With only 30 days to find the real killer…
Rick and girlfriend Laura risk their lives tracking key suspects who had motives to kill…
Rick and girlfriend Laura risk their lives tracking key suspects who had motives to kill…
Hooray for Hollywood
Gotta love Hollywood and its take on reality. Sometimes my PI-husband and I watch a movie starring a fictional private eye and we laugh at the implausibility of a situation. To be fair, some movies get PIs right, but sometimes they set up a scenario that's more dramatic than realistic and we [...]Continue Reading →
We were on surveillance yesterday, parked in front of a house for sale located across the street from the real house we were surveilling. Residential neighborhoods are tough places to conduct surveillances because most people know their neighbors and the vehicles they drive, so a PI in a strange vehicle can really stick out. If [...]Continue Reading →
We don't handle that many infidelity cases anymore. Our choice. Why? Because besides being depressing, they're often physically grueling. Trust me, sitting for hours in a car watching an apartment/house/exercise club/etc. can be exhausting. Sounds easy, but it's not. You can't let your attention slip, your back is aching from sitting there for so long, [...]Continue Reading →

While driving home last night, I heard one of my favorite bands from a long-ago era: The Flying Burrito Brothers (for those unfamiliar with this band, they were a bunch of cosmic country dudes headed by Gram Parsons, the musician who also first discovered Emmylou Harris).

What is it like being a married private-eye team? In the ten years experience my husband and I owned a private detective agency, we found it to be fun. These days, my husband is focused on his law practice, and I on my writing (although I still occasionally take a P.I. case), and although [...]Continue Reading →

The Zen Man website is all about The Zen Man book, a medium-boiled, but not light on the humor, mystery featuring Rick and Laura, the 21st century equivalent of Hammett's PI team Nick and Nora. Although Rick and Laura share senses of humor and noses for sniffing out trouble like their counterparts, they're [...]Continue Reading →
"Great humor. Great dialogue. Author did a great job of establishing the relationship between Rick and Laura. It never overshadowed the mystery, but it made the book truly multi-dimensional."
~New York Times best-selling author Dorien Kelly
"A fantastic read from start to finish. Reminded me a great deal of the works of Robert Crais and Robert B Parker."
~MacKenzie Brown
"A real page turner. I enjoyed this book full of suspense and surprises. I have never read this author before but will look for her next surprise."

Fractal Cowl
Fractal Cowl is a double-knit cowl in two colors; the double-knitting makes it warm and cozy even though it's made from sock- or sport-weight yarn. It's reversible, so if you make stripes or use a color-changing yarn for one of the two colors, it's like having two different cowls!
Size: At the given gauge, the cowl is 21 inches in circumference and 7 inches tall. This should fit most teens and adults. The size can be adjusted by changing gauge.
Difficultly: This is double-knit pattern suitable for people who have never double-knit before. Instructions for double-knitting are included in the pattern (as are links to external video tutorials). The pattern includes no shaping and is worked in the round.
Double-knitting is a slightly esoteric knitting skill, but in my opinion easier than other colorwork techniques like stranded knitting and intarsia.
Yarn: The original was knit in Sanguine Gryphon Bugga!, using 50 grams of a background color and 12 different 5-gram miniskeins as the contrast color. Any sock- or sport-weight yarn should be suitable for this pattern.
The pattern is given in chart form.
Fractal: I don't know the name of this fractal (if you do -- please tell!). But the last image shows two iterations of the process that produces the fractal. The boundary on the cowl between the two colors is the result of three iterations of this process.

The authors review the evidence for the efficacy of the sodium amytal
interview with particular reference to psychiatric emergencies and rapid
assessment and treatment. Amytal interviews have a valid role in the
assessment and initial management of catatonia, hysterical stupor, and
unexplained muteness as well as in distinguishing between depressive,
schizophrenic, and organic stuporous states. Valid therapeutic indications
include the abreaction of traumatic neurosis, recovery of memory in amnesic

The Dodgers return to Camelback Ranch this afternoon for the very last day game at Glendale. After today's game, the Dodgers only have two more home games at Camelback Ranch. Oddly enough they are both at night. We are only ten days away from opening day! I can't wait to get back to normal regular season schedule. These afternoon games every day grow tiresome.
I;m not going to talk about the shortstop situation or Hanley's thumb today, because it's just going to piss me off. Seriously though, they need to stop holding the WBC during the middle of spring training. It's so retarded. You know what really makes my blood boil? We were soooooo close to having the entire lineup intact for opening day for once. When was the last time that happened!? Pray nobody else gets hurt. let's talk about something positive for now.
In other news, Zack Greinke, and Chad Billingsley both have been cleared by the Dodger medical staff. Greinke if you remember, threw about 43 pitches in a simulated game. Greinke should be healthy and ready to go for opening week. I am hearing talk of an April 5th debut, but we'll see. Bills is nursing a sore finger he bruised during bunt attempt drills. Both pitchers are fine and shouldn't miss anymore time on the mound. So good news on that front!
The Dodgers played in their annual Christina Taylor-Green Memorial foundation game against the Cubs at Tucson yesterday afternoon. The Dodgers were able to hold off a late Chicago comeback to win by a score of 5-4. Stephen Fife made the start for the Dodgers and picked up the win. He impressed everyone by working 6 innings and allowing two earned runs on seven hits, while whiffing three and walking none. Fife recorded nine ground-outs, which is par for the course with him. Remember what I said before about Fife? I don't care how you get guys out, as long as you do! Fife was getting those ground-outs. The Fifer was followed by Blake Johnson, and Scott White. White tried his best to give away the game, but was able to wiggle out of danger in the ninth frame.
The offensive star of the game for the Dodgers was Alex Castellanos who belted his fourth home run of the spring, a three-run shot which gave the Dodgers the lead for good. The Cubs had taken the lead first on a Brent Liilibridge RBI single which scored Jhair's brother Scott Hairston, and a solo home run from Starlin Castro. The Dodgers scored their first run on a Mark Ellis RBI single in the bottom of the third, and then in the bottom of the fourth, Castellanos slugged his three-run shot, which put the Dodgers ahead 4-2. Scott Feldman singled home Lillibridge in the fifth to cut the Dodger lead to 4-3. The Dodgers would add an insurance run the following frame on a C.J. Retherford run scoring single. The Dodgers scored five runs on eight hits, with three extra base hits including a Matt Kemp triple. The Dodgers are now 10-14-3 this spring, in Cactus League play.
Dodgers Lineup vs. RedsCrawford DH Gordon 6 Hairston 7 Gonzalez 3 Cruz 5 Puig 8 Herrera 9 A.J. Ellis 2 Amezaga 4
Mike Leake vs. Clayton Kershaw
Only four regulars in the lineup? Ok Don, whatever. It's not like it's ten days until opening day or anything. What do we need the regulars to pay every day for? We will have a Puig alert this afternoon, as the big slugger makes the start in center field, with Hairston and Herrera in the corners. Dee Gordon gets the start at shortstop. We better get used to that.
Clayton Kershaw will get the start for the Dodgers this afternoon, and the Reds will counter with Mike Leake. Don't forget this is the Dodger's last home afternoon game of the spring, so don't miss out. You can catch the game at 1:05 PM Pacific time. Go Blue!

Animal Rescue, Inc. has dozens of feral "working" cats ready for your farm or plot of land!
If you have a barn, detached building or the like, you should have one or two feral kitties for your homestead. Feral cats provide mouse control – in fact, their presence alone keeps those mice away!
Those who are interested in adopting a working cat should be able to provide fresh food and water daily, and a safe shelter. Those who are interested should be willing to keep the cat(s) in a large cage for two weeks while they acclimate to their surroundings.
All of our working cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and treated for parasites. Please note that these cats may become tame overtime but are typically weary of their human counterparts. We do not adopt friendly kitties to the outside as they would prefer an indoor only home.
The cost of a feral kitty is donation only. We typically can allow you to choose cats by gender, but not other distinguishing characteristics such as color.
If you're interested in adopting a feral kitty or two, please call Ashley at 717-993-3232x223!

Welcome to Laser Magic
Laser Magic™ has been providing non-invasive body contouring procedures to Denver residents for years.
Laser Magic is dedicated to improving the lives and self-esteem of all our patients by using the latest modern technology.
If your interested in a regaining some of your youth back by smoothing out those deep wrinkles or fine lines, reversing the hyper-pigmented areas or those extra pockets of fat, then let our professionals assist you. Our trained Laser technician professionals use a number of revolutionary techniques to provide both traditional and newly developed body contouring technologies. We dedicate ourselves to providing a range of non-invasive procedures to help you look and feel the way you desire.
Take advantage of our Zerona Body Slimming Laser treatment that fights to reduce fat. Unlike popular invasive weight loss surgeries, ZERONA® patients are treated externally. This innovative treatment provides results without the dangers associated with surgery, allowing our patients to remain active during treatment. The ZERONA® treatment protocol utilizes Erchonia®'s patented and clinically proven low-level laser technology.
For wrinkle reduction we offer the revolutionary Matrix Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Repair treatment! Our Matrix Fractional CO2 Laser helps to repair and restore your skin to an age-resistant beauty level. As people age, their collagen production begins to decline which leads to the breakdown of the skin's underlying support structure and causes wrinkles to develop. We can help you get smooth out both the fine lines and the wrinkles with several treatment options.
Daily exposure to the sun's UV rays and other environmental elements will cause the skin to become discolored and premature wrinkles may begin to emerge; or may have surfaced already. Treatments with our Intense Pulsed Light will help reduce the hyperpigmentation, the blemishes, or a specific skin condition. The skin will have a smoother tighter texture and pigmentation problems will begin to diminish.
Laser Magic offers the Light Force Pro Laser that treats conditions like Onychomycosis (an unsightly nail fungus) and help reduce inflammation in painful joints such as, carpal tunnel, arthritis or migraines.
Additional to the variety of non-invasive surgical procedures provided at Laser Magic, we also offer expert waxing procedures. Our professionals perform our waxing treatments safely, privately, and professionally. Remove the unwanted hair by Laser Magic today!

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.
An incredibly complex and lifted bouquet of ripe golden pear skin, peach, savory toasted ground almonds and white nectarine. This wine is showing multiple layers of fruit and subtle class driven French oak. The result of very low yielding vines matched with subtle winemaking preserves the richness and intensity of fruit. The palate displays a full bodied vibrant wine on the entry, with a creaminess and intense purity of fruit. Pear, nectarine and peaches are the main fruit flavors followed by a subtle sweet spice and almonds. The
flavors are seamlessly long with a wonderful natural acid finish.
"Still pale quartz-green; the finesse of Art Series Chardonnay when it is young is every bit as enjoyable as is the complexity it gains after six or seven years in bottle (under screwcap), its future still assured. We know that good bottles from the mid-1980s are still glorious, although most are now a shadow of their former selves. What we don't really know is how long the wines such as this live and flourish under screwcap."
96 Points
Australian Wine Companion
"100% of the 2008 Art Series Chardonnay juice was barrel fermented in new French barriques with the lees stirred every two to three weeks over the 11 months. The nose is typically ripe and expressive, displaying pronounced notes of guava, ripe apricot and cantaloupe over toasted cashews, brioche, cedar and manuka honey. The palate is as rich and concentrated as it ever is, yet it's not quite as weighty as it has been in some recent vintages and is showing more elegance this year. Medium-full bodied, it has a lovely creaminess to the texture, refreshingly crisp acid and a very long finish. Delicious now, it should cellar to 2021+. "
95 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Silky, round and deftly balanced to play its pear, apricot, grapefruit and nutmeg flavors against a refined structure, casting it all into the long, enticing finish, which sails on impressively. Remarkable for its deftness, not its obvious power. Drink now through 2020. 500 cases imported."
93 Points
Wine Spectator
"Light, bright yellow. Fresh citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complicated by white flowers, iodine, toasty lees and butter. Smoky, penetrating orange and pear flavors are complemented by deeper suggestions of honey and sweet butter, with a firm mineral element adding spine. Finishes with very good breadth and length, the smoke and iodine notes repeating. This wine has a great track record for aging, as a recent bottle of 2001 showed; it was spicy, intensely floral and deep in orchard fruit flavors, with only a hint of the nuttiness that I expect in decade-old chardonnay. It has years of life ahead of it.

Effective 1/23/2013, Quadzilla Performance Technologies has gone out of business. All units will be sold without manufacturer support and or warranty. Units purchased through XDP will be covered by our 30 day satisfaction guarantee. XDP will no longer offer extended warranties on Quadzilla Performance Products.
iPhone or iPod sold separately.
Quadzilla has worked long and hard to bring you a combination of the finest engine control system in the world and the most user friendly, highest quality and sexiest display ever produced.*
That's right, you will now be able to run your Adrenaline module with your iTouch or iPhone using state of the art wireless communications developed specifically for the Adrenaline by Quadzilla.
In the past the Adrenaline has always been touted as one of the most feature rich, most powerful and safest engine control systems available. With our USB capabilities, overloads of data and unmatched user defined controls, the Adrenaline is in a league of its own. We will admit however that our data displays and controllers were not quite as developed as our engine system. By utilizing the iPhone or iTouch platform we now have the absolute best display system ever introduced to the performance world.
So how does it work? Without changing a thing on the Adrenaline we developed a specialized wireless module that gives you the needed link between your module and iPhone or iTouch. Then you simply download our iQuad app for FREE and you are ready to go!
All the same great features and functions of the Adrenaline/Pulse are still available, but now in high resolution color!
Adrenaline modules will be sold as a wireless ready package or you can choose to purchase the wireless module individually for existing Adrenaline modules.**
Don't have an iPhone or iTouch? Don't worry almost everyone has a store within a few miles that sell them. Even with the cost of a new iTouch or iPhone the Adrenaline still does not cost more than any similar product and actually less in many cases! Also don't forget that when you get your iPhone or iTouch you get much more than a dedicated display. Depending on your choice you also get built in GPS, iPod, Email, Camera, Video Camera, Phone Service, and access to over 1,000,000 other apps that will do whatever you desire!
No other product can compete with the features of the Adrenaline/iQuad!!
* This product is still in development. Actual screen images may vary.
** A free software update will be required for any current Adrenaline owners upgrading to the iQuad with Wireless Module.
* = Requires additional purchase of Fuel Pressure Kit.
** = Only available on 98-00 models.

Switch to Forum Live View Separation of church and state.
|3 years ago :: Feb 27, 2012 - 3:31PM #51
The only reason I can see for opposition to the concept of separation of church and state is the desire to impose the opponent's religious beliefs on society. What supporters of this desire to establish such precepts seem to forget is that the authority that establishes them can at any time just as easily establish the tenets of any other religion in it's place.
"It is always to be taken for granted, that those who oppose an equality of rights never mean the exclusion should take place on themselves." -- Thomas Paine: Dissertations on First Principles of Government (July 7, 1795)

RIHANNA dropped jaws in a sexy, plunging Giorgio Armani gown at the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday. See for yourself:
Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive" strutted her stuff on the red carpet in a revealing black Giorgio Armani custom gown, which featured a daring neckline, an open back, and a central split.
Rihanna paired the drop-dead sexy dress with black Christian Loubotin heels and accessorized with a gold Jimmy Choo clutch, a large gold cuff and gold snake armlet fron Neil Lane jewelry, a collection of gold rings, and layers of long, thin-chained necklaces.
The newly blonde singer completed the look with frizzy curls, kohl-rimmed eyes, and pale pink lips.
We love this look—simple, but super sexy. RiRi definitely looked amazing!

ATLANTA (AP) - A new report shows that deaths of younger teen drivers increased sharply in the first six months of last year, reversing a decade-long trend.
In Georgia, however, fewer teens died during the time period. There were five deaths among 16- and 17-year-old drivers in the state during the first six months of 2012. That's down from six deaths during the first half of 2011.
The report was released Tuesday by the Governors Highway Safety Association.
Nationally, there were 107 drivers aged 16 who died between January and June of last year, compared to 86 drivers during the first half of 2011.
Twenty-five states reported increases, 17 had decreases, and eight states and the District of Columbia reported no change in the number of 16- and 17-year-old driver deaths.

A Coffee at Starbucks Will Be Sweeter for Google
Ranu is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) has always remained a jewel for investors. Recently, it announced robust third quarter earnings for fiscal year 2013, the best performance in its 42-year history. Starbucks reported net revenue of $3.7 billion, an increase of 13% over last year. It recorded growth in Starbucks store sales across all the regions, opening 341 new stores in the quarter. EPS grew 28% over the same period last year to $0.55 per share, the second highest increase ever in the company's history. Additionally, its profit increased 25% thanks to same-store sales, which rose 8% globally and 9% in the US. Apart from the financials of last quarter, the following points also indicate that the growth of the company is far from over.
Google in, AT&T out
A sip at Starbucks will now taste sweeter for Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), but not for AT&T (NYSE: T). To further enhance its in-store services, Starbucks recently signed a significant deal with Google and Level 3 Communications, to replace AT&T as the provider of Wi-Fi service at thousands of U.S. Starbucks locations. The new Wi-Fi service is 10 times faster than what AT&T offered. This will lure more customers, considering that many customers visit Starbucks not just to enjoy their favorite drinks, but also to use the free wireless internet for work, study, or play.
The deal will provide service to around 7,000 Starbucks stores across the U.S. It means that AT&T is expected to lose 7,000 wireless subscribers, whereas Google can expect an addition of 7,000 new subscribers within the 18-month rollout period starting in August. AT&T currently provides 1.5 Mbps Wi-Fi speeds at Starbucks shops, but the new Wi-Fi speed will be comparable to 4G LTE mobile broadband services, which averages between 5 Mbps to 10 Mbps.
AT&T has good business relations with Starbucks, and markets its 4G LTE network as the most reliable and the fastest in the country. In its second quarter, AT&T delivered robust earnings. It added more than 2 million new wireline and wireless high-speed broadband connections. Total wireless revenue was up 5.7% year over year to $17.3 billion. It reported 551,000 wireless postpaid net additions, the best second quarter postpaid figure in four years. It also added about 1.2 million new smartphone subscribers. Its U-verse service now represents 51% of wireline consumer revenue, up from 41% in the same quarter last year.
Meanwhile, this is a smart move for Google. The deal will allow Google Fiber-equipped cities to enjoy 100-times faster download speeds in their local Starbucks compared to the current internet speed. It will act as a start-up for the expected long-term partnership between Google and Starbucks in the development of the next-generation Starbucks Digital Network. The duo currently provides access to news and entertainment from sources like the Wall Street Journal, Apple's iTunes, USA Today, ESPN, Yahoo! Entertainment, Starbucks' own entertainment arm, etc.
In addition, Google's Android platform looks strong. It partnered with Netflix to improve the resolution of video streaming quality on Android 4.3., which will support the launch of the new Nexus 7 as well. To further accelerate its Android platform, Google is expecting more than 70 million Android tablet activations by the end of 2013, in comparison to the 10 million tablet activations it achieved during fiscal year 2012. The amazing performance of Google Play Store, with 1 million apps and 50 billion downloads, will support the company in achieving this expectation.
For tea lovers
Millions of people drink coffee, but for those who like tea, Starbucks is still a good choice. To expand its tea business, Starbucks acquired Teavana Holdings, a specialty tea retailer, for around $620 million in late 2012. This makes the 300-unit Teavana retail chain a wholly owned subsidiary of Starbucks.
Moreover, Starbucks now has an opportunity to create a unique retail experience in the $40 billion tea category. It will add tea bars to Teavana stores that will serve handcrafted beverages. The acquisition complements Starbucks' already existing core tea business, Tazo tea, which it sells in stores as well as across grocery retailers. Furthermore, Starbucks plans to create a two-tiered business, where both the Tazo and Teavana branded products will co-exist.
International expansion
To expand its coffee business in international markets, Starbucks announced plans to open 100 new coffee shops in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia in the coming three to four years. Starbucks also has significant potential in China. This year, Starbucks spent $1.2 billion for coffee shops in China, capitalizing on the Chinese people's affinity towards coffee and their favorite beverage, tea. Currently, there are around 700 stores in China. By 2014, Starbucks anticipates China to be its second largest market outside the U.S. It is planning to open a total of 1500 stores in more than 70 Chinese cities by 2015.
Investors' take
The future of Google and Starbucks looks more impressive due to the new strategic alliance. Google will also benefit from its accelerating Android platform. Both these companies have reported strong financial earnings in their recent quarters. With continued international expansion and an expanding tea business, Starbucks is strong bait for your portfolio.
Its share price has doubled over the last 12 months. Seeing this, analysts expect Starbucks will increase revenue by 12% in the next two years. I recommend buying both Starbucks and Google for long-term growth.
Although AT&T has shown strong earnings in its second quarter, the new deal between Google and Starbucks will result in a heavy loss of customers and potential revenue for AT&T. As a result, I recommend holding this stock.

Love may be the Brooklyn way. So are the now hip and cool neighborhoods to live in, like the tree-lined blocks and beautiful brownstones of Fort Greene. It has a lot of space and it's near Downtown Brooklyn, transportation, and the park. A lot of young professionals, artists, and families are relocating here. It's a hot market. Because of that, rental prices are going up.
Sarah Burke, director of sales for Douglas Elliman Real Estate in Brooklyn, says, for instance, $2,600 a month will get you a large pre-war one bedroom in a brownstone in Fort Greene, compared to, say, Bushwick where for the same price will get you a two-bedroom walkup.
This is a cool place to live. It has great bars and restaurants, and of course the beautiful brownstones. My cousin lives here. I'm looking too, since I have to be out of my apartment in the city April 1.
But there are other hot areas, including Williamsburg and Greenpoint, which have more luxury apartments and condos with much higher prices.
You can still find deals in Manhattan, such as on the Upper East Side, although the bargains are mostly by Second Avenue, where the subway construction is going on.
Let's not forget Queens (Astoria and Forest Hills) and parts of the Bronx and Staten Island that have good places to live.
It's a tough call. For now, I guess I'll just have to keep on looking.

In Love! I just bought this dress for my upcoming office Christmas party and to say I'm happy is a vast understatement! I'm not a person that wears dresses so the fact that I didn't want to take it off says something big for me. The fit is perfect and most of all flattering for my plus sized shape. October 17, 2013
I Love It!! Two of my bridesmaid bought this dress and I love it. One in canary yellow and the other rose petal pink. And they are so cute with a black sash. December 31, 2012
Soo happy!!! I chose this dress, in the color apple, for two of my three bridesmaids . It is gorgeous on them. Getting married in three days and can't wait. Def would suggest this dress. looks good on plus size girls. Neither of my bridesmaid went to get fitted, but thanks to other reviews regarding how most dresses typically run small, I went ahead and order the dresses two sizes bigger then their normal sizes and the dresses fit great. December 19, 2012
Beautiful This dress is so nice! It looks really good on. I had ordered one for my maid of honor and another for my other bridesmaid. The one for my maid of honor was too small, it was a 16 so I gave her the 18 and it fit just fine. She had said she needed a 16, so maybe get a size bigger. I ended up keeping the 16 for myself as a party dress because I loved it so much. I got them in the truffle color and it looks even more rich in person. Great dress, great price, great store!!

General Norman Johnson, lead singer of the soul vocal trio Chairmen of the Board, died Wednesday at age 67.
His group was best known for the song "Give Me Just a Little More Time," a favorite of Carolina beach music and shag dancing aficionados. It's a defining song of the Southern soul sub-genre. The track climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard singles chart in 1970. The group would release three more Top 40 hits in 1970, but that was the end of the Chairmen's chart run.
Johnson was born in Virginia but started his career in Raleigh, N.C., with another beach music phenomenon, the Showmen ("It Will Stand"), before relocating to Detroit in the late 1960s. The Chairmen of the Board came together there, but the group later flew south, where there was always demand for the singers who created beach music's classics.
According to the Charolotte Observer, Johnson's bandmate Ken Knox says that the band moved south in the early '80s. Johnson settled in Atlanta, but Knox came to Charlotte, which is the headquarters of the group's record label.
Though he's probably best known for "Give Me Just a Little More Time," Johnson won a Grammy for best R&B song in 1970 for writing Clarence Carter's Top 5 hit "Patches," a hard-luck tearjerker about growing up poor.
For more on General Johnson and the Chairmen of the Board, visit the band's website.
Listen to the Chairmen of the Board's signature hit.

We are so saddened by General's death. What happened?! We were also so sad and disgusted by Ken Knox's interview today in which he left out the other main part of the Chairmen, for 40 years, Danny Woods! He took the whole interview and turned it into something about himself, rather than it being about General dying and the contribution General and his partner, Danny Woods, made to the beach music community. What a jerk of Ken Knox.
October 14th, 2010
5:17 pm
I must agree. The entire beach music family has been rocked to the core by this sad news. How horrible one member can be in averting the spotlight from the real honoree and shining it on themselves? I extend my condolences to the family of General Johnson. I have seen them play so many times I feel like I know them. The Chairman of the board has brought Easter to Myrtle Beach for years and I loved to go to the House of Blues to see them. I can't believe they won't be back. I know that the music will live on and hope that the remaining members, Danny Woods & Ken Knox, will make every effort to continue what General Johnson has so passionately started. Even though I haven't seen anything about Danny Woods anywhere through this I am sure he's suffering along with the rest of us who loved the General.

I remember back in the early 80s when I lived in Greensboro, NC. going to see The Chairmen at a club called "The Boondocks"! They would perform there on a rotation along with The Embers, Clifford Curry and many, many more. They were in their heyday back then and General always mingled with the crowd between sets. Their music will live forever! RIP General Norman Johnson.

Lost a legend for sure. Beach music won't be the same without Norman Johnson. I would hope the group could somehow hold together. That would be a great tribute to the main man. General Johnson will be missed. RIP friend. Thoughts and prayers go out to your family

I worked as a sound tech in some clubs around Wilmington, NC and saw the band many times. Very professional and a crowd favorite guaranteed to pack the place.
I also saw Danny and Kenny do some gigs without The General and they were good, but it really cooked when The General was commanding.
My sympathies go to his family and friends. We lost a star.
October 14th, 2010
7:13 pm
As past club owners, Steve and I can say without a moment's hesitation…General Johnson and the others were our very favorites and the crowd they drew (usually 450-600) loved them. I remember one event where the General was so sick and was feeling absolutely miserable and so I told him that if he wasn't feeling up to it we could cancel the show for a future date…it was his call. He just hung his head down in the dressing room and said he'd make-it not to worry. They announced his name and immediately he stood up…put on a smile and did the best show we ever had throughout the years. The man was a total 'PRO' and I always had respect for General, Ken and Danny…and the band and although not in the business…still consider them 'family'. We'll miss you General and yet, we'll all be together again one day…probably joining in to 'Carolina Girls'. Ken and Danny, our thoughts are with you on this sad occasion…and I'm sure I speak for all the old DDInn crowd.

My husband and I have such great memories of General Norman Johnson in the Myrtle Beach area! For 30 years we have enjoyed his music and shows. "Patches" is always listed as a hit for Clarence Carter but it only took one time of hearing the General perform it live to know who really owned it! It didn't get any better. He will be missed! God bless his family and friends!

to jason, please until you understand the whole story dont be quick to engage in something you know nothing about. Ken and Danny have done a great job continuing the legacy since January. I know these guys personally and never in any world would it be about just one of them, they were always a team and that legacy will be in the hearts of millions. There was a great loss today and lets focus on that and not fueling a fire that you know nothing about.
RIP General, you were and always will be a great friend

was a stage hand during some of the general's myrtle beach show's…he was a great man…never hesitated to shake your hand and ask you how you were doing…to me he was like the elvis of beach music…he will be missed.
October 14th, 2010
8:19 pm
Thanks for the GREAT comments MARC!!! And to Jason…..it saddens me to see you jump to conclusions when you are not "in the know" about General's personal life and the very close relationship he and Ken had and Danny, too. It's amazing that Ken has the peace of mind to conduct an interview less than 24 hours after his BEST friend passed. Let's embrace the Chairmen with peace and love and not snippy remarks. General is smoozing with the "Beach Music Angels" who have gone before him like Joe Pope of The Tams. RIP General!! You were an AMAZING entertainer!!!

I knew Norman in the Showmen days (Mid 60's) when our band the Impacts traveled with them as their back up band for a while. I can tell you the Showmen brought the house down and blew the doors off a club and if you did not see Norman (General) in those days he was something to watch work a crowd on stage. I left the music biz in the early 70's but not before Mike Branch became a friend, he booked our band (Cannonball). Mike did the major Beach Music festivals before his plane crash and death left us all missing a very important part of the New beach music movement that was bringing new and younger people into it in the 70's that are still around today. When Mike and Norman teamed up and started the record label it was the best thing that ever happened to Beach Music in my opinion. Mike left us over 30 years ago and now it seems Norman "General" Johnson has left us but he has also left us with his Songs…and as he once said something like "I can't do anything else…I can write a song", and I might add some real GOOD ONES! http://ODShag.com

So sad!!!! I so loved them! I saw the group numerous times here at the beach and also in NC. He always had a smile on his face and performed and looked at you as if he was performing just for you. There will never be another Beach Music entertainer to touch him. You will be greatly missed! Thank you for your great music and memories until we meet again.

Beach music will live on as long as there is a guy and a girl and a moon and the surf and the sand. However, General Johnson to me is first and foremost an entertainer. I was lucky enough (or cursed enough) to have worked with him a few times. I'm telling you right now that never in my life have I seen an entertainer like Norman Johnson. You could not pry him offstage with the Jaws of Life rescue tool. If there was ever a born entertainer, if there as ever a gifted entertainer…it was the General.

Over the years, General called me up on stage numerous times for the Funky Chicken competition. He, Danny and Ken belted out sheer delight to thousands for decades! Heaven is movin' and groovin' now…

I worked with General, Danny and Ken for quite a while. They were and will be, truly one of the great group of entertainers ever. All you had to do was go to one of their shows and you felt good. Their energy took over your whole being. You couldn't help but to feel alive and energized. You just had to take part in it with them. Ken and General spoke several times everyday and were almost like the same person. Danny is one of the most caring people around. They will survive, and continue to entertain the Beach Music crowd for as long as there is a Beach Music crowd.

If you had a clue as to what is going on behind the scenes with Chairman of the Board you would not have posted such a stupid comment but obviously you do not. Ken has been on the phone every other day with General and most weeks every day with him . You know why, because General trust Ken and knows who will take care of business. He has spent countless hours doing exactly what General has asked him to do. Why don't you call Danny Woods up and ask him how often he has communicated with General. You know why Ken is doing interviews because that's what General wanted. These 2 guys are brothers and share more than you can imagine. Get your facts straight before you start spouting off things you know nothing about.

I have had a tear in my eye since hearing the news this morning on the Bob and Sherri show. For 30+ years I have loved The Chairmen of the Board and have followed their music. No beach music collection is complete without their music! He will be greatly and sadly missed! Rest in peace General Johnson.

Jason, I listened to the interview on Surf Radio too and I'm not sure what you thought you heard. Ken's comments were about General – how much he loved his fans and the work he did. Ken also said General was his brother and hero. How pathetic you had to disrespect this sad occasion with such a negative and hurtful comment. I think it was pretty brave of Ken to do an interview when his best friend had just died. Do you have any idea how hard that was to do, while maintaining composure? The story is about honoring a true musical genius, legend and friend – General Johnson. Not about Danny or the other band members.
October 15th, 2010
9:39 am
To those making horrible comments about Kenny, take a lesson from the posts directed toward you here and hush. Kenny did not make anything about him any more than anyone else that spoke yesterday about how this man's passing had affected them. And why shouldn't he…General was like Kenny's brother, best friend, hero and at times, father. He was the most important man in Kenny's life…and yet he cared enough to get on the phone and take care of the fans who were hungry for news and for hearing directly from General's "camp" to help aid in their grief. How well would you have handled that situation less than 24 hours after the event, especially one so unexpected? I have known them for years and to my ears, all I heard was the pure, raw pain of loss and devastation in Kenny's voice. I've never heard him sound like that in all these years and I can't even imagine what he's feeling. He's human like the rest of us and he's hurting. As for Danny, I love Danny and I know that he's also hurting, but everyone knew that the Surf was the place to go and I have no doubt that the invitation was extended to Danny as well. He could have talked just as easily as Kenny did. He chose not to. Best to take the why question to him, not beat Kenny up here for being human and doing his best.

I was so saddened to hear about the General. He was what beach music was all about! An amazing performer. I saw the last show the Chairman of the Board performed at the Pavilion at Myrtle Beach before the Pavilion closed. I also followed them when I was younger with my Best Friend Lisa Helms Hudson around Charlotte, Rock Hill and Myrtle Beach. What a great loss to the beach music community! The General will be forever in our hearts and soul!!!

Danny Woods called me ten-minutes after General passed away, and gave me the sad news about General's death. I started as a rodey with Danny when I was fourteen … growing up in Detroit, and continued as an occasional rodey when The Chairmen of the Board was formed. All three of these gentlemen are the greatest guys you could ever want to meet or be around. It was always a treat to talk with General. General, Danny, Ken and I shared so many laughs over the years. Once in a restaurant in Raleigh, N.C., I thought we were going to get put out, because we talked and laughed so hard about the old days in Detroit. General's knowledge about the music industry was massive!
I got my start with them as a rodey, and because of this opportunity; I have promoted some of the biggest names in show business. I will never forget the time General asked me to come to a meeting with him, Ken and Danny … that was the day I graduated from rodey to respected Music Promoter. General, you will be sadly missed by so many. I will always be grateful to General, Danny and Ken for giving me my start in the music industry … it took me out of those tough gangs in Detroit.

Kenny gave that interview very shortly after Generals`s death. Most people wouldn`t have their thoughts together on such short notice so give him crdit for trying to reach out to their fans. It was not a preparedd statement as in most cases. He couldn`t cover everything little thing even 2 weeks later.
I called Clarence Carter yesterday & told him slowly, & gave him time to reflect. We then talked about Solomon Burke passing last Sunday in an Amsterdam airport at 70. The we came back to General. He told me to get back to him w arrangements & said to tell everybody that he "would take care of ol Patches as long as I can". I told him to take care, hung up & cried. We are losing these great people everyday it seems. We are truly a blesseed generation & should realize that. I`m sure there will be more about General`s passign & tributes & all. A Celebration of Life n& Love is what is needed here instead of a snipe fest .

Such as loss he and the group were great .But he was absolutely the basement of beach music starting with the Showman .all of their hits were because of his special voice .i apppreciate the gift he gave us all.If you ever had the chance to talk to him he was down to earth and very nice.We lost a very good man.

It's hard to remember a time when I didn't sing along with the Chairmen of the Board. From Lake Norman to North Myrtle Beach and more, I always sought them out. Besides being talented beyond belief, they were approachable and "real" to their fans. Some of the most wonderful times of my life have been "earmaked" by their music. It transcends generations. My daughters love them as much as I do. General Norman Johnson was talented beyond the recognition he received. His legend will live on. I am saddened by the comments that have been made by fans who are critical of Danny and Ken. You don't turn on "family" and they were General's brothers. This is not the time to be judging anyone. Would he want that? No, absolutely not. Let's remember General Johnson and the Chairmen of the Board for the exciting music they created and the good times. THAT is a tribute…NOT criticism. May comfort come to his wife and children and may the memories sustain them. Rest in peace, General…you will be missed.
October 16th, 2010
12:04 pm
How dare you!!!! It is you that is turning the focus elsewhere, not Ken. By your false statement you are disrespecting General, you are disrespecting General's best and most loyal friend of over 40 years, and most of all you are disrespecting his family in their time of grief. All of us were blessed enough to experience such a great talent, a legend in our lifetime but to his family (and I consider Ken to be a part of that family) he was a husband, a father, a grandfather, and yes, a best friend. They are all hurting deeply and you need to respect that and let them grieve in peace…..if you are any kind of man at all you owe this family, this friend, and even the fans an appology. Remember….when you are pointing the finger at Ken calling him a jerk there are 4 fingers pointing back at YOU!

My friend and I used to go to Beach Blast in Charlotte every year and we pretty much went to see Chairmen of the Board everywhere they played. They were playing at the Ramada Inn in Hickory one night and some friends and I went to see them. One of my friends got a little tipsy-well a little more than tipsy and fell out of her chair. I just remember Danny Woods came flying off of the stage and picked her up and sat her back in the chair. It was so funny-we were of course young and stupid but they were our favorite beach band-we loved the General and the band. We will all miss him so much but the General and the band's great music will live on in our hearts forever..
