This a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/207,091, filed Dec. 7, 1998, and entitled "Easy Open Industrial Bag."
The invention relates generally to industrial bags and, more particularly, the invention relates to an easy-open industrial bag and tabs for use therewith.
Industrial bags, often made from multi-ply kraft paper, synthetic sheets, and combinations thereof, are closed in numerous ways. A common closure is referred to as a pinch bottom where a flap of one wall of the bag is folded over and glued, sewn or otherwise secured to another wall of the bag. The pinch bottom closure is commonly used in gusseted bags and flat tube bags.
Once closed it becomes necessary at some point to open the bag. In bags that were sewn shut, it is possible to open the bag by undoing the stitching. Sewing generally requires substantial additional processing equipment and processing expense, and thus is no longer a preferred closure method. Providing a glued closure for a pinch bottom bag provides for an easily automated process that is inexpensive and yields a secure sift resistant closure. However, glued closures are difficult to open without cutting the bag, or substantially tearing the walls of the bag. The walls of the bag, of course, are designed to resist tearing, which further makes opening of the bag difficult, and cutting requires having a cutting tool to be handy.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,480,752 there is disclosed a feature for a pinch bottom bag that facilitates the opening of the bag. The feature includes a tab which is bonded inside the bag within one of the side wall gusset folds. A portion of the tab extends out of the interior of the bag and as the bag is folded closed, remains exposed to the exterior of the bag. By pulling on the tab, the pinch bottom closure is opened in an area surrounding the tab.
In commonly-assigned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/768,389, now abandoned, the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference, an easy opening feature for industrial bags is also described. A tab is bonded into the bag with a portion extending outwardly from the bag, and the side walls of the bag are formed to include at least one tear line to cause localized tearing of the bag during opening as well as to reduce the effort required to open the bag. In particular embodiments of the bag, tear lines may be formed in both the front and back walls of the bag and arranged so as to align and overlap in a double fold closure.
Disposing the tab within the bag may cause difficulty when the bag is used for particular contents materials. For example, if the bag is to contain pet food, the pet food will typically have some fat content. Unless the tab is specially treated, such as coated with silicone or formed from synthetic materials, over time the tab will wick fatty oils from the pet food to the exterior of the bag. The fatty oils make the tab difficult to grasp hindering opening of the bag, may weaken the tab causing it to fail as the bag is opened, may distort printing disposed on the bag and/or the tab, and may further attract insects and rodents. Using silicone coated tabs and or synthetic materials to form the tab presents problems in effectively gluing the bag closed.
Many times it is desirable to reclose the bag after it has been opened. This is often the case where not all of the contents of the bag will be distributed. Reclosing a bag either sewn closed or glued closed is generally not possible without the use of tape or a clip to keep the bag closed. Frequently neither tape nor a clip is available and the bag is simply folded over in the hope that it will remain closed and that its contents will not spill.
The invention provides an easy open feature for an industrial bag utilizing a tab disposed on the exterior of the bag in combination with a uniquely glued closure.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, a bag includes a front wall, a back wall, first and second side walls interconnecting the front wall and the back wall, and an enclosed end defining an interior portion and an exterior portion of the bag. The enclosed end includes a flap formed integral with the back wall that is folded over and bonded to the front wall using adhesive. A tab is secured to the front wall on the exterior of the bag and is disposed between the flap and the front wall. The tab is detachably secured to the front wall and the adhesive is disposed between the front wall and the flap in a pattern defining an adhesive void adjacent an opening edge of the bag.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a tab useful in opening the bag is further useful for reclosing the bag. The tab may include a peel-free adhesive that permits the tab to be repeatably reattached to an outer surface of the bag. A opening flap of the bag may then be folded over to close the opening and the tab used to keep the bag in the closed condition.
Alternatively, the tab may include a segmented backing material. Removing successive portions of the segmented backing material exposes adhesive. The bag may be folded closed and the exposed adhesive used to keep the bag closed. As the exposed portion of adhesive becomes less effective for keeping the bag closed, another segment of the backing material may be removed exposing fresh adhesive.
These and other advantages and features of the invention will become apparent to one of ordinary skill in the bag making art from the following detailed description of several preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the attached drawings wherein like reference numerals are used to identify like elements throughout and in which:

With reference to FIG. 1, a bag 10 includes a front wall 12, a back wall 14 and first and second side walls (one shown as 16) defining an interior 15 and an exterior 17 of the bag 10. First and second side walls 16 preferably have a gusseted configuration, although the present invention is readily adaptable to flat-tube bags. Also, while described in terms of a single fold pinch bottom bag, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the present invention has application to double-fold bags and square end bags. The front wall 12, back wall 14 and first and second side walls 16 are each shown as single ply material; however, as will be appreciated from the discussion of additional preferred embodiments below, multi-layer laminate materials may also be used with the present invention.
With continuing reference to FIG. 1, bag 10 includes an open end 18, and the front wall 12 and first and second side walls 16 each include an end edge 20 and 22, respectively. A flap 24 is formed extending from the back wall 14 and beyond the end edges 20 and 22. A tab member 26 is secured to the front wall 12 on the exterior 17 of the bag 10, extending from the edge 20 along the front wall 12 substantially perpendicular to the edge 20. A second end of the bag 10 (not shown) may be pre-closed or remain open. In preferred embodiments, a bag may be manufactured with an enclosed end including an easy open feature in accordance with the present invention, and the second end is used for filling and is subsequently permanently sealed by the end-user. Of course, the end-user may use the open end 18 for filling, and then seal bag 10 in accordance with the present invention once filled.
The flap 24 folds along a line 28 to form an enclosed end (best seen in FIG. 2). Alternatively, the bag 10 may be closed by folding the flap 24 along the line 29, wherein a portion 27 of the front wall 12 is folded along the line 29 and retained beneath the flap 24. In the closed configuration, the flap 24 engages the front wall 12 and is secured thereto by an adhesive 32, which is applied in a substantially continuous pattern extending along the flap 24 between the first and second side walls 16 adjacent the edge 25. The tab member 26 extends outwardly along the front wall 12 from beneath the flap 24. The tab member 26 may be secured to the front wall 12 using a relatively strong adhesive, or the tab member 26 may be secured to the front wall 12 using an adhesive having high shear strength but low tensile strength. Such adhesives are frequently referred to as peel-free adhesives (an adhesive 35 for securing the tab 26 is illustrated in FIG. 4). Peel-free adhesives are advantageous in the present application in view of the fact that most of the stresses to which the bag 10 is exposed during folding and use of the bag 10 are in shear. Thus, the peel-free adhesive is very effective for retaining the tab member 26 to the front wall 12, while still permitting easy opening of the bag 10. Use of peel-free adhesive further offers the advantage of making the bag 10 resealable. The peel-free adhesive retains sufficient tackiness to re-adhere the tab member 26 to the front wall 12 with the application of modest force. In fact, the tab member 26 may be repeatedly removed and reattached. Therefore, once the bag 10 has been opened, it may be resealed by folding the open portion (31 in FIG. 3) of the flap 24, to which the tab member 26 was bonded when the bag 10 was first closed, and maintained in its folded closed position by the tab member 26 bonding to the front wall 12.
Referring to FIG. 3, the tab member 26 is pulled upwardly and forwardly as indicated generally by arrow "A." Pulling the tab member 26 in the direction of arrow "A" causes a tearing of the flap 24 along the tear lines 30 forming a tear away portion 31. The separation of the portion 31 from the flap 24 permits the opening of the bag 10 as shown in FIG. 4. The tab member 26 is retained to the portion 31 by the adhesive 32 and some delamination of the flap 24 and the front wall 12 occurs in the areas 34. The tab member 26 may be pulled from the front wall 12 by separation from its adhesive if a peel-free adhesive is used or as a result of delamination of an outer surface of the front wall 12 if a stronger adhesive is used.
The tab member 26 is shown positioned towards one of the first and second sides 16, which permits forming a pour spout as shown in FIG. 4. Of course, the tab member 26 may be positioned anywhere along the flap 24, such as at a center portion to form a center spout. The tab member 26 may further be positioned on an exterior of the bag, but within one of the gusset folds of the side walls 16. Moreover, it should be noted that the configuration of the tab member 26 shown in the Figures is representative of a possible tab configuration, and virtually any size and shape of tab members may be employed with the present invention.
The present invention has been found to provide easier opening by modifying how the flap 24 is secured to the front wall 12. With continued reference to FIG. 1, as noted adhesive the strip 32 is applied as a substantially continuous strip along the flap 24 and preferably closely adjacent to the edge 25. This ensures that when the flap 24 is folded and engaged with the front wall 12, the adhesive 32 does not bridge opening 18 which may cause the edge 20 to bond to the back wall 14 substantially impairing opening of the bag 10.
As shown in FIG. 5, an additional substantially continuous strip of adhesive 40 may be applied to the front wall 12, displaced from the edge 20. The tab member 26 is shown disposed over the adhesive 40, but it will be appreciated that tab member 26 may be first applied to the front wall 12 and the adhesive 40 applied over tab member 26. By positioning the adhesive 32 adjacent the edge 25 and the adhesive 40 displaced from the edge 20, upon sealing the bag 10 by the folding flap 24 into engagement with the front wall 12, neither the adhesive 32 nor the adhesive 40 bridges the opening 18. This "adhesive void" adjacent the opening 18 ensures that the bag 10 may be easily opened once the tab member 26 is used to tear open the portion 28 of the flap 24. In an alternative preferred embodiment, the portion 27 may be coated with silicone or similar material. In this embodiment, adhesive coming into contact with the coating disposed on the portion 27 will not substantially adhere effectively providing the desired adhesive void adjacent the opening 18.
For a bag to be opened such as shown in FIG. 4, the adhesive void may be limited to a local area adjacent the tab member 26. In this manner, the adhesive 32 and 40 may be applied in a pattern such that it is adjacent and does bridge the opening 18 away from the tab member 26 but forms the desired adhesive void in the vicinity of the tab member 26. Similarly, silicone or other coatings may be applied to the front wall 12 in local areas where opening of the bag 10 is desired. Still further, it is possible to coat the tab member 26 itself with silicone or a similar material to inhibit bonding of the flap 24 to the tab member 26, and hence the front wall 12, adjacent the opening 18 for forming the adhesive void.
The adhesive void may not be acceptable in all application of the bag 10 because the adhesive void weakens the bag 10. The weakening of the bag 10 created by the adhesive void is desirable for facilitating opening the bag, but it may adversely affect using the bag in certain applications. As shown in FIG. 6, a tab member 42 is formed with a plurality of apertures 44. The apertures 44 permit bonding of the flap 24 to the front wall 12 in the area of the apertures 44 and through the tab member 42. Permitting bonding of the flap 24 to the front wall 12 through the apertures 44 substantially strengthens the bag 10 over providing an adhesive void for the entirety of the tab member 42. As a further enhancement, and to ensure tearing of the flap 24 in the region of the tab member 26, it may be desirable to provide tear lines, perforations or weakened areas 30 in flap 24 to ensure tearing adjacent the tab member 26.
Providing an adhesive void also may not be suitable for applications in which sifting leakage is a problem. The adhesive void provides a path through which fine particles may leak from the bag 10 and/or may provide an entry point for insects or contaminants. With reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 a multi-ply tab member 48 including a first ply 50 and a second ply 52 is used in conjunction with the bag 10. Second ply 52 is substantially permanently bonded to the front wall 12. The first ply 50 is secured to the second ply 52 using a peel-free adhesive. The tab member 48 is secured to the front wall 12 with a portion 53 overlapping the edge 20 and a second portion 55 extending outwardly along the front wall 12 from beneath the flap 24. To open the bag 10, the first ply 50 is separated from the second ply 52 and pulled upwardly causing tearing of the flap 24 adjacent to the tab member 48. Because the second ply 52 is bonded to the front wall 12, the first ply 50 is bonded to the second ply 52 and the flap 24 is bonded to the first ply 50, substantially complete, sift resistant sealing of the bag 10 is provided. By providing the portion 53 overlapping the edge 20, an effective adhesive void is created adjacent the opening 18 facilitating opening of the bag 10.
With reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, a tab member 54, which also provides resistance to sift leakage, includes a body portion 56, a first tab portion 57 and a second tab portion 58. The tab member 54 is positioned to the front wall 12 such that the second tab portion 58 overlaps the edge 20. The second tab portion 58 is not bonded to the front wall 12, and in this manner the second tab portion 58 forms the adhesive void that facilitates opening of the bag 10. The body portion 56 extends along the front wall 12 from the end edge 20 and substantially perpendicular thereto and includes adhesive for securing the tab member 54 to the front wall 12. The first tab portion 57 is also unsecured to the front wall 12, and it permits easy grasping of the tab member 54 for opening the bag 10. Preferably, the tab member 54 is made from label stock having a label substrate with adhesive on one side and a release backing covering the adhesive. The release backing is preferably die cut or otherwise segmented such that a portion adjacent the tab portion 56 may be removed to expose the adhesive, while portions adjacent each of the first and second tab portions 57 and 58 remain secured to the substrate. The adhesive may then be advantageously used to secure the tab member 54 to the front wall 12 as described. The label stock may be further advantageously printed with opening instructions, coupon information and the like.
Referring to FIG. 11, still another alternate tab member 60 is shown. The tab member 60 is disposed substantially completely under the flap 24. This arrangement prevents inadvertent removal of the tab member and/or inadvertent opening of the bag 10. To open the bag 10 adapted with the tab member 60, a user places a finger or fingers under the flap 24 in the area of the tab 60 and lifts upwardly tearing the flap 24. The tab member 60 is preferably secured to the front wall 12 using a peel-free adhesive which allows easy separation of the tab member 60 from the front wall 12 allowing the user to insert a finger underneath the tab member 60 for opening the bag.
With reference now to FIG. 12, a bag 110 includes a front wall 112, a back wall 114 and first and second side walls (one shown as 116) defining an interior 115 and exterior 117 of the bag 110. Each of the front wall 112, the back wall 114 and the first and second side walls 116 are of a multi-ply construction, and the first and second side walls 116 further preferably have a gusseted configuration. The bag 110 includes an open end 118, and the front wall 112, and the first and second side walls 116 each include end edges 120 and 122, respectively. A flap 124 is formed extending from the back wall 114 and beyond the end edges 120 and 122. A tab member 126 is secured to the front wall 112 on the exterior of the bag 110, extending from the end edge 120.
The flap 124 folds along line 128 to form an enclosed end. In the closed configuration, the flap 124 engages the front wall 112 and is secured thereto by adhesive 132, which is applied in a substantially continuous pattern extending along a first lamination 142 and potentially each lamination of flap 124 between the first and second side walls 116. A substantially continuous pattern of the adhesive 140 is also applied to a lamination 146 of the front wall 112. Preferably the adhesive 140 is applied to an outermost lamination 146 of the front wall 112 displaced from the edge 120, leaving one or more of the inner laminations 148 and 150 adhesive free. Similarly, the adhesive 132 is preferably applied to outer most laminations, e.g., laminations 142 and 144, and adjacent the edge 125. As will be appreciated, this arrangement of the adhesive 132 and 140 assures adhesive does not bridge the opening 118 thereby providing an adhesive void that facilitates opening of the bag 110.
With reference to FIG. 13, a bag 210 includes a front wall 212, a back wall 214 and first and second side walls (one shown as 216). Each of the front wall 212, back wall 214 and first and second side walls 216 are shown of single ply construction, but may be of a multi-ply construction, and the first and second side walls 216 further preferably have a gusseted configuration. The bag 210 includes an open end 218, and the front wall 212, and the first and second side walls 216 each include an end edge 220 and 222, respectively. A flap 224 is formed extending from the back wall 214 and beyond the end edges 220 and 222. A tab member 226 is secured to the front wall 212 on the exterior of bag 210, extending from the end edge 220.
The flap 224 folds along line 228 to form an enclosed end. In the closed configuration, the flap 224 engages the front wall 212 and is secured thereto by the adhesive 232, which is applied in a substantially continuous pattern extending along the flap 224 between the first and second side wall 216 and the adjacent edge 225. The end edges 222 of the first and second side walls 216 have "long edges" or stepped plies 240 and 242. Adhesive 244 and 246 is applied to each of the stepped plies 240 and 242. Preferably, the stepped plies 240 and 242 extend sufficiently far along the flap 224 that during application of the adhesive 232, adhesive is also applied to each. In the closed configuration, the stepped plies 240 and 242 are bonded to the front wall 212 securing the gusset portion of the first and second side walls 216 to further strengthen the bag 210, while the tab member 226 provides for easy opening of the bag 210 in accordance with the present invention.
Referring now to FIGS. 14 and 15, a plurality of tabs 62 are secured to a release backing 64. Each tab 62 is formed from a substrate 66, and the substrate 66 should have sufficient strength so as not to fail during opening of a bag. A suitable material for the substrate 66 is 2 mil mylar or similar material. It is also desirable to print messages, discount coupons or opening instructions 68 on a surface of the tab 62. The messages may be printed directly on the substrate 66 using a suitable ink for printing on mylar or plastic material. Alternatively, the substrate 66 may be formed as a laminate of paper and plastic, where the paper portion is exposed for printing.
On a back side 70 of the tab 62, best seen in FIG. 15 where a portion of the release backing 64 is shown pulled back to expose the back side 70, there is disposed adhesive 72. The adhesive 72 may be a peel-free adhesive as previously described, or a more aggressive adhesive. In either case it is important that adhesive be sufficiently aggressive so as to prevent creep of the tab 62 with respect to the bag at temperatures up to 150� Fahrenheit (F).
The adhesive 72 is disposed on a center portion of the back side 70 leaving the end portions 74 and 76 adhesive free. The end portion 74 provides for forming the previously described adhesive void in accordance with the present invention for facilitating opening of a bag. The end portion 76 provides a portion of tab member that may be easily grasped for opening the bag.
Referring now to FIG. 16, a tab 78 is formed from a substrate 80. Preferably, a plurality of tabs 78 are retained on a release backing 79 as shown in FIG. 17 from which they may be removed and attached to a bag. The substrate 80 is preferably mylar or similar plastic material, and may be a laminate material. Adhesive 82 is disposed on a surface 84 of the tab member 78. An end portion 86 is maintained adhesive free. A first portion of the adhesive 82 at the end 88 is covered by a layer 90 of release the backing material 79 and a second portion 92 of the adhesive 82 remains exposed. The layer 90 is formed with a plurality of perforations 91, permitting individual segments, respectively 90 a, 90 b and 90 c, to be individually removed, and segment 90 a is shown partially displaced from the tab member 78 in FIG. 17. In an alternate preferred embodiment, segments 90 a, 90 b and 90 c may be die cut and therefore completed separated from one another. The adhesive 82 secures the tab 78 to a bag for forming an easy opening feature as described in accordance with the present invention with end portion 86 forming the preferred void between a closing flap and outer wall of the bag. The tab 78 further permits reclosing of the bag. Again, the adhesive 82 may be a peel-free adhesive or a more aggressive adhesive. The exposed portion 92 may be used, if it retains sufficient tackiness, to resecure the tab 78 to the bag and to thereby maintain the bag in a closed position. When the exposed portion 92 loses sufficient tackiness for reclosing the bag, a segment 90 a-90 c may be removed exposing a fresh portion of the adhesive 82. Additionally, while in place, the layer 90 leaves a portion of the tab 78 free to be grasped for opening the bag. It will be appreciated, however, that the adhesive 92 may not necessarily extend completely to the end 88 to provide a free portion of the tab 78 available for grasping when all of the segments 90 a-90 c have been removed.
The invention has been described in terms of several preferred embodiments directed to pinch bottom bags. It will be appreciated that the invention may be adapted to other bag types apart from pinch bottom bags. The invention may also be incorporated into closed bag ends as provided from the manufacturing facility, and/or may be incorporated into the bag by the end-user after filling. Still further the tabs may be printed to provide opening instructions, discount coupons, and the like. The above-described preferred embodiments are intended to be illustrative of the broad scope of the invention, which is defined by the sub-joined claims.

Leaflet titled 'Appointment with the Commonwealth Service' issued to Katarina Pimenowa by the Commonwealth Public Service Board in 1950. The leaflet outlines various public service requirements relating to nationality, the oath of allegiance, birth certificate, medical checks, commencement, and expenses.
Kateryna Caurs (nee Pimenow) was born on 7 July 1915 in Luzk, Poland. She grew up firstly in the Ukraine and then in Russia, where she studied mechanical engineering at the Moscow Technical Institute. From 1946 to 1949 Katerina worked with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and later as a clerk for the International Refugee Organisation (IRO). In 1950 Kateryna and her mother migrated to Australia. Due to her degree and previous work in Russia and Germany, Kateryna was able to work as a mechanical engineer once in Australia. She married Latvian immigrant Alexander Caurs in 1959.
Alexander was born in Latvia on 12 July 1926, he migrated to Australia in 1948, arriving in Sydney aboard the 'Charlton Sovereign' on 29 October. Alexander worked as a fitter, and was living in Camberwell when he was naturalised in 1959. He married Kateryna Pimenow the same year on the 10th July. His parent's Peter and Nadeshda Caurs migrated to Australia in 1950, although they appear to have left in 1956. From 22 August 1966 to 21 August 1970 he worked as a storeman for the Commonwealth of Australia Department of Works.

New here. Looking for a BA? (Photos)
Doctor Answers 12
Breast Augmentation
Thank you for your questions. Patients who are active with small frames often have excellent results with breast augmentations. I recommend trying on sizers and undergoing Vectra 3D Imaging to get an idea of your post-procedural results and to "try on" different implants. There are also several different types of incisions you can consider. Make sure you discuss all of this with your board certified plastic surgeon. Breast of luck!

Breast augmentation
Try on some implants. Measure your diameter and try to get an implant that matches that diameter. Push your breasts together to see where your cleavage is. I always recommend implants under the muscle. You are thin enough so that I would recommend silicone implants to minimize rippling.
Talmage Raine MD FACS
Breast Augmentation Options
Thank you for your question and photos. You appear to be starting from a great place so should expect optimal results. I recommend that you share your desired look with your Plastic Surgeon. They will use this information and your specific breast measurements to determine the sizes which fit you the best. My patients find it helpful to try on implant sizers in the office in order to get an idea of how they will look.
Be sure to select a board certified Plastic Surgeon.
All the best

Breast augmentation
Thank you for your question and photographs.
From your photograph and cosmetic goals, I believe you would benefit from a breast augmentation but I would recommend that you schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon so they can perform a physical examination and take measurements so they can recommend the best implant type/sizes for your body. There are 3D simulators that can show you what you would look like with different types of implants and different sizes, this can be helpful when trying to decide what size would achieve your cosmetic goals. At my office, I use high profile Sientra implants to create a round full result that looks natural, giving you the result that you want. Additionally, i use Crisalix which is a virtual reality device that will allow you to view different sizes of implants and pick which best suits your desires. As the only board certified plastic surgeon in Pittsburgh offering this virtual reality imaging system, we have a 100% satisfaction rate. Crisalix is truly a unique experience for our patients as they can view themselves using virtual reality goggles and can instantly visualize their own breasts changing in size and shape with all of the various brands, sizes and shapes of breast implants. Thus, our patients leave the consultation feeling confident with the size of the implant they chose.
Best of luck in your endeavors!

Breast augmentation for athletic women
Thanks for your question! Your upcoming consults will be your opportunity to help alleviate your concerns about size and ability to exercise. Sizing is usually one of the biggest concerns for most women. I use a combination of techniques during your consult to chose this with you. This starts with taking your measurements and determining your base diameter. Then you can try on external sizers and I also use Vectra a 3D photo of you that allows you to see your body with potential implants you like.
Breast augmentation and runner athlete
Hello and thank you for the question and photos. When sizing a patient for implants the most important determining factor is matching the implant to the frame / breast width. Most athletes chose more modest sizes (300-350 range ) as a larger breast can sometimes interfere with sports and may not match your goal pics.
I would suggest a TEXTURED silicone implant under the muscle. For most patients, silicone offers superior feel, less rippling and weight. For runners, a textured implant is less likely to move, migrate or bottom out.
You should prepare for about 2 weeks off of work to recover, and about a 1-2 months out of the gym. The longer you wait to run, the better your chances of having a good outcome.
As always best to be healthy, no smoking, and to make sure any health concerns you have are being managed by your primary care physician.
Best to you
This is an exciting time for you. During your consultation, you need to discuss with your surgeon size/volume desire in addition to the look you are going for. This will help him/her assist you with picking an ideal implant for you and your body. You will have to avoid the gym for a period of time, but this is a small price to pay in the end. Good luck
Consultation Details
All surgical procedures carry some degree of risk Any breast operation can result in changes in sensation. This happens less with lifts than reductions but is still possible Occasionally, minor complications occur and do not affect the surgical outcome. Major complications associated with this procedure are rare. The suitability of the breast lift procedure and specific risks may be determined during your consultation.
Once you have scheduled your surgery date, your consultant will schedule your pre-operative visit lasting about one hour. Here is a list of what takes place at this visit:
· Take your before photos
· Ask to see printed breast photos showing what you would like your breasts to look like
· Go over your health history again
· Take your blood pressure
· Give you prescriptions for medications to be filled before surgery (antibiotic, muscle relaxer, pain medication, etc.)
· Inform you of any medical testing needed - this is based on age and health history (testing can include: blood tests, EKG, mammogram)
· Finalize implant type, size, and profile and confirm incision site and implant placement
· Complete all consents and other required paperwork, pay your final balance
· If a post-operative sports bra is not provided, recommend purchasing a couple of basic sports bras to use during recovery.

Berries and Roasted Pecans
Low Carbohydrate Diet
Berries and Roasted Pecans includes brie cheese with a sauce of mixed berries, Cognac, apricot preserves and toasted pecan pieces. Serve with assorted crackers.
18 ounce round of Brie cheese
1 cup mixed berries, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup Cognac
1/3 cup apricot preserves
1/2 cup lightly toasted pecan pieces
Assorted crackers
Recipe Directions
Early Preparation: Marinate berries in Cognac for four to six hours.
Lightly toast pecans in 350-degree oven for three to five minutes. Set aside.
To serve: Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees.
Cut a wedge 1/4 of the diameter of the Brie. Stack it on top of remaining round and place on oven-proof serving platter.
In a small sauce pan heat apricot preserves over medium heat until dissolved. Stir in marinated berries and then nuts. Reduce heat and warm through.
Heat Brie in oven until softened but not runny. Spoon mixture over Brie and serve immediately with assorted crackers.
Did You Know?
In France, Brie is very different from the cheese exported to the United States. "Real" French Brie is unstabilized and the flavor is complex when the surface turns slightly brown. Exported Brie, however, is stabilized and never matures. Stabilized Brie has a much longer shelf life and is not susceptible to bacteriological infections.

After school LessonMature
I felt like I needed some time before talking to Lou again, so I ended up skipping school for the first time this year. Beside, it's better to let the smoke clear before risking lighting another fire... Mia still want me to come with her to her special lessons, which is a good excuse to be away for the evening.
After a few minutes of hanging out at her place, an old sport car just drive up to us and she gets inside, inviting me to follow.
"Where are we going, exactly?" I ask as I sit my ass down on the leather seat.
"No clue. I don't always go to the same places, it depend on what they want to show me." She answers, buckling her seat belt.
"Mostly Camilla and another girl called Nova. I also sometimes see Keith."
"Keith, the blonde giant we meet... And who subsequently shot at you?"
"The man himself. From what I understand, it's his fault I now have to do this." She respond snickering.
"How is it his fault exactly?"
"It's... Hard to explain. When he did that trick, it broke my concept of what was possible and what wasn't. It forced me to reconsider everything it wasn't instantaneous, but my mind sort of rebuilt itself to not just consider but understand the implication of magic.
Nova told me that it isn't about bloodline, innate ability or some kind of external force, But instead about determination and belief. I think the reason I'm good with summoning is that I'm someone who likes to be in control, but I have problem externalizing my wish when I'm not in a good position. Or at least, that's what I gathered, it can be mind-boggingly complex."
After a lenghty explanation of the kind of things she does, the car finally stops and we step out in the middle of the downtown at the entrance of a towering residential complex. Mia doesn't wait for the driver before pulling me by the hand into the building. As we pass through, the security check without the officer even casually glancing at us.
Finally, after a long elevator ride, we arrive at a penthouse located at the top of the building, which is larger than both floor of my house combine.
"I didn't exactly expect that." I stupidly note while looking at the ultra-modern decor.
"And what did you expect, boy?" Someone ask from out of sight.
Although the person walked toward us, I can't figure out precisely whether it's a woman or not. 'Her' hair has been cut in a short pixie bob cut and she is dressed neutrally, with a simple jacket thrown over a tee and black jeans.
"Uh, I don't know, a tower or a a labyrinth. Not exactly a movie star's penthouse."
"Just because we do magic doesn't mean we live in the middle ages. Although we still have our places of initiations and our sacred grounds. They're just different now. But we're not here to discuss history, come with me, we'll get started immediately."

Title: Candy Hearts
Author: boneorchird
Rating: PG-ish
Pairing: Danny/Vald
Spoilers: None
Warnings: Slash (Duh?), Kinda pedophile-ish I guess
Summary: Vald gets a surprise on Valentines Day.
Disclaimer: Don't own, Don't Sue.
Candy Hearts
Vald hates Valentines Day.
He hates everything about it. The cheesy hallmark cards, the annoying singing stuff animals, the flowers and candy, and the lovey-dovey couples make him want to vomit.
But most of all, Vald hates being alone on the day of romance.
Every year. Every god damn year he was alone, again.
That may have been the reason why he was so surprised when he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of Candy hearts, ones that he most certainly didn't have in his pocket the last time he checked. Vald carefully study the candy box, holding it away from him, expecting it to blow up or shoot ectoplasm at him.
"This must be some kind of cruel sick joke," He said, throwing it into the nearest trash can.
A few hours later, much to his annoyance, another evil little candy box appeared on his desk. And then another, and another, and so on, until finally he couldn't take it anymore. Vald vowed on, whatever evil half ghost vow on, that he would find the culprit that had been hiding, these horrid little boxes everywhere.
Vald transformed into his ghost form and turned invisible, and settled down to wait, and watch. Not even thirty minutes had passed, before he felt another ghost nearby, entering his home. "HA!" He yelled loudly, "I've caught you've red handed, you-you..."
There standing in front of him, guiltily holding a box of candy hearts, was non-other than his arch nemesis Danny Fenton. "What's going on," Vald said growling, grabbing Danny by the shoulders, shaking him slightly, "What are you doing here?"
Danny pulled away from the older man, looking annoyed and slightly nervous "What does it look like I'm doing?"
"Causing trouble," Vald stared at the young Halfling, "So you're the one who has been leaving these...things." Vald pointed to the little box in Danny's hand.
"Maybe," Danny snapped, slightly shuffling his feet, "Who else would be crazy enough to do it."
"Ah," Vald said in understanding, "Did someone dare you to do this, is it some kind of joke?"
"No!" Danny said, losing his air of confidence, "I wasn't even going to leave the whole box this time, just one or two of the hearts..."
Vald rolled his eyes in disbelief, "Oh, and which ones would those be, hmm?" At that Danny did blush, the pink spreading quickly from his face to his neck. The Halfling put down the box, pulling from his pocket two hearts, holding one in each hand.
Vald pursed his lips, and leaned forward to read the first heart. Be Mine, it read. Vald shot a glance to his arch-nemesis's face, and saw that it was as almost as pink as the tiny heart he was holding. "Well..." The elder man started to say.
"Pleasreadtheotherone," Danny mumbled, face burning. "Pardon?" Vald said leaning closer to the boy, trying to understand, "Say that again, more slowly this time."
"Please-read-the-other-one," Danny took a deep breath and pronounced each word slowly, making sure the other male understood.
Vald rolled his eyes again, but leaned in closely to read the last heart. Never did he expect that what was on the little green heart, could stop the one beating in his chest.
Kiss Me.
Vald hadn't realized he had said it out loud, until he felt Danny's lips brush against his own.
After that, Vald decided Valentines wasn't such a bad holiday after all.

Oxford boss Chris Wilder was desperately disappointed to let two vital points slip after 10-man Torquay snatched a dramatic last-minute equaliser.
The U's remain in seventh place in League Two, just ahead of Crewe on goal difference, but looked on course for victory after goals from Adam Chapman and Cristian Montana cancelled out Rene Howe's opener.
Ian Morris was sent off 10 minutes from time for a second yellow card before Gulls sub Taiwo Atieno popped up in the 90th minute to fire past the injured Ryan Clarke.
Wilder said: "I'm disappointed because we murdered a good side in the second half.
"We took them to the cleaners and for us to pick up just one point from two games over the Easter period against Northampton and Torquay that we've largely dominated is criminal really.
"We went behind from an individual mistake that the boy (Harry) Worley is disappointed in, and it was a bad second goal right at the end. It's something the goalkeeper would deal with 99 times out of 100. He should have just tipped it over the bar but it ends up in the back of the net."
Gulls boss Martin Ling admitted his relief at the final-whistle but insisted his side deserved something from the game.
"We're relieved to come away with a point," Ling admitted. "But I thought we deserved it and deserved something from the game.
"It was a bit unfortunate for them with their keeper nursing an injury but it was a freakish first goal they scored (direct from a corner)." Ling said.
"Our keeper (Robert Olejnik) said it was his mistake, but if that's the case, that's the first mistake he's made this season."

Hilarious: Guy spotted walking in Nairobi with Two Guards Dogs after Presidents Statement….Security Start with Us
With Al Shabaab attacking innocent civilians and security officers left right and centre Kenyans have no choice but to heed to President Uhuru Kenyatta statement: "Security starts with us". The Commander of the Armed Forces blamed Kenyans for letting Al Shabaab massacre them-atleast that's what most Kenyans made from his speech.
Anyway, this fellow decided that security starts with him and he decided to elicit the services of two guard dogs…simply hilarious…

Think of Europe as a megaclub with lots of different rooms. Sure, not all are good. But isn't it better than the fights when a dozen clubs all chuck out at the same time?Think of Europe as a megaclub with lots of different rooms. Sure, not all are good.

Download the I-9 Form now.
Students usually complete this form at Student Employment. For students employed at CWU Centers, supervisors should complete the form with their newly hired student employees and forward it to Student Employment.
When you download the form, carefully read all instructions. This is a FEDERAL form that is required of all persons employed in the United States of America.
You will download 3 pages (Instruction Sheet, I-9 Form, List of Acceptable Documents). When photocopying, make sure the I-9 Form and List of Acceptable Documents are duplexed (the I-9 form is on one side and the List of Acceptable Documents is on the other side of the same sheet of paper).
IMPORTANT: Pay particular attention when recording document names and issuing authorities (see Instruction Sheet for details). You must record the entire name of the document and issuing authority EXACTLY as it appears on the document. For instance, if you are recording a Washington State Driver's License, on the "Document Title" line, you would type or write: "Washington State Driver's License," not "WADL" or "DL." On the "Issuing authority" line, you would type or write: "State of Washington Department of Licensing," not "WA" or "Dept of Licensing." Though it may seem trivial, other schools have been cited and fined recently for not correctly recording this type of information, so please write EXACTLY what appears on the document. The best way to make sure you are in compliance is to thoroughly READ the Instruction Sheet and follow it!
When is the form required?
Completed at the time of hire for all students who will work on the CWU campus. Students only need to complete an I-9 form once for all the years employed at CWU, unless there is a lapse in enrollment of more than one quarter. If you have not enrolled at least half-time for more than one quarter, please visit Student Employment with your original ID so we can re-certify your I-9 form before you begin working again on campus.
Who completes the form?
I-9 forms are usually completed at Student Employment, or if at a CWU Center, with the employer. Both the student and employer have a section to complete and sign. Be sure to sign and date the form in ink. Make sure the date the employer signs is the same day or later than the date the student signs the form.
Where is the completed form sent?
Attach the form to the Student Personnel Action Form (SPAF) or Work-Study Personnel Action Form (WSPAF) and return it to Student Employment (Barge, 102, MS 7496). Please do not submit supplemental forms such as the I-9 separately, as it can greatly slow down processing time as we try to match forms. Typically during peak periods, we receive hundreds of forms each week. Please help us by attaching all supplemental forms to the SPAF or Work-Study Personnel Action Form (WSPAF).

Geography seeks answers to questions that include: • Where are things located? • Why are they there? • What is their significance? • What is a particular location or region like? • How and why are some places on Earth alike or different from others? • How do these things affect human behavior? In what ways can the following places impact the how people live? Things to consider: 1. Farming 2. Water 3. Transportation 4. Housing 5. Clothing Discuss with your groups.

Is there anything you are still confused about?) It is written after your notes. At the end of class, at home, or sometimes even the next day. Cornell Notes Summary • Let's watch this Brainpop about Meso-America. • As you watch, think about what information you would include in a summary. Cornell Notes Summary • Read and discuss: Which summary is better? Why? 1. 2. 3. The Olmec paved the way for others by introducing art and trade. The Maya followed the Olmec and developed the only known writing system in America. The Aztecs settled in Mexico and were famous for being ferocious warriors. Why are the Aztecs so scary? Mesoamerica is a cultural area that included several great civilizations, such as the Olmec, Aztec and Mayan. All three civilizations developed in different areas and at different times, and they all experienced cultural diffusion in which ideas, customs, languages, and technologies were shared. Some of the major similarities they shared were maize, astronomy, mathematics, games, religion, and human sacrifice. Did they sacrifice their own people? Mesoamerica is a cultural area that was home to the Olmec, Aztec, and Mayan civilizations. These civilizations shared maize, or corn, which was the staple of every Mesoamerican diet. They were also accomplished astronomers and mathematicians creating a calendar and a number system. Religion and human sacrifice were also important to all three civilizations. Cornell Notes Summary • Now return to your geography Cornell Notes. 1) Skim through your notes again underline/highlight aspects that you think are important. 2) Read your summary with your partner. 3) Partners, tell them one thing they did well and one they could improve.

Ever since Walmart announced its planned acquisition of Jet.com, the online shopping platform headed by Quidsi founder and Amazon challenger Marc Lore, there's been speculation over whether the physical retailer will actually be able to offer Amazon.com some healthy competition in the ecommerce sector.
However, despite the overall positive (though not fantastic) results of Walmart's Q2 earnings report, released the 16th of this month, there remains a healthy amount of skepticism in the industry about anyone's ability to topple Amazon from its throne.
"Amazon is quite dominant and will continue to be in the foreseeable future, because the resources they are putting into ecommerce and all of their other initiatives are formidable," said vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research Sucharita Mulpuru-Kodali. "Walmart has slowly been gaining some share in some ways, but it's often two steps forward, one step back for them."
Those familiar with Walmart's quarterly earnings will have observed this pattern, as a favorable quarter is followed by a downturn, and repeat until exhausted.
Spending $3 billion on Marc Lore and co., however, is as good a plan as any to break the cycle, especially in the company's ecommerce efforts, where they have lagged despite troves of physical resources.
In some ways its numerous retail storefronts are actually a hindrance, since, as Mulpuru-Kodali states, "the store is still such a big part of the overall pie that it's difficult to invest heavily in the web."
If Jet's technology and Lore's expertise revitalize Walmart's online focus the way they potentially could, then this team-up might actually be a nice, refreshing challenge for Amazon, as it still remains the world leader in ecommerce, helped along by the steady growth of its Amazon Prime service.
Walmart's acquisition of Lore's latest ecommerce baby should close by the end of its 2017 fiscal year, meaning that we still have a long way to go in terms of seeing the actual results of the merge on Walmart's revenue and growth in the ecommerce sector.
But that doesn't mean speculating about it isn't fun.

I think I saw a post like this before some time ago, just can't find it anymore. But the bug still exists. I hope someone will take time to take a look at it.

Examining The State of the Union Address Through an Artist's Eyes
Artist, composer and performer R. Luke DuBois developed his signature style through data mining. When the Smithsonian commissioned him to create portraits of Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, he used Google technology to create the interactive final product. For his piece "A More Perfect Union," he culled the most-used words from online dating profiles to create word maps for every city across the country.
DuBois's 2008 piece, "Hindsight is Always 20/20," uses a similar technique, applied to every president's State of the Union Address. DuBois isolates the most frequently mentioned words from State of the Union Addresses that span from George Washington, whose most used word was "gentlemen," to George W. Bush, who frequently used the word "terror." President Richard Nixon's most frequent word is perhaps the most ironic: "Truly."
"The way I designed the piece is all the words are unique—it's the 66 words that each president uses in their State of the Union more than any other president," says DuBois. "So George Washington's number one word is 'Gentelmen,' and George Bush is 'Terror.' That means those are the words they use the most, but they also use them more than anyone else."
As President Barack Obama prepares for his 2014 State of the Union Address, DuBois examines word patterns in State of the Union Addresses over time, and describes how a president's rhetoric reflects their era.
Listen to a mash-up of State of the Union Addresses and the favorite words of presidents below. What do you think President Obama should mention during his address? Weigh in here.

Chapter 14.4
The room was just as Rowena remembered it. The same bedspread on the enormous gilt four-poster bed that stood in the centre of the room, the same deep red curtains hanging by the windows, the same clutter of paper on her father's desk. She had forgotten quite how luxurious the rooms in the palace were. Gold leaf covered almost every available surface, and the stone fireplace had intricate carvings up and down either side and across the mantelpiece. It was nothing like the plain, functional rooms she had been staying in as she made her journey back home.
She shut the door quietly, trying not to make a sound, but the floor in her father's room was wooden and Artem's boots made loud thumps as she walked across the room.
'Is there someone there?' Rowena's heart skipped a beat as she heard the familiar voice coming from the next room. Her throat was dry and she couldn't speak. 'Hello?' She heard the tapping of a stick and the soft pad of slippers, followed by the appearance of her father in the doorway. He looked even older than she remembered. His hair, which used to only have the odd streak of grey, was now completely white and his face was looking pale and thin. He looked like he hadn't eaten in days and wasn't sleeping well. It almost made Rowena cry.
'Well?' He said briskly. 'What do you want?' Rowena's heart sank as she realized he didn't recognize who she was. 'Hurry up with it, I have a wedding to get ready for.' He hobbled over and sat at the desk by the window, his back to Rowena. 'Has something gone wrong in the kitchens? Because if it has I don't want to know about it. I'm sure you will be able to cope without me.'
'No, it's nothing like that your majesty,' Rowena said, finally finding her voice.
'Well then? Why have you come up here?'
'I have news of your daughter.' The King froze and Rowena wondered if she had spoken too soon.
'Do you mock me?' He whispered. 'My daughter is dead.' His voice cracked and Rowena had to suppress the urge to run to him and throw her arms around him.
'Of course not sire. I would never do such a thing.'
'Then why are you telling me these lies?' He shouted at her, turning around with tears in his eyes. 'Do you think I haven't suffered enough already? Having to give away my country, my people, my future, to a foreigner and a serving girl. Do you not think that is enough?'
'Please my lord, do not take offense,' Rowena pleaded, tears springing to her own eyes. 'I only say this because it is true. Your daughter is not dead, she is alive.'
'Do not torture an ill man any longer,' he turned away from her, looking back out the window. 'Leave me alone.'
'But your majesty-'
'I said leave me alone.'
'Let me finish,' she said firmly, making the King sit up and notice her. 'I know she is alive because I am her. I'm Rowena.' She looked at her father, praying for some recognition in his eyes. 'I'm not dead.' There was silence. Rowena had never felt so nervous in her life, desperate for her father to say something, anything. She took a step forward and his eyes were instantly upon her.
'Don't move,' he said. 'I don't know if I can trust you.'
'But it's me father. My hair, my voice, my manner, my mother's eyes.' Those eyes were looking down at him, pleading with him to see that she wasn't lying. He stood up, awkwardly, and hobbled towards her.
'Look at me.' He reached his hand up to her face, tilting it to look down at him. He was now nearly a head shorter than Rowena. How long have I been away if I've grown this much? Rowena thought as she looked into her father's sad eyes. 'You have her eyes,' he breathed. He reached up and brushed a stray strand of hair out of Rowena's face. 'Is it you?'
'Yes it is father. I've made it home.' Tears began to fall down the King's cheeks, which made Rowena cry too.
'I can't believe it. You're still alive and you're here. My baby daughter.' He pulled her into a hug, clinging tightly to her and letting his tears flow freely. 'Thank you God. I have no idea how I will repay you for this but I will find a way. Thank you.' He pulled away looking once again at Rowena's face, almost pinching himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. 'My darling Rowena, where have you been? What have you been doing that has meant you have to dress as a servant?'
'It's a very long story, and one that I don't think you will like very much.' She then proceeded to tell him her story, leaving out the parts where she travelled with Artem, and making it very clear that it was Damia's fault that everyone thought their Crown Princess was dead.
'Well that was very enlightening,' the King said when Rowena had finished.
'We need to do something about the wedding father.' Rowena said, kneeling down beside her father's chair and clasping his hand. 'It's not fair to let the Prince marry her if he has no idea who Damia really is.'
'I agree my daughter, Felipe must know what is going on before the wedding is allowed to continue.'
'What do you mean continue? The wedding can't continue because then Damia will have won. She'll have got what she wanted, my happily ever after.'
'We must take this one step at a time daughter,' the King said softly. 'If Felipe hears the truth and decides he doesn't want to marry the girl then that is his decision, but I fear he is so infatuated with her that nothing will change his mind now.'
'But we must try, for everyone's sake.'
'Of course we must,' the King said, stroking Rowena's hair. 'I will call a meeting in the great hall and we shall discuss what happens now.'
'Thank you Father,' Rowena said, kissing his hand.

A combination of intense consolidation, a fairly buoyant economy and the entrance of Generation Y makes for a more fluid market for talent that re/insurers will have to respond to. Intelligent Insurer investigates.
A combination of the plethora of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the re/insurance industry and the attitudes and expectations of Generation Y (the generation born primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, also sometimes referred to as the Millennials) to their careers means the industry is experiencing higher than normal levels of turbulence in its workforce at the moment, according to recruitment experts.
The high levels of consolidation in reinsurance in particular has become a fact of life in recent years as companies have been squeezed on both sides of the balance sheet by a combination of low investment returns and soft rates. More deals driven by these forces are expected to emerge in 2016.
There were some very big deals in 2015, including the $28.3 billion tie-up between ACE and Chubb, the $18 billion deal that created Willis Towers Watson and Exor's lengthy battle to finally acquire PartnerRe for $6.9 billion in July last year.
