A thermoplastic bag comprising a front wall and a rear wall. The upper edge of said rear wall is turned inwardly and the resultant downwardly facing pouch is sealed along its edges to the upper edges of the rear bag walls. The upper portion of the front bag wall has an adhesive stripe extending across the width thereof. The adhesive stripe is protected from direct contact with the pouch on the opposite wall, until it is desired to close and seal the bag, by means of a strip of release paper covering the adhesive or, alternatively, by folding a portion of the front bag wall back upon itself to cover the adhesive stripe.
1. A thermoplastic bag comprising a front wall and a rear wall, said walls being continuously joined together along their bottom edges, said front and rear walls being heat sealed together along the major portion of their opposite longitudinal edges, the upper portions of said front and rear bag walls initially forming flaps which are not joined together along their opposite longitudinal edges, said rear bag wall upper flap being turned downwardly into overlying relationship with an interior portion of said rear bag wall surface and said rear wall flap being sealed along its opposite longitudinal edges to the upper edges of said rear bag wall, thereby forming a downwardly facing pouch, said upper flap portion of said front bag wall forming a locking flap and being characterized by having a pressure-sensitive adhesive stripe extending across the width of the inner surface of said flap, said locking flap being folded in a Z-fold configuration, a portion of said configuration covering said stripe.
2. A thermoplastic bag structure in accordance with claim 1 whereby said adhesive stripe is protected, until ready for use, by covering said stripe with a length of release paper.
3. A thermoplastic bag in accordance with claim 1 wherein said adhesive is a member selected from the group consisting of acrylic, natural and synthetic rubbers or polyvinyl ether based pressure sensitive adhesives.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to thermoplastic bags and in particular specially-designed bags having an adhesive closure arrangement. The adhesive is protectively covered until it is desired to close and seal the bag.
The bag comprises a specially-designed pouch formed interiorly of the bag adjacent the open mouth thereof. The cuff is designed to contain one end of an article which is packaged in the bag. The pouch forms a primary, built-in mechanical closure for containing the bag contents. Additionally, a secondary adhesive stripe closure located intermediate the outer pouch wall and the adjacent bag wall provides a tight, integral closure protecting the contents of the bag against intrusion of dust and foreign materials and additionally preserving the freshness of the bag contents. An added advantage of such a bag closure is that since the primary strength of the closure is derived from the interiorly bag pouch, the need for strength in the adhesive seal is not as critical as when only a pressure sensitive adhesive is employed to close and contain the bag contents. This allows for the adhesive which is employed on the bags to be much less aggressive or tacky, thereby facilitating ease of handling and closure manipulation of individual bags.
2. Brief Description of Prior Art
In the past, numerous closure arrangements have been proposed and employed as closure devices for securing plastic bags in a closed condition. Such devices include rubber bands or so-called twist-ties, paper or plastic coated lengths of wire, which are fastened around the gathered and twisted neck of a plastic bag to secure it in closed condition. An obvious disadvantage of such closure devices is that they do not form an integral part of the bag structure and hence, may not in many instances be readily accessible when it is desired to effect closure of the bag. Another closure arrangement for plastic bags which has been employed in the past, without significant commercial success, is the employment of an exposed and unprotected adhesive stripe adjacent the open mouth of such bag structures. Such an arrangement presented many drawbacks. When such bags were packaged within a dispensing carton either in continuous roll form or individually adjacent to one another, the bags had a tendency to stick to one another as well as to exterior objects following dispensing of individual bags from the container, thus making it difficult to use the bags. Also, the adhesives necessarily were relatively non-aggressive in an attempt to alleviate such problems thereby making the closures insecure.
The invention is directed to thermoplastic bags having front and rear walls which are integrally joined along their bottom edges. The longitudinal edges of the bag walls are heat sealed together along the major portion of their edges. The upper portion of the bag rear wall is folded downwardly and sealed along its opposite edges to the upper edges of the bag rear wall thereby forming a downwardly facing pouch. The upper portion of the front bag wall forms a locking flap which has a pressure sensitive stripe extending across the width of the flap. The pressure sensitive stripe is adapted to be adhesively secured to the downwardly facing pouch. The adhesive stripe is protected from direct contact with the adjacent pouch on the rear wall until it is desired to close and seal the bag. The adhesive stripe protection may take the form of a disposable release paper covering the stripe or, alternatively, the flap may be folded back upon itself in a manner that covers the adhesive stripe. When a product, such as a sandwich, is inserted into the open mouth of the bag and the closure flap adhesively secured to the outer surface of the pouch the bag securely encases the sandwich and when the bag is inverted, the bag contents enter the pouch and remain securely encased.
FIG. 1 is a perspective, fragmentary view of an embodiment of the bag structure of the present invention in an open position.
FIG. 2 is a persepective view of the bag shown in FIG. 1 during the initial closing manipulation.
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary, perspective view of the bag shown in FIG. 2 as the closing manipulation continues.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of the bag structures shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 in a closed and sealed condition.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the bag structure of the present invention in the closed and sealed condition and containing a product, e.g. a sandwich.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 the bag structures of the present invention comprise a front wall 12 and a rear wall 11, the walls being joined together by fold line 16 at the bag bottom and heat seals 17 secure the major portion of the longitudinal edges of the bag. The upper portion of rear wall 11 is folded downwardly to form a downwardly facing pouch the edges of which are secured, as by heat sealing to the upper longitudinal edges of rear wall 11. Also as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 the upper portion of front wall 12 forms a closure flap 13. Flap 13 has a stripe of pressure sensitive adhesive 14 extending across its width. Suitable adhesive materials which may be employed include acrylic resins, natural and synthetic based rubbers, and polyvinyl ether based pressure sensitive adhesives. Adhesive stripe 14 is protected from premature adherence to the bag structure proper or to extraneous objects by folding a portion of closure flap 13 back upon itself in such a manner that a "Z-fold" is produced, as shown in FIG. 1, whereby a portion of closure flap 13 now protectively covers adhesive stripe 14. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when it is desired to close and seal the bag, the upper edge of locking flap 13 is pulled upwardly unfolding the "Z-fold" until the adhesive stripe is completely exposed, see FIG. 3. The locking flap 13 is then folded upwardly until adhesive stripe 14 is brought into pressure engagement with cuff 15, as shown in FIG. 4, thereby sealing the mouth 11' of the bag. FIG. 5 illustrates a commodity, such as a sandwich which has been protectively enclosed by the bag structure of the present invention.
Although not illustrated in the accompanying drawings, a strip of coated release paper may be used to protectively cover adhesive stripe 14 until ready for use rather than employing the "Z-fold" configuration as illustrated and hereinabove described. Release materials which may be commonly employed generally comprise various types of paper impregnated, typically, with silicone based compounds. Also various plastics, for example, high density polyethylene, have inherent release properties which make them suitable for use as a protective cover in this application. Surface treatment of the bag film by corona discharge, chemical, or other conventional techniques will also make the bag flap 20 more receptive to adhesion by the adhesive.
It will be understood that when an object to be packaged is inserted into the open mouth 11' of the bag and the bag is subsequently sealed, the packaged article is free to slip into the confines of cuff 15 if the bag is turned or inverted as shown in FIG. 5. While cuff 15 provides excellent security for the bag contents, adhesive stripe 14 provides an integral seal which protects the bag contents against the intrusion of foreign materials and additionally maintains the freshness of the bag contents.
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.

Despite its flaws this was still good value for money, self catering in a perfect location, suprisingly quiet, just outside the city centre, within walking distance of everything you could need. Just 10/15 minutes walk to the Dom, and when it's time to head home the S-Bahn can drop you off straight on your doorstep. - Anonymous
Star Apartments was amazing and great value for money. For a reasonable price, we got a comfy and pleasant studio apartment with cooking facilities (as well as a kettle for tea!)

My eyes are tired. We're sitting here in the coffee shop in another soulless suburb on a yawning Saturday. We don't have much to say to each other so I distract myself again by picking at the crusted coffee around the lip of my cup.
I'm taken by the shape of people's shoes as they walk past, and if I keep my head at an angle I can't see their heads. I sneak a glance at you, and you're looking in the other direction, freeing me up to follow the shoes. If you caught me with my head bowed and angled like this, peering out the grimy franchise coffee shop window, you'd make that sound between your teeth.
But shoes always make me guess. Some arch and bend, but others flick-flick-flick past. I like the ones that are struck by indecision – they tap, or jiggle, or move one way and stop, gather with another pair and converse tongue to tongue. I once saw a pair that lunged and slid in a pattern, and it drove me crazy so I had to look up and see who they belonged to. Generally I try not to look. That's part of the test. Looking up is cheating, looking up tells another story. I can't tell you how many times I've been disappointed in the faces of the shoes I've seen.
In truth I prefer the shoes. In the time that it takes for a pair to pass my vision I need to work out where they are going and why. I have to look for the telltale marks that tell me who they are.
I look for the high heels with the little cap of plastic missing off the pointy bit of heel because they are the girls who work too hard. The worn down women with visions of whom they might have been, refusing to give up on a pair of shoes. They are walking on their exposed nub of metal underneath. They are the shoes of frantic days, of skittered steps creating an annoying thud-click, thud-click as the pair doesn't quite match up anymore.
Then there are the inflated trainers, scuffed at the sides, that don't so much walk as kind of roll along. The movement means the shoes are nervous, but they don't want you to know that and they'd spit at you rather than admit it.
I also like the soft canvas shufflers. There is a gentle acceptance in their movement, a sliding gait. They are the conversationalists, these shoes, but not in a showy way. They save that showy display for those awful plastic cloggy things that scream loudly as they walk. No, the canvas shufflers are the quiet ones. They take in their surrounds. They pause, mutter gently before apologetically turning around and going the other way.
My coffee is cold now. You've been watching me watch the shoes over the chaos of your newspaper with your simultaneous disgust and disapproval. There is nothing I can say. I glance down at your shoes.
in response to a prompt offered up by the Graphic Scratch – "people watching"
Loved this…….very different….as you always seem to do….you have a unique way with your writing and I find it sublime. XXXX
Thanks Arcadia. I think I'm developing a line of characters who are a little OCD.

I like this so much. I love when people write about everyday things….and what more ordinary than shoes? The ending is awesome too. So happy to make my first reading of your work a favorite.
I'm touched Cassey. I hope I keep up the standard!

Dear, I always devour your stories like a pregnant woman that hadn't eaten all day… walking away with a belly full of life. You're one of my favorite writers on here… always an intriguing story.
You've given me a big smile Shadow. Thanks.
– anya
Once again Anya – your stories just draw me in and I always sigh when I come to the end, because it is the end and there is no more to read. I love to people watch, and next time I'm sitting in a cafe..I will be watching shoes! :)
There's nothing more telling, I reckon. Shoes tell you so much about a person. Almost as much as a ringtone.
– anya
Great writing Anya, it really does take the reader into your little shoe watching fetish, mind you, you cast aspersions on the fake crocs that I practically live in ;-). A well deserved win in the "watching" challenge.
Ta very much Matt. I would encourage you to get those brightly lolly coloured things off your feet though…

2:00 PM ET, January 6, 2008
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Shuffling off the court with heads down, the seventh-ranked Georgia Lady Bulldogs got reacquainted with an old, bad feeling.So, this is what it's like to lose.Amber Harris scored 19 points and Ta'Shia Phillips added 16 on Sunday, a balanced attack that helped Xavier pull away to a 65-55 victory over the previously unbeaten Lady Bulldogs.On the verge of a notable win, Georgia fell hard.The Lady Bulldogs (13-1) were one victory away from matching the best start in their program's history. They got thoroughly outplayed by a young team still trying to find itself.Xavier shot 53 percent from the field and had a 36-26 edge in rebounds."What does a competitor do when somebody punches you?" Georgia coach Andy Landers said. "You punch back. We didn't punch back. We didn't compete."Sickening, is what it is. It's sickening."Xavier (10-5) used its balance and grit to pull off a signature win. In their biggest game so far, the Musketeers found they could rely on their two best players.Harris, a sophomore forward who already holds the school's career record for blocked shots, had 11 points as Xavier pulled ahead in the first half. Phillips, a freshman center, provided the inside scoring and prevented Georgia from making a run after the Lady Bulldogs got down by 17 early in the second half."We usually do fight back," said Georgia point guard Ashley Houts, who was only 1-of-6 from the field for eight points. "We've fought back two or three times this season and come back to win. We just got in too big of a hole."The Lady Bulldogs became the highest-ranked team to lose to Xavier since the Musketeers beat No. 3 Tennessee in a regional semifinal of the 2001 NCAA tournament."I hope it shows our players how good we can be if we've got the right energy on a daily basis," coach Kevin McGuff said. "We've been inconsistent."It was one of those losses that will stick with Georgia for a while.Landers has harped on a hard-nosed approach all season, looking to get Georgia back to the Final Four for the first time since 1999. In the opening minutes of the second half, he got that sickening feeling.Simply put, Xavier was tougher."At some points, we fought back," said Tasha Humphrey, who led Georgia with 24 points. "But we didn't do it consistently."Phillips took the ball inside and helped Xavier take control. She had a pair of up-close baskets and two free throws in a 14-3 spurt that pushed the lead to 43-26 early in the second half. Georgia missed five straight shots and had five turnovers during that stretch."She's 6-foot-6 and 240 [pounds]," Humphrey said. "There's not a whole lot we can do about that."Georgia never got closer than 10 points the rest of the way.There were four ties and a pair of lead changes in the first 12 minutes, with neither team able to build more than a three-point lead. Harris then led Xavier on the game-changing run.The 6-foot-5 forward is the star of Xavier's young lineup -- the Musketeers start three sophomores and a freshman. She scored twice in the final minute of the first half, including a 22-foot shot from the top of the key that put the Musketeers up 29-21. It matched Georgia's biggest halftime deficit of the season."We knew coming in they were going to be aggressive, but we thought we could hit them back and be as strong as them and come out as winners," Harris said.Harris also had a hand in the Musketeers' front-line defense, which forced the Lady Bulldogs to take tough shots inside. Georgia opened the game only 4-of-13 from the field, including a pair of in-traffic shots that deflected off the bottom of the backboard.By that time, Landers was so upset that his face was starting to match the red towel slung over his left shoulder. He didn't like much of what he saw to start the second half, either, when Xavier went inside and took control."It's a new start," Harris said. "It's a good win. It puts our name out there."

ladys bedstraw won't flower
I got my mature sized plants in a trade and that was two years ago. They still haven't flowered! I have it in full sun so it won't focus on vegatative growth.
And does it only scent when it's in flower?
I have never noticed any scent really. It's a WEED here... and I'd be so HAPPY if it wouldn't flower... it makes burrs that are hard to get out of my cat's fur. I maybe wrong, but I thought the scent came from the herb when dried and then crushed?
Maybe you are watering it too much. It can survive in dry Sacramento without any water at all during the summer. And frequently, lack of flowering is from overwatering. UNFORTUNATELY! It's very hard for me to think of a plant as an herb when it's SUCH A HUGE PAIN IN THE HEINIE. :o)
okay... I googled bedstraw weed in Sacramento.... got varying galium's but not odora, so you seem to be right on that one! :o) Hmmmm... I googled it, and galium odora is sweet woodruff... hence my mistake. HOKAY...that's a different matter! I couldn't get my woodruff to bloom either. I thought it was because I didn't give mine enough sun, and sweet woodruff needs a LOT of water... or a lot of water here in Sacramento... and this site says yes, the scent comes with wilting and drying... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodruff
Well, there's my answer. I need to move it to moist shade. But it was doing so incredibly well in the sun, it was so green and happy looking. Weird how it didn't burn.
Just to be sure I understand, the scent doesn't come from when it flowers, but from the plant itself, when it wilts and dries?
okay... I reread that particular site... it is scented when flowering, I guess, but it INCREASES when wilted and dried... I don't have my woodruff anymore so I can't go out and do an experiment to see if it is scented without flowers.
Can you move it to Partial shade? I am thinking that in your zone, unlike mine, it can tolerate more sun. I think that I didn't get flowers due to how dry it is here and I didn't water it enough and it didn't get enough sun... even though later on, I planted hydrophyllic plants with it, but they would have blocked more sun.

Debutant Salam Bappu's Red Wine is a toast to friendship.
The late afternoon sun is streaming in through the canopy of trees in front of a beachside hospital in Kozhikode. A pall of gloom has descended on the place. The camera hovers overhead, panning along the leaves until it focusses on the exit of the hospital's mortuary. Mohanlal stands with his arms resting on a jeep as Saiju Kurup peers intently at him. Beside them stands a teary-eyed Anusree. The set is crowded with police jeeps, vans, ambulances and a crowd that has gathered on hearing the news of a death.
"Today we are shooting one of the key scenes of the film. This comes just after the death of an important character," says director Salam Bappu on the sets of his debut venture, Red Wine.
The title can mislead one into thinking that the film is in some way connected with drinking, much like the recent Mohanlal hit Spirit. But Salam is quick to dismiss any such thoughts.
"Red Wine deals with friendship that grows stronger as years pass by. That is one reason for the title. The other reason cannot be revealed now, as it is this suspense that the movie is based on," he says.
The movie chronicles the life of two strangers – Anoop, a theatre artiste (Fahadh Faasil) and Ramesan, an automobile sales executive (Asif Ali). The narrative goes forward through the 'quest' of Ratheesh Vasudevan (Mohanlal). But Salam is reluctant to reveal more on this quest or about Mohanlal's character, as these contain plot spoilers.
Navas (Saiju Kurup) and his wife, Sree Lekshmi, (Anusree) are Anoop's classmates from his engineering days. The trio's friendship goes on a parallel track to the main narrative. The other main actors are Meghna Raj and Meera Nandan.
Salam has pulled off a casting coup of sorts, this being the first time that Mohanlal shares screen space with two of the most promising stars among the young crop, Fahadh and Asif .
"I had narrated two scripts to Fahadh. We started planning the first one, but it got delayed and so he suggested that we go ahead with this. We then zeroed in on Asif, who liked the story. We were confused on whom to approach to handle the key character of Ratheesh. Mohanlal did not cross my mind at first because I knew that it would be too big a dream for someone working on his first film. But, somehow, luckily, we got him to play that key role," says Salam.
After 11 years of being in the industry as an assistant director to Lal Jose and many other directors, Salam is 'excited about making his own film'.
"Since I have had experience on the sets, there were no jittery moments when things started rolling. Many of the unfavourable situations during the shoot went through fine as I have already handled such similar situations in many other films," he says.
Also making his debut in films is script-writer Mammen K. Rajan, who has assisted Ranjith Sankar in all of his films.
Says Rajan: "Prior to this, I had scripted few tele-films. Scripting this film was like an extension of that experience. It helps that I know Salam for a long time now."
The film will have three songs penned by Rafeeq Ahamed and set to tune by Bijibal. Cinematography is by Manoj Pillai. Stills are by Mahadevan Thampi. The film, produced by Gireesh Lal under the banner Gowri Meenakshi Movies, will reach theatres in mid-2013.
Keywords: Red Wine film, Mohan Lal, director Salam Bappu

Juicy Couture USB Stick Keychain: Love It or Leave It?
I don't always love all the Juicy Couture things I see (the Pink Mouse and Mousepad Set, or the Velour Laptop Sleeve, anyone?), but I do appreciate that they make a valid effort to make tech accessories and peripherals.
This USB Stick Keychain is arguably the Juiciest, brand-wise, considering the heart shape, pink color, and ubiquitous "Choose Juicy" message. But I have to give it to them — this is something I would carry around, since I'm always concerned about losing (or having to root around in my bag for) the flash drive I try to keep on me. Being on a keychain would eliminate that problem, and the overtly girliness of it doesn't completely deter me because of its usefulness.
However, it is only 1GB and not exactly market price — $65 — for a flash drive that size. I'm not sure I'd buy it, but I'd enjoy it if I had it.

Yankees starter Andy Pettitte was solid early in the game against the Tigers, but Detroit got to him in the sixth inning. / DIANE WEISS/Detroit Free Press
NEW YORK CITY Andy Pettitte looked like his old self for the first five innings on Saturday.
The Tigers scored two runs off the 40-year-old Pettitte in the sixth inning.
Pettitte allowed seven hits and three walks in 6 2/3 innings with five strikeouts. He threw 107 pitches, 71 for strikes.
The Yankees trailed 4-0 before tying the game in the bottom of the ninth.
The Tigers came back to take Game 1 of the American League Championship Series with a 6-4 win in 12 innings at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees lost more than the game. Derek Jeter suffered a fractured left ankle in the 12th inning.
For him to stay down, it was a pretty safe bet hes pretty hurt, Pettitte said of Jeter. Its terrible. We got a series we gotta play. Somebody will have to step in and fill that spot, you know.
Pettitte had not faced the Tigers since April 2008 at old Yankee Stadium before taking the mound on Saturday night and scattering four hits over the first five innings.
Austin Jackson, one of seven Tigers hitters to never previously face Pettitte before Saturday, tripled in the sixth. Jackson hit a ball that curled fair past the bag down the first base line. As the Yankees scrabbled to go after the ball, Jackson motored around the base paths.
After Pettitte intentionally walked Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder hit an RBI single. Delmon Young, who came into the game hitting a team-high .579 (11-for-19) against Pettitte, followed an RBI single.
I felt good tonight, Pettitte said. Wish I could have shut them down.
Pettitte said because the game went long, he was able to review video f the pitches he made in the sixth.
I didnt know if my pitches were where I wanted if I had too much plate, Pettitte said. Im usally critical of myself but the pitches I threw, the three base hits they got, Jackson, Delmon Young and Fielder were all pitches right where I wanted to throw them.
Pettitte credited Tigers starter Doug Fister with getting out of a bases loaded jams twice early in the game without giving up any runs.
Young would continue to torment the Yankees in the postseason by hitting a solo home run in the eighth to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead.
Pettitte eventually exited with two outs in the top of the seventh, replaced by Derek Lowe (Dearborn Edsel Ford).
Lowe came in and struck out Cabrera for the final out of the inning. Lowe spoke Friday about the importance of getting guys out ahead of Fielder and Cabrera.
Pettittes failure to do that against Jackson proved costly.
I know when we faced them, Austin Jackson is a guy you want to keep off the bases, Lowe said on Friday, after the Yankees advanced to the ALCS with a Game 5 win over the Orioles in the AL Division Series.
Pettitte was needed in Game 1 because C.C. Sabathia, who made the last seven starts for the Yankees in Game 1 playoff games, had pitched in the decisive win over the Orioles.
Pettitte made his 44th career postseason start and was starting for the seventh time in Game 1 of a playoff series. He was 5-4 in the regular season for the Yankees with 69 strikeouts in 75 1/3 innings.

Review | Dates to Watch For | Follow-Up | U.S. Economic Calendar | Consensus Estimates | Coming Earnings | Coming U.S. Auctions
With a hint of spring in the air and the venerable Masters Tournament right around the corner, this is the time of year when lesser golfers like to dream big, about tee shots flying a lot longer and straighter, and tricky 30-foot putts dropping with that pleasing sound into the center of the cup.
The golf industry has more spring in its step, too, but it's hardly a dream. That's because in 2012, the number of rounds played in the U.S. rose 5.7%, reversing a decade of mostly declining participation on the links. About 490 million rounds, or roughly 8.8 billion holes of golf, were played in the U.S. last year. "What's significant is, if you go back the previous 10 years, we had lost 55 million rounds played," says Steve Mona, chief executive of the World Golf Foundation.
Upswing: In 2012, the number of rounds played in the U.S. increased 5.7%, reversing a decade-long downtrend. William Waitzman for Barron's
Some may quibble that 2012 had an especially mild winter in the Northeast and Midwest, allowing golfers to tee it up earlier in the year than usual. Nevertheless, the uptick in rounds played, which measures golf activity on public courses, is encouraging for the industry. Mona attributes it to various factors, including an improving economy and the strong comeback of Tiger Woods on the PGA Tour.
Common excuses cited for avoiding golf include the time commitment for playing 18 holes, along with the expense. But excluding the cost of a golf cart, the median price of a round at a public course is $28, says Mona: "That's a pretty good value."
Now if all those duffers could only find the time.

Six years had passed with Chiaki having to release her guardians thanks to the appearance of Karuma Seeds in other parts of the world.
With the appearance of Karuma Seeds in other parts of the world, Chiaki and her guardians had been fighting side by side for six long years. They had been forced to travel a lot through Japan and sometimes even the government of the bigger countries summoned them when they were having problems dealing with the creatures that sometimes appeared to haunt their civilization. Those six years had been the most trying for her to say the least. She had always been a town girl and all the traveling didn't really suit her or her guardians, especially a little one in particular. All Zenki ever did whenever they were moving back and forth was complain.

"Oh, Sakura! Let's go in here!" Ino said excitedly as she pointed to a store that had a sale sign. Ino insisted on me coming with her to go shopping. She looked like a model compared to me, her hair cascaded down her back, and it flowed behind her as she walked, a lacy V-neck blouse, dark skinny jeans, and high, heel boots also complimented her model look. I, on the other hand, wore a teal, scoop-neck, long sleeve shirt, my favorite worn out blue jeans, converse and I let my hair down and but put a white ribbon in it.
"OK." I said. Ino practically skipped into the store with all of her bags swinging along. Clutching onto my purse I walked in the door.
The music played very loud, like most stores do, and Ino was out of sight. She was most likely flirting with an attractive worker or something. A display of scarves caught my eye, so I walked over to take a better look. They all felt so soft and looked very stylish. I picked up an orange, plaid scarf and held it i

A flicker of chakra; attempted to be masked. He recognised it as Narutos. So hes still untalented as ever He thought before getting up. He stood there for a moment, debating. Should I go meet them let them find me or get away so it doesnt cause trouble? Everyone else is basically gone except for the snake and Kabuto.
Coming to his decision, he ran out of his room and fled; getting away from all of the problems it would cause if they had seen each other. Orochimaru and Kabuto seemed to be waiting on his decision, for not moments after he got out of the hideout; they were beside him, smirking as the hideout exploded.

Annual Lake Seminole Festival
Apr 4, 2015 10:00 AM
Spring Creek Park Resort on beautiful Lake Seminole!
To benefit the Seminole County Middle/High School Band!
This event has something for everyone! We have a fun filled day planned, packed with plenty of great things for everyone to enjoy, starting with the Grand Panfish Tournament registration at 6 am. By 10 am there will be vendors open with assorted foods, arts, crafts, jewelry, glassware, school spirit and other gift items. There will be pony rides, carnival style games with prizes, full face painting, inflatables, obstacle courses and Home Depot will be there with the popular Kids Build-it Booth. Don't miss the awesome raffle items and door prizes, donated by local merchants that will be given throughout the day.
Back by popular demand, will be the Blind Canoe Race! This is a team event that is as much fun to watch as it is for the participants. Two-person teams will start from the shoreline and paddle into the bay, navigate around a buoy and race back to the shoreline in an effort to win! Yep, there is a catch. The team member paddling will be blindfolded while their teammate talks them through the course. Teams may register online or the day of the event for only $5 per team and winners will receive trophies and bragging rights for their efforts.
No festival would be complete without entertainment, so we have lined up a full day of fantastic performers! Entertainment begins at 10 am with performances approximately every half hour. Our very own Green Machine Ensemble Bands will perform and there will be a multitude of other entertainers.
Don't forget the progressive 50/50 Raffle that will be drawn at 4 pm., last year's winner took home over $3000 for a mere $5 ticket. Band members and Boosters are now selling the tickets for $5 each or 5 tickets for only $20. Be sure to get your tickets and be in the running for a huge cash prize based on ticket sales!
All proceeds from this event, fishing tournaments, sponsors, vendor fees, Blind Canoe Race and raffle ticket sales, will benefit the Seminole County Middle/High School Band. There is still time to sign up and be a vendor, entertainer or cash or prize sponsor.

*** ВНИМАНИЕ! Твиттер, название цитатника и быстрая отписка доступны по лонгтапу по цитате! ***
Особенные уникальности:
0. Поддержка картинок (xkcd, bash, что-то еще)
1. Цитаты обновляются через выделенный сервер обновлений, что
а) гораздо быстрее чем парсить HTML на устройстве
б) экономит трафик, сжимая его и не загружая повторно то что уже загружено
в) ВСЕ цитатники обновляются одним запросом, 1-2 секунды - и у вас уже 256 новых цитат!
2. Все цитаты образуют единую ленту, но при желании можно читать любой цитатник отдельно (надо нажать меню->источники)
3. Интеграция с твиттером (ну как без него) + все урлы жмутся через bit.ly, так что в один твит влезет больше полезного текста.
4. Куча настроек, на любой (ну, почти на любой ;) вкус
5. Читалка изначально заряжена 512-ю цитатами, так что даже в глуши без Интернета будет что почитать. (а при желании можно увеличить лимит до 4096 и целый месяц жить в глуши! :)
Не забудьте выбрать интересные вам цитатники в настройках!
