Competitors got much larger contracts than FRPT people thought they would.
I did get out with one of my testicles still attached though, Thank God!
Nope, totally bought into the hype early, and since I was out of "country" for a time, didn't feel the need to follow as closely as I ALWAYS DID! After all , FRPT was saving lives and limbs, and was going to replace HUMVEE dontcha know. Damn left "beaucou" money on the table on this one.
Remember the other day I was thanking you for saving my year??? Friggin' FRPT was why.
There is one little "stickler" out there:
InsideDefense (subscription), DC - 8 minutes ago
14 approved a plan to award one or two vendors contracts for a half-dozen prototype MRAP II trucks, a decision that could be announced as soon as this evening.
Don't believe there were any MRAP II prototype contracts "YET"
So who knows.
Harbs, I'd be very careful here. There is way more behind this then meets the "eye". Someone/thing won't be happy 'til this is in the 2.00's
IMHO

Now it's Fake Bottled Water
Jodi Xu writes:
This morning, I heard the news that half of Beijing’s bottled water is counterfeit. I was horrified. It seems that illegal factories fill the used plastic bottles from the tap or with perfunctorily filtered water. The bottle tops and tape that they use to seal the bottle look identical to the genuine ones. The bottles aren’t sterilized and the number of mold fungi and e. coli bacteria that have been found in such water can easily make drinkers sick. An industry report quoted by Beijing Times calculates that more than 100 million bottles of such water were sold last year. The profit derived from these illegal sales exceeded 1 billion RMB, or about $12 million.
As a Chinese, I am used to reading about dangerous fakes. But this case really enraged me. This is water that many of us drink every day, after all. And the whole reason people pay extra for bottled water is for the quality—and safety. The Beijing Times did a story a couple of days ago that revealed the illegal business has been going on for five years. One unlicensed water bottler told the newspaper: “I filter the tap water before filling the bottle because I am a moral person and I don’t want to get people sick.”
When I read that I myself felt sick --- with anger. I also asked myself where are the government and regulatory authorities who are supposed to be protecting us. The rampancy of fake water comes down to the inability of the government in China to enforce its own laws. In this case, red tape is usually blamed. The local officials with responsibility for preventing counterfeiting have no legal power to search an illegal bottler’s factory, it is said.
How much longer can Beijingers put up with these kind of mealy-mouthed bureaucratic excuses? Maybe, like everything else in this city, we should look to the Olympics for salvation. After all, if this issue isn’t tackled soon, athletes and visitors around the world might show up for Olympics next year carrying their own water and food.[b/]

SANTA ANA, CA, Nov 13, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Omninet Media.Com, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: ONMC), soon to be AQUAGOLD International, Inc., today releases Manuel DaSilva's (CEO AQUAGOLD International Inc.) statement to shareholders.
Attention ONMC/AQUAGOLD shareholders,
I would like to take this opportunity to update you on AQUAGOLD's current state of affairs and the direction that has been chosen for our present and future endeavours here in China. I have been in China for half a year establishing the groundwork for our AQUAGOLD brand of spring water to enter the Chinese market (details of which have been reported to you via previous press releases). It has been my vision for several years to establish an entrance strategy in partnership with my Chinese counterparts. These relationships have been developed in previous personal and business exchanges spanning the last decade.
My team and I have studied the demands of this rapidly growing market for the last several years and have conceived a business model that would harmonize this growing demand in China to our supply in Canada. I have been conscious throughout this process that AQUAGOLD's success would necessarily be achieved through collaboration between our two countries and through education and promotion of our product in the appropriate spheres of influence and channels of communication here in China. The same way that China needed education concerning the quality of our product, we needed an open mindedness in regards to the business model that we would develop and adopt.
It is no secret that China is a huge country of extreme diversity, rich cultural tradition and heritage. I entered this country over six months ago to dedicate my time in Beijing, Shanghai Dalian and other areas of demographic importance to understanding the ways of business guided by my Chinese associates. Our group here in China has opened the doors to business leaders and government officials of all rank in order to develop awareness and begin promotion of AQUAGOLD spring water products. AQUAGOLD is now recognized here in China as the best quality water that money can buy and we will continue to educate and promote through the diverse marketing activities currently underway.
This being said I have also been aware of the fact that mass marketing and promotion will be an elemental part of making AQUAGOLD a household name in a market formerly dominated by French companies, some of which have had disastrous difficulties in the last year. The stage is now set for AQUAGOLD to launch all phases of our game plan as we kick off with the FHC trade show here in Shanghai this week. To this effect my Canadian team has joined me in Shanghai to lend support for this major event and we are presently relocating members of our executive team to China. I will be providing you with details pertaining to our contracts and logistics setup here in China very shortly as well as requested information regarding the progress of our public company.
Once again, I would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the diverse groups that have supported us over the years, a special thanks to my immediate teams that have shown the resilience necessary to make all this possible.
Sincerely
Manuel Da Silva
President & C.E.O.

China and the rest of Asia but also through growing market share in each of these markets with a huge opportunity coming when the Chinese Capital City of Beijing will be hosting the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
