Natural Gemstones have been treasured since ancient times and come in an amazing variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, and are purchased today for their aesthetic or symbolic value. When used in engagement ring settings, natural gemstones make beautiful alternatives to diamonds, or gorgeous side-stone accents that enhance a center diamond.
Precious colored gemstones are classified into different groups, species, and varieties. Of the 4 C's, Color is the most important factor in valuating natural gemstones—color is evaluated according to hue, tone, and saturation. Another important factor in determining a gemstone's value is Clarity. In some precious gemstones such as emeralds, inclusions are almost always present however, and clarity is less important to determining overall value.
Although natural gemstones are evaluated according to the 4 C's, the process is slightly different than it is for diamonds. Many gemstones are heavier and bear a higher specific gravity than diamonds. Or, conversely, they are lighter per carat than a diamond of equal carat weight. As a result, a one-carat precious gemstone may appear smaller or larger in size than a one-carat diamond. As with diamonds, however, as carat weight increases, so does the price of the gem. Also, natural gemstones are commonly cut differently and deeper than diamonds. They are typically cut with more weight in the bottom to bring out the intensity of their color and some stones such as sapphire are generally shaped into ovals or cushions to retain maximum weight.
James Allen offers a range of high-quality natural gemstones: blue sapphires, pink sapphires, yellow sapphires, rubies, and emeralds—available in a range of hues and prices to meet any budget.
James Allen's beautiful collection of high-quality sapphires are extremely durable— they have a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Yellow sapphires tend to have fewer inclusions than blue and pink varieties, although pink sapphires are the rarest and most valuable of the sapphire colors. Blue sapphires, on the other hand, are the most popular and traditional choice of sapphire.
When it comes to rubies and emeralds, James Allen offers an amazing array of choices. Because pink sapphires bear so many similarities to rubies, many people have a hard time deciding which one is right for them. A James Allen customer service representative can help you determine which precious gemstone is best for you.

Philada. of 10th. 4th mon. March 1775 Respected Friend L. Huntington The kind condescention in taking to benevolent a notice of the letter I took the freedom to write to thee concerning the deep suffering of the oppressed People of Guinea our fellow men & fellow heirs of the same salvation, thro Christ our Lord: and the dreadful consequent effect it has upon their Lordly oprressors & their unhappy offspring: was greatfully received by me. I am fully united in sentiment with thee that vain is the help of man 'tis God alone: by his almighty power, who can & will in his own time bring outward, as well spiritual deliverance to his afflicted & oppressed creatures: nevertheless it has pleased God in all ages to stirr up an holy jealosy in the heart of many, to labour both by word & deed; for the deliverance of their fellow men from outward as well as spiritual oppression & distress. The Propher Ezekiel reminds the people of his day, not only to attend to their call thereto, but of the judgement that will attend a neglect thereof: the principal difficulty is lest we should mistake the activity of our minds for the puttings forth of the divine hand, and oh' that I may be preserved in this spot. I am sensible of the great danger which, in this respect, attends people of a sanguin disposition, especially such as are naturally favoured with feeling hearts; And I cannot but earnestly wish for myself as well as my brethren the welminded in every religious Denomination whose expectation is that we may from Christ alone however we may differ in circumstantial in every respect, stand quite clear from giving way to the subject workings of the selfish principle so apt imperceptibly to influence the human heart, in things that flatter our humour, & interest. May well disposed people are ready at their first prospect of some prevailing evils to say with one of old, "Is thy servant a dog that he should do this thing" and yet from a repeated sight & habit of that which flatters self, which sooths our pride & interest, we are too often gradually drawn into the practice & defence of that which we at first like the Assyrian King, looked upon with abhorance. This I have observed to be more particularly the case with respect to the bondage of the Negroes. I have much desired that the persons

I had an argument with a Facebook friend the other week that led to others joining in with her against my expressing my views about her beliefs, and the politics attached to them.
She is Catholic, and was expressing support for the bishops who are suing the US government to stop them "being forced to supply contraceptives".
I linked some article about the absurdity of people - particularly women - who allow their lives (and in particular reproductive lives) to be dictated to be a bunch of celibate men. She deleted my post, and a row ensued, whereby I said that the Catholic church was "founded on a lie which has been allowed to fester for the past 2000 years".
It subsequently lost me more Facebook friends who, I imagine, see me as some kind of "monster" for criticizing this woman's "beliefs". I think I'm just making the woman think.
Am I alone in thinking there are more ways than one of putting an atheist message across? And that although gentle discussion has its place, the occasional blast of "This is how it is" is necessary?
Personally, I'm tired of treading on eggshells around religion. I think it's time to let the Emperor know in no uncertain terms that his new clothes don't exist, and that he's making a fool of himself - even if it means losing friends doing so.
I'm of the opinion that religion isn't just some benign nonsense, but that it has political consequences, and it's an absurdity that causes a lot more problems than it fixes. And that it's about time we made more noise about it.
Opinions, please.

I'm with you. However you cannot argue with a person with a belief system, because a logical argument requires a few things:
Of course, if the person with a belief system had any of those things, they wouldn't have a belief system in the first place.
What we need to do is get to all the children of the world and educate them to think (you may have to confiscate all ipads and iphones LOL) before the world turns into the film "Idiotocracy".
But the point is that people DO change. There are plenty of people who believe, then come to their senses. I'm one of them. I know plenty of others who realize what a load of bollocks they've been believing, and become atheist.
What makes some change and others not?
I'm inclined to think they exist on a spectrum. Some are way at the believing end, and others have just a tentative hold on their faith.
Even then, though, I think any of them can shift. Sometimes I think it's the ones that spout off the most are the ones who believe it the least.
I do believe (yes, believe...) that there will be some kind of "critical mass" (not a Catholic one!) that will cause a major shift in belief, though. And it will be in atheist's favor.
It will only take a large swing towards rational thinking, which will include some prominent theists such as ex-clergy and ex Muslims (particularly famous ones) that will cause larger and larger numbers of people to drop religion entirely.
At least, that's what one can only hope for...
People do change. However, it was not ridicule that caused me to change. It was contemplation. The ridicule was largely based on ignorant points based on misconceptions about what Christianity taught, or what the Bible said. It really kept me from realizing that atheism had some serious arguments, because there was so much nonsense and there were so many smug ignorance-based comments.
I believe you are right about the shift. I think it will be brought about by the free access to information through the internet. I don't even think we need to try any harder than to just be have the most airtight and strongest positions and watch the people come in.
You and I converted under different means. Atheists are still an enormous minority as well. We can not definitively say that being a militant atheist would be a better way to speed up conversion rates. That is unskeptical. And when in doubt, it is not wise to take the "be a jerk to people route"
I think the most reasonable one is the middle ground. You don't need to tiptoe over their faith. It is fine to point out the specific parts that you really have the most problems with. It is also fine to grind any of their attacks into dust.
It is better to err on the side of caution. Using a method that will be interepreted as being a terrible person on account that it "may" lead to greater successes without blowback, reminds me of the many foreign policy blunders of the USA, or even the recent fiasco http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/13/atheist-slavery-billboard-... where an attempt to show why the bible is bad ended up coming across as racist.
The passage used in the billboard did not condone slavery as an institution, it condoned martyrdom, in the same way that the turn the other cheek passage condones martyrdom.
I don't believe we should be trying to de-convert people, I think we just need to get religious people to clean up their game. They're only human, they get confused and led astray. Their underlying concepts are sound, and in fact, rooted in reality. We need to appeal to their own, best, traditions of humanity and discipline.
I think trying to de-convert people is a bit weird. We hate it when religious people evangelize, so why is it OK for us to do it? Why not leave people alone to their own beliefs? We all want the same thing. It's not like they're nazis and criminals.
Well, I disagree. It's not a case of "de-converting" people. It's a case of educating them.
I'd like a world full of people who are rational. That might be asking a lot, but the more people who are turned off religion, the more likely they'll turn others off it and we'll finally be shed of it like we were shed of flat Earth theory and a geocentric universe.
It's Ok for us to do it because we're enlightening people. The religiods are only ever misguiding people or pulling the wool over their eyes.
"It's not like they're nazis and criminals"...well, some would disagree. The Catholic Church, for example, is one very big business which has its fingers in a lot of pies. Religion has a stranglehold over a lot of politicians. The religious ideologies are intertwined with just about every country's political system in some way.
And let's not even start with Islam...
But when you say "educate", surely you mean "de-convert".
You seem to equate "rational" with "correct". Rational, in an atheist sense, just means scientific, intellectual, materialist. But there's more to life than that.
Have you heard of Godels's Incompleteness Theorem? He proved that within the system of arithmetic, there are some statements that cannot be proven by using only the rules and axioms of that system. Or something similar. I believe that the same applies to "rationality". You can't answer every question by staying within the boundaries of strict, narrow rationality. If we try and do that, we end up going round in little circles. Rationality has to have something to work on besides just itself. All it is is a system of making sense of and describing the world. Nothing more. I think we spend too much time trying to fit the world into our nice neat little set of theories, and tend to forget about the world itself.
So it's not really very rational at all to stick with a strict narrow definition of rationality.
Rationality is great, we all love it, it's necessary. But there are other things which are just as important. Such as the quality of who people are, how they behave in everyday life, how they treat people, bring up their kids, do business. These are all things we can pull people up on and have public discussions about.
"These are all things we can pull people up on and have public discussions about."
Indeed. But none are remotely connected to the existence of a "god" or religion.
Face it, religion and "god" are founded on the "science" of the day. They're what made sense a couple of thousand years ago, just as Flat Earth Theory did.
Now, they're redundant.
I mean, would you be happy with someone teaching your kids Flat Earth Theory, a geocentric universe, or "creationism".
We still have schools which teach the latter.
Nope. I mean "educate".
> "These are all things we can pull people up on and have public discussions about."
> Indeed. But none are remotely connected to the existence of a "god" or religion.
But they are connected with religion. This grass-roots stuff is every bit as important as the big famous issues like birth control or creationism. It probably has more effect on people.
Religion can cause great damage within people's lives when it is done in the wrong way. Conversely, it also saves many lives and souls. If that means that people spend their lives engaged in what seems to us to be goofy rituals, then that's up to them, it doesn't cause any harm, and it's all part of the package.
It can cause harm through: Repression. Guilt. Judgementalism. Phoney selfish reasons for being hard on someone. False legitimacy assumed just because a person is religious. Denying someone's natural healthy humanity. Etc. Plain bullying, arrogance and selfishness. It doesn't have to be like that, and it's not supposed to be like that. It's all because people can't handle themselves, in my opinion, and can't handle not being seen to know everything.
As for teaching creationism, withholding birth control and other public policies: these are all separate issues, separate from each other, to be taken on a case-by-case basis - like all of these things are, although some are more or less linked.
For example, I don't know, but perhaps instead of fighting with Christian groups over teaching creationism, which is something that is very difficult to win, with both sides being very deeply entrenched: why not push for teaching Evolution to be given equal prominence.
For birth control, that's a completely different battle, and it looks like a very slow difficult one.
The only way we can influence anyone is to appeal to them as human beings, and speak to them in their own language. Religious people are not satanists. They claim to want the best for the world, and very often, they really do. Their traditions are heavily based on "love and peace" and we can mobilise those traditions with the aim of stopping "suck".
"Educate" seems like a good idea.
"...it's an absurdity that causes a lot more problems than it fixes."
THAT, right there, is why I can't keep my mouth shut about religion. It slows progress and stumps knowledge. It's not just intolerance of other people, its the rejection of science, the apathy that prayer creates, and holier-than-thou arrogance that's slowly making me more militant.
"That's why I can't keep my mouth shut about religion".
Just about sums it up for me, too.
I think Karl Popper summed up perfectly what to me is the defining statement on this:
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them… We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal."

General Announcements - May 11, 2009
Welcome to the website of the International Peace Institute. This site presents a broad cross-section of IPI's activities in pursuit of our mission to resolve global conflicts and crises through policy research and development. On these pages you will find our latest publications and learn about specific programs and activities, as well as recent meetings and events.
Looking back on a long and varied career in academia, policy research institutions, conflict mediation, Norwegian politics and government, and the United Nations, I have learned the importance of building bridges between these different sectors and the powerful potential for exchange of knowledge and mutual learning between them.
IPI is uniquely placed to facilitate this necessary exchange among academia, governments, NGOs, and international organizations, and thus to help build a more secure and peaceful world. I am extremely fortunate to have inherited a thriving institution in early 2005 from previous IPI Presidents – Major General Rikhye, the Honorable Olara Otunnu and, in particular, my immediate predecessor, Ambassador David Malone – who made IPI a fixture in United Nations circles and beyond.
As a policy research institute, our core goal is to inform decision-makers in government and the UN of trends and dynamics in peace and security and provide them with realistic policy recommendations. We do so by generating policy-relevant research and by channeling expert advice from all over the world into the UN system. Spending much of the past decade as Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in the Middle East, I know firsthand the immense value of input from institutes such as the International Peace Institute. Our publications are also of much broader relevance, often appearing in university teaching curricula, academic research papers, and media commentary. In this way, IPI's research contributes to a broader debate on the role of the United Nations in today's world.
But the value of research does not solely lie in generating knowledge and policy advice. I have seen on many occasions how, in highly politicized environments, independent and non-partisan analysis can provide a basis for finding common ground among opposing parties. Indeed, the entry point for the process that led to the 1993 Oslo Accords between the PLO and the Government of Israel was a study on the living conditions in the Occupied Territory, undertaken by the Norwegian think tank Fafo, which I headed at the time. Similarly, IPI has a significant track record in bringing parties to the negotiating table by providing independent analysis and neutral ground. This is a tradition which I intend to pursue and strengthen.
Thank you for visiting IPI's website. Please feel free to refer back to the website often, as we will make frequent updates. I hope that our site will become one of your trusted sources for research and analysis on multilateral peace and security issues and UN affairs.

CPBN Media Lab's (I)NTERVIEW Series Presents Interviews with Connecticut's Senatorial Candidates
CPBN Media Lab's (I)NTERVIEW Series Presents Interviews with Connecticut's Senatorial Candidates
Watch the interviews online at CPBN.org, keyword: interview
With a little over a week to go before the Connecticut Democratic and Republican primaries on August 14, the CPBN (Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network) Media Lab's original web series, (I)NTERVIEW, offers a special collection of candidate interviews that present their political positions as well as personal revelations. The series of in-depth interviews allows the candidates to reveal more about their personalities, childhood ambitions, and enthusiasm – items sometimes overlooked in the name of deadline-driven journalism and campaign expediency.
The (I)NTERVIEW online series interviews the following candidates for U.S. Senator:
● Chris Shays (R), former Congressman from Connecticut's 4th district
● Chris Murphy (D), Congressman from Connecticut's 5th district
● Susan Bysiewicz (D), former Secretary of State
Repeated requests for an interview with Republican candidate Linda McMahon went unheeded by her campaign office.
"It gives viewers a chance to see what a candidate is like outside the political arena," said Kirsten Preskenis, one of the CPBN Media Lab producers for the series. "We're trying to look at the people behind the platforms," added another producer, Emily Kitching. "It was an honor and privilege to meet three of the four candidates for Connecticut's open seat in the U.S. Senate," said Mark Yaworowski, the third producer of the series.
With participation from three of the four Senatorial Candidates from both the Democratic and Republican parties, the series provides an informative look into not only their campaigns, but into the lives of the candidates themselves.
Over the course of her interview, Democratic candidate Susan Bysiewicz spoke fondly about her time growing up on her family's farm in Middletown. She laughed about the process the family went through during the harvest of their potatoes. Democratic candidate Chris Murphy described how his childhood ambitions involved a passion for sports, with baseball being a particular favorite.
During his interview with the CPBN Media Lab, Republican candidate Chris Shays said his secret talent is getting people to work as a team. Susan Bysiewicz said her talent is cooking, and she spoke highly about her ratatouille. Although she lets her husband cook, she prefers to be the one behind the stove. With a wry grin and a chuckle, Chris Murphy revealed some little-known information about his time as the quarterback for Oxford College's American football team.
The CPBN Media Lab interns, who are undergraduate and postgraduate college students, perform all the tasks in the creation of this original web series, including producing, scheduling, researching, conducting interviews, shooting, editing, and posting. The interviews were shot in HD using a Sony EX-3 camera in the CPBN Media Lab's Studio B at the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network headquarters, located at 1049 Asylum Avenue, Hartford. Post production is completed using Adobe CS5 and Final Cut Pro. Photographs were taken during each interview with both a Canon Eios Rebel XS and Sony Cybershot still cameras.
"This special series of interviews is part of the Media Lab's focus on youth vote in the 2012 election season, along with our award-winning youth vote PSA that will be on Comcast this fall." said Paul Pfeffer, manager of education services, speaking about the CPBN Media Lab. "We are also producing 'man-on-the-street' interviews to gauge youth knowledge, involvement and engagement with the upcoming elections. This summer, we have students from Bucknell University, Quinnipiac University, Rutgers University, Stony Brook University, University of Delaware, Valparaiso University, and Wellesley College."

About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Don't waste your money These sheets are horrible. The blush color is a lurid pink and not as pictured. I kept them because it would have cost me to return them, as according to Overstock customer service I had "buyers remorse". Then I washed them and they turned out wrinkled and scratchy, sateen they are not.

Pleasantly Suprised I previously purchased a set of 1200 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and wanted a spare set, so I purchased these ones expecting to be a bit dissapointed after the weight and feel of my other set. When these sheets arrived the first thing I noticed was the hemstich detail and the color - which is amazing! It is actually much richer than shown in the photo. My husband and I love the color so much, we have decided to paint it on our bedroom walls which are currently a red I have loved for years. This color is not ordinary terracotta, but a redder richer, deeper color. (Not at all orangy) Very lovely with my Asian themed bedding set. These sheets have just a hint of a sheen and are very study. I love the extra deep pockets - we have a pillow top mattress with a pad on it and these sheets fit over everything with no hassle. I love the feel of the sheets against my skin and we have found that we don't need a blanket when the evenings are cooler; still the sheets breathe and keep us cool on warmer nights. Compared to the 1200 thread count set, I honestly see very little difference and honestly I prefer these because of the color - so the original set has been demoted to extra set status.

Terrible! Pilling everywhere! These are, by far, the worst sheets I have ever purchased. They quickly developed pilling all over the sheets, making them very rough and uncomfortable to sleep on. I'm throwing these away and trying to find a sheet set which does not feel like sandpaper after only a few washings!

one wash and done These sheets were beautiful when then arrived. I washed them prior to putting on the bed. After one week of use and one more wash the sheets are showing terrible wear with pilling. I read previous reviews that shared the same experience but, I washed these sheets by themselves and still had bad results. I would recommend going to xxxxx to buy linens.

I have purchased two sets of these sheets. Quality was excellent, seams were very tight and well made both sets. Mine did shrink just a bit, but I like a nice taut fit for my fitted sheet. I am sorry you got a set that was not checked by a QC. Can you sew it back together?
I had the same experience. The sheets and pillow cases are poorly sewed. Lots of open seams. Fabric and color are good.

will these sheets fit on a 10" thick mattress
Yes! I have an airbed mattress topper on top of a regular size full pillowtop mattress and they fit!
I bought these in navy and they became all discolored after one wash. I think they are terrible. Maybe a lighter color would be okay.
Yes, but they'll be on the tighter side. I have a 9-inch mattress due to age and they're snug...but not so snug that I'm afraid it will tear.
Yes, and then some!
Barely. I bought four sets of twin-size sheets to go on a 9" high mattress that has padding on top. One fit okay, but the other I had to fight to get all four corners on.
the King size package says, "15 inch deep pockets to fit up to 17 inch mattresses". I have a 14 inch memory foam mattress... the fitted fits nicely-tightly i might add, especially given mine is only 14 inches deep-- the top sheet however, is just barely wide enough to tuck in on the sides... and that is after one washing according to the label...:/
Are the queen size sheets long enough for a pillow top mattress?
Hi fivesibs, these sheets can fit some pillow top mattresses. These are made to fit a pocket depth of 15 inches. Thanks for shopping with us.
They fir my deep, pillow-top mattress without a problem, even after many washes.
I have a water bed, I wish they still made 8"=9" deep pockets. the deep pockets stick up on the bed and don't work. Not everyone has a pillow top bed or needs sheets that fit up to 20" deep mattresses.
Yes love these sheets fits my 18 inch pillow top mattress perfect.
No, they don't fit my regular mattress after a few washings.
Yes I have a queen pillow top mattress they fit great
Yes . These are my grown children's favorite sheets. I buy them each a set each Christmas
I have a memory foam pad on top of my mattress and there is still enough fabric.
They are on my King.
Yes! I have a pillowtop queen and they fit.
I have a standard queen mattress and they don't fit the shape well- it's like the corners aren't in the correct places, but the thickness is fine.
Used on a standard mattress with a 4 inch foam topper, the bottom sheet fits quite well and stays put. However, the flat top sheet shrank enough after washing that if you tuck it in at the foot, it lacked reaching to the top of the bed. A bigger issue was the quality of the sheets - they are real duds, coarse, cheap feeling, like the old kind of cotton muslin sheets. A rip-off at the price; don't buy!
Shopping Guides
Bed Sheet Thread Count Fact Sheet
The thread count of bed sheets refers to the number of threads per square inch of fabric. For example, if a square inch of fabric in a 300-thread count sheet with a standard weave were examined closely, 150 vertical threads and 150 horizontal threads would be counted, for a sum total of 300. The higher the thread count, the softer and smoother the sheets will be. Thread count is an important consideration to take when choosing a new set of sheets, but it should not be used as a sole indicator of quality. Equally important in choosing a bed sheet is the type and quality of the materials used as well as the fabric's weave.
