Lovely design, but these are not photographs-- they're renderings. It seems this does not (yet) exist in reality, much like Megatron or Gollum. "Find more information and photos..."

EmmieB, a bidet toilet seat may do the trick-- check out the Toto "washlet" and Brondell "swash." Very rare outside Japan-- surprising given their universal appeal.

If by "greener" we mean more efficient use of energy, the microwave oven wins big time. Most of the energy from any conventional oven or stove (induction cook tops possibly excepted) is going into...

It's important to separate traditional, effective treatments like sinus irrigation from "homeopathic medicine." Rejecting media-fueled hypochondria should not mean rejecting science-- modern medic...
