When Daniel Smith began playing music with his siblings in 1995 as part of a senior thesis project at New Jersey's Rutgers University, his inspiration was God. And so it's been since then. On the handful of records he's made both as leader of the Danielson Famile (a rotating ensemble containing Smith family members as well as friends and acquaintances) and on his own as Brother Danielson, Smith has explored his relationship with Jesus Christ in great detail.
For his latest project, Ships, Smith also took inspiration from another source: Danielson: A Family Movie, filmmaker J.L. Aronson's documentary about the band. "As the movie was happening, I was realizing things about Danielson," Smith says over the phone from his New Jersey recording studio. "Different people have been coming and going in and out of Danielson over the past 11 years. What's the common thread? Me writing songs. My family's available sometimes and not available other times, and friends are available sometimes. So Ships kind of turned into a celebration of that realization."
The celebration became a big one: Ships features performances by more than 25 Danielson associates, including Smith's brothers David and Andrew; his sisters Megan and Rachel; his wife, Erin; and longtime Famile member Christian Palladino; as well as indie music bigwigs such as Sufjan Stevens, Why? and Deerhoof (who served as Smith's backing band on the first six songs he wrote and recorded for the album). It might be the best Danielson record so far. An elaborate production defined by expansive arrangements streaked with strings and horns and keyboards, it takes Smith's cracked indie-pop sound to dizzying new heights where the conviction in his notoriously distinctive voice (it might be described as a sort of nasal whinny) is satisfyingly reflected in the joyful noise swirling around him. Not unlike Stevens's similarly ambitious Illinois, Ships is the rare record in which a highly collaborative process serves to focus and intensify one individual's vision.
Daniel Smith, Dilana
"It's not a new idea," Smith says, explaining that collaboration has always been his modus operandi, even if Ships finds the method functioning on a larger scale. "It's the way I work. Half the story is me writing these songs, usually alone." (Indeed, some of the most compelling parts of Aronson's film capture Smith at work by himself in his basement lair.) "But the other half is really presenting the songs and welcoming as much input as possible."
The outfit Smith is leading on the road this summer is, by necessity, pared down: a six-piece group including two drummers, an organist and a marimba player, doing mostly stuff from Ships, along with a few older numbers. Smith acknowledges that "some of the new songs are pretty big monsters," but that with more than three weeks of rehearsals beneath their belt, he's confident they've got the material down. "It's gonna be a very full sound," he says, the excitement audible in his voice. "There'll be snapping and clapping and singing along." Danielson appears Thursday, July 6, at Walter's on Washington, 4215 Washington Avenue, 713-862-2513.
She's A Star, Baby
A local would-be waits with hard nipples for her big break
We admit we didn't catch last season's Rockstar: INXS until toward the end, when it seemed clear that the cheesy J.D. Fortune (owner of quite the porn name) was poised to win. This year's permutation is Rockstar: Supernova, a "Tommy Lee Project" made up of Lee, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and guitarist Gilby Clarke, late of Guns N' Roses and the MC5. Quoth Lee of the band's name: "It's a bunch of stars colliding. And that collision is a supernova, and that's what we have here."
Riiiight. We had our TiVo set to "thumbs down" -- until we heard that a Houstonian, Dilana (ne Dilana Robichaux), had made the cut and is one of 15 contestants hoping to front Lee's big collision. Dilana, a native of South Africa who moved to Scotland and regularly gigged in the Netherlands, moved to H-town in 2001, where she's been playing spots like Shanahan's Bar & Grill and Mike's Place. When she heard about the Rockstar auditions while recording her album in Holland, she banged out the CD in 75 hours, jumped on a plane for the Austin auditions and rocked the house. The Mark Burnett-produced show debuts this week on CBS, and we were granted a few minutes with Dilana before she was whisked back to the manse where she and the other hopefuls are holed up.
"Our schedule here is so fucking crazy man, you can't breathe." Yeah, living in a decked-out mansion in L.A. must be rough. "Seriously, it's a never-ending job," she says. "If you want to work out -- and that's under supervision -- you have to get up at 5:30 in the morning. We've got cameras and mikes following us around all day long. Then there's rehearsals every day with the house band. I'm in bed by 10:30." Ten-thirty? What kind of rock star life is that? "Dude, you heard my schedule," she says. "When I win, then I can call the shots and say, 'Hey, fuckers, I'm getting up at ten."
True to the Gestapo-esque regulations of a Burnett reality show, the cast is completely cut off from society. "We don't have televisions, computers, telephones," she says. "We know absolutely nothing about what's happening in the outside world. Can you call my boyfriend? Tell him my nipples are hard for him and that I'm dying to see him."
(Slight pause as we jot down the digits for Steve, her boyfriend.)

Dilana has the Rockstar look down. Her long hair is dyed in shades red, pink and a little orange. She rocks a nose ring and piercings under her bottom lip. She has tats everywhere, including a phat ankh on her left shoulder, and she has a penchant for chain-link jewelry. "If they're going just on looks, I've won," she says with throaty laugh.
Besides several guys, she's up against some serious female competitors, such as Dallasite Zayra Alvarez and Austinite Patrice Pike -- who looks a lot more rawker since the last time we saw her, but whatev. There's also the cute Jenny Galt from Vancouver and six-foot-tall Storm Large (seriously, how WWE is that?) from Portland. So who are the ladies who look like they can win it all? "Nobody, baby," Dilana says. "I wanna fuckin' win this thing. Really, whoever wins it, that's great, but I hope a chick wins it. We need a chick rocker out there."
If she wants to be that winning chick rocker, Dilana's gonna have to bring it in front of celeb judges who include Moby, Macy Gray and last year's Rockstar winner, Fortune. But she's not intimidated (especially not, we're guessing, by Fortune). "I'm not starstruck at all," she says. "They'll either love me or hate me, but this is my one minute and 30 seconds -- or however the hell long I have each week -- to show them what I can do. Sure, you get nervous when you get on such a big stage. But at the end of the day, Macy Gray's shit smells the same as mine, you know?"
Sorry, Dilana, what? We missed that. We were talking to Steve about your nipples. -- Steven Devadanam

The parts were packaged by Beck Arnley in separate packages. The two rotors fit my car, but were different. One was squared off where the lug nuts go, and the other was beveled. Also, where the pads meet the rotor, the surface had a different finish to it. I wish the people at Parts Geek had looked at the rotors, and had sent me a pair of matching finishes.

Feeling alone, forgotten or abandoned
In order to grow stronger in self-esteem, you will need to "parent' your inner child who is nurture needy. This inner child lacks the experience of being freely accepted and loved in an unconditional manner.
The SEA (Self??"Esteem Seekers Anonymous) CHILD System is a way in which you can gain some inner healing and increase in the strength needed to pursue ongoing recovery when feeling lonely, forgotten, or abandoned.
The SEA's CHILD System is:
C - Calm
H - Heal
I - Inform
L - Love
D - Direct
C - Calm
When you are feeling ill at ease, depressed, lost, hopeless, or ready to give up on yourself, you first need to calm yourself down. Utilize the TEA, ALERT, ANGER, or LET GO system to help you gain a healthy, rational, and more realistic perspective about what is happening to you.
H - Heal
Second, you need to heal your spirit by placing yourself into a relaxed, quiet, and reflective mood and getting in touch with the inner child who needs nurturing, affirmation, and comforting. Visualize holding this child in your arms as your Higher Power embraces you both.
Healing comes from the recognition that your inner child is not alone in this life struggle. There is the adult ``you' and your Higher Power ready to embrace, care for, and support your inner child. Growing Down: Tools for Healing the Inner Child, Tools for Personal Growth and Tools for Handling Loss by Jim Messina, Ph.D. and the SEA's Twelve Steps are sources of spirituality and inner child growth.
I - Inform
Third, you need to inform your inner child of the positive attributes, competencies, skills and abilities which you possess to enable your inner child to prevail and succeed in any crisis, challenge, or tribulation currently causing the pressure, anxiety, and tension. Positively reinforcing and affirming your inner child is giving yourself the "self-talk' necessary to believe in: I am, I can, and I will statements of encouragement, deservedness, and self-confidence to prevail in your recovery process.
L - Love
Fourth, you need to love your inner child in an unconditional way. You need to embrace your inner child for just being you rather than for what you can do or accomplish in life. Loving your inner child, for being who you are, will continue the healing within necessary to prevail against any current sense of failure, disappointment or setback you may have been experiencing.
D -Direct
Fifth, you need to direct your inner child to take care of you by being there for you when you need it. Direct your inner child to be the beacon of your spirituality and your link with your Higher Power. Direct yourself to remember that you are never alone, abandoned, or forgotten when your inner child and your Higher Power are with you. Your inner child is a source of strength and hope for you when the struggles become overwhelming.

I was kind of freaking out about cutting up the shirts for this - see the thread here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-101105-2.htm
I did make progress today - four blocks, which is more than I managed in the last two weeks. It was still emotionally hard, though.
The pattern is "Flannel Trees and Stars" from allpeoplequilt.com
They are 6 1/2" squares. I am making a few changes - the bow ties they use are the "easy" kind with HST. I hate doing HTS and would rather set in the seams. They are still a pretty easy block. Also I think the proportions look better.
I'm also leaving in some of the structural elements of the shirts intact - the pockets and sleeve plackets. The plackets I'm sewing down with a slipstitch like applique, so that they don't open and expose the batting.

Ubisoft is splashing out a whopping £4 million on marketing for Assassin's Creed III in the U.K.
Unsurprisingly the figure is the most the publisher has spent on the franchise in its entire history, and rivals marketing efforts of the likes of FIFA and Call of Duty.
Senior brand manager Matt Benson told MCV: "Assassin's Creed III is the culmination of three years' hard work from the team which is at the top of its game."
"Our spend is in excess of £4m across marketing and trade activity, which is the largest amount we have ever committed for an Assassin's Creed campaign."
The campaign itself kicks off next month and features TV placements targeting males aged 18-34, and will continue into November. It'll also include online takeovers and billboards placed throughout the London Underground.
Assassin's Creed III is due out in the U.K. on October 31 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game introduces an all-new assassin named Connor Kenway, who finds himself caught up in the on-going struggle between the assassin's and the Templars during the American Revolution.

Craig pulls away away from La Follette
The senior ran for two touchdowns and threw for another as Janesville Craig improved to 3-2 in Big Eight Conference football by pulling away from Madison La Follette, 30-14, Friday night at Lussier Stadium.
Besides the touchdowns, Wright made the play of the game to open the fourth quarter. After Anthony Briggs returned a kickoff 85-yard to bring the Lancers within 16-8, Wright engineered 64-yard drive that was highlighted by a 38-pass to Darian Sharifi on fourth-and-14 from the La Follette 40. Sharifi broke inside, before breaking back outside and hauling the diving catch in front of the left pylon.
�I knew Darian could get there,� Wright said.
Two plays later, Ron Lindgren scored on a 1-yard run up the middle to push the Cougar lead to 23-8.
�Darian Sharifi really stepped up and had a nice game,� Craig coach Ben McCormick said. �The way the ball came out of Cam�s hand, I didn�t think it had a chance of being caught. Darian made a great effort to get to that.�
Sharifi caught all four of Wright completions for 73 yards, including an 11-yard reception in the second quarter, which put Craig on top 9-0. Wright, who sat out the first two games of the season with his injury, added 95 yards rushing on 22 carries. Austin Schleisner led the Cougars with 116 yards on 13 carries.
For the game, Craig rushed for 331 yards , while limiting the Lancers to 42.
�I was extremely proud of our defense,� McCormick added. �They gave up six points. We gave up the other score on a kickoff return. They bent a little bit, but they didn�t break.�
La Follette answered Lidgren�s score, with a 9-play, 73-yard scoring drive, capped by a 6-yard run by Briggs to narrow the gap to 23-14 with 7:34 left.
However, the Craig defense stepped up after Kawon Johnson recovered a Craig fumble at the La Follette 44 with 4:47 left. La Follette turned ball over on downs at the Craig 46, before Wright took off on a 39-yard touchdown scamper on fourth-and-three to finish off the Lancers with 1:35 remaining.
�I knew if we got one more score after that kickoff return our defense was going to stop them,� Wright said.
Janesville Craig 2 7 14 7�30
Madison La Follette 0 0 14 0�14
Scoring summary: JC�Safety, fumble out of end zone. ML�Darian Sharifi, 11 pass from Wright (Speth kick); JC�Cameron Wright, 4 run (Speth kick); ML�Anthony Briggs, 85 kickoff return (Horn pass); JC�Ron Lindgren, 1 run (Speth kick); ML�Briggs, 6 run (pass failed); JC�Wright, 39 run (Speth kick).

The story, set in 1918, concerns a young American couple, Bill (Evan Charest) and Mary (understudy Rachel Noll, subbing for Lindsay Nesmith), who have been courting for several years. But he's violently commitment-phobic and can bring himself to propose to her only after he has enlisted in the Canadian Air Force and is about to leave for France to fight for embattled England. She's smart enough to be angered by his evasiveness, but she's determined to hold onto him, so she volunteers to serve as a nurse in France. They are separated for much of the play, and it's hard to generate much romantic heat between her and her absent and reluctant swain.
So many subplots intervene, involving Mary's hospital duties, Nurse Sarah (Julia McIlvaine) and an eccentric Irish doctor (Rick Dano), and the increasingly decimated fighter squadron to which Bill is assigned—the play's title refers to the rickety fabric-covered planes of the 1918 era—that we often lose track of the lovers. The many short scenes often fail to climax, and awkward pauses to change the heavy scenery further interrupt the action. The only time the piece breaks free into adrenaline-pumping musical exuberance occurs in Act 2, in a Paris cabaret, featuring a spirited can-can performed by choreographer Amy Lawrence, Chrissy Conner, and Tiwana Floyd. There, Bill and Mary are reunited, and he finally overcomes his reluctance to actively pursue her, even if it means going AWOL. When they at last get together, instead of the soaring finale we expect, we're treated to a last scene with no music at all.
Despite his apparent ambitiousness, Gleeson seems to lack the dramaturgical and directorial skills to weld the diverse elements into an effective whole or achieve the dramatic momentum that could generate excitement and make us care about his tale. So the efforts of the large and seemingly able cast—including J.D. Crawford, Lawrence McEvoy, Sabrina Hill, Jovial Kemp, William Knight, Kevin Meoak, and Trent Walker—fail to achieve the payoff their efforts deserve.
Presented by Troy Gleeson Productions at the Secret Rose Theatre, 11246 Magnolia Blvd., North Hollywood.
Sept. 9–Oct. 2. Thu.–Fri., 8 p.m.; Sat., 2 and 8 p.m.

Optimizing International ResearchSunday, July 31, 2011, 21:04 pm No Comments
If you're a clientside researcher working for a multinational company, much of your time is likely spent on multi-country studies. Doing anything across cultures to a high level, including research, is in my view a complex undertaking and requires a high degree of intercultural sensitivity if genuine insights are to be accessed. This goes well beyond offering a great translation service. Here are some thoughts on how to optimize international research:

Hackers Broaden Their Attacks
Lockheed and PBS Join the Roster of Recent Victims as Motives Expand; 'Almost Anyone Is a Target'
Hacking incidents at defense contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. LMT 0.30% and broadcaster PBS that surfaced over the past few days show how widespread corporate breaches have become and underline how any organization can become a victim.
Over the weekend, the website for the PBS show "NewsHour" was altered by hackers to include a fake article claiming that rapper Tupac Shakur, who was murdered 15 years ago, was alive in New Zealand. The hackers also posted login information that stations and other entities use to access PBS sites.
The incident followed a recent breach at Lockheed, which said Saturday evening that it had detected a "significant and tenacious attack" against its computer networks on May 21. The company said it stopped the attack before data could be stolen.
The attacks are the latest in a mushrooming of breaches world-wide. While hackers once generally had targeted companies that stored financial data or had classified government information, culprits today are expanding their sights to other corporate secrets or seeking information that can lead to valuable data down the line. Amateur hackers also are becoming increasingly brazen.
In recent months, hackers stole data from EMC Corp.'s RSA security unit, email marketer Epsilon Data Management LLC, two of South Korea's largest banks and Sony Corp. , where the breach temporarily hobbled its online PlayStation Network.
"Almost anyone is a target," said Alex Stamos, chief technology officer at security firm iSEC Partners. Professional hackers now "have good tools and good technique and know how to string them together," he said. Hackers also are getting better at identifying the soft spots in corporate defenses, he said.
So-called hactivists, who take revenge on companies for perceived slights, also have moved from simply knocking websites offline to stealing data. "There are enough people out there who aren't worried about the consequences that they are willing to wage a sustained campaign against a global company," Mr. Stamos said.
Corporate executives said they no longer can take a passive approach to cybersecurity. Ted Chung chief executive of Hyundai Card/Hyundai Capital Co., an auto finance provider in South Korea that was hacked in April, blamed himself for not paying enough attention to the importance of information-technology security.
"When it comes to big companies or big banks, no CEO is that stupid not to pay attention. But maybe they pay the same attention I did, which is giving encouragement and budget to IT but then saying 'What do I know about programming?' " he said in an interview Monday. "That is the wrong support."
The latest attacks demonstrate a diversity of motives. Those who attacked Hyundai Capital tried to extract ransom for a database they stole. With Epsilon, the hackers made off with email addresses that could be used to send "phishing" emails that trick recipients into disclosing personal information.
At RSA, the perpetrators stole data about security systems that the company sells to its clients. Alone, the data are worthless, security experts said, but they could be used to crack defenses used by other companies.
With PBS, a group identifying itself as LulzSec claimed credit for the fake article on Tupac Shakur, which the group said was retaliation for a documentary, "WikiSecrets," about the publication of classified documents on the WikiLeaks website and the Army intelligence analyst who has been charged with leaking them. "By the way, #WikiSecrets s—," a message to PBS said. While the attack was more akin to graffiti than burglary, it underscored the threats companies now face.
PBS on Monday said it had corrected the false information on its website and was "notifying stations and affected parties to advise them of the situation."
The fake article first appeared late Sunday night on the PBS "NewsHour" news blog, "The Rundown." The group then posted a string of Twitter messages in which it took credit for the breach, beginning with a post that read, "Oh s—, what happened to @PBS?" followed shortly after by the post, "What's wrong with @PBS…? How come their database is seized? Why are passwords cracked? :( ." The group then posted links to pages with the login information for the PBS sites.
Shortly after the story was published, PBS "NewsHour" posted several messages on Twitter stating that the article wasn't produced by PBS and that the site had been hacked.
Separately, Lockheed said Saturday evening that the company's information-security team detected its attack "almost immediately and took aggressive actions to protect all systems and data."
"Our systems remain secure; no customer, program or employee personal data has been compromised," the company said. Lockheed said it was conducting an investigation and that it "has continued to keep the appropriate U.S. government agencies informed of our actions."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Sunday that President Barack Obama had been briefed on Lockheed attack and that the damage was understood as "fairly minimal."
Still, that attack is likely to ripple throughout the defense industry. Lockheed supplies some of the most sophisticated weaponry to the U.S. military and is a major provider of information technology to the federal government. The company, based in Bethesda, Md., also is a top international supplier of military and security hardware, employing around 126,000 people world-wide.
Speculation around the Lockheed attack centered on whether hackers may have breached the system by exploiting a vulnerability in SecurID electronic keys made by RSA. In a memo to employees on Sunday, Lockheed Chief Information Officer Sondra Barbour said the company "took swift and deliberate actions" to step up security, including shutting down a virtual private network, resetting user passwords and upgrading SecurID tokens, among other measures.
In South Korea, prosecutors believe North Korea was behind an attack on a large farm cooperative, which couldn't provide ATM, credit-card and online services for nearly a week after a system at its Seoul headquarters was accessed remotely. How law enforcement tracked the attack to North Korea wasn't disclosed. But authorities said a link was made to the same Internet servers North Korea used in a 2010 denial-of-service attack against South Korean government websites. North Korea called the South's accusation in the latest case "absurd" and "unreasonable."
At Hyundai Capital, a pair of hackers in South Korea gained access to the company's databases and downloaded personal information on 1.7 million customers. After the company contacted police, it agreed to pay part of what hackers sought. Police arrested the hackers after one was recorded by an ATM video camera as the hacker tried to withdraw some of the ransom. The company has since revamped its IT operation and begun an overhaul of its cybersecurity.

INTERVIEW: Jordin Sparks: 'Whitney Loved Her Gays'
Singer Talks Acting Debut, Her Gay Following and 'Mean' Rumors
By Chris Azzopardi
Originally printed 8/2/2012 (Issue 2031 - Between The Lines News)
Whitney Houston's starring role - the last before her tragic death earlier this year - isn't the only reason "Sparkle" has gay written all over it: there's the flamboyant style of the '60s, an all-girl singing group and, well, the movie's name. Seated in a hotel suite outside Detroit, where the film was shot, "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks lights up - applauding, even - knowing how many of her gay fans will see her on the big screen in her movie debut.
Sparks' return to Motown in early August was even more appropriate when Aretha Franklin, who sang on the soundtrack for the 1976 original, showed up to walk the red carpet with the remake's star. Even though she lost a nail, the 22-year-old said having the Queen of Soul there was "absolutely incredible."
About the finger fiasco: "I was freaking out because I looked at the picture of Aretha and me and the nail is gone." That's not a problem today, however. "I made sure I glued these suckers on like nobody's business!"
Ever so bubbly, Sparks also chatted about Whitney's mutual adoration for the gay community, addressed "mean" rumors of her anti-gay upbringing and recalled her first time at a drag club.
What are some of your favorite parts of Motown in the '60s?
I'd already grown up listening to (Motown music) because my grandparents introduced it to me when I was really young. I listened to Diana Ross and The Temptations and all of them, so being here, knowing that's where Motown started, you could feel the energy. I loved singing the music that was like that. And the clothes, come on now! The clothes, the makeup and the hair - it was so much fun to transform into that every single day.
Which outfit do you wish you could've taken with you after "Sparkle" wrapped?
The outfit when I walk into Columbia Records: the hot pink dress with the white stripes on it, when I walk into (label head) Larry Robinson's office. It was my favorite one. It fit so good!
What was it like spending your 21st birthday at a drag club in Dallas?
It was the best thing ever. It was my first time, and I was just beside myself because I had never seen a drag show live before. I was just so amazed at how they transform and lip-sync to a T. So much fun! They were doing these little tiny tube shots and my hairdresser and his partner were there and we were just having a blast. All of us had a great time. I can't wait to go back.
Do you hope there will be a "Sparkle" drag queen?
I'm waiting for it! I'm waiting on them to come out in a red dress like that (points to movie poster) with their hair down, singing to my songs. I can't wait. And hey, Halloween is coming up, too!
What is your fondest memory of being here in Detroit with Whitney?
For me as a singer, growing up and loving her and listening to her so much - just the whole experience was amazing. But also, she was just so open and wanted to get to know us. That was very unexpected.
Was there a specific scene she guided you through?
She was there for a lot of the songs when she didn't need to be there, which was really sweet. One thing she did say was, "Believe in the gift that you have; believe in your talent," because there were times when I was really unsure since I'd never done a movie before. She was like, "Mama's here, it's OK." And she used to call us her babies. When you see us up on that screen and we're telling each other that we love each other, it's genuine. We got to know her and we cherished her. We loved her.
You grew up in Arizona and now you're a part of Hollywood. How did your gay circle change when you made the move?
I didn't know as many (gay people), but I did drama club, and the head of my drama club in the ninth grade - his name was Eric and on the weekends he was Sapphire St. Regis, and he was so amazing! He was the president of the drama club, and so talented and so fun. Then I did community theater, and that introduced me to more. I have some (gay) family members as well, so I've always been used to it.
The rumors of you growing up in a Christian family that wasn't very accepting of gay people are just nonsense, then.
That's all stuff that people write. I grew up in a Christian family, but I have cousins and I have tons of friends (who are gay). Some of my closest friends are actually gay, and some of my band members are, as well. So, for me, I'm just like, whatever! Those are just mean things that people say.
Your boyfriend, Jason Derulo, has a following in the gay community for many reasons. One of those is an It Gets Better video he filmed. Have you thought about getting involved in anything like that?
I would love to. You see people being so hateful toward other people, and I wasn't raised like that. I was raised to love everybody, and some of the funnest times I have had are with my gay friends. So, for me, I am all for it and I would love to do something like that.
Did you make anything of how closely related the name "Sparkle" is to "Glitter," Mariah Carey's infamous film?
If you haven't seen the original "Sparkle" you kind of assume it's a sequel: "Glitter," "Sparkle," sprinkles, fairy dust - they all go together! I hadn't realized it was such a cult classic. I had no idea until I got the part and then I had people coming up to me going, "You better not mess it up." "Is this song on the soundtrack?" But I love Mariah Carey and I hear "Glitter" and I'm like, "I love Mariah!" I think "Sparkle" is definitely very different than "Glitter." (Laughs)
The song "Celebrate" with Whitney Houston could work as a gay anthem. What do you think about that?
Whitney and I didn't get to do it in the studio together because our schedules didn't allow it, but when I recorded my part, I heard her as I was recording and she sounded so happy. Whitney loved her gays. She absolutely loved them. For me, being one of the last songs she did - a song just about loving each other and celebrating each other and it just being so encouraging and uplifting - I think it's one of the best gifts she could've left. I feel like that song is one of the best gifts she could've left for the younger generations who are going to discover her music and discover her - and also for the people who still love her.
Did Whitney talk about her gay fans on set?
No, but her family would tell us. They'd be like, "She loves her gays, honey," and there have been a few other reporters who have interviewed her before and she absolutely represented. Hello! How can you not? I will say, I have Googled "drag queens singing Jordin Sparks." I just love it so much. I think it's the best thing ever. I love watching them sing and sometimes I'm like, "They look better than I do! What is going on here?"
When did you first become aware of your gay fan base?
In the very beginning during meet-and-greets after concerts. There was just a huge array of people: all different races, orientations and ages. I just remember because I didn't think boys would like my music, but I have some straight male fans who love my music and then I have my gay fans that love my music.
More gay than straight?
Yes. Very much so! It's actually really surprising when I have a straight male fan that's like, "Yeah, I love your music." And I'm like, "Really?"
What's coming up for you? A new album?
I'm putting out a new album. I'm working on it now. I've got about seven songs that I'm really feeling strongly about. "Sparkle" is actually giving me the opportunity to do something stylistically different than I did before, so it's going to be a little more R&B. Early Mariah, early Whitney is what I'm going for. That's what I grew up on. So I'm excited to do that.
I'm already filming my next film. It's called "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete," and Alicia Keys is executive producing and Jennifer Hudson is actually in it. It's an indie drama and I don't sing. I just play an Afro-Latina from the Bronx and I just get to be the character. I'm excited to see how that goes.
Not as glamorous as your role as Sparkle?
Oh, she's glamorous! The other day I had my hair pulled back in twists, almost like cornrows, and then my hair was on the side in a huge, curly side ponytail. Then the lashes! And my nails were crazy. She thinks she's so fabulous.Chris Azzopardi is the editor of Q Syndicate, the international LGBT wire service. Reach him via his website at http://www.chris-azzopardi.com.

The current quarter, ending in September, will probably give the Samsung Galaxy S III two more months without being challenged by the 6th generation Apple iPhone, which could launch September 21st according to the latest speculation. With two more months without competition, the Samsung Galaxy S III is supposed to lead Samsung to profits of $7 billion in the current three month period. Analysts say that Samsung could sell 15-20 million more units of the Samsung Galaxy S III in the current period. Revenue in the quarter came to $41.5 billion, up 21% from last year.
In the just released quarter, Samsung handset sales doubled and the momentum should continue with the upcoming sequel to the Samsung GALAXY Note. The Samsung GALAXY Note is a combination phone and tablet often referred to as a "phablet" with a 5.3 inch display. Speculation calls for the GALAXY Note II to have a slightly larger 5.5 inch screen.
Earlier this year Samsung took over struggling Nokia's reign as the top global handset manufacturer. It is estimated to have shipped over 50 million handsets in the second quarter versus 26 million iPhones sold by Apple. Apple's figure was a 26% drop sequentially as some smartphone buyers await the next iteration of the Apple iPhone. But in the meantime, the Samsung Galaxy S III is here now and with a 4.8 inch display, 2GB of RAM in the U.S., LTE connectivity and Android 4.0 aboard, many are asking why should they wait for Apple when they can buy such a formidable model now. The next version of the iPhone could merely match many of the specs that top Android models already sport such as the 4 inch or larger display, LTE connectivity and 1GB of RAM.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - An 18th century cannonball encased in coral was found inside a checked bag at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
TSA agents said a diver had found the old projectile near a shipwreck.
Because the cannonball was still considered explosive, the baggage area was evacuated as a bomb squad investigated.
TSA took possession of the cannonball so it could be safely destroyed.
Three flights were delayed, affecting about 290 passengers.

"We must commemorate the historic steps taken by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., President Lyndon Johnson and other leaders of that era who worked to guarantee equal opportunities for all citizens. We best honor the struggle of the civil rights movement by keeping vigilant in our efforts to build a society that reflects our values of fairness and liberty." Yvette Clarke
Protecting Our Civil Liberties
As we work to prevent future terrorist attacks from occurring on our soil, we must also work to guard our civil liberties and not allow the terrorists to undermine our democracy by an unduly invasive response. Clarke supports an amendment to the 9/11 Commission bill to create a bipartisan Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to advise the Administration on how best to implement new anti-terrorism laws and policies without unnecessarily infringing on the daily lives of citizens.
The federal government should work to protect the public, gather intelligence and safeguard national security, but we must also uphold the due process rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
The 1965 Voting Rights Act Must be Renewed in 2007
In the 40 years since its passage, the Voting Rights Act has guaranteed millions of Americans the equal opportunity to participate in the political process. One of the most successful civil rights laws ever enacted by Congress, the VRA abolished literacy and other tests which had been used to deny blacks and other minorities the right to vote. The genius of the act was not simply that it outlawed discrimination at the ballot box. It also gave voters new tools to ensure fundamental fairness in the voting process. In 2007, some of these important mechanisms will expire unless Congress acts.
Supporting Diversity in Education
Clarke believes it is important to promote diversity in higher education.
Clarke believes the educational experience is enhanced by the interaction between students of diverse backgrounds and he supports the efforts of universities to pursue equal opportunity for all Americans. The Supreme Court ultimately recognized the positive impact that affirmative action programs have on higher education.
Preventing Hate Crimes and Discrimination
Clarke supports the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. This legislation is a constructive and measured response to a problem that continues to plague our nation-violence motivated by prejudice. These crimes are especially destructive because their perpetrators seek not only to harm the individual victim, but to make a statement to an entire community. This legislation will remove these hurdles so the federal government will no longer be constrained to wage the fight against hate crimes with one hand tied behind its back.

Because Blaming the Minority Opposition Party is Easier Than Owning Up to Having Aligned Yourself With a Party For Whom Abortion is a Sacrament
Our old friend Tony A (a.k.a. Morning's Minion) just can't help himself when it comes to waving the partisan flag. It seems he wants to pretend that the Republicans are the biggest roadblock to ensuring that the pro-life Stupak Amendment is part of whatever final health care reform package might come out of a House-Senate conference:
... So, where do we go from here? I think the pro-choice groups were in shock after Sunday's vote, but they are rapidly regrouping. This is not over. There is, however, one way that a bill like this that includes the Stupak amendment can pass – if enough principled Republicans step up to support it. Can it be that Joseph Cao is the only principled Republican on this issue? The pro-life Democrats have proved their mettle. They stood up on principle and faced down the House leadership. Now it is the Republicans' turn. Can at least some of them stand up for universal healthcare that excludes all abortion funding? Can they not follow the lead of the USCCB? Or will they stick to their meaningless and wholly inaccurate slogans like "socialized" medicine and the "government takeover" of healthcare? ...(emphasis added)
Huh? It was pro-life House Republicans who joined with the pro-life Democrats to ensure passage of the Stupak Amendment in the first place. And they voted for the pro-life language despite the fact that its inclusion made passage of a bill they opposed more likely. They, along with the pro-life House Democrats, have more than proven their pro-life bona fides.
So, no, it is NOT the minority "Republicans' turn" to step up and prove anything. The ball is squarely in the court of Tony's own party, which has a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a significant majority in the House. They now have a pro-life health care bill with which to work. The main objection to the bill from pro-lifers and from the Catholic Bishops has now been removed. Now what will THEY do with it? Will they retain the pro-life language and thus preserve the smoothest route to passage of a health care reform bill? Or will they strip the language out to appease Moloch? If they're serious about getting a health care bill, they'll opt for the former.
There is now absolutely nothing stopping such a bill from moving to passage ... except, that is, for the Democrats' own bloodlust for abortion. You see, it seems that there are a significant number of Congressional Democrats who would rather see health care reform fail altogether than have health care reform that doesn't fund abortion.
Ah, but it's the insignificant minority party who stands in the way of meaningful pro-life health care reform getting done. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Next, Tony does his best Kmiec impersonation and tries to pass President Obama off as some sort of stealth pro-lifer:
And what about Obama? I think Obama should encourage all to maintain the Stupak amendment. After all, it fits with what he has said previously, and this has drawn the ire of the pro-choice groups:"Sloganeering over substance"? This from the guy who just a little later makes this comment about Thomas Peters of American Papist:In 1993, Hillary Clinton explicitly told Congress that she expected pregnancy and abortion to be treated in health reform like any other medical service. This year, though, Obama sent a different message, telling Katie Couric in July, "I think we also have a tradition of, in this town, historically, of not financing abortions as part of government-funded health care".Oh, but isn't he supposed to be the most pro-abortion president ever….or is that yet again an example of sloganeering over substance?
Peters cannot be taken seriously. His "American Principles Project" is an ugly neocon Palinist outfit.Tony, ever the man of substance, would never dream of resorting to cheap, shorthand sloganeering that merely amounts to "those other guys over there are bad because they're not part of my tribe".
But let's get back to Tony's assertion that the President is stealthily supporting Stupak's efforts. Uh, uh, uh. Not so fast, Tony. In an interview yesterday with ABC, the President indicated that Stupak might have to be scaled back in order to provide more "balance":
TAPPER: Here's a question a lot of Senate Democrats want to know. You said, when you gave your joint address to Congress, that under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions. This amendment passed Saturday night which not only prohibits abortion coverage in the public option, but also prohibits women who receive subsidies from taking out plans that -- that provide abortion coverage. Does that meet the promise that you set out or does it over reach, does it go too far?(emphasis added)
OBAMA: You know, I laid out a very simple principle, which is this is a health care bill, not an abortion bill. And we're not looking to change what is the principle that has been in place for a very long time, which is federal dollars are not used to subsidize abortions.
And I want to make sure that the provision that emerges meets that test -- that we are not in some way sneaking in funding for abortions, but, on the other hand, that we're not restricting women's insurance choices, because one of the pledges I made in that same speech was to say that if you're happy and satisfied with the insurance that you have, that it's not going to change.
So, you know, this is going to be a complex set of negotiations. I'm confident that we can actually arrive at this place where neither side feels that it's being betrayed. But it's going to take some time.
TAPPER: Do you think that amendment is status quo or does it lean a little bit in one direction or the other?
OBAMA: I think that there are strong feelings on both sides. And what that tells me is that there needs to be some more work before we get to the point where we're not changing the status quo. And that's the goal. The goal here is to make sure that people who have health insurance have greater stability and security, people who don't have health insurance get the ability to buy it affordably and that we're driving down costs. And, you know, I think everybody understands that there's going to be work to be done on the Senate side. It's not going to match up perfectly with the House side...
Looks like the Stupak language is in big trouble with the members of Tony's party. So, then, let's get back to Tony's question: What ARE the next steps? Well, the first step is to stop bashing the insignificant minority in opposition and start holding your own party's feet to the fire. For example, what is the price you're willing to make the Democrats pay if they successfully strip Stupak out of the final health care reform package? Not that I actually believed that he would follow through, but Michael Sean Winters had the right idea a few months back when he threatened:
... if the President or my representatives in Congress support federal funding for abortion in any way, shape or form, I will never vote for them again and I might risk my right hand in the next election by voting for their opponent ...Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it. But Winters is on the right track. So, I ask again: Is there going to be a price to be paid by Democrats among their Catholic and pro-life supporters if they successfully strip pro-life language - language that is already currently in the House version of the bill - if they strip that language out to appease the abortion advocates in their party base?
And what of the Catholics in Congress who might vote to strip out the Stupak language? It's one thing to claim to be personally opposed, but ... ; it's quite another thing to vote to remove pro-life language from a bill for the purpose of allowing federal funds - taxpayer dollars - to pay for abortions. At that point, those Catholic politicians will have crossed the line into formal cooperation with an intrinsic evil.
And above and beyond how the "progressive" lay Catholic will react to such a move, how will the Bishops respond to Catholic politicians who vote to strip from the bill the same pro-life language for which the Bishops have so strenuously lobbied? Regardless of how the Bishops respond, it is clear that there are some members of Tony's party who are issuing threats and looking to legally punish the Bishops for their "bullying" tactics and "political interference" in the debate thus far.
In Tony's defense, if these were the people with whom I had politically aligned myself, I suppose I'd be trying to change the subject, too, by continually hammering away at the out-of-power, out-of-favor, and out-of-ideas minority party.

Dubai club Al Wasl sack Maradona
Former Argentina World Cup-winning captain Diego Maradona has been sacked as coach of United Arab Emirates club Al Wasl.
The 51-year-old, who agreed a two-year contract with Al Wasl in May 2011, was dismissed following a meeting of the club's board on Tuesday.
Al Wasl failed to win any silverware under Maradona during his season at the helm, slipping to eighth in the 12-team UAE Pro League from sixth the previous season.
They also lost in the final of the Gulf Champions League to Bahrain side Al Muharraq and enjoyed little success in domestic cup competitions.
Under Maradona, Al Wasl were knocked out of the UAE league cup at the semi-final stage by Al Ahli, the eventual winners, and failed to progress past the second round of the President's Cup.
Maradona's sacking continued his modest record as a coach, in complete contrast to his playing career.
Maradona led his country to the 1986 World Cup and enjoyed domestic title successes in Argentina, Italy and Spain but as a coach he has yet to achieve any such highs.
He had brief spells with Mandiyu and Racing Club in his home country in 1994 and 1995 respectively but neither proved fruitful, and although he led Argentina to the World Cup finals in 2010 his side, including Lionel Messi, lost 4-0 to Germany in the quarter-finals.

B. Toys is an eco-friendly company that creates toys to inspire individuality and creativity in children at play.
Sweet T woke up one morning last week to a big surprise. A Zany Zoo wooden activity cube from B. Toys! She wouldn't even let me get it completely out of the box before she starting playing with the loopty-loo routes.
I grew up with a carpenter for a father and I've been married to a carpenter for the past 9 years. I saw this so you won't think it strange what I first noticed about the Zany Zoo.
1. Weight and quality of the toy – the majority of the cube is made from solid wood with the exception of the four sides which are MDF . The Zany Zoo weighs in at over 13 pounds! Sweet T can confidently pull up and cruise around this activity cube without tipping it over.
2. Blunt corners – The top corners are beveled to protect little ones from hurting themselves.
3. Construction materials – in addition to real wood, metal screws and metal loopty-loos are used. You won't find any plastic on this toy.
In addition to being durable and high quality, the Zany Zoo is is also original and creative. Each of the four sides of the cube are designed to engage and educate your child.
I love how the alphabet blocks have unique animals on them like narwhal, x-ray fish, and carp. Another great thing about the Zany Zoo activity cube is the that there are so many different ways for a child to play with it depending on his or her age. Sweet T's hands-down favorite right now is the loopty-loos, but in a few months I'm sure another aspect of the toy will interest her more.
The Zany Zoo from B Toys would make an excellent gift for any child ages 1-3. This toy is durable enough to last through several siblings and probably even a second generation! You can find the Zany Zoo and other B. Toys at Target stores nationwide and online.

Black Diamond AMPerage
Super playful skis. Stable, will never let you down. Those skis have been following me for five years now. Big mountain, backcountry skiing, skins, name it. They are stable and durable, very playful skis. I am able to go on powder as much as groomed resort skiing (great on ice too!). The only downside from my experience is that the aesthetic coating of the ski peels off on the ends where I clip my skins. But other than that, great product. Full review
Shred Slam Cap NoSeason
A lightweight, all-season helmet featuring the latest in safety technology. This helmet has the best fitting system I have ever worn. Warm when needed with excellent ventilation. I was lucky enough to score a Shred Slam Cap NoSeason helmet early in the ski season in order to give it a through testing. I had been hoping for some time to get the chance to check out a helmet that featured the latest in helmet safety. This multi-sport helmet is certified to meet the latest US and EU regulations for… Full review
G3 Expedition Skin
Decent traction but a bit less glide than other brands. Tip metal loops need RIVETING to stay attached! Tail clips are fine. My G3 Expedition skins are 10 years old but still work OK even though getting worn down a bit and needing seasonal re-applications of glue. My gripe is that the metal loops (which must be sized for your wide or narrow ski tips) tend to let go when the self-glued skin that doubles back to hold them lets go. I had to rivet my loops in place. Newer style "tip pockets" may be… Full review
Smith Men's Vantage Helmet
Best helmet on the market in my opinion! The Vantage was designed for hard-core skiers/riders; it features an amazing ventilation system, BOA on the fly adjustment system, and Koroyd aerocore construction which makes it one of the lightest snow helmets on the market. Testing I purchased this helmet at the beginning of the 2016-17 ski season and have now used it for 22 days of skiing in conditions that vary from extremely cold (-15 degrees) to temps just below freezing. On a couple of occasions I've… Full review
Meindl Nordic 3-Pin Backcountry Leather Ski Boots
Telemarking is not dead and neither are these boots. Incredible value for money, these boots have lasted me over 30 years. Not much of my gear has done as well as these boots. But after 30 years I am ready for an upgrade. I bought these beautiful Meindl duckbill 3-pin or 75mm boots in the 1980s. They cost a lot of money back then. Pulled them out again this year for a short cross-country / back-country adventure and they still impressed. I never dreamed that they would last 30 (+) years, but they… Full review
Line Skis Mastermind
Great short, light skis for skinning and riding most conditions. These skis came to me via Craigslist. They had been purchased and mounted with touring bindings in 2014 and never ridden for two years. I drove across the state to swoop up this deal. These are the first brand-new skis I have purchased. I got them in 172cm, which is a little short for me but that was sort of the plan since I am a moderate skier and I intend to carry them places. Dimensions: 115/85/112 (@172cm) More specs: http://www.skis.com/Line-Mastermind-Skis-2014/314376P,default,pd.html… Full review
Blizzard Zero G 95
Light and stiff tails, hold an edge like crazy. Only skied one day on them. So solid. Grip a solid surface at any speed. Would love to ski them on some pow. So light they are easy turn in tele or alpine. Full review
Garmont Voodoo
Love this boot for lift skiing on and off piste. I do 50% alpine and 50% telemark. I crank it tight when doing the tele and then loosen off the buckles for the alpine. Voodoo is stiff in all the right places. It handles a big ski (191 Faction 13). Only downside might be that it loosens up a bit as the day goes on. have to keep tightening up a notch. I love the fact that the clips lock in place when you loosen the buckles going up the lift. Love 'em! Great boot, did have it punched out where ankle… Full review
Giro Range MIPS
The Giro Range MIPS helmet is a great option for a skier focused on in-bounds resort skiing who occasionally hits the skin track. MIPS technology provides an extra layer of assurance while the Conform Fit technology provides for a customized fit. Overview: I tested the Range MIPS helmet by Giro while skiing in Northern New Hampshire during the winter of 2015-2016. There was not a lot of snow in the backcountry, but the resorts were able to make enough for this skier to get some time on the hill. … Full review

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for TechSoup, San Francisco, CA, USA
For the past 11 years Tech Soup has been a tremendous support for our non-profit. We are able to get Microsoft products that we could not afford to buy for our operations. We are able to refer other non-profits to Tech Soup so they can buy software that we cannot furnish. I use the web site for information on topics such as web site development and comparing the various free tools that are available. Tech Soup hosts many educational manuals so that I can refer others to their site. Software, webinars, hardware and information are just a few of the reasons that Tech Soup is a leader in supporting non-profits.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Can't think of anything. They are very professional and supportive of non-profits.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Congresswoman claims a Filner groping (years ago)
Former San Diego mayor allegedly went in for a kiss
Don Bauder 5:30 p.m., Nov. 20
Thursday 22
The all-star garage group the Rosalyns (featuring members of the Loons, the Schitzophonics, Gore Gore Girls, New Kinetics, and Chinese Rocks) will headline sets at Casbah after Diddley Daddies, Grim Imperials, and Two Wolves (Dos Lobos?). Debuting at Ugly Things magazine's 30th anniversary weekender last year, the Rosalyns pay tribute to girl groups of the past with a blast of present-day amplification and a little bit of garage-punk bitchiness, which I type with lots of r-e-s-p-e-c-t, ladies. Oh yeah, and they look amazing in their matching vintage dresses! The Rosalyn's debut EP, Hide and Seek, is now available (on vinyl with a fine full-color picture sleeve) via Ugly Things Records, "featuring truly fabulous versions of 'Der Hund von Baskerville,' 'Dream in My Mind,' 'Destroy That Boy,' and 'Hold On.'" They'll be available at the show, or you can order them online at webstore.ugly-things.com. Mike Stax over at Ugly Things informs us that the Diddley Daddies were specially formed for this EP-release show and is made up of husbands of the Rosalyns: "Pat Beers of the Schitzophonics on guitar and vocals, me on bass and vocals, and Brian Reilly of the New Kinetics on drums. We'll be serving up a set of punk R&B with an emphasis on Bo Diddley and the Pretty Things." This'd be the gig to see Thursday.... But if you miss the door on Kettner, Soda Bar sets up SanFran psych-pop bands Papercuts and Blank Tapes...the artsy, ethereal San Diego band Ilya's at Seven Grand...and Til-Two fills a hard-rock bill with Archons, Thrones (ex-Melvins, High on Fire, Sunn O)))), and Cryptic Languages.
Friday 23
Gang Green infects Til-Two with East Coast hardcore following like-minded Cali acts Attitude Adjustment and Stalag 13. Coming up as teens in the '80s (frontman Chris Doherty was 15), Gang Green established themselves as just about the fastest, snottiest hardcore crew on the East Coast. They've got a special place in my vast past, also hailing from the suburbs of Boston and inspiring me to drop in for the very first time. If you've got a skate rat trying to stick a trick, crank some Brewtality.... Local "death-pop" five-piece Burning of Rome will play a CD-release at Casbah for their new record, Year of the Ox. There's an early-release clip of it in this week's podcast if you're innerested. Hell or High Water, Eukaryst, and Fairy Bones will open the show.... Else: borderland garage band Northern Tigers and the hard-rocking Artifact (Joy, Shaking Pyramid) split a bill at Whistle Stop...Chicago's "ska-meets-metal" trio Their/They're/There play Ché Café after Creative Adult and Down House...while alt-rockers Against Me! hit House of Blues. In January, Against Me! released Transgender Dysphoria Blues, their sixth full-length studio album and "the first by the band since their lead vocalist, Laura Jane Grace, came out as a transgender woman." Yup.
Saturday 24
The blues-infused rock 'n' soul band Chris Robinson Brotherhood (CRB for those in the know) sold out their Friday night show at Belly Up (boo), but will be playing two sets at Freaks for the Fest up at Pappy & Harriets in Pioneertown on Saturday (yay). The Brotherhood's touring in support of this year's luke-warmly received Phosphorescent Harvest. According to American Songwriter, Phosphorescent Harvest's a stylistic grab bag, "leaving all but the most rabid Crowes fans hoping for better from a once-riveting frontman who can't seem to consistently catch that ever-elusive groove he so effortlessly used to harness." Guess I'm a rabid Crowes fan (shh), because I like the hippy pastiche. And I like Mystic Braves and Buffalo Killers and Howlin' Rain, who blow in first on this very-definitely-worth-the-road-tripper.... If you're sticking close to home this weekend, one-man IDM band Baths washes up at Casbah. That one's Dave Good's Of Noted show this week so flip or click there for the skinny on him...Matt Pond has dropped the PA from his band's name and this year dropped a solo set called The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hand. He'll be at Soda Bar with the Lighthouse & the Whaler...while experimental-rock, theatrical act Dry River Yacht Club docks at Bar Pink after the Palominos.
Follow the Crawler into next week.

Cat 3 captain for Nationals
I was looking into going to Nationals this year when I came across this rule:
5. TANDEM ROAD RACES: Tandem Road National Championships shall be conducted over a distance of 60-90 kilometers for mens, womens, and mixed teams whose ages sum falls into the following categories: 70+, 90+ and 110+. The one who steers MUST be a Category 1, 2 or 3 rider at the time of registration.
I am a Cat1 XC (MTB) racer. Only a Cat4 road racer. I wrote USA Cycling, they tell me I have to be cat3 in road. The rule does not say that. it says "Category 1, 2 or 3 rider".
Anybody been to Nationals as a tandem captain with a cat4 or lower license? I dread having to race cat4 races to cat up to 3.
Maybe I should contest the rule? Any ideas out there?
If you do not have a Cat 3 road license it seems pretty clear. You need the appropriate license for the event type... road, track, mtb, etc, and one does not automatically qualify you for the other.
For example, I have a UCI Masters Cat 3 road & track license (2012 racing age is 52 and never tandem racing) and would not think about trying to use that in a mtb race except for novice.
If it's just a safety issue. I think they should consider the cat1 mtb ranking. Obviously, a cat1 mtb ride can handle a bike.
Regardless of the fitness and off-road experience demonstrated by your XC license, I expect at least part of the reason for the tandem road race rule is assure a certain level of road race experience for entrants. Apparently the USCF feels a Cat 4 doesn't meet this criteria.
Myself, I wouldn't contest it, and I'm sentenced to be a Cat 4 for life. ;)
We're doing the TT and the RR at Nationals this year.
Do you qualify for the lifetime achievment upgrade? Experience in 25 races, with 10 top 10 finishes, or 20 pack finishes with fields over 50.
They don't have to be in the same year, and at least when Tim was the rep, he would count Masters results. The weeknight training crits count too, as long as they meet the minimum field requirement.
If you have 25 races over a period of years, and got a couple of results this summer, I'm pretty sure you won't have trouble getting the upgrade.
Heck they approved mine.
I was just going to call you in the first place. Shoulda gone with my first instinct.

I found out today that my teenage son has been using Oxycotin & Percocet. He says he has been using them for about 8 or 9 months. I know that in December of 2004 he went to the doctor and his weight was 210 pounds. Today, he weighs 150 pounds. Yes, he has lost 60 pounds~!! He is nearly 6 foot tall but.........
He is VERY irritable and sometimes has trouble with his stomach hurting, diarrhea, stomach cramping, throwing up, etc. Mostly ALL of these symptoms happen in the morning time.
He says he uses Percocet more often. He says he has only tried the Oxycotin about 10 times and the rest has been Percocet. He told me he paid $20 for the Oxycotin and $5 for the Percocet (each pill). He also told me I was really worried for nothing. I was a teenager once too. I remember how well I could say what I knew my parents wanted to hear.
He and one of his older brothers got in a fist fight this morning and his brother told this. After that, my teenager admitted what he was doing. My teenager talked really disrespectful to my Mother and myself. That is the reason his 23 year old brother jumped on him. They have always been very close. I ask my 23 year old why he did not tell me sooner, was he waiting for the funeral to tell me. Now the whole family is ripped apart.
My teenager says it is not a problem and that he just uses the pain pills once in awhile. His older brother told me I was crazy if I believed him.
I know that he smokes marijuana and cigarettes but does NOT drink alcohol.
I found this forum while searching the internet about these drugs. I feel like I have been slapped in the face. I don't know what to do or where to turn.
He told me tonight that he would not take anymore pills at all. Can he go "cold turkey" like that~?? Is he just feeding me a line of bull~??
I would appreciate any and all help you can offer to our family.
Thanks in advance,

The trail was well packed, so it was a bit easier than last weeks trail breaking slug up the Flattop Mountain Trail. The divide, as well as the lower reaches of Flattop Mountain, was blanketed in a thick layer of clouds, a new experience for me. Usually, in the summer months, I am running from threatening looking clouds, not running into them facing 60+ mph winds.
It was a fairly uneventful hike through the trees that quickly became interesting once I got to about 11,500 feet. That is when the wind really picked up. There were times I had to drop down to regain my balance, and other times when that wasn't a choice and I was blown over. This was a trying time for me, being my first time in this situation, it was hard to keep moving forward, into these conditions.
Soon, the views to the east were no more, as I was engulfed in thick clouds. Most of the time, it was easy to see the next cairn or at least tell where the trail was supposed to be. But as I got higher, toward the summit of Flattop, visibility was reduced to only about 10 to 20 yards. Not only were the clouds very thick, but there was a lot of blowing snow that made it hard to see. I did remember my full face mask this time, and it made all the difference. I was "comfortable" the entire time. Once I realized that I was well prepared for these types of conditions, my fear subsided and I began to really enjoy the experience.
The wind kept coming and I kept walking into it. As I said before, I was getting used to the way it played with my mind, and the urge to turn around was completely gone. I was actually enjoying the harshness of the tundra. Realize it for the beauty that it does hold.
For those who are familiar with this trail know of the hitch rack that is just below the summit. This was where the weather really got bad. The wind picked up even more and the large snowfield (that lasts well into July) was to be crossed. Once out on the snowfield, everything was white. There was no ground, there was no sky, only me and the sound and force of the wind. In fact, if the wind wasn't blowing, there would be no way to tell which direction to go. This was one of the strangest sensations I have ever experienced. I just kept walking into the wind up the gentle slope and was soon back among rocks and cairns.
Before too long, the sign at the North Inlet/Tonahutu/Flattop trail junction came into view about 10 yards ahead. I was there! Now on to Hallett Peak. This is when I pulled out the GPS and began marking way points. The visibility was just too low and knowing that Tyndall Glacier (and the drop into Tyndall Gorge) was only feet away, the GPS made me feel a bit more comfortable. On the way to Hallett, I marked a way point every 100 steps, thinking that if the weather got any worse, I could just follow the way points back to the summit of Flattop. Every time I wanted to mark a way point, I had to scrape a 1/16 layer of ice off of the screen in order to see what I was doing. It was pretty crazy.
At last, I was at the base of the final push to the summit of Hallett Peak. I couldn't see very far ahead of me at all, but I have been up there are few times, so I knew what was ahead. It was a slippery, cumbersome (with the snowshoes), icy and windy walk up the final slopes. About 40 vertical feet from the summit, I was blown over as the wind was the strongest it had been all day. I had to crawl to the summit, as I couldn't have stood if I wanted to. But I was there!! My first ever Winter summit! It was a great feeling to be on top. Too bad there was no view.
I upheld my Hallett Peak tradition and ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the summit, hunkered behind one of the wind blocks after digging a bit of the snow out of it. I took a couple of pictures from the summit and, once again, crawled back down about 40 feet before I could stand again. Then I was off...back to the trail head and some food.
Just as I was coming down from the summit, the clouds began to break up. The wind never stopped, but I was rewarded with glimpses of blue sky and great views. As I got back on the East side of Flattop's summit, the sky really cleared up.
I did take the time to take a few pictures on the way back down. But the winds never ceased, and I was engulfed in large clouds for a few seconds at a time, as they were rapidly moving from West to East. I wish I had a video camera to show how fast the clouds were moving all around me. It was a fantastic experience on a classic Rocky Mountain National Park mountain!
