Cranky Customer Left Waitress $50,000

BROWNSVILLE, Texas - For nearly seven years Melina Salazar did her best to put on a smile and tend to the every need of her most loyal and cantankerous customer.
She made sure his food was as hot as he wanted, even if it meant he burned his mouth. And she smiled through his demands and curses. The 89-year-old Walter "Buck" Swords obviously appreciated it, leaving the waitress $50,000 and a 2000 Buick when he died.
"I still can't believe it," the Luby's cafeteria employee told Harlingen television station KGBT-TV in an interview during which she described Swords as "kind of mean."

Swords, a World War II veteran, died in July. But Salazar learned just a few days before Christmas that he had left her the money and car.

Home of $25,000 Dessert Back to Business

The home of the famous $25,000 dessert is back is business, after health officials concluded it no longer home to mice and cockroaches.

Serendipity 3, a popular tourist destination on Manhattan's East Side, was allowed to reopen Tuesday, about three weeks after the restaurant was shuttered because of rodent infestation.

The famous sweet shop was closed Nov. 14 after it failed two inspections in a month. Inspectors spotted mouse droppings, fruit flies, house flies and more than 100 live cockroaches.

City Health Department spokeswoman Jessica Scaperotti said the restaurant had failed an inspection on Friday after mouse droppings were spotted. But it passed a followup inspection Monday night.

She said Wednesday that the agency will go back within 30 days for another inspection.

Serendipity's delectable menu items sometimes have patrons standing in line for hours to get inside. Its $25,000 Frrrozen Haute Chocolate — featuring top-grade cocoa, edible gold and shavings of a luxury truffle — was declared the most expensive dessert by Guinness World Records. It also offers a $1,000 sundae named Golden Opulence, requiring 48-hour advance notice

Be a Lawn Chair Millionaire.

How would you like to be a Lawn Chair Millionaire?

I found a new home business opportunity that pays me monthly... even though I have not made one sale since I joined!

I don't have to qualify for it and I don't have to jump through any hoops. It just appear in my commission balance like magic each month!

At the end of the FIRST day that you join your first commission share will be available to you to take to the bank!

You are one of the really very FIRST to know about this new program with a MUST SEE product line and a revolutionary “Moneyline” plan that guarantees you will earn commissions your FIRST day on the team… and for the next 60 days.

JOIN the Moneyline NOW and collect your first payday TONIGHT. Then continue earning for no less than the next 60 days.

Looks like every single day a HUGE pool of MONEY builds up as more and more people pile in. That pool of money is then paid out on a first come, first served basis until it’s gone.

Interesting concept.

Those who get in first get a bigger share. Those who get in first AND jump ahead of those you didn’t act fast enough get an even BIGGER share!

What I am seeing is that without doing anything my commission balance is already growing fast.

This is too easy to pass up.

Take a look for yourself…

King of All Desserts- A $25,000 Chocolate Sundae

What will you buy with $25,000 ? I am sure can I come up with a lot of uses for it. Maybe buy me a car,go travel or put a downpayment for a new house.But,Would you spend it on some chocolate sundae?
A day after New York City came up with a $1,000 bagel, a local restaurateur unveiled a $25,000 chocolate sundae on Wednesday, setting a Guinness world record for the most expensive dessert. This is King of All Desserts

Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3, partnered with luxury jeweler Euphoria New York to create the "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from around the globe.

The dessert, spelled with two Rs, is infused with 5 grams (0.2 ounces) of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. At the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds.

The sundae is topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound.

It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home.

"It took us a long time to experiment with all the ingredients and flavors, and more than three months were needed just to design the golden spoon," Bruce told Reuters.

Four years ago, Bruce unveiled a $1,000 ice cream sundae called Golden Opulence, a staple on his menu and a favorite with rock stars, socialites and other celebrities.

Both desserts are sold only with advance orders. Bruce said he has received inquiries about his latest creation, mostly from Europeans planning to visit New York.

"I wouldn't be surprised if soon we get a call from a Middle Eastern prince or Shah willing to give something sweet to his many wives on his next trip to the city," Bruce said.

On Tuesday, New York chef Frank Tujague of The Westin New York hotel at Times Square unveiled the $1,000 bagel, topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. Sales will help raise funds for culinary school scholarships.

A Thousand Dollars Dessert

Have you even tried the most expensive Ice Cream Sundae? How much did you pay? $10,$15? How About $1000 U.S.Dollars?
What do you get when you take five scoops of Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream decked with exotic candies and truffles, dribble bittersweet chocolate with a 70 percent cacao content over it, top it with fruit-infused caviar and edible gold leaf, and serve it in a crystal goblet with an 18-carat gold spoon?
The world’s most expensive dessert.
Thanks to Stephen Bruce, one of the founders and owners of Serendipity 3, a dessert cafe and popular tourist destination on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, satisfying a guilty pleasure has reached a new level of indulgence. The Golden Opulence Sundae, created to celebrate 50 years of luxury cuisine, isn’t on the menu, nor is it advertised. It’s like an exclusive club, marketed only through word-of-mouth, where you slip the bouncer a few Franklin to get to the front of the line. It’s secret. It’s special. And it’s $1,000 a serving.
“It’s bold and over the top,” Bruce said. “Like most things in New York.”
Bruce came up with the idea back in September 2004, when he was looking for a way to commemorate the golden anniversary of the cafe he’d opened with close friends Patch Carradine and Calvin Holt. Of the three--then all ballet dancers known for throwing fabulous parties--Bruce, now in his early 70s, is the only one left to taste the product of a lifetime’s achievement.
“On the day we unveiled it,” Bruce said, “I had the whole thing.” Since then, Serendipity 3 has sold more than a dozen of the Wonka-worthy delights. Customers who invest in the Golden Opulence Sundae are often wealthy buyers looking for a creative way to commemorate an occasion of their own. Past consumers have included a couple from Canada celebrating their wedding anniversary; a successful lighting designer; a woman treating her daughter on her sweet 16th birthday and trying to top her 15th, which included a walk-on appearance on the television show "Friends.”
The sundae isn’t meant to be a spur-of-the-moment purchase. It’s only available by appointment, and the ingredients--everything from the Parisian candied fruits to the pricey Amedei Porcelana chocolate--have to be ordered in advance. A well-known specialty cake designer, Ron Ben-Israel, created the gold-covered sugar flower, while the rare Chuao chocolate is harvested from cocoa beans on Venezuela’s coast. The Grand Passion Caviar--served in a mother of pearl spoon--comes stripped of its saltiness and sweetened with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac liqueur.
Bruce personally supervises each construction, a 20-minute process because of the delicate nature of the ingredients. Chocolate is chopped and melted; ice cream is layered with Madagascar vanilla. Once customers have savored the delicacy, they get to keep the golden spoon and $300 Baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet.
The sundae has joined the ranks of the city’s most extravagant edibles; another is the Algonquin Hotel’s $10,000 martini, which comes garnished with a diamond of the purchaser’s choice. But in the world of solid foods, the Golden Opulence Sundae has little competition, and was the first to gain recognition from the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s most expensive sundae.
Its nearest New York challenger--an entire zero away--is famed toy store FAO Schwarz’s Volcano Sundae at $100. The toy store’s concoction, however, is more about quantity than quality and is recommended for “four big eaters.” The mound of ice cream is drenched with seven toppings and erupts when the Belgian chocolate crust is cracked.
But it’s a different sort of customer who opts for the Golden Opulence.
Naresh Malhotra, a professor of marketing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, suggested that the sundae provided a unique experience for those who wanted to stand out from the crowd. “They can fulfill that need,” Malhotra said. “It can boost a person’s ego.”
Still, the Golden Opulence Sundae--about which celebrities and royalty have inquired--is not likely to reach the average sweet tooth. “I don’t think anyone who can’t make ends meet, would go out and spend $1,000 on an ice cream sundae,” Malhotra said.
Many find the concept hard to comprehend. Lynn and Spencer Sweet, a couple of theater buffs visiting from Vermont, braved the cold one recent Tuesday as they waited for two hours to try another popular invention at the crowded restaurant.
Lynn was eagerly anticipating the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate--a $7.50 ice cream shake that Rachael Ray had promoted on the Food Network. But they’d never heard of the Golden Opulence Sundae. And even if Spencer had an extra $1,000, would he indulge? “Not on a sundae,” he said, somewhat incredulously.
But soon there may be a cheaper version--a way to bring the quintessentially New York experience to the masses. “We’re planning a poor man’s option,” Bruce said. “For 1,000 cents.”
I rather go to Bruster's Ice cream and get me 3 big scopes of my favourite ice cream on a big waffle cone - only $4.50

BlogRush Rainbow of Flavors

You’ve asked and we’ve listened!

Introducing, BlogRush Flavors. (They’ll be available in a few days.)

MORE NEWS…

It seems that some people are trying to call BlogRush a “pyramid scheme” or stating “there’s just no way the future impressions will ever be able to be served based on the promises of what referrals will bring. The math is impossible like other schemes of this kind.”

Anyone that is saying this doesn’t understand how BlogRush works…

EVERY SINGLE IMPRESSION GETS REWARDED FOR *THAT* IMPRESSION AS IT HAPPENS. There is no “promise” of future rewards based on referral activity today. Each and every impression of the widget (and impression of the 5 headlines per widget) is rewarded AS IT HAPPENS. And when all the math is said and done, it also leaves 1 out of every 10 headline spaces left-over for BlogRush to use to monetize the service. So apparently some people think it’s all based on false promises that the network will eventually “catch up” and pay rewards in the future. This just isn’t the case. Every single impression that occurs is calculated and rewarded to the generations ‘above’ — that’s how the math has to work.

We’re working hard to move to the 100% Manual Review Process as quickly as possible, and other improvements.

As I’ve now said many times, our SOLE FOCUS is helping our members generate quality, targeted traffic. So we’re hard at work to make that happen.
