    Gas Stations and credit cards

    mike_s you are spot on these "jobbers" many times don't own the gas they just own the c-store, so they don't have control over the pumps. The $75 dollar limit in the previous example is more protection for certain auth related chargeback rights. Some fraud deterrents that are being used are...

    Ladies, if you were about to be proposed to.....

    I'm not a lady, but what about getting an ingenious clam or oyster shell and put the ring in the shell and plant it for her or you to find it and open it. Need to make sure the shell won't have any adverse impact to the environment though.

    Bonaire Trip Report (July 7th - July 14th)

    Tim, As georoc01 stated it is much different and the dives are guided, but you can certainly minimize the size of the group by your selection of dive operation. Blue XT Sea is a very good operation and minimizes the size of the groups. Although Cozumel diving is different, don't read...

    Bonaire Trip Report (July 7th - July 14th)

    Just got back from my first trip to Bonaire, and I must say it exceeded all of my expectations; I am now asking myself why it took me this long to get there! We stayed at the Belmar and accommodations were very nice. We had a first floor room that opened up right to the water, where every...

    Inon D2000 - Advance Cancel Circuit

    Well it looks like I have lost the magnet to my D2000 that disables the Advanced Cancel Circuit. I am using my Canon in Manual mode and as a result there is no pre-flash and because of that it is recommended that the ACC is disabled. If I don't and use the D2000 in Auto mode and match the...

    Tv vs Av vs Manual - Aperture Issue

    I have a Canon S50 / DC300 housing / D2000 and shoot RAW and need some advice... I have done extensive research on all of the past posts on camera settings and feel I am proficient enough to shoot Manual (adj aperture and shutter speed, iso, etc). However it seems as though I am limited by...

    DSS Wing / Inflator Hose Issue

    The rubber gasket on the left is supposed to have the screw post connected (middle item). The gasket (probably wrong word) then connects the inside bladder to the wing and the inflator hose then screws onto the screw post.

    DSS Wing / Inflator Hose Issue

    So I dive with a DSS BP/W and love it. I am leaving for my first trip to Bonaire July 7th. So I went out to our local dive site here in Dallas to get wet and do a pre-trip check out dive. I am setting up my tank and stuff and go to get my BP/W to put on the tank and I see my inflator hose is...

    Ascent Rate Alarm - Citizen Aqualand

    Yes, you are able to have the ascent alarm deactivated. I have the same watch and had a Citizen repair shop deactivate this alarm. Keep in mind if they do this, it also deactivates the "other" alarms.
