In the week where the S&P 500 is likely to reach a new record high, the market started with a dud on Monday. S&P 500 fell 6 basis points, Nasdaq fell 0.10% and Russell 2000 fell 0.36%. VIX increased 2.58% to 12.32 which is still extremely low. Somehow this small decline in stocks pushed the CNN fear and greed index down 6 points from 74 to 68.
Perhaps it fell because the market needs heightened near term momentum to drive the index to the extreme greed category. Junk bond demand is bringing this index down as it is in the fear grouping. The junk bond spread over investment grade debt is 1.73%.
Since March the spread has increased; although it as fallen in the past 2 weeks. Because the VIX is reviewed in relation to its 50 day moving average, it is in the neutral category even though on a historical basis, the VIX is very low.
On Monday, most sectors fell. The 2 biggest winners were consumer staples and healthcare as they increased 0.69% and 0.34%. Finally, healthcare outperformed; it has been having a terrible year.
It is only up 5.83% which is much below the S&P 500's increase of 15.93%. The 2 worst sectors were the financials and real estate as they fell 0.62% and 0.6%.
After soaring 4.69% on earnings on Friday, JP Morgan stock fell 1.14% on Monday. JP Morgan had a great earnings report as EPS was $2.65 which beat estimates by 30 cents. Profits were up 5% year over year to $9.18 billion. Revenue was up 5% to $29.9 billion which beat estimates by $1.5 billion.
Net interest income increased 8% because of higher rates. That's interesting because in the past few months rates have cratered. The increase in net interest income was seen in the retail segment as profits increased 19% to $3.96 billion.
JP Morgan - So much for the recession the bears have been calling for in the past 6 months.
Citigroup stock fell 6 basis points on Monday as it reported an EPS beat and a revenue miss. While Citigroup stock outperformed the financial sector and JP Morgan on Monday, it underperformed JP Morgan on Friday as its stock increased 2.29%. No bank can compare to the gold standard that is JP Morgan.
Specifically, Citigroup reported $1.87 in EPS which beat estimates by 7 cents. Revenues were $18.576 billion which missed estimates for $18.634 billion. The firm's net interest margin increased 1 basis point to 2.72%. Fixed income, currencies, and commodities trading revenue beat estimates for $3.05 billion as they came in at $3.452 billion.
Equities trading missed estimates for $930 million, coming in at $842 million. Finally, investment banking revenue of $1.354 billion beat estimates for $1.2 billion.
Earnings season is the biggest catalyst for stocks in the next 4-6 weeks. As you can see from the table below, stocks have gotten much more expensive in the past few months. That's what happens when earnings fall and stocks increase rapidly.
Stocks were a huge buy on January 1st, 2019 as the S&P 500's forward PE ratio was only 13.92. You could only justify that valuation if a recession was coming or if interest rates were headed much higher. Neither were the case as the economy is likely growing between a 1.5% and 2% annualized pace in Q1 and interest rates have collapsed.
The value proposition for stocks is much worse now that the S&P 500's forward PE ratio is at 16.7. You're paying for the knowledge that the economy isn't headed for a recession, interest rates have fallen, and the Fed is pausing rate hikes. The Fed's next meeting is in 15 days; the chances of a cut this year are only 37.5%.
When I say you're paying for knowledge, I'm presenting the point that uncertainty pushes stocks lower. When aspects of monetary policy, markets, and the economy become clearer, it makes sense to have higher multiples. That being said, when you buy stocks at 16.7 times forward earnings, you're betting that estimates are beaten resoundingly, estimates move higher, or that multiples move up. I don't see the multiple moving up much and I don't see estimates rising. Bulls need Q1 earnings season to be great.
So far, earnings season has been good because firms are beating estimates by more than the 3 year average. Plus, Q2 estimates have been falling much slower than Q1 estimates fell last quarter. 15 of the first firms 29 to report results have had their estimates cut on average by 2.82% afterwards.
As you can see from the table below, Q1 EPS is down 1.24% yearly. That's not much. Earnings fell much worse in the last earnings recession and stocks never fell 20%. Q2 estimates fell from 5% growth at the start of the year to 2.33% on March 1st.
The decline has been modest lately as estimates have fallen from 2.04% on April 1st to 1.79% growth as of April 15th. Q4 estimates are still very high because Q4 2018 had the lowest growth of the year. It will be interesting to see if that optimism keeps up. I could see high single digit earnings growth reached if the economy recovers by the end of 2019 like the ECRI leading index suggests.
The rally to start the year was based on multiple expansion. For stocks to rally in the rest of the year, estimates need to be beaten and solid guidance needs to be provided.
So far, this earnings season has been solid. Both Citigroup and JP Morgan beat estimates, but only the latter beat sales estimates.


Stranded in Mexico with service "temporarily suspended"
I'm traveling alone in Mexico. Everything was fine, but now I'm suddenly stranded with no phone service. I added the $5/month T-Mobile told me to add before I left the U.S. and everything was fine. Online, T-Mobile says, Need help? Call us. Right. No Internet chat. No email address for help. Just call us. How do I contact T-Mobile for help from Mexico? My monthly autopay is fine. I checked. Any suggestions?

Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation - Volume 2, issue 3
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, a peer-reviewed international scientific journal, serves as an aid to understanding the flow properties of blood and the relationship to normal and abnormal physiology. The rapidly expanding science of hemorheology concerns blood, its components and the blood vessels with which blood interacts. It includes perihemorheology, i.e., the rheology of fluid and structures in the perivascular and interstitial spaces as well as the lymphatic system. The clinical aspects include pathogenesis, symptomatology and diagnostic methods, and the fields of prophylaxis and therapy in all branches of medicine and surgery, pharmacology and drug research.
The endeavour of the Editors-in-Chief and publishers of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation is to bring together contributions from those working in various fields related to blood flow all over the world. The editors of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation are from those countries in Europe, Asia, Australia and America where appreciable work in clinical hemorheology and microcirculation is being carried out. Each editor takes responsibility to decide on the acceptance of a manuscript. He is required to have the manuscript appraised by two referees and may be one of them himself. The executive editorial office, to which the manuscripts have been submitted, is responsible for rapid handling of the reviewing process.
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation accepts original papers, brief communications, mini-reports and letters to the Editors-in-Chief. Review articles, providing general views and new insights into related subjects, are regularly invited by the Editors-in-Chief. Proceedings of international and national conferences on clinical hemorheology (in original form or as abstracts) complete the range of editorial features.
The following professionals and institutions will benefit most from subscribing to Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation: medical practitioners in all fields including hematology, cardiology, geriatrics, angiology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, otology, and neurology. Pharmacologists, clinical laboratories, blood transfusion centres, manufacturing firms producing diagnostic instruments, and the pharmaceutical industry will also benefit.
Important new topics will increasingly claim more pages of Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation: the role of hemorheological and microcirculatory disturbances for epidemiology and prognosis, in particular regarding cardiovascular disorders, as well as its significance in the field of geriatrics. Authors and readers are invited to contact the editors for specific information or to make suggestions.

On changes in aggregation of red cells, blood viscosity and plasma viscosity during normal gestation
Authors: Dintenfass, L.
Abstract: Haemorheological factors (blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, aggregation of red cells, rigidity of red cells) and biochemical factors (fibrinogen, albumin, cholesterol) were studied in 32 healthy women during normal pregnancies. Plasma viscosity was low, but increased with progress of gestation. Aggregation of red cells was very high, and fibrinogen was increased, while both parameters increased significantly with gestation time. Haematocrit and blood viscosity (measured at shear rate of 180 sec−1 ) decreased during the first half of pregnancy, but increased progressively during the second half of pregnancy. Some viscosity factors during the last weeks of gestation were not only significantly …higher than the normal values, but were significantly increased above the values observed during the earlier stages of pregnancy. In particular, during the last four weeks of gestation the values for aggregation of red cells were 252 ± 54 mm/hr, and for fibrinogen 423 ± 80 mg%. Thus, at least during the last stages of pregnancy, there existed a state of hyperviscosity. The following aspects are covered in discussion: inter-relation between blood pressure and blood viscosity, the role of increased blood volume, possible presence of a vasodilator substance counteracting effects of hyperviscosity, possible effect of hyperviscosity on foetus development, malformation, etc. Show more

Effects of long-term treatment with isoxsuprine on the blood viscosity profile in maturity-onset diabetics
Authors: Bode, W.A. | Fonk, T. | van der Veen, E.A. | van der Meer, J.
Abstract: A study was performed in fifteen patients with maturity-onset diabetes who had decreased erythrocyte flexibility as compared to controls. The patients were treated with isoxsuprine during 3 months. After this period only a reduction of blood viscosity at haematocrit 0.80 was found, indicating improved red cell flexibility. This might be explained by production of larger and more flexible erythrocytes.
Keywords: Blood viscosity, Erythrocyte flexibility, Diabetes mellitus, isoxsuprine therapy
Increased cerebral blood flow after plasma-exchange in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia
Authors: Postiglione, A. | Soricelli, A. | Scarpato, N. | Lamenza, F. | Mancini, M.
Abstract: Cerebral blood flow was measured in four patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (three with homozygous and one with heterozygous genotype) before and long after Plasma-Exchange by isotopic technique. Plasma cholesterol dropped by 30% one day after Plasma-Exchange and was still reduced by 27% after one week. Plasma fibrinogen and globulin concentrations were decreased respectively by 36% and 26% after Plasma-Exchange,but returned to pretreatment values within few days. No change was observed in haematocrit. Mean Transit Time (M.T.T.) of both common and internal carotides improved respectively from 39.2±11 and 34.9±10 seconds (M±S.E.) to 33.8±8 (p<0.001) and to 29.5±5 (p<0.001) after Plasma-Exchange and …were still 35.4±8 (p<0.02) and 30.3±8 (p <0.01) one week after Plasma-Exchange. It is concluded that Plasma-Exchange in patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia beneficially improves cerebral blood flow. Show more

Blood filtration in patients with peripheral vascular disease
Authors: Winkenwerder, William | Adams, Kirkwood | Lineberger, Thomas | Johnson Jr., George
Abstract: Erythrocytes must undergo considerable deformation to pass through the capillaries of the microcirculation. A decrease in the deformability of these cells could be especially detrimental to the patient with peripheral vascular disease (PVD). Experiments were designed to separate the filtration abnormalities of plasma versus the red cell in PVD patients. Polycarbonate filters 25 mm in diameter with 3 or 5 micron pores and a high porosity (4 × 105 ) were used. To study the effects of red cells without plasma, they were suspended in a sodium chloride tris buffer at a hematocrit of 0.5%. The filtrate was passed using …only gravity and the results reported as the time in seconds for one milliliter to pass through the filter (FT). Forty-three PVD patients and 34 controls were studied. Suspensions of red cells in their native plasma at an hematocrit of 3.2% were studied to assess the influence of plasma factors. Matched blood types of patients and controls were also used in mixing studies on plasma and red cells. There was a small but significant increase in the FT of the PVD patient's RBC. However, acellular plasma of these patients showed marked prolongation of filtration time which could account for all of the changes found in whole blood. In the mixing studies the PVD plasma had a prolonged FT and the plasma from the control patients had a normal FT regardless of which red cells were being studied. Although the PVD patient's RBC may have a slightly prolonged FT, studies of acellular plasma and mixed samples demonstrate that the plasma is the main cause of the prolonged whole blood FT in the patient with PVD.

Blood viscosity at a low shear rate in normal and abnormal pregnancies
Authors: Kaibara, Manabu | Marumoto, Yuriko | Taniguchi, Ichiro | Kobayashi, Takuro
Abstract: Blood viscosity and corrected blood viscosity (viscosity of blood corrected to hematocrit of 45 %) were measured at a shear rate of 0.5 sec−1 in 85 normal, 20 mild pre-eclamptic, 15 severe pre-eclamptic and 10 diabetic (class A) pregnants. Viscosity in normal pregnancy decreased in the second trimester and increased in the third trimester. Corrected viscosity increased in the second trimester and its increased level persisted until the last of pregnancy. The mean levels of viscosity and corrected viscosity in the third trimester did not change in mild pre-eclampsia, but were significantly increased in severe pre-eclampsia as compared with …that of normal pregnancy. In diabetic pregnancy viscosity was not significantly different but corrected viscosity was significantly higher than that of normal one. These findings are in keeping with an increased tendency of forming red cell aggregates in severe pre-eclampsia and diabetic pregnancy and may suggest possible disturbance of microcirculation in low flow state under such abnormal pregnancies.

Effect of vinca alkaloids on human erythrocyte aggregation
Authors: Sabio, Hernan
Abstract: The relative effects of three vinca alkaloids on the erythrocyte surface were assessed by evaluating erythrocyte aggregation. The time required for aggregation and the rate of sedimentation of formed aggregates was quantitated in systems utilizing Dextran, polybrene, and an antibody as the aggregation inducers. Vinca alkaloid inhibition of erythrocyte aggregation was demonstrated which appears to be concentration dependent. Vinblastine was more inhibitory than Vindesine or Vincristine. Scanning electron microscopy suggests that decreased deformability is a factor in vinca alkaloid inhibition of erythrocyte aggregation.
Keywords: Erythrocyte, aggregation, vinca alkaloid, vincristine, vinblastine, vindesine
Nonuniform effects of sympathetic nerve and α-receptor blockade on internal diameter of small arteries in the rabbit ear
Authors: Hirata, Shunji | Ninomiya, Ishio
Abstract: The internal diameter (10) of small arteries, which play an important role as resistance vessels, is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. We studied effects of cervical sympathetic nerve section, electrical stimulation of this nerve and a-receptor blockade (phentolamine, iv) on 10 of central artery (CA) and marginal artery (MA) of the rabbit ear. Serial measurements of ID's of CA and MA were made on angiograms of 13 anesthetized rabbits in a length of about 150 and 120 mm, respectively. Under the control condition, i.e., sympathetic nerve was intact, 10 tapered steeply at the proximal portion of both arteries. With …sympathetic nerve section, all sites of CA and MA were dilated above the control level. Particularly, 10 increased significantly about 4 times in CA at 50 mm and 3 times in MA at 40 mm from the bifurcation of both arteries. with 2 Hz electrical stimulation of the peripheral cut end of sympathetic nerve, CA and MA constricted nearly to the control levels in almost entire length. The relative magnitude of vasoconstriction was larger in CA than MA. When α -receptor blockade was administered following the sympathetic nerve section, further dilatation of 10 occurred in all sites of CA. This dilatation by α -receptor blockade was significantly dominant in the distal half of CA. From above results, we concluded that the sympathetic and humoral control in ID is nonuniform not only between CA and MA but also within each of these small arteries in the rabbit ear. Show more

15 out of 100 people with COVID-19 in Singapore are infected before: Ong Ye Kung
If reinfection rate hits 50 per cent, Singapore will be in for another COVID-19 wave, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.

11 Oct 2022 01:00PM (Updated: 12 Oct 2022 10:34AM)
SINGAPORE: Fifteen out of 100 people who caught COVID-19 have been reinfected, and another wave could be around the corner if this number climbs.
Giving the figures on Monday (Oct 10) night, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said the likelihood of a big wave depends on the reinfection rate.
"As of now, reinfection rate is about 15 per cent, meaning out of 100 people who are infected, 15 are getting it for the second time. If you start to see 50 per cent getting it a second time, you're going to have a wave," he said during the Yale-NUS College President's Speaker Series of public lectures.
More than 4,000 cases were reported on Sunday and Monday. And with Tuesday being the most dreaded day of the week, cases could double today, noted Mr Ong.
"You may have 9,000, 10,000 cases, usually it's double that of the day before. So hospitals will get busier, healthcare workers will come under strain and we will have to support them as much as we can. But we'll have to try our best with the current rules (to) ride through this," he said.
Case numbers usually spike on Tuesday due to people socialising over the weekend.
Mr Ong pointed out that Singapore was able to ride through each wave of infection and yet continue plans to open up the country. The current case numbers are due to Singapore being "in the middle" of this phase of reopening.
"Because each time we open up and we ride through a wave, whoever falls sick do appear at the hospital. We are in the middle of that," he said.
Rumours about large increase in severe COVID-19 cases and deaths due to XBB strain 'not true': MOH
Bivalent Moderna COVID-19 vaccine available in Singapore Oct 14, three days ahead of schedule
GETTING RID OF RULES A "TURNING POINT"
Recounting his experience of handling the COVID-19 pandemic as the co-chair of the multi-ministry task force, Mr Ong recalled one of the "few big moves" that the task force made was the decision to live with the virus.
"Delta wave was raging ... Then we did something, which when I look back, was a bit decisive. ... We decided let's press the reset button. Get rid of all (the rules) overnight and just have three rules, and that's the Protocol 1-2-3. ... Which means we did away with quarantine overnight. 40,000 people in quarantine were released from their home," he said.
"Did we know that what we did was absolutely right and will the release of people in quarantine lead to an even bigger wave? Did we know that at that point in time? Not totally. But looking at the data, it was a risk that I think was worth taking."
Mr Ong said that with the simplified rules, individuals knew how to play their part, whereas with confusing rules, people were "just afraid".
That decision was "a big turning point", as vaccination rates went up and people knew how to take responsibility for themselves, he added.
"(By) the time (our vaccination rate) reached 80, 90 per cent, Delta wave was over. We started to open after that. Rest is history."

Student mulls life after graduation
Jason Dobbins|April 2, 2002
Life after graduation did not turn out quite how Angel Chichester had imagined. The 2001 Northern Kentucky University graduate is currently settling into her new apartment in Louisville, continuing her search for a job in advertisement, paying back student loans and has just given birth to a baby boy last Thursday.
"At the time I found out I was pregnant, according to my post college plan that I had wrote down, I would have already had a job," Chichester said. "In my life book, I put graduation May 12, working at advertising agency by the end of summer."
But things don't always happned the way we plan. The 23-year-old currently works as a Bankruptcy Specialist at Providian Bank. A job she only accepted as a means to pay her bills, she said. Meanwhile, she continues her intermittent pursuit for an entry-level position at an advertising firm and begin her long sought out career, an indeavor that began months before her graduation. So far, no luck.
"When I first graduated, I had approximately six interviews within two months, maybe a little bit more. After that, I started working at Providian."
When she called back the buisnesses that interviewed her, she received the unfortunate news that they had already filled the positions.
"So then I ended up interviewing again maybe two or three more times, then the Sept.11 thing happened and I tried to make phone calls but nobody was really doing anything at that time. So I waited till the new year started. And since then, I had one."
Other than the fact that Providian provides her with a source of income, Chichester said she really doesn't appreciate the job that much and has even fallen asleep on several occasions. She also said that NKU has prepared her to handle jobs that are much more challenging than the one she has now.
"I feel like I know more than the mangers do. They tell us [employees] some stuff and it just sounds stupid. But I can't even get that job because I would need a certain amount of managerial experience, which I don't have."
In addition to being a member of various student organizations during her stay at NKU, Chichester also worked as the Program Coordinator at the Student Life Office, which allowed her to become involved in virtually every major event on campus. However, all of her participation in university activities didn't add up to the expereinces that a person receives during an internship in their feild of study.
"Had I co-oped or interned in an actual advertising agency, as I was trying to get one, it would've taken off that year that most people require for experience," She said. "Upon graduation, I feel that I would've had a better opportunity to at least go back to that particular firm."
To add to her concerns, the six-month grace period on her student loans ended in November.
"I can't really pay for the bill because I don't make the amount of money that I was hoping to make by now. But they [the student loan agency] don't care," said Chichester. "They'll give you some kind of deferment but that really doesn't do anything but stretch out the process, which would give you more interest, which in turn makes the debt higher. Oh God I hate that!"
But it will take more than these recent ordeals to break her will to succeed. Dr. Russel Procter, a professor of Speech Cummication and one of Chichester's teachers, described Angel as "someone who decides what she wants and goes after it, and doesn't let anything stand in her way."
Danniell Richardson, a senior and one of Chichester's friends said, "She always has a smile on her face when you see her and she's always there when you need someone to talk to," said Richardson. "When she has a goal in mind, she usually accomplishes it."
Greg Walker, a senior who knows Chichester said, " You rarely see her in a bad mood. She's just an overall good person." He also said that "She's a little too hyper sometimes. Some days when you want to chill, she's always revved-up, always going."
In addition to her true friends, Chichester also has the loving support of her family. A factor that has helped her stay optimistic, she said.
"I try not to be discouraged. I think discouragement will hit anybody if you lay down a plan and your plan has not yet taken place," she said. "I know that something is out there. I have the faith that something is out there."
Her original plans have not changed, she said. They're just a little altered.
"Within six years I know, I have the faith in God that I'm going to be out of Louisville, married, working in a large firm and having some type of a successful career path," she said. "I know what I want and I'm going for it."
"Becuse a lot of the people there do not have the higher education, getting paid whatever an hour, they're happy with it because they feel it's a lot. Some places you can get seven dollars an hour, where as Providian you can get $11 and $12 an hour. That's not satisfactory for me seeing that I have an education and have been trained in something on a better level than that." "There's no hope for growth there."
"I have come across a lot more focus on what is included on my resume'. Meaning that, I was active in school outside of just going to class. So I was able to have a co-op at the Student Life office. I was also able to hold various positions in different types of organizations, giving me experience on that level, also showing them that I'm able to do many tasks. They look more at that rather than asking me or inquiring what my GPA was. And I'm assuming that is because I was so active in many things and I have picked up the experience as far as communication experience and working experience and handling different tasks.
"That particular fact, that I have graduated from NKU, has kept me more local. If I'm going to UK, for instance, how many people in the nation know about UK? Therefore I feel that had I gone to UK, maybe I would've had a better chance outside the Kentucky/Cincinnati area. I've chosen to keep myself local for that reason, because it's hard work now with it just being local. So I know that going somewhere in another state, where they have no idea what a Northerner is, it would be harder because I would be competing with people from bigger universities out there."
"I believe that the resume' and the work on the resume' show what you're willing to do regardless of what school you went to."
"I had a class where I had to do stuff on computers. And whether being president, treasurer, secretary of a certain organization, I was able to use that software in that position, so I'm able to say hey I had the class and, in these organizations, I put that work to use outside of this regular class work."
"Interviews are tricky. ____________ And then when you get that call or you call to find out what happened, they say they hired someone else. Only thing I can think of, they just found somebody better. But, in my mind, I'm like, how, when they seemed to like me at the interview. In the discussions I didn't see any bad facial expressions or when I told them what I can do as far as software was concerned, they where impressed, because half the time they couldn't do it. It makes you reevaluate, well what did you do wrong."
"Some people who have been there for 30 years have never been in an organization, if they have, what have they done in that organization? The person interviewing them is going to ask, you where in Black Women's Organization, what did you do? You were a member for this organization for eight years, what did you do? And you never lead any type of program, committee or anything like that. So then, you're there for seven years doing what other than going to class and socializing?" Suddenly, "As long as you live under my roof" becomes a factor again. She is no longer only accountable for herse
lf. "You can't stay out till two and three o'clock in the morning anymore, thinking that I have to be at work at seven or eight, and if I'm tired I'll just call in or just won't show up. You can't do that. Depending on how you handled your work at school, your responsibility either jumps on you or you've already prepared yourself for it."
"That's basically the largest thing, less free time to just 'kick-it' and play cards and drink or do whatever you want to do. People can try it when they first get out and into starting their job but, it will be hard, it won't last long."
"She knows that I was not out just doing nothing. It's not like I quit school and came back and lived with my mom and I'm all of a sudden a scrub because I'm living with my mother. I was doing something with my life. I wasn't just out on the streets.
"If I have a job opportunity today, within in a year, I will be getting my first promotion at that job. …and being happy with what I'm doing rather than waiting a year and being miserable at a job I despise and I'm only there for because I have to have money.
"I am going to have a job, and if someone offers me a job, I'm taking it because it's better than where I'm at and I will be happy. Therefore, I will be happier to live my child in daycare and pick my child up on a daily routine than doing that at Providian. I can live a happier more fulfilling life. "I refuse to be one of those people stuck at a job and unhappy."
"Within 6 years I know, I have the faith in God that I'm going to be out of Louisville, married, working in a large firm and having some type of a successful career path."

How Did Such Great Sounding Records Get Made with Such Bad Equipment?

Product DetailTrack ListingAMG ReviewAlbum Background
SONIC GRADE: (?)
VINYL PLAYGRADE:(?)
Side one: Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus
Side two: Mint Minus to Mint Minus Minus
I wish more Blue Note records had this kind of sound -- natural, full-bodied, and sweet up top. The bass here is well-defined with real weight and lots of punch. Monk's piano sounds correct from the highest notes all the way down to the lower register, and the sax sounds tonally right on the money. The clarity and transparency are superb throughout.
This Columbia 360 pressing has the kind of Tubey Magical Midrange that modern records rarely even BEGIN to reproduce. Folks, that sound is gone and it sure isn't showing signs of coming back. If you love hearing INTO a recording, actually being able to "see" the performers, and feeling as if you are sitting in the studio with the band, this is the record for you. It's what vintage all analog recordings are known for -- this sound.
If you exclusively play modern repressings of vintage recordings, I can say without fear of contradiction that you have never heard this kind of sound on vinyl. Old records have it -- not often, and certainly not always -- but maybe one out of a hundred new records do, and those are some pretty long odds.
What the best sides of Criss-Cross have to offer is not hard to hear:
The biggest, most immediate staging in the largest acoustic space
The most Tubey Magic, without which you have almost nothing. CDs give you clean and clear. Only the best vintage vinyl pressings offer the kind of Tubey Magic that was on the tapes in 1963
Tight, note-like, rich, full-bodied bass, with the correct amount of weight down low
Natural tonality in the midrange -- with all the instruments having the correct timbre
Transparency and resolution, critical to hearing into the three-dimensional space of the studio
No doubt there's more but we hope that should do for now. Playing the record is the only way to hear all of the qualities we discuss above, and playing the best pressings against a pile of other copies under rigorously controlled conditions is the only way to find a pressing that sounds as good as this one does.
The Piano Is Key
The copies of the album with a piano that sounded lean or hard always ended up having problems with the other instruments as well. (This should not be surprising; the piano was designed to be the single instrument most capable of reproducing the sound of an entire orchestra.)
If you have big, full-range speakers one of the qualities you may recognize in the sound of the piano is WARMTH. The piano is not hard, brittle or tinkly. Instead the best copies show you a wonderfully full-bodied, rich, smooth piano, one which sounds remarkably like the ones we've all heard countless times in piano bars and restaurants.
In other words like a real piano, not a recorded one. Bad mastering can ruin the sound, and often does, along with worn out stampers and bad vinyl and five gram needles that scrape off the high frequencies. But a few -- a very few -- copies survive all such hazards. They manage to capture these wonderful musical performances on vinyl, showing us the sound we never expected to hear.
What We're Listening For on Criss-Cross
Energy for starters. What could be more important than the life of the music?
The Big Sound comes next -- wall to wall, lots of depth, huge space, three-dimensionality, all that sort of thing.
Then transient information -- fast, clear, sharp attacks, not the smear and thickness common to most LPs.
Tight, note-like bass with clear fingering -- which ties in with good transient information, as well as the issue of frequency extension further down.
Next: transparency -- the quality that allows you to hear deep into the soundfield, showing you the space and air around all the players.
Then: presence and immediacy. The musicians aren't "back there" somewhere, way behind the speakers. They're front and center where any recording engineer worth his salt would have put them.
Extend the top and bottom and voila, you have The Real Thing -- an honest to goodness Hot Stamper.
Mint Minus Minus is about as quiet as any vintage pressing will play, and since only the right vintage pressings have any hope of sounding good on this album, that will most often be the playing condition of the copies we sell. (The copies that are even a bit noisier get listed on the site are seriously reduced prices or traded back in to the local record stores we shop at.)
Those of you looking for quiet vinyl will have to settle for the sound of later pressings and Heavy Vinyl reissues, purchased elsewhere of course as we have no interest in selling records that don't have the vintage analog magic that is a key part of the appeal of these wonderful recordings.
If you want to make the trade-off between bad sound and quiet surfaces with whatever Heavy Vinyl pressing might be available, well, that's certainly your prerogative, but we can't imagine losing what's good about this music -- the size, the energy, the presence, the clarity, the weight -- just to hear it with less background noise.
Eronel
Don't Blame Me
Crepuscule With Nellie
AMG 4 Star Review
Criss-Cross — Thelonious Monk's second album for Columbia Records — features some of the finest work that Monk ever did in the studio with his '60s trio and quartet. Whether revisiting pop standards or reinventing Monk's own classic compositions, Monk and Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), John Ore (bass), and Frankie Dunlop (drums) exchange powerful musical ideas, as well as provide potent solos throughout the disc.
Fittingly, "Hackensack" — a frenetic original composition — opens the disc by demonstrating the bandleader's strength in a quartet environment. The solid rhythmic support of the trio unfetters Monk into unleashing endless cascades of percussive inflections and intoxicating chord progressions. The title cut also reflects the ability of the four musicians to maintain melodic intricacies that are at times so exigent it seems cruel that Monk would have expected a musician of any caliber to pull them off...
This is prime Monk for any degree of listener.
Monk was known for his uniquely playful jazz style that centered on playing notes that did not always correspond to the particular chord or key that was being played by the rest of the band. Before entering the studio to record this album, a journalist reportedly asked Monk if he would be recording a new solo rendition of the classic song "Don't Blame Me", to which he replied: "Maybe, it depends on how I feel when I get there." Monk recorded his solo version of "Don't Blame Me" right after arriving at the studio.
Criss-Cross is a swing-influenced bop album featuring complex melodies and harmonies, Monk's unique style of stride piano, and his unique ideas on pitch qualities for his improvisations. The title track, "Criss-Cross", is one of his more critically acclaimed compositions. For this recording, Monk cut out two bars from the original music in order to speed up the overall feel of the piece. It also features Monk's highly personal use of rhythmic displacement. "Eronel" is a distinctly bop tune that is fast-paced and showcases Monk's virtuousic stride-style piano playing. The track "Crepuscule with Nellie" was a piece Monk had written for his wife.

Die evangelische Dorfkirche Zagelsdorf ist eine Feldsteinkirche in Zagelsdorf, einem Ortsteil der Stadt Dahme/Mark im Landkreis Teltow-Fläming im Land Brandenburg. Die Kirchengemeinde gehört zum Kirchenkreis Zossen-Fläming der Evangelischen Kirche Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz.

Lage
Die Landstraße 71 führt von Südwesten kommend s-förmig durch den Ort und dort in nordöstlicher Richtung heraus. Die Kirche steht nordwestlich der Straße auf einem Grundstück mit einem Kirchfriedhof, der mit einem Zaun eingefriedet ist.

Geschichte
Das Brandenburgische Landesamt für Denkmalpflege und Archäologische Landesmuseum (BLDAM) gibt an, dass das Bauwerk im Kern im 14./15. Jahrhundert entstand. Der Kirchenführer des Kirchenkreises geht von einer massiven Beschädigung im Dreißigjährigen Krieg aus und verweist darauf, dass die Kirche etwa 1670/1680 auf dem Fundament des Vorgängerbaus errichtet wurde. Nach 1680 erhielt das Bauwerk einen Putz sowie hochrechteckige Fenster. Vermutlich entstand in dieser Zeit auch an der Nordseite eine Patronatsloge. Anfang der 1980er Jahre tauschte die Kirchengemeinde die Kirchenausstattung aus.

Baubeschreibung

Das Bauwerk entstand im Wesentlichen aus Feldsteinen und Mauersteinen, die als Mischmauerwerk verbaut und anschließend verputzt wurden. Der Chor ist gerade und nicht eingezogen. An der Ostwand sind zwei große und hochrechteckige Fenster, deren Form durch eine verputzte Fasche nochmals betont wird.

Das Kirchenschiff hat einen rechteckigen Grundriss. An der Nordseite ist eine Patronatsloge, die ebenfalls einen rechteckigen Grundriss aufweist. Sie kann durch eine Pforte von Westen her betreten werden; an der Nordseite ist ein Fenster. Nach Westen befindet sich an der Langwand des Schiffs ein weiteres Fenster; an der Südseite zwei. Mittig sind die Reste einer zugesetzten Priesterpforte erkennbar. Die Patronatsloge sowie das Schiff tragen ein schlichtes Satteldach.

Der querrechteckige Kirchturm ist gegenüber dem Schiff leicht eingezogen. Er kann durch eine rechteckige Pforte von Westen her betreten werden. Weitere Öffnungen sind nicht vorhanden. Im Glockengeschoss sind an der Nord- und Südseite zwei gekuppelte, an der Ost- und Westseite zwei einzelne Klangarkaden. Darüber erhebt sich ein oktogonaler Knickhelm, der mit einer Turmkugel und Kreuz abschließt.

Ausstattung
Die Kirchenausstattung wird vom BLDAM als "einfach" bezeichnet. Als Altarretabel dient eine Schriftkartusche, die auf das Jahr 1708 datiert ist und sich in einer reich geschnitzten Ornamentrahmung befindet. Die Kanzel sowie das Gestühl stammen aus der Zeit um 1680, die Fünte aus dem Jahr 1733. Auf der Westempore steht eine Orgel, der Firma Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau aus dem Jahr 1953. Das Instrument besitzt ein Manual, sechs Register und ein Pedal. Das Instrument wurde in den 1980er Jahren von der Empore ins Kirchenschiff versetzt. Die Patronatsloge ist durch eine Glasfront vom Schiff getrennt und dient im 21. Jahrhundert als Trauerhalle. Das Bauwerk ist im Innern flach gedeckt mit einer Voute am Übergang zum Dach.

Vor dem südlichen Langhaus erinnert ein Denkmal an die Gefallenen der Weltkriege. Auf dem Friedhof erinnert ein klassizistischer Grabstein an die 1832 verstorbene Maria Dorothea Scharsig. Außerdem befindet sich dort das Erbbegräbnis der Familie Pittelko bestehend aus zehn gusseisernen Grabtafeln aus der Zeit von 1849 bis 1923.

Livesport.tv, the net-based sports broadcaster, is all set to launch 50 channels on Facebook.
The London-based company that's part of the Perform Group, is set to bring live and syndicated content – including football from South American and Italian leagues, Rugby League and live boxing matches – to the social network, with punters paying to watch using Facebook Credits.
Shorter clips and interviews with Premier League players will be available to view on-demand for free. Facebook Credits, available in £10 and £20 vouchers, can be bought in Tesco and Game stores.
The idea is that when you're watching a game through a Livesport.tv channel on the Facebook app, notifications will be automatically sent out to friends to let them what you're watching and will invite them to join. Then you'll be able to chat with friends in real time.
Perform's joint chief executive Oliver Slipper, speaking to the Financial Times says that the Livesport.tv deal with Facebook is mainly about reaching out to niche audiences.
Other sports covered by Livesport.tv besides AFL football includes Fightcode and OneFC marital arts, FIH hockey and Big Bash T20 Cricket. Livesport.tv already broadcasts live 3D sports footage through LG's Cinema 3D range of Smart TV as well as regular 2D broadcasts on YouTube.
Livesport.tv's Facebook app already lets you sign up for subscriptions on 7-day, or monthly basis depending on the sport. So if you're already a subscriber you'll be able to watch on Facebook, or login through Livesport.tv's site as normal. Facebook Credits lets you watch matches or games on an on-demand basis instead of having to sign up.
We've contacted Perform Group for more information on exactly how the pricing breaks down.


The stakes have never been higher: when DNA evidence frees a sadistic killer, defense attorney Mickey Haller and LAPD Detective Harry Bosch must put him behind bars before he strikes again. Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Together, Bosch and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years. With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.

The Internet has transformed political behaviour, from voting and campaigning for policy change, to protest and even revolution. This poses a challenge to states, as political movements become more turbulent, unpredictable, and societies harder to govern. To understand this radically transformed political world, we are re-examining the models and conceptual frameworks of political science and theory, and developing social data science methodologies to understand political behaviour.

Analysing The Media Coverage About Paris Hilton
There's no doubt in mind that Paris is as famous as ever. Last week, she reached a peaking point, and all the media coverage was simply breathtaking despite the fact that it was a very negative publicity. The media almost covered it like a September 11 event, except it was filled with misunderstandings and lies. I really like the fact that many people are fascinated by Paris, but unfortunately, only for the wrong reasons.
You know, I really wish that this whole coverage was dedicated to her music album, or for a second album. Wouldn't that be amazing?
Analysing the coverage of each media network (from worse to "OK")
FOX News: They did the most aggressive and arrogant coverage. Of course, FOX is massively bias and truly use Paris as a punch bag, and its commentators shout at each other on air. Many of them said so many stupid arguments that were irrelevant to the real Paris as we know. I always laugh and get angry at these commentators who pretend/assume to know Paris. Oh, yes, FOX never wastes its time to report the truth or to correct reports.
MSNBC: It is a joke. It is not as aggressive as FOX, but its news anchors are hateful, just not as hateful as FOX' anchors, but still are. The commentators, on the other hand, are very bias 75% of the time, and refuse to talk about real issues. All the commentators are just as clueless as FOX' ones. Altogether, all their arguments are based on assumptions. I think what distinguishes MSNBC to FOX News is that MSNBC is less insulting and aggressive than FOX News is.
CNN: The news anchors of CNN are completely clueless about Paris, and I'm very serious about this. They take her as a complete joke. I would say that their program "Showbizz" produces the most hateful coverages about Paris. It is horrifying, especially with all its lies and exaggerations. But it's good to know that its poison hasn't totally spread to CNN network. It's not as bad as MSNBC and FOX News.
CBS: It is probably the lest hateful, but still hateful! They hire a lot of bias commentators. News anchors are extremely bias in some cases and really don't know Paris. But the good thing about CBS is that the clips they produce that are not so bad. The news anchors of their mini-news programs are not aggressive and don't throw their hateful opinion out in the air like FOX and MSNBC's anchors do. In most cases, they even like Paris or don't take positions.
ABC: I don't know, and I don't think they cover a lot about Paris. However, we know Barbara Walters is very interested in Paris.
When Paris comes out of prison, she should never consider doing an interview for FOX or MSNBC or even CNN for a while, just for a while. She should go straight to ABC's Barbara Walters and do an interview in which she could explain everything. This would be a perfect time for her to explain every misunderstanding and show us how she plans to renew herself.
Most importantly, Paris should use all of this negative publicity and convert it into something meaningful. By proving to the world that she has "changed," she could release another album, and finally, people will pay attention to her. Because remember, people pretend not like Paris' music only because they don't like her. So imagine what would happen if she somehow changed and people started liking her.
I've seen a tiny transformation, but she needs to work on it after she's out of jail. Let's just cross our fingers and hope that Paris is wise enough to consider using this opportunity in a serious way.

On the Colbert Report this Tuesday they showed a clip MSNBC from June 8, 2007 when the anchor Contessa had Tommy Chong, of Cheech and Chong fame, as a guest commentator. He put her to shame and made her look like a fool for her biased reporting. Is it possible that you or anyone can find and post it. I really would like to see her squirm as she deserves. She and those biased anchors are a disgrace to the profession off journalism and I wish some news organization does a story on them and exposes their total disregard and disrespect for the standards journalism stands for; but maybe the have no ethics or standards.
If anyone can find the clip please post it.


An extra day of practice at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Thursday may have resulted in an extra day of discovery for some Sprint Cup drivers, but for Greg Biffle of Roush Fenway Racing, the test produced an extra day of frustration.
It's always been tough to slot Kevin Harvick during discussions about driving talent. By the end of the 2014 Sprint Cup season – 2015 at the latest – that process will become easier.
Kevin Harvick, fast all week in practices, was fast on race day as well as he notched a dominating win in Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Phoenix International Raceway.
When it comes to racing machinery, there are very few inconsequential changes. Virtually all have the ability to produce or reduce speed – and, hence, finishing positions in races – depending on how teams and drivers deal with the changes.
Brad Keselowski won the first Sprint Cup pole utilizing NASCAR's "Knockout Qualifying" Friday night at Phoenix International Raceway.
His Team Penske teammate, Joey Logano, was second fastest in the segmented qualifier.
Keselowski completed a lap at 139.384 mph, breaking the record of 139.222 mph set by Jimmie Johnson before last year's Chase race in November.
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Knock, knock.
Until last season, when he made the NASCAR Chase playoff for the first time following four so-so seasons, Logano had been on the outside looking in, someone trying to knock down the door and gain entry into a small fraternity of Sprint Cup racing's elite.
Two-time Daytona 500 champion Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Victory Tour Across America includes a stop Tuesday afternoon on behalf of Texas Motor Speedway in Austin.

PVHS Volleyball Hosts Regional Tourney
Posted by Dave Maxwell | Nov 4, 2016 | Sports | 0
Pahranagat Valley High School is hosting the 1A Southern Regional volleyball tournament this weekend.
They earned the right with a 3-0 win over second place Beatty last weekend by scores 25-14, 25-12, 25-13 to gain the home court advantage. As the No. 1 and 2 seeds respectively, Pahranagat and Beatty both get byes into the semifinals in Alamo this Saturday.
Coach Ginger Whipple said she fully expects to see Beatty again in the championship match. "I would be shocked if it were otherwise. It would be one of those upsets that would shock everybody in the division." The Hornets (17-3, 6-1) were third in the league last year, but finished No. 2 this year. The two Saturday finalists will advance to the state tournament next weekend in Sparks and Reno.
Alyson Egbert, a four-year player for Pahranagat, said she feels really honored to have always played the regional tournament on her home court. "I have never travelled for regionals. I'm very excited." And she is not alone, the other veteran seniors on the team, Allyse Frehner and Madison Harris, have never traveled for regionals either.
Whipple said the matches with Beatty were somewhat close in the first set. "We were back and forth until about 13-14. Beatty did not disappoint. They are scrappers, and I expected them to do that. It was senior night for us and there was a lot of emotion and energy in the gym and on the court."
In other playoff first round matches on Wednesday this week, Indian Springs (7-7) played at Beaver Dam (8-6) and Word of Life (4-11) played at Tonopah (14-13).
On Tuesday, Pahranagat Valley and Lincoln squared off in Panaca for a regular season ending match, in effect, a tune-up for their respective league tournaments. The Panther girls won a marathon second set en route to a 25-21, 32-30, 25-12 road victory.
Karley Whipple led PVHS with 12 kills, 13 digs and three aces. Alyson Egbert added seven kills, and Madison Harris had six kills, five aces and four digs for Pahranagat Valley (19-6).
Cameron Lloyd had 17 digs, and Kendra Mathews had five kills and five blocks for the Lynx.
Lincoln (20-15) is hosting the 2A Southern Regionals on Saturday. The No. 3 seeded Lady Lynx play No. 2 The Meadows (25-9), and No. 1 Calvary Chapel (26-5) plays Agassi Prep (10-7).
In the 1A Northern regional, defending state champion Smith Valley (20-5-2), is the No. 1 seed into the Northern Regional tournament this weekend at Elko High School.
The schedule has Owyhee facing Sage Ridge (8-6), Smith Valley vs. Eureka (5-5), Virginia City (22-4) vs. Jackpot, and Wells (18-11) vs. Coleville (13-6). The two finalists advance to the state tournament No. 11-12 in Sparks and Reno.
NIAA playoff admission prices will apply.

It's been a minute since my last money diary. And it seems like I chose the perfect time to do one since it was a very expensive week. You get to see how I act when there's a sale. In other words, I don't know how to act and just charge it. I also went to two brunches on the weekend which is super rare for me since I prefer eating breakfast in my pajamas while watching something on Netflix.
Anyway, it really went down this week.
So without further rambling, let's get into it.
I have a really long day at work BUT on my train ride home I get an email that I have early access to Shopbop's buy more, save more sale. I scroll through the things I hearted and add things to my cart. I look at the total and contemplate which items to take out.
I decide to take out a trench coat I've been wanting for weeks. I just can't justify spending over $500 on a jacket I'll wear maybe 20% of the year.
I get home and finish dinner in a hurry so I can keep editing my shopping cart.
I have leftovers for lunch and realize I'm still hungry. Good thing I took the entire box of Trader Joe's peanut butter sandwich crackers with me to work. I decide to have some and leave the rest in my drawer for the rest of the week. They're so good that I can't stop eating them.
My friend texts me to meet up for a post lunch treat. I decide it's a good idea since I'm feeling sluggish.
Then it downpours and we have to take a literal rain check.
Head home and try to get more people to enter my Eyejust blue light blocking screen protector giveaway (my review here).
Have leftovers again for lunch.
Vadim texts me that our bread that we didn't even open yet, grew mold. I text him back saying I'll get some on the way home.
I get home, eat dinner, and before you know it's 9 pm. Time to pick a giveaway winner! I use a randomizer and a winner is selected.
I unwind by scrolling through Rent the Runway and contemplate on whether I should do the unlimited option again. In case you don't know what it is, it's an opportunity to rent four pieces at a time and swap out however many times throughout the month. I wrote a review here. It was really helpful when I was interviewing for jobs and didn't have anything professional enough to wear. I decide there's not enough things I'm crazy about renting so I decide not to sign up for it again.
I eat my sandwich while watching the second half of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's testimony. All I have to say is I believe her.
And then I find myself tuning back in to watch Brett Kavanaugh's side of things. I am perplexed by his anger, his sniffling, and his incessant need for water. It's all just so hard to watch.
I try catching the rest of the hearing on my way home but my signal is shoddy. I read a bunch of headlines and I feel almost as badly as I did the day after the election two years ago.
I come home and my Shopbop order is waiting for me. I open it up and try on the Charlotte Olympia flats. They look terrible on my feet. I then try on the AGOLDE jeans in the same size (24) I have in the darker wash, and it doesn't fit. I can't even pull it up. Guess both of these are going back. What a disappointment! The only thing I'm keeping is the Laundress mesh bags for delicate laundry. Womp womp.
It's finally Friday! This week felt so long.
It's finally cold enough to wear my new cardigan from Aritzia. So I wear that with my mockneck tee from Everlane because it is feeling a whole lot chillier today. I guess Fall is really here now.
I come back from lunch and I notice that there's a rip on the sleeve of my new cardigan. Ugh, why?!
I reach out to customer service and they tell me to send pictures to look into it. So I do that right away, of course.
I get a response pretty quickly and they tell me that I can go to a store closest to me to exchange or get store credit. I decide to test my luck and attempt an exchange. I call the store in Soho and they tell me they have one left in my size. They put it on hold for me. YES!
After work I speed walk to Soho so I can get in and get out, and head home. I inspect the cardigan to make sure there are no rips or holes. It looks brand new so I make the exchange and head home.
I get home and try on a bunch of things that arrived. I decide to return a blouse from the French brand, Sézane. I didn't realize it had lace cutouts going down the chest and belly when I ordered it. Gotta take a closer look at details next time.
I try on these joggers I ordered on Amour Vert using a bit of my leftover store credit. It feels itchy so I decide it has to go back as well.
Vadim really wants to go to brunch and I can't seem to decide on a place to go.
We have some cereal and make our breakfast drinks of choice. These days I'm obsessed with milk tea (black tea with oat milk and a bit of honey). It's so good! Brings me back to my childhood when I used to buy milk tea from Chinese bakeries. Ah…the days before I became lactose intolerant.
We finally decide to go to Parlay in Sunset Park. The food never disappoints and it's only a 15 minute drive away so we head there.
We both go with the breakfast sandwich. I get mine without cheese. We also order a side of spicy fries. And good thing we did because they were delicious.
We stop by Rite Aid on the way back to the apartment for a pack of printer paper, a tide pen, and a six-pack of Sam Adam's Oktoberfest. Vadim charges it on his card (~$21).
We also stop into my in-laws' house to pick up the three pound bag of walnuts and pack of smoked salmon that they picked up for us in Costco. They're kind enough to get it for us. Thanks, in-laws!
We get home and I print out the shipping labels to return my online shopping duds. We walk to Fedex and UPS to drop off my packages.
We come back and grab our tote bags for our Trader Joe's run.
But before that, we head to my parents' for dinner. My mom buys two kinds of pork (char siu and roast pork) for Vadim, a Vietnamese sandwich, also for Vadim, and makes a few dishes on the side too. We're full, say our goodbyes, and head to Trader Joe's.
We stock up on our usual goods and head home. Vadim charges it on his card (~$160).
We head home and watch the new season of Chef's Table with dinner.
Esteban tries to wake us up at 6:45 in the morning. NOOOPE.
We close our bedroom door to tune out the meowing. Esteban gets the message.
We finally wake up and have some cereal to start our day.
I head to brunch and Vadim goes to visit his grandparents.
It feels so good to finally catch up with my friends from grad school. They're both doing really well and I'm so proud of them. They want to pay with cash. So I pay the bill with my card and they each give me $30. $30 for my share.
Vadim's family comes over with food and we have dinner on our buiding's rooftop. It's chilly but the sunset is so pretty that we power through our meal.
We come back downstairs for tea and sweets. They head out and we unwind by watching the latest episode of 90 day fiancé: before the 90 days. It's so bizarre and we're obsessed.
This week was such a heavy spend week.
It's no surprise that Shopbop has a sale and I end up spending way more than I would want to on a normal day. I even felt pressure to buy more because my brain doesn't know how to act around sales.
And two brunches in one weekend? Definitely atypical for me. Nevertheless, it was a really exciting week for my credit card.
What are some exciting purchases you've made lately?

The US Dollar is gaining strength, however, international real estate buyers are still important, even though their purchasing activity has decreased by 30-50 per cent since June 2008.
So where does the strength still reside? New developments. The W New York is a great example.

Create a sweet and delicious milkshake. Using fresh organic avocado and banana as the base ingredients, this milkshake is sure to be a hit for everybody. Use yogurt instead of milk if you want a richer, creamier texture. If not, whole milk works just fine.
