A nimble and lightweight road racer, the PR breaking Saucony Type A5 features minimal cushioning and a firm ride.
Lead the pack in the Saucony Grid Type A5. This racing flat is lighter than ever with super thin overlays that hug your feet without heating them up. A thin, flexible midsole provides great feel for the ground while still protecting you from the sting of the pavement. Lace up, get out, and get ahead.
Model Number:
Weight: 5.8 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (16mm), Forefoot (12mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The Grid Type A5 is a moderate featured, lightweight racing flat designed for neutral or supinating runners.
Comments: Just a great shoe. If you want to barefoot this is the shoe.You will not hurt yourself if hitting a sharp object. Its enough between your foot and ground so that you run safely. 4mm drop and 160g / 5.6oz. Very good fit. I just love it. Just bought my second pair to use indoors. A definite buy.
From: Stefan, Sweden
Comments: I really like the structure of these shoes, they're light and firm but still provide decent forefoot support. However, I do have a problem with the upper, in the the mesh is thin and slightly brittle, such that they've ripped on me, so I need to replace them far sooner than I would have and not with another pair of these. I also agree with the "Great shoes if you have 4 toes," comment, and I too do not have wide feet.
From: Mike, San Francisco
Comments: The description claims that this flat has a firm ride, but that is entirely incorrect. It's a flat with minimal cushioning and a soft ride. I really enjoy training in the Type A5 because I workout in a non-responsive shoe then race in a responsive one. Love this thing!
From: Zachary
Comments: These shoes have everything going right for it except width. Although I don't have wide feet, I like having room for my toes to wiggle and splay. Felt like my pinky toe was going to burst out. Back to true minimal wide shoes for me. Great shoes if you have 4 toes.
From: Kishore, Seattle, WA, USA
Comments: The BEST shoe i have ever run with!!! :)
From: Seb, Riverside, CA, USA
Comments: Great shoe! I have been a fan of the A series from the A2. Irecently ran a marathon in them though and the elastic on the side thatpulls down the tongue wore on my foot a little too much. Besides that, these shoes put up great with way too many miles on them.
From: Mike
Comments: My go-to shoe for anything under about 8 miles. LOVE these. I size up about a .5 size (for comparison, I like my Kinvaras true to size...weird). Fast shoe, flexible, and just barely enough under foot. Lotsa PRs in these. Holding up pretty well too; these actually have some rubber on the sole and not just exposed EVA like some other lightweight flats. A solid buy.
From: Anonymous
Comments: These so are so light! A great minimalistic type shoe with a low drop. I really like the mesh
construction of the upper. They are not seamless (nor do they claim to be) so you have to wear socks with them. The only thing I'd like to see more of on this shoe is a slightly wider toe box. I ended up using a Lydiard Lacing pattern for a comfortable fit.

Learn More About Kayaks
Finding The Right Kayak For The Water
Heading to the water? Your adventure on the water begins with a kayak from DICK'S Sporting Goods.
Kayaking is a great outdoor activity for all ages and skill levels. Paddle sports can help improve cardiovascular health as well as muscle strength throughout the body. Plus, many kayakers enjoy scenic views and peaceful waters-it's a perfect way to relax and take in nature.
Recreational kayaks are easy to use and maneuver in the water. More specialized vessels, including whitewater and fishing kayaks, are designed with utility in mind. When choosing your kayak, think about your skill level and water environment as well as storage and transportation needs.
- Sit-In Kayaks are "traditional kayaks," designed with an interior seat. They offer easy paddling on the water and can feature storage space for your belongings.
- Inflatable Kayaks make storage a breeze-just deflate your vessel and skip the boat rack. These kayaks are stable and effective on the water, made with high-quality, abrasion-resistant materials as well as multiple air chambers.
- Sit-on-Top Kayaks are great for beginners or those who may have difficulty getting in and out of traditional kayaks.
- Fishing Kayaks often come with rod holders, built-in tackle boxes and other storage features for anglers. They also offer extra stability-so anglers can stand up to cast or get a better view of activity below the surface.
- Whitewater Kayaks are compact and agile for taking on rapids and more technical water conditions. Skilled kayakers can best handle these boats.
Shop some of the top brands in paddle sports for a vessel you can count on, including Perception Sport®, Pelican®, Airhead® and Sea Eagle®.
Expert Advice
Paddling a kayak is an especially unique means of adventuring in the great outdoors.
Today's kayaks are equipped with performance features that help you make the most of your time on the water. You can get ample seating room, storage space and excellent durability in the latest vessels.
Keep these factors in mind when selecting your new kayak:
- The longer and narrower your kayak is, the faster and easier it will be to maneuver. Compact kayaks, meanwhile, offer more stability on the water.
- The weight capacity of kayaks can vary greatly, so consult product information for your vessel's specifics. Remember that this capacity includes both the boater's body weight and any additional items aboard the kayak.
- Kayaks come with several different hull types. Streamlined hulls are called "shallow V," and they provide exceptional maneuverability. Wide, balanced hulls are called "pontoon," and "multi-chine" hulls offer a balance of agility and stability.
Shop kayaks or paddle boards for hours of excitement on the water.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

The average rental price in E 86th St / Lexington Ave is currently $2,908, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. The average rental cost in this neighborhood is higher than 98.0% of the neighborhoods in New York.
E 86th St / Lexington Ave is a densely urban neighborhood (based on population density) located in New York, New York.
E 86th St / Lexington Ave real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom) apartment complexes/high-rise apartments and single-family homes. Most of the residential real estate is occupied by a mixture of owners and renters. Many of the residences in the E 86th St / Lexington Ave neighborhood are older, well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of residences were also built between 1970 and 1999.
E 86th St / Lexington Ave has a 16.9% vacancy rate, which is well above average compared to other U.S. neighborhoods (higher than 79.2% of American neighborhoods). Most vacant housing here is vacant year round.

Thunder Bay Welcomes National Women's Volleyball Team
Thunder Bay Welcomes National Women's Volleyball Team
Thunder Bay, Ontario and Lakehead University are excited to welcome the Canadian Women's National Indoor Team on February 5th and 6th, 2011, for what is sure to be a jam-packed volleyball weekend in the region!
The National Team players and coaches will be participating in on court coach and player development clinics with local athletes and coaches that are being put on by the Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA), as well as participate in a scrimmage against Lakehead University on Sunday, February 6th. These events are taking part due to a funding that the OVA was awarded from the Ontario Trillium Foundation in 2008. The Trillium funding has allowed the OVA to purchase twelve sport courts and will assist the organization in enabling more communities across Ontario to host large-scale volleyball events by using the sport court.
"The funding has allowed Ontario Volleyball to deliver programming to a community that may not otherwise have the opportunity to host an elite or international caliber event," said Ontario Volleyball Executive Director, Steve Carroll. "Because of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Ontario Volleyball was able to bring the Women's National Team to Thunder Bay and make this weekend possible."
The region is very excited about the opportunity to see some high calibre volleyball, with turnout for the weekend promising to be high. Dubbed 'Thunder Volley Weekend,' Lakehead University will also play a match against the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees women's volleyball team, and will be hosting a large girl's high school tournament on February 4th and 5th, 2011.
"This is an exciting time for Volleyball in North Western Ontario and for us at Lakehead University," said Chris Green, Head Coach of the Lakehead Thunderwolves Women's Volleyball Team. "Through the Ontario Volleyball Association, the Canadian National Women's Team and funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, our region's players, coaches and fans get to experience the absolute highest level of athletes in our sport."
The National Team is hoping the weekend will not only have a positive effect on volleyball in the region, but also be motivating for the team itself.
"It is important that we expose ourselves to the whole country. It is a great motivation for young players when they see National Team athletes in person and even more when they have the chance to practice with them," said Women's National Team Head Coach, Arnd Ludwig. "We hope that more girls will play volleyball by doing these events. For us, it is motivating to go somewhere just to get out of the day- today routine and we thank Thunder Bay for helping us in doing this."
More information will be made available in the coming weeks, so be sure to stay tuned on this exciting initiative.

Not The SameI bought this because I absolutely LOVED the John Frieda version. This has a very odd and strong chemical smell. The other one had a pleasant summer-ish coconut oil smell.Aug 29, 2010Patty

Beach In A BottleI've heard several employees here at Folica rave about this spray, but I never tried it for myself...until today. A generous spritz all over my clean dry hair left me with a breezy, piecey look. It smells fantastic, not just like coconuts, but like exotic coconuts. Love the colors of the bottle, too (so fun to have on the shelf!). I'll be using it again for sure.Aug 24, 2010Jan / Folica.comHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

The Ingredients Are The Same As John Frieda's Ocean Waves!For those reviewers who said that this product is nothing like John Frieda's, I hate to tell you, but it's the same product. I had an old bottle of John Frieda's Ocean Waves and compared it to the Sedu product and just about every single "active" ingredient was the same. The only difference was a few color and fragrance potions. This could explain why some people say it smells differently (altho I find it smells almost the same, perhaps with a little less of a coconut smell). As for how the product works, it's the best wave producing spray on the market as far as I'm concerned. I've tried just about every single "Wave Enhancer" or "Sea Salt Spray" and none of them gave me the same results the Sedu does. I used John Frieda's Ocean Waves religiously, and Sedu's Beach Beauty Sea Salt Spray is the closest I've come to that product. if you loved John Frieda's Ocean Waves and have been missing that product, I highly recommend trying Sedu's Beach Beauty Sea Salt Spray!!Jul 18, 2010Jj S. / ChicagoHAIR TYPEGrey / Dry Hair / Curly Hair

Not For You If You Have Straight Hair.Been trying forever to get natural waves, consistent failure and this is no exception. Don't bother if you have straight hair, stick to wavers and curling irons. However I have heard good things about it for other people with more texture to their hair.Jun 6, 2010Silpa

Amazing Curls/waves To My Pin Straight Hair!!!!i love this stuff!!!! i just used this product for the first time and i love it!!! i have long limp pin straight hair that i love having, but i sometimes want wave to my hair. i have tried musses, gels, and hair balms and they all seem to make my hair kinky, frizzy, and poofy but this product did the trick!!!! my hair is now shiny, has beach waves, feels weightless, and smells coconutty, but it didnt take long to do at all. all i did was follow the directoins on the back of the bottle for long hair: 1. finger curled sections of my hair (8 total around my head) 2. let it set for 5 minutes 3. then i put 2 curls in my diffuser at a time 4. scrunch and tousel all in about 15-20 minutes!!!! buy this product its absolutley a life saver to my limp hair!!!!Jun 4, 2010Maddie G.

Not Exactly What I Wanted...I like this spray, but I don't love it. I used to use John Frieda's Beach Blonde surf spray or whatever it was called, and I LOVED it but I haven't been able to find it in a long time. I wanted to try this one first since it is cheaper than some of the other sprays (like Bumble and Bumble) and it works alright, but the smell is strong. It works okay, but not as well as the John Frieda, on my hair at least.May 25, 2010GraceHAIR TYPEBlonde

Nice Performance/awful SmellI have used all the sea salt sprays, and I think they are the perfect texturizer for fine hair. Since they can be very drying, I tried Sedu, because it seemed to address this problem. The verdict? I love its performance for my fine hair, which I wash, tousle, and wear, AND expect to look healthy and shiny. But I cannot stand the smell. My husband even commented (when I was about 15' away) that I smelled like "cheap suntan oil." Back to Bumble and Bumble.Apr 6, 2010Laura

Completely Satisfied!After browsing around for a beach salt spray, I came across this one. Sedu is a trusted name, and I own their flat iron and dryer. So I decided to give this one a try and I love it! I have slightly wavy hair when air dried, and straight hair when dried using a blow dryer. Whenever I'm short on time after a shower, I spray this to my damp hair and I get beach wind-blown, sexy hair! I love it so much! Smells awesome too. Smells like vanilla, maybe a little bit of coconut to me. I've used other products before but they made my hair look frizzy, when I don't even have frizzy hair. This product sells fast. I'm planning on ordering several more so I never run out!Apr 2, 2010Joanne

Waste Of Moneythis spray did absolutely nothing, other than make my hair smell like rubber or something. im not quite sure what the exact smell is but its definitely not a good smell.. the spray did not enhance my natural wave at all and i always had to straighten my hair after using it because otherwise it looked terrible. do yourself a favor and pass this one up, trust me.Apr 2, 2010Tara

Elevate your look with these enchanting and elegant dangle earrings! Crafted from oxidized polished sterling silver, each earring features a cluster of various gemstones at the bottom of the dangle hoops. All gemstones come in bezel settings.
Each earring includes the following gemstones:
The total equivalent gemstone weight is approximately 2.62ct. Measuring 1-11/16"L x 13/16"W, the earrings feature French hooks.MATCHING ITEM:
Complete the look with the matching pendant 125-428.
The earrings come with a polish cloth, warranty card and microfiber pouch. Made in India.GEMSTONE ENHANCEMENTS:
All weights pertaining to diamond weights are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. Click here for important information about gemstone enhancements and special care requirements.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.
Amethyst, the most precious member of the quartz family, exhibits purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep purple, sometimes exhibiting reddish or rose overtones. Very deep-colored amethysts are the finest and most highly valued . Some stones are so over-saturated with color they have areas that are blacked out, which can negatively impact their value. Paler shades, sometimes called "Rose of France," were common in Victorian jewelry. Banding—darker and lighter zones of color—is also a common occurrence. Occasionally, amethyst is even found combined with its sister quartz, citrine, into a single stone called ametrine.
The birthstone for February, amethyst is an extremely popular gem for jewelry because of its regal color, variety of sizes and shapes, affordability and wide range of hues. It also is the recommended gem for couples celebrating their 6 th and 17 th wedding anniversaries. With a hardness of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale , a methyst can occur as long prismatic crystals that have six-sided pyramids at either end, or can form as drusies that are crystalline crusts that only show the pointed terminations.
The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst made one immune to the effects of alcohol. In fact, the name even comes from the Greek word amethystos, which means "not drunken." Legend has it that the amethyst originated from Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus became angry at the mortals and vowed that the next mortal to cross his path would be eaten by tigers. Amethyst, a beautiful young maiden, was on her way to worship the goddess, Diana. Diana turned her into colorless quartz to keep her from being eaten. Bacchus observed the miracle and repented his hasty decision. He poured wine over the young maiden, leaving her feet and legs colorless. This is the reason that amethyst crystals are usually uneven in color and have a colorless base at the bottom. Because amethyst was believed to prevent drunkenness, wine goblets were often carved from it in ancient Greece. Today, the gem still symbolizes sobriety.
Amethyst has been a part of history throughout the ages. Evidence suggests that prehistoric humans used amethysts for decoration as early as 25,000 B.C. Legends suggest that the Egyptian queen Cleopatra wore an amethyst signet ring, as did Saint Valentine, who bared an amethyst engraved with the figure of Cupid. During medieval times, people used the stone as medication to stay awake and alert. Leonardo Da Vinci claimed that amethyst could dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence. In some legends, the stone represents piety, celibacy and dignity. In the Middle Ages, for instance, the gem was an important ornamentation for the Catholic Church and other religions. It was considered the stone of bishops, and they still often wear amethyst rings. In Tibet, amethyst is considered sacred to Buddha and rosaries are often made from it. Amethyst has also long been a favorite of kings and queens for its royal purple hues that symbolize wisdom, strength and confidence. Amethysts are even featured in the British Crown Jewels and were worn by Catherine the Great.
Amethyst's availability and magical qualities make it the stone of preference in ancient lore and mysticism. As a meditation stone, it is said to quiet the mind, promote contemplation, sharpen psychic powers and uplift the spirit. It is a stone of deep wisdom. Folklore says it can quicken the wit, calm fears and ward off anger. It has a royal purple essence that is said to lend courage to travelers, scare off thieves and protect travelers from harm. Placed under the pillow or worn to bed, there are claims it promotes peaceful sleep and pleasant dreams. Amethyst can also be worn to supposedly make the wearer gentle, amiable and happy.
The stone is mined in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina, as well as in Zambia, Namibia and other African nations. Very dark amethyst in small sizes also is mined in Australia. But the ideal for fine quality amethyst was set by a Siberian variety, often called Russian or Uralian amethyst, which is now considered a defunct source. Generally, South American amethyst tends to come in larger sizes than African amethyst, but the African variety has a reputation for having deeper color intensity and is therefore considered more valuable. The African version also is harder to come by than amethyst mined from South America. Most of today's amethyst comes out of Brazil.
Lune de France is a very special variety of amethyst that rarely comes to market. From the northwest state of Amazon in Brazil, this gemstone comes from the Maraba mine. This lovely lilac gemstone features a unique velvet-like quality that at first observation can be confused for an opal or moonstone. The gemstone's internal structure contains natural, cloud-like veils of microscopic inclusions that are extremely minute, even under high power magnification. These inclusions cause the incoming light to scatter and reflect, thus creating an opalescent effect. While a similar inclusion structure can be expected in rose quartz, it almost never occurs in an amethyst. Lune de France features a natural lilac color and retains excellent transparency allowing it to be faceted for maximum light play.
Named from the French word for lemon, "citron," citrine is a variety of quartz available in a range of golden hues from lemon, to straw, to sun yellow, to deep gold, to orange, brown and deep red. Darker colors are more highly valued, including the medium golden-orange and dark-sherry colors, sometimes called Madeira citrine after the color of the wine.
Citrine crystals can form together with amethyst to form ametrine, or with smoky quartz to form bicolored quartz. Citrine is generally less expensive than amethyst, and is also available in a wide range of calibrated sizes and shapes, including very large sizes. Considered an alternative to topaz as the birthstone for November, it is also thought to be the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 13 th and 17 th wedding anniversaries. Citrine ranks a 7.0 on the Mohs Scale, and because of this durability, it is ideal for jewelry wear.
Citrine is found in volcanic rocks and quartz veins and owes its color to the presence of iron. Most citrine is mined in Brazil, but almost all of the Brazilian material is heat-treated amethyst. Supplies are most plentiful in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, particularly from the Serra Mine. The Ira' Mine also produces large quantities of the gem. Citrine can also be found in the Ural Mountains of Russia, in Dauphine, France, and in Madagascar.
In ancient times, citrine was carried as a protection against snake venom and evil thoughts. It was thought to give calmness and mental balance to its wearer. Throughout history, people have confused citrine for topaz. Many citrines were sold as topaz and thus thought to carry the same qualities, such as knowledge and beauty. Today, citrine symbolizes truth and integrity, and is believed to promote creativity and personal clarity. It is also believed to impart happiness and cheer to its wearer while raising self esteem, as well as cleanse, regenerate and attract abundance.
Iolite gets its name from its sensational color, using the Greek words ios (violet) and lithos (stone). The stone, often referred to as water sapphire, cordierite or dichroite, was used by the Vikings as a navigational tool and came to be known as "Vikings' Compass." When Viking explorers ventured far into the Atlantic Ocean, away from any coastline that could help them determine position, they were able to navigate safely by looking through iolite lenses that allowed them to find the exact position of the sun.
The property that made iolite so valuable to the Vikings was the gem's pleochroic property, which is the display of different colors when viewed from different directions (like a modern-day polarized filter used in sunglasses). A cube cut from iolite will look violet-blue from one side, clear as water from the other and honey yellow from the top.
Pleochroism may have been helpful in navigation, but it makes a gem cutter's job quite difficult. If iolite is not cut from exactly the right direction, its color will not show to its best advantage. When cut properly, the stone is usually a violet blue and can be obtained in sizes up to 5.00 carats relatively easily. Iolite ranks a 7.0-7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is readily available and affordable. Today, it is mined in Brazil, India, Mozambique, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. The Vikings probably mined iolite from deposits in Norway and Greenland.
Traditionally given as a 21 st anniversary gift, iolite is thought to bring harmony to relationships. It is also said to balance the masculine and feminine aspects of one's own character, bringing harmony and enabling that person to enjoy each moment. Iolite is believed to heighten psychic abilities by aiding and encouraging people along their spiritual paths. It is said to enhance curiosity and achievement, and aid in money management. Iolite is also believed to possess the power to guide lost sailors to the brilliance of the sun, so that they may find their way home.
Peridot features a lively yellow-green color that is transparent with an oily luster. The iron that creates peridot's color is an integral part of its structure, so the gem is only found in various shades of green. It is most prized in lime hues, but Italian peridot is a rich olive color and popular American peridot is a beautiful light yellow-green. The Romans called peridot "evening emerald" because its exquisite green color was said to glow at night. This is perhaps because the stone exhibits double refraction, meaning that when looking through the stone, objects appear double. So when looking into a faceted peridot, the number of bottom facets appears to be double the actual number, creating a glittering sensation.
Pronounced PEAR-A-DOE, the word "peridot" comes from the French word meaning "gem." It is the gem variety of the mineral olivine and ranks a 6.5-7.0 on the Mohs Scale.
Born in cauldrons of fire, peridot is considered the "volcanic gem," since small crystals of it are often found in the rocks created by volcanoes. In fact, Hawaiian legend called peridot the divine tears wept by Pele, goddess of the volcano. The island of Oahu even has beaches made out of olivine grains, but they are much too small to cut into peridot. Samples of the gem also have been discovered in meteorites that have fallen to Earth, many of which are more than a billion years old.
Peridot traces its jewelry roots to 3,500 years ago. The stone was first mined by the ancient Egyptians on the volcanic island of Zebargad in the Red Sea. Known as the "serpent isle," it was infested with poisonous snakes that interfered with mining activity until one Pharaoh had them all driven into the sea. Today, Native Americans mine most peridot on the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona. Interestingly, a lmost all peridot sold in Hawaii is from Arizona, despite the fact that peridot is produced by Hawaii's volcanoes. The gemstone is also found in Norway, Brazil, China, Egypt, Italy, Myanmar and Sri Lanka. An exciting new deposit was discovered in Pakistan in 1994, yielding some of the finest peridot ever seen, including one stone that weighed more than 300.00ct.
Peridot is among the oldest known stones and has been mined as a gem for thousands of years. As early as 1575 to 1350 B.C., the ancient Egyptians used peridot beads in their ceremonial jewelry. In fact, it is believed the stone was one of the favorite gems of Cleopatra and that some of the "emeralds" she wore were actually peridot.
Ancient Egyptians also carved small drinking vessels out of large chunks of peridot. Priests would drink soma from them in rituals, believing the soma would put them in touch with the nature goddess, Isis. Legend has it that King Soloman traded cedar trees from Lebanon for 12 soma drinking cups and 144 liters of soma. The Egyptians made this trade for ramp logs to build their pyramids at Gisa, while King Soloman was said to have been enlightened by drinking soma from the peridot cups. Today, Mexican hill tribes still drink soma from green glazed cups to put them in touch with nature and their ancestors' spirits. Additionally, some Native American Indians in Arizona use tea made from peyote ground with peridot crystals in their rituals.
Peridot has also been important to other cultures throughout history. Late in the Ottoman Empire (1300 to 1900), peridot was a highly prized gem and Turkish Sultans amassed some of the world's largest collections of the gemstone. It is mentioned in the Bible under the name of "chrysolite," and was used to decorate medieval churches with samples that were most likely carried back to Europe by the Crusaders. Large stones weighing more than 200.00ct adorn the Shrine of the Three Magi at the Cologne Cathedral in Germany.
Throughout the ages, peridot has been believed to hold mystical powers of protection and healing. The ancients regarded the stone as a symbol of the sun and wore it in amulets to prevent nightmares and drive away evil spirits. It was even favored by pirates to protect them against evil. Peridot was said to be useful for calming raging angers, curing nervous afflictions and promoting quiet sleep. It was also believed to strengthen any medicine drunk from goblets carved from the stone. South American Shamans used peridot to ward off snakebites and the evil spirits who have taken the form of mosquitoes who bring the sleeping sickness. They also say the heating of magic mushroom tea by peridot takes them on trips to the ancestor heavens.
Today, peridot is believed to bring the wearer success, peace and good luck. To be most powerful, it is said that the stone should be mounted in gold and surrounded with small diamonds. With powers that are thought to bring protection and health, modern folklore also says it can be used to attract love and calm anger while soothing nerves and dispelling negative emotions. T he gem is believed to protect the wearer from bad dreams when set in gold.
Peridot is considered the birthstone of August. Given as a symbol of fame, dignity and protection, this gem is also traditionally given to couples celebrating their 16 th wedding anniversaries.
Often referred to as the "Queen of Garnets," rhodolite is the violet-red variety of the garnet family. Its most prized color is a beautiful raspberry, but the gem can also be found in shades of pink, red and wine. The name is derived from the Greek words "rhodon" and "lithos," meaning rose-stone, which connects the gemstone today with the raspberry-pink flower known as the rhododendron.
Rhodolite is a combination of almandine and pyrope garnets. Although it is occasionally found in volcanic rock, the stone is most often found in alluvial deposits in the form of water-worn pebbles. For this reason, large solitaires weighing 5.00ct or more are seldom seen at retail. Most rhodolite is mined in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. It ranks a 7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is ideal for jewelry.
The ancients wore rhodolites as amulets for protection from injury or death in battles. Modern folklore says rhodolite can help one understand dreams, as well as bring about love and devotion when given as a gift.
A symbol of strength and intelligence, topaz derives its name from Topazios, an island in the Red Sea that is known today as Zabargad. The Greek word "topazios" means "to seek," since the island was covered with a thick fog and difficult to find. Gemstones found on the island were called topaz, although the stones were eventually found to actually be peridot. The real gem of topaz is found throughout the world, with different occurrences producing specific colors.
Brown, yellow, orange and red topaz are found in Brazil, Sri Lanka and Siberia. Most brownish topaz is heated to produce a permanent and glamorous pink color. Following the discovery of pink topaz in Russia during the 19th century, Imperial topaz was found. Featuring a sherry red, deep pink or reddish-orange color, the gem was so coveted that its ownership was restricted to the Czar, his family and those who received it as a royal gift. Today, Imperial shades are the most rare and, therefore, the most valuable.
Blue topaz is rarely found in nature and is most often created through a combination of heat treatment and irradiation. It is found in Brazil, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and China. Topaz is often colorless, too, and can be found in the United States, Mexico, Russia and Pakistan. In 1998, a new type of enhanced topaz made its appearance with a greenish-blue or emerald green color. All colors of topaz rank an 8.0 on the Mohs Scale of hardness.
Yellow topaz is November's birthstone and blue topaz is December's birthstone. Blue topaz is also the traditional gift for 4th and 19th wedding anniversaries, while Imperial topaz is celebrated as a 23rd anniversary gift. Perhaps the most famous topaz is a large, colorless stone known as the Braganza. It was discovered in Brazil in 1740 and was originally thought to be a priceless diamond. Today, the giant 1,680.00ct stone is set in the Portuguese Crown.
The mystery and allure of topaz goes back thousands of years. To the ancients, it was a symbol of love and affection and was thought to ward off sudden death. The Romans associated topaz with Jupiter, the god of the sun. The Greeks called it the Stone of Strength, believing it had the power to increase strength and make its wearer invisible in times of emergency. The Egyptians said the gem was colored with the golden glow of the sun god, Ra, making topaz a powerful amulet that protected its wearer against harm.
Topaz' mystical curative powers were believed to wax and wane with the phases of the moon. The gem was said to change color in the presence of poisoned food or drink and falcons were carved on the stones to help earn the goodwill of kings and magnates.
Today, topaz is said to be the gem that has the widest range of curative powers. It is believed to dispel enchantment and protect against negative emotions such as anger, fear, greed and envy. Its properties are supposedly enhanced when the gem is mounted in gold. Because of this association with gold, topaz is used to bring or enhance the wearer's money-gathering abilities and has long been used in money and wealth rituals.
Wearing topaz is said to improve and deepen relationships, promote patience, ensure fidelity and enhance the ability to love. The gem is also believed to bring friendship, intelligence, long life, beauty and a pleasant disposition.
No other gemstone discovery has made a bigger impact on the jewelry market than the recent newcomer, tanzanite. Its luscious color, and the fact that the stone is found in only one location throughout the world, makes tanzanite an exceptionally rare, valuable and highly sought-after gem.
Tanzanite's mesmerizing saturation of color is what has made the stone so popular. It is the blue variety of the mineral zoisite and occurs in a beautiful range of colors. Rarely pure blue, the gem almost always displays signature overtones of purple. In smaller sizes, it tends toward light tones such as lavender, while in larger sizes, the gem typically displays deeper, richer blues and purples. The finest quality tanzanite is usually deep blue or violet, which is extremely spectacular in sizes above ten carats.
Tanzanite is pleochroic, meaning it shows the appearance of several colors in the same stone, depending on perspective. From different angles, the gem can appear blue, purple, yellow, grey or brown. Most rough crystals show a large proportion of brown shades, since tanzanite in its natural form is typically brown with red, orange, yellow or bronze hues.
Gem cutters may change this coloring by heating the stone to 500°C. This heat treatment releases the intense violet-blue colors for which the stone is famous. According to legend, the effect of heat on tanzanite was first discovered when brown zoisite crystals were caught on fire by a lightning strike. Local cattle herders noticed the beautiful blue crystals sparkling in the sun and picked them up, becoming the first tanzanite collectors.
The gem was first discovered near the base of Mount Kilimanjaro in the Merelani Hills of east-African Tanzania in 1967. This breathtaking location is the only known mining site on Earth for tanzanite. Right after its discovery, New York jeweler Louis Comfort Tiffany was presented with the first stones. Knowing it was going to be a sensation, he recommended finding a new name for the gem, since the gemological denomination "blue zoisite" reminded him of the word "suicide." Tiffany suggested the name tanzanite, derived from its place of occurrence, and the new name quickly became established on the market. Tiffany & Co introduced the stone to the public in a spectacular promotional campaign two years after it had been discovered. It was enthusiastically celebrated as the "Gemstone of the 20th Century."
A noted 122.70ct faceted tanzanite dubbed the "Midnight Blue" is on display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. In 1996, a 255.00ct tanzanite crystal was discovered near Arusha, but because of its many inclusions, it proved to be of little market value. Tanzanite ranks a hardness of 6.5-7.0 on the Mohs Scale and has become the traditional gift for couples celebrating their 24th anniversaries.
High-quality and larger-size tanzanites can be sold at extremely premium prices. Although demand for this beautiful gem continues to grow, supply shortages in recent years have hampered production and caused price fluctuations. In 1998, the weather phenomenon known as "El Nino" soaked Tanzania with heavy rains during what should have been the drought period. When the monsoons hit, the groundwater swells were high and caused devastating floods. Mines caved in and all hopes of finding additional tanzanite rough were swept away.
Because it is such a new gemstone, there is little folklore, superstitions or healing properties surrounding tanzanite. Some believe the stone helps people to be more practical, realistic and honest. It is thought to uplift and open the heart while helping one cope with change.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

BLM Billings Seeks Comments on Forest Health Project
BILLINGS, Mont. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Billings Field Office has identified the need to improve forest health on public lands in the Boulder Watershed, located about 25 miles southwest of Big Timber, Mont., in the Absaroka-Beartooth mountain range. As a result, the BLM intends to complete an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the 960-acre planning area and needs the public's input. January 16 marks the opening of a public scoping period for the Green Mountain Forest Health Project. The BLM will consider these comments when developing the EA.
"The BLM wants to enhance forest health on public lands for a number of reasons, and we'd like to hear from the public on what suggestions or comments they might have on the project," said Jim Sparks, field manager of the Billings Field Office. "Ultimately, the actions taken would invigorate aspen stands, improve wildlife habitat, help regenerate woody plants and tree seedlings, and potentially protect human health and safety through the reduced risk of catastrophic wildfire."
Prescribed fire, salvaging insect- and disease-damaged timber before it loses marketable value, and reducing the current conifer encroachment are some of the proposed tools to be used that would change the vegetative composition and existing structures in the proposed management area. Private lands and local economies in the surrounding area would likely benefit as well.
A presentation by BLM specialists about the forest health project will be provided at 4:30 p.m., on Thursday, January 24, 2013, at the Boulder River Watershed Association quarterly meeting held at the school in McLeod, Mont.
Those who would like to provide scoping comments should be as specific as possible with suggestions regarding resource issues, data sources, or alternatives to be considered in the EA. Send comments to Craig Drake, BLM Billings Field Office, at 5001 Southgate Drive, Billings, MT 59101 or e-mail email@example.com.
To be considered, all comments must contain the name and address of the submitter. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personally identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
The scoping comment period ends on February 1, 2013. For more information and full details on the Green Mountain project, contact Assistant Field Manager Craig Drake at (406) 896-5349. For the latest BLM news and updates visit us on the web at: www.blm.gov/mt and on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/BLMMontana.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

I'm happy I have this forum 'cause no signs here yet, except for two tv commercials.
I'm happy I have this forum 'cause no signs here yet, except for two tv commercials.
Merry Snowy Christmas
Love & Peace to the World
Christmas adverts on all the time now in the UK.
It's almost Christmas full force now at stores and on TV
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I've noticed a couple commercials (or Adverts -- I'm starting to learn the lingo!) on TV and driving past the Strip Mall (a number of stores lined up against one another with a communal overhang and sidewalk) today I saw that they had already decorated the trees and hung Wreaths and Garland from the storefronts.
"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens
Holidays are coming! Holidays are coming ! It's now officially CHRISTMASSSS!!
Coca Cola Commercial Video is great but the song is awful.
Its the season to be jolly
All our shops are doing christmas stuff and the tv is awash with christmas
adverts....but I still haven't caught the coca-cola one yet, so it's not
the start of christmas until I do.........
Merry Christmas to all...
Wrapped presents yesterday, while listening to cd of choirs singing Christmas carols,also doubled checked the lights again to make sure they are working and even wrote a heap of Christmas cards, ready for posting[not yet though].
Snow, snow, quick, quick snow,
Christmas is a coming...
And here I go....
The hot chestnut barrow has been spotted by the market cross for the first time this season.
So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle,
Hail our dear old friend kris kringle,
Driving his reindeer across the sky.
Don't stand underneath when they fly by.

Great for Food Allergic Kids!
My son is allergic to dairy and nuts. Both he and my toddler twins love these calcium bears, and they supply 75% of the RDA of calcium for kids under 4 years old. Now I don't have to worry so much about the toddlers drinking enough milk (they actually dislike it), and with milk running almost $4 per gallon, it's actually cheaper to give them Yummi Bears, too.
good product

good choice for child
Good chewy texture
Posted by Reviewer2447441 on Oct 09, 2016
It's the only brand of gummy supplements my kids will take. Has a nice chewy texture. But different batches can be soft chewy or hard chewy. Tastes good and natural also, unlike other brands that have a yucky fake taste.
Good Product

Our kids love it.
don't like the granulated sugar coating
Posted by yowinmo on Sep 01, 2016
the granulated sugar coating makes hands so sticky
Like sweets
Posted by 4665503560050011313 on Aug 20, 2016
Definitely no need to "force" the kids to take the daily minerals when they are distributed like these bears. Both my children love this product, but as a responsible parent, I'd preferred a type with less sugar (which they appreciate as much as the yummi bears).

Rated 2.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by Nadbod Great color - not a good fit for me The color is amazing! It's a mix of gold and rose gold, so you can wear them with both types of jewelry. The heel height and platform is very sexy and flattering. However, the make of the shoe was not right for me. The back of the heel was too big and didnt hold my foot in properly. I'm a size 7, 00 in bebe. April 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Aolanis very sexxi sandal They Run very small narrow... i got the gold color is very beautiful but the material smells!!! im a size 7 i try the 8 is to wide And big...i ending getting the 7s. i hope they streach out a little bit.Also keep in mind my feet are not wide...if ur feet are a little wider go for the 8 is more confii :) The reason give only 3 stars is bc the buckle it hurts ur toes&and it not a true size they are very narrow i got them bc they look so beatiful :) March 16, 2013

text: A local mother (not associated with our API group) suggested that all kids stay inside during recess untill they "spray for bees" because her son and a few others are deathly allergic to bees (so they stay inside during recess). I was wondering if anyone knew if they did "spray for bees" anyway and how effective that is? I was also wondering how you felt about that idea. I personally don't think ALL the children should miss out on outside time!

"I bought these shoes in both the brown and black and have gotten a lot of wear out of them this summer. I usually wear a 5 - 5.5 in a flat shoe/sandal, got the 36 in these and it fits perfectly. Size 36 is usually the equivalent of a 6 but according to Chelsea Crew it's a 5, and I agree that the fit is closer to a 5. I have average width feet and the width is perfect. The only negative is that the soles of these are very hard. At first I thought they were uncomfortable, but after wearing them a while I got used to them. I wouldn't recommend them for all day walking, but they're fine for a few hours on your feet. I'm petite, so I appreciate the extra height without an actual heel. Both colors are very versatile, though I find that I wear the brown more."

(July 14) Today we're celebrating . . . Bastille Day
Bastille Day
the French national holiday, celebrated on 14 July each year. In France, it is called "Fête Nationale" ("National Holiday"), in official parlance, or more commonly "quatorze juillet" ("14th of July"). It commemorates the 1790 Fête de la Fédération, held on the first anniversary of the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789; the storming of the Bastille was seen as a symbol of the uprising of the modern French "nation", and of the reconciliation of all the French inside the constitutional monarchy which preceded the First Republic, during the French Revolution*

Los Angeles-based Sinclair Denim may sound familiar to those who have shopped their jeans at high-end retailers like Neiman Marcus, and now, they're back this summer with some innovative washes and treatments on jeans, bermudas and denim cutoffs. We felt like a kid at a candy store when we saw the Sinclair Spring-Summer 2012 lookbook. Its palette of foil coated jeans, deep indigos, juicy dip-dye pastels, railroad stripe and even glitter offer the woman a chance to dip her hands into any style cookie jar she chooses this summer. We are in love with Sinclair's tasteful handling of dip dye and innovative use of foil coating. How would you rock a pair of Sinclairs?
[nggallery id=1198]
If you want to get your hands on a pair of Sinclair Denim, try the Coe Legging Jean in Golden Lights or the Fixed Coe Skinny in Proxy (an ombré blue), both available at REVOLVE Clothing.

Three men camping at the Goblin Valley State Park allegedly did some damage to a Hoodoo. One of the men Glen Taylor was seen on a video on Facebook moving the boulder back and forth and then toppling the boulder off the dirt that was holding it. The men claimed the boulder was loose and could possibly fall on someone that was walking by.
State Park's became aware of the episode when the video was posted on the internet and everyone could view the damage the men did to the Hoodoo. Serious felony charges could be filed against the men for the damage they did at the state park. The men were apparently scout leaders and could lose their positions if convicted of a felony. The men told a Salt Lake television station that they regretted not alerting a park ranger that the boulder was loose.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk said the Utah State Parks Law enforcement is handling the investigation of the matter. Charges could be filed at the Seventh District Court by County Attorney David Blackwell or the investigation could be sent to the Utah State Attorney General's Office for prosecution.
