Show diamond Brilliance, Fire & Sparkle on your phone

When someone makes a major purchase, he or she usually compares different products and places before making that major purchase. The gathering of information helps each person make an informed decision before buying.
Diamonds are often a major purchase in life. Many people do research online as well as going to multiple jewelry stores to see the product selections and learn about differences in diamonds.
When shopping, each person will usually have a mobile phone. According to International Telecommunication Union (http://www.itu.int/en/), the number of mobile phone subscriptions will reach 5 billion this year. Many mobile devices are much more than just a phone. People text, go online and use them for research while shopping. They enhance the buying experience. With GemEx mobile (http://m.gemex.com/), people can view diamond brilliance, fire and sparkle on a mobile phone. The Light Performance® certification is sent by simply entering the phone number and diamond id. It can be sent as a picture message and a text message with a link for phones with internet capability.
GemEx is used as part of the experience when buying a diamond because GemEx scientifically certifies the brilliance, fire and sparkle that makes a diamond beautiful.
When you are shopping for a diamond, you can view the diamond's brilliance, fire and sparkle on a mobile phone. It can easily be sent to a friend or family member for a second opinion before you buy a diamond. If you would like to comparison shop, you can keep the diamond images you are interested in on your phone. GemEx mobile enhances the shopping experience and ensures you are buying a beautiful diamond that will get noticed.
Try it out: Send brilliance, fire and sparkle to your phone at http://m.gemex.com and enter SAMPLE as the diamond id.

Romantic Recipes
Cheese Souffle
From Theresa H. Hall - Pastry Arts Graduate form a French Culinary School
Prepare 1 1/2 to 2 quart mold beforehand by heavily buttering the bottom and sides and dusting with either flour or fine bread crumbs.
Chill before using. The nutmeg is bitter against the sweet of the cheese…a perfect compliment.
(Beshamal)
1 1/2 oz butter (moderate heat)
1 1/2 oz flour
1 c hot milk
seasonings; salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard
______________________________
4 egg yolks
7 egg whites
3 oz grated guyere cheese
- Heat the milk.
- The thickening agent is the rue. Heat the butter and the flour, stirring constantly until you have achieved a blond rue.
- Add the milk to the rue and blend together. Pour into a bowl and set aside to cool.
- Enrich the mixture with the egg yolks but be careful not to cook the yolks.
- Add seasonings.
- Whip egg whites in mixer on highest speed about half way, or until softest peaks.
- Add cheese to the egg and flour base.
- Fold in light to heavy and heavy to light, whites to egg base.
- Pan batter into the mold.
If you tap the side there should be just the slightest jiggle.
Serve immediately. Using two large spoons open the souffle in the middle at the top.
Spoon from the side onto the serving dish and spoon out some sauce. A souffle sauces itself.

Sofia Reino - about me
Originally from Portugal, I somehow ended up in Wisconsin. Still trying to figure out how this happened! I am married to an Irish American from Boston and have two wonderful girls - a tween and a toddler.
The good news is that I do love the Midwest, the culture, the mentality and the ethics. GemEx Systems, where I work and deal with the image, branding, graphics and message, is no exception to that Midwest way of life, and here is a good example. Not long after moving to Wisconsin I came in for an interview and right away noticed the values and ethics of the people working here. Every person who interviewed me was down to earth, straight forward and very welcoming.
Within a month of working I discovered I was pregnant. Now imagine my scare, starting a brand new job and having to tell them, guess what? Well I will never forget Randall Wagner's (the CEO of GemEx Systems) reaction. Ok, so are you happy? To which I responded yes but I feel bad, I just started here. Then he followed with are you thinking in coming back to work after the baby? Of course my answer positive and that is exactly what happened. He and all my other colleagues were very supportive.
I must admit that prior to working for GemEx I was not one of those women who would be wowed by diamonds. But I must admit that apart from having learned a lot about the diamond industry, jewelry and the diamond per se, I find myself looking at someone's diamond ring when shopping around, or when I participate in my daughter's school functions. I did not know much how diamonds were graded, yet thanks to GemEx technology all I notice now is the beauty of the diamond. After all... why do people buy diamonds? Don't they want it to be beautiful, shine, sparkle and be bright? Don’t they want it to be noticed?
I spend my free time playing and dancing with my girls, doing house renovation or working in the yard with my husband and cooking. I love to cook and entertain. I do enjoy football and root for the Steelers at our house. I love soccer and cannot wait for the World Cup to start.
