Gold powers through $800 - hang on for a bumpy upwards ride
Lawrence Williams Sunday , 04 Nov 2007
Gold moved through $800 on Friday with hardly a pause for breath, which keeps it on track for $900 plus by the end of theyear.
fter a short hiatus period in the $780s and low $790s, the gold price powered upwards through the psychological resistance level of $800 on Friday without drawing breath, closing the day at around $806-$807. Wall Street stuttered on Thursday and made a small recovery on Friday, as there are still serious overhanging concerns about the subprime mortgage fallout which is continuing to create unease in the financial sector - and many observers also feel there is still a 50:50 chance of the US economy going into reverse next year.

This is where the jewels are acquired, brokered, exchanged, cut and sold.
Although professionals do the bulk of the trading in the row of shops between 5th and 6th avenues, savvy visitors can save 50 percent, maybe more, on diamonds and other jewelry purchases in New York's Diamond District. >>>

Color is Key for Retro Glamour Looks at Primetime Emmys
59th Annual Emmy Awards 2007
By Deborah Yonick
 Color, and a certain understated retro glamour, dominated the red carpet at the Primetime Emmy Awards Sept. 16 providing another opportunity for celebrities to parade their fashion credentials. The favored shape was body skimming, like Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl's mermaid-hem gown by Zac Posen, with strapless exulting celebrated backs.
