  greencheese   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Originally known as Fairey Project 7, Green Cheese was developed in the 1950s to OR.1123 and intended for use mainly on Buccaneers.
This was a particular problem with the Gannet as Green Cheese required a mechanism to lower the weapon, whereas the Buccaneer had a rotating bombay.
Green Cheese showed promise, but was essentially scuppered by cost over-runs and weight, being cancelled in 1956.

  Sea Slug missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sea Slug was a first generation surface-to-air missile designed by Armstrong Whitworth (later part of the Hawker Siddeley group) for use by the Royal Navy.
The booster motors were positioned at the front of the missile, but this unusual arrangement gave acceleration and, with the motor nozzles angled outwards at 45°, the missile entered a gentle roll at launch evening out differences in the thrusts of the boosters.
The magazine was positioned amidships and missiles were assembled in a central gallery forward of the magazine before being passed to the launcher on the quarterdeck.

 Air-to-surface missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An air-to-surface missile (also, air-to-ground missile, ASM or AGM) is a missile designed to be launched from military aircraft (bombers, attack aircraft, fighter aircraft or other kinds) and strike ground targets on land, at sea, or both.
One of the major advantages of air-to-surface missiles over other weapons available for aircraft to use to attack ground targets is the standoff distance they provide.
Most air-to-surface missiles are fire-and-forget in order to take most advantage of the standoff distance - they allow the launching platform to turn away after launch.

 The sweet side of bitter greens - Los Angeles Times
These greens are loved for their bitter bite, but harnessing that bite — say, by adding the spice of chiles or the sweetness of bacon or by giving them a quick blanch or even just a sauté — is what makes them sing.
And at this time of year, bitter greens are calling from nearly every other stall or stand at the farmers market or the grocery store; they're a boon of winter.
Greens in the chicory and endive family include Belgian endive (also called French endive and witloof), curly endive (sometimes called chicory or frisée), escarole and several varieties of radicchio.

 Green Chiles | Gourmet Details | ArborFood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The Words "Green Chile" are used in New Mexico to refer to a multitude of related, but never the less distinctive, variations on a chile theme.
You just have to kind of intuit which "green chile" is being referred to by the context in which it comes up.
So despite the traditional New Mexican linguistic, green chile ambiguity, for the purposes of our current conversation, let's just assume that when I say "green chile" I'm talking about the roasted peppers themselves - fresh green chile peppers which have been roasted over an open flame until their skins are charred and blistered.

 BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Bacteria help make missile fuel
Butanetriol is used to make another chemical called butanetriol trinitrate (BTTN) which is employed in the fuel mix of missiles such as the Hellfire, an air-to-ground attack missile fired from military helicopters such as the Apache and unmanned Predator drones.
If the costs of producing butanetriol could be reduced to $10 (£5) or $15 (£8) per pound, demand from the two armed forces could rise to 180,000 pounds (82,000 kg) per year, replacing nitroglycerine in many military and civilian applications.
The butanetriol is then nitrated to produce BTTN, which allows the missile rocket's propellant mix to burn more evenly, similar to the way that some cigarette paper is treated.
