EXTRA HOT COFFEE SERVED BY BIKINI BARISTAS
Bikini Coffee Babes
This Arizona company can offer you an extra hot coffee in the morning - served by bikini-wearing baristas.
Bikini Beans is a coffee outlet in Phoenix, Arizona, where all the servers are dressed for the beach.
It claims to offer a relaxed beach atmosphere along with each espresso, and the unusual uniform is a key part.
Ben Lyles, 30, founded the chain with his wife Regina, 29, three years ago.
Ben said: “My wife and I are from Seattle, which really is coffee central. Regina worked join numerous coffee shops. When we moved to Arizona we transitioned from rain to the sun, and it seemed like the perfect location to bring our concept to. We wanted a coffee store that had the relaxed feeling of being on a beach and all the fun that goes with that. Of course, bikinis are a part of that too. Most of our customers are drive through customers, but we also have outdoor seating areas with sun umbrellas and music in the background.”
Ben claims the coffee shop was a hit from the start, and they quickly opened a second store near the University of Arizona.
Having spent time consolidating the business, he and Regina are now looking to open another two or three stores.
Ben claims the company is built around strong social values.
According to the couple, they offer their 30 employees a chance to develop a strong work ethic and a sense of empowerment.
They receive a “large number” of applications to work at the store, but say they are very careful about who they choose.
Employees have to have the right attitude to work at Bikini Beans.

To some David Icke is a charismatic rebel fighting against the unseen powers which rule the world.
To others he is a dubious figure deserving of scorn and ridicule.
But whatever you may think of him, David is one of the world’s most prominent conspiracy theorists and has a global following to match.
His controversial claims include that the world is run by a secret cabal of alien lizards who appear to us as well-known public figures.
But there is more to him than meets the eye,
Long before his theories became public he was a professional footballer and, later, a prime-time BBC presenter and journalist.
So is he just another conspiracy crank? Or something else entirely?

Machete - Will this cause a race war in light of AZ law?
Machete is an upcoming action exploitation film, directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis. The film will star Danny Trejo in his first lead role as the title character. The film also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Cheech Marin, Lindsay Lohan, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal, Robert De Niro, Jeff Fahey, Cheryl Chin and Rose McGowan. The film is an expansion of a fake trailer Rodriguez directed for the 2007 film Grindhouse and centers around the character of Machete Cortez, who previously appeared as the uncle of the protagonists in the more family friendly Spy Kids films. Filmed in autumn 2009, the movie will be released in the United States on September 3, 2010 by 20th Century Fox.
In the trailer for the film, the title character is hired to assassinate an anti-immigration U.S. senator played by Robert De Niro. Protesters are seen waving nationalist signs as the senator speaks to a charged-up rally: We are at war, he booms. Every time an illegal dances across our border, it is an act of aggression against this sovereign state — an overt act of terrorism.
But before the trailer even begins, the battle-scarred title character stares out from the screen as he tells viewers that what's about to unfold — an immigration-laced slasher grindhouse flick — is about the current border battle in Arizona.
The trailer was released Wednesday, just 24 hours after an envelope filled with a still-undetermined white powder was sent to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, temporarily closing the State Capitol in Phoenix. The powder spilled out when a staffer opened it Tuesday morning, sending Hazmat teams scrambling through the governor's offices. No one was sickened, but state police and the FBI are investigating the incident.
It was just the latest development in a debate that is growing more rancorous by the minute.
Some outspoken critics of illegal immigration took umbrage at the movie trailer and its swipe at Arizona, which is the entry point for one-third of all illegal immigrants in the U.S.
In Machete, the protagonist, played by Danny Trejo, is a former Mexican Federale now looking for work as a day laborer in Texas. He charges $70 a day for yard work, but an oily businessman makes him an offer he can't refuse: $150,000 to take out a senator bent on deporting illegal immigrants.
The film, which is set to be released Sept. 3, is produced by 20th Century Fox, a production company owned by News Corp., which also owns Fox News and NewsCore.
Through a representative, 20th Century Fox said that Rodriguez speaks for himself on political issues. The studio approved the release of the movie trailer on Cinco De Mayo, but it said it has no political stake in the immigration debate.
Representatives for Rodriguez did not return requests for comment. But the head of the production studio handling the international release of the film said Machete is a classic grindhouse picture typical of the man who made Desperado and Sin City.

Incredible moment forklift driver causes an entire warehouse to collapse when he bumps into shelf
This is the bizarre moment a luckless forklift truck driver flattens an entire warehouse - after gently nudging a shelving unit.
The amazing footage shows the driver carefully reversing his vehicle between two towering racks packed with industrial pallets.
Then as he drives towards the camera he swerves ever so slightly to his right and taps one of the metal racks with his truck.
Within a split second, the entire unit collapses showering the driver and two of his workmates in cardboard boxes.
Some kind of white material is seen spilling from the packaging, which was being stored at an unknown location.
Then in domino fashion the rest of the shelving units start to tumble one-by-one until just one rack remains standing.

Road to Applecross | Scottish Highlands & Islands Travelogue 2018 | S1E12
After a very comfortable night and delicious Highland Breakfast at the Harbour House Hotel in Ullapool, we head off on the scenic coastal drive to Applecross, about 120 miles on the route we took.
Along the way we briefly stop at a number of scenic points, starting with Dundonell and then Badcaul on Little Loch Broom, before heading down to Gruinard with its famously pink sand.
What we didn't know at the time (only discovered when doing the research for this video) is that Gruinard Island, only half a mile from the mainland, was the home to the infamous World War 2 era Anthrax experiment! The whole island was infected with Anthrax and remained off-limits to humans until 1987 when any remaining Anthrax was destroyed by saturating the Island with a combination of Formaldehyde and Sea Water. It is regarded as safe today.
From Gruinard we continue down the coast to the lochside town of Gairloch, where we grab a coffee and enormous cakes at the Mountain Coffee Company.
From Gairloch, we head inland to drive through the spectacularly scenic Glen Torridon up toward the Loch Torridon overlook. We would highly recommend Glen Torridon, we didn't stop as we drove through but plenty of hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities were in evidence as we passed.
Next to the picture-perfect town of Sheildaig on Loch Torridon, with the tree-covered Sheildaig Island (and not Torridon Island as incorrectly stated in the video) sitting right in the middle of the loch.
From Sheildaig we take the coastal road to Applecross. There's a faster inland route, but this coastal route is not to be missed! It is a winding single track road that runs, for much of its length, along the cliff top adjacent to the Inner Sound, on the opposite side of which lies the Inner Hebridean island of Raasay.
We finally reach Applecross, which as it turns out is both the name of the village containing the Applecross Inn and adjacent Applecross Campground and the name of the whole peninsula. This might go some way to explaining why the Applecross Village Shop is not actually in the village of Applecross but actually seems to be nearer the village of Camusteel, two villages away. Locally, what's labeled on some maps as Applecross Village is known as Shore Street, and the Applecross name is not used to refer to Shore Street. In any case, the Applecross Village Shop has very limited opening hours during the October-March season (we should have looked this up ahead of time), opening only 4 days per week for about 4 hours in the morning; accordingly, our quest to purchase supplies at the local shop denied, we head back to Applecross Campground and make the short walk down to Shore Street and had a great dinner at Applecross Inn before heading up to camp, where hopefully the wind will stay calm overnight ...
