ASCO15: NanoString Highlights Results From Three Significant New Prosigna Studies Presented At The 51st Annual Meeting Of The ASCO
Prosigna Shown to Predict Response to Chemotherapy
Prognostic Accuracy Confirmed in Comprehensive Nationwide Population Study
Second Decision Impact Study Confirms Prosigna Changes Physician Treatment Decisions
SEATTLE, June 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NanoString Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq:NSTG) a provider of life science tools for translational research and molecular diagnostic products, today highlighted the results from three important studies presented at the 51st Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), which confirm the clinical significance of the Prosigna® Breast Cancer Assay based on the PAM50 gene signature. These studies provide additional evidence of Prosigna's ability to inform physician's treatment decisions by identifying high risk patients who may be responsive to chemotherapy and low risk patients who may be spared unnecessary therapy. Together, these studies substantially bolster the evidence for Prosigna's clinical utility in real world settings.
"The studies presented at ASCO have substantially strengthened the evidence for Prosigna's clinical utility," said Brad Gray, President and Chief Executive Officer of NanoString. "In combination with Prosigna's recent inclusion in the St. Gallen Breast Cancer Guidelines, these new data further demonstrate the power of Prosigna to physicians and payors, and support access to this important test for patients worldwide."
The first study supports Prosigna's clinical utility by verifying the ability of Prosigna to predict which patients respond to chemotherapy (Abstract #11049). The investigators demonstrated that within the population of HR+, HER2-, node-negative and node-positive (1-3 positive nodes) breast cancer patients, higher Prosigna ROR scores predicted increased response to a modern neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen containing anthracyclines and taxanes (p=0.007).
"Multiple studies have now demonstrated that low risk patients identified by Prosigna can be spared chemotherapy," said Dr. Aleix Prat, Head Medical Oncology Department at Hospital Clínic, University of Barcelona and Principal Investigator of the study. "With this new study, we also have strong evidence that patients categorized by Prosigna as high risk are responsive to chemotherapy."
A second study, which involved the largest number of patient samples tested with Prosigna to date (n=2,749), yielded three separate abstracts. This retrospective-prospective study performed by the Danish Breast Cancer Study Group (DBCG) analyzed tissue samples and outcomes from all Prosigna-indicated Danish women diagnosed from 2000 to 2003, thus eliminating the selection or enrollment bias common in other population-based studies. Analysis of this comprehensive nationwide population demonstrated that in a real-world setting, Prosigna can:
Reliably identify patients with low risk of recurrence who may be spared overtreatment with chemotherapy (Abstract #546)
Identify a significant number of node-positive patients who have low risk of recurrence and may be spared chemotherapy (Abstract #513)
Accurately predict risk of late recurrence, and therefore be utilized to identify patients who need, or more importantly may be spared, extended endocrine therapy (Abstract #544)
Finally, investigators from the West German Study Group evaluated the ability of the Prosigna Assay to influence treatment decisions by medical oncologists (Abstract #535). In this unselected, all-comers population of 200 postmenopausal early-stage breast cancer patients, Prosigna test results led oncologists to change adjuvant therapy recommendation in 18.2 percent of patients. Oncologists modified chemotherapy use based on Prosigna test results with increased use in patients categorized as high risk and reduced use in patients categorized as low risk. This study replicates results from a similar study conducted in Spain and recently published by the Grupo Español de Investigación del Cáncer de Mama (GEICAM), Current Medical Research & Opinion, June 2015, Vol. 31, No. 6.
About the Prosigna® Breast Cancer Prognostic Gene Signature Assay and nCounter® Dx Analysis System
The Prosigna Assay provides a risk category and numerical score for assessment of the risk of distant recurrence of disease at 10 years in postmenopausal women with node-negative (Stage I or II) or node-positive (Stage II), hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer. Based on the PAM50 gene signature initially discovered by Charles Perou, Ph.D. and colleagues, the Prosigna Assay is an in vitro diagnostic tool that utilizes gene expression data weighted together with clinical variables to generate a risk category and numerical score to assess a patient's risk of distant recurrence of disease. The Prosigna Assay measures gene expression levels of RNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) breast tumor tissue previously diagnosed as invasive breast carcinoma.
The Prosigna Assay requires minimal hands-on time and runs on NanoString's proprietary nCounter® Dx Analysis System, which offers a reproducible and cost-effective way to profile many genes simultaneously with high sensitivity and precision.
The nCounter Dx Analysis System is a highly automated and easy-to-use platform that utilizes a novel digital barcoding chemistry to deliver high precision multiplexed assays. The system is available in the multi-mode FLEX configuration, which is designed to meet the needs of high-complexity clinical laboratories seeking a single platform with the flexibility to run the Prosigna Breast Cancer Assay and, when operated in the "Life Sciences" mode, process translational research experiments and multiplexed assays developed by the laboratory.
In the United States, the Prosigna Assay is available for diagnostic use when ordered by a physician. The Prosigna Assay has been CE-marked and is available for use by healthcare professionals in the European Union and other countries that recognize the CE Mark, as well as Canada, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, South Africa and Hong Kong.
In the U.S., the Prosigna Assay is indicated in female breast cancer patients who have undergone surgery in conjunction with locoregional treatment consistent with standard of care, either as:
(1) a prognostic indicator for distant recurrence-free survival at 10 years in postmenopausal women with Hormone Receptor-Positive (HR+), lymph node-negative, Stage I or II breast cancer to be treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy alone, when used in conjunction with other clinicopathological factors or (2) a prognostic indicator for distant recurrence-free survival at 10 years in postmenopausal women with Hormone Receptor-Positive (HR+), lymph node-positive (1-3 nodes), Stage II breast cancer to be treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy alone, when used in conjunction with other clinicopathological factors. The device is not intended for patients with four or more positive nodes.
For more information, please visit www.prosigna.com.
NanoString Technologies provides life science tools for translational research and molecular diagnostic products. The company's nCounter Analysis System has been employed in life sciences research since it was first introduced in 2008 and has been cited in over 700 peer-reviewed publications. The nCounter Analysis System offers a cost-effective way to easily profile the expression of hundreds of genes, proteins, miRNAs, or copy number variations, simultaneously with high sensitivity and precision, facilitating a wide variety of basic research and translational medicine applications, including biomarker discovery and validation. The company's technology has also been applied to diagnostic use. The Prosigna Breast Cancer Prognostic Gene Signature Assay together with the nCounter Dx Analysis System is FDA 510(k) cleared for use as a prognostic indicator for distant recurrence of breast cancer.

Holding Time for Feedstuffs May Reduce Swine Disease Risk
Producers urged to talk with their feed suppliers
The ongoing outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) in China, Belgium and elsewhere, have crystallized the U.S. pork industry's focus and collaboration on finding new ways to help protect the domestic herd from costly foreign animal diseases (FADs). One new practice designed to reduce disease transmission risk involves knowing exactly how long certain feed ingredients have been securely stored before allowing their use on pig farms.
As modelling in peer-reviewed research1 has made clear, it's possible for swine disease viruses to survive in shipments of certain feed ingredients during transoceanic shipping to U.S. ports and even to inland points of feed manufacture. Based on this current research, a holding time of 78 days after the date of manufacture and bagging or sealing to prevent additional contamination ("born on date") for amino acids, minerals or vitamins will degrade 99.99% of viral contamination. The holding time extends to 286 days for soybean meal to allow for similar viral degradation, once shipped to prevent additional contamination.
"Working with your feed supplier to get this type of information is yet another way to help protect your pigs from potential infection from a foreign animal disease," said Dave Pyburn, DVM, senior vice president of science and technology for the National Pork Board. "It's just one more tool in our arsenal against African swine fever and other diseases that we hope will offer U.S. producers more protection against this growing global threat."
The feedstuffs studied that have shown the potential to support virus survival include: conventional soybean meal1, DDGS1, lysine hydrochloride1, choline chloride1, vitamin D1, pork sausage casings1, dry and moist dog food1, organic soybean meal1, soy oil cake1, moist cat food1, and porcine-based ingredients2. There may be other feedstuffs that were not tested that could support survival of pathogenic viruses. Scientific study and proof-of-concept work in this area continues. To date, without an organized surveillance program, pathogenic swine viruses are not being identified in imported feedstuffs.
"It's clear from the research that certain feed ingredients can support viral survival during conditions modeled after either trans-Atlantic or trans-Pacific shipping to U.S. ports," said Paul Sundberg, DVM, director of the Swine Health Information Center. "Based on these findings, we think it's prudent that the entire U.S. pork industry look at this research and consider taking action to help us prevent a FAD from entering this country through this route."
In a related area of disease prevention, the National Pork Board, the National Pork Producers Council, the American Association of Swine Veterinarians and the Swine Health Information Center recommend that producers talk to their feed suppliers to get information about seven key areas.
Describe the facility's biosecurity program to minimize the spread of pathogens from people, vehicles and ingredients.
Describe the facility's employee training on feed safety.
Describe the facility's pest control program.
Describe the facility's traceability program.
Describe the facility's supplier approval program.
Is the facility certified by a third-party certification body for food safety? Third-party certification programs may include the Feed Additives Manufacturers (FAMI-QS), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the Safe Quality Food (SQF), Safe Feed/Safe Food, etc.
Does the facility utilize ingredients that were manufactured or packaged outside of the United States?
To get a better handle on your particular farm's risk of FAD transport via a feed ingredient, Sundberg advises producers to use the newly developed virus transport in feed ingredients decision tree matrix. "It was developed to help producers work with their feed suppliers to minimize risk from feed ingredients," he said.
Aside from the specific feed-related ways reduce disease risk, Tom Burkgren, DVM, executive director for the AASV, advises producers to review their current on-farm biosecurity plan with their veterinarian. "While this is always a good thing to do periodically, it's critically important now to find any potential weaknesses in your production practices so that you can take immediate steps to fix them to help protect your animals."
The four swine groups continue to collectively reach out to USDA officials, including Chief Veterinary Officer Jack Shere, to see what can be done to enhance the protection of the domestic swine herd from ASF and all FADs.
"U.S. agriculture must bolster its defenses against the spread of animal disease as we face heightened risk," said Liz Wagstrom, chief veterinarian for the National Pork Producers Council. "These measures should include private-sector efforts like those that have informed this feed directive as well as publicly funded programs to guard against disease outbreaks that would immediately close export markets and threaten prosperity in rural America."

The Seat Cupra-e-Racer is the only car to date that has been built to ETCR's technical regulations
Williams Advanced Engineering wins exclusive Electric Touring Car contract
Following the announcement last year by WSC Ltd, promoter of the TCR series that it plans to launch ETCR, the first electric multi-brand Touring Car racing series, with production cars powered by a common 100% electric powertrain that it has just been revealed will be supplied by Williams Advanced Engineering. It will design, develop, manufacture and supply the batteries and vehicle control modules (VCMs) for the series that plans to establish itself first across Europe, Asia and North America.
"The team at Williams Advanced Engineering is delighted to be able to bring our award-winning expertise in electrification to ETCR," said Iain Wight, business development director of Williams Advanced Engineering. "With the experience, skills and know-how accumulated within Williams from electrifying motorsport and road-going cars, we're excited to work with the team at WSC Group to continue the progress of electric vehicles and racing to inspire the future of sustainable mobility."
The series also aims to position itself as the leading motorsport platform for R&D of electric vehicle technologies to be applied to road cars and provide a marketing platform to demonstrate new and existing technologies and innovation. WSC plans to aim the series at motorsport lovers, enthusiasts of new technologies and their sustainable application.
First revealed at the Geneva Show in March 2018, the Seat Cupra-e-Racer is the only car to date that has been built to ETCR's technical regulations. It was subsequently given shakedown tests by Jordi Gene at Parcmotor Castelloli in Spain where the maximum output of the electric motors, power management regarding temperatures, and the car's driveability were all examined and measured along with the accelerator response, the braking system and energy recovery.
The ETCR series, which was officially launched during last October's TCR Europe season-ending round at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, will feature both street circuits and permanent tracks, using connectivity and new technologies to deliver a new format with race data available to spectators at the event and online.
IMSA president Scott Atherton has already expressed an interest in the series, saying that the potential addition of the ETCR platform to IMSA's portfolio, which holds the North American rights to TCR, has been evaluating future all-electric race options and that it would be "very consistent" to its vision for the future of motorsport, but that IMSA needs to have a "leadership" role.

Our philosophy has always been to achieve the skills, have fun, and be safe, while encouraging the students to be the best they can be. We concentrate on the individual gymnast and emphasize their accomplishments and goals.
Gymnastics classes are offered for ages 3 through high school. Mountain Gymnastics Center Team participates in the AAU and USA competitive programs levels 2-7.
Mountain Gymnastics Center opened in March of 1986, after much planning, hard work, and many prayers. The first gymnastics facility was located on the town square in an upstairs room above the old Rogers Grocery store. This was the only location in town that had enough floor space and enough ceiling height. The main gym was 30 x 50 ft of carpeted area, and the very first classes were held without any equipment. By the next week, uneven bars, a beam, a homemade vaulting horse, a spring board for vault, and several mats were available to be used in the gym. Until January of 2005, Mountain Gymnastics Center remained in that same facility, acquiring new equipment and teaching more and more students.
In the present facility, triple the square footage, nothing has changed in philosophy or our key concentrations, only the location differs. Shelley Thomas has owned and operated Mountain Gymnastics Center since its beginning, more than 28 years ago.
We are currently working on an online registration program. The following links are part of what we are testing. Please do not try to create a new account now. We will notify you when it is up and running.

Wizards Vs. 76ers Final Score: After 30-Point Halftime Deficit, Washington Loses 103-83 To Philadelphia
By Brendan Porath Jan 23, 2012, 9:25pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Wizards Vs. 76ers Final Score: After 30-Point Halftime Deficit, Washington Loses 103-83 To Philadelphia
For the third time this season, the Washington Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, falling 103-83 at the Wells Fargo Center. Washington is now 0-7 on the road this season. Trailing by thirty points at the half, the Wizards really never had a chance to get back in this one and it was only a matter of whether Philly would extend its lead over the final two quarters. The Wizards picked up the offensive production slightly, and cut the lead by ten against the coasting Sixers.
Jordan Crawford led the Wizards with 17 points off the bench, hitting six of 16 from the floor in 23 minutes. John Wall and Andray Blatche added 13 points each, but the defensive effort was absent right from the jump. After shooting 65 percent from the floor in the first half, the Sixers came back down to earth in the second but still shot better than 50 percent for the game. Elton Brand was questionable before the game but finished with 17 points and nine boards for Philly.
It was the fifth straight loss to the Sixers, who lead the Atlantic Division by five games. Washington has now lost three in a row, but have an opportunity to get their third win of the season on Wednesday when they host fellow cellar dweller Charlotte at the Verizon Center.
For more on the Wizards you can check out Bullets Forever, but from a view form the other bench, be sure to check out Liberty Ballers and SB Nation Philly. And as always, there will be plenty more on this and every NBA game on the SB Nation NBA hub.

Another name for archival prints is 'Giglee' prints. Giglee is a term originally coined to describe a high quality fine art print created on an IRIS printer. Over the years, though, the term has become synonymous with high-resolution prints from a high quality inkjet printer using archival inks (fade-resistant) on archival (acid-free) paper or canvas. I refer to the prints that I sell as archival prints, as the term seems more understandable.
All of my archival prints are hand-numbered, titled, and signed by me, and come in limited edition sets. For example, if I offer a signed limited edition set of 25 of an 8 x 10 print; it is my pledge to never to offer for sale more than 25 signed prints in an 8 x 10 edition. After the 25th signed 8 x 10 print sells, the set is sold-out and is no longer available. Really. I do reserve the right to release the same image in multiple limited edition sets that come in different sizes; so while an 8 x 10 edition may be sold out, I may still create a new 5 x 7 edition (unless it's already been sold-out). I also reserve the right to offer unsigned reproductions of my work through other services, such as Fine Art America, in unlimited numbers and sizes.
My limited edition signed prints are printed at Amy Ferrari Art under the direction of Marco, owner of Ferrari Industrial Design. Being a typical designer, he's a real stickler for precision! We use an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 inkjet printer with the Epson Archival inks on fine art quality 100% cotton rag archival paper. The size of our Epson printer limits the sizes of the prints we can offer, as the maximum width of a paper roll is 13 inches.
While a fancy inkjet print will never compare with the original painting, offering archival prints is an easy way for art-lovers to acquire fine art that will last a lifetime if cared for. It's a win for customers because prints are so easy to buy! Offering archival prints is also a win for me because I get to share my work with more people, and it helps me create additional income from a single painting.
If there's an image of one of my paintings that you would like but don't see available, please contact me to see if it's possible to create a high quality print of that image. Many of my archived images are older, and pre-date our access to higher resolution cameras. If a limited edition of the piece you wanted is sold-out, please contact me to see if it's possible to create a new limited edition in a significantly different size.
If you are local to The Region of Waterloo (Ontario) and can arrange to pick-up your print directly, you may be able to avoid shipping charges. The prices of my prints do not include matting or framing. The prints that I offer will be printed as soon as they are ordered, thus the shipping time is extended by a couple days in order schedule the printing. Please note that some original images from the paintings may be minimally cropped and/or stretched to accommodate the edition's size format.


Dozens of construction workers are quickly laying steel rebar and concrete for the foundations and lower floors of 1 Willoughby Square in Downtown Brooklyn. Located at 420 Albee Square, the 34-story, 495-foot-tall, 500,000 square foot Class-A office tower is being developed by JEMB and designed by FXCollaborative. It broke ground in February, and sits directly across the street from the City Point residential and retail complex to the west.
A line of trucks stand back to back waiting to pour the concrete for the lower floors of the building. Willoughby Square Park, designed by Hargreaves Associates, and the building's underground parking garage will sit on the northern end of the property. For the moment, construction has not yet begun on those components.
The retaining walls for the building's perimeter were built around the 19-story Hotel Indigo, completed before 1 Willoughby Square started construction. It sits on its own isolated block within the 18,000-square foot rectangular property of One Willoughby Square. As a result, the new skyscraper had to incorporate a T-shaped layout in order to build around the hotel without wasting land value and potential office square footage.
420 Albee Square will be covered with wrap-around ribbon glass windows, reflective column panels, and a sleek dark blue paneling atop the perimeter of each floor. Two outdoor terraces divide the building into thirds, and another, the largest of the trio, will sit atop of the six-story podium, serving as the main setback for the tower.
The top floors will have their own private loggias and 18-foot ceilings. From the top, office workers can enjoy the view and experience of being within the skyscraper cluster of Downtown Brooklyn, which is seeing rapid growth of new skyscrapers including 11 Hoyt, Brooklyn Point, 9 Dekalb and One Clinton Street. FXCollaborative will take up 40,000 square feet when the building is finished. An 87,000-square foot school will also be located on the lower floors.
The project is set to be completed in early 2021.
2 Comments on "One Willoughby Square Begins Ascent Towards 495-Foot Pinnacle in Downtown Brooklyn"
Do you know how difficult it is to change a LIGHT BULB or the SMOKE DETECTOR BATTERY in an 18' high ceiling ? I hope the building will offer this as a free service to residents!


According to a just-completed programmatic audit of the school district, the schools need an additional $1.2 million this fiscal year to be in compliance with the state's Basic Education Plan (BEP).
The report was presented at a special meeting of the School Committee Thursday night. It follows years of reduced funding by the town as well as the second year in a row the district has a structural deficit. The town budget for 2018-2018 gave the schools $612,000, half of what the School Committee requested.
The School Committee approved hiring the law firm Henneous, Carroll, Lombardo LLC, to conduct a programmatic audit in May, to determine just what the district needs to operate within the confines of state law (the BEP).
"This audit confirms what many of us have known for years. Our funding has simply not kept pace with our growing school district. As a result, we have been unable to direct resources to where they are sorely needed. I hope the results of this audit are a wake-up call to our community. We have a precious asset in our town that will begin to deteriorate quickly without the proper investments," said School Committee Chairwoman Caroline Mark.
The district's long-term lack of a curriculum director has been remedied with the hiring in August of Cole Principal Alexis Meyer to the position, but the report found major inadequacies in the area of curriculum.
"The auditors were particularly alarmed by the lack of a district-wide ELA [English language arts] curriculum, which should be the first priority of a curriculum director," the report stated.
School facilities were identified as inadequate for the number of students currently enrolled, much less for the projected increase in students in coming years.
The auditors said the informational technology department is understaffed which "has likely led to numerous IEP violations" because of failing or missing equipment.
Also noted, the need for the district to add two social workers and to refrain from cutting library media specialists (as was done at the high school last year) or nurses. Special education was also targeted as an area rife with underfunding.
Professional development for staff was another area needing to be addressed, according to the report.
Their analysis of the district's labor contracts was in direct contradiction of the assessment from some members of the Town Council, who have said the School Committee negotiated weak contracts.
"There was nothing else the district could do to bring about cost savings under the contract and maintain a competent workforce," the report said of the teachers with similar sentiments regarding the two other labor contracts.
The law firm hired various specialists to examine areas of the school district, including Patricia Dubois, superintendent for Glocester public school, for elementary education; Thomas Kenworthy, assistant superintendent for Portsmouth, in the area of secondary education; Mary King, chief operating officer for North Kingstown schools, for finance; Carol Brown, a long-time special education director, including for East Greenwich, for special education.
So what is the BEP?
RIDE cannot and will not answer that question. Nor will out state constitution guarantee an education for our children?
Mandates YES… BEP.. What is the Basic Education Plan?
Same question being asked in Cumberland for years!

The majority of those moving into East Greenwich do so for the school system. As such, our property values are directly tied to the reputation and performance of our schools. I no longer have children in the school system, but I believe a robust school department benefits us all. I believe the Town Council is being penny wise and pound foolish.


The Mercedes Benz is not your run of the mill car and they never wanted to be, they are about luxury, quality and standing out from the crowd. We have gathered several Mercedes Benz brochures and sales catalogs that displays why they are different from most automobiles. Mercedes Benz has quite an interesting history, but most of all they are responsible for building the first automobile. Karl Benz introduced the world to the Benz Patent Motor Car in the beginning of 1886, which was a three-wheeled vehicle.
Only a few moths later Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach (head Daimler engineer) introduced their four-wheeled automobile powered by a Daimler engine. Then in 1901 Maybach built the first Mercedes for a distributor of Daimler and it was named after his daughter Mercedes. So the name of one of the finest automobiles in the world is named after Mercedes Jellinek. We aren't fortunate enough to have the Mercedes Benz brochures and sales literature of the first cars, but we do have a nice collection.
This German automaker, Mercedes Benz Company was born in 1926 when the companies of Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz merged to form Daimler Benz AG. Mercedes Benz is a division of parent Daimler Benz AG that focused on the automobile and their motto was "The Best or Nothing". Daimler and Mercedes even had an Ultra-Luxury edition, which was Maybach. Take a look at the Mercedes Benz brochures and sales info below and you see the best or nothing show through.
Mercedes Benz was always on the cutting edge when it came to technology and innovation. They set bar that few automakers could match when it came to the quality and luxury of the Mercedes Benz. In 1931 Mercedes Benz introduced the 170 which featured independent suspension which was unheard of that the time. Mercedes Benz created a reputation for the company that was all about the quality and the luxury that was far ahead of the competitors. They introduced the Mercedes Benz models 380 and 540K that featured the ultimate in luxury and quality with state of the art technology that were very successful. The same thing you see in the Mercedes Benz brochures and literature today.
Mercedes Benz introduced the world to what some people called a "Supercar" in 1951 when they released the Mercedes Benz 300 SL "Gullwing" sports car. The 300 SL was like nothing anyone has seen before and collectors are still willing to pay very big money today for one these highly desired Mercedes Benz creations. Not any of the Mercedes Benz brochures of that particular model, but plenty of sales brochures of many other incredible Mercedes Benz cars. They even launched the Mercedes Benz 220 sedan, which was the first automobile to use crumple zones to protect the vehicle occupants from injury.
Mercedes Benz did it again in 1963 when they introduced the world to the Mercedes Benz 600, which was the ultimate luxury vehicle. This amazing automobile was available as both a sedan and a limousine that featured a 300-horsepower V8 engine and air ride suspension. Luxury wasn't enough for Mercedes Benz and they introduced the Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.3, which was not only was luxurious, but it was fast. The MB 300 SEL 6.3 could do 60 MPH in less than 60 seconds. When the 1970s hit Mercedes Benz was on the cutting edge with both technology and luxury. They offered more luxury and features than you could imagine at the time they were they were the first to offer anti-lock brakes. See the Mercedes Benz brochures here for the features that are beyond comparison.
Mercedes Benz continues to tops the charts in not only quality and luxury, but also safety features that have set the mark for a quality automobile. Mercedes was the first to offer airbags and traction control. Safety features that were standard on Mercedes Benz haven't become stand on other vehicles until 25 years later. From the Mercedes Benz 190 E rear link suspension to their partnership with AMG Mercedes Benz continues to build an automobile that can't be rivaled. See the Mercedes Benz brochures and sales pamphlets below and you will see the difference "The Best or Nothing" makes when it comes to automobiles.

"Hey. Did you come from the outside world?"
— talking to Terra.
"To protect the things that matter. You know, like my friends."
— talking to Terra about wanting to protect his friends.
"I really can't. I've gotta keep it a secret."
— talking to Sora about his secret.
"Too slow, Sora! See ya at the finish line!"
— upon Aqua seeing him.
"Somebody up there must be sad."
— while Sora sheds a tear.
"They say every world is connected by one great big sky. So maybe there's somebody up there in all those worlds who's really hurting, and they're waiting for you to help them."
— talking to Sora about the worlds being connected.
"Hmm... Maybe they just need you to open your heart and listen."
— after giving Sora advice.
"You sure you didn't just hear it this time?"
— in a flashback when Sora tells him he saw a "monster".
"All right. Suppose there really is a monster... Think we can beat it by ourselves, Sora?"
— to Sora in a flashback.
"Shh, quiet. We've gotta be careful."
— in a flashback before entering the Secret Place.
"See that? It was just the wind making that noise."
— debunking the "monster".
"A window, or maybe a door? It won't open."

"Giving up already? Come on, Sora. I thought you were stronger than that."
— to Sora.
"So, I guess I'm the only one working on the raft."
— talking about making the raft.
"Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have just as easily ended up somewhere else, right?"
— talking about why they are here.

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix[edit]
"Where...am I? Sora! Kairi!"

— talking to Sora and company in Traverse Town.
"So, this is called a Keyblade?"
— holding Sora's Keyblade.
"But Sora, I thought you liked games. Or are you too cool to play them now that you have the Keyblade?"
— taunting Sora in Monstro.
"Why are you doing all this for me? What's the catch?"
— talking to Maleficent.
"You up for this?"
— before he, Sora and company fight Parasite Cage.

— talking to Sora in Neverland.
"Let's get under way, already. And keep Sora away from Kairi until we're ready to land."
— ordering Captain Hook.
"No vessel, no help from the Heartless... So tell me, how'd you get here?"
— talking to Beast.
"Maleficent was right. You don't have what it takes to save Kairi. It's up to me. Only the Keyblade master can open the secret door...and change the world."
— upon him gaining the keyblade.
"Really... Well, we'll just see about that!"
— before he tries to hit Sora in Hollow Bastion.
"Your heart? What good will that weak little thing do for you?"
— before fighting Sora.
"What? You're saying my heart's weaker than his?"

"You've got to run! The Heartless are coming!"
— warning Kairi, Donald, and Goofy before Ansem completely takes over his body.
"Sora... Kairi... I'm sorry... Is this the afterworld?"
— regretting relying on darkness, working for villains, and almost killing Sora and Kairi.
"I'm not ready. Not yet. Not until I see Sora and Kairi one last time..."
— in the realm of darkness.
"Who are you? What's happened to me?"
— to Mickey.
"Fate, huh? You seem to know everything, don't you? Then tell me: Are Sora and Kairi okay?"
"Don't give up! Come on, Sora! Together, we can do it!"
— trying to close the Door to Darkness.
"Take care of her."
— before closing the door.
Reverse/Rebirth[edit]
"Ungh... Where...where am I..."
— upon starting.
"The king! Where's the king?! Together we closed the door to darkness, and after that... Grr, why can't I remember?"
— about Mickey.
"You talk like I'm some kind of demon of the dark."
— to DiZ.
"Yeah, well... Seems like a boring place to take a nap anyway."
"Ordinarily? Hey, I'm asking you a question! Fine. But it'd better be you I run across next, Voice. I'm sick of talking to thin air."
"This is Maleficent's castle! How'd I end up HERE? Someone must have brought me here while I was sleeping. But who?"
— upon arriving in Hollow Bastion.
"No one here, either... There's nothing but Heartless in this castle. Voice! I know you're watching—so explain this. Where are the people from my memories? Tell me!"
"You're full of it! I rejected the darkness!"
"Of all the people I could run into, it had to be you..."
"There was a time I did want you around. I surrendered my heart to the dark. But never again. You and your darkness have nothing to offer. All I did was lose myself... Empty myself! I'm finished with all that. If I'm stuck seeing people like you, people of the dark...I'll take you out one by one."
— to Maleficent.
"That's fine with me. I turned to darkness because my heart was weak. I hate that weakness. It's like I'm my own enemy. And seeing people like you embrace the darkness just makes it worse! Enough talk, Maleficent."
— before battling Dragon Maleficent.
"You always were chatty when it came to darkness. So let me guess... You want to pull me back into the darkness and play puppet master again...right?"
— talking to "Xehanort's Heartless".
"That voice...! Your Majesty, is that you?!"
— upon Mickey appearing before him.
"I will. Hear that? I'm not losing to the darkness today, Ansem."
"Who's running? Give me the cards. I'll enter those worlds. And in the end, if I haven't given up...I win."
"Something...tastes kind of funny... What is it? It's so familiar... Darkness. The taste of darkness. What's happened to me... The darkness even seeps into my senses."
— sensing darkness.
"You're...an illusion? My hand passes right through you."
— before Mickey disappears.
"Maybe we do... But so what! Is that an invitation to join your club? Yeah, there's darkness inside me, just like you said. But darkness is my enemy! And you are, too, for making everything around here reek of it!"
— before battling Vexen.
"What the... What are you supposed to be?"
— upon meeting Riku Replica.
"Are you calling me a coward?"
— before battling Riku Replica.
"Hey, FAKE. I thought you were gonna wipe the floor with me."
— to Riku Replica.
"Sorry, you missed your chance. I'm finishing you first, right here!"
"Oh, I get it. You think I'll stop fighting the darkness just to prove I'm not afraid of it. Nice try. But I'm gonna keep fighting."
— before "Xehanort's Heartless" gives him more cards.
"Just one card left. If I get through this, can I finally rid myself of the dark?"
— to himself.
"That scent... You're another "nobody.""
— upon meeting Lexeaus.
"Huff...huff... What's wrong...Lexaeus... Is that all...darkness can do?"
— after battling Lexeaus.
"No, it can't be... Darkness this foul could only belong to one person..."
— about Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
"Unnh... The king...protected me? Your Majesty, where are you? Please answer! You're with me...aren't you..."
— after Mickey saves him from Xehanort's Heartless.
"Huh? The air has changed... One of the scents has died—a really strong one."
— sensing Marluxia's defeat.
"Keyblade master... You mean Sora! Sora is here?!"
— to Zexion.
"I never thought I'd miss the island winds so much... Funny—there was a time I couldn't wait to get off this rock. And now I'm acting all relieved. Is that...? Hey! What's with you guys? I don't think I've EVER seen the three of you so quiet. What, is there something on my face? Guys?!"
— upon arriving in Destiny Islands and seeing Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka before they disappear.
"Kairi... Hey, Kairi. Don't tell me you— Ah... No, no, NO!"
— to Kairi disappearing.
"That's a lie! I remember everyone from the islands! Tidus and Selphie and Wakka... Kairi and Sora, too! They're my...my... They're my friends..."
— talking to Zexion.
"Sora?! Stop it, Sora! Don't you recognize me?"
— to "Sora".
"I'm...fading... Consumed by the light..."
— to himself after being enveloped in light by Zexion.
"—and I'll be able to see through the brightest light..."
— to Naminé in the form of Kairi.
"You know I do. And I will! The darkness—MY darkness—will show me the way! Darkness, awaken!"
— accepting his darkness.
"You reek of the dark. Even the light can't block out the smell. I followed the darkness right to you."
"Ha ha, this time you're real. No illusions. I'm so glad you came!"
— talking to Mickey.
"Don't worry, I'm okay. Just really relieved, that's all. I've been alone so long that having someone else around is a little...overwhelming. But how did you get here, Your Majesty? I thought you were really far away."
"Where am I now? I don't remember this place. Your Majesty, do you know where we are? Your Majesty?"
— arriving in Twilight Town.
"You're not Ansem. Your scent—it's different. The Ansem in my heart smells darker, more foul. But not you. It's not darkness I smell, it's...something else. I know. You're the one who guided me when this all started. You pretended to be Ansem and gave me the card, to make me face the darkness."
"It'll go somewhere. Probably the same place my heart will go."
— before Riku Replica vanishes.
"Hey! It's Sora! What did you do to him?"
— talking to Naminé about Sora.
"I see... Sora chose to forget about this castle and get back his old memories."
— to Naminé.
"And what happens to me if I let you do that? Will I forget everything, like Sora? I will, won't I..."
"Sora looks like he hasn't got a care in the world. Will I sleep that well?"
"Sora always did as he pleased. It doesn't matter what we were doing—he'd still go off and leave me with all the work. Take the raft we were gonna use to leave the islands. That was all me. I've made up my mind. When this slacker wakes up, I'm gonna tell him off good. I told him to take care of Kairi, and here he is taking a nap! But I can't chew him out if I've been sleeping, too. Keep your lock. I'd rather just finish Ansem off once and for all."
"I'll make that darkness show me the way."
"So that's why you came to me in the light. As Kairi."
"I knew as soon as I met you. Somehow you...smell the same. Look after Sora."
— before leaving Twilight Town.
"Boy, you really like pushing decisions on other people."
— talking to DiZ.
"I'm glad you said that...but I have to face Ansem alone."
"There's no point in doing this if I can't do it on my own. But I have a favor to ask. If Ansem wins, he's going to enslave me. If that happens, I want you to destr—"
"Huh? You're not listening. I want you to destroy Ansem and me with—"
"It's my choice to believe or not. I know you'd never let me down, Your Majesty."
"Come on out, Ansem. I can smell you."
— to Xehanort's Heartless.
"Wrong. The truth is... You just really stink."
"Oh, I do. I used all the power you had to give and still lost to Sora. I'm not impressed."
— before battling Xehanort's Heartless.
"Ansem! You're finished!"
"I don't know if I can. It's still there. His scent...it's faint, but not gone. I can't go home until it is. His darkness may still have a hold on me..."
— talking to Mickey at Castle Oblivion entrance.
"Wow, Your Majesty, I don't know what to say... Thanks."
"What are you making me choose now?"
"Neither. I'm taking the middle road."
"No... The road to dawn."
— during Reverse/Rebirth ending.
Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories[edit]
"This seemed like a boring place to take a nap anyway."
— resolving to investigate Castle Oblivion.
"A door to the truth, huh?"
"I thought it was you, Ansem."
— after Ansem reveals himself.
"All you have been talking about is the darkness. I can only assume you wanna pull me back in... so you can play Puppet Master."
"Excuse me... for being weak."
"That's not gonna happen!"
"I won't lose to darkness. Not today."
"What, that all you got?"
"Don't worry, I'm not running. Give it. I'll enter the world and in the end, if I haven't given into the darkness... then I win."
"Something smells... funny... What's that scent? It's so familiar... Darkness. It's the smell of darkness. I can't believe this is happening. The darkness even seeped into my skin."
"Are you with Ansem?!"
"Riddles were never my thing. Try again."
"Like you said, there really is darkness left inside of me. But so what?! Darkness is my enemy! And so are you for reeking of that awful smell!"
"It was a trick all along."
"Huh? What are you supposed to be?"
— confronting his replica.
"So you're a fake me."
"Are you... calling me a coward?"
"Hey, Fake! I thought I heard you say you were gonna wipe the floor with me."
"Then let's fight now!"
"No way. I'm not a coward."
"Come out! Show yourself, Fake!"
"What are you saying? Isn't he just a copy of me?"
"When have I been afraid of the dark?"
"Be quiet!"
"Just one card left. If I get through this, will I be free of the darkness?"
"That scent. You're another one of those Nobodies."
"I do not... fear it!"
— denying Lexaeus's claims.
"You're finished!"
"Too slow."
"Lexeaus?!"
"Your Majesty!"
"You're with me, aren't you?"
"One of the scents has died— a really strong one."
— noticing Marluxia's death.
"Keyblade... You mean Sora. Sora is here?"
— realizing that Sora is inside the Castle.
"What's that mean?"
"This card. This is our..."
"Stop it, Sora! Don't you recognize me?!"
— attacked by "Sora".
"You reek of darkness. Even the light can't block the smell."
— explaining how he was able to recognize Zexion.
"I guess I followed the darkness right to you."
"I know who I am."
"Can't move."
"Your Majesty, it that you?"
"This time, you're not an illusion. I'm so glad that you could make it here."
"But how did you get here? I thought it was too far."
"Are you Naminé?"
"Sora! What have you done to Sora?"
— upon seeing a sleeping Sora.
"So Sora chose to forget about this castle...and get his old memories back?"
"Why me, too? No one's messed with my memories."
"That's it. When this slacker wakes up, I'll tell him off. I told him to take care of Kairi, and here he is just taking a nap! But I can't chew him out like he deserves— if I've been asleep."
"I don't need my heart locked. I'm ready— I'm gonna fight Ansem."
"I knew when I met you. You and Kairi smell the same. Look after Sora."
"Your face... Who are you really? And why do you have a Keyblade?"
— to Xion.
"To make sure my best friend...sleeps in peace. I don't know who you're supposed to be. But...you can't fight fire with sparks. This Keyblade, it's a sham—worthless."
"Find a new crowd. Trust me. Those guys are bad news."
"Fair enough. You could say I am...the biggest nobody of them all."
"You made me a promise."
— talking to Naminé.
"You can't get the memories back out?"
— talking about Sora's memories.
"So what's the solution?"
"Riku. Sora's friend."
— introducing himself to Xion.
"I guess...I just felt like it."
"You mean Kairi."
"To Sora, she's someone very special."
— talking to Xion about Kairi.
"That secret stays with me."
— to Xion about Sora's location.
"Xion...your memories...they really belong to Sora."
"When his memories were scattered, some of them...found their way inside you. Now, Sora has been put to sleep so that we can piece together his memory. Except..."
— talking to Xion about Sora's memories.
"Yeah. You got it. But, if you go with me to Sora right now, we could give the memories inside you back to him."
"Nah. I guess...I'm just sad."
"Maybe...you should take some time and think about it. Figure out who really needs you more. And where you belong."
"Well, the answer you come up with can't just be right for you. It has to be one that works best for everybody. You and your friends and everyone else."
— before leaving Xion.
"You want to go back?"
"Did you find the right answer?"
"Go to Twilight Town. You'll find a girl there by the name of Naminé."
— talking to Xion about going to Naminé.
"You'll find out. I don't think you'll have much trouble tracking her down."
"Searching, for a way to conquer the darkness within me—while we wait for Sora to awaken."
"You don't have to worry. I'm getting the hang of keeping the darkness under control."
— talking to Mickey about his darkness.
"There's a reason the Organization has been quiet since our battle at Castle Oblivion—and it's not because we weakened their numbers. What they did to Sora back there—the point wasn't just to take his memory apart. They went out of their way to make it hard to put back together."
"Exactly. They want Sora's memories...which means Naminé isn't the only one picking up the pieces. And as long as they've got their hands on Sora's most precious memories—the ones of Kairi—I don't think Sora will recover."
"I've got that covered, Your Maj— I mean, Mickey. Maybe you could do me a favor, though."
"I have to face one of the Organization's members soon. I might not survive the fight. And if I do, it might only be because I gave in to the darkness. That means you're the only one who will be there for Sora, Donald, and Goofy—the only one who can guide them when they awaken."
— wanting to give a promise to Mickey.
"Promise me, Mickey. You have to be there for our friends."
"What does it matter? I'm here for you."
— to Roxas.
"Because I want back the rest of Sora's memories."
— talking to Roxas.
"Do you have some kind of plan?"
"Her? You mean Xion? It's a struggle just to remember the name now, isn't it? Either way, I can't let you go doing anything crazy."
"If you try and make contact with Kingdom Hearts, the last thing you'll get is your life back. The Organization will destroy you."
— before fighting Roxas.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX[edit]
"Isn't there a way to bring back just Sora's memories?"
"Did you find the answer?"
"Go to Twilight Town. You'll find a girl there named Naminé."
"You'll find out. I don't think you'll have trouble finding her."
"I've been...searching for a way to conquer the darkness within me while we wait for Sora to awaken."
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm getting the hang of keeping the darkness under control."
"There's a reason the Organization's been quiet since our battle at Castle Oblivion. And now I know it's not because a depletion in members had made them weak. Taking Sora's memory apart piece by piece was only the first step in what they were trying to do at Castle Oblivion. And I think they needed more time to fix his memory."
"Right. Sora's memories are what they're after. And they needed all this time until now to absorb every piece of it. The process of putting his memory back together has gone nowhere... They have what's most precious to Sora...his memories of Kairi."
"I've got that covered, Your Maj— I mean, Mickey. Instead, I want to ask you for a favor."
"I have to face one of the Organization's members soon. I might not survive the fight. And if I do, it might be because I gave in to the darkness. That means you're the only one who will be there for Sora, Donald, and Goofy—the only one who can guide them when they awaken."
"Promise me, Mickey. When our friends wake up, you have to be there to help them out."
"You mean Xion? It's a struggle just to remember the name now... Either way, I can't let you go doing anything crazy."
"Why!? Why do you have the Keyblade?"
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix[edit]
"Come on, Sora. I thought you were stronger than that."
"So it's true. You really are his Nobody. Guess DiZ was right after all."
— after Roxas' sudden outburst.
"All right. You've left me with no other choice. I have to release the power in my heart. The dark power that I've been holding back. Even...if it changes me forever."
— before releasing his darkness and fighting Roxas once more.

"Have you forgotten? I'll tell you why. 'Cause I'm not a total sap like you."
"We must defeat Xemnas. He's the Organization's last survivor. C'mon."
— talking about defeating Xemnas.
"It's because of who's lurking inside it."
— talking to Xemnas.
"Sora, answer me!"
— after Sora fights Xemnas.
"Once we go through, there's no turning back. It's victory...or oblivion. So, Sora...are you ready? Do you remember before? We stood facing each other on opposite sides of that door. Now we stand side-by-side. Let's go home together this time."
— after the door appears.
"I had given in to the darkness."
— after Xemnas vanishes.
"Don't worry. You're all still you."
— after Roxas goes into Sora.
"Don't worry, we'll make that happen. Once this is over, you can thank her all you want."
— talking to Sora about Naminé before the final battle.
"You're right, light and darkness are eternal. Nothing probably goes on forever, too. But guess what, Xemnas?"
— during the final battle with Xemnas.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that."
— upon Xemnas' defeat.
"You know... I always figured I was better at stuff than you."
— while he and Sora walks in nothingness.
"This world is perfect for me. If this is what the world really is...just this, then maybe I should fade back into darkness."
— arriving in Dark Margin.
"If the world is made of light and darkness... We'll be the darkness."
— to Sora at the Dark Margin.
"What I said back there...about thinking I was better at stuff than you... To tell you the truth, Sora... I was jealous of you."
— talking to Sora about being jealous of him.
"Sora? I think it's for you."
— before giving Sora Kairi's message.
"Yeah. It's always closer than you think."
— talking about the Door to Light.
"I am like the Sora that stands with you. Strictly speaking, I am data in the form of Riku."
— upon meeting Sora.
"But, because of these bugs, I could not complete the restoration. Out of all available memories, I was selected to be a vessel to hold them all together."
— talking about himself.
"It's no use. The path connecting the data to reality has been taken away."
— while typing.
"You must be at Olympus Colosseum... There should be corruption in that world, too. First, look for the keyhole."
— talking to Sora in Olympus Coliseum.
"Because I wanted you to grow a little. "We must return to free them from their torment." To solve the mystery behind those words, this world needed a keyblade, and a wielder with power."
— talking about the message.
"The worlds... I won't let you have them!"
"Sora! Don't come any closer! Argh...!"
— upon him being transformed.
"Ugh... Defeat..."
— before Sora battles him.
"To be precise, I'm the last of my consciousness, partitioned off from the rest of my data. It looks like the bugs inside me stole your power away from you. The bugs have already infiltrated this part of me. Take this and get out of here right away."
"You should take care of your power, first. Leave the source of the bugs until you finish getting it back. The bugs are corrupting everything. Take care of yourself."
— before Sora goes through the worlds in his memories.
"Sora! Thank you. I'll see you on the other side."
— before Sora leaves his data.
"As promised, the path to the real world has opened. You can go home to the real world, Mickey."
— talking to Mickey about going back to the real world.
"Can everybody hear me? It looks like you made it home safely."
— upon Mickey and the others have come back from the real world.
"Right. Everything you recorded during the first journey is back. Everything else... will be reset. That means, everything we did to fight off the bugs... The memories that Sora and I made in this world of data... All of that will be erased."
— talking about all the data.
"Yeah. I figured out the truth behind the bugs. This thing is the shadow of your existence... Sora, this is your Heartless."
— talking about Sora's Heartless.
"No, they were devoured by this thing! This monster drew all the Heartless you defeated into Darkness. It devoured the Darkness data and it's trying to change itself into something new. Just like you did, getting stronger as you made your way on this journey."
— before Sora faces his Heartless.
"I'm counting on you, Sora."
— before disappearing before Sora.
Main Article: Quotes: Data-Riku
"This world has been connected. Memory and reality now stand tied. And now it's time you learned the truth."
— meeting Data-Sora in Wonderland.
"Sorry. Not quite. Much like Sora there. I'm just zero's and ones that look like somebody you know."
— revealing himself to Data-Sora, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy.
"Memories used to fill Jiminy's Journal--but when they were pulled apart and then stitched back together, bugs appeared. It was these bugs... that kept the book from being completely restored. Of all the possible vessels to protect the data, I was chosen from the journal's pages. The full set of memories was transferred inside of me, to shield them from corruption. So, in a way, what I really am is Jiminy's journal."
"Well, don't expect them to stay that way. One of the bugs interfering with the link is in Olympus Coliseum--I'm sure of it. And you know where it'll be hiding. Find the Keyhole. If my findings are right, that'll take you to the world's core. Get rid of whatever's harming the core and the rest of the bugs will be purged with it."
"Bug spray. Hang on, Sora. Did you know you have access privileges to worlds you've already debugged?"
"Basically, yes. Technically, no. You'd be accessing an emulated version of the world's data. The emulator gives you some degree of control over the data. For example, you could start the whole experience over from scratch."
"I know, why fight the same enemies again? But what if I told you you might find some new adversaries? You did a good job repairing the worlds, but there may still be bugs lurking in the system sectors."
"All right, that's your cue. Go save the world, hero."
"Right. Those scenes--they originated inside my mind. When you got rid of the bugs, you gave me deeper access to the memories associated with those worlds. The things I saw must have found their way back through the link and showed up on your monitor."
— explaining the appearance of the images.
"Blank Points"[edit]
"Sora. Your mind's made up?"
— asking Sora about the letter.
"Am I in...Traverse Town? My clothes have changed. Sora, where are you?"
— when Riku arrives in the Third District.
"I remember we fell overboard after Ursula attacked...and then I think we opened a Keyhole. So...this must be one of the Sleeping Worlds. My Keyblade--it just sort of...popped into my hand when I needed it most. Right. It's started."
— looking upon the Third District and remembering what happened.
"Kn-knight? You've got the wrong idea."
— reaction from Shiki's "flirting".
"Are you sure that's what's stopping you? Because I think something else is holding you back. Ask your heart, Quasimodo. I'll check the edge of town. Thanks."
— after meeting Quasimodo.
"Wish I could take my own advice..."
— while leaving the Cathedral, after talking to Quasimodo.
"Oh, like this is fair... No use, I gotta run for it."
"He won't listen. Once you've fallen that far, there's almost no coming back."
— talking to Captain Pheobus while they're seeing Frollo use his darkness to command the Wargoyle Nightmare.
"You should take it easy. I'll deal with Frollo."
— volunteering to go after Frollo and his monster.
"Quasimodo, where did the creature go?"
— asking Quasimodo about the Wargoyle's location.
"Quasimodo, did your heart have the answer?"
— asking Quasimodo if he found his answer.
"I guess... you three got this covered."
— seeing Victor, Hugo, and Laverne defeat a Meow Wow Nightmare.
"I see a sad old man with a dark heart."
— upon seeing Frollo marvel the flames on the city.
"You could write a book about that!"
— responding to Ansem's rhetoric about darkness at the top of Notre Dame.
"You're Ansem! Why are you here?"
— talking to Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
"I walk the road to dawn!"
— making his decision clear.
"He thinks I'm afraid of the dark?! No. Not while I have the Keyblade. It'll guide me to the light!"
— thinking about Young Xehanort's words and the Keyblade.
"I know the road my heart walks."
— as he thinks about Ansem (Master Xehanort's Heartless) before unlocking La Cite des Cloches' sleeping keyhole.
"That was my... my dark side. I gave in to the darkness once. And ever since, it's chased me around in one form or another. The Seeker of Darkness who stole my body... a puppet replica of the shadows in my heart... and now, I'm facing me."
— explaining to Jiminy after meeting Dark Riku how his darkness keeps comes back to him.
"That stupid grin he's always wearing— he's the best teacher I could ever have."
— answering Jiminy's question about having a friend to talk to whenever he has a problem he shouldn't have to face alone.
"What now? Is something in there? Pinocchio, Jiminy, you should head back. I'll see what's shaking things up."
— upon hearing a loud roar coming from within Monstro.
"I thought I was only sent to the past on Destiny Islands. So why does it seem like time was rewound in this world too? Maybe it's like Master Yen Sid said: the world was freed from darkness but has yet to wake from it. It's trapped in a never ending dream."
— remembering what Master Yen Sid said about time flow in the Sleeping Realm as he sees Pinocchio reunited with Geppetto before awakening Prankster's Paradise.
"My clothes... Is this world special? A Dream Eater? No... Let's see how this plays out."
— upon entering The Grid.
"You gonna explain why it's so lucky?"
— being given a Light Cycle rod.
"How hard can it be?"
— before activating his Light Cycle.
"I think I've had enough entertainment for one day."
— deciding to take his leave.
"Glad I get to fight more than boredom."
— when Grid-type Nightmares pop up.
"So what happened... to your gift?"
— asking Kevin Flynn about the ISOs.
"Look too hard for one thing, and you miss everything else. And then, the people around you get hurt in the process. Like Xehanort. His single-minded thirst for answers created Ansem. We all have a little of that curiosity within us... So if we're not careful, any one of us could create an Ansem."
— analyzing Kevin Flynn's situation with Master Xehanort's.
"If this is a father-son thing, I won't butt in. But we should probably get back that disc back at least— before CLU uses it to destroy the outside world."
— deciding what should be best for the team to do.
"You can leave this one to me."
— deciding to go up against the Commantis Nightmare.
"Don't even think about it!"
— preventing CLU from getting to the Portal.
"These gates that connect worlds— maybe when we pass through them, we're challenged and changed. And it's not over. There are still more challenges that we have to overcome. But we'll be ready, Sora."
— before unlocking The Grid's sleeping keyhole.
"So time flows differently here and there? So what? That's true to any two worlds. Their home world would be flowing on a different time axis, too."
— analyzing how time flows in the two sleeping Traverse Towns.
"You mean there's a past... and a future?"
— when Joshua says the two Traverse Town are not parallel worlds.
"Beat, what happened to your Dream Eaters?"
— realizing Beat's Spirits are gone.
"Sorry, it's just... you two are cut from the same cloth."
— after laughing at how Beat and Rhyme argue.
"Yeah. He's come through for me, so I know what you mean."
— describing Beat's personality.
"All right, now we ruffled its feathers. Ready to do this?"
— once the Spellican is annoyed by their good humor.
"Isn't that Pete? What kind of world did I end up in this time? Well, one thing's for sure: that guy adds up to trouble in any world."
— when he sees Pete looking out in front of the Opera House entrance and wonders where he is and what he's up to.
"Is that suppose to be Mickey and the others? Yeesh. Those three are together even when they're made out of wood."
—upon seeing the Beagle Boys carrying wooden cutouts of Mickey, Donald and Goofy in Country of the Musketeers.
"How do you like that?"
"Looks like I was right in the nick of time...Sora."
"Musketeer? What is that, anyway?"
"They...they actually say that?"
"You're right. And it does fit the moment."
"All for one...and one for all."
"If brute force won't work, tell me what will."
"I'll try. Leave it to me."
"You waiting for me?"
"Maybe so. But I'm here to change all of that."
"If you're feeling so chatty, let's skip to where you reveal what this is all about."
"Sora can find the brightest part of anything, and pull off miracles like there's nothing to it. It's pretty hard not to smile around him."
"Where am I now? Why am I here? I unlocked all seven Keyholes--so I should be back in the world I came from."
"Is that... Sora? Sora! Don't! You've gotta wake up! Sora!"
"Are you what's trapping him in that nightmare? 'Cause if you are... I'm what nightmares fear!"
"Sora, don't chase the dreams. They'll lead you nowhere, just to an abyss you'll never be able to wake up from."
— when trying to awake Sora in The World That Never Was.
"What? What's going on in Sora's world? Why won't he open his eyes? Is he still in the nightmare?"
"Sora would never give in to the darkness!"
"Me? I'm a Dream Eater?"
"Ansem. Or...Xehanort. You used to be a Keyblade wielder. But darkness stole your heart, and the Keyblade with it. Don't you see? That's half the reason I'm even on this journey. After allowing darkness into my heart, am I still fit to wield the Keyblade?"
— explaining to Ansem why he decided to take the Mark of Mastery exam.
"After allowing darkness into my heart, am I still fit to wield the Keyblade? Even after locking you away, here you are, haunting me again. So I get it now. There's no point in trying to hold the darkness back."
"You know...when I look at you...there's this memory that flashes back. A secret I said I'd keep when I was little. The main reason I kept dreaming about the outside world...was 'cause of him."
— explaining to Ansem why he dreamed about leaving the islands.
"My journey begins here and now. I'm going back to the real world, and then to Sora's side."
— deciding what he will do next to get to Sora.
"I know the way. Consume the darkness, return it to light."
— When asked by Ansem if he knows the way to save Sora.
"Ansem! You're part of my heart now. Part of the light!"
— Before the second battle with Ansem.
"Strength, to protect what matters."
— after defeating Ansem.
"This place... Did I finally make out of the dream?"
— as he appears in front of Memory's Skyscraper.
"Sora and I have been split up since the start of our journey, because Ansem - no, because Xehanort planned it. And that means we're a long way off course from the Mark of Mastery exam Yen Sid gave us."
— analyzing the situation of Master Xehanort's plan and the Mark of Mastery Exam.
"All right, Sora has gotta be here...somewhere."
— deciding to go look for Sora as he heads to the Brink of Despair.
"End of the road, huh? I know I'm back in the real world, but I still have my Dream Eater powers. Which means...he still hasn't woken up. Where are you, Sora?"
— upon reaching the Brink of Despair.
"A Dream Eater! Is that where Sora is? How do I get across?"
— upon seeing Sora's Meow Wow.
"Right. I get it."
— petting his Komory Bat for coming up with an excellent idea with Sora's Meow Wow.
"But you failed. Sora stopped you in your tracks on both counts."
— reminding Master Xehanort of how Sora foiled his plans.
"Why are you here, Axel?"
"Mickey... I really appreciate it. But...I'll go wake Sora up. Look at his face. Sleeping like nothing's wrong—like there's nothing to even worry about. (Sighs) He's always been like that. The three of us would agree to work on the raft, and then this guy would go take a nap on the beach. You see, it's my job to keep him on his toes. Besides, what kind of Keyblade Master sleeps through his test? I'm doing it for me, too. Sora saved me once. And...I heard him call my name. He needs me."
— watching Sora sleep after rescuing him from The World That Never Was with Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Lea.
"Guys, thank you. Sora and I will be back soon."
— before departing for Sora's dreams again.
"I'll find you, Sora."
"DiZ! I mean... Ansem the Wise. What are you doing here?"
"Uh...I kinda need to wake Sora up."
"You mean...the Sora wrapped in that black phantom?"
"Wait, haven't we got this backwards? And why are you having a tea party?"
"Really? I'm a Keyblade Master?"
"Master Yen Sid. I brought you the guest you asked for, but... you never said why."
— upon bringing an unexpected visitor to Yen Sid's chamber.
Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep: -A fragmentary passage-[edit]
"She sacrificed herself to save me? Why did you keep it from me for so long?"
— asking Mickey why he kept Aqua's fate a secret.
"What about us? You could've given us a choice. We could have gone and helped her."
— talking to Mickey about helping Aqua.
"Why keep it secret?"
— talking to Yen Sid.
"Yeah! Count me in!"
— volunteering to help Mickey find Aqua.
"New me?"
— talking to Kairi.
"Should I be flattered? I try too hard to be the role model. It's more fun to just listen to my heart. Which is Sora-esque."
— describing his new personality.
"Thank you, Master."
— when Yen Sid gives Mickey and Riku new clothes.
"No, just... I've been here. I should know this place. But that all seems like another life."
— to Mickey in the Dark World.
"I remember my first time here. I was so scared. But now, my doubts and fears are gone. If anything, I feel exhilarated. And it's not because there's darkness in me—I know too well what that rush is like. This is different. And it's not adrenaline either. I know Aqua needs us...but I'm ready. I'm in control now. Maybe it's because you're with me this time."
"Is that it? "Strength to protect what matters"... It reminds me of a promise I made."
"Yeah... While we're reminiscing—Mickey, does any of this look familiar?"
"I've been here, too. With Sora. This is where we found our way back to the realm of light. Hey, maybe Aqua did, too!"
— to Mickey at the Dark Margin.
"Because somebody needs me."
"But Aqua's...still down here, alone. Facing enemies like that. What if she's feeling as scared and alone...as I felt the first time I came here? How long are we supposed to keep her waiting in this awful place?"
"Okay... Good. Then I guess she's gonna be all right. Sora could fall into any darkness and swim his way out."
"Right. Can't use this Keyblade anymore. Might as well leave it here...for the other me."
— leaving the broken Way to the Dawn to Riku Replica.
"We know Master Aqua made it as far as the beach that Sora and I once visited, but that's where her trail ends."
— to Sora and the others.
"No. Sora was dragged into the abyss during his exam. And I went in after him. So, I think if we find someone who was really close to Aqua, and they make the dive, they could reach her down there."
"So Aqua—she's gonna be the key to finding all three."
— about Aqua, Ventus, and Terra.
"Where Aqua fell into the realm of darkness after she dove in to save Terra."
— to Mickey at Radiant Garden.
"Right. And in the aftermath, the two of them disappeared. Around the same time, the guards found a stranger with white hair lying unconscious here in the square—a man calling himself "Xehanort.""
— to Mickey about Terra-Xehanort.
"Until we put an end to the Organization. But all the while Young Xehanort had been visiting the future to choose thirteen vessels of his own—hearts with strong enough ties to him to begin a new Organization, the real Organization XIII. And now they're looking for a fight with us. But what happened to Terra? I thought you said that Aqua saved him."
"No way! That was Terra? Master Xehanort was using Terra?"
"Okay, but Master Xehanort is an old man again now. Where did Terra's body go?"
"He's with Organization XIII? We should warn Sora."
— to Mickey about Terra.
"Replicas... Well, replicas are basically human."
"Oh, yeah... You wouldn't remember. The previous Organization XIII developed "replicas": realistic vessels to place hearts in. They're so real, in fact, that you'd actually mistake them for people. And with hearts, the replicas will become people."
"Yup. The replica takes the form of the heart inside it."
"Nope, that's their best quality."
— to Mickey about Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
"But not everyone's. What if Even was taken?"
— to Ienzo and Mickey.
"To fill out their ranks."
— about the Organization.
"Maybe, except Aqua's the only who knows where he's hidden. We still have to find her first."
— about Aqua and Ventus.
"Sorry. Master Yen Sid knows you a little too well. He said you'd try to stage a half-baked rescue."
"Sora, I know you're volunteering because you're worried—about me and Mickey. Well, thanks. But, the power of waking's important. You can come to the rescue once you've got that. Sound fair?"
"There's no need. Got my own."
— to Anti-Aqua about her misery and despair.
"You're in the realm of light."
— to Aqua.
"Mickey told me that you saved me in the realm of darkness. I should have gone to help you right away. But I was too inexperienced. I'm sorry. I know that I let you down."
"Since when do you mope, Sora? Come on. Terra's gotta be with the Organization. Which means we'll have a chance to save him."
"You did save me. I think you came along for a reason."
"Take the time you need."
"Pull it together, Sora! We haven't lost them. They still have their hearts. But we have to protect them."
"Sora, you don't believe that. I know you don't."
"Wrong. My hour of weakness."
— to Dark Riku.
"If you try to use time magic against these numbers, you won't have enough strength for the final battle."
"It'd be wasted on you."
— to Xigbar about Master Xehanort's Keyblade.
"Huh? Aren't you my past self? From when Ansem possessed me?"
"Hey! What are you doing? Take the vessel!"
"Naminé. You're saving her."
"Yeah. Wish we could help her now. But first..."
— to Sora about Naminé.
"I'm going after Ansem."
Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind[edit]
"I'll be back...after all of this is over."
— to the empty vessel.
"You're...the Organization!"
— to Demyx.
"That's not just an empty vessel. It's filled with important memories. Promise me—you'll be careful with it. Deliver it safely, okay?"
"If you do summon Kingdom Hearts, we will defeat you, and we will close it again."
— to Master Xehanort.
"You know, it's strange. I think I'm gonna miss you."
— to Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
"Xehanort!!!"
— going after Master Xehanort.
"It's Xehanort. During the Mark of Mastery exam, we learned that he can transcend space and time. He's a portal. And we can use that to trap him."
— to the guardians of light.
"We all need to trust Sora."
— to the guardians of light, holding Kingdom Hearts back.
"Yeah...we can do this! Let's go!"
— fighting the Replica Xehanorts.
"They were, but as long as they're together, they'll be all right."
— about Sora and Kairi.
"Kingdom Hearts is closing on the other side. But we managed to follow our hearts to you."
"We'll find Kairi. Let's head back to Master Yen Sid. We can figure it out."
"Let him go, Mickey. His heart and his mind are made up. Now, believe in him."
"Thanks. I finally fulfilled my promise to you."
— to Terra.
"But we've been searching everywhere for Sora, and we haven't found a single clue. If he's really out there, don't you think we would have found something by now?"
— to the Radiant Garden Reconstruction Committee.
"Well...it's outside their field of expertise."
— to Leon about Ansem the Wise and his apprentices.
"Well, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are searching for clues in every past world that Sora's been to. Terra, Ven, and Aqua went to the realm of darkness. And the Twilight Town gang are studying Roxas and Xion's memories."
"Kairi... She believes her heart might hold a clue about Sora. For a year, she's been sound asleep while they search her heart."
"Huh? My...dreams? There's one... It was dark...and I was surrounded by tall buildings. I was looking around for Sora, when I felt someone watching me from way up high. And that's all I remember."
— to the Fairy Godmother.
Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory[edit]
"Kairi! You woke up!"
— to Kairi.
"Well, actually I found some info about Sora."
"She came here at Yen Sid's request. He said she's got a clue that might help us find Sora."
— about the Fairy Godmother.
"Oh, well since Sora disappeared, I've been having dreams about a large city with tall buildings. Apparently, that's the clue."
— to Kairi and the others.
"Um, so she's the final key?"
— to the Fairy Godmother about the Nameless Star.
"I want to help make that happen. Will it lead us to Sora?"
"Yeah. Sora disappeared. He's a good friend of ours, so we've been looking for him. Right now, we think he's in a big city full of tall buildings. Ring any bells?"
— to the Nameless Star.
"Quadratum... Is that where Sora is?"
Battle Quotes[edit]
"Don't tell me you're giving up already!"
— taunting.
"Heh, you still don't got it..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Come on!"
— after flipping back to his feet.
"My turn!"
— countering.

Q: Cloudify Composer - Resizing/Rearrange nodes or components boxes' size Question
Is it possible to change nodes highness and width in Cloudify Composer ?
Context
I am currently trying to describe a (future) application, in TOSCA, using Cloudify.
This model is used in a designing process, therefore I have different environments (dev, qual, prod …) which have nested into them physical clusters of machines, which hosts different software components and so on.
The problem is the display in the Cloudify – Composer, as of now I am not able to change the nodes layout and therefore nested components are side to side. Due to hugh amount of components is it not easily readable.
I have tried to tweak the info.yaml in the Resources tab, but it does not seem to bring change.
Hence my need to custom those boxes and the components layout (Windows Visio's style).
Ad-hoc
If there is no solution currently implemented, how is it possible to check if such feature is going to develop (or not) ?
Many thanks,
L.

A: It seems that Composer does have an info.yaml file, that you can edit in the "Resources" tab, and change the width and height parameters there.
However, actually doing that, did nothing when I tried it :/
The Composer is a closed-source component, and hasn't seen a ton of development in the recent months, so it's possible that this feature won't be added. However, I'll let the UI team know of this, thanks!

For that purpose, paper employed hybrid strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) methods. First, current energy situation is observed using SWOT analysis. Then, according TOWS matrix potential SO, WO, ST and WT strategies were defined. All strategies are rated using Expert choice software. Result show that the three best ranked strategies for improvement of energy security are: revitalization of the entire existing distribution network (ST1), defining the appropriate investment and legal model for the needs of building RES (ST2) and introducing energy management in the public, commercial and industrial sectors and establishing a municipal energy office (WT1), respectively.
