„The CREMA (Contrato de Recuperación y Mantenimiento) is a combined Rehabilitation and Maintenance Contract that requires the Contractor to rehabilitate and subsequently maintain a sub-network of roads under a lump sum contract for a total period of five years. In contrast with the km/month contract, the CREMA system applies to a paved sub-network, which needs to be rehabilitated over part of its length and subsequently maintained over the whole of its length. Rehabilitation works include either resurfacing with slurry seals and surface dressing or overlays with asphalt concrete or reconstruction of the base and wearing course. These works are carried out during the first year of the contract while maintenance activities (patching potholes, cleaning drainage systems, renewing horizontal and vertical signs, clearing roadsides, etc.) are undertaken throughout the 5-year contract period.“

CoffeeGeek - Notes from the Road - a Coffee Trip
„The Barista comes with one of those spring loaded nightmare portafilters, guaranteed to spit out something that looks just like crema, no matter how crappy your beans are, how badly they’re ground etc. The first indication that this stuff isn’t crema is the fact that it disappears faster than the head on a warm Diet Coke. The second indication is, of course, the oh so bitter flavor of the beverage. This is in spite of ultra fresh beans (three days old) and a good vigorous tamp.“

„Her: Do you have any bagels? Vinnie: (who has been listening all along) I'm sorry, ma'am, we're all out of decaf bagels. Her: Oh, well, then I'll have one of those, with sesame seeds. Vinnie: We're all out, ma'am.“

„ Also, keep display shelves well lit, clean and clearly marked, and be sure to price everything. This way someone doesn't decide on a set of coffee cups only to find they're too expensive. Lastly, rotate and reposition your merchandise regularly. If something isn't selling well, it may because your customers haven't noticed it.“

„Imagine you're a 22-year-old "green" rookie fresh from college, and with pounding heart you show up for the first day of work at the local prestigious coffee importing firm. The cupping room will be your stomping grounds for the next year, and your senses already have a ball with the intense fragrance of some Indonesian beans and the sweet aroma of a few African coffees that were just ground and cupped by your new patrons. Innocently, you ask them where to start and all fingers point to the dirty, slimy, brown liquid that has filled up the copper spittoon.“
