Photo print sizes and the digital image - Jae Le
Our office technological guru, and star of the Zen video tutorials, gives us insight to the digital image aspect ratio that best fits a photo print.
Photo print sizes and the digital image - by Jae Le
The standard size of a consumer printed photograph is 4 x 6 inches. This aspect ratio can be written out as 1.5:1 or 3:2.
With digital cameras today it is hard to tell what aspect ratio matches the pixel size of the captured image. An easy way to determine the aspect ratio of your digital photograph is by using this calculation:
Longest side / shortest side = x:1
So for example a 1200 x 1500 pixel image would be:
1500 / 1200 = 1.25:1
Images with the aspect ratio of 1.25:1 or equivalent ratio of 5:4 are generally printed at these sizes: 4" x 5" or 8" x 10" or 16" x 20"
Below is a list of aspect ratios to available Mpix print sizes:
Use this list to decide the aspect ratio to capture your image, or how to crop an image before uploading to Zenfolio.
Remember that when making a Price List, you have the option under "Customize Presentation" to show products that best fit the photo's aspect ratio in their own separate category.
Keywords: printing, digital image, print size, photographs

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks – interviewed at Riot Games.Interview Details
Phone call interview with 3 people from the team. They were interested in what experiences and interests I have in regards to rigging, environment, and particles. This particular position needs you to be fairly well-rounded. They asked about which languages I knew and what kind of projects I've done and scripting experience. I knew the position included python, c++, and javascript languages so had tried to focus on those. I've had a lot of game project experience with friends that I was also about to mention and talk about.
The onsite interview as long. Each person gets 11/2 hours to interview you with a total of 4 people. They started me with a lunch one-on-one. Then I went into the 'interview room' and it was one after another they came in. You are free to ask for a break but I went all the way through. Everyone was extremely kind and would clarify questions I didn't understand or know. I learned a lot from just that. We didn't really end up using the whole time so ended up with them asking "do you have any questions for me". I usually asked what they did specifically and what types of projects they were working on because I was interested. I also asked a few fun questions about what games they played and what they thought of LOL which got us into very awesome conversations.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Riot Games in March 2014.Interview Details
Talked to an employee at a Riot-hosted event at my college, who referred me to a company employee with whom I could talk about my potential involvement in the company. After speaking with him about my work an interests, he recommended I apply during the official internship process later that year.
When the intern applications opened, I submitted my app, which simply included my resume and a free-response cover letter. After a couple months (right in line with the stated response timeline), I received an email stating that I had been selected for the first round of interviews, and asking to schedule a time.
The first interview was a phone interview with a Data Science lead analyst, and ended up being a mix of technical and personal questions. The second interview was conducted via Skype with two Data Science researchers, one of whom was the person I had spoken with on the phone a few months earlier, and was way more technical. Finally, I was flown out to Santa Monica to visit Riot Games headquarters and have my third round of interviews, which were in person.
The day began with a tour of the offices, Q&A about the employees and process, and of course a couple games of League of Legends. I then began my interviews, each of which was with one or more people on the Data Science team, and each of which lasted for about an hour. The first one was more personal, touching on my background and experience, as well as how and why I thought I would be a good fit. The second was way more technical, and included programming challenges (which were fairly typical for a Computer Science interview) and a couple of more specific 'situational' problems - they would describe a data science problem to see how I would approach it, even though there was no strict right or wrong answer. They also discussed my previous work in the area. The final interview seemed to be looking at how I would do in a workplace environment, with questions about interpersonal relations and communication ability, as well as some technical questions towards the end.Interview Questions

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Riot Games in March 2014.Interview Details
I was reached out to by a non-recruiter after a project I created was noticed by one of Riot's internal teams. Total process took about 2 and a half weeks.
Began with an informal email back and forth to determine my interest in the company and potential positions — followed by two phone interviews. The first was with my potential hiring manager, the second was with a lead on the same design team. The interviews included both technical (skillset, how I've dealt with specific problems in the past, team cohesiveness) and non-technical questions (such as culture, personality, my background as a gamer and League of Legends).
After the two phone interviews I was invited for an on-site interview in Los Angeles for the following week.
The on-site was a full day from 10am until around 7pm. It included interviews with design stakeholders, leads on several of their other teams, VP's and a design challenge. The interviews individually ranged from informal and culture based to very technical (be prepared to answer very specific and direct questions about your methods, philosophy and process). The design challenge was tailored specifically to League of Legends and was different than most typical tech company design challenges.
There was one final phone interview two days after the on-site with a Director of the design program. It was basically asking any final questions, checking cultural fit and asking for general salary / benefits requirements.
Offer package was made the following day by the hiring manager.
Very important thing to note: If you are a gamer, be prepared to talk about it at length and have an opinion. If you're not a gamer, play League of Legends before you go for an on-site or even your second phone interview. Being active in the game and having an understanding of the community is extremely important. The company practices what it preaches when it comes to being player focused.Interview Questions

I initial applied for the position online, via Riot Games' website. I was contacted very soon after by an individual in human resources (I think) that did an initial phone screen. Upon passing the phone screen, the same individual scheduled a technical review with the team lead. A few weeks after the technical review, I was scheduled for another technical interview. This technical interview was more in-depth and covered a range of topics. This interview was followed up with an onsite interview.Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Riot Games in March 2014.Interview Details
Submitted an application online during their general "Call for intern applications". I completed the initial set of questions, and also wrote out a few pages of theory on resource gating theory. The resource theory stuff was unsolicited - they said to feel free to add anything you felt would help you stand out, and I decided to go the extra mile to show how I thought about my work.
Next round of selections was a number of game-specific questionnaires. These were pretty standard, and you could tell there were expected right and wrong answers, but the emphasis was on explaining your thought process.
Follow-on to that was a phone interview. Scheduling for this was pretty straightforward. The interview itself was very informal, which seems to be somewhat par for the course when interacting with Riot. The interviewer tried to put me at ease, and overall I really enjoyed the process - I really wanted the job, but I felt like my thoughts put forward in the interview would be considered even if I wasn't given the job. It was a nice feeling- that even during the interview I was participating, instead of being "looked down at" as I had felt on other interviews.
When I was asked to come out for the on-site interview, Riot was very accommodating about making it a positive experience for me - I had asked about picking dates and times to fly so that I could attend the LCS super week that was happening, and not only could they accommodate the schedule I was looking at, they were able to get tickets for me after they had sold out.
They set up the intern interviews in a group and solo environment: There are a large number of interns interviewing each day, but only one for each position per day. This meant that you were not alone in being new, but there was no one there you were competing against for a spot.
Interviews were done by setting the candidate up in a room and then a number of project leads came to you and had the interviews there. I appreciated not having to move around a lot - it gave me some time and space to become comfortable with, and to put out my best foot forward.
All of the interviewers seemed interested in helping me to make my best impression - there were no questions that I felt were "trick questions" - they were all real questions designed to see if you could think creatively on your feet.
The interview with Mr. Cadwell was the most difficult - his questions were less directly game related than any other, and really challenged my ability to adapt quickly. There was a good 5 minutes where I thought he might be in the wrong room and was looking for someone with a more computer-science oriented background, since he was asking a lot about machine learning, which is something I have never really done.
I was asked back to participate in a second day of interviews, since they felt there were additional teams that I might be a good fit for. The second day was a bit more scattered, as there were still the standard intern interviews going on, and then my interviews were on top of this, but it was again a positive experience. I was able to meet with the additional teams and spent some time talking with them. Again, it felt like my input was valued even though I was just an interview candidate, and that made me feel more at ease during the process.
Riot seems to keep the interns with a single recruiter through the entire process, which made keeping track of whom to contact very easy.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsThere wasn't a lot of room for negotiation on an internship position, but Riot made efforts to be communicative with me, and seemed to be keeping my best interests in mind at all times.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- Had a number of questions that centered around "How would you go about making a model to determine the price one should actually expect to pay on a house?" - apparently this was a side project that was being worked on in the office and they wanted to see how my thought process lined up with theirs.
The question caught me a bit off guard, since they started to get more into the technical aspects of how to build the model, which was actually pretty far afield from my area of expertise, but I suppose it was better that they push until failure rather than just contain themselves to easy questions.

Many employees eat, sleep, and breathe League of Legends or other PC games, and the "player perspective" that Riot has as a result of this truly allows us to connect with our players (customers) on the deepest level. Incredibly open, laid back culture. Things aren't sugar-coated, and you have to have thick skin to work here, but what this means is that if you're doing something that isn't working or is at odds with the culture, you're able to course-correct quickly. "Gamer" humor is injected into most company-wide communications, which helps add to our mantra of "not taking ourselves too seriously." Cross-disciplinary teams are the norm at Riot, and is one of the most remarkable things about working here. As QA, I have direct access to Design, Engineering, Art, and UX, and can talk to any of them with ease on a daily basis. It prevents scenarios where things are worked on in a vacuum and "tossed over" the wall for QA to check. We're redefining what it means to have test-driven development, and the result on the holistic product quality shows. There's no shortage of work to be done, and if you're a go-getter, you can rise quickly at Riot if you're delivering results and solving perceived problems in ways that add player value. I've been here for quite some time now and have seen people get hired in at very junior-level positions rise to management and product owner roles by identifying problems and working their butts off to solve them." – Full Review

DMX Is Arrested Over Flight Incident
DMX has taken his road-rage act to the air. The foghorn-throated rap superstar and co-star of movies Cradle 2 the Grave, Romeo Must Die and Exit Wounds, turned his impressive instrument upon the help when asked to buckle his seatbelt upon approach to London's Heathrow airport on an American Airlines flight from New York over the weekend.
Another rapper/actor has now learned what Snoop Dog gleaned a few weeks ago: the customer is not always right in and around British airports.
'Heathrow Police were called at 12:05 pm on Saturday to reports of a passenger causing a disturbance on an inbound aircraft,' a Scotland Yard official said in a statement. 'The plane landed at approximately 12:15 pm and a 35-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being verbally abusive to cabin crew.'
DMX -- real name Earl Simmons -- was released with a caution: ie, next time shut up and buckle your seatbelt.
The Baltimore-born, Yonkers-raised artist will release his sixth solo album, Year of the Dog, Again, this summer, and was heading to London for a 'secret launch party' scheduled for Tuesday. The star will also star in a reality series on BET this summer called DMX: Soul of a Man, where he will be seen visiting the kids in Arizona and driving fast.
Transportation and DMX do not get along. In 2004 he was arrested at JFK Airport in New York after coming unglued over a parking space and ramming a gate with his SUV. He then shattered the terms of his probation by driving with a suspended license at 104 mph in upstate New York. For good measure, driving again with a suspended license, he rammed a car, which in turn struck a police cruiser in the Bronx in '05.
In November of 2005, DMX was sentenced to serve 70 days on Rikers Island for the infractions, though he was released on December 30 for good behavior - no cars in the joint.

The Elite War On Our âBigotryâ
September 10, 2002
Heather Mac Donald
ANOTHER Islamic terror attack on American soil is coming, warned Tom Ridge, the presidents Homeland Security adviser, last week. Maybe after the next mass murder, the countrys elites will get serious about protecting the nation.
During the last year, it has rarely been clear which war we were fighting: the war on Islamic fanatics bent on destroying America, or the war on alleged American bigotry.
With stunning mental rigidity, the media, so-called victims advocates and civil libertarian absolutists (left and right) have painted each modest effort to improve the nations defenses as a dangerous eruption of intolerance or tyranny. As a result, the country is not even close to taking the measures needed to protect itself.
Some examples of elite hysteria:
* When Attorney General John Ashcroft announced plans to voluntarily interview young male visa-holders recently arrived from terror-breeding nations - a category that would have described nearly all the known Islamic terrorists who committed or conspired to commit murder on American soil upon their entry to the country - the press and the advocates howled about racist repression.
* When the INS and FBI detained a mere 1,200 men, mostly illegal aliens, on the basis of terror tips after 9/11 - a minute fraction of the Muslim and Arab population in America - the liberal media and Arab spokesmen invoked images of mass detention camps. Never mind that the detentions and subsequent deportations may have averted at least two more attacks, according to al Qaeda expert Rohan Gunaratna, a terror researcher at St. Andrews University.
* This August, law-enforcement authorities in Southern California arrested 81 airport workers, including 23 fugitives, who had forged phony security badges to gain access to airplanes, runways and cargo holds. One would think that protecting the nations airports would meet universal approval. Not so. Protesters charged that the fraud crack-down was insensitive to illegal aliens.
* Likewise, when the FBI broke a terror cell in Detroit last month and federal prosecutors simultaneously indicted over a dozen local men for providing phony immigration documents, Muslim leaders groused about ethnic profiling. It seems that one cant enforce the law anymore without being accused of bias.
The list of fake civil liberties and discrimination "crises" goes on and on. The USA Patriot Act made common-sensical changes to existing surveillance law to bring it up to date with modern technology. The ACLU and its congressional allies objected to virtually every change as a prelude to oppression.
Grandstanding judges have burst forth in mighty waves of preening verbiage while blocking actions that lie within the presidents plenary power to protect the country against enemies. Columnists and the legal professoriate ate their performance up.
No wonder, then, that far more essential reforms remain far off the table. The basic structure of intelligence law, an outdated relic of the Cold War and 1970s-era anti-government righteousness, remains intact, though it leaves us ill-prepared to detect killers on our soil.
That law, not FBI bumbling, was responsible for the Bureaus failure to search Zacarias Moussaouis terror-laden computer in August 2001. Under current rules, a green-card-holding Saudi imam who leads his followers in prayers for the destruction of America every Friday could not be surveilled. In New York City, the NYPD could not even ask a patriotic Muslim for information on the mosque.
The nations borders remain wide open to terrorists. But rather than reasserting the concept of national sovereignty, the country continues to dissolve the distinction between legal and illegal aliens.
Amazingly, California is close to granting drivers licenses to illegal aliens, even though next to the al Qaeda manual on incinerating non-believers, a drivers license is a terrorists best friend. Gov. Gray Daviss appeasing efforts to "moderate" this foolhardy legislation merely exacerbate the national sovereignty problem: Hed require the illegal license applicant to have worked 15 months over the previous three years, thus making not just one, but two, law violations a prerequisite for a valuable government benefit.
Immigrant-rights advocates, shameless in their indifference to the national good, are calling Daviss weak gestures in the direction of counterterrorism concerns a "constitutional" violation, though illegal aliens have no constitutional rights. Undoubtedly, they soon will.
We shouldnt have to wait for the next 3,000 people to die before we grant government the power both to track down the terrorists already among us and to keep out those waiting to get in. Serious reforms would severely limit immigration from countries where Islamic terrorism festers, because current intelligence capacity is wholly incapable of detecting the next Mohammad Atta.
We should rigorously track all immigrants once here, with the assistance of a national ID card. Law enforcement should not shrink from using the fact that every act of anti-American terrorism since 1983, with the exception of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, has been committed by Islamic radicals, almost all hailing from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
And if the elites continue to scream racism, the nation should stop listening.

Soccer-Snubbed Donovan to be television pundit
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 11
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 11 (Reuters) - Landon Donovan, controversially left out of the United States World Cup squad, has been added to television network ESPN's broadcast team for the tournament.
ESPN said in a statement that Donovan would focus primarily on games involving the United States who face Ghana, Portugal and Germany in Group G.
"Adding Landon to our ESPN roster just before the World Cup is a coup because he knows the United States team better than anyone having played such a huge role in its success, especially at this event," said Jed Drake, ESPN senior vice president and executive producer.
"Landon is also one of this country's biggest sports stars and we believe that he will help attract even more fans to our month-long coverage."
Donovan will not travel to Brazil but will comment for the sports network from a studio in Los Angeles.
United States coach Juergen Klinsmann's decision to leave the 32-year-old Donovan out of his 23-man squad provoked fierce debate among American fans.
Donovan played in the last three World Cups and is his country's all-time top scorer with 57 goals in 156 games. (Reporting by Simon Evans, editing by Ed Osmond)

Thus far in 2010, Jim Jones has kept a relatively low Booth profile, surfacing only for Dipset reunion cut Salute and the odd guest appearance. So, what's the self-proclaimed "King of Harlem" been up to for the last nine months or so? Getting high, of course! Oh, and working on a brand new album. Heralding the project's arrival is freshly-released single Blow Your Smoke, a slow-rolling affair which finds Jones enjoying a leisurely, weed-enhanced drive through the city streets. Frequent Starrs & Murph collaborator araabMUZIK mans the boards, cooking up a dreamy, synth-laced instrumental sure to please the smokers (as well as those who prefer to vibe out without chemical assistance). Fittingly, Jones' verses find him in mellower form than usual. "Relaxed" might be an overstatement, though – keeping a wary eye out for cops or lawbreakers who might try and ruin his good time, he admits: "I stay strapped case a n*gga might run up." So, readers, will you be flipping this one on at your next smoking session (or, for those who don't partake… um… yoga class)? Those digging it should stay tuned for the latest leading up to the November arrival of Capo, the artist's fifth full-length.

The White Sox to sign Jeff Keppinger to a three-year, $12 million deal
Dec 5, 2012, 1:28 PM EST
Jeff Keppinger has, in a thin market for infielders, been a hot property this week. Now Jon Heyman reports that the White Sox are going to sign him for three years and $12 million.
The Yankees were said to be extremely interested in him, but were wary about giving him a contract of any significant length.
Keppinger hit .325/.367/.439 with nine home runs and 40 RBI in 418 plate appearances this past season for Tampa Bay while making appearances at third base, second base, first base and designated hitter. Even for three years, that's an extremely useful player to have.

INTERVIEW - Opposition chief tells Singaporeans: Don't be afraid
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - It is time for people in one-party ruled Singapore to have more say in politics and not be fearful of a change of government, a hedge fund manager turned opposition leader said on Friday.
Kenneth Jeyaretnam, whose late father and veteran opposition leader was bankrupted in defamation lawsuits by the ruling People's Action Party (PAP), said his two-year-old Reform Party was encouraging people to come out and offer different views.
"Firstly, do not be afraid. You have a right to exercise, to have a say, in how your country is run," Jeyaretnam told Reuters in an interview at his apartment, filled with pictures of his father, in an upmarket neighbourhood of Singapore.
"Singapore is not going to collapse. Competition in politics is as necessary as it is in economics to ensure efficiency."
Jeyaretnam, 51, who graduated from Cambridge in 1983 with double-first class honours in economics and once ran a London-based hedge fund, said his party was aiming for the same audience as the PAP in the next election, due by February 2012.
The PAP, which has led Singapore for 50 years, has never lost more than four seats in any poll. Opposition parties are small and factional.
The Reform Party plans to field 10-15 candidates in the next poll, which would mean contesting fewer than 20 percent of the current seats.
The government has offered to nominate more opposition members to parliament, but few analysts expect real change.
Investors have been drawn to Singapore, a financial centre and manufacturing hub, for its stability.
The Reform Party was founded in July 2008 by Jeyaretnam's father, Joshua Benjamin Jeyaretnam or JBJ, just before he died. Jeyaretnam said it is slowly gaining party members, though many prefer to be volunteers because they hold state jobs.
Choosing his words carefully, Jeyaretnam said he would focus his political campaign on offering alternative policies rather than attacking personalitities in the PAP or the government.
The Reform Party proposes the possible privatisation of Singapore's two multi-billion dollar state wealth funds -- Government of Singapore Investment Corp and Temasek -- to allow more transparency.
"Obviously if they were privatised and listed on the stock market then they will have to ensure higher standards of disclosure," said the former banker, whose background is more akin to the PAP's scholarly leaders.
"It is unusual that we have seen big losses during the financial crisis yet no heads appear to have rolled among senior management."
GIC's chairman is former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and Temasek is headed by the current prime minister's wife Ho Ching.
Jeyaretnam would keep taxes low to make Singapore a top investment destination, but said a wider healthcare system was needed to deal with an ageing population.
"I don't think Singapore can avoid moving towards some form of universal health insurance," he said. "We've got to start treating health as an investment good rather than just a cost or a welfare drain on the economy."

Austal has won the contract to design and build the US Department of Defense's next generation multi-use platform, the Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV), as part of a program potentially worth over US$1.6 billion.
As Prime contractor, Austal will design and construct the first 103-metre JHSV, with options for 9 additional vessels expected to be exercised between FY09 and FY13.
Similar to the Austal-built "WestPac Express" operated by the US Marines for the past seven years, the JHSV will be capable of transporting troops and their equipment, supporting humanitarian relief efforts, operating in shallow waters and reaching speeds in excess of 35 knots fully loaded. The vessels will be a joint-use platform operated by both the United States Army and Navy.
The vessels will be built at Austal's US shipyard located in Mobile, Alabama, where work is continuing on the first phase of a new Modular Manufacturing Facility (MMF). Upon completion in mid-2009, the first half of the 70,000 m2 MMF will be available for the fabrication of all JHSV modules.
Austal USA's 1000-strong workforce, which is currently completing the US Navy's 127 metre Littoral Combat Ship "Independence" (LCS 2), as well as a 113 metre high speed catamaran for Hawaii Superferry, will grow to more than 1500 as a result of the JHSV program.
"As demonstrated by the two Hawaii Superferry vessels recently constructed at our Mobile, Alabama facilities, our US shipyard has the capability to deliver large high speed advanced aluminium platforms on time and on budget - a capability which will be further enhanced upon completion of the MMF and the expansion of our US workforce," Mr Browning said.
Sea trials of the recently-christened "Independence" (LCS 2) are scheduled to commence early next year. Mr Browning said the US Navy's ongoing commitment to a 55-vessel LCS program, as part of its 313 ship fleet, meant there was strong chance Austal would be awarded a second LCS in early 2009.
Austal is teamed with General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, who will design, integrate, and test the JHSV's electronic systems, including an Open Architecture Computing Infrastructure, internal and external communications, electronic navigation, aviation, and armament systems.

19 promises: A year after Arizona tragedy, firefighter's widow filled with gratitude
Stuart Johnson, Deseret News
YARNELL, Ariz. — There's one room in Juliann Ashcraft's home that serves a solemn, almost sacred purpose.
Dozens of framed pictures of a mustached man with his family and comrades cover the room's walls. An immaculate glass curio cabinet proudly displays a firefighter's helmet, a weathered pair of boots, a charred silicone bracelet and several folded American flags — all carefully arranged.
Somewhat apart, hanging on a wall near the corner, there is a simple framed list, a memento different from the others, bearing the signature of her husband, Andrew Ashcraft.
He was one of 19 firefighters who died in a wildfire near Yarnell, Arizona. Now, a year later and still struggling to understand, Juliann Ashcraft looks at the photos and memories in the cabinet like they were pieces of an unsolved puzzle.
"It's been a year, and I still can't wrap my head around it," she said.
The 29-year-old mother of four said she hopes to one day make sense of what happened. For now, the thought of losing in one instant her husband, whom she knew since she was eight years old, and 18 other elite firefighters remains a senseless calamity.
"I used to dream of growing old with Andrew, and now I feel guilty for growing old at all," she said.
But grief and uncertainty are obstacles Ashcraft and her children, ages 2-7, are learning to live with a little more each day.
"I still feel broken in a lot of aspects in my life, but I think we're doing OK," she said. "As a family, we're learning what normal is like now and we're taking one day at a time."
'Dad's not coming home'
It was about 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 30, 2013 when Juliann Ashcraft started getting alarming phone messages from friends. Her husband was in his third season with the Granite Mountain Interagency Hotshot Crew out of Prescott, Arizona. He was on a fire in Yarnell, a small town about 30 miles to the south, but there hadn't been a cause for concern.
The messages, however, kept on coming: "Have you heard from Andrew? Is Andrew OK? When was the last time you heard from him?"
Juliann turned on the news and listened helplessly with her children to reports that all but one or two of the Granite Mountain Hotshots were gone.
Eventually, one of the children asked the unthinkable: "Mom, is Daddy dead?"
She remembers her own conflicted reaction: "I think because I couldn't really believe it, I couldn't cry. I couldn't do anything. And part of me ... was still trying to hold out some sort of hope until I'd heard. The way that I felt inside was a pit in my stomach that I can never explain. ... It was just this complete unknown territory."
For the next three hours, Juliann waited in agonizing incertitude until a county sheriff and a wildfire official came to her home.
"When they walked up, obviously, I knew," she said. "They didn't even say anything, and I just kind of collapsed."
The two officials recounted what was known so far.
The Granite Mountain Hotshots were assigned that day to the Yarnell Hill Fire. Intense shifting winds caused the fire to change directions and spread rapidly. Somehow, Andrew Ashcraft and the other firefighters became trapped by the flame front and had to deploy their fire shelters — a cocoon-like foil blanket used to block radiant heat.
Crew member Brendan McDonough, who was on another part of the fire, was Granite Mountain's sole survivor.

News : Howling wind wipes out umpire reviews
News : McCullum survives the storm as hosts eye safety
Report : Solid McCullum stands firm in windy Wellington
Players/Officials: Nathan Hauritz | Mitchell Johnson | Brendon McCullum
Series/Tournaments: Australia tour of New Zealand
Teams: Australia | New Zealand
The windy city
The first three days didn't feature the windiest of Wellington's conditions but come day four, the weather was wild. Extreme wind and blowy rain delayed the start of play by half an hour and getting the covers on was a hassle. Worse came for the groundstaff when the rain stopped. The big cover used for the square was carried to the boundary before blowing away, and only one tenacious man managed to hang on to it and prevent it flying over the fence and out of the ground, although he was dragged quite a few metres in the process. Meanwhile, a member of the groundstaff was standing on the smaller cover still on the pitch. The cover blew out from under his feet and he landed with a thud on the pitch
All Black support
The north-westerly wind gusts of up to 120kph also blew the roller over before play and later in the day the helmet sitting behind Brad Haddin rolled away to fine leg. It caused problems for the fans sitting on the grassy hill, where only a few hardy souls braved the conditions. One of the most prominent amongst them was Jason Eaton, the lock for the All Blacks. Eaton has the protection of some magnificent facial hair and was hiding under a tarpaulin, but showed his toughness by wearing shorts under the covers. The Met Service called the wind a gale but advised that only one layer of clothing was required, so tough are those New Zealanders. The Australian fielders, shivering in their shirts and vests, didn't agree.
Six and out of the ground
The Basin Reserve feels like a small-town ground and the match started to seem like a club game with all the comical events of the day. It all culminated in Nathan Hauritz leaving the premises and venturing out onto Rugby Street to look for the ball after Brendon McCullum hooked a six off Mitchell Johnson. Hauritz might have been risking life and limb on one of the busiest roads in Wellington and he came back empty-handed. The ground announcer casually told the spectators "well, we've lost the ball," but soon afterwards a fan found it and play resumed. "It crashed into a van," Hauritz said. "So I thought it would have been still around there but it was nowhere to be found. I don't know where it went. The traffic wasn't beeping at me or anything like that."
Mitch uses his head, again
Johnson's head-clash with Scott Styris sparked up the one-day series and he used his noggin again today, though not deliberately. When the players were walking out after a short bad-light delay - another farcical element as it lasted about ten minutes just after lunch - the umpire Ian Gould bowled the ball to Johnson, who was starting up for Australia. Unfortunately, Johnson wasn't watching and the ball hit him in the head. Two balls later, Johnson missed a caught-and-bowled chance off Daniel Vettori and nearly copped another blow to the skull.
Visiting the ref
Daniel Vettori's journey up the grandstands to the match referee's room on the third day caused a tense Q&A between Mark Greatbatch and a New Zealand reporter. However, Javagal Srinath cleared up the issue the following day and said that Vettori's visit was nothing out of the ordinary. "He wanted to clarify something," Srinath said. "Look, I go down and talk to them all the time. It was just that he wanted to understand the way the caught-behind was working. That's it. There was nothing really serious about it. It was not unusual. The problem was that he had to walk through the public to come all the way up here to talk to me. But it is not a new thing that has happened. It has happened several times."

Choosing a Cell Plan
Last month I had the opportunity to talk with consumers on Bob McCormick's Money 101 radio talk show on KNX1070 in California. We got the chance to chat with callers about various problems and tips on how to choose the right cell phone and plan. I've listed a summary of our discussions which includes a lot of helpful information
- According to Consumer Reports? largest-ever survey of cell phone users, only 47 percent of people say they?re completely or very satisfied with their wireless carrier.
- Most say they?re only 67 percent satisfied?a D-plus if you want to think of it in terms of letter grades.
- 31 percent of people say they?re seriously considering switching providers. The number one reason? Poor phone service followed by price.
- But the L-A Times says cell phone carriers are trying harder. They site data from the F-C-C that shows the number of consumer complaints has dropped 16 percent in the first nine months this year. Fewer people are griping about billing and rates'that number fell by 13 percent.
- 86 percent of cell phone subscribers use Cingular, Verizon, Sprint, or T-Mobile.
- Cingular is the largest carrier. They've got 52-point-3 million users. It's simplified its contracts by laying out all the charges upfront and extended its return policy to 30 days. It's also trying to quicken its cell phone Internet service to provide information more quickly.
- Verizon Wireless comes in at number two with 49-point-3 million customers. It's a perennial leader in surveys for the best cell phone service. It goes through an extensive checklist with new buyers to make sure the phone and features work BEFORE the customers leave the store. They started that policy 18 months ago when they realized that service wasn't keeping up with explosive growth.
- Sprint is the third-largest provider with 45-point-6 million users ditched high overages with its Fair & Flexible plan. It automatically gives subscribers 50 extra minutes for $5 more if they go over their allotted minutes. It also has plans to let customers take incoming calls free, and it ditched unpopular mail-in rebates in favor of instant ones.
- T-Mobile, fourth-largest with 20-point-3 million subscribers, has a detailed map on its website to help customers determine what the coverage is like in their area. It's now ranked generally as the best or second-best carrier in the nation.
The three things you need to know before you sign on the dotted line (Source: Washington Post)
- Know which plan most of your friends and family have. Most carriers now allow you to talk to others FREE at any time throughout the day as long as you've got the same service.
- Know what kind of phone you want. Sprint and T-Mobile are the smartphone's most aggressive marketers. So if you?re looking for the latest Treo, you might want to start there.
- Know when you use the phone most. Sprint's got plans that start your free unlimited calling at 7pm, so if you start yacking right after dinner, that might be the way to go. Otherwise, most other carriers start at 9pm. Some, however, cut off your free calls at 6am while others extend it 'till 7. So check with the carrier if you make a lot of early morning calls.
(Source:JD Power and Associates)
- More than half of wireless users have contacted their carrier's customer service department within the last six months?mostly via phone.
- We hold for an average of three-and-a-half minutes.
- More than 40 percent of customers needed to talk to their provider about a billing issue.
- T-MOBILE AND VERIZON TIED FOR THE BEST WIRELESS SERVICE IN CALIFORNIA'this according to a consumer survey by J-D Power and Associates.
(Source: F-C-C)
- Keep in mind that you may sometimes be billed for a call you placed or a service you used but the description on the bill could be unclear. If you don't know what you?re being billed for, ask the company to explain the charge BEFORE you pay the bill.
- Keep a record of the services you've authorized and used. If your bill seems high, check it against your list.
- If you think a company's charges are too high, vote with your dollars. Find out about termination fees and make sure your provider knows why you?re leaving?who knows'they may offer you a better deal!
- Buying too few minutes. If you think you?re cutting it close, spend the extra $5 or $10 a month for more minutes. Overage charges can cost you 25-to-50 cents per minute. That means you could end up paying two-to-three times as much for those extra minutes if you go over.
- Not having the best plan for your needs. Some carriers have as many as 25 plans. So call your carrier every 3 months and see if they've got a new one that might serve you better.
- Off-peak packages. Are you paying more for more FREE minutes on nights and weekends? That means you?re just converting your ?anytime? minutes into ?peak? minutes. So if you go over your allotted package, you?ll pay a lot more than if you just stuck to the free nights and weekends.
- It's a toss-up between the T-Mobile Get More 1000 plus plan for $50 a month and Verizon's America's Choice 900.
- T-Mobile charges a $35 activation fee, 40 cents per minute if you go over, and offers free nights and weekends. Nights begin at 9pm and end at 7am.
- You can add mobile-to-mobile minutes for another $8 a month.
- Those 900 minutes at Verizon will cost you $60 monthly plus a $35 activation fee.
- It may be more expensive per minute but you get free mobile-to-mobile.
- Nights and weekends end at 5:59 am.
- So if you use lots of peak minutes, the T-Mobile is a wise choice. But if you know a lot of Verizon subscribers, that may be the way to go.

PM's hysterical revisionism
More than a soldier's story, Opinion June10
Share via Email
Re: More than a soldier's story, Opinion June10
Thanks to Arnold Neufeldt-Fast's opinion piece, we can see that Conservative revisionism on the War of 1812 is more hysterical than historical. Calandra's version of history is tailored to fit Stephen Harper's agenda.
Posturing as more patriotic than thou in everything from the monarchy to nationalism, the Conservatives want Canadians to believe that they are on guard for Canada by standing up for law and order, capitalism, and yes, even the work ethic.
They spare nothing to accomplish their goal, which is really to Americanize Canada. They are even prepared to spend countless billions of our dollars on jets and jails while our unique social fabric unravels and our infrastructure crumbles.
Are we actually going to let the Conservatives have their way with Canada, especially in Parliament? If we do, then Harper will surely re-write history to his liking, as do all war victors.

Booked this as a quiet relaxing place to stay compared to the city centre where we wanted to do some Xmas shopping! Really glad we decided on this option as we got the best of both worlds! Loved the location, pretty and charming but we were able to get to the shops in about 25 mins. Breakfast really lived up to the previous reviews and the owners were really friendly and welcoming! Pub next door serves excellent food! Would love to go back for more than one night!
Having to leave after only one nights stay!
Comfort, breakfast choices, company and general welcome.
One of the best B&B's I have ever used. Excellent value for money. Very comfortable, well equipped room and a superb breakfast. Pub next door does good food. Close to Manchester but very quiet and peaceful country location.
No dislikes at all.
Location. Décor. Bed and bedroom. Breakfast and friendly service. A very peaceful and pleasant guest house.
Nothing to dislike.
This is the second time we've stayed at Ash Farm Country House and I hope it won't be the last. In my opinion, the hosts have got everything just right and it's nice that they make time to have a chat. It's in a great location for walks on the canal or round Dunham Massey. Our second visit to the Swan With Two Nicks was also good.
Breakfast was way above usual standards and included in the price.
Breakfast was excellent
David greeted me with a warm welcome and showed me to a clean, comfortable and characterful room. It was very peaceful and I slept very well. In the morning I was shown to a table by the window with a lovely view over fields. There was an open fire and a very good music mix playing. Breakfast was amazing - so much choice and quality. Eat lightly the night before to make the most of it!

Manchester United winger Nani has signed a new five-year contract with the Old Trafford outfit.
There had been speculation the Portugal international would leave United this summer.
Instead, he has signed a deal that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2018.
"I'm really pleased Nani has re-signed for the next five years," said United boss David Moyes.
"He has great ability and experience and beyond his 26 years."
Following the capture of Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace, it did seem United had a wide player too many given the presence of Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia in the Red Devils squad.
With a year remaining on his contract, and the transfer deadline just passed, there did appear an obvious need to secure Nani's services for an additional amount of time in order to prevent him leaving for nothing in 12 months.
Yet the length of contract does indicate Moyes has faith in a player who has struggled to consistently hit the heights during his six years at the club.
"I've been impressed with his approach to training and look forward to working with him in the coming seasons," added Moyes.
Nani does boast an impressive medal collection since his £17million move from Sporting Lisbon.
He was part of the Champions League-winning squad in his debut campaign, scoring a crucial penalty in the shoot-out triumph over Chelsea.
Last season he won the Premier League for the fourth time and whilst there was talk he was unhappy at the terms he was offered to remain at United last season, it seems now he is much happier.
"Playing at United has been a fantastic experience for me," he said. "When I came to the club, I never imagined the success we have enjoyed.
"Training every day with top players who want to win trophies every year is a great motivation to me.
"I'm very happy that the new manager has shown this faith in me and I'm looking forward to helping the team compete for more honours this season."
