This thing is a miracle. I have two black labs and light color tile in my kitchen and dining room. So, you can imagine how the hair would show. And in THESE rooms??? Where prepare and eat food??? I would use a dust mop everyday and an hour later you could see the hair already. Used this comb/brush (whatever you would call it) and the hair is all but gone. All you had to do is brush your hand across the back of our older dog and you’d have a handful of hair. After the Furminator, you can pet him all you want and there’s no hairball in your hand. Also, delivery took two days to Pittsburgh. I had hoped to get it in time to get these guys cleaned up before hosting Easter dinner. Nice to do business with “Entirely Pets”.

Kathryn Stockett has created a story in The Help with an updated reflection upon a time in our nation when there was a divisive chasm between the races. A time when Americans, especially the “gentile Southerner”, felt superior to their fellow black citizens. A time when our generation can now only hang their heads in shame for what an earlier generation did, said, felt and acted upon fellow black Americans.

Stockett’s fiction creatively twists the story so that the reader can only ponder along with the story’s characters if this story is indeed fiction or not. Her ability to tickle our psyche is genius.

The characters are fresh and easily identifiable while the language puts the reader right in the room with the characters. Her ability to put the reader into the character’s mind in each chapter is equally intelligent as we become the thoughts of the character very readily. She enables this transference without the use of quotations of the character and uses the language of the character in their musings. (Such as when a character is thinking: I gone take that breakfast to her. Not: I’m going to take that breakfast to her.

Nice read, somewhat compelling with the reader wanting to discover the outcome of the book Skeeter submits for publication, what the locals reactions will be, will there be repercussions with the contributors and what will Skeeter’s life path become.

Read it, read it. Great book.

I saw this disc used twice for demonstration purposes at the CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) EXPO in Denver this year. Great artists, sound and video. Yes, there are people out there that can play in tune and sing on pitch. With all the trash out there it’s nice to find this level of soul, intellect and professionalism.

Loving this light. Amazingly simple to attach to the bike. Very bright LEDs. I have used the light on/off for the last 6 months, and the batteries are still good.

Probably the best bike light that I have ever purchased, and well worth the price.

Highly recommended.
