I had earlier written a review regarding my dinner at Houstons in Manhattan Beach on June 3, 2020. At that time I had written that we were disappointed in the service and quality of the food. We realized they had just opened that week. I was very surprised at a phone call I received from the manager of Houston's regarding my review. He could not have been more understanding and apologetic for the service we received. He was a Class Act!! He sent us a Bonus Card to return to his restaurant and give them another chance. I forgot his name, but just wanted to Thank Him for his kindness. We will return and I will write another review. Thank You, Debbie Lukesh
Racing Manhattan is a gritty, well-researched book about a young misfit heroine who has an unusual talent with racehorses. When she meets an equally misunderstood mare who is about to be written off, they come to an understanding and a kind of kinship develops between them. In order to prove they belong in racing, each must overcome challenges and decide to trust each other. A tale of courage under fire and the choices one makes to pursue one's dreams. Perfect read!
This CD pulses with energy! Ruiz incorporates traditional Afro-Cuban influences into his strong rhythmic and improvisational jazz style. Along with David Sanchez on tenor saxophone and Sepulveda on trumpet, Ruiz pulls out all the stops on "Mambo Numero Cinco" - a piece frequently heard in Cuban-American weddings and gatherings. "Michael's Mambo" showcases Ruiz's rapid-fire improvisational style on the piano. Afro-Cuban influences carry "Giovanni Speaks." Less distinct are "Home Cookin'" and "Overtime Mambo" which seem like watered down swing and have a kitschy Sim City-type feel. Overall, this is an perfect CD to showcase Hilton Ruiz's special style and wonderful musical ability.
Hilton Ruiz was superb in this album !!. You will also have fun unbelievable solos from Charlie Supelveda, David Sanchez and Papo Vazquez. Hilton dominates our caribbean rhythms but also had a special mastery of jazz. For example in "Impressions", Ruiz explores a whole fresh latin dimension, while David Sanchez shows how strongly he has been influenced by Coltrane, and this is then topped by the percussion. Giovanni speaks is also a delight and a quite a percussion feat. If you didn't purchase this 1992 album when it came out, no issue there is still time to go back to it and enjoy.
This very credible read feels as though it was set a few decades ago, but we are told that the racing yard shown is somewhat old-fashioned and more modern yards ism and bullying are rife when a girl from a troubled background tries to work her method up from groom to apprentice jockey. A fine grey mare called Manhattan is just as difficult and will be condemned if she doesn't shape up and begin winning races, as her Arab owner won't breed from losers. And our young heroine has a dodgy uncle who encroaches on her growing freedom. This is a reminder to all young readers that acting the maggot will obtain you nowhere but a YA book it's a gripping and gritty read, maybe too tough at times but it's no hurt to present girls doing this kind of job and trying to better themselves. When I was a teen, this kind of book was only written about boys. Horse lovers will wish to read it and be inspired.I downloaded a copy from Net Galley and wrote an unbiased review.
Well. Even with the "cheering" language in this book's official blurb, don't mistake this for a "cheerful" tale. Despite being a story of a young lover of ponies, horses, and riding, it isn't the items that light and delightfully corny family horse flicks are created ch of it is more melancholy than that, grittier, displaying family tragedy and dysfunction; ism, bullying, and blackmail; and the seedy side of horse racing. The heroine, outcast that she may be, isn't a timid or "wallowing in woe-is-me" sort, but she's full of rage and determination. And yet, she isn't a snarky jerk, she isn't totally beyond intimidation, and she doesn't forget how to smile.Speaking of jerks, though, some of the characters did tire me a little. There's a stretch when it seems that just about everyone Jay encounters is sarcastic, condescending, dismissive, or what have you, and an abundance of people being "mean" to the protagonist can obtain as irksome as an abundance of people being too friendly. But it all starts to balance out in due time, without being cheesy about , no, it's not a cheerful story, but it is relatable and inspiring, with a moving and rather brilliant style. Definitely glad I picked this young adult novel up.___________I received a complimentary copy of this book through the LibraryThing Early Reviewers program for an honest review.
I identified with this horse loving misfit. Loving horses is a lifelong thing with me. All horse lovers need to read this unbelievable 's the racing world's backside story, gallops, caring for horses at the training facility, and seeing potential where others see 's also about a powerful but unpopular girl in a man's world. Read it.
Hilton Ruiz was a amazing jazz and latin melody pianist who did a lot of session work in and around NY for a lot of years, as well as a lot of other places, too. This CD has him fronting a nine piece band, (four percussionists!) playing mambo and salsa music. The first chop is Mambo Numero Cinco, an old Perez Prado song (how could you have a mambo melody album without a Perez Prado song?). It sets the tone for the rest of the CD, which sounds a lot like a Pancho Sanchez record (nothing wrong with that!). I saw Hilton Ruiz playing in the band of Rahsaan Roland Kirk back in the mid 1970's in a jazz club in Greenwich Village, it was one of the greatest live jazz shows I ever saw. He died not too long ago in a silly and foolish way, I think he stumbled on the curb coming out of a bar or something. If you like latin music, you will definitely have fun this CD, these are amazing musicians.
This is a lovely, gorgeously-written book that effectively interweaves three separate but connected characters, each with their own stories, all tied to the desire for is is not a novel driven by plot, though there is ample plot to enjoy. It’s not a novel where three stories crash together in a crescendo, though each thread is explored and resolved. It’s not at all experimental or audacious as was Egan’s “A Visit From the Goon Squad,” satisfying itself to discover the depths of a conventional novel that fits the times in which it’s based.What it is is a beautifully-written, thoroughly engaging, painstakingly-researched and completely entertaining novel well worth your time.
I have read Jennifer Egan's "The Keep" and "A Visit From The Goon Squad" and while I didn't dislike either of them, I didn't obtain what the extreme hype and hosannas were all about. Now, "Manhattan Beach" arrives with a amazing deal of fanfare as well; loads of the Twitterati I follow have praised and promoted it, and I was eager to obtain my hands on it. Having reserved it at the library months ago, I was high on the keep list and got my copy the day it came do I feel about it? There is a amazing deal of high level artistry at work here. From the epigraph by Herman Melville from "[email protected]#$%" to do with the connection between meditation and water, a reader knows this is going to be literary fiction full of metaphor and symbolism. And deep is. From the opening stage where eleven year old Anna is taken by her father, Eddie, to a beach "mansion" to meet someone for whom Anna assumes he works, Dexter, there is a mystery about what happened to who, when, and how, and who knew what about the others, and how the threads of these three characters lives intertwined --- the capping, extreme-most moments of each life event near that same beach mansion, which Anna years later realizes is just a house, not at all the mansion she though it to be when she saw it as a child. And neither her father nor Dexter are who she imagined them to be, nor is she who they projected onto nifer Egan's amazing bonus for exploring the ways in which those things we don't see and don't know about each other affect us, how we fill the locations around the secrets we keep, and how we react to the absences of knowledge is tremendous. Anna, Eddie, and Dexter all feel deeply about one another in very various ways and are inextricably bound by those feelings and the actions that e plot around which Jennifer Egan meditates on those echoes and reverberations is almost secondary, it is there, it seems, in all its literary fiction mastery, as a frame on which to hang her ability to shape like poetry the exploration of reality in which she specializes; those twists and turns through the path of what we don't know, don't share, and spend our lives contemplating --- the secret locations in which are all wit; it's a book I admired more than I liked; the framework perhaps too visible but the decorations hung on it, still glorious.
Amazing application to use while on the go. I [email protected]#$%! tracked your progress as you learn the questions and respond them correctly.
Needs some better formatting for the idioms section. You should have 2 sentences in the front of the flashcard, one incorrect and another one correct. The correct respond should be in the back along with an explanation I.e "forbid a to b," "forbid" is always followed by an infinitive etc. This application just provides a single word in the front i.e "let" and students are supposed the know all 3 to 5 example sentences that use that idiom, both correct and incorrect examples. This doesn't support students memorize at all! I highly recommend the Magoosh idiom flashcards application for people looking to memorize idioms.
It would be nice if there were more questions. The current selection is amazing but hey, why not have more? :) I would even pay to have "expansion packs" that add to what is available. With that said, the application is snappy and simple to use, the explanations for each issue are detailed and thorough, plus it even gives you try taking tips. Definitely worth $40, and I am definitely looking forward to further ap developments.
This is one of the most fascinating books I've read recently. I'm a layperson in this field, but if you live or spend much time in Fresh York, and are interested in urban environments, it's a must read. And even if NYC is foreign to you, it's a amazing book about cities and how they work on a block-by-block, building-by-building, person-by-person rkin is an architect, urban designer, and professor at the Town University of Fresh York. He's well known both as a designer and as an architecture critic. Twenty Mins in Manhattan uses the route of his walk from home in Greenwich Village to his studio in Tribeca as a foil to talk about Fresh York City, about architecture as a human enterprise, and about the state of our cities and ourselves as social beings. The book alternates brilliantly from close attention to info -- stairs, windows, , airplane bathrooms, someone appearing to run from a policeman -- to discussion of how the design of cities reflects political structures and in return alters politics and rkin writes from a left-wing perspective and is a mostly unabashed critic of cash and power. I say "mostly" because he is also clearly aware of the fact that better design costs money, and creates neighborhoods (like SoHo, Tribeca, and increasingly the Village itself) where people with cash are drawn and push others out. He not prescribe answers but seems to hope instead to increase our awareness and attention. It is almost a modern coda to Jane Jacobs ( The Death and Life of Amazing American Cities ), whom he admires and discusses I read it, I found myself drawn more and more to look at buildings, at stoops, at railings, at intersections, and yes, even at the other people on the sidewalk around the city. I hope it helps you do the same.
I watched this on TV, commercials and all, and I still enjoyed it. I was not in a mood to take things seriously, and this gentle, harmless diversion from director Wayne Wang was not an offense to my intelligence. Lopez & Fiennes (with an American "accent") were amazing together, and amazing supporting roles by Amy Sedaris, Natasha Richardson, Bob Hoskins and, especially, Stanley Tucci, were a riot. In sweet, mindless movies like this, the supporting characters are always the best. I could've been doing other things, I guess, but at 11:30 at nite, this was not a waste of my time. I liked it. Lighten up... PS~ The small child in this movie gave a amazing performance.
Pete Hamill's "Downtown: My Manhattan" is part of the recent spate of books that combine private Fresh York Town experience and Fresh York Town history, as do Colson Whitehead's "The Colossus of Fresh York" (in a way) and Phillip Lopate's "Waterfront". However, Hamill's is as various from those two other books as those two books are various from each other. I don't know what is causing these authors to write such material--maybe the nostalgia brought about by the horrors of 9/11--but I'm glad they stalgia is the key word for Hamill's "Downtown". And it is not just the strong, private nostalgia that Hamill luxuriates in: it's also the nostalgia that every real Fresh Yorker feels for his City. Whether it was the Dutch or British who longed for their roots in the "Old World", as did the Irish, Eastern Europeans, Italians, Asians, Latinos, etc., or the people born here who cherish the memories of people and locations now locked forever in the past, Fresh York's ever-changing "scene" quickly compels our show into history. Hamill's sensitivity to this is brilliantly conveyed on every ever, "Downtown" is by no means a treacly, misty-eyed glimpse backward. It is a studied and educational examination of several of Fresh York's neighborhoods--some well-known, some not. The pieces about the Bowling Green zone and Times Square were the most fascinating.What, to me, is unique about this history is how it intertwines with other histories: with America's history, with Hamill's history, with my history, and, if you are a Fresh Yorker, your history. I could not place down "Downtown"; in fact, I read it cover to cover in two sittings (I had to go to sleep) and then read it again. It's that awesome a book.
Amazing app! This application is very useful for practice. But a lot of verbal questions are repeated from tactic guide. Fresh and un-repeated CR questions don't state the question type, hence makes it confusing to determine questions type, which is extremely necessary to determine the tactic to solve the particular CR question.
Do NOT buy Premium whatsoever. I paid $40 for the full package, wont allow me login so I tried password restart but just gives me an error saying it can't and that I should check the error log. What in the actual [email protected]#*. Ok, yeah, ill go check those error logs. Please fire whoever created this app. Also emailes HLT directly with the receipt of purchase and never got a reply. Don't waste your cash here.
Perfect overall. Regarding the app: Despite of minor problems like application load time and slow while syncing. I am just nitpicking here. Regarding the content: It is the best. Quality everywhere, from questions to explanation. It just makes sense. I haven't seen the quant section as of yet, verbal section is great.
Can't believe I payed 20 dollars for this. There's no method or using on computer, can only use on phone despite twenty dollar subscription. Doesn't remember questions you've already done unless you rated it as "know, don't know" despite the fact that you answered correctly or not (doesn't remember your answer). Worst of all, when you obtain a question wrong it immediately hides question, and shows explanation. Think to intuitively click back to view the question again? WRONG. You've now exited the whole quiz zone and will have to go back through BY HAND and SEARCH for the question you were just on by SCROLLING THROUGH EVERY INDIDVIDUAL QUESTION. Don't even bother trying to use the actual find functions, it's useless. And by the time you search the question you've completely lost focus. This is a not good design and your think they could create it more intuitive, or at least hold a HISTORY of questions you've answered . For twenty dollars .. Oh, and sometimes flashcards just won't load, it's like they don't wish you to use the app.
Useful review?
Two strangers lock eyes in a bar on Fresh Year’s Eve and experience an immediate connection. They soon learn they’ll be working together and it becomes very difficult to ignore that connection even though they know they should. This was a very sweet slow burn age-gap romance.

I gave it four out of five stars because there were several typos that were vert distracting. Otherwise, it was a very amazing Years Eve Kennedy and Jenna are two strangers in a bar that connected due to the extraordinary chemistry between them. The following Monday, they discovered they were business partners because Kennedy’s father sudden death left her heir of his half of the Burke & Elliot fashion om that point on it’s Kennedy’s story to search herself in her father’s business while fighting her attraction to Jenna. Jenna meantime was struggling with her own attraction to Kennedy while also struggling with sense of betrayal for not knowing her best mate and partner had a daughter he never told her e plot was well developed, Jenna and Kennedy were complex, well crafted characters. The story was slow and sensual. Well done!
