Bamboo goes to the top

Totally Bamboo has unveiled its new solid bamboo countertops -- the first company to market the new 1-1/2 and 2-inch thick planks ready to be fabricated into kitchen counters or islands.

Heat what you need

 Imagine never running out of hot water again. Rheem tankless water heaters are a better way to heat the water you need every day, providing on-demand hot water continuously whenever you need it. You only heat the water you need, when you need it -- without spending money (and wasting energy) on keeping a large tank of hot water. And because there's no tank, Rheem tankless hot water heaters take up much less space, and can be located indoors or outdoors. If you need to change the water temperature, there's a handy wall-mounted thermostat nearby. For more information, visit www.rheemtankless.com

A quick pick up

 Until now, there has been no easy way to pick up pine cones, but the Coneivore makes quick work without the typical bending and reaching. You simply plunge the lightweight 36-inch handled tube over the top of a pine cone, snatching it off the ground and into the tube. The tube typically holds 15 to 18 cones and can be dumped out when full. The handy Coneivore allows you to pick up pine cones without bending over or raking them into piles. It also prevents sharp pine cone barbs -- and you can use it for apples and more. For more information, visit www.coneivore.com
