After not being able to find a Wii anywhere in town, I ordered from Technobiz – they stuck by their promise 110%! It was here as promised (if not faster). I also ordered from them for a friend after being so pleased, and hers was the delivered quickly (faster than promised). I will definitely order all of my stuff from them!

Leadership from the Inside

Used it to clean all of our carpets and it works exceptionally well. It does as good a job or maybe better than the Pros. We had an earlier model that we just wore out and it worked well. We were very satisfied with it as well but this one cleans even better.

I found this book to be a fast easy read filled with good solid wisdom and wonderful ancedotes. I love Robin Roberts and her personality comes through.
From the Heart Seven

“The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings.” ~Kate Chopin; The Awakening

All I could think about as I was reading this book is this author sure is brave. A white woman writing a book about black maids and prejudice in the heart of Mississippi just seemed risky to me. How can a white person possibly relate to what a black person experienced in the sixties? And yet Kathryn Stockett pulls it off beautifully.

The Help is definitely a character driven book. All the principal characters are richly illustrated and memorable. The book follows two black maids, Aibileen and Minny who have worked their whole lives serving white families. There are ups and downs to the job but in many ways the women are treated like slaves. It is also about a white woman named Skeeter, who loves to write and seems to be the only white person that notices the injustices the black maids face on a daily basis. Miss Hilly, is the antihero and is just a terrible person. I have to imagine that the actresses in Hollywood will be clamoring for that part as she is the most sinister villain in recent history. Who knew that a housewife could be so conniving?

Skeeter works with Aibileen, Minny, and other maids to document the life of a black maid in Mississippi. The stories they share are dangerous and ultimately could be life threatening if they are discovered to be the source. There is a sense of dread that builds and builds throughout the book. The book is full of mysteries that slowly unravel and I found it hard to put down. I was surprised that I enjoyed this book so much since nearly all the characters are women and for the most part the men are all terrible or just in the background. I am not the target audience but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the book.

I was born in the mid-seventies and grew up for the most part in the Kansas City area and I just haven’t witnessed prejudice first hand. I can’t believe this story took place just a deca

This book does nothing more than give an academic look at an already easily solvable problem.Get over it the wealthy former-Cubans deserted the island and rather than sit back in their stylish Miami homes and quip and complain about what should be done they should look to their future in America or else renounce their American citizenship and go back to the Cuba.
