Easter Is About Removing Stones
March 27, 2016
Who Will Roll Away Your Stone?
Do you have stones stuck in deep ruts at the entrance of your heart—stones of fear, rebellion, despair, or discouragement? Do they loom so large, you surrender at the thought of even trying to remove them?
Easter is about removing stones.
Just in case you've missed this blog in past years, I'd like to share this post again f0r Easter. The message, like Jesus, is ageless.
When Mary and the other women approached the tomb after Jesus' death, they saw an amazing sight. They expected to see the stone still hiding the tomb, and they needed a way to enter the resting place of their beloved Master. The stone represented a barrier to their goal: to anoint the body of their beloved Master with spices. I'm sure their hearts were still downcast as grief flooded their spirits. "Who will roll away the stone?" they asked one another. Read more
A Legacy to Celebrate: Granny Ruth
March 22, 2016
I said good-by to a sweet friend yesterday named Granny Ruth. But I' m sure Jesus greeted her with a warm "Well done!" as she stepped through the gates of heaven. How I will miss her!
I wrote a story about Granny Ruth in one of my books, Day-votions® for Grandmothers. She was one of the most precious, godly women I've ever known, a wonderful example of the "Proverbs Woman," and someone who always said with her life and her words, "There you are!" not "Here I am!"
Her Legacy Will Live On
Ruth had few wrinkles, but she shared miles of smiles through the years with every person she met. The things we could share (and were shared yesterday) about Ruth's life would fill a book by itself. And her legacy will live on forever. But as a special, personal tribute to this gracious woman, tender nurse, beautiful friend, sweet servant, and prayer warrior, here is a microscopic look at Granny Ruth's life as "Everyone's Granny."

When God Wants Change
March 1, 2016
We don't usually add change to our personal agendas. We'd love to write the scripts for our lives; unfortunately, that doesn't happen. And when God includes the word change, He often means something different than we think.

I would. Down on low volume...Great buy op here in the 55-56 range!
You best take another look dude. The volume was not low at all. If it bounces I'm selling more short...
Alas, it wasn't a "fired for cause" sort of thing as you may be wishing to hear of. They closed the entire facility, because their mismanagement had caused them to lose entirely too much money, and it was the quickest way to make up the shortfalls in the budget. If you believe other than that, then perhaps you have not looked too closely at exactly how EA.com actually used the money they got from EA.
So, when did EA fire you?
>I mean take Riccitiello's relocation expenses when he joined EA. $210,000. Seems perfectly reasonable to me!
Hey, that's barely a down payment for a nice house in the hills. ;-)
As if you didn't know this was coming.....
please tell us you sold a little in the mid 60s.
Anybody that sells ERTS below 70 has got a friggin' screw loose. This may be a result of Price dumping there shares, that's the only thing I can figure.
Maybe a little. Are you? Drac's post from yesterday gave me pause.
T. Rowe Price sold off because they were overloaded with the stock but I am not sure if they are done with the selling yet.
In any case, I see the company meeting the EPS expectation for Q3 easily, and they are comfortable with Q4 consensus.
Did you see the analysts raised their consensus for the year? The company is bullish with the numbers and the analysts remain bullish for the sector, but someone has to be realistic at some point. We are in a recession, for Pete's sake!
5 th day of distribution, someone's been selling, but haven't we been in this trading range forever?

- MEF feeder cells;
- Feeder-free
Pluripotent stem cells can be induced from somatic cells by the transcription factors Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4 when co-cultured with mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) feeder cells. To date, the role of the feeder cells in the reprogramming process remains unclear. In this study, using a comparative analysis, we demonstrated that MEF feeder cells did not accelerate reprogramming or increase the frequency of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell colonies. However, feeder conditions did improve the growth of primary iPS colonies and were necessary for passaging the primary colonies after reprogramming was achieved. We further developed a feeder-free culture system for supporting iPS growth and sustaining pluripotency by adding bFGF and activin A (bFA) to the medium. These data will facilitate the generation of human iPS cells without animal feeders for regenerative medicine.

AbstractProposed is the development of a hydroelectric energy device (HEED) wherein the inherent increasing dynamic response with increasing flow rate is considered an opportunity for increased energy harvest. In order to establish requisite control over the otherwise potentially divergent dynamic response, design and harvest strategies from three previously disconnected research realms will be imposed, including dynamics phenomena, advanced aircraft development strategies, and classic electromagnetic induction. The proposed program, with Phase I deliverables closely matching the N112-147 announcement, is considered high risk, high payoff, but includes in-river testing in Phase I Option to mitigate lead-time risks. It is argued that the resulting HEED significantly expands siting opportunities as compared to existing classic and modern approaches a quality that is requisite to a versatile portable system. Moreover, the proposed HEED is expected to display enhanced performance in flow regimes that have traditionally corresponded to degradation in energy conversion efficiency. In addition, the proposed HEED concept is inherently modular, and therefore expected to be readily adaptable to portability and assembly requirements.

Augustin, the owner of La Casa del Viajero, is really kind and helpful. The house is nice and comfortable and it's at about 20-25 minutes walking from downtown. Breakfast consist in a box with coffee powder, condensed milk, tea and mate bags, jam, dulce de leche, cereals and bread. You have to prepare it yourself. I had the feeling that the seems on my mattress were not very clean. Anyway a nice experience!

The present invention relates generally to signaling protocols for wireless communication systems, and more particularly, to a method of reducing the size of signaling messages transmitted over a wireless communication link.
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the Session Description Protocol (SDP) are becoming the de facto standards for IP telephony. SIP is a text-based protocol used for setting-up, modifying, and tearing down media sessions. SIP has also been extended for instant messaging and presence services. SDP is a text-based signaling protocol for describing multimedia sessions. SDP is used for purposes such as session announcement, session invitation, and other forms of multimedia session initiation.
SIP and SDP were originally designed for rich bandwidth connections, so message sizes are not optimized and tend to be rather large. The relatively large message size of SIP messages causes some difficulties when SIP signaling must traverse a narrow bandwidth connection, such as a radio interface in wireless networks or a low-speed serial connection. The large message size of SIP messages consumes valuable bandwidth in wireless networks and substantially increases call set-up time.
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has developed a signal compression protocol known as SIGCOMP to reduce the size of SIP messages for transmission over limited bandwidth connections. The SIGCOMP protocol is described in IETF documents RFC 3320 and RFC 3321, which are incorporated herein by reference. The SIGCOMP protocol makes use of compression/decompression engines at the sending and receiving nodes. The sending node compresses SIP messages and sends the compressed messages to the receiving node along with decompression code needed to decompress the message. Because decompression code is passed from the sender to the receiver, software SIP clients can implement virtually any known compression algorithm and remain compatible with other SIP clients.
The present invention provides a method for sending a text-based signaling message over the air interface of a wireless network. The present invention may be used, for example, to send SIP signaling messages. Conventionally, binary message data is converted into a text-based signaling message, which is then compressed to reduce the message size before transmitting it over the air interface. According to the present invention, the sending node sends the binary message data along with executable code for converting the binary message data into standard SIP signaling messages. The binary message data and the executable code may be transmitted together in a single message or may be transmitted separately. The executable code is used at a proxy server or at the receiving end point to generate standard SIP text. The binary message data may be compressed prior to transmission over the air interface using a saved state or dictionary. The compression algorithm may replace binary message data with a pointer or other reference to an item in a saved state or dictionary.
The IMS 40 uses open interfaces and an access independent session control protocol (SCP), such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), to support multi-media applications. SIP is an application layer control protocol for establishing, modifying and terminating communication sessions between one or more participants. These sessions may include, for example, Internet multimedia conferences, Internet telephony calls, multimedia distributions and network gaming. The SIP is described in the Internet Engineering Task force (IETF) document RFC 3261. While a preferred embodiment of the invention as described herein uses the SIP, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be employed with other SCPs as well. Another well-known protocol comparable to the SIP is H. 323.
SIP is a signaling protocol that uses text-based messages to establish a conference or call between two or more participants. Users are identified by a unique address referred to herein as the SIP address. Users register with a registrar server using their assigned SIP addresses. The registrar server provides this address to a location server upon request. When a user initiates a call, a SIP request is sent to the called party. The request includes the calling party address and called party address in a message header. If a proxy server receives the SIP request, it forwards the SIP request to the called party. The called party may be another mobile terminal or may be an application server in the user's home network. The called party sends a response to the SIP request, which may also pass through a proxy server to the mobile terminal. The proxy server forwards the response to the calling party. The calling party acknowledges the response and a session is then established between the calling party and the called party. Media, such as audio and video, can then be transferred between the parties using Real Time Protocol (RTP) or Message Sessions Relay Protocol (MSRP) for media transport.
If a redirect server receives the SIP request, the redirect server contacts the location server to determine the path to the called party, and then sends that information to the calling party. The calling party acknowledges receipt of the information and then resends the SIP request to the server identified in the redirection information (which could be the called party or a proxy server). When the SIP request reaches the called party, the called party responds and the calling party acknowledges the response.
SIP enables applications residing in mobile devices operating within the wireless network 10 to establish RTP and MSRP sessions with other applications in remote devices. The remote applications may reside in a mobile terminal 100, in a computer connected to a fixed network, or in an application server in the IMS 40. Additionally, the applications may reside in different networks 10.
The GGSN 54, MGCF 44, MGW 46 and T-SGW 48 support interworking with external networks, such as the PSTN or ISDN. The MGW 46 interfaces the media plane of the IMS 40 with the PSTN, while the T-SGW 48 interfaces the signaling plane of the IMS 40 to the SS7 network or other signaling network. The MGCF 44 controls the resources of the MGW 46 and performs protocol conversion. The MGCF 44 converts SIP messages into a different format, such as ISDN User Part (ISUP) messages, for transmission and forwards the converted messages to the T-SGW 48. The T-SGW 48 includes a protocol converter to convert IP messages to SS7 and vice versa. Media destined for the PSTN passes through the MGW 46. The GGSN interfaces the media plane of the IMS 40 with external packet data networks, such as the Internet.
The compression/decompression engine 68 comprises a compressor dispatcher 70, one or more compressors 72, a decompressor dispatcher 74, a Universal Decompression Virtual Machine (UDVM) 76, and a state handler 78. The SIP interpreter 64 normally supplies the compressor dispatcher 70 with a text-based SIP message to be compressed. The compressor dispatcher 70 passes the SIP message to a selected compressor 72. The compressor 72 compresses the message, and returns a compressed message to the compressor dispatcher 70. The compressor 72 may use a saved state or dictionary to perform compression. If not previously sent during registration or during in a previous message, the compressed message may include the decompression bytecode for decompressing the compressed message. The UVDM 76 at a proxy server or at the receiving endpoint executes the decompression bytecode to decompress the message. A separate instance of the UVDM 76 is invoked for each message. Because the originating endpoint sends executable bytecode for decompressing compressed SIP messages, the SIP client 60 is free to implement any compression algorithm and transfer the decompression code to the receiving endpoint. This ability to transfer decompression bytecode from the sending endpoint to the receiving endpoint is one of the key features of SIGCOMP and enables software developers and to use virtually any compression algorithm and still remain compatible with other devices.
The decompressor dispatcher 74 at the proxy server or at the receiving endpoint receives the compressed message and invokes the UVDM 76. The UVDM 76 decompresses the received message and passes the decompressed message to the decompressor dispatcher 74. The decompressor dispatcher 74 passes the decompressed message to the SIP parser 66 at the receiving endpoint.
The state handler 78 is an entity that stores and retrieves state information that is used by the compressor 72 and UVDM 76. A state is message data that is stored to assist in the compression and decompression of later signaling messages. State information is stored in a state memory. Each saved state is uniquely identified by a state identifier. The UVDM 76 may invoke the state handler 58 during decompression to retrieve a saved state from state memory or to create a new saved state. The compressor 72 at a sending endpoint may request creation of a new state by the UVDM 76 at a remote endpoint by sending a state creation to the remote endpoint. The compressor 72 must wait for an acknowledgement from the remote endpoint before it can use a saved state. When a saved state is used in the compression of a message, the state identifier is specified in the compressed message in place of the original text to enable retrieval of the correct state information at the remote endpoint.
Details regarding the structure and operation of the compression/decompression engine 68 may be found in IETF RFCs 3320, 3685 and 3321, and in the SigComp User Guide (draft-ietf-rohc-sigcomp-user-guide-01.text) dated Feb. 18, 2005. These documents are incorporated herein by reference. The SIGCOMP protocol provides a mechanism for transmitting binary data from the sending endpoint to a receiving endpoint. This transfer mechanism is used in the SIGCOMP protocol to transfer the decompression bytecode from the sending endpoint to the receiving endpoint. As described more fully below, the present invention uses this transfer mechanism for a different purpose. Before describing the operation of the present invention, it may be useful to briefly review how SIP/SDP signaling messages are conventionally transmitted.
As shown in
According to the present invention, the task of generating text-based SIP messages as specified by the standards is performed, not at the originating endpoint, but at the receiving endpoint. As noted earlier, the SIGCOMP protocol provides a mechanism to enable binary data to be transmitted to a remote endpoint. This mechanism is used in the conventional SIP signaling to transfer bytecode for decompressing SIP messages at the proxy server or receiving endpoint. The present invention exploits this capability to transfer binary message data to the receiving endpoint instead of standard SIP messages along with bytecode for compiling SIP messages from the binary message data. The bytecode can be executed at the proxy server or at a receiving endpoint the same as decompression bytecode to generate the SIP message at the proxy server or receiving endpoint.
As shown in
While the present invention uses a SIGCOMP compression/decompression engine 68 to perform the function of the binary interpreter 64 at the proxy server or receiving endpoint, those skilled in the art will appreciate that other implementations are also possible. In other embodiments, it is also possible add a protocol layer between the SIP and TCP or UDP layer separate from the SIGCOMP layer to perform the expansion of binary message data into standard SIP text. One advantage of using SIGCOMP is that any node implementing SIGCOMP can receive compressed binary data and convert it to standard SIP text without any modification. Only the sending node needs to be modified (and then only slightly) to pass binary message data directly from the SIP engine 62 to the compression/decompression engine 68.
The present invention may, of course, be carried out in other specific ways than those herein set forth without departing from the scope and essential characteristics of the invention. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and all changes coming within the meaning and equivalency range of the appended claims are intended to be embraced therein.

Good leaders are not only smart, but have high EQ. They think about others and let reporting people know how important they are. Their passion is infectious, and emotional connection makes the day. I wish we had more of that in corporations today, where most of the labor force is disengaged, and doesn't look forward to their work day.

(From the article): The world is more complex than ever before, and yet what customers often respond to best is simplicity — in design, form, and function. Taking complex projects, challenges, and ideas and distilling them to their simplest components allows customers, staff, and other stakeholders to better understand and buy into your vision. We humans all crave simplicity, and so today's leader must be focused and deliver simplicity.

VUCA times require more of leaders not less. Leaders need to be a Direct, Understandable, Reliable, and Trustworthy leader.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, June 4, 2014 11:50 AM
When we are direct, are understood, are reliable, and trustworthy, we send signals about being responsible. The era of accountability and transparency are not about responsibility. We can still hide necessary information in being transparent. We cannot when we are responsible.
Frank J. Papotto, Ph.D.'s curator insight, June 4, 2014 12:29 PM
Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (aka VUCA) does require good leadership. But all of the DURT behaviors are important and should be practiced regardless of conditions. Trust as we know is important for robust engagement, clarity is important for broad alignment, directness is important for superb execution and reliability is important in sustainable adaptation. Leadership's purpose in VUCA situations and, in general, is to maintain and build effectiveness in achieving results; the DURT behaviors and other Purposeful Leadership behaviors is at the heart of organizational success regardless of circumstances.

Sheriff Kenneth Moore says the deputy was headed to an accident when he hydroplaned and hit a fence.
There was damage to the car, but the deputy wasn't seriously hurt.

I like finding different types and styles of basket. I've got a few metal ones to.
:) Donna
Basket Collection
Cool stuff Donna. My favorite is your last one. I want it for my garden! And it would be an outstanding piece in the new cafe right as you come in. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/784020/
Karma does this mean you want me to decorate it for the new cafe?
Pretty pretty please? It would be perfect for a pot of mums!
Very impressive Donna, a lovely collection of baskets you have there!
All of those could be used!!!! I can just see it now, a beautiful basket collection fillled with flowers for autumn colur in our cafe'
uhmmm ,....... me and Yardqueen were wondering if you have any more baskets?
we are still wondering...... .... .... ..
I might have a few more but nothing to fancy.
I'll see what I can come up later in the day. I was just checking a few threads before I went to bed.
Glad you are still checking threads!
Hi Donna,
Nice to have you back! Like your baskets, the cutie is fun, is that a topiary frame? does it open ? just wondering! I would probably put floral foam inside and make a flower bunny! The white wire one is unsual, I wonder what you will use that for? Ohh I love your wicker christmas tree! Did you make it? it's lovely and so different. Thankyou for showing us your baskets, they are great!
Thanks, Terri! The bunny does have an opening in the back and the wire one is definitely different. I can't remember where I picked up the wicker Xmas tree but nope I didn't make it.
:) Donna

LOS ANGELES—Adam Eisenberg has been named the VP of acquisitions and joint-venture opportunities in the California and southwest regions at Bolour Associates, a privately owned commercial real estate investment, development and finance company. Eisenberg will mange and expand the firm's asset portfolio in these regions.
"This appointment recognizes Adam's significant contributions and speaks to the firm's expanding investment, development and finance portfolios," said Mark Bolour, CEO and principal of Bolour Associates," says Mark Bolour, the CEO and principal of Bolour Associates. "We see significant growth opportunities in urban and coastal communities in northern and southern California and the Southwest regions of the country." Eisenberg will focus specifically on markets in Texas, Arizona, California and Nevada.
Last year, Eisenberg supervised the firm's acquisitions of several assets in the downtown market as well as oversaw the project management of the Hermosa Beach Hotel development, a sizable project. Bolour purchased the land parcel for the hotel development last summer for $19.5 million. It plans to build several bars and restaurants and the site and recently chose architecture firm HKS Hill Glazier Studio to design the project.
Before joining the firm, he served as a real estate broker in Las Vegas. He specializes in land acquisitions and dispositions. Eisenberg was unavailable to comment on his promotion prior to the publication of this story; however, we will update this story with more information as it becomes available.

913 Tasting Notes
Wow, I don't know if it's because this box was almost at expiry or if DAVIDsTEA is just that much more flavourful, but it was a bad idea to follow an amazing cold brew of DT Superberry with a cold brew of this… which, to be perfectly honest, just tastes like black tea. I can't get much else at all.
But with today's hot weather, it's acceptable!
Today was beautiful and cold in Hobart (it's summer… it snowed on the mountain last night?) and my friend came over for the afternoon to binge-watch Reign. I offered her this or DT Love Tea #7. She asked for both… at the same time. Half and half in the pot. Lovely! This really mellowed the sometimes overwhelming sweetness of the #7 beautifully.
Aaaaand I couldn't help but finish off the last of this tonight. About half a tsp sugar added to this made it ridiculously sweet; I wish I'd tried it before adding the sugar! But this was definitely a nice brew and I'm glad I got the sample, even gladder I read the ingredients the other day and realised I wanted to drink this ASAP.

Darth Tater has a new contest for the forum
Check it out!
miss the pistons.
Hi All, i was away for long time. I was looking forward seeing huge names on the roaster... who did we trade CB for? where are the big names? i am...
i thought this thread is about how Pistons won't make it to 2010 playoffs this year
few years back, i was so excited to watch Pistons on new year eve... i don't know about this year...
i agree that fans are biased to there teams as well. But there are very good examples of 2006 finals where Pistons were clearly not being treated...
the main question is not who is going to score... it is who is going to stop briant
sure they would let go... but they always made the wrong call in the wrong time... always making sure the game is lost...my statement still...
i think the calls were totally against Celtics in that game... i would say review all games that Sheed was ejected, then check if those games were...
i voted Tay but Ben is in the lead with 26%.
I think the value of Tay's block is more... it gave the pistons the 2004 title
CB, Tay, Rip and Sheed :)
i am mistaken then, he does not look that big. Obviously numbers suggest he is
Height is not the only factor. He is very skinny. you can't compare him to J Max, Big Ben or Sheed
if JJ plays 4, this would mean more of smaller ball... having seen last season, i am not big fan of small ball with JJ size players at 4.
trading Tay would mean repeating the same mistake Joe did with trading CB. Pistons were looking for a good PG back up. once Stuck showed some good...
Get CB Back!!!!
can you guys send the link please?
I've seen Anderson shoot 3's before. He is good shooter. We were lucky with him missing all those wide open 3's ... This will not be the case...
So Rasheed is willing to play 15 - 20 minutes with Celtics, but won't be a role player for Pistons???? i am very disappointed
Separate names with a comma.

Okay guys this is my first masterpost—albeit rather small masterpost—(minipost?) and I'm doing it on my phone so please bear with me.
I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention how! Fucking! Awesome! The majority of the 1D fandom is. (◠‿◠✿)
So today, Danielle Peazer did an #AskDanielle for the Cyber Smile Foundation, which is an organization against cyber bullying. Seems nice, right? How sweet of Danielle to support the foundation and openly take questions from her followers, even though she knows most of them are Directioners, who are dying to know about her recent breakup with Liam Payne.
So. Let's begin with clicking the hash tag #AskDanielle. Scrolling through the Tweets, there seems to be a common theme going on here… As seen above, most (mainly all) questions on the #AskDanielle tag are asking her about her weave. If you don't know, this fandom is obsessed with proclaiming Danielle's hair is a weave. She's disputed this several times and even blocked people over it. In an interview, Liam actually commented on the hate she was getting about her hair, and how she was beginning to wear it straight most of the time because of the backlash. Okay. Let's dissect this. Danielle is mixed. Half white, half black. If most Directioners weren't stupid 16 year old white girls living in a bubble they would know that most mixed kids have curly hair thanks to both hair textures from their parents. Everyone else with a brain just accepts it, and moves on. Danielle is natural, meaning she chooses not to perm her hair, and to keep it in its natural curly state. But because she is black/half-black (or however she identifies) her hair MUST be a weave right?! Blak gurl hav hair????? That's long???!?!?!? That is what most Directioners think. What started as a "joke" catapulted to full on bullying. For the two and whatever years Liam and Danielle have been together, she has dealt with this. But what mainly gets me going is how RACIST this "joke" is. Because black women can't have long or big hair without it being a "weave." Black women who wear weaves are always targeted so negatively by so many people. Even our own people. Weaves are SO "ghetto," and "ratchet," but when a white woman wears one, it's just "extensions," right? If Louis' girlfriend Eleanor suddenly got longer hair, hers would be called extensions. But never a weave! Because weaves are for ghetto black girls. Shout outs to the white girls who "wish they were Beyonce" because "she's so beautiful." Yes. Correct. Her hair is beautiful too, now, right? Correct. So how do you think her hair stays laid like that? WEAVE. EXTENSIONS. HAIR THAT ISN'T HERS. And that is completely fine! I'll be damned if Katy Perry can alternate between colored wigs every damn day, but Rihanna can't. Fuck that. Anyway, back to Danielle. So Danielle logs on to see all of these bullshit racist as fuck weave questions. Then she also sees questions about Liam. Oh joy! Now she's being bombarded with questions about her ex-boyfriend! But look again, they aren't questions about her relationship with Liam, they're questions about their sex life; specifically Liam's "10 inch penis." If you visit the hashtag and scroll and scroll, there are multiple questions about Liam's dick and how well she took it. This is again, racism. 'How is it racist, Charlotte?' You wonder. Well let me drop some history on ya real quick. Can I do that? Can I drop some history on y'all? (This is when the black congregation says "YAS PASSA (pastor)!" "Go on, now!" "PREACH PREACHA!) By asking Danielle about her sex life is not only hella intrusive, but it's racist. When you inquire about someone's sex life, ESPECIALLY someone you don't know, you are sexualizing them. Since slavery, black people have been characterized as hyper-sexual. Black men would get called rapists, and black women would get called Jezebels. These are false attributes that have been placed on us to prove white people's theory back then that we were animals. SO, by asking Danielle how freaky she was in bed with Liam, is racist, because you are labeling her as hyper-sexual. And I know people ask Eleanor those questions too, but not in the same context. With Eleanor, there's a level of respect. Because she's so pretty!!!1!1!1 And perfect!!!1!1!1 With Danielle there is no line. Especially when she's asked how Liam dominated her chocolate body. (I KNOW I don't have to explain how racist that Tweet was). So great job, 1D fandom! Awesome job, Directioners! You have failed the racism test again. You ought to be proud. I don't give a fuck if you are a "sass account" or whatever, you have no fucking right to be racist. Go hang onto the boys' balls and discard your racist bullshit and bullying. Because the Directioners with brains are tired of calling you out on your racism. We are exhausted.

This paper presents a new method for computing the configuration-space map of obstacles that is used in motion-planning algorithms. The method derives from the observation that, when the robot is a rigid object that can only translate, the configuration space is a convolution of the workspace and the robot. This convolution is computed with the use of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm. The method is particularly promising for workspaces with many and/or complicated obstacles, or when the shape of the robot is not simple. It is an inherently parallel method that can significantly benefit from existing experience and hardware on the FFT

Haha, wow, completely forgot about this cartoon. Was supposed to be a tribute, but back then it was the shittiest stuff I made. Was like... I dunno, 4 years ago? xD
i love the awesome series, i just watched this one for the first time, it was hilarious, i loved the end when the dude in the ship started freakin out and then exploded, great job.
Poor effort.
What little content there is in this animation is just poor. The graphics look traced from ego's style to a point where they don't like right when in certain positions and the jokes just aren't funny for a lack of relevance.

Dude. Cut the crap and make Stella and Kazuya a couple. This randomness is giving me a headache.

Hey nice story! Just one thing though. Not that I'm hating on you or anything, but did you really have to make Elizabeth do the baptism with Kazuya?
| nine chapter 43 . 9/24/2014
I m bored and tired of kazuya liking stella. You should try elizabeth and kazuya here. It would be awesome if they really fall in love with each other.

Hey bro or sis just discovered your gem of a story today and i read in one short hope u will update soon haha keep up the good work too.

| King of All Writers684 chapter 1 . 7/13/2014
First, allow me to say that was an incredible story. The amount of time you spent on this story is phenomenal. However, i must admit that the ending was rather, upsetting to me. It also made me hope for possible sequel. All in all, splendid work.
| Zero00Heroes chapter 43 . 6/15/2014
hi i'm new to the sight and i hope to continue writing. can i say that i'm a huge fan of your stories and i really hope you haven't given up on them like "A Father's Love" . "A Wind Flower". "A Mother Love: Fire and Blood" these are some of the best stories that i have read on this site and i love rereading them from time to time i want ask for some advice. I'm currently writing my own Freezing story SOLDIER and i would like your advice on how to portray their emotions. any other advice would be helpful so please and thank you
| IchiIchi chapter 43 . 6/7/2014
Kazuya is stupid as Shi* I loved your story, really did. Was searching through the Freezing archives and found this story. Even though it's an old story I'm hoping you can restart it because I adored it at first and now... my adoration has considerably lessened. Elizabeth is a genuinely fantastic character in Freezing and I just hated the role she played in your story, it was like a necessary sacrifice. Loved Stella's character. Just that the way it is right now left a bitter taste. Kazuya now seems weaker than in Canon, not ability-wise, but character-wise, hope you get what I'm pointing out here. I just hope you restart and finish this story, a selfish wish of an unsatisfied fan c:
| FintonStack chapter 43 . 5/18/2014
Gah my god it's almost painful to see Stella and Kazuya not be official now haha, your writing is great. I apologize for not reviewing previously but I have just finished this story (within 1 entire day), and I gotta say, it's awesome. Kept me reading the entire way through it.
What can I say other than I hope Kazuya grows a spine and tells Elizabeth where to shove it :D
| misterfn chapter 43 . 4/24/2014
I feel sorry for Elizabeth. Kazuya can't abandon her, that mustn't be. Why he can't be together with these two girls? I can't think Elizabeth reject this :D
| alienvx0 chapter 43 . 4/16/2014
My god Kazuya is such a living contradiction. He loves Satellizer and wants to be with her, but at the same time he owes Elizabeth his life and became her Limiter / husband. Also at the same time, he cheats on Elizabeth with Stella. What an emotional roller coaster the story has been up to this point.
It looks like he'll eventually end up with Satellizer, which is quite a shame since I was actually rooting for Elizabeth. Perhaps love can still bloom from what little they have right now.
| July305 chapter 43 . 4/14/2014
you have to do it thanks man you have to have aoi go after stabilizer after going to live with Elizabeth deciding he loved stabilizer., so he tracked stabilizer told her what happened and told her that he left Elizabeth so that he can be with her .
| Zionchar11 chapter 20 . 4/3/2014
BEST OMAKE EVER! anyway.. man that last chapter.. Y U DO DIS! THE DRAMA IS TOO GOOD! GAHHHHH.. I hope Elizabeth will get it once he knew...

You can make a difference in curbing air pollution
Advocates uniformly say not enough is being done enough to curb industrial pollution. The rallying cry is for a moratorium on new high construction, refinery or mining expansions, or for refineries to move altogether away from the Wasatch Front. They see solutions in "no excuses action," that place primacy on health over dollars and jobs provided by industry.
As the demands rage on, more than two dozen regulations passed by air quality regulators will clean up consumer products and invoke new pollution-cutting standards on small businesses like auto body shops.
Becker, joined by some public policy groups, argues real legislative change is necessary to cut down on the air pollution, including raising the gas tax, enhancing funding for UTA to provide more bus routes and allowing the divison of air quality to adopt fixes that are more stringent than the federal government.
One researcher questioned the value of implementing a tougher standard when the state can't even meet the current one on the books and if energy might be better directed at reducing vulnerabilities of populations clustered along high-pollution corridors.
Still others believe new vehicle and fuel standards called "Tier 3" will help to scrub the air; over time cleaner cars have made a signifigant dent in the amount of air pollution that exists. Utah Gov. Gary Herbert is requesting $18 million for air pollution initiatives, including replacing the dirtiest of old diesel school busses.
Arden Pope, a Brigham Young University professor whose breakthrough research made the link between air pollution and adverse health effects, said it would be wise for people to remember that pollution-combatting changes have been monumental, but the problem still exists along the Wasatch Front.
"Automobiles have cleaned up dramatically — the amount of pollution coming out of the tailpipe of gasoline powered vehicles is dramatically lower. We see some improvement with industry, but industry keeps growing."
The Utah Foundation study noted the curious statistical anomaly that shows despite estimates that Salt Lake County emissions have plunged by 47 percent from 2002-2011, there has been no marked difference in the number of high pollution days during that time frame.
"While we are lowering the pollutants we are putting into the air, we can't statistically say whether there has been an increase or a decrease given the number of high pollution days," Teigen said.
He said the lesson for Utah residents should be that there is no time out or rest when it comes to cleaning up the air.
Pope agrees: "We have been struggling and trying to improve our air quality and even with that struggle, we continue to have poor air quality certainly during those times when we have stagnant air."
Both men said the lesson contained in inversions that persist despite the advances made in the war on pollution are a reminder that no single slingshot will slay the bully of bad air.
"So as we go forward, " Teigen said, "even if we take care of wood smoke, even if the UTA ramps up bus service and we put in Tier 3 standards, there is no rest period in this."
Added Pope: "What we need to do is have reasonable goals to have clean safe cities. All of us are going to have to work at it, but we will all benefit from it. The benefits of improving our air quality are large enough that it is worth it."
