Camden Riviere has been here before: No. 2 in the world in court tennis with a chance to take over the top spot.
In the 2008 world championship, at the age of 21, Riviere challenged Rob Fahey in the sport from which lawn tennis – or "regular tennis," as Riviere puts it – was derived.
For the next three-plus years, the Charleston native, who was raised in Aiken, battled a string of injuries that saw him fall to No. 4 in the world rankings. After hitting his stride in the middle of last year and regaining his No. 2 ranking in January, he's training for the Australian Open – scheduled for May 6 through May 14 in Melbourne – where he hopes to get another shot at Fahey.
"It feels good," he said of bouncing back from his injuries. "When I got the last injury, it was severe tendonitis in the wrist. I went from not knowing if I was ever going to do it again to playing my best tennis ever."
Riviere began playing court tennis at the Aiken Tennis Club when he was 5 years old with his father Tiger Riviere, a real estate developer in Aiken who also owns barns used for training horses and riders. His grandfather, Hank Honeck, also played tennis.
Camden Riviere went on to play lawn tennis – played on hardcourts, of course – for Aiken High School, but he said that he was never able to give the more popular sport his full attention due to his court tennis schedule.
"I just did it to amuse myself, honestly," he said. "Regular tennis was always there for fun while I was in town going to school."
He explained that he felt more naturally gifted and built for court tennis to begin with. At only 5-foot-8 and 155 pounds, Riviere – who will turn 26 in May – said that he would always run into lawn tennis players that were bigger and stronger than he.
In the more common form of tennis, that results in a player being able to overpower his smaller opponent. In court tennis, played indoors on a very specific court with walls and other structures that are in play, a smaller athlete can use cunning to outmaneuver his more powerful foe.
"In court tennis, with all the walls and everything, there's a lot of angles," he said. "It's really complex. ... So what I found was, even though I'm not the biggest guy, I can out-think people."
Riviere turned professional before he graduated from Aiken High in 2005 and moved to England to train. He also spent some time living in Boston. Even though he's moved back to Aiken since then to recuperate from his most recent injuries, he said there are very few opportunities to do serious training here. The Aiken Tennis Club is one of two court tennis facilities south of the Mason-Dixon line, with the other being in the Washington, D.C., area, and Riviere recently has gone back to Newport, R.I., to finish training for the Australian Open.
"The game is biggest in America in the Northeast, so I spend most of my time there," he said.
The task ahead of him is no small one. If he plays up to his ranking and makes it to a rematch with Fahey, who is from Australia, he'll be facing a man who has won the last 11 World Championships, holding the title since 1994. The event was originally held every year until changing to every other year after 1996.
Despite the daunting potential opponent, Tiger Riviere said he has known Camden had a special ability since he faced Fahey in 2008.
"It's spectacular," the elder Riviere said. "On his 21st birthday, he lost the world championship to the greatest player in the world by one point. ... He's not only gone ahead and performed, he's outperformed."
In addition to the World Championships, Fahey has won 10 Australian Open titles, but hasn't won one since 2008.
While Camden Riviere would be more enthusiastic about loosening Fahey's grip on the World Championship, the world's second-ranked player said he has to push the overwhelming thought of reaching the apex of his sport from his mind.
"It's exciting. Basically, the World Championship, to me, is bigger, but this is a huge step," he said. "To be the guy who takes (the No. 1 ranking) away from (Fahey) would be huge. ... You try not to think about it, honestly."

Thank you so much for sharing your stories! It makes me feel thankful things went as they did, and it also lets me grapple with some things that happened.
I know -exactly- the pain everyone is talking about. When I was hospitalized, I had that pain frequently, and even right after birth. I remember completely flipping out because I hadn't been allowed any food or beverages and exclaiming that I was in excruciating pain due to hunger (I just didn't know any better). Instead of asking me where the pain was, I remember one of the nurses saying, 'well, if the worst pain she's having is hunger, she's fine,' and ignoring me, while another nurse snuck me a popsicle and alerted the doctor. I felt like I was dying, and I felt like there was no one there to help me, because the doctor was too busy and they didn't take me seriously.
And oh... to lose a baby or to watch them go through the experience of trying to survive... I feel for you both (and everyone on this forum) so much. Your strength to move on is guiding me.

It's pretty simple - she's the best agent I've ever worked with. Her area knowledge, negotiation skills, and work ethic are unbelievable. I will never buy or sell in Marin without Barbara on my side.

Ratings & Reviews
We have used Barbara for two purchases (Mill Valley and Kentfield) and both times we had had phenomenal outcomes. Her goal was to find us the right house that we would be excited to call our home. She delivered and we're very thankful we had her representing us!
I have worked with Barbara Majors for many years. I buy and sell houses for profit. I have never experienced an agent that has so much "game on". She takes on her clients interests and treats them as family. She is unmatched in negotiations and is well networked within her peers. What sets her apart is her ability to get the contract signed. Whether you are buying or selling. She is the bible of knowing what values are within the market place. She knows market forces and is well connected even outside of real estate. This lady has unmatched heart, spirit and the bravado. She is sooo ahead of the pack..Late at night you will find her working to stay on top of it. There is just no one that can keep up with her.
Barbara assisted us in buying our first Mill Valley home in 1990. When we got ready to sell three years ago, she gave us advice and the house was sold before the listing was public. She found interim housing for us until our perfect house came on the market. She helps in every way possible. It feels like you are her only client.
Barbara Major is the absolute best out there. If you are looking for something specific she will find it, if you are looking for some guidance, she will help you find your dream home. I would never work with anyone else and am so glad that i came across her name. Not to mention she answers her phone 100% of the time which is impossible to find! Complete satisfaction in my book.
Barbara Major is a true professional. She knows the entire Southern Marin County area and the professionals who work the area like the back of her hand which translates into time, effort and money saved for her clients.
Her long list of clients is not from flashy ads, it's from word of mouth conversations from satisfied individuals and families who are now in their dream home because of Barbara.
I would say she is by far the best in Marin County -- and there are a LOT of excellent agents in that part of the world!
Barbara goes above and beyond in every way. First of all, she turned into our needs and helped us think through a host of issues. She advised us on how to construct our offer based on detailed knowledge of the area and neighborhood. She also shared significant insight into the the seller's interests which made our offer highly attractive. She was amazing in her commitment and energy both before and after the sale. Once our offer was accepted, she helped us by recommending a fabulous contractor and vendors who assisted with our renovations.
We simply can't imagine better service or a more interesting and friendly agent. Barbara is the BEST!
Barbara helped us navigate an extremely tight market this spring. Not only did she help identify the house we ultimately bought, but her efforts to close the deal were really impressive. We had a complicated transaction with a difficult seller and she helped us in the end get what we wanted. Her local connections to realtors, contractors, home and town inspectors, and attorneys paid huge dividends. We were able to get very quick answers to the many questions we had during the process using her network of associates. This was the difference in us getting the house we wanted. We look forward to working with Barbara again in the future.
I've met many agents in the past years and Barbara is by far the best agent I have ever met and worked with for buying a home. She has so many years of experience that others just cannot create. She is always available 24/7, skillfully and professionally aggressive to get you the deal! She is a hard worker and will do whatever is takes to find you your home. She has relationships with all the right people that will get you steps ahead of the other buyers in the market. Above all she has integrity and is such a sweet person that you feel comfortable working with her from the start. We worked with Barbara in one of the most aggressive markets in many years and she got us the house we fell in love with above five other offers. You will be in good hands with Barbara. We just adore her.
Barbara Major is the best real estate agent in the world. She is the sole reason that I live in the house of my dreams. Barbara changed my life by locating and delivering a home for me and my family that is better than I ever imagined possible, and she negotiated with a tenacity and business acumen that blew me away. I owe her big time and would recommend her to anyone that wants to achieve their goals. She is tireless and she gets results. I truly am in awe of her. Thanks Barbara.

I lost my son on 05/11/11 at 22 wks pregnant. My husband and I are still dealing with our loss, and now my sister is living in my home as she is in the middle of a messy divorce.
My husband and I want to start trying again in December. We want a baby more than anything and we both think that waiting will increase our chances of this happening again. But, now my sister is living in the nursery that I had panted for my son. It bothers me but I'm not going to throw her out on the street. She isn't currently working as she was a stay at home mom for the last year of her marriage, and she has depression issues and when she gets upset everything is everybody elses fault. I thought that I would still try in December, and just have to fix up the other room in my house and move my sister in there but my husband feels that we can't try again until she is out of the house because her mood swings and flipping out all the time makes my blood pressure shoot up. I'm worried about her, trying to be supportive, but sometimes she seems me as the enemy because I am trying to be a neurtal party between her and her husband because my two necies are still living with him and I'm not the one in the divorce.
Well now I'm realizing that Joe and I may not be able to start trying again with all this happening, and now I can help but think if I will ever have children. I have no idea when my sister will get back on her feet. She's trying to learn to calm herself and not jump down people's throat, and not react so emotionally to everything but she wants it to change over night and it wont. It takes years to get over things sometimes, its different for everyone.
I feel selfish for focusing on my upset over not being able to try for a baby again, and I am heartbroken to think we may never get the chance. I am turning 29 in December and I don't want to wait long but I can't shove my sister out the door either, and I want to help her but she has to help herself first, and I am just so confused on how to feel.
I just cry a lot now. Too much. So I tried to focus on helping my sister, but she says she is going to wait for a position at my company to open instead of getting all these rejections from other places. But she can't even think of moving out until she gets a job. My husband is angry all the time, and he's trying not to be, but he is depressed from losing Joseph, and wants to try again but can help feeling like my sister is stopping us. I am trying to be there for him but I know he still cant shake that feeling. And now my husband's father is being hospitalized.
I... I really wonder how I haven't completely broken down yet.

02.21.2012 - Baker Racing Engines, Margay step up as early product sponsors for Jax Money Race
What has made the Money Race festivities so popular each Friday of a Gold Cup racing weekend is not so much the run for a financial payday, but the drama of finding out who will start where by virtue of a blind draw at the beginning of the event, the standing start at the beginning of the race, and the halftime break which features a pill draw by the leader at that point to determine the possible inversion of positions, all leading to a sometimes very dramatic finish, culminating with an tidy little payday for the winner and subsequent top five.
But the true beauty of the Money Race is taking care of all the participants, either by Money or Product.
Leading the product charge for the series first race will be Steve Baker of Baker Racing Engines, again sweetening the pot for a few drivers that may finish out of the money. Baker will be providing Gift Certificates to many participants again this year. Additionally, the re-emergence of Margay Racing Products to the Gold Cup fold will add to what should be a great weekend of racing at Jacksonville. Keith Freber, proprietor of the St Louis based company, will be giving away 1 set of Firestone YKD Tires to a participant in the Money Race field, thus providing a large financial boost to 1 driver in the field for the weekend.
Leading the charge of heavy weights in the All Star race will be defending Jax Money Race winner Chris Wells along with multi-time Money Race winner Gary Lawson. Drivers such as Jim Lipari, Dylan and Jason Zobkiw, Travis Manning, Connor Lund, Zachary Deshaies and many more will be just a few of the names to watch out for all weekend long. Adding former Gold Cuppers Mike Greiner and Richie Kuhn back to the fold, along with what should be a great turnout of Clones and the all new X30 Junior and Senior 2 Cycle classes, and the Money Race is just the tipoff of a star studded, packed weekend of racing hosted by the North Florida Kart Club and WKA.
Any sponsors wishing to add to the list of product sponsors for the Money Race can contact WKA's Buddy Long at (704) 455-1606, ext 19, or by email at

Mayim Bialik files to end 9-year marriage in LA
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Court records show Mayim Bialik filed for divorce from her husband of nine years on the same day she announced the couple's split in a blog post.
She cited irreconcilable differences with husband Michael Stone in the documents filed Nov. 21 in Los Angeles.
Bialik currently stars on the CBS comedy "The Big Bang Theory" and rose to fame as the star of the TV show "Blossom."
She has been a proponent of "attachment parenting" and the former couple have two sons together, ages 7 and 4. Bialik has said their parenting style was not a factor in the divorce and she is seeking joint custody of the children.
The 36-year-old wrote in her post last week that the divorce is "terribly sad, painful and incomprehensible" for children.

Uterine fibroids are tumors that grow in a woman's womb (uterus). These growths are not cancer (benign).
Leiomyoma; Fibromyoma; Myoma; Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are common. As many as 1 in 5 women may have fibroids during their childbearing years. Half of all women have fibroids by age 50.
Fibroids are rare in women under age 20. They are more common in African-Americans than Caucasians.
No one knows exactly what causes fibroids. They are thought to be caused by:
Fibroids can be so tiny that you need a microscope to see them. They can also grow very large. They may fill the entire uterus and may weigh several pounds. Although it is possible for just one fibroid to develop, usually there are more than one.
Fibroids can grow:
Common symptoms of uterine fibroids are:
Often, you can have fibroids and not have any symptoms. Your health care provider may find them during a physical exam or other test. Fibroids often shrink and cause no symptoms in women who have gone through menopause. A recent study also showed that some small fibroids shrink in premenopausal women.
Your health care provider will perform a pelvic exam. This may show that you have a change in the shape of your womb.
Fibroids aren't always easy to diagnose. Being obese may make fibroids harder to detect. Your doctor may do these tests to look for fibroids:
If you have unusual bleeding, your doctor may do one of these procedures:
What type of treatment you have depends on:
Treatment for the symptoms of fibroids may include:
Surgery and procedures used to treat fibroids include:
National Uterine Fibroid Foundation - www.nuff.org
If you have fibroids without symptoms, you may not need treatment.
If you have fibroids, they may grow if you become pregnant. This is due to the increased blood flow and higher estrogen levels. The fibroids usually return to their original size after your baby is born.
Complications of fibroids include:
If you are pregnant, there's a small risk that fibroids also may cause complications:

CHARLESTON – Tennis Melvin Maynard, the man accused and indicted for shooting and killing Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum on April 3rd of this year has been indicted by a federal grand jury on ten counts related to illegally obtaining firearms by falsifying information on Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Form 4473 between the dates of March 7, 2010 and December 6, 2011.
The first purchase of a handgun made by Maynard was on March 7, 2010, and occurred directly after he was discharged from a mental institution where he had been medically treated since his court ordered admission date on Feb. 10, 2010. A Smith and Wesson .40 caliber pistol was purchased from Gander Mountain, a nationwide chain sporting goods store, located in the South Ridge Shopping Plaza in S. Charleston. Maynard represented on a Department of Justice ATF Form that he had never been committed to a mental institution.
On Oct. 7, 2010, the defendant purchased a second firearm from Gander Mountain, identified as a Walther, 380 pistol. Once again, Maynard falsified the ATF Form by answering no when asked if he had ever been committed to a mental institution. The third gun was purchased on Dec. 7, 2010 at B&B Loans, located in Logan. The gun was said to be a Glock Model 27, .40 caliber pistol, the firearm allegedly used in the slaying of Sheriff Crum.
Maynard then applied to purchase a fourth handgun at Johnny's Gun and Pawn located in Huntington on Oct. 11, 2011, but his request was denied when he failed the background check due to the information pertaining to his mental institution commitment being entered properly into the national database. The defendant made one more attempt to purchase a gun on Dec. 6, 2011 at Gander Mountain but was denied for the same reasons. Maynard had checked no on both applications when asked if he had ever been committed to a mental institution.
Count nine and ten stem from the two guns (a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber pistol and a Glock, Model 27, .40 caliber pistol) being in his possession when he was captured following his alleged fleeing from the crime scene on 3rd Avenue in Williamson where he stands accused of firing two shots at close range, striking Sheriff Crum in the head and fatally wounding him.
A Form 4473 is an application that an individual must complete when a firearm is purchased from a federally licensed firearms dealer. Making a false statement on this form is a felony. The indictment alleges that Maynard possessed a firearm on five separate occasions. At all of the times the defendant allegedly possessed a firearm, he had previously been committed to a mental institution. Maynard now faces up to 75 years in prison if he is convicted of these federal crimes.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin remarked about the recent indictment and stated that his office remains thoroughly committed to keeping guns out of the hands of individuals who cannot legally have them.
The investigation is being conducted by the ATF. Assistant United States Attorney Steven Lowe is in charge of the prosecution. The case is being brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, which is a nationwide commitment to reduce gun crime in the United States by networking existing local programs targeting gun crime.
Further updates on this case will be released to the public as they become available.
(Editor's Note: The charges contained in the indictment are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.)

Transferable skills are those abilities that students acquire based on life and work experiences, liberal arts education, extra-curricular activities, and community involvement.They are universal skills which transfer from one type of work to another without much effort on the student's part or training from the employer.Transferable skills are not specific to any one academic discipline; rather, they are the cognitive, academic, interpersonal and communication skills that apply to and are necessary to demonstrate competency in many different work settings.
In order for OSI students to effectively transfer their skills between organizational contexts and from the classroom to a corporate environment, they must also understand what that context is. For those students, the context for practicing transferable skills is the Warsaw/Kosciusko County area. Consequently, OSI students must understand the role and impact of these industries in the community, its current structure, and its response to changes in the environment.

* Prices may differ from that shown
For the past few years, I have counted myself lucky whenever I have spotted a can of Vanilla Coke when out and about, generally until quite recently the only places I could find it was American Sweet Shops i.e. Cyber Candy, or corner shops that branch out abit, though there aren't many of those about.
It's a shame because personally I really like Vanilla Coke and just as I was when Coffee Pepsi was discontinued, I was upset to see this go when it did.
For the past two years I have been following a page on Facebook entitled "BRING BACK VANILLA COKE" which is a campaign run by a group of people, it's thanks to them that out delicious drink is back, they created an online petition to get the attention of Coca-Cola and that they did, however for now Vanilla Coke is only a Limited Edition drink, which is a real shame, though hopefully popularity, will help keep it on the market!

Natural Flavourings including Caffeine
Taste Test
Since Vanilla Coke has come back, I have found a lot of people trying it for the first time, after some how not having tried it when it first came out, a lot of them say "It just tastes like normal Coke" I completely disagree with this, if you drink Vanilla Coke and then compare it with Ordinary Coke you will find the taste to be very, very different. For me Vanilla Coke has a lovely taste, the Vanilla is not faint, thought not overpowering, although what I would say is trying it ice cold and trying it ordinary completely changes the taste, I would also agree that once the drink goes flat it does taste much more like regular Coke.
I think this is a lot nicer compared to Cherry or Coke Zero, plus a lot more refreshing, but DRINK IT COLD.
It was first introduced everywhere in 2002, however it ended up being discontinued soon after in both America and the UK, though I suppose you never realise how much you'll miss something until it's gone right? By popular demand it was brought back in America in 2005, this then caused UK retailers to have it imported making the UK public very happy when they saw it and now thanks to a Facebook Campaign, it has finally been reintroduced into the UK in 2013 with open arms.
As much as I love Coco-Cola I do wish they would stop messing us about, I love this drink and I hope to god it does not get discontinued again, it's one of the best beverages on the market and I highly recommend!
Vanilla Coke first came out in the early 2000's, but was discontinued I believe around 2007. It was still on sale in the US and some other countries, and you could purchase online for much more than the retail price if you happened to be particularly keen to keep drinking it. However, this year (2013), due to high demand, Coca Cola have given in and reintroduced it to the UK market! This will be welcome news to the army of Vanilla Coke fans, who previously had to either do without or pay over the odds for it.
Vanilla Coke is, I would say, a real "love it or hate it" drink - a bit like marmite in a drink version (now that would be horrid!). Vanilla itself as a taste and fragrance tends to divide opinion, as some find it too sickly sweet and musky and prefer a more refreshing scent/flavour.
Although I personally love it in other forms such as scented candles and ice cream etc, I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about trying Vanilla Coke. It doesn't sound like the kind of combo that would work, and quite frankly doesn't sound very appealing . I have to urge doubters to try it though, as it really is a surprising flavour, and one that I now love!
The flavour of Vanilla Coke is very sweet, and reminds me of cream soda or ice cream coke floats. It's a real nostalgic treat and makes me think of summertime and being at a fairground or theme park! The vanilla flavour has a good balance - not too overpowering but still recognisable as vanilla.
At the time of this 2013 review, Vanilla Coke is only being sold in individual can or 500ml bottles, as (unfortunately for some) it's a limited edition again and not necessarily back for good.
I've only tried Vanilla Coke twice and it wasn't really something that I've fallen in love with. I notice that it seems to have disappeared from the supermarket shelves and so I don't think it is readily accessible to buy in the UK, but I have noticed that it is available on Amazon (www.amazon.co.uk) for £11.85 for 12 x 355ml cans - which equates to 99p per can - which is quite expensive for a canned drink, especially when you consider that a normal can of Coca Cola in a multi pack currently costs half of that from Tesco.
The Vanilla Coke comes in a traditional can with the Coke logo printed onto the can. It has the normal taste of Coca Cola. but with the added taste of vanilla. I have to admit that I really don't like it. I find that the vanilla taste is just far too overwhelming and it makes the drink really sickly sweet and just not very pleasant. I found that the vanilla was more than just a hint but was instead just too overwhelming and infused too heavily through the whole drink. Because of the sickly sweet taste, I found that after a few sips I really didn't feel like I could drink any more of it. On the second occasion that I tried it, I had it mixed with whiskey and I had the same sensation that it was just too sweet and it overpowered even the taste of the whiskey.
I really didn't enjoy this drink, and for that reason I just couldn't recommend it.
A few years back we all had the opportunity to purchase, try and thus become addicted to the wondrous flavour that is vanilla coke. I normally despise anything vanilla smelling or tasting but I thought I'd give it a shot as my first ever bottle of this was on special offer for half price back in the day so I wasn't bothered if I wasted about 50p on a drink I didn't like.
Turns out that was the best 50p I ever spent, so much so that I was happy enough to pay full price. But then coca cola had to go and break my heart by removing the marvellous stuff from UK stores and making it only available overseas in the US. However for christmas my partner bought me a crate of 12 cans which made my day as it had been years since I had tasted it!
Funny thing is, the added ingredient isn't actually vanilla, if you read the side of the can it tells you that they have added caramel to it (so I guess that's why I don't mind the vanilla effect?) but it does smell like vanilla but not as potent.
In my eyes nothing compares to this drink as it tastes so good, of course it's not doing my teeth or my waist any favours but it's totally worth every penny and every moment. So if you want to try this drink or even miss it and didn't realize it was available to import, you can find it online at trusted american sweet/candy stores where you can also get other brands and types of food and drink that are either discontinued or not available at all in the UK such as Nerdz, laffy taffy, and wonka bars! Go on, treat yourself! It's worth it.
Vanilla Coke was a different type of Coke which was released in the UK and then was straight away taken of the shelves in less than year! So what went wrong?
The drink cost 60 p if you got a can, When I drank this drink at first I was shocked at how sweet it was. Vanilla mixed with Coke just does not go well because the taste is just too sweet, Vanilla does taste good on its own but now with the coke, The taste of these two combined was one enough to make me puke. The taste is just too sweet and you can taste the vanilla more in the drink than the Coke, Once you sip it down you can feel the vanilla still there which does not taste right for me.
It just never felt like a Coke product to me at all more like a cheap drink product the taste just did not go well together at all. I guess some people may have liked it but the majority must have not seeing the fact it was taken off quickly? I am sure they do not even sell these any more?
The drink was taken of the shelves because it did not sell and a lot of people found the drink to be disgusting, If the Coke company was to send this one back again they should make the drink better by removing the vanilla much more from the taste, So we can taste Coke and a little bit of Vanilla which would help the drink sell maybe.
Overall it was a drink I thought would be decent but it was no where near that! I rather not have a drink at all than have the Vanilla Coke it was that bad in my opinion.
Vanilla coke was a short lived drink in the UK at least which added vanilla to coke, the drink never really became popular and is now impossible to find in the shops. The drink was endemic about 5 years in which adverts trying to portray it as a drink with an edge, the advertising campaign featured an Chazz Palmeteri from The Usual Suspects going around forcing people to drink the product, because it had an edge and rewarding them for being inquisitive.
The taste
Vanilla coke is a drink which is popular in North America, it's available in most fast food outlets and seems to be joined at the hip with burgers and fries. The classic drink is coke with a blast of sweetness from the vanilla, it is sold usually with a float in and seems to taste good with the fatty saltiness of the burger and fries. The problem came when they tried to sell the drink without the combo of burger and fries, the drink is still sweet and sugary but as a stand alone drink it fails to work.
Vanilla coke is I think too sweet for most drinkers palate, it has the inherent sweetness from the sugar but also has the impact of the vanilla syrup which makes the drink far too sweet. Coke pulled the product in 2005, but there are hints it could return in some format in the near future.
I quite enjoyed the flavour, I have a sweet tooth and loved the extra hit of sweetness from the vanilla admittedly in only the diet version. Vanilla also gave the drink a slight caramel feel and added an extra dimension to the drink. Will I drink it if its relaunched in the UK? Probably but don't need the burger and fries to go along with it.
Whatever happened to Vanilla Coke? I use to be obsessed with it, but it seems to have faded into the distance just like pogs and the yo-yo did. Its fair to say i now have to make do with Fanta Fruit Twist since the loss of the vanilla product. I find it hard to understand why Coke manufactures still produce Cherry Coke and Lime Coke, but have stopped the production in the UK of Vanilla Coke. The taste was sensational in comparison to Cherry and Lime Coke, although make sure if you ever do find a bottle of this rocket fuel, make sure its cold, it doesnt quite taste the same when it hasnt been chilled.
I wonder whether it is worthy of putting a petition up on facebook, i often wonder how many people like myself miss Vanilla Coke. I didnt think much to the diet option though, i always thought "if your going to drink a soft drink, at least do it properly, right?"
10 out of 10 in my eyes :)
It's fair to say that Vanilla Coke is a pretty damn scarce drink to find these days, which is a shame considering it's also a lovely tasting beverage that takes the lovely taste of regular Coke and enhances it with a powerful kick of Vanilla. The last time I ever saw them on sale was at Thorpe Park in 2007 - I have no idea why they're not sold anymore, as I'm sure they must have sold quite well!
Vanilla Coke has a very unique, slightly strange taste, but if you've ever had an Ice Cream Float (which is lumps of vanilla ice cream dumped in a glass of coke), then that's pretty much what this tastes like (and that's a great thing!). It appears that Ice Cream Floats aren't consumed by too many people, because otherwise this Vanilla variant would surely have stuck around. It's a shame because it was a nice, slightly cosmopolitan addition to their already impressive array of flavours, including Cherry and Lime.
Some things are a bit of a gimmick, like arguably the Lime version of Coke, but Vanilla has a far more subtle taste to it - Lime is rather distinct and jarring, whereas Vanilla is noticeable, but no so much that it ever overpowers the great tasting Coke. It was more a well suited complement to the taste, but sadly it may never grace our mouths again, unless *crosses fingers* Coke see some sense, and people see some sense and buy the stuff!
I have been a particularly avid drinker of soft drinks. In fact other than milk and water, there is no other non-alcoholic drink I enjoy dipping my tastebuds in (other than a sneaky diet coke on rare occasions.)
Vanilla coke was a different story though. When this creation was available I drank it in droves. A lot of people complained that the vanilla taste was too overwhelming, that it was too much. Bull cocky I say! Vanilla coke was a God amongst soft drinks with it's smooth flavour and thirst quenching satisfaction.
Even the advertising was good. Remember the commerical where a guy walks past a gaping hole in a wall, double takes, sticks his head in only to be congratulated on his curiousity by a man holding a vanilla coke. He got a sip, told 'thanks for dropping by' and then removed his head and walked on.
I hear this was removed due to poor sale but I cannot believe it was the worst selling of all the coke variants. While this is not the place to rant, I feel Vanilla coke's removal is a crime second only to the genocide of wispa Gold's.
Why oh why oh why did they stop selling this in the UK?!
I love going abroad anyway, but it really makes my day when I'm on holiday and I can get vanilla coke!! Then it just makes me sad and frustrated that I can't get it t home when I can seemingly everywhere else I've been in the world!!
It's basically what it says on the tin, literally. Coke or Diet Coke with a vanilla scent and flavour to it. More delicate than the sharp overtones of lime or lemon coke, but a deeper, richer scent and taste overall.
I find it hard to believe that this was taken off of the shelves due to bad sales...I for one bought loads of the stuff, and know of many people who also miss it and would like it back!!
Normal Coke is ok, and it does the job...I'm also fond of the cherry coke I've just found...but I really would like the vanilla one back!!
This is one of those drinks that if you can get your hands on it you really have to try. I think they must have put some sort of addictive substance in it, because I know that for the life of me I couldn't get enough of it when it was on general sale here in the UK back pre 2006.
This coke came in both full fat and diet flavours, so if you wanted you could pick and choose between healthy and non-healthy at a whim.
At first taste the coke seems rather bizarre and for no apparent reason. It's nice. It's sweet, but it tastes a little weird. I think it's only once you place that Vanilla is a flavour typically associated with ice creams that it makes sense and you start to enjoy it. You realise that you are actually drinking a liquid version of an ice cream float, you know the one you see in the movies? Where you have the coke, or more commonly lemonade, and put a dollop of vanilla ice cream on touch with a straw? Well that's what this is - the coke version anyway!
Sadly poor sales (or at least I would presume poor sales) have stopped coke from selling this in the UK, which is a real shame - even if it was just brought back as a summer flavour I'm sure it'd be a winner again...that said the one thing I never tried was making an ice cream float with it - a chance missed I feel!
Although perhaps a little sweet for some pallets I think it's fair to say this flavour must have been more popular than that goodness awful lime flavour they still have in production! If you see this whilst abroad then pick a can up and give it a go. You won't be dissapointed.
Why oh why they stopped selling this in the UK I will never know. I am now forced to take a round trip to Geneva once a year and pick up the product. It is still sold in several countries around the world. I have spied it on sale, albeit in a limited stock, in Germany and France. However, it seems their days are short numbered as Coke realise it really isnt that popular.
Like many, my first experience with Vanilla Coke was purely accidental, having picked up a standard Coke and not eyeing up the packaging very carefully. I was annoyed with myself for not paying more attention; not least because, like many, I have made the same mistake with the awful Cherry Coke.
I was pleasantly suprised by the taste. It was tangy and zesty with a refreshing soothness. This was in France, 2003, where the bottle was marketed as Coke Vanille. Upon my return to the UK, I stocked up.
OK, so you can make your own "Coke float" with Vanilla ice-cream...but it isn't the same. Come on Coca-Cola, introduce it again.
'Coca-Cola Vanilla' - previously known as 'Vanilla Coke', was first released to some European countries in 1992. When it made its debut in the UK a year later, the product had a mixed reaction. At first sales were high, mainly due to the curiosity factor (which was actually how the product was first marketed - with the "Reward Your Curiosity" campaign), however sales quickly diminished, and the product was subsequently discontinued in Britain by the start of 2006. However, as of 2007, the product was re-instated to the American, New Zealand, and Chinese market.
The idea for combining coke and vanilla apparently was first experimented with at the 1982 World's Fair in Tennessee. Therefore, the Coca-Cola company had a few years to think about how to perfect the product, which they actually quoted would be "the greatest innovation since Diet Coke" - hmm - how wrong they would be!
I only ever tried Coca-Cola Vanilla on a few occasions, and I don't think I got off to the best start with the product. My first experience was on a hot day, and I purchased a can from a vending machine. Unfortunately, the machine was malfunctioning, and the can of Vanilla Coke arrived in my hands hot. As I was thirsty, I drank it anyway - but it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences. I found it sickly, and because of its warmth, it did little to quench my thirst. I gave it another go a week later - this time with a cold version, but still wasn't impressed. Again it just didn't taste right to me - I expected a Coke flavour, but instead I got ice-cream.
Coca-Cola Vanilla is an interesting product, and I know a lot of people enjoy it, but it's just not for me - Give me a regular coke anyday.
I wish it the best of luck.
I love vanilla coke and it's a real inconvenience to have to order and create it myself with a soda fountain machine. I think if you don't like it then cool, don't buy or drink it. By having options you are not ruining the original. I hear this crap on remakes of movies and things like this all the time. They ruined the movie with the remake why not just leave it alone. The original is a classic... Hey dumb ass. The original still exists and is no different than before. It's like me saying I like purple so why did GOD ruin the world with the rainbow of all them other colors. I drive a chevy truck so why do they ruin things by having other model cars & trucks available. I love pink shirts. I'm so upset people like wearing something else. How stupid! I don't like pepsi but they of course have a vanilla pepsi. Since I don't like pepsi I guess it should be banned. Give me a break. On the fountain drinks they add 50% creme soda to coke/diet coke to get the
vanilla coke taste. I drink coke zero, I wonder if a bit of vanilla extract added or something like that would have a effect similair to the vanilla coke that was sold. Vanilla coke drinkers unite!!!
Take a perfectly good tasting bottle of Coke then ruin it completely by adding Vanilla flavour to it, this at some point seemed a good idea to those people at Coca Cola.
I first tried this drink for no apparent reason, I could have had a normal Coke or anything else for that matter but I picked up a 500ml bottle of Coke with Vanilla and headed off to the counter to pay for it.
When purchased it was out the fridge but by the time I got round to drinking it (about 1 hour later) it was quite warm. I took a big mouthful and it foamed up in my mouth and all I could taste was the vanilla, no sign of a cola taste at all.
I decided that as I had no chance to get out to the shop for another bottle of juice and the only thing on offer in the way of drinks at my office was tea or coffee that I would stick the bottle back in the fridge for a bit then have it later.
After around an hour and a half in the fridge I returned to this drink but I have to say it was little or no better cold than it had been warm. The taste of vanilla was still far too strong although Coca Cola claim it to be only a hint of vanilla.
I do quite like vanilla but I expected just a background hint through the coke and instead I got a huge vanilla hit with very little cola taste, not enjoyable in my opinion.
I believe this disaster has gone from our shelves now and hopefully forever, it was a bad idea and should be confined to history now. Coca Cola have since added different types of flavouring to their cola and some have been quite good, my favourite being Coke with lemon as it is just a hint of lemon through the cola, by all means Coca Cola give us flavours but don't over power the cola taste!!

The Bachelorette
Jef Holm Is a Man of the People, Hangs With Rabid Fan (PHOTO)
Jef Holm is a man of the people — much like his homeboy, Mormon Jesus. When this Bachelorette Season 8 winner / lover of knee socks isn't busy running People Water while simultaneously running his hands through his hair, he can usually be found friending random ladies. It's a curse and a blessing, guys.
Check out this recent picture of Jef and his coif cheesing at the camera with a lucky fan. First of all, she looks completely blissed out and can probably retire from life, and Jef is the same perfect angel that he always is. Only with slightly messier hair.
Also, shout out to that blonde lady in the background who clearly doesn't realize that she's standing three feet away from everyone's favorite studly heartbreaker. Unless the reason her mouth is open is due to a failed attempt to inhale Jef's scent (he smells like yoga, cuddles, and the beach.)

Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Georgia Southern
Hanner Fieldhouse – Statesboro, Ga.
Monday – Feb. 3, 2014
Head Coach Jim Foster
On the play in the opening half:
"We didn't play very hard and we played very individualistic. We only had one assist in the first half and that is not indicative of us when we are good. Much better job in the second half."
On the play of Georgia Southern:
"They have an interesting team. They are .500 in the league. They can cause problems. They have three guards that can shoot. They have three than can shoot it 40% or better from the three-point line. And they have two big, strong post players that can do some damage. We have to be a little bit more hard-nosed. Ashlen has to be a little bit smarter.
"Without Faith, we are down to two centers and one of those is a freshman. She has a tendency to get a bad foul in the first half. Just a silly foul. Its inevitable there is going to be another foul because there is some kind of contact. It might not be a bad foul, it might be a legit foul, but she has to eliminate the bad fouls. Little things like that as you progress through the season we need to do. We sort of have the tendency that we are not as good the second game through. I address that in the locker room and that has to change too."
On the play of Taylor Hall tonight:
"She did a good job. She was on the boards and she knocked down her foul shots. She took advantage of some opportunities when we needed a big basket."
Senior Taylor Hall
On her overall play tonight:
"I still missed a lot of shots, but they fouled me late in the game, so they gave me more opportunities."
On scoring off an offensive rebound in the second half:
"That is something we can control…crashing the boards offensively. And doing our job defensively. We were not hitting shots throughout the game, but was able to get one. I missed the first one, but I was able to grab it again and get fouled."
On battling for rebounds:
"People ask me sometimes, what are you thinking or what are you trying to do? I have no answer for that. I just go with it and try to find a way to the basket.
On scoring 1,000 career points:
"My teammates told me after the game. I had no idea."
