A word from Kokkari Estiatorio
Kokkari (pronounced "Ko-Kar-ee") is a small fishing village located on the islands of Samos in the Aegean Sea, whose name is derived from the small onions that were once produced in the nearby fields. Its fertile soil and Mediterranean climate translated into an abundance of fresh produce as well as treasured seafood and game. Legend tells that Kokkari is the site where Orion, a mighty hunter and a young man of gigantic stature and great beauty, fell in love with the daughter of the king of Chios. For the love of her, Orion forged the island for wild game and seafood to prepare elaborate banquets in celebration of their love. Today, we hope you will enjoy your own celebration as you dine at Kokkari Estiatorio on food "fit for the Gods" prepared with an Aegean palate and the style of innovative California fare.Continued

- Met all expectationsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014Dinner, service and drinks were all excellent. The rotisserie lamb was amazing, as was the flourless chocolate cake. One of the best Old Fashions I've had in the city, too.Special Features:
- Tourist trap?OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/21/2014The food here is not very different than what one can fine at a decent Greek diner. Overcooked lamb, reasonable chicken, soggy vegetables reminiscent of the school cafeteria. Seemed packed, though.
- Makes an Anniversary SpecialdiningdivaDined on 8/20/2014Only Kokkari is special enough for a forty-eights wedding anniversary. From great service, knowledgeable wine advice, the best octopus appetizers, bronzini fish special, and Greek dessert, it was a memorable evening. Even a nod from our fabulous exmayor and current best spokesperson for San Francisco, Willy Brown. Evidently everyone knows Kokkari is special.Special Features:
- Excellent fish!TomGDined on 8/20/2014Had the branzino - perfectly prepared; waitress quite knowledgeable about both the food and wine listSpecial Features:
- Thought the food was just averageISYHVIPDined on 8/20/2014Came with a party of 4 for lunch, we each paid $75 for salad, lunch and a drink. A bit over my budget and I thought food was just average....Special Features:
- Impeccable service!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/17/2014Came here with my wife and young son while visiting from Los Angeles. The food was great and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Best of all though was the spectacular service we had! Doug, Brit, Jeff and several others were so friendly to us and our son that we felt as if we were family. It was by far the best, most impressive service we have ever encountered. We will be eating here any time we're in the city.I would recommend this to a friend.
- fantastic dining experience!SoniaDined on 8/16/2014I'm glad that I made reservations at Kokkari for our anniversary dinner. Although we weren't seated in the main dining room with the plush full-back chairs & fireplace, I was still impressed with the rustic charm that was present in the back dining area. Our waiter was very knowledgeable & provided excellent service throughout the meal. We brought our own wine to dinner and it accompanied the meal very well. I will say that the portions sizes are very generous, so you could easily share an entree if you wanted to. My husband ordered the lamb chops which were fine except just a tad chewy. I ordered the famous braised lamb shank, and while delicious, I had to give up on the dish after about 10 bites - it was just too filling! Order lightly :)Special Features:
- HeatherVIPDined on 8/15/2014I wanted to try this restaurant based on all the excellent reviews I read prior to going to San Francisco for vacation. It truly lived up, and I would recommmend to others and will return when I get back to SF!Special Features:
- fantastic food and serviceAlbinaDined on 8/14/2014We ordered 4 appetizers to share between 2 people and this was more than enough food for us given that the portions were quite generous for appetizers. The service was very nice and the ambiance of the restaurants was also quite lovely. Each dish was skillfully prepared and had a wonderful taste. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at this restaurant. It was one of the best meals we had on our trip to San Francisco/Sonoma/Napa.Special Features:
- One of my favorite restaurantsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/12/2014Kokkari is one of my favorite restaurnts and probably the restuarnts I have gone to the most in SF. It's wonderful for any occasion, romantic dinners, birthday dinners, group dinners, work events. The food is amazing, you wont go wrongSpecial Features:
- KokkariLoveGreatFoodandServiceDined on 8/12/2014My second visit to Kokkari was just as good as my first. Kokkari is a neighborhood gem. I first decided to go to Kokkari because it was highly recommended by a grad school classmate who was renting an apartment in the area. Although my first visit was drastically different because it was a business lunch, and the second visit was a special birthday celebration, the staff was very accommodating and the food rustic and fresh as usual. I would recommend Kokkari for its ability to please its diners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectionOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/11/2014My wife and I went here for my birthday and I can honestly say that this is one of the best restaurant that we have been to. The service was great and the server was very informative about the menu items. The food was absolutely life changing. I won't go through every dish we had, but I will give you all one tip: Save room for the ice cream sundae dessert!! It's enough for 2 and it's great. They make the ice cream in-house, so you can definitely made freshness. Trust me, you'll thank me for it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 40th birthday in San Francisco!ChantalDined on 8/10/2014Excellent dining experience with an outstanding service...our waiter, nice, charming, funny and not pretentious gave us many great options and a excellent wine choice. Definitely, one of the best Greek restaurant in San Francisco and elsewhere! Would love to have this restaurant here in Montréal!Special Features:
- Great service, mouthwatering food.audreymayDined on 8/10/2014I personally enjoyed all of the food we ordered. Great service was given. Saghanaki with the pepper really goes well. Baklava is as outstanding as ever. Chicken and lamb was amazing..Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PatronDined on 8/10/2014It is not our first time at this place. We celebrated my Birthday there. Accommodation was outstanding. Our table was in the corner of the room close to the window. Our waitress provided an excellent service with attention to details. Food was good and fresh. Good selection of wine. Everyone had a good time.Special Features:
- ScrumptiousSandeDined on 8/9/2014Best way to start a trip to San Francisco. From our bartender, Josh, to the servers. Simply outstanding. Then the menu - wonderful Greek choices, creative special starters and the lamb oh yes and the bread. Oh, my!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- justbeinghonestDined on 8/8/2014food is just OK, it is hard to pay attention to details when you've 500+ people in your dining room. it's a factory.
- Fantastic dining experiencekr1234Dined on 8/8/2014A friend and I went for dinner here and it was awesome. The food and ambiance were great but best of all was our server, Jeff. He was friendly, accommodating and willing to answer many questions we have including travel recommendations to Greece. Jeff made the great experience even better.I would recommend this to a friend.
- My New FavoriteZismanDined on 8/8/2014I was introduced to this place a couple of weeks ago, when I went for a birthday celebration. I immediately made another reservation for the week after and the food and experience was just as good, if not better. We ordered the octopus and the lamb riblets, the artichoke skewers and the lamb meatballs. There was just two of us, so that was actually enough for dinner. It was all perfection and delicious. I wanted to order more but my tummy was full. The wines were outstanding. I stayed away from greek wines, as I am not familiar, but this would be the place to test new wines, so I will next time. The pro of going with a big group is you try more food (family style) and you are not stuffed. I will have to bring more people next time.Special Features:
- Always good and worth the effort.MunchingMarkVIPDined on 8/7/2014Great restaurant and never disappoints. Appetizers, salads and desserts always perfect. Tried the rotisserie last time and was a bit disappointed. Any fish is always excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Lunch!ljwmdphdVIPDined on 8/7/2014We were in San Francisco for 2 days and were lucky enough to have thought of dining here. The whole dining experience was wonderful, from service to food. We definitely will return!Special Features:
- Always my favoriteLuvfinefoodDined on 8/6/2014This restaurant experience never disappoints. Impeccable service, outstanding food and great energy at bar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, excellent servicefoodsnobDined on 8/6/2014We had a great time at Kokkari on Wednesday. The host needed to make room for a larger party and asked us if we could move to another table which we didn't mind. After wonderful dinner and excellent wine, they brought us a check with practically half of the bill taken off. It was a very considerate and thoughtful gesture for something that wasn't a problem to begin with. I will definitely go back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PhenomenalOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 8/5/2014The food was outstanding. I had an artichoke and eggplant souvlaki. The plate was beautiful and artfully arranged. I also had a small zucchini cake appetizer that was just as good. The ambiance was excellent. What a beautiful place. I went for lunch and it was packed with financial types - men in suits and ties and women in heels. I wasn't in either but felt dressed OK (not in jeans and t-shirt, though). Service was superb. I will return.Special Features:
- Great experienceAlexVDined on 8/4/2014Great food (lamb was amazing), great service, nice dining room. Only complain relates to the noise in the roomSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food!TinTinDined on 8/4/2014My fiancé and I kept hearing really great things about Kokkari from people we knew and we always pass by it and it's always packed. We finally decided to eat there for my birthday and it definitely lived up to it's high standards. We ordered about 4 appetizers to share and they were all delicious. We really enjoyed the lamb meatballs and the beet salad appetizer. For our entrees we ordered the lamb shank and the lamp chop. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious. Our server and the rest of the wait staff were on top of it and made sure everything was okay. Definitely will go back here to eat and try the rest of their menu. It's moved up to be now one of my favorite restaurants here in SF.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2000Dined on 8/4/2014Kokkari has perfected the art of fine dining in a fun and energetic setting! The staff is so professional and well trained, yet still warm and friendly. Philippo was our waiter and he served our table perfectly. The food is authentic Greek and well prepared. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions of food. Definitely one of our favorites!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great consistencyOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/4/2014I was impressed when i visited the 1st time back in 2009, and still impressed when i came back this month! Great job Kokkari!Special Features:
- Outstanding food!RosalindDined on 8/3/2014The food was incredible, very fresh. We had fresh roasted lamb on a spit and whole grilled fish. Highly recommendedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beyond Ambience and ExcellenceNYNativeDined on 8/3/2014Kokkari restaurant is a city gem for locals and visitors alike. There are no words to describe the high quality of food, service, and ambience. A must do for San Francisco.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never disappointsSFeaterDined on 8/3/2014Everything is done to perfection at Kokkari. They don't let anything slip. Nothing is substandard. I try to focus on the appetizers because there are so many incredible ones from which to choose. The lamb souzoukakia (meatballs) were phenomenal this last time--as was the watermelon/feta salad. The taramosalata dip is a must have as well. It's served with delicious pita bread. You can't go wrong with any of the entrees but a lamb dish is almost a must. Their chops are #1 but so are the souvlaki dishes. And last, the desserts at Kokkari are to die for. While the Kokkari sundae is my old standby (irresistible), the authentic Greek desserts are all wonderful as well. One of my favorite restaurants!Special Features:
- Greek food to cuisine statusBruceCTDined on 8/2/2014Food was excellent Service was professional which is so rare. It is number 1 in SF for a reason.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fantastic food, service, settingseattledinerDined on 8/2/2014My 18 year-old daughter and I recently enjoyed a dinner at Kokkari on a Saturday night. Book early, as booking 27 days in advance (rather than 30) yielded 5 pm and 9:30 pm as the only options. Service was outstanding, as was the meal. Was surprised -pleasantly - at the families who brought relatively young children, and how well they were welcomed and accommodated by the staff. Wonderful experience overall - do not miss the lamp chops and the daily rotisserie (pork), both were perfectly seasoned and served.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing meal and staffLongviewDined on 8/1/2014Took our friends from Washington DC out to dinner. Impeccable service, the waiter was attentive, informative, and genuinely interested in making our experience marvelous. Then the food--shared appetizers were great--the watermelon and feta was our favorite at the table. Peaches with figs were stupendous. Zucchini cakes with cucumber mint yogurt dressing too. For my entree I had the duck--roasted in the open fireplace. I was so into the duck I paid no attention to my wife or friend's main dishes. Everyone was so happy at the end of the meal that we went out to a nightclub after to keep the evening going.Special Features:
- Very special Lunch51foodieDined on 8/1/2014Dined on a Friday afternoon with work friends. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Starters were fantastic, especially octopus, fried cheese, lamb riblet and smelts. Our group also enjoyed their entrees. Delicious ravioli dish was a hit as was the grilled octopus salad. We enjoyed a lovely Greek white wine from Santorini and several desserts, including the amazing baklava with ice cream! Service was spot on from the warm greeting when we entered through the entire meal. Consistent Excellence!Special Features:
- Even better than the hype.headDined on 7/31/2014I expected a lot when I got here because everything I had heard was stellar, and I had rationalized that young techies might have reviewed and maybe they didn't know crap. I was wrong. From constant calls I had made to try and get in early to the over accommodating bus boy the service was tremendous. I had forgotten my reading glasses. They had a choice of 30 for me to use that were shown to me by the extremely professional waiter. The wine list matched the excellence of the food. The octopus was great and a must. The salad was creative, my lamb shank was out of this work and my wife loved the king salmon. The $200. Tab incl. Tip was well worth it. The bottle of wine (Saldo Zinfandel) was tremendous!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Zoy end busy week with a win
2:00pm Wednesday 30th April 2014 in Sport
Somerset County League Division One
Middlezoy Rovers 2, Burnham United 1
MIDDLEZOY'S fourth game in a week ended in victory thanks to a last-minute winner from Steve Hall.
Hall was on hand to stroke home with the final kick of the game as Zoy came from behind to snatch the win in this local derby.
Playing against the wind, Zoy started the brighter, but fell behind on 17 minutes when a midfield mistake was punished by Burnham striker Matthew Scott, who raced through to slot home.
Unfortunately for the visitors, the lively Scott was taken off minutes later after a clash of heads with one of his own players.
Despite a strong wind, Zoy passed well and were unlucky to be behind at the break with Dan Luce and Andy Smith wasting great opportunities.
After the break and with the wind, Zoy continued to dominate, but were unable to find a breakthrough until the 73rd minute when captain Darren Cann latched on to a Craig Berry ball to rifle home the equaliser.
More glorious chances were wasted by the home side, who were a constant threat with Burnham unable to get out of their own half.
A long range effort from Steve Hall appeared to cross the line, but the referee was unable to award the goal, and Cann had another effort tipped over the bar from close range.
Despite terrific defending from the visitors, the winner came in the final seconds when Paul Atyeo was sent through on goal.
His effort rebounded off Elliot Lamb in the Burnham goal and into the path of Hall, who was on hand to stroke home the winner with the final kick of the game.
Star man: Steve Hall (Middlezoy Rovers) Team: Baker, Lintell, Brown, Cann, Hall, Bone,Jennings (Berry), Smith, Luce, Atyeo, Temlett (Whaites)

"Romanticism is precisely situated neither in choice of subject nor in exact truth, but in a way of feeling." -- Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)
Right there, courtesy of Baudelaire, you have the first and largest problem with Romanticism: it is nearly impossible to concisely define what it was. When we talk about Romanticism the Movement, we aren't using the root word "romance" in the sense of hearts and flowers or infatuation. Instead, we use "romance" in the sense of glorification.
Romantic visual and literary artists glorified things ... which takes us to thorny problem number two: the "things" they glorified were hardly ever physical. They glorified huge, complex concepts such as liberty, survival, ideals, hope, awe, heroism, despair, and the various sensations that nature evokes in humans. All of these are felt -- and felt on an individual, highly subjective level.
Aside from promoting intangible ideas, Romanticism may also be loosely defined by what it stood against. The movement championed spiritualism over science, instinct over deliberation, nature over industry, democracy over subjugation, and the rusticity over the aristocracy. Again, these are all concepts open to extremely personalized interpretation.
As you can see, definitively defining Romanticism is a lot like trying to climb a greased pole. Please don't fixate on it; it will only give you a headache. Besides, none of the greatest art historians have been able to come up with a satisfactory, succinct response. Simply keep the word "glorification" in mind as we go over the rest of this article, and things will sort themselves out.
How Long Was the Movement?
Keep in mind that Romanticism affected literature and music, as well as visual art. The German Sturm und Drang movement (late 1760s-early 1780s) was predominantly revenge-driven literary and minor-key musical, but led to a handful of visual artists painting terrifying scenes. For a good example, look up Henry Fuseli's The Nightmare (1781).
Romantic art truly got underway at the turn of the century, and had its greatest number of practitioners for the next 40 years. If you are taking notes, that is an 1800-1840 heyday.
As with any other movement, though, there were artists who were young when Romanticism was old. Some of them stuck with the movement until their respective ends, while others retained aspects of Romanticism as they moved in new directions. It is not really too much of a stretch to say 1800-1880 and cover all of the hold-outs like Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873). After that point Romantic painting was definitely stone cold dead, even though the movement brought about lasting changes going forward.
What Are the Key Characteristics of Romanticism?
Emotional Emphasis
The paintings of the Romantic period were emotional powder kegs. Artists expressed as much feeling and passion as could be loaded on to a canvas. A landscape had to evoke a mood, a crowd scene had to show expressions on every face, an animal painting had to depict some, preferably majestic, trait of that animal. Even portraits were not totally straightforward representations -- the sitter would be given eyes meant to be mirrors of the soul, a smile, a grimace, or a certain tilt of the head. With little touches, the artist could portray his subject surrounded by an atmosphere of innocence, madness, virtue, loneliness, altruism or greed.
Nature Can Kill You
If there is one prevalent theme to Romanticism, it is this: nature can change direction without warning, and we puny mortals are no match for it. You will find many, many examples of shipwrecks in Romantic paintings, for example. Shipwrecks, historically speaking, have always had high mortality rates. If you didn't drown, you stood a good chance of dying slowly of dehydration and starvation.
Likewise, Romantic art had more than its fair share of blizzards, fires, thunderstorms, lightning strikes, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, and biblical disasters. About the only natural disaster Romanticism did not try to portray was an asteroid strike. And that is probably only because no one in the early 19th-century had yet discovered the geological evidence of impact events.
Current Events
In addition to the emotionally-charged feelings one got from looking at Romantic paintings, contemporary viewers were usually quite knowledgeable of the story behind the subject matter. Why? Because the artists frequently took their inspiration from current events. For example, when Théodore Géricault unveiled his gigantic masterpiece The Raft of the Medusa (1818-19), the French public was already well acquainted with the gory details following the 1816 shipwreck of the naval frigate Méduse. Similarly, Eugène Delacroix painted Liberty Leading the People (1830) fully aware that every adult in France was already familiar with the July Revolution of 1830.
Of course, not every Romantic work related to current events. For those that did, however, the benefits were a receptive, informed viewership, and increased name recognition for their creators.
Lack of Unifying Style, Technique, or Subject Matter
Romanticism wasn't like Rococo art, in which fashionable, attractive people engaged in fashionable, attractive pastimes while courtly love lurked around every corner -- and all of these goings-on were captured in a light-hearted, whimsical style. Instead, Romanticism included William Blake's disquieting apparition The Ghost of a Flea (1819-20), sitting in close chronological proximity to John Constable's comfortably rural landscape The Hay Wain (1821). Pick a mood, any mood, and there was some Romantic artist that conveyed it on canvas.
Romanticism wasn't like Impressionism, where everyone concentrated on painting the effects of light using loose brushwork. Romantic art ranged from the smooth-as-glass, highly-detailed, monumental canvas Death of Sardanapalus (1827) by Eugène Delacroix, to J. M. W. Turner's indistinct watercolor washes in The Lake of Zug (1843), and everything in between. Technique was all over the map; execution was completely up to the artist.
Romanticism wasn't like Dada, whose artists were making specific statements about WWI and/or the pretentious absurdities of the Art World. Romantic artists were apt to make statements about anything (or nothing), dependent on how an individual artist felt about any given topic on any given day. Francisco de Goya's work explored madness and oppression, while Caspar David Friedrich found endless inspiration in moonlight and fog. The will of the Romantic artist had the final say on subject matter.
Influences of Romanticism
The most direct influence of Romanticism was Neoclassicism, but there is a twist to this. Romanticism was a type of reaction to Neoclassicism, in that Romantic artists found the rational, mathematical, reasoned elements of "classical" art (i.e.: the art of Ancient Greece and Rome, by way of the Renaissance) too confining. Not that they didn't borrow heavily from it when it came to things like perspective, proportions, and symmetry. No, the Romantics kept those parts. It was just that they ventured beyond the prevailing Neoclassic sense of calm rationalism to inject a heaping helping of drama.
Movements Romanticism Influenced
The best example is the American Hudson River School, which got underway in the 1850s. Founder Thomas Cole, Asher Durand, Frederic Edwin Church, et. al., were directly influenced by European Romantic landscapes. Luminism, an offshoot of the Hudson River School, also focused on Romantic landscapes.
The Düsseldorf School, which concentrated on imaginative and allegorical landscapes, was a direct descendant of German Romanticism.
Certain Romantic artists made innovations that later movements incorporated as crucial elements. John Constable (1776-1837) had a tendency to use tiny brushstrokes of pure pigments to emphasize dappled light in his landscapes. He discovered that, when viewed from a distance, his dots of color merged. This development was taken up with great enthusiasm by the Barbizon School, the Impressionists, and the Pointillists.
Constable and, to a much greater degree, J. M. W. Turner often produced studies and finished works that were abstract art in everything but name. They heavily influenced the first practitioners of modern art beginning with Impressionism -- which in turn influenced nearly every modernist movement that followed it.

D.C. police say neighbors on 44th Street, NE heard a single gunshot around 11:40,Thursday night. Detectives believe 31-year old Olu Williams was hit by a shotgun blast. He was transported to a local hospital, but died from the trauma.
A source familiar with the investigation believes Williams was shot in the middle of the street, but managed to make his way to the front of the garden apartment building where he lived before collapsing.
Olu Williams had just finished his coursework at Catholic University; he would have received his bachelor's degree in business at graduation this spring. Williams was a slightly older-than-usual undergraduate because he was working full time to pay for his education. In fact, when Williams was gunned-down he was walking home from the Deanwood Metro station, after finishing his shift at a shoe store at Dupont Circle.
His mother, and other family members, are devastated. "I just don't understand what could possibly have been the motivation for anyone for anyone attacking him," lamented Ife Chambers, the mother of the victim. "He just was a really nice, quiet guy… no strife or disagreement with anyone and certainly not in his neighborhood."
Olu Williams was a good student at Catholic University, according to his family, and according to his minister, whom he recently met with to talk about attending law school. "He was generous, kind and loving, committed to his family, and committed to his church family," said the Rev. Alethea Smith-Withers of the Pavilion of God (Baptist) Church. "The pictures of him on Facebook, he was serving, giving out food on Thanksgiving with our congregation to those who needed meals."
"He was generous, kind and loving, committed to his family, and committed to his church family. The pictures of him on Facebook, he was serving, giving out food on Thanksgiving with our congregation to those who needed meals."
The motive in this killing may have been robbery. It is believed police to have not found any witnesses to the killing. The department is offering a $25,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction of whoever gunned-down Olu Williams in Deanwood, late Thursday night.

Heinrich opened his remarks with a story of a young woman who was successful in both areas while he was president at Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa.
The student, whom he called Jamie, was born to parents who were illiterate, had substance abuse problems and died early in her life.
Determined to better herself, Jamie enrolled in Shelton State's Adult Education program. After acquiring her GED, she took advantage of a scholarship offered to graduates of the program and enrolled in a welding class.
Her salary at her first job after obtaining her welding certification was $50,000 a year. Within three years, she was making more than $100,000.
"These are the kinds of students that we work with on a regular basis. I have found that if you give that student an opportunity, they are incredibly grateful but also incredibly successful," Heinrich said.
Heinrich was in Jasper on Tuesday to attend a press conference about new dual enrollment legislation that will provide more scholarship for high school students who are interested in technical careers such as welding, drafting design and automotive technology.
Heinrich said the state has more openings in these fields than workers who are qualified to fill them.
For example, one employer recently informed him that 800 welders were needed on the Gulf Coast as quicky as possible.
Heinrich said he also receives many requests for workers skilled in industrial maintenance, adding that he would not have any difficulty placing 2,000 students in such jobs.
"The fact of the matter is that there are jobs everywhere. What we need to do is educate individuals about where those jobs lie," he said.
Heinrich also acknowledged that one hurdle to attracting high school students to technical fields is a cultural bias toward academic degrees.
"When you talk to most parents, they will say, 'I want my son or daughter to go to college. I don't want them to go to technical school.' They don't understand that they're both college. It's just a little different route, and by the way, you can make a great salary," Heinrich said.
Heinrich also stressed the importance of reaching out to the nearly 500,000 working age adults in Alabama who do not have a high school diploma.
Another 800,000 adult workers who are high school graduates would qualify for the Adult Education program if they were tested, according to Heinrich.
"We absolutely have to capture that population. That is going to be the future of our workforce. That's a rich part of what we are doing," Heinrich said.

The stakes for Wednesday night''s first Australian Open 2012 semifinal match are simple: Clijsters is aiming for her fifth slam title, and her fourth in the last seven slams in which she has actually competed. She is still perhaps the best women's player in the game when healthy, but she is rarely actually healthy. Meanwhile, a win would not only advance Azarenka to her first slam final (this is her second semi-final after Wimbledon 2011), but bring her within one win of the No. 1 ranking.
The scenarios, as I understand them:
- Azarenka wins the Australian Open: Azarenka is No. 1.
- Maria Sharapova wins the Australian Open: Sharapova is No. 1.
- Petra Kvitova wins the Australian Open: Kvitova is No. 1.
- Clijsters wins the Australian Open: the Sharapova-Kvitova winner is No. 1.
In terms of both stakes and the head-to-head series it is all-or-nothing for Azarenka. She has played Clijsters six times, and the matches have rarely been close.
Match No. 1: Toronto 2009 Round of 32: Clijsters wins, 7-5, 4-6, 6-1.
Match No. 2: Miami 2010 Round of 16: Clijsters wins, 6-4, 6-0.
Match No. 3: Eastbourne 2010 Quarterfinals: Azarenka wins, 7-6, 6-4.
Match No. 4: Tour Championships 2010 Quarterfinals: Clijsters wins, 6-4, 5-7, 6-1.
Match No. 5: Sydney 2011 Quarterfinals: Clijsters wins, 6-3, 6-2.
Match No. 6: Miami 2011 Quarterfinals: Azarenka wins, 6-3, 6-3.
None of the last five sets have been as close as even 6-4, and the combatants have split the last four meetings overall. This is going to be a physical, bruising contest, and typically a slight advantage turns into a big advantage pretty quickly.
Three questions for this semifinal:
1. How much does Clijsters have in the tank?
She turned her ankle against Li Na in the fourth round (and if you missed it, ESPN2 showed it to you in super slo-mo at least 126 more times while it was getting treated), but after dropping the first set, she rallied to take the final two. Na had match points in the second set but blinked. It seemed the ankle had few lingering issues attached to it, but conditioning will always be a factor in big matches when you've been hurt as much as Clijsters.
Clijsters is quite simply one of the steeliest players on tour. She makes plenty of errors, but they don't tend to linger. She was not incredibly athletic even at her peak, but her anticipation is strong, and her right arm is stronger. If she is at 100 percent health (and she certainly looked it against Caroline Wozniacki in the quarterfinals), she has an excellent chance at winning her second Aussie title.
2. Where's Azarenka's head?
Like quite a few of the women's tour's younger stars, Azarenka gets a bit too fiery at times; she can lose her cool and end up in a pretty negative place. That was not the case in the semifinals against her friend (and No. 8 seed) Agnieszka Radwanska in the quarterfinals, however. After laying a goose-egg in the first set tie-breaker, she responded with ferocity. She won 12 of the match's final 14 games and coasted to a win, just as she has for much of the tournament. She is smoking hot (10-0 in 2012 after finishing 8-2 in 2011), and she has given herself a shot at the No. 1 ranking because of it, but with the extra pressure involved, will she keep her cool or fall apart? The winner of the first set has won all six matches in this series, often going away; if Clijsters gets hot early, will Azarenka recover?
3. How many more opportunities do we have to watch Clijsters?
She has suggested that this will be her last Australian Open, and that her career could quite possibly be over by the end of this year. She is so strong and so gutty that losing her to retirement (for approximately the 16th time) will be a damn shame. With a gaggle of younger women attempting to establish themselves, Clijsters has continued to provide a strong baseline against which they can compare themselves. Azarenka is one of many players who have shown a high level of upside with iffy consistency. Knocking off Clijsters today would prove quite a bit, but few would complain if Clijsters had one more run of elite play over the coming months.

No. 15 Texas A&M (7-2, 4-2) at No. 1 Alabama (9-0, 6-0 SEC) , 3:30 p.m. (CBS)
Line: Alabama by 13-1/2.
Series Record: Alabama leads, 3-1.
Alabama can secure a spot in the SEC championship game with a victory. The Aggies have lost to other entrenched SEC powers Florida and LSU by eight points combined for their only defeats. There wouldn't be a better way to make an introductory statement in the league than beating the defending national champs.
Texas A&M's pass rush against a big, experienced offensive line that might be Alabama's biggest strength, especially up the middle with C Barrett Jones and G Chance Warmack. Aggies DE Damontre Moore has racked up a league-high 11.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss. The Tide allowed QB AJ McCarron to get sacked only once against LSU's fierce pass rushers.
Texas A&M: QB Johnny Manziel. Johnny Football meet Old-School Football. The league's leading rusher and scorer and No. 3 passer confronts one of the nation's stingiest defenses. Bama is allowing 66 yards a game rushing while Manziel is averaging 102.4. The Tide held Michigan's similarly swift Denard Robinson to 27 yards rushing but he had 200 passing and two long touchdowns.
Alabama: McCarron. He's earned mention as a Heisman Trophy candidate because he's made plays not mistakes. He's also got to help bring the Tide back to earth after engineering a dramatic drive against LSU.
Texas A&M has never been to Tuscaloosa and hasn't played Bama since 1988. ... The Aggies are 1-10 in previous games against No. 1 teams, including a 30-26 win over Oklahoma in 2002. ... More than 20 members of Bear Bryant's 1954-57 Texas A&M teams will be honored in a pre-game ceremony, including 1957 Heisman Trophy winner John David Crow. Also expected to attend are former Aggies and Tide head coaches Gene Stallings and Jackie Sherrill. ... McCarron's interception-free streak has risen to 289 passes, 36 shy of the SEC record held by Kentucky's Andre' Woodson. ... Alabama is trying to reach double-digit wins for the fifth consecutive season.

Sometimes, when a wood bat strikes a baseball thrown at speeds greater than 80 miles per hour, the wood bat breaks. Sometimes the bat shatters, sending pieces of bat hurling through the air at great speed. Sometimes, these whirling, spinning shards of wood strike and injure people. Sometimes very seriously.
Remember this horrifying play at the end of the 2010 season, when Cubs rookie Tyler Colvin was impaled by a piece of shattered bat as he ran from third base to home?
At the time, the broadcasters didn't realize how serious Colvin's injury was. The shattered bat, in fact, punctured his chest wall, putting Colvin in the hospital for several days. (And no one has yet figured out why Kevin Youkilis was the Cubs trainer that day.)
Colvin's injury came two years after MLB began looking into the issue of shattered bats. In the final three months of the 2008 season, 2,232 bats broke, with 756 of them separating into multiple pieces. MLB responded by setting up a committee comprised of wood and engineering experts to study the issue.
What did they learn?
The problem, in large measure, came from the increased use of bats made from maple, supplanting ash bats, which had been the standard in Major League Baseball for 50 years. Ash had replaced hickory as the wood of choice for bats when players opted for a lighter wood, in order to increase their bat speed.
So, after fifty years of success with ash bats, why did players switch to maple?
Maple is stronger than ash, and thus better for hitting the ball long distances. Even so, most players stayed with ash until after the 2001 season. That year, Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs using maple bats, breaking the single-season home-run record. A performance-enhancing bat, if you will. Today, more than half of all major leaguers use maple bats.
The problem is that maple bats break far more often and in more dangerous ways than ash bats. Maple bats "account[ed] for 7.5 times as many multipiece breakages than did ash bats in the 2008 season and five times as many in 2009 and 2010," according to David E. Kretschmann, a research engineer with the federal government's Forest Products Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and a member of MLB's bat study committee.
A report in the Chronicle of Higher Education explains why maple bats shatter more frequently and in different ways, compared to ash bats:
One [explanation] involves the rings that accumulate with each year of a tree's growth. When cut into lumber, those rings become the familiar lines that run the length of a baseball bat. The tree rings emerge from each year's formation of pores that supply the tree with water and nutrients. Ash is considered "ring porous," because its pores develop in the early stage of the annual growing season, making its lines more distinct.
Maple, by contrast, is a "diffuse porous" species, with its pores more evenly distributed throughout its annual ring. The result is that when an ash bat breaks from hitting a baseball, the wood is more likely to just flake off along those lines, [according to Lloyd V. Smith, an associate professor of mechanical and materials engineering at Washington State University].
Another reason for the differing performance is that the grain lines in ash tend to run straighter, whereas the lines in maple tend to meander. That makes maple a more aesthetically beautiful wood, with "a lot of interesting textures," says Mr. Smith, whose Sports Science Laboratory performs the official bat testing for the NCAA. But that meandering is far more likely to leave the wood with a random spot of relative weakness, and thus a higher likelihood of a sudden breaking of the bat on impact. "The challenge in getting maple with straight grain is more difficult than with ash," he says.
An additional problem stems from the higher moisture content of maple. That property leads some bat manufacturers to kiln-dry maple longer than ash. The extra drying is done to reduce the bat's weight, but it also makes the bat more brittle, Mr. Smith says.
Even with this information, and the potential for more Colvin-type injuries -- or worse -- MLB hasn't banned maple bats. Many players prefer them, despite the risks to themselves and others. And MLB can't simply change equipment rules without the acquiescence of the Players Association.
Instead, before the 2010 season, MLB required changes in bat dimensions at the major-league level and banned the use of certain types of maple bats in the minor leagues. For major leaguers, maple bats are now inspected and must meet new specifications: the maximum diameter of the barrel can be no larger than 2.61 inches (down from 2.75 inches, previously) and the minimum size of bat handles was increased about 1/50th of an inch. In addition, the league "now requires that bat makers place ink dots on the handle of their maple bats to better identify the straightness of the grain. If the grain is straight, the ink will bleed in the wood from the handle to the barrel, which is preferable." In the minors, restrictions were placed on the density of sugar maple used to manufacture bats and the use of silver and red maple in bats was banned.
The new Collective Bargaining Agreement between the players and owners carried over the minor-league density restrictions, but only for those players who have never had an at-bat in the majors. Any player who's had a major-league at-bat can continue to use the low-density maple bats, for the entirety of their careers.
With the changes made to date, the number of broken bats has declined since the 2008 season. But the problem has not been eliminated. Which means a high risk of more incidents like the one involving Tyler Colvin.
Jason Rosenberg (@Jason_IIATMS), the founder and editor of the Yankees blog It's About the Money, Stupid, has been covering the maple-bat issue for years. You can and should read all of Jason's research and analysis here. I relied on much of Jason's work in preparing this story.
I asked Jason for his view of the new rules on bat density for new players, and about other possible solutions to the problem of shattering maple bats. Here's some of what he had to say:
I've been as outspoken as anyone about this issue. The new restriction on bat density for new players is a step in the right direction, but it is not enough.
A number of potential solutions have been developed. Some include radical multi-piece bats that will likely never see a major league game under current MLB Rule 1.10, as they fundamentally change the time-honored equipment of the game. Other solutions include ultra-thin polymer films that wrap the bat to keep the barrel and handle in place should the bat suffer what the manufacturers call a "multi-part failure." The polymer has been tested with positive results at MLB's testing facility in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Regardless of the possible remedies now or in the future, as long as the players want the thin handle, heavy barrel bats that create a whip-like action, bats will continue to shatter. According to MLB regulations, the difference between the bat length and weight can be no greater than 3.5. In other words, a 35" bat cannot be lighter than 31.5 oz. Bigger barrels, narrower handles and bats that push the limits of this rule (or exceed them due to player modification (sanding the handles for weight/narrowness) all greatly contribute to this problem.
Small steps forward for MLB, even when bigger, potentially better solutions are available. But this issue, especially, is on the players, who continue to look for any possible advantage to improve their performance in the batter's box.
Fingers crossed that nothing like the Tyler Colvin incident -- or worse -- ever happens again.

The charge carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
Pacherille, who is white, is accused of trying to murder classmate Wesley M. Lippitt, who is black, at the Cooperstown Police Station on April 2, 2010, Good Friday.
He is scheduled to plead guilty in Otsego County Court at 1:30 Friday before Judge Brian Burns.
Muehl said Thursday that Pacherille's attorney, E. Stewart Jones Jr. of Troy, accepted the plea bargain offer Thursday afternoon.
As part of the agreement, Pacherille will acknowledge that he targeted Lippitt for racial reasons, Muehl said.
Muehl said Pacherille will have to serve seven-eighths of his sentence, or over nine-and-a-half years in prison.
He has been in custody at the Otsego Jail for slightly more than a year, making the remainder of his sentence about eight-and-a-half years in prison. He would be 25 years old when released if serving the full term.

Greensburg Daily News
---- — GREENSBURG – The annual Children's Health and Safety Fair will be returning to the Tree City at the Decatur County Family YMCA for its sixth running.
Gilliland Howe Funeral Home and the YMCA have worked together for several years to provide the annual health and safety fair for area children and their families. In addition to valuable health and safety lessons and demonstrations, the event will be provide fun, food, information and games from everyone who attends.
According to information provided to the Daily News by Leslie Thackery, a coordinator of the event, the Children's Health and Safety Fair will take place Saturday, Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will feature a number of activities for guests. The event, as well as all the entertainment and food will be free of charge. Some vendors may have mementos for sale, but the entire family can enjoy the health and safety fair without spending a penny. There is no cost for vendors or exhibitors either.
The Decatur County Board of Health and Decatur County Memorial Hospital have teamed up to offer 100 free flu shots on a first come, first served basis. The Lion's Club will be providing vision screenings and Urgent Care will be on hand with blood pressure and sugar level tests.
At 12:30 p.m., any children from age 3 to 12 who would like to participate in the Kids' Fun Run will be split into age groups on the outdoor track. The distance run for each group will correspond to the ages of the runners. Everyone who takes part in the fun run will receive a participation ribbon.
Pullers for Christ will be hosting a Pedal Tractor Pull at 1 p.m. Boys and girls will pull against each other in three categories. Class one will be for children from 20 to 43 pounds, class two for children from 44 to 57 pounds and class three for children from 58 to 70 pounds. Winners in each class will receive trophies and everyone will take home a participation ribbon.
Gilliland-Howe will be providing a free lunch of chili, hot dogs and drinks to everyone attending. There will also be a number of free giveaways and drawings hosted by Gilliland Howe. In the past, items such as tablets, cameras, televisions, toys and bicycles have been given away to attendees. Normally, anywhere between 25 and 30 gifts are given away, but that number may go down if the purchased gifts cost more than they have in previous years.
Games will be provided during the family-friendly event. Families will be able to enjoy corn hole, drunk goggle games using the goggles that simulate alcohol impairment, a bounce house and several carnival style games. The Decatur County YMCA also encourages everyone to stay after the event for a free family swim in the YMCA indoor pool from 1 to 4 p.m.
The Decatur County Sheriff's Department will be on hand to provide safety demonstrations and information. Representatives from the Decatur County YMCA should also have lessons and information on water safety available.
The Greensburg Fire Department (GFD) has been teaching fire safety to area schoolchildren, instructing them on safety rules in the event of a fire and teaching them how to safely getting out of a burning house. The GFD will be on-site at the Children's Health and Safety Fair with the Fire Safety House, an RV-type trailer filled with smoke to simulate a burning home.
Students watch a video that explains how to find an exit in a smoke-filled home. Any children who did not get to experience the Fire Safety House at school are invited to go through during the fair. Children are encouraged to go through with the parents and to instigate a discussion about the family's escape plan should a fire occur. It is important for every member of the family to know what to do in the event of an emergency.

Volleyball Opens Season at FSU Invitational
Fort Myers, Fla. – The FGCU Volleyball team opens the 2007 season tomorrow (August 24, 2007) against TCU in Tallahassee as part of the Florida State Invitational.
The trip to Tallahassee marks the start of a new era at FGCU. It will be the first competition as a Division I member for FGCU. The volleyball team was tremendously successful at the Division II level, making three NCAA Tournament appearances in as many years. The fourth year program has an overall record of 80-13 and now will try to translate that success to Division I and the Atlantic Sun Conference.
The Eagles return four starters plus their libero to the 2007 team. FGCU is coming off of a 29-3 campaign where they reached the South Region final of the NCAA tournament (D-II) for the second straight season. FGCU, now a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference and NCAA Division I, was selected fourth in the A-Sun preseason coaches poll. Seniors Brooke Youngquist (Fort Myers, Fla.) and Whitney Hendry (Fort Myers, Fla.) headline the returners. Youngquist is the career leader in kills while Hendry holds the school mark for digs. They are the only two remaining members of the inaugural volleyball team at FGCU. The Eagles also return starters Chandra Lefever (Fort Morgan, Col.), Cara Ziegler (Naples, Fla.) and Patrica Silva (Sao Palo, Brazil).
The Eagles open the Invitational with TCU. The Horned Frogs, coming off of a 17-15 season, return four starters as well. TCU returns five additional letterwinners from last year's squad. FGCU and TCU will square off at 7:00 pm on Friday. The Eagles return to action Saturday at 2:00 against UNC-Asheville. The Bulldogs were selected to finish third in the Big South Conference and had a pair of players selected to the All-Conference team also. UNC-Asheville is coming off of a 15-18 season. Fans can follow the action with game tracker by clicking the following link:
Following the FSU Invitational, FGCU will have a week off before competing in the UNC Hampton Inn & Suites Classic hosted by the University of Northern Colorado.

The House of the Landsmannschaft-Darmstadtia
The House of the Landsmannschaft-Darmstadtia
Member of the Coburger Convent
In the fall of 1881 were 13 graduates of the Darmstadt Ludwig Georg-school to study in Giessen. It was decided to maintain the old friendship and to found an association of intestinal townspeople. Regular meeting place was the Café Ebel, as these meetings but were without discipline, it was decided to issue an order Kneip. This was adopted on 02.11.1882 and "Darmstadtia" selected as the connection name. The first constant was the local powder mill.
The 13 founding fellows were:
Florus bus, Heinrich bus, coach Karl, Hermann Eidmann, Wilhelm Hofmann, Joseph Muller, Edward Otto, Rudolf Schad, Gerhard Schilling, Eugene Schoenfeld, Louis Reinhardt, Ferdinand Rohde and Emil Wolf.
As of 11.02.1882 were not worn blue - white - red. Darmstadtia represented from the beginning, the position of absolute satisfaction and came armed protection at the former L! (Now B!) Germania Marburg. 1886 Darmstadtia was purple with the colors - white - pink logged in to the Rector of the Alma Mater Ludoviciana, as the recent blue - white - red were already awarded to a pharmacist association. A little later we changed the colors in purple - white - to red.
In 1891 appeared the first attempts to become the country team. Since Darmstadtia had to show as a black link arms, we finally decided on 02.08.1893 also the duty of striking transformation in a corporation. Thus Darmstadtia on 28/05/1893 Zwingenberg included in the LC-boys Reinewald (L! Teutonia Würzburg), Meyer (L! Spandovia Berlin) and Küssner (L! Ulmia Tübingen) in the Coburg LC and finally on 07.14.1893 in Leipzig admittiert official. On 05.13.1894 the reception took place in Coburg.
1900 Darmstadtia members than was the striking combination in Giessen.
1906 was the foundation stone of the house. On 02/17/1907, the 25th Anniversary event, the house in a street clinic was inaugurated in Giessen.
1937 Aktivitas was dissolved in growing pressure of the NSDStB. The house was used by the camaraderie No. VII, which was later renamed the camaraderie at the Darmstadt house "and finally to a highly decorated in World War fraternity brother in" Knight of camaraderie Rompf ".
On 12.27.1947 a new Aktivitas was recorded, consisting of the three sons of old boys Holzel, Petry and Seiler and 19 members of the young fraternity "scholars". 1951 we again took the designation "country team to" and entered the Convent of the Coburg country teams and a Turnerschaften at German universities. In 1952 the house again expropriated property of L! Darmstadtia.
Through strict and unwavering adherence to the principle of compulsory beating Darmstadtia both survived the turmoil of the years 1968/1969, 1970/1971 crisis and the governing body.
To other students to create sufficient housing and secure the federal government for the future, bought the L! Darmstadtia 2003, in the immediate neighborhood is also a listed large house in the street Credner 16, which provides at each of its four floors, each with four habitable rooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

This is the conclusion of a two-part report on operations at a March 19, 2011, house fire in Huntingtown, MD, at which 10 firefighters were injured, including four who received significant burns. Fire and rescue personnel from the Huntingtown Volunteer Fire Department (HVFD) responded along with other departments from throughout Calvert County and numerous mutual aid departments from Anne Arundel, Charles and Prince George's counties.
As we reported in part one (September 2012), about 15 minutes after interior firefighting operations were begun, conditions on the second floor deteriorated rapidly as the main body of heavy fire in the attic and void spaces dropped down on firefighters. This forced an emergency evacuation of the second floor.
Given the severity of the injuries and magnitude of the event, Chief William Goldfeder was asked by HVFD Chief Jonathan Riffe to assemble an independent investigative team to critically review the incident so others can learn about what happened there and how to prevent injuries in the future. The team consisted of Assistant Chief Donald W. Heinbuch of the Baltimore City, MD, Fire Department; Division Chief Michael W. Robinson of the Baltimore County, MD, Fire Department; Chief Jonathan R. Starling of the Sterling Volunteer Fire Department in Loudoun County, VA; Chief William Corrigan of the College Park Volunteer Fire Department in Prince George's County, MD; Captain Justin L. Green of the Loudoun County, VA, Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management; and Deputy Chief William Goldfeder of the Loveland-Symmes Fire Department in Ohio, who was chairman of the investigative team. The team was assisted with logistics by James W. Richardson, coordinator, and Katie Hanko, both from the Fire-Rescue-EMS Division of the Calvert County Department of Public Safety. Particular thanks to Captain Justin Green, who served as the scribe and the architect of the document as the report was being developed.
As we stated in part one, the investigative report contains the results of the team's comprehensive review and analysis. All of the information presented is factual and, to the greatest extent possible, was validated by multiple sources prior to inclusion in this document. It is important to note that the investigative team had months to examine the incident, form conclusions and develop recommendations. In contrast, the first personnel to arrive on the scene had only seconds to make critical decisions and take action. This column continues a synopsis of the investigative report.
First-arriving units
Chief 6C, the first fire department unit to arrive on scene, based his decision to enter the house on information relayed from Calvert Communications that "(the caller is) advising the fire's now spread to his attic" and the occupant, who arrived at the vehicle and mentioned that someone was still inside. As the first-arriving unit on scene, Chief 6C (who reported "heavy smoke from the attic area, working fire") had the opportunity to establish command, formulate an Incident Action Plan (IAP) and communicate a strategy to incoming units. Instead, Chief 6C asked Chief 6A to take command upon arrival.
Engine 6-2, the first suppression unit to arrive on scene, reported, "6-2 laying out at the end of the driveway, gravel portion."
Chief 6C: "I do not have an all clear, I'm going in."
Chief 6A: "I copy."
Chief 6C exited the vehicle and met the lieutenant, who had arrived before Chief 6C, at the rear of the vehicle where they both donned their personal protective equipment (PPE) and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) carried in Chief 6C's vehicle. Once equipped, they both entered the home via the front door on side Alpha. Chief 6C entered the open door and traveled across the foyer where the stairs to the second floor were visible. Chief 6C reported seeing a haze on the first floor, while light smoke was visible at the ceiling level of the second floor when looking up the stairwell. The lieutenant remained in the foyer while Chief 6C accessed the two-story great room to the rear of the home where he found the fireplace. No fire or signs of fire were visible around the fireplace.
