Tillmoook is planning to employ around 45 staff at the plant, up from 35 during Prairie Farms’ era. Tillamook is one of the country’s fastest-growing ice cream brands, so this acquisition makes sense.” “Sales of ice cream spiked nationwide throughout the pandemic, making it a challenging time for companies looking to add capacity. According to Lenny Davis, CEO of Harry Davis & Company, ‘it was apparent to us there was a significant value and opportunity in finding a processor to restart production’. The Decatur-based factory is an important keystone to the local economy, too. By offering immediate entry to the market, alongside the local milkshed and a Midwest location, the plant had a buyer lined-up in less than 60 days since the property listing went live. Our investments will include structural updates, aesthetic improvements, food safety standard improvements, employee welfare enhancements and extensive line upgrades.”Īccording to Harry Davis & Company - the estate firm which sold the facility to TCCA – the plant can produce more than 14 million gallons of ice cream yearly at peak. “TCCA will spend the next 18 to 24 months updating the plant to bring it up to TCCA's manufacturing quality standards, with a goal of October 2024 for the first full ice cream production run. “In the last year, Tillamook ice cream sales grew nearly 60% in the eastern US, and with so much demand in that part of the country, it makes sense for us to manufacture some of our products geographically closer to the customers who will be purchasing them,” said Mike Bever, executive vice-president of operations at TCCA. Mike Bever, executive VP of operations at Tillamook County Creamery AssociationĮarlier this month, the co-op revealed it had purchased the former Prairie Farms ice cream facility in Decatur, Illinois, with a goal of making it fully operational by Q4 2024.

"I think it's terrible that they're acting like it's still made in Oregon," Janice says. The Neilsons own and operate Fraga Farm in Sweet Home, one of the 19 organic dairy farms currently certified by Oregon Tilth. Lincoln says Tillamook cannot produce the organic cheese locally because it is unable to buy enough organic milk in Oregon-a claim that Janice and Larry Neilson find hard to believe. Many national distributors balk at the idea of revealing who or where their products come from, Lancaster says, but "a lot of our customers do care and want to buy locally." Finance manager Lee Lancaster says the store, which emphasizes detailed labeling, will probably put a sign up next to the product to clarify where it comes from. The fuzziness doesn't sit well with the folks at Food Front in Northwest Portland, who assumed the organic Bandon cheese they were selling came from Oregon. "This is fuzzy," she says, and now that the name of the company is Oregon Coast Foods, it gets even fuzzier." Jan Margosian, a spokeswoman for the Oregon attorney general's office, says no official complaints have been filed, but she concedes that it is confusing. In April 2003, Tillamook changed Bandon's official name to "Oregon Coast Foods," which is the name that appears on the back label. Tillamook spokeswoman Christie Lincoln says "Oregon Coast Cheese" is a slogan used for brand recognition, not to signify the product's origin. ![]() ![]() Nowhere, even in fine print, does it say it's made in Wisconsin, a fact Carey described as "deceitful."įederal law bans companies from misleading consumers about where a product originates. "Oregon Coast Cheese," she said, pointing to the label. When stopped in the parking lot outside Wild Oats in Southwest Portland and shown a block of Bandon organic cheese, Carey assumed it was made in Bandon. ![]() The 48-year-old Portlander makes a point of buying fresh, local goods. That news left a sour taste in Laura Carey's mouth. But it's still made in Wisconsin, from Midwest milk. The cheese is made according to the original Bandon recipe specifications before traveling to Tillamook in 42-pound blocks via refrigerated trucks to be graded, aged, cut up, wrapped, labeled and shipped for distribution throughout the Northwest. But, as WW has learned, its three organic cheeses, which had been made in Bandon prior to Tillamook's purchasing the plant, were outsourced to a facility in Wisconsin. Here's what's up: Four years ago, Tillamook bought the Bandon Cheese company and moved production of its cheeses to Tillamook.

![]() ![]() Cloud Sharing (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).List View (this would have never been on this list, let alone number one, if not for v.8).What I want from a font management app in order of importance: They are clearly reacting to the sluggish Suitcase experience we all suffer through day-to-day. If anybody spots something wrong or left out, add it in the comments.Īs a side note, all other font management platforms I’ve looked at tout speed. This is purely from a Mac perspective, and the features I demand from a contemporary font management platform. So, in the spirit of moving on, I have done a little bit of looking around at the competition in font management. When you start looking around at the competitors - especially the newer ones - you get a clear picture of what the developers want for themselves, and what Extensis is missing, and what Extensis is emulating, albeit poorly.* ![]() The world is moving on from legacy software companies like Adobe and Extensis with a new generation of software developers building tools they want to use (RightFont, Sketch, InVision Studio, Webflow). Now Adobe has dropped Muse, and with Dreamweaver a hot mess, is still trying to birth XD. PS is terrible for web design, and guess who spotted that? The makers of Sketch (Hey Extensis? Where’s the Sketch plugin?). When Adobe dropped my beloved web design tool, it forced everyone into Photoshop. Like Extensis, the lengths they go to to ignore their user community are superhuman.īut Fireworks? This is where Extensis really needs to pay attention. This is where my contempt for Adobe was born. But, in the end it was killed off and we had to make due with AI. Those of us in the Freehand community at the time viewed it as an anti-trust thing, as there were really no other viable alternatives to Freehand and Illustrator. There was a case to be made for dropping Freehand: It was a direct competitor to Illustrator. Or worse, create new competitors these Goliaths never saw coming. I bring up these corporate decisions to kill off, or handicap products to illustrate what happens when a company stops paying attention to its users and, in the end, lose customers to the competition. And who can forgot the hubris of QarkXpress in the late ’90s? () Now they’ve kicked Muse to the curb (not that I care about Muse). We’ve seen Adobe abandon Freehand and Fireworks after the Macromedia acquisition. We saw the same thing with Extensis’ Portfolio (now strictly an enterprise offering). Read on…Īfter reverting back to 7 and keeping a watchful eye on this forum for Extensis to set things right, it appears Suitcase in whole, or as a single-user product, may be coming to the end of its life. ![]() And after months and months of inaction, what other conclusion can be drawn?īear with me, I have a lot to get off my chest. I hope it helps save somebody from Suitcase…Ī common thread in the forums is the observation that Extensis doesn’t seem to know how the community uses their software. I have saved this post I made to the Suitcase forum. If you’re looking for a font manager, don’t invest in Suitcase Fusion 8.
![]() There is too much sense of entitlement among some executives, particularly in this case where the CEO is son of one of the co-founders of the company and nephew of the other. As equity becomes less valuable expect more clamor for cash. The tone of these stories is along the lines of “How could the Board award such excessive cash when the equity is performing so poorly?” I expect on a fundamental level the poor performance of the equity is exactly why the cash award was made. Description of Penn Wharton Business School Video: David Simon, Chairman and CEO of Simon Property Group, describes his experiences managing the largest. Over the past five years, Simon Properties’ returns fell 29.11 percent while the S&P rose 55.77 percent.’ Writing in The New Republic, in an article entitled The Stock Market’s Down-but Guess Which Direction CEO Pay Is Going Timothy Noah added some additional data: “According to The Motley Fool, over the past year, its returns fell 15.89 percent while the S&P 500 fell 5.80 percent. Journalist Patrick Temple-West highlighted Simon Properties in his article US executive pay bucked falling stock market in 2022 noting that shareholder returns dropped 22 percent in 2022. The Financial Times commissioned ISS Corporate Solutions to do an analysis of S&P 500 companies. The company has already gained notoriety as one of this season’s examples of excess. The risk here seems minimal for most employees since the industry of commercial real estate is struggling across the board. For example, David Simon’s OPI Incentive award was $24.25 million, which is “approximately 37% of the total pool of OPI Incentives awarded.” Shareholders are more tolerant, and rightly so, of awards given to executives other than the CEO that may leave for more lucrative jobs elsewhere. Some of the things they said in defense of the award struck me as an indictment of it. ![]() The company filed an open letter to shareholders with the SEC after both ISS and Glass Lewis recommended voting against the advisory vote on pay and other items. The company gave mammoth cash awards, called OPI Incentive awards, to 23 executives on February 10, 2022. This includes a bonus of $28 million dollars. Simon Properties’ Chair and CEO, David Simon, received total compensation for 2022 of $35,667,783, more than three times what he had been paid the prior year. ![]() The story's narrator, a nobleman named Montresor, describes his revenge against fellow noble Fortunato. Plot summary Fortunato and Montresor drink in the catacombs. The story has been frequently adapted in multiple forms since its original publication. Poe may have been inspired to write the story by his own real-life desire for revenge against contemporary literary rivals. Further, Fortunato is depicted as an expert on wine, which Montresor exploits in his plot, but he does not display the type of respect towards alcohol expected of such experts. However, Poe also leaves clues that Montresor has lost his family's prior status and blames Fortunato. Scholars have noted that Montresor's reasons for revenge are unclear and that he may simply be insane. At the end of the story, Montresor reveals that 50 years have passed since he took revenge and Fortunato's body has not been disturbed. For unknown reasons, Montresor seeks revenge upon Fortunato and is actually luring him into a trap, entombing him alive within the catacombs. Fortunato follows him into the Montresor family vaults, which also serve as catacombs. Montresor invites Fortunato to sample amontillado that he has just purchased without proving its authenticity. As in " The Black Cat" and " The Tell-Tale Heart", Poe conveys the story from the murderer's perspective. Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative follows a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement. The story, set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time, is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who, he believes, has insulted him. " The Cask of Amontillado" ( ) is a short story by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe, first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book. “Poe has an aesthetic that lends itself to immersion, and it was exciting to see everything come together in this installation.Illustration of "The Cask of Amontillado" by Harry Clarke, 1919 We all know Poe,” said project manager Elizabeth Kurtzman, a master’s student in English. Movement and color-including a beating scarlet heart lodged in a stark ribcage-were sparingly and artfully applied to the black-and-white imagery. Visitors to the installation heard recordings of texts curated and directed by theatre faculty members Amanda Nelson and Natasha Staley in collaboration with English faculty member Ashley Reed, performed by Virginia Tech students, and presented through the Cube’s 150 speakers, which allowed the sound effects to permeate the space.Īt the same time, the audience members watched virtual shadow puppets projected onto the Cube’s 360-degree cyclorama in an update of the 19th-century tradition of “crankies,” in which hand-cranked moving panoramas were used to tell stories. “Poe’s Shadows,” an immersive theatrical installation, used the advanced technologies of the Cube - an experimental performance space in the Moss Arts Center - to bring the work of Edgar Allan Poe to life.ĭrawing from two of Poe’s best-known works, “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Raven,” the installation explored what happens when literary texts are lifted from the page to the stage and then reimagined through the use of new technology.

To make the peeler crab easier to handle, remove the claws by twisting them off. Split shot weights or specialized sinkers can be used to adjust the sink rate of your bait. Depending on the fishing location and current, you may need weights to keep your bait at the desired depth.

Timing and availability of peeler crabs vary based on local conditions, but they are commonly found in coastal areas during warmer months.ī. The peeling process occurs periodically, with crabs entering a soft-shelled state for a brief period before developing a new, hardened shell. Peeler crabs are the molting stage of common shore crabs, which shed their hard exoskeleton to grow. Whether you’re a novice angler or an experienced fisherman, this guide will help enhance your knowledge and increase your chances of success on the water. In this guide, we will explore various fishing techniques, tips, and the potential catches you can target while using peeler crab as bait.
