Stockett’s peek into 1960s Mississippi society clearly presents a picture unfamiliar to my generation. Three voices and perspectives created a three dimensional visual of these life and times. A little laughter, a couple of “shut the front door” moments, and tears complete an unbelievably great first novel from Stockett!

I picked this vacuum because it was #8 on the top 10 vacuums of Consumer’s Choice of 2009. Also it was the most affordable. Less than $100. There is an instant noticable change in the texture of the carpets on the first run. It seemed fluffier and softer. Carpets looked fresh. Also works well on tile and hardwood floors. The item itself looks toylike with the baby blue color. Overall it does just as good of a job compaired to $200 vacuums.

I am a big fan of all things Disc World and I bought this DVD as soon as it became available but have had nothing but trouble I have had FOUR copies of this dvd trying to get one that worked and EVERYONE had the EXACT same problems!!! And I tried them all in 3 different DVD players, all four suffer from pixelation and the third episode will not play AT ALL on all four dvds!!! I would not have bothered with this warning if all four hadn’t suffered from the exact same problems which points to errors in the making of the dvds, I hope they get this fixed as soon as possible.

After seeing my students devour this book, I decided to give it a try and Wow!!! I came from Transylvania – the land of Dracula, and I am also teaching high school level, so this book hit home! Loved the style of writing more than anything. Sophisticated and well developed, the characters echoed their actions in my head for a long time after finishing the book. LOVED IT!!!!

I read this book back in high school many moons ago and when I saw it was coming out again I had to have it. This is an excellent read.

I bought this as a gift and was disappointed that it was not a rechargeable cordless hand blender. The picture and information does not state if it’s cordless or not.

My wife and I are about ready to have a baby, so we thought it would be a good idea to make sure our carpets are very clean. We considered renting a machine for a day or weekend, but then realized what a hassle it would be to try and do the whole house at once! So, we decided to get this machine. We just used it this weekend on the baby’s room, and it is fantastic! It was easy to set up and get going, but most importantly it got our carpets very clean.

Of course, it did not make the carpet look like new, but no cleaner will. We vacuumed our carpet very well, several times with a very good vacuum cleaner before using this. After using this, the water was very very dark brown. It’s amazing what this thing gets up, and I didn’t even think our carpet was very dirty.

Not only did this machine get the carpets clean, it left them NEARLY dry. We ran a dehumidifier in the room, and a fan to keep the air moving. After an hour or so, the carpet was completely dry. We waited until the next day before putting furniture on it (just to be sure).

Perhaps most importantly, this machine was EASY to use, and even easier to clean up. Basically I just rinsed out the tanks real well like it said and let everything dry well.

Bottom line, if you’re thinking about getting a carpet cleaner, this one is a great one. It’s very powerful, but not bulky at all. It’s easy to use and clean. The power brushes do a great job “agitating” the carpet fibers and loosening up dirt. I think this is a great buy for the money. I can’t imagine a unit that’s say…$100 more….doing much better. If you’re thinking of getting one, get this one…you won’t be disappointed.

I recently started trail running and the Forerunner 305 has been great! It is nice to see how far you have run and see a total of miles for the week or month on the computer screen after downloading. I haven’t gotten into to evaluating my heart rate yet and I know there are many more options to learn about but for now this is a great tool for novice to expert. Oh and I even got lost when I ventured off the trail and was able to find my way back to my car by using the navi directional arrow! Awesome!

Had this card for about a year, and it worked well until 2 days ago. I had it in my Nikon D5000 and got the error, “Unable to Format Card. Card May Be Defective.” Luckily I found a utility online to recover the pictures I had and I was able to re-format the card. It worked for another day and now I’m getting the error again.

I tried cleaning the contacts w/ a cotton swab, and even tried inserting the card while locked & unlocked – didn’t make a difference. Hopefully, the SanDisk 16GB Extreme – SDHC Class 10 High Performance memory card (SDSDX3-016G-P31, Retail Packaging) – NEW 30MB/s version I just bought will last longer.
