Rolex Watches: Melrose Jewelers Launches Its New Customer Loyalty Program, MJ Dollars

June 25, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) —
Melrose Jewelers (MelroseJewelers.com), USA’s #1 online Rolex watch
retailer, today announced a new program to reward customers with a
discount on their next purchase. The program automatically awards
customers 3% cash back in “MJ Dollars” good for all future purchases from
Melrose Jewelers.

How it works: Once a customer purchases a product from the Melrose
Jewelers website, he or she will automatically receive 3% cash back in MJ
Dollars. It is important to note that MJ Dollars are as good as real
currency when making a purchase from Melrose Jewelers. For example, if a
customer purchases a Men’s Champagne String Dial Rolex Day Date President
for $9,225, he or she would then receive $277 in MJ Dollars good towards
his or her next Rolex watch purchase from Melrose Jewelers. To clarify,
one MJ Dollar is the equivalent of one US dollar, so customers can treat
the MJ Dollars stored in their account on MelroseJewelers.com as if they
were real currency.

“We instituted the MJ Dollars program because we really wanted to show
our appreciation for loyal customers,” explains Vanessa Puzio of Melrose
Jewelers. “What better way can we give thanks to our customers,”
continues Puzio, “than give them a significant amount off their next
Rolex watch purchase.”

In addition to the MJ Dollars Rewards Program, Melrose Jewelers strives
to set the standard in quality customer service. To this end, every
luxury watch purchased from Melrose Jewelers comes with a comprehensive
2-year warranty, a Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee, a full authentication
and appraisal by the Associated International Gemological Laboratory, and
a 3-day inspection period so that customers can feel as comfortable as
possible with their purchase. As the #1 online used Rolex watch retailer
in the world, Melrose Jewelers believes that quality customer service
should be expected when buying Rolex watches.

Pasture study probes grazing impact

May 19, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

A 25-year study on pasture in western Queensland has wrapped up and scientists say they have made important discoveries on sustainable grazing.

The trial was undertaken at the Toorak Research Station near Julia Creek.

That facility is to be sold off by the State Government later this year.

Research spokesman Dr David Phelps says some of the plants survived for the duration of the study.

“But I guess it also highlights the importance of keeping research going for as long as you can in these systems where you’ve got really long-lived pastures and we would have got quite different answers for instance if we’d stopped the study after 10 years – which is only a half or a third of a Mitchell grass’ lifetime – compared with now where we’ve pretty much covered the whole lifespan of Mitchell grass,” he said.

It is the longest trial on Mitchell grass ever conducted and spokesman Dr Phelps says it looked at how the pasture responded to different grazing pressures from sheep.

“The main thing for us after 25 years is that we’re now quite confident that if you graze a third of the bulk of the pasture it is quite sustainable and thankfully that also lines up with the finances,” he said.

“So we’ve made good profits out of moderate grazing pressure as well as protecting the pasture at that level.”

Average Brit spends £39,480 in a lifetime getting beers in for mates!

May 8, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

London, May 8(ANI): The average Brit spends 39,480 pounds in a lifetime buying drinks for friends and workmates, a survey has revealed.

That means UK as a nation spends 30 billion pounds a year on beer rounds.

The men, however, take the cake. The survey by www.OnePoll.com revealed nearly a quarter of men go out twice a week, and buy rounds in groups of five. That equates to around 200 pounds a month.

“Buying rounds is a way of life in Britain and these results show us to be a very generous nation. The cost adds up and over their lifetime it amounts to a sizeable piece of their disposable income,” The Sun quoted a spokesman for the website, as saying.

The figures were calculated on a span of 47 years from age 18 to 65. (ANI)

‘I’ll always be Sania Mirza’

April 23, 2010 By vani Leave a Comment

Newly wed tennis star Sania Mirza has said she will retain her maiden name and play for another three to four years.

In an interview to ‘People’ magazine along with husband and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik, Sania said, “no matter what happens I am always going to be Sania Mirza. Maybe later I’ll add his name (sic).”

She said they have chosen Palm Jumeirah in Dubai as their new residence.

“My husband wants to live in Palm Jumeirah and I am not fussy, so that’s where we live,” says Sania.

The couple said their courtship developed over telephone after the first few meetings.

“Suddenly we were constantly texting and then we started talking on the phone for hours. So that’s where things started for us,” says Sania.

Sania said her mother would keep saying that she was wasting so much money on phone calls. “I would tell her that it’s not a waste,” the 23-year-old tennis star said.

On the controversy surrounding their marriage, the two of them said it brought them closer together.

“Hats off to my parents who supported Shoaib like they have stood by me even before he became a part of the family. That got us all much closer,” said Sania.

Shoaib says he also had full faith in Sania’s love. “Sania always knew the truth so I was very confident. We were together and surrounded by people who loved and supported us.”

When asked about their busy schedules, Shoaib said, “We are going to be together for a lifetime so it won’t be very difficult to stay away from each other for a few weeks or months.”

“Anyway, it’s temporary. I’ll probably play for another three to four years,” Sania added.

Sania said Shoaib was more romantic than her. “He is more romantic. When I was getting the mehndi done, he sat with me for four hours because he wanted to.”

On their marriage, she said, “Five years from now when we go on a drive, I want us to be excited at the thought of being together and holding hands.”

Shoaib said Sania was very adjusting, extremely sweet and very punctual. More importantly, she doesn’t get angry, he said.

Sania felt Shoaib was an easy person to live with. “We have spent the last seven days together and we haven’t felt like we are in each other’s face. It’s been very easy to live with him,” she said of her week-old marriage.

The pair is expecting a warm welcome in Pakistan. Shoaib says, “I’ve heard that people of Pakistan are very excited and people are saying that there will be dhols to welcome Sania.”

Both of them are now looking ahead to their honeymoon – she likes the Maldives, he prefers Europe – after which they will settle down in Dubai.
