Why Would Anyone Move To Boise Idaho?
I've moved to Boise twice, so I consider myself pretty experienced in the "moving to Boise process". OK, the first time was when I wasn't quite one but the second time was after living 16 years in other states. Imagine all those other states and all the millions of people who live there, and how most of them haven't been lucky enough to move to Boise, I've done it twice and that has made me very experienced! I don't plan on gaining any more experience either, I'm happy to stay right here in Boise and never move again and that's the truth!
What makes people choose a certain place to live over another? Is it job, weather, location, family, safety, lifestyle, cost of living, a place they can afford? Are any of these qualifications of why you would think about moving? If so, I'd love to create a reason for moving to Boise. As I stated earlier, I was raised right here in Boise. In fact, I was raised on one of the most beautiful locations with the Boise River right in my backyard. When you looked out my window from front of our house you'd see our five acre alf alfa field. For you city folk that don't know what alf alfa is; it's that yummy stuff our bovine eat. For those big city folk, bovine is where hamburgers come from- yep, cows! When you looked out my window from the back you got to see the Boise River with the forest lining it's back. I had six brothers and sisters so luckily no neighbors were close enough to hear all our racket!
Currently, there are thousands of Boise homes that line the beautiful waterways that meander through our fair city. If you'd rather look out your back window into a tree-lined river than into your neighbor's back window (who is definitely within yelling range) perhaps Boise is for you.
For several years, people have voted Boise one of the United State's most livable cities. Micron, Boise Cascade, The Washington Group, and Hewlett-Packard Home are some of the big names housed here in Boise. We've got quite a group of technical and corporate employment. Plus, a variety of smaller businesses have cropped up as a result of these big companies, so lot's of job opportunities. For example, Boise was rated as the #2 place to begin a business by one big name business publication only a short time ago. Boise State University, a trade school, and several smaller universities, give Boise residents the best tier schooling chances not to mention their blue football fields.
After several years in Chicago, I almost developed a love for overcrowded roads, polluted air, and high crime rates, not to mention crooked politicians and over-promising community organizers (more than one of Illinois' former Governors are either in jail or on trial). I said almost. Boise features over 25 miles of green-belt walking, jogging, and bike paths that weave their way along the river. We have a ski resort within 30 minutes of downtown and two other ski resorts within a two-hour drive. Spectacular views of our mountains are available from nearly every piece of real estate in the valley. I might add that we are a very short drive to national wilderness area and America's tallest sand dunes. Now that I think of it, I don't miss the crowds or pollution or the community organizers at all.
Politically speaking, crimes fell 37% over the last decade reports the Boise Police Department. (I think they are at least speaking the truth.) You'll be glad to find that only 490 instances of graffiti, in 2006, were reported. 65 domestic violence felonies for that year and that includes the entire city. Sadly 65 domestic violence cases are too much, but it's rare to happen in Boise. In 2009 there were 7 murders reported compared to Detroit that report 361 during the same amount of time. You could find Boise a bit boring if you like violent crime. Probably not, so you'll really find Boise one of the best places to bring your family. For example, I was hoping to get someone to steal my car by leaving it unlocked and the keys inside. Never could get any takers. I hope that's a reflection on Boise not on my wonderful car. Boise was ranked number 219 out of the 272 metropolitan locations that have been tracked by the FBI for violent crime. It's true, long on to their website and just try to find any places in Boise with LESS crime than Boise. No one's ever heard of any of them. Still there are only six on that list have a population more than Boise's.
Those are the major points I want to make. I hope I painted a thorough picture. Re-reading what I wrote, I really understand why anyone wouldn't putting a move to Boise as a top desire. But to add the final clincher would be the price of real estate here. Since we started really keeping track Boise has never been more affordable than now. Any average person (most of the time don't we all feel pretty average) with that average salary buying an average home in Boise will still spend 20% less. Look at other cities in American to compare. If those statistics are hard to find, here's one to try-the average price per square foot is about for the average starter house in Boise we were just discussing. It's cheaper in Boise to buy than rent. Better be quick! It's not going to last long.

Coverage of Special Olympics - Where Were the Major Television Networks?
I guess the major network television media didn't think that the Special Olympics were special nor really Olympics.
Katie Couric didn't have a little blip about one of the contestants even though her sympathetic style would dictate that she do so. There are always plenty of stories at the Special Olympics.
The Vice President of the United States was ignored as if he wasn't here in Idaho cheering on these special people. The contestants were thrilled by his visit. The national television media was not.
The local television channels asked, "Where is the national coverage?
People in China complained that they had competing athletes but there was no coverage. Well, that was true of Idaho. We had no coverage here to speak of. Well, some.
Even PBS had little or no interest.
U.S. Vice President Announces Appointment of Special Assistant for Disabilities Policy
Vice President Biden said that President Obama was concerned about the Olympics. During his visit to the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Boise, Idaho, on 12 February, he announced that Kareem Dale has been named the special assistant to the president for disabilities policy. Dale's appointment marked the first time a U.S. president has had a special assistant focused exclusively on disability policy.
Biden said, "The commitment that the President and I have to Special Olympics and people with disabilities is deep and abiding. And we are backing up those words with real action at the White House," said Biden. "This is our first step to ensure that we have a strong advocate for people with disabilities at the highest levels of our administration." The nation needs policy changes that will ensure Americans with disabilities can get and keep fulfilling jobs without worrying about losing government-funded health insurance or other assistance, he added. "This is a civil rights movement," Biden said. "There's a need to have changes in policy."
But this was not important to the national media. Why should they mention such trivia? Kareem Dale is partially blind but not as blind as the national media.
Biden watched ice skating. Five pairs competed: Jose Visiconty and Brenda Monreal, Special Olympics Mexico; Tobias Werner and Cristin Ziebe, Special Olympics Germany; and three pairs from Special Olympics Chinese Taipei - I Han Pan and I Ju Wang; Keng Shan Chang and Sung Chien Sung; and Kuei Ying Lin and Fang Ting Hung.
Biden awarded medals to the pairs, and Kwan gave them bouquets. Read the story at the Special Olympic web site.
So, over 2000 athletes come from all the world to Idaho to compete in the Special Olympics and the national media could not find one damned story?
Well, there were over 2000 stories.

Canine Distemper
Canine distemper is a contagious, incurable, often fatal, multi-systemic viral disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems. It is caused by the canine distemper virus (CDV - a paramyxovirus similar to that which causes human measles.) The canine distemper virus is transmitted through the air, when infected animals cough, as well through bodily fluids such as urine. Puppies/dogs diagnosed with or suspected of having canine distemper should be quarantined immediately. While dogs of any age can be affected by CDV, most are puppies, between 3-6 months old. The key to preventing CDV is early vaccination, so talk to your veterinarian when you take your puppy for his/her first check-up.
The distemper virus can affect many systems of the body and common signs include:
o nasal and eye discharge;
o coughing;
o diarrhea/vomiting;
o fever that may come and go;
o seizures
Often, mildly-affected dogs may only cough, thus being misdiagnosed as having "kennel cough." Others may develop pneumonia. Puppies that recover experience severe tooth enamel damage. Also, the nose and foot pads of a young dog may become thickened (also known as "hardpad disease.")
CDV is deadly serious, and can spread rapidly through a kennel, especially if unvaccinated animals are present. Although not all infected dogs die, a significant number may. While dogs of any age are susceptible, the very young and old have the highest death rate. Dogs that recover from distemper may suffer permanent damage to vision as well as the nervous system.
As your veterinarian can explain to you, there are several methods he/she can use to diagnose distemper in dogs/puppies, including:
1. Polymerase chain reaction test (lab test) can be performed on samples of urine, cerebrospinal fluid, urine, blood, and post-mortem tissues;
2. Skin biopsies (including dog's pads), can be examined for the presence of the canine distemper virus;
3. Depending upon the severity and time of infection, blood examined microscopically may show characteristic changes called "canine distemper inclusion bodies";
With some diagnostic tests (i.e. antibody tests), it is difficult to distinguish between infection and the changes normally seen with the canine distemper vaccination. While there is currently no specific treatment for canine distemper, intravenous fluids are administered to prevent dehydration, and anti-seizure medications can be used if neurologic signs develop.
The good news is that excellent vaccines, with minimal side effects, have been developed and used for years, making significant strides in reducing the frequency of CDV. These vaccinations should be boostered for the life of the dog.

Whirlpool Duet Washer F2 Error Code
When the Whirlpool Duet washer control board detects a "long drain" condition the control panel will display the F2 Error Code.
During many parts of the wash cycle the pump will turn on and attempt to drain the water from the inside of the tub. If the pump time exceeds 8 minutes the water valves will turn off and a F2 error code will flash. In many instances the error code will surface but then "go away" only to surface 1 day, week, or month later. Other times the error code will surface and will not go away until professional repair is needed.
There are a few different things that cause the long drain or inability to pump efficiently. The most frequent problem I see is junk, bobby pins, toothpicks, socks, underwear, bra under-wires, plastic, dryer sheets, and other non-mentionable items:-> that somehow work there way in between the inner and outer tubs and get sucked into the drain pump canal.
The other problem I see is a defective or malfunctioned pump impeller. The impeller tends to break from its shaft and rattle around instead of rotating in a smooth fashion - which is required for proper pump operation. What causes this? Well, in the previous paragraph I mentioned the junk that eventually gets sucked into the washer pump canal. Some of this junk makes its way past the pump trap, if it's small enough, and caused enough stress on the impeller to damage and eventually break it.
So, how can we verify if we have a bad pump or we need to clean the pump canal? Easy, we choose step 1, clean the pump canal - from the pump all the way through the rubber drain baffle at the bottom of the washer.
First step, remove the bottom front panel of washer by loosening and removing the three screws located at the very bottom front of panel. Pull out gently then pull down to remove.
Second step, get a large bowl or shallow pan to catch the water from the drain trap. Place the pan under the drain trap to catch the water and remove the washer pump drain trap cover by rotating it counter clockwise. This may take some effort. Work slowly. Removing the trap cover too fast may cause a massive amount of water to flood out and cause damage. Remove it just enough so you can catch the water at a controlled rate.
Once all water has been drained out, remove the trap cover completely and clean all coin and debris from the trap. Disconnect the hose clamp from the rubber baffle hose that connects from the pump to the bottom of tub. Disconnect the large clamp from the hose at the bottom of the tub and remove the drain baffle. Inspect and clean it. Inspect and clean the orifice at the bottom of tub to make sure any socks or underwear hasn't clogged it.
Once we are sure everything is clear, and everything has been cleaned, stick your finger into the front of the trap and feel into the side of the pump where the impeller is located. Make sure there isn't anything stuck in it. Make sure the impeller moves freely. It should have a piston type of feedback feel when rotated. Make sure it is not broken from its shaft. If any damaged is noticed then the pump will need to be replaced.
These completed steps should help you resolve your F2 error code issues. If you are still having issues then professional appliance repair service will be needed. Thanks for reading.
