Woods withdraws from tourney

Woods withdrew Monday from his own golf tournament, citing injuries from a car crash near his Florida home. His decision comes as questions continue to mount regarding what exactly happened in the wee hours of the morning last Friday—questions that most certainly would have been asked of him had he played.

The world’s No. 1 golfer posted a statement on his Web site saying that unspecified injuries prevented him from playing in the Chevron World Challenge. He had been scheduled to hold a press conference Tuesday for the tournament, which he hosts annually for a small, invited, field.

“I am extremely disappointed that I will not be at my tournament this week,” Woods said. “I am certain it will be an outstanding event and I’m very sorry that I can’t be there.”

Tournament officials said fans who bought advance tickets with the hope of seeing Woods could get refunds beginning next week. Those who keep their tickets will get a 20 percent discount when they buy them next year.

Woods sustained cuts and bruises when he crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and a tree at 2:25 a.m. Friday, outside his home in an exclusive, gated community near Orlando. He was treated at a hospital and released, and has not been seen in public since.

By skipping the tournament, Woods will escape the TV cameras and a horde of media seeking more details about the smashup. The tournament was to be the last of the year for Woods anyway, and he did not say when or where he would make his return next year.

The first tournament of the 2010 PGA Tour is the SBS Championship in Hawaii, an event for winners from the previous year, beginning Jan. 7, but Woods wasn’t expected to be there. He’s more likely to play at Torrey Pines in San Diego the week of Jan. 25.

Woods released a statement Sunday saying the accident was his fault and asked that it remain “a private matter.” But with the Florida Highway Patrol still investigating and the media in full pursuit, Woods may not get his way.

Woods even faced questions from fans who left comments on his Web site. Most voiced support for him, but some said he should address the questions about his own actions and those of his wife, Elin Nordegren, before and after the accident.

Woods hasn’t answered questions from Florida troopers, either, turning them down three days in a row when they came to his house.

Pearls and Jewelry Buying Advice

The pearls are hard rounded objects produced by certain mollusks, primarily oysters. A pearl is valued as a gemstone and is cultivated or harvested for wholesale jewelry. The pearls are formed inside the shell of certain bivalve mollusks.

The pearls that are artificially cultivated in oysters by planting a core or nucleus into pearl oysters are cultured pearls. Kokichi Mikimoto in Japan first developed this pearl culturing process in 1896. The original Japanese cultured pearls are known as akoya pearls. Akoya pearls are commonly known as cultured saltwater pearls. The cultured pearls are also produced using abalone.

The freshwater pearls are farmed using the pearl mussels. The fresh water pearl farming began in 1914 at Lake Biwa. Since then the phrase biwa pearls has become synonymous with freshwater pearls. The baroque pearls are simply pearls that are not round and have an undefined shape. The freshwater pearls are most commonly baroque pearls. The freshwater pearls are characterized by the reflection of rainbow colors in the luster. Organically a pear is composed of calcium carbonate and conchiolin.

The pearls are usually white, but sometimes with a creamy or pinkish tinge, may be tinted with yellow, green, blue, brown, purple, or black. The precious black pearls, frequently dubbed, as tahitian pearls are highly valued because of their rarity.

The value of the pearls in jewelry depends on their luster, color, size, lack of surface flaw and symmetry. The pearl jewelry is quite in vogue today. The fresh water pearl jewelry may include pearl earring, pearl necklace, pearl ring, pearl bracelet, black pearl necklace, pearl pendant, black pearl earring, pink pearl jewelry etc.
