The fire experts at it again

Well I finnaly got to see the fire system that was installed at my wifes church by one of the big prominant alarm companys here in pittsburgh and i would be embarrased and horrified to put my name on it. wire sloppily hung all over the place and not properly secured and that goes for the conduit and instead of using addressable smokes off the vista 128 panel they ran 4 wire smokes everywhere meaning extra cables every where what an embaarssment the only reason ifigure they do not use addressable is becuse none of there installers and techs are smart enough to use them . yea but they go around calling them selves the fire alarm experts in pittsburgh and there the same company that hanged a bull rope down a shaft to install fire wiring on it.

That reminds me of an installation I saw the other day. Exposed fire cable everywhere. Tacked to the bottom of beams and stretched across open bays. I'm sure it was a "DIY" job and that there was never a permit pulled. The amazing thing is that it was VERIFIED by the equipment manufacturer. In Canada, the Verification Standard (ULC/CAN4-S537) refers to the Installation Standard (ULC/CAN4-S524) and the Building and Electrical Codes. Obviously the individual performing the Verification Inspection decided to utilize his own standard. I think most here call it a "paycheque" ("paycheck" for you folks in "Bush-Land").

I didn't know camphor was used in chemo. The whole ride stinks though. They gave me "antiemitics" (not sure about the spelling) to prevent nausea, too. That wasn't as bad as the Neulasta and it helped when reading ASA sometimes.

Just keep going. You'll get through this crap and it does get better after a while.

My older brother (the one Leuck thinks is my son) also went through it. He had the identical cancer to mine -- same type, same location and same cause. By the time they found it he was stage IV. It went from the lung to the brain and the lymphatic system. After brain surgery the doctor came out and said the surgery was a success but he wouldn't live more than 2-5 months. That was about 9 or 10 years ago. Mike's still around and he's cancer free.

My wife and I are praying for you. I don't know if/what you believe but this is one of those rare instances where I agree with Olson. Don't give up.

Leuck has never said anything about your son or the rest of your family
