I picked “The Help” up while browsing the bookstore at Berlin’s Tegel Airport. There wasn’t much of a choice in English books but I had a while to wait for my flight and this book looked slightly more interesting than the other romances, horror novels and potboilers it was on the shelf with.

It is a beautifully written book, moving effortlessly in narrative style between the white employers and their maids. The characters are well-developed and multi-dimensional and, although there is the temptation to intensely dislike “Miz Hilly” and her ilk, flashes of another part of her character sometimes come through, making one realise how just as imprisoned she was the narrow confines of her society as “the help” were in theirs. The cage was perhaps more gilded but a cage it was all the same.

A wonderful book – I agree with another reviewer who said, you can’t stop reading but wish the book would never end!

#1 I believe in God, but not to the extent that I’m right of center.
#2 This is the only book I freely admit to having thrown into the trash bin.
KitchenAid 4 Piece Gadget

I bought five of these cables. Tried them for Blu-Ray – HD TV connection. Three caused flicker, two seemed to work OK. Different brand two HDMI cables I had (including one 20 foot long) worked fine on this connection.
40% reliability is very poor, but if these two keep working, I will consider myself lucky. I will use the other three for spanking my kids.
I consider this a lesser cheat than to sell cables for $120 apiece. But, I wouldn’t buy again.

I loved to go to the book stores, leaving with hundreds of dollars of books and magazines. I still go and spend time looking at books and enjoying the experience, but now I just photograph titles the interest me with my cell phone and buy the books on my Kindle (for about a third of the price and sometimes even lower). I also use the Kindle, it is so easy to find the books I want and to see what others think about new authors and new books. The dictionary is also a kick, when reading I always had a dictionary near by to look up words that were unfamiliar, with the Kindle its built in, quick and easy. I can also highlight and store any words I like and want to start using or references I want to explore in “My Clippings”. The ability to adjust the text size is another wonderful feature. I do a lot of my reading at night and as I get tired, and my eyes start to fade i can increase the text size to make it easier to see what I am reading. The only draw back to the Kindle it the click sound it makes when you turn the page it can get annoying for my wife when she is trying to fall asleep. The Kindle is what the internet and the electronic age was made for, buy it!

The machine setup was simple and quick and required just a phillips screwdriver. The instructions were well written and easy to follow. I did just one room this afternoon and was blown away by the amount of dirt this machine suck out my carpet. Machine clean up was fairly simple. Hoover did a great job on this machine.
