Digital Fortress
Digital Fortress is a techno-thriller novel written by American author Dan Brown and published in 1998 by St. Martin's Press. The book explores the theme of government surveillance of electronically stored information on the private lives of citizens, and the possible civil liberties and ethical implications using such technology.When the United States National Security Agency's code-breaking machine (TRANSLTR) encounters a mysterious and ingeniously complex code called Digital Fortress that it cannot break, Commander Trevor Strathmore calls in Susan Fletcher, a brilliant, beautiful mathematician and their head cryptographer, to crack it. She discovers that it was written by Ensei Tankado, a former NSA employee who became displeased with the NSA's intrusion into people's private lives. Tankado intends to auction the code's algorithm on his website and have his partner, "NDAKOTA", release it for free if he dies. Essentially holding the NSA hostage, the agency is determined to stop Digital Fortress from becoming a threat to national security.
Synopsis
When Tankado indeed dies in Seville, Spain, of what appears to be a heart attack, Strathmore sends David Becker (Susan's fiancee) to Seville to recover the ring Tankado was wearing when he died. The ring is rumored to have the code that unlocks Digital Fortress. However, he soon discovers that Tankado gave the ring away immediately before his death. Each person that Becker questions in the search for the ring is murdered one-by-one by Hulohot, a mysterious assassin.. Read more in [My Corner]
The Da Vinci Code
The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery-detective fiction novel written by American author Dan Brown. It follows symbologist Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu as they investigate a murder in Paris's Louvre Museum and discover a battle between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over the possibility of Jesus Christ of Nazareth having been married to Mary Magdalene.The title of the novel refers to, among other things, the fact that the murder victim is found in the Denon Wing of the Louvre, naked and posed like Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man, with a cryptic message written beside his body and a pentacle drawn on his stomach in his own blood.
The novel has provoked a popular interest in speculation concerning the Holy Grail legend and Magdalene's role in the history of Christianity. The book has been extensively denounced by many Christian denominations as an attack on the Roman Catholic Church. It has also been criticized for its historical and scientific inaccuracy.
The book is a worldwide bestseller that sold 80 million copies as of 2009[update][1] and has been translated into 44 languages. Combining the detective, thriller, and conspiracy fiction genres, it is Brown's second novel to include the character Robert Langdon, the first being his 2000 novel Angels & Demons. In November 2004, Random House published a Special Illustrated Edition with 160 illustrations. In 2006, a film adaptation was released by Sony's Columbia Pictures.

NASA's new Polar Orbiting Density Scanner (PODS), part of the Earth Observation System (EOS), a collection of satellites monitoring the globe for signs of large-scale change, has found an extremely dense spot in the Milne Ice Shelf. At this spot NASA discovers a very dense meteorite. In it are fossils of bugs very similar to, but not the same as, species on earth. NASA claims this as proof of extraterrestrial life..

Angels & Demons

Angels & Demons is a 2000 bestselling mystery-thriller novel written by American author Dan Brown and published by Pocket Books. It revolves around the quest of fictional Harvard University symbologist Robert Langdon to uncover the mysteries of a secret society called the Illuminati and to unravel a plot to annihilate Vatican City using destructive antimatter. The book uses the idea of a historical conflict between science and religion, particularly that between the Illuminati and the Roman Catholic Church.
The novel introduces the character Robert Langdon, who is also the protagonist of Brown's subsequent 2003 novel, The Da Vinci Code, and 2009 novel, The Lost Symbol. It also shares many stylistic elements with its sequel, such as conspiracies of secret societies, a single-day time frame, and the Catholic Church. Ancient history, architecture, and symbolism are also heavily referenced throughout the book. A film adaptation was released on May 15, 2009, though it was set after the events of The Da Vinci Code film, which had been released in 2006.

Missin' DET of AruaRose
There was no doubt for real that gaming had been a great part of my life. There are times that i find myself going back and quitting after a few days. I felt i had outgrown being and living online. Recently i had been in this huge confusion whether to go back or visit and let this longing simply pass. I miss RoseOnline and everything about my AruaRose life.I started playing Roseonline many years back, those times i was still in the Philippines and the games ruling RPG was Ragnarok. My boyfriend (exbf now) played this game and i joined him. Later on i was the one who 'd grown more addicted to it that i play even in wee hours of the night after my shift or even before i take calls. (I was working in a call centre)
I left Aruarose about 2 years now but i felt still attached to the game somehow. I made friends in there and long time buddies which i have known even back in Prose (Sirius) was playing in Arua too. Two years back my decision to leave the game was mainly to fulfill the changes i have promised myself because Aruarose was taking too much of my life.
I was HIRAIA.
DET. Dont Even Trip was my last clan in Aruarose before i left the game. I also have my own clan which i keep for my own characters and farmers. Chic and SweetHeart.
DET was the strongest clan i have ever joined in AruaRose.
elisha is a scout who stayed at 208 for universal boss farming.
Hector is the sub cleric. Amaziah my raider. Hiraia my DET cleric.
:( I dont play anymore butsometimes i really miss the game. The addiction. But at times i feel thankful.. I almost lost my life online and i made it out. I was lucky.
Gaming is not bad. Just get yourself a nice set of priorities and stick to it. Set the gaming a few steps from the last. You will be fine. Enjoy. :)
I highly recommend AruaRose. I have tried other games. There's no one closer to it.
PLAY ARUAROSE . Long Live Don't Even Trip !
