"In general the quality of service was good, the swimming pool was not clean, also sauna (both dry and steam) were not working. The maintenance gentleman who showed up did not tell us why the sauna was not working."
9 out of 10 | Marlene stayed September 06, 2009
"We were on the 16th floor and the view was spectacular...will request the same room next stay. Disappointed no fireworks on the Saturday night as we had been told there would be fireworks at 10:00 p.m."
5 out of 10 | Brenda stayed June 30, 2006
"I guess that I am not used to valet parking. I like to just get into my own truck when I want and not wait for it. I booked on the internet and didn't realize that this disqualified my family for the extras like the breakfast buffets. After I found that out then I was told that I could not even upgrade to get this included. I mean this place did not even include complementary coffee in your room when you woke up you even had to pay for that. Why do you even have to pay for local calling. I would have used my cell phone but it wouldn't work because of some roaming problem. I guess I like to stay in nice places with great views of the falls but I don't make alot of money and sometimes it is nice to be able to have all classes of people enjoy your hotel and it seems to cater to only of those who have alot of money. I am middle class and we are comfortable but we still watch what we spend on."
9 out of 10 | David stayed May 29, 2005
"The room did not get cool enough. Other than that it exceeded our expectations.We really enjoyed our stay and the bed was the most comfortable we had ever slept in."

"Awesome view of Horseshoe Falls from hotel window."

"The most unfriendly frontdesk we�ve ever seen (since check-out as well as since check-in)."
10 out of 10 | Frank stayed September 03, 2004
"We were given a complimentary upgrade when I told of our disappoint-ing stay at the Radison there at the falls.The manager said she was giving me an upgrade so that I would remember the Marriot. Our Reser-vation was for floor 3 to floor 8. She upgraded us to floor 18. The view and amenities were beyond our expectations. We spent three won-derful nights glued to the spectacular view of the falls. Also from the completion of registration we were called by name whether in per-son or on the phone. My only complaint was the daily parking fee."

Firefox OS Gets Developer Preview Phones

Mozilla has announced that
Firefox OS, their mobile operating system
built around the web with HTML5 applications, have announced developer phones. These developer phones are hardware intended to be used when developing for Mozilla's mobile web operating system.
Mozilla has already made available a
Firefox OS Simulator
to run from your web-browser and Firefox OS is available for tinkering with your own hardware, but now you can get a Firefox OS Developer Preview device.
This developer phone is being made by Geeksphone and Telefonica. The hardware for this developer/preview phone isn't too exciting. The phone comes down to a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S1, UMTS+GSM connectivity, 3.5-inch HVGA Multi-touch, 3 Megapixel Camera, 4GB ROM, 512MB RAM, MicroSD, and 1580 mAh battery. About the only desirable feature with this hardware is that the phone is fully unlocked. There's two phone models to be launched beginning next month with fairly similar specifications. Unfortunately, no pricing information has been revealed, but will likely come at a premium.
More details on the first Mozilla Firefox OS hardware can be found from
this Mozilla.org blog post
. Firefox OS prides itself on keeping the web open, being a simple OS with applications being written in HTML5/CSS/JavaScript/new-WebAPIs, and freedom by not locking users into vendor-controlled ecosystems.

SEOUL, South Korea Prosecutors say they've asked a court to issue an arrest warrant for the captain of the South Korean ferry that sank two days ago, leaving hundreds missing and feared dead.
Prosecutors said Friday that they have also requested arrest warrants for two other crewmembers.
The investigation into the ferry disaster has focused on the sharp turn it took just before it started listing and whether a quicker evacuation order by the captain could have saved lives. Investigators are also determining whether the captain abandoned the ship.
Rescuers are struggling to find about 270 people still missing and feared dead.
At least 28 bodies have been recovered. Officials said there were 179 survivors and about 270 people remain missing, many of them high school students.

Go Blazers?
Should I start caring about the NBA again? I heard some rumor that the Blazers might move to Seattle if the Sonics move to Oklahoma City. I suppose that I should cheer for them a bit before that happens, if only so I can build up a good head of outrage and curse the NBA for all of time…
So Why No Fortune at Japanese Restaurants?
It seems that the fortune cookie originated in late 19th century Japan:
There is one place where fortune cookies are conspicuously absent: China.
Now a researcher in Japan believes she can explain the disconnect, which has long perplexed American tourists in China. Fortune cookies, Yasuko Nakamachi says, are almost certainly originally from Japan.
Her prime pieces of evidence are the generations-old small family bakeries making obscure fortune cookie-shaped crackers by hand near a temple outside Kyoto. She has also turned up many references to the cookies in Japanese literature and history, including an 1878 image of a man making them in a bakery – decades before the first reports of American fortune cookies.
The idea that fortune cookies come from Japan is counterintuitive, to say the least. "I am surprised," said Derrick Wong, the vice president of the largest fortune cookie manufacturer in the world, Wonton Food, based in Brooklyn. "People see it and think of it as a Chinese food dessert, not a Japanese food dessert," he said.
Listen Here, Harvard Boy…
I trust that Yglesias is employing what the kids these days call "sarcasm"…
For instance, assaults increase by about 9% when a community hosts a college football game, vandalism increases by about 18%, and DUIs increase by about 13%. We also find evidence that upsets result in larger increases in crime than games that do not produce an upset. For instance, an upset loss at home is associated with a 112% increase in assaults and a 61% increase in vandalism. We discuss these results in the context of psychological theories of fan aggression.
Strange but, it seems, true.
…although you can never be sure with these Ivy League types. Anyway, the study falls firmly within a category I call "establishing the banal in a methodologically rigorous fashion", which seems to constitute about 85% of basic social science research.
For Kids, Life Means Life
Sentencing youthful offenders (that's kids who are convicted for crimes) to life incarceration violates virtually every human rights norm out there. According to Human Rights Watch, there are only 7 people outside the United States who were sentenced to life in prison while minors.
Wanna guess how many kids are currently locked up for life in California alone?
227. In one single solitary state.
For the U.S. as a whole, the number of people serving life without parole for offenses committed as minors is 2,225. According to an editorial in yesterday's LA Times (which is, I think, far surpassing its rival the NYT in terms of quality of opinion page content), not only have these kids received lifetime sentences for crimes they committed when they were under the age of 17, but they were also sentenced without the possibility of parole. Which means there is absolutely zero possibility that theyw ill leave prison alive.
As should not be surprising given the US's record of human rights violations through incarceration (and given the numbers quoted at the top of this post), we are an outlier on this issue. Waaaaaay outlier.
And it's yet further proof that the idea of prison as rehabilitation remains a cruel joke.
Progressives Created Camp Delta
Quite possibly the most backwards historical claim you'll read all day, from You Know Who:
The progressives believed in authoritarianism and out-of-control executive power precisely because they were progressives. And the story of American liberalism in the 20th century from Wilson to FDR and from FDR to LBJ and Richard Nixon (whom I consider basically an anti-Communist liberal) is the story of ever-expanding executive power. And, today's compassionate conservatives flirt with similar temptations.
Perhaps I missed something about the last seven years, but it seems to me that when George W. Bush spoke in 2000 of "compassionate conservatism," he wasn't offering vague promises to eradicate habeas rights, create lawless surveillance programs that deliberately evade Congressional or judicial oversight, or to effectively nullify legislation through executive signing statements. If Goldberg wants to call this proto-fascist, it's really his call, but there's certainly nothing "progressive" or "liberal" about it. Somehow, though, I don't think this is the problem with "compassionate conservatism" that Goldberg has in mind. Rather, he's probably thinking of folks like Mike Huckabee, whose absurd economic proposals have been inexplicably criticized as somehow "progressive" or "populist." For Goldberg, progressive tax structures — even when they aren't actually progressive at all — are indebted to "progressivism," which is of course "liberal," which is of course "fascist" and authoritarian.
That's the best I can figure.
As for his insistence that progressives like Wilson were authoritarians who sought ever-widening executive power, I don't even know where to begin. To the extent hat we can actually define progressivism in a coherent way, it's safe to say that American progressives, to the contrary, were primarily interested in making democratic institutions more — not less — responsive to the public interest. This accounts for the progressive interest in ballot referenda, recall votes for elected officials, direct election of US Senators, term limitations and civil service reforms, all of which were designed to bring more — not less — public influence to bear on the state. To the degree that progressives pursued "authoritarian" strategies and "executive" power, they did so primarily out of an interest in (a) curbing what they viewed as predatory corporate power that had made captives of legislative bodies; (b) mitigating the social conditions that might lead to the sorts of popular revolutions to which economically stratified industrial societies seemed especially prone throughout the 19th century.
To that latter end especially, progressives sought factory reform, labor laws, improved zoning ordinances, as well as investigative and punitive bodies that could deal with infractions. They also regarded public education as an appropriate instrument for asserting control over working-class (and non-Anglo) urban youth — but they did so not merely out of an aggressive desire to "assimilate" the children of the "foreign-born," but also out of a conviction that education was a means to redistribute social and economic opportunity. Progressives were also enthusiastic about the expansion and modernization of, say, municipal police forces, which they viewed as equally essential to the maintenance of the civic order — but they were also obsessed with the "professionalization" of law enforcement, which among other things meant that suspected criminals should not be tortured and held without charges or access to lawyers. To see any of this as mildly authoritarian is fine, but to link it to "out-of-control executive power" is just howlingly ignorant. The truly authoritarian solutions would have included the harassment, mass arrest and summary deportations of ideological "undesirables," as well as the creation of chauvinistic immigration laws that deliberately excluded Asians as well as the "Slavic" and "Mediterranean" races. All of these things happened, of course, after the "liberal fascist" Wilson was either incapacitated by a stroke or gone from office and feeding carbon to the soil.
All of this underscores a simple point that for the first time in my life allows me to say that Michael Ledeen is making sense. In Ledeen's unexpectedly brutal review of Goldberg's book he argues that Pantload, at the end of the day, doesn't know fuck-all about fascism. The same can be said for his observations about early 20th century American progressives.
That's right. Jonah Goldberg is so goddamned dumb that he makes Michael "Throw a Country Against a Wall for Democracy's Sake" Ledeen seem like a reasonably bright person.
Reproductive Freedom (And Its Enemies) Round-Up
And you also have states that not only practice abortion, but if Roe v. Wade is overturned, we haven't won the battle. All we've done is now we've created the logic of the Civil War, which says that the right to the human life is geographical, not moral. I think that's very problematic. That's why I think that people like Fred Thompson are dead wrong when he says just leave that up to the states. Well, that's again the logic of the Civil War – that slavery could be okay in Georgia but not okay in Massachusetts. Obviously we'd today say, "Well, that's nonsense. Slavery is wrong, period." It can't be right somewhere and wrong somewhere else. Same with abortion.
Leaving aside the gross offensiveness of the analogy, the thing is that Huckabee is right. The "leaving abortion to the states" position makes no sense given the moral stakes involved. If women have a fundamental right to control their reproductive destinies, this right should not vanish when they cross state lines. If the small minority of people who seriously think that the fetus is a human person ever create a social consensus to this effect, conversely, it would be ridiculous for abortion to be a serious violent offense in Alabama and not only legal but state-funded in New York (particularly because as long as abortion is available in some states some women from your state will take advantage.) Which is why virtually nobody actually believes that abortion should be "left to the states" (including, of course, Fred Thompson.)
Meanwhile, abortion rates are at their lowest level since 1975. It's important not to read too much into this data — it depends on a lot of factors — but it is true that abortion access in many states has been seriously compromised after Casey. as Melody Rose discusses here. (I reviewed her excellent book on the subject here.) I think one of the biggest issues in reproductive freedom is the availability of RU-486, which is the most promising way of addressing geographic disparities in abortion providers and arbitrary legal regulations.
Spinning For Rudy!
I see some of the passengers on Rudy!'s sinking boat are once again claiming that he didn't compete in any of the early states, and the authors of the article let this pass without comment. The main problem with this argument is that it isn't true. In fairness, I guess you can't expect his supporters to just tell the press "the more people see of NineEleven, the less they like him," but it wouldn't hurt for the reporter covering the story to point out little details like the large amount of time and money Giuliani spent in New Hampshire.
Cold Soup
When I see that someone has combined 1)the debate forum capability of usenet with 2)the High Broderite idea that we need to "come together" or some such expressed in the underused metaphor of "blue" and "red" states, I frankly don't understand why we haven't solved global warming when we're capable of such remarkable innovations.
Is intrade taking bets on the date that the whole site turns into a "Draft Donald Trump" organization?
And I Hear He Once Killed a Bear with His Bare Hands
David Petraeus and I wear the same running shoes, but the similarities end there. Runner's World, via Danger Room:
Today, he arrives for his workout at precisely 6:30 a.m., ready to hit the road in his New Balance 992s and an Army T-shirt. The subject quickly turns to running. "When we bring a new guy in, I take him out for a run," says Petraeus. "I'll go out hard, then ramp it up around five miles to try to waste him"… Of the 21 soldiers who began the 5.7-mile loop, only four (including Nordby and Martins) hang with Petraeus to the finish. He comes in at a pace under six minutes per mile, impressive for a guy with a metal plate in his pelvis and a gunshot wound on his chest (courtesy of a training accident).
I often force my graduate assistants to hold to a grueling 6 minutes per kilometer pace, sometimes for as long as two kilometers…
…comment of the day from Treb: "Please tell me he's wearing pants."
Cross of Gold
Stupid question here from someone whose knowledge of markets is roughly equivalent to his comprehension of particle physics:
Why, as I'm listening to right-wing radio — which I do more often than I care to admit — do I constantly hear advertisements urging me to sink my fortunes into gold? It's uncanny. I understand that gold prices have risen and the dollar is teh suck, but when I hear someone pitching gold on AM radio, I can't help but think I might as well be considering an investment in magic beans.

Trailblazer Award
IBAT honored
U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, with the IBAT Leadership Division
Trailblazer Award. Sen. Hutchison was presented the prestigious award during
IBAT's 38th Annual Convention, held at the downtown Hilton Austin Hotel.
Trailblazer Award provides special recognition to members of the Texas
Legislature and U.S. Congress who are especially supportive of the independent
community banking industry.
Hutchison has been a supporter and friend of IBAT and community bankers across
Texas since her time in the Texas Legislature," Chris Williston, president
and CEO of the Independent Bankers Association of Texas, said. "Her
continued advocacy for legislative policies that allow for the success of
community banks, especially during tough economic times, paired with her
exceptional leadership make her the ideal recipient of the Trailblazer Award.
Her work helps ensure that local money is invested in the local community, and
she is a defender of both Main Street Texas and Main Street America. She truly
is a trailblazer."
New Alliance
Last week,
Frost Bank and The Baker Group announced a new cooperative agreement.
Under the agreement, Frost Bank will refer its correspondent banks to The
Baker Group for asset/liability management services. In turn, The Baker Group
will refer clients to Frost for securities safekeeping.
"The Baker Group is thrilled to align with a respected banking partner
like Frost Bank," says David Daugherty, president and CEO, The Baker
Group. "We deal with hundreds of financial institutions, and there's no
regional bank more admired than Frost for its integrity, customer service and
strong advocacy on behalf of community banking."
Fraud Alert
Recent FBI
reporting indicates a new trend in which cyber criminal actors are using spam
and phishing emails, keystroke loggers, and Remote Access Trojans (RAT) to
compromise financial institution networks and obtain employee login
credentials. The stolen credentials were used to initiate unauthorized wire
transfers overseas. The wire transfer amounts have varied between $400,000 and
$900,000, and, in at least one case, the actor(s) raised the wire transfer
limit on the customer's account to allow for a larger transfer.
The actor(s)
primarily used spam and phishing emails to target their victims. Once
compromised, keyloggers and RATs installed on the financial institution
employee's computer provided the actor(s) with complete access to internal
networks and logins to third party systems.
The FBI has
provided a list of recommendations for community banks to
employ in order to protect themselves from these types of attacks.
Earlier this
year, IBAT Financial Services teamed up with CHUBB to host a webinar on the electronic risks faced by
community banks and some strategies for risk mitigation.

IBAT Leadership Division invites you to join your

APR Changes
IBAT joined
the Texas Land and Title Association, the Texas Mortgage Brokers Association, the
Texas Credit Union League and the Texas Bankers Association in a comment letter
opposing changes to the make up of the Annual Percentage Rate (APR). As
proposed, those changes would be detrimental to both community banks and the
consumers those banks serve. Additionally, the inclusion of non-lender costs
may very well result in a contraction of firms providing mortgage-related
services, especially in rural areas. To read the joint comment letter, click here.

Senior Housing Crime Prevention
is open for the Senior Housing Crime Prevention Foundation's 9th Annual Doing Well by Doing Good Bankers Conference, October 25-26, 2012 at the Mayflower Hotel in
Washington, D.C.
Earlier this
year, the IBAT Education Foundation began promoting the
SHCPF, which connects banks with area senior living facilities to connect them
to Senior Crimestoppers and install locked safes in resident rooms. In
addition to the positive impact made in the lives of seniors, the program has
also been approved for CRA by federal regulators.
The Doing Well by Doing Good
Bankers Conference serves to connect interested bankers with current
participants in the program. Keynote speaker Sandra Braunstein, Director of
Compliance Policy and Community Affairs for the Federal Reserve,
will discuss developments in CRA and what is on the horizon in the regulatory
arena. Bankers reveal best practices on how to prepare for your next CRA
examination, and the Foundation's current participating banks share ways they
have leveraged their nursing home sponsorships into productive business
opportunities and positive public relations events.
Community Support
Basel III Carve-Out?
Last week, 53
Senators, including Texas Senators John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison, signed
a letter urging federal regulators to consider the
unintended consequences of including community banks in the Basel III Capital
proposals. As always, IBAT extends our sincere thanks to our Texas Senators for
their continued support of community banking.
proposed capital rules are extremely complex and require the reporting and
maintaining of granular data, greatly increasing the compliance burden on
community banks," the letter noted. It went on to cite the
challenges that community banks would experience raising capital as a result of
Basel III, and offered the concern that community banks might have to change
their business plans in ways that would reduce lending and economic growth.
The comment
period for the Basel III Capital proposals ends on October 22. Please see IBAT's letter for assistance in writing your
personalized comment letters.
Leadership in Action
Though we're in the digital age, personal
recommendations still go a long way in business. Word-of-mouth referrals
account for a good portion of new customers for many small-business owners, and
the ease of making recommendations is only made simpler with email and social
networking. Incentivizing your current customers to refer their friends and
contacts can boost business. Here are a few ways you can get the most from
referral incentives. More
Basel III Calculator from FDIC
federal regulators released a tool for estimating the potential
impact on banks as a result of the Basel III capital rules.
The new
calculator-which is an Excel spreadsheet-has been pre-populated with bank data
from the June 30th call reports. As mentioned in previous weeks,
IBAT encourages all members to write customized comment letters on the
proposals before the October 22nd deadline.
For your
convenience, a link to the IBAT comment letter to federal regulators can be found here.

The deciding game is set.
The Franklin and Oak Creek baseball teams will meet for the third time on Saturday, and this time, the stakes are particularly high.
The Sabers and Knights will clash in a WIAA sectional championship game at South Milwaukee at 10:30 a.m., vying for a berth in next week's state tournament at Stevens Point.
They split two Greater Metro Conference games during the season and finished one-two in the regular-season standings. Franklin then claimed second place and Oak Creek third in the conference tournament.
The Sabers (25-7) advanced with an 11-2 victory over Greenfield on Friday evening.
Franklin pounded out 11 hits, led by Jake Penegor at 3-for-4 with one run batted in, Jay Dirienzo 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs and Marcus Schlemm 1-for-2 with a double and two RBIs.
Ian Malmstadt picked up the victory, working six innings and allowing five hits.
The Sabers scored four times in the first inning but were up only 4-2 going into the bottom of the fifth inning.
They tallied twice on a bunt single from Evan Kruczynski, a single to centerfield from Penegor, an error on another bunt and a run-scoring single from Joel Kornhoff.
Franklin then put away the game with five in the sixth, all after two outs. Penegor singled home one run and pinch-hitter Collin Bertram doubled home two more to highlight the rally.

Stop Abusing Your Dough
Biscuit dough is amazingly versatile—as long as you don't destroy it with too much fuss.
Biscuit dough is a wonderful thing, but it sells itself short. Virtually the exact same technique can be used to make biscuits, scones, cobbler topping, and shortcakes. Shouldn't the dough's name reflect its versatility?
In this video, Slate's food and drink editor shows you how to mix, knead, and cut out biscuit (et al.) dough

Related Strips: #294: Identity Crisis; #530: Outie 5000
First of three short-ish ones this week, if all things go according to plan. Come back WEDNESDAY. Or, y'know, don't and just come back on Thursday and Friday. Either way.
Yes, I know I'm recycling a punch line here (from #294, hence it being one of the Related Strips). But there's a reason. It's subtle, maybe. But there is a reason… which will be revealed soonish.
Let's have some fun. If you want to leave a comment for today's strip, go to Yahoo! Babel Fish and translate it into another language, then translate it BACK into English, and post that instead. (Sometimes to make it even more fun, you can phrase your initial sentence[s] awkwardly, just to throw Babel Fish a curveball.)

Scott Ian
Scott Ian vs. Lemmy Kilmister – President of Heavy Metal Election, Round 1
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian surely has a mass of wisdom to bestow onto us. As a founding member of Anthrax, Ian has been laying down the law in metal for more than 30 years. And with the band's latest album, 'Worship Music,' being universally praised by critics and fans alike, Ian has proven that he has staying power in the metal universe. And his beard is really cool, too!
Slayer's Kerry King + Anthrax's Scott Ian Share Dimebag Darrell Memories
Get Slayer's Kerry King and Anthrax's Scott Ian in front of a camera together, and all you have to do is get out of the way while two hard rock legends talk -- which is exactly what the producers at Fuse.tv did recently when King and Ian arrived in the studio to discuss their recent Metal Masters 4 concert.
What If Everyone Had Scott Ian's Beard?
For a long time, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian has sported one of metal's most celebrated beards. Once predominantly black, these days Ian has taken a more natural approach to the beard, allowing some gray into the mix. Ian's beard deserves a prominent spot in some sort of Rock and Roll Facial Hair Hall of Fame next to James Hetfield's goat-like chin-plant and Kerry King's whimsical bristles.
Scott Ian: 'This Will Be the Only Version of Anthrax Until There Is No Anthrax'
Anthrax have been on a hot streak after reuniting with singer Joey Belladonna in 2010. The band has since toured around the world, with high-profile slots on the Big Four concerts and the 2012 Mayhem Festival, along with releasing the critically acclaimed 2011 album 'Worship Music.' With the current lineup remaining strong, guitarist Scott Ian has declared, "This will be the only version of Anthrax until there is no Anthrax."

Thrash-masters Anthrax have been rocking their lethal moniker since the early '80s, but after the tragedy of 9/11 and the ensuing threats to public safety through acts of terrorism, their name was called into question by the mainstream media - the same major outlets who paid their then-last record no mind at the time.
Anthrax's Scott Ian Comments on Mayhem Cruise Cancellation
There were a lot of people not exactly happy when it was revealed that the inaugural Mayhem Cruise, which was scheduled for later this year, was canceled, and that goes beyond just those who had made arrangements to attend. Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian says the news was a bit of a surprise to him as well.

Billed as 'a spoken word performance series,' 'Rockstars Say the Funniest Things' will feature musical heavyweights Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver), Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Chris Jericho (Fozzy, WWE Wrestler).

November 23, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - McCarran airport in Las Vegas is second only to Miami in the amount of cash left behind by travelers emptying their pockets for security.
The Transportation Security Administration collected nearly $27,000 in unclaimed change at checkpoints last year. That was topped only by Miami International Airport's $40,000 haul.
Officials didn't speculate about whether the money has anything to do with people winning big at casinos.
TSA spokeswoman Lorie Dankers tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal the cash shows up because a relatively large portion of passengers start their journey at McCarran and are screened there, as opposed to passing through the airport unchecked for a transfer.
The TSA collected about $531,000 from all airports last year. Congress voted Tuesday that TSA should apply the money toward airport lounges for servicemembers.

First time using this service- they were on time, careful and did a great job!
This was our second experience using Bubbles for window washing and they did not disappoint! The guys were quick and efficient, and the windows are so clean that it looks almost like there is no glass at all. Highly recommended!
As advertised, this is our second time using Bubbles and once again they did a great job with minimal disruption of the house!
The team did a great job on our home. We have a high 3 story home with lots of windows. The team was effecient and performed a high quality job.
We have used Bubbles several times for both our gutters and our windows. They are always there when they say they will be, which is important to me. They do outstanding work for a reasonable price.
Bubbles was able to get our window cleeaning accomplished prior to Thanksgiving! Thanks so much!

Playlist: All things Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain quoted Neil Young's "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)" in his suicide letter, saying, "It's better to burn out than fade away."
Though it is hard to argue that the immortalized lead singer of Nirvana didn't burn out, Cobain's mark and influence on music even today shows no signs of fading away.
With the 20th anniversary of Cobain's death approaching and Nirvana's induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 10 around the corner, I have compiled a playlist of some of Cobain's best hits, intertwined with some music written about the poster boy of Seattle-grunge himself.
Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
<iframe src="https://embed.spotify.com/?uri=spotify:track:5ghIJDpPoe3CfHMGu71E6T" width="300" height="380" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>
OK. So Grohl has said that the song is about the common man, not anyone in particular. But with lines like "Don't the best of them bleed it out / While the rest of them peter out" it is hard to argue that Grohl wasn't thinking about his friend and former band member even a little.
Nirvana - "Aneurysm"
Much of the success of the Seattle grunge scene could be attributed to the creative liberties taken by artists in the genre. The beginning of "Aneurysm" does just that. The song has a catchy chord progression that sometimes disappears and is replaced by the scratchy howling of Cobain's signature "guitar strangle" - not to mention the song's shifts in time signature.
R.E.M. - "Let Me In"
Lead singer Michael Stipe was a good friend of Cobain's and wrote this song with R.E.M. as a tribute to the musician shortly after his death. Stipe had tried to reach out to Cobain days before his death, lending to the title and premise of the song.
Fun fact: Cobain was a big fan of R.E.M., and Courtney Love gave the band one of Cobain's guitars. Let Me In was recorded using that guitar - after lead bassist Mike Mills restrung the Fender Stratocaster to be played righty.
Nirvana - "Lithium"
I adamantly believe this is the perfect road trip song. Why? One, because the melody is catchy. And two, more importantly, anyone who doesn't know it can easily sing along. The lyrical genius was able to put lines like "I'm so happy because today/I've found my friends/They're in my head" with a chorus of "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Sometimes, less is more.
Foo Fighters - "Friend of a Friend"
Grohl wrote "Friend of a Friend" in 1990 when he first met Cobain and Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic. The song is about Grohl's first impression of his bandmates. The "friend's guitar" in the song is Cobain's. The somber tone, in retrospect, sounds very Cobain-esque - almost like "Something in the Way" - and its eerie touches definitely make the listener think about Cobain and his downfall.
Nirvana - "All Apologies"
Cobain is known for his catchy, simple guitar riffs, and "All Apologies," one of his most iconic songs, definitely illustrates this. He took seemingly unrelated phrases and linked them together in a beautiful poem while disguising the lyrics in the backdrop of an incredibly simple, yet complex riff.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Tearjerker"
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were close with Nirvana; the bands collaborated multiple times. "Tearjerker" appeared on the album One Hot Minute, which the band started recording just two months after Cobain's death. The song is about how lead singer Anthony Kiedis felt when he heard news of Cobain's death. Imbued with an unusually somber tone for the Peppers, if the lyrics don't pull tears out of you, the beautiful guitar solo from then-lead guitarist Dave Navarro will.
Nirvana - "About a Girl"
Cobain admitted that "About a Girl" was a major risk. He was a big fan of pop music, but the entire album Bleach was grunge. He wasn't sure how people would react to a pop-style song on Bleach. But this tune has become a Nirvana staple and, in my opinion, is even better unplugged.
Nirvana - "Drain You"
To be honest, this whole playlist could have just been the track list of Nevermind. But "Drain You" is an interesting song that is often overlooked, especially on such a packed album. The song sums up Nirvana perfectly. It features five guitar tracks dubbed over each other, all played by Cobain, which give it a dark grungy sound. The middle section of the song, which features a squeak toy - yes, a squeak toy - played by Cobain, sounds reminiscent of Nirvana's fellow grungers, Sonic Youth.
Neil Young - "Sleeps with Angels"
Like Stipe, Young tried to reach out to Cobain before his death. He wrote this song as a tribute to his late friend. The line "He sleeps with angels / too late / he sleeps with angels / too soon," is enough to understand the pain Young was going through.
Nirvana - "Heart-Shaped Box"
The intro riff is one of the band's most recognizable. Cobain spent years trying to complete the song. He struggled to find the right vocal melody to complement the odd guitar arrangement. He eventually did and created the enticing sound of this Billboard No. 1 hit.
For Squirrels - "Mighty K.C."
The relatively unknown band had one minor hit with "Mighty K.C." The band claimed to be influenced by R.E.M. and Nirvana and wrote the song as a tribute to Cobain shortly after his death. A month before the album featuring the song was released, two members of the band were killed in a car accident.
Nirvana - "Sliver"
A trip to grandma's house seems like the last thing a grunge band would decide to write a song about. But Cobain manages to take a plot of something seemingly unimportant and turn it into something powerful. It's another fun song to sing on a road trip with friends who don't know the song, considering the chorus, and most of the song, is Cobain shouting, "Grandma, take me home!"
Foo Fighters - "These Days"
In Aug. 2012, Grohl and the Foo Fighters played at the world-famous Reading Festival in England. Almost 20 years to the day, Nirvana had played one of their most iconic performances at the same festival. While playing the intro riff of "These Days," Grohl said, "I'd like to dedicate it to a couple of people who couldn't be here tonight. This one's for Krist, and this one's for Kurt." The song might not be about Cobain, but it definitely holds some significance for Grohl.
Nirvana - "The Man Who Sold the World"
Cobain played this David Bowie cover as part of Nirvana's unplugged performance, which aired on MTV four months before Cobain's death. The album of the performance was released after his death and received the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album. The emotion is evident not only in Cobain's voice, but also in his eyes during this legendary live performance.
