Asked to design a fitting repository for a client’s valuable collection of J.R.R. Tolkien manuscripts and artifacts, architect Peter Archer went to the source—the fantasy novels that describe the abodes of the diminutive Hobbits. “I came back my client and said, ‘I’m not going to make this look like Hollywood,’” Archer recalled, choosing to focus instead on a finely-crafted structure embodying a sense of history and tradition. The site was critical too—and Archer found the perfect one a short walk away from his client’s main house, where an 18th-century dry-laid wall ran through the property. “I thought, wouldn’t it be wonderful to build the structure into the wall?” Not only did the wall anchor the cottage, but stones from another section were used in the cottages construction. “It literally grew out of the site,” Archer said. Perhaps stranger things have happened in Tolkien’s world, but few houses in this one go to such lengths to capture a fictional fantasy in the context of... See less

Since moving to Virginia, I spend at least a month every spring feeling like I'm waking up with a bad cold. I had promised myself that this year, I would try a good-quality air purifier. I debated among the Sharp FP-N60CX Plasma Cluster Air Purifier, the Mitsubishi PlasmaPure Quiet HEPA Air Purifier, and this one. In the end, they all had high ratings, and I am sure they'd all have worked well, but I liked the looks of this one. Turns out, it looks even cooler in person. More importantly, I wake up feeling great. Also, it's inaudible on the night setting which is important since it's in my bedroom. The smell sensor really works - drop a new pile of laundry near it and it will go off because of that dryer sheet smell. My room is just so much nicer now and although it can't follow me around and take care of my allergies the rest of the day, it let's me get a good night's sleep, which is all I could ask for. To get into the technical side of it, there are two sensors - one for pollen/dust... See less

We've tried several AIO diapers and found these to be the best so far, and the least expensive, compared to pro-wraps and other high end AIO diapers. The attached insert is very long (you double it over when using it) so it dries quickly in the dryer, which saves a lot of time and money. The elastic is really strong and so is the velcro. Our son can take off his disposables (we use 7th Gen. diapers, at night and when traveling) but can't undo these. The store even made a personal call to me before shipping to pick out colors. We weren't sure we were up for all the washing, etc. for cloth, but have found that by just leaving the washer half full all day, we just drop each used diaper in and do the load at the end of the day, no fuss, no muss. We have an 11 month old, though, so I have no idea if these rather large diapers could comfortably be folded to fit a newborn - I'm a bit skeptical on that one. Also a great tip, for those who prefer to avoid rinsing poopy diapers, try: Biosoft... See less

These bottles are the BEST. They are a bit more expensive, but well worth it. The wide-mouthed bottle is easy to clean, and it holds 8 oz. of water plus 4 scoops of formula easily so you can mix bottles as you need them. The nipples are fabulous...my daughter is 12 months old and has been using the same nipples for 9 months now! My baby likes a slow-flow nipple but she sucks very hard, and these NEVER collapse. The silicon does not break down or get sticky, even after repeated washings in my scalding-hot dishwasher. The only weird thing about these bottles is if the collars are on too tight, the bottles leak a bit. Easily remedied by not over-tightening the collars. I tried just about every bottle and nipple on the market and these are by far the best. The durability alone makes them worth the extra $$. One caveat...if you have been using a "traditional" shaped bottle/nipple, there is an adjustment period for both you and the baby. At first I thought these were awkward to hold and my... See less

My child has been using the clear hard plastic advent bottle since birth. He had used the slow flow nipple and changed through all 4 nipple stages. It has been a pain to clean 5+ bottles a day. With this new system: all I have to do is clean the nipple and the screw on lid. The liners are disposabel. TRAVELLING is a CINCH, On my two weeks vacation, all I have to carry is 2 tempo nurser and as 5 nipples, bottle liners and 2 sippees attachment. All I have to do is wash the attachments at night. BTW, the sipee ad on works with the system if you remove the no spill guard. In case you asked- why didn't I use other travel system.....my son would not feed on the evenflo and various brand nipples. Comment | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) See less
