CCNC's Dishner's Resumé Impressive
- Print print this page
- Discuss Comment, Blog about
Ever since she was a small child, Kathee Dishner has excelled at whatever she undertook, whether it was learning to ride a motorcycle, being a gymnast, or working her way to the top in her professional career.
Her list of accomplishments is long and impressive, and covers such diverse activities as photography, cheerleading, sports and the hospitality industry.
And she has done it, for the most part, in things that are usually dominated by males.
For the past three years she has been club manager at the Country Club of North Carolina, and one of a small number of female club managers in the nation.
"It doesn't bother me to be in a position that is male-dominated," she says. "It's been this way all my working career. But ours is an industry that is seeing more and more females become involved in management as our professional roles spread out to new territories."
At CCNC, she is in a tri-management arrangement with Jeff Dotson, the director of golf, and Joann Phillips, the chief financial officer. "The three of us work together closely," she says, "and are responsible for our areas of expertise. It's a pleasure working with them, and we work extremely well together."
Dishner, 51, was an Air Force brat who was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and lived in Alabama, California, Ohio and Maryland before settling in Virginia, where she attended high school and college.
As a schoolgirl she thrived on athletics and competition, which set the tone for her business training. She even learned to ride a motorcycle so her father wouldn't have to ride alone.
Dishner also had strong encouragement and motivation from her mother, who worked both in and outside the home; her grandmother, who was secretary to a U.S. Supreme Court justice; and Peggy Kirk Bell, the renowned golf champion and owner of Pine Needles and Mid Pines resorts in Southern Pines.
"All were strong role models and helped me immensely," she says. "I learned much from them that has helped me throughout my career."
Dishner's grandfather was the official White House photographer during the Roosevelt and Truman administrations and served as president of the White House Photographers Association. "His influence was what lured me into photography as a hobby," she says.
After graduating from James Madison with a degree in communications, and getting married, Dishner ventured to California and Arizona before coming to the Sandhills, where she was hired as director of sales and marketing at Pine Needles. Her tenure there lasted 10 years and saw her work her way to the top, taking over as resort manager from 1993 to 1996.
"Working with the Bell family was especially helpful," Dishner says, "and was educational and enjoyable in every way."
During this time she also attained the presidency of the N.C. Chapter of Hotel Sales and Marketing Association, taught two hospitality courses at Sandhills Community College, and helped originate the Sandhills Convention and Visitors Bureau.
For a year after leaving Pine Needles, she worked on her own to create an online office that was designed to connect a company's branches in an unprecedented way. She sold her interest in the company in 1997 and became vice president of marketing and food and beverage at Signet Golf Associates, a golf management company. She later became VP of operations for the group that handled multiple golf courses. She is also the author of a book, "Ask Him Into Your Heart," which is in its second printing.
After 11 years with Signet, Dishner joined CCNC. "It's a pleasure to be a part of such a fine private club," she says. "It's steeped in tradition, has 960 members, two fabulous golf courses and a talented, creative staff."
Founded in 1963, CCNC is one of the state's largest and most prestigious private clubs with a resident, local, North Carolina and national category of members. Its two golf courses, Dogwood and Cardinal, are rated among North Carolina's best.
"Clubs around the nation are experiencing trying times because of adverse economic conditions," Dishner explains. "Our financial status is strong, and we're fortunate to have members that use the club and continue to recommend it to other families and friends."
The former Kathee Stoy has been married to Jess Dishner, who is a partner in the construction and development business, for 30 years. The couple have two daughters, Brandee, 28, and Brittney, 22, who was recently married to Luis Arce.
When time permits, which is seldom, she enjoys traveling, walking, reading, writing and shopping.
"But there just aren't enough hours in the day for spare-time activities," she says. She and her husband are active in The Village Chapel, in Pinehurst.
"I would like to become a better golfer," she admits. "I promised one of our golf professionals that I will find time to take some lessons this year."
If there is one person Dishner would like to run into, it would be the college guidance counselor who told her she probably would not be very successful in the business world because she's a female.
"I was smart enough to change guidance counselors, graduated in three years, and haven't looked back," she says. "I was always taught to never give up. I hope that I have been influential to other young women who want to be in the club and hospitality industry because it's a wonderful and challenging career."
Bill Hensley is a North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame freelance writer and golf publicist who lives in Charlotte.

As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton heads to retirement, news outlets are sure to write deep reflections on her legacy. But let's not forget something many will not include on a list of her achievements: The outgoing secretary is a Grammy Award winning artist.
Yup; she won one back in 1997 for the audio version of her book It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us. The award was for best spoken word album. "I didn't even know people who couldn't sing a note and who were tone deaf were eligible for any Grammys," she told reporters after the win.

MBA Life: Finances. How we afford business school.
Thursday, July 19th, 2012People are naturally curious about our lifestyle.
- Are you living off of student loans?
- Do you have to eat ramen noodles every night?
- Did you guys have to accumulate a massive amount of debt to finance business school?
The answer to all the above is no. However experiences vary.
According to Poets & Quants the total cost of an MBA at the Cornell Johnson School of Business is $142,404. Ouch. It hurts so much to see it right in front of me in black and white. Obviously we aren't rich but we're making it work.
Here's how:
Sacrifice – My husband and I met at a diversity event for prospective students at Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business. We had clearly defined goals for our educations and careers. Life sometimes got in the way but we never ventured too far off the path.
My husband and I made conscious decisions about how we would (and would not) spend our money. We spent almost a year without a car while living in Burlington, Vermont. We walked to the bus stop and rode the bus for ten minutes to work. I remember the bitter chill of the Lake Champlain wind enveloping me and begging my husband to kill me. Just kill me. Put me out of my misery. IT IS TOO DAMN COLD TO LIVE.
The good old days.
People thought we were broke. Nope. Thrifty! We saved our money, found an awesome deal on an SUV, and paid that car in full in less than a year. All that sacrifice equals no car payment while in business school.
There were other sacrifices as well. We chose not to have a wedding. Not necessarily out of frugality but more because it just isn't our thing. It saved us a ton of money. We got married in front of a schoolbus turned cheeseburger stand by a justice of the peace in front of Lake Champlain. It was perfect and cheap.
We were careful with money and saved up enough to cover our living expenses for two years.
Loans – Can't really avoid them. Thankfully there are a ton of options for graduate students. Try to keep your credit as clean as you can. Unfortunately you'll probably be piling these new loans on top of existing undergraduate loans and that can be scary. We use loans as a last resort. For instance we're studying/traveling abroad in London next year and are financing that out of our personal budget. If we had to take out more loans to cover the expense I'm not sure the return on our investment would outweigh the interest we would accrue on the loans. It's hard to quantify but I like avoiding another monthly bill when possible.
Be mindful of the lending options presented to you and use loans as a last resort. If you can avoid them. Do so. Sounds like common sense but plenty of people sign on those dotted lines without exploring alternatives.
Scholarships – There are many incredible organizations and associations that have a lot to offer students. The one I am most familiar with is The Consortium. They award "merit-based, full-tuition fellowships to America's best and brightest candidates".
My husband wasn't one of the chosen few (boourns) but we know several of the incredibly accomplished and well deserving people who are fellows. It's a great place to be. My husband received a generous scholarship from his school and we are thankful. It definitely helps.
Don't forget to research the Consortium and similar organizations if you're a prospective. Each school has its own scholarship system too. It never hurts to try and most applications are straight forward and simple. The more money you have in the bank the more stress free fun you can have during your B-school experience. Plan ahead.
A six figure tuition bill is a scary thing. Don't get overwhelmed. With careful planning business school is possible. It's a fantastic investment in your family's future and 100% worth it. Make it happen.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am very concerned about the traffic situation here in the United States and
strongly support the recommendations of PROWAC. I think we blind people need as
much help crossing streets as we can get. I was once hit by a car because
someone did not stop at the light even though the light was in my favor. I think
we need all the help we can get to be able to cross streets safely.

Gateway Arch, St Louis
In the center of the park is the Gateway Arch, symbol of the city's role as the "Gateway to the West". This parabolic arch of stainless steel, 625 ft high, was erected in 1959-65 to the design of Eero Saarinen, based on an unexecuted project by Adalberto Libera for the entrance to the Esposizione Universale di Roma of 1942. Eight elevators run up to the observation platform on the highest point of the arch. Under the arch are the Visitor Center and the Museum of Westward Expansion, and beyond it the boarding place for the Mississippi excursion boats. Moored in the river are a number of floating restaurants.

By Melissa Novacaska
In one of her odd, yet deep pieces of advice (and there have been quite a few), Ms. Pillsbury compares the loss of an icon coinciding with the ending of high school, to the disappearance of one's childhood. This prompts Mr. Schuester's Glee club to do a tribute to the late Whitney Houston and to connect her songs to their final days at McKinley High. It was a nice gesture, but I felt the diva's songs really only reflected the club's sex life, unless I interpreted it wrong!
We finally heard more about the Schuester/Pillsbury's wedding (geez I feel like they've been engaged for ages), while Kurt and Blaine's relationship is put to the test, when a fellow NYC wannabe who happens to be an overly rambunctious and a cheesy texter enters Kurt's life. I was surprised the heat between Rachel and Santana simmered down, but the temperature keeps rising for Quinn and the dreads boy… sorry Jesus. Is there a time when this girl isn't causing orgasms?
If you're asking "How Will I Know" the five things Melissa learned on last night's episode "Dance With Somebody," take a look below.
1) Mr. Schuester is so eager to move up the date of his wedding to Ms. Pillsbury, he hires the one and only wedding planner available, Mr. Lavender. But his actions backfire and Schuester resorts to a campground venue instead, before coming to his senses and realizing the Glee kids will make time for the wedding, no matter when it is. Geez Will, have you forgotten how OCD your fiancé is to dirt… I don't think a campground will make it any better.
2) The chemistry between Quinn and Joe a.k.a "Mr. Chastity" increases with each round of physiotherapy. Is stretching a person's leg the newest way to get turned on? Not sure if they want to become a couple yet, but one thing is definite… they'd both rather not lose the one thing they care about most — their virginity. But how many times must Quinn be reminded she's already lost that package a while ago! Read more…

Sensi Paradise Beach Resort Overview
About Sensi Paradise Beach Resort On the eastern side of Koh Tao, at the quiet end of the island's longest beach, lies Sensi Paradise Beach Resort - an unobtrusive masterpiece of luxurious, tranquil living perfectly blended with the natural beauty of its environment.
Koh Tao, or Turtle Island, is perhaps the smallest inhabited landmass in the Gulf and boasts some of the most amazing diving locations in Asia, if not the entire world. Covered in lush virgin forest, surrounded by colorful coral reefs and only 21km�, it was named after the sea turtles which still swim in the surrounding waters. Koh Tao was �discovered' by divers and travelers only very recently and it remains pristine � an island paradise which truly has to be seen to be believed.
Nestled between powdery white sand, verdant jungle and the sparkling azure ocean, bordered by coconut palms and ancient sea-worn stones, Sensi Paradise is proud to provide Koh Tao with her first international-standard resort.
We welcome all discerning travelers who come here seeking the good life, and we promise to show you the true meaning of the word Paradise! The warm seas of the Gulf of Thailand are home to countless tropical islands and vast, unspoiled coral reefs. The Samui archipelago, composed of over 80 islands, is an area renowned as one of the top diving spots to be found anywhere. And the island of Koh Tao , located at the northernmost edge of the group, could well be the best-kept secret in that area.Room Facilities - Air conditioning

Up until some 10 years ago, the sighting of a Broad Scarlet was a newsworthy rarity in the countries of Northern Europe. Not so today; this species - maybe more than any other - has used the rising temperatures in Northern Europe (presumably an effect of global warming) to rapidly extend its range northwards, and in the summers of 2006 and 2007 we saw large populations of this species in the Netherlands. Of African origins, Crocothemis erythraea made its home in the Mediterranean basin much earlier, and here in Central Italy it is easily one of the commonest and most widespread species, at times exasperatingly so. It's a medium-sized dragonfly with a broad, slightly flattened abdomen. Its most distinguishing features include the male's all-red body (only the hind wing patch near the base is orangey yellow), and the yellow female's pale antehumerals and the pale stripe on top of her thorax.

Movie review: 'Phil Spector' nearly an ideal HBO movie
Phil Spector remains an enigma after his jailing in 2009 for the 2003 death of the actress Lana Clarkson, who died after a late-night gunshot wound. He's in prison today. Was it suicide, an accident, or murder? Although I have no opinion on the crime, I found the film uncanny because I have a connection, eerie and meaningless but undeniable, to Spector and the means of death.By Roger Ebert , April 05, 2013

Hi Ferdes,Thanks for the tips. A few questions for you : I wonder if the mouse acceleration would not be just better being deactivated directly in the options of the xorg configuration in the PCC ?
Could you point to the docs which helped you find out each of theses tricks ?
What about the console commands ? Should they be turned by the users who need them, into script shells and placed in the $HOME/.config/openbox/scripts directory to be launched from the autostart.sh file ?

Welbeck or Chicharito: Which Manchester United striker is most under threat?
Goal.com has exclusively revealed Atletico Madrid's interest in Chicharito and with Robert Lewandowski linked with a summer move, Sir Alex Ferguson could choose to let a forward go
DEBATEBy Oliver Platt
Manchester United's irresistible attacking quartet has put the 19-times champions on course to match Chelsea's record Premier League points tally of 95 but Sir Alex Ferguson could be tempted into making further tweaks to his forward line in the close season.
Goal.com exclusively revealed on Tuesday that Atletico Madrid have targeted Mexico international Chicharito amid speculation surrounding the future of strike duo Falcao and Adrian Lopez.
Robert Lewandowski looks set to move from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford in the summer and for all the success United's illustrious collection of forwards have brought so far, surely even Ferguson would struggle to balance the competing ambitions of five full international strikers.
Robin van Persie has been such a success that he has already drawn favourable comparisons with club icon Eric Cantona, while Wayne Rooney remains his nation's finest front man. Danny Welbeck has progressed through the club's academy to earn a place in the first team and Chicharito has proved himself to be a model professional with a killer instinct that has got United out of jail on more than one occasion.
Something, though, may have to give. Goal.com examines the extent to which each player could come under threat in the coming months.
This one is straightforward. Van Persie is quickly establishing himself not only as United's premier striker - that much seems a given already - but as one of Ferguson's best signings in more than 26 years in charge.
The princely sum of €28.8 million would normally be considered a hefty fee for a 29-year-old but in a climate of high-profile failures, Van Persie represents good value. Some United fans have voiced concerns at the failure to address certain weaknesses under the ownership of the Glazer family and perhaps fear that Ferguson is adopting a Wengerite mantra of stubborn prudence, but he has retained his taste for a marquee purchase.
It hardly needs to be said that the Cantona comparisons are premature but certainly Van Persie's influence so far this season can be placed alongside that of the likes of Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba in their title-winning Arsenal and Chelsea teams.
Van Persie scooped player of the year honours in 2011-12 despite Arsenal's failure to compete for medals and this season, at his current pace, it is difficult to imagine him losing his grip on them. He will not be making another move any time soon.
Rooney has not found goals and form difficult to come by as United's out-and-out centre forward but now he has a chance to shine in his favoured position. "It's hard when you're 5ft 10in and you're up against centre-halves who are 6ft 3in, but it's my second favourite position after playing off another striker," he has said of the lone striking role. There are few better to play off than Van Persie.
Rooney has not scored at the Dutchman's prolific rate from his more withdrawn berth but he has weighed in with more assists despite being limited to 14 league appearances due to injury. Only Juan Mata and Steven Gerrard are ahead of him in that regard, but only by one assist having both played more matches.
Most have been happy to forgive and forget but it is difficult to imagine that the relationship between Rooney and Ferguson was not in some way tainted by the 26-year-old's shock transfer request in October 2010.
For that reason it is perhaps no longer unthinkable that Rooney could leave Old Trafford, but it would nevertheless be a shock of some magnitude to see him depart in the immediate future. He is the most creative of the club's forwards and clearly the most comfortable in the deeper-lying role.
After a slower 2011-12 campaign, Javier Hernandez, or Chicharito, is back on track and well on his way to putting away 20 goals in a season for the second time in his three-year career so far in the north west.
Chicharito's value lies not simply in his tremendous goalscoring prowess but equally in his humble nature and willingness to wait for his chance in the starting XI. He is reminiscent of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer not only in his boyish appearance.
When juggling four strikers of such quality, that is invaluable. How long it will last is another matter. For all Chicharito has achieved in two-and-a-half years at Old Trafford, he could have more to give; it is difficult to see him being truly entrusted with the centre forward position at United in order to prove himself as a genuinely lethal No.9 in European football.
Chicharito has been linked with a move away from United, often to La Liga, before and Atletico, who could move Falcao and Adrian on as they did Fernando Torres and Sergio Aguero, might offer him the perfect chance. Ferguson would surely not begrudge him it.
First team opportunities have been difficult to come by for Welbeck to the extent that he was linked with a loan switch to Reading earlier in January. Those rumours have since been shot down by Royals boss Brian McDermott, but they were indicative of the frustrating time the 22-year-old has had so far in 2012-13.
Welbeck is yet to establish himself as a truly prolific striker but he is quick, strong and technically gifted. He is also a highly-accomplished player off the ball for his age. But after notching a respectable 12 last season, the Longsight-born player's only goal in the current campaign came against Stoke back in October.
He has scored three times in his last three outings in a role of increasing prominence for England, but Van Persie has proved an immovable object at club level and Chicharito has become the recognised bench threat.
Ferguson would surely loath to allow an academy graduate of such ability leave the club so early in his career but he faces a challenge in integrating Welbeck to the benefit of the striker's continuing development, while Van Persie and Rooney dominate the picture.

This wood-fired brick oven bakery in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains uses simplicity and a devotion to locally sourced, organic ingredients to appeal to a cosmopolitan and socially aware clientele.
Asheville, N.C., is a sort of crossroads. It is Appalachian to the core, but its temperate climate makes it attractive both to Northerners seeking shelter from the snow and Southerners seeking respite from the heat. And the city's status as a gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains lures tourists and permanent transplants alike to the area. The resulting community is all-inclusive and a melting pot of food preferences.
Flat Rock Village Bakery in nearby Flat Rock takes the simple, real elements of a mountain town bakery and runs with them. It uses locally sourced, all-natural and organic ingredients that sophisticated, socially aware consumers demand to produce a range of simple but upscale baked products that appeal to the far-flung tastes of the blended community.
David Workman and Scott Unfried are co-owners of the bakery. They also share a restaurant, West First Wood-fired Pizza in Hendersonville, N.C. Unfried started Flat Rock Village Bakery in 2001, then partnered with Workman in 2006 to open the restaurant.
Unfried originally only sold bread out of 600 sq. ft. of production space attached to a popular gift shop and general store called The Wrinkled Egg. The bakery became popular with the store's patrons; primarily families going to and from the nearby summer camps. When Workman joined, the bakery commandeered an additional 600 sq. ft. of retail space from the gift shop that would serve as the café.
Workman runs the bakery, while Unfried handles the restaurant. Flat Rock produces all of the pizza dough and bread for West First, which has a brick oven of its own. Local artisan baker Jon Hartzler joined the team as head baker shortly after Workman became involved.
The wood-burning brick oven hearth is the defining characteristic of Flat Rock Village Bakery. The basic oven dovetails nicely with the bakery's rustic, earthy style.
"It's nice to take some of the extra technology out of the baking process every now and then," Workman says. "I also love the brick oven bread; it bakes really fast, and it's a totally different kind of crust because it doesn't have the steam injection. It relies on the natural steam released from the breads during the baking process, so it's a thicker, chewier crust. It also lends itself more to sourdough breads, so that's what we focus on. Ciabatta is our only non-sourdough."
But the brick oven also presents some challenges. The biggest issue is temperature variation — the oven cools as production wears on. This necessitates a precise baking schedule to get certain breads in and out in their ideal temperature zone. The oven also had a steep learning curve. In the beginning, if it was fired too hot or too late in the evening; morning bakers would arrive at 5 a.m. to find the oven unusable. They had to open all the doors, clean out the embers and wait until the oven cooled to a working temperature.
"This oven really holds heat well," Workman says. "We have temperature probes in several places, so we now know what temperature we can expect at 5 a.m. based on a reading at 5 p.m. the night before." They then make adjustments before going home in order to hit a narrow temperature target window that's 12 hours away.
At peak production, the oven needs to be exceptionally hot. Bakers start baking bread at 4 a.m., and the oven needs to stay hot enough to still be baking bread at 10 a.m. With so many batches, the doors are frequently opened and closed, so the temperature slope is steeper than it is during a normal production cycle. This affects the entire baking schedule, with different products occupying different spaces on a variable temperature slope. It's an equation the bakers have to work out every day, but Workman says the bread the oven produces makes it worthwhile. Loaves bake very quickly when the oven is at its ideal temperature; just 20 minutes to produce a thick crust with a good color and moist interior.
The bakery uses a lot of wood, sometimes more than a cord (a load of 4 ft. by 4 ft. by 8 ft. of chopped and stacked foot-long logs) per week. As with his baking ingredients, Workman uses locally sourced wood to fuel the oven. The area is heavily wooded, but the supply chain isn't without its hiccups.
"We go through a lot of suppliers. Eventually, the suppliers' stockpile dwindles, and they start bringing us green wood, and that's not good," Workman says. "Green wood is difficult to light, it pops and doesn't burn very hot. So when we start to get green wood, we have to find a new supplier."
A wood-fired brick oven requires extra labor and planning, but Workman believes the oven is an extension of the bakery's persona.
All the breads, Danish, croissants and bagels use preferments and are retarded overnight. This eases the production schedule and the slow, cool fermentation increases the products' flavor.
Scones are the best-selling bakery item at Flat Rock, and it sells between 40 and 150 per day, depending on the season. They are an inexpensive accompaniment to the bakery's coffee program, and customers buy them by the box — especially the cranberry apricot variety.
"They are definitely the best scones I've ever had, and they are easy to make. If we start to run out on a busy morning, we can quickly mix more, and they are out of the oven 18 minutes later. Sometimes customers come in looking for a certain flavor, and if we don't have it, we make it while they wait. We really try to go out of our way to keep the customers happy and to sell them the freshest bakery products possible," Workman says.
Due in part to the population of New York transplants, bagels are also popular. The bakery sells five to seven dozen bagels on busy weekend days during the summer season. That might not sound like much, but for a bakery with 600 ft. of production space, that's a lot of hand-shaped, boiled and brick oven-baked bagels. Filled Danish and croissants combine for sales of as many as 10 dozen per day, again depending on the season. Sticky buns are only offered on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but they are big sellers when available.
Though sweetgoods are popular, Flat Rock distinguishes itself from traditional southern bakeries by focusing on wholesome, organic and natural elements to go along with pure indulgence. All Danish and croissants are hand laminated, using organic flour, organic eggs and high-quality organic dried fruit.

"We generally get a good response from anything whole grain, and it seems like more people are asking for it," Workman says. "We position ourselves as a very organic, healthy bakery by making everything from scratch with organic ingredients — and when possible, with whole grains. I want customers to know that when they are indulging in our bakery items, they are getting the best ingredients possible so they can be guilt-free."
Cookies and brownies are made with organic whole wheat pastry flour. The average sticky bun customer might not care that they are eating a honey, organic sugar, real butter, hand-laminated bun without any corn syrup, but Workman wouldn't make them any other way.
As evidenced by the popularity of the nine-grain bread, Flat Rock's customers are sensitive to health trends. Bread is a cornerstone of the bakery, but the focus is narrow, with only a few varieties of sourdough, specialty and ciabatta breads being produced daily. Sourdough, whole wheat sourdough, sunflower and nine-grain breads comprise the crusty breads. Specialty breads include cranberry, walnut, olive rosemary, wheat walnut and three-cheese garlic basil. Fougasse, a popular specialty choice available only on weekends, is a flatbread made from ciabatta dough stuffed with fresh basil pesto and asiago or fontina cheese.
Pizza and other lunch menu items account for 35 percent of sales. "Really, without lunch, we'd have a hard time making it," Workman says. "We have a small crew, and to have a café, for a bakery like this, is key. It enables Flat Rock to remain 100 percent retail, so we don't have to go hunt down wholesale accounts. It also enables us to concentrate on the bakery products that excite us, such as specialty breads or pastries that might not have the mass appeal necessary for a wholesale market."
Flat Rock is one of seven bakeries in the Asheville area to participate in a movement focused on increasing self-sufficiency in ingredients. In response to the commodities price roller coaster of 2008 and 2009, Asheville baker Jennifer Lapidus started the North Carolina Bread Flour Project. Her idea was to relieve area bakeries' dependence on global flour markets as much as possible by connecting bakers with North Carolina farmers who are willing to grow organic wheat for bread flour.
Lapidus acquired a mill in Asheville for the group, and the plan is to have North Carolina-grown flour for local bakeries to use as early as this summer. The mill won't replace all of the flour required for production, but bakers can offer and promote certain breads that use exclusively North Carolinian organic flour. Workman acknowledges that the project has a lot to work to do, but he is excited by the fact that it is getting such traction.
"This movement for North Carolina-grown flour is definitely influenced by the nationwide demand for local food, and this is especially strong in this area. We have a large number of tailgate and farmers markets, organic vegetable farms and organically raised meats," he says. "As a bakery/restaurant owner I have always tried to support my local growers because it makes sense on every level. The food is fresher and better, and these farmers are my customers so it is a self-supporting cycle. My customers always respond enthusiastically to locally sourced food, even if it means they might pay a little more. We have a tailgate market in Flat Rock, and I try to load up on produce for the bakery each week."
The greater Asheville area of western North Carolina seems to be ahead of other places in the Southeast with its progressive commitment to local food and artisan bakeries. A real foodie vibe permeates the area. Workman credits this mentality to the fact that people living in the Asheville area are there for the high quality of life and natural beauty of the mountainous region. "We want to work hard, play harder and eat really well," he says.
The small scale of the operation allows Workman to maintain consistent quality. The bakery doesn't set out to sell hundreds of loaves of bread per day or produce 30 different pastry varieties. Instead, Workman focuses on a few products and spends extra time to make sure all are done well. A low staff attrition rate aids in consistency.
Hartzler has been making the breads five days a week for four years, and Bonnie Fox has been making the scones, cookie dough, brownies, Danish fillings and granola for two years. Workman depends on his employees, so he works to keep them happy and committed because changeover affects quality. Also, he is in the bakery every day, so he can keep an eye on things. Everyone makes mistakes, but with a small group that is together every day, someone is likely to notice mistakes before they get to the customers.
"We really care about giving the customers the best. Jon and I both love baking, especially the breads and laminated pastry doughs. He does a great job with all of it, nurturing the doughs like they were his kids," Workman says. "I know that I'm expecting the customer to pay $5 to $6 for a loaf of bread, so we take the time to make sure they are worth it."

Click and Grow is an easy-to-use electronic smartpot that grows plants without watering and fertilizing. You don't have to have any knowledge about gardening, instead everything will be taken care by the smart technology. Click and Grow measures all the necessary parameters and doses an exact amount of water, fertilizer and air, according to the plant's needs. No more constant watering, guesswork and worrying whether your plant is getting exactly what it needs – the smart technology takes care of all of that for you.
Click and Grow has two important parts: - The flowerpot – Click and Grow flowerpot includes electronics, sensors, batteries, a pump and a water reservoir. It does not include seeds, nutrients, a plant or software for growing the plant. - The plant cartridge – inside a plant cartridge there are seeds, nutrients and special software for growing the plant in the cartridge.
Replaceable plant cartridges What's awesome is that the flowerpot and the cartridge work together just like a printer and a toner. Just like you can change the empty printer cartridge, you can change the plant cartridge in the Click and Grow pot. If the plant's natural life cycle ends, you can remove the old plant cartridge and insert a new one. Immediately the flowerpot will start to grow a new plant! Therefore you can use the Click and Grow smartpot several times by just replacing the plant cartridges.
What do you need to get started? Remove lids from the pot Insert 4 AA batteries into battery vault (red). Fill the water reservoir with good quality water up to the indicated water level mark. Do not pour water into the cassette! Place your pot in a spot with good light conditions. Wait 1-2 weeks for the cute sprouts to appear. Feel proud!
Click and Grow comes in a starter kit that contains both the smartpot and a plant cartridge and it's very easy to set up.
Add batteries (not included in the starter-kit) and fill the water reservoir with 1 litre good quality tap or bottled water up to the indicated water level mark. Place the smartpot in a spot with good light conditions and you're ready to go! Yes, it's that easy!
There are two things that you need to do on rare occasions. After a month or two you need to refill the water reservoir and once a year you need to change the batteries. But what's great is that the smart flowerpot will let you know when it's time to add water or to change the batteries. There's no guesswork involved whatsoever! If the flowerpot needs water, it will blink a blue light and if it needs new batteries a red light will blink as a reminder. If everything is alright, a green light will blink once in five minutes.
What plants can you grow in the Click and Grow flowerpot?
You can grow plants in the Click and Grow smartpot that are available in the special plant cartridges. The cartridge assortment is very wide – a total of 13 plant cartridges containing both bedding plants and herbs. From cockscomb to mini-tomato, there are plants for every taste!
We're constantly testing new plants to add to our selection. Overall, the Click and Grow plants come in 3 categories: - Beautiful – flowers and other bedding plants. - Fast – plants which sprout very quickly, but won't have a long life cycle. - Useful – will include seasoning, herbs and other edible and drinkable plants.
The Click and Grow makes it pretty much brain dead simple to grow a plant, in my case basil. You put in the batteries, add some water , stick it in a window for a few months and voila, you have a basil plant. I'll probably try the chili pepper one next.
Stephen Svajian
Would you recommend this for someone who routinely kills plants? I'm thinking about getting this for my wife and she can't keep a plant alive. My wife = 1/green thumb.
James Patterson
Yes. Like I said, there is literally nothing to it. You put in the batteries and pour some water in the tank and let it sit in a window. Anyone can do it.

IT'S HARD to understand how anyone could make this particular mistake, first reported by Buzzfeed. The only way it breaks down is that the death camps were in Poland, so they were "Polish death camps." It's ridiculous to anyone knowing history, which I'm certain Pres. Obama does.
It's a lot easier to understand making a gaffe like this if you know what it's like to speak often, have a packed daily agenda, going from one daily crisis to another.
However, if you're someone who never or rarely speaks in public it's impossible to relate.
It's unfortunate, but it happens to the best of them.
Sean Hannity regularly makes fun of Pres. Obama whenever he misspeaks. It's a favorite tactic of the right, but considering all the flack they took during George W. Bush's gafferiffic presidency it is obviously too hard to resist.
The Poles were not amused. The gaffe by Pres. Obama now leading news on the Polish Prime Minister's website.

Chronicles of Life with Multiple Sclerosis
I've decided that I can't date/marry a Spoonie. We would just shrivel up and die together. But I suppose that's the most romantic way to go. Even though we'd be moaning and wanting to hold each other but not being able to because of the pain… Depressing yet beautiful… I have mixed feelings.
I've had this same conversation with myself… and then I wondered what healthy person would jump into this sort of mess willingly.. hmm
(Source: deepwanderlust)
To all my MS, Fibro, Lupus, RA, Pancreatitis, and chronic pain friends. Please try your best to have a wonderful Christmas. I know this time of year is exceptionally hard as we are pushing ourselves and trying to appear normal around friends and family. Trying not to show our pain so we won't make them feel "uncomfortable". But tonight, I received a huge reality check as to what my body can and cannot do.
My face feels like acid has been poured on it. The muscle in my left arm is protruding and so tight and exceptionally painful. My leg muscles are so tight that walking hurts like heck and when staying still it still hurts like heck. Headache escalating quickly.
Doing my best to not let it steal my holiday spirit. It's easy to say but hard to ensure that is doesn't.
In slight addition to the aforementioned, I go through phases of completely longing for human affection and then switching to total misanthropist mode. Now, i'm in my 'longing for affection' mode. Maybe it's because i feel so completely empty inside i just need something to bring me back up to earth, and i feel like maybe if i had someone who was genuinely interested in me as a person and not my fucking symptoms/asthetics/limitations/failures/freakish behaviour as a result of the previous, then maybe i might actually have a reason to feel almost human like again. I miss conversations that would end in the early hours, I miss that connection, I miss just feeling wanted and needed and even special? I miss it. I'll never get that back because I have declined in more ways than one, physically, literally, metaphorically, mentally etc…everything you name it and i have well and truly declined in it. So i'll never feel comfortable in that scenario again because of how anxious and paranoid and depressed and ugly i have become because of my ever present tortorous pain levels and distressing symptoms hacking away at me like a chainsaw. Yet still i long for such affection even though I wouldn't know what to do with it, probably push it away lest I let down my guard and become exposed and vulnerable and that terrifies me because i'm not ready for that. AH contradicting life and times of myself.
I want to write a novel, as well. I feel like everything in my head, needs it's own book. I can churn out sentences like my body churns out it's undigested food. In seconds. meh.
I am done with this pain.
Seriously, seven years is enough.
I've had a major busy day today and I'm still not done.
I've done the shopping and washing and ceaned out the fish tank - which cost many spoons - and I still need to eat and pack and shower. And I need to be asleep around 11-midnight, to…
Right now, I am somewhere between 10 and 11.
Seriously screaming and crying right now.
Anyone with advice on muscle spasms? It's both legs. Also hands, feet, back, neck, and throat. But the legs are what is really doing me in.
Seriously, any MSer with advice please comment or message me. I am desperate here and pot is not an option.
I am already maxed out on Baclofen, Valium, and tizandine.
I wish I had advice.. I'm maxed out on baclofen too..
have been so painful lately, huge lumpy reactions that hurt and itch for weeks after if not forever. When I was on it before I got bad reactions but not quite this bad.. I got used to doing them.. now I am sitting infront of the damn autoinjector wincing before I even take the cap off. Add the weather induced horrifying pain? I am not a happy camper right now. ::whineyface::
and I probably don't want you to know so you can continue to think i'm thr mr you knew and loved (or tolerated if we're being real hah)

In late March, Major General Ambrose E. Burnside's army advanced on Fort Macon, a third system casemated masonry fort that commanded the channel to Beaufort, 35 miles southeast of New Berne.
The Union force invested the fort with siege works and, on April 26, opened an accurate fire on the fort, which soon breached the masonry walls.
Within a few hours the fort's scarp began to collapse, and the Confederates hoisted a white flag.
This action demonstrated the inadequacy of masonry forts against large-bore, rifled artillery.
Result(s): Union victory
Location: Carteret County
Campaign: Burnside's North Carolina Expedition (January-July 1862) next battle in campaign previous battle in campaign
Date(s): March 23-April 26, 1862
Principal Commanders: Brigadier General John G. Parke [US]; Lieutenant Colonel Moses J. White [CS]
Forces Engaged: Parke's Division of Department of North Carolina, 3rd Division [US]; Fort Macon Garrison [CS]
