What is the best way to crate train a nine month old lab puppy?

We have three dogs total, a 6.5, 5.5, and nine months. Our older dogs are housetrained and have always been allowed in the house all day. We started out by having the puppy in our bathroom for the first few weeks with wee wee pads and his own toys, and eventually allowed him into the house with the other two (which we now recognize was done too soon). My concern is how to now go about crate training the puppy when the other two dogs will still have free reign of the house. He is a very high energy, exuberant puppy and I am concerned that he will act out if in a crate. Should his crate be in a room the other dogs are in or confined to a part of the house the dogs are not allowed in during the day? We are anxious to get him crate trained as his behavior is destructive. They are only allowed in our kitchen and living room, but he gets into trouble. He is a 95 pound lab puppy, very lovable, but very high energy and I worry that being in a crate means he won’t get to play as he has been.

Would this solve the green house problem and the energy problem?

1. Built wind generator farms and solar panel systems where practical.
2. Built nuclear plants
3. Get people to put wind generators, solar panels or both on their houses were practical
4. Use the electrical power generated to make hydrogen.

Why don’t you people take it seriously when Radical Muslims say they want to fly the flag of Islam?

….in front of every Capital, in front of the White HOuse, in front of every official state building in the West.
When so many of them chant death to the West,. this is their religion,
It has NOTHING to do with anything any Western ‘wrong” –besides just being free and rich.
Their hatred of the West and the Great Satan has nothing to do with anything we ever did to them.
They hated us long before 9-11. They tried to bomb the WTC in the early 90′s as well.
Why do you think that they hate the West though we make their countries rich through oil money?
If we (all Western countries) cut off our ties with them and converted to renewable energy, they would choke on dust, they would have NO financial support from the West besides Charity.

Why do Radical Muslims in the Middle East seek to bite the hand which feeds them?
smileycat: don’t play dumb, it’s on almost every documentary about Islam and “why do they hate us” : Even those who AREN’T terrorists say this. It’s very popular, are you Muslim, or do you just not know what you are talking about and never read a newspaper?

Central Heating using an electrical hot water cylinder – can that be done?

I know nothing about heating systems, so forgive my ignorance, please – but I want to install radiators all over my house, connect them with pipes, install an electric pump somewhere to pump the water through, and have the water heated electrically by an ordinary hot water cylinder. In the long run, I want to feed in power generated with solar panels on the roof of the house and by wind turbines. I live in a climate that’s very windy and extremely sunny, but chilly (30 to 60 Fahrenheit every day, some frost), and my house will need about 10 radiators and living space covers around 150 square meters of miserably insulated, 100-year old wood construction with single glazing.
Does this sound like it can be done, and may even be a good idea, or should I do something else (would be grateful for alternatives if so).
Cheers.
