Death Wobble Braking from 50+
Been getting some wobble while braking from 50+ mph to about 25 or 30 mph for a while now but nothing major. Last night driving home, shifted to neutral going 60 mph and got horrible death wobble like my tie rod was about to fall off. Went hard on the brakes and it went away at about 15-20 mph. Suspension is just about on its last leg and not sure if any of the linkages have had any work done. Anyone have any suggestions?
mine was a mixture of allignment and the steering stabilizer. The reason i say mixture i replaced and alligned the same time so not sure if the steering stabilizer was a big part. It was leaking so i changed it.. I know allignment plays a huge part. List of the following checks....bent rim,allignment, bad or bubble in the tire, steering stabilizer. ball joints tier rod ends.. Hope i helped
They will MASK it SOMETIMES, but NEVER fix it.
You probably have some morn front suspension parts. Check all the control arm bushings, and track bar ends, ball joints, and all steering rod ends. Make sure the track bar is tight and the bracket hole isn't ovaled.
Might look into having your front rotors turned or replaced. They might have build up on them which will cause wobble while braking. My XJ had that problem and new pads and rotors cured it. Good luck
i have herd of mud bulidup causing wheel to wobble too
Is it doing it when you begin to brake?
Oh I just read that it is when braking. You probably need to get new brakes/rotors.. Had the same issue. Brakes fixed it.
Thanks Everyone! Ill start wrenching when i return from snowboarding in CO and let you know
Yeah, if it's when your braking...I used to get horrible shaking like that because of rotor issues. I was never hard on my brakes, I just assumed it was a common problem. It happened within the first 3 years of ownership, but since new rotors, it's been fine ever since.
Now if it's doing that in neutral at 60 mph, that's weird. I had been getting horrible "death wobble" a couple months back - started at between 55-65 mph. It was so bad at times, I thought I would lose it if I didn't slow it down. Thought it was gonna be my stabilizer bar too, but it was my tires! They were worn so inconsistent/ rutted and, therefore, so unbalanced that at a certain speed, it started shaking. They still had decent tread, its just they had worn crooked. New tires did the trick. Still may change the stabilizer bar to be safe.
Mine STARTED only on braking, this morning was the first time it happened by itself while cruising at 35 - 40 MPH.
I didn't touch the brakes but it started doing the worst rattling / wobbleling I've felt yet. Any suggestions?
many thanks JeepForum!
Check your balljoints really well, along with the other usual suspects.
i have a similar issue, but mine doesnt shake unless i touch the brakes. i would hit the brakes going about 55 and it would shake like hell! and guess what? if i let off the pedal it doesnt stop! it just keeps going like its trying to kill me or something.
That's the same issue I had two years ago IIRC or how old this thread is. The same thing still fixed it 100% to the day. A new set of pad's and rotor's will solve it. The only other thing would be a bad bushing or slop in the track bar from letting it go and not fixing it asap.

Gothic Thoughts
February 22nd, 2010, 18:18
Just been playing through Gothic III and thought I would make a few comments.
My general impressions are good overall but I want to rant a bit about some minor annoyances. (Possible Spoilers).
One thing is availability. This refers to what you can get, and that means well you just can't get some things or if you do get them you don't know that their value is more than you may suspect. Like the carrots. Who knew you could use them for stew later on. Well that is a minor one. But along those lines poison, or make poison, and then the almost ungodly cost of decent armor. I put all these under the availability heading. So then you have to find the person who can teach you how to make poison, and of course it's not the guy who can teach you how to make poison arrows. Stuff like that really gets on my nerves. I am playing the alternative balancing but that just limits your characters overall point total, not the availability of things.
The next one relates to the plethora of quests. To me it is really over the top a list of quests, read missions, as long as your arm. Every town seems to have some dozen or so things you need to do for them. Seems they went a bit quest happy as compared to I and II. I don't mind doing a certain number of these, and it's fun to run into someone and just get xp since you already solved their problem for them without even getting the quest.
All in all I like the game but I think they need to smooth over what for me are some of the more tedious aspects of the game. Some things should just be there.
All the cheesy recipies should just be at the start. Why bother putting meatbug ragou on a merchant in Nordmar? I suppose it just uses a standard merchant palatte. And work on that economy you should not have to be 30th level or higher to afford some decent armor and weapons, I'm talking in the 40,000 range.
They seem to limit how much you can make with how much you can get of any particular item, ore for instance. Like I could make 100's of swords and sell them, which was an exploit in Gothic I and II. That's a good thing, but never being able to get the armor you need is just a pain. I suppose someone may award some armor or you find something. I'm in the dark snapper leather which seems a bit light for my level. I'm 80/80/70 AC (resitant to heat). Oh well just some thoughts on the game.

Rebecca Cruz
She's been bringing you the latest music on B93 for 15 years, but has been in radio even longer than that. Rebecca hails from Andrews, Texas, so how did it all start?
"I went with a family member to a job interview at a radio station and while waiting in the waiting room, I was approached by the Program Director. I walked out with a job while my family member did not."
Along with bringing the latest entertainment news and music on the radio waves, you've ventured into the world of television, right?
"I've been in over a dozen TV commercials and I once hosted a Hispanic-music television show."
Co-hosting the Leo and Rebecca in the Morning show, you've been part of several crazy antics, but what is the craziest thing you've done?
"Static line skydiving!"
If that was the craziest thing, what is most embarrassing thing you have ever done?
"Definitely the night I fell at Graham's, in a skirt, and everyone saw my business."
If you weren't in radio, what do you think you would be doing as a career?
"I was going to college to be a teacher when radio fell into my lap, so probably a teacher."
One person recently won millions of dollars in the lottery. If you were given that much money, what would you spend it on?
"If I won lotto, I would take care of family first, then build a fabulous home or homes in different countries. I'd travel and hire a nanny to help take care of the baby I'm about to have!"
What is your favorite movie?
"'When A Man Loves A Woman'. Gets me every time!"
What are some of the phone apps you can't get through the day without checking?
"Right now, it's 'My Pregnancy app' to keep up with where I should be in my pregnancy daily & I am addicted to 4 pics 1 word."
Speaking of starting your day, what is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?
"Hit that snooze button several times! You never really get used to waking up at 4:00AM."
What are your hobbies?
"Anything with my boys. They play all sports and I volunteer with their school and extracurricular activities all the time."
What is your favorite singer?
"Celine Dion or Mariah Carey. Tough to decide between 2 divas!"
What is the best concert you've ever been to?
"Janet Jackson or Mariah Carey."
Of all the places you've been, what is the best place you have ever traveled to?
"Durango, Colorado. In the summer, it's beautiful! Especially if you're 'roughing it.'"
On a more personal level, what is your favorite thing about yourself?
"I think I am loyal & trustworthy. I've had the same group of besties since childhood"
Do you have any pet peeves?
"People who are vain and selfish. You will usually only find tons of (duckface) pics of themselves on their Facebook page. LOL."
Who is/are your heroes?
"My heroes are my parents. My father passed years ago but was the perfect example of a hardworking, loving dad. My mom is my rock. The older I get, the more I appreciate her."

There are so many alternatives for you to use. If you don't like the company model or the product, just use one you do like.
There is a FAQ that explains every thing very clear sublimetext.com/sales_faq. We have all purchased things in the past and with certain expectations only to be let down. I have done it with plenty of software. Complained about certain features with other software and never seen them updated. I usually move to an alternative if I feel there is something better out. No one is forcing you to spend money here, if you want a refund, send Jon an email and see what he says.
I personally like sublime text. I read was I was getting before I purchased; and I wasn't blindsided. I have read how much an upgrade costs and I feel it is reasonable. I have evaluated whether I want to use an alternative at this time, and I have chosen to stick with Sublime Text because it is something I work very well with, and at this time, I like supporting this editor. If I was coming to Sublime Text for the first time, $70 bucks would probably give me some pause, maybe not. I greatly enjoy the plugin system for Sublime Text which gives me fantastic flexibility. To be honest, it is the simple plugin system (which has gotten even better) that has kept me here.
There are others who in some way are trying to emulate Sublime Text like TextAdapt. If you are unhappy with Sublime Text and want a free, open source, multi-platform editor that is trying to emulate Sublime Text, maybe you should try it: Here, foicica.com/textadept/01_Introduction.html.
There is nothing wrong with you expressing your opinion, but you seem very unhappy, why not just move on to something that makes you happy?
The plugin system is also what made me buy ST2 last year. Given that it was in beta at the time, I really had no idea I shouldn't expect to receive any update at all after the final release is out.The lack of updates is becoming a serious problem for commercial software.
The amount of effort needed to get some bug fixes to the extremely large number of customers would really build trust and would make a very large number of clients happy - hey, look, this guy didn't forget about his customers.Furthermore, given that fixing a bug would fix it for all customers at once, the return on that investment would be quite high.
Also, I can understand that he's just one individual, but I've received much better support from some folks who've sold me software for 10-15 USD. It only took one email and my problem was fixed.
TextAdept seems to be a nice editor. I'll look into it. Thank you for recommending it, I really appreciate it.
IMO that is not the issue. The issue I have is the lack of communication with regards to any sort of a roadmap and thus I have no idea what to expect. If there was a proper bug tracker where bugs/features are prioritized (by SublimeHQ, not the users), put into milestones and closed as "will not fix" I'd have a much better idea of how my money is invested and my expectations would be managed.
As others have said in other threads the feature delta between ST2 and ST3 is much smaller than it was between ST1 and ST2. Some users chimed in to say that ST2 was in beta a long time with many, many features added after the initial announcement and that the same thing would probably happen with ST3 too. That is just pure speculation.
I'd like to know what exactly can be expected of ST2 and when, what exactly can be expected of ST3 and when, what will not make it for ST3 but absolutely in a future version, what will never be fixed and what is under consideration.
Don't understand the total silence from Sublime Text staff on this topic...
Well I suppose that ST2 will not receive any update anymore, but, from a commercially viewpoint, it's not good to report that officially.
There is no such thing as the ST staff. There's just one guy.
Also, I don't understand either why they're not offering support. After all, he sold a lot of copies for this editor, so it should make sense to support it.
I don't know what other people do, but I usually want to keep in touch with my clients to make sure they're happy and that they keep working with me. So it would make sense for jps to be more responsive and listen to his customers...
I presume they just don't care.
As for the situation itself, davejones is absolutely right. It's a nonsense that there were no updates for the "stable" branch while it definitely has bugs. When I pay for some software I expect it to be supported. ST2 is not supported at all. The author does not even respond here.
I think what a people just don't understand is that (a) sublime is developed by one person who I think now hired two more people and (b) support is incredible time consuming. 90% of bug reports are based on user errors. The original poster, for example, reported a bug about a parsing error as an example and it was pretty clear that the "bug" was either a user error or a bug in a package. Now, you can argue that support means to solve the problems people have. But ST is not able to do that and I really hope will try. Instead, I hope the developers focus on making ST a better text editor, which they are clearly doing!
The error I've posted was meant to be the start of a list of weird and dumb errors ST2 likes to spit out for no reason sometimes.... It's always another file and another thing.
The guy is doing nothing to offer support to the customers, no offense. There are REAL DEFECTS AND REAL BUGS which he's not fixing and they're all over these forums. I've bought ST2, NOT ST3. I expect to GET SUPPORT FOR ST2, not be told to wait for ST3, nor be told by people on the forum "hey, dude, it's REALLY cheap, just pay a few bucks when ST3 is out to get the new ST and get rid of the bugs". I really expect to receive actual SUPPORT from the actual legal entity (firm, company, whatever) which is providing that software.
The fact that he was just a single person isn't our problem. We've paid money for that software and we really deserve support. We don't have the source code - we can't fix it ourselves. So we're left at the mercy of this guy who seems to have vanished or to be ignoring everyone...and I really don't care what his problem is as long as he all but completely evaporated and then suddenly released ST3 beta.If he's just one single person, it's his problem. I believe he's sold over 100000 copies of ST2. That means we're talking about 5900000 USD. I don't know about you, but with that kind of money I could hire enough people to build a corporation around a product.
Given how much money he's been paid for the licenses he's sold, I really don't think it's a financial problem. People live off of far smaller amounts of money in this world and he has certainly received a lot of it since he released the ST2 beta. If he's really earned at least 5 million USD, you could say he may have had 200k-400k USD of debts to pay, 1-2 millions to pay in taxes and so on. He'd still have more than enough to afford himself to hire a team to: a) run a community, b) maintain an issue tracker and get feedback from customers, c) handle some project management tasks and d) answer emails from customers.
So him being just him and 2 guys in his organization is entirely his problem and it's his concern.
If that's too difficult for people to understand, please let me know so I can just forget about it.
I have bought a lot of software in the past with poor (or almost non-existent) support and I didn't expect Sublime to be better at this point. I'm using Sublime everyday for the last 2 years and didn't have any serious bug.
I'm sorry if you guys are experiencing so much trouble. As other people said, you can try to get a refund.
Also, there are lots of great alternatives.
Keep cool please, do not speculate on something that nobody knows.
As a fairly long ST user, I can testify that there's some kind of support from jps.In the past during ST2 development and now with ST3 development, reported bugs are often fixed in a very short time, unfortunately often without any kind of feedback in the forum: you have to check the changelog or try yourself the new build to see if your bug is fixed.
I have great respect for jps, he's brilliant and very efficient. But communication doesn't look like his strong point.I'll not throw the first stone, it's not mine either.And everybody know that it's a very time consuming task, and that must not slow down development of new features too much.
But I think there's some kind of compromise to find to make everybody happy.Why not spending at most one hour a day to give some help and feedback to users and eventually fix issues in past version (read ST2).
My 2¢.
I use ST2 at work for .. almost 2 years? It's been rock solid for at least a year—a little rough in the early stages of beta, but stable for a very long time for me.
At home I've been using ST3 which has also been solid (much more so than early ST2 betas) and works with all my essential plugins. And every (minor) bug I've reported has been fixed in short order.
That to me is very much worth the $59 I paid in Apr of 2011. I've spent thousands of hours using ST2 and love it. Makes coding a joy.
I sympathize with having issues with the stable branch of software you're purchased, I use other programs with lingering bugs that I run into just about every day (Forklift, I'm looking at you). But it sure doesn't seem to be the norm with ST2. Definitely not my experience.
Instead of pouring so much anger into the forum, it seems to make more sense to try another editor, another community, see if you can find one that fits better. As with browsers, we live in a golden age. So many great choices!
Hello, I do support this editor and the developer, but I have some doubts... this is my opinion don't take it personally.
Does not matter for which languages I use sublime text, IT matter most if the API can work correctly, every function as expected, because this way, we will be able to create and share packages that will "fix" or accommodate, to the infinite different usages(workflows, etc) , that we do when using ST. {2cents}
For example, this API bug is still reproducible in ST3 viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6237&start=0
I can't believe ST3 added the following, which is already done via the package "Tag", Instead of putting efforts into fixing API things.
And is not even implemented correctly, for example, look at the ST3 completion:
$value = '<div>';
echo '<meta src="">';
$end = '</mega>
It should have written there instead of "".
I want you John please, to think if you are doing good, by adding features that are already implemented by packages, instead of fixing core things. I believe you should concentrate into providing a strong and full featured API. Look at Firefox and chrome, chrome almost stay the same since the beginning, Firefox introduced so many changes, and have broken so many add-ons, that I switched of browser.The package system and it's community is not something to subestimate... they add value to your software.
I don't want to disable things on every update. Today I installed ST3 to give a try, and I noticed I can't edit the "Preferences.sublime-settings", I wanted to do a quick hack, I just closed the window and continue to use ST2.
Picking another editor after having invested so much time into ST2 isn't an option right now. Some of those great editors mentioned are OS X only and they also cost money. None of them can't even touch ST2.That's the big problem - ST is too good to switch to something else after having used it for a very long time.
That's why I even bothered to drop by in the hope that the developer might actually bother to say "yes, I didn't update ST2 for a long time, perhaps I should start doing that". However, it looks like there's no chance for that to happen. I'm skeptical.
Also, many people mentioned refunds. Are refunds also given for the hours spent setting everything up, testing packages, testing everything and setting up ST2 to be used in an environment? I don't think anyone can give us back those countless hours.
What's the big issue with providing updates for the stable ST2? And don't tell me it's difficult to do or "hey, go ask for a refund".
AS for the main question, I forget to mention, I don't expect any more updates for ST2, looks like there is a terrible effort into bringing a much better editor which probably requires all the available resources.
However, if you purchased ST2 you can still get updates via ST3 Beta, That's the update you should expect. I never run a ST2 stable version, my current version is nightly 2219.
In this case. Given the facts, I don't expect more updates.
I personally don't completely understand all the angst in this forum. First of all, I've pretty much considered the dev builds to be the bug fix track for this product. If you look at the release notes for the dev builds, it shows that JPS has been at least attempting to answer user feedback. The last dev release was in late September, so somewhere around 7 or 8 months of bug fixes came out before JPS began to hit ST3 hard.
But the thing that really bothers me is all the people who try to guess at how many licenses JPS has sold for st2. In my opinion, all your math and estimation sucks. I personally install ST2 on anywhere from 6 to 10 separate machines, including a couple of virtual machines hosted on other machines that have st2 installed. So, trying to guess based off of package manager downloads is a fallacy. Also, to those who complain that he should hire people to help with the development/maintenance of ST, with what funds should he do so? Someone quoted a number of somewhere around $600k in licence revenue and said that he could hire several people at that rate. I don't know how things are done where you come from, but where I live, programmers expect to get PAID. On top of that there is administrative overhead (legal contracts, NDA's, workers comp, federal tax laws) that come in when you move from being independently employed to being an employer. Additionally, to keep a staff employed, you need a steady revenue stream. If JPS spent the next 2 years after releasing st2 just doing st2 support and not working on st3, then he spends the next 2 years basically making nothing. How's he supposed to pay his staff then?
As for the person that brought up open source and the ability to go in and fix issues themselves... When was the last time you fixed a bug in an open source project that you weren't paid to maintain? I'll tell you, mine was about 9 years ago when I submitted a fix to the broadcom network driver in Linux. Most of the time, I'm simply content to work around whatever issue I'm running up against and wait and see if it gets fixed. I usually submit a bug, but not always. In general, open or closed source, you are usually at the mercy of some other developers time/focus. If JPS feels that the best way to address the issues listed against st2 is to develop and fix those issues in st3, then there's little that you or I could to do change his mind. For that matter, not having seen the code base or organizational structure, I wouldn't feel qualified to tell him that's the wrong move. The radio silence is a little disconcerting, but which would you rather do if you were JPS: do productive work; or put on your asbestos underwear and wade into a volatile thread on the forums where people question your work ethic, your competence, and/or the value of the product you create?
Sorry, I posted my opinion in the wrong thread, I fully support this editor and developers.
I'm not an usual visitor of the forums, and whenever I enter this looks like a mess haha (probably has some hidden logic) I'm totally agree with wbond and iamntz. ntenney has some good points too.
Don't know, I bought even two licenses of this software, 1 for usage and the other sitting in my inbox just to support a really great product.
thread closed for me
You can get someone to intern for you quite easily so you can get some help with some tasks such as: answering emails, issue triage and so on. You don't necessarily have to hire 5 programmers for 100000 USD / year working full time. You can bring in some CS students to work part time.
Also, I fixed a bug in an open source project just yesterday, so you can stop thinking that you're the same as everybody else.
I really couldn't care less about the rest. I've bought ST2 last year and got no updates other than 1 or 2 BETA builds and 2 stable versions. None of those updates fixed any of the issues I've ran into. It doesn't matter for how long it's been updated until that point if the bugs I've ran into are still there one year after I've bought ST2.
I really don't care about anything at all as long as he CAN'T SPEND 2-5 HOURS PER MONTH TO MAINTAIN A STABLE PIECE OF SOFTWARE. I do understand what you've said about him not earning enough money out of this and having to release ST3, but building ST3 doesn't mean he has to force people to give up on ST2 with this scheme! He can do both things - maintain ST2 and build ST3.
Nobody seemed to notice that my anger was actually directed at people who were telling me what to expect in exchange for my money or what to do, that's what bothers me. I've paid a lot of money for a lot of software and most of the time I received support when I had a real issue. You can bet I won't accept being told that it's acceptable to not get any updates because.....the first beta for ST2 was released 2.5 years ago or something like that; I will also not accept being told to use ST3 beta - because it CAN BE USED ONLY UNTIL ST3 IS OUT, IT BREAKS MY PLUGINS AND IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE NOW.
I'm well aware about the part which concerns the money. I've tried to get in touch with jps, but I've received no reply for more than a month. You can bet I won't back down and that I'm still waiting for an answer from him.
A reply from jps saying "sorry, I can't do anything, not even answer your email" would've been greatly appreciated. As for the work ethic, there's nothing left to doubt now. He only answers where it's convenient and he rarely does that.
As for the community, I've seen how things are - most people fail to see that even if everyone pays for ST3, the whole story of ST2 will repeat itself.I can't pay more money while knowing "updates / maintenance" == "new major versions in exchange of $$$ with added features and old unfixed bugs."
Yes please forget it, I believe you don't understand or don't want to understand.
Ahh you edited your post, you have so much time
C'mon guys, things are a bit heated up around here, so try to not make dismissive remarks If there's nothing constructive to say, it's better to move on.

Votto clarifies comments about Cubs
Votto clarifies comments about Cubs
"I was laughing at the time," Votto said Friday. "The shame of it was, Marlon and I probably got along the best on the bench and in the outfield and stuff. I talked to him and I was one of the first to congratulate him in Chicago. So it was definitely taken out of context, and I was laughing when I said it."
Votto said he has the "utmost respect for the Cubs in general," before laughing and adding, "maybe not necessarily for the fans."
The controversy arose when Votto said after the All-Star Game that he would have a tough time congratulating a member of the Cubs, even after Byrd made a big defensive play by throwing out David Ortiz at second base from the outfield.
But Friday, Votto emphasized that he laughed when he said it, and that was again the case for much of the conversation before Friday's game. When asked about a YouTube video which surfaced and shows him turning down autograph requests from Cubs fans, Votto laughed and said he doesn't sign for Cubs fans.
"I think it's kind of fun to play the heel," Votto said. "Not everything has to be friendly, and we take it seriously whenever we go there. It's not just a game to us -- it's our job.
"When I first was called up in 2007, they won [the division title] on our field, and I still remember that now. I remember them looking at the scoreboard and Cubs fans cheering, everybody in the stands wearing blue. I still remember that, and it meant a lot to me. I guess I probably should let it go, but I'm not an easy forgiver."

That was a failure - really underexposed (my fault) and it looked really thin - I'm guessing too low a drop count. Re-did it with an 80/20 Platinum/Palladium mix and a higher total volume of solution. Better, got the exposure about right, but the contrast was still off. So I decided to try a double-coated print, as it's supposed to yield better contrast. It definitely worked. I was able to see far more detail in my shadows than I was before, and the blacks are snappier. Now the decision is, is it worth it?

Primera Technology and Sonic Solutions Developing Disc-On-Demand Kiosks27 Sep, 2007 By: Chris Tribbey
Primera Technology Inc., a developer of DVD and Blu-ray duplication and printing equipment, said it's working with Sonic Solutions to offer hardware for disc-on-demand retail kiosks. The announcement follows the DVD Copy Control Association's decision to allow its Content Scramble System (CSS) software to be licensed, allowing video purchased over the Internet to be burned to DVDs and played in most DVD players.
With Sonic's technology and licensing program, Primera will begin incorporating CSS recording capabilities into its automated disc publishing systems. A disc with the CSS security will be produced within minutes of when a customer orders it via a touch-screen display at a kiosk or retail counter. A selection from thousands of movies and TV shows can be made available on DVD. The SRP for the set-up ranges from $1,495 to $6,995.
"Primera is thrilled to be providing a reliable, yet affordable on-demand, in-store DVD disc publishing system," said Mark Strobel, VP of sales and marketing for Primera. "It is exciting to be partnering with Sonic and contributing to this ground-breaking method of content distribution that will create a unique retail shopping experience for consumers."
Primera is just the latest of many companies joining with Sonic. Sonic's recordable CSS Qflix program and DVD on Demand software are already being used by several companies, according to Sonic, and beginning next month consumers will start seeing the end results at retail. Pioneer, Plextor, DataPlay, Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions Corp., and Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology Corp. will be among those releasing new drives that allow CSS-encrypted DVDs to be burned with downloaded content. The company is also working with home media hardware manufacturers.
"We are extremely pleased that a universal standard has been defined by the industry and the stage is set for the launch of new download-to-burn solutions that will provide consumers on-demand access to a wider selection of high-quality video entertainment," said Dave Habiger, Sonic's president and CEO.
Other Sonic partners include: Microtech Systems, Rimage, Allied Vaughn, and Elesys Inc.
"The DVD CCA's announcement is good news for the industry as a whole and helps create a new distribution opportunity for major Hollywood studios," said Curt Marvis, CEO of CinemaNow. "I would expect a greater willingness on their part to deliver top tier content for burning to DVD.
"As more content for burning become available we expect to see a rapid increase of CSS encryption supported discs and burners in the months and years to come."

My one cat loves this mouse The motor is quite loud and when placed on wooden flooring it sounds like it is about to take off but other than that my cat loves it She whacks it around the room like its a ball

This would have been better without the pull string as it lasts only a couple of seconds and does a quick circle bit poor really but the actual mouse is okay

SAO PAULO, Feb 15 (Reuters) - J&F Investimentos SA, the holding company that controls the world's largest meatpacker JBS SA, may buy Brazil's largest retailer GPA SA and cosmetics company Natura, according to a column in O Globo newspaper.
O Globo's Lauro Jardim, without citing a source, said that J&F CEO Joesley Batista remained hungry for acquisitions three months after J&F bought a controlling stake in Alpargatas SA , the maker of the popular Havaianas flip-flops.
J&F did not immediately respond to request for comment on Monday. (Reporting by Caroline Stauffer; Editing by Daniel Flynn and David Evans)

If owning your own business is my proverbial child, then our crafting studio is our kitchen. Out of it comes most of the things that sustain this "child". It's where all the best memories have been made this past year, and it's where I sit and unwind after everyone is gone and everything is clean (well, almost everything…the bathroom sink is often as scary as the bottom of my purse, but that's another post for another time!).
At the beginning of each month I do my "grocery shopping" and fill in the glue sticks, paints, papers, pom poms, glitter and every other crafty thing you can find. Then, I do what most Moms do – I come up with the month's menus. The kids always ask, "What are we making?" and I almost always have an answer until it gets to the end of that month and items are picked over and you don't have enough of this or that. This time it happened mid-month! I have tried to be frugal, but we have had more…mouths to feed than usual. We had a busy weekend and I was desperate for something affordable and fun to keep these kids (and myself!) engaged.
I headed to our recycle bin, saw that it was overflowing with paper towel and toilet paper rolls (I told you, this is a busy house!). I had my intern, Hannah, spend an entire afternoon cleaning out all of my paints, using up the almost-empty-ones by painting over thirty small rolls. Once I saw all these colorful rolls, I decided to cut up some egg cartons and let Hannah color those, as well. I then chose two painted egg cups and two toilet paper rolls and did what I do best: Pulled out all the crafty odds and ends we had, filled a table, and went to work. Soon, I had created a colorful, little habitat for my little roll creatures. I was pretty happy with this inexpensive, recycled project but was a little worried the twenty-six kids who would be dropping in for art over the next few days would not be as impressed. But as many of you crafty parents, aunts, siblings, grandparents and friends know, set out anything furry and neon, throw in some googly eyes, and it's pretty much a winner.
The kids loved this so much, they asked if they could come back and do it again! To prove it to you, one of our studio's favorite crafters, who is only six, let us photograph her little world so that we could feature it in this blog. So for my first feature on Go Graham Go, I decided an "anything goes" craft would be the perfect end-of-summer crafting menu item for those of you who are ready for the kids to get back to school, as well as those of you who need an excuse to clean out that supply closet!
How did I do it, you ask? Here is the simplest recipe in my book:
1. You'll need two or three small paper rolls. You can get two out of one paper towel roll.
2. Take a recycled egg carton and cut apart some of the cups: two for the "heads" and some extras for scenery.
3. For the background, I cut two pieces of cardboard, making one jagged like grass. A shoe box would work great, too!
4. Get painting! Use up any crusty, almost-all-gone tubes you have. Using up that not-yet-but-close-to-tired paint will feel great (cathartic, even, for us paint hoarders!) and soon you can hit the craft store and get those new glittery Martha Stewart ones you've had your eye on!
5. Use a hot glue gun or tacky glue to help secure the "egg-head" to the body once your paint is dry.
6. Take the tip of your sharpest scissors, or an Exacto knife, to pierce holes for arms, antlers, or hair for your little creatures.
7. Take out an array of pipecleaners, pom poms, buttons, googly eyes and anything else that you and your child will love. Accessorizing your creatures and their environment really brings this craft to another level.
8. Have fun! There is no better therapy, in my book, than cooking and crafting!
Now if only I could get to that bathroom sink…

Reggie Kelly TE FA 6 years ago
Falcons agreed to terms with TE Reggie Kelly, formerly of the Bengals.
It's homecoming for the 34-year-old who started his career as a Falcons second-round pick in 1999. Kelly is purely a blocking specialist. His addition is an ominous sign for Justin Peelle, who went down with a knee injury in the preseason opener.
Reggie Kelly TE FA 6 years ago
Former Bengals TE Reggie Kelly has decided to retire from football.
Kelly visited the Steelers on Tuesday, but decided he'd rather hang 'em up than accept a contract for the veteran's minimum. A second-round pick by the Falcons in 1999, Kelly developed into one of football's most dominant run-blocking tight ends across seven seasons with Cincinnati. The Bengals ought to give Kelly some consideration for their Ring of Honor.

The old Parker Rust Proof property on the west side of Mill Street in Morenci has a new owner. Bill Foster and his brother, Dan, became the owners of the vacant property Monday when the deed was transferred from the Henkel Corporation.
Bill Foster said he started thinking about acquiring the land after he read a story in the Observer about a representative from Henkel talking about the property at a city council meeting.
The property starts at Main Street with a narrow strip of land running along Mill Street where the Parker office building once stood. After that it widens to the west and extends northward past Congress Street.
Foster said the property even includes a narrow strip of land on the west side of Bean Creek along Wakefield Park.
The property adjacent to the Henkel land—the former lumber yard location—is owned by the Morenci Church of the Nazarene. Several years ago church members discussed building a new church and community center on the property.
"We have a few ideas for using the property," Foster said, although he's not yet ready to announce specific plans.
The property was at one time listed by the Michigan Department of Environment Quality as having environmental problems, but Henkel addressed the concerns.
Foster said he checked with the DEQ and the only stipulation for development is a prohibition for obtaining drinking water from a well.
Morenci city administrator/clerk Renée Schroeder said she was not aware of any final resolution on the environmental status of the property.

The purpose of this study is to characterize and compare the concentration-time profiles and multiple dose pharmacokinetics of a 5 minute intravenous (IV) bolus of ertapenem 1 gram daily versus the standard 30 minute infusion in healthy volunteers. Safety and tolerability and pharmacodynamic target attainment using Monte Carlo simulation will also be assessed and compared.
|Drug: ertapenem
|Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
|Official Title:
|Comparative Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Pharmacodynamics of Ertapenem 1 Gram Daily Administered as an IV Bolus Versus Standard 30 Minute Infusion to Healthy Adult Volunteers
Resource links provided by NLM:
Drug Information available for: Ertapenem sodium ErtapenemU.S. FDA Resources
Further study details as provided by Hartford Hospital:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) at Steady-State (After 3rd Dose) [ Time Frame: 5 or 30 minutes post start of infusion on Day 3 ]Cmax is measured at 5 minutes after the beginning of the infusion for the 5 minute IV bolus dosage regimen and at 30 minutes after the beginning of the infusion for the 30 minute infusion dosage regimen.
- Area Under the Curve From 48 to 72 Hours [AUC(48-72)] [ Time Frame: 0-24 hours after 3rd ertapenem dose ]AUC(48-72) is the 24 hour area under the concentration versus time curve after the 3rd dose of ertapenem, which is selected to measure approximate AUC at steady-state.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability [ Time Frame: 3 days ]The following laboratory assessments will be make before and after participation in the study to determine if objective changes occurred: blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, complete blood count with differential, platelet count, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, liver function panel [aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase], total bilirubin, and urinalysis with microscopy. Monitoring of other pathologic or unintended changes in structure (signs),or function (symptoms) of the body associated with participation in the study will occur.
- Probability of Target Attainment (PTA) [ Time Frame: Simulated Steady-State Exposure ]After simulating 5000 patients receiving each dosing regimen, the probability of achieving free drug concentrations above an MIC of 0.25 mcg/mL and 0.5mcg/mL for at least 40% of the dosing interval (40% fT>MIC) is calculated at each MIC dilution.
|Study Start Date:

2008:31 Finalização do Apoio Sueco à Saúde em Angola
Kajsa Pehrsson, Kenneth Challis, Tazi Maghema
Serier Sida EvaluationDescription:
This is an evaluation of Sida's support to the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) programmes in Luanda province 2004-2006. This was the last support that Sweden gave to the health sector in Angola and therefore charactarized as a "phasing-out" support. The aim of the evaluation in turn was to study the phasing-out process and its effects on the sustainability of the MCH programmes. The study is rather unique in the sense that it was organised in three steps where field visits to Luanda were made on three different occasions from April 2006 to April 2007, i.e. directly in connection with the closing of the support in march 2006, after six months (Nov 2006) and one year after closing. This evaluation can be seen a s a complement to Sida Evaluation 07/50.

text: News release: "The waters off the coast of California are heavily trafficked, not only by ships, but also by those other seagoing behemoths, the great whales. Blue, fin, humpback and gray whales all migrate up and down the West Coast. When whales and ships come into contact, however, the results can be fatal. Ship strikes are a significant cause of mortality for these species, all of which, other than the gray whale, are currently listed as endangered. If ships knew when whales were in the area then they could steer clear or temporarily slow down. But whales spend most of their time hidden beneath the waves. By the time a ships captain spots a whale, its often already too late. But a team of scientists from NOAA, Oregon State University, and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science are working on a solution. Its called WhaleWatch, and its the result of decades of work. Bruce Mate of OSU has been tracking whales using satellite tags for more than twenty years. All the while, ocean observing satellites have been recording physical conditions on the ocean. By overlaying the tracking data atop maps showing ocean conditions, the researchers are deciphering the combination of conditions most likely to attract whales. Hopefully, they will soon be able to issue whale advisories based on data as it streams in from the satellites."

Rockwell Collins to Develop Next-Generation AN/ARC-210 Aircraft Radios
The US Navy awarded a 4-year production contract to Rockwell Collins for AN/ARC-210 aircraft radios. The contract has a potential value of $450 million over the 4-year life of the program.
The ARC-210 provides 2-way, multi-mode voice and data communications over a 30-512 MHz frequency range. It also includes embedded Ultra High Frequency (UHF) and Very High Frequency (VHF) anti-jam waveforms and other data link and secure communication features.
As part of the contract, Rockwell Collins will produce the next-generation AN/ARC-210 radio, RT-1939-C, which will enter production in 2010. This fifth generation of the ARC-210 is software reprogrammable and brings new capabilities.
The RT-1939-C's [PDF] additional capabilities include:
- Frequency range extension to cover 30-941 MHz;
- MIL-STD-188-220D and MIL-STD-2045-47001D networking and data transfer;
- Enhanced SINCGARS Improvement Program (SINCGARS ESIP);
- Second-generation Anti-jam Tactical UHF Radio for NATO (SATURN);
- Joint Precision Approach Landing System (JPALS);
- External Ethernet data connectivity via dedicated interface;
- LPC-10 and MELP vocoders; and
- Growth for evolving capabilities, including MUOS (Mobile User Objective System), integrated waveform (IW) for UHF SATCOM, APCO 25, Intelligence Broadcast System (IBS), and Automated Identification Systems (AIS)
With more than 28,000 radios fielded, the ARC-210 is installed on more than 180 air platforms worldwide and is operating in more than 40 countries. Domestically, ARC-210s are installed on a range of aircraft, including the F-18, C-130, and the A-10, as well as helicopters and unmanned aerial systems across all the US military services and the US Coast Guard.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
The seven children [there are actually 11 children but the focus is on seven] are made up of four Jewish kids and three Palestinian kids [ages 9 to 12] all of whom basically live within 20 minutes of each other but all of whom have a completely different view of the world they live in.
The Jewish children include twins who have grown up in a secular household, a young boy who has grown up in an orthodox household and another boy who's traditional [and religiously devout] parents live in the West Bank.
The Palestinian children are made up of a religiously devout boy whose parents own a business in Jerusalem, a girl who lives in the refugee camp and a boy who also lives in a refugee camp.
Filmmakers Justine Shapiro, B.Z. Goldberg [who is himself in the documentary] and Carlos Bolado [who did the editing] at first just let the kids be themselves without confronting them on their beliefs. What is revealed is both fascinating and disheartening The kids are not shy to express their opinions about Jews and Palestinians and they tend to be rather articulate. But it is pretty obvious that they are a bit dogmatic too and have no experience outside of how they have been raised and what they have been told. More significantly they have never talked with each other.
Although there are seven children the documentary ultimately comes to concentrate on four; the twins and the two refugee camp Palestinians. B.Z. decides to try to get them together, let them play and then get them to talk a bit about politics.
Shot on video over a couple of years and covering a lot of ground in and around Jerusalem Promises gives a really fine overview of what led to the current situation and does it in an insightful and unique way by focusing on those who make up the future of Israel.
The documentary came out in 2001 and was shot between 1995 and 2000.
The movie is shot in Digital video with an aspect ration of 1.33:1 and is very clean, sharp and well lit.
Audio is in Arabbic, Hebrew and English with English subtitles which cannot be removed.
The extras are very good. First up is 2004 Update a 19 minute short that shows us the kids who have since become teenagers and their changing views. The extra give the film a whole new twist. Next is Footage from the kids journey to the 2002 Academy Awards which is a 14 minute section that features the twins and the Palestinian girl on their trip to LA. It is quite good and basically continues the debates and conversations. Deleted Scenes gives us 13 minutes of scenes not included in the original documentary. Original theatrical trailer is good if not a bit sappy - more so than the film anyway. Last up are filmmaker biographies and a promo for a show titled Globe Trekker that co-filmmaker Justin Shapiro hosts.
Promises is an excellent documentary about the opinions of Jewish and Palestinian children who live in and around Jerusalem. It succeeds in taking a simple idea in order to explore a complex issue. The DVD looks great and has a good number of complementary extras.

Alaska Cruise Aug 2014
I am looking for a female cabin mate for a cruise coming up next year. I am a 55 yr woman. My brother and his wife are cruising 7 days thru Alaska beginning 12Aug2014 and stay a day or two in Seattle before the cruise. The cruise begins in Seattle and ends in Seattle. I know this is a long time coming but I cant afford the single supplement and need to save for the cruise. I am looking for someone who wants to share a cabin and maybe some meals. I am a social drinker, non-smoker, loves music, likes to check out the different shore excursions. A balcony room would be fab. I have cruised a few times before to the carribean and traveled to Egypt and Africa. Anyone iterested?
I am a retired white lady age 66 and I am interested in the Alaska cruise and a female roommate to share expenses. I would be interested in a balcony as well. I do not smoke, am a social drinker, am healthy, and interested in shore excursions as well.
If you have not found a travel companion could you please forward the itenerary and price sheet..thanks
Did you find someone?? I was looking for some one to do either the 7 day or 11 day from San Francisco but I could get to seattle without too much trouble..I AMA young 57, non smoker, love good wine. I have dreamed of doing alaskan cruise for years but cannot afford to go single
I am looking for cabin mate for either 7 or 11 day cruise fro from San Francisco to alaska some time between May and August 2014.. I am 57, non. Smoker, love good wine, and have dreamed if this forever but cannot afford to go alone.

Are Firm Growth Rates Random? Analysing Patterns and Dependencies
Using Danish firm data covering almost 9000 observations, we find significant proof that firm growth cannot be considered as a simple Gibrat growth process. Key variables, such as size, age, geographical location and industry structure are tested against firm growth rates in turnover and employment. Besides running the regressions on all observations, we also consider and find highly interesting patterns in an industry context. Thus, we conclude that firm growth cannot be considered idiosyncratic. Firm growth is highly dependent on industry and geography.

NEF's from D600
i believe that what's required is a modification of the file's EXIF header info to identify the camera as a model that IS supported by your software. there are a number of EXIF editors, including EXIFTOOL, which is the gold standard.
there are small programs written in many cases that will convert a batch of images in this way. you should be able to find one easily enough.
if you already have ASP, it would probably be easy to find and download a .NEF file from a D600, change the header record to ID the camera as, say, D700 or D800, and see whether the software will open and edit the files. nikon does not endorse this method, but i used it for almost a year when i first bought my D700. when i found that CaptureNX did not support the new camera (it never did, and eventually i bought NX2 -- which i should've done in the first place).
give it a try. nothing to lose and it might help you get by until the D600 is supported.

General Question
What are the visa requirements for New Zealand?
There is an amazing job which is perfect for me, I have tons of experience in the field and will have a masters in just over 2 months in the required subject. The only problem is that the job is in New Zealand and is a permanent position. I have looked on the NZ immigration website and am thoroughly confused by what type of work permit I would need to apply for. Is anyone able to help me with the different types of visa available and what may be best for me? I would love to be able to stay permanently however I have contacted the company hiring to see if they would accept a temporary position if I am unable to stay for longer.
Would I be able to apply for a permanent visa being as I have no ties to NZ previously and also what is the longest temporary visa I would be able to apply for?
(the job is as an egg and yolk sac larvae technician for the aquaculture of fin fish and I have an MRes in sustainable aquaculture and fisheries with my project focus on the rearing of salmonids)

my daughter pretty much only likes songs from yo gabba gabba, the collected works of elizabeth mitchell (from ida, who has several albums of mellow folky kids music that are all pretty tolerable), and the kids album my wife and i recorded for her before she was born

Sure, and I play my baby joni mitchell and astrud gilberto and wayne shorter and all kinds of other stuff, but I'd like songs with simple, age-appropriate words and singable melodies too.

Best tries
James Simpson-Daniel (Gloucester v Bath); Simpson-Daniel (England XV v Barbarians); Cohen (England v New Zealand).
Tackle of the season
Cohen's match-saving effort on Ben Blair for England against the All Blacks.
Player of the year
Doug Howlett (New Zealand).
Spirit of Rugby Awards
L'Aquila, hardly awash with money themselves, for dispatching a luxury coach to the Italy-Croatia border to pick up the Dinamo Bucharesti side when Italian police refused to allow the Romanians' broken down old bus into the country; Ireland for not making a fuss about their horrendous trip to Siberia for a World Cup qualifying match against Russia; Niue Island for tackling the All Blacks at the Commonwealth Games and performing their haka in front of the masters; Eric Rush's New Zealand for accepting the Niue challenge in the correct spirit; former SAS man John Slade for using rugby on the front line in the battle against drugs in Estonia.
Shame on you
The ground authorities at the wastelands of Lansdowne Road and the Millennium Stadium; the Premiership elitists who want to abolish relegation and promotion; ITV for going AWOL and giving us no coverage of the World Cup qualifying groups; those who torpedoed the North v South game; England for playing Martin Johnson in Paris after his punching antics at Saracens.
Welcome back
The University Match as a spectacle worth paying money to watch; the real Jonah Lomu (as seen on the autumn tour); properly contested line-outs.
So farewell then
Peter Clohessy, who finally retired from hostilities in the front row; Graham Henry, who quit Wales to return to New Zealand; Richard Harris, who never did get to see Munster win the Heineken Cup and former All Black flanker Lachie Grant who was tipped for great things on the 1949 tour of South Africa but was arrested for illegal diamond buying in Kimberley and by agreement between the South African Police and New Zealand tour party never played again on tour. Grant died, aged 69, in October.
Look out for
Young Irish lock Paul O'Connell; Simpson-Daniel; James Forrester; Welsh flyer Rhys Williams; England's imaginative World Cup bid which is beginning to find favour; a furious South African backlash pre-World Cup; a much improved Scotland in the Six Nations; Keith Wood giving it a final fling for Ireland before retiring.
World Cup winners?
New Zealand.

Japan's earthquake disaster may boost rainforest logging in Borneo
Malaysian loggers say Japan's recovery from last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami will boost demand for rainforest timber, reports the Borneo Post. AmResearch, an investment research firm based in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia, said logging companies that export plywood to Japan are poised to benefit from reconstruction.
"We have contacted timber players, who are also unsure of the extent of damage stemming from the latest earthquake and the aftershocks," AmResearch is quoted as saying.
"One timber player rules out a '30-40 per cent jump in exports' to Japan – which mostly buys plywood from Malaysia – but expects a probable steady rise in demand from Japan to help in the reconstruction process, depending on the extent of the damage to buildings."
AmResearch told the Borneo Post Japan accounted for 46 percent of Sarawak's total wood panel exports by volume from Jan 2010-Nov 2010.

Angola, 25 November 2010: UNICEF supports wider distribution of mosquito nets in Cunene Province
CUNENE, Angola, 25 November 2010 – It is early morning as Dr. Zepelin Leva and his colleagues load cars with bed nets and head inland in the southern Angolan province of Cunene.
Before the upcoming rainy season causes floods that make access difficult, the municipal health authorities distribute insecticide-treated mosquito nets to hospitals and health centres in the area. "It is a very difficult mission but also fun to go long distances, cross rivers and guarantee that children sleep under a mosquito net, protected against malaria," says Dr. Leva.
Malaria is both preventable and treatable, and effective preventive and curative tools have been developed. There is evidence that mosquito nets, when consistently and correctly used, can reduce overall child mortality by 20 percent.
Reaching remote areas
With UNICEF support, mosquito net distribution is becoming easier in Cunene Province. The national malaria control programme now has vehicles and warehouse facilities to ensure that nets can be effectively delivered and stored in the province. Angola's Civil Protection Committee provides planes to reach remote areas.
Each week, a team of five health workers visits communities in Cunene to distribute nets and educate local residents about malaria prevention.
"More and more people are now receiving and using bed nets," says Dr. Leva. "We have seen a 15 percent increase compared to last year, and this makes us all very happy."
Access to bed nets
At first, many rural dwellers – faced with a shortage of fishing gear – used the nets to catch food, but this has changed as the distribution team raises awareness about malaria. Angola's malaria programme has developed a successful model for engaging with the communities, partnering with traditional authorities and local churches.
To improve bed net distribution, the programme has also launched a UNICEF-supported training initiative run by the non-governmental organization CESOR. The aim is to strengthen monitoring of mosquito net access and coverage across Cunene.
Says Dr. Leva: "With this programme, we are guaranteeing continuous training of our staff so we can be prepared to combat malaria."

Do you hit bank shot after bank shot in your driveway but toss up nothing but bricks when playing hoops with the guys? Run like the wind every morning but have lead legs in an actual 10K race? You're not alone. Plenty of guys practice like pros, but then completely cave when others are watching or when a prize – or personal pride – is on the line.
Here's why: "Many athletes choke under pressure because they attempt to consciously control a motor skill that has become completely automated," explains Jurgen Beckmann, chair of the Institute of Sport Psychology at the Technical University of Munich. In other words, while popping off a jump shot might be second nature to you, when swooshing it really matters, you fixate too much on the motion, which ends up throwing you off your game. "Focusing on the verbal representation of an activity interferes with the smooth flow of that activity," Beckmann says. "This results in a performance that's below the athlete's potential."
According to Beckmann's recent research, if you want to stop cracking under pressure and become more clutch, you should squeeze a small ball or clench your fist before the big game or race. His team found that right-handed athletes who did this with their left hand prior to a high-pressure situation performed better than right-handers who did so in their right hand. Beckmann says this is because the upper extremities are usually controlled by the opposite side of the brain, meaning the right hand is connected to the left hemisphere and the left hand to the right hemisphere. Therefore, when you're overly focused on a task at hand – and you're right-handed – the left side of your brain is most likely activated. To counter this and bring you back into balance, Beckmann says you want to increase activation of the right hemisphere. "Clenching the left hand does the job by stimulating the motor cortex of the right hemisphere," he explains.
Beckmann came to these conclusions by examining right-handed semi-pro soccer players, judo experts, and experienced badminton players first during practice and then in simulated pressure situations, such as taking penalty shots in front of a large, cheering crowd and being videotaped for coaches' evaluations. Before each experiment, the researchers had some athletes squeeze a ball in their left hand or clench their left fist for 30 seconds and asked the others to do so in their right hands. In all three tests, the left-hand squeezers played better in the big event than the right-hand clenchers, and in some cases they even outdid their own practice performance.
"We think this technique should prevent choking in technically complex sport activities," Beckmann says. "But we're currently studying its effects on musicians and the elderly who have problems maintaining their balance. For all these activities, an automation should result in smoother and better performance."
