Multimedia is media and content that uses a combination of different content forms. The term can be used as a noun (a medium with multiple content forms) or as an adjective describing a medium as having multiple content forms. The term is used in contrast to media which only use traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, and interactivity content forms. Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed or accessed by information content processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. Multimedia (as an adjective) also describes electronic media devices used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in fine art; by including audio, for example, it has a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for interactive multimedia. Hypermedia can be considered one particular multimedia application. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Multimedia)

So the other day at school we had a "Fantasy Makeup" day. We had to bring in a "model" (I asked my friend Kandace. She was PERFECT!) and do their makeup as something other than a normal day to day look. Some of the girls did a girl version of the band "Kiss", one did an "Ice Princess", one did a "mermaid", and I chose to do Effie Trinket from the Hunger Games!
We had a professional photographer come in, so I'll have better pictures soon (ones where you can actually see that Kandace's eyes are blue, like effie's). But I couldn't wait to share this any longer! What do you think?? Do you like it? (In case you're wondering, her outfit came completely from my closet.) I can't wait to get a copy of the professional pics! I'll be sure to share them. :)
Here are some other little things that have been going on...
1. Did you know that there are "Birthday Cake Oreos"?! I found them the other day and was in Heaven! I shared that pic on instagram (obviously!) and I think I may have started an Instagram trend. haha!
2. I've been loving the weather here! I posted this pic and Janette commented saying how that is not warm and that I better not be wearing shorts...
3. In response to Janette's comment I shared this picture... I was in fact, wearing shorts. hahaha! I WAS wearing tights, so it probably doesn't count. But it was still funny. :)
4. We spent our entire afternoon at school on Tuesday trying to figure out the "marbling" technique for nails. Finally got it down after much trial and error.
I hope you're all having a great week! I announced the Valentines Giveaway Winners HERE. Be sure to email me if you're a winner!

Tynamo-federatedaccounts is an add-on to tapestry-security module and provides an API and components for federated authentication use cases, i.e. authenticating (your application) users with a third-party, such as Facebook, Twitter or Google. The most well-known protocol for it is probably Oauth. However, the module is purposefully not named as "tynamo-oauth" or similar, since the provided interfaces are designed for any federated accounts (where you need to "bridge" more than one account together), regardless of protocol. Besides Oauth, OpenID, LDAP and custom remote authentication protocols are obvious use cases. The module provides an authenticating realm for each specific third-party and required components and pages to authenticate via a particular federated authentication scheme. The module is designed to be as light-weight and non-invasive as possible with minimal amount of configuration required. For example, for enabling simple authentication with Facebook and Twitter in your (Hibernate-based web) application, you only need to provide the following configuration:
It is not strictly mandatory but you should also explicitly configure your application's hostname instead of relying on the hostname taken from request. This is required anyway if you are creating absolute urls without request context (for example in a background process) or when you are running loadbalancers in front of your application server. Oauth provider's callback URL handler may require that hostname matches with the provider's configuration (that's exactly the case with Facebook). Pre-T5.3 you have to override BaseUrlSource, in T5.3 you can simply set the following symbols:
The User class above is your own persistent type, or in the case of Hibernate/JPA, an @Entity. All types you are contributing to FederatedAccountService need to implement the interface org.tynamo.security.federatedaccounts.FederatedAccount. FederatedAccount interface is shown below:
Depending on the FederatedAccountService used, you don't necessarily need to provide any meaningful implementation for federate(...) operation, but it's provided in case you want to merge/update some account properties. See the example implementation for ideas (the DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl requires you to implement storing the identifying remote property).
FederatedAccountService is a lightweight interface, providing a bridge between your local user accounts and remote accounts. The only operation in FederatedAccountService is:
The operation is designed to be invoked after a remote authentication has succeeded. "remotePrincipal" parameter is the username/userid in the remote system and the last parameter is an optional object describing the remote account. The current Facebook realm is using RestFB and returns RestFB User object as the remoteAccount. The Twitter realm uses Twitter4j and returns a Twitter4j User as the remoteAccount. DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl tries to obtain the configured entity for this realm (see the configuration above) and saves or updates the entity after calling its federate(...) operation.
FederatedAccounts module requires that FederatedAccountService interface is bound to an existing service, but doesn't bind to any by default. This is so you can easily provide a custom implementation for FederatedAccountService, using your own persistence model. Two implementations are provided by default for FederatedAccountService: DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl and DefaultJpaFederatedAccountServiceImpl.
Extension points
What should you customize and why?
- If you are not using hibernate as your persistence framework...
-> provide a custom FederatedAccountService implementation
- If you are handling your own transactions...
-> set autoCommit to false i.e. contribute application symbol configuration.add(HostSymbols.COMMITAFTER_OAUTH,"false")
- If you are using Hibernate, but need to merge local accounts with remote accounts matching a specific property...
-> override : DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl.findLocalAccount(Class<?> entityType, String realmName, Object remotePrincipal, Object remoteAccount)
- If you are adding/updating (i.e. cache) property values from remote account to local account...
-> implement the required logic in FederatedAccount.federate(String realmName, Object remotePrincipal, Object remoteAccount)
If you are not using DefaultHibernateFederatedAccountServiceImpl but need to keep the Oauth access token for later use:
->You need to do something like:
or, store the access token in your database. Note the (potential) expiration of an access token and cast the authenticationToken argument of federate() call in your FederatedAccountService to OauthAccessToken for easier handling.
- If you are implementing your own remote account provider...
-> See the current FacebookRealm implementation, FacebookOauth page and FacebookOauthSignIn component and related classes for examples (and contribute back if it's generally useful!)
Check out more examples from our full-featured functional tests or a simple, live demonstration with the default Facebook authentication in action, running on GAE.
Configuring realms
The modularized architecture allows each module (and realm) to use their own, provider specific communication library. Each realm can support additional, provider-specific features. For example, you may want to request additional permissions from Facebook users etc. If you don't have a need for provider-specific features (like reading posting tweets on behalf of the user, utilizing the user's social graph etc.) you may use a Pac4jFederatedRealm (based on Pac4j module), which is a generic Oauth module that unifies access to the user's federated profile. See below for documentation on specific realms and sub-modules.
Pac4jFederatedRealm - in tynamo-federatedaccounts-pac4jbasedoauth module
If you just need a quick & dirty way for adding a few Oauth providers to your application, check out how Pac4j is being used in the tynamo-federatedaccounts-test module. At this time, Pac4j supports facebook, dropbox, github, google2, linkedIn2, twitter, windowslive, wordpress & yahoo Oauth providers (the number at the end of the provider key refers to the authentication protocol in case the provider itself supports both). The module even sports a fully functional UI component (see the federatedSignInOptionsPanel on the login page of the test app), so you enable specific providers, provider the credentials and entity configuration and you are done! Of course, you don't have to use the options panel but you can also just add specific Oauth logins using the <t:federated.Pac4jOauthSignIn provider="yahoo" / > component. Note that since Pac4j handles multiple specific providers, you need to use the form "pacj_<supported client name>" as a key when setting up entity mapping (e.g.
// configuration.add(FederatedAccountType.pac4j_.name() + SupportedClient.google2.name(), GoogleAccount.class) ).
TwitterRealm - in tynamo-federatedaccounts-twitter module
This modules uses Twitter4j library. Twitter4j allows you to execute any read/write operations (search tweets, post on behalf of the user etc.) provided by the Twitter API. You typically want to use this module directly if you plan on exercising these Twitter APIs.
FacebookRealm - in tynamo-federatedaccounts-facebook module
First, create a Facebook application/register your website (same thing really). If you need to request specific application permissions, contribute an additional permission symbol (in addition to your application credentials), for example:
By default, FacebookRealm will use the Facebook user id as the principal property, i.e. that property is used as the remotePrincipal. You may change it by configuring FacebookRealm.FACEBOOK_PRINCIPAL. Facebook.PrincipalProperty {id, email, name} are the only supported principals. Using email as the principal property may sometimes be valuable for automatically merging existing accounts but remember that you need to explicitly request access to user's email. You can specify name as well, but note that it's not a uniquely identifying property (not even within Facebook), so you likely want to implement your own FederatedAccountService in that case and use composite keys or make the principal otherwise unique.
Workin together with the FacebookRealm is FacebookOauthSignIn component. This component displays the Facebook login icon and initiates the Oauth callflow. The component requires that you've contributed values for "facebook.clientid" and "facebook.clientsecret" to work. Additionally, you may require Facebook specific permissions and decide to manage transactions yourself (set FederatedAccountSymbols.COMMITAFTER_OAUTH to false, true by default). FacebookSignIn also support three different window modes [blank|inline|self] (e.g. windowmode="blank"). The live example well demonstrates these configuration choices.
RollingTokenRealm in tynamo-federatedaccounts-rollingtokens
If you've ever wondered how to make a cookie-based rememberMe more secure, you should read the "Persistent login cookie best practice" blog post. One-time usable, per-IP issued access tokens are as secure as an intentional security hole will get. You might wonder what this has to do with federated accounts but tynamo-federatedaccounts-rollingtokens module well showcases the flexibility of the federatedaccounts core: a rollingtokens realm is treated as just another third-party authentication provider, handling issuing random access tokens and validating them against a persistent, server-side records before passing the control to your local realm. The rollingtokens module also utilizes the more esoteric Shiro/tapestry-security features such as a login listeners and a custom subject factory. Currently tynamo-federatedaccounts-rollingtokens module includes a JPA only implementation, sorry (we may include a Hibernate implementation if there's enough demand). To use the feature, add the following to your pom.xml:
Rollingtoken plays especially well with Shiro's built-in rememberMe and Subject.authenticated feature. In Shiro's default rememberMe a Subject "is remembered, they are NOT considered authenticated". Together with rollingtokens, two cookies are issued to the user. If the matching principal is found but rollingtoken authentication fails, Subject.isAuthenticated() returns false and true if matching server-side token was found and hadn't expired, just as if user had signed in with a username/password pair. Note however, that rollingtokens does weaken the security compared to secure form-based authentication (but is in some ways more secure than BASIC or form-based authentication over plain HTTP).
// configuration.add(FederatedAccountType.pac4j_.name() + SupportedClient.google2.name(), GoogleAccount.class);

Men's Volleyball Racks Up Second-Straight Player of the Week Honors as Specian follows Moore in Week #3
February 21, 2012
HIGH POINT, N.C. Pfeiffer Universitys David Specian (Loxahatchee, FL) has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas Mens Volleyball Player of the Week during week number three of the 2012 season. Specian, who makes it 2-for-2 in player of the weeks for mens volleyball, had a huge hand in continuing the Falcons' seven-game win streak with a perfect 5-0 week overall as Pfeiffer improved to 7-1, 5-0 in league play.
Starting with a road matchup against the defending champs at Mount Olive, Specian helped rally the Falcons to a 3-2 win after being down early 2-0, by assisting a match-high 49 times in the five-set thriller adding nine digs, two block assists and a kill. In a Saturday tri-match at Eastern Mennonite, he added 40 assists in a 3-1 victory with nine more digs, three block assists and five kills from the front row. Later against Philly Bible in his one set of action, Specian handed out 10 helpers with two digs and a kill in another 3-1 win.
Rounding out the week against Conference foes Limestone and Lees-McRae, he assisted 50 and 41 times in 3-1 league wins while adding six digs against the Saints and eight against the Bobcats. In the blocking department, Specian picked up two more block assists against Limestone and a solo stuff at Lees-McRae chipping in with four kills during each contest. For the week, Specian hit .440 with his 15 kills registering a monster 190 assists averaging 10.56/set. He dug up opponent attacks 34 times while picking up eight total blocks and two aces.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Saturday and Sunday with trips to NJIT and Baruch College before heading to St. Charles, Missouri and Lindenwood next weekend.

Can I install Windows 8 and revitalize my old machine?
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 9/7/12 4:02 PM
Can I install Windows 8 and revitalize my old machine?
With so many expectations associated with Windows 8 and the unexpected
affordability of its price tag, options abound for its implementation.
Microsoft has made no secret of its wish to have one system to rule
them all, but if that is the case, we really need Windows 8 to
displace the XP systems out there. So, here is my question...I have a
2.8Ghz, Pentium 4 with 1.5GB of RAM and a 80GB hard drive. It has a
very good sound card and basic video card. I really want to do
something with it, such as turning it into a jukebox or a basic PC for
my son, but I really have to replace the OS. Can I install Windows 8
and revitalize my machine and, if so, what else do I need and what
should I expect? I am sure there are many other people out there
wondering the same thing. Can you help? Thanks.

I wish this design had more to it - it's a really simple design. I wanted a Typography-type invitation on short notice and we decided on this one. The value and pricing are GREAT! I love how you can add your Wedding Colors to make it a little more personal and change out the verbage - Just wish it was a little more unique. I feel like I could have made this on my computer myself.
absolutely the best!!!
I am so happy I chose Magnetstreet to do my invites and my save the dates!!! They came out even more beautifully then I had ever imagined!! I would highly recommend this site to any person doing invites of any kind. I couldn't be any more satisfied!!! Thank you!!!
It's Perfect!
I am thrilled! The card looks exactly like it looked in the review.
Perfect size!
Labels are perfect size to cover the blue circle on the small York Peppermint Pattie, that we are using as wedding rehearsal dinner favors. We really love them!! UPS however did not do such a great job delivering them, as the envelope was crumpled and appeared to have been damp, causing damage to the labels inside.
LOVE these cards!!
I was concerned about ordering invitations online, but after visiting a store and being given the price of $700 for 50 invites I had no other option. These invites were budget friendly and beautiful. I will definitely be ordering my thank you cards from here!

A BIG CONGRATS on reaching that 2M mark and your nice new ride! Wow! Truly awesome! You're one of only 2,952 of more than 8,000,000 GBs that have accumulated at least 2,000,000 points! Keep going another million or more! Most people who signed up to be GBs will never make it to 1M, but you have made it to 2M! Many of the GBs ahead of you have already retired, only 1,820 GBs have reached 2.5M, and only 861 have continued on to 3M! Don't give up now, like so many of the GBs that reached 1M and 2M then retired, persistence and dedication will get you to the 3M and 4M mark and beyond! The top GBs are celebrating their 11th and 12th year anniversary here on GasBuddy, so you have plenty of time to get there also! Keep going like a PRO Riverside GasBuddy leading the way for others to follow! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! YB Ron

Perakslis shifting the FDA to a data-centric approach
Thursday - 1/24/2013, 9:54pm EST
The Food and Drug Administration's new Information Management Strategic plan doesn't just provide a roadmap to what the future of the agency's technology infrastructure will look like.
The document portends the agency's shift toward a data-centric approach to how it meets its mission.
Eric Perakslis, the FDA's chief information officer and chief scientist for infomatics, said the short term goals, such as moving e-mail to the cloud, will create the infrastructure to make it easier for the agency to reach its long-term goals of being more customer-centric.
In some ways, the roadmap will change Perakslis' own role as CIO to focus on the information part and less on the technology part.
"I'd like to put us into a slightly different business," he said referring to the CIO's office's role. "I think we still need plenty of people and in some ways it's even the same skills. Instead of a system administrator being in a server room racking and stacking servers, maybe they are on an Amazon console simultaneously running 30 different cloud instances."
He said the FDA has a treasure trove of data that could provide more benefits to the agency and government at large.
"There is a lot more optimization we could be doing with moving that data, mining that data for secondary and tertiary uses, sharing that data across government for health missions, security missions and things like that," Perakslis said. "I'd like to see us moving into that data driven age as opposed to a systems driven age."
He added his office could be doing more to enhance the FDA's mission instead of just supporting it.
Perakslis said the CIO's role of just supporting the mission is not going to be enough especially as more and more traditionally in-house supported technology moves to the cloud or becomes automated.
The FDA's strategic plan calls for four basic goals:
- Provide on demand technology for employees by modernizing internal and external systems.
- Develop an approach to let the agency efficiently review its processes, perform risk-based analytics and have secure and seamless collaboration with public and private sector partners.
- Reduce IT costs and reinvest in mission areas.
- Develop leaders who focus on the technology to run the business and scientific mission areas.
"I'd like to think the infrastructure in 3-5-7 years from now is really a set of consumer driven services," he said. "In some ways, I'd like to see a lot of the historic management information system-type IT functions disappearing into the background a little bit. The focus at that point should be on the data. It should be on the outcomes, automating workflows and things like that, than just trying to affect transactions."
Perakslis said he was surprised when he started as the FDA CIO that his office managed many of the commodity IT services, such as email.
He said the FDA will move its email to the cloud in 2013 with a solicitation coming in the early part of the year.
"Over long term email in the cloud will be less expensive, and we are fortunate that leadership at the FDA when we do accomplish savings they are allow some reinvestment into innovation," Perakslis said. "But it's really about getting the desktop experience right. Yes, we will save a few bucks on email, but that is minimal compared to the point where their computer is too slow and employees are losing productivity."
The FDA also is investing in virtualization, but only when it makes sense and the security level is adequate enough.
"Over time when it's time to do an upgrade, we will fix it, but we don't have the time or energy to go through our entire architecture," Perakslis said.

My husband has been wearing Aramis 900 for over 27 years...since I introduced him to it. Everyone compliments him on it--it is a clean but woodsy, manly scent that is very unique. He has many other colognes that he wears from time to time but this surpasses them all, hands down!
Written by Lorrai on October 21, 2014Read Review details ►
Aramis 900 has been my favorite cologne for many years! Many of the department stores stop selling it for a while and I was happy to purchase it through Fragrance Net!
Written by G.K. on April 10, 2013Read Review details ►
I found this fragrance at a local store 30+ years ago and keep coming back to it after trying several others from time to time. I often get compliments when wearing it. My local department store stopped carrying it long ago and ordering from fragrancenet is quick, easy, and eliminates a trip to the mall. Delivery is usually within 5-7 days

What happened to the old smell of Aramis 900
Written by mixer836 on December 25, 2011Read Review details ►
The 1970's was an era of fragrance mastery and Aramis 900 is one of the masculine paragons from that time. Very few fragrances after 1990 can compare to this kind of character.

Chris Madden won Friday's Lucas Oil race in front of Freddy Smith and his son, Jeff, and their families at Cherokee Speedway in a race to honor the legacy of their father and grandfather Grassy Smith.
"We always like coming down here to Cherokee Speedway," said Freddy Smith, winner of over 780 feature races.
Jeff Smith, owner of J&J Race Cars in Gastonia, used his father's motor for the race after finishing ninth on seven cylinders the night before in Swainsboro, Ga. The family was honored in victory lane during pre-race ceremonies at the track.
"That family has been racing a long time; a lot of hats go off to Freddy and Jeff and Grassy," Madden said.
Madden, of Gray Court, S.C. took the early lead in the 50-lapper over Mount Holly's Chris Ferguson. Ferguson, who had qualified second behind Steve Shaver, won his heat race and ran strong early but fell out towards the end of the race. Madden held off a hard-charging Brent
Dixon late in the race when he slid high in turn two lap traffic. Madden took it home from there, claiming the $10,000 prize. Steve Francis finished second and Dennis Erb was third.
"I was just happy to win a race here again at Cherokee," said Madden, who has picked up his game in the last couple of weeks, winning twice in Tennessee and finishing seventh at the Dream 100 at Eldora Speedway.
Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series: Friday: 1) Chris Madden #44 2) Steve Francis #15 3) Dennis Erb, Jr #28 E 4) Don O'Neal #71 5) Dale McDowell #17 M 6) Jared Landers #5 7) Earl Pearson, Jr #44 8 ) John Blankenship #23 9) Jimmy Owens #0 10) Chris Ferguson #21 11) Eddie Carrier, Jr #28 12) Craig Vosbergen #8 13) Billy Moyer, Jr #21 Jr 14) Ricky Weeks #1 W 15) Tim Allen #17 16) Jerry Lierly #7 L 17) Brent Dixon #1 D 18 ) Jonathan Davenport #49 19) Ty Dillon #41 20) Dennis Franklin #2 21) Steve Shaver # 6 S 22) Jeff Smith #70 23) Johnny Pursely #09 24) Casey Roberts #101
Dirt racers prepare for NASCAR truck race at Eldora
On July 24, NASCAR Camping World truck drivers will be racing on dirt at Tony Stewart's famed Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. It will be the first NASCAR points race on dirt since 1970.
And joining them will be some of the top super dirt late model drivers in the nation. Scott Bloomquist, winner of this year's Dream 100 at Eldora, plans to race a truck for Kyle Busch. In 2012, Bloomquist fielded the dirt late model that made Busch a winner at Eldora's Prelude to the Dream.
Ty Dillon, a regular on dirt and asphalt, and Jared Landers, Lucas Oil series driver for Clint Bowyer, raced at Cherokee Speedway on Friday and both plan to be on the grid.
Landers, who has been relearning his own late model after the team recently made changes to improve his car, had third, fourth and sixth place finishes over the weekend. Landers shared some thoughts on the upcoming truck race at Eldora.
"I don't think it's going to be completely different from what we're doing out here, but the truck is going to be hard to drive. The weight of the truck and the suspension are not really built for the dirt. I think it's going to be a lot about keeping the back end under you, staying straight, and not spinning out," Landers said. "I haven't done any testing yet, but I'm going to in about two weeks. Ty (Dillon) has already tested a couple times. It's going to be an interesting race to watch."
Friday night's winner Madden, who also finished seventh in the Dream 100 this year, doesn't have plans to be involved with the truck race.
"I don't know. It really didn't come together like I wanted it to. I guess we'll just sit back and watch it this year," Madden said.
Madden wished that the track would have run the Prelude this year.
"It was a lot of fun for us to take those guys and bring them into our world and give them a good time. I loved it. Kasey Kahne drove my car two years there (in 2011 and 2012) and he is a super guy. Hats off to Kasey Kahne for everything he does for everybody. I really respect him," he said.
Bradsher takes crate Cherokee win, Ivey holds on to SECA points lead
Donald Bradsher was glad he missed an early wreck and was able to pass race leader Trent Ivey after another caution to win the SECA crate late model feature at Cherokee.
"I saw Anthony's tire going down on the inside so I just went up on the outside to try to get by him. It was a bittersweet revenge. I came down here last year and sat on the pole for the $15,000-to-win super race and got caught up in a wreck. And to come back and win in crates — this track has eaten me for lunch many a time — it was good to get a victory here," Bradsher said.
Tim Mcabee, who manages the South Eastern Crate Association along with Scott Childress and Marian Limbaugh is happy with the racing so far this season.
"Congratulations to Donald for the win. He's not signed up for the series but he's always a good guy when he's around, so hats off to that team. Ivey put a little more stranglehold on the rest of the field tonight. Tough luck for him after leading the majority of the race, but he came in with like a 21-point lead and he'll get 34 points for running second," Mcabee said. "We have 30 drivers signed up at three local tracks. If we can keep those guys at home tracks, it's a win for the fans and a win for the owners and win for the drivers — eliminate some of the travel and still get the same winnings at the end of the year."
RoushYates/SECA Late Model: Friday: 1) Donald Bradsher #93 2) Trent Ivey # 88 3) Adam Yarbrough #57 Y 4) Joey Phillips #22 5) Jeff Cooke #99 6) Dillon Brown #00 7) Charlie Walker #48 8 ) Thomas Robinson # 78 9) Billy Thompson # V 8 10) James Plemmons #27 P 11) Greg Clark #39 12) Greg Pilgrim # 28 13) Jonathan Grey # 13 14) Anthony Sanders #421 15) Michael Brown #27 16) Jonathan Duval #F 1 17) Dalton Myers #54
Sessoms picks up late model wins, helps other racers
Stanley's Jay Sessoms has had some successful runs in the past month. He captured the Late Model feature at East Lincoln Speedway on June 15 after winning in Late Models the night before at Carolina. Sessoms helped out with Jeff Smith and his team over the weekend, including at the Grassy Smith Memorial. Sessoms also works with his son Greg Clark's crate program.
Clark ran fourth at The Dirt Track at Charlotte last month, his best career finish at the track.
Gastonia's Whitten gets Hickory victory; Grala is youngest UARA winner
On June 8, Gastonia's Mark Whitten came from third, past spinning cars, to take the checkered flag and get his first victory at Hickory Motor Speedway in the Street Stocks division. On Saturday, fourteen-year-old Kaz Grala became the UARA's youngest winner at Hickory Motor Speedway. It was his first UARA win as he held off Brodie Kostecki, Garrett Jones, Garrett Campbell and pole winner Travis Swaim in the Banjo Matthews Memorial 150.

The CatEye Commuter cyclocomputer was designed with the commuter in mind. The Commuter cyclocomputer features nifty features including the estimated time of arrival, clock, temperature, and carbon offset. The new larger font size makes reading trip details easy with a quick glance. The carbon offsets are computed by using a fixed 150g/km or 240g/ mile figure and multiplying it by the distance ridden. It tracks in real time and shows day to day, week to week, month to month, and total carbon saved. The FlexTight bracket mounts quickly, securely, and without any tools to virtually any handlebar or stem. The tool- free speed sensor mounts effortlessly to any standard fork.

Comments about Cateye Commuter Wireless Computer:
I really like this one. Has the clock and the temp on screen at all times. All displays are large and easy to read. Mount is nice and easy to use. Setup tedious as always. Only complaint is it doesn't show total mileage without removing from the mount, so can't use to change the chain at 300mi easily. Also tries to measure your daily commute, which doesn't work for mountain biking, but not a problem.

Comments about Shimano M02 Disc Brake Pads:
Ride 3-4 times/week 4-6 months/year (until the place is buried in snow). These pads don't squeal like a pig. They do allow nice modulation, i.e. they don't grab at low speeds as you are sneaking around a tight switchback. Generally get almost a full season of riding before they are toast.

Glacier Peak's Branson Corwin (left) and Goal keeper Lucas MacMillan celebrate after the win of the 3A district championship game at Shoreline Stadium on Saturday.
The Glacier Peak High School boys soccer team seemed destined to be sabotaged by prom. But even without their veterans, the Grizzlies played like champions, claiming the 3A District 1 title Saturday evening by defeating the Shorewood Thunderbirds 2-1 at Shoreline Stadium.
Glacier Peak was missing four of its five seniors because the school's prom also was Saturday night. The game's start time was moved back from 7 p.m. to 5 p.m. in an attempt to accommodate the Glacier Peak seniors, but only defenseman Adrian Caple chose to play, making a quick change into his tuxedo at the stadium before heading to the gala.
Yet a casual observer never would have noticed the Grizzlies were bereft key players. They controlled large stretches of the game and were well worth their title, besting a Shorewood team that had won 12 straight.
"We had a deal within our group that was tough on these guys, and I think it bonded them together," Glacier Peak coach Shannon Murray said. "So win or lose, the way they played today and the way they came out together as a group was awesome. I actually get a little emotional about high school athletics for a lot of reasons. But the lessons they learned over the last three or four days about what a team really is is awesome. I couldn't be more proud. We won a state championship three years ago, but this was really cool."
Added midfielder Branson Corwin, who scored the first of Glacier Peak's goals: "This was phenomenal. I loved that the guys stepped up this game. Not having four of our seniors coming out here, I really appreciate them stepping up their game and having the motivation to get this game done today."
Riley Prescott scored the other goal for the Grizzlies (12-5-2), the No. 2 seed from the Wesco 3A South, who claimed the district's top seed to state. Glacier Peak will play the No. 4 seed from District 2 in the first round.
"We were very confident, even without (the seniors)," said Murray, who added that the missing seniors will be welcomed back to the team Monday. "We have a core of players here who are very good soccer players. If you didn't know any different, you wouldn't have realized we were missing some kids. That's what makes me proud.
"It doesn't matter whose name is called in our program, they step up and perform, which is unbelievable. It was such a group effort today."
Taj McChesney scored for Shorewood (15-2-1), the No. 1 seed from the Wesco 3A South. The T-birds play the District 3/4 No. 2 in the opening round of state. Both of Shorewood's losses this season came at the hands of the Grizzlies.
Shorewood hadn't allowed a goal in the month of May, but the Grizzlies needed just 10 minutes to find the back of the T-birds' net. Corwin and Connor Seed played a nice give-in-go, with Seed chipping the ball over the Shorewood defense to set Corwin free. Corwin blasted the ball past T-birds goalkeeper Calvin Crawford to give Glacier Peak a 1-0 lead.
Shorewood needed just over a minute to tie it. A long, lofted free kick toward the goal mouth eluded the Grizzlies' defense, allowing McChesney to glance a header in from short range and make it 1-1.
Glacier Peak regained the lead in the 29th minute. Following a corner kick, a deflected pass found its way to Prescott open at the far edge of the goal box. Prescott pulled the ball back onto his left foot, then squeezed a shot inside the near post to give the Grizzlies a 2-1 advantage.
Glacier Peak then controlled the ball for much of the second half, and the Grizzlies nearly added to their lead in the 52nd minute when Prescott's header from a corner glanced off the crossbar. Shorewood applied some pressure with time winding down, but Grizzlies goalkeeper Lucas MacMillan was strong at his post to deny a half-chance by McChesney, and Glacier Peak held on for the title.
"It was just motivation for our guys, knowing we had to get this job done," Corwin said. "(The seniors will) be back for state, and knowing we get the home games for state, we can keep moving forward toward the state championship.
"I believe this will really build us and we'll play stronger as we go farther and farther into state."
At Shoreline Stadium
Goals--Branson Corwin (GP), Riley Prescott (GP), Taj McChesney (S). Assists--Connor Seed (GP), Spencer Pettit (GP), Justin Collins (S). Goalkeepers--Glacier Peak: Lucas MacMillan. Shorewood: Clavin Crawford. Records--Glacier Peak 12-5-2 overall. Shorewood 15-2-1.

CARSON, Calif. – Former Chivas USA midfielder Laurent Courtois continued to train with the LA Galaxy and following Thursday's session, Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena offered his take on what he's seen from the versatile Frenchman.
"Nothing that I don't already know, I've seen him for a number of years with Chivas," said Arena. "He's a good player."
As for whether or not Courtois could earn a deal with the Galaxy, Arena said that no decision has been made right now.
"It remains to be seen. We'll see if this continues," Arena said. "It is open right now and at some point, it'll end with a determination."
Montreal's Marco Di Vaio defeats Robbie Keane in MLS All-Star "In the Game" race for final spot on Fan XI
Montreal Impact forward Marco Di Vaio defeated LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane in the AT&T MLS All-Star 'In the Game' Challenge' to lock down the final spot in the MLS All-Star Fan XI, the league announced on Thursday.
Fans utilizing the Impact forward scored 73,838 goals through FIFA Soccer 13, which outpaced the other 26 eligible players. According to the release, Keane finished second to Di Vaio with 69,797 goals.
In total, more than 480,000 goals were scored by fans.
Remember, this doesn't mean that Keane can't make the All-Star team as he can still be selected through player voting or as a commissioner's selection.
CARSON, Calif. – Former LA Galaxy midfielder Mike Muñoz returned to the club on Wednesday as he became a member of the Galaxy Academy coaching staff.
A former Academy coach with Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake, Muñoz has also spent time as an assistant coach with Chivas and the U.S. Under-15 national team.
On Wednesday, I spoke to Muñoz about his new position and how his move to the Galaxy came about.
My conversation with the new LA Galaxy Academy coach is below…
LA GALAXY INSIDER: (On how his move from Chivas USA materialized…)
MUNOZ: "[Galaxy Academy Director Pete Vagenas] approached Chivas to begin to have conversations with me, and obviously, Chivas granted permission to have those conversations. I knew Pete from years of playing [in MLS], but when he gave me a phone call and we met, the reality is that the opportunity was too good to pass up. I'm very excited about Pete being the Academy Director. I loved his vision for this club and where he wants to take the academy, especially with the full support of [Galaxy head coach and general manager] Bruce Arena and [LA Technical Director] Jovan Kirovski. It was a no-brainer after that."
LAGI: (On what he might have gained from working with Chivas…)
MUNOZ: "When I originally came over from Salt Lake, I was able to work with the first team under former [Chivas USA] coaches Robin Fraser and Greg Vanney for almost two years. That experience at the first team level and being able to bring it back to the kids, such as what it takes to be a professional, is the biggest thing that I got out of it."
LAGI: (On what the past season was like with Chivas…)
MUNOZ: "100 percent, this [past season] was the hardest challenge of my young coaching career. My number one priority was to protect my players and the academy players from everything that was happening on the outside, and just making sure that we focused on our objectives and goals to further their development as we had done over the past two years. I think that I did a pretty good job of that, but at the same time, it was very challenging."
LAGI: (You say that you protected the players, what does that mean?)
MUNOZ: "I just told them to try and stay focused, and not worry about what is happening with the first team or Academy Director [Teddy Chronopoulos] getting fired. [I told them] just to make sure that they were focused on their own development and our team. For the most part, we did a good job by getting to the playoffs and winning the Southwest conference. We fell short [of an Academy title], but I think for the most part, everyone is going to walk away a better person and better player."
LAGI: (On how the Academy will change under Peter Vagenas and how he plans to help…)
MUNOZ: "Listen, first and foremost, our number one objective is to produce players for the first team, and produce players for Bruce's eyes—players that can jump right in immediately and contribute. Everything that Bruce does with his staff will be implemented all the way down to the Academy. At the same time, our academy teams need to have an identity for themselves as well. Pete's vision is to create this top-to-bottom unification of style, systems and all that kind of stuff. Like I said, our number one objective is producing not only a good player for the first team, but also a good human being."
LAGI: (On his thoughts on the Galaxy Academy after being an outsider…)
MUNOZ: "One of the biggest reasons why I came over was because the Galaxy, in my opinion, is the best and biggest club in the country with the best talent pool in Southern California. It's only a matter of time before we're going to blow this thing up and really become the dominant force in the Development Academy out of all the clubs in MLS."
LAGI: (On how he changes the Galaxy's reputation of a "recruiting" academy…)
MUNOZ: "Listen, it's a process. It starts all the way to our affiliate clubs with our younger kids, U-12's, and making it go all the way up. From what I hear and what I see, our 10 and 11-year-olds that we're starting through this system are very exciting. Our U-14's are one of the best teams in the country, so listen, it's a process and it's going to take time to see the fruits of our labor. But we're starting to scratch the surface of what the potential could be."
LAGI: (On any interesting players that he sees on the roster…)
MUNOZ: "Haji Wright is a kid who has been part of the U-15 national team and a kid that I got to work with on national team camps. He really has a bright future and I would say that he's the most exciting player that I can think of right now."
LAGI: (On whether he'll stay active in the U.S. Under-15 National Team…)
MUNOZ: "That's only a part time job with camps and tournaments. As far as I know, I'll continue to work with that. The club is very supportive of me working with the national team, so that will continue."
LAGI: (On his growth over the past few years…)
MUNOZ: "Making this move finally is what I've always envisioned, what I've always wanted, and what always strived for in my career. Coming to the Galaxy there is going to be more growth in my development as a coach. Whether it's working with the U-23's or the reserves or other opportunities to be a part of the first team down the road, was very intriguing for my move. It's been a rapid increase in my career and I've learned a lot along the way and I've had a lot of important mentors as well. I've just tried to learn from all the positive and negative experiences, and I know that will continue here as well."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy announced on Wednesday that former LA player Mike Muñoz had joined the Galaxy Academy coaching staff.
Muñoz has coached at the Academy level with Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake. He has also spent time as an assistant coach with Chivas USA and the U.S. U-15 team. It has been reported that Muñoz will coach the club's Under-16 team, but there has been no official announcement on his placement in the staff yet.
"Mike Munoz is an accomplished young coach with a proven track record and we are excited to be adding him to our coaching staff," said LA Galaxy Academy Director Peter Vagenas said in a statement. "The Galaxy Academy will continue to help nurture and produce players for our first team and Mike, who has already shown the ability to develop young talent, will play a major role in that endeavor."
A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, Muñoz played three seasons in MLS over the course of four years with Chivas USA and the Galaxy.
"It is an honor to be a part of this club and to work with the LA Galaxy Academy," said Muñoz, who ended his playing a career and began his coaching career with the Galaxy. "The primary reason that I decided to join the staff is Peter Vagenas and the rest of his coaching staff. I have enormous amount of respect for Pete as a player and as a person and I know he is the right man for this job to move the program forward. I'm very excited to get started and helping to continue to grow the Galaxy Academy."
The 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game is heading to Portland
MLS announced on Wednesday that Portland's JELD-WEN Field will host the 2014 MLS All-Star Game, marking the first time that the game has been played in Cascadia.
"The Portland Timbers and their passionate fans have certainly earned the honor of hosting the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game," said Commissioner Don Garber in a statement. "This match will showcase to an international audience the incredible devotion to the game in the Pacific Northwest that serves as one of the most important stories for our league."
The game is still a year away, but are you planning to make the trip to Portland for the match?

Landon Donovan added another page to the U.S. Soccer history book on Tuesday when he became the first U.S. player to tally 50 goals and 50, after tallying one goal and two assists during the Americans 6-1 victory over Belize in the opening match of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Donovan notched his 50th assist when he fired a pinpoint cross to Stuart Holden that gave the Americans a 4-1 lead in the 58th minute. The Galaxy midfielder notched his 51st assist just 14 minutes later when he provided a helper on Michael Orozco Fiscal's finish. Donovan wasn't the only star on the night as San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski scored his first hat trick of his international career with three goals in the first half.
In the 78th minute, Donovan put the capper on the night for the Americans with a penalty kick goal that gives him 52 goals and 51 assists in his 146 appearances with the U.S. National Team.
The U.S. returns to action on July 13 against Cuba at Rio Tinto Stadium in their second match in Group C.
CARSON, Calif. – Three LA Galaxy players are off to train with Swedish side Hammarby, but that doesn't mean that a certain player currently in Sweden whose rights LA own is on his way to StubHub Center.
The Galaxy obtained the rights to Hammarby midfielder Baggio Hušidić last month from the Colorado Rapids as part of a deal that sent Pablo Mastroeni to LA, in exchange for an international roster spot and a second round draft choice. A former member of the Chicago Fire, Hušidić has made nine appearances for Hammarby this season, but hasn't appeared in a match for the Swedish Superettan club since May.
Technical Director Jovan Kirovski touched on Hušidić's during my interview with him on Tuesday and noted that no move was imminent.
"Right now, the [three players] are going over to train, so no," said Kirovski when asked if Hušidić could be on his way to LA as part of the training stint. "We have the rights to him, and that could happen in the future, but this is just about these kids."
CARSON, Calif. – Three LA Galaxy youngsters began a European excursion on Monday.
Bryan Gaul, Charlie Rugg, and Kenney Walker began training with Swedish Superettan side Hammarby this week as they look to gain European experience. The trio has been used sparingly by LA this season and the opportunity to train in Europe provides them with a different type of experience for their young careers. Rugg and Walker have already begun their training and can be seen here training with the club on Tuesday alongside new signing and former New York Red Bulls forward Luke Rodgers.
I spoke to LA Galaxy club President Chris Klein on Sunday prior to the club's 2-0 victory over FC Dallas about the move. Klein currently sits on the board of directors at Hammarby and also played alongside former Galaxy center back and current Hammarby head coach Gregg Berhalter.
My conversation with Klein is below...
LA GALAXY INSIDER: (On your thoughts on the three players training with Hammarby…)
KLEIN: "I think from a general standpoint, we're always looking to do more with [Hammarby]. We feel that it's a good place for our players to develop. I think if you look at MLS and you look at where Hammarby is in Sweden, it becomes ripe for someone like Kenney Walker, Bryan Gaul, and Charlie Rugg to get valuable experience. The three of those players are in positions of need for Hammarby, but initially, [they're] going over to train. They're going over so Gregg can take a look. We're constantly looking to get a better idea of how the level over there compares to the level over here, so we can do more stuff with them in the end."
LAGI: (Is this a trial?)
KLEIN: "I wouldn't say that it is a trial. It's a trial for us more than it is specifically for those three players. Gregg knows them, he's seen film on them, but yeah, in the end, it's a good opportunity for these players to get a new experience for a couple of weeks and see how they do."
LAGI: (Would you explore the possibility of a loan…)
KLEIN: "That's the conversations that we're going to have at the end of two weeks - if there is a possibility possibly to loan one, two or all of those players there where they can get better minutes and move themselves along to further their development. From a Galaxy standpoint, we don't feel that just playing in MLS Reserve League games as they are right now, is enough to move our players along. Possibly next year if we have a USL team that is playing on a regular basis with a little extra pressure there, but this is a team that is fighting for promotion at Hammarby. There's pressure there, we feel the level is very high, we know the coach, and we can montior the progress of these players. From Hammarby's point of view, they need a little bit more quality in the team and [they're] constantly searching for that quality. They signed a forward that used to play in MLS to play at Hammarby [Rodgers], so they're looking to get a little more quality at a few different positions, which specifically Bryan, Kenney, and Charlie play."

CARSON, Calif. -- There was a new face at LA Galaxy training on Tuesday as former Chivas USA midfielder Laurent Courtois trained with the club.
Tuesday's session was primarily composed of reserve team players, but Courtois was present during the portion of training open for media availability. Signed by Chivas USA in August of 2011, Courtois appeared in 33 games while scoring three goals and one assist until he was released by the Rojiblancos last month. A left-footed player that can play in midfield and in defense, the Frenchman brings an extensive resume that includes stops at clubs in France, England, and Spain.
"He's a good guy, he's out of contract at Chivas, he's local, and he has the desire to continue to play," Associate head coach Dave Sarachan told LA Galaxy Insider on Tuesday. "We liked him as a player, he's a good person, and he wanted for us to have the opportunity to have a look at him. We thought 'why not? Good people. Good player.' He's going to train with us, but beyond that, we'll see."
One could speculate that with an MLS Reserve League match slated for Sunday evening against the Portland Timbers, if Courtois is successful this week, he may make an appearance with the club's reserve side.
The LA Galaxy match against the Colorado Rapids at Dicks Sporting Goods Park will take place at 4 p.m. PT and will be aired nationally on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.
The match had originally been slated for Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Deportes at 6 p.m.

Washington, DC –U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), today made the following statement after President Obama announced his nomination of Janet Yellen for the role of Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
"Over the course of her many years shaping fiscal policy, including her three years as Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve and six years running the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Janet Yellen has earned a reputation as an astute and respected economist," Klobuchar said. "Yellen would bring a wealth of experience and insight to the role of Federal Reserve Chair and I look forward to meeting with her during the confirmation process."
If confirmed, Yellen would succeed current Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke, who testified before the Joint Economic Committee in May. Yellen would also become the first woman to fill the top role at the Federal Reserve in its 100 year history.

carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.

C18H12N2O6, sodium salt
Lithol Rubine is a deep transparent red dye, generally slightly bluish, that is laked as a salt with sodium or calcium to form a pigment. PR57 is the sodium salt, and has a more bluish tone. PR57:1 is the calcium salt, and is the most widely used. Lithol Rubine makes clean pinks when tinted. Sources vary greatly in hue and transparency. Lithol Rubine has high tinting strength.
Lightfastness is considered only fair to good. Superior products are available when lightfastness is paramount. Where greater lightfastness is needed in process color printing, the more expensive pigment PR184, a Naphthol AS pigment, is often substituted for Lithol Rubine.
Lithol Rubine is not considered toxic. It is used in food, drugs, and cosmetics, such as lipstick. It can be used in art materials intended for children.
Lithol Rubine pigments (especially the calcium salt PR57:1) are widely used in inks, paints, plastics, and textiles. Lithol Rubine is widely used as magenta in process color printing.

NEVADA CITY, Calif. — There will be no Nevada County ordinance to regulate the cultivation of marijuana — at least for two weeks.After six hours of presentation Tuesday from law enforcement, testimony from a wide range of public stakeholders and board deliberation, Nevada County's supervisors elected to delay voting on a medical marijuana ordinance until at least May 8.Supervisor Terry Lamphier said while much disagreement was offered by the public and board members, a consensus was apparent that some sort of ordinance is necessary moving forward.Supervisors considered two versions of the same ordinance — urgency and regular. The urgency ordinance would have immediately been enacted, while the other would continue through multiple public hearings before taking effect.However, Lamphier and Supervisor Hank Weston did not support the immediacy of the urgency ordinance, effectively delaying the implementation of a cultivation ordinance until at least early May. "I just don't see the urgency," Weston said. Supervisors Nate Beason, Ted Owens and Ed Scofield favored approving an urgency ordinance, which would have rendered provisions such as square-footage limitations, a ban on indoor grows and registration of grow operations with the Nevada County Sheriff's Office effective immediately.Owens said such a measure was necessary not only to accommodate those who were frustrated by grow operations in their residential neighborhoods, but also to give legitimate growers an opportunity to adhere to guidelines before the season begins.Weston, however, said the provisions requiring registration and banning indoor grows were concerning. Beason said the square-footage limitations were too strict and advocated for a 100-square-foot limit as opposed to the 75-square-foot limit as stipulated in the ordinance.Scofield said that once he learned the urgency ordinance could not be modified after it was approved, he withdrew his motion for approval."I continue to be swayed by those that use marijuana for legitimate medical needs," Scofield said after the meeting. "I would've like to see the ordinance get enacted so we get a handle on a situation of some people who operate outside the rules."Sheriff Keith Royal expressed satisfaction with the final result."I am pleased," he said. "This is a very tough, very difficult issue. But I think this allows us time to find out how we can benefit both sides on the issue."Don Bessee, a member of the Nevada County Residents Against the Cultivation of Cannabis, also said he was happy with the decision to delay."I think the bottom line is that there will be an ordinance to protect neighbors," Bessee said, adding he was open to some changes suggested by medical marijuana advocates and board members.Patricia Smith, president of the local Americans for Safe Access, said she also left the meeting encouraged some common ground could be achieved. Smith said registration is fine, but it should be handled by a third party to relieve fears of law enforcement enacting criminal proceedings against growers and would relieve the burden on county services.She also criticized the ban on indoor grows and the setbacks from property lines, saying the setbacks should be measured from a neighbor's house."I'm hopeful we can come together," said Smith, who earlier complained suggestions she had made in public workshops were disregarded in formation of the ordinance.Many lawyers, including prominent medical marijuana attorneys Jeffrey Lake and Zenia Gilg said litigation would follow if the ordinance was passed.Gilg said all county residents should be concerned that their taxes would be used to fight ongoing legal battles that were likely to ensue.Weston expressed concern about such a possibility; but, County Counsel Alison Barrett Green said the county was well within its legal rights to establish a nuisance ordinance."This is not a land use issue, it's a nuisance ordinance," she said. "It's now a question of policy."Barrett Green said the ordinance was purely a civil ordinance and not a criminal code, meaning the repercussions for flouting the ordinance amount to a civil matter.Ultimately, 47 people gave public comment during the meeting, with 34 people opposing the ordinance as crafted and 14 urging approval. Most of the 34 people in opposition said they recognized the need for some form of ordinance. If the regular ordinance is passed on May 8, it will not take effect until June 22, Barrett Green said. If the urgency ordinance is passed it will take effect immediately upon approval.
