So I proceeded to call there corporate office and the girl there had no clue what to do. By the way there corporate number is 484-531-5000 if anybody wants to call them and complain to them about the way you are treated by their debt collectors. The president of the company is Andrew Case who claims he is not but other people will tell you he is. I recommend everyone calling him too. His number is 651-255-2003. I was told by him to call Roy Bucchold at 651-255-2001. Roy then passed the buck and told me to call John Boquist who is an incompetent piece of crap. His number is 253-620-4320.
Lets all call these higher up people and let them know what we think of how their debt collectors treat us. I am having to deal with this low life company over a debt I already paid. I called the court house and they told me themselves I already paid the debt and the case was closed. Alliance one needs to learn not to screw with people.
So I encourage thousands of people to flood there corporate office and these low life supervisers I named with calls. They love to call us so why don't we call them. And to people who are worried about collection agencies. Don't worry. They are nothing but low lives who have nothing better to do then aggravate and harass people. I don't take their crap. I tell them to screw off and tell them exactly what I think of them.
They are the lowest form of life on the planet. There is no such thing as debtors prisons. The worst they can do is ruin your credit. Today it is unbelievable how one item can ruin things for your credit. So I say why bother caring about it. Play their game and don't pay them.

judging by the level of stupidity in most debtors, we should probably get you to pay two or three times just to stimulate economic growth.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Overview: Honda's small wagon is a paragon of versatility; if it wore a Civic badge it might very likely be even more popular than it already is.
Drivetrain: A 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine makes more power than previous Fit; Choose from a six-speed manual transmission or optional fuel-saving continuously variable unit (CVT).
The Mexico-built Fit sticks to a proven formula: keep the size and weight in check; keep the body free of fat and the inside spacious; and keep drivers and passengers thinking they're ensconced in a vehicle that feels and drives much larger than it really is. Despite being physically and dimensionally similar, the current Fit actually looks bigger than its predecessor, thanks to more prominent body creases and fenders that bulge out at the wheel openings. The wraparound headlight pods integrate with the grille and no longer extend alongside the hood. The taillights are enlarged and the squared-off liftgate glass helps emphasize the width. The interior remains a marvel of practicality. Passenger volume is on the generous side and rear-seat legroom is practically Accord-like, primarily due to the chassis design and a compact rear suspension. The Fit's 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine makes 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque, compared to 117 horses and 106 pound-feet of torque for the previous 1.5. A six-speed manual transmission, or optional continuously variable unit (CVT), directs power to the front wheels. The CVT helps the Fit achieve 33 mpg in the city and 41 on the highway, up from 28/35 with the previous five-speed automatic (the six-speed manual delivers similar improvements compared to the older Fit). Just because it's a bottom-rung Honda doesn't mean the Fit lacks for convenience. The top-line EX-L comes with a power moonroof, multi-angle rearview camera (a basic rearview camera is standard) leather-covered seats (heated in front) and push-button start. A voice-controlled navigation system can also be ordered for the EX-L.

Christmas where you live
Iceland tradition the day before Christmas - rotten fish
In Iceland ,Christmas is celebrated on the 24th. And at 18:00 hours on the 24th, Christmas starts, and after dinner, presents are opened.
But the day before Christmas, there is a tradition, to eat ,what is called - Rotten Fish - or rotten/decayed stingray/skate which is a traditional Icelandic dish.
And in many homes in Iceland , it is forbidden to cook it ,because of the huge rotten smell.
So some go to other places to cook it , and here it is cooked and served in a automobile Garage company.
The smell and odor of this fish is so overwhelming, that I think it affected the camera i was videotaping this on.

Mel Gibson turns hypnotist
"Mel's a natural, he's got the look as well as piercing blue eyes. He's going to be a great hypnotist," the Daily Express quoted Collingwood as saying. "Mel's brother Chris has been into...hypnotism for a long time and he talked to Mel about it over the phone and Mel got interested, too," he added.
Now a singleton, the father-of-eight could perhaps use his new skills to impress the ladies.

can someone post (or post a link to) the correct format for theme css files in 1.3 so they can be dragged and dropped as they are supposed to in it? Obviously its commented CSS, but its the construction of the important comments that illudes me (and so getting it to show in the theme panel).
I've tried to reverse engineer it by looking at the code, but I suck at regex, so I can't get the syntax right for the information that is to be displayed.
Also I'm not sure if you just drop "mynewtheme.css" into the themes folder (which you have to create by hand I may add), or what...?

I recently won 5 games by timeout against the same player, and it now looks like I lost points on one of them! I don't know if it really matters but the order of timing out may sometimes make a big difference in ratings. So I thought: what happens if a tournaments round starts, and 1 player times out all the games on the same time. Which one is counted first?
Recent Games
I don't understand how you could ever lose rating by winning a game...
But yeah, it's a bit of an issue, depends where you are in the queue.
Recently I had 2 games against awardchess, who's normally about 200 above me. But he timed out in a string of games, and by the time i came to mine he was about 1100. So, I actually lost points for scoring 1.5/2 against a stronger player. If I lost both (entirely possible) I would have lost 32 points.
If the timeouts against me happened earlier, I would have gained.
I think maybe ratings shoould be adjusted according to the start ratings of the players?
No, because people with start rating of 1200 or people who timed out recently would be still counted very low, instead of the normal ratings that they would get up to during the game.
A player timed out in all his games at the start of the third round of the Tournament, Spider (1), just a few days ago. He did not make a move in any of the games, so the other players received no rating adjustments.
And no I didn't lose points, they were just posted in the archive in wrong order
i suspect they listed them in the wrong order-you jump to 2047 and then return to 2045-change the order and see for yourself
I'll see what i can do
it happens too :) and no worries Kohai it all comes out the same in the end
It is almost not possible that the timeouts are at the same time. The last move off the opponents would have to be stored at the same moment in the database.
It has been fixed now so they show in order on current games and games history.

A man named Donald Allen Correll contacted me on faceboo a month ago. He said he was a mining engineer. He said he lived in Orlando, Florida. He said he was widower and searching for love. He said he has two children. He was very kind in his messages. And pretty soon declared his intention to marry me. Then he left Florida for a gas busyness in Malaysia. There he asked for money, 2000 euros at first then more. I suspected a fraud. I contacted other women that has had the same approach with this man. We all think he is a romantic scammer. He only wants to steal money. We think that's a nigerian 419 scam. Or a version of that. They work in team. They just want steal money from women.

Then more. he sent also a ticket by email with an itinerary to stop in Italy for a while. I contacted other women thata has had approached in the same way by the same guy. We all think he is a romantic scammer. He only wants to steal money. We think this is a 419 nigerian scam or a variation of it.They work in team and ask money with money gram, western union or wire trasnfer to malaysian bank accounts. Which i have. And did not sent money.

Benito Evans claiming to be a widower born in 1961 in Brazil, contacted me on Facebook for marriage proposal. He sent pics of him and his little daughter. And after three day's courting asked 35000 dollars to be wired in a bank account partaining to a lady, a certain Cathryn Perfetti who lives in Cary, Illinois and is on facebook. i did not send any money but i made a report to Fbi hoping this time they'll do find time since the account is not in Malaysia but on Usa ground, being an internet domestic fraud attempt.i ask your website to alert the media and law enforcements to do something more against these crimes, since these people, basically nigerians with a clear non american accent but quite frence and afro amaerican as well, are damaging economically and psicologically many persons.

Nancy Thompson Stringer passed away peacefully at her home with her family at her side on June 17, 2013. Nancy was born and raised in Southern California.
Until her passing, she was close friends with those she knew even from kindergarten and while going to South Pasadena San Marino High School, she met her husband to be, Dan.
Shortly after high school, she and Dan married and had two wonderful sons, Todd and Tyler.
For almost twelve years, Nancy courageously fought Multiple Myeloma Cancer with great resolve. She was blessed to live long enough to love and adore her grandson, Liam.
Her family and friends will remember her forthrightness and the fun she was.
There will be no services and the burial is for family only, following Nancy's wishes.
If you feel the need, donations may be made to the Hoag Memorial Hospital Cancer Center in her name.
Goodbye Nance, we had fun.

At Tri-City Audiology, we consider your hearing health, your lifestyle, your budget and the available technology before recommending the hearing aid that is just right for you. Then we make minor adjustments as necessary, as you get used to your new listening experience. Being both clinical audiologists and licensed hearing aid dispensers, we are uniquely qualified to accurately assess your hearing loss, then provide the best possible option from our vast selection.

A trip to the Salon de l'Agriculture (Agriculture Fair), and a cheap Paris thanks to the Hotel Tolbiac.
Things change for the 50th anniversary ! A Focus on the novelties...
For half a century, the Salon International de l'Agriculture (International Agriculture Fair) gathers each year all the stakeholders of the agricultural world. It is a reference in its sector, not only in France but even abroad. In the beginning, the Fair was created around the Concours Général Agricole des Animaux (General Agricultural Contest for Animals). Then it has grown and has followed, year after year, the evolution of the french agriculture.
It now gathers 1300 exhibitors coming from 22 countries and more than 4000 animals. This event is particularly appreciated by the public coming in numbers.
In 2012, more than 680 000 have come.
In 2013, the Fair celebrates its 50th anniversary around the concept of "The Agriculture at the heart"... at the heart of people... of cities... of Arts... and of everyone !
The Fair evolves. The Pavilion 1 is no longer used, the animals are allocated between the different halls in order to allow an easier visit.
Every anniversary comes with gifts. For the 50th edition of the Salon International de l'Agriculture, you will find limited edition items such as the 50th anniversary shopping bag. The "livre des souvenirs" (book of memories) will make you relive great moments of the fair, with pictures and old posters. You will also find the "passeport des animaux" ("animals' passport") : a lexicon on animals and a game for children that allow them to meet the breeders of the 7 animals representing the fair this year !
A quizz : did you know that in 1963 there was :
- on January 22nd the signature of the Traité de l'Élysée de coopération Franco-allemande (French-German cooperation Treaty)
- on April 28th a memorable soccer match between Brasil and France (that bowed down at 85th minute after 3 goals from the King Pelé)
- on May 27th the famous song of Bob Dylan "Blowin'In The Wind"
- on July 14th Jacques Anquetil brings back the yellow jersey to Paris and wins the Tour de France for the 3rd consecutive time
- on August 28th "I have a Dream", Martin Luther King delivers his famous speech
- on November 22nd the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dallas

Amazon Exclusive: Inside Inferno
Explore the sights of Inferno alongside Robert Langdon in this exclusive first look at Dan Brown's latest thriller.
As Langdon continued on toward the elbow of the square, he could
see, directly ahead in the distance, the shimmering blue glass dial of the
St. Mark's Clock Tower—the same astronomical clock through which
James Bond had thrown a villain in the film Moonraker.
The Tetrarchs statue was well known for its missing foot, broken
off while it was being plundered from Constantinople in the thirteenth
century. Miraculously, in the 1960s, the foot was unearthed in Istanbul.
Venice petitioned for the missing piece of statue, but the Turkish authorities
replied with a simple message: You stole the statue—we're keeping our
Amid a contour of spires and domes, a single illuminated facade dominated
Langdon's field of view. The building was an imposing stone fortress
with a notched parapet and a three-hundred-foot tower that swelled
near the top, bulging outward into a massive machicolated battlement.
Langdon found himself standing before a familiar face—that of Dante Alighieri.
Depicted in the legendary fresco by Michelino, the great poet stood before
Mount Purgatory and held forth in his hands, as if in humble offering,
his masterpiece The Divine Comedy.

Q&A with Dan Brown
Q. Inferno refers to Dante Alighieri´s The Divine Comedy. What is Dante's significance? What features of his work or life inspired you?
A. The Divine Comedy—like The Mona Lisa—is one of those rare artistic achievements that transcends its moment in history and becomes an enduring cultural touchstone. Like Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, The Divine Comedy speaks to us centuries after its creation and is considered an example of one of the finest works ever produced in its artistic field. For me, the most captivating quality of Dante Alighieri is his staggering influence on culture, religion, history, and the arts. In addition to codifying the early Christian vision of Hell, Dante's work has inspired some of history's greatest luminaries—Longfellow, Chaucer, Borges, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Monteverdi, Michelangelo, Blake, Dalí—and even a few modern video game designers. Despite Dante's enduring influence on the arts, however, most of us today have only a vague notion of what his work actually says—both literally and symbolically (which, of course, is of great interest to Robert Langdon). A few years ago, I became very excited about the prospect of writing a contemporary thriller that incorporated the philosophy, history, and text of Dante's timeless descent into The Inferno.
Q. Where did do your research for Inferno? How long did you spend on it?
A. Researching Inferno began with six months of reading, including several translations of The Divine Comedy, various annotations by Dante scholars, historical texts about Dante's life and philosophies, as well as a lot of background reading on Florence itself. At the same time, I was poring over all the new scientific information that I could find on a cutting edge technology that I had decided to incorporate into the novel. Once I had enough understanding of these topics to proceed, I traveled to Florence and Venice, where I was fortunate to meet with some wonderful art historians, librarians, and other scholars who helped me enormously.
Once this initial phase of research was complete, I began outlining and writing the novel. As is always the case, when a book begins to take shape, I am drawn in unexpected directions that require additional research. This was also the case with Inferno, which took about 3 years from conception to publication.
With respect to the process, the success of these novels has been a bit of a Catch-22. On one hand, I now have wonderful access to specialists, authorities, and even secret archives from which to draw information and inspiration. On the other hand, because there is increased speculation about my works in progress, I need to be increasingly discreet about the places I go and the specialists with whom I speak. Even so, there is one aspect of my research that will never change—making personal visits to the locations about which I'm writing. When it comes to capturing the feel of a novel's setting, I find there is no substitute for being there in the flesh...even if sometimes I need to do it incognito.
Q. What kind of adventure will Robert Langdon face this time? Can you give us any sneak peak at the new novel?
A. Inferno is very much a Robert Langdon thriller. It's filled with codes, symbols, art, and the exotic locations that my readers love to explore. In this novel, Dante Alighieri's ancient literary masterpiece—The Divine Comedy—becomes a catalyst that inspires a macabre genius to unleash a scientific creation of enormous destructive potential. Robert Langdon must battle this dark adversary by deciphering a Dante-related riddle, which leads him to Florence, where he finds himself in a desperate race through a landscape of classical art, secret passageways, and futuristic technology.
Q. What made Florence the ideal location for Inferno?
A. No city on earth is more closely tied to Dante Alighieri. Dante grew up in Florence, fell in love in Florence, and began writing in Florence. Later in life, when he was exiled for political reasons, the longing he felt for his beloved Florence became a catalyst for The Divine Comedy. Through his enduring poem, Dante enjoyed the "last word" over his political enemies, banishing them to various rings of Inferno where they suffered terrible tortures.
The memories materialized slowly . . . like bubbles surfacing from the darkness of a bottomless well.
A veiled woman.
Robert Langdon gazed at her across a river whose churning waters ran red with blood. On the far bank, the woman stood facing him, motionless, solemn, her face hidden by a shroud. In her hand she gripped a blue tainia cloth, which she now raised in honor of the sea of corpses at her feet. The smell of death hung everywhere.
Seek, the woman whispered. And ye shall find.
Langdon heard the words as if she had spoken them inside his head. "Who are you?" he called out, but his voice made no sound.
Time grows short, she whispered. Seek and find.
Langdon took a step toward the river, but he could see the waters were bloodred and too deep to traverse. When Langdon raised his eyes again to the veiled woman, the bodies at her feet had multiplied. There were hundreds of them now, maybe thousands, some still alive, writhing in agony, dying unthinkable deaths . . . consumed by fire, buried in feces, devouring one another. He could hear the mournful cries of human suffering echoing across the water.
The woman moved toward him, holding out her slender hands, as if beckoning for help.
"Who are you?!" Langdon again shouted.
In response, the woman reached up and slowly lifted the veil from her face. She was strikingly beautiful, and yet older than Langdon had imagined—in her sixties perhaps, stately and strong, like a timeless statue. She had a sternly set jaw, deep soulful eyes, and long, silver-gray hair that cascaded over her shoulders in ringlets. An amulet of lapis lazuli hung around her neck—a single snake coiled around a staff.
Langdon sensed he knew her . . . trusted her. But how? Why?
She pointed now to a writhing pair of legs, which protruded upside down from the earth, apparently belonging to some poor soul who had been buried headfirst to his waist. The man's pale thigh bore a single letter—written in mud—R.
R? Langdon thought, uncertain. As in . . . Robert? "Is that . . . me?"
The woman's face revealed nothing. Seek and find, she repeated.
Without warning, she began radiating a white light . . . brighter and brighter. Her entire body started vibrating intensely, and then, in a rush of thunder, she exploded into a thousand splintering shards of light.
Langdon bolted awake, shouting.
The room was bright. He was alone. The sharp smell of medicinal alcohol hung in the air, and somewhere a machine pinged in quiet rhythm with his heart. Langdon tried to move his right arm, but a sharp pain restrained him. He looked down and saw an IV tugging at the skin of his forearm.
His pulse quickened, and the machines kept pace, pinging more rapidly.
Where am I? What happened?
The back of Langdon's head throbbed, a gnawing pain. Gingerly, he reached up with his free arm and touched his scalp, trying to locate the source of his headache. Beneath his matted hair, he found the hard nubs of a dozen or so stitches caked with dried blood.
He closed his eyes, trying to remember an accident.
Nothing. A total blank.
Only darkness.
A man in scrubs hurried in, apparently alerted by Langdon's racing heart monitor. He had a shaggy beard, bushy mustache, and gentle eyes that radiated a thoughtful calm beneath his overgrown eyebrows.
"What . . . happened?" Langdon managed. "Did I have an accident?"
The bearded man put a finger to his lips and then rushed out, calling for someone down the hall.
Langdon turned his head, but the movement sent a spike of pain radiating through his skull. He took deep breaths and let the pain pass. Then, very gently and methodically, he surveyed his sterile surroundings.
The hospital room had a single bed. No flowers. No cards. Langdon saw his clothes on a nearby counter, folded inside a clear plastic bag. They were covered with blood.
My God. It must have been bad.
Now Langdon rotated his head very slowly toward the window beside his bed. It was dark outside. Night. All Langdon could see in the glass was his own reflection—an ashen stranger, pale and weary, attached to tubes and wires, surrounded by medical equipment.
Voices approached in the hall, and Langdon turned his gaze back toward the room. The doctor returned, now accompanied by a woman.
She appeared to be in her early thirties. She wore blue scrubs and had tied her blond hair back in a thick ponytail that swung behind her as she walked.
"I'm Dr. Sienna Brooks," she said, giving Langdon a smile as she entered. "I'll be working with Dr. Marconi tonight."
Langdon nodded weakly.
Tall and lissome, Dr. Brooks moved with the assertive gait of an athlete. Even in shapeless scrubs, she had a willowy elegance about her. Despite the absence of any makeup that Langdon could see, her complexion appeared unusually smooth, the only blemish a tiny beauty mark just above her lips. Her eyes, though a gentle brown, seemed unusually penetrating, as if they had witnessed a profundity of experience rarely encountered by a person her age.
"Dr. Marconi doesn't speak much English," she said, sitting down beside him, "and he asked me to fill out your admittance form." She gave him another smile.
"Thanks," Langdon croaked.
"Okay," she began, her tone businesslike. "What is your name?"
It took him a moment. "Robert . . . Langdon."
She shone a penlight in Langdon's eyes. "Occupation?"
This information surfaced even more slowly. "Professor. Art history . . . and symbology. Harvard University."
Dr. Brooks lowered the light, looking startled. The doctor with the bushy eyebrows looked equally surprised.
"You're . . . an American?"
Langdon gave her a confused look.
"It's just . . ." She hesitated. "You had no identification when you arrived tonight. You were wearing Harris Tweed and Somerset loafers, so we guessed British."
"I'm American," Langdon assured her, too exhausted to explain his preference for well-tailored clothing.
"Any pain?"
"My head," Langdon replied, his throbbing skull only made worse by the bright penlight. Thankfully, she now pocketed it, taking Langdon's wrist and checking his pulse.
"You woke up shouting," the woman said. "Do you remember why?"
Langdon flashed again on the strange vision of the veiled woman surrounded by writhing bodies. Seek and ye shall find. "I was having a nightmare."
Langdon told her.
Dr. Brooks's expression remained neutral as she made notes on a clipboard. "Any idea what might have sparked such a frightening vision?"
Langdon probed his memory and then shook his head, which pounded in protest.
"Okay, Mr. Langdon," she said, still writing, "a couple of routine questions for you. What day of the week is it?"
Langdon thought for a moment. "It's Saturday. I remember earlier today walking across campus . . . going to an afternoon lecture series, and then . . . that's pretty much the last thing I remember. Did I fall?"
"We'll get to that. Do you know where you are?"
Langdon took his best guess. "Massachusetts General Hospital?"
Dr. Brooks made another note. "And is there someone we should call for you? Wife? Children?"
"Nobody," Langdon replied instinctively. He had always enjoyed the solitude and independence provided him by his chosen life of bachelorhood, although he had to admit, in his current situation, he'd prefer to have a familiar face at his side. "There are some colleagues I could call, but I'm fine."
Dr. Brooks finished writing, and the older doctor approached. Smoothing back his bushy eyebrows, he produced a small voice recorder from his pocket and showed it to Dr. Brooks. She nodded in understanding and turned back to her patient.
"Mr. Langdon, when you arrived tonight, you were mumbling something over and over." She glanced at Dr. Marconi, who held up the digital recorder and pressed a button.
A recording began to play, and Langdon heard his own groggy voice, repeatedly muttering the same phrase: "Ve . . . sorry. Ve . . . sorry."
"It sounds to me," the woman said, "like you're saying, 'Very sorry. Very sorry.' "
Langdon agreed, and yet he had no recollection of it.
Dr. Brooks fixed him with a disquietingly intense stare. "Do you have any idea why you'd be saying this? Are you sorry about something?"
As Langdon probed the dark recesses of his memory, he again saw the veiled woman. She was standing on the banks of a bloodred river surrounded by bodies. The stench of death returned.
Langdon was overcome by a sudden, instinctive sense of danger . . . not just for himself . . . but for everyone. The pinging of his heart monitor accelerated rapidly. His muscles tightened, and he tried to sit up.
Dr. Brooks quickly placed a firm hand on Langdon's sternum, forcing him back down. She shot a glance at the bearded doctor, who walked over to a nearby counter and began preparing something.
Dr. Brooks hovered over Langdon, whispering now. "Mr. Langdon, anxiety is common with brain injuries, but you need to keep your pulse rate down. No movement. No excitement. Just lie still and rest. You'll be okay. Your memory will come back slowly."
The doctor returned now with a syringe, which he handed to Dr. Brooks. She injected its contents into Langdon's IV.
"Just a mild sedative to calm you down," she explained, "and also to help with the pain." She stood to go. "You'll be fine, Mr. Langdon. Just sleep. If you need anything, press the button on your bedside."
She turned out the light and departed with the bearded doctor.
In the darkness, Langdon felt the drugs washing through his system almost instantly, dragging his body back down into that deep well from which he had emerged. He fought the feeling, forcing his eyes open in the darkness of his room. He tried to sit up, but his body felt like cement.
As Langdon shifted, he found himself again facing the window. The lights were out, and in the dark glass, his own reflection had disappeared, replaced by an illuminated skyline in the distance.
Amid a contour of spires and domes, a single regal facade dominated Langdon's field of view. The building was an imposing stone fortress with a notched parapet and a three-hundred-foot tower that swelled near the top, bulging outward into a massive machicolated battlement.
Langdon sat bolt upright in bed, pain exploding in his head. He fought off the searing throb and fixed his gaze on the tower.
Langdon knew the medieval structure well.
It was unique in the world.
Unfortunately, it was also located four thousand miles from Massachusetts.
Outside his window, hidden in the shadows of the Via Torregalli, a powerfully built woman effortlessly unstraddled her BMW motorcycle and advanced with the intensity of a panther stalking its prey. Her gaze was sharp. Her close-cropped hair—styled into spikes—stood out against the upturned collar of her black leather riding suit. She checked her silenced weapon, and stared up at the window where Robert Langdon's light had just gone out.
Earlier tonight her original mission had gone horribly awry.
The coo of a single dove had changed everything.
Now she had come to make it right.
Chapter 2
I'm in Florence!?
Robert Langdon's head throbbed. He was now seated upright in his hospital bed, repeatedly jamming his finger into the call button. Despite the sedatives in his system, his heart was racing.
Dr. Brooks hurried back in, her ponytail bobbing. "Are you okay?"
Langdon shook his head in bewilderment. "I'm in . . . Italy!?"
"Good," she said. "You're remembering."
"No!" Langdon pointed out the window at the commanding edifice in the distance. "I recognize the Palazzo Vecchio."
Dr. Brooks flicked the lights back on, and the Florence skyline disappeared. She came to his bedside, whispering calmly. "Mr. Langdon, there's no need to worry. You're suffering from mild amnesia, but Dr. Marconi confirmed that your brain function is fine."
The bearded doctor rushed in as well, apparently hearing the call button. He checked Langdon's heart monitor as the young doctor spoke to him in rapid, fluent Italian—something about how Langdon was "agitato" to learn he was in Italy.
Agitated? Langdon thought angrily. More like stupefied! The adrenaline surging through his system was now doing battle with the sedatives. "What happened to me?" he demanded. "What day is it?!"
"Everything is fine," she said. "It's early morning. Monday, March eighteenth."
Monday. Langdon forced his aching mind to reel back to the last images he could recall—cold and dark—walking alone across the Harvard campus to a Saturday-night lecture series. That was two days ago?! A sharper panic now gripped him as he tried to recall anything at all from the lecture or afterward. Nothing. The ping of his heart monitor accelerated.
The older doctor scratched at his beard and continued adjusting equipment while Dr. Brooks sat again beside Langdon.
"You're going to be okay," she reassured him, speaking gently. "We've diagnosed you with retrograde amnesia, which is very common in head trauma. Your memories of the past few days may be muddled or missing, but you should suffer no permanent damage." She paused. "Do you remember my first name? I told you when I walked in."
Langdon thought a moment. "Sienna." Dr. Sienna Brooks.
She smiled. "See? You're already forming new memories."
The pain in Langdon's head was almost unbearable, and his near-field vision remained blurry. "What . . . happened? How did I get here?"
"I think you should rest, and maybe—"
"How did I get here?!" he demanded, his heart monitor accelerating further.
"Okay, just breathe easy," Dr. Brooks said, exchanging a nervous look with her colleague. "I'll tell you." Her voice turned markedly more serious. "Mr. Langdon, three hours ago, you staggered into our emergency room, bleeding from a head wound, and you immediately collapsed. Nobody had any idea who you were or how you got here. You were mumbling in English, so Dr. Marconi asked me to assist. I'm on sabbatical here from the U.K."
Langdon felt like he had awoken inside a Max Ernst painting. What the hell am I doing in Italy? Normally Langdon came here every other June for an art conference, but this was March.
The sedatives pulled harder at him now, and he felt as if earth's gravity were growing stronger by the second, trying to drag him down through his mattress. Langdon fought it, hoisting his head, trying to stay alert.
Dr. Brooks leaned over him, hovering like an angel. "Please, Mr. Langdon," she whispered. "Head trauma is delicate in the first twenty-four hours. You need to rest, or you could do serious damage."
A voice crackled suddenly on the room's intercom. "Dr. Marconi?"
The bearded doctor touched a button on the wall and replied, "Sì?"
The voice on the intercom spoke in rapid Italian. Langdon didn't catch what it said, but he did catch the two doctors exchanging a look of surprise. Or is it alarm?
"Momento," Marconi replied, ending the conversation.
"What's going on?" Langdon asked.
Dr. Brooks's eyes seemed to narrow a bit. "That was the ICU receptionist. Someone's here to visit you."
A ray of hope cut through Langdon's grogginess. "That's good news! Maybe this person knows what happened to me."
She looked uncertain. "It's just odd that someone's here. We didn't have your name, and you're not even registered in the system yet." --Ce texte fait référence à l'édition Broché .

Some simple reasons.
It is fast, multiple as for the point of view, very dynamic, sliced into so short chapters that have a high taste of TV series with some of them sliced up a second time like split hair that we are confronted to a scattered jigsaw puzzle. I don't really like that kind of massive loaf of bread chopped up so thin we don't have time to assess a situation before it is already gone, since there never – or nearly never – is a fully developed situation. Just tit bits you have to sort out and assemble the way you want if you are not particular about the story line, or the way you can or should if you want to keep up with some story line.
At the same time the story is multiple with many points of view and that gives a real dynamism to the tale that a more consistent or continuous story telling technique would not necessarily produce, would even very probably not produce. Especially when you know it all plays on the eyes that are used to see a character and speak about her or him, the eyes of another character, and not always the same. Some kind of inner voyeurism from one voyeur into another voyeur who pays the same homage to the first one: reciprocal and crisscrossing voyeur's points of view. One of these voyeurs is struck by some important loss of memory and some other characters are just superficially identified by this or that momentary and transient voyeur, mostly Langdon who is under complete delusion due to his loss of memory, but several others too.
Then the story is complicated.Lire la suite ›
In my opinion, this fiction is excellent. But why did I give it only 4 stars? I am waiting for the new coming story from Dan Brown.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
In May of this year I was contacted by a collection agency that identified itself as calling on behalf of CTU Online. It said it was trying to collect a debt of approximately five thousand dollars that I allegedly owed to CTU. Not having attended CTU since Fall of 2006, I challenged this debt and retained an attorney at my present school. The attorney contacted the collection agency with an order to turn over all evidence of the debt that I owed. The collection agency never replied. The attorney then recommended that I contact a credit agency such as Trans Union to see if the debt was recorded on my credit report, and I found that it was. The attorney contacted Trans Union, challenging the debt. In July I received a letter from Trans Union saying that the claim had been deleted from my credit report.
This was the consequence for my having attended CTU Online. I hope this helps if you are thinking about attending this online college.

Have you ever suffered from "headline fatigue"? It's caused by too much exposure to anxious, sensational headlines that the ill-informed believe drives stock prices. The headlines de jour were typified by one that read "Deal or No Deal? Stocks Fall as Skepticism Rises Over Europe". As we approach the ECB meeting and Friday's EU summit, the question investors worry about is whether the Central Banks will print trillions to save the day. Another worrisome headline reads, "Risk on/risk off and Moneyball Economics" written by the MarketWatch editors. The gist of the article is, "If Europe's leaders manage to reestablish confidence in their respective sovereign bond markets, then it's "risk on" and commodities and lower quality, more speculative stocks, should do phenomenally well. "But if we have another setback — say, if a major piece of reform legislation gets torpedoed by squabbling among Euro nations, or a botched referendum — then it's 'risk off' and you'd better be in cash." So pessimism is back on the table, and the question is, what's it all about and what should investors do?
Climbing a "Wall of Worry"
In the almost 40 years that I've been a stock investor, I've seen this situation dozens of times. A "Wall of Worry" is a euphemism for programmed volatility. It's the old "two steps forward and one step backward followed by two more steps forward". The key word in the paragraph above is "forward", which is the predetermined direction that stocks will be going for the time being. Just look at this five-day chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average:
A picture paints a thousand words, and you can see the "dance" and the direction. It's what the Market Mavens are calling for and have decided, and so we will see more of the same in the next few weeks. There may be some occasional "unexpected surprises" or a couple of big pull-backs. But the stock market action since the end of November is clear. For now, the market averages will "Climb a Wall of Worry" which will be followed by a rousing version of "Happy Days are Here Again" and the accompanying rally. How to Play This Kind of Market Action
There are three major "responses" that are appropriate and usually profitable. First, buy the dips. Accumulate more of what you believe are the best performers. I've been doing that with the precious metals producers, and Tuesday was an encouraging day with one of my bigger holdings, Hecla Mining (NYSE:HL), up 10% in a day. On dips, I'll be accumulating one of the "value bargains" of the precious metals sector, AuRico Gold Inc.(NYSE:AUQ). AUQ engages in the exploration, development, and production of gold and silver mines and projects in Mexico. The company was formerly known as Gammon Gold, Inc. and changed its name to AuRico Gold Inc in June, 2011. Recently, it acquired Northgate Minerals. With quarterly revenue growth of 101% and a 66% gross margin, AuRico Gold is definitely the best of the smaller gold producers in my opinion and others as well.
Second Response: Don't be afraid, and if you want to be cautious, then buy some cash-generating companies like International Paper (NYSE:IP) or Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) after one of those pull-backs. Jim Cramer spoke about this response on his "Mad Money" TV show Tuesday. I'd recommend you watch the segment and sift through the script for the "good stuff". Cramer spend a great deal of time talking about Carrizo Oil & Gas (NASDAQ:CRZO). Overall he's touting it as a "Growth and Takeover" story that's riddled with risk. More conservative investors may prefer solid, profitable, dividend-paying companies like ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP), selling at 9 times earnings and paying a 3.6% dividend. Pengrowth Energy Corp (NYSE:PGH) is a Canadian energy company paying 7.7% that was also endorsed by Cramer on his Tuesday show. One of my personal favorites is Devon Energy (NYSE:DVN), which seems very cheap at less than 6 times current earnings and a 1% dividend that may be raised soon. With a 44% Operating Margin and a 46% Profit Margin, Devon fits the description of a "cash-generator," and has close to $7 Billion in cash now. Learn about them and study their annual report and news releases by clicking here.
Third Response: When the market gets too "frothy" and over-bought, do like the Oracle of Omaha suggests and "...sell when everyone's greedy". Take your profits and run, especially with stocks that are selling at rich multiples and have been driven higher by unattainable expectations. It seems more obvious with every passing day that the markets have been programmed to the old "climb a wall of worry" pattern of movements. Recognizing this pattern and responding responsibly (unemotionally) can mean that investors are in a season of "sowing and reaping" that can bring desirable results.
Consider the three responses mentioned in this article and the examples of stocks that can be considered for a "Climbing a Wall of Worry" period of time. One last thought. If you're a speculator and want to benefit (or take on more risk) from the potential financial bailouts and printing of money to save Europe, consider a company like ABB Ltd.(NYSE:ABB), which is another "cash-generator" and pays a 3.6% dividend. It has many products and services which keep the cash flowing. See their site. ABB is a Swiss company that provides power and automation technologies for utility and industrial customers worldwide. If the ECB and EU summits offer encouraging solutions or even big, temporary cash injections, companies like ABB will rally.

There is a shuttle parking lot up the street from the campus and it's free. There are always spaces available in this parking lot. In contrast, the parking lots on campus require a permit. I payed $99 for a whole school year, and there are always spaces available. The farther parking lots have more spaces available, but since the campus is small nothing is too far.
As many students complain about parking at all colleges, La Verne is the same, the parking is not a total nightmare, but at times its difficult to find a spot. Planning ahead and arriving a half hour early has always worked perfectly for me.
i havent had too much trouble finding a parking spot everytime ive gone. and i have yet to buy a parking permit
Parking on campus is usually a pain. But we do have a lot that is off campus and a shuttle service.
The parking isn't the easiest when you.re running late for class, however the free shuttles do make it easier to find parking.
