Last year, at the 2007 IWA & Outdoor Classics trade show (a show for Hunting, Shooting, Optics, Clothing, Knives, Gifts, Security and Law Enforcement) they awarded the “2007 Knife of the Year” to the Victorinox Swiss Army Rescue Tool. Now going to a trade show where they give out an award for the best knife of the year may not seem that prestigious, but this little snippet about this tool may impress you more. From the Victorinox website:
The title of Knife of the Year 2007 was awarded to the Victorinox Rescue Tool during the IWA, the largest knife exhibition in the world. The IWA International Knife Award has become an international reference and quality label: the Rescue Tool was picked among 77 knives from 34 exhibitors coming from 9 countries. The Rescue Tool has been developed by Victorinox in close collaboration with rescue and safety services.
Considering the competition and that they worked closely with rescue and safety services makes this tool even more impressive to me. The Rescue tool can be operated with gloves (handy for firefighters) and has luminescent handles so you can see it in dim light. Here’s a full list of features: Read the rest of this entry »

The DeTox Spa helps to keep you in tip top condition no matter how rough a day you’ve had.
They say that necessity is the mother of all invention, and the same applies to this Texan mother who had some trouble keeping her newborn son comfortable and quiet, and hence conjured the Zaky Pillow that simulates a warm, human touch. It comes in the form of a large hand, with the appropriate weight and size being as real as an actual thing (to the baby, at least). Parents themselves will be able to feel as though they’re laying their hand on their baby even when they’re busy with other chores in the house. This is a transitional item and should not be used as a permanent fixture in the baby’s life. 
The Dancetown Fitness System is a brand new revolutionary fitness system that brings together the benefits of dance as well as physical exercise (sounds like the Wii in some ways, eh?) in the form of a computer game. Now now, where have we heard of such an idea before? This unique fitness system aims to transform fitness and wellness in the adult segment, in particular targeting the senior living industry. The Dancetown Fitness System touts to improve quality of life for adults by giving them a fresh outlook on health and a compelling, enjoyable reason to exercise. And I thought that living longer is more than enough reason to go out there and sweat.
I have a George Foreman Grill - wait, I take that back, I have a couple of George Foreman Grills. They’re great for cooking hamburgers, turkey burgers, steaks, chicken breasts, bratwursts and just about anything else that you could think to cook on a grill - you can cook on the George Foreman “Lean Mean Fat-Reducing Grilling Machine”. There’s ones with removable plates, ones with bun warmers, and all sorts of different sizes and shapes. But the only thing that was the same was that they all required to be plugged into the wall socket to work.
