SodaStream Shares Plunge To All-Time Low

Shares of SodaStream International were down close to 18% in pre-market trading Tuesday, setting up the stock to open below $23 for the first time ever. The stock’s previous low of $27.44 was hit on Monday as shares were down 42.7% year-to-date before the morning plunge.
In a preliminary earnings report released Tuesday SodaStream estimated its third quarter revenue will come in at $125 million, down 13.5% from the same period last year and more than $25 million short of Wall Street analysts’ consensus call for modest year-over-year growth. The home carbonation system maker says its operating income will be approximately $8.5 million, down 52.8% from the same period last year.
“We are very disappointed in our recent performance,” said CEO Daniel Birnbaum in a statement on the results. He noted that new customer demand for the company’s soda making machines and flavors was lower than expected in the U.S. He called the results, “a clear indication that we must alter our course and improve our execution across the board.”
In its second quarter earnings report last month the company wrote of plans to pump U.S. sales by focusing on health and wellness. In Tuesday’s release Birnbaum added that the company will be developing “a comprehensive growth plan,” details of which will be shared when SodaStream official reports third quarter results on October 29.
Birnbaum added, “We have a strong balance sheet and are well positioned with ample liquidity to invest in the areas of our business that we believe will fuel profitable growth in the years ahead.”
The Israeli company’s 2014 woes began in early January when, in a preliminary earnings release similar to Tuesday’s, it told investors 2013 earnings would be 23% lower than it had forecast earlier. Things appeared to be getting worse in February when Coca-Cola and Green Mountain Coffeeannounced a partnership to develop an at-home soda making system. Then SodaStream’s stock rebounded some as rumors swirled that the company was talking with PepsiCo, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group and Starbucks about a possible sale.

New Report: Spider-Man Could Join The Avengers... Many Years From Now... If Sinister Six Flops
According to a new report by Entertainment Weekly, Marvel/Disney has had opening conversations with Sony about the future of the Spider-Man character and whether he could be involved in the MCU. Sources that spoke to the publication stated that while the official answer is no, the unofficial answer is that it could potentially happen a number of years from now. However, Sony is still going full speed ahead with the Sinister Six movie planned for 2016 and the studio sees that as a barometer of the future of the Spider-Man universe at Sony. If the Sinister Six flops at the box office "only then would any deep negotiations be had" about Spider-Man joining the Avengers on the big screen.
The report also notes that while Marvel wants Spider-Man back, they don't see it as critical since the studio already plans to introduce a number of new characters in coming years. Indeed, even if it were to get the rights back to Spider-Man, the character would most likely become a "supporting player in one of the movies already in the works."

All you Need is Love, ONTD! Watch Jennifer Garner Flirt with Ben Affleck Before They Got Together
This is interesting, and also kind of weird. Is it weird in a sweet, it-was-destiny sort of way, or just creepyweird? (Who can say?) Over at Vulture, they got hold of video of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner appearing together as Jon Favreau’s Dinner for Five guests. The episode aired in 2003; at the time, Garner was still married to Scott Foley, and Affleck was newly engaged to Jennifer López. Though Garner and Foley separated within a couple months, Affleck remained engaged for another year, and came pretty darned close to marrying Lopez in September 2003. But check out this video of a super-smiley and flirty Garner (she and Affleck had just worked together on Daredevil)…looks like she nursed that crush a long time.
So what do you think, sweet or strange? Did Garner pine after Ben all that time, or was their later relationship just serendipity? Not that it matters; the pair have an enduring marriage and an adorable family. In the end it’s really just a curious look back at a moment captured in time.
(If you want to go straight to the moment where Garner “fell in love”, start at about the 20:00 mark)

"Big Bad Wolves" Directors Postpone Palestine Film
After Big Bad Wolves was named the best movie of 2013 by Quentin Tarantino, Israeli directors Navot Papushado and Aharon Keshales planned to make their epic western Once Upon a Time in Palestine. Now they have decided to wait, because they are afraid their film would be manipulated by politicians on both sides.
“It will get the wrong attention...people will try to use it for their own agenda.” Papushado said.
Keshales added, “It becomes propaganda instead of being a feature film.”
“We don’t want to be pawns in a political debate,” Papushado said. “We don’t want this movie and us to be taken advantage of by our government.”

Adele still earns £80k a day despite not releasing album for four years
The warbler that goes by the name of Adele hasn’t released an album for four years so she must be in need of a bit of cash, right? WRONG! The star is still earning up to a MASSIVE £80,000 [~$128,000] per day despite her last album 21 coming out in 2011.
The record earned her £54million the 22 months up until December 2013 through her companies Melted Stone and Melted Stone Publishing. Adele paid herself a dividend of £5.2million in the second half of 2013 with a salary of £5.6million in the first half and £2.86million in the latest accounting period.
And all this without really going to work for the last four years! She needn’t worry about her money running out either – her third studio album is set to be released in 2015. We're definitely in the wrong job.

Here Is First Look At Bravos New Show Real Euros Of Hollywood!
After watching the trailer for upcoming docu-series Euros of Hollywood, I’m 99% certain Bravo has a direct line to my heart. Andy Cohen truly knows how to treat a reality TV-loving lady. Sure, the channel has had its misfires (I still scowl whenever anyone mentions the lukewarm bowl of “meh” that was Game of Crowns), but more often than not, the shows are exactly what the doctor ordered.
What happens when six outrageous Europeans living in Los Angeles strive to achieve their own version of the American Dream?
You're about to find out. Bravo is thrilled to announce our new docu-series Euros of Hollywood will premiere on November 3 at 10p ET.
Over the course of Season 1, we'll meet a pop diva known as the Madonna of Albania, a Prada-wearing Italian Renaissance man whose goal is to win an Oscar, and other ambitious European transplants who will stop at nothing to rise to the top.
With their hearts on their sleeves and a shared bond as Europeans, they will help each other out in their pursuit of fame, fortune and family.

Peasant Korean Netizens throw shade at Legendary Icon Coloratura Soprano Princess Mariah Carey
Original Korean Article: 'As cold as the weather' Mariah Carey's Korean concert... what changed?
Source: TV Report via Naver
English Translation of Comments in Original Korean Article
1. [+7,609, -72] The absolute worst... I can't believe I actually paid money and left work early to watch such a horrific concert.
2. [+6,214, -81] She was bad right from her first track ㅠㅠ I feel bad for anyone who paid to watch this ㅋㅋ I saw an ajumma walk out in the beginning saying, "Wow, this is so trash that I can't even listen to it.." I agreed ㅜ ㅜ
3. [+5,889, -109] Mariah Carey... it already feels like she's a has been but she's not even professional anymore. Beyonce performed with such passion and effort in Korea.. Why can't Mariah anymore?
4. [+4,959, -68] Probably a lack of preparation... And she's signifcantly older now too..
5. [+4,496, -64] She performed poorly again... Please stop coming to Korea
6. [+1,152, -10] I'm a Carey fan who just got back from the concert.. I thought she'd at least perform her most famous tracks in Korea like Hero or Without You but she didn't!! And the majority of the concert was spent on dancing and instrumental performances instead of her singing. A lot of lip syncing instead of live as well.. Overall, a disappointment.
7. [+1,089, -35] Even Ailee's better than this
8. [+1,016, -19] I was so excited to see her after 11 years ㅜㅜ I'm so angry and sad and upset...
9. [+979, -10] I left the concert because I couldn't bear to listen to anything more ㅜ The concert sounds like it was intentionally trying to garner hateful comments. The audience deserves a refund ㅜ
10. [+982, -17] Wow.. I just got out of the concert ㅠㅠ I'm such a huge fan that I was going to be satisfied with just seeing her live but she lacks so much basic things as a singer.. Her voice cracked, she forgot the lyrics to 'We Belong Together', everything had an MR, she left before her high note on 'Heartbreaker'ㅠㅠ Is this a joke? Doesn't she want to make money off her tour? I think I'm just going to be a fan of her music videos ㅠㅠ Can't believe I sat an hour in the cold for that ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Is The Redskins'"VIP" Native American Defender A Fake Native?
Mark One Wolf was, for a time, a favored native in Dan Snyder's fight to save the "Redskins" nickname. "Native American backing team name is VIP at practice," read a Richmond Times-Dispatch headline. It was accompanied by an Associated Press photo of One Wolf in profile, as if to echo the team's logo. But that was July. Now folks on both sides of the squabble agree on one thing: One Wolf makes poor Liz Warren look like Pocahontas.
"He is the 21st-century version of William 'Lone Star' Dietz," says Toby Vanlandingham, an anti-name activist from the Yurok Reservation in California. Dietz was the former Redskins coach whose reputed Sioux heritage inspired the team's nickname, according to the save-the-name camp, even though most evidence available today suggests he was neither Indian nor the inspiration.
"Mark One Wolf is a fucking phony," says ReGina Zuni, an ardent pro-namer living on the Isleta Pueblo reservation in New Mexico. Zuni says she's so convinced that One Wolf's not really an Indian that she emailed the team to warn them to stay away from him, lest they get caught using another—yes, another—poseur.
Authentic or not, One Wolf's star shone brightest during Washington's training camp in July in Richmond. He showed up at the team's workouts wearing an urban Indian ensemble and an RGIII jersey, his long black ponytail accessorized by a red bandana, a Western-looking necklace, and a cap with turkey feathers. The name controversy was overshadowing every other story, so media flocked to the Indian-looking dude in team colors.
That's how the Times-Dispatch found him. The story discussed One Wolf's founding of Native American Redskins Fans, a group for name sympathizers, and how he'd been a special guest at RGIII's mom's birthday party because he stood out.
While in Richmond, One Wolf gave his pro-name spiel to anybody with a media credential. "It's never been an issue for me or my family," One Wolf said as a camera rolled. "The Redskins name, it's always been a term that we felt was a unifying term."
That soundbite landed him a featured role in the video titled " Redskins Is a Powerful Name," released by Redskins Facts, a new group that lobbied for support for the name. The team initially attempted to disguise Redskins Facts as a grassroots deal, but the operation was quickly unmasked as the work of PR powerhouse Burson-Marsteller.
He enjoyed that first stint in the spotlight so much he kept going for more. In late August, One Wolf used his position with the native fans group to call for all Indians to boycott the Washington Post because of the paper's coverage of the name debate. In his plea for subscribers to cancel and surfers to avoid the paper's website, he said:
I see first hand your handling of the Redskins name debate and this leads me to wonder how many other stories over the years have been skewed with bias? What other half truths have you told? Today it is about the Redskins and being that I'm part of the group of human beings that do not matter to your ratings, I have no confidence that this bias doesn't find it's way into other stories of the day. Therefore I see no further point to read your publication
The Snyder-owned fan board Extremeskins.com trumpeted One Wolf's pitch for a Post boycott.
One Wolf quite literally became the face of the save-the-name movement: One supporter was so happy to have a real live Indian on her side that she made a poster in burgundy and gold with his profile replacing the helmet logo.
"I never asked for that," the guy known as One Wolf now says when asked about the notoriety he's gained from taking the team's side in the name brouhaha. "I just showed up to camp. But it was a privilege and an honor to be in that position."
Even before he was fêted by Snyder, lots of Native Americans also involved in the name squabble were on One Wolf's trail. And this bunch has no problem believing what he said in Snyder's propaganda film, the part about how the team's name was never a big deal for him or his family.
"We can't find anything about him that's native, and we've had a lot of people look into this," says Jacqueline Keeler, an Oregon writer and anti-native mascot activist. (Keeler helped assemble the native panel that appeared in the recent name-tackling episode of The Daily Show.)
It didn't take long for those looking at One Wolf, who has been dubbed "One Puppy" by the anti-name faction, to find he has serious name issues of his own. For all his talk about not wanting the team to change its name, it turns out the guy going by One Wolf sure likes changing his.
Public records show he was born Mark E. Yancey in 1973 in Washington D.C. He calls himself Mark Suzuki on online résumés. He's passed himself off as Mark Yan here and there and used that handle in comment sections wherever the name was being debated. He had a MySpace page using Kram Yecnay. The Redskins Facts organization ID'd him as Mark One Wolf, while he often contracts the surname by one character to OneWolf. And he touted the team's name on Facebook pages, including the Redskins Facts site, as "Mark Yazzie." At least two of his Facebook pages— "Mark Yazzie" and "Mark OneWolf"— have been terminated for using pseudonyms. Of late, he has been going by Dalaa Ba'Cho.
His alleged tribal affiliations appear to be extremely malleable, too. Yancey watchers say that earlier this year One Wolf was calling himself a Cherokee while backing Snyder's naming rights on the message boards at powwows.com, a clearinghouse for Native issues. "He changed that when I called him out on it," says Vanlandingham. On that same site, Yancey/One Wolf now ID's himself as DaLaa Ba'Cho and lists his affiliation as "Chiricahua Apache/Mexica." North Carolina court records from 2007 (dug up by my colleague Diana Moskovitz) list him as "Native American/Alaskan." His recent use of "Mark Yazzie" as his internet handle suggested to those familiar with native ways that he was trying to pass as Navajo. Turns out "Yazzie" is the "Smith" or "Jones" of that tribe; 18 of the approximately 300 Navajo Code Talkers recognized by Congress in 2011—including William Yazzie, a member of the original 29 Code Talkers and a Congressional Gold Medal recipient—had that surname. (The Redskins trotted out a quartet of Navajo Code Talkers in team gear during a Monday Night Football broadcast in November 2013 while the name debate was at a slower boil.)
"When he was calling himself 'Mark Yazzie,' and saying he's Apache, that showed he doesn't do his research very well," says Keeler, who adds that she is enrolled in the Navajo tribe. "If you're going to fake it, make it believable."
And "Mexica"?
"'Mexica' is not a tribe," says Ray Ramirez of the Native American Rights Fund, a Colorado group that began fighting against Indian-themed team mascots soon after its 1970 founding. "It's a word that's used to refer to mixed breeds between Spanish and Indian blood. You see that word used when people don't have a tribe." (Ramirez's organization sent Yancey's Native American Redskins Fans a cease-and-desist letter for using the acronym they'd established and thereby causing confusion in the marketplace. Yancey had to watch another Facebook page go away. His clique returned to Facebook as Native American Redskins Nation.)
ugene Herrod of the Southern California Indian Center (SCIC), who admits he has been monitoring Yancey's pro-name campaigning since last year, says there are two criteria generally used to identify natives: enrollment in a federally recognized tribe or "some sort of cultural relevance, such as being brought up in a native environment such as a reservation."
So his claim of being Chiricahua Apache wouldn't fly with the SCIC, either. The greatest and most mythologized Indian warrior of them all, Geronimo, also identified himself as a Chiricahua Apache. But the U.S. government, which captured Geronimo in the late 19th century on the way to committing genocide against his people, no longer recognizes such a tribe. There is now only a website at ChiricahuaApache.org for a 501(c)(3) organization that offers membership to folks who fill out a form and pay $5 membership fee.
Herrod says that he's traced the Yancey family back a few generations and finds lots of African-American blood and some Asian, but no native blood and no branch on the family tree that ever got anywhere near any Indian reservation. Yancey's parents are both listed as alumni of Spingarn High School in Washington D.C., located right across Benning Road NE from the local NFL team's former home, RFK Stadium.
"For all that he says he is, there is not one single tribe that claims him," Herrod says. "Nobody knows who he is. Everything we've found about him and his parents indicates that they identify as African American. As far as I can tell, I think he's read a lot about Indians, but that doesn't make him an Indian."
Zuni is among those who find Yancey's sidling up to the Chiricahua Apache very suspect.
"So now he's claiming to belong not to a tribe, but a 503(c) corporation?" Zuni says. "He's claiming a fucking non-profit? He's making a mockery of us all. How dare he? How fucking dare he?"
If Yancey is, as alleged, indeed a fraud, he wouldn't be the first non-native to get propped up by the team in the mascot fight.
"There's always another one," says Keeler, adding that her parents both protested against Chief Wahoo, the anachronistic and overwhelmingly reviled native caricature somehow still employed by the Cleveland Indians.
In the early days of the name squabble, Washington's former owner, Jack Kent Cooke, would invite the performer known as Princess Pale Moon to sing the national anthem on nationally televised broadcasts.
She variously claimed Choctaw, Ojibwa, Blackfoot, and Cherokee affiliations. Her tribal ties were always suspect. But she was head of a Falls Church, Va.-based group called the American Indian Heritage Foundation. That 501(c)(3) group gets credit for lobbying the White House in 1990 to initiate American Indian Heritage Month each November. Her façade was ripped away when she was booted out of the U.S. exhibit at the 1992 World's Fair in Spain because her Indian heritage had been declared bogus. The Associated Press account reported that she wasn't registered with any tribe recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the story had the head of the National Congress of American Indians railing that the Princess couldn't "verify that she's descended from any tribe she claims." He continued, "She could just as well claim to be Queen of England."
One of the best and funniest phonies was Chief Stephen Dodson, who appeared on a Snyder-funded infomercial called Redskins Nation back in May 2013 to vouch for all the love the name "Redskins" gets from those on the reservation. At the time, Snyder's main line of offense was promoting the crap out of every high school with a measurable native population that used the same nickname as his team. Dodson was identified on the program as "a full-blooded American Inuit chief originally from the Aleutian Tribes of Alaska." Turns out he wasn't full-blooded anything and had no traceable amount of Inuit or Aleutian in his background. Besides, the Inuit and Aleut don't have reservations in Alaska.
