'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' Countdown: Top Ten Iconic 'Twilight Saga' Moments
Laura Byrne-Cristiano is a co-owner of The Twilight Lexicon, the longest continuously operating Twilight Saga fansite on the web. You can read her Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn column here on Movies.com every other Thursday.
It's that time of year when everyone seems to be making a top ten list, so why don't we jump into the mix too. The Twilight Saga has so many possibilities when it comes to top moments. I started out writing an overall Top Ten Twilight Saga Iconic Moments list taking into account all the Twilight Saga movies, but quickly realized I was going to have to totally rethink that idea because The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 has so many iconic moments just by itself. This was definitely destined to be a two-part idea. So for this week, let's take a look at the Top Ten Twilight Saga Iconic Film Moments leading up to Breaking Dawn Part 1. Then, in my next column, we'll examine the Breaking Dawn Part 1-specific ones.
1. The original Twilight movie has possibly the most iconic image of the series. It's the moment where both Bella and Edward are entranced with each other right after Edward saves Bella from Tyler's out-of-control van. For many fans who didn't know anything about Twilight until they saw the films, that was the moment that hooked them. They became captivated by Robert Pattinson and/or the Bella and Edward love story right there during those intense few seconds.
2. One of the most parodied parts of the entire series is the infamous moment in the meadow of "Say it out loud. Vampire." If you ask people who aren't fans of the series for a Twilight Saga moment that stands out in their minds, this one is easily it. Even though we don't get the romantic meadow scene as presented in the book, the scene is memorable to fans nonetheless. It's the big reveal to Bella that confirms what Edwards is, and consequently it's what drives the action forward from that point on.
3. The final iconic moment in Twilight is the prom with Edward and Bella's dance at the gazebo. It's the first truly prolonged, tender moment they have in the films. Iron and Wine's song Flightless Bird: American Mouth underscored the sequence and became an instant fan favorite. It was now unofficially Bella and Edward's song, the one that defined who they were to each other. So far, it is the only song to make a comeback on any of the soundtracks. It currently serves as the song at their wedding in Breaking Dawn Part 1.
4. Moving on to New Moon, the image that hauntingly epitomizes much of the movie is Bella huddled alone in the forest abandoned by Edward. It sets the tone of depression and isolation that lasts almost the entire film. Even in some of her lighter moments with Jake, Bella still suffers from a broken heart. The image of her in a fetal position as leaves blow over her on the damp forest ground represents what she still feels inside.
5. Every fan is aware of the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob debate. The moment when Team Jacob first took over the screen is the next iconic moment -- and t happens when Bella crashes the motorcycle and Jacob runs over to her. Not only do we get the famous "You're sort of beautiful" line from the novel, but we also get a look at the 8-pack that launched Taylor Launter's heartthrob status. Everyone knew Lautner bulked up for New Moon, but now it was obvious to what degree that was true. Adult fans everywhere started counting down to Lautner's eighteenth birthday because, as one put it, "It makes the drooling seem less inappropriate."
6. Bella's desperate run through the streets of Volterra culminating in her kiss with Edward under the clocktower is a huge moment. Even though they know what is going to happen, fans urge Bella on as she races uphill in a sea of red cloaks and attempts to beat the clock. Critics constantly talk about Bella's need to be saved. Well, there's no damsel in distress here, as Bella willingly risks her life to save Edward from self-destruction. Bella and Edward are reunited, and it's almost entirely her own doing.
7. If you need a larger-than-life, kick-ass villain, it pays off to have an Academy Award nominated actor play that villain. As impressive as Bella meeting Jane, Demetri and Felix in the hallway in Volterra is, it was nothing really compared to her meeting Aro. Michael Sheen proverbially chews up the scenery every time he is on screen, and his first appearance as Aro is no exception to that. He manages to add depth and sadistic humor to Aro making him compelling to watch.
8. As we move on to Eclipse, the first thing that springs to mind are two words: leg hitch. After missing Edward for almost all of New Moon, fans wanted a return to romance. Particularly, with director David Slade at the helm, fans were concerned that romance was going to take a backseat to the action. At that time Slade was known for more darker and action-heavy films.Clearly they needn't have worried when the most iconic moment from the novel was delivered exactly the way it should've been on screen (see image to the right).
9. Tension in relationships is certainly an ongoing theme in the Twilight Saga movies. In no place is that tension thicker than in the tent scene in Eclipse where Edward, Bella, and Jacob are trapped in tight quarters. It's just about the only real discussion regarding Bella that Edward and Jake ever have, a departure from the usual name calling. Team Edward vs. Team Jacob quite literally goes head-to-head and culminates with Bella kissing Jacob.
10. The final iconic moment would be the proposal in the meadow in Eclipse. Fans were relieved that the budget was now bigger and the meadow looked a whole lot better than it did in Twilight. No more newborns, no more Victoria, and the immediate threats were all gone, making it so Bella and Edward could focus on each other. Bella finally saying "yes" in the field surrounded by wildflowers ended what had largely been an action movie on a sweet romantic note.
So what do you think of these iconic moments? Is a crucial one left out? What moments from Breaking Dawn Part 1 do you think we should include on next columns list?
Just 337 days until The Twilight Saga concludes on screen.

Here's an article in PC Magazine that deserves wide reading. For example,
10 a.m. It's time to unleash my new Facebook app, a cute game about putting kittens in the microwave that's really designed to harvest your personal information. By running my app you agree to share your entire profile with me, and if you've posted anything even remotely useful to me (like a credit card number), then I figure you deserve to have me steal it. Here's an similar bit of trickery I wish I'd thought of: In March 2008, the Aurigma ActiveX image uploader was used to cause buffer overflow attacks that planted malware on users' PCs.
Read the rest of the day. Then protect yourself.
My computer savvy friends no doubt already know all this stuff. I know I've become very leary of Facebook aps.

The Beginners Guide to Keyboards
As recently revealed by a survey from the Associated Board of the Roayl Schools of Music, Keyboard and piano are the most played instrument by school children. That's greatr, but some customers may be slightly confused by the wide range of related keyboard products on offer in the market today: Digital Pianos, Home Pianos, Stage Pianos, Portable Home Keyboards, Arranger Keyboards, Keyboard Workstations, MIDI keyboards, synthesizers... What's it all about? We're here to help!
Updated For 2014/2015!
Have you been looking through our range of keyboards and digital pianos and wondering what is the difference between each of them? Should I buy digital or acoustic? What's the difference between a keyboard and digital piano? Why would I want light up keys? Why do some keyboards have 61 keys and digital pianos have 88? What keyboard is best for me as a beginner?
We realise that buying a keyboard for the first time with the choice available is quite a frustrating experience. Our keyboard buying guide will talk you through the basics and give you tips on what's best to buy to suit your needs. Plus, we give you a range of different pianos from £100 to £600, to suit everyone's budget.
The majority of our starter packs come included with a stand. All keyboards are made to be portable and for use with batteries, although please note that these aren't included unless stated! To make your keyboard purchase the perfect Christmas gift, why not take a look at our accessories and sheet music so yourself or the recipient can play along to more than the built in songs?
If you're a beginner, it's likely a keyboard will suit you more than a digital piano for several reasons:
- A keyboard has 61 keys rather than digital pianos which have 88. 61 keys are much easier for a beginner to use...
- Keyboard keys are also much lighter than a digital pianos. Touch Sensitive keys are what you should probably go for as a beginner, as the sounds respond to how hard you press the keys - making your playing much more expressive.
The advantages of digital
We wouldn't want to leave the grand acoustic piano out of the loop, and you're probably wondering why this hasn't been brought into the conversation yet? There are a multitude of non-technical and technical advantages to purchasing a digital keyboard/piano over an acoustic. Here are a few of the most important...
- smaller size
- a choice of sounds
- no maintenance
- never needs tuning
- volume control
- portability
- private practice (headphones)
- on-board recording
So before we give you a number of keyboards and digital pianos you may like, you may want to know a few of the basics. What's so good about weighted keys? Why is touch sensitivity so important?
Weighted keys
Weighted keys mimic the feel of an acoustic piano. Why is this important? Well as a student, you will develop the manual dexterity and muscle strength required in your hands to play more demanding compositions. Besides that, when you move on to an acoustic piano it will eliminate any difference in feel to you!
Touch sensitivity
A string on an acoustic piano will resonate louder the harder it is struck by the hammer. For a digital piano to sound realistic, this effect must be reproduced. Additionally, the sound from a single note will be unique when the string is hit at different velocities. When the digital piano is played, the appropriate sample is triggered according to the force of the key press.
With all of the above in mind... let's start choosing!!!
Digital pianos and electronic keyboards have surpassed acoustic pianos in popularity, because they are lighter and more affordable. Today, there's a keyboard for just about any sort of budget and need. Here's our quick guide to help you to find what what's the best option for you!
IF YOU WANT SOMETHING PORTABLE AND CHEAP: Choose Home Keyboards
The personal / portable keyboards, such as the Yamaha PSR-E343 Portable Keyboard, pictured above, are ideal as a first musical instrument and as a student keyboard. They are perfect for the entry level beginner.
They are cheaper, smaller, with less keys than a real piano, and not expected to be "perfect" reproductions of the "real deal", neither in terms of sound nor feel. Back in the 80's, similar products were, frankly, rubbish (though today they may seem to have some "retro" charm!) Now, however, they do a much better job at at least approaching a more realistic feel: thanks to touch response, the keys respond to the intensity of the playing, which is very useful for beginners learning to play piano.
The sound is much better too, and for untrained ears these keyboards will sound enough like a piano. Portable keyboards also do a greater range of different sounds (not always realistic) such as church organ, saxophone, orchestral instruments, drums and even hand-claps. They're a great learning tool for children, and fun for all the family! Not meant for professionals, recording sessions or live performance, though they could be used this way.
The Yamaha PSR-E243 Portable Keyboard is the cheapest model we stock, at only £127, and Yamaha PSR-E343 Portable Keyboard is a slightly more expensive model, with more features.
IF YOU WANT THE CLASSIC LOOK & FEEL OF A REAL PIANO: Choose Digital Home Pianos
Digital home pianos are the perfect alternative to the old upright pianos. They can fit on most average-sized homes, and are not as heavy to transport. Unlike the small, portable keyboards, these home pianos are full-sized, with 88-keys like a normal piano. Most of them also have pedals like traditional pianos, and have a look, feel and sound much closer to a proper piano.
They sound realistic, look stylish and, besides serving as an alternative to traditional pianos, they actually offer some advantages such as cheaper price, no need for maintenance, never go out of tune, have in-built metronomes and can be played in silence thanks to headphone output.
PMT stocks some great digital home pianos, such as: the Yamaha NP11 Piaggero Portable Digital Piano is the cheapest at £167, but other great choices include Roland F-20 (only £479), the Korg SP-170DX Digital Piano in Black, the Korg LP Series Pianos and the sophisticated Yamaha Clavinova Home Pianos.
Here's a video that shows the different - and very realistic - sounds you can get from a digital home piano:
IF YOU'RE GOING TO PERFORM LIVE: Choose Digital Stage Pianos
Digital Stage Pianos share the same DNA of home pianos (super realistic sound and feel, full-sized with 88 keys on most cases) but, as the name suggests, they are meant to be used live. Which means: most of them don't come with stand, so they can be more easily transported; they don't have educational extra features; they don't usually have the traditional "wood finish" look; and some of them don't have a wide range of sounds - they're meant to do fewer sounds, better!
The red Nord Stage Pianos (pic left) are very popular and can regularly be spotted on stages all over the world, being used by top players in many famous bands. Today, more artists use a Nord keyboard onstage, when they want realistic piano, electric piano or vintage Hammond organ sounds, than they use the actual, original instruments.
Nothing stops a "stage piano" being used as a "home piano" either, and a few models actually fit both roles really well, such as the Yamaha NP11 (only £167!) and the Yamaha P35, which costs just £357: The P-35 is definitely the Best Buy option when it comes to Digital Pianos, as it also has a Graded Hammer Standard Keyboard (GHS), 88 keys that have a truly realistic feel across the board, the lower notes featuring a heavier action than higher notes.
This kind of realistic feel and playability is hard to find at this price point. Other great options include: Yamaha P-105, Roland FP80, Yamaha CP40, Roland RD-300NX, Korg SV1 73 and the Yamaha CP4.
Compare any of those with a Korg LP-380 Digital HOME Piano, and you'll quickly notice the difference between home and stage pianos.
Another thing to consider, is that many stage pianos do not have in-built speakers, since they would have to be plugged to PA or keyboard amp at a gig, anyway. Please check before buying a stage piano, as you may need to also get an amplifier.
Synthesizers are a different beast altogether. They vary wildly between themselves, and some don't even feature typical black & white keyboard keys. Check the pic above, showing three popular models: Roland Jupiter 50, Korg MS20 Mini, and Korg Volca Keys.
They may or may not have realistic piano sounds - often they don't, as this is not their main thing! Digital Pianos - stage or home - were created primarily as credible substitutes for traditional pianos and vintage organs. But no one really ever buys a synthesizer for piano sounds.
Since Moog introduced synths 50 years ago (read our 50 years of Moog article) they've become a popular musical instrument, used by many of the biggest artists worldwide. Synthesizers are capable of creating unique sounds, and they are still one of the most powerful tools available for any creative musician today. Synthesizers are supposed to sound like... synthesizers!
Bands as diverse as The Beatles, Black Sabbath and Queens Of The Stone Age have used synths, and whole new genres of music developed around synthesizer sounds, with several electronic artists as varied as Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, The Orb and Ladytron relying heavily on synthesizers as their main (and sometimes only!) sound.
The affordable Korg microKorg is perhaps the most popular synth at the moment, costing just £279. And the Korg Monotron (see pic, left) is the smallest and cheapest synth around, at just £39. It looks like a toy, but is a real analog synth and serves as a great taster of what a synthesizer can sound like.
Keyboard Workstations and Arranger Keyboards were created as versatile music creation tools, too. Like synths, they also got many, amazing sound-shaping tools and high-end features that are, however, not of interest for those just seeking a good piano for the home.
At a first glance, Workstations and Arranger Keyboards look just like a personal, portable keyboard... the truth is they are anything but! They are high-end music making tools, for performing professionals who need to do things as diverse as film-scoring, arrange songs etc.
This Korg video explains really well what they do, and how they differ:
IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MONEY & OWN A COMPUTER: Choose MIDI Keyboard Controllers
The look of Keyboard MIDI Controllers (pic above) might deceive! They are not musical instruments per se - they don't produce any sound. What they do, is to provide an actual, physical control of computer software: instead of buying an actual synth or keyboard, for instance, you may have a software on your laptop that emulates the synthesizer or piano sound, and you then connect your keyboard controller to your laptop, in order to play this digital version as if it was an actual instrument.
The M-Audio Axiom Air series has some great controllers in a few different sizes.
You might also need accessories...
If you're choosing a keyboard or digital piano that doesn't come with a stand, don't worry! We have a range of stands for you to choose from...
Black Rat X Style Keyboard Stand
- Standard X-Keyboard frame
- Ideal for beginners
- Lightweight

5 Presidential Debate Moderators Better Than Jim Lehrer
After last night's kerfuffle during the debates, Jim Lehrer may be regretting his decision to come out of semi-retirement to moderate his 12th presidential debate.
The veteran PBS anchor drew the ire of social media hounds, as Twitizens quickly deemed Lehrer's performance as being "too lenient" on the candidates, which went trending as #PoorJim. As critics and political pundits alike say that Jim Lehrer failed to keep control of the campaign's first direct exchange between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, the night found both candidates talking over him as Lehrer attempted to keep them to time limitations.
With 12 days to go before these two presidential candidates meet again at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, we here at VIBE wanted to offer suggestions on who we'd like to see in the moderator's chair if we had a choice — because regardless of who won last night's debate — Jim Lehrer lost.

WASHINGTON | Americans cut back on spending last month while their income remained flat. The weakness in part reflected disruptions from Superstorm Sandy that could slow economic growth for the rest of the year.
WASHINGTON | Americans cut back on spending last month while their income remained flat. The weakness in part reflected disruptions from Superstorm Sandy that could slow economic growth for the rest of the year.
The Commerce Department said Friday that consumer spending dropped 0.2 percent in October. It was the weakest figure since May, and it compared with a 0.8 percent spending increase in September.
Income had risen 0.4 percent in September.
Work interruptions caused by the storm reduced wages and salaries in October by about $18 billion at an annual rate, the government said. The storm affected 24 states, with the most severe damage in New York and New Jersey.
Consumers may also be scaling back on spending because of fears about the "fiscal cliff." That's the name for automatic tax increases and spending cuts that will take effect in January if Congress and the Obama administration fail to strike a budget deal by then.
"The upshot is that although both incomes and spending will probably bounce back in November, the underlying trend is weak," said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
The depressed spending figures suggest that the economy is growing more slowly in the October-December quarter than it did in the July-September quarter. Consumer spending drives nearly 70 percent of economic activity.
Dales predicts U.S. economic growth will tumble from the 2.7 percent annual rate in the July-September quarter to a weak 1 percent in the October-December period. That's too low to lower the unemployment rate, now at 7.9 percent.
Even discounting the effects of Sandy, income and spending gains would have been meager. Income would have risen a still-weak 0.1 percent. Spending would have been essentially flat, Dales estimated.
After-tax income adjusted for inflation fell 0.1 percent in October. And spending, when adjusted for inflation, dropped 0.3 percent — the biggest such decline in three years.
The saving rate edged up slightly to 3.4 percent of after-tax income in October, compared with 3.3 percent in September.
Many economists say growth will rebound in the New Year once the rebuilding phase begins in the Northeast.

PowerColor Radeon HD 5970 LCS Review
When it comes to gaming prowess, FPS is life, or so they say! At least that's what my kid believes and since I get seriously pawned by him, despite the fact that my rig is the far more superior rig, I'm really not so sure. Maybe skill has something to do with it. Anyway, the fact of the matter is that the faster you can respond, the better chance you have of surviving the fight. That's where the high-end video card comes into the picture. The HD 5970 is currently the fastest single graphics card on the planet with a commanding lead over any of the current multi GPU cards from both ATI and nVidia. Released back in November of 2009, ATI has been basking in the glow of a well executed strategy. Currently ATI and its partners have a product stack that covers just about every price point from $50 to $800 so you can have a DX 11 video card to fit your needs, with another on the way I hear.
PowerColor has gone a step above its PCS+ lineup with the introduction of the LCS HD 5970. What makes this card so special is the fact that it is equipped with a full cover water block to keep not only the 40nm GPU cores cool but also to keep the 2GB of GDDR5 memory and the voltage regulation circuits cool. Keeping these circuits cool has been challenging with numerous tests showing the stock cooling solution cannot keep the voltage circuit cool enough to prevent throttling of the clock speeds under load. This lack of cooling also ultimately limits the overclocking capabilities of a card that was designed from the ground up to be an overclocking beast. The water block PowerColor has chosen to use for this card is none other than the EK FC5970 with nickel plated copper for good looks and corrosion resistance as well as an Acetal cover with the PowerColor and LCS logos etched into it. As a byproduct of the improved cooling, PowerColor has bumped the clock speeds up to 750MHz on the dual Cypress cores and 1050MHz on the 2GB of GDDR5 memory. Let's see if the PowerColor LCS HD 5970 can indeed justify its price tag and deliver some righteous clock speeds when pushed. Do I hear 1000MHz? Betting is closed!
Closer Look:
Gone are the pictures of a warrior, a monster or any number of characters on the front panel of this package. What you see is what you get and in reality the look of the card is just downright good looking! In addition to the shot of the video card you get the PowerColor logo with the LCS (Liquid Cooling System) Moniker up front! This card comes with 2GB of GDDR5 memory and the bundle includes a copy of Dirt 2. The rear of the package goes into detail on the specifications and features of both the board and the EK supplied water cooling solution.
PowerColor has secured this card to withstand the rigors of transit. The inner box is sturdy and well built. The box folds open to show the LCS 5970 in both an anti static bag and bubble wrap with the manual on top. The accessories are in a separate compartment so you don't have adapters bouncing off the PCB with potentially dangerous results.
The accessory bundle included with the PowerColor LCS HD 5970 is pretty substantial. You get everything from the manual and driver disc to the Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort adapter, DVI to HDMI adapter, CrossfireX bridge connection, 6-pin to 8-pin PCI-E power adapter and of course, the fittings to use when connecting to your water cooling loop. These fittings come in both 3/8 and 1/2 inch sizes to accommodate most loops. Plastic clamps and low depth adapters are included if you need them. As an added bonus you get a license to download Dirt 2, one of the very first if not first DX 11 games that make use of the capabilities of the 5 series GPU from ATI and its partners!
Let's take a look at the LCS HD 5970 and see what makes it so special.

The Fourteenth Annual Delaware Minority Job Fair for First-Year Law Students will be held on the Wimington Campus of Widener University School of law on Saturday, January 23, 2010.

FIRST-DATE conversations can be seriously tricky. Fola, a 28-year-old stylist, and Genese, a 28-year-old digital production manager, found out just how awkward they can get when they talked family and future over dinner at Koi, the SoHo sushi eatery. Did chats about the past make for good fodder or did one of them fall victim to TMI?
He said:
Genese was attractive and shy, but I was excited about the date. I tried to break the ice with jokes. We talked about career, family, our likes and dislikes, why we were both single and for how long.
I didn't like that she wasn't supportive of her brother's musical career. I'm a stylist, and I'm going back to school for filmmaking and comedy, so I might be a starving artist in the future.
Koi SoHo was awesome; the atmosphere was young and hip.
I walked Genese to the subway station, got her number and hugged her goodbye. I'm interested in getting to know her, but on a platonic level.
She said:
Fola has a nice smile and was dressed very well. However he is too short for my taste. I am only 5 feet but was taller than him with heels.
We talked about our families and about Newark, NJ, because we both lived there at one time. Fola brought up past relationships, even though I said talking about why your last relationship ended isn't appropriate for a first date.
He complimented me throughout the date. It was nice, but I felt he made up his mind whether or not we'd be together based off my looks and not what I had to say.
The restaurant was lovely, and so was the service and food.
Fola waited with me for my train. We exchanged numbers, however, I am not interested in seeing him romantically.

LINCOLN – Attorney General Jon Bruning announced Ryan Kozisek, 31, of York County was found guilty by jury today on one count of child abuse resulting in the death of his four-month-old daughter Kayley Kozisek. He faces a possible punishment of life imprisonment for the Class IB felony charge. Sentencing is set for March 18, 2013.
"Exactly two years ago, little Kayley's life was cut too short after suffering severe abuse at the hands of her father," said Bruning. "Hopefully, today's conviction will provide some justice for this baby girl."
In January 2011, Kozisek claimed Kayley had stopped breathing after her two-year old sister fell on her. An autopsy showed multiple injuries that resulted in severe hemorrhaging and brain damage. The injuries were later determined to be the result of abusive head trauma.
In March 2011, Kozisek pleaded not guilty in York County Court.
Assistant Attorneys General Bill Tangeman and Michael Guinan handled the case.

Apparently The Word 'Piracy' No Longer Sufficiently Derogatory For Entertainment Industry
from the what's-next? dept
"We should change the word piracy," she told reporters at the unveiling of the report on Wednesday.Ok. Pick your jaw up off the floor. First, this is stunning in that it's been the entertainment industry itself that pushed and popularized the term "piracy" for copyright infringement. They did so very deliberately in an attempt to demonize the act of infringement, presenting it as something much worse. That some have since taken that term and embraced it hardly changes that initial fact. Second, she's wrong about the fact that they're "talking about a criminal act." Yes, in some cases copyright infringement may be a criminal act, but in most cases the use of "piracy" these days refers to civil issues between two parties and not criminal acts at all.
"To me, piracy is something adventurous, it makes you think about Johnny Depp. We all want to be a bit like Johnny Depp. But we're talking about a criminal act. We're talking about making it impossible to make a living from what you do," she said.
Then again, given that this was a statement made in favor of a blatantly misleading report, perhaps it's not surprising that the speakers were blatantly misleading as well.
In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions for Ms. Haaland on what we should call the act of copyright infringement?

Combining history-based trust establishment with distance-bounding protocols
Research report RR-04-100
History-based trust establishment aims at using unlinkable recommendations and proofs of context in order to build trust based on human notions of trust: when two persons meet for the first time, they exchange information on their acquaintances, interest and context in order to find some shared experience on which to build trust. This paper focuses on two central aspects of trust establishment: the history-based trust establishment mechanism and the proof of locality viewed as an important contextual attribute. We suggest a mechanism for proof of locality based on a distance bounding protocol. The resulting proof of locality as well as other attributes can then anonymously be combined with our history-based scheme in order for each party to prove his attributes without revealing his identity. The trust establishment scheme relies on an extension of group signatures and thus inherits various privacy attributes thereof.

Plans are advancing well towards the completion of all new web sites, in particular for robotics, inclusive of humanoid robots. Other web pages may include robotic telescopes, optics, space time equations, and the OBS. One or more pages should include the assortment of various inventions. In particular, I'd like to open up sections for humanoid AI programming, to build up a reference library of functions.
Battery research is continuing, and a study of the effects of voltage levels upon servos. Servos are quite sensitive to drops in supply voltage. The study is named SSB - Servo Study of Batteries. It's inclusive of determining the effects of voltage regulators and stability based on battery voltage.
In order for humanoids function properly, a clean voltage regulated source is primary. Battery technology is still archaic, and new more powerful sources, such as LiPo can be dangerous if not properly handled. However, for the time being, the use of batteries is inevitable until Honda develops a fuel cell for Asimo and that technology filters down.


text: Hello, I have for more than a year now an old linux server (133MHZ, 16MB RAM), which operates as a router and gateway to the internet for 3 Windows clients. Yes, i agree...this is not a very "good" server - anyway, i haven't had any problems with it in the past. It worked well (Internet, LAN etc.) But now, i have a really confusing problem: I wanted to download some files from it and suddenly i remarked, that there is only a 10mbps instead of 100mbps connection between the server and all windows clients (CuteFTP -> ca. 1200KB/s). This made me wonder, because i had a Davicom 9102 in it, which supported 10/100 mbit/s. I looked at the 10/100 switch, which paradoxically indicated a 100 MBits connection. I use Kernel 2.2.16 and so I compiled updated drivers...with no success, the connection remained 10 mbps. Okay, so i changed the davicom card with a realtek (rtl8139A) card from one of the windows clients. But same picture: mii-diag, mii-tool and the switch "said" there is a negotiated 100baseTx-FDX card with "link ok". Though, the data transfer was about 1200KB/s only! I was really confused... now i used rtl8139-diag and - i don't know why - this prog says, that i have a "10mbps half duplex card" with auto-negotiation disabled, even though the other progs like mii-diag say something different... Then i decided to use TTCP to get clearness. And the result was: Between the windows clients there is a connection about 11.000KB/s (in other words ca. 100mbps), between a windows client and the server is something about 3800KB/s. So more than 10 mbps but not 100 mbps. UUh? what's that now? Is the server "too old" for 100 mbps? Is somebody out there, who has got a solution for this problem? P.S: I even used an expensive SMC Ethernet II of a friend for testing...the ttcp result remains 3800 KB/s! P.P.S: In the system there is a second ethernet interface for the connection with the DSL modem. its an old ne2000 compatible. Could this be the problem?

Re: Travelling with a baby...help!
Wow. These other responses are so... rosy... My experiences are not so good, lol. My husband and I moved when baby was 4 months old. The drive would normally take 7-8 hours depending on speed and conditions. It took 14 with baby.
Before the move itself we drove up to find a place. So drive up, a.d back, then again for the move. Most miserable experience of my life. Baby HATED to be stuck in the car seat and would cry for hours if we didn't stop. So we stopped a lot. We even tried driving thinking she might be lulled by the car motion/vibration. No such luck. It was better for the actual move than for the test run.
Some things we did/learned:
-I put up a blanket using safety pins to cover up the back window and block out light. Helped with sleep.
-use a white noise maker. We had our Sleep Sheep going but with road noise I also had an app on my cell playing for louder white noise. (Check out Relax You lite. It's free).
-embrace stopping. Don't fight it. The first time, we were trying so hard to go go go. Everyone was miserable. The second time we just said we will stop WHENEVER we need to. For AS LONG AS we need to. This is not easy, but it is KEY! We stopped whenever. We would spend 20-40 minutes walking around gas stations/ truck stops while I nursed. I noticed baby seemed to want to nurse more (probably stress related).
-my carrier was a godsend. I have a Boba and with the stress/excitement of moving, it was the only way we could nurse. I put a shawl over the top to block out the world and help baby focus. Without the shawl, life was too distracting.
-I don't know if you will be using a moving van or not. We did. It was one with a bench seat, airbags you could turn off, and plenty of legroom, so we could put the carseat in the moving van. We got some good use out of the novelty factor of baby being able to see mom and dad. Lots of fun. We milked that while we could.
-my husband and I have now instituted a no travel policy. Not sure when we will lift that. Not sure how long it will take me to forget the horror...
Hopefully your baby won't mind the car seat. Good luck!
