In the small hours of a Monday morning from 2-3am you can hear a selection of my favourite new tunes compiled into an hour-long mixtape of nonstop music. All the audio is sourced from the BBC Introducing Uploader - some of it recommended by friends and colleagues and some discovered via Twitter and my own Fresh On The Net blog.
From 3am each Monday the latest mixtape is available free via the 6 Music Downloads Page - where you'll also find archived episodes from the previous 4 weeks. All the tracklists and start times for each track are published here - together with a link to each artist's website. These are the listings for Monday, September 10th.
BRIGHTLIGHT CITY - Feels Like [starts 0:14]
Brightlight City (pictured above) release Feels Like - their third single this year - through their own imprint Venti Venti Records. An EP and follow up single are scheduled to follow by the end of the year. They're a five piece formed around the Giarraputo brothers Jamie (vocals) and Justin (guitar) and give their hometown on Facebook as Epsom/Carshalton/Brisbane. Take your pick.
THE JAR FAMILY - Broken Minded - 3.35]
Hartlepool 7-piece The Jar Family met on the North East's open mic circuit in 2009 and include five very different singer/songwriters. They released a debut EP called Livingston Session in 2010 and their first single Poolie Strut was adopted by Hartlepool United Football club. They recorded their first album at Sawmills Studio in Cornwall and released it earlier this year. From it, Broken Minded is their newly released third single. For live dates see their Facebook.
THE POCKET GODS - Et In The Amusement Arcade E Got Bo - [starts 7.25]
This is described by the band's frontman and onlie begetter Mark Christopher Lee as "a new weird Goth tune about the Priory Of Sion" and is the latest in a long line of singularly odd tunes they've produced down the years. Mark has a book out called Weird - The Life And Times Of A Pocket God describing the vagiaries of life in an unsigned band. These incude being namechecked in John Peel's biography Margrave of the Marshes in a list of bands he hoped would one day come and shout at him "Listen, you old twat. You were wrong about us." Their varied and prolific output has been dotted with so many loony lofi gems since the great man's death in 2004 that it's fair to say his hopes have been fully justifed.
SAM CLEEVE - Hubris - [starts 9.35]
Sam describes himself as a London/Birmingham based writer of piano-led instrumentals. Some violin, guitar, percussion and electronic processing. A music student in Birmingham, a layabout in London. Hubris - his current single was recorded at home with a battered old Shure SM57 microphone and a preschool Behringer mixer. He's also an occasional contributor at Drowned in Sound and Under The Radar.
WOODPECKER WOOLIAMS - Gull - [starts 13.57]
Beekeeper and ex-trainee midwife Woodpecker Wooliams is based between Brighton and Devon - where she slipped off to the countryside after a bout of unpredictable life-changing seizures, to write, record & recouperate in her fireside 'studio' beneath a castle. This track "Gull" comes from her aplendid new album The Bird School Of Being Human - in which all the song titles are indeed the names of birds - on Robot Elephant Records.
CORONER FOR THE POLICE - Born Liar - [starts 16.47]
CFTP describe themselves as "loud: a band of musical reprobates with only one thing on their mind...meaty riffs. Songs that pull you out of peaceful slumber, slap you in the face, drag you into the street, and then give you some whisky to improve the fact that you're now standing in the road in your pyjamas with a stranger." They formed at the start of 2012 in a dingy warehouse. This song - like A Politician And A Gangster which we featured earlier this year - comes from their current Swamp Box EP which was released in May and a followup is expected by the end of 2012.
THE GRAVITY DRIVE - Push Your Luck - [starts 20.05]
As well as being in our brand new mixtape, this track is currently available as a free download from Gravity Drive - the latest project of Elijah and Ava Wolf. Their Facebook biog simply says "He met Her and they made music. The sound of a relationship... Bitter sweet, like all good love. The Gravity Drive is questions - and drama. Arguments - and love, lust, and fireworks..." Their debut single Trick of the Light is due out on Sept 30th and an album will follow in Jan 2013.
MINA TINDLE - Bells - [starts 23.26]
This tracks was released as a single at the end of last month and comes from Mina Tindle's album Taranta on Believe Recordings. As a French singer with Spanish roots she's described on her website as "the new voice of the modern French pop dreamers". She didn't start making music until her early twenties when she moved to New York, then completed the circle by returning to her native Paris to complete her debut album. Having recently supported Camille at The Barbican in London she'll be coming back to play her debut headline in the city a fortnight on Friday - September 28th at St Pancras Old Church.
THOM MORECROFT - Sexy Shade of Sunburn - [starts 26.40]
Thom Morecroft is not just a short, excitable, and scruffy young man from Shropshire. He is also - we're told - "a fine addition to a growing cannon of Liverpool-based songwriters whose extensive original material and (surprisingly) powerful voice have earned him a reputation on the local circuit." Now 21 years of age, currently recording new material to assemble for his forthcoming EP in 2012, Thom continues to play live and has recently joined forces on occasion with singer Elle Schillereff and percussionist Christophe Cousineau in an attempt to broaden his sound.
PORT ISLA - Alexandra - [starts 28.10]
On a good day, Port Isla are a four piece Folk Rock band from Norwich. Formed by Will Bloomfield in 2011, he quickly enlisted the help of fellow U.E.A. School of Musicians Stanley Spilman and Henry Kilmister and spent the next couple of months of writing and playing acoustic gigs around Norfolk. Will Olenski soon joined to complete the line up and they have since opened the Mainstage At Playfest, played at the Great Escape in Brighton and Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, won the first R.F.T.E competition, performed live on BBC Norfolk & Suffolk Introducing and recorded their first single. On a bad day, they cover 80's power ballads, complain about beard growth and argue about correct usage of knots.
GASCAN RUCKUS - Pieces - [starts 30.52]
Describing themselves as "Buddy Rock from County Armagh" Gascan Ruckus aren't very subtle, aren't very tactful and don't beat around the bush. In fact their stated goal is to be visceral, frantic and angry, playing sheer punk rock in the tradition of The Flatliners and The Bronx. Pieces was their last single, released in May this year and their new EP Buddies comes out today (Monday September 10th) through Big Cartel. You'll find a link to buy it, though alas not a tracklist to tell you what you're getting - on their Facebook page.
CREATURES OF LOVE - Vakkula - [starts 35.43]
Vakkula is the brand new single from London's gloom pop trio Creatures of Love. It will be released as a free download via Bandcamp & on 10" vinyl. 'Vakkula' is an eerie, gothic, distorted & frosty crescendo of electronic drones, inspired from the likes of Nine Inch Nails & Fever Ray & is a fitting introduction to their upcoming EP release. The band recently opened for The Joy Formidable on their UK & Ireland tour which saw them playing venues such as The HMV Forum & The Birmingham Institute. They will headline London's Dalston Victoria on October 25th.
THANK PABLO - A Little Sunshine – [starts 40.36]
Based in South London, Thank Pablo make sun-kissed quintessentially English pop songs that have been dragged through the backstreets of Africa, Spain, France and Jamaica. It is music to make you smile. Originally hailing from Hartlepool, Hull and Woking, Ted, Tom, Ry and Dickie have been playing together since January 2011. "Come and say hello" they say "we're very nice". Londoners can do that on Friday September 21st at The Troubadour in Earls Court and Friday October 5th at Tooting Tram and Social - see their website for more dates and details.
GALLERY CIRCUS - In Ten – [starts 44.40]
On their day Tyneside's Black Cab Casino had the potential to become one of the North East's most exciting live bands - centred around the extraordinary talents of twin brother DAN and GRAEME ROSS on guitar and drums. Before that could happen they pulled the plugs on the project and have since regrouped as a duo under the name of Gallery Circus. This longawaited single "In Ten" was released at the beginning of this month. For most of this year Dan and Gra have been living in San Francisco. "To get a rose-tinted vision of our place, simply imagine the crappy flat in Flight of the Choncords without the furniture, charm, maintainable plumbing and cutlery. One of us even sleeps in a cupboard." The conditions may make for uncomfortable living, but - as you can hear - have done wonders for their music.
WHITE BONE RATTLE - When I Return - [starts 47.59]
White Bone Rattle are a psychedelic rock band from Maidstone, Kent formed in 2009 by two pairs of brothers...Described as a ''heavy, guitar driven, magical head trip'' combining dark, groove laced riffs and harmonies with "sounds that are inseparable from the drug-hazed days of the '60s and '70s." Touring with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Band of Skulls, Gary Moore & the release of latest single 'When I Return' has further enhanced their reputation, picking up rave reviews from XFMs John Kennedy, a 'Track of the Day' feature in Classic Rock Magazine as well as countless plays across UK & US Radio.
RICHARD SÄNDER - Recover - [starts 51.25]
Austrian artist Richard Sänder was born in 1989, and began his career in Electronic Dance Music at the age of 19. Richards first radio airplays came with rotation by Charles McThorn and Woody van Eyden on Germany's biggest EDM station: Sunshine-Live. Last year his single "The End Of Everything" single was released on Colorful Recordings and made #14 on DMC's World-Trance Chart. Richard's work has been released on a range of labels that includes Nukleuz, Armada Music, Solaris/Touchstone Recordings, Colorful Recordings, Lost Language Recordings - and Saturn3 Recordings back in his native Austria.
LANDERIM - The Black Swarm - [starts 55.24]
The band Landerim is named after a word made up by Robert Wyatt on his 1974 album Rock Bottom and centres around Larry DeMellier with Derek Knott and John McGuire. There are also contributions from Jessica Bailiff and Kramer. The emphasis is mostly on atmosphere, feel, and the spaces in a piece of music: spare, quiet arrangements of long melodies with floating notes and rounded rhythms. There are some pieces with vocals and some instrumental sections; all meant to have an organic flow from one section to the next.

Mini Bridge in Photoshop offers some essential file locating in browsing functions, but Mini Bridge doesn't do everything that the standalone program Adobe Bridge CS5 can do in the way of file management, but that's okay because Adobe has made sure to allow us to synchronize Mini Bridge with standalone Bridge in some important ways. For one thing, it's pretty easy to move back and forth to the same folder in the two programs. Not only that, but if I make a change to folder content in Adobe Bridge, Mini Bridge will recognize that change and update itself.
For example, here I am in Mini Bridge in Photoshop and the 07_03 subfolder contains these JPEGs of life on a beach. I would like to add at least one subfolder inside of this folder and put some images inside of my new subfolder. I can't do that from here in Mini Bridge, but I can do it in the standalone program Adobe Bridge CS5 and that's just one click away. All I have to do is come to the top of Mini Bridge and click on this icon, Go to Adobe Bridge, or if I prefer shortcuts I can use the keyboard shortcut Command+Shift+O on a PC that's Ctrl+Shift+O. So when I click that Go to Bridge icon or use the shortcut, I am taken directly and immediately into Adobe Bridge to the very same 07_03 subfolder that contains all of the thumbnails.
Here in Adobe Bridge I can make a folder inside this folder by Ctrl+Clicking on a Mac or right-clicking on a PC inside of the Content pane here and I'll choose New Folder and I'll call this one footsteps and I'll press Return on my keyboard and then I am going to select these two images of footsteps holding the Command key down the Mac or the Ctrl key on a PC to select them both and then I'm going to drag both of those images from the 07_ 03 folder into the footsteps subfolder.
Now I would like to go back to Mini Bridge and I should see this change reflected there. To go back, I will use my keyboard shortcut and that does take me back to Mini Bridge to the very same folder that I was just viewing in Adobe Bridge. If I scroll down to the bottom of this folder I see my brand-new subfolder footsteps that I made back into the Adobe Bridge and if I double-click that folder, I can see the two footsteps images. Now if for some reason I didn't see that update, I could try going to the Select menu hear at the top of the Content pod in Mini Bridge clicking it and choosing Refresh.
But I didn't even have to do that much in this case. There are a few other more sophisticated things that I can do in Bridge, but that I can't do in Mini Bridge that Mini Bridge will recognize and work with. For example, here in Mini Bridge I have a Collections icon. Right now I don't have any collections created and I can't make any collections here in Mini Bridge, but I can make collections in Adobe Bridge that Mini Bridge will recognize and here in Mini Bridge I can add files to those collections that I have made in Adobe Bridge or I can remove files from this Collections.
And in Mini Bridge one of the ways that I can filter thumbnails for viewing in Content panel is by Star ratings and by Labels. However, I can't create or add stars or labels to images here in Mini Bridge. For that I have to go back to Bridge. So I'm going to go to the folder 07_03, I can click on it in this path bar to go directly there. Now I am going to jump over to the freestanding program Adobe Bridge CS5 and I will do that by clicking Bridge icon right here at the top of Mini Bridge.
That takes me to the same folder 07_03 here in Adobe Bridge and I am going to add some labels and some star ratings to these photos. First, I am going to select the photos I like the best, clicking on one, holding the Command key and Mac or the Ctrl key on the PC and clicking on a few others and I am going to give these all Star rating of 5. By going up to the Label menu and choosing five stars or I could have used this keyboard shortcut. Now I would like to label a couple of images for printing. So I will select one image, I will hold the Command or Ctrl key and select the second.
Then I will go up to the Label menu and I am going to choose the label To Print. Here is an image I don't like very well, so I am going to select it and I will go up to the Label menu and I will choose to reject this image. So that's how to add Stars and Labels in Adobe Bridge CS5. There is really nothing new about that, but of course Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5 is new. So what I would like you to take from this piece of the exercise is that Mini Bridge will recognize Star ratings and Labels that are added to thumbnails in Adobe Bridge.
I will go back to Mini Bridge and you can see down here in the Content panel that I do have my labels for printing on these two images and the five stars that I added to these images. By the way, if you can't see those labels and stars in your copy of Photoshop CS5, then go to the View menu here and see if there's a checkmark next to Show Thumbnail Only. If there is, click that command and a checkmark will disappear and you would be able to see not only the thumbnails, but also any stars or labels or titles on the thumbnails.
Finally, if I go up to this menu, the Select menu at the top of the Content pod and I choose to Show Reject Files, I will see that file that I had labeled as a Reject back in Adobe Bridge. Not only does Mini Bridge recognize these stars and labels, but it can sort and filter on the basis of the stars and labels. So if I go to Filter menu here at the top of the Content panel, I can choose to Show only items with 5 Stars. I can go back to that menu and clear that filter and then go back again and perhaps I want to see only Labeled Items this time.
I will go back and Clear Filter again and maybe this time I want to see Rejected Items Only, which is that single photo that I labeled as a reject in Adobe Bridge. And I will clear that filter once again. Also, if I go to this menu the Sort menu, I can sort by various file properties including By Rating. So if I choose By Rating and then I scroll down I see that all my five star images are here together at the bottom of the Content pod. So as you have seen Mini Bridge in Photoshop and the standalone application Adobe Bridge CS5 played really well together, splitting file management functions with the more sophisticated or intricate functions for the most part assigned to Adobe Bridge, the standalone program.
There is a lot of synchronization of results in that Mini Bridge can recognize and work with Collections, Stars, Labels, New Folders, and other elements that are created in Adobe Bridge.

OXNARD, Calif. -- The Cowboys have conducted seven practices and now are just a week away from their first preseason game at Oakland on Aug. 13.
What's left?: The Cowboys will have five practices in six days to get ready for Oakland. The team has to deal with key injuries to at least 18 players, and coach Jason Garrett needs to manage the snaps of several young players to get them ready for the preseason opener.
Mike Jenkins goes to doctor: Cornerback Mike Jenkins is scheduled to visit Dr. James Andrews in Pensacola, Fla., today to have his surgically repaired shoulder examined. Andrews performed the surgery on Jenkins and the club wants to see if he'll clear the cornerback for practice. It's doubtful Jenkins would practice this week -- if at all -- if he's cleared. He might do work in the walkthroughs for three days, per the CBA, before returning.
Could Coale return this week?: Rookie receiver Danny Coale could return to the practice fields this week. He won't practice today, but there's a strong chance he could go by the end of the week. Coale (foot) is ahead of veteran guard Mackenzy Bernadeau (hip and knee) in terms of getting ready to practice.
McGee needs to rebound: Stephen McGee didn't perform well in the Blue and White scrimmage but it's not the end of the world. The Cowboys love his arm and smarts, but he's inconsistent. This is a great time for McGee to show the coaches his roster spot shouldn't be in doubt by coming up with a strong practice Monday. Tim Benford, who had a dazzling day during the scrimmage, has to build on that. Draft picks Tyrone Crawford and Kyle Wilber impressed Jerry Jones from the scrimmage and must continue to practice well starting today.

'Winter's Tale' is a blizzard of baffling choices
This Valentine's Day, "Winter's Tale" wants to go Dutch. You spring for the movie; it'll supply the throat stabbings, children with cancer, death by sex, gangland-style executions, monologues about "virginal blood, unspoiled, unmolested" and an old man whose lips have been sewn shut.
But don't worry, fellas, it's not just a chick flick.
Colin Farrell stars as an immortal amnesiac orphaned burglar whose best friend is a Pegasus that turns out to actually be an American Indian spirit-dog. Since Farrell dresses and acts like Jack from "Titanic," it makes sense that he would fall hard for a Rose by any other name — Beverly, in particular. After playing Lady Sybil on TV's "Downton Abbey," Jessica Brown Findlay swoons commendably.
Alas, their love is doomed because they're from different worlds; he's Irish, she has consumption.
Meanwhile, Russell Crowe actually chews scenery as a demon mobster. Since Crowe hates heaven or whatever, he attempts putting an end to all miracles, thus stopping the film's mortal characters from becoming stars when they die.
Which can be a problem. For some reason.
Anyway, what would a Hallmark holiday be without a Hallmark Hall of Fame plot line involving angels?
Based on Mark Helprin's novel, "Winter's Tale" perfectly portrays the confusion of falling in love and not knowing all the rules because you lost your Dungeons & Dragons manual and never took Comparative Religions 101.
Really, the best thing for stories with convoluted mythologies is to explain what's happening at the start, a la "These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise..." The next best thing might be a "Matrix"-y "take the red pill or take the blue pill" scene later on. The absolute worst best thing is pulling a "Winter's Tale" and just making stuff up as the movie goes along.
Without defined cause and effect, it's impossible for any action to get an audience reaction.
Writer-director Akiva Goldsman doesn't help matters by including dumbfounding dialogue such as, "I've had no memory for as long as I can remember." Let's see that printed on candy hearts.
Forget Cupid's arrows — it's stupid's arrows you should be worried about.
Winter's Tale ★ 1/2
Cast: Colin Farrell, Jessica Brown Findlay, Jennifer Connelly, William Hurt, Eva Marie Saint, Russell Crowe, McKayla Twiggs, Ripley Sobo
Behind the scenes: Produced by Akiva Goldsman, Marc Platt, Michael Tadross and Tony Allard. Written and directed by Akiva Goldsman.

Good Performance For The Price, But...
I've had this hairdryer for a couple of years. During this time, it was good for the price. It did make my hair look more shiny and less frizzy. However, the design of the diffuser is horrible. Mine would blow off while I was drying my hair. I got so annoyed, I crazy-glued the diffuser to the dryer. Good solution if you never want to take the diffuser off. Now it seems like the hairdryer doesn't perform as well as it did in the beginning (as in making my hair smooth and shiny). And I do need to take the diffuser off so I'm going to try a different brand, probably Solano. I would buy a BaByliss again, but I would not purchase a Carrera 2 again. But I got my $60 worth.

Never Ever Again!
I bought my 1st BabylissPro Carrera 2 Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer at a hair show in NYC. ( I am a cosmetologist )I loved they way it made my hair look...I told all the girls I work with to get one... After two years of use my expensive dryer that I thought was so great caught on fire! I thought it was a freak thing and because I thought it was such a great dryer I decided I would buy Two more, One for my home and the other for the Spa that I working at. I was drying a woman's hair and it started making a weird noise and sparks were coming out like crazy! I had to through it out side walk back into the spa and face everyone after making all that commotion. I was so embarrassed and I felt very unprofessional! I was afraid to even use my other one I had at home so gave it away to my friend who said she didn't care she would take it...Well that one a few months later only blows cold air so I told her to get rid of it fast!I have learned my lesson and will never buy this dryer again and would never recommend it to anyone EVER EVER AGAIN after owning three that never made it for over two years of use.(for real I would look into any other dryer,but not this one)I don't know how it doesn't have a recall on it by now! I am a very disappointed costumer.

Daughter Of A Hairdress = 2 Big Thumbs Up
I have tried HUNDREDS of blowdriers in my life and this is by far the BEST! I have purchased blowdriers ranging from $30-$200. In the end, I have realized, they all end up breaking at some point. I have owned this drier for about a year, and you know, if it kicks the bucket tomorrow I am alright spending this kind of money to buy it again! I refuse to ever buy another drier again. I have naturally curly hair, and even the driers in my dad's hair salon could not compare to this. My hair has NEVER been so straight. And you can't beat the price!

Great For Two Years...but Wouldn't Buy Again
This was a great hairdryer and I used it for more than two years, however, it slowly started to take longer and longer to heat up and then one day died completely. Perhaps this is the normal lifetime of a hairdryer, however, I was expecting it to last a little longer based on the reviews. When it worked, it worked very well.

I had this dryer for over 2 years and it recently started making rattling noises, so I thought that it was getting ready to burn out. But instead, it exploded on me. It started sparking where the cord meets the handle and then exploded. The cord blew off and disconnected from the handle while I was using the dryer and the cord was still plugged into the electrical outlet. I thought that this might just be a fluke accident with my dryer until I saw the same comments on a review from this site. Be aware that this might be a very common dangerous defect. I could have been seriously injured had the live disconnected cord hit me or if the ambers flying through the air after the explosion had landed on me. Be very cautious!

Best Hair Dryer I've Owned...
My previous hair dryers were from conair & revlon. At the time I thought they functioned well, but then I decided to upgrade and buy this bad boy. My hair is long & super thick. (I once blew out a fuse at the salon when my hairdresser, at the time, decided to use 2 more stylists to blow dryer my hair since we were running late.) This hairdryer cut down the work by 1/2 the time of the others. It is a bit heavy, but its worth the time it saves me, plus it leaves my hair shiny & smooth. An added bonus is I get a bit of an arm workout while I'm at it. I've had this hairdryer for a little over a year & have had no problems yet. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an efficient & effective blow dryer.

Had It For Almost 4 Years
I bought this hair dryer nearly 4 years ago and I still love it. I can see how some people may say the heat is too much, but personally I hate when hair dryers don't have enough heat and/or power. This dries my hair fairly quickly and like I said, I've had it a really long time and it's still working just as well as the day I got it. It's been on many, many trips with me! Even my boyfriend loves it. Seriously, any time I stay with him he wants to use it. Great hair dryer :)

I am literally blown away by this hair dryer. Its small, but more powerful than any other blower I have ever owned. I was looking for a dryer that not only had a powerful wattage, but also a strong air flow. Highly recommend.

Hi everyone..So I bought this dryer about 2-3 months ago and I was searching near and far for a blow dryer this good. So far it has a blessing to me. I am sumone that has never known how to tame my soft yet very curly hair. I wanted to purchase a dryer that would leave my hair soft and would cut my timing in half. And this dryer not only leaves it soft, super straight, and cuts the timing, it does so well that I barely have to use the iron. I recommend this blow dryer to everyone.

Firefighters refuse to battle blaze, but watch
By JOHN GRANT EMEIGH
Tribune Chronicle
McKINLEY HEIGHTS - Firefighters from Niles watched a Weathersfield house burn for about 20 minutes Thursday afternoon without attempting to put it out because the fire occurred outside the city limits. Jason Radcliff said most of the items in his home at 2782 Robbins Ave. may have been saved if the Niles firefighters had acted immediately.
Instead, the Niles crew waited for the Weathersfield Fire Department to come and put out the blaze. Radcliff said Niles firefighters had three firetrucks at the scene and could have easily put out the fire.
''You don't just sit there and watch someone's livelihood burn,'' Radcliff said.
Capt. Randy Ciminero of the Niles Fire Department confirmed his firefighters mistakenly were dispatched to the scene because the fire originally was thought to have been in Niles.
Since the fire was not in the city's jurisdiction, Ciminero said his firefighters just waited to make sure no one was injured.
Radcliff, whose house was no more than 200 yards from Niles city limits, was angry the Niles firefighters didn't help.
''Don't call yourself a firefighter if you do something like that,'' he said.
The Niles firefighters said they would have done something if there was someone trapped in the house, but Ciminero said his department was not obligated to fight the fire.
Ciminero said he didn't want his firefighters tied up with this fire when they could have been called out to a fire in Niles.
''I'm paid by the city of Niles. I'm paid to protect the property of the people of Niles,'' he said.
Radcliff, who has rented the house for the past five years, said the fire was contained to one room when Niles firefighters arrived. However, the fire spread by the time firefighters from the Weathersfield station arrived.
It takes Weathersfield firefighters longer to respond to fires because it only has part-time firefighters who usually are not at the station when called.
The Niles department was dispatched to the fire because the 911 call was made from a cell phone, and all cell phone calls go to the Ohio State Highway Patrol in Southington. The patrol dispatcher mistakenly notified the Niles department about the fire because Robbins Avenue also runs through Niles.
Firefighters from Weathersfield's Station No. 40, who were eventually called about 1:10 p.m., put out the fire. An official from the Weathersfield department said the fire was contained to a room and part of the attic.
The cause of the fire was undetermined, the Fire Department reported.
One Weathersfield firefighter was taken to a local hospital after suffering breathing problems and was treated and released that day.
Weathersfield Fire Chief Randall Pugh was not available for comment.
Radcliff said he and his fiancee and their three children will have to stay in a hotel.
If they feel this way, I question their "dedication".
Not my job, man.
Yep, sounds like union mentality.
I feel for the ex-home owner / renter.
Firefighters from Weathersfield's Station No. 40, who were eventually called about 1:10 p.m., put out the fire.
You talk about people being cognizant of every detail on their property tax statement ... sounds like the 911 dispatcher and the State Highway Patrol (which depend on tax revenue for their existence) could be held civilly liable for the loss. And it also sounds like it's just too bad that there wasn't a private fire company that the person could call, who was their client, and who would come put out the fire - instead of depending on multiple levels of government functionaries to do so.
I agree. Sue the pants off them. Sad to say, but it's the only way left to get back at the government for stepping on you.
The way the town I worked in was drawn, some parts are city of Houston, and the rest is Harris County.
From previous experience, I knew that 911 goes to city, but that we are in county.
So, when I called the Sherriff's office, they told me to hang up and call 911 so they could have me on record.
When I told them why I couldn't, they said "well, then, it is just going to take longer for us to find you"
Thank God I wasn't hurt.
But it was a good lesson that 911 doesn't always work
I guess he must of felt strongly about the situation.
Besides, in general, sawdust plywood houses are just left to burn.
My local newspaper once ran a photo of a bunch of smiling firefighters posing in front of a burning house. But those firefighters had an excuse: the house was being torched as part of a training exercise, and the firefighters were waiting for the fire to reach the proper level before going in to put it out.
You forgot about NIASH and OSHA.... there are many bastards in the world, that are not the ground troops.
you're absolutely correct. It should be the most accurate considering how it employs sattelite triangulation to find you.
Human error is still the missing link in eliminating error, and they will happen.
But that doesn't excuse those feckers from putting out a fire. I just can't believe that was a top-down order to not put it out.
This probab;y is not a union issue. It's probably because of a lack of a mutual aid agreement between the two fire departments. In Washington State, these agreements provide such broad-ranging coverage that this type of incident could never happen. Fire fighters would respond and take action even if the call came from two cities away.
Yes, there is. This has been settled. First time I saw such a thing was at least 20 years ago, and it was a beaut. Turned out that house was in no fire district at all. All his neighbors were, but district boundary lines went around. Everyone was surprised, and there was much reading of legal descriptions, but the decision stood.
No they're not. No fire department puts out fires outside their Jurisdiction. Fire fighting is extremely dangerous. No one demands that fire fighters risk their lives when it's not their responsibility. Remember these's guys made sure everyone was safe. But it's not their job to risk their lives to protect property outside their jurisdiction. And the "brave NY 9/11 firefighters" would have done exactly the same thing. Because the Firefighters on 9/11 didn't enter those towers to protect someone's D$@% property. They enter to save lives and you are wrong to compare these two events.
Fails the laugh test: so they just stand around and watch it burn, doing nothing except blocking the way for other fire trucks?
Behold the power of government services: it's not only not in my job description (the union response) but it's legally prohibited for me to assist you (the government response). So, I'll just stand around, maybe order a pizza or some popcorn and watch. Say, there's a fire here; anyone bring marshmallows?
You got that right. Where was the pre-planning for such an event.
and I've only cared about issues like this for only 5-6yrs now
Yes, and make sure the fire doesn't spread to property in their district of responsibility. Nobody is laughing.
Where did you hear that. I used to do it all the time. First truck in was always the attack pumper...regardless of who arrived first.
The wrong fire department was dispatched because they used a cell phone and the dispatcher made a mistake. This wasn't a choice, it was a tragic error. I could see your point if the fire department that had jurisdiction was correctly dispatched and they bungled the job, but that isn't the case. A mistake was made by the dispatcher and the firefighters had an obligation to at least start fighting the fire until the correct department arrived. This is a travesty.
These sort of petty boundary squabbles are common and wrong. I used to be a firefighter, and we NEVER would have stood by and watched. Mutual aid agreements are a necessity to avoid such occurrances. But even in the absence of an agreement, they should have just done the job they were mistakenly called by another authority to do and argued about it later. I'm certain the other department would have reciprocated if a call had come in when they were engaged "out of their territory".
They could make sure it wouldn't spread by putting it out.
"I'm sorry, sir, could you repeat that credit card number and expiration date again? And for verification purposes, please state the billing zipcode and the last four digits of your social security number."
Compare that kind of service to that received from social services, getting a driver's license, or going to court. (Sorry, docket's full for two years.)
I never had a homeowner complain because my engine company was a block or two outside our jurisdiction.
Actually firefighters often sit there and watch someone's livelihood burn. When it's too dangerous, or as in this case outside their jurisdiction.
Radcliff wants these guys to risk their lives to protect his property. But he does not want to pay for the fire department. He decided to live where they have a volunteer fire department. And I'm sure he was happy to pay less in taxes for it. Well he got what he paid for.
Well, yeah. That does happen, too. Municipal GIS is weeding out those problems and there were a lot like that before GIS.
A self-governance BTTT.
Firefighters in California Town Resign to Protest Colleague's Porn Career
Published: Jan 16, 2004
Firefighters in Keyes, a town of 4,500 south of Modesto, walked off the job to protest Alexa Jones' pornography career, which they said she discussed while on the job with her husband, Assistant Fire Chief Roger Jones.
"We feel pretty strongly that there needs to be a separation between the pornography and the fire service," said Capt. Herb Collier, who was among those who resigned.
Alexa Jones has a Web site that promotes her pornographic material but does not mention her job as a firefighter. She stars in videos under a pseudonym.
"If they're going to be out there, I might as well be making money off them," she said. Her husband added: "It's called freedom of expression, and speech also. It's not illegal."
The resignations leave Keyes with eight firefighters. Nearby stations have pledged to help the department respond to emergencies.

This is probably done all the time.
Class "A" pumpers carry 750 gallons of water. While not enough for a fully involved structural....it is oftentimes enough to make a concerted stop using 1 1/4 inch or 1 1/2 inch lines.
Secondly...all pumpers carry hard suction, which allows them to draft from a nearby water supply such as a stream, pond or swimming pool. If the water source is distant, than two or more pumpers set up a relay, called a water shuttle through 2 1/2 inch 3 inch or even 5 inch lines.

I was almost going to make this a compound movements vs isolation movements thread, but I didn't want it to turn into an "either or" thread. I just wanted to talk about my experience.
Over the last year or so, I focused most of my workouts on a few main compound movements and didn't bother much with isolation movements. It works. Compound movements are certainly the most time efficient movements you can do. For example, someone was asking recently on a different forum about how to get over their chicken legs. Of course squats was my answer and the truth is if hard sets are done one can get phenomenal growth in the legs with as little as a few sets done twice per week, maybe even less.
But what about isolation movements? Over this summer (due partially to sickness and injury) I got slightly out of shape and lost a bit of strength and consistency. I've been trying to get back into eventually being more regular and strong again. My lifts seem to be down to 80% since a few months back. So last week I did great working in a few full body workouts including a few isolation exercises at the end for arms and calves.
The results? I noticed that while my compound movements are down a bit, I seemed to also be VERY weak with the isolation movements and they made my muscles very sore. Isolation movements require zero skill. So from that I can only conclude that the muscles I was targeting (biceps, triceps, and calves) are in fact relatively weak. It also tells me that with triceps for example, bench press alone isn't working them to their fullest extent, because if it was, my triceps would be stronger, but they aren't.
So at this point in time I don't care what anyone else says anymore. People go way too extreme with things. Surely compound movements are the most time efficient. But if you have even a small amount of time to spare, even as little as 15 minutes at the end of your workout, providing you aren't beat up, adding in a few isolation movements is probably only going to help you if anything. It goes back to one of the books I originally read 17 years ago that had a chapter on exercise selection. They said that isolation movements shouldn't comprise of any more than 30% of your workout.
But at this point in time, I'm steering more towards the belief that you should include isolation movements in your routine. They are the only exercises that can target certain muscles to their fullest extent. And because of that, I think you'd be dumb to leave them out. But I'd still stick to the 30% rule.
Peace folks.

What is a "compound exercise" anyway? Benchpress and squats can also be performed in a way to target -"isolate"- certain muscles... And machines can be performed as a multijoint exercise, so I am not sure that the distinction between compound and isolationwork can be related to the equipment used per se. And zero skill to isolation movements? Hmmm, some might disagree with you upon that...
It's true that you can do isolation exercises with a barbell and some machine exercises are multi-joint exercises, but bench press and squats, no matter how they're performed, can't be performed as single-joint exercises, so I'm sure that's excluded from the OP's definition of isolation exercises.
Alright, bench press with a machine is a compound exercise, and leg-extensions using the hip flexors also and standing curl with barbell or dumbbells are compound exercises as well...
Does this just mean that the particular compounds you were using had inadequate bicep and tricep involvement?
I think compound pulls in particular have little bicep work unless you adjust form to make sure they do. Except undergrip chins.
How are the delts,pecs,lats in iso exercises?
The whole compound/Isolation thing dumfounds me at times. People should start looking at the bio-mechanics of the muscles a little more and then decide what exercises best serve that function.
Take the Bench Press for example, it is very poor at fullfilling the function of the pecs yet people swear by it as a chest builder, it would be the equivalent of doing a squat from the floor up to parallel, pretty sure not many people would let that squat go by without negative comments.
And before anyone jumps in with a comment.....yes I'd say the bench press can build a decent sized chest, this is in part because I also don't think a muscle has to be worked over a full range of motion to cause adaptation.

The Memphis Grizzlies played their last truly difficult game on Thursday night against the San Antonio Spurs. The Grizzlies mounted a late 20-10 run to pull within four, but the Spurs ended up winning 107-97.
Now, the Grizzlies are looking at an easy finish to the season. They'll play seven of their last eight remaining games against sub-.500 teams, with the only games against a winning team coming against the Utah Jazz and Orlando Magic. Five of these last eight games will be in the friendly confines of the FedEx Forum.
Playing teams like the Charlotte Bobcats and New Orleans Hornets to finish the regular season will benefit the Grizzlies in a few different ways as they prepare for the playoffs.
Follow along to read about how the Grizzlies will benefit.

When you want to hit those great mountain trails, or do some miles on scenic stretches of asphalt, the last thing you need is a finicky bike rack that's a hassle to install and load. With the Yakima FrontLoader Roof Bike Rack, you can be loaded up and on the road whenever the impulse moves you, with very little time and effort required. The built-in clamps on the FrontLoader can be attached to round, square, factory, and aero crossbars. The clamps adjust to accommodate the crossbar style and thickness, and the rear clamp slides to accommodate crossbar spacing. Once the rack is securely in position the front clamp can be locked to the crossbar with an SKS lock core (sold separately).
Loading your bike is just as simple. Place the bike in the carrier with the front wheel in the hoop. The carrier will hold the bike upright, leaving your hands free to secure the bike, and since there's no frame contact, you'll never have to worry about frame damage. The front hoop has a wheel grip that adjusts to the tire diameter, and once the wheel is installed the rear hoop will lever up. Pull down on the wheel while tightening the adjustment knob to secure the front wheel, then wrap the strap through the rear wheel and tighten it with the ratchet mechanism. The rear wheel tray can slide on the rack to accommodate various wheelbases. The Front Loader fits bikes up to 40 lbs., 20" to 29" wheels, mountain and road bike wheels (except tandems and recumbents), and accommodates disc brakes, thru axles, and full suspensions.
A built-in cable lock is stored under the front hoop, and this can be used to secure the bike to the rack. Like the rack lock, it requires an SKS lock core (sold separately), but these can be set up to operate with the same key. When the rack is unloaded both hoops can be folded down for better aerodynamics and for additional roof clearance. Comprehensive, illustrated installation/user instructions are included with the Front Loader Roof Bike Rack. The rack is covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Swimmer's body found in Delaware River
Posted: 10:06 PM EDT Aug 16, 2013 Updated: 10:56 PM EDT Aug 16, 2013
Authorities say two fishermen have found the body of a swimmer who disappeared in Delaware River Water Gap earlier this week.
They say the fishermen discovered the body of 20-year-old Amjed Hasan at around 5:15 Friday night in the Delaware River just north the Interstate 80 toll bridge.
Officials say Hasan was last seen swimming in the Delaware River along Old Main Road in Warren County, New Jersey on Tuesday.
They say he was not wearing his life jacket.

D-Backs Swept by Seattle After Tony Clark Drops a Routine Throw to First in the Ninth Inning Sunday. Next Up: Texas Rangers.
The score was knotted 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth Sunday at Safeco Field in Seattle when the unthinkable happened. Well, it would've been unthinkable except we're talking about the hard-luck Arizona Diamondbacks.
Veteran Tony Clark, who's about the only true first baseman the D-Backs have left because of injuries, dropped a routine throw from third baseman Mark Reynolds and a run scored, giving the Seattle Mariners a 3-2 victory over Arizona and a sweep of the three-game series.
The guy on the other end of that play, Reynolds, had a chance to be the hero of the game for the Snakes when he hit a two-run homer to center in the eighth to give his team a 2-1 lead.
But Arizona's bullpen, as usual, didn't get the job done after starter Doug Davis left the game after seven innings, giving up seven hits and a run. The eighth inning has been hell for the Diamondbacks this year, and it was no different Sunday.

Mariners' first baseman Mike Carp singled and took second on a throwing error. Then the tying run scored when a chopper by center fielder Franklin Gutierrez was deflected off the pitcher's glove, giving Arizona no play at the plate.
Reynolds' 19th homer of the season was Seattle ace Felix Hernandez's only big mistake in 7 1/3 innings. Known as King Felix to Seattle fans, he gave up six hits and struck out eight.
Too bad Clark's blunder was so much bigger. Reynolds' throw hit the pocket of Clark's glove, but inexplicably popped out, dropping the jaws of his teammates. An out on the play would've retired the side and sent the game into extra innings.
Of note was that the Mariners' great lead-off hitter, Ichiro Suzuki, recorded his 1,901st hit Sunday. The Japanese sensation went three for four against Arizona to raise his batting average to .358, the highest in the majors.
Another deflection Saturday night, this time off the glove of starting pitcher Billy Buckner -- had he let it go -- would've turned into a likely double-play. But instead it ignited the Mariners, who went on to win 7-3.
Seattle starter Jason Vargas, after dodging trouble in the first inning, retired 17 batters before Justin Upton homered in the seventh to tie the game. But the night belonged to the Mariners, who added their final three runs in that troublesome eighth.
Friday night, the Snakes' 4-3 loss was once again the fault of (you guessed it) the bullpen. And the killer blow came in (you guessed it) the freakin' eighth.
We won't bore you with ancient history, except to say that fabled slugger Ken Griffey Jr., in the twilight of his career, smacked a two-run homer to beat the D-Backs.
The Mariners went to 35-34 on the season and look like a playoff contender; they're 2 1/2 games out of first place in the American League West. Arizona dropped to 29-41 and into the cellar of the National League West, 16 1/2 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Texas Rangers, in first place in the AL West with a 37-31 record, are next up for the Diamondbacks Tuesday through Thursday at Chase Field. The Rangers were swept by the San Francisco Giants after managing just three hits Sunday to lose 3-2. Andruw Jones, the former Atlanta Braves slugger, was the only bright spot for Texas yesterday, hitting a two-run homer in the seventh.
Tuesday's probable starting pitchers are right-hander Max Scherzer (4-4, 3.58 ERA) for Arizona and lefty Matt Harrison (4-4, 5.43 ERA) for the Rangers. Games start at 6:40 p.m. TV: Fox Sports Arizona. Radio: KTAR-AM 620. For more information, go to www.dbacks.com.

Some AutoCAD users like to create custom command aliases to launch some of their commands. A command alias allows you to launch a command by pressing one or two keys on your keyboard much like a keyboard shortcut. In this lesson we're going to learn how to define a command alias using AutoCAD for the Mac. First let's demonstrate a command alias I am going to type the letters C then I will press Return; this just launched the Circle command. If I type the letter l and press Return I launched the Line command. The command alias is nothing more than a shortened version of the command that you enter at the command line.
The nice thing is you customized these to whatever you like and when you're done, you can launch commands as fast as you can tab keys on the keyboard. Let's define the command alias. Now we already know the letter C launches the Circle command maybe I would rather have C launched the Copy command. To make the change I am going to visit the tools menu. I will come down to Customize and I'll select Edit Command Aliases. This brings up the Text Edit tool and opens up the acad.pgp file which is the same file that controls command aliases on the Windows platform.
If I grab this slider and scroll down you can see two columns, the one on my left is the alias and the one on the right is the command that will be launched. If I move right over here you can see that the letter c is going to launch the Circle command. To change this all I have to do is edit this text file but I don't want to change the text right here. Instead I'm going to select this line of text or right-click and I will copy this to the clipboard and then I'll scroll all the way down to the bottom of the document to the User Defined Command Aliases section.
This is where I will make the change. I'm going to click right here and press Return and then I will right-click and paste my text. Finally I'll change this to the Copy command. The reason we make our changes down here is because eventually when we migrate our settings to a newer version of AutoCAD. This is where AutoCAD will look for our custom aliases. We can have as many aliases as we want and now that I have got the started I'm going to create another alias as an example. I am going to press Return and I would like the letter q to launch the Plot command.
So I will type q and then a comma. I will space over and enter an asterisk. I'm just going to use the same formatting and I will type Plot. When I am finished making my changes I'll save this file and I will close the text editor. Now that I'm back in AutoCAD and I am going to open up the tools menu again and I'll come down to Customize and I'll select Reload Command Aliases. All right let's try them out I'm going to type the letter C and I'll press Return noticed this launched the Copy command I am going to press Esc to cancel and if I press q and then Return we can see AutoCAD is launching the Plot command.
Creating custom command aliases is a great way to tailor AutoCAD to the way you like to work and just like in the Windows version creating an alias is as easy as editing your acad.pgp file.
