Wow ... thanks Nadita

April works for me ... just in time for 'Spring Break'

Waitstaff do not make full minimum wage. They earn about half of their state's minimum wage for every hour they work. The real money they make is in tips. That being said, there is too much debate about tips. Even though all waitstaff get stuck with the occasional bad table, people serving in nice restaurants are working to earn 20 percent of the bill in tips. When a waitress is good at her job, that means she is working for $10 for every $50 spent on food and drink. On a busy Friday or Saturday night, that can amount to hundreds of dollars for a few hours' work, not to mention that there is money to be had serving diners during the workweek as well.

State-owned China National Petroleum Corp said last year the first phase of the Halfaya field had started operating and had a production capacity of 100,000 barrels per day.
