Butch Lennon is an original member at Fairmont Golf Club.
Curtis McGirt grew up on the course, playing up to 54 holes per day as a teenager in the summer months.
The memories for these men and many others will come flooding back Saturday when a golf tournament is held to observe the 50th anniversary of the course.
Lennon was there for the groundbreaking in February 1963.
"I don't remember a lot about that day," the 72-year-old Lennon said. "But I do remember Paul Thompson hitting the first ball. He was our pharmacist and he planted some pine trees on the course."
McGirt has a photo of the groundbreaking and many more. He has about 5,500 negatives and 1,700 prints of photos taken at the course over a 30-year period. He acquired them from a friend, Paul Whitted, the former owner of the local newspaper.
McGirt is now the unofficial historian of the club. Some of the photos are posted in the clubhouse.
"Those photos were quite a find," he said. "It launched me into a retirement career of restoring old photos. I'm a history buff."
McGirt remembers playing the course as a teenager with his friends.
"It was a great place to go play golf," he said. "It was nothing for us to play 54 holes a day in the summer, carrying the clubs and sitting under a shade tree to rest when we got tired."
Of course, it was about more than golf. It taught lessons about life.
"We had always had a lot of supervision out there," McGirt said. "If you messed up, it would always get back home to your parents."
Today, McGirt is the father of the most famous golfer to come out of Fairmont - PGA Tour member William McGirt. The elder McGirt remembers his son coming to the golf course at age 2 to swing a club and ride in the golf cart.
"When he was born, my sister-in-law looked at the size of his hands and said, 'He's going to make a golfer,' " Curtis said.
William got his first set of clubs at age 5 and various family members would take him to the course.
"He always wanted to play," Curtis said.
William eventually earned a golf scholarship to Wofford, spent about 10 years on the professional mini-tours and finally made it to the PGA Tour last year.
The course opened with nine holes and about 10 years later, the second nine was added. It was built by the town of Fairmont and designed by J. Porter Gibson.
The course was originally named Flag Tree. Lennon said it was named after two massive oak trees that were in the middle of the third fairway and "had some resemblance to a flag waving."
The trees are no longer there. One was lost to a lightning strike and the club took the other one down.
The course was reborn in 2009 when it was purchased by Tony Mackey. The course and clubhouse had fallen into disrepair under the previous owners.
Mackey was the previous owner of Land-O-Lakes golf course in Whiteville and had sold it.
"I wasn't ready to retire," he said. "So, I formed another group and bought this one. Everything was run down. We spent a bunch of money to fix things up and it's getting better each year."
Mackey also changed the name of the club to Fairmont because "we wanted to give it a new identity. We felt it was the best way to go."
Lennon said the members are happy with the changes.
"We're really tickled with the crowd that has the course now," he said. "They've done a marvelous job. We're awfully pleased with them."
Mackey said he bought the course because "it was a better layout than Land-O-Lakes and we felt it had more possibilities."
Mackey also brought pro James Huneycutt with him to Fairmont. Huneycutt said the improvements included remodeling the clubhouse, improving the drainage on the course, redoing the bunkers, getting new carts and building a new cart shed.
"The course is dramatically much better," Huneycutt said. "We've gotten a lot of good compliments."
Many of the players at the course travel 15 minutes from Lumberton or come 10 miles from South Carolina.
The course has been an attraction to help draw business to the small town of Fairmont.
"Tony has a big constituency from South Carolina that comes to play," Lennon said. "People come into town to buy gas and groceries. It really has meant a lot to the community in tough economic times."
Many friendships also have been developed on the golf course over the years.
"The camaraderie, the people you meet, it has really meant a lot to us individually," Lennon said. "It has cemented a lot of relationships."
Curtis McGirt remembers when a mile-long dirt road from the Highway 41 bypass was the only way to get to the golf course.
"It was a chore to get there," he said. "About the time I graduated from high school in 1968, they paved the road. We thought we were uptown then because we had a paved road to the golf course."
It wasn't quite a country club, even with a paved road. As McGirt put it, "we weren't a country club, we were a club in the country."
Lennon, a club champion many times, is one of only five original members still living. He still plays golf about everyday and plans to play in the tournament Saturday. He said a couple other original members plan to attend but health issues will keep others away.
McGirt has not played golf in five years because of health issues of his own.
Mackey said about 25 teams have signed up to play Saturday.
"I was here when it began," Lennon said. "I've seen it evolve over these 50 years to a really nice tract that anyone would be proud of."

The gentleman on reception was lovely but unfortunately the room was pretty grim. We arrived after a dry spell (had been in another hotel in cancun) and the room smelled unpleasant - overwhelming musty odour. The night we checked in there was torrential rain and we were not surprised that there were several leaks. The fridge didn't work. On the plus side there was hot water and the room was large.

A very decent place. Perhaps a warning should be posted for possible construction. Ivan, Edy, Griselda, Tintua, and Sandra were very helpful staff members.

Is it normal to feel kind of blue at the end of the Christmas season, when the decorations come down and the house looks so empty? I have felt this in years past and wonder if anyone else feels this way and if so, what do you do to help the blues pass? www.alwaysnesting.blogspot.com | |||
Funny, I haven't felt much like posting of late but for some reason I wanted to answer this. Many on this forum are thrilled when the "stuff" comes down and things are back to "normal". I am NOT one of those. I used to feel the same as you so I've amended my thoughts (after all it IS my house, so I can do what I d*** well please!) I have lots of things that I leave up until almost spring. My mantel is little white lights on greenery with some red flowers. Since when are little white lights Christmas?? In fact, at the campsite I visit all summer, there are little white lights glowing everywhere. While I put my beloved Spode Christmas tree glasses away, I use my holly berry glasses all winter. My snowman ARE winter, not Christmas, so I tend to leave them out. Same with my snowman candle holders. You get the drift. In fact, I was so lazy this year that I left my planters with the little trees out the whole year and lit them with red, white & blue for all legal holidays! Found little jack-o-lantern light covers and made them Halloween trees! There is nothing like coming home on a cold snowy winters night and seeing those little trees lit for me! Re-look your stuff, you'll find a way! Good luck. | ||||
When I take my Christmas decor down, I don't really have time to feel blue, I use the time to reorganize my storage and also to sort what I no longer want and get it to a thrift store. When getting caught up in the Christmas spirit and getting such high expectations, it is easy to see why there would be a let down afterwards. The older I get, the more even-keeled I try to be, in other words I do not get overly built up by the commercial side of Christmas, and focus on my family as I do year round. Also if you have family visiting and then they go home, that can make you feel sad, and understandably so. When my visitors leave, I call them a few times that first week and then again the second to lessen the withdrawal! I sometimes make a special package to send to my sister to keep that special holiday feeling going. I wish a happy and more cheerful 'after Christmas' this year. Plan a new theme of decorating with special Spring decor this year. After taking down your Christmas things try to replace them with real flowers in vases and set up uplifting vignettes in your home. Flickering candles (the battery kind if you do not like real ones left lit) and also a set of the plain clear or white Christmas lights in a vignette! That might give you the light-hearted feeling that will last for as long as you want to keep it! We are going to install a lowered crown in our dining area to put rope lighting behind. And I will put Christmas lights in my silk palm tree this year to leave on until they burn out. That will give me some festive look to my home to bring about those Christmas decoration special feeling.

I have lots of snowmen, abd blue decorations in with my Christmas things. Typically most years I put away everything that is obviously a Christmas decoration but leave out the snowman and winter blue items through January. I had a very hectic fall this year and just didn't feel up to pulling out all the Christmas decor . Since my LR is creamy yellow with red furniture, I use greenery with red berries(not holly) and a bit of frost on it. All I did this year was pull out some items in that color scheme to decorate the mantle and a couple of tables. I was thinking that this too looks like winter and just might leave it out past Christmas! I think maybe leaving part of the decor out in this way might help alleviate some after Christmas let down because everything isn't here today and gone tomorrow- it kind of goes away in stages. | ||||
Becky56, What a GREAT idea! Winter decor is so special by itself and very festive! Mary Ruth *****We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are! ***** (Anaias Nin)***** http://pinterest.com/mary_ruth/ | ||||
My Christmas decor stays up into January and I leave some of the 'winter' (not Christmas) stuff up even later. This year I used a lot less Christmas and more 'winter' decor so may leave most up until well into February. I have a white Christmas tree so might even turn it into a Valentine's tree! I'll have to look for more red decorations on sale after Christmas! I find mood is often a choice altho always feel better when I eat well and take my vitamins. Here in the north winter can be a difficult time for some people as it's mostly white and without much color and more difficult to get around for some. I won't let that bother me and long ago decided I would like winter and I do! Always, I recommend as soon as Christmas is over you plan how you will tweak your non-Christmas decor and do a few fun whimsical things that make you smile. Here's one of my whimsical 'Christmas decorations' I'll be leaving well into the New Year altho I might remove or replace the Christmas ties/bows on the bears. My GD will love having all these out, most usually live in the closet and I just put a few out for her to play with. I removed the cushion from the bench so they stay in place.

Lucky, Those bears made me smile! How could I resist those cuties? Mary Ruth *****We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are! ***** (Anaias Nin)***** http://pinterest.com/mary_ruth/ | ||||
I admit that I am one who loves when the Christmas decorations come down are put away and my house is back to 'normal'. This year has been very unusual. We have a greatroom concept house and are in the process of replacing the flooring in the living area. DH is doing the labor and it's been on going. Nothing is where its supposed to be, he's been dragging his heels which is just exasperating for me. That said, we did no decorating this year. My house has no Christmas spirit at all. I'm not liking it! I really need to do a thorough editing of my Christmas decor anyway. I plan on doing it sometime before next year. We are having no company this year so it hasn't been a big deal, but I do miss having my tree up. My only Christmas wish is that DH will get the flooring done sometime before March, lol! | ||||
janetaz, What you wrote COULD have been written by me! We are in the process of remodeling as well. We have had some stalls due to health issues that are never planned. I also need to go through my Christmas decor too and edit a bit more for storage reasons (can't even get to the storage area where it is kept right now). We are in the middle of phase 2 for our kitchen remodel and upgrading. We are also doing the work ourselves and it is going very slow. Then DH had a health scare a few months back, and seems to be doing OK but I can't rush him. We are enjoying customizing our kitchen, but Christmas seems to have come up awfully fast! Then I have Cataract surgery in January! So, the end is no where in sight for getting things 'in order' and normal around here. I wrote this because I wanted you to know YOU are NOT alone! I am having the same Christmas, AND Spring, possible... year! LOL BUT when finished, we will not have to do any of this remodeling again, this is our retirement house, so we designated the first 2-3 yrs in making it fit us. But, it has stretched to saying now first 5 yrs in the house! The 'under construction' type feeling is not a good one to wake up to every day! We sold our house in Virginia to move here to Florida to our retirement house. In that Virginia house (almost 3,000 sq ft, Florida house 1800 sq ft) we had one room under construction for about 5 yrs of the 9 we lived there. But the house was so different, two floors and each room easy to isolate, we just closed the door and went on our routine until we had time to return to that room and work on molding, hardwwood flooring then painting. Then economy changed, we sold that house and moved. I wish you all the REST and comfort for you in this season. Buy yourself some fresh flowers for your table and concentrate on a few good sit down meals with a nice setting, soft Christmas music and watch some movies like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and Christmas Story, or whatever your yearly seasonal favorites are. DH and I are watching some Indie movies (Netflix) and Documentaries about people who have made the world a better place. Adds the 'feeling' of connection that is missing when we are not 'joined in' with others doing the whole Christmas thing... gives us something positive to think and talk about and share with others. are you in a warm climate, or area where you get a wintery season? Look at this photo I found on Pinterest! How Fun, I will try and plan this for my front yard for next year! My neighbors will get a chuckle out of it! We get no snow, nor much winter, only a few weeks in January where it is cold enough to put the heat on.

Actually I don't. Anymore than people "choose" other characteristics of their personalities or beings. It is kind of heavy to have to feel guilty on top of feeling depressed. However that being said age usually adds coping skills to whatever nature has inflicted upon us and they certainly can come into play at this time of the year as at any other. One could be not entrusting too much happiness into an expectation of the perfect Christmas. Another could be not becoming physically exhausted by Christmas preparations. Not making an overload of decorations so the house looks bare an empty without them. Or introducing (think Mary Ruth said this) a whole different or exciting element into your decor. About mood or depression. A very dear friend once said to me, "I never get depressed, I never let myself" I responded, "Oh, I never get eczema, I never let myself" Makes as much sense to me. | ||||
My dd use to get really sad after opening her presents. The build up was so big and then you know it is all over for another year. christmas often respresents gatherings with loved ones and friends. Always nesting, I think it is normal for many people to feel that way after christmas. I may not feel that way because I get so worn out over christmas. I have up to 30 people here Christmas day. I took over the meal and nighttime gathering. I love it all but am glad to get my life back to normal. I think what helps me A.N is having some type of project to look forward to. This year, my hubby is going to make me a closet for the entry. I found some doors and am looking forward to having a "real" closet there. My suggestion would be, find something interesting to do, take a short class in something, volunteer work, take up a new craft, etc. I think that will help. ****Look at objects not only for what they are, but for what they could be, vg**** | ||||
With our family gatherings spread out over a time span, helps a little. Makes it feel like it is not over in just one day. I just love the time between the 25th and 1st. My village stays up past Christmas. I do miss the decorations after they are put up. Good suggestions about adding something new or changing something. Have never come up with a good door decoration after the Christmas one is taken down. Most times stays bare until the Valentine one goes up. Strings Friends divide our sorrows and multiply our joys. | ||||
What I miss most are things like the stair garland, and the front porch. But I have some things I leave up all winter, winter, not christmas, but since I am in a warm climate, some think my snow landscape art and snowfake pillows are Christmas decor, not winter. One thing I aleays do is plan ahead to re decorate the mantel, and maybe buy something new. And my paperwhites to bloom in January instead of for Christmas. I just plant them about a week or so before Christmas, and hopefully will have blooms by mid January. | ||||
Well said. I agree 100 percent, especially about depression and the eczema analogy. Very apt. | ||||
What I said is "I find mood is often a choice altho always feel better when I eat well and take my vitamins." OFTEN not ALWAYS. In my experience with people (and dealing with sick people was my job for many, many years) I found that people can talk themselves into feeling blue. It takes a lot of positive self-talk to cope with some of life's negatives and many people do not provide their bodies and brains with proper nutrients and depression and mental illness can result. Junk food doesn't lead to a healthy body or mind. As far as eczema is concerned, there are many causes and if one determines one's personal reason, it can be eliminated. So one could "never let" themselves get eczema if they know and avoid the causes. http://www.eczema-natural-heal...auses-of-eczema.html While I don't want to cause anyone increased guilt (there's too much of that around anyhow and usually for the wrong reasons) I do know we currently live in a culture where too many will not take responsibility for their situation. Too much "poor me" and too little "I can fix this if I put in enough effort". A healthy happy life requires effort, it doesn't just fall in your lap and there is no quick fix pill for it.This message has been edited.

I have been a bit depressed lately, so decorating was hard for me. I pushed through it and it's done. Not great, but done. and yes, I will be depressed when it comes down because I never know what to do with my mantel! Wanda | ||||
Thank you so much, everyone, for all your input. Taking on new decorating projects that I love, or at least the excitement of planning them, is high on my agenda. I'm definitely going to leave up "winterish" as opposed to specific Christmas decorations. One of my gym buddies told me she keeps her tree up and decorates it for Valentine's Day. I can only imagine what that looks like but it's a great idea! | ||||
Wanda, glad to hear you persevered and got your decorating done. I know there are times in the middle of my decorating when I 'hit the wall' and don't like anything I've done but know I have to change it to be satisfied. Can be frustrating and sometimes I wonder why I bother. However getting it done with some measure of satisfaction always feels good. IMO sometimes 'good enough' really is 'good enough' no matter what some say. I'm too old to expect perfection 100% of the time. I hope that after Christmas you will post pics of your mantel and decorative items you might like to put on it so we can help you with it. Many of us like a project and can always give an opinion! For those who tend to feel depressed please make sure you get enough B vitamins, either in your diet or with supplements. Lack thereof is known to cause depression. Lucky "I have always had an aversion to the concepts of in style and out of style." ~Rose Tarlow Inspirational pics: http://inspiration4u.shutterfly.com/ | ||||
Always Nesting, I don't know if it's normal or not but you are definitely not alone. I've suffered from "after Christmas depression" for years. I love Christmas season SO MUCH and always get so hyped up about it that when it's over I always have a MAJOR crash. I come crashing down REALLY hard. And it used to be even worse when Grandparents and Uncle were alive and sisters, nieces and nephews all came to visit. After it was over and they left, I was absolutely miserable. I still get that way, but not quite as bad. I hope it's easier for you this year. | ||||
Doesn't it just figure! Bless his little soul, DH went ahead and invited a bunch of people to come over Saturday night! He thought it would make me feel better! Not that I mind that much because every year I've wanted to have a Christmas party, I put up a ton of decorations, lights outside and inside, and every year seems everyone is busy and I feel I've done it all for nothing, but this year I've done practically nothing, my mother's in a rehab/nursing facility and work is busy, and now I have to get the house ready and decide on food! Yikes! C'mon peeps, easy food suggestions?????? Wanda | ||||
Wanda, *I make the little smokies wrapped in dough for my parties and they are always a hit. I just buy the buttermilk biscuits in a tube of 10 per tube. Then I tear the biscuits in half and wrap each half around a little smoky and bake according to package directions for the biscuits. That way I get 20 bite size treats per package. You can pre-wrap them and have cookie sheets of them ready under a cloth dish towel and bake them as needed * Another easy one is use Boursin Cheese, pico de gallo and white balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing. I place the Boursin cheese on one side of a large platter, then arrange small pieces of bread around it in a semi-circle (I get a baguette at the store and have it sliced there). I break the cheese up a bit, sprinkle the pico over it and drizzle it with the vinaigrette dressing. Then just insert a small spreader into it and it's ready to spread on the bread, Yum! *Get a fruit or veggie platter at the grocery store, (no prep time unless you wish to move it to one of your own platters) and dieters always appreciate that. *You can do the same thing with a store cookie platter or buy the tubes of cookie dough and have fresh baked cookies w/o the mess. I have purchased the peppermint sugar cookie tubes and bake with a small piece of the chocolate/peppermint bark on top of each one. They look homemade with very little time and effort on your part. *A red velvet cake from the store is festive and you only need to have the cake server ready, although I find it usually necessary to cut out one small slice before the party as the guests never want to be the first one to cut into it, LOL * Shrimp rings from the store are always a hit. * Buy a cheese log or cheese ball and serve with an assortment of crackers. * Hot Wassail as in the song "Here We Come A'Wassailing" can be made in advance and in either alcoholic or non-alcoholic form. I use a spice tea mix and make a quart of it then add 1/2 qt. of apple juice or cider and 1/2 qt. of cranberry juice and simmer it on the stove with a large cinnamon stick. You can use hard cider or an alcoholic beverage to spice it up if desired. * Put a square of cream cheese on a platter and pour jalapeno jelly over it (sounds bad, tastes great) and serve with crackers. The above items are all favorites of my guests when I host a party and none of them require much prep time. They can all be grouped on a buffet table or in various places around the room, whatever works best for you. Merry Christmas, Candy | ||||
Always Nesting, I totally agree with you as the house seems so bare when the Christmas decor goes away, so I have now done as some of the others and leave snowmen/snowflake, holly, and greenery through January and then start on some Valentine decor. It does help ease the "Christmas Withdrawal" LOL, and brightens up the house through the darker days of winter. Hope all of the great ideas here help you after the holidays. Merry Christmas, Candy | ||||
Thanks CC! Those are great ideas. I love those little hot dogs. And any drink will definitely be alcohol related Wanda | ||||

Keeping Up With The Joneses In The Digital Age 63 Comments
As the internet has evolved and we truly enter the digital age as a society, the biggest enemy of our personal finances has been quietly growing stronger and stronger. No it's not inflation. It's not government taxes. It's something much less obvious. It's those pesky Joneses!
It might seem innocent enough when you are on Facebook browsing through their vacation photos or reading about their great new house/car/boat/tv. Meanwhile it is pushing your savings to the edge of a dangerous precipice.
After all, you've worked very hard and you're a good person. So why shouldn't you deserve all that awesome stuff too?
Why The Joneses Are Stronger Than Ever
The problem is not that there are many more Joneses today or that they are wealthier than in the past. The real problem is how they have found more ways to infiltrate our lives.
Since we are more connected than ever, it is inevitable that those social networks include people who are wealthier or at least appear to be. Unless the Joneses in your circles are quite humble, they are bound to be mentioning things that are only attainable with a lot of money.

The teacher that influenced me the most was a college instructor. I have an art background and this was the first class I had to take with this particular person. He informed us that he was not there to entertain us, often jumped to harmful conclusions, and tried to "sweet talk" us at the end of the semester when it came time to fill out his evaluation. We started the class with probably about 20 students and ended with about 8-9. I have always said that he influenced my teaching the most because I have always wanted to be the exact opposite of him and his teaching style. Maybe this wasn't the type of story that most teachers would have, but he was my prime example of someone who should not teach but was.
Okay I've known you forever and never knew this about you Cindi May! What an awesome story!
The teacher who influenced me the most was my high school French teacher, Madame Koch. Not only was she vibrant, funny, and inspirational, she truly loved each of her students. Each of us in her class found a personal connection with her and strived to please her whenever we could. I've definitely tried to emulate that with my own students and still send her Facebook notes every now and then about how my classroom is impacted by her so many years ago.
The teacher who had the greatest impact in my life was a college professor. He invited me to have a study carrol in his lab. He told me he understood I wanted to be a teacher and wanted me to have authentic research opportunities. His comment was that this would help me engage students more in science class. I was allowed to design and perform experiments - only needing permission if they used equipment outside of the lab. (On the down side, he also told me to plan on becoming an administrator so I could make money and leave the classroom.) His name is withheld because of this suggestion.
THE TEACHER WHO HAD THE MOST INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE WAS Madam Samina Malik , she truly loved and sincere with her profession and very friendly with her students.
i am too lucky to get the best tecchers in my life at school, college and university level. i ininfluenced the most of them by my schoolteacher of mrs bano, nd mrs Gulsha. who are too sincere to their profession. and also teaches very well in the classroom and give many suggestions to get learning opportunity in our life.they are great blessing OF GOD. I RESPECT BOTH OF THEM. and pray for live long.
thanks for giving opportunit to give our great views about our teachers
The teacher who had the most influence in my life was my father. He remained my teacher from grade three till grade five. He taught me how to read and write. His ways of teaching waere so good that one can understand his points so easily. He encouraged me to write every thing that comes in my mind. Now today when I.m a teacher too, find so much respect and love for him although he is no more with me. His teachings will always remain with me as long as I live in this world.
What a great reminder of how parents influence and teach us, I think it is great that your father taught you in grades three through five. I am sure you think of him often while you are teaching. Thanks for sharing such a heartfelt story.
I think we often forget that our parents are our first teachers! Without their guidance and support creating a plan for learning becomes more difficult. Hats off to the parents for stepping up!
Your post and Aman's reminded me of a professor I had at UT who engaged me so much that after taking one of his classes I audited two others taught by him. He was a Classics professor and I took his Greek Mythology class as an elective. I had become interested in Greek Mythology during my senior year of high school when Latin was added to our curriculum. I was the Greek Mythology expert on our certamen team, but it wasn't until I took Dr. Francis' class that I could really see all the connections, intricacies, and double-meanings embedded in this great body of literature. Dr. Francis' was simply entrancing.
FINALLY, I ,eet a Greek mythology expert .i can only imagine how much you enjoyed taking classes "just to learn" as there was not a grade associated with them. I know who to contact the next time I need to answer a question about the Greeks.
Thank you to all, those who participated in this discussion. Our teachers are like God. They showed the path for us to come to this stage. So, we must honor them. This is a place where you can honor the teacher. share your most influenced teacher and honor him.
Though all the teachers of mine were hardwrking and sincere with their profession, but my Maths teacher Ms. Gulzar has a great influence in my life,because of her hardwork and sincerety I never get a problem in maths, she always use to say that practice will make you perfect.
The most influential teachers in my Life. Why I wrote teachers? First and foremost I really acknowledge the efforts of my mother, known to be my first teacher for the foundation of life she nurtured and enculcated with us, her children. The love , discipline and the education. It is also impossible to be trained without the support of our father who inculcated in us the discipline. My elementary and High school teachers who moulded us to become a better person. Lastly but not the least , my teacher Dr. Joe Ferrariz, my spiritual adviser, my God father and my model about work ethics as a teacher. He set standards that each student must met. thoug its sometimes difficult to met the standards but it taught me to work for the better and aim for excellence in the field of teaching. Thank you SIR , for the experience of working with you in the Department of Education and for trusting me to handle the graduate school classes in the university.

Perhaps I went on a bad night, but being from Louisiana, I find good seafood a little more difficult to find. I did a quick search to find the "best" seafood in Nashville and this restaurant popped up. We ordered the white fish. The fish were extremely greasy and smelled and tasted awful. It took two days to get the smell of this fish off of my hands and out of my hair and my house. But like I said, maybe it was just a bad night for them.

The Support Is Second To None! I admit to being a little nervous when I decided to choose Thesis - I know I'm not the world's most tech-savvy person! But I'm so glad I took the plunge and purchased my blog skin from Thesis Awesome. It has been a breeze to use on my sites and so easy to customize.

Since neither a U.N. authorized military mission nor a unilateral American strike seem likely, what options are left?
One appealing option could be something along the lines of the Kosovo model. The Kosovo War in 1999 was entirely an air war in which no American soldiers were killed. The goal of the air campaign was to push Serbian forces out of Kosovo. Russia was allied with the Serbs so, as in the Syrian case today, there was no chance a U.N. resolution authorizing force would pass.
Instead, the war was conducted under the NATO collective security umbrella. Kosovo is, of course, in Europe, and NATO is a Europe-focused security alliance while Syria is the Middle East, so NATO action there would be much more problematic.
(A NATO force does fight in Afghanistan today, but that is only because one of its member states, the United States, was attacked on 9/11 from Afghanistan by al Qaeda, which triggered NATO's Article 5, the right to collective self-defense of the members of the alliance.)
If an air war were to be launched against Syria, one scenario could be that Turkey, a member of NATO, could invoke Article 5 because Syria has fired into its territory on a regular basis.
So far, Turkey has proved reluctant to invoke Article 5 but the reported large-scale use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime might change the calculus of the Turks.
A further source of legitimacy for military action could be the strong statement Tuesday by the Arab League that the Assad regime is responsible for the "heinous crime" of using chemical weapons. The Arab League is generally a toothless talking shop, which seemed to have surprised even itself two years back when it endorsed military action against Gadhafi. However, the Arab League has not endorsed any military action against Assad, although some of its members have privately urged the U.S. to take action against his regime in the past.
It is hard to believe that some kind of military action against Syria won't now take place, likely in the form of U.S. cruise missile attacks from ships in the Mediterranean.
Such attacks have the merit that they won't put U.S. aircraft at risk, which could well encounter problems with Syria's reputedly formidable air defense systems. And the operation will likely have participation by prominent NATO countries such as Britain and France and a tacit green light from leading members of the Arab League such as Saudi Arabia, giving it at least some semblance of international legitimacy.

I used these to cut extra jumbo nickel-silver fret wire on my first guitar build. After cutting and filing frets for the first time, I can see why you would want to cut as close to the fretboard as possible. These cutters do what they say, and cleaning up the ends didn't take too long once this noob got used to it.
Cuts frets cleanly and consistently.
Best Tool.I love it.
perfect for frets jobs, high quality tool , top notch product, thank you stewmac¡
ok .. gostei
I love these snips. I dove into my first fret job on a guinnea pig neck and bought all the necessities from StewMac. These cutters snip fret wire like they were "buttah". The leverage you get from the length of the handles makes the perfect mechanical advantage for the job. When you use the right tools you always win.
This is an excellent value tool. I have made hundreds of cuts and it still cuts cleanly and easily. I only cut "standard" wire though - nothing too hard.
Nice cut! but unfortunately, not made for hard fret fire. do the trick for soft wire and many "wire-like" cuting such as strings and electronic wire
If you are gonna work in any way with frets...you are gonna need the fret cutter. Don't bother trying to grind your own, just pony up and save yourself the time.
A little arthritis made cutting frets with small hardware store nippers difficult and painful. The Stewart-MacDonald nippers made it easy and clean, and made the rest of the job simple.

GINNIE DUNLEAVY has revolutionized dining services at the RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN by:
• TRANSITIONING dining services from contracted to self-op, which increased cash revenue by 300% and meal plan participation from 58% to 86%
• FOCUSING on building relationships by training her staff to understand the unique demands of the RISD student
• SHOWING ingenuity by connecting with students who are working on projects that align with dining services' mission
• DESIGNING a program based on embracing community, common sense and a high-risk, high-reward mentality such as allowing unlimited dining access to first-year students
Of all the things to come out of a chaotic situation, creativity wouldn't seem to be at the top of the list. But that is exactly what Ginnie Dunleavy has been able to do as director of dining at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence. Dunleavy was able to take a program that was reeling from a switch from contract to self-op and turn it into a program that, since she came to RISD in 2005, has increased cash revenue by 300% and meal plan participation from 58% to 86%.
"Part of that just shows how bad it was," Dunleavy says with a laugh. "RISD dining had been struggling for a year to get footing after they decided they didn't want to be outsourced. I was working at Brown University and RISD asked me to come consult. I did a couple of presentations and then they were like, 'can you just come run the program?' The first thing that I did was put down a road map with our mission, our vision and our values. It may sound corny, but I have been here six years and we talk about those things all the time."
It is to those values that Dunleavy attributes all her accomplishments. David May, assistant vice president for business affairs at the University of New Hampshire, a close colleague to Dunleavy, agrees.
"When I think about Ginnie the words cheerleader, coach and mentor come to mind," May says. "She strives to motivate her team to greatness. You can see this from the core values her department is committed to: relationships, ingenuity, sustainability and design. She recognizes that dining's role is as more than just a place to eat; it's a place where friendships are forged."
Relationships: Dunleavy recognizes the unique situation that is RISD, and teaching her staff to understand what the art and design school is all about is a big factor in helping them build relationships with each other and the students.
"We are a studio-based, critique society," Dunleavy says. "When I came from Brown I thought it was going to be the same experience but it's very different. We brought the president and faculty members in to explain to our staff what it means for these students to be in studio for six hours. When a kid comes in and they are cranky and covered in charcoal, we need our staff to have some empathy. We brought our staff to the senior grad show so they [would be] exposed to our students' work. I really believe that having our staff understand this environment is really important because it is unique."
The focus on relationships also feeds into the department's internal employee training.
"I think we do an incredible job with employee training," Dunleavy says. "We do two all-employee trainings a year. The last one we did was kind of a Myers-Briggs-type one for everyone about how do you talk to people and how do people listen to you and what's the perception you give off? A lot of our students were rock star artists in high school. When they come to RISD, they are no longer the rock stars. So our staff needs to provide a real grounding."
Ingenuity: Building relationships with students segues into the next of Dunleavy's values, in that she takes her cues about how to be creative from working with her students, rather than them working for her.
"It's funny because people always say, 'oh, your stuff must be so cool since you are at an art school,' but no. It's like the dentist with bad teeth. We can't get anyone to design us a poster. What I think I've had really good success with is taking advantage of some of the student initiatives. If we want to do something, it's sometimes harder to get students to do it for us. But if we can tap into what a student is already interested in then we can go in their draft and have great success for our program."
One example of this process occurred when Dunleavy found a graduate student who wanted to do a project focusing on the fact that dining used paper disposables. As a result of the student's project the department introduced a recycling program and a reusable container program.
"We also had a graphic design student who wanted to know what was on the menu without checking the website," Dunleavy says. "The student worked with our team to create a prototype and then we launched an app this year."
Sustainability: Dunleavy employed a similar tactic to enhance some of her sustainability initiatives.
"We had another student who was passionate about composting," Dunleavy says. "We had a composting program so we took her along to Providence Composting. She ended up meeting with an inventor/designer and the two of them collaborated on a beta project that brings large-scale composting to Rhode Island. We have been a beta site for a year.
Being a beta site we have all the challenges that go with that. We are very committed to working through those challenges because it's a part of that student's education."
Dunleavy says sustainability was one of the things she was eager to improve after arriving from Brown, where she was involved in the dining department's initiatives, especially local purchasing.
"The first core value is relationships, and that extends to the community," Dunleavy says. "We buy local. Vendors are coming in all the time to teach us. We take local to the effect of we serve local soda. We don't have it as a flat percentage of our purchases that are local, but we are moving toward being more sustainable than not."
Design: The final value is the one that would seem most obvious for RISD Dining, but it's one that often doesn't come naturally to foodservice directors. Dunleavy has been able to design a program that is based on high-risk, high-reward endeavors such as offering unlimited meal access to first-year students.
"Our first-year students have to take a very intense foundation year that is studio-based," Dunleavy says. "Those students were having a challenge on our meal plan because they were so busy. I finally said, 'We're going to offer unlimited access to first-years.' Their program is so intense people were like, 'are they going to abuse it?' But they are so busy it's just not a factor. Others were like, 'are they going to give it to their friends?' And I was like, 'it's their first year. They don't have any friends.' My point is to have this common-sense approach to solve these problems."
Dunleavy says her team is always asking how they can make getting food on campus easier. A great example of how the department designed a solution to that problem came about when the financial crisis hit and the department was told to reduce its hours to cut costs.
"When that happened we decided to get a food truck [Rosie]," Dunleavy says. "We were going to compress our hours in all these places, but we were going to do it with less labor and have our late-night service provided by a food truck. We are always looking at what's a creative solution? How can we be proactive against challenges?" [For more on Rosie, RISD's food truck, click here.]
Another uncommon approach to the RISD Dining program is the fact that all its operations are open to the public. Since the Providence campus is in an urban area, Dunleavy says it made sense to structure the program as more café-based.
"The public doesn't even realize that Jolly Roger [a popular sandwich shop] is run by RISD Dining," Dunleavy says. "That was another change that came with me—this idea of embracing a business model that says we are a part of our community, whatever that community may be. I think before [I came here] the department might have just seen themselves as serving the academic community, but I see it as serving the Providence community."

After all the struggles they've been through, here are the York Revolution.
After a slow start to the season, mostly thanks to a slump at the plate in the first month, and after a search for quality starting pitching, the Revs have set themselves up nicely.
With its 6-1 victory over Sugar Land on Wednesday night in front of 2,629 fans at Sovereign Bank Stadium, York (27-26) has climbed back over .500 for the third time this season.
And the Revs will enter Friday's series opener at home against Lancaster (32-20) sitting 51/2 games back of the Barnstormers for first place in the Atlantic League's Freedom Division.
After winning just 10 games in its first 27 contests, York has won 17 of 26 games since then. But Lancaster has made it difficult for the Revs to gain any ground, with the Barnstormers having won 17 of their last 22 games to own the league's best record.
York has 17 games left in the first half to catch Lancaster. Seven of those contests are against Lancaster.
Both teams will enter this weekend's three-game series on a three-game winning streak. And after an off-day Thursday, York will come in Friday with an offense that has become potent as of late.
Sugar Land: York collected 10 hits in the victory over the Skeeters on Wednesday, notching the third straight game the Revs have collected double-digit hits. They closed out the four-game series against Sugar Land (22-31) by outscoring the Skeeters 29-3 in the final three games.
One of the hot bats in the lineup is that of third baseman Ramon Castro. The veteran infielder collected a double and two RBIs in Wednesday night's contest to set two club records. Castro passed Jason Aspito for the club record in RBIs (189) and Keoni De Renne for the club record in doubles (72).
"I want to make the playoffs. That's more important," Castro said afterward. "The records are another number. It's more important to win. I play hard and those are just numbers."
Like his team, Castro has turned it around at the plate after a poor start. He was hitting just .239 through May 9, but since then is batting .346. Having driven in 28 runs in the last 23 games, Castro's 42 RBIs on the season lead the league.
Solid pitching: Starting pitcher Omar Javier tossed 32/3 scoreless innings for York on Wednesday. Reliever Dumas Garcia (1-0) gave up the one run, a solo homer to Matt Hagen in the fifth inning, in 11/3 innings of work.
Relievers James Houser, Ricardo Gomez, Adam Thomas and R.J. Rodriguez closed out the game with four scoreless innings.
Revs' pitchers have now allowed 21 earned runs in their last 921/3 innings (2.05 ERA).
And York will have its two best pitchers on the mound (Chris Cody and Corey Thurman) in two of three games this weekend. Cody (4-5, 4.15 ERA) will start Friday, followed by lefty Matt Chico (0-1, 11.25) on Saturday and Thurman (6-1, 4.03) on Sunday.
Etchebarren update: The Revs will likely be without Andy Etchebarren managing in the dugout this weekend. Etchebarren, who turned 69 on Wednesday, is still recovering from back surgery he underwent on Tuesday.
Revs' pitching coach Mark Mason said the surgery ended up being more serious than originally thought, and Etchebarren will likely need this weekend yet to recover. Mason will continue to serve as the team's interim manager.
Roster move: The Revs signed left-handed reliever Wade Korpi on Wednesday.
Korpi, 26, comes to York after pitching for the Miami Marlins' Class AA Jackson club, where he posted a 5.32 ERA in 17 appearances.
