Paid $681 For One Night Rental Car!!! Do Not Pre-pay!!
Posted by
RENO, NEVADA -- Alamo really surprised us with very strange business ethics! To sum up my experience:
Alamo personnel give customers false information (about reimbursement and about car details). Alamo cannot handle special requests (we needed a special car and tried to solve this in advance). Alamo rather takes short term money instead of building a long term relationship with a satisfied customer.
The whole story:
We made a reservation from Germany and rented a car in Reno. As we planned a camping tour, we needed a stow & go car because we intended to sleep in the back. In order to make sure that we get this special car we phoned Alamo in Reno in advance which car to book and explained that we definitely need this car type and no other. They told us we need a Full Size SUV and promised us that this is no problem. Once being there it turned out that the Full Size SUV had no stow & go function. Unfortunately, we got into Reno with the last flight, so being back at the Alamo station we found this station already closed and everybody gone. So we had no other chance to take the "unusable" car and stay over night in a Hotel. The next morning we drove back to Alamo.
It finally turned out that only the Minivan has this function. So they changed our reservation into a Minivan. As the Minivan was not cleaned up yet, we waited for another 45 minutes to finally find out that this special Minivan had a back seat which was not removable at all!!! I really started to wonder if Alamo personnel ever listen to customers' needs? We got back to the station again. Finally talked to the Station Manager. We were really wondering whether Alamo expected to just accept this and sleep outside the car during our camping tour? Unbelievable.
We even tried to solve the situation and asked the station manager to take out the back seats, so we could use the car. But she refused. Asking her how to solve the problem because we had no other place to sleep, she advised us to check with other rental car companies. Aha??? She even told us that the money will be reimbursed once we are back in Germany. Even though we were not reimbursed on our credit card we took the word of the Station Manager and changed the rental car company. Being back in Germany nothing was reimbursed.
After a long discussion and telling the story over and over again to different call centre personnel (who were unfriendly and even hang up sometimes) and spending a lot of time and money on these phone calls, we were finally informed that there will be no reimbursement. So we ended up paying 681 $ for one night rental car driving to a Hotel!!!
I am really surprised about how Alamo handles customers in theses cases. It seems that making short term money is more important than building a long term relationship with a satisfied customer. I really wonder who is responsible for such customers policies. We are renting a lot of cars in the US, but this has never happened to us. Compared to all other rental car companies this is the poorest and most unbelievable experience we have ever made. With Hertz this would have never happened.
I really wonder how you stay in business.
By the way this was the original answer:
Dear Customer:
We have tried to book a reservation on the same web site that you booked your car through, and the Full Size SUV does not list stow and go seating as an option. We do not allow customers to remove seats from our vehicles or they will be liable for any damage to the vehicle so the manager at the station was correct in this fact. We apologize if a misunderstanding was given by the manager concerning a refund but it should not have been promised to you. We regret that no compensation will be given in this situation since a vehicle was provided that you chose not to use.

I'm sorry, but I am inclined to agree with the manager. You rented a car, not a camper. They rent transportation, not accommodations. If I owned the vehicle, I wouldn't have people yanking the seats out either. Didn't you consider renting a camper for your camping trip?
BobJohn on 09/24/2008:
It seems you should have gotten some kind of refund since you only rented the vehicle for 1 day but it sounds like they charged you for the original rental period. I agree with KenPopcorn - if you wanted a camper you should have rented one - they come in all sizes and prices. Hope you get some positive action from Alamo.

How Can You Exist In Today's Competitive Customer Service Industry Performing This Poorly?
Posted by
ATLANTA HARTSFIELD-JACKSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, GEORGIA -- I really am not sure where to begin this rental nightmare. I'll take it from the top, we have been in our business since 1928, and I have just recently taken the leadership helm. Myself and my staff are diligent about professionalism and excellence in all things [but we failed to do our homework in this area... that won't happen again]. This was to be our maiden voyage business trip under our new staff's direction. All plans and reservations were completed weeks in advance, we called, confirmed, checked and then checked again everything was fabulous.
On the day of our departure all involved were briefed and prepared. We moved towards the airport. Arrival to the airport=excellent; long-term parking and transportation to the terminal=excellent; flight & departure=(you guessed it!) excellent; shuttle to the car rental location=excellent...and then at Alamo/National it all falls down.
We warned them over and again that we were a business party of five men traveling to an undisclosed location approximately 3 hours away. We had done our level best [along with another member of my staff] to emphasize the gravity of having the appropriate command vehicle. That vehicle would be in the form of a Tahoe, an Escalade or a Suburban, and I was assured that there would be MORE than enough of these vehicles available for us to choose from. Nevertheless, I still felt a little uneasy, so we made over six calls of confirmation that week (I know...I know..that should have been a clue..what can I tell you... that week I was an optimist, plus we had pre-paid to show our level of commitment]. Allow me to continue it gets better, I walk to the counter, I'm greeted nicely, I hand over the confirmation documentation, the credit card and drivers license gets processed..but I keep asking where is the vehicle that I reserved..yet they keep proceeding.
I must have looked like one of those dogs getting dragged on a leash until finally I halt the process and ask for a straight answer. What is my car selection..after all its three options, surely they woulde have at least one available... correct? wrong! He starts rattling off cars and mid-size suv's that would barely fit 4 girl scouts with no luggage..let alone five men with a decent amount of girth and luggage. Did I mention that for business reasons we all had to take the last flight out which means that now its 1:45am.. not exactly a rush on cars at that time.
He goes to the night manager 1:45am, 2:00am, [I'm still not furious, after all God wouldn't be pleased with that kind of disposition] 2:15am, 2:30am, 2:40am "sir you can't get what you wanted, can we accommodate you with something else?" I'm thinking sure...that prius looks roomy and will save gas I should have asked for that in the...."OF COURSE NOT THAT'S WHY I MADE A RESERVATION FOR THOSE PARTICULAR VEHICLES!". Anyway, its 3am we have to get going...so..."what are my options?" after reviewing the list we pick the Cadillac dts sitting right outside...errr no that car is reserved..."What?!" so was mine, only my reservation is not virtual, its in your hand!"...the manager does a bunch of scenarios to include two cars for the price of one..but I'm trying to minimize our liability with one car full of weary travelers instead of two. Beaten we agree upon the Jeep...[did I mention it took over 20 minutes to bring that Jeep from the other lot?...nevermind]..we begin to load up, we jump in the car and...it won't start..the keys don't work. The staff goes through approximately 6 people including the individual who drove the car over before they realize "hey..the key doesn't work". We off load the truck and I return to the counter again...only this time my swagger is gone and I concede defeat..."please ma'am just give me anything so we can go". Finally, after an exhaustive search they come rolling over with a toyota..its moving forward so we'll take it. Right when we begin loading the car they call over to tell us that if we want to wait 20 minutes they can get another Jeep and the key should work. Yes we got a discount, yes we did get a car...but for the entire trip we were squeezed on top each other when prior planning should have been enough to facilitate that not happening. The truth be told Alamo/National ruined what otherwise would have been a perfect trip; and marred the confidence in our leadership that we were trying so hard to display competence that we were so anxious to try to forge in our leaders...you can't put a price on that. Alamo/National's lack of professionalism and ignorance of customer service left me speechless. You can make a note that unless "strong" concessions are made on their behalf I nor any member of our organization will ever do business with that organization again. My recommendation to all of you. Read the reviews from this website as a baseline and make an informed decision about who you do business with...find a reputable car rental agency, and use them, because this agency OBVIOUSLY is not.

That was incredibly well written....thank you for the information provided.
Hugh_Jorgen on 08/06/2008:
I am not aware of any of the car rental companies that will absolutely guarantee a specific model of car.
Alamo makes it clear on their web site: "Remember, at Alamo, all cars are priced, booked and controlled by car category, not by car make or model. Vehicle features, seating and luggage capacities are not guaranteed and are subject to manufacturer make and model."
It seems like they went to great lengths to assist you - even offering you two cars for the price of one. These things happen when you travel for business - it's how you deal with them that determines if you let it ruin your trip or not.
dan gordon on 08/06/2008:
it was well written for a novel. Short answer is that car types are not guaranteed. Did you call the specific airport location and request the car or did you call the 800# and talk to a nameless operator who probably has no clue as to the vehicles available at that location? That would have made a big difference in the credibility of your novel.
Mr. on 08/06/2008:
Hugh and Jordan you are both correct, and I am aware that no car rental ageny will guarantee a car type which is why I was not particular about which one of the "3" options I received...as long as it was in the car category that I requested. In addition, I personally called that specific location (twice) and both times I was assured that there was no need for concern. Trust me I tried to be as fair and objective as I could during the course of this business transaction. Thank you both for your comments and trying to bring gravity and clarity to this situation.

Archie2 on 08/09/2008:
All night the counter rep was hoping you wouldn't show up or your plane was delayed or re-routed. They had constant reminders looking at their reservation that there was no way they could help you. If they didn't even make an attempt to call the number you gave on your reservation (regardless of what time it was) then that say's they just don't give a damn. Reservations for these people are just a numbers game. Until the credit card companies allow them to guarantee the reservations without charge-back recourse (like hotels), the booking process will continue to be a game of chance.

Fuel Service Option
Posted by
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- We rented a car from Alamo at the San Jose airport. We were offered the fuel service option with a guaranteed price of $3.81 per gallon. However, it was not explained that we would be charged for a full tank of gas and that we should bring it back empty, just that we were guaranteed that price. So when we dropped the vehicle off with a half a tank of gas, we assumed that we would be charged just to fill it at the price of $3.81. Our receipt showed a full tank, but I assumed they just were showing what a full tank would be and that they would adjust it accordingly. Wrong.
I called Alamo this morning to see what the final price was and they said it was the same. The customer service rep explained that we had agreed to purchase a full tank, but very quickly offered to refund half since we returned the car with half a tank of gas. I was fine with that. She then put me on hold and when she came back on, she said that she could only refund me $25 since she had to use the refueling option at $5.63 per gallon.
I told her that it was outrageous that they were charging that much per gallon more. The gas station outside the airport was $4.25 and we definitely would have filled the tank had we known that we would be paying $5.63. I then spoke with a manager who was of no help whatsoever and finally ended up accepting the $25 refund.
So be forewarned if you choose this option and make sure that you bring the car back absolutely empty. If they had just refunded the half that they initially offered, I would have been happy, but they have definitely lost this customer and I will be sure to tell everyone I know about this experience. They obviously don't care about losing customers.

Pretty standard practice. My wife almost got hooked by this. Then, she read the fine print next to the 'guaranteed fuel price' box on her Hertz rental agreement. While the price of the rental agency fuel seems outrageous, they are providing an optional service to renters. One can always buy fuel off the airport property.
FoggyOne on 05/15/2008:
This is standard for all rental companies I've dealt with. Gouge the consumer is the underlying motto.
Anonymous on 05/15/2008:
I fill the tank away from the airport then top it off at the airport station and provide the receipt showing it was topped off. I then ask the attendant to mark the car as returned with no damage and a full tank. Doing this I have never had charges show up later for some bogus scratch or them claiming the tank was not full.
Anonymous on 05/15/2008:
This has always been a sticking point with me. Why are you always charged for a full tank of gas, when it is physically impossible to return the car without giving them back at least some of the gas you bought. I'd have to stand out in the return lot with a jug and syphon the tank dry before I could be happy with this deal. (and that aint bloody likely!)
MSCANTBEWRONG on 05/15/2008:
I do the same thing superbowl does. Never had an issue. It pays to read the fine print because the rental companies are out to make as much money as possible.
tnchuck100 on 05/15/2008:
I wonder how much longer the corporate attitude of "we need MONEY more than CUSTOMERS" is going to last.
AngryAtAlamo on 08/26/2009:
Also beware, that if you pay for an Economy car with the Economy FSO, and find out in the garage that there are no Economy cars available... you still have to pay for an upgrade version of the FSO! $63 FOR A TANK OF GAS!
scam checker on 07/24/2010:
This also happened to me at Boston-Logan. I paid upfront by Hotwire, and they gave me the prepaid fuel option and charged me $69 for a full size car with a tank only two-thirds full. This is extortionist! They don't even tell you that you pay for a full tank of gas even though you use only a part. I called Alamo and they credited me $35 for the gas (gee, thanks...) and I told them I would report them to the local BBB. DO NOT USE ALAMO!

Accusation of theft of GPS unit
Posted by
TORONTO -- I am one of the owners of The Urban Dog located on Whyte Ave in Edmonton Alberta.
In February I went to Toronto for a business trip. We needed a rental car and found a deal on line to get a vehicle from Alamo/National.
What we thought was a good deal was not one at all.
Once we arrived at the airport, we signed a deal with them for a rental for 4 days, unlimited km, and a GPS unit. We decided that we should rent a GPS unit from them so it would be easier to navigate around the busy streets of Toronto. We rented a SUV and enjoyed the vehicle very much.
We were leaving Toronto on an early morning flight on Sunday and would have to drop off the vehicle and leave the keys in the mailbox at the Alamo rental store as the business was not open until 7:00 am. We didn't have time to fill up the gas tank, and we went on a toll highway, and knew that there would be an additional charge for those items. What we didn't expect was an EXTRA charge of $349.00 for the GPS unit on our bill.
Alamo said that we did not return the GPS unit (this same unit can be purchased for around $200.00 at Best Buy)with the car rental. When we returned the vehicle we put the GPS unit in the glove box so if anyone was walking by the vehicle they would not be tempted to steal it or break into the car, locked the doors and put the keys in the Alamo return box.
Alamo is accusing us of not returning the GPS unit. These are my theories on what happened. One of the workers that checked the vehicle forgot to check off that the GPS was returned, they did not check the glove box , an employee saw this was an opportunity to take it(theft from any business by employees is not uncommon) , or the GPS unit was still in the vehicle upon the next person renting the vehicle and the new customers took it.
Not only on the bill we were charged for the GPS unit they still had enough nerve to charge us for the rental of it for the 4 days we had the vehicle!
Alamo also included in their bill a letter stating that we would not be able to rent from them again in the future, which of course after this occurrence I would never rent from them and not recommend their company either.
We as lo checked with Visa to see if they could do anything about this bill and they said because we signed a contract the rental car company can basically charge whatever they want afterwards.
This bill is an expense that will be written off as a business trip anyway but it has left a bad taste in my mouth front renting from this company (we always rent from Enterprise and have had nothing but the best of service from that company)and for thinking that people in the big city of Toronto are dishonest. Living in the WEST is the BEST. This incident does not want me to go back and do business in that city again.
I have phone the Alamo rental at Pearson International, left messages and nobody is returning my cars.
Please make consumers aware that when renting a vehicle, NEVER drop a vehicle off as you do not know what kind of extra charges may appear on your credit card after you leave.

What a mess! Lesson here is to leave the GPS where ever they put it. If someone breaks into the car after you returned it, it is their responsibility.
That, or just take the damn thing next time. That way at least you get a GPS out of the deal... ;-)

You can try small claim court,but it sounds like your word against theirs.

Failure To Accept Visa Debit After They Accepted Price
Posted by
DULLES, VIRGINIA -- I am totally frustrated and will never use Priceline or Alamo again. AFTER Alamo accepted our price on Priceline - when my husband went to pick up the vehicle - they refused to accept our Visa - Check Card. Refused to release the car without a Major Credit Card.
Guess that was so they could just gouge what they wanted. Immediately, contacted Priceline that Alamo refused to release the car. Advised that AFTER the drop off date - which was 5 days away - it would take another 10 business days for them to investigate and issue a refund because they could not contact the retailer as it was AFTER our pick up time but long before they closed. which made NO sense to me.
I will never use either again -
Here we are nearly 1 week later still no refund so they are making money on the interest of our money for a service they refused to provide.

Charging Damage Deductible From Credit Card WITHOUT Report or Consent
Posted by
TAMPA, CALIFORNIA -- The story is, my girl friend and me rent a car at Tampa airport for only one day on Jan 2014. The airport garage was dark, and the representative didn't offer to check the vehicle condition before driving away. We were hungry for food so forgot to do so. I admit, my bad. On the second day when we returned the car at a different location, the staff found a ~4-inch long scratch on the body, and claimed it's my responsibility. Certainly I didn't damage the car, but it left unclear whether someone else did during my possession, or it's simply existed before my possession, although there was no record of the damage in their system (who knows how well they update such info). Again, I admit it's my bad, didn't buy insurance for the 24-hour period.
Because we were in a hurry for a cruise, we left credit card number, a deposit for $500 for the repair. The representative promised there will be detailed report of damage estimate and cost estimate for us. And he said he will call after we finishes the cruise trip, which sounded nice. However, after 3 weeks, no calls at all, and the transaction of $500 was processed.
I don't think it's fair for them to charge the money before contacting me to reach an agreement on the numbers. He tricked us saying it would be more or less than $500, and the actual number depends on the report by adjuster. And in this way, they got the money already, leaving me with no chance to dispute the claim. I should have the right to accept or dispute the final charges. And I don' think charging without any written report is valid in my case.

You pretty much admitted guilt by paying them upfront. This is an "American" business, so of course they're going to fleece you for the full amount. That's what businesses in this country do.
Pete on 02/01/2014:
I think a lot of the 'damage' done to cars is in the $500 range to fix, know why? Because YOUR auto insurance picks up the first $500 on rentals. So the rental companies are betting you will just let your insurance pay for damage. Budget tried that on me but I yelled and hollered on the phone until they backed off. The damage that was there when I check ed the car in after 1 day was actually rusted. And this was in a dry climate state.
I think State legislators should pass a law saying if damage is not reported by the agency (rental company) when a customer rents a car and the customer finds the damage at that point the the entire rental should be free. I bet the damage claims would drop to about nothing.

Do Not Use These Guys
Posted by
IPSWICH, ALASKA -- This is a warning, for the sake of your pocket please do not use this company. They will try and find ways to charge you, they will take advantage of your good nature or inexperience when renting a car and they do not care.
I retired my vehicle with no additional damage 6 week later received a bill for £600 yes that's right £600! Of course all of us have that spare in our back pockets. Well your thinking he must have damaged the car, maybe an accident? Maybe he dented or scratched it? No, a mark on the inside of the boot that was already there that would disappear with polish and another that frankly you can't even see. £600
My company organized the rental so maybe they think they are fleecing the company for this money however it has been passed on to me so I am passing this knowledge in to you. Tell your friends. Do not rent from Alamo.

Claim for Damage Two Weeks After Return of Car
Posted by
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA -- My wife and I rented a Mustang convertible from Alamo in Pensacola for a short beach vacation. Nice car, and the Alamo folks at the airport were very pleasant both at pick-up and return. Trouble started two weeks later when we received a letter from Alamo's "Damage Recovery Unit" alleging $2100 in damage to the car, which had apparently been driven over a curb or similar obstacle. I called, got a person on the line, and said categorically we didn't damage the car, period. Rep said she would have Damage Recovery unit review, which it turns out just means they renew their claim. Our insurer, USAA, advised to just pay the deductible because "the consumer never wins these." Two bits of advice: first, don't ever, ever, ever rent from Alamo. Second, get a statement from any rental car company at turn-in, saying no damage. Otherwise, any negligent employee drives that car over a curb and doesn't want to own up to it, you pay. Seems to be Alamo policy.

Every time a vehicle is rented always take photographs of the entire vehicle inside and out.
When you pick it up make sure the agent pointing to any damage. That usually prevents them from making false claims.
CU on 08/02/2013:
Push back. If they don't note damage when you return the car, they cannot claim it afterwards. That car has been out of your possession fo rtwo weeks, and most anything could have happened to it. Make sure your credit card company is aware of a dispute.
And your insurance agency is wrong. This happened to me once, and it was actually AMEX that called them and told them they have no claim and that AMEX would not honor any charges from them.
Rory on 08/14/2013:
I had a similar experience - for £110 not for $2,000 - but I eventually got e refund after 4 weeks of complaints to both the US and UK customer service teams. Despite this it looks like this is a global problem for them and I would still never rent from Alamo again, their customer service is so unfriendly, at no point did they admit any fault. Absolutely terrible company.

Charges for Options I Did Not Take, After I Got Home
Posted by
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- I hired a car from Alamo at Phoenix airport on the 3rd of May this year, and was stitched up by Alamo.
Their agent attempted to sell us loads of options, when we said no to all of them he became very short close to being rude. He also tried to give us a lower level of car which I had to sort out at the pickup point (the lady here was very helpful).
However on return home to the UK and getting our credit card bill they had charged us for options we had not taken, such as a pre fuel charge of $43, not being aware of this we paid twice as we returned the car with a full tank
We were also charged $231 for an additional driver which I had originally requested through Rentalcar.com, but refused it when I got to the airport because they were running a promotion offering additional driver free! I of course said no to the agent when he asked, saying I will take the free offer to which he made no reply and continued preparing the paper work for us to sign.
In total I got charged $363.95 for extras I didn't request. Alamo's response to date has been hard luck you signed now go away. This is because of my final signature on the last page

Abusive practices and poor customer service
Posted by
LONDON -- I rented a car with Alamo in Nov 2012 and found some of the business practices very abusive along with a poor customer service. Following a 'prohibited U-turn' that happened in the city of SoutHampton on a deserted road a Sunday evening, I have been charged £1 for the contravention and £16 of admin fees by the SoutHampton council. On top of that, Alamo (Europcar) added their own fees consisting of £30 of admin fees and £6 VAT!
I find it excessive that Europcar charge me more than twice the cost of the actual contravention and makes the total of the fine more expensive than the car rental price itself when I could have paid directly to the local authorities of SoutHampton, avoiding all this!
I contacted Alamo's customer service via email to complain about this and three weeks later I receive a response that was basically repeating the T&C written on the invoice and explaining that no refund will be provided. I then asked for a gesture of good will but the only reply I got was the same last sentence from the previous email with no formal email starting or signature!
After all, I decided to post a complaint online and someone from Alamo Social Media, Carol H, commented that they will 'look into this for me' if I sent more details about my contract agreement etc. What I did, twice, but I never heard from her again...
Eventually I feel extremely disappointed by Alamo dishonest practices! Their customer service is an illusion, they don't properly deal with the complaints or couldn't care less about their clients feedback if you consider the number of complaints that are posted worldwide.

Addiction: Substance Abuse Community
HI there. I am on day 5 also. CONGRATS! I still feel a bit shakey, and fatigued, but SO much better than the first 4 days. Like you, I too am afraid that this is a false feeling. Am I going to crash and feel like crap later today, or tomorrow? I don't know, but at the moment I DO have enough energy to go outside for a short walk, so that's what I...

Hi everyone. Today is my 4th day of WD from high doses of oxy. I have been taking suboxone, but the last time I quit opiates -2 years ago -I also used Suboxone, and I had bad suboxone withdrawls about 3 days after my last dose. So, I don't know if I should take anymore sub, or not. My first day I took 1 and 1/4 pills, the second day 1 pill, and yesterda...

I am so proud of you! I am on day 4 of my with drawls. I used suboxone for the first 3 days. I guess it helped a little. Not as much as I thought it would, though. I keep telling myself that "this too shall pass". Just hang in there and tell yourself that you have the flu, but it will get better. So many of the AA quotes come to mind. "Take it...

Congratulations!!! You have given me some much needed strength and encouragement. I am on day 4 of with drawls, with the help of suboxone. I still feel week and a bit fuzzy.

Addiction: Substance Abuse Community
Hi Orabel, I remember the first time I quit taking my percs and oxys. I ran out of them and wasn't due for a refil for 3 days. About 12 hours after taking my last pill, I started to feel REALLY sick. I was truly convinced I had the flu.Day 3 with no pills and I was still VERY sick. Needless to say, about an hour after taking 30 mg oxy, I started to feel...
Desperate to quit but don't know how. It's always "tomorrow"
Jun 04, 2012 in the
Addiction: Substance Abuse Community
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement and for the brutal honesty of the situation. I am on day 4 of suboxone treatment. HORRIBLE! I remember it being so much easier the last time I quit. At least today I am out of bed and I feel like I have a tiny bit of strength. What is your story? How long have you been clean and how did you get there?
Desperate to quit but don't know how. It's always "tomorrow"
May 17, 2012 in the
Addiction: Substance Abuse Community
I've been on opiates for 14 years (I was in a bad motorcylcle accident), but the last 4 years have been a living hell. Two years ago I quit taking oxy's, with the help of suboxone. It was a very rough 10 days, but I did it. The thing I hadn't counted on was the amount of pain I would dealing with, every minute of every day, once the opiates wer...

HBO has picked up your new favorite show to series.
Currently untitled, the Rock 'n' Roll project is an hour-long drama set in 1970s New York that, according to the network, explores "the drug- and sex-fueled music business as punk and disco were breaking out, all through the eyes of a record executive trying to resurrect his label and find the next new sound."
Sarah Braverman's love life has been quite the rollercoaster ride ever since Parenthood started. She's made a few bad choices over the years (see also: dating her and her brother's boss and kissing her fresh-out-of-rehab ex-husband), but ever since Sarah (Lauren Graham) rekindled her romance with Hank (Ray Romano) at the end of Season 5, it appeared that the eldest Braverman daughter had finally settled down for good. But will that remain true when Sarah's former fiancé, the beloved Mark (Jason Ritter), comes back into her life on Thursday's episode...read more

Ice Age: Continental Drift in 3D begins after Scrat's continental cataclysm, which triggers the greatest adventure of all for "Ice Age's" intrepid trio -- Manny, Diego, and Sid.
MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE explores the unique bonds of male friendship among three men experiencing the changes and challenges of mid-life. They have been best friends since college but now, in their 40s, are navigating through the second act of their lives. Joe (Romano) is a friendly, slightly neurotic, recently separated father of two who had dreams of being a professional golfer. Now he owns and runs a party store. Terry (Bakula) is a laid-back, handsome actor who seems to breeze through life (and women). Lately, he's spending more time working as a temp than as an actor. And Owen (Braugher) is an overstressed husband and father of three who endures constant criticism from his father, for whom he works as a car salesman.
Ray Romano's eight-day drive through the south on a stand-up comedy tour becomes more than he bargains for when longtime friend and opening act, Tom Caltabiano, brings a film student along to document their thousand-mile journey. Together, all three struggle with Ray's obsessions, phobias, and insecurities in this unscripted exploration of newfound fame.

Just when you thought they couldn't get any cooler...your favorite prehistoric pals from Ice Age and Ice Age The Meltdown are back in an all-new, ginormous animated adventure for ALL ages.
Now on Digital HD. History's greatest heroes return for the most outrageously funny and entertaining Ice Age adventure in two million years.

Join a boat-load of lovable new characters (voiced by Jennifer Lopez, Aziz Ansari and Peter Dinklage) for original songs, spectacular animation and heartwarming family fun.
The "Ice Age" saga continues in this sidesplitting sequel, as Scrat's acorn obsession sparks a continental catastrophe that sends Manny, Diego and Sid on an epic adventure involving a ship full of fearsome pirates and an unexpected reunion.

It's been nearly 10 years since Everybody Loves Raymond went off the air, but creator Phil Rosenthal still remembers the moment he knew he had a hit on his hands.
"They would bring in audiences from prisons and nursing homes [and] they laughed for over 30 seconds, which is a big laugh for people who don't know the characters," he told TVGuide.com at a recent cast reunion. "That's when you know maybe you have something."

Fun Facts About Governor Brown
Edmund Gerald Brown, Jr. - also known as Jerry Brown - takes office as governor of California on January 3, 2011, replacing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Brown, born in San Francisco in 1938, served as governor from 1975 to 1983. He defeated Republican Houston Flournoy, who was the State Controller at the time. This time Brown beat Meg Whitman, former CEO of eBay.
Brown's father, Edmund Gerald "Pat" Brown, Sr., was governor of California from 1959 to 1967.
Jerry Brown received the nickname of "Governor Moonbeam" from Mike Royko, a Chicago columnist. He said Brown attracted the "moonbeam vote" - young, idealistic and non-traditional voters. Royko laterd changed his opinion about Brown, but the nickname stuck.
The incoming governor is married to Anne Gust, a former lawyer and executive at the clothing chain Gap.
During his first stint as governor, Brown dated singer Linda Ronstadt. Their romance even made the cover of Newsweek magazine in 1979. According to some of his friends, Brown said he couldn't marry her because it would cost him the White House.
Brown ran for president in 1976, 1980 and 1992. He also ran for U.S. Senate in 1982, but lost to then-San Diego mayor Pete Wilson.
After his Senate defeat, Brown - who comes from a Roman Catholic family - travelled to Japan to study Buddhism. He also visited Mother Theresa in Calcutta and helped her care for the sick in one of her hospices. Brown claims both these experiences helped him look at politics from different points of view.
As governor, Brown refused to live in the newly-built governor's residence. Instead, he rented an apartment by Capitol Park, on 14th and N Streets. This time, Brown is choosing to live on a 16th St. apartment, on the corner of J St. Brown also refused to use a chauffeured limousine, and drove to work at the Capitol.
Brown, 72, will be California's oldest governor and the country's oldest currently serving governor. Since 2007, he has been the State's Attorney General.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Iraq receives 9 Mi-A1 Abrams tanks
Friday - 8/31/2012, 8:43am EDT
Iraq may not be quite strong enough to completely defend itself. But that's not because it lacks decent tanks.
Iraq's Army this week took delivery of nine American M1-A1 Abrams tanks. Defense News reports, the delivery completes an order of 140. Iraq displayed the tanks at a training facility southeast of Baghdad. They cost a total of $860 million, of which Iraq paid $800 million. The United States paid the rest. Iraq has also purchased 36 F-16 fighter planes.
This story is part of Federal News Radio's daily DoD Report. For more defense news, click here.

"Dishonest Pricing, Poor support response"
Quite feature rich
There pricing and upgrade costs are completely hidden.
I cannot recommend this package at all based on this single most annoying feature. It suggests that you upgrade but at no stage does it mention that you need to repurchase the licence, it just stops working. You are then left with the only options of paying more or downgrading to the same version that you originally purchased.
Do not buy this product unless you are prepared to pay more than say Quickbooks or MYOB over a 12 mth period.

Luck of the Draw
Whether it's college or pro football, a poor record at the end of the season is a surefire way for a head coach to be relieved of his duties. Black coaches in the sport have had their share of tough times recently, with some industry insiders speculating that progress for Black head coaches in the NFL specifically will continue to be slow. Here's a look at the Black football coaches who recently got the ax — or who moved on to bigger fields of glory. —Britt Middleton

Yup, the Canon 5D Mark III is serious business. That sweet bit of kit is a pro-grade camera and a total lust item. But there's another reason to love it: It just made its elder sibling, the 5D Mark II, the best deal in cameras.

Okay, so I took my daughters and two nephews to the library's summer reading program today. It was the kick-off day. They have a special act each Monday throughout the program. Today was a magician. My kids were at the very front. They, I do have to say, were being obnoxious telling him to do certain acts... because they had seen him before and knew his tricks. So it came time to "chop someone's head off" and he volunteered me. Now, I hate having anything touch my head (I don't really know why) AND I HATE BEING TRAPPED IN ANYTHING (small rooms, elevators, even finger splints make my skin crawl.) I played along, but I didn't like it. A lot of the kids at church were there and kept asking me at church tonight (it's VBS time) if it hurt, or they'd say "I saw you at the library, ha ha ha." Ugh!
Thank you all so much for your prayers and concerns for my grandmother. It really helps knowing that I have so much support.
She is doing about the same as she was doing before the TIA. It is almost like it never happened. She still has moments where her dementia gets the best of her. She likes to tell people that I just moved her in with me without asking her. But we talked about it for about 2 years before we absolutely had no choice. (She had fallen in her yard. Thankfully, her neighbor had planted soybeans and not corn that year; and he saw her lying on the ground across the field that separates their houses.)
The Home Health nurses started coming day before yesterday. They are going to set us up with a Life Line. The nurse that was here today said she'd bring it with her when she comes out next week. I will feel so much more comfortable leaving her here by herself with her wearing that button.
Finally someone besides me got a high blood pressure on gran. I've been getting in the 150's on top. Everyone else gets in the 120's. I was beginning to think it was just me. Maybe it is being in this house that makes her bp go up. Who knows? Seems funny to me that it is only here that her bp is high. Hum?
Anyway, thank you all again for asking about her. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
Well, I came home from church Sunday night to find my grandmother not speaking correctly. She was mixing her words and sounds. She'd say a "t" instead of an "l" or an "m" instead of an "s." My first thought was stroke! She didn't have any other typical signs... drooping face, numbness, dizziness, etc. But, I knew it had to be something.
So after chest x-rays, blood tests, and a head CT the doctor confirmed a TIA (or mini-stroke). An ultrasound of her neck arteries found blockages in both. We see a surgeon for a consultation on the 16th. We spent one night in the hospital.
She's 85, and I know that she will pass from this life. I just want every day that she has left of it to be the most comfortable that I can provide.
My twin sister's older boy was awarded today with one of only 7 Presidential Academic Awards presented at school today. The award has three criteria that have to be met that deal with maintaining an GPA above 93 for both the 4th and 5th grade years, maintaining above a 93 for all 9 week periods of the 5th grade, and scoring the highest ranking on the TCAP standardized test in the Math and Reading sections. It is very difficult to do all three, and we had 7 students to do that. My nephew was one of them.
At the same ceremony, he also received an Honor Roll certificate, 3rd place for his class in AR (accelerated reading) points, and perfect attendance.
My older daughter received 1st (yeah) in AR points for her class and also perfect attendance. I'm hoping she'll keep up the good work and be able to hang a Presidential Award on her wall at the end of her 5th grade year, too. She's in 3rd. Now, I have something to keep putting before her as a goal to keep on working hard to maintain an A average.
I just had to brag... again.
Many of you may have seen where I've bragged on my older daughter's audition for B&B, jr. last Saturday. She wowed everyone... even the theater directors. Several people were there with their kids waiting for their turn or staying to hear the competition. One of those was one of the 3rd grade teachers at her school. She asked my daughter to come to her classroom and sing her song. It escalated to her singing for 6 different classes. When she got to the Boys & Girls Club the next day, one of the volunteers had heard her song and asked her to sing it for the 8 & 9's group. Wow, I cannot be more proud.
Today I got the call from the director of the theater's workshop. Although my daughter auditioned for the part of Mrs. Potts (which she really, really wanted), they did not think she was "big enough" for the part. The actress had to be bigger than Chip (Mrs. Potts' son). Both Chips are as big as my daughter. So, they cast her in the part of Babette the lead feather duster. The director guaranteed me that this is one of the main parts in the show and that she has more songs and dances than are portrayed in the movie. She said that my daughter would "...love the costume. She will be all decked out in a huge feather skirt." I know that my daughter will play the part to the fullest and sing the songs to the best of her ability. I cannot wait to see her in that costume. I think she will be too cute.


text: restart: with(DEtools): Section 2.3 Problem #23 A sky diver weighing LyomSSJtRzYiIiIiSSJnR0YlRiYiJCE9lbs. (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of LyZJInhHNiI2IyIiISIlK10= ft. and opens the parachute after 10 seconds of free fall. Assume that the force of air resistance is LyomSSNtdUc2IiIiIi1JJGFic0clKnByb3RlY3RlZEc2Iy1JInZHRiU2I0kidEdGJUYmLCRGJyQiI3YhIiM= when the parachute is closed and LyomSSNtdUc2IiIiIi1JJGFic0clKnByb3RlY3RlZEc2Iy1JInZHRiU2I0kidEdGJUYmLCRGJyIjNw== when the parachute is open, where LUkidkc2IjYjSSJ0R0Yk is the velocity measured in feet per second. (a) Find the speed of the sky diver when the parachute opens. (b) Find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) What is the limiting velocity Jkkidkc2IjYjSSJMR0Yk after the parachute opens? (Terminal velocity) (d) Determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) Plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the sky diver reaches the ground. We will make "up" positive and "down" negative. We will call LUkieEc2IjYjSSJ0R0Yk the altitude of the sky diver in feet, SSJ0RzYi seconds after the start of his descent. Notice that since the sky diver is falling during the entire problem, his velocity is always negative so that Ly1JJGFic0clKnByb3RlY3RlZEc2Iy1JInZHNiI2I0kidEdGKSwkRichIiI= also notice that air resistance "pulls up" as the diver falls so (as long as LUkiPkclKnByb3RlY3RlZEc2JEkjbXVHNiIiIiE=) we have the force due to air resistance is LCQqJkkjbXVHNiIiIiItSSJ2R0YlNiNJInRHRiVGJiEiIg==. Remembering that L0kiRkc2IkkjbWFHRiQ= and that Ly1JImFHNiI2I0kidEdGJS1JJWRpZmZHJSpwcm90ZWN0ZWRHNiQtSSJ2R0YlRiZGJw==, we get the following differential equation (SSJnRzYi is the acceleration due to gravity): g := 32; m := 180/g; theEquation := m*diff(v(t),t) = -mu * v(t) - m*g; We solve the differential equation governing the descent with the parachute closed. We will assume that the sky diver's initial velocity is 0. Recall that L0kjbXVHNiIkIiN2ISIj for the fall without parachute. mu := 0.75; closedVelocity := simplify(dsolve({theEquation,v(0)=0})); (a) What is the sky diver's velocity when the chute opens (at L0kidEc2IiIjNQ== seconds)? v10 := subs(t=10,rhs(closedVelocity)); evalf(abs(v10)); Now that we know the velocity (for the chute closed), we can integrate and find the position function. However, we must remember to plug in the initial position Ly1JInhHNiI2IyIiISIlK10=. closedPositionEq := diff(x(t),t) = rhs(closedVelocity); closedPosition := simplify(dsolve({closedPositionEq,x(0)=5000})); (b) How far has the sky diver fallen when the chute opens? x10 := subs(t=10,rhs(closedPosition)); evalf(5000-x10); Next, we must find the velocity and position of the sky diver after his chute has opened. We have all ready calculated the initial conditions Ly1JInZHNiI2IyIjNUkkdjEwR0Yl and Ly1JInhHNiI2IyIjNUkkeDEwR0Yl. Remember that L0kjbXVHNiIiIzc= for this part of the problem. mu := 12; theEquation; openVelocity := simplify(dsolve({theEquation,v(10)=v10})); openPositionEq := diff(x(t),t) = rhs(openVelocity); openPosition := simplify(dsolve({openPositionEq,x(10)=x10})); (c) What is the limiting velocity Jkkidkc2IjYjSSJMR0Yk for the sky diver after the chute has opened? v_L := limit(rhs(openVelocity),t=infinity); (d) Determine how long the sky diver is in the air after his parachute opens. hitsGround := simplify(solve(rhs(openPosition)=0,t)); evalf(hitsGround) - 10; (e) Graph the sky divers velocity function (we will also plot his position function). plotVClosed := plot(rhs(closedVelocity),t=0..10,numpoints=5000): plotVOpen := plot(rhs(openVelocity),t=10..hitsGround,numpoints=5000): plots[display](plotVClosed,plotVOpen); plotXClosed := plot(rhs(closedPosition),t=0..10,numpoints=5000): plotXOpen := plot(rhs(openPosition),t=10..hitsGround,numpoints=5000): plots[display](plotXClosed,plotXOpen);

Sony Corp. is considering outsourcing options for image sensor chips, said Tomio Takizawa, a Tokyo- based spokesman for the company.
"We're considering various options of outsourcing as well as strengthening our own production capacity because of rising demand," Takizawa said.
The Nikkei English News earlier today reported that Sony plans to hire Fujitsu Ltd. for the bulk of the production process for complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensors used in digital cameras and camera phones. Sony isn't the source of Nikkei's report and doesn't disclose the name of its contract manufacturers for the sensors, he said.
Naoki Akaboshi, a Tokyo-based spokesman for Fujitsu declined to comment.

The Good
Strong automation capabilities:
Vivant's automation capabilities include the ability to control lighting, temperature, and appliances through the security system. This functionality can also be accomplished through a web portal or on a mobile device. You can also schedule automation, turning lights on or off at certain times in order to make it appear as if someone is home. You can also set event-triggered automation, where lighting, appliances, video cameras, or other security equipment responds to certain events or actions.
Forward-thinking organization:
Vivint has made it a priority to embrace innovative and emerging technologies. In addition to smart home automation, Vivint promotes energy efficiency and is making an effort to be the industry-leading rooftop solar systems provider in the country.
High-quality, modern design:
When a home security company cares about design, it shows not only through their website but also in their keypad, mobile, and online portal interfaces. In addition, design-focused home security companies are more sensitive to the fact that you don't want big, bulky security equipment cluttering up your house. All keypads, sensors, and detectors provided by Vivint boast a clean and simple design and won't negatively impact the ambience of your home.
Well-established, financially stable company:
Founded in 1999, Vivint has been a solid industry competitor for many years. As indicated by the company history, Vivint has hit some impressive milestones over the past few years, and it's highly probable that the organization will continue to grow and diversify further in the future. Even more promising, Vivint was purchased by Blackstone Group LP for approximately $2 billion, which is a good indication that the company will be around for some time to come.
Internal monitoring:
Vivint provides internal monitoring and attempts to be transparent with customer service issues. Although the majority of top home security companies also provide internal monitoring services, it's not uncommon in the industry for the company you originally signed up with to outsource your monitoring to a competitor organization, or to turn around and sell your account to a different monitoring company altogether. Vivint remains committed to serving you and your home security needs as long as you're their customer.
The Bad
No outdoor cameras:
Outdoor security cameras are designed to be weather-resistant and are especially useful for protecting cars from break-ins or for solving property damage cases. If outdoor cameras are particularly important to you, Vivint may not be the right choice.
Limited relocation options:
Vivint home security systems are installed by professional service technicians who mount keypads on a wall in your home. When you move, Vivint recommends reinstalling your system if you have roughly $500 worth of equipment. Further stipulations, like the length of time you've been a customer, can result in additional fees. If you anticipate moving before the terms of your contract expire, an out-of-the-box home security system may be a better fit.
Lengthy contract requirements:
Vivint's typical home security contracts range from 42 to 60 months, so be sure you take the time to understand contract expectations before signing. Vivint often provides a basic home security package at a heavily discounted cost. However, bear in mind that home security equipment is expensive, so anytime you're offered a free or cheap system, expect contracts to be fairly lengthy.
The Details
- Adjust Temperature - You can adjust the temperature of your house remotely.
- Appliance Control - You can remotely turn small appliances on or off using a smartphone or Internet connection.
- Arm/Disarm - You can arm and disarm the security system remotely.
- Change Access Codes - You can change system access codes for different people who may have to enter your home.
