In recent articles I've mentioned farms that deliver fresh produce to your doorstep, milk delivery services, and also a company that will pick up your compost so you don't have to manage it yourself.
What if there was an organization providing all of the above as well as local brews, wines, meats, cheeses and even oysters? Meet Arganica.
Arganica Farm Club allows you to sign up for various subscriptions and doesn't lock you into weekly deliveries. You can choose from a local or organic crate of in-season vegetables and fruits or take your pick from the large grocery posted on their site, from vegetables to bacon, cheeses and honey.
Each item listing includes where it's from, if it's organic or has been sprayed, and how it's packaged. Ordering with Arganica requires a minimum of $25. There's no delivery fees and each member is charged on the date of delivery. Membership plans range from a one-year plan for $250 to a one-month plan for $30.
Deliveries in the DC and Baltimore areas arrive on Thursdays or Sundays in wooden crates. If you're so inclined you can put out your empty crate on the day of delivery along with your compost for the week. They'll whisk it away for you when they bring your next delivery.
Jessica Schneidman, sourcing director for Arganica, is especially proud of the local beers and wines they have to offer. Each week they're working with different producers to offer great local ingredients and beverages.
If your drink of choice is creamy and opaque, the farm club's milk share program offers both natural and organic milk in glass jars, which can also be recycled through the program.
Have more questions? The Arganica website is incredibly informative although if you're anything like me they have a gracious member services staff who can be reached at 434.979.0480.
Laura Sears is a personal chef, cooking instructor and food writer following her love of cooking and writing after a career in various business jobs. Born and raised in Ohio, she is both molded by those roots and the ones she grew as an early adult in Santa Barbara, Calif. Her love for local, seasonal food blossomed there as did her desire to garden each opportunity she got.
Living in DC has been a recent change though she is encouraged by the number of farmers markets and local suppliers of meat and dairy. You can follow her on her personal blog LB's Good Spoon that was created in 2008 after several friends kept asking her what she had cooked up recently!
I was really excited about this until I read the reviews on Yelp! Maybe a follow-up article could focus on some of these perceived service issues and what the company is doing to improve things. I'm also curious whether the author of this post tried Arganica anonymously before writing this article and recommending it. I hope she did and that this is not a PR piece posing as an independent endorsement on one of my favorite food blogs.
Hi anon: To address your concerns, you're not going to find PR pieces posing as articles on Metrocurean ever. This isn't meant to be a review of Arganica, but a reported story about the service to let readers know it's out there. I enjoyed some oysters at a good friend's house just the other day who is a subscriber and big fan, as are several other friends.
You forget to mention the monthly membership fee. This can be thought of as a delivery fee.
Editing oversight on the membership fees. My apologies! It's been updated.

Youth mental health on the decline in Latvia, says expert
Photo: andranik.h90/Freepik stock pictures
june 1, 2022, 10:18
Authors: Eng.LSM.lv (Latvian Public Broadcasting), "Rīta Panorāma" (Latvian Television)
Data from the Teenage Resources Center (PRC) show that teens' mental health continues to deteriorate. Since the beginning of 2021, the number of teens turning to the PRC for help has nearly doubled, PRC representative Romija Krēziņa told Latvian Television on June 1.
The PRC provides assistance to teens and their relatives but also stresses the important role of schools and families in supporting teens.
An increasing number of young people cannot or have great difficulty in carrying out the day-to-day activities that would normally be expected of them. For example, a teenager often misses or doesn't attend school and is almost completely isolated from friends. At the moment, every third client of the PRC already receives a psychiatrist's service.
In the first four months of this year, there were twice more teens hospitalized due to mental health issues than in 2021 throughout the whole year.
Statistics from the Center show that demand for assistance, also as summer approaches, has not dwindled and 519 teens are waiting in line for help, according to Krēziņa. At the beginning of summer holidays, it would be important for industry professionals and national and local authorities to plan support measures that could improve the mental health of teens, said the expert.

Siang basin impact study inadequate
AJIT PATOWARY
GUWAHATI, Feb 20 – The cumulative impact assessment (CIA) study conducted by the Central Water Commission (CWC) and the RS Envirolink Technologies Pvt Ltd on the Siang Basin is inadequate, alleged the environment group South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers & People (SANDRP).
It alleged that the study has not mentioned the social and cultural impacts of the proposed project, nor has it mentioned the downstream impacts of the project on Assam areas in detail.
It needs mention here that 44 hydel projects are proposed on the Siang and together they will have an installed capacity of 18,293 MW. Of these projects, Upper Siang Stage-I, with an installed capacity of 6,000 MW, Upper Siang Stage-II with an installed capacity of 3,750 MW and the Lower Siang project with an installed capacity of 2,700 MW-are the largest ones.
SANDRP said Upper Siang Stage-I and II and Lower Siang are huge projects with direct impact on the downstream State (Assam). Even as issues of dam safety and risk assessment have gained high significance in Assam, as can be seen in the Lower Subansiri protests, the basin study/CIA does not include a word on dam safety, cumulative risk assessment, risk of landslips and landslides, seismic zones of projects, past earthquakes in the region, possible mitigation measures, disaster management, etc.
There is no assessment of baseline situation about disaster vulnerability of the region and how the projects will change that, said the environment group.
Further, it said the study has not done the cumulative disaster vulnerability, impact of project on such vulnerabilities, dam safety assessment and risk assessment.
The cumulative impacts of the project on several aspects have also not been assessed by the study, it said.
The critical recommendations made by the Expert Appraisal Committee on the River Valley Projects of the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), like making it compatible with the similar studies done worldwide, suggestions about ramping to reduce downstream impacts, recommendation on free flowing length between two projects, cumulative impact on sediment regime, impact of road construction, etc, are not complied with.
The study has also failed to mention anything about climate change, reservoir emissions vis-a-vis cumulative impacts of such a massive scale, and how the projects would affect the adaptation capacity of the communities in the region in the context of climate change, said the SANDRP.
It, therefore, urged the EAC not to finalise the study without credible public consultations across the basin.

We're Helping Aspiring Americans Reach Financial Inclusion
09/22/2015 10:13 am ET Updated Sep 22, 2016
During National Citizenship Day, the nation commemorates those who have become, or are in the process of becoming, U.S. citizens. But the reality of the current path to citizenship isn't always consistent with the celebratory tone of this commemoration. For too many individuals, the path to citizenship is a difficult process, and an individual's ability to pay their application fee can be both a daunting and prohibitive factor.
The application cost alone ballooned 610 percent between 1998 and 2008, to $680. But an applicant's expenses don't stop at the application fee; immigrants pursuing the American Dream have additional expenses for English classes, civics preparation and legal filing assistance, all of which can add hundreds or even thousands of dollars to the process. The snowballing expenses are virtually impossible for low-income legal permanent residents and families who may have multiple members applying to afford.
While the Department of Homeland Security has fee waivers in place for low-income immigrants, many people do not qualify. Too often, Latino families must decide between stretching their application process out over months or even years until they have saved enough money, or turning to quick (and often predatory) loans if their situation is time-sensitive. In addition, the lack of financial education and information about safe, affordable loan products leaves legal permanent residents vulnerable to financial instability just as they are starting this new chapter. According to NCLR's Banking in Color research, 56% of U.S. citizens reported having both a checking and savings account, while only 33% of noncitizens had both. And only 24 percent of noncitizens knew their credit score, compared to 40 percent of citizens.
To address these barriers, NCLR and its Affiliates, with support from Citi and the Citi Foundation, have developed an initiative that combines financial capability with immigration legal services. This national initiative enables citizenship applicants to overcome financial barriers and enter the financial mainstream. The program links two proven concepts--naturalization application assistance and financial coaching. Legal permanent residents receive both citizenship application assistance and financial coaching on household budgeting and savings, credit and how to build and maintain good credit, and savings or loan products that can help them cover the cost of the application.
Citizenship is an asset that greatly enhances the lives of both the immigrants who go through the naturalization process and the communities in which they live. On a macro level, NCLR calculates that if all 8.8 million eligible legal permanent residents naturalized, U.S. Gross National Product would increase by an estimated $25 billion. For individuals, research from the University of Southern California and others indicates that naturalized immigrants can realize an 11 percent boost in personal income once they've become citizens.
The participants in the NCLR Affiliate program see firsthand the economic benefits of an integrated services approach. David Angulo, originally from El Salvador, received information about budgeting, saving, and credit as part of his ESL classes at our Affiliate, Hispanic Unity. While preparing for citizenship, he went to one-on-one coaching sessions for help removing errors on his credit report and opening a money market account to save for a house. Mr. Angulo became an American citizen on December 19, 2014, and hopes to save enough by the end of 2015 for a down payment on his first home.
Financial capability services through trusted community institutions like NCLR Affiliates helps legal permanent residents begin their journey toward the American Dream--citizenship, prosperity, success, and economic security. Let this National Citizenship Day be a call to action to support policies, programs, and people who help aspiring Americans enter U.S. citizenship on strong financial footing.

The fake awards costs of the individual and his team called "Faction" — $1,000. "A young and anonymous entrepreneur" helped fund the purpose of the group, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
While the artist claimed that the gathering of the stars "could last for 10 years" if no one decided to remove them, a representative of Ripley's Believe It or Not! told the outlet that they were taken by a concern that the vandalism would happen.
"Not only would the star be destroyed, but it would damage our property," the employee said.

Meet Thanh Tan: 2001/2002/2003 Northwest Journalists of Color Scholarship Recipient
aaja seattle Scholarship Winners
We're profiling where Northwest Journalists of Color scholarship recipients are now and what advice they have to pass along to other aspiring journalists in Washington state. Know a talented student journalist who should apply? Check out all our 2018 scholarship and internship opportunities here. Applications are due March 23, 2018.
Thanh Tan, communications manager, Microsoft
What is your current job?
I'm a senior communications manager for Microsoft Public Affairs, creating content and telling stories that humanize our policy positions and our mission to empower every person on the planet to achieve more. I'm also the host and creator of a podcast from KUOW and PRX called Second Wave, which follows my journey to understand Vietnamese-American experiences more than 40 years after the Vietnam War.
Prior to these dream gigs, I worked for 12 years in journalism as a multimedia reporter, producer, host, and writer for KBCI-TV, KATU-TV, Idaho Public Television, The Texas Tribune and The Seattle Times Editorial Board. I also contributed to The New York Times and This American Life.
How did the NJC Scholarship help you reach your journalism goals?
The support from NJC gave me the encouragement and motivation I needed to know that there was a place for a daughter of first-generation immigrants to pursue an unconventional path in journalism. The NJC Scholarship exposed me to different Seattle newsrooms and professionals who would go on to guide me through an exciting – and unpredictable!– journey.
Practically speaking, NJC's financial support over three years offset the cost of a private education that also required purchasing a lengthy list of very expensive books! Aside from my BA in Broadcast Journalism, I picked up a second degree in International Relations that helped provide me with critical and analytical skills to pursue a career that was largely focused on political journalism. Thanks to NJC for believing in my potential from the start.
What advice do you have to other students who want to succeed in journalism?
Stay curious and open to learning and presenting different storytelling approaches across different platforms. While the media is undergoing major disruption, the fundamentals of journalism remain the same– report the facts and seek out the best version of truth you can find, develop strong relationships with your editors so they can challenge you and hold you accountable, and respect your intended audience by learning to adapt large amounts of data and information into a simple story that resonates with people.
Don't just talk. DO THE WORK, even if it sucks at first. You have to start somewhere. And remember there's strength in numbers– try to surround yourself with collaborators who share the same values and passion for storytelling.

Kong, X., Luo, Z. and Dong, H. (2017). Establishment of New Split-root System by Grafting. Bio-protocol 7(4): e2136. DOI: 10.21769/BioProtoc.2136.
A new split-root system was used to simulate non-uniform salt, drought or nutrient deficiency stress in the root zone, in which the root system was divided into two or more equal portions. Here, we established a split-root system by grafting of cotton seedlings. In contrast to the conventional split-root, the main roots of the new system remained intact, which provided a better system for studying cotton response to unequal treatment in the root zone. The new system was suitable for plant growth in nutrient solution and the two root systems can fully be immerged in the nutrient solution.
The split-root system has been used to study plant responses to heterogeneous soil conditions such as partial root drying, unequal salt distribution, and heterogeneous nutrient distribution. The conventional split-root system in cotton and other plants are established by dividing the lateral roots into two equal parts after cutting of the main root of a seedling (Bazihizina et al., 2009; Dong et al., 2010). The new system was suitable for plant growth in nutrient solution and for a girdling experiment because there was sufficient distance between the root and position of the graft (Kong et al., 2012 and 2016).
Treat cotton seeds with concentrated sulfuric acid for 2-3 min and then wash the seeds with flowing tap water for 6 times.
After that, the wet seeds are dried in a hot air stream (50 °C) for 8 h.
Sow the acid-delinted seeds at approximately 3 cm depth in plastic boxes (60 x 45 x 15 cm) containing sterilized wet sand.
Place the boxes in a growth chamber with light/dark regimes of 16 h/8 h, light intensity of 400 µmol m-2 sec-1 PAR, and temperature of 28-32 °C and relative humidity of 60-70%.
Thin the seedlings to 100 plants per box at full emergence at 10 days after planting.
When most seedlings reach the 2-true leaf stage (Figure 1-1) at 15 days after planting, carefully pull the uniform seedlings (the seedlings which germinate at the same day and have same plant height, leaf number and leaf area) out from the sand and wash the seedlings with water to remove all the sand.
Note: Don't irrigate the seedlings for about 3 days before grafting in order to remove the seedlings easily and induce root growth.
Establish split-root systems through grafting with seedlings (Figure 1). Briefly, make a '/' shaped incision with a blade on the hypocotyl 2 cm below the two cotyledons, leaving about 1/3 of the hypocotyl tissues intact. The angle between the '/' shaped incision and the hypocotyl is about 60°.
Cut the top of the rootstock to form a deep 'ʌ' at the same position of the hypocotyl from another seedling. The 'ʌ' section is then inserted into the '/' incision of the plant and closely wrap the seedlings with Parafilm.
Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the sequential steps of the graft split-root system. 1. Scion; 2. Stock; 3 and 4. Grafted cotton.
Transfer grafted seedlings into disposable cups containing aerated nutrient solution, spray the seedlings with water and immediately cover them with plastic bags to prevent wilting (Figure 2). The air is introduced into the nutrient solution by the aeration instrument to maintaining oxygen concentration in the nutrient solution.
We top the nutrient solution with deionized water every day instead of changing the whole nutrient solution, as the grafted seedling uptake a little water and nutrient each day.
When a new leaf emerged from the grafted seedling at one week after grafting, remove the plastic bags and Parafilm (Figure 3).
Transfer the grafted seedlings with two uniform split-root systems into a growth chamber under 28-32 °C and 60-70% relative humidity for 20 days.
Renew the nutrient solutions daily during the period of growth.
The survival rate of grafted seedlings was more than 95% and most of them had two uniform root systems (kong et al., 2012) (Figure 4). A successfully grafted cotton seedling has two uniform root systems. At this stage, the seedling which was used as scion becomes indistinguishable from the stock.

Uniformly germinated seeds and seedling were selected to make sure the grated seedlings had two uniform split-root systems.
Note: The nutrient solutions used in this experiment needn't be sterilized. It can be made in advance and stored at 4 °C for one month.

Fur out, ethical fashion in.
In recent months, a growing number luxury fashion houses like Gucci and Michael Kors have announced a commitment to more ethical fashion practices. On Friday, Maison Margiela shared that after designer John Galliano's meeting with PETA, the brand would go fur free, joining the ranks of brands like Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Tommy Hilfiger and more who have long eliminated fur from their collections.
This new wave of major brands championing sustainable fashion marks a great leap forward for fashion, so for consumers looking to shop more consciously and fur-free, we've compiled a list of designers who have joined in on the movement.
Just in time for Christmas, Michael Kors revealed that the brand will ban all use of fur and pledged to be completely fur-free by the end of 2018.
Michael Kors' fur-free pledge applied to Jimmy Choo as well, which was acquired by Michael Kors in a $1.2 billion deal in July 2017.
In March 2017, Donatella Versace told 1843 magazine that her namesake brand will stop using fur by 2019. Why? "Fur? I am out of that. I don't want to kill animals to make fashion. It doesn't feel right."
Donna Karan committed to promoting a cruelty-free brand earlier in March and the policy will go into effect by 2019.
Maison Margiela creative director John Galliano had a meeting with PETA, which resulted in Galliano's addition to the swelling number of high-end fashion labels opting against the use of fur in future collections.
Calvin Klein has been fur-free since 1994.
Since the brand's conception in 2001, Stella McCartney has made it her duty to create a leather-free, fur-free clothing brand.
2007 was the year many brands made the switch to go fur-free. Hilfiger used fur mostly on the collars and cuffs of his pieces and after a conversation with PETA, announced that any further production of fur items would end immediately.
After teaming up with the Humane Society of the United States, Giorgio Armani and the seven other labels under the Armani Group would no longer produce clothing pieces with fur beginning with the Fall 2016 collection. "Technological progress made over the years allows us to have valid alternatives at our disposition that render the use of cruel practices unnecessary as regards animals," the brand said in a statement to WWD. "Pursuing the positive process undertaken long ago, my company is now taking a major step ahead, reflecting our attention to the critical issues of protecting and caring for the environment and animals."
The Humane Society of the United States has buit relationships with a number of designer companies and encouraged many designers to ban fur from their lines. Yoox Net-a-Porter finally caved and announced in June 2017 that the company's clothing brands (Mr. Porter, The Outnet, Net-a-Porter) would be officially going fur-free.
In 2006, Ralph Lauren pledged to eliminate fur altogether, including all merchandise and home offerings. In addition to going fur-free, the brand announced it would donated 1,200 clothing pieces with fur to international relief initiatives.
Vivienne Westwood joined the club in 2007 after a chat with PETA.
PETA encouraged cult brand The Kooples to adopt a more cruelty-free approach so The Kooples dropped fur from their future collections, beginning with the fall 2017 range and created a clutch in honor of their new policy.
A year after having a talk with The Humane Society of the United States, Hugo Boss vowed to stop using fur by its fall 2016 collection.

...but quite a bit is lost in the translation. It looks like this:

So as you can see, my border has disappeared, the HRs are fainter than a narcoleptic on a lazy boy, and the html table is a complete mess.
But why, and how can I fix it? Why does my standalone html page fail to render non-uglily, even though I'm referencing the Bootstrap classes which the page uses?
UPDATE
Thanks to stackingjasoncooper's comment, I got the table looking better by adding this CSS:
table {
    font-family: arial, sans-serif;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    width: 100%;
}

td, th {
    border: 1px solid #dddddd;
    text-align: left;
    padding: 8px;
}

tr:nth-child(even) {
    background-color: #dddddd;
}

UPDATE 2
Adding these helped, too:
hr {
    border: 0;
    height: 1px;
    color: navy;
    background: #333;
}
.body-content {
    -webkit-box-shadow: -1px 0 5px 0 #000000;
    -webkit-box-shadow: -1px 0 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .25);
    box-shadow: -1px 0 5px 0 #000000;
    box-shadow: -1px 0 5px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, .5);
   padding-left: 1px;
   padding-right: 1px;
   padding-bottom: 15px;
}

UPDATE 3
Okay, this is the final thing I needed to add: _Layout.cshtml contains this in the head section:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

...and this in the body:

    @RenderBody()

...so I added the first to the head (don't know if it's necessary, but it doesn't hurt anything), and the div as the first one inside the body section, and it looks exactly the same now.

A: Why your standalone page doesn't match your .NET page
You're still missing some CSS. For example, Bootstrap won't set alternating table row colors without calling a class, which you're not doing. The alternating row colors are not in your styles in your  either. Check your .NET app's head component or view source in your browser of that .NET page and look for additional stylesheets.
Regarding your updates:
Viewport tag
The viewport meta tag helps scale your website for different screen sizes, like tablets and phones. With the very standard version you have, you're basically saying scale the website to fit the screen.
@RenderBody()
I think this is a .NET control. I don't think it will have any effect on an HTML page, so I don't think you need it.
Bootstrap is awesome
You're using the Bootstrap framework, which has a lot of the CSS styles you're writing already built in. For example, check out the Bootstrap table styles. They're already done and available; you just have to call the classes. Have fun with it!


Co3O4 polyhedra were well encapsulated in reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets by in situ growth of Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) polyhedra in the presence of graphene oxide followed by thermal annealing. The resultant rGO/Co3O4 composites consist of a continuously-conductive double-network constructed from graphene sheets and the derived N-doped carbons from ZIF-67, showing a large specific surface area of 523 m2 g−1. The as-fabricated symmetrical supercapacitor based on rGO/Co3O4 exhibits a high specific capacitance of 277.5 F g−1 at 25 A g−1 and an energy density of 24.7 W h kg−1 at a power density of up to 40 kW kg−1. The supercapacitor also retains 87.5% of the initial capacitance over 5000 cycles at 5 A g−1. Such large capacitance, high energy density, and excellent cycling stability for rGO/Co3O4 are attributable to the 3D double conductive network from 2D graphene sheets and porous channels of pseudo-capacitive Co3O4 polyhedra.


Breakfast desserts are a wonderful venue for experimentation. With this treat I took some morning time favorites and reframed them with an eye toward the tart/pie family. The crust is an oatmeal crumble, the body a tremble of yogurt set with gelatin, and the top is crowned in fruit. A joy eaten in the morning and a secret eaten at night, this tart will become a staple in your repertoire once you've tried it. Any fruit on top will do, I swap it out as the seasons shift. My new favorite? Fillets of mango spiraled around the yogurt.
Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch pie dish with a circle of parchment paper.
In a small bowl mix the ingredients for the crust with your hands. Squeeze and massage the mixture until there are no visible clumps.
Press the crust into your pie dish and up the sides. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until it is just starting to brown around the edges. Remove it from the oven and let it cool.
While the crust is baking slice the peaches into small wedges. Stir them with the maple syrup and cardamom, then spill them into a roasting pan.
Roast the peaches in your already warm oven for 20-25 minutes, until they're just showing some color and slightly withered. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool.
While the crust and peaches are cooling, pour the gelatin over the water in a shallow bowl and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
In a large saucepan whisk the yoghurt, lemon, vanilla, salt and honey over medium heat. When it is quite warm to the touch, turn off the heat.
Pour the gelatin into the yoghurt mixture and whisk until it is completely dissolved.
Pour the yoghurt mixture into the pie dish, into the crust.
Arrange the peaches on top however you like (scattered or spiralled).
Put the dish in your refrigerator at least 3 hours, or overnight, to set.

Paulson: Volcker rule is unnecessary
Former US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said at a conference last week that he does not support the Volcker rule, nor does he believe it would have saved any failed banks during the financial crisis.
Jennifer Harris
Former US Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said during a speech at a conference in Miami last week that he believes the Volcker rule, which would ban US banks from investing deposits in private equity and real estate operations, is a bad idea.
Paulson said that if the Volcker rule had been in place before the financial crisis, it wouldn't have saved any of the major investment banks that failed or had to be acquired with government assistance.
He also said proprietary trading usually originates from a client transaction, and that hampering proprietary trading could thus unintentionally hurt clients.
"I think you get yourself into trouble when you single out any one type of activity," he said.
Paulson said that the creation of a systemic risk regulator would make the Volcker rule unnecessary, because the risk regulator could identify and prohibit any type of trading that was deemed to be a threat to the stability of the overall economy.
Former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker developed the rule, which would force US banks to choose between running private equity and private equity real estate operations and taking deposits. The rule is being debated by members of Congress as they craft a financial regulatory reform bill.
Paulson's views are held by many Republican members of Congress. Senator Richard Shelby – the banking committee's top Republican – has said the Volcker rule wouldn't have applied to investment banks Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns, both of which sponsored private equity and private equity real estate funds and failed during the crisis. Lehman and Bear Stearns were seen as the catalysts of the credit crisis, yet Shelby said such institutions would not be affected by the Volcker Rule.
Responding to one challenge, Volcker told lawmakers in February that if speculative activity was allowed to continue at its current pace, "I may not live long enough to see the [next] crisis, but my soul is going to come back and haunt you".
However, banking committee chairman Senator Chris Dodd has said he supports the proposals, which in his mind "make sense". He cautioned though that questions remained over how the policies could work in practice.
Paulson was Treasury Secretary during the presidency of George W. Bush, and engineered the bailouts of AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. He was previously the CEO and chairman of Goldman Sachs.

As we're taking care of our new baby over the next few months, get ready for some easy recipes. Here is one that could NOT be easier. A tropical smoothie. Throw ingredients into a blender, blend, pour into glasses, enjoy. Luckily, it's also delicious.
For our baby shower a few months ago, we had pineapples for decor. I loved the idea of this, because I knew after the shower, we could cut them up and freeze them. And we did! Josh made a pineapple sorbet (yum!) with one of the pineapples, but the others are in the freezer, just waiting for smoothie-making days.
Happy Friday! I don't know about you, but I am so glad the weekend is almost here. I caught a cold last weekend, and I've spent most of this week feeling rotten. I'm feeling a lot better, and I'm excited to rest and relax this weekend and just enjoy not being sick!
I will say, when I'm sick, I do try to get as many vitamins as possible, hoping it will speed the cold along. And I absolutely adore smoothies for that purpose. Being able to pack those antioxidants and vitamin c in is perfect! Lately, I've been seeing more and more photos of smoothie bowls, and now that I've tried it? I'm sold. It's all the deliciousness of a smoothie with toppings!

probably already a thread, but I can't be bothered to search.. sorry...
kurt cobain is my favorite musician other than john lennon and damon albarn
currently listening to NEVERMIND.. need a break from HUMANZ.. been listening all day.
any fans?
Re: NIRVANA
Yes... I've always been a major Nirvana fan. My favorite c.d. has always been "In Utero" with "Nevermind" as a not too distant 2nd..... Kurt was headed in the right direction w/"In Utero" (will expanding their sound) and it's obviously always unfortunate we never know what might have been.....
"You Know You're Right" suggested though that Kurt was ready to embrace a more definitive heavier sound which most Grunge bands began to flirt with a couple of years later when Grunge was waning.
Obviously "Unplugged" was brilliant ("About A Girl" was my fave track off there) and "From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah" to me was a must-have back them perfectly capturing them live.
I would also rank "Sappy" and "Verse Chorus Verse" among my two favorite obscure songs by them...... Sorry I could go on and on about Nirvana all day! Plus, there's a heavy Lennon influence on Kurt....Especially you can sense a lot of "Plastic Ono Band" in his arrangements.....
totally agree. verse chorus verse is such a gem. OLD AGE is another amazing song.
i grew up on 'with the lights out collection' that's how i got to know nirvana. the dvd of them jamming in the basement when they weren't really known made me want to be in band.
something we will never know is what type of album would come after In Utero. In my opinion it was the perfect amount of heavy.. Bleach was pretty heavy due to it's clear heavy metal and hard core punk riffs. I read something that Kurt was getting bored of the whole Guitar, Bass and Drum formula. after reading that it always made me wonder if if a 4th album would be experimental.
but i go back and force deciding whether nevermind is the best or is it in utereo? Nevermind is perfect in everyway. A perfect synergy of lennon esque melodies mixed with heavy rock and punk. and not in the cheap rip off way Oasis did it.. (sorry for fans, but I still hate Oasis) There was nothing like it and still is nothing like it. but In Utero is also like that but like you say , more heavy... Nirvana released 3 amazing albums. Can't think of any bad songs
I agree w/all your comments. I absolutely cannot think of one weak song in their catalog. Kurt had so many influences. Of course there's the Meat Puppets, but you should check-out the Smithereens (who Nirvana modeled themselves after while recording "Nevermind") and then there's the Melvins.
It is complex to decide whether or not "In Utero" is my favorite over "Nevermind", but to reiterate to me "In Utero" was more definitive. People claim that Kurt was going to become more reclusive, but I feel otherwise. I think the 4th album would have been even more metal (by the slight indication of "You Know You're Right") but would have expanded even more off of "All Apologies" as well... An album combining the elements of those two songs would have been the ultimate one indeed.... He still had so much to offer and I won't go further w/my Courtney Love hatred and beliefs....
The obvious question is, how do you feel about the Foo Fighters? I honestly haven't liked them much since "One By One"......

The Foo Fighters are one of my favourite bands, absolutely love them. The only albums I'm not overly keen on are Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace from 2007 and Sonic Highways from 2014. A little too mainstream for my liking, although 2011's Wasting Light was a return to form. Great album, and the 2015 EP Saint Cecilia is great too. They're currently in the studio recording their latest album I believe.
In terms of Nirvana, listened to them a lot a number of years ago but haven't in a while. I don't really count Bleach, not a fan of that one, but Nevermind and In Utero are excellent. Nevermind is obviously their best album, especially when it comes to legacy, but I think In Utero expanded on it greatly. Really good album. And Unplugged is a masterpiece of course. I'm not ashamed to say that I heard the Nirvana version of The Man Who Sold the World before the Bowie version and it fucking blew me away, pardon the French.
I think I'm going to have to listen to those albums again.

Yes, I bought 'Nevermind' and 'In Utero' at the time and I liked them.
The single 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' picked up daytime airplay, and crept into the public consciousness. The album and its singles were soon being played everywhere.
My memory is also that the private lives of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were picked up on by the music press and the tabloids - much like Amy Winehouse was later.
There was probably more sensationalism than there needed to be. It could have had a bearing on Kurt's death?
I also bought the first Foo Fighters album. I didn't take to this as much, and didn't buy any subsequent albums.
I did play the Foo Fighters album again recently, and it seemed better than I recall.

I highly recommend that you and everyone else watch "Soaked In Bleach" if you haven't. Here's imdbs link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3253624/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I don't want to give any of it away whatsoever, but it will have you fully convinced whether or not Kurt indeed committed suicide. It's on Netflix and it really impacted me quite a bit......
There's always two separate standards/measurements...... There's what was an artist's band and what is your personal fave. Jimi Hendrix best album to me is "Electric Ladyland", but my personal fave is "Axis: Bold As Love".... Conversely, "Nevermind" was Nirvana's best, but again "In Utero" has always been my fave and was the ideal follow-up on how again Kurt began expanding their scope and he would have kept progressing further if it weren't for the obvious. He had the potential to even become more of a revolutionary which has been lacking in music for years. No telling how deprived we will always will be if he had lived beyond 27! He again barely scratched the surface......
I loved how Kurt paid homage to the Meat Puppets during "Unplugged" and that he introduced them to a newer audience, but unfortunately their bassist cost them quite a bit w/his own personal demons, but that's an entirely different subject.
Yes I don't see why Kurt wouldn't have continued with Nirvana, which means there would be no Foo Fighters (at least, not as soon as there was).

True and I believe Grohl wouldn't have been contained for too long to work on his own project. He was too talented to only serve as Nirvana's drummer. Kurt would definitely have soldiered on and even probably done his own solo album and other side projects well considering how experimental he was becoming. Again, another innovative mind ahead of his time who didn't even make it into his prime. Again, just imagine what could have been!

I didn't like them when Spirit came out, but I grew to like them. I actually like Bleach better than In Utero. I like Foo too.

Yeah.... I was mixed about them when "Smells Like Teen Spirit" first came out. I was just getting out of my immense Classic Rock/Golden Oldies phase I was in during my earlier teens and then started to embrace Grunge as my own. Towards the end of the 80s I was 13 and dreaded most of the Hair Bands during that time and had to go elsewhere for my music urges and that enabled me to further expand my scope at the time. I'm somewhat going through that right now since I loathe most of today's music.

not a fan of Foo Fighters... i don't know what it is. they sound like nirvana without the heart and soul. which most bands did in the wake of Nirvana. a lot of people love them so who am i to say they have no heart and soul
of smells like teen spirit. it's an amazing song. but it's like song 2 or more so girls and boys... when i put in the album i tend to skip it because its been played to death! good it's the first song, like girls & boys... skipping it doesnt really ruin the flow of the album
i always compare nirvana to blur and vice versa because they were really trend setters and trend destroyers (kurts death killed grunge harsh way to put it) and blur ended britpop after the great escape. i think. both bands were really the best of popular music in the 90's on each side of the pond. not many good grunge bands other than nirvana... not too many good britpop bands other than blur.. that's just my opinion. obviously, they played different type of music. but i found nirvana more in common with blur than oasis had in common with blur. other people might see it the other way around. oasis and nirvana. but nirvana were amazing. and blur were amazing. both had their own unique thing going on.
Excellent post! Also, it's gratifying to know how much Kurt admired Graham's guitar playing on "There's No Other Way"! I don't know if the respect was mutual though because I thought Blur despised Grunge.
Regarding Grunge, I always loved Alice In Chains, STP, Mudhoney, and Soundgarden and was always mixed on Pearl Jam.
i love mudhoney. soundgarden is great. alice in chains is hit or miss for me. i love dirt and unplugged. the rest i never really got into.
i read one quote which I can't really bother to find atm by graham where he says they secretly liked Nevermind but they were too competetive and anti american.. i don't know someone would have to correct me, but it was something like that.
and damon in the NDLIR documentary saying "we were just fed up with nirvana and all the shit.. nirvana weren't shit! but in their wake....something something something" something like that.
i think everyone at that point was inspired by kurt even subconsciously... like A SONG by BLUR is probably the closest, to me, that damon has come to kurt cobain's style. but he was probably not even thinking about it. maybe it was them both trying to sound like lennon lol

Yes, it was a bit like that at the time I was into a lot of 60s-70s music as the 80s wore on. When 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' hit the airwaves, it was a blast of fresh air amidst the understated (I won't say 'insipid' ) indie bands of the UK and overblown 'hair bands' of the USA. It took the good parts of both (the indie sensibilities and the guitar riffs) and channelled them through a distinct frontman.
metalhipslop - I suspect that the Blur members liked Nirvana as an act in itself, but Damon seemed concerned that whole aspects of the North American lifestyle were going to consume the UK. Blur thus championed what became a whole movement ('Britpop') though ultimately Damon's concerns came true with globalisation etc.
