This is my first ever piece of Liberty Linford Fleece and it feels so snuggly. Oh so cosy! The print is Saxby and is from the Liberty Art Fabrics Collection AW 14. The design was inspired by the decorative bird life at Mount Stuart in Scotland, in particular the parrots in the drawing room. To design the print, the birds were painted onto canvas in a loose, free style, and then merged to create a rich feather texture.When I bought this piece I really didn't know what I was going to do with it. I don't really sew that much in fleece (although I also have another piece of Liberty Linford Fleece so watch this space!), but inspiration struck and I've sewn up a dress. I probably could have just sewn it up as a Coco, but instead I pulled out my hacked Kanerva I used to make my frocktails dress and used that as the base. It is a medium/heavyweight with no significant stretch so I sewed it up with the darts and everything.
FINISHED! Snuggly Saxby Dress
I bought 1.5 m of Saxby (colourway B) Liberty Linford Fleece from the Workroom back in the middle of winter here and because it took a little while to come all the way from Canada, once it arrived, I had moved onto Spring sewing. Funnily enough with temperatures in the mid to late 30's on Friday, I became 'winter inspired' again and decided my next project was going to be to cut into my precious fleece. It's not all madness as we are off to France for 6 weeks in December, so my mind has turned momentarily to what I should make/pack for the trip and today the temperature plummeted so it was perfect weather to sew up a cosy outfit.
FINISHED! Ciara Marthe Blouse
The new Republique du Chiffon pattern, the Marthe Blouse was released last week and it quickly sky rocketed to the top of my sewing list. I adore the lose peplum style and while it is not dissimilar to the top I made from Liberty Wildflowers a few months ago, which had turned into one of my most worn tops, I thought the raglan sleeves might add interest and I was interested in making a top that had a higher neck. I was taken in with the line drawing and the fabulous photos.
I chose a Liberty that I had in the stash, which I bought on a bit of a whim when the latest collection was released called Ciara C. The Ciara design was originally for a scarf in 1969 and has been recently redesigned for the Classic collection.The pattern only comes in pdf, which is fine by me and the pattern is in French, but don't let that stop you as there are plenty of pictures and this is a very simple pattern, so I didn't always use the instructions. Like all the RdC patterns, it is necessary to add seam allowance.
The pattern back is cut in two pieces and the pattern calls for either an invisible zip or a button at the neck. Given the closure requirement (and the line drawing), I was expecting that the neckline would be much higher, thus requiring a button, but on trying it on I realised that the neck was wide and definitely did not require any fussing around with closures. I simply sewed up the back seam. Unfortunately while I didn't need the closure this meant that the neck was not at all what I was hoping for. I really wanted it to be a smaller round neck which would act as a contrast to the volume. Oh well, it's not bad how it is, just not what I had wanted.
I sewed the arm seams up a little smaller to try and take some width out of neckline. I also took an inch and a half out of the length of the bodice, bringing the skirt seam up. I really like where that sits. I took about 2 inches off the length of the sleeves but I find myself wanting to push my sleeves up even more so perhaps I should have made them just a tad shorter.
Rather than gather the 'skirt' traditionally using 2 or threads, I used my overlocker. This worked ok, but I think I'll be going back to the gathering method next time.While I hate pulling those threads I feel as if the gathers look a bit pleated on this make.Have you been participating in Amanda's #bpSewvember on instagram? It has been so much fun and there is still more than half of November to go! I The other day we had to do our #favouritefinish and Jillian said her favourite finish is a Woo Hoo finish. What a great interpretation. Sadly, while this is a fun make, the fabric is fab and I'll wear this during summer with my Iris shorts, it isn't exactly the woo hoo finish I was hoping for. C'est la vie!
FINISHED! A dress for race day
This was supposed to be a fun post about the dress I made and wore for Melbourne Cup day. Australians all know the Cup, but for those of you not in Australia, this horse race really does 'stop the nation'! Almost everyone watches the race. Workplaces (that still work on this day -Victorians get the day off) usually have some form of lunch and then all crowd around a tv (or mobile phone!) to watch the race at 3pm. I love the day. I always make a special effort for work, wear something fun, don a fascinator, have a glass of champagne and always buy too many entries in a sweep thinking that I'm going to win and never do. Unfortunately yesterday was marred after two of the horses died after this years race, so I have been torn as to whether or not to share this dress, but I have decided to share it. I'm sorry if it offends anyone.

I have used this pattern many times, here, here, here, here and here, Phew That's a lot of times! It is originally a top pattern, but this is the second time that I have lengthened it into a short dress.

Biaxially oriented low cost polyolefin bottles of improved optical clarity, gloss, and strength, and useful for packaging materials such as liquid detergents, shampoos, pharmaceuticals and intravenous solutions, are prepared by stretch blow molding polypropylene homopolymer co-polymer and allomer parisons or preforms which are formed from low temperature melts at temperatures just above the melting points of the polymers and allomers, and are injected at constant rates against cold polished mold surfaces at relatively low pressures and at slow rates to avoid melt fractures. Melt temperatures of from 490° to 700° F. are preferred for polypropylene blow mold type polymers and allomers. Polished beryllium copper mold surfaces are desired for high luster gloss finishes. Mold temperatures of from 30° to 80° F. are preferred. Injection molding with a high compression ratio of 3 to 3.5 for insuring a homogeneous melt is preferred with a relatively slow injection rate to fil the mold cavity of about 3 to 10 seconds. The low temperature molding limits the size and increases the number of spherulites that form as the melt cools and solidifies thus minimizing crystallinity in the parison. The low mold temperatures provide faster molding cycles, increasing production and reducing costs but the injection rate is sufficiently slow to avoid melt fracture. The strength blow molding is preferably conducted at temperatures just below the amorphous flow temperature of the parison with temperatures of about 295° F. being sufficient for the polypropylene copolymer and about 325° F. below satisfactory for the polypropylene homopolymer.
1. A method for making a blow-molded clear polypropylene bottle; comprising working and heating crystalline polypropylene so as to form a melt, causing a sample of said melt to fall and while falling determining the appearance of the sample, controlling said working and heating so as to provide said melt with a temperature not substantially higher than causes said sample to change from a cloudy appearance to a clear appearance, flowing said melt while at said temperature onto a polished cold surface having a temperature no higher than room temperature so as to form a parison, said melt being flowed at a rate slower than one causing said melt to fracture during said flowing, allowing said parison to cool so as to solidify and removing it from said cold surface, heating said parison to a stretch blow molding temperature just below its amorphous flow temperature and no higher than the minimum permitting stretch blow molding of the parison, placing the parison in a stretch blow molding die having a temperature no higher than room temperature and having a cavity shaped to form said bottle, the cavity having a bottom for forming the bottle's bottom, and stretch blow molding the parison by stretching it first completely to the cavity's said bottom while at the same time blowing the parison only so as to cause it to only partially fit said cavity, and only thereafter completely blowing the parison so as to cause it to completely fit said cavity and form said bottle, and removing the bottle from said cavity.
This invention relates to the art of making clear biaxially oriented containers, such as bottles, from low cost blow mold polypropylene polymer formulations under controlled conditions which enhance the clarity and gloss of the finished container. Specifically the invention deals with the production of biaxially oriented polypropylene bottles of exceptional clarity, gloss and strength.
Stretch blow molding of crystalline polymer and allomer formulations to produce biaxially oriented bottles is known in the art but heretofore known techniques have not been able to produce clear, transparent, gloss finish bottles from relatively low cost polypropylene formulations. Low cost blow mold polymer and allomer formulations have heretofore only provided opaque or cloudy bottles and even the more expensive formulations have not produced fully satisfactory clear transparent bottles with long shelf life.
It would therefore be an improvement in the art to produce clear, transparent, gloss finish, strong bottles with satisfactory shelf life from low cost polypropylene formulations.
According to this invention clear, transparent, gloss finish, strong containers, such as bottles, are produced from low cost crystalline polypropylene, homopolymer, copolymer and allomer formulations by stretch blow molding parisons molded from low temperature melts on low temperature mold surfaces at rates which are slow enough to avoid melt fracture. The parisons are stretch blow molded at temperatures just below the amorphous blow temperature of the plastics material under conditions which will biaxially orient the plastics material. The melt temperatures for producing the parisons are kept at the lowest levels that will produce a complete and clear melt. The clear melt is molded on polished mold surfaces, preferably by injection molding, and these mold surfaces are kept at low temperatures.
A simple test to determine the clarity of the parison melt is to conduct an "air shot" of releasing molten material from an injection unit and observing its clarity as it flows to the floor since the cooled molded parison will not be clear even though it produces clear bottles according to this invention.
According to a preferred embodiment of this invention, a crystalline high density polypropylene blow mold formulation of the type readily available on the market, is heated to just above its crystalline melting point where it will flow freely. Melt temperatures of from 490° to 700° F. are useful with the lowest temperatures within this range being selected to lie just above the melting point index for the formulation. The melt is preferably formed in an injection unit which will discharge the molten polypropylene through a nozzle into a cold mold having polished mold surfaces forming a cylindrical round bottom relatively thick parison of a generally test tube configuration. Heaters in the injection unit maintain the polypropylene just above its melting point index temperature and, from time to time, to check the sufficiency of the temperature for producing a clear melt, the nozzle of the injection unit is withdrawn from the mold and a sample of the melt is allowed to drain out of the nozzle for a determination as to its clarity. If the molten mass leaving the nozzle is cloudy, the temperature of the injection unit is raised just sufficiently to produce a clear melt.
The mold receiving the melt from the injection unit is preferably formed in two parts with a cylindrical core having a rounded end and a cylindrical molding cavity surrounding the core with a sprue opening to the nozzle of the injection unit. The core and cavity forming portions of the mold are kept relatively cool at room temperature and preferably about 30° to 80° F. The mold surfaces are highly polished and are preferably formed of good heat conducting metal such as beryllium copper.
The injection rate to fill the mold cavity is relatively slow to avoid "melt fracture" or shearing of the molecules. Injection times of from 3 to 10 seconds are desirable.
The parison is stripped from the mold, cooled, then reheated uniformly to temperatures of about 5° to 10° F. below its amorphous or flow temperature. Temperatures of about 295° F. for polypropylene copolymer and about 325° F. for polypropylene homopolymer are sufficient. The heated parison is then mounted in an inverted position on the swage plug of a stretch blow molding machine surrounding the stretch rod of the machine. The mold is then closed to clamp the open end of the parison forming a threaded neck. The stretch rod is then extended to push against the closed end of the parison, fluid is blown into the parison, and the unclamped portions of the parison are stretched axially and radially into confirmity with the mold cavity thus producing a bottle of the desired contour.
The parison can also be formed from the polypropylene melt by extrusion around a cooled core through a cooled die forming an open end tubular rod. Then the stretch blow molding is carried out on apparatus which will pull the rod and pinch the top end of the parison to a closed or sealed end whereupon the blow molding will progress the same as with an injection molding closed end parison.
Examples of suitable commercial stretch blow molding high density crystalline homo- and copolymer formulations are:

It should be understood, however, that other commercially available homo- and copolymer polypropylene blow mold grade resins are useful and that allomer formulations are also useful.
It is then an object of this invention to produce clear transparent glossy biaxially oriented polypropylene bottles.
A further object of the invention is to provide a method of increasing the clarity of biaxially oriented polypropylene containers.
A further object of this invention is to improve stretch blow molding processes of making polypropylene material bottles and other containers from parisons which are molded from melts just above the melting point of the polypropylene material, molded on cold polished surfaces, and then stretch blow molded at temperatures just below the amorphous flow temperature of the plastics material.
A specific object of this invention is to provide a method of making polypropylene bottles of enhanced clarity and gloss by careful control of melt temperatures, mold temperatures, and injection rates in forming the parisons for the bottles.
Another specific object of this invention is to provide a method of making parisons for biaxially oriented polypropylene bottles which are injection molded at temperatures just high enough to insure no melt fracture and lying in the range from 490° to 700° F. into cold highly polished molds maintained at temperatures from about 30° to 80° F. at relatively slow flow rates of from 3 to 7 seconds.
Other and further objects of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in this art from the following detailed description of the annexed sheets of drawings which show a preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bottle according to this invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an injection molded parison made according to this invention for producing the bottle of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view along the line III--III of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a somewhat diagrammatic longitudinal sectional view of an injection molding assembly for producing parisons according to this invention;
FIG. 5 is a somewhat diagrammatic vertical cross-sectional view of stretch blow mold apparatus used to produce the bottles of this invention showing a start up position with the parison of FIGS. 2 and 3 in place;
FIG. 6 is a view of the apparatus of FIG. 5 showing the mold closed on the parison;
FIG. 7 is a view similar to FIGS. 5 and 6 showing the stretch rod fully extended and the bottle partially blown;
FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIGS. 5 to 7 showing the bottle fully blown; and
FIG. 9 is a view similar to FIGS. 5 to 8 but showing the stretch rod and swage of the apparatus in a down position with the bottle decompressing in the mold.
The bottle 10 of FIG. 1 has a concave bottom 11, a cylindrical main sidewall 12, a conical upper portion 13, and a cylindrical upstanding thickened externally threaded neck 14 on the convergent end of the portion 13. The bottle can be of any desired size or shape with sizes of from 1/2 to 4 liters being very useful. The wall thickness need only be on the order of 15 to 30 mils with the neck portion 14, however, being much thicker and rigid to support a pressure retaining screw type cap. Thus, the neck may be many times the thickness of the main wall and the conical portion 13 may be gradually thickened as it approaches the neck.
The bottles of this invention have a transparency of from 90 to almost 100 percent, a haze of only about 2 to 8 percent and a high gloss finish of from about 35 to 80 percent. Haze is measured according to ASTM Standard D1003 while gloss is measured at temperatures of 45° F. at ASTM Standard D2457. Transparency is measured in terms of the total light passing through the bottle.
The bottles 10 are inert to the contents packaged therein and have a long shelf life. Tensile break strengths of from about 10,000 to over 16,000 pounds per square inch are obtained. The concave base 11 is also preferably substantially thicker than the sidewall on the order of 2 to 3 times the thickness of the sidewall.
The parison 15 of FIGS. 2 and 3 has a hemispherical bottom 16, a cylindrical sidewall 17 and an open circular mouth 18. The bottom 16 and sidewall 17 are relatively thick on the order of about 0.16 inches. A preferred parison will have an internal diameter of about 1 inch, an external diameter of about 1.35 inches, and an overall length of about 4.3 inches.
As shown in FIG. 4, the parison 15 is formed in an injection molding unit 20 having a barrel 21 fed by an inlet hopper 22 and ejecting the melt through a round nose nozzle 23. The barrel 21 rotatably mounts a melting and mixing screw 24 with a non-return valve nose 25. Heater bands 26 are provided in the barrel 21. Crystalline polypropylene stretch blow mold formulations are fed through the hopper 22 into the barrel 21 where they are advanced by the melting and mixing screw 24 to a molten condition at the valve end 25 whereupon the screw is advanced to the dotted line position where the valve nose 25 will force the molten material through the nozzle orifice 27.
The apparatus 20 includes a two-part mold 30 with a first core part 31 and a second molding cavity defining part 32. The part 31 has a cylindrical core 33 with a hemispherical end 34. The part 32 has a cylindrical molding cavity 35 with a hemispherical bottom end 36 fed by a sprue hole 37. The end wall of the part 32 has a recess 38 receiving the rounded nose of the nozzle 23.
With the apparatus in the position of FIG. 4 the molten plastics material ahead of the valve 25 is ejected through the orifice 27 by moving the screw rod to the dotted line position. The molten material will flow through the sprue 37 into the mold cavity around the core 33.
According to this invention the speed of rotation of the screw 24 and the temperature of the heaters 26 are so adjusted as to melt the plastics material from the hopper 22 just above the melting index temperature of the formulation so that molten plastics material ahead of the valve 25 will be in a clear condition. To test the clarity of the melt, the injection unit 20 and the mold 30 are separated and the screw 24 is pushed toward the end of the barrel to eject a sample of molten plastic out of the nozzle orifice 27 permitting it to drain by gravity. A sighting of the clarity of the plastic as it drains will show the operator whether the melt is sufficiently free flowing without being overheated to form a parison which can produce the bottles of the invention.
The surface of the core 33 and the molding cavity surfaces 35 and 36 are highly polished and are maintained relatively cool as by radiation or internal cooling if necessary. Polished beryllium copper is a desired mold metal since it has excellent heat transfer properties and will take a high polish. Mold temperatures of from 30° to 80° F. are desired.
Melt temperatures of the plastics material flowing through the orifice 27 into the sprue 37 are carefully controlled to be just slightly above the melting point index of the formulations fed from the hopper 32 with temperatures in the range of 490° to 700° F. being satisfactory for polypropylene stretch blow mold formulations. These temperatures are sufficiently above the crystalline melt temperature to avoid melt fractures during injection and are sufficiently below the temperatures which will degrade the plastics formulation.
The injection rate is relatively slow, being on the order of from 3 to 10 seconds to fill the mold cavity.
Upon solidification of the parison 15 in the mold 30, the mold is opened by withdrawing the part 31 from the part 32, the parison is stripped from the mold, and is uniformly heated to a temperature just below its amorphous flow temperature, with temperatures of from 5° to 10° F. below the amorphous flow temperature being desired.
Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the uniformly heated parison 15 is placed in a stretch blow mold apparatus 40 in an inverted position with its open end 13 resting on a platform 41 on a base 42 surrounding a reciprocal swage 43. The parison freely receives the retracted end of the stretch rod 44 of the apparatus 40. The split molding dies 45 of the apparatus 40 are in an opened condition and have threaded neck forming wall portions 46, tapered cone forming portions 47, cylindrical main body forming portions 48 and concave bottom forming portions 49.
From the open position of FIG. 5 the apparatus 40 is closed to the position of FIG. 6 with the mold halves 45 coming together and with the swage 43 extended into the open end of the parison so that the neck and thread forming portions 46 of the die can mold the thick neck 14 of the bottle on the parison. The projection of the swage 43 into the position of FIG. 6 also moves the stretch rod 44 against the closed end 16 of the parison.
From the position of FIG. 6 the apparatus 40 is further activated to eject the stretch rod 44 beyond the swage 43 into closely spaced relation from the bottom forming portion 49 of the dies 45 thereby effecting a stretching of the parison 15 to the full height of the dies. At the same time a blowing agent is introduced into the parison forming an axially elongated and a hoop stretched balloon end 50 in the closed die.
The balloon 50 is then blown into the finished bottle shape 10 as shown in FIG. 8 with the plastics material biaxially stretched to produce the strong product.
Finally, as shown in FIG. 9, the stretch rod 44 and the swage 43 are retracted from the bottle 10, the gas pressure in the bottle is released, and the dies 45 are separated back to the position of FIG. 5 and the bottle is removed.
The preferred stretch mold cycle has a radial stretch ratio of about 2.4:1; an axial stretch ratio of about 2.2:1; a blow pressure of 250 PSI; a mold temperature of 55° F. and a hold time in the mold of about 4.75 seconds.
The following examples illustrate preferred specific details of the above described blow molding processes for producing clear, transparent, glossy bottles from polypropylene parisons produced from low temperature melts as described above.
A Biaxomat blow mold machine known commercially as Model "Mark VI-2" was set up to produce 32 oz bottles. Parisons of "REXENE" polypropylene copolymer having a diameter of about 1.5 inches, a height of about 4.3 inches and a thickness of about 0.16 inches were used. These parisons, were cylindrical with a rounded closed end as shown in the drawings. The machine cycle was set at 7.0-7.03 seconds with the main zone at 295° F. and the tempering zone at 296° F. The speed potential was set at 585 with a bottle decompression at 0.4 seconds, a zero stretch blow, a 0.5 second side eject, a recirculation of 9.99 seconds with no cooling, a main blow off of 2.2 seconds, and a parison release of 0.2 seconds. The main blow off was 260 psi, the stretch blow was shut off; the side eject was 80 psi and the stretch rod was 280 psi. The mold was closed, for 4.75 seconds and the bottle mold was kept at about 40° F.
The same blow mold machine of Example I was set up to produce the same type bottles from the same size and shape parisons but with the parisons formed of Phillips Petroleum polypropylene homopolymer. The same machine cycle of 7.0 to 7.03 seconds was used but the main zone was heated to 324° F. with the tempering zone at 326° F., the speed potential was also set at 585 but the decompression time was 0.9 seconds and a stretch blow of 0.5 seconds was used. The recirculation time was 9.99 seconds, the main blow off 1.6 seconds, the parison release 0.2 seconds, the main blow 250 psi with the stretch blow shut off. The side eject and stretch rod pressures were the same as in Example I. The bottle mold was chilled with city water to about 40° F.
The following Table compares haze, clarity and gloss properties of polypropylene bottles prepared according to this invention with the clearest injection blow molded bottle commercially available prior to the invention:

The tested commercially available prior art blow molded polypropylene bottle in the above Table was the clearest commercially available bottle.
The tests were conducted using the standard Gardner Haze Meter according to ASTM Standards D 1003, with a Gardner Clarity Meter according to ASTM Standards D 1746 and with Gardner Gloss Meters according to ASTM Standards D 2457 in the cylindrical portion of the body. The clarity measurements showed considerable scatter and the values indicated are averages of varying numbers.
The following Table summarizes specific examples of producing polypropylene parisons according to this invention which yield clear glossy bottles by the above-described blow mold techniques:

From the above descriptions it will be understood therefore that this invention now provides polypropylene parisons and exceptionally clear, transparent, glossy and strong polypropylene containers by stretch blow molding the parisons under conditions that biaxially orient polypropylene polymers.

There are a ton of rumors floating around right now that Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels are leaving TNA after their contract expires this year. It looks like Bad Influence will have a job to fall back on, as the former tag team champions are now working on a comic book together. Daniels and Kazarian are the main characters in it.
March 27, 2014
Karl Etherington was undefeated and the British heavyweight champion when he walked into Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane last night. By the time that Bellator 130 had ended, however, his unblemished record was no more. About 90 seconds into the fight, Etherington slipped on a judo throw, so Bobby Lashley was able to capitalize and land enough punches to get the referee to stop the match.
October 25, 2014
For MMA fighters, you only have a certain amount of time in the business, so you want to get as many fights as humanly possible before you retire. Bobby Lashley is fully aware of this theory, and he embraces it. The TNA star won a fight earlier this month for Bellator, and he's already scheduled for another one next month at a show in Kansas.
September 22, 2014
Bellator 123 is over, and Bobby Lashley has another win in his MMA career now. The TNA World Heavyweight Champion successfully defeated Josh Burns via submission. The win took place about a minute into the second round when Lashley was able to lock on a rear naked choke hold. The victory is expected to be heavily hyped up by TNA to bring a little more credibility to their championship.
September 6, 2014
It's not easy to juggle a career in professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. That's why TNA is being cautious with how they utilize Bobby Lashley. It is being said that management will closely observe what happens in his upcoming fight for Bellator this weekend. If Lashley is too battered and bruised, then TNA will take the world title off of him at an upcoming Impact Wrestling and allow him to take some time off.
September 4, 2014
TNA has a couple of live events coming up in a few days, and their world heavyweight champion will not be around. Bobby Lashley is going to be missing the one night only pay per view taping and an international television taping because he has to do a fight for Bellator MMA on September 5. His opponent is Josh Burns, who currently has an 8-7 record.
August 28, 2014
"If it's true that Spike TV doesn't renew their deal with TNA, it's a double edged sword, in my opinion. They were and are atrociously bad at advertising the show whatsoever. I never used to see us advertised except maybe an hour before Impact Wrestling started. Not acceptable. The most annoying part when I was still wrestling there was I'd see Bellator constantly advertised, and we were doing better numbers at the time. Hell, even Manswers got better public relations by the network than we did. The bad side of the sword is that it obviously takes a ton of TNA's revenue away that they counted on to pay the wrestlers. For the company's future, I think the further they get the hell away from Spike, the better the company will be. That's just my opinion obviously." - Matt Morgan on the rumors that Spike TV is canceling their television deal with TNA
July 28, 2014
Some interesting news coming out of TNA, as Bellator has now announced that Bobby Lashley will be making his MMA debut for their company in September. The current world heavyweight champion is scheduled to fight against veteran Josh Burns at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The belief is that Spike heavily pushed to make this happen as Bellator and TNA are two of their top performing brands.
July 16, 2014
After his big MMA fight in May against King Mo, Rampage Jackson will start training for professional wrestling. Bjorn Rebney, the CEO of Bellator, stated that he has hired coaches and trainers to come in and teach Jackson the finer points of being a wrestler. He also noted that he keeps in contact with Dixie Carter, so Jackson will be working with TNA again soon.
March 13, 2014
MMA fighters Jason Miller and Phil Baroni are calling out CM Punk over Twitter. The two former UFC stars each posted a message recently about the former WWE star. Miller appears to be joking, as he mentioned that the fight should be in a Dairy Queen parking lot. However, Baroni is more straight forward and stated that the fight can happen in Bellator.
February 16, 2014
Rampage Jackson has an MMA fight scheduled for the end of February. While some would believe that Bellator would send him to Impact Wrestling to do some promotional work, there appears to be very little talk within TNA of that happening. The two companies still have a working agreement, but it appears that it is not being utilized as much now.
February 14, 2014
While a lot of wrestling fans are brushing off the possibility of it happening, CM Punk might actually be giving MMA a chance, as the former WWE champion has generated some interest from various companies, such as World Series of Fighting and Bellator.
February 6, 2014
According to reports, Bellator is interested in signing CM Punk, if he wanted to try changing careers. It has been a well known fact that Punk is a big fan of MMA, where he is frequently seen at UFC events. As many already know, he recently walked out on WWE after some disagreements.
January 30, 2014
Since the company did not give him another contract, many are under the assumption that Christopher Daniels is bitter towards TNA. That apparently is not the case. During a recent interview, the former X division champion stated that he is actually rooting for Dixie Carter to get a new television contract with Spike TV. Daniels stated that he still has a lot of friends in the company, and he does not want to see them lose their place of employment.
August 9, 2014
Fans in attendance at the Comic Con event in San Diego this week have a chance to meet Christopher Daniels. The former TNA star has a booth there to promote his comic book. Daniels was paid a visit by Daniel Bryan, who was sent to the show by WWE to help promote the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The two of them had a nice talk and posed for a social media picture together.
July 25, 2014
On June 6, Tommy Dreamer is doing another House of Hardcore wrestling event, and the ECW legend has stacked his card up tremendously. Confirmed for the event are Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, AJ Styles, Devon, Bully Ray, Abyss, Gangrel, Kassius Ohno, Adam Pearce, Kevin Steen, Homicide, Matt Striker, Petey Williams, Shane Helms and the Godfather.
May 20, 2014
If you are already having Bad Influence withdrawals, some help is on the way. Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian will be working the ROH pay per view in June. Daniels has already been publicly confirmed for the event, but Ring of Honor cannot advertise Kazarian just yet because he is still officially under contract with TNA. They have to wait two weeks to announce his return.
May 18, 2014
"I figure that anything that Jeff Jarrett puts his mind to when it comes to creating a promotion has the potential to be very formidable in terms of the landscape of pro wrestling. Just look what he did with TNA. If he has the right people behind him when it comes to finances, then Jeff is creative enough to make something happen. So it's definitely on my radar, just like I think it's on everyone's radar at this point. Everyone's just waiting to see exactly what Global Force Wrestling is going to be. We have to see where it is, what it is, and who is going to be involved. Jeff is starting to answer slowly but surely." - Christopher Daniels discusses the possibility of joining GFW
May 14, 2014
"I always found it funny when I heard reports that I was one of the higher paid guys on the roster. I'd look at my paycheck and I never thought I was one of the higher paid guys. Essentially my contract was one of those where you only made a lot of money if you worked a lot, and I certainly wasn't working as much near the end of my contract as I was a year ago. I don't think that financial reasons were the reason I wasn't renewed. I don't know if they thought our act was tired or they wanted to go in a different direction. I'm not sure why that's the case, especially when I felt like there was a simple and great program in the works between us and Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards, but apparently the guys on the creative team didn't have the same desire to see that program take place." - Christopher Daniels discusses his contract situation with TNA
May 8, 2014
Rumors over the last couple of months had Christopher Daniels leaving TNA, and it looks like the move is now official, as the company has removed him from the official roster page. The former TNA X Division Champion has been moved to the alumni section instead, thus signaling that his contract has expired. A potential return is possible, but it appears that Daniels will move on to other projects.
April 30, 2014
While they both have now established themselves as singles stars, there are talks backstage in TNA of doing a Beer Money reunion. The hope would be that James Storm and Bobby Roode can remain relevant while carrying the tag team division once again. It would help fill the void that is being left by the potential departures of Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian.
April 24, 2014
While the sides have been unable to come to terms on contract extensions, Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are said to be leaving TNA on good terms. The door has been left open for a possible return down the line. For now, however, Bad Influence is taking their act elsewhere. The belief is that Daniels and Kazarian are going to do a quick tour of Japan.
April 20, 2014
Earlier this week, Seiya Sanada successfully defended the TNA X Division Championship against Christopher Daniels at a Wrestle-1 live event in Japan. TNA loves the idea of their championship being defended overseas, as it does give it more credibility with certain fans. Expect a couple of more performers to be sent to Japan to work matches.
April 19, 2014
It appears that Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian are set to leave TNA once their contract expires in the coming weeks. Both performers are already accepting bookings on the independent wrestling circuit. There are rumors floating around that Bad Influence could be taking off to Japan or joining Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling later this year.
April 19, 2014
"A unique athlete, it's funny because he was a book that was judged by his cover, for a very long time and it took a while to get him into TNA and we were always fighting to get him in. Everybody was like 'we gotta change his look and blah blah blah,' but finally when they gave him the chance, he showed them that you didn't need to judge him by the cover because he brings a unique intensity and a unique character to TNA and I think it would be a different TNA without him. He has changed the business." - Christopher Daniels discusses Samoa Joe
April 15, 2014
While rumors have persisted for months now that he was going to be leaving the company once his contract expires, there are talks that Christopher Daniels could be sticking around with TNA. Some are under the belief that a new contract has been reached, as he is going to be challenging for the X Division Championship against Seiya Sanada in Japan later on this week.
April 14, 2014
When word came out that Christopher Daniels was on the verge of leaving TNA after his contract expired, the belief was that he would head to Japan to work. Apparently, that is true, as the former X Division Champion will be challenging Seiya Sanada, the current champion, at a Wrestle-1 show on April 17 in Tokyo.
April 6, 2014
One of the biggest stories in professional wrestling right now involves Christopher Daniels and his contract expiring with TNA. The belief is that he might end up leaving since the company is still trying to get the budget in order. There is very little interest from WWE, so it will be interesting to see if he decides to take the pay cut from Dixie Carter.
March 18, 2014
When Frankie Kazarian revealed on Twitter that he was not working the Impact Wrestling episode this week, it spurned a lot of speculations about his future and that of Christopher Daniels, as both performers will be free agents after April if they do not sign a new contract with Dixie Carter. There have been talks of both guys going to Japan to work.
March 14, 2014

March 13, 2014
In a steel cage match at TNA Lockdown 2014, the Great Muta, Seiya Sanada and Yasufumi Nakanoue defeated Chris Sabin, Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian. All three Japanese wrestlers were representing Wrestle-1.
March 9, 2014
Seems like everyone in professional wrestling will be in New Orleans during Wrestlemania 30 weekend. It has now been announced that Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian have been signed to make appearances at WrestleCon. They will be signing autographs and taking pictures during the entire weekend.
March 6, 2014
Shortly after announcing that the Great Muta would be wrestling at TNA Lockdown 2014, the company has now revealed what match he will be involved in. The Japanese legend will team up with Seiya Sanada and Tigre Uno to take on the TNA trio of Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian and Chris Saban.

Run Fatboy Run Movie Review
With Run Fatboy Run, the directorial debut of Friends' David Schwimmer, Pegg moves up in the world and proves that he can, indeed, carry a movie. Written by Michael Ian Black, a seminal member of the comedy troupe/television show The State, Fatboy tells the story of Dennis (Pegg), a 1980s reject who gets the daft idea to leave his pregnant wife Libby (Thandie Newton) at the altar. A few years later, he has a gut, works security for a lingerie shop, and must vie for the attention of his son and once-fiancé against Whit (Hank Azaria), a healthy businessman who wants to marry Libby. This passive-aggressive tête-à-tête finally leads Dennis to attempting to compete in the same marathon as Whit.
Though filmed entirely in the UK and boasting three English actors/comedians, Schwimmer's film carries many of the same dimwit tropes of his American sitcom stomping ground. Azaria, a forceful comedian, is relegated to the sort of straight-man role that would usually befit someone like James Marsden. Azaria plays the character competently, but without inspiration. The film then leaves us with two other comic presences: Harish Patel as Dennis' landlord, and Dennis' cousin Gordon, played by Irish comedian and Shaun of the Dead co-star Dylan Moran. Patel delivers a great punchline to a breezy chat with Dennis about marriage, but Pegg and Moran have seemingly worn out their tread; their routine feels like an old joke that hasn't yet become retro.
Newton, a gorgeous but slight actress, has nothing to give the role of Libby, but that's not necessarily her fault. Black's script, given an unnoticeable buff-and-shine by Pegg, lacks thought and, in the death knell for any British comedy, takes itself seriously. But Pegg has charm to spare and good timing, both vocally and physically: When Whit treats Dennis to a cycling class, Schwimmer cuts to a sweat-covered Pegg with an indescribably funny stance and expression. Moments like these, sadly, are few and far between. Though written by two gifted comedians, Run Fatboy Run ends up feeling like a boring limerick told over and over again.
Aka Run, Fat Boy, Run.
Why run when you can ride?

The city council of Anaheim, California is taking the U.S. House of Representatives up on its admonition that America's national motto, "In God We Trust," ought to be proudly displayed in public schools and government buildings across America. On May 29, the southern California community's governing body voted unanimously to include the motto, set in four-inch brushed-gold letters on a black background, in the City Council Chambers.
General Motors' CEO Dan Akerson supports increasingly closer ties with the Chinese tyrants, explaining that it's good for business.
Following the success of a similar effort last March, tens of thousands of pro-life and Christian activists will gather at public venues in cities across the nation June 8 to voice the overwhelming opposition Americans have toward President Obama's contraception mandate, which will require that all employers — including religious institutions — provide free birth control to their employees.
Last week, several major news outlets reported on a Statement of Administration Policy (SAP) released by the White House regarding the Fiscal Year 2013 version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), in which President Obama gives 32 reasons why he is likely to veto the newest iteration of the NDAA.
The headlines announcing the President's promise to reject the NDAA are identical to those published early last December, just a couple of weeks before the President took time off from his Hawaiian vacation to sign the measure into law. Somehow, President Obama was able to set aside his issues with the act and grant himself the power to indefinitely detain Americans without charge or trial.
The communist dictatorship ruling mainland China, responsible for the blood of more innocent victims and for more abuses than any other single regime in world history, released a scathing so-called "human rights" report suggesting that America's Second Amendment protection of the right to keep and bear arms represented a violation of human rights. Apparently a response to the yearly U.S. State Department report on abuses worldwide, the Chinese regime's document also criticized more broadly what it called the "woeful" human-rights record of the U.S. government.
It's been about a year since a North Dakota man was arrested after a local SWAT team tracked him down using a Predator drone it borrowed from the Department of Homeland Security. Although the story has not been widely reported, Rodney Brossart became one of the first American citizens (if not the first) arrested by local law enforcement with the use of a federally owned drone aerial surveillance vehicle after holding the police at bay for over 16 hours.
Is the Export-Import Bank "corporate welfare" or "critical support" for American businesses? According to Barack Obama, it's both. Back in 2008, then-Sen. Obama denounced the Ex-Im Bank as a government program that should be "cut back" because it had "become little more than a fund for corporate welfare." But just last week President Obama signed a bill not only extending the bank's charter for two more years but also increasing the amount of money it can loan by 40 percent.
The tobacco industry has spent $47 million to defeat California's Proposition 29, which would enact a new $1-a-pack cigarette tax, and its ad campaign is having a significant impact.
Holder's pooh-poohing of voter fraud dangers, and hyping the "threat" of denying minorities "access" to the voting booth, are completely consistent with his drive to (1) maximize the number of votes by black Democrats and (2) spread as much fear as possible among minorities that they are under siege, and that the Democrats are their only protection and salvation.
The movie For Greater Glory depicts the story of Mexico's Cristero War in the 1920s, when a peasant army fought bravely for their religious freedom against a militantly secular, anti-Catholic regime. The film version, like the actual history, provides an inspiring example of what heroic virtue in action looks like.

Trolleybus plans are 'critical' say business leaders

Victorian Street buried beneath shops
It's a rare find ..... and a complete Victorian street is being being brought back to life after being found beneath a shopping centre in Keighley in West Yorkshire.
The hidden gem, created at the end of the 19th century was discovered under the town's Royal Arcade and now plans are afoot to make good use of it as Adam Fowler reports.
Underground shopping site will "fit in with past"
The man hoping to development an underground Victorian shopping arcade in Keighley says there are many planning restrictions - and anything built will fit in with its Victorian pa
Other ideas being considered include creating a visitor attraction or converting the old shops for use by craftsmen and specialist traders.
Architect brought in to restore "forgotten shopping street"
When builders discovered an underground shopping arcade in Keighley, much of the Victorian building work on the cellars of seven shops was still intact, while wooden shop-fronts and stable pens were in place.
Constructors also found doors, signs and fittings from some of the original shops in the street, which was then owned by Frank Booth and Mark Holroyd.
Now Nick Holroyd, manager of the Royal Arcade, which is above the discovery, is investigating whether the street - once at ground level - can be restored.
He has enlisted an architect and structural engineer - and plans are being made to develop the street, which has space for up to eight units.
Underground Victorian street could open for business
Shoppers may soon be able to bag a basement bargain - and walk through a secret Victorian shopping street after it was announced the street could reopen for business.
The subterranean cavern of former shops and stables were uncovered under the Royal Arcade, a two-storey complex of stores and flats in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
Last used in the 1890s, it was found after builders smashed their way through while converting the arcade in 2002.

Is there something wrong with saying Merry Christmas? Or is everyone here against saying that?
Posted by macguy on December 21, 2005 at 12:44 AM (CST)
As others have already said, it's Happy Christms, not this PC nonsense of Happy Holidays.
I know several people of different races and religions and NONE of them take ANY offence to the word Christmas.
Just as I don't take offence if a Hindu wishes me Happy Diwali - as has happened numerous times.
And if anyone DOES take offence to the word Christmas then that's their problem and I assume that they don't want any time off work either - seeing as how they're so offended by this Christian festival and all.
PS: I'm not in the least bit religious btw, but I do take offence when I have to tip-toe about trying not to offend all and sundry. This "Holiday" business needs to be stamped on ASAP.
Posted by PugRallye on December 21, 2005 at 6:45 AM (CST)
Chillax dude/dudette… have some egg-nog or something. It's the holiday season (yes Christmas, but other holidays too) so chill out, no need to get so worked up. Besides: We were all getting along so nicely.
Merry Thanks to all!
Posted by Mondayne on December 21, 2005 at 8:43 AM (CST)
I'm with PugRallye that's why I said CHRISTmas with a capital Christ.
I don't know, but I think that there is a deeper reason for changing Christmas to Holiday.
It sounds really weird calling a Christmas tree a holiday tree doesn't it.
Posted by Jonathan Keim on December 21, 2005 at 9:39 AM (CST)
Thanks iLounge, I hope every one has a CHRISTy CHRISTy Christmas!

Last changes that Chevrolet Silverado received were delivered in 2007 and the rest of the market evolved and delivered new design, looks and improvements. Finally, we have announcements that new version of this car will be delivered in 2014.
We are short on information's about this truck and we could only see it in a spy shoots but with heavy camouflage so there is no reason to show those pictures because they do not deliver any clues about the looks.
Since it comes with a large amount of camouflage we are sure that it will deliver some significant design changes. Both side and back were camouflaged and there is no chance to know what it brings. At front we can only say that it will bring more rounded headlight and front fender.
The interior images are still not available and we can't say what changes will be implemented there but from people that delivered spy shoots we have info that there is more room inside. We are also hoping for interior that will bring higher luxury level and more comfortable place to be.
There are still no info about the engine that will be under the hood of Chevrolet Silverado 2014 model but we expect few changes here also. For a car this size normal power and engine size is 300 hp and V6. Engines that might be delivered with new model are probably already in GM offer and we might expect to see 3.6 liter V6 or 3.0 liter turbocharged version.

You parents with young children: There's no reason to get bent out of shape about the college-affordability crisis. Nor is there any rationale for President Barack Obama to butt in. The free market already is addressing the problem of soaring tuition costs, primarily via the Internet. Just as the 'Net profoundly changed the business dynamics of the newspaper industry, the retail industry, and countless other industries, it is rapidly altering higher education, bending the cost curve downward. Obama wants the government to create a cost-benefit analysis of colleges and universities, which would take years of bureaucratic head-scratching, if it ever happens at all.
The average new college grad holds $26,500 in student-loan debt versus about $15,000 in 2004. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, this is the only form of consumer obligation that has grown since consumer debt peaked in 2008. "Balances of student loans," it says, "have eclipsed both auto loans and credit cards, making student-loan debt the largest form of consumer debt outside of mortgages." Outstanding debt is close to $1 trillion, versus $350 billion in 2004.
Enter Internet entrepreneurs. At the University of Maryland University College, which offers online undergraduate programs, a four-year degree costs $30,000 for in-state residents and $60,000 for out-of-staters. That's a steal, compared with most not-for-profit four-year colleges and universities where costs easily can exceed $100,000. Currently, total enrollment is 95,000 students. Last week, Georgia Tech, along with Udacity and AT&T T 0.345821325648415% AT&T Inc.

Despite abuses that Barron's has chronicled over the years—including the recruitment of unqualified students by some publicly traded Internet schools merely to boost revenue and profits—online education is booming. According to the U.S. Department of Education, from 1999-00, 8% of undergrads were enrolled in a "distance" course. That doubled to 16% in 2003-04 and hit 20% in 2007-08. The number of Internet users worldwide rose from 248 million to 1.8 billion during this period. The Department of Education will update the data this year; presumably, the percentages will be higher.
STILL TOO MUCH for your pocketbook? Some of the finest courses in the world—from top-tier schools like MIT and Stanford—already are available at no cost via Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs. When Stanford made a MOOC of one of its prestigious artificial-intelligence courses in 2011, 160,000 students from 190 countries signed up. About 23,000—or 14%—of them completed it, and 248 aced it. (None were from Stanford.)
What about that indispensable sheepskin? The end is nigh for credentialism. Udacity, one of several Websites serving as a portal to free college courses, identifies the smartest pupils and tells headhunters.
