| Wednesday, July 5, 2006  I hope you enjoyed the 4th of July. It's always a pleasure to enjoy the wonder on the children's faces as they watch the fireworks. Speaking of wonder on people's faces - isn't it great when you make a connection with someone who is unaware that you have a jewelry business? Especially when the next statement that follows suggests that they were looking to buy a piece of jewelry! Never overlook opportunities to make connections for your business. Even when you least expect it. |

| What happens when an eBay steal is a fake
Loretta Chao - Wall Street Journal - Jun. 29, 2006 11:53 AM
A Gucci wallet for $120. A Burberry scarf for $32. A pair of Tiffany earrings for $35. If prices like that for some of the hottest luxury brands seem unreal, it very well may be because the goods themselves aren't real. More

SALESPERSON ATTACKED IN HOTEL PARKING LOT
Amarillo, TX – June 26, 2006
A traveling salesperson was attacked by four or more Hispanics in a hotel parking lot. The salesperson, who had driven six hours from Albuquerque, NM, was pushed to the ground and suffered scratches and bruises. When the suspects first attacked the salesperson's secure, reinforced car trunk, they set off the car alarm, but were unable to get in the trunk. They then used crowbars for 15 minutes until they were able to enter the trunk and take the line.

| The Work of Jay Song
by Tacey Rosolowski [Metalsmith Magazine - Summer 2002] Ganoskin Jay Song affirms, "My experiences are memories, but they accumulate in my body." Living in the United States, far from her native Korea, Song externalizes her memories in personally symbolic rings. Yet, with their interactive elements, these ornaments also draw in the wearer and viewer by generating tensions between visible surfaces and concealed interiors. Song's rings use hands as expressive sites where 'the memories that no one can see become visible-they are alive." More
