This is a really fun series that blasts off right out of the gate. Good for kids 9 and up I think. It’s alot lighter than Harry Potter.

I bought this vacuum cleaner, and had it shipped to my girlfriend. When it arrived, she called to say it needed to be assembled. I said you are on your own. Much to my surprise, she and her her 7 year old son were able to put it together (a week later, so much for two day shipping) and it worked great. When I got there, she handed me the extra parts, a couple of the nuts were not on the bolts, she didn’t read the instructions, which I did and found them very helpful. We have new carpet, and the bag was so full it packed the intake, the instructions mention that new carpet will fill the bag. Once the bag was changed, and the passage to the bag was cleared, it worker really well. the price was right, hope it gets a lot of use.

This was one of the most captivating books I read in a while. I was drawn in from the first chapter. The characters were believable and the story line was captivating. I would recommend this book to anyone and have passed this book on to friends and they love it as well.

I was turned off by the trailers for October Sky and decided to skip it when it was in theaters. I may not have been alone in this decision, as the movie’s income stayed earthbound. It was a bad decision. I have an excuse. I am a critic. Everyone knows critics can be exceptionally faulty when it comes to judgment calls. After finally seeing it, I can report that it is one of the best films of 1999.

Hollywood has a spotty track record when it comes to movies about small town life, especially when the place is truly in the boondocks — in this case, the coal country of West Virginia. A bit of history: In the 1930s, studio bosses, most of whom were from places like New York City, created a sort of parallel universe of small towns. The houses and the business were immaculate, as where the citizens. Father knew best. Mom fought with, but eventually sided with, Dad. The kids, who rebelled at times, always wound up sharing the hopes and values of their parents. These movies were quite entertaining [and still are], and the audiences came away both smiling and filled with simplistic moral lessons. Decades later, directors such as Steven Spielburg, were still showing us these same villages. Eventually, these dreamy Hollywood towns became real to people. The problem was it was never the town the moviegoer lived in.

It is October 1957. Homer Hickman lives in a tiny hamlet. It’s a company town. Its only reason for being is mine coal. Some of the houses are cheerful, but they are built around the bleak company offices. Unlike his brother, who is athletic and may get a football scholarship, Homer’s schooling seems destined to end in this, his Senior year. It looks like he will become a miner like his father, but it is obvious from the start that this idea makes the boy miserable.

1957 was the year the Soviet Union launched its first satellite, Sputnik. The space race had begun. Some nights, people could stand outside and actually see this wondrous thing flying across the sk
