I was born to be a salesman. My mother would tell you that too. I’ve always loved talking to people and making deals. Now I sell for a living and haggle with other salespeople for fun.

Test driving a car, casing a custom trade show display or flea market, and walking through a new house with a real estate agent are some of my favorite leisure activities. It’s not even about the money for me. I just love sparring.

There’s nothing better than a well put together trade show booth. If I can tell exactly who the company is targeting, I try to put myself in that audience’s mind set. I want to be sucked in almost to the point of pulling out my credit card. As the person manning the exhibit gives her pitch, I try to poke holes in her story. If salespeople can think on their feet and make it interesting I always let them know I think they’re great at their job. Sometimes I’ll even tip really good ones. This usually leads to a good conversation about the method behind their custom trade show exhibit design.

I especially like salespeople who are way too pushy or manipulative. They will join you on a roller coaster ride as you swing from being ready to buy the store to ready to leave the store and back. I try not to take it too far with them though unless I’m really looking to buy. Salespeople like this don’t usually handle failure well.

Maybe this isn’t the most healthy form of recreation. My wife now refuses to go shopping with me at all. She never did appreciate a beautiful custom trade show display like I do. And I’ve seen a few car salesmen get pretty hot under the collar when I told them I wasn’t really in the market. But in the end I think it makes us both better at our jobs. Life’s too short to take yourself too seriously.

My fiancé and I swore our undying love. We gave each other beautiful rings. We found it impossible to say no to each other. We had such wonderful plans for the future. At least I did. My plans were grand and shiny and perfect. Nothing would ever pull us apart. I would rather be by his side in any catastrophe than safe and sound somewhere else with another.

His feelings proved to be somewhat different. I’m glad I found out before it was too late. Who would have guessed a trip to meet his parents would turn into a search for a personal injury lawyer in Arlington, TX.

During my first trip to Arlington, TX, where he is from, the dreaded catastrophe struck. And I wasn’t anywhere else but by his side. He should’ve been beside mine as well, but he ran. He actually ran away from the situation and left me there to fend for myself.

We were sitting on his parents’ patio, flaunting our rings, telling stories, making his parents laugh at us, falling more and more in love, when suddenly the wind began to blow and we found ourselves in the middle of a hail storm that Texas is famous for. Hail stones began pelting the patio with such force that at first all I could think to do was to duck and cover. But where to go? I couldn’t see anything! I called his name, but he was already gone. The hail fell harder, and I began to cry with the pain of it. I scrambled to my feet, but slipped on the ice chunks that littered the ground. I fell. Hard. Instantly, I knew I’d broken something. I couldn’t move. I covered my face with my arms and endured the final moments of the storm. Almost as quickly as the storm had arrived, the sun reappeared, but my fiancé didn’t. I lay there in pain for what seemed like eternity before he appeared.

Oh, he feigned concern. He acted anxious as he drove me to the hospital, where they found that I had fractured my tail bone. He put on a marvelous show of regret that I was injured. But if he cared so much, why had he left me in the icy clutches of a Texas hailstorm? He said he’d helped his mother inside, then came back for me, but I was out there too long for that. He said I was being unreasonable, but what could I think? He should’ve been there to help me. He wasn’t, and now I was hospitalized, bedridden, and he was about to be seriously jilted.

Everything fell apart. He left me. Stuck in Texas. Personally injured. What a fair weather friend he turned out to be! So, I found myself searching for a personal injury lawyer, Arlington, TX. That ex-fiancé of mine was going to help me pay for my hospital bills whether he liked it or not, and I needed to get help. Since I’d suffered a personal injury, Arlington, TX was where I would get that help.

The noise about tungsten wedding rings for men is they’re virtually indestructible. They don’t bend, break, scuff, or tarnish… so they say. I would never “try” to prove this claim with my wedding ring, but I did nonetheless.

It was the infamous snow ball fight of 20-09. My in-laws were visiting for Christmas when my younger brother-in-law ambushed me with a snow ball. Of course that meant war. Everyone got into the action, and when it was all over, I was cold, bruised, and ringless.

We scoured the front yard and the street, but couldn’t find it anywhere. When the snow melted I looked again, but there were no tungsten wedding rings to be found. I figured a squirrel or some passerby had claimed it sometime along the line. So I got a cheap silver alloy replacement since tungsten carbide rings for men aren’t cheap.

Late that spring, the lawn was ready for a first mowing. Half way through cutting the front lawn I heard a loud “ping” and saw something shiny buzz into a shrub from under my lawn mower. I ran over to see what it was. It didn’t take me long this time to find my wedding ring. And the most shocking part was that it looked like new.

There was next to no evidence of the encounter with my lawnmower blade and nothing of the months sitting in the snow and mud. The finish was still beautiful and scuff-free.

Not everything you read is true — especially when it comes to claims of “indestructibility”. But I’m convinced tungsten wedding rings for men are as close to indestructible as you will find. I don’t recommend trying to beat up your wedding ring, if for no other reason than because it’s a bad metaphor. But if you’re looking for a ring that will stand up to some rough incidental treatment, I recommend tungsten carbide.

For thousands of years, igneous rock has blessed our lives with its wide range of uses. It is
as though the earth literally threw us this rock from the depths of its core. Derived from the
latin word ignis which means “fire”, the term igneous illustrates how the rock is formed “of fire”.

There are several ways in which an igneous rock can form, but all of them involve the explosion of a volcano. Magma flows forth from the volcano until eventually it starts to cool. Whatever the magma settles on determines what it will form. Magma cooling upon existing rock solidifies into what is known as igneous rock. This process can take a matter of seconds, or thousand of years depending on the type of rock it forms.

Famous Igneous

• Obsidian – Obsidian is known for its incredible beauty and, when polished, its sleek, dark appeal. Weapons have been made from obsidian for ages, most often used in ritual sacrifices or circumcisions. Its use in architecture is extensive, with both tools and building materials from obsidian used by ancient civilizations. When properly sharpened, obsidian can be sharper than the sharpest metal knife. This is due to the smooth edge it maintains, while when under a microscope, metal knives still have a jagged edge.
• Granite – Granite could possibly be the most commonly used igneous rock, with many of its uses within your own home. A granite countertop is the perfect example of what granite brings to the table. Its high resistance to heat, beauty when polished, and durability make it a popular item to install in the cabinetry or countertops of newly built homes.
• Basalt When heated basalt produces stone wool, which is used as an effective thermal insulator. The other uses for basalt are narrowed down to a building capacity as building blocks, making cobblestones, or in making statues.
• Pumice – Roman engineers utilized pumice in the buliding the dome of the famous Pantheon. When mixed with cement it makes an incredibly lightweight and insulative form of concrete.

It’s good to know that when a volcano erupts, more than just destruction will occur. Without this natural disaster, soil could not become more fertile, new lands could not form, or we could not enjoy the pleasure of quartz stone countertops in our Salt Lake City home.

With Christmas around the corner, many are busy buying presents for loved ones and seeking out many other ways to help those in need. When we talk of those in need we commonly think of economic need. However I would like to talk about those fighting for their lives because of disease or sickness beyond their control. For those still looking for opportunities to help, here are 3 ways in which you can give of yourself to those in need.

Plasma Donation
Plasma is the starting material needed to produce medicine that can help millions of people around the world with diseases, many of which are rare.

If you cannot donate because of an infectious disease then that is ok, there are different donation programs which allow those with infectious diseases, such as hep a and hep b, to donate to help others with similar ailments and make some money in the process.

Biolynk, the leader in the antibody recruitment and consulting industry, recruits and educates patients and doctors who have a desire to help provide this much needed blood.

Blood Donation
One of the biggest acts of charity someone can give is to give of their own blood which is then used for transfusions or made into medications by a process called fractionation. There are many blood donation centers around the country. The Red Cross is always looking for blood of all types to keep a ready supply for emergencies. A little blood can go a long way.

Hospital Volunteer
One of the worst places that someone can be stuck on a holiday is a hospital. Many health care facilities understand this and put on Christmas programs for their patients. This makes it really easy to join an already existing program. The quickest way to find service opportunities is to go to your favorite search engine and search for [volunteer at hospitals in "your city here"].

Please remember that this is the season to give and what greater gift is there than the gift of life.

You know it’s smart to have a good supply of emergency food storage for your family. But as you might guess it takes a little more planning than stocking up on buckets of wheat. These tips will help you build up a long term food supply, maximize it’s shelf life, and minimize the transition when you need it.

1. Plan menus your family will want to eat.
   One of the fallacies that often goes along with collecting bulk food storage is that when you’re in an emergency situation, enjoying food won’t matter. But survival doesn’t mean you have to be miserable. There are some great recipe books available for using home food storage and a wide variety of prepackaged freeze dried meals. Planning menus can be a way to get your family involved and excited about being prepared.
2. Have a good variety of foods.
   Remember the point of building survival food storage is having something when other sources aren’t available. Plan a broad enough menu that you won’t be dreading everything you have to eat after a few days of roughing it. Factor in breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, and snacks. Plan enough variety for unique meals at least weekly.
3. The simpler the better.
   There are advantages of having a garden, a cow, and grinding your own wheat. But they will also take a lot more effort and know-how. It’s a good idea to practice survival skills, but when you are in an actual survival situation, you want to have things you can do easily. Have enough easy-to-prepare food in your emergency food storage that feeding yourself doesn’t become a source of stress for you.
4. Anticipate alternative cooking needs.
   If you can’t get to a store to buy food you need, there’s a good chance your power and running water will be off too. Be prepared with alternative methods of cooking including a butane stove with extra fuel or wood for a campfire. If you’re planning to use a campfire, have cooking gear to use with it such and Dutch ovens and cast iron griddles. Make sure you have a good supply of clean water on hand.
5. Rotate your food supply.
   Even freeze dried bulk food storage has an expiration date. It’s a good idea to rotate it periodically. Keep track of when you buy items and use the oldest stuff first. This will not only keep your emergency supply fresh, it will accustom your family to the food.
