Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey: We're Engaged!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
After fours years of dating, Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey have announced their engagement. Said the pair in a statement:
"We're excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together."
Lachey rose to fame thanks to his first marriage, as he and Jessica Simpson chronicled their relationship in the kind of reality show that wasn't common place back in the day. They got divorced soon after it went off the air.Minnillo is a former MTV VJ and aspiring actress. She guest-starred on CSI: NY last year alongside Kim Kardashian, an ex-girlfriend of her new fiance.
We wish these two all the best and have one piece of advice for the duo: a couple that does NOT film a reality show together stays together.
Jessica and Nick got married at a young age and being in holloywood seems to be difficult.I love Nick and Jessica together!! what a great couple.. I hope one day they realize they are made for each other.. COME ON GUYS I AM ROOTING FOR YOU..
Come on guys.dont hate. just because hes not with jess doesnt mean u have 2 hate on vanessa. shes the one who filed for divores. plus they make a way better couple.there in love what can u say.
Don't care about this couple @ all!! Now if it was jessica and nick, that's another story. I loved them!!! Unfortunately thatll never happen! Vanessa go hide under a rock and don't come out!!
wish them luck!i used to like jes more even if she is an airhead!
So why are we suppose to care about this couple. As celebs they seem to mean almost nothing. This article would have been more interesting if it was about Heidi Montag farting in public.
I still wish Nick and Jessica were together you could tell the way he looked at her he was so in love. Nick and Vannessa are boring. To me she is no Jessica Simpson. To bad Nick and Jessica broke up they were such a fun and loving couple.
Eeek... I have not been impressed by her ever.. infact watching her on true beauty makes me laugh because she's so not a 'true beauty'. She is kidding herself if she doesn't think she'd fail some of those stunts they put her up to. You can just 'tell' about her. Anyways, I don't have much to say about him. I did kind of wish that they would break up because I like Jessica Simpson and it would be nice if she didn't have to watch him happy with the first chick he'd seriously dated since their divorce. Who in Hollywood ever lasts anyways though?
I am happy for them. Even on the Newlywed show, you could see what a good husband he was and how much effort he tried to put into his marriage. I hope they have a long happy life together.
i guess when htey met up with jessica he had toddo something fast
She looks like his mom. She looks TWICE AS OLD as he does. He looks chubby, but she looks old.

The Transformation of the TMJ Imbalance
Everyone has some TMJ imbalance which can lead to pain and dysfunction. This imbalance can be as minor as a slight shifting of the jaw when fully open, or as major as a full dislocation and inability to open the jaw more than ½ inch. The greater the imbalance in the temporal mandibular joint the greater the pain, dysfunction and degeneration.
There are many challenges involved in effectively treating TMJ. Often, the most misunderstood factor is the cranium. We usually think of the TMJ imbalance as being only in the soft tissue of the temporal mandibular joint, the muscles actually involved in moving the joint. This is short sighted. What is usually overlooked is the imbalance in the cranial bones and cranial motion. This imbalance in the cranial bones leaves an imbalance in the TMJ regardless of the soft tissue. Furthermore, this imbalance in the cranium is the cranial core distortion that is responsible for the core distortion in the entire body. If the imbalance of the cranial motion and resulting misalignment of cranial bones is not addressed first, then working the actual muscles that move the jaw is going to be minimally effective and won't address the root cause of TMJ dysfunction.
Case Study
Sally, a 30-year-old dentist, came for sessions and was suffering from severe headaches, jaw pain and an inability to open her jaw more than the width of one finger between her front teeth. This problem developed in dental school and got progressively worse with orthodontic treatment including braces and grinding down back teeth to balance her bite. She was limited in what she could eat due to her inability to open her mouth and pain when chewing. She also had right carpal tunnel issues that were making the practice of dentistry difficult.
Structural evaluation indicated that she was in the core distortion with left ilium rotated anterior, right ilium rotated posterior, sacrum tilted, exaggerated curvatures in the spine, unequal leg lengths, a twist in the thoracic area, anterior/posterior shoulder rotations, internally rotated right arm, neck forward and tilted to the right and head tilted back to the left. Further evaluation using applied kinesiology, showed weaknesses when opening the mouth, turning eyes to the left and rotating head to the right. Additional testing throughout the body using functional kinesiology tests verified the core distortion. The Cranial/Structural Core Distortion Release (CSCDR) was then applied to address the imbalance in the cranial bones and cranial motion to unwind the cranial imbalances.
This resulted in immediately restoring the range of motion and balance in the cranium and the temporal mandibular joint. Again using kinesiology, her open mouth now tested strong, the pain was diminished and she could open her mouth wide enough for two fingers between the front teeth. Additional cranial/structural work was applied to be sure that the facial bones would move in harmony with the vault cranial bones. At this point, a specialized soft tissue protocol was applied to further release the structural imbalances in the head, neck and shoulders that were part of the core distortion. Sally left the session without a headache, improved range of motion for her bite and very encouraged as this was the first real positive change since the condition had worsened. Sally was scheduled for weekly sessions.
At Sally's second session she reported having only one headache which was less severe than usual, chewing was less painful and she could start to eat food she had given up due to the difficulty in chewing. Structural evaluation showed an improvement throughout her body from the release of the core distortion. A cranial evaluation showed that the CSCDR had produced enough change for weight bearing support throughout her body. However, due to the severity of the initial cranial imbalance, the CSCDR was applied a second time along with facial bone releases to bring the cranium more into balance and unwind soft tissue associated with her TMJ issue. Another specialized soft tissue protocol was applied to further release the shoulders backward, reduce the forward and tilted position of the neck to bring the head to a more level posture and release holding patterns of the core distortion in the soft tissue associated with the jaw. Sally felt relief from the pain in her head, neck and shoulders and noted that her jaw opened and closed more easily. She was excited that she was continuing to have positive changes.
At the third session, Sally reported a week without headaches which was a huge relief, chewing and eating was almost pain free, except when she had to bite down hard and her carpal tunnel was improving with easier control of her hand and less pain. Structural evaluation revealed the head more in alignment with her neck and the forward curvature of the neck was significantly reduced. Cranial evaluation revealed some restriction on the left side which was released with cranial/structural therapy. With the improvements in the head, neck and shoulder area and in the TMJ, a pelvic balancing soft tissue protocol was applied to release the imbalances in the soft tissue from the anterior/posterior rotation of the iliums and resulting long leg/short leg imbalance. This further unwound the original core distortion pattern throughout the body and supported the changes in her head, neck and shoulders.
At the fourth session, Sally was satisfied as she had finally found something that worked and lasted. Structural evaluation indicated major improvements from the initial imbalances of the core distortion throughout her structure. Sally was maintaining the ability to open her jaw with two fingers between her teeth and could chew 90% of her food without pain. Headaches that had been three to four times a week were gone. Carpal tunnel symptoms had disappeared and strength and flexibility were restored in her right hand. Additional cranial evaluation revealed structural sub patterns which were released with additional cranial/structural work to fine tune and further balance the cranium. The specialized head, neck and shoulder soft tissue protocol was again applied, along with specific work to release the connective tissue and muscles of the temporal mandibular joint.
It was now time to do the intraoral work on the soft tissue restrictions associated with the TMJ. This intraoral work is very specific and can be very intense. As stated above, the initial imbalance of the TMJ is principally a core distortion issue both in the cranium and the structure of the body, so by first releasing the imbalances of the core distortion throughout the whole structure you minimize the amount of intraoral work. The deep intraoral muscles are the smaller stabilizing muscles that have less influence than the larger muscles of the jaw and head, neck and shoulder area. This intraoral work increased the range of motion of Sally's jaw to where three fingers could be inserted between the teeth. This was the first time in years that Sally could fully open her mouth, let alone be out of pain.
Sally had four more sessions scheduled once every two weeks. Each session began with a cranial evaluation and cranial/structural releases. This was followed by specialized soft tissue protocols focusing on the head, neck and shoulder area for two sessions, and then two sessions releasing the soft tissue core distortion throughout the rest of her body to support the changes in the head, neck and shoulders and temporal mandibular joint. Sally no longer suffered from TMJ pain and dysfunction and her rehabilitation was complete and long lasting.
The following five points were key in understanding and treating the source of Sally's TMJ dysfunction so successfully:
Other significant relationships between the cranial bones and the structure of the body that affect the core distortion imbalance of TMJ are the temporal bones and the iliums, the maxilla and the pelvic floor, the sphenoid and the ASIS, the occiput and the PSIS and the zygomas and the shoulders.
As you can see, successful long term rehabilitation of TMJ pain and dysfunction necessitates releasing the core distortion throughout the entire body using cranial/structural techniques integrated with specialized myofascial soft tissue protocols for long lasting support and balance.

I can imagine that the bone ache feeling is going to go away after you've given your body time to get over the shock of a new workout routine. The body will adjust and hopefully strength training will improve your bone density. If it doesn't go away then perhaps look into it further. But I get sore. I have fractured my right kneecap 2x and I can get bone pain in that when I do heavy squats or leg presses. I back off when I do and use lower weight with higher reps.

In an effort to kill two marketing birds with one stone, Microsoft posted the Halo 3 game manual online yesterday using their brand new (Flash and Java killing) Silverlight app. This of course means you can page through the game manual from the comforts of your computer a few days before you get the real thing in your mitts, but truth be told we opted to not look through this online version. We like holding our game manuals and paging through them when launch day comes, it's sort of like a side surprise ... a ritual of sorts. Oh, like we said, Microsoft is promoting their new Silverlight flash-esque web app, so you'll only be able to view the Halo 3 game manual once you install the Silverlight plugin into a compatible internet browser. Yes, it sucks, but the hoops are worth jumping if you need your Halo 3 manual viewing. Commence Silverlight install ... now!

The present invention relates to thermoplastic bags which are characterized by two perforated tabs symetrically attached to the front and back walls at the mouth of the bag. Using a sculptured bag or any of several thermoplastic bag structures currently in use (handled or flush-cut; gussetted or flat), the configuration of the two tabs is such that it enables the user to easily open and load the bag while the mouth remains open and the bag in place. Additionally, the placement of the two tabs permits easy loading of a unitary pack on dispensing holders, including armless stands, resulting in more efficient use of time and space by retail users. The placement and scallop design of the tab perforations create stress transfer tips which distribute stress away from creases and slit-seals at the open mouth, preventing tearing or zippering at the mouth of the bag where stress concentration is most likely and permitting greater use of slit-seals and corresponding reduced costs of manufacture.
1. A thermoplastic bag comprising a front bag wall and a rear bag wall and an open mouth portion, said bag having perforated tabs symetrically placed at opposite outer corners of the open mouth portion, the perforated tabs having a hole therethrough, the front and rear bag walls having handle aperture therethrough for use in grasping the bag, the handle aperture located between the tabs said tab perforations being cut out in a scalloped shape to form stress transfer tips at the opposite ends of the open mouth.
2. A thermoplastic bag structure in accordance with claim 1 wherein said front and rear walls are joined together by an intergral pleat portion.
3. A thermoplastic bag structure as recited in claim 1 being characterized by having a hole located near the perforation of each tab, which hole is capable of accepting rod holders.
4. A thermoplastic bag structure as recited in claims claim 1 being characterized by having a curved rise at the center of the open mouth.
5. A thermoplastic bag comprising a front bag wall and a rear bag wall joined at a bottom and at side pleat portions, the bag walls defining an open mouth portion and also defining handles located on opposite sides of the open mouth portion, the bag walls having a curved rise between the handles, the side pleat portions folded substantially into the curved rise between the handles wherein the corresponding curve in the pleat portions forms stress transfer tips.
6. The thermoplastic bag of claim 5 further comprising tabs on the inner periphery of the handles.
7. The thermoplastic bag of claim 6 wherein said tabs are detachable from the handles at perforations.
8. The thermoplastic bag of claim 7 wherein the tabs are located approximately half-way between the top of the handles and the open mouth portion.
9. A thermoplastic bag structure as recited in claim 7 wherein said tabs are characterized by having an extended portion between the perforation and the handle, which extension is characterized by a hole, which hole is capable of accepting rod holders.
The present invention relates to all thermoplastic bag structures currently in use, including sculptured-top, flush-cut, and T-shirt style handle bags and thermally welded unitary packs thereof. The bag structure is specially designed with two perforated tabs to facilitate easy opening and loading by the user. The bags may be manufactured on modern high speed bag equipment for maximum per unit cost effectiveness. Furthermore, the structure and placement of the tab perforations distributes stress concentration away from creases and slit-seals at the mouth of the bag, thus reducing zippering or tearing at the creases or slit-seals of side gussetts.
In the past, flush cut style plastic bags used in retail and grocery applications were typically packaged in cardboard cartons, or on continuous rolls. The user would need to withdraw or tear off a single bag, separate the walls with two hands, open, and then load the bag. Static cling at the bag mouth causes additional inefficiency. These plastic bags did not utilize any detachable tabs for loading onto dispensing racks. The process of using plastic bags in a higher volume store, where fast customer checkout is important, places a premium on handling time. More expensive paper bags are easier and faster to use than these prior art plastic bags, because paper bags are easy to open and will stand upright and stay open while they are being packed.
Other flush cut style plastic bags are manufactured in very thick gauges in order to have a bag stand upright like the paper bag version. This significantly increases raw material costs making them too expensive for the high-volume users, and does not address the problem of more efficient opening for use. Another design is a wicketed bag which comprises a u-shaped wire or u-bolt fastened at the top of the plastic bag pack to secure same to a loading rack. This design is not cost effective in most retail and grocery applications with the current manufacturing processes. The wicket and extra attachments required render the bag making process slow with only one or, sometimes two, bags produced per cycle. This bag making process cannot be applied to the more versatile and desirable side-gusseted bags without a tremendous increase in costs.
The successful introduction of the thinner-gauged, cost effective T-shirt or handle style plastic bag is directly related to the use of a dispensing rack with extended arms enabling the mouth of the bag to be held open while loading. These prior art bags, in some configurations, utilized one perforated tab located at the center of the bag mouth, which tab had the function of mounting the unitary pack on the dispensing rack. These rack dispensers are somewhat difficult to use and good manual dexterity is required in order to stretch the handles over the arms. This is time-consuming with employee training and practice required for minimally efficient use. A further disadvantage of the prior art handle bag structure is that the arms of the rack interfere with the loading of product into the bag and take up considerable space on the loading counter.
The prior manufacturing process of T-shirt style bags (U.S. Pat. No. 3,358,904) presented certain problems of stress concentration in the bag mouth area where tearing or zippering can occur when handles are stretched over arms in dispensing racks or when the bag is placed under load. This problem can be reduced by applying prior invention of U.S. Pat. No. 4,165,832 regarding "stress relief notches". Not resolved is the problem of the tearing of bag sides at the creases of the side gussets. This occurs prior to placing the bag under load, when the handles are stretched over the dispenser rack's arms for loading.
The bag structures of the present invention substantially improve the efficiency with which thermoplastic bags may be placed in use, thereby eliminating the disadvantages of prior art thermoplastic bag structures. The design and placement of the detachable tabs permits the user to open the bag quickly with one hand. The open mouth portion of the bag then automatically remains open to its full breadth while the user is able to use one or two hands to load objects into the bag. In a flush cut plastic bag, the present invention eliminates the costly manufacturing process of using wickets. In a T-shirt bag, the present invention additionally saves space and time by eliminating the need for dispensing rack systems with arms. Minimum dexterity and training by the user is needed. Further, the open mouth portion of the present bag structures are especially designed to distribute stress concentration away from the vulnerable creases and slit-seals, where the bag is most likely to tear. The present invention can be effectively produced on high-speed, bottom seal bag machines at two to four or even more bags per cycle, thus improving the economics of manufacturing.
FIGS. 1, 1-A, and 1-B show the present invention of a sculptured plastic bag with die cut handle in two designs, with a schematic representation of a bag in use.
FIGS. 2 and 2-A show the present invention of a flush cut bag, with a schematic representation of a bag in use.
FIGS. 3 and 3-A show the present invention of a T-shirt bag, with a schematic representation of a bag in use.
FIGS. 4 and 4-A show the present invention of a T-shirt bag which is characterized by tab extensions containing optional retainer holes, with a schematic representation of said bag in use.
FIGS. 5, 5-A, and 5-B show a perspective view of a unitary pack of each of the bag structures illustrated in FIGS. 1-A, 2, and 4, respectively, with focus on the perforated tab in each structure (optional retainer holes are shown).
FIGS. 6 and 6-A show a schematic representation of a prior art bag structure and the stress points thereof.
FIGS. 7, 7-A and 7-B show schematic representations of present bag structures and the stress points thereof.
The bag structures of the present invention (e.g., FIG. 1, sculptured top; FIG. 2, flush cut; or FIG. 3, T-shirt) are generally comprised of, and fabricated from, a flattened plastic tube. This tube may be flat or gusseted. The bags are comprised of an open mouth portion (2) at, or near, the top, and a thermally sealed bottom (3) which creates the bag's purse, when loaded. The present invention is equally efficacious with flat or gusseted side walls, with or without slit-seals. The gusseted styles are characterized by side edges of the bag structure which comprise inwardly folded gussets (1) allowing for bag expansion during loading.
Slit-seals are produced by a flattened tube, twice as wide as is required for the bag width, cut (or slit) into two tubes, side by side, in the width desired. This slitting is done by a hot, sharp, blade that reseals the two tubes simultaneous to the cutting process. This operation produces a slit-seal bag, which is to be distinguished from a more expensive tube type or seamless bag without slit-seals. The slit-seal process may also be done to convert a large tube into multiples of 3, 4, and even more smaller tubes when deemed desirable. Slit seals are usually located at the center crease on the side gusset (20) or on the outside crease of a flat bag. As will be more particularly described herein, the present invention permits wider use of the slit-seal operation.
The bags are formed into convenient unitary packs for shipping and loading onto dispensing holders. This can be done by stacking the bags into a pre-determined plurality, and then assembling them into a unitary pack by penetrating the stack with a heated blade or punch element which heat-welds them together to form apertures (4) located on the outside corners of the bag mouth. In the T-shirt style handled bag, the apertures (4) are formed at a location toward the upper central portion of the bag that will line up with the dual tabs (6). A cut-out operation then cuts the perforation (5), forming the dual detachable tabs (6). The same cut-out operation can shape the mouth of the bag to form the sculptured top or the T-shirt style handles.
One form of the present invention is the sculptured bag as shown in FIGS. 1, 1-A, 1-B and 5-A. During the cut-out process, in which the perforations (5) and the dual tabs (6) are created, the sculptured top is formed. The rise in the middle of the bag (7) created in this process may or may not include a die-cut handle (8). During this cut-out process, it may be desirable to cut away the corners (9) and recycle this material to realize an extra cost savings. The apertures (4) are utilized to mount the two detachable tabs (6), onto supporting hooks (10), or similar elements of a bag holder (11). The holder serves to suspend and support the individual unitary pack above a counter-top or loading surface.
Use of the bag is greatly facilitated by the present invention as follows: The user pulls open and forward at the die-cut handle on the front wall of the forwardmost bag (12). The front wall and side gusset walls separate from the dual tabs (6) at the perforations (5) leaving the rear wall tabs intact. Thus the rear wall is supported by the two rear tabs, preventing the rear and side bag walls from collapsing inwards. This structure allows the bag mouth (2) to open to it's widest extent for quick and easy top loading, while the front wall naturally holds in place without the need to maintain a hand on the said front wall. When loading is completed, the loaded bag is pulled forward and rear wall then separates from the dual tabs (6) at the perforations (5). It is to be noted that other configurations of one or two tabs at the center or toward the center of the bag mouth, as utilized in prior art, does not suffice to hold up the outer side walls of the bag or permit the bag mouth to open to it's widest extent.
A second form of bag structure of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2, 2-A and 5, is the flush cut style. Manufactured in the same manner as described above, it differs from the sculpture-top bag only in that the top is straight across the open mouth, with perforated tabs cut-out at the outer corners. The apertures (4) are utilized to mount the dual, detachable tabs (6) onto supporting hooks (10), or similar elements on a bag holder (11).
Loading operations are the same as in the sculptured bag: the user pulls open and forward the top-center of the front wall (13) of the forwardmost bag with one hand. The front bag wall and side gusset walls separate from the dual tabs (6) at the perforations (5). The rear wall remains intact, thus supporting the bag by preventing the rear and side bag walls from collapsing inward. When the loading is completed, the loaded bag is pulled forward and rear wall then separates from the dual tabs (6) at the perforations (5).
A third form of bag structure of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 3, 3-A, 4, 4-A, and 5-B, and is commonly referred to as a T-shirt style bag. The T-shirt style bag is distinguished by handles (14) attached to, and a part of, the front, rear, and inwardly folded side-gusseted walls. Unlike the flush cut style bag, the T-shirt style is also thermally sealed along the top edge (15) to create the closed handle (14) in a similar fashion as it is sealed along the bottom edge (3). When utilized, slit-seals at the sides are produced in the same manner as the previous two bag structures. The two detachable tabs (6) of the present invention are located on the inner periphery of the bag mouth, at or near the mid-point between the top of the handles and the bottom of the open mouth potion. Apertures (4) are formed by heated blade or punch elements as in the other bag structures, and the two detachable tabs with perforations (5) are formed during the cut-out process. The apertures (4) are utilized to mount the dual, detachable tabs onto supporting hooks (10) or similar elements on a bag holder (11). Hooks (10) are spaced far enough apart to allow the handles to lay outwardly when the unitary packs are mounted on the holder.
During the loading operation (FIG. 3-A), the user pulls open and forward the top-center (16) of the front wall of the forwardmost bag. The front bag wall and side gussset parts of the handles (14) separate from the dual tabs at the perforations (5). The rear wall remains intact with the dual tabs thus supporting the bag while the handles (14) lay outwards. This, together with the support at the dual tabs, prevents the rear, front and side bag walls from collapsing inward. The bag mouth (2) will automatically open wide (FIG. 3-A) for quick and easy top loading, as in the previous bag structures. It is to be noted that placement of one or two tabs at or near the top of the handles, or on the outside of the handles, cause the bag mouth to be restricted in opening. Tabs placed on the outside cause bag handles to fall inward and the bag to collapse. Tabs placed high on the handles cause the bag mouth opening to be restricted, and side walls have insufficient support to enable the bag mouth to naturally remain open. A single tab in the center of the bag mouth, as is widely used in prior art U.S. Pat. No. 4,165,832), also restricts bag opening and provides no support to prevent the side walls from collapsing inwardly. A dispensing rack with extended arms over which handles are stretched is required for this bag structure.
Extension arms on a holder are not required with the present invention as there is a natural tendency for the bag to stand up and open when the front wall is detached from the holder. However, for certain circumstances such as top-heavy articles for loading, it may be desirable to have additional support of the bag walls provided by optional rod holders as shown in FIGS. 5, 5-A, 5-B, 4 and 4-A. In this event, the present invention may be comprised of additional retainer holes (17) in FIGS. 5, 5-A, and 5-B) to accept rod holders. These retainer holes (17) are formed by a cold hole-punch element such that the peripheral area of the aperture are not fused together, thus permitting free movement to the front bag wall along the rod holder during the bag opening operation. The retainer holes are located near, but on the inside or bag-side of, the tab perforations to provide easy mounting onto rod holders ((18) in FIG. 4-A). On a flush cut or sculptured bag (FIGS. 5 and 5-A respectively) they are punched through the front, side, and rear walls, during the cut-out operation, as far outward as possible to limit the rod holders interference with the loading process. On the T-shirt style bag FIG. 5-B) the tabs are extended further away from the handles during the cut-out process and the retainer holes are cut-out in the extended portion of the tab, between the perforation and the handle structure. Thus the rod holders may be utilized as necessary without the cumbersome operation of stretching the handles over support arms as in prior art bags.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, removal of the individual bag from the dual tabs results in the formation of upwardly extending tips, called stress transfer tips (STT), as shown on FIG. 7. These tips are actually formed in the cut-out of the perforation (5) for the dual tab (6). The point of each STT is located on the crease and/or slit-seal of the bag side at the open mouth portion. The function of the stress transfer tip is described in detail hereinafter.
As shown on FIGS. 6 and 6-A, the most vulnerable stress locations on a prior art bag are at the top of the gusset or side creases (19) and at the top of the slit-seal (20) along the inward center crease of the side gusset. Because of vulnerability to force F, manufacturers of thermoplastic bags do not utilize the more cost efficient slit-seal to the maximum extent desirable.
The bag structure of the present invention is characterized by cutting the perforations in a "scalloped" shape (5) at the tabs (6), as shown on FIGS. 1 and 2. When the front wall of the bag is pulled open, resulting in the application of force F, the stress transfer tips thereby formed transfer the stress from the apex of the crease or slit-seal to the less vulnerable panels between the creases (21), thus reducing the incidence of tearing in the side wall or side gusset.
Stress transfer tips of the present invention are formed in the T-shirt bag structure by the rise in the top middle portion of the bag mouth ((7) of FIGS. 4 and 5). The side gusset panels are made wider than the handles (14) so as to extend the center crease of the side gusset panels (22) to a point along the upward rising curve of the rise in the bag mouth. The stress transfer tip on the center crease is then formed when the bag mouth is cut out. The stress transfer tips function in the same fashion as other bag structures to transfer stress away from the center crease or slit-seal when force F is applied during the opening operation.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, a rise in the top middle portion of the front and rear wall of the open bag mouth (7) is provided during the cut-out process. As shown on FIGS. 1, 3 and 4, this rise at the center enhances the ability of the user to quickly grasp the outer or front wall of the bag to pull open for use.
Although the present invention has been described with preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that modifications and variations may be resorted to, without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention, as those skilled in the art will readily understand. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the purview and scope of the appended claims.

Location was great. Staff friendly and very helpful. Clean rooms and great breakfast.
A bit noisy on the street side of the hotel. We changed rooms and it was much more quiet. Bathrooms in the small rooms are much to small. Could hardly turn around in it without the door hitting us. Hotel staff told us all bathrooms were same size, but clearly they are not. When we switched rooms the bathroom in the new room was three times larger!! No Joke!!
I used the dine-in food service they offer & it was excellent. The pool was being renovated but the fitness room was the best I 've ever seen in a hotel.
The people in the next room woke me up several times screaming at their kid. Maybe don't put families next to single rooms?
Location, friendly staff, price.
Overnight parking is a little pricy.
I had an amazing time Free shuttle to the city center and the staff were so freindy
I enjoyed the comforts provided by the hotel and staff
Nothing, my trip was great!
The size of the room was good.
The wait time to check in had a early fly so when I got there I wanted to settle down but we had to wait for an hour to check in
Breakfast personnel were very nice
Shuttle service never available even When asking 2 days ahead of time, front desk clerk was rude and not very helpful. Room was very small and hard to find places to put suitcases. House cleaning seemed annoyed when we ask for towels in the hall when they hadn't cleaned our room yet at 2 p.m.
5-10 minute walk from space needle and monorail. Very comfortable room, big , with jacuzzi in suite and comfortable king size bed. Breakfast was good, and you could make your own waffles. They had a very nice lobby with a fire place and a computer with internet access and printer. They had a free shuttle takes you downtown.
They do not have a restaurant for lunch or dinner, but there is a 20 minute walk to the restaurant area in 2nd Avenue.
The hotel is situated near Space Needle. It is old, but clean and I really liked my stay there. The staff was friendly and all was pretty uncomplicated. Wifi is fast and easy to use. Iwould do it again!
Very well located, breakfast was fine and the room was huge and comfy.
Personal available and professional.
The room had a strange smell the whole week, even after cleaning. Braekfast: Bad cofee. Hyper-industrial pastry. The bread was also hyper-industrual and add an amoniac smell. Positive is that we had fruits and good yogurts.
We were happy with the location. Easy walking distance to main points-of- interest in Seattle. The breakfast had a number of options, and we were well fed. WiFi was reliable enough to watch Netflix on our laptop.
Staff were unfriendly and apathetic. Confused about simple things like the procedure to pay for the room. We got conflicting information every time we talked to the front desk. Rooms were tiny. Hardly room for our suit cases. Smallest hotel bathroom I have ever seen. Had to straddle the toilet to use the hair dryer. Bathroom light kept going out. Which makes for a very dark shower. Areas of the room had not been cleaned in a long while. Room telephone did not work. The neighboring hotel rooms' (empty room I believe) alarm clock was set for 3 am and went off for 1 hour two nights in a row. Even after we asked the room attendants and front desk to turn it off. Loud enough to keep us away for the full hour. Hardly any blankets on the bed. One sheet and one thin sheet-like blanket thing. We had to use the throw blanket we had brought for travel. The heater did not have a thermostat, so it could not be left on all night as it got unbearable hot in the room if we did. Weather was below freezing outside so we had to wake up every couple of hours to put on the heater for a few minutes to take the chill off. We still had a great trip! Won't be staying in that hotel again though.
Excellent location, you can actually walk to the Space Needle and the Seattle Center. Good breakfast
Pay for parking since, in Seattle, we spent more in parking lots than food
Good Breakfast
Thin Walls, Noisy Heater.
the gym was a joke and still no pool. gees how long does it take?
It was walking distance to the Space Needle. Breakfast was awesome Near a Walgreens so easier to get last minute things.
Parking can get hectic and it's near a main road.
Very friendly and efficient front desk staff. Complimentary breakfast quite good - far above most I have experienced. Great location near the Seattle Center and the attractions I wanted to see. Great bed and comfort. Easy parking at the hotel.
Did not realize that all rooms did not have refrigerator, so had to change rooms - but the front desk staff were quite gracious about it. It is close to a busy highway, but the windows are good, so it was pretty quiet in spite of the highway.
Clean rooms and close to the Space Needle and other attractions
Bathroom was tiny.
The fitness center and complimentary breakfast.
The room was soo tiny for the price paid. The hotel is outdated. And $15 for parking is too much when your paying to much for a tiny room. Not pleased.
Convenient location close to Space Needle& easy walk to Downtown area. 3 separate maintenance issues with our room were attended promptly on our request . Staff were very helpful. Rooms serviced well.
This property is old & tired. Needs maintenance Room was small , bathroom was minute . Towels old, thin , stiff like cardboard .
Location was great, staff friendly and the option of a bigger breakfast (more than just continental breakfast at most hotels) to start the day was nice.
Very noisy! Walls are thin making you able to hear all neighboring rooms. Slept with ear plugs each night and still could hear noise. I heard the radio alarm clock next door like it was in my room. Construction right outside the window starting early in the morning- loud
Good location.
Relatively pricy considering it hasn't been renovated for a while...
Great location, nice hot tub
Room keys didn't always work. Staff left curtains open even though I left a note in English and Spanish right next to their tip asking them not to. Paid highest room price and requested a room facing space needle but was overlooking busy street instead
Primarily the location. Complimentary breakfast was great.
Lack of really close restaurants for evening meal.

Jury selection begins today in trial of disgraced former Knox County judge
Sex, lies and audiotape.
That will be the crux of the federal case against disgraced former Knox County Criminal Court Judge Richard Baumgartner this week, with jury selection to begin today.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys David Lewen and Zachary Bolitho have filed various motions indicating how they intend to prove Baumgartner is guilty of seven counts of misprision of a felony for allegedly lying to cover up a drug conspiracy involving his pill-supplier and mistress Deena Castleman.
"In the current case, the United States will show that Defendant took seven affirmative steps to conceal a drug conspiracy involving Deena Castleman," the prosecutors wrote in a trial brief. "More specifically, he affirmatively reached out to specific people who had involvement with Deena Castleman, he made false statements to them, and those false statements were designed to create a false impression and keep secret the fact that Deena Castleman was involved a drug conspiracy."
Among the evidence they site is proof of a sexual relationship between Castleman, who graduated from a Drug Court program Baumgartner helped found, and an audio recording of a call between Castleman and Baumgartner at a time when she was locked up in the Knox County Jail.
Baumgartner's defense team of Donald A. Bosch and Ann Short are asking Greeneville U.S. District Judge Ronnie Greer to limit just how much "salacious detail" of the pair's sexual relationship is revealed.
Greer has summoned 100 potential jurors from East Tennessee, the largest pool ever convened here. Greer wanted to put some distance between the Baumgartner trial and potential jurors in the East Tennessee media market by holding the trial in Greeneville and pulling potential jurors from Upper East Tennessee counties. Baumgartner, however, insisted on his right to a trial in the county in which his alleged crimes occurred, so the case will be tried in Knoxville U.S. District Court.
Greer has turned aside Baumgartner's bid to have the case thrown out, rejecting his argument that lying to the likes of state judicial officials, such as two judges, a prosecutor and a child support referee, and private citizens, such as nurses at a hospital where Castleman was being treated, did not amount to a federal crime because no federal officials were involved.
Baumgartner left the bench in January 2011 amid a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation probe of allegations he used Castleman to acquire prescription painkillers and, later, bought pills from a felon on probation in his court. He pleaded guilty to a state charge of official misconduct but walked away with his pension intact. The U.S. Attorney's Office indicted him in May.

I really loved the dress on the last picture in the FW 2010 show from Valentino (photo credit to InStyle), which inspired me to do a similar skirt. I drafted the pattern myself, from a simple hemi-circular skirt (with no darts) and made three tiers. I also modified the back to have it longer than the front, in the same way that the original dress did.
I used facings for the scalloping,and a really useful tutorial from the Coletterie blog. I have constructed the tiers directly onto the lining. I Where I could improve is the closures: putting the invible zipper gave me lots of trouble and it's still a bit bubbly but I am really happy with the overall cute (but not too much) aspect of the dress and I only used a wool remnant (about 85cm by 150cm) from a previous project to construct the skirt. The fabric is not as sheer as the photos seem to show.
Ivory wool challis, ivory lining, ivory invisible zip.
Nov 29, 2011, 05.32 PMby kelleymcaloon
I would improve it by making the back smooth. Put the seams on the side, including the zipper. Just my opinion. I think its beautiful!! great job
Nov 29, 2011, 09.17 PMby G-A-
Great idea, I hadn't thought of that (I basically did exactly the same back than the original). Although I am not quite sure I had enough fabric to follow this great suggestion.

Thats whats great about sewing for ourselves. We get to try and try again!!

When founders J. Kim Tucci, Joseph A. Fresta, and John P. Ferrara first opened The Pasta House Co. in 1974, they wanted to elevate pasta to an art form. ?Some artists sculpt, some paint, and some sketch,? they write on the restaurant?s website. ?But, at The Pasta House Co., we create authentic Italian culinary delights.? A few of the locations even have giant, exhibition kitchens so you can watch as pizzas, pastas, and entrees come to life.
Naturally, The Pasta House Co.?s menu revolves around the Italian staple from which it gets its name. There are more than 25 varieties of pasta to choose from, including linguine with chicken livers and the signature lasagna, plus weekday specials such as stuffed manicotti. Meanwhile, the mangia bene menu?which translates to ?eat well? in Italian?showcases the more wholesome side of Italian eating, with dishes low in fat and calories that won?t peer pressure you to break curfew.
In the family-style dining room at LuBar & Bistro, chatter from an underground bar, full-service bar drifts up the stairs, hinting at hidden revelry. A stone-fired oven for pizzas spills warmth out across the open space, skilled hands craft Italian ice cream, and spoons click against pots of housemade barbecue sauce, dressings, and marinara. Servers cruise by, transporting sandwiches and gluten-free options down to the underground lounge, where neon darts in ghosts of blue and pink off of a forest of bottles and a gleaming marbled bar. Bartenders mix drinks, ice clicking to punctuate tunes on the jukebox and occasional live music. As patrons lower glasses full of suds from Sam Adams, Hoegaarden, and Smithwick's, big-screen TVs show sporting events and a soon-to-arrive cadre of video games—including Golden Tee—promise digital thrills. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, a breakfast buffet beckons to early risers from 8 a.m. to noon.
Winner of Mid Rivers Magazine's 2009 award for Best Pizza, A'mis Italian Restaurant garners compliments from area natives and transplants for its kitchen's mastery of regional pizzas ranging from hand-tossed New York?style pies to Chicago?style pizzas baked in a deep pie dish. St. Louis pizzas sport a thin-crust base that's sprinkled with a blend of provel cheese and mozzarella. All pizza dough is baked fresh every day in a brick oven. Entrees also include steak and pasta dishes, as well as lighter dinner options, such as grilled chicken or poached cod, that give diners fewer calories and grant increased aptitude for speaking in fishtongue.
Italian-born recipes guide Schiappa's chefs as they hand-spin pies out of house-made dough, crafting colossal disks that span up to 40 inches. Dining duos weave one of the menu's traditional toppings, such as italian sausage, pineapple, or pepperoni, through the14-inch pizza's lush mozzarella foliage or into drab living-room tapestries. Cheesy first courses make way for 10 wings dressed in one of eight flavor getups, including sweet hot, Caribbean jerk, and scorching. A pair of soft drinks washes down savory slices, and on Sundays during football season from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., NFL games get sports buffs more riled up than a bull trapped in Santa's walk-in closet
The pizza at Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza is always cold. Not because it's old, but because it's so fresh that it hasn't been cooked yet. Assembled and customized before your eyes, the colorful, unbaked disk is then taken home and thrown into your own oven. The crust crisps to exactly your preference, whether a thin crust bubbling with chicken, bacon, and artichoke, or a Chicago–style stuffed with salami, pepperoni, sausage, and ground beef. Each pizza can also be customized from scratch, with ambitious eaters choosing from 8 meats, 4 cheeses, and 15 veggie toppings. A bevy of side plates complements any meal, with crisp salads, bake-your-own cookie dough, and dessert pizzas.
With fresh ingredients and real mozzarella, the piesmiths of Pazzo Pizza unfurl an enticing menu of savory Italian provender made from scratch. Baked in a rustic stone oven, each crispy pizza is born of hand-tossed dough and an infusion of family lore, like the Sicily-imported marinara recipe and the story about Grandma's eye patch, itself a pizza. Customers can select a topping from a list of nearly 20 options, including applewood bacon, provel cheese, and fresh tomatoes. This meal gets a fizzy lift with a 2-liter sidekick of soda. Though delivery is available, this Groupon does not cover the $2 delivery fee, which goes toward training homing pizzas.
