Minn Kota® Talon™ Shallow Water Anchors
- The ultimate weapon in the battle for boat positioning
- Made of marine-grade extruded anodized-aluminum
- Vertically deploys the spike without fish-spooking noise
- Indestructible spike is guaranteed for life
- Lightning-fast deployment with the push of a button
- 2X anchoring force
- Rough water mode
- Built-in wave absorption
- As easy to install and adjust as a trolling motor
- Space-saving, lightweight design
- Versatile adjustments
- LED Depth Indicator Deployment Notification Alarm
- Standard Wireless Remotes
With lightning-fast deployment at the push of a button, Talon makes every second count.
Fast Deploy -- Talon's spike moves quietly through the water, faster than the competition.
Automatic Deploy -- Auto Up/Down lets you deploy Talon by tapping a button on your wireless remote, so you don't have to hold it down and wait.
Two-Stage Deployment -- Talon utilizes a sequential deployment that quickly and quietly moves the spike vertically, so it causes minimal disruption at the bottom and doesn't interfere with your lines.
No matter the conditions, you can stand your ground with the heavy-hitting, relentless power of Talon.
2X Anchoring Force -- Built with nearly double the force of the competition, so you can power in for the most secure hold on the water.
Auto-Drive -- The Auto-Drive feature powers the spike into the bottom with three successive hits, using increased force on each hit.
Rough Water Mode -- In heavy chop, activate Rough Water Mode, which performs three Auto-Drive sequences at 10 second intervals for an even stronger hold.
Built-in Wave Absorption -- Talon enables your boat to move up or down without affecting the anchor. It works like built-in floating suspension to keep you locked to the bottom, even in rough water conditions
Anchor down without spooking fish, thanks to Talon's quiet design.
Simple Design -- Built with minimal moving parts and no hinge points, Talon starts quiet and stays quiet.
Noise Dissipation -- The innovative design prevents noise from being emitted below the water or through the hull, where the fish can hear it.
Easy Installation
Talon is as easy to install and adjust as a trolling motor.
Built Smart -- Talon's space-saving, lightweight design is easy to install, and doesn't require messy, complicated hydraulic pumps and hoses.
Versatile Adjustments -- A Minn Kota Quick-Release bracket enables Talon to slide up and down or pivot up to 30 degrees; to easily accommodate any transom angle. You can also easily remove it when not in use.
LED Depth Indicator
Track anchor depth at a glance, with LED lights on the unit that quickly show you how far down you're deployed in one foot increments.
Rough Water Mode
When the winds pick up, activate Rough Water Mode, which performs the Auto-Drive sequences at 10 second intervals for an even stronger hold.
Rugged Construction
Each Talon model is built with saltwater-tested corrosion resistance, thanks to a marine-grade, extruded aluminum body.
Deployment Notification Alarm
If you turn your engine on while the spike is deployed, a Deployment Notification Alarm alerts you that the anchor is down to avoid damage.
Standard Wireless Remotes
Two wireless remotes come standard to give you push-button control of Talon from anywhere on the boat.
Minn Kota® Talon™ Shallow Water Anchors 16 16
Great Product I have had my Talons for several years now and they are one of the very best accessories I have ever bought. Easy to use and solid reliable performance. These shallow water anchors have become almost as important to my fishing as my locators. I've read all the reviews here and it seems the biggest complaint is they get stuck in the mud. That happened to me a couple of times but by rocking the boat with the big motor the vacuum around the spike was broken and they came right up. After that, when in the mud, I quit sending them down till they stop. Seems like two feet into the mud holds as well as 6 feet. I couldn't get the Talons to come up one day last week but that was due to a week cranking battery. I changed batteries with my battery switch and the came right up. As for the remote control switches (Fobs), I have never changed a battery yet but will this winter just to make sure a battery doesn't leak and ruin one of my fobs. With the power cord QD's removing the Talon from the boat is a snap and I do so every time I take a long out of state trip with my boat cover on. I have never tried it but I don't think getting a power pole off of your rig could be as easy. If the Talon's height is a problem for you, install the tilt brackets. They allow you get under any bridge or culvert your boat motor will clear. Additionally, when I tow without my boat cover I use the tilt brackets. I'm sure Power Poles are great units too but they have different space and mechanical requirements and for that reason I chose the Talons. The only complaint I have is with Talon's deployment alarm. This alarm sounds if the ignition is turned on and the anchors are deployed. The alarm is so highly pitched I can never hear it. Granted my hearing isn't great but high frequency sounds are the first to go so why use a high frequency tone? I will be installing new 12' Talons this winter and already have a buyer for my original 8' Talons. August 20, 2014
Johnson outdoors is the best I purchased my first unit used, I sent it to them they repaired it, did some upgrades for 130.00 shipping and all. Installed the unit and fished 5 tounaments from scotsbrough, al to ks, tx and never looked back. the unit did get stuck in the mud a couple of times but it was rough weather. I was going across kentucky lake from paris landing to new johnsonville (about 50 mins) taking on a 25-30mph s. wind 3-5 footers the entire way got to where I was going to fish and went to tallon down and the talon was not there, the bracket had broken. I called minn kota (johnson outdoors) and was just going to let them know what happened..and to be on the look out for this problem, that was it I did not expect a replacement nor did I ask for one....The one I had was used to begin with.... 4 days later the UPS man shows up with a brand new talon and a pre paid shipping label. to ship the bracket back to them. I called them and asked what was up and this is what they said "We are very sorry that your unit failed and we are commited to our customers and quality products, please enjoy your new talon". I was so pleased with Johnson outdoors I purchased another talon for the otherside of the boat. In short I do not think you could ever go wrong with johnson outdoors, they have always be very helpfull, friendly. August 7, 2014
Handy To Have It's great to have and use when you are shallow enough to use it and are fishing a spot meticulously. It's also great when you have to retie your bait and don't want to drift too far from your fishing area or have to do double duty on the trolling motor when you retie. It even works good to put the boat on shore and anchor to keep it in place. July 15, 2013
Have had it just over a year It was replaced after a few months after it stuck in the down position by BPS. Several months later in the shop for repairs, stuck down again. Once repaired after a few months it is now back in the shop stuck down again. I love the fact it doesn't have all the hydralics the Power Pole has, just wish it didn't break down so often.

Do I need a special mounting bracket?

A:If you have a jack plate it would be good to get the universal mounting bracket. Bass Pro Shops carries it. It is anywhere from $229-$269. The Universal jack plate bracket is easy to install and can be made to do about anything you want to do with it. It can be used on either port or starboard sides. If you don't have a jack plate you would need a sandwich bracket that goes between the motor and transom. It would be a much harder install with resealing bolts etc.

A:Talon makes a tilt bracket that lets you fold your Talon down inside your boat. Its a must have.
A:The Talon will stick up about 2 foot above your out board motor. The overall hight will depend on how high your trailer runners have the boat bottom off the floor. On 8'4" models installed 4" up from bottom of hull they should be 5'4" from bottom of hull.

A:First, you can buy a mounting plate that allows it to be tilted 30 degrees for going into and out of the garage. If that's not enough you can raise and lower it quite a bit with no tools. If that's not enough you can take it completely off easily with no tools.

A:The Talon has great holding power. I use mine on the Calcasieu and Sabine Rivers in southwest Louisiana. These rivers are affected by tides. When I put my Talon down it holds me firmly in place in heavy current.
A:Doubt it will hold, way too many rocks on the bottom and it will not penetrate enough to hold you in the current, it will just drag down the river

We were celebrating my 60th birthday and I searched many Eureka Springs B&B sites before deciding upon Heart of the Hills Inn and selecting Gabriel's Apartment. The more modern Parisian theme and warm color tones are so much more my taste and the room photos just "spoke to me". The breakfasts were awesome and we found ourselves anxiously awaiting our surprise gourmet breakfast indulgence each morning. David is a terrific cook and each day's 4-course breakfast was a special start to each day - and delivered to our room right on time! I especially liked the in-room microwave, refrigerator, coffee pot with wide selection of coffee/teas, and popcorn (I'm a popcorn-aholoic). We availed ourselves of his DVD library several times and thoroughly enjoyed popcorn and a movie in our room! The in-room jacuzzi was relaxing and held the water temp well. While we were here in the cooler winter months, having a fan above the bed would be a requirement for us in a summer stay. I don't think that was listed in the room amenities on the site and important to know for other fan lovers. The bedroom was a bit small but no major issues. For TV watching one of us would sit on the bed against the headboard and put a dining room chair at the foot of the bed for the other. The gas fireplace on the wall at the foot of the bed was really neat, especially just for the mood lighting ("flames" and back-lighting too) when heat was not needed. Our stay was so very wonderful and the best birthday celebration I have ever had!!! The B&B and the great time exploring Eureka Springs were just perfect and I found myself quite sad to be leaving. We will be back (maybe make it an annual event?) and looking forward to experiencing other rooms at the Heart of the Hills Inn!

I can only say this place is my favorite B&B I've ever visited. I will be staying here anytime I visit eureka. The bed was the comfiest bed I've ever had the pleasure of sleeping on and now must convert my home bed to match this one. It stays with the vibe of eureka with a neat history. Possibly haunted.... Weird moments where the picture on the table would turn to face where my husband happened to be sitting. Strange but kinda cool at the same time, never had something like that happen before. Anyway heart of the hills stole my heart and we will return.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Heart of the Hills Inn. David was an excellent host, and his breakfasts were top-notch! We enjoyed having breakfast right in our suite. The inn is close to the downtown area but nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The only down side was the lack of a shower; there was a jacuzzi tub with hand-held shower. A bit awkward, but manageable.

Our room was clean, nicely furnished and styled, the Innkeeper is friendly and helpful, and our breakfast was wonderful...again. Our room felt very romantic and private. Breakfast is served privately in your room which is great. I'm sure we'll be back again! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mini-getaway. It's very relaxing.

We stayed in the Summit Suite for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. The room was even better than we expected (the photos don't do it justice!). The bed was a dream. The breakfast was like nothing we've ever had before. Friendly, non-invasive service. The Innkeeper has a true gift for hospitality (and cooking)! We will definitely be back.

Welcome to After Psychotherapy, an online mental health resource for those who may have begun their journey of self-discovery during psychotherapy and want to continue along that road now that their treatment has ended. As any good therapist would do, the posts here aim to bring you closer to those parts of yourself outside of awareness: emotions you'd rather deny or avoid, conflicts you'd prefer not to confront. The opinions and guidance offered here are no substitute for psychotherapy, however; if you find that you need to consult a professional, you might want to read my post on "Choosing a Therapist" first, by clicking on this link.

"I used this card for a Thank-you card for my husband's golf theme 60th birthday party. I used a picture of him showing up for the surprise party after completing a golf game. I put 60 on the flag and included his name on the side and wrote a thank-you note across the bottom instead of using it as an invite. The product is once again of high quality and so I was thrilled to send them out. Quite a few of our friends and relatives have commented on the great thank-you card they had received and a few have asked where I got them from, which again I share Tiny Prints information."
"Best quality paper, quick response from the people working on the invitation. Lots of choices to choose from. Great all around."
"The invitation turned out beautifully. I loved the colors and design. Your designers helped with the text. I was just great."
"I paid the small fee for the actual review, and customized the colors with bright pink/yellow to go with the Fantastic First stickers and address labels. The review came back quickly and was exactly what I wanted - and I received my order quickly, too. Super satisfied with the quality (as always - I always have been with this company and have ordered several times through them), and the customer service was outstanding. ::happy customer::"

Mother of the Sea
Every year in Uto, a remote town at the Southern tip of Japan, a festival is held to celebrate a woman known locally as the Mother of the Sea. Dr Kathleen Mary Drew-Baker died without knowing her research would save the Japanese seaweed industry and lead to a world multi-billion dollar obsession with sushi. The story of nori in Japan.

How to Endear Yourself to an Asian Woman Writer
Here Be Dragons
People in the US are usually surprised when I say that my Thai mother lives in Ireland. "How did that happen? That's so strange." Strange, and their little laugh that accompanies the statement, are code for their assumptions about the education and mobility of this foreign woman of color, who in this case is my mom. She most recently worked for Salesforce, a fast growing tech company headquartered in San Francisco. When she moved to Singapore it was to work for Intel, another large tech company. She is ambitious and accomplished. She defies the stereotypes. My dad runs up against a different stereotype. That he, a white American man, lives in Thailand is not unusual. White American Men have more world-conquering powers according to a general, Western, unexamined assumption of normalcy.
Here's a box of chocolates; it is your duty to eat them.
People like order in their lives. This does not go down well with those who feel that social restraints of any sort are a bad thing, but these people are a distinct, if very noisy, minority. Most of us want social rules of some sort – not oppressive ones, of course – but rules that govern the way we conduct ourselves towards others. We want people to queue correctly.
We like it when people don't chew with their mouth open. We love it – although we may be cowed into not saying this – when an able-bodied person gives up a seat to somebody who is clearly frailer. Personally, I like it when anybody gives up a seat on a train to anybody else, frail or not. (Novelist Alexander McCall Smith discusses Jane Austen's Emma in The Daily Mail.)

Style Gone Wild: Why We Can't Shake the 1970s
Collectors Weekly: What prompted such radical changes in popular fashion?[more inside]
Lutyens: One reason was that people in the West were becoming increasingly affluent, and this gave young people the confidence to question their parents' values. Because they had money, they could be more independent. Society was also becoming much more liberal as well because you had things like the legalization of homosexuality and the legalization of divorce. People were allowed to be themselves more without being judged by other people.
Then the three main minority movements — feminism, black civil rights, and gay liberation — all these minorities had been marginalized until the late '60s. In the '70s they began to assert themselves more and become more visible. So their style became more visible, and it influenced mainstream fashion.

Why I Refuse to Let Technology Control Me.
"You don't understand, women are holier than men."
"I'm not sure whether it mattered. One young man very kindly said to me, 'You don't understand, women are holier than men.' I said, 'That's rubbish and it doesn't excuse the insult,' and then I added that I spent 13 years in yeshiva and there's nothing he could tell me that I haven't already heard. Then the original man, the one who refused to sit next to me, muttered to another man as he was walking away, 'She doesn't understand.' I said, 'I understand everything, and don't talk to me as if I'm not here.' He ignored me, and all the other men turned their backs and did not respond or even look at me."

It all comes back to fun
When the champion of adult culture is portrayed, even by himself, as an old curmudgeon yelling at the kids to get off his lawn, it suggests that this adult culture is one of the unfortunate but necessary costs of coming into adulthood.

"Although the Civil Rights Act passed the Senate by 73-27, with 27 out of 33 Republican votes, one of the six Republicans who voted against it was Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who weeks later became the GOP's presidential standard-bearer and started the long process by which the Party of Lincoln became the party of white backlash, especially in the South.

Open defecation solves the child mortality puzzle among Indian Muslims
"Hindus are, on average, richer and more educated than Muslims. But oddly, the child mortality rate for Hindus is much higher. All observable factors say Hindus should fare better, but they don't. Economists refer to this as the Muslim mortality puzzle. In a new study, researchers believe that they may have found a solution to the puzzle. And, surprisingly, the solution lies in a single factor – open defecation." [more inside]

Not everyone agrees on the best methods for raising kids. That becomes apparent when you examine the results from the 2010-2014 World Values Survey — 82,000 adults across 54 countries were surveyed to gain a better understanding of what they consider most important when raising a child, whether or not they were parents themselves. PBS NewsHour has an interactive quiz you can take to show which country has values closest to yours as well as a widget to compare the values of any two countries.

Unrecognized state continues to exist anyway
Somaliland is an odd land. In global limbo since its birth, it continues to develop economically and socially in a reasonably stable and secure environment. Recently, the British town of Sheffield was the first to recognize its very existence as an independent country. In the meantime, the capital Hargeisa city, which has only one paved road, recently installed streetlights for the first time, and an enterprising entrepreneur returned home from Australia to start a familiar city service - the yellow cab. Investors and businesses have started paying attention while the major powers still prefer to pretend it doesn't exist. Even while experts debate whether their model can be utilized in far more volatile Somalia, Hargeisa's residents want you to know they are Happy.

Talking gender to Africa
International donors have sought to improve the social, political and economic position of women in Africa through an approach known as "gender". This donor-driven strategy is failing. The jargon of gender programmes is ambiguous and easily misunderstood. It fosters inaction and lip service on the part of patriarchal African governments and civil servants. Gender has become the preserve of the educated elite. The voices of African women have been lost.[more inside]

Last Day for Last Abortion Clinic in the Rio Grande. "Honestly, I think they'll go south of the border, if they have to," said a 23-year-old woman who was one of the last patients to be seen at the clinic and who traveled to San Antonio for her abortion last month. "It's cheaper and it's closer. To go to San Antonio is so much more of a hassle and costs a lot more."

Trusting God
Patrick Henry College has been called "God's Harvard." The tiny, elite school is considered a safe haven for fundamentalist evangelical Christians. It teaches a dominionist "Biblical Worldview" and has a uniquely religious campus culture (pdf) that emphasizes evangelical moral values. Which leaves female students in a particular bind: How do you report sexual assault at a place where authorities seem skeptical that such a thing even exists?
The African Diaspora in the Indian Ocean
Over the course of nearly 20 centuries, millions of East Africans crossed the Indian Ocean and its several seas and adjoining bodies of water in their journey to distant lands, from Arabia and Iraq to India and Sri Lanka. Called Kaffir, Siddi, Habshi, or Zanji, these men, women and children from Sudan in the north to Mozambique in the south Africanized the Indian Ocean world and helped shape the societies they entered and made their own. Free or enslaved, soldiers, servants, sailors, merchants, mystics, musicians, commanders, nurses, or founders of dynasties, they contributed their cultures, talents, skills and labor to their new world, as millions of their descendants continue to do. Yet, their heroic odyssey remains little known. The African Diaspora in the Indian Ocean World traces a truly unique and fascinating story of struggles and achievements across a variety of societies, cultures, religions, languages and times.

In an interview with German television station ARD TV, Edward Snowden has alleged that the NSA is actively engaged in industrial espionage on behalf of US economic interests, targeting German engineering firm, Siemens and other international industrial concerns in its data collection activities, with no legitimate intelligence aims in mind. While the international response to the new allegations is still developing, back home in the US, Snowden has already been accused of disloyalty by US officials on both sides of the aisle, and at least one NSA analyst is on record stating he would personally "love to put a bullet in his head."

It's like that scene from Amazon Women on The Moon...but less funny
On Lulu, women can rate men in categories — ex-boyfriend, crush, together, hooked-up, friend or relative — with a multiple-choice quiz. Women, their gender verified by their Facebook logins, add pink hashtags to a man's profile ranging from the good (#KinkyInTheRightWays) to the bad (#NeverSleepsOver) to the ugly (#PornEducated). The hashtags are used to calculate a score generated by Lulu, ranging from 1 to 10, that appears under the man's profile picture. (The company's spokeswoman declined to explain the ratings algorithm.) Men can add hashtags, which appear in blue, but these are not factored into their overall score. (SLNYT)
"Dwarven society is more egalitarian than… human feudal societies were"
Dwarf Fortress: A Marxist Analysis
What one does in Dwarf Fortress is create a colony of an existing dwarven fortress – you're always sent out as a team from a much larger existing stronghold elsewhere, and your foreign relations with other dwarves are limited to that particular fortress, on the whole. Even though your settlement is independent and self-governing, and the relations with the mother fortress mostly those of trade, the purpose of the game in all its open-endedness can be nothing other than to create oneself in the image of the previous fortress. In other words, fundamentally in Dwarf Fortress you reproduce the existing structure of dwarven society on a merely quantitatively expanded scale.[more inside]

Distance equation
- "It is strange, in my opinion, that the insurance market has evolved so, that so few individuals understand the fundamentals of the medical insurance plans they are insured under."
- Among the 19% polled who are uninsured, nearly four in 10 don't realize the law requires them to get health insurance next year. Among young people, whose participation is seen as crucial for the exchanges to work, just 56% realize there's a mandate to be insured or face a fine.
- Health policy is an extremely personal and complicated topic... Observing historical patterns of attempted healthcare reform and backlash towards these reforms, we may begin to understand what is keeping such a prominent and promising nation from enlisting a social contract of health.

Good Job
In a "third-world" city, a self-styled tour guide might be tipped in return for leading a group of sightseers. In Italy, a Neapolitan street urchin might offer to protect a parked car in return for a gratuity.
In both cases, the inference is clear: if you don't employ me, I will hurt you. This thinly veiled extortion is the subtext to much tipping: if the propertied individual doesn't comply with the demands of the semi-employed, something terrible might happen to them or their things. So tipping began essentially as a way to stave off violence by the indigent, forgotten people; it is a social contract adhered to by the privileged class who fear and disdain the less fortunate and are aware of the failure of their own class to create equity.

"Only fear can stop it. We are the youth of India. We are her voice."
On Tuesday, a court in India convicted four men of "rape, unnatural sex, murder, conspiracy and destruction of evidence" after they brutally gang-raped a woman on a bus in Delhi last December. The woman died two weeks later in a Singapore hospital. When news broke, it sparked protests (previously) and raised awareness worldwide about the plight of many women in India. Now that the verdict is in, the Guardian analyzes the incident to see how "the nation's surge to superpower status has left millions behind struggling on the margins."

States rein in health insurance expenses
USA Today, October 25, 2012
Federal data shows that although government employees enjoy more generous health benefits than private employees, the advantage has narrowed from $1,523 in 2007 to $891 in 2012. Financially strapped state and local governments are saving billions of dollars on health insurance by cutting back on free coverage for employees and raising worker contributions. Public employees are fighting back in court, legislatures, contract negotiations and at the ballot box.

This is the last week to sign up your city's team for the upcoming year of the Pandanet-AGA City League. "We almost have a full roster for this season," reports League Coordinator Steve Colburn. Any information can be found on the rules page or at email@example.com.
A glorious fall day at the Umstead State Park in Cary, North Carolina welcomed the 14th annual Triangle Memorial Go Tournament on September 20. Despite the tranquil surroundings, mental chaos reigned under the picnic shelter as 34 contestants from four states battled through four rounds. The early prediction for a final repeating last year's showdown between the two 7-dan prior champions, but all expectations changed when the top three players all fell in the first round. Ultimately Seth Cardew (at right, in white shirt) of Tennessee, entered as 2-dan, emerged as the Open champion with a perfect score of 4-0, defeating both 7-dans in the process, including an astonishing kill against many-time champion Changlong Wu in the final round (right), taking just two stones, which secured the $500 top prize. Second place went to Liqun Liu 7D at 3-1.
Other prize winners were Justin Blank at 4-0 followed by Anthony Long, both 4k, in Group A, Alvin Chen 10k scoring 4-0 in Group B, and Dale Blann 14k sweeping section C at 4-0 with Ellen Zeng at 3-1. Following long tradition, all entry fees were returned to the players in prizes, augmented by a gift from the sponsoring Triangle Go Group, and all players were treated to lunch and snacks throughout. The tournament was directed by AGA membership coordinator Charles Alden (left), with logistical assistance from Bob Bacon, Paul Celmer and Adam Bridges.

Peter Nelson, a recent arrival to Seattle from Minnesota, was selected for the Seattle 1 Pandanet-AGA City League Team, after winning the Qualifier Tournament at the Seattle Go Center by a narrow margin. Longtime Northwest player Edward Kim placed second at the tournament, with the same win/loss record, and will also join the team. Returning first team members are Simon (Ximeng) Yu, and Ho Son. The Seattle Pandanet-AGA team placed second last August in the A League competition, losing to the team from neighboring Vancouver B.C. The board order for the teams in the online tournament is determined by AGA ratings, so Nelson will probably have the alternate position. Nelson had an AGA rating of 3 dan last month, and has a 4 dan rating at present. However, he won two even games against a 7 dan at the tournament, plus a game against Xiaowu Li, who is a 5 dan in China, so observers expect his rating to continue to improve.
The open tournament was a challenge to both players and Tournament Directors Sonny Cho and Dennis Wheeler. Due to "circular wins" four players had identical records after four rounds, necessitating a playoff round. The tournament lasted 9 hours and some players had five games. In addition to Peter Nelson and Edward Kim, Dong Baek Kim and Xiaowu Li were finalists. This was the first Seattle event for Xiaowu Li, a Visiting Scholar at the University of Washington Law School, and former director of the faculty go club at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Hundreds of people gathered to play Go in Korea's Gwanghwamun Square, on September 21. The event was part of Seoul's Street Without Cars Festival and Learn Go Week. Go fans got autographs from players like Lee Changho, Lee Sedol and Kim Hyojeong, president of the Korean Baduk Professionals' Union. One hundred professional go players played simultaneous games with attendees, including international visitors from the 51 countries participating in the 9th Korean Prime Minister's Cup. Over 1,000 people attended, including many families with children. However, because not everyone played games, the goal of 1,004 simultaneous games was not achieved, and the Guinness World Record – 1,000 players at Take-machi-dohri and Chuo-cho Shopping Streets, Oita, Japan on June 6, 1999 — remained unbroken this year.

I know that I'm going to meet an old person one of these days. It will be down the road in 10, 20 or 30 years. He'll be waiting there for me; I'm catching up with him all the time.
What kind of person do you suppose I'm likely to meet? That's a significant question, it seems to me. He may be an enthusiastic person who has grown old gracefully and is surrounded by a host of clients, associates and friends who regard him as successful because of what his life and its work have meant to them and to others. On the other hand, he may be a bitter, unsuccessful, even cynical old buzzard without a good thought about anything or anybody.
The kind of person I meet depends entirely on me. Actually, that old person will be me. He will be the composite of everything I do, say and think today and tomorrow. His mind will be set in a mold that has been fixed by my attitudes and actions. Every thought — positive or negative — goes into his makeup. That person will be exactly what I make him — nothing more, nothing less. It'Äôs all up to me, and I'Äôll have no one else to credit or blame. Every day and every way, I'Äôm becoming more and more like that old person. That'Äôs amazing, yet true. I'Äôm getting to look like that person, think like that person, and talk like that person.
A good point for me to remember is that things don't always tell immediately, but they do show up sooner than we think. The little things, like attitudes, beliefs, commitments, ambitions, dedication and desire, are so unimportant now, but they all add up inside, where I can't see them, crystallizing in my mind and heart. One day, they will be hardened into that old person, and nothing will be able to soften or change them.
It'Äôs quite apparent to me that the time to take care of this old person is now — today, this week, this month, this year. I need to check on him carefully. I would be smart to work that person over while he still is plastic, still in a formative position. One day soon, it will be too late to make any changes. Hardness will set in, the character will have crystallized, and that will be the last chance for him and for me.

WageWorks And Central Parking Offer NYC Commuters Increased Savings On Parking
NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WageWorks (NYSE: WAGE), the provider of TransitChek commuter benefits, and Central Parking announced today an exclusive program that offers New York City commuters preferred pricing on parking at participating Central Parking locations. This preferred pricing is available only to WageWorks and TransitChek customers enrolled in their commuter benefits program. Eligible participants will be able to save anywhere from 10% to more than 50% off regular rates on monthly parking. These savings are in addition to what commuters can save by using pretax dollars through the use of a WageWorks or TransitChek commuter benefits program, which allows participants to set aside pretax dollars to pay for parking or public transportation.
This program, which was launched on August 15, 2012, is being offered at more than 75 Central Parking locations throughout the New York City metro area and is available to commuters who already have, or sign up for, a WageWorks or TransitChek commuter benefits account. The new program is available exclusively to monthly parkers.
"We believe every employee deserves an easier, less expensive commute. We're thrilled that this program is allowing us to help participants in WageWorks and TransitChek commuter benefit programs keep more of their hard earned money," said Dan Neuburger, President of WageWorks Commuter Services. Manhattan is the most expensive city for parking in the United States, where rates average $541 a month in midtown, according to a 2011 survey by Colliers International.
"We are excited to be partnering with WageWorks and TransitChek on this exclusive offer as it provides commuters with significant savings by bringing together the benefits of the pretax commuter program with a monthly parking program discount," said Rick West, Executive Vice President of Central Parking.Commuter benefits programs have been adopted by thousands of employers nationwide and are used by an estimated 2.7 million employees, according to industry figures published by the coalition Commuter Benefits Work for Us.

New York City's police commissioner says the gunman in the Colorado movie theater rampage had painted his hair red and called himself the Joker - the villain from the Batman movies.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Friday that he had been briefed about the shootings that killed 12 and wounded nearly 60 others at a showing of the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" at a suburban Denver theater.
Kelly and his spokesman did not say who briefed him.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates would not confirm the information about suspected gunman James Holmes, but confirmed he had spoken to Kelly. The two used to work together in New York.

"Required reading if you're in the technology biz"
It is hard to overstate the relevance and importance of the technology adoption curve and the chasm inherent in it introduced my Moore. I read the book in the 1990s. It was finally released on audible just this week. The technology adoption curve speaks to the five classes of adopters: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards. The chasm sits between the early adopters and the early majority. If you want to find out why and how to overcome this potential trap, you are going to have read this fascinating work by Geoffrey Moore.
I have made this required reading for my staff in marketing, sales and software documentation. I have also insisted on individuals starting out in tech read this book especially if they are trying to understand how to craft value propositions. It has something for us old grizzled veterans because it reminds of things we forget or sometimes just don't take the time to do anymore. Sales folks will benefit because it explains why some people buy and some don't. This is one of those books you'll have to have in your library. You should also have a hard copy to make a ton of notes in the margin.
"Good, but predictable"
The series continues with the fifth in the series. This book is all about Judy. We met her in book four as Michael's middle sister. The couple met at the end of book four and we see their relationship move forward in this novel. The novel was good but the foreshadowing was quite heavy handed and you actually saw it coming way far in advance -- what you ask -- well you have to listen.
There were a couple of surprises that Bybee let Judy wield that made the twists and turns interesting and there was a moment or two of high suspense -- Bybee is not really know for her drawn out suspense moments. The narration was good.
All in all, a solid increment on the series. I understand that the next one is due out in April of 2015.
"A Alaskan Home Run -- Must Read"
This novel more than any others has a theme and premise that you will connect with. In this book we learn about the abuse Elena endured during her childhood, how she dealt with it and how she has become a stronger better person. We also get a full understanding of her growth with Clay. I have to applaud Armstrong for delivering a clean, concise theme without coming off preachy. It was believable and uplifting. This book was by far and away her best and, for me, made the series work while.
Unlike other series, by book ten you might be questioning the resolve to continue. I highly recommend that you listen to this book. If you've liked the series so far, this one will keep you listening even after you have arrived at you destination. Jen Taylor does her usual excellent job and delivers great performance.
I am anxious to listen to the next and hope Armstrong continues to belt them out!
"New Blood - Excellent Plot"
We meet Hope Adams in this book. Now Hope is a brand new character in the series and plays the main character. She has a pension for Chaos. Through Hope we learn a lot more about Karl Marsden who appeared in earlier books in not so flattering ways. In this work, he make the full transition from bad guy to good guy.
This series is excellent as the plots vary and keep interest. I like the universe of characters. Armstrong sticks to her theme, premise and does an excellent job of putting a plot around them. I leave it to you to figure out what they are. Jen Taylor's narration is first rate.
It is a excellent next read.
"An Uplifting Story with a little romance thrown in"
Bybee keeps the series new and interesting by changing up the plots in interesting ways. Unlike other series which offer cookie-cutter plots, Single by Saturday is the story of Karen who is a dedicated volunteer to help young teens. The story is about what she is willing to sacrifice for others and a message about how to stand by the people you value in life. Bybee offers example after example of strong support through Karen's actions and the actions of her friends.
This book has romance but more importantly it shows the value of great friends and family and their value. This book is light on the raw romance and more heavy on relationship aspects and the value of individuals' ethics. I give it a thumbs up and I think the series is alive and thriving.
"A Must Read - Fantastic Heart Rendering Shorts"
This book is a collection of short stories. Each story makes its point but leaves you with something to consider. The author does not preach but offers a perspective the each and every main character's POV in each short. This offers us the opportunity to experience the circumstances first hand and unfiltered. Some of the stories are more traumatic than others. There is a touch of gruesomeness of war, but no more than you would find in a Steven King novel and these stories are real. I like the book precisely because it make you think instead of telling you how it is.
Although the narrator is good, the transition from one story to the next sometimes jars you as the narrator switch personas without changing voice. It would have been more effective if there were two narrators alternating each short.
The other thing that will be a little challenging is understanding all of the three letter acronyms. For example FOB mean forward operating base. Luckily I have a good grip on the vocabulary, but for some, you are going to have to use the Internet. My wife, daughter, and boyfriend of daughter are reading it while I listened. It is a part of our book circle. My daughter's boyfriend recommended it and it has been a excellent choice. I would recommend for a club setting. Those you loved Kite Runner may find this book interesting. I give it a thumbs up.
"Series badly needs to change focus"
There are so many things about the novel I do not like, I hardly know where to start. The novel starts with seven pennies against a wall and a shooting -- so far so good. But Cornwell does the same, tired thing, she make this whole novel about her inner circle casting doubt on those close to her. With so much intelligence and abilities in her, Benton, Lucy, and Marino, your would like that she could conjure up a plot line that doesn't have one of her own family suspected of stuff (I won't spoil). You see her laying some groundwork for future additions to the series which is okay. She really needs to get out of this self-doubt kick with Scarpetta and get everyone sharing information with each other taking a nasty as hell crime with intricacies like she has done in the past. A little more depth on supporting cast will do and it would be nice to see the character grow a bit -- okay maybe there was a little in this novel, but we need to see more. This plot is tired -- time for a change.
I love Lorelie King -- but NOT in the Scapetta series. For those of you who know, she narrates the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie is a ditzy comic character. Her voice makes Scapetta sound like Plum and Benton like Joe Morelli -- not a compliment. Go back to having Kate Reading do the narration -- no disrespect to Lorelie King.
Overall, this story is a meh. Try not to be too disappointed, it's worth the credit but I wouldn't rush to listen to it like I did.
"Twists and Tuns in the Pendergast Family Tree"
This novel opens with a surprise on Pendergast's doorstep. This novel explores the Pendergast tree and dig into his history. I liked this aspect. I like that Constance green is back in the picture. The whole series is a modern day Sherlock Holmes series of stories (with many different Watsons). Rene Auberjonis is the long time narrator and does an outstanding performance.
If you have not read any of these novels, you really have a great deal of work ahead of you. I love these novels because they are heavy on thrill and very light on blood and gore. I recommend you read this latest, more of the Pendergast story is always interesting.
"Davidson breathes new Life into Hell"
For the last couple of novels, Davisdson has floundered. But in the last novel she set the stage for a confrontation between Betsy and her sister Laura. In Undead and Unwary, that confrontation plays out. I am please to report that this novel is excellent and a fabulous return to the fun spirited early books which made this series fun. We have a lot to chew on, Betsy matures, Laura doesn't disappoint, Jessica is hilarious, and the aunt and some new friends. Okay, you have to read it for yourself.
Wu does a fabulous job narrating as always. If you are a fan of the series, do not delay as I did. Another thing I liked in this novel was the way Davidson referred to her previous novels like footnotes instead of summarizing what we already knew -- a great device.
Go ahead a chomp it on down. You'll be glad you did.
"Great Feel Good Book - Fresh Plot"
I like the fresh plot. Though the romance formula is in tact, Bybee offers and interesting plot in this second of a series. Also, she does a good job laying the groundwork for follow-ons. This novel is self contained, as was Book 1. This series creates a universe and a set of woman within the universe. After listening to two, it is clear where she is going but I think the plot lines will have enough variety to keep one interested.
As a critique I would liked to have amped up the conflict. I also would have liked to see a little more depth from Eliza -- all in all, a nice listen. Pull up a chair near the fire, surf the web on you iPad and listen away. Eby does a good job narrating. I give it a thumbs up.
"Disjoint Narrative w/Funny Moments Dusted Throuout"
White teeth is about two families: Jones and the Icbals. The setting is England in the 60-90s. the plot follows the early development of the families and how they morph and change. If it sounds boring -- it is. The first half of the novel can be deleted and no one would miss a thing. I suggest you start right half way through if I haven't dissuaded you. The only, and I mean only thing that this novel has is hilarious moments dusted throughout here and there like pigeon droppings. Smith manages to turn a phase with the best of them. I very much liked those parts.
I am sad to say that I didn't feel connected to any of the main characters although a few background characters were entertaining at times. Even the humor couldn't carry this novel over the goal line. If the first part of of the book could be deleted, then the last fifteen minutes covered so much ground I though I was reading a cliff note of a cliff note.
Who is going to like this novel better that I? My guess is young people (in their twenties) who have an off-beat sense of humor and are into quirky and perhaps a bit of satiric humor. If it weren't for the ha-has, I would have given it a one. Although, I admit Goldfinch was brutally worse coming in at zero stars -- so there is that.

The Obama administration and House transportation leaders both grabbed for the wheel of the surface transportation bill yesterday.
Rep. James L. Oberstar put the pedal to the metal while Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood slammed on the brakes.
As the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman rushed to introduce a multi-year transportation reauthorization bill, LaHood called for an 18-month "authorization" that amounts to an extension of the current bill, passed in 2005.
It's a battle for control of national transportation policy in which a Democratic congressman confronts a Democrat in the White House.
So far, Oberstar, 74, a Minnesota Democrat and long-time advocate of transportation reform, shows no inclination to back down and turn the policy keys over to the youngsters who want to call the shots from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Oberstar, who was the ranking member of the minority on the T&I committee the last time a highway bill was passed, wants to reshape the Department of Transportation and set a new multimodal course for transportation policy.
The White House may share that goal, but it sees no reason to rush difficult decisions to meet a Sept. 30 reauthorization deadline. Especially, it opposes any effort to raise the federal fuel tax "in this recessionary period," as LaHood said yesterday.
The House T&I leadership hasn't taken a gas tax hike off the table.
The White House has its own transportation policy goals. Look to the extraordinary linkup between DOT, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Housing and Urban Development this week for clues.
Can they learn to share the wheel? Perhaps, but in policy, as in any vehicle, you can only have one driver at a time.
Should we press ahead with Oberstar and try to pass a highway bill by the Sept. 30 deadline, or take the slower approach favored by the White House? Is there another route that could get us around legislative congestion?
We'd love to hear what you think. Leave your comments below.

Jeff Chery - 3x (Cocaine, Caviar, Conversation)
Artist: Jeff Chery
Producer: Tan Butta Beats
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.6 ( 11 votes )
Don't let the name fool you – there's nothing sweet about Jeff Chery's newly premiered single 3x (Cocaine, Caviar, Conversation). The song starts off with an ominous bell toll, not unlike the opening of 'Pac's Hail Mary so you already know you're in for some pretty dark material. The Freestyle Series alum has some things to get off his chest, and the pounding beat by Tan Butta Beats provides a sparse background that allows the focus to remain on Chery's word play. Not one to hold back or mince words, Jeff Chery makes it clear that he's not in the best position, but he's got ambition to attain the 3 Cs named in the title of the track. While this particular single isn't attached to any upcoming projects, now's just as good a time as any to get familiar with Jeff Chery's previous songs on DJBooth; and believe us, there are a lot.

8 Major Video Games Players Investors Should Watch During E3
Activision Blizzard
What Sterne Agee says: As usual, Activision Blizzard (ATVI) will not be hosting a press conference at E3, but will have a large booth and be hosting investor meetings at the conference. Destiny could have a prominent presence at the booth and be marketed heavily at E3 given its upcoming Sept. 9 launch. The title is expected to be released on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, as well as Xbox 360 and PS3. Sales of Destiny to retail outlets could reach 8 million units this year. Street expectations range from 6 million to 10 million units.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare meanwhile may be highlighted at the Microsoft and Sony press conferences as well as at the Activision booth.
This year's Skylanders title, Skylanders Trap Team, seems quite innovative and will likely have a strong presence at E3. But it will still be important to keep an eye on competing products from Disney (DIS) Infinity and potentially from Nintendo's Nintendo interactive figurines. Another Activision title to keep watching will be its free-to-play PC title Heroes of the Storm.What Enders Analysis's Heloise Thomson says: Destiny is finally going to hit the shelves in the third quarter of 2014 and the campaign behind that is going to be massive. Activision revealed that the development, marketing, packaging and royalties costs for Destiny could reach $500 million, possibly making it the most expensive launch ever for a video game. That would surpass the record $265 million in development and marketing costs reported for the rollout of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto V last year. "It's a gigantic gamble, so you can be sure that everyone and their gerbil will have heard of Destiny before September." 15 million copies of Destiny would need to be sold to reach breakeven, and it's highly possible that, that number will be hit within the first two years of the launch, if not less, as gamers look for something new to break the familiarity of franchises like Call of Duty and Halo.
