» Star Alliance Lounge in HKG
Dear all,
Just wondering what are my options for Star Alliance lounges departing from HKG (HKG - YYZ). To my knowledge, there is the United lounge and also the Thai Airway lounge.
I have never been to either one. What is everyone's opinion, and recommendation?
Thanks!
Michael

[www.mksiu.com]It has been discussed before (try searching), but I think the general opinion, including mine, is: Go for TGThere is also a SQ lounge but personally I think it's terribly small. Between the UA and TG lounges I prefer the TG lounge for most aspects except the pasta bolognese that you get at the UA lounge.
Try them all why not!

» Allana Update
First off I wanna thank you all for all the support. I wanna try to address some of the questions you all asked. Yes the MRI was a full MRI that confirmed her spine is not tethered. It also covered quite a few other things. Because of her hemotosis on her head, when she was born they conducted a cat scan to check the plates in her head, so I am confident of her brain wise.
So on to the update. Allana saw Dr. D'Amato in Portland at Shriners on the 11th of this month only one week after I submitted my ap. She then was brought back in very swiftly for surgery on July 21st. Allana was officially casted on that day.

» More Reward Redemptions, But Not AC
Remember AC is not offering reward seats to Hawaii this summer. It turns out the opposite is the case the US.
In today's Wall Street Journal they state that because load factors are down .1% from a year ago this is 17,000 empty seats a day. And that a lot of these are being converted to reward seats. "They manage them the same way they do airfare sales, " says Randy Peterson.
So it sounds like the other guys have seats to Hawaii and elsewhere but not AC!
The airlines have also dropped fares so that it is a better deal to pay cash in a lot of cases than to use reward certificates.Why do you say AC has no award seats to Hawaii in the summer?

I am stuck. I keep getting this error message when I try to open a form panel from a grid.

Any comments or comparisons gratefully received.
Thanks,
Kenwithout a doubt - the answer is J on a 767. the 767 offers a footrest and the recline is better than on the 757. should help you sleep better.Go for the 767 -- much better. More room, better seats, just a better experience IMO.
--JimThe 767 wins hands down. And if it's a 767-200ER or 767-300 you'll enjoy an additional 8" - 10" of pitch over the 767-200.Wow, thanks for the quick responses. Seems the answer is clear.I (and many other frequent AA travelers) have strong opinion...... - 2008-12-20
» Please help - how do I upload images for comments?
OK I'm such an idiot but, how do I upload photos for others to comment/critique/view? I just signed up and would like to get started :)To upload directly to this site, you have to be a subscriber (I'll provide a link in a second.) Otherwise, you need to use a third party hoster like Photobucket.com, upload your photos there, then hotlink them. When posting from a 3rd party site, you have to enclose the pictures url in image tags, and it looks something like this, except without spaces: UrlGoesHere
Hope that helps...Here's the instructions on subscribing (second post down)

» Sleeper set to 420 seconds S3 state, but wakes up before timer ends
Hello everyone,
i use the command line of sleeper.exe to send my computer into the S3 mode for 420 seconds. Unfortunatly the system sometimes wakes up before this and displays that the sleep time is too long! I would understand this, exept that it does sometimes work. Is there a time limit to the S3 state?
Thanks
TinyTimThere is no time limit that we are aware of. Maybe there was some trigger that woke the machine up. e.g. keyboard or mouse movement.Thank you for your response,
i get the error message "Sleep time too long warning, Sleep Time 55 seconds"
The system wakes up after 37 seconds exactly. My test system is running VISTA SP1.
Thanks

» Show/Hide table column
I'm trying to replace the context menu of the table with a left-click menu. Menu is working fine but when i try to hide and show a column of the table i get some issues:
1. i must call recalculate() on the table to make the column disappear after i set it hidden
2. column doesn't come back when i set it not hidden even if i call recalculate() or in my app code the column comes back but without header (not reproduced in this example)

» New Alliance?
Can anyone comfirm this:
I've just heard that a new global alliance will be created in the next year: GlobalConnect.
This brand new alliance will include as partners :
TWA, Royal Jordanian, Ethiopian Airlines, Icelandair, Cubana de Aviacion and Viet-Nam Airlines.
This alliance will offer many connctions facilities throughout the world with gateways like Amman, St-Louis, Rejkyavik, Hanoi, Havana, ...
It will be made official in Saint Louis by feb 2000.I assume this is not to be taken seriously. First of all, there is no way an American carrier would consider a business deal with Cubana (let alone the State Dept. condoning it).
Secondly, having traveled on Vietnam Airlines, I doubt TWA would want their name tied to a carrier with a t...... - 2008-12-20
» yyz-fco S class
Hi,
I am interested in purchasing a return ticket in S class from YUL to FCO.
the departure date would be: DEC 23 and the return date: Jan 3.
AC890 and AC 891 fly on those dates (yyz-fco).
Last year I did the same and I travelled in S (which actually turned out to be a J). I just called AC and I was told that they haven't come up with a price for S class on that route yet. What does that mean?
Do you think that once they have come up with a price it'll be comparable to last year's?
atm ac890 and ac 891 look quite empty.
thanks a lot!I just called AC and I was told that they haven't come up with a price for S class on that route yet. What does that mean?It means that AC hasn't yet published any S-class fares that would...... - 2008-12-20

» Studio Portrait Photography
I've been using my DSLR for a couple of years now shooting family, friends, etc and last year I went on cruise vacation and there were studio stations for everyone for everyone to take their formal pictures before dinner.
Is it hard to learn studio portrait photography?
Where/How can I learn?
What equipment / brand names should i buy?
What range in price does the equipment cost (lights, umbrellas, reflectors etc)? I don't want the cheapy stuff...i want the equipment to be durable and last for years.
What lens' are mostly used for studio portrait photography?
If I get good, maybe i'll start a home business....just an idea.
Thanks for reading,

Just had the pleasure of sitting on a very dirty leather seat in the newly remodeled Seattle board room.
Thought I would chance seats only to discover the all the leather seats were all stained and nasty looking
I chose to sit on the floor in the corner where the rug was semi clear of crusty crawly little things.
Nows I an enjoying myself in the Alaska LAX board room, cleaner that the Seattle location but desperately in need some updates and how about some wireless here. Where all tripping over each others laptop cords.
And what about those black toilets in the mens restroom? What are they trying to hide?
Scares me, but Im just happy to be on the way after the mess at SeaTac last Sunday

I have been using RM for over a year and its been great, that was ver. 5. Now I downloaded and ran 7 and its seems ok. Now I add a disaster and had to reload OS and all software. Nowadays what I do is save all my files and programs on external disk. When I want to load anything that is not on CD I click it on external disk and load it as defualt onto C drive. I say all this as this might be relavant.
