Going to site, one gets to zoom in and see a boat or its wake in the water, from space!

Beverage Museums?

Now, i know there is a beer museum somewhere, and i was actually going to look that up!

i asked myself why though?

For i do not drink alcohol and i tire of those who speak of cheap alcoholic drinks, gourmet alcoholic drinks as ‘must visit’ spots!

So why join them?

Not mentioned are the Soda & the Chocolate places!

(i wonder if they have museums too?)

Marietta’s Soda Museum closes after 15 years

The Chocolate Museum-Jacques Torres -NY

about 55 Chocolate Museums listed, Wikipedia, worldwide

(i do not drink any of these regularly, soda, i haven’t done in awhile and me drinking it is a rarity (usually fast food), a corner store solution.

There are other drinks in the world worth investigating! 😀

Enjoy!

Strikes, Work Stoppages in Washington State Fields, Indicate Changing Agricultural Labor

The Owners of the fields say that they are required by law, to advertise locally, before recruiting outside of the US, so the Owners claim that they are NOT trying to outsource labor, the Owners claim that there IS NO LABOR here in the US.

(My question is why don’t they advertise and recruit as strongly here in the US? I can imagine many here in the US do not want to be treated as BADLY as these foreign workers are. For all the talk of how expensive hiring foreign workers are, it is STILL not as expensive as the subsequent loss of business due to Owners working environments! The resulting lawsuits/class action suits and pull out of orders is coming ANYWAY! Due to those who are beginning to understand the rights given them by this country.

It is easy to take advantage of those who do not understand their rights.

For make notice of the fact that not a peep is heard from the workers at MUCH LARGER companies! (For the same and worse happens there, with the Larger companies more effective at keeping EVERYONE quite.

Since the program mentioned here is so high, soon our food supplies will be in the hands of these Larger Companies who sweep abuse and mistreatment of their workers under the rug, while Smaller Companies die out, from the loss of crops.)

8 Reasons Why This Hotel is Different

The new EVEN Hotel is unlike any place you’ve ever stayed—and its goal is to let you visit a city without undoing your healthy lifestyle.

Source: 8 Reasons Why This Hotel is Different

Travel almost always derails the hard work and commitment we have to wellness at home. Without our usual gym, healthy home-cooked meals and quiet time, it’s hard to stay on track. The new EVEN Hotel located at Times Square South is unlike any place you’ve ever stayed—and its goal is to let you visit a new city without undoing all the hard work of your healthy lifestyle.

<3pm checkout! awesome! (NY site)Ex1321 Green certified?

with a helpful menu key, you can discern which items are protein-filled, have calming elements or are completely vegan.

2. They have gym classes and guided morning runs.

If the great outdoors is more your setting, get a workout wakeup call with one of the hotel’s scheduled morning runs along the Hudson River.

3. Your room includes a signature EVEN Hotels trainer with core, cardio and strength options.

Going to the gym not your thing? Each guest room is equipped with an In-Room Training Zone that includes a yoga mat, foam roller, resistance bands, yoga block, exercise ball and an eight-foot-tall trainer. Even the television in your room has workout videos (with the Biggest Loser’s Jen Widerstrom!) programmed on the main screen.

4. All natural, spa-like products are waiting for you.

EVEN Hotels stocks EO products. The plant-based health and beauty items have refreshing scents made up of essential oils. There are even two choices of shower gel: Energizing Grapefruit and Mint and Calming Coconut and Vanilla.

5. The interior décor is inspired by natural elements.

6. High-tech room lighting lets you control the color. 

ED mood lighting runs along the top of the headboard and can be controlled with a bedside remote. From soothing blue to bright red—pick whatever color matches your mood.

7. Stand-up desks provide a better workspace.

The hotel’s designers made sure to factor in an ergonomically designed workspace for each room. Opt for a movable desk or choose to stretch your legs with a stand-up desk. Whiteboards are also in the room, making it easy to conquer any business needs that may arise during your stay.

<This sounds SO awesome! It’ll be a vacation just to stay there!>

8. Drinking at their bar reduces your carbon footprint for the day.

The spot is stocked with Greenbar Craft Distillery Spirits, an organic liquor company that is passionate about the environment. For every bottle purchased, the Los Angeles-based company plants a tree. By drinking their spirits, you will actually produce a negative carbon footprint for the day.
