'Savoy Hotel'
Here's a section of one bed where I have planted nine 'Savoy Hotel'.
Thanks all. Pix were taken this morning. This is the second flush. Savoy Hotel is very disease resistant as well as winter-hardy on its own roots in zone 5. Excellent cut flowers, but no scent. Otherwise, I find it the perfect hybrid tea, which is why I have planted so many - I must have a total of 15 in the different gardens.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful rose and garden with us. I have often wondered about this rose but did not know if it would be hardy here. Good news, it is! Love pink rosesâ¦.well all roses. Your garden is lovely and I hope you will share more with us. Lesley
Here's a shot from my second floor window:
When I had the cabana put up this summer, the workers damaged badly two yellow climbers 'Goldregen' and 'Climbing Carefree Sunshine'. Turns out it was all for the best, as they both put out vigorous new growth from the base. Here you see 'Goldregen' peeking out.
I am finding if I prune back some climbers hard, I get much healthier, vigorous plants. So now I have large, billowing shrubs instead of one-cane climbers with a few flowers at the top.
That is Double Knockout there in front, which I like as a nice red accent.
Thanks, Carol & Nin. Kentucky_Rose: Is Palatine offering it own-root? I ask because my experience with Savoy Hotel as a grafted rose was not that great. It was vigorous for a year or two and then bit the dust. My own-root Savoy Hotel have been thriving for several years now.
OTOH, maybe zone 6 will work for a grafted rose. I'm zone 5.

TNT analyst Charles Barkley went off on the Knicks Monday, calling ownership a "disgrace" for raising ticket prices and then putting a damper on fans' excitement over the acquisition of Carmelo Anthony by saying, "In the history of all basketball, they may be the worst defensive team ever."
Meanwhile, Barkley wasn't himself during his appearance on CBS' NCAA selection show Sunday, bringing up the question of if the network is trying to tone down the act that made him so popular on NBA broadcasts.
Read more about those stories and others, plus check out videos, trivia and more, at Tuesday's Morning Mashup.
Greg and Chris talk more offseason happenings with the Pats and their plans. They talk about some of the free agents toward the bottom of the list with Stevan Ridley and Dan Connolly. Price thinks that Connolly could end up back with the Pats and Ridley elsewhere (Cowboys?), but Greg thinks they both could be back. They also chat about the departure of VInce Wilfork and what he meant to the organization, the re-signing of McCourty and more.
The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out. Of course they lost Revis to the Jets, but what else went on? Greg isn't over the loss of Revis yet and the guys discuss what went into that whole ordeal. Price is looking forward to the additions of Chandler and Cadet. They also get a call from Mike Petraglia and get his thoughts on the Pats offseason moves.
We talk to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News about his column today which basically accuses the Patriots of sour grapes for asking the league to enforce their own rules against tampering.

We talk to Chris Mannix from SI to break down the C's acquisition of Isaiah Thomas and the crazy trade deadline in the rest of the NBA.
Mut, Tomase, and Bradford kick things off talking about Shane Victorino taking offense to people reading into some comments he made about trading for Cole Hamels. They also discuss Blake Swihart and how soon he could be up if Christian Vazquez starts the season on the DL.
Joe Kelly joined the Hot Stove show where he talked about being ready for his next spring training start after a biceps ailment forced him out of his last outing, he talks about his NCAA brackets and how teammate Wade Miley has a perfect bracket still.
Mut, Bradford, and Tomase kick off this weeks show by talking to Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly about his biceps recovery, getting ready for the season and his NCAA brackets. They then talk about the Red Sox depth at closer with Koji Uehara questionable for the start of the season.
Jack Edwards of NESN joins Dale, Michael and Jerry. With 9 games left the Bruins don't have much if any margin of error, and Jack knows it.
DJ, Joe and Pete talk more playoff scenarios in hour 2 and if the Bruins can get in, they'll be a very dangerous team... to the point where DJ thinks teams would much rather face the Senators and are doing their best to oust the Bruins from the equation. It's become apparent now more than ever that Chiarelli probably needed to pull the trigger on a deal for a defenseman at the trade deadline. Also. Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun joins the boys to discuss the Hamburglar and the Senators and Bruins being neck-and-neck for a playoff spot.
With the Senators hot on the tail of the Bruins for a spot in the playoffs, Bruce Garrioch from the Ottawa Sun calls into Sunday Skate. He talks about "the Hamburglar" craze sweeping through the league as goalie Andrew Hammond has really stepped up for Ottawa. They discuss playoff chances, the fans' reaction in Ottawa and more.

We were looking for a family room but we got 2 connected rooms instead of a family room. The hotel does not have family rooms but it was not stated in the reservation process. one of the rooms was designed for the disabled which was very specious but there were 1 single bed and 1 folding bed which was not convenient as we needed a double bed for the kids. Staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel charges 10 Euro per day for parking. Overall very nice hotel, great location for early flights, close to the train station (50 cents per day for parking) with connecting train to the city.

Paid parking procedures were difficult to understand. Business office computers were very slow and almost impossible to use. Road construction/closures in the area made it extremely hard to find!

This was the first time staying at this hotel, and we were greeted as though we were frequent visitors. The facility was very clean and presented very well.We found the room very comfortable and quiet. The location was perfect for ending our trip due to the location to the airport.

Very good hotel, room perfectly clean and neat, but very inconvinient to get there from the airport. It should not be listed as an Airport location

The weekend-price is a real coup, especially during the Octoberfest. However, the location is a big minus, 60 minutes to city center. To get to the local train station, one has to order a taxi (7Euros) or wait for the local bus (bus stop right by the hotel). In the evening/nights+Fri-Sun there is instead a free Sammltaxi, which has to be ordered on the phone 30 minutes ahead. We were not informed about this arrangement by the reception when asking for info about local transport. Breakfast at 15Euros is an outrage, especially since the location of the hotel gives one no outside alternative. The bathtub plughole in our room was clogged plus some other small minuses not to be expected in a four-star hotel. Very good food in restaurant though a little pricey. All in all quite satisfied, considering the advantageous weekend room price.

My Pet
Show us your pet!
Got a new pet? Did your old dog learn a new trick? (Pets are such great entertainment!) We want to help you show off your important family member! It takes just two easy steps to get started...
First, you'll need to set up a user account, then give us some basic information about your pet. When that is completed, your page will be automatically created and ready to be personalized. Then you can really start having some fun while sharing your big news!
Hurry, let's get you started! Start here

You were considerate, professional, and, most of all, compassionate when I arrived at your door, and although you never promised me that my pet would make it through, you assured me you would do your best; you certainly did that!

Make your building inviting, and ensure that your parking options are the best they can be. Make sure you have a real person available to talk to customers over the phone. Learn people's names and use them appropriately. If you have rest rooms, are they clean? Is your web site interesting, engaging and easy to navigate?
Does your personal demeanor invite people in, or does it put out a sign saying, "Danger: Thin Ice?"
With all the customer service gimmicks, tricks and ideas, my most important recommendation is this: Be easy to do business with. Be easy to talk to. Be fun. Be interesting. Be engaged.

Best Architectural Event (2005)
Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver building selection process
The Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver's effort to build a new home began last year, when Mark Falcone and Ellen Bruss donated a tract of land at 15th and Delgany streets. A
series of presentations by six architectural firms from around the world -- all vying to build a new structure on the site -- drew standing-room-only crowds. The MCA's selection panel eventually chose African-born, London-based architect David Adjaye of Adjaye/Associates. Last summer, Adjaye unveiled a model of the proposed building: a glowing lighted box of glass and translucent white plastic. If all goes according to plan, the MCA is bound to be one of Denver's greatest 21st-century buildings.

Best Urgent Care in Salem by Michael - 01/16/2013
I have been coming to this clinic since high school (about 30 years) and it is always friendly and there is virtually no waiting. The staff and doctors are efficient and honest. As a small business owner, they are also an inexpensive option for employees and pre-employment drug screening and DOT and CDL physicals.
great doctor , great service !! by greg - 04/06/2011
Reasonable rates , instead of an up-tight stuffy doctor Dr.Brown was humorous and conforting , explained my symptoms in easy to understand terms . I was in and out in less then an hour ! Will definetly go back !
L.Ac. by Pam - 01/29/2010
Excellent care and follow up care. Professional, competent, very caring for the patients. Highly recommend this clinic.
Awful treatment by none - 12/23/2009
I was sick for over a month when I went to this awful place. The doctor seemed to question everything I said with suspicion. He precribed some anti-biotics that worked great for a few days, then the illness came back. When I called back to tell him I was again very sick his response was " I don't know what to tell you ". I'm out seventy-nine dollars for nothing. When I requested my money back this was denied. Horrible place.
Project Manager by Chip - 03/24/2009
Very professional and prompt service. I have sent several employees for physicals and drug screening and they have never had to wait more than 20 minutes, usually much less.

This was definitely the better of my two morning teas…by far. For one thing, it's not curdled so that's an infinite step up. However, even if that weren't the case this tea is just always a pleasant cup. It's rich like a black tea but has some awesome flavor notes most typically found in white teas (hay immediately comes to mind but there are others in their for sure).
Tried to make this as a latte this morning and that was a whole lotta nope cuz I got a mouthful of milk chunks. That's right…milk chunks. I took a big ole' gulp of curdled milk. Blech!!
That is super gross. My Mother in Law has done the same this with her hibiscus teas so you are not alone.
My tea twin Roswell Strange is really trying to get me into pu'erh I noticed. She is trying sneaky ways to entice me, like sending me this adorable heart (which my mom thought was hash so…). I couldn't resist this so I brewed it up and it's actually not that bad. It's not going to be my new love or anything but it's not as dirty as pu'erh usually is for me. It is more mushroomy but that's balanced slightly by the florals. It's nicely balanced and a fun tea but I'm glad it's just the one cup. Thanks Roswell Strange!!
Apparently I never added this to my cupboard which means I don't get the satisfaction of taking it out of my cupboard but this is a Sipdown of my sample, courtesy of Roswell Strange. I am getting pineapple for sure but it's candied pineapple which is not as satisfying as the actual fruit. It's actually not bad but I doubt I will miss this now that it's gone.
Thank you Roswell Strange for the share as this is one I would not have picked out for myself and I think I would have missed out. This is really a nice tea. The acai is really pronounced though more than a juicy drink, it is coming off sweeter and more jam-like. The base also adds some sweet honey notes which adds to the jam effect. It really is quite nice. I would consider picking up more of this if placing an order.

spider plants
I have never been able to grow these with much success, I am a glutten for punishment I guess cuz I bought one a few weeks ago, determined to get one to do well.
I read somewhere that they don't like chlorinated water so I water it w/ water that has been sitting for a day or so, I let it dry out well in between waterings, I give it moderate light, sits on the fridge where it gets morning sun as well as light from the skylight, I repotted it in a size up bigger pot than the one it came in, I understand they like to be tight in the pot ? ? ? I feed it when I feed my other plants, is there anything else I should know before I sabatage my success once again?
I have some gorgeous house plants but for some reason these will not do well for me.
TIA to any and all comments.
I had one that completly died down to the roots and I watered it, and it came back. They are picky, yes, but they tend to be indestructible as long as the roots stay alive. I have mine outside on a metal shelf, it gets water from the hose, and rarely gets fed. If I do feed it it's via foliar feed when I spray my other plants. I've tried to kill it many times, but have decided if it wants to live, I should let it.
They get spider mites, but the good thing is you can cut all the leaves off, drench the roots, and the leaves will grow back if the top is not damaged on the root system. They do like to be potbound, this is when they start "walking" but they also "walk" out of their pot if it get's too tight. You can repot in new soil yearly as they deplete their soil very quickly. Too much food will cause brown tips, so will lack of humidity, too much light will cause yellowing of the leaves. Other than that, they are really easy. Keep them moist, since they will become one root mass quickly. I'd go ahead and leave it in it's new pot and let it fill in the pot. It will happen quickly. It will then throw out it's spiders. Those can be rooted in water easily. I like to use clear marbles in a clear bowl filled half way with water, so I can watch the development of the roots. I just set the plantlets on top of the marbles, the roots will attach to the marbles eventually. When the root get to about two inches long I pot them up, or they can live in the water forever almost.
I think I've finally gotten the hang out of these plants..I practically murder them in the winter and in the spring, trim the dead, put them outside and just water. Within a month, they are back looking as good as ever. I kept a baby spider in a dessert cup all winter (with drainage holes) and in the spring, I potted it in a 6inch pot and within a couple of weeks, it had practically filled up the 6 inch pot. I would say their care would be lots of light, lots of water (potting soil+perlite), all purpose plant food (no acidity)=easy care plant.
Just a note---spider plants are sensitive to *flouride* (I don't think chlorine is a problem, but I could be wrong). Flouride will not evaporate out of water by letting it sit---you need to use bottled water or well water. My spiders will quickly go to h*ll if I use the city water out of my tap, which is flouridated. ;)
I am using well water now as it is easy to get to, this winter may be a different story tho, we winterize the faucet, I will think of something tho. You all make it sound like they are a piece of cake to grow, I don't know what I do wrong but mine never never survive. I even got a baby from a mamma plant of my friends a few months ago and stuck it in water to root so I could plant it, it got roots, I planted it and next thing I know it is withered up and gone.
I think the light is about perfect for it, high light but never directly shinning on the plant. I do notice it dries out faster on the fridge since it is warm up there, so I do keep an eye on it.
I have some beautiful house plants, friends are always getting clippings off of my plants as they are complimenting how pretty they are, they just haven't seen one of my spiders yet. . . lol
Thanks for all the great advice and tips, I will do my best and see what happens I guess, I am determined to grow one into a beauty. . . crossing fingers toes eyes. . . lol
I had to giggle a bit when you said, "you make it sound like a piece of cake to grow these!" As you'll discover, what other people find "easy" will sometimes just not work with your particular growing conditions. I have over a hundred housplants, many of which others might classify as "difficult." Yet some if the "easiest" plants die the moment they pass my threshold! Dieffenbachias, phalenopsis orchids, peace lillies---can't grow'em to save me life. People tell me my plants are beautiful, and I tell them it's cuz I don't display the dead one! ;)
Maid, have you grown all the now dead spiders on top of the fridge? Maybe it's too warm in that spot? I think spiders prefer somewhat cooler temps. None of my spiders are in heated rooms..semi=heated, but no vents.
One sits right up against the window summer and winter.
I too keep water set out in old milk containers..When I first started growing houseplants, I remember reading, a spider should be water w/water that's sat out at least 24 hours.
It works..no brown ends.
As far as a spiders being kept potbound, that depends..Roots on spiders get pretty big when mature..I had to break a couple pots trying to wedge them out to repot. So, if you bought a spider in a 4" pot, you should repot to a 6"..especially now, while they're growing..and rooting..
One other thing..if you have baby shoots, remove a few, and keep in water..this way, if the mom passes on to plant heaven, you'll have the babies to start new..Toni
As to wether or not the spiders die on top of the fridge, no, I have never had one up there, I just put it there cuz there is a sky light close by so it can get some indirect but bright light from that. And every other spot has too good of light lots of windows and not enough room across from windows. And last but not least, I am running out of room for my plants. I think it's happy up there, I did repot it in a 6" pot from a 4" one so that was a good move, I did so about 3 weeks ago and so far no brown tips,no dropped leaves, no bugs, like I said I think it's happy so far. And according to what I read here and the advice all of you have passed on I think I am on the right track.
No babies yet, it was/is a very young plant from the looks of it. I mentioned the stale water but one post mentioned it was floride not chlorine they don't like, so for now it gets well water. As do all of my plants in the summer until I put up the hose for the winter.
BTW it is a stripped one not solid green. I like the solid ones better but I haven't seen one for sale for a long time. I have seen the bigger ones that have lots of babies but I decided to start with a new smaller one cuz sometimes those bigger ones are hard to figure out. . . transplant or not due to size etc. So this way I can hopefully grow it from a young plant into a mamma with babies plant.. emphasis on "hopefully" lol.
The solid green are the easiest to grow seems like, the striped ones seem to be a little picker. The Hawaiian for me is the hardest to keep alive, I pray and hope for late winters and early spring when it comes to that one so I can get it out under my pine tree where it seems to grow like gangbusters, just got to get it through the Winter:)
another thing I do is I put out containers when it rains and I use that water to water my plants, of course I will never, NEVER try to keep this rain water again, that was a horrible experiance!!!! or experiment, either way you want to look at it, it did not turn out well.
I have a baby! I was so thrilled yesterday while examining my spider plant, it has a 4-6" shoot coming up! I have done nothing out of the ordinary but took all of the advice from here and now, for the first time ever I can actually say my spider plant is GROWING ! rather than existing or worse yet, dying!
Hello Group,
I had moved into a new home this past December. I live in the Hudson Valley/Catskills area of New York State near Kingston. Anyway, In about January I got some cuttings from plants from work. These plants were nice but not doing that great. I got some spider babies and what I know as Swedish Ivy. I rooted the baby spiders in water and then replanted about 4-5 of them in a nice big pot to hang in front of one of my windows. Well the plant is growing like crazy all spring and summer. I water most of the time with water that has sat out for a few days or somtimes water from a mountain spring. well in the pot are about 4 all green plants and 1 mixed white and green plant. Now in the last few weeks I noticed a stem with many babies starting to grow and just this last week I see another new stem starting with babies. WoW, I am very happy because I want lots of babies hanging and I didn't know how long before they would start prducing babies. I would LOVE to learn more about Spider Plants and if anyone knows where else to read up on them let me know. Also What's there True Plant Name. I would also like to know how to ship babies if I can find somone who will exchange with me. Thank you in advance for helping to educate me better. ( firstname.lastname@example.com )
I have a variegated one. I dunno if it was multiple plants on a rhizome (do these have rhizomes?) or just multiple seperate plants, but half of the basket died. From low light. I stuck some of the offsets in the pot, and moved it to a more well lit location, and it did a lot better after that.
Seriously, funniest thing is that I left it in my dorm for three weeks over winter break. No water or anything, and temperatures were probably in the 50s consistently since the heaters aren't on during break. It actually *grew* during that time.
The botanical name of the spider plant is Chorophytum comosum. As far as reading up on them, check out your local library for some houseplant books - I just found two good ones in my library, and am enjoying them. I also found "Success with Houseplants" by Reader's Digest, which is an older, out-of-print book that still has great information in it. I couldn't find it locally, but found it very cheaply on eBay.
Can't help you with shipping, because I've never done that. Good luck with your plants.
The only problem I've ever had growing spider plants are the brown leaf tips associated with very dry air. Other than that, they've been one of the easiest plants I've ever grown.
I tend to neglect mine a bit too much these days, and I always end up with a lot of dying leaves because of my neglect! However, once cared for properly, I find they recover quite well and quite quickly. I wish mine would grow some babies! I think it may be too young... or too neglected!
I live in Miami and mine hangs outside in full sun all day. I water it when I water the rest of my plants. I just cut the brown tips off if there are any and she seems pretty happy. i have never had one before her and she is a solid green variety. She has plenty of babies that I have traded so far. I still have more if anyone is interested. :)
My mother has one of these, it has White strips. The thing has been alive for EVER. I'm in my twenties and this thing was around before I even born. The thing is ancient!
There very easy plants to grow btw. When growing up I remember my mother only watered it once a month. They grow those babies that spider down from the pot. You can cut those off and pot them up and sell them or give them away. Its a nice plant to hand around your window. Doesn't need much direct light. And yes the dont mind being root bound. When I visit my Mother the thing still has been the same pot for more then 10 years.
I LOVE my variegated spider plant. Its so easy to care for and produces so many babies. My grandmother had one for 10+ years and I always liked it and remembered how easy a keeper it was and when I got mine I wasn't disappointed. I live in an apartment in zone 9 and keep it outside under the upstairs balcony so it gets bright light and just a few hours of direct sun in the evenings. It seems to be flourishing under these conditions. Its also planted with some variegated english ivy and they seem to be doing well together.

Do you guys pot your babies directly into soil or in water first? I've been using water, then transplanting. Attaching some pics.
What do the experts think?

Here is a link that might be useful: Spider plant from water
I'm pretty new to spider plants, one of those varieties I never thought I could grow. I received a pup from my mother-in-law and to my amazement, it has taken off and seems pretty happy outside on my patio. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to put it in a hanging basket so hopefully the table will do. :D

The mood was sombre. A total of 1,055 specialist cadets (SCTs) were graduating from their 22-week course, but the atmosphere was far from celebratory. There was no doubt that the passing of Singapore's founding father Mr Lee Kuan Yew had an effect on everyone who was at the parade. The solemnness of the event was amplified by the minute of silence observed by the parade participants and attendees. The graduation parade was held at Pasir Laba Camp on 27 Mar. In his speech, Chief of Staff-General Staff Brigadier-General (BG) Lim Hock Yu paid tribute to Mr Lee, and said that the Singapore Armed Forces' achievements today were only possible through Mr Lee's vision and inspiring leadership. He said: The late Mr Lee firmly believed that a strong defence is the cornerstone of Singapore's success… We pay tribute to him by making sure that every one of our commanders and soldiers continues to be committed to the defence of Singapore. BG Lim added that the strength of the SAF lay not in its advanced military hardware, but in the continued commitment, competence and fighting spirit of its people, and urged the graduands to help their men understand and internalise the importance of National Service (NS). Lead by example and with conviction, empathise with your fellow soldiers, and engage them sincerely. Be their guide and their mentor. In turn, they will look to you for guidance and support. His message was not lost on SCT Audrey Ng. The 24-year-old became a regular with the Military Police (MP) Command as she wanted to do her part by contributing to the defence of Singapore, and keeping it safe. Inspired by her two elder brothers who signed on as regulars, she had asked them the reason for signing on and this was what her elder brother told her: If you can't even protect your country, what makes you think that you can protect your family? And that was why I decided to sign on as well, simply because they've both inspired me. It's not easy, but I have always felt that if my brothers can go through it, I, as their sister, can do it too. There's nothing to stop me, said SGT Ng. Having brothers who were already in the force also helped shape her decision to join the MP Command. Seeing that she liked the law and MP Command was a more disciplined vocation, SCT Ng's brothers advised her to go into it as she would really enjoy (the job) and one where she would stay for long. When asked what kind of leader she would want to be to her men, SCT Ng said: I want to be someone who walks side by side with them because I want to let them know that even though I have a (higher) rank and am in charge of them, we are ultimately the same once we step out of the military. Without their help, there is no way I can finish my task. Giving orders is easy, but teamwork is ultimately most important. For SCT Rohan Matthew Thomas, a ruptured appendix forced him to drop out of his Combat Diving Course (CDC) last August, just three weeks short of his graduation. However, this did not stop the 20-year-old from doing a recourse three months later. I was devastated and very angry. But I had the support of my family. They told me to snap out of it and stop feeling sorry for myself, and start all over again, said SCT Rohan. So I went back. I was so close to the end and I did not feel that there was any reason to give up. The golden bayonet recipient also shared that despite his going out of course, his batch mates made it a point to visit him in hospital and at home each time they booked out. Their heartwarming gestures made SCT Rohan feel like he was still part of their batch. Going through the CDC again may have been tough, but all these just proved that he could really accomplish anything if he put his mind to it. SCT Rohan revealed that he would be going for an Officer Cadet School interview two weeks later. Going through it (the CDC) again just makes me know that I'm tougher than I think I am, and nothing can beat me down. For SCT Jason Lam, being posted to the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) was somewhat of a dream come true. He had always wanted to be a pilot, but a failed test dashed that ambition. Nevertheless, the 21-year-old was glad that he still made it as a Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) specialist. The golden bayonet recipient shared that during his days in GBAD, he and his fellow trainees had to perform a daily 15-minute drill of checking their uniform and bearing, and accounting for strength in the parade square before starting the day. All these helped build up our discipline and our drills, he said. When asked about his thoughts on the passing of Mr Lee, SCT Lam said that while his death was a sad incident, he felt that he should continue to do his best and perform his duties as a full-time National Serviceman well. He added: As an air defender, I think my role is very important, and if anyone wants to attack us, my focus should be on playing my part well. SCT Ng agreed. I really think that what Mr Lee Kuan Yew has left for us is important. There are people who think that NS is a waste of time, but all our defence skills were actually picked up from NS. As Mr Lee said, if we do not want to defend Singapore, who will? Of the graduands, 1,002 were from the Army, 17 from the Republic of Singapore Navy and 36, from the Air Force. Present at the parade were also senior SAF officers, as well as families and friends of the graduands.

They heard the call. They stepped forward. And now, the first batch of Singapore Armed Forces Volunteer Corps (SAFVC) Volunteers (SVs) will finally begin their training. On 24 Mar, 68 non-National Service (NS)-liable Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs) reported at Maju Camp for their enlistment into the SAFVC. After taking their oath of allegiance, like their NS counterparts, they waved goodbye to their accompanying families and loved ones before embarking on a two-week journey to learn to become soldiers. The SAFVC was established as one of the accepted recommendations by the Committee to Strengthen NS, with the purpose of allowing more Singaporeans and PRs to contribute to national defence, show support for NS, and deepen their understanding and ownership of national defence. Since it was officially launched in October last year, the SAFVC has received about 900 applications, from which 150 were eventually selected to form the 2015 cohort. The second and third batches will enlist on 11 Apr and 15 Jun respectively. Interview and selection process The five-month-long selection process included face-to-face interviews between the applicants and a panel of three to five members from the selection board. The board comprised SAFVC commanders, senior commanders from the sponsoring Headquarters (HQs) whose units the volunteers will be deployed to, and senior NS officers with the ranks of Senior Lieutenant-Colonel and above. The first part of the interview is trying to ascertain if the person has the right motivations and aptitude, explained SAFVC Commander Colonel (COL) Mike Tan. Eventually we will ask the sponsoring HQs whether they find the person eligible for his particular role. We then spend a long time deliberating to make sure our assessments are accurate enough. COL Tan also highlighted the importance of including senior NS officers in the panel: These volunteers will be expected to work with NSmen (Operationally-ready National Servicemen). The NS commander has a very important input for me (because) it's the set of eyes making sure that the person before us is able to work with the NSmen. Board member COL (NS) Leonard Yeow, who is Chief of Staff of Division Hub 2, HQ 2nd People's Defence Force (2 PDF), agreed: We were primarily looking at motivation, as COL Tan said. For us who have been in NS for a long time, we listen and decide if it (the motivation for signing up) sounds right. Subsequently we look for the technical capabilities. (Nonetheless), the atmosphere is always positive and friendly. COL (NS) Yeow, who has been in NS for 34 years, added that the process of interviewing applicants had been heartening: While NSmen have enough reasons to be motivated, it's very nice to hear the people they have been defending come forward and say they want to volunteer. Training The first batch of SVs will undergo the Basic Training Course (Continuous) from 24 Mar to 4 Apr. Under instructors from the Basic Military Training Centre and other SAF training schools, they will learn basic military skills like individual field craft, live firing and the technical handling of the SAR 21, as well as undergo the Battle Inoculation Course (BIC). The course will culminate in a two-day field camp on Pulau Tekong. When asked how the training would cater to such a diverse group of SVs, COL Tan explained: (Indeed, we have) two genders (with ages ranging from) 18 to 45 years old, different cultural backgrounds. We spent a long time with our trainers discussing how to do the training. In the course of preparing my trainers, I can't help but hark back to those days when we had the Hokkien platoons when we (the SAF) first started. We have a long history of training people, so I am confident. Although tough, many of the SVs are already looking forward to training and learning about the military way of life. I'm most looking forward to the BIC, Kimberley Winona Jeremiah, a 19-year-old Mass Communication student at Republic Polytechnic, said excitedly. I've liked military stuff since I was young and I wanted to sign up because I like the training involved, such as the Standard Obstacle Course, and learning to shoot the rifle. Even though I'm scared of the physical aspect, joining a sport in poly has prepared me. Citing her father, Lieutenant-Colonel (LTC) (NS) Jeremiah Jonathan Mark, as her inspiration, Ms Jeremiah hopes that becoming an info-media staff would allow her to spread awareness of the SAFVC among young people like herself. It's like a dream come true for me, said LTC (NS) Jeremiah, Commanding Officer of 806th Battalion, Singapore Infantry Regiment. Last time, when we went to MMRC (Multi-Mission Range Complex), I would come back and tell her about it. But there was no way she would have a chance to see it. In my heart, I was thinking, how I wish I had a chance to bring her there. Now, there's a chance. LTC (NS) Jeremiah added wistfully: I hope this will open her eyes. It will also inculcate a never-say-die attitude in her. As for Dr Vidyadhar Padmakar Mali, a Senior Consultant in the National University Hospital, he hopes his participation will in turn inspire his son, who will be serving NS in two years' time. We've always brought him up to know that he has to serve NS once we became PRs, so there was no two-ways about it. And my going through this process ahead of him gives him a positive outlook. He will see his own father doing NS out of his own volition, even though it's not mandatory for me, explained the 45-year-old, who has since obtained his citizenship. He will be joining the SAFVC as a medical doctor. Becoming an SV is also a family affair for Mr Jiang Hong, a PR from China who has been living in Singapore since 2006. I can see that I am half Singaporean, because I studied here, I'm working here, and my family is here. I should protect my family and Singapore, he said earnestly. The 27-year-old is a Transactional Logistics Coordinator in Becton Dickinson Holding Pte Ltd, and became a PR in 2012. Mr Jiang revealed that his wife, also a PR, is equally keen to join the SAFVC. After I told my wife of my interest in participating, she wanted to apply too. But I told her to wait until I had finished my training, so that at least there was someone to watch over the home. She was very understanding. Maybe she will apply in the next batch. Following their graduation from the Basic Training Course, the SVs will begin their Qualification Training in the latter half of the year, to prepare them for their specific roles in the SAF. They will then have the opportunity to be deployed from this September onwards.

A remote-controlled plane that can take off and land vertically - without first taxiing on a runway - was the big winner at this year's Singapore Amazing Flying Machine Competition (SAFMC). Created by a team of students from Singapore Polytechnic, the flying gadget achieves this feat by tilting its wings - along with it its propellers - upward. They beat 29 other teams to emerge first in the unconventional aircraft category. Their plane also won the 1800-metre flight race, with a timing of 150 seconds, and the freestyle performance competition. The team are members of the polytechnic's aviation club: Mr Jonas Hii, 21; Mr Bryan Lim, 19; Muhd Hazim, 19; Mr Ho Cheng Wei, 21; and Mr Gavin Lim, 20. They took four weeks to conceptualise and create their flying machine. Our plane is able to take off on the spot in confined spaces, just like a helicopter, said Mr Bryan Lim. Considering the fact that most commercial and military planes require a runway to take off, what these students achieved was noteworthy. Their inspiration came from the XC-142, a tilt-wing military aircraft, created by the United States Air Force to test the feasibility for vertical take-off and landing in a military operation. Such capability is valued by the military as it allows an aircraft to take off when a runway is damaged or not available. There were over 1,100 participants in the competition which was open to primary, secondary, and tertiary students as well as members of the public. They competed against one another in creating flying gadgets in various categories, including paper planes, gliders, and radio-controlled aircraft. Currently into its 7th year, the competition, which is organised by DSO National Laboratories and Science Centre Singapore, aims to promote interest in science and technology among Singapore youths. It attracted eight international teams from Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia this year. Second Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing gave out the awards to the winners at the Science Centre Singapore on 21 Mar. In his address, Mr Chan noted how advancement in aviation technology had made long-haul flight possible, allowing Singapore to become a global aviation hub in the past decades. But the Republic now faced stiff competition from other countries. He urged the students - the scientists and engineers of tomorrow - to continue their good work, and come up with the next generation of technology. Whether Singapore can continue to entrench our position as a global node will depend on your effort, of what you can come up with, what you can invent, what you can innovate… he said. For teachers and parents A new competition category was introduced this year to encourage parents and teachers to learn alongside their children and students. Twenty-three teachers and parents took up the challenge to create paper planes that could fly the longest, furthest or most accurately. In his address at the award ceremony, Professor Lim Tit Meng, Chief Executive of Science Centre Singapore, commended the parents who joined the new competition as a way to encourage their children to take part in SAFMC 2015. He said: We salute you because you instil the kind of passion, together with your children, that would go a long way.

To celebrate Singapore's golden jubilee, photographers have captured the multiple facets of Singapore life across the eight themes of Celebrate, Culture, Diversity, Heritage, Home, Makan, Progress, and Hopes Dreams, in the 12th SAFRA Photographer of the Year award competition. Organised by the SAFRA Photographic Club, the biennial competition attracted a record participation of 80 National Servicemen photographers. They contributed a total of 300 photographs - each featuring Singapore's unique identity and aspirations. Minister of State for Defence and Deputy President of SAFRA Dr Maliki Osman unveiled the winning photographs and presented prizes to the winners, at SAFRA Toa Payoh on 20 Mar. Organising Chairman Ken Lim said: We are very heartened that this year's focus on SG50 has garnered so much support from the photography community. Every photograph is a tribute to the things that make us Singaporean. They remind us of our roots and what makes this our home. Merit award winner Leow Ek Teck, said: The idea was to capture moments and slices of Singapore that would otherwise have been lost. His winning photograph was of the Singapore Armed Forces paratrooper, Red Lion 3rd Warrant Officer (3WO) Shirley Ng, which he submitted under the theme of Hopes Dreams. Explaining his prize shot, Mr Leow said: There was this sense of joy that she finally made it and achieved her dreams when she participated in the National Day Parade. Walking beside 3WO Ng in the picture is a young Red Lion. Said Mr Leow: The young Red Lions, I presume, would someday want to become freefallers as well, so that is a dream they aspire to. Members of the public can view the winning photographs which will be on display at SAFRA Toa Payoh till 29 Mar. The exhibition will also feature the best works of more than 40 pioneer and associate members of the SAFRA Photographic Club.

For some years now, Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) soldiers have learnt off-road driving skills in a purpose-built facility. PIONEER recently had a go at it. In a small city-state criss-crossed with some of the best paved roads this corner of the globe, soldiers looking for some serious off-road driving training can find themselves in a bit of a fix. After all, crossing rough terrain is in every soldier's job description. So what is an army to do? It builds a facility filled with the kind of obstacles and track conditions that a military driver might encounter, right in its own backyard. The SAF Cross Country Driving Circuit (CCDC) was built so that we can have the space to train capable transport operators in a realistic setting and to give them the confidence to deal with the cross-country road conditions that they have to negotiate during operations, said Chief Warrant Officer Devendran S K B, Commanding Officer SAF Supply and Transport Centre. Completed in 2009, the CCDC is tucked away in the quiet Mandai area where many military camps sit. It is a 36-hectare facility built to train soldiers on the finer points of off-road driving. The CCDC holds 26 stations ringed by a 5km track, and is filled with the kind of obstacles that seasoned rally race car drivers would be more accustomed to. With inclines so steep that all you see is the sky to descents so hairy that they strain the braking foot, the CCDC is not a place to visit on a full stomach. Rough roads The stations are plainly named - Muddy Track, Plank Bridge and Trunk Logs - so that operators know exactly what they are getting themselves into. Once on the course, trainees realise immediately what it is like to go off-road. And even the tiniest increase in speed seems to cause the vehicle to pitch and roll, making the stations more exciting than their monikers. Trainees are also taught the right way of engaging different settings on the SAF vehicles, which allow them to negotiate roads that would faze less hardy vehicles. For example, the Ops Utility Vehicles (OUVs) have a low-range setting to give the vehicle more torque to climb steep inclines.

PIONEER writer Matthew Neo becomes a 2nd Lieutenant (2LT) who has to help defend Singapore against an enemy invasion in Ops Battleforce 2, the SAF's latest action strategy game. I'm glad to see you here, 2LT Matthew, said the imposing Brigadier-General from the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) as he introduced himself. It is a challenging time for us now as our home has been invaded…but we shall stand steadfast and defend our home with all our might. As a commander in the game, I was provided with a bird's eye view of the battlefield. Moving the map about was simple - a series of swipes and pinches that should be familiar to anyone accustomed to using a touch-screen mobile phone - and commanding the movement of my troops was as easy as tapping them, and drawing a route to a new rally point. Sounds simple enough, but I was soon subject to a trial by fire. Enemy reconnaissance troopers had landed on the island, and I was tasked to take them out. I placed my entire force of 10 infantry soldiers on the drop zone on the beach before advancing towards enemy headquarters. As the timer ticked towards zero, my troops encountered heavy enemy fire. Pressure was mounting, but it seemed my tactics were effective as the enemy headquarters went up in flames with time to spare. As I got further in the game, more units were unlocked. Many a boring bus ride home transformed into a carefully choreographed battlefield with long-range artillery supporting the might of Leopard 2SG tanks while aircraft streaked overhead and frigates watched from the sea. Units have three modes or stances - guard, aggressive, and hold - which dictate how they respond to an enemy presence. I was particularly impressed with the amount of control I had over my units: Everything - from the position of an airstrike to the route my tanks and infantry took to an objective - was left up to me. The campaign became progressively challenging, pushing me to constantly think of new strategies or approaches to succeed. Hats off to the men and women who serve in the SAF. Commanding my forces from the comfort of an air-conditioned room was tough enough, so one can only imagine the trials that they go through in the field. This game may not boast intricate graphics or complex gameplay, but it has definitely instilled in me a new appreciation for the need for defence.
