I think the customary post-AE who got screwed worse in the merger SLI debate either drove everyone away or to a discussion of cars.

So they want to mandate that no airline can charge for the first bag.

In related news, the House is considering a bill which would require every chain restaurant to provide a free appetizer.

Panderers....

Walmart nail salon brawl sends teen to the emergency room
By Mike Morris

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
8:40 a.m. Wednesday, November 23, 2011

A knock-down, drag-out fight at a nail salon inside a Gwinnett County Walmart sent a teenage bystander to the emergency room with shattered teeth and a sliced chin.

Channel 2 Action News reported that the melee took place Monday inside Regal Nails at the Walmart on Centerville Highway outside Snellville.

The station reported that witnesses said a woman walked into the salon, became upset with the pricing, and spent the next half hour cursing at workers and other customers.

The brawl broke out after the children of that woman clashed with the child of another customer.

"And from there, it was off the chain," a witness told Channel 2. "Bowls were flying, glass was flying, hair was flying, braids was flying, weaves was flying, everything was flying."


One of those flying bowls, a porcelain soaking bowl, hit Ashley Corbett, 17, in the face as she waited to get her nails done.

"As I headed toward her, all I could see was just blood," Corbett's mother, Gail Dudley, told Channel 2. "She opened her mouth and her teeth were shattered."

According to witnesses, the woman who threw the bowl that struck Corbett ran from the store. Police are still looking for the woman.

Isn't there a lawn and garden section? Just go get a shovel. Who knows, maybe the prices are falling on shovels! Just like people will be. It's a good deal, serves two purposes here.



I will say I'm glad the crowd assisted. I hate the videos where nobody does anything and you're left wondering, what is this? Penn St?

obligatory on topic... I love Delta but I want to start an airline too. Seems fun. Have no idea what. Just want to do it. Maybe LAX-SEA in a domestic DC-10-30. Then LAX-JFK or something. Something classy. Which means no people. Just flies around for no good reason at all. Maybe just cargo below deck.

I get some weird looks pulling into the crew lot, but I agree people are uneducated about many things. My truck has 500 hp, over 900Tq, and gets 19 MPG lifted on 35's.

Prius drivers generally hate on me. Diesel technology is the future, and the past.

However I am buying another truck. I can't afford to be stuck on the highway in NYC trying to get to work.

My next truck ...



People hate "rednecks" .. but it's pretty amazing what they can do with vehicles. In sport mode (it's been chipped) this will blow away most cars on the highway. In econo mode, it will get better gas mileage than them as well.

I agree, don't drive boring cars ... or trucks.

American Airlines orders 130 Airbus aircraft
November 23, 2011


American Airlines placed a $13 billion order for 130 Airbus A319 and A321 aircraft, which it will begin taking deliveries of in 2013, according to Tulsa World.

The lease transactions with Airbus are part of a massive fleet renewal plan that the company announced in July, and could include $38 billion worth of orders and options for 925 Airbus and Boeing aircraft over 14 years, according to an American executive.

Airbus and Boeing have agreed to $13 billion in financing for the first 230 aircraft delivered, the story said.

The off-balance sheet financing and the fuel efficiency of the new planes are significant because American is projected to spend more than $8 billion on aircraft fuel and post its fourth straight annual loss in 2011, the story said.

American plans to acquire 200 additional Boeing 737s, with options for another 100 737 variants.

The carrier will take delivery of 100 737NG (Next Generation) aircraft starting in 2013, including three 737-800s.

Is that how you regularly park the truck?

Nice looking truck! I just bought a CCSB myself but it's not a diesel. Are you on gmfullsize.com?

No, they will FedEx to your house for free now. Go look at the most recent Trim Tab, they explain it in there. Actually it is on the publications section too. All paper, and fedexed all for free. Used to be to your domicile and to your house for 15 bucks.

I think he is asking about the training discs. Those will also be sent direct to the house unless you've got a POB listed.
