But the average system, he says, costs around $24,000, and the average Philly rooftop simply doesn't have enough area for all the solar panels needed to significantly offset energy use. "We own a huge warehouse in Kensington where all our conservation work is done," she says. "We retrofitted that space using a solar radiant floor heating system, and it's fabulous. It's extremely low-cost, it's absolutely silent, it's so comfortable and it's clean. It's a wonderful way to heat space.

So did host Steven Crowder, a YouTube comedian and Tea Party circuit rider who entertained the crowd between speeches with the kind of ethnic humor that went out of style with Vaudeville. Crowder imitated the accents and made fun of Zambians, Koreans, Germans and, of course, Muslims. "You ever noticed [that] when they talk about the racist homophobic hatemongers that Islam always gets a pass?" he asked. "It's like, 'Islam is a religion of peace; it's the Christians you have to worry about.' They're not going to disagree with them," he said, sliding into mock dialect: "Yes, we're a religion of peace, OK. If you don't agree, I'll keeeeel you! According to [Brad Lewis], [Barack Obama] is plotting a permanent takeover. "Most of you people say, 'We're gonna change that back when the next el...

Over the years Buffalo has been referred to by many names, the Queen City, the Nickel City, the City of Light and the City of Good Neighbors. I believe it's time to call Buffalo the Emerald City.

OAKWOOD -- Twins Grace and Sarah Geehen, 8, of Oakwood have been learning the song Ease on Down the Road from the movie The Wiz. "I like to sing and dance a lot," Sarah said. She, Grace and others have been practicing for an upcoming performance in the Youth Winter Follies. Sarah said being in front of an audience won't faze her. "I perform a lot," she said. "I used to do Irish dance." Learning to perform is part of the reason the Youth Winter Follies was started. Follies director Michelle Kane hopes the show will allow young people to express themselves and be excited, not anxious, when performing. The Youth Winter Follies will be presented Friday at the Engineer's Club, 110 E. Monument Ave., in downtown Dayton.
