A/C repair services in high demand

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:59:48 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Local air-conditioning repair companies are working around the clock to respond to calls for repair during Colorado's summer heatwave. "We're up from 5 a.m. 'till 10 o'clock at night," Supreme Home Services Owner Ulises Alfaro said. "Hopefully we get a couple hours of sleep and we're back on it." Does your landlord have to provide AC in Colorado? Tuesday afternoon, Alfaro’s crew was installing both air conditioning and an HVAC system inside a Parker home."This year has been pretty tough for our HVAC division, because of all the rain we've had,” Alfaro said. “Now that the rain has stopped, the phone has not stopped ringing off the hook.”Alfaro suggests homeowners change filters every month in order to avoid issues with their unit.

Red Sox bats go cold against A’s rookie Luis Medina in chaotic 3-0 loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:59:48 GMT

Wednesday night at the Coliseum began with a bang and ended with a whimper, as the 51-45 Red Sox fell to the 26-71 Oakland A’s, 3-0.The game devolved into chaos almost immediately. After reaching on a triple in the bottom of the first, Tony Kemp attempted to steal home, and got called out due to running too far from the base line. Oakland manager Mark Kotsay protested too much and found himself ejected.Joe Jacques was lucky to escape the first inning. Not so much in the second, as the A’s, who entered the day with the 5th-fewest home runs in the Majors, took a 3-0 lead on a pair of home runs by Ryan Noda and JJ Bleday (with a runner on base).“Didn’t get Strike 1 on a lot of guys, kind of fell behind, and both the homers were 2-strike pitches just left down the middle. And you know, if you leave it there, it’s gonna get punished,” Jacques told reporters. “Just gotta clean it up.”Though Jacques started sporadically in college and the min...

Delicious Thai Lamb Satay made easy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:59:48 GMT

I love lamb satay with a spicy peanut sauce but didn’t want to take the time to make my own sauce. So I was delighted to find a bottle of the sauce at the market. This meant that I could make the satay with very little effort. The lamb only cooks for about 10 minutes on two skewers. Tender lamb cubes cut from the leg of lamb are perfect for this recipe. If you use other cuts of lamb, let them marinate for about 5 minutes longer.Tip for making a satay or kebab: Leave about 1 inch between each lamb cube on the skewer so the heat can reach all sides of the meat.Helpful Hints:In case you prefer to make your own peanut sauce, I’ve given a recipe below.You can make the lamb on a stovetop grill or under a broiler. If using a broiler, place the skewers on a sheet pan.TAG GOES HEREThai Lamb SatayINGREDIENTS1 teaspoon canola oil1 tablespoon rice vinegar1 garlic clove bruised3/4 pound lamb cubes cut from the leg1 1/2 cups microwave brown rice4 cups romaine leaves, torn into bite size pieces1 c...

Lowry: U.S. military doesn’t need DEI programs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:59:48 GMT

House Republicans voted to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs and personnel at the Pentagon, and one wonders whether the U.S. military will ever be the same.The provision was one of a number of anti-“woke” measures in the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act that have occasioned sputtering outrage.According to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, there’s no way that President Joe Biden would ever sign such legislation “that would put our troops at greater risk or put our readiness at risk.”America’s leaders used to worry that we wouldn’t have enough stopping power to defend against Soviet tanks potentially pouring through the Fulda Gap or a survivable nuclear force in the event of a nuclear first strike; now they worry servicemembers might not be learning enough about microaggressions.Last year, Bishop Garrison, serving at the time as the senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense for human capital and diversi...

Moore: Democrats throwing kids off the school bus

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:59:48 GMT

 Have you heard the outrageous story of what happened recently in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania’s capital? Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.), elected in 2022, had campaigned on school choice for tens of thousands of children, mostly minorities, who are forced to attend failing public schools in places like Philadelphia.“It’s what I believe,” Shapiro, then state attorney general, assured voters as he ran for governor. Last month on a national Fox News broadcast, Shapiro was unequivocal in his support for school choice because “every child of God” deserves “a quality education.”But there’s a force far more powerful in politics than Shapiro’s convictions, such as they are. And that force is the teachers unions. They put on a full-court press to stop the roughly 10,000 vouchers for the poorest kids in Pennsylvania’s worst school districts even though the state budget bill gave billions more for the public schools. It didn’t...

Steidler: Keep the Postal Service out of the booze business

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:59:48 GMT

The Postal Service is facing formidable challenges, and there are plenty of bad ideas to fix it. At the top of the list is legislation in the House of Representatives to allow the service to deliver beer, wine and spirits to homes.This new “service” will do nothing to fix the service’s finances and will result in a host of liabilities and added costs.It is far from clear that the service even supports this legislation. One special interest that will benefit from the measure is the members of Congress who represent alcohol producers and have introduced the bill.The Postal Service should ask that the legislation be tabled. Otherwise, tech-savvy, rabble-rousing teenagers, particularly those at home while Mom and Dad are at work, will have vastly increased opportunities to create mischief with severe consequences.America’s mental health crisis is especially punishing for the young. One indication is the large number of deaths and related calamities from alcohol abuse. The National Insti...

Editorial: U.S. presidential race needs new blood

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:59:48 GMT

President Biden announced his choice of headquarters for his 2024 re-election campaign Tuesday, and it’s not a good look.Biden will be working from home, running his campaign from his Wilmington, Del. residence.Biden picked Philadelphia as HQ for his 2020 campaign, but the pandemic saw him spending a lot of time at his Wilmington digs. The pandemic is over, and yet the president is staying put.He put a great spin on it: “My family’s values, my eternal optimism and my unwavering belief in the American middle class as our nation’s backbone comes from my home — from Delaware,” Biden said in a statement. “That’s why there is no better place for our reelection campaign to have its headquarters,” Politico reported.Perhaps his basement represents the country’s strong foundation.It’s hard not to see the hand of his White House team at play here: a literal home base means fewer opportunities to take a header up the stairs of Air Force One, or stumble over a sandbag, or othe...
