- This show has passed.
April 14 @ 11:30 - 12:10
Genre: Music performance with live cello and piano
Age: Anyone aged 2 and up.
Wind in your face, wind to suspend in, wind to grab you, wind to be caught.
Wind through your fingers, wind that flies, wind that flutters, wind that rocks gently.
How does the wind feel? How does it sound? And how do you create your own wind?
From a caressing breeze, quiet rustle to flying swish the show takes you on a whirlwind journey past tumbling, fluttering and swaying.
Will you join us to find out where the wind comes from? Move with the breeze, fluttering leaves and swaying feathers.
Waai is an exciting musical performance in which cellist Florien Hamer and pianist Carlos Guerrero wonder where the wind is. Is it from a suitcase or from underneath your skirt? Is it in your mouth? But what if the wind is unstoppable and comes from everywhere at once?
SOIL, founded in 2003 by cellist Florien Hamer, consists of Marijn Korff de Gidts (percussion and composition), Brook Cuden (piano) and Florien Hamer (cello). Since 2005 the ensemble creates music theatre shows for small audiences and at location for both children and adults. Throughout the years SOIL has created itself around a louse group of theatre makers, dancers, actors and mime-actors and chooses a suitable combination for each show. Marijn Korff de Gidts is part of the group since 2010 as percussionist and composer.
SOIL has cooperated with the Hans Hof Ensemble, Plan-D, ZTHollandia, tgBloodyMary. SOIL has composed shows for e.g. the Wiener FestSpiele, Oerol Festival and Noorderzon. Waai is their first performance for this age group. For more information about SOIL please check www.soil-ensemble.nl.

Road accidents remain a nightmare in Ho Chi Minh City with more than 1,000 people being killed or injured in 750 accidents this year.
A report at a meeting Tuesday to review traffic safety month -- September – said while the number of accidents had fallen, the number of deaths was up by 14.
The number of fatalities during the traffic safety month was the highest for this year, with the biggest increases seen in border districts like 2, 7, 12, Binh Tan, Thu Duc, Binh Chanh, and Can Gio.
Le Hoang Quan, chairman of the city people's committee, who chaired the meeting, criticized the leaders of some districts with a large number of fatalities for failing to understand the government's decree No. 88 on strengthening traffic safety measures.
Experts said accidents in the city were mainly caused by poor awareness of traffic laws.
Encroachment of roads by vendors and shops in places like the Nhieu Loc – Thi Nghe Canal also contributed to the increase in accidents, Quan said, adding that local authorities would be held responsible for this.
He also urged the authorities to approve funds to buy necessary equipment for the traffic police like speed guns and breathalyzers.
Colonel Ngo Minh Chau, deputy director of the city police, said a citywide hotline would be set up to combat illegal street racing which was becoming rampant.
"All authorities have their own responsibilities in reducing accidents. Every month is a traffic safety month," Quan said.

"Incorrect directions to Day Surgery Unit at Heartlands Hospital"
About: Heartlands Hospital / General surgery Heartlands Hospital General surgery B9 5SS
Posted by heedmaster (as ),
My admissions letter (filename zzGenaddsam) states that I was to attend the Day Surgery Unit at Heartlands Hospital. This was my second visit to Heartlands, the first had been to Outpatients for a pre-op assessment.
There was no map accompanying my admissions letter, but there was a direction. Under the heading 'Location' it stated "The Admissions Lounge is located on Ward 5, first floor of the main block". Ward 5 is actually the admissions lounge for those who will be staying in hospital pre- or post operation.
The nursing staff were apologetic, took a copy of my letter and said they would take it up with the Patient Booking team. They then directed me to the Day Surgery Unit which is quite a walk from Ward 5.
Not impressed by the admin at Heartlands, though the medical attention I received was first rate.
Response from Iona Belgrove, Patient Services Manager, Heart Of England NHS Foundation Trust 3 years ago
Dear Heedmaster
Thank you for your feedback regarding the directions error to get to Day Surgery Unit at Heartlands Hospital. I will forward your email to our General Manager for Surgery who will look onto the concerns that you have raised.
I wish you a speedy recovery and apologies for any distress this cause you.
Kind regards

For all those people who were wondering whether Mishal Raheja of the Laagi Tujhse Lagan fame is hibernating, here is a good news – He will soon be seen as a cop in Sony TV's new show Encounter which will be hosted by none other than our favorite reel life gangster Bhikku Mhatre aka Manoj Bajpai.
Along with Mishal Raheja the show will also star Mazher Syed who was last seen in a comic role in Mrs. Pammi Pyarelal. Also, Aditya Redij of Na Ana Is Des Laado who is a hottie in the eyes of all the young girls will be seen in the show as an Inspector. Perhaps he'll be an encounter specialist, just a speculation though. Besides, Adaa Khan and Prashant Narayanan are also part of the show. I guess, Prashant in one of the episodes is a gangster.
Seems like Fans will have a double dhamaka as they not only get to witness their favorite television actors back on small screen but also real life encounters executed by the brave men of law.
Over the years, many of the gangsters have arisen from the streets to great heights of underworld by consuming lot of power, money and cruelty. Encounter in its 35 episodes starting from April 11 in its one hour episode will show how our men in khakhi executed such gangsters in dangerous encounters.
The show will be aired weekends from Friday to Sunday on Sony TV with Manoj Bapai narrating the story in the background. Buzz is that we will also get to witness the famous Manya Surve's story here and his infamous encounter.
Watch this space for all the 35 episodes

When your Kia Forte Koup left the factory, it was destined for a driver who wants driver satisfaction in their automobile. Auto enthusiasts know that long-lasting service is built into each Kia, and know that only the highest quality repair Forte Koup parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. You picked your Forte Koup because its fuel efficiency and economical pricing struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Kia vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to maintain your car or truck.
Multi-speed climate control has been around for decades, and is a convenience we all take for granted. A heater blower resistor gives you the ability to control the level, volume, and speed of the heat and A/C that comes from the vents. Directly connected to your blower switch, your Kia Forte Koup blower motor resistor modulates the resistance applied to the circuit that handles the load of the blower motor. When you command your Kia Forte Koup heater to blow on "High", it lowers the resistance so that all the amperage reaches the blower. Conversely, at the lowest blower setting the circuit is running high resistance so fewer amps go to the blower motor.
When your Kia requires the best replacement Blower Motor Regulator Resistor, there's no need to waste time looking anywhere other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Procuring new Kia parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Forte Koup parts on the internet. When it comes to Kia Forte Koup Blower Motor Regulator Resistor parts, you can find them for 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

The Scition Joule gives Wilmington Plastic Surgery's experts unparalleled precision and adaptability. Through precise selection among the Joule's many settings, our staff can fine-tune every treatment for each individual's needs, with little to no discomfort.
No other technology is as versatile, safe, and effective.
Wilmington Plastic Surgery uses the unrivaled power and versatility of the Joule laser's many modules to customize treatment for every individual patient. The Joule is the one laser for skin resurfacing, regardless of the level needed for effective treatment.
After analyzing your particular aesthetic concern or medical condition, as well as your skin type, your Wilmington Plastic Surgery laser expert has an entire spectrum of resurfacing options from which to select a precise depth for ablation and coagulation. The treatment prescribed is based on:
This youth-restoring treatment involves minimal downtown through a light resurfacing of the skin. The skin's tone, texture and color are evened out, leaving a healthy, overall youthful glow. Microlaser peel options available at Wilmington Plastic Surgery include:
Stimulates new collagen growth by creating micro-ablated channels into the skin. Minimal downtime; rapid healing.
The most advanced and effective full-field skin resurfacing solution available, this aggressive procedure truly erases wrinkles, pigmented lesions and other skin irregularities in the epidermis and dermis.
Innovative technology that delivers precise light therapy to a specific target.
Forever Young BBL effectively targets the signs of aging and sun damage. In younger patients, Forever Young BBL can maintain the skin's supple properties, protecting it from the signs of aging. Patients whose skin has already begun to show the effects of aging or sun damage can restore a refreshed, rejuvenated and youthful appearance to the skin.
Forever Young BBL has been cleared for the following conditions (but is not limited to):
Patients who wish to maintain a more youthful appearance find that with regular Forever Young BBL treatments, their skin can continue to look clear, smooth, and much younger.
Many patients feel the treatments not only stop the clock; they turn it back. Patients in a national study who received Forever Young BBL over a nine-year period appeared not to have aged during that time, and look ten years younger than their actual age.
Unlike most hair removal devices that apply all of their energy to an area all at once, Forever Bare BBL allows for extremely even heating of hair follicles. It minimizes missed areas that occur with traditional hair removal devices, and is safe, fast, effective and more comfortable.
Sciton's tunable resurfacing technology is unique because it separates ablation and coagulation, allowing for precise application of each. (Ablation refers to resurfacing, or the removal of the outer layer; coagulation is the heat process that tightens or firms skin.)
Wilmington Plastic Surgery physicians can select the exact amount of both ablation and coagulation needed for every individual patient's medical condition or aesthetic issue, as well as the patient's desired outcome and tolerance for downtime. The technology allows our physicians to plane down mild to deep wrinkles externally, while stimulating the dermal collagen internally. The skin also becomes more resilient as a result, and continually improves over weeks and months.
Because the Joule offers better ablation through more efficient water absorption, patients experience far fewer side effects. Higher water absorption also means higher efficiency and precise control. The energy is extremely targeted, and does not radiate into the surrounding tissue.
While avoiding a noticeable scar is not the primary concern of any surgery, it should be an important consideration in the final treatment plan. For practically any type of surgery, Wilmington Plastic Surgery's laser technicians have the capability to reduce post-surgical scars. For patients who have undergone uncomfortable or even traumatic injuries, illnesses and surgeries, removing unsightly scars and/or markings for radiation treatments can provide an overall sense of wellness and the ability to move beyond their illness.
The blessed event of childbirth can cause some unwelcome aesthetic changes to a woman's body. With our various lasers, we can effectively treat these concerns, helping restore your pre-pregnancy complexion and figure. The excellent results gained from these non-invasive treatments can make a significant difference in your emotional recovery, as well.

The Post Huritian Northeast
In the start of the year 1273 (520 AD) the legend of the Huritian league and the several chiefs as well as their downfall had spread to almost all of the tribes around the Great Lakes as well as the ones up the Nixkamich (St. Lawrence) River and even out to the coast and as low as Delaware Bay. Other tribes were beginning to start to take up the same cause that they had heard about in legends. This did not exclude Hurit itself or the cities of what was the Enola-Huron which had conquered the Huritians and then fell apart themselves. The Huritians were not prepared to give up on their own city though it seemed like everyone else expected it to fade into obscurity after losing so much power and influence.
The Twin Chumani and the Huron Cities
New Cities were growing all around this region as well. The feelings of the independent and peaceful cities of the Huron had faded. The dependent and weak feelings of the other cities on Lake Chumani had also given way to ambitious leaders. On the other side of Lake Chumani there were twin cities named Cha'risa (Toronto) and Tablita (Ottowa). They were part of the Chumani Confederation but their hegemony fell apart when their tributary cities fell with the whole of the Great Lakes region. They chose to fend for each other rather than separately as they both could see that they would always be trying to conquer each other and never be able to take anyone else. This relationship worked very well and allowed them to expand into the areas north of the Great Lakes rather far. The conflict with this order did not come until these Chumani cities reached Lake Huron. The cities of Zitkala (Bay City, Michigan) and Cheboygan fought to keep these from taking Lake Huron. The alliance between these two would not extend over the waters of the Huron. They took what they wanted from the defeated Twin cities of the Chumani but refused to give up their own hostilities.
The least bothered of the new cities was on the edge of the influence of the Great Lakes. In Minwaking (Milwaukee), Lake Michigan was their home and their mode of transportation. However, with the largest cities being so far away the movement of good from great cities like Hurit was long and many ships could not carry the necessary amount of good as well as supplies for the merchants carrying them. Minwaking grew despite their marginal place in the complex politics of the other cities. Their first Chief, named Hesutu, began to build the kinds of irrigation and military technology that they heard about in the stories of the great Abukcheech and his Huritian League. Minwaking was the only major player so far away from the others and they wanted to make their presence known. They had the resources to intrude on the dominance that the Enola, and the cities of Cheoygan and Zitkala had on the Michigan Peninsula.
The Rebirth of the Iroquois cities and the rival on the Nixkamich (St. Lawence) River.
Hurit (Rochester) had fallen into disarray after its conquest but many of its buildings still stood and once the Enola-Huron fell back to their homes the process of reconstruction began promptly. The other cities of the Huritian League began to turn their arms into farming tools to repair their fields which were so destroyed by the Enola-Huron. These cities were Keme (Syracuse, NY) and Megedagik (Buffalo, NY) and they formed the new Huritian League, though it was not nearly as powerful as it was when it was first built. Their main enemy was the bordering country, on the other edge of the Great Lake region, which was actually once part of the League's dominion, was the Kingdom of Qochata (from what is Quebec in OTL) which inherited technology, loyalty, and money from what was the territory of the League. Qochata was ruled not by a Chief but by a man styled King because he had an extensive family tree which extended back for generations and to the founding of the Huritian League. Qochata made the Nixkamich River more than just a movement of water that was out of sight and mind. They wanted fame and recognition and to be released from obscurity like almost all the other states emerging at this time.
The Chesapeake State
I say almost because there was one group of cities, and surrounding forests, which did not want to be seen by anyone. They had a fair amount of land and many of their military leaders were inspired by stories of men like Abukcheech and Sitsi but they were so lacking in self-confidence that they feared any possible rival. Though they had success they were not ones who were subjects to the pride and vociferous cries of the people for conquest like some of the other states. This may have been partly due to the fact that there weren't many rivals around them. They were defended by mountains and water mostly but they were able to defend themselves and feared the possibility that they could not. These were the Conoy-Nanticook who were started around those two cities, corresponding to Baltimore, Maryland and Dover, Delaware respectively, as well as their close neighbor of Tocho, which corresponds to Philadelphia.
Though some cities were new and others had long histories they both emerged after the fall of Enola Huron and the Huritian League. The shadow of men like Abukcheech and the other chiefs could not be filled so easily, however, and they all knew that. To overcome this inadequacy they engaged in feats that would change their world.
The Culture of Fear
All of the new states of the Great Lakes Region were suspicious of their neighbors. The reputation of Hurit, known for their massive conquests of vast amounts of land, made it particularly fearful of its neighbors as well as create the reverse emotion in these other states, should the Huritians renew these ambitions
In the year 1280 (527 AD) a new mine was opened in the Chiefdom of Cha'rissa and Tablita. It was rumored that they had discovered a new sort of gunpowder was discovered there and that the Cha'rissa Chiefs had made a new weapon that could demolish the walls of the cities which were protecting these cities. Though Cha'rissa and Tablita did not confirm the rumor it did not keep it from spreading to the whole area. The Chiefs of New Hurit and Enola began what was called the Ten Years' War.
Simply the idea that the Cha'rissa State could attack their neighbors initiated the conflict. It started with simply the New Hurit, who were also likely acting in the interest of proving that they still had the power to attack. The Huritians were entering the coasts of Lake Chumani and were moving in on the city of Tablita. The Cha'rissa moved once they got word of the landing of the Hurit on their shores. They entered on the back of the Huritian troops and hoped that Tablita would move to attack the front and they could defeat the Hurit by closing in from both sides. Tablita was not doing this though.
The forces of the Huritians moved back from the city to take on the annoyance which had emerged behind them. The people in Tablita did not move out from their city until after their ally had been essentially defeated. The confusion that this created became mistrust of one city for the other. The Tablita and Cha'rissa began to move away from each other but there were still reasonable amounts of cooperation between the cities. By the end of the first year the Huritians had been pushed mostly off of the land of the twin cities. This did not stop the rumors and the Huritians actually told the Enola and the Qochata that the rumors were true and that was the reason that the victory came to the Cha'rissa and Tablita. Plans were also manufactured by the Huritians and given to these neighbors about how the Cha'rissa were planning to take these other states when in reality they had no such ambitions.
The Cha'rissa had no idea why this was happening to them. The destruction the Huritians brought to their crops was immense and many people starved in the big cities. The Cha'rissa moved out to take the land from their neighbors which was so much more fertile than their own. This confirmed the suspicions of the Qochata and the Enola states. Again the Huritians attempted to take on the Cha'rissa, since they knew now that the Cha'rissa and Tablita had no such great new weapon. However the generals decided that rather than move into the Cha'rissa and Tablita state, they should wait until all of these areas had destroyed each other and then move, gaining four states for the effort of one.
The Cha'rissa-Enola War of 1281 (528 AD)
The long border on the peninsula between Lake Enola and Lake Michigan had been hotly desired since the start of the expansions of these states. Cha'rissa held grasp of the upper half but the Enola held the other and were able to counter almost all of the moves of any country against them. The Enola invaded through their border, which did hold a superior position, and the Cha'rissians had very few options. Despite this they kept a large advance from happening and when they came through int he end,spite a smaller total force, there was cause for rejoicing. A small village near the border, but actually on the Enola side, became the focus of attack. It was considered a key to the border as it was the most developed area around. It was called Kachina and when the Cha'rissa captured it there were not going to be a peaceful day for the people there.
The Cha'rissian commander, Comi, was making sure to protect his gains in the city of Kachina. The nearest Enola Command Center in Hanola (Woodstock, Ontario) was preparing to take back this important city. The Cha'rissians came down from the higher ground to meet the troops from Hanola. Comi met the Enola commander and questioned the nature of this war. He was told that it was a preemptive strike against the more powerful state. Comi killed the man, without knowing about the misunderstanding which led to this war. The swords of the Cha'rissians were covered in Enola blood, but, the Enola Chief in the capital at the end of the lake which is their namesake was not satisfied with the performance of his highest commander.
Chief Uzumati of Enola and Commander Comi were going to ace off in the city of Hanola. The Cha'rissian were building up all their forces in the buildings of Hanola, which they knew would be the site of the Enola response. Uzumati brought a much larger force with a much more competent commander than could be found before. A contingency of Uzumati was sent around the city and told to move in from the other side and increase their chances. Uzumati would come in first and serve as the first distraction and give the troops on the other side time to attack. With Uzumati's forces now being considered a distraction the Cha'rissians would be forced to choose between the two armies. Uzumati split them both equally so that neither side would seem like the focal point. Comi was not able to see through this tactic until it was too late and the city was retaken at the expense of his life. The victory in Hanola was followed by a recapturing of Kachina. In the year 1284 (531 AD), Uzumati was ready to move into the actual state of Cha'rissa and Tablita.
The Tablita-Qochata Peace of 1283 (530 AD)
Qochata was the outsider in the relations of the states on the Great Lakes. It and Minwaking, on the other side of the lakes, were ignored by the several states clustered in the more developed part of the Northeast. This not even mentioning the distance and complexities between these and the Chesapeake State. The River around which the Qochata were founded played an important part in its development in the same manner as their older neighbors. This ships being built by the forest rich hinterlands of Qochata were not any different than those of other states but they made many more than their neighbors. Tablita was one of the early states which was resting on its reputation and age to take on the Qochata. The leaders of the state which these two cities did not seriously question the purpose of the Qochata or the Enola when the invaded.
The large navy of the Qochata, which dwarfed the Tablita due to their earlier wars with the new Huritians and the ongoing war with Enola, came on heavily to the border areas between these two states. The defensive maneuvers of the Tablita, as well as their blockade of Lake Chumani (Ontario) from the Nixkamich (St. Lawrence) River, won them apparent victories though they were very costly. The Qochata Generals eventually met with the Tablita Commanders and made formal peace with the state after a stalemate was all that was happening between them. However when the Tablita troops, those that were left, began to move back to their military centers in the main cities they approached a miserable set of events.
The Chumani War
The Siege of Cha'rissa
{C}The Enola were preparing to move into the city of Cha'rissa and the troops of Tablita were arriving on the news of the impending danger to their sister city. This is the time when the New Huritian State began to mobilize its forces dually. They understood that to take on two enemies at once would be a gamble for them, as they were no longer the only military power on these lakes. The gathering of the movements and interactions of the armies around Lake Chumani was intense by the allies and workers of New Hurit and secrecy was key. The Enola still did not entirely understand the circumstances which led to their war but they were pushing forwards with the goal of capturing at least the city of Cha'rissa. It was a bright endeavour as the Cha'rissians were much weaker at the start of the Chumani War then they were when Cha'rissa and Enola fought just a few years ago.The Enola moved up their namesake Lake (Lake Erie OTL) and into Lake Chumani. They moved in from around the city of Cha'rissa and try as they did they were pushed back all the way to the main earthworks guarding the city and then its walls. The population of Cha'rissa were not cowering however. They were dropping many sorts of heavy boulders, as well as a simple alcohol container with a fuse of grass or cloth which would burst when they landed or were thrown too hard. The Enola actually did suffer more losses than they intended and the siege on the city of Cha'rissa. The last nail in the coffin for the city came when the sea reinforcements came behind the land troops from the border. Fighting of many of the Enola was focused on the sequestration of the native Cha'rissian citizens. The nearby areas were taken by the Enola but the city of Tablita was claiming the right to these lands.
The Final Battles
{C}The city of Tablita and the Enola people met in between the who cities on the shores of Lake Chumani. This was the moment that the New Huritians decided to move themselves. With the Chief of Enola and the best of their army outside of the City of Enola the Huritians believed that their success there was all but certain, and for the most part this was true. When the City of Enola was besieged in the year 1285 (532 AD) the Enola army had not idea what had happened. It wasn't until they and the small tablita army were both consumed by the New Huritian Invasion force. Celebration came as the imprisoned leaders of Tablita and Enola were paraded through the cities of Hurit (Rochester), Megedagik (Buffalo) and Keme (Syracuse). Tying up the loose ends and rebellious minorities which lived between the major cities and thrived in the proud villages became the main task of the New Huritian League. Chief Hinto of New Hurit, second Chief of the New Huritians, began to be compared to the older Chiefs, like Abukcheech and Sitsi.

very nice
With the recent success of Austral as a ship builder (gaining contracts in the middle east for patrol boats and sea lift ships, not to mention the LCS contract with the USN), Austral have now released a new concept and this one keeps up the spirit of Austral's designs.
The Multi Role Corvette (MRC) is basically a mini LCS aimed at affordability and flexability. It can carry an organic air componant,
has davits for two RHIB's
and can also carry MOST of the Australian Army's vechiules (can not take M-1A-1 Tanks or varients thereof)
and when not being used as a cargo hold, the Mission bay can hold all sorts of other equipment such as; mines for mine laying, mine warfare equipment and even torpedos for anti submarine service.
Armourment consists of 1x 25mm Bushmaster up front and 4x .50cals (two either side of the hanger door amid ship and two aft in little pontoons either side of the aft door, just below the flight deck).
Personally I feel that this is somewhat lacking in a corvette sized vessel, I mean they could have included a 76mm Oto and VLS at least, perhaps a couple of Harpoons as well. With a crew of 76 (max/ mission including helo).
The height above water is also a concern,
Like a few vessels these day, there is far more above water than there is below, there are two advantages of this design though; 1. being a Trimaran the weight is spread out evenly over the supports thus top weight can be increased to a degree and 2. they have added another weight saving measure buy buildint the hull out of Aluminimum thus there is basically no top weigth to speak of really.
The disadvantages of this metal in the design is that it offers lkittle to no resistance to any sort of weapons fire. This is also a reason there are no missiles aboard (the booster flame would melt a hole in the deck).
My personal call is that this vessel would make a great Customs boat or perhaps even a good Coast Guard vessel but as for a serious navy vessel, perhaps in a low threat area maybe but not in a main stream, front line force.

It's a good thing you are short, that way you don't have to live up to a high IQ!
very nice
Question would be, is this really a corvette???? In the past, Corvettes generally seemed to have had two strong points, being ASW and ASuW, ASW and AAW or ASuW and AAW, this one doesn't seem to have any of it and seems to be just a Fast Troop Transport, much like the Malaysian Sri things you've shown us (with of course the difference that this one is much larger). I can hardly find any good point on this vessel certainly as it can only be used in waters with NO threat whatsoever... Aluminium is not the best of materials for any naval vessel.
For Coast Guard it could indeed be a good vessel, but then I would leave away all that transport capability and just add some real weapons (maybe in real metal containers to protect the rest of the vessel).
That huge hole in the stern so close to the water level is indeed a concern. All the accidents with RoRo vessel in rather recent times have proven that such configurations are far from safe (so this would limit her use to small sea states).
Concur absolutely with everything Neptune says.
Bet you the propulsion fits are all aimed at high endurance and modest speed outputs. This is an OPV and, novel and interesting as it is, its in a highly competetive market. I cant see for example what this vessel will offer that could compare to a Mexican Sierra Class and those vessels were not exactly hugely expensive or requiring state-of-the-art yards to license build in.
Dont see this one as a winner really I'm afraid Ja
Whoever designed the weapons for this must have also done the Armidales. I would like to see a Corvette or OPV in the RAN, but more heavily armed than this.

Best hope I can see for all the corvette crazies is a few mine hunter configured LCS's in the future and some of the alternative ASuW modules held in reserve.
Guys if you read my spiel carefully you can see that I too am not overly impressed with these vessels. I agree with Neptune about the Corvettes being strong in two areas of warfare, certainly all the Corvettes I have sdee have had this as a rule of thumb (Best example would be the RSN's Victory class:
This contraption I would say was developed by a designers child playing with their Lego blocks. Yes the person who included the weapons did also cover the Armidale's weapons fit as well. If I were looking at buying covettes for the RAN, these would be umong the last I'd consider!
It's a good thing you are short, that way you don't have to live up to a high IQ!
The Victories are appallingly top heavy, in any sort of slop they roll worse than a Adams class DDG.
I watched one making very uncomfortable way during a Kakadu exercise some years back, I was on a Fremantle, and while not exactly comfortable we were rolling and pitching far less than they were and making the same speed.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed,
the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
This is an interesting design, and given what many navies actually do (as compared to what some staff officers might aspire to do...) is an excellent proposal. For Policing the EEZ, law enforcement and anti-piracy, some support of ground operations and general patrol duties the weapons fit is probably adequate with space to upgrade and it should offer good operating costs meaning navies might be able to afford to actually keep the things at sea on station. Most of these super corvettes are actually being used in OPV style roles, don't actually need most of their weapons for the duties they perform and are hugely expensive considering their utilisation.
Though it would make a lot more sense spelled the other way, the company is actually called Austal is it not?
They are supposed to have offered a new build multi-hulled fast vessel for patrol duties recently as a quick fix solution .. is it feasible to get this new corvette design into play for this or more likely something based on a commercially derived catamaran design?
Do you know how Piracy has evolved nowadays? This thing can't handle pirate weapons anymore, a bunch of RPGs, Kalashnikovs and other weapons will turn this thing into cheese well before they can use that silly gun onboard. I'd rather opt for some heavier weapons. Pirates in one boat is another dream, they often come in seven or more boats, too many to be handled by the helo alone. Those guys are fighting for their lives, they know they can get death penalty and if they have to sink that silly aluminium thing to survive, they will most likely do so.This is an interesting design, and given what many navies actually do (as compared to what some staff officers might aspire to do...) is an excellent proposal.

If they would at least make the thing of metal, it would already help in those roles. (or just give it some armour.)
I'd also at least put a Bofors 40mm (or even better an OTO 76mm) on it, even if it is just for the looks. Pirates aren't that stupid, they know how to distinguish what they can and can't take.
I'm fully aware of modern piracy and have experience of it at the wrong end. Pirates may have small arms, they may have RPG's, but seldom anything more, and modern full on warships are seldom armoured, and why would you need Harpoon, Exocet MM40, VLS SAM capability, ASW torpedos etc. or any of the other fancy weapons of some of the super corvettes to combat piracy? Most pirate gangs run at the first sign of professional naval units, and whilst a 76mm OTO might be useful, very few pirate gangs will take on a helicopter or a naval vessel, and you don't need Harpoon or Excocet to sink a small boat with an outboard engine or converted fishing boat. Most piracy is crime of opportunity and deterrence is an effective weapon.
Okay, from the posts so far, we can work out what changes need to be made:
Gun - probably something a bit larger, at least 35mm (Millenium gun) or 57mm
SSM - a few Harpoon missiles, and perhaps a Netfires box or two
SAM - some RAM missiles, and perhaps an ESSM system, preferably quad-packed in Mk41s
ASW - ability to carry a couple of torpedoes, and perhaps a lightweight sonar
If you're gonna fit ASM and SAM capability, you'll need the radar and combat management equipment to make it effective, it'll cost a lot and the ship will grow in size and cost substantially, which will take the design far beyond what it is intended to be. There is a huge problem in most modern navies with rising costs and a lack of economical to build and operate Coastguard/Police type vessels.Originally Posted by EdLaw
I was thinking more in terms of a lightweight radar, nothing too advanced, perhaps even a simple Sea-RAM system (which uses the Phalanx units radar), and a small surveillance radar. Longer range targetting would probably have to come from a UAV, but that is not a bad thing. The basic problem is this - navies do not want ultra-cheap patrol craft (not very military), and coast guards are often low funding priorities, so cannot afford new ship like this one.
The niche this vessel is supposed to fill must be defined, and baby-LCS is probably not a bad option, and the most basic step would be to fit Netfires and Sea-RAM, at least giving some level of offensive/defensive capability. Add in something like the Bluefin-21, and you have at least some mine hunting capability (okay, not much, but some).
Correct on that one, Harpoon is indeed overkill, but some Poliphem or just some anti-tank missiles would do just fine. There has once been the idea to use some Sa'ar 5 craft outfitted with Polyphem wire-guided missiles and Phalanx for US Coast Guard.If you're gonna fit ASM and SAM capability, you'll need the radar and combat management equipment to make it effective, it'll cost a lot and the ship will grow in size and cost substantially, which will take the design far beyond what it is intended to be.

I thought that wasn't a bad idea at all (be it a bit expensive, but of course it's US).
I'd opt for Phalanx as a self-defence, it's ok to counter small surface craft too.
So all in all it would look like this:
-57 or 76mm gun
-Anti-tank missiles
Nothing too complicated nor overly expensive and still strong enough to take on smugglers, pirates and fishing boats.
btw, they aren't that scared of helicopters, once a Chinese fisherman threw a broom in a Helix's propellor, making it crash nearby. With an RPG and the idea of survival they might try to take it out after all.
Which end is the wrong one for you???I'm fully aware of modern piracy and have experience of it at the wrong end.
That is not 100% true. It depends what you call a "naval vessel", Pirates now depend a LOT on land support, they have people everywhere telling them what ships are in which condition etc. If they know this silly thing is coming after them, they'd probably not consider it a naval vessel and know what their chances would be against this. Of course most of them will indeed try to run, as they always do when you sound the alarm, but some of them are really hard headed (3 or 4 boarding attempts happened in more than one occasion).Most pirate gangs run at the first sign of professional naval units, and whilst a 76mm OTO might be useful, very few pirate gangs will take on a helicopter or a naval vessel, and you don't need Harpoon or Excocet to sink a small boat with an outboard engine or converted fishing boat.

I was on an oil rig boarded in Nigerian waters in 1999 (I think), not a very pleasant experience, they were just thugs with machetes, but still scary. Over the years I've taken a keen interest in the piracy problem, and when I was doing superintendency got all the commerical intelligence reports and assessments, the government reports plus the usual IMO and insurance society guidance, and on the whole the overwhelming majority of piracy is not well armed large gangs but small bands of thugs with small boats, and the large majority of them do everything they can to avoid contact with any sort of law enforcement agency, it is not just a question of whether they can take on a small OPV but also the knowledge that they are very much aware of the consequences if they try and destroy a Police, Coastguard or Naval vessel, they know full well that a frigate or destroyer would be on station with revenge on it's mind. Pirates tend to be into piracy as it's relatively safe and easy for them, ratchet up the inconvenience and threat of capture and there are other avenues for these people to practice their avarice, let's face it the vast majority of piracy attacks get little more than a few of the crews personal effects and some petty cash from the masters safe, hardly like robbing fort knox. In the Caribbean the drug smugglers are very well organised and heavily armed and RFA tankers often chase them down with the help of embarked RN helicopters.
About these ships, in most countries there is a very real need for economical Coastguard/Police type vessels for patrolling the EEZ etc. and they need a cheap to buy, cheap to operate vessel with decent sea keeping and enough clout to chase thieving fishing boats, smugglers etc. Not glamorous, not exotic and unlikely to make any great reputations but needed and required to fill an important role all the same. For decades the RN has operated OPV's with little more than a token armament, and USCG cutters aren't that heavily armed.
Nigerian pirates are indeed not so well armed and naval forces are mostly not in the area. That is also the reason why everyone is avoiding their terminals (I think they have 1 LNG terminal and some oil terminals). Same counts for Somalia, where there is no Navy except for US and NATO navies. Although there they do have RPGs as proven by the two or three RPGs that were fired against a cruise vessel this year.
In Malacca the story is different. They are well armed, and some even operate with helicopters from ships themselves (state support???). Last year they even fired a rocket against a tanker when they had difficulties to board. Piracy is a true occupation there, after the Tsunami they seemed to have been washed away, but it only took them a few months to recover. Everytime I pass that Strait, I see those messages of stolen tugs and crew put overboard etc. I don't think they steal them because I'm coming, so that must happen quite a few times... In Malacca it's quite ok to have what the Singapore Navy is using, true FACs (and most of the time they don't carry their Harpoons).
And you don't need hummer trucks to patrol your EEZ, so getting rid of that deck/replace it with more usefull things, would be a good option.
Even around the Indonesian archipelago most piracy is bands of opportunists looking for easy targets who avoid law enforcement if at all possible. I spent years out there off Indonesia and East Timor managing semi-subs and organising supply boats, anchor handlers etc. and although we had big problems with piracy we never had anything that the presence of a patrol boat didn't stop. And I've seen the internal company reports on the problems in the region (the company I worked for was one of the worlds biggest ship operators, one of the few that you could say is well known outside shipping circles) and their reports wanted OPV's and coastguard vessels, not battleships.
Didnt USS Stark have a aluminium superstructure, it survived a direct hit by a exocet did it not?they have added another weight saving measure buy buildint the hull out of Aluminimum thus there is basically no top weigth to speak of really.
The disadvantages of this metal in the design is that it offers lkittle to no resistance to any sort of weapons fire. This is also a reason there are no missiles aboard (the booster flame would melt a hole in the deck).
An inert one yes. Well actually it didn't, the missile went straight through. Practically it doesn't protect well and the biggest problem is when it catches fire. It doesn't easily do so, but once it's getting warm enough, it does and then it's big big big trouble to get it extinguished.
I'd swap those Humvees for some Expeditionary Fighting Vehicles
Yes, well actually AP Moller, the parent of MaerskOriginally Posted by Neptune
I would think if you where taking chasing down pirates and actually wanted to catch them out then you wouldnt go steaming up and down the coast in anything painted grey, they would just avoid it.. even a 25mm cannon that is radar or even optically guided would make short work of several converted powerboats before that could cause any real harm. I would think that the best way to nail pirates it to obviously make urself look like a big fat target..
Think of a medium sized yacht, the typical playtoy of millionares world wide, cruising through the malacas straight. Looking very much like a floating bank vault thats been left open. Problem for the pirates is that its not manned by stockbrokers and politicians sons but in fact it is staffed with sailors and marines (or the Aussie SAS :diablo: ), The pirates approach thinking its payday and at less than 50 meters all hell breaks loose from small arms, squad machineguns and rocket launchers... as well as air support.
Why noone has done this before really leaves me wondering
Here are the basic specs. for the Austal MRC as per their brochure.
Length oa 72m
Sprint speed 35knots
Range 3000nm [This would be at a much reduced speed]
Deadweight 250 tons
Mission deck 499m2
Flight deck H60
This ship in my opinion could not take much more topweight in any form & I would think it would not carry much payload over 3000nm if the specs. for the Incat Catamaran are any thing to go by.Anyhow where would an Australian Corvette be carrying a small cargo of trucks or jeeps. But I still like the Austal & Incat inovative attempts to produce different approaches to naval vessels
SteveO, yes they look good don't they, if only the government would let the royal marines have a few to go in the new amphibious fleet

If this proposal is looked at as a large multi-role patrol vessel for Police/Coastguard duties with a limited sealift role for minor ferrying ops then I think it is a very promising concept.
Tiddles: mate how about initial disaster relief efforts? one of these MRC's could be on station inside a couple of days with a follow up force of the LHD's and the right equipment (as opposed to the general stores shipped currently)- this would have the advantage of effiency and productivity rather than comeing back home with store left over that were not needed.Anyhow where would an Australian Corvette be carrying a small cargo of trucks or jeeps.
I do see a place for these ships in any major Blue Water fleet, even to some degree a Green Water fleet, but they most definately do need something bigger on them in terms of eapon systems.
It's a good thing you are short, that way you don't have to live up to a high IQ!
They would make great (and expensive ) alternatives to the Rigid Raiders and maybe the LCVPs too. Arm them with a cannon, some missiles and a mortar and you've got a really useful asset.Originally Posted by Super Nimrod
Depressingly, I doubt the MOD would get any even if they were being given away free, it seems procurement is all about having meetings rather than actually buying anything
Carrying a few amphibious vehicles on any type of naval surface vessel is a good idea in my opinion, it would be great to see some amphibious engineer vehicles being put ashore when a warship turns up to a disaster zone. It would be fun watching a EFV chasing pirates or smugglers up the beach too :diablo:

We talked a lot almost all day. She then said we don't need to talk every second. What should I do.
How much should I text her?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 2
She seems as if she is pulling away.
I would message her every 3 days and leave her to initiate
a majority of the contact.
Her response doesn't seem as if she is 100% interested in you.
That her she is turned off by the fact that she sees no need
for you to communicate so frequently when you aren't even in a relationship.
Pull back a little bit...and allow her to pull in.00|00|0
That means you guys are talking wayyyyy too much. I would pull back and try every two days and see what happens. I also don't find it necessary to talk A LOT every single day. I have no idea how long you guys have been seeing each other,but just know that everyone is different. Some people like a lot of contact,some don't. Just cut it back a bit...00|00|0
If she says she wants to see you again,obviously she is interested.
You're seriously over thinking everything. Reread my response,there's your answer. Good luck.

Quality is amazing! Will be in constant use in our house!
So how did we get here exactly?
I'll give you the story in a nutshell.
I grew up a military brat. (Dad served 20 years - I am very proud of him!)
Richard grew up in Texas (no previous military affiliation except for a wonderfully sweet Grandpa that I never got to meet.)
*Few know this about my husband, but he has a very large tattoo on his ribs that is a tribute to his beloved Grandfather. Very sexy:)
So As richard is preparing to join the military, I am moving from Panama. (Where I was attending FSU.) I temporarily move back to Schweinfurt, Germany. And then move to Charleston, SC. a few months later.
So Richard joins the Navy. Guess where his first training command is!
- - We meet. And oh man, Sparks fly like the fourth of July!
We are married 3 months later! We welcome our beautiful son. Our daughter follows quick after! Our children are growing more and more each day and we live for them! We give our entire day for them, but the nights are ours!
We lay them down, and stay in the studio into the early hours of the morning! Having a place to get away and be creative means the world to us! On any given night you can find us playing with clay, listening to music and dancing our nights away.
Please know that all of our work is carefully and lovingly made! We are not only advocates of creating handmade items, but purchasing handmade items as well. Our kitchen cabinets are full of our favorite potters from all over the country!
