Haven’t really used the card a lot yet, but I have not had any problems with it.

We purchaced a Black & Decker Power Pro 250-Watt Mixer last fall locally and when we got it home and used it, we noticed that the slow speed selection was unusually high. We have used it in that condition until now when the mixer will not run unless it is set on the middle setting two up from the slow setting. Even though I had the original box that states it has a 1 year warranty, Black & Decker’s customer service refused to help and were not concerned with customer service or their defective product. I have had good luck with Black & Decker products but after this treatment I will no longer purchase anything from Black & Decker.

This watch has been great for me. I don’t currently use every feature but it is easy to use and quick to learn.

I would not consider myself a big reader. Every once in a while I pick up a book, get about halfway through and lose interest. But this book is absolutely amazing! It’s incredibly engrossing. I couldn’t put it down from the minute I started. I even took it on the treadmill with me. I hate working out but I would get so into reading that my workout was a breeze. This book is an absolute page turner. I was almost waiting for the boring part where I would lose interest but it never happened. There was always the feeling of “what’s going to happen next?!” The only bad part is that it’s finished. I’m a finicky reader so it rarely happens- but I absolutely mourned the end of this book. I absolutely love Abileen and Minny and could read about their lives every day. I don’t want to give anything away because almost every page is more interesting and hinges on the next. So about the author I’ll say- Kathryn Stockett does a great job of capturing moods, personalities, and the racial and political climate of the era.
Absolute must read- I almost wish I had not read through it so fast. My advice is to savor it as much as possible!

Catcher in the Rye has many relevant meanings for the teenagers of today. Holden Caufield’s confusions and frustrations are those of most teenagers who want to connect with other people and belong to a certain social quota. J.D Salinger presents to us a novel full of symbolism, imagery, and adolescent complexity that fufills it’s overall goals of giving us a glimpse into the life and psyche of a troubled and disturbed teenager who tries making connections with people he doesn’t know ending up in, as mean as this may sound, humorous failed attempts. The overall theme in this novel doesn’t comply any moral as did Ovid’s fables back in ancient Greece. Catcher in the Rye tends to be more interpretive in that manner. Holden’s inability to truly connect with people is due to his inability to immature and let go of pain.
“People never notice anything” (Pg 9). It’s in this quote that we really see what type of person Holden really is. Nobody around Holden seems to understand him, seems to understand his angers and confusions. Everyone is just as about as “phony as he is”. It’s in these beginning chapters we notice that something is wrong with Holden. something that doesn’t quite match up. He’s a white male with well-off parents that can afford to send him off to boarding school and he purposefully flunks out by not even attempting to study. It’s not until later on in the novel that we learn of James Castle and his brother Allie that there is a reason for this rebellion and personal wall that he has erected for himself. It’s how Holden breaks this wall that makes this book powerful and a very compelling and humorous read.

THE HELP
Kathryn Stockett
THE HELP, a New York Times bestseller by Kathryn Stockett, is a novel depicting the personal relationship between black maids and the white families, especially the women, who employ them. The story is set in a fictional section of Jackson, Mississippi, from 1962 to 1964. It tells a story of what it was like being a black maid in the Civil Rights era in Jackson, Mississippi, as seen through the eyes of two black maids and one liberal white woman, uniquely three first person narrators.
Three women, seemingly as different from one another as can be, come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk and change their lives and the lives of others in a way neither of them has imagined. In the midst of the Civil Rights era, race relations in Mississippi are already dangerous. And Miss Skeeter, a young white woman–twenty-three years old and a recent graduate of Ole Miss, with ambitions of becoming a writer–elicits the help of two black maids.
Upon graduating, Miss Skeeter returns to her family home where she resumes living with her very proper but callous mother and her very kind and gentle father. Her older brother is away in law school at LSU in New Orleans. She is disappointed when she discovers Constantine, the maid who raised her and taught her kindness and self-respect, has been replaced by another black maid. Her mother had fired her after twenty-nine years, but no one will tell her why. “It was a colored thing,” her mother responds when asked for an explanation. Neither will anyone tell her how to contact Constantine.
With personal problems of her own and her mother clamoring for her to get married and start a family as have her two friends and former college roommates–but she doesn’t even have a boyfriend–she takes a job at the local newspaper, writing a column on housekeeping. But knowing nothing of this subject, she befriends her friend Elizabeth’s maid, Aibileen, who helps her write her column.

I am writing this entry after just receiving notice that the author of this book, J.D. Salinger, has just passed away at 91. I am living proof, although I am sure no alone on this account , that the teenage angst that preppie Holden Caulfield, the narrator of “Catcher In The Rye”, was caught up in his immediate post-World War II generation was contagious all the way down at the bottom of society to housing project kids like me later on. Needless to say this high school assigned-reading was one of those books that I devoured at one sitting, if I recall correctly. But here is a better perspective on the book. Some books you read once and move on. Others you read, re-read and live out, including on a trip to New York a stay at the old Taft Hotel. How is that for having a more than a literary effect on the reader. Only Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” had more. So long, J.D.
