There are some really great technologies out there on water heaters these days, and one complaint that I have is that the new water heaters do no last. One reason is that people don't maintain them. Do you know you should flush the water heater every year? how many of us really do it? Still we see allot of water heaters with only 6 year warranties. Are there better options out there?

As we continue to try to improve the site, we changed the maps so they are more user friendly, especially for those who are from outside of Treasure Valley. It does add another layer of informatin but it should help visitors get to the information they are seeking better.

What most consumers DO NOT know is that paying bills on time accounts for ONLY 35% of their entire credit score! Where does the rest of your credit score come from?

No, we are not talking about Brangelina. We are talking about your Digital Lifestyle and Home Entertainment. These are two words you certainly do not want to hear when you have been involved in a botched or unresolved audio/video solution.

FHASecure expands the number of borrowers eligible for FHA- guaranteed loans to include homeowners in default. FHA borrowers take out loans from about 8,500 qualified lenders, paying an added insurance premium. Their monthly payments are guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, which covers defaults from the pool of insurance payments, using no taxpayer money. In addition to not missing any payments before their mortgages reset and having at least 3 percent equity in their homes, eligible borrowers must have a job and the income to cover the payments, said Steve O'Halloran, spokesman for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which oversees the FHA.
