MILWAUKEE (AP)—Brandon Jennings(notes) responded in a big way Tuesday night, one game after being benched in the fourth quarter of the Milwaukee Bucks' latest loss.
Jennings scored 21 points, had a key block in the closing seconds and made the clinching free throws with 5.9 seconds left, leading the Bucks to a 92-90 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
"That's just making plays down the stretch in the fourth quarter," Jennings said. "That was something I asked for. I knew Coach (Scott Skiles) was going to challenge me. He kind of kept the ball in my hands in the fourth quarter, so I had to contribute for him."
Skiles kept Jennings on the bench in the fourth quarter of the Bucks' 83-75 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. After that game, Jennings commented that his role had diminished this year and the offense wasn't running through him as much as his rookie season.
Jennings is only making 38 percent of his shots this year.
"If you ask for something in public, of course you know the coach is going to challenge you to see what you've got," Jennings said. "I had to answer to it tonight. I knew that was coming. So, I had to go out there and contribute."
Detroit's Richard Hamilton(notes) emerged from coach John Kuester's doghouse to score 10 points in 26 minutes off the bench, but missed his first four shots and his final eight attempts.
"My shot felt terrible," Hamilton said. "It felt terrible. The good thing is that I was able to get to where I wanted to get to on the floor, but every bread and butter shot that I pride myself on I missed.
"I expect it," he said. "That was only my second game in almost two months. I didn't expect it was going to be great. I just told myself, talk to your legs."
Milwaukee won for only the third time in nine games despite having its top frontcourt players on the bench due to injury and illness.
"It was a good short-handed win," Skiles said. "We hung in there defensively. We were able to get the stops, and played pretty hard defensively, especially at the end."
The Pistons have lost seven of nine.
With Milwaukee leading 90-88, Detroit's Will Bynum(notes) set up for a baseline 3-pointer, but Jennings made a quick move and leaped with his arm outstretched to block the shot out of bounds.
"We had several good defensive plays, and that certainly was one of them," Skiles said. "It was a good hustle play."
The Pistons inbounded, and Austin Daye(notes) missed a 3-point attempt with 9 seconds left that would have given Detroit the lead. Ben Gordon(notes) tried to save it from going out of bounds, but his swipe at the ball went to Jennings, who was fouled.
Milwaukee was not in the bonus and inbounded, and Jennings was fouled with 5.9 seconds left. He calmly made both free throws to give Milwaukee a 92-88 lead. Detroit's Greg Monroe(notes) scored on a follow shot with 0.2 seconds left to close the scoring.
Hamilton had missed 10 consecutive games since playing Feb. 5 in a game that also was in Milwaukee, but had a meeting recently to clear the air with Kuester and entered the game late in the first quarter. He missed 13-of-17 shots, but had three assists, two steals and two rebounds.
"He had some great looks," Kuester said. "Normally, he'll knock those shots down so I was very pleased with his energy. His approach to the game was outstanding, so we'll get him going."
Hamilton scored his first point on a free throw with 56 seconds left in the first quarter, and his first basket on a layup after receiving a long pass from Charlie Villanueva(notes) with 7:28 left in the second quarter.
"It felt great just to be out there with my teammates where I'm supposed to be, running up and down the court, stuff like that," Hamilton said.
Rodney Stuckey(notes) scored 25 points and Monroe added 13 for Detroit, which shot only 40 percent.
"We had such great looks," Kuester said. "Wide-open looks and we just couldn't knock them down.
"That was the frustrating part because I'm looking at it saying 'All right, we're getting the type of shots, we had some great looks and just couldn't knock them down,"' he said.
Carlos Delfino(notes) had 16 points and a season-high 10 rebounds for Milwaukee.
The Bucks used their 20th different starting lineup in 59 games. Milwaukee played without four key frontline players: center Andrew Bogut(notes), out at least a week with a strained muscle near his ribcage; Luc Richard Mbah a Moute(notes) (flulike symptoms), Ersan Ilyasova(notes) (concussion) and Drew Gooden(notes) (plantar fasciitis).
Milwaukee signed center Earl Barron(notes) to a 10-day contract before the game and was forced to play him 16 minutes. He scored four points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Detroit used its advantage down low to outscore Milwaukee, 52-28, in the paint.
The Bucks took the lead for good at 77-75 on Keyon Dooling's(notes) 16-foot jumper with 10:36 left.
Jennings scored 12 points and the Bucks led, 51-50, at halftime.
Notes: Hamilton entered the game with 1:42 left in the first quarter as the Pistons' sixth man. … Tracy McGrady(notes) was dressed, but did not play. … Detroit G Will Bynum picked up four fouls in eight first-half minutes.

Use washing machine supply for washer, ice maker & coffee maker?
I currently use my washing machine water supply for both the washing machine and the refrigerator ice maker. A hose bib is attached to the threaded pipe from the wall. Attached to that is a 2nd hose bib with a 1/4" male threaded fitting coming off of it. Both the washing machine hose and ice maker line come off of the 2nd hose bib. I'm not sure why the first hose bib remains.
I would like to purchase a coffee maker which requires 1/4" water supply line. It would be installed next to the refrigerator which is next to the closet housing the washing machine, so the distance from the washing machine to the coffee maker would only be 6 feet with the refrigerator between the two.
Is this possible and/or practical? Is there a hose bib to which I could attach the washing machine hose and two separate 1/4" lines for the ice maker and coffee maker?
It's possible, I suppose practical and presumably code. Kinda a weird setup, though. Kinda like using one electrical plug with a power strip because there aren't enough outlets.
I guess it would be more logical to put the coffee maker next to the sink, but that water supply is already supplying the hot water dispenser, and it's on the opposite wall from where I'd like to put the coffee maker. Moreover, the water lines to the refrigerator and coffee maker would be hidden if I use the washing machine water supply.
Would a copper tee connected to the existing 1/4" male threaded fitting work? The tee would supply both 1/4" lines to the icemaker and coffee maker.
I'd like to have a single cutoff for the ice maker & coffee maker, so I wouldn't have to disable the washing machine if a repair was necessary. However, because there are two hose bibs already on the cold water supply (I don't understand why the first bib is there), it could be a crowded arrangement if I add another cutoff.
You can find the parts you need at any local hardware store and they are relatively cheap.
Parts You need:
2ea. 1/4" compression needle line stop valve
1ea. 1/4" compreesion Tee
1/4" copper tube to make the additional lines.
Tools you will need:
Tubing cutter to cut the copper. (I prefer a mini cutter for 1/4")
Two wrenches that fit the valves..(two 8" adjustable wrenches would do fine)
Cut the pipe where you want the tee to the first appliance. Remove an and cap off the tee but be careful, there is a tiny brass ferrule under that cap that you need. First slip the cap on the copper with the open side of the cap pointing towards the cut end of the copper tubing. Now slip the ferrule on the tubing. (the ferrule looks like a miniature mans wedding ring).
Insert the end of the pipe into the fitting as far as it will go, then slide the cap forward, pushing the ferrule up against the end of the fitting and screw the cap on the end of the fitting finger tight. Now hold the fitting steady with one wrench while you tighten the cap with the second wrench.
Follow the diagram in the illustration I am attaching and use the same technique to tighten all the fitting caps.
I forgot a couple points above...
When tigthening the compression caps make sure you are holding the fitting body with one wrench while you turn the cap with the second wrench....Do not hold the cap on the opposite end of the fitting...
When you buy your fittings I would strongly suggest you buy 2 extra 1/4" ferrules. They will only cost you about a nickle each and they are very easy to drop or misplace. I would much rather have a spare part when I am done as opposed to running back to the store for a nickle part.
Wow -- you really need to change your name. I'm thinking getupandgopup or goingaboveandbeyondtohelptotalstrangerspup.
What an incredibly detailed tutorial you gave for my specific dilemma and with a diagram, too. Thank you for sharing your expertise and taking the time to explain it to me. I'm really so grateful. This forum is terrific. I mean it!

OT--Two cleaning questions
1. How do yo u clean nooks and crannies of glass shower door...specifically at the bottom where glass meets tile and around hardware/brackets that hold glass. I have moldy gunk built up that I have tried scrubbing with a toothbrush to no avail. They are tight areas to get to.
2. Wood floors....do you move furniture with legs to clean every time. I mop but always end up with dust still around table/furniture legs...again nooks and crannies I can't easily get to.
Thanks for any tips!
I can answer 1. Use a bamboo skewer and wrap a thin cleaning rag around it soaked in your cleaner (bleach).
I usually don't have #2, but I always try to work my way from top to bottom (i.e.: dust tables before cleaning floors) and I always sweep before mopping. You may do the same and still have this issue - so not sure if that answer helps.
Toothbrush. But in tight corners I use an exacto knife to gently dig out and then the toothbrush. Actually, I really don't have much that needs this type of cleaning.
Funny how we clean. I always vacuum first because it seems to add dust to furniture. Throw rugs first with upright vacuum. Wood floors I use a small shop vac around corners/furniture feet, underneath. Then I clean by hand, can't seem to go the mop route as I like to rinse and dry too. After this, then I dust, it isn't thick enough to require vacuuming after.
The kitchen and bath are top down cleaning, which is the right way.

how do you take the rear door panel off?
1 Answer
Hi Babywhat. Usually you are dealing which hidden screws clips and push-pin-type fasteners which connect the panel to the door. You can horse these but that can test your patience and diminish the fit of the panel when you put it back. I suggest one of two courses of action. Check your local library or parts store for the Chilton's manual for your Explorer. You have a good chance of getting a free look at a copy. That will give you the procedure for removing the panel for the price of a couple of 25-cent copies. Or try this site (http://www.carstereoremoval.com/htm/stereoremovalFordExplorer02_05P.htm) which sells manuals for this type of thing for less than $5. It will be worth the money in time and sanity. Good luck!

ST. MARYS - A St. Marys man charged with arson and related offenses after allegedly setting fire to his father's home waived his preliminary hearing on Tuesday before District Judge Mark Jacob.
Steven Ray Hulings, 25, of St. Marys, was in District Court Tuesday after being charged on Oct. 4 for a July 14 arson at the 137 Lynch Rd. home of his father and stepmother, who were away on an out-of-town camping trip at the time of the incident.
The Northwest Pennsylvania Industrial Resource Center (NWIRC) were just one of the organizations that played a role in the recent opening of the TAT Technology Development and Training (TDT) Center in St. Marys.
During TAT's open house, Erin Heath, district manager of NWIRC based in DuBois, who worked closely with TAT Technologies President Harb Nayar, PhD, of Summit, N.J. in assisting with getting the business up and running, referred to industry trends being reported by industry groups and national accounting firms.
RIDGWAY - The Salvation Army in Ridgway will continue to shoot for the sky as Lieutenant Esther Wilson, Core Officer, takes the reins at the church and community center.
A third-generation Salvationist, Wilson went into the training school in Suffern, N.Y., roughly 45 minutes away from New York City, and her first appointment in Ridgway started back in July.
"As an ordained minister, the Salvation Army is a church, first and foremost," Wilson said. "Everything that we do is based on the love of God and the love that He has for us, and we extend that to the community.
Ronald L. Holmberg, age 74, of 322 Dewey Circle, Ridgway, died Monday, Oct. 8, 2012 at UPMC Hamot in Erie following a brief illness.
He was born Feb. 17, 1938 in Ridgway, son of the late Clarence J. and Hazel B. (Dunkle) Holmberg.
He married Nancy H. Peterson on Nov. 7, 1959; she survives.
SMA travels to ECC tonight
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch volleyball team snapped a four-match losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Curwensville Golden Tide Monday night at the SMAHS Dutch Oven.
Curwensville won the first set by a 25-22 score. The Lady Dutch came back to knot the match at one set apiece by taking the second set 25-17. St. Marys won the third set by a 25-20 margin and won the match by winning the fourth set by the score of 25-18.
Redbank Valley may have scored all three of the goals in Monday afternoon's girls' soccer "pink match" at the St. Marys Area High School soccer field, but for the first 68:53 of the game it looked as though the Lady Dutch were going to cruise to a 1-0 victory. Instead, the Lady Bulldogs added a pair of goals in the final 11:07 to come away with the 2-1 win.
St. Marys City Council has unanimously approved amending the non-uniformed pension plan, updating it for recent changes mandated by the Internal Revenue Service code.
The policy states if non-uniformed city employees are serving in the military on active duty, their pension will be turned over to their spouse in the event of their death. In addition, any raises that would have occurred in the timespan they were serving would go toward the plan's beneficiary.
ST. MARYS - With a long-unused portion of the Bennetts Valley Elementary School building in a state of disrepair, the SMASD Board of Directors, in deeming it too expensive to salvage the section, have recommended its demolition.
The demolition discussion concerns what SMASD Superintendent Ann Kearney referred to as the "old half" of the Bennetts Valley Elementary School, which she said has sat unused for the past four years.
Helen Louise Shafer, 79, of 3033 Dagus Hill St., Daguscahonda, died Sunday, Oct. 7, 2012, at DuBois Regional Medical Center.
She was born Oct. 16, 1932, in Oakland, Md., the daughter of the late Charles R. and Margaret Hardesty Jordan. She married Joseph X. Shafer, who predeceased her on Jan. 23, 2002.
Mrs. Shafer was a member of the Faith United Church of Christ. She retired from Quality Components. She enjoyed reading, knitting and crocheting.
ST. MARYS - "We continue to be above state averages, which is very good," said St. Marys Area School District Superintendent Ann Kearney in reviewing the district's report card for the 2011-- 2012 school year during Thursday's workshop meeting of the district's board of directors.
The report, issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), includes findings based on the district's attendance and graduation rates and performance on state assessment tests, namely the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA), as well as other criteria.

Before you know it, winter will be over, and Southern California will be back to its usual sunny spring days. With the change in seasons, so comes the change in your thermostat, and perhaps, a change in how your system works. What if your HVAC system is no longer cooling you off? To stay ahead of the game and beat the heat, we at ARS San Diego want to make sure you know how to spot potential problems.
If you have any questions or concerns about your air conditioner, or would like to schedule a check-up from a trusted professional, call ARS® serving San Diego at (866) 509 - 2940 or visit ARSSanDiego.com.
Even though San Diego has some of the best weather in the country, the winter season still has enough cold days where we have to crank up the heat. As temperatures begin to drop, it makes sense to look for all opportunities to cut back on your electricity use. This winter, you can be proactive about avoiding a higher heating bill by focusing on using your heating system more effectively. Here are few tips to help you stay efficient:
If you have any questions about preparing your heating system for winter, or would like to schedule a check-up from a trusted professional, call ARS® serving San Diego at (866) 509 - 2940 or visit ARSSanDiego.com.
As we enter the middle of winter here in San Diego, we have our minds on the different options for how our customers can keep themselves warm in their homes. If a homeowner is looking at ways to warm up his or her home this winter, they could find themselves deciding between a furnace or a heat pump. Both heat up the home, but what makes them different from one another? Local heating experts at ARS® serving San Diego County are here to help explain.
Furnace: a basic furnace heats the air and pushes it through ducts and vents throughout the home using a fan. These systems can be powered by oil, natural gas or electricity depending on the unit installed in the home. While effective at heating in nearly all climates, furnaces alone can't cool hot air without an additional air conditioning system. A furnace also needs to be properly sized to fit the home's heating needs.
Heat pumps: the heat pumps bring in outside air using an outdoor compressor and after heating, distributes it throughout the home for warmth. These pumps run on electricity, but the compressors located outdoors that bring in the air can cause more noise than a furnace. They can also be more cost-efficient in milder temperatures, but less efficient if the home is located in very cold climates. The initial costs associated with heat pumps are typically higher than those of the furnace, but a heat pump is also able to produce cooler air in warmer months since it can bring in the outside air to cool the home.
For those homeowners weighing their options, consult a heating expert from ARS®. Our professionals can help determine what works best for the home, the owners' preferences and budget. We're also available to help our San Diego community with any additional heating, air conditioning and indoor air quality questions. Please call us at (866) 509-2940 or visit www.arssandiego.com and make an appointment here to get started.
The colder months are finally here! What are you expecting to come out of your heater vents when you turn your heater on for the first time this winter? The first time a homeowner turns their heater on in the winter, it can come with a number of question marks.
With your heating and air conditioning system in mind, it's important to remember that your system needs attention before the temperatures drop. It's been working overtime throughout the summer to keep you cool, so be sure to have a professional perform a tune-up on your system for the transition to the colder months ahead. Here are a few things you can do to make sure your system is ready:
If you have any questions about preparing your heating system for winter, or would like to schedule a check-up from a trusted professional, call ARS® serving San Diego at (866) 509 - 2940 or visit ARSSanDiego.com.
If you're like most people, you see your dentist every six months, schedule a physical with your doctor once a year and take your car in for an oil change every 3,000 miles. What about the appliances inside of your home that you rely on every day for comfort and convenience? Do you know how often you need to change your air filters or have your thermostat calibrated? Here at ARS®, we know that sometimes these seemingly small check-ups can be forgotten about, and we're here to help make sure that your HVAC system is running efficiently.
We offer a maintenance plan to help keep your HVAC system on schedule for routine check-ups. When you sign up for the plan, effective for an entire calendar year, it includes:
On our visits, we do thorough checks on the entire HVAC system, looking at everything from the refrigerant levels and pressure, examining the air filters, inspecting pilot lights and igniters, ductwork and wiring connections. It can help you avoid any potentially inconvenient and expensive repairs that HVAC systems may need at some point. This preventative maintenance helps improve the system's performance, increase energy efficiency, reduce heating and cooling costs, extend the life of the equipment and improve system safety.

As we enter the season of giving thanks, we decided to kick the season off by thanking a group that truly impacts an important part of San Diego culture: the USO. The USO San Diego is an organization dedicated to supporting the troops and thanking those who serve in the military for their service and sacrifice. It has been in existence since 1941 and serves active duty military, Healing Heroes, military families and Families of the Fallen. It is a premier USO Chartered Center providing morale and support services, as well as a "home away from home" for all members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.
For the month of October, the ARS office in San Diego held a candy drive to support the USO and donated more than $300 worth of Skittles® and M&M's® to the organization's 7th annual Harley-Ween event. On Saturday, Oct. 25, 2014, over 400 military families enjoyed a barbeque celebration, trick-or-treating, carnival games and other family-friendly activities.

The USO San Diego's Harley-Ween event was hosted at San Diego Harley Davidson. Members of the ARS team also volunteered on the day of the event to help make it a success for children and parents alike.

"We are grateful for the sacrifices our nation's military men and women have given to provide us with the freedoms we enjoy every day," said Art Hagopian, general manager of ARS in San Diego. "We consider the San Diego community our family and a huge part of San Diego is our military. It's important to us that we support our troops. At ARS, we pride ourselves on making sure our customers feel comfortable in their homes and we want to make the families of our service men and women feel comfortable and supported as well."

Do you feel as though the second level of your property is always hotter than the first? Or perhaps one room in your home is just too cold for your liking? The type of system that you may want to take a look at is a zone heating and cooling system.
A zone heating and cooling systems allows homeowners to set different areas of the home at different temperatures. You can set the second floor at a cool 68 degrees, while the first floor is at 72. It is accomplished by installing multiple comfort systems to heat and cool different parts of your house, or you can simply use a single furnace with mechanical zone dampers in your ductwork to direct airflow only where needed. If you're interested in learning more about how to control varying temperatures throughout your home, call your local experts at ARS to evaluate your home's capabilities and provide you with a recommendation.
Zone heating and cooling systems can also be beneficial if you're looking to save on your energy bills. Since they operate only where needed, it can help save on energy costs but to achieve maximum energy efficiency and comfort, be sure to hire a reputable company for proper installation and a professional system design.
Are you interested in having a zone heating and cooling system installed in your own home? Contact your local air conditioning professionals at ARS® in San Diego to ask any questions or schedule an installation by calling (866) 509-2940 and visiting www.arssandiego.com.
This November, ARS® San Diego will be participating in the LUNG FORCE Walk, a charity walk organized to stand up against lung cancer and promote lung health. ARS understands the crucial importance of lung health, which is why we want to help you keep your lungs healthy with the help of air filtration systems. Air filtration systems remove a range of airborne contaminants that have been linked to lung diseases, including mold-causing moisture, dust particles, pet dander and second-hand smoke. Here is a quick guide from ARS to give you an understanding of your options for air filtration in your home:
If you have any more questions about air filtration systems, or are interested in having one installed in your home, call an expert at ARS San Diego at (866) 509-2940 or visit ARSSanDiego.com.
September 23 marked the first full day of fall: a time for changing leaves, pumpkin-flavored everything and getting your heating and air conditioning system checked! Fall is the perfect time to show some love to your HVAC system, because before you know it, winter will be here, and that is the last time you want your system to stop working efficiently! Your local HVAC experts at ARS® want you to be prepared this fall, so we have compiled a guide to the myths and facts surrounding HVAC's, to help you become a master before winter sets in.
Myth: You need to change your air filter once a year.
Fact: To save on your energy bill and keep your system running efficiently, your filter should be changed every two to three months. If you feel you're running your system harder during those summer peak days, we recommend changing them even more often. Dust, dirt, pollen and pet hair are just a few of the culprits clogging up filters and reducing the airflow. Get on a maintenance plan with your ARS Heating & Air Conditioning services provider and keep your filters clean and possibly even save money in the long run.
Myth: To cool your home faster, turn the temperature a few degrees below the temperature you actually want.
Fact: Your AC unit takes hot air in your home and replaces it with cool air at a set rate of speed; you can't make the unit work any faster by lowering the dial beyond your desired temperature.
Myth: There is no need to have your system checked unless there is a problem.
Fact: Just like you maintain a car with fuel, oil, air in your tires, etc., you have to maintain your home's HVAC unit. Holding off or avoiding routine maintenance checks until there is a problem could lead to more than just an air conditioner tune-up, it could mean a repair or replacement. Talk to your local heating and air conditioning service provider about affordable maintenance plans to keep your system running efficiently, effectively and safely, all year long.
Now that you're wise to those common HVAC myths, you're ready to fight the late fall heat and early winter cold! If you have any questions, ARS serving San Diego is here to help. Just give us a call at (866) 509-2940 or visit us at ARSSanDiego.com.
There are a number of ways to cool your home, and sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference between your options. Two popular systems are central air conditioners and swamp coolers, which are often confused. While by definition these two systems both condition the air by cooling it, the process by which they do this is very different. Here is a quick guide from your air conditioning experts at ARS® to help you decipher between the two:
Deciding between these two types of systems is all a matter of location and preference – contact your local heating and air conditioning experts at ARS® to help you decide what system would work best for your needs. If you have more questions on how these machines work, or would like to schedule a repair or installation, call your local experts at ARS in San Diego at (866) 509-2940 or visit ARSSanDiego.com.
As your world becomes increasingly mobile, it was only a matter of time that your thermostat got an upgrade as well. The newest and most advanced thermostats can now connect to your home's Wi-Fi network, allowing for you to control your home's temperature on any mobile device from anywhere in the world.
Whether you are at work or on an exotic vacation, simply pulling out your smart phone and visiting a mobile app allows you to remotely control your thermostat and adjust the temperature of your home. Some thermostats even send high or low temperature alerts through phone or email, allowing for the homeowner to know if temperatures spike when they are not home.
Other software programs that may come with a Wi-Fi enabled thermostat is a local weather update feature, remote fan control applications and even filter change reminders based on the run-time of your equipment, to keep it in tip-top shape.
By switching to a Wi-Fi enabled thermostat, a homeowner can both beat the heat and be smart with their HVAC system. If you have more questions about a Wi-Fi enabled thermostat or would like to schedule an installation, call your trusted local air conditioning professionals at ARS® at (866) 509-2940 or visit ARSSanDiego.com.
While searching for the right heat pump for your living space, you're likely to come across options like geothermal and standard heat pumps. If you are unsure as to how either of these options could benefit you more than the other, allow ARS® to help you better understand the advantages and disadvantages of both heat pumps.
If you have more questions about having a geothermal or standard heat pump installed in your home, talk to an expert at ARS in San Diego by calling (866) 509-2940 or visiting ARSSanDiego.com.
If you've been told closing air vents in unused rooms in your home will allow faster or more concentrated airflow into other rooms, or that leaving your ceiling fan on while you're not home will help cool the house faster, then you've been duped! There are so many myths out there trying to convince homeowners what the best way to cool their homes is. Your local San Diego ARS® team of expert technicians are here to help you better understand common heating, ventilation and air conditioning myths so you can stop wasting energy and potentially start saving money without falling for those pesky HVAC rumors.
Myth: If you close air vents in certain rooms that are not being used, you will help push air into rooms you are using to reduce the load on your HVAC system and save money on your electricity bill.
Fact: If you have a modern forced air and heating system, the pressure load is balanced throughout the house. Blocking the vent can impact how the system inhales and exhales air; in other words, it can throw the system out of balance, causing it to work harder or possibly break down. Shutting off airflow in rooms can eventually ruin the compressor, resulting in potentially costly HVAC repairs or system replacement. Instead, leave all vents open so air can circulate throughout your home at a balanced rate.
Myth: Leaving your ceiling fan on will cool a room, especially while you're not home.
Fact: Fans cool your skin, not the air. Fans do not lower room temperature. A fan works by circulating the air in a space; when the air moves across the skin, we feel cooler even though the air temperature in the room remains the same. If a fan runs in a room when no one is there, no one is feeling its benefits so it's probably just raising your monthly electricity bill.
Myth: Residential heat pumps do not have a long life cycle because they operate 12 months of the year.
Fact: Dirt, improper application and service and lack of preventative maintenance top the list for heat pump failures. If you uphold the maintenance on your pumps, just like your air conditioning unit, your pump will last much longer than if it wasn't properly maintained.
Be sure to check back with us next month for the second part of the Myths vs. Facts series. In the meantime, if you have any questions about your air conditioner maintenance or repair needs, the San Diego ARS experts can help. Just give us a call at (866) 509-2940 and visit us at www.arssandiego.com.

Summer in San Diego can mean the air conditioning bill goes up as the temperatures rise, but we're here to question that "fact:" does it have to? Here are some tips from your local San Diego HVAC experts at ARS® (ARSSanDiego.com) on how to beat the heat and possibly save money on your utility bill with air conditioning maintenance in the process.
It's going to be hot this summer, but you shouldn't have to sweat it. Use these tips and contact your San Diego HVAC experts at (866) 509-2940 to make sure you're ready to take on the summer heat without emptying your wallet. Visit ARSSanDiego.com for more information.
As the summer heat begins to emerge, the rise in air pollution can prove problematic. Longer days, warmer weather and more sunshine can mean stagnant air and increased emissions from cars, planes and other common pollutants added to the air we breathe.
Unfortunately, the beautiful county of San Diego was recently under the attack of numerous fires, and the skies were filled with smoke. Ash and other debris associated with the fires can be taken in through the outside air conditioning unit, which could eventually enter our homes, especially if the home is in an area with less than moderate air quality.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that poor indoor air quality is one of the top five leading factors affecting respiratory health in the country. The professionals at ARS® would like to share how you can increase the quality of the air inside your homes with routine air conditioner maintenance. Here are just a few of the helpful tips:
The time to pay attention to your HVAC maintenance needs is now.
If you have any questions about your HVAC system and the quality of your indoor air, call the experts at ARS in San Diego at (866) 509-2940 or visit www.ARSSanDiego.com.

|There's an article on climbing in Meteora in the December 2009 issue of Rock and Ice (Issue 182).

A few things to add to the general description above. For climbers used to areas containing solid rock and bomber gear placements, this is a scary area. I've never been to a trad area where we had to back off so many routes. We tried to get on several gear routes that might take occasional cam placements. In my estimation, a fall onto a cam would shatter the rock here in many places. I think it is much better to use large passive placements, such as hexes. We didn't come prepared for this.
On belay anchors: many, many multi-pitch routes in the area include only a single, beefy eye bolt as the belay anchor. Given the general looseness of the rock, this is hard to stomach for climbers more accustomed to two-bolt anchors or good gear anchors. We actually cut our climbing off a couple days early because of concerns about single bolt anchors without available gear supplements. Likewise, many rappel points still include only a single, old eye bolt. While these may not fail often, we decided it was a risk we did not want to take.
The climbing here seems to me to be more about the scenery and summits than the actual climbing. We didn't push into grades that would include interesting climbing, likely because the faith required to place your full weight onto small cobbles was too much mentally for us. Be prepared to be humbled.

Amid the gloom, Norris delivers gutsy performance in loss
SEATTLE – The frustration was quite evident late Tuesday night inside the spiraling Astros' clubhouse after Mariners journeyman Aaron Harang threw a two-hit shutout against them. The defensive performance was disheartening yet again, and the offense was practically non-existent. Amid the gloom of yet another six-game losing streak, however, Astros ace righthander Bud Norris stood […] [Read More]

Harang makes it look easy in shutout of Astros
Box score SEATTLE – Only one start after he failed to get out of the third inning, journeyman Mariners righthander Aaron Harang looked like a Cy Young candidate Tuesday night against the Astros. Harang threw a two-hit shutout to win 4-0 at Safeco Field, extending the Astros' losing streak to a season high-tying six games. […] [Read More]
Astros report: Lyles looks to keep hot stretch going
Astros righthander Jordan Lyles, who has not given up more than two earned runs in any of his last five starts, will return to the mound Wednesday night against the Mariners. Lyles (3-1, 4.03 ERA) has posted a 2.05 ERA while holding opponents to five earned runs over 302⁄3 innings over his previous five starts. […] [Read More]
Porter bats Altuve third, splitting the lefties; Cedeno starts at short
Astros manager Bo Porter altered his lineup a bit Tuesday night against the Seattle Mariners by dropping catcher Jason Castro into the two spot, hitting Jose Altuve third and Carlos Pena at cleanup. With the righthanded Altuve batting third, Porter split his two top lefthanded batters. "Carlos' been swinging the bat well," Porter said. "More […] [Read More]
First pitch: Astros sign more draft picks
One day after signing seventh-round pick James Ramsay, the Astros signed righthander Kyle Westwood (13th round), lefthander Sebastian Kessay (22nd round) and catcher Brett Booth (34th round).

Commentary: NFL fans the biggest losers in this mess
The champagne is flowing.
Some are even calling it Christmas in July.
Please don't be misled.
The public relations sham the NFL and the former NFLPA shoved down the fans' throats with pomp and circumstance Monday was no different than what the league tried to do to the players last week that caused so much acrimony.
Yes, we are glad football is back.
But it's no different than the euphoria most of us felt when gas prices dipped to $3.25 a gallon after hovering near $4.
We felt like we were getting a break when in fact we were getting hosed from the get-go.
It's no different here.
We are glad football is back.
We are glad no games will be missed, glad the season will go on schedule -- especially when you consider the games and plans for the season openers that will coincide with the 10-year anniversary of 9/11.
But let's be real. Football should have never left.
Tell me what was accomplished in the past month that couldn't have occurred in March.
The sad part is that the fans are going to be left holding the bag, paying a full price for an inferior product.
Yes, you heard right.
The NFL will have labor peace for a decade, and the league will be better for it in the long run.
But the pursuit of the golden goose sacrificed the 2011 season along the way.
Yes, we will have football.
It will just be a watered-down, subpar production from what we are used to.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has long justified the high-priced tickets at Cowboys Stadium because he likens it to watching a play on Broadway, considering the premium seating and experience at the $1.2 billion facility.
The problem is this year the actors will be ill-prepared to give a Broadway-level performance. The fans will not get the return on their investment.
For years, the coaches have preached about the importance of the off-season programs, OTAs and minicamps.
Now, they are trying to tell you the product is going to be the same without all that.
I'm not stupid, and I hope you aren't that stupid.
Quarterback Tony Romo and the Cowboys players should be commended for getting together for a few practices during the lockout.
But in the words of former Cowboys linebacker Darren Hambrick, "What do voluntary mean?"
The workouts were good for chemistry, camaraderie and just being around the game and doing football things during downtime.
There is no way the Cowboys did any meaningful work.
Add in the fact that that the Cowboys need to learn a new defensive scheme under coordinator Rob Ryan and get to know new coaches at receiver, linebacker and defensive line, this was a huge setback that won't be made up in a couple of whirlwind weeks at training camp.
That goes triple for first-round draft pick Tyron Smith, who is expected to come in and start at right tackle. He certainly has a lot of potential. But he is just 20 years old and only played two years at Southern Cal.
The missed off-season has Smith and the Cowboys operating without a net in 2011 with the expected release of Marc Colombo.
This is not just a Dallas problem, this is a league issue -- especially for teams with new coaches, new coordinators and new quarterbacks.
The Minnesota Vikings were considered a Super Bowl contender last year, at least at the start of the season.
This year, with a new coach and a rookie quarterback in Christian Ponder, they could be cellar dwellers in the NFC North. And that might be the case even if they add a veteran quarterback such as Donovan McNabb.
In a normal year, rookies or signed veterans would have had the off-season to get up to speed in a new offense and new system.
There is no way the Vikings, Tennessee Titans, Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals or any other team with rookie quarterbacks or who hope to add a veteran have any real shot of getting up to speed by the start of the season.
Yet, the fans in those cities will pay Broadway prices for a product best suited for Peoria.
The sad part is that it didn't have to be this way.
This could have been resolved well before now.
And the only reason significant progress was made was because significant money was about to be lost. The regular season was never going to be threatened.
As much as the league and owners talked about the fans not wanting the preseason, facts are that the preseason wasn't going to be threatened either.
It's no coincidence that the owners would have lost $200 million if the first full week of preseason games had been canceled, and now everybody is in camp on time to keep that money coming in.
This was nothing but a money grab from the get-go. The owners received money back from the players, which is why they locked them out in the first place. And although they gave back some things as far as total revenue, the players are going to be just fine financially.
More important, the players won some things as far as health and safety are concerned, higher minimum salaries and a quicker route to free agency.
Bottom line is both sides understand they need each other. The owners need the players to play, and the players need the owners to pay.
But the losers in 2011 are the fans. What's even worse is the arrogance the league and players showed with this whole process by threatening to take the beloved game away.
They knew you, the fan, would be celebrating Christmas in July when they announced on Monday the saving of a season that should have never been in jeopardy in the first place.
Enjoy your champagne.
Just don't expect a Broadway show in 2011.
I would even suggest adding an asterisk to forever remember the low-budget and bankrupt season to come.

Summer's nearly gone? Bring on fall
I know everyone is saying this these days, but I have to ask: Where did the summer go?
It seems like just days ago I shot pictures at the last graduation ceremony at the old Farmington High School. Now we're planning what kinds of stories we'll write about the new FHS. The Dakota County Fair has passed, and I'm already trying to schedule my time at the Minnesota State Fair.

About Me
My name is Nelle, currently residing in Phoenix, AZ. I am a student attending a college studying for my Bachelor's in Graphic Design.

I am also focusing on doing fashion shoots, editorials, and highly creative shoots to make my portfolio more diverse. I am all for new ideas and getting pointers on how to become a proficient model, and look forward to creating friendships as well as potentially earn money in this field. I can be the person you want me to be, while still maintaining my own unique persona.
Fashion: $50/hr
Implied or Nude: $75/.hr for 2 hr. minimum.
For longer shoots, rates are negotiable .
*If you are contacting me for a shoot, please do so through MM or my email at firstname.lastname@example.com
*I do NOT do erotic or any cookie shots, and will not respond to any inquiries of such. If you are wondering what artistic nude is to me, please observe my gallery carefully.
*For more than 25 miles driving distance, I kindly ask for gas money in addition.

Salad Fingers
PROTIP: Press 'i' to view the image gallery, 'v' to view the video gallery, or 'r' to view a random entry.
Salad Fingers is David Firth's popular flash cartoon series on Newgrounds. According to Wikipedia, in 2005 it ranked top ten in the pop culture phenomenon of that year. The series is often described as a "surreal psychological horror cartoon" and features a monstrous-looking character called Salad Fingers, who often draws pleasure from carressing rusty spoons and nettles. One of his most popular phrases is "I like it when the red water comes out," referring to his own blood that came out of self-inflicted wound from a nail. The cartoon also later features Salad Fingers' puppet friends, Jeremy Fisher, Majory Stewart-Baxter and Hubert Cumberdale.
Salad Finger and His Finger Puppet Friends
Salad Fingers' popularity was highest thoughout the end of 2004 towards 2006, and is now declining, probably since no new cartoons are being released at the moment. Salad fingers is most popular in Australia, where recently in 2007 it was shown at the Sydney Underground Film Festival. A lot of its popularity probably stems from its weird and quite random nature, and how it is scary without being too violent, the character of Salad Fingers seems to have a strange appeal.
Today, Salad Finger remains as one of the most recognizable Newgrounds mascots.
