Market is stabilizing but homes prices & volume are down in Silicon Valley

Posted on May 17th, 2011 in Economy | No Comments »

South Bay homebuyers returned to the sidelines in April after a brief sales boomlet in March, but there were some encouraging signs that the housing market was stabilizing, according to a report released Monday.

Right now, “buyers are absolutely in no hurry to buy,” said Cathy Warshawsky of mortgage broker Bay Area Loan, who is also treasurer of the California Association of Mortgage Professionals.

Still, there were some hints of a housing market returning to stability: Sales in each of the past three months have topped the previous month. Adjustable-rate mortgages and jumbo loans, which are key in the region’s high-priced home market, are used in an increasing percentage of home sales. And sales of bank-owned homes, a sign of a distressed housing market, are down.

La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini

Posted on May 2nd, 2011 in Opera | No Comments »

She’s a dreamer: simple, sweet, and shy. She calls herself Mimì, even though it’s not actually her name. She spends her days embroidering flowers and her nights longing for springtime. And she is very much alone and on her own. Literally in search of light – a match for her only candle – she instead finds happiness and friendship with a band of young Parisian bohemians – a handsome but insecure poet, a philosopher, a painter, a musician, and a good-time girl. Briefly, Mimì and Rodolfo make a place of love for themselves – until jealousy and poverty prevail. Eventually she succumbs to tuberculosis – the scourge of the underclass – but she is never consumed by self-pity, and she dies surrounded by those we love her.
