This is pretty impressive. Here's the details:
Live the Smart lifestyle with the SilverSTAT 7, a true advanced Smart Energy Thermostat that seeks to replace the standard household thermostat with an advanced home climate control system. SilverSTAT 7 not only provides all the features of an intelligent 7 day programmable thermostat, but also features Smart Energy In-Home Display (IHD) to help monitor utility usage and expenses for green energy management.
The device is elegantly designed with its 7’’ touch screen display that illustrates the distribution of household energy down to individual appliances. With its IEEE 802.15.4 wireless interface, the SilverSTAT 7 will speak to the new smart meters that will have the ability to send information on real-time electricity and gas use in households directly to the utility companies.

I like the look of this case. I would like it better if it was made out of a darker wood, but that's just me. It also helps out the environment, how is explained below:
Beautiful . . .
In the hands of a craftsman, wood is simply the most beautiful material around. Crafted from select US hardwoods and Bamboo, each case has its own unique character.
Tough . . .
Wood is tough stuff – it’s nature’s version of carbon fiber. Naturally rigid and impact-resistant, when reinforced with steel pins, it’s serious protection for your iPod/iPhone.
VERY Renewable
For every tree we use, we replant 100 through our partnership with The Arbor Day Foundation and the US Forrestry Service to re-forrest areas damaged by fire and other natural disasters.
They're a little expensive at $40, but that's not horrible. You can grab one at the Vers site HERE.

I took some notes to day while watching the Bears game at the local sports bar, and thought I would share:
I have no idea who the Verizon game girl is, but it was a good choice.
Long pass by Stafford. Really not happy about that.
Two penalties, one totally phantom, and the Lions score. What crap.
Great run by Forte. Hopefully he does that all day.
Awesome run by Cutler. As the Bears fan next to me said though, "You never really want to see your franchise QB helicopter."
All tied at seven now. Time to get wings.
Just caught a Chiefs cheerleader riding a horse. Also a good choice.
Tampa Bay just scored on Washington. If the Redskins lose this game, their coach better update his resume.
And freaking Detroit scores. If the Bears don't start putting Stafford on his ass, this looks like it's going to be a shootout.
First punt of the game, and it's by the Bears. Good punt though. Need to start blitzing.
Terrible pass by Stafford, and yet the Bears kill themselves again with a penalty.
Great catch by Bennett.
Beat pick up the easy TD and it's all tied up. Need to stop the Lions on defense a few times, and make them work at it.
On my forth Jack and Coke. Going to be an interesting day.
Bears get an INT. Great defensive play by the Bears. Hopefully the Lions have come back down to Earth, and back to being bad.
Hester just took a hit. Bad for the Bears, bad for my fantasy team, bad for me.
Bears, get the FG, but there's a flag.
Bears go for it on 4th, get the TD. The two Bears fans here go wild.
Got my wings. Really, is there a better food on the planet? Right now, I don't think so.
Hester is heading into the locker room, NOT good.
There was just a Browns fan dissertation that they might have a chance to win, because the Bengals uniforms are close enough in color to the Browns that Anderson might accidentally throw a complete pass. Gotta love jaded fans.
Lions throw a long ball that was sooooo not a catch. Bears challenge it. If it isn't overturned, the four Jack and Cokes in me might throw something.
Call stands. That was terrible. On the up side, I maintain composure.
Lions have to punt. I'm calling it Karma for the horrible call.
Fumble by Cutler. Bears hold onto it, but Cutler gets sacked next play. The loss of Hester already being felt?
Hate it when the Bears have to punt, but putting the Lions on the 2 doesn't suck.
Hello Mr. Number 5 Jack and Coke. Also thinking about more wings, which is a bad idea.
3rd and 7 from the five and they give up the first down. Dammit.
We're at the two minute warning, Bears need to keep them out of the endzone.
Bears fan next to me ordered 18 wings, in groups of 6, with three different sauces. Need to make a mental note to do that next week.
Bears play defense like crap, and the Lions score.
Just had a Packers fan sit down next to me, and tell me he roots for the Packers, and whoever plays the Bears. I told him to leave while smiling. He thought it was a joke and laughed with me. I wasn't joking.
And at the half, it's tied at 21. Also, my 6th Jack and coke showed up. I'm both interested and worried about what my tab is going to be.
Texans are wailing on the Raiders at half time. Really upset I chickened out on putting $20 on the Texans.
The Bud Light Tailgate Tested/Approved commercials make me want to punch whomever thought them up.
Knox runs the kickoff back. Freaking sweet. Also sweet? My iPhone just corrected my spelling for freaking.
3rd and 24 and the Lions run the draw. I love it when your opponent plays for the punt.
Bears have to kick the field goal. I thought it was wide right for sure, but it hooks back in. Bears up by 10, and I'm thinking about J&C #7.
In the Browns game, Anderson throws an INT. No one is shocked.
Huge sack. Then on 2nd and 19, the Lions run the draw. Way to play for the punt.
At least they tried to throw it on 3rd and 14. Lions have to punt though.
Bears have to punt. Still up by 10, but until we're up by 21, I'm not happy.
Stafford with the fumble. Bears recover and the crowd of two goes wild.
3rd and on the 2, and Cutler's foot gets stepped on, and the play goes bad. Bears kick the field goal though , and it's a 13 point game.
The Bengals horrible play is killing my Parlay bet. I knew I should have dumped that game.
Lions punting, always a good thing.
I'm contemplating when the last time the Bears scored 50+ points. Should.have taken the over on this game.
The Peyton Manning DirecTV commercials are feaking great.
Bears have to punt again. Seemslike both offenses have stalled at this point.
Every freaking 3rd down, the Lions pick it up. Terrible.
We're now up to three Bears fans. Lions are still driving.
Bears with the sack, Lions with the field goal. Bears still up by 10.
Stafford might have gotten hurt on the last sack. They're looking at his knee. If he's hurt, Detriot might as well call it a year.
Cincinnati is going to cost me $20. Damn Browns.
There's a Gieco commercial with a lizard hissing at a guy. Still haven't actually heard the commercial, still damn funny though.
Washington wins. Good news for their coach's job.
Forte in for the score. Forte bitches. Fortre.
Ok, I realize that last entry may have been in poor taste. I blame the Jack. Bears up by 17.
Stafford is out of the game, Culpepper is in.
Lions go for it on 4th, don't get it, and that should be the game.
Browns block the extra point, and that games tied. Need the damn Bengals to win by more than 3 1/2.
Bears score again. Happy that Wolfe got in. All around good.
And that's the game. Bears win by 24. Very nice.
The Bengals of course win by 3 in OT, thereby killing my Parlay bet.
At this point, it's totally Go Saints, as I have $20 on them to win. Wish me luck.

Not a lot of details on this one. It sounds pretty decent from what little info there is though.
I'm going to be in Las Vegas from Dec. 10th to the 15th. I might actually throw a few posts up if I think of something interesting, but I'll probably just be playing poker all day and totally forget.
Pretty awesome sweepstakes here, especially if you're a football fan. Here's the details:
It's not exactly a Vegas trip, but the bonus here is that you can win more than enough cash to get to there. Here's the basic details:
