Pinkerton is the second studio album by the American alternative rock band Weezer, released on September 24, 1996 on DGC Records. After abandoning plans for a rock opera titled Songs from the Black Hole, Weezer recorded Pinkerton between songwriter Rivers Cuomo's terms at Harvard University, where he wrote much of the album.
To better capture their live sound, Weezer produced Pinkerton themselves, creating a darker, more abrasive album than their 1994 self-titled debut. Cuomo's lyrics express disillusionment with the rock lifestyle; the album is named after the character BF Pinkerton from Giacomo Puccini's 1904 opera Madama Butterfly, whom Cuomo described as an "asshole American sailor similar to a touring rock star". Like the opera, the album contains references to Japan and Japanese culture.
Pinkerton debuted at number 19 on the Billboard 200 and fell far short of sales expectations after the success of their debut. It initially received negative reviews, but went on to achieve cult status and wide acclaim years later; the 2010 "Deluxe Edition" reissue holds a perfect score on aggregate review website Metacritic.[5] The album produced three singles: "El Scorcho", "The Good Life" and "Pink Triangle". Pinkerton was the last Weezer album to feature bassist Matt Sharp.
In 1994, after the multi-platinum success of Weezer's self-titled debut album, Weezer took a break from touring for the Christmas holidays.[6] In his home state of Connecticut, songwriter Rivers Cuomo began preparing material for Weezer's next album using an 8-track recorder.[7] His original concept was a science fiction rock opera titled Songs from the Black Hole,[7] featuring songs that segued seamlessly and ending with a coda that revisited the album's major musical elements.[6] Weezer developed Songs from the Black Hole through intermittent recording sessions throughout 1995.[8]
In March, Cuomo, who was born with one leg shorter than the other, had extensive leg surgery to lengthen his right leg, followed by painful physiotherapy sessions. This affected his songwriting, as he would spend long periods hospitalized, unable to walk without the use of a cane, and under the influence of painkillers.[9] In the same period, Cuomo applied to study at Harvard University with an application letter describing how disillusioned he was with the rock lifestyle, writing:
Fans ask me all the time what it is like to be a rock star. I can tell that they are dreaming, as I dreamed, when I was a kid, of someday ruling the world with a rock band. I tell them the same thing I would tell any young rock-star-to-be [...] you will get lonely. You will meet two-hundred people every night, but each conversation will generally last approximately thirty seconds, and consist of you trying to convince them that no, you do not want their underwear. Then you will be alone again, in your motel room. Or you will be on your bus, in your little space, trying to kill the nine hours it takes to get to the next city, whichever city it is. This is the life of a rock star.[10]
By May 1996, Cuomo's songwriting had become "darker, more visceral and exposed, less playful", and the Songs from the Black Hole concept had been abandoned.[11] Weezer's second album would instead feature songs written while Cuomo was at Harvard, chronicling his loneliness and frustration, or what Cuomo referred to as his "dark side".[7][12]
In 1996, a few days before Cuomo left to study at Harvard University, the band gathered for two weeks of recording at New York City's Electric Lady Studios, where they had recorded their debut, and tracked the songs "Why Bother?", "Getchoo", "No Other One" and "Tired of Sex".[13][14] Weezer hoped to explore "deeper, darker, more experimental stuff"[14] which would better resemble the band's live sound;[15] to this end, they decided against hiring a producer, feeling that "the best way for us to sound like ourselves is to record on our own."[16] To give the album a live, "raw" feel, Cuomo, guitarist Brian Bell and bassist Matt Sharp recorded their vocals in tandem around three microphones rather than overdubbing them separately.[17]
While Cuomo was at Harvard, other Weezer members worked on side projects.[18] Sharp promoted his band the Rentals' debut album,[18] and Bell and drummer Patrick Wilson worked on material for their bands the Space Twins and the Special Goodness respectively.[13][18] In January 1996, during Cuomo's winter break, Weezer regrouped for a two-week recording session at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California to complete the songs they had worked on the previous August.[19] After recording new songs "El Scorcho" and "Pink Triangle", Weezer separated again while Cuomo returned to Harvard.[19]
During Cuomo's spring break, the band regrouped at Sound City Studios and recorded three new songs, "The Good Life", "Across the Sea" and "Falling for You", before Cuomo returned to Harvard for his university finals.[20] Weezer put the finishing touches on the album in the summer of 1996 in Los Angeles. Two additional tracks, "I Swear It's True" and "Getting Up and Leaving", were abandoned prior to the mixing process.[21]
Writing and composition[edit]
Pinkerton features a darker, more abrasive sound than Weezer's debut.[2][22] Writing from a more direct and personal perspective,[23] Cuomo wrote of his dysfunctional relationships, sexual frustration and struggles with identity.[17][24][25][26][27] The album charts his "cycle between 'lame-o and partier'."[28] At just under thirty-five minutes, Pinkerton is, according to Cuomo, "short by design."[17]
The album's first song, "Tired of Sex", written before the release of the Blue Album,[29] has Cuomo describing meaningless sex encounters with groupies, reciting his list of encounters and wondering why true love eludes him.[17] Lead single "El Scorcho" addresses Cuomo's shyness and inability to approach a girl while at Harvard; he explained that the song "is more about me, because at that point I hadn't even talked to the girl, I didn't really know much about her."[26] Second single "The Good Life" chronicles the rebirth of Cuomo after an identity crisis as an Ivy League loner. Cuomo, who felt isolated at Harvard, wrote the song after "becoming frustrated with that hermit's life I was leading, the ascetic life. And I think I was starting to become frustrated with my whole dream about purifying myself and trying to live like a monk or an intellectual and going to school and holding out for this perfect, ideal woman. And so I wrote the song. And I started to turn around and come back the other way."[25][26] The album's final single, "Pink Triangle", describes a man who falls in love and wants to get married, but discovers the object of his devotion is a lesbian.[27] "Across the Sea" was inspired by a letter Cuomo received from a Japanese fan: "When I got the letter, I fell in love with her. It was such a great letter. I was very lonely at the time, but at the same time I was very depressed that I would never meet her. Even if I did see her, she was probably some fourteen-year-old girl, who didn't speak English."[25]
Pinkerton is named after the character BF Pinkerton from Puccini's 1904 opera Madama Butterfly, whom marries a Japanese woman named Butterfly.[30] Calling him an "asshole American sailor similar to a touring rock star", Cuomo felt the character was "the perfect symbol for the part of myself that I am trying to come to terms with on this album."[31] Other titles considered included Playboy and Diving into the Wreck (after a poem by Adrienne Rich).[31] Like Madama Butterfly, the album views Japanese culture from the perspective of an outsider who considers Japan fragile and sensual;[32] the album's themes infuse the Japanese allusions with its first-person narrator's romantic disappointments and sexual frustration.[22] Cuomo felt that Pinkerton "is really the clash of East vs West. My hindu, zen, kyokushin, self-denial, self-abnegation, no-emotion, cool-faced side versus my Italian-American heavy metal side."[33] He stated that "the ten songs are sequenced in the order in which I wrote them (with two minor exceptions). So as a whole, the album kind of tells the story of my struggle with my inner Pinkerton."[34]
The artwork on the album's cover is Kambara yoru no yuki ("Night snow at Kambara"), print number 16 in Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige's popular 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō series.[35] Lyrics from Madama Butterfly are printed on the Pinkerton CD in their original Italian: "Everywhere in the world, the roving Yankee takes his pleasure and his profit, indifferent to all risks. He drops anchor at random..."[36] Behind the album's CD tray is a map with the title "Isola della farfalla e penisola di cane" (Italian for "Island of the Butterfly and Peninsula of Dog");[36] on the map are a ship named USS Pinkerton and "Mykel and Carli Island", an allusion to Weezer's fan club founders. In a 2005 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Cuomo explained that the names listed on the map are those who influenced him during the writing of the album, with Howard Stern being one of those influences.[37] Other names include Yngwie Malmsteen, Brian Wilson, Lou Barlow, Joe Matt, Camille Paglia and Ace Frehley.[36][38]
Geffen A&R rep Todd Sullivan described Pinkerton as a "very brave record," but worried: "What sort of light does this put the band in? It could have been interpreted as them being a disposable pop band."[27] The label was pleased with the record and felt that "no one's going to be disappointed".[27]
Weezer turned down a video treatment for lead single "El Scorcho" proposed by Spike Jonze, who had previously helped raise the band's status with his videos for "Undone – The Sweater Song" and "Buddy Holly". Cuomo explained: "I really don't want the songs to come across untainted this time around... I really want to communicate my feelings directly and because I was so careful in writing that way. I'd hate for the video to kinda misrepresent the song, or exaggerate certain aspects."[23] The final video featured the band playing in an assembly hall in Los Angeles, surrounded by light fixtures flashing in time to the music.[26] Mark Romanek, the video's director, quit after numerous arguments with Cuomo, leaving Cuomo to edit the video himself.[39] The video debuted on MTV's 120 Minutes and received moderate airplay.[23]
A day before Pinkerton was to be released on September 24, 1996, a restraining order was obtained against the band and Geffen by Encino, California-based security firm Pinkerton's Inc. The company sued Weezer and Geffen for alleged federal trademark infringement, claiming they were trying to capitalize on the company's reputation.[40] Under the terms of the restraining order, which had Pinkerton's Inc seeking two million dollars in damages, Weezer would be kept from "selling, distributing, or advertising an album with the name Pinkerton."[41] Geffen spokesman Dennis Dennehy defended the title, arguing that "to Weezer, Pinkerton is a character in Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly... It was not meant to be aimed at any sort of corporate entity."[42] Cuomo wrote a six-page paper defending his choice of the title, explaining "why I chose it, and how it works for the album, and how it's essential."[43] The case was thrown out of court after the judge determined that "the hardship of not issuing the Pinkerton disc would be greater for Geffen than any hardship Pinkerton's Inc or its shareholders might incur from consumers who mistakenly presume the company has anything to do with the album."[43]
As it became apparent that Pinkerton was not meeting expected sales figures, Weezer felt pressure to make another music video more to the liking of MTV.[44] The music video for "The Good Life", directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, stars Mary Lynn Rajskub as a pizza delivery girl and uses simultaneous camera angles appearing on screen as a fractured full image.[44] Geffen rush-released the video to try to save the commercially failing album, but was not successful.[45]
In October 1996, the band toured the Far East with concert appearances in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.[46] Afterwards, the band flew home to Los Angeles, where Patrick Wilson and Matt Sharp made a promotional appearance on the nationally syndicated radio show Modern Rock Live in an attempt to improve the album's standing on the US album charts.[46] A few days later, on November 1, Weezer launched its tour of North America at the Ventura Theatre in Ventura, California.[46] On November 6, Weezer performed an acoustic set at Shorecrest High School in Seattle due to a contest won by a student.[45] A few of the songs performed at the acoustic set were released in 1997 on the Good Life EP.[47] The band continued to tour until Christmas 1996.[48]
In July 2009, Karl Koch, the webmaster for Weezer's website, revealed that Weezer was preparing a "deluxe edition" of Pinkerton.[49] On November 20, 2010, the reissue debuted at number six on the Billboard Catalog Albums chart[50] and re-entered the Billboard 200 at number 73.[51]

Initial reception[edit]
Pinkerton peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard charts,[61] falling far short of sales of its multi-platinum predecessor, The Blue Album.[62] It received a mixed reaction from critics.[63][64] Jeff Gordinier of Entertainment Weekly criticized Weezer's choice to self-produce the album and dismissed it as "a collection of get-down party anthems for agoraphobics".[52] Writing for Rolling Stone, Rob O'Connor called the songwriting "juvenile" and described the song "Tired of Sex" as "aimless".[58] Rolling Stone readers voted the album the third worst of 1996.[65] Melody Maker praised Pinkerton's music, but advised the listener "to ignore the lyrics entirely."[66] NME praised the album, writing that "by the time the affecting acoustic lament 'Butterfly' wafts in like Big Star at a wildlife protection meeting, Pinkerton starts feeling like a truly moving album."[67] Pitchfork awarded the album 7.5 out of 10, writing that "Pinkerton might actually be a bit much for fans who were wooed with the clean production and immediately accessible sound of these guys' debut, but if given a chance, it might surprise even some anti-Weezer folk."[68]
Cuomo was embarrassed by the album's mixed reception and the confessional nature of its songs. On August 13, 1997, he wrote: "This has been a tough year. It's not just that the world has said Pinkerton isn't worth a shit, but that the Blue album wasn't either. It was a fluke. It was the video. I'm a shitty songwriter."[69] In 2001, Cuomo told Entertainment Weekly: "It's a hideous record... It was such a hugely painful mistake that happened in front of hundreds of thousands of people and continues to happen on a grander and grander scale and just won't go away. It's like getting really drunk at a party and spilling your guts in front of everyone and feeling incredibly great and cathartic about it, and then waking up the next morning and realizing what a complete fool you made of yourself."[70][71] By 2008, Cuomo had reconsidered the album, saying: "Pinkerton's great. It's super-deep, brave, and authentic. Listening to it, I can tell that I was really going for it when I wrote and recorded a lot of those songs."[72]
Despite its mixed initial reception, Pinkerton has had enduring sales and in later years has garnered critical acclaim, garnering cult status through internet word-of-mouth,[73][74] and eventually came to be considered among Weezer's best work by both fans and critics.[75][2][76] In 2002, Rolling Stone readers voted it the 16th greatest album of all time.[77] In 2004, Rolling Stone gave the album a new review, awarding it five stars out of five and adding it to the "Rolling Stone Hall of Fame".[59] Drowned in Sound praised it as "the ultimate break-up album, the best unrequited love album and the greatest collection of confused emotions captured in the universe... EVER!"[78] Guitar World ranked it #76 on its list of the "Top 100 Guitar Albums of All-Time".[79] New Zealand's The Movement placed it #12 on its list of "The 101 Best Albums of the 90s, "[80] and Pure Pop of Mexico ranked it #21 on its list of "The 50 Best Albums of the 90s."[81] It received perfect scores from both AllMusic[2] and Tiny Mix Tapes, the latter calling it "one of the best albums of the 20th century."[22] In 2005, Spin named it number 61 in its list of the 100 best albums from 1985 to 2005.[82] In 2003, Pitchfork placed the album at #53 on their "Top 100 Albums of the 1990s" list, and also gave it a perfect rating.[83] The "Deluxe Edition" reissue holds a perfect score on aggregate review website Metacritic.[5] By August 2009, Pinkerton had sold 852,000 copies in the United States,[84] and was certified gold.[85]
Pinkerton has been influential on several acts, including Manchester Orchestra,[86] Yellowcard, Saves the Day, Taking Back Sunday, The Ataris, Thursday, the Used, The Brobecks, Dashboard Confessional, The Promise Ring,[87] The Long Goodbye, and Rye Coalition[88] have cited it as an influence.[4][89]
In 2010, Brian Bell told The Aquarian Weekly: "Pinkerton has definitely taken on a life of its own and became more successful and more accepted. At the time, it wasn't especially critically acclaimed. In fact, I think it was one of the worst records of the year by Rolling Stone that year, and then later it was hailed. That just goes to show the fickleness of the music business and industry. As an artist, you just have to do what you believe in at the time, whether it's accepted or not. You just have to keep going with it."[90]

Simply Beautiful Beading
Posted October 5, 2012
Not as great as I had hoped.
Don't get me wrong, this was an interesting book with very easy to follow, well planned instructiins and some if the designs are gorgeous. In fact I have seen a couple of the designs from this book featured in a collaborative book or two. That being said, let me tell you.why I personally wasn't super impressed. First, while the book tells you, for each design, which beads are used and who made them, they can be extremely hard to find. And for me, a lot of the designs are just unwearable. They are just not my style, and a few are honestly just plain ugly to me. Now despite all this I definitely do not regret buying this book. As a beginner beader, while I may not particularly like a.piece, I learn a LOT from the design and technique. Aditionally. Some of the pieces are really beautiful. So if you're a beginner looking for an easy-to-use beading book, I say buy it as there is much to be learned from technique and each step is very well explained and photographed.

Dynamite Crape Myrtle Trees are a spectacular addition to any southern landscape. The bright red blooms on this smaller growing crape myrtle tree are in huge clusters. From the wonderfully smooth bark to the dark green foliage and then onto the orange red fall color, the Dynamite Crape Myrtle is an amazing summer to fall show off!
Traveling to visit one of our great quality nursery suppliers several summers ago, I stopped into a small drive in restaurant for a quick bite before heading on my way. There was this magnificent Dynamite Crape Myrtle Tree in full bloom and I just had to circle back around just to snap this photo.
Every season, we sell out early on this one. Crape Myrtle Dynamites are a great size to use as borders or screens, but you may want this one placed in three's spaced about 10 feet apart. This crape myrtle is perfect for small yards.
Easy to plant, and easy to grow!
Crape Myrtle Tip: Plant in full sun for optimum flowering. They can be fussy flowering trees. If they receive any blocking from the sun for several hours during the day, such as a building or larger tree, it is likely to inhibit their blooming.

Dawn Roe Documents Airport Transformation
Art alum Dawn Roe is using photography and video to chronicle the expansion at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
In honor of the 100th birthday of William Stafford, an Oregon poet-laureate, the Portland Society for Calligraphy has organized the William Stafford Calligraphy Project, an exhibit of calligraphic renderings of some of Mr. Stafford's poems and other writings.
The works have been developed by members of the society and include both framed broadsides and artists books. This show will travel to various venues throughout the state in 2014.
We are happy to announce that the first showing of the exhibit will be held in the Streff Gallery at Marylhurst University. The public is invited to attend an opening reception in the Streff Gallery on Thursday, April 3, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate, will attend the reception and present a reading of a few of Stafford's poems featured in the exhibit.
William Stafford's rich body of work will provide the unifying theme of this show. Visitors will not only have the chance to enjoy his writings, they will also have the chance to see how calligraphers use design, color, and choice of script to express their reactions to his work.
Please join us in celebrating 100th birthday of this talented poet and generous-spirited man.

How many departments allow the first in engine take their own plug on confirmed working structures. If not attach, to it just lay a line in. Yes the question being now the road from that direction is blocked by hose, or their might be rescue etc. But I am trying to introduce the concept to my dept to prevent having the d/o hand jack 300' of LDH to catch a plug. Any Comments.

I guess i will clarify: reintroduce the concept. A number of years back we had a coupling catch a turn table which resulted in a broken tib/fib. Since then the concept has been abandoned. Like most thing we are reactionaly instead of learning from and moving on. I figure to prevent a back injury or worse yet a code. I will research the concept again and try to get at least one of the three rigs to lay a line in to the scene. This will be tough due to the previous incident but moving forward is a concept i like.

Too many factors to consider for pretty much anyone to offer solid advice without a lot more info...
How far out are your 2nd, 3rd due engines? How big of a tank does your 1st due have? Are you talking a room and contents fire, a well-involved structure that's autovented, or fully-involved? Big fire needs big water...and if you're flowing 300GPM off a 2.5" line, or even 800ish GPM from a master stream, your tank water isn't going to last long--300GPM with a 3k gallon tank will last ya 10 mins...but how many pumpers carry 3000gals with them? Hell, we have big engines, and their max capacity is 2500gals.
Another factor to consider is how long is your lay-in going to be and how good are your hydrants? You may need to relay just to get sufficient water to the attack engine.
If your 2nd due is 3 mins behind you, it shouldn't be that big a deal to work off tank water for a couple mins, particularly if you have a large tank and are working 1.5"-1.75" handlines.
Most areas of the cities in my county are pretty well-hydranted--you rarely have to go further than 200 feet or so to find one, and they're damn good-flowing ones, too. But if I was in an area where the hydrants were sparser, I'd stop at the plug, toss my drops overboard, and lay-in to the scene...assuming of course there was actually smoke/flame showing...I'd have the 2nd-in snag the hydrant and connect to my supply line and relay to me.
Of course, until you can get your dept SOPs changed, you should follow whatever your dept says to do.My opinions might coincide with someone of importance's POV... I wouldn't know, since I never bothered to ask. My policy is: "Don't ask, don't care."

Whether or not the 1st due eng catches its own hydrant depends on a few things for us.
1. How far away is the closest hydrant located. Is the driver able to hand jack his own line.
2. How far away is the 2nd due eng?
If there is a hydrant in the front yard or with in about 100'-200' of the house then most of the time the 1st driver will get his own line. We don't have a set policy. It is the 1st due drivers decision on whether he wants a line laid or if he wants to catch his own.
Our standard operating procedures allow for dropping a line if there is a confirmed working fire. And in my opinion, any volunteer operation that has manpower problems during the day (whats that- about 90% of volunteer operations?) that DOES NOT allow for the first in engine company to drop in needs to have their heads examined??
-How much fire is there? Are you confident and proficient enough to hit it and knock it down on your 500 or 750 gallon tank?
-How many Firefighters are on the first in piece? Can you afford to waste the driver as a firefighting resource? Lets say you have a 4-man company. D/O, Officer and 2. One FF catches the plug. Rig drops to the address, not forgetting to stop short allowing room for the truck company. Then the other FF and the Officer pull a line and the irons to the front door, force it if necessary, and begin the initial attack as soon as the D/O gives them tank water. Then he prepares to receive the supply line by breaking it and connecting to the inlet. Make the switchover from tank to supply line, and then assist the plug FF stretching the backup line to the front door.
Driver then checks his pressures and engine gauges, dons his turnout gear, then grabs a 6 or 10 foot hook and starts taking out windows opposite the nozzle if it has not already been done.
Anyone who is first in, and does not drop in (IMHO) is tactically stupid."Loyalty Above all Else. Except Honor."
Our officers have the option to, and are generally encouraged to, drop a LDH supply line any time that they feel it would be advantageous. It doesn't have to be a confirmed working fire, a simple report of a fire will often result in the supply line hitting the ground off the first-due engine.
Our SOG's dictate that the first-due engine officer has the responsibility of handling water supply assignment. That could mean that he has his driver wrap the hydrant, or have the 2nd due engine lay into them, or reverse out. That being said, the first due engine still lays out 95% of the time.
Our engines carry 750 gallons (no foam, unfortunately), so we're able to sustain our own until the 2nd arriving engine is able to put us on the hydrant.
As for blocking the other apparatus, that is something to be careful of. Lay to the opposite side of the street to give the truck (and other apparatus) room, or, as we often do, give assignments enroute that the truck company approaches from the opposite direction (when possible), so they won't have to worry about the supply line...

I was always taught that each engine should take their own hydrant. This allows for redundency if one engine were to loose water.
Where I am at now, it is more common for the 1st due to wrap the hydrant and proceed to the fire. The second due will hook up to the hydrant, and hook the 1st due to their truck, and pump the first due. One engine is always on the hydrant. The problem I have noticed with this, is all attack and back up lines come off the 1st due engine. Loose water, loose your attack. Thats a rear end clenching, uh oh, for everyone. The only exception is if master streams are required. The engine pumping the ladder, or the ladder themself will hook up to their own hydrant.Co 11

Amateurs practice until they get it right; professionals practice until they cannot get it wrong. Which one are you?
'The fire went out and nobody got hurt' is a poor excuse for a fireground critique.
See, when we wisely realize tactics depend on many factors, we can avoid making asinine statements like the above. Some departments may have the manpower issues that require laying their own lines on all fires, so it would be foolish to not do so. It's also not a good idea when you're going to be pulling 2 1/2 or flowing an 1 3/4 at a higher flow, or if you don't have the *** to scull drag.
We have pumpers coming in on top of us and they can lay a line quickly enough to keep it from being neccesary to leave a guy hooking up. That way we have three guys to advance the line and make the attack. You can do it with two guys or one, but three makes it faster.
Why stop short of the building?
we do have our first piece hit the hydrant most times on a working fire. however usually the truck1 and engine1 pieces come in from different ways, so the hose that's laid in isn't a problem.
we did have one problem recently where we laid into a fire, and the truck back up over the hose, and broke the hose, and we had to hit a 2nd hydrant. so there are problems that could happen from this
sorry for the 2x post, but i forgot to answer the why stop short question.
we try to have the engine stop short of the house so that the truck and position itself in front of the building. that way (both first due pieces in my town are ladders) the first due truck can raise the ladder to the building. if the engine is directly in front of the building, then the aerial can't be raised, and only ground ladders can be used.
Here we usually lay in and drop a FF to make the connection and get water. if the truck is close behind us or the medic unit .....we will 'tag" the hydrant and let one of them finish it.IACOJ both divisions and PROUD OF IT !
Pardon me sir.. .....but I believe we are all over here !

Allow me to re-phrase.....If you are in a known or potentially manpower short situation (many, many volunteer organizations during the daytime) and you are first in to a confirmed job, IMHO, you are tactically stupid if you dont drop a line. You said it yourself- "We have pumpers coming in on top of us and they can lay a line quickly enough to keep it from being neccesary to leave a guy hooking up." My apologies for not clarifying my earlier statement.
And why stop short? As I said, to leave room for the truck company, of course! That can be adjusted of course, to pull past if your lines come off the back......I just like to stop short because our preconnects come off the side, and it's easier for the Truck to get in without dealing with that 5 inch snake in their way......

The earlier scenerio I presented (first due with Officer, D/O and 2 FF's) was practically an everyday occurrance at my career house- many a time, we were the only piece on a particular County's volunteer box assignments that was guaranteed to show up, and show up with four guys. 75% of the time we were first in. Ahhhhhh those were the days......

The pumper usually pulls past here, giving me the front of the house. Most of our residential streets are narrow, and they are very big on the 3 sides thing. With guys doing a 360, it's not as much of a factor, I guess. The truck has two great halogens and I can light a scene from the cab quick as anything because of a great idea from our apparatus committee.
You have 5 inch. We're still laying 4. We have discovered fire and made simple tools out of flint.

Our engine always catches it's own plug unless:
1. Small/Contained Fire
2. No hydrants within 500ft
3. Dead-end lays, or overly complicated lays, i.e. up the side street

Hmmm...I dont think an engine should ever hit the plug. It will cause tons of damage to both the truck and the hydrant that will be very expensive to repair.
Sorry, couldnt resist.

i'm loving it!!!! The best part of the new ONE TOUCH Idol 6030a is???
a. It???s Super Slim, Light as a feather
b. Crystal Clear Display
c. 8 MP main camera
Style, fun, function, or power; get all of this!!!
I have been using two versions of this product. 6030 A and the dual sim version for my wife. both of these have some unique issues:
1. Both of these are very susceptible to power/voltage variations during charging. in India conditions the chargers should have been damping these, but they do not and the phone overheats.
2. As for every smartphone Battery life very less when on data usage. for this one it is ~2hours.
3. Updates are very slow.
Else everything amazing.
Ordered this a week ago..
1) Varies a lot from the pic shown here and the product you will receive
2) Battery drains too much...i charge it twice in a day..
3) Games such as temple run and subway surfers lags while playing it.
4) I have to uninstall many applications just because it consumes too much of battery.
5) The earphones provided are not worth to have conversation on call... Disturbance on other side is experienced
6) still worth a design to hold it..you will feel of holding a unique phone..
7) Super duper HD clarity.
8) Light weight
9) Attraction seeker phone
This phone is the sleekest, sharpest, quickest phone ever.
Lightning speed despite many saved music- movie files and Kindle books.
Beautiful to look at and a dream to hold.
Variety of pre-loaded apps
Buy the cover from Flipkart as the market does not seem to have its size.
value for money yeah of course not fast but couple of games and other apps does work properly, but yeah a good mobile for tat 14k u can go for it instead of micromax karbonn and other brands in the market,
I Have bought this mobile by yesterday the mobile is looks as it is, this mobile is worth of money only drawback is RAM but other features are awesome
I got a compliant for FLIPKART the packing is very worst when i opened it i found the mobile box is damaged very badly, please ensure that hereafter. (View complete review)
this is toy.. !! selling at high rate like price of gold.. better to choose Micromax canvas 4...... guys may be it has unique design but there is lots of problems in this phone, this is not smartphone.. i recommended you guys to go for galaxy, canvas, lumia... don't go for it.. worthless ..!! (View complete review)
bought the phone last year
its not the best...but looks and styling is unmatched...
display is good and clear..
processor is slow...phone lags, does not open apps quickly,shuts down for no reason etc..
only 512 mb ram...very low..again performance lag and net browsing is bad.
even temple run... (View complete review)
The processor isn't fast at all. The phone hangs quiet a lot. Main drawback about the phone is the battery which drains out so fast that charging is required two times a day. Good to hold. Smart Looks. (View complete review)

The Mystery of the Railway"Sherlock. That is your name, correct?" the strange woman stated. She wore a slim black suit, and resembled that of an authoritative man. Sherlock Holmes knew she was a woman, however. A very pretty one at that. He did not care about such things however, for he was tied up to chair, and the woman held a pistol in her hand."Holmes." He said, his voice still calm and collected. "You will call me Holmes. You have no right to address me by my first name."The woman only chuckled, coking the gun and pointing it at the detective's head. "That no longer matters, Sherlock." She spewed with a smirk. "For in just a few seconds, you will die." As the last syllable escaped her lips, her finger pressed the trigger and the sound resonated through the building.One Day PriorSherlock Holmes laid atop his couch at his home on 221B Baker Street, plucking quite ear-splittingly on his beautifully crafted violin. Sir John Watson sat on the seat opposite of him, drumming his fingers across the arm of chai
Everything Is PerfectThe first thing I notice is how beautiful everything is. The second thing I notice is that everything in this library is made of glass. Except for the books. Those are many different colors on the transparent shelves that line every wall and run down in isles across all three floors. This is the most beautiful place, and I'm not sure how I got here, but I don't care. I'm here now and that's all that matters.I'm alone here. There's not even a librarian, or anyone here
but there are computers. The monitor's outer shell is made of glass, allowing me to see all the wires and circuits flowing from the inside. My heart sinks a little at the sight of them, though. If I got on, which I know I would for I'm already walking over to one of them, then I would never get off
but as I sit down on a transparent stool, and type in tardisrainbows.tumblr.com using the key-board (which looked just like the monitor), a red "X" appears on the screen along with some words."Library Search Only"I
Wonderland Asylum - The HatterNow, as wicked as that girl's story might be, there are many more stories to be told."Hatter! Hatter! Can you hear me? I know you can't see me, but c'mon, I'm by the wall."The one they call the Mad Hatter did not move from his white chair. He stayed, poised and sipping tea, staring at the blank white wall of his cell block. He did, however answer the voice that continued to call him.His voice came out high and had a thick accent of a country no one could place."Cheshire? Have you ever wondered about that girl they say causes all the trouble down in block B?"From the sound of things, the strange Hatter seemed in his early 20's,the boy sounded like he was in his late teenage years, maybe 18 or so,"Man, Hatter," said the voice, which we now know is named Cheshire. "You're way too curious. I say Mousey over across the hall has the best plan. Just sleep all day, don't bother the orderlies." He stated, his voice a bit annoyed.The Hatter merely chuckled, still keeping his eyes on the
Wonderland Asylum - The CatNow, it is time to truly meet the 18 year old boy they call "Cheshire"."YOU CAN'T SEE ME! YOU CAN'T SEE ME! I'M INVISIBLE! YOU CAN'T SEE ME!" shouted the boy, clad in only maroon and purple striped pajama bottoms, the matching shirt being in a heap on the ground. The female orderly just rolled her eyes, for he was clearly visible, and slid the tray of bread and water into the cell. "Listen," she said in absolute annoyance, not trying to be kind in the slightest. "We can see you. You're so mental. And the sad thing is, you're good looking." And he was. His hair was a dark maroon, dyed of course. He was tall and well-toned, and his face seemed perfectly sculpted and beautiful. He didn't really notice though, because he always thought he was invisible, so why should it matter? Of course, he wasn't. Cheshire has a severe case of an undiagnosed disease. The only thing the doctor's know is that whatever it is, it involves deep hallucination. As the young girl, walked away, though, Cheshire
Death of Sherlock Holmes"Sherlock! Don't leave me! I-" It was no use
that line had gone dead. Unable to move, barely even able to breath, John looked up at the figure of his best friend atop a building. "NO!" he shouted, beginning to run forward
but then he stopped.He had promised Sherlock he wouldn't move. He owed him at least that. Nonetheless, he couldn't bear to see his friend fall to his death
but he didn't dare look way. As his body flew from the top of the building, John felt himself take in a large breath of oxygen, nearly choking on it. The body hit the ground hard
and John felt a tear trickle down his cheek.Quickly, he ran over to his friend, is dead friend
but no one could deny that he was more than just a friend
he was his other half."You damn bastard
" he whispered to the corpse, taking his hand and checking for a pulse. "Don't die. Please
I need you Sherlock." He whispered, ignoring the crowd that was gathering around. He placed his ear to his friends,
Wonderland Asylum - The Girl"Time for medicine."The voice is muffled by the blue sheets covering the young girl's head. Slowly, the teenager peered up from her hiding place, to stare at an orderly dressed in all white.She pouted angrily, wriggling her way out of the covers to stand.She wore a blue dress with white and black striped socks. Her blond hair was disheveled and fell in a disordered heap across her dirty face, with a glint of crazy in her eyes."I'm in Wonderland!" she shouted, coming up to the barred door that separated her and the orderly."Yes. Wonderland Asylum. Now come on, Alice dear." The orderly coaxed, slipping a small cup of water and two pills through the door.Alice just stared at it for a few moments, as if she had never taken these pills before, in which she had everyday for a year now."Just swallow the pills." He beckoned, pressing his face against the bars to get a better view.Just like that, Alice hissed angrily, clawing at the man and pulling him so close to the bar that it gave h
Wonderland Asylum - The TwinsNext in line, it is time to meet the twins. Dee, the male, and Tweety, the female. They both wore matching outfits. Tweety wore a white jumper with a black shirt and no shoes. Dee, of course, wore overalls, but all else was the same. They both had dark black hair and a cuff on left and right legs (Tweety on the left, Dee on the right). The chain in between it is quite long, enough for one to walk at least 2 feet ahead of the other without tripping.At the moment, they were both laughing hilariously, for they had created a game with their chain called 'jump chain' in which they used the chain as a simplified jump rope. They tripped many times, falling flat on their faces, but they were too young to understand how falling isn't fun. They had been in this asylum since they were three, because their mother gave them up as soon as there was a chance there was something wrong with them.Crying was not something well known to them. Soon, they plopped down in their double-bed together; Tweety l
The 12th Doctor and RoseIt was her. It was Rose. The woman she loved
no. That was no longer the case. She didn't love her
but he did. And he was her.She clucked her tongue at herself for thinking such complex and confusing thoughts. Rose was staring at her now, in utter disbelief."You can't be the Doctor
he's a man!"The Doctor couldn't help chuckling to herself. "Regeneration, Rose. You've seen it in action." She shrugged, sticking her hands inside the pockets of the leather jacket her 9th generation had once worn. "I was pretty surprised to...but you recognize these, don't you?" the Doctor questioned, wriggling her feet in a circle to show the white converse her 10th generation had once donned. Rose looked at them, finally believing that this woman was the man she loved
what? This was all so confusing."I'm sorry, Doctor
but I loved the past you
I can't love a woman."The Doctor let a smirk form across her face as she flipped her long, red,

Hot Pepper (Red Pepper / Sun-dried Pepper)
Its hot taste comes from 'capsaicin.' Because of its hot and spicy nature, hot
pepper is good for those who often experience stomach indigestion due to the
coldness of their bodies. The hot taste
promotes digestion by stimulating the salivary gland and gastric gland to
secret more gastric acid.
Hot pepper also contains a lot of vitamins A and
After spending a lot of time inside
air-conditioned rooms, we can easily develop various respiratory diseases. Vitamin A enhances resistance against these
diseases. Vitamin C in hot pepper is
about 20 times greater than that in apples.
Also, capsaicin keeps heat from oxidating vitamin C. Hot pepper is harvested between August and
late September.

It's official: Halle Berry and her fiance Olivier Martinez have a baby boy on the way.
Martinez, 47, didn't shy away from the topic of his son-to-be while at the opening night of the Champs-Élysées Film Festival in Paris on June 12.
"My son will be an American, but I remain French," the actor and 2013 festival president told People. "I'm French -- it's less important. Meaning, I remain a Frenchman in America, but I adapt to American culture. I feel good there -- but I'm still a foreigner. My son will be an American."
Berry and Olivier met and began dating in 2010 while filming the thriller "Dark Tide." After much speculation, Berry confirmed their engagement in March 2012, and the 46-year-old Oscar winner shared the happy -- and wholly unexpected -- news of her pregnancy in April 2013.
"This has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth," she admitted to CNN at the time. "Thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful."
Berry and Martinez's coming bundle of joy will have an older sister in Nahla, Berry's 5-year-old daughter from her relationship with model Gabriel Aubry.
As a Champs-Élysées Film Festival guest of honor, Berry and her growing baby bump hit the red carpet on June 13.

Battery concerns.
So I've noticed that my HTC One (4.3) battery gets unbelievably hot anytime I use video call on Hangouts or Skype (which I do a lot). Just today I was using video call on Hangouts, I placed my phone on the table next to my bed with battery at about 90% & started a call & when the call ended about an hour later my battery was at 20% & the phone was literally too hot to pick up! Several battery apps said the battery temperature was around 48-52 degrees celsius. Is anyone else experiencing this with their One or using hangouts/Skype in general on their device?

Q: I have a 40 GB iPod with Click Wheel, and the copyright on the back is 2003. Is this a 3rd generation or 4th generation iPod? I'm planning to sell it, and the buyer wants to know which generation it is.
- Aswin
A: Apple has a web page here that tells you how to identify which iPod model you have. It tells you how to figure this out by checking the type of controls, the size of its hard drive, and the type of connector the iPod has. If your iPod has a Click Wheel, is white in color and doesn't have a color screen, you have a fourth-generation iPod.

Amy Wilson - Boilermaker Charity Bib Page
July 13th, 8:00 am - 10:00 am
Sometimes I find myself saying, "What am I thinking?! Who wants to run a 15k in the hot month of July, with hills? Am I really doing this?" And the answer is always "yes."
I don't have a specific reason why I started running. I think part of it was because some of my friends were running different races and I couldn't really see myself going out there and doing something that seemed so intimidating, yet empowering and impressive.
I just kind of started. I got a pair of running shoes. I ran. I talked to friends about how they train. I did a lot of searches on google. I doubted myself several times. But I kept going. My first major race was being part of a relay team in the Empire State Marathon. I was nervous. I didn't want to let my team down. Or let myself down. I didn't want to have to walk. I ran the second leg. I didn't walk. I didn't let my team down. I didn't let myself down. Instead, I completely surprised myself. And I wanted to do more races.
By July I'll have run in about four other races since the marathon. Now I could say I have two main reasons for running the Boilermaker. One is to continue challenging myself to do something difficult and out of my comfort zone. I'm not the fastest runner and won't be setting any world records, but I am going out there and doing something I would normally never do.
The second reason is to support Food Bank of Central New York. Working at Food Bank as a Nutrition Educator, I have the opportunity to be out in the community teaching adults and children on healthy eating. I meet so many different people and experience things I never would have if I didn't work for Food Bank. Seeing firsthand families struggling to have enough food right here in Central New York makes me want to help communities as much as I can. I am honored to represent Food Bank and help support thousands of families through this charity bib.
If you are able, please donate to help support Food Bank of Central New York! Thank you so much!
