Perennial holiday film classic relates the tale of InchKris Kringle,Inch a Macy's department store Santa Claus (Edmund Gwenn, in an Academy Award-winning performance)claiming to be the genuine article-much to the consternation of pragmatic store event director Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara) who is raising her daughter (Natalie Wood) not to believe in fantasy. But when the gift-giver is declared insane, a good-hearted lawyer (John Payne) fights to prove that the man truly is jolly old St. Nicholas.

Some Original Christmas Cheer...Do You Believe?
on December 17, 2021
Posted by: Tomm
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my favorite rendition of this title... While the cover shot is in color, the film is in the original black and white, which was fine for me. Also, the film can only be viewed in the original full frame aspect. The rendition is clear, and doesn't suffer from being viewed in HD.

I'll leave it you whether you like the actual titles, if you're not sure, go out to IMDB for the synopsis. However, included with the stated titles are 6 other Peanuts episodes, some forgettable, others are good. The extras are:
- Charlie Brown's All Stars
- It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown
- It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown
- It's Magic, Charlie Brown
- Play It Again, Charlie Brown
- The Mayflower Voyagers
In addition to that, each title can be viewed in original 4:3 full screen, or, pan-and-scanned 16:9 wide screen. The renditions are pretty good, and don't suffer from being viewed in HD, making the collection a pretty good buy in my book.

Extended ed + UHD a must if you like this movie
on October 9, 2021
Posted by: Tomm
Verified Purchase:Yes
For a thorough synopsis of the movie plot. etc., head out to IMDB. If you like this movie, the extended edition adds over 10 minutes of material. Some of the material is only seconds long, but, for example, make conversations more clear, and work to round out the overall experience.
The UHD version is clear, and can bring a theatre experience into your home.

Flexible storage for your phone or PC...

I was looking for some jump drives to fill and then send to some friends. These were heavily discounted, so I jumped on a few. I use another one as my media drive for my car - I have around 3200 tracks on it, and just let the entertainment system shuffle through it. Pros are:
- small & light
- read/write at USB 3.0 speeds
- allow you to read files on your Android device
Cons are:
- normal price is high, get them on sale

Writer/director Taika Waititi (director of THOR RAGNAROK and HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE) brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JOJO RABBIT, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as Jojo) whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. In spite of his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Waititi), Jojo confronts his blind nationalism.

Good movie, the UHD is average...
on August 20, 2021
Posted by: Tomm
Verified Purchase:Yes
I like the movie, and reccommend it to friends. If you want a synopsis, check out IMDB. The quality of the UHD version of the movies is pretty average, which is to say it's very clear, but there isn't content that would really test the 4K resolution. sound is quite good, but again, not special. The only extra features are deleted scenes, which you must view from the Blu-Ray. I agree that they should not be in the movie, except for one...
The bottom line is you would probably be satisfied with the resolution of the Blu-Ray version, but if you need UHD, let it go on-sale first...

Good device, but alittle bright...
on July 9, 2021
Posted by: Tomm
Verified Purchase:Yes
This charging station does everything it says it does. For me, it'll run my RV series Garmin, my Furion RV camera display, and still provide a fast charge for a phone. The package fits for me as it sits into a top tray in the dash of my truck. It also comes with adhesive so it can be mounted on a slope, although I doubt that would work well long term.
The only real knock I have is the light around the receptacles is fairly bright - too bright for nighttime driving, and needs to be pointed away from the driver.

Get lost in the moments, not the route. The RV 890 GPS navigator features a large 8" edge-to-edge display you can view in portrait or landscape mode.

To simplify your trip, it includes TripAdvisor~ traveler ratings, a directory of RV parks and services plus content from Ultimate Public Campgrounds, KOA~ and more. Pair RV 890 with your compatible smartphone for hands-free calling and smart notifications (requires the Garmin Drive~ app downloaded to your compatible smartphone). Use the Garmin voice assistant for more convenience while keeping your hands on the wheel. Download the Garmin Drive app to easily share GPX files and access live traffic and weather.

Crisp display, lots of features...
on June 7, 2021
Posted by: Tomm
Verified Purchase:Yes
As the other reveiws state, this is a tablet running a bunch of Garmin apps. The primary app, the Garmin GPS is very good, fast, and crisp looking on this display. There are configurations that make it pertinent to RV'ers - such as profiles for your rig, or rigs, that are taken into account when route planning (height restrictions, switchback roads...). Link your phone running the Garmin Drive app, and receive traffic warnings and other real-time updates. Leave it on in your driveway, and it'll connect to Garmin over wifi for map and application updates - which thus far, have been pretty quick to download and install.
I've used it on a couple trips now, and I like the larger display, the more pleasant default voice, the speed of calculations, and the "upcoming destinations" that pop up like virtual road signs as you make progress in your trip. When a destination pops up, the amenities available also are displayed (food, fuel...).
There are still numerous features that I haven't explored like the RV camping database, and some of the more obscure apps.
Coming from a 12 year old NUVI GPS (that still is working in another vehicle), I miss the "At the pump" toolbox app, which helps track fuel consumption, and I haven't found an equivalent here. Another thing I don't like is that it doesn't shut down when power is removed - you have to shut it down manually. It does turn on when power is restored though.
The mount is sturdy, and it uses a magnet to attach, which makes it easy to take off and hide if you don't want to leave it on the mount.

A warm and fuzzy zombie movie - makes a great date flick. If you're a die-hard fan and critic of the genre, it might be too soft for you. Otherwise, this movie will leave you feeling pretty good, and that's okay.

On Blu-ray - the visually bold and striking DICK TRACY packs a wallop with picture and sound as sharp as Tracy's jaw. Imaginative performances color this extraordinary action flick directed by and starring Oscar(R) winner Warren Beatty (Best Director, REDS, 1981), Grammy-winning singer Madonna, Oscar nominee Al Pacino (Best Supporting Actor, DICK TRACY, 1990) and Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman (Best Actor, RAIN MAN, 1988). When gang lord Big Boy Caprice unites the town's racketeers and gangsters, police detective Dick Tracy devotes his career to foiling the entire bunch of bad guys. Complete with richly evocative music - including Stephen Sondheim's Academy Award(R)-winning InchSooner or Later (I Always Get My Man)Inch (Best Original Song, 1990), DICK TRACY is a stunner in Hi-Def Blu-ray.

Good with popcorn...

Verified Purchase:Yes
If you're in the mood for a cartoon based live-action flick, Dick Tracy might be able to scratch that itch. The characters are a who's who of the A-list in 1990, and the make-up and costuming are perfect. The story that this film was wrapped around is pretty predictable, but good enough to pop up some popcorn and settle in.

With up to 40 hours of battery life, Beats Solo~ Wireless is your perfect everyday headphone. With Fast Fuel, a 5-minute charge gives you 3 hours of playback. Enjoy award-winning Beats sound with Class 1 Bluetooth wireless listening freedom. The on-ear, cushioned ear cups are adjustable so you can customize your fit for all-day comfort.
 

How adjustable are these headphones? Also, I have small ears will this affect the headphone's ability to stay on?

My head is pretty average for a man - there is plenty of adjustability for me. They probably fit a bigger head better than a small one.

The cups are actually fairly small, and not meant to fully encompass the ears. I think they're pretty comfortable.

Can thus be used for cars too. Can you switch back and forth from truck to car?

Yes, you can have multiple profiles for each vehicle you want to use it in.

So what kind of signal does this require? satilite, tower,wifi hotspot?

It uses satellite GPS for location, USB tethering or wifi for updates, and bluetooth to a cell phone running the Drive app for traffic and services updates.

Are these for big rigs too?

You can have multiple profiles that have distinct needs - for example height, width and/or weight. We have a 30' tow behind - if I use that profile, it'll keep me off tight twisty roads, not route through low bridges, or warn me if I venture onto roads that have weight restrictions. If you're a commercial driver, the database for services might be a bit irrelevant, as its focus is for RVs. Garmin might have a commercial version of this GPS, but it's probably more expensive.

What type of mount to the dashboard or what ever? And is the mounting part included. I do not see anything. And what is the way to plug in?

If you don't want to use the suction mount, a baseplate is provided. The baseplate is around 3 inches in diameter, and comes with three self-tapping screws to hold it secure. The bottom of the baseplate has a foam pad to help it conform to a curved surface. Once in place, the ball assemblywhich holds the GPS is transferred over to the baseplate from the suction mount.

what is the maximum quantity to grind. 1/2 lb, or less at one time?

I use the selector at 10 cups on one of the mid-espresso grind settings. This provides around 3-4 2-shot baskets of grind (a couple days for me). At this rate, the hopper holds around a week's worth of beans.

Can it grind into flour grains like rice and wheat

It's only intended for coffee. Other grains or beans would contaminate the grinder, hopper and catch making it distasteful for coffee or espresso.

Is the top part that holds the whole beans removable for cleaning and also for storage? What is the height of the unit without the top portion, if removable?

The top unit which holds the beans isn't removeable. You twist it using a pointer in the middle of the grinder to control the amount of grind on the beans. With the top, the unit is around 11 inches tall.

what is the maximum quantity to grind. 1/2 lb, or less at one time?

I know this was asked several months ago, but in case anyone is still wondering, I grind for espresso, using the 10 cup setting. That gives me 3 to 4 double-shot baskets worth. Since I normally have 2, 2-shot grandees each morning, I typically grind every other morning. It's nice to keep the grinds fairly fresh.
