Goshen, Elkhart Co. Work to Save Cequent Jobs
October 25, 2012 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Goshen, Ind., elected officials and employees say they will work their hardest to find a way the city can help Cequent Towing Products employees, but finding a solution might be difficult.
The Goshen News reported that parent company TriMas Corp. recently announced a preliminary recommendation to shut the Goshen facility, moving production lines to Reynosa, Mexico, according to a company statement. While it's not a final decision, employees expect to hear the outcome by late November, according to the statement.
Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman and Dorinda Heiden-Guss, director of the Elkhart Economic Development Corp., are working to schedule a meeting with Cequent officials.
"I don't know if there is anything we can do," Kauffman said Wednesday (Oct. 24), adding he is certainly willing to try to help retain the jobs.
Heiden-Guss said it is a wage and benefits issues and as soon as she heard the news about the closure plans Friday she went to the plant to meet with company officials and was referred to other executives to arrange a future meeting. She believes that meeting will occur soon.
"Your heart does bleed for (Cequent employees)," Kauffman said. "These aren't high-paying jobs anyway."
He also expressed frustration with TriMas. He said the company had a good profit in 2011. He said of the planned move to Mexico, "I think it's to drive the wages down and the profit up."
The city's most likely way of reclaiming anything against Cequent is through property tax phase-ins, according to city attorney Larry Barkes, who spoke at Tuesday's City Council meeting. The City Council approved two property tax phase-ins for the company over the past seven years, both for equipment improvements.

October 25, 2012 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
Bloomfield, Mich.-based Trimas Corp. reported record sales of $335.9 million in its third quarter, ended Sept. 30, due to the "successful execution of numerous growth initiatives and results from bolt-on acquisitions."
Trimas, parent to RV supplier Cequent Performance Products, said third-quarter revenue reflected a 21% increase from $277.7 million in third quarter 2011. During the period, net sales increased in all six reportable segments.
"Our record third quarter sales demonstrates we are successfully executing on our growth strategies," said David Wathen, TriMas president and CEO. "We achieved sales growth of 21.0% during the third quarter, resulting from our bolt-on acquisitions, product innovation, market share gains and geographic expansion. In the midst of an uncertain global economic environment, we identify the bright spots where we believe we can capture growth for our businesses. We are making careful decisions to accelerate growth programs that are working, as we capitalize on opportunities that will drive long-term stakeholder value, while still mitigating and controlling risks."
Net income during the third quarter was $18.7 million compared to $18.3 million the previous year while operating profit was $36.6 million.
The company's Cequent America segment reported a 6.7% rise in sales compared to the year ago period. The increases were the result of newer product launches and continued market share gains. Third quarter operating profit increased compared to the prior year period as a result of higher sales levels, excluding the costs incurred related to the relocation of certain production to a lower cost country.

Cequent Looks at Closing Goshen, Ind., Facility
October 22, 2012 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
TriMas Corp., parent company of Cequent Performance Products, has reached a preliminary recommendation to shut down its Goshen, Ind., plant, according to TriMas spokesperson Alan Upchurch.
"This is just a preliminary recommendation," Upchurch said. "The final decision will be made sometime in mid- to late November."
According to a report in the Goshen News, Upchurch said the Cequent facility in Goshen employs about 450 people. While some of those may be able to transfer to another plant, he was not sure how many or when.
"Every year, the company evaluates growth plans," Upchurch said. "In the evaluation, they saw the need to make changes to make the business more competitive, which is why there is the preliminary recommendation."
Employees of Cequent were informed of this recommendation last week, according to Upchurch.
Cequent is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of a broad range of accessories for light trucks, sport utility vehicles, recreational vehicles, passenger cars and trailers of all types. Products include cargo management and rack systems, towing and hitch systems and trailer and electrical brake systems. Brands include Bulldog, ROLA, Highland, The Pro's Brand, Draw-Tite, Reese, Hidden Hitch, Fulton, Wesbar and Tekonsha.
According to TriMas' website, the parent company had net sales of $1.084 billion in 2011, with 35% of those sales coming from Cequent North America, which includes the Goshen plant. The 2011 net sales were the highest figures for TriMas since 2008, according to the website.

TriMas to Pay Down $50M in Principal on Debt
May 17, 2012 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
TriMas Corp., parent to Cequent Performance Products, will pay down $50 million of long-term principal on senior secured debt notes due in 2017, the company reported in a recent notice to Bank of New York Mellon Trust Co. NA, trustee of the notes.
Crain's Detroit Business reported that the Bloomfield Hills, Mich.-based manufacturer of engineered and applied products in the energy, aerospace, recreational vehicle and other industries gave that notice under an optional redemption provision of a 2009 indenture governing notes at 9.75% interest.
TriMas expects about $200 million of debt principal will remain outstanding after the redemption. The redemption price will include the principal and interest rate, plus all accrued and unpaid interest as of next month. After the redemption, the company expects to have about $200 million in debt principal remaining on those notes.
On May 2, the company raised $83 million, minus some fees, from an offering of 4 million new shares of stock for "general corporate purposes," which could include repayment of long-term debt or company acquisitions, according to a recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission report. It was unclear whether any funds from that offering were put toward payment on the debt notes.

Trimas Tallies Record 1Q Sales, Earnings Grow
April 26, 2012 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
TriMas Corp., parent to Cequent Performance Products, reported record sales for its first quarter, ended March 31.
The company posted revenue of $297.6 million, an increase of 15.1% compared to first quarter 2011. Net income during the three-month period was $12.25 million compared to $11.75 in the year prior.
"2012 is off to a solid start as we build upon the positive momentum of the past year," said David Wathen, president and CEO for Bloomfield Hills, Mich.-based Trimas. "We achieved sales growth of 15.1% during the first quarter, resulting from successful execution of our strategic growth initiatives including bolt-on acquisitions, product innovation, market share gains and geographic expansion. While demand levels started the quarter slowly across several businesses, we saw significantly improved order and shipment levels late in the quarter."
Net sales for Cequent North America decreased 1.5% compared to the year ago period, resulting primarily from a sales decrease within the Trimas retail channel due to a one-time stocking order for a significant customer in the first quarter of 2011 that did not recur in 2012. First quarter operating profit decreased compared to first quarter 2011 due to lower sales levels, costs incurred to relocate certain production to lower cost countries and increased selling, general and administrative costs, primarily in support of growth initiatives. Trimas said it continues to reduce fixed costs, minimize its investment in working capital, and leverage Cequent's strong brand positions and new products for increased market share.

The company also announced acquisition of 70% ownership of Arminak & Associates, a leader in the design and supply of foamers, lotion pumps, fine mist sprayers and other packaging solutions for the cosmetic, personal care and household product markets. Arminak will become part of Rieke, within the Packaging segment.
"We are proud of our many accomplishments in 2011, as our balanced and structured approach to growth, productivity and cash generation drove positive results, significantly better than our early expectations," said David Wathen, TriMas president and CEO. "We achieved sales growth of 20%, resulting primarily from the successful execution of our strategic growth initiatives including product innovation, geographic expansion and bolt-on acquisitions. We remained focused on our productivity and lean initiatives, and we used these savings to fund growth, offset inflation and maintain operating margin in a year of increased growth investment. We generated strong cash flow, managed our operating working capital as a percentage of sales and reduced interest costs. All of these successes, made possible by our dedicated employees, contributed to our earnings growth of approximately 40% on a comparable basis with 2010."

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
July 4, 2010
On Hatteberg's People this Fourth of July weekend, we think about those who do jobs the rest of us wouldn't do in a million years. Staff Sergeant Eric Farley of McConnell has one of those jobs. He's a bomb disposal expert for the Air Force and through his deployment has become a hometown hero for the rest of us.
"I've always been drawn to exciting situations," Farley said. "I was looking for something to propel my life forward, I get that better here than anywhere else."
"Here" is McConnell Air Force Base where Staff Sergeant Eric Farley continues his training on explosives.
"There" is Afghanistan, where he has completed two tours of duty as an ordinance disposal specialist.
"You have to be constantly aware of everything that is going on around you," Farley said. "All situations, so you are very focused, very concentrated."
Here at McConnell in a demonstration in how he works with robots to diffuse bombs-- it is technology and sweat all coming together to make his work in bomb disposal a life-changing experience.
"It, in the way it is designed, serves every function that the human arm does. It's designed to work that way," Farley said.
From a console Staff Sgt. Farley has complete control of the robot as it picks up a suspicions package and moves it to a location where it can be disarmed.
"The toughest thing you deal with by far, is the loss of friends, because we are a very tight knit community, so when you lose a friend it is by far, the hardest thing to deal with," Farley said.
Back in training at McConnell, Staff Sgt. Farley dawns an incredibly heavy Kevlar protection suit to move a device into place that will destroy the would-be bomb.
"It weighs about 90 pounds for the large suit," Farley said.
"You can definitely feel the adrenalin, you can definitely feel the pressure of the situation around you and yet again, you just fall back on your training. You just stay focused on what you are doing and do your job and you rely on the guys around you to be doing their job.
"Everyone has a grasp that we're the ones who disarm bombs and anybody who does that has to be an interesting character," Farley said. "Everyone's goal is to save the lives of the people around them. We're there to make sure our guys are staying alive."
At McConnell since 2005 and with the Afghan tours under his belt, Eric has no plans to leave the job and the life he loves.
"I'm going to do 20 years at least," Farley said. "I enjoy it that much."
So from the Afghan countryside to the safe confines of McConnell, Staff Sgt. Farley is one of those quiet heroes who just does his job, no matter how dangerous it may be.
"I absolutely love my job," Farley said. "I couldn't imagine doing anything else."

Large Option Buyer Quadruples Money in Ensco Plc (ESV)
Further proof that it's who you know, not what you know, in investing, an investor made a killing in the call options of Ensco plc (ESV) this month. The trader seemed to pull a rabbit out of his hat when he purchased over 6,000 July $55 calls in ESV for 35 cents, around 3 pm on June 6, 2014. Just over two weeks later those calls are bidding $1.35.
So this investor put up $210,000 on June 6 and two weeks later is sitting on $810,000, and counting. So who was it, and how did they know ESV would pop? Your guess is as good as the SEC's. Actually, your guess is likely better than the SEC's. In our opinion, this trade is just one of MANY examples of rampant insider trading, cronyism and fraud in the U.S. capital markets.
Let's look at the company events since that large option purchase on June 6:
1) It's interesting, yet odd, to note that on June 6 and 7th insiders sold some of their shares, including a VP who sold a $252,000+ stake.
2) The "Dividend Channel" named Ensco PLC as a top dividend paying energy stock (it's divi is now 5.39%)
3) June 17 Ensco announced that one of their ultra deep water drill ships was contracted by Total SA, adding $1.2 billion to ESV's order backlog….along with several other new contracts announced in their 8k filing
While the June 17 contract announcements in the 8k filing seem the likely motivating factor in the investors call buying, it is interesting that the stock price didn't spike on that day or the next.
It's highly unlikely that the Dividend Channel recommendation had anything to do with this call buying it is always a possibility. It really depends on the size of their subscription base, and it is difficult to determine from their website.
Our money is on a leak on the new drill ship contract, either on the Ensco PLC side, or on the Total Energy side. While you can't beat them, you can certainly join them. When you see a large call buy like the one on Ensco PLC (ESV) on June 6, it can pay to ride their coat tails as it usually is based on some sort of insider information.
Here's the stock chart since June 6 on Ensco Plc (ESV)

Ryan Howard and David Bell homered in a ninth-inning rally, but the Phillies couldn't hold on, losing to the Nationals 5-4 Saturday night.
Preston Wilson delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 12th off Aquilino Lopez, blooping a single to right that scored Jose Guillen from second.
Howard and Bell tied the game in the ninth off closer Chad Cordero, driving consecutive homers to deep left that pulled the score to 4-4. It was Cordero's fifth blown save this season.
Howard continued his recent heroics off good pitching, and for Bell, it was his third clutch hit in as many games. This was his hardest-hit ball of the season, a blazing shot that just missed the upper deck.
The admirable charge came up short after Washington starter John Patterson locked up the Phils through 7 2-3, striking out eight. The big right-hander tossed a season-high 119 pitches, using a tailing fastball that froze the left-handed bats. Patterson (8-4, 2.44) is among the best pitchers the team has faced in 2005.
Pat Burrell was the only hitter to connect off Patterson, a solo shot in the second, his 28th of the year. After struggling on the road early, he's had a consistent trip, going 13-40 with four homers. Burrell and Howard represent the best hitters on the team right now.
The Phils blew several golden opportunities to score, including two bases-loaded chances that fell into the lap of Jimmy Rollins. With two outs in the fifth, Rollins popped up the first pitch to end the threat, and in the 11th, J-Roll made it easy for struggling reliever Gary Majewski, chasing high and grounding into a fielder's choice with one out.
Rollins has been a clueless hitter this season: buckling, hacking, twirling. His .679 OPS is the lowest it's been since May 31. He's logged 70 more at bats than the next highest teammate, Bobby Abreu, but his approach is among the most amateur on the team.
The broadcast crew will point to his streak of consecutive games reaching base safely, but that's a bogus number. He's been dense to his leadoff responsibilities ever since the Phils asserted themselves into the playoff hunt.
Some players look comfortable in tough spots. Others look like Bobby Abreu.
Someone is bound to throw a stat my direction that says Abreu has done very well with runners in scoring position and past the seventh inning. But when it comes to delivering when even I can feel the pressure through the television screen, Abreu rarely comes through.
Abreu and Chase Utley, the Phils three-and four hitters, went 0-10 last night.
The Phillies began the game with Eude Brito, making the second start of his career. Brito went four innings, allowing six hits and two earned runs. The Phils were lucky the Nationals didn't score more. They were seeing Brito's pitches very well and driving them hard.
The loss overshadows two fine relief performances by Geoff Geary and Aaron Fultz. For Geary, it was his best outing of the season, pitching three shutout innings, surrendering one walk and no hits. Fultz pitched shutout ball in the 10th and 11th as he continues to assert himself as the bullpen's best southpaw next to Billy Wagner.
Beerleaguer observations
- Something has kicked in with David Bell. Charlie Manuel hasn't given him a day's rest in a while, a move I would have considered with how badly he's struggled. Bell has responded with three clutch hits and seven RBIs in three games. I had a small hunch Bell would finish strong. He's a former NLCS MVP, and I can't help but wonder if sniffing the playoffs has triggered something inside. Bell has made an entire career getting by on guts and concentration over athlethic ability.
- Ugueth Urbina's strikeout of Preston Wilson with two outs, runners on second and third in the ninth is the type of situation Ed Wade had in mind when he traded for him.
- The Phillies faced Gary Majewski for the 745th time this season.
- Ryan Howard now leads all NL rookies with 13 homers. I'd say that 10 of those weren't hit squarely, including the one last night that floated over the left-field wall in cavernous RFK. One of these days he's going to meet a pitch with the fat of the bat and hit one to South America.

Hanesbrands can't wait 'til it gets its Hanes on you. The company designs, makes, and sells bras, hosiery, men's boxers, socks, and other intimate apparel under brand names such as Bali, Champion, barely there, Just My Size, Hanes, L'eggs, Playtex, and Wonderbra. Its bras are tops in the US; its underwear, legwear, and activewear units are market leaders, as well. Hanesbrands also makes basic outerwear, such as T-shirts, and licensed logo apparel for collegiate bookstores, legwear for Donna Karan, and underwear for Polo Ralph Lauren. The lineup is sold to wholesalers, major retail chains (Wal-Mart, Target, and Kohl's), and through Hanesbrands' value outlets and Internet site. It acquired Maidenform in 2013.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Less than a year after buying Maidenform Brands, HanesBrands traveled across the Atlantic to acquire DBApparel, a maker of intimate apparel, hosiery, and underwear in Europe, for €400 million ($528 million) in August 2014. DBApparel's brands include DIM, Playtex, and Wonderbra.
Looking to boost earnings, Hanesbrands purchased Maidenform for $547 million in October 2013. The move gave Hanesbrands a brands portfolio with greater depth (adding the Maidenform, Flexees, and Self Expressions brands) to better compete with rivals, such as Victoria's Secret and Spanx, who are changing the landscape of the bra and underwear niche of the apparel industry with frilly and shapewear options. Hanesbrands expects the Maidenform purchase to add to its earnings within 12 months. It will see the full benefits of the acquisition within three years.
Geographic Reach
Hanesbrands rings up 89% of its sales in the US. International markets, including Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, and Mexico, account for 11%.
Sales and Marketing
Wal-Mart, Target, and Kohl's are the company's largest customers, accounting for 28%, 18%, and 6% of 2012 sales, respectively. Mass merchandise stores are vital to the company's performance, accounting for about half of Hanesbrands' total sales. Hanesbrands also allies with mid-tier stores, including J. C. Penney, Macy's, and Kohl's, which are adding its lower-priced labels. It's L'eggs and Hanes brand underwear are also sold in food, drug, and variety stores. Hanesbrands also sell apparel to the US military for sale to soldiers and through discount chains, including Dollar General and Family Dollar Stores.
Financial Performance
The apparel maker's sales fell more than 2% in 2012 to $4.5 billion versus more than $4.6 billion in 2011. Net income declined 38% over the same period.
Looking abroad in 2014, Hanesbrands agreed to acquire DBApparel Group of France, a maker of intimate apparel in Europe, from investment firm Sun Capital Partners. DBApparel holds the license to manufacture and sell apparel under the Wonderbra and Playtex trademarks in the European Union, as well as several other nations in Europe and South Africa.
In 2012 Hanesbrands narrowed the focus of its imagewear business, which sells licensed logo apparel, by selling its European and private-label imagewear businesses. Going forward the apparel maker will focus its imagewear business (now known as branded printwear) on Hanes and Champion branded products in the US. Hanes entered the imagewear business in late-2010 with the purchase of GearCo (aka Gear for Sports), a leading seller of licensed logo apparel in collegiate bookstores and other sales retail channels, to further its strategy of creating stronger branded and defensible businesses in its Outerwear segment.
Going forward, Hanesbrands is focusing on reducing production costs. It counts on improving operating efficiencies primarily by using a low-cost global supply chain based upon a combination of owned, contracted, and sourced manufacturing. It has successfully started and increased production at a textile plant in China, its first company-owned facility in Asia. Hanesbrands meanwhile shuttered about 10 manufacturing plants and three distribution centers. The closings include the company's last large knit-fabric textile plant in the US.
Investment firm FMR LLC owns about 10% of Hanesbrands' shares.
Company Background
Hanesbrands was formed in 2005 and spun off from Sara Lee Corp. (known know as Hillshire Brands Company) in 2006.

Fantastic product

This tea straw is really great. At the bottom it has a little spiral doohickey that stops any tiny bit of leaf getting into the straw. In practice, the tea is as free of leaves as with a teabag. This is far superior to many other bombillas I've looked at, which have holes down the bottom instead, and tend to allow in small tea leaves. It's also super easy to clean - the little spiral part lifts up easily with a spring mechanism. A rinse under the tap will basically have it back to pristine condition, and it's dishwasher safe. The straw also allows me to drink tea lying down. Best way to drink tea!
excellent quality

I bought two of these straws, for use with my own herbal mixtures of tea. I put my teas in a cup, then sip from the straw. It completely filters the tea, and only needs a quick rinse to clean. Excellent buy, as more primitive ones are the same price at my local co-op. Very high quality stainless steel, made in Argentina. For anyone who grows and harvests their own herbs, or makes their own blends, this is so much easier than trying to make tea bags, or filter with baskets. And the design is the very best of them all.
Not good with small pieces of tea leaves

With the Yerba Mate loose tea leaf I bought, it seems to go through once the teas have infused the water. I think it works well with large tea leaves.

Young WRs Catching A Good OpportunityPosted by on August 10, 2010 – 12:55 pm
The Vikings entered 2010 Verizon Vikings Training Camp with WR being one of their strong points. As it turns out, 2 of the top 3 WRs have missed all or most of training camp and several younger or more inexperienced players have been given more opportunities as a result.
Sidney Rice, who had a breakout season in 2009 and earned his 1st Pro Bowl, was placed on the PUP list to begin camp because of a hip injury that has hindered him since the NFC title game. Rice still isn't practicing and his return doesn't seem imminent. Then on Tuesday morning, Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress disclosed to reporters that WR Percy Harvin, last year's AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, is dealing with migraines. The migraine issue is one that bothered Harvin last season and it comes at a time when Harvin is also grieving the death of his Grandmother.
So with 2 of the top 3 Vikings WRs off the field, things have gone a bit differently than expected for WRs coach George Stewart's group. A trio of veterans have done what's expected of them. Bernard Berrian has stepped up and had a great camp, both in on-field production and in leadership ability. And then 2 other veterans – Jaymar Johnson and Greg Lewis – have also been there to take on an extra load with Harvin and Rice out of action.
But what's been just as pleasing to see is the progression of the Vikings young WRs, such as 2nd-year pro Taye Biddle and former Golden Gopher Logan Payne.
"They're getting opportunities," Stewart said of his young and inexperienced receivers. "And that's what you want to see. To practice and show the coaching staff what you can do. These young guys trying to make the football team, it's important for them to get work and they're making the most of their opportunities."
Berrian, who's had the best camp of any Vikings WR, agrees with Stewart's assessment.
"They're doing a great job coming in, especially the new guys, and adjusting to the playbook and learning plays," Berrian explained. "They're being thrown in there, still being young and having to learn things, they're doing a good job of making plays."
It's an encouraging sign that individuals such as Berrian and Stewart have been pleased with what they've seen from the young WRs, but the proof will be in the pudding when the Viking suit up for preseason action. The team's 1st preseason game will be this Saturday in St. Louis.
That's when we'll see if the Vikings WRs are catching on.

Henrico to build new Dumbarton Area Library at Staples Mill Centre
Henrico County plans to build a new Dumbarton Area Library on a parcel provided in Staples Mill Centre, a mixed-use community to be developed by Gumenick Properties between West Broad Street and Staples Mill Road near Libbie Avenue.
Under an agreement approved Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors, the three-story library will be built beside a two-acre lake with a fountain, creating an attractive gathering place surrounded by residences and shops. The library, which will have 50,000 to 60,000 square feet of floor space, is expected to be under construction in spring 2014 with an opening slated for fall 2016.
"This agreement represents an exciting collaboration between the public and private sectors," said Richard W. Glover, chairman of the Board of Supervisors and supervisor for the Brookland District. "The new library will be a tremendous resource for Henrico residents and will be a focal point for other activity in Staples Mill Centre, which in turn will generate jobs and economic activity for the area."
Under the agreement, Henrico will receive the 3.3-acre library site at no cost. It will contribute $250,000 toward the construction of a lake plaza and other pedestrian features and will make a one-time payment of $150,000 in lieu of annual fees to a property owners association.
In exchange, Gumenick Properties will prepare the library site for construction. The company also will extend utilities and build roads and amenities, including the lake, plaza, walks, lighting and landscaping. Storm water runoff from the library will be managed offsite as part of the development of Staples Mill Centre.
Gumenick Properties estimates that when completed the cost of all buildings and improvements in Staples Mill Centre will be about $434 million.
"We're proud to have the library in the neighborhood," said Wayne A. Chasen, president and CEO of Gumenick Properties. "The facility complements our vision for Staples Mill Centre as a vibrant community, a regional destination and a pedestrian-friendly environment for people living near and in Staples Mill Centre."
Before the library opens, Gumenick Properties will begin construction on the first of four private buildings that are planned along Staples Mill. The company will start construction of a second building before the first anniversary of the library's opening.
The library is expected to cost about $30.5 million. Initially, only the building's first and second floors will be finished. The facility will have 236 surface parking spaces.
Henrico voters approved funding in the 2005 bond referendum to replace the Dumbarton Area Library. The current Dumbarton Area Library, at 6800 Staples Mill, is about 1.5 miles west of the site for Staples Mill Centre. At 22,500 square feet, the library opened in 1976 following a renovation of what had been Dumbarton Elementary School.
The 80-acre Staples Mill Centre is planned in accordance with the land's urban-mixed use zoning designation, which was approved in 2007. Upon completion, the community will have about 2,000 residential units, plus 100,000 square feet of retail space and 50,000 square feet of office space.
Based in Henrico, Gumenick Properties is a real-estate development and property management company with operations throughout the Southeast. Founded in the late-1940s, the company engages primarily in the development and operation of apartments and in homebuilding. Gumenick Properties is currently developing the Grayson Hill and Monument Square communities in Henrico.

Byfleet Co-op staff threatened by masked man with "concealed gun"
By mattcollison | Monday, December 17, 2012, 11:08
A MASKED man walked into a Co-op store in Byfleet and pointed what he said was a gun at staff.
Surrey Police are appealing for help to find a masked man who targeted the Byfleet Co-op.
He demanded money from the till in the attempted robbery at the store in Oyster Lane on Sunday (December 16).
The incident took place just after 6.30am when a man wearing a balaclava threatened staff with what he claimed to be a gun concealed in a carrier bag.
No weapon was seen and the offender left the scene empty handed.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Tim Hadfield, said: "I would appeal to anyone who was in the Oyster Lane area of Byfleet around the time of the incident and who saw anything suspicious to contact officers with information as we need to catch the man responsible.
"This kind of behaviour will not be tolerated and Surrey Police will relentlessly pursue those responsible and bring them to justice."
No injuries were reported by members of staff following the incident.
The offender is described as a white man, of large build and over 6ft tall. He was wearing a green three quarter length jacket, blue trousers, black trainers and a balaclava covering his face.
Anyone with information on this incident is urged to contact Surrey Police on 101 quoting reference P12367787 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Lost in the Memory Place: Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller
The multimedia artworks of Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller emphasize aural and visual experiences that transport the viewer to other realms of consciousness. Their work is highly scripted, meticulously detailed and often cinematic in scope, breaking down distinctions between fiction and everyday reality. Through various levels of engagement, the viewer becomes a participant, either witnessing a phenomenon or becoming immersed in a scenario and vitally activating it.
Janet Cardiff began collaborating with fellow Canadian artist and partner George Bures Miller in 1995. When Cardiff and Miller represented Canada at the 49th Venice Biennale with Paradise Institute (2001), they won both La Biennale di Venezia Special Award and the Benesse Prize, which recognizes artists who "break new artistic ground with an experimental and pioneering spirit." They are now among the foremost artists of their generation, and their work has been shown around the world.

Pre-trip: Mongolia, the Gobi Desert & Kharkhorin
Discover Mongolia from the Gobi Desert, where nomadic herders still practice an ancient way of life … to the plains of Kharkhorin, where Genghis Khan once rode … and the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, where modern buildings stand near Buddhist monasteries and traditional ger tents. Join us to explore this fascinating land.
- It's Included:
- Roundtrip international airfare between Beijing and Ulaanbaatar and 1 internal roundtrip flight between Ulaanbaatar and the Gobi Desert
- Accommodations for 1 night in Beijing, 2 nights in Ulaanbaatar, 2 nights in a mountain camp, and 2 nights in a Gobi Desert camp
- 19 meals—7 breakfasts, 6 lunches, and 6 dinners
- 11 small group activities
- All land transportation
- Services of our own resident OAT Trip Leader
- All transfers
hiddenDay 1Depart U.S.
You depart this evening on an overnight flight to Beijing.
hiddenDay 2Arrive in Beijing, China
You arrive in Beijing today. You will be met at the airport by an OAT representative and transferred to your Beijing hotel for a one-night stay.
hiddenDay 3Fly to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia • Explore Ulaanbaatar
After breakfast at our hotel this morning, we set out for the airport for our flight to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia—a fascinating blend of ancient culture mingled with lingering vestiges of the 20th-century communist regime. Our Trip Leader for this extension will meet us upon our arrival and assist with our check-in to our hotel. We'll enjoy our first taste of Mongolian cuisine over lunch at a local restaurant.
Located on the banks of the mighty Tuul River, high in the Bogd Mountain range, Ulaanbaatar was founded in 1639 as a nomadic encampment and was not permanently settled until 1778. Today, it is a bustling metropolis of close to one million people and the country's sole air and railway link to the outside world. Our exploration of Mongolia's fascinating capital city includes ascending Zaisan Hill for panoramic views of the city (please be prepared to walk up 200 steps to the top). We'll also visit the city's hub, Sukhbaatar Square. We'll see the outsides of the Government House (state parliament building) and Stock Exchange building, which attest to the square's importance as the political and financial center of the city. A famous statue of Damdin Sukhbaatar, the "hero of the revolution," presides over the square. It was on this spot that Sukhbaatar declared Mongolia's independence from China in 1921. Less than 70 years later, in 1989, Sukhbaatar Square was also the site of the first protests against Soviet oppression, and rallies and ceremonies are still held here today.
We continue to the National History Museum. Here we'll become more acquainted with Mongolian history from the Stone Age to modern times. We return to our hotel this evening for dinner and time to relax and settle in.
Please note: Due to variations in flight schedules, the flight to Ulaanbaatar sometimes takes place in the evening. When this occurs, we will have our included meals in Beijing and time at leisure to explore Beijing on our own. The city tour of Ulaanbaatar and visit to the National Museum will move to another day.
hiddenDay 4Fly to Gobi Desert • Optional Vulture Valley Tour
We have a very early wake-up call this morning for our flight to the Gobi Desert, with a a packed breakfast provided for our transfer to the airport. When we land, we ride to our desert camp, arriving in time for lunch. The Gobi Desert is a vast and breathtaking region with a semi-arid desert terrain that is dazzling in its variety. Seeking the fabled capital of the Kublai Khan, Marco Polo encountered this vast landscape in the 1270s and proclaimed, "It consists entirely of mountains and sands and valleys. There is nothing at all to eat." Fortunately, you will be well fed as we venture into this mysterious region in south central Mongolia. The drive to our camp passes through a stunning landscape that rolls out to the horizon, and you'll see why this region has earned the nickname "Land of the Blue Sky." You might keep your eyes peeled for the wildlife that makes its home here, from golden eagles and saker falcons to Argali mountain sheep, goitered gazelle, and a variety of reptiles. This area is also the last refuge of wild two-humped Bactrian camels and home to the rare snow leopard and Gobi bear.
Your afternoon is at leisure, or you can join our optional Vulture Valley tour to explore a scenic gorge in the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains. This Mongolian national park offers striking mountain views, wildlife, and glacial ice that often persists year-round.
We'll have dinner in our desert camp. Then, experience the life of a nomadic
herder as you spend the night in an authentic ger felt tent.
hiddenDay 5Explore Gobi Desert • Visit Mongolian family
After breakfast at our camp, we travel to Moltsog Els and Bayanzag, a natural basin that was once an ancient inland sea and today is the setting for the Gobi's vast sand dunes. In 1922, a team from the American Museum of Natural History, headed by Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, defied the prevailing conventional wisdom of the time and began searching for fossils here. Amid the shifting sands, they uncovered a breakthrough in paleontology: the first nest of dinosaur eggs ever found. Dinosaur bones and prehistoric artifacts have also been unearthed here. While we're here, we can admire the Flaming Cliffs, nicknamed for their glowing orange hue. After an included lunch, we'll see more dunes, then visit a Mongolian family that raises camels. We'll take a short ride on camelback, then return to our camp, where we have some free time before dinner.
hiddenDay 6Fly to Ulaanbaatar • Overland to Khogno Khaan
After a very early breakfast, we fly back to Ulaanbaatar this morning, then travel overland to Khogno Khaan Mountain. We'll have a boxed lunch en route, then continue to our mountain camp, where our lodgings are once again in authentic Mongolian gers. The red-rock Khogno Khaan Mountain is located southwest of Ulaanbaatar, in a natural reserve that covers 16,000 acres. This splendid sanctuary is a habitat for ibex, wolves, and many varieties of hawk, and is also renowned for its many monasteries. After we arrive, we'll gaze out over vistas of majestic mountain peaks, sandy hills, and a graceful willow grove, set near the Shiluustei River. This evening, we'll have dinner at our camp.
hiddenDay 7Explore Kharkhorin • Visit nomadic family
Today, we explore one of the most historically and archaeologically important sites in central Asia: Erdene-Zuu monastery. Built in 1586 from the ruins of Kharkhorin—the capital city built by Genghis Khan in 1220—this fascinating religious complex is a testament to Mongol architecture. At its peak, the complex boasted some 100 temples. Though most were destroyed during the Stalinist purges of 1937, three remain for our inspection. In 1962, the complex was allowed to reopen as a museum; it regained its true calling as a place of worship after the collapse of the communist regime. We travel here along the scenic Orkhon River, one of the largest rivers in the country. On arrival, we'll find gates, walls, stupas, and temples constructed of wood, brick, blue brick, and ceramics. In the three temples, we'll trace the course of the Buddha's life—dedicated to his childhood, adolescence, and adulthood—and view excellent collections of 16th-18th century thangkas (traditional Buddhist paintings), masks, wooden and bronze statues, and appliqué and papier-mâché images of various gods. We'll also see how the Orkhon River was diverted to form the monastery lake. We stop for lunch at a restaurant in Kharkhorin, and then set out to visit a nomadic family who make their living breeding horses. It's a rare opportunity to experience modern Mongolian life firsthand.
In the late afternoon, we'll visit the tiny Ovgon monastery, nestled in the cliffs. Devastated by the invading Zanabazar army in 1640, the monastery was reopened in 1992, offering beautifully restored temples and breathtaking views across the plains. Afterwards, we'll have dinner at our camp.
hiddenDay 8Travel to Ulaanbaatar • Explore Ulaanbaatar
After an early breakfast, we travel overland to Ulaanbaatar and have lunch when we arrive. We check in to our hotel and have a little time to rest. Then we'll explore the city further, beginning with the the Zanabazar Fine Arts Museum, founded in 1966 in a turn-of-the-20th-century, Russian-style mansion that formerly housed a Chinese bank, Russian officers' quarters, and a department store. Here, we'll browse among the 10,000 exhibits that include paintings, bronzes, textiles, sculptures, costumes, and prehistoric artifacts. We'll also visit the square dedicated to Chinggis Khaan (Genghis Khan), the most famous of all Mongolians. This evening, we gather for dinner at a local restaurant with a folk music performance.
hiddenDay 9Ulaanbaatar • Fly to Beijing • Begin main trip
Today after breakfast, we depart for the Ulaanbaatar airport and our flight to Beijing, where we join our fellow travelers on Day 2 of our Imperial China, Tibet & the Yangtze River adventure.

There are so many precious little faces in this! I did a search on the Okeechobee migratory camp and found another picture of what I think are the same children, taken the same day. In that one, the children are having nap time. I believe the little girl looking at the camera is the same one who looks like the most enthusiastic singer in this one.

Best Food Choices for a Crowd
Cooking or catering for a crowd doesn't have to be a stressful situation when food choices are made based on what can fill the bellies of guests in the easiest fashion. Here are some pointers that can get any host or hostess started.
1. First, the person hosting the party should realize that "you can't please everyone all of the time." However, efforts can be made to please as many people as possible. Start by making a list of foods that have a past track record with friends and family.
2. For those who are still baffled regarding menu options, think about foods that can be stretched a long way and that are relatively filling. This will cut down on the preparation and the need to have multiple dishes. For example, pasta dishes are generally hearty, can be cooked in bulk and will appeal to the masses. What's more, if its prepared without meat or a meat sauce, pasta is also a great option for vegetarians.
3. Use restaurant party package menus as inspiration. Restaurants are in the business of pleasing diners. Most will have a party menu with crowd favorites. Refer to this menu when crafting a home event. Have a dish of pasta, a tray of poultry or meat, a vegetable dish, and perhaps a starchy side of potatoes or rice. Salad and bread will continue to fill up guests.
4. For more inspiration regarding party menus, consider these ideas:
* Baked chicken: Buy chicken in bulk from the supermarket, purchasing various pieces of the bird. Marinate and bake until done. Chicken is a dish that most people enjoy and is easily prepared.
* Barbecue sandwiches: If the party is a casual affair, use slow cookers to prepare pulled-pork, brisket, and even slow-cooked turkey as the basis of sandwiches. Topped with sweet or savory barbecue sauce, guests can build their own sandwiches and be quite filled in the process.
* Eggplant rollatini: If time is of the essence, pre-sliced and cooked eggplant slices can be purchased in bulk from a supermarket or neighborhood warehouse store. Simply fill with ricotta cheese and mozzarella, then top with marinara sauce and bake. Another vegetarian option that will also appeal to the meat-eating crowd.
* Paella: This rice and mixed-protein dish has Spanish roots. It can be made with chicken, pork, beef or seafood. It's essentially a hearty stew. Because it also can be made in large quantities, paella is a good choice for party crowds.
* Cobblers: When it comes time for dessert for guests, instead of time-consuming cakes that need to be sliced and served, consider a fruit cobbler that can be made in a large pan and then spooned based on how much guests desire.

text: On October 17, 2000, approximately 1545 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 185F, N93981, nosed over during the landing roll at Driggs Municipal Airport, Driggs, Idaho. The airline transport pilot and his passenger were not injured, but the aircraft, which was owned and operated by Teton Holding Company, LLC, sustained substantial damage. The 14 CFR Part 91 business flight, which departed Rexburg, Idaho, about 15 minutes prior to the accident, was being operated in visual meteorological conditions. No flight plan had been filed. There was no report of an ELT activation.According to the pilot, who was landing in calm wind condition, the touchdown and beginning of the landing roll were uneventful. But as the aircraft began to slow, it started to drift to the right and he attempted to apply corrective rudder inputs. During his attempt to realign the aircraft with the runway, the soles of the hiking boots he was wearing got caught on either the edge of the rudder pedals or on each other. He was therefore momentarily unable to apply the appropriate corrective inputs, and by the time he was able to freely move his feet, the aircraft had entered a ground loop from which he was unable to recover. During the ground loop, the aircraft departed the runway, encountered soft terrain and nosed over.
