It must have been ~ it was
A lovely, intimate event in The Greene Space,
Einstein On The Beach...
I wish I had been there for that kiss.
& I wounder if the true irony in Einstein's life was ever addressed by Philip Glass in this opera. Einstein, in his life, was really a frustrated musician. & It was well know at Princeton University in humorous stories that Einstein, as a violinist, could not keep time.
I finally saw a performance in Toronto, I've loved the music since I began my music studies at Baylor University (1989) through my studies at Eastman (1995), the performance left me breathless, wanting more, never leaving my seat for 4.5 hours, and still it is not enough, I would give anything to see it again in Berkeley, unfortunately the performances are sold out, Einstein is the most beautiful experience I have ever had in this lifetime.
Glass's music seems to me to be the music that Frank Stella, Barnett Newman, or Kenneth Noland would compose.
Thank you!
Amazing performance. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I would like to hear more Debussy and Jussey Beorling. If you can give me this pleasure; I would appreciate it. Thank you.
What a gifted cast coming together for an amazing journey! Thanks for
this insightful, helpful broadcast. Can't wait for performances next week!
Tremendous broadcast on all accounts. A proper primer both in kind and in discussion before BAM next week. Bravo! Brava!
I always wanted to hear Philip Glass and all of the cast speak about the meaning of this incredibly difficult work. Thank you so much for explaining it to us, I live in Brooklyn, and can't wait to see Robert Wilson's and everyone else's marvelous involvement in this historic work! Wow, a 5-hour Journey!
Thanks for the webcast! This is fantastic.

Screen Printing
A printing technique that first appeared in a recognizable form in China during the Shang Dynasty using a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil.
Originally a profitable industrial technology, screen printing was eventually adopted by artists as an expressive and conveniently repeatable medium for duplication well before the 20th century. It is currently popular both in fine arts and in commercial printing.

In Anthony's words: "Zanzibar in Santa Monica is one of my favorite spots to spin at. I hold down Friday nights there and the crowd ranges from 23-to-40-somethings who want to let loose. I have the most freedom to explore old soul records there, while Little Temple allows me to play more world music. These two venues are owned and booked by some of the most loving folks I have ever met."

What's the good of a wagon
without any dragon
to pull you for mile after mile?
An elegant lean one
a gold-tinted green one
wearing a dragonly smile.
You'll sweep down the valleys
you'll sail up the hills
your dragon will shine in the sun
and as you rush by
the people will cry
"I wish that my wagon had one!"

"We estimate that we now spend 75 percent less time managing our storage systems. We no longer need to spend time on storage planning, or maintain maps showing where the data is stored; XIV handles all the complexity for us." - Andrew Felton, Infrastructure Support Manager, Clarks
Deployment country:
United Kingdom
Business Continuity, Business Resiliency, High Availability , Virtualization, Virtualization - Server
Founded in 1825, Clarks is a leading high-end global shoe retailer headquartered in the UK. With 600 stores and thousands of employees in the UK alone, and operating in over 35 countries worldwide, the company is rapidly expanding its global operations.
Business need:
Clarks International, a global, UK-based shoe retailer, needed a storage solution that would step up to the needs of rapid business growth.
Clarks deployed a new storage-server platform of IBM® XIV® Storage System, later expanded with two additional IBM XIV Gen3 systems, with IBM Power® 770, for its mission-critical SAP and warehousing systems.
Cuts the company's storage cost per terabyte significantly. Reduces storage management time by 75 percent while keeping performance consistent. Achieves reliability with zero downtime.
Case Study
Founded in 1825, Clarks is a leading high-end global shoe retailer headquartered in the UK. With 600 stores and thousands of employees in the UK alone, and operating in over 35 countries worldwide, the company is rapidly expanding its global operations.
The new growth translated to significant year-on-year increases in data volumes, especially with its key business systems such as SAP. The IT team forecasted that even greater capacity would be needed for upcoming projects. Clarks sought a change.
Andrew Felton, Infrastructure Support Manager at Clarks, comments, "We needed a highly reliable storage solution with much greater capacity. We also needed the new solution to offer excellent performance at a reasonable price. Finally, reliability and manageability were key concerns, since our SAP environment and other systems need to be constantly available. Except for a short maintenance window each weekend, these systems are either serving users or running important batch processes 24 hours a day."
Getting the right, reliable fit
Clarks sought a storage system to augment its existing IBM tier one storage as well as replace older devices. The IBM XIV Storage System intrigued them with its promise of tier 1 performance at significantly reduced per terabyte costs than their existing tier 1 arrays.
Felton recalls, "Initially, we had some concerns about the XIV—especially as a platform for our SAP systems—because its architecture was very leading-edge. We were more concerned about getting a very reliable solution than an innovative one." To assess the reliability of the new XIV machines, the company conducted a proof of concept [POC] on full-size non-production systems for several months, simulating batch and online performance.
Summarizes Felton: "Our POC results were very positive—we saw that even in the event of a disk failure, XIV was able to repair itself and maintain full availability without any performance problems. This gave us the confidence to run our SAP systems on XIV."
Supporting business-critical systems with XIV and Power Systems
Clarks deployed two full IBM XIV systems, synchronously mirrored for business continuity using in-built replication software, at its two main data centers. The team migrated the data of its entire SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse environment and moved into full production, with highly satisfactory results.
"The XIV worked so well for our SAP NetWeaver environment that we decided to invest in two more IBM XIV systems," explains Felton. The new XIV Gen3 systems serve Clarks' entire SAP landscape, so it is vital that these applications run on a highly available environment. The company's other AIX applications, which include a warehouse management system from Manhattan Associates and a warehouse automation solution from KNAPP, are also supported by IBM XIV storage.
Meanwhile, the company is steadily virtualizing its Microsoft Windows servers using VMware, swapping the current direct-attached storage onto the company's original XIV systems.
Building on its positive relationship with IBM, Clarks has also updated the server landscape serving its SAP systems to the latest IBM technology. Two IBM Power 770 servers now run the company's SAP production systems, with a third added to the two existing IBM Power Systems™ servers to handle the non-production environments.
Saving thousands – easily
Felton assesses, "Compared with traditional tier-one storage solutions, the IBM XIV solution was very good value for money. We calculated that by using XIV we are saving thousands of pounds per terabyte of data."
Felton continues, "The XIV system is also much easier to use than a traditional storage system; you don't need to be an expert. We estimate that we now spend 75 percent less time managing our storage systems. We no longer need to spend time on storage planning, or maintain maps showing where the data is stored; XIV handles all the complexity for us."
Most importantly, Clarks finds the IBM XIV systems highly reliable. Felton observes, "In over three years of using XIV storage, we have never had any problems that have caused downtime, loss of data, or any impact on the performance of our business systems."
The Clarks team next plans to enhance its backup capability by integrating IBM XIV advanced snapshots with its existing IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager solution. Snapshots will serve to back up the SAP systems to disk on the XIV first, making a full copy of the data in seconds and with no impact on users. Next, the Tivoli software will run a backup to tape, for longer-term storage and as an extra layer of protection. In most cases, Clarks will be able to bring a system back online in minutes using the disk snapshot rather than hours from tape storage. The snapshot function will also facilitate cloning production databases for use in the development environment.
Felton concludes, "We are very happy with the IBM XIV solution. It offers us high performance at a very reasonable price, and is considerably easier to use and manage than our previous storage systems. Moreover, we are completely confident in our choice of XIV and Power 770 as a highly available platform for our key SAP systems: even on the rare occasion when we have experienced a disk failure, there has been no downtime, no data loss, and no impact on the business."

I have been working at Travelers Companies full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Good mentoring program and on-going training for junior professionals, some very good people in this field, but almost all gone in the past 4 years. It is actually a good place to pick up career fast and leave for even better place in about 2-3 years.
Cons – Working hard is recognized "verbally", but that's it. This company is not encouraging innovation, it is actually extremely conservative such that so many people just want to stay safe until retirement day and get their pension. Career advancement and financial rewards has 0 correlation with how good your work is. The compensation is OK for this particular industry, but not even comparable with other industries that can use my talents. I came from another industry and my current bonus still can't match what I got 4 years ago as a junior analyst. So, as some reviews said, think twice before join.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

687 McAllister, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410237.779615 -122.423303
Tue-Thu: 5pm-9:30pm Fri-Sat: 5pm-11pm Sun: 5pm-9:30pm
Neighborhoods: Civic Center, Northeast
Nice restaurant and service, reasonable prices, generous portions – It's better to be seated in the front room, the smaller back room has a mildewy odor. The service is attentive, but strangely, each time the wait person would come by to fill our water glasses, he would fill the same glass of one person even though all the glasses could use a little more water. The tuna tartare was very good, especially the tangy cilantro-lime aioli served with it. There was plenty of tuna for the taro crisps served with it. The corn soup was good but sweeter than I expected. The grilled salmon was very good over grain and pea sprouts, didn't really like the pork tenderloin. Their polenta is thick and buttery, would recommend this if you like polenta. The prime rib was served with a lot of sauce, which made the fries soft/soggy after some time. I especially enjoyed the vanilla panna cotta. It was light, creamy and soft. The trio of sorbets was ok, I preferred the mango over the raspberry or lemon sorbets. The prix fixe dinner is the best buy, 3 courses for only $30. The prices on the website need to be updated, as my tuna tartare was more like $10.
All you can drink wine...What could be better? – I normally don't write reviews, but I had such a wonderful experience here, I just have to share.
I first heard of this place from a friend's recommendation, then I went and searched the net for reviews and all reviews were pointing to great. So I decided to book a reservation and ever since that dinner, I've haven't been able to stop thinking about how fabulous this restaurant was.
My boyfriend and I did the prix fixe wine dinner, which was $49 per person and you each get an appetizer, entree and dessert....BUT the best part is, they give you a list of about 10 wines that you can have glass after glass of. Our waitress would keep bringing us different glasses of wine before we finished the others. And they weren't cheap wines either, they tasted like they were about $10 or so bottles of wine. Oh, and their service was EXCELLENT as well. Food was very delicious, made perfectly.
You need to try this restaurant if you're in SF. Too bad I'm down in LA and I have yet to find a place like this...
Good dinner, but wouldnt go out of my way to eat here again – Went for a romantic dinner with my boyfriend. Good wine selection, service was good and friendly, food was average. Nothing wow-ed me though. Tables were a little to close together, and my boyfriend couldn't get over how dirty the front windows looked! He wanted to wipe them down himself! Good meal, but not the romantic intimate dinner I invisioned.
Rudest waitstaff I've experienced in a while – I heard fabulous things about Indigo, so I picked it for my birthday dinner with 10 friends. Initially I was very impressed - they had set up two different tables, one up front near all the action and one in a private room in the back that was more personal. I picked the back room and apparently the back room waitstaff. The waitress was rude and ignored our group for most of the night; she only came back enough to take one drink order and *much* later our food order. She didn't even ask half my group whether they wanted drinks. She was impatient and inattentive throughout the evening and made rude comments as much as possible. The tip was included in the bill, so apparently she thought that gave her free reign to ignore us for the duration of our meal. Because the service was so shoddy, we wound up taking twice as long for dinner as we had expected and were late for another committment. The food was okay, though definitely small portions and a bit expensive for what was, generally, average quality. I had such a bad experience that I will never go back.
Really Good Dinner – My boyfriend and I have season tickets to the Opera, but we're young and always looking for a good and fun place to have dinner (before the Opera and any ol' night). I found Indigo because of the Dine Out special, but we both ended up ordering off the menu. I thought the prices were really reasonable (Opera tickets are expensive enough!) and the food was great! It's the kind of restaurant I've been looking for since I moved back to San Francisco- good food, down to earth, reasonable- actual casual, fine dining! The wine list is really fun and has a great variety. My only complaint is that they took forever to fill our wine order and ended up being out of the wine I ordered. I've worked in restaurants though, and specifically have run a wine program, so while I'm critical of it, I also understand how it happens...
Overall, everything was good and I'm sure they'll be seeing A LOT more of us as the Opera season progresses!
Nice Ambience and Good Service – This was my second time to Indigo. It's a solid restaurant with friendly service and a comfortable ambience. The food is good, but certainly not great. The menu is small; there are about 5 or six standard entrees - chicken, beef, pork, pasta, salmon. Nothing special. The wine list is extensive but a bit pricey. Jade Bar next door is a nice bonus for an after dinner drink.
Hayes Valley standard serves up organic eats and California wines to pre-theater diners. – In Short
This neighborhood standby was one of the first buzz-worthy Hayes Valley restaurants back before the neighborhood was a destination, and the slick blue-hued restaurant continues to win praise and awards for its seamless service and food--simple California cuisine with a focus on quality organic ingredients. The restaurant prides itself on its extensive wine list, and hosts regular vino-themed dinners in its newly opened wine cellar. The downstairs bar, Crimson Lounge, is available for private parties only.
Fun FUn place – SO this place is way fun and has some great food to accompany it. We did the ultimate wine dinner for 50 bucks a person and it was a great choice. All the wine u want and enough food to go around. Definitely a cool place, somewhat romantic. It was slow on wednesday night so my gf and I shared the place with just 8 other people. Nice cause we werent feeling rushed for the two hours we were there.
Evening at the Symphony – A great pre-symphony dining choice. Service was excellent and very conscious of the performance deadline. The extensive selection of wine in half bottles makes for an excellent value and opportunity to try a variety of wines with a small group.
Fantastic Food at a Fantastic Value! – We've eaten at Indigo several times, and have always been overwhelmed by the delicious dishes. Their killer "ULTIMATE WINE DINNER" ($49, 3 courses + all the wine you can drink!) is San Fran's best food value - bar none!
We recently attended our first "event" at Indigo as well (the rosé dinner), and I have to say that we can't wait for the next one! Each course was perfectly paired to each different rosé, and each of the winery reps were very entertaining and very friendly and outgoing. The courses were great, and we especially loved the creamy polenta and rhubarb au jus with the tenderloin, and the pink grapefruit-basil butter with the mussels!
We had a great time (as always), and look forward to dining at Indigo again and again!

Where: Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Line: Alabama by 20.5.
Radio: 95.5 FM
Four-down territory
1. Benchmark: Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer ihas said this game will help him gauge where the Hokies are as a program. That doesn't sound like a coach who's confident in his team's chances to win.
2. Making a statement: Alabama's offensive line has had to answer questions all off-season about how the Tide will replace former All-Americans Barrett Jones, D.J. Fluker and Chance Warmack. Look for the new unit to come out fired up to show everyone they're ready to step into Tide history.
3. Bombs away: With fifth-year senior quarterback AJ McCarron and a plethora of weapons, don't be surprised if Alabama opens up in four-wide sets and throws the ball early on. This will keep the Hokies' defense honest and also give the Tide the opportunity to showcase some of its thoroughbreds at the skill positions.
4. Home cooking: Virginia Tech is technically the home team, but expect a sea of crimson in the Georgia Dome. The Dome is Alabama's second home and fans are going to travel in bunches. It will be loud and most of the cheers will be for the "visiting" team.
Key matchup
Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas vs. Alabama's defense: Thomas is Virginia Tech's most important player. If he is able to make plays with his arm and feet, the Hokies may have a shot to make this one interesting. If not, the game will be over early.
Because Thomas has shown the ability to make something happen with his feet when plays break down, look for the Tide to keep a spy on him for much of the game.
Virginia Tech doesn't have much of a shot in this game. Obviously, Alabama is supremely talented, but the Tide had one more important factor working in its favor: time. Given time, Nick Saban and his staff are the best in the country. So with time to dissect the Hokies, the Tide should run away with this one. Alabama will jump on the Hokies early to send a statement to the rest of the college football world. Alabama 34, Virginia Tech 13.

Angus here again. Will have comprehensive analysis on the trades later today. My work PC doesn't allow me to do much more aside from ramble! Some tidbits:
Like the Filatov trade for both sides. I have never been a fan of his, but pick 66 is a pretty low risk move to make for Ottawa, especially considering Colin Greening was on their top line to finish last season.
Grachev for a pick clears up space for the Rangers, who are absolutely loaded up front on the farm. Does having another Russian around help ease the Tarasenko transition next summer?
Regehr to Buffalo - great fit. Not as mobile as he used to be, but few NHL players are stronger. Not sure what Calgary is doing - one step forward one step back. Ditching Kotalik's contract is nice, but they got absolutely nothing back.
Campbell is now "the man" in Florida. He is overpaid, but still very useful. At $5 million per season no one makes a peep. Olesz may have an even worse contract. Olesz has zero fantasy upside - he'll likely slot in on the third or fourth line in Chicago.
The Blackhawks have to be after at least two defensemen. Paper thin even with Campbell on the roster.
My golden rules of trading... don't forget them!
1) Best player usually wins the trade
2) Quality over quantity
3) Proven over unproven
4) Young players don't always improve
Make sure to use these rules when evaluating NHL trades, as well as the ones you make in your respective pools.
Dobber - I love Filatov in Ottawa, regret trading him now. More insight in the Live Chat, join us! Angus will have full trade breakdowns early afternoon...
Angus here - will have the Brian Campbell trade breakdown up within a few hours. Same goes for the Regehr trade, the Filatov trade and the (still not official) Smyth trade.
Love the Burns trade for SJS. He is a bit inconsistent in his own zone, but he is also a legitimate top pairing defenseman with a dynamic physical and offensive side that San Jose has lacked since Rob Blake retired.
I don't get the move for the Wild. Setoguchi has upside and is probably the best winger on the Wild (in terms of pure scoring), but this is a huge step back for a team that seems stuck between a rebuild and playoff contention. I guess this swings the scales to rebuild, but it isn't exactly like Burns is old.
A great read on some potential draft gems.
JM Liles trade – like it for both sides.
Toronto had an obvious need for a puck moving defenseman, and Liles is a very good one. He is slightly overpaid, but only by a few hundred thousand. His defensive game isn't as bad as advertised, and he obviously had fallen out of favor with Colorado coach Joe Sacco (like a lot of his teammates).
Liles will likely man the top power play unit in Toronto with Phaneuf. He is a great skater and a fantastic puck moving defenseman. Toronto essentially replaced Kaberle (downgrade, perhaps) and picked up some other solid assets (Colborne, 1st round pick) in the process.
For the Avalanche – this frees up both cap space for a goalie and a roster spot for one of Tyson Barrie or Stefan Elliott. Both project as top four defensemen – Elliott is closer to being NHL ready, and he also possesses more upside. The Avs will probably need to add another veteran defenseman, but that will likely come later on in the summer.
Nate said:
Just a few days later, you're driving your nice new convertible down the street past another dealers lot. Parked out front is a flashier looking car than yours, and its for sale. Not only is it less expensive, but it has four wheel drive, winter tires, and has tons of safety features, which is important because you get into a lot of accidents. The car has been in an accident, but it was fixed and seems to be working better than ever.
What would you do?

If you are looking for a full size bed frame this is NOT the frame for you. This platform bed, although described as a full is actually a full/queen which means it fits a queen perfectly and a full size mattress sloppily and this we did not discover until it was fully assembled. I'm so disappointed because I specifically purchased a full size mattress and bunky board prior to receiving the bed frame and now there is a two inch gap between the mattress and frame on all four sides. And because the platform is only 13 inches off the ground, it is impossible to find a bed skirt to fit it. They are all too long. So it makes hiding the gap a big problem. Sigh. This bed had so much promice but it did not deliver.
This bed was abosolutely fantastic! I put it together last night with the help of my husband... We started putting it together upside down (Oops :)) but the disassembly was easy and putting it together correctly was a snap! All together with the initial disassembly and reassembly it took us about an hour total. The directions were easy to read and the whole bed came in one box. This bed is made of hardwood and the color was terrific. The bed is super sturdy and even though it is low to the ground, I'm still able to utilize a bit of the underbed space so I'm extremely pleased by that as well. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and I would do it again, hands down, no questions asked. I had to speak with a customer representative about an issue I had with checking out and she immediately resolved the issue for me. I am so pleased with this company! This was my first time buying from them so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was totally amazed by how fast the order shipped too!! Ordered it on a Thursday and my order was at my door on a Saturday! I was so pleased. I would totally reccomend this bed and this company to anyone who asked :)
I bought this bed for my teenage son (16 yo). I needed to get him a bed that would hold his size (200+lbs and still growing). Was very happy with the quality and the color (walnut). Putting this bed together was no problem (make sure your drill is charged-lots of screws). We only needed to get a top mattress since this is a platform bed, so that saves a little money for you. The height of the bed was good too, my son can still put his containers under his bed. The only thing with the frame is there is a small space between the mattress, but you can't see it when the bedding is in place. Still felt this bed desires 5 stars. The best thing is that my son loves his new bed! Hope this info helps with your decision.
A good sturdy bed although it may be a little pricy from my point of view. But, I'm an old dude and maybe that's why. It goes really well with my new memory foam mattress as I don't have to use box springs and it keeps my mattress nice and flat, like I like it, not all saggy like the box springs. Now I can enjoy a good night's sleep without waking up in the middle of the night wrenching in back pain or in the morning. I feel much better with this combination and should have done it long ago , had I known. Overstock is my favorite on line store and I will continue to purchase their quality products.
We had looked at many full size beds and decided on this one for it's simple but elegant design. When we received the bed in what was an amazingly short period of time (one week) at no extra cost, we were not disappointed. The bed came well packaged to prevent damage and was easy to put together. We found this purchase to be better than expected and are happy customers.
An excellent value. And real wood too! Beautiful.
Looking for something simple but nice - this is the frame. Wanted a sleek black frame and this fit the bill. Perfect for the guest bedroom - fits the mattress and looks nice.
these beds are very good quality and modern. They are big enough for my kids and low enough. Great price!
I ordered the bed for my daughter who weighs 100 pounds soaking wet. It was stylish, easy to put together and was a good price. Unfortunately, after about a year and a half it is falling apart, breaking and not supporting her or her mattress. Disappointing.
This is a good looking bed for the money. Easy to assemble. Fast shipment. No complaints whatsoever.

Ratings agencies slap on labels as to the credit worthiness of debt instruments. AAA or Aaa etc etc. And the public consumes this information as truth. But it's pretty obvious given the disaster in fixed income during the financial crisis, that these ratings need to be taken with a very big grain of salt.
They are not truths but instead opinions.
This week's new litigation against ratings agencies shows that the system of rating assets may be far from absolute or perfect.
(Read More: US Sues S&P Over Mortgage-Bond Ratings)
Ratings agencies look at current financial conditions and expectations for the future. This is a logical methodology. But when events and extraordinary conditions that are more irrational than normal, that where the disconnect happens.
It's when this confluence of events occurs that the ratings agencies start to appear incompetent and investors begin to lose faith. But the reality is, investors that slavishly look at a rating from any rating agency and see this as a stamp of approval are sorely mistaken; one only needs to look at the disclaimers to know that's simply not true.
Agencies don't make guarantees; they are providing opinions.
(Read More: Probe of S&P 'Intensified' After US Downgrade: Lawyer)
Ratings for fixed income or any other instrument are merely indications and not guarantees. AAA by S&P may or may not be AAA in your perspective or in the view of another ratings agency. Just look at the United States government's rating which varies depending on the rating agency; it's subjective and impacted by a variety of factors. And of course, most investors have no idea what the methodology is in terms of how these ratings are arrived at and therefore believe the indications based on blind faith (a dangerous way to invest in a rapidly changing environment).
So what to do?
- Look at ratings as merely an indication of potential financial health.
- Understand how the rating is calculated and the differences between the different rating agencies.
- Ask yourself what tail events could occur that could negatively impacted the position and invalidate the current rating 4. Form your own conclusions about the trends that might affect all positions not just the particular instrument instrument being examined.
Like all investment decisions, operationalizing ratings and factoring them into your process is very much dependent on your own personal perspective and value system.
Dogma and pure belief is a deadly and dangerous combination as you invest in today's environment.
Use information provided as simply inputs and not endorsements. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security because ratings agency X says something is safe or highly rated; people and companies can be wrong and you should never trust completely the opinion of any source.

Burton >Bars & Clubs > Lisa's Lone Pine
G4061 Fenton Rd, Burton, MI | Directions 4852942.967562 -83.692126
DONT GO HERE! – I ordered a bloody mary at this bar- and either I was drugged or the mix was so old this place should be shut down for serving it. I vomited for 2 day- after ONE bloody! Not to mention the bartender- who claims she is the owners daughter- was so loudly rude to the table next to us that they got up and left. The bathroom was so dirty and disgusting as well- this place is one nasty, dirty, rude slum with spoiled drinks. UCK!
Knockout neighborhood bar – People, this ain't a redneck country bar anymore! The place is clean and set up well for a small bar, and the drink prices are reasonable. There are rock bands most weekends, and you won't find better bar service than Lisa (days) and Dusty (nights). It's also a haven for serious darts players. Don't forget dollar domestic bottled beer on Wednesday nights. Check it out, and you'll be back!
