Did Iran Photoshop Its New Stealth Fighter Jet to Look Like It Was Flying When It Totally Wasn’t ?

Wow.....this is a must read. Seems Iran floated the picture with the Qaher 313 superimposed on the mountain to "prove" that the fighter jet could fly. Check out the picture of the mountain without the jet and with the jet (Photoshopped !)

Are you Man enough for a ...Ring ?



Part Two of the Man Rings which seem to becoming a fashion statement...hmmm ?




This is one of the most unique rings ever produced. Crafted from aerospace grade titanium, it is a comfortable and smart looking ring. Hidden inside is an assortment of useful tools. It has a working bottle opener, a straight blade perfect for cutting packing tape or fishing line, a serrated blade for tougher things like nylon strapping or those tough to open electronics heat sealed packages, a saw for cutting plastic and wood, and it has a comb! Although the comb is tiny, it actually does a surprisingly good job on the 'stache or head! You would be amazed at just how handy this ring is. 

The ring is custom made, one at a time, in exactly your ring size. We make them in quarter size increments for an exact fit, normally within a thousandth of an inch. The width remains at 9mm. The Brushed finish seems to work best, so I left off those options. The inside of the ring gets a polished finish for comfort. Although the ring can be engraved, the internal lines will affect the letters a bit. I recommend the Roman font if you will be engraving inside. There are brass rivets that hold the plates together, and they add a touch of class. 

This utility ring is not to be confused with a mass produced stamped out toy. It is a finely engineered and crafted piece of functional art that takes many hours to make, and one that anyone would be proud to wear. It takes extreme precision and extreme equipment to make this work.

Don't forget to list your ring size in the Comments section when ordering. We can make to quarter sizes. We at BooneRings appreciate your business.


Tools in your...Ring ?

Ever planned to cater for escaping from captivity ? You know, those scenes where the handsome hero has to think of ingenious and spy-like ideas to escape....

Well here is a unique such product for you...



The Titanium Escape Ring adds another tool to the operator's E&E options for escaping captivity. It's a simple but elegant-looking ring made of titanium, cut from solid barstock and polished to a mirror finish. But unlike all other rings, this one contains a saw and handcuff shim pick combination tool which is completely hidden from view when worn. Located on a finger, its always in the exact area needed to quickly access and deploy, even when handcuffed. The shim can be used to open single-locked handcuffs, while the saw can cut zip-ties, disposable handcuffs, duct tape, rope, and other non-metallic materials. This stainless steel tool is  2" x 1/8" x 1/64", and its unusual flexibility allows it to curve around and be seated in the ring's interior. The Micro Escape Tool is a replacement tool for this item. Available in five ring sizes: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 (you may need to order one size larger than your normal ring size). Made in USA.

China helps Tanzania & Zambia - Foothold in Africa

I am simply amazed at the foresight and vision of the Chinese Govt in gaining clout in all minerally endowed regions of the world ! During my assignment in the UN Mission in Ethiopia-Eritrea, I used to catch Ethiopian Airlines from Delhi. Guess where the flight originated from ? Yes, you guessed it right...Beijing !

During the flight we had numbers of suitcase-businessmen...ready to sell you anything from watches, torches or whatever ! During my stint in that region I saw the EU supported projects diminish and the Red Star sponsored projects appear everywhere ! In fact when I asked for incense-sticks in Asamra (Eritrean capital), I was surprised to see Chinese agarbattis !

Anyways, this is a great book on the amazing China has had on helping African Nations feel obliged to the Chinese ever-increasing financial clout !
