As of Wednesday, September 4, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SNELLVILLE — On one hand, John Fulgham and John LaMattina don't appear to have much in common.
There's no mistaking Fulgham's Southern accent being from Montgomery, Ala. And LaMattina is openly proud of his Italian heritage growing up on Long Island, N.Y. where his uncle used to come over and watch ballgames on Sundays.
"I'm a Yankees fan," LaMattina said, "but a Braves supporter."
They often eat lunch together, only long enough for Fulgham to groan at LaMattina's tired jokes and puns. And while they live about a mile apart, they wouldn't dare socialize.
"He wouldn't want to spend any time with me," LaMattina said, laughing. "He's an intellectual; he's a math teacher, a professor. I play drums. There's no way that he could relate to me."
Fulgham didn't dispute that.
"It's more than a mile away," he said after LaMattina called them neighbors. "And I'm too tired to drive another mile."
While they've worked together about eight years, the needling is an easy give and take.
"We like to kid one another," LaMattina said. "I always tell everybody that John's one of the two people in America older than I am. So he doesn't necessarily like that. Then he tells people that he has more hair than I do, and there's quite a few people in that category."
On the other hand, Fulgham and LaMattina each have more than 40 years in the education industry and are the longest tenured teachers in Gwinnett County Public Schools. In January, Fulgham, 68, will reach his 46th year, while LaMattina, 65, is in his 45th year, which he noted recently when he added that students from his first year are now 58-years-old.
"It used to be I was like their brother, now it's like I'm their grandfather," LaMattina said of his students. "I'm like a grandfather to some of the teachers."
Fulgham and LaMattina each teach at Norton Elementary, the same level of school that attracted them to education to start their careers. Both men saw a need for more male teachers and role models on the elementary level.
"In my opinion, it is quite rare to find teachers on the elementary level with 40-plus years of experience still in the classroom," Norton Principal Terry Watlington said. "Most teachers decide to retire after they have reached their 30-year tenure. Teachers like John LaMattina and John Fulgham are few and far between."
As a math specialist and coach, Fulgham plans and trains staff about teaching strategies, and helps students with stages of learning. He also uses formative tests to diagnose student needs and discusses them with colleagues.
LaMattina is a parent coordinator who manages materials and training for parents, and discusses Title I, state and federal requirements for the school and student tests and improvements. He also works as a community liaison for parent involvement and helps coordinate the fifth-grade play each year.
LaMattina, who has taught drum lessons for 50 years, began his career in journalism to be a sportswriter, but opted out after he learned that all sportswriters smoke cigars. Since he didn't, LaMattina earned a Master's degree in elementary education, got married and began his career all in the same year. His starting salary? $6,000. And it was more than Fulgham made.
Fulgham said he holds the distinction of being the first man to graduate from Huntington College in Montgomery, Ala. with a degree in elementary education.
"It was hard, in that I had to try and keep up with all those females, keep my grades up and show them I was better than they were," he said with a laugh.
Fulgham went on to be an adjunct instructor in science and math methods at the Montgomery campus of Auburn University for 24 years. Eleven years ago, Fulgham served on a blue ribbon committee for the Alabama Math Science Technology Initiative that still exists today, he said.
Fulgham has also served as a principal at an elementary school, and taught middle school math and science.
As a social studies teacher, LaMattina used to mix baseball and jazz, starting around 1900 with Ty Cobb and Louie Armstrong.
It's that kind of long-term project that he's not sure could be applied using today's curriculum standards.
"I think we had in the old days more chance to get our work done, especially if you were a veteran, to get it done in whatever order you wanted as long as you got it done," LaMattina said. "I always had fun in the classroom, I would joke around with the kids, and tell them some very terrible puns and say the same thing every day, and they would moan at my jokes."
Today's generation of students is also on par with students he taught years ago, LaMattina said, and are more savvy with technology. When he taught in a Catholic school, there was one encyclopedia in the library that couldn't be touched. Now, kids have encyclopedias on their cell phones.
LaMattina also recently noticed a class of students learning about the 1920s, and a teacher used a video of Babe Ruth from YouTube.
"So in that way it's an exciting time to be in education," he said. "They talk about kids are not as good as they used to be. I couldn't agree less."
Fulgham plans to retire after next year when he may learn how to play the piano, or go fishing with a friend. In about three years, when he plans to retire, LaMattina and his wife may move to Los Angeles to be closer to their children.
But even decades into their career, neither counts down to retirement, or dreads coming to work.
"I don't work; I play," LaMattina said. "I never figured we worked. We taught. Teaching is not necessarily working. You work hard, but you're teaching. Musicians are the same way; they'll play anytime anywhere."

Quick Green Reads For The Weekend Volume Sixty Five.
It's amazing to think that we only have 6 weeks left of living here in Southern California. After all these years of living here, it sure seems strange to be preparing to move 900 miles away. But we are excited about our new adventure in New Mexico! While I figure out how I am going to move all this stuff, check out some articles that caught my eye this week:
12 Reasons Why High Gas Prices Are GOOD For America. I especially like #4 – High gas prices are causing some Americans to rethink (or at least reduce) their attraction to "stuff."
Peel-and-stick solar panels – Lumeta's light-weight, adhesive photovoltaics make it easier than ever to slap solar panels up on your roof — and that's good for all kinds of reasons. By cutting down on the time and costs of solar installation, Lumeta's parent company, DRI, is hoping to switch on a larger section of public. The Power-Ply 380 panels can be installed in a matter of minutes and DRI estimates that their system reduces hardware costs by 70%.
We must do the right thing in our life even when it's not convenient for us. This is called integrity. Here are several ways that we can build trust and do the right thing.
Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs: Answering the Critics. It's interesting that every time I talk about the advantages of compact fluorescent bulbs, I see the same criticisms over and over. Thus, I though I'd spend a bit of time responding to each of them.
From Mother Earth News, 1977 – This $30 Solar Setup Heats a 30 X 40 Workshop for Five Hours or More Every Sunny Winter Day. Imagine that – 30 years ago someone had devised a virtually free solar heating system for a workshop!
Have a great weekend everyone!

It is painful to read about what they are doing, isn't it? I think we are even going to see more and more development in train travel in the near future, as they can move way more people using way less gas that way.
But yes, it hurts…but personally I would not mind if it went a little bit higher…:-)
Hey David, thanks for the mention. Hopefully these high energy prices will cause EVERYONE to rethink a lot of things.
I keep seeing these train commercials bragging about how a diesel electric train can move a ton of freight over 400 miles on a single gallon. Why can't we put that technology to use in personal vehicles? I'm sure there's a valid reason but … dang, 400 mpg????
These high oil will also drive technology to design more efficient everything..from vehicles to heating our homes to power plants to adhesives to paints to you name it.
It still hurts though!
Thank you for mentioning Mother Earth News on your Web site. We appreciate the attention.

Originally written on Fox Sports Tennessee | Last updated 3/20/12
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee junior Jeronne Maymon had arthroscopic surgery to fix torn cartilage in his right knee, hours after the Volunteers lost in the National Invitation Tournament. Senior associate athletic trainer Chad Newman says Maymon had surgery Tuesday at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. The trainer says surgery went well with no timeframe yet for his recovery. Maymon was a second-team All-Southeastern Conference forward. The native of Madison, Wis., averaged 12.7 points and a team-high 8.1 rebounds this season. He led the Volunteers in scoring, rebounding, field-goal percentage and steals in SEC play. He came off the bench Monday night to lead the Vols with 17 points and seven rebounds in a season-ending loss to Middle Tennessee.

I use this plugin to have quicktags in my comments : http://www.enblogopedia.com/wordpress-plugin-comment-quicktags-reloaded/
It works like a charm with WP251.
I have installed Live comment preview plugin and all goes well but the Link quicktag. Now, when I try to use it, no javascript panel appears and I can't type the url to make it clickable.
Here is my question : How to fix it ? If it's impossible, is someone knows a "quicktags for comments plugin" compatible with Live comment preview 1.9 ? I have tried to install others but they don't work.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Geforce4 440 Go in Toshiba Laptop with Debian Etch
Hej all,
I'm new to this forum and I can say I'm very hopeful to find help in here! I already spent some days in trying and reading....
I want to use a NVIDIA-driven X-server on my Toshiba Laptop Satellite 1900-704 with 1280x1024x24. I use Debian Linux testing (etch) with Kernel 2.6.18.
The NVIDIA-card ist recognized by lspci:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 440 Go] (rev a3)
The X-Server runs with driver 'nv' and 1280x1024x24.
I got the driver NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9631-pkg1.run and compiled it. I let the automatic xconfig utility update my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
After rebooting, screen turns black and that's it. It turns deep black, like switched off.
The driver is present:
nl-lt-boris:~# lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 4712532 22
i2c_core 19680 6 nvidia,dvb_usb_dibusb_mb,dvb_usb,dvb_pll,dib3000_c ommon,i2c_i801
agpgart 29896 2 nvidia,intel_agp
I tried A LOT of things from here but with no success. I found additional information on
and did
nl-lt-boris:~# rmmod nvidia
nl-lt-boris:~# modprobe nvidia NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=2
nl-lt-boris:~# /etc/init.d/gdm start
That brings the most success: The screen wents back from OFF to deep dark backlighted and brings half-screen-sized white areas randomly alternating with every second....
Does anybody have a good suggestion???
Re: Geforce4 440 Go in Toshiba Laptop with Debian Etch
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT, TV"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0"
in your /etc/X11/xorg.conv in Section "Device". It works with 440go on Dell-Laptops.
Re: Geforce4 440 Go in Toshiba Laptop with Debian Etch
Wow Dirk,
that's it! Thanks A LOT!!!!

4 Reasons Why Farmers' Markets Boost Health, Body and Soul
While they haven't totally replaced the supermarket, farmers' markets are definitely taking a bite out of the industrial food business by offering an easy way to connect with beautiful, fresh healthy food. Here's 4 reasons why farmers' markets boost health, body and soul.
How To Be Healthy
How to Start a Vegetable Garden – How to Grow Vegetables
It's easy enough to say you want to build an organic garden, but how does one actually get started? Before I get into my four beginning principals, let me say that these directions I'm writing are applicable to anywhere: backyards, smallholdings, allotments, farms. You can even apply them to containers you might only have space for on your apartment balcony. I've helped build and design gardens from small window sill pots to 200 acre properties. The elements are the same. Stick to the plan and you won't go wrong.
How to Make Organic Compost
With "green" gardening becoming more and more popular, many gardeners are turning toward making their own organic compost for a number of reasons, from low cost (relative to store-bought versions) to reducing landfill waste, to simply benefiting from the high quality and mineral and nutrient rich nature of organic, homemade compost.
Planting a Fall Garden
In the midst of summer fun, those who love garden fresh greens for months to come will take the time now to sow the seeds of kale, cabbage, broccoli, and collards. When we are savvy and sow the seeds in August, these cruciferous crops get off to a healthy enough start to withstand frigid winter weather.
