I made a little cross-body zippered pouch with a scrap of my Tulip print from Outside Oslo. It's about 9" square. I mimicked the format of a sweet little bag sent to me by Nathalie awhile back (thank you, thank you!)—the size and shape are nice for carrying a wallet and just a couple other goodies while out running around.
Update: The travel bag is awesome.
I love it! It's so adorable, and it looks rather uncomplicated. You are so very talented in your dabbling...cheers!
Oh that is really cute and you made it!!! I wish I could make bags. It would save me so much money and I could have alot cuter ones than in the stores!
that's so cute. I love your new fabric!
i think it is just adorable!!! good job!
Very sweet! I love that fabric.
it is so cute! i'm the same, i wont ever be great at sewing, but love that i can make easy projects on my own. where did you get that fabric?
Lovely. Less is more. Amazing how simple rectangles can come together in such a useful way.
or perhaps the better question is how did you make the fabric?
Three Birds, I designed this fabric; it's one of the prints from my new Outside Oslo line distributed by The Needle Shop. You can buy it online right here, or it will begin appearing in fabric stores soon.
Oh, I am loving this purse. The fabric is just devine. Is it an existing pattern?
I love sewing practical items, this is the perfect size.
Oops, I typed my reply while you clarified your question. I designed the prints in Illustrator; then we sent the files to a fabric printer who had them made into screens and manufactured.
Happy in Red, I didn't use a pattern. I think you can find any tutorial online for a zipper pouch and then modify it a little bit. I used the zipper pouch instructions in the book "Sew What: Bags" and changed it to add an extra band of fabric at the top and two little tabs at the sides. Next time I'd put those tabs higher up, though. The top tends to sag a little.
Umm, you are going to make more and sell them, right? Because I would totally buy that! Oh, wait, the point is to make it yourself, yeah I can't do that!
Such an adorable little bag! And your fabric is just awesome!!
So I really have to make that travel bag now, huh? I WAS going to back out, y'know. Ha! Can't wait to get at it!
It's darling! Your new fabric is fab!
I would never have guessed you only dabbled in sewing from seeing that bag. It's so adorable and looks very well-made! Good job!
What pattern did you pick for your travel bag, or are you making your own? I'm trying to decide on one to (try to) sew.
would LOVE to see a pattern for this! i'm trying to teach myself to sew as well & this appeals to me. btw - i like that you said you're tempted to give up because it's not going as fast as you'd like. my exact issue!
gosh i love that fabric!
Super duper cute. Good job!
I really loved your post title.
wow great job! i'm actually kind of afraid of my sewing machine...and am tempted to sew things by hand instead.
That is so cute. Yay for you.
It's great seeing your fabrics in use and what a supercute bag...I too have been getting in touch with my inner sewer lately and I'm loving it.
My mum is a right-handed career machinist and I'm a left-handed make it up as I go along sewer...so I've always had a love hate relationship with a sewing machine as it seemed to always cause tension between us overe the years, now I am sewing what I like how I like and mum is just helping when I ask...I think she's been a little surprised!
Super cute. And your fabric is lovely up against the solid color.
i'd buy one in a minute! love the fabric combination.
Jess - you did a super job. It's a cute baglet.
Great fabric and for a "dabbler" it looks pretty good!
The bag looks lovely, the print actually makes all the difference.
The bag looks so cute - you'll never use a big bag again!
Is your fabric available in the UK?
I don't know if any shops over there have picked it up yet, but The Needle Shop will do international shipping. It's $13.25 for a flat rate priority envelope that holds up to 4 yards. You can shop for fabric right here.
that is such a great bag! I may have to make something similar for myself.
What an adorable bag. Love the gray with that print!
I love your fabric! so cute and great colors!
I'm "sew" excited about your fabric. Some is on its way to me right now and should arrive in the next day or two. Yippee!
Oh, it seems that pattern is already out of stock, as I can't find it at the NeedleShop. Do you think it will be available soon? By the way, your blog is amazing!
Mlle Miracle, check again; there should be lots and maybe they just needed to relist it. I see some in the shop now. Check here.
Hi any chance you can share the pattern?
I didn't use one, sorry! It's basically a zipper pouch, just with a taller body. Google "zipper pouch tutorial" and you'll see lots of how-to's, I think.
Oh, I was just in love. The bag is so beautiful and exactly what I'm looking for. Is there a tutorial and where can I find it? Thanks a lot for your help.
I didn't use or make a tutorial, but you can adapt any basic zipper pouch tutorial to make this. Just sew an extra band of contrasting fabric on each panel. And add loops with a D ring in them to the side seams before you stitch it up.
Many thanks for the quick answer. I'll try it, as you described it.

Hunger – Review
Not too long ago, I did a review for the film Michael Collins, which told the story of the early days of the IRA, with the focal point being Collins, himself. For this review, I will be returning to the subject of the IRA, but in a completely different way with Steve McQueen's film Hunger. Take everything you have learned about biopics and throw them all out the window. This is a biopic like no other. It is a gripping experience that will leave you pondering your own moral beliefs.
The year: 1981. The place: Maze Prison in Ireland. Members of the IRA are held in this jail without being granted rights that are given to political prisoners. These rights involve the uniform policy and visitations, among other things. After a long running "no wash" protest is broken apart by the guards, Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender) decides to take these protests to the extreme. He proposes a hunger strike to anyone who wants to be a part of it. He is the first to protest, and we have to watch.
In terms of story, Hunger doesn't have a whole lot to offer. It definitely does have a story to tell and it tells it well, but in a very unconventional way. The first half of the movie isn't so much about Bobby Sands than it is about creating the atmosphere and way of life of Maze Prison. During this time, we don't grow to hate the guards or any of the prisoners. This film doesn't offer you the chance to take a side. Instead it purely shows what happens in the most beautiful way possible. That's what really hit me about this movie. McQueen has taken such an ugly event and turned it into a wonderful work of art.
Seeing an actor get so deep into a role can be an unsettling thing. I think a very good example would be Christian Bale in The Machinist. I wanted to use that example so I could segue easily to Fassbender's performance in Hunger. Like Bale, he lost an obscene amount of weight for scenes in the latter half of the movie where Sands is slowly deteriorating. He looks terrible, and McQueen feeds off this. There is nothing held back, which may be a turn off to some, but others will appreciate the realism which seems almost undramatized.
The artistic element of this movie is completely out of this world. For the first quarter of the movie, there is barely anything said. The story relies on the framing of the shots and the physical performances of the actors. Then, in what must be on of the biggest game changers in film history, there is a 17 minute long take of Sands and his priest friend engaging in brilliantly layered thematic dialogue about protests, morality, and death. McQueen proves that he isn't afraid to take major chances in order to get his artistic vision on screen.
Like I said before, this is a biopic like no other. Calling Hunger a story about Bobby Sands wouldn't be doing the film justice. It's an examination at a time period in a culture that has been uprooted, changed, and fought over for many years. Being entertained by this movie is asking a lot. Hunger isn't so much entertaining as it is an immersive experience that must be seen and felt to really appreciate it. Artistically, this film is beautiful and Fassbender gives an outstanding performance that proves he is one of the most powerful actors of our time.

Jacob's Ladder – Review
Saying that the mind is a mysterious force behind our every move is an understatement. My opinion is that what goes on inside our heads is so complex and abstract that I can't even begin to describe it. Psychologists and biologists have a lot of fancy vocabulary to describe the mechanics behind it, but everyone's is so different and reacts in its own unique way. But this isn't a blog about the mind, it's a review of Jacob's Ladder, a film that ares to go to the darkest recesses of our minds and make us rethink life, death, and the world that we inhabit.
Jacob Singer (Tim Robbins) isn't having a good time. First his youngest son dies and then he is shipped to Vietnam to serve his country. While he is there, his platoon is attacked and he gets severely injured. Now home after an honorable discharge, he is divorced from his wife and living with his girlfriend, Jezebel (Elizabeth Peña). Soon, Jacob's life begins to spiral out of control after he begins seeing warped demonic creatures following him and trying to harm him. Are these creatures just figments of Jacob's imagination caused by a severe case of PTSD? Are they real supernatural entities out for his blood? Is this all part of some government conspiracy?
I can't answer any of these questions because that would completely ruin the movie. Since I watched the movie last night, I've been dreading writing this review because I have no idea how I'm going to be able to do it justice without revealing too much. Jacob's Ladder is really a film that has to be seen and experienced to really appreciate this review, but to hell with it. I'll give it my best shot.
"That movie made me so scared to go home."
The above quote is something my friend said to me when we were talking about it this evening. It's true, this movie is unusually terrifying in its own unique, disorienting way. There are things that are seen in this movie that are purely Jacob's Ladder. What I mean by that is that I haven't seen anything the resembles the movie before it, and I haven't seen anything quite like it since. The scares are shocking in a body horror kind of way, but also in a way that affects the viewer mentally. There's an awesome effect used that has become pretty famous of one of the creature's heads shaking violently very quickly while his body is completely still. It's a bizarre, creative technique that is actually not too hard to accomplish. The camera used was simply filming at a very low shutter speed, and no extra special effects were added. You don't need CGI to have awesome effects.
So thats the scry bits, but lets not forget how absolutely intentionally confusing Jacob's Ladder is. It is the job of the writer and the director to make the audience feel what the characters, mainly the protagonist, is feeling throughout the film. How well this is pulled off depends on how good the film makers are at their craft. The viewer will feel completely immersed in Jacob's Ladder, and even after it's over, you'll still feel like your subconscious is lingering in the world of the movie. During the course of the narrative, I felt just as confused and disoriented as Jacob, and I was really curious as to the answers involved in this psychological mystery. This movie left me in a strange and contemplative mood.
It's always shitty when movies don't live up to the hype that surrounds them. Jacob's Ladder did not let me down. This is one of those exceptional pieces of film making that will generate a physical, along with mental, reaction from the viewer. It's terrifying and sad, confusing and tragic. Most of all, it's a fantastic psychological thriller that will never be forgotten.

A Good Day to Die Hard – Review
Since 1988, John McClane has saved what must be hundreds of thousands of lives. He stopped Hans Gruber at Nakatomi Plaza, saved the lives of Col. Stuart's airborne hostages, hunted Simon all over New York, and successfully put a stop to Thomas Gabriel's fire sale. All four of these movies have excellent qualities, yet of course not all of them are perfect. Now we have A Good Day to Die Hard, a film that brings the series back into the R-rating. Where do I begin?
After hearing that his son is in some sort of trouble in Russia, John McClane (Bruce Willis) takes to the skies for yet another adventure, this time in Moscow. It doesn't take long to find his estranged son, Jack (Jai Courtney), who is an agent for the CIA working with a government whistleblower, Yuri Komarov (Sebastian Koch), to find a file that would incriminate high ranking Russian officials. Viktor Chagarin (Sergei Kolesnikov), an official who risks exposure, hires Alik (Radivoje Bukvić) and his team of mercenaries, to find and kill Jack and Yuri. They didn't count on John, however, who turns Moscow into a war zone and will do anything and kill anyone to protect his son.
This is most certainly one of the weakest entries in the Die Hard franchise. There are so many weaknesses that jump off the screen and do their best to make the viewer disappointed. A Good Day to Die Hard has been receiving terrible reviews from both critics and audiences alike. Me? I didn't hate the movie, in fact, I was entertained for most of it. Is it an action classic? Does it make the character of John McClane even more of a hero than he already is? Not particularly. But, it still does feel like a Die Hard film, despite all of its glaring weaknesses.
Let's start with what bothered me. First of all, the plot was pretty hard to follow, and not because it was a complicated web of intrigue. It was hard to follow because it was so muddled with the need for action that it just seemed out of place. A plot that has to do with exposing foreign government secrets that have to do with major historical events is great for a political thriller, not for something where John McClane has to run around killing bad guys. Along with the plot, there are characters. The characters are so uninteresting, save for John. Jack is stoic and boring and the villains are the worst that this series has to offer. Remember Hans Gruber? He was awesome, if not, the best villain ever. These guys are just boring. There's also a weird revelation towards the end that has to do with the bad guys that threw me off and made me with they were more characterized.
Second of all, the dialogue at times made me cringe. If I had to hear one more snarky remark from Jack about how much John sucked as a father, I was going to somehow transport myself into the movie and shoot him myself. Having the theme of family issues is fine, especially when the idea of law enforcement and service is thrown in, but it got way too overbearing. We get it, Jack. Thanks.
But come on. There has to have some good stuff. Of course there was! The action in this movie is awesome. Cars go flying, buildings are torn to shreds, helicopters explode, guns, fists, knives, the works. This is where I felt best. It had the same over the top insanity that Live Free or Die Hard had. The sky's the limit with this movie. I already talked about the bad dialogue, but there was also some really good dialogue in that cheesy, sarcastic Die Hard way. In fact, there's one scene involving a particular hand gesture that I consider to be one of the funniest moments of the whole series. I feel like John McClane is back and better than ever, character wise. The last film made him seem like a fish out of water and nothing else. In A Good Day to Die Hard, he's back in his element.
So yeah, A Good Day to Die Hard is definitely one of the weakest entries in the series, but I don't consider it the weakest. That award goes to Die Hard 2: Die Harder. I'm sure there are many, many people who would disagree, and they can if they want to. I was a little disappointed with this movie, but not enough to make me hate it altogether. Don't go into this expecting a fantastic entry into the series. Instead, just be happy to be part of another one of John McClane's adventures.

Side Effects – Review
Steven Soderbergh is one of those film makers that seems to have the ability to dabble in any genre imaginable. His filmography is extensive and seems to be painted in broad strokes. His latest film, and supposedly his last film he will be releasing for theaters, is Side Effects. As a theatrical swan song, I don't think there is a movie that could be more appropriate to best represent his diverse skills.
When Emily Taylor's (Rooney Mara) husband, Martin (Channing Tatum), is released from prison after serving four years for insider trading, it is assumed that life will go on for the couple as it did before his incarceration. Not so. Emily finds herself depressed to the point of attempting suicide on multiple occasions. She meets with psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law) who after consulting her past therapist, Victoria (Catherine Zeta-Jones), prescribes Emily with a new experimental drug, Ablixa. The drug appears to be working until its side effects tear Emily's life to shreds. Blame is soon put on Jonathan, who suspects there is more going on with Emily than meets the eye.
About 2/3's of the reviews that I have read for Side Effects, good or bad, have split the movie up into two separate parts. The first part involves Emily's struggle with her depression and the prescribing of different drugs until the Ablixa drug is brought to light. This is a very interesting look into the debilitating effects of depression and a filmic debate over the necessity and morality behind prescription drugs. The second half is Jude Law's show. During this time we see the fall of his character and his attempts to climb out of the mire. The theme of prescription drugs stays strong for this half, but the concrete finger pointing of the companies behind them make this half engaging.
While four people are shown on the poster, the two main players are Rooney Mara and Jude Law. Both give two of their finest performances. Jude Law, who has recently become one of my favorite actors, gives a very convincing performance that has its moments of subtlety and explosive anger. Mara has proved herself in her career making role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but shows once again why she should be one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood. Zeta-Jones' character is unfortunately wasted and has only one or two brief scenes that stand out. Finally, Channing Tatum is considered to be a joke of an actor to many, but I give him credit. Give him the right director and the right script, Tatum is actually a pretty good actor. He's not great, but talent is definitely evident. He just needs to start going after more mature movies.
This film screams Soderbergh. The screenplay written by Scott Z. Burns, who has collaborated with Soderbergh for The Informant! and Contagion, brings a great layer of drama, crime, and corporate thrills that would make Hitchcock proud. Visually, Side Effects looks great. The use of low angles and depth of field tricks definitely visualizes the mental state of depression. I've heard aesthetic comparisons of this film to that of Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby, the most obvious being the very opening shot, which I consider to be a direct homage.
I really hope that this isn't Steven Soderbergh's last theatrical release. The film world would be losing a powerhouse film maker that it can't really afford to go without. He has provided many smart films with different societal messages that can be taken seriously or darkly comic. If this is his last, Side Effects is a great film to go out on. It's condemnation of big companies, suspicion against legality of drugs, and the interest in different states of mind define his career and proves this film to be one of his bests.

Gozu – Review
There are movies that exist that make me thankful to live in the world that I do. A good portion of these films fall into the sub genre of surrealism. Gozu, directed by horror icon Takashi Miike, is an example of a movie that pushes this genre to its limits and creates a blurred line between comedy and nightmarish terror. Is it the best this style has to offer, probably not, but it certainly has its fair share of memorable moments and insanity to keep your attention.
Minami (Yûta Sone) is given a very difficult order by his yakuza boss to kill his mentor and best friend, Ozaki (Shô Aikawa), after it's become clear that he's gone off the deep end. After accidentally completing his task, all that is left is to dispose the body at the yakuza dump. All is going fine until Minami discovers that Ozaki's body is missing from the car. In his odyssey through a Japanese suburban hell to find the body gets stranger and stranger, Minami begins to question his morals, his relationships, and his own sanity.
I consider myself an individual who loves surrealism, being a fan of film makers like David Lynch and Luis Buñuel. Gozu is certainly surrealism to its core, and for that I was pleased. The film still seems a bit off in a bad way. There were times where things got really weird and were supposed to be "interesting," but I found myself checking the time or playing with my cat. This mostly happened in the scenes involving the motel employees, as strange as they were. Strange doesn't always mean interesting though. It's all about the execution and the overall atmosphere of the scene.
There are still really great scenes of nightmarish surrealism. One of my favorite, and I think hysterical, scenes is when Minami goes into a diner and there's a man talking on the phone saying the same thing about the weather over and over again. It's not the most bizarre thing to happen, but it had me laughing and scratching my head at the same time. The goat head's scene should really be recognized as an excellent piece of horror, if you can call it that. Finally, and I think most importantly, there is the most unconventional birth scene I have ever seen. Forget The Fly. This is the hardcore shit.
A thought that I had after Gozu was over was that there is no way that it would pass here in America. Sure, there are people who'll get it on DVD and enjoy it, but if it was ever released in main stream theaters, people would be running home to their mommies and daddies. This might sound condescending, but I don't mean it that way. What I'm trying to say is that America has become so strict with its censorship and its apparent laziness when it comes to certain summer blockbusters. There's rehash after rehash of old shows or remakes of classic films when there's films like Gozu that may never see the light of day.
Like most of Takashi Miike's work, Gozu is not a very easy film to get through both because of its form and context. It looks very cheaply made when it comes to image quality, even though the special effects look really cool. This certainly isn't my favorite of Miike's work and isn't my favorite surrealist film. It sometimes relished too much in its own bizarre nature, when it was actually starting to get a little boring. Luckily there were excellent scenes in-between that made up for its uneven pacing. If you're new to Takashi Miike, start with something else like Audition. If you enjoy movies that transport you to a world that you're more than ready to leave when the film is over, and you can appreciate Miike's low budget filming style, than you should check out Gozu. Good, but not great.

Martyrs – Review
There seems to be a relatively new genre in gory horror films that have been labeled with the insulting name of "torture porn," the most popular being Hostel. While some of these films offer a grand abundance of gore, they aren't always my cup of tea, like the overly excessive Grotesque. Martyrs technically doesn't fall into this sub genre. It actually belongs to a sub genre called New French Extremity, which prides itself in being as graphic as possible with little to no censorship. Another reason this film stands apart is its strange philosophy and depth that creeps up from time to time.
When Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï) was a child, she was kidnapped and held hostage for a long period of time. While she was trapped, she was abused physically and psychologically. Eventually, she escaped. Fifteen years later, she, along with her only friend, Anna (Morjana Alaoui), has tracked down her tormentors. She soon gets her revenge, but finds out that she is still haunted by the demons that have been following her ever since her abduction. The two friends also begin to learn that there is something more sinister involving their kidnapping and torture, and may even be subjected to it one final time.
The narrative of this movie is structured in a very strange way. In school, I've learned that there are certain points that a film's plot will hit. They are as follows: exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Some people may have been taught differently, but this is just from my experience. Martyrs does hit some of these points, but at times it will seem to have missed one, or blurred it in such a way that it can be hard to miss. This is a very weird way to tell a story, and I've never really seen a movie that plays out like this one. At first, it's kind of hard to adjust to the style, but once you do it's really rewarding.
Martyrs is a very shocking film in a couple of ways. The first half of the movie has to do with revenge, questioning morality, and haunting pasts. In this half, the audience is treated to one of the most horrifying specters to be put on screen. It contorts and bleeds and shrieks and wedged its way deeply into my subconscious, only to return when I'm home alone. The second half of the movie is when things really start getting weird. Brutality runs amok, and my limits were tested. Going into this movie, I wasn't really expecting anything too terrible. Little did I know that I'd be leaving this movie thinking that it was one of the scariest that I have ever seen.
Returning to the weird narrative structure, I do want to briefly complain about the pacing in the beginning of the movie. There's a period of about 20 minutes that can only be compared to a bowl of jello. It's moving, but not going anywhere. I was watching the movie hoping and praying that the cool stuff wasn't over in the first half hour of the movie. It picked up after a little bit, but every time I watch this movie, I know that there's going to be a period where I'm going to be bored. I wish this whole segment wasn't there. It is important for character development, but it's really slow and doesn't match the rest of the film at all.
For a film that people label "torture porn", the acting is at the top of its class. I was completely surprised with how well the actors performed. Special congratulations goes to Morjana Alaoui, who is in absolute control of all of the performances in the second half of the movie.
Martyrs is not a movie that can be easily stomached. I wouldn't say it's as shocking or controversial as A Serbian Film or even Antichrist, but it is something that will be lurking in your head and causing you to lose sleep for a long while to come. I will defend it till the end in saying that this is not torture porn. What Martyrs is to me is a twisted journey into the minds of troubled individuals engaging in troubling things. It's disturbing psychology mixed with its brutality and sprinkling of philosophy pushes this film to be one of the best horror films of the past decade

Opera – Review
I've already talked a lot about Dario Argento on this blog. So far I've talked about Suspiria, Inferno, and The Mother of Tears. Well, here we are, back with Argento, one of the masters of the horror genre with his 1987 film Opera. When it was first released for U.S. audiences, it was heavily cut, and therefore never complete. Luckily, I've seen the uncut version and I have quite a bit to say, both bad and good.
MacBeth has always been a cursed show, but never before seen like this. After the original choice for Lady MacBeth is injured in adar accident, the role then goes to newcomer Betty (Cristina Marsillach). Her first performance is met with a standing ovation, but also attracts the attention of an obsessive and violent stalker. Soon after the performance she is forced to watch the masked man kill one of her friends. In the days to come this happens again and again, giving her all the more reason to find out who the murderer is and stop him before she becomes the victim.
It seems that Argento movies always have their fair share of really great things and really terrible things. This film is case and point to my theory. In that same way, he's kind of lucky that he's so good at creating memorable scenes of horror, because there are so many things in this movie that have the potential to drag this movie down. The biggest problem, since it happens throughout the entire movie is the acting. This is a problem throughout Argento's filmography, and this doesn't have the worst acting (Suspiria), but it can be pretty laughable when the scene is meant to be dead serious.
The "joy" that is found in Opera are the fantastic murder sequences. These scenes are some of the best that you will ever see in horror along with Psycho and the original Saw. I find it remarkable how the needles that are taped under Betty's eyes aren't recognized as a major symbol in the horror genre. The film also shows that Argento will not hold back in his violence. The first killing that is shown is memorable, unexpected, and wonderfully gory. It was so good that I had to rewind the scene a couple of times just to prolong my giddy laughter. The scene that really stands above the rest in the movie features a bullet being shown shooting through a peep hole and into the victims head, all of it in slow motion for maximum appreciation. And what would these murder scenes be if they weren't accompanied by some unexpected 80s metal music? There are some against this choice of soundtrack, but I think it's a great contrast from the opera music heard throughout.
The set design also looks fantastic, especially the opera house, where a lot of the action takes place. The hall and the backstage design is both beautiful and spot on. Even Betty's apartment has this old Italian style that you can't really find in America. I wouldn't be able to fully take all of these sights in if it weren't for Argento's stalking camera work. The camera seems to have a life of its own as it chases, stalks, and even flies throughout the opera house and the various apartments.
The problem that almost ruins the entire movie is its godforsaken ending. I can honestly say that this is one of, if not, the worst ending I have ever seen. Never has an ending felt like it was literally thumb tacked on by a kindergartner. The conflict is over way too fast and the whole scenario is way too absurd, bordering on deus ex machina. It's a joke.
Opera is a very good horror movie, even though it has all of the makings to be dreadful. There's bad acting throughout and an ending that will leave even the most casual cinephiles annoyed. Still, the murder scenes, set design, camera work, and idea are all great and work well together. This isn't going to change anyone's minds about Argento nor will it be appropriate for anyone with a weak stomach, but it's a fun watch for horror fans, especially those already accustomed to Argento's style.

This right here is peachy goodness. I know that it's late in the season to tease you this way, BUT, there's always next year. Promise me you'll make some next year, promise me. Did you promise?! Okay, here we go.
And please totally disregard EVERYTHING wrong going on in this picture. It was a fast take…I was hungry….the babies were crying, something.
That my friends is peach butter on toast. With a couple several hard boiled eggs to go with it. I made this about a month and a half ago and yes, I'm only getting to post pictures of it now. I'll do better.
First you start off with the amount of peaches that you want. I was making four pints so I got about six pounds of peaches. In order to peel them, I made a small x incision on the bottom of the peach and dropped them in boiling water for thirty seconds. I then took them out and submerged them in ice cold water to remove the skin.
Here's where you add your seasonings. I used white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and a little bit of allspice. I liken mine to a peach cobbler filling. I LOVE it. I didn't use a lot of seasoning in relation to the amount of peaches because I wanted more of the peach flavor to seep through.
then can away! Of course, leave some out for your enjoyment right away. It's that good!
Oh wow this looks simply delicious!! I'm gonna have to give this recipe a try! Thanks for sharing!
Go for it, and let me know how you like it!
Papa Nicholes said that it reminded him of peach cobbler filling. YUM!
Oh man this looks so good!
Esther – it is delicious! And so great on hot toast or homemade biscuits! You have to try it sometime.

American hostage rescued in Iraq after 10 months
Nancy Youssef
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Susan Hallums heard a tired but sweetly familiar voice in a surprise phone call early Wednesday morning telling her that her family ordeal was over.
The call came from her ex-husband, Roy Hallums, who said that U.S. troops had freed him 10 months after he was kidnapped in Iraq.
U.S. military officials said they rescued Hallums, 57, and an Iraqi hostage at about 11:20 a.m. Wednesday from a farmhouse 15 miles south of Baghdad. An Iraqi detainee gave them a tip that morning, said Lt. Col. Steve Boylan, a military spokesman.
"Sorry I'm late for dinner," Hallums told his ex-wife.
Hallums was referring to the Thanksgiving dinner he was supposed to attend nearly a year ago. He had bought a plane ticket to fly home last Nov. 20. But he was captured Nov. 1 and has been held ever since.
The only public word of his fate came in January when the hostage-takers released a videotape of him pleading for help, with a high-powered gun pointed at his head.
"I always had a sense that he was alive and that I would get a call like this," said Susan Hallums, in a telephone interview. Despite their divorce two years ago after 30 years of marriage, the two remained friendly, and Susan Hallums had dedicated nearly all her time trying to secure his release.
The U.S. military said Hallums is in good health and that no one was injured during the rescue. It didn't release any other details.
U.S. officials lauded the intelligence gathering that led to the rescue.
The tip "was good enough to create a very fast operation before he was potentially moved," Boylan said. "Part of the interrogation process is building a rapport with the detainee."
Susan Hallums, of Corona, Calif., said the couple's two daughters were often too distraught to lead the search. So she spent 12 hours a day in her home office doing anything she could think of to secure his release. She hung two signs in the office. One read "Miracles are possible if you believe." The other said "Faith will see you through."


Includes phone and battery only. No cables or sim card included. Cellular service locked to Unknown Carrier. Clean ESN. Coolpad bar style smartphone in black. The top of the glass is cracked with glass missing along with heavy scratches/scuffs/dings. Used and in working condition.

WHALES: Killer Whales in the North Atlantic ... Have you seen one yet?
by artmackay
Most of us know that Killer Whales or Orcas are common in the Pacific. But did you know they occur along the Atlantic coast of the United States and Canada?
While the East Coast population of Killer Whales is small to be sure, they do move widely along the coast of the United States and Canada. And when they show up in local waters they cause considerable excitement .. particularly among the whale watching companies and those of us who have a special affection for marine mammals. Certainly, very few of us have had the privilege of seeing east coast Orcas, but if they come to your area, make an effort to get out on the water for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I guarantee that you won't regret it.
Bay of Fundy Orca
The Killer Whale - Orcinus orca
INTRODUCTION: Once feared by man, killer whales have been intensively studied and, while experts recommend caution in dealing with any large marine mammal, they appear to tolerate curious humans and their boats.
In recent years, killer whales have been held in captivity for research and display purposes and this practice has lead to considerable debate and conflict. Nevertheless, these whales have entertained and fascinated hundreds of thousands of visitors and have raised interest and concern regarding the conservation of whales and other species, as well as the environmental health of the ocean.
Seafarers and whalers once referred to killer whales as "wolves of the sea". Indeed, these large, swift whales are so intelligent that they may well be the ultimate ocean predator. Working in co-operative packs or pods, they hunt seals, porpoise and even large baleen whales. The literature contains many thrilling accounts of attacks, including one in which a killer whale attacked a large bowhead and "…clung with the tenacity of a bull-dog to his mouth, and gradually caused him to bleed to death." They eat almost anything that swims … fish, squid, seals, ducks, turtles, porpoise and whales.
Killer Whales form strong social bonds and family group structures. Pods even have their own dialect which is so distinct that some researchers can recognize specific groups by their characteristic sounds.
Orca Range (Gray area)
RANGE: Killers occur in the Atlantic, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. They are commonly encountered along the Pacific coast of North America, particularly in places like the Strait of Juan de Fuca where the geography of the area brings them in close contact with man. They are not commonly seen along the Atlantic coast. The gray area in the map shows the North American distribution.
STATUS: The killer whale is an important totem in west coast Indian societies and has appeared in their art for centuries. It was never a serious object of the whalers. However, it was considered to be a competitor to the west coast fur seal industry at the turn of the century and was probably killed whenever possible.
OTHER NAMES: Orca, killer, blackfish, grampus, épaulard.
Orca Encounter - Grand Manan
Art MacKay
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: A spectacular black and white whale. Adults range between 20 and 30 feet long and may weigh up to 6 tons. They have large paddle-shaped flippers and are distinguished by an erect dorsal fin which may reach a height of 6 feet in large males. The glossy black of the back forms a striking contrast with the pure white belly and distinctive eye patch. A
greyish "saddle patch" occurs behind the dorsal fin. They have 10 to 13 pairs of large teeth.

Florida's Run Game in 2008 and 2009
By David Wunderlich Updated Aug 19, 2009, 10:30am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Florida's Run Game in 2008 and 2009
Consider this an extension of last week's Florida preview week as it wasn't done in time to be posted then.
In the roster post from out Florida preview week, I speculated that Jeff Demps would end up as Florida's primary running back. It partially had to do with Chris Rainey and Emmanuel Moody being injury prone, but mostly it's because I perceive Demps to be the most effective of the three. Demps has since been named the starter for now.
Well, I've also been following the discussion about running back efficiency on Chris Brown's Smart Football blog. It began by posing the question of whether you want a boom-or-bust back like Barry Sanders or a grinder like Jerome Bettis. The debate continued with some heavy Football Outsiders flavor. Most recently, Advanced NFL Stats weighed in with some studies about the distribution of rushing gains.
There is yet to be a firm consensus, but on thing everyone agrees on is that yards per carry is inadequate for comparing runners. For one thing, it penalizes players for gaining three yards on third and two and rewards them for gaining nine yards on third and ten. It also can be skewed greatly by long runs. YPC has its place, but it's not everything.
Anyway, I decided to piggyback off of the Advanced NFL Stats post and look at rushing distributions. It struck me that AFS found that just about every NFL runner has a median carry of three yards and the distribution of yardage on carries for any given back is virtually identical to that of the entire league. That means the two things that separate the exceptional backs are avoiding losses and big gains.
I looked at Florida's top four rushers from last season (Tim Tebow, Rainey, Demps, and Percy Harvin) to see who was most effective and how this year's running game should be structured. I did not include Emmanuel Moody's stats because almost all of his carries in 2008 came in garbage time. It also should be noted that Rainey has gained weight at the coaches' request this off season, so he will be a bit different as a back this year.
Here's a quick reference chart of the important stats to give you a glance at how the Gator rushing attack worked in 2008. "Team" here refers to just the four listed players combined. In order to get the distributions, I had to go through the play-by-play accounts of the games, and it would've taken a long time to include every single rush. Somehow I ended up one carry short for Harvin, but I've been through the play-by-plays twice now and I'm not doing it again.
Also, Tebow's numbers do not include sacks, and all stats against the Citadel (I-AA) have been thrown out.
Demps
Harvin
Carries 379 159 77 77 66
YPC 6.46 4.58 6.81 7.71 9.12
Median 4 4 4 4 5
Pct. are Gains 83.4% 84.9% 77.9% 81.8% 87.9%
Gains 30+ yds 14 0 4 7 3
Pct. of total 3.7% 0.0% 5.2% 9.1% 4.5%
YPC, no 30+ gains 4.82 4.58 4.38 4.10 6.75
Demps and Rainey have nice YPC numbers, but Harvin takes the cake. In fact, Harvin was the best in every category except gains of 30+ yards as a percentage of total carries. His yards per carry is the highest, his median is highest, he did the best at avoiding losses or no gain plays, and his yards per carry with long runs removed is head and shoulders above the rest.
What is a bit surprising is that net of long runs, Tebow has the next highest YPC. He gets a reputation of grinding out short runs while Demps and Rainey go for longer, but if you ignore a combined 11 total carries from those two, they aren't as effective a down-to-down runner as Tebow is.
What is not a surprise is that Rainey has the lowest percentage of gains. He is a shifty guy, but a consequence of his confidence in his ability to make people miss is that he dances around too much and takes losses.
Demps' big play percentage is truly remarkable though. He didn't just end up best, but he doubled Harvin's percentage and nearly doubled Rainey's too. That would seem to make him a boom-or-bust back, but he went boom more than Rainey did and is not all that far behind Tebow at avoiding busts.
While recording all the rushes, I included down and distance too. That allowed me to see who was most effective when. I looked both at YPC on each down (capped at 30 to avoid too much skewing) and the percentage of the time that the player picked up a first down. If a player had fewer than five carries on a particular down, that was excluded.
Pct. 1st Dn.
Tebow 1 4.27 20.34%
Rainey 1 6.92 30.77%
Demps 1 6.31 20.83%
Harvin 1 8.28 27.91%
Tebow got better from first to second to third down, despite being called on to convert third and short frequently. The YPC on fourth down looks bad until you consider that every fourth down carry was with one yard to go. Harvin had the best first down average, but Rainey picked up fresh sets of downs more often. The same was true for Demps (higher average) and Harvin (more first downs) on second down.
Now, there are other factors than just running effectiveness that will determine who gets on the field when. Blocking is a big factor, for one. If you go to Urban Meyer's website (turn your sound off first) you can see a video of a drill that has running backs picking up pass rushers, and Rainey and especially Demps cannot block an edge rusher at all right now. Brandon James can though, and walk on back Chris Scott (who's been pushing for playing time) did a nice job as well. That could mean James and/or Scott will end up as primary guys for draw plays from passing formations since they'd be more likely to be in on pass plays for their blocking.
However, it's pretty clear right now that Demps is the top back on the depth chart, followed by Rainey and then the injury prone Moody. It also should be clear from the past couple years that Tebow will be getting a lot of carries, and it's doubtful that anyone would be surprised to see him lead the team in rushes again.
Florida will definitely miss Harvin in the running game since he was the best ball carrier in just about every way. No one will step in an produce at that level. We haven't seen too much Moody yet, but he's likely to be somewhere between Tebow and Rainey/Demps in these categories.
The running game always begins with Tebow because having a mobile quarterback gives Urban Meyer the "extra blocker" that he covets so greatly. Tebow also gets stopped for no gain or losses less frequently than the other two returning guys from this study, and that's important to a guy who is old school in his heart like Meyer. Rainey might get slightly more on a down-to-down basis, but Demps makes sense as the top back. He loses yardage less frequently than Rainey does and he breaks off big plays at a startlingly high rate.
The Gator running game should be in good shape in 2009 despite Harvin's loss. The rest of the guys aren't exactly chopped liver, and the Gators edged run-heavy Alabama in rushing yards in the SEC title game with Harvin on the sideline. If you want to see the distribution graphs for the four above players versus the team, they are here:

Q: Join two tables in Google Sheet I am taking an advanced Google sheet course and I got the following assignment.
I have a first table in Google Sheet (let's call it T1) with two variables, company name and salesman. For each company name there may be one or several salesmen. If there is more than one salesman for each company, then the table has multiple rows. For instance, in the table below, company C1 has two salesmen, while others have one only:

Company
Salesman

C1
S1

C1
S2

C2
S1

C3
S1

This is a mapping table.
I have a second table (let's call it T2) which has only the company names (C1, C2, C3, etc.) and other metadata referred to that company (O1, O2, O3, etc.). So even if there are multiple salesmen for a company, in table T2, there is only one entry for each company and its metadata (i.e., one row), like in the below:

Company
Other

C1
O1

C2
O2

C3
O3

I want to create a third table, T3, which expands T2 to accomodate the multiple salesmen. In other words, if in T2 there is C1 which has two salesmen, i.e. S1 and S2, I want the T2 to add a second row for C1, so that both salesmen can be correctly captured:

Company
Other
Salesman

C1
O1
S1

C1
O1
S2

C2
O2
S1

C3
O3
S1

How can I do this? Any Google Sheet or VBA answer would be much appreciated. I believe in SQL this would be achieved via some join/pivoting, but I am not sure in Google Sheet.

A: Excel ms365:

Formula in G1:
=LET(x,A1:A5,HSTACK(x,VLOOKUP(x,D1:E4,2,0),B1:B5))

Or, in terms of tables:
=LET(x,T_1[[#All],[Company]],HSTACK(x,VLOOKUP(x,T_2[#All],2,0),T_1[[#All],[Salesman]]))

Google-Sheets:

Formula in G1:
=INDEX({VLOOKUP(A1:A5,D1:E4,{1,2},0),B1:B5})

A: use:
={INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A2:A, D2:E, {1, 2}, ))), B2:B}

Germs would be the regular cause of cellulitis. They am located gotten hold of everywhere and are moreover component of our body's usual flowers. Some microorganisms could potentially cause epidermis infection if committed the probability to go in our bodies.

Conventional symptoms regarding cellulitis happen rosiness, swelling also gentleness inside infected theme. Interpret rolls may well roll up in the infected area plus lymph node proliferating can and been located remarked. If the cellulitis bacterias tolerate gotten to mysterious into the skin tone possesses infected the body, nausea moreover disinterestedness may perhaps as well plain equally going with symptoms.
The most general cellulitis microorganisms subsist Staphylococcus aureus. These are cluster-shaped, facultatively anaerobic, gram-positive microorganisms of which live a part of the biological vegetation seen in the skin afterward nostril. In addition to human being, these bacterias are seen in felines, bother, then mooses. Time was staphylococci get into the skin layers, this develops bitter enzymes. Most likely, infection a result of these germs stay very easily followed towards foundation. But, you'll find situations if your infection won't grow any carbuncle for that reason the associated with entrance might not exactly continually be clear. Treatment is frequently using the usage of penicillin, erythromycin or new antibiotic that objective gram-positive bacteria.
Added universal cellulitis microbes are classified as the Faction a beta-hemolytic Streptococcus where by a sample befalls Streptococcus pyogenes. These microbes produce concerning record connects and are furthermore gram-positive. These microorganisms producing a express improving cellulitis furthermore hang-outs crossways inside the rich stratums of the pores and skin. Streptococci release hemolytic enzymes to wipe out erythrocytes plus affect the assembly connected with hemoglobin. Most often, it truly is an infective element of the sin's biological flora.

On the other hand, on the breakthrough connected with injection adjacent to these bacterias, arguments contain subsisted not often showed up. Penicillin furthermore penicillin derivatives are often accustomed to block this sort of infection. Erythromycin may possibly additionally receive representing penicillin allergic sufferers. On the other hand, if penicillin is needed, an additional antibiotic which murders gram-positive bacteria be supposed to remained added as erythromycin only stay microorganisms multiplication.
An alternative form of cellulitis microorganisms would be the Hemophilus influenzae type B. This manner regarding germs lives gram-negative as a consequence non-motile. This helpful to like wildfire beginning cellulitis in vogue newborns however occurrences associated with this has fell considering that the coming on involving vaccination touching respiratory tract infection.
Pasteurella multocida can be a gram-negative furthermore non-motile micro-organism in which takes place substantially insightful in the direction of penicillin however a little pressures associated with this specific individual get refurbished penicillin resistance. The idea make happen a type of cellulitis of which swells with moves on fast. These cellulitis microorganisms become customarily within top of the asthmatic band involving brought under control canines such so trouble as well as kitties. Infection because of this bacterium can be carried out as a result of the begining, punctures or else defeats on or after family pet. Since bite off coming from dogs may well get various other bugs in to the people skin tone, broad spectrum antibiotics are often helpful to treatment cellulitis out of this bacterium.


Many people prefer using this type of cordless drill because it is very handy and lightweight. This tool makes your job of drilling holes on surfaces a lot easier. It is recommendable especially when you are drilling in tight places. There are no cords that could get in the way and it is very portable, which means you can bring it almost anywhere.
You can work with it all day since it is lightweight. You won't strain your arms when you are doing a drilling job. The lithium ion battery only weighs a couple of pounds and you can easily grip the handle in your hands. It has the best gripping chuck since it features all carbide jaws, and it will never allow the drill to slip or fall from your hands.
The Milwaukee brand is also known for delivering the best innovative features in cordless drills. They feature battery pack design that allows the battery to be inserted in a reverse position. This makes the drill easier to handle in hard-to-reach areas as well as when doing an overhead job.
Another advantage of this brand is the Clip-Lok system. This will allow you to attach your drill securely to your tool bag. When you are climbing up the ladder, you can use the Clip-Lok system so you can use both your hands.
The Milwaukee cordless drill brand has produced three models. They have the 12-volt, 14.4 volt and the 18-volt models that you can choose from.
For the 12-volt cordless drill, it has 250 lbs. of torque power and it can go up to 1500 RPMs. This is the best in the class of 12-volt models. Milwaukee is widely known for delivering power and strength and this model clearly shows that you can get this much torque power on a 12 volt drill. Its chuck is very durable because it is made entirely out of metal. The entire drill only weighs a mere 2 - pounds, which makes it very easy to carry around.
The next model that you can try out is the 14.4-volt cordless drill. It produces 390 pounds of torque and it can go to 1400 RPMs. If you want a slightly powerful drill than the 12-volt model that is more lightweight, easier to carry and maneuver than the 18-volt models, then this is a great choice for you.
If you want more power, then you definitely have to go for the 18-volt models. It is much expensive than the other two models but this cordless drill can go through metal easily without any problems. It has 500 pounds of torque that is great for heavy duty drilling jobs.
One of the most recommended compact drills today is the Milwaukee 2691-22 18-Volt Compact Drill. It delivers 400 inch-pound of torque and it only weighs 4 pounds. The total length is 7 - inches long. It features built-in LED lights, variable speed triggers and battery fuel gauges. It also includes ¼-inch hex compact impact with a four pole frameless motor that delivers 1400 inch-pounds of torque.
Another great compact drill you can check out is the Milwaukee M18 Red Lithium 18-Volt Cordless 1/2 inch. It is all metal with a 7-inch single sleeve ratcheting chuck. It is made up of 4-Pole frameless motor, which delivers 425 inch-pound of peak torque. It also has a built-in LED light, which can brightly illuminate your work surface.

We are an organization of residents who work together to improve and maintain the quality of life in its neighborhood, including neighborhood safety, beautification and social activities. WCHOA is technically a formal legal entity being incorporated and having federal tax exempt status; however, we can only survive with the financial support of our residents and local businesses that have chosen to place ads on our website and in our newsletters.
We hope you will agree that supporting the WCHOA is not only beneficial to you and your property, but also to your community. Financially supporting members (dues paying members) may vote on board member (director and officer) nominations and all neighborhood voting matters.
