Romance is a universal term that refers to close and sexual relationship between two people. It is an embellished or festooned expression of love.

BarrelhouseAccording to Mojohand's Glossary of the bluesA colloquial term, originating around the late 1800s, used specifically to refer to a bar that served liquor (especially whiskey) straight from the barrel, but more widely understood to mean any rough and rowdy drinking establishment.

Originates from the storage of barrels of alcohol. An early form of jazz with wild, improvised piano, and an accented two-beat rhythm (see boogie-woogie). A style of piano-playing associated with the above.

Bandwidth (or Transfer or Data Transfer) Bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is sent (and recieved) by your website. It is usually measured in gigabytes (GB), where 1 GB = 1024 megabytes (MB), and it is usually allocated on a monthly basis, for example you could have 5GB/month of bandwidth, which means that there is a limit of 5GB of files that can be downloaded from your site within a month.
I have added a brief lexicon of terms related to state and federal clemency, on the right side of this blog, in the yellow box, toward the bottom.

Hopefully, the definitions provided will be useful in helping readers understand some of the technicalities of clemency and my critique of clemency discussions.Last year, for example, I was one of only two persons who consistently reminded media (or, the media that would listen!) that President Bush had several (as in at least seven) options with regard to the pardon power, all of which would have allowed him to keep Scooter Libby out of prison.

This is a repost from Mar of 2006.In 1954 Muddy Waters had a hit with the Willie Dixion song "Hoochie Coochie Man" and ever since I first heard this song I wondered what Muddy meant when he sang that line "I got the John the Conqueroo." It is part of the verse that goes;I got a black cat bone, I got a mojo too,I got the John the Conqueroo, I'm gonna mess with you,I'm gonna make you girls, lead me by my hand,Then the world will know, the Hoochie coochie Man. According to Answers.com"John the Conquer root, refers to a number of roots to which magical powers are ascribed in American folklore, especially among the hoodoo tradition of folk magic among African Americans. The root, in turn, is named after a folk hero called High John the Conqueror."Who was John the Conqueror?"John the Conqueror

(Yes, I did almost forget)***********Hypotonia(as quoted from Wikipedia because I couldn't say it better)Hypotonia is a condition of abnormally low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle), often involving reduced muscle strength. Hypotonia is not a specific medical disorder, but a potential manifestation of many different diseases and disorders that affect motor nerve control by the brain or muscle strength. Recognizing hypotonia, even in early infancy, is usually relatively straightforward, but diagnosing the underlying cause can be difficult and often unsuccessful. The long-term effects of hypotonia on a child's development and later life depend primarily on the severity of the muscle weakness and the nature of the cause. Some disorders have a specific treatment but the principal treatment for most hypotonia of idiopathic or neurologic cause is physical therapy to help the person compensate for the neuromuscular disability.**********And that is ver

Yacht in modern use designates two rather different classes of watercraft, sailing and power yachts. Yachts are differentiated from working ships mainly by their leisure purpose: they are comfortable conveyances owned by the wealthy. It was not until the ascendancy of the steamboat and other types of powerboatt that sailing vessels in general came to be perceived as luxury items. However, since the level of luxury on larger yachts has seen an increasing trend, the use of the word yacht to mean any sailing vessel has been diminishing and is more and more limited to racing yachtss or cruising yachts.

Here we are – Short Sales!
SHORT SALES
A short sale occurs when the seller owes more on the property than it’s worth… it’s that simple. But ah, yes, it does get more complicated from here. One of two scenarios generally occur.
Scenario 1: The seller may be willing and/or able to bring money to the table in order to complete the transaction. If this occurs, this is not considered a “short sale” but sometimes you’ll hear this seller referred to as being upside-down on a transaction.
Scenario 2: The seller approaches the lender (s) to work out some sort of reduced payoff. Sometimes they need to approach both their first trust and second trust lenders and they need to work together to come up with feasible options. In this case, the lender becomes a 3rd party to the transaction and has to “approve” any terms or contracts that the seller agrees to.
In a way, it seems un

So, I’m sure I intrigued a lot of you yesterday with this fun topic! Frankly I was a little worn out, but decided to have another go of it today.
REO
REO stands for “Real Estate Owned” and is the term used when the bank (lender) now owns the real property and is selling it. It’s happens when there are no bidders at foreclosure OR if the bids are too low - the bank will have a representative present at the foreclosure auction to prevent a sale from occurring at a price lower than they are willing to accept.
So, when looking at a listing that is REO, it simply means the bank owns it… the bank IS the seller. The good news is that they will clear up any title problems remaining from the foreclosure. The bad news is that the property will still be sold in as-is condition; and there will be an addendum to the Regional Sales Contract that will override some of the provisions therein. Interestingly, they are

These days there seems to be a lot of talk about real estate foreclosures. In fact, in the year 2008 approximately 2,000,000 (that’s TWO MILLION) ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) will adjust… pretty staggering, isn’t it? And as they adjust, there will be some that simply cannot make the payments. For a multitude of reasons, people find themselves in this situation every day.
I am going to focus most of this week’s blog topics around foreclosures, short sales, being a seller, being a buyer, risks, pitfalls, upsides (if I can find any) and general information that is pertinent.
Today, let’s look at foreclosure. Foreclosure is a process the mortgage holder begins when payments are not made in a timely fashion. When you sat at the settlement table and signed documents, one of them outlined where, when, how much and to whom payments would be made. It also went on to detail what would happen if you failed to make

Source: WikipediaA mechanic's lien is a security interest in the title to property for the benefit of those who have supplied labor or materials that improve the property. The lien exists for both real property and personal property. In the realm of real property, it is called by various names, including, generically, construction lien. It is also called a materialman's lien or supplier's lien when referring to those supplying materials, a laborer's lien when referring to those supplying labor, and a design professional's lien when referring to architects or designers who contribute to a work of improvement. In the realm of personal property, it is also called an artisan's lien. The term "lien" comes from a French root (via William the Conqueror), with a meaning similar to link; it is related to "liaison." Mechanics liens on property in the United States date from the 1700s.Creation and Existence: Mechanic's liens exist to secure payment for services, labor and material on both

Purchasing a home is a smart investment. However, if you’re purchasing a home for the first time, there is some terminology you need to be aware of regarding your future home mortgage. Here are some common words and terminology you’ll encounter when you’re looking for a home loan.
Adjustable Rate Mortgage (a.k.a. ARM Loan): An Adjustable Rate Mortgage is a home loan where the interest rate adjusts throughout the term of the loan.
