Commercial Crop

 The major types of commercial coffee are the arabicas and the robustas. In the western hemisphere the arabicas are subdivided into Brazils and milds. Robustas are produced in the eastern hemisphere exclusively, together with substantial quantities of arabicas. The Brazils consist principally of Santos, Paran�, and Rio, named for the ports from which they are shipped. Milds are identified by the names of countries or districts in which they are grown, such as Medell�n, Armenia, and Manizales coffees from Colombia. Robustas and other arabicas are similarly identified. Green coffee is a major import of the United States; about two-thirds of the 1.2 million metric tons comes from Central and South America, with Brazil and Colombia the two largest suppliers.
Several varieties of green coffee usually are blended and roasted together to produce the tastes, aromas, and flavors popular with consumers. As a rule the beans are heated in rotating, horizontal drums that provide a tumbling action to prevent uneven heating or scorching. Temperatures for roasting range from about 193� C (about 380� F) for a light roast, through about 205� C (about 400� F) for a medium roast, to about 218� C (about 425� F) for a dark roast. The roasted beans are cooled rapidly. Roasted coffee may be packaged and shipped to retail stores, which custom grind it for the customers on purchase, or it may be ground in plate- or roller-type grinding mills before shipment.
Ground coffee loses its unique flavor within about a week unless it is specially packaged. Plastic-and-paper combinations are popular packaging media that afford protection to freshly roasted and ground coffee. Hermetically sealed vacuum, or pressure, cans keep coffee fresh for up to three years.
popular as the monks found that it helped keep them awake during long hours of prayer.

I am a portrait and wedding photographer who works out of my home or on location. I am offering a FREE sitting and an 8X10 portrait to bring awareness to my photography.
I am also doing a program called Picture Parties. This is a great options for families with small children or what ever the situation my warrant.  It's like a Tupperware party. The host invites a few friends to their house or location of their choosing, such as a park. I come with my assistant and we take portraits for them, free of charge. We will post them on a website where the participants can order photos. For every $100 in sales the host gets $10 in photo credits. My temporary website is www.myspace.com/ourfamilyphoto
