- Good Food, Good service, expensive!SpiritedsharonDined on 9/27/2014Sat outside on a lovely fall evening. Food was very good. The service was very attentive, but the waiter needs to learn the etiquette of asking before taking away glasses. Everything was a la carte. Three people/three salads/three glasses of wine/three entrees/one side order of potatoes/one complimentary BD desert was close to $170. The Macdanamia bread pudding was wonderful and so was my daughter's salmon on a plank. I had three mini filets prepared three ways. It was good but could have been warmer and had a little more flavor. Extremely tender. The Oscar one was my favorite--so glad I ate it last. My husband had pork, but didn't comment on it much, so cannot say. Extremely noisy inside; recommend sitting outdoors or upstairs.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/23/2014Enjoyed our evening at Watermarc. Service was excellent, sat at the front window.

- Thank You WatermarcLasVegasVisitorsDined on 9/6/2014My husband and I dined at the Watermarc on September 6 for our one year wedding anniversary.

The evening was wonderful and we very much appreciated the attention to detail, thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A gem at the beachcheers2UDined on 9/6/2014This restaurant will quench your hunger for an adult location, with vibrant food only viewed on the Food Network, displayed on your plate. Not pretentious in the least but the food speaks volumes in taste bud etiquette! The service mirrors the food quality and clearly there is training and communication amongst the team. A great experience that warrants repeated visits.Special Features:
- Great PlaceMarleneDined on 9/6/2014I made reservations here for my sister and her husband fir their ten year anniversary. They both loved it.

- Another great Cohen restaurant!TishDined on 8/30/2014Our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner at Watermarc. They have a wonderful room upstairs that perfectly accommodated our group of 30 plus. Food/service was fabulous! Watermarc is the sister restaurant to "230 Forest" (another great Cohen restaurant). I purchased gift certificates at Watermarc (good for all 3 Cohen restaurants) for wedding "thankyou's". Watermarc in turn gave me a gift certicate for 10% of that cost! We dined there this weekend and had fabulous dinner (Halubut scampi and their 1855 New York). The wine list is great, they always have a super "featured" wine. Service was super! GM Lucy was wonderful at our rehearsal dinner. She remembered us and took good care of us Saturday night. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:

- Best Seabass Anywhere - Really!lagunatic345VIPDined on 8/26/2014Not out first time at Watermarc, but every time the food has been perfectly prepared. I had requested a table upstairs with our reservation because it is usually quieter and this was a special birthday celebration. That table was not available but they had saved the best table in the house instead. We had a lovely evening and we will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Tapas!heysunshinegirlDined on 8/24/2014I went there with my Mom for a drink and some small plates before Pageant of the Masters. The small plates were fantastic. I definitely recommend the ahi skewers and the crab cakes with the sweet potato hash. We also had the special which was fresh figs wrapped in prosciutto with burrata and baby kale salad. Delicious! If you are in the area, definitely check it out.Special Features:
- High Marks for WatermarcwillforfoodVIPDined on 8/24/2014Fine service, food and ambiance. Perfect for a reunion of friends on a sunny California Sunday. Loved this place!Special Features:
- Not the greatest foodFoodLovRDined on 8/23/2014Try not to be seated upstairs. Very tight, tables are too close together. Felt like I was dining at the same table with the people next to us. The paella was soupy and the half of lobster was slimy/mushy and watery, never seen that before.
- Solid performanceJJManDined on 8/22/2014We ate at Watermarc on a Friday evening and had a very nice experience. We tend to eat at many of the 'trendy' places and found Watermarc to be a high quality option. Several appetizers and main courses were all high quality preparations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My Laguna FavoritemochiDined on 8/21/2014A bit more formal than the usual seaside attire I've seen on Laguna Beach. Upscale yet unpretentious which is so refreshing coming from NYC. Their bread and butter are made in house, a red wine butter that I haven't tasted the likes of anywhere else. A great list of specialty cocktails. I suggest trying their specials and the Steak 3 ways. Hosts were gracious even though we were late for our reservation. Server was very informative and professional but at the same time friendly and never hurried us even though we were one of the last to leave. Windows open up to the street, people stroll by and the beach is only a few blocks away. I really like the feel of the place, relaxing atmosphere, great food, as well as proximity to the beach.Special Features:
- Lunch with Bert.RevDaveVIPDined on 8/21/2014Great table by the window. Our server, Alex, was very attentive and explained the menu to us. The menu is a nice mix of small shareable plates as well as the more traditional fare. I'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GoodcaptaintaxDined on 8/19/2014We have made this our go to restaurant in Laguna. If you want to try a lot of different things you can stick to their small plates or choose from the entrees. We usually do both and roll out of there. Fortunately it is in the heart of downtown so there are plenty of places to walk it off after. I always finish things off with their lunch box dessert of homemade ding dongs.Special Features:
- we'll be back....AnnaVIPDined on 8/18/2014Like most of the Laguna restaurants, Watermarc is tight on space, but they make up for it with excellent food, very good service and beautiful presentation. I had the beet carpaccio and the paella; hubby had the chopped salad and nite's special of diver scallops over a bed of mushroom risotto. We left well fed and very happy. Need to return and try more!Special Features:
- Always GoodTDinner49Dined on 8/18/2014As always there small plates and grazing is the thing to do.Special Features:
- THE BESTHappyDined on 8/16/2014Watermarc continues to impress. This gem of a restaurant in our hometown never disappoints. Food, service, table, ambiance, special occasion treat for everyone. We consider this our special occasion restaurant but I think I will have to edit that by calling it my "once a week restaurant". Thank you again for a memorable evening upstairs with friends.Special Features:
- Great TapasKitkatDined on 8/15/2014We had dinner at Watermarc on Friday night, August, 15. Generally, the drinks and tapas (flat bread, oysters and lamb) were top notch, although the "Dark and Stormy" tasted terrible, so we opted for "Fire and Ice" which was terrific! Seafood entres (scallops and paella) were way too salty. Service was attentive and accommodating when we sent the "Dark and Stormy" back. Would go again, but just for cocktails and tapas.
- Anniversary DinnerJG33Dined on 8/14/2014We made reservations for our anniversary dinner at Watermarc in Laguna Beach and found everything about it oustanding. Plus...the best comped anniversary dessert we've ever had!Special Features:
- Too richQwertyDined on 8/11/2014The food taste fine, but very rich. Was with our 2 daughters and wasn't looking to spend $170 for dinner (no drinks).
- Fantastic!ForeverFoodieDined on 8/9/2014We had a wonderful experience with the exception we were both gluten-free for health reasons, not by choice. We let the server know this from the start; he even said he would make sure things were prepared gluten-free. My dish was served on a toasted round (not gluten-free) and was topped with crispy onions (not gluten-free) and surprise dessert was bread pudding (so not gluten-free). We will be back but will make sure we are very clear about the seriousness of having our meal prepared GF.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Land And Sea OptionsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/9/2014Get the 3 filet to have a nice variety of flavors.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My new favoritefussyfoodieVIPDined on 8/9/2014I have only eaten at Watermarc a few times, but it is my new favorite restaurant. The reason is consistency. While a couple of my other regular spots offer great food and service, they sometimes have off days or times when the entrees aren't quite right. Every time we've been to Watermarc, the food has been prepared perfectly. This last time, we both had chilean sea bass as our entrees and it was perfection, along with the vegetables, which included asparagus and artichokes. The nut cake was a great desert. We also always find a wine by the glass that we like and is reasonably priced. We'll be back.Special Features:
- Amazing Experience!TANTVIPDined on 8/9/2014My husband and I had a marvelous meal there. I had the best seafood paella that I've ever had. My husband ordered the filet mignon trio. They were a little too well done, and there could have been more sauce on the plate. Everything else was wonderful, including our small table on the terrace.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fun placefood365Dined on 8/8/2014I've visited this place twice so far. I'm not from California so it was just coincidence that came to the same area before and this place has a vibrant feel to it. However this time wasn't as impressed as last time just a year ago. Food was slow to come in. Not as good as I remembered and service was also a bit slow and yes it was a very busy night but I believe this is the norm.Special Features:
- InterestingPOMvolunteersVIPDined on 8/8/2014We had Sizzling Shrimp, Blackened NY Steak and Filet Three Ways which were excellent. Also ordered Potato Trio which was disappointing - pureed to much almost pure starch. Had "Lunch Box" for dessert which was cute but just okay. Good location and friendly efficient staff. We will be back.Special Features:
- OUTSTANDING!SharonaDined on 8/8/2014WATERMARC was recommended to us by a friend and we weren't disappointed. Our server, Matt, was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and didn't hover. We highly recommend it and will definitely return the next time we are in Laguna.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Delicious!LVFoodieDined on 8/7/2014From patio dining to inside Watermarc never disappoints. The menu is diverse from homemade tomato soup with grilled cheese finger sandwiches to seafood paella brimming with a half lobster, mussels, shrimp and calamari to tender fall off the bone beef short ribs. Extensive cocktail menu and desserts. Great place!Special Features:
- Mark Cohen has another winnder!LagunarnDined on 8/7/2014Driving from the Laguna Play house at 5:00 PM to the Watermarc is quite the battle but worth the hassle! Parking is another major headache for any restaurant on PCH. The food was excellent; the shrimp appetizer and the pistachio crusted lamb chops were wonderful! Next time we will park at one of the parking lots on the Canyon Road and take the bus down to avoid the traffic...however, you get there this is an restaurant.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/3/2014It was Spectacularly mediocre... Pork was dry but lamb chops were the best meal. Only saving grace was the excellent waiter we had.

Bluebeard (Gilles de Rais, or de Retz, also de Laval, circa 1404-1440) A French baron, a marshal of France, and a wealthy landowner, de Rais married into an even wealthier family at age sixteen. He fought alongside Joan of Arc at the Battle of Orléans, then at age twenty-eight he suddenly retired from public life and began the study of alchemy with the intent of finding the philosopher's stone.
He soon gained the reputation of a sorcerer, taking into his service a number of rogues who promised him success in his search for untold wealth. He maintained an outward innocence and gentle attitude at the same time he was slaughtering children as sacrifices to the demons who he was told could satisfy his needs.
As more and more children went missing in the area, the evidence against him mounted, and he was finally arrested. At his trial in 1440 he confessed to the most heinous crimes imaginable, his confession being considerably facilitated by torture, of course. He was put to death by the Holy Inquisition for his crimes, one of the relatively few justified executions performed by this Holy Office. Because of his high position, de Rais was given the privilege of being strangled before he was burned. A nice touch.
He earned the name Bluebeard (Barbe Bleue) from his glossy black beard, and by that name he has come down through history as a character in children's stories.

NEW ORLEANS - When DeMar DeRozan made his All-Star debut on Sunday, checking in for the first time at the outset of the second quarter, he immediately looked like he belonged.
It took 22 seconds for DeRozan to get on the board, taking a lob pass from Joakim Noah and converting the easy layup before knocking down his next two shots.
For the Raptors' fifth-year guard, this moment was one he had been dreaming about for a long time but to his credit, he never looked out of place.
"Honestly, I wasn't nervous at all," he told TSN.ca after scoring eight points in 15 minutes of action for the victorious Eastern Conference squad. "I thought I was going to be nervous before the game but as soon as I went out there I wasn't nervous at all."
"It didn't feel like there was any pressure, like you were playing in front of all these people. They just made it fun, honestly. I didn't have no jitters."
After a lackluster slate of Saturday night events, the big show did not disappoint. Combined, 318 points were scored - an All-Star record - with the East defeating the West by a score of 163-155. The frenetic pace fit DeRozan's game like a glove.
"All we do is get out and run, wings get out and run, push it," he said. "It's an opportunity to get fast-break dunks, layups, sorts of things like that so it fits well for a player like me."
The East overcame an 18-point deficit, closing out the night on a 10-0 run to win for the first time in four years. Their 163 points were the most scored in an All-Star Game.
DeRozan's All-Star experience has been surreal. From watching his young teammates Jonas Valanciunas and Terrence Ross compete in the Rising Stars Challenge and the Slam Dunk Contest - both events that he has participated in himself - to sharing the bench with former a teammate and nine-time All-Star Chris Bosh on Sunday, he's had to pinch himself on more than one occasion.
It didn't hit him until Sunday evening, as he arrived at Smoothie King Center, walked in the locker room and saw a row of All-Star jerseys instead of his usual Raptors duds.
"There's only a select few that get to put on the All-Star jersey," he realizes.
That experience of being among them and gaining the respect that accompanies the All-Star tag - which he'll wear next to his name for the duration of his career and beyond - was far more valuable than the 15 minutes he logged in the game.
"It was a great experience, man," he said. "Just going out there and having fun with the league's best, to be in that same category is great."
It may have been his first appearance in the league's midseason classic, but the Raptors' leading scorer is determined not to make it his last.
"[I have to] work harder than I did this previous summer to be a better player," said DeRozan, who is averaging a career-best 22.4 points this season. "I can't slow down. Now I'm a target. Players are going to go at me and understand that I've got the All-Star next to my name. Just continue working, don't be complacent with anything and keep pushing."
Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving - a controversial selection when he was voted in as a starter by the fans last month - took home game MVP honours after scoring 31 points to go along with 14 assists. He was a perfect 11-for-11 from inside the three-point arch, many of those field goals were layups.
"How Kyrie makes his layups is amazing," DeRozan said of his Eastern Conference teammate. "You can't deny [him] when he gets to the basket; you can't play him a certain way because he can finish with either hand, off either leg and he's so creative with it. It was cool to see him go out and play."
Sunday was a night of broken records for both sides. Carmelo Anthony, who had 30 points for the East, connected on eight three pointers, most in an All-Star Game.
Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin had 38 points apiece for the West, coming just shy of Wilt Chamberlain's mark of 42. 10 of Griffin's All-Star Game record 19 field goals were dunks.

Nearly every MLB game involves a great catch or two, but the one that stole the show at Target Field on Thursday afternoon was made by someone who wasn't even on the playing field.
Stories of the ball boy's catch are already circulating across the Internet -- and it was quite a feat, completed by a man with strong baseball blood lines.
As part of the tarp crew, Paul Neshek's other job is to sit along the third base line during the game, field foul balls and protect the fans.
"I take it seriously," he told FOX 9 News. "I try as hard as I can."
Thankfully, Neshek was on top of his game on Thursday.
"I didn't think I was going to get it and I hit myself on my stool, did a flip and came down pretty hard," he recalled. "I got up and the ball was in my glove."
The jumping catch was so spectacular, it even earned praise from the announcers. Neshek explained he made it with the help of the glove he got in junior high.
"Never leave home without it," he said.
Afterward, Neshek found himself giving autographs to stunned Twins fans.
"That was amazing," said Dave Cappa, a Twins fan who watched it all unfold. "The ball was just smashed, coming this way, everyone cringing. The kid jumps up -- four feet high -- and snags the ball, falls on his back. Amazing catch."
Speaking of cringing, the announcers were quick to note that Neshek may have saved someone from getting hurt in the stands -- and indeed he did.
"I was pretty scared," admitted Ray Schwarz. "I thought it was going to hit me right in the face."
Schwarz said he had just settled back into his seat at the top of the fourth with a cheeseburger and a beer when the ball headed straight for him. Luckily, Neshek sprang into action.
"I have a much greater appreciation for the ball boy for catching that ball," Schwarz said.
Until FOX 9 News showed him cellphone footage, Neshek hadn't yet seen the play.
"It's overwhelming," he said. "I didn't think I got up that high."
The moment certainly marked a high point for Neshek, who has seen his own family members in the spotlight before. Former Twin Pat Neshek is his brother, after all. When asked what it was like to be the focus on game day, Paul Neshek described it as "kind of crazy," and added that he's "very appreciative."
Neshek even impressed the players on the field.
"Pretty impressive," remarked Josh Willingham.

Mayor-Elect Rahm Emanuel named Rochester, N.Y. Schools Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard as his choice to head Chicago's Public Schools.
Emanuel said Brizard was the right choice because he was both an administrator and an educator. Recent CPS chiefs under Daley have been criticized by education activists because they came from a business background instead of an education background.
Brizard is Haitian and the son of two teachers, Emanuel said, and has been a teacher and administrator.
Brizard read a brief statement saying students must be put first and "there is no greater calling" than education but did not take any questions.
Emanuel said he interviewed six or seven candidates for the job.
Brizard's appointment will have to be approved by Board of Education. Emanuel said he expects Brizard to be on the job May 16, the day of his inauguration.
At a press conference convened later at the headquarters of the Chicago Teachers Union, you could have fried an egg on the foreheads of union leaders, who are furious about Brizard's support of merit pay, among other things.
"Teachers don't respond to dangling material incentives," CTU Vice President Jesse Sharkey said. "All the research [shows merit pay] poisons the well."
Emanuel also introduced several other new additions to CPS. Dr. Noemi Donoso, chief of innovation and reform for Denver Public Schools, will be the new CPS chief education officer. In addition, Tim Cawley will be chief operating officer, Diana Ferguson will stay on as chief financial officer, Andrea Sáenz will be chief of staff, Becky Carroll will be chief communications officer, Patrick Rocks will stay on as general counsel and Alicia Winckler will stay on as chief human capital officer.
There will be an entirely new Board of Education when Emanuel takes office. David Vitale, a former CPS chief administrative officer under Arne Duncan when he was CEO, will be the new president of the Chicago Board of Education. The vice chair will be Jesse Ruiz, current chair of the Illinois Board of Education. Emanuel said each member of the current board of education has agreed to step down. New board members will be Henry Bienen, Dr. Mahalia Hines, Penny Pritzker, Rod Sierra and Andrea Zopp.
Emanuel would not say what Brizard will be paid.
Brizard would replace interim chief Terry Mazany, who stepped in after Ron Huberman resigned in November. Huberman said he had no desire to serve another mayor when Mayor Richard Daley said he wouldn't seek another term.
Huberman's last day in the $230,000-a-year job was Nov. 29.
Former CPS CEO Arne Duncan, who is currently the White House's Secretary of Education, said in a statement that Emanuel had made good choices.
"I want to commend Chicago Mayor-elect Rahm Emanuel for choosing a diverse and outstanding team to lead the Chicago Public Schools and take education reform forward," Duncan said. "Like many schools districts, Chicago faces considerable educational and budgetary challenges, but the people announced today bring tremendous experience, knowledge and commitment to the job."
Daley picked Mazany to serve as interim schools chief. Mazany was on loan to the city from his job as head of the Chicago Community Trust, a grant-making foundation.

**** yea. Manny with the RBI double.
**** yea. Manny with the RBI double.
By the way I don't know if you guys saw this but earlier the Giants intentionally walked Jason Kendall to get the pitcher up with 2 outs and Gallardo ending up hitting a home run.
So let's all laugh at the Giants.
Kuo looks like he's in mid-season form.
Let's all cross our fingers and pray his arm holds this season.

The Resistance is the fifth studio album by English alternative rock band Muse, released in Europe on 14 September 2009.
The album was produced by the band and mixed by Mark Stent.
In terms of sound and sonic vision, "The Resistance" is their most ambitious long-player yet, which is clearly saying something. They have blown up the robo-Funk/monster riff/stadium Space Rock sound of Black Holes and widened their viewfinder even further to take in an even greater horizon of sound. For Muse, reverting to a successful template would be simply meaningless.
An unbelievable fusion of heavy rock, 80s style synths, classical and opera. Dark and edgy in that particular Muse-like way, yet somehow fun and uplifting at the same time. Overall, this album is a fantastic collection of musical varieties that you will listen to again and again.
Muse - The Resistance Track Listing
1. "Uprising" – 5:02
2. "Resistance" - 5:46
3. "Undisclosed Desires" - 3:56
4. "United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)" - 5:47
5. "Guiding Light" – 4:13
6. "Unnatural Selection" - 6:54
7. "MK Ultra" - 4:06
8. "I Belong to You (+Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix)" - 5:38
9. "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 1 (Overture)" - 4:18
10. "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 2 (Cross-Pollination)" - 3:56
11. "Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption)" - 4:37
Bonus DVD
1. "The Making of The Resistance" – 43:53
All songs written and arranged by Matthew Bellamy (with exception of: "Collateral Damage", which is a loose recital of Nocturne in E flat major, Op. 9, No. 2 by Frédéric Chopin; and "Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix", from the opera Samson and Delilah, written by Camille Saint-Saëns).
The album's first single, "Uprising", was released on 7 September 2009 and peaked at number one on U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs.
Yet another classic following on from Black Holes and Absolution. The Resistance is a bit different but still Prog Rock at it's best.
Slightly more Orchestral than the previous albums, especially with the last three tracks Exogenesis Overture/Cross-Pollination/Redemption but it sounds great on first listening and just improves with every outing.

Beating New Year Ennui
AnnaLisa is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
All the presents have been opened, the leftovers eaten (and why hasn't anyone written a song about the glory of holiday leftovers?), the holiday wine drunk and you're left feeling the grey overhang of the Schmiscal Cliff. The Dow has drooped under 13,000. There you are, in front of your trading platform hand on chin like Fran Kubelik (a very young Shirley MacLaine) in Billy Wilder's "The Apartment" at a club on New Year's Eve with her feckless married lover, insurance executive Mr. Sheldrake wishing her a Happy New Year. Glowing in the party lights comes her jaded reply, "Ring out the old, ring in the new, ring-a ding-ding," as the revelry swirls about her.
You have a serious case of New Year's ennui, the feeling that spring and love and profits are far, far away. No amount of seasonal spirits will ease that sinking feeling that all is drab, dull, dated, and dour. You have assembled a very respectable diversified portfolio of blue chips, techs, big caps, small caps, mid caps with yields and low P/Es. Nothing to reproach about your portfolio. All in all it's about as exciting as Mr. Sheldrake, beta-wise.
You need a shaker-upper, a momentum stock that will give you something to make the blood course like champagne bubbles. A spec that's slightly racy, maybe one of those that Herb Greenberg solemnly smirks about on CNBC. You need a tiny dose of a battleground stock, something a little bit volatile to give you a little joie de vivre.
A shot of Monster
Maybe a shot of Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST) is just what the doctor ordered. Monster has had some monstrous public relations problems lately with concerns over the amount of caffeine in their energy drinks sparking lawsuits and governmental attention, but those concerns seem to have ebbed and the trendy energy drink company continues apace. Overseas expansion is a kicker to profits as CEO Rodney Sacks mentioned in the Q3 earnings release in November that sales to Chile, Peru, Singapore, Taiwan, Korea, and Central and Eastern Europe will begin in 2013.
The stock soared to a high of $83.96 last summer on rumors of Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) acquiring the company. The rumors did make some sense as Monster has distribution agreements with Coca-Cola bottling companies and the energy drink market was scintillating. Coca-Cola doesn't have a strong energy drink on the market and they sorely need something to add to their "sparkling" market.
For those on the fence regarding overvaluation at a 28.67 P/E their sales growth rate is double that of their main competitor, privately held Red Bull.
Caveats are the high P/E, possible FDA and state regulation, and increasing competition as more companies like Starbucks jump on the energy drink bandwagon. But even with the annual EPS growth rate slowing by 4%, it is still a meaningful 19%, much higher than that of Coca-Cola or Pepsi-Cola.
Perk up already
Speaking of Starbucks, another battleground stock is competitor Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ: GMCR). This is a name that has had relentless negative sentiment over accounting issues since 2010, its relationship to Starbucks, and the loss of patent protection on its K-Cups leading to lower price generic K-Cups, even an as-seen-on-TV reusable "K-Cup." Negative comments from hedge fund investor David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital have damaged the share price in the past.
Despite those drawbacks, some catalysts include a new CEO, Coca-Cola veteran executive Brian Kelley, and an increase in the the sales of their Keurig machines by 49% over the prior period. Institutions are turning bullish on the name with a double digit increase in buys. While Monster may be slightly overvalued, Green Mountain may be slightly undervalued with a PEG of .84 and a P/E of 18.21 and a forward P/E of 13.53.
Since Einhorn once again badmouthed the company in October, its Q4 earnings report on November 27 buoyed the stock with a beat on earnings and revenues ($91.9 million and $946.7 million, respectively) with only 10% of sales coming from the K-Cups. The company also guided higher, expecting between 14-18% sales growth in the New Year. How does that compare with most of your blue chips?
The new CEO will also be flanked by a new Chairman of The Board, Norman Wesley, with top executive experience at Fortune Brands and a new independent director A.D. "David" Mackay, a former Kellogg's CEO. All these executive changes and earnings beats are generating renewed interest in the name.
A dash Of volatility
Maybe it seems counterintuitive to advocate a battleground stock for a portfolio but that little dash of volatility, like a hint of bitters in a champagne cocktail, is enough to get your juices flowing when your safe stocks barely move over the course of weeks, months. One tiny soupcon of spec will keep you checking on that portfolio and not forgetting your rock names. Also, it will give you something to talk about at parties. Chin-chin!

CSKA Moscow responds to pitch criticism by painting field green
Image: Sky Sports News
Prior to Manchester City's Champions League clash at CSKA Moscow, the Russian hosts came under fire for the terrible field conditions at Khimki Arena.
Because Khimki hosts both CSKA and city rivals Dynamo Moscow's matches, the pitch has gotten increasingly worse from persistent heavy rain and a packed schedule. It also hasn't helped that the Luzhniki Stadium, which regularly hosts Champions League games and could have eased the amount of fixtures at Khimki, is being rebuilt ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
As a result, CSKA were forced to play their last Champions League match in St. Petersburg, and City were asked to not train on the pitch on Tuesday night to help keep it somewhat playable.
Even so, at the mere sight of the pitch, City manager Manuel Pellegrini was incensed:
I just saw the pitch and I think it's unbelievable that the most important cup competition in the world is allowed to be played on this pitch.
We must pray on Wednesday that it's not raining. If it's raining, it will be impossible to play on this pitch.
It could be called off. I didn't believe it when I saw the pitch, both for the two teams and also for the people who will watch the game.
Don't worry, folks; CSKA's groundskeepers had the perfect solution to make the pitch more Champions League-worthy: paint the grass green!
There, perfect new pitch. Sort of:
In the end, it didn't matter for City, who won 2-1 despite a few late chances for the Moscow club. CSKA might want to work on their unconventional grounds-keeping practices to avoid a green-tainted mess like this in the future.

[Cherry Tomato Cinnamon Jam]
My mother has been making jars and jars of delicious jam every summer as far back as I can remember, using fruit bought at the Sunday morning market (strawberry, apricot), hand-picked by my family (raspberry, blackberry, blueberry), or given out by friends with overflowing orchards (rhubarb, plums, cherry plums). She labels them and stores them in the cellar, where they patiently age for a year before being generously spread on buttered toast for breakfast. The wait is certainly harder on us, but we know it's all for the best.
For some reason, jam-making had always seemed to me an involved enterprise, but last summer I decided to give it a try. I started clipping recipes from magazines, and bought myself the small recipe book written by Christine Ferber, generally referred to as "la fée des confitures" (the jam fairy), an Alsacian who makes them the old-fashioned way, with local seasonal fruit, cooked in small batches in copper pots.
I also started saving all the jars I came across, stacking them at the back of already bursting kitchen cabinets, and generally just driving Maxence crazy. I even bought a few beautiful ones at the French chain store Résonances. Can you picture the love child of Restoration Hardware and Williams Sonoma, conceived during a trip to Paris? That's Résonances in a nutshell. Believe me, it is tough to resist the calling of that one.
Over the summer, I made three different recipes in small batches, put the jars away, and vowed to wait until the chilly winter days to open them. Those days have come, although technically winter isn't till Monday. For reasons that will soon be fully disclosed, the first jar I opened was the Cherry Tomato Cinnamon Jam. The recipe I used – with a few minor modifications – comes from the magazine Elle, which by the way has a much much better editorial content in its French weekly edition than its American or British counterparts. Not to mention great recipes.
Cherry Tomato Cinnamon Jam
– 400 g ripe cherry tomatoes
– 200 g crystallized sugar
– a stick of cinnamon
Pour boiling water all over a glass jar and its lid. Leave it upside down to dry on a clean kitchen towel.
Rinse and dry the tomatoes. Cut them in halves and put them in a large pot with the sugar and cinnamon. Stir, and let macerate for an hour.
Put the pot on high heat, and bring to a boil, stirring often with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 10 minutes. Drain the tomatoes and put the syrup back in for 5 minutes, until thickened.
Put the tomatoes back in, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often. Take the pot off the heat, pour the mixture in the glass jar, plant the cinnamon stick in, and close the lid tightly. Store in a cool dark place for a few months.
This jam looks beautiful, bright red with golden specks, and the taste is very surprising, a sweet and tangy compote with a full tomato flavor and a hint of cinnamon. In my opinion, the latter could be more pronounced, and I will use more next time, probably adding ground cinnamon too.
And this should work very well in what I have in mind for the near future…
Important disclaimer! This jarring method (boiling the jars then closing them tightly and letting them cool upside down) is one that's been commonly practiced in France for generations and generations. However, using a sterilizing machine and rubber-lidded jars is the only way to be absolutely safe. For more information on home-canning, click here.

Thanks and lots of food I'm cooking at work!
5 comments:
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better!ReplyDelete
That food looks awesome! I don't have the issue of cooking for work, but I know that sometimes I need simple foods. At these times, I usually resort to pasta, veggies and beans. Something like thinly sliced zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and cannelini beans, that can all be added to the boiling pasta at the appropriate cooking (or rehydrating/reheating) time, then drained. Season with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of olive oil, and dinner is served.
I too struggle at times as to what to serve when you want something healthy and quick! My 6 year old son is always starving when we get home so the pressure is on if i didn't have time to prepare anything night before. Quick meal: sweet potatoes mashed up and served with a mixture of frozen corns and peas and a can of Heinz tomato beans (i know, cheating with a can) Stir all together and i called it a "Dogs Dinner". My son asked if I would make again and again and again... :)ReplyDelete
Glad you are feeling better! I know once i tossed my scale both my body image and quality of life improved dramatically....ReplyDelete
In my last job i worked insane 12hour days and altho i dont cook for my job i switched it up and often made a breakfast for dinner! Tofu scramble with toast and veggies, savory oatmeal, or i would bake vegan quiche muffins ahead and have two with a salad, also lots of smoothies. Nothing took me more than 10-15min :)
I love this recipe ! Reminds me of you making soap at home, Mom.ReplyDelete
And it's fun to see photos of your house there and see
Dad in that comfy chair we sat in when we visited,
attempting to use the slow internet :)
I can't wait to hear how the soap turned out in terms
of using it. Does it smell different since it is made with
animal fat? Any other differences from vegetable-based soap?
Love you!

MARSHFIELD (WSAU) You might think "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" is nothing more than the lyrics to a catchy Christmas song, but starting Friday night, that's exactly what you can do when a dazzling Winter Wonderland display of holiday lights opens in Marshfield's Wildwood Park.
Event chair Scott Larsen says, "There's a lot that's new, and some old traditional favorites," along with special events taking place almost nightly. Last year, the event collected more than 45,000 food items to benefit 22 food pantries throughout Central Wisconsin.
You can walk, or drive, through that Winter Wonderland from 5 to 9:00, every night, now through New Year's Eve.

Increases in federal spending and decreases in taxes can boost overall demand for goods and services. In the short term, that increase in demand encourages businesses to gear up production and hire more workers than they otherwise would. Similarly, cuts in federal spending and increases in taxes can reduce demand, which has the opposite short-term effects.
In the long term, the key determinant of output is the economy's potential to produce goods and services—which depends on the size and quality of the labor force, on the stock of productive capital, and on the efficiency with which labor and capital are used to produce goods and services. CBO analyzes the economic effects of proposed changes in federal fiscal policies in both the short term and the long term relative to economic projections under current law.

Before Microsoft, grunge, double-tall lattes, Amazon.com, soaring downtown condominium towers, fusion cuisine and a second floating bridge, Seattle was a dreary little blip on America's radar, best known for airplanes, clinical depression, acres of clams and rain -- lots and lots of rain. But really, if you want to trace Seattle's cultural arc, just follow the progression from Rainier beer to microbrews to fine wine to today's downtown mash-up where they all coexist. And the publication that's done the smartest, street-to-suite chronicling of this spectacular metamorphosis: Seattle Weekly.
Founded in 1976 by an arts-starved East Coast transplant named David Brewster, the award-winning Seattle Weekly has taken on as many faces as the city it covers through the course of time. But one thing has remained constant: stellar, engaging journalism that exposes municipal malfeasance just as often as it celebrates the wizards behind our civic curtain. Pair that with top-shelf music and arts coverage -- as well as Seattle's only medical marijuana column, "Toke Signals" -- and it's no wonder Rainier drinkers and oenophiles alike have made picking up Seattle Weekly a priority every week for over 30 years.

The Lost Children of MichiganTuesday, July 13th, 2010
By Alan Upchurch
Recently, I watched with pride as my youngest child walked across the stage and received his high school diploma. It was a special moment for me, my wife Patty, and our son Trevor. Trevor was diagnosed with autism when he was about 4 years old. There have been many obstacles along the way, but Trevor has defeated most of them and grown into a bright, engaging, happy young man.
On graduation day, I also thought a lot about his future. Trevor always tells his Mom and I that he loves the state of Michigan and can't imagine leaving. But as Michigan struggles to rebound from years of economic calamity, I wonder if his best opportunities will come elsewhere. My eldest daughter has already left the state. She's in California. Many of her friends are gone, too. They're working in Chicago, Atlanta and other cities around the country. In the last 10 years Michigan has lost nearly 800,000 private sector jobs. What frightens and angers me is the lack of outrage, and the lack of urgency from government and business leaders throughout the state. They talk a good game. But where is the action. The candidates for governor are as unimpressive as I have seen in the past 30 years. Have you heard any of your friends or neighbors talking about the great ideas and leadership skills of these candidates? People are apathetic and one of the big reasons for their indifference is the uninspiring candidates.
We need a Marshall Plan, which helped rebuild war-torn Europe, because Michigan is losing one battle after another in this economic war. And now we are losing our children to other states that are better prepared and, apparently, more willing to fight for their economic future. Cool cities? How about a cool jobs creation plan that will give young people like my son a reasonable chance at economic success in a state he loves so much.

Create alert for Al-Madinah HospitalAl-Madinah Hospital
Egyptian heart surgeons boast a success rate of 97 to 100 percent.
Dr. Isma'il Salam, the Health Minister, explained that this rate was based on last year's data from the special heart operation centers that fall under the ministry's jurisdiction. The Minister conveyed to Al-Ahram Daily that in 1999, the heart centre in Al-Madinah Hospital received in 983,000 heart patients, and treated them with a success rate of 98%.
During a ceremony held for heart patients who underwent successful operations at the East Al-Madinah hospital, Dr. Salam announced that the special centres provided free-of-charge care for 82% of patients.

Happy New Year for 2012! Here's to a wonderful new year for all of us! Last year certainly had some big moments for me including dropping 60 pounds since June (thanks Medifast Centers!) and quitting smoking in March.
For 2012, my goals are to:
1) Reach my goal weight 2) Find a sport (or something active) I enjoy and do it regularly 3) Get back to my art table and paint, paint, paint 4) Travel somewhere - any where! I haven't taken a flight since Aug. 2009!
Here's wishing all of us much success in completing our resolutions and being happier in 2012!

Just a Guy Who Likes Separate Vacations
I admit it: I like going away without my wife sometimes. And I suspect she feels the same. She occasionally wants to visit her parents (who live out of town) without having to worry about me.

Just a Guy Who Likes Making More $$ Than His Wife
Now more than ever, women are earning higher incomes than their male counterparts. While I totally believe in equal pay for equal work, I do question the impact on relationships when the woman makes more than the man.

When I have written love/sex stories for momlogic in the past, I have always been struck by how many of our commenters have lost their sexual desire. That's the inspiration behind our new weekly column: "Hate Sex Less!"
An Account of One's Own
If, in 1929, Virginia Woolf insisted that every woman needs a room of her own, then I would like to assert that, in 2010, a bank account of one's own also goes a long way toward peace of mind in a mother's life. (Or even a mattress in the room that you can stuff ....)
