    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There's nothing like a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/music+box" rel="tag">music box</a>; those haunting melodies that can instantly take us back in time. The song of a music box sounds like history; maybe because they have always been a fixture in homes throughout the centuries. Perhaps that is why the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/antique+music" rel="tag">antique music</a> box seems so fitting. It is though the music box has been restored to its original form; and in taking its place in our homes, tells the story of a life steeped in history. <br /><br /> The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/first+music" rel="tag">first music</a> box was made by Swiss watchmaker, Antoine Favre in 1796, and acted as a rudimentary record player of sorts, allowing owners to enjoy and entertain with music in their homes. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/music+boxes" rel="tag">Music boxes</a> continue to evolve under the guidance of their native country. Even as other regions began to design their own music boxes, the Swiss still enjoyed the credit for this miraculous invention. Even today, many an antique music box is referred to simply as a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+music" rel="tag">Swiss music</a> box. <br /><br /> Depending on the time period in which the antique music box was made, you will surely enjoy a variety of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/period+music" rel="tag">period music</a>. In this way, the antique music box acts as a time capsule of sorts, capturing the specific nuances - both in design and melody - of that very particular time in history. <br /><br /> While it can be a valuable and treasured item, the antique music box does not come without its challenges - mainly in the area of repair. Repairing an antique music box - because of its intricate and long outdated parts - can be difficult. It's important to find a reputable and skilled professional to repair or service your antique music box. You may look to those stores that sell <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/contemporary+music" rel="tag">contemporary music</a> boxes; many times the owners and operators of these stores are music box enthusiasts and have knowledge of the complexities of the antique music box. <br /><br /> Keeping your antique music box in proper working condition will allow you to enjoy it for a lifetime and even pass it down to future generations who can then have the opportunity to hold history in their hand.  <bio>For easy to understand, in depth information about music box visit our ezGuide 2 <a href="http://musicbox.ezguide2.com" >http://musicbox.ezguide2.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/macgyver" rel="tag">MacGyver</a> probably had one. Rambo probably had one. George W. Bush should probably get one. Schwarzenegger certainly had one in Commando, and some of us remember a time back in the late 1980s when no self-respecting fashionista would be seen without one. For years, the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+watch" rel="tag">Swiss army watch</a> have been people's accessory of choice. They are not just timepieces used by the military as a standard issue. They are widely accepted means for keeping track of time. What's more, the Swiss army watch is unlike other watches in that it is given the same stamp of approval by those doyens of all that is precise yet stylish in engineering - the Swiss. <br /><br /> Some Things Don't Run in the Family <br /><br /> The Swiss army watch and the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+knife" rel="tag">Swiss army knife</a> are not just related, they are closely related. In fact, both have the same manufacturer. Unlike the Swiss army knife and its myriad attachments and extras, however, the Swiss army watch comes with almost no accessories. In fact, its design is so clean some people find it looking too painfully simple. The Swiss army watch would never win awards for complexity or creativity. It boasts of no extra space, no array of buttons, knobs, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sundials" rel="tag">sundials</a>, or secret compartments for hiding a wire <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/garrote" rel="tag">garrote</a>. As with almost anything Swiss, the design ethic applied to the general aesthetic of the Swiss army watch is to "keep it simple; keep it clean." <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/going+commando" rel="tag">Going Commando</a> <br /><br /> The Swiss army watch for men comes in a number of styles, made from a variety of different materials. The most popular is the standard "commando" Swiss army watch. Designs of this Swiss army watch range from the simple analog dial face with a leather strap, which tells the time where you are, to the very Aryan-looking <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/commando+chrono" rel="tag">Commando Chrono</a> Nightforce. <br /><br /> This particular species of Swiss army watch comes with a robust and at the same time, sexy stainless steel strap, three large, Teutonic-looking knobs protruding form one side, a flourish of dials, digits, and date displays. Additionally, it is engineered to be able to tell the time in twenty different countries on any given date between AD 100 and the present day. Swiss army watch aficionados shell out as much as US$280 for the Germanic pleasure of being the proud wearer of this Swiss army watch! <br /><br /> It's a Girl Thing <br /><br /> If you think the Swiss army watch is for the male species alone, think again. While most of the Swiss army watches in the market have a bold and very masculine appearance, there are now Swiss army watches for girls. These Swiss army watches are smaller and prettier. What's more, they come in a wider range of colors. <br /><br /> Clearly, a Swiss army watch is not for the brave and good soldier alone. It's for anyone who wants to keep track of time the Swiss way - precisely yet stylishly.   <bio>Experience the marvels of Swiss engineering first-hand when you get your own Swiss army watch ( <a href="http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmywatch.html" >http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmywatch.html</a> ) or Swiss army knife ( <a href="http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmyknife.html" >http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmyknife.html</a> ).

According to expert, Swiss Army brands has one of the most extensively research product designs in the market today. The people behind the Swiss army brands are known for its very strict quality monitoring thus, most if not all of their products are really well above the industry standards. <br /><br /> The Swiss army knives in particular have become the product to beat when it comes to multi-purpose pocket knives with its many innovative features. This pocket knife is actually the first of its kind. Developed in the 1890s for the use of the Swiss army, this pocket knife has been around for more that 100 years and has evolved over time. This pocket knife has served well during World War II and had become one of the most popular tools in the military until the present. <br /><br /> From the very start, the Swiss army knife was designed to help in troubleshooting different types problems. In fact, many experts see this pocket knife as the ultimate troubleshooting tool. The original design of the Swiss army knife includes tools like the blade, the screwdriver, the wire tripper, can opener and the reamer. At that time, these were the things that were commonly used by soldiers in the field. <br /><br /> As time goes by, several other features were added into the Swiss army knife to answer the different needs of people. As of 2007, most Swiss army knives already have about 29 features including a laser pointer which can be handy when giving business presentations and a detachable USB flash drive which can accumulate 4 or more gigabyte of files. Victorinox, one of the manufacturers of the Swiss knives in Switzerland also incorporated its Victorinox Cybertools into the latest design of the Swiss Army knife, making this pocket knife one of the earliest computer repair tools to fit in your pocket. As we move well into the digital era, the Swiss will most probably evolved with the times.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ There's <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/no+doubt" rel="tag">no doubt</a> the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+knife" rel="tag">Swiss Army Knife</a> is no ordinary kitchen knife. It's been to battlefields and homesteads. It has seen campfires and bloodshed. It has lain in the hands of settlers, generals, and boy scouts. In fact, it has roots so firmly entrenched in human history you can't hack it off. More importantly, it remains as popular today as it had been more than a hundred years ago. <br /><br /> Birth of a Blade  Two companies produce the Swiss Army Knife: Victorinox and Wenger. These two were awarded contracts to supply knives to the Swiss army. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/victorinox+knives" rel="tag">Victorinox knives</a> are known as The Original Swiss Army Knife while Wenger versions are identified as The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/genuine+swiss+army" rel="tag">Genuine Swiss Army</a> Knife. <br /><br /> In 1891, Victorinox delivered its first batch of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pocket+knives" rel="tag">pocket knives</a> to the Swiss army. Two years after, Wenger followed suit. In those days, the Swiss army had just syatyed using a new rifle that can be dismantled with the use of a screwdriver. If you're a soldier, and you have mortars and gunfire pounding at you from all sides, a screwdriver is the last thing you would ever lug around with you in battlefields and on missions. A pocket knife, on the other hand, is an object that will come in handy to you, not just to cut ropes and clothes, but also to maim and kill should you run out of ammunition. So, why not incorporate screwdrivers into pocket knives? And while you're at it, why not throw in a can opener and a reamer for good measure? This was precisely what Swiss Army Knife manufacturers did, and that year, the Swiss Army Knife that we know today was born. <br /><br /> A Cross for the Original and the Genuine  In recognition of the Swiss Army Knife's role in countless battles, the Swiss army conferred upon the blade Switzerland's national symbol, the white cross. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+knives" rel="tag">Swiss Army Knives</a> today still sport this very striking mark, and whether you're buying an original or a genuine Swiss Army Knife, expect this white cross to come with your blade. <br /><br /> Cutting Edge Advantage  Swiss Army Knives are made of stainless steel. They are very sharp and strong. It doesn't matter how small the blade, can opener, screwdriver, and reamer are. They not only serve their functions, they do so well. <br /><br /> Everyone's Blade of Choice  Today, you need not become a member of the Swiss army to lug a Swiss Army Knife around. People from different walks of life from various parts of the world get their own Swiss Army Knife because it is singularly one of the handiest tools known to humankind. It contains a multiple layer of tools, and always comes with at least one blade. Moreover, a Swiss Army Knife's tools can be easily rotated in and out of its distinctive red casing. <br /><br /> A Swiss Army Knife is so handy and portable, in fact, many see it not as a knife, but as a survival kit. With a Swiss Army Knife in your hand, you can slice your way through life's many complications.   <bio>Get your own Swiss Army Knife ( <a href="http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmyknife.html" >http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmyknife.html</a> )! <a href="http://ExecutiveGiftShoppe.com" >http://ExecutiveGiftShoppe.com</a> has everything Swiss and stylish, from a Swiss army watch ( <a href="http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmywatch.html" >http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmywatch.html</a> ) to a leather portfolio ( <a href="http://executivegiftshoppe.com/portfolios.html" >http://executivegiftshoppe.com/portfolios.html</a> ).   </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ When you go to the gym, you might seem them piled in a corner or being used on a flat surface, or you might even have one or two deflated ones in your trunk of closet. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+balls" rel="tag">Swiss balls</a> have exploded in the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fitness+world" rel="tag">fitness world</a>. Because of its popularity, some people make the mistake of using one when it has no real advantage. <br /><br /> Sometimes trainers even waste heaps of time on the Swiss ball that could have been spend actually burning fat and building muscle. This doesn't mean, of course, that the Swiss ball doesn't have its place. But it's best to educate yourself the on the kinds of exercises that are best enhanced with the Swiss ball before working out on one. <br /><br /> One of the best uses for the Swiss ball is with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ab+workouts" rel="tag">ab workouts</a>. The soft ball allows exercisers to easily move forward or sideways with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/minimal+discomfort" rel="tag">minimal discomfort</a>. A smart ab routine on the Swiss ball can be a great way to build muscles in your core. <br /><br /> So what kind of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ab+exercises" rel="tag">ab exercises</a> are available on the Swiss ball? The Swiss ball crunch is a good place to start. To do this exercise, simply lie with your back on the ball and feet on the floor. With your hands above your head, pull your body up like in a normal crunch, raising to an almost sitting position. Remember to breathe, exhaling as you lift your body. When you reach the top position, pause for a moment, breathe back in, and go back down. <br /><br /> The vertical crunch can also be very effective on the ball. To do this, get a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/workout+bench" rel="tag">workout bench</a> or other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sturdy+object" rel="tag">sturdy object</a> to place next to the ball. Lie on your back on a ball, and grab the bench behind you to stabilize yourself. Now raise your legs, with knees bent, until they are above your hips. To begin the motion, pull your knees toward your head until they are close to your eyes. Now uncurl and go past the starting position until your body is straight. Remember to keep your back as stable as you can on the ball. Now move into the starting position again. <br /><br /> The Swiss ball can be effective in doing upper body exercises as well. If you are looking for a more challenging pushup, put the Swiss ball under your shins with your hands on the floor, and push out a few sets. If that is too easy for you, switch to one handed pushups. You can also rest on the Swiss ball on your stomach and arch your back up to do back raises. If you want to do the dumbbell bench press, but don't have a bench handy, the Swiss ball makes for a fine substitute. <br /><br /> The Swiss ball is like any other exercise tool: it only works if you are using it right. It can be very effective, but you don't need to include it in every exercise you do. If you're not sure whether or not your Swiss ball exercises are working, consult with an experienced personal trainer.   <bio>Chris McCombs is a <a href="http://www.socalworkout.com/personal_trainer_irvine.html" >http://www.socalworkout.com/personal_trainer_irvine.html</a> with specialty in fat loss and muscle toning.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The soldier released his parachute mid-air. He reaches the ground and wades through a murky swamp, making sure to raise his rifle above his head. He uses his compass to move towards the coordinates he was given. Then, he peers through his binoculars and sees the fortress that he and his <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/battalion" rel="tag">battalion</a> have to storm for a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/search+and+rescue+mission" rel="tag">search and rescue mission</a>. After surveying the place for a few minutes, he grabs the communications receiver attached his uniform belt and calls headquarters. They inform him that he and his battalion have to strike at exactly 16:00. The soldier looks at his wrist, only to discover that he had left his <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+watch" rel="tag">Swiss army watch</a> at the base!<br /><br /> <br /><br /> The Army, the Army!  Switzerland's military has the characteristics of both a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/regular+army" rel="tag">regular army</a> and a militia. It is probably best known for its up-to-date equipment, including <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+watches" rel="tag">Swiss army watches</a>. The army's origins can be traced to the Old Swiss Confederacy's cantonal troops. This group had two functions: it may be called upon to help its own members, or to fight outside threats. These armies were later changed to a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/federal+army" rel="tag">federal army</a>. In the late 1980s, the size of the Swiss army began to shrink, and the trend continues to this day.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> Pilot Your Way Through Life  Among all the Swiss armed forces, the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+air+force" rel="tag">Swiss Air Force</a> is the smallest. Consequently, there is much competition to get positions as aircraft pilots. In fact, at the age of 16, parachutists and potential pilots must conduct training during their own spare time. One can join a unit of candidate pilots after finishing officer school and finishing basic training. Though you may not join the Swiss Army, you must practice or train hard for any type of position you wish to have. A Swiss army watch can assist you in this undertaking by ensuring that you keep appointments and follow schedules. <br /><br /> An Engineering Marvel  Soldiers training for Switzerland's military learn several practical lessons. Although they are far from begin boy scouts, the Swiss Army lives by the same rule. "Be prepared" is a mantra Swiss soldiers have to live out. It is thus not surprising that Swiss army items, such as the Swiss army watch, are engineered with the same mantra in mind. The Swiss army watch, like the Swiss Army itself, is ready for just about any blow or challenge. Designed to be durable, classy, and precise, the Swiss army watch is the very epitome of everything that's wonderful and amazing about Swiss engineering. <br /><br /> Keeping Time Uniquely  What makes a Swiss army watch so distinctive? The first is the workmanship. The Swiss, in general, are expert watchmakers. Switzerland is even touted as the watch-making center of the world. The Swiss are such excellent watchmakers, in fact, watchmaking is one of the country's oldest, if not the largest, industry. The Swiss government supports watchmaking in every way, including establishing schools and courses for training people in the craft of making Swiss army watches. Other reasons a Swiss army watch is on a league of its own include remarkable finish, durability, precision, and incredible attention to detail. <br /><br /> So, should you get your own Swiss army watch? The answer is a resounding yes. A Swiss army watch will not only help you keep track of of time, it will let you keep time accurately and uniquely.   <bio>Get your very own Swiss army watch (  <a href="http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmywatch.html" >http://executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmywatch.html</a> ) when you visit <a href="http://ExecutiveGiftShoppe.com" >http://ExecutiveGiftShoppe.com</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Most Swiss watches are known as luxury items because of their high prices. If you have thousands of dollars to spare for a designer item, it is not a bad thing to buy watches from top makers like Bell and Ross, Breitling, Cartier, Chanel, Ferrari, Franck Muller, IWC, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/officine+panerai" rel="tag">Officine Panerai</a>, Omega, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/patek+philippe" rel="tag">Patek Philippe</a>, Rolex and more. But if you are not earning a major salary from a very high-paying job, it is an impractical thing to buy designer timepieces. If you want a luxury watch but you do not have the money, you can opt for affordable substitutes. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+replica+watches" rel="tag">Swiss replica watches</a> can still be mistaken for the real thing. You can still make your most elegant wardrobe look even more dashing with fake Swiss watches.<br><br>You can shop for accessories occasionally. However, spending thousands of dollars on a watch that you will not be able to use all of the time is a total waste of money. This goes especially if you are the provider of your family. If you are the kind of person that is living a simple lifestyle, you do not need flashy <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/genuine+swiss+watches" rel="tag">genuine Swiss watches</a>. You are not required to wear a diamond-studded Patek Philippe while attending your kid's school activities. You also do not need a $7000 Rolex while you are grilling barbecue for a Sunday dinner.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Your little boy has finally grown up. It <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/seems+like+yesterday+that" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/seems+like+yesterday" rel="tag">seems like yesterday</a> that</a> you were carrying him in your arms. And, in a few years that seemed like a flash, he has turned into the sixteen-year-old before you. It is a moment any father would be proud to witness. As you regard him with pride, you can't help but wonder what you should give him for his birthday. A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/new+car" rel="tag">new car</a> would've been perfect but you have already made up your mind to give it to him after his graduation. <br /><br /> The Next Best Thing To A New Car <br /><br /> Perhaps you could give him a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+knife" rel="tag">Swiss army knife</a>. Having survived many battles and camping trips, a durable Swiss army knife is the best way to spell out endurance and perseverance. These two qualities will serve him well as he <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/journeys" rel="tag">journeys</a> through life. Life can be harsh and he may meet a lot of setbacks that he would need to get over in the future. <br /><br />  Being an object that is used in the military, a Swiss army knife can also be a symbol of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/loyalty" rel="tag">loyalty</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/devotion" rel="tag">devotion</a>. Many soldiers have fallen and risen with their knife safely tuck in their belongings. Better yet, when their ammo has run out, their knife becomes their only hope for survival. The Swiss army knife has accompanied many soldiers in battle and has stayed with them through the good times and the bad times. With this as a gift, you can emphasize the importance of loyalty and devotion in any relationship. It is also the best way to say that you will be with him through thick or thin. And, just like a Swiss army knife, you can always be counted on. <br /><br /> Because this compact instrument contains a collection of tools that can be used in many situations, many boy scouts have a Swiss army knife. Whether it's as simple as opening a can of beans or as complicated as attending to someone who needs first aid, the Swiss army knife is always ready to help. By giving him one as a gift, you are sending him the message that he should always be prepared. In life, many obstacles will come his way. And, because you care about him, you want to remind him that he should always be watchful so that he could prepare himself to overcome them. <br /><br /> It's More Than a Knife <br /><br /> A Swiss army knife usually consists of a blade, a can opener, a screw driver, a reamer and other day-to-day tools. It is portable and compact. And, you can take it anywhere. It perfectly carries the message that size doesn't matter. No matter how small it is, its efficiency as a tool doesn't decrease. And, because it has different tools and sizes, it can suit many personalities. Even better, it can deliver all the messages that you'd like to relay to your son. It symbolizes all the virtues and lessons that you would like to pass on.   <bio>Looking for a swiss army knife (<a href="http://www.executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmyknife.html" >http://www.executivegiftshoppe.com/swissarmyknife.html</a>)?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Let's face it. The <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/battle+of+the+sexes" rel="tag">battle of the sexes</a> has not answered any questions. If anything, we're more baffled about the workings of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/opposite+sex" rel="tag">opposite sex</a> than ever. It's no wonder why dating and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/relationships" rel="tag">relationships</a> are such tedious exercises. Each expects too much from the other, leading to disappointment and ultimately, disaster. <br /><br /> The Almost <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/perfect+man" rel="tag">Perfect Man</a> <br /><br /> Is there such a thing as a perfect man? This is a question foremost in most single women's minds. After years of searching, most women have come to the conclusion that there isn't. There are those lucky enough, however, to have found a man close enough to perfection and definitely mate-worthy. These men dress right, have good hygiene, and keep great jobs. They are stable in every possible way =96 financially, emotionally, and mentally. If you do manage to snag one of these rare species, do your best to keep him. Chances are it'll be awhile before you find another, or worse, never. <br /><br /> Know One When You See One <br /><br /> How do you know when you've found a keeper? Men are a strange bunch and most women can't tell right away that they've found the cream of the crop. Some women will tell you to look at the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/teeth" rel="tag">teeth</a>. If they're too perfect or too flawed, dump him. A man who is forever-and-ever material supposedly has teeth that are just right. <br /><br /> Short of prying open every one of your date's mouths, there are, of course, better ways to know if a man is a keeper. Over the years, women have accumulated intelligence on how to tell, ranging from finding out about his past relationships to whether he has a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+knife" rel="tag">Swiss Army knife</a>, the latter being a very effective determinant. If your man owns a Swiss Army knife and actually knows how to use it, start looking for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/wedding+dresses" rel="tag">wedding dresses</a>. <br /><br /> Knife It For What It's Worth <br /><br /> So what's all the fuss about a Swiss Army knife? It's quite simple, really. A Swiss Army knife symbolizes responsibility and readiness, meaning a man is responsible enough to take care of a family and might be quite ready for matrimony. You've just found yourself a Boy Scout =96 always prepared. A Swiss Army knife is also a beacon of masculinity and maturity. You'll never have to wonder if he bats for the other team, or if you have a big baby under your care. <br /><br /> Of course, the man's Swiss Army knife has to be more than for show. He has to know what each of those steel blades are for and must have used each of them at least once. After all, anyone can own a Swiss Army knife, but very few actually know the merits of owning such a tool. <br /><br /> Indeed, finding the perfect (or almost perfect) man is a task almost as gargantuan as finding the Holy Grail, especially in this day and age when nobody believes in destiny anymore. There isn't always somebody for someone, only for a select few. Not everyone believes in happy-ever-after anymore, only that it's happy right now. But if you believe with all your heart that The One exists for you somewhere, chances are he is.   <bio>Trying to find a gift for your man?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've had a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+knife" rel="tag">Swiss Army knife</a> with me since I was a college student. I had to have one when I went off to college. I guess it was something about the "be prepared" feeling a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/victorinox+swiss+army" rel="tag">Victorinox swiss army</a> knife exudes. That knife is long since lost, but I foundly remember it. It was the Mechanic model.<br><br>These days I carry a pink classic on my key chain so that my keys are easy to spot when on my desk or in my purse. I also have a yellow one in my desk drawer just in case I can't find my pink one. Or, maybe someone needs to borrow a little pocket knife in an emergency.<br><br>Anyhow, I wrote this goofy <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/little+poem" rel="tag">little poem</a> one day when I was thinking entirely too long and hard about <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+army+knives" rel="tag">swiss army knives</a>:<br><br>Kill a bear<br>Chop down a tree<br>My Swiss Army Knife<br>Is there for me<br><br>Clip your nail<br>Open a box<br>With my tried and true<br>Victorinox<br><br>Boy Scout pal<br>Officer's friend<br>When you need a tool<br>It's what you send<br><br>Up in space<br>Down on the ground<br>It's in your pocket<br>And can be found<br><br>Always there<br>When times get rough<br>There's never a job<br>That is too tough<br><br>Stainless steel<br>Red cellidor<br>When you need to cut<br>There's nothing more<br><br>Open some wine<br>And pop a cap<br>If there's a party<br>Drink in a snap<br><br>Plug it in<br>To USB<br>Transfer documents<br>So flawlessly<br><br>MP3<br>And a laser<br>Show your girl your knife<br>You'll amaze her<br><br>Whatever else<br>Could possibly<br>Be the coolest thing<br>For us to see?<br><br>When it rings<br>I will not roam<br>I'll just flip open<br>Swiss Army phone<br><br>Swiss army knives are perfect gifts for everyone on your shopping list. The Classic model is small and will fit on anyone's keychain. It features a key ring, small blade, nail file with screwdriver tip, toothpick, tweezer and scissors. I find the scissors to be especially handy when I need to clip my nail or cut a little string off my clothes. The most popular colors for the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/victorinox+classic" rel="tag">Victorinox Classic</a> include the red 53001, pink 53005 and black 53003 models. But you can get a classic in these colors as well: assorted rainbow tie dye colors, yellow, camo, blue green, white, grey, purple and with white flowers on them. The Classic even comes in sterling silver models which rival the finest pocket knives available at places like Tiffany.<br><br>Someone that fancies a larger model should definitely look at the 53501 Red Swiss Champ. That has been the most popular large knife Victorinox has ever made. It has a lot of stuff packed into it without it costing a fortune. It runs about $68 to $75 online. Those that want the Champ on steroids best take a look at the SwissChamp XLT.<br><br>There are several hundred models of swiss army knives to choose from. The best approach is to think about which features you must have and then pick a knife with those features. Some people can't live without scissors, others really want pliers. A small pen really comes in handy on the Signature models. It's up to your taste and budget which one you pick.<bio>Get a Victorinox <a href="http://www.swissknivesexpress.com" title= "swiss army knife">swiss army knife</a> today from www.swissknivesexpress.com.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[For hundreds of years, Swiss clockmakers have set the standards by which clocks, and more recently watches, are judged. Today, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+watches" rel="tag">Swiss watches</a> are admired for their exquisite design and build quality. Rolex have carved their niche as the world's number one status symbol, exclusive to the rich and famous. Swatch, on the other hand, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/target" rel="tag">target</a> a slightly different demographic and are now the world's largest manufacturer of watches.<br><br>Many countries produce and export high quality watches. Yet, ask anyone on the street which country makes the best watches and 9 times out of 10 the answer will be Switzerland. So, how did Switzerland and watches become synonymous?<br><br>1541 (the year, not 19 minutes to 5)<br><br>To find the answer we need to turn the clock back to 1541. In this year <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/jean+calvin" rel="tag">Jean Calvin</a> implemented a series of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/statute+reforms" rel="tag">statute reforms</a> to impose a strict and uncompromising moral code on the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/city+of+geneva" rel="tag">city of Geneva</a> which, amongst other things, prohibited the wearing of jewels. This forced jewellers and goldsmiths to turn to a new craft, clock making. By the end of the 16th century <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+clocks" rel="tag">Swiss clocks</a>, particularly those from Geneva had already gained widespread recognition for their high quality and craftsmanship.<br><br>The tradition of quality and detail has been upheld for over five centuries, I doubt if there is any industry can make this claim. Swiss watch making somehow manages to combine state-of-the-art technology and innovation with creativity and passion. The results are evident: the first wristwatch, the first quartz watch, the first water resistant wristwatch, the thinnest wristwatch in the world, the smallest or the most expensive watch in the world, etc.<br><br>Status and the feel good factor<br><br>Brands were originally developed as labels of ownership, an early example would be branding of cattle to indicate ownership. Today, it is what brands do for people that matters, how they define their aspirations, image and status. Its doubtful if any brands manage this better than Longines, Rolex, Breitling, Tissot and dozens of others Swiss watch manufactures.<br><br>This success has created a black market where counterfeiters imitate the look of the most expensive Swiss watches. The build quality is usually poor, few actually keep time and the wearer will always know he is wearing a fake -- so will anyone that knows anything about watches.<br><br>Fortunately, the activities of the counterfeiter do little damage, the type of consumer that buys counterfeits is hardly likely to ever be in a position to own the real thing or experience the feel good factor that comes with it!<br><br>Get real<br><br>According to Swiss law a watch can only be considered Swiss if it is manufactured in Switzerland, its movement is Swiss (see below) and the manufacturer carries out the final inspection in Switzerland.<br><br>For the watch movement to be considered Swiss the movement must be assembled in Switzerland the movement has been inspected by the manufacturer in Switzerland and the components of Swiss manufacture account for at least 50 percent of the total value, excluding the cost of assembly.<bio>This post was contributed by http://www.outdoorgb.com/ the UK's number one online retailer of <a href="http://www.outdoorgb.com/c/swiss_military_quartz_watches/1686/">Swiss Military Watches</a>.</bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ When the time comes to invest in new <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cookware" rel="tag">cookware</a>, consider the importance and power of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/even+heat+distribution" rel="tag">even heat distribution</a>. Even heat distribution can not only help to ensure that you save on <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/energy+costs" rel="tag">energy costs</a> but also that your foods are cooked properly. <br /><br /> What components create the power of even heat distribution? <br /><br /> Less required energy contributes to the power of even heat distribution. In some cookware, especially larger <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fry+pans" rel="tag">fry pans</a> and saut=E9 pans, you need to turn the burner up - whether it is gas or electric - in order to heat the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/outer+edges" rel="tag">outer edges</a> of the pan's surface. <br /><br /> The problem with that is that it causes a hot spot in the center of the pan while bringing the perimeter up to temperature; the bigger problem is that the center will always be hotter than the edges. However, in cookware with the power of even heat distribution, a more moderate setting of the burner can be used and the edges of the pan will still achieve the same temperature as the center of the pan. <br /><br /> As a result, you have another component of the power of even heat distribution: your cookware will be of a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/uniform+temperature" rel="tag">uniform temperature</a>. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/that+means+that" rel="tag">That means that</a> all of the food that you cook in a pan that offers even heat distribution will cook at the same rate - whether it is at the outer edges of the pan or in the center. <br /><br /> Even heat distribution means that you will have to spend less time moving the food that you are preparing from one area of the pan to another so that you can be sure that it is all ready at the same point in time. <br /><br /> When you know that the pan you are using to prepare meals has the power of even heat distribution, you will have the added benefit of knowing that there is a lower risk that some of the foods that you are preparing will burn while others remain underdone. <br /><br /> In other words, the power of even heat distribution should not be difficult to understand. With even heat distribution, you will have fewer hassles while preparing meals for yourself or for your family. <br /><br /> Swiss Diamond cookware provides the power of even heat distribution. It also provides a number of additional benefits. <br /><br /> Among these benefits are:  1. A state of the art nonstick surface that has been reinforced with diamond crystals;  2. A dense, smooth nonstick surface that will not peel, warp or chip even if you use metal utensils while cooking;  3. Fat free cooking - because of its nonstick surface, Swiss Diamond cookware does not require the use of butter or oil to prepare your food; and  4. Easy cleanup. Simply wipe out your Swiss Diamond nonstick cookware and place the pan in the dishwasher to clean. <br /><br /> With Swiss Diamond cookware, you will be able to experience for yourself the power of even heat distribution. You will not have to worry about some spots becoming hotter than others; you will be able to know that the pan is an even temperature at the center and at its outer edges. You will quickly find with Swiss Diamond cookware that many of the stresses and hassles of cooking are no longer an issue. <br /><br /> Choose Swiss Diamond cookware: discover the power of even heat distribution - along with a state of the art nonstick technology - for yourself.   <bio>Robyn Cook is a partner in the <a href="http://swissdiamondstore.com" >http://swissdiamondstore.com</a> website, the webs only exclusive reseller of Swiss Diamond Cookware,<a href="http://www.swissdiamondstore.com" >http://www.swissdiamondstore.com</a>.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There is a common misconception that people who cannot store their unaccounted wealth in their own country open accounts in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+banks" rel="tag">Swiss banks</a>. Even though this may be true to an extent, Swiss banks are well known for their sophisticated and discreet banking services. <br /><br /> Many of the rich and famous like film stars, business entrepreneurs, top government officials, presidents, etc, are reputed to have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+bank+accounts" rel="tag"><a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+bank+account" rel="tag">Swiss bank account</a>s</a>. Then again, it is also said one need not be a multi-millionaire to open a Swiss bank account. <br /><br /> Brief Background of the Swiss Banking System <br /><br /> One of the most prosperous and economically advanced nations, Switzerland has the world's largest gross domestic product (GDP). There are nearly 400 banks in Switzerland, which range from the "Two Big Banks", to smaller banks, serving single communities or selective clients. Considered as the world's largest offshore financial center, the Swiss banking sector is renowned for its privacy, stability and protection of their customer's information and assets. The Federal Banking Commission (FBC) regulates these banks. <br /><br /> Opening a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/swiss+account" rel="tag">Swiss Account</a> <br /><br /> Often freely available, a Swiss bank account provides total confidentiality, strict privacy, and is tax-free. However, certain documents are required as proof to open a Swiss account. For example, people who are not residents of Switzerland need to furnish their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/passports" rel="tag">passports</a>, along with a <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/passport+size+photograph" rel="tag">passport size photograph</a>. Depending on the profession, a current bank statement would be required to determine the client's current financial condition. Along with this, certain personal information, like the date of birth, country of origin, etc., is also required. <br /><br /> A useful feature of Swiss banking is that it can also be done via correspondence as long as the customers follow bank rules and regulations. The bank and customer could interact through the Internet, telephone or snail <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mail" rel="tag">mail</a>. <br /><br /> However, a drawback of Swiss banking is that non-residents are expected to pay a hefty amount as deposit, and, the smaller accounts are more expensive to maintain. There is a clause especially for US citizens wherein they are expected to refrain from making any business transaction through their Swiss accounts, to keep their account privacy intact. <br /><br /> Deposit <br /><br /> A security deposit is needed in case the customer wants to obtain a credit card. Approximately 1.5 to 2 times the monthly credit limit is demanded, depending on the bank the customer chooses. This deposit is returned when the customer decides to discontinue the credit card, and has paid all outstanding bills. <br /><br /> Confidentiality <br /><br /> There are legends about mysterious numbered accounts in Swiss banks. Some high security bank accounts are given pseudonyms or special names instead of issuing them in the name of the customer, to preserve the anonymity of the customer. This number or name is used wherever the customer is referred. Moreover, even bank employees are expected to respect the customer's privacy, the failure of which could land them in prison for several months. <br /><br /> However, Swiss banks, being very particular about preventing money laundering, crosscheck the authenticity of the information provided by the customer. If, during the scrutiny, the bank finds the information of a potential or existing customer connected to some criminal activity, a Swiss judge or prosecutor issues a lifting order. These investigations could include international criminal investigation for tax fraud, insider trading, or the infamous terrorist financing of recent times. <br /><br /> Closing of an Account <br /><br /> Despite a few negative notions about Swiss banking, closing an account is said to be easier than expected. No financial penalty is demanded, and neither is the money held hostage, like it is done in other off shore banking. <br /><br /> To conclude, the secrecy and discreet nature of Swiss banking makes them convenient and dependable. This not only helps customers to save money, but also is a viable means of attaining economic superiority in the business world and society as a whole.   <bio>Joe Kenny writes for the UK personal finance sites <a href="http://www.ukpersonalloanstore.co.uk" >http://www.ukpersonalloanstore.co.uk</a> and also <a href="http://www.cardguide.co.uk" >http://www.cardguide.co.uk</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[A <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/golf+exercise" rel="tag">golf exercise</a> ball, also known as a stability ball or a Swiss exercise ball, is an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/inflatable+ball" rel="tag">inflatable ball</a> used during workouts as an alternative piece of exercise equipment. No matter what your personal goals may be at the gym, you can achieve them quickly and more efficiently substituting the Swiss exercise ball for the conventional <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exercise+bench" rel="tag">exercise bench</a>. Using this inflatable piece of equipment will help you get in-tune with what your body needs and can even optimize your body's overall health.<br><br>Proper Back Alignment<br><br>The Swiss exercise ball was primarily used in physical therapy centers to promote proper back alignment. This piece of fitness equipment is used in conjunction with physical rehabilitation programs to relieve back pain by strengthening and developing core <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/body+muscles" rel="tag">body muscles</a>. While in use, the Swiss exercise ball creates balance instability. As a result, your back will constantly maneuver itself to seek stability which will strengthen back muscles and properly align your spine.<br><br>Ultimate Abs<br><br>Getting the perfect beach body equipped with six-pack abs is finally an achievable goal with the Swiss exercise ball. Because the ball requires your back muscles and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/abdominal+muscles" rel="tag">abdominal muscles</a> to work together, the exercises you would normally perform on the floor or <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/work+bench" rel="tag">work bench</a> double in efficiency. Being that there is an element of fun while using this equipment, precise <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exercise+moves" rel="tag">exercise moves</a> that have been created to target this problem area become easier to complete.<br><br>Stretching<br><br>Exercise styles such as Yoga and Pilates, focus on stretching your muscles which will, in turn, both tone and define them. Using an exercise ball in conjunction with these styles will ease the muscle stretching process because utilizing the ball allows your body to move in and out of stretching positions fluidly. Additionally, stretching your muscles will keep joints from tightening which can limit mobility at a later stage in life.<br><br>Core Stability<br><br>Core stability exercises can enhance your body's mobility and flexibility. A bridge between mind and body is created while working these particularly designed exercise moves. Being able to get in-tune with your body can only promote, not hinder, your overall health. Core stability involves all of the muscles of the mid-section and provides you with the support necessary to properly complete activities from minor daily activities to more advanced activities.<br><br>Lose Weight and Feel Great<br><br>An added bonus to incorporating the Swiss exercise ball to your workout program is the weight loss that accompanies targeting your body's core. When you perform exercises that strengthen your muscles, body fat is burned in the process. The results are lean, well-defined muscles. Any exercise performed with the ball ensures efficiency which means your workouts will produce better results quickly.<br><br>The benefits to using the Swiss exercise ball are vast. The feeling of working out is replaced with a sense of play and the results are amazing.
