THUNDER UP

The Oklahoma City Thunder wins in triple overtime against the Memphis Grizzlies 133-123. What very well may have been the best game of the NBA playoffs, and almost the cause of a heart attack for me, took until 12:40am to conclude. The best part is we get to do it all over again Wednesday and this time it's at home. The best of seven game series just became a best of three and two of them are in OKC. Who would have thought that the Thunder would go from only 23 wins in the 2008-2009 season to potentially playing in the conference finals in just two years. Get out there and cheer for your Oklahoma City Thunder and help them beat Memphis!!!!!

Do energy star appliances really make a difference?

The short answer is yes. Energy star appliances do make a difference in your energy bill and for the environment. The Energy Star criteria requires that the appliances not only saves energy but that the increased cost of that appliances is offset by the savings. According to compare electricity rates , a website that does just that, Oklahoma is 23rd in the U.S. for energy bills. One way for the people of Oklahoma to decrease the rate of electricity consumed would be through the use of Energy Star appliances. Here is what the Energy Star site says about appliances:

"The average American family washes almost 400 loads of laundry each year. It's a good thing families can cut their related energy costs by about a third - and the water costs by more than half - just by purchasing a clothes washer with the ENERGY STAR label.

· Over the life of your new ENERGY STAR qualified washer, you'll save enough money in operating costs to pay for the matching dryer. With your water savings, you could fill three backyard swimming pools.

· Is your washer over 10 years old? Replace it with a new ENERGY STAR qualified washer and you could save $135 each year on your utility bills. That's like getting your High Efficiency (HE) detergent free year round

· Trim your utility bills - Do you have a dishwasher made before 1994? If so, you're paying an extra $40 a year on your utility bills compared to owning a new ENERGY STAR qualified model. Replace one of these old dishwashers with ENERGY STAR and save enough money to pay for dishwasher detergent all year.

· Save loads of water - A dishwasher built before 1994 wastes more than 10 gallons of water per cycle compared to owning a new ENERGY STAR qualified model. Replace one of these old dishwashers with ENERGY STAR and save enough water each week to wash 3 loads of laundry in an ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer.

· Save the environment - Nearly 70 percent of U.S. electricity is generated by burning coal and natural gas, which releases greenhouse gasses and other air pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change and air quality problems. ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers use less energy than conventional models, which helps reduce air pollution and combat global climate change. By reducing water consumption, ENERGY STAR qualified dishwashers also help protect our lakes, streams, and oceans.

Thanks to recent improvements in insulation and compressors, today's refrigerators use much less energy than older models. With an ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator, you can maximize your energy and dollar savings without sacrificing the features you want.

· Slash your energy bills.
ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators are required to use 20% less energy than models not labeled with the ENERGY STAR logo. Choose a new qualified model rather than a non-qualified model and cut your energy bills by $165 over the lifetime of your fridge.

· Replace your old fridge for bigger savings.
If you still have a fridge from the 1980s, replace it with an ENERGY STAR qualified model and save over $100 each year on your utility bills. Replace a fridge from the 1970s and save more than $200 each year! Use the ENERGY STAR Savings Calculator to find out exactly how much money you'll save by replacing your existing refrigerator.

· Protect the environment.
Nearly 70% of U.S. electricity is generated with coal and natural gas, which release greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere and contribute to climate change. ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerators use less energy and help us reduce our impact on the environment"

Here at Dick Christman's Modern Home Appliance we believe that everyone

should do their part in saving electricity and in saving the environment so we

offer a large selection of energy star appliances at competitive prices.
