Arizona’s wine industry is growing, and it’s no surprise. After all, the state’s volcanic soil, warm daytime and cold nighttime temperatures make AZ some of the best land and climate in the U.S. for growing wine grapes.…
Fiesta 1980, written by Junot Diaz, is about a Hispanic family that lives in New York. Their relatives, tío (uncle) Miguel and tía(aunt) Yrma, just moved from the Dominican Republic to the United states and therefore they are throwing their aunt and uncle a party. There is much representation on how the Hispanic people really live embedded within this short story.

In order to determine the enterprise value and recovery rates for each class of creditors implied by the April 2009 attempted exchange offer, we first had to determine the priority levels of the capital structure. We used Exhibit 7 in the Case documents to determine the priority levels of each class. The top priority class included the SFTP Revolver and Term Loan; the second priority class included the SFO Notes; and the third priority class included the SFI 2010, 2013, 2014, and converible notes; The lowest priority was the PIERS preffered equity followed by common equity.…
The event also had many games that you could participate in and be more active. The first game that I played is Sapo which is sort of the equivalent to the American corn hole. Each team has six coins and you have a board that has different holes that are worth a certain amount of points and the team that reaches the goal score first wins. There is a frog placed in the center of the board that is worth 4000 points and is nearly impossible to make it in. They also had soccer goals set up to play since it is a huge part of the Spanish culture and is often played when there are get togethers such as cinco de mayo. To kinda of end things they served tacos and burritos as well as had two dancers that danced as part of some…
"Oh my gosh, that ride was so boring!" That is what traveler's say when riding on the interstates. People on route 66 say amazing things about their adventurous ride. For example, in the story, "The Best of America is on the Blue Highways," it really does get into detail about all the amazing characteristics on Route 66. Taking this sight seeing route is an amazing experience. It is not as busy as those interstate, and is way better than any other ride. Route 66 is a non stressful ride you do not have to worry about getting from point A to point B as soon as possible. So, take the time for a ride you will never forget.…
I have always loved my county fair in Tulare, CA. I love seeing all the different animals and aspects of agricultural together in one place. My most positive thought of my fair is educating outsiders about my animals. This was my first time walking thru the Fresno fair so it was a little different not being involved in the dairy barn. I was able to view the fair as an outsider in some way. This let me realize some major aspects and some things I have never realized about the fair.…
The smell of buttered popcorn drifts towards you as you trot through the streets of the park. Then the scent of churros, hotdogs, and other delicious treats fill your nostrils as you continue to walk. You see the flashing lights and the characters lining the streets shouting, “Hello.” What makes Six Flags Over Georgia different than the great Disney World? Sure, Six Flags over Georgia has roller coasters, water rides, and countless concessions, but what makes it special? Disney World has all of those things, so how is Six Flags over Georgia different? Six Flags over Georgia is a more enjoyable theme park than Disney World in Orlando, Florida because of the higher maturity level of most of its attractions, the amount of rides, and the lowest ticket price.…
The Big Easy is known for many celebratory events and festivals, but none is as well as known as Mardi Gras to people outside of New Orleans. In English, Mardi Gras means Fat Tuesday which is a term New Orleans’ residents used frequently when individuals greet each other during the season.

The start of the Mardi Gras season begins on a consist date of January 6 which is King’s Day other wise known as Feast of Epiphany.

"Mardi Gras" means "Fat Tuesday." Traditionally, it is the last day for Catholics to indulge—and often overindulge—before Ash Wednesday starts the sober weeks of fasting that come with Lent. Formally known as Shrove Tuesday, Mardi gras has long been a time of extravagant fun for European Christians.…
I remember the day vividly: the sizzling of food frying, children yelling, my tears running, it was the first time I adventured to Six Flags. The uneasiness of my stomach while swaying tens of feet from the ground on the Texas Giant petrified the adventurous spirit out of me. However, I did not realize that moment `would shape the next eight years of life, emerging in my memory at every unfamiliar experience I faced. It was my senior year when I declined an invitation to go camping with my friends an epiphany struck me. How many of these opportunities was I going to skip out on due to my reluctant manner?…
Texas has so much that it offers that's why it's a great state to be in, even if it is just for vacation. I've traveled to multiple countries and they were beautiful but they don't offer the variety that Texas offers. In Texas, you get a little of everything, country, spans, soul, islander, etc. That is why I consider Texas as the land of the free and a great state to be…
Six Flags is a theme park that has anything from sweet treats to fun rides. Six Flags provides many things for all ages to do and enjoy. You also can see famous cartoon characters, such as Bugs Bunny, walking around the park. Teenagers and adults who have strong stomachs might enjoy riding the huge roller coasters. For example, The Ninja is one of my favorites. The Ninja is red and black and is very fast and is over in a heartbeat. It goes up and down steep hills and even loops upside down. Six Flags also has water rides available to keep people cool from the warm weather. My favorite is Thunder River. Last summer, I was lucky enough to get caught under the waterfall, which is just my luck. Six Flags also has games to play and many souvenir shops. The games are loud and have huge stuffed animals as a prize for winning. As for the sweets I mentioned, the funnel cakes are absolutely delicious, they are cooked to perfection and are topped with powdered sugar. I would recommend Six Flags as a place to go when visiting Atlanta for family fun and a great bonding time to hang out with friends.…
I was going to apply for 6 flags amusement park at a point, but just didn’t end up working with my schedule. I am glad that you have become more confidence and less anxious. I still get nervous and shy even if I think I am prepared enough. The one thing that helps me not let it get the hold of me is, just being as truthful as I can be and let the marbles fall in its…
Another very popular vacation destination is theme parks. Places like Disney World, Dollywood, Six Flags, Universal Studios and Sea World offer big doses of high energy family fun. Theme parks are most popular amongst families with small children. There are plenty of activities geared directly toward holding children’s interests. There is also something magical about theme parks that draws in adults. The sights, the sounds, but mostly the way they make them feel. They remind them of simpler times, like when they were children and didn’t have a care in the world. The benefit to these vacations is that they require very little planning. The only thing you have to plan is how to get there. Once you arrive at the theme…
