Pushing Daewoo International Toward New Direction
South Korea is engaged in a sustained drive to buy up foreign natural resources, ranging from rare earths to oil fields, to supplement its meager domestic fuel reserves, secure supplies of key feedstocks for industry and piggyback on the commodities supercycle. One relatively new player is Daewoo International Corp., South Korea's largest trading company, which is expanding its business to include energy and commodities asset development. Its biggest project so far is a $1.7 billion gas field in Myanmar set to initiate production in 2013.
Lee Dong-hee was appointed chief executive officer of Daewoo International, formerly part of the now defunct Daewoo conglomerate, after his former employer steelmaker Posco took over the company last year. Mr. Lee's goal is to build up the company's core trading operations while also securing natural resources assets as Daewoo International seeks fatter profit margins and broader global business opportunities for the Posco group.
- Education: Bachelor's degree in business from Korea University (1977)
- Career: Joined Posco in 1977 and has been with the company since; he served as chief financial officer for Posco during the 2006-2010 period. Appointed chief executive officer for Daewoo International in 2010.
- Habit: Sends an email to his entire staff on a weekly basis to share interesting anecdotes, experiences from outside the company to better communicate with his employees.
- Extracurricular: Loves reading books
- Read More Managing in Asia Interviews.
Mr. Lee, formerly chief financial officer at Posco, spoke with Min-Jeong Lee in Seoul about the challenges of driving the company in a new direction. The following interview has been edited.
WSJ: What's the first step in making the move into resources development?
Mr. Lee: A company-wide psychological change is needed. I have to inspire our staff to be more aggressive. I have to bring out the wild in them to better cope with bigger projects. We have to shift from focusing on simply selling products overseas to concentrating on how we can cooperate with affiliate companies and work like one big fleet of ships in exploring overseas resources. Projects under review in partnership with Posco include investing in a rare earths development project in Canada and a soft coal project in Australia. Daewoo and Posco are also a part of a Korea-Russia-Japan consortium that has been short-listed as one of the six teams bidding for the massive Tavan Tolgoi coal mine in Mongolia.
WSJ: It's a big change for the company. What makes you think you'll succeed?
Mr. Lee: Daewoo International has a lot of experience in doing business overseas. Working within South Korea is like working in daylight, while going abroad is like working at night. Our company will be like a guide for the Posco family. Daewoo International can't afford to participate in projects that require a lot of money. But Posco can. Posco has a lot of money, huge money. In partnership, we can together explore a number of projects, with Posco as the army and Daewoo International as the air force. We're currently reviewing 44 overseas projects that we could take part in, and we expect to be able to finalize around 20% of those.
WSJ: Daewoo International pulled out of the bid for Australia's Whitehaven Coal Ltd., valued at around 3.5 billion Australian dollars, earlier this year. Why, and what did you learn from that experience?
Mr. Lee: It was too big of an investment for us and we weren't the main company running the bid in the Korean consortium. (The Korean bid, valued at around 3.5 billion Australian dollars, was led by state-owned Korea Resources Corp.) We now plan to either take small portions of big projects in cooperation with Posco affiliates, or take a big role in small projects with a size of about $200 million to $300 million. We're particularly interested in emerging countries where raw materials could be explored. So Africa is an attractive destination. Daewoo is already considering stake purchases in copper mines in Congo and Kazakhstan, as well as a tin mine in Cameroon
WSJ: China is also hungry for natural resources. How do you compete against Chinese companies and is the expected strengthening of the yuan a problem?
Mr. Lee: Yes, quite a problem. A stronger yuan gives Chinese companies more buying power in securing overseas natural resources projects. Everybody is pressuring China to let the yuan appreciate more and as long as their currency is strong, China will put more money in investing overseas. But in Africa, for example, we'll provide more credit and more trust. Korea still stands as a successful model of economic development for developing countries and we want to take part in bringing that into Africa. A stronger yuan also has a bright side. It'll help Daewoo International's export business to China be more competitive.
WSJ: What about other currency fluctuations? The won is in an uptrend, which must be a concern as 98% of Daewoo's current business comes from exports.
Mr. Lee: The current dollar/won levels are very reasonable and we'll enjoy the profit it provides for now. And for when the won strengthens, we'll aim to enter different markets and handle different products. We use natural hedging by trying to match our foreign liabilities to our assets. One option we have is to increase our business in selling auto parts to Japan following supply disruptions after the March 11 disasters there.
WSJ: What will happen to your trading business, will you be winding it down to focus more on resource development?
Mr. Lee: Not quite. We're keeping our trading business. Our revenue target is KRW65 trillion for 2020, compared with around KRW15 trillion last year. We're anticipating a large portion of KRW60 trillion to be still generated from our trading business, with KRW5 trillion from resource development projects. So it's going to be a broad-based expansion for Daewoo International, with a stretch added towards resource development, which will be highly profitable for the company.

With complete, but unofficial, results tallied in Meridian, Cheri Barry leads Percy Bland in the mayor's race.
In the initial report from city hall, Barry had a 114-vote lead. However, Newscenter 11 learned later that total did not include roughly 600 absentee ballots.
With those votes included in the count, Barry's lead over Bland increased to a 4,866 to 4,562 margin.
In the Ward 3 city council race, incumbent Barbara Henson leads Randle Jennings 856 to 758 votes, and apparently wins her reelection bid.
The Ward 5 council race also changed with the absentee ballots included.
Challenger Bobby Smith leads incumbent John Harris by a margin of 799 votes to 758 votes.
The results will not be official until they are certified by the Meridian Election Commission.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I had my social security benifits on direct deposit to a pre-paid debit Mastercard that was deposited into Centennial Bank by the Social Security Administration. I went to prison in October 2007, but the direct deposit began on November 2007, and continued until October 2008. The bank returned the benifit check payment of October 2008 to Social Security Administration. Furthermore, the bank in question is refusing to assist me in the location of 10 months of benifits that were paid to my account. Thier position is that, in fact, the account is a Wired plastic account. However, Wired plastic claims it is not. In the reality I have lost 10 months of benifits that I must repay the Social Security Administration, almost $8,000. I need help, but do not know where to begin. If anyone has a any input please do so. Thank you.

SUBMITTED: Monday, August 17, 2009POSTED: Monday, August 17, 2009
I would file for a reconsideration request stating that you did not receive the benefits, and did not use any of the benefits, and can not afford to pay it back. Also I would contact the Owner of Wired Plastic, as I am a card holder and have been since 2004. His information is:
T Clay Wilkes d/b/a Wired Plastic 6550 S Millrock Dr, Suite 100 Salt Lake City, UT 84121
My advise, contact him with a demand for the money, and follow through with a lawsuit, as because he is doing business as Wired Plastic, what his company does, his personal assets can be attached and sold off for paying you.
Also, I believe you can have Wired Plastic investigated by the Attorney General's Office and the Social Security Adminsitration's Office of Inspector General.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

"As a designer of sound units and amplifiers in the 1970s, this German artist (Nik Tyndall) made a natural progression into composing for electronic instruments at the end of the decade when he formed the avant-garde duo Tycoon with Rudolf Lager. In the mid-'80s, he struck out on his own and released a number of recordings on the German Sky label, in addition to composing soundtracks for film and television. His style combines primarily lush environmental soundscapes with the delicate percussive textures of bamboo, gongs, and windchimes." – Linda Kohanov, All Music Guide

They said I need to send 21.99 for processing within 14 days.I sent check and still have heard nothing...1 month has passed...
My daughter went on line to check them out and the computer brought her right to this website!!! So that is more than likely because they are bogus...
On the website there was a long story from another unhappy person in sort of the same situation (older, with medical problems,money problems, etc)who received the exact same letter with the exact same information...
I am continually receiving letters of these sort from all different "Winnings Notification " places..Would really like to know a website especially set up for this type of situation so that as soon as I get one I can go on computer and check it out and know whether to follow it up or shred it up.
This is so sad that when you are down and out and you get mail like this and dont know whether you can trust it or not (as this is not the first time this type of thing has happened to me).
Would like to at least get money back that I sent for the so-called "Processing" and postage...

The Swede was four shots ahead after a second-round 65 put him on 13 under. He lies four shots clear of compatriot Magnus Carlsson, with first-round leader Merrick Bremner also on nine under but with four holes left of his second round.
The second round will resume at 7.30am local time on Saturday, with those yet to complete their 18 holes returning to the markers laid when play was called off at around 5pm local time.
Round three will be a two-tee start no earlier than 10.30am.
Stenson teed off on the 10th after a lightning scare saw players called off early in the round. A slow start moved into a superb round, with a pair of birdies in the back nine adding to a remarkable eagle at the eighth.
"It didn't feel 100% on the range this morning," six-times European Tour winner Stenson admitted. "It was a little bit of a trembling start, I made five pars so nothing great the first couple of holes.
"But I made a nice putt on 15, hit two good shots on 16 just short of the green and up and downed that one.
"I hit a great drive on 17 again, and made a nice 10-footer for birdie. So that kind of jump-started my day with those three birdies."

Joseph Henry Delaney (born 25 July 1945) is a British author of science fiction and fantasy books.
Life and career[edit]
Delaney was born in 1945 in Preston, Lancashire. He attended Preston Catholic College and then worked as an apprentice engineer and fitter. He studied A levels at night school before beginning his degree course at Lancaster University in 1972. Following graduation he eventually became an English teacher at the Blackpool Sixth Form College, where he helped start the Media and Film Studies Department.[2][1]
His first works were written under the pseudonym J. K. Haderack. Beginning with the publication of the first book of The Wardstone Chronicles in 2004, published under his real name, Delaney achieved international success chronicling the adventures of his lead character, Thomas Ward. The Wardstone Chronicles are published in 25 countries, and sales have exceeded a million copies.[3]
Delaney retired from teaching following publication of the second of the Wardstone books and now writes full-time.[1] He identifies J.R.R. Tolkien and Frank Herbert as two authors who were his biggest inspirations.[4]
He has three children and nine grandchildren.[5]
Delaney shares the same name (including middle name) with the late Joseph H. Delaney, an American science fiction author of several books and short stories.
The Wardstone Chronicles[edit]
The Wardstone Chronicles (published in America as The Last Apprentice) follow Tom Ward, the seventh son of a seventh son, on his adventures as apprentice to John Gregory, the local "Spook" or master fighter of supernatural evil. John is the Spook for "the County" and gives Tom practical instruction on tackling ghosts, ghasts, witches, boggarts, and all manner of other things that serve "The Dark". Tom soon discovers that most of his predecessors have failed for various reasons - including death. As the Chronicles progress the focus expands to other characters such as the assassin Grimalkin and the young witch Alice Dean; overall the series develops the plot line of Tom being destined to either save the world or destroy it.
"The County" referred to in the Chronicles is based on Lancashire in the north west of England. Several of the locations mentioned in the books are thinly-veiled versions of actual places; Priestown is the author's hometown of Preston, Caster is Lancaster, Black Pool is Blackpool, and Chipenden is Chipping.[1]

The Starblade Chronicles[edit]
The Starblade Chronicles are a planned trilogy following the continued adventures of Tom Ward, who has finished his apprenticeship and is now a Spook in his own right dedicated to fighting an unparalleled evil threatening the County, and the world. However, unlike past Spooks, Tom is only seventeen, and he is met with doubt and distrust by many in the County owing to his age. Complicating matters is his interactions with Jenny; the fifteen-year-old girl who seeks to be his apprentice, notwithstanding that women have never been Spooks before.

Tested by Capt. Bob Smith
Design and Construction
Princecraft boats are built across the border in Princeville Quebec, Canada. They are aluminum boats, which believe me; you have to look hard at the boat in the water to believe that. The Super Pro does have some square lines at the gunwales, but otherwise, above the water line, she looks like most any fiberglass fishing boat you see. The high gloss Acrythane finish is so smooth and shiny, it appears to be fiberglass to the untrained eye, especially from a distance.
Princecraft uses techniques that eliminate most of the welding and riveting you are used to seeing when you look at many aluminum boats and are not the boxy looking boats you saw years ago. Princecraft packs in most of the features you will need for a great day of fun on the water and leave only five factory installed options and nine dealer installed options to choose and personalize your craft.
Up in the bow, you have space to place two pedestal seats and to attach a trolling motor. A 24-volt deluxe trolling motor panel with Marinco plug and receptacle, voltmeter, tilt switch and wiring harness are also standard fishing features here in the bow. Bow seat cushions can be removed for a true fishing trip and an insert is pulled from the floor and placed between the seats to create a bow-wide casting platform. Deep cycle battery storage is up here for the trolling equipment as well as an ice chest and live well. The walk-through windshield is a full curved unit like a ski boat and is high enough I didn't have to look down to see under the top.
At the Helm
The helm station has a deluxe molded dash with MaGill rocker switches, Faria gauges and wood accents. A great fishing feature was the standard Lowrance X-51 fish finder mounted at the helm. This boat had the factory upgrade hydraulic steering with tilt wheel. My test boat also had the upgraded captain's chair that had plush padding, adjustable seat with swing up armrests, adjustable headrest and adjustable back. My one complaint with this boat was the upgrade seat required you to reach under the right armrest to crank the engine, and the throttle control could not go fully into reverse with the right armrest deployed.
Across from the helm was a companion station like you would expect on a ski boat. The port side features side pockets on the port has rod holders and on the starboard room for some other longer items. This boat also had the factory option upgrade exchange sleeper seat on the companion side. If you're mostly going to fish with this one you probably would stick with the standard arrangement of three folding pedestal seats, which have six locations within the hull for use. Gunwale tops are wide for easy boarding and also wide and strong enough to add downrigger gear to them.
Fishy Features
A really sweet feature on this model is the ability to quickly change the layout from a ski boat to a fishing boat in the stern area. The bench seat back here can be folded down and tucked under itself to convert the stern area into a nice fishing platform. The stern platform also sports the larger livewell that also has timed-aeration, recirculation, remote through hull drain and anti-spill cover.
The Super Pro glided across the water when at cruise. Except for some stiffness in the strong winds, the hydraulic steering was responsive and easy to use. She takes wide turns at speed, but if you try to tighten them up too much, you are going to lose the bite you need for speed. She is quick out of the hole and has the pick up to get you over you favorite fishing spot or to get your skier up and doing tricks fast. Her reversed chine design and deep Vee gave us a dry ride, even when we were tossing a lot of spray.
This model is 18 feet, 4 inches on center and has a 7 foot, 10 inch beam. With the drive unit down, you need about 31 inches of room under the hull and she weighs in at about 1,385lbs. She can carry up to 60 gallons for fuel and support power plants up to 175hp. This test boat had a 150hp Mercury Optimax Outboard installed with a Laser II 21 Pitch Stainless Steel prop. Hole shot performance was under 3 seconds and she could reach 30mph in just over six seconds, even in rough water. At 3000 rpms she cruised at about 25mph and at top end she was turning 5150 rpms and over 50 mph.
If you are a fisherman with an itch to do some other water sports but don't want to spend the money for specialized boats for each sport, the Super Pro 186 Platinum from Princecraft offers the best of both worlds in one easy package.

Skip to comments.Setback for sales of cargo version of giant Airbus
Posted on 06/03/2006 11:12:41 AM PDT by Paleo Conservative
Dusseldorf, Germany - European plane-maker Airbus has suffered a setback in sales of the cargo version of its giant A380 plane, with the airline Emirates dropping two from its order, a German magazine said on Friday.
In Paris, Airbus confirmed the Dubai-based airline had cancelled orders for two such A380F jets, but said Emirates had ordered two passenger versions of the huge double-deck aircraft instead.
Airbus said this meant Emirates, the biggest customer for the huge jet, would still be buying 45 of the new planes.
The magazine, Wirtschaftswoche, quoted the European manager of Emirates, Keith Longstaff, as saying there was lack of clarity in the "technical data" for the cargo version, and adding, "We want to see first how the plane turns out."
Airbus has booked just 25 orders for the cargo version, with the first delivery, to Fed Ex of the United States, set for early 2009, the magazine said. The passenger version is set to enter service later this year.
Boeing aims to bring a new cargo version of its jumbo, the 747-8F, onto the market half a year after the A380F.
The magazine said aerospace experts were beginning to doubt if Airbus would ever recover through sales the hundreds of millions of euros it has additionally spent on developing the freight version of the A380.
Although the plane would be the world's biggest air-cargo jet, airlines are wary of its high cost.
The planemaker is already under pressure from customers on another front, with demands to revamp its planned A350, a smaller twin- engined plane set to go on sale in 2010. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner has outsold the A350 three-to-one.
If you want on or off my aerospace ping list, please contact me by Freep mail.
Do the Emerates just buy everything? It seems like they have hge Boeing orders, huge Airbus orders and an order for a bazillion cups of lemonade from the kid around the corner's lemonade stand.
"Technical Data"? We all know what that means, don't we.
The only thing still unknown is the weight. If the aircraft comes in over weight, that excess weight comes right off the top of payload. And payload is what matters in air frieght.
Sure, Airbus has the cubes, but they are going to be limited to delivering the World's Largest Orders of Packing Peanuts if things keep on going the way they are going.
The magazine said aerospace experts were beginning to doubt if Airbus would ever recover through sales the hundreds of millions of euros it has additionally spent on developing the freight version of the A380.
As if Airbus gives a damn. They'll just bill the overrun to the taxpayers of the European Union. It's not like they have to make money, or anything. They're not going to break even on the passenger version, either, as if that mattered...
Although the plane would be the worlds biggest air-cargo jet, airlines are wary of its high cost.
The political objective of this aircraft has achieved because now Airbus can claim to have "The World's Biggest Air-Cargo Jet", just as they can claim to have the World's Biggest Jetliner. That was the purpose of the A380 project from the git-go. All the design work and financial analysis followed to bring about the pre-conceived political goal.
When it comes to payload, performance, proven reliability and cost of operation, I don't think Boeing's going to have anything to worry about from the great white elephant.
That wasn't an Airbus product.
We can't have Boeing bidding against a bunch of European cheats.
So you favor no-bid contracts to the American cheats? Boeing deserves the hit for what they did on the Tanker project.
The A380 is Muslim terrorist bait. What are they thinking? Are nuclear power plants built to handle a direct hit by a fully fueled and loaded A380?
Thou speakest a hunk of wisdom there, neighbor.
The EADS tanker would be built by BBQ-eatin, beer drinkin, bass fishin, pickup truck drivin NASCAR fans right here in the USA.
Landing The Tanker: When the South goes courting, it often wins Boeing's biggest competitor is welcomed with open arms
There's nothing more all-American than a (EADS) cowboy
There are a couple more on the this P.I. Business page. Sroll to June 1 articles.
That wasn't an Airbus product.
It was a precursor to Airbus. The French part of the partnership were one of the founders of Airbus. Airbus also built the spare parts for the 16 Concordes that were built.
So would you consider the DC-8 to be a Boeing product?
Sometimes it just doesn't do a damn bit of good to be "The World's Biggest..."
Boeing considers the Boeing 717 to be a Boeing product, not a McDonnell Douglas MD-95.
........Are nuclear power plants built to handle a direct hit by a fully fueled and loaded A380?......
You have it all wrong. They are not going to use an airplane. They are going to use a 40' high cube container. The American public has already decided the issue.
Be that as it may, I think the trials of the builders of the Concord(e) and Airbus with the A380 are similar and stem from the same source.
The Concord(e) was a marvelous product that had no market. Furthermore, this was predictable before the first rivet was set. The decision to develop and build the Concord(e) was based on a political decision to build a SST, and the financial and market analysis had nothing to do with it, because the European governments could always be counted on to cover the losses.
American companies do not have that luxury. Sure, they make a bad decision from time to time, but the errors are usually of improper analysis, not of ignoring analysis.
I see a similar scenario developing for the A380. This aircraft is too large for most routes and will have a very hard time earning customer acceptance. Furthermore, the weight issues may make the fuel and/or payload unacceptably small, particularly for the cargo variant. But things like payload, range and consumer acceptance simply don't matter, because the objective was to build the largest airliner in the World, and that objective has been achieved. If the thing never earns a dime, that is no problem, because the manufacturer can just soak the European taxpayer for the loss.
I can agree with all those observations.
You could probably fit all the Dixie Chicks in one of those.
your right, they will be too busy with their own white elephant, the 747-800.
Boeing treats the entire McDD product line as though it was their own. For example most airlines refer to the MD-80 as the Boeing MD-80 now etc, etc.
If airlines want to continue growth on valuable international routes like London, Frankfurt, Tokyo etc. they will need larger planes.
There are routes today where a 747 just isn't big enough and they will grow over time.
Ah, but with the 787, you can avoid the high traffic, bursting at the gills hub-and-spoke routes, and aim at distributing the load more. For example, instead of Atlanta-New York-Frankfort-Munich, you can go Atlanta-Munich. That saves fuel, landing slots, and a whole lot of passenger time.
Not when London or Frankfurt is the actual destination!
Are you sure including Natalie wouldn't exceed maximum takeoff weight?
Have you really ever heard ANYONE refer to a "Boeing DC-8?" If so, did you laugh in their face? I would.
How about an Airbus Caravelle or an Airbus BAC-1-11? Makes as much sense as an "Airbus Concorde" which is where this discussion started.
I thought describing the MD-95 as the 717 was sacrilegious enough!

Does it exist to game Google search results and generate revenue through Google's AdWords advertising service by displaying contextual ads next to the copy? Or is it a new kind of media site, chock-full of original articles written mostly by average folk about everything from presidential pardons and karaoke to smoker's guilt and ventriloquism?
Add to the mix at Associated Content two prominent board members--Tim Armstrong, head of advertising for Google in North America, and venture capitalist Eric Hippeau, a managing partner at SoftBank Capital, who also happens to serve on Yahoo's board of directors--and you have a little company that's drawing outsized and quite possibly unwanted attention.
But while there are plenty of questions about this start-up, no one seems to be able to say it's actually doing anything wrong.
"This kind of service is not entirely clear-cut," said Danny Sullivan, editor of the Search Engine Land blog. "It's not a case that they are bad or should be banned, but they are embroiled in this kind of a debate."
Denver-based Associated Content was formed in 2004 and received $5.4 million in funding from SoftBank. It bills itself as a "user-driven information portal" and content provider, licensing content to other online publishers. The articles are "optimized for discovery and revenue generation," according to a news release on the company Web site. In other words, they're designed to be easy to find on Google through various search optimization techniques used by many publishers, not just people accused of gaming search results.
The company asks bloggers to write on the subjects of their choosing and accepts text, video and audio. Contributors can be paid based on the quality of the article and keyword optimization.
In most ways, Associated Content's methods seem fitting for any typical Web site--do your best to get play on Google search results and make money off its advertising. In fact, Associated Content is hardly the only company churning out content to match with Google ads. The success of Google's AdSense program, which matches ads with content on Web sites, and the growth of blogging applications have led to the emergence of pay-for-blogging companies that help match willing writers with sites that want content.
Editor, Search Engine Land
What separates legitimate content marketplaces from so-called "Made for AdSense" companies that generate content purely for marketing purposes is the intent of the company and the quality of the articles, said Rand Fishkin, co-founder and chief executive of search marketing firm SEOmoz.
That gets closer to the heart of the controversy. The dividing line between people who don't have a problem with Associated Content and those who do seems to come down to one of the most hard-to-define aspects of a Web site: quality. And quality, as most people know, is terribly difficult to define. As the 20th-century U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once said in declining to venture too far into a definition of pornography: "I know it when I see it."
The complaint is that much of the content coming out of some of these pay-for-blogging sites is lousy because it's designed more for ranking higher in search engines than to inform or educate readers. Associated Content was taken to task for that in an article headlined "Bottom Slurping for Google Juice," on the Clickz news site.
Search Engine Land's Sullivan followed up on his blog, suggesting that Associated Content could be contributing to the "pollution" of search engine results and "manipulating Google's rankings" by using, for instance, repetitive hyperlinks from the same word within an article to another page on the site.
"Some people just want to make money off AdSense and they just need content, so they'll effectively freelance stuff from authors. It gets into these gray areas," Sullivan said in a recent interview. "The only issue with Associated Content is they've got a Google executive on the board. Because the company is in this gray area it becomes an issue for them. What they are doing isn't wrong, but it is subject to debate."
"The key issue here is you've got someone directly involved in Google's revenue generation also involved in a company that is taking advantage of ways to generate revenue from Google," said Andy Beal, founder of Internet marketing consultancy and blog Marketing Pilgrim. "That's the conflict."

Picture: Disney girl Adrienne Bailon visits 'Millions of Milkshakes' to create her own custom milkshake. Los Angeles, California - 06.11.09
Disney CEO Robert has told analysts and investors that the studio plans to proceed with its plans to shorten the time period between the release of movies theatrically and their release on home video. During a conference call on Tuesday he remarked, "We feel that it's time, on a case-by-case basis, movie-by-movie basis, to really take a look at how we're windowing the home video product into the marketplace." Today's (Wednesday) Hollywood Reporter indicated that Disney's upcoming Alice in Wonderland may be the first movie to get its "windowing" readjusted. The trade publication said that Disney plans to allow Alice to play for only 13 weeks instead of the usual 16, then accelerate its availability on video-on-demand and DVD/Blu-ray. The trade publication, which did not cite sources, said that theater owners have been given assurances that Disney will proceed cautiously in broadening its windowing experiment.

Since this model uses some special Lego parts (doors, wheels, windshield, etc.) it is not practical to build it as a MoC at the true scale. I wondered if it may be possible to replicate the look and feel of 5571 at a smaller scale using more common parts and this is what I came up with:
Because it is roughly half the size of the original Black Cat, I named it the "Black Kitten". However, the only animal that kind of fits the top of the radiator at this scale is the frog, so maybe it should be called the "Black Frog"?
There is no need for the fabuland shovel at this scale, the the ubiquitous minifig shovel fits perfectly:
Fake diesel V8 under the hood:
Adjustable recline for driver's seat, and minifig size bed in the sleeper cabin:
Yes, the coffee cup and the reading light are still there as well...

Loaded on one of my sites, logged out, tried to log back in with out completing the captcha and was logged right in??? Why bother?
I used this on my blog for several weeks. During that time I had at least 5 spam messages every single day. I turned off this plugin and the amount of spam messages did not increase. I added a simple question captcha and now I get absolutely no spam emails.
Their plugin page is down or gone and I have read posts in coding forums where people are paying coders to code a way around this plugin and I believe that they have figured it out.
Do not waste your time with this plugin.
Works right out of the box and was a breeze to install. Thanks!
Hoop jumping festival to install and then didn't work when I did.
I actually waited a few weeks before giving a response, because I wanted to do a Pro/Cons, but so far I only have Pros.
Things I liked about Confident Captcha
Easy to install
Much less user complaints (none so far)
I was able to match the captcha skin to the color of my website
Most importantly bot traffic down to zero (was using reCAPTCHA)
This plugin is what my site needed. I didn't want an impossible CAPTCHA for my site's visitors I also didn't want a silly game. So this is a great fit.
The plugin looks great, just doesn't work with WP Multisite. Network nor site-by-site activation. Works good on Registration page. Does not display puzzle on login or change password. As far as I can tell, there is no shortcode for contact form integration.
So sorry. I would love to use this plugin!
Photos are much easier/friendlier than trying to read badly distorted text.
The only drawback of this plugin is that it looks like an advertisement at the bottom of your comment box asking people to click it before they can post, and there is no Setting to add user-definable informative text just above the Captcha like "Prove you are a human by clicking the photos below."
Maybe in the next update.
I installed this plugin and it works very well, one of my sites was attracting in the region of 150 to 200 spam comments a day, this has now stopped, great job. During the installation I had a bit of a glitch and sent a request to the support desk, I got a response very quickly, within an hour or so, the solution worked perfectly.
I was having an awful amount of trouble with spam on my website. I installed ReCAPTCHA, which was plagued with two problems. One, the bots still got past, and two, my users complained about the impossible-to-read, distorted words. Since I installed Confident CAPTCHA, I have received no spam, but I have received many compliments from my website visitors. Best CAPTCHA ever!

Issue No.05 - September (1996 vol.13)
pp: 23-26

<it>Developing quality software "just in time" has been one of the most significant challenges of the 1990s. Software tools and new software methodologies can together play a ke role in achieving a higher level of software quality and productivity. Software quality can be greatly improved by selecting a correct development tool to assist in each phase of the development process, from requirements analysis to final testing and integration. Selecting an inappropriate tool, on the other hand, can actually hinder software development.</it>

Premier League Message Board
The Best/Worst Transfers of the January Window.
With the transfer window about to close, which moves would you say have been the biggest coups and which signings do you expect to flop?
For me, Aston Villa's £3.5 million capture of Emile Heskey has got to be one of the best bargains. Heskey has been cracking for Wigan over the last couple of seasons, and should fit in perfectly with Villa's style of play, providing cover and competion for John Carew.
Hull getting Jimmy Bullard for £5 million also looks like a good bit of business, considering Bullard was called up for England just a year ago.
I think Wilson Palacios may turn out to be a world class player, Spurs were shrewd in snapping him up quickly. I'm surprised none of the top 4, particularly Arsenal, were intersted.
As for the worst transfers, Craig Bellamy has got to be a massive rip-off at £14 million. £10 million for Wayne Bridge also seems steep.
I'm not sure what Sam Allardyce sees in El Haji Diouf, but I'd have kept the £4 million.
Discuss.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
my best 4 ransfers:
(Christophe Berra to Wolves - Unless this is only a PL transfer thread.
I like this kid, having seen him with Hearts, and he'll be a good fit for a Wolves team that will be surely in the PL next season.Now if they'd kept Michael Mancienne....)
Heskey to Villa - 3.5M has to be, HAS TO BE a bargain considering that Villa can have an intimaditing front 3 now(Heskey,Gabby & Carew)
Savio Nsereko to WHU - I saw him play for Brescia 3 months ago, before he went to Upton Park, and i can swear on the Crown, he is going to be special.
Craig Bellamy to City - I'll have to disagree with you on this one. I'm a Man United fan, and I like this transfer. Why?
Because Bellamy + Robinho = scary. Imagine Robinho dancing around people and Bellamy whacking those who don't get in the way. And he'd be perfect for the kind of scrap City are in.
Ricardo Quaresma to Chelsea - Simple. Felipao wanted Quaresma. Felipao is gone now. How will this work?!?!?!?!?!?
Robbie Keane to Spurs - Actually, make this ALL ex-Spurs returning.
Proof that Juande Ramos and Damien Comolli were tw@ts.
Matthew Etherington to Stoke - HE DOESN'T FIT TONY PULIS' SYSTEM.Waste of money.
Lassana Diara to Real Madrid/Jermain Defoe to Spurs - The reasons behind Pompey's fall from grace.
Hay Rob.
I agree the Aston Villa one but not the BEST. To be honest I think that the Jimmy Bullard one was interesting. But I think Craig Bellamy was the best one.

So if you ever receive a random call, insisting that you must pay them "today" with a major credit card or by authorizing them to take the money out of your account and you dont' know who they are, don't trust them. Turn the tables and tell them that you will call the police on them for attempting to run a pay day loan scam on you. Also, Max Gamble will never give out their company address, their fax # and they won't reveal who their client is. This is totally illegal. If you owe a lender money, the debt collection agency is obligated to tell you who the lender is that they're representing so that you may pin point what debt you're paying back, or if the debt exists in the first place.
