Stay in touch with your local weather conditions

http://www.amazon.com/The Bushnell WeatherFX 7-Day Weather Forecaster is a handy wall or table gadget to simplify your life, operating on either 4 "AA" batteries or AC power. When used with the included AC adapter, the screen's backlit color changes as the forecasted outdoor temperature changes-making for an easy at-a-glance aid in what to wear during seasons of transient weather.




In addition to the automatic clock, temperature, and forecasting capacities of the smaller 5-day FX model, this version also informs the viewer of the current wind speed and direction as well as the UV index ratings.



The WeatherFX has an internal radio (with alarm) which synchronizes to the US atomic clock, and any weather alerts issued in your area will be prominently displayed. While the Weather FX will not align to every location in the USA, all major cities are included and many smaller cities are accessible as well.

Forecasts for 7 days updated every 15 minutes

Clock automatically adjusted from the atomic clock broadcast from WWVB in Fort Collins, CO

Watch the superbowl with this Plasma HDTV

Panasonic Viera TC-P42C1 Plasma 720p HDTV. Flat-panel televisions based on plasma technology continue to be favored by home theater experts over LCD technology due to plasma's superiority in producing very dark blacks and keeping up with the fastest action without blurring objects in motion. The TC-P42C1 is no exception, and it has the added benefit of an entry-level price for plasma technology.
