Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by CocaCola, Jun 23, 2009.
Nice one.
Most of the reasons there are pretty silly IMO. Reasons #2 and #1 are accurate though, but who knows.
Reason # 8 is valid too...
That's one way to look at it. The other is this trophy will give him the confidence he needs and knowing he can play well on grass.
True article. Cant argue with that. The only thing you can compare is their last GRAND SLAM meeting (forget the rest, they are unimportant in Grand Slam comparison).
Reason #3. Murray is a choker. We all remember his last GS final.
Reason #11. Murray is ugly.
Seriously, he ran his mouth too much already to even have a chance against Roger.
Djokovic was the same at the US Open
but he went on to win the Australian Open.
Please don't bash or insult players, you can express your opinion perfectly without it.
I would like Federer to win, but seriously, how stupid and silly can the tabloids get ?! That excuse for an article was 5 minutes of my life I will never get back.
Reasons 1, 4, 9 & 10 nailed it.
reason 14: he'll lose to roddick in the semi's
Separate names with a comma.

This is a great infographic on 'Free Will and Predestination'. It's from Cris Cruz at Equip the Saints. Equip the saints in an amazing website. Make sure you check it out and enjoy the fun graphic.
Culture is constantly changing and reshaping, how are we meant to build something that can make a difference, how are we meant to live a life that'll last in the middle of so much uncertainty.
It feels a little bit like we are building on sand, that is always going to change. God calls us in the book of Hebrews to be a people that are of a different kingdom, an unshakable kingdom.
We live in an unstable culture. As we look all around we see huge shifts in mindsets, pressures in society. There is a cultural earthquake happening all around.
I believe that culture is shaking and soon there is going to be a revealing of a people that is unshakable.
Hebrews 12:26-13:8
At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens." 27 This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Sacrifices Pleasing to God
13 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. 4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we can confidently say,
"The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?"
7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
We're called to be a rescue team reaching in and saving those trapped and hurting in the earthquakes of culture we see all around us.
Hebrews, I believe is written by Paul in prison to Jewish Christians in Israel. Before this text was written, the Jews had risen up against Rome, and the emperor was fed up. So the emperor dispatched his best general and the might of the Roman military machine to crush the zealot rebellion.
The Jewish people knew what was coming they knew the destruction that was on the way.
The Jewish nation was about to live through the reality of Roman destruction.
There was a push from the Jewish Christians to leave the sect of Christianity they were being squeezed on every side. Their world was being turned upside down.
They were afraid, there was massive upheaval on the way. You know what we all need to be ready, we need to be ready for change we need to be ready for hard times we need to be ready to face tragedy and disaster.
We have been called as the rescue team, as the ones reaching down into darkness disaster and pain and being a rescuer. Being a movement of God here on earth.
The writer gives us 4 things to do at this time and in these moments.
It is easy to become bitter, to become resentful and angry. Do we judge those that are shaken or do we have compassion on them?
What do we see in countries around the world hit by devastation? In times of trouble we need to remember to stand alongside each other, to embrace those in greatest need. When everything else is being broken, you need to tend to community. In times of trouble it is not good to isolate ourselves and we need to fight that impulse and build each other up. People want to feel community that is stable. They want some where to call home. A place to find identity to find calling.
There is a bigger picture here, let me show you. Keep holding on keep moving forward. This is happening for a reason, but the Lord is faithful throughout it. We need to show people that there is a connection story that there is something bigger happening. Something that is not about loss but about redemption.
Be the rescue team of God reaching into a hurting world. Show compassion, demonstrate community, connect them to the vision and redemptive story, and lead to the unshakable one who is the same yesterday, today and forever.
I wanted to spend some time unpacking two types of study that hopefully can help you in your understanding of the bible.
There are two main types of theological study.
Systematic and Biblical theology
Systematic theology groups theological study into specific topics. So if you were studying theology in a systematic way you would likely study, atonement theory, the doctrine of salvation, doctrine of the Holy Spirit, Eschatology and the doctrine of the church. You will begin by searching the bible for everything it says on a topic and then sharing views and opinions on it. It runs through the beautiful story of the bible drawing threads together to form a viewpoint and an opinion.
I'm not convinced that studying a systematic theology is a good way to learn about the Bible. It has it's uses but it also limited. It is a bit like a big net, you will pick up a lot from a systematic study but the net has holes and a lot is missed.
God speaks to us in a story, His revelation to us is anything but systematic.
The story is messy, it's complicated, it tells the story of people who mess up, of God who gets involved in the life of his creation. The Bible narrative is compelling; sometimes exciting, sometimes hard and complicated but it is not systematic. God did not give us a system, he gave us a story. Trying to force something that has so much life into a system can squeeze the life out of it. It's His Story
Biblical theology looks at the story of the bible as a whole, it examines the truth of the bible in it's historical and contextual position. Biblical theology recognises that the there is a progressive revelation of the nature of God throughout the story. Strong biblical theology puts us in the context of the writer and the reader and asks the question "What would this have meant to the writer?" "What would this have meant to the reader?"
Biblical theology helps us see the Bible as a unified narrative, rather than as a collection of unrelated points.
When studying the bible I believe we need to
1 . Have a solid historical and contextual interpretation.
2. Understand that God is revealed progressively throughout the bible.
As you read and study the word of God, ask God to reveal himself in it. Recognise the process of the nature of God being revealed to the writer as it is written. Ask yourself what would this passage have meant to the writer and the reader at the time and how does this help me understand the big picture of the story of God.

On Mar 15, we maintained our Neutral recommendation on agricultural and construction equipment producer Deere & Company (DE), on the basis of expected benefits from strong farm incomes, recovery in construction sector and strength in Brazil, offset by concerns regarding weakness in Europe, additional import duty imposed in Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus, and volume and margin headwinds in the second quarter.
Why Reiterated?
Deere reported record first quarter 2013 earnings of $650 million or $1.65 per share, up 27% year over year. Quarterly sales also increased 10% to $7.42 billion. Both were ahead of the respective Zacks Consensus Estimates.
As per the U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. farm income will be a record $128.2 billion in 2013, up 14%. This will be driven by high market prices and crop insurance payments that will offset losses from the drought. Prices for corn, wheat and soybeans are projected to remain historically high and above the pre-2007 levels. Relatively high commodity prices and strong farm incomes are expected to continue to sustain demand for farm machinery during the year.
Both the non-residential and residential construction sectors are showing signs of a much awaited turnaround. This, in addition to the new highway bill, will improve demand for construction equipment in the U.S. market. Deere's 2013 growth forecast of 3% for the Construction & Forestry segment may prove to be conservative in this scenario.
Deere is investing to increase its market share in Brazil. Value of agricultural production in Brazil is expected to rise 9% annually in 2013. Deere raised its agriculture and turf sales growth forecast for South America to 10% to 15% from the previous expectation of 10%. This was driven by strong market conditions and growth in government subsidies in Brazil.
On the flipside, Deere expects agriculture and turf sales for Europe to be down 5%, compared with the previous expectation of flat to down 5%, due to weakness in the overall economy and poor harvest in the U.K last year. In the forestry sector, further weakness in the European markets is expected to offset higher demand in the U.S.
Effective Feb through Jul 2013, an additional 27.5% import duty has been placed on all imported combines going to Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus, thus bringing the import duty to 32.5%. This is expected to have an adverse impact on sales of imported combines in these countries.
Furthermore, Deere expects lower manufactured volume in the second quarter compared with last year. Higher production costs associated with interim Tier 4 as well as global growth expenses will negatively impact margins in the quarter.
Other Stocks to Consider
Deere currently retains a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Other stocks in the same industry with favorable Zacks ranks are Alamo Group, Inc. ( ALG), Briggs & Stratton Corporation ( BGG) and CNH Global NV ( CNH), which carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The plans form the first phase of a larger and longer term ambition to reconnect the historic buildings and landscape of the Royal Pavilion Estate to create a world class destination for heritage, culture and the performing arts influenced by the unique spirit of Brighton.
Brighton Dome has five historic spaces under one roof, including the 1,700 capacity Concert Hall, the Corn Exchange and the Studio Theatre. The venues offer stylish state of the art facilities combined with Grade 1 listed heritage, suitable for a multitude of occasions including gala dinners, meetings, conferences and exhibitions.
This first phase of the project specifically comprises a refurbishment of the Grade I Brighton Dome Corn Exchange, a major renovation of the Grade II Studio Theatre and complements previous major works completed in 2002.
Improvements will be explored in terms of audience experience, accessibility and orientation, facilities, improved infrastructure and better visibility for the venue in the city's Cultural Quarter.
The main construction proposals include:
* Major improvements to the Studio Theatre including a ground floor bar/café opening on to New Road.
* Creation of a magnificent new Corn Exchange viewing gallery and audience circulation space.
* Transformation of the Corn Exchange with new seating and more efficient infrastructure
* A dedicated creation space.
* Provision for additional offices, back of house accommodation, storage, WCs, catering
* A service tunnel linking all parts of the complex (between the venues)
Andrew Comben, Chief Executive of Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival says: "We are delighted and proud to be awarded this funding from Arts Council England. As the first phase of the broader vision for the Royal Pavilion Estate, the development plans for Brighton Dome Corn Exchange and the Studio Theatre form a major part of our goal to be one of Europe's leading arts festivals and a year-round international destination for artists and audiences."
Julia Gallagher, Head of Sales at VisitBrighton Convention Bureau, added: "Having first-rate cultural facilities is an integral part of Brighton's attraction as a vibrant conference destination.
Brighton Dome is one of the city's key venues, attracting conference delegates as well as hosting some of the world's most celebrated performers, year-round. This funding is great news and will not only mean an improved experience for visitors but ensure this very special venue continues to flourish in future."

I do not own any of the characters or settings, (apart from Abigail), throughout this story.
Natasha lay on the hospital bed, screaming.
"Whoever says child birth doesn't hurt was lying!" Pepper was right by her side.
"Nat, you can do this. You've done a lot harder things."
"No, I haven't!" Peppers eyes widened at the sight of a head.
"One more." The doctor was being incredibly calm.
"Ahhhhhhhh." Nat pushed one last time. Out of all the chaos, a little cry was heard.
"Congratulations. It's a girl." The doctor passed her a small baby, wrapped in a pink cloth.
"She's beautiful." Pepper marveled at the girl.
"Yes, she is." Nat held her baby close.
"Do we have a name?"
"No, not yet."
"OK. For now we'll call her Baby Romanoff."
"Baby Barton-Romanoff, if it's not too much trouble."
"Of course not."
"Speaking of, I'll go and get Clint."
"He's here?"
"The whole team is." Pepper left the room and went to get him.
"Clint." She called."
"Do you want to meet your daughter." He smiled wildly.
"Congratulations, man." Tony hit him on the shoulder. Clint got out of his seat and rushed into the hospital room. He walked slowly over to Nat.
"She's amazing."
"Wanna' hold her?" Nat passed him the little girl, and he took her with open arms.
"Hey, baby girl." He looked down into her big blue eyes, which seemed to be staring straight back into his.
One week later, they got to bring baby, Abigail Samantha Barton-Romanoff home.

On Dec. 19, The Oro Valley High Visibility Enforcement (HiVE) deployment results we taken from a total of 34 traffic stops:
· 19 drivers were stopped for moving violations (e.g. running red light, speeding)
· 15 drivers were stopped for equipment and/or registration violations
Of those 34 stops,
· 2 drivers received citations for moving violations
· 24 drivers received written warnings
· 8 drivers received combination citation and warning for non-moving violations
There were 0 collisions.
OVPD will continue HiVE efforts until the end of the year.
To reduce an increasing trend in injury-related vehicle collisions, the Oro Valley Police Department is conducting "High Visibility Enforcement" (HiVE) details on Oracle Road at the Magee and Suffolk intersections.
Over the past two years, statistics indicate that one out of every four collision in those intersections result in injury.
The OVPD hopes to increase awareness and reduce collisions resulting from driver inattention, following too closely, and failing to yield to other drivers.


text: Here's a little list I put together of what I consider the ranking of the 2004 figure offerings to be. I only did new figures, not repaints or repacks, and only the basic line. Depending on the time I have, I may add VOTC, Ultra and Unleashed later. 01. Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Training) ? What?s not to love about this figure? Hasbro really nailed it by including the interchangeable head and arms, and by thinking to include things such as the handprints in the base so that he can actually handstand. 02. Dengar (Executor Meeting) ? A fantastic and much-needed resculpt. He looks meaner, more scarred-up, and he even brought his backpack this time! Kudos for the articulation that allows for the two-handed rifle pose. 03. Yoda (Dagobah Training) ? One of the best Yoda renditions to date. The fact that he can break in half to fit into the backpack works much better than the oversized backpack ala POTF2 and helps to recreate key movie scenes perfectly. 04. Luke Skywalker (Jabba's Palace) ? Whether you?re a fan of soft goods or not, you?ve got to admit that the figure underneath the robe is great. My only gripe is that I wish both hands could grip instead of just the one. 05. Bossk (Executor Meeting) ? The POTF2 version was pretty good, and this one goes even farther. The likeness is spot-on, but it would have been nice if the rifle could hang from the shoulder like the last one. 06. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Dagobah Spirit) ? Undoubtedly the best OT Obi-Wan to date. Now all Hasbro has to do is repaint him to give us the definitive alive version. My only question: why the lightsaber? 07. Luke Skywalker (Hoth Attack) ? Another good resculpt. Points here for including the base that connects with the one that came with the Wampa. 08. General Madine (Imperial Shuttle Capture) ? The toupeed one come across looking great in this update from the vintage line. The elbow joints can look awkward at times, but being able to strike all kinds of poses with the wand, including the two-handed pose, is a plus. 09. Lobot (Cloud City Deception) ? He?s back, and looking better than ever. The cyborg implant is removable, which is completely unnecessary, but kinda cool nonetheless. Limited articulation doesn?t let him do much but just stand there, but then again, that?s just about all he did in the movie anyway. 10. Lando Calrissian (Death Star Attack) ? Lando?s legs got tired of doing the splits, so he?s decided to stand upright in this much-deserved resculpt. The fact that the holster on his chest is a separate piece is awesome, but like Madine, the elbow joints can look awkward when in certain positions. 11. Lando Calrissian (Jabba's Sail Barge) ? It?s Lando! Again! The skiff guard disguise sculpt is updated awesomely, with plenty of articulation for holding the force pike, which unfortunately is made from rather flimsy plastic. 12. Admiral Ozzel (Executor Assault) ? Pretty much what you?d want out of an Admiral Ozzel figure. His hand is open so that he can hold his neck while being Force choked, which is definitely a plus. 13. Captain Antilles (Tantive IV Invasion) ? Fan?s Choice Figure #5 turned out to be way easier to find than figures #3 and #4. Sure, his face looks like that kid from The Sixth Sense, but the head articulation?s perfect for exposing that neck for Vader to choke the life out of. 14. Rappertunie (Jabba's Palace) ? For a figure that is pretty much designed to just sit and play, and not much else, the sculpt here is really good. Plus, he brings us one step closer to completing Jabba?s band, and you know you want that. 15. Cloud Car Pilot (Bespin Encounter) ? For a guy who got almost zero screen time save for a far away shot of his head, this figure turned out all right. The colors may turn some people off, but the removable helmet and comlink that attaches to the belt are a plus. 16. R2-D2 (Jabba's Sail Barge) ? One of the best Artoos

{ DAY 2 of my 30 Day Video Challenge} So WHY would you wanna develop your business intuition? And HOW do you know if it's truly intuition?
Watch this video where I share how ignoring my intuition cost me $50,000 (YIKES!!!), simple tips on how to develop your intuitive muscles and how to trust the wisdom of your inner CEO to create better results in your life & bizzzzzz.
If you like the kinds of things I talk about in these videos sign up for my (free) monthly intuitive playshops: http://carolinefrenette.com/playshops/
Hey! Caroline Frenette here.
This is Day 2 of my personal video challenge where I share with you tips and tools on how to WAKE UP your inner CEO, develop your business intuition, and create better and more effortless results in your business and in your life.
Let's start at the beginning, shall we?
Why would you even want to listen to your intuition in business? For starters, it can save you a lot of money. For example, in previous business of mine, I ignored my intuition. I signed on the dotted line and ignoring the intuition caused me $50,000. This is a good reason to pay attention to your intuition in business, right?
Another good reason to listen to your intuition in business is that it can save you time. It can also point you in the right direction and help you shift gears or directions very quickly.
Your intuition is your best friend. She's there to tug you towards your higher purpose, unleashing of your great potential, and just helping you create the best results that you can.
One thing you need to know is that intuition is NOT fear. A lot of my clients come to me and say "I'm not sure if this is an intuition or just crazy thinking or my little monkey mind." Intuition is not noisy; it's quiet.
Intuition is also not emotions. Sometimes people say, "It needs to feel good. My intuition is going to tell me by the feeling of it. It's going to feel good, it's an intuition."
Surprise, it's not!
Intuition is a deeper feeling of truth, clarity, and neutrality. That's very different than needing to feel good about something so that you trust that it is your intuition.
Can you see the difference? Two different places to tap into for information. That's why when people say "listen to your heart", I like to say "listen to your intuitive heart".
So, my invitation for you today is to see for yourself how you decipher intuition.
It's going to be different from me. It's going to be different and personalized to you.
How do you know that it is intuition? Do you feel it in your body? Is it an undeniable inner knowing? Is it just a clarity that you know it is the right thing to do? ("Right" as in alignment with your inner Goddess and inner CEO.)
Pay attention to this today. Deepen your connection to your intuition then test it in your business. Tap into your intuition before you make a specific decision, before you write an e-mail, before you work on your book or your project, or before you create clients which is something I'm going to talk about in video 3: How to Create Clients by Tapping into your Inner CEO.
Feel free to write in the comments how you decipher business intuition.
I'll see you tomorrow for video 3!

Unsung Heroes, Part 2

Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
There is no security in the gallery.sourceforge.net program. This is the case with many other gallery scripts, including the ones offered (addons, modules) by phpnuke, postnuke, etc.
You can merely go the the alubm/images directory (website.com/gallery/album/aaa.jpg,etc.) and grab the image, the entire security feature is useless.
Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
the security features are meant to prevent people running malicious code on the server - why on earth would you have a problem with people downloading images from a web site that is designed to distribute those very images.
Hey guess what - I can go to a Gallery website and drag the images off the browser and onto my desktop - weird huh?
blah blah etc...
Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
gallery features "hiding" of pictures - but with the build in "hiding" it is very easy to view hidden pix too - and that IS bad for certain gallery users (www.campusclick.de/gallery)
Re: Gallery Rocks!!!!
Hey guys,
I have been using gallery for quite some time and I tell you it amazes me how it can use no databases and do everything so fast. Check my gallery out and give it a test drive @ http://www.avarachen.net/gallery . They are planning to use MySQL in the future release.
Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
Whoo Hoo Hoo! Excellent article Marcel ! I know there's a lot of sys admins out there wanting admin/server articles, but home users like myself using Linux & other open source stuff for their desktop or workstation just love this kind of peice. More, More, More!
Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
Why does everybody assume that you want a web server running along with whatever other items are required.
I just want to create some albums, burn a CD and pass it along to my Windows using grandmother.
I know there are a few programs that will do this, but we need more. We need more software authors thinking in terns of user applications that do not require all this other baggage to run.
Hi-tech vs low-tech gallery
Both low-tech (flat HTML pages on a CD) and hi-tech (perl/php) galleries have their uses.
I like a dynamic gallery because I can change the look whenever I want, others can add captions, I can more easily track which photos people view most often, etc.
As far as putting them on a web server at all, my goal is letting family across the country view our pictures and I don't want to mail a CD.
FWIW I just installed Gallery and I love it.
Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
Have you tried the HTML gallery feature of gphoto? (The old one, not gphoto2 or whatever the new one is called.) You don't need a web server running and the results are great for burning a CD album for a "windows-using grandmother" as you suggest. Plus it has a feature I really like that many of these scripts don't have: when viewing the full-sized photo you get three buttons: next, previous, and index. So you don't have to keep returning to the thumbnail (index) page after each photo you look at. Just click next, next, next, etc.
For examples, see
all of these photo albums were made with gphoto.
Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
My modified version of Igal has that specific problem in mind (besides easily scriptable website maintenance). It has options to leave the original large-size images out if you don't want to distribute them (demos of copyrighted photos, for example).
With a single command, you can create a ready-to-burn directory with navigation, captions, text for each page, etc.
I've done it for some friends and family (fully techno-illiterate) and they're very happy with the results. They pop the cd in their drive and view it with their browser without having to know anything about image processing.

Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
I think it would be fair to mention phpix. I think you can find it on both sourceforge and freshmeat. It, of course, requires php support, but it is pretty nice. All you have to do is create folders inside the albums folder and dump your pictures in them. You can include descriptions for each picture and folder. It will dynamically generate web pages from these folders, and pictures can be dynamically resized by the viewer.

Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
Thought if you wanted a more populated example of Gallery you could use this.
Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
MarginalHacks here with an extra pitch for album.
The default output of album is not that interesting -it's useful if you want simple thumb/HTML generation, but if you want a slicker output, please do check out the optional Themes available!
One gotcha with Gallery
Yes, Marcel, the animated images that Gallery displayes when processing pictures do give the eye something to do. Unfortunately, every single moving arrow image load gets logged to the web server's log file.
Just something that folks with small hard drives should watch out for.
Re: One gotcha with Gallery
Sigh 'folks with small hard drives' shouldnt even be logging things like image hits - or at least know how to manage them properly if they do. You lose, you get the 'moot point award'
Re: One gotcha with Gallery
Heh. There's a patch for this in the CVS tree now.
The nifty upload screen is just a mongo animated gif.
Re: Unsung Heroes, Part 2
This is a rather amusing hack, but just have to remember that there are a CRAP load of php scripts that will do this for you from freshmeat.net.
But again, every scripting language has a way of doing this on the web :), or atleast someone has tried it already, because its not an uncommen thing to try and do with images. :)

Cars, children's toys, household products and everything else we buy can come with some serious risks for injury and/or death. The truth of the matter is that each and every day, there are products that wind up on the recall list with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Our Orange County personal injury lawyers understand that defective products injure about 3 million Americans each and every year. To make matters even worse, there are about 20,000 who are killed.
Children are extremely vulnerable in these cases as they're not able to detect these defects as easily as adults. Because of this, there are more than 220,000 children injured from defective products each and every year. Some of the recalls can be as big and as serious as the one from 2006 from Toyota in which there were nearly 1.5 million cars recalled. It's so serious that about 7 percent of all personal injury lawsuits are product liability cases. These kinds of sits actually have the second highest average settlement payout. These cases, on average, come with settlements of about $300,000.
To help to keep you and your family safe, we're asking adults to keep an eye on the CPSC's recall list. For now, we're here to offer you some of the latest product recalls.

By Lindsey Burke
Arne Duncan will face many questions when he appears on Capitol Hill for his Senate confirmation hearing. But one of the most important will be whether the Education Secretary-designate supports the proposed federal "bailout" for state and local public education budgets.
Last week, six Democratic governors called on Washington to provide a $1 trillion federal bailout for state governments facing declining tax revenues. Their proposal includes $250 billion for new public education funding for pre-K, K-12, and higher education funding. This followed similar calls from the National Governors Association, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and a growing number of school districts requesting a federal bailout.
State and local governments are in dire straights. Estimates show that state budgets alone are facing shortfalls of more than $137 billion over the next two years. But is a federal bailout really a responsible solution?
The federal government currently provides approximately 9 percent of K-12 funding, or about $71 billion per year. If only $100 billion of the $250 billion that the governors are requesting were used for K-12 education, federal spending for America's schools would more than double overnight.
An immediate doubling of education spending is unwise in any fiscal climate but it is especially unwise when the federal budget deficit is swelling out of control. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that at $1.2 trillion, the federal deficit will exceed 8 percent of GDP this year, not including the potential $1 trillion being proposed as part of the stimulus package. State leaders cannot continue to look to the federal treasury as the only solution to the nation's problems.
Since a federal bailout isn't the answer, Duncan and Congress should consider more fiscally responsible ways for the federal government to help states weather the current fiscal emergency.
South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford offered a different approach to the open-handed state leaders in congressional testimony last fall--calling for flexibility and freedom from federal regulations and mandates to help put states on the road to fiscal solvency.
While Gov. Sanford's tune may sound a bit out of key to those vying for federal dollars, his argument hits the right note. "Give us more flexibility. Give us more in the way of control over the dollars we already have and less in the way of costs. Give us more options, not more money with federal strings attached."
This approach makes a lot of sense in terms of good education policy. Providing states with more control over how they use federal dollars would allow targeted spending toward the most high-needs areas. It would also relieve states of bureaucratic mandates that result in federal dollars being spent on bureaucratic compliance instead of in the classroom.
In 2007, conservatives in Congress offered a plan to give states this flexibility. The plan required states to be held accountable to parents and taxpayers for results by continuing state tests and public reporting to ensure transparency.
Under normal circumstances, this approach would improve education by allowing state and local leaders to make more decisions in the interest of students and schools in their community. Today, this makes even more sense--it helps governors and other state leaders allocate scarce resources in a manner they feel will best improve education.
Duncan should appreciate this approach. He has spoken in favor of providing states and localities more flexibility, linking Chicago's success to the ability to be innovative in meeting federal goals. The secretary-designate should recognize that state and local leaders would benefit with that flexibility now more than ever.
As secretary, will Duncan remember his past support for flexibility? Or will he cave to Democratic governors and others calling for an irresponsible federal bailout?
That's the $250 billion question.

There were actually three (Reply to the 2 Johns)
In reply to:
2 John W Fulwoods
Carrie Wetherington 4/02/02
(and all others interested in the 3 John Fulwoods of Houston County GA circa 1825-1850),
Here are my research notes on my Fulwood ancestors of Fort Valley Georgia once within Houston, now in Peach County, Georgia. One of these Fulwood men or thier sons apparently was the father of my Great Grandfather Henry Franklin Fulwood born 1876. I have been unable to prove which one for it is possible he was not married to Henry's mother.
In a "time line" format of sorts,
There was a Reverend John Fulwood of SC born 1787 (according to his obituary and according to page 194 of the book "Methodist Preachers in Georgia 1783-1900", which you can view at Washington Memorial Library Genealogy Archives Room in Macon, GA or perhaps in your local genealogy archives). A transcription of Reverend John's obituary is included at the end of this message.
John Fulwood was an orphan who came from SC to Wilkinson County Georgia in 1820. He then moved to Houston County. (He is found in the 1820 census in Wilkinson County and his obituary in the Methodist Church's "Southern Christian Advocate" included below also states these facts.)
John married Elizabeth Majors about 1807 (this according to his obit in the Southern Christian Advocate) before moving to Georgia.
In John Fulwood's 1820 Wilkinson County home were found (according to the 1820 census) 1 male 10-15 years old, 4 female children, and two adult females, (which I guess means some of them were born prior to coming to Georgia).
Reverend Charles A. Fulwood was the son of the Reverend John Fulwood formerly of SC. Charles married Harriet Gillipsie Godfry, Mary Stanley, and possibly an Elizabeth "Last name unknown" (according to the book "Methodist Preachers in Georgia 1783-1900").
Reverend Charles A. Fulwood had at least two sons. His eldest son Charles W. Fulwood (1851-1875) died at Key West, Florida. The obituary for his son indicating Charles W. as "eldest son" is included at the end of this message.
Johnathan Fulwood died in or prior to 1843. His wife Mary Ann (Last name unknown to me) died in 1843 in Houston County Georgia (according to the book "Wills and Inferior Court Minutes of Houston County"). A transcription from that book of the guardianship grant dated 2 Aug. 1843 of Johnathan and Mary Ann Fulwood's children is included at the bottom of this message.
Johnathan and Mary Ann Fulwood had five minor children "under the age of 14" at the time ofMary Ann Fulwood's 1843 death. According to the August 1843 guardianship grant, they were(I quote) : "William, Daniel A., John Wesley, Maryanne E., and Luenta Emiline". (DF: Note that in most later records she is called Lucretia or Lucretia Emiline). See above guardianship grant.
Reverend John Fulwood died in 1850 (according to his obituary notice in the Southern Christian Advocate, according to a "message of respect" in the Macon Messenger newspaper from the Masonic Lodge, and according to page 194 of the book "Methodist Preachers in Georgia 1783-1900".)
The 1850 census shows in Houston County, an Elizabeth Fulwood as head of household. Living with her were: William Fulwood- 18 - farmer, JohnFulwood- 11, Sarah Howell- 12, Maryan Fulwood - 8 (sorry, I didn't copy but merely transcribed the text into my notes. It's easy to find though).
The 1850 census also shows in Houston County, a John W.Fulwood, age 25, farmer as a head of household. Living with him were: Nancy Fulwood 28 Female, Emily Fulwood 6 Female, Arminta 4 Female, James 1 Male, Daniel A. Fulwood 16 male - farmer, William Fulwood 18 male - farmer.
Guardianship of Mary Ann, John W., Daniel A., and William; was appointed to Charles A. Fulwood on 7 July 1851. The guardianship appointment is included at the bottom of this message.
Elizabeth Fulwood dies 21 November 1854 (according to her obituary in the Southern Christian Advocate. Her notice was on badly degraded microfilm and parts were impossible to read). A transcription attempt of the text in that obituary is included at the bottom of this message.
I think that Johnathan Fulwood (born about 1808 died 1843) was a son of John Fulwood (1787-1850) of Houston County, formerly of Wilkinson County, GA and SC.
Houston County land records and guardianship of Johnathan's orphans seem to be evidence of a father - son relationship but I found nothing official absolutely stating their relationship. The 1820 census lists a 10-15 year old male living with John in Wilkinson County that I believe was Johnathan. No other child that could have been the 10-15 year old shows up in subsequent records other than Johnathan Fulwood of Houston County. Houston County Land Records show John and a Johnathan buying and selling adjacent land during the period of about 1825-1840 in "Captain Fulwood's Militia District". I can find no record of John's children's births. Johnathan who I believe is the eldest would have been born in South Carolina. There may be some promise in searching for evidence of his birth in South Carolina records. The Wilkinson County Court House suffered at least 4 fires and the Union Army so Wilkinson records are lacking. A transcription of the text of the Guardianship of Johnathan's children being granted to a John Fulwood appears in the book "Wills and Inferior Court Minutes of Houston County", and is included at the bottom of this message. Admittedly, there were 2 John Fulwoods living in Houston County during the 1840s, however the fact that Elizabeth has part of Johnathan's orphan children living with her in the 1850 census records after the Rev. John's death, leads me to believe that it was the Rev. John (and his wife Elizabeth) that were granted guardianship. In the event that the younger of the two Johns, John W. 1825 were the one granted guardianship; I think he would have been only 18 years old and unmarried and was likely assisted by Elizabeth as some of Johnathans orphans are listed in the census as living with her (which to me, tends to lend more credence that John W. 1825 Fulwood was one of Elizabeth and Reverend Johns sons).
I believe that the Rev. John and Elizabeth Majors Fulwood had another son John W. Fulwood born in 1825.
The Rev. John and his assumed son Johnathan were the only Fulwood men found in Houston Countywhen John W. Fulwood (who is found as a "25 year old farmer" in the Houston County 1850 census) was born. I can find no other John Fulwood being born about this time to any other Fulwood or Fullwood anywhere in Georgia. There is however a male (born between 1825 and 1830) in the Reverend's household in the 1830 census. If John W. Fulwood was not the Reverend John's son, who's then?
I believe that John W. Fulwood born 1825 was helping his mother the widow Elizabeth Fulwood raise Johnathan's children.
Two ofJohnathan's orphans (a Daniel A. and William) are listed as living in John W. 1825 Fulwood's household as farmers in this same 1850 census. More likely than John W. helping to raise William and Daniel, is that Elizabeth probably allowed these two older children to assist the young farmer John W. Fulwood in working his farm. It is not unusual for individuals to be listed twice within one census in cases where they were counted early during the census in one place, moved to another place in the same county and were later counted by a different census taker. I believe that the William and Daniel A. were counted twice.
(From "Wills and Inferior Court Minutes of Houston County" Georgia)
(2 Aug. 1843:)
It appearing to the court that the condition of the estate of the late JOHNATHAN FULWOOD,dec., and his widow MARY ANN, who has also deceased this life, that there is no necessity of granting administration on either estate because both may be settled without litigation or contintion and same protection may be afforded rights of the orphans at less expense by granting guardianship for them. Court appointed JOHN FULWOOD as guardian of person and property of WILLIAM, DANIEL A.,LUENTIA EMILINE, JOHN WESLEY, and MARY ANN E. FULWOOD minors and orphans under age 14 of said JOHNATHAN FULWOOD,dec. Bond set at $2000 with WILLIAM COUSINS as security. Further said JOHN FULWOOD was granted leave to sell such portions of the personal estate as he desires and for the year 1844 he may rent the plantation and Negroes of said minors. ENOS YOUNG, ANTHONY M. THOMPSON, AMOS TURNER, DANIEL GAWSEY, and THOMAS ALLEN appointed to appraise and return both estates jointly.
(13 Jan 1845:)
JohnFulwood, guardian of William, Daniel, Luenta Emaline,and Mary Ann E. Fulwood orphan children of Johnathan Fulwood, dec. was allowed the sum of $87 for year 1844 from said estate for care of children within his own family. (Note: Luenta Emiline is found in census documents as Lucretia Emiline.)
(From "Wills and Inferior CourtMinutes of Houston County" Georgia)
(7 July 1851:)
Charles Fulwood appointed guardian of Mary Ann, John W., Daniel A., and William Fulwood minor children of Johnathan deceased. Bond set at $4000 with David O. Smith as security.
(17 Nov. 1857)
"Charles A. Fulwood the Guardian for said minors have leave to sell all the land and Negroes belong to said minors this 17 Nov. 1857".
John Fulwood's Obituary notice from the South Carolina Methodist Conference Newsletter "Southern Christian Advocate":
Died in Houston Co., Ga., the Rev. John Fulwood, father of the Rev. C.A. Fulwood, of the Georgia Conference, in the 63rd year of his age. He was a native of So. Ca. In early life he lost his mother, and was bound, most unfortunately, to a hard master, where he was shut out from church privileges, and permitted to go to school "only on rainy days."
In his sixteenth year he obtained leave to attend a camp-meeting, but had to work hard to gain the time to go, and then walked all the way; a distance of 17 miles. At this meeting God convinced him of sin, and shortly after converted his soul when wrestling in prayer. As soon as he could gain the time from his master, he went to a Methodist society, offered himself for church membership and was cordially received.
In his 20th year he was married to Elizabeth Majors. His wife proved a helpmate in spiritual as well as temporal matters, and he at once commenced and steadily pursued a Christian course both public and privately, frequently holding prayer meetings among his young friends.
In 1810 he moved to Wilkinson Co., Ga., and for several years filled the offices of class-leader and steward. In 1817 he was licensed to exhort. His exhortations though neither brilliant nor showy, were spiritual and impressive, often resulting in the immediate conviction and conversion of souls. In 1819 he was more than ever impressed with the duty of going fully into the ministry, but from natural timidity he shrank from the cross. The struggle between natural inclination, and spiritual confiction was hard, but he finally yielded to the latter and the same year was licensed to preach, but commenced it with fear and trembling. From this to the last days of his life he was zealous active and persevering, so much so that he was styled a "local itinerant preacher." For five years he labored efficiently in Wilkinson and surrounding counties.
In 1824 he moved to Houston Co., and there raised the standard of the cross. Though he was poor and had to labor, he always found time to visit the sick, comfort the disconsolate, and relieve according to his means, the wants of the distressed. His piety was deep and uniform; he conciquintly preached by example as well as precept. He was ordained deacon in 1838, which office he filled honorably to himself and usefully to the church for seven years, and then by the advice of friends and a conviction of duty came forward for Elder's orders, was elected in 1839 and ordained at Fort Valley July 9th 1840. He was several times employed by the presiding elder to take charge of a circuit and was always ready to go. Indeed he was emphatically the servant of the church. His preaching was plain, simple and unaffected, not with man's wisdom, but in power and the demonstration ofthe Spirit. The secret of his success was the Holy Ghost rested upon him. Upon one occasion he preached before the president of a college who up to that time had been skeptical in regard to revealed religion, but his deep-rooted skepticism was now removed, and he yielded his assent to the truth of the gospel.
He was infirm for several years previous to his death, of which he had a presentiment and spoke of it to his intimate friends. He made all necessary arrangements for death prior to his last attack and spoke several times to his son of his willingness to die. On the forth day before his death, he spoke of that" rest that remains for the people of God," was quite happy and seemed disposed to rejoice aloud, but his strength was not sufficient. The third day before his death he received the sacrament of the Lord's supper at the hands of his son. This was a great source of comfort to him and powerfully impressive to those present. He preserved an unbroken confidence to the last. About three hours before he breathed his last, he was asked by his son, if he still felt resigned, still saw his way clearly, and was still in an attitude to meet God, to all of which he replied, "Yes, yes, yes," and then added "All is well." These were his last words. About an hour before his dissolution he was asked if he still felt that God was with him. He could not speak, but fixing his eyes upon the inquirer raised his trembling hands in token of the affirmative reply.Then he fell asleep in Jesus.

Elizabeth Majors Fulwood's Obituary notice from the South Carolina Methodist Conference Newsletter "Southern Christian Advocate":
(The Photocopy provided by the Church is difficult and in part impossible to read due to the degraded condition of the microfilm from which it was printed)
Mrs. Elizabeth Fulwood, (relict?) of the late Rev. John Fulwood , and mother of the Rev. C.A. Fulwood of the Ga. Conf., now sleeps with Jesus. She was about 71 years old, and has been a member of the M. E. church about (41?) years.In usual health on Thursday, 16th Nov., she was suddenly attacked with paralysis on that day, fell senseless from her chair, and died on the succeeding Wensday night. What a rapid change from health to sickness, from life to death! How subversive of the doctrine sometimes taught, that we are not to expect grace until death comes! Alas! If we have it not all the time like mother Fulwood, we may be called to him without premonition or time to (invake? it.

of Christ. If you feel you are called to go to California, go; nor wait to follow my bones to the grave." Such untiring zeal and noble self-sacrifice needs no eulogium from me. They speak for themselves. Peace to her memory; salvation to her house.
(signed W.H.H.)
from the South Carolina Methodist Conference Newsletter "Southern Christian Advocate":
Charles W. Fulwood, eldest son of Rev. Charles A. Fulwood, of the Florida Conference, died in Key West, Fla., July 23rd 1875, in the twenty-fourth year of his age.
From his third year, he was the child of affliction; yet his life was a beautiful exhibition of simplicity and patience. In all his bodily anguish he never (murmured?) against the providence of God, but quietly submitted to his will, seeming to say, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in him." During the intervals between the nervous spells (which were the result of his particular disease) his example exerted a (salutary?) influence upon all who came in contact with him, and exhibited in it's most lovely aspects, the beauty and glory of the religion he professed. Having been reared in the nurture and admonition ofthe lord, the Spirit of the Savior early found a lodgment in his heart, and led him to bring forth the fruits oftruth and piety. This was ever apparent, especially during his last few years, in the perfect innocence of his life, and the numerous graces which adorned it. Though a constant care to his parents, they would gladly have retained him, had it been the will of God. This desire arose, in part, from the fact that he was more a source of comfort than sorrow. For some time previous to his death, he appeared to be impressed that the event was drawing near. This conviction caused him to meditate and converse a great deal about the employments and happiness of the redeemed. His soul rejoiced at the thought of being eternally happy, and especially of meeting his friends and loved ones again. The (refraction?) was ever present with him, and reconciled him to the solemn (erists?) to which he was tending. When the summons came, he was ready; and after a few short hours of suffering, his spirit took it's flight to joined the ransomed ones above.

In Answer to Carrie's post on the Fullwood Forum:
You quote from the Will that Charles was appointed Guardian of Mary Ann Fulwood, John W, Daniel A. and William Fulwood, minor children of Johnathan Fulwood. In the next paragraph you said the guardianship papers states Johnathans children including a John Wesley Fulwood. Did it spell out his name?
DF: Yes it did spell out his name. See included transcription.
I am also confused as to your statement
"Note that in 1850 Houston County census that along with his wife Nancy, and daughter Emily and Arminta; a Daniel A. Fulwood, farmer, 16 and William Fulwood farmer, 18 are found living with both the Elizabeth mentioned above and the John W. Fulwood b 18, Farmer."
If I understand correctly you say that Rev John b 1787 m to Elizabeth Majors had Johnathan who m Maryanne and had Mary Ann, John W.(John Wesley?) Daniel A, and William. So the John W married to Nancy Turner Dec. 21 1843 in Houston Co (Ga. Marriage Records to 1850)and the one mentioned in the census is the same but not the one you are refering to as our ancestor?
DF: No I don't think they are the same person. I think John W. Fulwood born in 1825 was a son of the Reverend John Fulwood and was one of Johnathan Fulwood's brothers and that John Wesley 1843 Fulwood (son of Johnathan and MaryAnne) is therefore John 1825 Fulwood's nephew.
Another reason I agree that there were two John W and that one or both were probably related to Daniel and William are that
1. they all four enlisted the same day according to military records bu their listed resident counties varied.
1.John W Fulwood Enlisted March 22 1862, rank: Corpl, Age 36, res: Thomas Co GA
2. John W Fulwood Enlisted March 22 1862, rank: Priv, Age 22
(this = b. 1840), res: Clay Co GA
3. William A Fulwood, Enlisted March 22 1862, rank Priv, Age 29, res: Brooks Co GA
4. Daniel A. Fulwood, Enlisted March 22 1862, rank: Priv, Age 28, res: Brooks Co GA
This gives support to William and Daniel being brothers, and their ages at the time of enlistment is right.
DF: I have something similar but I didn't have as much detail.Good job!
Mary Ann, John W., William, and Daniel were listed in the guardianship papers, but you also said in a different paragraph that Johnathan and his wife Mary Ann were both dead by 1843 and left 5 minor children "William, Daniel A, John Wesley/John W.?, Lucretia Emiline, and Mary Ann E. Where did Lucretia Emiline come from? I couldn't find anything abiut her either.
DF: She was listed in the guardianship as well. I must have inadvertently left her out.
Now I am so confused I don't know who I'm descended from!
I thougt it was from John W. b 1825 d, April 1862 Macon Ga
m. to Nancy Turner who had 5 children
1. Emily A Fulwood b 1845 Houston C d 1871
m Bryan Kem 17 July 1859 Brooks Co
2. Arminda Fulwood b 1847 Houston Co
3. James Franklin Fulwood b 1pr 1849 d 1910
4. George Smith Fulwood b Aug 3 1855 Pavo,Houston Co.d Dec 8 1923
(My ggf) 1. David Arthur Fulwood b 1881 Pavo, Houston
Co GA. d Nov 23 1950 FL
(My gf) 1. George Wilson Fulwood bFeb 11, 1913
Macon Ga d Apr 23 1974 FL
5. John P Fulwood b Apr 1859 Brooks Co Ga
DF: I think you have it right. I haven't changed what you had.
What I am offering is that your Great Great Grandfather John W. Fulwood of Houston County, GA (born 1825 in GA) is very likely one of the Reverend John Fulwood (born 1787) of Houston County's sons,
that your John W. 1825 Fulwood probably had a older brother named Johnathan,
that John W. 1825 probably had a younger brother named Reverend Charles Fulwood,
and that your John W. 1825 Fulwood was assisted in his farming by two of his brother Johnathan's orphaned sons (your John W.'s nephews), William and Daniel Archibald Fulwood.
Additionally, I submit to you that:
I agree that your GG Grandpa John W. 1825 Fulwood served in the War between the States and died at the Confederate Hospital in Macon in 1862 as a result of fever contracted in the river swamps near Savannah, GA where his company was engaged in blocking the rivers to prevent Union ships from utilizing them. I believe that he is buried in the "confederate" or "old city" section of Rose Hill Cemetery in Macon, GA.
I further believe that his brother Charles A. Fulwood served as the Chaplain for the 48th Georgia,
that your John W. Fulwood's nephews William and Daniel (who helped him farm) also served in the CS Army. (While I have found nothing about William after the war, Daniel returned to Houston County after the war (minus one leg he left behind at Sharpesburg, VA) and farmed near Perry Georgia (according to census records) until he moved briefly (according to my interviews with the Tifton Fulwoods) to Alapaha, GA then on to Tifton, GA where he started what I call the "Tifton branch" ofour Fulwood family. Daniel is buried in the Tifton Cemetery along with his wife and two sons, Isaac and Columbus (for whom Fulwood Park in Tifton is named)).
Does anyone have any information to add to this or any information on any of the other names of my family down from John W.
Please let me know!
Thanks, Carrie

It was on a September day 11 years ago, much like Sunday, that Patricia Caloia, surrounded by her family and friends, waited for the phone to ring.
Her brother Denis Lavelle worked on the 94th floor of the north tower at the World Trade Center as an accountant for Marsh & McLennan. He was working Sept. 11, 2001, when hijacked planes smashed into the twin towers.
Lavelle never called. He never came home. He was just 42.
Caloia and her family will never forget Lavelle. Now, the City of Yonkers has ensured that no one else will, either, etching Lavelle's and 23 other names in a plaque unveiled at the Yonkers Pier on Water Grant Street on Sunday. The plaque honors victims who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
"Everybody loved him," said Caloia, 65, of Yonkers on Sunday. "He had such a great personality. They say that God takes the good ones. He was a good one. I'm glad that he's being remembered and honored."
About 30 people -- including victims' families, veterans, elected officials and service members -- paid homage Sunday to the 24 people who hailed from Yonkers and the nearly 3,000 who died in the attacks.
On Tuesday, a monument made from a 38-foot, 4,000-ton steel beam from the World Trade Center will be dedicated at 7:30 p.m. at Conor Park.
"Today, we stand here as a reminder that we, Yonkers, will never forget the lives lost that day," said Mayor Mike Spano under blue skies Sunday. "The mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters, aunts and uncles and friends who have left a permanent hole in our hearts.
"Sept. 11 will never get easier for our families and friends, but today, as we remember them, let us also remember how blessed we were for having known them; how they have touched our lives, and how our lives are better today because of them."
Yonkers City Council members read each of the 24 names aloud, as well as the names of five service members from Yonkers killed in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Richard Halévy was working on his computer just before 9 a.m. Sept. 11 when he received a frantic call to turn on the TV. A plane had just crashed into the north tower. At first, it seemed like an accident. Then, 17 minutes later, the second plane hit the south tower. His mind immediately raced to the Pentagon, where his sister, Marion, worked as the congressional affairs officer for the Army's deputy chief of staff of personnel.
He couldn't reach her. And although Marion's car was still parked in the Pentagon's parking garage, it took 25 days to confirm her death.
The Halévy family has lived in Yonkers for three generations..
"I'm especially proud the family name is on that plaque -- although I wish it wasn't," Halévy said.

In an effort to meet the needs of local families, the Volunteer Center South Bay-Harbor-Long Beach held its inaugural Heart of Helping Family Fun Faire in the center's parking lot in downtown Torrance. The fair replaces the center's annual Summerfest and Corporate Banquet fundraisers. Organizers envision it to be a win-win for the Volunteer Center and area families.
The move is in response to a changing trend in fundraising, said center President and CEO Sara Myers. Her research found that working parents prefer to spend more time with their families on weekends, as opposed to hiring a baby-sitter and attending gala dinners for adults.
"More and more nonprofits seem to be getting away from the evening dinner galas," said Kelly Curtis Intagliata, the center's former board chairwoman, "so the Volunteer Center and other nonprofits are looking for ways to incorporate more family activities to introduce people to their organizations.
The Volunteer Center launched its family-focused carnival with game booths, a bunny petting zoo, food trucks, a Bounce-N-Slide, a Leapfrog Launcher, cookie decorating and face painting among other activities. Inside the center's historic building, Myers led several kid-driven, interactive story-telling sessions.
Myers and her staff of four key managers, a consultant and a couple volunteers planned and organized the day. "We tried to think of every possible detail," she said. "We had spread sheets and organization tables of what we should do if someone got lost or sick and every other possible thing."
Thirty minutes before the fair opened, Myers paced around the venue with her cellphone in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other, putting out mini fires — in one case, literally. In one of the game booths a magnifying glass, aided by the sun, ignited a flame on the back of a fabric chair. Before anyone noticed, a quick-thinking volunteer teen snuffed out the fire.
"Well, that's one scenario we didn't foresee," Myers said with a laugh.
It appears that the mini fire isn't the only spark of activity at the Volunteer Center these days. According to board Chairwoman Toni Sciacqua, the center is trying hard to return to its original purpose — to link volunteers with meaningful opportunities with nonprofits.
Sciacqua said the organization's new interactive database was launched in the fall on the center's website (volcenter.org). In this pilot program, people can sign up for volunteer opportunities and nonprofits can post their specific needs.
This year the free fair was held on a Saturday morning with the hope of expanding it in future years as support and enthusiasm grows, Myers said.
"We are very excited to invite our neighbors and the community to this special, family-friendly celebration to raise funds to meet even more community needs through volunteerism," she said, while also thanking generous business sponsors who partnered with the center to produce the fair.
Major sponsors included Torrance Memorial Medical Center, John Deer, Valero Wilmington Refinery, Kinecta, Saatchi & Saatchi, Burkley, Brandlin, Watik & Keesey, Moog, Plaza Development Group, ACCESS Emergency Services, DJ Ozzie and Torrance Bakery.
Proceeds will support Volunteer Center programs, including Operation Teddy Bear, which distributes more than 5,600 literacy schoolbags filled with educational items to underserved first-graders; Food for Kids, which provides bags of food for low-income and homeless elementary students; and The Youth Leadership development program, which empowers and inspires youth to give back through community service and volunteer matching.
