Are you looking for a unique Christmas Gift for Your wife and looking for some inspiration?
With Christmas just around the corner, the streets are filled with panic stricken shoppers and husbands scrambling to complete their gift lists. Most people have the hardest time selecting presents for those most dear to them.
For us husbands, we know how especially tricky it can be, finding just the right present for our wives - your lifetime partner through thick and thin. This need not be the case, the most important thing you should remember is that the gift should be well thought of - something that shows that you know her inside out.
You can select a Christmas hamper that best fits her lifestyle and personality - if she loves taking long baths after a stressful week, a 'Bathing by Candlelight' Christmas hamper will surely make her smile - filled with organic bath oils and soaps, sensual bath truffles, and aromatic spa candles that'll clear her head and help her unwind. Sweeten this bathing experience with an assortment of hand-crafted chocolates, which is also included in the hamper.
'Cupid's Secret' hamper is perfect for the hopeless romantic - containing a set of silk scented red rose petals and tea light candles to set the mood, a handy take-along massage therapy kit which contains everything you need for a de-stressing, sensuous massage, 52 weeks worth of scratch cards with messages and gestures of love to last throughout the year, an elegant photo frame to preserve and show off your fondest memories together, luxurious handmade truffles for that wonderful sugar rush, and to complete the package, a solid pewter heart that contains a secret message for her to discover.
Material gifts are not the only things you can give her. If your partner is adventurous, you can opt to surprise her with 'body flying' where she gets to experience free fall through a wind tunnel, or lessons on flying an aircraft, where she will actually be given the chance to take control of a plane through the course of the lesson. Why let her have all the fun? To make it more interactive, join her in exhilarating activities such as white water rafting, wakeboarding, and scuba diving.
For women who love being wooed, abandon the typical candlelit restaurant dinner, take your relationship to new heights with a whimsical air balloon ride or breathtaking helicopter flight over London. Take in the beautiful sights and enjoy your moment together high above the city streets.
De-stress together, choose from a wide array of relaxation and treatment packages. If she loves a good massage, try the mini pamper day for two at a spa filled with treatments and massages. Detoxify with a Moroccan steam cleansing ritual where you and you wife can feel your body being rid of unnecessary dirt and toxins. For lovers of sumptuous cacao, the 'Hot Chocolate Surprise' will be an unforgettable experience. Indulge in your own private steam chamber where you get the chance to envelope each other in the richest concoction of 100% pure chocolate. Coco butter will leave your skin wonderfully smooth and radiant. Cap the experience off with ice cold glasses of champagne and sugar sprinkled strawberries.
With all these in mind, the problem now will be selecting which one she'll love the most. To help narrow down you choices, take into consideration your budget, and schedule. At the end of the day, no matter what present you select, come Christmas day, the sincere thought and love that you put into it will shine through.

How to Survive The Missiles of Business and Life
Picture a crisp, clear spring day. You're flying 550 knots at 22,000 feet, with your wingman two miles off and exactly ninety degrees to your right, on a combat mission in southern Iraq's no-fly zone. You both are scanning for enemy aircraft, surface-to-air missiles (SAMS), and radar activity. Over half your time is spent "checking six"-looking behind you and your wingman for unseen threats or movement.
Suddenly, you hear your wingman's voice blare over the radio, "Break right, break right! Missile launch your five o'clock!" Your heartbeat ramps up and you feel the surge of adrenaline as your fight-or-flight reflex kicks in. This all happens in an eye blink, and in that same instant, it's time to act. Instinctively you 'break right' - crank the stick to the right, bank the aircraft ninety degrees, and pull back as hard as you can, feeling the g forces flatten you back into the seat.
You lower the nose, jettisoning chaff and flares to help break the radar lock, and crane your neck around behind you to get a "visual" of the missile. The smoke plume of its exhaust becomes easily visible as you continue the maneuver to avoid the missile's flight path. Fortunately for you, it detonates a thousand feet from your aircraft. In some ways, it all feels like a dream.
Then, before you can even relish the victory, you realize that you're now "low and slow"-a perfect target for more SAMs. The fear grabs you once again as you rocket skyward to gain altitude while continuing to scan for missiles...and your wingman! You need to reestablish mutual support. As if reading your mind, he calls out on the radio, "Two, your visual is left ten o'clock, three miles, high." You refocus in that direction and take a deep breath of relief as you find your wingman on the horizon, rejoin him, and continue the mission. You have survived.
This is just another day in the life of a fighter pilot. But let's look closer. Just what made surviving that attack possible?
Without hesitation, you took your wingman's advice when he said "Break right!"
You successfully applied evasive maneuvering procedures (i.e. you took action.)
Your wingman never lost sight of you.
Now, you're flying missions every day, at work and at home. They generally aren't as intense as combat, but the pressures and the stakes are real nonetheless. The key, not just to surviving but to winning these missions, lies with your wingmen-your trusted partners and collaborators. And these wingmen come in all guises: your coworkers, supervisors, spouse, best friend.
Now imagine this scene: You arrive at the office, mud on your shoes, your clothes soaked. Your car blew a tire on the way in, and when you got out to have a look, a pickup truck hit the puddle next to you, and the water flew. After enduring jokes from the receptionist and anyone else who sees you, you get to your office and find that the printed and collated copies of your big presentation for the upcoming tradeshow were delivered on schedule-bound upside down and in the wrong order. Throw in your two junior staff members complaining about the raises they didn't get, and you can start to feel the steam shooting out your ears. Not exactly missiles, but enough to make you feel as if you were crashing to earth!
Enter your wingman Joe, a fellow sales manager who's your partner on several accounts. He closes your office door, lets you rant a little while, then starts to calm you down and get you back on the right flight path. Someone in the print shop owes him a favor-he'll be able to get your copies fixed in time. The two whining staff members? Joe points out that one received a promotion and raise just six months ago, and the other is up for a performance review in a week. You'll be able to give a pay bump then-problem solved.
As your blood pressure inches back down, Joe suggests that you pull a change of clothes from your gym bag and give your suit to the cleaners in the lobby of the building, who offer one-hour service. "Now, Phil, let's talk about the Acme account," says Joe, pulling out a pad and pen. "We have that big presentation, and we need a slam-dunk to win the business. Here's what I think we should do...."
In just fifteen minutes your trusted wingman has helped you "break right," deploy your defense systems, and "cover your six." You're both back in formation and on your way to the next battle.
Are you even aware of the wingmen at your office and in your life? Are you backing each other up, "checking six" for missile launches, and calling out "Break right!" when necessary? Most importantly, when your wingmen say, "Break right," will you heed the call? Or will you instead question them, doubt their credibility, or maybe even resent them for telling you what to do?
Have you ever been in a situation where you've worked hard for something-a new project at work, a promotion, marriage, or a chance to coach your child's team-and one of your wingmen pulls you aside and gently explains that you're not quite ready, or maybe not even right, for this responsibility? Maybe you were criticized about some very personal issues, told that to improve your chances of winning the new client you'd need to change your clothing style, your communication skills, or your ability to speak before an audience. Your wingman has spotted "bogies" bearing down on you and is warning you to "break right" before serious trouble ensues.
Although it feels like a personal insult, the choice you make in that moment is critical: Heed the call and avoid getting shot down; or ignore the warning, and you or someone you care about may get hurt.
As we have seen, being a wingman is all about trust. Trust implies mutual respect, confidence, even compassion. Not everyone can be your wingman, and that's why you must choose them carefully. After all, who wants to be criticized by someone we don't trust.
Being a wingman also implies shared responsibility. You not only need to listen carefully (and act) when you hear "Break right!"-you need to be willing to call it out as well. This takes courage. But if you really care about someone and consider them your wingman, you have to do what's right to help this person grow.
Every day in business you're placed in situations where you may need wingmen to help you "fly" more effectively, gain perspective, and keep your work and home environments safe and running smoothly. Wingmen help us with perspective, because it's easy to get so focused on a project or so comfortable with our habits that we lose sight of the big picture. Thus, we can be flying with blinders on without ever knowing it-a bad idea when the missiles start coming at us.
A good wingman will recognize when you're not functioning at the optimum performance level. And they won't hesitate to call out a "Break right" in order to help you refocus on the mission and perhaps avoid a potentially disastrous threat or obstacle. Whether you're a sales manager, IT consultant, marketing expert, or factory worker, it's critical to communicate with your wingmen and back each other up. It takes a team to get the mission accomplished. You need to make fast, accurate decisions and rely on your extensive training to do the right things instinctively. It's also critical to set aside hurt feelings and bruised egos. You can't succeed unless you trust those working beside you to "check your six."
The key here is self-leadership and accountability. It means being open to feedback and heeding the warning calls that your wingmen may send you. Then, by taking action (refocusing your attention and adjusting your flight path), you'll avoid the missiles, get back on target, and continue the mission safely and effectively.
So I invite you, my fellow wingmen, to look around the skies and identify the wingmen in your personal and professional lives, who may need to hear you say, "Break right!" Just as important, keep an ear cocked for their calls, too. Your coworkers, customers, stockholders-and at some point, perhaps your very life-may depend on it.

I aint heard this one in a while?
On some air bases the Air Force is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle.
One day the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?" The tower responded, "Who is calling?" The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?" The tower replied "It makes a lot of difference.
1) If it is an American Airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock.
2) If it is an Air Force plane, it is 1500 hours.
3) If it is a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells.
4) If it is an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3.
5) If it is a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon and 120 minutes to "Happy Hour."
Hey happy hour,,,,,that sounds good,,ha ha ha V good
Solar plane aims for pioneering day and night in the skies
