Yeah...tonight.

Any of the recent ICN visitors know which subway station I should use for visiting the spa at the W Walker Hill? Not surprisingly their wesite only explains how to get a limo from KE. :rolleyes:

Also, how much time and money should I budget for that?

I've found a couple good walking tour guides and some recommendations for food so I'm pretty excited about that day all of a sudden.

It's being closed in a few weeks.

Is there a way to turn off the damned camera click noise on a Blackberry? I've not been able to find out how to control that. None of the modes/settings seem to allow it. :rolleyes:


What if you mute the phone itself. I think one of the reasons for the noise is to let other around you know you are taking pictures of them is it not?

I don't remember any of them mentioning the subway, I know ALCO took the KE Limo bus or the DongBus that he always posts a picture of.
Enjoy the trip.

Muting doesn't do it. The only solution seems to be connecting a set of headphones to the headphone jack.

This other teaching prep exam goes into the way back machine, big time. I can't remember the last time I asked myself what the main idea of a passage is.

You're going to make me go back to my Praxis scores to see what I got under "Reading Comprehension".

I have had a nap and thinking a lot better now bright and early this morning in the IAH Term A Pclub I was told that if they can't get United over in that side of the A Term by Nov the club will be closing :(

However, AC has 2 planes there at one time this morning, and a lot of people waiting, so there is already one :-:A partner there with some demand, and this was at 6am or so! AC was utilizing 2 gates at the time, which was the first time I'd seen that.

Just boarded PIT-PHL on US. The only seat for sale when I booked it was paid F for $120 while the ERJ that went earlier was twice that for Y. When I made the left turn to go to the F cabin, I realized that this is an intl. configured 757 with big-... (a bit old but still comfy) seats . Considering I rarely fly US and most of my CO flights are on ERJ's and 73's, this is a nice treat even if it's only for a one hour flight.

Haha.

I'm debating whether or not to take my Reading and Math sections on paper or on computer. The carrot of getting the scores right away doesn't seem worthy vs. the stick of having to do comprehension exercises on screen instead of on paper. Unless paper is ridiculously more expensive, which I can't recall at the moment, I'd rather test on paper and wait for scores.

i agree fully.

Yesterday I was talking to someone about how painful it is to read electronic books. Even the kindle...I know how some here like it, but I hated it and the sony reader in my testing of it the last 3 weeks.

I rocked the computer-based GRE but Praxis was only available on paper when I took the exam, and was only offered like once every 3 months ...

On could use his/her spam account to register for a free Chick-Fil-A sandwich; the direct website is chickenwave.com but I insist upon linking from the company offering a promotion's home page (yes, a bit paranoid I am).

Good Afternoon Box.

It's currently 90 outside and 81 inside. :td:

It's official. I didn't clear the waitlist, for a class I need to become qualified for the area I wish to work in. Going to Plan B....which means I will still be working at the Gates. I am n:mad:t happy.

sounds like I left at the right time....

Sorry about work, do they not let people know in advance about such needs of training, or just conveniently left it out?

I was stunned at amazed at how busy SFO was at midnight last night, and for that matter IAH this morning. Lots of people, everywhere! C South PClub was busy, A was packed, only a few seats open.

This is what I remember from before. I'll have to go read the SPG forum now.
