    Composite Decking

    Bejoy, We've got a Trex deck, built six years ago. My neighbor has a wood deck built at the same time. We like the feel of Trex (smooth surface, no splinters), otherwise we don't see much wear difference between our trex and our neighbor's wood deck. Both have held up well. We do notice dirt...

    DVD Review HTF Review: Schindler's List (Highly Recommended!)

    On Day One of this film's release I attended the first showing in a Washington D.C. cinema with a small number of Holocaust survivors and other film goers. At the film's conclusion, the silent, yet powerful emotion coming from the audience was stunning and overwhelming. Virtually noone moved...

    Lost her to the P&S Dark Side

    To all who have answered with suggestions, thanks very much. You make some great points...I especially like cutting the $20 bill up to demonstrate the point (though isn't that destruction of US government property?). Given the 30 seconds one has to assess her question, size her up, decide to be...

    Lost her to the P&S Dark Side

    Denny, Hard to tell how sales of Widescreen vs P&S DVDs are doing without hard data. However, in my area stores which sell TVs are really pushing widescreen and HDTV compatibility...same can be said of print media. Motive is clearly to boost sales of high end TVs but unintended consequence is a...

    Lost her to the P&S Dark Side

    Dave, Very funny. I'm old enough to be her father for godsake! When I was young, we used the line "would you like to come over and see my ""fill-in-the-blank"" collection?". Got my share of turndowns and face wacks. However, a ten percent success rate was considered quite acceptable. For the...

    Lost her to the P&S Dark Side

    Malcolm and Steve, Right you are! My mistake was thinking I had lost her when in fact the roots of the solution were in her own words. Should a chance encounter again occur and I have the opportunity, your words will ring out. To the young man who believes I'm messed up, rest assured, many...

    Lost her to the P&S Dark Side

    I lost her to the Fullscreen dark side this morning. Here's what happened...in Walmart picking up my Widescreen AOTC when a very attractive, articulate 20 something lady asks me (an older wiser gentleman) why she should buy Widescreen vs Fullscreen (P&S). A thousand reasons flashed through my...
