20 Geek-Inspired Engagement Rings

Mood Rings:

This ring comes with a stone and you can see a change in color with a change in your mood.

Of all these different shades, the top one is violet and the last is black. Here’s a little more about these colors.

violet blue – cheerful, romantic
blue – cool, comfortable
green – normal, nothing much is happening with you
yellow/amber – confused, energized
brown/gray – anxious, concerned
black – damaged ring or cold temperature

It is worth mentioning that these mood rings have been used in a recent research to get an idea of the extent of neurological damage a solider may experience in a battle. There is a lot of promise in this research, and if things continue to move according to plan, you will see color crystals on military uniform that will be used instead of conventional badges. It is supposed that an instant color change after a severe blast will help others know that a solider is in need of immediate medical attention.

Fingerprint Ring:

A perfect keepsake of your friendship and love! Get a pattern of your friend’s fingertips on this hallmark silver band and it will become a precious item of your life.

Bone Ring:

It is easy to find people who always opt for the unique things, even if they are buying a ring. If you are one of those, get this Bone Ring, as there is nothing more unique than your own DNA. These rings are actually made of a person’s bone tissue. Artists and scientists have joined forces to produce this wonderful ring. A tissue is taken from your wisdom tooth and then used to make a ring. Really unique, isn’t? But, unfortunately, the original company website is not functional.

See the rest..

11 Tips to Cut Your Cholesterol Fast



How's your cholesterol? If you think that the normal reading you got back in 2004 (or earlier) means you're in the clear, think again: Levels of the artery-clogging substance often rise with age, and cardiologists say everyone 20 or older should be screened for high cholesterol at least once every five years, with more frequent screenings for anyone deemed to be at high risk for heart disease. If it's been awhile since your last cholesterol screening, now's a good time to ask your doctor if you're due for one.

The good news? If your fasting total cholesterol level exceeds the desirable level of 200, or if your low-density lipoprotein ( LDL, or "bad”) cholesterol is above 100, getting it down to a safer level could be easier than you think.
