Samsung is going to make sure your light bulbs use as little energy as possible, last literally decades and sort of look like a heat sink to boot. The company, which just released its Advanced LED Light Bulbs for the US, has put forth the A19, the PAR and the MR16, each bulb being designed for a specific purpose. The AR19, which is engineered to replace conventional incandescent bulbs, is dimmable and can shine directionally from vanity lights, wall sconces, assorted lamps and more.

Finally, the MR16 Bulb is designed to be used in recessed, vanity, and track lighting and arrives in two different base types with adjustable brightness levels. Samsung has priced the bulbs from $19.98 all the way up to $59.98 with a life expectancy between 27 and 36 years; they're currently available at your local Lowe's location, although if Philips......

What was 'The Most Important Thing This Week'?
That's what Jim O'Neill of Goldman Sachs Asset Management asked investors over the past several days, as he explains in his latest letter.
The answer, obviously, was Italy.
Okay, then, what was the second more important thing?
According to O'Neill, only one person he talked to know the answer: Chinese inflation.
He writes:
China: The Latest Data and the BRICs.
This week, we saw the usual monthly release of most of the important data in China, which again showed signs of slowing momentum in the economy. The data also showed slowing inflation and signs of a continued narrowing in the trade balance. Also important was the monetary data.

For centuries, homeowners have gathered around a fire to keep warm, chat and cook their meals. Today, most American homes have central heating, but the allure of a fire hasn’t diminished — whether it’s a wood-burning fireplace, a free-standing gas stove or, in a pinch, even the image of a burning log on a midnight television screen!
While there’s something to be said for the sounds and smell of a wood-burning fireplace, a lot of homeowners are opting for the ease of a gas insert. Today’s gas fireplaces look realistic, need minimal maintenance and can heat an entire room.
There are three kinds of gas fireplaces.
Gas inserts: This is gas fireplace that can be fitted into an existing wood burning fireplace.
Built-ins: A fireplace that can be installed into the wall where there wasn’t one previously
Log sets: Gas burners that sit in existing fireplaces and are more for aesthetics than heat
Gas Fireplace Cost: $2,000 to $5,000 for the fireplace and installation. This...
