Mobile, Ala. -- Mobile shipbuilder Austal USA has won a $1.6 billion contract to build 10 high-speed transport ships for the U.S. military.
U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Tuscaloosa, announced the award this afternoon.
"I am pleased that the Navy continues to recognize Austal's tremendous shipbuilding capabilities," Shelby said in a statement. He called the award "a testament to Alabama's stellar workforce."
Austal employs about 1,000 workers at its Mobile River shipyard.

Austal beat out two other teams that had submitted design contracts for the so-called Joint High Speed Vessel, a Navy-Army program for a high-speed, shallow-draft vessel intended for rapid transport of troops and cargo.
The vessel It will include a flight deck for helicopters and an off-load ramp that will allow vehicles to quickly drive off the ship.
The Navy's current acquisition plan calls for building 10 vessels between fiscal year 2010 and fiscal year 2015.

Well, that's just silly - I like the tags. It seems we'll fuss over anything.

Most likely it is Naman's on Old Shell. They do consider themselves a grocery store of sorts.

Food World sounds about right. Since Bruno's and Food World both shut down their pharmacies, that could be a sign of financial trouble.

That would not surprise me since their financial difficulties have been publicized recently in the paper. I hope it is not them. I love that place, and it has really invigorated that area. I think it is one of the best things that has happened in Mobile in a long time. It is one of the places I take out of town visitors now, especially ladies. All of those other stores besides Old Dutch moved into that area because of Namans Market's success. I always thought that no matter how the market/deli did, that their catering stuff would be able to carry it. It seems like the deli part does a really good business, but Im not sure how much shopping people do there. I rarely see anyone in the market part when I go there. They are also employing a ton of people which would not bode well for those jobs. It seems like they have twice as much staff as they need running around.

Sadly, I heard the same thing about Naman's, from a very reliable source.

LoL, LOL

how sad is that man !!!

I was living In Huntsville for almost 4 years and the mountains are nice don`t get me wrong but they aren`t tall enough to be featured on a tag. It would look like a hill becasue that is exactly how they looked like in Huntsville like huge hills nice at night with the lights and all but hillish.

Well, we have some in Alabama highest peak is like 2000 and some. So, that would not be a lie, but I just do not think that people see that in Alabama right now. We do not have a Gatlinburg and we do not have a Branson. Only Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

Well, you have to realize that the relief between the peaks of the mountains and the valley floors in North Alabama is actually pretty close to the relief of those ranges in the western US.

10101000 · #**3335** Posted **Nov 14, 2008, 8:23 PM**

How about a mixture of the two? Let's just satisfy everyone.

Thanks

kind of funny, when I do spell check it says his name is Osama!

Usually, I'm all for EVERYONE voting, but with people who possess minds (or rather trash recepticles) like this, why would I want them too?

Seriously, did you just eat all the bull you were fed about "Osama," or were you an idiot to begin with?

If you DON'T support him, that's fine. If you voted for McCain, good for you! (I'm from Arizona and he was my senator for QUITE some time and I know him to be capable - when he's not traipsing around with governors from Alaska that is). I'm not critizing your beliefs AT ALL, but I can't believe you could honestly say that crap when you KNOW it isn't true. I mean does it just make you feel better or something? Really, HOW OLD ARE YOU?

And I'm so friggin sick of the race bull-on both sides. I don't understand WHY it's even an issue. If you think Obama won because of the color of his skin, think again. If you think it was due to sympathy, you are really deluded!

Just take a look around you! The night Obama was announced as the president elect the worldwide perception of the U.S. was higher than it ever had been since Bush was elected for his first term. You may argue that "THEY" don't know what they're talking about, but I digress. When it comes to U.S. politics, no one is more knowledgable than foreigners. Why? Because they give a damn. Because they listen to facts and actually try to grasp what is going on, instead of griping and whining.

I'm not "Anti-American" (for those of you "Patriots" out there) I just can't belive that there are people THIS STUPID! IT'S RIDICULOUS!!!!

Heck, he already apologized, let it go. At the risk of prolonging things I will say I'm always a little suspicious of the positives of all the other countries loving something we are doing. They are all motivated by self interests just as we are. Sometimes you can be disliked for the right reasons.

Which is my point. Kim (in North Korea) is at the brink of death...probably. We naturally want to see a leader willing to cooperate and not some idiot! Of course all states are selfinterested! That's part of the realist theory of world politics...which is a story for another time....my point is that I think others might have picked up on his suposed "terrorist ties."

Yeah...I guess I could have turned the other cheek, but then again...I got upset and carried away. I apologize, but I retain my convictions that Tim is severly misinformed and that is a very dangerous thing to be in this day and age.

Dude, do not bother me today, I am not in the mode for more drama. I did apologize for what I said.
