Are you suffering from Panic Attack While Driving?
It is possible that you may have panic attack while driving but wouldn't want to admit it. For those who experience it, it is the most debilitating problem they have to deal with. Panic attack while driving is an experience of feeling sudden change in our emotions as if something horrible is going to happen. It may be related to events in our situation, but as well can be without any reason.
If you suffer from panic attack while driving, you will do your best to avoid driving a car. You will start to have faster heart beats, rush of Adrenalin and feeling unsafe while behind the wheel. For selected few, it is a full blown panic attack where they have to stop driving all together. This problem is usually worsened by common hassles we all face while driving. Our streets are used by so many "Unsafe" drivers that do lots of dangerous maneuvers while driving. This is not only a problem for themselves, but also for those who want to abide by the rules and drive safely.
If your panic attack is caused by or escalated by the actions of other erratic drivers, then you have a good reason to be fearful. But we can only manage our actions and behaviors and taking risks should always be part of our daily living. The moment you get in your car and decide to drive somewhere, you are taking risks of being involved in a traffic accident. That risk is always included in the benefits of driving.
Panic attacks while driving is something you can control
Panic attacks while driving is something you can minimize or cure through psychological therapy and other helpful methods. It is all in your thinking and way of understanding your situation. Everyone you see driving around is at risk of being involved in traffic accident, but they see things differently. They probably see the benefit of driving outweighing the dangers. They are convinced in their thinking that they will have a safe trip to where they want to go.
Don't suffer from Panic Attack While Driving all alone, thinking always that you can't beat this problem. You can minimize its effects dramatically if you take steps to confront the situation head on. Help is always around you or even few clicks away on the internet. Stand up on your feet and start fighting back for your freedom.

As Calgary and the surrounding areas are still recovering and rebuilding from the recent floods, this unfortunate situation serves as a reminder that disasters can occur without much notice. Floods, wild fires, tornadoes and mudslides, while infrequent, can take an emotional, physical and financial toll. However, such events are proof of the strength of those who are able to overcome such chaos and serve as a reminder that it's important to be as prepared as possible for adversity.
A study of Canadian small businesses owners conducted by Sage North America showed that Canadian businesses may not be sufficiently prepared for a crisis. While 98% of respondents said they back up their financial data, 71% of surveyed owners said they do not have a formal emergency or disaster preparedness plan in place. Respondents cited that they haven't had any issues in the past that influenced the decision to develop a plan (41%), they hadn't thought about it (33%) or they don't think it's important for their business as reasons for not having a plan.
Although some companies may believe they are not at risk for disaster, it is crucial to always prepare for a worst-case scenario. Below are a few tips for small businesses to consider — a starting point to help prepare for, deal with and overcome an emergency situation.
Develop a basic emergency planOutlining the main issues your business could potentially face and the actions that you would need to take to prevent and/or resolve crisis situations will give you a great advantage if an emergency does occur. Research government agency or business association websites for resources and strategies to deal with both natural and man made disasters.
Educate and prepare your staff For the plan to be fully successful, your employees must be aware of the procedures it describes. Only share sensitive information in the plan with those who need to know it, but do share general actions and perform emergency drills and exercises. The more prepared they are for an emergency, the more they will be able to help your business respond and recover from such a situation.
Designate an emergency point person It is essential that more than one person knows critical information such as passwords or the location of important documents. Select a trusted person who can implement the emergency plan, handle financial or legal matters, or recover information in the event that you are unable to do it.
Back up essential data Whether you choose an on-site system, an off-site server or the cloud, backing up your information could be the difference between emergency recovery and the end of your business. Backups should be performed a few times a week and whenever you upload a large amount of information. If you live in tornado-, hurricane- or earthquake-prone regions, an off-site server or the cloud may be your best option. Make sure you choose a solution with a strong brand that has a proven track record for providing secure systems. Your accounting software provider, like Sage, can be a good source.
Develop a business continuity plan After developing an emergency plan, your team should know what their responsibilities are and how to react should those circumstances arise. But what happens afterward? How do you keep your business running while you're still recovering from the effects of an event? This is where a business continuity plan comes into play. It is a proactive plan that ensures operations continue during a disruption.
Create an exit strategy The Sage survey found that 57% of small businesses do not have an exit strategy. Although you may think this step is not essential to your business, defining an exit plan may save you trouble in case of an unforeseeable situation.
Have a lawyer available Hiring an attorney has become an important part of doing business. A lawyer can help guide and protect you through the legal aspects of preventing or solving an issue, such as an accident in your facilities or a product recall.
Invest in prevention Whether it is the installation of a security system or a waterproof safe, investing now may save you thousands if and when a crisis hits.
Get insurance Although insurance may be costly and seem unnecessary for a rare, potential event, you'll be glad your business is covered if the situation does arise. The best return on insurance is no return at all.
Consult with a professional If you are unsure about how to identify the potential issues that your business needs to be prepared for, or how to plan for recovery, it's a good idea to speak with a business consultant. A professional will not only be able to recognize possible crises you may not have considered, but also inform you of the best solutions for your type of business.
Life is full of unexpected events. The more you prepare for potential emergencies, the easier and cheaper it will be for your business to recover.

DRIVING all the way to the Saipan International Airport will give you a view of these dilapidated cement bunkers, some of the grim reminders of Saipan as one of the sites where the bloodiest World War 2 took place over 60 years ago.
I got the chance to explore the bunkers along the Airport Road a few months back with some friends and took the chance to crawl into one to see what the bunkers look like from inside.
I learned from historical accounts in the internet that these bunkers saw a lot of action as taking over the Japanese airport has been one of the first targets of the Americans during the battle of Saipan.
Standing inside the bunker, I tried to imagine how many men had taken shelter in its hard walls as the battle raged on and bullets flew outside. The walls of the bunker bore large holes as it was hit by American tanks.
The airport Japanese bunkers which stand beside the road near a soccer field are among the attractions in the island that draws thousands of tourists each year.
The sentiments however end when your sight lands on the floor of the bunkers where trash including soda cans and food wrappers and other proof of human invasion are scattered.
When you pass by the Airport Road from March to July, the traces of the bloody World War 2 seen through the bunkers are softened by the beauty of the brilliant flame trees in full bloom, a merging of history and nature that creates a scenic merging that would send any photographer's fingers itching to snap photos.

The recent decision by promising basketball prospect Yuta Watanabe to attend George Washington University next season came as bright news for his home country.
And as much as Watanabe has rare talent, the 19-year-old out of Kagawa Prefecture has received valuable support from people around him as he tried to become a better player and eventually reach the furthest point he can.
Donald Beck, the head coach for the NBL's Toyota Alvark, was one of the people who gave Watanabe some advice as he considered crossing the Pacific Ocean to attend preparatory school in the United States last year.
"The Watanabe family approached us and Tom Wisman, who was the national coach at that time," said Beck, who'd coached at U.S. colleges and in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands before he signed with the Alvark in 2010. "And they were very clear that Yuta wants to go to America and the parents wanted him to go to America."
Beck then Beck presented the Watanabes with a few options in New England, where he used to coach, including prominent prep schools. And they wound up selecting St. Thomas More School in Oakdale, Connecticut. Watanabe has attended the school since September.
"So that's all that happened. They contacted us and we did everything we could to help him fulfill his dream," Beck said.
Now as Watanabe, a 203-cm forward, will become the third Japanese-born player to be on a NCAA Division I team later this year (and he'll likely become the first Japanese to get a scholarship as well), he's expected to face harder competition and challenges.
Keijuro "K.J." Matsui, the first Japanese player to compete for an NCAA D-I school, said that it was a good choice for Watanabe to select George Washington, a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference.
But Matsui, a former Columbia University guard who now plays for Toyota, insisted that Watanabe would need to quickly adjust to whatever his head coach wants him to do, taking advantage of his signature plays in his new surroundings.
"There's no guarantees that he'll get a starting position as a freshman," Matsui said.
Matsui said that the D-I college level is much higher than the prep school ranks and Watanabe would need to be ready for that.
"The physicality in college basketball is completely different. It's much stronger," Matsui said. "Defense is much different as well, and their scouting is much more thorough, so you can't take shots as much as you would like to."
For Matsui, it wasn't as easy a decision to pick which college he would go to, as it may have been for Watanabe, who was reportedly torn between GW and Fordham until the last minute.
Coming out of Montrose Christian High School in Maryland (Oklahoma City Thunders star Kevin Durant went there too), Matsui had a chance to attend even more notable basketball schools, such as Davidson, Princeton, and even Michigan and North Carolina, for his sharp shooting skills.
Yet Matsui opted to attend Columbia, an Ivy League school in New York.
"I would be the first Japanese to play in Division I and I knew people would pay attention to how much I could do in it," the 28-year-old said, recalling the experience. "Then, if I'd gone to a competitive team and couldn't do anything there, I would've given an impression the Japanese players couldn't do it there.
"That wouldn't give other guys after me better chances. So I thought it would be better for me to be able to play for an entire year."
Matsui congratulated Watanabe for being given the opportunity to play for a competitive college team like GW, but just making the roster should not be his goal.
"It's good for Nabe-chan (Watanabe) to play at a competitive team, but he's going to have to battle for playing time."
Beck thinks that Watanabe will have success in his collegiate career and eventually has a chance to achieve his goal — to play in the NBA.
Well, the NBA talk may be a little too early for the teenager, but he had a successful prep career and was recently named to the National Prep School Invitational all-tournament team.
"To be quite honest with you, there is a great amount of young Japanese talent in Japan," Beck said. "I think that talent is there. And I think the more exposure they get to other styles of play (and) other styles of coaching, the better they are going to be."

Shed Simove
- Siân Bevan
- 25 August 2009
This article is from 2009.
This is, if nothing else, unique. In Ideas Man, the nerdy Simove discusses his novelty products and occasional Gorman-esque stunt with an ungainly arrogance. There are some truly funny gems but the slick PowerPoint and overbearing posters make this a witty corporate speech, rather than a contender in the competitive comedy programme. Intriguing subject, awkward performance and a show which defies definition.
Belushi's, 226 1446, until 30 Aug, 7pm, £5.

Looks like someone decided she likes cats...I'm not going to tell you how I know this because you will just keep insisting I love cats soooo much and showing me every single thing with a cat on it ever BUT I discovered there are a lot of videos of people wrapping their cats on YouTube. It makes it very difficult to resist the temptation to join them.
I am thankful for this video.

Bach criticized for being developer
There's been a lot of fuss over Richard Skorman using the "developer" label to describe mayoral candidate Steve Bach, but it seems accurate to me. Hasn't Bach's whole career been spent in the land development business? While he is a commercial Realtor right now, he has had other careers in the past, including homebuilding. The development community consists of homebuilders, realtors, land developers and related professions which all earn their living off of the development and sale of real estate.
Most Westside residents know how powerful the development community is in this town, and would probably agree that turning over the power to them, in terms of electing Steve Bach as our first "strong mayor" is not a good idea.
In the mayoral debate at the El Pomar Foundation, Bach made it clear that he would bend over backwards for the business community by cutting back regulations and speeding up approvals of land deals. He even said that we can turn off 30-40 percent of streetlights without compromising public safety! This didn't sound like wise governance to me, and one shouldn't take public safety so lightly.
At least Richard Skorman would be independent of development interests and would be able to make more neutral decisions on city policies. When Skorman was on City Council, he did balance the needs of neighborhoods with the desires of developers. We need this kind of neutrality and balance where critical land use decisions are concerned. Skorman has my vote for this reason, and also because of his experience and business acumen.

WE HAVE TWICE now made reference to a certain "gentleman" in our all-too-brief investigation of the migrant crisis, and we have not done so idly: we wish neither to make vague and ungrounded accusations against this man, nor to lay the entirety of the blame for an immense and complex phenomenon on his shoulders. He is interesting to us as exemplar, as a merest (if paramount) indication of what is happening "below the surface"; he is interesting to us as a window through the morass, the fog, the confusion, which surrounds these matters.
The man in question is one George Soros. Up until recently it might have been supposed that most people would not know of him, and that most of those who had heard of him, would know him as an extraordinarily wealthy philanthropist of the first order, and as a tireless defender of the "open society" a là Karl Popper (who was, incidentally, one of his teachers). This rosy ignorance is beginning to change; the "populists" are starting to speak of him with a certain disdain, those who love Europe and would see Europe return to her roots begin now to anathemize him, and even certain politicians, such as Matteo Salvini in Italy and Viktor Orbàn in Hungary, have begun to indicate, in dark references here and there in their speeches, the man's more ominous side. As far back as 2012 Glenn Beck put together a lengthy exposé on the man, which (despite a certain irritating exaggeration of rhetoric and a certain vulgar alarmism which could do nothing but wound his message in the long run) is well worth seeing. A much shorter and more pointed reference can be found in a 1998 interview which Soros granted to 60-minutes—and which Soros subsequently sought to suppress. (Let it be a measure of his influence that he was not altogether unsuccessful in this.) We may briefly summarize the man thus: George Soros is a brilliant and cold entrepreneur who has succeeded in rendering himself wealthy beyond imagining (he is the twenty-second wealthiest man in the world as of Forbes' reckoning this year) through very questionable means.
Now, to begin, we must note that Soros' interest in migration, his support for it both through words and through quantities of private donations and investments, is demonstrable. He has written numerous articles on the question, and since the beginning of the European migrant crisis in 2014-2015 he has become yet more vociferous, calling for at least one million immigrants per year into Europe's shores "for the foreseeable future," and even exhorting (not to say commanding) Europe to financially aid the migrant crisis in non-European states like Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan. In 2016, he joined with Mastercard to create the pleasantly named "Humanity Ventures" (all Soros' manifold of "humanitarian" organizations have such agreeable titles) through which a nice $500 million dollars are to be funneled into the crisis—naturally, in the encouragement of the migrant flow, and for the good of the migrants themselves. He has been a major funder of the very NGO's which have lately been running their human trafficking routes down to Libya. The question becomes—why?
Why does a man of Soros' evident perspicacity and intellect knowingly support a process which will clearly lead to a destabilization of the social and the political fabric of the entirety of Europe? Why does a man who speaks out constantly in favor of "rights" and "freedom" and "open societies," seek now to infiltrate the entirety of Europe with innumerable individuals who hold the the most closed, sexist, and authoritarian Islamic vision of society and politics? Why does a man, who has made knowledgeable reference to the "panic" caused by so much immigration, wish to diffuse that panic in such a way that it must surely arise later on in a more acute and more ineradicable form? What could he possibly hope to gain? (For, in case it need be said, a man like Soros does nothing without an eye to profit.)
We will never comprehend this if we do not pause a moment to take the wider view. George Soros, this great benefactor of humanity, is also the man personally responsible for the overthrow of governments in Georgia and Yugoslavia, revolutions in states like Ukraine, and the collapse of national banks and currencies like the Thai, the Indonesian, and the British. (He is famously known as the "man who broke the bank of England," which until that moment had been thought invincible.) His actions in this connection have directly led to the chaos of states and the financial ruin and suffering of countless individuals, while he himself has but profited most handsomely. And this but begins to scratch the surface of the influence that this man wields in governments and extremely powerful circles across the globe.
All of this will seem to many readers most improbable and little enough credible. It will be considered that I have perhaps made reference to "fake news"—for really, is it not unthinkable that a private individual, no matter how wealthy he might be, should wield such power in the world? I will respond that such individuals do exist, that there are many more of them than we think, and that at present the best protection these individuals possess for their unearthly power, their extraordinary influence, their atrocious ambitions, is the silence and incredulity which surrounds their actions, and the degree to which normal people refuse to look these matters square in the face. I can do nothing more here than implore my readers to pursue this matter a little by their own lights, to see to what extent I am really exaggerating the matter. I suspect they will find that, if anything, I have been somewhat modest in my claims so far.
Men like George Soros are chaos-feeders; they make enormous profits both financially and spiritually from high-level confusion. We are speaking of a man who has through the willful inciting of political and social upheaval made such earnings that one is hard-pressed even to conceive of them. To believe that a man like this is suddenly now bending his entire will upon altruistic "philanthropic" work is but the height of naïveté.
Well enough; but what has all this to do, then, with immigration? But simply everything. The men, the organizations, the groups which are primarily responsible for foisting these waves of unwanted migrants on the European people—the same individuals and groups which fund and protect and facilitate the work of ferrying these migrants from Africa and establishing them here in in the West—these individuals and groups coincide strikingly with the very segment of extraordinarily wealthy and potent figures who have spent their lives profiting from the maelstrom. I name but one other of these chaos-feeders: Goldman Sachs, the behemoth "finance company" which has had its hand in a wide range of economic crises, including (as is well-known) the housing bubble which caused the 2008 global financial crisis, but also (as is far less known) the Greek default and even the Great Depression. (Incidentally, so far as the Greek default goes, George Soros is not without his connections even here.) And most curiously, this same Goldman Sachs, or those connected to it, is now agitating for immigration, and is working through its connections with such "humanitarian" organizations as Doctors without Borders (they even have a member of Goldman Sachs on their advisory board!). And if anyone at all believes that Goldman Sachs or like institutions are interested in philanthropy, in donations, in the welfare of migrants or Europeans generally—well, for such a person as that, I am afraid I really lack the words.
And here is the point. I have mentioned but two of the elements in this scheme; there are, alas, many, many more—and a great many of them who play their game in a similar "tone." We are living at present in a Europe whose future is being dictated by powers which in the past have fomented the dissolution of order and thrived from the same. We are speaking of individuals who have definite views about the future of the globe itself, individuals who promote, among other things, a single world state—with they themselves, no doubt, as the powers behind the throne. They can attain their ends through no better means than by thrusting the present political and social orders into utter turmoil—by means of, for example, economic crises or migrant crises or what have you—so that new orders and powers can be established on the rubble. It is really not beyond imagining that these chaos-feeders might well be seeking even now to compromise the present political orders of Europe and America.
This is extreme; it might be too extreme. It might be that the organizations and the individuals involved in all of this are counting merely on some roundabout personal profit to come from who can say what aspect of the migrant crisis. But even if this is true, does it not already say everything that we have arrived at the point that the very future of Europe, the very demography and social makeup of Europe, is being determined by persons who have no interest in anything beyond turning a dollar?
In one way or another, this much is clear: in our reaction against these powers, in our battle against them, we must do everything we can to avoid playing into their hands. Often enough, and for clear and valid reasons, the ire of the anti-immigration forces turns against the migrants themselves. In some cases this is inevitable, and will be increasingly inevitable as the years go by—for by our differences in custom, in manner, in lifestyle and worldview, we cannot be anything but adversaries to these people. But our quarrel with them is but incidental, and insofar as we take it to be central, we are but playing the pawns to the powers that have brought these foreigners among us. The more that we ourselves bring turmoil upon our own streets and our own lands, the closer we shall move toward thrusting the entirety of society into an unrest and disease which cannot help but issue to the favor, not certainly of our people, nor even of the migrants, but rather of these wealthiest shadow-figures among us who are awaiting this chaos precisely, to begin their feeding.
Yet it is equally clear we cannot sit back and do nothing; for if we are but passive, the day will come when the descent into that chaos will be unstoppable. We must work, as much as we can, through the few political avenues still open to us. It is still to be hoped that certain politicians—like Matteo Salvini, Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders—really would seek in all sincerity to battle this problem with the powers at their disposal, and an already-arrived politician like Viktor Orbàn proves that this hope is not frivolous. I confess I hold out less hope for the United States; but, straining the limits of one's optimism, it could happen that the arrival of Donald Trump to the throne, as it were, has opened certain possibilities for future candidates to the presidency; may be that we shall see one of these terms the advent of at least the shadow of a real American statesman.
That is all little enough to hope for, but for the moment we have nothing more. It would be well for those who have talent for such things, to agitate directly against the individuals I have mentioned, as well as others like them—to attempt to bring their sins to "public awareness" (as foolhardy a task as that might sometimes seem, given the nature of the masses and the exceedingly compromised quality of our press). Above all, we ourselves must seek to perceive, as clearly as we can, what is to be found on the other side of this window through—to comprehend, insofar as we are able, the precise aims and plans of the individuals who presently, more than anyone else, rule the West today, and who are as actively seeking its utter disintegration. For only as we know what they want and how they intend to get it, may we adequately begin to plan our action against them.

Audi A4 Lease Questions
dealer quoted me this price
2007 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Auto
premimum pkg and heated seats
selling price 31959
36 months 10k miles
residual 56%
418/mo with with first payment and tax up front
i plugged in the numbers to the lease calculator and they dont add up can anyone help me get a better deal on this?
when we couldnt get a better deal they told us to come back next month because the numbers might be different which i found kind of odd.
you should be able to get more $$$ off. I got over $2000 off my cab. Did you add 575 aqu fee to cap cost. that could be why your're off0
I addded the aqu fee but it still only comes up to a $402 payment. I still dont get how they're getting 418/mo
If i can get the sale price lower and get the mf to the standard .00054 I should be where i want to be, but the next closest Audi dealer is 80 miles away!0
Do what i did and send an email to get a price and payment from other dealers. The car can be serviced at any audi dealer. If you get a lower price show give the present dealer another shot to match. They most likely will. in my case my closest dealer did match one further away0
audihorse Posts: 15add in Audi Care at $590 to $31,959 - until I did this my numbers were off. Did you get Audi care? - it raises residual bu one point I think...also the aquisition fee $575 as pointed out by another post...normally paid up front with 1st payment, taxes + doc fee/title/reg.
The MF looks marked up as you indicate as it should be .00054, although the res at 56% seems better - I know it varies around the country from Audi Finance.
But ask them to sell at invoice - all they can do is say no and it is the end of the month and it is an 07.0
The audi care should add about $5/mth to payment. I got somewhere around $2,000 off sitcker on a covertible whi0ch are much harder to get. Offer to them you'll sign by months end. They need the numbers! Patience is very important. should the net and get other prices then you can tell them I got ----.0
I have been on this site forever checking lease deals and I finally pulled the trigger yesterday on a Dolphin Gray A4 Avant. It is a Gorgeous car!
I shopped at Sonnen in Marin, Santa Barbara Audi, Rusnack-Westlake and finally bought at Keyes in Van Nuys. The sales folks at the first three were pretty good but were not super knowledgable. But my salesman, Ali (Sayed Ali), at Keyes was excellent. He showed me all the Audi secrets _ (MF, Residual, etc.), played no games and gave me a great price.
Price: My quotes at the first three dealers ranged from $500 to $800 above invoice but Ali gave me the best price by far. (I can't quote it.)
MF: .00065 (You can do better if you are an Audi/VW customer).
Residual .52 (with Audicare).
Trade in: "Fair" price from Edmunds/KBB for a Saab with 106,000.
Now is a pretty good time to buy. It is the end of the model year and the MF is quite good. It seems to me though that while MF and residual fluctuate, the overall lease rate for A4s stays pretty much the same. But again, the price is good right now.0
78carolian Posts: 9Edwardsf -- post a pic of your A4 Avant on Audizine.com under the "Avants" user/owners section. Would love to see a pic. I am not into the modding scene but do enjoy seeing Avants from all over the world on this site. My ID on that site is "Steiner." Check it out.0
Hi, cars0153... i have asked several dealerships for lease quotes, on an a4, auto, 12k mi/yr, premium, navi, convenience, all tax and fees rolled into monthly payments, no money down, and blue tooth, but i have only gotten 2 quotes back, each were so ridiculously hi it wasnt funny.
I was wondering if you might be able to share the quotes you got so i can go to the dealer with them.
If ANYONE has any good quotes direct from a dealer, can u please send them over to me? my email is [email protected]
since i am leasing in the long island area, quotes closer to my area would be most helpful.
thanks everyone, in advance.0
if you want to get a quote from my salesman, David Hamilton at bernardi Audi in Natick, MA please go ahead and use my name Warren.
it's har dto compare because I leased for 23,ooo/yr.0
Hi chadraymond5. This car's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 A4 2.0T Sedan with quattro with 15,000 miles peer year are .00054 and 53%, respectively.

Hello jbeckr. The money factor that you were quoted for this car is way too high. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of an '07 Audi A4 2.0T Sedan is .00054. Negotiate as low a selling price as you can on this car and make sure that the dealer you lease from uses this factor to calculate your monthly payment.

Welcome jburleig. Most banks do not make lists of the money factors and residual values that they use to calculate vehicles' lease payments available to the general public. Having said this, I should be able to give you an idea of what Audi's current lease program for the car that you want is if you tell me exactly which model you want, how long you want to lease it for, and what mileage allowance you need.

Greetings wootang00. I am sorry to say that it is usually fairly expensive to get out of leases well before their scheduled end dates. In order to do so, you need to purchase the vehicle that you are currently leasing from the bank that you are leasing it through. It often turns out that it costs more to do so than your vehicle is worth on the open market. Furthermore, many banks expect consumers who end their leases early to still make all, or at least the depreciation portion of their remaining lease payments. As you can see, this can get very expensive.
You can determine approximately how much it will cost you to get out of your current lease by comparing its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. You should place a call to the bank that you are leasing your vehicle through to find out its exact price. Once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values". Don't forget to check to see if you are still on the hook for your remaining lease payments. The difference between your leased vehicle's current value and how much it will cost you to buy it plus any remaining lease payments that you are obligated to pay will equal the cost of getting out of your lease right now. You may find that you are better off waiting until you are closer to the scheduled end of your lease to get another new vehicle.
The dealer that you are working with might say that they will absorb some of the hit that you will take from getting out of your current lease early for you, but all they really would be doing is taking some of the discount that you would have been able to negotiate on this car and using it to get you out of your lease. This will result in you getting a much worse deal on your new car than if you had waited until the end of your current one to get something new.

Hi edwardsf. The money factor that you were quoted to lease this car is too high. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Audi A4 2.0T Avant is .00054. The factor would be .00015 higher than this if you opt to have your car's security deposit waived. The selling price that you were quoted for this car looks pretty good though. The dealer invoice price for the model that you described is probably around $32,200. That puts the selling price that you were quoted at around $500 over invoice, which is attractive. Just get the money factor lowered and you're in business.

Greetings tizzle. It is difficult for me to say if you will be able to negotiate the same monthly payment that you currently have on the new car that you are interested in. If you provide me with the full MSRP and selling price of the new car, I can use Audi's current lease program to estimate what your monthly payment should be for you. The best way to get a good deal on your new car is to negotiate as low a selling price as you possibly can on it and then have the dealer use Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor to calculate its monthly payment. Unfortunately, banks do not provide refunds to lessees for unused mileage. So unless you can purchase your car and sell it on your own for a profit or trade it in you will not be able to monetize your unused mileage.

Hi edogg1. The money factor that you were quoted is a little high. Audi Financial Services' current buy rate for 36 month leases of '07 A4 2.0T Sedans is .00054 with the payment of a security deposit and .000150 higher than that with the deposit waived. Make sure that the dealer you are working with uses this money factor to calculate your car's monthly payment.
Let's take a look at the selling price that you were quoted. The car that you described probably has a spread of around $3,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. That is the exact discount that you are being given on it, so this aspect of your deal looks very attractive to me. Overall, I'd say that this is a good deal, but it would be even better if you can get the dealer to lower the money factor.

Hey edogg1. Audi Financial Services' residual values for models that are equipped with the S-Link Package are 2% lower than its normal residual values. Adding Audi Care actually boosts AFS' residual values by one point.

s1gins Posts: 51Car_man,
I am looking at an Audi A4 2.0T AWD Cabriolet lease, 36 months, mf .0018, 15K/year and 59% residual w/Audi care. Selling price is $1250 over invoice.
Are there different money factors for different A4s?
Is this a good deal?
Thanks in advance.0
Here is a response i finally got from an audi dealer near me for a 36 month lease, 12k miles/yr, zero down all taxes and fees rolled into monthly payments (i am in an area of about 8%). It feels hi, but stupid me, i cant figure out where. can someone please point out where i should be negotiating? Its for an a4 3.2 quattro, with navi, and other options as seen in the post below. they are telling me that The MSRP is $44,815.00 and selling price is $42,961.00. The Res is 52% and the money factor is 0.00080
here is their break down of the costs on the car-
Phantom Black Pearl effect-750.00 cost 683.00---- not the normal Black Paint.......
Sport Sport Suspension 228.00 cost 250.00
Audi Navigation 2100.00 cost 1911.00
Convenience 1800.00 cost 1638.00
Audi Package 1000.00 cost 910.00
Blue Tooth prep 500.00 cost 455.00
Destination 775.00 cost 750.00
NY state Audi AA 300.00 -you do not see on the Internet
Prep and inspection 195.00-you do not see on the Internet
Audi A4 3.2 37,640.00 cost 34866.00
1st month payment-657.22
Bank fee -575.00
Plates and fees -394.00
Up front taxes -58.14
Total out of pocket - 1684.36
I am sell you the car for $42961.00 which includes the I pod cable and no charge to you. The car did have $1000.00 profit ,but when you minus the Ipod cable charge(400.00) installed the profit drops to $600.00 over my invoice.
BOTTOM LINE: do i do it or no? thank you everyone for your help, especially car-man.0
mcwenzel Posts: 37Never, ever lease a car through Audi Financial Services for the following reason, something that Audi does but other car companies DO NOT do.
When you lease your car, you have a negotiated residual. If you want to trade in your leased vehicle through AFS, you simply pay the negotiated buyout price, which decreases each month of your lease until the end when it equals the residual value.
However, AFS will only sell the car at the contract price to you. So if you attempt to trade the car in to a dealer and buy a new car, they will give you a "special quote" based on "fair market value". This is much higher than the price you can buy the car for. And the quote they provide the dealer that they claim is based on fair market value actually is different based on the dealer. So the quote will be substantially lower for an Audi dealer to buy the car then for a non Audi dealer.
In other words, they will jack up the price making it impossible for you to trade in your Audi without paying significant out of pocket. This is truly a customer hostile policy. They will not negotiate. You can't buy the car and turn around and sell it to the dealer for the same price because you will incur substantial sales tax, unless you are in a no sales tax state.
So basically you can forget a lease trade in of an Audi without eating at least $1000. From what I understand, not every financing company does this, and in fact most don't.
While there is no question this is unfair and customer unfriendly, the question is whether it is even legal in all states or constitutes an unfair business practice.0
Thanks Carman, but your post was way too late to help out. Also, I believe my and your numbers are wrong. The Invoice on the car I mentioned (2.0 Avant, Bluetooth, Prem., Bose Audio, Sports Susp.) is more like $34,000. (Also, note that Edmunds incorrectly puts $432 for all metallic and pearl paint when it should be more like $685.)
As noted in my last post on the Avant that I did buy, I got a money factor - .00069 - that was much better than the .00093 that one dealer offered. I paid the .00015 extra as I did not put down a security deposit. I did get .52 on the residual (with Audicare).0
I don't understand your post. Are you referring to early termination of the lease? If so, of course you will end up paying an exorbitant fee to breach your contract. What finance company lets you out of any kind of lease and does not charge you for breaking the contract?
Also, you don't own the car. How can you trade in a car you don't own? Are you saying other finance companies allow you to breach the terms of the lease, then buy the car below its residual? Can you actually name a finance company that would engage in such a money losing policy?
Or, are you talking about buying a car after you finished with your lease? If so, of course you pay what what the residual is - you already negotiated for that price when you originally leased the car. With Audi's subvented lease rates on the A4, you pay around 2% for the 36 months lease and then can buy the car at its residual. You then can pay it off with a normal used car loan or self finance. This means you pay 2% for 3 years, then 4-6% to pay off your residual.0
1. Most posters here are getting $500 to 800 over invoice. Negotiate from invoice, not from MSRP. This is the end of the model year and they are desparate to get '07s off the lot, so start your negotiating lower.
2. The MF should not be .00080 but instead .00054 (or .00069 if no security deposit or not a previous Audi/VW finance customer).
3. Tell them you will not pay the local Audi advertising or inspection fees. They are simply adding to the cap cost.
4. Go to Edmunds and find the appraisal page and plug the numbers in and go prepared back to the dealer.0
Hi ledname. Through June 4th, Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 A4 2.0T Sedan with quattro and 15,000 miles per year are .00054 and 53%, respectively.
Prices Paid Forum0
Hello ravinpat. Audi does offer loyalty cash on select vehicles from time to time, but I am not aware of any loyalty cash that is currently available on the A4. I don't believe that Audi is running an early lease termination program on this model either. As a result, it would likely be very expensive for you to get out of your current lease at this point. Unless Audi runs an early termination program, the earliest that you would be able to get out of your current lease is March '08, unless it is worth more as a trade than its current market value...which is unlikely.

Hi edwardsf. Through June 4th, Audi Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 A4 2.0T Avant with 15,000 miles per year are .00054 and 51%, respectively. This car's 12,000 mile per year residual value would be 2% higher than this and its 10,000 mile per year resid would be 3% higher.

Filmography: Jay Renfro Videos
Model Names / Studio
He first appeared as Brock Wilder in numerous Tribal Pulse releases. However Dan Komar's Czech Republic-based studio dubbed him Jay Renfro, cast him as a barebacking bottomboy, and then people really began noticing him. As a fun trivia note, he also appeared in a quite good Pacific Sun movie named Aqua Club as Alistair Vogel.
In fact, whirlpools, saunas and clean tiled bathhouses seem to be this boy's favorite hangout. A good many of his movies are set in them. We would pick as one of his best in this category to be Tribal Pulse's Sex & the Tourist. Wilder plays the tourist in the title, but interestingly he's not the guy on the cover. In this flick, his ass is reamed for miles and miles by European starlets Johnny Saint, Joseph Ther, Adam Kubick and Mario Danza. This movie is a Jay Renfro / Brock Wilder showcase.
Another Brock Wilder goodie is Ski Trip. His provocative bootie is so tempting, fellow friend Aston Martin drills him doggie style in a cramped bathroom. He hangs onto the sink and water closet fixtures for dear life! This guy puts the W*I*L*D in Wilder.
Most of this same cast appears in a bed & breakfast themed saga called Suite Service. Now I have always recommended this little flick very highly. The cast, who play a bevy of hotel staff and customers, are very eager to please. Adam Kubick drills him here too --- this specific pair of models must really know each other very well by now. They are a good match.
Jay Renfro goes from living on Bareback Twink Street to getting fucked by Sanchez Viva in the army. His next hotel visit is at Garth Fox's Bareback Hotel under the name Jay Renfro, where he and swarthy brunet Mikey Sem are rutting until they lube runs out, and the top gets his penis "stuck" inside him.
"Help us! We are stuck!" How can anything get stuck inside that famous anus?
What happens? Room service sends up the delicious Tommy Gent over with lube and a big pipe cleaner of his own to jam into Renfro.
Jay Renfro's barebacking adventures continue on with even bigger dicks. He makes it on a shaggy rug in Virgin Tales.... obviously a curiously named film considering the cast. Then comes his remarkable act in Raw Recruits where he gets fucked hard and rough like a woman by this enormously endowed black guy. (I don't mean that pejoratively; it's like the way the straight guys hammer hard in the pussy porn)
He plays the character of the punk reduced to petty crime living on the Bareback Twink Street. Here, Cameron Jackson penalizes him for stealing food out of his shop. Undeterred, he goes on to rip a stereo out of Denis Reed's automobile in Bareback Twink Street 2. Perhaps these movies are making a statement on the Czech Republic's ineffective state programs to stop juvenile crime.
The Best Jay Renfro Movie
What is our favorite Jay Renfro film? We like Sex & the Tourist. For barebacking, it would probably be Garth Fox's Bareback Hotel, although the RAW movies are all great to watch. If he has done some other work that we've missed, let us know. His youthful exuberance seems to bubble up everywhere.
Some fans argue that Renfro received short shrift working under the lens of Vlado Iresch at Eurocreme. After leaving the studio, Renfro appeared in a number of additional films for different studios, sometime displaying his talents to better success.
One good example is Internal Affairs: A Bareback Love Story from Raw Entry Club. Grossly mstitled, the film is not a love story at all. However, it is the first movie that actually uses Renfro in a starring role. He dreams up a hot anonymous hookup with a sunglasses wearing, big dicked mystery man. This is followed by hot sex with Sancho Sun and finally culminating in a seven man mass cum facial.

text: Passion, beauty, and brilliant storytelling are all on display in this six-hour-plus epic from Italian director Franco Zeffirelli. Robert Powell is superb in the title role, and with the overwhelming success of this TV movie throughout the world, has perhaps become what Jesus looks like in many people's minds. The story begins with the arrangements of the wedding between Joseph and Mary, and chronicles the nativity, the encounter with John the Baptist (a ferocious Michael York) and everything up to the crucifixion and resurrection.

"To fight monsters, we created monsters"
If you saw the trailers for "Pacific Rim" and dismissed it as mindless action movie schlock, well, you can be forgiven. Initial viewings of its promotional content had me skeptical. After all, how many times have we seen massive creatures and robots hash out their issues on the crowded streets of Mega City X, Y, and/or Z?
Too many times, that's how many. But this particular film has a few tricks up its sleeve that actually succeed in keeping things interesting and (mostly) original.
A physically and emotionally battle-scarred ex-Jaeger (a.k.a. giant "hunter" robot) pilot is called back into action when the world's hope has reached its last few strands. It's up to him and a band of rogue heroes—led by the somewhat imposing, marginally mysterious Marshall Stacker Pentecost—to fend off an escalating global threat embodied in the form of massive Kaiju (a.k.a. "strange beasts") that emerge from an extra-dimensional portal that mysteriously appeared years ago deep in the ocean.
The non-spoiler twist to the formula is the fact that two individuals are required to pilot the massive Jaegers, and the two pilots must be "drift-compatible" (e.g., they must have a natural flow and connection). This is necessary because "drifting" involves merging the pilots' brains so that they can combine their brain processing power and run the Jaegers effectively (and without dying). So there's also the matter of finding Raleigh Becket (our emotionally-scarred ex-Jaeger pilot hero) a suitable co-pilot—all while the attacking Kaiju continue to show up larger and more deadly by the week.
Violence: In regard to deadly alien monsters, the action we see onscreen holds no surprises. No nasty surprises, that is. The fact that nearly all the violence is of the Jaeger v. Kaiju variety is both fun and refreshing. It's really quite nice to have a movie that doesn't feature scads of human v. human violence. We do get to see gargantuan robots and aliens get pummeled, smashed, blasted, sliced, and stabbed, which, while enjoyable, can get quite intense at times. We see blueish goop fly when various Kaiju are on the receiving end of particularly powerful punches, or when they are sliced and stabbed and blasted with a plasma cannon, but otherwise the violence is relatively gore-free. There is one instance where two men get into a fight, but it is bloodless and quickly resolved.
Language is the most significant negative issue that audiences are faced with. There isn't much cussing in the early goings, but, as the action ramps up, the language becomes a little more coarse. God's name is abused the most frequently, as 13 of the curse words in the movie are abuses of His name in different forms, including a handful of times where Jesus' name gets bandied about inappropriately, or "d*mn" is added as a suffix. No F-words infiltrate the dialog, but viewers will still encounter just under a dozen other harsh words (e.g., "sh*t," "b*tch," and "b*stard") and a half-dozen "milder" curse words like "a**" or "h*ll."
Sexual content is very minimal. We see one female character in a tight, low-cut, form-fitting tank top as she spars with Raleigh, and at one point she briefly ogles a shirtless Raleigh through a peephole. There is a crack about how Kaiju bone powder is used by some men as a way to increase their "potency," and one joke makes light of one man's (implied) sexual fling with another man's girlfriend.
Spiritual Issues: What might be most problematic, at least for those looking to take their teenagers (and/or pre-teens), is the movie's casual dismissal of the idea of God. The only references we get to God are passing remarks that dismiss the idea of His existence and/or mock individuals who still hold on to a belief in a higher power. This isn't something the movie dwells on, but it is clear that Christianity (and other religions) don't really have a place in the film's fictional universe. Being aware of this can help lead to some really positive conversations about God and the Bible and the differences between a Christian worldview and worldviews held by others, but it might take a little initiative to start that conversation, rather than simply trying to ignore it and let it go unchallenged.
What if the cosmos is all that there is? Answer

If God made everything, who made God? Answer
The good news is we see some great examples of selfless love and sacrifice throughout the movie. Different characters are presented with heavy circumstances that cause them to doubt their resolve, but, in each case, the individuals choose to sacrifice their own well-being—their very lives, in a few cases—in order to do what is best for their fellow Earthlings. It's hard to think of a movie that features so many wonderful examples of John 15:13 and Mark 12:31.
"Pacific Rim" may want to dismiss God on some levels, but it does a good job of highlighting some character attributes that are critical for believers to grasp. Concepts like courage in the face of fear, pain, and adversity, hope in the face of despondent circumstances, and selfless sacrifice are all heavily reinforced by the actions of the heroes in the movie, and they make for several inspiring moments that will likely prove to be very encouraging for believers and non-believers alike. One man's commitment to (and love for) his adopted daughter provides the most tender, intimate connection we see onscreen, and is a beautiful (though humanly flawed) illustration of God's love and care for each of us.
In many ways, "Pacific Rim" is exactly what you might expect. It is aliens versus robots in multiple epic, cityscape-smashing battle royales (with cheese!) It can feel heavy-handed at times; the script isn't the best you'll see this year, and, in moments, a few actors seem to be trying just a wee bit too hard to sound dramatic.
However, the ride is exciting enough to keep you from noticing most of the shortcomings until you have had enough fun to forgive them. It's likely that any faults won't be fully recognized until you've left the theater and lain yourself in bed, and by that time they don't seem to matter nearly as much. (Though they still might bug you for a few moments.)
The bottom line is that"Pacific Rim" feels just fresh enough to be worth your while. It would be great with popcorn or with Sour Patch Kids, and you won't feel gross after watching it. (Unless you eat too much popcorn, that is.) The pacing feels good, which is quite a feat when you consider the fact that the movie's run time breaches the two-hour mark. The action is fun and doesn't feel tired. The CGI is impressive and fits seamlessly in the context of the movie without making things feel manufactured. On the acting front, Charlie Day keeps things light by making a killer turn as the comic relief, and Idris Elba gives us just enough gravitas to keep us in tune with the high stakes that are at play.
It may not be the best movie you have ever seen—or even the best this the summer. But it's still a mighty fine ride. Although caution is recommended if considering taking young ones to soak in the intense, monster-mash action, the fairly minimal content issues (overall) make "Pacific Rim" a solid choice for a Saturday afternoon matinée.

Traveling in the United States
Do you want to stroll the sunny beaches of California, explore historical sites in Washington, D.C., or go skiing in Colorado? You can! During your Career Training USA program, you are welcome to travel throughout the United States as you please. Be sure to discuss planned vacation dates with your host employer early in your program to make the most of your time off. Any independent travel you do during your program is your responsibility and will be at your own expense. You should always travel with your passport, your valid DS-2019 Form, and an unexpired I-94 card or a printout or your electronic I-94 record, especially if you will travel to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or any state that borders Canada or Mexico, as your connecting flights, buses, trains or boats may potentially route you through other countries.
Traveling Internationally
During your program you should be able to travel internationally and return to the U.S. without any problem as long as:
- You have a valid, unexpired passport.
- Your J-1 Visa is marked with an "M" under "Entries" in your passport. This means you are allowed multiple entries to the U.S.
- Your J-1 Visa is not expired.
- Your DS-2019 Form is still valid.
- You have mailed or brought your DS-2019 Form to the InterExchange office in New York for a travel validation signature. Please alert our office that you need your DS-2019 Form signed prior to coming in/mailing it, and allow at least two to three weeks for return service in the mail.
- You check the visa requirements of the country you are traveling to and secure any necessary visas.
- You take your passport, DS-2019 Form, and I-94 card or printout of your electronic I-94 record with you.
- You may not spend more than 30 consecutive days outside of the U.S. during your J-1 program.
- InterExchange must be notified of your international travel plans and sign your DS-2019 Form before you travel.
- Travel validation signatures are good for six months. If you plan on traveling again more than six months after InterExchange signs your DS-2019 Form, InterExchange will have to sign your form again.
International Travel During Your Extension Period
If you have been approved for a program extension, InterExchange Career Training USA will issue a new DS-2019 Form reflecting your new extended program dates. This form represents your legal status to continue interning or training with your U.S. host employer. Although you will receive a new DS-2019 Form, the J-1 Visa in your passport will still expire according to the expiration date printed on the visa itself. You are allowed to remain in the U.S. for the duration of your extension, but if you travel outside of the U.S., you will not be allowed to re-enter, even with a valid extension DS-2019 Form, unless you apply for a new, valid J-1 Visa.
While it might be possible to apply for a new J-1 Visa back in your home country, there is no guarantee the visa will be granted, so please consider this carefully before traveling internationally during your extension period.
Travel at the End of Your Program: The 30-Day Grace Period
At the end of your program, you will have a grace period of up to 30 days for personal travel. Both your DS-2019 Form and J-1 Visa will be expired during this time and you are no longer eligible for automatic visa revalidation. If you leave the U.S. at all during this travel period, you will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S. and will be responsible for paying for your own plane ticket home.
Additional Rules For Traveling
- Always keep your passport up-to-date. You must have at least six months remaining on your passport before it expires in order to re-enter the U.S.
- You may need a visa to enter the country that you are planning to visit. Your U.S. J-1 Visa does not give you the ability to enter any country except the United States. To check visa requirements, visit that country's embassy website before you travel.
- When you travel, you will need to take all of your original documents with you. Photocopies are not valid travel documentation.
- If you lost your passport during your program and need a replacement, you will not be able to travel internationally and return to the U.S., as your replacement passport will not have a J-1 Visa in it. If you are from a visa waiver country and re-enter the U.S. on a tourist visa, you will not be able to legally continue working with your host employer.
- The decision regarding whether you are allowed back into the United States is not under InterExchange's control. While interns and trainees have rarely had problems in the past, there is always a small chance you will not be allowed back into the U.S. You will need to take this into consideration when making your decision about whether or not to travel.

You probably know Wilco as that hot "alt-country" band that got into a blistering scrap with its record company back in the early part of this century.
The band nearly imploded recording "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot," but the theatrics were so good they made a movie about it ("I am Trying to Break Your Heart"). Spoiler: Wilco won, released the record on its own and earned much-deserved praise for producing a modern masterwork. "Yankee" hardly lived up to the "unlistenable" rumors though. It was just a great pop record with true country grit, a digital blip here, a guitar squeal there.
And Jeff Tweedy was the man at the helm.
His tales of longing, heartbreak and heavy metal drummers place him in the canon of great American songwriters. A few lineup changes, a stint in rehab and fatherhood shaped the next few records, bringing us to, well, something the band calls "Wilco (the album)." It's easily the best record Tweedy and Co. have produced since "Yankee," a start-to-finish gem that, as the title implies, showcases a band that's comfortable in its own skin.
The album drops June 30 and Wilco will preview some of it tonight when the band plays the new Joint. Tweedy told us it will be one of the greatest Wilco shows ever. Tongue in cheek? We don't know. But we're saying it's worth the chance. As Tweedy says on the album opener, "Wilco (will) love you, baby."
The title of the new Wilco documentary is "Ashes of American Flags," and there's a song on the new record called "Country Disappeared." Seems to be a theme there.
I don't have any political commentary to make. They're just images to me. It's always a part of the culture that people feel like some part of it, existent when they were younger, is missing when they're older — and maybe it's more their youth than anything.
Well, one thing that's fading is record stores and recording albums in general.
I see things changing that I can mourn. I worked in indie record stores when I grew up. I want them to stick around and thrive, but most of the time there's nothing you can do about change. I don't mean to sound defeatist, but it's probably better to spend your energy changing yourself than fighting against something that is a lot bigger than you. That's not a very optimistic answer, I suppose.
You've been through a lot since "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot."
My 9-year old son was 1 when that record was made. I've gone through rehab, the lineup has changed. I've managed to grow up in a way I never thought I'd be able to grow up, in a world that seems to have little value for growing up. I'm happy about that.
As a songwriter, you've talked about your "obsessive compulsive" desire for order before. If Wilco were a political system, what would it be?
Oh, I've been able to manage some of my anxieties much better. As a band, it's a benign dictatorship at its worst and maybe a full-on Scandinavian social democracy at its best.
The band sounds great, more natural.
I think things have settled down into a really cohesive unit, a group of people that have an undeniable affection for each other. That alone is something that's hard to come by in this business, that sense of appreciation. I think Wilco has grown into a band that's become at peace with being Wilco. The bottom line is it's a lot less self-conscious of an existence than times in the past.
How about you personally?
I've never felt better. I'm healthier than I have ever been in my life. I go out and hike and run everywhere we go. Physically and mentally, I'm a rock machine.
I bet quitting smoking helps. Any tips?
You have kids?
Well, you gotta get a kid and make 'em a promise and that will help. You could pick a kid off the street, maybe. And make a promise to him that you are going to take care of yourself.
That might involve incarceration.
Yeah, you might want to rethink that one. Sorry. Don't do it at the library.
