» MRs and Global Warming (wasting gas)

I thought I would bring up this topic for those of us who practice mileage running to contemplate/debate. I am not going to pass judgement, and hope nobody else who posts on this thread will either. While overall it can be said that flying on airplanes gets better gas mileage than driving, we travel great distances on airplanes and therefore burn a lot of gas per person. For example (and I'm approximating values here), a 5,000 mile MR might use 50 mpg per person, so one person might burn up about 100 gallons of gas doing this. While it can be argued that these planes will fly anyway, we are helping to increase loads and keep emptier flights fuller which may in some ways keep an otherwise unprofitible flight from being cancelled in t...... - 2008-11-18

» Canon EOS 40D or XTi?

I'm thinking about upgrading my kit (currently 10D and a few not so expensive lenses) I'd love to get a full frame 5D (or 1D Mark III) but thats out of my budget range. I would like 40D, but I was thinking about going with XTi and the money I save, could help me buy something better a couple of years down the road. One major difference I see id Digic II vs Digic III (besides the better body) Is the difference between Digic II and III worth the cost? Again.. I'm willing to sacrifice the body for a few hundred bucks I save. What would you do?What would you do? If I owned a 10D I would have upgraded to the XTi a year ago. Why did you wait so long? :D Going from 6 MP to 10 MP is significant. Seriously, I don't u...... - 2008-11-18

» Dissipation Stage

Could someone explain why tornadoes often "hook" to the left (ie: Greensburg) as they begin to rope out? This is yet one more tidbit of info I need for a section of the book I'm working on. I'll be putting an acknowledgement (and thanks) to Stormtrack's members at FOB when it's all finished, as you all have been so much help! JohnIll do the best i can to answer although Jeff Snyder could prolly be much better at the details. Basically the tornado looses its energy and starts to dissipate when its cut off from its warm moist inflow. In the same way the cold air from a cold front overtakes the warm front and therefore creates an "occluded" front. The entire mesocyclone occludes itself outside of the warm moist inflow on the bottom ...... - 2008-11-18

» 767 on DL is 2-class service ??

I have flown on the L-1011 and the 767 on DL in the last month, and to my surprise, neither had a business class configuration, and the number of first class seats was extremely limited. I counted 24 on the 767, compared to what, 250 or so coach seats ? I do not know if this is common, but if might sway me to fly United more, as far as upgrade potential.Sounds about right to me. Depends on what class 767 or L1011 you're flying. The 767-300 does have 24 FC seats. The 767-200 has only 18. The 300ER, used mostly for transoceanic routes, has only 10 FC seats, but an additional 28 Business Class seats. The L1011s, and I admit to a failing memory here, having flown them very infrequently in the last 4 years, have 30 or 32 FC seats, and th...... - 2008-11-18

» Survey; Who has purchased the AC seat sale business class fares?

I would like to know if anyone has purchased the summer discount business class seat sale tickets (at 50% off full fare prices). I wonder what made you purchase that, rather than an appropriate economy class seat, with or without an upgrade? Have any of you had to purchase a full-fare domestic business class ticket, rather than this special half-price business class ticket (ie you were precluded from buying the latter ticket because of the restrictions with this ticket)?Not sure this fare is of much interest to those of us with Elite or SE status, since we can book a V-class fare within the same 7-day window for half the price of the C-class fare, and use upgrades for the front cabin. And for most business travellers, the Saturday night...... - 2008-11-18

» Params in Ext.data.Store not passed to the server

I noticed that my Ext.data.Store doesn't send the value of params (nor baseParams, for that matter) to the server when i call getStore().load(). The call itself goes to the server, of course, but the Request.Form is empty! I fixed the issue by sending in {params: 'bzzzz'} as a parameter to the load() method. However, i'd love to know why it didn't worked the expected way. I also tried to create proxy. That went equivalently fuilure-ish as well. I'm unsure what proxy is good for but that's a story for another thread, coming soon to a forum near you.Adding baseParams to your Ext.data.Store configuration should ensure that these additional params are posted with every load of the store. If you could post some code as to what you were tryin...... - 2008-11-18

» do not select existing text in text field when focus via tab key

When you CLICK into a textfield, if you want to select the existing text you might do something like this: fieldLabel: 'someLabel', name: 'someName', selectOnFocus: true,//select all of the existing text value: 'someValue' The above works fine when you CLICK into the field. I haven't dug into the source yet, but it looks like Ext probably just listens to the focus event and if that setting is true it deselects the text (for a brief moment I can see the contents get selected then deselect). The problem: if you tab or shift+tab to gain focus it doesn't honor the selectOnFocus setting. Not sure if that's my mis-use, a bug, or the intended behavior.does this happen in ie/fx too?To reproduce problem in IE or fi...... - 2008-11-18

» Fly to Australia for almost nothing!

I just bought two tix for two different people (a few months apart) on www.travelocity.co.uk (http://www.travelocity.co.uk) from Europe to Australia for just about 240 pounds ($360). This seems to be a giveaway and an internet anomaly!!! This is even cheaper than a fare between Europe and N-America!! The city search codes I used (and the only ones that produce this fare) are: TLL-SYD/MEL/BNE/ADL. The flights are on Estonian Air to LGW and from there connecting from LHR to Australia on QF flagship QF2 or BA flight. You should add to this fare the cost of a connecting flight from the US to Europe which is in the vicinity of $250-300 and you'll still get a bargain!

» For Math Heads Only: calculating mileage run value (long)

I have been playing around with equations to allow me to quickly calculate relative value of mileage runs. I need a way to compare the value of different mileage runs on UA. For example, let's say I can fly to Hong Kong for $550 and get double miles in March or go to Singapore for $800 and get triple miles in April or I fly to Columbus, Ohio for $115 7 times. How do I compare mileage runs to get the best deals? My method to compare mileage runs. 1. Calculate the $ value of Status miles for the mileage run. 2. Calculate the $ value of bonus miles for the mileage run. 3. Add the $ value of status miles and bonus miles to get a mileage value. 4. Divide the status and bonus mile sum by the actual cost of the tickets. 5. You get a rat...... - 2008-11-18

It is indeed like calling 112 when there is no emergency (Note: 112 is in Estonia the same as 911 in USA)This is an issue that crops up from time to time with any pubic service department.

» Earning Aeroplan status miles on UA flights operated by US Air

Well the title says it all. I just realized that I have booked myself on a couple of UA flights operated by US Air. Since I have a UA flight number will I still get Aeroplan miles OR am I out of luck?As far as I know, only Mileage Plus miles can be earned on UA flights operated by US Airways. UA flight numbers in the 2000-series are operated by US Airways.No AE miles if the flight is not operated by UA in this case. Sorry...I don't know the answer to this thought: Can you sign up for Mileage Plus before a flight and have those miles credited to United? I don't know if you have to be a member before you book the ticket or just before the flight. The other option is to try and earn US Air miles the same way. I don't' know the in's a...... - 2008-11-18

November 14, 2001 Parent of Alamo, National Car Rentals Seeks Bankruptcy-Court Protection By KORTNEY STRINGER Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL The have-nots of the rental-car industry are having a rough ride. Some small-business customers of Budget Rent A Car, Alamo Rent-a-Car and National Car Rental already were cutting back before Sept. 11 and now there's a glut of cars and falling rental rates. But the impact of the terrorist attacks has driven at least one of the companies into deep financial trouble. Tuesday, ANC Rental Corp., owner of the Alamo and National brands and the third-largest rental-car company, sought protection from creditors under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, citing the drastic decline in travel....... - 2008-11-18

Hello, I'm a reporter for a national personal finance magazine working on a consumer-focused story about the rental car industry. I'm interested in hearing your experiences as frequent travelers in dealing with the rental car industry: what you've learned, tips for more novice travelers, and also anything you've learned about the industry that it doesn't tell its customers about. I am also going to be posting this in the other car rental miles forums, so I apologize ahead of time for any overlap.

Hello, I’ve got the problem with memory leak. I use IE engine and when I refresh the page (clicking F5 in IE) the browser has increased the memory by about 500kB to 1MB. Its terrible. When I remove Your extension to YUI – I mean the line: memory is stable and does not leak. Have You any idea of how to resolve this problem ? PeterJust because the memory increases when you reload a page doesn't indicate a leak. It could indicate IE is caching things. 95% Leaks in IE are created by putting JS Objects on DOM nodes and I never do that.

» Bank Of America Dividend Miles Check Card

Bank Of America Dividend Miles Check Card Anyone have any advice, I'm thinking of getting an account just for the miles on US Air.I advise not to use debit cards at all. There's too much risk involved, since cash comes directly out of your checking account. I had a friend use a debit card at a take out place once. They accidentally significantly overcharged him when they went back to put the tip on (so he never saw the receipt). They took out a pretty significant amount of money; had he not caught it in time, he would have been bouncing checks. Unless you have some utilities or such that only accept debit cards, I'd stay away from them. dDoppy, again, as usual, you make sense! When you use a debit card you do not have the protection...... - 2008-11-18

There is a date in my Xml store. {name: 'birthDay', type: 'date', dateFormat: 'Y-m-d'} In my xml data ,the date is '2007-12-20T00: 00: 00', but with above set, I can not get the desire result ---'2007-12-20', there is null in display. Why?i dont see how the date can be parsed correctly if you arent providing a dateFormat that matches it.When you read the date value into the data store like you're doing there you need to set the format as the format that the string is in, not the format that you want it to be when it comes out. I'm not to sure about the 'T' thats in the date string that you're passing there, but you can use the examples in the date section of the docs to see what formats are available.

So I'm down in DC 2x a month visiting my gf. I always enjoy taking her out to fun places, but the scene is growing a little tired. Are there any new bars/clubs/lounges/restaurants that people in the mid-20s would enjoy. Typically, we end up in Georgetown (:o), DuPont (:rolleyes:), or Adams Morgan (:td:) at some crappy bar.

Also, are there any websites similiar to www.newyorkmetro.com or www.philly.com that provides constantly updated resources regarding the nightlife? thanks in advance!I am sort of partial to the Penn Quarter / Gallery Place / Chinatown area near the Verizon Center.

Well, what started as a simple MR to nail shut EXP for next year and spend a few hours in Tokyo has turned into a major trip involving getting a dear friend from SMF to ORD via SJC and connecting on to NRT where we will meet up when I arrive in from JFK then I have cashed in some miles to take us on Cathay on to HKG where we have 3 nights at the Grand Hyatt then back to NRT then on to ORD where we will split ways and I head home to MCI while friend heads back to Sacramento via SJC and her car. The trip report for this journey promises to be as complicated as the above sentence imitating a paragraph. So for $777.00 and a few hotel/airline points, I will finally get to ride upstairs on a 747-400 from NRT-HKG....worth it all. Plus, my friend...... - 2008-11-18
