1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to hot-fillable containers. More particularly, the present invention relates to hot-fillable containers having vacuum panels.
2. Background
The use of blow molded plastic containers for packaging "hot-fill" beverages is well known. However, a container that is used for hot-fill applications is subject to additional mechanical stresses on the container that result in the container being more likely to fail during storage or handling. For example, it has been found that the thin sidewalls of the container deform or collapse as the container is being filled with hot fluids. In addition, the rigidity of the container decreases immediately after the hot-fill liquid is introduced into the container. As the liquid cools, the liquid shrinks in volume, which, in turn, produces a negative pressure or vacuum in the container. The container must be able to withstand such changes in pressure without failure.
Hot-fill containers typically comprise substantially rectangular vacuum panels that are designed to collapse inwardly after the container has been filled with hot liquid. However, the inward flexing of the panels caused by the hot-fill vacuum creates high stress points at the top and bottom edges of the vacuum panels, especially at the upper and lower corners of the panels. These stress points weaken the portions of the sidewall near the edges of the panels, allowing the sidewall to collapse inwardly during handling of the container or when containers are stacked together. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,337,909.
The presence of annular reinforcement ribs that extend continuously around the circumference of the container sidewall are shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,337,909. These ribs are indicated as supporting the vacuum panels at their upper and lower edges. This holds the edges fixed, while permitting the center portions of the vacuum panels to flex inwardly while the bottle is being filled. These ribs also resist the deformation of the vacuum panels. The reinforcement ribs can merge with the edges of the vacuum panels at the edge of the label upper and lower mounting panels.
Another hot-fill container having reinforcement ribs is disclosed in WO 97/34808. The container comprises a label mounting area having an upper and lower series of peripherally spaced, short, horizontal ribs separated endwise by label mount areas. It is stated that each upper and lower rib is located within the label mount section and is centered above or below, respectively, one of the lands. The container further comprises several rectangular vacuum panels that also experience high stress point at the corners of the collapse panels. These ribs stiffen the container adjacent lower corners of the collapse panels.
Stretch blow molded containers such as hot-filled PET juice containers, must be able to maintain their function, shape and labelability on cool down to room temperature or refrigeration. In the case of non-round containers, this is more challenging due to the fact that the level of orientation and, therefore, crystallinity is inherently lower in the front and back than on the narrower sides. Since the front and back are normally where vacuum panels are located, these areas must be made thicker to compensate for their relatively lower strength.
The present invention provides an improved blow molded non-round plastic container, where an efficient vacuum absorption panel is placed on symmetrically opposing sidewalls, which sidewall is on the axis furthest from the center point. In contrast, on the axis closest to the center point, the symmetrically opposing sidewalls may be reinforced with ribs. In addition the design allows for improved dent resistance, reduces container weight and improves label panel support.
The design of the invention insures that the generally rectangular sides remain relatively flat which facilitates packing in box-shaped containers and the utilization of shelves when displayed in stores for retail sale. The containers may be resistant to bellying out, which renders them suitable for a variety of uses including hot-fill applications.
In hot-fill applications, the plastic container is filled with a liquid that is above room temperature and then sealed so that the cooling of the liquid creates a reduced volume in the container. The non-round hot-fill container of the present invention has four generally rectangular sides and a roughly rectangular base. The opposing sidewalls, having the greatest distance between them, contain the generally rectangular vacuum panels. These panels may be symmetrical to each other in size and shape. These panels have substantially curved upper and lower ends, as opposed to the substantially straight upper and lower ends. These sidewalls containing the vacuum panels may in addition contain one or more ribs located above or below the panels. These optional ribs may also be symmetric to ribs, in size, shape and number to ribs on the opposing sidewall containing the symmetric vacuum panel. The ribs have a rounded edge, which may point inward or outward relative to the interior of the container.
The vacuum panels may be selected so that they are highly efficient. See, for example, International Application No. PCT/NZ00/00019 (Melrose) where panels with vacuum panel geometry are shown.
Sidewalls not containing the vacuum panels have one or more ribs located in the label may be defined by an upper bumper and a lower bumper. The ribs can have either an outer or inner edge relative to the inside of the container. These ribs may occur as a series of parallel ribs. These ribs may be parallel to each other and the base. The number of ribs within the series can be either an odd or even. The number, size and shape of ribs may be symmetric to those in the opposing sidewall. Such symmetry enhances stability of the container.
Preferably, the ribs on the side not containing the vacuum panel may be substantially identical to each other in size and shape. The individual ribs can extend across the length or width the container. The actual length, width and depth of the rib may vary depending on container use, plastic material employed and the demands of the manufacturing process. Each rib is spaced apart relative to the others to optimize its and the overall stabilization function as an inward or outward rib. The ribs may be parallel to one another and preferably, also to the container base.
In addition, the novel design of the hot-fill container also provides for additional areas on the label mounting area for receiving an adhesive or for contact with a shrink wrap label, thereby improving the process for applying a label to the container.
The advanced highly efficient design of the side vacuum panels more than compensates for the fact that they offer less surface area than normal front and back panels. Employment of a thin-walled, super lightweight preform insures that a high level of orientation and crystallinity may be imparted to the entire package. This increased level of strength together with the rib structure and highly efficient vacuum panels provide the container with the ability to maintain function and shape on cool down, while at the same time utilizing minimum gram weight.
The arrangement of ribs and vacuum panels on adjacent sides within the area defined by upper and lower label bumpers allows the package to be further light weighted without loss of structural strength. The ribs may be placed on the weaker side and the panels may be placed on the more oriented side, which allows one to thin these sidewalls and achieve a lighter overall weigh. This configuration optimizes orientation and crystallinity. Further, this configuration of ribs and vacuum panel represents a departure from tradition.
The invention is a thin-walled, non-round plastic container having a body portion with generally rectangular sidewalls and a base. The base can be non-rounded and can include an elliptical base push up. The body portion includes a label mounting area extending between an upper label bumper and a lower label bumper on at least two of the adjacent rectangular sidewalls. The label mounting area includes a vacuum panel on a first sidewall, and a plurality of ribs, which may be on a second sidewall. The ribs and vacuum panels cooperate to maintain container shape upon filling and cooling of the container. The first and second sidewalls may have symmetrical opposing sidewalls. The vacuum panel can include an upper and a lower edge that are rounded or can be substantially generally oval.
The first sidewall containing the vacuum panel can have a width that is less than the width of a second sidewall. The first sidewall can further include one or a plurality of ribs, which can be positioned outside or within the vacuum panel.
The ribs on the second sidewall of the plastic container can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal. The ribs can be outwardly facing, inwardly facing, or a combination of inwardly and outwardly facing.
Exemplary containers can be, for example, generally oval or generally rectangular. The container can be hot-fillable and manufactured from PET.
These and various other advantages and features of novelty, which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed hereto and forming a part hereof. However, for a better understanding of the invention, its advantages, and the objects obtained by its use, reference should be made to the drawings which form a further part hereof, and to the accompanying descriptive matter, in which there is illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention.
A thin-walled container in accordance with the present invention can be filled with a liquid at a temperature above room temperature in so-called hot-fill processing. In a hot fill process, a product is added to the container at an elevated temperature, about 82° C., which can be near the glass transition temperature of the plastic material, and the container is capped. As the container and its contents cool, the contents tend to contract and this volumetric change creates a partial vacuum within the container. In the absence of some means for accommodating these internal volumetric and barometric changes, containers tend to deform and/or collapse. In addition to these changes that adversely affect the appearance of the container, distortion or deformation can cause the container to lean or become unstable. This is particularly true where deformation of the base region occurs. As used herein, hot-fill processing includes conventional hot-fill techniques, as well as pasteurization and retort processing. The container can be filled by automated, high speed, hot-fill equipment known in the art.
Containers according to the present invention can have a one-piece construction and be prepared from a monolayer plastic material, such as a polyamide, for example, nylon; a polyolefin such as polyethylene, for example, low density polyethylene (LDPE) or high density polyethylene (HDPE), or polypropylene; a polyester, for example polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphtalate (PEN); or others, which can also include additives to vary the physical or chemical properties of the material. For example, some plastic resins can be modified to improve the oxygen permeability. Alternatively, the container can be prepared from a multilayer plastic material. The layers can be any plastic material, including virgin, recycled and reground material, and can include plastics or other materials with additives to improve physical properties of the container. In addition to the above-mentioned materials, other materials often used in multilayer plastic containers include, for example, ethylvinyl alcohol (EVOH) and tie layers or binders to hold together materials that are subject to delamination when used in adjacent layers. A coating may be applied over the monolayer or multilayer material, for example to introduce oxygen barrier properties. Exemplary containers according to the present invention may be formed from a plastic material such as polyethylene terephthlate (PET) or other polyester.
Preferably, the container is blow molded by, for example, extrusion blow molding, stretch blow molding or injection blow molding. In extrusion blow molding, a molten tube of thermoplastic material, or plastic parison, is extruded between a pair of open blow mold halves. The blow mold halves close about the parison and cooperate to provide a cavity into which the parison is blown to form the container. As formed, the container can include extra material, or flash, at the region where the molds come together, or extra material, or a moil, intentionally present above the container finish. After the mold halves open, the container drops out and is then went to a trimmer or cutter where any flash of moil is removed. The finished container may have a visible ridge formed where the two mold halves used to form the container came together. This ridge is often referred to as the parting line.
In stretch blow molding, a preformed parison, or preform, is prepared from a thermoplastic material, typically by an injection molding process. The preform typically includes a threaded end, which becomes the threads of the container. The preform is positioned between two open blow mold halves. The blow mold halves close about the preform and cooperate to provide a cavity into which the preform is blown to form the container. After molding, the mold halves open to release the container. Stretch blow molding is an exemplary method for forming containers according to the present invention. Injection blow molding is similar to stretch blow molding. In injection blow molding, a thermoplastic material is extruded through a rod into an inject mold to form a parison. The parison is positioned between two open blow mold halves. The blow mold halves close about the parison and cooperate to provide a cavity into which the parison is blown to form the container. After molding, the mold halves open to release the container.
Referring now to the drawings, embodiments of the container of this invention are indicated as generally having many of the well-known features of hot-fill containers. A shown in
The substantially rectangular sidewalls include at least one first sidewall 20″ having a vacuum panel 11 and at least one second sidewall 20′ having one or more ribs 10. Generally, the substantially rectangular second sidewalls 20′ containing one or more ribs 10 have a width greater than the first sidewall containing the vacuum panel 11. The first sidewalls 20″ having the vacuum panels 11 are adjacent to those having the ribs 10 in the label areas defined by an upper and lower bumpers. Further, the first sidewalls 20″ having the vacuum panels may also have one or more ribs 10′. As shown in
The container can include a configuration of sidewalls containing vacuum panels 11 and ribs 10 and 10′ such that opposing sidewalls are symmetrical. The vacuum panels 11″ can have rounded edges 14, 14′, 15, 15′ or edgeless such that the vacuum panel blends into the surrounding sidewall, as shown in
The ribs 10 on the second sidewall 20′ generally function to stiffen the sidewall and prevent undesirable deformation of the sidewall during processing and use of the container. As used herein with respect to the ribs on the second sidewall, the term rib includes other structures or rib arrangements that achieve the desired rigidity of the container. The ribs on the second sidewall can face inwardly, i.e. the ribs are concave with respect to the exterior of the container and the indentation forming the ribs extends toward the interior of the container, or outwardly, i.e. the ribs are convex with respect to the exterior of the container and the indentation forming the ribs extends toward the exterior of the container. Alternatively, the second sidewall can contain a combination of inwardly facing and outwardly facing ribs.
The first sidewall 20″ may also contain one or more ribs 10′. As shown in
The number of vacuum panels 11 is variable. However, two symmetrical panels, each on the opposite sides of the container, are preferred. The vacuum panel 11 illustrated in
As stated above, the edges of the vacuum panels 11 may be well defined (
The corner view shown in
As is known in the art, containers such as those according to the present invention can be configured to have a region of the base extending into the interior of the container, commonly referred to as a base push up, particularly when the container is used for hot fill applications. Generally, base push ups present in containers are circular. (See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,108,324 to Krishnakumar which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.) As best illustrated in
For a 64-ounce plastic container having an outer perimeter of approximately 414 mm and as depicted in
The part can be non-round in such a way that the face with the ribs Dimension B (see
The above is offered by way of example only, and the size of the reinforcement rib is a function of the size of the container, and would be increased from the values given in proportion to an increase in the dimensions of the container from the dimensions given for container 1.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.

We came across new images of Ryan on set of "Only God Forgives". We assume they are released for the Cannes market. You can find them in our gallery. You can find a more in depth review of the "Only God Forgives" press screening at Cannes below/inside.
Gallery Links:
2012 – Only God Forgives > Behind the scenes > On set – Official
Possibly the most hotly anticipated footage from a number of critics was the three minutes of exclusive footage from Nicholas Winding Refn's Drive follow-up, Only God Forgives, and it appeared to go down reasonably well. For me though, the footage was a little disappointing, coming across more like a violent commercial for a high end spirit than an interesting and intriguing scene from a film. Refn's style is writ large here and whilst this is rather engaging all on its own, as is Gosling's brooding intensity, there was little of substance in the footage to grasp onto.
Set in some sort of club, the scene features Gosling's character (Julien), two Thai men and a girl who looks somewhat vacant (much like the women in the dressing room scene in Drive) and as the camera finally settles on the scene Julien suddenly gets up, walks over to the men and smashes one of the men's glass into their face. A brief fight breaks out, with Julien clearly winning, before Julien then grabs one of the men by his face and then proceeds to drag him out of the building by his upper jaw.
The other man follows behind him and once outside the three continue to fight, or to be more precise, Julien continues to beat them both senseless. At one point he even resorts to pulling off his belt and whipping them with it. All the while swooping music plays on the soundtrack and there are constant cuts to a boxer statue.
Bathed in rich coloured lighting the sequence is, as I suggested above, stylised to the extreme and this is perhaps the only real takeaway from what we saw. The footage shown definitely seems to inhabit the same milieu as Drive and from what we saw it looks as if it will easily be as violent if not more so.
No official release date has been announced yet for Only God Forgives but it is expected late this year or very early in 2013.

Its correct British passport do not have letters in the number - it numeric and not alphanumeric. The Irish passport does have letters and numbers. Within the EU since there is only a national citizenship, member states can still determine the structure of the number any way they want. This could change in the future, once all passports had different national colours. Now all passports from citizens of an EU member state are the same colour - ''Wine''. To answer your question, question YES but it depends on the country.

Schug Heritage Reserve Pinot Noir 2008
Pinot Noir from Carneros, California
Winemaker's Notes
A spicy bouquet of roses and cherries greets the nose, with flavors of black cherry, tangy cranberry and brown spices to follow. The long spicy finish is accented by a hint of toasty oak from 16 months aging in French oak barrels. We anticipate this wine will continue to age gracefully in the cellar for up to 10 years.
Critical Acclaim
PinotReport - "Medium ruby color; deep, spicy, earthy aromas with some dusty cherry notes; deep, complex cherry, herbal and savory spice flavors with some toasty oak; good structure and balance; long finish. Complex Pinot with the structure to age. Serve with a grilled pork chop or mushroom pasta."
Schug Estate Winery
Founded in 1980, Schug Carneros Estate Winery is the showcase and life-long dream of one of California's most celebrated winemakers. Walter Schug's reputation blossomed during his tenure as Founding Winemaker for Joseph Phelps Vineyards in the 1970s, where he made California's first proprietary Bordeaux-Style blend (Insignia) and legendary vineyard designated Cabernets (Backus and Eisele Vineyards).
Drawing on his long experience in the production of fine wines in both Europe and California, Walter set up his own winery with his wife Gertrud in the cool, marine climate of the Carneros Appellation. Here he could focus on the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varietals that had always been close to his heart.
Schug Carneros Estate Winery combines old world understanding and tradition with modern winemaking techniques. By using only the finest grapes available, and maintaining the best winemaking values, these wines have gained acceptance worldwide as true contemporary classics. View all Schug Estate Winery Wines
About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Hate to be a broken record, and the few remaining RWCG readers who have stuck with me through my posts on Coinology and 'default' semantics may get deja vu, but John Cochrane is a must-read on the Coin and the Debt-Ceiling. Anyone convinced I've been talking out of my butt on these matters will be surprised to learn that someone else actually confirms what I, and not Paul Krugman, have been saying.
For example:
Debt: US government bonds, issued by the Treasury. Promises to pay for your healthcare is not "debt," and if the government reneges on that promise it's not a "default."
If a $100 bond comes due, the Treasury can sell a new $100 bond to pay off the principal without increasing the total amount of debt. And there's still $2.5 trillion of tax revenue coming in. That's plenty to cover interest payments. If anything, the law is pretty clear that interest payments on the debt are the last thing the government can stop paying, not the first.
This is simply a red herring. Social security checks might stop, farm price support payments might stop, they might have to send the TSA home from airports and let the NRA take care of security (joke here, please don't go nuts). All this might cause a lot of hardship, but there is nothing forcing the government to default. Default would be a choice.
Golly! Now where have you heard this before?**
**right here
Parse [Krugman's piece] carefully for Clintonian veracity. "Defaulting on its obligations" could mean not paying promised farm price supports, or delaying payments (as the State of Illinois does) to vendors, not actual default on Federal debt. So it's just a nanometer this side of factually incorrect. But you'd have to be very knowledgeable not to infer from the following sentence "disastrous effect on financial markets" that Krugman is not talking about actual "default" (a term meaning "not paying back bonds") from this more metaphorical sort of "default" (meaning breaking an implicit promise).
How ill-served we are by our Smart People financial commentariat when everyone on up to Paul Krugman the Nobel-Prize winner is being more misleading than "The Crimson Reach".

Oprah Winfrey's talk show will end on May 25th of this year. Given that she is Oprah, the stakes are already pretty high, how do you end a twenty-five-year-long run of iconic television and still thrill your viewers? It's going to be hard to top "Everybody gets a car!" but she is certainly going to try and outdo herself. Page Six reports that for one of her final episodes, Oprah has reached out to Donald Trump to try and convince the tycoon to get a makeover and cut his famously terrible hair for her audience's viewing pleasure.
A source from Trump's office said they received an email from Oprah's camp asking him to be on her show, saying that "The eyes of the world will be upon these episodes," and if he chooses to come on, his makeover will be treated with "integrity" and that Oprah will "not let it become a joke or silly…This will become one of those historical television moments that will become iconic." Of course, they would also allow Trump to do what he does best: self-promote. He would be offered the chance to discuss his 2012 presidential bid (dear God, no) and talk about The Celebrity Apprentice in exchange for the trim. Trump's hair has been a punchline for so long that we doubt he'd let Oprah touch it, but if he thinks about all the attention it will get him, he may not be able to resist.

- Filed Under
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Uh-oh. This changes everything, maybe even the fate of the Colts-Saints Super Bowl.
We're talking here about Dwight Freeney's ankle, soon to be the most closely monitored ankle since Curt Schilling and the bloody sock.
Or Barbaro, although I'm thinking euthanasia is highly unlikely in this case.
Even if defensive end Freeney plays with a Grade III ankle sprain Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts take on the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV, he will not be vintage Freeney, not even close. The doctors can tape him up like a mummy and give him enough anesthetic to numb up a yak, but he's not going to have his usual explosion, his usual speed, his usual leverage. This is his right ankle, remember, his plant foot.
This is not good news six days before the Super Bowl, not good at all. It doesn't necessarily mean the Colts are going to lose; they're way too resilient to let a single injury derail them -- unless it's Peyton Manning, of course, and then we might as well pack up and go home. But Freeney's injury just made Sunday's game a lot more difficult.
Welcome to As the Ankle Turns.
"Dwight is playing and he'll be 100 percent by Sunday," linebacker Gary Brackett said confidently Monday.
Then he smiled.
"I have no clue," he said.
"But if anybody can come back from an injury, it's Dwight. He's had all kinds of strange things this year. He's supposed to be out 10 weeks, he plays seven days later. He's not a guy I count out as far as playing Sunday. Dwight has Wolverine-type characteristics. He recovers very speedy."
He'd better.
Maybe you've heard the New Orleans Saints aren't the Baltimore Ravens or the New York Jets. They can score points. They can pass the ball and run the ball. They led the NFL in points scored, were fourth in passing and sixth in rushing. Getting in quarterback Drew Brees' face was going to be a challenge even before the Freeney injury; the Saints were fourth in the league in fewest sacks allowed and third in fewest hits allowed on the quarterback.
This is a huge development, and not a happy one. In Freeney, we're talking about the second-most important player on the Colts' roster behind Manning.
This means the Saints won't have to help offensive left tackle Jermon Bushrod with another blocker.
This means Robert Mathis will get a lot more of the attention Freeney might have drawn.
This means the Colts may have to rely on the blitz more to get pressure on Brees.
This means there will be even more pressure on Manning and that offense to keep pace in what's shaping up as a game that will challenge the 49ers and Chargers for most points scored (75, after the 1994 season) in a Super Bowl.
"It changes (our defense) a lot," Brackett said. "Obviously, Robert Mathis has got to step up and play big. Raheem (Brock) has to step up, and he'll do that. Some other guys, Keyunta Dawson, all of us."
Think this isn't a different Colts team without Freeney? Just flash back to the 2007 playoff loss to San Diego at the old RCA Dome. Freeney missed most of that season because of a foot injury. That day, the Colts put no pressure on Philip Rivers and Billy Volek, and the quarterbacks had a field day.
For their part, the Saints will prepare this week with the idea Freeney will play. Earlier this season, they saw Dallas' DeMarcus Ware taken off the field on a stretcher with a neck injury. Six days later, he came back and destroyed the Saints with two sacks and two forced fumbles.
While it's true the Colts have managed to weather every conceivable injury this season, there's no getting around the fact Freeney is irreplaceable. Especially on such short notice. And against the NFL's most prolific offense, no less.
Manning, more than most, understands what a pass rusher does to an opposing quarterback's psyche.
"I count my blessings every day that he's on my team," Manning said. "I can't tell you how many times in training camp . . . he's run right by me and whispered, 'That would have hurt. That would have hurt.' "
Already, Freeney's ankle saga has taken an odd twist. There were reports Freeney hosted a bash at Miami's Club Karma last weekend -- although it's hard to say why that might be an issue as long as he wasn't dancing up a storm. Whatever the case, his agent, Gary Wichard, loudly disputed the story, saying Freeney was doing nothing except rehabbing his ankle and hanging out in his hyperbaric chamber.
More disturbing, ESPN's insightful analyst, Tom Jackson, overstepped his bounds and told Freeney how he should handle this injury.
"I'm going to be very honest with you; I think you take a (pain-killing) shot," Jackson said on ESPN. "You do whatever you need to do to play for three hours in the Super Bowl."
There's little doubt Freeney will take every extraordinary measure. But it's his body, his ankle, his pain, and nobody else's.
"If he can go, he'll go," Brackett said. "Whatever it takes."
And if he can't? Or if he's severely limited? Yeah, this changes everything.

Real reviews from fellow travellers
These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " The hostel is OK. Private room facilities are a bit expensive and don't worth the money depending on the rate you get. For a little more you can stay in a propper hotel. For the shared rooms, possibly the experience brings more value to the money. Although the atmosphere is nice, it seems that the staff works in a very automatic and corporate way... My hostel experiences are usualy more personal and less "man machine". But I mean, it works... "
- 18 Jul 2015 Felipe Brazil
- " Perfect for anyone who doesn't plan on spending their Chicago vacation in their room. Beautiful, safe neighborhood with friendly staff and patrons making it a wonderful atmosphere. "
- 13 Jul 2015 Bryanna USA
- " Great experience. 5 minutes walking distance from the train, very clean, fun people, good breakfast....It was exactly what I was looking for! I went on the pub crawl they offered on Saturday night. The bars were weird, but I met some great people and had a great night! "
- 20 Jun 2015 Anonymous USA
- " when checking in hey charged me 32.00 when I already paid 5 and change on y credit card,so which means I paid 37.00 for the bed. was a little disappointed in the stay this time being it was my 3rd time staying there. I might have to find a new hostel next time for a better value. "
- 17 Jun 2015 James USA
- " Informações em portugues. Albergue bem localizado, em região tranquila, próximo a bares, restaurantes, supermercados e transporte público. Próximo à cidade, via metrô, ônibus ou mesmo bicicletas, que podem ser locadas em vários lugares. Recomendo o sistema público DIVVY, que tem 3 estações próximas do albergue. Bom ambiente e staff atencioso, mas a limpeza de maneira geral deixa a desejar. Banheiros medianos. Dá pra ficar, sem muita sofisticação. "
- 16 Jun 2015 Anonymous Brazil
- " Very good experience and hostel s area excellent, very nice streets around.Chicago the Elegant City "
- 14 Jun 2015 Anonymous France
- " The hostel was a great place to stay at while we were in town for SAMF the only downside was that our rooms were not ready at the time of our arrival and the staff seemed to be bothered when you needed help with anything. "
- 12 Jun 2015 Jennifer Puerto Rico
- " I am angry at myself because before checking in I never looked at the printout of my reservation. It clearly stated that I had a bed in a 4 bed dorm, but was put in a 10 bed dorm. I was too tired to argue with the staff. Then when I already checked out I realized I was overcharged by about 6 dollars. I had prepaid 10 percent , so the balance I owed was 52.80, but I was charged 58.20. because the numbers look similar, I am almost sure it was done on purpose. I should've looked at the printout. "
- 12 Jun 2015 Ramaz USA
- " Had an excellent time at the Chicago Getaway Hostel, a very positive experience. We did 2 nights dorm and 2 nights private room. We were very close to Lincoln Park Zoo and the transit was close as well. Slept good. Neighbourhood very peaceful and safe. The breakfast was included and left us so full we were able to go till almost dinner time. The washrooms were less than perfect but really just fine. Will come again. Thanks "
- 27 May 2015 Anonymous Canada
- " It's a hostel, so you have to be used to sharing bathrooms etc., and to having breakfast at a student cafeteria. Coffee was bad, there was no juice, but it was nice (bananas, oranges, bread, you get to make your own pancakes with syrup etc), and the best: it's included in the fees, which is rare in Chicago. Not very close to subway stations, but near Clark street, which has lots of restaurants, buses, shops, and where I watched Blue Man Group show. "

Teen Mom
Javi Marroquin Apologizes to Kailyn Lowry: "I Sound Real Ignorant"
Javi Marroquin and Kailyn Lowry are the cutest couple in Teen Mom 2 land (aside from Courtland Rogers and his confederate flag tattoo), but this dynamic duo aren't without their problems!
We were more than a little surprised when Javi shared his distaste for Kailyn's therapy sessions during Teen Mom 2 Season 4's penultimate episode — after all, girlfriend was simply trying to work on her anger issues! The good news? Mr. Marroquin regrets the way he treated Kailyn, and he took to Twitter to apologize.
"I sound real ignorant tonight. So let me apologize now. I support kail 100% and am behind her completely. #iapologize," Javi tweeted on April 22, adding "I needed to see that. Really do feel bad. And sincerely apologize to kail and everyone for being so disrespectful. Goodnight."
Luckily, Kailyn isn't harboring any hard feelings toward her boo.
"Stop it!" she tweeted. "We all have our days. I haven't always been perfect either. #human I love you!"
Is it just us, or do Kailyn and Javi have the best relationship ever? And in case you were wondering why Kail asked her man to peace out during their argument on the tube last night, it's because she didn't want to fly off the handle.
"I asked Javi to walk away at that point because I didn't want to get to my breaking point. Reason why I go to therapy," Kail explained, adding "Any little thing can make me snap. I'm not crazy. I'm bipolar. I have done a lot to learn to deal and handle situations better."
Clearly, therapy has been great for Kailyn and Javi's relationship, so we have a feeling Javi's had a change of heart.

Overcrowded ASU dorms have students back in hotel rooms
PHOENIX -- With a record breaking numbers of students living in Arizona State University's student housing, some will be waking up in hotel rooms rather than dorms at the start of this school year.
For a second straight year, the school's downtown campus has been overbooked and students have been placed temporarily into hotels while the school makes arrangements.
"There are fewer than 30 students who are assigned to nearby hotels," said ASU Spokeswoman Julie Newberg.
More than 13,500 new and returning students are moving into ASU dorms across the school's four campuses, with 1,300 of those moving into Taylor Place, the downtown Phoenix resident hall, Newberg said. That has ASU's housing accommodations spread thin.
The students living in hotels will still have access to the same services that students have in the resident halls though, according to Newberg.
"They are going to be participating in all welcome week activities as well as resident hall activities," she said. "We will provide staffing support and programming opportunities to the students who are living in temporary assignments."
Newberg said the school will also be putting professional housing staff in the hotels alongside the students.
The downtown campus is not the only ASU campus dealing with overcrowding as Newberg said some students from the Tempe campus will also be placed in hotels temporarily.
Newberg was unable to provide the number of students who would be relocated from the Tempe campus.
The school expects to have all students out of hotels and into dorms by the start of the school year on Aug. 21.
"Circumstances change, there may be some students who decided not to move into the residential hall if they have an apartment off campus or something like that," Newberg said.

WORCESTER, Mass. – Junior Stacey Hochkins (New Boston, Mich.) broke a stalemate with two goals in the third period to lead the Holy Cross women's ice hockey team to a 5-2 victory over Castleton State Sunday afternoon at the Hart Center. With the win, Holy Cross improves to 12-6-0 (9-2-0 ECAC East), while Castleton falls to 5-8-2 (3-6-1 ECAC East).
With the game tied at two goals apiece, Hochkins took advantage of the power play to net her 17th goal of the season just past the four minute mark of the third period. Hochkins' second goal of the game came just over three minutes later, when a pass from senior Jocelyn Kratchmer (Watrous, Saskatchewan) and sophomore Alex Campione (Townsend, Mass.) resulted in a shorthanded goal, giving the Crusaders a two goal lead. Sophomore Caroline English (Dorchester, Mass.) confirmed the win for the Crusaders with a goal at the 19:34 mark in the third period.
Junior Nicola Garat (Princeton, N.J.) recovered her own rebounding shot seven minutes into the first period to score the first goal of the game. Castleton State tied the game, 1-1, after Laura Szwed fought off Holy Cross defenders in front of the net to sneak one by Holy Cross senior goaltender Lindsay Atkinson (Westbank, British Columbia). Holy Cross didn't stay down long, scoring its second goal of the game just 30 seconds later when freshman Kylee Sullivan (Arlington, Mass.) found the back of the net and ending the period in favor of the Crusaders, 2-1. Castleton tied the game with the only goal of the second period when Szwed netted her second goal of the game at the 8:11 mark. After drawing Atkinson out of the crease, Szwed took advantage of the open goal for the score.
Atkinson gave up two goals and recorded 12 saves, while Castleton State's Katharyn Dembow allowed five goals and recorded 58 saves. Holy Cross went 2-5 on the power play, while Castleton converted on one. The Crusaders outshot the Spartans 63-14.
The Crusaders continue action at the Hart Center on Wednesday, Jan. 26 when they host ECAC East opponent Plymouth State at 7:00 p.m.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In the heart of La Recoleta, an upscale and safe neighborhood in central Buenos Aires, close to great shopping and fine dining
The Ayres de Libertad is located in one of the most upscale and safe neighborhoods in central Buenos Aires, La Recoleta. It is two blocks from 9 de Julio Avenue, the city's main thoroughfare, and a three-minute walk to great shopping and dining on Santa Fe Avenue.
Residential La Recoleta is one of Buenos Aires' grand dames, with marble buildings and top-notch boutiques lining busy streets full of locals and tourists alike. Alvear Avenue is one of the main thoroughfares in the area, and has some of the most beautiful Parisian-style apartment buildings in the neighborhood, including a couple of magnificent palaces.
But it's not all about shopping here -- the neighborhood is home to major attractions like the National Library, a handful of art museums, and some interesting art galleries. However, there is little to no public transportation available in the area, requiring the use of cabs to get around.
The 30 apartment-style rooms in the Ayres de Libertad utilize space fantastically without sacrificing an attractive modern aesthetic. Studios offer plenty of wall storage, stocked kitchenettes, polished marble bathrooms, and balconies; some units have courtyard views, but other views are lousy. Common areas feel more cramped, with the indoor swimming pool and tiny fitness area dropped into one section of the lobby. Despite the lack of spread out common space, this sleek and modern hotel offers a convenient location in Recoleta and free breakfast is delivered to rooms each morning.

(August 9, 2012) -- Former Baylor quarterback and Washington Redskins signal caller Robert Griffin III just answered a lot of questions in only 14 plays Thursday night against the Bills.
RG3 was able to show what he can do in a 7-6 victory.
Griffin III wen 4-6 for 70 yards, including his first touchdown in the NFL, all in just a single quarter of play.
Griffin III saved his best work for last in his third and final drive of the game, with the ball at the Redskins' 20-yard line.
On 2nd-and-10, Griffin III found receiver Pierre Garçon down the middle for a 20-yard gain. Two plays later, he found Garçon again, this time for 18 yards.
The aerial attack opened up the ground game for the Redskins, as running back Evan Royster gained 19 yards on the next three plays.
On 3rd-and-three from the Buffalo 20, Griffin III found Garçon for a 20-yard catch and run that ended with Garçon doing a front flip into the end zone.
Griffin III classified his first NFL experience as "extremely good."
"Coach [Mike Shanahan] did a good job calling plays, got me in rhythm and helped get the offense in rhythm on that third drive. That's what it's all about," he said. "You don't always have to go out and try to put together the best scheme to the one play to the one route that's going to be wide open.
"Sometimes you have got to go out and out-execute the team."

In happening Huertas, within walking distance of Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor
The NH Nacional is located on an active street near Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor. The hotel is very close to the action without being right on top of it, so street noise at night isn't too much of a problem. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants, and shops in Huertas -- the area is considered by many to have the best nightlife and culinary scene in the city. It's also close to Puerta de Atocha train station, which serves the high speed trains.
The capital of Spain is a vibrant, multicultural city located right in the center of the country. The Cuatro Torres business area's additions to the city skyline (four sleek towers, including a hotel and corporate offices) give an idea of what Madrid is rapidly becoming: a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city -- albeit one that preserves its century-old traditions.
The NH Nacional is a 214-room hotel located in the Huertas neighborhood. Clean rooms have hardwood floors, flat-screen TVs, and minibars, although bedding is on the drab side. Big bathrooms are updated and feature shower/tub combos. Upgrading beyond the standard room gets more space, espresso machines, and in some cases, a balcony. A breakfast buffet with a great selection -- typical of NH hotels -- is on offer here, along with a simple cocktail bar on-site. While there is a fee for in-room Wi-Fi and some guests complain about street noise, the property is clean and offers a great location near three of Madrid's most popular museums.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23, 2004 The world has become a safer place, thanks to the United States and its coalition allies who are leading the world in the war on terror, President Bush told reporters today following his annual defense strategy meeting at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.
Following a far-reaching meeting with key defense advisers, including Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Joint Chiefs Chairman Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, Bush cited successes in the war on terror: the Taliban seriously weakened, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein behind bars and Libyan leader Col. Muammar Qadhafi now operating as a U.S. ally, among them.
Following briefings by Rumsfeld; Myers; Army Gen. John Abizaid, head of U.S. Central Command; and Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the top U.S. general in Iraq, who participated via teleconference, Bush told reporters the fight against terrorism is far from over.
"There's more work to be done in fighting off these terrorists. I clearly see that," the president said. "I understand we've got to use all resources at our disposal to find and bring these people to justice."
Bush called intelligence "a vital part of winning this war against these terrorists" and said that to do so, "You've got to know who they are, what they're thinking, where they are."
The president told reporters he's "interested in how to get the best intelligence to my desk so I can be a good decision maker on behalf of the people of this country" and said he welcomes input on how to reform the U.S. intelligence effort.
"We're looking at all options aimed at making sure that I and future presidents have got the best information possible," he said.
Although the president did not share details, he said the defense strategy meeting included discussions about subjects ranging from progress in Iraq to defense transformation to the reconfiguration of U.S. forces around the world.
Bush praised Rumsfeld for doing "a great job" in proposing a strategy that will enable the United States to better protect itself and its allies in the 21st century. This proposal, the president pointed out, followed close, positive consultations with U.S. allies.
Also participating in the session were Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and other White House and Pentagon officials.

Reimbursement for paid outs
by looloo34, Performer
- Created: December 10, 2009, 9:01 pm
I work in a reataurant and I am paid a weekly salary. If we run out of a certain item, we are forced to buy the item with our own money. We are reimbursed after we fill out the proper form but the checks take uo to seven weeks to arrive. There is also a policy that says we will not be reimbursed for any payout NOT is the current month.
I have two questions:
Is it legal to be forced to use our own personal funds instead of petty cash funds in a business in which you are employed?
If something is purchased for the sole use of the business, is it legal to not reimburse just because it was from a different month?
I think my employer stays within the laws but I just want to be sure since it keeps growing and policies keep changing.
Thank you.
OCBookkeeper | Creator | 12/11/2009 - 6:22 pm
A company cannot force you to do anything. If you don't have the money to pay for it-you don't have the money, therefore the companies problem. If you choose to have the company reimburse you I would try to stick with their policy to submit your receipts in the current month. Although, submitting them later should not be a reason for the company not to pay. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the legalities but forcing you to buy company items doesn't sound right to me. I always say, 'if you don't like where you work-find something else.'
NicoleD | Former Moderator | 12/13/2009 - 8:51 pm
Hi looloo34 - I don't have expertise in this area, but you can contact your local Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) field office to find out your rights as an employee.
MerchantMan | Creator | 12/15/2009 - 9:12 am
I would not purchase another item until I was reimbursed for the last item regardless of what month the receipt was submitted. I do not see how you could be forced to buy an item just let them run out. It is time to find a new job you should not be a loan company to your employer.
