Since they see a lot of hands, I see them getting grimy over time. They should have left those black like in the E46.
I should also say I much prefer the look of the steering wheel in the base model as compared to that in the sports line.
What options did you get? Did you get leather?
With kids and a light colored interior, I would definitely scotchgard the seat belts. It probably not a bad idea even for adults
I got the leatherette. It looks like leather and wears much better. I had an e46 and the leatherette seats looked like new 50k miles and 4 years later.
As for options, all I got was the heated seats & steering wheel, moon roof, and the metallic paint.

LOOK: Amazon Review for Sugarless Gummy Bears is Horrible
Beware of Haribo sugarless gummy bears, apparently they're making people sick.
The Amazon reviews of the product have been going viral on the Internet. Some of them are comical, but they all end the same way. For the sake of staying clean, we'll stick to not well.
It basically all comes down to the ingredient Lycosin.
"That is an artificial sugar. And artificial sugars are nice and sweet so they taste like sugar, but they're not digestable," said Dr. Donald Bucklin, the regional medical director for U.S. HealthWorks.
Bucklin says that if you only consume small amounts, you should be fine, but if you go for the whole bag, that's another story.
"You just overload the gut, and you can't digest it all. And it gets dumped into the colon, and if you can't digest it, it comes out," he said.

Meet the Secret $256 Million Bank for Right Wing Causes
Posted on Sep 13, 2013
Everybody knows that wealthy conservatives, led by the infamous Koch brothers, have been funneling oceans of cash into the political process. Now, Politico reports, we have a sense of how much, and how it works.
The political news site got its hands on an IRS filing by the shadowy Freedom Partners group that reveals the nonprofit organization—until now known only to a few Washington insiders—doled out $236 million last year "to shape political and policy debate nationwide."
Charles and David Koch, the billionaire industrialists who have been spending their pocket change trying to steer the nation to the political right, are the glue of the organization, but it's clearly more than them. Look at it as a MoveOn.org for the 1/100th percent crowd.
And the money does matter. The group dropped $130 million on two organizations trying to shut down the Affordable Care Act; $32.3 million on the politically active Americans for Prosperity group; $13.6 million on Iowa's American Future Fund, which flooded airwaves there with Mitt Romney ads; and far down the list, grants of less than $1 million each to a series of state-level tea party groups.
Of course, the wealth that is flowing into these groups begins mostly with consumer spending. Koch Industries, for instance, owns such diverse entities as Georgia-Pacific (think Brawny paper towels), INVISTA (Stainmaster carpet) and Koch Fertilizer, which helps grow some of the veggies you eat every day.
The pervasiveness of the corporations in both daily life and American politics is unsettling, as is the knowledge that dollars people spend on consumer items help fuel political agendas they oppose. One sliver of good news: There's an app for that.

No matter how organized you already are, sometimes life gets too busy to stay organized.
But with a little revamping, you can improve your systems so that organizing is much easier.
I know this because I've implemented it in my life and it works.
By implementing these 10 habits, I have been able to maintain my organized life — even when it gets crazy busy!
1. Use a digital calendar
Using a digital calendar is a really good idea because it allows you to move tasks and events around easily, unlike a paper calendar. Once you write something on your paper calendar, it's hard to move around. Plus, you won't be taking your paper calendar with you when you leave wherever it's at. With a digital calendar, you can sync it to your phone and have it will you at all times. Additionally, you can move your tasks and events around with a few clicks. Because of this, you can rely on your digital calendar to keep you organized in a way that isn't possible with a paper calendar.
I use my digital calendar for everything – and I mean everything. I use it to track my short-term and long-term goals, my daily tasks, birthdays, events, etc. I couldn't function without it.
2. Plan your day the night before
Get in the habit of thinking – and planning –the next day the evening before. Before you go to bed, think about what you want to accomplish and what you have going on the next day. Put everything on your digital calendar that you want to accomplish the next day.
Every night I look at my calendar and see what the next day looks like. I add tasks for the following day of things I'd like to accomplish. This helps me take action immediately after work instead of doing what I feel like doing (like turning on the TV! 🙂 ).
One main tenant of being organized is that you have to think ahead and plan ahead. It may seem tedious to meticulously plan your day the night before, but it will pay dividends. By planning your days the night before, you will create the habit of living intentionally instead of acting based on how you feel in the moment.
3. Plan your week ahead of time
Just like you plan your day the night before, plan your upcoming week the week before. Set aside at least 15 minutes every Sunday to plan the upcoming week. To plan your week, think about what you want out of your week, including what events you have and what goals you want to accomplish. Create "calendar events" on each day where you block out time to accomplish your goals, tasks, or events.
This time for reflection will help you make better choices for the week to come. You can also use a weekly action plan (this is what I do) and set specific goals for the week that are in line with your life plan.
Looking at your week ahead of time will help you be proactive (instead of reactive) and stay organized.
4. Automate your finances
Because life gets so busy, and budgeting can be hard sometimes, I suggest automating your finances. I recommend using Personal Capital for this. Personal Capital is a tool that you can use to manage your finances, in addition to using it for investing purposes. It will help you track your accounts and understand them. Personal Capital is similar to Mint.com, but it's more comprehensive. If you're a visual learner like me, then it's a really useful tool because you can see your finances through charts and graphs. I highly recommend it as a tool to stay financially organized.
5. Focus on the big picture
In order to plan ahead, you have to have in mind what you want to plan. You have to know what you want to plan in order to actually plan it. To know what to plan, think about your life visions and goals. Consider what's most important in your life and then plan actions that are in line with those visions and goals. This will make putting a plan into action much easier. It will also help you organize your life. You'll live with more intention and have fewer regrets.
For example, if you want to lose weight, then you should add actions to your calendar toward accomplishing that goal, like running or hiking. Putting actions on your calendar that further your goals will make it more likely that you'll actually do them.
6. Put things away immediately
Aside from using your calendar and planning properly, there are practical things that you can do to live a more organized life. One example is to put things away immediately. After you're done with something, put it away. It's that simple. Yet, how often we find our houses cluttered from not doing this simple action.
Putting things away as soon as you're done using them will help you stay more organized in all areas of your life. This is a habit that will take some getting used to if you're doing used to doing it. But if you stick with it and it becomes what a habit, then you will stay organized.
7. Purge constantly
Throw things away regularly. My rule of thumb is that if I haven't used it (or worn it) in one year, then it's time to donate it or throw it away. Remember this organizational tenant: less is more.
Start by throwing things away one item at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Over time, you'll see how powerful this is and before you know it, you'll have much less to organize (and probably feel better, too).
8. Use containers and label
Put your stuff in containers (like these containers), and when applicable label them. This will give everything you own a specific place for you to keep it. If you don't already use containers, set aside time on your calendar to get containers, label them, and organize your things in the containers. Doing this once will give you a system whereby you can put things away immediately.
Using containers and labels is just another way to streamline your organization process, which will make life easier for you. The stronger your systems, the easier it is for you to stay organized.
9. Start small to avoid feeling overwhelmed
On your journey to a more organized life, the key is to get started. If you're feeling overwhelmed, choose one action you can take today or tomorrow to get started. Then, do the same thing for the following day. By planning one action at a time you will avoid the overwhelming feelings that come with trying to do it all. Instead, do one thing at a time. Progress is what counts!
10. Use a list for everything
Make a list for everything that you need to do. I use the "Reminders" app in my iphone and I use the "Tasks" list in my gcalendar. Right now I have the following lists in my reminders app: 1) Financegirl brainstorming, 2) Grocery store, 3) Target, and 4) Books. Reminders allows you to "check off" items from your list when you're done. So, every week at the grocery store, I check off my items from my list. In my tasks list on my calendar, I included anything I need to do but isn't something worth creating an event for. For example, if I need to buy a birthday gift and signup for continuing education classes, these items will be on my tasks list instead of on specific calendar days.
There is no reason for you to try and remember everything you need to remember when you have access to digital lists. With digital lists, you always have them with you. You can add to your list anytime you want and you can always reference it as a reminder.
A Final Note!
The best part about being organized is not that your house looks better or that you appear to have you shit together. The best part about being organized is that it provides clarity to your life. You can focus and feel calmer if you're organized. You will have more success and be better at everything if you're organized.

In ironic news today: Petitions began popping up after President Obama won over Republican candidate Mitt Romney. All the states petitioning to secede from the United States that obtained enough signatures to elicit a response from the White House — with the exception of Alabama — were some of the largest recipients of federal funding in 2010.
ABC reports:
Census records show that six of the seven states that amassed more than 25,000 signatures on their petitions to form independent nations in the past week took more than $10 million in revenue from the federal government that year.
The seven states – Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina – took more than 23 percent of all federal revenue allotted to the states that year.
Missouri also received $11 million and has collected more than 29,500 signatures, but the electronic votes are divided between two identical petitions, disqualifying the state from receiving a White House response.
Those same states also rate as having the highest percentage in income inequality according to a new report released today.
Let's just look at one of them. Ah hell, let's go for two.
Rick Perry's Texas:
The average drop in incomes among the bottom 20 percent of households over the last decade went down by 10 percent, while higher earners — the richest 5 percent of households — have average incomes 14.3 times as large as the bottom 20 percent of households and 4.8 times as large as the middle 20 percent of households.
Bobby Jinda's Louisiana:
While the poorest households have seen no change in income — after decades of widening inequality, Louisiana's richest households have dramatically bigger incomes than its poorest households.
The richest 5 percent of households have average incomes 14.1 times as large as the bottom 20 percent of households and 4.5 times as large as the middle 20 percent of households.
According to the report, and via dialogue during a conference call in which FreakOutNation participated in, the study's analysts conclude that the jaw dropping disparity between the classes can be remedied.
As reported here, the amount of revenue the states pull in can effect income inequality. In bad times, they tend to raise sales tax. Revenues are still 6% below recession levels. Once we see revenue, income taxes will be cut. By preserving progressive taxes, we can restore services. Maryland raised their taxes to aid education funding. Compare to Kansas, which afforded a large tax cut.
Workers: Assistance for job care, health insurance. When workers via the Affordable health care Act have access to health care, they are more productive.
State minimum wage needs to automatically adjust.
All states face growing inequality. Governors and legislators, can help their states grow. Education, indexing minimum wage, etc.
In short, that evil Socialist faction that they hate — which they deem as Socialism — could save these states from further disparity. Adjusting minimum wage automatically — the same minimum wage which some Republicans would want to eradicate completely — could turn them around. But, go on, secede — just pay us the money you've been afforded through federal dollars first, mmkay?Click here for reuse options!

Update on United Airlines story
September 8th, 2008 | Published in Google News
Aggregators like Google News were today the subject of news – this time pertaining to a 2002 story regarding United Airlines. For those of you who are interested in the nuts and bolts of why this was indexed by Google News, here are the details:
On Saturday, September 6th at 10:36PM Pacific, the Google crawler discovered a new link on the Florida Sun-Sentinel website in a section of the most viewed stories labeled "Popular Stories: Business." The link appeared in that section sometime after Googlebot's last crawl at 10:17PM; because the crawler saw this new link appear, it followed it to an article titled "UAL Files for Bankruptcy."
The only date found in the context of the article indicated that the article was from September 7, 2008.
The article was indexed and then available through Google News search, but was not shown on our headlines pages.
We removed this story from the Google News index as soon as we were notified that it had been linked to in error.
It has been widely reported that many readers were unable to determine the original date of publication of this article, and our crawling was similarly unable to recognize that the article was old.
Since our last post, some have asked why Google News didn't recognize that an old story relating to United Airlines' 2002 bankruptcy was outdated. We thought that a brief chronology would be helpful.
On Saturday, September 6th at 10:36 PM Pacific Daylight Time (or Sunday, September 7th at 1:36 AM Eastern Daylight Time), the Google crawler detected a new link on the Florida Sun-Sentinel's website in a section of the most viewed stories labeled "Popular Stories: Business." The link had newly appeared in that section since the last time Google News' Googlebot webcrawler had visited the page (nineteen minutes earlier), so the crawler followed the link and found an article titled "UAL Files for Bankruptcy." The article failed to include a standard newspaper article dateline, but the Sun-Sentinel page had a fresh date above the article on the top of the page of "September 7, 2008" (Eastern).
Because the Sun-Sentinel included a link to the story in its "Popular Stories" section, and provided a date on the article page of September 7, 2008, the Google News algorithm indexed it as a new story. We removed this story as soon as we were notified that it was posted in error.
While we don't know why the Sun-Sentinel's website included the link in its "Popular Stories" section, our timestamps show that Google News first crawled the UAL story after following the link from the Sun-Sentinel's "Popular Stories" box:
- At 10:17:35 PM/PDT, our crawler retrieved a copy of the Sun-Sentinel business section page.
As you can see, no UAL story appears at this time.
- At 10:36:38 PM/PDT, our crawler retrieved an updated copy of the same section. This updated version included a new link in the "Popular Stories: Business" section to a story titled "UAL Files for Bankruptcy."
- At 10:36:57 PM/PDT, our crawler followed the new link and fetched this copy of the UAL story.
At that point, our index was updated to include the article with the date that the story was crawled, and the story became searchable on Google News.
- At 10:39:57 PM/PDT, the Sun-Sentinel received its first referral to the UAL story from Google News, with a user clicking on a Google News link to the Sun-Sentinel's UAL story.
The Tribune Co. (owner of the Sun-Sentinel) has confirmed in its September 9, 2008 press release that the first referral from Google News to the article came after the UAL story appeared in the "Popular Stories" section.
We hope that this sheds some light on the situation from our perspective.

The character is kinda isolated and concentrated on something inside. At the same time, white monkey mask is a personification of wisdom (according to some African tribal art). So "Possibly yes" is an answer given by this character.

Kristy Johnson '05's Second Career as an Actress
From the 5/17/12 Daily Pilot:
Kristy Johnson found out the hard way that she could not overpower or subdue her creative side.
The Chicago native and lone female cast member in South Coast Repertory's production of the August Wilson play "Jitney," which opens on Friday night, gave up a promising legal career to start over again as an actor.
"I discovered that what I said I wanted for my life was not what I wanted at all," she said in an interview.
After a straight trajectory through Harvard University, the University of Chicago Law School and a great position at a top Chicago law firm, Johnson decided to scrap a career in the courts to pursue one on the stage.
"I realized very quickly that I didn't enjoy what I was doing," she said. "And it's not because it was hard work. I love working hard. I've always worked hard. But for the first time in my life, it was a challenge for me. I really needed to step back and see what would be fulfilling for my life. I discovered it would be a career in the arts."
With the brand of passion and determination that she brings to life in her "Jitney" character Rena, Johnson shifted course, becoming a full-time actress in 2008. Two years later, she moved to Los Angeles and began picking up work in theater, television and film.

St Helens' residents' health at risk with locums
Since the two permanent doctors left St Helens earlier this year, the east coast town has been serviced by locums doing short-term backfill. This is putting people's health at risk says a former nurse.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Dr Caroline Wright is a former nursing academic who moved to St Helens to retire on the beautiful east coast of Tasmania.
She is also a cancer survivor, having battled her disease with the help of her local doctor in St Helens.
That doctor has left the town and Dr Wright says the health of St Helens residents is now at risk with no permanent replacement yet in place.
"My concerns are that we are going to miss out on diagnosing cancers and the follow up care of cancer," says Dr Wright.
"For example for myself, I was fortunate that my local general practitioner, when I needed chemotherapy, she organised for the Launceston General Hospital to send it down to the St Helens General Hospital and I could go along each week have my intravenous therapy there.
"That will no longer be available because on a month to month basis you'll have different locums following up."
Dr Wright says she's received good care from the locums that have been coming into the town to keep the medical service going, but she hasn't seen the same person twice.
This could lead to mistakes in diagnosis and failure to adequately follow up with patient care says Dr Wright.
St Helens is a popular retirement stop and Dr Wrights says an older population is more likely to need treatment and care with cancers, which cannot be provided with locums.
Chad, a talkback caller from Launceston, works as an occupational therapist and regularly travels to St Helens to see clients who are recovering from long-term illness or injury and trying to return to work.
Chad says the recovery of these clients is being hampered by there not being a consistent GP in town.
"A lot of the clients I see up there, it doesn't come naturally for them to engage with health providers, so it's a big issue for them to actually go in and disclose some of their issues."
Mental health issues are often associated with people suffering long-term illness and this can be an extra hindrance to patients being able to discuss their problems with a brand new locum every time they visit the clinic.
Chad told Local Radio that his clients in St Marys, where there is a long-term GP in town, are doing better than those in St Helens because of the on-going relationship and support they get from their GP.
"It's an issue that needs to be looked at both on a federal and state level," says Chad.
Interview with Dr Caroline Wright and talkback call from Chad featured on Statewide Mornings with Leon Compton.

Music and Society in Early Modern England is the first comprehensive survey of English popular music during the early modern period to be published in over one hundred and fifty years. Christopher Marsh offers a fascinating and broad-ranging account of musicians, the power of music, broadside ballads, dancing, psalm-singing and bell-ringing. Drawing on sources ranging from ballads, plays, musical manuscripts and diaries to wills, inventories, speeches and court records, he investigates the part played by music in the negotiation of social relations, revealing its capacity both to unify and to divide. The book is lavishly illustrated and is accompanied by a CD featuring forty-eight specially commissioned recordings by the critically acclaimed Dufay Collective. These include the first ever attempts to reconstruct the distinctively early-modern sounds of 'rough music' and unaccompanied congregational psalm-singing.Read more
- Provides a unique perspective on the relationship between music and social relations, indicating the role of music within popular culture
- Lavishly illustrated and accompanied by forty-eight specially commissioned recordings by the award-winning Dufay Collective
- Covers a wide range of commonplace musical forms, activities and practitioners during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries appealing to historians, musicologists, practising musicians and general readers
- Winner of the 2011 Ratcliff Prize
Reviews & endorsements
"Marsh's book is a massive amalgam of evidence, much of it newly discovered. The richness is undeniable: we can be grateful that he has so effectively broadened the soundscape of early modern England."
Jessie Ann Owens, The Journal of Modern HistorySee more reviews
"Music and society in early modern Englandoffers a rich and colourful picture of music-making in the lives of men and women in the 16th and 17th centuries … this is a thoroughly researched and enlightening book that covers areas which have often received little attention from musicologists and even less from social historians … This is a must-read for those intrigued to know more about the everyday musical practices of the general population of early modern England, or the significance and meanings of music in their lives."
Katherine Butler, Early Music
"This is much more than a survey of early modern attitudes to music … Dr Marsh offers a striking thesis on the dynamic relationship between music and words or performance … A paperback edition should fly off the shelves as fast as broadside ballads and psalmbooks did four hundred years ago."
Ian Green, English Historical Review
"This masterful synthesis was 20 years in the making and well worth the wait … [Marsh] writes music history for his fellow historians, not for music historians or musicologists … and the work is the better for that, accessible to all with broad interest in the subject … Displaying his formidable, painstaking, and intelligent research and interpretations to full effect with lively, often humorous writing … the book as a whole is a triumph."
W. Metcalfe, Choice
"… a much-needed addition to the literature … Each chapter is a cornucopia of examples gleaned from primary sources … this book is destined to alter current perceptions of music-making in early modern England."
Penelope Gouk, Folklore
"Marsh provides extremely well-documented and beautifully-detailed glimpses into the uses and occasional abuses of music among all sorts of practitioners from early Tudor times until the mid-eighteenth century … The entire publication is a model of how exacting scholarship and historically-informed performance can be brought together usefully and imaginatively for a range of academic readers."
Linda Phyllis Austern, Renaissance Quarterly
"This new study by Marsh is an audacious undertaking, but one which will surely become the starting point for all serious work in the subject, and one with which established scholars will be required to come to terms … the work is richly illustrated and elegantly written with scarcely a sentence that is less than lucid. Music and Society in Early Modern England is based on a formidable body of scholarship, including the most recent unpublished dissertations. It is a remarkable achievement, and it may be a generation before it is superseded."
Peter Webster, Reformation
"A remarkable achievement … The combination here of archival research, scholarly circumspection, multiple critical approaches, genuinely fresh analysis of musical examples, imaginative performances on the CD, and above all respect for the lived experience of individuals recommends Music and Society in Early Modern England to a wide variety of readers, including performers of early modern music as well as scholars of early modern culture."
Bruce R. Smith, Music and Letters
"After finishing Music and Society in Early Modern England you'll probably be struck by how scrupulously and thoroughly it's researched as much as by the cogency of Marsh's narrative … the copious footnotes which Marsh employs are inline, and always helpful. Quotes and quotations abound. The expected exhaustive, albeit described as "Select", bibliography is joined by lists of abbreviations and so on to add to the sense that you're in very good hands with this material, all of it. In other words, this is a scholarly, encyclopedic work; and one that will act as the definitive source of reference for some long time to come. Thoroughly recommended."
Mark Sealey, Classical Net
"Musical life offers one of the better contexts within which to study society generally … Christopher Marsh followed that path in masterful fashion here in discussing the social contexts of the ballad, the catch, congregational psalm singing, dance music, and change-ringing in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries … by far the most up-to-date analysis of how the English Reformation affected church music."
William Weber, Journal of Social History
"A cultural history of music in early modern England beyond the reach of musicology … Marsh is not only learned but also very entertaining, with a sharp eye for peculiar practices."
Susanne Rup, Shakespeare Jahrbuch

I took my Sig P226R SRT Enhanced Elite and my Sig 226R DAK to the range today. The SRT because I like it, and the DAK because it had Tru-Glo TFO sights on it and I wanted to give them another look.
After a hundred rounds through the SRT, I picked up the DAK to re-try the TG TFOs. Well, the TG TFOs didn't work so well. The lighting conditions at the range, bright fluorescent lights behind and in front of my shooting booth, put the TG TFOs in the shade of the booth and neither the FO or Tritium showed up at all and I had to shoot by black sight profile. These sights shoot about an inch and a half low on top of that.
I ran my standard eval drill, five shots each at 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 yds. Boy the DAK trigger was feeling good! Here's the first five shots at three yards - Oh that 'shot' at about 5:00, isn't a shot; it's a tear. Usually I fold the tear back up before taking the pic. Don't know why I didn't this time.
I was aiming at the top of the arc of the orange ring:
Here's the accumulative 25 shots:
I have four shots out of the X ring; that's not good, but I was really struggling with the sights. At 15 yds I wasn't quite sure where to hold to stay in the X ring and I had just had new contacts put in both eyes and at times I had multiple front sights. :mad:
And here's the elevation problem. I stuck the 2 inch orange dot right above the 3 inch Shoot-N-C and aimed all five shots at the center of the orange dot (15 yds).
There are two hits right at 12:00, two at about 4:00 and one at about 8:00.
But, shooting the DAK was great and more than made up for the sights and eye problems - it's tough getting old, have I ever mentioned that?
Oh yeah, I'll be 66 tomorrow! Hmmm, not sure why I used an exclamation point there. :ticking:
Seems like this happens every so often. I think I've finally decided on a carry gun, in this case the Hk P30L or the Sig P226R SRT Enhanced Elite. Uhhhh, that's not a gun is it? Anyway, the DAK and P250 triggers feel so good to me. There's something about them I can't seem to fit words around.
I know some think the DA trigs are slow etc. and I suppose if one really worked at speed shooting, he'd be a bit faster with a short reset trigger, but...
In my Advanced Tactics Pistol class at Gunsite I used a 686, 2-1/2" revo, 6 shot (there is a 7 shot). We did several 1.5 second drills. The drill was a target would turn and face us for 1.5 seconds. We had to fire as many shots as we could before it turned back. We started from a low ready.
The first time I easily emptied my 6 shot revo before it turned around. No big deal you'd think, but. Consider that it would probably take 0.25 secs to react to the target and get the gun on target for the first shot. That leaves 1.25 seconds for 6 shots. That's six shots per 1.25 seconds which breaks down to 0.25 second splits. But by the third round, I could have gotten off a 7 shot had I had my 7 shot 686, or come very close to it. That would be split times just under 0.21 secs.
What I'm getting at is you can go pretty fast with a DAO trigger. I don't know that I can shoot much faster with any kind of trigger without an awful lot of specific trigger training.
One of the things I noticed though, is that by the 4th and 5th (last round) my trigger finger muscle fatigued on me and I really slowed down. So if I ever had to shoot 4 strings of rapid fire 6 shots, I might have a problem - my gun only holds 18 rounds. :tongue:
Anyway, I really enjoy the DAK trigger, very smooth 6 lb pull. I'd have every bit of confidence with a DAK that I would with any kind of trigger.

You're going to have to check the laws of your own state, county, and municipality (if any). There are no country-wide rules. Best would be to ask a lawyer for specific advice.
I am not a lawyer. Do not rely upon my opinions.
That said, now here are my opinions:
Usually, a legal shooting would probably have to be the result of a credible threat against your life, or that of another person, by someone of superior force and ability. The basic requirement is a physical (rather than merely verbal) attack, including either a deadly weapon or decidedly superior strength.
It is generally best to avoid any hint of brandishing your firearm. It should appear only as the response to a real, physical, deadly threat. There are exceptions, of course. If it ever happens that you must brandish, I strongly suggest that you should have a cell phone, and that you be the first to call 911 to report the incident.
Others may have better, or at least different, advice to offer.

The treatment of pleural mesothelioma is constantly improving, increasing the probability of a better prognosis for many people diagnosed with the disease. In addition to the standard treatment methods, a number of emerging treatments currently in clinical trials are showing promising results.
Although there is no cure for pleural mesothelioma, these treatment options enhance survival rates and improve quality of life.
Researchers currently are studying emerging treatments, such as immunotherapy, photodynamic therapy and gene therapy. Advancements in scientific research and technology make it possible for these treatments to improve prognosis, life expectancy and overall quality of life. Eligible patients are encouraged to apply to clinical trials that study these new and innovative courses of treatment.Connect to a Top Pleural Mesothelioma Doctor
As researchers strive to improve current pleural mesothelioma treatments, they are also exploring new therapies to provide more options. Emerging treatments are options that are still in the early stages of development. They are not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but they are currently used in clinical trials and continue to look promising for the future of pleural mesothelioma.
Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that uses the body's own immune system to help fight against diseases like cancer. The immune system is complex, but recognizing how it works on a basic level might help in the understanding of how immunotherapy can be used to treat such conditions as mesothelioma.
The immune system is the body's protection mechanism. It is designed to defend against pathogens (microorganisms that can infect the body and cause disease) such as bacteria, viruses and toxins and to remove dead or damaged cells. The immune system basically tracks all the substances in the body and when it recognizes a substance that shouldn't be there, it attacks it.
However, it is more difficult for the immune system to detect and kill cancer cells than germs or bacteria, because cancer cells and healthy cells have fewer differences. The immune system may not be strong enough to destroy the cancer or it may not see cancer cells as something foreign, which is where immunotherapy comes in.
Immunotherapy allows the body to recognize the cancer as foreign, allowing the body to specifically target and destroy cancer cells, while leaving noncancerous cells alone. This reduces side effects in comparison to standard treatment methods, such as chemotherapy, which affects all cells in the body, cancerous and noncancerous cells.
Immunotherapy is most successful when used in addition to standard treatments. Studies that have involved the use of immunotherapy and chemotherapy indicated a slight increase in survival rates. Research also shows a correlation in the enhancement of the immune system and pleural mesothelioma prognosis.
Introducing antigens into the body stimulates the immune system's response to kill cancerous cells. Antigens are substances the immune system recognizes as foreign, such as chemicals, viruses or bacteria, that are detected by antibodies or y-shaped proteins that bind to and destroy foreign objects in the body.
This can be effective in the treatment of pleural mesothelioma. Physicians inject the patient with antigenic substances that mimic the surface of the tumor cell. These antigens travel to the lymph nodes, where dendritic cells identify them as foreign and deliver them to T cells and B cells. These cells evoke an immune response and the body attacks the tumor.
Using immune system components developed in a laboratory, such as man-made proteins, allow the patient to adopt an enhanced immune response developed in a test tube.
The components used for treatment depend on whether the immunotherapy is specific or nonspecific. Specific immunotherapy involves monoclonal antibodies, cytotoxic T cell clones or lymphocytes to attack the cancerous tumor. Nonspecific immunotherapy uses macrophages, cytokines, lymphocyte activated killer cells (LAK), or bacillus Calmette-Guerin to kill the disease.
Immunotherapy has been making strides in the fight against cancer. The FDA has approved immunotherapy to treat some types of cancers, and it is now the focus of some mesothelioma clinical trials.
The targeted approach of immunotherapy helps healthy cells flourish, while the mesothelioma cells are targeted and destroyed. Standard treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, target all cells in the body, resulting in side effects such as hair loss and vomiting. Without the aggressive natural of standard treatments, patients can experience less severe side effects.
Patients with later stages of mesothelioma may also be eligible to receive treatment because of the fewer side effects.
Whether immunotherapy is introduced with antigens or with laboratory components, it does have some side effects, which are the result of kick starting the immune system.
The most common side effects of immunotherapy include:
Although immunotherapies to treat pleural mesothelioma are still in the beginning stages of clinical trials, the FDA has approved some antibody therapy drugs to treat other cancers, which means there is hope.
Amatuximab, a monoclonal antibody, is an immunotherapy drug and focus of some pleural mesothelioma clinical trials. Amatuximab (MORAb-009) targets and alerts the immune system to attack mesothelin, a protein found on the surface of pleural mesothelioma tumor cells.
Some studies suggest that Amatuximab helps the immune system kill cells that have high levels of mesothelin. One phase II study of amatuximab plus pemetrexed and cisplatin included 89 patients who completed six rounds of chemotherapy plus amatuximab and an extended period of time with just amatuximab.
Gene therapy is an experimental technique that manipulates the patients' genes to treat or prevent disease, like cancer, by repairing defective genes. In the case of pleural mesothelioma, the goal of gene therapy is to shrink the tumor size and improve survival rates when used in combination with chemotherapy or other standard treatment options.
There are multiple ways to achieve gene therapy:
Early clinical trials have shown that gene therapy can be safe and effective, but additional research is needed to perfect treatment techniques.
Photodynamic therapy (PTD) uses a special light-activated drug, called a photosensitizer, to kill cancer cells. The drug is usually injected into a vein, allowing it to spread throughout all the body's cells. But it remains in cancerous cells for a longer period of time than in healthy cells.
The most common photosensitizer used to treat pleural mesothelioma is porfimer sodium, more commonly known as Photofrin. It is a drug that has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to treat other cancers, including esophageal cancer. Photofrin's past success has helped show its potential and has allowed it to gain recognition as a FDA orphan drug, which helps it become approved to treat pleural mesothelioma.
In PDT, a doctor first injects a photosensitizer into the bloodstream of the patient. The drug is then absorbed by all the cells in the body; however it remains in cancerous cells for a longer period of time than in healthy cells. Treatment begins two or three days after the drug has left most of the healthy cells.
The doctor then targets specific areas with light to activate the drug, inducing a chemical reaction that kills the cancerous cells without damaging the healthy cells. For example, Photofrin reacts the best to red light. As a result, this pleural mesothelioma treatment has fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy.
Photodynamic therapy has shown the best results when used alongside surgery and as a multimodal treatment approach. In one study published in 2012, 38 pleural mesothelioma patients underwent a radical pleurectomy and intraoperative photodynamic therapy. In this study there was a median survival rate of 31.7 months for all 38 patients.
In a different study published in 2004, survival was extended by three to four months for patients who underwent surgery and received photodynamic therapy compared to those who were treated with surgery alone.
Scientists and doctors combine their efforts into research studies called clinical trials to test whether a new drug or medical strategy is effective and safe. Clinical trials allow scientists to experiment with new ideas and new drugs for treatment in different combinations and doses. The ultimate goal of these trials is to find a drug that can become FDA-approved to treat a certain diagnosis.
Because pleural mesothelioma is the most widely diagnosed form of this asbestos-related disease, a vast majority of clinical trials aim to discover a cure. Doctors currently are testing several innovative therapies in clinical trials, and our Patient Advocates specialize in helping you find clinical trials that are right for you.
Our team of Patients Advocates can provide you free guidance throughout the process. Whether it's helping you select a pleural mesothelioma specialist or determining the best course of treatment, we are here to help.

Standard treatment options for pleural mesothelioma include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. As treatment research grows, the combination of two or more of these options, called multimodal approach, has shown promising results for increasing survival rates.
In one study conducted by Dr. David Sugarbaker and others, 120 pleural mesothelioma patients were treated with a multimodal plan that consisted of all three standard treatment options. Results showed a two-year survival rate of 45 percent and a five-year survival rate of 22 percent.
Doctors can perform different surgical procedures to treat pleural mesothelioma. Research has confirmed potentially curative surgery is the best standard treatment option for long-term survival.
An extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) is an extensive surgery involving the removal of the entire affected lung, linings of the chest and heart, and the diaphragm. It can increase life expectancy and is typically performed for early-stage pleural mesothelioma.
While a pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) is less radical, it's still extensive. The surgeon removes the linings of the chest and heart, and sometimes the diaphragm, but spares the lung. This procedure carries higher success rates than an EPP and has become an attractive option for multimodal therapy.
Chemotherapy may be suggested as the primary treatment option for pleural mesothelioma patients who are not eligible for surgery. It involves the use of one or more drugs to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The drugs are usually delivered into a patient's vein or taken orally as pills. While chemotherapy cannot cure this disease, it can slow cancer progression, help ease symptoms and prolong survival.
Currently, there are more than 100 chemotherapy drugs available, but the most common one for pleural mesothelioma is a combination of Alimta and cisplatin. These drugs are especially effective when used before or after surgery, as part of a multimodal approach.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays aimed directly at the tumor area to kill cancer cells. It damages the DNA that causes cells to grow and divide. Radiation alone cannot cure pleural mesothelioma, but when it is used in combination with other treatments, it can successfully relieve pain. It may even prevent the cancer from spreading.
Radiation is typically given to early-stage patients after surgical treatment to prolong survival and prevent the cancer from recurring. For late-stage patients whose cancer is widespread, radiation therapy is often palliative rather than curative. The treatment shrinks tumors on the pleura and lungs, which alleviates painful symptoms and discomfort caused by the cancer's growth.
If aggressive surgery or other potentially curative options is not recommended for someone with pleural mesothelioma, palliative care may be the best option. Palliative care is treatment given by a team of doctors, nurses and other qualified health care professionals to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life, rather than to cure a disease. It is often referred to as symptom management.
This form of pleural mesothelioma treatment focuses on symptoms, such as shortness of breath, pain, fatigue, coughing, and weakness, which may be caused by the pressure of a tumor or a pleural effusion, the buildup of excess fluid in the lungs.
There are two palliative surgical options to treat a pleural effusion: Pleurodesis and thoracentesis. Both options remove fluid and relieve pressure on the lungs. A pleurodesis is often considered the better palliative treatment because it also closes the pleural space to prevent any further fluid buildup.
Although chemotherapy is generally used as a form of potentially curative treatment for pleural mesothelioma, it can also be used as a palliative treatment. The goal of palliative chemotherapy is to shrink the tumor to alleviate pain and other symptoms, as well as increase quality of life.
Radiation cannot cure pleural mesothelioma on its own, but it can be used solely as a palliative treatment. Palliative radiation can reduce the tumor size and alleviate chest pain caused by the tumor. It does have some side effects such as skin irritation and pleural effusion. If high dosages are used, pulmonary toxicity is also a possibility.

lol I thought why not Vampirella since Marge appeared why not Vampi.
lol I thought why not Vampirella since Marge appeared why not Vampi.
That's not a bad idea for an October issue of Playboy. Why don't you submit it to them for next years October issue?
old superman
So u double dare me huh? Well I did so.. But really not sure I want to see some dead girls xxx stuff it'd be like seeing one of the Walking Dead females naked. Yuck!! lol
Had something interesting on my Face Book today. Leeanna Vamp as Vampirella from Playboy.com (Could happen)
I think this is a great idea that has a lot of potential to appeal to more than just the small group of people who would buy the "regular comic book" Vampirella. It might even help get a movie or TV producer interested in making a Vampirella movie (or cable TV show).

The New York Giants might be off to an 0-2 start, but they're not your average winless football team. With two Super Bowl championships the past six seasons, Big Blue has climbed to the top of the NFL summit and captured the league's ultimate prize. Mired in a two game slump at the onset of this season, head coach Tom Coughlin is imploring this year's group to outline their identity and put the rest of the league on notice.
Famed for their ferocious pass-rush and potent pass attack, the Giants defensive pressure is nowhere to be found and Eli Manning's seven interceptions are tops amongst all quarterbacks. With the team's win column still empty, Coughlin is hoping to light a fire under his scuffling unit.
"You're anonymous until you make a statement," said Coughlin. "We need a statement."
That statement might take place in Carolina, against Cam Newton's winless Panthers in Week 3. With both teams in full desperation mode, the winner Sunday could take a major step toward salvaging their season.
A major culprit for the Giants' lack of success this season has been their middling running game that ranks dead-last in the league with an average of just 36.5 yards per contest. With starting right tackle David Diehl still out of the starting lineup due to thumb surgery and David Baas making his return last Sunday following a knee sprain suffered during the preseason; New York's offensive front is very much in flux.
With an unsettled offensive line trying to find its groove, Coughlin has been encouraged by his unit taking baby steps forward to where it needs to be.
"I think I see us getting a little bit better each week," noted Coughlin. "Is that fast enough? Of course not. But I do see progress."
