Come ON, people, this book was rediculous. The author’s attemps at African American dialect and slang of the time was off from the first page, onward. and her overuse of stereotypes was pathetic. I am a white female, have lived in the South my whole life and this book left me embarrased and offended for any African Americans unfortunate enough to pick up this piece of work. I can see that the author had good intentions, but otherwise, this was terribly written. Did you happen to take a look at her picture on the back inside cover? She is a very typical cutesy, privleged, white female…and she is unsuccessfully trying to write in the voice of an elder black poor woman. Since Stockett has used stereotypes so abundantly, I suppose it would be safe to say that her readers can do the same. Assuming that she, the cutesy white Southern woman is no doubt familiar with “Help”, has probably had it her entire life, but obviously hasn’t concerned herself with said “Help” past them getting her home and dirty laundry cleaned in a timely fashion. Had she paid close enough attention to them, she might have been better able to write in their voices.

Note to the “Author”:
Dear Ms. Stockett, please stick to the White privleged life that you know, and realize that just because you have had Help your entire life does not entitle you to write as one. I am disgusted. You ARE the white woman who gives the rest of the White, higher income, female community the snooty, uppity and all around bad reputaion that we have. The only thing you have accomplished by this awful thing that you call a “novel” (that you no doubt wrote in between soccer caravans and in bed late at night on a legal pad) is telling everyone that stereotypes are OK. So please save some trees, the world and everyone in it from a second novel. Thank you for your time and attention. ~Reader

The product was good, but Amazon promised, and I believed, that they would hold the line on best seller prices, but they have shot up over fifty per cent in six months! A pulp fiction book, in e form, which you cannot loan, sell, or give away, can NEVER be worth as much as a hard copy. Back to paperbacks, libraries, and used book stores like Powell’s for me. My Nook has not started this price jacking yet, as far as I have seen.
Thomas Friends Going Places

After having the Furminator recommended to me by two friends, I bought it to help with the problem of a very furry cat who sheds a lot, and I was not disappointed. He likes being brushed with it, but it needs to be gently as the tool has a steel comb edge, and the amount of hair it removes is something to see! It has definitely cut down on the loose hair in the house since I started using this on a regular basis.
A Treasury of Wisdom

I had bought a few cheap ones that never really worked well. This one is excellent for my daily walks. It is easy to use and seems to be pretty durable. I got it slightly wet when I got caught in the rain but it didnt hurt it.

I detest anything obstructing the view through the windshield, whether it’s knickknacks hanging from the rear-view mirror or something suction-cupped to the windshield.
I’m also not inclined to have mounts or evidence of dashboard electronics be visible from outside the car when I am not in it.
With this friction mount the view is clear, there are no suction cup marks on the windshield, and it’s heavy enough to hold the GPS steady through fairly hard turns and the finger-tapping on the screen. The bottom is also textured to grab the dashboard.
When parked, take the GPS with you or hide it, and hide the mount under the seat or back floorboard (if you have tinted windows to keep out prying eyes.)
A BIG bonus for some cars is that using this mount puts the screen on pretty much the same azimuth as (some) dashboard instruments, thus fewer and smaller movements to see or interact with the screen. Smart ergonomics.
I’m not sure why anyone would mount the permanent adhesive “horn” to their dashboard that comes with Garmins and to be fair, the suction-cup mount included with Garmins isn’t all bad… it’s just on the windshield demanding further reach, etc.

And has been stated many times already, the mount allows for easy transfer to a different vehicle.

This mount is worth every penny in my book.

I think the twilight saga has an incredible storyline to it, and has many parts to it that are unique. A lot of people criticize parts of the books (e.g. some of the features), but I think that the fact is that they don’t like some of the small change Stephenie Meyer has made to vampires, so they critize it because it isn’t the same.
Casio General Men s

Got this pedometer for my wife. She loves it. She likes that it will store data for the last 7 days. So when she updates her walking journal @ America on the Move she can log in once for the entire week. But the best is that it counts aerobic steps and total steps. There are days when she does a lot of casual walking in the office but the intensity and benefits are not the same as when she goes out for a 30 minute dedicated walk. Highly recomment this product.

I’m sure I’ll be duplicating some of the reviews, but I had to add my love of these books. I, like so many, thought these were books for teenagers and ignored the series completely for the longest time. My friend said she started to read them and encouraged me to try the first one just to see. We both have kids in elementary school so we aren’t the “target audience”, although I truly believe these books aren’t YA. (Stephenie even said herself that the first one was never written that way, it is just the genre they got put into.)

So, I began reading, and began falling in love with this story. There are a few words that get repeated too often and there are even typos here and there, but it didn’t matter. You get to step into another world and learn all about these wonderful characters with Stephenie’s fantastic descriptions. And you literally feel the passion going on between them!

I’ve seen the first movie, but will not see any more. There is just no comparison since there is soooo much more in the books. I have read all four books (and the Midnight Sun draft online) and would say Twilight is my favorite of the published ones in this series. But I love each one since it continues the story. It will be hard to find something better, but I hope to find other books as good.

I bought the wii for my retired husband. He was very surprised and loves the game. He has been saving the world in air battles daily.
