Too bad that theyre using foam cups with the lids...wouldnt paper cups be a little less material to go into the landfill!?!

I think this is a stupid product, and too expensive to boot.

Direct Trade is more supportive
Its not just one roaster. Unlike Fair Trade, which has often mixed reactions in the industry about whether it ultimately hurts or helps, Direct Trade has almost universally been seen as a positive for consumer, grower, and roaster/distributor.

Contracts Direct!
From a producer family in Guatemala, I would just like to agree with the comment that working direct, even if through a broker, is much more sustainable that certified Fair Trade coffees. Firs of all, farms cannot be certified, only coops and I dont think that consumers understand that. Secondly, Fair Trade does not assure quality and sustainability of life only a minimum payment for their coffee.

McCafe
McDonalds extensive investment is insignificant when compared to the investment made by the McDonalds franchisee. The risk on the corporate side is minimal, if it fails the corp. will take a special charge and move on. The franchisees will be stuck with millions in personal debt. there is nothing "bold" about a franchisor forcing more debt on franchisees.

Sunscreen Mist is wonderful, and easy to use!
I have used Sunscreen Mist at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and found it to be FANTASTIC!! The mist protected me for hours in the Vegas heat, and the aroma of the mist made me feel like I was sipping a pina colado on the beach in Negril! My children also used the Sunscreen Mist Station, which was perfect because my husband simply used the wand to mist them all over, and it took just seconds to protect their whole body!

All in all, Id have to say that this is one of the best new products Ive ever heard of. It should be in every resort, beach, and pool in the world. I would recommend Sunscreen Mist to anyone.

vending training
having been on this advisory committee for a very long time,it is a shame that the district is more worried about funding than whether or not students attend class in their senior year.

This program has traditional had an attendance of 88% or better. The past two years the senior attendance rate has dropped to 69%. This partial due to a policy that allows students to graduate with 3 elective credits.

After 2 years in the 3 year program the attain 4 elective credits and are not required by the school district to attend class in their senior year and still grraduate. Ill send you the letters Ive written to the district..

Nutrition information for fast food
I think it??s a great idea restaurants are being asked to post info. It??s amazing how hard restaurant chains are fighting to hide their nutrition information. Its hard to eat well when eating out, especially when you have dietary needs or want to watch your calorie intake. Often food items that seem healthy and are marketed that way are not. For this reason, my company just launched a new service called ??Wellternatives?? that lets people find nutrition info for thousands of chain restaurants ?? right from their cell phone or on the web. It also makes recommendations for a healthier alternative to your favorite restaurant meals, hence the name??Wellternatives. Would love to hear what you think of it! Sara

Lime
I miss the limeade crystal lite! It made perfect margaritas. What happened to it? I think in the diet cocktail market there is definitely room for a limeade crystal lite. Who carfes about peach ice tea? Give us a decent mixer!

Fake news reporting
Mr Vaughters was recently fired for this report. He made up most of the story and was found to be a racist.

Cashless is Coming
In a cashless system we open ourselves to administrative abuse from service charges. It frightens me when big brother offers me convenience wit strings attached.
