This Book Isn't Fat, It's Fabulousby Nina Beck
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
KIRKUS REVIEWS called this winning tale of a queen-sized queen bee "Hilarious and fresh." Manhattan It Girl Riley Swain is no pudgy wallflower. She's brash, bold, fashionable, and yes, fabulous. Riley has no qualms about kissing her best friend's crush, or bribing her dad's lawyer. But this spring break, Riley's dad and wicked stepmother are shipping her off to New Horizons, a two-week fat camp in upstate New York. And it's miserable: like military school without carbs. But then Riley gets to know adorable Eric, who sees beyond Riley's tough exterior. Soon, Riley might just realize that maybe it's not her shape that will change at New Horizons. . . but her heart.
Editorial Reviews
Gr 9 Up
During spring break, overweight Riley Swain, 16, is headed to New Horizons, a school "for young ladies" specializing in body-image issues and eating disorders. Despite her best efforts to hide the truth from all of her rich Manhattan friends, a rumor has circulated that she is going to fat camp. She even lies to her best friend, Michael, with whom she is in love, about where she is headed. Upon her arrival at New Horizons she meets Eric, the son of the program director who is totally not her type, but to whom she is attracted. As she and Eric begin to develop feelings for one another, she begins to question her relationship with Michael. Riley is not a likable character and even though she changes drastically, her transformation seems forced. She has been painted as so shallow that it is hard to imagine her doing any type of soul searching. The plot is full of holes, and it becomes confusing to keep track of which boy she likes and why. The author never really addresses the issues of body image, and the story about this teenage love triangle is disappointing at best.-Julianna M. Helt, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA

Okay, so very different cover and title- and very different YA inside. PICK IT UP. It really is fabulous. Riley, the main character is funny, authentic, snarky, and has some important (and not so, lol) things to say. I love that she knows what she wants, and if she doesn't she figures it out and goes after it. This book deals with the issue of not being 'perfect' size, but being okay with it. It has an important message and more people should listen! The side characters are rich and have personality. They all have a purpose and something definite to bring to this book. From her frenemy, to her roomate at camp. I also like D, the best friend. It is fun to go on that journey with her and discover things about friendship and love. Eric is amazing- he is funny, easy to like, and has some amazing lines. I'd love to have him as a book boyfriend. This book made me smile and I totally recommend it.
THIS BOOK ISN"T FAT ITS FABULOUS rite now, m reading this book...n i find this book is very interesting n vry joyfull.....RILEY is soo sweet girl who fell in love in with his bestfrnd(D)......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While at points this book can be fun, if you are looking for any sort of substance or well-developed characters or something new and life-changing, this isn't it. Not that one would expect much from a book called "This Book Isn't Fat, It's Fabulous" anyway. But if you're into the whole living vicariously through rich spoiled brats this will totally be your thing.
Riley Swain thinks she's in love with her best friend, D. It's the night before their spring break, and she confronts D with her feelings. She manages a real kiss with D, and then leaves him hanging. For Riley is going to fat camp for the two-week break. She knows this is just another maneuver by Elizabeth, her future stepmother, to get her out of the apartment.
Of course, Riley can't tell her friends that she's off to New Horizons in upstate New York. Instead, she lies and tells them she's off on a spa holiday with her father and Elizabeth. To cover her tracks, she has to actually make a reservation ($3000, will her father notice it on the credit card?) at the spa in case her nosey friends check up on her.
So Riley arrives at the train station a few hours late. Can they fault her for leaving her cell phone back in the limo and having to fetch it before getting on the train? While waiting at the train station for someone from New Horizons to pick her up, a strange boy (with nail polish, no less!) starts talking to her. He seems harmless enough, and she's surprised when she finds out Eric is actually there to pick her up.
Arriving late at New Horizons does not endear Riley to the headmistress. Riley starts off her two-week "holiday" with one demerit to her name. She learns that three demerits sends her packing home.
Riley is not fat. She's comfortable in her size-12 body, and easily gets along with boys. But Elizabeth chose New Horizons and her father seldom sticks up for her these days. So Riley is torn about staying at New Horizons or trying to get kicked out.
It's only when D calls to tell her he's coming to pick her up at the spa to bring her home on her last day, that she hatches a crazy plot to get kicked out of New Horizons so she can return to the city before D can come get her. Afraid that her friends back home would ridicule her for being at a fat camp, she does everything she can to avoid telling the truth. She enlists the aid of Eric, whom she's become friendly with during her week at New Horizons. Little does she know that Eric's feelings are much deeper than she would ever have realized.
This is Ms. Beck's first novel. Riley is a confident girl that knows what she wants. But hidden behind the confidence is indecision and confusion. Riley doesn't want to like New Horizons, but the new friends she has made and the connection with Eric cause her a moment's hesitation. She is afraid to come clean with her friends back home and the help she seeks from her new friends may be pushing her luck.
I enjoyed the quick pace of Riley's life, and Eric's quirky personality was very endearing. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for more by Ms. Beck. This story was fun and amusing with Riley's adventures.
Raley is the funiest. This is by far one of the best books i have read. i dont like reading but i read this book in less than 3 days i could not put it down. Each page made you want to read more and when the book is over youll want more. IT is the best!!
This book was SOOOOO FUNNY!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!!!!! I'm definitely re-reading this book!!!!
This book my aunt picked out and i really don't like reading but i couldn't put this book down for nothing it was the best book i read so far this past summer.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The bongo may not have become a dominant instrument in rock and roll, but Preston Epps very nearly made it so. Epps, who recorded for the Original Sounds label, had a Top 20 hit in 1959 with "Bongo Rock", a driving instrumental that spotlighted his frantic hand percussion over drums, bass, and guitar. This overview of his recordings for Original Sound demonstrates his unique style.

Product Description:
Liner Note Author: Mark Marymont.
Besides Sandy Nelson's "Teen Beat," can you name another instrumental rock & roll hit from the '50s that features the drums as its lead instrument? The answer is Preston Epps' "Bongo Rock," which put Epps' frantic bongo-slapping in the Top 15 in 1959. The follow-up single, "Bongo Bongo Bongo," was a minor hit that set Epps' bongo artistry to a lazy boogie beat. Bongo Rock reissues Epps' Top 40 album Bongo Bongo Bongo in its entirety along with a few cuts from singles. Many of the tracks exude a mellow exotica vibe with flutes and, in one case, jungle sound effects, placing the emphasis on the "bongo" rather than the "rock." The disc is just a little over a half-hour in length, which leads one to wonder why Epps' 1963 album, Surfin' Bongos -- which was made for the same label as the rest of the material here -- wasn't included. ~ Greg Adams

Our new survey tells us that up to 50% of online shoppers this year will use their mobile device. Good news is that most retail stores that have an online store now also offer a mobile version, e.g., http://m.gap.com, http://m.jcpenney.com, http://m.bestbuy.com. In the past years we have done a deep dive web performance analysis on the desktop versions of these sites and blogged about it. This year we took a look at the mobile sites and found some "terrible" website performance mistakes that will most likely frustrate the mobile shopper. The "highlights" (or lowlights) that we found are:
- 87 roundtrips from 25 different domains for a single mobile page
- 28 redirects from the mobile site to the desktop site for downloading JS and CSS
- 2.5MB of page size for the shopping cart
Some pages are already optimized for mobile - but some critical pages are overloaded, have too many roundtrips and are therefore really slow on mobile devices
How and What We Analyzed
To be frank - we used free available tools such as the dynaTrace AJAX Edition for analyzing the performance of desktop websites, but navigating to the mobile version of the site instead of using special mobile diagnostic tools. We did however modify the user-agent string using tools such as Fiddler to simulate mobile devices such as iPad, iPhone or Android devices. The goal was not to find rendering or JavaScript related issues (though we found some) but rather checking whether these pages made sure that content is delivered in a mobile optimized way. This type of analysis can be done with desktop tools as well.
In our analysis we walked from the mobile homepage through the product catalog. We added one product and then moved to the shopping cart to verify our items were there but then removed them.
The Good and the Bad Things We Found
We found several issues as listed in the initial paragraph. To not only highlight the bad patterns we will also show examples of mobile websites that follow the mobile web performance best practices. The #1 rule for mobile web sites is to keep roundtrips to a minimum and also download content from as few as possible domains as it is expensive to establish the connections, because latency is much higher on mobile devices than wired connections and because bandwidth is typically not comparable with your desktop's connection. Here are 3 violations we found on multiple sites:
Click here to read more about the top three performance violations and what to do about them:
- Violation #1: 87 Roundtrips from 25 Different Domains
- Violation #2: 28 Redirects on a single page
- Violation #3: 2.5 MB of Page Size for Shopping Cart
Summary: Tips for Mobile Web Sites
Most examples from above are "low hanging fruit" when it comes to fixing them. It is just following known best practices for web performance optimizations. Good news is that there are tons of tools out there that can help you. As you can see from this blog - you can even do testing on your desktop as the things you want to optimize can be seen with tools such as dynaTrace AJAX Edition, YSlow or PageSpeed. There was a great presentation from Ilya Grigorik on Faster Websites: Crash Course on Web Performance.
Follow up blog on a site that you struggled with.

Major trends and emerging technologies – from virtual reality and IoT, to Big Data and algorithms – are helping organizations innovate in the digital era.

The vision of a connected smart home is becoming reality with the application of integrated wireless technologies in devices and appliances.

One couldn't have scripted a better end to former San Antonio Spurs center, and Hall of Famer, David Robinson's NBA career with an NBA title in 2003. It was the perfect ending to an outstanding career for Robinson but according to him, going out on top is overrated.
Robinson was a guest on ESPN's "Mike & Mike" where he touched on the topic.
"Keep doing it," said Robinson. "I don't care what everybody else says, you should've retired three years ago. Keep playing as long as you want."
Now comes the question many Spurs fans are thinking – should Tim Duncan leave the game the same way as Robinson did? It would be a great storybook ending for Duncan (as it was for Robinson) but after all TD has done, does he need to prove himself with title No. 6?
And speaking of Duncan, here is what Robinson had to say about his former teammate.
"Tim Duncan is the best player of our generation." – @DavidtheAdmiral pic.twitter.com/TniEULjjFD

Above is a screen shot of the National Republican Senatorial Committee's website.
They want you to give them money to fight "former Republican" Arlen Specter.
But up until he switched two weeks ago, the NRSC supported Arlen Specter.
At least Arlen was an incumbent Republican at the time.
But given all of that, why the heck should we trust their judgment on Charlie Crist?

The Hollywood Theatre is showing some movie called The Warriors tonight. Sounds like it could be sorta interesting. Maybe I'll go. I dunno...
Ok, let me be clear. The Warriors is one of the greatest films ever made. Period. I love this movie so much that when Penelope Spheeris suddenly asked me to name my favorite movie over dinner one time, my mind went blank and all I could do was swallow the rest of my beer and stammer, "The Warriors!" This sweaty mythological cartoon odyssey set against a grimy bygone New York City background is so tautly edited and brilliantly directed that it barely gives you a moment to exhale. In fact, the blitzkrieg pace of this film is so awesomely overwhelming that you almost don't realize you're watching a modern retelling of Homer's epic poem (or Xenophon's Anabasis, whatever, I don't read anyway). But that's exactly what you're watching. The Greek chorus is replaced with a lippy soul DJ who occasionally reminds us that there is sort of a plot and purpose to the chromatic cascade of violence, the formidable Ajax is played to the hilt by James Remar (Dexter's dad!) who struts around drunk on his own testosterone and the sea hag Sirens are recast as a tough female clique called The Lizzies. Yes, this is the celluloid equivalent of a Frank Frazetta painting. Which is to say, it provides a visceral side effect most commonly experienced as a twitching in the groin and a clutching of the fists. The only bummer about The Warriors is that it is so goddamn good that when the lights come on and you stumble blinkingly back toward home you will be reminded how shitty the world has become. Where is brother Cleon and Swan when we need them? This film triggered a rash of subway crimes and theater violence when it was first released in 1979, and if anyone wants to fistfight in the theater tonight, just heckle the screen like an idiot or forget to silence your phone and I will gladly indulge your wishes. Can you count, suckas?? FTW.

Screenwriter/producer Miguel Tejada-Flores, Dread and Penelope backstage.
Screenwriter Randall Jahnson and son Dylan.
Miguel's selfie.
Here's one we found online by "Lou Velvet."
Another nice one we found online by "Brainkief."
If you were there, you understand the significance of this title frame from Penelope's 35mm print.
Boba Brett, one of the homeless kids from Decline of Western Civilization part 3, is all grown up and he came out Friday for Suburbia.
Are there any punk rock orthodontists out there??
Thank you to EVERYONE who ventured out during a 99 degree heatwave this week to support our historical Wyrd War "Summer Bummer" with the crowned Queen of Punk Rock Cinema, Ms. Penelope Spheeris! Very special thanks to screenwriters Miguel Tejada-Flores and Randall Jahnson for joining us on stage Thursday night for an illuminating and hilarious panel discussion on the making of Dudes (1987), among many other incredible tangents and ruminations. Thanks to everyone at the Hollywood Theatre for their unwavering support and hospitality. Thanks also to young Baron Fox for editing the short films collection, the Academy Film Archive for the beautiful digital restoration from the original 16mm reels, and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts for loaning us the only known 35mm print of Dudes! Last but certainly not least, thank you to Penelope Spheeris for sharing her personal 35mm print of Suburbia and for making this a weekend we will never forget. I was too busy to take any pics, but luckily "Lou Velvet," "Brainkief," Miguel, Penelope, Baron and Meadow remembered to take a few. Here's something else worth remembering: TOMORROW BELONGS TO US!

Two double-feature nights with director Penelope SpheerisThursday August 25:
DUDES (1987) and THE EARLY SHORT FILMS OF PENELOPE SPHEERIS
IT'S SUMMER! Time to hit the wide-open American highway and follow your bliss to your true purpose…or die trying! Join us for a rare 35mm screening of the obscure cult classic Dudes (1987), followed by a panel discussion with director Penelope Spheeris, screenwriter Randall Jahnson and producer Miguel Tejada-Flores moderated by Wyrd War's Dennis Dread. Take a trip with Jon Cryer (Pretty in Pink), Daniel Roebuck (River's Edge) and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) as they slam dance their way across the country à la Easy Rider and bang heads with a redneck biker gang led by Lee Ving (FEAR) and infamous punk rock album cover artist "Mad" Marc Rude. Dudes is a hilarious and heartbreaking saga in the American countercultural tradition popularized by Jack Kerouac's On the Road, boasting a high octane soundtrack featuring W.A.S.P., Jane's Addiction, The Vandals, The Leather Nun and more! We are delighted to screen the only known 35mm print courtesy of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts Moving Image Archives.
7:30pm: Dudes
9pm: Panel discussion with Director, Writer and Producer
9:30pm: Short Films Program
Friday August 26th:
SUBURBIA (1983) and THE EARLY SHORT FILMS OF PENELOPE SPHEERIS
We return with a rare 35mm screening of Suburbia (1983)! Produced by exploitation mogul Roger Corman, Suburbia transcends genre to emerge as an almost anthropological study of the early 80s squatter punk movement of southern California. It has since become something of a rite of passage for nearly every disenfranchised adolescent looking to find their tribe beyond the fringes of the smug status quo. Cigarette burns, nose piercings, head-shavings, slam dancing and Manic Panic dying rituals. It's all here in Penelope's unintentional "How-To" film that has been lovingly embraced by generations of snarling punks throughout the world, even as it has been condemned by hand-wringing parents and the grimacing Moral Majority. The soundtrack features D.I., The Vandals and T.S.O.L. and, naturally, it rules. We will be screening a beautiful 35mm print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive.
Both nights include a very rare screening of the complete short films of Penelope Spheeris, beautifully restored by the Academy Film Archive. The shorts collection is a full 88 minute journey into the creative foundry of one of Hollywood's living legends. A true renegade badass, Spheeris delivered punk rock kicking and screaming to mainstream consciousness with caustic humor and finely attuned sensitivity. In spite of an industry that is especially unforgiving to its female talent, Spheeris unwaveringly pursued her wild visions over the course of four decades…and came out on top! Produced between 1968 and 1972, with the exception of No Use Walkin' from 1998, her short films are a dynamic and inspiring way to experience her creative brilliance as a spiritual misfit and "Outsider" insider. We are extremely fortunate to show them both nights with Spheeris in attendance to illuminate the wild visions of bellbottoms, drag queens, crying clowns and born-to-lose margin walkers that cast the die for her now legendary oeuvre. See the world as it will never be again.
7:30pm: Short Films Program w/ Introduction by Penelope Spheeris
9:15pm: Suburbia
Each night is $11…or get tickets to both nights for the special "punk price" of $18! We mean it, maaaan.

VICTORY! The indomitable A.K. Wilson perfectly summarized our record release party at Enchanted Forest with one beautiful photo. Of course that didn't stop me from posting a ton of other gems from this mind-blowing occasion. Many of the photos here are courtesy of Alyssa Herrman of FOTO PHORTRESS and the rest are by A.K. Wilson and Meadow, as usual, with a few nice ones from Drew Wilson and Jessie Detwiller added for good measure (hope I didn't forget anyone). Who knew our Music From Enchanted Forest LP would sell out before we could even announce the release party? And who knew the release party would sell out in two weeks?? Not us. But we sure ain't complaining. Thanks to ALL of you who came out and shared a dream come true. Very special thanks to Danava, Thrones, Susan Vaslev and Possibly Irish for spectacular performances in a truly enchanted environment. Thank you to founder/visionary Roger Tofte for building a special piece of paradise right along Interstate 5 and to the entire extended Tofte Family for allowing us to celebrate your beloved kingdom in all our spiked denim and leather splendor. Lastly thanks to Jordan Dent and Derek Vaslev for managing the stage and welcoming us so warmly. See ya all real soon, eh?

" My friends and I (20-something women) enjoyed this clean homestay for these reasons-- Budget-friendly. Met very friendly staff who cooked us a great complimentary breakfast, as well as other travelers in the home. The rooms were very clean accompanied with toilet paper, soap and AC. One of the best in our 6 months in India and for a lower cost. The location is great, easy access to the railway and quietly tucked behind a small temple off of a main road close to tourist shopping and restaurants. "- Anonymous

You scour the internet. You maybe ask around the neighborhood.Having found a place that might be the place, you set out on Christmas Eve.

Detour: Holiday Hospitality for Churches
If you are following along with the "Partners in Prayer" Advent devotion guide, you'll see that today's reflection is about the litany of 'I'm not ready' that we're all supposed to be sharing right about now. That piece was extracted from a longer blog post that I wrote two advents ago. Here's the whole thing. I'm reading it today, in the middle of moving and chaos, and thinking how much it still applies. I'm also thinking, hey...a self care day sounds pretty great right about now!I took a … [Read more...]

Til Everyone's Doing It
I received a pretty unpleasant email this morning; and I'm sure a few hundred of my colleagues did too. It was from a man in Illinois who is deeply disturbed by the 'all means all' resolution that came out of the Disciples of Christ General Assembly. He sent a message to, I'm assuming, pastors whose contact info he could find online. He's heard that "everybody's doing it." That all Disciples congregations now let LGBT people into membership and leadership. Using some turns of phrase like "gay su … [Read more...]

text: Dear Jmol people, As a jmol user, I am highly impressed of all the new features that jmol has gotten in the last year, it's becoming an amazingly versatile program. BUT, I just noticed that I really lost track of all the features that have been implemented and are still being implemented. There are a lot of things that I know can be done with the program, but I just don't know anymore where it is written. I know there are the pages of Bob at stolaf, ( http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/ ) and then the interactive scripting examples at http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/examples-11/new0.htm or "new.htm" or new1 or new2. And then, for isosurfaces there is http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/examples-11/isosurface.htm and for surfaces there is http://jmol.sourceforge.net/docs/surface/ And then there is the wiki.... Jmol doesn't have the in-script help like rasmol has I guess, but at the moment having that would probably just mean another heap of work to keep it updated. I really think that it would be a good thing for jmol to have a single clear structure in the documentation. For a versatile program like this, with the amount of features it currently has, it is very important to give the users clear access to these features. The list of functions in http://www.stolaf.edu/academics/chemapps/jmol/docs/ is already very good as a reference, but the lists with interactive examples have the disadvantage that they mostly show the functions in the new version, of which there are a lot :) I guess it would be useful to have therefore interactive pages with examples corresponding each of the entries in the reference. Then, next to the reference, it will be useful to have a page of interactive examples from the point of view of the user, that wants to know how-to do this and this? Of course there the reference is not enough, no new user can know which function-name to look at. The surface page is an example of such a solution. Sorry for the long blurb, but I think it would be an important point to make sure that all the effort done by the developers doesn't get lost. Are there already plans to make a more structured documentation and tutorial? Is there a way to integrate this into the wiki-idea, so it can be done with the help of user contributions? -- greetings, Pim

Founded in 1973, the National Gardening Association (NGA) is the largest association of home, school, and community gardeners in the United States. Our mission is to cultivate new gardeners and help flower and food growing enthusiasts become better gardeners. We accomplish this through our Garden.org website and award-winning publications, and by partnering with other organizations to offer support for school gardening programs, research, and special grants for projects that unleash the power of gardening.
The National Gardening Association has a rich history in magazine, book, and custom publishing. The National Gardening magazine was known for its 20 years of cutting edge, high quality gardening information and design innovation. NGA has worked with many book publishers to create more than 40 practical and inspirational gardening books.
Over the past forty years, NGA's support of youth gardening programs has allowed us to develop significant expertise and a rich base of knowledge so that we can provide the resources and information needed to implement successful, self-sustaining garden programs. This mission continues through KidsGardening.org. Through Garden in Every School Initiative™ we have provided funding and support to over 10,000 youth garden programs across the United States and internationally, worth approximately $4 million and directly reaching an estimated 2 million youngsters. Nearly 60% of our school grant winners have been from low-income communities, many in districts where almost all of the students receive federal assistance. NGA's garden programs have contributed to successful environmental education, health, and academic studies implemented in wide variety of learning environments. Learn more about KidsGardening.org's grants and awards programs.
NGA provides extensive educational materials and a host of free resources both online and through our educational catalog operation. The kidsgardening.org website provides the most comprehensive collection of youth gardening content available online, offering free lesson plans, activity ideas, and classroom how-to guides to help teachers nurture healthy, environmentally conscious youth. KidsGardening.org partners with leading educational institutions including Teachers College of Columbia University, UC Berkeley, and St. Michael's College to supply outstanding curricula.
NGA is a key consultant on the benefits and implementation of school garden programs. We have consulted with First Lady Michelle Obama's office on her Let's Move initiative and the White House Children's Garden. NGA has also been asked to speak about our programs and methodologies at the CDC, USDA, and Institute of Medicine. NGA's educators regularly attend and present at national and international youth gardening conferences, including the "Gardens without Limits" conference in Metz, France, connecting with garden program directors around the world. Our resources have benefited educators across the country and around the globe, many of whom rely upon our curricula, programs, and funding.
Our mission is to help home gardeners grow -- in health, knowledge, environmental awareness, and enthusiasm. In the many ways the National Gardening Association reaches gardeners, we help make home and community gardens greener and more productive. From vegetables, herbs, and fruits to trees, lawns, flowers, and houseplants, we provide people with the information they need to get started in the world of gardening and grow and maintain thriving, sustainable, and environmentally responsible food gardens and landscapes.
On our www.garden.org website, gardeners can access a vast and rich resource of articles, information, community features, gardening research, software tools, and all manner of gardening content to find how to grow all kinds of plants, identify and control pests and diseases, or figure out what kind of weeds are sprouting in the garden.
At the center of the site is the world's largest and most complete plant database, containing over 375,000 photos of almost 700,000 plants. This interactive feature enables NGA community members to share photos and information about the plants they are interested in, and facilitates discussion centered around those contributions. Detailed information, such as parentage, bloom color, hardiness, etc., is present for most plants in the database, and a powerful search engine lets visitors find plants by querying for these specific characteristics.
Daily ideas and expert articles, and a weekly podcast are posted to the site, and a weekly email newsletter containing all the best content from the previous week, along with the best photos posted to the database, and much more, is sent out to the members every weekend.
The site also features numerous web tools for gardeners, including a useful gardening planting calendar, reviews of gardening companies, and dozens of highly active forums are available for gardening inspirations and conversation.
Online membership to the NGA is free and available to all. Join today!

This is dedicated to the great American musician Prince
Prince's solo career from 1987-1991
Prince is a popular American singer who has been a major figure in popular music for more than three decades. He is known for his wide vocal range, eclectic work, and great stage presence. He is regarded as the pioneer of Minneapolis sound. His music is a blend of rock, soul, funk, hip hop, R&B, disco, jazz, pop and psychedelia.
Prince developed an interest in music at a very early age. He wrote his first song at the age of seven. He recorded songs with his cousin's band 94 East. In 1978 he released his debut album 'For You'. Prince has sold more than 100 million records globally. He is one fo the best-selling artists of all time. He has won several awards including seven Grammy Awards, one Golden Globe and one Academy Award. His name was included into the 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' in 2004. Rolling Stone has ranked him number 27 on it's list of '100 Greatest Artists of All Time'. His career was a roller coaster ride. He is a firm believer that every parent should help his kid how to learn guitar. Here, we will look into his solo career from 1987 – 1991.
His became famous with his band The Revolution which later disbanded. Before the disbanding of The Revolution, Prince was working on two projects for the band. One was Teh Revolution album 'Dream Factory' and the other is solo 'Camille'. The album 'Dream Factory' had great input from the band members. In the 'Camille' project Prince created a new persona by singing in a speeded-up, female-sounding voice.
As The Revolution disbanded, Prince combined materials from these two albums along with some new songs and made a three-LP album named 'Crystal Ball'. Warner Bros., however, asked Prince to shorten his triple album to a double album and titled it as 'Sign ''O'' the Times' which was released in 1987. The album became No. 6 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It's first single, 'Sign ''O'' the Times' was No. 3 on the Hot 100 list. The single 'If I Was Your Girlfriend' didn't do well and was at No. 67 on the Hot 100 list. The third single was a duet with Sheena Easton called 'U Got the Look' which secured No. 2 position on the Hot 100 list. The single 'I Could Never Take the Place' took No. 10 spot on the Hot 100 list. The album sold 3.2 million copies. Prince promoted the album world wide with his world tours. His venture was successful.
His next album to be released was 'The Black Album'. This was a more instrumental and funk album. In this album, Prince experimented with hip hop music on the songs 'Dead on It' and 'Bob George'. He made the cover of the album monochromatic black with only the catalog number printed. After 500,000 copies were pressed, Prince got a spiritual epiphany that the album was evil and so it's release was stopped.
The album was later released by Warner Bros. in 1994 as a limited edition album. Prince worked for eight weeks in his studio and recorded the album 'Lovesexy'. The album was released in 1988 and it was a spiritual opposite to the dark' The Black Album'. The album reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200. The single 'Alphabet St.' was at No.8 spot on the Hot 100 list. The album sold 750,000 copies worldwide. He went to Lovesexy World Tour with some of the members of his band The Revolution. Their shows were popular, but they lost a lot of money due to their expensive sets and props.
Prince appeared on Madonna's studio album 'Like a Prayer' in 1989. He had co-written and sang the duet 'Love Song'. He also played electric guitar on the songs 'Keep It Together', 'Like a Prayer', and 'Act of Contrition'.
He started working on various musical projects like 'Rave Unto the Joy Fantastic' and 'Graffiti Bridge' film. Both these projects were kept on hold as the Batman director Tim Burton asked Prince to record a number of songs for his upcoming movie.
Prince produced the whole nine-track album 'Batman' which was released by Warner Bros. in 1989. It topped the Billboard 200 chart and sold 4.3 million copies worldwide. The single 'Batdance' topped the charts too. In 1990, Prince went to his 'Nude Tour'. His Japanese and European tour was a financial success. During that year, he completed the production of his fourth film 'Graffitti Bridge' and the album 'Graffitti Bridge' as well. The album reached No. 6 spot on the Billboard chart. The film was a box office flop grossing just $4.2 million.
In 1991, Prince formed his new band 'New Power Generation'. The album 'Diamonds and Pearls' was released in 1991. It reached No. 3 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The album had four hit singles. During 1990 and 1991, Warner Bros. attempted to release a 'greatest hits' compilation. But the project didn't happen till 1993.
Besides his singing abilities, Prince is one of the most talented multi-instrumentalists. Rumors say that he had played all 27 instruments that on his debut album. As a live performer, he focuses on guitar, bass piano, drums, harmonica and lead vocals. On recordings, he plays keyboards, drums, guitar, saxophone, etc.
Prince had a good solo career from 1987 to 1991. He went to a number of world tours and his fan base increased. He became successful financially as well.
5 biggest Prince music hits ever
Prince is an icon on Billboard's Hot 100 songs chart. He has recently been awarded with Billboard's Icon Award due to his impressive array of hits which includes five No. 1s. Here are the five biggest Prince music hits ever.
"When Doves Cry" Prince and the Revolution
This is Prince's 1984 hit the storyline of which involves a rough parental dynamic and an extremely passionate relationship with a new love. This track is different from the other soundtracks of his film 'Purple Rain'. This song ruled the Hot 100's top spot for five weeks. This songs still rules as his No. 1 song that ran for the longest time. The song was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America; it shipped two million units in the USA. The song was written for the film the Purple Rain in which Prince was asked by the director of the film to write a song to match the theme of a particular segment of the film which involved intermingle parental problems and a love affair. This song was said to be inspired by his relationship with 'Vanity 6' member Susan Moonsie.
"Kiss" Prince and the Revolution
This hit song is from 1986's 'Parade'. In this song, Prince mentions about what is required to rule his world. He tells that wealth and dirty talks are not important, but availability and maturity are vital. He talks about women not girls in this track. This is a smooth and funk-influenced track. The song was on the top of the Hot 100 list for two weeks.
The song started as a short acoustic demo consisting of a single 12-bar blues verse. The song was given to the funk band Mazarati. Mazarati reworked on the song and showed it to Prince. Prince was so impressed by the final version that he decided to keep the song to himself.
"Let's Go Crazy" Prince and the Revolution
This is a rock song about life released in 1984. He opens the track song with 'dearly beloved' and lovely organ chords. Then he blasts into more beautiful guitar riff. This is a song from his album 'Purple Rain' and it has been on the number 1 spot for two weeks. This song was the opening track of both the album and the film 'Purple Rain'. It is one of the favorite songs for all his concert performances.
"Cream" Prince and the N.P.G.
The song is full of fun and naughty lyrics. It includes lines like "You've got the horn so why don't you blow it?" This is a mid-tempo and sexy song from the 1991's album 'Diamonds and Pearls'. It was on the top spot of Hot 100 list for two weeks. Prince revealed that he wrote the song while standing in front of a mirror.
"Batdance" (from "Batman") Prince
This is a 1989 track which was the main song of the blockbuster film 'Batman'. The song was a little unconventional and had transitions from rock to funk to hip-hop. There were sound snippets from Batman and the Joker that were heard over the beats. This was a brilliant combination which made the song a number one hit. 'Batdance' was actually a last-minute replacement for a dark track titled "Dance with the Devil", which Prince felt was too dark. The track 'Dance with the Devil' is still unreleased.
All these songs were extremely popular and had been on the number one spot of top charts for many days. People still love these songs for their distinct lyrics, music and use of instruments.
3 most successful Prince albums of all times
Prince is one of the greatest solo pop artists in American history. He has an unprecedented skill set. He sings, writes, arranges, dances and performs. He has tatoos on his body, has fantasy and divine devotion. Over the years Prince has managed to attract millions of fans through his music and performance. Not many pop artists have reached to his level of popularity. He has given us dozens of evergreen albums and great soundtracks. When he was at the peak of his career, he was a one-man record industry. Here are the three most successful Prince albums of all times.
Purple Rain (1984)
This is the best Prince album. No matter where you play it or how many times you play it, you will enjoy it every time. This album is simply timeless. This album is more than a soundtrack. The album contained five hit singles with 'When Doves Cry', ' Let's Go Crazy' and 'Purple Rain' securing number one and number two positions. Prince's favorite song in this album was 'The Beautiful Ones'.
Sign O' the Times (1987)
This album was released at a time when Prince started to slip from the mainstream's radar. Every song on this album is brilliant. The songs have a lot of varieties in them. 'If I Was Your Girlfriend' was the most popular song in this album.
Graffiti Bridge (1990)
It was both an album and a movie and both were released in 1990. The album was hugely popular. Its song 'Joy In Repetition' was a big hit. Many of the songs in this album are either re-recorded versions or unreleased tracks, or songs that were meant for other projects initially.
The success of all these albums is simply the result of many years of hard work, and a strong sense of self-confidence. These albums will remain on the hearts of Prince fans forever.

Israeli-born Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi, who runs an outreach organisation in the United States, was due to speak at Od Yosef Hai in Hendon, north London next month.
The Beth Hamidrash Hagadol Synagogue in Leeds is going into the bakery business to satisfy a local kosher need.
BHH intends to open a bakery by the end of March — with a coffee shop to follow after Pesach — in the entrance area of the synagogue complex in what was once the home of the defunct drama group, Limelight. It will stock artisan bread and challah and pastries and cakes.
The flooding in the Thames Valley areas has impacted on Maidenhead Synagogue and its members. Some have been unable to attend shul because they could not leave their flooded properties.
Britain's oldest synagogue, Bevis Marks, is set to enjoy a more prominent spot on the tourist map after being recognised by the National Trust.
The 300-year-old Sephardi synagogue has been accepted as a partner of the trust, which will now promote it as a place of interest.
Come the spring, members of Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue will be able to enjoy a cappuccino and latte within its walls.
Building has begun on a multi-purpose room whose primary use, explained Rabbi Aaron Goldstein, "will be a café open to members and their friends".
