CIDI Cautions Public to Make Appropriate Donations to Help Victims of Indonesian Earthquake
Money is the Best Form of Donation to Provide Effective and Immediate
May 30, 2006, 01:00 ET from Center for International Disaster Information
ARLINGTON, Va., May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) is urging all those who wish to help Indonesians affected by the May 27 earthquake to donate cash, as an alternative to gifts- in-kind and other commodities, in order to provide immediate and effective assistance. The 6.3-magnitude earthquake on Java has claimed an estimated 5,000 lives to date and left approximately 200,000 people homeless. "This is a devastating tragedy for the people of Indonesia and their fourth destructive quake in the last 18 months," said Suzanne Brooks, director of the Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) in Arlington, Virginia. "Many of the victims were still in the process of rebuilding their lives from previous disasters when this earthquake occurred. Now they truly need help to recover. It is critical that relief workers have the resources they need to respond quickly and effectively to victims' needs. The fastest and best way to provide assistance is through cash donations." Individuals and organizations interested in making contributions to help the victims of the Indonesian earthquake can get more information by visiting CIDI's web site at http://www.cidi.org. In addition, interested donors can visit http://www.interaction.org to obtain a list of credible responding agencies for international emergencies and http://www.give.org for valuable information on making informed decisions when supporting charities.

Panama Canal Crossing
Trip Start
Aug 17, 2008
Trip End
Sep 01, 2008
A little while later, Nikki came up and stood with me. We had a narrator onboard from the Panama Canal Authority who gave us history, a description of what would be happening and other tidbits about the canal. Nikki did go get the girls up and out of bed and bring them up. We went under the Bridge of the Americas right on schedule and then moved into the first of the Miraflores Locks. We had moved to a little better place to see but people kept pushing in front of us and it soon became impossible to see us move into the lock.
We ran down to our stateroom so we could see and have a front row view. After watching the ship pull into the lock Nikki and I ran back to the Deck 7 Aft overlook to watch the gates close behind us. I turned around and Nikki was nowhere to be seen so I went back to the room. Kelsie said that Nikki and Regan had gone down to deck 3 to watch the ship move vertically in the lock. Kelsie and I headed that way and eventually found the other two. We watched the ship pull into the second lock from the portholes in Diversions. We originally were about eye level with the top of the wall and, as the water filled the lock we moved up. It was also while we were in this lock that they took someone off the ship in an ambulance. No idea why but there must have been some reason. We then worked our way back up to the front of the ship on deck 10 as we pulled out of the second lock and into the Miraflores Lake.
We had arranged to meet with Scott and Cheryl on the deck 7 aft overlook to take photos so we walked back there and visited with them for a while. It was REALLY hot! The girls and Nikki went back to the room while I went to deck 10 to watch the ship pull into the third of the Miraflores Locks. I had some problems with my video camera so I didn't get any footage but I did have a rail to watch it from. The girls swam while we were moving into the lock.
After the third lock was the Centennial Bridge and then we entered Gatun Lake. There was a BBQ on the deck by the Goofy pool for lunch. It was still REALLY hot! After lunch we went to do another family craft but, since it was one we had already done, we decided to go back to our room and watch the scenery. On the way up Nikki and I stopped by Shutters to pick up some photos and then we met the girls in the room. Kelsie went to Ocean Quest and Regan went to the Stack for a Q&A with the theater cast on the ship. After that the two girls went to see Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning which was a premier as the movie was released today.
Nikki and I went to a group signing with Pluto, Mickey, Minnie, Duckie Williams, Donald and Goofy. Then we went to Diversions where we could watch the Rainforest go by and play a game. We decided to play 80s Trivial Pursuit (I won). Then we headed up to the deck so that we could see the ship enter the next set of locks.
We lucked out and found a spot on deck 10 right at the front and center of the ship. The skies were getting dark and there was lightning and thunder and then all of a sudden, the rain started to POUR. It was raining so hard that you couldn't see more than about 20 feet in any direction. The ship slowed way down and ended up delaying us by about an hour. Nikki and I went down to our stateroom to watch the ship go into the locks.
Nikki thought we would try to do some laundry before dinner and there was an empty washing machine so we called ourselves lucky (turned out to be incorrect as we didn't get dryers until after our dinner started and the drying didn't finish until about 8:40...that means we started the laundry at about 4:15 and finished the two loads 4.5 hours later). Dinner was in Parrot Cay and was an East Meets West Theme since we had been in both oceans today.
Because of the rain delay we didn't get into the first of the Gatun locks until almost dark so it was very difficult to see the ship move through the locks. We could see the inside walls of the locks from the windows in Parrot Cay and could see that there was only 2 feet on each side of the ship. There was even a point that we were entering the Gatun Locks we bumped the side of the lock with the ship.
After dinner we went to the Walt Disney Theater to see Wall-E while Kelsie went to Ocean Quest. Once the movie was over we went back to the room and Kelsie was there. Regan went to the Stack. Kelsie went to a Pajama Jam at 11 and the old folks went to bed.
Tomorrow we are in Cartegena.

An end to an era.Posted Thursday, October 11, 2012, at 4:04 PM
The "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" film was recently released, bringing to an official end an era: My childhood. I remember checking out the first book, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the Nevada Middle School library when I was just in sixth grade. I was a rambunctious little tomboy of a girl who could care less about staying indoors and reading. I would've rather been outside playing flag football with my brothers and getting myself into countless mischievous adventures.
My sixth grade English class participated in the A.R. program (Accelerated Reader) by which you were tested on your reading level and then were instructed to check books out of the library that were on your level, signified by a colored sticker dot that they had placed on the spine of all of the books. You would log the pages you read daily into a red folder that your teacher would look over to make sure you were actually reading. I had always hated this. Force me to read, eh? I would read as few pages as possible...really taking my time. This was my form of rebellion -- my way of sticking it to the man. Even though I had been placed in the most advanced reading level, I could not think of anything that I would want to do less with my time than read. I recall that most of the books on my level were just not exciting or challenging enough. I read the book "Carry on, Mr. Bowditch" by Jean Lee Latham when I was only 10. It was my first novel I ever read and was around 300 pages. I don't know if it was due to the fact that it was written in 1956 and just didn't capture my young mind or interest, but from that point on I thought reading was utterly boring. I can still perfectly remember the day that I was proven wrong. We had been instructed to check out a book from the library like we had done numerous times in the past. I had sluggishly roamed the shelves of books, glancing here and there at the colorful spines that popped out at me and drew me in, only to realize they were either misleading or on a lower reading level. Feeling defeated, I went up to the librarian's desk and asked if she had any suggestions. She asked me what kind of books interested me and I can vividly remember my response being, "Exciting books!!" She smiled and told me she knew just the book I was looking for. I was led to a book that had been put neatly on display at the front of the library. It was just recently released and the cover immediately captured my adventurous young intrigue. There was a boy on the front, around my age, whizzing through the air on a broom chasing a gold ball that was flying. In the background, what appeared to be a unicorn was running with a castle even further in the distance. This WAS exciting! I checked the book out and couldn't wait to start reading. I even read the book in the hallway walking to and from classes. The author, J.K. Rowling, took my 11-year-old mind on an adventure of wizards, witches, villains, magic schools, and young friendship. Wow. All of this excitement behind the hardback cover of a book?? Reaching the end, I was thrilled to realize it was only the beginning of a series. I became a proverbial "book nerd" after this point. I eagerly awaited the release of each new book in the series and even started reading other books more. Even as I went into high school, I still waited in anticipation when each new book came out. And the movies? Just too much for me to even handle. They actually took these wonderful books and made them come to life on the big screen -- it was truly something to behold. I'm 24 now and it's been 12 years since I read my first Harry Potter book. With the recent release of the final movie in the series, most people my age realize that the story has finally ended. This is kind of a bittersweet time for most of us. Although I've been an adult for quite some time now and have moved on to bigger things, it comes as a reminder that our youth is brief but it doesn't have to end with the changing of our age. The imagination that J.K. Rowling brought to life in her books and in the readers will continue to reside and grow in our youthful hearts. I have these books to thank for my love of reading and the joy I get out of writing. They truly helped in a way to mold me into the person I've become. With each passing generation, there is a new trend -- a new popular fad. The most recent generation of young book-lovers have embraced the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer. While I'm not a huge fan of the series, I do enjoy and appreciate the fact that this series is a catapult to spark an interest in reading to our youth. How great is it that those who weren't previously interested in the literary world are now finding a love for it? The "magic" of the Harry Potter books transcend the world of pages and book covers. It created a belief in my generation that anything is possible. That we can defeat and overcome the difficult times in our lives and this is a positive trait to have -- especially in these trying economic times. The drudgery of life may get us down occasionally, but when we remember the vast possibilities we have in this world and that we can achieve anything we put our minds to...well...that truly is a magical thing.

A Haskell GUI in Flex
The setup is as follows:
1) I've implemented a very simple single-threaded HTTP server in Haskell, using as an inspiration code that I found here and there (using Parsec for parsing HTTP messages, etc.). The server can server static HTML and SWF files as well as having a dynamic component: you can register Haskell methods that take a JSON object as a parameter, some internal state and return a new JSON object and the new state (yes I know, there is a monad for that...). I used the code here for JSON in Haskell. I thus expose a method that generates a Maze and a method to move to a cell, validating that there is no wall in between the current cell and the target cell and checking to see if we reached the exit.
2) I use Flex and ActionScript to create the GUI. The compiled SWF file will be served by the Haskell server and will call it back through asynchronous calls. I was a bit taken aback when I realized that Flex doesn't come with JSON support out of the box, but luckily there's a library for it. So you connect via your browser to a page on the server that embeds the SWF, Flex ask for the maze data to the server and displays it, and let you navigate using the keyboards or the mouse.
The code for Haskell is here (start from Framework.hs), the Flex code is here.

This is the most pragmatic approach! I am very surprised! I hope other people have this in mind.

I have a similar problem, so downloaded the files individually ... (An archive would have been handy), but I am still had to fight the Flash Security Model.
I have created a web-root directory I have copied in it a crossdomain.xml file with the right permisions and the shape.swf file. And I am loading the shape.swf file like this:
flashplayer http://localhost:9000/shape.swf
I am missing something "bloody" obvious? - 6:21 PM

Vasile, have you tried in a browser instead of the flashplayer?

Looks like links are dead...?
Also you use Data.ByteString unpackList function in HTTPServer.hs. I don't see that. I've found a few arcane articles about this function, but would you mind discussing it more? - 4:36 PM
links are dead. please add
- JP Moresmau said...
Fixed links. Sorry. Er, for unpackList, I don't really know, it's just transforming the ByteString into a list of Word8 and I just convert that to a String holding the actual value...
- Jeff said...
Just FYI - I used some of your ideas to make a JSON based web app framework that is also heavily influenced by Shellac. Just wondering if you had a chance to check it out. http://jaxclipse.com/news/node/9
So instead of passing the state around, it is in a custom monad, Srv. In the actual app you can sequence actions and do all the kinds of stuff like in a Shellac-based application. The Srv monad just stacks a StateT and ReaderT over IO. There are some utility methods, but the single threaded http processing loop is from your work here.
I would love to work this out as a multithreaded version, but still researching how to do that.
Enjoy - and please let me know if you have any comments. firstname.lastname@example.com - 5:58 PM
Instead of unpackList, you should now use unpack.

The Bush administration pledges to add 470 miles to the border fence by the end of the year, and it is willing to forgo multiple environmental laws in order to complete the project. How does the Executive Branch of the U.S. government have this power, and why does it want to complete the fence by the end of the year?
Also, the upcoming Beijing Olympics have become a hot-button issue, with international concern about China's human rights record. Who's threatening to boycott the Opening Ceremonies and why?

If you're running Windows, you can get a binary build of XML::LibXML from Randy Kobes' PPM repositories. If you're running Linux then things will be even simpler - just use the package from your distribution (eg: on Debian: apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl). Sadly, with Randy Kobes passing, the Kobes repository has been rather unmaintained (is there no one at U Winnepeg that can step up?? Please??). Fortunately, Strawberry Perl comes with XML::LibXML, although I'm not sure how easy it is to make updates to the library. Update: It looks like there is a version in ActiveState's repo, though kind of old.

Old Sheldon Church Ruins – Yemassee, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Beaufort County Photos | Old Sheldon Church Ruins
Old Sheldon Church Ruins
Please note that the Old Sheldon Church Ruins are located on private property. The property is owned and managed by St. Helena's Church in Beaufort.
Sheldon Church, formerly known as the Prince William Parish Church, has had a tumultuous and eventful history. From its first service in 1757 to its present peaceful setting, the church has followed the travails of our nation's history. It is one if not the first churches built in temple form in the United States.
Originally organized and funded in the 1740s and 1750s by William Bull, whose Newberry Plantation bordered the church grounds, the church was named Sheldon in honor of the Bull family's ancestral home in England. The church was set on fire in 1779 by British troops led by General Augustine Prevost during the Revolutionary War. It was rebuilt from the remaining walls between 1825 and 1826.
Tradition states that on January 14, 1865, near the end of the Civil War, General Sherman's troops burned the church a second time as part of his "March to the Sea" campaign. While the walls still refused to fall, the church was not repaired again. However, another possible fate has come to light. In a letter dated February 3, 1866, after the end of the war, Milton Leverett wrote that "Sheldon Church not burn't. Just torn up in the inside, but can be repaired." The inside of Sheldon Church was apparently gutted by whites and blacks who needed the materials to rebuild their homes burned by Sherman's army. This information comes from The Leverett Letters, published by the University of South Carolina Press, and can be found on pages 403 and 405. Please note that the National Register's description, quoted below, supports the contested theory that the church was burned by General Sherman's troops.
A tablet located at the Old Sheldon Church reads: "Church of Prince William's Parish, known as Sheldon built between 1745-1755. Burned by the British Army 1779. Rebuilt 1826. Burned by the Federal Army 1865. Tablet placed by Columbia Committee South Carolina Society Colonial Dames of America 1937."
Sheldon's ruins are listed in the National Register:
(Prince William's Parish Church) Sheldon Church is said to be the first conscious attempt in America to imitate a Greek temple. Built between 1745-1753, the ruins of the church still retain their classic simplicity. Surrounded by moss-draped live oaks, the original three-and-one-half foot thick colonnaded walls of Flemish bond and the four all-header bond portico columns remain, attesting to the solid construction and master craftsmanship which enabled it to withstand two conflagrations and over two hundred fifty years of existence. Complete by 1753, Sheldon Church was built along a row of seven Tuscan columns (six engaged, one outstanding).
The western façade had an elegant portico, crowned by a triangular pediment with bulls-eye window and cornice with dentils. The large front doorway had a fanlight above and two round-headed windows, symmetrically spaced, on either side. On the north, five bays between the engaged columns were filled with a single tier of tall, round-headed windows; the other bay was left open for a portico. At the eastern end, above the alter, was a Palladian window, with a round-headed window to each side. Sheldon Church was burned by General Augustine Prevost's British troops in May 1779. General Sherman's 15th Corps under General John Logan burned Sheldon Church on January 14, 1865 and it was never rebuilt. Marble sarcophagi in the churchyard bear the names of South Carolina leaders.

Reflections on the Old Sheldon Church Ruins
Contributor Susan Klavohn Bryant shares about her photo, seen below: "We visited the Old Sheldon Church ruins on a cold rainy day which made the site seem even more eerie than usual. The gothic architecture, gnarled oaks, Spanish moss, and crumbling gravestones always remind me of a spooky movie set, but it's a beautiful setting."
Sara Dean, the photographer who contributed the picture below, says that Old Sheldon Church Ruins is one of her favorite spots. She points out an interesting detail seen on the interior wall: "To me and others, it is like a face on that wall that is always watching. I walk around down there and have pictures from all angles, and it is like those eyes follow where ever I walk. It is cool and eerie at the same time."

Thank you, Robert. The last paragraph to which you refer is the National Register's description of the church. We have now made a note in the paragraph regarding Lever's letter that the burning is simply the theory of the NR.
February 21st, 2017 at 2:28 pm
As historian of the Parish Church of St. Helena, I offer a correction in the last paragraph of your historical description. The Leverett Letters state that Sheldon Church was "not burnt" by Sherman's troops during the American Civil War. Apparently it was dismanteled for materials to build shelter for the locals and could have been rebuilt. You state this earlier in the description, but revert to the incorrect history in the last paragraph.

My husband and I have visited several times on our way to Harbor Island. Our first visit was with our dear friend who has passed. He insisted that we stop and experience the beauty and history of this special place . I can only imagine what the church looked like before being destroyed. It is still beautiful and so peaceful. Another visit is on my list things to do soon.

March 6th, 2016 at 2:42 pm
My wife and I and another couple, dear friends, went to Sheldon on a bright sunny day. Our first glimpse of the ruins sparked imaginations of what it may have looked like before being burned by two successive armies,the British army in the 1700's and the Union army in the 1800s'. It must have been a beautiful house of worship,splendid with it rising colums and arched windows. Walking the grounds and visiting the resting places of generations of local families that had lived prior to the signing of the declaration of independence, and those who had served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, gave us a sense of history of this sacred place. We can only wonder at how two armies of Christian faith could in time of war delibrately destroy a Christian house of worship. Yet, today we see the destruction of centuries old historical places in the mid east. I can only wonder. Sheldon is truely a place to see.

Sheldon Church is hauntingly beautiful. Each time we visit or pass the structure, it beckons to me. Peace and heart break are a part of this experience.
August 21st, 2015 at 3:23 pm
We visit it at least once a year on the way back from the coast. One of the most serene places on Earth.
August 20th, 2015 at 10:17 am
Considering the history, I found this to be the most peaceful/spiritual place I have ever been. Spent and entire day taking photos and just sitting under the trees. I can't wait to go back!
July 20th, 2015 at 1:13 pm
My husband and I stopped her with our kids on the way to an island in Beaufort – this place was stunning. I couldn't get enough of the beauty and the history. The tombs were so old and my kids were fascinated. The grounds are beautiful and the trees are amazing! It was such a beautiful place – it was sunny and hot but the grounds were so shady we stayed cool – we stopped and actually drank the water from the well and cooled off. My kids and I read the tombs and signs and little did they know, the were getting a little history lesson at the same time – A MUST SEE!!!

Hello! We can not find information regarding the filming of North and South at the ruins. However, maybe this will help you with your search of interments:
July 19th, 2015 at 12:22 am
As a native South Carolinian, who moved to Tar Heel state 30 years ago, I've never had an opportunity to visit the Old Sheldon Church. However, my wife and I hope to remedy that in the fall. I would appreciate an answer and quick history lesson of Sheldon regarding the Palmetto founding fathers who were members and buried in its property. When the mini-series North & South was filmed, was one of the scenes filmed in the Old Sheldon Church.

Joe Shamrock: I just posted on your Facebook, Joe. It went to your side notes as we aren't friends. I hope you can share them with Nikki.
July 10th, 2015 at 12:56 am
Of course Nikki, we prayed (and I still do for you… it is here at Sheldon's I prayed Charlie (your second cousin by the way) would find you all. And boy did he. I am sure your mom told you all about what we did in Charlie's final days. He wanted family more than anything. He wanted to be part of history so badly. Find me on face book and you can see all the things we did, and still are doing in his honor and your ancestor's honor. Have a great time…
July 10th, 2015 at 12:50 am
Trish, my name is Nikki. My mother Betty is related to Charlie. We met you several years ago when you stayed with her. We are planning on taking our children to this area and as i did a search i spotted pictures of this beautiful spot. I had never heard of it before. It caught my interest and I did further research to find out the history and the location so we could visit. What a small world that I would end up on this site with your post and that this meant so much to Charlie. I will think of you both when we visit. Take care.
July 6th, 2015 at 12:14 pm
Our family visited the ruins July 7, 2015. The entire property is so beautiful. When we entered the churchyard it was as if a feeling of peace came over us. So blessed to have been able to visit Old Sheldon Church Ruins.
July 3rd, 2015 at 10:32 pm
Thank you John.
July 3rd, 2015 at 9:18 pm
What a beautiful story! May God bless you.
April 25th, 2015 at 11:49 am
I stopped by yesterday afternoon (14th April) very briefly. One can feel the intense history and see ladies in elegant finery and men in tall hats arriving via expensive carriages. I do not believe in "hain'ts" ;), but if there were ever such a thing, this place would be haunted. Sort of creepy! Didn't stay long! If the weather was anything like ours last Sunday, the picnic got rained out. Sad.
April 15th, 2015 at 12:57 pm
There is an annual Chuch service and picnic here this Sunday the 19th! I am looking forward to it!
April 3rd, 2015 at 12:03 pm
I have been to the oceans rise when I was young And I could hear children screaming Around this specific tree I want to go back And see if this tree is still there and put a recorder out at night It just to see if It really is haunted
March 26th, 2015 at 3:21 am
This is beautiful! I can't wait to visit it in person!
March 19th, 2015 at 12:51 am
on my list to go see~~~rather than just passing by~~
March 12th, 2015 at 6:48 am
Trisha, thank you for sharing such a beautiful story with us. Our thoughts are with you, and we are happy that such a beautiful place has brought you and Charles so much meaning.
March 12th, 2015 at 3:57 am
My husband found a picture of the churchyard in one of the tourism books when we were planning our wedding. There was a song by Larry Jon Wilson that he also had in his record collection that has a haunting melody. We went on our honeymoon and visited the site on our last day. It was raining, and my husband the history nut was up on the graves wiping rain off the faded engravings trying to read them. He also told people of the history that we could find about the church yard. I prayed that day my husband would find his family- as he was adopted and taken away from them. Three years later we came back after a family reunion.35 people Charlie hadn't seen since he was a child sat around that table. When we visited the yard after the reunion, it was a bright and sunny day. He told several people there not only the story of the church yard but of his family and what he had discovered. In May of 2014 we visited again, this time after another family reunion. Charles Petty was diagnosed terminal and he wanted to go one more time. He talked to several people again, and he walked the grounds carefully. Sheldon Church yard changed his life…

Anyone traveling N/S on I-95 in clement weather should pack a picnic lunch and take c. 5-7 miles to church and dine in complete serenity. A very inspirational place.
November 24th, 2014 at 5:08 pm
I have seen pictures of Sheldon for most of my 75 years, but have never taken time to locate it. I appreciate the map and quick history of the church remains. Will visit soon.
November 4th, 2014 at 1:30 am
A must-see location!
October 28th, 2014 at 10:01 am
My fiancé and I are getting married here on April 4th, and I was wondering if couples who have gotten married here could answer a couple of questions for me. We are having the reception at the Beaufort Inn and wanted to know how you took pictures before the wedding and still stayed hidden when guest were arriving? Also wanted to know how to transport family to and from? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
July 20th, 2014 at 3:14 pm
About 2 years ago I was driving from Hilton Head to Beaufort and made a wrong turn. I ended up on a beautiful old road. I saw an old cemetery at least partly surrounded by an iron fence, and I am not sure if they were ruins of a church or not. I think the name of the road was Old Cemetery Road. I wish I could find it again; could it be this church, or another? Any help would be appreciated.
April 28th, 2014 at 1:48 pm
A link to a wedding booklet is provided above the map. Best of luck!
April 28th, 2014 at 1:25 pm
Old Sheldon church is a beautiful part of history, a landmark and an attraction, but there are no fences, no tickets to buy, and no crowds. It sits on a rural road far away and sum what hidden from civilization. Anyone can visit anytime. Its location is relatively secluded, and if you blink your eyes you might miss it. I would imagine the historic society would have answers about weddings, but I wouldn't recommend going through with it. There is wildlife all around, and not the good kind. Snakes and spiders, not to mention the sand gnats. It would ruin a wonderful day to have the one of the guests or, God forbid, the bride bitten by a brown recluse or a rattle snake.
April 26th, 2014 at 7:36 pm
How much does it cost to get married at this beautiful place?
April 25th, 2014 at 12:27 pm
I downloaded the pdf file for wedding info; sadly only the first page loads! Anyone have a contact person I can talk to?
April 22nd, 2014 at 8:56 am
We were married here in March of 2012. Loved this site since the time I saw it on SCETV years ago. So glad we made it a reality. Everyone who came for the wedding (3 hours plus) loved it!
March 7th, 2014 at 1:13 am
Lived in Beaufort from 1964 to 1966, husband was Navy Corpsman at the Naval Hospital. I took pictures of the church with a 3D camera. Had the viewer to view my slides with. Very nice. Rochelle
January 29th, 2014 at 10:20 am
I have a print or poster of a painting entitled "Ruins of War" with Old Sheldon Church. Do you know where I might find another non-faded copy? The artist is Thad Warren.
November 15th, 2013 at 6:20 am
I have stopped here numerous times and never had much of a crowd to inhibit photo ops. May have had to wait a few minutes for the scene to clear of visitors, but never a mob scene. Although a very popular spot for wedding photos … that could take some time.
November 3rd, 2013 at 10:50 am
Hello! I was wondering how crowded this can be. I want to take pictures and wasn't sure how thick the crowd can get.
October 15th, 2013 at 3:27 pm
Hi, Daniel. This site lists a phone number for reserving the Old Sheldon Ruins: http://scgreatoutdoors.com/park-oldsheldonchurchruins.html Best of luck!
October 15th, 2013 at 2:36 pm
Quick question. What are the open times for the site, and who could I contact about a special event at this location? I have a very special moment planned here very soon and am trying to nail down the details. Thanks in advance!!
September 17th, 2013 at 10:57 pm
I was there the weekend of September 13th. I found a very distinct piece of jewelry there on the ground. Please contact me at email@example.com with a detailed description of it and the day you lost it, to prove ownership, and I will mail it to you. It had to be lost the specific day I was there because it was shiny and fresh with no leaves or dirt on it, lying right on top of the grass.
July 14th, 2013 at 8:56 pm
I took my children there one drizzly evening. They were about 2 and 5 and not allowed to watch anything related to ghosts, etc . Having no knowledge of this sort of thing, as we were walking, my daughter whined the whole time wanting to leave because "people" were walking around watching us. Exasperated and knowing nothing of the folklore, I asked her what they looked like, not expecting her to tell me they were dressed funny in dresses and funny hats (exact description of period clothing). My son cried half the time. I thought he was just tired, not scared, but the next day at work, my co-worker informed me of the fact that "people" are seen on the property all the time at dusk.
July 11th, 2013 at 7:53 pm
I am from Hendersonville and grew up in Beaufort, SC, so I saw this site quite a bit. I have been living in Boston for 40 years and always go by to visit. My cousin from Boston and my daughter stopped by on the 4th of July and had fun taking pictures. A great piece of history!!
July 8th, 2013 at 9:57 pm
We were just there yesterday, and there is parking area across the road from the church. As long as its not too busy, you should be able to maneuver a 30-foot motor home around a large circle, or back up to turn around to come out. There is no parking or vehicle entrance on the church side – foot traffic only!
May 30th, 2013 at 11:07 am
Could someone tell me if there is enough room for a motor home to park at the Sheldon site?
April 25th, 2013 at 5:28 pm
Which British unit actually burned the church in 1779? There were several Brit units operating between Savannah, Beaufort, and Charleston in 1779-82. Also some Hessian (German) mercenaries, as well as some area loyalist forces.
April 9th, 2013 at 3:46 pm
Drive by it every year, 40 years now, on the way to Fripp Island. My parents would stop so we could get out and look around. Now I do the same with my kids! It is a great family tradition we have every year. My wife had her wedding portrait taken at the church.
April 9th, 2013 at 11:37 am
Yes, one of the pictures above is mine Jennifer.
April 9th, 2013 at 11:01 am
Good news, Jennifer! There is no fee!
April 8th, 2013 at 9:12 pm
Does anyone know if there is a fee to take photos here? Also does any of the pictures belong to anyone on here?
January 31st, 2013 at 10:10 pm
My wife and I recently visited this very sacred place for the second time and both times definitely noticed the feeling of a special spiritual presence–definitely hallowed ground. I found myself humming the 1962 gospel hymn by Doris Akers "There's a sweet, sweet Spirit in this place." College and university choirs that are "on tour" in the area should visit the site and sing this hymn while they are there. Of course, in January we experienced no bugs!

While stationed at MCAS Beaufort 92-96, went there on numerous occasions. Very peaceful spot and the old fashioned hand pump water well still works. What a great place full of history.
December 25th, 2012 at 10:41 am
When visiting my son, a Marine Corps Sgt who lives in Yemassee, and we were taking the kids to school we saw the church and stopped. I have been there three times … it's the most peaceful place I know of. As soon as you get back to the church and enter you feel as though someone has their arms around you. We stopped with the kids on the way home and the oldest said she felt warm there. I said I knew what she meant. It's just beautiful!! We were saddened when we were back over Thanksgiving and saw someone destroyed some of the tombstones? Who would do this?
November 14th, 2012 at 11:44 am
I am originally from California and my husband is from here so the first time we visited this beautiful place was in 2000 during a family vacation. I instantly fell in love! We have since moved here and live in Columbia but we visit every chance we get. It is a place of great beauty and peace. I have never been so moved as I am while I am there. My husband and I are planning on renewing our vows and this is where we will do it. I wouldn't dream of any place else!
November 8th, 2012 at 10:14 pm
I have visited this church since I was 1 year old. My family and I vacation at the near by Hunting Island every summer. We always stop and take in the wonderful history of this church. I consider this church a part of my family tradition. I must have two hundred pictures of my family and this church.
October 21st, 2012 at 9:01 pm
I live 5 minutes from this site and have never been bothered by bugs year round at Old Sheldon Church. However, once you get east of US 17, bugs are out when temps are above 60F and below 80F. They hide under the grass and leaves and can be stirred up outside those parameters, though.
August 24th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
We are getting married this year at the ruins, but still dont have a idea of who we can get to marry us…Could you please help.
We can travel one weekend soon to meet them. We about 1.5 hours away
July 22nd, 2012 at 9:58 am
I live in yemassee. Pass it twice a day going to base an never pay it any attention cause I didn't know it's history. Quite a lovely place. Congrats Scott. I take it that your with 273. Stay safe
July 9th, 2012 at 8:11 am
My husband is from Beaufort/Seabrook – and everytime we visit our family, we pass the church. I was finally able to get him to stop this May to let me take pictures. It is an absolutely beautiful place, and the weddings we've passed are out of a storybook. I would have LOVED to have had our wedding there.
July 8th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
What a Great place to visit on a Sunday morning. I imagine the Sunday service in my mind. I 'm having a spiritual and historical fix all in one. Wow!
July 3rd, 2012 at 8:08 pm
My fiance has selected this location for our upcoming wedding… I am looking forward to previewing the Ruins when I return from Afghanistan. I am sure its as special as everyone says.
July 2nd, 2012 at 8:15 pm
I always go past here everyday. I'm from Charleston and work in Hilton Head. I always see this sitting back in the woods and never stopped, but today I did and the place was cool. Just the feeling of being somewhere where history took place was an awesome feeling…..BTW good place to get married
June 28th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
I just recieved pics in mail from an aunt and this is Church is one of them. Apparently my family dates way back in the South as I had relatives that were married in this church. Who knew, go figure. And she even included the Bishops name of Stephen Elliott, however, she did not include dates.
May 14th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
I visited there on Sunday May 13th, 2012 with my mother and father. It was such a beautitul and sacred place to be. I noticed several things while being there. One of the trees (Located in the front entrance) had bricks inside of it, I guess from another building or structure from the area that once was there. It was very wierd but interesting to see. On the church structure itself, you can see past visiters who carved their name and date in the brick. And, strangely out the corner of my eye, I could've sworn I saw a spirit or appericition walking near the woods. It was very cool and I enjoyed being able to walk on such historic grounds.
May 10th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
I am a native South Carolinian. When I was young back in the 1930's, I attended the annual Memorial Services held each year in the Spring with my Mother and Aunt. Many of my Chisolm relatives are buried in the Church Yard. I have done extensive travels in my life time, but I have found few sites that are more beautiful and serene. I never hesitate to visit the Church when I am in the area and I take pride in taking my family and friends there so they, too, may enjoy the experience.
May 1st, 2012 at 5:14 pm
I LOVE visiting historical places & have been to plenty but have never experienced anything like I did when I visited this site a couple of days ago. I was awe struck & moved beyond comprehension as I entered the walls of the church. I was compelled to sing & so sang part of "Savior like a Shepherd Lead Us". I was moved to tears just being there & felt as though I just awoke from a dream when I returned to my car. I will definitely visit again!
April 24th, 2012 at 6:24 pm
I have passed by here several times when I am working in Beaufort. Stopped for the first time today. Such a peaceful spot. Beautiful pictures. You feel like you are stepping back in time.
April 23rd, 2012 at 3:26 pm
I am curious are there any orginal sketches or drawings around of what the church looked like in it's original glory…(before being burned)?
April 17th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Natalie, My husband and I got married here in early March of 2007. There were no bugs (no, we didn't spray either) and the weather was perfect. Would have liked a few more flowers blooming, but we only had snowbells in March. It was a beautiful wedding and our reception was held at the Beaufort Inn. December is usually mild in South Carolina, but you do take some chances. You are shooting for early December so you should be safe. The usual high is somewhere in the 60's. I think the bugs would definitely be less bothersome in December-they weren't an issue at all in March. I did all of my planning over the phone and in two day trips. I loved my wedding, but I wouldn't do another outdoor wedding- just too stressful! I wish you all the best!
April 14th, 2012 at 11:52 pm
What is the weather like here in early December? We are thinking about this site for our wedding and are very excited, but unsure if it will be too cold. Perhaps the bugs are less abrasive in the winter?
March 23rd, 2012 at 4:46 pm
I recently visited Sheldon Church. It is a beautiful place, and the resting place of several of my ancestors (William Bull, Mary Bull, etc.). The grounds are well kept, but I was disturbed to see the poor condition of the Bull tombs. They have deteriorated to a great degree from tourist and other traffic since the 1960s when I first saw them. I know that most visitors and users of the grounds are sensitive to the history and importance of these monuments, but wish that others would respect the fact that many of us still see this as sacred ground where our ancestors once worshiped. I want future generations of our families to have the opportunity to go there and see the graves of their ancestors too.
January 4th, 2012 at 4:31 pm
My husband & I visited while heading to Florida on vacation and this is the most beautiful area!
In the pictures I took of the church and grounds, I was amazed to see light filling the open windows of the church from above! Looked as if it was filled with the Light of God. Absolutely beautiful!
December 22nd, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Hey LizB1979, the bottom picture of the two is mine. I sell prints all the time and I'd be happy to get one out to you if you'd like. You can just click my name above there and it takes you to my site.
December 18th, 2011 at 10:10 pm
Does anyone know where I can find/buy prints of the church? My husband and I were there a couple years ago, and I would love to frame a nice photo or painting of it for our home.
December 4th, 2011 at 4:12 pm
My sister and I were there 10-11-11 about 10AM and she waited in the car with the sun roof open while I ventured to take photos. The church and grounds are very beautiful and moving. The silence brings you to imagine what the church must have been like when in use by the parishioners. BUT I was there before anyone else ventured out and the mosquito were looking for brunch. I am glad I braved the bugs to get the photos, as I was not disappointed. On my run back to the car, my sister was battling the bugs trying to get in the sun roof, but it was all worth it.
November 26th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
Have been several times, never fails to impress me. It is amazing the history surrounding the site and really shows the perseverance of the American people.
November 17th, 2011 at 10:33 am
Sarah, check out Richfield Plantation! It is absolutely beautiful and it will continue the old southern feeling you get from the ruins! I just had my engagment party at Richfield and we were very happy!
November 16th, 2011 at 10:37 pm
Hi everyone! My dream has always been to get married here but I'm so concerned about a venue for my reception. Can anyone help point me in a good direction on places nearby for a reception?
November 16th, 2011 at 10:38 am
This is a beautiful place! For many years I took my sons to see this place — you can obtain peace here.
October 6th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
Old Sheldon works its magic on everyone who visits here. There is a feeling of time stopped – as if someone from the past could easily step out of the shadows! The light, the air, the mood of the ruins are awesome and addictive – you make a promise to yourself that you will return.
September 16th, 2011 at 9:47 am
One of the most beautiful spots in Beaufort County!
August 29th, 2011 at 11:14 am
Absolutely beautiful place… so peaceful! Got great photos in just a matter of minutes as I was passing through. But I DO, DO, DO recommend the bug spray as said before…
July 23rd, 2011 at 10:13 pm
Can't emphasize enough about the bug spray. I was just there at dusk on July 20 to photograph, and the place has BOTH black flies AND mosquitoes. The photos were worth the effort.
July 2nd, 2011 at 7:05 am
Ally- plenty of people go there to take pictures- just go and plan on waiting if there are others/tourists/etc. They will be gorgeous!
June 15th, 2011 at 11:34 am
I would love to take my bridal portraits here..does anyone know if there is a charge to take pictures?
May 31st, 2011 at 8:34 am
My family has a house close to there. We stopped by and looked around. Its really cool to see that the church is still standing and is a wonderful piece of history.
March 17th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
A wedding at Old Sheldon Church is beautiful, and nearby Richfield Plantation is a great place for a reception
February 2nd, 2011 at 11:37 am
I am getting married at Old Sheldon Church in May. The cost is $1000 which includes spraying for mosquitos and is a tax deductible donation. The number to call is 843-466-0151.
January 22nd, 2011 at 6:17 pm
My son and my daughter in law were married at this beautiful spot in 2008. Contact St. Helena's Church in downtown Beaufort to find out the contact person regarding weddings. In 2008, the cost was $200 but it may be more now. Don't wait as dates fill up quickly.
January 13th, 2011 at 3:54 pm
I went there today, it was beautiful.
October 11th, 2010 at 8:38 am
There is a phone number posted right inside the gate to call if you want to use the grounds there (for weddings etc). Sorry, I didn't write it down. This is outside with swamps around it so if you plan a wedding it might be smart to also plan to have some type of bug (mosquito) spraying done to make it more pleasant.
October 10th, 2010 at 9:15 am
What a beautiful setting! Saw a wedding there yesterday. It must be one of the most delightful places to start a marriage in America if you appreciate history and especially Southern history.
October 2nd, 2010 at 8:42 pm
My wife and I visited the ruins today (Oct. 2, 2010). It was a beautiful clear day, mid 70's, low humidity – a perfect day. If you are in to history the ruins are a very moving place. Anyway, there is a sign there with a phone number to call if you want to hold an event there. I took plenty of pictures, but unfortunately (sorry to Melissa) I didn't take any of the sign (no reason too). If you search enough I'm sure you will find who to contact. It would be an absolutely memorable place to have a special event!
September 29th, 2010 at 9:42 am
Melissa – did you find out any information? I am interested as wel.
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:06 pm
My wife and I were married at the Old Fort Dorchester State Park. It dates back to the Revolutionary War times as well and the bell tower is still standing.
August 10th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Is there a fee to get married at the church? If so, how much and whom do I speak to?

Haye v Chisora 'great' to Steve Bunce
Boxing pundit Steve Bunce today insisted it "beggars belief" that David Haye versus Dereck Chisora can be called anything other than "a great fight."
Boxing pundit Steve Bunce today insisted it "beggars belief" that David Haye versus Dereck Chisora can be called anything other than "a great fight."
Bunce, who lives in Lichfield, will have one of the best seats in the house at West Ham's Upton Park on Saturday night as a commentator for BoxNation.
Controversy has reigned ever since the two fighters first clashed violently at a press conference after Chisora's loss to Vitali Klitschko in February.
The British Boxing Board of Control were keen to act, Haye was retired so had no British licence while Chisora had his withdrawn by the BBBfC.
The two will settle their differences in the ring without the consent of the board but Bunce insists there's nothing wrong with the contest.
He said: "It's going to be a big event and, contrary to public myth and what has been reported, it's a fully legal fight.
"There's nothing illegal about it, it's a terrific fight on every single level, two British heavyweights at their peak.
"Forget the fact that Haye retired last year, he's still a baby at 31 and a year ago was going the distance with a Klitschko.
"Dereck Chisora, just a few months ago, did the same and gave Vitali his hardest fight since Lennox Lewis 10 years ago.
"It will be shown in 60 different countries in front of 30,000 people and yet some will tell you it isn't a good fight, it beggars belief."
The ugly scenes in Germany that started the feud began when Haye burst into the room to call out long-standing target Vitali Klitschko.
Haye had lost his WBA 'super' world crown to Wladimir Klitschko the summer before and then announced his retirement in the winter.
Chisora took offence and confronted Haye which led to a wild melee which gained widespread media attention and a subsequent fight.
Promoter Frank Warren revealed ticket sales had pushed the 30,000 mark this week and Upton Park will be close to capacity.
And Bunce compared Haye and Chisora's "crime" to Lennox Lewis' pre-fight rumble with Mike Tyson before Lewis' famous win a decade ago.
Bunce said: "Let's get it right, it was Haye who threw first an elbow, a punch and then two more elbows. Chisora didn't throw a punch.
"Then again, Lewis sucker punched Tyson, Tyson bit his leg and they were selling it as the biggest fight ever! What is the worst incident?
"A man not throwing a punch during a fight or a man sucker punching the most famous and notorious heavyweight of the last 50 years?
"Everybody seems to love Haye and everybody seems to hate Chisora, just because Dereck spat in Wladimir's face."

Black Rob Disses Diddy … Again
Shyne and Mark Curry aren't the only ex-Bad Boy artists lashing out against their former boss Diddy. Black Rob, who's fired shots at Sean Combs over the past year, has reignited his beef with the rap mogul. In a new interview, Rob speaks out against the Bad Boy family saying Diddy was janky from the start.
"I always thought it was a family situation," Rob told Thisis50.com, explaining that when he went to prison, no one from Bad Boy even bothered to pay him a visit. "All the people up at Bad Boy, none of them reached out to me. None of them even cared. […] All those years we spent together? That s— ain't mean nothing to you dawg? You actually think I'm not your man? That right there told me that n—- was never my man. Ever."
He also spoke on how he brought G-Dep into the game by introducing him to Puff, but Diddy snatched him away from Black Rob and took all the credit. "I had a conversation with Puff like, 'Yo, that's my artist!" he exclaimed. "Even though I didn't have any of the paperwork, he just snatched him from me. That's some sucka s—."
Diddy attempts to defend himself and Bad Boy in the new fall issue of Vibe magazine. "Like, all this year I've heard people say, 'Where's Carl Thomas, where's Black Rob, where's G.Dep? Where are these artists?" Diddy alleges. "And for some reason they go ahead and equate that, cause those artists aren't with me, that I've done something wrong or malicious or conniving. It's something that I do have a problem with because they don't have no proof that I've ever done nothing like that."
Rob also shot down recent comparisons that the hip-hop community has been making of Rick Ross to the Notorious B.I.G., a claim that even Diddy co-signed. "Comparing Ross to this dude Big, it can't happen," he said, reminiscing on Biggie's crazy work ethic. "B.R. said that, Puff."

Some Cadillac dealers are upset about delays at the General Motors Assembly Plant in Arlington that slow the shipment of Escalade SUVs.
A lengthy quality inspection of some interior parts has led to delays of a month or more from the time the 2015-model Escalades roll off the assembly line to their arrival at dealerships, according to Automotive News.
In addition, the automaker experienced delays in shipments of the $75,000 SUVs.
"We deployed more people to Arlington to speed up the analysis process," Kurt McNeil, interim Cadillac sales chief, told Automotive News in an e-mail.
The company also added "many more trucks to the distribution system to increase shipping capacity," McNeil said.
Late last week, the average time between assembly and delivery was two weeks – down from a four-week average earlier in the summer, Automotive News said.
That period should drop further to a week on average by Sept. 1, McNeil told the publication.
Escalade sales more than doubled in July and are up 27 percent year-to-date.

Interesting concept, i played as a battlemage in oblivion, and that i really loved.
LAst Update B4 posting in the Official Forums XD. Any suggestions, this is the time!!! Or at least vote =P
I see Battle Mage as a distant future 4th spec for a mage to allow it to tank.
New Class: Dragonsworn
It isn't a terrible idea, but I just don't see the point of adding something like this, and the game doesn't need another cloth wearer. I don't find your gameplay ideas to be particularly compelling or interesting. Also, the game most definitely does not need any more "hero classes."
The hero class concept was ultimately a failed experiment to me, because in an mmo environment, no one class can truly be on a higher level than others just for the purposes of balance. So, really the only heroic part of DK for instance is that they start at level 55 with a cool class-exclusive questline. That makes the class feel somewhat special, but utterly ruins the balance of people playing whatever class just because people are lazy and the lure of starting a character at level 55 appeals to them. Hence, you always see shitloads of DKs running around constantly, and they'll always be one of the more populated classes for that reason alone.
"All statements within these quotation marks are untrue."
I'm happy for now that you at least didn't find it a terrible idea =). Ofc not everyone should want to play it, otherwise if it ever were implemented, there would be only Battlemages. Alhough I agree the game does not need another cloth wearer, I think it's all about the flavour of the gameplay, and I think that's what it's all about. Furthermore, a clothy tanky could appeal to many =). Now about the Hero class troubled existence, I don't think DK's are OP in any way, I know they started out as, but not at the moment. You have to remember that in order to have a DK, a player must already have another toon of that lvl or near, which ultimately refutes your idea of people wanting a DK because it starts already in mid-game. So people can just continue with their vanilla class, there is no benefit with starting a DK from that point forward. So I say the hero class works well nowadays in wow, and I see no downside to other classes when it comes to lvling, pvp or pve, and I welcome other hero classes, since all they really have different is their starting zone. PS: I must agree that DK's are indeed one of the most populated classes, but I don't think it's because of them having an edge against other classes, but only because people find the Hero class title somewhat alluring or the class itself. Bringing back other hero classes like the Demon Hunter and Dragon Sworn would, I believe, clutter the DK's population =)
Yea good idea
I voted "complete waste"
WoW has too many Classes already, and it's already an imbalanced mess. Adding more would only make this issue worse
Rest In Peace, World of Warcraft. Subscriber count doesn't matter, WoW has been dead in spirit for a while

Serious Education ... plus the most fun you can have in metal finishing.
Safety of open fire barbecue with galvanized mesh
A discussion started in 2002 and continuing through 2017 . . .
(2002)Q. Please let me know whether there is any hazard in using galvanized mesh over the open fire for barbecue. Will the fume or any substance from the Galvanized mesh in direct contact with the food while burning, contaminate the food such as steak or fish?
David Wong- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
A. Hi, David. If you are a manufacturer, you would want to nickel plate or ceramic coat, not galvanize, the components ... because zinc is not considered a food-safe surface. So the following assumes that you are an individual building one grill for yourself --
Zinc is an essential micronutrient, not a cumulatively toxic metal like cadmium, mercury, or lead; but are you sure it is actually zinc galvanizing, not a piece of cadmium plated scrap? When you use things for purposes for which they weren't intended, you may have the situation that you don't really know what they are. Further, there usually are no research studies of such things, so you are not going to get facts, only an educated guess (although sometimes you can find a WHO or similar report if you search hard and if the practice is widespread in the 3rd world).
Most things are a matter of degree. It is not considered a good idea to eat food off of a zinc surface, and I'd be leery of it the first time something was cooked on it, but if it struck me as the practical way to build this thing, I'd probably get the fire good and hot, then wash the grill after this initial exposure to the heat, then go with it.

Q. Back Yard Barbecue
For years we have been using a "pig holder" made with galvanized steel poles, flat reinforcement bars, and chain link fabric on a homemade concrete block barbecue. The pig is butterflied and laid flat between two panels -- creating a sandwich that holds the pig in place and allows it to be flipped during the cooking process.
We have done this for years with no ill effects -- at least none that we know of. Now we hear that galvanized metal should NOT be used on cooking surfaces. Is there a way to burn off the coating before use? Could we grind off the coating from the flat support bars and use an aluminum or aluminum-coated steel chain link fabric for our mesh? (Only the chain link fabric and the support bars touch the meat, and only in a limited way.) Is there any other type of chain link or wire mesh material that would be more suitable? No axe to grind here -- we just don't want anyone getting sick at one of our parties.
Thanks for your help!
Glenn Lindgrenbarbecue - Eagan, Minnesota, USA
Q. I have recently switched to hardwood in my B.B.Q instead of propane or charcoal.The problem is the ash and small pieces of wood fall through the bottom of my B.B.Q. Would I be able to use a galvanized steel mesh on the bottom of the B.B.Q to catch the embers?
The steel would not come in contact with the food but I wonder if the heat from the flame would affect the finish and any chemicals would leech into the food anyway ?
Consumer/handyman - Laval, Quebec, Canada
A. Hi, Glenn. We appended your inquiry to a very similar one which has already been answered. Yes, aluminum coated fencing would probably be preferable if readily available; but, if not, burning off the galvanizing would be more than sufficient for me personally.
Hi, Victor. I personally would not worry at all about such minimal use of zinc. Again, I'm just the operator of this metal finishing site, certainly not an epidemiologist :-)

Q. This is a Hobbyist type question. I do a lot of outdoor cooking and BBQing. I recently purchased a 4' X 8' sheet of expanded metal to serve as a cooking grate. The metal came with a tag that warned of dust and vapor from welding, burning and cutting. I use only non-coated common steel pieces for cooking or BBQing. However, I noticed that the tag also warned of trace amounts of Lead and other heavy metals. I always wear particle and dust masks along with other PPE while burning, cutting, grinding or welding. Now I am interested in any harmful vapors or metals that can enter food while using these metal grates for cooking. BBQers are always instructed to season their equipment (and I do) for corrosion protection. Does this also help with any off-gassing? Also. The temps that are used in the cooking process are well below melt points. Most Hobbyists cook between 225 °F and 350 °F.
Is there any harm from using any specific metals for these purposes? For instance, I use mild steel walk way grating as cooking grates. I also use common non-coated steel angle iron and expanded metal for the same purposes. Should I be worried? Any precautions?
hobbyist - Trinity, Alabama
A. Hi, Lendon. If the supplier's lawyers or a government agency felt it was advisable to label this metal and to warn you of the dangers of welding, burning, or cutting it, it just isn't reasonable to expect a third party -- who doesn't even know exactly what it is -- to assure you that, not only are the labels completely wrong, but it's even okay to eat off of it :-)
Sorry, and Regards,

Q. I want to use a galvanized steel ring (36" diameter/ 8" height) as a fire pit ring and I am concerned about the toxicity of the galvanized metal when regularly introduced to the heat of a fire. is it safe to uses as a fire pit ring? If it is, is it still safe to use if the kids are cooking hot dogs and roasting marshmallows? Most of the time I love my kids - don't want to poison them? Not yet at least. Thanks.

Galvanized aluminum and grilling
March 4, 2015Q. I recently used a piece of galvanized aluminum left from duct work to line and cover a hole in the bottom of my grill. The charcoal grates were about four inches above this sheet of aluminum obviously holding the charcoal. Is there a risk that the food was contaminated and if so what would have been the symptoms for those that consumed the food and finally would this exposure be something to see a doctor for? Thanks for your help, feeling very stupid for using the aluminum, Tobias.
Tobias SchirmerHobbyist - Belleville, Illinois
March 2015
A. Hi Tobias. I'm a bit confused regarding what you think the material is. Galvanized duct work would be steel sheet metal with a coating of zinc on it. There is such a thing as aluminized metal, which is steel with a coating of aluminum on it, but it's less common and I doubt that the duct work was made out of it.
People often wrap their corn, potatoes, fish, and other foods in aluminum foil for grilling, so certainly there is no issue with aluminum. But as said above, it's a bad idea to use materials in food preparation that weren't intended for the purpose though ... still, I can't really imagine this galvanized ductwork liner, covering a hole, doing the slightest harm to anyone. Zinc is an essential micronutrient, not a poison.
Ted Mooney, P.E. RET

Please Note>>
According to Wikipedia, Zinc IS poisonous if an excess amount is present in the human body...
Even though zinc is an essential requirement for a healthy body, excess zinc can be harmful, and cause zinc toxicity. Such toxicity levels have been seen to occur at ingestion of greater than 225 mg of Zinc. Excessive absorption of zinc can suppress copper and iron absorption.

Yes, of course, Bartholemew. Paracelsus doubled down on that idea 500 years ago with "Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.
Ted Mooney, P.E. RET
Pine Beach, New Jersey
November 10, 2016
A. If you have any concerns about zinc, buy what surface you want to use at a farm supply place, like Fleet Farm or TSC; their galvanized steel products are usually "hot-dipped galvanized" which you can recognize by the "feathery" appearance to the coating (instead of a smooth surface) that only hot-dipped galvanized zinc has. It is easy (and can be either fun or dangerous) to remove the galvanizing with DILUTED Muriatic acid (add one part acid to 6-10 parts COLD water. Do not add the WATER TO the ACID. Do NOT use hot water. It will bubble like crazy (GOGGLES) and etch off the zinc but the bubbling slows way down when only the iron is left. The bubbles are hydrogen gas so no open flames or sparks. Been there, done that. Got the singed hair to show for it.
BTW: why mix the two that way? It CAN can very hot very fast if they mix too fast. Which do you want spraying up in your face? Hot water with some acid in it? Or hot acid with some water in it?

Q. Hi. I recently bought a small (2x2) square sheet of zinc coated steel to place over a rusty portion of my smoker box. I have sanded it, but my question is, is sanding enough to remove the zinc coating. I'm worried about the heat causing fumes that could contaminate the food. Any help is really appreciated.
Raymond Tannock- Somers Point, New Jersey
March 2017
A. Hi Raymond. Not to worry. Your question can sort of be compared to asking whether taking a baby aspirin is safe since we know that swallowing a bottleful of aspirin is dangerous. Zinc is an essential micronutrient, not a toxin. The "zinc problem" affects welders and others who heat large quantities of zinc to it's vaporization point and then inhale the resulting clouds of fumes and suffer an overdose.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is refusing to halt a federal judge's order declaring Oregon's same-sex marriage ban unconstitutional.
The court issued an order Wednesday declining to block any new same-sex unions in the state while a federal appeals court considers whether an anti-gay marriage group can intervene in the case.
The order follows an emergency appeal by the National Organization for Marriage that seeks to overturn the May 19 ruling of U.S. District Judge Michael McShane. The group had unsuccessfully tried to intervene in the lower court proceeding after Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum declined to defend the same-sex ban.
Hundreds of same-sex Oregon couples have obtained marriage licenses since McShane's order.
The group filed its request with Justice Anthony Kennedy and he referred it to the full court.

Feedback -- Fallout: New Vegas Edition
Games in this Video:
Fallout: New Vegas (Xbox 360), Fallout: New Vegas (PlayStation 3), Fallout: New Vegas (PC)Comments are Closed
The Zombies in Halo aren't really Zombies, despite the name... Also, they had Zombies since 2007, to my knowledge, so...
I'm excited about Redbox, kinda. But my nearest Redbox changed to a Blockbuster box. I haven't seen games in that yet. But why $2? Ok, it could be regional. Here they charge $1 a night.
And you don't need to buy DLC. Well, in some instances, like playing some gametypes in older Halo games, yes, you needed it. But really, that's your choice. But like in Bordelands you can still play with everyone regardless, but if you wanted to go to a DLC area, then, yeah... I like DLC, anyway.
I would LOVE a Fallout Texas. Especially cuz i live there. I'd be walking around, say Austin, going "Omg, i've been there!" Pop a DQ in there, go to Schlitterbahn and kills some ghouls.Posted: October 20, 2010 5:16 PM -
My comment seems to have dissapeared, so I'll say it again. Knowing Obsidian's history and listening to these guys complain about bugs and glitches really makes me lose what little hope I had for the Wheel of Time game that Obsidian is helping to work on. I don't have high hopes for the game because it is a book being turned into a game and I don't see how they can accurately portray the world that was created over 13 books into a game format and keep in all the cool things that people will hope to see.
Posted: October 20, 2010 5:16 PM -
You know what would actually be really fun? A game world that was beautifully designed, but purposefully had "glitches" in it that would cause horrific and gruesome deaths for characters if you weren't paying attention. I'd imaging the plot would be something like playing as a game tester in a world that had VR games and where you could die if you ran into a particularly bad bug in the game.

fall out new vegas sucks, it is a buggy piece of crap, and gameplay changes up almost nothing from the fall out 3, oh and it is one ugly game, i wonder if the developer knows that more colors than brown our available also the characters are fugly. why does this show only focus on popular stuff like fall out and halo vanquish is better than both of those games, even the new naruto ninja storm 2 is more polished and fun. try supporting good games and not crap g4.

His review for NV was terrible.Next time don't have a Bethesda fanboy with an inability to differentiate between good and bad writing.And the fact that people are trying to blame Obsidian for the flaws of Bethesda's bad engine is a joke.

I am Canadian, and i absolutely loved the hilarious comments. If Bethesda choses to make a fallout: Toronto or Fallout: Montreal they must add the weapon 'Hockey puck cannon". Bethesda... Your move.

It was nice to see chris on here. I was a little angry with the review but hearing him talk about it helped me understand his gripes a little more. I still personally think the writing is at least on par and the side quests are just as substantiative. Not sure why he down talks the ammo crafting when clearly he made a character that wasnt good at it. Thats the point of this game right? to have many different ways of playing? i like how matt chimes in multiple tiimes making the point of its use! I have had one hard crash but thats one of the few bugs I've seen. I learned my lesson playing fallout3, I save constantly so this hasnt really been a problem.

Great show sir's and Ma'ams. When you rent from Redbox you choose up to 5 movies to rent at 1 dollar a night they uasally charge you at 9 in the evening, so if you return it before then you dont get charged the extra dollar. you swipe your card it keeps your info , and when you return it, it charges you the total for the kept time. After 15 days or something i forgot the total days you can have it, they charge you for the total of the movie. i would assume it would work the same way with the game rents.
Redbox and Netflix have pretty much changed the way people rent movies. it has basically bankrupt Blockbuster and any other store rental, even Hollywood rentals has gone under.Posted: October 20, 2010 4:00 PM -
It's disappointing to see how the staff did not mention Demon's Souls in their little debate about Online MP. I think game developers should look at how From Software implemented their online MultiPlayer functionality in Demon's Souls in way that feels original new and fresh and not slapped in order to make the gamer think that they are getting extra bang for their buck .
In the years to come I think Demon's Souls will be remembered as the game that changed how we look at online functionality with games. Just goes to show how this game, while being critically acclaimed by the gaming industry, still is being overlooked.Posted: October 20, 2010 3:58 PM -
Red box pretty much shut down my local Hollywood video, Game Crazy, and Movie Gallery.

Powerful Productions
Why did X-play not say how glitchy it is? I bought it and was enjoying it until it froze like 3 times all in the first 4 player levels. Oh well, I got a cool pack of cards and a big Fallout box!! Can you say I got totally fan-boyed?

Lord Tweedsmuir streakers call bum rap on Surrey schools for naked grad prank punishment
The parents of eight boys who streaked through Cloverdale's Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary say their kids faced punishment exceeding their crime.
On June 14 during the lunch hour, the eight senior students dropped their clothes and ran through the school naked. Such shenanigans, according to some parents, have become a traditional graduation prank at the school.
Principal Allan Buggie, who has been at the school for two years, is not turning the other cheek, and suspended the students for three days and told them they were not allowed to show up to the cap-and-gown Grade 12 commencement ceremonies.
One of the streakers, Dwight Lilly,17, and his mother Debby are not happy with the punishment meted out by the school principal.
"He just said his mind is made up. It's not changing, and that's the way it's going to be," Lilly said. "He said there are no pranks at his school."
She said the consequences represent a new level of punishment for the offense.
"My oldest son did it three years ago," Lilly said, adding that he received a three-day suspension and "that was it."
There is one boy who won a scholarship, but won't have the honour of receiving it at commencement, Lilly added.
Surrey School District spokesperson Doug Strachan said there's no specific district policy regarding graduation pranks, but there are rules of conduct for staff and students.
He said schools set out clear expectations about grad pranks, because Surrey, as in other districts, has had incidences where the pranks have been harmful.
"I can tell you, commencements have been the stakes at other schools where pranks have occurred," Strachan said.
"Certainly having seniors streak through a school where there are also 13-year-old girls in hallways, I'm sure there would be students and parents at that grade level that would have concerns about that," Strachan said.
Lilly said there are parents whose kids weren't involved who will be passing on the commencement out of protest.
Lord Tweedsmuir Principal Buggie could not be reached for comment.

Alvis v. Espinosa
Petition for certiorari denied on January 17, 2012Docket No. | Op. Below | Argument | Opinion | Vote | Author | Term |
11-84 | 9th Cir. | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A | OT 2011 |
Disclosure: Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys work for and/or contribute to this blog in various capacities, represents the respondent in this case.
Issue: (1) Whether the Ninth Circuit erred in holding that when an officer makes an unlawful entry, and does so "intentionally or recklessly," the officer loses authority under the Fourth Amendment to use reasonable force to protect himself or the public during that search; and (2) whether the Ninth Circuit erred in denying qualified immunity for the officers' use of force based solely on the conclusion that the force may have violated the Fourth Amendment, without performing the second step of the qualified immunity analysis by inquiring whether clearly established law prohibited the force under the circumstances.
