In 1869 Ulysses S Grant was president, sliced bread was not yet invented, and the Cincinnati Red Stockings played their first professional baseball game. That team would become a charter member of the National League in 1876 and the Cincinnati Reds that we know today.
Great American Ball Park has been the home of the Cincinnati Reds since 2003. It is often forgotten when discussing some of the best in baseball, but given the history of this organization and the beauty of the venue, this easily deserves to be called one of the best ballparks in baseball.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
The first term you need to learn when going to a game in Cincinnati is a "Mett." No, it's not the team in New York, but a hot dog with cheese inside. A variety I hadn't seen before my visit is the "Beef n' Swiss," a mett that consists of an all-beef hot dog, and Swiss cheese ($5.25). Add some sauerkraut and you get an encased meat experience similar to a Rueben. You can find any of your other favorite sausages for the same price.
Another thing that comes to mind when thinking of Cincinnati's culinary landscape is Skyline Chili. You would be remiss if you missed out on this Queen City treat. A chili cheese coney will cost you only $4.75.
For the best food in the park, I would recommend a trip towards the right field foul pole where you can find Mr. Red's Smokehouse. On offer at this stand are beef ribs ($11), kobe beef sliders ($10), smoked turkey legs ($10), and pulled pork sandwiches ($8). I tried the pulled pork and thought it was perfectly smoky and tasty. You can also pick up corn on the cob ($5) and a Leinenkugel's beer ($8.50), including one of my summer favorites, the Sunset Wheat.
All your other ballpark favorites are here, and at reasonable prices. One interesting twist that I have not seen before is a Farmers Market on both levels where you can purchase fruit, as well as other necessities you may have forgotten like aspirin or sun screen.
There's a lot to like about this ballpark, and it starts with your entrance on Crosley Terrace. The name is an homage to the old Crosley Field, home of the Reds for nearly six decades. In the plaza, you'll find statues of Joe Nuxhall, Frank Robinson, and Ernie Lombardi in a battery and batter set up, in what is probably the most photographed part of the park. Off to the side you'll see a statue of Ted Kluszewski, who seems to be standing on deck.
Once inside, you will want to make a trip to the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. They claim to be the largest team hall of fame in baseball. I found the $10 price tag to take the tour to be a bit unnecessary (at the very least there should be a discount on game days), but the treasure trove inside makes it worth your time, if not your money.
The concourse is very walkable and you should take the time to make it around the entire park with views of Paul Brown Stadium, the Ohio River, the John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, and the Cincinnati skyline.
When you reach your seat, you'll find a red plastic chair with above average leg room, and a cup holder at every spot. The only exception is the bleacher seats in left field. The price is right, but the comfort definitely is somewhat lacking, so my advice would be to choose another seat in any other section besides the left field upper deck if you can.
Another reason to avoid the left field bleachers is the scoreboard. There is only one primary scoreboard in the park and it sits in left field. Over 217 feet wide, it provides all of the information a fan needs, but if you sit in left field, then you're out of luck. Your best bet would be to sit down the first base line so you can have a great view of the field and the scoreboard information.
Great American Ball Park is nestled between Paul Brown Stadium and US Bank Arena, home of the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL, along the riverfront of the Ohio River. Four blocks west of Great American Ball Park, and across the street from Paul Brown Stadium, you'll find Head First Sports Cafe. It's a favorite of Reds and Bengals fans before and after games. You'll find an array of sandwiches, salads, wraps, and of course chili.
Head east from the park, and you'll find another Cincinnati favorite, the Montgomery Inn. I think this is the first place I've visited where they offer ribs as an appetizer. That's enough to sell me. You'll find plenty of meat on the menu, so bring your appetite. Whether you go with BBQ or a perfectly cooked steak, you will be sure to leave the place happy.
This is a baseball town, there is no doubt about it. Moving through the various sections you will find more fans than usual keeping score, and supporters who will more likely cheer the players by their first names than their last. This may seem like a small thing, but it is one indication of devotion to one's team, and is not the norm.
My visit occurred on a weekday afternoon game where the temperatures were in the mid-90's, and I was amazed by the number of fans who persevered by sitting in the sun and watching the action, while I tended to cower in any shade I could find on the concourse.
Great American Ball Park is easily accessible from either of the major interstates, I-75 or I-71. I was able to find parking for $15 at the corner of 2nd & Pete Rose Way, below the overpass. The best part about this parking, besides the proximity to the park, was that the shade kept my car cool on an otherwise excruciatingly hot day.
The stadium is very easy to get around, although if you head up to the upper deck to get a look around, the only way down is via the ramp as the escalator doesn't reverse until later in the game.
Bathrooms were darker than I would have liked and rather warm. I was surprised that the toilets didn't flush automatically in this modern stadium, and there were fewer than expected.
There are plenty of good seats at reasonable prices. My recommendation would be to shoot for section 425, as close to the front row as possible. In many stadiums, my favorite seat is directly behind home plate in the upper deck. At Great American Ballpark, I would suggest moving slightly up the first base line. The seat is outstanding and will cost you only $25. Honestly though, any seat in the park is a good value, but I would skip the bleachers in left.
The food is varied, and a good value as well. There are some tough choices when deciding on the can't-miss food items. Spend $11 on either an item at Mr. Red's Smokehouse or go for a mett or skyline chili coney. Add in a beer and the cost of parking, and you should be able to keep your total tab under $60.
I was really impressed with the efforts of the staff to keep fans cool on a very hot day. There were misting machines at many places throughout the park. The Reds also have a "Cool Room" near section 413 for fans to find reprieve. Finally, each concession stand offered cups of ice for any fan who wanted one, and at least a couple of announcements were made reminding fans of this as well as the importance of staying hydrated.
It's also hard not to be impressed with some of the Hall of Famers who have had their numbers retired by this historic organization. Fred Hutchinson (#1), Johnny Bench (#5), Joe Morgan (#8), Sparky Anderson (#10), Dave Concepcion (#13), Ted Kluszewski (#18), Frank Robinson (#20), Tony Perez (#24), and of course Jackie Robinson (#42).
Some ballparks are really strict about the movement of fans around the stadium, and I appreciated that that was not the case at Great American Ball Park. That openness really leads to a more relaxed atmosphere.
Great American Ball Park is a moniker bestowed by a corporate sponsor, but the name is apt indeed. It is a celebration of the great American pastime in a wonderful baseball town. Within 5-6 hours circumference you will find other outstanding towns like Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Nashville, and St. Louis. Cincinnati should be a baseball destination for anyone within that circle.
Parking near GABP
If you can walk a few blocks then the streets are where you want to park. There is no reason to cough up $10 or so to park in a garage.
For a night game on Mon-Sat there is free street parking after 6 pm in Cincy. If you time your arrival to just before 6 pm, you have your choice of close-in spots, some on 3rd street are a block from the stadium. But you can still arrive at 6:45 for a 7 pm game and find street parking. There is free Sunday street parking in Cincy and in N. KY.
Both Covington and Newport, KY have free street parking on Saturdays and weekdays after 6 pm and it is just a short walk over a bridge.
Most people that park in garages do not know they can park on the street, but if you just read this, you aren't one of them. Well, some people are lazy or loaded with moolah, so they do not mind paying to park.

Free game
Hold it, come to think of it, last time I went to GABP, it cost me almost nothing. I stopped at Subway and got a sub and Diet Coke for about $6. I stopped at Kroger and got some peanuts for $2.00. Since you can take food in the ballpark, that was my food that I enjoyed during the game.
I got there about an hour before game time and parked on the 3rd street for free.
I then went to the area right as you enter Crosley Terrace, right near the edge of the building as you walk toward the main entrance. You cannot sell tickets there but you can receive them.
I stood there with my finger in the air saying, "I need one." What I was looking for is three people with four tickets. A few people tried to sell me a ticket. I told them you have to sell them across the street. One person went over there to try and sell it. The second person just handed me a ticket and with about 10 minutes of effort I got a free ticket. Ii went up and sat in the left field bleachers, about the 5th inning I went down to the party deck in right field and smoked my cigar and it was an enjoyable experience. I went to 50-60 games a year between 1999-2003 at Cinergy Field and GABP. I went to about 15 games a year at GABP up to 2006. I never paid for a single game or for parking for any Reds game since 1999.
They no longer allow smoking in the ballpark and I no longer go to Reds games in person.
Now, do not try to get a good deal from ticket brokers that are on the corners of downtown Cincy trying to sell tickets. You will not out-negotiate them.
You can take sealed bottles of water and soda into the ball park. You can take bags of food and pizza in. You can take small soft-sided coolers in too.
Good luck and enjoy a bargain night at GABP.

I'm really looking forward to visiting this ballpark this summer.

I think I was at the game when you did your review
There are some other neat things about the park that fans might be interested in:
-- On excruciatingly hot game days, the park is very accommodating, offering free cups of ice from the concession stands, free sunscreen from first aid stations, and misting stations all over the ballpark. The station on the 3rd-base side is well placed, as there is a large TV nearby to allow you to keep an eye on the game.
-- GABP does allow for fans to carry in soft-sided coolers with pretty much any food and drink you can imagine (except alcohol, of course), so more value for your money.
-- While the $15 parking is VERY close and convenient, those willing to take a bit of a walk can park in Kentucky at Newport on the Levee for as little as $2 (weekday games) or as much as $5 (weekend night games) and take a walk across the Taylor Southgate bridge (or catch a shuttle across the bridge for $1.50 each way). This is a particularly spectacular walk on fireworks nights, as you can glance back across the Ohio River on the way home to get a peek at the show.
-- Finally, there are a pair of ONE DOLLAR concession stands, offering 12 oz. sodas, "kids" hot dogs (about the size you'd find in a standard grocery store pack) and "kids" popcorn, each for a dollar. Even the heartiest fan can get a decent ballpark meal for less than $5 there, though the lines can be long at well-attended games. Both are on the first-base side, one on the lower level near the fan zone, the other on the view level.
I encourage EVERYONE to catch a game at GABP. It's one of the smaller parks in Major League Baseball, making the experience feel more intimate even in a sellout, and I don't know of a better value ballpark in the bigs.

RE: I think I was at the game when you did review
Thanks Cheese-
Great tips, especially on the parking situation. Seems like it would be similar to the walk across the bridge in Pittsburgh. I'll definitely keep this in mind the next time I'm at GABP.
by paul | Jun 18, 2011 09:01 PM
My take
Yep, you can take in a large pizza in or a bag full of Big Macs.
You can also find free parking on the streets in downtown Cincy after 6 pm and all day Sunday. So there is no need to pay for parking. If you time it right and arrive right at 6 pm, you can park on 3rd Street and have a very short walk to the GABP.
As for better parks....probably Wrigley, but for the money, GABP is right there.
by CigarBoy | Jun 23, 2011 12:16 AM
A mett
A mett could best be defined as a spicy hot dog. It may or may no have cheese in it.
by CigarBoy | Jun 23, 2011 12:26 AM
RE: A mett
Thanks for the clarification. All I know is that I have liked them since being introduced, and the "beef n swiss" this time was rather good, even on a hot day...

I've had one oddly expensive issue with GABP
I made it to GABP a few weeks ago, having not been to Cincy since I saw a game at Riverfront. It's funny, but the one thing I remember most is how expensive the hats are. A new Era szed hat at Riverfront was $28 when everyone else was 20-25 in 1992. Now, when mlb.com is selling their hats for $34.99, GABP is still $40.
Also, not sure about the fuss regarding skyline chili. I think I'd have been more impressed if they'd gone without the guise of the dog... it's barely there under the pile of chili and toppings.
by dberger | Aug 29, 2011 04:12 PM
I think local Reds fans know to go to Koch Sporting Goods on 4th Street about three blocks from the stadium for Reds, Bearcats, Musketeer and Bungles gear.
by CigarBoy | Aug 30, 2011 01:21 AM
Had trouble getting "free ice"
I, too, was at the game reviewed, and despite the announcements over the PA system for free ice at ANY concession stand, I was told by two different stands that they were not offering the free ice. I pointed this out to a Reds employee, told them which stands had told me "no", and was given two free cups of ice by staffers at the first aid station on the third base-line. The Reds employee then got on his two-way radio and let someone know what was going on. I imagine the next time there is a day game in scorching-hot weather, the c-stands will be told to honor the announcements and give people free cups of ice. Worth noting that all GABP c-stands are run by non-profit groups as fundraisers for their different organizations, and all have their non-profit names posted behind the counter. If you get bad service, report them by name to Reds personnel. I did, and got the free ice I was looking for, an apology, and a "thanks for letting us know".
by CBJRedsOSUfan | Oct 12, 2011 12:15 PM
Free Ice
Thanks for sharing that experience. I agree- I was overall pleased with the staff responsiveness. Maybe the vendors just didn't hear the announcement. Every stadium makes mistakes, but correcting those mistakes quickly is a sign of a well run crew/organization.
by paul | Oct 12, 2011 12:29 PM
Fun in the Sun
While you're almost certain to sit and bake at a day game at GABP you can find relief on the concourse where they offer misting stations that you can take advantage of while drinking a cold one! Just one of the many great amenities that one of the original ball clubs offers.

Great Park and Great Crowd
People here love their baseball and it shows. The crowd loves their team and is very knowledgable about both their own players and opposing ones. It's like they do their research before coming to the park. The Skline chilli dog is a must, I think their is actually real cheese on this thing. The views from t he park are also fantastic, with the Ohio river in the background and the old steam whistles that go off every time a home run is hit.
The other plus here is that you don't have to break the bank to enjoy a game here. Finally a ballpark that offers reasonable prices for beer and food. This is how ballparks should be. This is a must on any ballpark road trip.

Great American Ball Park (GABP) officially opened its doors at the beginning of the 2003 season. Located on the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, it serves as the home of baseball's first professional team, the Cincinnati Reds. Despite the team still looking for its first winning season since moving in, Great American Ball Park remains a wonderful place to watch a baseball game.
I was there for the Kyle Farnsworth/Paul Wilson fight some years ago. Great take down by Farnsworth. Overall, I thought the venue was ok, but nothing special. I hope to get back this year.
Cincinnati really nailed this one on the head.
I enjoyed every minute of my visit to Great American Ballpark and the renovations made in the summer of 2007 gave the ballpark even more life. Parking was my only complaint but even then its wasn't that bad. Fans are very passionate and friendly.
I will check it out again.
We got to this great park in plenty of time to take a stroll along the river, and parked in a lot not two blocks away from the field for $10...great deal as far as MLB parks go. From there, we ate at the Machine Room Grille, a bar that is located in the left field corner of the park and opens three hours before the game. They had some outstanding pulled pork there, and we had it on top of hot dogs and potato skins. Wash the food down with a cup of Cincinnati's own Christian Moerlein been, of which they had two of their best on tap. In the field, the park staff are very accomodating, and during BP we got right up close to the field and got autographs. It was an incredibly hot day, and there is little cover in the seats, but the vendors were handing out cups of ice like it was going out of style, and the vendors that came into the seats were throwing ice and squirting people with Supersoakers. The fans could not have been cooler, even with me proudly wearing my Cubs jersey. The view of the river hearkens to Pittsburgh and the Roberto Clemente bridge. There is tons of stuff for kids to do, like batting cages, fast-pitch throwing, and a mascot race much like Milwaukee's racing sausages. Also in the ballpark grounds is the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame, though by the time we found it, we didn't have enough time to make the lofty $10 entrance fee worthwhile. However, it is the second largest baseball hall of fame next to Cooperstown, and we heard many satisfied customers leave the exhibits. All in all, it was a great experience!!!
Great American Ballpark is home for me...and is easily my favorite ballpark. I take pride in knowing more about the ballpark than some of the employees and being considered a source of knowledge by the ushers and security in the area where I have my season seats. It is a wonderful park and a great place if you want to watch baseball or have a fun day out!
This is a pretty good baseball ballpark. The food cost an arm and a leg, but they do have specials on food if you look for them.
It is close to all the fun in N. KY.
I give a star for a good location, another for great views of the river and downtown and another for the hall of fame located adjacent to the ballpark. And the final star for allowing fans to bring food into the park. They lose a star for banning smoking a few years ago.
I currently live in the Cincinnati area and go to a lot of games here. The atmosphere has improved as the club has gotten better but for the most part find the fans to be average. The ballpark seems to cater towards the family experience which is not really what I am looking for coming from growing up at Wrigley. Not much atmosphere around the ballpark although they are working to develop it. This is definitely a ballpark and team that is trying to get better.
One of the best ballparks in the mlb. Has great views from any seat in the stadium. The atmosphere is great. The food is good (Larosa's so good). Parking is easy. Plenty of things for the kids to do. Just great park and a fun team.
Beautiful park. Not a whole lot around the park in Cincinnati but walking around the grounds of the park amazing. Shop was nice and big with a great selection. Fans where great, I defiantly would go back.
I went in 2009 and for the most part when it came to the new ballparks in baseball, I kept hearing this is one of the "worst."
I can't figure out why. It is a very nice place to watch a ball game and anywhere (probably save for LF) would be a great view. The place was neat, clean, and just smelled of baseball. I grew up going to games at Tiger Stadium and you had that smell in the park where you knew you were in a baseball stadium. You don't really have it at the new parks.
Seats were comfortable and having red seats instead of blue or green for a change was neat.
The biggest memory of the park was actually going to the Reds HOF and Museum. With the storied history that the Reds have it is a must do if you haven't been there.
My ONLY complaint about the park was the fans. And I am not thinking the Reds fans are bad but it seemed like they kept it to themselves and were lukewarm whenever the Reds had a rally in the game. Worse, a lot of the fans (was setting by the moon deck in RF) were heckling the visiting team's relievers. It is fine, but when you start crossing over to racial barriers and going into about their families, then that is where it gets inappropriate.
But overall, one of the best stadiums I've been to.
I grew up in Cincinnati, as a child I went to games at Crosley and later Riverfront. I always had a good time at every game. It didn't hurt that I was watching some of the greatest players of their time, but both of these ballparks were lacking in areas. This has all been erased with GABP. I love watching a game here.
My first visit to GABP was during the first season, and I have to say that it was almost like the stadium wasn't finished. The exterior view plain and didn't help that there was still a pit from where Riverfront was. But since this time the HOF has expanded it's collection (I think it's the best team HOF that I have visited), and the area around the ballpark has been developed with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. The interior, which was plain in the early years, has really improved. The addition of riverboat above the batter's eye is a very fun place to watch the game. In addition the food has gotten so much better - can't beat Graeter's Ice Cream!
I may be biased, but THE Great American Ballpark is the best neighborhood to just walk around for hours before the game. Don't miss the Reds Hall of Fame
Great stadium with fantastic views of the river. The skline chilli dogs is like medicine for the soul and the crowd loves it baseball. One of the best baseball atmosphere's that I have ever seen.
This ballpark had great food and beer selections as well as a nice neighborhood/area. The big drawback to the park was the inability to actually see the river from most seats. The team's museum and team store were top-notch. There isn't much else that's really remarkable about the stadium.
Food & Beverage:
The food (and beer) selection at Great American Ball Park (GABP) is outstanding. There is the standard fare of course, but there are also tons of local favorites to be had. I highly recommend Mr. Reds Smokehouse down near the right field foul pole. Can�t go wrong with Skyline cheese coneys either.
Cincinnati is a baseball town plain and simple. The fans are passionate and knowledgeable. GABP provides a great family atmosphere, especially during the Sunday home games.
It has taken some time (almost 10 years) but the area between GABP and Paul Brown Stadium (home of the Bengals) is finally coming around. Known as �The Banks�, the area along the riverfront is packed before and after most Reds games. There are several restaurants/bars/breweries to choose from. I�d suggest either the Moerlein Lager House or The Holy Grail, both of which are directly across the street from the stadium.
As I said, the fans are passionate and knowledgeable about their Reds. With the team making the Postseason 3 times in the past 4 seasons, attendance is on the rise and during the summer the park is packed for most games. You won�t find the same sort of rowdiness you see in the bleachers at Wrigley or Yankee Stadium, but the fans love their Redlegs.
With the stadium situated in the middle of downtown, traffic can get a little messy at times, but that should be expected. There are several highways within a few blocks of the stadium, so any traffic there may be usually thins out fairly quickly. Parking is easy to find and generally pretty cheap. For night games you are able to park at a metered spot in downtown after 6PM for free. Parking in Kentucky and walking across the river on one of the several bridges is also a good bet.
Return on Invest:
Tickets are among the cheapest in MLB, and with the ability to bring in your own food, you get a great value. Food and drink inside the stadium is on par with most other stadiums I have visited, but there are a few ways to save some money. There is a concession stand in the upper deck that has hotdogs, small bags of peanuts, and small sodas for $1 each. Most concession stands also offer one free refill on any soda which is great for hot summer days.
No review of GABP would be complete without mentioning the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. It is said to be the best baseball museum outside of Cooperstown, and I believe it. Well worth the price of admission.
Went to a game recently at GABP and sent most of my time before and after the game in Kentucky at Covington on the Levy. It's a cheap place to park, with plenty of good places to eat, and a resonable walk to the game. GABP is one of the underrated venues in baseball, and one that I thoroughly enjoy every time I visit.
I really enjoyed visiting the Great American Ball Park for the first time. Views from the upper deck out over the water were nice. The neighborhood nearby had some great offerings. We parked on the KY side of the river at the shopping center called Newport on the Levee and then had a short walk over the bridge to the stadium. Newport on the Levee has many restaurants, movie theatre, shopping and an Aquarium that can be enjoyed before or after the game.
Food & Beverage - GABP has a great mix of traditional ballpark fare and local favorites. Beyond the traditional hot dogs, nachos, etc., GABP also features booths for United Dairy Farmers ice cream, Skyline Chili, and LaRosa's Pizza. This season, the Reds have added the Brewery District, a bar with 60 tap craft brew bar. Prices are also around the MLB average.
Atmosphere - When the moment calls for it, GABP can get fairly raucous. After every Reds home run, the only thing that drowns out the fans are the fireworks from beyond right field. After every strikeout, flames shoot up from the smokestacks in right field, honoring the Ohio River's steamboat heritage. The Reds do a great job of playing up their team's history. The Reds Hall of Fame & Museum is located across Crosley Terrace from the entrance to GABP, with statues of many Reds greats outside the entrance. Inside GABP, the history is played up as well.
Neighborhood - GABP is located in the quickly developing area known as "The Banks". It is a short walk to several close restaurants and only a short walk to Fountain Square, where there are more restaurants as well.
Fans - Cincinnati is a baseball town. It is clear when you walk towards the ballpark with red as far as the eye can see, especially on the weekend. Reds fans love their team, and anyone who has had an issue with a Reds player gets the expected response. When the situation calls for it, Reds fans can get fairly raucous.
Access - GABP is easy to get to off of I-71/75 with quite a few parking garages in immediate vicinity of the ballpark. Parking is also available across the river in Newport and Covington, with shuttle service for $1 per ride that pull up within 2 blocks of the ballpark.
Return on Investment - Finding tickets for cheap are relatively easy. For example, the Reds offer Sunday tickets where purchasing one full price ticket, you can get up to 3 tickets non-premium tickets for half price.
Extras - The Reds Hall of Fame next door gives a great history of professional baseball in Cincinnati for $10. If you go through, allow yourself an hour and a half to fully explore everything it has to offer.
Food: Great sausage sandwiches(Bratts and Mets). Skyline Chili. A restaurant/bar in outfield called the Machine Room.
Atmosphere: great. I am a Reds fan, so very partial.
Nice downtown location on the river. Right next to entertainment area known as the Banks: Moerlein Lager House, Toby Keiths, Yard House, Holy Grail, and several others. Across the river in Kentucky is Newport on the Levee. Many food and drink options close.
Fans: mellow
Access: easy walk from downtown, and from Kentucky side. Parking $20 on site, and gets cheaper in town. Can take bus from Ky called the South Bank shuttle for $1. Can take river boat from Hooters in Ky for $5, round trip.
R: you can sit up stairs in corners for under $10. If you have a PNC Bank Reds debit card, certain seat sections are half price, Sunday thru Thursday.
E; mini baseball field for kids on the concourse.

Digging deeper into Cramer's Nov. 29 Lightning Round.
Dr. Osman is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Do-it-yourself investors can make some "mad money" just by watching Jim Cramer's Mad Money show. Cramer has one goal: to help stock traders understand the rules of the Wall Street game. He presents market insights and offers investment ideas in a unique style. During the Lightning Round, he comments on viewers' picks. He only needs a few seconds before deciding on a bearish or bullish call. Nevertheless, I think we should take some time digging deeper into his rates. After all, as he advises, we should never invest without doing our homework. Here, I review three stocks discussed on the Nov. 29 Lightning Round.
First on the list is Nokia (NYSE: NOK). Cramer rejected it because he cannot find any fundamental reason to own this stock right now.
The once invincible technology giant is missing out on the smart phone revolution and has lost its leading position within the market. Over the past five years, sales have been going down along with the company's earnings. In an effort to regain some of its past glory, Nokia established a strategic partnership with Microsoft in 2011. The Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 were the first handsets to result from this partnership. For the first half of 2012, Nokia managed to beat analysts' average estimations and sell about 200,000 Lumia phones. Is this enough? Most importantly, what now?
The smart phone business is a tough one. It resembles a battlefield, where rivals keep bringing deadly new weapons to the table. Will Nokia's newest Lumia handsets be "deadly" enough to help it knock out its peers? Good news surrounding sales figures of the Lumia pushed the stock upwards by 17% over the last month. According to a Yahoo! China report, Nokia has already received more than 2.5 million orders for the Lumia 920 alone. This is more than the entire Lumia lineup sold in the third quarter of 2012. Some analysts estimate that Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system will carry the second position among competing OS by 2015.
Nokia may benefit from its strategic alliance with Microsoft. However, as other leading manufacturers seek for a piece of the Microsoft pie, Nokia has to be extra creative. The HTC 8X and HTC 8S are already available, and recently Samsung announced that it will soon release a new Windows 8-based handset. To achieve a turnaround and obtain a strong position within the industry, Nokia still has a long way to go.
Next is Heckmann (NYSE: NES). Cramer made a bullish call on this one, suggesting that it can offer significant returns in the long-term. I believe he is right.
Heckmann Corporation is a provider of environmental services. It operates through two business segments, namely, Heckmann Water Resources (HWR), and Heckmann Environmental Service (HES). The first segment is responsible for the treatment and disposal of water generated by firms involved in the production of natural gas and oil. Through the second segment, the company offers collection and recycling services for oily waste products. For the third quarter of 2012, Heckmann missed average analyst estimations on EPS by 4 cents. Nevertheless, the company had a robust financial performance by achieving a 95% increase on revenues compared to last year.
Over the last couple of years, Heckmann has followed and aggressive growth strategy. It has been successful in enhancing its growth potentials with acquisitions and mergers. Recently, the firm announced the closing of its merger with Badlands Power Fuels, LLC. Badlands Power Fuels is a North Dakota based environmental company with a strong foothold in rich oil shale areas. This merger is very likely to provide Heckmann with a unique opportunity to differentiate itself from its peers and emerge as an industry leader. It will give the company access to the very attractive Bakken market, as well as every significant unconventional basin.
When a viewer mentioned Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), Cramer did not hide his enthusiasm. He gave it a clear "buy" rating. Having doubled in size after the purchase of Wachovia, Wells Fargo is one of the biggest banks in the U.S. Cramer suggested it could even be a stronger player in the space than Bank of America (NYSE: BAC).
Banking businesses were in many cases crushed by the recent global financial turmoil, but Wells Fargo managed to recover to its pre-crisis price levels. At the moment, the stock is trading just 3.5% below its 2008 peak of $34.29. Based on analysts' mean target price it has at least 19% upside potential. On the other hand, Bank of America's stock chart is the definition of a falling knife. The stock reached the peak of $45 in the beginning of 2008. Since then, it has followed a downward trail by losing almost 80% of its value.
During the first nine months of 2012, Wells Fargo generated approximately $13.8 billion in net income. This is almost four times the net income generated by Bank of America. ROA and ROE figures were up by 4 basis points, and 52 basis points, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2012. Moreover, Wells Fargo dominates the mortgage market. For the third quarter of 2012, alone, it originated an impressive $139 billion worth of home loans. Wells Fargo offers some of the most compelling interest rates within the mortgage market and lower than those of Bank of America.
Overall, Wells Fargo is well positioned to benefit from its lending operations. Over the past few years, the bank has been expanding its operations in the space while others have been scaling theirs' back. In particular, Bank of America closed one of its mortgage divisions at the end of last year. Out of 38 analysts tracked by Wall Street Journal, 20 suggest that Well Fargo is a "buy," while 5 indicate an "outperform" rating.

The Emotional Toll of Social Networking
Remember the days when "you've got mail" was a novelty? Since then, online communication has proliferated thanks to social networking sites, such as Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube.
Some mental health experts believe social networking can increase stress and anxiety, and they've have even coined names to describe this phenomenon, such as Social Media Anxiety, Social Networking Anxiety, and Facebook Depression.
Psychologist Amy Wood describes Facebook depression as the sense of inadequacy we feel when we assess ourselves according to enticing images presented by others online, and come up short. She says we have idealistic assumptions that what's online is what's happening in real life.
Recently, the journal Pediatrics reported that using social media is among the most common activities of today's youth. In fact, 22 percent of teens log onto their favorite social media site 10 or more times each day. The study authors believe Facebook depression develops when teens spend a lot of intense time on social media sites. They may feel pressured to respond quickly to contacts, and they check frequently to see if others commented on their posts. Youth are also at risk for cyberbullying, which leads to depression, anxiety, isolation, and even suicide.
Ironically, a study of students found that Facebook anxiety is highest in those with the most number of friends. This is probably because they've invested the most in their site and feel pressured to post interesting content. Ten percent of students reported feeling anxious, and thirty percent said they felt guilty rejecting friend requests. Students are also anxious about not being present on social networking sites for fear they'll miss something or risk offending their friends. The study author compared Facebook to gambling, and said Facebook keeps users in a "neurotic limbo."
Many have challenged the Pediatrics report and the very idea of Facebook depression, citing insufficient research and lack of evidence of cause and effect. Critics believe Facebook depression is only a problem for a very small subset of the population and that overall, the benefits of social media outweigh the negatives. For example, Cornell University reports Facebook is positively associated with college students' self esteem because it allows them to put their best foot forward.
If you're concerned about your time on social networking sites, psychologist Wood suggests stepping away from the computer regularly and getting the full story about an issue before you jump to conclusions. Make sure you connect regularly in real life, not just online, and parents should stay involved in their children's lives and make sure they're also engaged in other activities.

At Latham & Watkins, we place a premium on teamwork and collaboration while remaining devoted to world-class training and professional development.
Learn more about the values that underpin this global elite firm - transparency, stability and global integration.
Latham represents investment banks, financial institutions, private equity houses, corporates, governments and other organizations, and the firm handles some of the largest and most complex cross-border deals and cases in the London market.
The firm's London practice and global English law platform are now as large and full-service as many of the well-established UK firms, but with the added advantage of a powerful international network. Lawyers in the London office handle work all over the world, alongside all of our other offices. While Latham originated in the United States, often a significant advantage, the firm's practice is genuinely global, which means our lawyers don't work around US hours in London or rely on our offices in the United States for deal flow.
As well as the outstanding professional opportunities Latham offers, we believe our "one firm" culture makes us stand out as an excellent place to grow as a lawyer. The firm is run by consensus, and almost all of the committees which are responsible for running the business are staffed by associates and partners from across all of our offices. This includes our unique Associates Committee, which makes significant decisions, including the selection of new partners.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Latham recruits only the highest caliber candidates, in terms of both academics and personality. We pride ourselves not only on the standard of our work, but also on our collegial atmosphere and collaborative style, which the firm works hard to maintain. Latham is comprised of people from a variety of backgrounds and with a diversity of opinions. We value originality and creative thinking, and put a strong emphasis on client service, entrepreneurship and teamwork.
We seek candidates with a strong academic background (a minimum 2:1 degree and grades of at least AAB at A-level or equivalent). We look for excellent communication skills and a consistent record of personal and/or professional achievement. We value an entrepreneurial spirit and initiative.
Latham carefully selects all of its trainees because they will play a vital role in the future growth and success of the firm. We strive to establish a reciprocal and long-term relationship from the first day, with a focus on developing our attorneys' potential.
If you are proactive about your career, expect to work hard, and want to stand out from the crowd, we want to hear from you.
Latham hires approximately 20 trainees in August each year. The training contract consists of four six-month seats, including mandatory Corporate, Finance and Litigation seats. There is also an opportunity to spend six months in one of our overseas offices, such as Hong Kong, Brussels, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Singapore, Dubai, Paris, Moscow or New York.
Trainees share an office with their supervisor in each seat and are also assigned an associate mentor as an extra means of support. They are encouraged at all stages to communicate with their supervisor and with the office's Recruiting Committee to make sure their career is following the path that they wish to pursue.
As far as possible, training is bespoke and tailored to an individual's preferences. It is a two-way process, developing as a result of ongoing dialogue and consultation. In addition to learning "on the job," there is a formal training programme providing trainees with the fundamentals of the group they are joining on rotation, as well as more specific skills such as drafting and networking.
Trainees are given plenty of responsibility, but the Latham culture means you will never feel like you are out on your own, because you can always talk to an associate or a partner to get any support you need. Above all, our trainees are treated as members of the team who are able to make a meaningful contribution from the start, which means you get signifigant exposure to client work as well as building relationships with individuals at all levels within the firm.
Latham offers two-week placement schemes twice a year for candidates considering applying for a training contract with the firm, one during Easter and one during the summer. The dates for our 2014 vacation schemes are 31 March – 11 April and 30 June – 11 July.
As the firm recruits predominately from these schemes, we encourage candidates to apply for these rather than applying directly for a training contract. For the Easter scheme, we invite applications from candidates who are in their final year of university, who have graduated, or who are completing or who have completed their GDL or LPC. The summer scheme is primarily aimed at law undergraduates in their penultimate year of study.
If a candidate accepts an offer to participate in one of the firm's vacation schemes, he or she will spend a week in two separate departments. Before arriving, participants are invited to tell us their preferences in terms of practice areas, and we will do our best to accommodate these. During each seat, participants are treated like any other Latham trainee and share an office with a supervisor who is a qualified lawyer.
During the scheme, candidates are asked to produce two pieces of written work and deliver a short presentation to a group of their peers about one of the firm's practice areas. Participants also attend presentations given by lawyers from across the office in order to gain a thorough view of the work Latham does. Candidates are all assigned a mentor before the scheme starts, usually a current trainee, who is a friendly face throughout the scheme.
Candidates enjoy plenty of social events, where they have the opportunity to meet lawyers and trainees who are available to answer questions and discuss what life as a Latham lawyer is all about.
To join Latham's Easter vacation scheme, please apply online between 1 October and 31 December, and to join the summer scheme, please apply by 31 January.
The deadline for applications for training contracts is 31 July.
We encourage anyone who is interested in pursuing a career at Latham to apply for a place on one of our vacation schemes, as the majority of our training contracts will go to people who have participated in one of these schemes. We accept around 20 students onto each of our two vacation schemes annually, and we pay £350 per week vacation scheme remuneration.
Want to know more? Download our full brochure, which tells you more about the fantastic opportunities we offer our trainees and qualified lawyers.
Already decided? If you have already made up your mind to apply for a place on one of our vacation schemes or for a training contract, please apply online.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Latham's summer program in London is designed to give US law students the opportunity to experience what it is like to live and work as a US admitted lawyer in London. Our London summer associates will have the opportunity to work on challenging and exciting capital markets transactions for clients located across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, with significant partner and client access and the chance to travel to international client meetings. Our summer associates also participate in our London training program, which has been developed to help associates learn how to manage and execute deals in the cross-border context.
The London office seeks 2L law students interested in practicing exclusively in the US Capital Markets Group. US admitted attorneys in the London office focus on high yield debt and equity capital markets offerings. The practice is fully integrated into the firm's broader worldwide Corporate and Finance departments. The US Capital Markets Group in London consists of approximately 45 attorneys and it is part of a growing London office of 250 fee earners. The US team works closely with our English-law trained colleagues in the London office, Latham lawyers in our 16 other offices in Europe and the Middle East and with our colleagues across the firm globally.
During the summer, the London summer associates can expect to participate in drafting sessions with opposing counsel, bankers and senior management, reviewing offering documents and a wide range of other projects. In addition to gaining hands-on experience, London summer associates will participate in the firm's formal training curriculum and introductory courses covering a broad range of practical topics relating to equity and high yield capital markets transactions. The training sessions are designed to give summer associates a general understanding of our practice and the work they would do as associates in the London office. The London summer associates also participate in Summer Academy, which brings together the firm's summer associates from around the world for three days of training, social events, and the opportunity to meet with attorneys and leaders across the firm. We take pride in the collegial nature of the team in London and our summer associates will meet the partners and associates, both in the office and at a full range of social events.
Latham's summer program in London runs for 10 weeks and accomodations are provided.
Click here for additional information on Latham's summer program for US law students and click the "Summer Program" tab at the top of the page.
During the law school interview season, Latham & Watkins conducts interviews with JD candidates around the country for summer and first-year associate positions. Along with the firm's US offices, the London office participates in on-campus interviews at a number of US law schools and considers applications through resume collections at a number of additional law schools. For a complete list of schools, please click here and select "Where to Meet Us."
In keeping with Latham's "one-firm" culture, we typically send a team of lawyers who are committed to outreach at that particular school to interview students on behalf of all of our offices.
The London office also participates in job fairs and interview programs throughout the year and sponsors various on-campus information sessions, substantive presentations and receptions. If your school is not listed on Latham's US Law School Interviews and Events Calendar — or if you are unable to meet with us while we are on campus for interviews and you would like to pursue opportunities with Latham — please forward a cover letter, resume and transcript to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Latham's commitment to diversity and equal opportunity enables the firm to draw from a remarkable wealth of talent to create one of the world's leading law firms. Learn more about our commitment.

Braxton Upthegrove and his family have been raising awareness for organ donation for a couple years.
The family said their passion for the subject came when they found out Braxton needed a kidney.
Today, they hosted an event called "Battle 'Till We Win" at Backstretch Bar and Grill.
The Upthegrove's said they hopefully inspire people to become organ donors and will also keep the conversation going about organ donation.
There was food, corn hole, raffles, a silent auction and live music.

Evangel Profile
Dr. Geoffrey Sutton: Professor of Psychology
March 27, 2013
Originally from London, England, Dr. Geoffrey Sutton has been teaching psychology courses full-time at Evangel since 2002. Dr. Sutton, an Evangel graduate with a Ph.D. in School Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia, has published more than 70 articles and books. He is vice chairman of the International Board of the Christian Association for Psychological Studies and is a regular contributor to the Journal of Psychology and Christianity.
Dr. Sutton's wide variety of hobbies ranges from playing Xbox 360 to traveling the world. He completed his first marathon in 2009, and enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking and disk golf. Dr. Sutton and his wife, Sandra, met at Evangel almost 40 years ago as students. They have one son, Nathan, who is also married, and one granddaughter.
What originally interested you in psychology?
I have always enjoyed philosophy and science. Psychological science allows me to explore my interest in human nature using scientific methods.
During your time as an Evangel student, what was the most important thing you learned?
Aside from meeting my wife, I learned how a Christian worldview can embrace the scientific study of behavior.
Did you ever imagine you would return one day as a professor? What was that experience like?
Not until I moved to Springfield. Initially, it was surreal to walk in buildings like the library where I first met my wife or the gym where I played intramural sports. It felt pleasantly familiar, like a visit home.
What has been the most memorable moment of your career so far?
The opportunity to find that psychology can encompass two different yet compatible careers. One as a clinician and the other as a psychological scientist/professor.
What is your favorite part about teaching psychology here at Evangel?
I enjoy the opportunity to mentor students through the research process from an idea to completion and presentations at regional conferences. Of course, it is always exciting when our work is accepted for publication.
What do you think makes Evangel's psychology program unique when compared to other universities?
The research component is well supported for a small school and because of our emphasis on the integration of faith and psychology we can study such variables as forgiveness, love, hope and humility from the perspective of both psychology and Christian theology.
What advice do you have for potential Evangel students, especially those considering a career in psychology?
Be open to the broad spectrum of psychological knowledge, which informs or adds to every field of study associated with human and animal behavior.

Retailers try gift cards to lure shoppers
Will deals be good enough for you to take the bait?
Retailers are trying a new tactic to lure you into stores for this holiday season: gift cards, or gift card promotions. Their goal: get people to spend money without offering the deep discounts offered last year.
We share MSN Money columnist Liz Pulliam Weston's distaste for gift cards, and were particularly annoyed that our recent rebates from Verizon and Sears came in the form of Visa gift cards rather than checks we could deposit in the bank. We coped as best we could by immediately spending them on groceries.
Normally retailers expect gift cards to be used in the weeks after Christmas and Hanukkah. But this year they are hoping gift cards, or gift card promotions that offer discounts, will lure shoppers before the holidays, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Complaints about fees and expiration have already dulled the luster of gift cards, and the recession has also cut into their popularity. The National Retail Federation expects shoppers to choose discounted merchandise over gift cards this year.
"In a recession, people are looking for merchandise on sale," Ellen Davis, NRF vice president, told USA Today. "Instead of buying a $50 gift card, many will opt for a $50 sweater that's on sale for 35 bucks."
Retailers are hoping to combat this with gift card promotions that include discounts. Target has created $25 cards that double as toys, the WSJ reports. Costco is offering cards that function like coupons. A current promotion offers $50 in Jamba Juice cards for $39.99. A Best Buy promotion offering a $50 iTunes gift card for $40 is already sold out. According to the WSJ, Neiman Marcus Group is giving free $50 cards to thousands of shoppers, and Target plans to hand out cards worth $10 to shoppers who spend at least $100 before noon on Black Friday.
The best holiday deals are unlikely to show up before Black Friday, SmartMoney reports, and the discounts probably won't be as deep as we saw last year. Last year, retailers discounted items by as much as 80%, Marie Driscoll, a director in Standard & Poor's equity research department, told SmartMoney. This year, most holiday sales won't knock more than 40% to 60% off the original price, she said, and there won't be as many deals.
Will these gift cards deals lure shoppers into the stores for early holiday shopping? We can see how they would appeal to the stores, since by giving you a gift card for making a purchase, they ensure you'll return to spend it. But will consumers take the bait and start their holiday shopping early?

How does being left-handed affect our learning and brain?
Hello, everyone. :)
I've been left-handed all my life and I come from a country where this was punished shortly before I was born.
(I can call myself lucky I guess :)
Since early age I've been good at languages and it hasn't stopped. :)
So I was wondering:
Are you left-handed?
How did it affect you?
Was it important throughout your education?
How do you think it affects learning anyway?
Please, share your thoughts and aspirations. :)
Thank you! Just a thought:

Micah EatonJul 9 2013: Wow, the movie was interesting. I'm not left handed, but I do have a contribution to the thread. It comes from my work. I deliver medication to healthcare facilities. In that capacity I get to observe the handedness of the people who sign for the medicine.
A huge number of people in healthcare are left-handed. Sometimes out of the 10 - 15 people I observe daily 50% or more are lefties.
I have watched this phenomenon occur before me and wondered to myself if there was something about the way that left-handed people think that somehow causes them to gravitate toward the healthcare field. Now I have to also consider that it might be the absence of their twin that causes this. Perhaps, on a subconscious level, they are aware of a lack and that awareness compels those people to enter that profession? Perhaps there is some other physiological thing that happens due to the twin loss process?
I guess an experiment would be to find out how many left-handed people really do work in healthcare and then to determine how many of them might show signs of the kind of post certain development level reversal that the movie claims leads to left-handedness. It would be interesting to see if either result was outside of what a statistical response would expect.

Thursday, November 8, 2007
husband making fondue, andrew swiping bread
The conversation starts so innocently with, "what are your plans this week?" Before sensibility, 3 loads of laundry and my mile long to-do list can catch up to my big mouth, I've already invited half the neighborhood over for supper. As the "gourmet chef" amongst my friends, it's been a natural progression over the past few years to just consider my home the free local restaurant. Normally, this is a great thing, as my friends are recipients of recipe testing and my fanciful food experiments. Plus, they bring wine, laughter, cute kids and sometimes even help wash the dishes afterwards.
But it's getting old.
It would just be nice to be invited to someone's house for a change. To not have to plan menu, shop, prep and crazily clean the house 15 minutes before guests arrive. And when I say "clean," I really mean throw toys in the closet, scootch cracker crumbs under the couch with my feet, swipe the layer of dust on the glass table with my forearm and stash away traces of super convenience foods like Rice-a-Roni, instant ramen and Betty Crocker. You know, items that a gourmet chef would never be caught dead with in her kitchen.
Most of my friends would rather treat us out for dinner occasionally, sparing themselves of the unnecessary stress of entertaining. Maybe it's the fear factor of what to prepare for someone who cooks and writes about food for a living. Oh but how I long to let my kids mess up their house, spill a little red wine on their cheap ass carpet, ask them difficult math questions while they are orchestrating the final touches of 5 dishes to be served steaming hot simultaneously, and get deliriously drunk and "forget" to help clean the kitchen…..continued….
I'm craving nothing fancy schmancy, really. Just a simple, low-maintenance meal like Aged Cheddar & Guinness Fondue. There's really no cooking involved, and no, I don't count melting cheese as cooking. There are endless variations of fondue, but the combination of sweet, nutty, aged cheddar and the smooth, espresso-like Guinness is my absolute favorite.
The secret to a smooth cheese mixture is to toss the flour with the grated cheese before adding it to the fondue pot. This method evenly distributes the flour (which serves as the thickener) and prevents lumpy fondue! The unexpected ingredient is apple juice concentrate – which balances out the Guinness and aged cheddar beautifully with a hint of sweetness. The acidity also helps create a smooth, creamy cheese. Just a great combo of flavors.
One of our favorite fondue dippers are baby pigs in a blanket. Simple to make – 1 can/tube of crescent dough + Lil' Smokies baby sausage links. Unroll the dough, cut into strips – wrap each Lil' Smokie and bake 375F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Aged Cheddar & Guinness Fondue Recipe
Inspired by this recipe. If you don't have a fondue pot, just prepare the fondue dip in a medium sized saucepan and bring it to the table hot. You may have to warm the fondue back at the stove a couple of times during the meal. If the cheese gets too thick, thin it out with a little more Guinness. Tossing the grated cheese with flour ensures a smooth, lump-free fondue.
Ingredients:2 apples, cored & cut into chunks
2 cups cauliflower florets
2 cups lg cubed ham
2 cups baby carrots, each halved
1 baguette (or any bread with lots of crusty crust)
1 lb good aged cheddar, grated
2 ½ tbs all-purpose flour
8 oz. Guinness stout + more if needed
6 tablespoons frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
1 tsp powdered mustard
1 tsp finely minced garlic
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp olive oil
- Toast bread: If your bread is day-old, skip this step. Otherwise cut the bread into 1" squares. Turn oven to 250F. Toast bread pieces for 15 minutes. Remove and cool.
- Make fondue: Toss grated cheese with the flour. In your fondue pot over low heat, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and garlic. Fry until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Turn heat to medium-high. Add Guinness, apple juice concentrate, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Bring to boil. Add cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly until fondue is smooth and melted. Thin with more Guinness, if needed throughout the meal. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Arrange bread, vegetables and fruit around the table. Other ideas: broccoli, pigs in blanket (made with lil' smokies wrapped with crescent roll dough unrolled & cut into strips, bake 375F for 12 minutes) , celery, boiled new potatoes, grapes, steamed Brussels sprouts, boiled shrimp.
I love this recipe! Never tried to make fondue (did I type the word correct? before, and it's Saturday tomorrow, why not to try? Everything is explained so easy, hope it will go well. I'm not a good cook yet
I love love love fondue. It's my absolute favorite. I'll have to try this recipe. I usually make mine from lager, cheddar + gruyere cheese, a little flour, dash of Worcestershire, ground mustard and freshly cracked pepper. Garnish with scallions. Mmmm. Your recipe looks wonderful. I'll have to give it a try – maybe this weekend!
I don't know what I like more…… Your story or the recipe. I laughed my ass off! I very frequently feel the exact same way, although I am not a gourmet chef I seem to be the only one of my friends and family that is capable of having a full time job with 3 children and constantly cooking enormous meals for everyone and entertaining. The house gets wrecked, the sink is full of dishes and all of the wine is gone by the time they leave. Gotta love it, but when is it my turn????
Thank you very much for this amazing recipe! We made it for New Years eve, with friends and it was great!
This recipe is just fabulous. I've tried making fondue several times, but they always had something wrong with them. I've had them never come together, always staying separate, or just tasting plain wrong. When I tried this recipe, it came out perfect the very first time! Cannot wait to do this again for Valentine's Day.
I really wanted to like this, but it was just too much – the tanginess was overpowering for our palates and we have pretty hardy tastebuds. The first couple of bites were amazing though.
We made this today for Mother's Day. It was a hit! And the pigs in a blanket were devilishly good! The consistency was spot on and the flavor was rich and creamy. Thanks!

SACRAMENTO, CA - FEBRUARY 18: California Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg speaks during a session of the California State Senate February 18, 2009 in Sacramento, California. The California legislature has stalled its vote on a State budget proposal after the GOP party ousted its leader, Dave Cogdill, R-Fresno. The stalled budget caused Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to issue 20,000 pink slips to state workers and threatens hundreds of state funded public works projects. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
I've been very tough in this space on California teachers' unions for opposing the use and public availability of new data tools for evaluating teachers. So it's only fair to defend these unions when they're being unfairly criticized.
The California Teachers Assn., for example, is getting a bad rap this week for killing a bill offered by the top Democrat in the State Senate, Darrell Steinberg. The bill proposed to limit the number of teacher lay-offs in poor schools, which has been a problem. A lawsuit filed by the ACLU in Los Angeles charges that such schools have born the brunt of recent layoffs. The lawsuit's factual charges have not been rebutted.
CTA, in working to kill the bill in the Assembly, has been widely portrayed in press accounts as engaged in legislative bullying or political payback against Steinberg, with whom the union is quarreling. What's been missed is the fact that the union was right on the policy question.
Put simply: There's no reason for the state government to be laying down hard and fast rules for how school districts and schools cope with layoffs. California's school system is already too centrally controlled, with too many rules imposed from Sacramento. This centralization, which dates to court decisions and the passage of Prop 13 in the 1970s, has been a disaster for the state.
Rules like this only deepen the centralization. Most research suggests that it's far more productive to allow school districts -- and especially individual schools -- to make their own decisions.
CTA pointed this out. It also pointed out the very real possibility of unintended consequences of the bill's requirement that the rate of lay-offs in poorer schools be in line with the rate of lay-offs in that school district. If this bill had passed, districts likely would have issued more lay-off notices to more teachers, even if they were later rescinded (to make sure the overall percentage of teachers being laid off was high enough so that virtually any school could stay under that percentage). The law was also at odds with other state mandates on teacher credentialing.
That said, it's easy to be cynical about CTA and teachers unions that defend the seniority-based system, which protects teachers based on experience and not performance. Protecting that system may well have been CTA's real motive here.
But it's unfair to condemn a union for opposing a bad policy, whatever its reasons.
