Diamond encrsuted glasses worth half a million dollars
 |
A MELBOURNE businessman will soon be sipping champagne from diamond-encrusted glasses worth almost half a million dollars.
An Australian jeweller yesterday unveiled what he says are the world’s most expensive champagne glasses, valued at $400,000 and adorned with 1700 white and pink diamonds.
Designer John Calleija said five jewellers spent more than three months finishing the two glasses, which were chiselled from 8kg blocks of crystal after being commissioned by a Melbourne man.
Each glass stands 15cm tall, weighs 250g, and together are encrusted with 15 carats of white diamonds and six carats of rare argyle pink diamonds.
Mr Calleija said the Melbourne buyer planned to turn them into cherished family heirlooms.
“They’re just spectacular,” he said

Help support Jamie Oliver’s restaurant fifteen after the fire
 |
I am sure everyone has seen or heard the devastating news about the fire to the fifteen offices in Melbourne.
fifteen is super chef Jamie Oliver’s restaurant and foundation that is there to help young people get a better chance at life by giving them the opportunity to get off the streets, into the kitchen and then excel from there.
The worst part about the fire is that the office was also the safe house for the trainees.
You can support them two ways. The first way is by donating money through their website at fifteen. The other way is by showing up at the restaurant and having a meal. They are not taking reservations as this was all done in their office which was burnt down.
If there is any other way you can show support please contact them at admin@fifteenfoundation.org.au.

FIRST LOOK at the 2008 Porsche 911
 |
Take your FIRST LOOK at the 2008 Porsche 911.
Looking at it you may think it looks the same as the old one but there are differences.
It has Porsche’s first dual-clutch transmission which is a seven-speed unit. It has taken the company 25 years to place it in the on road version. The race cars being the first models to have it.
The biggest improvement is the reduced emissions. The Carrera Coupe now officially takes 9.8L/100km compared to 11.2L for the current model and it emits up to 15% less carbon dioxide than the last model.
Another difference is that both the coupes and convertibles will get LED daytime driving lights as well as bi-xenon headlamps as standard.
Xenon for those not in the know are headlamps that produce a clear white light closer to natural daylight, which has been proven to improve driver concentration. It is easier to read road markings and road signs with them. They also produce twice the light of Halogen bulbs while expending only half the power.
The car goes on sale on September 20. Only then will we find out the price.
