Wrote a review of Splash Wine Lou
amazing!
My boyfriend and I were looking for a romantic night out on a budget and Splash exceeded our expectations. The fabulous pizza, the incredible selection of wine and the personal service was unmatched. We only spent $30 and had four glasses of wine, a pizza and a salad! The decor was great and the wine event better! We will be back.

Bad Office Help
I've lived here for two years so far and I'd like to warn potential renters of the lack of concern and help from the young couple who run the office. First of all, the woman is very arrogant and LAZY. She always rolls her eyes and looks bothered when you ask for something simple like say for instance... a parking sticker. They never answer their office phone and if you leave a message, even if you say it's important, they will not call you back. If you do get a hold of them, they usually say that they will "take care of it" but do nothing at all. Most of the time the office has a card in the window saying out to lunch for hours on end. As for the husband... he seems nice but is always over powered by the wife. She is MEAN!!! Oh yeah and there are a lot of illegals living here! Squack squack squack is all you hear though your windows!

San Diego Symphony/Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant
Yesterday and today San Diego schoolchildren and their teachers gathered together at Copley Symphony Hall for a Young People’s Concert, Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant—in advance of the world premiere date scheduled also at Copley this Sunday, Nov. 8, at a public family festival event.
Thousands of local children from public, private and parochial schools benefit in arts education from attendance at these concerts, courtesy of Copley’s education and outreach efforts. Lucas Richman, composer, wrote the score, Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant, to be performed along with live reading of the book by the same name, written by Jack Prelutsky, the first U.S. Children’s Poet Laureate.
Yesterday’s first concert was the one I attended, and peals of laughter broke out a few times through the hour, along with plenty of hearty applause. Philip Mann, conductor, led the orchestra through the folk element-rich and rousing Ruslan and Ludmila, Overture, by Mikhail Glinka. Mann approached elementary music education in a fun manner by commenting on Glinka’s work and a poem from the next piece, Poems of the Sea, by Ernest Bloch, a “mixture of sound and words” to Walt Whitman’s poetry. Richman then made his personal appearance and answered Mann’s question, designed, of course, to inspire young inquiring minds, “Can anyone here consider writing music?” Richman also imitated a few animal sounds the orchestra would “play” on their instruments for Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant, like the roar of an elephant and the shrill cry of the turkey. Musicians followed by introducing the sounds on their instruments—bassoon for a turkey, for example, and scratching sandpaper for the ballpoint penguins!
Of course, the performance of Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant was the highlight of the program. The projection onto the overhead screen, of individual musicians below, and sometimes of orchestral instrument family performers, showcased the instruments well and, we hope, piqued some student interest in selection of instruments for study. Too, projected drawings from Prelutsky’s book of his wondrous animals crossed with objects entertained at strategic points in the performance.
Just like it’s a pleasure to hear a songwriter sing his own work, it is also one to hear a poet recite his lines aloud. Prelutsky thoroughly enjoyed reciting and did so with comedy and feeling. A few times it was a bit of a challenge for him to begin a new line at the precise orchestral point, and he depended upon the conductor for assistance; he did extremely well, nevertheless. Some words recited at line endings were not always clearly distinguishable, as the human voice tends to drop in volume when completing sentences.
Prelutsky’s poetry is sure to resound not only with children but with adults, as well. Theodore Geisel’s (aka “Dr. Seuss”) poetry and even the late great comedian Danny Kaye’s writing style in his children’s storybooks came to mind.
Richman’s music was inspiring and usually comical, perfect for children and refreshing for an all-age audience. There was lots of marching movement in the music, and I imagined Prelutsky’s fantastic characters on parade. If a recording will become available for sale, I’m sure many children will march and dance to the music. The piece would lend itself well to a television special or a short children’s animated film.
Did the entire hour hold the children’s attention? Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant was almost one-half hour long, and there was noticeable squirming after about 20 minutes. Many children sat forward in their seats and appeared captivated as Prelutsky read lines and the orchestra introduced new animal sounds. Their attention wandered during orchestral music interludes placed at section endings of the poem.

Bankruptcy Lawyer
You will have to collect all information for him. He is very lazy. Does not review your case and keep you up to date on progress. Due to this I will lose a greater amount of money than I would have had I not used him.

DONT GO HERE!!! I would NOT recommend this company to ANYONE!
This company is a chop shop! Although the girl who originally gave me the live scan was nice, the results came back inconclusive due to oversight by this company. When I called and spoke to the owner, Michael, he could not have been more rude! He told me that his employees are not responsible for any errors on their part and that I was responsible for THEIR mistake. It is hard for me to believe this establishment is still in business with him running it. There are twenty other places that charge the same price. Save yourself the hassle and skip right over this one!!!

Great Personal Attention
My wife and I retained Kathryn Tokarska to help us with our bankruptcy in early 2009. Not only was she very professional she was sensitive to our embarrassment and needs. She explained the process in language that we could understand and helped clarify which records we had to produce for the court. One of the most important things she did for us was return calls or emails quickly when we had questions. She communicated with us at least once a week and more often if requested. Because of all of this personal attention as well as professionalism we recommend Kathryn without reservation.
