Asphalt Parking Lot Repair
Commercial Property Managers and Franchise Operators Save $1000s Doing Their Own Asphalt Parking Lot Repairs.
If you're a commercial property manager, you know that regular parking lot repair and maintenance is essential to your business. Potholes, cracks, uneven surfaces, and faded line striping don't just look bad; they also increase the risks of vehicle damage and personal injuries. Simply put, no business can afford to risk expensive litigation costs due to a poorly maintained parking lot.

All our clients have one thing in common: they want to improve the condition and appearance of their asphalt assets, and save money. They have learned that by having their own maintenance staff do their asphalt repairs, they can save thousands of dollars.

The Four Steps Of Maintaining Asphalt:
- Cleaning any stains or debris.
- Crack Repair and Pothole Repair to ensure an even surface.
- Sealcoating to protect the asphalt.
- Linestriping to mark parking spots, handicapped spots, and more.
Cleaning Needs:
You're most likely already doing some of this, but let's make sure you've got all the parts of cleaning asphalt maintenance covered.
- Well-placed garbage cans will save you a lot of litter pick-up.
- As far as parking lot equipment goes, a gas blower will make short work of clearing leaves and debris into a corner for easy clean-up. The wheeled machines are the easiest to use, if it fits your budget.
- The most overlooked part of cleaning the property's parking lot? Fuel stains. These will eat away at your asphalt, and cause cracks and potholes. Use a degreaser cleaner designed for asphalt to avoid a product that can cause more damage.
Without quickly treating oil stains and other vehicle fluid spills with a commercial-grade product, asphalt can deteriorate and crumble rapidly creating the need for extensive and costly repair. The Asphalt Kingdom Degreaser is incredibly effective at treating these stains before they cause serious damage.
Crack Repair and Pothole Repair Of Your Property's Parking Lot:
The parking lot equipment for this job goes from simple cold crack filler, all the way up to machinery that will heat and apply hot pour crack filler for you. Don't worry - crack filling is easy to do, and it is the most important part of asphalt maintenance. By keeping your lot crack-free you protect the foundation, and prevent future damage.
Commercial property managers know that catching potholes early makes all the difference in the amount of repairs that need to be done long-term. If there are potholes present in the parking area, our asphalt cold patch rapid-set product will help you to fill them quickly and easily. Its unique chemical makeup means that it adheres to the foundations inside the pothole, preventing any spreading. This rapid-setting cold patch works in any season, and its simple three-step process is all you need to get the job done properly so it lasts.
Here's the run-down on what you need to fix cracks and potholes:
- Cold Crack Filler: Good only for cracks ½ inch or less in width, requires no tools to use
- Hot Pour Crack Filler: Good for up to 1 inch wide fissures. Needs a melter to heat it and a pour pot OR a 2-in-1 machine that heats and applies. Our crack repair starter kit gives you the AK10 2-in-1 machine and 6 boxes of crack filler—perfect for property managers or contractors starting in the crack repair business.
- Cold Asphalt Patch: For cracks wider than 1 inch, better known as potholes. No specialized machinery is needed.
- Helpful Additions: There is specialized parking lot equipment built for clearing cracks. Big time-saver that's nice to have.
Sealcoating The Property's Parking Lot:
Asphalt maintenance that's preventative is always better than parking lot repairs! By applying sealcoat, you seal the surface and protect it from sun, ice, rain, fuel spills, and more.
Now, although homeowners often apply sealer with a broom or squeegee, that's simply not practical for large areas like the ones you'll be doing. Sealcoating spray systems are a smart addition to your parking lot equipment, especially when you consider sealing is best done every 2 years. The spray systems are easy to use even for a novice. Our customers find that the spray systems are the most popular due to their low cost and ease of use and they often comment about being shocked about how quickly they can get the job done as our sealcoat systems allow them to sealcoat at walking speed. A wise investment indeed.
We offer commercial grade asphalt sealer in 5 gallon pails, 55 gallon drums, and 275 gallon totes. A quality sealer forms a protective layer over the asphalt to seal out water, UV rays, and exposure to the elements. This extends the life of the asphalt, and will save you money in the long run (versus having to repave, which is costly). For help with calculating sealcoat amounts, try out our blacktop calculator.
Linestriping Asphalt Maintenance:
Right, so if you've applied sealer, your parking lot lines have disappeared under that fresh black coat, so you'll need to paint lines after it's cured and dry. Again, this type of parking lot equipment needs no special training and it's simple to use. For painting your property's parking lot you'll also need:
- Line Paint in the colors you need (ie. yellow for lines, blue for handicapped stalls, etc.)
- Stencils for marking any numbers, letters, stall markings, fire lanes, no parking, etc.
- Add-ons like grit and hi-visibility beads if needed
Property Managers Maintain Asphalt Themselves and Save $
By doing your own asphalt maintenance on your property's parking lot, you will ensure that the job is done right, and when needed. Your asphalt will last a lot longer too. Not only does this save money, it keeps your property looking great for your clients.
From cleaning to crack repair, sealcoating to linestriping, now you know exactly what parking lot equipment you need for success.

Thunder notebook: Scouting Charlotte
Defensive emphasisBrooks emphasized defense during practices Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. "Defense is effort," Brooks said. "We have to be willing to stop our guy — individual pride — No. 1, then (defensive) technique comes second. All our guys have to challenge themselves to stop their man from scoring."
Swift updateCenter Robert Swift, sidelined the past six games by back spasms, hasn't returned to practice but is improving. "I honestly don't know how I hurt it," Swift said. "I woke up one morning and couldn't move. It feels like it's been two months, not 10 days. But it's a lot better. Doctors can't give me a timetable. ... It's not going to be too much longer."
Vacancy on backburnerBrooks hasn't spent much time contemplating how he will fill an assistant coaching vacancy created when Paul Westhead was fired along with P.J. Carlesimo two weeks ago. "I'll look at it more the next couple of days," Brooks said. "Obviously it puts a lot of work on all of us to do extra. Our guys are willing to do that. We have no problems hiding from work. It could still be some time (before it's filled)."

games xtreme (Apr 06, 2005)
Kao the Kangaroo – Round 2 is a nice little game for younger gamers or possibly anyone who has never played a platformer before. More experienced gamers would find it a little too easy but I must say it does make a nice change to play a game that doesn't depend on you being a member of MENSA to work out the plot and the control system. If I have got a criticism it is with some of the voice actors, I am sure they must have had voice coaching from Arnold Schwarzenegger as in parts it is slow, stilted and painful to listen to, but at least you do get the option of skipping these cut scenes after you have heard it the first time.
Gamernode (May 09, 2006)
Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 is an interesting hybrid of many platformer attributes, and this may or may not bother some individuals. Gamers who are die-hard platformers will most likely write this game off as a rehash of what has been done before. But what must be said is that while many elements are familiar, the way these elements are put together is entertaining and fun. The best way to enjoy this game is to appreciate it on its own merits without becoming too cynical about the recognizable aspects of the title. Children will also love this game as it offers a good deal of action, adventure, puzzles, boss battles, talking animals, and deeply beautiful scenery. While Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2, is in no way a ground breaking game, it does offer a pleasant experience to gamers who will enjoy a game that brings back memories of past platformers.
Digital Entertainment News (den) (Apr 27, 2006)
Before creating a platforming title, there are a few things you need to get right. First, the camera. Without a suitable camera, even the most gripping subject matter and gameplay can turn a title into nothing more than a very expensive coaster. Second, you need a good plot. Without an interesting story, how are gamers going to stay immersed? Third, you need to have plenty to do. If the main quests are complete and there is nothing else to do in the game, then Joe Schmoe is going to trade your game in quicker than you can say hyperpituitarism.
GameSpot (Apr 27, 2006)
Roughly five years ago, Kao the Kangaroo first appeared in his own 3D adventure game on Sega's ill-fated Dreamcast console. It wasn't a groundbreaking effort by any stretch, but the easygoing run-and-jump design and charming characters made Kao (pronounced "K-O") a worthwhile pickup for anyone seeking a weekend of lighthearted fun. The same holds true of the boxing marsupial's latest adventure, a budget-priced disc that's available for the GameCube, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 consoles, as well as for Sony's PlayStation Portable handheld.
Jeuxvideo.com (Feb 01, 2005)
Particulièrement destiné au jeune public, Kao 2 parviendra de fort belle manière à distraire même les grands enfants grâce à son design cartoon et à sa facilité de prise en main. Quoique largement inférieur aux grands noms de la plate-forme comme Rayman 3, Sly 2, Jak 3 ou encore Rachet & Clank 3, notre kangourou arrive tout de même à nous amuser et c'est bien là le principal. Un petit jeu sympathique sans plus.
IGN (May 30, 2006)
When looking at the gaming industry at a glance, there are a few franchises that make up the bulk of top-tier classics. Names like Mario, Zelda, Kirby and Metroid come to mind from Nintendo, and games like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper follow suit on PlayStation 2. Aside from the big league licenses, however, there seem to be a never-ending stream of under-card characters as well. Licenses like Tak, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Spyro and Kao are just a small list of original properties that aren't quite high enough on the list to play with the big boys, but still attempt to deliver a fresh take on licensed gaming.
Gamers Europe (Apr 19, 2005)
"Tie me kangaroo down, sport!", as the chorus to the Rolf Harris song goes. And oh, how I wish the specific kangaroo being denied its liberty had been Kao from Kao the Kangaroo round 2. However, for you to understand exactly why I might want to see this particular creature being lashed down by some burly Auzzie (as opposed to, say, just a general liking on my part for inflicting animal cru-elty), in the traditional fashion of reviews I'd best explain what's going on first.
Game Chronicles (Jun 20, 2006)
Oh no! At the beginning of Kao the Kangaroo Round 2, players find out that the wicked Hunter Barnaba is up to some nastiness in Kao's home, the Island World-- he's out to hunt down all the peaceful animal inhabitants with the help of some unpleasant magic and a few good henchmen. He's even captured the indomitable little boxing kangaroo himself --that is, until Kao's friend Parrot rescues him from his cage aboard a ship.

RYAN AP Special Correspondent The Russians have been cook- ing up a spicy diplomatic pud- ding. It bubbles with possibili- ties, but the proof of that pud- ding is still to come. Aggressive Kremlin diploma- cy, seems centered on removing threat.1; to peace on the Soviet doorstep in Asia. Success or failure may de- pend upon establishing domi- nant influence in North Viet Nam. If H current Soviet, mis- sion to Hanoi ihould be re- buffed, there would be little hope of anything but continued war in Indochina and tense So- viet-American relations at the moment may not be in the na- tional interests of either great power. A look at recent Soviet activi- ty suggests an atmosphere of urgency on the part of the So- viet party and government chiefs, as if they might be lay- ing their own leadership on the line.

Ciscoe Morris, Seattle Times garden writer, answers reader questions on moving rhododendrons, growing grafted tomatoes and protecting tomatoes from cold weather.
I receive a lot of questions from readers. As much as I try to answer them all individually, I can't get to all of them. From now on, I will devote every other column to your questions. I will not be stumped! Email your garden questions to firstname.lastname@example.com
Q: I have a large rhododendron that is blocking my view. Is it possible to move it and when is the best time to attempt it?
A: The best time to move a rhododendron is in spring or fall when conditions are cool and moist. They move easily, even when in full bloom, but never try to move one when it's putting out new spring growth. Big old rhodies can be incredibly heavy, so if you've got to move a honker, invite your strongest friends over by enticing them with the promise of a Brussels-sprouts casserole.
Begin by digging a wide trench around the shallow, tightly knit roots. Next dig underneath the plant while rocking it from side to side until the rootball breaks free. Now dig a gradual slope on one side of the trench and lay a big piece of plywood on the incline.

Place a blanket around the rootball and station your buffest friends on each end to use it to pull the rootball up the board and out of the hole. Now if you can figure out a way to move the beast across the garden, it's ready to go into its new home.
One last bit of advice: Don't feed your helpers until the work is done!
Q: What are grafted tomatoes, and are they really as good as they are hyped up to be?
A: Grafted tomatoes are the rage this year. They've been grown with great success in Asia and Europe, but time will tell if they live up to expectations here in the Pacific Northwest.
In a grafted tomato, a variety that produces high-quality fruit is grafted onto a vigorous rootstock known to develop deep roots and also has increased disease resistance and cold tolerance. If all the claims prove to be true, the increased cold tolerance should allow for earlier planting and extended harvest.
The deeper root system will increase water and nutrient uptake and therefore increase fruit production and quality.
Increased nutrient absorption should also reduce blossom end blight, a problem that causes the bottoms of tomatoes to rot. Late blight, the dreaded fungus disease that begins with black streaks, may even be reduced.
On a fun note, you can even get double grafts with two different tomato varieties on a single plant. It's certainly worth giving grafted tomatoes a try. Keep an eye out for them at plant sales or see if they are in stock at www.territorialseed.com.
Q: How can I protect my tomatoes if the weather remains cold?
A: Planted too early, and left unprotected, it only takes one night of temperatures in the low 40s to maim your tomato. Having said that, there are systems available that can protect tomatoes from cold and allow you to plant your tomatoes much earlier.
Tomato Greenhouse is a simple yet effective cover made of red perforated plastic. It comes in a 20-foot long, 28-inch wide sleeve which you simply cut to the desired length, slip over the standard-sized tomato cage and twist tie the top shut.
The plastic cover allows air and light into the plant while protecting it from cold and rain. The red tint hastens ripening and only needs to be removed in very hot weather. Put it back on in fall for a greatly extended harvest season.
If you really want to get the jump on nature, place a Kozy-Coat around your tomato plant. Also made of red plastic, Kozy-Coat comes with tubes that you fill with water that absorb heat during the day and give it back at night. It's purported to protect plants from temperatures dipping into the low 20s.
The red tint encourages earlier ripening, so you are practically guaranteed bragging rights for the first ripe tomato in the neighborhood. These products are available at www.territorialseed.com and other online-garden suppliers.

Family contends OSBI conducted poor inquiry
On a cold December evening in 2008, a passing motorist noticed what he thought was a drunk, passed out on the curb outside a home near Broken Arrow.
In 30-degree weather, the man was wearing jeans and thermal underwear, but no shirt.
The body of Justin Childress, 27, felt warm, but the passer-by couldn't find a pulse.
"It was too late," says Chanin Cutsinger, Childress' older sister, who rushed to the house after getting a frantic call from another family member.
With the crime scene outside of city limits, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation immediately took over the case, with the first detective arriving within two hours.
"Unfortunately," Cutsinger says, "if anybody in Oklahoma is counting on the OSBI to investigate anything, they're going to be sorely disappointed."Click here to read the complete article at Tulsaworld.com

You can donate to Frontiers Foundation through CanadaHelps.org. You will receive a charitable tax receipt for every donation.
We are looking for enthusiastic people to volunteer with Operation Beaver in Northern Canadian aboriginal communities.
With our compliments, please enjoy our latest quadrennial report herewith. Project AMIK II (on the cover) and AMIK III with a total of 42 all-aboriginal apartments in Toronto are breaking ground in the next weeks.
A 22-unit affordable housing development for Aboriginal households is moving ahead after receiving approval from the Ontario Municipal Board earlier this month—11 years after the project was first envisioned by New Frontiers Aboriginal Corporation. The organization, which opened its first affordable housing complex on Coxwell Avenue in 2002, has been looking for a new location for years. The St. Clair development will make a big difference at an individual scale, but do little to address the wider issue regarding the lack of affordable housing for vulnerable populations, said secretary-treasurer Charles Catto. "It will provide a home for 22 native households," he said. "It's just a drop in the bucket, but it's a start and hopefully it will provide some momentum." The OMB approval of the project at 3738 St.

YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Yakima County prosecutors have dropped a manslaughter charge against a Buena woman who had been accused of kicking her pregnant daughter and killing the fetus.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports (http://bit.ly/pBkFeL ) an autopsy showed the fetus died of a twisted umbilical cord, and not trauma from the blow.
The 49-year-old woman was jailed after the Aug. 24 fight with her 22-year-old daughter.

Fleet and flexible cgroups and Linux Containers
Virtual Host
The big virtualization tools like KVM and Xen can't compete on a small scale with resource-spare cgroups and Linux Containers.
Normally when I talk about virtualization in Linux, I go straight to system virtualization using tools like KVM or Xen, to name two. But some interesting options aren't quite as well known. One such example is cgroups [1] and Linux Containers [2] (LXC), which sits on top of cgroups. In a nutshell, LXC uses cgroups to create a restricted view of the host operating system. Within the LXC guest environment, you can only see what the admin allows you to see of the host system; you can have a separate process space, for example and also create a separate filesystem for the guest.
So why would you want to use a technology like LXC instead of a full system virtualization platform like KVM or Xen? LXC has several advantages: For one thing, it has virtually no overhead, and it provides a degree of flexibility because of its ability to share resources between
different LXC guests. (I know, these seem counterintuitive because the goal is to segregate them from each other,) Also, LXC supports not only virtualizing a running instance of an operating system (more on this later) but also individual applications, for which devoting an entire virtual machine is overkill. To see a good example of this, you can read more about what Google is doing with ChromeOS [3].

Peaceable Kingdom
Peace Coffee
2801 21st Ave. S. #120, Minneapolis
The Ethiopian in the air pot is labeled 8:30-- just about an hour and a half ago--but that's just not fresh enough for someone in the coffee business, so Scott Patterson brews a fresh pot of Guatemalan Dark. He's even picky about his mugs, digging through the employees' collection to find the two stoutest ones.
For fun, we search the illustrated wall charts for adjectives to describe the flavor notes. We agree on "honey," but he's tasting "leather" and "smoke," and I want to go with, well, "roasted coffee." Then I realize that, yeah, the Guat dark is hitting the back of my throat like a cigarette, so we add "tobacco" to the list. Of course, there's a cheat sheet that says this particular combination of beans and roast is supposed to bring to mind dark chocolate and cherries.
"Everybody's palate is different," Patterson says, displaying a remarkably forgiving attitude for somebody who's been in the coffee business for 10 years, as the director of Peace Coffee.
But don't mistake broad-mindedness for a cavalier attitude toward his stock in trade. Patterson knows coffee and he expects his employees to, too. His staff members attend weekly cuppings--coffee-tasting lessons hosted by the house roastmaster--and everybody from the marketing manager to the delivery guy can talk intelligently about the goods.
This happy band of bike-loving, fleece-and-flannel-wearing coffee purveyors could have lost it all in Hurricane Katrina. Peace Coffee's coffee-buying cooperative shipped its raw beans through New Orleans, the number one coffee port in the United States; they had almost a million dollars in beans stored in New Orleans's biggest warehouse.
"It was Monday morning and the hurricane hadn't hit yet, but we knew it was coming," Patterson says. "So I told T.J. [Semanchin, Peace Coffee's roastmaster] to just start buying all the Guatemalan he could get his hands on." Fortunately, their insurance covered their lost goods and the rush on beans and subsequent price spike Patterson was expecting never quite materialized. Business recovered easily and the raw beans now come through Montreal.
Peace Coffee got its start in 1996 when the Minneapolis-based Institute for Agricultural Trade Policy--champions of family farms around the world--found itself in possession of a lot of coffee and decided to make a go of selling it. Patterson came on as the company's first employee in 1997. "I managed inventory by going to the closet and dusting off the bags," he says. But he was persistent, recognizing that paying coffee growers a fair price serves not only a higher purpose, but a thirsty and growing market, as well.
As the client list lengthened, Patterson was soon spending one day a week in his car delivering coffee. Then two, then three. "It got to be a real drag," he says. When T.J. Semanchin joined the company, the two split the routes. As more folks came on board, it became a regular part of every employee's job to drive the coffee around to grocery stores and coffee shops.
Now the company has 12 employees, including Nick Johnson, a full-time delivery guy. He hooks a 400-pound trailer to his bike and rides up to 40 miles a day: "I can only go, what, eight miles an hour. Today's not bad. I just have to go to Uptown and back twice. And there's only one hill."
Semanchin took over as roastmaster in 2003, when Peace Coffee stopped contracting with a local roaster. "It was time for us to get closer to the product, take control of the quality," Patterson explains.
Semanchin's tools are a big old roaster (the same size, but less flashy than you might see in your local Dunn Bros.), an old PC that charts heat over roasting time (because how fast your coffee gets hot is as important as how hot it gets), and a roasting "playboard" showing his target heat and roasting times for each of today's batches of beans. He also keeps a close eye on the humidity and air pressure. "The weather changes every day, of course, but we're aiming for the same flavor in every batch," he says.
He sees the thermometer hit the number he's looking for, somewhere in the high 400s, and he pulls a tiny scoop out of the roaster to inspect the beans. Done. He opens the hopper and 50 pounds of beans slide into the cooling bin, where a rotating arm keeps them moving.
"You hear that? That popping? That's what we call the second crack." The beans are pinging faintly, a background crackling like distant fireworks. For a light roast, the roasting stops right at the first crack. For a medium roast like this, you stop at the second crack. At the third crack you've got burnt beans. "Yeah, that would be pure carbon," Semanchin says. "When you see a lot of oil and a lot of broken pieces mixed in with your beans, you've just got burnt beans. Of course, you see that. People will serve it. But we don't roast like that."
Semanchin and Patterson exchange looks. They know which local roasters they're talking about, but they're not naming names.
"T.J.'s getting to the point where he can taste in the cup things that are happening on the farm," Patterson says. He shows me bags of green beans from Sumatra, Ethiopia, and Guatemala. I can barely tell them apart, except for a slight bluish tint to the Ethiopian beans. But Patterson is running them through his fingers as if the minute differences in size and shape were perfectly obvious.
Peace Coffee ships 5,500 pounds of coffee every week out of its warehouse just off Hiawatha Avenue in south Minneapolis. Over the holidays they hit 7,000 pounds a week. (That's almost half a million shots of espresso, by the way.) And they do it with just 12 people in a room about half the size of a basketball court. According to Patterson, the company is growing about 20 to 25 percent a year and he expects to maintain that pace in 2006. "It's like riding a bucking bronco," he says. "That's my analogy right now. It's taken off and I'm just trying to stay on the bull."
Most of the coffee goes to Minnesota grocery stores and coffee shops, but a U.S. map in the main office is covered with pins, with noticeable hubs around San Francisco, Boulder, and the Northeast megalopolis.
All of the coffee is organic, shade-grown, and fair trade. What does "fair trade" mean? According to the Fair Trade Federation, the world's largest association of fair trade organizations, it means paying fair prices for goods produced in cooperative workplaces with an eye toward environmental sustainability and preserving cultural identity.
While coffee trades on the New York commodities exchange for about a dollar or so a pound, the fair trade price the world over is $1.26 per pound. Add in 10 cents to cover organic certification costs and another five as a "solidarity premium," you get to $1.41 per pound. But Cooperative Coffees, the coffee-buying cooperative to which Peace Coffee belongs, recently boosted that price to $1.50 per pound to cover some extra costs associated with organic certification for their growers.
In short, Peace Coffee pays about one and a half times what your average coffee roaster is paying for its beans, and even more than some of its fair trade competitors. (You can get fair trade coffee just about anywhere these days--at Starbucks, Bruegger's, even McDonald's, which serves fair trade coffee from Green Mountain roasters at locations on the East Coast.) What's more, Patterson is proud that his employees make right about the median hourly wage in Minnesota, currently about $16 an hour. And yet Peace Coffee sits right at the middle of the price scale for upscale coffees, at about $10 a pound.
One of the things that makes that possible is operating on the same cooperative model as the coffee-growing co-ops from which they buy their coffee, says Patterson. "We weren't going to be one of those guys who just goes down to our local importer and says, 'We'll take a bag of that and a bag of that and it's all fair trade, right? Wink wink,'" he says. "But it was just killing us, trying to do all the paperwork and all the importing ourselves. And we had to buy in much bigger quantities than we needed."
So in 1999, Peace Coffee and some like-minded roasters started Coffee Co-ops, essentially a buying club for small, independent shops. The co-op can buy whole containers full of coffee, more than any of its members could. Peace Coffee is the largest member and Patterson sits on the board; other employees serve on other committees, keeping them very connected to the source of their coffee. Peace Coffee employees regularly travel to Guatemala, Mexico, Ethiopia, and elsewhere to see how things are going on the ground and build relationships with growers.
"You hear roasters say, 'There's not enough fair trade out there.' But that's not how it works," Patterson says. "Fair trade is coffee you paid a fair price for. It's about sustainable agriculture and making it possible for family farmers to stay on their land."
At Peace Coffee, it also means a slightly different way of doing business.
In the Peace Coffee office, Nate Stevens, in charge of customer service, sits at the front desk. He's got a handful of people on hold, but he's still cool and professional when he explains, "No, we really couldn't put our beans in cloth bags. Yeah, I understand that plastic is not the most environmentally friendly, but we're trying to maintain a certain level of freshness and some shelf life. Yeah, we're always looking for ways to reduce our footprint. I really appreciate your calling. Thanks!" And he's sincere, friendly, and unharried as he says it. Then he takes another woman off hold and gets her credit card number for a 10-pound order.
