Problem With Total Recorder

2004-10-06 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello List:  I am new to this list..and have a problem with a program called
Total Recorder.  It seems as I cannot get the program to record what I
want it to record..which is basically things from the internet..or other
things like MP3s..andsoforth.  I use a screenreader called Jaws  The
version I'm using is an older version, 3.7u, to be exact..and am running
Windows ME.  As far as I can tell, I have everything checked as it should
be.  A friend of mine and I have been working on this problem for a few
weeks now; when I first installed the program, it worked good..as long as I
recorded manually.  But if I tried to record something, using the
scheduler, that's where I began experiencing problems; I would get a
blank file..even though..according to what I saw on the screen, it looked
as though it had a signal.  Since then, I (along with a friend of mine) have
tried everything under the sun to get it working..to no avail..if anything,
it only has made things worse!  Since I still think of myself as somewhat of
a noves to the computer, when replying to this post, I would apprecaite it
if you could give your answers in simple terms.  I apologize for this
post..being a bit long.  Look forward to your responses..and thanks for any
help or info you can provide me ahead of time.

Help Request For Total Recorder

2004-10-08 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello list:  I posted a couple of days ago, concerning Total Recorder.:
Just to quickly refresh everyone..what I'm trying to do is record things
from the internet..or anything else that uses the soundcard..except for the
microphone..at least for now.  I guess what I'm wondering is..is it possible
that I have the wrong things checked?  Whenever I try to record
something..such as WSMonline, it will record my microphone; this isn't what
I want!  I've checked..and unchecked various things..to no avail; it did
work at first.  But the problem occured when I tried recording..using the
scheduler in Total Recorder.:  Could someone tell me exactly what is
supposed to be checked..and unchecked?  It's possible that..since my version
of Jaws as some trouble in telling me..I could have Stereo mix
unchecked..when it should be checked!  I'm using 'Windows Me, and Jaws
3.7u.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Mike:  I tried what you suggested; I now have software instead of
soundboard check.  So..at least..now..it's not recording the microphone.
But it's still not recording the audio stream either; it did, however, pick
up the sound of my screenreader; I expected that.  But I still don't know
just what to do to make this thing record streamming audio!  Thanks, though,
to Mike..for your suggestion; maybe I'm..at least..on the right track!

To add to what Mimi is saying here..it's also probably next to impossible to
find a bomb box with a microphone built into it!  We have a Magnavox..which
doesn't do bad.  But even it only has the one mic built in.  So, for
instance, if we use it to record the band that I work in, you'll just get a
mono signal!

I'm sure that the good folks at XM may not care about what I think.
But..okay..I ran the demo version of Jaws 5.0; that made it better..but
still very difficult to navigate!  It seemed to want to refresh..or
something; I couldn't get to all the channel numbers; I feel this way: to
me..screenreadr friendly means having access to the program..no matter
what version you're running.  Some of us just can't go updating their
screenreader every time Freedom Scientiffick decides to come out with a new
version of Jaws.  Just my two cents.  I can, (I think) mayb..navigate XM
with Magic.  But I believe I'd rather be able to do it..using Jaws!  The sad
part is that..I'm sure there are some really good things to be found on XM.
But what good is it if I can't access it?

Need Help In Making Windows Media Play The Stream

Hello list members:  I sure hope I can explain this problem correctly.
Here's what happened: a few days ago, I finally upgrqaded to Internet
Explorer 6.  The next morning, I went to one of the stations that I listen
to that is supported by Windows Media Player; I got a message, telling me
that I could listen to the stream..using Internet Explorer's player.  So I
mistakenly clicked Yes..I now find that I don't want this player to come
up this way; I prefer Windows Media to play it as before; other stations
that use Windows Media as their audio stream will still come up witht the
Windows Media player; it's just this one station (WSM)..which is at Bill
Sparks's website..that comes up in this fashion that I have discribed.  Is
there any way I can change it back to the way it was?  Thanks ahead of time
for any help you can provide; hope I have explained this right!

like another article that has already been posted on here..but maybe a
continuance..if you will.
Tom Kaufman

From: Peeps List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: FTP Internet and Technology News Win Amp's future in a void


Nullsoft's future in a void
Published: November 18, 2004, 10:30 AM PST
By
Jim Hu
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
Another chapter has ended in the long and often tumultuous lifespan of
America Online's
Nullsoft division, the team responsible for creating the popular Winamp
media player.
Over the past year, the team has witnessed the departure of its most
influential
developers, including
Justin Frankel, who created Winamp
 and sold it to AOL in 1999 for an estimated $100 million. Other core
developers
such as Tom Pepper, Francis Gastellu and Christophe Thibault soon followed.
Now,
another key Nullsoft member, Steve Gedikian, has left the company to join
Apple Computer.
The recent departure of a Nullsoft founder raises questions about the future
of the
Winamp media player.
Bottom line:
 Music and video have become business cornerstones for tech companies, and
some now
see AOL's stewardship of Winamp as a missed opportunity.
Gedikian's recent departure has once again raised questions about the future
of Winamp,
a pioneering media player that has drawn a loyal following but has remained
underutilized
by AOL over the past few years.
Music and video have become business cornerstones for technology
companies--refueling
Apple Computer's profits, for example--and some now see AOL's stewardship of
Winamp
as a missed opportunity, particularly as the company struggles with
declining subscriber
numbers.
The idea there's no one actively developing it is definitely a
head-scratcher,
said a former Winamp developer who requested anonymity.
Winamp is considered one of AOL's least cultivated properties. Like
Netscape, which
AOL acquired in 1999, Winamp commanded solid market share during its height,
but
was eventually neglected as bigger competitors such as Microsoft and
RealNetworks
introduced their own software.
Steve Gedikian,
founding member
of Nullsoft
AOL spokeswoman Ann Burkart said in an e-mail statement that the company is
committed
to Winamp, and cited its healthy 5 million unique users per month and the
sale
of 60,000 premium versions of the player.
Gedikian represented the last in a group of developers known for creating
cutting-edge
media software that appealed to younger, hipper users. But the team has
often caused
a fair share of panic among the executive brass at AOL and its Time Warner
parent
company for its vanguard projects.
The idea there's no one actively developing it is definitely a
head-scratcher.
--former Winamp developer
In a lengthy and personal Web log entry last month, Gedikian bid a fond
farewell
to his days as a lead developer for Winamp.
While the entry was largely sentimental and thankful for his supporters,
Gedikian
noted AOL's change in attitude toward the team and the product over the past
couple
of years.
Those of us remaining have become quite weary of the many 'compromises' we
are asked
to make in order to keep moving forward, Gedikian, who has joined Apple,
wrote in his blog
. At this point, I feel like I no longer have the power to make any
positive impact
on Winamp.
Since the acquisition, the Nullsoft team operated with
considerable autonomy from its loft offices in San Francisco's Potrero Hill
neighborhood.
The group became a software engineering lab that developed technology for
AOL's digital
entertainment ambitions, including a
streaming media enhancer called Ultravox
 and streaming audio and video formats called
NSA and NSV
, respectively.
Meanwhile, Nullsoft maintained development on Winamp while working on the
media player
found in AOL's proprietary online service. Winamp developers overhauled the
product
and released Winamp3 in 2002 with a new
programming language
 called Wasabi. The Nullsoft team hoped engineers would develop custom
media applications
using Wasabi, but the effort was dogged by criticism that it was too
bloated.
Last year--in an attempt to regain Winamp's notoriety for being a sleek,
edgy product
without the frills of other media players--the team released an updated
Winamp 5.0
that more closely resembled the original incarnation.
While the team received support from AOL's top brass, including Vice
Chairman Ted
Leonsis, internal tensions began stripping Nullsoft of its personality.
Frankel, who created Winamp as a project when he was 20 years old,
increasingly became
a liability after creating controversial software products that created
panic among
executives. His most famous creation, Gnutella, was quickly pulled in 2000
because
it allowed users to swap digital music files during the height of Napster's
copyright
fight with the record industry. AOL shut down

2004-11-21 Thread Tom Kaufman
It's only a guess.  But my guess is that there may be something wrong on the
station's end..beings as how you're getting the same results on another
computer; if the station has a contact link (and it probably does) I would
suggest that you might want to get in toouch with either the web master..or
maybe a station engineer; it may be that they're having a problem
streamming..and are unaware of it.

I'm not sure if this is in keeping with the subject line here.  But I just
had something happen that's..well..kind of along this same line; a friend of
mine burned a CD for me..one that he had bought.  It won't play on my CD
player that is hooked to my stereo receiver; for that matter..it doesn't
seem to want to play in the CD player in the bomb box!  After checking this
out..I discovered that the CD he used is a CDRW!  Does this account for why
it didn't burn correctly?  The CD will play on my computer..but doesn't seem
to want to play on my other CD players.  I have also heard that..how
slow..or how fast..you burn a CD can have a baring on whether a CD will play
on a conventional CD player.  Insidently..the CD player I have back here is
an old Sony that I got for Christmas in either 90 or 91.  I'm told that this
can make a difference.  Is this correct?

Mimi:  Yep..probably could; you did mean Copy..right; there was a letter
missing..and it came out cpy..but I think that's what you mmeant.
(lol)..yeah..happens to me too once in a while!  Thing is..I actually have
two of the same CD; one good friend burned it; at the same time she gave me
the copy she made for me, this other friend also burned me the copy he gave
me; this is the one that won't play in my CD player.  I had another
experience with a CD that wouldn't play in my CD player a few years ago; my
sister-in-law had been given a Christmas CD; her bother-in-law had burned it
for her, thinking that she had a CD player in her car.  Since she
didn't..but has a tape deck, she gave me the CD to make a cassette of it.
So I slipped the CD into my CD player and..nothing; it just skipped right
over it..like it wasn't there!  Fortunately for me..and my
sister-in-law..the player in my bomb box would play the CD..and since it has
the capability of recording from CD to cassette, I was able to do the job
that she wanted me to do for her!

Locating Inputs On My computer's Soundcard

2004-11-30 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello list:  Hope that maybe someone can help me with this one..and that
it's not off-topic.  What I'm trying to do is to locate where I can plug
things into my computer's soundcard.  For instance, I have a little device
called a Soundfeeder..it works on the same principal as the transmitterrs
that C-crane sells..only they're probably not as good)..I figured I'd drag
that ole thing out..and see if I could get it to work; I'm hoping to be able
to do things like listen to XM online..or anything musical that comes from
my computer..in other parts of the house by transmitting it to anoter radio
or something.  Problem is..I don't seem to be able to find where I'd plug in
such a device!  I have an HP machine; don't know the exact model.  But I was
told that it has what's known as an intergraded soundcard.  Does anybody on
this fine list have an idea of what I'm speaking of?  Thanks for your
time..and for any help you can provide.

MPAA targets core BitTorrent, eDonkey users
Published: December 14, 2004, 12:01 PM PST
By
John Borland
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
The Motion Picture Association of America launched a new legal campaign
Tuesday targeting
the BitTorrent and eDonkey file-swapping networks, two technologies widely
used to
trade movies online.
Ratcheting up its
previous online antipiracy efforts
, the Hollywood group is working with law enforcement agencies in the United
States
and Europe to target and arrest individuals who play a critical role in the
functioning
of each type of network.
Criminal actions have already been filed in Europe, including the seizure of
seven
Net-connected servers, with their operator still wanted by French police, a
representative
of the French government said.
 The legal actions mark a strong new attack on peer-to-peer networks, which
have
continued to thrive over the past several years despite lawsuits against
software
developers and individuals.
These people are parasites, leeching off the creative activity of others,
said
John Malcolm, the MPAA's director of worldwide antipiracy operations. They
serve
as traffic cops connecting those who want to steal movies with those who
have a copy
and want to provide it.
The cross-border legal actions mark a strong new attack on peer-to-peer
networks,
which have continued to thrive over the past several years despite lawsuits
against
software developers and nearly 7,000 individuals accused of trading
copyrighted music
online.
BitTorrent and eDonkey each have grown rapidly over the past two years,
threatening
to become to the movie industry what Napster initially was to the record
labels.
Each technology is designed specifically to speed downloads of very large
files,
and has been used widely to distribute full-length movies, computer games
and software.
BitTorrent in particular has become a recent concern for Hollywood companies
desperate
to stop video piracy before it cuts into their soaring DVD sales revenues.
The threat
of potential criminal penalties substantially raises the stakes for those
helping
to distribute a film using the technology, in what the studios hope will be
a more
effective deterrence than previous actions.
According to Net monitoring firm BayTSP, eDonkey recently passed up Kazaa as
the
most popular file-swapping network in the world, measured by number of
users. Other
network monitors have said that BitTorrent has long been the most popular
measured
by the amount of data transferred between users.
Who's being sued?
Understanding exactly who has been targeted in the latest peer-to-peer
dragnet requires
a little understanding of how each network works, however.
In the early days of Napster, a central server operated by that company kept
a huge
index of all content available on the network and where it was located,
matching
downloaders with people who had a particular piece of content. The recording
industry
was able to successfully sue Napster after judges said that a centrally
operated
index made the company legally responsible for piracy on the network.
Record labels and movie studios then sued a second generation of
file-swapping companies,
which offered decentralized services in which the
traffic-directing role was played by individual users' computers, rather
than a central
server. Judges said those companies are not legally responsible for their
users'
actions, and the entertainment companies have appealed that decision all the
way
to the Supreme Court.
eDonkey has been a hybrid of those two types of systems. In its early days,
individual
users maintained Napster-like central servers that managed traffic on the
network.
Many people still use that older version of the technology; it is the
operators of
those servers that the MPAA is now targeting.
However, the creators of the eDonkey software said most searches are now
done using
the newer, wholly decentralized software.
eDonkey doesn't rely on central servers anymore, so taking them offline
won't effect
the network adversely, said eDonkey creator Jed McCaleb. The servers are
only used
to connect with old and third-party clients.
The BitTorrent difference
BitTorrent works completely differently. In that system, individuals who
want to
share a file prep it for distribution, creating a torrent file that
uniquely identifies
the content and tells computers how to get it. That resulting how-to file
can be
spread around the Net, posted on Web sites, or spread through chat networks
like
the Internet Relay Chat.
Included in this torrent file is information about how to get to a tracker
server,
which actually facilitates all the uploads and downloads associated with a
single
particular piece

Hi Larry:  Thanks for the thought.  But what I'm attempting to do is to
record to the hard drive.  Let's say that I'm trying to record from
WSM..which streams their audio; there's this program that comes on early
Saturday mornings and..because I'm not up that early, I miss it.  So I want
to record it to play back later..or possibly even make CDs from parts of it.
So no..it's not as if I'm trying to record from another source..or anything
like that..at least for now.  But again..thanks for the response.

But what?  As far as we know (and it very well may be that we've overlooked

Fw: FTP Internet and Technology News New CD copy-lock technology nears market

2004-12-17 Thread Tom Kaufman
Might be of interest to some of us out there!  Subject: FTP Internet and
Technology News New CD copy-lock technology nears market


New CD copy-lock technology nears market
Published: December 16, 2004, 4:00 AM PST
By
John Borland
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
A new kind of copy-protected music CD will likely hit U.S. shelves early
next year,
as record label SonyBMG experiments with a technology created by British
developer
First 4 Internet, according to sources familiar with the companies.
Several major music labels have already used a version of the British
company's technology
on prerelease compact discs distributed for review and other early-listening
purposes,
including on recent albums from Eminem and U2.
The releases for the retail market, expected early in 2005, will be the
first time
the Sony music label issues copy-protected CDs in the U.S. market, although
the company's
other divisions have done so in other regions. BMG, Sony's new corporate
sibling,
has been more aggressive, with a handful of protected CDs released last
year.
We have always focused on a high level of protection, but we've waited
until there
aren't any playability issues.
--Mathew Gilliat-Smith,
CEO, First 4 Internet
A SonyBMG representative declined to comment on the plans. First 4 Internet
Chief
Executive Officer Mathew Gilliat-Smith confirmed that
his company
 plans to release a consumer version of its technology with one major label
in the
United States, but he declined to identify the label.
Gilliat-Smith said his company has been waiting to improve its technology.
Better-known
companies Macrovision and Sunncomm have seen sporadic--and sometimes
controversial--use
of their products on CDs released around the world.
We're not keen to rush, Gilliat-Smith said. We have always focused on a
high level
of protection, but we've waited until there aren't any playability issues.
The new SonyBMG experiments are a further sign that copy protection on music
CDs
may be moving closer to the mainstream U.S. market. The practice is much
more common
in European and Asian markets.
For several years, the major record labels have sought a way to protect CDs
against
unrestricted copying and ripping, or transforming songs into files such as
MP3s
that can be swapped widely online. Early experiments proved unpopular,
prompting
reports that the discs could not play in certain kind of stereos, or might
even
damage computers
.
The past year has seen resurgent signs of interest from the major labels,
however.
A watershed moment in the United States came when the BMG-released Velvet
Revolver
album
reached the top of the industry's sales charts
, despite being clearly marked as copy-protected. Industry insiders said
that helped
assuage some boardroom concerns about potential consumer backlash.
Questions remain about the appropriate technology to use, however. The copy
protection
from Sunncomm, used by BMG in the United States, could be fairly easily
disabled
simply by
pressing a computer's Shift key
 while the CD was loading, for example. That issue has been fixed in the
company's
most recent
version of its products.
It also may be a tricky job to make rules associated with copy-protected
discs match
those associated with songs purchased from online stores such as Napster or
Apple
Computer's iTunes. Those stores allow their customers to burn CDs that can
then be
copied without restriction; by contrast some labels want to limit the number
of times
a copied CD can be duplicated again--a technology called 
secure burning
.
First 4 Internet's entry into the market marks a potentially new twist on
the basic
technology, however. The company got its start by offering a tool to
identify pornographic
images in Web sites and e-mails, and selling the technology to Web-filtering
companies
for their own products.
The company has been working on the disc-protection technology since 2001,
following
conversations with the EMI record label, Gilliat-Smith said. The technology
wraps
ordinary song files in strong encryption, but in a way that still allows
regular
CD players to read them. Another part of the disc contains data files that
help improve
protection.
The company has worked particularly closely on prereleases in the U.S.
market with
Universal Music. First 4 Internet's U.S. representative said the
copy-protection
technology has been included on a number of extremely high-profile CDs while
in the
review and demo stage, without being broken.
Could it be broken? I'm sure that somebody must be able to do it, said
Graham Oakes,
the head of Los Angeles-based Ezee Studios, which represents First 4
Internet. But
is there a generally known hack that has been put on the Net, or have any of
the
record label IT people found a hack yet? No.

Record Industry Sues 754 for Internet Song Swaps
Thu Dec 16, 2004 04:04 PM ET
By Andy Sullivan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A recording industry trade group said Thursday that
it has
filed another wave of lawsuits against 754 people it suspects of
distributing songs
over the Internet without permission.
The Recording Industry Association of America has now sued more than 7,000
people
for distributing its songs over peer to peer networks like eDonkey and
Kazaa, in
an effort to discourage the online song copying that it believes has cut
into CD
sales.
The RIAA typically settles copyright infringement suits for around $5,000
each.
Despite more than a year of headline-grabbing lawsuits, peer-to-peer use has
not
declined. An average of 7.5 million users were logged on to peer-to-peer
networks
in November 2004, up from 4.4 million in November 2003, according to the
research
firm BigChampagne.
The four major labels -- Vivendi Universal, Sony BMG Music Entertainment,
EMI Group
Plc and privately held Warner Music -- have recently begun to license their
songs
to a new generation of online services as a way to slash distribution costs
and reach
out to fans.
But recording-industry officials remain at loggerheads with software makers
like
Grokster and Morpheus that allow users to freely copy their songs.
With legal online retailers still forced to compete against illegal free
networks,
the playing field remains decidedly unbalanced, said RIAA president Cary
Sherman
in a statement.
Courts so far have declined to declare peer-to-peer software makers like
Grokster
and Morpheus illegal because, like a photocopier, they do not permit
copyright infringement
but merely make it possible.
The Supreme Court will hear the entertainment's case against Grokster and
Morpheus
in March.
The latest round of lawsuits included students at Columbia University, the
University
of Pennsylvania, Old Dominion University and Virginia Commonwealth
University.
Under pressure form the RIAA, many schools have taken steps to limit file
sharing
and at least 20 schools give students free access to industry-sanctioned
download
services like Roxio Inc.'s Napster.
The RIAA does not yet know the names of those it has sued, only the
numerical addresses
used by their computers. The trade group typically finds out suspects'
identities
from their Internet service providers during the legal proceedings.

It would seem that..from what I'm able to understand..people running Jaws
5.0 are having better luck with the XM player than those using 5.1.  In case
you haven't already seen my posts concerning this matter..I have an ancient
version of Jaws; Jaws 3.7u..and it absolutely will not work with the player!
Therefore..I use Magic..but they just really need to make this thing more

Shannon:  The product that you're most likely looking for is an FM
transmitter; I'm not sure of the exact name.  But they can be gotten from
the C-Crane company.  You'd think that..as many times as I've heard their
phone number..that I'd know it by heart!  But alas..I can't think of it
right at the moment!  I'm sure that there are many on the list that do know
it..and will point you in the right direction!  I, myself, found one of
those..as you called it, do-dads under my tree; I'm just hoping I can
locate that place in the back of my computer where it's supposed to go!

Hello Shannon and list:  I don't know that I have the correct answers to
your questions!  But I'll give it a try; first..don't feel bad about..if you
don't know where you plug things in; I'm still not sure of where the
=speakers are plugged in..and I need to figure that out so I can try out my
FM transmitter!  As for whether plugging the device to your headphone jack
on the speaker..causing you to lose sound in the speakers..I can't say; my
speakers don't have a headphone jack.  Hope it all works out for you; let us
know how you make out with that thing!
Tom Kaufman P.S. I would think that..if you only have a single channel
soundcard that..in order to do what you'd want to do, you'd need a
double-channel sound card.  But I'm sure someone here can say for sure if
that is correct.  Good luck!

this screw will help the transmitter to have more distance, thus, the

Hooking Up An FM Transmitter

2005-01-01 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello and Happy New Year to all you good folks:  I received one of those FM
transmitters from /C-Crane for Christmas.  Now..I need to know..where it is
that I can plug it in!  I don't have any output jacks on mycomputer; I
have a plug where the speaker is; below that is an input jack..and below
that is where the microphone plugs in.  Okay..stupid question time: am I
correct in assuming that plugging the transmitter into the input jack of
the computer won't work?  If it would, it'd solve a problem as..like I
mentioned earlier..the computer doesn't have a line out; it just has a
line in!  So does that mean that I must use the speaker jack?  Thanks for
your help; you may remember..I'm the guy that..a little while back..was
looking to find where my jacks were located; I've located themm..but am
unsure of where would be the appropriate place to put the FM transmitter!
Hopefully in the not-too-distant future, I'll have another computer; one
with a bonified soundcard in it!  Thanks again.

Shannon:  Got bad new for you..well..maybe not too bad; we've just been
exploring this thing; when you get your toy  if it's like mine, you'll
find that the splitter that comes with it only has one female plug; you'll
need two!  I really thought I was in business when I found the splitter.
Then I discovered..much to my dismay..if I unplug my speaker, I still only
have one place to plug in to!  Hope this makes sense..or maybe I'm confused!

Thanks to all who have provided information concerning the CCrane FM
transmitter!  Now all I need to do is to get someone here who can take care
of this as I ddon't quite have nerve enough to tackle it myself!  Even as it
is, the range isn't too bad!  However..I do find, for example, that if I
tune my clock radio (which is one of those Sony Dream Machines) it won't
pick up the signal from the transmitter good enough for it to be in stereo.
I feel fairly certain that, based on the information that I've heard, that
turning that screw will solve that problem!

MSN And Streaming Audio

2005-02-13 Thread Tom Kaufman
Hello folks:  Late last night, I downloded MSN 6.2; didn't seem to be much
choice in the matter..they were hellbent on making me do it!  But now..I
notice that..ever since I've downloaded MSN, I've tried to listen to two
audio streams..and they won't work!  If I hit myy enter key, I hear a
weird sound through my speakears..and the player does nothing!  So my
question is: does MSN now have some sort of pop-up blockerthat interferes
with certain types of audio streeming?  If so, how can I work around it?  If
need be, I'll just uninstall MSN; haven't really used it that much
lately..although I hate to do that as I do have some friends who are on MSN.
But I want to be able to hear my audio streamming when I want to; this
doesn't appear to be happening with all audio streamming..just a couple;
one of the ones in question is at www.wtnt.com (hope I have that url
correct)..and the other is www.wphb.com  If anyone can help, it would be
much appreciated!
