Hawaiian Gun Rack Surfboard Hanger Wall Rack
Surfboard racks aren't just for your garage anymore. Gone is the day when you left your Greg Knoll Black Cat surfboard hanging in the rafters of the garage. Now almost 45 years from the initial boom of surfing in the late 1960's your 1946 Tom Blake paddleboard, or let's say a 1957 Velzy Pig are fast becoming collectable pieces of art.
The famous shapers of yesterday, like Robert August, Guy Takayama and David Sweet are building numbered "limited edition" surfboards for their customers who would rather hang the boards on the wall than surf them.
Chip Foose, with his flair for making vintage cars into modern day showcars is even designing snowboards. Burton, Arbor and Lost all use decorative elements that get their surfboards and snowboards noticed on the slopes, so why not put them on the wall for decoration. The storage problem no longer exists when you can find a really nice looking surfboard rack designed for the home like the Hawaiian Gun Rack that has a model to hang your surfboard just about anyway your imagination can come up with.
Hanging your everyday rider needs a special wall hanger. A lot of what's out there are simple "garage style" surfboard racks that will store any kind of board, but don't necessarily look good in your house or apartment and most can't pass the "wife friendly" test. Today's realization is getting your best friend to understand that these aren't just play things anymore, but collectable art pieces that warrant reverence over the mantel or couch. And with the right set up they can definately add to the decor of the home without giving it that "frat house" look.
Whether it's a surfboard, snowboard, skateboard, kiteboard, wakeboard, or any of the new style X-treme boards that are on the market there are several products to choose from and they all come down to personal taste and some basic logistics.

The Flexbar optimizes the energy and spring derived from both longitudinal and torsional tail flex in your surfboard by refining and focusing these forces under the back foot. Utilizing a combination of alternating foam densities and fiberglass through the entire board, Flexbar finally allows the surfer to feel and use the energy in your board through maneuvers. All surfboards will eventually lose their "pop" and begin to feel dead, Flexbar maintains the optimum flex pattern through the life of your board.

Pickle Surfboard Wax Removal Tool
The Pickle Wax Remover is a unique tool used to remove the surf wax from any surfboard. The Pickle has always been "green." It is not only green in color it is "green" for the environment. The Pickle contains 100% recycled ingredients and does not contain or use any harsh chemicals. The Pickle is reusable and can clean board after board after board... Using your Pickle can help save the Planet! So get your hands on your Pickle today.
How the PICKLE Works
The Pickle is unique because it is a chemically-free dry wax remover. The Pickle cleans any type of surf wax off any type of surfboard. The Pickle can clean any surfboard with three easy steps. First, scrape the excess wax off the board using the enclosed Mr. Zog's Sex Comb or Flex Comb scraper. Second, grab your Pickle. Go ahead; don't be bashful! Third, rub your Pickle hard over the surfboard while applying pressure and using firm strokes. Rotate your Pickle to avoid wax build up. Keep rubbing your Pickle until your stick is shiny. Now doesn't that feel good?
Why you need a PICKLE?
Because the Pickle Wax Remover® is the fastest, easiest, and best way to remove unwanted wax from your surfboard (stick). You might wonder why someone needs to remove the surf wax anyway? The following are just a few reasons why surf wax needs to be removed from your stick:
- To clean the wax off the bottom of the board (aka; the Chinese wax job).
- To spot clean areas in preparation for ding repairs.
- To clean tail areas for tail pad installations.
- To change the temperature of wax used on boards.
- To make the board look new increasing resale value.
- To lighten up the board by removing extra wax weight (which can add pounds of extra weight to one's stick).
Who uses the PICKLE?
All real surfers need to remove their wax from time to time for one reason or another. All surfers ranging from the top surfing professionals to newly stoked groms are using the Pickle. The Pickle is a tool that should be in every surfer's garage, vehicle, and board bag. Just remember how embarrassing it could be asking your friend to borrow his Pickle.

Of Mice and Men
Of Mice and Men ebook epub/pdf/prc/mobi/azw3 download free for Kindle, Mobile, Tablet, Laptop, PC, e-Reader. Author: John Steinbeck
detailsOf Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
Of Mice and Men is a novella written by author John Steinbeck. Published in 1937, it tells the story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to place in California in search of new job opportunities during the Great Depression in the United States.
Based on Steinbeck's own experiences as a bindlestiff in the 1920s (before the arrival of the Okies he would vividly describe in The Grapes of Wrath), the title is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse", which read: "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley". (The best laid schemes of mice and men / Often go awry.)
Required reading in many schools, Of Mice and Men has been a frequent target of censors for vulgarity and what some consider offensive and racist language; consequently, it appears on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of 21st Century.
Of Mice and Men
The compelling story of two outsiders striving to find their place in an unforgiving world. Drifters in search of work, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie have nothing in the world except each other and a dream–a dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are doomed as Lennie, struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy, becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes such as the friendship of a shared vision, and giving voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men has proved one of Steinbeck's most popular works, achieving success as a novel, a Broadway play and three acclaimed films.
Development Of Mice and Men
Of Mice and Men was Steinbeck's first attempt at writing in the form of novel-play termed a "play-novelette" by one critic. Structured in three acts of two chapters each, it is intended to be both a novella and a script for a play. He wanted to write a novel that could be played from its lines, or a play that could be read like a novel.
Steinbeck originally titled it Something That Happened (referring to the events of the book as "something that happened" because nobody can be really blamed for the tragedy that unfolds in the story). However, he changed the title after reading Robert Burns's poem To a Mouse. Burns's poem tells of the regret the narrator feels for having destroyed the home of a mouse while plowing his field.
Steinbeck wrote this book and The Grapes of Wrath in what is now Monte Sereno, California. An early draft of the novel was eaten by Steinbeck's dog, named Max.
Editorial Reviews
Steinbeck refuses to allow himself to be pigeonholed. This is as completely different from Tortilla Flat and In Dubious Battle as they are from each other. Only in his complete understanding of the proletarian mentality does he sustain a connecting link – though this is assuredly not a "proletarian novel". It is oddly absorbing – this picture of the strange friendship between the strong man and the giant with the mind of a not-quite-bright child. Driven from job to job by the failure of the giant child to fit into the social pattern, they finally find – in a ranch – what they feel their chance to achieve a homely dream they have built. There's a simplicity, a directness, a poignancy in the story that gives it a singular power, difficult to define. Steinbeck is a genius – and an original. (Kirkus Reviews ) –This text refers to the Paperback edition.
About the Author
John Steinbeck, born in Salinas, California, in 1902, grew up in a fertile agricultural valley, about twenty-five miles from the Pacific Coast. Both the valley and the coast would serve as settings for some of his best fiction. In 1919 he went to Stanford University, where he intermittently enrolled in literature and writing courses until he left in 1925 without taking a degree. During the next five years he supported himself as a laborer and journalist in New York City, all the time working on his first novel, Cup of Gold (1929).
After marriage and a move to Pacific Grove, he published two California books, The Pastures of Heaven (1932) and To a God Unknown (1933), and worked on short stories later collected in The Long Valley (1938). Popular success and financial security came only with Tortilla Flat (1935), stories about Monterey's paisanos. A ceaseless experimenter throughout his career, Steinbeck changed courses regularly. Three powerful novels of the late 1930s focused on the California laboring class: In Dubious Battle (1936), Of Mice and Men (1937), and the book considered by many his finest, The Grapes of Wrath (1939). The Grapes of Wrath won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize in 1939.
Early in the 1940s, Steinbeck became a filmmaker with The Forgotten Village (1941) and a serious student of marine biology with Sea of Cortez (1941). He devoted his services to the war, writing Bombs Away (1942) and the controversial play-novelette The Moon is Down (1942). Cannery Row (1945), The Wayward Bus (1948), another experimental drama, Burning Bright (1950), and The Log from the Sea of Cortez (1951) preceded publication of the monumental East of Eden (1952), an ambitious saga of the Salinas Valley and his own family's history.
The last decades of his life were spent in New York City and Sag Harbor with his third wife, with whom he traveled widely. Later books include Sweet Thursday (1954), The Short Reign of Pippin IV: A Fabrication (1957), Once There Was a War (1958), The Winter of Our Discontent (1961), Travels with Charley in Search of America (1962), America and Americans (1966), and the posthumously published Journal of a Novel: The East of Eden Letters (1969), Viva Zapata! (1975), The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights (1976), and Working Days: The Journals of The Grapes of Wrath (1989).
Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1962, and, in 1964, he was presented with the United States Medal of Freedom by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Steinbeck died in New York in 1968. Today, more than thirty years after his death, he remains one of America's greatest writers and cultural figures.

FLAG-tag, or FLAG octapeptide, is a polypeptide protein tag that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology. It can be used for affinity chromatography, then used to separate recombinant, overexpressed protein from wild-type protein expressed by the host organism. It can also be used in the isolation of protein complexes with multiple subunits.
A FLAG-tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody. If there is no antibody against the studied protein, adding a FLAG-tag to this protein allows one to follow the protein with an antibody against the FLAG sequence. Examples are cellular localization studies by immunofluorescence or detection by SDS PAGE protein electrophoresis.
The peptide sequence of the FLAG-tag from the N-terminus to the C-terminus is: DYKDDDDK (1012 Da). It can be used in conjunction with other affinity tags, for example a polyhistidine tag (His-tag), HA-tag or Myc-tag. It can be fused to the C-terminus or the N-terminus of a protein. Some commercially available antibodies (e.g., M1/4E11) recognize the epitope only when it is present at the N-terminus. However, other available antibodies (e.g., M2) are position-insensitive.

SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein 1, also known as secreted modular calcium-binding protein 1 and SMOC1, is a member of the SPARC family. SMOC1 is widely expressed in many tissues with a strongest signal in ovary. It contains two EF-hand domains, one Kazal-like domain and two thyroglobulin type-1 domains. Extracellular matrix proteins have been implicated in the regulation of osteoblast differentiation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) through paracrine or autocrine mechanisms. SMOC1 is a regulator of osteoblast differentiation of BMSCs. SMOC1 is highly expressed and secreted in BMSCs stimulated with osteogenic medium (OSM). SMOC1 and SMOC2 are matricellular proteins thought to influence growth factor signaling, migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis. SMOC1 and SMOC2 may mediate intercellular signaling and cell type-specific differentiation during gonad and reproductive tract development.

(From Flickr) The Wedding at Cana (or The Wedding Feast at Cana) is a massive painting by the late-Renaissance or Mannerist Italian painter, Paolo Veronese (1528-1588). It is on display in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The piece was commissioned in 1562 by the Benedictine Monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, and completed in fifteen months by the year 1563. It hung in the refectory of the monastery for 235 years, until it was plundered by Napoléon in 1797, and shipped to Paris. The painting was cut in half for the journey and stitched back together in Paris.
Cello and contrabase had not been invented during the time of Jesus. The buildings are too ornate. It is not clear who the married couple is.
The guests are either praying or drunk.
The cello had not been invented. Jesus was not talking to Mary in public.
Cana is on a hill, and the houses then did not have running water at the time. The married couple is shown on the right.
The painting depicts people at the wedding in the countryside. In this sense, this painting is most realistic.
The Greek building in the background is too ornate, not a likely house in Cana.
P.1530 - §3 Near at hand stood six waterpots of stone, filled with water, holding about twenty gallons apiece. This water was intended for subsequent use in the final purification ceremonies of the wedding celebration. The commotion of the servants about these huge stone vessels, under the busy direction of his mother, attracted Jesus' attention, and going over, he observed that they were drawing wine out of them by the pitcherful.
There are not enough people here to drink the wine in six jars.
The painter takes too much liberty by drawing Venetian building in the background.
The scene seems to be too quiet. With one thousand guests, it should be quite noisy.
A good composition, although the columns indicate a large public building.
A good composition given the constraint on the space.

Please Help, replacing amp module in Yamaha power amp
Gday all
http://www.geocities.com/elphocfa/yamaha/index.htm Please check out that page.. Please I need to find out why 240v would go to the amp board. Also if anyone can give me suggestions on how to replace the board that would be great. Im hoping the guy from www.aussieamplifers.com can get me a pcb and component list for a replacement module. It has to be 80v dc and have approximately 230w 8ohm output via unbalanced inputs. Thankyou Daniel firstname.lastname@example.com If anyone wants to buy a Yamaha p2200 amplifer email me, one channel works fine, the other is stuffed, thats why im trying to fit a replacement, its cheaper than using yamaha parts. |

I have repaired a few of these - they aren't all that complex. The ac wires from transformer to power amp board are 11V ac, which is rectified and added to the negative supply rail for the driver stage, which gives more available drive to output stage. If you decide to replace the entire board, these wires can just be terminated and insulated. What is wrong with the blown channel? - is the circuit board physically damaged/burnt etc? Even if all output transistors were blown it shouldn't cost that much - I would suggest repairer having a go at you (transistors retail around $20 each x6). Cheers |

yeah ive tried the repair man
Hey thanks for your help... i think the working channel might have blown up last night.... blew the fuses have to buy more....
ANyway as far as the repair man goes this is what he said all the output trannies are blown, i thought they were around $30 bucks each but if anyone can point me else where thatd be great. Transistors on the board are blown too, as well as a whole bunch of "fusing resistors" which cost like $3 each!! He said itd take him probably a whole day to fix too. So it was up in the $300 mark to repair. I only wanted this amp for lions club discos and i originally paid $200 off ebay. You dont know what ampage the transformer puts out per channel? I am pretty sure that its 80vdc but i dont know how powerful it is. If anyone wants a 1ch yamaha amp yell out ill sell u it, lol. Im yet to find out if it still works.... So yeah i was thinking just replace that whole board with a new design that will fit in the box. The box is of excellent quality, but is of limited space. My one has also been modified so it has a bi-amp system in it. If anyone can give me parts/designs/suggestions that think that might help me. please do so. Like i said i only use this for the local lions club and elpinstone cfa juniors (http://elphinstonecfa.port5.com) - check it out, i havent finished it yet but its still pretty red.. Thankyou Those cords with AC had me stumped, thanks for that. Im still not exactly sure what they do cause if i take the fuse out on the board itself, nothing happens?? lol. The input from the attentuators on the front, would that be just the same power/volume, as the input sorce, like if i was to touch them it wouldnt zap me? Cause yeah if i was to replace the board, the input i was hoping could still run through the front panel controls.. ANyway thankyou Daniel email@example.com discolitez.com http://elphintonecfa.port5.com www.geocities.com/elphocfa/yamaha - please look Support Portland communications. Im in Central VIctoria aus.

what i meant to say was...
What i meant to say was because i paid $200 for the whole unit with one channel, i believe if i spend more than 200 for the other channel im spending too much on it (unless someone can tell me otherwise) Does anyone no how much youd think id get if i sold this amp:
WOrking perfectly- yamaha 230w 8ohm Victoria? One channel working? Nothing working cept transformer? Thankyou Oh buy the way, to all you fello helpers, check out www.accessonly.com.au they are an isp for dialup , what you get free access unlimted time and downloads. How to do it, well you sign up, then use it for a while, then at night time, you wont be able to connect, so you complain, and u get credit. I havent paid for internet in like 6 months. Only downside , you cant use it during peak times. However if you guys start your comp up in windows 98. Set it to dial itself. I just make it dial 99times continuously, and eventually it connects, not sure why u cant do it in xp. Thankyou ANysuggestions on my amp email me, if you could sell me a power amp for local discos email me, if u want to buy this one email. firstname.lastname@example.com |

amp for sale Yamaha p2200
Ok, my amp is for sale.

hello transistors and capacitor
Does anyone know what the variable resistor at the top of the channel does? ALso if i use motorolla replacement transistors, will i need to do any adjustments (that variable resistor is th eonly adjustable thing i can find) or can i just jam em in. I got a brand new channel for the one that is broken, but now i need a new set of transistors and a capacitor (one has started to leak) Does anyone have any of the output transistors that they are willing to sell to me? Does anyone have a 22000uf capacitor 100v? Thankyou all You've been a big help Daniel |

I probably first discovered Regina Spektor years after most other people in the country. It was only a few months ago that I was captured by her song "Us" featured in the movie 500 Days of Summer. As I went searching for more of her work, I found that she was already a fairly well-established musician. She just released a new album in 2009, and she also released a popular album called Begin to Hope in 2007. I decided to pick it up after enjoying a few samples. (As a side note, this was my first full album purchase from the new Ubuntu One Music Store.)
The album is definitely something unique and worth checking out. Her music immediately made me picture her performing as an independent artist in a city like New York. Spektor's lyrics are phenomenal. She embodies everything I'd hope from a modern singer-songwriter. Some of her songs are based on syllabic repetition in a style that is truly her own. Their hooks are so simple, and yet they work so well that it's hard to imagine trying to complicate them with anything more. There were a few songs on the album that I didn't care for much, but they gave me a deeper respect for Spektor as an artist. They reminded me that she is a true creator that is not afraid to push the boundaries of what a song should sound like. Above all, she appears to remain true to herself and her vision, and that is worthy of respect.
I definitely recommend checking out some of Regina Spektor's work, especially Begin to Hope. I will probably end up with some more of it over the next few months. Notable songs for me included Fidelity, Après Moi, On the Radio, Better, Sampson, and Edit. You may noticed that the first song that drew me to Spektor isn't on this album. It's actually on another called Soviet Kitsch, which I'll have to pick up at some point too. As for Begin to Hope, if you're looking for some unique and well-done music, this album comes highly recommended.

Business Model Transformation and What it Means to the Data Industry
I recently read an MIT Sloan Management Review article by Clayton Christensen's recent book titled "The Hard Truth About Business Model Innovations." While the article is full of great observations about business model transformation, the most important motivation for business model transformation is found at the end:
"..our understanding of the business model journey allows us to see that, over the long term, the greatest innovation risk a company can take is to decide not to create new businesses that decouple the company's future from that of its current business units."
We use the Big Data Business Model Maturity Index as a vehicle for engaging with our clients about how they can leverage data and analytics to transform their business models (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Big Data Business Model Maturity Index
In light of the Big Data Business Model Maturity Index, the article really got me thinking about how the entire data technology industry is posed for a business model transformation. Let me explain.
Across a number of industries, we are seeing business models under attack. It may have started with the digital media industries (advertising, entertainment) but it has quickly spread into physical product and service industries such as retail, telecommunications, financial services, healthcare, education, travel, hospitality, transportation, distribution and manufacturing. Organizations within these industries are leveraging data and analytics to disrupt existing business models (and disintermediate customer relationships) as the boundaries that separate industries evaporate (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Big Data Driving Business Model Disruption
I believe that same business model disruption (and subsequent customer disintermediation) is going to happen to the technology industry that spawned all of this transformation, and no technology industry has the opportunity to be a business model disrupter more than the data technology industry – the industry that gathers, stores, secures, provisions and analyzes the growing wealth of transactional, social, mobile, wearables, embedded, machine generated and publicly available data.
So I searched for a proxy that might provide some insights into the business model transformation of the data industry, which took me to the bottled water industry transformation.
Bottled Water Business Model Transformation
For over three decades, water was simply something that came out of the tap in your home or the water fountain. While water was essential to life, its relative financial value was very modest. Then things changed.
In 1977, Perrier launched a successful advertising campaign in the United States, launching the popularity for bottled water. Bottled water is currently the second largest beverage category by volume in the United States, behind carbonated soft drinks (CSDs). The Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC) predicts that bottled water will surpass CSDs to become the number one beverage in America by early 2017[1] (see Figure 3).
Figure 3: Increasing Demand for Bottled Water (per Person consumption)
Despite having one of the best municipal tap water systems in the world, American consumers flocked to commercial bottled water for four key reasons[2]:
- First, consumers have been bombarded with advertisements that claim that their tap water is unsafe, or that bottled water is safer, healthier, and more hip.
- Second, public drinking water fountains have become increasingly hard to find. And the ones that exist are not being adequately maintained.
- Third, people are increasingly fearful of our tap water, hearing stories about contamination, new chemicals that our treatment systems aren't designed to remove, or occasional failures of infrastructure that isn't being adequately maintained (see Flint, MI water disaster).
- Fourth, some people don't like the taste of their tap water, or think they don't.
A couple of key lessons that we can take away from the bottled water business model transformation:
- Through a business model transformation effort focused on value and not just functionality, consumers willingly pay 2000x more for bottled water than they do for basically the same functionality coming out of the tap or water fountain.
- The vendor didn't create a new product – it changed the economic value of their product (water), through effective marketing, which spawned an industry.
Future of the Data Industry
The same phenomenon is starting to occur in the data technology industry, and the potential to change the financial valuation of data technology players could be stunning! The challenge is how do these data technology vendors turn what has historically been a commodity by-product (data) into a premium product (business outcomes)?
Organizations have traditionally treated data as a legal or compliance requirement, supporting limited management reporting requirements. Consequently organizations have treated data as a cost to be minimized. The financial valuation of data technology companies has been based upon those perceptions and relationships. The below chart from Gartner summarizes the business model transformation challenge (see Figure 4):
Figure 4
Data technology companies tend to sell to the part of the organization where data is a cost to be minimized and the sales processes focuses on negotiating with Procurement on price, margin, terms and conditions, instead of engaging with the part of the organization where data is a corporate asset to be exploited for business value, and discussions focus on time-to-value and de-risking projects.
It would seem that anything that the data technology companies could do to increase the perceived and actual value of data to its customers and the market could dramatically increase their financial valuation. This includes leveraging data to deliver business outcomes such as:
- Optimize key business processes,
- Uncover new monetization or revenue opportunities,
- Reduce security, regulatory and compliance risks,
- Create a more compelling customer and partner engagement, and
- Enable new business models
This would require a business transformation for technology companies in order to focus more on delivering business outcomes and less on selling technology piece parts with "some assembly required."
Data Industry Call to Action
In much the same way that Perrier's introduction of bottled water to the United States in 1977 led to the creation of a new industry, the data technology industry sits at a similar business transformation point. But business model innovation and transformation will not be achieved with a "business as usual" approach. As Clayton Christensen points out: "organizational interdependences developed to optimize existing business processes dooms the creation of a new business model within the existing business model." It will require these companies to think differently about how they structure their organization, how they go to market, how they build products and how they incent their customer engagement teams in order to create value for their customers.
There is much that we can learn from other organizations that have transformational business models. Companies such as Netflix, Amazon, Uber and GE have created business models by focusing on the Customer Journey; by meeting customers "where they are and taking them where they need to be" and focusing on delivering business outcomes (or decisions in data science vernacular), not just technology piece parts.
But this needs to be done at scale; something a data technology company is uniquely qualified for, with the ability to create pre-engineered solutions and "collaborative value creation" platforms that couple hardware, software, and consulting to support the customer journey.
Data technology companies can be the pioneers in transforming their business models; however, they will not drive business model transformation by selling data as a commodity like tap water. Instead, data technology companies can exploit product development, sales, marketing and consulting to focus on delivering customer business outcomes at scale; helping customers to leverage and monetize their data assets to optimize key business processes, reduce security and compliance risks, uncover new monetization opportunities and drive a more compelling customer engagement[3].

Thanks for helping!
On a business trip and stopped here for dinner. Very helpful staff who were very friendly. Beer served in piss pots is a novelty. Pasta starter was excellent pizza maim not to my taste. Like a fried small pizza..... unusual.
I've been here many times: good beer and very good "gnocchi"! The only problem is that is ever hot: too hot really! Friends, get an air conditioning !
I really love this restaurant or pub . :D we ate there a lot of times after work . Good pasta and pizza . Amazing staff !!
I was in for a surprise when i went for dinner, was expecting nothing much more than beer served in a pee pot... but the food was really good. Spaghetti vongole served in a bowl made of pizza base... very inventive! Also find the house white wine quiet delicious... a friend of my recommended to me... Thanks Federica
(last visit 8/2011) I was an old customer of "il Bisogno" since the old place smaller and nearer the Rivoli Center. I was really fond of the "green beer" (that is a mix of beer and blue vodka, if I guessed correctly). It's halfway between pub and restaurant. Waitresses are now very busy and so they cannot help you so... More
