oops i meant
Calleo Gourmet Coffee, dba Kicks Coffee Cafe
Cant find much on it though.
Some info on the Coffee shop you speak of- Still trying to find the link between Ken Johnson and RPH. Anyone seen it in the past?
DALLAS -- Ever vigilant of its customer base, Wal-Mart is working with a coffee house operator to determine if a private partnership in certain markets can beat competitors' reliance on Starbucks.
The operators of San Diego-based Calleo Gourmet Coffees completely remodeled a 1,500-square-foot space near the front of a suburban Wal-Mart in Plano, Texas; that's where the Kicks Coffee Cafe operates. If all goes well, there are plans to brew more cafes at the retailer's supercenters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this year, according to Ken Johnson, chief executive officer of Calleo.
"It's the Cadillac of coffee shops," he told SN.
Kicks' stylish, inviting atmosphere includes light wood tables and chairs that seat up to 40, a terra-cotta tile floor, plasma TVs and free Internet access. In keeping with Wal-Mart's core shopper, it aims to be a more affordable, family-friendly version of Starbucks.
"You have a diverse crowd shopping at Wal-Mart," Johnson told SN. "I talked to people in the supercenters who were very wealthy and the poorest of the poor."
What he learned was all Wal-Mart customers want good value for their
money. Coffee drinkers find it at the Plano store. There they pay $1.25 for a cup of coffee at Kicks, vs. $1.40 at Starbucks.
"Our pricing is 7% to 15% lower than Starbucks," said Johnson. "Wal-Mart's whole thing is you have to create a value proposition for their customers. You don't have to be 50% lower than Starbucks."
Kicks is situated in a well-to-do area with several Starbucks locations nearby, including one in the parking lot. Being near Starbucks was important, Johnson said. He noted that the presence of the powerful coffee concept indicated the community understood and appreciated premium coffee. In fact, employees at Kicks are encouraged to invite customers carrying Starbucks cups to try the Kicks coffee on the house.
"We've probably converted 30 to 35 customers who were stopping at Starbucks first," Johnson said. "Now, they come here. A lot of people don't like that dark [Starbucks] roast. For those people, we're a great alternative. We have more of a medium-to-dark roast."
Eleven associates -- employed by Calleo -- work at the cafe, serving customers the usual assortment of coffee beverages, eight flavors of fresh-fruit smoothies, Chai tea, bottled waters, fruit juices, sandwiches made on-site, ice cream sundaes and baked goods that include biscotti, cookies and cheesecakes. Recently, the store started offering Kicks-brand coffee beans, retailing for $4.50 to $7.35 a pound.
The cafe also runs orders out to customers shopping in the store. Calleo invested in cup holders for shopping carts, and they get a lot of use. Most shoppers purchase Kicks' beverages to drink while they shop. A smaller group of shoppers buys sandwiches or pastry items, and sits down for a real coffee break inside the cafe, Johnson said.
Johnson was an entrepreneur and business consultant with no food-service experience on his resume when he got involved in the coffee business. He and his partners formed Calleo with the intention of doing business with Wal-Mart. The retailing giant had been looking for a partner who understood the company's customers to introduce an in-store coffee shop. Wal-Mart's competitor, Target, had an agreement with Starbucks to operate coffee shops at selected locations.
Operating a coffee house has been enlightening for Johnson. Since the cafe opened, he's had to replace several of the beverage syrup vendors. The cafe also stopped outsourcing sandwiches. The four sandwich varieties are made fresh every day by Kicks' associates, and are displayed grab-and-go style. "They're a better sandwich," Johnson said.
White mocha lattes are the most popular espresso drink. Perhaps most surprising to Johnson, though, is the demand for fruit smoothies in the winter months. The fruit drinks represent nearly 20% of total sales.
"I was expecting smoothies to be at that level in the hotter months," he said.
Without elaborating on locations, Johnson said the company intends to expand to other Wal-Mart stores.
A Wal-Mart representative said the Kicks cafe is still being evaluated, and no decisions have been made regarding its future. "We test quietly at Wal-Mart, and listen to our customers," said spokeswoman Sharon Weber.

There was some belief that the action from the other day (the motion for default) was not going to happen because they filed it under the wrong rule. If that information I quoted earlier is true, then the clerk DID file for the default.

After reading posts all day long I take the following into the weekend:
1) Rufus has been hit with some things he did not anticipate and he is struggling to keep things on track. He knows he has the cards but the game keeps changing. There is no way he issues that PR if he does not have anything. So I discount all the fraud bashers.
2) It is not clear that he has all the answers on how to beat the powers to be on the law suit but he is working hard to figure that out. If this was a big company he would have a staff of people working on it. He does not so he is doing what he can with what he has.
3) There are some shareholders, on the committee that know more and are already hard at work to help. There is no doubt that they are being very cautious what they say as they are not going to risk their own legal status posting on boards. I wish they can say more but the fact they are doing the work is something I am very appreciative of.
4) We are all at risk that the machine wins but I like our chances.
Thanks again to those in the know boat for doing what you can to help. I would love it if you could tell us more but trust that you will give us all you can.

I beg to differ 10of13, I believe it could very well be "something new".
An argument was made on the SPR interview last night by James (Dogman), BullTrader(?), and Beaches (AKA SeaWeed) that the SEC had incorectly filed for the Default under rule 15a which states that the Clerk can "issue" the Default if there was a "Sum amount" (a dollar figure) asked for in the initial complaint. They believe that it should have been filed under rule 15b which would put it in front of the judge.
My understanding is that now CSHD will have to dispute the Default because Default basic means that the prayers for relief in the original complaint is essentially granted. Which may include Rufus being barred from ever being involved in a publicly traded company again.
I am no lawyer, but I can see that it COULD be a serious issue.

That PR confirms to me that Rufus has totally lost his mind (in my opinion). Really you have to ask yourself logically; Who else works for CSHD other than Rufus ?
Please open up your eyes ! He sounds like a desperate, raving lunatic in that PR. You are all smart people - look I drank the Kool Aid with the rest of you for 3 months. But that PR was just lunacy.
The default was filed, really it wouldn't surprise me if the judge rules in favor of the SEC and shuts down CSHD for by Turkey Day.

heres the change... Mike Alexander says that, “I have spent the last couple weeks reviewing the records of Conversion Solutions Holdings Corp (CSHD) and have come to the conclusion that for the Company’s assets to be monetized, the Conversion Solutions management group located in Georgia has the background and relationships in the bond market, with particular bond assets claimed as assets by the Company, to implement the Company’s business plan. I, and all of the shareholders, with the group in Georgia the best of luck in the development of the Company and the shareholders’ value. Mr. Harris has agreed to assume his previous management and board position and will be making announcements in the near future. He can be reached at (678) 758-3010.’
part 1) On November 14, 2006, Mr. Michael Alexander as Sole Director of the Company determined after spending the last couple of weeks reviewing the financial records of the Company accumulated by the previous management group that it is in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders that the future of the Company will best be served by the previous management group located in Georgia as they have the financial background and relationships with issuers of the bond assets they brought to the Company. Mr. Alexander is under the opinion that they have the best opportunity to monetize the assets and if so monetized, implement the Company’s business plan. In conjunction with this decision, Mr. Alexander has reappointed Mr. Rufus Harris as the Sole Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

how about waiting to see the PROOF... this is how rumors get way out of hand..
the fact is? CSHD went on the SHO list in early August and stayed on until it was suspended/halted by the SEC (whatever you call it)... it only came off cuz it's not NASD/OTCBB anymore...
my calculations showed the "crash" from 1.60 in late July was the "dump" that finally put it over the FTD threshold.. but it had been building for awhile... (yes Kevin, watching the ticker can tell you much more than a chart can)
if people don't follow this thru all the way? the same game will continue to be played again, and again and again...
it makes no difference WHO sold the Failure To Delivers (FTDs)... they were sold and stayed on the books for MONTHS.. it COULD have been a company insider, and? it could have been a broker or a pumpandump boiler room group...
the thing is? anybody who "paid to play" is entitled to find out who did it and how...
make sure you demand it...
this is why i've still been here since the price started dropping from 3.50$, it was obvious that the runup to 4$ didn't cover the FTD's, just the legal shorts...
the rumor about a march just sounds like a basher tactic.. no i'm not accusing you of bashing, i'm just saying i've heard this claim before in another stock, that i was NOT in ever....
we know there were FTD's, we know that many other companies have them too...

I don't think this was very smart at all. Why does he have to do this? Come on Rufus.
"I know the storm is strong and we may suffer some damage but we will still be standing strong at the end. I have worked long and hard to form and build this corporation, and I will not stand by and let illegal market activities prevent us from our goals. Our corporation is the model corporation and will be the beginning of a new market place. Be careful out there in the market; try not to feed the beast unless forced too. I would also like to thank each and every one of you for your prayers in these trying times, and may GOD bless each of you."
