you want brand name recognition, got with Rolex, Tag Heuer, Tissot, or Omega. But browse through the site below, you should find lots of great prices on luxury watches as well as come across brands you never heard of.
