Jul. 23--At the park before sunup, Harry Hoke, Jim Doolan and Tiffany Bracelet on sale Heaton were acting like three teens wrapped in the skin of retirees.Recently Hoke and Heaton found two identical 2001 class rings on separate hunts. Both rings belonged to Jon Sokoll of Fremont, who had lost the first at Fremont Lakes State Park, bought a replacement and subsequently lost the other in the same park.Sometimes they come up empty. In the short hours of the morning, Hoke had found two thin dimes and a recent set of military dog tags. Doolan found a silver hoop earing and a penny. Heaton found $4.51 in the sand at the playground.Jul. 23--At the park before sunup, Harry Hoke, Jim Doolan and Ken Heaton were acting like three teens wrapped in the skin of retirees.While Harry and Jim bickered good naturedly, Heaton mimicked a cat on the other side of the fence."Meooooow, meoooooow," he called.Then the park ranger at Lake Icaria, near Corning, Iowa, opened the gates and the boys gathered their things and headed for the beach.Excitement filled the air as the sun peeked over the concession stand.Hoke and Doolan went straight for the water. Heaton went to the playground.The three have shared friendship and the hobby of metal detecting for years. And they have taken it one step further by outfitting themselves with underwater gear."That's what we like about searching in the water in the summer; it's cool," Hoke said as the thermometer neared 100 degrees.But getting to the beach, in the water and finding lost Tiffany Bangle on sale is only half the fun for the trio.Turning from metal detectors to detectives, they find the loot and then go about trying to figure out how to return lost items.Recently Hoke and Heaton found two identical 2001 class rings on separate hunts. Both rings belonged to Jon Sokoll of Fremont, who had lost the first at Fremont Lakes State Park, bought a replacement and subsequently lost the other in the same park.
When they returned the rings, Sokoll was absolutely flabbergasted, Hoke said.Hoke, who is the president of the Midwest Historical Collectors club, has also returned a ring to a graduate that had given the ring to his girlfriend.The girl lost the ring and it stayed lost until Hoke found it 48 years later. When he returned the ring to the Bellevue man he found that his girlfriend had kept her promise, despite losing the ring, and they were still happily married."It gives you a great feeling of satisfaction when you can return a lost ring. To me, it's worth much more than the money I could have had by selling the ring," Hoke said.Hoke has spent years researching rings and yearbooks and countless hours on the road and Tiffany Ring on sale trying to find owners.Yet, not everything can be returned. Diamond rings, watches, jewelry, and coins are the usual. There is no possible way of locating an owner with most items. The trio has found everything from a half- carat diamond ring set in a gold band to gold teeth.Valuable and unusual items are rare, but each find renews the trio's excitement for their hobby.Sometimes they come up empty. In the short hours of the morning, Hoke had found two thin dimes and a recent set of military dog tags. Doolan found a silver hoop earing and a penny. Heaton found $4.51 in the sand at the playground."Some days we have to rely on camaraderie for reward because you've only found two cents," Hoke said
When I left the three men, they went right back in the lake seeking their treasure. But they had infected me with the fever.On the way back to the truck, soaked to the bone, I found a quarter in the grass. Suddenly the discomfort of soggy bottoms and biting flies went away. No, I am not searching for the owner.--Metal detector's etiquetteDon't trespass. Disrespecting private property gives the sport a bad name and can result in forfeiting your find, or worse.Fill in your holes and replace turf as you can. Try to leave your site as you found it.Check with local officials and park rangers for regulations on hunting on public land.Dispose of unwanted items properly. Throwing it back in the water can be a safety hazard and a pain for other detectors.--Midwest Historical DetectorsWhen: The group meets the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m.Where: The Omaha Tiffany Pendant on sale Library main branch at 215 S. 15th St.What to bring: The club has a display of items found each month by its members for help in identifying unusual items or for bragging rights.Contact: Call Harry Hoke, club president, at (402) 330-1055.The disturbing pan of this story for me is the fact that anti-gay groups, such as the ones placing these advertisements, have decided to use hate speech as a political tool to divide Minnesotans," [Satveer Chaudhary] asserted.The letter asked if Sen. Chaudhary spent his rime at the Capitol, "earing curry all day," and included a photo of the senator with what appears to be a bullet hole drawn on his forehead. The letter included a return address and name that was investigated by Capitol security and determined to be false, the release said.
NEW YORK -- Tiffany & Co. stepped up efforts against Overstock.com, filing five lawsuits in one day against the Salt Lake City-based online retailer.The complaints, which were filed on Jan. 19 in Discount Tiffany Key federal court, center on the sale of bracelets and necklaces incorporating what Tiffany alleges are knockoffs of its popular Open Heart and Bean pendants.The accusations include trademark infringement, copyright infringement and use of false designations of origin. Tiffany is seeking $150,000 in statutory damages as well as an unspecified amount in punitive damages in each case.Overstock.com did not comment on the matter by press time.The new complaints bring the number of lawsuits Tiffany has pending against Overstock up to six.The heart and bean pendant designs were the focus of Tiffany's original suit, filed on Oct. 17, 2003, in which the company accused Overstock and a Canadian-based shipping operation of knowingly selling counterfeit items to customers of its Web site as genuine Tiffany products. According to the complaint, the pendants were advertised on the Web site as Tiffany products and were sent to customers in the distinctive "Tiffany Blue" packaging.In an amended complaint filed on Nov. 20, 2003, Tiffany accused Overstock of using a forged invoice in an effort to prove to customers that the items on its site were legitimate Tiffany products. Included Discount Tiffany Key Ring the complaint was an e-mail that Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com's chairman and president, sent customers who had purchased the "Tiffany Sterling Silver Heart Pendant" assuring them of its legitimacy.According to Byrne's e-mail, Overstock sold several thousand pendants in a matter of days. However, some of those customers then took the pendants to Tiffany stores and were informed the products were counterfeit."We conducted a secondary investigation into the lineage of these pendants, confirming Tiffany as the source," said Byrne in the letter, going on to provide a Web link to an alleged invoice from Tiffany.
"Why might an employee of any store disclaim our product, if it were genuine? I am not commenting on any particular company's practices when I say: It is common in this industry," said Byrne.Byrne also addressed complaints about imperfections some customers had noticed in the pendants, saying that due to the high volume of product being shipped it was "not unusual" that items were damaged. However, customer complaints prompted the company to take another look at the items. "Because of these letters we reinspected the inventory and noticed that some of the pendants have small cosmetic blemishes Discount Tiffany Set might be unacceptable to some customers, whereas some (such as myself) would probably not notice them," said Byrne.Overstock.com received a cease and desist letter from Tiffany's legal representative with Dorsey & Whitney LLP on Oct. 7, 2003. Jonathan E. Johnson, Overstock's lawyer, responded in a letter dated Oct. 10, assuring Tiffany's lawyer that "Overstock.com's confidential source has repeatedly assured Overstock.com that the pendant was a genuine Tiffany product." The letter also made reference to Overstock's "second investigation into the lineage of the pendant," confirming Tiffany as the producer.The recent decision of the luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co to take action against the online auction provider Ebay demonstrates the uneasy relationship between brand owner and online retailer.
The dispute concerns the sale of fake Tiffany jewellery by individuals using the Ebay auction. Tiffany argues that the large number of counterfeits being sold through Ebay and the profit it receives through the sale of these products make the auction house responsible. As the law stands it seems that Tiffany faces an uphill struggle in proving its case against Ebay, and yet in the UK alone more than L26 million is lost across all sectors to counterfeiters every day. The most effective way of dealing with counterfeits is to identify the source of supply. Adopting a targeted strategy of civil and Discount Tiffany Watch actions against counterfeiters can secure judgments and vital information regarding the supply chain.Paul Randle explains how companies can prevent their markets being swamped with fake products which inevitably damage their original brandE-commerce has created significant opportunities for brand owners to offer and sell their products to a vast number of potential customers throughout the world. But with this opportunity comes a potential loss of control of the brand. The recent decision of the luxury jeweller Tiffany & Co to take action against the online auction provider Ebay demonstrates the uneasy relationship between brand owner and online retailer.
Investors have bid up the shares of Tiffany & Co. so much that tiffany may have a hard time viewing the jewelers' report today as anything but flawed.Tiffany shares have shone over the past three months, rising 23%. The rally began late in August, when the company posted quarterly results that topped estimates and raised its outlook for the year.Much of the improvement came from Japan, where sales unexpectedly began to rise after years of flagging. Because Japan represents about a fifth of Tiffany's sales, many investors have looked at the company's shares as a Japan play. With the Nikkei continuing to rally -- since the end of August the index is up 20% -- the assumption is that Tiffany's Japan business continued to improve.But Fulcrum Global Partners analyst Stacey Widlitz points out that the company's year-over-year sales comparisons in Japan for the quarter ended Oct. 31 won't be easy. She thinks that sales at stores that have been open a year or more will come in flat, and could turn negative again.If sales did decline, investors may misconstrue it as a sign that Tiffany isn't sharing in Japan's recovery. From there, it's easy to spin a theory of how Tiffany is getting hurt by Japanese consumers' growing preference for European luxury brands over American ones.But after a heady first half of the year, overall Japanese consumer spending appears to have slowed in the Tiffany Earring sale quarter. Only in October -- the final month of Tiffany's quarter -- does it look like spending got back on track. With businesses stepping up their hiring plans and with women in their 20s and 30s playing a larger role in the Japanese labor market, any disappointment shareholders have with Tiffany's Japan business could mark a buying opportunity.Another cause for concern might be Tiffany's U.S. business. Tiffany has benefited from a market in which well-heeled consumers -- better insulated from high energy prices and cheered by soaring home values -- have been more willing to spend than their poorer counterparts.
Weekly consumer surveys conducted by ABC News show that confidence among those better-off consumers eroded during the period covered by Tiffany's latest quarter. It's possible they may have bought fewer of the company's baubles as a result.NEW YORK -- Tiffany & Co. stepped up efforts against Overstock.com, filing five lawsuits in one day against the Salt Lake City-based online retailer.The complaints, which were filed on Jan. 19 in Manhattan federal court, center on the sale of bracelets and necklaces incorporating what Tiffany alleges are knockoffs of its popular Open Heart and Bean Tiffany CuffLink sale The accusations include trademark infringement, copyright infringement and use of false designations of origin.

Direct sales isn't a new approach for Google in handling large advertisers. Though many of Google's 23,000 employees have technical jobs, the company says it also has several thousand salespeople who Discount Tiffany Set with Fortune 500 companies, small and medium-sized businesses and ad agencies on text and graphical ad campaigns, among other things.To reach local businesses, Google has already built relationships through Web pages it developed last year for them on its search engine. Known as "Place pages," they list basic information, such as the location on a map and a summary of customer reviews.Google's new sales reps are primarily selling two ad offerings called "tags" and "boost" to the four million businesses that have contacted Google electronically to verify the accuracy of their Place page. The ads show up on Google search results and in Google Maps that display local businesses.When Facebook earlier this year began its own effort to establish relationships with local businesses, known as Facebook Places, its Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said the social network would compete with Google's offerings but added that the local market is huge. A Google executive said he welcomed Facebook's moves.Links to Place pages on Google's search engine recently became more prominent on the results page for searches covering everything from Italian restaurants to spas. That Discount Tiffany Watch put Google into conflict with some business-review sites that generate revenue from local businesses, such as Citysearch.com, which claim Google is crimping their sites' growth by directing more Web searchers to its Place pages. Google executives say the changes are meant to improve users' experience and they believe the changes have generally helped direct more users to non-Google sites that specialize in local-business information.
Mr. Sterling said he expects Google to offer more opportunities for local businesses to reach consumers, perhaps through Groupon-type daily deals. In addition, Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said recently that Google's Android software for mobile devices could help people use those devices to pay for goods at a local store, rivaling credit cards."Google has always had large sales forces and, quite frankly, the advertiser opportunity has always been bigger than the number of people we were able to hire," said David Scacco, who joined Google as the first advertising sales executive in 2000. But he tiffany Google co-founder Larry Page stressed from the beginning the "need to build automation," or allowing advertisers to buy ads through a self-serve system rather than just hiring scores of salespeople to reach the advertisers.Mr. Scacco, who is now chief revenue officer at MyLikes, a social-media ad company, said Mr. Page would tell Google's ad team: "If you only throw people at the problem, you won't innovate."When Edgar Renteria hit the three-run homer in the seventh inning of the clinching Game 5, Mr. Mays's friends cheered, but, Ms. Goins recalls, "Willie showed no emotion." Willie won a World Series ring in 1954, when his signature over-the-shoulder catch in Game 1 propelled the New York Giants to a championship over the Cleveland Indians.
Author: James S. HirschThere were moments during the San Francisco Giants' final World Series game last month that Willie Mays could simply no longer watch. In his den, amid the framed magazine covers, the yellowing photographs, and the sturdy plaques that line his walls, he would lift himself out of his easy chair and take his poodle ("Giant Too") for a walk."He was a different Willie," says Jessie Goins, one of several friends who watched the game with Mr. Mays at his Bay Area home. He said very little, even during the most exciting moments. When Edgar Renteria hit the three-run homer in the Tiffany Earring inning of the clinching Game 5, Mr. Mays's friends cheered, but, Ms. Goins recalls, "Willie showed no emotion."Of course not. There were still three innings left, and Willie had been close before."I didn't think we'd ever win a World Series," he would later say.Willie Mays, who turns 80 in May, is the greatest living ballplayer. He's also the link that connects the Giant championship team of today with its rich heritage in New York, a reminder of both the glory and the disappointments of the franchise. As a lifetime employee with the Giants, Mr. Mays now serves as an ambassador for the organization--visiting minor-league teams, hobnobbing with investors, or attending every home game at AT&T Park, which itself is a semi-shrine to the Say Hey Kid. The park's address is 24 Willie Mays Plaza, and a magnificent nine-foot bronze statue of Mr. Mays stands in front.
