Flipped, a movie based on the novel by Wendelin Van Draanen, stars Madeline Carroll, Aidan Quinn and John Mahoney. The synopsis of this story focuses on two second graders, Bryce and Juli, who fall for each other despite their differences. They fall for each in love without knowing it. This movie takes them from elementary school through junior high as they face challenges along the way. Flipped also touches upon the discoveries they make about themselves and each other. People young and old can enjoy watching this PG rated movie together. In this tough economy, people find it hard to go out like they used to. Going to the movies costs as much as going out to eat. People have to pay for movie tickets and for snacks. The cost of two people going to the movies is $40. Just imagine how much it costs for a family! Because of this, people find it more desirable to watch movies in the comfort of their own home. They have the house to themselves where they can enjoy the movie in piece. Plus, they can find affordable snacks to eat while enjoying the movie. By using a large computer screen, people can enjoy the Flipped movie online together. Both couples and families will fall in love with this film.
I fell in love with this movie as well. It reminds you of your first true love. Flipped pulls your heartstrings. It is about love, loss and growing up. I truly enjoyed watching this film. I routed for Bryce and Juli throughout the movie. I wanted them to stay together, no matter what challenged they faced along their way. Not only did I enjoy the movie, but I enjoyed watching it online in the comfort of my bedroom. You should try and watch Flipped online if you get a chance

Mustards are delicious and give a lift to all sorts of savory foods. We all know the English, French and German varieties, but these recipes give them an extra lift and would make marvelous gifts for a mustard lover.
Minty Mustards
1 8oz jar wholegrain coarse mustard 4 tsp dry mint leaves, finely crumbled
Mix these two ingredients well and either return the mixture to the original jar or put it in smaller jars to give as part of a set of small mustards.
Tarragon Mustard with Vermouth
large handful fresh tarragon leaves 4 oz chopped spring onions 2 8 oz jars Dijon mustard 1 tbsp dry vermouth
Chop the tarragon leaves well and add the spring onions, mustard and vermouth. Mix together very thoroughly. Pour into a clean jar and seal with a tight-fitting lid. This mustard can be stored in the refrigerator for about one month.
Pickles
Pickles can add their own special zing to a meal and are particularly good with cold cuts of meat or poultry. Most vegetables will pickle, so here are some recipes that are especially good.
Dilly Cucumbers
24 small ridge cucumbers 5 pints water 1/2 pint vinegar 4 oz sea salt 1 large handful fresh dill heads 1 large or several small chili peppers
Soak the cucumbers overnight in a solution of salt and water, using 8 oz of sea salt to every pint of water. Then boil together the water, vinegar and sea salt and allow to cool. Drain the cucumbers and arrange in clean canning jars interspersed with layers of dill heads. The cucumbers can be left whole or cut into slices. Add a small chili pepper or pieces of a larger one to each jar. Cover with the vinegar solution and secure the lids.
Sweet Pickled Onions
2 lb pickling onions 1 bunch tarragon 1 bunch mint 1 bunch sweet chervil 4 oz sea salt 1 pint cider vinegar 6 oz granulated sugar
Peel the onions then arrange them on a tray, sprinkle with the sea salt and leave overnight. Carefully wipe all the salt and moisture off the onions and place in clean jars. Put a couple of sprigs of each herb in every jar. Heat the vinegar and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved, then leave to cool. Pour the vinegar over the onions, leaving a very small amount of room in the top of each jar. Secure the lids of the jars. The onions will be ready in about two to three weeks but are a lot tastier after about six to eight weeks, if you can wait that long!
Mint and Tomato Chow Chow
6 average tomatoes 1 onion 1 green pepper, chopped 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp salt 1/2 pint cider vinegar 2 tbsp finely chopped mint
Peel the tomatoes by placing them in boiling water for a few seconds and then carefully removing the skins. Peel the onion and chop the tomatoes and onion finely. Put all the ingredients in a lidded casserole dish and cook at 300ºF until the onion is quite tender (about one to two hours). Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Pour into wide-mouthed jars and cover each jar with a circle of waxed paper, then cover with cellophane and add a label.
Mint Relish
1 pint mint leaves 1 lb onions, peeled and chopped 1 lb apples, peeled and chopped 1/2 lb green tomatoes, peeled and chopped 1 lb sultanas (gold raisins) 2 tsp salt 2 tsp French mustard 1 pint white wine vinegar 1 lb granulated sugar
Heat 1/4 pint of vinegar with the sugar until the sugar has completely dissolved. Leave to cool. Place the remaining vinegar in a saucepan with the salt and mustard. Put the green tomatoes in a food processor for a few seconds until they are mushy, then add to the saucepan. Repeat the process with the mint leaves, apples, onions and sultanas, adding them all to the saucepan. Then simmer all the ingredients until soft. Pour in the vinegar and sugar mixture. Boil the mixture for a couple of minutes and then leave to cool a little. Pour the relish into warm clean jars and cover with waxed paper circles. When completely cool, add cellophane lids and labels.
Sauces
Sauces make a very unusual gift. Although you must provide clear labeling to indicate whether they need to be refrigerated or not, a basket containing a selection of sauces could be very welcome, especially at Christmas. At a time when plenty of ingenuity is needed to use up the inevitable leftovers, a Christmas gift of delicious and unusual sauces could be a real winner!
Pesto
This very Italian sauce is delicious with many foods, as well as pasta. Mixed with mayonnaise it makes a lovely sauce for cold turkey, or you could use it when stuffing some tiny tomatoes or mushrooms. Although you need fresh basil for this recipe, once it has been made, the sauce lasts in the fridge for at least a month or freezes indefinitely.
1 lb fresh sweet basil leaves 4 oz parsley 8 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 8 oz pine nuts 3/4 pint virgin olive oil 8 oz Parmesan cheese sea salt and pepper
Combine the basil, parsley, garlic and pine nuts in a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles a coarse paste. Slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream, with the processor switched on, until all the oil is used up. Add the cheese, sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper and process again for a couple of seconds. Depending on how you plan to package your gift, scrape the mixture into plastic or glass containers. Pour a thin layer of olive oil over the pesto to prevent discoloration, then seal.
Hot Tomato and Coriander Sauce
4 large tomatoes, weighing approximately 1 lb 8 tbsp fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) 2 small hot chili peppers, fresh or canned 2 large onions, weighing approximately 8 oz 2 tbsp garlic vinegar
Put all the ingredients into a food processor and process finely for a few seconds. Alternatively, you can mince all the ingredients well and combine them in a bowl. Taste and add salt if required. Allow to cool, then pour into clean bottles and label. This sauce is delicious served chilled with vegetable or meat dishes.
Tomato Sauce with Olives and Oregano
1 lb peeled tomatoes 3 tbsp green pepper, chopped 1/2 large onion 1 to 2 cloves garlic 3 tbsp olive oil 10 green olives, stoned and chopped finely 1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
Chop the onion and garlic finely and cook in the olive oil until softened and transparent. Add all the other ingredients, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. If you would like a smoother sauce, you can combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and then return to the pan. Simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool, then pour into bottles, seal and label them. This sauce is ideal with cheese dishes, pasta or pork.
Alcoholic Herbal Sauce
1 pint vegetable or chicken stock 8 fl oz white wine, preferably medium-sweet German 1 tbsp fresh rosemary 1 tbsp fresh dill 1/2 tbsp fresh tarragon 3 tbsp butter 3 tbsp flour 1/2 tbsp lemon peel, finely chopped
Mix the stock, wine and herbs together and simmer until reduced by 10 to 20 percent. Melt the butter in a pan and add the flour, stirring vigorously, then cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the stock and wine mixture to the fat and flour by whisking it in with a small balloon whisk. Add the lemon peel and some salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 10 minutes. Strain the sauce to remove the herbs, allow to cool, then pour into bottles, seal and label. This sauce is delicious served hot with vegetables or poultry.
Mango and Coriander Sauce
1 medium mango 4 spring onions (shallots) 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger root 1/2 tsp garam masala (recipe follows) 2 tbsp lime juice 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves (cilantro) 1 tbsp sunflower or grapeseed oil
Heat the oil and gently cook the chopped spring onions (shallots) and ginger for about 5 minutes. Add the garam masala and cook for another couple of minutes.
Chop the mango flesh finely, then add it and all the remaining ingredients to the pan. Stir well, then chill overnight in a covered container in the fridge. The sauce can then be served as it is or processed in a blender to make it a little smoother. Allow to cool, then pour into bottles, seal and label them. This sauce is delicious with cold seafood, fish or chicken.
Garam Masala
This is the most aromatic and fragrant of all Indian spice blends. Used throughout North India in all types of dishes - from appetizers and soups to yogurt salad and main courses - this blend is indispensable to Moghul and North Indian cooking. It is widely available, but my homemade version is more fragrant and, of course, fresher.
Put the cumin, coriander, cardamom, peppercorns, cinnamon, and cloves in a dry heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Toast the spices, stirring occasionally, until they turn several shades darker and give off a sweet smoky aroma, about 10 minutes. Do not raise the heat to quicken the process, or the spices will brown prematurely, leaving the insides undercooked. Cool completely.
Working in batches if necessary, transfer the mixture to a spice mill or coffee grinder and grind to a powder. Stir in the nutmeg and saffron. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Garam Masala keeps for 3 months.
Yield: Makes about 1/2 cup
Coriander Barbeque Sauce
12 oz finely chopped onions 4 garlic cloves, minced 4 oz butter 12 fl oz tomato ketchup 1/4 pint cheap brandy or sherry 2 tbsp brown sugar 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 2 tbsp lemon juice 1/4 pint cider vinegar 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 4 fl oz water 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves
Soften the onions and garlic in the butter but do not let them brown. Add all the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil, stirring well. Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to cool for a short while and then pour into jars. Cover tightly and label.
Packaging Your Goodies
When making mustards, savory sauces and pickles, you can cover the lids in the same way as for sweet jams and jellies, but it can also look attractive to use hessian or calico. Plain calico is very inexpensive and could be stenciled to decorate the tops of sauces or pickles.
Packing a whole meal is an unusual idea with the barbeque sauces you could package a bottle of the sauce with a pair of oven mitts, a packet of dried herbs to throw on to the barbeque and a pair of tongs. Gift-wrap all these together and you have something different for Father's Day! The pickles could be given with a decorated ham or just included in a hamper presentation.

Big Red Dog Question about Clifford the Big Red Dog?
I just don't feel that this is an appropriate character for children. Did they EVER mention taking him to the vet and getting him snipped? Can you IMAGINE how bad it must have been when the big red dog started humping something? I seriously do not think a water bottle would stop that behavior.
This idea for a question inspired by The Geek.
Yes--good point Johnny
They never showed the giant piles of dog crap that had to be picked up either.
Emily Elizabeth has a big red dog--the biggest, reddest dog on her street, and his name is Clifford. How big is he? He's so big that when he runs after cars, he catches them in his mouth, and his doghouse is bigger than Emily Elizabeth's house...
Based on the popular PBS television series, the Clifford Big Red Readers are especially designed to boost the confidence of children just learning to sound out words. Each book features only a few easy-to-read words per page, illustrations that support and explain the text, and comprehension questions for discussion at the end of the story.

Is The Lord Of The Rings Audio Book Suitable For Tolkien Purists?
The Lord of the Rings trilogy has taken the world by storm over the last few years. J.R.R. Tolkien's classic stories have been given a new lease of life thanks to the fantastic cinematic world of Peter Jackson. His film adaptations captured the spirit of the original novels and created a whole new army of Tolkien fans. They were released in three installments as The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). As an aside, in 1978 the animator Ralph Bakshi created an animated version of the story, attracting more fans to the world of the Shire and Middle Earth (though not to the same degree as Jackson's creation).
However, despite the popularity of the novels and the films, many people are unaware of the wonderful Lord of the Rings audio book. The audio book is attracting a sizable fan base, although purists might sneer at the idea of an audio book version of the novel. However, the classic text read aloud brings a whole new dimension to the story and may even provide new insights into the plot. Also, consider the convenience of being able to listen to the novels whilst on the move: in the car, on the train or plane, for example. Maybe you'd like some entertainment whilst sunning yourself on the beach but can't stand the glare of the sun on the white pages of a book!
Are there different versions of the Lord of the Rings Audio Book?
Yes, there are several versions of the story, but perhaps the best known is read by actor Robert Inglis. This is a mammoth work which runs to forty six CDs! The recording is first rate and is completely uncut, which means that you're going to need quite a few days to get through the entire collection! For LOTR devotees this could be the first choice, especially if authenticity is your primary concern.
However, there is another extremely popular Lord of the Rings audio book produced by the BBC. You need to be aware that BBC audio books are usually in a radio-theater style rather than a simple, straightforward reading of the novel. This might be preferable if you are seeking a more entertaining, or fun, experience. The choice between the two styles of audio book is ultimately up to you and your personal preferences.
How much will all this cost me?
As you can imagine, forty six CDs is going to cost quite a bit of money. Think of it, though, as an investment in your future entertainment. In fact, the CDs could cost you up to $100 if bought brand new in the high street. However, thanks to the marvel that is the internet, it is possible to locate discounted, used copies from a number of suppliers. If cost is an issue for you then it would certainly pay to shop around on the web and locate a number of suppliers to compare prices.
Even die-hard Tolkien fans will find the Lord of the Rings audio book an entertaining experience.

Title of next book in the Inheritance trilogy?
I was wondering if anyone knew what the title of the next book in the Inheritance trilogy by Christopher Paolini. If it helps, the other books in the trilogy are "Eragon" and Eldest".
Oh, and does anyone have any idea when this book will be released?
Rumor has it that the last book will be titled EMPIRE. If you notice the first two are 6 letter words that begin with E. Therefore it seems very possible that this is the case.
As far as release date? Last I heard it still has not been announced. Many said summer of 2007, but with Harry Potter 7 being released I doubt this will be the case. A smart marketer would wait for the HP hype to die down as it would certainly overshadow the release of the third Inheritance book. My guess would be late this year or sometime early-mid 2008.
