On a January morning in 2013, Phyllis Handford and Sandra Moss donned blue blazers and pitched their vision to a crowd of west Charlotte leaders.
For years theyd been trying to turn their small private school, StudentFirst Academy, into a charter that would reach more students. It had won praise from such leaders as then-Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory and then-Mayor Pro Tem Patrick Cannon, and recently earned state approval for a $3 million startup budget to become a public school.
Handford and Moss talked about a school where impoverished children would flourish in small classes led by master teachers. There would be arts and athletics, healthy meals and Latin classes.
It is all about opening our doors to an academic wonderland thats being funded by the government, Handford said.
Less than four months after StudentFirst charter school opened, those dreams collapsed amid allegations of mismanagement, nepotism and financial irregularities. Overdue bills had the school on the brink of bankruptcy. Students were going without textbooks, losing teachers and taking long naps during the day, consultants reported.
The schools board of directors fired Handford and Moss, who are now suing the board they once recruited. Reached at her home, Handford said the allegations about her and her longtime deputy are fiction, like the National Enquirer, but said their attorney advised her and Moss not to talk.
Board members have hired a new head of school and are trying to salvage the school year for the 314 K-8 students enrolled at the school on Tuckaseegee Road in west Charlotte. Academic extras that enticed families have been sacrificed to keep StudentFirst solvent.
Good things are happening within classrooms, but we havent addressed all the students needs, board Chairman Victor Mack said recently. Were feverishly trying to make that happen now.
Board members also face scrutiny and renewed questions from the state. Mack, who holds a doctorate in urban education and is outreach director for UNC Charlottes College of Education, says he unwittingly signed off on a $25,000 raise for Handford without reading her contract. The board accepted her decision to put her husband and son on the payroll knowing it was taboo but not exactly against the law, Mack said.
The boards chairman also hadnt known about Handfords conviction more than a decade ago on misrepresentation to obtain unemployment benefits.
State charter school officials, who forced the StudentFirst board to confront its problems in November, say theyll give the board a chance. The mission providing a rich academic environment for the minority and low-income students who most often struggle in traditional public schools is exactly what charter proponents hope to see as North Carolina expands its roster of charters.
But Joel Medley, director of the N.C. Office of Charter Schools, said last week he did not know about reports that Handford and Moss had transferred money into a separate checking account and spent more than $92,000 that has not been properly documented until a reporter asked about those issues, which are detailed in documents filed in response to Moss and Handfords lawsuit. Nor, Medley said, did he know the board had apparently violated the states Open Meetings Law by holding three secret meetings in December.
StudentFirsts dramatic reversal of fortunes raises questions for state policymakers trying to preserve quality while rolling out some two dozen new charters a year. It also raises a caution for the hundreds of people lining up to run such schools.
Ultimately, Medley said, the buck stops with the board of directors.
A compelling vision
Moss, a physical therapist who was then known as Sandra Gay, and Handford, who had worked in computer programming and personnel, first came together to teach students at home. In 2001 they opened StudentFirst Academy as a low-tuition private school that was supported by donations and the Childrens Scholarship Fund, a charity that helps impoverished children attend private schools.
The K-12 school, located at Midwood Baptist Church in the Plaza Midwood neighborhood, had about 50 students at its peak. Students learned civic engagement and work skills along with academics.
Mayor McCrory, who was elected governor in 2012, wrote a letter to a prospective StudentFirst donor in 2007 offering his full support for a grant. The letter cited students who did internships and community service. The Upper School students receive resounding remarks in their work ethic, professionalism and seriousness, McCrory wrote. He said recently he has only a vague memory of the school.
Handford and Moss are not licensed teachers, but both have worked in education. Besides their StudentFirst work, Moss worked for a local private school and tutoring center, according to her resume.
Handford, 54, has a masters in business administration from Pfeiffer University and is enrolled in an online doctoral program in K-12 educational leadership.
Handford also taught math and SAT prep at a UNCC program designed to prepare students for college.
Thats where she met Mack, who was running the UNCC program. He said when she asked him in 2008 to head a board that would seek to turn StudentFirst into a charter school, it was honestly a no-brainer.
Going public
That was when North Carolina still allowed only 100 charter schools around the state. New applicants competed for the small number of slots when other schools closed.
StudentFirst tried twice and was rejected, Mack said.
The recession shaped the future of StudentFirst. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools closed several schools to save money, and the StudentFirst board asked to lease one.
In 2010, Cannon, who has since been elected mayor, wrote to CMS officials urging them to agree. StudentFirst has rendered an unparalleled service in its community, he wrote.
StudentFirst explored three sites and ended up at Wilson Middle School, near West Mecklenburg High. Payments were only $50 a month, but the school assumed responsibility for maintaining the 1950s building.
By the 2011-12 school year, StudentFirst was, in Macks words, kind of hand-to-mouth. Many students returned to CMS and most of the staff was laid off, the charter application says. In January 2012, the 10 remaining students and a skeleton faculty moved in, and the board began another try at becoming a public school.
By then the charter law had changed. This time there would be no limit on the number of new charters.
A lifeline arrives
In February 2012, StudentFirst Academy submitted a 349-page application to become a charter school in 2013-14. It was among 63 the state received that year.
The application pitched a school for children whose educational prospects are bleak, offering a way to escape the spiral of poverty and crime that currently confronts them.
The application outlined school days that would start at 7:30 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. Although charters arent required to serve meals, StudentFirst promised to do so, saying education needs to occur without the stress of hunger.
The plan called for opening with 432 K-8 students and a staff of 65, pulling in just under $3 million in public money.
The 11-member board of directors submitting the application included Mack, Handford and Moss. One of Handfords sons, Connell Handford Jr., was board treasurer; Moss was secretary. Once the school opened, Phyllis Handford would be head of school and Moss deputy head, while both would remain as voting board members.
In June 2012 the board was invited for interviews with the states Charter School Advisory Council.
Cheryl Turner, director of Charlottes Sugar Creek Charter School, was on that council. She knew that StudentFirst had a good reputation and the application was strong, Turner recalls. Mack and other board members impressed the advisory board.
Gauging the academic success of StudentFirsts private students is difficult. Private schools arent required to report academic data, as public schools are. The StudentFirst charter application gave some charts on Iowa Test of Basic Skills, but with little context on dates or number of students tested. Mostly it emphasized individual success stories.
This time, after more than a year of screening, StudentFirst was among 23 awarded a charter.
High hopes
Tony Proctor was among the parents who came to the old Wilson school to hear the StudentFirst pitch. He and his wife had two children in a CMS magnet school, and they wanted an alternative for their son, who was in kindergarten.
They presented an exciting vision of what the school would be, Proctor said.
Ken Simmons, a retired administrator whose career included stints as principal of West Charlotte High and Crossroads Charter High, heard about StudentFirst through a mutual friend, who arranged a meeting with Handford. He recalls visiting the school in the winter, when it didnt have working heat. Handford, Moss and a handful of staff were hard at work, he says.
Simmons offered his support and in January brought them to speak to the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Forum, a group of civic and political activists working in west Charlotte.
Two board members and four administrators accompanied Handford and Moss to the meeting, which remains in video archives. Board member Deborah Halliday, director of RedSky Gallery Corporate Services, noted her business background: I bring a financial look to the school to keep them on track and keep the monies flowing.
Halliday, who is now the boards treasurer, did not respond to a call for comment.
Moss painted a picture of a school with strong teachers, small classes, lots of motivational programs, out-of-state field trips, foreign language classes, arts enrichment, parent education and healthy food not your typical square pizza and corn dogs. StudentFirst scholars would learn Latin and swimming, have a chance to do yoga and meditate, she said. Moss described a day that runs from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. At 6 oclock at night Im turning lights off, going OK, yall. Bye, babies! They dont want to leave, because it is a home away from home.
Simmons said he and most other participants left excited.
Even as the group worked to open StudentFirst, some were planning expansion. Reshall Williams, who was introduced at that meeting as StudentFirsts director of academics, had applied in August 2012 to open two Miracle Academy charter schools in 2014-15 based on the StudentFirst model. Simmons was on the Miracle Academy board, and Handford created the nonprofit sponsoring the application.
Williams said last week that the Miracle schools were Handfords project, and they just used my name. She said she was briefly employed by StudentFirst but has broken off contact with Handford and Moss, and considers herself a victim. Williams declined to elaborate, saying she has retained an attorney.
Mack says Handford told the StudentFirst board about her plan to create new charters. They urged her to focus on opening StudentFirst, he said, and warned her not to spend any StudentFirst time or money on expansion.
Doubts emerge
Turner, the Sugar Creek director who had helped approve StudentFirsts application, was starting to worry.
Turner said after StudentFirst got its charter, Handford asked to meet with her. She said Handford wanted her to send Sugar Creek staff to set up StudentFirsts lunch program and computer system. Turner was taken aback. That was Handfords job.
After a 2 1/2 hour meeting, Turner said she concluded that Handford wasnt ready to run a charter school. I was absolutely convinced it wasnt going to work, she said recently.
She said she knows Mack but she didnt think it was appropriate for her, as a state advisory panel member, to approach him about her personal misgivings.
In July 2013, the month before StudentFirst opened, the state rejected the Miracle Academy applications.
Rocky start
StudentFirst opened in August with 338 students, about 22 percent below projections.
Parents say they began seeing problems early, from students roaming the halls and reports of fights in the middle school to teacher turnover, unlighted grounds and inadequate meals.
Plans to have after-school enrichment provided by community partners didnt materialize. Instead, teachers were expected to cover the evening hours students had been promised, often working from 6:45 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to board members.
Mack and Vice Chair Jennifer Winstel say the board was aware of early problems, but it accepted assurances from Handford and Moss that solutions were in progress.
At the boards September meeting, Mack says Handford announced that she had hired her husband, Connell Handford Sr., as school nurse. His salary was $11,000 a year, and Mack says Phyllis Handford told the board that was less than they would pay for a credentialed nurse.
The N.C. Board of Nursing, which verifies licenses for all types of nurses in the state, has no listing for Connell Handford. Mack, who knows the family, said he believes Handford had worked at some type of medical facility.
Mack says Phyllis Handford also told the board she had hired her son, Jonathan Handford, a recent college graduate, to open mail and forward invoices, at a salary of $22,000 a year. According to a consultants affidavit filed in the lawsuit, Jonathan Handford was employed as SFAs CFO, or bookkeeper.
We knew the Office of Charter Schools frowned upon it, Mack said of the decision to hire an administrators relatives, but we didnt object.
Acadia NorthStar, the accounting firm working with StudentFirst, raised concerns in September about spending that wasnt properly documented, Mack said. That spending had taken place in the months before opening, Mack said, and came mostly from a $50,000 planning grant from Partners for Developing Futures, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that invests in new minority-led charters.
Mack said Handford had spent money for asbestos abatement and other building improvements but didnt have documentation.
Another financial question emerged in September: A board member asked about salaries for Handford and Moss. The application budget had said theyd be paid $65,000 and $55,000, respectively. But they now had contracts for $90,000 and $84,000, and Macks signature was on Handfords contract.
Mack says he signed it when Handford gave him a stack of documents to sign in July. He said they never discussed a raise, and he didnt notice the amount on the one-page contract. Mack now says he was a little upset by it. But he said Handford told the board she was going to keep some positions open while she and Moss took on additional duties.
I was trying to give Phyllis the benefit of the doubt, Mack said. Unfortunately, the hiring continued.
A wake-up call
The October board meeting brought sterner warnings from Acadia NorthStar, Mack and Winstel say. The accounting firms representatives said they could not present a full report because they werent getting the information they needed from school administrators.
But Winstel and Mack say Handford and Moss assured the board they were rounding up documentation.
In early November, Mack got a certified letter from the N.C. Office of Charter Schools.
Over the past month the Office of Charter Schools has received consistent complaints regarding several practices at StudentFirst Academy, says the Nov. 6 letter from Deanna Townsend-Smith. The complaints have escalated and you need to be informed about them.
What followed were two pages of questions about unfulfilled promises, unpaid bills, special-education services, teacher turnover, conflicts of interest, attendance violations and other issues. The state wanted answers by Nov. 22.
November brought another shock: The school didnt have enough money to cover the November payroll. The board asked nonessential management staff to defer half their paycheck to December.
Money, management woes
The board hired Prestige Preparatory Schools Network, a Charlotte-based charter school consulting firm, to work with Acadia NorthStar on answering the states questions.
Those consultants found massive problems, according to documents filed in the Handford/Moss lawsuit: Buses were consistently arriving as much as 90 minutes late. Elementary textbooks had not been ordered. General disorder was observed throughout the middle school, a summary from Prestige says, and middle school students were taking naps as part of the day, some for as long as 2 hours.
The school was still staffed for more than 400 students, even though it was serving a smaller population.
Office staff indicates that Phyllis Handford and Sandra Moss alternate their time in the school, each working what sounds as though to be half days, the Prestige report says. According to office staff, Connell Handford and Jonathan Handford report to work very infrequently.
Consultants found stacks of unopened mail on Handfords desk, including student records, unpaid bills and overdue notices. Unpaid bills to local vendors totaled approximately $450,000, some dating to July, the Prestige report says.
The report also said that Phyllis Handford had created a separate checking account and made Internet transfers from the charter school to that account.
Its unclear what the purpose of the other account is and no accountability paperwork has been provided, the Prestige report said.
In an affidavit, Mark Cramer of Prestige sets the total at more than $92,000 the two fired administrators charged to StudentFirst for items for which they were unable to provide invoices or other documents supporting the propriety of charging these expenses to SFA.
According to the Prestige report, paperwork had not been filed for students with disabilities, eliminating nearly $300,000 that had been budgeted in government revenue for special education.
The conclusion, according to Cramers affidavit: Unless the board acted quickly, StudentFirst would be insolvent and have to close by the end of December.
Criminal checks skipped
The report raised another issue: While Handford and Moss requested criminal background checks on most employees, it said they did not include themselves, Connell Handford or Jonathan Handford.
The state does not do background checks on board members seeking charters, but those boards are responsible for following the same background check process as the school district in the county where the charter is located. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools conducts criminal record checks on all employees.
The Observer checked criminal records and learned that Phyllis Handford was found guilty in 2003 of misrepresentation to obtain unemployment benefits. The records say she was ordered to pay $1,628 restitution, $200 in costs and fines and put on 24 months unsupervised probation.
Handford said the Employment Security Commission overpaid her. She insisted there was no criminal conviction.
Mack said he didnt know about the conviction until a reporter asked about it. He called it especially disturbing, he said, because it should have been disclosed when she was working for his program at UNCC.
Its up to each charter board to set a policy for handling the results of background checks, says Medley of the N.C. Office of Charter Schools. The StudentFirst teacher handbook, submitted as part of its application, says the school will not hire anyone whose criminal record indicates a threat to the safety of students and staff or demonstrates that he or she does not have the integrity or honesty to fulfill his or her duties as a school employee.
When asked whether things would have been handled differently if the board knew about Handfords conviction, Mack said possibly so.
Secret meetings
As the board got the bleak reports, Handford and Moss were instructed to launch layoffs and salary cuts to bring the budget under control, but they balked, according to Mack and the court records.
On Dec. 2, six members of the StudentFirst board of directors convened an emergency board meeting at Homewood Suites, where two Prestige consultants were staying. Phyllis Handford, Moss and Connell Handford Jr. were not notified.
Board leaders convened two more unannounced emergency meetings on Dec. 8 at Homewood Suites and on Dec. 15 at Winstels home to deal with the crisis. When those meetings were done, the board had removed Phyllis Handford, Moss and Connell Handford Jr. as members and fired Phyllis Handford, Moss, Connell Handford Sr. and Jonathan Handford.
On Dec. 17, Phyllis Handford and Moss sued the StudentFirst board, saying they were wrongfully fired and seeking reinstatement and damages. Among their complaints: The emergency meetings where they were fired didnt comply with the N.C. Open Meetings Law.
That law, which applies to charter boards as well as traditional school boards, requires public notice of meetings generally 48 hours in advance, though the time can be shorter for emergency meetings. Personnel actions can be discussed in closed session but must be part of a public meeting.
Mack and Winstel said the only people told about the emergency meetings were the board members whose jobs were not being discussed and the Prestige consultants.
The boards response to the suit, filed Jan. 22, doesnt refute the allegation that the board violated the open meeting law. Instead, it contends that wouldnt invalidate the actions, which were backed at a later public meeting.
Trying to rebuild
Today more than 300 students report to StudentFirst Academy.
Staffing has gone from 65 to fewer than 40, Winstel and Mack said, with total payroll dropping by more than 50 percent.
On Jan. 23 the board hired Derrick Gates as head of school at the originally budgeted salary of $65,000 a year. Gates has worked at Trinity Episcopal School, KIPP Charlotte charter school and Cannon School, a private school in Concord. Some parents say board members have been a constant presence since the problems were recognized.
I want to see the school go to the next level, says Proctor, who is active in the Mecklenburg County PTA Council. The first year hasnt been what he had hoped for, Proctor said, but hes willing to consider bringing his son back next year.
Ramona Diggs, with three children at StudentFirst, says she was ready to pull them out by December but changed her mind in January.
It went from night to day, she said. My children will not be leaving this school.
Others gave up. Kathey Dailey said they returned their eighth-grade son to CMS in January after encountering teachers who couldnt control middle-school students. Promised textbooks and technology never materialized, she said; and while she never heard about naps, she once walked in to find students and the teacher inexplicably sitting quietly in the dark.
She said last week shes still trying to get attendance records and grades from StudentFirst. She said she and her husband have repeatedly apologized to their son: We should have realized that it was too good to be true.
Challenges remain
This years eighth-graders were supposed to move up to ninth grade as StudentFirst expanded. That plan is on hold as the school tries to stabilize its K-8 program.
The board paid Prestige $30,000 to craft an academic and financial recovery plan, and is paying an annual consulting fee of $235 per student about $73,800 at the current enrollment.
The school has arranged payment plans to catch up on overdue bills, board members say.
Liability insurance is providing an attorney to defend the board in the lawsuit, but the board also hired former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot, who has expertise in charter-school law. His firms fees, which Vinroot estimates will total $20,000 to $30,000, will come from the operating budget.
Vinroot, Mack and Winstel say the board has not reported the undocumented spending to police because they wanted to stabilize the school while continuing to investigate.
Vinroot said an itemized list of credit-card charges, which was prepared by Prestige but not filed with the lawsuit, confirms that some payments were made for building improvements and utilities, including $14,500 for asbestos abatement. But he said it also includes numerous smaller payments to restaurants, gas stations and retail stores.
We dont think its stolen, Vinroot said. I dont think there was proper accounting.
Is it enough?
The Office of Charter Schools is keeping a close eye on StudentFirsts progress, with follow-up visits planned.
Medley said the states goal is always to help a school survive. Still, this much trouble this early on is unusual. He said hell decide next steps after learning more about the issues detailed in court filings. The Charter School Advisory Board could summon StudentFirst back to explain.
Obviously, the nuclear option is the removal of the charter, he said.
StudentFirst will start enrolling students for 2014-15 later this month. Turner, the Sugar Creek director and advisory board member, says that could be tough. Even before news coverage, the word-of-mouth on them is pretty negative, she said.
Results from state exams at years end will be scrutinized. All charters are required to meet standards for proficiency and growth; two years of failing to meet those standards can lead to closure for any charter.
Vinroot, who was a founding board member of Sugar Creek Charter, says startup struggles need not be fatal. That school required an extension from the state before it met academic standards, he said.
He says its almost impossible to prepare people for how difficult the early work will be.
I, like a lot of people, thought running a school was a piece of cake, Vinroot said. Its not a piece of cake.

Turkey Crown - Morrisons - £7.99 per kilo

- a turkey crown has the breast bone in it.
A turkey butterfly, however doesn't. - NEVER HAD A BONE IN A TURKEY CROWN.
- alano1963NEVER HAD A BONE IN A TURKEY CROWN.
Except possibly the Sternum...that's the big bony thing that separates the two breasts.
Getting off the finer points of fowl anatomy and butchery terms, I do find it a little sad that Morrisons were selling fresh turkey breast joints for £4.50/kg a couple of months ago...yet in the run up to Christmas when everyone is short, they have an extra special price that's nearly double with added bone & skin.
Not that I can complain too much about Morissons as they aren't alone in upping prices just before Christmas. Asda put 12% on the price of their double cream last week and Sainsburys put their milk up so it's now 29% more expensive than Asda on 4 pints.
In the current market £8 a kilo for a fresh crown is pretty good...although, for those with access, Makro will be doing (up to) 3Kg crowns for £15 (no VAT on food), working out at £5/kg.

I think it's wonderful to see Holyrood growing and businesses booming, but it's so important to keep Holyrood's natural beauty up front and centre. I agree with previous comments that mention how important it is to have a good town plan. I've noted the three houses being built in the bog, with bog for fill that comes up over the siding... what's with that... are their any town regulations about that? I've also noted the many leaks in our water system... may be time to look at more than just a patch up job!!.. Tiny lots and backyard development should also be a no no!!

A full-fledged grocery store would be most welcome. With all this anticipated growth, imagine if we could also get a recreation complex to service Conception Bay Centre, whether it be located in Holyrood or not; facilities such as the pool or Robert French stadium in CBS are over-crowded now. Personally, I would like to see Holyrood have more to offer its residents besides a place to sleep.

Sure things are happening or will soon be happening in different areas of the town. Let;s not lose sight of our communinty to these bigh builders and developers. Driving through the southside area of the town and look at three basements being built, back filled with "Bog". Doesn't seem to be the ideal building development!!! Antipciapte trouble there. Where are the regulations for these. Let's keep the size of lots they way we are used too. We don't need small lots, cramped locations and reach out and touch your neighbor construction. Of course with this jump in housing and increase of people we need increased services. Garbage collection, recycling increased, water & sewer services which are current, updated, and available. What we currently have is old, water leaks everywhere. Can the services handle the additions, water services, fire protection, snow clearing, recreational needs. Town PLan!!!! It's going to have to be what it needs to be and has to be enforced. Personally, can't see it happening myself. Status Quo!!!

Goobie better get a town plan in place if he wants development in Holyrood that balances rural and urban aspects of the town. The last thing he wants is another mess like the one that has occurred and continues to occur in Paradise.

As a resident of Holyrood, I am very proud to see the town develop and grow into a thriving community. I just hope that with the increased develoment and a soild town plan, we can finally take care of some long outstanding infrastrure issues. Gravel roads should now be a thing of the past!

...and in CBS. Cripes what a mess there. That so-called CBS By-Pass has been touted for about 10 years and critical infracture for it's completion ONLY TO SEAL COVE are not even tendered yet . I'd estimate the distance from the By-Pass at Seal Cove to the Holyrood bridge to be a good 16 kms.

An interesting statistic from Xerox - around 40 per cent of office paper is discarded within a day of anybody printing on it.
If this is the case then it begs the question, why are we as businesses continuing to consume so much of this resource?
Not only are we contributing to environmental decay, but in short, we are throwing money away.
An individual sheet of paper is not going to break the bank for anyone, but if this is multiplied by ten or a hundred thousand across a large organisation, the costs can mount.
Businesses need to consider whether they actually need to print out memos, invoices, agendas and the like in the era of mobile technology.
With smartphones and tablets becoming increasingly common within the business world, it may be more cost and energy-efficient to view documents on the internet.
There is certainly less chance of a paper sheet being lost or damaged - the document will continue to be available online for as long as the user requires access.
Reducing the amount spend on stationery - and perhaps more pertinently, printing - can free up valuable resources to be used elsewhere in the business.

Just want some input on what could be good and could be bad. I've been thinking of this story for awhile, it's sorta semiautobiographical to a very limited pointAnd it's meant to be humorous. :7up: (Isn't that a cool smiley? /end ADD.)
So here we go. You've got a guy who goes out with a girl for a month or two, and the relationship ends badly. He's maybe 14 or 15. So at the end of the relationship, the girl gets angry and out of vengance places a curse on him; he either has to find a better girl than her or get back together with her, and in the interim, he can't date. No other relationship works. And then the story progresses to just follow the poor guy through attempt after attempt to pick up a girl. And he always fails, through either his faults or an excruciatingly ironic outside circumstance. The girls themselves are an interesting bunch; some are popular, some are sluts, some are shy or innocent...The whole bag. And he gets with none of them. Except for one, or the girl who placed the curse.
I can obviously flesh it out a bit more, but I just want input on the basic idea...I'll get a draft of ideas going by the end of the weekend.

Partnership Disputes
One of the Leading Business Litigation Firms in Orange County, California
Klein & Wilson has represented business partners in a wide range of disputes, including real estate disputes, failed business ventures, family partnerships gone awry, and fraud. Klein & Wilson has successfully represented clients who were victimized by dishonest partners in control of partnership assets and partners who were wrongfully ousted from partnerships by those in control.
Many people do not recognize that partnerships are much like a marriage, with the same fiduciary duties that spouses have toward each other. Thus, those in control must honestly account for income and expenses and not take advantage of minority partners not involved in the day to day operation of a business or real estate project. Strict procedures must be followed to dissolve a partnership and to resolve disputes with a troublesome partner. Failure to comply with these rules and improperly terminating a partnership can lead to liability. Klein & Wilson navigates its clients through the minefield of partnership law. If clients have made mistakes before hiring Klein & Wilson, Klein & Wilson's attorneys spare no effort to lead clients out of the traps they have made for themselves.
Partnership disputes are often complicated and require a detailed accounting to understand the nature of the dispute at issue. Because of Klein & Wilson's experience in handling partnership matters, the firm has access to respected accounting professionals and other resources to help resolve partnership disputes favorably for its clients. Moreover, because of Klein & Wilson's skill in the courtroom, Klein & Wilson knows how to present partnership disputes in a way jurors understand so they can reach an appropriate verdict. Partnership disputes often have a strong degree of personal animosity among the litigants leading to an escalation of litigation. Klein & Wilson recognizes the personal nature of these disputes and does its best to divert the litigants from the personal issues driving them apart back to the business issues that must be resolved to end a lawsuit. See examples of Klein & Wilson's handling of partnership disputes in significant case results.

English Standard Version (ESV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman. | 1 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. |
2 And they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it. | 2 "Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this. |
3 Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth. | 3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) |
4 And suddenly the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting." And the three of them came out. | 4 At once the LORD said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, "Come out to the Tent of Meeting, all three of you." So the three of them came out. |
5 And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. | 5 Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the Tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them stepped forward, |
6 And he said, "Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. | 6 he said, "Listen to my words: "When a prophet of the LORD is among you, I reveal myself to him in visions, I speak to him in dreams. |
7 Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. | 7 But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. |
8 With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" | 8 With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" |
9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed. | 9 The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them. |
10 When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. | 10 When the cloud lifted from above the Tent, there stood Miriam--leprous, like snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had leprosy; |
11 And Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, do not punish us because we have done foolishly and have sinned. | 11 and he said to Moses, "Please, my lord, do not hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed. |
12 Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother's womb." | 12 Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb with its flesh half eaten away." |
13 And Moses cried to the LORD, "O God, please heal her--please." | 13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, "O God, please heal her!" |
14 But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut outside the camp seven days, and after that she may be brought in again." | 14 The LORD replied to Moses, "If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back." |
15 So Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days, and the people did not set out on the march till Miriam was brought in again. | 15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back. |
16 After that the people set out from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran. | 16 After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran. |

Last night the Harrison City Council met and with several things on the agenda.
Some of the items on the table included employees contracting with the City Ordinance, Fair Housing Ordinance, the Coop Purchasing Resolution, Resolution for Lake Trail Exercise Equipment and Safe Routes to School Resolution.
In new business, a proposal was presented by a citizen of Harrison to raise taxes a quarter cent with all going towards the Harrison Police Department to strictly enforce and protect the school system in Harrison.
Harrison Police Chief Pat Murphy says the raised tax would be a big help.

Murphy went on to say as far as the money that went into the program if passed and voted in, it would benefit the school system.

200. That's the number of new and updated cars that are scheduled to debut over the next twenty-four months. You don't really want to read about every reskin or 5-hp bump, so we've filtered that list down to the 25 cars you most need to know about. Much of our information is hard fact, while some of it is educated guesswork or pure conjecture. We have included a "speculation meter" for each car to indicate what's what. Here, then, is the scoop on the cars you will be hearing a lot about over the next two years.
This is the first of four articles that appear in our June 2012 print issue. Tomorrow we'll tell you about what to expect from European automakers, then the Asian automakers, and finally we'll tell you about the 10 trends steering the auto industry.
Chevrolet C7 Corvette
No dramatic changes for America's preeminent sports car.Our annual Sneak Preview package just wouldn't be the same without some speculation on the Corvette that General Motors refuses to talk about. A few years ago, we infuriated the Vette's chief engineer with predictions -- which are still echoing around enthusiast communities -- of a V-6 engine. A V-6 is still on the table but likely for the generation after next. The seventh-generation Corvette won't be dramatically different from the current car.
Given its recent financial troubles and resultant period of government oversight, it's no surprise that GM has hewed to a fairly conservative course in preparing the latest (and now just plain late) new Corvette. As hard as it might be for us to understand, the idea of GM spending gobs of money to radically reengineer its screaming, tire-smoking supercar could in some circles be seen as less than prudent, especially when the current Vette is already a world-class performer. So, the upcoming new Corvette -- the C7 for short -- retains the current mechanical layout. Instead, efforts have gone into lowering weight, downsizing powertrains, and improving efficiency. We're still looking at a V-8 engine, however, and the numbers bandied about for the base model are 5.5 liters and 440 hp -- so this downsizing is evidently nothing too drastic. The V-8 will be direct-injected and the transmissions will add more gears, giving the Vette an eight-speed automatic and a seven-speed manual like the one in the new Porsche 911. The car will also be trimmed in size, and that, frankly, is welcome, but not quite as much as the promised higher-quality interior. Also welcome is a more adventurous design, considering the play-it-safe recent efforts. Chevrolet released a teaser in the form of the Stingray concept back in 2009, but that show car is pretty far off from the production version. Instead, we're expecting something along the lines of what you see above, with the creases of today's car more pronounced, a vaguely Ferrari 599 look to the profile, and a hint of Camaro in the taillights to build the Chevy family resemblance. It won't be long before we'll know how close this is to the real thing. We'll get our first look at the next-generation Corvette in less than a year at the 2013 Detroit auto show before the car goes on sale as a 2014 model.
And for those of you holding out hope for a mid-engine Corvette, we advise you to let it go.
What: Slightly downsized in dimensions and displacement, but not in power or performance.
When: Next year.
Wow: An interior nicer than a $15,000 Sonic's.
Speculation Meter: Our Best Guess
Fisker Nina
The big question isn't what Fisker's next car will be, it's whether the automaker will survive long enough to produce it. After the Department of Energy suspended its loan to Fisker, the board inserted former Chrysler executive Tom LaSorda into the CEO position. If it all works out (and we sincerely hope it does), the next car Fisker builds will be a sedan smaller than the Karma with a more palatable price.
Of course, since the company is named after and still likely run by designer Henrik Fisker, this Mercedes E-class-sized sedan (illustrated above) figures to be dramatically lower and wider than other cars its size -- and it will likely be more beautiful, too. In place of the Karma's GM-sourced four-cylinder gasoline engine is BMW's new N20 turbo four-cylinder strapped to a generator to produce power to turn the rear wheels. We expect the Nina to be a four-seater with its large battery pack stored in a raised center console, as in the Karma.
What: A smaller, less expensive range-extended EV.
When: Maybe next year, maybe never.
Wow: Nice body.
Speculation Meter: More Fact Than Fiction
The family car of the future?The tesla Model S four-door sedan is scheduled to begin its first deliveries in July. After that, the next Tesla you'll see on the road is a crossover, the Model X. The external size bogey was the Audi Q7, but Tesla boasts that its first crossover beats the Q7 in interior space by 40 percent, and indeed its interior is both enormous and attractive. The "Falcon Wing" rear doors are double-hinged and rise up to seven feet, allowing easy access to the third row.
Surprisingly, even the rearmost row is comfortable for two adults, and it's bright and airy thanks to overhead glass, although it's a bit narrow. The Model X's space coup is that it provides not only an enormous rear trunk but also a commodious and nicely finished cargo hold up front.
What allows all this space is the Model X's electric powertrain. The Tesla crossover will be offered with two battery sizes (60 or 85 kWh, giving a projected range of some 200 and 275 miles, respectively) and with three different powertrains: Base models will have rear-wheel drive and a rear-mounted motor producing 295 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel-drive models add a front-mounted, 148-lb-ft motor that helps drag the big crossover to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds. The third variant, Model X Performance, has more powerful motors (the rear one producing 443 lb-ft and the front more than 150 lb-ft) that shave that time to an incredible 4.4 seconds.
That means it will deliver Mercedes-Benz R63 AMG-type performance but in complete silence -- all you'll hear are the whispered exclamations coming from all six stunned passengers. The Model X has it in the corners, too, with tightly controlled body motions thanks to the floor-mounted battery pack's contribution to a low center of gravity. Tesla is sticking to a conventional brake pedal -- no blended regeneration -- so it, too, promises the feel of a nonhybrid.
Tesla says the steel-bodied crossover shares up to 60 percent of its parts with its sedan brother, and overall range should diminish by only about 10 percent thanks to tremendous efforts paid to minimizing aerodynamic drag. To that end, Tesla is working on readying camera-based sideview mirrors for production to meet or better the sedan's 0.24 coefficient of drag. The images they capture are relayed to the flanks of a large screen that makes up the gauge cluster. A seventeen-inch capacitive touch screen forms the main control center on the center stack, and even the buttons on the steering wheel are OLED touch screens, meaning their functions can be customized by the driver.
The best thing about Tesla is that it's taking performance seriously. The roadster set a high bar, and now the company will have a sedan and a crossover that can brutalize sports cars at real U.S. road speeds. Says one Tesla engineer: "It's pretty cool to be able to do roll-on burnouts at 40 mph." Tesla's rumored next car -- a sedan about the size of a BMW 3-series -- might then be an electric competitor to the M3. Wouldn't that be cool?
What: An all-electric people mover with gull-wing rear doors.
When: Late this year.
Wow: A seventeen-inch touch screen..
Speculation Meter: You Can (Almost) Bank On It

July 7th, 2011, 9:45 am–A new interview has surfaced online today. Amy Kaufman from Los Angeles Times – HERO COMPLEX had the opportunity to speak with Rupert Grint.
You'll find the whole interview in our press archive here.
AK: Have you felt pressure about choosing your post-"Potter" roles?
RG: Not so much really. This last movie just came up, and I was quite game to do something different. It's just a new challenge. It all kind of made sense. … It's called "Comrade," and it's about a true story set in World War II about two English pilots and three German pilots. They both shoot each other down in the middle of Norway, and they find each other in this old cabin thing, and it's how our relationship with each other changes. We go into survival mode and put the war aside and we become friends, so it's quite cool. … It was very different — extremely different. We filmed it in Norway on top of a mountain in crazy weather. It was minus-25 with snow everywhere. It was quite extreme. It was a very different filming experience. … It was a true story. These were real people. World War II always felt like quite an interesting part of history.AK: It sounds heavy, a departure from your more comedic work.
RG: I'm pretty much kind of up for anything really — anything that's kind of a bit of an interesting character always appeals to me.
We also have a nice comment from heatworld.com about Rupert's appearance on the red carptet of the Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere yesterday to share with you.
…And then there was lovely, shy Rupert Grint, who was actually quite prompt in his arrival (well done Rupert) – but he still managed to spend almost four hours actually walking the red carpet, talking to fans – impressive by anyone's standards…
Yeah, that sounds like Rupert how we know and love him
Don't forget to keep an eye on our gallery, we will uploading lots of pictures our staffer Karo and Anna took yesterday through the whole day.

10 Burgers
Soy Free
Tabbouleh, tabouli, tabouleh, taboolee . . . however you wanna spell it, it spells YUM! It has a clean, light flavor that just tastes healthy. If you have a food processor, now is the time to use it.
- 3 cups (705 ml) water
- 1 cup (176 g) uncooked bulgur wheat
- 3 cups (180 g) finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large cucumber, seeded and diced (about 2 cups [270 g])
- 1 cup (180 g) diced tomatoes (approx. 2 seeded tomatoes)
- 1⁄4 cup (12 g) finely chopped mint leaves
- 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) olive oil
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) lemon juice
- Salt and pepper
- 1 recipe Tabbouleh Salad (above)
- 1 cup (120 g) whole wheat flour
- 3 tablespoons (24 g) cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sesame oil (optional)
Tabbouleh Salad
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the bulgur wheat, lower the heat to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, mint, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Add the cooled bulgur and mix thoroughly.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4). Line a baking pan with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
Add the flour and cornstarch to the Tabbouleh Salad mixture. Knead until well incorporated. If your mixture is too wet, add a little more flour.
Form into 10 patties. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until firm and just beginning to brown. You can eat them just like this, but they get extra yummy if you panfry them in a little sesame oil after you bake them, just to get a little golden crispy crust!
Serving Suggestion You can eat this patty warm or cold. I like it all by itself, but its also super yummy in a pita or on flatbread. Its also good on a wheat bun with a schmear of hummus or tzatziki sauce.

Federal Jury Convicts Brazilian Woman of Alien Smuggling and Worker Visa Fraud Conspiracy
Orlando, Florida - U.S. Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announces that a federal jury yesterday found Rafaela Dutra Toro (30, Orlando) guilty of alien smuggling and conspiracy to commit alien smuggling and worker visa fraud. She faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison. Toro was indicted on January 26, 2011. Her sentencing hearing has not yet been scheduled. Toro is a citizen of Brazil and will be subject to removal from the United States after serving her sentence.
According to evidence presented at trial, Toro worked for VR SERVICES, a large temporary labor staffing company based in Orlando, which supplied temporary labor to numerous businesses in the hotel and hospitality industries throughout Florida and the United States. The scheme allowed Toro and her co-conspirators to set up a permanent foreign labor pool that hired illegal alien workers across the United States in jobs that would normally have been filled by United States citizens. As part of the conspiracy, Toro and her co-conspirators submitted false documentation to the government and manipulated the H-2B foreign worker visa process. They also submitted fake hotel contract agreements to conceal their activities and falsely reported that U.S. workers had been hired when they had not.
To further the conspiracy, they falsely claimed that no payments had been collected from the alien workers, when in fact the workers had actually paid between $350 to $750 each to be placed on the fraudulent H-2B visa petitions. Through their complex visa fraud and alien smuggling activities, Toro and her co-conspirators supplied foreign workers to more than 100 hotels and allowed more than 1,000 foreign workers to enter and remain in the United States illegally using fraudulently obtained H-2B employment-based visas. An H-2B visa is granted to certain qualified foreign workers seeking temporary employment in the United States.
Four co-conspirators previously pled guilty for their roles in this conspiracy. Wilson and Valeria Barbugli were sentenced in October 2010 to 18 months and 24 months in federal prison, respectively. Their son, Eduardo Dozzi Barbugli, was sentenced in December 2010 to 20 months in federal prison. A fourth co-conspirator, Jose Maria Meza Diaz, will be sentenced later this month.
"The individuals involved in this case orchestrated a very large and very complex visa fraud ring. They took jobs away from U.S. citizens and others who are legally allowed to work in this country by knowingly employing people who were not authorized to work in the United States," said Susan McCormick, special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Tampa. "Through cases like this one, HSI is helping to protect our economy and preserve job opportunities from being lost due to fraud."
This case was jointly investigated by the Document and Benefit Fraud Task Force (DBFTF), a multi-agency task force that coordinates investigations into fraudulent immigration documents. The task force includes U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations; U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General, Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations; U.S. Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service; and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Fraud Detection and National Security. It was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie E. Gorman.

I just had my first game of the core set, and though I generally got a pretty good understanding of the rules, I still need a little help clarifying a few matters:
1. If the entire unit around the commander is wiped out, what rules apply to the single commander-model? I.e. Rickard Castark is by himself after the two other cavalry models are gone - does he retain the 'pursue 2'-ability? Does he still attack with the same amount of dice as if he was the last cavalry model of a regular unit? And why can't I find this info anywhere in the rules?
2. Is morale not affected by a commander being captured? I mean, in any other way than how the rank of the eliminated unit affects morale?
3. If a unit makes a flanking attack and afterwards is attacked in the 'rear' - do I just consider it a regular attack since the flanking did not produce an engagement token? Thus a unit making a flanking attack cannot be flanked itself?

North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper appealed a state rule Monday that allows water utilities to raise rates without holding public hearings. The rule was approved in May by the N.C. Utilities Commission in a rate case for Cary-based Aqua North Carolina and applies only to private water-and-sewer utilities. The attorney general's office told the N.C. Supreme Court that the rule doesn't give enough consideration to customers.

All I ever wanted to be was a mother. Boy, did my dreams come true! I have mothered many and not loved every minute of it, but definitely grew and learned and now that the children are grown and on their own, I realize how precious those years were.
The great truth is, there is now the sequel--grandkids--and once again, I find myself not fulfilling my duties. Here's hoping that they forgive and love me as I attempt to get better at this. This site is for the grandbabies!

I bought this at the salon and forgot about it for a while.
Took it out recently to use it up.
Seems a bit heavy for my fine hair. There's a lot left at the bottom and it won't pump out, but since it's so heavy I can't just flip the bottole and get some that way. Won't be repurchasing since I found better products since.
i loved this one!
Is a thermal activated cream, so you NEED to blow dry it, otherwise you'll not see the results.
It's soooo sad that Redken has discontinued this one....
It really made my hair with a lot of shine and healthy looking.
So, if you find some to buy and are searching how to use it properly, here is the tip:
After washing, dry your hair with a towel and use the cream all over it (do not use on the root).
Dry with a hair dryer.
It's not a leave in....
It's a product that will give your hair more shine and less frizz.
Will miss it.....
I recommend this for long hair. As many 4-lippie reviewers said, this is a thermal, heat-activated leave in conditioner - thank you, fellow MUA reviewers. I would not have noticed this on the fine print on the bottle. After washing my mid-back straight one-length hair, I apply a quarter-size dollop to the towel dried damp hair. I lightly blow dry on a low heat setting until the hair is about 80% dry. Then I comb through with a wide-tooth comb. This product makes the combing smooth and easy. It is the following day that I feel the full magic of the leave-in conditioning. If you have short hair or wash your hair daily, you may not feel the conditioning and smoothing effect. I do not use a hair straightener or hot rollers; my hair is not dry.
This is a great product for dry and over processed hair, I put it on after towel drying before blow drying. Only will see results when heat is applied to the hair. Love it for longer hair.

Had high hopes for this one. Sadly, this just doesn't work for me. I have thick, long, partially bleached hair and the ends are really dry at the moment. After using this I see no difference in my hair. I gave it two months. Now back to Redken Anti-Snap.
Maybe it depends on the type of hair or how you use it, but it just makes mine feel dryer. I've tried it as a leave in styling product and before using straighteners but not impressed so far...
For those of you buying this as a 'leave-in' you are not reading up on the product before buying.
It is NOT a leave-in, it IS a THERMAL lotion to put on your hair AFTER towel drying. Of course if you buy it as a leave-in you WILL be disappointed.
I use this after towel drying on my fine wavy hair. As you blow-dry even on a low setting the luxe feel of your hair afterward is amazing. It seems to help straightening even though it's not advertised as much though it does protect from heat.
The feeling on the hair isn't very silicone based to the touch which is great. No more than 1-2 squirts of product is good enough for my long hair (mostly through the last half of my hair).
I choose this product over any serum as it seems to conserve moisture. I usually use a purple shampoo for my blonde, the All Soft Conditioner and then this.
Lasts for AGES.

While this does leave my hair feeling soft, I find that it also leaves my hair feel very limp and heavy.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
It makes my hair super soft and moisturized.
the smallest one was on sale for 2 bucks at ulta, and i thought hey what the heck and it is amazing
i totally recommend it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great product! I use this after I shower only on the ends, where my hair is damaged from highlights, and the occasional In-Styler. All it takes is about 2 pumps- rub evenly in both hands, and apply to the ends. (I read many reviews stating the product was too heavy and made hair limp. Not the case! If you achieve those results, you are using too much product, ladies!) I found this to be one of the best products I have ever used (after trying hundreds of conditioners- both rinse-out and leave-in). Found that it transformed my hair to a silky smooth texture. My HG!

Glenmorangie (18 year)
May 10, 2012
I spend so much time with Glenmorangie's wine finishes (like their transcendent Nectar D'Or 12 year) that I forget the whisky has a "standard" baseline represented by its 12- and 18-year-old expressions. The first is matured only in ex-bourbon barrels, including the barrels sourced by the company in the forests of Missouri especially for their barrel program. This is a great example of Glenmorangie's commitment to quality (wow I sound like my employer's Marketing department) and their willingness to innovate. They actually go to the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, hand-pick slow-growth American white oak trees, air season them (rather than artificially quick-drying) for two years, and then lend them to bourbon producers to use in their own maturation. To me, that says something about the company's dedication to doing it right. It's also a sound strategy for ensuring the quality of their barrels, considering many Cambeltown distilleries lost their reputations by using fish barrels during American Prohibition! Way to learn from the past, Glenmorangie.
The flagship 18-year is a marriage of 70% ex-bourbon matured malt, and 30% oloroso sherry-finished (for 3 years). It is not advertised as being non-chill-filtered, which probably means it has been filtered. Ditto for the addition of coloring.
Nose: Lemony, with light notes of green pear, lemon-lime soda, and golden raisins. Subtle… too subtle?
Palate: Banana taffy, lemon drop, and nougat. Interesting flavor profile while remaining light and airy. Some woodiness intrudes.
Finish: Oaky with some bitter char notes. Medium-long. Turns nutty, with clear walnut skins.
Overall: Very nice, but super light, and not particularly concentrated despite the 18 years of aging. It's mildly complex, with some interesting fruit notes that I didn't expect. While not disappointing, this isn't going to knock anyone's socks off, and I can see why even Glenmorangie doesn't try to price this above $99. Perhaps Glenmo malt really serves better as a canvas for wine finishes.
About The Distillery
Glenmorangie has been an innovator in the industry for years, pioneering cask expressions and experimental bottlings of their exceptional Highland whisky. Often cited as the biggest-selling whisky in Scotland, Glenmorangie is also attracting a lot of international attention, winning awards left and right. Among their cask-aged expressions are the Nectar D'Or (matured in French Sauternes casks after 10 years minimum in bourbon barrels), Quinta Ruban (matured in port barrels), Lasanta (matured in oloroso sherry casks), and more. Glenmorangie sources its oak casks in the Ozark mountains and loans them for four years to the Jack Daniels distillery before using them for Scotch. Glenmorangie's water flows from the Tarlogie Springs in the hills above the distillery, over sandstone (yielding hard water) and picks up flavor components from the clover and heather in the hills before entering the distillery, where 24 very long-necked stills called the "giraffes" make Glenmorangie's classic Highland malt. Glenmorangie, like Ardbeg, is owned by luxury giant LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy).3 Responses to Glenmorangie (18 year)
I've read that only a small percentage of Glenmorangie's Missouri oak bourbon cask matured whisky is in the 10 and 18 year olds. The rest is their whisky aged in normal ex-bourbon or refill casks. To get a taste of those Missouri oak casks, you'd need to pick up a bottle of Glenmorangie Astar, which also happens to be cask strength. Last time I checked Beltramo's had five bottles (used to be six but I walked out with one).
I had the pleasure of trying this at an english pub in monterrey california and found it to be to my liking, while i was light i enjoyed it more than my macallan 18 year and it was about 5 bucks less.
Thank you, I've read lots of glowing reviews of Glenmorangie entire line up, including this one. Leaving me a presumed minority. I liked the first two shots from the bottle, and it's gone totally down hill from there. Just not to my taste, where as I read mixed reviews of OP and Glengoyne, and I like those much more than this. As always, quality is in the eye of the taster, and we are all a little bit different. Makes the world and the whisky industry more interesting than if we all liked the exact same things. Cheers.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
As the digital transition gets closer and media coverage increases, the important thing to remember is that if you get your TV from cable or satellite now, you don't need to do anything. If you do rely on analog over-the-air TV, the next important thing is to not panic--you don't need a new TV. Almost any analog TV can receive the new digital stations if connected to a DTV converter box, which should cost no more than $20 if you sign up one of the government's $40 coupons. (For more information, see our Quick Guide to the DTV transition).
The Magnavox TB100MW9 is one of the DTV converter boxes you can buy with a $40 coupon, and it's one of the more visible options because it's being carried at Wal-Mart. In our tests, it was a competent performer, with good video quality and reception that was in line with other boxes we've tested. On the other hand, we found its remote to be difficult to use and its EPG (electronic programming guide) was less-informative than the ones found on most other DTV boxes. While the TB100MW9 handles the basics well with good reception and video quality, there's no reason not to spend your $40 coupon on a box with a better remote or more features, such as the Zenith DTT901, the RCA DTA800, or the Dish Network TR-40 CRA.
The TB100MW9 sports a basic "black box" design, with the faceplate featuring a stripe of glossy black plastic in the middle. There's a single indicator light in the center of the stripe that glows green when it's on and orange when it's off. There are no other buttons whatsoever on the front panel--not even a power button. There is a main power switch on the side of the unit, but it won't actually turn the unit on, it just gives you the ability to turn the unit on with the remote. That means you can't really use the TV100MW9 at all if the remote goes missing--a real flaw.
We'll admit to being sticklers about good remote design, but the TB100MW9's clicker is bad by almost any measure. There's a directional pad in the center, but it breaks the standard convention of including the "OK" button in the middle and instead places it off to the side, which caused us to hit the wrong button several times. The other keys are all tiny and similarly-sized, including even the important channel up/down buttons. It's also missing a button to toggle between different aspect ratios--you have to jump into the setup menu to do this. We were also disappointed to note that the remote can't control a TV, so you'll need to fumble with two remotes. That might seem like a lot of complaining over a remote, but if this is the main way you watch TV, it's something you'll use all the time. If an easy-to-use remote is a big priority, make sure you check out the competing RCA DTA800.
The Magnavox does technically include an EPG, but it's one of the most basic we've seen. Pressing the EPG button, the TV100MW9's remote brings up current information about the program playing, and pressing "right" on the directional pad will show information about programs coming on in the future. This design is pretty limited, as it doesn't give you enough information on a single screen--you have to scroll to see the next 2 hours of programming on NBC (for example) or what's on a variety of stations at 8 p.m. We definitely prefer the Dish Network TR-40 CRA's EPG, which shows much more program information at once, or even the somewhat limited "What's Next" screen on the RCA DTA800, to what Magnavox offers.

The unfortunate events at the nuclear power station in Fukushima, Japan, has resulted in plenty of science talk in the media.
Some of it has been well explained... Some of it has not.
At periodicvideos and Sixty Symbols we've posted some videos to help clarify a few points.
Most recent is this video about millisieverts - a unit I'd never even heard of!
We also posted some extra footage from this video at Test Tube.
And as I've previously blogged, here's The Professor on how reactors work and some of the things that can go wrong.
He also discusses some of the chemistry going on, such as why people take iodine and why there have been hydrogen explosions.
