Buying The same movie over and over again.

Verified Purchase:Yes
The movie is of course fantastic. I am not going to sing it's praises once again, by now Peter Jackson's movie's have proven themselves to be great. The thing I am having trouble with is - this is the third time I've purchased this movie. I bought it when it first came out and was glad to have it. Then a collector's version came out with a real nice case that was like a book. This was a beautiful piece and as a collector I really wanted it so I bought it. Now here comes the "Extended" version with 25 minutes of unseen footage. Well....I HAVE to Have that so I buy it again. I am sure that after the third movie in the series is released there will be a box set and I will have to but that too! <sigh> O well, the price I have to pay for being a collector :) If you don't all ready have this movie, this is the version to get, or wait for the box set.

Welcome Back, Garth

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a big Garth Brooks fan and have anxiously awaited his return to the country music scene. This CD does not disappoint. If you are a fan there are a number of songs that remind me of his earlier stuff, and you can hear the influences he has often sighted in the music (Billy Joel, James Taylor, the Eagles et al) There are a couple of tracks that I am not crazy about, but that is true with any album I think. I am sure that the more I listen to them, they will grow on me. Welcome back, Garth, and thanks.

Great for collectors

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like when I can get something that no one else offers. At Best Buy thay offered a steel book case version of this terrific movie for the same price as one in a regular plastic case. It has 3D/BluRay/DVD versions inside and the case looks like an old walkman cassette player. Very unique and very cool. As a collector it is a wonderful addition to my library. It helps that the movie is so good too.

Sci Fi Groundhog Day
on October 11, 2014
Posted by: thx296
from Charlottesville, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Like Bill Murray's Groundhog Day, Tom Cruise finds himself reliving the same day over and over in a Sci-Fi thriller that is not for those who don't like movies that you have to pay attention to. The plot is a little complicated, but the sic-fi action coupled with a little dark humor makes this an enjoyable movie.

Why change a good thing?
on September 27, 2014
Posted by: thx296
from Charlottesville, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have had every version of this software ever since it came out. The best thing I liked about it was how easy it was to use. Drag and drop, left to right, top to bottom, click on menus. It was terrific. In version 16 they changed it drastically, and said it was "better." I disagreed and returned it, preferring to use the older version 15. When 17 came out I decided to give it another shot. It IS still very different from what I am used to. I consider myself a pretty tech savvy guy. I am not slow to learn new things, and I got the hang of this after using it a few times, but it is still very complicated when compared to earlier versions. This is NOT for beginners and can be frustrating. Allow a lot more time to create even the simplest projects and prepare to view tutorials because you just can't "Do" a lot of things like you could in older versions.

Don't HAVE to love football
on September 5, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
As a movie this is good because the story doesn't depend on knowing and loving football. The acting is good, and the story is a combination of drama, comedy and romance.

Modern Sci-Fi
on August 23, 2014
Posted by: thx296
from Charlottesville, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie was interesting, but a little slow and the story didn't let you care about the main actors enough to create any tension as to what was going to happen. Kate Mara as the "bad guy" was the best character and she was hardly in the movie at all. If you like Sci-Fi then this movie is a good representation of how far modern Sci-Fi movie making has come and it is worth watching, but it is not on par with say Blade Runner or of the other "stories with a message" type sic-fi movies.

The T50 is not your run-of-the-mill floor standing tower speaker. Just snap off the grill and take a look under the hood - you'll love what you see. With one 1" silk dome tweeter, one 6.25" extended throw composite driver, and two performance tuned front-firing sub bass radiators~all engineered with Polk~s proprietary Dynamic Balance technology, its highs send sound soaring, its mids are made to shred, and the bass you crave gets a massive boost even at the lowest frequencies. Its audio improved - for the people, by the people - signed, sealed and delivered! Easy to setup, supports Dolby and DTS, and connects to most home theater receivers, stereos or home theater processors. Have fun and play but prepare to be blown away!
Samsung WE357AP Laundry Pedestal - for Dryer, Washer - 15.4" Height - Platinum
Just purchased a WF448AAP and pedestal, there were no instructions for mounting the pedestal or an installation kit. How do you mount it properly?
There are 4 clamps on each corner on the top of the pedestals. You unscrew the locking screw on the clamps and open them ups. Place the machine on top so the four legs of each machine are in between the two half of the clamp. Once the machine is properly aligned in the clamps, close the clamps around the legs and screw them back together to hold them. Make sure you level the pedestals in their final position on the floor before mounting the machine as they become quite heavy and leveling will be difficult once they are attached.
