There are a disproportionatly high amount of Asians here at the symphony. What can be derived from this? Many things can be proposed. Is there a correllation between Asians, instrument instruction and interest, grades, occupations they apply for. Oh. I realized that because I do not know anything about someone there are only a few things I can immediately observe and derive my perception of the world from. so this is limited in its accuracy. Asians to me include, in order I think of... Chinese, Japanese, [though for a long time Japaneese was more prominant in my mind, probably because of increased exposure to Japaneese themed media- WWII, Samaurai films, maybe more. But I grew up with little exposure the Chinese culture, seperate from Japanese culture. The popular response by caucasian Children in my childhood was "the only difference is the way their eyes look... And no kid knew which
way to pull the sides of their eyes, up or down.

I keep thinking that things are lost between the discoverer, the learner then teacher and the relearner. The obvious way to fix this is to have everyone learn everything themselves... But this would take too much time. Currently the solutions are presented in facts to learn. The learner can not understand why the rules are the way they are then to improve them. But they don't need to, in general, efficiant systems are discovered, and people are hired to follow the policies deemed best at the time of implementation. Action produces results. Improvement without action leaves you with a well set up company with few results. A company that takes action, even if it is not efficiantly run, will obviously do better than a company that is well set up and constatly has everyone improving it but few resources to taking action. So take action until a significant improvement is proposed that will
accomplish the objectives by... The 30% or so because it is not efficiant to relearn and reorganize

I get enjoyment out of understanding, learning, and being able to ask questions for things I feel uncomfortable assuming [but may already "know"] as well as new info, how things work, what policies are in place, why are they in place, how could the policies be improved? Would a chamge in policy change something else or hurt some other area of operation, how resistant to change is the current staff? Would improvements improve things or add confusion and then need to be replaced by something even more efficiant later on? Ooooh. This may be why improvements are not done unless they potentially increase efficiancy by a significant amount, 30% I think I read in a text book, but an explanation was not given.

Not yet formed or known. " don't know what to expect." so it is harder to disappoint people. Satisfaction = expectations - Delivered performance. so if there are no expectations, the initial introduction should be satisfying. However, soon after the expectations must be maintained and exceeded to prevent/ slow/ compete with competitors that arise. They may be from an expanding unrelated company or a start up.

I asked the similarly aged person next to me, a stuent with a violin he had in front of him, if the person whose bio he was reading was playing because I didn't see her. I am becoming more shortsighted but I can make out enough to narrow this black haired violin player to two I saw, but neither was first chair... Well my assumption was that first chair was closest to the conductor. Then I realized that many, perhaps most or all of the instrumentalists had a bio in the playbill. Bad assumption on my part. In the past, I'd thought that only guests or the top performers got bios in the playbill. this is actually only based off of STL symphony, but since that has been my primary exposure, I make assumptions off that precidence. This is probably true for most infrequent .."things" be it type of products, performanses, experiences... like the circus. so, fist exposures to something new set
precidences. This can be good if starting a company with a new purpose or title as expectations are

I would guess this place seats 1600 and 1000 are here for the rehersal. Yes, i do this for fun. I love guessing prices, revenues, expenses, factoring in errors. At $16,500 in ticket sales figuring some people bought online, but not many, this rehersal is bringing some cash in. But the added expense of security and staff for this event may take 60% of that. Perhaps the paid rehersals are done to keep the young poor enthusiasts apart from the wealthy who expect a certain atmosphere which allows for seats to be sold for 5 times more. Segment the markeT And charge different prices. If you are here for the music, get a CD. People come to watch the people that play, thei conductor's movements. Bragging right, feelings of accomplishment during their time in NYC.

Just sitting with a pen and paper listening to the symphony made mw think abot things I had heard regarding the increased lifespan of conductors and explanations, pole acrobatics, then visualizing that made me think of one of the few episodes of the George Lopez show with a guest star and a pole and how they collapse.

26 is safe but infrequent-quick- goes down residential instead of businesses like the 27. Both end up at the 7 train. 7 train was made to take people to the world's fair. It is used to take us to Times Square.

Did Patrick swayze's death impact sales of his christmas movie like Michael Jackson's works did? Is it bad to have a seasonal movie if it isn't designed to become a classic?

Dough, form. Refrigerate for a day. Then boil them for a while. [not sure how long] Then bake them in an oven. Then add toppings. Sell for About $.50 a bagel when bought by the dozen. Cream cheese here starts as plain and stuff is mixed in. Lox, a fish Jewish people here in New York like, is mixed with the cream cheese and an 85% cream cheese price premium.

It makes me think about or wonder if it is a good idea to buy a house anticipating rising or steady real estate values, taking out a long payment period (is 30 years the standard or the longest allowable period of time companies offer?) and paying as close to interest only for the few years someone / I live in the place, then sell it for about the same or more that it was bought for- in order to have an inexpensive way of living somewhere. How much does it cost to list and pay for closing fees?

I see some people that do not look like they make much money in this complex, young
11005 - a zip code made of townhouse like- co-operatives with 1600 apartments (over 3000 people) where people buy their apartments in the complex for about $250,000 for a 2 room suite with kitcken and shower and spend about $13,000 in taxes and maintenance fees each year. The mortgage is probably $3,600 a month for a 30 year meaning you need to make.... Yeah, welcome to New York. politicans lobby at this complex.

Ok I asked if we could get a liter of aloe vera juice for $2.50. I do spend money on novel things sometimes. I think life is about the experiences you have. Routine things get boring for me at this time of my life, at least in theory. School is kind of routine, but I make it interesting by going to the sponatious events and commedians on campus.

Gamestop in New York was crazy busy. My brother was exchanging some games [for full value since he had played and beaten them in about 8 days]. It made me think about the length a game a manufacturer would design a game to be able to be beaten in as to not run into the buy and return/exchange thing my brother, and undoubtably other people, did/do.
