The lawsuit brought forward by three Sullivan's Island residents against the town concerning Sullivan's Island Elementary School will proceed into the courts. The lawsuit is very active and moving forward, spokesperson Barbara Spell said in a release to the Moultrie News.
A rebuilt Sullivan's Island Elementary is scheduled to open the fall of 2014. The school, a $26.5 million project, will be 74,000 square feet. The lawsuit is seeking to accomplish a town vote on the school, because the size and design – about twice as big as the former building – have been controversial. A group against the proposed school obtained the necessary number of signatures on a petition for a referendum, but legal counsel representing the town, as well as outside counsel, determined the petition was defective.
Will and Kathleen Post and Martha Smith brought the suit.
Town council has publicly maintained that the petition was invalid.
Depositions of town officials are now being scheduled as part of the ongoing lawsuit for the right to a vote on the size and scope of Sullivan's Island Elementary School. A trial is expected by the end of the year.
"At every turn, Sullivan's Island Town Council has ignored and rebuffed the certified petition presented to council before they signed the lease related to the pristine beach front site for the school. The clearly stated goal of the petition was to require Sullivan's Island Town Council to hold a referendum and allow residents to vote on the size and scope of the school," Spell said.
"Elections are but one remedy for overturning what an elected body has done. The other available remedy is the petition/referendum process," she added.
The group involved in the lawsuit maintain that if elected officials on Sullivan's Island can use taxpayer money to fight and ignore state law — what would keep elected officials in other communities and other governing bodies from doing the same thing next time and ignoring the will of the people?
"For all citizens who follow the rule of law, the petitioning process offers a legal means by which any apparent ambiguous action by our elected officials can and should be called into question," said Spell. "Our country prides itself on a system of checks and balances that must be honored and respected by our elected officials."
In light of the court's favorable ruling last March Spell said the group will continue to challenge the town's insistence that their constituents are not entitled to a vote.
In a statement to the Moultrie News, Sullivan's Island Town Administrator Andy Benke said that the town cannot comment on a matter which is currently in litigation.
He continued that, "However with regard to the Sullivan's Island Elementary School, I can advise that the old building has been completely demolished, a general contractor has been awarded the construction contract, the new building foundation is complete and in place, building package steel is being delivered and construction crews are on site and working toward completion of the project. The town is excited about the August 2014 completion date and looks forward to the opening of the new facility."

This project examines subgenres of Asian American cultural production, American representations of Asian Americans, and other cultural texts situated in the "American Pacific" between Commodore Perry's "opening" of Japan in 1853 and the changes in both political and aesthetic context that took place after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Why was there no dominant genre of Asian American writing before ethnic autobiography became prominent in the 1940s with works like Bulosan's America is in the Heart and Okubo's Citizen 13360? In the century that preceded the public recognition and generic limits (what Claudia Tate calls "the protocols of race") that characterize many post-WWII ethnic autobiographies and Bildungsromans, what forms of discourse and culture were available to Asian American authors? Asking such questions will enable not only the recovery and analysis of relatively unexamined modes of early Asian American cultural production, but also the theorization of the political and racial conditions for the emergence and disappearance of subgenres. To what extent does the prefix of "subgenre" reflect the experiences of racial subjection, national subject formation, and the expressive possibilities of the subaltern?
This collection places texts produced by Asians living in, passing through, or commenting on the U.S. in the broader context of changing relationships between America and various Asian nations throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These transnational contexts lend both historical and geographical specificity to studies that analyze how imperialism and geographically uneven development influence the asymmetrical circulation of texts across the contested Pacific. For more information see the web address provided below.
Please send a 1-2 page proposal with a 1-page CV to the following e-mail address by 1 October, 2005. Full-length papers of 7,000 to 8,000 words will be due by 1 May 2006.

Hey, there are wine lovers, and then there are wine lovers. I won't judge; I'm not going to rain on anyone's parade for being happy.
Happy Man Bottle Stopper Is Big on Stopping Power
Those of us who partake in the fermented grape juice known as wine are aware of the problems faced when storing a partially consumed bottle. I have used aluminum foil, pushed the open cork back into the bottle, and I have even tried other wine stoppers, but none of these solutions seem to provide the proper seal — or, if they do, they can sometimes be difficult to remove. I still recall the old, real corks that would sometimes break in two when reused.
Now we have the Happy Man Bottle Stopper:
- He's 2.4″ x 3.4″ x 3.2″.
- His huge appendage will seal most bottles of wine, beer, or other beverage.
- He makes a great gag gift or bachelorette party favor.
- He's recommended for adults only, but just the ones who aren't too grown up to appreciate his level of humor.
The Happy Man Bottle Stopper Is a Sociology Experiment
Some wine connoisseurs spoil it for the rest of us by taking their hobby to an elitist, snobby level; if you're ever invited to a wine tasting party by people who take it all a little too seriously, presenting the Happy Man Bottle Stopper to your hosts might help bring some good-natured levity to the occasion. (Or it might get you uninvited to future events, but maybe that would actually be a blessing in disguise.)
But the Happy Man Bottle Stopper doesn't have to be used strictly for keeping wine safe. He can also put the plug in bottles of beer or other beverages. He's just happy — really happy — to help.

Exactly a year ago this week, the INEOS petrochemical business at Grangemouth in Scotland was facing closure. This would have been a disaster for the thousands of people employed directly and indirectly, as well as for Scotland. The blog was very closely involved in helping to achieve a successful outcome alongside the Scottish and UK governments, INEOS and the UNITE […]

Lessons from Grangemouth – how Europe can revive its industrial base
Sometimes a crisis can concentrate minds on one key issue. This was certainly the case last week, when the blog was part of the tense debate over the future of the INEOS petrochemical plant at Grangemouth, Scotland involving the UK and Scottish governments, INEOS and the UNITE union. The experience highlighted some critical learnings for the future of […]
PetroChina offer $1bn for INEOS European refining JV
INEOS have today announced that PetroChina have made an "irrevocable offer of $1.015bn for a 50% share in its European refining business". This is an excellent price, given the current weak performance of the European refining industry. INEOS' negotiating team have clearly done a superb job in ensuring that PetroChina looked beyond these difficulties, and […]
INEOS plans refining/technology JVs with PetroChina
The Falkirk Herald, INEOS's local newspaper in Scotland, has had to wait a long time for its 'scoop' of June 2009 to be confirmed.

UK media speculate over Ineos asset deals as EBITDA doubles
A week ago, the BBC carried a report that PetroChina had completed "preliminary work" on a possible bid to buy a stake in Ineos' Grangemouth refinery.

Ineos talks of PetroChina deal for Grangemouth
The 'Falkirk Herald', based close to Ineos's Grangemouth facility in Scotland, is not normally the place that the blog would look for news of the potential sale of a major part of the world's 4th largest chemical company. However, that is what happened today, when the 'Herald' reported that Grangemouth site manager Gordon Grant had […]

Digg, del.icio.us, DotNetKicks, StumbleUpon, Reddit and many other are all social bookmarking sites where users "save online" their bookmarks. So other users can see the bookmarks, and see which are the "hot" pages about a certain topic. Some of these sites also allow users to "vote" for the bookmarks, creating a sort of "popularity contest" where the most voted pages, posts or news should be the most interesting to read.
But all these sites are technology focused (dotnetkicks, digg) or very generic (del.icio.us, StumbleUpon) so it's difficult to find articles about niche topics like climbing.
So, a French climber/developer, Francis Dierick, decided to built a social bookmarking site specific for climbing: Peakr
If you are into Climbing, and find some interesting news, video or post, please register and submit it to Peakr.
Or if you are looking for what's happening in the world of climbing and alpinism, but don't want to read 20 different blog or sites, this is a good site to read since it contains almost everything that is happening.
The site started only one month ago, so for the moment not many active users, but hopefully it will grow. They also give 1$ to a "well-known environmental group" per each user that register to the site, so registering will also do good for the planet and for the "outdoor climbing playgrounds".
This is the blog of Simone Chiaretta, an Italian .NET developer, architect, Microsoft MVP, ASPInsider, Subtext core member, ASP.NET MVC lover with a passion for mountain climbing.

A case of poor timing landed state Superintendent of Education Paul Pastorek in hot water with the House Appropriations Committee as he was testifying Wednesday about his agency's budget.
Pastorek, whose cocksure manner and $377,000 annual pay package has rankled legislators in years past, told Rep. Patricia Smith, D-Baton Rouge, early in the meeting that he planned to select a new superintendent for the Recovery School District "soon, very soon." But Pastorek didn't divulge to the committee members that he had tapped John White, deputy chancellor for New York City public schools, to take over the job held by Paul Vallas.
As Pastorek continued his testimony, lawmakers on the committee learned the truth, as the news of White's selection was reported on NOLA.com. And that brought a rebuke from the courtly committee chairman Jim Fannin, D-Jonesboro, who reminded the superintendent that he was under oath when he was being questioned. "So you weren't willing to share that? That you had made the selection?" Fannin asked.
Pastorek responded that he was "trying to report to all my principals what my plan is to do, and I'm trying to get buy-in and support and trying to communicate." That explanation failed to soothe Fannin. "I'm going to look at you, Mr. Superintendent, pretty straight right now," Fannin said. "The way you get buy-in in this body and in this building is to come to this committee and be forthcoming, forthright, and information about all that you know. Now, I have to tell you that I don't think that's been right today on this case."

text: Aclima is the twin sister of Cain of the Dreaming, and also the sister of the dream creatures Abel, Jumella, and Seth. When Cain and Abel (whether they are the Biblical Cain and Abel or not has never been made clear) came into existence, they were both born with twin sisters. Cain was supposed to marry Abel's twin, Jumella, and Abel Cain's twin, Aclima. However, Jumella and Cain never got along and Cain preferred his own sister. The arguments over this matter what was eventually prompted Cain to murder his brother. Recently, Jumella was freed from imprisonment in Cain's House of Mystery. Mad from the confinement, she started plotting her revenge against Cain, the effects of which eventually broke Cain down and made him leave the Dreaming. The dream-king Daniel later sent out Abel, Jumella, Eve, Gregory, and Goldie to fetch Cain back to his duties. Eventually, they found him residing in the Necropolis Litharge where he was treated like a deity (since he was the first murderer and the Necropolitans worship death). With him was his twin sister Aclima, whom, they revealed, he had just married. Aclima accompanied Cain back to the Dreaming and the two siblings/lovers currently reside in the House of Mystery.

The almost 350-page report extensively outlines ways the Toronto police can best deal with those having an emotional or mental crisis without having to use lethal force. Retired Supreme Court of Canada justice Frank Iacobucci consulted with former police officers and other forces around the world to build the 84 recommendation "Police Encounters with People in Crisis."Some of the recommendations include: • have Toronto Police revise it's Use of Force policy to minimize the use of lethal force and use it as a last resort, stressing the importance of keeping people alive; • start a pilot project that would give Tasers to some front-line officers who would also be equipped with body-cameras; • consider expanding the Mobile Crisis Intervention Teams to have one available per division and if they should be available 24-hours a day. These teams include a uniformed officer and a nurse;• have Toronto Police create a police and mental health oversight body that includes membership from the force and hospitals; • educate officers on available mental health resources; • have officers complete a mandatory mental health first aid course; • recruit new officers with experience with the mental health community as well as demonstrate community-mindedness. Police should include psychologists in the recruitment process; • consider creating a quick-reference checklist for when officers deal with people in crisis; • consider decentralized training which is platoon-specific; • have a 'Mental Health Champion' - one supervisor in each division experienced in these issues; • create incentives and reward officers who properly use de-escalation techniques; • have the force acknowledge and emphasize the importance of psychological wellness among officers; • create an advisory committee on how best to implement these recommendations. These are only recommendations. Police Chief Bill Blair has said it will be used as a blueprint on how the force will move forward.
One recommendation that has already been implemented is the launch of an advisory committee.
"We have taken this recommendation to heart and believe by immediate implementation, we can start the important work if implementing the other recommendations," said Blair.
It's made up of people representing hospitals, community mental health organizations, police and those with lived experience of mental illness.
NEWSTALK 1010 spoke to Steve Lurie, the executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association's Toronto branch. He was named as one of the committee members and said some of the biggest issues will be underfunding and health care information sharing.
Lurie said there has been no initial meeting date planned.The report recommends a follow-up review in five years.

After months of TV teases, promotions and billboards, The X Factor, Simon Cowell's U.K. behemoth of a singing competition, has arrived stateside.
The show will premiere on FOX next Wednesday, Sept. 21 – and if the first two episodes are any indication (PEOPLE got a recent sneak peek), Cowell and his team of judges – Paula Abdul, L.A. Reid and Nicole Scherzinger – are pulling out all the stops.
Here are five things you need to know before the show's premiere.
1. It's like American Idol – only super-sized.
Forget the cozy rooms and intimate auditions. Contestants on X Factor – ages 12 and older, solo or in groups – perform for the first time in front of the judges in a jam-packed auditorium of fans who don't hesitate to hurrah or heckle. How's that for pressure? And once the tryout process is complete, each judge mentors a team of hopefuls to poke and prod them to become the last star (or stars) standing.
2. Paula and Simon are back – and stronger than ever.
In the first hour we see Simon liken themselves to an old married couple. Paula jokingly smacks Simon on the arm. And there's plenty of playful bickering. It's comforting.
3. Welcome Cheryl Cole, er, Nicole Scherzinger.
The first episode features British songstress Cole behind the judges' table – before she was replaced by Scherzinger for episode two. It's a good thing – Cheryl never appears completely comfortable next to the expert bigwigs.
4. There's plenty of drama.
With a $5 million prize at stake, the contestants are hungry – and full of emotion. Witness Marcus collapsing on the floor post-audition, or Chris, a recovering meth and cocaine addict, fresh out of rehab, hoping to support his young son. And the requisite what-the-heck-was-that moments don't disappoint. For instance: an online blogger named Geo drops trou, and a sassy singer named Xander critiques Simon's fashion. "Have you ever worn a shirt that isn't gray?" he has the temerity to inquire.
5. The talent is undeniably powerful.
An 18-year-old student named Melanie delivers a powerful rendition of Beyoncé's "Listen" and brings a teary-eyed Scherzinger to her feet, and, offering possibly the biggest compliment of his career, an awestruck Cowell tells single mom Stacy, 42, "I've done this a long time. That was one of the best auditions I've ever seen in my life."

A Thai voter (left) is strangled by an anti-government protester as he is prevented from entering a polling station, during advance voting in Bangkok yesterday.
BANGKOK: A Thai protest leader was shot dead yesterday as fellow demonstrators besieged polling stations in Bangkok, disrupting advance voting for hundreds of thousands of people before next weekend's controversial general election.
Protesters descended on scores of polling stations in the Thai capital and several southern provinces, stopping ballot officials from entering and prompting election authorities to shut more than 80 venues nationwide.
More than two million people had been registered to vote before the February 2 election, which was called by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra to try to calm rising tensions after weeks of mass anti-government protests.
Around 440,000 of them nationwide were prevented from voting, said Somchai Srisutthiyakorn of the Election Commission, warning that "a similar problem" could afflict next Sunday's poll.
Advance voting is routinely offered for those who cannot cast their ballot on polling day. But yesterday's exercise was seen as a test of the prospects of holding the general election.
As the advance polls closed, a leader of the anti-government rallies was gunned down while he gave a speech from the back of a pick-up truck in the Bangkok suburb of Bang Na.
Nine other people were injured in the shooting, according to the city's Erawan emergency centre, with the violence deepening doubts over whether next weekend's ballot can go ahead.
Protest spokesman Akanat Promphan accused a "pro-government mob" of carrying out the attack which killed Suthin Tharathin — the tenth victim of political violence in nearly three months of street rallies.
Police later said he died when a group of "Red Shirts" — government-supporting activists — from a neighbouring province clashed with protesters. Each side in the bitterly divided kingdom routinely blames the other for the violence, but the incident will renew fears of wider clashes despite the imposition of a state of emergency across Bangkok.
"Forty-five polling stations had to be closed out of 50 in Bangkok," said Surapong Tovichakchaikul, deputy prime minister and one of the main figures at the Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order, which is handling the crisis.
Away from the capital voting went ahead in 66 of the country's 76 provinces, including the ruling party's heartlands in the north and northeast, he said.
Yingluck, who has so far refused to resign or delay the poll, is set to meet election officials tomorrow after the Constitutional Court ruled that the general election could legally be delayed because of the crisis.
While the protest augurs badly for next weekend's election, Yingluck is likely to press on with it regardless, according to Pavin Chachavalpongpun, associate professor at the Centre for Southeast Asian Studies at Japan's Kyoto University.
The demonstrators, who have staged a near two-week "shutdown" of Bangkok to try to derail the vote, have rejected the election. They had insisted they would not obstruct advance voters, although analysts have questioned whether the disruption was tantamount to intimidation of the electorate.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indianapolis got its break, and then the Colts took care of their part, defeating Minnesota 31-10 to complete a remarkable playoff run that seemed doomed just three weeks ago.
Indianapolis will visit Miami next weekend. The Dolphins won the AFC East, while the Colts got the final wild-card berth with their victory and the New York Jets' loss at Baltimore.
The Colts (10-6) did it the old-fashioned way, too - on the backs of their big three.
Peyton Manning matched his career high with four touchdown passes, Edgerrin James rushed for 128 yards to win the NFL rushing title for the second straight year and Marvin Harrison had 12 receptions and his first 100-yard receiving day in eight weeks. Manning led the NFL with 33 touchdown passes, and Harrison won the NFL reception title with 102.
And it wasn't just the Colts offense that was in sync Sunday.
The Indianapolis defense knocked out two of Minnesota's Pro Bowl selections, quarterback Daunte Culpepper and tackle Korey Stringer, in the first half. It limited the Vikings' high-powered offense to just 236 yards, the first time in 32 games Minnesota managed fewer than 300 yards total offense.
But for Minnesota (11-5), the game was meaningless. With losses by both Tampa Bay and New Orleans, the Vikings clinched the NFC Central title and a bye next week before the second quarter began.
But for the Colts, it was a second chance - and they wasted little time in taking advantage of it.
After Minnesota went three-and-out to open the game, Manning led the Colts on a 13-play, 75-yard scoring drive that ended with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Harrison.
Minnesota answered with a 42-yard touchdown pass from Culpepper to Randy Moss, tying the score at 7.
But Indianapolis regained the lead on James' 52-yard touchdown reception.
Following Gary Anderson's 31-yard field goal, Manning hooked up on a 15-yard touchdown pass to Harrison, and the Vikings didn't score again.
Eagles 16, Bengals 7
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia Eagles will be right at home when the playoffs begin, thanks to their superb turnaround and a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Donovan McNabb completed 23 of 40 passes for 198 yards and one touchdown as the Eagles beat the Bengals 16-7 on Sunday. When Green Bay beat Tampa Bay, it assured that next week's wild-card game with the Buccaneeers would be in Philadelphia.
After winning just eight games combined over the last two seasons, the Eagles went 11-5 despite losing star running back Duce Staley in Week 5. It will be Philadelphia's first playoff appearance in four years.
Cincinnati (4-12) completed its 10th straight losing season, and has the NFL's worst record in that span, 47-113. But coach Dick LeBeau, who took over Sept. 25 after Bruce Coslet quit, received a new contract earlier in the week.
Star running back Corey Dillon might not return next year, however. Dillon, who finished with a team-record 1,435 yards rushing, is a free agent. He had 39 yards on 16 carries against the Eagles.
One play after Bobby Taylor recovered a fumble by Danny Farmer, McNabb hit Charles Johnson on a 39-yard TD pass for a 10-0 second-quarter lead . David Akers made it 13-0 on a 45-yard FG with 1:06 left in the first half. He missed a 41-yarder wide right late in the fourth, ending a string of 11 straight successful kicks.
Raiders 52, Panthers 9
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - There was no late-season swoon for the Oakland Raiders, who enter the playoffs as division champions on a roll.
Rich Gannon threw for 230 yards and five touchdowns, and Eric Allen returned an interception 37 yards for a score as the Raiders won their first AFC West title in a decade with a 52-9 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Darrien Gordon's 74-yard fumble return for a score on the game's final play allowed Oakland to tie the 1963 franchise record for points in a game.
Tight ends Rickey Dudley and Jeremy Brigham caught two TD passes apiece as the Raiders (12-4), who had already clinched their first playoff berth since 1993, won the division for the first time since 1990 and earned a playoff bye with their largest victory margin of the season.
Coach Jon Gruden's first two Oakland teams started strong and slumped late before finishing 8-8. This year's Raiders lost twice in December, but two blowout home victories have put Oakland in good shape heading to the postseason.
Gordon returned Brad Hoover's fumble 74 yards on the game's final play. The officials had to clear both teams off the field to allow Sebastian Janikowski to kick the extra point.
The Raiders doused Gruden with Gatorade with 45 seconds left. Afterward, he ran to the west end zone and exchanged high-fives with fans in the Black Hole section.
Because of wins this weekend by Denver and Miami, the Raiders needed a victory over Carolina to clinch a first-round bye. Mission accomplished: Oakland, which went 7-1 at the Coliseum this season and has a six-game home winning streak, will play host to a playoff game on Jan. 6 or 7.
The Raiders used an efficient ball-control offense and timely defense to roll over the Panthers (7-9). Tim Brown scored his team-leading 11th TD of the season, and Gannon, who was 26-of-32 and sat out the fourth quarter, made five scoring throws - one short of the franchise record held by Tom Flores and Daryle Lamonica.
Falcons 29, Chiefs 13
ATLANTA (AP) - After a dismal year, the Atlanta Falcons headed into the offseason feeling a little better about themselves.
Chris Chandler, starting again after a two-game exile to the bench, threw two touchdown passes, and Morten Andersen kicked five field goals Sunday as the Falcons defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 29-13.
The Atlanta defense held the Chiefs to 259 yards and sacked Elvis Grbac four times. Marty Carter sealed the victory by blindsiding Grbac on a blitz, forcing a fumble that Darrick Vaughn recovered at the Kansas City 8 with 7:45 remaining.
Chandler followed with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Brian Kozlowski for a 26-7 lead, ending a six-game losing streak and avoiding the third 13-loss season in the franchise's sorry history.
Of course, Atlanta (4-12) probably hurt its draft position by winning, making the rebuilding job a little tougher.
Kansas City (7-9), which had nine straight winning seasons from 1989-97, also has some work to do. Considered a playoff contender, the Chiefs had their second losing mark in the last three years.
Chandler was demoted to third team after a 41-14 loss to Oakland on Nov. 26. But he handled the demotion well and was back in the lineup for the finale, completing 20-of-29 for 163 yards.
Chandler threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Shawn Jefferson on Atlanta's opening possession. The drive was extended when the Chiefs were called for holding, wiping out their block of Andersen's first field goal attempt.
The Atlanta kicker was perfect the rest of the way, hitting from 24, 48, 42, 23 and 36 yards to tie his career best. Eight times, he had kicked five field goals in a game, including this year's opener.
One bright spot for Kansas City: Tony Gonzalez became the third tight end in NFL history to have 90 receptions in a season when he caught a 21-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter.
Gonzalez faked a block at the line, slipped to the other side of the field to catch a pass from Grbac, then rambled through several defenders to reach the end zone.
Gonzalez joined Ben Coates and Todd Christensen as the only tight ends with 90 receptions in a season. Coates had 96 with New England in 1994, while Christensen caught 95 passes for the Los Angeles Raiders in 1986.
Gonzalez had six catches for 86 yards, finishing the season with 94.
In addition to their offensive woes, the Chiefs gave Atlanta three more points by jumping offsides before Donnie Edwards made a third-quarter interception. The Falcons took advantage for yet another field goal by Andersen.
Jamal Anderson was livid at his offensive line in the first half, bouncing his helmet off the turf and knocking over a table of drinks following a botched play. But Anderson came back to rush for 107 yards, giving the former All-Pro 1,024 in his largely frustrating comeback season from a knee injury.
Chiefs backup quarterback Warren Moon, finishing a 23-year pro career, was recognized late in the first half. He received a standing ovation from the Georgia Dome crowd, announced at 41,017, but appearing no larger than 25,000 for the meaningless Christmas Eve game.

apprehensive because I have been building this version of Ubuntu up
slowly and wouldn't want to erase it in my attempt. If it is an option I
may try it if this is not an option then for sure I won't.

Ubuntu is extremely friendly to doing this, actually, updates in

while and had a good luck with it. If some machines are not up, the
same thing can be safey re-run again, the machines that already have
wantedpackage will do nothing.

The Dorchester County Sheriffs Office honored several of its own with a special luncheon and awards ceremony Tuesday at Wescott Plantation.
The Fourth Annual Honor Guard Award Luncheon recognizes officers and employees who set especially strong leadership examples for the department and for the community, Sheriff L.C. Knight said.
Sgt. Adam Sutton served as emcee, introducing guests and reading the citations for the honorees. Awards included the Drug Bust Award, Honor Guard Leadership Award, DCSO Unit Award, Honor Guard Service Awards, and DCSO Reserve Award.
Two K-9 Officers, DCSO Sgt. Justin Eaches and Charleston County Master Deputy Mason Ashby and their dogs, Rony and Ivar, received the Drug Bust Award for an incident that occurred April 14, 2014. The two officers were working traffic enforcement on I-95 when they saw a vehicle following another vehicle too closely. They made a traffic stop, received verbal consent to search the vehicle, and subsequently found two false compartments within the vehicle that contained $1,088,500 in cash, Sutton said.
Cassandra Cooner was this years recipient of the Honor Guard Leadership Award. Sutton praised Cooners dedicated service and leadership since joining the department in 2009.
For enthusiasm, untiring energy and can-do attitude in going above and beyond the call of duty you have become the model of a leader that everyone should emulate, Sutton said. For not only being a self-motivator but also being able to motivate others in the performance of their duties, for having the highest work ethic that is beyond reproach, her contributions are in keeping with the highest traditions in the law enforcement community and reflect great credit upon herself, the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office, and Dorchester County.
Knight presented the DCSO Reserve Award to Pvt. Frank Harris, a reserve deputy.
You have given more than 2,000 hours of your time to professionally represent the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office and serve this community, Sutton said. You have displayed the highest devotion to duty.
Knight presented the DCSO Unit Award to the DCSO Honor Guard Unit, headed by Lt. Robert Biddle. The unit has volunteered more than 2,200 hours in performing functions such as funerals, parades, and presenting colors at public events since the units formation in 2009.
Knight also presented Honor Guard Service Awards to the ten officers who serve with the unit. The recipients included Biddle, Sgt. Joli Tumbleston, Sgt. Adam Sutton, Sgt. Keith Hunt, Cpl. Jason Jones, Cpl. Lewis Judy, Cpl. Daniel Brown, Cpl. Corey Anderson, PFC James DeLong, and PFC Robert Hewitt.
This is a special unit, Knight noted. They put in countless hours, in addition to their regular duties. They are a good example for the Dorchester County Sheriffs Office and we greatly appreciate what they do.
Biddle noted that the luncheon and the award are not only a positive morale booster for the officers, but the entire event did not cost the taxpayers any money but was provided entirely by donations. Biddle thanked the sponsors, which included Blue Knights International, The Golf Club at Wescott Plantation, and Billy Colucci of Digital Jewelry.

Shopping for our elderly loved ones is not as hard as some of us may think, according to senior citizens at a local nursing home.
Knowing what to give senior citizens and soon-to-be seniors in Lycoming County can be an easy task and require little or no money.
"I cherish when somebody has spent time and effort to show their love. Not that they've spent a lot of money but if they've done something, such as a chore or a gift of their time," said Peggy Redka, 59.

Visits to elderly relatives is appreciated the most, according to senior citizens from the Williamsport Home, along Ravine Road.
Anything involving love and family is much appreciated, such as "casseroles, homemade food or fruit, or a trip to the hair salon," said Bette Folmar, 72.
One gift family members can give to their loved ones is to "offer rides and take us to doctor appointments," said Ervene Vitacolanna, 70.
"Cameras would be terrific, so you can take pictures of family and scenery," Muriel Hilkert, 82, said. "And a certificate to a grocery store."
Traveling is a treat for anyone, but considering one's physical condition is vital.
For example, Bob Folmar, 78, and his wife, Bette, received a vacation through the Rocky Mountains by train from their children for their 50th wedding anniversary.
Elsie Step, 85, however, does not have the physical endurance for such trips.
"Sometimes we aren't physically able to travel. It's too long of a day," Step said. "Some of us enjoy concerts. I like to go to the concerts at the Scottish Rite."
"Tickets to movies and going to the Community Arts Center are good gifts," Vitacolanna said. "They have an arts show coming up."
With limited space in nursing homes and depending on what you want to buy, Bette advised people to consider "the differences between people living outside and living inside (nursing homes)."
"Subscriptions to magazines or newspapers are good," Bette said.
Not only is considering a person's living space vital, but knowing how many people they live also with is necessary.
"One of the things to see is when someone gives a bouquet of flowers and candy and they can share. It's good for someone who lives alone," Bob said.
For people who are about to become senior citizens, "trips to the hospital or to the Lycoming County Office of Aging is a good gift," said Elsie Bross, 87, because "most of the people who are going to be senior citizens don't know what is available."
Many seniors agree that clothing is not a good gift.
"Clothes are usually the wrong color and size," Bette said.
"When I get a sweater, it's usually too shaggy," Bob said. "You can't turn around, and say 'why did you get me that?' because you know they put a lot of time in it. You can't say no," Bob said.
Two things to know when thinking about gift ideas for the elderly, according to the Williamsport Home seniors, are "health and weather."
"For example, if someone is blind, you can't give them a book," Bob and Bette said. "And if someone is in a wheelchair or the weather is bad, you can't travel as well."
According to Vitacolanna, some popular magazine subscriptions that seniors might enjoy are the Good Old Days and National Geographic.
All of the seniors recently interviewed at the Williamsport Home agree that family is No. 1, and that just having more visits is the best gift of all.

Hey guys,
Do you have any recipes that you can share?

Hey guys,
Do you have any recipes that you can share?
Are you looking to cure and smoke a leg of pork into a ham? If you want to cook purchased ham, what sort have you purchased?
I got from my local farm where I get all my grass fed meat. It just says smoked pork ham. It looks like the ones you eat for thanksgiving but no bones and much smaller. I actually don't even know if I'm supposed to cook this or I eat the way it is now. I know when my mother makes this kind of ham she cooks it with orange juice, vinegar, sugar and cloves.
I thought that maybe there are other ways to cook it without putting sugar.

American diplomats anticipated Climategate hacks [1]
Richard Littlemore [2] | December 13, 2010
By Richard Littlemore [2] • Monday, December 13, 2010 - 08:09
Update: This story was reported earlier, in greater depth (and in English!) by the [3]Guardian [3]. Thanks to Damian Carrington.
Material that the French newspaper Le Monde [4]has harvested from Wikileaks documents show that American diplomats were aware as early as the summer of 2009 that hackers were trying to break into climate scientists' computers, Carrie La Seur of the Plains Justice environmental law center reports on her blog. [5]
La Seur reports: "An article posted Dec. 12, titled Pirates informatiques contre climatologues [6] (Computer pirates against climatologists), reveals a few American diplomats' fears that cyberattacks on climate scientists might increase in the days leading up to the 2009 Copenhagen meeting. One email reveals an unsuccessful attack against the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Oceans, Environment and Science [7] (OES) that has received very little coverage (none that I can find) in domestic press."

I recently created a 10.2.0.2 database on an Itanium server. I then exported schemas from an 220.127.116.11 database into this database. Not whenever I try to do an export, I get the below error and Export stop unsuccessfully:
Exp-00056-Oracle error 932 encountered
Ora-00932: inconsistent datatypes; expected Blob, Clob got char
I looked at Metalink. It suggested several things:
1. Create the database again with the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS= BYTE (The database was created in byte)
2. Change NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to CHAR. I did this with no effect. However, I did not shut the database
down. I did not see any instructions to do this.
3. Deinstall and Reinstall XDB using Catnoqm.sql and Catqm.sql. This was also done with no effect.
Anyone have any thoughts before I write an SR.
