I had planned to buy a Bosch Vision washer and dryer to be stacked in a closet on the second floor of my house. I chose Bosch because of their reputation and the fact that I own two of their dishwashers and have had no problems. Also, I particularly chose them because of the anti-vibration technology. Apparently the Vision line is to be discontinued so I'm looking at the Axxis models. What I don't see is any mention of the vibration problems inherent in front loaders used on second floors. Anyone have any experience with Axxis vibration? I think at this point a compact would be easier to install so I'm hoping the Axxis could work. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Very little vibration issues. The internal suspension absorbs most of it. Don't use a dense rubber mat under the Axxis washer like I tried. It's not needed with this unit. Level the washer and make sure all feet are solid on the floor. Axxis is a quality line. |

when loading the drier, how full can you load it. we are new to both the axxis washer and drier and have to keep turning the drier back on, seems it takes 2/3 hours to dry one load |

When rocks hit the front bumper of your new car, what can be done to cover it? I have a VW bettle and I noticed a chip from a rock or something has knocked a little of the paint off (not very big,but it's there). |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you just looking for touch up paint? Identifiy the color of your car and you can get a small bottle of paint to match complete with brush, kind of like a container of fingernail polish, at your VW dealer. Many auto parts stores, and some variety stores with an automotive section also have it. |
3m makes a clear film that protects the finish, i think most detail shops install it, also i believe i read duplicolor has a spray on sheild, also thers those black or checkered vinyl masks that were popular on bugs years back. |
Thanks so much for the information. |

Bruno Mars Pranks a Nurse [VIDEO]
Bruno Mars, fresh off his most-watched Super Bowl performance, followed up with a visit to 'Ellen.'
Bruno Mars, fresh off his most-watched Super Bowl performance, followed up with a visit to 'Ellen.'
On a wonderful balmy night in New Jersey, Bruno Mars turn MetLife Stadium into a huge outdoor club of good music and good vibes. The singer-songwriter's halftime show at the 2014 Super Bowl was nothing but energetic and fun.
Chart-topping superstars Bruno Mars, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and Drake are among the musicians gracing Forbes magazine's annual '30 Under 30' list in the music field. Also on the tally are J. Cole, Ryan Lewis, Miguel, Janelle Monae, Wiz Khalifa and others.
The 2013 MTV European Music Awards took place in Amsterdam (Nov. 10), with lots of American pop stars taking home the biggest honors of the night.
Singer-Songwriter Bruno Mars has been tapped to perform during halftime of the 2014 Super Bowl in February. A source told the Associated Press that an official announcement is expected Sunday (Sept. 8) during an event in New York's Times Square.
From gifts to showing up at every concert, fans show devotion to their favorite artists in various ways. And some actually find so much inspiration in their favorite R&B singer that they take their creativity to paper or computer screen and come out with a work of art.
Bruno Mars couldn't make it to the 2013 Teen Choice Awards tonight (Aug. 11) since he is on tour. He didn't send his regrets. Instead, he appeared via a satellite video, taking time to thank fans for awarding him the Choice Summer Music Star and Choice R&B Artist awards.
Candice Glover can do no wrong. Both of her performances last night were incredible. Her first song choice, Bruno Mars' 'When I Was Your Man,' proved that she's even capable of crossing gender boundaries. "I love you on any kind of song,' Mariah Carey told the singing star.

A newborn baby's fall to the floor immediately after delivery caused bleeding on the infant's brain and a bruise to his scalp but did not cause his death, according to a coroner.
The baby's father, Martin Aguirre, said his son slid out of the doctor's hands on to the ground during delivery on Tuesday at University of Colorado Hospital. The child's mother has not been named.
Coroner Monica Broncucia-Jordan ruled this week that death was not caused by the fall but by a genetic condition.
According to 9 News, the coroner's office does not believe the fall had anything to do with the baby's death because there was no evidence from the autopsy that the infant had even taken a breath.
The baby also suffered from a disorder Trisomy 18, or Edward's Syndrome – where the individual has an extra copy of material on chromosome 18.
The condition can result in low birth weight, mental deficiencies and underdeveloped limbs.
Horrified: The father of the baby boy Martin Aguirre watched the child slip out of the doctor's hands at the University of Colorado Hospital after his girlfriend gave birthHalf of infants with Edward's Syndrome do not survive beyond one week. Some children have survived until they are teenagers but with serious medical and developmental problems.
University of Colorado continue to investigate the incident but has not confirmed the baby slipped on to the floor.
The baby's grandmother Georgia Medina told 9 News she could not get the image of the baby falling out of her mind.
Bless his tiny soul.

Bangor, ME, Feb 01, 2013 -- USDA Rural Development State Director Virginia Manuel has announced funding in the amount of $1.46 million for sewer system upgrades to the City of Old Town.
USDA Rural Development is providing the City a Water and Waste Disposal Direct Loan in the amount of $1,304,000 and Water and Waste Disposal Grant of $156,000 for sewer collection system upgrades on Stillwater Avenue in conjunction with a Maine Department of Transportation road reconstruction project. Specifically funding will replace two aged sewer mains on Stillwater Avenue. The existing mains are a combination of clay and asbestos cement pipe and are in poor condition, allowing for potential overflows that could impact the Penobscot River.
USDA Rural Development State Director Virginia Manuel said, "I am pleased USDA Rural Development can provide significant investments to fund this very critical wastewater infrastructure project in Old Town. Protection of Maine's natural resources is a key priority of USDA Rural Development and the replacement of antiquated sewer mains will help to ensure the preservation and health of the Penobscot River while contributing to Old Town's sustainability."
Old Town City Manager Bill Mayo said, "The Stillwater Avenue sewer upgrade is critical in replacing an old and failing sewer main. Along with this project the water main and road will also be upgraded. This is an essential infrastructure improvement for the City and serves an area with a great deal of development potential."
USDA Rural Development has Area Offices located in Presque Isle, Bangor, Lewiston, and Scarborough, as well as a State Office, located in Bangor. There are 63 employees working to deliver the agency's Housing, Business, and Community Programs, which are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, and farmers, and improve the quality of life in rural Maine. Further information on rural programs is available at a local USDA Rural Development office or by visiting USDA Rural Development's web site at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/me.

Bio: Nathan is an undergraduate at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio majoring in political science with a minor in economics. He mostly got interested in the liberty movement after President Obama signed healthcare reform into law my sophomore year of college. Shortly after that he found OU's Students For Liberty group and became an active member. His main focuses are the economics of government intervention and the dismal quality of our public education system. He enjoys long walks on the beach, sleeping in, and crunchy peanut butter.
Favorite figures in liberty: F.A. Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, Ron Paul, Frederic Bastiat, Ludwig Von Mises, Murray Rothbard, Peter Schiff and Ayn Rand
On Students For Liberty: As a Campus Coordinator for Students for Liberty I will work to connect and strengthen the grassroots movement of liberty that has grown throughout the country. I want to challenge the preconceived notions that more government is always the answer.

I have a row of red and pink Knock Out Roses is there another rose that I can put in front of them that is a low growing rose? Or may this be too much!!I was looking at a carpet rose either white or yellow but they say they grow to 36 inches which is too tall for me. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check out Green Ice. It is a mini that kinda sprawls, making it great for "edging" a bed of roses. It gets maybe 1 ft high and sprawls maybe 1.5 ft. Lots of smaller white blooms on it (very slight greenish hue in partial shade or cooler weather)and its quite disease resistant. It's a terrific little rose. Kate |
Here is a link that might be useful: Green Ice at HMF
You need to look into some mini roses. There are a lot of them that don't get tall. But be careful in your research. Miniature rose does not always mean miniature plant. There are miniature climbers that will get 6 to 10 feel tall. Another class that may be what you're looking for is Polyanthas. Some of them are also low growers, but they're great bloom machines too. You can also keep most smaller shrub or carpet roses trimmed down with good pruning. Check out the link above and do an advanced search for the characteristics you want. |
Go over to Nor'East Mini Roses or John's Miniature Roses and check out some of the micro minis. |

Minis are definitely what to consider for your purposes. But even among those, many grow 2 or 3 feet tall, some even a little taller than that. I am going to recommend "Absolutely." I bought it on a whim 2 years ago. It's not classed as a micro-mini, but the plant isn't even a foot tall (at least, not mine). But it's very healthy, spreading growth with good bloom production. The best of all is that its amazingly disease-resistant for me. Very low-maintenance. Mine's in a small pot (12" diameter) and doesn't act like it will ever outgrow that space. The blooms are exquisitely formed for such small blooms, and they are a fascinating and changeable blend of white, yellow, and apricot, with hints of pink edges. Very Pretty! and I think they go with just about anything. |
Prairie Sunrise (Buck) is naturally short. |

Among polys that stay small over the years you will find Anna Marie de Montravel--white, and lily of the valley fragrance; Eblouissant--a color fast red (no bluing) and under 1 foot. Baby Faurax-- 1 foot tall unless you get a seedling like 'Lauren' or Raymond Privat,'but the color is mauve. Little White Pet also white. Among the microminis: Baby Jane Clare, a small ten inch tall plant with deep pink blooms the size of a dime. JimD |
JimD, White Pet is 2.5' - 3' tall for me, and Baby Faurax is a little larger. |
- Posted by jimofshermanoaks 9/21SoCal (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 08 at 9:37
Diane--Thank you for the 'heads up.' Both of my 'White Pets' are under a foot tall but then I do grow them on a hillside. Baby Faurax is regularly reported as 1 foot (which mine is)(but see Jack Harkness, 'Roses'); I know that there are some clones of it that grow taller, e.g. Lauren, a seedling hitting four feet in my garden and the Sequoia Faurax which usually gets taller than the predicted one foot. I have to admit Faurax for me stays at 1'x 1' but Lauren and Privat regularly top out much taller. JimD |

Vintage has a Bourbon called Le Grand Capitan (sp?). It may also be the same as the China rose Eugene de Beauharnais. I have one that blooms fairly regularly, but it stays quite small, never over 18 inches. It is a dark maroon color that would go with pink Knockouts. It might do okay for you. |
- Posted by barbarag_happy 8A (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 08 at 12:36
If they're hardy enough for you, sounds like you have a good spot for The Fairy, Lovely Fairy, or the spreading/cascading mini Sweet Chariot. |
Souvenir de la Malmaison only grows 1-2' here in this climate, but will get 3' tall in warmer zones. I also have very short polyanthas under 2' tall called Lullaby and Perle d'Or, which again grow bigger elsewhere. Tamora and Prospero are two Austins that also stay under 2' tall for me after many years. |
If your in PA you're in zone 6??. You probably can't grow Chinas or Teas Roses (not Hybrid Teas but Tea Roses, 2 differnt classes) I don't think because it gets too cold for them. Nice list of polys, Jim, and if they stay that small in SoCal they should remain small in a colder climate for sure. lori, SdlM is only a foot tall for you? I've seen it get 6 feet high here. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hi Bert,
First of all, I used the term "white racists" to differentiate between them
and black racists like Obama's spiritual advisor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Then, when I refer to "white racist web sites", I am specifically talking
about places like the Vanguard News Network and not "black racist web sites"
like the Nation of Islam. Not all racists are white, nor for that matter are
they all radical. The non-radical racists pretty much keep their opinions to
themselves and pose very little threat to anyone.
Also, as you correctly point out not all white radicals are right wing, some
are radical left wingers.
>From your email you also appear to agree with my argument that mentally
disturbed lone gunmen are the most pressing threat to all three of the
candidates and that there is not a greater threat to Obama, as some have
I must admit that you've given our staff a good chuckle. To those who know
me, the thought that I might be sympathetic to the radical left is pretty
funny, as my political views are somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan.
Thank you for your email. It is a sign that I am going a good job of
concealing my true political bias -- one of the things demanded by the
leadership here at Stratfor.

email@example.com sent a message using the contact form at
Fred Burton, and Scott Stewart,
Two comments. In your article, what caught my attention, is your use
of the phrases - - White Radicals, or - - right-wing extremists - - got a
bit booring, and I felt these words were used - - too often, and
inaccurately. Were used, apparently, interchangeably I counted 8 times.
ha. You seemed to be trying to drive home the concept that White Radicals
were also right-wing extremists? I do not know, but - - to me, it got
boring, and in-accurate, to say the least.
Would have suggested, that you do this again, but this time - - look at
the REAL shooters, and the history behind them. For instance, look at who
Killed Kennedy. Right wing? Plant? Or look at the others....
anarchist Leon Frank Czolgosz,, 1972 by Arthur Bremer, Lynette
"Squeaky" Fromme and Sarah Jane Moore, John Hinckley. Were any of
these Right Wing people? If so, how many? Or were they simply crazy folks?
(my guess, is ALL assasination attempts are mounted by crazy folks
- - not necessarily right wing, or even left wing).
But I would hope, that since the article was written about - - I
thought, when I started reading it, White Racists - - you should have stayed
on that topic, and not included Right Wing people. Or perhaps that
was an slip showing your politics? Are your political views showing?

Some of the more cynical game reviewers out there (looking at you, Croshaw) have described the standard RPG as a game where you ultimately push buttons to make the numbers go higher. As dismissive as that position is, we've found a game where it's literally true. Widget RPG is a full role-playing game, complete with non-player characters, equipment inventory, and a battle system. But the only way of interacting with the world around your character is by tapping on a homescreen widget like a maniac.
Yesterday, developer and XDA member zehro released his minimalist clock app, clockr. The app is actually a widget - and it really is as simple as it sounds: it's a pure-text clock.
At the moment, there are no customization options for the widget - that's coming at some point - but it looks like user hollywooder has been hard at work creating alternate themes for the clock. The upside is that there's a degree of variability in usage; the obvious downside is that you need to download and flash an .APK to change the colors.

Bacteria anticipate coming events
Just as humans have learned to connect dark clouds with rain, so too have bacteria and yeast learned to use one event to predict the arrival of another.
"For multicellular organisms, there is a real benefit to understanding the temporal order of things," says Amir Mitchell, a scientist at The Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
"If you see clouds you might expect rain, and take an umbrella out with you," says Mitchell, who is also co-author of a paper that appeared in the journal Nature.
The two organisms studied in the research, Escherichia coli, which can travel through the human digestive tract, and fermenting yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, used by winemakers to turn sugar into alcohol for thousands of years.
Pre-empting processes
In the human digestive tract, sugar lactose is present before sugar maltose. Introducing E. coli to lactose not only triggers genes that let the bacteria metabolise lactose, but also initiates the expression of genes that produce enzymes that can metabolise maltose.
No maltose is yet present, but the bacteria are now equipped to metabolise maltose when they are exposed to it.
In wine bottles, yeast must withstand the heat produced during fermentation and then the chemical pressure of oxidation. As the bottles heat up, the yeast activate genes that allow them to survive the heat.
This also triggers the activation of genes that enable the yeast to survive oxidation, the next stage of the fermentation process.

"Adrian was great, service was wonderful. With the drivers in San Diego, I think you should have a punch card (third accident free repair). Hopefully I won't, but I'm sure I'll be back soon. I wouldn't go anywhere else!" – Tim
"Adrian was great to work with throughout the entire repair process from estimate through completion. And I really appreciated the daily updates on our car's progress. I highly recommend Adrian and Caliber Collision in PB to all of my friends and co-workers!" – Marcy
"Adrian did a great job on my car and went out of his way to come finish up the job even though the office was closed. He was very good about calling me and updating the status of my car. Great employee and a nice guy who left me a happy customer!" – Kim

At the moment I am helping build a barn in northeastern Nevada. The only aspect to this that is library-related is that I have an MLS and my uncle has an M.Ed. in school media.Soon and very soon I am taking up a post in the South Pacific. I will not be leaving the sovereignty of the United States, though. The new post will be very exciting. Part of it involves coordinating the union catalog for a political subdivision.Once I actually make it to the posting and do at least one day of work I can then say where.Oddly enough, I am ceasing to be connected to Ashtabula notwithstanding having the username "AshtabulaGuy". I should converse with the Blakester about this.
Always good to hear from you AG! Thanks for keeping us posted. --rochelle
Yeah, it would...except that I am not Samoan. I am a Slavic-American. It is only a two year job at the moment. Anything could happen with it, though.
We all look forward to stories of your experience.
And yes, I got the academic job out there. It should be an adventure.
Thanks. It has been a busy summer hiding out in Nevada and moving my stuff from Ohio. Such is why I haven't been able to write much. At least I did not get crucified at the conference presentation I gave.
I was talking about your new job. But, I see you mentioned a presentation, and that might be interesting as well.

McCain-Feingold: Mostly dead.
What a pleasant surprise and what a great week this has been! Now shove the stake all the way in and bury that turd of a law already. Oh what the hell! I'm breaking the seal on some Absolute bottle to celebrate in the Vodka spirit!
And there's no frakkin' way Pelosi can convince Miracle Max to bring it back for the sake of "true love" (except, of course, her love for herself).
It's not dead! It's just pinin' for the Steppes. Remarkable bird, the Soviet Red.

World of WarCrafts: The Tale of Pally Pete {WoW}
Nov 11th 2009 2:14PM Here are the complete lyrics:
As the sun sets over Goldshire
and the howl of the wolf pierces the night
A tall dark shadow falls upon the dusty ground
choking out what's left of daylight
The folks are always talkin 'bout a stranger
A stranger that no one could e're defeat
Could it be this little town in Elwyn Forest
Was about to meet the man they call Pally Pete
(Pally Pete)
He fought ten Horde and then ten more and never broke a sweat
He don't need mana, wears a red bandana, got a shiny tier 9 set
Never will you meet a man so fearless, brave and leet
Stay away from Pally Pete
As the dust settles underneath his feet
He darkens the old Lion's Pride Inn door
Adventurers from every land both far and wide
Turn to see this famous man of lore
And from the crowd a snicker from the silence
Then laughter followed and it grew and grew
You see this legendary man of lore
Well he stood no more than 3 foot 2
(Tiny Pete)
Well Pete walked in and sat right down and ordered him a stout
Then Night Elf Ned said "Let's go duel, I'll win without a doubt"
(Accept defeat)
Pete just smiled and said to Ned "I'll meet you in the street"
What's up the sleeve of Pally Pete
Well they walked out to the street and took ten paces
And Ned was making jest at ole' Pete's height
When all the sudden Pete revealed his two-hand mace
and cast upon himself Blessing of Might
(Now it's a fight!)
The rest I can't explain cause it's just too gruesome to tell
Let's just say that Dwarves don't take to height jokes all that well
(He's just petite)
Pete regained respect from all the folks that he did meet
And that's the tale of Pally Pete

Breakfast Topic: So you're not going to BlizzCon {WoW}
Aug 21st 2009 8:38AM I would LOVE to go, but half way across the country. I might buy the stream, but that's $40 I can't really justify right now. I kind of feel like the only way to experience it is to be there. Maybe next year. Although I did enter the original song contest, and evidently they're waiting to announce the winners until the actual event, so it would be cool to actually see it live if I win. Yea, like that's gonna happen...
Breakfast Topic: Do you wish we didn't have to use AddOns? {WoW}
Jul 7th 2009 11:30AM I don't think Blizz would ever get rid of add-ons. That's part of the game they created. I am definitely behind them writing good add-ons, but there are a lot of add-ons available that are better than some of Blizz's. The recent outfitter add-on was a major disappointment, as I was already using Outfitter, which is MUCH more versatile and intuitive. The real issue here becomes updating the addons. What I would like to see is an approval system from Blizz for add-ons, and an auto-updater FROM Blizz so when a new patch is applied, all your add-ons are automatically updated. That would be great!!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Katie!
Facts about Katie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Katie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Katie was found as a stray kitten. She is a shorthaired grey tabby who is around 5 months old. If you have any questions or would like to meet her contact Sharon at (410) 695-1176 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Pets at PawPrints Across the Heart
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Katie, a Odenton Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Odenton, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Odenton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Odenton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Odenton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Odenton paves the way for another one to be saved.

Mind-NRG, a CNS Focused Company
Mind-NRG, based out of Switzerland, is devoted to the development of NRG-101 in psychiatric and neurologic diseases. NRG-101 is a neurotrophic factor with disease modifying potential that naturally crosses the blood - brain barrier through a receptor-mediated transport to reach its target in the brain.
NRG-101 will be developed to treat disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. Mind-NRG will initially focus on conducting in vitro and in vivo experiments to further explore the mechanism of action of the peptide and to assess the activity of NRG-101 in a variety of relevant disease models.
About Central Nervous System (CNS) Growth Factors
Neurodegeneration could be defined as the irreversible loss of neuronal properties, either because the cells dye, or because they are not able anymore of generating new connections, or strengthening and maintaining the old ones. CNS growth factors are involved in the development of the brain and in the adulthood they are responsible for normal neuronal functioning. The excitement behind CNS growth factors is that not only could they be protective, but there is the possibility for regenerating or rejuvenating some of the sick cells in the brain.
An increasingly important amount of evidences in animal studies and initial trials in humans show that CNS growth factors can slow or even reverse the neuronal death that incapacitates patients with Parkinson or Alzheimer's disease. Neurotrophic factors injected in the brain of parkinsonian patients promoted neuronal fibers' sprouting at the administration site. In other experiments the patients have shown a clear improvement in movement and motor skills, confirming previous reports in non-human primates.
However delivery of these big molecules into the brain through the blood brain barrier is a tremendous hurdle and intracranial injections are not a therapeutic option.
About Neuregulin
NRG-101 belongs to the complex family of Neuregulins. Neuregulins are CNS growth factors involved in illness-relevant neural processes, including neuronal migration, axonal guidance, synaptic plasticity and glutamatergic dendritic spine maturation. Preliminary experiments in relevant pre-clinical models of neurodegeneration show unprecedented results for NRG-101 in cognition improvement and restoration of the neural architecture.
Unlike the other CNS growth factor in development NRG-101 has the property to cross the blood brain barrier by a receptor-mediated transport. Thanks to this unique product feature, NRG-101 can be administered via intravenous or subcutaneous injection which opens the door to its development as a new and viable therapeutic option for patients suffering from severely debilitating diseases.
For more detailed information about NRG-101 potential, please take a look to the selected literature.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Hi - I do a great deal of embroidery on baby clothes and have received some complaints because the stabilizer I use is a cutoff not tearoff - I have found that holds the fabric better but some of my customers won't purchase those items because they feel it will be uncomfortable for their baby to wear. Any thoughts on what to do?? I have seen some clothes with something that feels like felt and looks as if it has been ironed on inside the clothes to protect the skin from the embroidery and remaining stabilizer but I have no idea what that is...Am going to a craft fair next week-end and I would love to have this resolved by then. Thanks so much! |

Red, Have you tried the fusible mesh products? The fusible type product is great on onsies to keep the fabric from stretching. It is cut-a-way though. But, it is promoted to be soft against the skin, especially for baby clothes. This is the product I have used: Floriani's No Show Fusible Mesh (Beige) Try going to: www.Embroidery.com And search for this product. There is a demo video you may want to watch. I tried to put a link to the video here. I have also used the Janome no-show fusible mesh, it also works well. Have had no complaints about it irritating the skin. Vicki |

Just try some soft weight tricot or nylon. Sew your embroidery, tear or cut as close as you can and then use a form of "wonder under" (or the like) - iron it on the "soft" stuff and then iron it onto the back of your finished embroidery.It costs very little and it's very easy to do. Chris |

South Fayette water plant back online; manganese problem fixed
The South Fayette Water Treatment Plant is now producing water again, according to an email update from Fayette County Commission Chairman Steve Brown, and environmental regulators report the water is meeting state guidelines and is thus "safe to drink."
The plant was shut down Tuesday of last week after a spike in manganese was discovered in lab testing, officials said. The county commission held an emergency meeting Wednesday afternoon to extend a contract with an engineering firm that was working on the water treatment plants so the manganese problem could be addressed.
The consultant, Stuart Jeffcoat of CH2M Hill, was able to make changes that reduced the manganese levels to zero parts per million at the South Fayette plant, Chairman Brown reported. Meanwhile, the manganese levels reported at the Crosstown water treatment plant were being reported as 0.006 ppm from the 2 million-gallon clear well and 0.017 ppm from the 4 million-gallon clear well.
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division has confirmed that at these levels of manganese, the water is considered safe to drink. Ted Jackson of EPD's water quality program told The Citizen that manganese in drinking water is generally not considered a health risk unless the levels become high. It can, however, cause problems with taste, odor and appearance.
Moderate spikes in manganese must be monitored from the raw water supply to determine how to appropriately treat the water, Jackson noted.
"They need to know that, very much, so they can adjust their treatment accordingly," Jackson said.
"We owe a debt of gratitude to Stuart Jeffcoat of CH2MHill for assisting our staff in resolving our water emergency," Brown wrote.
Both plants are in full production, Brown reported.
In 2010 if you used 2,000 gallons will pay more a month, a 76 percent increase went into effect. This is beyond comprehension for a below standard product or even if they were above standard.
We must have special water with gold in it because a few miles either direction outside of this area, rates plummet.
I am tired of mismanaged facilities taking my money like I was some ATM machine.
As soon as prices recover enough on homes, I'm out of here. When is the last time you heard of people moving to get away from a water company that charges as if they were running Perrier through your pipes?
I wish the state would take them over and a class action lawsuit would follow.
Fed up in PTC!
The rate increase came from sewer. WASA is a city authority. Water comes from Fayette County. They bill together to save money on the billing.
One of my neighbors stopped me last night to have a conversation about the water. Didn't last long because of the rain drops and I needed to finish walking the dog, but he said he was going to look at a lawsuit against the water dept and county based on the negligence. He has a spouse with cancer in remission and has been cooking with bottled water since the spring.
I guess a lot of people are thinking the same.
Nice to get a solid answer on the water problems. Yes... Having competent people to provide answers and solutions really helps. And thank you to Steve Brown and the Commission for their frontline involvement. WHY would we expect any different... I am glad you are keeping us informed. And yes... I for one am glad the Commission is articulating news here.
Has Steve Brown become the official spokesman for all Fayette County news? He is the quotes source in all county news stories.
I suppose he has turned the Board Chairman job into a full-time position like he did with the Mayor's job in PTC.
Probably good to keep him busy.
Tony Parrott had 3 licenses from the State of Ga. renewed on 6/28/13 for the next 2 years.
Water Operator Class 1
Waste Water Operator class 3
Water Laboratory Analyst
has been providing the engineering for the water system? Cancel the contract immediately, if it hasn't been done already.
Disband the phony, useless BOC "Water Committee".
BOC..encourage the state to file criminal charges against Parrott. Do the same with the plant managers, and if fraud is found on their part, do the same. If not, get information from them and use it to make the case against Parrott (kind of redundant). The Secretary of State should rescind/cancel all state licenses from any operators who allowed this negligence to occur.
How long before Tony lawyers up? Probably already has. Rapson had to wait for this report to have the proof to fire his incompetent butt. I would not rule out intentional negligence on his part, just so he and the former BOC and Kracker Jack can have some yuks at the expense of the Chair of the current BOC. Let him finish his vacation. He's going to need this rest. A few more days won't change anything. Sounds like Jeffcoat is slowly getting a handle on some of the issues.
Mallett has had it's finger in every county construction project for years. Probably would not exist without the county business it gets a cut of. Look at the fees it charges to bidders just to look at construction plans.
To think they were the firm used for the dam at Lake McIntosh. I would not want be a homeowner downstream from that dam.
Now please explain why the state ticketed us for 10 violations and 147 deficiencies from the states July 25th report.
Care to tell us how waiting 20 days after receipt is transparent, while your constituents drink this stuff? And why do you allow the county administrator to leave town before cleaning house?

A while back, someone on this forum got me interested in the chalk maple (Acer leucoderme). From what I've read, it's basically a sugar maple in miniature with smooth grey bark. But it's also described as an understory tree that's very shade tolerant. My planting site is in mostly full sun on sandy river-bottom soil. Would a chalk maple be happy there? Also, what's the growth rate of a healthy chalk maple? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mine is in full all day sun. Not even a hint of scorch last year, which was brutally hot and dry. It grew a little over 2' this spring. I wouldn't worry about it in full sun in a colder zone than mine for an instant. |
Plant it, and it will grow. :-) I have two side by side. Trying to get them to grow through one another so that each individual mixes fall color with the other. In any event, full sun they are. It may be happy in shade, but it can also be happy in full sun. Just might have to water it during dry weather to keep it at it's best, but their native habitat can get very dry, so that may not be a problem in good soil except in extreme drought. As I keep saying, a much neglected, much much tougher, faster growing Sugar Maple, that is an opportunity waiting for someone with the foresight and pockets to get them into widespread public view at a size large enough to attract attention.

It should in your location. Not sure in hot and dry area though with full sun exposure. It is basically a miniature version of Sugar maple. Slow grower at my mom's in Houston. It took years but it is finally looking like a nice tree. |
I forgot to include growth rate as John did. The one that has been planted the longest has added about 27" to it's central leader this year. The other one has added about 15", but has been in the ground for only one full growing season. If you need a source, then we can help you with that as well. My trees came from two different sources, as I wanted to increase the genetic diversity between the two so that cross pollination is more likely to result in viable seed. Arktrees |

Worth a try in MD, perhaps? FWIW "real" sugars usually do OK here, but the Chalk Maple almost looks to be an American alternative to the Paperbark maple (not the same bark but still interesting) or any small Asian maple. What fall color should one expect? |
Hair, They are all seed grown, so just as variable in color as seed grown Sugar Maple. However they are propedly reliable brightly colored even in warm weather climates. Due to the variability, It has crossed my mind that a trio planted in say a 3 foot circle that grew up together would look particularly nice with the variation in color. Arktrees |

Looks like Almost Eden sells them - anyone got experience w/them? I'm surprised these aren't used more...or even attempts to hybridize w/Sugar Maple. That could make some interesting combos...a white-barked full-size Sugar Maple, perhaps? |
Hair, I have had two orders with Almost Eden. I highly recommend them. In my order from them this spring, I bought a 1' acer skutchii (very close relative of chalk maple) from them that has grown over 3' on this year's growth. It is now 4'+ and pushing again, albiet this last time most likely a response to all the damage a rat has caused. My other trees in this order and the previous were not rootbound and have done very, very well. John |
Hair, My trees came from two sources. The first one, and larger one came from Pine Ridge Gardens here in Arkansas. Mary Ann the owner, does ship plants at reasonable rates. Lots of not so common natives there as well. Have been happy with whatever I have gotten from PRG. The second tree came as a seedling about 8" tall in a tree tube, from Mail Order Natives of Lee Florida. Again very reasonable shipping cost, and happy with the plants. l would certainly order from them again. John this is the origin of yours as well. Doesn't matter to me where you get them, just giving you more options. Arktrees |

John, I didn't know Almost Eden is selling A. Skutchii. I just noticed that it's that close to SFASU arboretum so it must be where they got seeds from. I've had to drive there to collect seeds. SFASU is doing a trial of hundreds of them to find best ones for propagation. They seem to be fast growers for sure. The one at SFASU is a big one. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Tue, Jul 9, 13 at 22:49
Do you think A. skutchii would survive in MD? I don't know why, but I find all these genetically isolated, disjunct populations of Sugar Maple and Co. very interesting. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 10, 13 at 8:22
To add to my above comment (sorry to go a bit off-topic), there's a very interesting (to me) connection between A. barbatum and A. saccharum (other than the obvious)...if you put their range maps together they're almost contiguous but pretty much don't actually overlap. Barbatum just continues where saccharum leaves off. Also - although barbatum is thought of as a smaller tree, and generally is, the state champions of AL, NC, SC (and possibly other states) are as big as any northern Sugar Maple-over 100'. Furthermore, I've seen both the "Sandersville" (AKA Harvest Moon) sugar maple & the Caddo maples refered to as barbatums instead of saccharums. I've also seen some nurseries call Sandersville a barbatum/saccharum cross. |

Hair Metal, Throw in Acer grandidentatum in Texas. We have Lost Maple Forest full of 'Texas' sugar maples in central Texas. Makes me wonder if it used to be widespread population of sugar maple in the old days. Now that we live a lot closer to the park, we need to visit it in the fall. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lost Maple Forest park

To a casual tree lover (not insane geeks like us) ALL those trees would simply be identified as "sugar maple". Hard to believe those fall scenes exist in Texas! |
Hair, your zone 7 is much milder with more abundant summer precip than mine. I think a. skutchii would be a great experiment for your location. Cold hardiness will be a major point of interest for both of us. "I don't know why, but I find all these genetically isolated, disjunct populations of Sugar Maple and Co. very interesting." Yeah, me too. I will eventually spread barbatum, caddo, and chalk maple seed and seedlings around in my oak/hickory woods and see what happens. Also, if you go off topic in your own topic, it is by default on topic ;-) Lou, after I placed my order and doing some research, I also came to the assumption SFAU is the most likely source of my tree. If their samples are growing as fast as mine, it will be stellar addition to all locations it is hardy in. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 10, 13 at 9:26
If I had the land and the time, I'd plant a handful of the better saccharum cultivars, plus a few black, barbatum, grandidentatum, schuktii (not sure I'm spelling it right- the Mexican sugar maple), A. leucoderme, some Caddo maples, etc and let them all interbreed naturally to see what pops up. I'm in an area where pretty much all of those trees *should* survive and grow well enough to reach reproductive age (not sure about the Mexican sugar being hardy enough though). That said, I'm not sure the bloom times would sync between all of them, being of different regions, they'd have different chilling and heat unit requirements to break dormancy. What we probably have are the isolated remnants of a much more massive and genetically diverse population of Sugar maple (or the common ancestor) from millions of years ago. It would be fun to bring those genes back together. |
Chalk maple should do fine in west NC in full sun -- that's in its native range. Should be able to grow far outside that range. Trunk remains smooth/chalky-whitish-gray for many yrs. From the few I've seen, should grow similarly to, perhaps a bit slower, than standard sugar maple. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Wed, Jul 10, 13 at 11:38
j0nd03, yes, I think at least from the perspective of all-time record highs and lows, my climate is milder than yours, even though average temperatures overall are probably similar. In other words, your hot days are hotter and cold days colder. Considering that Chalk Maple is considered hardy to zone 5, which is far colder than even most of the mountainous areas of NC that it's native to, I wouldn't be surprised if the Mexican Sugar Maple is similarly hardy - as if they still have deep in their genetic code the ability to tolerate far colder temperatures than currently exist in their native range. I think baldcypress shows a similar tendency. In fact, a lot of southern natives are much hardier than their native range would suggest - both native Catalpas, Southern Magnolia, Nutall oak...even live oak to a limited degree, just some off-the-cuff examples. I think it dates back to the last Ice Age really-they evolved a strong cold tolerance that never went away as the climate warmed. |

Oh, and FWIW, although, if you believe the official range maps, we're technically about ~15-~25 miles SE of the edge of Acer saccharums native range, the planted ones that are extremely abundant here have no problem spreading their seeds & those seeds sprouting and growing. The empty house next door to me that is being remodeled had a 2" caliper sugar maple sapling yanked out of a permanent (built into the porch) raised bed the other day (I'd have tried to dig it myself had I known it was there) that was obviously a seed that sprouted itself. You also see them popping their little heads up over the boxwood and azalea plantings around here sometimes. So I'm sure a mixed planting as you and I both suggest could yield some interesting crosses 15 or so years from now. Who knows...there might be a genetic combination that could create a tree far more able to dominate our forests than what we have now (since A. saccharum is a minor component in MD even where it is native, except at some high elevations in the far western part of the state). |

Question - what does an open-grown Chalk Maple end up shaped like? Does it end up a rounded oval, basically a mini Sugar Maple, or does it have a different shape? |

Yeast and Alcohol Fermentation
Name: Philip Status: student Grade: 9-12 Location: Outside U.S. Country: Australia Date: Spring 2013
If alcohol is poisonous to yeast, why does it produce it?
It is a waste product. Our waste products are poisonous to us too.
Richard E. Barrans Jr., Ph.D., M.Ed. Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Wyoming
Hi Philip,
Thanks for the question. Yes, alcohol is poisonous to yeast, when the alcohol is present in large amounts, say greater than 8%. Alcohol is produced by yeast as a by-product of their metabolism (digesting) of sugars when there is no oxygen present (so-called anaerobic conditions). What happens is that yeast produce alcohol (their waste product) while they are eating sugars. Eventually, their waste product (alcohol) builds up enough that it kills them. For this reason, the alcohol in beer and wine is usually not more than 8% (or less) since the yeast simply die when too much alcohol is present.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have more questions. Thanks Jeff
Hi Philip,
The large scale answer "why" is because it has enabled yeast to survive as a species. It's somewhat similar to the "why" do humans produce carbon dioxide if it's poisonous to us?
The details of the why? Most of the time, the amount we produce is not a problem, we survive, reproduce, and the species survives. However, occasionally, members of the species get trapped in scenarios where they can't escape from their own waste products (humans in collapsed mines, yeast in fermentation tanks), and die. But so long as they produced (before they died) or others have produced some offspring that survive outside of that environment, this is not a problem for the species.
With all toxins, two parameters define their toxicity. The first is a measure of its inherent toxicity to the various living species in the culture. The second is the concentration of the toxic substance in the medium. It may be different for different media, but the concentration nonetheless. When a the concentration of alcohol reaches a certain upper limit, the yeast (or other microbe) decreases in its ability to produce ethanol, the product of fermentation, and eventually dies. This is why certain types of wine, such as sherry or port, have to have ethanol added after fermentation, and why those wines are called "fortified".

Cover design: Gary Burden for R. Twerk. Personnel: The Byrds v. 7.0 Roger McGuinn: vocals, 6- and 12-string electric & acoustic guitars, Moog, banjo Chris Hillman: vocals, 6- and 12-string electric & acoustic guitars, mandolin, bass Gene Clark: vocals, 6-string acoustic, harmonica, tambourine Michael Clarke: drums, congas, percussion David Crosby: vocals, 6- and 12-string electric & acoustic guitars Singles from album sessions: "Things Will Be Better" / "For Free" (UK): Asylum AYM 516 January 1973 "Full Circle" / "Long Live the King" Asylum 11016 Released February 1973 "Cowgirl in the Sand" / "Long Live the King" Asylum 11019 Released April 1973 "Full Circle" / "Things Will Be Better" (UK): Asylum AYM 545 1974 "For Free" Joni Mitchell's version of "For Free" appears on Ladies of the Canyon (Reprise, 1970). "Cowgirl in the Sand" "Cowgirl in the Sand" appears on Neil Young's second solo album, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (Reprise, 1969). "See the Sky About to Rain" "See the Sky About to Rain" eventually appeared on Neil Young's album, On the Beach (Reprise, 1974). |
By late 1972, all of the original Byrds were in a position to reconsider their past differences. McGuinn (like most people) was increasingly dissatisfied with the official Byrds; Gene Clark's work since leaving the Byrds, both solo and with Dillard & Clark, had been critically lauded, but commercially unsuccessful; Crosby Stills Nash & Young had devolved to the less bankable Crosby & Nash; Manassas, though still a going concern, was on hiatus, freeing up Hillman; and Michael Clarke had been at loose ends since leaving the Flying Burrito Brothers in 1971. Under the auspices of Asylum Records honcho David Geffen, who had worked out the complicated deal to team Crosby Stills & Nash on Atlantic, all five original Byrds agreed to reunite in a loose framework modeled on the informal, occasional "group" status of CSN(&Y). Instead of billing themselves as "The Byrds," the group was billed "Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, David Crosby, Roger McGuinn, Michael Clarke" -- kinda like Crosby Stills Nash & Young, except with first names and no ampersand. The group recorded at Wally Heider's Recording Studio, like Crosby Stills Nash & Young. Each of the band members (except Clarke) brought a few songs, and the others backed up that member, like Crosby Stills Nash & Young. Crosby's distinctive harmonies gave many of the songs that Crosby Stills Nash & Young feel. One of Hillman's songs actually sounded a lot like the work of Stephen Stills, and Gene Clark sang lead on a couple compositions by Neil Young. (As on most efforts by Crosby Stills Nash & Young, the most interesting tracks are the Neil Young songs.) The strangest thing about the Byrds reunion album isn't that it was so disappointing -- it's that the five original Byrds recorded a Crosby Stills Nash & Young reunion album. Perhaps it wasn't so strange, though. Most likely the ex-Byrds, and almost certainly Geffen, had dollar signs in their eyes. After all, Crosby Stills & Nash (Atlantic, 1969), Déjà Vu (Atlantic, 1970), and Four Way Street (Atlantic, 1971) all moved millions of units. Why not the Byrds? There was something else at work as well. Of the five, Crosby now had the most clout, thanks to the success of CSN&Y. As a result, he got to be producer, or at least got the credit (and the blame); his mustachioed mug is front and center on the jacket; and, from the sound of the album, he worked out most of the harmonies. McGuinn later commented that Crosby "wanted to minimize my importance in the group, and maximize his, and other people's."* Crosby, of course, denied this, but the finished work supports McGuinn's contention. Unfortunately, McGuinn played into Crosby's supposed agenda. McGuinn: "I didn't put my good songs on the album as I was saving them for my solo album. I felt that everybody was doing the same."* Clearly, McGuinn wasn't kidding about his own songs, both of which are lousy. "Sweet Mary" is likely a discard from his solo album, because it's co-written with Jacques Levy, like several songs on Roger McGuinn (Columbia, 1973). It's another pseudo-British folk song, less successful than past efforts like "Pretty Polly" and even the mediocre "Jack Tarr the Sailor." "Born to Rock 'N' Roll" had been the last song recorded by the Columbia Byrds. This clumsy attempt at straightforward rock 'n' roll would not be Exhibit A for anyone seeking to prove the McGuinn really was "Born to Rock 'N' Roll." (Yet the sheer awfulness of the song didn't prevent him from taking a third crack at it, on the ineffectual solo LP Roger McGuinn & Band (Columbia, 1975).) Neither of these songs had strong vocals or guitar work from McGuinn. In fact, McGuinn's best contribution to the album is the raga guitar on Crosby's remake of "Laughing." Sure, it sounds a lot like his part on "What's Happening?!?!," but the guitar work on "Laughing" is one of the few moments on the album that recalls the work of the Byrds from 1965 to 1967. Sadly, McGuinn's trademark Rickenbacker sound is either absent or mixed low on the rest of the album. Crosby's contributions also suggest that he was holding back material. "Laughing" is one of the better cuts on the LP, but it had appeared only two years before on his solo LP, If I Could Only Remember My Name (Atlantic, 1971). Joni Mitchell's "For Free" is a well-written track, but not Crosby's well-written track. His vocal is clear and strong, but the harmony parts are so raggedy they sound like demos. Had they been fleshed out more, this song could have been a little more Byrdsy as well. Crosby's only new composition, "Long Live the King," is a weak, bluesy track with lyrics that, ironically, tackle the very star-making machinery responsible for this album. Chris Hillman brings two songs with him, each one co-written with a fellow member of Manassas. "Things Will Be Better" was written with ex-CSNY drummer Dallas Taylor, and it's a slight, commercial number with uncharacteristic power chords. Better is "Borrowing Time," co-written with Manassas percussionist Joe Lala. With Mike Clarke on congas, Hillman gets a sound very close to "Love the One You're With" and some of Stephen Stills's other Latin-flavored tunes. The only band member who doesn't seem to be sandbagging is Gene Clark. "Changing Heart" is an engaging mid-tempo number with great harmony work from Crosby. "Full Circle," an apt metaphor for this project, is a strong country rocker highlighted by Hillman's mandolin. Both songs seem to be autobiographical reflections on the vicissitudes of Clark's music career. (Several other tracks arguably pursue this theme, including McGuinn's "Born to Rock 'N' Roll," Crosby's "For Free" and "Long Live the King," and both Hillman tracks. The best tracks here are the Neil Young covers. "Cowgirl in the Sand" gets a countryish arrangement, with harmonies just like the ones on CSNY's Four Way Street. The not-yet-released Young song "See the Sky About to Rain" is the album's standout, with great harmonies and acoustic guitar. The arrangement isn't particularly similar to the original Byrds, and it's not ideal, but it is effective for this track, one of the many great Neil Young compositions. Commercially, Geffen and his cohorts were vindicated -- Byrds might not have earned the kind of revenues they had hoped, but it did make the US Top Twenty, thereby outperforming every Byrds album since Turn! Turn! Turn! (not counting The Byrds' Greatest Hits). Musically, though, the album was a failure, as most critics recognized at the time. Aside from a misguided emulation of CSNY, song-hoarding by some of the participants, and a possible McGuinn-minimization strategy by Crosby, there may have been other problems. The album was recorded very quickly, after only a few weeks of jamming together, at a time when all but Clarke were working on other projects or touring with other people. There wasn't much time to rediscover the old sound or forge a new one. Finally, the band members were reluctant to violate the reigning spirit of détente by criticizing each other's work. With so many obstacles to artistic success, it shouldn't be too surprising that Byrds was a disappointment. Unfortunately, the overwhelming critical rejection of this album so discouraged the participants that they tabled their tentative plans to tour and reunite every so often, leaving this album as the last official word on the group until 1990.

Rolls-Royce to lead Canadian research project for unmanned naval vehicles
Wednesday, 27 June 2012
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, will lead a project to develop new technologies to support unmanned naval vehicle missions, following an award of $3 million from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA).
The development of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) is a rapidly expanding part of naval marine technology, and Rolls-Royce has extensive capability in the handling systems that enable these advanced craft to be launched, refuelled and recovered from the sea.
Rolls-Royce will develop automated systems to support the missions carried out by unmanned naval vehicles, including mine-countermeasures, anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, coastal security patrols and environmental data collection. Rolls-Royce will design refuelling systems so unmanned craft can remain at sea for longer periods, and handling equipment that can deploy underwater sensors remotely from these advanced craft.
Jay McFadyen, President of Rolls-Royce Naval Marine Inc. said: "Future naval and patrol vessels will increasingly use unmanned vehicles to carry out a variety of missions. We are delighted that ACOA is providing significant support to develop these capabilities in our Canadian facilities which are ideally situated close to many of our industrial, academic and governmental partners.
"This research programme will enable us to develop sophisticated systems with significant market potential, and firmly establish this region of Canada as a centre of excellence for these cutting edge technologies."
Dennis Duke, Advanced Programs Director for Rolls-Royce Naval Marine Inc. added: "The technologies resulting from this project will fill a technology gap and provide naval operators with the ability to deploy unmanned vehicles to conduct a variety of missions without putting sailors in harm's way. In addition, the refuelling system will eliminate the requirement to bring the unmanned vehicle back onboard the ship so it can return to its mission with minimal turnaround."
Rolls-Royce intends to leverage its expertise as a leading supplier of sensor handling and stowage systems for naval vessels to develop similar technology for USVs and UUVs that can be rapidly reconfigured for various missions. This will require more lightweight and compact designs with a high level of automation.
- Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 500 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 4,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in more than 80 countries.
- Annual underlying revenues were £11.3 billion in 2011, of which more than half came from the provision of services. The firm and announced order book stood at £62.2 billion at 31 December 2011, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 40,000 people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in over 50 countries. Over 11,000 of these employees are engineers.
- In 2011, Rolls-Royce invested £908 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental performance of its products, in particular reducing emissions.
- Rolls-Royce supports a global network of 28 University Technology Centres, which connect the company's engineers with the forefront of scientific research.
- The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment and to further developing employee skills.
