One can't help but 'imagine their own journey' as they take in all the details of the kid's party tablescape.

Nocturnal leg cramps are sudden contractions of the lower leg and foot muscles. They often awaken you from sleep. The calf muscles are most often involved. The cramps are harmless. They do not mean that you have a serious disease.
The Calf Muscles
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The specific cause of nocturnal leg cramps is unknown. These cramps may be related to imbalances in local muscle chemistry. Many activities and diseases are associated with nocturnal leg cramps:
The following factors increase your chance of developing nocturnal leg cramps:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include the following:
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. If no specific cause can be found, treatment options include the following:
None of these medicines has earned full approval for either safety or efficacy. Quinine, while often effective for reducing the frequency and intensity of cramps, has a significant risk of major allergic reactions. The other prescription medications carry risks as well. So, they are not generally recommended. They are most often used in only severe cases.
To reduce your chance of getting nocturnal leg cramps, take the following steps:

These charming candle lantern holders are made from clear recycled glass and are decorated with a white daisy chain pattern.There is a stainless steel handle which can be used to carry the lantern or hang it from a tree or arbour. They look equally at home on an indoor or outdoor table.The candle holder is the size of a tea light and is removable from underneath, making it easy to replace and to light the candle.Made by a fairtrade organisation in India.Two sizes of lantern:Small, 12x7.5cm, £7.00Large, 19x11cm, £12.50
The purpose of a lantern is to release as much light from the candle as possible and to protect the candle's flame from the wind. Glass is therefore the ideal material for candle lantern holders and it should be kept clean. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. If there is a build up of wax, then warm soapy water will do the trick.These candle lantern holders are designed for a single candle or tea light. They can also be used by larger candles, up to 4cm diameter and up to 7cm tall. The removable candle holder is raised up slightly which prevents the base from getting too hot, but care should still be taken.

text: New Orleans Police are investigating the shootings of five teenagers. It happened early Monday afternoon at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and LaSalle Street. According to police, a white car passed by a storefront around 1:00 p.m. and an occupant fired from the sunroof, striking the five victims. The vehicle sped away. Authorities say the victims' injuries aren't considered life-threatening. The city's annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day march from City Hall to MLK Boulevard and South Claiborne Avenue had just passed by the crime scene less then a half-hour before the shooting.

Winter Maintenance
With a 2,000+ mile long winter storm affecting much of the country, there are plenty of home owners who wish they were better prepared.

Motivated Sellers, Better Prices and Less Competition
The Winter Home Buyer Report conducted in the second week of November by REALTOR.com® revealed the sentiments of current home buyers expecting to buy a house during the winter months. It appears that there is pent-up demand with buyers who were unable to purchase a home recently. Most cited as an impediment to purchase was the challenge of low inventory. Strong demand coupled with short supply explains... [Read more]
Thanksgiving is Always in Season
Most school children would probably say that Thanksgiving dates back to the Pilgrims at Plymouth as early as 1621. By the late 1660's, it had become traditional to hold a harvest festival in New England.

Refinance to Remove a Person
Most people are familiar with the various reasons a homeowner refinances their home which generally result in two major benefits: saving interest and building equity. There is however another reason to refinance which may not be as common which is to remove a person from the loan. In the case of a divorce, when one party wants to keep the home and the other party wants their equity out of the home,... [Read more]
Who's Paying Your Mortgage?
As a homeowner, you obviously pay for your mortgage but as an investor, your tenant does. Equity build-up is a significant benefit of mortgaged rental property. As the investor, collects rent and pays expenses, the principal amount of the loan is reduced which increases the equity in the property. Over time, the tenant pays for the property to the benefit of the investor. Equity build-up occurs... [Read more]
All Dollars Not Equal
The division of assets between the spouses is an important decision to finalize a divorce. The exercise looks relatively simple: assign a value for each of the assets and divide them based on a mutual agreement between the parties. The challenge is to make a fair division which requires an analysis to determine their value after they're converted to cash. Assume the two major assets in the example,... [Read more]

Why Borrowers Pay Different Rates
Lenders, like any business, have to make a profit. The cost of acquiring the funds, the operating costs to service and the expected profit margin are easily identified. The variable in pricing is the type of mortgage and the credit worthiness of the borrower. A loan with a 3.5% down payment is riskier than a loan with 20% down payment. If the lender has to take the property back to recover their... [Read more]
Lower Anxieties/Improve Marketability
One of the anxiety highpoints during the sale of a home is waiting for the buyer's home inspection report. Most sellers willingly disclose what they know about their home to any potential buyers. The concern stems from the inspector finding something that they're totally unaware of and that it will either cost them a lot of money to correct or the buyer will simply use it to void the contract....

Rating Your Best Friend-It can be issue with your insurance company
Man's best friend enjoys many of the benefits of his master's home besides food and shelter and a comfortable place to live and play.

Don't Do It! Make sure you are aware of the loan process and procedures!
You've seen lists telling buyers what to do to find the right home but knowing what not to do can be just as important. After finding the right home, negotiating a contract, making a loan application and inspections, buyers, understandably, start making plans to move and put their personal touches on the home. In today's tenuous lending environment, little things can derail the process which... [Read more]
Home Equity Dynamics
Equity is the difference in what your home is worth and what you owe. Ideally, as the value goes up and the unpaid balance goes down with each amortized payment made, the equity grows from two directions. This dynamic leads to increasing a person's net worth much faster than many other investments. A homeowner has minimal control over value. It is necessary to maintain the property to avoid depreciation... [Read more]
Who is my agent?
Just some information that you might or might not know or have thought of. More often than you'd expect, homeowners refer to the person they bought their insurance from as their agent. It sounds reasonable but it's definitely not accurate. That person is the agent of the insurance company and they legally represent the company, not the customer. Even an independent agent who can place a policy... [Read more]
Mortgage Interest Deduction-Will it remain deductible?
Originally, in 1913 with the Sixteenth Amendment, Income Tax allowed a deduction on any interest paid by a taxpayer. Prior to World War I, most interest was paid for business purposes and very little paid by individuals. Credit cards, revolving credit, student loans and home equity loans that would charge interest would not become popular for decades. However, by the 1930's, the Federal Housing... [Read more]

Twin Cities Real Estate Investing
The profit potential in single family homes for investment has been a consistently good long-term investment.

The Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers identifies what buyers want most from their agents and as you'd expect, help with finding the right home was ranked highest... [Read more]

Twin Cities Home Buyers and Sellers–FHA & VA Assumptions Might be a Consideration
Not many buyers have assumed a mortgage in the past 25 years. Most people think it was because FHA and VA in the late 80's began to require that buyers qualify for the assumptions. Not having to qualify for a mortgage would certainly benefit certain buyers. If a homeowner must qualify for an assumption like a new loan, they'll generally choose the mortgage with the lower interest rate. Over... [Read more]

Fannie Mae, in a recently released study http://www.fanniemae.com/portal/research-and-analysis/housing-quarterly.html , states that consumer attitudes continue to be favorable about homeownership, particularly with the younger generations, ages 18 to 34. Slightly over half of them think that owning makes more sense than renting when comparing the financial and lifestyle benefits. 90% of aspiring owners expect to purchase a home someday and slightly over half think they'll do it within five years. The primary challenges are having sufficient savings and the difficulty of getting a mortgage today. Younger renters see renting as a temporary stepping stone toward homeownership. Homeowners are far more likely than renters to be "very positive" about their housing experience. Some of the benefits identified are: • Having control over what you do with your living space • Having a sense of privacy and security • Having a good place for your family or to raise your children • Having the best investment plan • Living in a nicer home • Building up wealth • Saving for retirement • Living in a place where you and your family feel safe • Feeling engaged in your community To satisfy a buyer's doubts about qualifying for a mortgage, make an appointment with a trusted mortgage professional. If you'd like a recommendation at no cost or obligation, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 612-386-7027.

New Start: HTML5
What's coming in HTML5
Back in 1999 when the HTML 4.01 standard first appeared, virtually nobody envisioned video blogs, social networking sites, or Internet office tools. The upcoming HTML 5 standard will remake the web for the new generation of technologies and services.
By 2004, social network architects and web application developers knew that the HTML 4.01 standard was long out of date. The Document Object Model (DOM 2) standard for language-independent interaction with HTML objects was even worse. In the five years since these standards had been ratified, a generational shift had occurred in the web development industry, giving rise to new techniques for dynamic content, multimedia, and semantic processing. Representatives from Mozilla, Opera, and Apple, tired of waiting for progress, founded the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) to explore the possibility of an updated web standard.

Misfits Modular Sofa
Filed under: Decor
This is one bright purple couch! The Misfits Modular Sofa both looks like something out of a cartoon and acts like something out of a cartoon with its many shapes and configurations. It consists of corner and central elements along with two footstools, all of which can be arranged pretty much however you want. According to Unica Home the sofa elements "look natural as if shaped by wind and sea," but in my opinion they look more as if shaped by a Muppet. Although I do like it I don't think I could ever take it seriously! It really looks like like something meant to play on, not to relax and have an adult conversation on. Designed by Ron Arad the pieces are sold separately for $3,489 - $7,235.

I made this site to help people who are interested in the Rock Band Network. If you're like me, you want to find new music through the RBN, but you don't want to follow a million twitter accounts and stuff like that. With this website, all the authoring groups (even the tiny ones) can have their news easily accessible.
If you are a Rock Band Network customer, feel free to check it out. I have a section for songs, news, and companies. Every once in a while, a new song will be featured. Little gimmicky things like that. If you have a twitter, you can follow me at twitter.com/RBNStuff for occasional updates.
If you are an Authoring Company who is not yet involved, feel free to message me on here for details.
Anyways, I'd like to know what I can do to make this site better. Suggestions and criticism are welcome.
