Starbucks Offers Alcohol Beverages to Boost Evening Sales. Starbucks’ strategy to rock the coffee world with the addition of alcohol leaves some doubtful of its potential success. First Starbucks rolled out Via, a line of instant coffee that threatened to undermine the company’s core identity as a premium coffee vendor. Then came the “stealth Starbucks” stores, locations stripped of the company name and logo meant to blend into their neighborhoods. Now Starbucks, a name synonymous with “coffee” in America, has started serving beer and wine in one location and may eventually serve alcohol in thousands of stores worldwide.

And all of these developments have happened in little more than 18 months.Considering the three seismic shifts in Starbucks’ strategy came after the closure of nearly 1,000 stores and the slashing of 18,000 U.S. jobs, one might wonder if the Seattle-based company is flailing as it nears its 40-year anniversary in 2011. <div class="disqus-noscript"><a href=" Do Lemmings Commit Suicide? : Top 10 Animal Myths.

Coordinates: November 29, 1961: The SL-1 reactor vessel being removed from the reactor building, which acted substantially like the containment building used in modern nuclear facilities.

The 60-ton Manitowoc Model 3900 crane had a 5.25-inch (13.3 cm) steel shield with a 9-inch (23 cm) thick lead glass window to protect the operator. The SL-1, or Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, was a United States Army experimental nuclear power reactor which underwent a steam explosion and meltdown on January 3, 1961, killing its three operators.

The direct cause was the improper withdrawal of the central control rod, responsible for absorbing neutrons in the reactor core. The event is the only known reactor incident in the United States which resulted in immediate fatalities.[1][2] The incident released about 80 curies (3.0 TBq) of iodine-131,[3] which was not considered significant due to its location in a remote desert of Idaho.

Update January 12, 2011: First WikiLeaks’ Cable Mentioning UFOs Released A new report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared for President Medvedev by Russian Space Forces (VKS) 45th Division of Space Control says that an upcoming WikiLeaks release of secret US cables details that the Americans have been “engaged” since 2004 in a “war” against UFO’s based on or near the Continent of Antarctica, particularly the Southern Ocean.

According to this report, the United States went to its highest alert level on June 10, 2004 after a massive fleet of UFO’s “suddenly emerged” from the Southern Ocean and approached Guadalajara, Mexico barely 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) from the American border. Prior to reaching the US border, however, this massive UFO fleet is said in this report to have “dimensionally returned” to their Southern Ocean “home base”. “The arms to fight in the sky a long time, The tree in the middle of the city fallen: Sacred bough clipped, steel, in the face of the firebrand, Beers filling from bottom - Page 2 - The Rogan Board.
