================== ARTICLE START ==================
The popularity of vintage costume jewelry began to rise shortly
after World War I and then peaked in the 1960's. Today, vintage
costume pieces are considered collectibles worth several times
their original sale price. Costume jewelry actually originated
on the stages and theatres in Europe before becoming popular in
the States. American companies began dominating costume jewelry
design and manufacturing from the late 1920's onward. Some
popular and highly coveted vintage costume pieces are made by
some of these American companies, such as:

Art
Carnegie
Weiss
Eisenberg
Coro

But what makes costume jewelry valuable and how do you identify
it? The true origins of vintage costume pieces can be traced to
the stages and theatres in Europe. The cheap yet fashionable
jewelry became popular in the United States when it was brought
back to the country by GI's returning from the first world war.
American manufacturers began dominating the industry from the
1920's onward. Signed vintage costume necklaces, rings, and
other pieces are worth more money. Some popular American
companies known to produce high quality and highly collectible
pieces include:

Trifari
Eisenberg
Art
Carnegie
Coventry

For anyone who can identify the valuable pieces, collecting
vintage jewelry can be a very profitable hobby or side-line.
Value is determined by:

Rarity of Piece
Demand
Design
Quality of Construction and Materials
Current Condition

Vintage jewelry prices vary greatly and one of the big reasons
is because the supply is so varied. While there were dozens of
manufacturers, they all produced jewelry in varying quantities.
Larger companies like Coro and Trifari would commonly produce
thousands of pieces of each design. DeMario, McClelland, and
other small companies might only have batch sizes numbering in
the hundreds. Therefore, if all other factors remain the same, a
signed piece from a company like DeMario would typically sell
more than a similar piece from Trifari. But you really do need
to do your homework because even some of the larger players
produced some specialty pieces in limited batch sizes and will
thus be worth more.

While rarity plays a large part in the overall value of any
particular neclace or bracelet, demand always plays the largest
role. Higher demand translate into higher price. Despite having
some rather odd designs, signed Miriam Haskel jewelry is in high
demand right now. If you want to collect vintage jewelry and
make money, then you need to do a little homework and find out
which pieces are in demand and which are not. True collectors
seeking profits need to remember that the popular pieces do not
always have great designs or materials--but they still tend to
be more profitable to collect.

Why do people actually prefer one piece over another even when
their choice was the necklace, brooch, etc. of lower value?
Demand for a piece is stimulated most by the actual design of
the jewelry. Novice collectors tend to focus exclusively on
signed pieces but it is often the case the unsigned,
well-designed pieces prove to be the most profitable to collect.
Many vintage costume pieces, including those made by some of the
largest manufacturers, are actually unsigned but still very
valuable. You can identify the unsigned pieces and usually snap
them up for little money by simply being able to spot great
designs. Unsigned pieces by companies like Bergere and B. David
are highly prized by collectors and can be identified by their
distinctive but high quality designs.

The overall design is accentuated by the quality of
craftsmanship and materials used to produce each piece. Gemstone
quality, in particular, plays a key role in determining the
value of a particular piece of costume jewelry. A handful of
vintage jewelry manufacturers were famous for using gemstones of
exceptionally high quality. Bogoff, Eisenberg, and Weiss are all
great investments because they almost always had great designs
featuring fabulous, high quality stones.

Eisenberg costume necklaces, earrings, and other pieces tend to
be hard to find at the flea markets or via online auction. If
you are trying to find some profitable pieces to purchase at
cheap prices but still command a lot with serious investors,
look for jewelry made by these companies:

Danecraft
Kramer
Bogoff
Weiss
Monet

As with all antique valuations, the final condition of the
piece plays a pivotal role in the price determination. Lost
stones, excessive scratches, peeling, and discoloration are all
factors that will lower the value of a piece of vintage costume
jewelry. Still, even vintage necklaces, rings, and other pieces
are coveted by investors and collectors as they are worth big
money even in less than perfect condition. Collecting vintage
costume pieces is still a very profitable venture for anyone
knowing how to identify the truly profitable pieces.

Article Title: What Everyone Needs To Know About Workers
Compensation
Author: Gerald Sherwood

Format: 64cpl

================== ARTICLE START ==================
If you're getting into small business entrepreneurship for the
first time, you'll need to know the ins and outs of the Worker's
Compensation program. This program is available and mandatory
for most businesses to carry in the event that one of their
workers is hurt on the job. In these instances, it falls to the
business to pay the medical bills, and without Worker's
Compensation, just one incident could be enough to sink a new
company. The Worker's Compensation insurance not only covers the
cost of trips to the hospital, but follow up doctor's
appointments, prescription drugs, and even surgeries that may be
called for in the event of an accident. Though Worker's
Compensation can be costly, it is there to protect the small
business owner from lawsuits. If an employee signs on with
Worker's Comp (which you should provide and make mandatory for
all your workers), he essentially waives his right to bring
legal action in the event of an accident.

The Worker's Compensation program was started in the early
years of the twentieth century when work related lawsuits were
getting out of hand. Enormous settlements, far exceeding what
was required for medical expense, were being handed out as
punishments to companies for failing to provide safe work
environments. Not only was this disastrous for small
businessmen, but it usually resulted in workers being fired and
even blacklisted in some instances from the industries they used
to make a living.

Of course, the current system of Worker's Compensation has more
than its share of detractors. These people argue that the
mandatory program provides another reason for larger
corporations to outsource much of their work to offshore
factories in order to avoid both the chances for lawsuits and
the program's premiums. Others argue that these corporations
will find reasons anywhere to hire cheap labor from other
countries, and the Worker's Comp reason is just another excuse.
On the other hand, even small business owners have their
problems with the system, and some of them argue that the
premiums are too high and make it difficult for new businesses
to hire a workforce at a reasonable salary.

There are also increased movements toward privatizing Worker's
Compensation, rather than having it available through the
government. Already a couple of states have adopted private
funds for Worker's Compensation insurance, which has lowered the
cost of premiums and given in turn better care for the workers
themselves. While some insist that a program this important
should be left in the hands of the state governments, others
disagree, pointing to examples where competition based insurance
programs provide the best of both worlds to both employees and
businesses.

Whether the future provides for a continuation of the trend in
privatization or a full scale reform of the system as a
government program, Worker's Compensation is not going anywhere.
If you are starting your own business, familiarize yourself with
the requirements for your district and state and make sure to
budget accordingly. There are sometimes differing levels of
insurance depending on inspections of your workplace and the
nature of your business, so take advantage of any programs you
can use to keep costs low.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
Do you need tax debt help? Well, take a deep breath. One
experience you never want to have is getting a letter from the
IRS informing you that you owe income tax debt. It can be a real
shock to get such a letter. However, I can say from personal
experience that it may not be as bad as you first think. If you
owe the government back taxes, first of all don't panic, relax,
the IRS is helpful and will work with you to resolve your income
tax debt.

In my case my ex-wife had claimed my son on her taxes in 2006
without telling me, I won't try to explain why she did that, (I
have trouble explaining most of what she does). I had been the
sole legal guardian of my son for some 15 years and things had
not changed in any way in 2006. Nevertheless, after talking with
IRS representative, it became evident that I would have to prove
that my son lived with me, and that I took proper care of him.

This involved filling out an income vs. expense form, getting
forms from his school showing he lived at my address, and
supplying a copy of my 2006 income tax return and other personal
information. The IRS representative who worked on my case was
patient, helpful and objective. After I submitted the proper
forms the debt was quickly canceled. After everything was
settled it became evident to me that I did a lot of worrying and
stressing over something that was resolved without an attorney,
just with the aid of the IRS professional and only about five or
six hours work. Ok, my case was fairly simple and was easily
worked out. The point of my story and my aim in telling it is to
demonstrate that if you owe the IRS taxes it doesn't mean that
you are under some form of attack or that anyone is out to get
you. The only real damage done may be the stress you put
yourself through, so take your time and gather all the facts of
your particular situation and adopt a wait and see attitude
after you have submitted all relevant information.

Tax debt is something that you can't escape through bankruptcy,
but if there's no mistake and you really owe the money, the IRS
may be willing to work out a repayment plan or settlement of
some sort. You may need to borrow some money from the equity in
your home. If that's not possible, you may have some personal
items you can sell, a late-model automobile you can trade out
of, or possibly a relative who can help you out over the
short-term.

If the sum owed is a considerable amount, it is very advisable
to consult a tax professional who can examine your case in
detail and discuss various solutions. A tax professional can
help you submit whatever documentation is needed to process your
case. Check the author's section below for a professional, quick
and free online tax debt help consultation.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
Somehow, despite all our hopes, dreams and efforts, life became
a train-wreck. We may or may not have had an inkling of the
impending doom. Perhaps we were in denial or maybe completely
unaware of what was swirling around just out of sight. We may
have seen it coming but didn't realize its speed–or hoped
against hope it wouldn't happen.

But here we are. We can't make the mess unhappen. We can't even
change a few details to make the results less harsh. Somehow,
though, we need to get out of the spot we're in. How?

Standard-issue advice says, "Forget it and get on with your
life." On the other hand, Santayana tells us, "Those who cannot
remember the past are condemned to repeat it." My money's with
Santayana.

We can't forget our experiences. And we really don't want to.
Remembering keeps us from falling into the same traps again and
again.

What we need is hope. That takes some decisions about attitude.
So let's talk about the attitudes we need to move us along.

First, we need to accept the responsibility of letting go of
yesterday. This is hard, but endless pining over what used to be
is a no-fail recipe for a sad and lonely life. Life can be good
again, but not if we keep dragging the corpse of yesterday
around everywhere we go.

Second, we need to let the reality that nothing has to last
forever sink in. That realization gives us the balm of knowing
that our current difficulties won't last forever either. It's a
whole lot easier to hold on to hope when we know that each
tomorrow will be better than every painful yesterday. Maybe not
by a lot, but at least by a tad.

Third, we need to look at the full horizons of life and realize
that some parts of it are still good–perhaps even really good.
Even when life seems like a total disaster, we can find things
to celebrate, things to be grateful for.

Fourth, we need to decide to get our git-along in gear and
limit the time it takes to go from start to finish.

Here's how it goes:

We grab hold of the fact our personal value isn't diminished by
outside forces, and that gives us the strength to stand tall.

We focus on what's still good in our lives and on solutions. We
don't allow ourselves to focus on crying over the problem
instead of moving past it.

And we give ourselves little encouragement prizes when we win a
battle or conquer a mountain.

Pain is a powerful teacher. If we're willing to learn and to
use our pain well, some day we'll see t our mess as an
opportunity for growth. Probably even a blessing.

We never put revenge on our to-do list. Thoughts of revenge
focus our minds on the current mess, not on the future. And no
matter how carefully plotted, revenge rarely works, but leaves a
bad taste, usually the taste of further defeat. Yes, they did us
wrong. No, they're not sorry in the least. That doesn't mean we
have to get stuck in their garbage.

And we can't waste time feeling sorry for ourselves. That slows
progress to a crawl.

We don't want to take our hurt out on others, either. People
who care about us are part of the good things we still have.

And (I want to write in all caps here) let's never see
ourselves–or let others see us–as victims. Whatever the
circumstances that brought us to where we are, accepting the
victim label says we're powerless and pitiful. If ours mind
drift in that direction, we need to start playing the "Rocky"
music and run up some stairs somewhere.

The future is full of possibilities, even when we can't imagine
it. Move forward. Keep on keeping on. Mush!

CRM solutions can boost your sales figures, customer service
ratings, and overall profit margin. But it's also quite a costly
investment. That is why the flexibility of these hosted
solutions is so appealing to a lot of businesses. They can take
advantage of all the customer data tools without significant and
immediate outlay. The market is seeing exponentially increasing
demand for these remarkable solutions.

Boosting Sales

Hosted CRM solutions can adapt to different and complex sales
processes. They help the business improve customer targeting and
management of marketing campaigns. Ultimately, this will widen
the sales pipeline with leads and opportunities. The existing
sales strategy is also maximized because of the central
coordination. Finally, personnel will always be prepared for
important meetings because of the data available.

Enhance Your Marketing

We live in the Information Age. It is no surprise then that
information is readily available to companies. The key to
success lies in transforming all that raw data into clear
knowledge that can be acted upon. And it has to be acted upon in
a timely manner. Hosted CRM solutions can help you do this. They
provide instant access to complete customer data from any point
in the network. The tools are also decentralized, allowing for
multiple points of effort. Thus, the marketing team can create
very refined profiles of customers with all that data. They can
then focus marketing efforts by intelligent segmentation and
filtering. This leads to smarter marketing campaigns in the end,
which considerably reduce cost and maximize effort. The company
understands, in a sense, what the customer is truly saying
through all this technology.

The Importance Of The Customer

Interacting with customers is a great way to build loyalty by
providing the kind of personalized service that every single
consumer wants. It helps this effort because it provides the
company with the focused information that it needs to precisely
deliver that personalized service required. Up-selling,
down-selling, cross-selling - all that are greatly enhanced. The
company responds faster and smarter. Customer issues are
resolved right away. Finally, centralized scheduling tools also
allow the company to manage its resources properly and
efficiently.

A Flexible Choice

Finally, hosted CRM solutions can be customized every which
way. This allows the system to scale with your growth. This
integration is very much invaluable in all your efforts. Even
third party applications are factored into its expansion
capabilities.

The economic sense is hard to dismiss. Why commit resources and
make a large investment when you can use the power of modern
technology to achieve the same goal? The distributed nature of
these solutions also helps to avoid a single point of failure.
We all know that there is no place for system failure in this
high technology world. So examine all the options available.
Hosted CRM solutions will seem very appealing to a lot of
businesses. The bottomline is it helps the bottom line. And that
is what all businessmen look for in tools and technology
investments - great productivity and even greater value.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
One of the many things you may want to get for your dog when
starting to train them is a good, sturdy dog training harness,
as part of your dog supplies to have. A good harness should fit
comfortably on your dog and have enough padding to prevent any
escaping or injuries that could occur while wearing the harness.
Having your dog wear a harness is a way to keep better control
when walking your dog. Pulling a dog by the neck using a choke
chain is really uncomfortable. Also a tugging dog will prevent
itself from getting enough oxygen when it's pulling on the lead,
and we certainly do not want that! You do not want the dog to
get scared of wearing a collar or harness because of something
like that happening. Do not get frustrated or tug on the
harness. Heel is pretty easy to teach with the correct method.
Tugging on the harness will hurt the dog and get him confused.
This is the same with yelling. In taking your dog for walk and
in training your dog, there is much more considered necessary
than just a good dog trainer and an obedient and intelligent
dog. You will need a lot of dog training accessories, but
generally the most popular of all of them will be the dog
training harness.

A dog training harness was made to take the place of dog
collars. Usually, time-honored dog collars can cause irritation,
choking, and coughing for a dog when the pressure is applied if
the collar is pulled while training or walking. Dog training
harnesses help your dog escape such dreadful circumstances. A
dog harness is placed over the dog's upper body such as the
shoulders and ribcage. Its grip extends to the dog's front legs.
As a result, the dog escapes choking since the pressure exerted
while pulling is evenly distributed throughout the upper body of
the dog. The pressure is then relieved and the dog escapes
irritations caused by pulling. Also, the dog can freely bark,
catch and track things without the restraints from the collar
irritation. These harnesses come in various designs and sizes.
This wide variety is one of the reasons why many dog owners find
it very difficult to choose the right dog training harness for
their lovable pooch. Regardless of the size however, the most
important rule in choosing the right harness is to make sure you
put function and not fashion first. Make sure that the dog
training harness fully serves its purpose, that is to be able
help the keeper/trainer control, guide or manage the dog's
behavior. The most popular types of dog training harnesses are
those that are made of leather. For dogs that belong to the
large breeds, the commonly used harness for them will be made of
more durable materials. Another factor to take into
consideration when choosing the right dog training harness is
the dog's temperament and breed.

Comfort for both the dog and the trainer is a vital factor to
be considered as well. The training harness should be one that
the dog wants to use. It should be lightweight and it should be
hypoallergenic to the dog. It should not pose any threat to the
health and the growth of your dog. In addition to that, the
right harness should be able to ease your problem in controlling
a rather stubborn pooch when exposed to strangers or when you
are outdoors. The right dog training harness is often expected
to be the favorite training equipment of both the dog and the
trainer. Last but not the least; a dog harness should be durable
and strong. It should be able to handle the pressure of puppies
that are hard to control, or those who simply have aggressive
behaviors, or who get easily over excited. It should also be
able to resist the pressure and strength exerted by larger dog
breeds. In order to start getting your dog used to wearing one,
it helps to put him in the harness to get the feel of it. Let
him wear it while you walk him on leash the first time. Do not
leave a young dog, or any dog for that matter, unattended with a
harness; they have a tendency to chew through them, or get
themselves caught on something and into trouble. This really is
one of the more safer methods of training one can use with their
dog, and a dog that is safer and happier will learn better in
the end.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
When you buy a car you want to buy the best car that your money
can buy but you want to make sure that your car finance program
is equally as good. After you have your car you want to make
sure that you have the best insurance, but of course you want to
make sure that you have the best price for your great coverage.


When you are looking for car financing or for car insurance if
you want to get the most for your money you will need to spend
some time shopping around for the best programs out there.
There is something for everyone and you don't need to pay top
dollar for the best coverage.

Getting the Most for Your Money

When you are looking for car finance help you want to get the
best loan that your money can buy. For some people this means
having the best interest rate and for others this means that
they are able to buy the car that they want. If you want the
best car finance program that money can buy you first need to
determine what is important for you.

To some people interest is everything so they won't accept a
loan that has an interest rate of more than 7%. To other people
they simply want to get into the car of their dreams, so they
don't care if their interest rate is 20% as long as their
monthly payment stays where it needs to be. For this reason,
you need to determine what is important to you.

When you know what is important to you when it comes to car
finance you will then need to start shopping around. Some
lenders may require you to jump through hoops to get what you
want while others will require that you simply provide them with
the paperwork and financial information that is needed to
process the loan. Which seems more reasonable? Everyone has a
different idea of what they are willing to do for that perfect
loan just as they have a different idea of what that perfect
loan is.

When it comes to buying the best car insurance that money can
buy, you will need to shop around, plain and simple. When it
comes to car insurance there is a lot of competition out there
and when you have competition that means that you are often able
to get great coverage at great prices. Luckily there are a lot
of websites out there that will help you compare and contrast
coverage so you are sure to get the best deal.

Again, it all comes down to knowing what you want and then
finding the best deal. This is different for everyone, which is
why the process of getting the most for your money may require a
bit of legwork on your part, but it will be worth it. Simply do
a bit of work and chances are you'll get great coverage! And at
the end of it all, you will find the journey worth it.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
If you are looking for an absolutely top French Riviera Hotel
then look no further than the Chateau de Chevre d'Or perched
high up in the very heart of the very pretty village of Eze. In
fact it seems to be almost just below cloud level, and has
probably the finest views in all of the Mediterranean as it sits
seemingly perched between the mountains and the sea.

What Riviera Hotel can possibly be its equal with a panorama
such as this. The Chateau de Chevre d'Or has its rooms and
suites scattered through the village, and you are unlikely to
find more elegant accommodation anywhere else in this part of
the world.

If you decide to book the Chevre d'Or then take full advantage
of what the hotel has to offer. It is the ideal place for a
couple seeking a long getaway weekend, or a romantic break, or
just a battery recharge for a few days. It is probably not a
long stay family holiday place, if for no other reason it is
jolly expensive but equally you certainly get what you pay for.
The price has been described as indecent, but for a once in a
lifetime experience, it can easily be justified.

If you can take a balcony room, you might get an upgrade. The
best way to describe the Chevre d'Or is to say that it is
terraced into the side of the mountain, with lovely statues and
fountains everywhere.

You will discover the service is amazing, and much better than
you will find in even the best hotels worldwide never mind any
other French Riviera Hotel.

Allow yourself to be pampered, and you probably won't want to
leave the hotel. There is a lovely pool to relax by, which is
one level below the restaurant and some of the balcony rooms are
another level up from that, or you can just laze on the balcony
and enjoy the view, or even just sit in your Jacuzzi tub.

Balcony rooms have a sitting room with a glass door onto the
balcony. The Jacuzzi is in the bathroom, and lots of windows,
all with views to die for.

If you wander around the hotel it is so easy to get lost in
what is almost a maze of medieval steps between one part of the
hotel and another. It will take all of ten minutes to realize
that this part of your vacation in France is as close to
perfection as you can get.

The Chateau Chevre d'Or is famed for its food, having a
legendary Chevre d'Or gourmet restaurant and if you can get a
package deal then this should include at least one meal here.

Otherwise breakfast is a delicious buffet at the terrace
restaurant called Les Ramparts where you can also have lunch. On
the other hand you could have a light lunch off the pool at Le
Café du Jardin. There is another and cheaper option to the
gourmet restaurant and that is at Le Grill, or of course you
could always end your romantic getaway weekend break with a meal
served on your balcony.

There is one thing for sure you will know that in the Chevre
d'Or you have made the best choice possible of a French Riviera
Hotel, and you won't want to leave.

================== ARTICLE START ==================
There are so many different cars around these days, and the
general public only really knows about half of them. Everyone
knows about the regular car companies. People know all about
these car makers and they also know about the standards they can
expect from these companies. There are also other car companies
that most people know about, but only a half of the population
would ever have the finances to own one of their cars. The
general public only knows the name of these cars, and not much
about what makes them a quality vehicle.

After those two groups of cars, there is another group that
most of the population would never be able to afford, and most
people also do not know a lot about these cars. In fact, some
people may not even know that some of these cars even exist. The
cars I'm talking about are more than luxury cars, more than
sports cars, and more money than four or five "regular" cars put
together! Here are the top ten most expensive cars in the world:

Bugatti Veyron - With a price tag of $1,700,000, there aren't
too many people who you will see driving this vehicle around
town. With "1001" horsepower, this car has a 16.4 engine and it
can get up to a speed of 400 kilometers per hour. This car was
built by a subsidiary of Volkswagon in France, and it took years
to perfect.

Ferrari Enzo - This sports car costs 1,000,000, and is also
known as the Enzo Ferrari or the F60. It was built with Formula
One Technology in 2003. This car and its brand name basically
speaks for itself in the racing world.

Pagani Zonda C12 F - Weighing in at $741,000, this car is still
too expensive for the average person to own, and probably the
above average person as well! It sports a 7.3 V12 engine that
has been passed down by its predecessors.

Koenigsegg CCX - This sports car will cost you $600,910 to buy,
and it is worth every penny. The Competition Coupe X (CCX)
commemorates the anniversary of the completion and first test
drive of the first CC car in 1996. It has a 32 valve V-8 engine
that was based on the Ford Modular engine design.

Porsche Carrera GT - This car has a price tag of $484,000.
Labeled as a super car, this German made sports car has a 5.7
liter, V10 engine. It also boasts a 612 SAE horsepower.

Mercedes SLR McLaren - Weighing in at a price of $455,00, this
car is still too expensive to drive around town. The "SLR" in
its name stands for "Sportlich, Leicht, Rennsport", which is
German for "Sport; Light; Racing". This car has a 5.5, V8
engine.

Maybach 62 - This car will cost a more affordable $385,250.
This is also the first of the above listed vehicles that is not
a sports car. The Maybach 62 is known as an ultra-luxurious car,
and was designed with a hired driver in mind.

Rolls-Royce Phantom - This luxury car costs $320,00, and it is
one of he most well known brand names of the luxury car
business. The Phantom was made in 2003, and it was the first to
be made under the BMW name.

Lamborghini Murcielago - This sports car costs $279,900 to buy,
and is a lot more affordable than the above sports vehicles!
This car will definitely turn heads and has a 6.5 liter engine.

Aston Martin Vanquish - This super car will cost you $255,000
to buy, and it was featured as the official James Bond car in
one of his films. This sports car has a 5.5 liter V12 engine.

What makes these cars so expensive? A combination of things
contributes to the price tags of these vehicles. One part is the
years of work that went into designing and making them. Another
part would be the brand name of each car. Add to that the power
of the engines, and the style of the cars, and you have the
reason for the expensive price tags.
