The 10 Best Nirvana Songs
Nirvana came to a sudden end 19 years ago this month when Kurt Cobain committed suicide. The group released only three studio albums, but they left behind tons of other material and a huge fan base that only seems to grow as the years go by. Next year they are eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and it's extremely likely they will get in on their first ballot. We asked our readers to vote on their favorite Nirvana songs. It got a huge response, and the top 10 goes way beyond the obvious hits. Click through to see the results.
10. 'Lounge Act'
The ninth song on Nevermind hardly sounds like the work of any traditional lounge act, but the group felt that Krist Novoselic's opening bass seemed like the kickoff to a lounge song. Instead, it leads into a Pixies-inspired song about a guy who feels torn between his girlfriend and his band. It was a dilemma that Cobain felt himself when the band's growing success caused tension with girlfriend Tracy Marander. The group couldn't come up with any way to end the song, so they merely slowed down the tape machine.
9. 'Sappy'
Kurt Cobain spent years fiddling with "Sappy," recording it over and over again between 1987 and 1993. He was never quite happy with it, though they ultimately released it as a bonus track on the 1993 AIDS relief compilation No Alternative. By this point it had been retitled "Verse Chorus Verse," but there's another Nirvana song with that title. It's caused much confusion over the years, so most Nirvana fans now refer to this as "Sappy." (Got all that?) Cobain never saw "Sappy" as a fully realized track, but the fans loved it and the band brought it back into their set list on their final tour in 1994.
8. 'In Bloom'
"In Bloom" paints a rather bleak portrait of a rock fan who "sell[s] the kids for food," "likes to shoot his gun" and "likes our pretty songs." The song was written before Nirvana attracted many yokels to their shows, but Cobain was already horrified at the idea of violent thugs taking pleasure in his songs. "In Bloom" was originally a hardcore punk song , but Cobain gave it a much softer edge before they cut it for Nevermind. In a fantastic bit of irony, it was a hit single, and it brought Nirvana many of the fans Cobain claimed to despise. They sang along with it every night, even if they didn't know what it means. To put it mildly, Cobain had complex feelings about fame and mainstream success.
7. 'Aneurysm'
Kurt Cobain's tumultuous relationship with Bikini Kill drummer Toby Vail inspired many of Nirvana's most emotional songs, including the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" b-side "Aneurysm." "Love you so much it makes me sick," he sings. "She keeps it pumpin' straight to my heart." Vail may have given Kurt an "aneurysm," but not long after this song came out he began dating Courtney Love. Despite appearing on no actual studio album, the song was a regular part of Nirvana's live show, and it's become a massive fan favorite.
6. 'All Apologies'
"All Apologies" originally appeared on In Utero, but the version everyone remembers was recorded in November of 1993 for Nirvana's MTV Unplugged album. Watching the performance after Cobain's death, it's hard to hear it as anything but a suicide note. "I wish I was like you," he sings to his huge global audience. "Easily amused." It ends with him repeating the line "all in all is all we are" 13 times.

Actions may speak louder than words, but numbers speak louder than actions--at least where getting C-suite buy-in is concerned. Hence the importance of measurement, metrics, accountability, quantifiable outcomes, analysis. No matter your preferred label, as a communications professional, you have surely been faced with the challenges (and opportunities) presented by the now-necessary fluency in "number speak." And, like many other executives, you may be neglecting market research, which forms the foundation of all measurement and which is required to make all subsequent efforts valid and high-impact. "Sadly, market research often doesn't fit at all into measurement and analysis efforts as far as communications professionals are concerned," says Mike Daniels, managing director, Report International.

|Reviews for The Secret Ingredient
| Anon chapter 1 . 9/18/2014
I liked the story - its very lighthearted, and it amuses me so much that for all of the careful plotting, he gets tripped up by something so natural (because "its just how everyone does it" is how we all learn family ways of doing, isn't it?).
And, it really, deeply amuses me that the way it's written, the secret ingredient is apparently the cinnamon. Not the ginseng or lime juice, or the secret spice mix of all of them, but the cinnamon (which isn't actually all that unusual). And while that sentence probably sounds nitpicky, I don't mean it to be... It just really made me laugh and wonder what cookie recipe would have cinnamon stand out among all of the ingredients listed.
| katiek121 chapter 1 . 1/7/2014
This was such a great story! Chris was always so careful not to say anything because of "future consequences" but he didn't even have to say anything to get caught by Piper. The idea of the secret ingredient was a clever way for then to find out.
| opelleam chapter 1 . 9/12/2013
Fluff and sweet, everything i like! thanks
| killing u with umbrellas chapter 1 . 3/16/2012
loved it.
| Secret Thought chapter 1 . 8/28/2011
I can't believe how many times i've read this story but I love it every time.
| Guest chapter 1 . 6/10/2011
This is a very unusual Chris revelation story. Everyone acts reasonably, there's a bit of "oh, I feel kinda bad" but no wallowing in guilt, angst or spitefulness; and there's an understandable bonding over mixed feelings about a mostly-absent father. I like it!
| WitchPencil chapter 1 . 8/28/2010
This was a really sweet revaluation fic. It had detail which some Chris rev's don't, and good description of emotions too. Very nice, Thank you for the good read!
Until next time,
| Kateya chapter 1 . 8/16/2010
Loved the out of the box thinking for Chris' slip. Just curious, is the recipe a real one or something you made up?
| Whirlwind421 chapter 1 . 6/24/2010
Great story!
| Stina Whatever chapter 1 . 5/14/2010
| mjm chapter 1 . 5/10/2010
Yay! I can totally see this happening. Chris was too careful about everything else but if he's the natural cook I always felt his character should be he'd definitely bake secret recipe cookies by accident. D
| Catnatural chapter 1 . 3/8/2010
Aw what a lovely story! D
| blueyblonde chapter 1 . 9/7/2009
i love it
| Reading4soul chapter 1 . 1/25/2009
Funny and sweet. Can't believe the secret ingredient gave him away. XD Much love for the Piper-Chris banter.

XDD I can't believe cookies gave him away! That is so original, different from all the other Chris revelation plots. I love it. XDD

Apple developing \'Automator\' Web siteApple is reportedly developing a Web site to help promote its upcoming Automator workflow application.
Apple Computer is in the process of developing a resource Web site for its forthcoming \"Automator\" personal automation assistant, sources close to the computer company tell AppleInsider.
The new Web site is expected to be ready for operation in early 2005, about the same time the company plans to launch its next-generation Mac OS X Tiger operating system, which features the new Automator application.
Using Automator, users can create step-by-step \"Workflow\" scripts that draw upon a library of actions. Workflows can accomplish tasks ranging from filtering and renaming a batch of images to creating customized Mac OS X Finder actions.
Similar to Apple\'s iCal Web site, sources expect the Automator site to include helpful user tips and a section where users can submit or share their Automator creations.
Although the site has yet to debut, sources say it\'s slated to appear at www.apple.com/automator/.
Work on the initial release of Automator continues this month, as Apple refines the application and finalize its user interface. With the most recent builds of the application, the company has removed all script actions associated with its AppleWorks office suite, but provided no explanation.
Automator 1.0, along with Mac OS X 10.4 \"Tiger,\" is set to debut in the first half of 2005, though unconfirmed reports have recently suggested Tiger could debut much earlier than previously anticipated.

How to do research on charities before you give
Natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy bring on a flood of phony charities. Before donating, you can find helpful facts online.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
If someone asks you to help with disaster relief efforts for Hurricane Sandy, make sure you're dealing with a bona fide charity.
The Better Business Bureau is warning about a hurricane of pitches for charitable donations in the wake of the massive storm. Some are fraudulent.
Never agree to donate by phone until you check out a charity yourself. And instead of succumbing to scam emails claiming to provide a link to a charity's relief page, go to the website on your own.
Thanks to the Canada Revenue Agency, it's easier than ever to find information about Canada's 85,000 registered charities. (They must be registered with the CRA to provide a tax receipt to donors.)
You can go to a searchable list of Canadian charities at the CRA's website.
Suppose you want to look up Oxfam Canada. According to the CRA listing, it's been a registered charity since 1967 in the welfare category. There's a link to its website.
To get more detailed information, you click the Registered Charity Information Return (or T3010 return). That takes you to a page with Oxfam Canada's annual returns, going from 2012 all the way back to 2000.
You can click the 2012 return to get a quick view of Oxfam's activities in 2012 . (The numbers below are rounded to one decimal point.)
• Total revenue: $31.7 million.
• Receipted donations: $9.12 million (29 per cent).
• Total expenses: $32.2 million
• Charitable program: $26.84 million (83 per cent).
• Management and administration: $2.5 million (8 per cent).
• Fundraising: $2.6 million (8 per cent).
• Total compensation for all positions: $6.3 million.
• Full-time employees: 98
• Highest compensated full-time positions: 5 at $120,000 to $159,999, 43 at $80,000 to $119,999, 12 at $40,000 to $78,999 and 38 at less than $40,000.
Here's another helpful resource. Imagine Canada, a registered charity, received help from the CRA to develop its Charity Focus website.
The goal is to give access to a charity's annual returns (which you find here) and other information provided by the charity itself.
"You can't evaluate charities just on the balance sheet," says Stephen Faul, communications vice-president at Imagine Canada. "The information added by the charities wouldn't be available elsewhere."
The Charity Focus website, which is less than a year old, still lacks supplementary details for many charities. But you can find a few that have stepped up to the challenge.
The YMCA of Greater Toronto gives potential donors a link to its strategic plan.
The CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) talks about its Facebook page, Twitter account and blog. Too bad there are no working links.
Imagine Canada's page says it was launched in 2005 after a merger between the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy and the Coalition of National Voluntary Organizations. It has links to charitable sector infographics.
In a Guide to Giving brochure, Imagine Canada gives tips on how to handle solicitations:
• If someone asking for a donation makes you feel uncomfortable, pressures you to give or promises more than seems realistic (such as a tax receipt for more than you give), just say no.
• Most charities must fundraise in order to operate, but they try to keep costs low. Reviewing a three-to-five-year average of fundraising costs can give you a better picture than a one-year report.
• The CRA may review a charity's costs if it uses more than 35 per cent of donations to raise the money. If a charity's costs exceed 70 per cent, the CRA will ask the charity for an explanation.
• Ask if a charity has signed on to the Association of Fundraising Professionals' code of ethics, which doesn't allow commission-based payments to fundraisers.
• Don't focus too much on administrative costs. Studies have found that lower administrative costs can limit the effectiveness of charities. Focus more on the impact that a charity is making in Canada and around the world.

Exploring What Consumers Say About Digital Content Brands
by Sherrill Mane on Jan 22, 10:55 AM
Digital media has been at the forefront of consumers' lives for some time now. We in marketing and media struggle with the challenges of measuring users, and how much and when digital media is being consumed, in order to measure the full media diet. Rarely do we collectively explore what content brands mean in today's constantly changing media landscape. We have not yet mapped the site content "brandscape," nor have we mined its value to advertisers. The IAB explored the contours of the consumer experience with content on sites belonging to media brands that originated in the analog world, as ...

When Choosing A Media Company, Take A Measured Approach
by Anto Chittilappilly on Jan 7, 10:54 AM
In the past, we all assumed the ability of a media supplier to generate ad results was the number-one factor marketers used to evaluate the media companies with whom they do business. But the results of recent survey by Advertiser Perceptions, Inc. revealed that "aggressive rate deals" are considered more important to typical marketers. Not surprisingly, the survey has fueled a lot of speculation about what's driving this shift. What's the reason for marketers favoring rate deals over results? It's not because they don't care about results and ROI, but because many don't have an accurate and trustworthy cross-channel measurement ...

Rooting for the Home Team
Even before Dubya had made the invasion official, fellow Texan Roger Clemens threw out the first broken-bat shard of the war-rhetoric season. As the featured speaker at a send-off for two Tampa-based units of the military police early last week, Clemens opined: "This is a time when you want to rally and get behind people. I wonder if all these people protesting, if anybody in that crowd, had anybody in that building, in either one of our twin towers, if they'd really be out there doing that."
"I can't believe that Roger Clemens would make that statement," says Rita Lasar of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, whose brother died in the north tower while aiding a wheelchair-bound co-worker. "I am a patriot, and I support the troops by saying 'Bring them home.' They are our treasure, and we should not waste them."
The Rocket's Hall-of-Fame talents as a chowderhead notwithstanding, there's a deeper issue here: Athletes who publicly back the war generally get a free ride from fans and media, compared with the boos and "keep politics out of sports" editorials heaped on college hoopsters like Manhattanville's Toni Smith and Virginia's Deidra Chatman, who dared turn away from the flag during the national anthem. (Chatman abandoned her protest after one game; Smith kept it up through the end of the season.)
Then there's Marco Lokar, the Seton Hall basketball player who was hounded off the team during Gulf War I for declining to wear an American flag patch on his uniform. (Lokar says he offered to don an Italian or UN patch, but was refused.) Now a U.S. history professor at the University of Trieste, Lokar has still not been back to the States in the 12 years since, remembering the death threatsincluding an envelope with a bullet in itthat chased him out the first time. "I would love toI have so many friends that I would like to see," he tells the Voice. "But I didn't feel comfortable psychologically to come back, after all that's happened."
Contrast this with pro-war athletes like Marlin pitchers Braden Looper and Doug Bochtler, who last week demanded that a Dixie Chicks song be pulled from their stadium's sound system, without attracting public outrage. Note to Jose Mesa: Next time you threaten to kill someone, make sure it's Saddam Hussein.

Forgotten Cocktail Club starts tomorrow
Local bartenders start a pop-up cocktail event.
By Jess Mayhugh. Posted on October 27, 2011
Classic cocktails seem to be making a comeback—and what more proof do you need than the start of a Forgotten Cocktail Club here in town. The idea behind the club, first developed by B&O Brasserie bar manager Brendan Dorr and Woodberry Kitchen bar manager Corey Polyoka, is to get drinkers out of their comfort zone and enjoy cocktails from the pre-Prohibition era.
"We want to do pseudo-Speakeasy-style stuff," says Dorr. "We're hoping to encourage people to try something they'd never normally order."
The inaugural event is tomorrow night at the downstairs bar of Maisy's from 7 p.m. until whenever the cocktails run out (Dorr's guess is around 1:30 a.m.) Dorr and Jon Blair (bartender at Ryleigh's Oyster and manager at Blackwater Distilling) will be creating 10 types of vintage concoctions, including a fizz, a punch, a take on a Singapore Sling, and a twist on a Manhattan. In true vintage style, the event is cash only.
The club is designed as a pop-up group, so Dorr recommends to follow the Facebook page for upcoming events.

Peter Bourjos to undergo season-ending wrist surgery
Sep 9, 2013, 10:15 AM EDT
As expected, the Angels announced that center fielder Peter Bourjos will miss the remainder of the season following wrist surgery.
Bourjos fractured his wrist on June 29 when he was hit by a pitch and spent nearly two months on the disabled list. He returned in mid-August, but went just 5-for-46 (.109) in 15 games before being shut down again last week.
According to William Boor of MLB.com the recovery timetable is expected to be around eight weeks, so Bourjos will have plenty of time to get healthy for spring training. He ends the season hitting .274 with a .710 OPS in 55 games.
- flamethrower101 - Sep 9, 2013 at 10:21 AM
Bourjos is basically all glove & legs w/ little bat. And to think there was such a hooplah earlier this year because the Angels decided to move their MVP Trout to LF and keep Bourjos in CF. I couldn't believe some of the arguments that I was hearing, that Trout was their MVP and therefore should be allowed to dictate where he plays. Oh, and another one about how Trout hits so well because he plays CF. What?
A better argument – and I'm sure this is one the Angels had – was that Bourjos was a far better CF than Trout, thus the change. Which I could buy. But Bourjos has had a hard time staying healthy the past 2 years and does not hit well at all.
- asimonetti88 - Sep 9, 2013 at 11:05 AM
Bourjos was hitting well prior to the injury. He was at .326/.385/.450 before getting hurt.
He has been hurt a lot though.
- km9000 - Sep 9, 2013 at 12:13 PM
Bourjos was probably their second best hitter during the second half. A lot of it was because of how badly everyone else was doing, but he really showed his potential.
Unfortunately Bourjos, and Trumbo, end up back in the off-season rumor mill, given how well Shuck and Calhoun have played.
As for Trout, I think he's shows he hits well regardless of his outfield spot, so hopefully that dies down at least.

Two years, on Arab Spring states awash with problems
Tunisians dismayedby political, economic paralysis, Egyptians divided more than ever, Libyans feel insecure.
Middle East Online
By Mokhtar Kahouli - SIDI BOUZID, Tunisia
Power struggle
Tunisians, already troubled by the rise of radical Islamists, are eyeing the political and economic paralysis gripping their country with a dismay shared across much of the region two years after the Arab Spring began.
In Sidi Bouzid -- the central town where Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire on December 17, 2010, an act of desperation that sparked Tunisia's uprising and touched off the Arab Spring -- celebrations are planned to mark the anniversary.
But reflecting the country's political divisions, part of the celebrations committee resigned in protest on Thursday, complaining of a "stranglehold" over the event by the ruling Islamist party Ennahda.
And an anti-government rally is expected on the day, by opposition activists angry at their leaders' failure to kickstart a recovery and improve living conditions.
Residents of the restive town are almost unanimous that nothing has changed since the ouster of dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011, with unemployment, a driving factor behind the uprising, continuing to plague the region.
"What revolution are you talking about? Nothing has changed here," laments Ezzedine Nasri, a street vendor like Bouazizi.
Nasri's wife, a university graduate, has been unable to find work since 2002.
Since coming to power in October 2011 after winning Tunisia's first free elections, the government has struggled to revive the economy and is accused, in particular, of turning a blind eye towards crimes allegedly committed by the Salafist movement.
The Salafists, hardline Islamists, have been implicated in numerous acts of violence this year, including against Sufi shrines and art galleries and an attack in September on the US embassy in Tunis that left four people dead.
As recently as Thursday night, presumed Salafists attacked a hotel in the town of Sbeitla and tried to set it on fire after sacking the lobby and destroying bottles of alcohol in the hotel bar, police and witnesses said.
Tunisia's Constituent Assembly has made little progress in drafting a new constitution and electoral law, with the process repeatedly hampered by differences between Islamists and secularists within the interim parliament.
Legislative and presidential elections have been postponed to June and could be pushed back further, contributing to the sense of uncertainty.
On Wednesday, Fitch Ratings cut Tunisia's credit rating by one notch to BB+, putting its debt in the speculative or so-called junk category, saying the country's "economic and political transition is proving longer and more difficult than anticipated."
In Egypt, President Mohamed Morsi's decree last month giving him near-absolute powers in a bid to push through a divisive new constitution has sparked weeks of rival protests by his Islamist followers and secular opponents.
Under mounting pressure, Morsi rescinded the decree at the weekend but is pushing through with a referendum this weekend on the constitution, which the opposition is urging its supporters to reject, claiming it undermines fundamental human rights and could lead to a strong Islamist influence on future legislation.
Fears of violence are running high after clashes in Cairo last week in which eight people were killed and more than 600 injured.
Earlier this week, the IMF put on hold a $4.8-billion loan Egypt has sought to fill budget gaps it will face in the 2013-2014 fiscal year, after the government asked for a delay in the negotiations because of the political situation.
In Libya, the authorities managed to organise general elections in July and have restored oil production levels, but security has proven the biggest challenge facing the government since the ouster of dictator Moamer Gathafi last year.
Eight months of armed conflict left daunting challenges for the transitional authorities, who are struggling to build up state institutions and rein in the militias that were the backbone of the anti-Gathafi war.
Libya's economy has made a swift recovery.
But the country is awash with weapons and extremist groups remain a serious threat, as illustrated by the September 11 assault on the US consulate in Benghazi, in which US Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed.
