When kayaker Emily Geisler spotted a diamond ring washed up on the shores of Rigby Lake near Idaho Falls, on July 23, she thought she was being pranked. "I was sure someone was filming," she tells Shine. "I looked around but nobody was anywhere near me." Her husband, Jayson, was off swimming as part of his training for an upcoming triathlon. "I knew he'd have a hard time believing where I found it-so I took the picture."

6 secrets retailers don't want you to know
If you're like most consumers searching for the lowest prices when shopping, you need to know retailers have some tricks up their sleeve for fighting back against their own rising costs.
It's no secret prices keep rising. According to Consensus Economics, publisher of Consensus Forecasts USA, inflation and overall prices will rise a modest 2 percent in 2012, but income will not rise accordingly. Gas prices are expected to rise, and we can all personally attest to food price hikes. Even the U.S. Postal Service raised its rates in January, and it might do so again soon. Prices for branded goods in high demand such as Levi's jeans and Nike sneakers already rose 5 percent to 15 percent during 2011 and will rise another 5 percent to 10 percent before 2012 is over, according to retail analysts.
‘Toe-besity’: Cosmetic surgery procedure makes ‘fat’ toes look slim
People who have "fat toes" can now get surgery to make them slim. (Thinkstock)If you grimace every time you glance down at your feet, if the sight of your toes brings to mind a certain prehistoric male cartoon character, if you're having trouble squeezing into that toe ring, you may be suffering from "toe-besity", according to at least one New York-based podiatrist.
Dr. Oliver Zong recently appeared on Good Morning America to explain how and why he performs a toe-shaping procedure, designed to slim down "fatty" appendages, reports ABC News.
How the Richest 400 People in America Got So Rich
In 1992, the 400th richest person in America made $24 million.
In 2007, the 400th richest person in America made $138 million (or $87 million, inflation-adjusted).
Now, that almost certainly wasn't the same guy. There's a lot of churn at the top of the money pyramid. In all of the 1990s, only 25% of the Fortunate 400 made more than one appearance. But the overall message is the same. The rich keep get much richer?
Move over quinoa, Freekeh's the new superfood to eat
(Getty Images)There's a new grain in town making a play for superfood supremacy. Freekeh (pronounced free-ka) has already netted universal praise from the likes of chef-celeb Jamie Oliver, Dr. Oz and even Oprah herself.
These compact, pistachio-hued kernels are also known as greenwheat or farik, which in Aramaic means “the rubbed one” and have an earthy, smoky flavour — it's as if they’ve found a way to capture the essence of a dense and creamy rice-dish prepared over an open campfire. Freekeh may be an up-and-comer to our North American pantries, but it’s actually an ancient grain that’s been ubiquitous to Middle Eastern diets since Biblical times.
Retire to Guatemala's beautiful Lake Atitlán
The caldera created by a massive volcanic explosion, one of the strongest explosions in earth's history, formed the basin for what is today arguably the most picturesque lake in the world: Lake Atitlán in Guatemala.
Aldous Huxley famously described this lake as, "really, too much of a good thing." It's beautiful by day and stunning at sunrise and sunset. With a near-perfect climate, easy access to the United States, a moderate cost of living, and reasonable access to health care, Lake Atitlán and the surrounding villages are a potentially ideal retirement choice.
10 best budget-friendly all-inclusive resorts
Jolly Beach Resort & Spa (Photo: Jolly Beach Resort)
It's a fact that all-inclusive resorts can be expensive, with the average nightly rate at some of the bigger chains running $450—per person. And when you find one in your price range there's usually a caveat—the beach is a 15-minute drive away, or the "all" only includes non-alcoholic beverages (those margaritas by the pool really add up). We here at Budget Travel love a challenge and—though it wasn't easy—we found 10 beachfront all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America (plus one Mediterranean resort so charming we couldn't resist including it) starting at $100 per person, per night. And they really are all-inclusive: a double room, three meals a day, drinks (from soda to cocktails), and lots of activities. And each one has an added bonus, too, from tennis lessons to scuba instructions. The only thing not included? Caveats.MORE AT BUDGET TRAVEL
