Passenger numbers fall at Southampton airport due to Euro traffic slump
1:31pm Tuesday 12th June 2012 in Business By Matt Smith, Politics and business reporter
PASSENGER numbers at Southampton Airport fell by 4.7 per cent last month.
A total of 150,471 passengers passed through the airport's terminals in May, down from 157,942.
Airport operator BAA said it was due largely to an 8.3 per cent drop in European scheduled traffic.
Southampton Airport managing director Dave Lees said: "2012 has been a mixed year for Southampton so far with some months being in growth and others being down.
"However, we anticipate that the year will be overall very similar to last year. "Several new routes have been announced for the summer including Barcelona which starts June 23, Ibiza which started last week and Tours in the Loire Valley."
The airport handled 1.76m passengers last year. Its best year was 2007 when it welcomed 1.97m passengers.
Across BAA's five other airports, more than 5.8 million passengers passed through Heathrow's terminals last month, a fall of 0.6 per cent compared with May 2011.
Airport operator BAA said the fall was largely due to last year's late Easter and Royal Wedding which boosted traffic in May 2011, whilst the move of the late May bank holiday into June this year reduced May 2012's traffic figures.
Passenger numbers at Glasgow rose almost 10 per cent, whilst Aberdeen saw passenger numbers rise nearly 16 per cent and Edinburgh handled 2.2 per cent more passengers compared with last year.
The Scottish airports all saw their performance affected by cancellations in May last year due to the volcanic ash cloud.
Stansted saw passengers numbers fall 5.5 per cent with European scheduled and long haul traffic most affected.

This is why all the tour companies (Thompson. First Choice etc) are opting to give their business to Bournmouth.
If Southampton Airport is to remain competitive, perhaps it should ignore all the complaints of people who knowingly bought their property under the flight paths, expand the airport and boost the business for the benefit of the City.

Poured into a Dogfish Head pint glass. Pours a medium mahogany amber with a massive off-white head with good retntion and lacing. Aroma of cherries, light fruit, malt with a hint of caramel, saison style yeast. Flavor is surprisingly subdued after the aroma, light fruit and cherries, a bit tart and slightly acidic, probably from the buckwheat. Light malt. Finishes light and bit dry. Light bodied, but decent mouth feel from carbonation. A quite unusual ale, the flavors are pleasant and interesting, but too attenuated. I'm really glad I tried this and would like to see the other ales from this brewery. This is very badly categorized here as a witbier. It is fairly dark colored, slightly hazy, but not cloudy, does not have much wheat presence (wheat could be a component, but it is taking a back seat to buckwheat), witbier spicing, if present is not detectable. I find no witbier characteristics to this ale. I'm listing it as Belgian dark ale in my records, which fits this more adequately. Except for the dark color, it is most similar in flavor, aroma and mouth feel to a saison.

A 750 ml bottle.
Pours a dark clear brown with very bubbly head that breaks up quickly and leaves a clear top with no lacing.
Nose is fruity maybe plums or cherries.
Taste is not what I would call a witbier(at least the ones i have had) This reminds me more of a dubbel. It is loaded with dark fruit tastes such as dark cherry and plums. Some earthiness is also mixed in. Carbonation is pretty strong.
Overall this is a very nice beer.

Pours auburn with a 2 finger fluffy head. Highly carbonated.
Aroma is quite strong, but hard to place. Definitely some wheat.
Taste is wheat, spices, malt, fruit. Some graininess.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and dry.
Overall, a very good beer. Quite refreshing.

750ml corked and caged bottle picked up because it seems to be the only buckwheat beer ive ever heard of. drank out of my samuel adams perfect pint glass. the brewed on date on the label's options is either 2008 or 2009. nothing is marked. thanks! glad they included that on there.
A- this one pours a darker than expected dark brown colored body with a large beige head. the head lasts for a while, and leaves behind large globs of lacing.
S- the smell is more complex than your average wit. there is a certain detectable level of the barnyard funk and green apple skin. there is also some rye malt and banana/clove spiciness in here. a little bit of sourness is perceived. earthy hops at the end.
T- the taste starts out with some of the barnyard funk that i picked up on in the nose. i had no idea that this was in here. infection? it seems to work pretty well. some banana, clove, black pepper, and coriander. slightly roasted malts. light milk chocolate. a little bit of green apple skin. definite rye tasting malt. slightly sour, bot nothing near puckering. light earthy and spicy hops at the end.
M- the body is thin and almost watery. the carbonation is very high with a pretty dry finish to it.
O- this was an interesting beer. either it was old, infected, intentionally wild, or the buckwheat added that extra wild aspect to it. regardless, it seemed to work well. very subtle. nothing was over the top. the flavors worked in harmony. this was an impulse buy that i will pick up again. maybe even let it linger in the cellar for a while.

High foam on top of a lovely gold cloudy ale.
So, the smell... Very interesting, really the yeast is dominating this nose. Sitrus, gras, it almost reminded me of a lambic.
It follows the nose on the taste; Sitrus, gras, a floral component as well. Alot of accidity, which is nice, but not very balanced. It´s just to much in the start.
Also, the carbon dioxide dies a few second after it´s in the mouth, making it seem even higher on the accidity.
For me, this is a pass. I have had a growing love for witbier the last year, but this was just to unbalansed for me.

Poured from a 750mL bottle into my Troubadour tulip glass. Bottled in either 2007 or 2008, unknown lot number. I would be reluctant to call this a witbier - they are usually 50:50 wheat:malt - while this is 25:75 buckwheat:malt.
Dark auburn liquid with chocolate and copper highlights. Light tan or dark wheat colored foam which starts off dense and tall, receding to a small layer of suds punctuated by hundreds of tiny pin-holes. Head grows with agitation, and leaves thin rivulets of lacing rushing back into the glass. Average retention, eventually receding to a decent collar surrounding a skin of bubbles. Oily legs, a nice surprise for the low ABV.
Citrus and malt aromas combine with a faint musty note suggestive of hay.
Lightly tart on the palate with carmel and mild roast malt notes. Buckwheat adds a rich complexity - distinctive slightly sour flavor like a well-tended buckwheat/sourdough starter. Mellow finish, a touch bittersweet but dry overall.
A bit undercarbonated, possibly due to age. No real warmth or astringency.
Drinkability is quite high, though a lack of effervescence diminishes things a bit.
Silenrieux's "health food" marketing angle has turned me off in the past, but Sara is an interesting beer whether or not it is actually a re-invention of a historic farmhouse recipe.

a- rich almost dunkel hefe appearance, with a brownish head, that lasts, with sticky lacing.
s- almost like rotting fruit....compost....i think this bottle was damaged...no bueno.
t- very sugary, tart, caramely, and again rotting fruit.
m- thick, chewy and warm.
d- overall this was a drain pour. i tried my hardest to keep the numbers above "2" for the sake of this being a ruined bottle. oi.

Pours a walnut brown with a frothy tan head full of tight carbonation bubbles leaving only a faint lacing in its path.
Scent is of sweet dark fruits, likely dark berries or cherries, some faint sugars, and grain.
Caramel or molasses flavor with again dark berries in the aftertaste and wheat/grain to follow.
Thinner body, but generous carbonation, not too much beyond that.
Unique for its style, varied palate, and enjoyable overall.

Organic certified.
A: Poured a darken cranberry-mahogany color with a huge rocky and fully lasting beige head.
S: yeasty with light wildflowers and a fresh buckwheat grain notes.
T: started out malty with warm fresh buckwheat notes. The beer progress to a sweet and spicy fruitiness (melons, apricots, pears) for a tangy finish. Upon warming there were rich caramel apple notes, as well cola being detected. The palate was lively and different from the buckwheat malting giving it a fresh dark and grainy malt flavor while the yeast finished things out with a nice fruity complexity.
M: full bodied, syrupy, and warming, with a soft carbonation and alcohol spicy sweetness (cinnamon, dark molasses). There were slight hints of acidity and carbonation after the swallow.
D: Overall a great grain palate with fruity/yeasty attributes making for a very good drink.

Amber to light copper in color, hazy, and an average white head. Aromas of overripe apples, vegetable, honey, and toasted grains. Lemony citrus from the beginning and slowly incorporates that overripe apple. Lightly toasted grains, light caramel, tea, touch of molasses, organic, earthy character from the buckwheat maybe, throughout and some spices hit late. Finishes lemony with that funky apple flavor and something else that reminds me of an old refrigerator smell but not that unpleasant. A little thick and carbonation dies too soon but still alright.

I split the 750 bottle with Stopper.
Poured at cellar temp into a snifter the beer is VERY Foamy even with gentle pouring. A creamy beige head foams up and fades slowly leaving tight lattice work on the glass. The beer is a hazy dark mahogany color with garnet highlights. Aroma is fruity with some berry notes and general sweet spiciness. Smooth silky texture with fine rolling carbonation. Flavor is generally sweet and spicy but is overall very mild. Very easy drinker, not a complex beer but pretty good.

Corked and caged bottle with no date markings on the side. VERY strong head forming beer here pour with caution.
Clear very dark brownish red colored beer with a very strong light brown colored head. Not a typical Witbier at all.
Smell is very herbal and a little soapy smelling. There is a little malt scent here if you try hard enough for it sort of a light brown sugar scent.
The taste starts out dry and spitzy with a high carbonation and dry. There is a spicy and fruity aftertaste that is rather nice. There is a little sweetness and a fairly astringent aftertaste at the very end. Nicely spicy and not just another witbier this UNIQUE! Bit of molasses and vanilla and hay in the aftertaste here lots of complexity but it is all in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel is good.
I like this stuff rather a lot but it isn't a usual Witbier at all really in its own beer category. A drier dark witbier for most any occasion, I would use this for anything a Saison would work.

3.13/5 rDev -11.6%
A - Three fingers of light tan head settles slowly and leaves thick, fluffy lace. Body is dark brown with ruby highlights and excellent clarity.
S - Dark malt, lots of molasses. Dark spices, allspice and nutmeg. Slightly sour, musky aroma in the background.
T - Earthy, wheat like flavor. Herbal flavors, mostly juniper. A bit of weak fruitiness, grapelike.
M - Moderate carbonation, thin body.
D - This is a strange one. Somehow the flavors of this beer are both weak and strong at the same time. It is kind of watery, but it has some distinct herbal flavors. The aroma is a bit unpleasant and the flavor doesn't do enough to redeem it. Overall I can't say I really enjoyed this one.
If I was going to try this beer again (which is unlikely) I might try pairing it with venison as the herbal, juniper flavors could make a good match.

"It's really been a team effort and I don't know, we've just been putting it together."
Colin Jamison is a junior and has three years of high school soccer under his belt. Tyus Groos is a senior playing his first and only season on the pitch. Together, they've put the ball at the back of the net, time and time again.
"It's tough but it's basically the touch," Jamison said. "You just hope to get a good touch. You try to keep it close to your feet so that you can just explode through. But there's a lot of feet in there and hopefully you can just catch a good break."
Groos decided to play soccer during the summer, after spending freshman and sophomore year on the football team and his junior year healing an injury.
"I have always been playing soccer," Groos said. "My siblings and stuff all played through Pacelli and I just wanted to switch it up a bit my senior year and see what I can do on the soccer field."
Jamison says that Groos is so fast that he's difficult to keep up with.
"We lost some people, but we gained some people like Tyus, he's been playing great this year," Jamison said.
Groos only adds to the power Jamison brings up top.
"He's able to score, he's able to make good decisions. In our last game he had the game winner," Groos said. "He's got a great shot, it's nice to have him up top."

High Court to weigh abortion clinic buffers

WASHINGTON (BP) -- The U.S. Supreme Court has accepted an appeal of a Massachusetts law that restricts pro-life advocates from standing within 35 feet of an abortion clinic.
A federal appeals court in January upheld the abortion clinic buffer zone law, saying it protected the rights of patients while also ensuring pro-life advocates could exercise their First Amendment rights.
An attorney for the seven Massachusetts residents challenging the 2007 law, though, said it's nearly impossible for pro-life advocates to speak with women entering a clinic from such a distance.
Life Legal Defense Foundation, which filed a friend of the court brief arguing the buffer zone is unconstitutional, said it was "delighted that the Court is going to weigh in on this clear case of viewpoint discrimination."
"Activists who make disturbances at military funerals, animal rights protests, and 'occupy' demonstrations are not bound by the sort of restrictions applied to peaceful pro-life witnesses who invite women to learn about abortion alternatives," Dana Cody, the foundation's executive director, said after the Supreme Court reported June 24 it would hear the case. "It's a true double standard and an unbelievable violation of First Amendment rights."
The First Circuit Court of Appeals, in its decision, compared pro-life speech to sexually-oriented businesses by saying just as adult bookstores and theaters have harmful "secondary effects" that allow cities to impose special zoning restrictions, pro-life sidewalk counseling and picketing have harmful "secondary effects."
"In fact, what governments most fear about pro-life speech is not any 'secondary effect,'" Cody said in a news release. "It is that women heading into clinics are hearing the truth about abortion."
Cody noted that San Francisco, Chicago and other cities also have imposed similar laws to restrict pro-life speech and should take notice that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case.
"We are optimistic that the court will not only strike down the Massachusetts law but also revisit some of its own prior precedents that have led lower courts to believe that, as a matter of law, pro-life speech is less deserving of protection," Cody said.
Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, whose office has defended the law, said in a statement, according to Boston.com, "The Massachusetts buffer zone law strikes the appropriate balance to ensure a woman's right to safe access to health care facilities while preserving First Amendment rights. We look forward to defending this vitally important legislation before the Supreme Court."
Oral arguments in the case, McCullen v. Coakley, are expected next year.

With five players scoring in double figures, the West Virginia women's basketball team defeated Mount St. Mary's 94-32 Tuesday at the WVU Coliseum.
"Overall, I was pleased," coach Mike Carey said. "I thought they came out with a little bit of attitude. I want a little bit of attitude on this team. It was good to see a couple of players dive on the floor that have not. It was good to see somebody other than Jess Harlee take a charge and that's what we have to get. We have to get four, five, six or seven of them that are going to take charges, dive on the floor and will execute at the end of the game in a close game."
Sophomore guard Taylor Palmer paved the way with a game-leading 21 points, shooting 50 percent from the field (7-14) and four 3-pointers. Behind Palmer, redshirt-sophomore Christal Caldwell broke out a career-best 17 points on 8-of-16 shooting and junior Asya Bussie recorded 13 points. Sophomore Jess Harlee and freshman Linda Stepney rounded out the top five scorers with 10 points each. Sophomore Brooke Hampton added another eight points, including a pair of threes, and also dished out eight assists.
"Taylor Palmer shot well from the perimeter. I wanted to get the ball inside a little bit more than what we did and the second half I thought we did better job getting the ball inside. (Christal) Caldwell attacked tonight and was not so tentative," Carey said. "Linda Stepney attacked a little bit and wasn't so tentative so that was good to see. It also good to get a lot of people playing time going into break."
Caldwell stepped up to lead the Mountaineers (8-3) in rebounding with nine boards. WVU took a 46-21 rebounding advantage over The Mount (5-5). The Mountaineers also forced 25 Mount St. Mary's turnovers and limited their own to 13. WVU had 12 steals, led by Stepney, who grabbed four, and had seven team blocks behind Natalie Burton's four.
The Mountaineers shot 60 percent (36-60) from the floor, 64 percent (16-25) from 3-point range and 42.9 percent (6-14) from the free throw line. The Mount shot 23.9 percent from the field, 23.5 percent (4-17) from beyond the arc and 60 percent (6-10) from the free throw line.
Mount St. Mary's was led by Ashley Christie, who had 10 points, and Jessie Kaufman chipped in another nine.
WVU returns to the court, Wednesday, Dec. 28 as it takes on Bucknell in a noon game.

OC Digital Studio Launches Video Production Studio in Mission Viejo
OC Digital Studio has opened in Mission Viejo and offers a turnkey video production studio for professional broadcasting, commercial and corporate video production and live streaming events. The facility offers state-of-the-art virtual sets which can be customized to client needs, full post production capability and the ability to stream events live over the Internet.
OC Digital Studio has already attracted a weekly internationally broadcast television program.
MoneyTV with Donald Baillargeon, which is distributed to more than 150 million television households in 75 countries, has begun producing its weekly show at OC Digital Studio. The financial talk show is set in a high-rise office building overlooking Wall Street and the NYSE, utilizing digital technology. " It is an amazing look", said Baillargeon, whose program has been on the air for more than 17 years, "We were pleasantly surprised to learn of such a professionally equipped and crewed facility here in South Orange County."
OC Digital Studio can create sets that look like any national network show. The look and feel is completely authentic.
According to Avi Chalid, creator and owner of OC Digital Studio, professionals, broadcasters, bloggers, and organizations seeking to stream video online, produce live events, and expand production capabilities are realizing that video production has evolved as a result of digital production technology. "More viewers are watching online than ever before", said Chalid, "and the need for quality programming is on the rise; companies need to stand out, and look outstanding, too."
OC Digital Studio was originally conceived to create advertising content for Chalid's real estate firm, producing online content to inform and educate the consumers who are buying and selling a home. "Video offers quick real estate information about topics that would be of interest to the home buyers and seller's that are of the YouTube generation," Chalid said. "We are setting the stage for the millennial audience and handheld device users".

When Old Becomes New.
I'm a very big proponent of sifting through your closet and clearing out/giving away what you haven't worn in the last year. But there are exceptions. I pulled out these fabulous orange pants today from the back of my dresser. I haven't worn them in two years or so. But I keep them for special days when life needs a bit of color. I'm donning them with a bright green, red & blue shirt from my favorite girls next door (Selena-7, Alexandra-3, and Karolina-1.) I LOVE it!
I was home in MN recently and dug through my MOM's closet and found some amazing 70′s wear. In fact, I found this orange jump-suit number that is to die for! My mom was definitely a head-turner in this outfit with her long, feathered hair. Don't ask me where I'll wear it, but I'll think of something. Last year Jason and I went to the "ROCK OF AGES" TONY Awards Party and I wore Grandma Ankeny's old hot-pants get-up. I wish we took our camera; I'd post a photo here if I had one. Audrey was quite the snazzy lady in her day.
I love hand-me-downs, garage sale items, thrift store finds, antiques, old houses, you name it. There's something to be said about a unique piece of cloth or an old chair with a story behind it. If you'd visit me I'd tell you exactly where everything in my apartment came from. The $3.00 chair from Franklin Avenue, the $10.00 chest Jason & I spray-painted, the old dresser from the farm, and grandma's fondue set. You know what I'm talking about. Maybe you've got a beloved pink, glass lamp from your great aunt. It probably doesn't match anything but you love it because it was hers. Or you've got an old t-shirt from camp in elementary school that you can still fit into (because you thought it was cool to wear over-sized clothing when you were 11.) I know I did. My mom & dad always laughed at us girls playing basketball in 5th grade. All these stick legs running up and down the court in clunky, rubber shoes and baggy clothes. Not to mention the frizzy hair tied up in puffy scrunchies and probably an attempt at 5-layer bangs. What a combo! (Ode to the early 90′s.)
I was in Brownies for a hot second in when I was 6 or 7 (Brownies is the precursor to Girl Scouts if you are confused.) The only thing I remember (aside from the treats) is this song we'd sing… "Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold."
Whenever I go home I realize exactly how long I've been away. I test out the top of the well where I'd tap dance as a kid and dream of being a star. Each year the well gets smaller and smaller, but I get a renewed invigoration every time I cut a time step on that old concrete top. My horse, Valero forgives me for being gone and allows me atop his back for another ride around the block. I still can't keep up with my Grandma Greimann who is 83 and mowing the lawn before anyone else has a chance to get to it. MOM and DAD welcome my nuttiness and let me come home with husband and doggie in tow. We eat good food, get way too busy and the time flies faster than a tornado (and we had one of those too.)
My old room is the same, but it's newly the baby room for my sister's kids. The crib lives there. The old becomes new.
Our old "kitchen set" where we'd play restaurant is a fun new find for Brianna's kids too. They wear my old jacket when they come to Grandma & Papa's house, play with our old games, we teach them new songs that are old to us. I love going home. I love seeing my "old" friends who are always dear, true friends. Together we have new experiences.
We have a lot to learn from the "old folks." Our generation and those after us are quick to discard and try the next new thing. With all the gadgetry and digital abilities, and often just the plain fervor of youth and ambition, we easily forget where we come from. The stories. The people who made things, who fought for what they believed in, who worked the soil and brought forth grain. The women who gave birth in circumstances far less glamorous and far more painful.
Experiencing new things and making new creations is a very large piece of life pie. There's also history and family and friends and stories in that life pie too. I think it all deserves a bite with delicious, frozen, coconut cream custard. The one without the other is somehow left wanting. Consider it a way of honoring your history and your people by creating new things, by going forth and blossoming. Also, give the gift of richness, deep flavor and roots to your endeavors by "going home" so to speak. There are stories to be heard and stories to share and stories to create. These are the stories we live. The old becomes new
Always a treat to read your newest blog and this entry was no exception, especially since it struck so many chords. My space is being lighted right now by a lamp my folks bought when they set up house in 1945. On the wall behind me is a small mirror from my Grandma Ro's house. Everywhere I look I see something I treasure from a family member, a friend, or a favorite place. Speaking of favorites, "Children of Eden" has become a new favorite; the music is stunning and the story timeless. Your Mom was absolutely wonderful in the dual role of Eve/Mama; you would have been so proud of her. Now I am diving into several projects for the upcoming 150th anniversary edition of the Faribault County Fair. Thanks again for sharing your heartfelt thoughts and talents with the rest of us. Love, Lill
Makie….so full of wisdom and love for your family and roots and the past and the future….great article – I loved it, and you know, I know that Uncle Scott is enjoying it as well, in Heaven….I miss him so….I think of him everyday….something old became new in heaven
This comment is a little slow coming, however, I had to add my thoughts!! In the Summer of '04 when I was working at Don's Fleet with the 'rents, I was always cold and complaining. So one day, my mom offered me this old sweater/cardigan of hers to wear, most likely thinking I wouldn't want to wear it but that it would shut me up!! Little did she know, I LOVED that sweater. One of the last times I went back home to visit, I took the sweater (which was still in her office at the store) back to Des Moines with me. I wear it every chance I get and love telling people it was my mom's from when she was around my age !
I remember those pants! Great post!

Addiction to Prescription Drugs is one of the fastest growing potentially deadly problems in the Heart of Dixie. The enemy of the prescription drug addict is time! The longer the addiction persists, the harder it is to deal with... But also, the greater the chance of a tragic outcome!
Vicodin Addiction
Addiction to Vicodin in Gulf Shores, Alabama usually starts innocently enough, but quickly turns into a Vicodin abuse nightmare of worry, pain and deceit.
Hydrocodone Addiction in Alabama
OxyContin Addiction
Gulf Shores, Alabama has its share of OxyContin abuse and addiction problems. The addict's life is taken in a way that friends and family don't understand.
Oxycodone Addiction in Alabama
Prescription Drug Addiction
Addiction to the prescription drugs Vicodin, OxyContin, Lortab, Percodan, Roxicodone, Lorcet and others can ruin a life in Gulf Shores, Alabama. But it CAN be overcome!
Prescription Drug Addict Alabama
The devastation of drug abuse falls unfairly on certain groups, such as... Adolescents in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
According to the 2003 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 9.2 percent of adolescent youth aged 12-17 had used a prescription psychotherapeutic drug for nonmedical reasons in the past year and 4.0 percent were current users. Prescription Opioids are a particularly serious problem in this age group.
NIDA's 2004 Monitoring the Future survey of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders found that 5.0 percent of 12th graders reported abusing OxyContin in the past year, and 9.3 percent reported abusing Vicodin, making Vicodin one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs in this population.
Another troubling trend is the recent phenomena known as "pharming", where young people mix prescription medications and ingest some or all of them at once, unaware of potentially severe drug interactions.
Youth and Prescription Medications
Young people in Gulf Shores, Alabama - as well as the rest of the United States and around the world - have discovered that abusing Pharmaceutical Drugs, such as Opioid Pain Relievers and Anti-Anxiety Medications, can provide an apparently safe source for recreational drug abuse. While these drugs may be more easily accessible, more widely available, and less expensive... They are definitely NOT safe to abuse!
When prescription drugs are taken exactly according to directions and only as prescribed by a physician, most can be considered to be relatively safe. But no drug is totally without risks, even when it is taken as directed.
When powerful Painkillers, mood altering Psychiatric Drugs, or Anti-Depressants are abused, the dosages taken are not according to any accepted standards and the possibility of dangerous side effects soar. The vast majority of abused Prescription Drugs have been diverted from the intended recipients. They were never meant for consumption by the final abusers, many of whom are youngsters between 12 and 17 years of age.
Pill and Medication Addiction
Addiction to drugs is usually thought of in terms of Heroin or Cocaine addicts or alcoholics or even Crystal Methamphetamine users wandering the streets at 3:00 AM. But there is another, much more common is an addiction to Pharmaceutical Pills.
This is a different type of addiction. Addiction to Hydrocodone, Oxycodonee, Dilaudid and a whole list of prescription strength narcotic pain killers is sweeping through section of our population who never were abusers of drugs before.
In Gulf Shores, Alabama - as in other areas - it most often starts with a legitimate prescription to Vicodin or OxyContin or some other drug used to relieve severe pain from injury or surgery, whatever eases intense pain.
But then, the pain drags on and on or the user becomes dependant on the drug to simply feel "normal". At that point, the addiction could be dealt avoided with a minimum of pain and discomfort. Instead, the user is looking forward to the drug for comfort and even enjoyment.
Soon, we have an addiction which will not go away by simply gritting the teeth and sweating for a couple of nights. Now the pain seems more intense and the only thing that will relieve it is the pills.
This is the time to seek professional help! Putting off getting real help is only going to make it more difficult and more painful to quit later.
Am I Addicted to Medications?
If you have ever asked yourself this question, there is a good chance you have some dependency on your medications.
Addiction and dependency are not the same thing, but they are closely related. Addiction to pills is a major problem in Alabama and is on the increase, and dependency on pills is leading many Gulf Shores, Alabama citizens into addiction.
But feeling guilty is not enough to solve the problems of drug dependence and addiction. Drug Addiction is progressive and action needs to be taken to stop the problem in its tracks, before it gets worse! You must understand that any addiction can and will get worse, unless it is taken very seriously and professionally handled immediately.
Ask yourself this question...
Have you or anyone you know experienced ANY of the following signs and symptoms of addiction to pills?
- You take increasing doses, beyond the recommended amounts
- You're hiding the amounts being used or how often you take pills
- Guilty feelings when you take the medications
- Fear of running out of pills or being refused more prescriptions
- You find yourself inventing new reasons to refill prescriptions
- Everyday you feel lousy until the dose "kicks in"
- Personality changes. You might not see it, but others mention you've changed.
What Should You Do?
If you see any of the above indications of prescription drug addiction in yourself or a loved one, don't wait for things to progress and get worse...
Get Help NOW !!!

Living without hiding and depending on the pills is like heaven! -- Jill, Age: 29

I've been to M St Bar and Grill
for hour hour and always enjoyed myself. When I saw them on the list for restaurant week and reviewed the menu, we decided to go for it. It was a three course meal including a glass of wine. Unfortunately, the food was not good at all. The presentation was nice but it was very bland and not seasoned well at all. I had the calamari, chicken panini and sweet potato fries, and key lime pie. Very very unhappy customers. I will stick to happy hour."
Dined on 8/13/2014
This is a solid restaurant with
great prices. M St always has great specials that make dinning here affordable and the food has always been delicious. I found our server to be very attentive and the manager was very nice and checked in on us a few time throughout our meal."
Dined on 8/7/2014
I thought the food was good,not
exceptional but good. I started with the scallops dish which I thought could have used more seasoning. The corn need a little something extra it was just corn and a little too much salt. I had the steak was good, enjoyed the sauce. The service was good though the server never asked if we wanted bread. We arrived at 6:30 and there were just a few people there."

I was disappointed to discover
that due to July 4th weekend, their menu was cut nearly in half, without notice on their website. My husband and I came in expecting certain menu items and were very disappointed."
Dined on 7/5/2014
I went here for Sunday brunch with
my boyfriend. We had a cute corner booth, so we could sit closely together. The restaurant is swanky with an upscale ambience. It would also be fun for a group of ladies, not looking for the typical party brunch. Also... the mimosas are strong and yummy!"
Dined on 6/29/2014
One person in my party has
celiac's disease and cannot eat gluten. Before making the reservation she called the restaurant to ask about their gluten free brunch options. She was told that they had a separate gluten free menu and that it would not be a problem to accommodate her dietary needs. However our waiter at first told us there were no gluten free options, then when we insisted he go ask a manager or the chef, he said only one entree was gluten free. He didn't ask about the appetizers or desserts so we had to send him back to ask again. His English was not the best so there may have been a communication issue. He also told us he had a larger party in a different section which I think was his excuse for not serving us often."
Dined on 6/29/2014
Came here for brunch, and am now
recommending it to all my friends! Three courses plus bottomless mimosas for $24.95. Couldn't ask for a better deal. The food was all delicious, and the portions were huge! Our waitress was very attentive and friendly, and servers kept the mimosas flowing! Perfect for weekend brunch."
Dined on 6/28/2014
We really enjoyed our food,
service and ambiance. Is a very nice restaurant"
Dined on 6/10/2014
The food was all really great. I
got the omelette, berry salad and chocolate mousse. Also, the mimosas were very good even though they were pre-mixed. Our waiter was awesome and very fast at re-filling our mimosas (mine never got below half-full). The noise level was good, not too loud or too quiet. We were seated on the upper level and not by the piano, so I'd request this area for seating."

The recently opened patio was
fantastic. Great for dates. The lamb kabob and caprese small plates were both great and went well with our Bottle of Riesling. A perfect summer spot in Dupont."

Went here for the 3 course brunch
and bottomless drinks for $25. Service was absolutely amazing and the waiter would refill our mimosas every few sips. We went with a group and everyone was extremely pleased with the food. Dessert menu is limited, but recommend the chocolate mousse. Af for entrees, many great options and all very well prepared. Very accommodating to diet and meal preferences. Great weekend brunch! "
Dined on 5/10/2014
I've been here before and had
wonderful service. This time, however was a much different experience. We were siting down stairs where the bartender is also the server. When we got there it took over 10 minutes for him to come take our drink order. At that point he took our food orders as well. After going to enter everything he went and took anther table'a food orders. This table already had drinks. Our first course was served before our drinks made it to us. From there on out service for even worse. Toom forever to get refills and he even forgot to bring us stuff we had asked for. I'm not sure I'll ever return to this restaurant. "

They do not hand you a kid menu,

I came here with two others for
brunch, restaurant has a few levels and were on the street level which was nice. It seemed like there was only 1 waiter serving out entire level, so food service was a bit slow. He did come around on a regular basis to refill our champagne glasses so we were fine waiting. When the food did come out it was excellent. I had the breakfast burrito and my friends got the full American breakfast. There were no complaints on that end, and I had the chocolate mousse for dessert it was quite nice but def not a traditional mousse. This was more life whipped cream with chocolate flecks, but still tasty! Overall for $25 you get bottomless mimosas, an appetizer, entree and dessert so it's a good deal! "
Dined on 4/19/2014
I chose this restaurant for my
birthday dinner with a group of 16. Most of us ordered the Monday half price burger and everyone likesd the food. I liked the cocktail I ordered too. I brought in a whole cake from outside and the restaurant served it with very good service. The restaurant is inside St. Gregory hotel so has nice and luxury atmosphere but the food is reasonable at all. Good location from work too. There is a small bar and I would use for a couple dinner and lunch too."
Dined on 4/14/2014
I went here because I was
celebrating my birthday with about 8 of my friends. They were very accommodating when it came to the large group. The atmosphere was great and the waiter kept our glasses filled with mimosas throughout the brunch. The only negative thing was that most of us ordered the chicken and waffles, but there was a malfunction with the waffle maker and some folks ended up getting pancakes instead, which to me defeats the purpose of chicken and WAFFLES. Also the waffle was cold so that bothered me. In their defense the last time I went there with just me and my boyfriend, the chicken and waffles were hot and delicious. So it could've just been prime time.Def recommend!!! Fav brunch spot of all time!"

Dinner for 4 was very enjoyable.
Friends totally enjoyed it."
Dined on 4/10/2014
One of us ordered the Shrimp &
Grits, which was very good & the other the Eggs Benedict, which was just OK....used deli ham instead of Canadian bacon & the breakfast potatoes were hard with an overwhelming rosemary seasoning. Wish they had offered the yummy grits instead. The basket of pastries were nice, but cold; even a slight heating would have made them delicious. Overall, this was a good brunch with generous pourings of sparkling wine, etc. However, we were guests at the hotel & discovered the next day that we should have been offered a $3.00 discount per person."
Dined on 4/6/2014
Took a group of eight from work
and it was a beautiful table they gave us. Also, everyone said their meal was excellent. I didn't like the dumpling soup, it was pure garlic. But the vegetable panini was great and the rolls they serve were delicious."

My group of four made a 2:15
reservation for the Sunday brunch. Two of us arrived just before 2:15, with the other two were running behind because of the bad weather. Right when we sat down we were served drinks (not given the option of champagne--just mimosas are offered), and greeted warmly. A couple minutes later the manager came up to us and said the last time to order food is 2:15 because we have to leave at 3pm. We were a bit taken aback by this, because why would they allow us to make a 2:15 reservation if that is the last time the kitchen can take an order? Even if we all were there by 2:15 (the others arrived at 2:20), we would need time to look over the menu. We ended up calling our friends and ordering for them over the phone..."

we had a table of eight people and
although the restaurant was busy we had to wait TWO HOURS for our food…. once we realized how busy the waitress seemed to be, we decided to order drinks/apps/food at the same time. the apps came out in a timely manner and then it took literally two hours for our dinner to come. during this two hours another table of seven say down, ordered their food, got their food, ate their food, and left. I'm not sure why are food took so long but we were also given no reason and just simple statements like "your food should be out in a second.." multiple times. Good food, but not worth the wait."

This place was wonderful to
accommodate my party of 20. Small enough to never be looked over but enough room to feel comfortable. Dan was my server and he was great. Could not have asked for more from this place. My NY strip was cooked perfectly and paired with broccolini and mashed potatoes. I'm Going back for brunch and def bringing a date here. Also this place has an AMAZING drink list. 3/4 drink ranging in price from $5-$12 bucks."

This is really a great place for
lunch if you are interested in having a conversation. The noise level is quite low. The accomodations are comfortable and attractive, and the service is attentive, but not intrusive. The food is quite decent as well."

Great selection of food items and
price point for an unlimited mimosa brunch. Noise level was a little loud--energetic, but full of chatter and jazz. Overall good experience."
Dined on 3/9/2014
The restaurant was very nice about
taking a large group of 11 with only a 3 day advance reservation. The restaurant is very attractive inside and our server was very professional, friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the fish soup and the lox benedict very much and most of my friends liked their food, although a couple complained that theirs arrived cold. Dessert is not their strong point."

Cajanus Vol 42 No. 1 2009 - Food Safety 1
In several issues of the Cajanus, the Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute addressed the matter of food safety. In Volume 24 of 1991, reference was made to an excerpt from the World Health Organization (WHO) publication Evaluation of Programmes to Ensure Food Safety: Guiding Principles. The point was made that in developing food safety programmes; there must be continuous re-examination and evaluation to ensure that the activities that are being undertaken are those that bring substantial improvements.

DURHAM — If nothing else, Southern Durham will start February with a better taste in their months – and it certainly won't be bitter orange peels.
The mindset of a team can be a funny thing after losing to a conference rival. When Southern lost to Orange 71-61 in overtime on Jan. 7, some coaches simply would have said "next game."
Not Coach Kendrick Hall.
"We felt we should have won that game," said Hall. "Since that game, we've had orange peelings in our mouths. We really hated losing that game. We wanted to come out and show we could play better, and we did."
Friday night, the Spartans looked as smooth as Orange sherbet by holding the Panthers to 31-percent shooting from the field in a 70-53 victory at Spartan Gymnasium. Amari Hamilton led the Spartans with 28 points. The Panthers, who were only 2-of-15 from 3-point range, were led by center J.D. Brooks with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
The loss puts Orange (15-4, 7-2) and Southern (10-8, 7-2) in a tie for second place in the Big Eight Conference. Chapel Hill (13-5, 8-1) took over sole possession of first with 54-43 win Friday at home over Cedar Ridge.
The Panthers' second straight loss was their most lopsided one of the season, and perhaps predictable. Orange played seven days after losing 54-47 to Cardinal Gibbons. Snow forced the cancellation of two school days and the postponement of Tuesday's game against Northern Vance. The Panthers had practiced only once since the loss to Gibbons.
"It's been kind of rough," said Orange Coach Greg Motley. "I was nervous about how we would come out, since we haven't been in the gym very much."
Motley had reason to be concerned. Southern alternated Marvin Tillman and Hamilton on Orange big man Keegan Crabtree, a 6-6 forward with plenty of range. Crabtree scored 21 in the first matchup three weeks ago. On Friday, he was held to 10 points on 2-of-8 shooting, thanks in part to the Spartans' matchup zone.
"It was tough to get shots off tonight," said Motley. "I don't think we had a lack of confidence (after the Cardinal Gibbons loss). I think a combination of the layoff and playing a tough team on the road had a lot to do with it."
After trailing 34-25 at the half, Orange rallied with an 13-4 run to narrow the Spartan lead to 40-38 after Jawan Chambers scored on a stick-back bucket with 1:45 remaining in the third quarter.
Southern struck back with three straight three-point plays to end the quarter. First, guard Kendall Hinton canned a three-pointer. After Hinton forced an Orange turnover, forward Rashard Dixon scored on a lay-in, and converted the ensuing free thrown after a foul on Crabtree. Freshman J'Tori Christmas ended the quarter when he flicked in a three-pointer off a pass by Ben Johnson, a shot that barely beat the third quarter buzzer and gave Southern a 49-40 lead.
Tigers take over first
Hosting the Cedar Ridge boys Friday, Chapel Hill hit a flurry of free throws in the fourth quarter to hold on for a 54-43 win in Big Eight basketball.
Chapel Hill freshman David Caraher hit 11 of 12 free throws in the final 8 minutes and ended up with 20 points as the game's leading scorer. Jamil Walker chipped in nine points and Brian Thorton seven for the Tigers.
"They started fouling and we were in the one-and-one and two-shot bonus early in the fourth quarter," Chapel Hill Coach Lason Perkins said. "It was just a matter of going to the line and hitting them."
Perkins admitted he'd had some concerns about how his team would respond to having missed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday practices due to weather-related school closures.
"What I told the team is that everybody else in the conference missed two or three days, too," he said. "The big question was: Who is going to respond the best?"
Coupled with Orange's loss Friday to Southern Durham, the Tigers' fourth straight conference win gave Chapel Hillsole possession of first place in the Big Eight.
Update: Chapel Hill improved to 14-5 overall and 9-1 in the Big Eight with a 53-49 win Saturday afternoon at Oxford Webb. The game, originally scheduled for Tuesday, had been moved to Saturday because of the week's winter weather and school cancellations.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Dec. 27, 2010) – Santa Anita's Grade II, $150,000 San Gabriel Stakes had Proudinsky's name written all over it, but Jeranimo!, the Proudinsky consolidation was blunted in Monday's 64th running.
Victorious in the previous two runnings of the San Gabriel after a second the year before, Proudinsky took charge in midstretch of the mile-and-one-eighth turf event on Monday after putting away 7-10 favorite The Usual Q. T.
But while the German-bred Proudinsky was rallying along the rail under jockey Patrick Valenzuela before drifting out slightly, Jeranimo stormed home just inside of them with Rafael Bejarano at the controls.
The 4-1 upsetter drew clear of 9-2 Proudinsky by 2 ½ lengths at the wire. The Usual Q. T., with Victor Espinoza aboard, checked in third in the field of seven, 2 ½ lengths behind Proudinsky.
"When I saw the No. 1 (Proudinsky) getting room from the rail, I just stayed on the rail because I knew he was going to have a lot of horse at the end, too," explained Bejarano. "When the No. 1 came out a bit in the stretch, I got the opportunity, and my horse came running. This horse is really improving."
The final time over a turf course labeled "good" was 1:47.20. Jeranimo paid $10.20 to win. The 4-year-old son of Congaree, who took last February's Grade II Strub Stakes at Santa Anita at odds of 11-1, gained his fifth victory in 15 starts for owner B. J. Wright. The winning purse of $90,000 brought his career earnings to $429,400.
"This horse is as good as he's ever been," said trainer Mike Pender, "and Rafael rode him great." Pender wasn't sure what might be next for Jeranimo, but said the ultimate target would be the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap over dirt on March 5.
"We ran in it last year (finishing fourth when racing on a synthetic surface)," Pender said of the Big 'Cap. "It would be great to go back there and seek a little revenge. I think this horse can run over anything. That's how good he is."
A supporting feature, the fillies division of the $100,000 California Breeders' Champion Stakes, went to California Nectar in a mild upset while providing Valenzuela with his first stakes victory at Santa Anita in four years.
The 48-year-old rider, whose jockey's license had been suspended in California for much of that time following a substance abuse violation, drove 4-1 shot California Nectar to 1 ½-length win over Warren's Flyer while negotiating seven furlongs in 1:21.66.
It was another head back to Bathing Beauty, who bested pacesetting 4-5 favorite Teddy's Promise by a neck in the field of seven California-bred 2-year-old fillies.
"It's great," Valenzuela exclaimed in the winner's circle. "It's like being back home at Santa Anita." Added the winner of over 4,000 races: "There's no greater feeling."
The win was the second in six starts for the homebred daughter of Stormy Atlantic who is trained by Doug O'Neill for Suarez Racing Inc. She paid $10.80 to her supporters.
"She's so talented," O'Neill said. "She's got a lot of upside. Mentally, she's just getting better and better. She just had a beautiful trip and hopefully we can build off that and get her back going two turns."
California Nectar, who had lost last October's California Cup Juvenile Fillies by a nose to Swiss Wild Cat going 1 1/16 miles at Hollywood Park, earned $60,000 to boost her career total to $123,800.
After a dark day on Tuesday, Santa Anita will conduct a Wednesday through Sunday racing schedule the remainder of the week. First post for Wednesday's eight-race card is at 12:30 p.m.

Georgia State, who is 2-6 on the road, is making its last trip to Towson as a member of the CAA. Next season, the Panthers move to the Sun Belt Conference. They lead the series 8-6 and faced the Tigers just once last year. They defeated the Tigers, 57-42, in Atlanta on Jan. 14, 2012.
The Panthers had some tough non-conference games already this season, falling at Duke 74-55 and at BYU, 80-62. They also had solid wins over Monmouth (62-49), Tennessee State (59-57) and South Alabama (75-73). During conference play, GSU fell at home to Drexel, 77-60, to open up conference play on Jan. 2. Georgia State followed that with a win over James Madison, 68-52 at home.
GUS lost its first road conference game of the season to Hofstra on Jan. 7 (52-50) and then lost to Delaware on Jan. 21 at home. But since then, Georgia State has won two straight, defeating William & Mary at home, 74-58, and trouncing Old Dominion on the road, 69-54, this past Saturday.
The Panthers win with a solid defense that can force turnovers with pressure, and the players can make 3-pointers if left alone. Georgia State shoots 42 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc. The Panthers have gotten out-rebounded by a margin of 2.1.
They turn the ball over 12.4 per game and force 13.8 turnovers per game. GSU allows teams to shoot 43 percent and 35 percent from 3-point range. The Panthers also average 7.2 steals per game and 4.6 blocks per game.
Georgia State plays a four-guard lineup led by the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year in the CAA - R.J. Hunter (6-5, 175). The son of head coach Ron Hunter is having quite a college basketball debut, averaging 15.6 ppg and 5.8 rpg. He's also just one of six freshmen nationwide who averages at least 15 ppg and 5.0 rpg. Hunter shoots 43 percent from the floor, 34 percent (37-110) from beyond the arc and 79 percent from the line.
At the point, junior Devonta White (5-10, 170) is second in the CAA in minutes (36.4 mpg) and fourth in assists with 3.4 apg. He's also a dangerous scorer who averages 14.1 ppg while shooting 42 percent from the floor and 30 percent (24-80) from deep.
At the wing, junior Manny Atkins (6-6, 205) leads the CAA in 3-point shooting at 42.3 percent (33-78). He's third on the team in scoring at 13.8 ppg, shooting 42 percent from the floor and 82 percent from the line. He also leads the team in rebounding at 6.2 per game.
Junior guard Rashaad Richardson (6-4, 185) adds 7.5 ppg and shoots 46 percent from the field. He is capable of big performances, having scored in double digits against Delaware and William & Mary. Richardson also led the Panthers over Tennessee State, 59-57, with a 45-foot, half-court, game-winning buzzer-beater.
At center is senior James Vincent (6-10, 260), who grabbed 21 rebounds against Old Dominion. Vincent doesn't put up gaudy numbers, but he does lead the team with 48 blocks (second in the CAA) while averaging 4.1 ppg and 4.8 rpg.
The top Panther off the bench is redshirt sophomore Cameron Solomon (6-3, 170), who averages 5.4 ppg. When Vincent comes out of the game, the Panthers go small with junior Denny Burguillos (6-7, 230). Freshman Marcus Crider (6-6, 205), adds 2.8 ppg and 2.7 rpg and is sixth in minutes this year 14.2 mpg.

"Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter": 8 Antebellum Vampire Zombies in Politics and Pop Culture
Photo Credit: billoberstjr
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Zombies, vampires, monsters. Whether they're feeding on blood, brains or the body politic, throughout recorded history they have functioned as resilient parasites hell-bent on exhausting and annihilating their hosts. Sound familiar?
It should, because humanity, now numbered at 7 billion and counting worldwide, is running out of room and resources. It shouldn't surprise anyone that ocean acidification is predictably but horrifically escalating in lockstep, or that its nearest death marches were 300 million years and four mass extinctions ago — still way too close for existential comfort. But the enemy of existential comfort is existential horror, and today that means zombies, vampires and further monstrous parasites in pop and politics. They are the stand-ins for the expendable among us, wish-fantasies of graphic extermination and hopeful reconstruction.
Speaking of Reconstruction, lately these parasitic entities that must be exterminated at all costs have freakishly emerged from the still-unsettled mental and regional wreckage of the American Civil War. Which itself would be a perfect metaphor for a ravenous species eating itself from within, were it not for the fact that it cost nearly a million American lives in real time, and resulted in political and cultural enmities that remain irreconcilable. Especially in a singular election year charged with apocalyptic rhetoric and amplified prejudices, which has only intensified the meaning of the Civil War reenactments — this time with bloodsuckers and brain eaters.
Take the popcorn blockbuster John Carter, about Edgar Rice Burroughs' paragon of reconstructed Southern masculinity, which transforms its slave-state Confederate captain into a freedom-fighting warlord far, far away from his earthly moral transgressions. Or the just-released Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, which reimagines Southern slave traders as bloodsucking cannon fodder for America's greatest president—who ended the Civil War, emancipated its slaves and took a bullet to the head, courtesy of John Wilkes Booth in a calculated payback of emasculated rage.
From well-known electives like The Walking Dead, True Blood, and World War Z to indie experiments like Exit Humanity, pop culture is currently reanimating the American Civil War to reflect our real-time environmental and economic horrors. You know, the ones in which you are either a zombie, vampire or another targeted corpse without human, or subhuman, rights. Or you're one of the few survivalists left searching for your humanity in a priced-in, die-off centuries in the making.
These gruesome Civil War reboots have gone viral in politics as well. Americans are mired in an interminable election-year masquerade, starring an African-American president at the height of his power and a seething Southern body politic determined to suck the bones of his (New) New Deal utterly dry. Co-stars include zombie banks, vampire squids and even armed John Wilkes Booth bobblehead dolls showing up for sale at, of all places, the Gettysburg National Military Park.
So without further ado, here is a list of the pop and political wish-fantasies that have infiltrated and resuscitated American history's most murderous conflict. Starting with, conveniently enough, with a marketing zombie whose manufactured death mask simply will not, and probably could not, ever go away.
1. Sarah Palin, Confederate Heroin(e)
A bottomless boon to sensationalists everywhere, Palin recently accused president-of-color Barack Obama of wanting to return to the "mistake that took place before the Civil War ... when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin." Her bizarro logic, in which an increasingly multicultural American citizenry now regards last century's supreme whites as expendable subhumans, is a caricature ironically colored by the 2012 release of Game Change, in which the talented Julianne Moore humanizes the mythic Palin.

He had 139 tackles and five interceptions in three seasons with the 49ers, who signed him as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Delaware. He likely will back up Sean Jones and Brodney Pool in the secondary, which was hurt by injuries last season.

This past Friday, Pinkberry celebrated the debut of its latest flavor added on the menu: mango. After attending a previous flavor debut a few years ago, I was prepared to get to the store early in anticipation of the long lines. However to my surprise, no lines could be found. Also nowhere to be seen was any prizes or giveaways as I heard about earlier this week. In addition, another thing missing was the suggested mango menu. However, the staff was ready to take on the promotion donning yellow shirts. The line wrapped around once but did not go out the door.
I received my 3oz sample of mango yogurt with apple granola, fruity pebbles & mochi. I truly enjoyed the mango flavor. Sweet but with Pinkberry's signature tartness. The fruity pebbles were a good complement to the yogurt. I'll keep this in mind next time.
There's so many toppings to mix and match, I'll be having fun with this one!
Overall, my experience was great. The staff was more than accommodating to myself and every customer in line. However, I would have liked to see the promotions mentioned in the press release such as games, giveaways, and music. It would have made this debut even more fun.

Yes, the guardian did report it was a false alarm BUT this information did not appear to come from the emergency services. Also, there is a difference between hoax (maliciously made prank call) and a false alarm (call made with the best of intentions but where the initial reason for the call turned out to be incorrect).
They wanna make there minds up , first they say its a body then a hoax and now its not a hoax but we can't find a body ! Has the bike been reported stolen ? Have they checked to see who it's registered too ??? Before they tell the public

Borussia Dortmund have one hand on the Bundesliga trophy after they pulled off a spectacular victory over Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Bayern had their chances to equalize on multiple occasions, but failed to take their chances over and over again as Der BVB held on for a 1-0 win.
The first half was entertaining, but featured no goals. Manuel Neuer made a brilliant 6th minute save on Shinji Kagawa and Robert Lewandowski hit the post in the 37th minute, but the home side couldn't find the back of the net and had to disappointingly go into the halftime break level with Bayern at 0-0.
The Bavarians had much more of the ball and more quality chances in the second half, but Dortmund found the only goal of the match in the 77th minute. Kevin Großkreutz created the chance with a shot from the edge of the penalty area that was going to be on target if it was allowed to run all the way through to the goal, but it would have been easily saved by Neuer. Instead, it never got to the Bayern keeper. Lewandowski was in perfect position to redirect the ball and he deflected it away from the Bayern keeper with a brilliant backwards flick with the inside of his boot. It rolled into the back of the net for the game's only goal.
Bayern would have two more brilliant chances, and somehow, they missed them both. The first was as clear of a chance as a team can get, a penalty kick given for a foul on Arjen Robben by Roman Weidenfeller. Robben stepped up and took the penalty, but hit a weak one that was easily saved.
In stoppage time, he would have a chance to redeem himself, but failed again. After the ball deflected off the head of a Dortmund defender and improbably onto the crossbar, it fell to Robben two yards away from goal, but with everything to shoot at, he found a way to sky his half-volley attempt miles over the crossbar.
Lewandowski nearly doubled Dortmund's lead in the dying seconds, but hit the crossbar with a brilliant chipped shot. Ultimately, the final whistle blew, ending a one-goal game that probably should have had five or six. Der BVB are now six points clear on top of the Bundesliga, and would have to fall apart to avoid winning the title.
