TARZANA - Twenty-two-year-old Vanessa Hudgens has seen and done a lot in her short celebrity career.
She recently sat down with Vodka Vermicelli of The iRumors News Agency at a Tacos, Tacos, and Mucho More Tacos in Tarzana.
Right away Miss 2V, as Vodka Vermicelli is known, asked Hudgens about her ex-boyfriend Zac Efron and how he was spreading the word that he had broke up with her because she had been unfaithful.
Vanessa's eyes got the size of ping pong balls as she remarked that Zac was the one who cheated on her and it was with that raccoon-looking Taylor Momsen.
Vanny said that Zac and Taylor had been seen together playing footsie at a KFC in Redondo Beach. She further added that she had seen photos of Momsen grabbing Zac's crotch as the two were in Cucamonga playing miniature golf at The Munchkin Miniature Golf Course.
Hudgens also remarked that she has pictures of Zac with a yellow sharpie pen drawing smiley faces on Taylor's cleavage while she is nibbling on some Chicken McNuggets at a local Mickey D's in Tarzana.
Vodka told her that she was really impressed at the way she was able to document all of her facts. Hudgens said that she got that from her uncle Paxton "The Filing Cabinet" Glicklepowder, who worked for the CIA for 34 years.
Vermicelli then asked her about the rumor that she had been kissed by Sandra "The Kissing Bandit" Bullock. Vanessa turned red and admitted that it was true.
She said that she had been down in Austin, Texas visiting a friend who plays in Willie Nelson's back up band. And while at The Happy Heifer Bar & Grill she had run into Sandra Bullock, who lives nearby.
After the two got to talking and putting down some Lone Star Longnecks Sandra suddenly leaned over and kissed her. Vanessa said that although she was surprised, she was also thrilled and honored to be the recipient of a kiss from none other than the infamous "Kissing Bandit" herself Sandra Bullock.
Sandra took a napkin and kissed her lipsticked lips to it. She wrote on the napkin, To Vanessa, You sure do have a nice pair of kissable lips, Love, Sandra Bullock (AKA The Kissing Bandit).
Next Vanessa talked to 2V about her alleged lesbian romp with Kristen Stewart. She said that the rumor was that her and Kristen were spotted at Venice Beach in extremely skimpy swimsuits rubbing suntan lotion on each others backs, legs, arms, neck, and tushes, (butts).
Hudgens admitted that although the two were in fact rubbing suntan lotion on each other, the part about rubbing the suntan lotion on each other's asses was absolutely not true.
She asked why in the world would they rub suntan lotion on each others butts when they had bikini swimsuit bottoms on. Vanny giggled and said that it would have been a total waste of suntan lotion.
Vokda Vermicelli thanked her for her time and wished her well.
May is National Salsa Month, except of course in Arizona.

The parent company of the News of the World has admitted liability for the first time over widespread phone hacking cases.
News International, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, has said it would pay compensation in some cases.
The News of the World came under fire over its use of phone hacking in a scandal that cost the former editor his later job as head of communications for Prime Minister David Cameron.
In the past the paper has always blamed the scandal, involving celebrities, politicians and sports stars, on rogue journalists.
'Following an extensive internal investigation and disclosures through civil legal cases, News International has decided to approach some civil litigants with an unreserved apology and an admission of liability in cases meeting specific criteria,' News International said in a statement.
'We have also asked our lawyers to establish a compensation scheme with a view to dealing with justifiable claims fairly and efficiently.
'We will, however, continue to contest cases that we believe are without merit or where we are not responsible.'
However, News International did not say which cases it was accepting liability for.

North Bergen had the better of the chances, but a Mike McDermott goal held up when goalie Ryan Sprague made 10 second-half saves and Bayonne snuck by North Bergen, 1-0, on Wednesday.
Each team had only one win coming into the contest and the urgency was evident on the field. No cards were issued in the cleanly played affair, but plenty of action on both ends kept fans on the edge of their seats.
"It was huge, huge momentum boost for us," said Mike McDermott. "Now we're 2-3 instead of possibly 1-4 and it's such a huge difference for us going into our next game on Saturday."
Bayonne had to weather quite a storm to escape James J. Braddock Park with the W. After missing on some good opportunities in the first half the Bruins started honing in on the frame, but Sprague was equal to every chance, some from point blank.
"I felt tonight like nothing was going in I wasn't letting anything by me," Sprague said. "My goal tonight was no worse than tie which meant clean sheet, that's really what I wanted."
"Insane," said McDermott of Sprague's performance. "He's the best goalkeeper I've ever seen. We're all real happy he's back there he's huge for us."
Of the 10 second half shots at least seven had to be considered great scoring chances. North Bergen blasted rockets from afar, scrambled shots off of set pieces, played wide and crossed well, but in the end couldn't solve Sprague.
"They came at us so hard in the second half but we played as a team to preseve the lead, it's a huge win for us and now we have a chance to get right back to .500," McDermott said postgame.
The Bees next faceoff against Fair Lawn Saturday at 11 a.m. with a chance to get back to level pegging and for North Bergen, it must try to regroup from a 1-5 start with a game against Hoboken Friday at 4:30 p.m.

As Philippe Couillard and his Liberal cabinet were sworn in Wednesday, the prominent place given the Canadian flag and the lieutenant governor — the Queen's representative — made it plain that the Parti Québécois era was over.
But it was a subtler gesture by Mr. Couillard that truly slammed the door on Pauline Marois' 19 months in power. Kathleen Weil, it was announced, would be "Minister of Immigration, Diversity and Inclusion."
After the division wrought by the PQ's charter of Quebec values, which sought to ban minorities who wear religious symbols from public-sector employment, the immigration department's new name was clearly intended to send a message: The days of homogeneity and exclusion are over.
Addressing Ms. Weil in his speech after the 26-member cabinet was sworn in in the National Assembly's Salon Rouge, Mr. Couillard said immigration is essential to Quebec's future, and diversity is an asset.
"To welcome is to grow and to open oneself. In Quebec we are going to grow together," he said.
"You will have the difficult but essential task of helping to heal the wounds of recent months by participating in the construction of an open, inclusive society proudly sharing an identity based on our language and our shared values."
Mr. Couillard also reached out to Quebec's anglophone minority, which had felt targeted by PQ linguistic policies. "We have built Quebec together. Let us also build a common future around a shared sense of pride in our accomplishments," he said in English. "We are all proud Quebecers. There are so many things that unite us. It is time to work together again, as we have been doing in the last 350 years."
Mr. Couillard's first speech as Premier was not all warm and fuzzy, though. He began with a warning that the economic challenges ahead for Quebec threaten the livelihood of future generations.
"Quebec is faced with profound, structural issues that go beyond a change of government. In short, we have been spending beyond our means for a long time," he said. He rhymed off the sobering stats to prove it: Quebec has the highest public debt, the most government spending and the highest taxes in Canada. Every year, there are more experienced workers retiring than young ones entering the labour market.
"We thus have to act with strength, courage and determination to correct a situation that represents a threat for the quality of life of current and future generations," he said. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is no longer time for marginal, cosmetic measures. The time for difficult decisions has arrived."
The language echoed that used by Jean Charest when he was first elected in 2003, although Mr. Couillard steered clear of the phrase "reengineering the state" once favoured by Mr. Charest. Mr. Charest ran into significant opposition from public-sector unions and was never able to complete his overhaul.
Mr. Couillard assigned the main economic portfolios to economists who are political newcomers, Carlos Leitao as Finance Minister and Martin Coiteux as Treasury Board president. He said Mr. Leitao will be charged with balancing the books and dividing any surplus between tax cuts and paying down the debt. Mr. Coiteux has been told to implement a permanent mechanism reviewing the relevance and efficiency of all government programs.
As he addressed Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Jean-Marc Fournier, Mr. Couillard signalled an end to the PQ strategy of picking fights with Ottawa in hopes of building support for sovereignty. "We are Quebecers proud of our history and unique identity," Mr. Couillard said. "We believe that belonging to the Canadian federation and our shared citizenship with other Canadians are levers for the progress of Quebec." He added that the Liberal government would be "vigilant" in the face of any reforms that reduce Quebec's relative weight in federal institutions.
Just eight of Mr. Couillard's ministers are women, and more than half have never served in cabinet before. Taking power less than two years after voters turfed out a Charest government tarnished by corruption and collusion allegations, Mr. Couillard had to make a break not only with the PQ but also with his Liberal predecessor.

Call for Tiananmen compensation
Chinese dissidents have appealed to the government to compensate those imprisoned and the relatives of those killed in the Tiananmen Square crackdown 11 years ago.
On 3-4 June, 1989, government troops moved into Tiananmen Square to put a stop to seven weeks of protests - killing hundreds and possibly thousands of people.
More than 200 people are believed to remain behind bars for taking part in the protests or resisting the crackdown.
Democracy call
In their letter to President Jiang Zemin and Premier Zhu Rongji, the dissidents called for the release of political prisoners and for political reforms and democracy, said the Information Centre for Human Rights and Democracy.
The call for a government rethink of the bloody crackdown was also echoed by veteran Chinese democracy campaigner Ren Wanding.
"The day 4 June is rehabilitated will necessarily be the day of democracy," he said. "I wish success to every commemorative activity to pay silent tribute to those who laid down their lives and to salute freedom."
Tight security
To prevent commemorations, Beijing authorities have stepped up security and extra military police have been patrolling Tiananmen Gate, which overlooks the square.
Ren Wanding said police had visited his home on Friday and "told me not to carry out any activities".
Families of those who died in the crackdown were planning quiet memorials.
Su Bingxian, whose 21-year-old son was killed with three bullets to the chest, said she, her husband and their surviving two children would spend Saturday evening together in commemoration.
Zhang Xianling said she had placed flowers under a portrait at home of her 19-year-old son who was killed and would visit his grave on Sunday.
Human rights
The 4 June anniversary is also being marked in Taiwan, which sees itself as a role model for democracy in China.
The island's new President, Chen Shui-bian, has pledged to pursue an offensive of human rights diplomacy internationally, but human rights activists in Taiwan are urging him not to shy away from raising human rights issues with China.
Yang Tai-sun, deputy secretary-general of Taiwan's Association for Human Rights, said: "As a human rights organisation we feel very excited about this call, but we want to remind President Chen Shui-bian that in promoting human rights, he should not ignore the human rights situation over the Taiwan Straits.
"He may consider that to promote the human rights situation in China might jeopardise the stability of the two sides, but we think differently.
"We believe that using the topics of human rights could establish a bridge between the two peoples."

The Christian Life Movement, an international Catholic association of the faithful that belongs to the Sodalite Family, will finish delivering 600 tons of aid this weekend to those affected by the August 15 earthquake in southern Peru, with the support of 500 new volunteers who will distribute the goods and offer spiritual support to those in need.
The CLM has launched a solidarity campaign which has already distributed 300 tons of donations—an amount that will be duplicated in the coming days—and has sent over 1500 volunteers to the affected region.
According to organizers of the campaign, "In response to so much suffering and pain caused by the earthquake that affected mainly the province of Ica in the south, the CLM immediately went on alert."
The 7.9 magnitude quake left more than 500 dead, 1000 injured and 100,000 homeless. Hours after the tragedy, the CLM sent doctors, nurses and health specialists to the region. The movement also organized fundraising drives and volunteers to help out in the relief effort. The CLM campaign has thus far helped more than 13,000 families.
The movements has posted video reports on YouTube in order to encourage people to help out in the relief effort: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_1wc7-oBV0

Labour 'inaction' blamed for violence
The Conservatives are blaming the government for England being on the verge of expulsion from the Euro 2000 football championships.
Shadow home secretary Ann Widdecombe said Labour's "complacent" attitude and "woeful inaction" over football hooligans travelling abroad.
After a weekend which saw violent clashes between English and German fans in Belgium, the row over hooliganism took to the floor of the Commons.
She was speaking after Mr Straw announced plans to ban those fans convicted of violence abroad from all Premiership matches for life.
Government blames the opposition
The shadow home secretary took Mr Straw to task for failing to create government time for a travel ban on those seen as likely to cause violence abroad.
She said his attempts to blame the opposition of a few Tory backbenchers against the bill, brought in last year, simply did not wash.
Miss Widdecombe said it was "pathetic" to watch the home secretary "trying to blame the opposition for his own inaction".
Issuing a challenge to Mr Straw, she called on him to tack the measure on to a Home Office bill now in its final stages in the Lords.
Straw accused of 'spin'
If he did not act now, Miss Widdecombe asked: "Will he instead leave it to the next Conservative government?"
She was joined in her attack on Labour's handling of the issue by MP Simon Burns.
Mr Burns had included the measures against those suspected of the potential to cause football violence in his private member's bill, but they were later dropped.
Defending Labour's policies, the home secretary said that little would have been achieved by the implementation of the proposed law.
This was because, he said, the intelligence services had suspected almost none of the hundreds of England fans arrested in the Netherlands and Belgian of being likely to cause trouble.
Alcohol ban
Liberal Democrat Simon Hughes said: "The best way forward is to concentrate not on what might have been, but what we can do now."
He called for the Belgian authorities to introduce alcohol bans around the areas likely to be affected by thuggery and also called for more police 'spotters' to work among fans to discover any plans they may have to cause mayhem.
While Labour backbencher Joe Ashton warned the House that unless England fans behaved, Uefa would have no hesitation in banning England from playing in the rest of the tournament.
He also told MPs that England's bid to hold the 2006 World Cup was also at stake.
"German fans will try and get England fans into a riot situation to get them thrown out."
He added: "We could lose the World Cup because a handful of yobbos thew some pint glasses."

Kimco Realty Corp. (KIM - Free Report) , a real estate investment trust (REIT), has recently announced the acquisition of 50% ownership stake in Orleans Gardens Shopping Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, for $16.5 million. With the purchase of this grocery-anchored shopping center, Kimco presently has six retail centers in Ottawa, bringing its tally of Canadian shopping center portfolio to 64 properties.
The acquisition is part of a new pari passu joint venture with the existing owner of the property – the North American Property Group. Pari passu refers to an "equal footing" scenario and describes situations where two or more assets, securities, creditors or obligations are equally managed without any display of preference.
Spanning 110,000 square feet of retail space, Orleans Gardens Shopping Centre is anchored by two Canadian retailers: a 49,000-square-foot Loblaws Supermarket, and an 11,000-square-foot Rexall Pharma Plus drugstore.
The acquired property is strategically located in an established residential neighborhood in Orleans, which is one of the fast-growing eastern suburbs of Ottawa with an expanding residential and commercial population. The property boasts of approximately 110,000 residents within a 3-mile radius with an average household income of $111,000.
With a geographically diverse portfolio concentrated mostly in high-income, high-growth areas, Kimco is the largest publicly traded owner and operator of neighborhood and community shopping centers in the U.S.
Kimco has established a track record of conservative capital management and maintains strong investment-grade debt ratings. Furthermore, the company has continuous access to capital through debt or equity financing, that provide the necessary resources to expand and develop its business.
We maintain our long-term Neutral recommendation on Kimco, which currently has a Zacks #3 Rank that translates into a short-term Hold rating. We also have a long-term Neutral recommendation and a Zacks #2 Rank (short-term Buy) for Simon Property Group (SPG - Free Report) , one of the competitors of Kimco.

Hey everyone. I have a one year old spayed female and a 9 month old neutered male. Our female has never had potty problems or tried to mark things with her chin. However, before our male was neutered he would have accidents and chin EVERYTHING. After he was neutered his bathroom habits were 100% improved, and he would only try to chin the females condo (he left everything else alone). We live in a small one bedroom apartment with an extremely small bathroom and bedroom, but a decent sized living room and kitchen (our bedroom is off limits to the buns).
Before attempting bonding, our buns would each have the run of the kitchen and living room area at different times. They never showed any issues with this set up, it actually worked pretty well. We decided we wanted to be able to keep them in the same condo and have them out at the same time to make our lives easier, so we decided to try bonding. The only place that would be considered neutral in our apartment is the bathroom, so we started them off in the bath tub. Our male instantly tried to mount the female. She was scarred and my fiance didn't wipe the tub out before we put them in, so their little feet were wet too that just added to the stress; it just wasn't a good time! That bonding session lasted about 2 min.
Next time we tried the car ride. There really isn't anywhere that's neutral in our apartment that would work besides the tub, so we took them on a car ride to grandpa and grandmas house. They were absolutely adorable in the car, snuggling together the entire time. We brought them into my parents bathroom and they didn't seem to even acknowledge each other for the first 10 minutes. After that, the male tried to mount the female. He wasn't super aggressive about it, but she obviously was not having it! She ran away and he chased her. Eventually he gave it up, and they went back to ignoring each other. When she would run past him though, he would try to chase her again. So we ended that session there, that was about 30 min.
It is starting to get very cold here, about 35-40 on a good day, so now bonding is back at our apartment.
We have started just letting them both out in the kitchen/living room area at the same time and supervising.
Surprisingly, our male hasn't tried to hump her! He tried to chin her once, but she let him and her tail fluttered like crazy when he did. There haven't been any potty accidents and no excessive chinning on the males part. Basically what happens 90% of the time is our female will try to creep up on the male out of curiosity, and when he notices her she darts in the other direction.
Today when they were out, the male hunkered down and the female touched noses with him for a few seconds.
They have been getting along good, but definitely aren't bonded and have never fought or been aggressive towards each other. What are everyones thoughts on the way we have been going about bonding? Is this an okay way to try? Any suggestions, tips, whatever is appreciated, thanks guys

From staff reports
What turned out to be a long week was well worth it for Kim Kaufman.
The native of Clark, S.D., shot an impressive 6-under-par 66 on Monday and won the Symetra Tour's Volvik Championship at Industry Hills by four shots.
Kaufman did not make a bogey in the final round. The 54-hole tournament was scheduled to start Friday but was reduced to 36 holes because of torrential rain in Southern California. The second and final round was suspended on Sunday because of darkness and completed on Monday.
The long wait didn't appear to bother the former Texas Tech standout.
"I texted my coach early in the week," Kaufman said, "and said, 'At the end of the week they are going to hand out a check to someone,' so you have to go out there and play your best.
"It feels great that I shot 6-under. I just felt so good about my game."
Kaufman, who also won the tour's Island Resort Championship last year, moved from 41st to first on the Volvik Race for the (LPGA) Card money list.
Jennie Lee, who tied for third at last week's Visit Mesa (Ariz.) Gateway Classic, finished second at 3-under. Lee, a full-time member of the LPGA in 2011-12, is second on the money list, just $2,000 behind Kaufman.
Demi Runas and first-round Veronica Felibert tied for third at 2-under. Felibert finished with a 73 on Monday.
There was a seven-way tie for fifth at 1-under. Mike Liu, a 15-year-old and Cindy Feng (18) were in the group.

Apple files patent for hybrid wireless headphones
Gather round, it's time for another Apple patent. This time, Apple is trying to patent something that's pretty cool. They're called 'hybrid wireless headphones', and are essentially headphones that can be magnetically detached and reattached from a cable, for wireless listening functionality.
Apple has explained that its wireless headphones would be convenient during physical activity, where normal headphones would get in the way.
It's proposed that the headphones would be charged when fully attached and plugged into an iDevice.
Unlike most of the patents I see, this is one that actually has real world implications, and I can definitely see it emerging into production sometime in the near future. The trouble is, Apple has just released its Earpods, which are essentially redesigned earphones, so don't expect the standard Apple Earpods to be replaced by 'hybrid wireless headphones', but rather imagine it becoming an Apple-built accessory.

WASHINGTON, July 29 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled new sanctions against Russia on Tuesday in response to Russian aggression toward Ukraine.
Speaking from the South Lawn of the White House, Obama warned that "If Russia continues on its current path, the cost on Russia will continue to grow."
The new sanctions target three of state-owned Moscow-based banks: Bank of Moscow; Russian Agricultural Bank; and VTB Bank OAO.
A senior U.S. administration official, commenting on the additional sanctions, said that the U.S. has now imposed sanctions against five of the six largest state-owned banks in Russia.
Obama's announcement coincides with an agreement by the European Union to impose new sanctions against Russia.
"In the financial sector, the EU is cutting off certain financing to state-owned banks in Russia. In the energy sector, the EU will stop exporting specific goods and technologies to Russia, which will make it more difficult for Russia to develop its oil resources over the long term. In the defense sector, the EU is prohibiting new arms imports and exports and is halting the export of sensitive technology to Russia's military users."
A senior U.S. administration official, speaking on background, described the EU sanctions as "strong. They are significant. They represent a new step for Europe, and one that we and the European have taken together."
Obama heralded the EU's unified response to Russia as "a reminder that the United States means what it says. We will rally the international community in standing up for the rights and freedom of people around the world."
Tuesday's announced sanctions are the latest in a series of economic steps taken to isolate Russia in response to its intervention in Ukraine. When a senior U.S. administration official was asked Tuesday about the end-game for this newest round of sanctions, and whether more are in the offing, he indicated that time will tell.
"Today's step is a very substantial move by the U.S. and we will want the impact of these sanctions to sink in to judge Russia's willingness to take the path" toward de-escalation.
"We been very clear about the conditions that Russia must take" for sanctions to be eased, he said. Those steps, also referred to by the White House as the "off-ramp" option, include:
1. Recognition of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's government; 2. An end to providing weapons and arms to separatists in Ukraine; 3. Removal of Russian military forces along Ukraine's border; 4. Use of Russian influence over separatists in Ukraine to bring them into political dialogue with Poroshenko's government.
If Russia begins to take steps to de-escalate tensions, "we will continue to hold that door open," the official noted.
"If not, we have more sanction targets available to us."

April 25, 1967 R. D. LOWRY DISPENSER PACKAGE Filed May 18, 1964 United States Fatent O 3,315,801 DISPENSER PACKAGE Robert D. Lowry, Winchester, Mass., assignor to Lowry Development Corporation, Winchester, Mass., 2 corporation of Massachusetts Filed May 18, 1964, Ser. No. 367,969
7 Claims. (Cl. 206-56) This invention relates to commodity packaging and more particularly to a dispenser package for containing an individual portion or serving of a liquid or semi-liquid food, such as ketchup, mustard, salad dressing, jam, jelly, cream, tartar and other sauces, or of other such commodities, edible or otherwise. Packages of this invention may be used with any flowable material, but they are particularly adapted for use with commodities which flow more readily under applied pressure, since packages of the invention may be collapsed under pressure applied as between the thumb and fingers.
It is a particular object of the invention to provide a package which can be collapsed as by applying pressure between the thumb and fingers, to dispense the contents and which, at the same time, will, after dispensing only part of the contents through a suitable top opening, stand upright by itself so that the remainder of the contents will not spill and thus be available for further helpings.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such a package which is adapted for fabrication with its contained food serving or other commodity in a continuous automatic machine operation and which is of uncomplicated structure and few parts, so as to render the packages amenable to rapid production at low cost.
To this end, the dispensing collapsibility is provided by enclosing the commodity between the folds of an outer fairly stiff package wall which is folded medially along a straight line constituting a hingle line for a billows type squeeze-together of the outer stiff folds. The commodity is retained between the walls in a hollow pillowlike sack formed by reason of attachment of a more flexible sheet material around its marginal edge portions to at least one and preferably to both folded panels of the outer wall, forming a hermetically sealed hollow enclosure sandwiched between the folded walls of the outer stiff material.
These and other objects of the invention will be more fully understood when taken in connection with typical embodiments thereof, as shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view illustrating mechanism used in the initial formative steps of making the package;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional'view illustrating a succeeding step;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the completed pack- FIG. 4 shows the completed package after it has been opened for dispensing its contents and demonstrating its dispensing use;
FIG. 5 is cross-sectional view of a modified form of the invention at an intermediate stage of formation, and showing additionally in dotted lines a further alternative modification;
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the alternative dotted line form of package illustrated in FIG. 5 after folding;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIG. 6 of the full line FIG. 5 modification after folding; and
FIGS. 8-11, incluisve, illustrate two additional alternative forms of opening means for the packages.
Since the structure of the packages may more readily be understood by following the steps in their fabricaice tion, reference is made to FIG. 1, which shows diagrammatically a typical mechanism for making and filling packages from sheet material, being conventional in every respect save possibly for the use of a D-shaped horn 10.
Roll 12 comprises a rolled length of relatively stiff sheet material which, when unwound, supports itself in generally the same plane, for example, 3 mil cellulose acetate. Opposed roll 14 comprises a rolled length of limper material, i.e. of greater flexibility and which does not necessarily support itself, and of slightly greater width than that of the material 12, being, for example, 1 mil polythylene, polypropylene, polyester, cellulose acetate or a vinyl plastic, or laminations of any of these to each other or to a metal foil. Vacuum coated metallic deposits may be made on either or both of the materials to form linings which will render the package gas, as well as liquid, impervious when packaging volatile or oxygensensitive commodities to retain aroma or prevent spoilage. The materials are thus chosen for their particular moisture, grease or gas transmission-resistant qualities, depending upon the particular commodity being packaged. Preferably, the materials are of such nature that they can be heat-sealed together, though adhesives may be used if necessary.
Pairs of heated rollers 16 and 18, respectively, are positioned to heat-seal the longitudinal edges of the two strips 12 and '14 together as they advance downwardly through the machine to form longitudinal seals 17 and 19, respectively. Spaced below the level of the rollers 16 and 18 are opposed reciprocating heating elements 22 which are brought into contact with the descending strips to seal them transversely as at 24 at equidistant intervals.
A knife 26 severs the sheets across the middle of the transverse seals 24. The elements 22 and knife 26 operate during a dwell in an intermittent feed. Alternatively, of course, mechanisms having a continuous feed may be used or multiple side-by-side mechanisms to which multiple width single sheets 12 and 14 as simultaneously fed. Slitting knives subsequently separate the multiple side-by-side packages.
The horn 19 gives a fullness to the limper sheet material 14 so that, after the longitudinal transverse sealing at 24, the package has a pillow shaped contour as indicated at the bottom of FIG. 1. If desired, the horn 10 may be heated, particularly when the material 14 is a thermoplastic material that can be stretched under heat without rupture, in which case the material 14 need not be wider than the material 12.
The horn 10 is hollow to accommodate a feed tube leading down from a hopper 30 which is metered in a known manner to stop its feed periodically during at least a portion of the strip travel. 28 represents a fixed rod which squeezes the loose part of sheet 14 centrally against the sheet 12 after the filling operation to eliminate excess internal air, particularly when the metered portion is only a partial fill. This renders it easier to perform the next folding step.
Other mechanisms may be utilized to form the filled unfolded packages, for example, by advancing the sheet material 14 in multiple width horizontally over cavities, vacuum or pressure forming the pockets in the cavities, loading from above and then covering with multiple width sheet material 12 as it continuously advances down over the advancing loaded pockets. Such a method gives better opportunity for varying the internal shape of the pockets and for providing stiffening embossings along the seal lines.
After the individual packages are severed by the knife 26, the walls 12 and 14 are folded medially as over a mandrel 32 shown in FIG. 2, while a spot or line of adhesive 34 is interposed between the two panels or folds 36 and 38 of the inner limp sheet to hold the package in the shape shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, 40 represents one fold or panel of sheet 12, 42 the other panel, and 43 the intervening fold line with the folds 36 and 38 of limper sheet 14 sandwiched therebetween.
Because of the lateral stiffness of the package, imparted by self-supporting relatively stiff sheet 12, it may be picked up between the thumb and finger on its end edges, and then a top corner of the package along the fold line may be severed as with a pair of scissors and the package inverted to discharge the contents through the resulting opening 46, as shown in FIG. 4. If only a portion of the serving is desired, the package may then be reinverted and will stand on the bottom edges of panels 40 and 42 which act as spaced-apart feet to support the package in inverted V-shaped upright position with the single fold 43 at the top, as shown in FIG. 3.
Also, as indicated in FIG. 4, the two angularly inclined diverging panels 40 and 42 may be squeezed together about the single fold 43 to apply pressure to the contents to extrude them from the opening.
As will be understood, if in the operation of FIG. 1 the packages are wider than they are high, it may be desirable that the fold be made in a direction parallel to the line of advance through the mechanism of FIG. 1, rather than transversely thereof.
In the modifications shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, the stiffer sheet material 12a is a little more than doubled in width with respect to the width of limper material 14a so that the packaging and filling process in effect takes place on only a portion of the stiff sheet 12a with longitudinalseal 19a being at the edge of only the limper sheet 14a. When, then, the package of FIG. is folded it may be folded along the medial line A of sheet 12a to create a structure as shown in FIG. 7, wherein the pod or pillow container is attached solely to one panel 40a of the folded stiffer sheet. The adhesive 34a then is interposed between panel 42a and sheet 14a.
The dotted lines in FIG. 5 show an alternative structure wherein the limp sheet material 14b is slightly more than half the width of the stiff sheet material 12a. When the fold line is therefore made along A, the package resembles that shown in cross-section in FIG. 6, one longitudinal seal 19b being located as shown in FIG. 6.
In both cases cutting or tearing the outer fold will expose the contents, since the fold line is closely adjacent one of the marginally sealed edge portions of the limper sheet.
Instead of relying upon cutting or severing with an external instrument, the roll 12 of sheet material may have dispensing holes, slits or lines of perforations preformed in sheet :12 along or near the subsequent fold lines A and covered with strips of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape which act as closures for the dispensing openings until removed by the user. Or, opening tabs of any desired size or shape may be incorporated into the package, examples of which are shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG 8 shows a tab 50 of a material which is adhered to the stiff sheet either with an adhesive which is stronger than the material itself, or by heat sealing, so when the tab 50 is pulled downwardly, it will rupture the underlying sheet material. Such rupture is aided by shaping the dies used to attach tab 50 in such manner as to pinch the sheet material 12 at or near the edges of the tab to weaken the structure in this area and allow it to rupture when the tab is lifted. Thus in FIG. the die 60 has two sharp edges 61 and 62 for this urpose.
In the example shown in FIGS. 9 and 11, a fabric tab '70 is securely embedded and amalgamated into the sheet material 12 between hot dies 72, so then when the tab is stripped upwardly from the material, it will tear the material and cause a hole to be made therein.
These removable closure attaching operations can readily be performed on sheet material 12 before or as it is being fed to the package forming mechanism, as may other desirable operations, such as printing, embossing or other form-changing appearance or strengthening operations.
What is claimed is:
1. A collapsible dispenser package containing a flowable commodity comprising two opposed sheets of material, one of said sheets being relatively stiff and the other of said shets being limper, said sheets being hermetically sealed together around the marginal edge portions of the limper sheet with a fullness in said limper sheet to form a hollow enclosure between said sheets said stiffer sheet being folded medially along a single fold line to sandwich said limper sheet between augularly inclined panels of said folded stiffer sheet diverging away from said fold and terminating in spaced-apart edges forming feet for supporting said package in inverted V-shaped configuration with said single fold at the top of said package, and a flowable commodity contained within said hollow enclosure, said :panels being movable together about the fold line as a hinge to collapse said package and extrude said commodity through an opening made near said fold line.
2. A dispenser package as claimed in claim 1, having means adjacent said fold line for rupturing said stiffer wall adjacent said fold line to create an aperture in said package for flowing discharge of said contents through said aperture upon squeezing said panels together.
3. A dispenser package as claimed in claim 1, wherein all the marginal edge portions of the limper wall are sealed to one only of said folded stiffer wall panels.
4. A dispenser package as claimed in claim 1, wherein the stiffer Wall is folded along a line closely adjacent a marginal edge portion of the limper sheet.
5. A dispenser package as claimed in claim 1, having tab means attached to said stiffer wall adjacent the fold line of said panels for rupturing said wall ot form an opening through which said commodity may be dispensed.
6. A dispenser package as claimed in claim 1, having an adhesive adhering the folded panels of the limper sheet together to retain the stiffer sheet panels from unfolding from their angularly inclined folded configuration diverging away from said fold.
7. A dispenser package as claimed in claim 1, wherein said opposed sheets are substantially co-extensive and are both folded substantially medially.

Although the Q Television Network recently tanked due to its inability to secure funding, owing some $7.6 million to vendors and employees, Here!, the country's first gay television network, established in 2002, is now beaming into 50 million households nationwide. It is offered by most major cable providers as a subscription video-on-demand service, as well as via satellite and broadband. Here! Interactive Media, its online division, enjoys more than 2 million visitors a month to sites like GayWired.com, GayMonkey.com, LesbiaNation.com, and GaySports.com.
Logo, owned by Viacom's MTV division, is celebrating its first anniversary and reaches more than 19 million homes. Unlike QTN and Here!, Logo is advertiser-supported and has struck deals with DirecTV, Charter Communications, Adelphia, Cablevision, Time Warner Cable of New York, and RCN to carry the network for free. Logo senior vice president and general manager Lisa Sherman says, "We've exceeded all expectations we had for the channel, with an enormous library of films and series, and have signed over 50 world-class advertisers. Logo is providing LGBT audiences a home base, whether online, air, or channel."
Sherman herself is gay and says her employees include both gays and nongays: "We have a very diverse team who are all very committed to delivering great product." Logo's programming includes a 10-hour Gay Pride "Madonnathon," and Sherman points to Noah's Arc, the channel's first scripted series: "We're very proud that our first scripted series reflects the lives of African-American men, which we really don't hear a lot about. There's a new series with the comedian Ant, U.S. of Ant, which dispels the notion that gay people only live in New York or Los Angeles. He goes on the road looking for gays in Mississippi, Alabama, and North Carolina, with amazingly warm and funny stories. CBS News on Logo is one of the franchises that we're very proud of, bringing daily, relevant news to our audience."
Diversity is indeed alive and well in the LGBT community, which often leads to healthy dissent. Enter Ann Northrop, veteran producer and host of the nationally syndicated cable news show Gay USA, which airs Thursday nights at 11 p.m. on Channel 57 (Time Warner) and Channel 109 (RCN). Says Northrup, "My co-host, Andy Humm, started this over 20 years ago with Lou Maletta on leased access, which is the channel available for people to buy time on, which is even more public than public access because you don't have to go through any screening process. If you've got the money, you can buy the time. But then Lou got tired and cranky and decided he didn't want to do it anymore. We got viewer contributions to help us stay on the air, and then [producer] Barry Z said he wanted to pay the costs, before he got cranky. Then, three years ago, Manhattan Neighborhood Network invited us to come over to public access. They offered the show to Free Speech TV," a publicly supported nonprofit channel, founded in 1995 and devoted to progressive social change, diversity, and covering perspectives ignored by the mass media. FSTV "put us on cable systems around the country and on the Dish network, a national satellite service, as well as podcast."
What does she think of Logo? It's "one of the biggest wastes of money I've seen in a long time," Northrop says. "It's tragic how they're missing an opportunity to do intelligent programming. I knew when this was coming out of MTV/Viacom that this was going to be a homogenized, commercial thing to make the most money, but I think they're missing the boat completely: movies that run 9,000 times a month that everyone's already seen, very little original programming, mostly appalling." She is particularly unimpressed with the network's foray into her own bailiwick: "The worst part of it is the so-called 'news connection.' Someone got the bright idea to install a hookup with CBS News, which is also a Viacom company, and the problem is that they then become a function of a network news department that really doesn't know anything about gay stuff. I was on a panel with their gay anchor, Jason Bellini, and I asked him if they were going to cover gay marriage using their experience as gay people. He told me, 'Oh, no, we're neutral.' Logo prides itself on being neutral, which means that they're not pro-gay. One of their news cut-ins was two minutes about Angelina Jolie being pregnant. How can you waste those resources? With literally nothing, my co-host and I put on a news show every week which I like to think benefits from our experience and ability to analyze and discuss. You don't see any of that on Logo, and they have all the money in the world."
Northrop and Humm are facing their own woes with the possible demise of cable access channels. No, it's not the threat of censorship by the religious right, but telephone companies lobbying for bills that would allow them into the business: They want to start providing television services but don't want to be bound by the same local franchising agreements that obligate cable TV companies. As Humm wrote in Gay City News in May, "Under the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement (COPE) Act of 2006, the phone companies would be able to establish national franchises, bypassing the local franchising process entirely…. Across the nation, this will be the end of what is called PEG TV—public access TV, educational access TV that allows for long-distance learning in isolated regions of the country, and governmental access TV that cablecasts local public hearings and meetings. The COPE bill also contains two other sinister provisions. One ends 'Net Neutrality' and allows Internet service providers like AOL to prioritize emails based on the sender's willingness to pay. Another lets cable TV providers redline low-income communities that they believe would be less profitable to serve."
Northrop says that people have asked if she and Humm applied for jobs at Logo, whose target audience Sherman describes as 21 to 54. Northrop replies, "Are you kidding? They don't want us. They want young, buff boys! I don't agree with that marketing strategy—I certainly understand it—but what could be more predictable and stereotypical? Andy and I are a couple of gray-hairs in our 50s who couldn't be more idiosyncratic and cranky, but we have people all over the country, since we're now nationwide, telling us they adore the show—straight, gay, young, and old. This middle-aged black mechanic in a bike shop recently pulled me aside to tell me how much he likes the show, which warms my little heart!"
Dissent aside, there's no doubting the success of Logo's Noah's Arc, for which creator Patrik-Ian Polk independently shot a pilot episode back in 2004. Now filming the show's second season in Vancouver, Canada, Polk says, "I took [the pilot] on a 26-city promotional tour of film festivals, with a plan to do it as a straight-to-DVD series. MTV was just developing Logo and interested in originally scripted programming, and they picked us up."
Noah's Arc is the most popular show on Logo, as measured by the number of hits its website receives. Its fan base includes everyone from its target audience of black gays to straight women. "They're just crazy about the show, follow it religiously, watch it multiple times, and there are fan sites and Yahoo! groups," says Polk. He was hesitant about moving his location to Vancouver, but says, "It's worked out, with a great crew, and it looks amazing. We're really working hard to raise the bar of the show in every way, and I'm excited about the scripts and some exciting additions to our cast: Keith Hamilton Cobb and Victoria Rowell from The Young and the Restless, Rachel True, Rockmond Dunbar, and Raz B from the singing group B2K. There's that dramatic, soapy element to the show, so it's hard to tease your readers without giving away too much plot, but from the very first scene of our new season to the last finale, we will continue to surprise and, hopefully, shock."
Asked about the "down low" theme of closeted gay men that recurs on the show, Polk says, "It's the naturally flamboyant gay man who's a lot more courageous than the hypermasculine closeted guy. They're not terribly interesting: It's cowardice, and I think to a certain extent we glorify that lifestyle, even in the black gay community. There's a mystique and appeal, still finding that whole persona very attractive—and it's just not [attractive] to me. That stuff comes up on the show, but I'm not exploring it in a way that glorifies it. [We] treat it in a very critical manner."
Polk feels that sexuality is a very tricky issue, and not everyone is comfortable about coming out, "but my hope is by having shows like mine with people who are out and proud, people will start to learn by example. My biggest gripe is that the media has hyped it to such a degree. Men living double lives is nothing new, but now they have this term to stick on black men who are closeted. White guys have been doing it forever, but that label gets put on black men, and I find it really annoying."
Polk's advice to aspiring LGBT filmmakers is "be true to yourself as an artist. I started Noah's Arc because I was feeling frustrated knocking on Hollywood doors. I'd had Punks, a hit film at Sundance—every independent filmmaker's dream. But being a black gay film, it didn't open doors the same way as it would had it been a white gay film or hetero. That was a little disheartening, but rather than wallow in it, I decided to take control of the situation and do something I was passionate about. It wasn't about trying to pitch it to networks, because in my wildest dreams I never thought any network would do a black gay TV series. It was very grass-roots, taking it to the Web and streets—directly to the audience. Hollywood heard the noise and came a-callin', totally unexpected, but everything worked out. Hollywood is a tough nut to crack. You can spend a lot of time spinning wheels, chasing trends. And now I'm happy to be hearing about new projects: These young filmmakers are doing something called The DL Chronicles"—a TV series produced and directed by Deondray Gossett and Quincy Le Near, which premiered at L.A.'s Outfest, about a journalist researching a book about men who sleep with men, known as MSM, and live secret, sexually duplicitous lifestyles. "And there's another one called Christopher Street these New York guys are doing, about a younger group of gay 20-something kids."
The gay film festivals at which Polk showed the Noah's Arc pilot continue to be vital outlets for new projects. But with cable channels and video stores constantly offering new product, Basil Tsiokos, director of the just-wrapped NewFest, New York's largest LGBT film festival, still gets asked whether the festivals are really relevant now. "We get that every year," he says. "It's a ludicrous question that nobody necessarily believes but feel they have to ask. Even though we love working with Logo, Here!, Sundance Channel, etc., they can only show a handful of films. We will always have more films to show than they're able to, because of rights issues, content, marketability. Plus, there's something about watching a film in a communal, celebratory environment with other film lovers and gay people—that will never be lost, no matter how bifurcated the market becomes—that is preferable to a semi-solitary viewing experience. Brokeback Mountain absolutely was to some extent a touchstone moment—for that film to break through [from] segregated audiences and reach the masses. Most films for a niche audience are never going to achieve that kind of success, but it did draw attention to a gay cinema that has always been there."
One film Tsiokos was especially proud of showing was Camp Out, Larry Grimaldi and Kirk Marcolina's documentary about the first-ever overnight gay Christian youth camp; it focuses on 10 LGBT youths, ages 15–17. "The gay audience was very accepting of it, and straight audiences should really see that story for what it said about this kind of impact on youth," Tsiokos says. "It helped to sort of draw a line to remind people that it's not so much us versus them—those gay Republican Christians. It's not all one-sided; there has to be a place in our community for all voices to be heard."
Queer filmmakers everywhere are doing it for themselves, like Peter Paige of Queer as Folk. Proving that there's definitely life after the series, Paige wrote, directed, produced, and stars in Say Uncle, which opens June 23 in Los Angeles and June 30 in New York. He plays Paul, a rather confused gay artist searching for love. But it isn't the usual woe-is-me-it's-so-hard-to-find-a-decent-guy-in-the-city search. Paul loves little children—not in a carnal way, but in a nanny/playmate fashion—and this affection lands him in hot water when he is suspected of being a pedophile.
"Around season three of Queer as Folk, I wanted to do something different," says Paige, "so I dragged out this old script I'd been toying with for two years and thought there was something here. I sent it to some producer friends, and about a year and two months later we were shooting. It's been a couple of years since then, and now we're coming out, so I'm very happy. I hesitate about calling it autobiographical in any way, because I don't have any kind of unnatural thing for children. Although I love children, I'm a lot more in touch with the reality of how things get perceived than Paul."
Paige says the film addresses one gay man's experience to explore universal themes: "The film is as much about what it might be being a person of Middle Eastern descent in this day and age, as much as [it's about] a gay man who likes children. It's a precautionary tale about how quick we are to judge someone, and how regularly we're told to be afraid of each other, how hysterical our society has become. Every day, you turn on the news and it's something else: the mailman, foreigners, mercury in the fish, mad cow disease. We're so frightened that we aren't really present in our own lives anymore." The directing bug has bit Paige bad, and he is currently developing two other scripts, as well as a "dream role" that he's hesitant to detail due to rights issues.
Another gay actor-turned-auteur, Craig Chester, describes the thrill of traveling the world with his film Adam & Steve: "I took it to Barcelona; Cardiff, Wales; Texas; saw it with so many different kinds of audiences, and their reactions were amazingly all pretty much the same. It was always fun to see the 'big moment,' when Malcolm Gets has diarrhea: people screaming in the balcony. But there are little moments when people come up to you, like some guy in tears at the end because he appreciated the fact that nobody died and it was sort of uplifting. A lot of people responded to that. John Waters, who was such a big inspiration to me and whose irreverence I strived to recapture, was in one of my audiences. He tried to help us with it, called New Line. And to see it at the Castro Theatre [in San Francisco] with Armistead Maupin and hear him laughing so loud. When your gay heroes give you the thumbs up, those are moments I'll remember my whole life."
I attended an early reading of the script of Adam & Steve almost four years ago, when Chester was trying to attract backers. "We had that cliché of lots of false starts," he says, "but once it got going, it was fine. We were the first gay film released right after Brokeback Mountain, and we had the biggest theatrical release of any low-budget gay film ever. We broke records that weekend, opening in 17 cities, where most small gay movies only open in L.A. and New York. That had never been done before, and was due to TLA Releasing, who picked us up."
Being in front of as well as behind the camera was nerve-wracking for Chester: He had to be not only the last person on the set at night and the first one there in the morning, but look good for the lens, too: "There are scenes in which I see myself and think how exhausted I look! Our second day of shooting was the diarrhea scene, with a crew of mostly straight guys going, 'What kind of movie is this?' We're all naked and running around, doing coke, and Malcolm Gets has diarrhea and I'm throwing up. I remember thinking, 'This is surreal. I can't believe people are actually acting out things that were in my head all these years.' "
Chester is currently in Los Angeles, researching his next project, a film about Montgomery Clift. "I've been talking to a lot of people who knew him," he says. "His two biographies in the 1970s basically laid his pathology on his being gay: 'He was alcoholic because he was a self-loathing gay man.' What we know now is you can be alcoholic and be gay, straight, rich, or poor. What I'm finding out is that he was just the opposite of [a self-loathing gay man]. He was as in your face about being gay as one could be at the time. He never lived in L.A., never got married like Rock Hudson or had these phony hetero relationships. He's kind of like the opposite of what he's gone down in history as. That's been amazing to find out, that he had long-term boyfriends, with whom I've spoken."
Northrop, who has been on the scene longer than any of my interviewees, is—as curmudgeonly as she may be—hopeful for the future: "You have this soap opera, As the World Turns, with a teenaged boy coming out, and the interesting thing is that his mother is the only one having any problem with it. Everybody else—his father and friends—are saying, 'If that's who you are, great!' A few years ago, everybody would have freaked out and it would have been a much more horrendous experience. After Brokeback, what we're seeing is slowly but surely advancing along that track of normalization.
"I just looked at the local news coverage today of the New York State Court of Appeals argument on gay marriage. The local news is playing it up quite big, which surprised me. It's not a decision, it's just an argument, but they seem to be quite straightforward about reporting the argument, pros and cons, and what's likely to happen. Everyone has just advanced another few inches in their understanding of this stuff. They're a little more sophisticated than they used to be, and I think it's just a gradual, inevitable process, which happens to be happening in our lifetime, which makes us kind of lucky."

Does your 5 yr old wipe themselves when they go #2?
Posted by + Show Post
Dd5 still call me to wipe her when she goes #2 and I don't know how to teach her how to wipe. I've tried to show her and explain it to her but she says her arms aren't long enough, lol! When she does try she never gets herself clean. Does anyone else have this problem?? Ill be so glad when I can get through my dinner without hearing "mom I'm done come wipe me."
Replies (51-54):
My son had a hard time wiping until clean so we have flushable wipes on the back of the toilet. I also send a pack of wipes in his backpack just in case & we have no issues at all. You can get wipes in the same aisles as toilet paper but make sure that what you get is flushable!
Posted on CafeMom Mobile
She doesn't go at school at all, she waits until she gets home. I made her wipe herself last night and she whined and cried forever before she wold try and then she used so much toilet paper that she clogged the toilet! But she got the job done!
Yeah, we have problems here too....working on teaching my 4 year old but the arms just dont reach well. We use flushable wipes and that helps some.
