Look who owns the record @ The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo.
The Man, The Myth, the Legend...
I feel sick just reading that
Go Gators!
We live here in Amarillo and have gone to the 'Texan' a few times. While it's incredibly hokie and cheesy, they have some pretty damn good steaks and chicken fried steak.
As for the 72oz'er, that thing is just a monsterous roast. I saw an asian kid from Duke University knock it out in about 38 mins. Quite impressive. They put you up on a stage in the middle of the dining area...it's amusing and if you ever come thru here, you should check it out.
2 days and a wake up, though, til we leave this town for good!!!

SirFelix is right. They make a big deal out of it. Lived hear almost 25 years and never had the guts to try it. It isn't just the steak either. You have to eat all the trimmings.
It is a good steakhouse though. But INCREDIBLY hokey.
I got a new low, All 52 cards in a row.
Frank Pastore, who was a professional pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, ate the complete steak dinner in 9 and 1/2 minutes. (May 3, 1987) Pastore actually has eaten the steak dinner seven times. On his first effort, in February 1976, he finished the steak in 21 minutes.
Go Reds!

I would worry that someone would choke eating so much so fast but I'm confident Pastore got all of the choking out his system while with the Reds.

I actually had a Frank Pastore jersey as a kid. Had a Hume jersey too. And I marched in the baseball bunch parade for Johnny Bench's last game. I think it was his last game. All I remember was big hands and bad breath. I was 13.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

Pics: Peter Barlow starts drinking again
And I have to say, bottle or no, Peter/Chris does look particularly gorgeous.
Have a look at the pictures here.
9 comments:
Oh no.. he'll break Leanne and Simon's hearts. Hope it's a short tumble, and he picks himself up again sharpish..

Of course..leading to Leanne booting him out - again - straight into Carla's arms who will be drinking up a storm right along with him. OBOY!!! Leanne is going to get her's right soon...yay.
- 19 October 2011 at 01:04
Hmm, just where we don;t want him going - but kudos for Corrie in keeping Peter's addiction real - not like Leanne's brief flirtation with drug addiction years ago, which was over in about six weeks. Alcoholism is, regretably, for life. I just wish it wasn't going to be used for such stale plot recyling as the Carla-Leanne-Peter triangle. Getting mighty sick of the once-great character of Peter Barlow (ok, I'll admit it, the character I actually cried for when I thought he was dead after the Live Ep) behaving like a colossal tool. I wish I could get the bloody script department in the back-room of a pub for just one flamin' hour!!!
- 19 October 2011 at 01:26
Repeat Storyline, Awesome! just what we all wanted
- 19 October 2011 at 03:27
Agree with Cobblestone, Peter is acting like a total dickhead and seems to have a self destruct button. He has always been one of Frost's favourites but where we loved him for his flaws he is now becoming irksome and dislikeable. And for goodness sake Wardrobe get him a new jacket, that flaming black leather one has seen better days!
- 19 October 2011 at 07:33
I'm sure he dyes his hair, but yes, gorgeous.
- 19 October 2011 at 11:24
Oh dear. I really like Peter as a character but can't say I'm looking forward to this! I wish they would let Leanne and him just get on with things. It's all very repetitive at the moment. Too much Peter + Carla!
- 19 October 2011 at 11:46
Peter falls of the wagon and straight into Carla's arms where they proceed to destroy each other. Then there's the tiny inconvenience of Simon whom Peter was given a lot of money to care for. Leanne will seek a residency order or adopt Simon (whatever the legal proceudre is) and try to keep the bookies running. She'll have to seek some of Peter's cash as maintenance, I suppose. I think this could be an interesting story and I love Peter. He's weak and immature so when Carla finally boots him out, he'll be running back to Leanne. She'd never take him back, would she?

FFSakes! Who pays these script writers. Its primary
Coronation Street Script Writer 1: "what should we do after the scene in Roys Roll's this week?"
Coronation Street Script Writer 2: "erm..... i know!!! Peter drinks again. Its only happened 4 times in the past couple of years. It'll feel fresh to everyone".
Coronation Street Script Writer 1: "Great idea! Infact, lets make it so that both Carla and Leanne fall pregnant at the SAME time. NOBODY will see THAT coming!"
Coronation Street Script Writer 2: "Pay rises for us two this year after this little belter!"

Lamp Design Concept Lets Users Add Their Own Personal Touch
Bucharest-based Dragos Motica crafts illuminating idea that can be customized through strategic demolition
Most of the "customizable" products we encounter let people make or add things to create a personalized version of the item. For a change, the "/" Lamp by Bucharest-based architect/designer Dragos Motica lets people do a bit of "destruction" to create their own customized piece.
The "/" Lamp is a concept lamp design that Dragos Motica created for Romanian furniture brand Ubikubi. In his description of the lamp on his website, Motica posed the questions:
When is an object designed? When is an object precious, particular? What is broken and what is new? What means the result of a mechanical intervention (more or less violent) on an object? What is a vulgarized object?
The unique lamp concept lets owners add their own touches of personal style to the lamp by breaking or chipping the concrete cylinder and create their own unique patterns on the lamp.
The "/" Lamp, whose design is inspired by construction sites and industrial facilities, uses an LED and is made with reinforced wiring, concrete, cork, birch plywood, and colored textile cord. The lamp has a cylindrical shape and is suspended with the textile rope. It comes with a piece of rock that owners can use to break or chip holes in sections of the lamp to expose the wire mesh foundation.
The lamp provides direct lighting from overhead and owners can either keep the lamp as is, or interact with it and customize it to create a different type of lighting effect with a destructively appealing aesthetic. The more holes the owner creates on the lamp, the more light is exposed to create the brightness that the owner is going for.
As Motica writes on his website,
"/" Lamp is an object that gives the user the chance of choice. A subjective and personal choice. It is an object at the middle of two opposite states. The process of intervention or non-intervention places the object inside one of them.
The concrete cylindrical lamp has a height of 18 cm and a depth of 11 cm. The lamp also comes in various color finishes.

These days, you don't just make a movie – you make a Monopoly set (The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug), a watch, a cologne, a soft drink, a hat, a bag, a tent, a mask. 2013 has continued this tradition with the tenacity of a thousand wargs, with all sorts of odds and sods cluttering up warehouses all over the globe. Here are just a few of our "favourites", but please feel free to add your own suggestions in the comment box below.
Robert Downey Jr.'s third standalone outing as everyone's favourite billionaire playboy philanthropist came with quite a few suits, and even more merchandise. Certain special tie-ins were one-of-a-kinds, such as these Nike Sneakers and others, like these spoiler-protecting LEGO sets – "Mandarin Showdown!", "Extremis Sea Port Battle!" – were plain ingenious, but for the most part, they were plain ol' odd.
Witness these cufflinks ($24.99)...
...goggles ($21.99)...
toy cars ($60.00)
computer mice ($113)
electric guitars ($227.99)
...and cologne ($18.51).
Though, to be fair, that was for The Avengers last year.
On his appearance on the Empire Podcast this year, Steve Carrell admitted he doesn't mind that his character, Gru, is not really what the audience are going to see. The legions of kids are there not for the evil mastermind's pointy nose and ridiculous voice, but for the minions, which explains both the spin-off movie they're getting (with Sandra Bullock voicing another genius with plans for global domination) and these seemingly never-ending yellow-tinged tie-ins.
Straight away, your little one will want a 'Fart Blaster' (don't worry, it's banana-flavoured) ($39.99)
then a mind-bogglingly creepy armchair ($79.99)
then this appalling swimming-aid-shaped outfit (£34.99)
as well as a bobble hat ($21.99)
and, if they're feeling generous to the big guy, a gruesome Gru mask (£32.99).
The good news: Monsters University had some kinda cool skate shoes (£35.00)...
and some less kinda cool rollerskates.
The bad news: pretty much everything else. Feast your eyes on this nothing-like-Sulley-but-still-genuinely-scary mask ($14.99)
another harmful armchair ($79.99)
a worrying Mike watch ($19.99)
...and a throw that, again, looks nothing like Sulley ($19.99).
Then there is the torch that proves that the sun really does shine out of Mike's posterior (£19.60)
...and this potty training tie-in that we're too scared to show you directly.
Man Of Steel received a fair bit of flack for its unrelenting persuit of tie-in opportunities, but in their defence, these Warby Parker glasses are pretty cool, tough it's not clear why Superman has anything to do with cars, or Chrysler ones in particular.
Elsewhere, things get loopy, quickly. These (admittedly unofficial) "Tunnel plug" earrings ($7.99) are clever but inherently strange...
...and this Man Of Steel mug ($7.99) makes The Big Blue Boy Scout look rather distorted.
In the toy department, all similarities to the film itself fly out of the window, with Michael Shannon's Zod boasting "Demolition Handles" and a strange look on his face ($7.99).
Kal-El, meanwhile, gets a brand new, almost medieval suit ($7.99).
And one of Zod's crew – it's not clear who – manages to get trapped inside a "Man of Steel Flight Speeders Sky Slam Toy Launcher" ($9.98).
Pray for him.
There aren't that many Asgardian tie-ins for this year's Thorquel, but somehow Harley Davison got involved, which explains this picture of Stan Lee "riding" a hog on the red carpet. You could buy a special Thor outfit for your Teddy though, thanks to Build-A-Bear.
It's not clear what a "Glow Wand" is, but you can get one in the shape of Mjölnir (with an extra long handle) for just $9.99.
Thor "Adult Goggles" aren't as creepy as they sound – but only just – coming at $26.99.
...while this Loki hoodie actually works, in its own way, if only because of the horns at the top.
It's yours for $59.50.
Both the books and the films eschew materialism, vanity and anything that doesn't involve survival, but that hasn't stopped anyone from making Barbie tie-ins for four of the lead characters. Effie Trinket makes sense, but Katniss?
Still, at $23.59 a piece, they are yours for the buying. CoverGirl's make-up range also manages to totally not get the point, offering Disctrict-by-District sets for the poor and impoverished masses. In the flat-out weird category, there's this lightbulb ($7.98)
...and a jacket that looks like a fancy bin liner.
Once you've bought all this, be sure to eat some of Subway's "fiery" sandwiches...
...and start dreaming of what a Hunger Games amusement park might consist of. Kerching Fire, indeed.
Now, for everything else from everywhere else. Though there's no such thing as a wheel in their prehistoric world, you can get a Croods-branded skateboard with light-up roundy-thing-ya-ma-call-its.
This Oz: The Great And Powerful ring is neither ($5.98)...
...(or spellbinding, for that matter) while the price of this pair of official Great Gatsby cufflinks from Tiffany's ($350)...
...might send you into a rage worthy of this Wolverine 'Berserker Burger'.
Or, if you're not that easily angered, a Hobbit-themed "Bard's Pumpkin Pie Milkshake" from Denny's. Behold the riches of Smaug's lair!
Giving Tiffany's a run for its money are these After Earth Headphones that seem in no way related to the film ($259).
You can also get proper After Earth camping equipment, which seems, at best, to be very optimistic indeed from the marketeers.
But if you thought these were all bad, you ain't seen nothing yet, for One Direction know exactly what they're doing in this department. Marvel, then, at these documentary tie-in 1D pieces, which includes a special toothpaste – of course. Top tip: be sure to only brush in, you guessed it, one direction.

Mudhoney have always been one of those bands that I've tried really hard to like but never could because nothing of theirs that I heard ever been that good. Perhaps it was because I discovered them after the alternative gold rush of 1991, when they had been signed to a major label and released an album whose best tracks were 30 seconds long and sounded like Mark Arm farting into a microphone.
I had never really heard any of their old Sub Pop stuff until now. I've been listening to a sampler disc from March to Fuzz, the band's upcoming two CD/three record collection of greatest hits and rarities, and I must say, the stuff that people always talk about as being their best songs are really good.
It doesn't get much better than "In 'n Out of Grace," "Suck You Dry," or "Touch Me I'm Sick," but unfortunately there were no liner notes accompanying the promo, so I'm unable to reference the years in which these songs were originally released, although I'd be willing to bet that the better songs were from the Superfuzz Bigmuff days of the late '80s.
Basically, Mudhoney seem to be one of those bands who hit their stride in the early '90s, and have slowly gone downhill from there. And that's why they make compilations for the everyman, not pursuant enough to undertake looking for the original records, but rather settling for a greatest hits package in which he knows, every track will be gold. Thank you Mudhoney, for navigating through years of muck and mire to bring the consumer this necessary treasure map of sorts.

Apple might even have a defender in the country. Political party Yabloko is against what it sees as a "clerical police state" in the country. The party is railing against what it sees as a battle between the Russian Orthodox Church and "secular civil society". That would make the party an ally of Apple's if the Russian Orthodox Church ever makes an issue out of the Cupertino based firm's Apple logo.That, and one other thing. It seems that Yabloko, the name of the party, is also Russian for Apple.

Are You Afraid Yet? Paranormal Activity Could Be Coming Back Again!!
After coming off of the biggest debut for a horror movie, there is already potential talk of jumping off into a 4 edition of the Paranormal Activity franchise.
With the huge success of "Paranormal Activity 3," expect yet another sequel next October.
"I can't imagine that we wouldn't make a number four, and I imagine (Paramount Film Group president) Adam Goodman this morning is thinking about the challenge," Don Harris, Paramount's head of domestic distribution, told TheWrap Sunday. "I'm sure he's thinking, 'Now what do I do?'"
He sort of has to.
"Paranormal" is arguable the most profitable film property of all time. The first installment, made for a mere $15,000, grossed $193.35 million worldwide. The second, made for $3 million, grossed $177.51 million worldwide.
And the third, which opened Friday, opened to $54 million — the highest-grossing opening weekend for a horror film ever and the biggest October opening ever. Its budget: $5 million.
So far, the three films have cost a total of $8,015,000 and have grossed a worldwide total of more than $450 million.
How's that for a return on investment?
Harris said that when Paramount picked up the first "Paranormal" in 2009, "We thought, 'Maybe we can do something with it at midnight, or release it digitally, or who knows what? We put it in some theaters with no advertising, just online. And that movie went on to do $108 million domestically."
Also read: Box Office: 'Paranormal Activity 3′ Slashes to Best Horror Opening Ever at $54M
Now, "Paranormal Activity" has become an October tradition for Paramount — and that he expects it to continue.
"It's certainly possible to have another October release," he said.
He explained that last year, Paramount saw the success of "Paranormal 2″ and quickly pulled together "Paranormal Activity 3."
"I'm sure the right material and the right director will have to come together with the budget because they don't spend a lot of money."
via Paramount Exec: 'I Can't Imagine We Wouldn't Make Paranormal 4′.
I have to admit, while I am a fan of the franchise, I was a little disappointed in the latest one, It really looked as if it was kind of rushed together. But, we all know people love being on the edge of insanity and these movies definately take you there.

Tony Judt, the author of the best history of postwar Europe and a prolific writer on Israel as well as numerous world issues, died last week. Judt spent his youth in Israel, was involved in the Six Day War and began life as an ardent Zionist. As the years passed, he became increasingly disillusioned with right wing religious fanatics who have come to dominate the once secular state of Israel, and in his anguish at the loss of important Jewish values such as respect for human dignity and the right of people to express their views, he became increasingly critical of the Israeli government. In fact, he came to the conclusion the religious right in Israel would never grant Palestinians a true independent state which led him to the conclusion that a one state nation was the only way out of an apparently irreconcilable conflict. The most common complaint was that Judt was a "self hating Jew" because he not only believed in the rights of Jews, but also was concerned about the rights of Muslims.
It has become all too common for those defending current Israel policies to condemn any and all critics who are Jewish as "self hating Jews." Apparently, God only speaks to the religious right in Israel. Judt, like so many of us raised in the radical East European progressive mind set believe fervently in the right of Jews to inhabit Israel. We were raised to believe that as Jews we had to champion the rights of ALL OPPRESSED GROUPS, because failure to defend black rights or Palestinian rights to live in freedom meant we had become the –anti-Jew. Those in Israel and America who interpret criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu would undoubtedly have hated the original founders of Israel who wanted to create a just nation founded on human rights for all, not just for Jews.
I take it as a compliment to be termed by the current group of fanatics in the Israel government as being a self hating Jew. In my view, the ultimate self-hating Jew is God.

To my colleagues, partners and friends, old and new:
I could not be more proud of each one of you and the work you've done to design and create our new Cancer Center Clinical Trials Office (CTO). Although these last few months have often been challenging, and marked by long hours and lots of hard work, we never stopped doing what we do best—opening and supporting clinical trials, and providing the highest standard of care for the patients willing to help advance the science of cancer research and treatment.
This transition would not have happened as smoothly or as well without the strong leadership of our Steering Committee and the incredible CTO team we've assembled.
Dr. Thomas is absolutely the right person to lead this effort. Not only does he have the real-world experience of building a Clinical Trials Office at Ohio State, but he is a pleasure to work with and for. He understands the effort it takes every day to make our clinical trials program a success, truly believes in the project and the team we have assembled.
I am extremely grateful to the MCW Office of Research for assigning Mike Gill to assist with our project implementation – both our Clinical Trial Management System and the CTO as an entity. I have learned so much from Mike's approach to processes and challenges. Without his involvement, I know the implementation would not have been done as enjoyably, successfully, and certainly not in the same timeframe.
This new model, with changes in research staff and project management, requires a commitment of personnel and fiscal support from several departments. Our success in this endeavor is due to the work of many instrumental people, beginning with Brenda Brito, our business manager, who works very effectively with Departmental leadership, MCW Human Resources and the MCW Controllers Office. Their collaborative attitude and commitment to this project made it happen.
We have been extremely lucky in finding so many talented new staff to support an already strong team. The formation of the Cancer CTO created additional and new roles, and gave us the opportunity to reassign staff, better use talent and promote from within. One of the most significant benefits of the new CTO model, with dedicated regulatory, budgetary and educational support teams, is that it allows our clinical research managers and coordinators to focus on the patients. I am looking forward to the coming months and seeing the full impact of our new model, processes and teams on clinical cancer trials at MCW.
Thank you all for your hard work, knowledge and expertise. This experience has been one of learning and growth, of building new relationships and strengthening old ones. I am honored to work with each one of you.
Warm regards,

Different Windshields for Heads-Up vs Lane Departure?
My windshield took a rock while driving that promptly resulted in a 20" long crack, so I need to replace it. (Gah! I have Comprehensive but not Windshield Replacement coverage!).
Our F10 has the heads-up display, and I already knew that the windshield was different than for cars without it. When I called BMW dealership for a replacement estimate, they asked me the expected questions:
1) does your car have rain sensors? Yes
2) does your car have heads-up display? Yes
I would have assumed that once those two boxes were checked that would have been all they needed to select the proper windshield, but they then asked if the car has the Lane Departure Warning option. :dunno:
Just curious, is there a different windshield for Lane Departure than for Heads-Up?
Probably has a cutout in the tinting for the camera, which is mounted at the top of the windshield above the mirror. I would bet it's not the glass but the tint band that is the issue.
I seem to remember a thread from some time ago which stated there is some difference in the glass, or curvature, or "something" related to HUD. I don't have time to search just now...
I had to replace it on my 6, BMW sells only one type of it.
I have HUD and can't see anything special about the windshield. I added 50% tint to the windshield and the HUD functions the same as before the tint.
He was asking if the windshield is different if you have Lane Departure Warning. He already knows there is a diff for HUD. I don't know either, but it's a good question.
I believe it is different.
The area behind the rear view mirror is a different shape in the black area. Would impact how the device mounts and see's through the glass, as the least.
Not to confuse things but my car has no HUD but has Lane Departure so we might assume the windshield is the same.
I've got a $500 deductible on my comprehensive coverage, so the insurance is helping, but still a big dent in my wallet for a dumb rock.
This episode convinced me to get the $0 windshield replacement coverage for both of my bimmers and my Ford Ranger. $51/year to cover all three vehicles seems worth it after this experience!
I understand the install is guaranteed, but if at some point you have a leak that causes any kind of damage you could be looking at serious issues and an excuse for BMW to not perform repair work. Again, probably won't happen since Seattle is soooo dry ;) - but if you own rather than lease its something you may want to think about.
Good luck.

Bad Seller Alert! BIG ISSUE! Calling out 1badzuk for some answers...

Couldn't post up yesterday because I worked EMS 7AM yesterday till 7AM today and was running like crazy on the ambulance and I just got home.
Like 1badzuk says, we talked yesterday.....
I owed him an apology for dragging him into this so far. It was between me and his dad and he didn't deserve to have his reputation as a stand up seller on here drug down. I didn't know he did so much business on here and relied on it for his personal income so much. Had I known that, I would have contacted him personally. Again though, I was under the impression that this was a "Father and Son" sale, since he NEVER made mention that it was just his dads in the original "For Sale" post. I apologized to him yesterday on the phone and I'm doing it publically here for what it's worth.
Sorry for dragging yur ass into this.
That was 1/2 of the stipulation surrounding me getting my money back from them, no questions asked.
As for the other 1/2......
He wanted me to publically come on here and tell you all that I forged the contract. He told me his dad claimed he never signed it. I know for a fact it's real. I had to remind him that his Dad was a raging alchie who has major brain damage that can cause him to forget things and do stupid shit....
Like the time he had sold the truck to me for the full $1000 I had paid for it, and while waiting to pick it up, he "forgot" that he had sold it and then sold it to someone else.
Or the time he claims I never made the last payment altogether. Which I have proof that I did....(see receipts about 8 pages back)....
He even admitted that his dad has done a lot of stupid shit like this in the past, which I'm sorry, I really am. THat seriously sucks to have that sort of shit happening in your life.
But don't try to pawn it off that it isn't real and that he didn't sign it. It is real. He did sign it. Whether he forgot or didn't doesn't matter. When I got it back in the mail, it was signed.
I'm sorry he has a lot of fuckin issues, but I'm not going to be told to "say it's a fake" to get my fucking money back.
I apologized to you. I held up my end of the deal.
FUCK, I'm even letting you send me, (as you put it on the phone yesterday morning) "somewhere between $300 and $500 around the 3rd of October" and then another "$300 - $500 around the 3rd of November" followed by any remaining balance around the 3rd of DECEMBER.
That's 3 fuckin months I'm giving you low lives to pay off what took me a month to get to you.
DUDE. DROP IT! It's real. You're old man's a crook, a drunk, a crackhead and a forgetful liar with a bad set of side effects in FULL EFFECT due to the head injury.

Ashworth College Ashworth College is harrassing me with ceaseless automated calls Norcross Georgia
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I made the mistake of asking Ashworth College for more information about a program. In my request I stated that the college was not to call me, but only to use email or regular mail. Since that moment, I have received at least three automated calls to my cell phone per day. The harrassment has been relentless. Beware! Do not give this operation any of your personal information or you will live to regret it. They have pestered me to death in spite of my request that I receive no marketing or sales phone calls. I would never in my lifetime give Ashworth College even one plug nickel.

… some of them DO get it.
Observe samples from two students who responded to my letter:
As for myself in today's class, I had not had breakfast and I had just woken up so I was kind of a zombie and I apologize, but as for everyone else, they are just bitching. I've seen this in all of my gen ed courses. It is a required course so it's probably not on the top of anyone's priority list for classes. It seems as though the people who do not like these speeches are not going to like any speeches. These are very good speeches with great points and just overall great pieces of work. This may seem like I'm rambling on but I just can't stand when people do not try and work with what they have for the material in the classes they have to take, instead they don't get it and just decide to complain. These are the kind of people you can try and please, but 9 times out of 10, you cannot find anything they are going to like. I think it's a great class, but these seem like the kind of kids that don't want to work with what they have and since they don't like the class, they are going to pretend like they have reasons to back it up when the underlying factor is simply that the course is not something they wanted to take in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know but this seems to be the same thing that happens in all of my general education classes.
I have to say that I found both speeches to be moving and thought provoking. I feel that I walked away from class, not only with a better idea about speaking well, but with a better knowledge of history. I even went home and discussed the Reagan speech with my father (who was very impressed by your choice, by the way). Don't question yourself. I think all of the speeches we have read or listened to have been helpful and more so, eye opening. Don't dumb it down for the people who don't even try to understand the messages.
I do worry that opening up the speech choices will amount to "dumbing down" the curriculum. I also find it interesting that the students who tend to complain about the curriculum are the same students who don't seem willing to take chances and really participate in class discussions about the material. I'm not sure if that's a chicken-and-egg kind of thing (do they not participate because they don't understand, or do they not understand because they don't participate?) but the point remains that I really believe that exposure to these kinds of materials is important and academically necessary.
I worry that many students don't have a very broad base of experiences upon which to build their education – they don't have the kind of scope and breadth of knowledge that helps them to make meaningful connections between the things they know and the things they're learning – and I feel that part of my responsibility as a teacher is to try to work those kinds of experiences into my classroom. I'll look into including more "accessible" work, but I'm not going to take out the things that I think are fruitful and important and challenging; I'm going to keep making my choices based on what I think best serves the lessons I'm trying to convey in class, and hope that, every once in a while, I may open up doors that students may not have peeked behind yet.

The Lowell Experiment is an ethnographic study of public historians at work in the former textile city of Lowell, Massachusetts, which has invested heavily in what is sometimes called "culture-led redevelopment" as a way to reinvent itself after deindustrialization. Specifically, the book examines the interpretive division of Lowell National Historical Park, founded in 1978 as the flagship project of the "new Lowell."
I chose Lowell as my dissertation fieldwork site for a couple of reasons. First, it went down the culture-led path earlier than most other places and hence has served as a model for this kind of place-making and knowledge-production, as well as a testing-ground for what was then the emerging field of professional public history. And second, the industrial history on display in Lowell raises unusually critical questions about the development and consequences of industrial capitalism. That made Lowell NHP a highly interesting site at which to investigate the effects of public historical scholarship within the next wave of capitalist development, which is based more on the production of ideas and services rather than more tangible goods. The core question in the book was, "What effect have these critical interpretations had on the shaping of postindustrial Lowell, and what can that tell us about the potential for public scholarship in these kinds of projects and settings?"
In a nutshell, my answer is that critical questioning in Lowell's public history and heritage realm has been largely sequestered or enclaved so that its insights are not permitted to unsettle the positive image of the city's overall redevelopment project. I trace how this is affected by public historians' own socioeconomic positioning within the postindustrial "new economy." I also look at how the specific cultural politics of the city have created a division of cultural labor that reinforces the distance between the most critical of public historical observers and the areas where their insights might touch most closely on vexed contemporary questions in the city (for example, issues arising from persistent poverty levels, recent immigration, gentrification, and Lowell's ongoing vulnerability to economic fluctuations). The moments of provocative questioning at the national park and its allied productions remain essentially isolated from present-day discourse in Lowell in a way that is systemic and, on some level, purposeful.
The Lowell Experiment was the winner of the 2007 National Council on Public History Book Award.Reviews "[One] of the best case studies in the world of public history I have yet read, and a very important story to tell."
Edward T. Linenthal, author of Preserving Memory and The Unfinished Bombing: Oklahoma City in American Memory
"[A] landmark achievement in the application of interdisciplinary scholarship to fundamental
questions of history in the civic realm... Stanton has produced a study of the highest quality,
one that should be read by both aspiring and practicing public historians."
The Journal of American History
"[T]hought-provoking. [Stanton] raises significant questions about how decisions are made to develop
a historic site and how to interpret it, and she offers valuable insights."
Northeast Anthropology
"[C]lear, compelling prose... Those with interests in ethnography, heritage and history, the importance of people over forces (or as a force), labor and capital, community design, as well as the work of public historians, will enjoy reading Stanton's thoughtful analysis of Lowell's ongoing experiment." H-Urban
"[C]arefully researched, provocative..."
The Public Historian
"Stanton's stimulating and reflective work is a timely and welcome contribution to a small but
growing body of work that critically examines public history."

NEWLY-ELECTED COP vice-chairman Nicole Dyer-Griffith is both excited and reflective, about her win at Sundays polls where the records show she pulled in the highest number of votes of any individual candidate for any post. How does it feel to win?
Its been quite good, she replied. Im excited ready and rearing to go. She said she has many individual plans that shed like to do for the COP, but must await the formal induction of party officers. Further, as other officials would also have their proposals for the COP, she suggested the new National Executive holds a team-building exercise to bring together all these individual plans. Why did she win? She said her campaign theme, Ignite, seems to have stirred dormant members to come forward, and happily offer their services. But Im not sure why I won, but Im thankful to all.

Challenging Petraeus
By Ryan Anderson, Win Without War
Yesterday's testimony by General Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker before the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees left one vital question unanswered: whether the surge of U.S. forces is making things worse, not better in Iraq both militarily and politically.
With testimony last week by General William Odom (ret.) outlining the very serious danger of renting the loyalty of Sunni strongmen, and the lack of political reconciliation, there is significant evidence that the much touted progress in Iraq is only an illusion.
In a call to greater probity by our elected officials, Tom Andrews has posed these and other questions in an open letter to his former colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee.
Read Tom's letter on Huffington Post to see what questions desperately need to be asked.
Is David Petraeus Dirty? Ted Westhusing Said So, and Then He Shot Himself
By Melina Hussein Ripcoco, Brilliant at Breakfast, AlterNet
UFPJ Talking Points #57
By Phyllis Bennis, Institute for Policy Studies
Even before the House version gets underway on Wednesday, it's clear that Day One of the Petraeus-Crocker show is all about political theater - starring a 4-star general with a chest full of medals and political ambition, and a soft-spoken self-deprecating ambassador, both straight out of central casting.
But this is political theater - with very clear messages.
** Iran is the Problem in Iraq
** The "Surge" Stopped the Violence
** Keep the Troops in Iraq
** Support the $110 billion Supplemental Funding Bill for Iraq War
Iran is the Problem in Iraq
Sadr postpones march, threatens to lift ceasefire.
[Does someone fear nonviolent protests more than shooting?]
By Reuters
Iraqi Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr has threatened to lift a ceasefire of his Mehdi Army militia while indefinitely postponing a mass anti-US demonstration.
Despite the ceasefire which Sadr called last August, his followers have clashed with Iraqi government troops and US forces in the south of the country and Baghdad in recent weeks, leading to Iraq's worst violence since the first half of 2007.
"If it is required to lift the freeze (ceasefire) in order to carry out our goals, objectives, doctrines and religious principles and patriotism, we will do that later and in a separate statement," he said in a statement on his website.
He postponed indefinitely a "million-strong march" called for Wednesday to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, which had raised the prospect of unrest coinciding with testimony in Congress by the top US officials in Iraq.
Riding the Tiger: Muqtada al-Sadr and the American Dilemma in Iraq
By Patrick Cockburn, Tom Dispatch
Muqtada al-Sadr is the most important and surprising figure to emerge in Iraq since the U.S. invasion. He is the Messianic leader of the religious and political movement of the impoverished Shia underclass whose lives were ruined by a quarter of a century of war, repression, and sanctions.
From the moment he unexpectedly appeared in the dying days of Saddam Hussein's regime, U.S. emissaries and Iraqi politicians underestimated him. So far from being the "firebrand cleric" as the Western media often described him, he often proved astute and cautious in leading his followers.
Democratic Candidates Offer Their Questions for Petraeus
By Matt Stoller, Huffington Post
3500 people and more than 50 Democratic congressional candidates have endorsed a Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq, a plan validated by retired Generals, national security experts, and profiled in both the Washington Post and Dailykos (and mentioned on This Week with George Stephanopoulos). This is a new power center rooted in Congress, within national security elites, and among activists that offers a responsible approach to national security in which the question is not whether the tactics of the surge are working but whether our presence in Iraq is making us more secure. I've been asking several of the Congressional candidates who endorse the plan what they would ask Petraeus were they in Congress. Here are some of their questions.
Darcy Burner, Democratic candidate for WA-08:
10 Questions
By Amb. Marc Ginsberg, Huffington Post
When Gen. Petreaus and Amb. Crocker appear before both houses of Congress tomorrow and Thursday, Democrats should ideally position themselves through these hearings to achieve the following overarching goals:
-- Debunk the fiction that the military surge has achieved sustainable military or political objectives.
-- Undermine Sen. McCain's argument that staying the course is a patriotic duty.
-- Demonstrate to the American people that the recent Iraqi government defeat at the hands of the Mahdi Army was indeed the "defining moment" that Bush claimed it was.
-- Offer a credible Democratic approach to stay the course that logically will achieve more in the long run for American security in the Middle East than what more of the same can possibly achieve.
Opening Statement of Senator Carl Levin
Opening Statement of Senator Carl Levin, Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing on the Situation in Iraq with Ambassador Crocker and General Petraeus
April 8, 2008
Welcome General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker. Thank you for joining us today, and thank you for your service to our nation. Please express our deep gratitude to the brave men and women serving in Iraq both in our armed forces and in the civilian agencies of our government.
Live Blogging Petraeus Part II
By David Swanson, http://betrayusreport.com
Petreaus and Crocker are back for four hearings over two days. This is the first one.
9:35 This ain't gonna be good: Chairman Carl Levin just opened the hearing by claiming the surge was a success!
9:35 Well, at least he did note that there had been no political success, which was how success was supposed to be measured.
9:37 He's listing the forgotten "bench marks" that have not been met, including the oil-theft law (which he doesn't call that, of course).
9:38 In 1/07 Bush said Iraqi government would handle all security by 11/07, Levin reminds us. Levin objects to stopping reductions of US troops in July on the grounds that that would take pressure off Maliki.
9:41 Levin paints a picture of the US rebuilding Iraq (huh?) and blames the Iraqis for not footing the bill for the reconstruction of their own $^%&%&(*! country. (Um, who blew the place up?)
Secret US plan for military future in Iraq
Document outlines powers but sets no time limit on troop presence
By Seumas Milne, The Guardian
A confidential draft agreement covering the future of US forces in Iraq, passed to the Guardian, shows that provision is being made for an open-ended military presence in the country.
The draft strategic framework agreement between the US and Iraqi governments, dated March 7 and marked "secret" and "sensitive", is intended to replace the existing UN mandate and authorises the US to "conduct military operations in Iraq and to detain individuals when necessary for imperative reasons of security" without time limit.

Bill Kristol claims success. John Murtha blames failure on Iraqis. McCain agrees with both of them! Then the pundits use the Iraqis alleged unreadiness as a reason to continue the occupation. Cornyn and Graham warn of horrors if the US withdraws. Jim Webb complains about impact on US troops. Juan Williams erases the next 10 months, claiming the Bush administration is "coming to an end." Kerry complains. Washington Post hack claims that failure of surge is reason to continue occupation. Durbin complains. Not one Iraqi voice is heard. Not one peace movement voice is heard. And so it goes.

Exclusive: www.afterdowningstreet.org
Dear David,
This letter is not for publication, and my motivation is not political. I'm writing to you not out of concern for establishing the best policy in Iraq but out of personal concern for your well being. So, please accept my unsolicited advice as it is intended: purely for your sake. But I would ask you not to share this correspondence with anyone.
Five Americans Killed in Iraq Violence
By Ned Parker and Raheem Salman, Los Angeles Times
Fierce fighting erupts between Shiite militiamen and US-led forces in Baghdad's Sadr City. Hours earlier, the government had called on cleric Sadr to dissolve his militia.
Baghdad - Rocket attacks killed three American soldiers in Baghdad on Sunday, while fighting between Shiite cleric Muqtada Sadr's Mahdi Army militia and U.S.-led forces paralyzed the capital's Sadr City neighborhood and left up to 22 Iraqis dead.
Just hours before the violence erupted, the Iraqi government issued a call for the radical cleric to dissolve his militia. Two U.S. military personnel were killed when rocket fire hit the Green Zone, home to the Iraqi government and the American Embassy. An attack on the Rustamiya base in east Baghdad claimed the life of a third soldier, the military said. The attacks wounded 31 people.

HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, NY - General David H. Petraeus, Commander of Multi-Nation Force – Iraq will be testifying before Congress this week on April 8 and 9, with the 9th being the fifth anniversary of the US occupation of Iraq's Oil Ministry. He needs to answer some oil questions.
Speaking at a press conference in Iraq with Vice President Dick Cheney on March 17, 2008, Petraeus said that Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had asked him to call "large Western corporations" to get them to invest in Iraq's oil, according to United Press International. Since the world knows how eager the likes of ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, Total and others are to get into Iraq, Petraeus' calls were apparently necessary to give them some strong military assurances that their investments and people will be safe there.
Democrats Plan to Pose Tough Questions on Iraq While GOP Prepares Defense
By Josh Rogin, CQ
In hearings this week with top U.S. leaders in Iraq, Democrats will point to growing violence and a lack of political progress to reinforce their calls for withdrawal and highlight differences with the GOP in a presidential election year.
The four hearings planned for April 8 and 9 will focus on the status of the war — in its sixth year — and the broader implications for the U.S. military and the nation.
General David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq, and Ambassador Ryan Crocker will be pressed by Democrats to explain the recent increase in violence, the failed Iraqi offensive in Basra against Shiite militias and how the U.S. military will be able to sustain military operations there.
Key to their strategy is the assertion that after the completion of President Bush's "surge" of forces, the U.S. is no closer to being able to extricate itself from Iraq than when it began.
US/IRAQ: Petraeus Testimony to Defend False "Proxy War" Line
By Gareth Porter, IPS
WASHINGTON, Apr 7 (IPS) - A key objective of the Congressional testimony by Gen. David Petraeus this week will be to defend the George W. Bush administration's strategic political line that it is fighting an Iranian "proxy war" in Iraq.
Based on preliminary indications of his spin on the surprisingly effective armed resistance to the joint U.S.-Iraqi "Operation Knights Assault" in Basra, Petraeus will testify that it was caused by Iran through a group of rogue militiamen who had split off from Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army and came under Iranian control.
But the U.S. military's contention that "rogue elements" have been carrying out the resistance to coalition forces was refuted by Sadr himself in an interview with al-Jazeera aired Mar. 29 in which he called for the release from U.S. detention of the individual previously identified by Petraeus as the head of the alleged breakaway faction.
Tomgram: Ira Chernus, The General and the Trap
By Tom Dispatch
They came, they saw, they… deserted.
That, in short form, is the story of the Iraqi government "offensive" in Basra (and Baghdad). It took a few days, but the headlines on stories out of Iraq ("Can Iraq's Soldiers Fight?") are now telling a grim tale and the information in them is worse yet. Stephen Farrell and James Glanz of the New York Times estimate that at least 1,000 Iraqi soldiers and policemen, or more than 4% of the force sent into Basra, "abandoned their posts" during the fighting, including "dozens of officers" and "at least two senior field commanders."

Iran to OPEC: Stop Oil Sales in Dollars
Iranian President Urges OPEC to Form Joint Bank, Stop Pricing Oil Trades in US Dollars
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is urging OPEC members to form a joint bank and stop pricing oil trades in U.S. dollars.
According to the Iranian government's Web site, Ahmadinejad told OPEC Secretary General Abdalla Salem el-Badri the cartel "should establish a joint bank as well as having joint currency."
Oil is priced in U.S. dollars on the world market, and the currency's depreciation has concerned producers because it has contributed to rising crude prices and eroded the value of their dollar reserves.
Iran has repeatedly urged OPEC members to shift sales away from dollar. But Iran's proposal to trade oil in a basket of currencies is not supported by enough OPEC members, which include staunch U.S. allies such as leading producer Saudi Arabia.
Listen to the General on Iraq (No, not Petraeus!)
By Dave Lindorff
"It gives me pause to learn that our vice president and some members of the Senate are aligned with al Qaeda on spreading the war to Iran."
--Lt. Gen. (ret.) William Odom
In a couple days, Americans will be deluged with effusive, praise-filled stories in what passes for news organizations, print and electronic, in the US, quoting Gen. David Petraeus on the glories of his and President Bush's brilliant so-called "surge" strategy in Iraq.
There will be little critical comment on his report, which will claim that the surge is working but that Iraqi's "need to do more" to take advantage of the surge in stability to create a stable government in Baghdad.
British fear US commander is beating the drum for Iran strikes
By Damien McElroy, Telegraph
British officials gave warning yesterday that America's commander in Iraq will declare that Iran is waging war against the US-backed Baghdad government.
A strong statement from General David Petraeus about Iran's intervention in Iraq could set the stage for a US attack on Iranian military facilities, according to a Whitehall assessment. In closely watched testimony in Washington next week, Gen Petraeus will state that the Iranian threat has risen as Tehran has supplied and directed attacks by militia fighters against the Iraqi state and its US allies.
The outbreak of Iraq's worst violence in 18 months last week with fighting in Basra and the daily bombardment of the Green Zone diplomatic enclave, demonstrated that although the Sunni Muslim insurgency is dramatically diminished, Shia forces remain in a strong position to destabilise the country.
Rep. Robert Wexler Wants You to Tell Him What to Ask Petraeus
As President Bush stubbornly refuses to change course in Iraq, it grows increasingly frustrating for those of us who have been loudly demanding a withdrawal. I know you share my frustration. Every day, I receive letters and emails from patriotic Americans who want to - somehow – personally contribute to a solution.
Now it is your turn.
Next week, General Petraeus – the architect of the failed surge policy and our chief military leader in Iraq - will be testifying before the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
For too long the Bush Administration has been in a bubble – hiding from the truth and avoiding tough questions from outraged American citizens. This time I am turning the oversight powers of Congress over to you.
I want you to be the ones asking the questions to General Petraus.
Write me back with a short reply and tell me what - specifically - you would like me to ask. Please include your first name as well as your city and state.
Ten Questions for General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker
For Congressional Hearings the Week of April 7-11, 2008
Prepared by Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation
Questions for General David Petraeus
1. PETRAEUS: General, you told Fox News in 2007 that "Historically, counterinsurgency operations have gone at least nine or 10 years." According to that timeline, how far along are we right now in Iraq? Are we half way through, since we have been in Iraq for five years already? Or are we less than a year through, if we use the beginning of counterinsurgency operations under the surge as the starting point?

Counting Down to General Petraeus' Visit to Capitol Hill
Next week, General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker will testify before Congress about the Iraq war. As the media has reported, General Petraeus' intention in his testimony is simply to announce a continuation of the current strategy: maintain at least 140,000 U.S. troops in Iraq indefinitely.
How the Associated Press Lies About the Occupation of Iraq
By David Swanson
This typical pre-Petraeus II article shows well the habit that the AP and most of the rest of the US corporate media have of lying about the funding of the occupation of Iraq:
"Dems Plead With Bush on Iraq
"By ANNE FLAHERTY
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic leaders told President Bush on Friday that it's not too late to change course in Iraq and pleaded with him not to hand the war off to the next president.
"'We believe there is still time for you to recognize that a change in strategy is necessary to repair the grave damage done to our nation's security,' the Democrats wrote.

It's National Princess Week! Did you know that? As a mother of a princess I feel terrible that I didn't. So, my appoligies for this being a little late as princess week is already in full swing.
Now, it's the First Annual National Princess Week, so we are excused a little bit for not knowing ahead of time. I thought it might be fun to find some crafts for Alie and I to do. I wanted a share some of the fun stuff I found. But first up, let me show y'all how to make a simple quick tutu that is PERFECT for Princess Week!
Here is what you need:
thick elastic
Cut tulle into strips. Mine here are about 25 inches and I used 3 strips at a time.
Find the middle of your tulle and wined around your first two fingers like this.
Grab your elastic band.
Place the tulle you're holding underneath the elastic band like this.
Pull the ends up and catch them with your first two fingers, right in front of the loop.
Pull the ends thru the loop.
Then pull it tight to create a knot. The elastic tends to roll when you do this. It's so biggie just flatten it out. Repeat this for all the strips you have.
And…. VIOLA! You have a fun tutu!!
Those are her princess poses! Too cute, right?
I also found these cute crafts to try…

What are the reg's in your areas for crossbows and has anyone used one of these for hunting?
In Canada they are restricted - same class as a pistol. Special licence to purchase one is required.
In Alberta you can not use one during archery season. Only time they can be used is in rifle season which to me is not bad thing. I thought these were distance limited to the same degree as regular archery equipment just easier to use.
Do they have the same penetration? ie higher #'s but smaller mass of the bolt?

I love the products I have never felt better…I am very well educated in nutrition and I have not found anything out there like it…And it all started out with a distributor giving me some samples…whole foods does not compare… Never has anyone associated with Kyani has ever said its a cure for cancer or other ailments but I can tell you this I no longer have high cholesterol and my energy is great considering I have hypothyroid…Never felt better…
By Kimberly on February 16, 2016
Kyani is a nice product. I've found that since I have a pretty limited diet consisting mostly of yogurt, nuts, cereals, chicken, canned and frozen veggies. I really feel like the Kyani products give me some things that I really need in my diet and am missing. I had the 7day trial pack and really enjoyed it, ordered the month of sunrise without realizing that it would not come with the Nitro. The Nitro seems to be a key component, it really gives a great energy boost and helps you absorb all of the nutrients that the system is giving you. It is not a weight loss product, it can help aid in weight loss because it gives you some nutrients and minerals that reduce the cravings you might be having since you are missing those essential components of your diet.

ByNathan O'Haraon December 3, 2015
When my wife signed on with Kyani I was beyond skeptical. I was annoyed. But I love my wife, so I went along and finally even tried the product. After about 10 days she asked me if I felt any benefit. I'm pretty healthy anyway for an older man, so I had to say that other than having a bit more energy I didn't really notice any change. A couple of days later I was looking for something in a pocket of my briefcase and came across my reading glasses. I realized, to my great surprise, that I hadn't even thought about them for about a week. This was huge for me, because up to then my presbyopia had been getting worse. Now, after almost 25 years (it started right on schedule at age 40) it seems to be completely gone. The other big change is that I'm able now, after several years of embarrassment, to meet my wife's romantic needs (Happy Wife Happy Life, right?). If this is TMI I apologize, but it is a great blessing for which we are both very grateful. For me Kyani has made important changes remarkably quickly, considering that it is a completely natural product. I wholeheartedly recommend the Kyani Triangle of Health! With warmest regards, Nathan O'Hara

I joined Kyani for the products and on the recommendation of a very good friend. If it were not for her testimonial of health improvement I would never have joined another MLM after being in 6 before and 3 4 of them being extremely well known. All of which I never made a cent. 2 others had excellent products. The products in Kyani are super easy to take. Give me lots of energy and my health is improving by the day. It has an enormous amount of upline tutoring, courses, support and friendship not to mention the fb pages of support from upline. The ability to earn money is by far more than all of the others I was in put together.

This post is part of our "Airlines Behaving Badly" series, which chronicles the oft-wicked ways of the air travel industry.
Spirit Airlines wants your help. Proving that there's more than one way to view just about everything, Spirit is asking consumers to pressure their government representatives to end consumer protections.
Spirit Airlines has been having a rather public hissy fit, ever since the Department of Transportation's (DOT) new regulations took effect last week that require airlines and ticket agents to include all mandatory taxes and fees in their advertised airfares, and to disclose baggage fees.
Some airlines complained; most just changed their advertised prices to include taxes and fees and also changed the asterisk next to the airfares to reflect that change. Consumers now know the actual price of their purchase, just as they do when they buy a gallon of gasoline or a pack of cigarettes.
Spirit, however, dug in its heels. Perhaps distracted by its campaign to overturn the regulations, the airline simply didn't advertise prices on its site for several days. The dollar signs and asterisks were still there, just no numbers. Instead, Spirit.com greets prospective passengers with a bold warning graphic next to the statement: "New government regulations require us to HIDE taxes in your fares. More info here."
Clicking on "more info" takes you to a "say no to hidden taxes!" petition with links to representatives and senators. In the appeal, Spirit claims that by "hiding" taxes in airfare, the government can then "quietly increase their taxes." And as "the transparency leader and most consumer-friendly airline," Spirit doesn't support the new DOT regs and asks consumers to help "stop this injustice."
Yet the DOT's mandate to show actual costs isn't what really got Spirit's knickers in a knot. The new regs also allow consumers to hold a reservation without payment or cancel a booking without penalty for 24 hours — provided the reservation is made one week or more prior to the departure date. In a press release dated January 31, 2012, Spirit posits that the new regulations regarding the 24-hour hold and no cancellation penalties will result in "unintended consequences" and cost consumers "millions" by forcing the airline to hold seat inventory for those who may not pay for it, leading to unfilled seats, and, somehow, lost American jobs. Spirit maintains that the 24-hour hold rule is consumer-friendly, "but comes at a cost all must bear." And when Spirit says "all" it apparently means its customers.
Despite the fact that the new rules have only been in effect for a week and it's unlikely there is hard data yet on costs to the airlines, Spirit is being proactive and has introduced the "DOTUC (Department of Transportation Unintended Consequences) fee," a $2 each-way surcharge on the consumer.
When we tried booking a flight on Spirit, we did not see this fee listed with the rest of the taxes and fees. (Perhaps because it's not a government-mandated fee, Spirit doesn't have to disclose it?) Ironically, of all the extra charges that applied to our ticket, the highest by far was Spirit's own "Passenger Usage Fee," which you can only avoid by purchasing your ticket at the airport.
Gotta love such a consumer-friendly airline.

I changed the front sway bar and did not notice a whole lot. I think the slaloms got a little better. But I went ahead and dropped the money for the new shocks and got those installed and the combination of those two make the stock suspension seem really crappy. I run the fronts at full firm and the rear I keep at one turn back from full firm. The seats have to be removed to adjust the rear so I don't change it very often. The sway bar is adjustitble but I have never taken it off of the stiff setting as I'm not worried about the daily commute being stiff. When I go on long jaunts, like to Danville, I put the front shocks on their softest setting or it becomes painful after about an hour.
If you replace both the shocks and swaybar it will feel like your driving a race car - which is GOOD!
