Maybe not a "living wage", whatever that is locally, but not true, regarding minimum hourly wages for tipped employees in all states must meet the minimum wage of the area when tips are included. If the tips don't get them to minimum wage, the owner is required to pay the difference between the...

Where did you get my family portrait?

One would think that, but, alas.

lol... you must not hang out in npr often. It is definitely the leftists that perpetrate this attitude over there. Including (especially) one moderator.

Npr in a nutshell per some posters:

I am on vacation in NH and went to Legends. It is a nice place with good Olhausen tables. Unfortunately, as many Yelp and Google reviewers have found, if you are not a local regular, you are not treated well. Three of us were there for 2 hours and the waitress took great care of the league...

I will look to find it again, I downloaded it a couple of years back, not sure where I got it.

attached is an official APA published list of unique rulings that allows this shot as legal in APA play: Category Question Ruling Legal Shot Is the "Tricky Close End Rail Safety" a legal hit? (In this shot, the cue ball and object ball are close to each other and just off the end rail at the...

I agree. They should play a third set instead. BTW...my son and I are in that video. right at the end, about 1:18:30. I am the bald guy looking around like my head is on a swivel...LOL. Joey was very nervous, not used to a shot clock, and let the shot clock run out on him once. I felt bad...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FatBoy! I turned 56 in June, it was just another number. Today is also my father's 90th birthday, seems like a great day!

agreed. changing the game pace to suit you instead of your opponent is used in basketball, hockey, and other sports as a legitimate strategy. There is no reason not to try to gain an advantage if you do so legally.

+1 on the Jacoby. I was practicing with a friend's Jacoby jumper last night and it was very easy to get the ball off the table with accuracy.

The APA greatness (or not) factor is largely a function of the league operator's attitude and actions. The L.O. can be amazing or can run off players faster than new ones can come along. My first team is now four teams, any one of which I would be happy to be a member.

That is all built into the companies growth and marketing plan. It is a design feature, not a flaw. They want players to advance, forcing a team to split into two teams, then bring in new players to fill out the teams. Organic growth is achieved with little effort from the L.O. or St Louis...
