How many tables are in your dining room? How large is your staff?

Well Al its it’s a Bar, Restaurant & Club more or less on three levels with 12 staff and 14 tables on the top leval in what I would call the main dinning area. In the basement there is live gig club or room so to speak with a bar. The main bar is on the ground level and some eat down there and outside where there are tables. But the Kitchen is not open all hours.

So you have customers that play cards, and other customers that eat, drink, and watch a high stakes poker game. Do you have to be a member to get in, or do you just have to make reservations to get in?

No the poker club is a different place entirely where we have private games.

Europe’s central banks halt gold sales September 26 2010 22:08 Europe’s central banks have all but halted sales of their gold reserves, ending a run of large disposals each year for more than a decade. The central banks of the eurozone plus Sweden and Switzerland are bound by the Central Bank Gold Agreement, which caps their collective sales. The sales are the lowest since the agreement was signed in 1999 and well below the peak of 497 tonnes in 2004-05.In the CBGA’s year to September, which expired on Sunday, the signatories sold 6.2 tonnes, down 96 per cent, according to provisional data. The shift away from gold selling comes as European central banks reassess gold amid the financial crisis and Europe’s sovereign debt crisis. In the 1990s and 2000s, central banks swapped their non- yielding bullion for sovereign debt, which gives a steady annual return. But now, central banks and investors are seeking the security of gold. The lack of heavy selling is important for gold prices both because a significant source of supply has been withdrawn from the market, and because it has given psychological support to the gold price. On Friday, bullion hit a record of $1,300 an ounce. “Clearly now it’s a different world; the mentality is completely different,” said Jonathan Spall, director of precious metals sales at Barclays Capital.

All I read into that is that the future is uncertain. Did I miss something?

So the way we have it now, at least they don't smash your place and take your money first before they resort to the extortion.

No, you're wrong. My Uncle owns a bakery. Its a nice quiet business. He runs it with his wife out in the country. He goes home to a nice house with a nice dog and a hot meal. He doesn't lock his doors at night. And he doesn't get robbed.
Soviet choppers don't drop off weapons, there is no mass rape, and last time I checked, His limbs hadn't been severed by a machete weilding warlord. There is a slight difference in lifestyles there. You choose to ignore it. You're a fool. |

(Reuters) - The world's wealthiest people have responded to economic worries by buying gold by the bar -- and sometimes by the ton -- and by moving assets out of the financial system, bankers catering to the very rich said on Monday. The uneasy outlook for inflation, hard currencies and global growth has triggered a five-fold increase in a physical gold fund launched by Pictet one year ago, the Swiss private bank said.

Paul Brodsky and Lee Quaintance, of QB Partners, have determined what they call the "shadow gold price".
This shadow price is calculated according to the "Bretton Woods formula for valuing money in a gold-exchange regime (i.e., the fixed value of a currency equals its monetary base divided by official gold holdings). Under this formula the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to an ounce of gold would be about $8,250 presently, a figure that reflects the amount of monetary base inflation already engineered by the Fed. (The U.S. monetary base approximated $2.15 trillion in September and reported official U.S. gold holdings have remained relatively constant at about 8,133.5 metric tons or about 261.5 million ounces.)"
