Antique German Cuckoo Clocks
By Marc Wiedmaier


Antique cuckoo clocks are highly popular. Since the early 1700s, cuckoo clocks have become a highly popular collector's item.

Finding an original antique piece from the earlier days, and one that is in working condition can be very expensive. Although German cuckoo clocks today are made with the same perfect quality and hand carving methods, it is still very hard to replace an authentic antique. In auction houses, antique cuckoo clock bids can easily reach millions, provided that the cuckoo clock is certified. Many cuckoo clocks in mint condition have gone for several millions of dollars when auctioned. Antique cuckoo clocks can still be found in many auctions and boutiques all around the world, and if they are authentic they will carry with them a certificate of authenticity, as well as the whimsical scenes and beautiful chimes and music.

You should be very careful if you are planning to purchase an antique cuckoo clock that carries a certificate of authenticity.

Replicas of these clocks can be found readily in online auction sites as well as stores around the world. Just be sure that if you are looking for an antique then an antique piece is what you should get. If you are fortunate enough to already own an antique cuckoo clock, then you should work on its quality and take good care of it. Genuine, working condition antiques are very difficult to get. True German Black Forest antique cuckoo clocks are of high value and worth every penny. Those of you who own one already know a bit of history from that long ago era. Consider yourself fortunate to be among the few people who have that little asset of history in their homes.

Prioritize Urgent RSS Feeds When Time is Short

Is this done by creating priority folders, or tags? For example a @daily tag for the woot! deals?

Prioritize Urgent RSS Feeds When Time is Short

Lifehacker are my most troublesome of feeds, you guys post more than my other 15 feeds combined! And I'm far too anal not to read them all.

Prioritize Urgent RSS Feeds When Time is Short

Re: prioritizing by urgency: I've found that it's easiest for me to sub to my most important feeds via iGoogle (three or so top ones in news, productivity, etc., and half a dozen or so in my industry), and the rest through Google Reader. The high-priority stuff takes under five minutes - I keep each tab tight enough that I can read everything without scrolling - and is integrated into my morning e-mail routine, and the lower level stuff is part of my daily wrapup. Spending half an hour or so reading the blogs is a nice thing to look forward to, a way to transition from work headspace to home headspace, and if there's anything there that is urgent or important, I can e-mail it to myself, think about it overnight, and address it first thing in the morning. The discrete barrier keeps that quick check from drifting into a drawn-out browsing session, and the end of the workday is an effective tickle to wrap up my discretionary browsing.


These are some good tips. I have to admit I haven't played around with Google Reader as much as I probably should!
