F. Goodrich Company, New York, N. a corporation of New York Filed Dec. 15, 1967, Ser. No. 691,053 Int. Cl. B60c 9/10 U.S. Cl. 152-330 6 Claims ABSTRACT F THE DISCLOSURE Background of the invention A tire having radially disposed carcass reinforcing cords and a circumferentially extending inextensible belt, or overhead, beneath the tread possesses characteristics that result in improved tire performance among which are increased tread wear, decreased rolling resistance and better cornering ability. Such tires have, however, been more diicult to make than the so-called conventional or bias cord tires wherein the carcass reinforcing cores extend from bead-to-bead in adjacent layers and cross the circumferential plane of symmetry at opposite acute angles.
The manufacture of bias-angle carcass tires is most commonly performed by sequentially laminating layers of rubber-covered parallel extending cords and the rubber stock for forming the tread in flat-band form upon a cylindrical drum. The uncured tire is then expanded radially outwardly at the tread region and the beads are moved axially toward the center to a generally toroidal configuration just prior to or at the time the carcass is inserted into the vulcanizing mold. This is possible since the arrangement of the cords diagonally or on a bias angle in the carcass permits repositioning by a pantographing action as the carcass is shaped from the flat band to the toroidal configuration.
Heretofore, complete fabrication of radial cord tires in at band form on a single cylindrical building drum has not been possible. This is due to the fact that the circumferentially extending belt or girdle of low angle reinforcing cords in the crown region of such tires is substantially inextensible in the circumferential direction. Hence, while the radially extending plies of the carcass can be assembled and the bead cores applied upon a conventional cylindrical tire building drum, the incom plete fiat band tire must either be removed from the building drum or an expandable building drum employed to shape the carcass to the generally toroidal configuration prior to the application of the belt or girdle and the tread stock. This has either necessitated a two-step building process or the use of a specially constructed building drum. In either case, labor and machinery costs are greater than for conventional tires.
Summary of the invention The present invention provides a solution for the above-identified problem of expense in building radial tires in that a tire having a carcass of radially extending cord reinforcement surmounted by a belt or girdle of generally circumferentially extending cords can be cornpletely fabricated in flat band form on a conventional tire building drum before it is expanded to the generally toroidal shape.
This is made possible, while employing conventional substantially inextensi'ble reinforcing cords disposed axially of the carcass band, by utilizing for the circumferentially extending belt or girdle a plurality of plies of low bias angle reinforcing cords which have initially a low tensile modulus until stretched a predetermined and limited amount and then abruptly change to a much higher modulus so that they become substantially inextensible. These cords of predetermined stretchability comprise textile yarns helically wrapped around a pre-vulcan ized continuous core of elastomeric material with the size of the core and wrapping as well as the helical pitch of the latter so chosen that the cords become substantially inextensible after elongating in the range of 40-45% of their initial length.
The present invention permits the complete assembly of a radial tire carcass such that the carcass may then be expanded to toroidal configuration in a single step without further assembly operations. Heretofore, special machinery has been required for assembling the tread stock to the expanded toroidal carcass prior to vulcanization. The present invention eliminates this step and, therefore, the need for any special machinery other than the conventional tire building drum.
Brief description of the drawings FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a partial transverse section of a shaped and cured tire made in accordance with this invention with the portion of the tread stock and sidewall cut away to expose the reinforcing cords.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of the stretchable reinforcing cord.
FIG. 3 is a partial longitudinal section of a tire building drum with the assembled tire shown at completion of lamination and ready for removal from the drum.
FIGURE 4 is diagrammatic showing of the mechanism whereby the stretchable cords elongate and reposition themselves during expansion.
Detailed description The invention is illustrated in FIG. 1 as it is preferably embodied in a radial pneumatic tire 10 comprising a pair of axially spaced beads 11, a pair of sidewalls 12 and tread portion 13. 'Ihe carcass is reinforced by substantially inextensible cords 14 preferably formed of twisted strands of rayon, nylon, polyester, wire or glass interconnecting the beads 11 and disposed in equally spaced radial planes. In the preferred form of the invention, two layers of radial cords are used; however, as few as one or more than two layers may be used as required for strength.
The tread region, and preferably the radial outer portion of the sidewalls are provided with a restrictive belt formed of reinforcing cords 15 illustrated in FIG. 2 superposed radially outwardly of the cords 14. Preferably, two pairs of layers 16 and 17 are employed with the cords 15 in each layer in parallel closely spaced relationship extending obliquely across the plane of symmetry of the tire, and with the cords in successive layers 16 ad 17 disposed at equal but opposite angles in the range of 15-18 degress relative to the circumferential plane of symmetry. Preferably, the cords are spaced at 12-20 cords per inch of width. The cords 15 are, as hereafter more particularly described, made of material having an initially low tensile modulus and are capable of abruptly changing to a substantially higher tensile modulus after an extension an amount in the range 3070% of the' initial length. In the presently preferred form, the cords extend by an amount of 40-45% for a typical passenger cord tire before the aforesaid change in modulus. The layers of cords have a lateral extent at least equal to the width of the tread and at least two of the layers 16 may extend into the sidewalls 12. Even the widest two of these layers are not, however, attached to the beads but have the edges thereof in spaced relationship to the beads. Generally, in the completed tire the radially innermost pair of layers 16 of bias angle stretchable cords 15 extend axially beyond the Width of the tread portion 13 to the axially widest portion of the sidewall; whereas the radially outer pair of layers 17 of bias angle stretchable cords 15 do not exceed in width the width of the tread portion of the tire and are preferably the same width as the tread portion. However, if desired, the radially inner layers 16 of stretchable cords may also be made the same width as the tread portion instead of extending into the sidewall region.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the presently preferred form of the cords 15 is shown, enlarged and in greater detail, as comprising a core 15a of vulcanized elastomeric material with yarns 15b of substantially inextensible textile material wrapped helically therearound. In the presently preferred form, the core 15a is a single filament of round transverse cross-section but may alternatively be of polygonal shape and the invention is not limited to the round configuration. Furthermore, the core 15a is not limited to a single filament of elastomeric material but may be made of two or more filaments twisted together. The textile yarns 15b, which should be multi-filaments of substantially inextensible material, are wrapped about the core `15a such that the coils of the yarns 15b are not abutted when the cord 15 is in the released configuration as shown in FIG. 2. In the preferred embodiment when the cord 15 is stretched a pre-determined amount to the region of said higher tensile modulus as above described, the core 15a assumes a helical configuration while the yarns 15b are taut and substantially extend along the axis of their initial helix. Hence, the core 15a can then be considered as being wrapped helically around the outer diameter of yarns 15.
In the presently preferred embodiment of cords 15 for a passenger car tire, the core 15a is a single filament of .023 inch diameter elastomer and the textile wrap 15b is made of three 2200` denier rayon yarns individually pre-twisted prior to helically wrapping around the core in three coaxial helices of the same pitch and pitch diameter. In the preferred practice, neither the diameter of the core 15a nor the diameter of the textile yarn 15b exceeds .050 inch in diameter and both have preferably the same diameter. The preferred spacing of the cords is obtained by using from 10-20 cords per inch of width. The invention, however, is not limited to the particular stretch cord configuration shown in FIG. 2. Any suitable cord structure may be used which has initially low tensile modulus and abruptly changes to a substantially higher modulus after a pre-determined elongation in the range 30-70% of its initial length. Further details of the preferred stretchable cord are presented in our copending application Ser. No. 670,694, filed Sept. 26, 1967, entitled Reinforcement for Elastomeric Articles.
In practicing the present invention, the uncured tire is completely assembled, as shown in FIG. 3, on a conventional cylindrical tire building drum 30, which is substantially the diameter of the beads 11. When the uncured tire carcass is completely assembled on the building drum, the carcass is removed from the drum for further shaping and vulcanization.
In building of the tire as shown, the elastomer covered layers of reinforcing cords 14 are applied to the drum 30 with the cords 14 disposed substantially axially on the drum. For tubeless inflation, an air-impervious lining layer may be first assembled onto the drum, if desired. The bead cores with the attached flipper strips are then placed in the marginal edges of the cord layers 14 and the' latter turned thereover. In the presently preferred form, two axially disposed layers of cord 14 are used; however, the invention does not require any particular number of such layers, the choice being determined by the strength requirements of the completed tire.
The belt or girdle is then applied while the carcass remains in the drum 30. This belt comprises at least two pairs of layers 16 and 17 of stretch cords 15 superposed circumferentially over the radial cord layers in a band centered intermediate the ends of the drum, with the stretch cords extending obliquely to the axis of the building drum. Preferably, the two pairs of layers 16 and 17 of stretch cords are employed making an angle in the range of 0-30 relative to the circumferential center line of the band with the angles of the cords in successive layers equal in amount but oppositely directed. However, the invention is not limited to two pairs of layers 16 and 17 since a greater or lesser number of layers of cords 15 may be utilizied dependent upon the size and load carrying capacity of the completed tire. In the presently preferred form of the invention, the radially inner pair of layers 16 of stretchable cords 15 extends in width axially toward each bead to substantially the midpoint of the sidewall region of the carcass. When the tire is expanded to toroidal configuration, the pair of layers of stretchable cord 15 which extend into the sidewall region provide protection against separation under local impact for the underlying cords 14.
A second annular pair of layers 17 of stretchable cords 15 is then applied in radially outwardly superposed arrangement over the first pair. The second or radially outer pair 17 of layers is axially narrower in width than the radially inner pair of layers 16 such that the outer pair of layers 17 extend axially a distance not to exceed the width of the tread portion of the tire. Alternatively, if separation protection of the radial cord reinforced sidewall portion of the carcass is not desired, the inner pair of layers 16 of the stretchable cords 15 may be made to extend axially generally the same width as the radially outer pair of layers 17 of stretchable cords 15 and thereby reinforce only the tread region of the carcass with four layers of stretchable cord.
The tread stock 13 and sidewalls 12 of uncured elastomer are then applied over the cord layers completing the tire assembly. The building drum 30 is then collapsed by an internal mechanism and the uncured tire is removed from the drum in fiat band form. The tire is subsequently expanded radially and shaped to substantially toroidal configuration and vulcanized by conventional procedures and apparatus now used for tires employing bias angle carcass cord reinforcement.
In shaping the tire, the crown portion of the tire increases in diameter and the beads are moved axially inward. This is possible since the cords 15 elongate to provide expansion of the carcass into lthe toroidal configuration and thus the inextensible axial cords 14 assume a radial arrangement in the toroidal tire.
Heretofore, it has not been possible to assemble in fiat band form tread reinforcement layers of cords which make angles within the above-mentioned range with the axial mid-plane and extend over the crown region of the tire into the sidewall region and then expand the tire to toroidal configuration. The present invention permits such assembly and expansion by virtue of the extensible nature of the stretchable cords 15.
Referring now to FIG. 4, the mechanism whereby the stretchable cords 15 elongate and reposition themselves during expansion is shown diagrammatically. Typical cords 15 are shown schematically extending obliquely the width w of one of the radially outer layers. The solid black lines indicate the initial angular position a0 and length lo of the cord when the plies containing such cords are assembled in at band form. The dashed lines illustrates the increased length l, and changed angular position af of the cord 15 when the carcass has been expanded to toroidal configuration. The width w of the belt layer remains substantially unchanged during expansion or lifting of the carcass which is attributable to the ability of the cord 15 to stretch from the initial length .lo to the final length lf while the cord moves angularly through an angle measured by the difference between the initial angle an and the final angle af. The direction of the circumference of the tire is shown for easy reference in FIG. 4 by an arrow.
The distance the layers yof cords 15 distend in the circumferential direction, or the amount of circumferential expansion, may be determined by the difference between circumferential component Xf of the final cord length and the circumferential component of the initial cord length X0. Thus, since the extensibility E of the cord 15 is defined as the ratio of final length lf to initial length lo and expressed as and the tire circumference expansion ratio K, defined as the ratio of the circumferential components of the cord, is
and further, since Hence, for example, for a 15.5 x 38 tire having an expansion ratio K=1.38 and a final cord angle of 18,
it will be seen that tan `et=K tan af=1.38 tan 18=.449
ao=arctan .449=24.2 which is the angle for the cords 15 in the flat-band condition of the tire. Also,
which is the extension ratio required for the cords. The manner in which the number of turns per inch of the yarns 15b, the radius of the helix and other parameters of the cords 15 can be determined, to provide this desired extensibility before transition from the low to high tensile iications and adaptations by those skilled in the art and therefore is limited only as required by the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Eight days after the massacre of 20 first-graders at Sandy Hook Elementary, where each child was shot with a Bushmaster .223, The Nation's Gun Show, the biggest east of the Mississippi, opened.
DEAR DIDI: I have an 8 month old in-tact male pom mix. He continues to mark on the rugs even though I have potty pads out. He mostly goes on the pads, but still continues to also pee on the rugs near his crate and in the hall. I let him outside several times a day. I don't know what else to do, please help.
No sooner had the new Democratic supermajorities in the state Legislature been sworn in than some of their members began pushing to make the least fair of all taxes easier to impose.
Do you eat lunch at your desk? Alone? Continuing to work as you chew?
One cheer out of a potential three is all anyone can logically give the fiscal-cliff deal. On the day after the bargain was clinched, the stock market gave a 300-point cheer. So be it.
During George W. Bush's presidency, it was a matter of liberal faith that the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on al-Qaida members "undermine our moral authority and do not make us safer," as Barack Obama once put it. According to Obama, "enhanced interrogation techniques" are wrong, and - no matter what common sense tells you - they never work. Asking nicely works best with terrorists.
CNN's Piers Morgan writes that the pro-gun crowd's anger toward him stems from anti-British bias: "This gun debate is an ongoing war of verbal attrition in America - and I'm just the latest target, the advantage to the gun lobbyists being that I'm British, a breed of human being who burned down the White House in 1814 and had to be forcefully deported en masse, as no American will ever be allowed to forget."
At long last, our dream has come true, freeing us from the drudgery that has oppressed so many people over the past 500 years or so - namely, having to use our hands to open a bottle of wine.
It tells you something about the news media that before the House vote Tuesday, talking heads were warning Americans that unless the GOP House voted for a bill to stall our going over the fiscal cliff, taxes would go up on 98 percent of Americans. President Barack Obama's big talking point matched the cable news narrative. Breaking news: Republicans were ready to raise taxes on the middle class to shield top earners from a tax increase.
Millions of Americans watched the ball drop on New Year's Eve. The glitzy one in Times Square symbolized joy and hope for the New Year. Just a few hundred miles to the south, Congress dropped another ball - one that no doubt sent champagne glasses clinking among the richest 1 percent. But the rest of us shouldn't celebrate.
Unlicensed drivers are nearly three times likelier than licensed drivers to cause a fatal crash in California. Indeed, unlicensed drivers are likelier to cause fatal crashes than drivers who have had their licenses suspended or revoked. So found a new study released by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
It's not just about the bird.
The idea for massacring children in an elementary school or shooting up a mall filled with Christmas shoppers does not come from reading books, watching movies or listening to music. Does the incitement for such unspeakable acts come from hours of role-playing violent video games?
This special day got me to thinking about America's spirit of giving, and I don't mean this overdone business of Christmas gifts. I mean our true spirit of giving - giving of ourselves.
I recently mentioned in a column on renewable energy that solar power could generate half of the world's electricity by 2050. I cited the International Energy Agency as my source.
The brilliant actor Benedict Cumberbatch is in hot water for getting his words wrong. Appearing on Tavis Smiley's show, the Oscar-nominated star of "The Imitation Game" took a strong stand in favor of greater diversity in Hollywood.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters descend on Washington every January to "March for Life," protesting the horror of more than a million abortions in America every year. Every year the "news" outlets report next to nothing, even when their reporters are there documenting the event as their cameras film it.
The Super Bowl is well timed. It comes mid-winter, a month after our New Year's resolutions begin deflating, when the market is teetering, our finances are squeezed, and the collections agencies calling day and night. For those who were fortunate to make some income last year, the 1099's or W-2s arrive, and we brace ourselves to face off with the IRS.
So why is it that while other states are now enjoying gas prices of less than $2 per gallon, California is still paying higher prices?
First lady Michelle Obama made an important statement when she showed up in Saudi Arabia with her husband Tuesday to mourn the death of King Abdullah and meet successor King Salman. Though the first lady dressed in a fashion respectful of Saudi custom - in black pants and a long, loose jacket that fully covered her arms and legs - she did not don a headscarf. Saudi women do not have that choice. Thus, the first lady made a fashion statement that sent a politely assertive message to the all-male Saudi delegation.

Perl scripts send log messages to Twitter
Unfortunately, Net::Twitter and the long list of dependent modules from CPAN are not available as Ubuntu packages. However, calling a CPAN shell (perl -MCPAN -eshell) will let you install the required dependent modules by typing install Net::Twitter. Because Net::Twitter also loads Moose and supports OAuth, your mileage may vary, and a coffee break is recommended.

What the heck would *you* do???
My DH and I have a little townhouse in another state. The HOA board has gone from weird to tyrannical petty despots.
Ex: New Rules & Regs...I can't park my car in my own carport as storage (gee, I PAID FOR THE TOWNHOUSE AND CARPORT, how do they expect me to drive my car and not store it there when I work out of state???) I had to "petition" to be able to park it there.
Ex: "new" Rules and Regs (which also say the Board has the right to add, change, amend, delete any Rules and Regs at any time) say that the INTERIOR of the units must be keep clean and sanitary at all times and the Board HAS THE RIGHT TO ENTER TO CHECK IT OUT. (Huh? Is it their business how our friend, who lives there, keeps house? He's really neat and clean!) Actually, I think I'd refuse entry and then tell them they are tresspassing, but still, what the heck gives them the right to do this???
Ex: All pets must be on leashes (BUT this doesn't include THEIR cats who poop in everyone's yard!!! Yes, I brought this up at a board meeting but was told "all pets" meant dogs and not their "kitties.")
Ex: any time you do something to your unit, interior or exterior, you must notify the board in writing (I put up storm doors so notified, replaced a window screen and did NOT notify, redid the bathroom floor and did NOT notify, put up a ceiling fan and did NOT notify--oooh, I'm in trouble, I guess!)
...and those examples are just the tip of the iceberg.
Anyway, these people just got voted "in" in June, and are not likely to be ousted as the other owners really don't care to take on the job. During the monthly meetings during the summer, I'm the only owner besides the Board members to attend the meetings, so these folks pretty much have carte blanche!
My townhouse is an end unit, one story so no one is above me, and the shared wall to the side is the living room shared wall as opposed to sharing a bedroom common wall. It's pretty quiet and nice except for the HOA Board.
My dilemma:
I have the option to buy a new townhouse when it's finished being built (Phase 1 & 2 are completed, Phase 3 will begin soon)--same area, BUT the new townhouse would have someone above me as well as to the side of me. I don't know if the shared wall would be a common wall with bedroom on each side, or if the shared wall would be the living area of both townhomes as it is in my current townhome. I have NO idea of the rules and regs or the CCRs of the new place. The new townhouses would be larger and have a garage as well. Would I be going from the frying pan into the fire? Who knows!
I also have the option to purchase a house, but that would put me in debt for another 20 or 30 years, and would prevent me from early retirement (if I wanted to take early retirement). On the other hand, a house wouldn't have any association or board associated with it. Also, with a house, I'd have to do all the yard work and maintenance, so that's a negative. While I don't really want to take care of a yard for a house (and could NOT afford to hire someone if I'm making housepayments, and our friend who would live there isn't exactly a spring chicken for yardwork either), I wouldn't have to answer to anyone.
I guess I'm leaning toward the new townhouse just to get away from the Board that's there now.
Any suggestions? I'm only there for vacations and summer.
The most disturbing thing is the ability to enter your dwelling for inspection. If you are truly the owner, I don't think that is legal. If you are renting, that is another story. And even if you are renting, the owner needs to provide reasonable cause for entry (i.e., repair).
The carport thing probably came about because someone at some time may have put their vehicle up on blocks and left it there. That is not a nice thing to do to your neighbors.
If 'all pets' are required to be leashed, then you should contact the pound when you see an unleashed animal so it can be properly taken care of. Regardless of whether it is a dog or a cat. Animals need to be protected. And if you can tick off a board member in the process, you get a twofer. ;-)
And if I were you, I'd consider moving. Unless you really want to battle with these folks for any length of time. Any new dwellings you look at will require that you research what their rules and regs are.
I have been there and done that. Your board sounds like a slightly-less-twisted version of the board in my former condo building. You really have to weigh what is most important to you. Are you willing to fight these lunatics on every. single. point. until. the. end. of. time??? If so, then stay and/or buy another unit in this same complex.
If you think they'll eventually let up, DON'T! You have described an association that is either too intimidated or too apathetic to get involved. The board, as it is now, has little or no chance of changing because the other homeowners just do not care enough to get involved.
My choice in this circumstance was to get the he!! out. I made it just in time, too. Just after the sale of my unit, the association slapped everyone with a $5,000-$10,000-per-unit special assessment (much of which they pocketed). They became involved in lawsuit after lawsuit, some of which continue to this day. Who pays for that? The homeowners, of course. Payment of legal fees comes out of their association fees.
It's your decision to stay or leave. But after reading your story, I sense that in a few more months, you'll be where I was two years ago.
Sooz ... "all pets" means ALL PETS! Report them ALL, including their poopy cats. If they meant "dogs" they shoulda wrote Dawgz!
As for the "right to enter" - I don't think any state law gives them the right to trespass. Even landlords have to give notice, and everyone else needs a warrant and a complaint.
first- research the rules and regs in phases 1 and 2...
second. start packing.
you're describing the scenario that several of my friends have been in- one decided to take over the board, but it took an enormous investment of time and energy to do it (one of the interesting thing is that the best person isn't the one who WANTS it, but the one who doesn't, but is willing to do it rather than see it be done by the corrupt or incompetent)
the rest just moved. lost thousands in the process- but the improvement in their emotional health was worth it in the long run.

Who knows. maybe Aizen really was stringing him along and took away his real power to make sure he could see just to use kyouka suigetsu on him. That and his hair was too hard to draw so kubo said FU.
Who knows. maybe Aizen really was stringing him along and took away his real power to make sure he could see just to use kyouka suigetsu on him. That and his hair was too hard to draw so kubo said FU.
His ressurecion was fking fugly. Aaroniro Had a better release than him. Heck, even Zomari GAY release was better than him. From a Shinigami Captain with a cool bankai to change to such low form, if I were Hisagi, I'll kill him in split sec and squash him like a bug like he deserve. FU Kubo for making such a fugly released !! The dick mask was waaaaay better and i think everyone would be satisfy with it.
I too really hope Tousen is dead and stays that way. What if Kubo finally learned how to end battles quickly.
I don't know why but I like the ways shikais are being used. First we were told that bankais are ultimate badass but now appropriate use of shikais is bringing down captain-level opponents.
Ugh... Finally the bastard's dead! That's one character that always pissed me off. Got killed in style too! Go Hisagi!

That... was mind blowingly stupid. I've actually got a pretty high tolerance for PIS but this is just the definition of wallbanger. One of Aizens supposed top guys taken out by one irritating lieutenent with less (fight) screen time than a disposable arrancarr.
Gin better get a better fight than that.
Sort of a lame death but I'm glad Hisagi took him out in such a simple way, it's like a slap in the face to Tousen. Though I'm extremely disappointed in Komamura for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING this fight despite being stronger than Hisagi. Seriously though, Tousen's never annoyed me this much. I always thought he was a more ambiguous sort of character with shades of grey but these past few chapters have been downright painful. Why so all the villains HAVE to go into an insane rant to prove their point? Couldn't Tousen be bad and polite and courteous at the same time? No, he has to go crazy and totally discredit his former self. It's pretty sickening. Though I have found new respect for Komamura for being a real friend to Tousen - Tousen didn't deserve it. Glad he's gone.
But Gin better have a nicer battle, with his opponent hopefully putting up an actual fight. And not get beaten half-assedly by Kira, however much it may be poetic.
Most of all I wanna see Shinjii fight Aizen, it looks like Shinji's finally gotten over his hysteria.
I think Gin's gonna be a long fight, probably. Kubo has to show his bankai and his Vizard form before he will be taken down. Or unless Kubo gonna make him release all in 1 chapter, then diff story.

Ashima Chiber keeps her directorial debut film simple and entertaining
Ferrari Ki Sawari, Hamara Bajaj and now Mere Dad Ki Maruti. What do all these films have in common? While the story idea of all three revolves around the gaadis, Ashima Chiber from Hyderabad is in the driver's seat currently overseeing the post production of the last one, produced by Y-Films.
The Ferrari brand symbolises ambition, power and status. It's about dreaming big and working towards achieving our dreams. Maruti, on the other hand, is the common man's car and MDKM respects that. Y-Films is a small banner (though backed by Yash Raj Films) and stars Saqib Saleem, who debuted in Y-Films' Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge, as the male protagonist. Rhea from the just-released M.S. Raju's Tuneega Tuneega is the heroine. MDKM also marks the directorial debut of Ashima Chiber.
The story is set in Chandigarh and tells the tale of a young college goer who is in trouble Ferrari Ki Sawariwhen he steals his father's new Maruti car to impress a girl, but ends up losing it during a wedding. His dream is an immediate one – to find it before his father and the wedding guests realise it's missing. The film being touted as a hilarious comedy and also along the line captures the contrast that is India. Ashima says, "Some part has been shot, some post production is on. Neeraj has written the story. It is a great film with young people and looks at their aspirations. It is a fun story and very simplistically shot."
Ashima who studied at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in Hyderabad, had always wanted to do films. In Mumbai she had been associated with some of the most talented directors, beginning as Shimit Amin's First Assistant Director (AD) on Ab Tak Chappan and Chak De India among others. Ashima's last project was as First AD to Imtiaz Ali on Rockstar.
"I shifted to Delhi to do BA and MA and then moved to Mumbai where everything fell into place. Until then I grew up watching Telugu films and was completely removed from Hindi cinema. I had a theatre background, we had a theatre campus and that is how my story telling process started. I feel so lucky — there are so many talented filmmakers and not all get the right break at the right time. As directors, we carry a bit of everyone in our films. It's like people reaching out to God for light. I am lucky I worked with the best directors. My film is not yet complete so I can't say much about it. Things can swing either way," she signs off.
Keywords: Ashima Chiber, Ferrari Ki Sawari, Mere Dad Ki Maruti, Y-films

Orchidnick and your paphs.
So how are the paph armeniacums and micranthums doing that you received threw the mail? How many are still alive out of how many and how are you growing them?
Thanks for the update!
All are alive and several have bloomed. The armeniacum that bloomed was looked at by an AOS judge who happened to be at a meeting, his comment is that it has good color and shape but was small. 1st bloom, I don't know if they'll get bigger.
I'm growing them cool and moist.They are in the warmest part of the cold GH but they are certainly not warm, temp keept below 78F.
They came from a Chinese Ebay vendor who sends them to NJ. From there they were sent to me.
Here is the link to the posting on the orchid gallery.

There are stylish, appealing, and visually creative themes aplenty to choose from, as are plugins that provide features and functionality for almost any purpose.
It is 'Open Source' so there are no costly license fees at the outset or to renew regularly.
It is built using PHP coding and MySQL database systems, which are respected, robust, reliable, well supported and are also 'open source'.
WordPress is so popular.
It has taken the internet by storm. Last time I looked 22% of all websites on the web were running websites with WordPress, that's more than 74 million websites using it globally. Around 60% for all CMS (Content Management Systems) websites use it.
Some of the world's very notable and respected websites are reported to be built with WordPress, including the websites for governments and internationally renowned newspapers.
WordPress is the 'bees-knees' and has left Joomla, Drupal, Magento and other CMSs languishing in the dust.
Unfortunately there is another side to the story.
The Dark Side
Updates & Backups
Websites operating on WordPress (WP) need to be backed up regularly including databases and the php code files. This is perhaps less of a big deal than it was, as there are now more automated systems to do this on a routine schedule. It was something that was initiated manually, until recently and unless you completely trust the system, it still needs to be monitored to ensure the integrity of the process.
To ensure security vulnerabilities and bug fixes are plugged and up-to-date, it is important to have the latest version of WP installed. This used to require doing a manual backup of the database and PHP files ahead of any updates as there was a risk that something would go wrong or not work. If you just have one or two websites this is not perhaps a very big issue, but if looking after 20-30 websites, as a small website developer may do, this becomes a regular and major chore.
Asynchronous Updates
Every time WP is updated or a new version released, there is a risk that plugins or themes will not be compatible with the updated version. In my experience asynchronous updates between WP and plugins/themes have been a major headache. When this happens, at best, that function or feature stops working. At worst the entire website goes down. This has happened to me on several occasions. The issue then needs to be debugged, usually from the back-end, which can be much more involved technically than the apparent simplicity WordPress touts. It's not for the feint hearted and if you have numerous websites to look after, this is a nightmare.
At least in the days of manual updates you could deal with one website at a time and use learnings from upgrading/fixing one website for the next.
Plugin/themes updates can happen independently to WP updates
Imagine you operate 20 websites with an average of 12 plugins each
That's 20 backups, potentially up to 20×12 plugin updates with the risk of incompatibility bugs every time for every one,
Static Fantastic
In the old days you built a static HTML site, backed it up and walked away. If something needed modified or extended, you did the mod, backed it up and walked away.
The price we pay for wonderful, user friendly, great looking, powerful, versatile WP websites is that they are a millstone around a website developer's neck and to their customer who has to pay for a support package.
If someone with a good amount of web savy is looking after one or two of their own websites that could be easier to manage but they would still need to keep up to date with the state and complexity of the back-end 'art'. This takes a lot of the glitzy shine off of the lauded user friendliness. Plus any foray into code that is required may be fine for those who have well developed HTML or PHP skills but it takes away the idea that anyone with moderate PC skills and web awareness can do it.
Will my customers wear the monthly or annual support charges?
Simple brochure style sites don't need the high end CMS functions and while the increasingly drag and drop WP environment is a pleasure to use, the back-end complexity is overkill for these kinds of websites.
Unless you blog, publish news or other changeable information where archival, category & tag searches are useful then the back-end is superfluous.
Go Hard Wired
Commonly available free or low cost WP plugins for e-commerce are basic and okay for small trader websites, but not very great for customisation and large scale use. No doubt a professional developer could write some but with the likely costs involved it would be easier to write an entire dedicated solution.
Similarly there are numerous other functions that a user may require, that involve extensive and prolonged searches to find and test. In the end, there is no guarantee the search will find suitable plugins either free or commercially. Any plugins that look like they may do the job have to be installed to see if they do what is desired. they may or may not. It alkl takes up lots of time. Time that is hard to justify or charge against, either as a commercial enterprise or with the normal remit of any business.
Blogging on steroids
Wonderful though it is, WP is blogging on steroids. It is useful for a load of things but it has a plateau, it has limits.
It may be useful as a platform for developers to build there own custom plugins and themes but again they might choose to build their own site from scratch. Why risk the cost of building on a platform that may change beneath your feet?
The Perception of Free
Like many things on the web, if you know how to write code, there is so much that is free.
WordPress promotes the idea that it is free and easy to use. Charging professional fees for something that is 'free' is slightly harder to do and has many havc-a-goes chipping away at profit margins and the professional image of the industry.
Self Editing for Idiots
Then there is the self editing myth.
If you set up user accounts inside WordPress that allow the customer to create new content or of modify what the developer has set up, it is asking for trouble. Invariably Joe Public very often doesn't have the knowledge of how to lay pages out attractively, how to use simple and effective user-friendly navigation, nor how to construct well written content.They don't know the rules or net-etiquette.
Very soon the proud work of a developer will have spelling and grammatical errors to make the least erudite among us cringe. Strange or inappropriate graphics, images or colours that simply don't work will have the developer rushing to take their credit and link to their own website off, before anyone thinks the hotch-potch is of their doing.
So keep the idiots away from self-editing and corrupting or destroying your tasteful hard work. If they must have some input keep it to the minimum and watch it like a hawk.
The Utopian Nightmare
For me, the wonders of WordPress have been undermined by the practical reality.
On one hand it is fantastic and wonderful. But don't expect too much from it it you want to get creative and go off piste, unless you have the coding skills to maintain things when then go wrong.
I did create this article using WordPress. This website is a WordPress website. But when customers come along who want special functions on their website that I built for them, that's when it can all get too much.
So I'm now in the 'what's next?' zone.

When the alarm went off at 6:40a, we stumbled out of bed, drove the RV up the road to a grocery store parking lot, crawled into Dunkin Donuts, and are slowly rejoining the land of the living as the caffeine seeps into our bodies. Today cannot end fast enough.

The house is only 10 years old and is large, well constructed and in a lovely country road setting yet convenient for Jess & Aaron's daily lives and close enough to family.

As for this bloggy thing. I am testing it out. It probably won't work most of the time since I will be in remote areas. I think this website was designed for yuppies who never leave the grid. I am a yuppy who sometimes leaves the grid, so I am not sure if this will have any use. I will try to update ...

Marycel had final exams and a class project in the month of March, then is off for the months of April and May. A year from now, she will conclude school, also in March. It takes approximately 12 months to process a spousal visa, so the timing made sense for us to get married this trip so when she is through with her classes, she would be able to come to the United States.

In search of elegant but narrow shoe storage bench
I've searched a gazillion sites today for something for our entry hall. We're a "shoeless" household so we end up with a pile of shoes in our entry hall. Most of the shoes are ours, but we also have guests' shoes, too, and I'd like to tame the pile.
I'm looking for a storage bench that will be closer to the front doors for people to use to take off their shoes and to store their shoes. Unfortunately there isn't any wall space there. The best options are to have something in front of the non-opening door which might look funny OR to have a bench next to the doors, which would be at the bottom of the stairway, so it needs to be shallow, no more than 16" deep.
This is what I've found so far:
I liked this one but the cubbies are too small for our big shoes:
FWIW, I will eventually have another bench, probably tufted, for the "official" part of the entry hall, so I don't want to end up with two tufted benches for our entry.
Does anyone have any opinion, suggestions or other ideas? Thanks very much!
I got ours from Martha Stewart website three years ago. It's worked out really well for us. We usually change into indoor slippers when we go into the house. It's a Taiwanese custom.

You might try asking at the local hardware store, or put an ad in the Pennysaver, or even check the local bars for out of work carpenter (sadly from personal experience, but it's how we got our bathroom remodeled this winter).
Ask to see some examples of their work, show him or her lots of pictures! Base price depends on time & materials, paint is more forgiving than stain, pine is heavy and relatively cheap.
How about this black cubby bench at Target.com that is around 16" deep?

Thanks for all your responses. I knew you'd post benches that I haven't found. I really like some of them.
As far as style goes, I lean toward traditional or transitional, and I was envisioning a stained bench, in a color similar to our front doors. btw, the doors are not as dark as they appear in the photo.
This is our door from above. As you can see, there is no wall space to the right of the door. Either the bench would have to go in front of the left door, or in the area below the art niche. Each door is about 35" wide, and the art niche area is 59" wide. If I had a 60" bench there, it would have to overlap the door molding. I don't think that would look the best.
Here's a different view of the art niche area, before the stained front doors were put up:
What about something like this? I realize this is not the right finish, but I am guessing you could paint it out to the trim color or dark to match the entry doors. It is only about 7" deep. There are several other sizes on the IKEA site, but I have seen them other places as well, so you could probably search for a shoe cabinet and find others you like.
Thanks for the link Les. I was going to say that it's too high for the entry area, but would be perfect for our mudroom--but then I saw the legs. It looks like it only has front legs and needs to be mounted to the wall--which I'm not sure I'm willing to commit to. But I appreciate your help.
bungalow: Do you mean something for the middle of the entry hall, under the chandelier or so? I hadn't thought of using that area but I'm intrigued. But I think you're right; it would have to be custom. Maybe a round entry table with shoe storage. The entry area is just under 8' wide. I wonder if that's wide enough to have a table without feeling crowded.
Thanks again.
Hmm. An ottoman. I'll have to think about that. In the meantime, I found this on craigslist. Anyway, it's not for me but it's round. I don't know what to make of it. It reminds me of something but I can't figure out what.

Here's a couple.
Personally, this is my favorite -

This one is Asian, but I love the lines -
Hako Shoe Storage Bench (getabako) in Amber Bamboo
ladynimue: What great shoe storage pieces! I love the lines of the second one especially so I'll wait to see when they're going to start production again. Their other pieces are gorgeous but a little too deep.
Thanks prairiegirlz! A funny story: We bought a house that was being built and I walked in one day to find the half-columns being put up. Totally a surprise--and I wasn't sure it was a good surprise. But I've gotten used to them by now. And, besides, they match the columns outside.
The walls in the livingroom (the room with the rug pad) are Kelley-Moore Wise Owl. They appear darker in the photo than they are IRL. The livingroom walls are the same as the entry hall and art niche, which varies with the lighting.
If you're looking for a darker color, the powder room is by Kelley-Moore, and it's called Shabui. If you look through that doorway that's next to the art niche, you can see the sconce and walls of the powder room.
Just wondering if you could have someone knock out the space below the art niche and build in shoe shelves there, trim it out, maybe even add doors. Judging by the depth of the niche, it should have enough depth for shoes. It would be out of the way, not take up floor space and hide the mess that shoes can make
Funny Les, but we were just talking about that recently. We also talked about building cabinetry into the pony walls, where the columns are. I think I'd be hard-pressed to get DH to agree to construction of any kind around here though. But it is a great idea.
At this point I think I'll get something inexpensive but functional and then find out about having something built for the "official" entry hall area. If I make it longer than I had originally envisioned, and have storage built in, it could work.
Thanks again everyone!
Hi David,
That last one is from Home Decorators. It looks like they have different finishes and lengths, as well as styles. Good luck!

Yesterday on HGTV's green house giveaway, they showed a neat shoe bench. The bench part to sit on actually pulled out for you to sit. The cubbies were closed up and each had a pull on it. It is very narrow, since you have to pull the bench out to sit on it. It's called a trundle chest. I thought it was very nice looking. Here's a link to it http://www.hickoryhillholdings.com/
foxes garden,
With our youngest in a woman's size 9, we all have pretty big feet. I took DS with me to a storage store and made him take off his size 14 sneaker to see if they would fit. I don't think any "normal" shoe storage can handle those mammoth sneakers my son and his friends wear so we'll probably end up with either a large basket for those shoes or something custom made.
Good morning from Italy... I was browsing looking for funny stories to tell about shoe cabinets. I am writing a book about them. My factory makes a model that is less than 6 inches deep and holds between 9 and 15 pairs of shoes. Probably it is not as "elegant" as you need, but you can find more than one in every Italian home. I would like your opinion. Would it work in the US? Thank you, very much. Giuseppe (Joe)
