Trailer Park Boys: The Movie - Blu-ray Disc
Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Dec 8, 2009Booted from the hoosegow just days before the eagerly anticipated guards-versus-inmates ball hockey championship, Ricky (Rob Wells), Julian (John Paul Tremblay), and Bubbles (Mike Smith) hatch a plan to pull off the biggest heist of their criminal careers as Sunnyvale Trailer Park's most incompetent criminals make their way to the big screen. Christened "The Big Dirty," the trio's ambitious plan to steal large quantities of untraceable change soon hits a hitch when sidetracked Ricky prepares to make the ultimate commitment to longtime girlfriend Lucy and Julian crosses her new boss with disastrous results. It seems that in addition to having her bust size upgraded while the trio was incarcerated, Lucy also landed a job working at the nearby gentleman's club. When Julian goes to the club and falls for shapely dancer Wanda, temperamental proprietor Sonny quickly loses his cool. With the day of the Big Dirty fast approaching, the boys do their best to train hair-brained criminal assistants Cory and Trevor in the fine art of the heist. Of course, anyone who knows the Trailer Park Boys knows well that even their most foolproof plans have a way of springing a leak, and somewhere between the helicopter chase, the shoot-out, and the booze-soaked game of Sunnyvale Chicken waged against trailer park supervisor Mr. Lahey and his cheeseburger-chomping assistant, Randy, everything seems to just fall apart. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Lean on Me - DVD
Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Feb 2, 2010After earning rave notices for powerful supporting turns as a pimp in Street Smart (1987) and an alcohol abuse counselor in Clean and Sober (1988), actor Morgan Freeman began his ascent to stardom with this, his first lead role in a major motion picture. Freeman is real-life high school principal Joe Clark, a tough, harsh educator and administrator who in 1987 is given a nearly impossible task by his old friend, school superintendent Dr. Frank Napier (Robert Guillaume). Clark is asked to reform inner city Eastside High School in Paterson, NJ, a hotbed of delinquent kids and drug dealers. Considered the worst school in New Jersey, the state is threatening to take control of Eastside away from the local school board. If Clark can straighten out Eastside in time to get the school's basic-skills test scores up, he can have the job permanently. Although Clark's tyrannical approach and hard-line policies alienate many members of the staff and the community, his uncompromising campaign gets results and even makes him famous, much to the chagrin of his powerful enemies. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

NEW ORLEANS — Federal public defenders have been granted more time to work on the appeal for former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, who is serving a 10-year sentence for corruption.
Briefs in Nagin's appeal had been due Monday, but the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals pushed back the deadline to April 9.
The Federal Public Defender's office sought a delay. The office noted that its lawyers had not represented Nagin in his 2014 trial and were having to prepare an appeal in a complex case with limited access to Nagin by mail and telephone.
Federal prosecutors did not object to the delay, which was granted last week.
Public defenders were appointed to the case last year after Nagin's previous attorney, Robert Jenkins, said the former mayor was unable to pay him.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Gov. Nathan Deal has announced $19 million in education grants for programs meant to improve student performance.
The grants were given to nine partnerships that can combine local education officials, charters schools, businesses and nonprofits to create programs for students.
The winners of the grants include the Georgia Charters Schools Associations and the Lake Oconee Academy. That partnership sought money to develop programs to recruit and train teachers and leaders for charter schools.
Officials at the Georgia Leadership Institute for School Improvement and Paulding County schools sought funding for a similar effort focusing on securing good teachers for the public schools.

In-Line Near-Infrared Monitoring of Polymer Processing. Part I: Process/Monitor Interface Development
Volume 53, Number 11 (Nov. 1999) Page 1412-1418
Reshadat, Ramin; Desa, Stella; Joseph, Sibichen; Mehra, Mithilesh; Stoev, Nikolay; Balke, Stephen T.
Near-infrared in-line monitoring of polymer processing means using a fiber-optic-assisted spectrometer to obtain spectra of the polymer melt flowing through commonly used processing equipment (an extruder). Conditions in the extruder are typically 200 °C and 20 MPa. This paper shows the design of interfaces between the spectrometer and the molten polymer. Three designs are shown, each permitting monitoring at a different location in the process: a meltat-die interface, a melt-in-barrel interface, and a strand interface. These designs are for monitoring just before the extruder exit, in the main barrel of the extruder, and after the product exits from the extruder as a strand, respectively. All these interfaces protect the inserted fiber-optic probe from the harsh environment within the extruder while permitting easy replacement of a probe without interrupting the process. This latter characteristic is very important because it permits easy probe repair as well as the use of other types of probes (for monitoring color or particles, for example) to be used during a run. Examples of near-infrared spectra obtained with each of the interfaces used with an immiscible blend of polyethylene and polypropylene are shown. Large differences in the spectra demonstrate that the design of the interface will affect multivariate analysis directed at composition prediction. Subsequent papers are directed at using the melt-at-die interface for composition prediction and accounting for nonlinear relationships between absorbance and concentration.

Centre staff are active beyond the research work they undertake. Here are some of the speaking engagements that they are involved with, as well as events that we are supporting in some other way. Many of the events we run ourselves are smaller and therefore by invitation only, and so don't appear here.
Chaired by Sean Duggan, Chief Executive of the Centre for Mental Health, this conference focuses on measuring and monitoring quality in mental health including preparing for and learning from the new Care Quality Commission inspections in mental health.
The conference is particularly timely following the announcement of national access and waiting times for mental health. It is essential that the data and quality monitoring information is available at local level to enable organisations to deliver the parity of esteem that has been set down by government.
The conference will start with a focus on developing a shared understanding of quality in partnership with service users and the role service users can play in monitoring quality. The conference will continue to look at the CQC domains of quality services, learning from the CQC inspections to date and understanding how to demonstrate effectiveness in mental health services. The conference will include a national update on quality indicators from the Health and Social Care Information Centre and will demonstrate how you can use quality dashboards at a local level to measure and monitor quality within your service.
For further information and to book your place visit http://www.healthcareconferencesuk.co.uk/quality-mental-health-cqc-inspection-cpd or email email@example.com. A 20% discount is available by quoting ref: hcuk20cfmh when booking.
Our National Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Conference provides vital insights at a pivotal time for the IAPT programme. As we reach the March 2015 deadline for access and recovery targets, this conference unites leading experts and practitioners to review the challenges and successes of the programme.
Gain actionable strategies into the expansion of IAPT to new areas including severe mental illness (SMI), learn how services are successfully meeting recovery and access targets, and developing their workforces and adopting new technologies to increase access to therapy.
Key topics covered include:
Andy Bell, our Deputy Chief Executive, is chairing this conference.

People facing multiple needs experience homelessness, substance misuse, mental health problems and contact with the criminal justice system.
Across the country a growing network of service providers, commissioners and policy makers are working together across sectors to find new ways to support these individuals.
Join this vibrant network on 22 April 2015 as it gathers in London for the National Multiple Needs Summit. Tickets are just £50; book your space now to avoid disappointment: www.homeless.org.uk/events/multiple-needs
This event has been jointly organised by Big Lottery Fund, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, John Ellerman Foundation, LankellyChase Foundation and Making Every Adult Matter, a coalition of Clinks, DrugScope, Homeless Link and Mind.
Recognising the complexity of implementing an evidence-based practice, we are offering a range of training and development course to help services deliver evidence-based supported employment.

Rental home has roses...need ID and assistance with care
We moved into a rental home first weekend of August. The owner does not know anything about the flower beds or roses other than her mother planted them some time ago.
They were blooming first of August and still are. I think there are two bushes planted in one spot. I didn't pay much attention while getting settled in so maybe one bloomed then the other or maybe they are both blooming for a long time? I also think there are weeds underneath but not sure. There are brown and yellow spots on some of the leaves (but not all). Some of the stems are 2-3 ft tall and old, brown dry (dead?) with no blooms while others are thick and green and about 4-5 foot tall, large enough around that I couldn't put my arms around it if I wanted to (too many thorns).
On the other side of the porch is yet another, no shrub there, just two long stems lying on the ground. Don't see a base of any sort but again, I think there are weeds all around. This might be a climber that needs a trellis? Haven't seen any blooms on it that I can remember.
Pics I had to take with my cell phone as the new computer is incompatible with the older digital camera so the quality isn't the greatest but at least a starting point.
Here is a link that might be useful: rental home roses

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Tories act out of spite in pot spat with cops
It appears the cold war between Canada's police chiefs and the Tory federal government has not entirely thawed.
On Tuesday, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police made headlines at their annual conference in Winnipeg by adopting a proposal to punish simple possession of marijuana with a citation as opposed to a criminal charge.
The chiefs noted nearly half of all drug charges involve individuals with 30 grams or less of pot. Although the chiefs expressly rejected the idea of legalization or decriminalization, they argued punishing simple possession with the equivalent of a speeding ticket would allow police to reallocate resources to more serious crimes.
With its proposal, the CACP falls significantly short of community standards on this important issue; a healthy majority of Canadians already support some form of decriminalization, if not outright legalization. And yet, there is value in the CACP proposal.
The CACP has come up with a proposal that does not require any seismic changes to drug laws. It would clearly free police, and the justice system, from having to spend valuable time dealing with something most people agree is a very minor offence. It does not legalize pot, but does establish a platform from which a debate about legalization can more effectively take place.
There must have been disappointment when Justice Minister Peter MacKay, who was in Winnipeg the same day, issued a terse reaction to the CACP proposal: "These drugs are illegal because of the harmful effects they have on users -- and society for that matter," MacKay said in an email to The Canadian Press. "As a government, we have a responsibility to protect the interests of families across this country."
What stands out in MacKay's response is his failure to respond to the key element in the CACP proposal. Namely, that pot remains illegal but that simple possession be treated less harshly.
CACP officials would not publicly admit to any disappointment, saying they would rather give MacKay more time before concluding he is as uninterested in the proposal as he seemed to be this week.
It's good at times like this to remember police chiefs are equal parts cop and politician. And that it doesn't make any political sense to start a scrap with MacKay right out of the gate. Even so, this is yet another tidbit of evidence about the chiefs' estrangement from the tough-on-crime Conservative government.
Relations have been a bit rocky between the chiefs and the Tories following a well-publicized disagreement about the value of the now-abandoned long-gun registry. The chiefs liked the registry, and lobbied the Tories to keep it intact. The Tories were deeply committed to killing it, if for no other reason than keeping a long-standing promise to the bedrock supporters of the Conservative party, for whom the registry was an assault on their basic freedoms. The conflict caused tempers to flare on both sides.
The low-point in this cold war came at 2011 House of Commons committee hearings into the bill that would ultimately scrap the long-gun registry. Not only did Tory MPs not yield to a plea to keep the registry, they went on the offensive, accusing the CACP of misleading Canadians on the amount of law enforcement support for the registry.
The fallout from this conflict would become apparent a year later when the Tories struck a firearms advisory committee and excluded both the CACP and the Canadian Police Association, which had also supported the registry.
Since then, it's unclear whether there has been a mending of fences between the Tories and the chiefs. The CACP has been a vocal defender of other Tory crime legislation, and yet the response to the marijuana proposal suggests relations between the two are still frigid.
This is a federal government that demands its allies offer unwavering support of all policies. As was seen with the gun registry, even those groups that support most but not all of what the Conservative government has done, can lose traction very quickly indeed.
However, in this instance, the Tories appear to be acting out of spite. Canada's police chiefs are a valuable resource. No one can argue they do not have the credibility to discuss the consequences of federal laws and policies on the front line of the war on crime. The chiefs stand vigil over that line, each and every day, and should have the government's ear based on that fact alone.
The CACP should not have undue influence on government policy; they are, in fact, just one voice in the national debate over crime and punishment. However, the idea the chiefs could lose credibility in Ottawa based on a single issue is troubling to say the least.
Reducing penalties for simple possession of marijuana is not perhaps the complete solution to Canada's muddled drug laws. However, it's an idea that deserves more attention than the federal Tories seem willing to give it now.

The EU's accounts have been certified as accurate by the Court of Auditors for the fifth year in a row. Those accounts show that over 96% of EU spending was executed without any errors with direct or indirect financial impact.
The vast majority of the 3.9% of payments affected by errors concerned the 80% of EU funds co-managed by the Member States. Most of the mistakes occurred at national level rather than in Brussels.
This does not mean that the whole 3.9% of EU expenditure concerned was wrongly spent and errors do not mean fraud, which itself affects around 0.2% of the EU budget and always triggers tough legal and recovery measures.
When the Court of Auditors refers to an error rate, it means that an EU-funded activity did not fully meet all of the very detailed rules that it should have done. It does not mean the activity was not a success or that it did not as a whole represent value for taxpayers' money. Where errors do occur, solid mechanisms are in place to detect and correct them.
"Over the past few years, the Commission has delivered on its promise to ensure high quality management and control of EU funds. Our work is by no means finished, but now it is time for our partners to step up their game too," said Algirdas Šemeta, Commissioner for Taxation, Customs, Audit and Anti-fraud. "Member States can do this through two simple steps. First, they can endorse the simpler rules proposed by the Commission for the new programming period. Simpler rules are easier to respect and easier to control, and could help to drastically reduce the number of mistakes in EU spending. Secondly, I repeat my call for Member States to take their responsibilities more seriously when it comes to their role in protecting EU taxpayers' money. A little more effort by Member States to control projects properly and retrieve misused funds could go a long way, particularly in this time of economic difficulty."
What does the Court of Auditors mean by "an error"?
The definition of an error is very wide and many instances errors classified and quantified in the scrutiny of EU accounts would not be identified as errors in similar exercises scrutinising national accounts.
To be counted, an error must have a direct or indirect financial impact. But it does not mean that there was fraud or that the overall cost-effectiveness of a project was seriously compromised.
To give three examples:
- people not employed in the electronics sector participated at a training course organised by an EU funded project specifically for that sector;
- a company was contracted to maintain an IT system, which it had previously installed. This was done without publication of a contract notice (which is allowed, if justified). The Court classified the case as a 100% error because an appropriate justification had not been provided;
- in a small number of tendering procedures, errors were made. Such errors are a serious matter and the Commission is deeply committed to applying procedures correctly itself and to using all reasonable means to ensure that all those managing EU funds do the same. But the fact that there were errors in the application of a tendering procedure for, say, a bridge construction project does not mean that there was fraud, that the wrong company got the contract or that the new bridge should be dismantled or that it is of poor quality.
What is the Commission doing to iron out these errors?
The target is to reduce the error rate to below 2%. This means further reinforcing the effectiveness of the Commission's own controls, stepping up pressure on the Member States to improve theirs and simplifying the rules themselves to make them easier for beneficiaries of EU funding to follow.
The new EU Financial Regulation, proposed by the Commission and adopted by the Member States and the European Parliament on 25 October 2012, already contains substantial simplification measures, as well as provisions to improve controls on EU funds at every level.
The Commission's proposals for the next generation of funding programmes (2014-2020), which are currently being discussed by Council and Parliament, include a host of new measures to further improve the management of EU funds. These include stricter corrective measures if Member States fail to address irregularities on time; a new system for monitoring progress in achieving set targets; and a requirement for national management authorities to sign a statement of assurance on their accounts.

We just need the cold already! I do have to put in a plug for Minnie and Friends. You do truly see some of the characters that you do not see any place else. Nathan got to dance with Minnie on our last trip. It was so sweet! Fairy Godmother was a hoot. Captain Hook. And it is so pretty in there. I thought the food was good too. I almost hate to take away park time for the long character meals, but they are so much an experience in themselves that I always think it was worth it. We are doing Minnie and Friends on Saturday at 10 for breakfast, but since I got free vouchers to cover that meal, we have decided to add on Goofy's for dinner on Friday night for the boys birthday celebration. We will order a special gluton free birthday cake for them to be delivered as well, and this is the only place that we can do that. Otherwise we can do the individual Pirate birthday treasure. Hmmm.... decisions, decisions. So, I say go for it, but you probably figured out my opinion already, huh? I am not in the duldroms, but rather in the panic stage. What have I forgotten or not planned correctly??

Guy Sidora—Bainbridge Island's 'pied piper'—connects with kids through movement and art
- Feb 17, 2010 at 8:12AM
Give a kid a whistle, and you might never again have a moment's peace. Give a kid a whistle in one of Guy Sidora's movement classes, and that kid might take that whistle and turn it into an art. Sidora, known to many on Bainbridge as the Island's Pied Piper, doesn't often have to introduce himself nowadays. He's worked with kids (and adults) throughout the Island's art community, at Bainbridge Performing Arts, as both a thespian and instructor, and with the Island Theatre, Bainbridge Ballet, Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra, the Island parks district and most area schools.

A sealable container includes a pleated bag with a stiffener member attached adjacent but spaced from its mouth so that items may be placed in the bag, the pleats folded to close it, and the upper portion folded over the stiffener to seal it. A back is drawn about the folded upper portion and connected to the stiffener to seal the bag. The stiffener also provides a handle for carrying.
1. A sealable container comprising a bag having generally flat front and back panels and first and second pleated sides joining said front and back panels together and cooperating therewith to define an open mouth; an elongated stiffener member attached to said front panel and spaced from said mouth beneath a foldable upper portion of said bag and defining first and second extensions extending laterally beyond said front panel, each extension defining a slot; a flexible band extending about said back panel and said pleated sides and having its ends extending through said slots of said band extensions; and lock means for securing said band to said stiffener member; whereby said pleats may be folded to close the mouth of said bag, said upper foldable portion may be folded over said stiffener member to seal said bag, and the free ends of said band may be drawn around the folded portion of said bag and attached to said lock means to secure said bag.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a handle attached to said stiffener means.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the upper portion of said front panel of said bag is folded over said stiffener means and secured to said front panel to hold said stiffener means, the folded portion defining a die-cut tab extending within said handle and secured to said lock means.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said back panel is also die-cut to define a tab for receiving said handle when the upper portion thereof is folded over said stiffener means, said tab extending beneath said handle and secured to said lock means for sealing said bag.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said lock means comprises a beaded stud projecting laterally of said stiffener means.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a foldable security seal adapted to be attached to said lock means before said band is drawn, and adapted to be sealed to itself after said band is drawn and connected to said lock means, thereby to prevent re-entry into the secured bag without breaching said security seal.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said front panel defines a loose foldable flap at the upper edge thereof, said flap defining a curved die-cut portion to provide a tab, the ends of the die-cut portion defining openings; a handle on said stiffener means and adapted to be received in the openings of said die-cut portion of said flap, the tab of said flap extending through said handle and secured to said lock means; the distal edge of said flap being secured to said front panel beneath said stiffener means.
The present invention relates to an inexpensive, yet sturdy container that may be used several times before discarding. Such containers are particularly suited for use by travelers or the like or by more expensive gift shops where the size of the container chosen depends upon the particular item being carried.
As such, the invention represents an improvement over the device disclosed in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,268,151 entitled "Bag Closure" which disclosed a flexible bag adapted to have its mouth folded and doubled through a flexible tubular closure having two separate passages arranged side-by-side. A first folded portion of the bag was positioned in one passage of the closure and the second folded portion was positioned in the other passage; and a fastener was extended through both folded portions and the tubular closure to hold the bag in a sealed condition. Thus, the closure member was a separate element, not ordinarily attached to the bag except for sealing.
In the present invention, a sealable container includes a bag having flat front and back panels and first and second pleated sides joined to the front and back panels. An elongated stiffener member is attached to the front panel a short distance beneath the mouth of the bag. The stiffener is preferably attached by folding the upper portion of the front panel over the stiffener member and attaching it to itself along a glue line, if thermoplastic materials are used, by heat sealing.
The stiffener member is provided with a handle which extends through a die-cut in the folded portion. The stiffener member is long enough to extend beyond the front panel of the bag, and thereby defines first and second slotted extensions. The stiffener member is also provided with a stud or protrusion with an enlarged head or button.
A flexible band or belt extends about the back panel and pleated sides of the bag and has ends fitted through the slots on the band extensions.
Thus, the bag may be held by the handle while inserting items into it; and the stiffener member acts to keep the bag supported and the mouth generally formed to facilitate insertion of items. Further, the band is dimensioned to permit the bag of the mouth to be fully opened, yet to restrain further opening of the bag which might cause tearing.
When items have been inserted into the bag, the pleated sides are folded to close the mouth of the bag, and the upper portion of the bag above the stiffener is folded over the stiffener member to seal the bag. The free ends of the band are then drawn around the folded portion of the bag and attached to the beaded stud on the stiffener to secure the bag. If it is desired, a slip of paper may be secured to the beaded stud prior to securing the free ends of the band, and after the free ends of the band are then secured to the beaded stud, the upper end of the paper may be sealed to itself, thereby enveloping the locked ends of the band and providing a seal which must be destroyed before the bag is re-opened. The seal may be replaced during subsequent usage.
The present invention thus provides an inexpensive, resealable container that may be used several times before discarding. The same basic construction is amenable to the use of several different types of material, such as heavy kraft paper, wax-coated paper, thin plastic or heavy-duty plastic, depending upon the desires of the manufacturer and the desired level of retail cost. The container, when sealed, is weatherproof to protect the contents against dust or rain. The container has many uses such as a sealed traveler's bag, (a broken seal indicating unauthorized entry), a shopping bag, a gift container, or, if insulating materials are used, an insulated, sealed container for hot foods or the like. Another advantage of the present invention is that where it assumes a generally flat, low-volume position when not in use, it has a relatively large capacity when used to carry items. As indicated, depending upon the materials which are used, its ability to withstand wear and tearing is limited only by the materials which a manufacturer desires to incorporate into the container.
Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to persons skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment accompanied by the attached drawing wherein identical reference numerals will refer to like parts in the various views.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a folded bag prior to incorporation into the present invention;
FIGS. 2-5 are fragmentary upper perspective views of the upper portion of the container illustrating the attachment of the stiffener member thereto;
FIGS. 6-9 are upper perspective views of the assembled container showing closing, sealing and securing in the use position; and
FIG. 10 is an elevational view of a seal which may be used to detect unauthorized entry into the container.
Referring first to FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 generally designates a flexible bag having generally flat front and back panels 11 and 12, together with first and second pleated sides 13 (see FIG. 2) and 14, and a bottom 15 formed by heat sealing the front and back panels together. This construction provides a flat bottom when the bag is filled. The bag is closed except for an open top generally designated 16. The upper portion of the front panel 11 (that is, the portion above the dashed line 17) is designated 18, and it forms a foldable portion since its edges are not secured to the associated portions of the pleated sides 13, 14, as best illustrated in FIG. 2. A die-cut 19 of semi-circular shape is formed in the flap 18, and the lower portions of the die-cut are formed into round apertures to prevent further tearing. The die-cut 19 forms a tab 20, at the center of which there is provided an aperture 21, the function of which will be further discussed presently.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a similar semi-circular die-cut 24 is formed on the back panel 12 in register with the die-cut 19 to define a tab 25 which is apertured at 26.
A stiffener member generally designated 30 is in the form of an elongated, generally flat element; and it includes a handle 31 which may be riveted or otherwise attached to the stiffener element 30. The length of the stiffener element 30 is such as to extend beyond both edges of the front panel 11 of the bag, thereby defining first and second extensions 33, 34. These extensions are slotted respectively at 35, 36, which slots are also located beyond the edges of the front panel 11. At the center of the stiffener member 30 there is a stud 38 having a rounded head or bead which is adapted to fit through the apertures 21, 26 in a manner to be disclosed presently.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, a flexible band or belt generally designated 40 extends around the mouth 16 of the bag, and in cooperation with the stiffener member 30 completely encompasses the mouth of the bag. The free ends of the band 40 are fitted through the slots 35, 36 in the extensions of the stiffener member. Each end of the band 40 is provided with protrusions 41 which retain the ends of the band in the slots and prevent their accidental withdrawal. Further, the ends of the band are apertured at 43 and 44 respectively.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, the stiffener member 30 is assembled to the bag by inserting it in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 2 so that the handle 31 extends through the die-cut 19 in the flap 18. The lower ends of the handle 31 are thus received in the circular apertures at the lower ends of the die-cut 19, as best seen in FIG. 3; and the flap 18 is folded over the stiffener member. The flap 18 is long enough to extend beneath the stiffener member, and it is secured to the front panel 11 by gluing along the marginal edge as at 45 in FIG. 3. The aperture 21 of the tab 20 is then fitted over the beaded stud 38 on the stiffener member. Thus, the stiffener member 30 is attached to the front panel of the bag and spaced from its mouth beneath a foldable upper portion of the bag comprising the upper portions of the pleats 13, 14 and the rear panel 12.
As best illustrated in FIG. 5, in order to place items in the container, it may be held by the handle 31 so that the stiffener member 30 acts to stiffen the upper portion of the front panel 11 and thereby hold the mouth of the bag opened while the band 40 may be sized to limit the extent of the opening and thereby prevent tearing of the bag. As will be better understood from a complete description of the invention, the stiffener element 30 further acts to completely stiffen the top of the bag after it is sealed and secured, for transporting or carrying the container, and this facilitates carrying heavier items.
Referring now to FIG. 6, after the contents are placed in the container, the upper foldable portion of the bag just described is folded over the top of the stiffener member 30, as at 50 in FIG. 6, with the handle 11 extending through the die-cut 24, and the tab 25 on the back panel 12 placed beneath the handle 11 and over the beaded stud 38. Thus, the container is closed.
If it is desired to place a seal on the container, a seal such as a piece of paper shown at 55 in FIG. 10 with an aperture 57 may be used. One marginal edge of the seal 55 is provided with an adhesive as at 58, adapted to be placed adjacent and secured to the opposing marginal edge 59 when the seal 55 is folded along the dashed line A-B. The seal 55 is placed over the beaded stud 38 by means of the aperture 57 so that the glue line 58 extends above the stiffener member 30.
Next, the band 40 is drawn about the folded upper portion of the bag and both ends of the band 40 are attached to the weld stud 38 by means of the apertures 43, 44, as seen in FIG. 8. This seals the container after it is closed. Finally, the security seal 55 is folded and glued together as seen in FIG. 9 so that the bag cannot be opened without breaking the security seal and thereby render the unauthorized opening easily detectable. In this position, the handle 31 is readily accessible, there are no loose ends in the container, and it is completely closed, sealed and secured. As indicated, a wide range of materials may be used for the various elements disclosed, depending upon the intended use.
Having thus disclosed in detail a preferred embodiment of the invention, persons skilled in the art will be able to modify certain of the structure which has been illustrated, or to substitute equivalent elements for those disclosed while continuing to practice the principle of the invention, and it is therefore, intended, that all such modifications and substitutions be covered as they are embraced within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

we stayed in Hotel Tritone for 2 nights. the location was directly facing the train station which is perfect for going to Venice (10 minute ride at 1.20 Euros/person). the lobby is big and nicely decorated. they offer free beverages (different types of coffee and tea) and croissants all day. free wifi is included and they have a business center in the lobby. the room was nice and large. the bathroom was also large. we had a small terrace with our room which was nice if we did not want to go out at night. the staff are very friendly and they helped us in every way possible. breakfast was delicious. there was a wide variety to choose from. if i go to Italy again, my first choice would be Hotel Tritone.
