Dorm Room Air Purifier–6 Purifier Features That Will Improve Dorm Room Air
Healthy dorm room air can determine whether your student stays healthy and has a great college experience or gets sick easily and struggles to stay current.
Dorm rooms can often be old, dusty, and have antiquated heating and air systems, all of which can keep airborne particles ready to be inhaled or ingested. This is definitely not good for anyone, particularly those who suffer from allergies, asthma or other chronic respiratory conditions.
Dormitories that are new or newly renovated are often full of paint smells, fumes from adhesives used when installing new tile or linoleum. And even though every attempt is made to control dust from new construction or renovation, it sometimes takes months for the dust to literally settle.
Those can be perfectly miserable months if your student has any sensitivity to these pollutants. And a roommate that uses products that are fragrance-rich or insists on burning incense can add in an unpleasant way to the mix of irritants in the air.
Bottom line is that in a dorm room you have very little control over air quality unless you filter the air. A portable dorm room air purifier is your first and best defense, and it needs to have the following 6 features if it is to be effective.
1. Light Weight – It should be light enough to carry easily from one side of the room to the other or across campus in case of a room change. Wheels should be an option to further facilitate portability.
2. On Duty 24 Hours – A purifier with a split capacitor motor insures that it can operate safely 24 hours a day and keep up with both the expected and unexpected pollutants in the air. This continual coverage assures that your student will always walk into a room that is comfortable to be in because airborne pollutants have not been allowed to build up while they were away.
3. Low Maintenance – A college student is probably not going to be interested in spending free time maintaining an air purifier. And even if they were, filter maintenance seems like such a misuse of valuable time. An effective unit should be able to take care of your student and itself without constant management. Avoid those cleaners that require washing, charging, spraying, or frequent filter replacement. They drive up the cost, and even if your student is willing to do the maintenance, it will add considerably to the amount of time when the filter is not filtering the air.
4. Long Lasting Filter – Look for a cleaner that only needs its filter changed once every 5 years. This will take most students through their college career and beyond. This means if you buy right, you’ll only need to buy once, and that in itself saves time and money.
5. Flexible Placement – Dorm rooms are often cramped with not much floor space after the prerequisite beds and desks. So an air purifier that can be placed as close as 6 inches to any surface makes it easier to live with. It should also be able to operate high or low in the room to be the most accommodating.
6. HEPA Filtration – With the Swine Flu, and other viruses so easily able to spread through the air, it makes good sense to select a purifier with a high efficiency particle arresting (shortened to HEPA) filter that can eliminate airborne bacteria and viruses as small as .3 microns.

I just build a 5 feet wide by 7 feet tall bookcase. It is oak, materials were about $120, my time was about 20 hours without finishing, add another 10 hours for finishing. My guess is you are looking at $1,200 for the two, could be much more though depending on wood species and complexity.
Very nice! You sing so well!

Your rabbit is just marking her territory. Rabbits do this with pee, as well as poop (which not many people know). The only way to stop the territorial pooping is by getting her spayed. Female rabbits go through their sexual maturity stage around 5-6 months old, so i have a feeling this is what yours is going through right at this very moment! During this time, the female gets very territorial, which is why she is pooping everywhere, this is her way of saying "this is mine, and this is mine…" If she were just pooping normally, your right, it would just be a couple, but with these territorial poops, it is about 14 poops per 3 seconds. My male rabbit does this…which is why he is going to be neutered soon. So, short answer, the only way she will stop is if she is spayed. Also, this will make her even more friendly and loveable! Most vets will spay and neuter rabbits around 6 months old. call and ask your vet
good luck! (oh and do not listen to any one else who gave you answeres. you should actually report them for not being helpful to you at all)

Don't get me started on this topic. Things we have left to do are:
* Pack up everything and move house 800 miles. Yeah, fun.
* Paint baby's room, pull up carpet, lay new flooring.
* Buy everything. I've so far got 3 clothing items for the baby and that's it.
And I have just over 5 weeks left…. aarrrggghhhhh!
Why not try eBay?
Try running a search for "room divider screen".
I tried it myself and saw some really nice ones.
