How a Millionaire's Brain WorksPosted by Robin Bal under Humor , Lighter Side
[184] Comments
A man walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for the loan officer.
He told the loan officer that he was going to Philippines on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan.
Then the man handed over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the title and everything checked out The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.The bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the guy for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.Two weeks later, the guy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.
The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000″.
The millionaire replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return"
Well thats how the rich stay rich, they know a lot more about Money Management. All the millionaires I have met in my life were penny wise. Look after your cents and the Dollars will look after themselves.

Hey Robin,
Thanks for the laugh but it is true thats how the millionaire mindset works. They are quick to find out the best deals and are not afraid to act on it to enjoy the benefit!

This is off topic, but hey, I love your new header.
It's not perfect. But then, let me put it this way: "Perfection is boring." You always remember a person with a scar on his cheek.
Plus, you never have to be perfect to love or be loved.
You get what I'm trying to say!

Check and cover every ground and reap every possible merits and profits … that's the distinction between the mindsets of millionaires and the non-millionaires. BTW, I'm re-reading Harv Eker's Secrets of Millionaire Minds and still believe I got a long way to go. How we think becomes how we say and that transform to how we act. Continuous doing leads to habit. For millionaires, it's just a habit to prosper at every available opportunity.

Thanks Robin, good laugh.
Now we know a millionaire's life is not just about fast cars and lifestyle. They clearly won't stay millionaires if that's all they care about. At the expense of appearing cheap (sometimes), they do go for the best deals in town.
Now we all know where to park our Ferrari when we own one 😉

Clearly this is true.
Every bank I know requires you to bring in your collateral so that they can secure it during the duration of the loan.
Much easier than placing a lien on the title
Miss Cellania Says:

Its a great story no matter who the protagonist is. It kinda glosses over the fact that banks don't actually take custody of collateral.

This story says more about your willingness to use an urban myth to "prove" the rich think differently than the rest of us – than actually demonstrating how the rich think.
The upper-classes think no differently than the rest of us. Many are more self-confident – but wouldn't you be if you didn't have to worry where your money was coming from?
Wealth comes from being born into the right family, luck, hard work, and more dumb luck. It has very little to do with thinking differently.

This is a very old story; while there can be doubts about the authenticity, the plausibility is not in question at all.
The story is of a time the millionaire was _visiting_ NY and was going off on a two-week vacation. So, it is indeed very plausible.

Actually this story does make sense. I mean, think about it. Obviously he owns a house and a garage, but this story doesn't reveal the location of his home.
He drove to New York from his home, wherever that is, and is flying from New York to Philippines for 2 weeks. Now he needs to find a place in New York to park his car while he's gone.
Then he thinks about it and chooses the bank. Brilliant story.

Cute story. Unrealistic though. First off, that person probably owns their own place with a garage if they have that sort of money in New York. (If it were on the west coast, he would have several garages for much less money). Secondly, the interest rate doesn't seem correct. But hey, who knows… maybe that high of collateral allows a lower interest rate? Intriguing though. Though currently I am studying to become a Teacher so the chances of having that sort of money are long in the distance 😛

Ted Lemon Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 2:31 am
Well, let's see. The loan probably took about an hour. Two weeks parking in Manhattan costs what, $280? So you're saying that millionaires think their time is work less than $280/hour? GMAFB.
The fact is that millionaires don't think like this at all. First of all, they don't own Ferraris – those are owned by people who are in debt, and by people who think of a million bucks as pocket change. Millionaires tend to drive sensible cars that are cheap to insure, because *that* saves money, and you don't have to worry about them being stolen.
People whose wealth increases think in terms of "how could I take this money and get more money for it later." And "how can I spread my risk so that when this dumb idea doesn't pan out, I don't lose my shirt."
What this kind of thinking does is to help people who are never going to be millionaires to be satisfied with their lot in life, because "millionaires are cleverer than me, and that's why they're rich, and I'm not." If you actually want to be a millionaire, that kind of thinking has to go. You have to believe that it's possible.
Of course, becoming a millionaire is a good way to waste your life, but that's another story.
Chris V Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 2:35 am
Interesting story, but I disagree with the conclusion. Not all of the rich are financial geniuses or even penny-wise. People such as Paris Hilton are the exact opposite. Those types either have so much money that they could never spend it all or they have smarter people than themselves managing their money, people who aren't necessarily wealthy themselves.

It's true the rich are a bunch of penny pinchers, but this is more of a scam artists type of thing. Low profit, and what guy would trust his 250,000 car just to save 50 bucks on parking.
It's a funny joke though, but it's clear that the person who wrote the joke doesn't think like a millionaire, because as I said whats the tiny parking fee to a guy who's tires cost like 10k a set or more. The wear the random employee who drove it to the parking garage put on it alone wouldn't be worth the savings. Who do you trust to drive your 300+ horse power car and then not fuck around with it while you're gone ?
Rich people live lavishly and parking your car in some place like that isn't lavish or posh at all, it's some kind of white trash lottery winner scam. Haha I showed you. I lent your company my quarter million dollar car so I could save on parking … yea.
If the guy was a real penny pincher, how did he ever manage to buy suck an overpriced car?
bill Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 4:04 am
This would never work. No bank would ever impound your car like a pawn shop would. The bank would keep your title and tell you to drive your car somewhere else. When you repay the loan they give you the title back. If you skip, you can't sell the car without the title. This urban legend doesn't work!!!!
GDog Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 4:11 am
Very funny
But in real life banks charge loan fees and early payoff charges and the like. You cannot really borrow $5k for $15.
solrac Says:
September 15th, 2007 at 4:19 am
The millionaire thinks in terms of TIME, not MONEY. Once you have enough money, time quickly becomes far more valuable than money.
Would a millionaire rather pay $15.41 cents to the bank for the 2 weeks parking (loan interest) — or $475 for two weeks in some private garage?
Well, if the loan process took 1 hour (waiting in line, filling out forms, etc.), but the private garage deal took 5 minutes (including a ride to the airport), the millionaire would most certainly opt for the private garage. Yes he would pay about $457 MORE for the garage, but those 55 minutes are worth FAR MORE than a measly $457.
Anything less than a few thousand dollars is petty cash to a millionaire. Anything less than 50 – 100 thousand dollars is petty cash to a billionaire. At the petty cash level, all purchasing decisions are governed by time. That is why a millionaire will pay seemingly exorbitant amounts of money for simple little things. It saves them TIME. And if you save enough time per day, it adds up to MILLIONS of dollars worth of time.
The mindset in which you discover a way to park a car for two weeks for $15, regardless of how much time it takes to do it is the mindset of a POOR person. Poor people always have to find cheaper ways to get things done even though those ways may take HOURS longer. Poor people lose so much time, and to them, money is far more valuable than time.
Also, it is a very bad choice to trade a $250,000 piece of collateral for a $5000 loan. What would happen in the event of a major disaster? What if the millionaire had an enemy who hacked into his bank accounts and stole all his money? (Or something else more plausible?) What if that 0.001% chance of tragedy happened? Well then the guy loses his car. If he had paid for the private garage, he could have at least recovered it right away and sold it. (The bank may pay the guy the difference in this case, but I'm not sure about that, and it would probably be much more of a hassle anyway.)
Millionaires spend MORE money, not LESS. They spend more to save time, and they spend more to get TOP CLASS service. A millionaire won't look for a deal in Vegas, for example. He'll spend lavish amounts of money on entertainment, but he'll get EVERYTHING: High roller status, 15 women hanging off his arms all night, full bar, penthouse suite, etc. He might even DOUBLE his expense, and put the doubling amount on black, and gain a 48% chance of winning that, and getting the whole affair for free.
If the millionaire is rich enough, he'll quadruple his bet if he loses at first. If he loses a second time, he'll octuple his bet. Eventually he'll win.
He starts with a $25,000 bill for the weekend. He puts another $25k on black. 50k total. He loses. He'll then put another 50k on black (100k total.) He loses. Even if he loses two more times, and puts down $400,000 on black, and wins, he just won all his money back and got the $25,000 weekend of fun for free. (Actually he probably would get PAID to have all that fun, because he would've bet a few thousand dollars higher, e.g. $55,000 instead of $50,000, so that he doubles that extra amount when he wins.)
A poor person might take a lifetime to vacation to 25 different places in the world. A millionaire could hit all those spots in 1 or 2 years, and have more fun every time. Therefore, the lifetime experience of a millionaire is 25 – 50 times more than a poor person. (E.G. a 50 year old poor person = 2,500 year old rich person.) However the rich person is also 50 years old… he just has the life experience of a 2,500 year old poor person. (Meaning it would take 2500 years for the poor guy to have as much experiences as the rich guy did in 50 years.)
Basically life is miserable poor when you see how much the rich can do. The life of a poor person is like an 800 baud modem whereas a rich person's life is like a DS3 connection.
I'm poor (compared to the rich) and working, investing, and thinking every day to become rich. It's miserable in the meantime. The only thing that keeps me going, and keeps me happy, is watching videos of Darfur, horrible accidents (like Christopher Reeve), Katrina, etc. etc. Watching those things reminds me how lucky I am just to be healthy, have a decent job, and decent life. But I must work every day to become a millionaire because life is just a shadowy, sparse, brittle thing compared to their lives…

Cute story. It also demonstrates the art of making a deal. You usually have to present it so that the other party feels like they are taking advantage of you because most people are more interested in that than in a win-win deal.

2. *Reason showing why I spend my time on blogs all day instead of talking to other human beings.
3. *Reason number three proving I spent the time to think of three reasons to prove how much of a loser I am.*

The only problem with this whole story (well, there are many, but the glaring problem) is that when you give the bank something for collateral, THEY DON'T TAKE IT UNLESS YOU DON'T PAY YOUR LOAN! A mortgage is essentially giving the bank your house for collateral. Is the teller at the local Citibank living in your dining room? No. How many of you have car loans? You are still driving your car, right? They aren't sitting in the garage at GMAC financing headquarters?
So, cute story, but entirely fiction.

Of course the story is made up!
The banks here don't have underground parking. Some of the BUILDINGS do, and they cost a fortune. Surely the bank would have passed along the cost of parking, and valet services, taxes, and a hefty profit!

I heard this story before and it came from a poor, clever Filipino who dreams to be a multi-millionaire some day. Funny as it is but it is purely fictional(considering all the flaws)and was created to carressed someone's ego or personal satisfaction.

"He starts with a $25,000 bill for the weekend. He puts another $25k on black. 50k total. He loses. He'll then put another 50k on black (100k total.) He loses. Even if he loses two more times, and puts down $400,000 on black, and wins, he just won all his money back and got the $25,000 weekend of fun for free. (Actually he probably would get PAID to have all that fun, because he would've bet a few thousand dollars higher, e.g. $55,000 instead of $50,000, so that he doubles that extra amount when he wins.)"
I worked at a casino for a couple of years and saw plenty of people try that strategy and end up losing all their money when they lost a few times in a row.

I knew I was spending too much money to park my car. I could have used that money for smarter investments..
Thanks to you, now I know how to do it. The only question is whether my local bank, with this 'bailout' scam, will have enough money to give me a loan of even $3,000 for my brand new Lamborghini.
Also, I will be able to immediately know whether someone is a millionaire or not by simply asking him/her where he/she parks his/her car!!! That's very useful.
Your article points to the fact that there is a VAST difference between the WAY millionaires think and the 'way' poor people think.
And it was worth reading it. GREAT work!

For seven years, a miser-millionaire rented a room from us. One night at dinner he revealed that the gloves he wore were ones he found along the curb. Here is my reaction and then his explanation of his philosophy, as found in my memoir of our years togther- "Strictly A Loner: My Life and Times with Plattsburgh's Poorest Millionaire" :
"I was speechless. I'd never heard of anything so cheap in my entire life. I laughed so hard I could barely breathe while cognitive dissonance sparked across his face. Soon, he just shrugged and chuckled as I continued my fit. Finally, I wiped the tears from my eyes and asked, "What time is it, Earl? Our clock's broken." He didn't have his glasses on, so he just held out his wrist so I could look at it myself. I read the time, but that's not all.
"Earl!" I broadcasted. "You're wearing a ROLEX!"
Again, confusion flashed across his face. Apparently, it never occurred to him that owning a Rolex and gleaning gloves from the curbs of Plattsburgh were wildly inconsistent actions in anybody's book. To the contrary, Earl proceeded to instruct us that it genuinely was his only timepiece option. That Rolex had lasted since he retired in 1966, clearly the best use of his money. "Why, it's only cost me thirty cents a month to have this watch," he declared. "If you buy a $20 watch, it breaks in two years and that's 83 cents a month. You've lost fifty cents a month, that's six dollars a year." We learned that Earl reckoned the value of each thing by its lifespan and its cost per month, per day, per use, per gallon, per serving, per pound, per wear, per bite."

Since when do bankers keep your collateral with them? The collateral is always the paperwork (ownership documentation) that they keep copy of and when you fail to repay the loan, thats when they come and reposes your collateral.
If that's how bankers do it like in this story, then bank parking lots will be filled with cars they given loans for… hahahaaa!!

I want to ask one question. Which bank keeps your Car or Land as a security. They just ask the properties' documents, Car's registration document and Land's registration documents. They will not keep your assets, may be they keep your gold. I like the sense of imagination but it is illogical. If Banks keep our car as a security. I am sure at least 50% cars of a country were in Bank's garage 😀

A Boones Creek Middle School student was taken into custody and charged Monday with having three weapons on school property.
"We received a call from the school that a student had a weapon," said Leighta Laitinen, Washington County Sheriff's Office chief operating officer.
"He had a BB handgun, a pocketknife and a leather wrist band with metal spikes," she said.
Laitinen said the gun was located in the boy's backpack, he had the knife in his pocket and the wristband was in his locker.
Jim Murphy, Washington County assistant director of schools for attendance and discipline, said other students apparently saw the weapon and reported it.
"The way we found out was the kids in school told us something was in the school that shouldn't be there. Several students went to principal and reported it. Evidently the young man was making it known," Murphy said.
Laitinen said the report on the incident does not indicate if the gun was loaded or if the boy had any intent to use the weapons while at school, but Murphy said he was told there were no BBs in the gun.
"It did look realistic," Laitinen said about the gun.
For now, the seventh-grader is not allowed back to school. Murphy said there will be a hearing on the issue within 10 days of the incident.
"Students now are really learning they want their school safe and they deserve a safe school," he said. "When something in the school that creates a hazard they tell us."

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - A Davenport woman who fled police in a stolen car with four children inside has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and probation.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/TcFjgw) that 22-year-old Alexis Nicole Robinson was sentenced Monday in a Cerro Gordo County court.
Sheriff's deputies say Robinson fled when police tried to stop her in August. Deputies discovered the car was stolen and gave chase. Authorities say Robinson twice rammed patrol cars in her attempt to get away.
Four children, ages of 1 to 4, were in the car during the chase. No one was injured.
Robinson had been charged with car theft, child endangerment and other counts. In a deal with prosecutors, Robinson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of driving a car without the owner's consent.

Because of continuing foreclosures and the difficulty would-be homebuyers have obtaining mortgages, 15 percent of U.S. homes were vacant in the fourth quarter of 2008, according to the Census Bureau. If you own one or more of them, it might be a good time to consider making extra money by jumping into the home rental business.
But if you're new to the rental game, make sure you understand the rules so you can reap the rewards.
Running a successful rental business is not difficult, but "sometimes people underestimate what's required," says Robert S. Griswold, author of "Property Management Kit for Dummies." Here are some things to consider before opening the doors to your first tenant.
Know What to Expect: Every would-be landlord likes the idea of extra money coming in to cover mortgages, but don't forget about other costs associated with the rental business. As a landlord, you'll be expected to make repairs that you might have overlooked if you were living in the home, such as a door hanging off of its hinges or miniblinds with broken slats. You'll also need to save money to cover the mortgage when you're between tenants.
Landlords also need to know the going rates of rents in the neighborhood and keep track of them as they rise so you can charge your tenants accordingly. Many owners fail to do that, Griswold says. Then they realize they're charging tenants far less than the going rate and anger them by suddenly raising the rent. "You're better off giving them small increases every year," Griswold says.
Landlords also need to factor in the costs associated with getting the home ready each time you're preparing it for a new tenant, such as advertising, painting, making minor repairs and replacing the carpets. Finally, you'll need to set aside money for emergencies, such as the need to consult an attorney if a tenant breaks the lease. While most of these fees are potential tax deductions as legitimate business expenses, you'll need to have the money available when the costs come up so that you can keep the business running. Organizations such as the National Association of Independent Landlords are a starting place to get up to speed.
Learn Fair Housing laws: The Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, which falls under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, is responsible for making sure that all Americans have equal access to housing. As a landlord, if you discriminate against potential tenants or treat some tenants differently from others, you can be charged with violating the Fair Housing Act.
Not only could you get in trouble for failing to rent to somebody based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex or family status, but you could also be in violation if you simply try to impart your views on your tenants. For example, "If you rent a property and two guys show up as a couple, you can't say, 'I don't think that's appropriate,'" says Griswold. "That's none of your business."
Housing providers are also responsible for making some accommodations for people with disabilities. While the Office of Fair Housing says homeowners don't have to do anything that would cause undue financial burden, you may have to allow tenants to make certain modifications at their expense, such as being able to install a ramp.

We wrote a popular series of posts last year on how to ace Palantir on-site interviews. However, this advice does you no good if you don't make it past the first hurdle: the phone interview. In this post, I'd like to give you some simple tips to maximize your chances on the phone interview.
The tips in this section will seem trivial, but you'd be surprised at how many candidates mess up the basics. It'll be much harder for you to show us how awesome you are if you don't do these things:
For the most part, you'll be asked a coding and an algorithms question. We've written guides on each, so check out The Coding Interview and How to Ace the Algorithms Interview. You'll find that a lot of the advice for on-site interviews also helps you when you're on the phone.
Here are some tips specific to phone interviews:
After you're done with the technical part of the interview, your interviewer will ask you if you have any questions. Don't worry about asking the right questions or the wrong questions—this is your chance to find out about what interests you. We often get asked about what Palantir does, what we work on individually, what it's like to be a new engineer at Palantir, and how our internship program is structured, but don't limit yourself to these topics!
After you're done with the interview, we typically get back to you very quickly—a week or two at the latest. We may ask you to do another phone interview, or we'll bring you on-site. If you don't hear from us, don't hesitate to reach out. Good luck and happy interviewing!

U.S. Cost Advantage Buoys U.S. PE Exports
9:26 AM MDT | July 31, 2007 | Peck Hwee Sim
Robust polyethylene (PE) exports from the U.S. Gulf are expected to prop up operating rates in North America, and lend momentum to a third price increase this year, of 5 cts/lb for June, market players say. Rising international prices resulting from relentless increases in naphtha feedstock costs and healthy PE demand in export markets, boosted PE exports from the U.S. Gulf to a record high during the first quarter, producers say (CW, May 9, p. 51). "Everybody in North America is exporting," says Jeff Lipton, president and CEO of Nova Chemicals...

July 30, 2015
BRYAN, Texas -- Prosecutors rested Thursday in the Bryan trial of a man accused of abducting and killing five people in 1983.
The victims had been at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Kilgore.
Darnell Hartsfield of Tyler faces life in prison if convicted of five counts of capital murder. Prosecutors chose to not seek the death penalty.
The judge says Hartsfield's defense will begin Monday.
Prosecutors have built a circumstantial case against Hartsfield to try to tie him to the restaurant.
Testimony indicates DNA tests on blood from a box found at the restaurant identified Hartsfield as being at the site.
Defense lawyers have questioned the reliability of evidence taken from the crime scene and how it's been kept secure.
Hartsfield's cousin, Romeo Pinkerton, accepted a plea bargain last year in the killings and agreed to five life prison terms.

Posts tagged 'platelet donation'
How to give back: Save a life – donate blood or platelets
The second in a series about how to give, and give back, during the holiday season ...
This time of year brings holiday cheer to many people across the nation, but for hospitals and blood donor centers, such as City of Hope's Michael Amini Transfusion Medicine Center, it's the start of a tough season.
Not only do people take breaks from school and work during the holidays, many also take a break from donating blood and platelets to hospitals. Blood and platelets donations are needed year-round, said Kasie Uyeno, City of Hope's blood donor recruitment manager, but they're especially critical during the holiday season.
"The need for blood does not take a holiday," Uyeno said. "It's always there."
Patients at City of Hope rely on more than 37,000 units of blood and platelets each year for their survival.
Currently, the Amini Center brings in about 22,300 units of blood and platelets yearly— which is not nearly enough to meet the hospital's needs.
"The need is always higher than what we have," Uyeno said.
During the months of November and December, the need is even higher because during those months, blood and platelet donations drop around 25 percent, she said. » Continue Reading
For maximum impact, donate blood platelets – and save three lives
Drives for blood donations are a common occurrence, but platelet apheresis — in which the platelets are filtered out of the bloodstream for donation — is considerably less well-known. City of Hope hopes to change that.
The blood-clotting components are essential to cancer patients being treated with a bone marrow transplant.
"Platelets are the lifeline for our patients during their transplants," said Kasie Uyeno, manager of City of Hope's Blood Donor Recruitment Program. "Until the new marrow engrafts and starts producing blood cells and platelets, the patients are dependent on transfusions … some require multiple platelet transfusions every day for weeks."
Maintaining a supply of platelets is not easy. Unlike other blood products that can be chilled or frozen, platelets have to be stored at room temperature; this gives them a notoriously short shelf life of five days.
Given City of Hope's stellar reputation in hematology and bone marrow transplants, it's no surprise that there is a continuously high need for platelets. » Continue Reading

"I put my hand up through its gills and grabbed him by the tail," Opel remembers. "I'm fighting hard. I got him pinned up against the rocks, and finally I get him out of the water — and that's when I seen how big he was. I didn't know what to do."
Holding the fish in a bear hug, his bow dragging behind him, Opel sprinted to the top of the levy's steep embankment and dropped the whale of a carp, exhausted.
"The arrow stuck in his head came out his mouth and jabbed me in the kneecap and ripped a hole in my jeans," Opel recalls.
He drove the fish to his father's house and then to a certified scale at a grocery store in his hometown of Worden, Illinois. The bighead carp weighed in at 92 pounds, 8 ounces. It had a girth of 30 inches and was more than five feet long.
Chapman says it is the largest carp ever caught by a recreational fisherman in the Western Hemisphere.
Pulling into a bar in Edwardsville, Illinois, Opel is easy to spot. He sits in his monster-truck-size Ford, its back windows plastered with stickers from a half-dozen hunting and archery associations, along with the emblem of his local heavy equipment operators' union. Wearing a blue camouflage cap, a flannel shirt and a goatee, he looks like a supersized version of Larry the Cable Guy.
Once inside, Opel describes how the giant fish changed his life. Every local television network wanted a piece of the story. Says Opel: "The first one I called was Channel 4. I asked 'em, 'Are you going to send me Virginia Kerr?'"
The Associated Press later picked up the tale and it appeared in hundreds of papers from Los Angeles to London. His phone rang off the hook for two weeks, mostly from old friends wanting him to take them bowfishing. Equipment manufacturer Cajun Archery (sponsors of Aim Low Productions) agreed to give him free gear.
The equipment, he says, is the best thing that ever happened to him.
"You got that saying: When your hunting and taxidermy bills are above your yearly income, you know you're a redneck. Well, I'm like, 'I'm there,'" Opel says, pointing two thumbs at himself. "I put a lot of money into it."
Like all the bowfishers interviewed for this story, Opel is an outdoorsman in the most extreme sense of the word. His hunting season never ends. He traps raccoons, coyotes, bobcats, and bow-hunts everything from elk and mule deer to wild hogs and bears. He particularly enjoys traveling to Florida to bow-hunt alligators, which he's done every year since the state legalized the sport in 1988.
"I try to dissuade people from [shooting alligators with rifles] because to me that just isn't any fun," Opel says. "The fun is fighting him, getting on his turf, getting the shit scared out of you. I've been hunting gators for twenty years, and they still scare the shit out of me."
As for his record carp, it's still at the taxidermist's shop. The thought of eating the mammoth catch never even crossed his mind, because Opel, ironically enough, is allergic to fish. One bite and his throat swells shut in anaphylactic shock.
"That's why I tell everyone I make the ultimate fishing buddy," Opel beams. "You get to keep and eat everything I catch."
Throughout the Midwest, there are owners of private ponds battling the onslaught of Asian carp. There are city officials fighting the same infestations in their lakes. It doesn't look good. Who are they going to call? Carpbusters.
Founded in 2004, Carpbusters is the brainchild of Robert Rice, a 46-year-old property developer from Joplin. For years Rice was an active member of the Native Fish Conservancy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the habitats of indigenous fish species.
Fed up with what he perceived as inaction by the group toward the carp problem, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He created carpbusters.com, a website that connects people with carp problems in their local waterways with teams of archers itching to slaughter thousands of them in an afternoon. Groups as far away as Minnesota now use the service.
"We've had tournaments where we removed ten tons of carp from a lake," boasts Rice. "The only reason we didn't remove more was we couldn't afford the Dumpster fees."
His vigilante plan was not well received by the Native Fish Conservancy or by animal-rights activists who loathe bowfishing. "In the conservation world, harvesting large numbers of animals is a taboo topic," says Rice, describing his group as "the wild side" of conservation. "Well, unfortunately, we've asked the carp nicely to leave and they haven't."
As for Carpbusters' effectiveness at eradicating the invasive fish, Chapman, the geological survey's carp expert, says the plan only works in the smallest bodies of water. "They do target the larger fish, which produce a larger volume of eggs," he says. "But ultimately, it's a small part of the overall answer."
Chapman maintains that the only way to put a dent in the number of Asian carp is to make the fish more lucrative for commercial fishermen. The current market price for Asian carp is about ten cents a pound, causing most commercial fishermen to empty their carp-filled nets on the banks of the river and fill their freezers with a more valuable catch, like catfish.

It marked Roush Fenway's 13th runner-up finish, to go with four victories at the 'Tricky Triangle". Biffle used the strong run to move back inside the top-10 in the NASCAR Sprint Cup point standings.

These guys are just a little bit faster. We drove really hard to day and had great pit stops to work our way up there, but we are certainly looking forward to next week."
RFR's Carl Edwards, who started on the outside the front row and led nine laps early, finished 18th. Rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished 26th in his NASCAR Pocono debut.

Bar Refaeli may just be the luckiest woman in the world. Not only does she have a booming modeling career and a great bod, she has Leonardo DiCaprio as her man!
In the issue of L'Isha magazine, Bar admits that her half-year breakup with Leo was really rough, but it was a great learning experience. Here are some highlights from the interview:
On their six-month break:
"It was a half year for which I am very grateful. I needed it. I came to understand a lot of things about myself. I worked on myself [and] I grew up. I didn't know what 'alone' was like. Today I know that a relationship can work only if you know you can be alone and you are not afraid. Today I'm not afraid of being alone."
On the engagement rumors:
"I'm not thinking about getting married. I'm still young, not yet 25."
On no PDAs at basketball games:
"No one needs to know how we kiss."
On not attending red carpet events with Leo: "I am there for him and I am at all the events. . . I just don't walk in hand-in-hand with him. I don't see any reason. I don't need to strike poses with him in front of the cameras."

Memphis, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Conley corralled a Monta Ellis miss with seven seconds remaining in overtime and took off the other way.
Like a running back, he put his head down, tried to split four Mavericks on a drive to the basket and drew a foul.
Conley hit the subsequent free throws with 1.1 seconds remaining in overtime Wednesday to lift the Memphis Grizzlies to a 106-105 win over Dallas that clinched them the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
Following a Dallas timeout, Ellis, who scored 14 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, hit the back of the rim on a jumper from the top of the key at the buzzer.
"It felt good, but it didn't go down," Ellis said.
Memphis (50-32), which began the season 13-17 while dealing with a plethora of injuries, finished 37-15 and will face the second-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.
The Grizzlies knocked off the Russell Westbrook-less Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals last season before getting swept by San Antonio in the West Finals.
Zach Randolph had 27 points and 14 rebounds, Marc Gasol tallied 19 points, nine boards and nine assists and Conley added 22 points and five helpers in the triumph.
"Getting 50 wins is something you want on your resume as a player, and people remember those. Those are special seasons. It's a standard, a golden standard I think," Grizzlies head coach Dave Joerger said.
Dallas (49-33), meanwhile, will clash with their in-state rival Spurs in the first round.
Dirk Nowitzki netted a game-high 30 points in defeat.
Devin Harris hit a jumper to stake Dallas to an 86-80 advantage with 7:58 left in the fourth, but Mike Miller capped a 9-2 flurry with a triple for an 89-88 Memphis edge with 3:20 to go.
A Randolph steal and layup gave the Grizzlies a 93-90 lead, but Ellis swished a right wing 3-pointer with 13 ticks on the clock to send the game to an extra session. Randolph missed a step-back jumper at the other end and Courtney Lee turned the ball over on the ensuing inbounds.
The tilt was tied 102-102 before Nowitzki rose and nailed a left wing triple with 46 seconds showing. Tony Allen's putback layup with 31.4 seconds on the clock cut the deficit to 105-104.
Earlier, the Grizzlies led 29-24 after a quarter of play, but Dallas outscored them 29-22 in the second and took a 53-51 edge into the break.
Memphis held a 75-73 advantage after three.
There were 16 ties and 15 lead changes ... The Grizzlies held a 58-42 points

Police are advising women not to place their purses in their shopping carts after two women had their wallets stolen while shopping at Oak Creek grocery stores last week.
According to the Oak Creek police reports:
A man stole a wallet out of an 80-year-old woman's purse while she was shopping at Pick 'n Save, 6462 S. 27th St., about 3 p.m. Jan. 26. The woman told police the man took the wallet out of her open purse after he helped her load a six-pack of water and some Solo cups into her shopping cart.
The man is described as a 6-foot-tall man with light brown skin; short, dark hair and a grayish goatee; and wearing a dark tan jacket. The wallet, worth about $9, contained a driver's license, medical cards, a credit and debit card, a $25 gift certificate and other membership cards.
Police checked with store security but the incident was not captured on video surveillance.
A short while later a woman reported her wallet had been stolen at Woodman's, 8131 S. Howell Ave., between 1:30 and 3 p.m. The wallet, which contained $25, four credit cards, two debit cards, one check card, a driver's license and medical cards, was taken from a shopping cart.
While calling to cancel one of her credit cards at 4:30 p.m. that day, the bank informed the victim that her card was being used at Lowe's in Franklin. An officer followed up with Lowe's, who stated that no one was working in security at that time. Police are following up with store security.
Oak Creek Community Resource Officer Kim Bogadi added that women should consider leaving their purse at home when they shop.
"Before you go shopping, think about the only things you will need - like your debit card, a credit card or some cash," Bogadi said, "then take only those things with you and leave your purse at home."

WORCESTER, Mass. – A total of 13 shots on net were taken, but no goals scored as they Holy Cross women's soccer team played to a 0-0 stalemate with UMass Lowell on Tuesday evening at the Linda Johnson Smith Soccer Stadium. The Crusaders move to 2-8-4 on the season, while the River Hawks advance to 0-13-1 overall.
Holy Cross had multiple opportunities to score during the contest, but could not find the back of the net. In the 16th minute, Crusader junior midfielder Gina Righini (Salem, N.H.) drove a shot from the right side, but UMass Lowell goalkeeper Jane Hatzikonstantis made the key save. The Crusaders would launch five more shots on net during the first half, could not get any past Hatzikonstantis. The Crusaders held advantages in shots (15-0) and shots on goal (6-0) during the first stanza.
The second half proved to be more balanced, but the Crusaders continued to gain scoring chances. Holy Cross sophomore forward Annie Galvin (Attleboro, Mass.) had a chance in the 64th minute, but it was stopped. In the 87th minute, sophomore midfielder Megan Greineder (East Greenwich, R.I.) ripped a shot on net, but it was pushed away by Hatzikonstantis. With just under two minutes left in regulation, Galvin found herself alone in the box with the ball, but the River Hawks' back line kicked the ball away before she could launch the point blank shot.
In the overtime periods, the Crusaders kept up the pressure. Holy Cross senior defender Gaby Ransom (Concord, N.H.) had a shot on goal at the end of the first overtime and also a shot on net to begin the second extra session, but could not slip it past the goalie. UMass Lowell had a chance to end the game in the 103rd minute, but the shot from the middle of the box sailed over the net. The Crusaders would get two more shots on net in the last overtime period, but could not get any by Hatzikonstantis, as the two squads remained tied after 110 minutes of action.
Hatzikonstnatis made 12 saves in the contest, as Holy Cross freshman goalkeeper Brooke Holle (Upper Saddle River, N.J.) made one save and earned her first career shutout in her first collegiate start. The Crusaders held advantages in shots (30-3), shots on goal (12-1) and corner kicks (13-2). Greineder and Ransom led the Crusaders with three shots on goal apiece.
Holy Cross returns to action on Friday, Oct. 18, when it will host Navy at 7:00 p.m.

The fact that English is spoken so widely leaves us lagging behind in the global skills market
The fact that English is spoken so widely leaves us lagging behind in the global skills market
by Tessa Holland Published
For most people, Lost in Translation is little more than a slightly surreal, disjointed film that marked the beginning of Scarlet Johansson's career. However, for me it is a way of life. Let me explain.
I work as a correspondent for the London bureau of Japan's largest news agency, Kyodo News. I cannot speak Japanese and I have never set foot in Japan. Even after two years in the post, the cultural differences - of the variety that thrust Johansson and Bill Murray together - still astound me on a daily basis.
I write for the English language service, so having a written fluency in Japanese would not dramatically change my role. However, as one of just two English faces in an office of Japanese people, it is bizarre that having the ability to speak business-level Japanese, conversational Japanese, or even to say "hello" in Japanese was not a prerequisite for the job.
The definition of "translation" refers to expressing the sense or meaning of something but, even when this art is employed, it is amazing how much can get lost or misinterpreted along the way. So why do I not speak Japanese, even if only to understand the office gossip?
Research done on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills in 2001 revealed that, of all the "off-the-job" training provided by employers in England, only 4 per cent fell into the category of foreign languages. It was the least invested in skill (health and safety came top). When British employers were questioned about the general lack of job-related training compared to their European counterparts, they stated that employees were recruited with all the required skills and that further training would not produce any benefits for their business .
Who decides when enough learning has been done and on what grounds? Surely the nature of learning is to achieve and develop; a potentially infinite, evolving process with clear advantages. So why is it that, as adults, we often lose the desire to acquire new skills and knowledge that we possess so forcefully as children? Sadly, particularly when it comes to languages, it is laziness, combined with a lack of time (and perhaps money), as well as an absence of immediately tangible benefits that stop us enrolling on that language course. And then there is the arrogance factor.
When I tell people what I do and who I work for, people invariably ask, "Oh, do you speak Japanese then?" It irks me to say "no" because I feel the acknowledgement places me among that group of Brits abroad that takes pride that the whole world, it seems, can speak English, while their linguistic ability extends to being able to order beer and swear in nine different languages.
A lack of motivation
I chose to learn shorthand above a language because of the obvious benefits to my career. If I was going to commit to a language, without slighting Japanese, it would be the widely-spoken Spanish. However, if I am honest with myself, until I am in a situation where using English is not an option, I will continue to lack the motivation not to speak it. Ironically, it seems this prevalence of English spoken across the world may leave Britain lagging behind in the global skills market.
The government is paying a considerable amount of attention to the world's two fastest growing economies of China and India. Perhaps it follows that the solution is to train our next generation in competitiveness by making Chinese or Hindi compulsory in school. Australian children, until recently, learned French; they now learn Japanese. Equally, if more worth was placed on linguistic abilities in youth then they would not be so easily dismissed in adulthood. It is a long time since Britain was a colonial superpower; assuming the whole world can speak English should be an excuse of the past.
As the multi-culturally aware HSBC adverts demonstrate, the newest tools in fast-speed hi-tech business are almost useless without one of the oldest skills known to humans: communication. If we take instruction from the bank, it would be a welcome future to see the English not lost in translation, but lost in Linguaphones.

Super stiff (09-10 Season Boot)
BOA Focus System (two BOA knobs) is so rad--the rest of the boot is merely good. It's incredibly stiff--even after about 20 days in them, they were still rubbing my right ankle in bad places. I'm going to swap the liners out with the liners from my old boots to see if it makes a difference this year.
If you're looking for a stiff, well built BOA system, these are your boots. Maybe look elsewhere if comfort is the biggest issue for you.

Equipment: Citrus Juicers
After some serious testing on carnitas the other week, I found myself with a fridge full of juicy, crisp pork and nobody to eat it. The simple solution: Call over some friends, make a few pitchers of really strong margaritas, and call it a fiesta. Our normal MO is for me to take charge of the kitchen, while my wife takes care of making sure everybody's drinks are topped up, which in this case meant squeezing 40 limes and 20 lemons for the margaritas. A pretty large feat for such a small woman.* It got me to thinking whether it was time to upgrade my citrus juicer. More
