It is an object of the invention to provide a system of manufacture enabling pipes to be produced which are particularly suitable for laying overland and under the sea in very great lengths, and indeed of virtually infinite length, by a single machine.
According to the present invention in its broadest aspect, a continuous bonded fiber pipemaking machine includes arrangements for uninterrupted supply of fiber reinforcement and other pipemaking materials whereby pipes of unlimited length can be produced without carrying out pipe-jointing operations at intervals.
There have been a number of previous proposals for continuous machines to make such pipe but in all the cases of which we are aware these machines have not been truly continuous in the sense in which the word is used above in broadly defining this invention, i.e., in that they could make pipe up to any length required, for example for overland or undersea laying, without joints at intervals, but rather has the term continuous been used in the prior art to mean a machine from which pipe issues endwise with progressively increasing length until such time as the machine has to be stopped, usually because a supply material has run out, which procedure still necessitates the making of pipe joints at intervals even although the individual pipe lengths may be long and the joints therefore infrequent.
The machine according to the invention may operate in the manner whereby rovings are laid up on to a nonrotating mandrel or on to an extruded liner, the rovings being preimpregnated with bonding material which is subsequently cured or fused by heat to form a rigid or semirigid pipe. In the case of resin bonding, the resin impregnation will be at least partly cured to the condition known as the B stage, complete curing being subsequently effected by heat. The rovings will preferably be composed of a plurality of glass or other fibers, and may be in the form of cords of substantially circular section or in the form oftape or ribbon.
The rovings can be supplied from sets of bobbins or reels which, together with means for supporting and supplying the bobbins and heating means for bonding the fibers, comprise one winding stage. There may be provided one or more additional winding stages to produce a pipe of any desired wall thickness.
According to a preferred feature of the invention, provision is made for carrying, along with each roving supply bobbin or set of bobbins in use, a spare bobbin, and means is provided for bringing the spare bobbin into use automatically when the bobbin, or one of the set of bobbins, in use runs out, and for automatically replacing the spare bobbin by a fresh spare bobbin from a stock of bobbins. In this way, genuinely continuous production of pipe may be achieved.
The mandrel may have extruded over it a first layer of plastics or other material which serves to provide a seal for the fluids carried by the pipe. In the case of a plastics liner the plastics material so extruded will preferably be a thermoplastic such that it is at least partly solidified before the application of the layers of helical rovings. THe mandrel may be water-cooled,to assist in setting the extruded plastics layer which may also be cooled by the external application ofa coolant spray before lay up of the rovings takes place.
Where a first layer of plastics or other material is extruded over the mandrel, the mandrel may have a reduction in diameter to accommodate the shrinkage of this plastics layer as it cools. Preferably, the mandrel will extend only far enough to ensure that the first plastics layer has solidified sufficiently to provide a support for the rovings of the first winding stage.
As a further possibility, the plastics layer may be applied internally by extrusion after the pipe has left the heater of the first winding station.
The heating means may be infrared, dielectric or radio frequency heating. Additionally, hot gas may be directed on to the rovings after their lay up on the mandrel in order to preheat them prior to their arrival at the heater associated with the winding stage.
One or more further plastics layers may be applied externally to the rovings during the manufacture of the pipe, thus providing interlayers and/or an external sheath. These plastics layers may be applied as a liquid extrusion or spray. Alternatively they may be applied as a powder or frit which may be fused by passage through the heaters.
The reels or bobbins from which the rovings are supplied will preferably be wound without cores or formers, so that nothing remains when any reel runs out. Such reels are commonly known as cakes. Cakes to supply the helical rovings may be carried on spindles mounted on an annular support whose axis coincides with that of the mandrel and which is rotatable about the mandrel. The spindles may extend either forwardly, i.e., in the direction of movement of the pipe, or rearwardly of the annular support. The axial rovings can be supplied from cakes mounted upon stationary spindles.
The general operating principle will be more readily understood from the following description, given by way of example of one embodiment of the invention and variants thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a pictorial diagram of a winding machine,

FIG. I0 illustrates an arrangement for bringing about shifting of the rovings as the cakes are shifted along a cake-carrying spindle,
FIG. 11 shows a detail of the arrangement of FIG. 10,
FIG. 12 illustrates another means for shifting rovings, and
FIG. 13 illustrates means for pressure testing the completed pipe.
Referring firstly to FIG. 1 of the drawings an annular extrusion head 1 of known type extrudes over a mandrel a tubular layer of plastics material 1. Axial rovings 3 are supplied from cakes 4 mounted upon spindles 7 and are led via suitable tensioning means to guides 24 which apply the rovings 3 to the surface of the extrusion 2. Spare cakes 8 are also carried upon the spindles 7.
A first annular support 5 rotates about the mandrel and carries an offset spindle 6 upon which are mounted two cakes 9 from each of which the rovings 10 which form a first helical layer 15 are supplied via tensioning means 11 and guides 12'. At least one spare cake I3 is also carried on the spindle 6. Clearances 23 are maintained between the cakes for both axial and helical rovings.
A second annular support 14 rotates: about the mandrel in a direction opposite to that of the first annular support 5 and carries an offset spindle 16, cakes l7, l8, tension means 19 and guides 20 in a like manner to the first annular support 5 thereby laying up the rovings 21 in a second helical layer 22 at an angle to the first helical layer IS.
The free ends 26, 27 of the rovings on the spare cakes I3. I8 are held in a position near the rovings 28, 29 fed from their adjacent cakes 9, 17. A similar provision will be made in respect of the free ends of the rovings on the spare cakes 8 for the axial rovings 3.
A heater 24 bonds the rovings to form the pipe. Provision may be made to carry away vapors produced by the curing process.
Pressure rollers or tracks 25, suitably geared to the annular supports 5, l4, draw ofi the pipe. The axial rovings 3 operate to prevent the tension exerted by the pressure rollers 25 from opening the helicalrovings 15, 22 before the pipe is cured. Additional rollers 128 may be placed at intervals along the lengths of the machine to support the pipe and mandrel or the pipe alone.
The arrangement shown in FIG. 1 will pennit only a relatively low rate of manufacture if the rovings l and 21 are narrow. Faster manufacture may be achieved by increasing the speed of the machine. This will, however, introduce difficulties in maintaining a supply of cakes for the helical rovings. Faster manufacture will be possible at a relatively low machine speed if the helical rovings 10, 21 consist of wide bands.
Similarly if the axial rovings 3 consist of wide bands they may be spread by the guides so as substantially to cover the entire circumference of the extruded plastics tube 2. The guides may in this case be annular with their axes coinciding with the axis of the mandrel.
It is however disadvantageous for the rovings to be wound upon the cakes as wide bands, since this will introduce large discontinuities in the layup of the pipe when a cake runs out. Additionally, the cakes themselves will be large and difficult to handle,
Therefore, in the preferred arrangement, there will be a plurality of spindles upon each annular support and each spindle will carry a relatively large number of cakes. When a spindle is full at least one cake on that spindle will be a spare, and the remainder, referred to as working cakes, will supply rovings for lay up on the pipe. Rovings from each working cake will be led via tensioning means and guides to be laid up helically upon the pipe as previously described. Rovings from all the working cakes on any one spindle will preferably be led so as to lie adjacent to one another on the pipe in the form of a ribbon or band.
Similarly, a plurality of stationary spindles each with working and spare cakes, may be provided for the axial rovings so as to cover completely the mandrel or extruded tube as appropriate.
All the cakes on one or more spindles for either the axial or helical layers may be wound from rovings consisting at least in part of metal filaments such that each roving is electrically conductive along its whole length. Such rovings when embedded in the pipe can aid electromagnetic detection of the position of the pipe by any appropriate known means or be used as a conductor to transmit signals along the pipe.
An end view of an annular support in accordance with the immediately foregoing description is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2, in which the annular support 30 supports 20 spindles 31 each of which carries a number of cakes 32 at least one of which is a spare cake, the others being working cakes. Rovings 33 from each working cake are led via tensioning means 34 and guides 35 to be laid up helically on the pipe 36. Rovings from pairs of adjacent spindles, after passing through their respective tensioners, are led to a single guide and applied to the pipe 36 as bands 37. In one arrangement there will be I 1 working cakes on each spindle 31. Each band 37 will therefore consist of 22 rovings 33.
When any cake on a spindle runs out, thereby leaving a vacant space, the other cakes between the space and the outer end of that spindle will be urged to move sequentially so as to fill the space. It the machine is so constructed that the pipe axis is substantially vertical, all the spindles carrying cakes for both axial and helical rovings may be so orientated that the cakes will move under the influence of gravity.
in a preferred method of operation the cakes will be graded before starting the machine so that no two cakes on the same spindle contain the same length of roving, thereby ensuring that only one cake at a time runs out. Also preferably, the graded cakes will initially be arranged in ascending quantities of roving from the inner end of the spindle, thereby ensuring that the cake running out will always be the inner one at any stage of the pipemaking operation. Such an arrangement will cause the cakes to rotate at different speeds. They will therefore require to be separated on the spindle.
An arrangement of pawls or latches will ensure that the cakes move sequentially and also provide for separation of the cakes on the spindle.
FIG. 3 shows the operating principle of an arrangement of latches to ensure sequential movement of the cakes. The spindle 38 is supported by the annular support 39 and is machined or constructed to have an axial groove 40. A collar 41 spaces the inner cake 42 away from the carrier 39. A second cake 49 is shown carried on the spindle 38. At each cake location 48, 48, 48" pawls 43 free to rotate upon pins 44 are carried within the groove 40 and coact with latches 45. Springs 46 operate to rotate each pawl 43 so that its shorter limb 47 projects above the surface of the spindle 38 when no cake is present at the appropriate location, thereby allowing the latch 45 coacting with the other arm of the lever to be retracted and release the next adjacent cake above.
If the machine is constructed so that the pipe axis is substantially horizontal the cakes for the axial rovings may still be mounted so as to be moved by gravity. The cakes for the helical rovings must, however, be moved along the spindles by.
other means, which may be pneumatic or hydraulic or electromagnetic, or a mechanical linkage either alone or in combination with a pneumatic, hydraulic or electromagnetic system. The same will apply to the cakes for the axial rovings if their spindles are substantially horizontal.
A pneumatic, hydraulic or electromagnetic means, used for example in conjunction with the system already described with reference to FIG. 3, may have the gas, fluid or electrical supply as appropriate controlled by operation of the latch 45 or pawl 43 at the next inward cake location. Similarly, a mechanical linkage for moving the cakes may be arranged to cooperate with the latches or pawls previously described.
FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show the operating principle of one example of a mechanical linkage for moving the cakes horizontally. A cake 50 is mounted on a spindle 51 which has an axial groove 52. A catch 53 is mounted within the groove 52 and is constrained to move in conjunction with the pawl 43 about the pin 44 previously described with reference to FIG. 3. Also within the groove 52 is a bar 54 which has a constant linear reciprocating motion substantially parallel to the axis of the spindle 51. The reciprocating motion may be derived by any known means from the rotary motion of the annular support described earlier with reference to H08. 1, 2 and 3. The bar 54, carries levers 55, 56 rotatable about pins 57, 58 respectively. A roller 59 is mounted on one arm of the lever 55. Lever 56 coacts with a latch 60 which is free to move within the bar 54.
FIG. 4 shows the bar 54 near one extremity of its travel and with no cake acting to depress the pawl 43. As the bar 54 moves to the left, roller 59 engages the catch 53 and thereby rotates levers 55 and 56 tending to raise the latch 60. FIG. 5 shows a later stage in the operation of the linkage, wherein the levers 55, 56 have further rotated, rasing the latch 60 to move the cake 50 in unison with the rod 54.
FIG. 6 shows the rod 54 near the other extremity of its travel. The pawl 43 and catch 53 have been rotated together I by the combined action of the cake 50 and the roller 59. The roller 59 has dropped from the end of the catch 53, consequent rotation of the levers 55, 56 allowing the latch 60 to drop. So long as pawl 43 remains depressed by the cake 50 the roller 59 will move with the bar 54 without engaging the catch 53. Latch 60 will therefore remain depressed until the pawl 43 again lifts.
The sequential movement of cakes on any spindle as previously described will result in no cake being present at the outer location of that spindle. To ensure continuous operation arrangements must be made to supply a cake to any spindle immediately after completion of the sequential movement. Cakes for the axial rovings may be supplied by means of a simple chute or hopper since the spindles for these rovings will be stationary.
Cakes for the helical rovings will require to be fed on to moving spindles. On machines with a low consumption of cakes, i.e., those with few rovings or low speed or manufacturing small diameter pipe, it may be possible to feed the cakes by hand. Preferably, however, arrangements will be made to feed the cakes to these spindles automatically.
In the preferred arrangement, there will be a device whereby a substantially continuous supply of cakes is delivered adjacent to each annular support, together with means for ensuring that cakes are picked up from the supply device by those spindles which have one or more cakes missing. The absence from any spindle of a cake at its outer end may cause a marker or telltale to be operated or displaced by the spindle in such a way that it coacts with a corresponding detector or receptor on the device supplying the cakes, thereby initiating the transfer of a cake from the supply device to the spindle.
P10. 7 shows an example of a device in accordance with this principle. An annular support 61, rotatable about the pipe 741, carries four spindles 62 each with a graded stack of cakes 63, the outer cake 66 on each stack being the largest. The absence of a cake on a spindle 62 due to the sequential movement of cakes along that spindle will cause a telescopic section 65 to extend axially of the spindle 62. A chute 66 carries a supply of cakes 67 and has a curved portion 66 such that the radius of the locus of the center of a cake travelling in the curved portion 69 is parallel to that of the spindles 62. Cakes 67 are normally prevented from entering the curved portion 68 by a restraint 69. Mounted on the chute 66 is a guide 70 having a ramplike profile 71. The telescopic section 65 is partially compressed by the ramp 711 and then extends fully into the center of the next cake to be supplied 72, drawing it clear of the restraint 69. As the cake 72 moves along the curved portion 66 a further ramp 73 urges the cake 72 up the spindle 62 and fully compresses the telescopic section 65 which remains latched shut until the next sequential movement.
FIG. 8 shows an example of an alternative arrangement wherein the annular support 75 carries spindles 76 and cakes 77 in the manner previously described. A carrier 86 rotatable about the axis of the pipe 79 comprises a collar 76 and at least one arm 66 which supports a container 81 loaded with cakes 82 suitably spaced apart, the radius of rotation of the centers of the cakes 92 about the axis of the pipe 79 being equal to that of the spindles 76. A telescopic member 63 extends axially of the spindle 97 in the absence of a cake in the manner previously described with reference to FIG. 7 and engages and depresses a lever 66 causing a receptor 85 to extend from the axis of the container 61. Member 83 engages the receptor 85 and rotates the carrier 66 about the axis of the pipe 79. The rotary motion of the carrier 86 causes the cakes thereon to be moved towards the annular support 75 and a cake to be thereby loaded on to the spindle 87.
Immediately thereafter the same rotary motion of the carrier 96 causes the receptor 85 to withdraw and also resets the lever M. The container fill may be removed when empty from the arm tit) and replaced by another container having a further supply of cakes 82.
FIG. 9 shows a further example of a method of supplying cakes to the spindles for the helical rovings. An annular support 68 carries eight spindles 89. For the sake of clarity only one of the spindles $39 is shown loaded with a graded stack of cakes 96. In normal operation all the spindles 99 would carry cakes 90. A carrier 91 is rigidly joined to the annular support fit by means ofa tubular member 92. The axial spacing of the carrier 91 from the annular support 496 is such that the spindles 69 do not enter recesses 96 in the carrier 91. The carrier 91 and the annular support 88 are together rotatable about the axis of the pipe 93. The carrier 91 has eight recesses 94 of a suitable size to receive cakes 95, each recess 94 being positioned so that the axis of any cake within it is aligned with the axis of its associated spindle. The outer edges of the recesses 94 preferably have substantial radii 96. Surrounding the carrier 9ll is a fixed annular guard 97 which does not rotate with the carrier 91 and which serves to retain the cakes 95 and may also provide support for the carrier 91 by means of suitable hearings. The guard 97 has a gap 96 of sufficient width to permit a cake 99 to drop readily into a recess 94-. A chute 190, preferably of open construction, delivers a supply of cakes 1011 to the top of the carrier 91. A restraint 162 prevents the cake 99 from coming into contact with the carrier 91 or the cakes until a vacant recess 96 appears below the chute 100. The restraint 162 will be operated by detection means which determine the presence or absence of a cake within any recess 94. When any cake on any spindle 69 runs out a sequential movement of the remaining cakes, substantially as previously described, will take place and this movement will include the cake 95 within the carrier 91 associated with that spindle.
In an alternative arrangement, the carrier 91 and guard 97 are slidably mounted on the tubular member 92 and move forward to place cakes on all spindles simultaneously, this operation being carried out when suitable detection means indicate that all spindles have at least one cake missing.
In order to prevent significant discontinuities in the layup of the rovings on the pipe when the sequential movement of the cakes previously described takes place, it will be necessary to ensure that each roving is shifted to the next adjacent tension means and guides substantially simultaneously with the movement of the cake from which it is supplied. According to one arrangement each roving will shift as a result of the movement of its cake, this result being obtained by suitable configuration of the tensioners and guides and by arranging appropriate lead angles for the rovings.
FIGS. Ill) and 11 show an example of an arrangement which may be used to obtain such a shift of the rovings. FIG. 10 shows a general arrangement in which cakes 103 are carried on a spindle 194, which is mounted on the annular support 105. Rovings 166 from the cakes 103 are led via tension means 197 and guide 18 to a gather 109. A spare cake 126 from which no rovings are led is also mounted on the spindle 104. The tension means 107 consists of spring-loaded members 110 shaped so that when any cake 111 moves on the spindle 106, as previously described, the roving 112 which is led from it is caused to pass across the tension means 167 to a new position 112'. Movement to the position 112' will in turn cause the roving to move across the guide 108 to position 112". The portions 113 of the rovings may make sharp angles with the guide 198 on the way to the gatherer 199. The recesses 116 within the guide 1108 will require to be suitably shaped to prevent the rovings 112, 113 from moving across the guide 198 and tension means 167 as a result of the aforementioned angle. FIG. 11 shows one example of a configuration in which the guide 115 has recesses 116 whose surfaces are substantially the interpenetration face of a slant cone 117 with the guide 115. After leaving the smaller end 116 of the recess 1116 the roving 119 may be led away somewhat rearwardly of the recess 116. Chamfers 129 or radii may be provided over all or part of the length of the edges of the recesses 1 14.
When for any reason it is not possible to lead the rovings so as to ensure that they shift on the tensioners and guides entirely as a result of movement of the cakes, additional shifting means may be provided, preferably coacting with the means for providing sequential movement of the cakes as previously described. FIG. 12. shows an example of such shifting means interposed between the tension means and the fixed guides. The rovings 1211 pass over the tension means 122 and thence in front of shift bars 123, 126 before being led through the guide 125. Shift bars 123, 124i move sequentially in unison with the cakes, whereby the projections 126, 127 urge the rovings 121 to the next positions on the tension means 122 and guide 125. In an alternative arrangement there is only one shift bar which moves all the rovings simultaneously, preferably at the moment that an outer or spare cake is moved on the spindle.
In other arrangements the shift bar or bars may be interposed between the spindle and the tension means. or two complete shift bar systems may be used, one between the spin dle and tension means and one between the tension means and the guides.
It may be required for a variety of reasons to alter the angle of layup of the helical rovings, as for example if it is desired to produce a pipe of different diameter or if the total number of rovings is changed. Thus, provision may be made for readily altering the position of the gatherer 109, previously described with reference to FIG. 10, and its orientation with respect to the annular support 105. Provision may also be made for adjusting the position of any or all of the tension means and guides in order that appropriate lead angles for the rovings may be maintained.
At the end of any sequential movement of cakes on a spindle as previously described, a spare cake will be fed on to that spindle. The free or outer end of the roving contained on the spare cake will be gathered and held adjacent to the roving supplied from the outermost working cake. When the next sequential movement takes place the end of the roving from the spare cake will be placed against the roving from the outermost working cake, and sufficient pressure and heat applied to ensure that the rovings join together by virtue of the cure of their resin impregnation. Preferably this operation will take place sufficiently early in the sequential movement of the cakes to ensure that the join has passed clear of the tension means and guides before the outermost working cake moves along the spindle.
There may be provided a system for continuous pressure testing of the completed pipe, by maintaining within the pipe a zone containing a fluid under pressure. Such a zone will be sealed at either end by pistonlike members which are coupled so as to preserve a constant distance from each other and are free to move along the pipe. Fluid under pressure is introduced into the zone between the pistons at a flow rate equal to the known loss past the pistons. Leakage through the pipe walls will be detected as a fall in the supply pressures of the fluid. In the preferred arrangement, the pressure testing system will be positioned within the pipe at a point where the manufacturing process has been completed.
One example of such a pressure testing device is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 13. The pipe 129 leaves the mandrel in a cured condition. Further layers of plastics or rovings (not shown) may be applied. A tube 131 passes within the mandrel and carries fluid under pressure to a cavity 132 defined by the walls of the pipe 129 and two pistons 133, 134. Pistons 133, 134 have substantial chamfers 142 at the edges facing the mandrel, to facilitate entry into the pipe at the start of manufacture. Pistons 133, 134 are joined by pipes 135 which pass right through them and vent any pressure due to escape of fluid into the portion 136 of the pipe 129 remote from the mandrel 130. The pipes 134 are preferably either flexible, or flexibly jointed at their ends to the pistons 133, 134. The mandrel 130 contains a passage 137 extending over its whole length through which fluid lost past pistons 133, 134 may escape. The fluid pressure in the pipe 129 and cavity 132 is monitored by a pressure sensitive device 138. When not within the pipe 129 the pistons 133, 134 may be supported on or within mountings 139. The mountings 139 may have chamfers 140 adapted to direct the pipe 129 at the start of manufacture. Rollers 141 may be used to support the pipe 129 and any apparatus carried within it during manufacture.
A machine for making pipes in accordance with this invention can be installed in a suitable vehicle from which the pipe may be laid as it is manufactured, either on land or on water.
Two or more pipes, not necessarily of the same diameter may be produced substantially as hereinbefore described. These pipes may then be joined by banding or other suitable means so that they lie side by side with their axes substantially parallel. When the pipes are being laid in water it may be arranged that at least one of the pipes is filled with air or other gas to act as a flotation means for the remaining pipe or pipes.
Alternatively, when it is desired to sink the pipes to the bed of any body of water at least one of the pipes can be filled with concrete or ballast or some other dense particulate material which may be introduced into the pipe or pipes by pumping it in suspension in a liquid. Pipes to be used for ballast purposes may have the pressure test omitted from the manufacturing process, in which case the ballast may conveniently be introduced into such pipes by means of a tube passing through the mandrel and into the bore of the completed pipe.
In the laying of pipes under the sea, for example, the ballast used for the sinker pipe may conveniently be shingle, sand or mud dredged up from the sea bed. in a preferred arrangement, there may be inner and outer coaxial pipes wound simultaneously by the one pipemaking machine, with suitable spacers introduced to keep them substantially concentric. The inner pipe would then contain the material to be conveyed, e.g. gas, while the annular space between the inner and outer pipes would be filled with sea bed materials as ballast. This would ensure that the inner pipe was mechanically protected while the sinking force would be uniform and no undesirable twisting force introduced.
Alternatively, single pipe may be water filled to produce negative buoyancy during laying. After laying, the pipe may be retained on the sea bed by, for example, burying it in concrete ballast, and the water can then be expelled, using well gas pressure if the pipe is to be employed for conveying natural gas. By this means, the stresses that the pipe encounters during laying can be substantially reduced and pipe manufactured according to the invention may be laid in much greater water depths than is currently possible.
While the manufacture of glassfiber reinforced synthetic plastics pipe has been described, it will be understood that similar techniques can be employed with other reinforcing fibers or filaments, such as carbon fibers or high tensile steel wires, and with other bonding materials, such as aluminum, lead, zinc alloys.

Film: "Golmaal"; Cast: Vijaya Raghavendra, Shubha Poonja, Rangayana Raghu, Om Prakash Rao, Petrol Prasanna, Sanketh Kashi and others; Writer-Director: Pramod Chakravarthy; Producer: Anaji Nagaraj; Camera: R. Giri; Music Director: Radhey Krishna; Rating: *
This "Golmaal" is different - it's neither a patch on Hrishikesh Mukherjee's classic comedy of the same name in which Amol Palekar and Utpal Dutt had outwitted movie buffs, nor does it have any similarity with Bollywood filmmaker Rohit Shetty's recent "Golmaal" series that were high on commercial elements.
The Kannada film is a patience test for viewers.
Before the release, the producer and the director had claimed it to be a full-length comedy, but hardly anybody was heard laughing in the theatre.
If you are seeking fun and entertainment through the movie, you will be disappointed.
Actor-turned-director Pramod Chakravarthy has tried to narrate the story in a reverse screenplay manner, but it ends up on a dreary note. The film's comedy does not make any impact.
The continuity factor is also missing in the narrative. In short, the whole film looks like a nonsensical 'tamasha'.
The only watchable part is climax, which has well-written dialogues.
In terms of performances, the cast has been allowed to carry on their irritating, monotonous acting. Even the music is dreary, but cinematographer Giri has done his job with precision.
So, the redeeming features are the camera work and the climax.
In the film, post graduate Chakravarthy needs signature of a minister for a certificate, but the greedy minister asks for a bribe of Rs.50,000 to do it.
On the other hand Preeti, who wants to achieve something in life, initially misunderstands Chakravarthy and even criticises him for trying to hook her.
But one day when she is confronted by some rowdy elements, she hits one of them with an iron rod. The guy starts bleeding profusely and falls on the ground. Preeti assumes him to be dead and tries to escape from the scene with Chakravarthy. They hide in a jungle. Later, it is revealed that Preeti is the niece of the corrupt minister.
Shubha Poonja's performance needs to be toned up. Rangayana Raghu, Petrol Prasanna have over acted, while Tabala Naani and Sankesh Kashi were apt choices for their roles.
"Golmaal" is disappointing to the core.

Tableview with list of, first name, last name, school. Sorted alphabetical from an internal array. Create your own sample array ,10 items/row should be fine, I will replace with my own later. Also add sub title from same array named country that will be under the name.
add a classid property for the array.
When table item is clicked, open up a detailed view with picture, link 1, link 2, email, phone number, bio.
Icon 9
A function that will check from an external database if user is registered before app opens.
// coma out the code when it works. And apply it to icon 9.
So the working app is open for all but if icon 9 is clicked it checks the user.
If user/password checks ok then open a tableview with label members only.
Add a titanium style sheet (.tss) with the class id and other things you feel useful.
Keep in mind when you bid on the project, I will do all artwork, you will use same pdfs and movies for all rows, I will also deal with the upload, you are not creating a finished polished product , I will finish the work. So don't spend time on finding icons and pdf's and movies and so, appcelerators icons are fine.
This should keep developer cost down.
I just expect a standard ios/android UI. Also make it availably for Mobile Web.
I like following price breakdown.
Price per icon/Function.
Icon 1-2 Price=?
icon 3 Price=?
icon 4 Price=?
Icon 5 Price=?
Icon 6 Price=?
Icon 7 Price=?
Icon 8 Price=?
Icon 9 Price=?
Price for all icons less any backend coding such as downloading items and storing in new row,
Remove Icon 3
Remove downloading/storing function in Icon 6
Remove Icon 7.
Remove Icon 9 and log in function before app starts.
Package price for all features
Extra cost for adding blackberry.
Replay with starting with "Alloy, Alloy, Alloy" in your offer so I know you read the instruction and can follow direction and not sending an auto message.

It wasn't the easiest way to tip off a season with a lot of new players – taking on the 11th ranked team in the country. But that was the task of the Barton Community College women's basketball team this weekend.
The 2014-15 basketball season if officially off and running for the Barton Community College men's basketball team. With several new faces on the roster, the Cougars were able to get a good look at them with a pair of easy wins at the Best Western/Pizza Hut Classic at the Barton Gym over the weekend.
One win down. One very exciting win at that.
The regular season came to an end for the Barton Community College volleyball team Thursday night on the same court the next phase of the season will take place. The Cougars lost their finale to Jayhawk West champion Hutchinson.
Coaching basketball at a community college means a lot of new faces nearly every year. Barton Community College men's coach Craig Fletchall knows this. He had been at it for 13 years – eight at Barton where he is the all-time leader in coaching wins.
Five set matches have not been kind to the Barton Community College volleyball team this season. Tuesday night in Colby the Cougars played a 5-set match for the ninth time this season. For the seventh time, Barton lost that fifth and deciding set.
Carter Kruger is hoping a strong finish to last season carries over to this season. The third-year Barton Community College women's basketball coach guided his team the Region VI semifinals last season pulling off a pair of upsets after finishing sixth in the Jayhawk West.
The Region VI Championships lived up to its billing. Several ranked teams battled it out for the region title while Barton standout Lydia Mato did her thing in winning the meet.
It was a region stacked with ranked teams – three in the Top 10 and five in the Top 20. After placing near the bottom last season the improvement was vast this season. Especially consider that Barton standout Samson Laari nearly won the meet, taking second by the narrowest of margins.

Three-year-old Gales keeps up with the older kids
By Reina Kempt
The Natchez Democrat
NATCHEZ — As the young boys and girls of the Concordia Bank and Natchez Market tee ball teams got ready to swing their bats, 3-year-old Tylon Gales was still struggling to put on his oversized batter's helmet.
Gales is one of the youngest tee ball players in the T.M. Jennings Little League, as he just turned 3 years old in February, and his size shows his age.
His youth small Concordia Bank T-shirt hangs loosely off of his body ,and he has a hard time seeing in the standard youth's batter's helmet.
But despite his size or his age, his mother, Jeanette Hauer, said her son still wanted to play.
"He saw his uncle (age 6) play tee ball and he wanted to play, too, " she said.
Hauer said she thought him playing wasn't possible.
"I thought he was too young to play," Hauer said. "But they encouraged me to put him on the team. This is the first sport he is old enough to play."
When Hauer gave her son the good news of eligibility, she said his emotions were high.
"He was so excited to play, he asks me if he has a game every single day," she said.
But there was more than just pure enjoyment of the game that fueled young Gales' drive this game. With only a few more weeks left in the season, his father, Jason Gales, stood beside the dugout to watch his son play for the first time.
"His dad works out of town, so it was the first time he got to see him play," Hauer said. "He was excited to see his dad, and he kept checking to make sure he was still there."
Besides his father, Gales had an extra incentive to play his hardest.
This was the first time he got to play against his uncle, the person who got him interested in tee ball to begin with.
Gales defends the pitcher's mound, and before every swing, he squats down and focuses in on the ball. With most of the action coming his way, Gales had his work cut out for him.
Despite the daunting task given to him, he was able to record three outs on the game against Natchez Market, one of which prevented a score.
He also scored once himself; after touching home plate, he ran over and gave his mom a high five. His father smiled at his son's efforts with pride.
`Hauer said she is just happy that her son found something he wanted to do at such a young age. She said that this just goes to show that he can do anything he wants to do, regardless of age or size.

Pushing, not riding
Deb Stewart is pushing her way along the Great Ocean Road for this year's Great Victorian Bike Ride on a kick bike. Not a scooter.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Deb Stewart calls herself the 'scooter girl', although her bike is really a kick bike - not a scooter.
It looks a lot like a scooter crossed with a Penny Farthing - the large front wheel lets her travel pretty quickly while the smaller back wheel stays out of the way of her feet when she's riding the bike.
Kick biking is relatively unknown in Australia, although her husband is the Australian champion and next year they'll both be competing in the world championships in Italy.
The kick bike can actually travel relatively quickly, reaching speeds of up to 20k's an hour over a longer distance.
Deb explains although she does have a favoured leg for pushing, she also changes legs regularly to stop them getting too sore.
There are also different methods of pushing which replicate different gears on a regular bicycle.
When it comes to the downhills Deb positions both her feet on the small standing board in the middle of the bike, crouches down, and holds on tight.
Not surprisingly the bike has attracted a fair bit of attention during the ride this year, and Deb is hopeful once she's reported back to her fellow kick bikers there'll be a larger contingent of them in next year's ride.

We announced in the final quarter of last year that we'd achieved our integration goal of GBP 2 billion of run rate synergies well before the 3-year target period. I'm pleased to report that over and above competing integration in the second half of last year, we've also begun to deliver simplification. You'll note the program's already generated savings of GBP 242 million run rate at December 2011. Now I regard that as a strong start.Rather than look at our performance on cost just for 1 year, it's worth looking at the longer-term trend. This slide shows the progression of costs for Lloyds Banking Group from the acquisition of HBOS in January 2009 to the present day. The pro forma cost base of the newly combined group was just over GBP 12.2 billion. It is now GBP 10.6 billion, down just over GBP 1.6 billion. This represents an absolute 13% reduction.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, September 8, 2010; E3
With the debut of his first restaurant, the Mediterranean-themed Bistro LaZeez in Bethesda, Reda Asaad likes to tell people he has moved from "feeding brains to feeding stomachs."
If the Syrian native's concurrent job teaching Arabic at the Washington International School and the British School of Washington is anything like his zesty falafel or smoky eggplant dip, I want to sign up for classes. No less pleasing at LaZeez is the maiden restaurateur's signature grilled chicken medley: a thigh, drumstick and wing whose sunny flavors come from brush strokes of lemon, olive oil and garlic applied before the pieces leave the kitchen. A round of pita, crisp from the griddle, serves as garnish.
"What I cook in the restaurant is what I cook at home," says Asaad, who co-owns the eatery with his wife, Nadia Abourizk Asaad, a native of Lebanon. Raves over the years from his dinner guests, including more than a few students, prompted the educator to expand his curriculum with the stylish 30-seat dining room in July.
The focus is on what's fresh. Asaad swears the only thing in his bistro's small freezer is ice cream or the occasional piece of meat.
When he's not at school, Asaad is at LaZeez, which takes its name from the Arabic words for "enjoyable" or "delicious." His wife is responsible for turning a former pet-grooming shop into something chic. Teardrop lights with see-through shades, stained-oak tables and a butter-colored banquette make an attractive backdrop for baby fava bean salad, shawarma and rosewater-laced ice cream.
Asaad jokes that when his spouse isn't around, he tells patrons his food is Syrian; when she's present, it's Lebanese.
Some dishes could use more practice; grilled beef kafta, part of a sampler called the Emperor, proved a bit tough on my visit. But everything else about the plate - the lemony chicken kebab, the sweetly spiced lamb, the fluffy basmati rice - is a class act.
8009 Norfolk Ave., Bethesda. 301-652-8222. bistrolazeez.com. Entrees, $9.99-$15.99.

So what are you calling yours and why? We were calling ours infant Acuff for awhile because the air force base hospital had us fill out labor and delivery paperwork and the top said ACUFF, INFANT. But after my u/s we are calling it wiggle. It was moving everywhere!!
Nicknames for unborn baby?
My husband and I have a variety of names... the most popular one though is "boo boo"... He also keeps calling it Braeden (that's the name we have chosen if it's a boy) as reinforcement it will be a boy... ha ha....
DH hates cute nicknames. DS was Henry and this one is Leroy :)
EP, CD, CS, ERF, BF Mommy to James 2-27-10 & Elizabeth 6-20-12
My husband calls the Baby his 1st place sex trophy when he's trying to be funny, and when the baby is making me sick I pat my tummy and say, "quiet down fish" like on Despicable Me.
Since we found out the babies are identical twins, my DH decided they should be called humpty and dumpty until we have gender because they came from one egg that split. I think it's cute and clever so I'm kind of going with it. Mostly I just keep saying the babies though.
Mother to my beautiful butterfly boys, Alan and Bruce. Our rainbow joined our butterfly boys and Grandma Jan. Love you all so much.
I think I concieved on holloween so we are calling it eaither a trick or a treat depending on how I'm feeling at the moment. lol

Top Definition
From the Latin "insolitus" (which means "unusual, strange, uncommon"), and the Greek "logos" (which means "study"). It is therefore the study of the unusual and strange.
I'm an insolitology student. I'm writing a thesis on Gene Ray, the discoveror of "Time Cube."
