    Hi, all Having trouble with a Nissan Sentra (2012) and its CVT (continuously variable transmission). Have been reading a lot online about the problems this line of transmissions has caused over the past few years and I have seen folks claim to get help from Nissan corporate (NOT the local...

    Booking Room only on non Disney site

    just double checking - if one was to book a DLP hotel such as Cheyenne via hotels or expedia, are you still eligible for EMH? I can't imagine it would make a difference but wanted to hear from someone who has done this. We want room only and are not pass holders. Prefer not to pay package price...

    Hail to the Chief

    Had a fabulous opportunity yesterday, the President of the United States was nearby and I was able to get a ticket and arrange time off work to go over and see him speak. Of course the camera went with me. :thumbsup2 The location was an indoor athletic arena at the University of Kansas (they...

    If "Inside Out" is a success...

    Any chance of resurrecting/adapting Cranium Command? I know there are major differences, although I never saw CC on the trips I took when it was still open. But I have to wonder how adaptable it would be... And also, I just love the fact that Lewis Black is providing the voice for Anger.

    What's Disney's definition of a "large tripod"?

    Over on the Rumors and News board, a thread was started with a link to newly updated park rules (which go into effect TODAY). http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3333471 A couple key changes were made regarding unaccompanied minors and e-cigarettes. But in reading through the...

    Copyright conundrum

    OK, it's been well established that it's the person that pushes the shutter that owns the copyright, not the person that owns the equipment. But what if the shutter is pushed by something not human? Early returns indicate that it would be instantly in the public domain. To wit...

    Magicband battery removal?

    How long til someone posts instructions for removing the battery from a magic band? I have no problem with the passive portion, it's really the same as we had on our KTTW on our last trip. Nice and convenient. But I'm not interested in being tracked as I wander the property via the active...

    Kodak Xtralife II paper

    We scored a deal at Target where we got a raft of cheap prints. They are on Kodak Xtralife II paper, which to me indicates they are done either with inkjet or dye, correct? Mrs Thurl is all fired up to scrapbook with these pictures, so I want to see if I can find out before she starts: How...

    Photoprocessing at Target - Archivable? What's their process?

    I'm trying to figure out what exactly the process is they use at Target to make their 1-hour prints. The folks that run the machines (that I've talked to) don't actually know what the process is, they just know there's some kind of ribbon that has to get changed now and then. We often get...

    Front Row at Festival of the Lion King

    So we had just entered the Animal Kingdom early in the day and I was lamenting having left my 55-250 in the room when a CM came up and asked us if we would like priority seating for the Lion King show. We said sure, and they marked us down for a time and said to show up early at the exit door...

    Anybody going last week of June?

    Advice for fighting the crowds with regard to photos? Just curious if folks travel with less gear when the crowds get ramped up. We usually go in a much slower season so I don't know how much luck I'll have playing photographer. Anybody else going to be there then?

    Looking for a picture from Pop Century

    Does anybody have a picture of the 1972 sign on Memory Lane at Pop Century? It's the one about Pong being created and the Dolphins' undefeated season in the NFL. Would like to use in a personal project, if anybody has one. Thanks! (I have posted this on the photography board already, but...

    SD Card file recovery

    I'm trying to help a family friend recover files that went missing off the SD card in their camera. I've run it through CardRecovery and got a few files, and on the advice of coworkers downloaded PhotoRec, which wasn't even able to read any sectors on the card. Any other suggestions before I...

    Accuracy of wait time apps for smart phones?

    If you have used one of these apps in the parks (eg Lines, Undercover Tourist, etc) what is your experience with the accuracy of the wait times. Pretty good? hit and miss? not much help? I'm not on Verizon so I can't plug into the MobileMagic app. Thanks

    Anybody have experience with Zazzle?

    In a shameless attempt to earn money for more photo gear, I'm considering plastering some of my images on cell phone covers, magnets, greeting cards, etc. on www.zazzle.com (mods, I will not post a store link here). Seems harmless enough, no setup costs and simple payment process. Downside...

    Shutter/mirror noise?

    A while ago I was taking pictures at a choir concert and it just so happened that I squeezed one off during that split second between the end of the song and the beginning of the applause. I know it was partly the situation but wow did that "click" seem loud at the time (I got the evil eye from...
