发帖数: 340 | 1 I heard that UA only allow one luggage(50lb) free for international travel.
My parents will fly back to china soon, just want to figure out how much the
second luggage(50lb) will be charged if they choose UA?We have UA mileages
accumulated and may use the mileage for their travel to China.
If we paid the charge for second luaage in US, do they have to pay the
second luggaue again in China if tranfer from Beijing or Shanghai to other
cities?
Thanks in advance.

发帖数: 1700 | 2 今天在 ebay 上拍个 smart phone，被 outbid 了，结果现在收到
second chance offer，感觉不太对劲：
1. 此人最近一次有个差评，总共也就 32 个评价，85.7%
2. 最后十秒钟三个人出价，我用的 sniper，被另外两个 outbid。
最后的 winning bidder 是 0 记录，怀疑是马甲
现在还不到 8 个钟头，我就收到 second chance offer，另一个
比我出价高一点的 bidder 为什么没有收到 second chance，或者
收到后据绝了？
这个记录的 item number: 180555310585

REGINA — Aerosmith has postponed a second Canadian show due to lead singer
Steven Tyler's injuries, but a spokesman for the concert promoter says
rescheduled dates should be announced within days.
Tyler, 61, tumbled off stage during a concert Wednesday and reportedly

There might be only one timeout left, or he is just too stupid to have a 20

The French and German economies both managed 0.2 percent growth in the July-

70年代之前，法律界对于second amendment的解读就像坑王一样，拥枪权保留给
militia, 是"collective right".
NRA几十年如一日，通过金钱收买法律学者，不停的发paper, 宣传拥枪权是individual
right. 随着paper越来越多，逐渐改变了法律界对second amendment的主流看法。最
后在DC v Heller一案开花结果，supreme court正式承认拥枪权是individual right.
所以做什么事都要有长远的眼光，要持之以恒。虽然左派把持学术界，但是学术界的左
派中有大把软骨头，很容易收买。只要肯花钱，花时间，总能找到足够多的无耻文人，
