1517 Polk St, SF, CA 94109 | 415.673.1101 | Mon-Sat 8 am – 5:30 pm; Closed Sun | cash only
Mr. K and I have a well documented fondness for oysters on the half-shell, but despite living here for several decades, neither of us have never been to Swan Oyster Depot. We have a few excuses, the hours to begin with -they're not open for dinner and close at 5:30. Their location on Polk Street has never been very convenient for either of us and the legendary lines have all worked to dissuade us from ever visting. We both took some time off from work last week and decided it was time for us to join the acolytes making the pilgrimage to this venerable institution of seafood worship. There was a gorgeous spread in the front display window piled with succulent mounds of squishies from the sea.
We got there for an early lunch, arriving just before 11:00 and were psyched to snag two of the 18 stools at the long counter, which comprises the entire dining area of the restaurant. It was bustling and crowded but we were served by a solicitous crew of burly boys who were always checking in to make sure your every seafood desire was met. We ordered two Stella's which were poured icy cold from the draft.
The menu features extremely fresh seafood, simply prepared at very reasonable prices. There are seafood cocktails, seafood salads made of shredded iceberg drizzled with creamy Louis dressing and topped with mounds of fresh shrimp, crabs, calamari, smoked fish, cracked crab, even served sashimi style. There is a distinct familiarity about the place, the camraderie and banter behind the counter, most of the customers are greeted by name, we almost felt like we'd been coming here for years…
Each setting offers a well stocked selection of every classic condiment that you could ask for: an enormous bowl of oyster crackers, a fresh tub of cocktail sauce, a jar of kickass horseradish sauce that brought tears to our eyes, lemon wedges, a classic mignonette, a garlicky lime habanero sauce and a bottle of tabasco sauce.
We began with a dozen Kumamoto oysters on the half shell ($26), which were plump and briney, leaving the mellow flavor of the sea on my tongue. The classic mignonette was my favorite, the bits of savory shallot and acidity from the red wine vinegar create a lovely complex combination of flavors.
The kumamoto is especially lovely to behold with its delicate frills and blue gray hues of the sea.
This shrimp salad was a simple pile of bay shrimp with seasoned with salt and pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
I asked our attentive server if we could get an assortment of smoked fish (which wasn't specifically listed on the menu) and he brought over a platter piled with buttery slices of cured salmon (gravlox), meaty chunks of rich smoked salmon, a tender filet of smoked whitefish and a generous pile of seafood louis, which included big prawns, chunks of fresh cracked crab and succulent bay shrimp on a bed of chopped iceberg that had been drizzled with thousand island dressing ($19.50). We loved eating from the retro platter at the Carrera marble counter and devoured every single crumb, using every possible combination of condiment. Everything was fresh and flavorful.
Another classic side are thick slices of crusty sourdough bread with pats of butter.
We sampled a cup of the Boston Clam Chowder ($2.75), which was the only disappointing dish of the meal. It was broken, curdled and kind of foul smelling. One of the burly boys tried to downplay this when he saw our expressions, proposing that it was because they add clam juice to the chowder, which adds flavor. Hmmm…. well, I'm not ordering this again unless I can take a look at it with mine own peepers first and see that it is creamy, not curdled and smells good.
I asked our man if there were any dishes with scallops, which looked very good in the window display. He nodded and enthusiastically suggested Scallop Sashimi. We were game, and off he went after plucking up a couple from the case. He returned with this very exciting dish, a Mediterranean kind of sashimi. Thin slices of the sweet tasting scallops, drizzled with fruity olive oil and sprinkled with minced red onion and briny capers. We were spellbound by the bright fresh flavors.
We had another dozen oysters for dessert and he gave us a little sample of the Calamari Salad, the tender pieces of calamari were infused with the flavors of fennel and sweet red peppers. I'd order this next time.
Prominently displayed amongst the crowded walls is the prestigious James Beard award that Swan Oyster Depot received in 2000 for being aclassic regional restaurant. At the end of our meal, our server helped us recount all the dishes we devoured then rang us up on an old fashioned cash register. Oh and by the way, bring lots of cash because they don't accept credit cards and our bill (including quite a few Stellas) totalled up to $90+ some change. It was worth it though, and we're planning a return trip soon for a quintessential San Francisco treat.
While we were gorging, people came and went and a line began to form at the door. Glad we got there early…

Benzodiazepines and alcohol are the same drug, integrated care for psychiatry and medicine needs done right not reflexively
Wrote this over a year ago, but, it still applies:
the post replicated:
Picture your most annoying noncompliant alcohol dependent patient, why him/her is so difficult to work with, then when you have the image and feelings up front…………..
then picture your most recent "struggling" benzodiazepine patient who is just basically demanding more meds and dismissing any other interventions.
See a difference? I don't.
What do noncompliant, substance seeking, insight limited people offer in the office?
always erratic: never on time, extremely early or more often late, cancel appts late, if they show at all, stories never make sense and either take longer or are abruptly short in session.
inconsistent: with everything!
intolerant: never accept any boundaries, and take no responsibility for overt mistakes
usually unemployed or underemployed: and always complaining about payments until proven otherwise.
focus in the office is always first and last about medication, and quick to want more.
almost always with legal matters: even if not felonies, then civil matters, or themselves are taking legal action against others, even threatening the provider.
if at all involved in therapy, usually minimally participating, yet with enough psychosocial stressors for two or more people in treatment.
finally, few if any collateral supports of honest validity to their claims and situations.
Do these people ever come in and have a direct, uneventful visit? Do they ever genuinely seem satisfied with their current course of life? Do they ever offer the idea of lowering medication dosages? Do they ever offer ideas of how to improve their lives spontaneously?
How many between visit calls do you get from these patients, especially after they miss or late cancel an appt prior? And the final jeopardy question, why is it there is always an excuse they claim you should accept WHEN their controlled substance prescription runs out before it is due for refill?
This is why I am tired of the bullshit from benzo seekers. They are alcohol dependent people who get their drinks from a tablet. And they are quick to draw you into their convoluted, disrupted, and rationalized world of better living through chemistry, and will never accept there is a ceiling to dosage use. And from a liability standpoint, you have little ground to stand on to defend prescribing habits unless not only you challenge them repeatedly WHEN they pull stunts and are noncompliant, but document it repeatedly and make a statement of what you will do should the behaviors not cease.
below is my handout at the CMHC I give to people who just hassle me with their lame efforts at making me their dealer du joir:
My advice to providers: set limits up front once the patient is showing no other interest than just getting a controlled substance that is intended for misuse or abuse. If/when the patient has a negative outcome and you are seen as a potential villain by the family, show you made a sincere effort to set limits, and document every time you did so.
Not only is the road to hell paved with good intentions, you may become the guardrail that did not keep the reckless vehicle on the pavement.
It is time to make benzos controlled 2 substances, if at the very least to discourage PCPs and other nonpsychiatrists from writing them like pez. And then being the pez dispensers I recently label XAN-I-DO!!!
Good luck with your treatment efforts!
And then there is this ongoing bullshit by the APA and other self interest groups who are just trying to further dumb down and diminish psychiatry as a legitimate and needed intervention, I scan the middle of the article to avoid any readers who can't access it should http://www.clinicalpsychiatrynews.com make you join to read their articles:
Can we have a reality break here, please? Yes, patients go to PCPs and FPs and NPs for psychiatric interventions first, and by in large patients don't want to see a psychiatrist for fear of being labeled or being hospitalized or just drugged incessantly, but, what do the non psychiatrists do with these patients in their offices at the end of the day? They minimize the patient's concerns often, just throw drugs at the symptoms, and then set little if any boundaries what patients do in follow up until the reckless assessments and interventions fuck things up so much further, that when some patients do come to a psychiatrist's office, the presentation is complicated. That is not INTEGRATED CARE, but INCOMPETENT CARE, and frankly, I think the APA just wants to screw up general outpatient psychiatry, period!
And what does the article focus on first and foremost, what this costs, not what is accomplished. This is the god damn mantra of politicians, not clinicians!!! So yes, at the end there, "We need to make sure we're all working together to provide that care" is true and outwardly responsible, but, who is going to start by NOT preaching drugs first and continually? Not most PCPs and other non psychiatric providers, their agenda is entrenched and fixed, drug reps thank you very much!
To wrap this up and tie it in from the top, the prescribing of benzos is beyond out of control, it borders if not on criminal misconduct, at least gross negligence and malfeasance by providers, and that needs to be pursued legally. How do I get away with saying that, well, what did I read on Wednesday from the USA Today, front page?
Note in there the recurrent mention of benzos, specifically xanax! I am seeing it almost daily the past 2 months at this Family Practice site I am stuck at for another month. Benzos for people over the age of 60, what the hell were my predecessor and the other doctors there thinking? Obviously NOT!
I think they should open up a liquor store next to the clinic and use prescriptions to make the clinic more money, kick backs accepted, it's good for community solidarity. "1-2 shots q2h until distress or unhappiness abates or just fall asleep, dispense 250cc bottle, 2 refills". Oh wait, there is a bar already next door there and they sell package goods, so let's get that RX component up and running, shall we?
No, not including me!

Arwen's Mourning Gown
Photos of the movie costume taken at Nieman Marcus in Beverly Hills Dec 2003
Feb 6th 2004 I have the bodice and skirt sewn together. This dress is made from silk backed rayon velvet in Navy Blue purchased from Thai Silks. The dress is also lined with navy china silk.
I am working on adding embroidered Sari trim to the sleeves. This trim was cut from the edge of a gold bullion embroidered Sari - similar to the antique bullion trim used on the actual movie costume. Care was taken to shorten the height of the design by removing a few inches of the bullion coils from the top and securing all the loose threads in the back so the rest of the embroidery would not unravel. Blue iris seed beads were then added to the design.
TOP: Original Sari BOTTOM: Altered embroidery with blue seed beads added.
BELOW: back of sari - many loose threads to watch out for!
ABOVE: My finished sari trim added to the sleeve. The edges were finished with gold toned silk ribbon and hand embroidered gold bullion loops. The trim is still at least 2 cm wider than that on the original costume, but this was as much as I could alter the height of the design.

Star Sonata is a space-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMO), that uses a third-person 2d overhead view similar to that of Asteroids. In addition the game offers complex and involved commerce, construction and team systems. It's a hybrid of action, RPG, and empire creation. The goal for players in Star Sonata is to bring their team to domination and claim the seat of emperor.
I made an account on this website just so that i could write this review.
I have played this game for three and a half years, happily gave them my money, and do not regret any of it.
This is the only game I have ever played that has had the power to change my life. I think that says something about this game.
Star Sonata is a great game, I've been playing it for years and I'm still loving it.
The first time I played it was in 2012. Damn, it is something like Space Rangers and Freelancer in one game, but with extra features like in RTS and RPG, also with the improved micromanagement and endless items.
If you have some free time and friends, why not to make own fleet, make a team, bring your friends and slaves into the action, and travel across the Universe? It's up to you yet =)
Terribly. Bugs make it impossible to play this game based on skill.
game is great had the best years on the orignal client i would have gave a 10/10. But the newer client and all the updates and how they changed pvp is a little sadddening so i would give the second client 8/10.
As a veteran of Star Sonata, I first played the game about 6 years ago now. It was still relatively young then, and I've seen it grow and mature.
Originally, I was a perpetual F2P player. Alas, there was only so much that could be accomplished and when I had achieved great things for such a low leveled player, including membership on a then top 3 team (still regularly top 5 to this day) I lost interest.
It wasn't long however before the game drew me back, and this time with my credit card in hand. The game had changed significantly in the time I'd been played, and subscribing opened up a whole new world of possibility. The universe seemed vast and ripe with adventure once again. I began to work my way up, growing stronger, discovering new facets to the game play, new challenges to be faced, new enemies to conquer. I joined on with fledgling teams and we grew together to face the cosmos. Once again I worked my way up to another top 3 team, all the way getting deeper into the game as more complex aspects opened themselves to me.
That is the way of Star Sonata. It is initially a simple game. It's concept one that calls to the very hearts of most men. Placed at the helm of a starfaring ship, you pilot among the stars to meet new frontiers and face challenging enemies. You begin in a small, sequestered region of the universe, complete missions, gain strength. Even here, some of the ships looming in the nebulae seem powerful and foreboding. Before long, however, you rise to meet them. Just when you've hiked your leg on the last of them, believing yourself to be the grand champion, you are thrust into the true vastness of the game and you realize how small you yet are.
All in all, a great game that's had me hooked. New places, new enemies, new ships and equipment. Exploring new styles of play, empire building, economic expansion, and team dynamics this is a game that has a lot to offer. Support the few dedicated devs behind this game.

XSellco Price Manager Adds Price Replicator for eBay
Marketplace repricing tool XSellco Price Manager has developed a new feature that replicates Amazon pricing to eBay and other marketplaces.
The tool is the first of its kind, says XSellco. Up until now, sellers have had to spend valuable time and resources manually replicating their prices or setting different price rules for every channel.
XSellco's CTO Niall Dawson said, "Clients have been asking us to do an eBay repricer. We figured – if we're going to do eBay, let's include Magento, Shopify and Bigcommerce as well. Sellers can make their existing Amazon channel the source channel. They can then set up a destination channel. There's a default destination price variation so you can match all your prices from Amazon – you can add as many channels as you have."
"A seller might have eight Amazon channels and six eBay channels. They could reprice their UK Amazon channel against their UK eBay channel and their Japanese Amazon channel against their Japanese eBay channel, for example", concluded Dawson.

The rule is that the copyright years should include any year during which changes were done to a file that are still present when the package is released. That means, theoretically, that if a file mumble.el was modified in the year 2003, but that change was taken out before the file was released with the next Emacs version, the year 2003 does not need to appear. But in practice, the only good way is to make sure, when you modify a file, that the current year is in the list. > Are copyright years automatically updated from CVS data when a > release is made? No, maintainers are supposed to do that when they install changes.

When I stood on the starting line of the Rock 'N' Roll New Orleans marathon in 2011 Tom Petty's "Running Down a Dream" came on and I couldn't help but think that was a good omen for my race to come that day. I had attempted, and failed, to qualify for the Olympic Marathon Trials at least a dozen times before that. But I trained for years, putting in thousands of miles trying to achieve what was my biggest running goal up to that point of my life. I did run down my dream that day. I won the race in 2:18:49, coming in just under the 2:19 standard to qualify. It was an incredible moment. To chase a dream for years and to work so hard toward something makes it so much more gratifying to accomplish.
Earlier this month as I was driving from my hotel to the starting line of the USA 50k national championship race, Tom Petty's song came on. I couldn't help but smile and wonder if this was again my day. The dream was different. And like most goals in life, as we accomplish one, we set our sights on something else, often something greater. One dream of mine has been to qualify for a world championship race and have the opportunity to represent the United States in international competition. I've often thought this might be an unrealistic goal and I should be satisfied with the success I've had. But I have a hard time being content. I enjoy working toward something. There is a sense of purpose in working toward a goal, even if it takes years to accomplish. I truly enjoy training hard, I wouldn't be able to run the way I do if I didn't.
I've had the fortune of having some incredible training partners over the years. When you spend a couple hours every day working toward something you become pretty close with the people you share that time with. While living in Syracuse and competing for the Syracuse Track Club, I trained with some friends that will always remain among my closest. A few of those friends convinced me to run the 50k national championship race in Caumsett, NY this year. I was hesitant. Partially because last year I had attempted to qualify for the World Championships at this race, and came up short. OK, I wasn't even close. To be eligible for the 50k world championship team, men have to run under 3 hours for 50k. I ran 3:26:42, missing by almost a half hour. I thought I was prepared to make a serious attempt last year, but was well off of my target. This winter I had a string of strong workouts and with a little nudge from my friends planning to race, I decided to give it another shot. My friends Jared Burdick and Chis Raulli were also competing in the 50k in hopes of qualifying for the world team and Xu Peng was hoping to practice marathon pace for as long as possible during the 50k and drop out when his workout was completed. Jared and Chris both have impressive resumes for ultramarathons. Chris finished 6th place at the JFK 50 Miler in his ultramarathon debut and Jared finished 2nd place in the USA national championship for 50 miles last year at Cayuga Trails.
Race morning was 35 degrees, sunny and light winds. Perfect. I love cold running weather. Course record holder, and defending national champion Zach Ornelas was running. Zach was attempting to break his own record. Unfortunately, no one else was willing or able to start that fast. Zach immediately opened up a big lead. The course at Caumsett is a paved 5k loop with short out and back section each lap. This allows you to see many of your competitors each lap. In the first lap of the race Jared, Chris and I grouped up and ran together. We tried to run just under 18 minutes per 5k, the pace needed to achieve the 3 hour qualifying mark. Our pace was impeccably even. This is extremely important in a race where conserving as much energy as possible pays off. Our opening 5k was 17:55, right where we needed to be. Our 2nd 5k split 17:54. We found a nice rhythm and settled into trying to consistently run this pace. Zach had pulled away and out of sight in the first half of the race. Jared decided to chase him and pulled away from Chris and I at 20k. Chris and I continued to work together until 35k. From 25k to 35k my legs started to hurt and I was wondering how long I was going to be able to sustain this pace. We had been running 5:46 per mile, and it was taking a toll. At one point I remember looking at my Garmin watch and seeing that I had passed 20 miles, and I realized it was pretty normal for my legs to be hurting at this pace after this many miles. I tried to focus on just getting to 40k. Often in long distance races giving ourselves intermediate goals and checkpoints takes the focus off the total task at hand and allows us to get through a rough patch. I thought it was going to be an excruciating final 10 miles. I've been here before, and these races can be hard to get through. As I approached 35k, and I was realizing that I had completed 70% of the race and I was still on pace to hit the world qualifying standard, I started to have a mental boost. I was really excited that I was still on pace, and I was starting to believe I just might be able to do this! As my optimism grew, I could feel the boost from the adrenaline. I started to run faster. I was even feeling better. It's amazing how you don't notice as much pain when you become excited about the prospective achievement. From 35 to 40k I split a 17:46. My fastest split of the day. I even thought to myself that I better be careful and I still have a way to go. From 40 to 45k I ran 17:52, my 2nd fastest split of the day! I was actually going to hit the standard! On my final lap around the course, suddenly my legs were just drained. I thought maybe I got excited a little too early. As I made my way around the course I was no longer bouncing off the road, I was dragging myself through that final lap. As I approached the final mile, I saw Zach walking. He was in a lot of pain. He was paying the toll of a very fast early pace. I passed him, moving up to 2nd place. I was actually gaining on Jared from 35k to the finish but he had built a comfortable lead over me. I crossed the finish line in 2:59:19.6 in 2nd place. Jared had won the race and finished about 90 seconds before me. We were both so thrilled and I gave him a congratulatory hug. This was his first national championship. Chris hung on to finish 6th, an excellent finish in a championship race.
So I hit the standard, which I am still thrilled about. So I'm going to world championships, right? Maybe. I am eligible to be selected, but it is not guaranteed that I'll make the team. Automatic selection to team USA for 50k world championships is given to anyone who finished in the top 10 from the previous year's world championship race. USA had 3 men finish in the top 10 last year! That makes up half of the 6 available spots. Additionally, an automatic selection is given to the winners of the Caumsett 50k (Jared) and to the winner of the Mad City 50k in Wisconsin. That only leaves one spot available which will go to the fastest 50k time during the qualifying window. At the moment, I have the fastest time (other than the 5 people with auto entries). So, I will be selected only if no one else runs faster than me before this summer. Now I get to wait, an endurance test of its own. Regardless, I am thrilled with the results of this race, and couldn't be happier for Jared, who earned his win. I hope I can join him in Qatar this fall at the championships. If I do, I'll be running down my next dream.

So after being in the classroom for about 8 weeks (holy cow, it's been 8 weeks!!) I've finally run into my first absolutely true struggle with students.
A class of seniors, second track students who are by no means incapable or unintelligent–in fact they are some of the most intelligent young people I've met so far! Not that that is a long time, but it's long enough! 🙂 Actually! It's my counterpart seniors to the fourth period class I talked about in my previous post! And, in fact, the day this all began was actually the same day I described in my last post!
This day was the starting point of what I foresee to be the rest of a very rough semester for both the students and me.
Frenchie was out of the room at the curriculum planning meeting we had both been in all morning, and an email went out to teachers with prep during 6th period to find coverage for her. In this email there was news:
"The student teacher will run the class. You just need to be there as a presence."
…oh…okay…that wasn't MY plan, but why not? At least that way both senior classes would be in the same place for the next class period. Sure.
So off I went, without Frenchie to be the commanding presence in the room. My first real time on my own with the students.
Piece of cake. These students know me, they recognize that I'm one of the teachers in the room, so this should be no problem; it'll be just like any other day.
Wow. I could not have misjudged them much more than I did…
With Frenchie out of the room, the students decided to take advantage…as if I was a substitute teacher and unfamiliar to them! I had to fight against students talking, I had to swallow my frustrations and the urge to scream. Trying to maintain the great relationships I had already begun building with many of the students in the classroom, I tried to stay calm and collected, not putting anyone on the spot or making anything feel forced. I let them read in small groups, for heaven's sake! The same activity that had gone amazingly with fourth period was deteriorating and chaos for sixth period.
I ended up having to yell more than I really like to, making eye contact with those students who I hold to higher expectations and pointedly asking them, "Are ya kidding right now?"
Somehow I managed to get through the whole lesson, like walking across a scalding hot and rocky beach barefoot, but we got through it.
The next day, Frenchie ran into some of the students from that class who, unprompted, expressed their astonishment and amazement at their classmates' rudeness and disrespect. That made me feel okay, because at least I knew that it wasn't just me that felt floored by their behavior.
What did I learn from this situation? Well, I'm still learning from it. A week later. I'm learning that I cannot take the misbehavior of students personally.
I learned that they don't take me seriously because they recognize that I'm, really, not much older than they are. In fact, one student turned to me and made a point to say, "my siblings are older than you."
I learned that I need to start being stricter…meaner…less lenient with them.
So far, one of the most important lessons I'm learning as a student teacher: where my line is drawn.

So let's reflect on the last semester and see how went.
Babies and Mommies
Well, I finally saw the little babies get born. They were a lot bigger than I expected them to be at birth and a whole lot cuter to cuddle. Moms turned out to be braver and more formidable than I expected, and the birthing process was a whole lot messier and scarier. I don't look forward to giving birth. At the same time, I'm comforted that God designed women to be able to handle this very frightening process, and to be extremely good at being moms :) There's hope after all.
Magical Humans
In terms of surgery, humans are magical creatures and medical science is amazing. I rather liked working in surgery, and I better! I'll be working in Medicine all semester coming up.
So, what can I say?
Thank You, Nurses
I think I still like nursing. That's good. I get tired sometimes though. I get to do all this good for people, but it's draining. The work is hard and it's super stressful to get through the classes, assignments, exams, and mastery courses. It's not all roses, that's for sure. We should all be thankful for nurses. They work really hard to make sure we get better when we're sick. Oh, and they work really hard in school to make sure they become good nurses in the first place!!!
When In Doubt, Choose "C"
I was relieved to find out that I had passed all my courses. One exam really kicked me in the butt, and I was terrified that I had failed it. Fortunately, "C" was the correct answer for all of the questions I didn't know (just joking!), and I finished with mastery, two B+'s, and one A-. Hurray! Onwards to Semester 4!
Next Semester
I got assigned to the hospital I had wanted for this coming semester, and I hear that my teacher is excellent. It looks to be a good start. However, this is rumoured to be one of the killer semesters where they really test you. We'll be given really difficult cases to care for in the hospital, and they expect us to apply all of the knowledge we have learned so far. It should be interesting.
Sigh, so the holiday ends January 4th. It was a really good break. I'll tell you about it in a bit.
Enjoy the rest of yours, and good luck for the new year!

Making The Diagnosis
The platelet count of reactive thrombocytosis accompanying inflammation, bleeding, cancer, or infection is rarely elevated to the degree seen in ET. A Serum, fer-retin level is helpful in excluding iron deficiency (bleeding as a cause of thrombocytosis). Thrombosis never occurs in secondary thrombocytosis. All patients considered to have ET should have cytogenetic or molecular studies performed to exclude CML, a disease that can present in a patient with an increased platelet count and only a modest elevation of the WBC. For patients with borderline or moderately elevated RBC values, a Cr51 RBC mass study is mandatory to exclude PV. JAK2

It's been three years since Tom left Rosa, running out of town in the middle of the night on a stolen horse. After her parents threatened him, he felt like he couldn't have a future with her, so he made a new life for himself in the Army. He never forgot her though, and now that he has finally been granted leave, the only thing he can think of doing, is getting back to her.
When he arrives back home, Rosa is a changed woman. She's the new sheriff of Thornville and she's tough as nails. It's obvious she has been holding her own, but Tom couldn't have picked a better time to come back. Outlaws are targeting her, and even worse, they seem to be simply paving the way for an even bigger threat to both Rosa and the town.
They have to work with one another to fight off the danger. But together, their old sparks fly again. Can she ever forgive him for leaving her the way he did? And will they survive long enough to find out?
The story is a combination of steampunk, old west, and romance. And it is set in the same world as Skies of Fire, though they are each completely stand-alone stories. There is a similar thread, though, in that both books feature a couple reunited three years after one lover deserted the other.
It's hard to sympathize with a hero who unceremoniously dumped his heroine. He's got a lot to atone for and despite his heroism in fighting off the bad guys, I felt like Rosa forgave him awfully fast. The whole story takes place over just a couple of days. The romance is at the center, but there is a lot of action as well. Maybe a little too much. Sometimes I felt overwhelmed by all the descriptions of the equipment and choreography of the fight scenes.
But I found myself interested in the setting. The world building is clear and easy to understand –and the plot is pretty straightforward. I liked that the authors changed things up so much from the last book. I think steampunk fans looking for an action-packed ride will enjoy it.

Fr. T. C. Joseph Sdb
Bosco B.Ed. College, Dimapur
Christianity was born in the grave. A plant that sprouts in the fire does not fade in the sunlight; and that which is born in the tomb does not disintegrate at death. Easter powerfully proclaims: "you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there.' The day of the resurrection is the birthday of our Christian faith. It is the celebration of the death of death, the beginning of life eternal. Easter is the good news, which has forever changed the course of history and provided inspiration for countless millions throughout the world. It is the conquest of the ultimate enemy of life – death. Victory over ultimate annihilation, the resurrection is a mystery of faith, which speaks of another far more wonderful mystery – that of the love of God incarnated in the mystery of Jesus.
If Christmas is the gift of love, Easter is the gift of life. The feast of Christmas did not even exist for the first two centuries of the Church's life! But Christianity is inconceivable without Easter. Easter is a divine act that has happened in human history, in space and time. The birth of Christ inaugurated a new history while his rising from the dead installed a new hope. Resurrection is beyond the calculation of all reason and knowledge, beyond the boundary of reality. It belongs at once to the realm of the spirit and matter, superseding all human reason and imagination. Neither a Da Vinci Code nor a dozen of Dan Browns can ever fade the fact of this truth – the truth of this faith. Churches may be destroyed, crucifixes may be removed, and Christians may be tortured or even be martyred; but the true faith of Christians can never be erased or shaken by anything that is earthly, neither by a mother of all bombs nor by the father of all destructions…for it is a faith born of having been shaken – like the faith of Moses, Abraham, Job, Peter, Paul, and the like…
The resurrection is supposed to renew the whole world. However, this doesn't 'seem' to be the case often. Ours is a wounded history and we live in difficult times. We have only to watch the news on any given evening or read it at any morning. If there is an all-knowing, all powerful, all loving God who is the Lord of this universe, his renewing presence isn't very evident on the evening news and the morning newspapers. There is violence all over, fuelled on every side by self-righteous ideologies that sanction hatred and bloodshed – death and destruction – along cultural, racial, ethnic and religious lines. Life seems to be threatened from every side. It is fair and reflective to wonder: Are we becoming more afraid of life than death? Where is the resurrection in all these? Why is God seemingly so inactive, so silent? Where is the vindication of Easter Sunday?
These are important questions, even if they aren't particularly deep or new. They are the echoes of the very questions used on first Good Friday to taunt Jesus on the cross: "If you are the Son of God, come down off that cross! If you are God, prove it at once! Act now!" Then and now, it seems, we have never figured out why salvation can't work like a normal movie where at the end, a morally superior violence kills off or avenges all that is evil.
Except God doesn't work like a Hollywood or Bollywood movie and never has. The God of our faith is truly a God of surprises! God, as revealed in the death and resurrection of Jesus, doesn't meet our expectations even as he infinitely exceeds them. What the resurrection teaches is that God doesn't forcibly intervene to stop tragedy and death.
Instead he redeems tragedy and vindicates the death. God rids the world of evil not by using force to blot it out, but by vindicating what's good in the eyes of evil so that eventually the good is all that's left. Evil has to forever "look upon the one whom it has pierced!" until it understands what it has done and lets itself be transformed. How does this come about?
What the resurrection of Jesus reveals is that there is a deep moral structure to the universe, that the contours of the universe are love, goodness and truth and that this structure, anchored at its centre by Ultimate Love and Supremacy, is non-negotiable: You live life its way or it simply won't come out right. More importantly, the reverse is also true: If you respect the structure and live life its way, what is good and true and loving will eventually triumph, always, despite everything. If this is true, and it is, then we don't have to escape suffering and death to achieve victory, we have only to remain faithful, good, and true inside of them.
However, part of what is revealed here is that we need a great patience, an endurance called hope. God's day will come, but God, it seems, is not in any hurry!
Good and truth will always triumph, but this triumph must be waited-for, not because God wants us to endure pain as some kind of test, but because God, unlike ourselves, doesn't use coercion or violence to achieve an aim. God uses only love, truth and goodness, and God uses these by, structurally and non-negotiably, embedding them into the universe itself, like a giant moral immune-system that eventually, always, brings the body back to health. God doesn't need to intervene like a super-hero at the end of a Hollywood movie and use a morally superior violence to wipe out the bad ones so that the good are spared pain and death and the evil ones are avenged. God lets the universe replenish itself the way a body does when it is attacked by a virus. The immune system eventually does its work, even if, in the short term, there is pain and even death. But always in the end, the universe rights itself.
Simply put: whenever we do anything wrong, anything at all, it won't turn out right. It can't. The structure of the universe won't receive it and it comes back to us, one way or the other. Conversely, whenever we do something right, anything that's true, good, loving, and beautiful, the universe vindicates that. It judges our every act and its judgment allows no exceptions.
Perhaps that judgment doesn't seem to be immediate; it can seem a long time in coming and thus, for a time, we can be confused and ask the question: "Why doesn't God, truth and goodness, come down off the cross?" Gandhi's own words might be encouraging at such trying times: "When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always." It was Gandhi's adamantine faith that without a single exception, always, evil is shamed and good triumphs. The resurrection works – gently, but definitely, in its own way, and in its own time! Let the Easter festival give us the courage to carry on, in goodness and truth.

Nourishing Friendships
by Kyoko Mori
To entertain a guest, an idea, or a possibility is to receive each of them with an attitude of openness. In my 20s and 30s, when I lived in Green Bay with my husband, Chuck, I was unable to entertain this whole notion. Our friends came over to watch television or listen to music and stayed for supper, but we didn't give them a proper invitation. "You can come by our house if you want," we'd suggest. "We'll probably be home, but whatever. Let's play it by ear." Even the regionalism of our speech ("come by our house," rather than "come to our house") was non-committal. If the house was dark and both our cars gone, the prospective visitors could just drive on by: we had never promised to be home to welcome them.
The idea of inviting people for a meal was foreign to Chuck, who dreamed that someday, scientific progress (in the form of a complete-nutrition pill) would make food consumption obsolete, giving him more time to read, practice yoga, and play the guitar. I liked cooking and eating well enough but, as a young feminist, I was appalled by the unequal distribution of food-related chores in our household. I didn't want our guests to see me tossing a salad and taking a casserole out of the oven while Chuck set the table. So I failed to take advantage of the perfect setting—a house with a dining room and a huge back yard—we had for entertaining.
Then, in 1999, I moved out east and settled into a 440-square-foot studio apartment in a condo building near Harvard Square. I was 42 and divorced, and most of the people I met through my new teaching job were single apartment-dwellers who had grown up in New York or Boston. These busy writers, scholars, musicians and artists seldom cooked for themselves, much less for their guests. In Green Bay, if a group of people found themselves with extra time on their hands, they might go to one of their houses for coffee—even Chuck and I had cookies and simple foods like bagels in case this happened. But when my new colleague Patricia and I misread the poster for an event at the Cambridge Public Library and met there two hours early, we had to find a cafe instead of going to her apartment a few blocks away. Out east, people did not casually invite you into their living space.
I missed the hospitality I'd taken for granted in the Midwest. My new friends and I would watch a movie and go to a restaurant afterward to talk, but it wasn't relaxing to sit in noisy public places night after night, being waited on by strangers. On the nights when all the restaurants were packed, I started saying, "Let's just go to my place. I have some food." I had chosen my apartment because, unlike the other studios the realtor showed me, this one had a fully functional galley kitchen where I could bake bread and make a big pot of soup every week. I hadn't turned into the kind of single person who ate cereal for supper or wolfed down a deli container of salad while standing by the sink. I always had enough groceries in my small under-the-counter refrigerator to make an omelette or pasta primavera.
I quickly progressed from having friends over for impromptu after-movie dinners to inviting them ahead of time ("Let's go to a movie and then have dinner at my place. I'll prepare something simple so it won't be any trouble"). Then I started having a few guests over for a more elaborate dinner (an appetizer, an entree, bread, salad, pie) that was the main feature of the evening instead of an afterthought. Soon, I was hosting birthday parties for friends, colleagues and neighbors. By moving the furniture, throwing some pillows on the floor and baking a couple of homemade pizzas, I could entertain as many as 20 people in the one room that was my living room, dining room, and bedroom. The guest list, compiled by the birthday person, usually included people I didn't know. Hosting a party for someone, I discovered, was the best way to meet his or her friends. I wasn't particularly good at introducing myself to a lot of new people at once, but when the party was at my place, the part I dreaded— explaining who I am and why I was there—was a cinch.
I now live in Washington, D.C., in a one-bedroom co-op apartment (660 square feet), which seems enormous. Though I still don't have a separate dining room, my living room is large enough for a party without rearranging the furniture, and this time, the galley kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator and a dishwasher. Entertaining has become one of my hobbies. In the last few months, I've held a cocktail party for my friend Ellen's birthday, a pizza party for the graduating students in the MFA program where I teach, and several small dinner parties with a few close friends. Sometimes, if the guests stay long enough, the quietest person in the room will suddenly tell the most memorable story of the evening, or a very serious colleague will confess her love of reality TV. My guests go home feeling they've gotten to know one another a little better.
My favorite company dishes are lasagna, filo casseroles, or enchiladas—things that are baked in layers. I can spend the whole day before the party simmering the sauces, preparing the fillings, grating the cheeses, and assembling the layers in a baking dish. Each step is methodical and meditative. I'm not the kind of cook who substitutes one spice for another and invents a new sauce, a creative genius whose signature dish cannot be duplicated by anyone else. I follow the detailed, step-by-step directions in one of the cookbooks I know well, everything goes according to the plan, and the food is done when it's done. For me, cooking—unlike writing— is a fail-safe, no-pressure activity. Alone in the kitchen, I don't come up with a stunningly clear sentence that contradicts all the others I've drafted and revised a dozen times; I don't have to scrap the whole project and start over because that one new sentence makes me realize that the truth is the opposite of what I'd believed. When I write, I might spend four years at my desk and not know what it all means; when I entertain, the guests arrive at six or seven and I am ready.
I indulge my own likes and dislikes in planning a meal. I wouldn't serve anyone the one food he or she abhors (eggplant, mushrooms and zucchini often make this hate list), but I'm a vegetarian, so my guests would sit down to a stuffed squash at my Thanksgiving table. If someone is allergic to cats, I'd offer a box of tissues but I wouldn't lock the cats in my bedroom. The fun of entertaining is in being in charge. It is my house, and the guests are there to share what home means to me. Entertaining connects us to the community around us, but it also reaffirms our own way of living. I became interested in entertaining only when I realized how much I loved the home I'd made in my studio in Cambridge. Inviting friends to an impromptu after-movie dinner was to imply—to them and to myself—that my home was better than any restaurant. During my first year in that studio, I replaced the ugly curtains and light fixtures the previous owner had chosen. I had to have a place of my own before I could take enough pride in my home to share it with others.
Three years after my move, Chuck visited me in Cambridge and met my new friends at the dinner party I threw in his honor. I also got people together to visit museums, sculpture gardens, jazz clubs and restaurants with him in a week-long extravaganza of socializing and entertaining. After that, he was once again my friend, an important member of my community. Though he hasn't visited me in D.C., his sister has.
Everyone needs solitude and community, it seems to me, but partnership is optional. I'm better at being a friend than a wife. I have no desire to get married again. Staying single, however, isn't the same as longing for isolation. I write in a quiet apartment I can have to myself, knowing that I can fill the space with other people's stories when I choose to. Entertaining is the bridge between solitude and community—the two ways of being that nourish me.

This wasn't a bus trip, but it is an annual outing for us. Thursday was the best day in my opinion to attend the festival. It started off rainy, so I didn't take my camera, but by the time we got there is was 85 and humid! So much for Spring. The first band we went to see is what we thought was John Primer. He is my personal favorite Chicago Bluesman, but he didn't play. the band we saw was very good Big Ray and Chicago's Most Wanted.
The second band was very inspirational to me. We had the honor to stay in a room he stayed and was named after him at the Shack Up Inn located in Clarksdale, MS. For those who don't know….. this is where the the crossroads are located that Robert Johnson sold his soul to be a great guitar player. anyway . . . . this man is a legend Pinetop Perkins. He is 95 years old and still playing. He only played 2 songs but it was a real treat to see him. I did catch a photo with my phone, which is suppose is better than nothing.
Also playing in the band was harp player Willie "Big Eyes" Smith and on the bass was Bob Stroger And on Guitar was Bob Margolin, who co-wrote music and played with the late great Muddy Waters. was lucky enough to capture a photo of him.
By then it was dinner time and as we walked to the resturant, we walked by the Gibson Guitar bus, which Taylor imediatley had to check out. He did get us a tour of the inside of the bus. Very nice. Many guitar's, amps and keyboards. I would not mind taking a road trip in that! Of course he had to check out the guitars. Here is a picture of him playing an Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul.
After dinner, Marilyn and the boyz went home, and stayed for the head act. Johnny Winter and James Cotton as usual he was phenomenal. I think the last time I saw him is when I lived in Dallas. He played inside the Petrillo Music Shell. I got lucky and was able to get inside the shell, but never got a chair. I just stayed one step of security and stood as close as I could. All in all a great night of blues.

so I'm here, at work still marking, marking, marking marking. And I am not even marking knitting yet - that I hope to get to this afternoon, and finish tomorrow before I take 2 weeks leave - there is one more theory workbook to wade thru .. and then I hope the knitting which is what I think will be the fun stuff. For those of you not in academic life I apologize, for it seems that the bane of an academics life is marking, if there is to be a moan collectively from acaemics it is around marking, it takes time, it takes energy, it takes effort, and mental agility. I find marking very very draining. Oh there are those gems, the bodies of work that are a joy to work thru - where there is evidence the student is not only absorbing the ideas their learning presents them with .. but thinking about them in relation to the world around them - those are exciting. Unfortunately for every one of those there seems to be more of the ones where the message didn't quite get to the student in the way it was intended .. and for that it takes energy to format quality feedback so they can improve. To me the main point of marking is to help students improve, to describe and position their work in a way they can see what they need to work on more and what is fine as it is. I've spend the past few years working with ideas of feedback, the advice given to students about their work, and the end result is I really do try and aim to do my best to communicate clearly to students what they do well .. and what they could do more of next time, but that takes time, and energy and effort to do that clearly for each student. The more confused their work is the harder it is to work out what to tell them to do next time.
which means right now I'm feeling ... drained, worn out .. by it all, but in a totally good way. Most of the ones I'm marking now have made changes to their work based on the informal feedback i gave them at the end of the last term - so that is encouraging.
And in betwixt the marking there has been knitting. Knitting is my little retreat from the mental agility required of the days and days of marking. First up I have a plan for the sock that was too small, an informal arrangement to swap it for a skein of the same colour yarn as I've used as the background of Nightingale, a pale mauve pink ... slightly darker but a similar look. That is plan A, if her foot fits (we will do the cinderella thing tonight at knit night). If Plan A works, I can knit these all over again but in my size :D Once i had an idea of who might want to swap yarn for socks ... it seemed easy to cast on for sock number two and knit away, this is 2 days knitting, with work in the middle, Cast on after breakfast Tuesday, knit until I leave for work, knit at home after-work, ditto Wednesday and again this morning (its Thursday here) - and now I have only the final 7 or so decrease rounds to work .... wow - a 3 day lace sock! I'm not sure it was good for my hands to knit so small so much ... but interesting to know if I needed to i could knit a pair of socks in a week - I am not sure I should rush into that sort of challenge though.
and there is also this, a wee wash cloth, in organic soft cotton from Rowan, 4 ply from memory on 3.25mm signature needles (my absolute favorite needles of all time). This was mostly worked as i wandered around the knitting elective class, it was my sampler, if some one needed to know how to ssk, or k2tog, or k2tbl, or m1 or rib or moss or whatever .. I'd work what they needed on this, as they worked on theirs. Then I would frog my demonstration and go back to a slip stitch pattern. I need to weigh this and see if there is enough left for a second cloth .. or if I need to look for a similar weight yarn to put with it, Rowan is expensive so I don't want to waste it, but it is wonderfully soft and silky for cotton.
Next post will have more knitting - and less marking
it will - I promise
take care Stella
A knit blog, mostly about knitting, or thinking about my knitting, i also weave, spin, make books, and draw or paint with water colours, i have dyed yarn and baked, and all of that can end up here.

Marking, and not even the knit stuff

I can only imagine the weariness that follows marking so much written work. It's amazing that you take the time to give such constructive feedback!
- Knitting Linguist said...
I sympathize with the woes of marking (aka "grading" stateside). I find that it's hard enough to do it when I know that students will get and read the feedback and then be able to show me that they've incorporated it (or not); the hardest, though, is the last assignment of the semester, which 99.9% of my students do not pick up. Alas.

Winsford & Middlewich Guardian (defunct)
It was part of the Mid Cheshire Guardian group of newspapers published by Newsquest (North West) from editorial offices in Northwich.
It was founded in 1860. It split into two separate titles in 1946: the Winsford Guardian and the smaller-circulation Middlewich Guardian. The two titles were reunited in 1993, separated again in 2002, and reunited once again in 2009. However, the two separate websites, two e-editions (available by paid subscription) and two social media identities continued in existence.
It came out on Wednesdays.
It ceased publication at the end of June 2013 when it merged with the Northwich Guardian to form the Northwich, Winsford & Middlewich Guardian. All three websites and social media identities have been retained, although the separate e-editions have ceased.

Sappy-sweet, pure maple syrup gently cascades down a mountanous pile of doughy sweet potato-based pancakes. A gentle dallop of creamy homemade whipped cream delicately sits atop the cakes. Perfectly crunchy, flaky pecans are dispersed carefully over the entirety of the food formation: A Typical Breakfast for Emily.
So, I thought it would be tactful for me to insert the picture at the beginning of this blog post. I'm tempted to believe that many of you simply do not give one care in the world about what I have to say, and you simply just wish to poodforn? Am I right?
Regardless, that picture above is one of the all-time best breakfast shots I have ever captured. Eat vicariously all you'd like. If you'd like to act upon your now-watering mouth, just simply google sweet potato pancakes, that's what I did. Glad I could provide you the recipe.
LOL JK, I just can't seem to locate the recipe and I feel time-crunched to get this post in the blogosphere.
In the spirit of continued pancake convo, I'd also like to time travel waaaaay back to beginning of last school year.
One day, my mother had a hankering and we fulfilled it. She wanted pancakes, despite it being 3:30pm. Luckily for us, we tend to gravitate toward cafes and restaurants that tactfully keep pancakes on their menus all day. On this particular day, we were sipping chai lattes and talking about men at Luci's Healthy Marketplace on 16th Street and Bethany Home in Phoenix. It's so trendy, I can't even. I don't always love restaurant-made pancakes, but when I do love them, I love them hard. Please take a look:
I realize these are ever-so-slightly inferior to the drizzled, goopy, heavenly "wafels" Amelia devoured in New York, but I think they still deserve a "Participation" award for their efforts in what–again–has not been much of a battle between Amelia and myself.

I was having an interesting conversation about this subject with a yoga business friend who also happens to own a yoga clothing and apparel company.
As yoga business women, as well as women who are deeply interested in transformation, personal growth, and spiritual evolution, we both wondered why a peculiar condition and concern exists in the business of yoga and other mind/body/energy practitioners. It goes something like this, but can have many variations on this theme:
"The generating of money or profit is synonymous with greed, evil, avarice and is aligned with the non-spiritual."
So with that, we have a fundamental conundrum in the business of yoga.
How do we find our way around this conundrum so that we can be "ok" with earning money for a service that we provide people, a service that makes a profound difference in the lives of these people including ourselves? One might even consider this perspective: The money you make is a way to measure how many people's lives you have helped with your yoga business.
From this author's perspective, the conundrum presented here is causing an obvious block in the lives of some yoga buisness professionals. That is this: You can't want to earn money and yet hate money all at the same time. Try having that attitude with a close personal relationship or loved one. Doesn't work very well does it? "Honey I really want you around, but I secretly think you are bad and can't stand you.
These are some concerns we've been hearing from yoga business professionals and instructors:
These concerns, although understandable, reveals a gaping hole in our understanding of one thing: Our relationship with the neutral energy known as money. Just like a relationship with any loved one in our lives, we want to maintain a healthy relationship with money. Like any human relationship it can be dysfunctional; and those kind of relationships don't go so well.
How is your relationship with money or with our yoga business for that matter? How do you relate to it? Have you thought much about that relationship? Is it just a necessary evil or do you have a healthy respect for it? Not worship. Respect.
Do you respect and are you careful with the power of electricity? Electricity has the power to bring you an abundant quality of life and it also has the power to kill you. Money is similar to electricity in that it is simply a neutral current. Depending on how you use it, that's what makes it brilliant or deadly.
If you find yourself judging money or the business of yoga in a less than positive light; if you find yourself resenting that you don't have as much as you want or that you have to work so hard for it or that they have it and you don't – you might want to just stop doing that – being so judgmental and resentful that is.
Money is not evil, nor is business. Having money above and beyond survival needs is also not evil. The more excess you have, the more you can help those who are less fortunate by growing your yoga business.
It is the purity of spirit each of us brings to our yoga business or to the process of earning money through our yoga business that causes the results we get. Business, if conducted with integrity, non-judgmentalism, and following universal principles, can both produce profit and be a source for profound good in the world and more specifically in your communities.
We can transform the energy of business starting with our own. First, we can become aware of and then eliminate any behaviors that betray a paradox of belief; "business of yoga -- or selling things to people -- is bad, but I want some".
Second, we can recognize that our yoga business has very little to do with us and a whole lot to do with making a difference for others.
Third, we can continuously educate people on how it makes a difference for them and others. When we are focused on others, focused on providing solutions and making a difference while at the same time establishing sound, authentic, foundational, consistent business practices that cause our yoga business to thrive, then we can and will have a business that is completely compatible with spirit. Remember, if you can't stay in the business of yoga due in part to disempowering thoughts or beliefs about business and money, you can't make a difference for more and more people. In my perspective, its just that simple.

Brief Synopsis
Anthony Halliday (Ralph Bellamy), brillant young surgeon, is forced to resign as chief of staff at a New York hospital when he is compelled to delay an appendectomy on the daughter of John Mitchell(Stanley Andrews), wealthy supporter of the hospital, because of an emergency operation he has to perform. The appendectomy is successful, but later complications cause the girl's death. Carol Andrews (Joan Perry), his fiancee, regards him as a failure and leaves him. Halliday, suffering from amnesia brought on by the shocks, drifts to Scranton, Pa.,where he gets work in the steel mill. He only remembers who he is when he finds himself bandaging some injured workers. The mill doctor, Miller (Edward LeSaint), asks him to become his assistant. Halliday remains at the mill under the name of John Davis. Because of many accidents at the mill, the smelter boss, Joe Kosovic (Fredrik Vogeding) is demoted. He becomes friendly with Halliday and invites him home for dinner, where he becomes attracted to Gerta (Gloria Shea), Joe school-teacher daughter. Accidents increase at the mill, and the mill's safety and personnel man, Brant (Fred Kohler), is ordered to investigate. Brant is actually in the pay of a rival firm trying to shut the mill. In school, Gerta hears Danny Brant (Georgie Billings) talking about a game called "Steel-Mill" that has a point of dropping bricks on people's heads. He sullenly refuses to tell Gerta that his father's conversations with his conspirators inspired it. Gerta inform Halliday about it, and he begins to investigate Brant's activities.

At Signature Home Loans we aim to be your one stop shop for all your mortgage needs. Scott Green has been serving the Phoenix area, including Scottsdale, Peoria, Glendale and everywhere else in between for the past 22 years. Scott prides himself on being the most knowledgeable loan consultant in the Phoenix area and helping you understand the home loan options that are available to you. That way you can make an informed decision when choosing which home loan option is best for you. Signature Home Loans is a local owned company, which means you'll get the personal service and respect you deserve from your lender. We live, work, and play in the Phoenix area.
When choosing the right home loan, the most common loan program we help people with is a conventional loan. Conventional loan down payments start at 5% and have financial requirements. However if you have enough money saved for a down payment and have the financial history, this is a great option since you will end up paying less for your home over the life of the loan.
If you are purchasing a higher priced home and require a loan amount above $417,000 you will need a specific home loan program known as a jumbo loan. These loans were created specifically since conventional loan guidelines have a lending limit of $417,000. It's important to work with an experienced jumbo loan lender like Signature Home Loans since we can get you the most competitive jumbo loan rates in the Phoenix area.
FHA loans are a great alternative to conventional loans. The minimum down payment for a FHA loan is 3.5%. On top of that the financial requirements are looser than conventional loans. Even though you don't need to be a first time home buyer to qualify, a FHA loan is a very popular loan program for those with a short credit history, a not so perfect financial past, and don't have a large down payment.
We offer both fixed and adjustable rate options for all of our home mortgages. Loan terms for fixed rate mortgage range from 10 to 30 years and we offer 3/1, 5/1, 7/1, and 10/1 adjustable rate loan terms. Adjustable rate mortgages usually have lower interest rates compared to fixed rate mortgages.


text: Finding the right curtains for your bedroom window can help to tie the room's decor together. There are so many choices for curtains, heavy and light, luxurious or simple, long and short length. Short curtains for bedroom need to use decoration styles that make the window appear bigger. Example of short curtains for bedroom; hang plain white linen curtains on an oak curtain rod for a simple style. For a feminine feel, use short, transparent pink curtains with a tiny ruffle on the bottom and top hems; hang the curtains from a white curtain rod with flower-shaped finials.
