UPDATE: To use Formulator at its optimal speed, download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 10 for free by clicking here
Formulator PPs - Featuring:
• Video Replays & Result Charts

• TickerMaker Program
• Moss Pace Figures
• Live Odds
• Trainer Patterns
• Lifetime PPs in Charts & in the Trainer Patterns Tool
• Workout Tabs and customizable number of workouts
• Synthetic Stats
• Full Manipulation of PPs
• Extended Chart Archive
We are excited to bring you the future in online past performances. With Formulator, you can personalize the way your past performances look like never before. And, as we continue to make improvements, you'll never be asked to re-install any programs since Formulator now lives on the web.
What does Formulator mean for you?
No more software downloads.
No more clashes with Microsoft Vista or Macs.
No more missing pieces.
Formulator is now on the web as a Rich Internet Application and works like any other webpage you visit. Moving Formulator to the web has eliminated the problems listed above, and this has given us the ability to make seamless additions and updates at any time.
(You may be asked to download a newer version of your Adobe Flash Player the first time you try to access Formulator Web, but this should be a relatively simple download. You will be given the necessary "update link" when you launch Formulator Web)
This current version of Formulator Web allows you to do anything you could do with the software version of Formulator. You can view and print online PPs in a web-based format, access charts, selections, analysis, jockey stats, Beyer graphs, and more.
You can also print Formualtor Web PPs, however at this time, it may take a couple minutes for your entire racecard to print. We are working to resolve these printing issues.
For those customers who use Formulator 4.1 PPs, you'll notice that the Trainer Patterns Tool is now functional in Formulator Web. Video replays, the Trainer Patterns Tool, chart access, Moss Pace Figrue access, and the Sibling Summary Report are only available if you've purchased a "Deluxe" racecard.
A tool called "TicketMaker" was introduced into Formulator in 2009. Simply set your budget, select and categorize your horses for each leg of a multi-race wager, and TicketMaker will output your tickets. Using algorithms developed by Steven Crist, TicketMaker is the key to smarter multi-race wagering.
We're excited to launch this upgrade to a program like Formulator, which has changed the way many of you play the game. We're confident you'll share our enthusiasm and we ask you to please send any feedback to email@example.com.
Common Questions:
Q: Which version of Adobe Flash Player should I use?
A: For Formulator to perform at its optimal speed, use Adobe Flash Player 10, which can be downloaded for free by clicking here.
Q: Is there a sample file?
A: Yes. DRF's free races of the week are available in Formulator with most Deluxe functionality. Click here to visit our Race of the Day page.
Q: Can I print Formulator Web PPs?
A: Yes. In order to print PPs, Formulator Web turns them into a PDF file. This process may take a few minutes, depending on your connection speed.
Q: Is there a Formulator Web Users Guide?
A: Yes. Click here to access the Formulator Web Users Guide.
Q: Can I transfer my notes from my current software version of Formulator to Formulator Web?
A: Yes. Click here for detailed information on importing notes from the software version of Formulator to Formulator Web.
Q: Why am I having trouble printing while using Safari?
A: Safaris pop-up blocker tends to prevent the Formulator Web print window from opening up. To avoid this issue, turn off your Safari Pop-Up Blocker through the "Edit" menu. To see a screen shot, click here.
Q: I'm still having trouble printing from a Mac. Now what?
A: Make sure that you're using Adobe Acrobat Reader to open up the PDF PPs, not "Preview." You must have Acrobat Reader set as your default PDF viewer.
Q: Can I continue to use the software version of Formulator?
A: YES – but eventually you won't want to use the software version anymore. We've stopped making enhancements to the software version, and Formulator Web already has all the tools currently available in the software version. But for now, yes, you can still use the software version.
Q: Formulator Web is not working on my computer. Now what?
If you have downloaded Adobe's Flash Player plug-in, but are still not able to access Formulator Web, please email email@example.com with a detailed explanation of your problem.
Q: Can I save racecards using Formulator Web?
A: Yes, you can save racecards as PDF documents using Formulator Web. By clicking "Print," you can convert your racecard into a PDF document. As a PDF document, you can now print it or save it to your computer. Please note that the process of turning a single race (or an entire racecard) into a PDF may take a couple minutes. We are working to eliminate this delay.
Q: Can I add notes to old racecards?
A: For any racecard youve purchased/downloaded, you can go back and add notes to that days charts. You can go back to January 1 of the previous year to add notes to previously purchased racecards.
Q: Can I filter the Past Performances?
A: Yes - this is one of the best parts of online PPs. If you want to merge workouts into your PPs, you're only a click away. If you want to see times in hundredths instead of fifths, you're only a click away. You can see individual horse times instead of the leaders' times, turn morning line odds on or off, filter out certain race types, and much more. See the PPs the way YOU want to see them.
Q: How can I change the look and feel of the PPs?
A: If you're trying to change the size of the PPs, you can use the slider bar next to the word "Zoom" in the navigation bar. You can also check the "fit to screen" box.
If you'd like to change the font sharpness or font thickness, click "Profile Settings" in the navigation bar and adjust the two sliders in that menu.
Q: Why am I being asked to update my Adobe Flash Player?
A: Formulator is now on the web as a "Rich Internet Application." This means you will need a relatively new version of the Adobe Flash Player for the program to work properly. The first time you try to launch Formulator Web, you may be asked to update your Adobe Flash Player. This is a free, one-time update.
Q: I am a databaser. How will I export data from Formulator Web?
A: For the immediate future, you will continue to use your software version of Formulator for all of your exporting needs. Eventually we will have an Exporting and Downloading Center available through Formulator Web. More information will be provided once we get closer to the launch of this Exporting and Downloading Center, but for now, please continue to export through your software version of Formulator.

Major win for Gazillion Entertainment, a gaming startup no one ever heard of before today. Gazillion is announcing a 10 year exclusive deal to build online video games around Marvel Entertainment's (MVL) inventory of 5,000 comic book characters, including everyday names like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Hulk.
Expect the first game, called Super Hero Squad, to debut sometime in 2010 following a TV show of the same name, reports Venturebeat.
All of which raises the question, why should Marvel grant licence to its characters to a relatively unknown gaming studio, instead of trying to build games itself? Marvel has achieved phenomenal success branching directly from comics into movies.
Variety has the answer, in a Q&A with Marvel exec Simon Phillips:
There are different types of games we could do, like MMOs casual games, and console games. But we just started to finance own movies and our own animation. We want to see how all of that goes before we start to go down the route other studios are on of financing a wide range of different types of video games. From a licensing perspective, the type of deal we did with Gazillion that gives us a collaborative effort is the way in which we plan to go in the future.
We don't know the full terms of the Marvel-Gazillion deal, all we know is that Gazillion is exquisitely financed with over 300 employees already. But online games will keep getting bigger, and 10 years is a long time.

The Easiest Salespage You'll Ever Write!
If you know how to write a blog post... You can have a page like this up and taking orders in no time!
What You See Is What You Get
Good 'ole WYSIWYG. That's one of the main strengths of WordPress. It's visual editor is like using an online word processor. No need to understand fancy HTML tags and special codes, just highlight some text, make it bold, plop a video inline... you name it!
If you're already using WordPress, you understand its power and its ease of use. Up till now, it's mainly been a blogging platform with its tell-tale column of archived posts, a "blogroll", RSS feed buttons, etc..
Those are all great features when you're directing traffic, if you will, but you don't want people clicking away from your salespage. All those distractions will destroy your conversion.
What you want it a simple system that enables you to put up a single salespage at a moment's notice, to do it from anywhere with internet access, and to know you've got people's attention. All while taking advantage of perhaps the best reason to use WordPress at all. Serious, automatic, Search Engine Optimization! Google loves "blogs" and your salespage will be pinged to multiple services too as soon as you hit Publish.
So, stop struggling with HTML, don't let the technical stuff hold you back. With this white paper on gray background theme, you can just write a simple blog post, and voila, you've got a crisp, clean squeeze or salespage ready to go.
Selling more than one product on the same domain? Just write those as pages, and churn 'em out whenever you need them. Piece of cake!
BONUS: Do you use Rapid Action Profits? Well, I've got you covered. I've included matching RAP header and footer templates!
Your Favorite Software Developer,
-Erin aka "netkickstart"

I was spending too much time debating how to get up
Thankfully, I found a middle ground. Corne and Christel invited me on an early-morning hike up Lion's Head, a smaller (640 meter) peak nearby. We awoke at the awfully early hour of 5 am, and had parked the car at the base of the trail by 6 am. While the

Before descending, I played the role of tour guide by taking photos of a friendly Iranian tour group with 10 different cameras. The man who spoke with me was pulling for Barack Obama to get elected president in the hope it would lead to improved relations between our countries.

Mike Christy, aka ArtistMike, is an animator who created many animated segments for Sesame Street, usually directed by Bruce Cayard.
He began producing segments for Season 21, starting with an initial 12 co-produced along with Cayard. All of Mike's segments were accomplished using a digital animation program, "Deluxe Paint," on his Amiga 1000 personal computer.[1] He continued producing shorts for the show through the late 1990s.
Christy reflected on his collaboration with Cayard on his official website:
"He taught me the tricks of cel animation and I taught him computer animation. Together in his little house up in the Hollywood hills, we made Sesame Street animations that you and your children grew up on.[2]"

We stayed with our dear Pepa and Silvia, being accepted and she's surprised by Don Lorenzo, also witnessed a wedding, a lot of action and our PEPSI catching Kaiser, wrapped Sara saw blood in the end, fearing for her death.
Now back with more action and romance, the first change is that Lola (Sara's mother and wife of Paco) has left the series, the actress has had to leave the series because it is involved in other projects. It has also entered a new trainee at the police station.
Sara .... does not die ... as expected.
PEPSI We are totally out of the closet, and new plans ...
Left now with the video and then told them my opinions on all the surprises that will: (I recommend you see seated to avoid falling)
Well, I know girls have been left without knowing to say, like me when I saw her, I guess we will see that you have left with their mouths open when Pepa, our beloved Pepa tells Aitor if he make love with her or when we see kissing, what crazyyyyy .... The fact is that if we continue to see the spoiler assume at least that's my theory that they have chosen Aitor as father of the child they want, and Pepa has been chosen for he because they have more convinced that their inclinations than Silvia, but I say I do not know that these girls are a thing as artificial insemination?, or opinions about what Pepa believe that Silvia go very fast in the relationship and she was scared and decided to see if the side hetero does well, but with Aitor ??... is very young (also that Pepa has a moment crazy and she's found with Aitor and.... put strain on the couple ....)

Working on your personal development can be very overwhelming, but just like anything else, it can also be very easily researched and applied. Now that you have found this list of tips, hopefully, you can come out a little more informed when it comes to personal development. You can refine your plan and become a better person.
Generalizations are the enemy of your self-improvement and success. Examine your thought processes to see what negative, general beliefs you hold about yourself. If you say in your mind that you "always fail," etc., this is not accurate. Even if it was only one time, you have succeeded in the past! Remind yourself that the future is bright and self-improvement is possible.
Learning a new skill is a great way to stretch yourself and improve the quality of your character. What's more, perfecting a hobby, technical skill or artistic form may be challenging at first, but if you master it, you will gain a sense of accomplishment, purpose and enjoyment. What's more, you add to your pool of leisure activities and make yourself a more rounded human being.
While going through the many emotional crisis that can occur in your life, some self help suggestions always help. Although, while trying to help yourself mentally, it is as important to take care of yourself physically. Healthy eating and exercise will leave you with many more positive thoughts than you had before doing such.
Improve your life by cleaning up "your world." Avoid being messy and living and working in a cluttered environment. By keeping your spaces clean and in an orderly fashion, you can find everything you need. You will no longer stress out about things being lost. This can bring a sense of calm and peace to your mind.
Exercise! Choose any physical activity you like or ever wanted to try… Whether you do simple exercise or modern fitness, Modern Yoga or Modern Qi Gong, just keep moving. Life is in motion, matter is a type of energy, and hence it is not static.
To cope with depression, exercise! Walking is a great form of exercise and a brisk walk can do wonders to lift your spirits. Don't neglect strolling! Taking a leisurely stroll after dinner each day, can help you relax and unwind. Take time to look and really see all that is around you. Seek the positive in all things.
To help you improve yourself personally, exercising everyday is essential. Exercise can help you improve your focus, enhance your ability in a variety of sports and generally improve your health and well being. Exercise is also key to personal development since exercise releases endorphins, which are a mood enhancer and promote a more positive outlook on life.
Not as bad as you thought, correct? Like any other subject, the world of personal development is vast and has a wealth of information available on it. Sometimes, you just need a little hint as to where to begin with it so that you can begin. Hopefully, you have received just that from the tips above.

|Winners at SBS (L-R:Pradeep, Vishal, Gandharva, Vivek and Mariyam)
Shanti Business School's very own Mariyam Baig of PGDM batch 2015-17, submitted her research and presented on "Women Empowerment through IT" & was announced as a winner of this competition. She quoted "Under the main topic, we have given 5-6 choices and I have selected this subject, reason being, IT & digitalization is everywhere, so why not to use technology for something which is a major concern in our society i.e. women safety. As of now we have women helpline numbers, mobile applications etc. but during the time of adversity majority of them doesn't work, and it's impossible to share our location during crises, hence I have suggested a device which will be GPS integrated through which by pressing an alert button, will send our details along with our current location information to the nearest control room."
SBS's winning streak continues in an inter college event- "Spectrum" which was hosted by SomLalit Institute of Management. Padeep Mishra & Vishal Mishra of PGDM batch 2015-17 stood first in Youth Parliament" which was a debate competition which continued till three levels. Vishal quoted "With every round each participant was getting eliminated but we were sure that with our confidence and conviction we can crack every level". Similarly Gandharva Kumar and Vivek Vora of PGDM batch 2015-17 also stood first in "Brainaica" – A quiz and mind games activity. Vivek quoted "There were 40+ participants and winning this competition has given us more confidence, encouragement and energy to participate in more such competitions".
The week started and ended on a winning note for Shanti Business School's students and hope it further continues.

Another OWM Hall of Shame culprit is NY's famous Pizza lovers. You know you are one block away from a Pizza Parlor when you start to see the plates littered along the sidewalks and streets. It must take the same amount of time to walk one block as it does to enjoy a slice. The plates make NYC's sidewalks awash with white holes. These eight were from my Monday morning walk to the subway.
Tuesday's collection on the same walk. The last one is my favorite! That plate is now a permanent part of the sidewalk.
Wednesday's walk was mostly about picking up plastic before the rainstorm but there were still enough holes to get eight more photos for the collection.
Thursday's walk yielded some doubles.
Until next time,
Garbage Girl

"Human Nature"
Posted October 12, 2012on:
- In: Poems and Prose | Talents

A calm yet strong personality, a sharp mind, and a great heart; that's 15-year-old Egyptian Salma Ahmad, one of my special students who never ceased to exceed my expectations, leaving a big mark in my heart and mind!
Tonight, I would like to share with you one of Salma's lovely creations; a poem she wrote this summer about "Human Nature"
Human nature
I marvel how nature could ever find space
For so many strange contrasts in one human face
There's thought and no thought, and there's paleness and bloom
And bustle and sluggishness, pleasure and gloom.
There's weakness, and strength both redundant and vain;
Such strength as, if ever affliction and pain
Could pierce through a temper that's soft to disease,
Would be rational peace—a philosopher's ease.
There's indifference, alike when he fails or succeeds,
And full attention ten times as much as there are needs;
Pride where there's no envy, there's so much of joy;
And mildness, and spirit both forward and coy.
There's freedom, and sometimes a diffident stare
Of shame scarcely seeming to know that she's there,
There's virtue, the title it surely may claim,
Yet wants heaven to know what is to be worthy the name.
This picture from nature may seem to depart,
Yet Man would at once run away with your heart;
And I for five centuries right gladly would be
Such an odd, such a kind happy creature as he.
Guardian Angel
Posted July 7, 2011on:
Last night I dreamed of my late grandmother! She was living at my aunt's house wearing a coat that made her invisible for the people that knew she was dead. Only my aunt knew she was always there and could talk to her and hug her and enjoy her company. When I knew she was there I was overwhelmed and hurried to see her. She opened the door for me but she didn't look like herself. She looked young and her face was very different, but I felt it was her. I hugged her and kissed her real hard. It was a great feeling that filled me with peace and serenity. I then realized how much I missed her and missed her tenderness, support and wisdom!
I asked my aunt how come she was still there while she was supposed to be in heaven. She answered with a smile, "it is God's will, why should I interfere or question? God knows when to keep her up, and when to send her as my angel to help me and watch over me. I love the fact that she's still with me; I never feel alone or unprotected."
I woke up later with a smile on my face and started praying. It was the first time I dream of a dead person or a ghost and don't panic or freak out, but instead feel positive, protected and peaceful.
I wish my dream comes true and my beloved grandma would be my very special guardian angel that is always around watching over me. I wish that and I know and feel that her beautiful soul is always around watching over us all. I learned a lot from her and still learn every time I remember a word or an act of hers.
I love you sweetest grandma and I miss you tremendously! It's been seven years since you left us, but you've always been in our hearts and minds an extremely vivid image that helped us move on, surmount a lot of difficulties and avoid a lot of mistakes. We all are better people because of you!
I love you and I truly miss you! Keep watching over me and my family 🙂
Help Her Raise Awareness!

Shirin Al Ansari is a strong advocate against child abuse. Here's her own special way to help raising awareness among all age groups and breaking the cycle of child abuse.
My name is Kate
I am eight
My arms are swollen
And my leg is broken
I hear daddy coming,
he is high
I begin to cry
He was sleeping
I had awakened him
with my weeping
He comes and carries me
up high
And lets out a sigh
He then smashes me on
the wooden floor
I try to crawl to
the door
But he grabs my leg
And beats me more
I'm sorry I yelled in
my last breath
As I awaited death
Now I'm with my mummy
In the heavens above
I just wish daddy had
treated me with more love!

Today I wanted to look like a 1980s tourist. And wouldn't you know it, it wasn't at all difficult to find what I needed:
1. Ken Done boob-tube top. Check.
2. Summer sarong. Check (AND it even has Hawaiian images, which makes the LiP very happy).
3. Visor. Thanks to Pam, she had one in her stash of old tourism paraphernalia. This one was from the Gold Coast. Check (and thanks, Pam!)
4. Tourist imagery. Fortunately a black swan played it's role down at the Mandurah estuary.
5. 1980s reminder... imagine my joy when we saw this woman walking around with a Gremlins backpack. Check and Perfect!

DENVER (AP/CBS4) — A man who allegedly confessed to killing his wife as she spoke to a 911 operator is being held without bond after his first court appearance Wednesday.
During the brief appearance, Richard Kirk, who faces murder charges, said nothing. The 47-year-old wore a grey jail uniform and showed no emotion.
Several relatives were in the courtroom. They did not to speak to reporters.
Police officers arrived at the home on the 2100 block of South St. Paul Street just after 44-year-old Kristine Kirk was shot in the head Monday night, about 15 minutes after she called 911.
Authorities are investigating whether police responded quickly enough and whether her husband, who she said was hallucinating, had been using marijuana.
According to court documents, a detective who listened to his wife's 911 call says he could hear her scream and then a gunshot.
Friends and family of the Kirks told CBS4 Richard Kirk is a great father, a great husband, and what happened inside their home is simply tragic and unexplainable. His younger brother, Shane Kirk, said he hasn't spoken him since the arrest.
"Lives for his family and that's why this is so out of left field. He's a great, hardworking father and husband," Shane Kirk said. "All he did was work for his kids. He coached soccer games, took them to hockey games and basketball games all the time."
The family says Richard Kirk works as artist and designer for Tough Shed's corporate office. Kristine Kirk recently changed her office job.
CBS4 asked Shane Kirk about the possibility of his brother being high on drugs when his wife called 911. He replied that he was shocked that Richard Kirk was using pot.
"I'm wondering, this marijuana, where ever he (Richard) got it from," Shane Kirk said. "I didn't know marijuana could do this."
Shane Kirk also says he's concerned about the police response time.
"They live in downtown Denver. I'm concerned that she was on the phone for 13 minutes with 911. I have lots of questions about that," he said.
Denver police say the normal response time is 15 minutes for an emergency and 27 for non-emergency.
The Kirks have three young boys. The family says the Kirk children are now with their mother's family, which is located in Colorado, but not local to the metro area.

I'm in federal prison camp on a 77-month sentence for a nonviolent drug crime. I was fortunate enough to be out on bail for over a year prior to my self-surrender. In that time, I was able to reconnect with the Twelve-Step Program I attend on the outside when I'm sober. I've been struggling with addiction most of my adult life, so I've been in and out of the Program since 2001.
AA meets twice weekly here at the camp, and I attend regularly. Let me share my experience at yesterday's topic meeting. Those of you familiar with this type of AA meeting will recognize the format: A topic is introduced and then other members share their experience with it. The topic that day was "pride," based on a reading from As Bill Sees It. The essence of the reading was that pride keeps us from actually being successful in the program or, put another way, humility is the foundation for a successful recovery from addiction to drugs or alcohol. My story is all about pride.
In the 1990s, I lived in New York City. I was in my twenties, and I had recently discovered crystal meth, clubbing and the party lifestyle. My party weekends would begin at noon on Thursday, when I'd leave work to buy drugs. I'd start partying at my dealer's apartment and would then go back to work high. The weekend would last through Monday, and it was always a complete blur. I wouldn't sleep at all, nor would I eat.
Mondays were the worst. By the time Monday rolled around, I was completely used up mentally, physically and emotionally. I was a shell of a human being, barely able to function. I did this every other weekend – and sometimes every weekend – over and over again. I'd drag myself to work, barely able to function. I'm convinced people must have known what was going on, but no one ever said a thing to me.
The next three or four days would be spent sleeping, then dragging myself to work. I didn't even eat that much, because I was saving my money to buy drugs. At first I didn't party every weekend. It would take me about a week to finally start feeling normal again and I couldn't afford the drugs.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with New York City – lots of people out and about all the time. Young and good-looking, I would eventually "get my swag back." I didn't call it swag then, since that word didn't really exist at the time, but that's what it was. I remember the feeling well. I was recovered, I felt and looked good again and I thought I was hot stuff. I knew I looked good and I knew you knew I looked good. What I learned is that the moment I started feeling like this – the moment I had my swag back – I'd be using shortly thereafter. Over and over again.
I never want to feel the way I felt during those days in New York. For me, "swag" is synonymous with "pride," and swag is something I don't want. The second I start thinking "I'm it," "I'm hot stuff" or "I've got it going on," is the moment I know I'm doomed to use again. I have learned this through experience. Today, I make a huge effort to remain right-sized. How do I do this?
First, I go to meetings, where I've developed a core group of good friends who know me and with whom I'm honest. I count on them to give me feedback and to let me know when I'm acting in a way which is contrary to recovery. When I was using, I never had real friends. There were people I used, and who used me, for drugs, sex and money, but I didn't have friends. Now I do. It's probably the greatest thing about being clean and sober.
Secondly, I give back. There is a phrase in recovery, "Service keeps you sober." Whenever I can, I try to be of service. I make it a point to help people in recovery whenever they ask, and sometimes even when they don't. I've learned that when I'm thinking about someone else, I'm not thinking about myself. This really is the key to my own recovery. This is how I stay humble. I keep my mind off myself and focus on how I can help another struggling addict or alcoholic.
That's my experience with pride. My advice, campers, is to make your life a "swag-free" zone, make sober friends and help others. My experience has taught me that if you do these things, you've got a shot at staying sober and drug-free. Trust me, life is great once you put down the drugs and alcohol.

New Scientastic! Production Highlights Importance of Sleep
A new one-hour show/mini-movie, focused on the importance of sleep, is in production for the Scientastic! series of Duquesne University professor Dr. John A. Pollock. The show is being produced in partnership with David Caldwell of Planet Earth Television.
Pollock, associate professor of biological sciences, plans to have the pilot ready to be presented to a public TV distributor in early September. His 2010 live-action Scientastic! pilot focused on regenerative medicine.
"The show focuses on the health issues surrounding the fact that nobody really gets enough sleep," said Pollock, who has illuminated such issues as dealing with bullies and handling diabetes through TV and planetarium-shown health literacy programs.
The kid who is wildly over-reacting and frenetic, not the one with his head on the desk, is the sleep-deprived child, Pollock suggested. "When our quality of sleep gets better, we're able to handle ourselves better throughout the day," Pollock said.
For two weeks in July, a cast including Pittsburgh's Creative and Performing Arts students worked on location at the Phipps Conservatory, the Allegheny Observatory, the Pittsburgh Children's Museum, Meadowcroft Village, the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium, UPMC's Sleep Lab and other city locations.
The story follows Cassie, the daughter of a night-shift working astronomer, who worries about grades and studying so she stays up later than she should; her brother Dean, who keeps sneaking video games at night; and a snoring father. They explore ideas about sleep, starting with a sleep anthropologist and a look at circadian rhythms among people, plants and animals.
The show highlights others' research that shows improved academic, athletic, behavioral and creative performance when sleep is increased.
Scientastic! initially was funded with grants to Duquesne University, including a Science Education Partnership Award from the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Education, UPMC Health Plan and The Pittsburgh Foundation. Currently, the project is funded in part by a Small Business Innovation Research grant from the National Science Foundation to Planet Earth Television as well as UPMC, the Idea Foundry and Urban Innovation 21, among others.

King Bolt still reigns
André Lowe, Senior Staff Reporter
A poor start, mid-race recovery, comfortable win. Except for the grand pyrotechnics that greeted the big Jamaican at the finish line, it was a familiar scenario for double Olympic champion and world record holder Usain Bolt as he recovered to win with something to spare at the Sainsbury's Anniversary Games Diamond League stop in London yesterday.
However, the 26-year-old, who was returning to his London 2012 Olympic Games stomping ground, is not taking too much comfort in his season best 9.85-seconds win, pointing to a "horrifying" start as the point of his race that will need the most attention before next month's IAAF World Championships in Moscow gets under way on August 10.
The two-day meet is being staged on the anniversary of the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games and it was a case of déjà vu as a jam-packed stadium witnessed Bolt dominate his peers, like he did 12 months ago.
"It's just wonderful," said Bolt immediately after the race.
What wasn't so wonderful, however, was his start.
Bolt was one of the slowest out of the starting blocks with a 0.175 reaction time, but he is used to running from behind, and at the midway point of the race, the four-time World Athlete of the Year flicked on the afterburners - and the TV-friendly finish line fire-show, leaving the fast-starting American Mike Rodgers, 9.98, and fellow Jamaican Nesta Carter, 9.99, looking at his heels.
Nonetheless, Bolt, who false-started at the last World Championships and was later ejected, is expecting that the rounds that he will have to run in Moscow will give him an opportunity to further fine-tune his start.
"I'm so excited. I just had a bad start. More races will get me better, so it's OK. It was a brilliant experience, as always, and I am just happy to be here," said Bolt.
Will he return to London anytime soon?
His cheeky, "That's up to the tax people," response will give his fans and lawmakers on the isle something to think about.
Bolt's training partner and Olympic 200m bronze medallist Warren Weir made a statement of his own, powering around the curve before pushing home to win the half-lap event in 19.89 - his sixth sub-20 seconds clocking (fourth this season) since switching from the sprint hurdles in 2011.
"I am pretty pleased with the 19.89. I am confident going into the World Champs that I can run my race and win," said Weir.
Upcoming Jamaican Jason Young, now at the University of the West Indies, continued to show his ability, finishing second in 19.99 with American Wallace Spearmon, third in 20.18. Former Munro standout and Turks and Caicos native Delano Williams, now representing Great Britain, was also in the race, finishing eighth in 20.74.
Olympic finalist Kimberly Williams, 14.38m, was second in the triple jump, finishing behind Russian Ekaterina Koneva, 14.52m, with Hanna Knyazyeva-Minenko, 14.29m, in third spot.
Kaliese Spencer, 54.88, and Ristananna Tracey, 55.55, finished fifth and seventh in the 400m hurdles, which was won by Czech Republic's Zuzana Hejnova, 53.07, with Britain's Perri Shakes-Drayton, 53.67, and Georganne Moline of the United States, 54.32, completing the top three spots.
Nine Jamaicans will compete on today's second and final day of the meet, including Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who lines up in the 100m.

How to purchase Tile Flooring & other Natural Stone Online

What is Honed vs. Polished? Seems like an easy questions for most but if you're not familiar with different tile finishes than it might not be so simple. We want to help clarify that for you so you're selecting the right finish for your project. Honed and Polished are both standard finishes for tile when talking about natural stone Travertine, Marble, Granite, Limestone, or Slate.

When calculating the amount of Natural Stone Tile or Pavers you need for your project ordering the correct amount of overage is an important part. There is a rule of thumb within the industry when working with Travertine, Limestone, or Marble Tile which is ordering at least 10-12% overage for your project. This overage is important to cover waste, miscuts, and any material that is broken or chipped during installation or when pulled out of the pallet. The main focus for this is making sure you have the correct amount of material to properly complete your project and that you're not left short which can cost you time, money, and frustration.

While polling real estate agents recently on what buyers really prefer in homes there was a resounding nod towards the use of real stone such as travertine, granite, limestone, etc., over any man-made products available. "Real stone has an inherent value for resale of homes", states Ronnie Graves of Prudential California. In fact, the #1 question that gets asked by prospective buyers during most home walkthroughs is "Are the floors and countertops real stone?"

1. Wash Your Hands
Packaged items are handled just like any other shop, but bulk goods have their own system and it starts with washing your hands. The sink is at the back of the shop to the right.
You'll need containers to put your goodies into. You can bring your own, or you can use the ones that others have donated – they're in boxes under the centre console. We also sell new jars if you would prefer to buy them. Or you can use paper bags at a cost of 10c each.
2. Weigh Your Containers
First weigh your empty containers and record the weight. Usually people write the weight on the jar with the marker pen provided. TIP: Make sure you weigh the jar with the lid on, or you will pay extra at the till for the weight of the lid.
3. Fill Your Containers
Then use the scoops and utensils provided to transfer your goodies into containers. Put the used scoops into the "Used" container on the centre console and we'll wash them up.
As a member of the organisation, you are encouraged to be very involved by wiping up spills, moving packaged goods to the front when some have been taken, and so on. If you are inducted as a volunteer, it is also very much appreciated when you take a moment to refill an empty jar or help out in some small way while you are shopping.
4. Come To The Till
At the till, we enter the weight of your full jar and then subtract the weight of your empty jar to calculate the cost so you're not paying for packaging, just product.

Last night saw the launch of Beyoutiful (Formerly Luscious) on the Hollywood Road, and what better night for it than on the eve of International Women's Day!
Jenny McCalmont, the beautiful owner is the epitome of a strong woman in business, she is at the helm of a long standing business, which spanning 6 years and employs a vast team of fantastic ladies who are all top of their game.
The beauty boutique has undergone an extensive refurbishment and it looks AMAZING. We were really impressed by the spaciousness of the salon and how well it is laid out.
The treatment rooms look so very comfortable and we plan to book in for a facial and hot stone massage in the not too distant future!
There were a number of treatments on offer throughout the evening, we took advantage of the face mapping service with Coleen from Ciara Daly Make-Up. We picked up SO many fabulous tips on getting the most from our makeup brushes and some great advice on make up, namely concealing and contouring.
Erinn's Treatments
Coleen used a range of widely available and very affordable products she certainly dispelled the myth that it's essential to buy all your products from an expensive make up counter – but she stressed the point that your brushes and your application technique are the most important weapons in your make-up arsenal. Beyoutiful stocks and sells a wide range of the Ciara Daly brushes, should you find it hard to get to Ciara's studio on the Lisburn Road!
"The lovely Chloe got my very sad bare nails dickied up with an oxblood colour of gel nails; I wear my nails short and sometimes I find it hard to decide on a colour so I always fall back to red.
This evening I was happy to take Chloe's advice on this fab colour – I feel like I need to dig out my old Doc Martens to complete the look.
The beauty boutique is stocking a new product called Gel Break from OPI, a professional treatment to use between Gel manicures. This is a God send for me as I find when I have Gel treatments back to back the condition of my nails bombs, and I "sometimes" remove my Gels rather agriculturally which certainly doesn't help!
I was really happy to get the low down on this treatment, which I think I would use between every 2 Gel applications".
Other treatments on the night included massages, facials and blow dries, but the treatment that really provoked the WOW factor from all guests was the hair plaiting service.
"I am of the short haired variety, so as much as my graduated bob tried, it was not going into a plait, but every single lady who had a one looked great, I was happy for them but definitely had a pang of envy!
The stylists in the beauty boutique advised that the plaits can last up to 4 days – perfect for holidays.
A special mention to Amanda from Bluebird Catering; the spread was delicious and we will dream about the white chocolate strawberries for a long time… We may have had more than one…Hey we didn't have any dinner and needed to keep the energy levels up!
The night was definitely a success and we really had all the feels to be surrounded by so many lovely ladies all sharing stories over a glass of bubbly and enjoying themselves – "When women support each other, incredible things happen" – Happy International Women's Day!
For further information on the new look Beauty Boutique visit their website or join them on Northern Ireland's first and only beauty hour every Wednesday 9pm – 10pm on Twitter use the hashtag #BeautyHourNI.

My Thoth card is the Nine of Disks reversed. "Gain" reversed. Okay, there is a reason for this. The Nine of Disks (Venus, beauty, allure, relationships, in Virgo, "I serve," practical, analytical, work and service oriented) in an upright position tells of accomplishment through the imposition of discipline. My reversed Nine of Disks does not represent the possible deception or bad faith that it can normally indicate (at least I hope!); I believe my Nine of Disks is reversed because it is indicating approaching gain. Not that the gain is assured, not by any means. But it is approaching!
My Legacy card is The Tower reversed, flavored by the Queen of Swords. The Tower (Fire (hot/separates and dry/shapes, and spontaneous, impulsive, energetic change), Mars (action, spontaneity, aggression, drive), Phe (mouth or speech), and the Path between Hod (which provides analysis and communication) and Netzach (which offers the stimulating factors of emotion and inspiration)) tells of a violent or explosive correction in the way things are going. My card is reversed, thankfully, but all is not completely safe. I may be successfully adjusting things right now, but if I don't keep alert, blockages may occur. And since this is a Fire card, I need to look for imbalances regarding that element in order to impose a more gentle correction. The Queen of Swords (cusp of Virgo, "I serve," practical, sensible, work and service oriented, and Libra, "We are," partnerships, balance, cooperation, grace) can be considered a Minor Arcana representation of the Justice card. Se is flavoring my reversed Tower, and that is a good thing, because she has the ability to be detached from emotions and objectively analytical. This Queen is also reminding me to be ethical in my pursuit of my goals. Okay.
My 6-digit date number is 5, the number of movement that gets rid of stagnation.
My horoscopes: "There's a great deal of fun to be had today, Sagittarius. Money isn't always necessary to make this happen, however. In fact, money isn't a great way to keep score. Consider the sacrifices you make each time you strive to earn more cash. There's a dynamic feeling in the air today that's asking you to expand your mind in order to consider other ways to have fun."
And: "You are at a point of emotional climax right now. Things are coming to a critical point in which situations seem to first escalate and then suddenly collapse. Little issues in your relationships that you have failed to deal with openly are coming back to haunt you. It could be that someone is trying to cross you at this time, or maybe it just feels this way. Don't get overly paranoid. The whole world is not out to get you."
My Shadowscapes Insight is regarding the Three of Wands. This one is significant for two reasons. First of all, it's not a Pentacles card. I have been throwing Pentacles cards frequently with this deck, but not today. This is such an exciting card to draw on the day before the release of my first book. The Shadowscapes Three of Wands tells us to take those first steps, to walk along the bridge as it arcs into the sky to where the bridge ends, and then to stand on the edge and gaze forward. The next step is the most frightening because it is unknown; there is no bridge already in place created by others who have come before us. Now is the time for us to step forward into the unknown, and to trust that all will be well. To trust that the bridge will continue under our feet.
Interesting that the Touchstones: Daily Meditations for Men entry supports this. "Today is before us as an unformed experience. Yesterday took its own shape, and whatever it was has now gone. Our only opportunities exist in what we will do today." Tomorrow is the release date for my first book, "The Emerald Tablet: My 24 Day Journal of Discovery," published by Luna Station Press. I really do feel today as if I am standing at the edge of that bridge. Very appropriate card.
More about Astrology! Western Astrology makes use of the Zodiac, which is a band of constellations that appear in our sky. Over the years, Astrologers noted these constellations and attached a particular significance to them because our Sun passes through each of them throughout the solar year; these twelve signs were considered "enlightened" because of that solar influence. Eventually the system of the twelve signs of the Zodiac was developed.
Most Western Astrologers use the Tropical Zodiac, which begins with the sign of Aries at the Northern hemisphere Vernal Equinox, usually on or around March 21 of each year. The Western Zodiac is drawn based on the Earth's relationship to fixed, designated positions in the sky, and the Earth's seasons.
The Sidereal Zodiac is another option; it is drawn based on the Earth's position in relation to the constellations, and follows their movements in the sky.
Due to a phenomenon called precession of the equinoxes (where the Earth's axis slowly rotates like a spinning top in a 25,700 year cycle), there is a slow shift in the correspondence between Earth's seasons (and calendar) and the constellations of the Zodiac. Thus, the Tropical Zodiac corresponds with the position of the Earth in relation to fixed positions the sky, while the Sidereal Zodiac is drawn based on the position in relation to the constellations. Whichever Zodiac is used (and I will focus on the Tropical Zodiac), Astrology focuses on the effects created by our Sun, our Moon and the other planets in our Solar System as they move through these constellations.
Like the Tarot Major Arcana and Minor Arcana Court, in modern Western astrology the signs of the Zodiac are seen to represent twelve basic personality types or modes of expression. Like the Minor Arcana Pip Cards, The twelve signs are divided into the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water, with Fire and Air signs being considered masculine, and Water and Earth signs considered feminine.
In my next post I will describe the signs themselves, and the concepts of Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed.

Congress in its wisdom passed a law in 2007 that led to the banning incandescent of the sale of light bulbs, beginning on New Year's Day, 2012. By 2015, all of them in between 40 watts and 150 watts must be gone from the shelves. The 100-watt lights go first, by law. Maybe you don't like fluorescent bulbs. Maybe they give you headaches. Tough luck for you, peon. You have no say in the matter. Your liberty got flushed down the Congress-mandated 1.6 gallon-tank toilet. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper than fluorescent bulbs. They use less energy. That's right — less energy. For proof, click here. Yet Congress banned incandescent bulbs as an energy-saving measure. The British government passed a similar law. Result: hoarding on a massive scale. Black markets ahead? You bet!

Last Thursday night was our Solo & Ensemble Recital, where kids from our band participate and their siblings are able to do something, as well. It's a chance to perform with the various instruments we play, be it a piano, a trumpet group, and yes, even yodeling. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get a picture of Ben, who yodeled. It was very entertaining, though. We were able to get a few pictures, however.
Anna and I played.
Little Bethany Simon stole the show with Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Something changes and who gets fucked more then anyone else?
Man I sure am happy to have switched race.
Guys just stop struggling.
Play Orkz. The real artillery faction.
Zzap and Torps. Put a Grot Launcha on Terror. Bring two Terror.
100% win rate vs SM in clash.
And its soooooo relaxing.
PS. So that noone can say I wasn't the first. Orkz Vs Orks is about to have a meta shift.
1st the is a IN thread in their faction directory, as much of an Ork fan myself (near 100% total win rate, 40k reno, max fleet) that is not a helpful comment. I see you make a lot of the "Orkz iz OP so Im gunna use them to show that" posts in various topics here and is frankly anoying. Tindalos will figure out how to curb Zzaps and make Orks a viable brawling faction again wile giving them a viable chase tool against kiters.
On topic, its not unbeatable. Is it hard to counter?, absolutely. 3 Dominators and a Mars (for Nova and fighter screen) will put the hurt at both long range and close if properly kitted out and all focusing 1 Barge at a time, I mean everything, boarding actions, lightinng strikes (if marine favor), double broadside maneuvering, and Nova Cannon shots. If faced with 2 barges always focus fire 1 until it dies, then move on the other.
Oh I am so sorry, I annoyed you? Heartbreaking. Again, I could go post digging, but what's the point right? Hell, your signature swaps alone tell the whole story. I know that facing the disaster you were one of the most fervent sponsor of is frustrating, but come on, have some dignity and take it on the chin like the good little 6k AP Savage spammer you are (were, now you got even better and easier tools).
But I completely agree on the relaxed approach: "Hey don't worry, the *emergency buffs* will be fixed...somehow...someday..."
Still one one point you were right, that was not directly helpful, so I ask for pardon to OP and all the others.
More on topic, three I think are the keys here.
As said AP, fighters and detection.
Here is the thing: when you see SM opponent, you MUST assume one carrier will not be enough.
Yes even an Emperor: hangars per se maybe, but it slows you down too much OR you accept to split and that makes you more vulnerable. With four total bays Homing Torps will still get through if thats the enemy fleet focus.
So what? Bring two Dictators or two Mars? Mars lances are ok, but then are a couple of Dominator/Tyrant be enough to bring two Barges down? Frankly I don't think so.
Here is when detection comes in: get Emission Dissipator to dodge probes, which in turn will allow for a single BC/CA carrier (maybe even none).
So here I was thinking maybe three between Ovvie, Doms or Tyrant, rest upgraded Firestorms.
9k Gothic does good here sure. But only one of them? Surely you need to bring two. Two on three total cruiser slots. Might be an acceptable compromise in the current SM heavy meta, but that's clearly not what you want in general.
But! But! Emperor, Ovvie, Mars, 2xGothic and one Tyrant may be a dock composition worth testing.

Six Stunning Sites Unearthed in Search for Scotland's Hidden Gems
Press release • Aug 01, 2017 13:22 BST
Dig It! 2017, the year-long celebration of archaeology, has been coordinating the Scotland-wide search. Over 12,000 votes have been cast over the last two months and with the polls now closed, the winners have been revealed:
- Govan Stones, Glasgow
- Ardrossan Castle, North Ayrshire
- The Howff, Dundee
- James Watt Cottage, Bo'ness (Falkirk)
- Campbeltown Picture House, Argyll & Bute
- Lincluden Collegiate Church, Dumfries & Galloway
With over 2,000 votes, the Govan Stones was the most popular site. The collection consists of 31 medieval stones carved in the Viking era, including carved crosses and five Viking hogback stones. Ardrossan Castle, a medieval ruin which once played host to some of Scotland's most powerful people including William Wallace, came in second place.
The Howff, a 453-year-old graveyard, landed in third place with over 1,000 votes. Fourth place was claimed by James Watt Cottage - the former workshop of the inventor James Watt, whose steam engine played a key role in the Industrial Revolution.
Campbeltown Picture House, one of the earliest surviving purpose-built cinemas in the UK, came in fifth place with over 800 votes. The final spot was claimed by Lincluden Collegiate Church, where visitors can still find angels and cherubs carved in the stone.
As part of the 2017 Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology, Scotland's six World Heritage Sites were celebrated with six events in April. The organisers then set out to find six "lesser-known" sites to bring them into the spotlight as well.
The 'Scotland in Six – Hidden Gems' campaign began in June after 28 sites were nominated by local groups and organisations. Voting took place on Facebook, where one "like" equalled one vote.
The six winning Hidden Gems sites are now preparing to mark their victory with six events during Scottish Archaeology Month in September.
Dr Jeff Sanders, Dig It! 2017 Project Manager, said: "We've been thrilled by the reaction to the Hidden Gems campaign. The people who nominated the sites have put an enormous amount of time and effort into the promotion and it's been great to see members of the public respond with equal enthusiasm - whether they're sharing childhood memories or discovering a site for the first time."
Marie Christie, Head of Development, VisitScotland Events Directorate, said: "From World Heritage Sites to ancient monuments, listed buildings to historic battlefields, cultural traditions to our myths, stories and legends, the Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology is the time to explore Scotland's fascinating past.
Following the success of Scotland in Six, celebrating World Heritage Day, it is great to see the overwhelming response from voters who are proud to support some of Scotland's 'lesser known' sites. These hidden gems highlight our rich and diverse history and we are looking forward to the events planned for Scottish Archaeology Month in September."

text: Peter Tipton Gates of Newport Beach passed away Wednesday, January 4, 2012 from a Massive Heart Attack. Pete was born in Arcadia, California to Don Gates and Mary Kenner Gates on August 3, 1945. He was the little brother to Marilyn Beshear and Don Gates. Growing up, Pete spent his summers on Balboa Island, a place that eventually became home. He later served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Pete married the love of his life, Patty Jane Gates, in 1975. They had two beautiful daughters, Laurie Kenner Gates, now 28, and Kerrie Jane Gates, now 26. The last few years of his life were filled with a truly incredible amount of laughs and love. He was known to some as Pete, but to many others it was Tip, Pedro, Tippy, Papa Pete, and Daddy. A man with a lot of bark, but very little bite! His friends and family just couldn't get enough of his wit and humor. Pete loved people more than anything. If he wasn't surrounded by his coffee group at Kean Coffee, or making friends at the good ole' Chicken Coop, he was probably having a rummer with "the boys" on his most prized possession, the Patty G. Pete's two biggest fans were his daughters, Laurie and Kerrie. Along with the two of them, he will be dearly missed by his loving sister, Marilyn, his extended family, his many friends including the "Patty G Boat Crew," and of course his two favorites, "Sugar" and "Sierra." Pete is preceded in death by his parents, his daughter, Dayna Lynn, his brother, and his ex-wife, Patty Gates. Daddy, the love we all have for you is bigger than you could ever know.

Turning 30..../
Tomorrow I may be turning 30...ok, I am turning 30. Which I guess is a milestone. The above picture is my 22nd birthday. It's amazing how time flies. I was at uni, finding a new life and loving it. I bleached my hair, and coloured the underneath dark brown.
I think this is my 24th, or maybe my 25th? Bloomsbury bowling and massive hoop earrings. Oh and the matching pink bra to the pink top.
My 26th, and I went to the hairdresser specially, and yet I hated it. Straight (read lanky) and a fringe that is doing nothing.
Here is my 27th. I definitely look a little more like the 'me' I now am.
One year later, and I guess it was a year I got tattooed quite a lot!
Last year I had a crazy moment of madness and had a modern hair cut. Ugh.
Even though this was a year ago, I still feel that it doesn't really look like me. How odd!
I wonder what I'll decide tomorrow to wear for the big 3-0?!
On a more introspective note....what does 30 mean. When I was younger, being thirty seemed so grown up. And I guess I am; I own a business, live on my own and have a dog. Now that my twenties are over (and they rocked), I wonder what my 30s will bring!

5 "Heroes", 1977
Best Tracks: "Beauty and the Beast," "Joe the Lion," "Heroes," "The Secret Life of Arabia" Of course, "Heroes" has to rank below Low, because it more or less refined the template that Low created. Understand that's not necessarily a dig. For one thing, "Heroes" is never a jarring listen — you really have to pay attention to what's going on to realize how revolutionary this album is. Otherwise, the first half will play out as a standard synthpop. But songs like "Beauty and the Beast" incorporate such bizarre (yet oddly beautiful) harmonies that you could teach an entire choral class about them. His first album with significant contributions from Brian Eno, ambient songs comprise a large portion of the second half of the album. This time, though, they flow majestically into one another, creating a hypnotic and illusory tapestry.
4 Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), 1980
Best Tracks: "It's No Game (Part 1)," "Ashes to Ashes," "Fashion," "It's No Game (Part 2)" The last time David Bowie was able to bottle lighting throughout an entire album is in many ways a culmination of his most successful attributes: never before had he poured his Berlin trilogy sonics into such musical, pop-oriented material. In other words, the songs still sound weird and the singing is still off-kilter, but the backbeats are strong, funky, and danceable. Some of Bowie's best know classics are here: "Ashes to Ashes" and "Fashion" play back to back. Those will reel you in. But you'll find yourself sticking around for the deep cuts. Dig the vocal-chord-shredding of "It's No Game (Part 1)" or the graveyard-meets-carnival romance of "Because You're Young."
3 The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, 1972
Best Tracks: "Moonage Daydream," "Lady Stardust," "Ziggy Stardust," "Suffragette City," "Rock and Roll Suicide" Oh, man, what a great record! Hokey, tongue-in-cheek fun with all the trimmings and trappings! Naturally, this is the most well known Bowie album and where most people start. A concept album (vaguely), the album chronicles the rise and fall of… yeah, guess it's pointless to explain it any further. Mick Ronson's guitar dominates this album, but it's always tempered with Bowie's ability to concoct brilliant vocals and unbearably catchy hooks. Check out "Moonage Daydream," with equal doses of shark's tooth guitar tones and super smooth space-freak crooning. "Ziggy Stardust" is one of the most brilliant songs ever written, and flows perfectly into the hard-as-diamond "Suffragette City." And who could ask for a better album closer than "Rock and Roll Suicide?" Moving and haunting at once.
2 Low, 1977
Best Tracks: "Breaking Glass," "Sound and Vision," "Always Crashing in the Same Car," "Warszawa," "The Subterraneans" I know, I know… Some of you spiders are going to be bitching about another album that I'm about to get to, and how it should be number two. Here's my reasoning: Ziggy didn't make too many musical advancements that its predecessor hadn't already. Low, however, created it's own genre. David Bowie conceived Low with the intention of writing pop songs dealing with unpopular feelings and ideas. The songs alternately encompass pain, infatuation, humiliation, and confusion. Or, as Bowie himself explains in "Breaking Glass": "You're such a wonderful person, but you've got problems." Texturally, the songs bubble like molten beneath their serene and calm surfaces. The instrumentals that comprise the second half of the album foreshadowed the post-punk and new wave movements by about five years. Truly proof of David Bowie's ability to see into the future of musical trends.
1 Hunky Dory, 1971
Best Tracks: "Changes," "Oh, You Pretty Things," "Quicksand," "Queen Bitch," "Bewlay Brothers" David Bowie's first thoroughly solid album is also his best. The first time Bowie reached out to weirdos, "Changes" speaks to me on a personal level — it convinced me that I would be all right in my darkest hour (boo, hoo, hoo!) From there, things get weirder, with other classics like "Oh, You Pretty Things" and "Life On Mars" leading the maniacal charge. Of course, it's not all dark; even when it's catchy, though, it's weird. Take for example "Queen Bitch," a straight-ahead rocker about breaking up with a drag queen. The record comes to a bizarre end with collapsing folk of "Bewlay Brothers." This album both established (and contorted) Bowie's reputation as a songwriter and hit maker, and is a testament to both personal expression and pop perfection. And that's why it wins out.
There you have it, you freaks and weirdos — the five most classic albums your leader ever released. Quite a wide range of material that spans across Bowie's most productive decade. And, of course, this list was flawlessly compiled by yours truly. However, there may be some of you young American's out there who think you can top my list with one of your own. Well, wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am—I say, bring it on! I know my choices are the best! But before you go trying to ch-ch-change this list, let me add a few honorable mentions. Because, when it comes to Bowie, you can never have enough. I'm sure we can at least agree on that.
Honorable Mentions
Lodger — A step toward the catchier material that dominates Scary Monsters, but still plenty weird.
Aladdin Sane — Bowie's last great glam record. Features the awesomely noisy cover of "Let's Spend the Night Together."
Station to Station — You got to love every freaky album that Bowie created. This one presaged themes he would explore further on the Berlin trilogy albums.
