			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Kardashian family home, the one that’s seen on the hit TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” is up for sale. If you’re interested, owning it will set you back $6.495 million. The famous abode is lavishly roomy with seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. In total, the residence takes up 7,240 square feet. It was built in 1983 and has a grand Italian fountain at the front. Additionally, there’s a library, a media room, and a wine cellar capable of fitting 2,000 bottles. Outside, a beautiful saltwater pool and waterfall await some new owners to delight.</p>
<p><center><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7084/7204473208_3ee36bc27c.jpg" alt="null" /></center> </p>
<p>The mansion is found in a gated community in Studio City. It’s not the first time the home’s made an appearance on the house listing scene. In 2008, it was being offered for $9.995 million; the following year it went down to $7.9 million. Apparently, the home is styled after the Medici castle in Florence. It bears an Italian name that’s somewhat bizarre: <em>Palazzo di Sono</em>. Perhaps someone misspelled <em>sogno</em> and the real name is “Palace of Dreams.” As it is, the name’s meaning is closer to “Palace of Is,” as in, the verb &#8216;is.&#8217;</p>
<p>In the Kardashians’ reality TV show, this house represents the home of Kris Kardashian-Jenner and Bruce Jenner &#8212; the mother and step-father of Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian. However, the real home of Kris and Bruce is in Calabasas, Calif. Another show that’s been filmed in this Studio City home is <em>True Blood</em>. The exact address is 11947 Iredell St., Studio City, CA 91604. Michelle Schwartz and Craig Knizek of The Agency are handling the sale.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to <a href="http://www.megabuilders.com/">complete home remodeling</a>, most homeowners are seeking to add on or to create major changes to their existing home. There are two choices you have when it comes to renovating. You can either do it yourself or you can have a professional contractor come in and do it for you. Major home improvement retailers have a wide array of do-it-yourself equipment that caters to homeowners who appreciate doing the work themselves.</p>
<p>             <a href="http://www.megabuilders.com/">Custom home construction</a> is usually done by professional contractors. It is wise to choose contractors that have expertise and experience to back up their claims. Be sure to look at before and at after pictures of the projects they have done. Be sure they are licensed and certified and have top ratings with the Better Business Bureau. A contractor&#8217;s top priority should be customer satisfaction and dedication to their clients.</p>
<p>             A <a href="http://www.megabuilders.com/">second floor addition</a> to your home is a huge undertaking. Sometimes second floors are added because of her growing family or to add a guest bedroom. Some people add-on a second story to their home as a place for storage. But no matter what your reason is for adding on to your home, you should choose a contractor with excellent craftsmanship, a price range that is well within your budget and someone who is truly dedicated to providing excellent customer service. Your home is your sanctuary so you should be completely satisfied with what ever renovations, remodeling or additions are done to your home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Article Submitted by <a href="http://www.topsolarenergycompanies.com/">Top Solar Energy Companies</a></p>
<p>Let’s face it: every energy source comes with its risk and benefits, and with incidents such as oil spills and nuclear reactor damage being in the news lately, the need for a safer, cheaper and consistent method of extracting and producing energy has become a priority.</p>
<p>While these disasters won’t necessarily occur with the production of solar energy, and which works as a huge benefit considering the context, there are certain limitations as well.</p>
<p>So here is a list of advantages and limitations that come with solar power:</p>
<p>Advantage #1: Solar Power is reliable</p>
<p>The amount of sunlight that hits your roof doesn’t change much. That makes it easy to calculate how much electricity could be generated through the year, and how much you will save on electricity bills.</p>
<p>Most of the northeastern states along with California and Hawaii charge a high price for grid power. This is where solar panels come in handy because they reduce the costs involved with grid power and reduce one’s dependency on it.</p>
<p>Unlike coal, oil and nuclear energy, solar power is considered to be far safer, thanks to the benefit of creating emissions-free electricity. The same cannot be said for the aforementioned three sources of power.</p>
<p>Limitations</p>
<p>No matter how much you wish, solar energy production won’t happen at night. While it is possible to estimate how much power will be generated annually, this is not possible on a weekly or monthly basis.</p>
<p>At the present moment, solar energy is absent without the usual tax rebates or credits provided by the government. Of course, if electricity is cheap in your area or there are no incentives to install solar panels, then it might be an expensive option.</p>
<p>Finally, another disadvantage is that some roofs might not be built to generate solar power.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An unknown buyer has agreed to part with $4.235 million in exchange for becoming the new owner of Britney Spears’ former home. The expansive 15,930-sqare foot home is nestled inside Summit, a Beverly Hills gates community. The original asking price was $2.995 million, which constituted a steep fall from the $7.2 million that Spears originally paid for the home in December 2006. </p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7191/6983120220_99199d7522.jpg" /></p>
<p>At the time, Britney had just initiated the proceedings for her divorce from Kevin Federline. Less than a year had passed when she tried selling it, unsuccessfully. The Beverly Hills mansion has five bedrooms, a master suite with a fireplace, and a great pool and spa. Its garage can hold three cars. The once reigning princess of Pop moved out of the place just the same. She hasn’t lived there since 2008. </p>
<p>That year, Spears left the home in a stretcher after a mental breakdown. After regaining her bearings, Spears began renting in Calabasas, CA, though, since early 2011 she’s been living in Thousand Oaks &#8212; in another rental. </p>
<p>Currently, Spears is engaged to Jason Trawick, who started out as her manager. Although Spears’ father, James Spears, has been her conservator since 2008, the courts just granted Trawick co-conservator status. Trawick will look after Britney’s daily affairs while dad James will continue overseeing her finances. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This year’s golf Masters champ is the thirty-three-year-old Floridian Bubba Watson. Winning his first Masters Tournament is not the only big change underway in his life right now. Along with his wife Angie Watson, the current world number-four has adopted a son and placed his summertime lakeside home in Lexington, North Carolina on the market. The address is 178 Foxglove Lane and the home’s being sold for $1.45 million.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5116/6928398076_6985a3620f.jpg" /></p>
<p>Bubba, whose birth name is Gerry Lester Watson, Jr., put what once served as a summertime residence for sale in February. The agent responsible for the listing is Tim Taylor; he works at his namesake real estate business, Tim Taylor Realty. The three-story house sits on high ground and overlooks North Carolina’s second largest lake, High Rock Lake.</p>
<p>This beautiful home encompasses 5,000 square feet and has views of the grand lake from three sides. Inside its lofty accommodations one finds four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two indoor kitchens. There’s also an outdoor kitchen, a heated pool, and a private pier. A guesthouse/staff quarters sits above a spacious three-car garage. The athletic couple &#8212; Angie was a standout basketball player &#8212; is leaving the house behind because they must reside in Orland, Fla., until their son’s adoption process is finalized.</p>
