    Weekly RoundUp 2-12-2013

    I hope so too. I pre-ordered GOT S2 on Amazon when it dropped to $49.96 back in December. Would be nice if Amazon price matched Target.

    Attn: CPAP users. What pressure are you using?

    I am at nine...but only use my machine a few times a week. I have lost a little bit of weight, and that seems to have helped my snoring, so I have not used my machine as much, as I have been sleeping better. I imagine a 20 would be pretty powerful...at nine I definately feel the breeze...

    Atkins diet experience

    Well, I finally got going on this diet after lurking in this thread for awhile. Have been on for about two and half weeks "hardcore" (I gradually started phasing out the high sugar carbs like white bread, candy, regualr soda, so that when I hit the diet I would not take such a hit in terms of...

    ***Official THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST Discussion Thread (including THE PASSION RECUT)

    Yes, Patrick, our per cap has taken somewhat of a hit, but not as bad as some of my fellow coworkers thought. Ours was probably down maybe 5 cents or so, which is not huge, but is most definately noticeable.

    ***Official THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST Discussion Thread (including THE PASSION RECUT)

    Can't give any national figures, but I can tell you that the theatre I work for in MN has sold out 10 auditoriums to various churchgroups as of today (and the shows that have not been bought out by church groups have been sold out also)...about 3000 people so far, and we have more sellouts for...

    No DVD in case.

    This happened to me once, when I bought the two disc edition of Tron from Target...they were not going to exchange or refund..they tried to give me same lame 1-800 number. After calling and listening to a recording (the number did not even connect to human, just listed an address to send the...

    Weekly Roundup 10/28 (What's Up, Doc?)

    Did anyone happen to see if Costco had Coupling season two? I am going to hit there tomorrow for the Looney Tunes/Space Jam deal, and am hoping not to have to trek to CC as well. Thanks in adavance!

    LotR TTT - adventure card and/or coupons?

    Anyone buy used DVDs?

    I would consider buying used, but the places here in the Twin Cities seem to be on the pricey side, withing tow or three bucks of getting a dvd new. It is not worth the hassle and risk to only save a couple of bucks, especially since most of the used ones I have seen have cases that have had the...

    I am DEEP FRY CRAZY!!!!!

    Considering your love for fried foods Scooter, you should take a field trip out here to St. Paul for the Minnesota State Fair. They fry everything, and it is all good and fresh and no clean up!!! Last year's big hit was fried candy bars...snickers and milky ways especially. Very good, highly...

    Another ridiculous pro contract -- Daunte Culpepper

    I agree with Scotts comments above...basically it is a 16 million dollar contract that COULD be a hundred million dollar contract..If Dante goes out, the Vikes make the playoffs (or even, gasp, the super bowl), he makes the pro bowl and plays great football...then the Vikes will keep him, more...

    NHL Playoffs 2003

    True, that penalty call in game 4 was atrocious. Vancouver definately got some good calls, they have no arguments with the zebras. Bring on the Ducks!!!!!! 2 o'clock today!

    NHL Playoffs 2003

    Yep, I think we can definately win the series. Anything can happen, we have beaten better teams than the Ducks, and they have beaten better teams than us. This is why we drop the puck and play the game. I think it could be a great series.

    NHL Playoffs 2003

    Sorry, but I gotta chime in here. Yes, it was a freak bounce that gave Dupris the chance to knock it in for the Wild's first goal, but he still had to hit the puck AND keep his stick low enough to not get called for a high stick, which the refs were looking for, because they did review the goal...

    NHL Playoffs 2003

    It was a great series. This is why the nhl playoffs are probably the best postseason in all of sport. GO WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D

    Let's talk Beer

    I have a question...does anyone on here actually brew their own beer. A friend of my brewed some, and it was pretty darn good! I have been looking into doing it also, and I was wondering if anyone had done it and wanted to share their expierence. :D Beer is good :D

    I Can't believe it has Come to this

    My wife and I were at Super Target awhile back and they were giving away samples of these.....ick. Sorry, but in terms of quality, they suck. I make peanut butter sandwiches every day for my three year old (she likes peanut butter and honey for her daycare lunch), and I would not feed them to...

    Journey to the Center of the Earth

    Thanks guys for confirming that this is a widescreen release. I saw this at Costco last night when I was getting The Day the Earth Stood Still, but did not get it due to the conflicting labels (when in doubt about widescreen, I err on the side of caution). This gives me an excuse to go to Costco...

    Atkins diet experience

    Good for you Patrick. I am going to start on March 1st. Like you, I have tried Atkins before, but had fallen away from the lifestyle and put some weight back on. But seeing other people have success in this thread has helped motivate me to try again. My wife is going to diet with me, but she...

    Best software for tv video capture with ATI AIW 8500DV?

    I have recently installed this card on my system, and I was wondering what is the best software to use to video capture tv shows? What I want to do is record tv shows and then put them on vcd or svcd. Is the software that came with the card the best option? And if it is, what are the best...

    AIW 8500DV question

    Thanks for the link. I did use the drivers out of the box, but after I got the error I did download the latest from the website. I will do as you suggest, clean out everything from the registry and reinstall everything from scratch. Pain in the butt, but that is the way it goes sometimes.;)...

    AIW 8500DV question

    It comes up at the end of the install program for the wdm driver. It flashes by really fast, so i have not been able to copy down the exact error. It says it is a memory read error and it is terminating the program. According to the help file, the wdm inf files are not installed, and the wdm is...

    AIW 8500DV question

    Well the new order did not work either. It is giving me a memory read error, and that is what worries me...if the memory on the card is bad, then I want to exchange it. Any ideas? My next bad maybe a complete unistall, pull out the card and put it back in and start from scratch

    AIW 8500DV question

    I will try that order next. The only reason I was doing the wdm first was that was the order the software said when it was doing the pc test. Thanks for the suggestions!

    AIW 8500DV question

    I recently installed this video card on my system, but for some reason the wdm capture driver is not installing. Sometimes it is giving me an read memory error on the install. All the ATI website said to do was reinstall the wdm driver, followed by the ATI Display driver. That has not seemed to...

    Atkins diet experience

    Well, I am going to give Adtkins another try, starting March 1st. My wife and mother-in-law are going to diet too, but not Adtkins. I think we are going to try to make it a little competitive to keep us all focused on the end goal. Thanks everyone for sharing your stories, they have been...

    Need help setting dma on my tdk cd burner

    Thanks Dave, it worked like a charm. Both drives are now recognized as dma, and my burner is perfoming like it was before I installed XP. (Just to test it, I have been burning cds for the last half hour :D ) Is it likely that windows will do that again? Is this a register key that I am going...

    Need help setting dma on my tdk cd burner

    Thanks for the info Dave. While I have read things on changing the registry, I have never actually done. I will make careful notes of how the registry appears before I proceed. Hopefully that will do the trick. Thanks again.
