You don't need a window to have a view.
Iowa-based company Sky Factory makes a virtual window called eScape that's a high-definition LED screen inside a casement window. The screen plays videos of nature scenes, complete with sound -- and you can even add music to the mix, if you wish.
The eScape lets you choose from about three dozen scenes, each of which contains eight one-hour videos that can play sequentially for eight hours. You can watch the moon rise over the Wind River Range in Wyoming, for example, or enjoy water cascading over Maine's Screw Auger Falls. Customized scenes are available, too.
The window comes with a choice of trim styles and finishes to help it fit into your home.
Pricing depends on a number of variables, but a company spokesperson described the window as a high-end installation. Information is at www.skyfactory.com.
Tough wipes Tub O'Towels is an amped-up version of cleaning wipes.
The disposable towels were originally designed for contractors and are thicker and bigger than typical wipes. They're soaked in a cleaner that the manufacturer says will remove tough messes such as grease, tar and permanent marker.
The citrus-based formula contains lanolin, aloe vera and vitamin E to make it easier on hands.
