When to see a medical professional.
The diagnostic tools of modern medicine are impressive. Far to often overmedicating can cause further health issues.

You have the right to ask as many questions and dictate your healthcare.

I don't like sauerkraut. Or I didn't. I was eating a pastrami sandwich today and there was some sauerkraut on it and it didn't bother me. And I wondered why I had had an aversion to sauerkraut at all (apart from it being utterly disgusting in appearance, smell, and flavour; a lot can be forgiven for perfectly accompanying thin-sliced pastrami).
And then I remembered the rumours.
No. Not those rumours. But the timing of my sandwich is highly suspicious. Like the god of deli meats is looking out for me, reminding me that life is a bit cyclical.`That it doesn't matter that I'm 31: sometimes high school is inescapable. Because people don't change enough from the teens they were when they become the adults they are.
I was a counselor at a day camp for kids with disabilities the last two summers of high school. By the second year I was completely comfortable in the job, loved all the kids (many of whom returned), was friends with all of the counselors from the past year and made friends with those who were just starting. Probably unsurprisingly most of the counselors were young women or high school girls: young men weren't that attracted to the job, for inexplicable but obvious reasons.
There were a few guys: Bruce, a late-twenties trashy-dude who took the job when his girlfriend Laura did. Nick, a kid around my own age. And another Shawn, a varsity-looking guy, also older, but only early twenties.
It was probably the best job I've ever had (present occupation excepted), and we gang of friends, though of varying ages and backgrounds, really delighted in pranking each other to one extent or another. The bigger pranks were reserved for a special day, toward the end of summer, and on that day everyone was on the lookout.
I didn't look hard enough, though. Because on that day they managed, Bruce and Shawn, to get me on the ground and dump a huge bag of wet brown sugar all over me. And then to top it all off:
God it stank. And it was sticky. And it lingered for what seemed like days.
This brilliant and humiliating prank was engineered by Bruce, and I never thought of a way to get him back. Plus, he was from Rideau Heights in Kingston, the shady side of town, and I just didn't want to mess with him.
Summer closed, and the changes that had been taking place all season beneath the earth sprouted brilliant maples that bore some insane fruit.
A few days before my sauerkraut bath I was called in to the camp director's office. She was a high school friend (although long graduated), and I had the job I did because of that connection and because the company's main office was next to my father's law office, so I saw her all the time. She waved me in, and indicated that I should have a seat.
"I had to call you in today, had to, even though you shouldn't worry about this at all. But I've had a complaint about you."
The wind was sucked out of me. I thought I was pretty affable. If I'm comfortable, as I was in that environment, I'm pretty good with people and I try not to step on any toes. I thought I was doing well.
"Someone has complained that you've been sexually harassing some of the female counselors."
The wind was punched out of me. My mind ramped up speed, re-examining every interaction I had had with any of the other counselors all summer long. I had a girlfriend, and didn't consider myself flirty, and I was taken utterly by surprised.
"Look. I know that this complaint is nonsense. But it was made, and as the camp director I have to investigate and confront you about it."
"Can you tell me who? Who I'm accused of harassing? Who made the complaint?"
"No. But seriously. Don't worry about it. It's bunk."
I left her office a very cautious, paranoid person (but not paranoid enough to avoid the sauerkraut dousing later that week). I couldn't tell anyone about it, because it was just too freakishly embarrassing. Plus, if it made me re-evaluate all of my interactions, even though I was assured that the complaint was baseless, then I couldn't imagine what other people would think. I didn't think I could count on the benefit of the doubt (although I shouldn't have been so worried). And I just didn't want anyone thinking of me like that, even if only to consider it without judging.
But, on the last day of day camp I was sitting outside with Bruce, trying to be a little sympathetic since his girlfriend Laura (the one who was also a counselor and who had gotten him hired) had broken up with him. They lived together, so this was especially painful for him (and alien to me), so I talked to him about it, and about how weird the summer was.
"You know," I said, "I, uh, I got called into Stephanie's office a couple of weeks ago. Someone had filed a complaint against me, for sexual harassment. Can you believe that? I mean, what the hell? Hey, tell me honestly, do you think that I was over the line with anyone here?"
He looked at me and smiled the bitter smile of the recently dumped: "Yeah. I do. I'm the one who filed that complaint."
What. The. Fuck?
"What the fuck? You? Why?"
"Laura. You were always talking to her and I know that you two have been sleeping together all summer. You needed to be put in your place, you little shit."
His eyes were pretty crazy by this point, and all of a sudden the sauerkraut incident wasn't just a prank: it was aggression, spite, revenge.
"Bruce. Look. Laura and I are friends. I have never done anything even remotely inappropriate with her." (Hey, I know this is supposed to be an 18-year-old talking to a 28-year-old, but forgive me if I make the 18-year-old sound a little more sensible and a little less squeaky than the situation really had him sounding.)
He spat something about waiting for me around the corner after work (seriously, dude? High school is over, for both of us, but maybe not for as long in your case.) and then he crawled off. No longer a person to me, but a chameleon. I hadn't realized it; I hadn't been able to pick him out against the red brick of the camp building, or the green leaves of the summer trees.
I wanted to talk to him, and convince him, somehow, that he was just wrong. But he wouldn't listen. Just threaten.
I asked Laura about it later. I told her about the sexual harassment complaint (and her eyes grew wide) and then I told her about Bruce being the one to make it (and her eyes grew angry), and then I told her about his accusation that we had been sleeping together, the 18-year-old kid and the 27-year-old woman-living-with-someone (and her eyes grew soft).
Yeah, they softened.
"Well," she began, "he got it half right."
"I've been sleeping with the other Shawn for half the summer."
I had no idea what to say to that. All I could think about was sauerkraut, and being held down by Shawn while Bruce poured the disgusting concoction all over my head.
I don't mind sauerkraut so much anymore. And I suppose rumours don't bother me either.
But I don't ever want to suffer from both ever again.

Father of Conn. school gunman claims son's body
Published 12:00 am Monday, December 31, 2012
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — The father of the gunman who killed 26 people in a Connecticut elementary school, including 20 first-graders, has claimed his son's body, a spokesman for the family said Monday.
The remains of Adam Lanza were claimed by Peter Lanza, the spokesman said. He did not say when the remains were claimed or what plans the family might have for a funeral service.
Adam Lanza, 20, slaughtered the children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14. He also killed his mother in their Newtown home before going on the rampage and then committing suicide.
A private funeral was held earlier this month in New Hampshire for his mother, Nancy Lanza, who was divorced from Peter Lanza.
Peter Lanza lives in Stamford, Conn., and is a tax director at General Electric.
Authorities have not offered a motive for the killings. State police say they have been exploring all aspects of Adam Lanza's life including his education, family history and medical treatment for clues.
Police have said it could take months to produce a final report on their investigation.

Among the specific topics addressed in these publications are the Equal Rights Amendment, Title IX, and a number of local and national elections. Relevant issues and events, such as appearances by popular and sometimes controversial activists and celebrities, equal rights negotiations with businesses, offensive fraternity hijinks, and the portrayal of women in popular culture, are also documented. Some periodicals provide information about networking and social opportunities.
The individual publications contained in this collection include the newsletters of various chapters of the National Organization for Women, the Texas Women's Political Caucus, and the Houston organization Womynspace. Other Houston-area publications include Pointblank Times and Breakthrough.

Remember that pudding-based sourdough bread I made a while back? I said that I'd try it again, and I did.
This time, the pudding being put to use was butterscotch-flavored. I know made-from-scratch is always better, but that's a somewhat complex recipe and the boxed version is awfully tasty. Awfully--such an appropriate adverb since I feel guilty for enjoying something with so many chemicals, modified starches, preservatives, and the like.
But enjoy it I do, and I suspected that it would make for a knockout bread. I considered using chocolate chips or toffee bits as an add-in, but in the end I opted for diced dried apples. Had I used the sweet stuff, the end result might've been too rich (not for me, mind you, but for those of typical palates).
The bread was fantastic. There was definitely a subtle caramel-brown sugar-butterscotchy thing going on, but it was never the slightest bit overwhelming. The apples contributed a nice tart zing and the overall texture was lovely.
So soft. So satisfying.
Was it better than the version made with coconut pudding? Gracious, that's a toughie. If you threatened to take away my cinnamon if I didn't pick one or the other, I'd have to say the tropical version takes it by a hair (not by a hair found in any of my baked goods, of course)(I always wear a hairnet when I cook...don't you?).
Butterscotch Friendship Bread
(personalized from this recipe)
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup pear baby food
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sourdough starter
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant butterscotch pudding
1 cup chopped dried apples
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease down whatever molds you intend to use (I filled up 8 mini loaves).
In a large bowl, mix the oil, pear puree, eggs, milk, starter, vanilla, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, pudding mix, and apples. Add this to the liquid mixture and stir thoroughly.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until done. Apparently, this takes at least an hour for regular loaves, and took around 45 minutes for my mini loaves. Cool completely before slicing.

João loves chocolate fingers so I decided to make them at home. I found a recipe on this website and since I've made several recipes from there I thought I should give it a try.
Just a few ingredients, a soft dough that comes together quickly and that makes a lot of cookies – I halved the recipe and got 50 fingers, 9cm each.
My husband loved the cookies - he doesn't want the store-bought version anymore… ;)
Chocolate fingers
260g all-purpose flour
120g butter, at room temperature - not too soft
2 tablespoons baking powder
100g caster sugar
1 small egg, lightly beaten
500g semisweet or bittersweet chocolate – I used bittersweet and it worked wonderfully with the sweet flavor of the cookies
Pre-heat the oven to 170ºC/335ºF and line two baking sheets.
Place the sifted flour, baking powder and the butter in a bowl and rub them together with your fingertips until you have the texture of wet sand. Add the sugar, egg and mix until the dough comes together.
Grab small amounts of dough and roll into small "sausages" – line your working surface with baking paper to shape the cookies – it will be easier.
Carefully place the fingers in prepared baking sheets and bake for 15 minutes or until light golden.
Let the cookies cool in the pans then remove them carefully so they don't break:
Now, you have to temper the chocolate – it has to be done properly, otherwise your coating won't dry correctly and won't be glossy and resistant to temperature changes.

Using a fork, dip each cookie into chocolate and turn it to ensure even coating. "Fish them" out of chocolate and remove excess by tapping the fork at the edge of the bowl.
Place the covered cookies on a lined baking sheet and then refrigerate for 10-15 minutes – until the chocolate has set.
Store the chocolate finger in an air-tight container – I kept mine in a cookie tin and they were crunchy and delicious for 5 days.
Makes 75 chocolate fingers – I halved the recipe and still got 50.

Modifications & Customization of This House Plan
You are thinking about making changes to your home plan? Rest
assured, this is very common and almost everyone makes changes to
their plan while building their home. The following is intended
to walk you through that process of making changes or customizing
the home plan you have chosen to suit your specific requirements.
Whether your issues concern your lot, special requirements of your
locality or just personal preferences, making changes is easy and
very common.
Building in Reverse Building the design in reverse? No problem! Mirror prints, where the plan is printed in reverse are available. When you order Mirror Reverse plans, the lettering is also reversed, so all of your plans except one set of plans in your plan package will be a basic, non-reversed set to easily read the text and measurements. For example, an eight set plan package would contain one set mirror reversed, and seven sets non-reversed. If Right Reading Reverse (RRR) is an option under Plan Packages, the plan as well as the text and measurements are reversed. Red-lining blueprints This is by far the most common way that most changes are made. It is also the simplest and least expensive. Although our industry uses the word "blueprints" this is a holdover from days past. All the plans used today for construction are printed on white paper with black or blue line lettering. Because of this fact, notations are easily made on these prints. They can be made by pen, pencil or a red line pencil, which stands out clearly,  hence the term "red-lining". Red-lining is not recommended for major changes, but is suited for the vast majority of changes, such as:
Reproducibles Where major changes are contemplated, a reproducible or vellum is suggested. You can check under "View Pricing Options" to see if this plan is available in reproducibles/vellums. The reproducible allows an experienced local draftsperson to add, erase or draw involved changes to any plan. Reproducibles are also extremely helpful where local engineering or code modifications are required. Changes that may be made with our reproducibles are as follows:
Reproducibles are best if modified by a local architect, designer or engineer, but may also be modified by an experienced contractor. Authorization is provided to enable you to make prints from the reproducibles at a local copy shop. Copy shops are not permitted to reproduce house plans without such an authorization. Also, check under "View Pricing Options" to see if this plan is available in a CAD file for use in modifying plans. These are the electronic files that contain all the information on your blueprints. Remember, making changes is easy, common and most often made simply by red lining your changes directly on your plans. |

The rich keep getting richer as the combined net worth of America's 400 richest rises

Forbes on Monday released its annual list of the top 400 richest Americans. While most of the top names and rankings didn't change from a year ago, the majority of the elite club's members saw their fortunes grow over the past year, helped by strong stock and real estate markets.
"Basically, the mega rich are mega richer," said Forbes Senior Editor Kerry Dolan.
Dolan noted that list's minimum net income increased to a pre-financial crisis level of $1.3 billion, up from $1.1 billion in 2012, with 61 American billionaires not making the cut. "In some ways, it's harder to get on the list than it ever has been," she said.
Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates remains America's richest man, taking the top spot on the list for the 20th straight year, with a net worth of $72 billion, up from $66 billion a year ago.
Investor Warren Buffett, the head of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., posted another distant second place finish with $58.5 billion, but increased his net worth from $46 billion. Oracle Corp. co-founder Larry Ellison stayed third with $41 billion and was the only member of the top 10 whose net worth was unchanged from a year ago.
Brothers Charles and David Koch, co-owners of Koch Industries Inc., stay tied for fourth with $36 billion each, up from $31 billion in 2012.
Wal-Mart heirs Christy Walton, Jim Walton, Alice Walton and S. Robson Walton took the next four spots, with holdings ranging from $33.3 billion to $35.4 billion, all increasing from year-ago levels. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the founder of the eponymous financial information company, rounds out the top 10 with $31 billion, up from $25 billion.
According to Forbes, 273 members of the list are self-made billionaires, while 71 inherited their wealth and another 56 inherited at least some of it but are still growing it.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg returned to the list's top 20 after dropping out the year before. His net worth of $19 billion earned him the No. 20 spot.
Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz also made the list, at No. 85,with a net worth of $5.2 billion. At age 29 and just a few days younger the Zuckerberg, Moskovitz ranks as the youngest member of the list.
On the flip side, the oldest person on the list is 98-year-old David Rockefeller Sr. at No. 193 with a net worth of $2.8 billion.
A total of 20 new people joined the rankings, including Richard Yuengling Jr. of Pennsylvania beer maker D.G. Yuengling & Son, who ranked at No. 371 with $1.4 billion.
Twenty-eight people dropped off the list, including six who died. Those now falling short of the cut include energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens at $950 million, Graham Weston of Rackspace Hosting Inc. at $920 million and Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder at $1.2 billion.
A total of 48 women made the list including Hyatt Hotels heir Jennifer Pritzker at No. 327. Formerly known as James Pritzker, she's the list's first transgendered member.
According to Forbes, the 400 people on the annual list posted a combined net worth of $2 trillion, up from $1.7 trillion a year ago. That marks their highest combined value ever.
Meanwhile, the average net worth of the list's members rose to $5 billion, also the highest ever, up from $4.2 billion in 2012. Net worth grew for 314 members and fell for 30, Forbes said.
The increases aren't surprising, given that net worth for America's wealthiest people has risen in the years since the financial crisis, widening the gap between the exceptionally well-to-do and the rest of the country.
According to a study of Internal Revenue Service figures released last week, the top 1 per cent of U.S. earners collected 19.3 per cent of household income in 2012, their largest share in IRS figures going back a century.
U.S. income inequality has been growing for almost three decades. But until last year, the top 1 per cent's share of pre-tax income had not yet surpassed the 18.7 per cent it reached in 1927, according to the analysis done by economists at the University of California, Berkeley, the Paris School of Economics and Oxford University.
Some economists have speculated that the incomes of the wealthy might have surged in the past year, because they cashed in stock holdings to avoid higher capital gains taxes that kicked in in January.

There's nothing better than lazing around on a Sunday and being finished preparing dinner by noon. This chicken chili was so delicious, full of flavor, and super simple to boot! Just combine a bunch of basic ingredients, including kidney and black beans, chopped peppers, corn, tomatoes and spices, then top it all with whole chicken breasts, set it and forget it. On days when I don't want to make a big fuss (otherwise known as every Sunday), that's my kind of meal!
You can serve this chili over rice, with multigrain tortilla chips, or just as is with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkling of cilantro and grated cheddar cheese. It's so scrumptious and couldn't be an easier way to have dinner ready after work, or during a relaxing weekend at home.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also use an oven safe, 5 1/2 quart or larger pot. Simmer the whole pot at 350 degrees, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. Using either, you'll end up with a delicious result and find that leftovers are even better the next day.
I also love to serve this chili with my Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Muffins, which is so moist and fluffy you might devour more than the chili itself! But, that's okay… I've been known to have a piece or two for breakfast myself. Yum!
Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili
- ① 1 16 oz. can black beans, drained
- ② 1 16 oz. can kidney beans, drained
- ③ 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ④ 1 medium onion, chopped
- ⑤ 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- ⑥ 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- ⑦ 10 oz. package (1 1/4 cups) frozen corn kernels
- ⑧ 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
- ⑨ 1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
- ⑩ 1 tbsp. cumin
- ⑪ 1 tbsp. chili powder
- ⑫ 1 tsp. dried oregano
- ⑬ 1 tsp. kosher salt
- ⑭ 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, uncooked
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Optional toppings
- Additional cilantro, shredded cheese, chopped scallions, red onion, sour cream, etc.
- Combine ingredients 1 through 14 in a slow cooker*. Stir until combined. Place uncooked chicken on top and cover. Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Thirty minutes before serving, pull chicken breasts apart with two forks. Stir and continue cooking. Top with fresh cilantro or any other desired toppings.
- Enjoy!
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also use an oven safe, 5 1/2 quart or larger pot. Simmer at 350 degrees, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours.

Kiner, Hall of Fame slugger, broadcaster, dies at 91
Led Majors in homers for six straight years with Bucs; worked Mets games since 1962
When Frank Cashen approached a gathering of men at Spring Training camp in the 1980s, he routinely addressed them three times. "Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen," the Mets general manager would say, no matter the number of scoundrels and scallywags in the group. He once explained why he would paint them all with the same benefit-of-the-doubt brush. "Just in case Mr. Kiner is among them," Cashen said. "Any group that includes Ralph would have to be a group of gentlemen."
A tad presumptuous, perhaps, but probably true; the gentle and princely presence of Ralph Kiner could turn a gathering of crooks, rogues and rascals into civil and gracious fellows. Mr. Kiner had that effect, the opposite of one bad apple. "One wonderful man," Tim McCarver once said. "Any group of people is better off if Ralph joins."
On this mournful day, consider the group of mankind worse off; Ralph McPherran Kiner has died. One of baseball's genuine and most charming gentlemen, foremost sluggers and most enduring personalities passed away Thursday at age 91. He died peacefully of natural causes, with his family at his side, at his home in Rancho Mirage, Calif., the National Baseball Hall of Fame said.
"Ralph dominated at the plate for a decade, but his contributions to our national pastime spanned generations," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "For 52 years, Ralph was a one-of-a-kind voice of the Mets, linking baseball's unparalleled history to New York's new National League franchise since its very inception.
"I am grateful that I recently had the opportunity to visit with Ralph, whose lifetime of service to baseball will always be treasured by the fans of Pittsburgh, New York and beyond. On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my deepest condolences to his five children, his 12 grandchildren, his friends throughout our game and his admirers everywhere."
The game's shoulders are slumping and its eyes are moist. Baseball has had few in its family who were so widely revered, beloved and enjoyed.
"A man impossible to dislike," Kiner's longtime broadcast partner, the late Bob Murphy, said years ago. No one has ever disputed that assessment. Whether he was known as a Pirates slugger, Mets announcer, a Hall of Famer, the Keeper of the Korner, golf partner or the guy next to you on the elevator, Kiner was, above all, a gentleman. He held the door for his fellow men and women, deferred to others, always reached first for the check and considered a request for his autograph a compliment. He traveled on the high road exclusively.
Now Kiner is gone, leaving a legacy of always cordial interaction with folks he did and did not know, exceptional power-hitting, masterful storytelling, vast baseball knowledge, uncommon decency, untold kindnesses and unforgettable slips of the tongue.
"It's always a pleasure to be in Mr. Kiner's company," Cashen, the GM from 1980-91, said the day he joined Kiner and others in the Mets' Hall of Fame. "We could use more Ralph Kiners in our world."
We'll miss you, Ralph. #OriginalMet pic.twitter.com/LqOpY49lgd
- New York Mets (@Mets) February 6, 2014
Said Mets chairman and CEO Fred Wilpon: "Ralph Kiner was one of the most beloved people in Mets history -- an original Met and extraordinary gentleman. After a Hall of Fame playing career, Ralph became a treasured broadcasting icon for more than half a century. His knowledge of the game, wit and charm entertained generations of Mets fans.
"Like his stories, he was one of a kind. We send our deepest condolences to Ralph's five children and 12 grandchildren. Our sport and society today lost one of the all-time greats."
Through charisma and persona, Kiner became a celebrity who transcended the game. He made Pittsburgh the home run capital for most of a decade, and at times, a suburb of Hollywood. Kiner's companions included Elizabeth Taylor, Janet Leigh and Esther Williams. He married standout tennis player Nancy Chaffee.
When his back betrayed him and cut short his playing career in the mid-1950s, Kiner developed into a voice for generations of Mets fans. He knew the game, its people and its idiosyncrasies. He could fill a cross-country flight with entertaining anecdotes about Frankie Frisch, his first manager, Babe Ruth, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Casey Stengel, Marv Throneberry and Liz. And Kiner had more than enough stories for the return flight.
Kiner's institutional memory of the Mets exceeded that of all others. He was there from the first day and had unequaled entry in the organization. He had maps to all the skeletons and firsthand knowledge of so much. Whether the group included Casey and Yogi, Seaver and Koosman, Carter and Hernandez or Wright and Reyes, Kiner was one of them, accepted, appreciated and respected for all he had done and all he could relate.
Those who shared the television booths with Kiner -- the booths at Shea Stadium and Citi Field were named after him -- embraced all he brought to the airwaves. Mostly, folks took pleasure and pride in him. "Being one of the people Ralph knows and talks to is just ... so cool ... great ... unbelievably cool and great," Howie Rose said.
Words hadn't failed Rose, a Mets radio man. Such sentiments were often expressed by others as well.
Because he had been a fixture in the game's largest market for 52 years, Kiner's history sometimes seemed to have begun in 1962, when the expansion Mets were bumbling infants. His star was born 16 years earlier, though. Before he became a link to our past and a valued component of our present, he was a celebrity. Kiner's power hitting, from 1946-55, put him on the outskirts of Cooperstown. He became a permanent resident in 1975, when he received one vote more than was required for induction in his final year of eligibility on the writers' ballot.
Kiner missed only one Hall of Fame induction, in 2012, and never took his own for granted.
"With the passing of Ralph Kiner, the baseball world has lost one of its greatest ambassadors and the Hall of Fame has lost a wonderful friend," said Hall of Fame chairman Jane Forbes Clark. "Ralph spent eight decades as a player, executive and broadcaster. He was a man who truly loved our national pastime and made it better in every way. His legacy will live forever in Cooperstown."
Kiner touched so many people in his time, most of them through his work as a Mets announcer and the host of "Kiner's Korner," the postgame show that regularly demonstrated his warmth and his appreciation and knowledge of the game. He was a vein rich in baseball lore. His voice was one of experience. And what experience!
Kiner played for Frisch, roomed with Hank Greenberg, played with Bob Feller, and knew -- and occasionally disagreed with -- Branch Rickey. He kibitzed with Stengel, Gil Hodges, Duke Snider and Willie Mays, tutored Ron Swoboda and called the games of Tom Seaver, Tug McGraw, Dwight Gooden and David Wright.
Whether the topic was Nolan Ryan or Ryan Thompson, Leo's lip or Casey's hip, Mookie or El Duque, Piggy's tomatoes or Strawberry's field, Roger Cedeno or Rogers Hornsby, Gary Cooper or Cooperstown, Mr. Met or Miss Rheingold, Mettle the Mule or the black cat, David Cone or Gary Cohen, the Hammer or Nails, the '62 Mets or the '93 mess, the K Corner or Bobby O, Wagner's heat or Tug's screwball, Liz Taylor's smile or George Foster's scowl, Rusty's ribs or Pedro's shoulder, Mazzilli's pants or Lindsey's jackets, Robert L. Miller or Robert E. Mets, Kiner had a firm grasp of the topic, something to say about it and a willingness to share it with all.
Chances are, though, that we never would have come to know Kiner if not for his ability to hit baseballs over fences, walls and outfielders' heads. He led the NL in home runs or tied for the league lead in each of his first seven seasons, beginning in 1946. He led the big leagues or tied for the leadership from 1947-52; not even Babe Ruth accomplished such a six-year run. Kiner and Johnny Mize hit 51 home runs each in 1947, and Kiner hit 54 two years later. No other NL player had two 50-plus home run seasons until 1965, when Mays, who hit 51 in 1955, hit 52.
The resume Kiner created in the Minor Leagues from 1941 to early in the '43 season -- 27 home runs and a .264 average in 1,136 at-bats -- hardly suggested Kiner would flourish when he reached the big leagues. But when he returned to baseball in 1946, after serving as a Navy pilot in the Pacific, he had gained 20 pounds and matured. He was a Spring Training phenom.
Though Kiner equaled the Pirates' club home run record, 23, as a rookie, his power often was offset by the unkind dimensions of Forbes Field. Only eight of his home runs were hit in Pittsburgh.
The Pirates acquired Greenberg from the Tigers in 1947, and the future Hall of Fame slugger became "the single biggest influence of my adult life," according to Kiner. The two sluggers -- Kiner was 24, Greenberg 36 -- became close friends and developed a student-teacher relationship. Kiner became more of a pull hitter because of Greenberg and changes in the dimensions of Forbes Field. And Greenberg taught him other valuable lessons, among them that a tuxedo requires black, not brown, shoes.
The acquisition of Greenberg had more tangible impact. The Pirates reduced the respective distances to the walls in left and left-center field from 365 and 406 feet to 335 and 376. That created what newspaper men identified as "Greenberg's Garden" and what later became "Kiner's Korner."
The Korner seemingly was a factor in Kiner's power production: 28 of his 51 homers in '47 were hit at Forbes. He hit seven home runs in a four-game sequence in August and eight in another four games in September. All eight games were in Pittsburgh. He became the fifth player to hit 50 home runs in a season on Sept. 18.
After his salary was tripled -- to $30,000 -- and his teammate Fritz Ostermueller noted that, "Home run hitters drive Cadillacs. Singles hitters drive Fords," words often attributed to Kiner, the Pirates slugger did buy a Cadillac.
The Pirates signed Kiner for $40,000 for 1949, during which he would threaten the single-season home run records of Babe Ruth (60) and Hack Wilson (56 in the NL). On Sept. 11, when he became the first player to hit home runs in four successive at-bats for a second time, he had 48, with 12 in his last 14 games. But he finished with 54.
The Bucs signed Kiner to a two-year contract, unheard of in 1950, for $65,000 per season. He was the highest-paid player in the NL, and only Joe DiMaggio, Feller and Ted Williams had higher annual salaries. Kiner averaged 44 home runs and 115 RBIs per season, and he batted .285 with a .411 on-base average from 1947-53.
Kiner's strikeout total exceeded 90 once, in his rookie season. He placed in the top 10 in MVP Award balloting from 1947-52, though Pittsburgh finished higher than sixth place -- in an eight-team league -- once.
"All of us at the Pittsburgh Pirates have heavy hearts upon learning of Ralph Kiner's passing," the team said in reaction to Kiner's death. "Ralph was one of the greatest players to ever wear a Pirates uniform and was a tireless ambassador for the game of baseball. He was a treasured member of the Pittsburgh community during his seven years with the Pirates.
"Our heartfelt sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to his children, grandchildren, other family members and many friends. He will be missed by all of us at the Pirates organization."
The Pirates traded Kiner, who was 30, with Joe Garagiola and two others to the Cubs for six players and $150,000 on June 4, 1953. By the end of the 1954 season, Kiner had hit 50 home runs and driven in 160 runs for Chicago. A move to the Indians -- Greenberg was their GM -- followed, as did more problems with his back. Kiner appeared in 113 games in 1955 for the defending league champions, who placed second to the Yankees, and was forced to retire. His 369 home runs ranked sixth all-time when his career ended.
Kiner served as GM of the San Diego Padres, the Indians' affiliate in the Pacific Coast League. He worked postgame shows in Pittsburgh during the 1960 World Series and White Sox games in 1961. And in '62, he, Murphy and Lindsey Nelson began a 17-year run as the Mets' television and radio announcers. Nelson left, Murphy, who died in 2004, retired in 2003. And Kiner had filled a diminishing role in recent years.
But his time in the booth provided the game with some unforgettable observations and mistakes that prompted the term "Kinerisms."
• He identified Gary Carter as Gary Cooper after the future Hall of Fame catcher hit a walk-off home run in his first game with the Mets, on Opening Day in 1985.
• He introduced announcer Gary Cohen as David Cone, who was to be the Mets' pitcher that night.
• He said, "All of Rick Aguilera's saves have come in relief appearances."
• He credited Darryl Strawberry with decoying baserunner Darryl Strawberry.
• When Jason Isringhausen started opposite Todd Stottlemyre, Kiner said, "This will go down in history as the game where the pitchers have the most initials."
• He said, "Tony Gwynn was named player of the year for April."
But Kiner also was the source of several brilliant lines, including:
• "Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water. The other third is covered by Garry Maddox."
• "Cadillacs (meaning home runs) are down at the end of the bat."
And he participated in one of the enduring exchanges in baseball history. Catcher Choo Choo Coleman was a guest on one of the early "Kiner's Korner" programs. Kiner probed Coleman, asking "What's your wife's name?"
Coleman's response: "Mrs. Coleman."
Kiner's question: "What's she like?"
Coleman's response: "She likes me, Bub."
Kiner's most memorable television remark, however, involved one person:
He said, "Hello everybody, welcome to Kiner's Korner, I'm Ralph Korner."

I am still new to Zen Buddhism, though I have been familiar with the basic concepts of karma and rebirth through the years. I first encountered them in depth when I studying Hinduism and reading the Upanishads about a decade ago (the passage of time never ceases to amaze me). Now, in my current study of the Sutras and the Dharma that there are many principles in Buddhism that I can clearly see the truth in. However, I am currently struggling with doubts involving the nature of karma and rebirth. I can see that the wheel of life is itself is true because I can observe the cyclical nature of all things, but I have not seen any support of the passing of consciousness from one being to another. I have heard of dreams or visions that others have had that show them lives they once lead, I have had a few myself, but I cannot say with certainty that what I have experienced is "real" and not just a product of my psyche. I can feel these doubts within me like knots in my soul. As far as karma is concerned, I may just need a more in depth description of what it is. I have seen that those who cause misery to others often feel misery within themselves, but beyond that I don't always see justice in the universe. I don't often see a restoration of balance. Please, help me.
PS faith has never come easily for me. I have always found more understanding in hope rather than logic. Also, how should I approach some of the legends that I have encountered in Buddhism? I read a story about a woman who always stood atop a mountain, looking out to sea waiting for her lost husband to come home. Eventually she turned to stone and became one with the mountain. Now, I can see the virtue in this metaphor, but am I expected to take this as fact and not an insightful myth?

ARK CD0900-0900 DT-P Coilover System 03-ON Nissan 370Z
Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your street or track car. 16 levels of dampening adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The dampening adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response.
Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means you adjust height without losing suspension travel like some other coilover designs do. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for AL6061 billet aluminum the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability.
The ARK system uses a Monotube design in which the oil and gas are separated within the cylinder. When compared to twin tube designs the Monotube dissipates heat better, allows finer dampening adjustments, and requires more expensive design process. Aeration and cavatation are a lot less common in a Monotube design, which results in a better ride. The ARK DT-P Coilover system has been designed with professional road racing in mind offering extremely high value and performance.

Forcing the Windows Phone 7.8 update: Camera button not required but patience is
If you've checked your Windows Phone 7.5 device for the 7.8 update with no success, you may want to try to force the process, just as we did with other Windows Phone updates like Mango.
This is a little different than downloading and installing Windows Phone 7.8 manually, which we reported on earlier. With this method you're basically tricking the Microsoft servers to recognize your Windows Phone and initiating the update early. Think of it as cutting in line (and Microsoft is okay with this, no worries).
The other benefit with this method (versus the CAB one) is it means you are getting the official carrier/OEM update that usually includes the firmware too. If using just CABs you are updating the OS but not any device specific software. That's not a bad thing but it's really not ideal.
How to
Forcing requires patience and the ability to disconnect your computer from the internet. Make sure you have the Wifi and your data connection turned off on your Windows Phone and connect to Zune. Go to settings and check for an update and as soon as you click the "Update" link in the settings you'll need to disconnect from the internet.
Let Zune come back and tell you that it can't check for an update right now, reconnect to the internet and you should see that an update is now available. Timing seems to be key and it may take you a few tries to get things just right (took me six tries). From there you follow along with the update wizard and your Windows Phone is updated.
If this trick doesn't work, it likely means that the update files for your device aren't out there on the servers yet to be installed. We were successful in forcing the update on the AT&T Nokia Lumia 900 but couldn't get the HTC HD7S to update. When all was said and done, the Windows Phone version ended up being 7.10.8858.136.
Interesting note on the 7.8 update is that it provides support for devices without a camera button. More than likely this is for future low-end devices like the Alcatel One Touch where the lack of a camera button will keep production costs down. You may see this in a smaller update that installs before the 7.8 update goes through.
Step by step instructions to force the Windows Phone 7.8 update
- Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
- Click on Phone > Settings > Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
- Time to force the update. Click another button (any of the options above or below the word Update). Then click the Update button again, and this time disconnect your computer from the internet after 1-2 seconds. Do this by pulling out the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc. If it says your phone is already up to date, you didn't disconnect quickly enough and need to try this step again.
- Wait 30 seconds or so and Zune should display a notification that an update is available.
- Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.
- Depending on what OS build you are starting with, you may be prompted for several OS updates
- Let the phone update and wait. The final OS build is 8858. If you are getting just 8779, you'll want to repeat 1-4 above
- You may also be prompted to install a firmware update at the very end, follow through with this
- Celebrate! The whole process, including backup could take up to 60 minutes. Check that you are on build 8858 to see if you are done.
What if this method just doesn't work?
This won't work for every Windows Phone out there, only those that are officially designated for the 7.8 update, so your experience will vary.
If you don't get the update, it can mean one of two things.
- Your software update is literally not on Microsoft's servers for your phone/carrier. Try again in a few days.
- Your update may never come.
On the second point, we're not too confident generation one devices or Sprint's Arrive will ever "officially" get this update, which is why try as they might this method will never work. For you folks, you'll have to do the more tricky manual CAB method.That will do the job but obviously it won't include any firmware. C'est la vie.
Let us know in the comments if you've had success with the forcing trick to get the update.

(CNN) -- A federal judge in New Orleans Tuesday approved a $4 billion plea agreement for criminal fines and penalties against oil giant BP for the 2010 Gulf oil spill, the largest criminal penalty in U.S. history.
U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Vance imposed the terms that the Justice Department and BP had agreed to last November, which include the oil company pleading guilty to 14 criminal counts -- among them, felony manslaughter charges -- and the payment of a record $4 billion in criminal penalties over five years.
Vance's ruling came after hearing from eight witnesses Tuesday, including family members of those killed, cleanup workers, and members of the Southeast Asian Fisherfolks Association.
The plea agreement is with the oil company and not with indicted individual employees, so it doesn't result in anyone going to jail.
Two high-ranking supervisors on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig have been indicted on 23 counts, including manslaughter, for allegedly ignoring warning signs of a possible blowout on the rig. It caught fire April 20, 2010, resulting in the deaths of 11 workers. Those separate criminal cases remain in litigation.
Luke Keller, a vice president of BP America, Inc., apologized again in court Tuesday for his company's role in the accident.
"We -- and by that I mean the men and the women of the management of BP, its board of directors, and its many employees -- are deeply sorry for the tragic loss of the 11 men who died and the others who were injured that day," said Keller. "Our guilty plea makes clear, BP understands and acknowledges its role in that tragedy, and we apologize -- BP apologizes -- to all those injured and especially to the families of the lost loved ones. BP is also sorry for the harm to the environment that resulted from the spill, and we apologize to the individuals and communities who were injured."
The London-based oil giant also agreed to pay $525 million over three years to settle claims with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the company concealed information from investors.
The oil firm has not agreed with the Justice Department on a separate civil settlement involving federal and state claims of damages to natural resources. At stake are potential fines for violations of the Clean Water Act, which could range from $5 billion to almost $20 billion if BP is found guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct. That case is being heard by another federal court in New Orleans.
According to Justice Department officials, $1.3 billion of the $4 billion fine will go to the government, nearly $2.4 billion will go to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and $350 million will go to the National Academy of Sciences.

VALLEY CITY, N.D. (AP) — The owner of a North Dakota coffee shop is flattered his decision to operate the business on the honor system garnered international attention earlier this summer, but those who equate it to the goodness of all humanity might want to help themselves to a decaf K-Cup.
David Brekke says it's about small-town living where people know their neighbors.
Brekke and his wife, Kimberly, run The Vault coffee shop in Valley City, a town of about 6,700 people that's about 45 minutes from Fargo. They renovated a nearly 100-year-old bank building and cut down on overhead by cutting out baristas.
The food and drink is located on a refurbished teller counter at the front of the shop. Coffee lovers can choose java from a commercial brewer, complete with gourmet creams and flavorings, or individual servings from a Keurig brewing system, or K-Cups. There also are soft drinks and homemade pastries.
This unusual setup has given customers a sense of ownership, helped revitalize the city's downtown — and, in the first 10 months of the business, brought in about 15 percent more money than the asking price.
"I think that people who haven't grown up in a small, tight-knit community like this are very surprised by honesty," Brekke said.
For David Brekke, who works from home as a business consultant, the idea seemed logical. He grew up in a small town in Minnesota where one of his neighbors used to leave corn on the cob in the yard with a cardboard box as cash register.
"Nobody ever took the box with the money in it," Brekke said.
The Vault's customers can pay by credit card, cash or check. There's a note below the cash slot that says "No. I.O.U.s." Another placard notes that exact change is not necessary ... "round down and give yourself a break or round up and help us stay in business."
Yes, there are security cameras, but so far there hasn't been much to view, Brekke said.
Brekke has turned the space with high ceilings, mammoth windows and unique architecture into a gallery of sorts. It features artwork by local artists, used books for sale, two pianos, Wi-Fi and a cupboard with games. Much of the furniture was donated by residents.
"When people heard about it, they just started dropping things off, to make it work," Brekke said.
It has become the hub of Central Avenue. In addition to regular gatherings, the shop hosts concerts, independent film screenings and club meetings. Next year a wedding is planned. Customers can stay as long as they like, but the shop closes at 9 p.m. in the summer and 10 p.m. in the winter.
Nita Warcken, 14, said she and her friends like to visit a place where they don't feel hassled.
"I like the self-serve. There's not someone like hovering over you all the time," she said.
Margaret Schneider, an insurance agent from Fargo whose territory is Valley City, said she had been setting up shop at the town library but likes the fact she can eat and drink and talk with people at The Vault.
"The regulars who come in here have become friends of mine," she said. "It's a nice meeting place. You don't have to spend a lot of money and you don't have to be bored."

We offer a Free quote and UK design service, get in touch today.
Basketball facilities are very popular with many organisations like leisure centres and schools having them installed in either macadam or polymeric rubber surfacing. The dimensions and sizes can vary depending on the specification of each facility and how much space is available when the initial installation takes places. Usually, the standard dimensions used by the NBA are 28.65m by 15.24m, so these are the recommended sizes for professional facilities. However this is not a set rule and other courts which are used for recreational use in areas which may not have enough space to install the full sized space can be constructed in smaller dimensions. The surface size could be altered to help you cut costs if you are on a tight budget, other factors including basketball court surface types http://www.basketballcourtcontractors.co.uk/surfacing/ can also make a difference to the price.
Would you like to hear more information on basketball flooring dimensions? Please feel free to contact our team of experts through completing the contact form. Our specialists are happy to give you all the information and details you require in order to get the best results possible.
Multi use games areas and dual purpose sports facilities may be installed in a range of sizes and basketball surface dimensions to suit a number of different sports and activities such as netball, tennis and football. Line markings for each of these sports can be applied to these surface dimensions in anti slip paint to create a versatile facility, which is ideal for schools. In many cases, these line markings are very beneficial due to space that they save. Schools commonly choose MUGAs to be installed in their playground as they do not have the required space for seperate areas. However, MUGAs work just as well as normal spaces because the line markings are usually painted in a different colour. This way, the players will know which sports lines are related to the sport they are playing.
As the area size and basketball surface dimensions can vary, this means the costs to install the sports facility will also change for each project. Obviously a larger area size will cost more to install than one which is smaller, this is why choosing to have a smaller ball court installed can help cut costs to stick within a specific budget. The specification and surface type will also have an effect on the costs of building the sports spacein as the different surfacing options have their own individual qualities which are better suited to certain activities. A selection of extra features including floodlights and basketball court fencing http://www.basketballcourtcontractors.co.uk/fencing/ can also be included with the building process to complete the whole facility.
The dimensions of a basketball court can vary depending upon a number of reasons. If you're looking for a professional court which is suitable for experienced players, you may wish to install a NBA sized court. However we are able to produce smaller pitches which can be better suited for nearby schools and sport clubs. When producing the courts, we will also alter the line markings http://www.basketballcourtcontractors.co.uk/line-markings/ so that they are right for the size of your basketball surface. We have years of experience and specialist knowledge in order to provide you with exactly what you are looking for. Fill in the contact form provided if you're wanting to find out more information and speak to our specialist team.
A proactive maintenance plan is the best way to ensure that the court does not come across much damage. This can help reduce the costs as a large repair will cost more than maintenance. To carry out this maintenance you should;
If you require any fixes on your flooring, please feel free to contact us asking for our service. Our team are always happy to help and we want to ensure that you are filled in on all the information you need.
Deciding upon the basketball surface dimensions is important before you start looking for prices and quotes to carry out the work. This is because most sport surfacing contractors offer a price estimate based on the area size among other variables such as site location and the existing ground conditions. If you'd like a quote for the installation or maintenance of a facility, please send us over your details through our contact form and we'll offer you some professional advice and an idea of costs for the project.

#1 Fire Watch Services in Texas
Avoid fines and business shutdown Call 844-707-0574 and hire the best Firewatch guards now
Why You Need To Hire a Fire Watch Guard
Fire watch services in Texas keep vulnerable property, equipment, and people safe from dangerous fire hazards. Typically, Firewatch guards are deployed in an area where hot work is taking place, where a fire alarm or sprinkler system is malfunctioning or down, or in the wake of a natural disaster that caused a power outage. They act as an extra safety measure to keep valuable capital, infrastructure, and any people on the premise out of harm's way due to an unforeseen fire.
While only a temporary solution during the interim is that fire systems are not working properly, Firewatch guards are extremely important because, at these times, property is at extremely high-risk for ignition. Whether the risk is the type of work being performed or the lack of other safety measures, a Firewatch company can serve as peace of mind that the things that are most important will be out of harm's way.
Fires do not discriminate. Tragic fire accidents can cause complete losses in warehouses, businesses, factories, apartment buildings, or hotels. Choosing the right fireguard company is an important component of proactive crisis management for any commercial structure. Fast Guard Service Fire Watch Guards provides reliable, expert-level Firewatch guards to ensure fire won't damage or destroy any property.
Fast Guard Service USA Offers the Following Fire Watch Services:
• General Firewatch
• Around the clock 24 Hour Firewatch
• Security services for Firewatch
• Maintenance of Firewatch logs
• Security Guards for operations of fire detection systems
• Final approval of fire detection systems by Fire Marshall
• Company-serviced Firewatch
Fire Watch for Hot Work
Hot work includes construction processes such as welding, soldering, brazing, riveting, or flame cutting. The US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration outlines the official safety requirements for these kinds of hot work, which include Firewatch guards in some cases. At Fast Guard Service, LLC, all our Firewatch guards are fully OSHA-certified to ensure that you get the credible and reliable Firewatch services your business or property needs.
As stated by OSHA's general requirements for welding, cutting, and brazing, Firewatchers are required in locations where there is welding or cutting and any of the following circumstances are present:
• A minor fire may develop
• Combustible material is within 35 ft. of work performance
• Openings within that 35-ft radius expose nearby combustible material
• Combustible materials located on opposite sides of metal separators such as partitions, walls, or ceilings could likely ignite by a result of radiation or conduction
Usually, before a hot work permit is issued, an outline of Firewatch needs is provided in the contract. The area must be inspected for common fire culprits such as dirty rags, trash, fuel sources, and any flammable liquids.
When you call Fast Guard Service, we will dispatch an OSHA-certified guard to provide hot work guarding services. The Firewatch guard will monitor all exposed areas for possible fire. They will know how to sound alarms immediately if the fire is detected. Their only duty is monitoring for fire, so as to ensure full focus on maintaining safety. Their full surveillance continues on for 30 minutes after hot work is completed, to allow all equipment and materials to cool down completely.
Fire Watch During Malfunctioning or Down Fire Detection Systems
It's crucial to maintain a constant fire detection system. Ideally, this means properly working sprinkler systems, fire and smoke detectors, fire extinguishing systems, and water supplies. Sometimes, one or all these aspects of the system may be malfunctioning, compromised, or altogether not working. To provide the necessary fire guard services during these system-down times, Fast Guard Services has the professional and fully certified guards you need.
At times, impairments may be planned maintenance periods that must regularly occur. Examples of scheduled impairments include building renovations or system updates. Unplanned impairments can also occur due to damage, outdated infrastructure, electrical faultiness, or a leak. Depending on what the issue is and what caused it, it may be a lengthy repair time, creating an interim impairment that puts the entire location at risk. During these vulnerable periods of time, there are lives, equipment, and property at stake that must be protected from any threat of fire or explosion.
While the proper maintenance repairs are made to the fire detection system, a human detection system is the next best thing to keep everyone and everything on site safe. Since they are inevitable events whether planned or unplanned, it's a good idea to have a chosen company for Firewatch guards on hand so that backup is just one call away. A Fast Guard Service Firewatch guard can act as that physical fire detection system, thoroughly maintaining safe conditions and ensuring the entire area is not under immediate threat.
One fireguard can make the difference between a catastrophe and a minor accident. Keeping them around the clock during the period of impairment is the best defense against potentially disastrous incidents. As soon as a faulty fire detection system is noticed, Fast Guard Service is able to immediately dispatch licensed Firewatch guards to the scene. Fast Guard Service's Firewatch guards will also remain on location until the full functions of the fire detection system are operational and the entire system has been inspected and certified by the Fire Marshall.
The Duties of a Fire Watch Guard
Our Firewatch services will meet the needs of each job while following a set of protocols and tasks that are applicable to all situations. Once local personnel familiarizes our guards with the layout of the area, they will conduct regular rounds of the entire location.
Depending on the needs of the location, rounds can be performed every 15 minutes or every hour. Rounds include checking all emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and high-risk ignition areas. Guards arrive equipped with all the materials needed for an efficient and safe notification and evacuation in case of fire. They will have keys that access the full building and all materials used to record information on each round.
Guards will report on the start and end times of each round, any problem areas they noticed, and any communications with the Department of Public Safety or local fire departments.
