What is Grunt?
Grunt is a JavaScript based task runner. What this means is that it will help you spend less time manually running tasks that can be automated.
Grunt comes with many pre-built tasks available and that can automate the majority of a developer's typical work flow. You also have the facility to write your own custom tasks if you have a specific requirement that isn't already catered for.
There are approximately 700+ tasks built for Grunt (as of May 2013) and the list is growing. Some of the most popular tasks I'll be covering in this article…
- Sass (CSS pre-processor)
- RequireJS (AMD/script loader)
- JSHint (JavaScript code quality)
- Jasmine BDD (Behaviour-Driven Unit Testing framework)
- ImageMin (Image minification)
- HTMLMin (HTML minification)
See the Grunt Plugins page for a more comprehensive list (but also check GitHub).
Grunt uses Node.js and Node's package manager system (NPM) to handle the installation of Grunt tasks.
Essentially (as of Grunt 0.4) there are three items you need to install to get up and running with Grunt…
- Node.js
- Grunt CLI (command line interface)
The easiest way to install these are using Homebrew which is an excellent package manager for OS X (if you use Windows, my apologies but you're on your own).
Your mileage may vary, but if you have homebrew installed you can run the following commands via your terminal to install Node.js and NPM:
brew install node.
The next step is to install Grunt CLI which you can do using:
npm install -g grunt-cli (the
-g means to install it globally on your OS so that you can use the
grunt command where ever you are on your system).
Now you'll also want to run:
npm install -g grunt-init and once that's done you've effectively installed the basic requirements for Grunt.
Before you can start using Grunt you'll need a
package.json file which stores all the base configuration settings.
To automatically generate this file run:
npm init.
Below is the
package.json file for my Grunt Boilerplate project...
"name": "Grunt Boilerplate",
"version": "0.1.0",
"description": "This is a project set-up using Grunt to take case of some standard tasks such as: compiling AMD based modules using RequireJS, watching/compiling Sass into CSS, watching/linting JS code and some other things such as running unit tests",
"main": "Gruntfile.js",
"dependencies": {},
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "~0.4.1",
"grunt-contrib-watch": "~0.3.1",
"grunt-contrib-jshint": "~0.4.3",

"grunt-contrib-requirejs": "~0.4.0",
"grunt-contrib-sass": "~0.3.0",
"grunt-contrib-imagemin": "~0.1.4",
"grunt-contrib-htmlmin": "~0.1.3",
"grunt-contrib-jasmine": "~0.4.2",
"grunt-template-jasmine-istanbul": "~0.2.1",
"grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs": "~0.1.1",
"grunt-contrib-connect": "~0.3.0"
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "firstname.lastname@example.com:Integralist/Grunt-Boilerplate.git"
"keywords": [
"author": "Mark McDonnell",
"license": "MIT"
…most of it is populated with content I provided when I ran
npm init and the rest (such as
devDependencies) was automatically generated for me when I started installing Grunt tasks (see next section).
Typically we don't want dependencies we install to be installed globally (remember we installed Grunt globally using the
-g flag).
The reason being, the dependencies you install for Project X might be different from your next project.
For example, you might install a Grunt task with a version number of 1.0 and by the time you start your next project that task might have been updated to version 2.0 and part of the major version update was a complete change in their API. So if you globally updated the task, your last project would break as it's using the old API.
But you still want to use the latest and greatest version of that task. So instead of installing your dependencies globally, install them locally (e.g. install them into the specific project you're currently working on) which means there will no chance of conflicts between projects.
Below are the tasks I install locally as part of my Grunt Boilerplate project…
npm install grunt --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-watch --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-jshint --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-uglify --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-requirejs --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-sass --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-imagemin --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-htmlmin --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-connect --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-jasmine --save-dev
npm install grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs --save-dev
…a couple of things to note here are: the first item you see me install is Grunt itself (which is separated from the Grunt CLI). As we've already discussed, it means we can install different versions of Grunt if we want (depending on the project requirements).
The other thing is the use of the
--save-dev flag which means our
package.json file gets automatically updated to include the dependency we've just installed.
Because these dependencies are installed locally, you'll notice a new
node_modules folder has appeared within your project. This folder holds all of the above dependencies/tasks we've just installed.
I suggest you create a
.gitignore file (you are using Git for your version control system, right?) that ignores this folder (you don't want to end up pushing these modules into your repo for other users to pull down, best to let them install these themselves as per my instructions above).
OK, now that we have all the dependencies/tasks installed, lets look at the remaining piece of the puzzle, the
Gruntfile.js is the main set-up file and contains the settings for each task we have installed.
Because Grunt is run using Node.js you'll notice the content of the file is wrapped in a closure and assigned to a module
exports property…
module.exports = function (grunt) {
// our Grunt task settings
…within the function we call
initConfig on the Grunt object, and we pass through an object literal holding our task settings.
One of the first properties we set is
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json') which means that from within the other properties of our object we can access settings specified within our
package.json configuration file.
For example, if we wanted to access the name of our package (which if you remember was set
"name":"Grunt Boilerplate") then we could access it from within our object using
<%= pkg.name %>.
From here, this is where we now start to explore the different tasks we previously installed (for full details of each task's own settings please go to their corresponding website/github repo).
The Sass task allows us to compile our Sass files into CSS.
Here is an example...
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
style: 'compressed',
require: ['./assets/styles/sass/helpers/url64.rb']
expand: true,
cwd: './app/styles/sass/',
src: ['*.scss'],
dest: './app/styles/',
ext: '.css'
dev: {
options: {
style: 'expanded',
debugInfo: true,
lineNumbers: true,
require: ['./app/styles/sass/helpers/url64.rb']
expand: true,
cwd: './app/styles/sass/',
src: ['*.scss'],
dest: './app/styles/',
ext: '.css'
You'll see in the above example we've set-up two sub tasks
dist and
The reason I've created two sub tasks is because while I'm developing my application I want my Sass files to compile in to expanded CSS (including debugging information), but when I finish my project I want to compile my Sass files in to compressed/minified CSS instead.
You'll see for each sub task I specify a
options object which tells the compiler how I want the Sass to be compiled and where to find any additional Sass helper scripts.
You'll find in my Grunt Boilerplate (used in the above example) that I include a Sass helper script
require: ['./app/styles/sass/helpers/url64.rb'] which allows you to use a special Sass function to convert a background image into a Base64 encoded string which is better performing than making an additional HTTP request for an image to be used - it also works around the IE8 issue where an Base64 encoded string can't be greater than 32kb of data.
Finally, we are using a Grunt specific pattern that allows us to better target and export multiple files:
expand: true. Effectively that setting allows the other properties to follow it to be activated (if we didn't have
expand: true set then the properties following it wouldn't work).
Let's look at the other properties a little bit closer, as you'll see them used in other tasks in a similar way so it's important for you to understand how they work…
cwd: './app/styles/sass/' - here I'm setting the 'current working directory' (this is where I want Grunt to find my Sass files).
src: ['*.scss'] - here I'm telling Grunt that I want it to look for any
scss files within my 'current working directory'.
dest: './app/styles/' - here I'm telling Grunt that I want it to export the files to this directory.
ext: '.css' - and that I want each exported file to have an extension of
To run this specific task we could open our terminal and execute:
grunt sass (which would execute both sub tasks), or we could run a specific sub task like so:
grunt sass:dev.
I won't explain the running of specific tasks again from here because effectively it's exactly the same for all tasks.
This task is effectively the
r.js build script that comes with RequireJS so I won't go into the details of how to write a build script - I'll instead refer you to the r.js documentation, but know that the following has exactly the same settings as you would have used for
r.js previously…
requirejs: {
compile: {
options: {
baseUrl: './app',
mainConfigFile: './app/main.js',
dir: './app/release/',
fileExclusionRegExp: /^\.|node_modules|Gruntfile|\.md|package.json/,
modules: [
name: 'main'
JSHint is a task that mimics the web interface in that it lets you specify files to lint (i.e. makes sure the code is written with valid syntax according to a set of rules you want it to abide by)…
jshint: {
files: ['Gruntfile.js', 'app/**/*.js', '!app/release/**', 'modules/**/*.js', 'specs/**/*Spec.js'],
options: {
curly: true,
eqeqeq: true,
immed: true,
latedef: true,
newcap: true,
noarg: true,
sub: true,
undef: true,
boss: true,
eqnull: true,
browser: true,
globals: {
module: true,
require: true,
requirejs: true,
define: true,
// Environments
console: true,
// General Purpose Libraries
$: true,
jQuery: true,
// Testing
sinon: true,
describe: true,
it: true,
expect: true,
beforeEach: true,
afterEach: true
…some things to note: we're using the bang operator
! to tell Grunt to ignore specific directories. So you'll see we said
Also, you'll see we've told JSHint about certain variables that we expect to be present (i.e. to be globally available). We need to do this because JSHint inspects our JavaScript files in isolation so although when we run our application all the scripts are loaded together, at the time of linting JSHint isn't aware of these different globals and so if we didn't tell it about them it would just error.
Finally, for the full list of rules that JSHint abides by see the JSHint site.
Jasmine BDD
Jasmine is a Behaviour-Driven unit testing framework and assertion library.
This is probably one the most complicated task we cover because it requires a few other tasks.
The first first task it relies on is the
connect task which fires up a web server using PhantomJS. But realise that this isn't required if your scripts have no DOM interaction (unlikely if you're doing web development), but because we're doing DOM manipulation and we're testing that interaction we need a DOM to test against, hence the need for the
connect web server task…
connect: {
test: {
port: 8000
…after that we set-up the actual
jasmine task…
jasmine: {
src: ['app/**/*.js', '!app/release/**'],
options: {
host: 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/',
specs: 'specs/**/*Spec.js',
helpers: ['specs/helpers/*Helper.js', 'specs/helpers/sinon.js'],
template: require('grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs'),
templateOptions: {
requireConfig: {
baseUrl: './app/',
mainConfigFile: './app/main.js'
…you'll see we have specified a
host option which relates to the
connect web server task.
We also
specs option where we tell Grunt where to find out BDD spec/test files.
We have a
helpers option where we can load additional scripts required for us to utilise for testing (this is where I load an additional script called Sinon.js which handles Spies, Mocks and Stubs within our unit tests).
Next comes the other complicated part of this task: we need a 'template' sub task which is specifically built for Jasmine
You'll see that we just need to tell
grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs where our base JS directory is and which file is the main AMD file to bootstrap our application. In the background the task generates a
_SpecRunner.html file which basically requires in every single AMD modules and then starts running our tests within a callback once all the modules are loaded. It's not the greatest solution but it works.
If the tests pass then the
_SpecRunner.html is removed so you never notice it, but if there are any failing tests then the file is left in your root directory so you can inspect the file and run it manually via a real web browser and try and debug any failing tests.
Image Minification
The ImageMin task does exactly what you would expect, it searches out any images it finds (png or jpg format) and compresses them so they are smaller in file size.
As you can see from the below example we're using the
expand: true setting (and subsequent settings) to tell Grunt where to find our images and where to export them to…
imagemin: {
png: {
options: {
optimizationLevel: 7
files: [
expand: true,
cwd: './app/images/',
src: ['**/*.png'],
dest: './app/images/compressed/',
ext: '.png'
jpg: {
options: {
progressive: true
files: [
expand: true,
cwd: './app/images/',
src: ['**/*.jpg'],
dest: './app/images/compressed/',
ext: '.jpg'
HTML Minification
The HTMLMin task does exactly what you would expect, it searches out any HTML files it finds and compresses them so they are minified and thus smaller in file size.
As you can see from the below example we've NOT used the
expand: true setting but instead this task provided a slightly different api to let us tell Grunt where to find our HTML files and where to export the minified versions to (but effectively we could use
expand: true if we wanted)…
htmlmin: {
dist: {
options: {
removeComments: true,
collapseWhitespace: true,
removeEmptyAttributes: true,
removeCommentsFromCDATA: true,
removeRedundantAttributes: true,
collapseBooleanAttributes: true
files: {
// Destination : Source
'./index-min.html': './index.html'
Registering tasks
So far we've looked at running specific Grunt tasks like so:
grunt sass:dev and
grunt jshint but you can also set-up a custom task which does nothing but run other tasks.
For example, you could create a task which when run would execute a specific set of tasks…
grunt.registerTask('release', ['jshint', 'jasmine', 'requirejs', 'sass:dist', 'imagemin', 'htmlmin']);
…in the above example we've created a 'release' task which when run will get our files ready to be pushed to our production environment. I would typically run this task when I was finished building my application.
dist Sass sub task (the one specifically for our production server, so it minifies all the compiled CSS), it then finally minifies any images it finds and minifies our HTML files.
When you execute the command
grunt by itself then it will look for a registered task called
grunt.registerTask('default', ['jshint', 'connect', 'jasmine', 'sass:dev']);
…in this case we're telling it to execute our JavaScript linting task, then to check our unit tests are still passing and finally to generate debug versions of our CSS.
Watching files
Instead of manually running a Grunt command every time we make a change (e.g. imagine making a change to your Sass file and then having to go to the terminal and running
grunt sass:dev to get the Sass to compile to CSS just so you can see the change reflected in your browser), we can instead get Grunt to do the hard work for us and to automatically run a task (or multiple tasks) whenever a specific set of files have been changed/updated…
watch: {
files: ['<%= jshint.files %>', '<%= jasmine.options.specs %>', '<%= sass.dev.src %>'],
tasks: 'default'
…here you can see we're using the 'watch' task along with a specific interpolation syntax to let it know what files to keep an eye on for us.
The syntax is:
<%= jshint.files %> and in this instance it means "look at the
jshint property and return the value set on its sub property
So as you can see from the above example, we're telling the watch task to look out for any changes made to our JavaScript and Sass files, and if so run the
default registered task.
Our full Grunt file
You can find the full file on my Grunt Boilerplate repo
Hopefully this guide gives you a good starting point to begin using Grunt to automate more of your work flow. It's an extremely powerful tool and we haven't even begun to scratch the surface as there is the custom task features built-in that let you write your own tasks that interact with the file system and do pretty much anything you want. Well worth investigating further.
Note: my Grunt Boilerplate project is constantly being updated so watch the repo to keep up to speed.
Since my original work on Grunt Boilerplate there has been lots of new tips and tricks that have come to light. I'll briefly list them below and leave it up to the reader to investigate further...
- Display the elapsed execution time of grunt tasks using:
- Dynamically load Grunt tasks using:
require('load-grunt-tasks')(grunt, ['grunt-*']);and not manually calling
grunt.loadNpmTasksfor every task
- When using
grunt.registerTaskfor custom tasks you can keep your files cleaner by first loading each task as a separate script file (e.g.
var tasks = require('./scripts/grunt')(grunt);). See here for full example of externalised task
- Move your JSHint configuration settings into a
.jshintrcfile and point the JSHint task to that file (example)

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2012. How will this year be different from last year? One of my favorite parts of starting a new year are making New Year's resolutions. It's a chance to get back on your feet, kick a bad habit, reinvent yourself, or taking a small step toward your overall goal.
"I'm going to live up to my New Year's resolution this year," I tell myself right before the ball drops. However, every resolution seems to be forgotten about halfway through January. It seems that no matter what I promise myself, I'm terrible at living up to this personal change.
And it seems I'm not alone in this. In a recent, completely unscientific and un-official poll of people I know, 8 out of 10 of my friends don't keep their resolutions. How many of you have kept yours? No one is blaming you; keeping them can be very tough.
So to up the ante this year, I'm making TWO resolutions:
- Follow through with all future New Years resolutions.
- Get in better shape.
This first one is no easy resolution. I usually can't even live up to one New Year's resolution, how could I possibly I live up to every single one in the future? Hmm. I think I'm going to need some help with this. So, to help me and everyone else in my shoes, I looked up some common tips to making sure our resolutions are accomplished (Thank you, About.com). Thank you Here's what I've learned:
1. Pick one thing and make it practical – Don't bother trying to change your whole lifestyle at once. It's much more important to pick one aspect of your life that you'd like to change, and make that small change. Looks like I already failed this one by picking two goals…
2. What does success look like? – This is something you need to decide before you start your resolution. How will you know when you've changed your ways? Is there an end date or is it an ongoing goal? You need to be specific with what your life will be like with this new resolution. For my goal of getting in better shape, this means getting some physical activity in every day.
3. Anticipate problems – What will get in the way of your not completing your goal? Obstacles? Laziness? Forgetfulness? If you identify things that will interfere with your goal, you'll be able to prepare for those situations. For me, laziness and sleepiness get in the way of me doing physical activity. Since I'm able to identify the problems, (hopefully) I'll be able to not let them interfere with my goal.
4. Accept occasional failure – Hey, we're all human, mistakes happen. Don't let one mishap get in the way of your goal. Don't beat yourself over slipping from your resolution once, just identify what made you slip, how to correct it, and get back on track the next day. I will allow myself to skip working out some mornings. OCCASIONALLY. Hopefully these breaks are few and far between.
5. Plan rewards – Changing your life around is no small feat. Even just eliminating one bad habit deserves rewarding. Plan in rewards into your resolution to keep you motivated. This may mean after 30 days of resolution, you can buy that thing you've wanted for so long. Living up to any New Year's resolution is very impressive, and you deserve a reward. I haven't come up with my reward yet and I'm thinking I should wait until I deserve a reward (its only been three days with this goal!).
6. Stay motivated – This is probably the hardest part of keeping your New Year's resolution. Things get in the way, other things take priority, and before you know it, you're not doing what you planned. This is no excuse! Make sure that you stay motivated. Write out your resolution on a piece of paper and put it in a place you go every day. On the bathroom mirror, on your door, by your bed, anywhere works, just as long as you will see it every day. I changed my alarm clock to tell me to work out, rather than to wake up. Hopefully this reminder will keep me motivated. If that physical reminder to stick to your goals is not enough, make sure you find something that will keep you motivated!
Don't be like Calvin in the above cartoon. Everyone has the ability to improve themselves, and now is the perfect time to start. One step at a time, following the instructions above, you'll be able to stick to your New Year's resolution throughout the year, not just throughout January.
Tell us about your resolutions and keep us posted on your progress throughout 2012!

Hi - I'm a new knitter and am doing a blocked baby blanket. I thought I could count, but apparently not. Some blocks have 26 (52 rows) and some have 27 (54 rows). When I bind them together will this be a problem? I look up how to bind and it looks like I should have the same number of rows.... they take 2 hours or more to knit so I don't want to do a bunch over. Thanks!
You should be able to finesse the seaming to skip a stitch or two on the longer ones without a problem.

Kristen Bell Signs On for New Project with Ex-Fiancé
She's happily married to Dax Shepard and they have an adorable daughter named Lincoln, so Kristen Bell doesn't feel weird about working with her ex-fiancé Kevin Mann in the least.
The "Veronica Mars" actress has developed three short films co-directed by Mann for the new Lipton Tea Win An Extra Sunday promotion, of which she is the creative director.
In a new interview, Bell explained she still admires Kevin despite the fact that their relationship didn't work out. "When you're with someone for that long it's because you love their personality."
Meanwhile, Lipton's Win An Extra Sunday contest revolves around two delivery men coming to winners' houses and doing their chores. If she won, Kristen knows what she'd want- "I would like someone to cook for me and clean up after me. I don't have a massive garage waiting to be organized, but I tend to leave quite a tornado in whatever room I've left. I would like someone to tidy after me."

Elk Hunting
Posted on October 6, 2011
There's nothing easy about bowhunting elk on public ground, but it can be done effectively—if you put in the necessary time and hard work and employ the right strategy
By Dan Staton
A quiver full of unspoiled broadheads, a fine-tuned bow rig, some tread left on my boots and thousands of public ground acres to hunt. No cell phone service, no wireless Internet connection and an alarm clock that I don't mind hearing in the morning.
This is what September is all about. This is the one month of the year when my life is free of distraction and disquiet. There is only one sound on the mountain uniquely designed by God to transform an old man into a young man, turn tired feet into hooves like a deer, and rejuvenate achy joints into leopard speed. This phenomenon is something I've felt firsthand each fall. Just when you think the elk rut is shut down for the day and you cozy up next to a spruce tree for a midday siesta, a bull's bugle rings out and ignites Supermanlike strength into a once-dejected bowhunter. Sound familiar?
To me, public-ground elk hunting is my ultimate quarry, and there are a few reasons for this. The lure of these forest-dwellers for me is the fact that they're hunted hard each and every year. Public bulls outwit wolves, bears, harsh winters and man. Bowhunters, muzzleloaders and rifle hunters all take a crack at them.
To harvest one means some serious considerations—and some timely luck, as well. Nothing can touch the feeling of tagging a public-ground bull on your own.
Here is some fresh intelligence, along with some practical steps, regarding how to tackle a chore as big as this one.
Step #1: Find Remote Hunting Spots
Public ground is accessible to everyone via miles and miles of dirt road, four-wheeler trails, single-tracks and horse trails. To have a chance, one must find tucked-away spots that are tangled, with deep canyons and lots of cover. The harder to get to, the better!
Some roads have locked gates and allow walk-in access only; this is where your scouting should start. You have to become intimately familiar with the country and, if the only time to do so is in season, your uphill battle just gained more vertical.
I start scouting as soon as the high-country snow begins to dissipate. My main transportation is my dirt bike, and my main tool the chainsaw. Each spring I start sawing down the year's downfall and blaze my way into new country, off the designated single-track. Once I've found a promising area, it's time to investigate for clues. I search for clusters of last year's rubs, elk highways, south-facing feed, north-facing cover and, of course, water.
Elk will rut in the same general areas each year if they're not disturbed by wolves or other hunters. This is what I'm scouting for. You need to know how to access each spot, learn the prevailing winds, note the timing of thermals and calculate how long it takes to get to the spot. Remember, you'll be riding and or hiking in the dark to get there, so you need to know the lay of the land very well.
Before leaving town to scout, you should bring printed Google Earth (in 3D) maps to confirm all your potential hot spots and hunches. This will help your journey as you keep written notes on each spot. The goal is to have at least 10 of these "hot spots†ready to go by fall. If allowed in your area, leave a trail camera (use lithium batteries) up for the entire summer, so you can do inventory upon your return.
Now, let's go more in depth on what we know about these public-ground animals and which states to pay more attention to.
Step #2: Know Your Quarry and Hunting Areas
Public-land bulls are extremely intelligent. You're not going to kill one unless it makes a mistake. There was a time when these animals used to verify uncertainties with intent gazes, but with years of constant hunting pressure, they now evacuate into a different zip code with the slightest provocation.
You cannot hunt them with outdated and counterproductive tactics, like what you often see on television. After all, how many shows capture elk hunting away from a private ranch? A few do, but most hunts take place with an outfitter or on private ground—so don't let these shows warp your mind as to how to hunt public elk.
Each state out West offers different terrain and obstacles, so make sure you take all of that into account. A savvy hunter will do his homework on each state's public-ground opportunities. Arizona, Utah and New Mexico have continued to emerge as trophy hot spots—given your luck in the draws.
The largest antlers are usually found in arid pinion and dry juniper environments and even near the boundaries of the high desert. A Nevada elk tag virtually assures a trophy bull opportunity, but you'll be working ground comprising cedar scrub and grimy foothills. On the other hand, states such as Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho still boast some solid high-country opportunities.
Montana has been producing recordbook bulls for years, but these book entries come from areas east of the Rockies that comprise sloping lowland and river breaks, and a lot of it is private land. The point is that no matter where you bowhunt elk, be willing to hunt where big bulls live—even if that means getting as far off the beaten path as possible.
Find the most inaccessible, downright nasty places to get to where public-ground bulls receive less education from hunters … find the dark canyon or hellish ravine that keeps most hunters at bay. These areas will surely tip the odds in your favor of scoring on a big bull.

Copy My Blogging System To Sell Your Online Course. Follow My Step-By-Step Blueprint, Updated For 2017
I meant to have this out to you on Wednesday last week after I recorded it, since the prior evening I attended a Third Tuesday meet-up in Toronto, which was the inspiration for the podcast. However, you see, I bought a new macbook pro.
Don't get me wrong, I love my new mac, but this is my first mac and since I recorded the podcast on the mac there was a BIG learning curve to figure out how to get it ready for publication on this blog. As you will hear, it's not quite right, but the message is definitely clear enough to enjoy. Apologies for the change in volume and odd shuffling noises.
This Third Tuesday meet-up was a good one, the topic being – How do we measure social media? – with three expert panelists (Katie Paine, Marshall Sponder and Marcel Lebrun) taking questions from the audience made up of mostly PR and communications professionals, and related consultants and small business owners.
The idea of measuring the impact of social media is akin to measuring the effect of branding. Social media, much like branding, is often difficult to directly correlate with a business outcome, despite it obviously having a big impact on business results. I won't go into here since I do so in some depth in the podcast, so have a listen!
If you are a blogger, a business owner or a person interested in the business side of social media, you will enjoy this rambling podcast.
Thanks to Joseph Thornley and his crew for putting on a great meet-up.

Check out Ubercast mate – it's brilliant
Hey Ed
Where can I find Ubercast?
I did a quick search but am not sure if I found the right one…
Cheers from Australia!
Gideon Shalwick
Not a bad effort for your first time Yaro!
Welcome to the Mac Club!
Gideon Shalwick
PS: Did you end up using Garageband?
No actually Gideon – I ended up downloading audacity for mac and recorded with that.
I do intend to learn garage band and I'd like to check out this ubercast tool (Ed – I can't find it either), but there was no time for a learning curve when I did this podcast.
Hi Yaro…thanks for the podcast. We're just about to launch Shoutlet…an all in one tool that enables users to create, distribute and track social media campaigns. The tool doesn't aggregate all the info you wished for in your podcast but it covers the main areas of interest in terms of where content is published, how its viewed, shared, bookmarked, etc.
Let me know if you want to line up a demo. Shoutlet comes from a Wisconsin based company and we're launching in APAC very soon.
Hope that's helpful. Keep up the good work!
How's the new mac Yaro? What model of mac are you using?
Got a macbook pro 15in for my travels, though I must say the learning curve is tough.
I love it for video, but I miss some of my old programs that I can't get on mac for text editing (keynote tabbed text editor for one and NoteTab text editor which I use to play with HTML files).
Hi Yaro,
I had no idea you were present at the meeting last Tuesday night! I wish you had come up and said hello to me – I've been reading your blog, on and off, for a few years and I would have really wanted to talk to you.
OK, I don't get to Toronto much, and this trip last week was the first time I went there for several years (was a good trip, btw) and the Social Media RoundTable was great as was Third Tuesday.
If you drop by NYC contact me, maybe we can meet.
BTW, I will share the link to your podcast with my readers but I wonder if we can get an embeddable version that will stream – I'd like to put the podcast on my blogs.
Thanks again – and I want to say again, thank you for making a podcast of this event as I was just asking about it last night!
Hi Marshall – thanks for dropping by. Sorry I didn't say hello, I was quite hungry so I stormed downstairs to order food.
I'll probably be in NYC later in the year so maybe we can meet up then.
The podcast is great, despite the quality 😉
I'm really new to podcasting – this might be a rhetorical question, but should every blogger place one in his/her blog? I mean, not all blog topics and types should implement podcasting, I suppose?
Thanks for that great podcast! It's really interesting topic for me as a blogger:)
Loved the Podcast. Must learn how to do this better myself! Thanks for all the great tips. I'm learning how to do this well!
Hello! First of all great content here!
I recently changed from PC to Mac myself and I had the same problem. I was using Garage Band and I thought I was recording through my cool mic and realized I was recording via the internal mic.
Yes funny but trust me once you get it, you will LOVE the Mac. I just got the new iPhone today too so I am all Apple and loving it!
Anyway, the reason that I am posting is to thank you. I really enjoyed the audio. I am a new blogger and I am excited and hoping to build a nice community this way. I love helping people!
I am going to subscribe to your blog as I have already seen that you put it good content so thanks for the inspiration!!
Have a great weekend and I will be back!
Companies Use Social Media And What It Means For Bloggers topic have a good info . I am very happy to read this nice article.

While I strongly disagree with that hotel's policy - When checking in or making reservations I NEVER ask if they have a problem with my being armed so it's never been and never will be an issue with me.
For God, Family and Country!
What! it reads: You may request in the future that the hotel store your unloaded firearm in a Safe Deposit Box during your stay.
What! they expect me to hand over my weapon to a unkown stranger!
Is the mattress on their bed any better than the one at Motel 6?

Of course I didn't point out this deficiency to the manager. The last thing I want to do is make the sign legally compliant.
Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1
Si vis pacem, para bellum
The funny thing is that question also does not tip my hand. For all the know Im some anti-gun idiot that would never dream of staying in a Hotel without the protection of the sign disallowing concealed carry.
Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Hmm. That is strange considering the IDPA National Championship match hotel was a Hilton last year and is again this year. I wonder how many guns were going in and out of that place over the 4-5 day period?
Bend the knees, smooth is fast, watch the front sight.
Interesting.It is our policy that we do not allow anyone (including off duty law enforcement officers) to possess firearms in any of our hotels.
In many states off duty LEO's that are carrying have specific exemptions which allow them to carry anywhere.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
I stayed at a Hilton property while at a 2 day CRG Class in Tenn. I carried my range bag, which is well identified as a GUN Bag in and out each day with my guns in it and CCW on myself. Not a word was said. I am a Silver member and used points for the Free stay. There was also no sign posted. I have looked out for those signs in the last 2 years and have not seen the first one and I am out and around alot.
If only LIFE could be a little more tender and ART a little more robust. Alan Rickman

Blue Thunder, I smell Victory in the Morning!
CCW permit holder for Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, Maine and New Hampshire. I can carry in your country but not my own.
I guess this isn't a place to OC. I'm sure not going to leave it in the truck where it can be stolen. If you were to shoot someone trying to harm or rob you whats the worse The hotel can do to you? Around here most of the robberies happen the parking lots or people who leave their doors open at motels
I'd say that's the truth of the matter right there from my personal expierence of staying almost exclusively in Hiltons (and it's brands)somewhere on average of 140 nights a year.HoustonRaven
Just got a phone call from their Honors department ...
Caller told me they follow state law in regards to CC. I brought up an earlier post about San Antonio and he said that must have been an error and that he'd follow up with the general manager.
I think you need to go past the normal email guy or first level customer service rep.
My heroes are Veterans and My Father (who was a veteran).
I believe prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance should have REMAINED in schools, and the Ten Commandments should have REMAINED in schools, courthouses, and everywhere else it was before the ACLU got involved.
I recently stayed in Addison Texas and the Hampton Inn had 30.06 signs posted on the front doors only. General manager told me Loss Prevention for Hilton directed them to place the sign. I have with no luck been able to get Hilton to call me back regarding the signs. Guess Motel 6 gets my business going forward.
After what happened in Mumbai India on 11/26/2008, I strongly disagree with hotels banning legally owned firearms.

Many genealogical publications remain tucked away in libraries and private collections. There are so many publications that contain genealogical information, that it may be decades before it is all accessible online. The "live" part of the Live Roots concept is to allow your research to continue even when the publication isn't available online. There's nothing more frustrating than finding a resource that could hold the missing link in your tree, and then discovering that there are no places online to access it.
Live Roots tackles this issue by including titles in the catalog that researchers have at their disposal, and allowing you to pay for some of their time to obtain the information relevant to your surname(s). In a few quick steps, you'll be given an estimate for the work (based on the type of resource and its physical location), and create a work ticket to have the researcher obtain a digital copy (scan or hi-res photo) of the pages referencing a specific name (or surname). As soon as you complete payment for the ticket, the researcher will be given your assignment.
Here's how it works:
The amount of information available for an individual will vary from resource to resource. The service fee is based on the amount of work involved in obtaining the information, not the amount of information found.
When you order from a non-indexed resource, you are required to pay the service fee regardless of whether or not the name you requested appears in the resource. The service fee covers the researcher's time and effort, not the results. Refunds are not given when the name you requested is not found.
If you place work orders for multiple names from the same resource (or from different resources at the same location), then you may be entitled to a partial credit. This credit will be issued only if the researcher is able to perform the work on the same visit.
Lastly, this service is intended to locate information about specific individuals in specific resources. You may NOT place an order for an entire surname. If you wish to have general research performed, please contact a professional genealogist.
Included in this service will be the Live Roots Library Collection, available online for the first time.

Rural service centre at the foot of Mount Ida.
Heathcote, at the foot of Mt Ida, is situated amidst attractive bushland beside McIvor Creek, 109 km north of Melbourne via the Northern Highway, 47 km south-east of Bendigo and 220 m above sea-level. Its population is about 1800. The principal products of the district are wool, timber, cattle, honey and wine.
Heathcote is clustered around High St (the Northern Highway) which presents an interesting and diverse streetscape of old shopfronts, hotels, churches, some distinguished homes and the post office. The trees which line the main street and the plantation at Queens Meadow were planted in the 19th century on the advice of Baron von Mueller who made a significant contribution to Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens.
A number of prehistoric quarry sites have been found at Mt Camel Range, to the north of Heathcote, providing evidence of ancient Aboriginal associations with the land. It is thought that the Wuywurrung Aborigines inhabited the district prior to white settlement.
The first Europeans in the area were the exploratory party of Major Mitchell who passed through in 1836. Mitchell named McIvor Creek after a member of his party and this title was later applied to the shire.
Pastoralists soon moved into the area and a track (with a couple of roadside inns) developed through what would later become the townsite, along which produce was carted to and from the northern sheep stations.
However, the town itself developed on the back of a series of goldrushes along McIvor Creek which commenced in 1851. One of the major strikes (1852) was at Golden Gully (behind Heathcote's old courthouse). By 1855 the alluvial gold was running out and reef mining had commenced. Consequently, the population dropped to about 6000 by 1860 as ex-miners took up land or began timbergetting in the forests - an industry much aided by the arrival off the railway later in the century.
The town was apparently named by Lord Heathcote; not in honour of himself but because of the quantities of heath growing in the district - if that is plausible.
At the peak of the goldrushes there were allegedly 35 000 people, largely housed in tents and shanties on the fields. 3000 Chinese walked to the diggings from Robe in South Australia where they had disembarked to avoid paying a tax levied upon Chinese disembarking at Victoria. There were also three breweries, 22 hotels, two flour mills, reflecting the emergence of wheat-cultivation in the district, a bacon factory, a hospital and several wineries.
Although the population remained steady until the 1880s it was down to 1090 by 1891 as gold reserves dwindled. Other local mining communities were Balmoral (later known as 'Redcastle') which once had 17 000 people but ceased to exist when mining ended around 1910. Costerfield, 12 km north-east, once employed 700 men but closed down in 1925. At one time it produced 92 per cent of the state's antimony. Greytown, 30 km north-east, allegedly had 60 000 on its fields but was short-lived.
In 1910 the Duigan brothers made Australian aviation history when they built and flew the first Australian-made aircraft at Mia Mia, 18 km south-west of town. However, the achievement must be kept in perspective. The contraption lifted off the ground for a total of seven metres.
The Heathcote Bush Market is held on the first Saturday of the month in the centre of town. There is a Bush Carnival at Heathcote Showgrounds (at the corner of Cauldwell and Chauncey Sts) in September with fun activities, a bush market, pony and horse rides, live country music and family games. The Golden Grape Festival occurs in October and the agricultural show in November.
Things to see:
Tourist Information
The town's information centre is located at the corner of High and Barrack Sts. It is open from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. daily, tel: (03) 5433 3121.
McIvor Range Reserve
From the information centre you can walk along Barrack St past Lions Park and the swimming pool, over McIvor Creek (a good fishing spot). Take the signposted right turn past Queens Meadow (where you will find a caravan park in a forest setting) and the Valley of the Liquidambers to the reserve.
Powder Magazine
Within Range Reserve is the old powder magazine which was built in 1864 to store gunpowder used in gold mining and quarrying. The fine stonework is a notable feature and it is considered a rare example of its type.
Viewing Rock
A track leads past the powder magazine to Viewing Rock, a rocky outcrop which offers expansive views of the town and area. A more direct but arduous route is past the Scout Hall.
Devil's Cave
Another track in the reserve leads to Devil's Cave, occupied by prospectors as far back as 1864. It leads up a gentle incline through a forest. The route is signposted from the Valley of the Liquidambers. There are some good views of the town en route and wildflowers in season.
Camp Hill Gaol
The town's original gaol was built in 1853 but a breakout in 1859 led the commissioner of police to order a new structure and Camp Hill Gaol (1861) was the result. It is located opposite the corner of Barrack and Hospital Sts.
Heathcote Hospital
Adjacent is the hospital. The original section was built of sandstone in 1859.
Pink Cliffs
Pink Cliffs Rd runs off Hospital St. It leads past deep canyons and gorges which were created by sluice mining in the gold days. The colours of the cliffs range from bright pink to yellow and golden ochre. There are a number of paths through the reserve and a picnic area.
Mount Ida Lookout
At the northern edge of town the Northern Highway branches off to the right, heading north to Elmore. Along here is a signpost directing you along a good gravel road to the Mt Ida Lookout (450 m) which offers excellent views of the district.
Lake Eppalock
Where the Northern Highway branches off, the main road continues north-west to Bendigo as the McIvor Highway which leads right by the eastern shore of Lake Eppalock, the state's fourth-largest reservoir with a dam wall measuring 700 m long and 50 m high. Eppalock was built for irrigation and flood-control purposes and has been developed as a recreation area. The Moorabbee Foreshore Rd offers fine views of the Derrinal Pool which is popular with anglers, swimmers, yachting enthusiasts and power-boaters. There is a boat ramp as well as toilets and dressing sheds.
Yabby Farm
The Central Victorian Yabby Farm is located 3 km south of Heathcote on the Northern Highway. You can investigate how they are farmed or buy some, tel: (03) 5433 2332.
Duigan Memorial
On the Mia Mia-Lancefield Rd, west of town, is a memorial which commemorates the occasion in 1910 when the Duigan brothers built and flew the first Australian-made aircraft.
Heathcote Winery
Heathcote Winery, established in 1978, is located at the northern end of town (185 High St).

What might cause painful ejaculation?
Painful ejaculation, or painful orgasm, can have a number of causes:
• Inflammation of the testicles, prostate, or urethra (the tube that semen passes through)
• Sexually-transmitted infections
• Nerve damage in the penis
• Chronic pain in the pelvis
• Blockages in the ejaculatory system
• Pelvic radiation
• Prostate cancer
• Psychological issues
If nerve damage is the cause, the situation usually improves over the next two years, as the nerve heals.
Men who have had any kind of lower pelvic surgery, such as a prostatectomy, may experience painful orgasms, too. A prostatectomy is the removal of the prostate gland and is a common treatment for prostate cancer.
Some antidepressants, spermicides, and contraceptive creams have also been linked to painful ejaculation.
Sometimes, the cause of painful ejaculation is unknown.
Next question: What is painful ejaculation?

How The Next Highline Could Reinvigorate Queens [Pics]
The winners for the QueensWay redevelopment competition have been announced.
The High Line's eco-friendly transformation has made it one of the most popular public spaces in Manhattan, and now a similar project happening in Queens is quickly taking shape. The QueensWay redevelopment proposal, conceived by Trust for Public Land, will give new meaning to the city's abandoned infrastructure, turning the 3.5 mile stretch of rusty train track into a linear park for walkers and cyclists, in addition to the small community of restaurants and art performances.
Many see QueensWay as a spinoff of Manhattan's High Line, but The Emerging New York Architects committee wants this project to be something totally different. The committee has recently announced the winners of its 2014 biennial design ideas competition, QueensWay Connection: Elevating the Public Realm, with results being anything but ordinary.
Of the 120 submissions, the committee gave first place to "The Queensway Steps," an elevated greenspace proposed by Carrie Wibert of Paris, France. Other winning submissions range from a "billboard" that resembles a roller-coaster ramp to a community market place that's constructed under the railway.
Check out some of the proposed project images below:

Earlier this week, the National Arts Centre Orchestra announced details of its first-ever tour to China, billed as the most extensive ever done by a Canadian orchestra. The tour, led by NACO music director Pinchas Zukerman, will run from October 4-20, 2013, and-as has become the norm for this orchestra-will include educational events, formal concerts, and a significant use of technology to extend the reach and impact of the orchestra's presence.
Seventy musicians from the orchestra will perform 8 major concerts, 80 education and outreach activities, and five international broadband videoconference events linking young musicians in Canada and China. Tour venues include Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Fuling, Tianjin, Beijing, and Shanghai. Tour repertoire includes works by Canadians Alexina Louie and John Estacio, Bruch, Brahms, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky, and artistic and educational partners include the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, and China's National Centre for the Performing Arts (aka "The Egg", an iconic new structure in Beijing). The tour will coincide with the annual general meeting of the Canada China Business Council in Beijing with a major concert on October 17, 2013 at the National Centre for the Performing Arts hosted by Canadian Ambassador Guy Saint-Jacques.
The tour has not only its own website, Facebook page, and Twitter hashtag (#NACOChina2013), but also a presence on Sina Weibo, Facebook's Chinese equivalent.
From April 23 to May 3, the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal (led by music director Kent Nagano) undertake a 5-city, 4-country South American tour, with stops in major cities in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Colombia. The most recent visit by the OSM to Brazil and Argentina took place in 1998, while the concerts in Colombia and Uruguay will be the Orchestra's first in these countries. As we have come to expect, the orchestra's adventures on the road will be chronicled in a tour blog. Soloists are pianist Serihy Salov and violinist (and OSM concertmaster) Andrew Wan, and tour repertoire includes works by Wagner, Liszt, Brahms, Berlioz, Ravel, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Stravinsky.

These can be found right next to the legal fire pits of Ocean Beach. I guess people feel there aren't enough.
And here's the news about the Ocean Beach Fire Program
These can be found right next to the legal fire pits of Ocean Beach. I guess people feel there aren't enough.
And here's the news about the Ocean Beach Fire Program
This is quite a change from just nine years ago…
This attack from a few months back…
…came from this tree, which still shows where it broke apart:
Beware beware…
"There has been speculation among officials that the boat capsized due to a large, rogue wave, although the matter is still under investigation."
Non, non, non!
"Rogue waves (also known as freak waves, monster waves, episodic waves, killer waves, extreme waves, and abnormal waves) are large and spontaneous surface waves that occur far out in open water, and can be extremely dangerous, even to large ships such as ocean liners."
Ocean Beach aint in open water, right?
So SFGov spokesmodels should pick a different adjective.
How about sneaker wave? You know, the kind that sneak up on the unwary. Or sleeper wave, for the sleepyheaded mariner. Or set wave, if you're a surfer.
Speaking of which, take a look:
I suppose, if you don't know what you're doing, then you could try to pass the buck by calling this a rogue wave (or an Act of God). But that would just go to show that you didn't know what you're doing.
Oh here we go, CNN does my job for me here.
How common was the wave what overturned our rescue boat? Was it a once in a day wave, or a once every ten years wave? IDK. But it certainly wasn't a rogue wave.
If only we had a highly trained branch of the US military stationed nearby, standing by to help people in the water…
Semper Paratus, Gentle Reader
Here you go:
"How mountain biking's mega-success started on Mount Tamalpais"
Right here:
"When Joe Breeze did what thousands of Mill Valley kids had done before him — stood on Miller Avenue across the street from the 2 a.m. Club and stuck out his thumb to hitch a ride — he didn't know he was changing history."
Let's chalk some of this up to a kind of CW Nevius-style local rah-rahing.
Now let's compare that with a less patriotic, a less Bay Area-centric source like Wiki.*
What's that, it was only the "mega-success" of MTB what got started on Mt. Tam?
Al right, but that means Cascade Canyon Road is on "a western ridge of Mt Tam …"
"They all came together to race Repack, a steep downhill drop on a western ridge of Mount Tam, plummeting 1,300 feet in 2.1 miles."
…as opposed to it being on nearby Pine Mountain, right?
So on this map (which isn't exactly pointing north, oh well) the peaks of Mt Tam are on the lower right, and Pine Mountain is on the left across a chain of lakes, and Cascade Canyon Fire Road (aka "Repack" – you can't expect Marin Co guv'mint/The Feds to honor that bike-centric name) is in the upper left.
Here's another map, with Mt Tam way off your screen, down and to the right – knock yourself out.
Anyway at least now, a Chron writer is showing his/her work. So, if you think Pine Mountain / the San Geronimo Ridge / Cascade Canyon Road/Repack is a part of Mt. Tam, then, maybe mountain biking gestated, a little, on Mount Tam, sort of.
But if not, then not.
I'll tell you, IRL, Repack is way far away from the West, Middle, and East peaks of Mt Tam, so that's why I'm saying mountain biking was NOT born on Mt Tam.
Just released, see below.
I don't know. The NTSB weighed in and the SFFD certainly DID NOT get an A+ grade, to say the least:
"The overall triage process in this mass casualty incident was effective with the exception of the failure of responders to verify their visual assessments of the condition of passenger 41E.
The San Francisco Fire Department's aircraft rescue and firefighting staffing level was instrumental in the department's ability to conduct a successful interior fire attack and successfully rescue five passengers who were unable to self-evacuate amid rapidly deteriorating cabin conditions.
Although no additional injuries or loss of life were attributed to the fire attack supervisor's lack of aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) knowledge and training, the decisions and assumptions he made demonstrate the potential strategic and tactical challenges associated with having non-ARFF trained personnel in positions of command at an airplane accident.
Although some of the communications difficulties encountered during the emergency response, including the lack of radio interoperability, have been remedied, others, such as the breakdown in communications between the airport and city dispatch centers, should be addressed.
The Alert 3 section of the San Francisco International Airport's emergency procedures manual was not sufficiently robust to anticipate and prevent the problems that occurred in the accident response."
Here's some more on Flight 214 from San Francisco Magazine. Some quotes in there from SFFD personnel appeared to show a bit of self deception, IMO.
And there's this, from the San Jose Mercury News:
San Francisco's emergency personnel also were criticized. While praising firefighters for rescuing several passengers from the burning wreckage and having more than the required number of personnel on hand, the report said "the arriving incident commander placed an officer in charge of the fire attack" who hadn't been properly trained. The responders also had communication problems, including being unable "to speak directly with units from the airport on a common radio frequency" and didn't rush medical buses to the scene, which "delayed the arrival of backboards to treat seriously injured passengers." In addition, the report said airport emergency officials in general lack policies "for ensuring the safety of passengers and crew at risk of being struck or rolled over by a vehicle" during rescue operations. During the chaotic initial response to the Asiana crash, two firetrucks ran over one of the teenage passengers lying outside the plane. The San Mateo County coroner ruled the girl was alive when she was hit, but the San Francisco Fire Department disputes that finding.
Obviously, this was an aircraft accident that involved pilot error, as most do. Equally obviously, some of the problems on that day showed that the SFFD wasn't training properly, realistically.
All right, here's the release:
"Asiana suit dismissal vindicates firefighters' 'heroic efforts' in tragic crash, Herrera says. City Attorney adds, 'Our hearts go out to the parents of Ye Ming Yuan and to all the surviving loved ones of the three who lost their lives' in 2013's Asiana tragedy
SAN FRANCISCO (Aug. 7, 2015) — Parents of the 16-year-old passenger who was ejected and killed in the crash of Asiana Flight 214 on July 6, 2013 dismissed their civil lawsuit against the City and County of San Francisco today. Neither the plaintiffs nor their attorneys appear to have issued a public statement accompanying their dismissal, which was filed in U.S. District Court this afternoon.
City Attorney Dennis Herrera issued the following statement in response:
"Our hearts go out to the parents of Ye Ming Yuan and to all the surviving loved ones of the three who lost their lives in the tragic crash of Asiana Flight 214. We're grateful for a dismissal that will spare everyone involved the added heartache and costs of litigation, which we believed from the beginning to be without legal merit.
"As we remember those who lost their lives in the Asiana crash, I hope we acknowledge, too, the heroic efforts of San Francisco's firefighters and police who saved hundreds of lives that day. With thousands of gallons of venting jet fuel threatening unimaginable calamity, our firefighters initiated a daring interior search-and-rescue that within minutes extricated trapped passengers, and moved them safely to medical triage. In the face of great danger to their own lives, our emergency responders showed heroism and selflessness that day. They deserve our honor and gratitude."
The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the crash of Asiana flight 214 was caused by the Asiana flight crew's mismanagement in approaching and inadequately monitoring the airspeed of the Boeing 777 on its approach to San Francisco International Airport, according to the NTSB's June 24, 2014 announcement. The NTSB also found that the flight crew's misunderstanding of the autothrottle and autopilot flight director systems contributed to the tragedy.
On July 3, 2014, NTSB Member Mark R. Rosekind issued a concurrent statement that praised San Francisco's first responders: "The critical role of the emergency response personnel at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and the firefighters from the San Francisco Fire Department cannot be underestimated. Although certain issues regarding communications, triage, and training became evident from the investigation and must be addressed, emergency responders were faced with the extremely rare situation of having to enter a burning airplane to perform rescue operations. Their quick and professional action in concert with a diligent flight crew evacuated the remaining passengers and prevented this catastrophe from becoming much worse. In addition, the emergency response infrastructure and resources at SFO that supported firefighting and recovery after the crash are admirable, significantly exceeding minimum requirements."
Asiana Flight 214 struck the seawall short of SFO's Runway 28L shortly before 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 6, 2013, beginning a violent impact sequence that sheared off the tail assembly, rotated the aircraft approximately 330 degrees, and created a heavy cloud of dust and debris before the aircraft finally came to rest approximately 2300 feet from its initial site of impact. The sheared-off tail assembly and force of rotation resulted in the ejection of five people: two crewmembers still strapped into the rear jump seats, and three passengers seated in the last two passenger rows. All three ejected passengers suffered fatal injuries: two died at the scene, and one died six days later.
With nearly 3,000 gallons of jet fuel venting from fuel lines where two engines detached during the crash sequence, a fire started in one engines that was wedged against the fuselage. A fire also began in the insulation lining the fuselage interior, beginning near the front of the aircraft. The interior fire produced heavy smoke inside the aircraft and posed extremely dangerous conditions given the volatility of leaking jet fuel and its proximity to potentially explosive oxygen tanks. In the face of imminent explosion, the rescue effort safely evacuated and triaged of some 300 people. Asiana flight 214 carried 307 individuals: 4 flight crew, 12 cabin crewmembers and 291 passengers. Three of the 291 passengers were fatally injured.
