The book was received brand new, excellent condition & very fast delivery. I have been wanting to read this book for many years & delighted with the service this company gave.

I delayed reading The Help because I thought it might be just another maudlin tear-jerker. NOT! This is a fascinating, sometimes funny, sometimes heart-warming, sometimes anger-provoking, always skilfully told story that made real for me an era whose end I saw but, being a child, whose details I never discerned. Meals at my grandparent’s table when I was small were served by Help dressed in starched white uniforms who had their own quarters in case they needed to stay over. The Help always smiled. They played children’s games with me and indulged me when I insisted I was Davy Crockett. I adored them and, when things changed and Grandmother began serving meals herself, I wondered why. I always assumed The Help were happy working for Grandmother ….. but maybe not. Ms. Stockett made me revisit my pediatric assumptions. Good. We should all make a habit of doing so. The Help is an important book and, to make things better, I loved it.

I really liked this but I thought that was strange, so I unplugged the card from the reader and replugged it in. The same error occurred. I then figured I’d just put the card back into the camera and read the data off the camera. Guess what? I got an error message on the camera that said “Please insert SD card”. I have an old olympus that I planned on sellinggiving to my sister. I put the card into it, and got an error saying some kind of error.. I came on amazon, hoping someone else had the same problem and a solution to it. I saw a few posts that said if you set the card to the “lock” position, the card suddenly becomes readable and you can retrieve your data off it. Others have said that they used data recovery software that was able to detect the card and get some/all their lost data back. I tried that with TWO data recovery softwares, and not either of them was even able to detect the card when in the card reader. All in all, I lost out on a couple of hundered bucks because this card lost all my data on it’s first time using it, and is no longer even useable by my camera OR computer. I will never buy another I’m like the rest of you that gave this card a 1 star rating. I bought the card because I needed more storage space. I have an 8 gig version of this same card that has worked perfectly for a year. a different one because I wanted a more “top of the line” level point and shoot. I work at a school and frequently do video/picture shoots for school related events. We had a rugby event, and I was going to get reimbursed for photographing and take pics of the event. The Lumix and 16 gig card was just right for this. One camera that could video and photograph with great quality. I filmed and took pics of the event with the camera, and there were no problems. When I got home, I plugged the card into my SDHC card reader, and the computer worked fine.

My daughter got these to go with her Nerf N-Strike Nite Finder EX-3 2PK. They work great! They fit perfectly and the suction works very well.

This is a rich and complex story about the relationships that existed between African American domestics and their white employers as the young civil rights movement develops in Jackson, MS and across the nation. These relationships are examined from both sides – white and black – through two main characters, Skeeter and Abialine. Skeeter, a young white woman raised and deeply loved by a black domestic Constantine, is determined to become a writer. During a bridge club meeting, she learns that Abialine’s son (now dead) began writing a manuscript describing the relationship between black men and their employers in the Deep South. This triggered an idea to do a similar work, only about women. Abialine and Skeeter begin the journey of writing “Help” against the back drop of the civil rights movement.
The irony is that the plot mirrors the narrative. The women in The Help live the relationships as they secretively write the manuscript about these relationships for Harper & Row. We are reading their manuscript with more characters added – husbands, children, doctors, and colorful politicians.
All the characters are beautifully developed. The antagonist Hilly, is completely believable and recognizable – we all have known a Hilly. My favorite character is Minnie. She is tough, honest, untrusting of whites, and ultimately self-sacrificing.
Give yourself a treat, read The Help.

The furminator is the best grooming tool in our repertoire for one big reason: the cat loves it. Whenever it comes out of the drawer, the cat comes running to get ‘furminated.’ We also have a ChowChow that tolerates it when his fur is cut for the summer, but when he’s fully fluffed, he actively enjoys a good brushing as well. 5 stars for sturdy construction, ease of use, and kitty friendliness.

This pedometer exceeded my expectations. It is recommended by Consumer Reports. I also noticed on Amazon that this one has 2,754 customer ratings, as well, with 2,100 five-star ratings and 452 four-star ratings.

Benefits of the Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer:

1. May be worn on the waste band/hip/belt, in a purse, in a pocket, sideways, upside down, etc.
2. Two clips–holder and strap–which reduces the chance of dropping it on the ground or losing it. I always use both clips.
3. Automatically changes to a new day at 12:01am.
4. Stores seven days of steps, miles, calories, and aerobic activity.
5. Automatically tracks aerobic activity.
6. Large display.

You won’t be disappointed with the accuracy of this product. I put it on when I get out of bed, and I keep it on until I go back to bed (except for showers, of course)! Health research shows that walking 10,000 steps per day (approximately five miles) improves health and burns 2000 to 3500 extra calories per week. For those who want to lose weight and keep it off, they recommend 12,000 to 15,000 steps per day. And, the challenge is “per day,” not 70,000 steps per week–:)–so this pedometer really does help us stay on track each day.

I absolutely love this thing.I don’t know how I ever survived without it! I love the convenience of being able to run anywhere on road or off without worrying about tracking my distance. It really motivates me during my runs too.

I based my decision on purchasing this device primarily on the reviews from this site. As it turns out, it was the correct dicision. I am using it with two XP machines, and one Vista machine. Set up was not that difficult at all, and so far (about a week) it has performed beautifully. I also found out something that I should share… Do not use the same share name on the ReadyNAS as the user name on your computer, or you will get access denied errors. I found this out the hard way by searching the web. I called Netgear but they were of no assistance, and told me that it was a computer security problem. i hope this helps the next person who runs into this proble. Otherwise, this is a good product. I also like the quick and simple backup software that came with the unit.
