Cruise tourism supports South Pacific cultureThursday, September 03, 2015
P&O Cruises has joined with the South Pacific community on the island of Lifou to celebrate 20 years of cruising to the picturesque Loyalty Islands.
Visiting P&O Cruises' Pacific Jewel Captain Roger Bilson and his senior officers were guests at a special ceremony and community celebration that reflected on cruising's contribution to the island's economy and to the development of cultural tourism.
Throughout the period, the P&O Cruise team has worked with the Lifou tribal leaders and council to ensure the delicate balance between development and culture was retained.
P&O Cruises' visits to Lifou began in July 1995 when its flagship, Fairstar, made the first of five calls that year. By 2000, Lifou was receiving 27 annual cruise ship calls and by 2010 this number had increased to 62.
During 2015 more than 100 cruise ships will visit the island, and the Lifou community is keen to welcome more visitors.
Lifou Grand Chief, Pascal Sihaze, said the island's customary members have long recognised cruise ship visits as making a positive, sustainable contribution to the local economy and to the island's cultural heritage.
They identified the concept as 'cultural tourism' based on human contact and cultural exchanges in which the local community could share traditional knowledge, art and the Kanak culture with visitors. They also saw that sharing their traditions and culture would help the island's young people to retain features of their cultural heritage through dance, traditional fishing and art.

Carnival Australia Destinations Director, Michael Mihajlov, said the cruise line valued the bonds it had developed with the Wetr community over so many years.
"Lifou is a very special place, and we have worked closely with the community to ensure that cruise tourism to the island is sustainable as the number of visitors continues to grow," Mr Mihajlov said.
"We see that the partnership between P&O Cruises and the community of Lifou is working. It has helped young people to find jobs that can keep them on the island and provide a sustainable return without corrupting its centuries-old culture," he added.

Qantas lifts bar with new Perth loungeWednesday, August 26, 2015
With competition for business class customers heating up on the WA sectors, Qantas has opened the doors to its new business class lounge at Perth's domestic airport, which it says "sets a new benchmark in business travel".
The new design features distinct areas for dining, working and relaxing.
Those keen on relaxing will welcome the news that lounge space has been increased by 50 percent, with laid-back seating for more than 350 guests.
Designers, Woods Bagot, said the design and décor reflected regional influences based on the Western Australian landscape such as terracotta and metallic feature walls representing the mineral-rich soil.
The colour palette is drawn from Margaret River, Matilda Bay, Wave Rock and Broome.
Qantas Domestic CEO, Andrew David, said the new Perth domestic business lounge represents the future of the airline's business lounges across Australia.
"The lounge has been designed with our most frequent travellers from WA in mind. It accommodates the mix of corporate, leisure and fly-in fly-out workers with business facilities, a sports lounge to relax and socialise, and dining areas with single and communal seating," said Mr David.
Mr David said the new lounge was part of a broader strategy by the airline to deliver a better travel and airport experience for Qantas customers which includes improved gate access, faster security screening, quicker check in and more lounge facilities.
Customers travelling through the lounge will be the first to enjoy two new concepts – a state of the art Italian pizza bar with a pizza chef, and a wine bar where customers can sit and enjoy barista coffee and freshly made croissants in the morning, or a glass of wine and canapés in the evening.
The new lounge features menus designed by Neil Perry, a 'make your own' juice station in the morning, cocktail hour from 4-5pm on weekdays, with cocktails designed by the Rockpool Mixology team.
In addition to the traditional hot and cold buffet, customers can also enjoy a 'plate of the day' from the central island dining tables on weekdays, which includes dishes such as baked eggs with chorizo and feta in the morning and gourmet cheese plates in the evening.
Check out the new lounge experience here.

Air NZ farewells Boeing 767Friday, March 31, 2017
Air New Zealand has today flown its final scheduled service using its Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with flight NZ108 departing Sydney at 6:55pm local time, arriving at Auckland International Airport just before midnight New Zealand time.
The Boeing 767 aircraft has been a stalwart at Air New Zealand for more than 30 years but is being replaced by the ultra-modern and highly efficient Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners on long-haul routes.
The airline has flown the Boeing 767 for more than three decades having first introduced the aircraft in 1985, with both the airline's remaining two 767-300 aircraft being retired this week. During its time in service the 767 aircraft has flown the majority of the airline's long-haul routes.
The aircraft has been progressively replaced by the more fuel efficient Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner since July 2014 with a further two Dreamliners to be delivered later this year. The airline has a total of 13 Dreamliners on order, with deliveries running until late 2018.
Air New Zealand Chief Operations Integrity & Standards Officer, Captain David Morgan said the retirement of the 767 aircraft completes the airline's long term plan to move to a simplified fleet structure with the airline to operate a narrow-body fleet of Airbus A320s and a wide-body fleet of Boeing 777 and 787-9s.
"This strategy will allow us to be more efficient and have a consistent wide-body fleet which will deliver benefits to both the business and customers.
"The use of the larger Dreamliners will result in a capacity increase of around three percent on the trans-Tasman and Pacific Island routes. Customers also get to experience our Business Premier and Premium Economy cabins on the 787-9 aircraft."
The airline's two remaining Boeing 767s have been sold and will be converted to freighter aircraft.
Carnival Cruise confirms 2018 Down Under sailingsFriday, March 31, 2017
Carnival Cruise Lines is wrapping up its third Australian summer cruise season, with Carnival Legend set to depart Australia tomorrow.
The 88,500-tonne superliner is currently completing its five-night Tasmania cruise before setting sail from Sydney on a 19-night cruise to Hawaii, ahead of a season of Alaska voyages.
During the 2016-17 season, Carnival Legend carried more than 50,000 guests on a variety of itineraries ranging from 3-5 night short cruises in local waters to longer 7-12 night cruises around the South Pacific and New Zealand's South Island.
The 2680-guest ship is confirmed to return for her fourth extended Australian summer season on 10 October 2017.
The ship will again be homeported in Melbourne in November 2018, which will allow more cruising around Tasmania.
Carnival Legend in Hobart
In a record Victorian deployment for Carnival Cruise Line, Carnival Legend will sail on six roundtrip cruises from Melbourne during February and March 2018, including voyages to New Zealand, the South Pacific and Tasmania.
A 10-night New Zealand cruise from Melbourne will take in the sights of the South Island, as well as Wellington, with fares from $1629 for the 21 February 2018 departure.

Virgin X adds more legroomThursday, March 30, 2017
Virgin Australia has opened sales on its new Economy X seating for flights commencing from 21 May 2017.
The new cabin configuration will see the first three rows of the airline's Boeing 737 fleet enhanced with additional legroom as well as upgraded services including priority boarding, priority seating and preferred overhead locker space.
Group Executive Virgin Australia Airlines John Thomas said the launch of Economy X would provide an enhanced travelling experience both on the ground and in the air across the airline's network.
Economy X is an Australian-first product in the domestic market.
Virgin Australia's entire fleet of 75 Boeing 737 aircraft is scheduled to be reconfigured to provide extra legroom in the first three rows of the economy cabin, with work due to be finished by the end of May.
The reconfiguration of the airline's Boeing 737s will see almost 20 per cent of economy seats upgraded.
"We know that speed on the ground and space in the air are important to our guests. Economy X will empower passengers to tailor their travel experience and will give them more choice when they fly."
Mr Thomas said he was confident that Economy X would be well received, however the proof will be seen in passenger uptake of the more expensive seat category.
Corporate travellers on high volume routes are priority clients, along with priority-classed frequent flyers who will use their points to upgrade.
Economy X will be located in Rows 3 to 5 as well as the exit rows and will feature a minimum of three inches (7.62cm) of extra legroom, preferred overhead locker space, priority boarding and priority security screening.
New seating offers more legroom and premium benefits
Virgin Australia to fly free wifiThursday, March 30, 2017
Just days after Qantas postponed the launch of its inflight wifi service due to 'stability issues', Virgin Australia has jumped on the market announcing a partnership with leading inflight connectivity provider Gogo and satellite service provider, Optus.
The partnership will see Virgin provide customers with inflight wi-fi on its domestic and international services.
From April 2017, the airline will commence a three month customer testing period of Gogo's proven 2Ku technology on a single Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
Feedback from the trial will help shape the full installation of 2Ku across Virgin Australia's fleet of Boeing 737-800, Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 aircraft later this year.
The test period will provide all Virgin Australia guests travelling on the wi-fi-enabled aircraft to access free wi-fi during their flight as well as access streaming services Netflix, Stan and Pandora on their devices while in the air.
Passengers travelling on the wi-fi-enabled aircraft will also receive a three month free subscription to Pandora Plus and Netflix. Guests who are new to Stan will also receive three months' access for free.
John Thomas, Group Executive Virgin Australia Airlines, said the airline was confident in its choice of partners.
"We are confident that by working with Gogo and Optus Satellite and using their proven technology we can deliver the best possible and most reliable connectivity and entertainment experience in the air.
The service will allow passengers to stay connected while inflight while also enjoying a huge range of online entertainment.
Gogo currently provides inflight connectivity for a number of airlines including Aer Lingus, Aeromexico, Air Canada, Air France KLM, American Airlines, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, GOL, Iberia, Japan Transoceanic Air and Virgin Atlantic.
Virgin Australia and Gogo are currently working with regulators to obtain approval for its inflight wi-fi.
Hopes high for Commonwealth GamesWednesday, March 29, 2017
The Gold Coast's booming tourism economy is set to grow further with one year to go until the start of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, as Bob East, chief executive for Queensland-based accommodation giant, Mantra Group, predicts Queensland tourism will hit a record high after the Games.
Mr East said the region's reputation, built up during the event, will help to attract record numbers of tourists to the state.
"The Commonwealth Games will provide a terrific platform for promotion and profile, showcasing Queensland to would-be visitors from further afield," said Mr East.
"With just one year to go, the world spotlight is already on the state and what we have to offer.
"This is our time to shine, to showcase our state and its many attractions, and position Queensland as a key and highly desirable destination.
"The Games gives us an unprecedented opportunity to take tourism to the next level."
The State will need a boost in its tourism reputation as its tropical north coast rebuilds in the destructive wake of Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
Mr East said the benefits would be shared across the Gold Coast and neighbouring regions in South East Queensland and northern New South Wales.
"Tens of thousands of room nights will be required for the event and demand for accommodation at our twenty-three Gold Coast properties during the Games is at an all-time high," he said.
"Our Northern New South Wales, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast properties are already benefiting from the overflow."
With Gold Coast, Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville all hosting official events, Mr East said all four markets will enjoy renewed international and domestic interest in their leisure tourism offering before, during and after the Games.
"Extensive team business has caused the average length of stay at our properties to increase substantially in the lead up to and during the Games," he said.
"In 2018, we're predicting a strong uplift in occupancy year on year."
The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games will take place from 4 to 15 April 2018, and is expected to attract more than 100,000 visitors, athletes and officials to the state.
It will be the biggest event in Australia over the next decade, with up to 1.5 million spectators expected to attend, providing a ground-breaking estimated $2 billion economic boost to the state.
The event has already kick-started investment on the Gold Coast with a new light-rail system and the planned $200 million airport expansion.
Global leaders confirmed for Cruise360 conferenceMonday, March 27, 2017
Australasia's leading cruise industry event, Cruise 360 will showcase a new format and a speaker line-up featuring global industry leaders when it opens in Sydney later this year.
The event will see Group President Princess Cruises and Carnival Australia Jan Swartz and Azamara Club Cruises President and CEO Larry Pimentel both deliver keynote addresses at the August event.
The refreshed format will provide enhanced networking opportunities and professional development break-out sessions, as well as seminars and analysis into current cruise and travel industry trends.
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia Managing Director, Joel Katz, said the dynamic trade show would extend over two days to give conference attendees the chance to meet with cruise line representatives as well as other significant cruise-related suppliers.
Delegates will have the opportunity to take a tour and inspection of P&O Cruises' latest fleet addition, Pacific Explorer, on the second day.
Mr Katz said the organisation was excited to have secured Ms Swartz and Mr Pimentel as keynote speakers.
"It's an honour to have two of our industry's top leaders take the stage at this important CLIA event.
"Their addresses will be a highlight of Cruise360 so we're thrilled they've agreed to lend their knowledge to our travel agent members."
Cruise360 will take place on 25 August at the new Hyatt Regency in Sydney (formerly Four Points by Sheraton) followed by the ship inspection on 26 August.
Early bird tickets are available at www.cruising.org.au for $220. Online bookings can also be made for the Cruise360 ship inspection, with agents urged to act quickly given limited space.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — An elder from Montana's Crow Indian Tribe whose family ceremoniously adopted then-Sen. Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential race has died.
Hartford "Sonny" Black Eagle Jr. died Monday at his home in Lodge Grass on the tribe's reservation in the southeastern part of the state, said his son, Crow tribal Chairman Cedric Black Eagle.
The 78-year-old traditional healer died in his sleep after battling respiratory problems stemming from a severe case of pneumonia several months ago, Cedric Black Eagle said.
President Obama called Black Eagle's wife, Mary, on Wednesday to express his condolences, a White House official said.
Black Eagle and his family adopted Obama when the presidential candidate visited the reservation in the weeks leading up to Montana's Democratic primary.
As part of the adoption, Obama attended a purification ceremony where he faced east, the symbolic source of new life, and was prayed over by Black Eagle. He was given a Crow name that translates as "One Who Helps People Throughout the Land."
Cedric Black Eagle said his father considered the 2008 adoption ceremony one of the proudest moments in his life and subsequently considered it his duty to make sure Native American voices were heard.
"He felt like he was representing all of Indian Country as a spokesman, and always telling his (adopted) son, the president, that he has to make sure all of the people in Indian Country are heard and try to help them all," Cedric Black Eagle said.
Obama, who referred to himself as "Barack Black Eagle" during his 2008 visit to Crow Agency, pledged at the time to improve relations between American Indian tribes and the federal government if elected.
Black Eagle and his wife were later invited to Obama's presidential inauguration, and returned to Washington, D.C., in subsequent years for the annual White House Tribal Leaders Conference. Black Eagle and other family members also attended several Christmas dinners at the White House, his son said.
During destructive flooding on the reservation last year that left Lodge Grass largely isolated and forced many tribal members from their homes, Obama called Hartford and Mary Black Eagle to check on their safety, Cedric Black Eagle said.
The Crow Tribe released a statement Wednesday calling Hartford Black Eagle a "man of peace" who was well-known for his healing work and regarded the people of the world as belonging to one family.
He was born during the Great Depression and grew up outside Lodge Grass, where his family raised cows and horses on the same land where Black Eagle would make his home as an adult. He was also known by his Crow name, Alaxalusshixiassaah, meaning "thundering hoof," according to the tribe.
After his mother died of tuberculosis when he was a baby, Black Eagle was raised by his grandparents and later became a strong advocate for preserving the Crow's traditions and culture.
He taught the Crow language to his eight children, and instructed them and others in the community on performing traditional tribal dances, Cedric Black Eagle said.
To earn a living, he worked as a carpenter, an Indian Health Service representative and, most recently, as a political adviser to his son, who earlier this month lost a bid for re-election.
His death came less than two weeks after the loss of another member of the family, 55-year-old daughter Marilyn Black Eagle, who died Nov. 16 in a two-vehicle accident.
Funeral services for Hartford Black Eagle are scheduled for Thursday in Crow Agency followed by interment at Lodge Grass Cemetery.

Both are excellent cartridges for deer hunting,i've used both and seen both take a lot of deer.
My thoughts on why the 7mm-08 Rem is more popular than the 280 Rem. which has better ballistics.
Because of the popularity of the short action with less recoil in the silhouette shooting sport which then spilled into the hunting community searching for a efficient cartridge w/less recoil has made the 7mm-08 Remington much more popular than the 280 Remington for deer hunting.
My Dad has had a Rem 721 in a 280 Rem. since the late 50s early 60s? and its been a deer slayer,I love that old rifle!
Fourteen years ago it was time to set my son up for deer hunting,I chose the 7mm-08 Rem.
My decision and reasons for the 7mm-08 Rem for a nine year old
1) Less recoil,I also handload so the first practice batches and first year of hunting ammo were reduced loads which helped a lot for a young shooter.
2) The short action rifles are a bit smaller for younger and smaller hunters
3) I'm also a 7mm(.284) fan when it comes to deer/elk hunting cartridges.

I own 2 7mags, 2 280s, 1 757 and 1 708. Is one better then the other? depends if i want to shoot a deer at 500 yards id take the 7mag hands down. If i wanted to shoot something bigger then deer and felt i needed a 160 grain bullet the 7mag or the 280 would get the nod. IF i was going out deer hunting and knew for a fact the longest shot i possible could have would be under 300 yards id take the 708 or 757. Personaly I dont think theres enough recoil with any of them to make it an issue. Even a 7 mag kicks no more then an 06 and if you cant handle that you should be spending more time at the range and less time on here giving your expert internet opinion. back to the original question. the 280s more powerful. You can juggle numbers all you want to defend your baby but the 280 holds more powder and shoots the same weight bullet faster. that translates to more power. You can argue that its not much more then a 708 but then you can argue that the 7mag isnt that much more then the 280 too but if you went by that mentality you might as well use a 243 as its pretty close to a 708 or a 22250 because its pretty close to a 243.

For deer hunting, I'd have to say that they're equal. The vast majority of all deer are killed at distances inside of 200 yards. Ballistics don't kill; bullets do. Inside of 200 yards, which is basically a "gimme" shot, almost any centerfire is as good as any other.
You're from BATFE? Come right in! I use all your fine products!

yup Arts got a point. Under 200 yards about any centerfire rifle with get it done with good bullet placement. Personaly when i know my shots will be at those ranges youll usually find me with a 250 sav or 257 roberts. Either are plenty of gun for those ranges.

LOL at some of the answers on the 7mm08, 200yd gun, 300 or under. If you shoot the right loads in the right gun it'll do anything the .308 will to 500/600yds. At 200-300yds with my 7mm08 I still pick the hair I want to split.
Having shot deer with the .280, 7mmMag and 7mm08 I can tell you from experience not one of them has been less dead than another. And surprisingly the bigger wound channels and devastation has been with the 7mm08 unless you count one 80lb doe with a 7mmMag, 160grn Barnes X and 80yd straight on vertabrae shot, that was impressive. It also darn near ruined the deer.

Just bought a 7mm-08 myself. Going to shoot it for the first time this afternoon. I like the small size, short action and 7mm bullet. Also, it is sufficient for most north american game. Most 7mm-08 loads carry 1000 ft lbs of energy at 500 yards. I have read that most expert game hunters recommends a 1000 ft lbs for killing a white tail. So from that standpoint, the 7mm-08 can take deer at 500 yards. That is if the shooter can hit the pump station at that distance.
I reload. If I didn't reload, I wouldn't even consider the 7mm-08 or .280. They are $28 a box at the cheapest. As for the SD, the .270 is nearly identical to the .280. The only real advantage of the .280 is the variety of 7mm bullets available. If I was buying a single gun for hunting in North America, I would go with the .270. You can get 150gr that is sufficient for elk and you can buy 130 managed recoil to use on white tail for children and women to use. Also, most standard .270 loads are around $18 per box. From a ballistic standpoint, the .280 has very little advantage over the .270 if any and I am not sure I have ever seen .280 at Walmart around here and .270 is in nearly every store that sales ammo. The .270 is extremely popular and will be around a long time to come, don't see the .280 picking up popularity because a few people think the .284 is superior to the .277. Most shooters don't even know that. Most folks don't know a .280 is really a .284/7mm bullet. I am keeping my .270 as standby even if I use the 7mm-08 for my future white tail applications.
As for effectiveness on whitetails, I believe this is more based on bullet construction and placement than on the actual piece of brass it is dispensed from.

Its the old argument between 308 and 30-06. except in 7mm.
No such thing as a stupid question. What is stupid is not asking it.

For target at long range (up to 1000), the 7-08 is on par with the .260 / 6.5 CM...and it doesn't get much better than that out of a short action.

They make low recoil ammo for the 7mm-08, but it is NOT accurate. I can't get it to group at all. 10" groups at 100 yards if I'm lucky. (on a bench)

Seriously though, like any ammo might, it just doesn't like your gun, probably too slow twist. Lighter bullets might work.
I load ultra-low recoil 7-08. My 6 year old shoots it. It does fine. It'll shoot not much over an inch at 100, maybe 1 1/2.

I tried Remmington Managed Recoil, and Hornaday Lite.
Both will cycle the action of my semi auto. But neither will group.

I've always liked the .280 Rem and I've owned 2 of them over the years. The first was a Remington 700 Mountain rifle which was a great gun as long as you didn't want more than 3 shots out of it, they'd start walking off the paper after that which made for a long sight in process. Incidentally that rifle was stolen and never recovered. The second a custom built benchrest gun which I still own, built on a Mauser 98 action that gun is more accurate than I could ever hope to be. I love the cartridge but if I were looking for something I could buy off the shelf ammo for it would be a 7mm-08 as it's a lot easier to find around here. Since I reload this isn't an issue for me and I would love to have another Mountain Rifle in .280 Rem.
I think the things that contributed the most to the demise of the .280 Rem (not that I think it's obsolete, not by a long shot) was a) Remington's decision to change it's name to 7mm Express and then back to .280 Rem which created a lot of confusion and b) Remington's introduction of the 7mm Rem Mag.

280 Rem / 7400
I have a 280 Rem in a 7400 format and two 7x57 mausers, I shot a 7mm Rem Mag when I was thirteen and it knocked me off the bench
(I weighed 95# at the time) everybody got a kick out of that !! (forgive the pun),
I haven't shot a magnum rifle since. That was almost 40 years ago. My 280 will kill as far as I'll ever shoot, so will the 7mm mauser for that matter.
That 7400 is amazingly accurate (1" @ 100) and the trigger is not bad, 300-400 yards is enough for me, and less recoil is always better in my opinion.
Never shot 7-08, but then I like older cartridges like 300 Savage, 8mm mauser, 30-06, 6.5x55, etc .... all my guns and cartridges are proven killers.
I reload all my ammo, and bullet selection in 7mm is astounding! from groundhogs to moose, the 280 Rem can do it all, within it's limitations of course.

I have to say, I really do like the idea of the .280. If it had been invented 1st over the .270 and was the common ammo on the store shelf, I would have the .280 instead of the .270. And the bullet selections is "astounding". I guess using that argument, I should get a 30-06 (it is on my to-buy list by the way). But also on my "really don't need" list.
Really do like this 7mm-08 I bought. Took it out and shot factory 140gr CL and it shot ok, maybe 1.25 moa. It is well withing minute of deer though and I have begun carrying it hunting already. The first batch of handloads gave better results, got to go back to the range and try out some more loads as soon as I can get there. I really didn't expect much drop in recoil but after shooting the 7mm-08, I shot my .270 and there was a very noticeable difference in recoil. More than expected. I think I am going to fall for this little gun. It is by the way a Mossberg 100ATR Bantam with 20" fluted bbl. It is the youth model, but it came with a 1" spacer for adult use. The youth model was the only 1 with a 20" bbl which is what I was looking for. I guess you could call this Mossberg's "mountain rifle". It is light at 6lbs. $300 brand new out the door.

that sounds like a great little gun; 20" barrels are so handy, especially in the coastal woods of western Washington. when I rebarrel my Spanish mauser (next summer) in 7x57 mauser I'm going with a 20", light, handy, plenty of power, and low recoil. Those core lokt's are great bullets and nuthin wrong with 1.25" groups, that's venison in the freezer. Good Luck and great shootin !!

Tried out some more hand loads yesterday. Got 0.550" with 139gr BTSP over 40.5gr of RL15. Also got 0.9" with 154GR SST over 39.0gr of RL15. Went ahead and loaded up some more of the 154 for hunting the rest of this season. I will play with the 139 and 154 some more and tune them to the most accurate load I can find. I am quite happy with the performance so far. I am getting better groups than some more expensive guns I have that I have tried a lot of loads on. I may stick with the 154 even if it doesn't shoot as good as the 139 since that is my accuracy bullet in my 7mag and less inventory to keep up with.

Try the Hornady 162 Amax or Sierra 160 Game King, pretty consistent in my vintage 7x57 mauser's.

while the 280 is not almost obsolete, it has certainly lost market share and continues to decline. it is a somewhat popular cartridge for custom builds, but that is the proverbial drop in the bucket when compared to the average hunter and what he/she purchases from the local gun store. as for the 7/08, it has a strong following, but nothing even close to the 308/270 win/or 30-06. the 7/08 lacks the power of the 280. one only needs to look at case capacity to see the difference.

I just re-barreled my Savage 7-08 to handle the 162 AMax...
If your twist is fast enough, it has an amazing BC of .625. I've read that some use it for hunting, but Hornady doesn't recommend it for that application.

CAUTION: The following post includes loading data beyond currently published maximums for this cartridge. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Neither the writer, The Firing Line, nor the staff of TFL assume any liability for any damage or injury resulting from use of this information.
I thought it's be fun to run some numbers in QuickLoad to get a theoretical comparison at SAAMI spec numbers and equal barrel lengths.
24" barrel, SAAMI max pressure, uncompressed loads:
110gr Barnes TTXS, 3,405fps
139gr Hornady SP, 3,085fps
180gr Berger BTHP, 2,722
110gr Barnes, 3,246fps
139gr Hornady, 2,972fps
180gr Berger, 2,595fps
So, it looks like the 7-08 runs right around 125fps behind the .280Rem at almost all bullets weights. Both cartridges will push at least a couple of those bullets slightly faster with compressed loads but neither gains enough to change the numbers to any real degree.
The 7-08 gets the bullets to speeds with a whole lot less powder though.
Both max out the 110gr with RL-17, the 7-08 using only 49.1gr, the .280 using 57.8gr. The 280 is 4% faster but uses 22% more powder. The 280 is 25.4% efficient, the 7-08 is 27.9%
With the 139s, the 7-08 does it with 46.9gr RL-17 (an excellent 30.5% efficient) while the .280 needs Ramshot Hunter and is 26.7% efficient.
With the 180s, the 7-08 likes W760 and is an very excellent 33.7% efficient, the .280 is likes RL19 as is an excellent 29.1% efficient.
Nobody plans to screw up their lives...
...they just don't plan not to.

Long vs. short, alot more boiler room in the former.
I bet a .280 AI pushing the 162 Amax would be one heck of a 1000 yard target round.
Which is better on paper- the .280 AI, or the 7-06?

A beautiful picture book about Verdi, a hatchling python. Verdi is always interrupting and always fidgeting and makes the other snakes nervous.
Verdi by Janell Cannon -- Creator of Stellaluna
The other snakes actually tell him that he wont grow up to be properly green if he is always interrupting and fidgeting. He doesnt want to be like them, because he likes his sportly stripes. All the other green snakes seem to be lazy, boring and rude! They dont like him interrupting.
Verdi climbs to the top of a very tall tree and catapults himself through the sky he thinks if he gets going fast enough and far enough he can stay yellow and striped forever.
The other snakes watch him and comment that based on these activities, he will probably poke his eye out, and probably wont even last to his first molt, or even live to be green.
One day his skin starts to peel revealing a pale green stripe along his whole body. Being speedy hasnt kept him from turning green so he grabs some leaves to try to scrub it off.
One day while in the water he ends up covered in wet, gloppy mud. He likes that even better than the possibility of being green but oops, when it dried it becomes a hard gray shell and he can barely move. When it all cracked and the bits started to fall off his body was greener that before. He feels so bad, he really wanted to stay yellow.
He catapults himself up in the sky again, but forgot he was going to fall back to earth. Luckily some of the other green snakes found him, because he couldnt even move. They gently carried him home and splinted him to a branch.
Now he cant move at all and just has to listen to them while they told him stories of other snakes who hadnt wanted to turn green.
He recovers and heads to the forest, but now he discovers that all the creatures walk right by without seeing him but now, he perfectly matches the greens of the forest.
And now all the young snakes look at him and think he is just and old green hanging lazily in the trees, until he asks them if they want to climb trees with him and do some fancy figure eights!
Do you think he can?
Snake notes:

A snake skin is dry, not slimy

Snakes are carnivores they eat animals, insects, reptiles, fish, eggs, birds, rodents

0x10c will "probably" have a monthly subscription, says Persson
Markus "Notch" Persson has said he and his team are kicking around ideas on how to monetize 0x10c, however, due to server costs, it will "probably" come with a monthly subscription.
Speaking with PC Gamer, Persson said the idea in the game is for players to have their own spaceships, but he'd like to see players forming crews as well.
"The idea is kind of to allow for both. It's still not clear how we're going to monetize the game – but the rough idea I have right now is to have an MMOish part called the multiverse," he explained.
"It'll probably be monthly subscription because of the cost of running all the CPUs on the server. The idea is that one subscription gives you one generator. If a CPU in the game costs us this much money to emulate then it has to consume an equal proportion of the wattage from the generator. So several people could play on one ship with one generator if they wanted. I think that'd be the most fun, but I know a lot of people just want to pilot their own ship.
"That part of the game kind of grew stronger after we played the Artemis Ship Simulator."
Persson said the team may change the business model should players want "some kind of free-to-play system," using microtransactions.
"Not that it is really free – because the expected revenue for a free-to-play game is higher than from the paying customers," he said. "For games which have been designed around [microtransactions] I think it's fine. I mean just look at games like Magic the Gathering or even Scrolls – they're based around collection, so it's fine.
"I think Valve managed to somehow change Team Fortress 2 into a different game where it fit. It's not the same game as it was when it was released but it's still an entertaining game. We could monetize it from Minecraft sales, I guess. But then all of 0x10c development is going to be a monetary burden.
"It puts it in the situation where it's more like a charity game – but you're still charging for it. I'd rather have it be self-sustaining or it feels wrong."
Monetizing the game, he said, would keep it off Kickstarter, which he feels is an avenue that when used by established developers becomes a bit sticky. Plus, Mojang has "enough money" to where it doesn't "need to raise money before making a game."
As for when an alpha version of the game will be made available, Persson said it will be released "when it is fun."

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. --- What does it take to run 200 miles in Central Park in one weekend?
The new film, "200 Miles," showing at Tribeca Film Festival Thursday, April 27, has the answer thanks to its main subject, Ultramarathoner Eric Gelber, of Chappaqua.
- More than 250,000 steps
- 12 gallons of water; two liters of ginger ale
- Six pairs of shoes; nine pairs of socks
- One pound of salami (one of Gelber's favorite running foods), two cantaloupes, and a pound of boiled potatoes
- Five to 20-minute naps
- One Central Park pedicabber who rode 107 miles transporting the Tribeca documentary film crew
The movie follows the father of three who, thanks to this event, made history by completing a record 200 miles around Central Park to raise awareness and one million dollars for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF).
The film not only documents the ups and downs of Gelber's grueling run, but it also follows the stories of several multiple myeloma patients, including his late friend -- and source of much of his inspiration -- Anita.
"Anita was the beginning of the journey," said Gelber. "Now it's become way bigger than me."
Gelber does not have the illness but understands, after watching Anita battle the disease for many years, its hardships and challenges. His effort --- he has been raising money for eight years -- has been formally dubbed, "The Journey Towards a Cure."
His goal, he said, is to hopefully inspire others to do something for someone else.
"No matter how big or small, it doesn't matter. It's the sum of all our efforts that make the difference."
The movie is at 6 p.m. at iPic Theaters, 11 Fulton St. After the event, it will be available on Tribeca's YouTube page and on the MMRF's page . The film will also be on Amazon Prime.

Lue Hall of Fame Induction Highlights Legends Weekend
Lincoln – The return of one of the most electrifying scorers in program history highlights the Legends Weekend festivities for the Husker basketball program on Saturday, Feb. 16. Tyronn Lue will become the newest member of the Nebraska Basketball Hall of Fame, as he will be inducted at halftime of the Nebraska-Michigan State game, scheduled to tip at 7 p.m.
Lue spent three seasons at Nebraska, leading the Huskers to 59 wins and three postseason appearances, including the 1998 NCAA Tournament, before becoming a first-round draft pick of the Denver Nuggets in 1998.
The Athletic Department will honor Lue, along with special award winners Tom Osborne and Dave Hoppen, with a Hall of Fame Dinner on Friday, Feb. 15, at Lincoln Station, beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets for the dinner are $30 apiece with discounts for group tables, and can be purchased by calling Chris Anderson in the Community Relations Office at (402) 472-7771, or by filling out the order form here by Monday, Feb. 11
Lue's name is all over the Husker record book, as he finished his career in the top 10 in 13 categories and still ranks among Nebraska career leaders in 10 categories, including assists (432, fourth), scoring average (15.9, seventh), steals (154, seventh), points scored (1,577, eighth), 3-pointers (145, eighth), free throw percentage (.788, eighth) and starts (96, 10th). Lue is the only player on Nebraska's top-10 scoring chart who played less than four seasons as a Husker.
As a junior in 1997-98, Lue earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, averaging 21.2 points, 4.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game, as the Huskers went 20-12 and reached the NCAA Tournament. His 678 points that season ranked second on Nebraska's single-season chart while his 152 assists that season was fifth on NU's single-season list. He had four of his seven career 30-point efforts in 1997-98, including a career-high 36-point performance against Virginia in the Rainbow Classic.
Following his Husker career, he was the No. 23 overall pick of the Denver Nuggets before he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Lue won two NBA titles with the Lakers, as part of an 11-year playing career. He played for seven teams during his NBA career, appearing in 554 career games and averaging 8.5 points and 3.1 assists per game. Following his retirement after the 2008-09 season, Lue joined the Boston Celtics as the organization's Director of Player Development in 2009 and was named an assistant coach in 2011.
The Nebraska Basketball Hall of Fame was the brainchild of longtime Husker athletic supporter Jerry Solomon, who first approached the University about the project in 1988. Solomon, along with Jack Bock, Dale Herman and Dale Jensen, provided financial support for the Hall of Fame at that time. The Hall is now co-sponsored by the Nebraska Athletic Department and the Rebounders Club.
Lue was selected by the Nebraska Basketball Hall of Fame Executive Committee, which includes Hall of Famers Rex Ekwall and Dave Hoppen, Rebounders Board Officer Linda Hrdlicka along with Marc Boehm, Chris Anderson, Jayden Olson and Shamus McKnight from the NU Athletic Department.
While Lue is the only player in the 2013 class, the honorees in February will also include retiring Athletic Director Tom Osborne as the Bud Cuca Special Merit Award winner, while Dave Hoppen was chosen as the Whitehead Distinguished Alumni Award.
Tom Osborne will receive the Bud Cuca Special Merit Award. The award is given to someone who helps shape the Husker basketball program from a supporting role and was renamed in 2003 in honor of Bud Cuca, a long-time Husker basketball supporter who passed away in 2002 following a battle with cancer.
Osborne was one of the driving forces for improving Nebraska's basketball facilities during his tenure as Athletic Director at Nebraska. He led the development and construction of the Hendricks Training Complex, which is considered one of the elite basketball facilities in the country, and worked with the city of Lincoln in the creation of Pinnacle Bank Arena, which will become the home of the Husker basketball program next season. Osborne retired in January of 2012.
Dave Hoppen will be recognized as the 2013 winner of the Whitehead Distinguished Alumni Award, which honors a former player and Hall of Fame member who has been a positive force in the state and local community since his playing days ended. The award was renamed after Bus Whitehead, who passed away in 2010, to recognize his contributions to the Nebraska basketball program. Hoppen, who was inducted into the Nebraska Basketball Hall of Fame in 1996 and is a longtime season ticket holder, has been active in the Omaha metro area as well as in his support of the Husker Basketball and the Rebounders Club.
Huskers to Wear 1976-77 Throwbacks vs. Michigan State
As part of the season-long celebration for the final season at the Devaney Center, the Huskers will also don throwback jerseys for the Michigan State contest. Nebraska will wear jerseys from the 1976-77 season created by adidas which feature red letters with black trim for the numbers and red and black trim along the sides and waistline.
This will be the second straight year adidas has created throwback jerseys for the Huskers, as Nebraska wore throwbacks honoring the 1949-50 team during the 2012 Big Ten Tournament.
Tickets for the Nebraska-Michigan State game on Feb. 16, are on sale by calling 800-8-BIGRED or visiting Huskers.com.

Conjuring Hazy Memories with Kristen Morgin's Trompe L'oeil Clay Sculptures
Kristen Morgin's sculptures, composed mainly of clay, exert both beauty and loss, as her subjects appear to be unearthed or abandoned objects in varying states of ruin or decay. Morgin's remarkable ability to conjure the textures of accessible objects—such as carved wood, rusted metal, and fabric—in clay emphasizes the complexity of the present by way of the past. Her works, which include Topolino (2003), an abandoned Fiat micro car, serve as memento mori of the 20th century's material culture.

This 2/2.5 cache hides in Central Park, New York City, NY. GeoMiss placed "Monkey's Lament" GC23C94 in January of this year. This was the first geocache she ever placed. It's already clocked more than 170 finds. There's a high muggle possibility so stay stealthy. You'll be rewarded, not just with a great find, but with a world class view and location GeoMiss says is perfect to "ponder… life, love, or the mysteries of the universe."
She also said, "I started geocaching in June of 2009 in Michigan, and after my first find, I was hooked. In the fall, I moved to New York City to pursue my doctorate in Art History." She goes on, "I realized what a great hobby it really is, especially in an overwhelming place like NYC. I am very proud of this cache, and hope others continue to enjoy it as much as I do."

The Three Brothers (三兄弟, Sankyōdai) is a team from Iwagakure that chased down Kosuke Maruboshi in an attempt to retrieve valuable information that he had stolen from them. Their efforts were, however, thwarted by Team Asuma using their Formation Ino–Shika–Chō.
The Three Brothers showed excellent team-work, their individual abilities complementing each other, with Kosuke lamenting that they did not have any apparent weaknesses and that he was most certain to be killed by them. The team themselves noted that no one had ever escaped their clutches.
All three brothers seemed to have some level of speed as it often seemed that they were skating on the ground instead of running on it — whether or not this is use of Earth Release is unknown however.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. -- Since joining the Men in Red last spring, Fire deputy goalkeeper Paolo Tornaghi has come up big when called upon.
Whether it was starting in front of 60,000 at Olympic Stadium in Montreal last March or standing tall in a 3-2 win over San Jose back in July, when asked to do a job, the 25-year-old Italian has been a reliable backup when U.S. international Sean Johnson is away with the Men's National Team.
Earlier this season, the club began the process of sponsoring Tornaghi for a green card and his performances and dedication to the Fire were repaid this week when he officially received it.
The news makes the Inter Milan youth product a permanent U.S. resident but more importantly in team circles, frees up an international roster spot in the process.
"I was very happy to hear the news," Tornaghi told Chicago-Fire.com. "When I decided to come to MLS, it was because I had a plan to stay more than a couple years. This is a process that can help you to stay here longer, get involved in MLS and I'm happy to now be a resident of the U.S."
The green card seems to signal that the club views the Italian as a longer term option between the sticks with Johnson speaking in the past about a desire to one day play in Europe.
For Tornaghi, receiving domestic status is part of his goal of being the club's number one 'keeper in the future.
"Of course it's my wish. I'm here because I want to be one of the starting players for the Fire. My first two years in Chicago have already been good and I hope the future will bring some more positive stuff for me here in this club."

text: UPDATED: Another fire on USS Miami at shipyard By GRETYL MACALASTERUnion Leader Correspondent March 18. 2013 9:15PM KITTERY, Maine — Fire crews were once again called to the USS Miami in dry dock at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Monday afternoon. The light fixture fire was quickly extinguished, but last May the same submarine suffered more than $400 million in damage when a civilian employee set a fire aboard to get out of work early. Casey Fury, 26, was sentenced to just over 17 years in federal prison Friday for setting that fire and a smaller fire outside the nuclear submarine in June. Monday's fire aboard the USS Miami was not intentionally set, officials said. Shipyard spokesperson Deb White said sandblasting operations in the control area of the forward compartment of the sub produced some sand grit that damaged a temporary light fixture, causing a fire. It was immediately put out with a CO2 fire extinguisher, White said. Crews in the affected area were temporarily evacuated as a precaution. No one was injured. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard fire crews responded to the fire around 2 p.m. By 4:30 p.m., work had resumed, White said. In May, five fire crews were injured fighting the 12-hour blaze that ignited after Fury lit a bag of rags on fire. The small fire raged after enamel paint lining the inside of the area caught fire. Fury admitted to setting the previous fires during a July investigation and pleaded guilty to two federal charges of arson in November. On Friday, he received his prison sentence and was ordered to pay $400 million in restitution to the Department of Navy, although the government acknowledged he will not likely be able to pay even a significant portion of that total over his lifetime. The court recommended in the sentencing agreement that Fury be placed in a prison facility that can address his mental health needs. The work being done when Monday's fire broke out is part of ongoing repair work to the sub, White said. The repairs are expected to be deferred soon as a result of sequestration cuts, Paul O'Connor, president of the Metal Trades Council, said earlier this month. firstname.lastname@example.com Public Safety Portsmouth

Entertainment Discovery Platform Moving Towards a More Social User Experience With Assistance From Industry Leading Advisory Team
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 9, 2014) - Trailerpop, creator of social-focused entertainment discovery apps for the web and mobile devices, announced today that the company has bolstered its board of advisors with the addition of two seasoned leaders in mobile and product design: Karim Varela, Director of Android at Tinder, and Jason Carlin, Senior Designer at YouTube. The two new members join the current advisory board, which includes people with experience at Apple, Microsoft, Publicis, Viggle and TV Guide.
"We couldn't be more excited to have Karim and Jason join our group of expert advisors," said Jon Vlassopulos, CEO and Founder of Trailerpop. "Their top-notch technical and creative skills, incredible drive and ability to take software and apps in new and intelligent directions make them important assets to the Trailerpop brand as we continue to grow the company and prepare for the launch of the next version of our app."

Most recently, Jason designed elements for Measure Map, a blog statistic product by Google and Adaptive Path. His specialties are product design and strategy, user experience design, information architecture, web standards consulting, graphic design and UI design.
"I love the way Trailerpop makes entertainment discovery more fun and social, and that they've already grown to more than half a million users," said Jason Carlin, Senior Designer at YouTube. "Their upcoming V2 shows a lot of progress and expands on the social aspects in new and novel ways, particularly around communication and commerce. I'm excited to keep working with Trailerpop's talented team and to keep pushing the UI and user experience forward."
Karim Varela and Jason Carlin join Trailerpop advisory board luminaries from the tech and entertainment world, including: Avi Savar, foremost authority on Social Media and Branded Content, Head of Social, Publicis; Lars Albright, founder of Quattro (which became iAD at Apple), current CEO of leading Mobile Rewards Platform, Session M; Katherine Styponias, current SVP Technology Business Management at HBO, and former General Manager, Interactive Entertainment Business Division, Microsoft; Paul Greenberg, former EVP and GM of TV Guide Digital and former CEO of CollegeHumor Media; and Dr. Kai Buehler, leading voice in the interactive TV industry in the US and Europe and former GM of Viggle.
"Karim and Jason bring a wealth of experience to the group," said Trailerpop advisor Paul Greenberg, ex CEO, College Humor, division of IAC. "They both have a strong track record of creating truly social applications that bring people together through a combination of tech and entertainment, which matches perfectly with the direction that Trailerpop is moving. I have been involved in this space for many years and am excited about what Jon and team have built. The V2 has the potential to connect us all around our entertainment interests, which is a pretty exciting way to filter the world."

So, college students, how does it feel to be so darn popular? Are your ears burning? Do you hear sound bites about "student loan interest" and "rate hikes" and "Stafford" and "1 trillion" and "deadlock" and think, hey, maybe I should pay some attention to this?
Well, you should. Here's your crash course on the current student loan shenanigans in Congress, and how they might affect you … or not.
Q: So what's this I hear about student loan shenanigans in Congress?
A: Oh, it's super fun. Back in 2007, they passed a bill reducing interest rates on subsidized federal Stafford loans. It's set to expire June 30, unless Congress extends it. If they don't, rates could double – from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent.
Q: How much more am I going to have to cough up?
A: Well, if you take out the maximum amount allowed for this particular loan ($23,000), you'd be paying about $5,000 in increased interest over the life of a 10-year or 15-year loan.
Q: And they can't agree on this … why?
A: Here's the killer: They DO agree on this. Republicans and Democrats both realize that students are broke and they vote. They don't want to get on your bad side.
Q: Whaaaa?
A: I know, right? It boils down to a fight over how to pay for this. Republicans want to take it out of money set aside for Obamacare. Democrats want to make rich people pay more taxes for it.
Q: I only took out private loans. Will this affect me?
A: Nope, but your interest rates are probably through the roof in the first place, so have fun with that.
Q: I've already graduated and I'm in the process of paying back student loans. Will this affect me?
A: Nope, those interest rates are fixed, so you can rest easy unless you want to go back for another undergraduate degree.
Q: How about me? I'm in grad/law/medical/business school.
A: Nope, this all only applies to undergrads, so you can go edit your dissertation or something.
Q: So this applies to every undergrad with a federal loan, correct?
A: Incorrect! This applies only to subsidized federal Stafford loans for the 2012-13 school year and beyond. It will not affect current loans, nor will it affect Perkins loans or unsubsidized Staffords.
Q: Whatever happened to that bill forgiving all student loan debt? That'll totally happen, right?
A: Aw, honey. That bill went to live on a nice farm, where it can frolic and play with its buddies Marijuana Legalization and End The Fed.

Web analytics provider dramatically cuts pay-per-click (PPC) and slashes server footprint with Fusion ioMemory PCIe solutions.
The Challenge
BrainPad, Inc. provides Web-based data mining, business analytics, operational research, and mathematical solutions for businesses. BrainPad's L2MixerTM service provides business intelligence on end-user, pay-per-click behavior, allowing companies to optimize product pricing. Its RtoasterTM service, used by various global companies, provides end-users product recommendations based on a behavioral analysis of their browsing patterns as well as targeted pricing recommendations based on geo-specific, behavioral, and attributes-based data from imported ERP databases.
As BrainPad's customer base and product line expanded, so did the load on both systems' databases, which in turn slowed the performance of its services.
BrainPad's innovative engineering teams wasted no time researching solutions that would demonstrate why BrainPad is a leader in Web analytics and research. BrainPad needed systems that overcame the following challenges:
The SanDisk® Solution
Powering Pay-Per-Click intelligence
Batch Job Benchmarking
Having heard about SanDisk's industry-leading performance from its OEM vendor, Tsuyoshi decided to give Fusion ioMemoryTM products a try. To benchmark performance, Tsuyoshi installed a 160GB Fusion ioMemory ioDrive® card on one of BrainPad's PostgreSQL databases and ran some of its heavier reporting jobs. The results spoke for themselves.
Tsuyoshi said, "One batch job, which used to take over four hours to complete, ran in less than 30 minutes. The ioDrive cards also doubled the number of threads we could run in parallel—from three to four threads up to eight to 10 threads, which meant we could run more jobs at the same time. We were genuinely impressed."
Raising the Roof on L2MixerTM Reporting
Speeding performance in a benchmark environment is one thing, but the ioDrive cards demonstrated they were more than capable of handling BrainPad's heaviest, real-world workloads.
Tsuyoshi said, "Moving the L2Mixer databases from hard disks to ioDrive cards cut the I/O wait time for our pay-per-click processing by more than half—from 18% to just 8%."
This reduction in I/O wait time resulted in the following performance benefits:
Tsuyoshi said, "Performance is high enough that we can now meet the most demanding customer SLAs. This ensures our customers always get reports quickly so they can make timely business decisions on factors like pricing to maximize their profitability."
Real-time RtoasterTM Recommendations
Satoshi Shinohara had heard about the phenomenal results Tsuyoshi's team had with BrainPad's L2Mixer system. After consulting with Tsuyoshi, Satoshi decided to add some ioDrive cards to Rtoaster's PostgreSQL database—and achieved similarly impressive results.
Satoshi said, "The ioDrive cards improved our analysis times tremendously. We reduced batch job processing times from 60 minutes on a system with a 24 x 15k RPM SAS disk array in a RAID 10 to just over two minutes."
Tsuyoshi Inoue,
Chief Engineering Architect, BrainPad Inc.
Satoshi said, "The ioDrive cards have improved performance so much that we can meet all customers SLAs with plenty of headroom for future growth. When we do need to scale out, we can do so easily, and with far less hardware."
Simpler Systems that are Easier to Maintain
In addition to eliminating performance problems, the ioDrive cards also reduced BrainPad's maintenance workload.
Tsuyoshi noted the Fusion ioMemory solution's cost benefits to the L2Mixer system: "The L2Mixer database now uses 50% less rack space and has no disks or enclosures for us to monitor and maintain. It also lowers our energy costs."
Tsuyoshi added that the database's high performance makes the system much easier to maintain: "Before implementing SanDisk, we had to run database maintenance tasks once a week or more just to avoid a serious performance degradation. Now, we can eliminate these tasks altogether, which is quite significant."
The Rtoaster system realized similar benefits. "The Rtoaster database now uses 33% less rack space, and we've eliminated the disk enclosures," said Satoshi. "Our system is smaller and more flexible, which makes tuning and maintenance easier. The ioDrive Duo card even reduced the time of our daily PostgreSQL vacuum job from one and a half hours to just 15 minutes."
Enabling More Reliable and Available Architectures
Tsuyoshi told us, "Our procurement group initially had some reservations about how we could create a highly available and reliable system with the Fusion ioMemory solution's server-based memory."
However, after speaking with some experts at SanDisk, Tsuyoshi learned that reliability is built into SanDisk's enterprise technology and that the ioDrive card's performance enables simpler, more powerful systems, with fewer failure points.
"Our new system is simpler, more flexible, and easier to modify and improve," explained Tsuyoshi. "Our engineers decided to push the purchase through. We have been deployed for some time now, and we all agree it was a sound investment."
Database Servers
Database Servers
Implementing ioDrive cards gave BrainPad the following benefits:
Tsuyoshi is thrilled with the performance and consolidation SanDisk has enabled and told us, "We are very happy and are actively deploying ioDrive cards in several other systems."

Pelham fireworks explosion determined accidental
By JULIE HANSON
Union Leader Correspondent
Reloadable mortar similar to one in 2012 Pelham accident blamed for serious fireworks injury Friday
Derry boy overcomes burns from July, 2012 fireworks blast in Pelham
Reloadable mortars 'a factor' in Pelham fireworks accident
'Long haul' ahead in Pelham after fireworks mishap
More reported injuries in Pelham fireworks accident
PELHAM- - A preliminary report by the state Fire Marshall has determined that a July 3 fireworks incident that injured 13 people was an accident.
The investigation concluded that the injured people were on or near a back deck where about 344 unpackaged reloadable mortar shells were stored, according to a press release from the Fire Marshal.
An aerial spinner accidentally landed in the pile of exposed shells sparking an explosion, according to witnesses cited in the release.
The overall case remains under investigation by the Hillsborough County Attorney's Office, the Pelham Police Department and the NH State Fire Marshal's Office.
It was not clear if charges could be brought forward.The accident occurred at annual Independence Day celebration held by Chris and Jeannie Pappathan at their home at 40 Dodge Road. Homeowner Christopher Pappathan, 58, was injured in the blast, along with: Jessica Pappathan, 32, of Derry; Paul Pappathan, 58, of Everett, Mass.; Patrick Foy, 42, of Greenfield; Marcie Foy, 31, of Greenfield; Gary Brunelle, 45, of Londonderry; Daniel Haight, 50, of Pelham; and Jessel Jones, 39, of Islip, N.Y.
Five children were also injured. Ben Bertini, 2 and Tyler Brunelle, 2 were transported to Shriners Hospital along with an 8-month-old, Olivia Foy.
The Pappathan family was unavailable to comment about the report on Friday.
The accident opened discussion on fireworks safety and possible restrictions.
Locally, the Board of Selectmen held public hearings in October to discuss whether the town should regulate fireworks use.
Chairman William McDevitt said the Board felt an obligation to hold the hearings after residents voiced concerns.
"We're all sympathetic to what happened," McDevitt said. "It's about, 'How do we best approach it?'"
Most residents did not seem to be in favor of banning fireworks.
Selectmen also discussed the pros and cons of adopting a permitting process for residential firework displays.
"The majority felt that a permit would be difficult, if not impossible, to enforce," McDevitt said.
The Board decided to go in the direction of increased public education and public outreach in partnership with the fire department, McDevitt said.
Some constituents brought their concerns to Rep. Charlene Takesian, R-Pelham and asked her to help draft something that would prevent future accidents such as the one in Pelham.
Takesian is co-sponsoring House Bill 336 with Rep. Brian Rhodes, D-Nashua and Sen. Chuck Morse R-Salem, which would ban reloadable shells like those involved the July accident. Spinners, helicopters, and parachutes would also be banned under the legislation.
The bill also calls for new requirements on retailers to provide safety information about legal fireworks.
The Pappathans are responsible people who have had fireworks displays for many years, Takesian said. She hopes her legislation will raise awareness that fireworks can be dangerous.
She believes the fireworks named in her legislation were banned at some point in the past and later made legal.
House Bill 291 made the fireworks permissible by making all fireworks approved by the Consumer Product Safety Commission permissible in New Hampshire, said Rep. Brian Rhodes, who added he was immediately on board with co-sponsoring Takesian's bill.
"I thought it was a common-sense safety bill," he said.
Rhodes said he is not looking to ban all fireworks.
The safety literature requirement is a key component toward his ultimate goal of better education for the consumer. Many retailers already hand the information out but he would like to make it mandatory.
"I don't want this to be buyers beware type of thing," Rhodes said.
Even if a new ban is not passed, Takesian said she would support an amendment requiring safety literature with every sale.
"I think we all agree that at the very minimum there should be dialogue going on between the people buying and the people selling to let people know when they buy these aerial fireworks that they're dangerous and unpredictable," Takesian said.

- 100% silk
- Center back to hem: 21" (53 cm)
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Rated 3 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Nelly145 Way too short! This shirt is beautiful, but it's so short that you either have to wear it with something very highwaisted, show your midsection, or add a longer tank underneath which would look stupid. It's also quite low cut,so be aware you will be showing some cleavage in this top. I'm 5'9 and thin, and I got a size L. It barely covered my belly button. Since I'm not into any of the looks listed above, this has to go back. The color is pretty, the material is nice, and overall it's a lovely feminine shirt. It's just unnecessarily short. Maybe shorter girls will have better luck with this one. February 1, 2013

Fantastical 2
The Sweet Setup declared Fantastical 2 the best calendar app for iPhone, and it's easy to see why. Fantastical is fast, a native iOS 7 citizen, and has optional support for Apple's Reminders. One of its best features is that you can use natural language to create events and tasks, like "Lunch with Amy at 12:30" to create an event, or "get milk /p" to add a Reminder to your Personal list.
As of Fantastical 2.0.5, you now have the option to open links in our 1Browser, making it much easier for you to securely log into services, register at new sites with 1Password Identities, and fill out shopping carts with one tap.
Fantastical 2 is available for iPhone in App Store.
For all you folks out there who need help tracking projects and the time you put into them, Tonalli is a minimal and free iPhone client for Tick. You can see your daily timecard, manage said timecards, and view reports and charts for all your projects.
A new 1Password button in Tonalli's login screen should make it faster to log into your Tick account. You'll switch to 1Password with an AutoSearch for Tick. Swipe the item to open the Action Bar, copy your password, then switch back to paste and get to tracking time.
Tonalli is available for iPhone in App Store.
As always, we thank the developers behind these and all the Apps that Love 1Password for making it easier to work, play, and stay secure both on- and offline with 1Password.

My sister neglected her 2nd Gen Tama and it became Gozaruthchi. Well, since it's the only adult I have left to breed with (my sister gave me her tama's) I'm breeding it with my Mimitchi (ugh... poor Guy). Well, as I was raising their friendships, Mimitchi gave Gozarutchi a cape. Gozarutchi commenced dressing in the cape and then shook for a few seconds... then Oyajitchi appeared and he smiled twice and then became Gozautchi again. What does this mean?
Gozarutchi becomes Oyajitchi?

Yes, I figured that...
I was just thinking it might possibly be a hint for something.
