Important Information >>
Insanity workout is really intense because it is designed to make you fit in 60 days. This article will help you gain knowledge about the benefits that you can get from this work out and why it is becoming more popular nowadays. This work out was released in 2009 and was dubbed as the hardest work out put on DVD. This is because of how the creator of the program structured the work outs. The key to this program is the max interval training. In the traditional interval training, you start with a cardiovascular exercise at a moderate level. After 30 seconds or a minute, you take it up to a higher level and then go back to the moderate level of exercise. The insanity is different. In max interval training, you have to work out as hard as you can for three minutes and then get a 30 second break. After that you need to work out again for another three minutes and again get a 30 second break. This will continue for the entire work out which runs from 45-60 minutes. This work out will really challenged you as you alternate your workout between aerobics and anaerobic performed at your max. This workout will push you to your limits as you perform the plyometric and cardio drills with intervals of power, strength, core training and resistance. It does not require any equipments or shape in order for you to do this work out. As long as you are ready to do it, this kind of work out will give you insane results in just 60 days. Does this work out really work? There are lots of people already who have tried this work out and they can testify to its result. For your convenience, you can read reviews online and see what other people can say about it. Surely, most of them will tell you how effective this work out was and how fast it can put you on shape. As stated earlier, insanity workout will last for about 40-60 minutes and it will make you burn 1000 calories every time you do the work out. As you push yourself to the limits there will be no reason for your body not to be in shape in just 2 months. So, if you are in search of a work out that can give you effective and fast result, insanity program is the best choice for you.

Two months after the president handily won a second term and the Democrats increased their numbers in both the House and Senate, GOP congressional leaders were in no position to negotiate a good "fiscal cliff" resolution. So it's not at all surprising that what emerged from the Biden–McConnell negotiations has satisfied almost no one, and certainly not many conservatives.
That being said, the January 1 tax deal needs to be put into proper perspective. The media are fixated on what is being called an Obama victory: He forced the GOP into retreat on the top income-tax rate. Yes, that was certainly a win for the president, something that was all but inevitable after November 6. But, despite what the president (and his apologists in the media) say, the top individual income-tax rate is not the sum and substance of the Bush-era tax policy. The benefits of the tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 went overwhelmingly to the American middle class, not high-income households, as the tables summarizing the deal from the Joint Tax Committee and the Congressional Budget Office have made clear. Compared with what would have happened if the Bush-era tax schedule had been allowed to expire entirely, the deal is a net $3.6 trillion ten-year tax cut.
Part of the problem for Democrats is that the Bush-era tax cuts are far more meaningful for most moderate-income families than anything ever done by the Obama administration. According to the Tax Policy Center, the Bush-era rates reduced the tax burden on households with incomes between $50,000 and $75,000 per year by $1,400 annually. For households with incomes between $75,000 and $100,000, the tax cut is worth about $2,250 each year. The president and his party fancy themselves the great protectors of the American middle class; certainly their campaign rhetoric in 2012 reflected this grandiose self-image. The irony is that, to put money where their mouths are, they were forced to become champions of George W. Bush's tax policy. Rich, indeed.
The main criticism, and an accurate one, of the fiscal-cliff agreement is that it secured a tax hike for the president that was not paired with any spending restraint whatsoever. The bill includes spending increases (an extension of unemployment compensation and another one-year undoing of the scheduled cut in Medicare physician fees), but not nearly enough cuts to offset them. Nothing has been done to address the real problem in the nation's finances: the ballooning costs of entitlement programs.
Some conservatives have taken heart in the fact that the agreement did not raise the debt limit, setting the stage for a more successful budgetary confrontation in another 60 days or so, when federal borrowing is expected to bump up against the current statutory ceiling. The argument is that raising the debt limit is so unpopular with the public that Republicans will have substantial leverage to extract meaningful spending cuts from the president. Unfortunately, this is more wishful thinking than a sound assessment of the political landscape.

Hockey fans everywhere are well aware that the Carolina Hurricanes are Cam Ward's team. He won them a Stanley Cup in his rookie season, took home a Conn Smythe and has been consistently been a bright spot on a team without much consistency. If Carolina's hockey community had the power to knight people, Cam Ward would be called 'Sir' faster than any other player to pass through the team — with all due respect to Ron Francis, Rod Brind'Amour, et al., of course.
What we ought to take away from all this is that Cam Ward isn't going anywhere. The 'Canes will do whatever it takes to keep him in the fold, to keep him happy and to keep him on top of the depth chart. When Brian Boucher was ruled out for four to six months by Jim Rutherford due to a shoulder injury, it earned a collective shoulder shrug from many. He's not Cam. But, the Boucher injury is an interesting development in this writer's eyes, because it begets the promotion of Justin Peters to take the number two spot behind Cam Ward.
If you're looking at prospective "Super Subs" for sale in the near future, Peters could very well be the man you're looking for.
Justin Peters was drafted by the Hurricanes in 2004 as a type of insurance. Cam Ward had just been signed to an entry level deal and the team needed to make sure that they had reserves on hand if their apparent goaltender of the future didn't quite cut it. Peters was the sixth goaltender taken in the "Ovechkin Draft" and with the exceptions of Cory Schneider and Devan Dubnyk, none of the five to go ahead of him have found more success at the NHL level unless you have strong feelings towards Al Montoya, Marek Schwarz or David Shantz.
Peters had a solid major junior career in the Ontario League as a three year starter with the St. Mike's Majors before being shipped to the Plymouth Whalers for one last playoff run to wrap up his time in the 'O'.
The Hurricanes have had quantities of depth at the goaltending position since Peters joined the organization. Quality of goaltending is another issue altogether. For the first four years of his pro career, Peters was shuffled between the AHL and ECHL as the Hurricanes worked to accommodate goaltenders such as John Grahame, Michael Leighton, Tyler Plante and the aforementioned Shantz into the minor league depth chart while Ward stayed steady at the top and Grahame, Leighton and eventually Brian Boucher got time with the big club.
Peters has been steadily working his way up the organization and playing well in the minor leagues when given the opportunity to start on a regular basis. After a good initial showing with the big club before a rough patch in 2010-11, Peters appears poised to get some games in during the upcoming season and will look to make an impression, not only on Jim Rutherford, but 29 other GMs around the NHL.
He is a UFA as of this Sunday, but the Hurricanes aren't talking like a team that will let him walk.
"One reason we got Brian last year was to give Justin more ice time and allow him to play more games in Charlotte," Rutherford said. "He played well when he was in Charlotte and played well when he was up with us. He's a better goalie than he was last year, and he was in the mix when we talked about our goalie situation for next year.
"We'll see what it looks like July 1 (in free agency). We have a lot of confidence in Justin and have him at the top of our list, but we'll wait and see before making any decisions."
We've seen a trend develop in recent years wherein backup goalies who excel behind stalwart number ones become coveted trade assets. They either force their way to the top of their homegrown depth chart, or make their way to another club. Consider Mike Smith, Anders Lindback, Josh Harding, Jaroslav Halak, Craig Anderson, Sergei Bobrovsky and Schneider of prime examples of this trend. Teams either had to make a play for them, or their club made sure to lock them down.
Justin Peters could very well be the next goalie in line.
It's hard to envision a reality which involves Cam Ward being removed from his perch in Carolina. He's still a fairly young player at 28 and is among the best goalies in the game. Peters, who will turn 26 in August, will likely need to find work starting elsewhere, but the chance to play games behind Ward appears to be his best bet if he's going to hop on radars.
There is an inherent skepticism that comes with the "small sample size" but they are an interesting point of reference nonetheless. In seven games last season, Peters was stellar for the Hurricanes. Despite a 2-3-2 record, he posted a 2.48 GAA and a .931 save percentage. Those numbers are no small task on a team as bad as the Hurricanes were last year.
Now, Peters could very well flop as a spot starter for the Hurricanes — provided he stays of course — and this line of argument will be dead as it stands. But the potential is there. He's not a big guy at 6-foot-1, 213 pounds, but he plays much bigger than his measurements, he is quiet in his net and displays the fundamentals of the position well. If you beat him, you probably beat him clean because you're not going to find him out of position or misplaying the puck.
He's not a lock, but if Justin Peters can build on a solid 2011-12 before Brian Boucher's return, he'll be playing regular NHL hockey very soon.
Who's your next breakout backup goalie?

In this competitive and growing business world, it is the game of money. The more a company is able to sell and talk about itself, the more is the likelihood of promising business opportunities.
Focusing on a good ambience and the furniture is the key. A good choice of furniture which includes reception desk and seats for visitors should be such that it creates a positive and convincing atmosphere. Balance your reception area, large or small, with proper furniture and an elegant theme. Organize your space effectively and evenly to create a reception that neither overcrowds the room, nor is too compact with less than the ideal seating provision. Again, balance and consistency is the key for furniture placement. Your choice of reception desk and seats; and design and theme should be uniform and not varying, divergent or inconsistent. Tourism is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. With this significant expansion in travel and tourism, there has been a growth in hotel and transportation industries and the competition has increased immensely. With an increase in the standards of accommodations in recent years, we are overwhelmed with options which offer high levels of accommodations and choosing the right hotel becomes important. This is where reception counters play a key role in attracting tourists and visitors. It is a reflection of a hotel's ambience, environment, vicinity, staff, location, accessibility and services. Hence, a hotel management must ensure that its reception counter has all the requisites of an ideal one, as a reception is the place where the hotel is coordinated.

News Article
Matangi resident Peter Morris has won the Waikato regions first ever Weedbusters awards. Mr Morris was nominated for his work converting six acres of weed-ridden gully to native bush near the Mangaharakeke Stream in Matangi. He won the private land category, but also took out the overall award for his outstanding achievements. His forest wetland ecosystem, which took years to create, is now flourishing, home to native birds and insects. Mr Morris has generously shared his knowledge and expertise with the community through workshops run by the University of Waikato. He has also allowed ecologists from Environment Waikato and other agencies to study his property. Environment Waikato Weedbusters coordinator Wendy Mead said Mr Morris passion and dedication had been factors in his win, along with the sheer amount of work hed put into the project, and his willingness to help others. Weed work is often seen as the least glamorous part of native restoration work, but its one of the most important things to get right, Ms Mead said. Its great to see people who are willing to put in a lot of voluntary time into fighting weeds and taking the initiative to improve our environment and special places. Other winners were the South Waikato Branch of the Forest and Bird Society and the Maungatautari Planting/Weeding Team, who took joint honours in the public land category. The South Waikato group has been working to spray and clear weeds and plant native trees at the Jim Barnett Scenic Reserve and Jones Landing, while the Maungatautari team has been contributing to the Maungatautari Ecological Island project on mountain slopes south of Lake Karapiro. The Oputere Residents and Ratepayers Association won a special prize in recognition of its work to clear privet from public land and private properties in the Coromandel area. All winners will receive a framed certificate and a gift basket of goodies to help them battle weeds. Weeds are recognised as one of the major threats to New Zealands biodiversity, damaging the environment, degrading areas of significance to Maori and costing more than $100 million a year to manage, Ms Mead said. Everybody can make a difference to the problem, even through small contributions like clearing weeds or taking care with what they plant and where. I commend everyone nominated for this years Weedbusters awards for their hard work and dedication to improving our environment. Nominations for the awards came from all over the region and were judged this week by a panel of representatives from Hamilton City Council, Forest and Bird and Waipa District Council. Weedbusters is a nationwide awareness programme that encourages New Zealanders to take action against weeds and pest plants. It is supported by regional councils, including Environment Waikato, the Department of Conservation, unitary authorities and other organisations. Biosecurity New Zealand, Biodiversity New Zealand, Landcare Research, Federated Farmers, NZ Landcare Trust, Nursery and Garden Industry Association, NZ Biosecurity Institute, and the NZ Plant Protection Society are some of the groups involved. For more information about Weedbusters, visit www.weedbusters.org.nz.

On Digital Strategy and Behavioral Targeting
Written by Katerina Zherebtsova
We make some very important decisions every day and whether life critical or strictly for pleasure, every decision requires thinking and weighing the alternatives. The closer we get to the moment when we need to make a decision, the more nervous we get and the more help we instinctively look for. Now lets leave the life's critical decisions for the moment to concentrate on one decision that most people have the luxury for: Lunch. Rather, getting distracted from your desk and having the liberating 10mins to an hour for picking the special treat for your daily, traditional and much anticipated lunch break.
Imagine this: it's 11am in your office and you are starting to get hungry, you are already shifting in your seat and thinking of what will you choose. Come 12pm and you are racing through…a salad, no a healthy burger…no maybe a delicious fish pie. 12.30: Still undecided and highly receptive to anything that bears the food connection you overhear your colleagues' quick poll for lunch today. 12.45 going, going, gone. And you choose the office favourite (the local burger with chips).
Then, the clock strikes 4 and an email lands in your inbox tempting you with tomorrow lunchtime's delicious meals, sandwiches and all you could have wished and hoped for back at 11am …. Come tomorrow and that email is so far up your email list or filed or lost in your Blackberry or iPhone, that you are back where you started at 11am: your office thinking of things to try.
Now if that email came at 11am? The queue that day would have doubled.
Being able to reach customers is key but reaching them at key times is crucial. And that's what Digital as a field and Digital Strategy in particular enables to do best. Results? Always a happier customer and increased ROI.

I love this story about Diogenes, the philosopher.
One day, Diogenes was eating bread and lentils, when he was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who made a very good living by flattering the king.
Aristippus sneered at the humble meal and told Diogenes, "If you would only learn to be subservient to the king like I have, you would not have to eat lentils."
Diogenes replied. "If you would only learn to like lentils like I have, you would never have to be subservient to the king."
When I get emails from people who want to know how to start an independent ministry or start a business or who tell me about how frustrated they are with the powers that be and their control over their lives, the first question I ask is:
"Do you like lentils?"
Because the only power anyone has over you is the power you give them. And most things cost more than the amount of money it takes to buy them.

I think its hilarious that you have Yi one place above Trynd, I also see Gragas is one place above Malz :P

How the heck is poppy tier 1? She has a good burst but after that she can get killed so easily. She's only good against high burst champs like LB, otherwise anything with sustain kills her so badly since her passive becomes worthless. I'm guessing people think she's OP because after poppy blows all her skills they run away in fear rather than just blow up poppy.
(re: Forestgreen02) In dominion you have to take into account the champion's ability to maintain point control and/or disrupt point control for the opposing team. Even if all 5 are sitting on the point, she can effectively initiate without fear of point damage. I know that people get caught up in the champ vs champ sub-game, but dominion is about holding more points than the opposing team and normal mode is about killing the nexus. Champion killing certainly contributes to both of those goals, but does not tell the entire story. Earlier in this thread someone mentioned the staying power of Amumu - they're correct. If built right he can squat on a point and just tank with his huge AOE, keeping others from taking the point from him by alternating point capture between teammates to keep the tower off of them while clearing him off the point. We've all had games where our K/D is amazing, yet we still lose. Or games where teammates always chase kills instead of capping or taking a tower out. The point is, solo queue is full of people who chase kills like cats chase a laser pointer - they can't resist the lure of the shiny (gold) light. Of course, like the OP mentioned, I am probably seeing a much different game than you, being far lower ELO. It's all relative!

With last week's hiring of Scott Frost as offensive coordinator, new head coach Mark Helfrich finds even more continuity on one of the most stable coaching staffs in the country. Previously wide receivers coach, Frost brings both a winning attitude and experience on both sides of the ball.
He began his college career as a quarterback for Stanford before transferring to Nebraska and compiling a 24-2 record as the Cornhuskers' starting quarterback. Before graduating, he became just the 10th player to rush for at least 1,000 yards and pass for 1,000 more in the same season. Oh, and he beat Peyton Manning's Tennessee Volunteers to win the 1997 National Championship.
In the NFL, Frost bounced a bit, notably playing safety for the New York Jets under head coach Bill Parcells. He was hired as the Ducks' wide receiver coach in 2009 after stints in Northern Iowa.
But all of that is trivia.
What matters now is how the Ducks' offense will evolve under Helfrich and Frost. Here are two potential methods Oregon's offense could use to maintain its hallmark constant scoring.
Jeff Maehl 2.0? Few will argue Oregon's bread and butter is its rushing attack. In fact, with junior Josh Huff's nagging injuries, the Ducks haven't had a go-to wideout since Jeff Maehl graduated in 2011. That could change next season as true freshman Bralon Addison gains confidence, but Oregon fans should also be excited for incoming freshman Devon Allen.
Allen, who is expected to sign a letter of intent with the Ducks on National Signing Day, matches Maehl's exact dimensions (6-foot-1, 185 pounds), and could be a good deal faster — he plans to run track for the Ducks and had thought about trying to walk on to the football team until quarterback Bryan Bennett transferred.
Bennett's move freed open a scholarship spot, and the Phoenix native got the call from Frost.
Aloha, Marcus. Senior running back Kenjon Barner's graduation leaves a hole in Oregon's backfield. Will-be junior De'Anthony Thomas will likely handle a heavier workload, but Thomas has never been used as a traditional back in his collegiate career. Will-be sophomore Byron Marshall could immediately help Thomas — as could five-star incoming freshman Thomas Tyner — but what if the Ducks' running game falters early?
Quarterback Marcus Mariota is the best pure passer Oregon has seen since maybe Joey Harrington. The Hawaii native set the school's single-season record for total touchdowns with 38 (32 passing, 5 rushing, 1 receiving), passing a mark shared by Darron Thomas and Akili Smith. He also set the school's mark for completion percentage at 68.5 and had a shot at breaking the NCAA freshman record of 69.7.
How much better can he get? Oregon fans could find out, especially if the Ducks are forced to rely on Mariota's arm while the backfield rotation gets settled.

What's your stance on digital-only releases?
Better than nothing
Refuse to patronize
What's your stance on digital-only releases?
Better than nothing
Refuse to patronize
It's not what he's eating, but what's eating him that makes it ... sort of interesting.
I've got a mixed opinion. It depends on a lot of things.
In many cases, I've preferred the physical copies, although having the ability to go digital is nice. I've loved smaller games as digital, like most XBLA games, but for the most part I haven't touched Games on Demand.
On the other hand, I've gone completely digital with my PSP at this point. Its easier to go full digital with a handheld. But the 3DS is a different story. I'd love to go digital only for the 3DS as well, but a lot of retail games aren't available, and my biggest issue is that Nintendo doesn't have a proper account system. So at this point, until Nintendo figures it out, I only get VC games and games that are only digital releases in that format.
When it really comes down to it, I'd go fully digital in most cases if any of the major console/handheld makers did it right. When the digital price is the same or higher than what I could buy a physical copy for, I'll get physical. There is absolutely no reason that the digital price shouldn't be cheaper than the physical price, since they no longer have a lot of the added costs physical release entails. But right now they are too slow to release, too slow to drop the price, and too slow to get me interested.
And then there is the Vita. I'd go digital only there too, if I had one. But the price of the proprietary memory sticks are downright criminal. I balked at paying $100 for a 120GB hard drive for my 360 years ago, but $100 for 32GB is ridiculous. Its hard to consider going full digital with the Vita when the price of entry is that high.
The PC has a lot of well thought out and well designed models, both in Steam and GOG. I prefer GOG for lack of DRM, but Steam has its uses as well. The Steam model in particular would have made a lot of sense for the next console generation, I'm still shocked they didn't go full digital. Microsoft could have saved a lot of face if they had. I can see myself going full digital in the future, once the companies get their acts together and do it in a customer friendly way.
And in most cases, I'm ok with digital only releases. XBLA has been great, and I think its a cheaper way for distributing games that may not have been seen otherwise, like Unchained Blades and Ace Attorney on the 3DS.

Nowadays I prefer digital on my PC and portables, and physical for home consoles (unless of course it's a free game on PlayStation Plus). Once console hard drives get bigger, I'll probably get digital for every game I'm sure of unless there are some really cool physical goodies that come with the game.

I'm pretty firmly digital, with the exception of 3DS games -- we can't share them across multiple systems unless it's a physical copy, and even then DLC is a pain.
I like digital for those good games I like, but can't really bring myself to buy at full price. Nowadays you see digital versions of those games popping up for $5 or so, so it's worth waiting. I prefer physical copies of games I really like.
I'll take digital when it's the only viable way to get it. I'm old fashion and something of a collector, so I like to have physical copies when I can.

I prefer to have the physical so I can keep it forever OR resale to recoup some of the cost. However, I think it's great to have older games available for digital download when it becomes impossible to get them in stores or costs an arm-and-leg online. But for something new? Never. I just don't see the point. It'd have to cost 80% less than physical retail to be a viable option to me.

If digital-only is the only way to get obscure things (Phoenix Wright, Senran Kagura, etc) then I'll go that route.

It depends on what kind of account system is available for the service the game is released on. I'm a digital only guy for PC. Physical only guy for 3DS. Mixed on anything else.

I'm paranoid about getting digital, especially for PC. I once downloaded a game called Memento Mori only to find out it doesn't suit my OS, did everything from update my drivers to running as admin, the only thing I didn't do was change the PC...waste of $$. I asked for a refund and never got it... I like the feeling of browsing in a gaming shop and asking the counter staff weird questions, which isn't kind of experience you'd get with digital.
I prefer physical copies for full games(moreso to save HD space and not have to wait forever for downloads) on consoles/handheld but if digital only, I have no problem buying them.
I never buy physical on PC anymore.
Nowadays, unless it's GOG I'm firmly in the "refuse to patronize" camp. I would honestly rather a game not exist at all than only be available through submitting to online checks. As you can imagine, I rarely use my PC for gaming anymore.
"What the f--- is a Shakespeare?"
-Rico Valasquez, showing off why no one likes him.
My opinion is that I only prefer digital if I'm getting a discount, an older game or something obscure. If I'm paying $40-$60 for a major new release, I'd much rather have the physical copy.
Physical only for games who are 10GBs or more. The digital games I buy are those small $15 USD games.
Never buy a game published by D3 Publisher that is not WKCII. They cheated on their fans by releasing a game that they didn't support not even for a year and they released a rushed translation.
Definitely digital for me. When I was younger I loved having the case/box/manual for all my games. But as I get older, I'm tired of carting around all this extra stuff whenever i move and recently garbaged a whole bunch if stuff. Plus I have had games get damaged for whatever reason. So now I only buy digitally.
Plus backward compatibility issues with systems erks me way too much.
I like digital releases, but I hate DRM. So, I like buying digital when there's no DRM (GOG), don't care if it's trivial to break (PSP), and I'm willing to put up with it if it's minimally intrusive and the distribution service provides various other features and conveniences (Steam).
In other situations, I vastly prefer physical releases and will only buy digital if it's the only way to get a game and the price is cheap.
What I find more fascinating is how quickly peoples' opinions have changed about digital distribution. Just a couple years ago you'd see polls like this where the vast majority of votes favoured physical copies. By the end of those first years, it shifted to more like 50-50. Now you often see digital winning out.
Not surprising, really. I figured this would happen. Go ahead. Check my post archive.
It depends on the game. If I can reasonably afford the games in hard copy, I'll usually go that route. However, if a good sale comes along (e.g. some of the more awesome Atlus sales on PSP titles over the past few years), I'll go that route instead. Also, as much as I like collecting retro hardware, I was more than satisfied to download several PC-Engine and Neo Geo games when they turned up on Nintendo's Virtual Console with reasonable price-tags.

Apple is reportedly working on a new version of its set-top box, the Apple TV, and it's likely to be released in the first half of 2014.
The last proper version of the Apple TV was released in March 2012 and many fans were hoping to see a new incarnation at Apple's last keynote, alongside the iPad launches. Apple obviously decided to keep that event just for tablet releases and has been working on its TV set-top box ever since. Testing for the Apple TV is well underway, and it's rumored for a release as early as the first half of this year.
A new Apple TV operating system will also accompany the hardware release and will be based on iOS. The Apple TV will also contain more content – primarily the introduction of a 'Game Store'. Users will be able to download games through their Apple TV and play them through the use of a Bluetooth controller. The rumors also suggest that iCloud could be used to store the games. Users with older versions of the Apple TV might even be able to update to the new OS and access the Game Store, though it's difficult to see how that would work without Bluetooth capabilities updated in the hardware. Apple might also finally release a proper Apple TV App-Store – something that will definitely be good news to some fans.
While the news of an updated Apple TV is definitely welcome, it seems to put paid to the rumors that Apple will release a full TV set. The Apple iTV has been discussed for a while now but apparently plans have been put back to 2015, due to problems with content licensing. We hope Apple can sort out any issues with the content providers soon, but for now, we'll take this Apple TV announcement.

OLYMPIA -- Washington's Law Enforcement Group Against Identity Theft, better known as LEGIT, today announced Washington's first statewide shred-a-thon. Events at 29 locations statewide will help raise awareness of identity theft prevention and assist the public in keeping sensitive documents out of the hands of crooks. Financial institutions, retailers, small businesses, nonprofit organizations and commercial shredding companies have volunteered to host simultaneous shredding events for the public on Saturday, April 28. Shredding will be available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or until trucks are full, whichever comes first. Consumers and small businesses are invited to bring sensitive documents to be destroyed at no charge. In order to accommodate as many people as possible, there is a limit of three grocery bags or two file boxes per customer. Police, government officials, business leaders and other experts will be on hand to answer questions and share valuable information about preventing identity theft. Attorney General Rob McKenna will be among them.
Each year, more than 5,000 Washington residents become identity theft victims. LEGIT Chair Susan Storey, a King County deputy prosecutor, said the shred-a-thon aims to raise awareness of the importance of protecting personal information.
"Identity thieves rifle through trash, recycling bins and mailboxes in search of checks, bank statements and bills," Storey said. "They later use personal information provided on those documents to steal money from your accounts or open new credit cards. Both homeowners and businesses are at risk. We want consumers and businesses to develop habits for protecting personal information that become second nature, like locking your front door, wearing a seatbelt, and putting out a campfire."
"Prevention is the strongest armor," said Attorney General Rob McKenna. "The Attorney General's Office and law enforcement want to build a statewide army of smart consumers and businesses. Events like LEGIT's shred-a-thon aim to equip Washington residents with the knowledge needed to defend themselves. Together, we can shred identity theft to bits."
LEGIT encourages consumers and businesses to think "SMART":
Secure your identity and financial information.Minimize risks.Act responsibly.Restrict access to only those who need the information.Think before providing personal information to requesters.
More information about the shred-a-thon, including locations, partipating businesses and organizations, and a list of suggested items to destroy is available on the LEGIT Shred-a-thon Web site at www.atg.wa.gov/Shredathon.aspx.
Washington's Law Enforcement Group Against Identity Theft, better known as LEGIT, is organizing a statewide free shred-a-thon April 28 to promote identity theft prevention. Consumers and small businesses are invited to bring sensitive documents to be destroyed at any of 29 locations. Shredding will be available from 10 to 2 or until trucks are full, whichever comes first.

Stroll Around one of our campuses—from New York to Nanjing—and you'll see evidence of promises kept. First you'll notice the bricks-and-mortar evidence: the 10,000 square feet we are adding at NYIT-Old Westbury's Student Activities Center, or the 42,000 square feet of additional space at NYIT-Manhattan in the heart of Columbus Circle.
Wander through our buildings and you will find even more: smart boards; distributed learning centers that can connect students and faculty to their counterparts thousands of miles away; or the digital signs announcing student events, internships, and more. Everything is clean and well maintained.
"One must have a good memory," Friedrich Nietzsche said, "to be able to keep the promises that one makes." Well, we will all need capacious memories because NYIT is bent on fulfilling the promises it has made.
We are listening to students and professors, of course. We harnessed their enthusiasm and devised a solarpowered station to charge NYIT's vehicles in Old Westbury. We are also seeking the advice of companies that are hiring our graduates, and we vow to listen carefully and follow that advice when possible. For example, architectural firms wanted us to build a space that would mirror an architect's office, so we did. For visiting lecturers speaking to students, we wanted a stellar facility for dynamic presentations. We exceeded all expectations; just take a look at the NYIT Auditorium on Broadway.
The promises go far beyond what you can see in classrooms and parking lots. In our visionary plan, NYIT 2030, we pledged to do better on all fronts. And so we are: Our endowment is up and enrollment is strong. Believe it or not, budgets are up, too.
We told everybody that we would increase the quality of our students. In the fall 2010 semester, NYIT's incoming classes had the highest academic credentials we've ever seen. Students enrolling in our architecture program, for example, earned an average of 30 points higher on their SATs than those entering last year, while the GMAT scores of our new M.B.A. students have risen nearly 70 points.
We are emphasizing these advances for reasons that are far more important than bragging rights. At a time when those paying college tuition are asking for excellence and prominence in return, we are delivering.
As the number of high school graduates declines in America's Northeast, we have promised to redouble our efforts to attract students from other regions. We are doing that, too. This fall, the campuses in our New York hub benefitted from a 14 percent increase in students enrolling from areas such as Florida, Georgia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. We also are welcoming more students from places such as Turkey, South Korea, and China … in all, 106 nations—a record high for us.
Outside observers are already noticing our improvements. Over the summer, the Chronicle of Higher Education named us a great college to work for.
As a U.S.-based institution, NYIT also has an obligation to help America retain its competitive edge, especially at a time when six countries considered emerging economies are achieving increases in college completion at twice the U.S. rate. The nation that democratized higher education after World War II with the G.I. bill is now lagging, and it is up to higher education to help graduate the next generation of professionals.
In response to this, I have challenged all of our instructors to forge learning experiences that push students to the next level and make better use of technology in the classroom.
Even in these difficult times, NYIT remains committed to expanding our efforts to improve the education and career prospects of our students as they lead us into the 21st century.
Edward Guiliano, Ph.D.

What a creative idea! I set a table for the History Center's Creche Luncheon every year, and this past year, we did "I'll have a Blue Christmas Without You".

How thoughtful of you to set that up for your friend! And the slide show was fun to see! So many details to catch (I need to go back and study it some more). I saw a tiny little Charleston cookbook like I bought there a few years back, and boy, do I love that monogrammed silver teapot. Saw some trios that made me think Friendship Tea must have had a table there, too! Lovely!

Heidelberg Showcasing Visionary Print Applications in Its R&D Center
January 10, 2013Intelligent surfaces from the press
Many applications in the area of functional printing are still little more than visions for the future. Printed, intelligent surfaces, called touch codes, that Heidelberg is showcasing in the form of interactive printed ID cards with an integrated electronic structure are one example of an application that has already reached the market-ready stage.
Placing a touch code card of this kind on an iPad opens an app or Web browser that offers access to specific content. The card, therefore, serves as a copy-protected license for electronic information in protected or closed applications, for example, thus building a bridge to mobile terminals.
Unlike conventional QR codes, there is no need to take a photo using a smartphone. The touch code acts as a paper key and is simply placed on the display. In cooperation with Chemnitz-based Printechnologics GmbH Heidelberg has developed touch code technology applications for particular market segments and shows, how these applications can be employed.
Another example of an intelligent surface is a film-based lighting element that takes the form of "printed light." The lighting effects are based either on electroluminescence or on printed OLEDs (organic LEDs, light-emitting diodes). They can be applied to folding cartons either as a solid area or as an informative detail in the form of numbers, text, or logos.
Printed electronics in print products thus constitute the lighting elements of the future. Heidelberg is currently working on advanced concepts for decorative light on larger areas.
Another new application from Heidelberg is the "Smart Shelf," which delivers concepts for the packaging shelf of the future. In this case, both the folding carton and the surface of the shelf are equipped with printed electronic components to communicate information such as the shelf's fill level. This technology can also be used with point-of-sale applications for interaction with the customer.
The "decorative printing on any surface" section of the FEZ's Innovation Gallery showcases possible applications for printing on any curved surface. Although the development from 2D high-productivity industrial printing to 3D is still in the early stages, initial applications are already possible. The focus here is on how everyday objects such as furniture, sports goods, toys, cars, industrial products, architectural elements, and entire facades can be decorated with customized and, if appropriate, reversible designs.
Surface drying and digital imaging
In the "drying and structuring surfaces" section of the FEZ's Innovation Gallery new dryer technologies and systems are presented, including energy-efficient UV LED dryer modules and a laser drying technology that heats only the ink and not the substrate, a development that is advantageous from a process engineering perspective. The major benefit is that the waiting times between press and postpress can be cut drastically.
The display also features a laser module concept that enables the partial drying or structuring of surfaces. This digital multi-channel module opens up the possibility of further potential future applications in the area of digital imaging.

MISSOULA - Well hot dog, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is in town and it's giving away free stuff!
We got a tour of the traveling hot dog that's full of "buns of puns." It has a cloud ceiling and a "bun roof" not a "sun roof," a mustard strip on the floor, and when people ride up front, they call that "shot bun" instead of shot gun. The 2004 model is 60 hotdogs long and has an IWSHIWR license plate.
The Hotdoggers, that's what the drivers are called, tell us they do events at grocery stores, nursing homes, and have even done a wedding.
There are only 6 wiener-mobiles that tour the country, and the drivers say they rarely make it to Montana.
If you want to see the iconic hot dog on wheels, it will be at the Wal-Mart on Highway 93 South this Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and then at the Wal-Mart on Mullan this Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The Hotdoggers will be giving away free goodies and giving tours. You can follow the Hotdoggers on their blog by clicking here. You can also become a fan on Facebook by clicking here.

It's a New Democracy!
Another New Year.
Should I have used an exclamation point? Shouted out the calendrical truth?
When each new year brings the same old nonsense, an exclamation point seems a bit like overkill. British novelist E.M. Forster famously said that democracy was worth "two cheers, not three." Does a new year deserve at best half an exclamation?
After all, there will be many repetitions in 2013 of what we saw in 2012.
Incumbent politicians will just "happen" to throw up hurdles, making initiative measures harder to put on the ballot as well as more difficult to pass. They will also continue to support "campaign finance" regulations that will "just happen" to make incumbents more likely to get re-elected.
And of course they will continue to heap scorn on, and oppose any way they can, term limits.
Further, their tendency to avoid properly dealing with unsustainable government worker pension programs set to unravel in too many states and localities, will still continue, up until (and past?) the last possible moment for reform.
Similarly, the national debt will grow. Politicians will still get away with calling slight reductions in expected spending increases "spending cuts," even when spending continues to soar.
But hey: at some point the politic avoidance of responsibility will evaporate when the economy these fools are driving hits the proverbial wall.
Before that happens, it sure would be to our advantage to take over our own government, wresting power away from politicians and creating real measures of accountability. We'll need democratic tools like initiative and referendum.
Three cheers for citizens who take the initiative . . . and a few unashamed exclamation points!!
This is Common Sense! I'm Paul Jacob.

In addition, any new bidders will be up against a lowered sale price for the company.
Bruce Bailey, counsel for Hardwick Clothes, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Shelley D. Rucker he had received the request at the last minute on May 16, the last day either bids or a request for an extended period could be made.
Bailey did not disclose the identity of the person or persons making the request.
The order for bidding procedures issued April 15 included, at the insistence of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation — Hardwick's largest debtor — a stipulation that should a potential bidder notify the Hardwick attorneys they desired "additional time to conduct due diligence," and gave that notice by May 16, the deadline for bidding would be extended to May 30.
The extension opens up the time frame for any bidder and not just the potential bidder who requested the new deadline.
Another revelation during Wednesday's hearing was that Jones CapitalCorp. and Hardwick had been in negotiations over the past few weeks concerning necessary improvements to the Hardwick plant.
Bailey noted the plant used diesel boilers until the 1990s and the environmental levels of any substances related to the use of diesel fuels had been "approved by TDEC (Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation)."
"At that time, screening levels were more stringent than they are now," Bailey said. "The current levels are not OK by today's standards," he added.
He told the court Jones has an environmental consultant still at work on the issue, but under the terms of the approved procedures Hardwick could fix the issues themselves and still sell at the original agreed-to price of $2 million or renegotiate that price.
Hardwick chose to renegotiate with Jones and the price was reduced to $1.9 million.
The new schedule of events will be the bidding deadline of May 30.
If one or more competing bids against the current bid by Jones CapitalCorp. are received, an auction would be held in Chattanooga at 9 a.m. on June 2.
Whether an auction is held or not, a final court determination on the sale of Hardwick Clothes would come in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, at a hearing on June 6 at 9:30 a.m.

Sounders finally get a chance to reenergize
The Sounders, who have five MLS games remaining, went 4-1 to close out the past two seasons and 3-1-1 in 2009. They'll need another strong finish to ensure a good seed in the playoffs.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Sounders @ Vancouver,
6 p.m.
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Practice notes: Osvaldo Alonso misses another session with leg injury NEW - 1/28, 05:23 PM
TUKWILA — Practice time.
It seems like a given for a professional sports team, but not in recent weeks for busy Sounders FC.
Seattle has played 17 games, including the MLS Reserve League, since the start of August. Couple that with some international travel and off days for rest, and that leaves little time for the training field.
But relief has finally arrived as the Sounders have just two games in the next three weeks — a reprieve that will greatly help preparation for the playoffs.
"I think we can really get some things accomplished and established in terms of how we want to play, and work on things we still we need to sharpen up going into the playoffs," said coach Sigi Schmid.
Just five games remain in Seattle's regular season, and at 13-7-9 the team has all but clinched a fourth straight playoff berth and sits in fourth place in the Western Conference. The conference's No. 1 seed is seemingly out of reach — the Sounders are 12 points behind first-place San Jose — so the primary objective the rest of the way will be earning a first-round bye with a No. 2 or No. 3 seed.
With Los Angeles and Real Salt Lake as worthy competition, Seattle will need another strong finish to the year. The Sounders' trend has been just that, having gone 4-1 to close out the past two seasons and 3-1-1 in 2009.
A late run will start against a pair of rivals; Seattle travels to Vancouver on Saturday before hosting Portland on Oct. 7.
"It's Cascadia Cup time," Schmid said.
No friendly in 2013 season-ticket packages
For the first time in team history, an international friendly won't be a part of season-ticket packages in 2013. Instead, they will consist only of Seattle's 17 regular-season games.
"We've obviously done a bunch of friendlies over the years," said general manager Adrian Hanauer. "They've gone really well, we enjoy doing them, but at the same time, we've listened to our fans. It's of course mixed, but some of the feedback is, 'We're way more interested in competitive games than exhibitions.' ... It doesn't mean we won't do a friendly — it's still possible — but we would sell it as a one-off."
Hanauer said this move will give the team a stronger negotiating platform with potential friendly opponents. Issues can include the playing surface, date, kickoff time, ticketing and sponsors.
"If we get pushed into a corner to accept certain terms from a big club in Europe that thinks they can dictate terms, we can say, 'Thanks but no thanks,' because we won't be forced to do a game," Hanauer said.
Seattle hosted top English club Chelsea FC this summer in front of 53,309, but the attendance was lower than league games against Vancouver, Los Angeles and what's expected against Portland.
• As promised in Year 1, Sounders FC will soon hold a vote to retain or remove Hanauer. Season-ticket holders and Alliance members are invited to participate from Oct. 7 to Dec. 7. There must be 10,000 ballots cast for the vote to be valid and the result will be announced at a Dec. 13 business meeting. More information is available at SoundersFCvote.com.
• Defender Patrick Ianni (adductor) is listed as questionable on the midweek injury report and trained off to the side during Monday's practice. Midfielders Mauro Rosales (quad) and Christian Tiffert (ankle) are listed as probable and look ready to go this weekend.
• Schmid said he has had talks recently with U.S. men's national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann regarding forward Eddie Johnson. The conversations, according to Schmid, centered more on the next round of FIFA World Cup qualifying in February and not upcoming games in October.

The average home may have two TVs, a VCR, a DVD player, a CD player, a stereo, three telephones, and several battery chargers for cell phones, cameras, and other devices. Many home electronic products use energy when they're off to power features like clock displays, remote controls, and to provide "instant on" features. In fact, up to 40% of all the electricity used to power these home electronics is consumed while the products are turned off. Across the US, this equals the annual output of 17 power plants. If these products were replaced with ENERGY STAR models, it would save over 25 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent to taking over 3 million cars off the road. Electronics that have earned the ENERGY STAR label use as much as 50% less energy to perform these functions, while providing the same performance at the same price as less-efficient models. Less energy means you pay less on your energy bill.
Computer equipment is also a big user of electricity. Overall, ENERGY STAR labeled computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, copiers and scanners use about half as much electricity as standard equipment. An important part of an ENERGY STAR computer is a special power management feature that automatically puts the system into a low-power sleep mode when not in use; this feature reduces energy consumption by 80 percent. It's important to make sure the power management feature is enabled, especially if computers are left on for many hours of the day. Monitor power management (MPM) can save $10 to $30 per monitor annually by placing your inactive monitors into a low-power sleep mode. Computer power management (CPM) places inactive computers (CPU, hard drive, etc.) into a low-power sleep mode, which can save $15 to $45 per desktop computer annually.
If you are planning to purchase new home electronic equipment, look for the ENERGY STAR label to be sure that you are getting the most efficient product. That way you can not only save on your energy bill but you can also do your part to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. In addition to looking for the ENERGY STAR label, consumers should look for products that are more energy efficient. For example, a notebook computer uses only 20 percent of the energy a desktop model uses and a flat screen monitor uses less than half the energy of a standard monitor.
Finally, the best way to conserve energy with all existing home electronic equipment: turn it off. Computer equipment in sleep mode still draws electricity, so turn it off if not used for awhile. Other equipment, like TVs, VCRs, DVD players can be plugged into an outlet strip operated by a single switch. It may take a few moments to warm up, but the savings in energy can be significant. Consider having all your rechargeable devices plugged into the same outlet strip plugged into a timer switch. That way you can charge those batteries for a few hours every day instead of running electricity through the chargers continuously.

Dear Nursing Students/Orientees: A Love Note from the Preceptor from Hell - page 4
Warning: The following post is rife with brutal honesty and frustration. Read at your own risk. Memorandum from the desk of Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociopath~~ Dear Nursing... Read More
10Dec 4, '12 by CheesePotatoGreetings!
First of all, thank each and every one of your for a reply and a point of view. I find the spectrum of answers interesting, to say the least and, sadly, it would take me ages to reply to each.
A few points, however, that I feel merit mentioning:
~~ I most certainly do not have the goal of making anyone cry or otherwise engaging in sabotage, mud slinging, etc etc etc. Participating in any of this behavior would defeat the purpose and render the whole process of preceptorship completely useless. And as someone who was set up....repeatedly...by a preceptor (No, not the one I acknowledge), I can tell you first hand that it's just miserable. I would never do such a thing to someone. That's just....rotten.
~~ I do not tear down my orientees or students. Ever.
~~ Please remember that any over the top prose are meant to be tongue in cheek and most assuredly taken with a grain of salt.
~~ No one should ever, ever be subjected to bullying or feeling fearful of their co-workers.. You have the right to a safe work environment.
~~ I have yet to master the whole plume of purple smoke disappearing act. To date, I keep getting my thighs stuck on the entrance to the magic lamp thus spoiling the effect. No, slathering them with Crisco does not help.
~~ Preceptor/Orientee mismatch does happen. When it does, it is in everyone's best interest that a proper match be found.
~~ Although I may be mistaken, I did not say that I do not enjoy precepting. Some of my favorite times are seeing the moments of "ah-ha!" when it all just clicks.
I acknowledge and appreciate all of the various opinions and feedback. The passionate responses were simply awesome. This field is blessed to have individuals willing to take a stand in what they view and what they believe.
Sincerest regards,
~~CP~~Last edit by CheesePotato on Dec 4, '12 : Reason: Horrible spacing issues and a spacebar that sprouted a mind of its own -
9Dec 4, '12 by ThePrincessBride, BSN, RN"Let me be frank....well, more frank: It is not my job to be your friend. It is not my job to be your nanny, your partner, or your teacher."
Yikes. This could not be further from the truth, and if you cannot see the errors of this thinking, then you have no business being anyone's preceptor.
And then you contradict this previous statement: "I promise you that my knowledge is yours to access any time, day or night. Even when I've stolen a precious few seconds in the bathroom or are snarfing down a sandwich. If you have a question, for the love of all things sacred and delicious, ask. Yes, even the "stupid" questions."
And then again: "But we'll relearn/learn it together."
If that is not partnership, then what is it?
4Dec 4, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNCheesePotato, you did it again. Bravo. This crusty old bat has been the mean mother to a lot of folks, and it's so nice to hear from someone else who gets why.
14Dec 4, '12 by ThePrincessBride, BSN, RNQuote from CherylRNBSNI agree. I had a clinical instructor who broke and failed me and guess what? It made me hate her even more. She was a complete, wicked witch. My next clinical instructor was very sweethearted and I found that I was more open to her constructive criticism than my former instructor tearing me apart and making me feel like absolute **** about myself. Breaking the hardworker's spirit is just not cool in my book and it fits the stereotype of nurses eating their young to the fullest.Um, this article seems a bit over the top to me. Medical professionals are predatory, smell blood, etc.? I've been a nurse for over twenty years. That is way over the top.
As many other posters have said, the way you precept, and your attitude, your leadership style may be a great match for some orientees.
But not for me.
I don't think anyone needs to be "broken down" in order to reach their full potential.
And it's kind of condescending to think all new nurses need to be petted and coddled, and it is your job to toughen them up and show them how the real world is.
I, and many others, were well equipped with enough innate intelligence that we already possessed some pretty good critical thinking skills before we ever even started nursing school, and also realize we have an intrinsic responsibility for our own professional growth and development.
I look at new grads and nursing students as colleagues. I do not try to intimidate them. I get to know them as a person on some level; i.e., ask them when they are graduating, their future career goals, etc. I respect them, and they respect me. I freely tell them everything I know. I assure them there are no stupid questions. That knowing what one does not know is a cornerstone of safe practice.
Positive, healthy interactions with all coworkers go a long way in making tough shifts bearable, even enjoyable.
Support, teamwork, respect, sharing of knowledge, modeling leadership, and yes, KINDNESS. Despite whatever else is going on in my personal or work life.
So I don't worry about my orientees speaking about their experience with me as a preceptor with other staff.
Some nurses have a complex and feel that they must be "big and bad" to the newbies. If that isn't a way to chase off some good students... -
4Dec 4, '12 by somenurse<----------stands up and applauds cheesepotato's awesome post!! Love it!!
edit: oh my, some are protesting it?? i may have skimmed something? i will have to go back and read more carefully, as this article did not seem harsh to me, but, i did skim a bit of it.
edit#2---nope, i STAND AND APPLAUD, i have now read every word, and LOVED it, wasn't harsh, imo, at all, but very realistic. LOVED IT!!Last edit by somenurse on Dec 4, '12 -
2Dec 4, '12 by 08RNGradI had two varying preceptors. The first pretty much made me watch everything on the sidelines, I learned nothing. My second, was an extemely kind and intelligent preceptor that truly took me under her wing. She loved teaching and wanted me to be the best I could be. We became close friends, she was even a guest at my wedding. I got lucky in this situation. I wouldn't ever expect to be buddy buddy with a preceptor, but it was nice to be able to work with someone so supportive of me, and I'm not going to lie, a little positive reinforcement really helped me. I don't work from negative reinforcement.
Although, If I were a preceptor, I would surely get frustrated if I had an orientee making the same mistakes repeatedly. I may take more of a tough love approach with faced in that situation.
I think its important that people are offered the choice to precept or not, no one should be forced into it. C.P. you sound like you demand your orientees to think which is a good thing. You also sound like you could be a wee bit imtimidating, just depends on the personalities you work with I suppose, as to how well they cope. Cheers to you for putting it out there.carme76 and CheesePotato like this. -

1Dec 4, '12 by Lev <3, BSN, RNQuote from squatmunkie_RNI do not agree with this. This describes a great preceptor! Tough love is the best.Dude...what's your problem? If you don't want the burden of precepting, or working with students then don't! All of this is so unnecessary. Why make yourself this upset and angry? This letter is dripping with anger and hostility. Glad I don't work with people like this...And super glad I didn't have a preceptor like you either. It doesn't take all this nonsense to help someone become a great nurse.CheesePotato likes this.

P.S. The clock is ticking on my credit, they only give you 14 days to decide.
Hi Linda,
The manufacturer's warranty isn't supposed to work that way. There is a precise model, which the factory will use as an even exchange. Issuing a credit is something the stores do to extract more money from you. In 3 years, there have been price increases...mostly due to the price of oil driving everything else up. Anyway, the ploy is that you are issued full credit toward the purchase of something else. You would then, conceivably, be paying more for the same mattress that the factory would issue to you as an even exchange.
You should read the warranty card from Sealy. All you should be paying is the delivery charge.

Viddler's Flash video recorder makes it very simple to allow a user to record video straight to Viddler using their webcam on their computer. This process bypasses Viddler's uploading and encoding procedures and recorded videos are available immediately after recording for playback.
The process to record a video
- Retrieve a Viddler record token
- Put the token in the recorder's embed code
- (optional) Edit the details of the video after the user hits save
For a more detailed view of this process see our document entitled: How to: Record with Webcam.
Available Flashvars
- recordToken – (required) unique token needed to record
- permalink – Used as the finished video's permalink after recording
- maxlength – (in seconds) sets a custom max length of a recorded footage.
- audioOnly – "Y", "1?, "T" values will switch recorder in "audio-only" mode. No video data will be saved.
- noUI – "Y", "1?, "T" values will tell the recorder not to show the bottom control bar interface.
- recQuality – "H", "M", "L" values will set quality to High, Medium and Low, respectively, and will cause the initial quality selector not to be shown.
- enableCallbacks – "Y", "1?, "T" to turn on callbacks
Control the recorder using JavaScript
If you'd like to control the player using JavaScript instead of the Flash recorder's default user interface you can do that. Here are the functions that are currently available.
- doStartRecord() – start the recording
- doStopRecord() – stop recording
- doDelRecord() – delete recorded footage
- doSaveRecord() – save the footage
JavaScript callbacks
If you'd like to listen in to what the Flash recorder is doing you can use the following JavaScript callbacks.
- recordConnected() when recorder swf connects to the recording service
- recordAuthorised() when recorder swf authorises it's record token successfully
- recordStopped() when user stops recording
- recordDeleted() when user decides to delete the footage and re-record.
- recordSave() when user decides to save video (yet before the request is sent to the server for actual processing)
