FABuloso is a python tool to easily organize and deploy an OpenStack architecture using Fabric. FABuloso manages configuration with components within catalogs (take a look at the overview for more info about the different parts of FABuloso).
We know there are really cool tools out there, but we think we have to focus on doing things simpler and easier. That's the reason why we started developing FABuloso to deploy OpenStack clouds at StackOps. We think the OpenStack community suffers of the 'Golden Hammer' syndrome about all these nice deployment tools. FABuloso only does what it does, and it does it very well.
The OpenStack™ open source platform offers cloud computing solutions for companies of all sizes and industries. Thanks to contributions from developers from around the world, its technology improves every day. For this reason, StackOps has always trusted it to provide service to our customers.
However, many of our potential customers found the platform difficult to use.
For this reason, in 2010 StackOps created StackOps Community Distro©, inception of all the suite of StackOps products, the distribution package that makes it easy to deploy clouds with OpenStack™ and eliminates the technological barrier for the end user.
And it worked.
Nowdays (2016) StackOps offers their products 'as a service' in his Service Provider Cirrusflex.
StackOps 360® is a package of four products bundled on top of our popular StackOps distro built on FABuloso, enabling easy management, of both public and private clouds, with complete functionality:
- Create computing clouds
- Automate your processes
- Control resource usage
- Offer your customers a pay‐per-use solution
- Provide the best user experience
So when you are ready to get your FABuloso flavored OpenStack deployment to an enterprise-grade, fully supported solution, download StackOps360 and don't forget to contact us.
Fabric is a Python (>= 2.5) library and command-line tool for streamlining the use of SSH for application deployment or systems administration tasks. It provides a basic suite of operations for executing local or remote shell commands (normally or via sudo) and uploading/downloading files, as well as some auxiliary functionality that helps in such tasks. You can learn more from its website.
Fabric helps us achieve our goals by providing us with a thin layer to communicate with the target server and execute commands on it, with the only requirement of having a base OS installed with a SSH server configured and running. Moreover, being a push system gives us full control on the deployment process.
Currently, we provide support for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to all our catalogs, but support for more ubuntu versions and other Linux systems is planned in future releases.
Right now Folsom and Grizzly are actively supported and we are working to also support Havana as soon as possible. Future OpenStack versions will be supported as well.
To ask for help, propose new features, report bugs or whatever you have to tell about FABuloso you can use our discussion mailing at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/fabuloso-discussion.
Once you understand what FABuloso does, you can see the installation and quickstart guides to start deploying your first OpenStack architecture.

TRIBUTES have been paid to a 'popular and loving' teenager who died at her home.
Megan Spellman-Ross, 19, was found not breathing in bed by her mum and paramedics were unable to revive her.
The official cause of death is still unknown after the results of the post mortem proved inconclusive but her parents said that she could have suffered a seizure whilst in bed on March 3.
- VIDEO/PICTURES: Thief caught breaking into restaurant on camera
- LIVE BLOG: GCSE results day in East Lancashire 2017
- 'In this day and age to not have access to water is ridiculous,' -Neighbour dispute leaves residents without water for almost a month
- Man arrested as Burnley player is attacked by fan during East Lancashire derby clash
Megan, from Chatburn, had been diagnosed with Tuberous Sclerosis when she was six-months-old, a condition that includes epilepsy and she had to undergo tests and scans at hospitals every month to help her treatment.
The former Bowland High School student was studying for a humanities degree with the Open University from her home in Downham Road after completing her A-Levels at St Mary's College in Blackburn.
Her dad, Dave Spellman, 50, said that her condition, which she 'never allowed to be dominated or defined by', seemed to have been improving over the last few months and that her death came 'out of the blue'.
He said: "It has come as a huge shock to the whole family and the enormity of what happened is just sinking in.
"Her condition seemed to have been improving recently and she had just switched on to new medication. This has really come out of the blue.
"Megan never let her medical complications do- minate her or define her and she never made a big deal of them.
"It's hard to come to terms with the fact that she will not be with us again.
"She had been planning a trip to Rome with a friend and had never been abroad before on her own.
"She was compassionate and had a very gentle nature."
Her mum, Juile, 50, said: "I was working from home as I do sometimes and I noticed at around lunchtime that she had not appeared. I had heard her get up earlier in the day.
"I went into her room and found that she wasn't breathing. I tried to help her and I called for an ambulance which came very quickly.
"They did everything they could but they were not able to revive her.
"She always got excellent care from her doctor, Karl Rakshi, at Royal Blackburn Hospital."
John Tarbox, head teacher at Bowland High School, said: "Megan was a very happy and delightful girl.
"She was the recipient of the Georgina Award at the end of year 11 in recognition of her attitude to school and the way she confronted the challenges.
"Our thoughts are very much with Megan's family and her friends at this time and in particular with Beth, Megan's sister, who is on our roll in year 11."
The funeral service will be held on Monday at Skipton Crematorium from 11am.
And donations will be accepted towards The Malala Fund.

I'm just starting to play around with Python...
I have downloaded a Package for Python.
Inside the readme file it says:
For python version 2.x or 3.x
- To install in sites-packages: « python setup.py install »
- To build extension only: « python setup.py build »
What's the difference between sites-packages and build extension?
When is it suitable to use any of them?
Is the "sites-packages" referring to websites written in python????
Or are they effectively the same?
Thank you..

The Northwest is known for wild salmon especially Copper River caught and we are known for the wild growing huckleberries plus hazelnut trees and sweet Walla Walla onions.
Living in the Las Vegas valley and loving southwest food, I was inspired several years ago to create a salmon recipe that was truly southwest.
My garden has been abundant with fresh basil this year, so I've been constantly imagining new ways to use my delicious crop.
The love of ceasar salads and salmon together. Its the
only fish my husband will eat again and again. You
can fix salmon so many ways and never get tired of it.
Cooked in Pacific Northwest style, on fragrant cedar boards. Make sure they are untreated. The rosemary is a perfect compliment to the cedar, as is the brown sugar in the vinaigrette.

NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Saint Leo women's cross country team earned regional recognition on Tuesday as they were regionally ranked eighth in the south region according to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
The Lions, who gained eight freshman runners this season, have competed in three races so far this year. At the University of Tampa Early Bird Invitational, the Lions finished with a season-best 7th place finish. Their next race, which took place at the University of South Florida, featured a 9th place finish, while their most recent meet, the University of Florida Mountain Dew Invitational, saw a 14th place finish.
This season features a six meet regular season schedule and next weekend, the team will host their first home event in the last five years.
USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning team strength with current-season results in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.
The NCAA Division II Regional Championships will be held on Saturday, November 3 and Sunday, November 4.
To view the complete regional poll, click here.

text: Icebone1000 1958 Report post Posted March 2, 2014 After debugging some really weird behaviors, like vectors going from size 0 to negative values out of nowhere, I realized this was happening after allocating 4000 ints with new. I dont understand, 4k ints (~15KB) is not that huge, and even if it was, why its messing with my mem? Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_iN9pcbyoiKQV9lNllLWktfOGc/edit?usp=sharing struct TileMap{ int * pTileMap; // indexes on m_vTiles int mapW, mapH; float hSpacing, vSpacing; sprite::InstancedSprites m_tileInstSprites; sprite::InstancesVertexBuffer m_IVB; TileMap():pTileMap(nullptr){} ~TileMap(){ if(pTileMap) delete [] pTileMap; } }; std::vector<TileMap> m_vTileMaps; This is the structure you see in the vid. Both InstancedSprites and InstancesVertexBuffer hold vectors on its internals, those are getting screwed..that doesnt make any sense, theres a memory constrain Idont know about? Dx Im hopping is something really stupid, but the vid pretty much shows Im not overwriting stuff myself right? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DETROIT (AP) -- Several groups in Detroit are looking to chalk up a new world record.
Organizers plan to create the world's largest hopscotch course in the city on Saturday.
They're inviting artists, community leaders, kids, families and businesses to come out and chalk up 22,720 feet worth of Detroit's sidewalks.
In all, that's more than 4 miles, which would be good for a new world record.
The idea is to bring people together in the city and encourage community, play, imagination and the creative use of design.
Organizer Ajooni Sethi tells WWJ-AM that Detroit is the perfect spot for this kind of effort, saying she doesn't "know in what other city this could have happened."

Chapter 1: Deidara
I remember it perfectly... It was a spring night (2012 of March). I was coming from my gymnastics show and going home. As I walked my long Light Brown hair bounced. The way I thought it was I was going to be late. 9:00 o'clock a near by store's clock read. Damn! I thought. Mom was going to kill me.
As I passed the markets and food restaurants I thought I would get some pizza. After I had eaten, I left the store since I figured it was 9:30. When I was about to start my walk again I bumped into something. Hard. Cold. I looked up to see a tall woman (whose at least 5'8) with dark-brown hair peering down at me. She was one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She look down at me through her glasses and asked "Are you the 18 year-old girl that was at the gymnasium doing spectacular flips?"
Yeah, uh, that's me." I hesitated with a smile. Why would someone that beautiful be at my school's cheap gym.
"You know you have a gift, you know?." She asked again
"I guess, I never thought out of the whole world, that can do better than me, I'm the one with a gift." I said, flattered.
"Well your, um, gift is something that can be transformed into something far better than the world." She was good. "So do you mind if a show you something?" She asked. I noded. She then took her glasses to reveal, her blood red eyes. Then she looked me in the eyes.
"Um, I well have to-um, get home! Yeah get home it was nice meeting you."- I forgot to ask her the first basic question- "I did'nt catch your name." But before she could respond, started walking away. Then she grabbed my arm. What a grip. Then I looked her straight in those red eyes.
"Awesomeness" she whispered as her if she was calling on an ancient power. All of a sudden she glowed, like really glow. Her whole body shone a bright yellow and when I looked around my world had changed. I was in a dark room and she and I where together in the room. She had on one of the cutest dress in the world. It was an short drees, with a halter top and ruffles at the bottom. The whole dress was grey with lots of sparkles on it. As music played, she somehow made a chair appear. Then she was dancing, the most beautiful thing ever.
What am I talking about ? She was not. I need to get home, now. "No!" I screamed and then she, the chair and the room where now gone. That's when I blacked out.
Chapter 2: Vampires?
I was in pain when I woke.
"Where am I?" I asked to the air. The my throat started to burn. I screamed out in pain. Omigod, what was wrong with me? Where was I? I got up from holding my throat. I turned on the light switch by the door. Should I open the door? But then I saw a mirror and from the distance I looked different. I ran to the Mirror, which was by the mirror. I observed a now olive-tonned girl instead of a girl with a Carmel completion. Why was I so pale? Then I saw I had red eyes.
"What the hell!" I exclaimed, I never had red eyes. I touched my eyes to see if they were contacts. But to no avail did it work. This isn't me!, I thought, maybe one of those mirrors that plays tricks. Well here's a trick for you. I banged my hand against the mirror so hard that when I looked to see what was left there was glass everywhere and a huge hole in the wall.
Then I, somehow, heard footsteps coming up some stairs. Oh shit! I'm gonna die! I looked around this apartment, which was the size of an attic and only had this room inside there was a couch by the wall- that was shaped like an attic- and a bed by the door here I was just sleeping. I looked to the window, which was by the wall with a brand new whole in it. I opened it to jump out, but then it was so high. Sleep! ah-ha I closed the window and ran back to the bed in about two seconds. Then the door burst open, and I smelled something so good. Then my throat again shot up in pain.
"Your hungry aren't you?" A fimiliar silky voice asked."I know your awake vampires don't sleep."
"Who are you?" I asked since she could tell I wasn't sleeping. I opened my eyes and looked over to see the same tall beautiful woman drop a man- that was at least 30- on the floor. I wondered my throat burned every time I looked at him. He was somehow fascinating.
"Deidara" She said.
"What?" I asked not really not paying attention to what she was saying, because this man had all my attention.
"My name" She responded.
"Oh" I said "My name is Ch-" but before I could finish she cut me off
"Chrystina, I know" She said proudly.
"Urg, please call me Chrys" I said with resent in my voice.
" 'Kay, Chrys" She laughed mocking me.
"Drink up" She said after she pulled out a knife and cut the man's wrist, and red blood poured from him. Almost instantly I dashed to his side and bit his wrist. I was drinking his blood! I was then getting full and when I looked up I saw his veins and he was dead.
I just killed someone. I pushed myself against the wall and I heard a loud thud! I was startled.
"What am I?" I asked Deidara.
Deidara smiled and said "A vampire". A what! I couldn't say anything because I was frozen. Frozen in fear. I loved vampire everything, but now? I then heard at least three people coming up the stairs. I turned to Deidara, who just laughed.
"Time to meet the rest of the coven" She said.
Chapter 3: The Coven
As I looked at Deidara for help, the door opened. I saw another tall and beautiful woman with brown here and a man and a child - whose about 12- and they looked happy. They also had red eyes. As from the looks they must be a family. A vampire family.
"Hello" the man said first "I'm Nate". Nate's voice was like he was an American vampire, not a vampire with an accent. I gave him a friendly nod and a smile.
"This" he continued "is Savannah and our daughter, Sinead". I looked at them and I noticed that she was a vampire.
"Well" Dee said "I need to go hunt. C'mon Nate."
"Daddy!" Sinead called with her squeaky voice "I wanna come!" Then Nate looked at Deidara, who nodded. Sinead ran to her father's side as they left. Seeing the family made me happy and I left the wall and looked at the door. From the corner of my eye I saw Savannah plop down on the couch. She was doing something with her lushish dark brown hair. As I looked around again and I saw the man I just killed. My eyes went wild as I stared at the limp body. Savannah must have seen me, because she was at my side instantly.
"It's okay" She said "It happens, being a vampire is hard." Then she looked down with a smile. As I followed her gaze I saw a diamond ring with every movement from her finger the color would change. "That's way I have Nate he brings out the good in me."
Then she hugged me. I gasped as the anger and startleness was instantly gone and filled with love. I hugged her back and buried my forehead into her shoulder. "Thanks" I whispered.
After the first week of being a newborn vampire. I learned about everything, "vegetarian" vampires-who only drink animal blood- and the Volturi, the vampire cops. Deidara told me I had a lot to learn.
Be sure to be on the look out for chapters 4, 5, and 6. Also I (Carlos Los Davis) wrote this. So until the next chapters come out, which they will be soon, TTYLXOX!

10101010 - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkI am very impressed with the design and attention to detail. This phone stands out as something special. And hopefully it is the first of many great devices from the OnePlus team. There really is no reason to deliberate over buying a Samsung Galaxy S5 or HTC One or Sony Z2 any more. This is the the one. Reply
whalemonster - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkExactly. Flagship spec at this price point is hugely impressive and a great thing for consumers - this will really shake up the market. Samsung, Sony and HTC should be worried. Reply
uhuznaa - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkWell, specs aren't everything, or the wine with the most alcohol for the buck would be the best. Reply
Marthisdil - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkNo Verizon, so won't be a huge impact Reply
deltatux - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkThe US is not the whole world. Verizon is only one of many carriers out there. Pretty much the OnePlus One works on most of the carriers around the world. You can blame Verizon for not being compatible with standards instead of the other way around. Reply
Scionero - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkIf you're willing to spend the huge amounts of money that Verizon asks for, then this phone isn't for you. Reply
TedKord - Thursday, May 01, 2014 - linkIt is if you're holding on to your grandfathered unlimited data and have to pay full retail. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkThere are still many reasons to consider the S5 and Z2, I'd pay more for the S5 to get a replaceable battery and micro SD slot or more for the Z2 to get the better camera, weather sealing and micro SD slot. A cheap phone that doesn't do what I need isn't worth saving the money for.
The Nexus 5 is also much cheaper than other flagship devices despite its top end spec but it hasn't destroyed Sony or Samsung's market either. Reply
Mondozai - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkThat is true, people are irrational. This is why there is so many marketing dollars flying around.
Also, do you need an SD card with 64 GB? Most people don't.
These are killer specs for a killer price. Paying 300 extra dollars for a better camera makes no sense, most people just do selfies anyway. (HTC estimates that selfies take up 90% of all photos in some markets).
At long last, we are entering the era of competitive pricing for high end smartphones. Reply
MonkeyPaw - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkThat HTC statistic makes me sad. Reply
kkwst2 - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkEven worse, I listened for a half hour while these morons on a radio show talked about how poor the cameras were on modern smart phones until one of them realized that the front camera was lower resolution than the rear one. Then they suggested the better camera should be front facing so they could take better selfies. I guess if the statistic is true, maybe they should! Reply
apertotes - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkIf I am going to spend $300+ in a phone, of course I want the better camera, and a micro-sd, and the water resistance. If I am simply gonna make selfies and look at Facebook, I do not need an S5, a Z2, a M8, a OnePlusOne or a Nexus. I will get the cheapest shit my carrier is offering.
It seems you people are blinded by aluminum and unibody designs. Jesus, there is so much more than looks. Reply
Mondozai - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkYou're missing the point.
While we currently don't have raw comparisons between cameras of various smartphones, but a cursory look at OnePlus One's(henceforth known as 'OPO') camera suggests that the difference is very small.
Secondly, while most people just do selfies with their camera, that doesn't mean that that is all they do. Specs matter. And the OPO beats just about every phone on a price/performance index.
The point is that there is no need to spend 250 dollars *extra* on just the camera if you get the 64 GB version. I personally don't use more than 16 GB on my phone(my tablet is a different story) so the saving would be 300 dollars. And not least because the camera in the OPO isn't likely to be radically worse and could even end up being on par with the one in S5.
A lot of people are just defensive because they bought needlessly expensive stuff and are now scarmbling to rationalize it. They just have to face the fact that if you're paying more than 300-350 dollars for a top-shelf smartphone, you're not doing it right. Reply
apertotes - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkI agree that 600 dollars for a phone is too much. But that is how it goes, and sadly there are no top smartphones in the 350 range. Although they are good smartphones, specially the Nexus 5, they lack some very important features, like microsd card, water resistance, ac wifi, etc.
So, unfortunately, paying 600 dollars is still the only option sometimes. Reply
crazysurfanz - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkActually the nexus 5 does have 802.11ac wifi, according to the specs here: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_5-5705.php
(I would link to the play store product page but being in New Zealand I can't access it). Reply
Impulses - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkNot like any of the $600+ phones can be all things to all people either, Qi wireless charging has become a must have for me after getting a couple charging pads (upright Nokia for office, Google magnetized for bedroom, small LG puck for living room)... It's just do darn convenient once you get used to it specially since my N7 supports it too. Reply
jonup - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linklol!
Do you really want a better camera!? Can you really tell the difference between 13MP, 16MP, 20MP or 1millionMP!? And I do not mean analyzing the photo samples with magnifying glass. So you don't want a better camera - your e-penis does.
So you say you want a micro-sd? hmm! Because 64GB of quicker internal storage and access to unlimited cloud storage, for the things you don't need constantly on your fingertips, through an extremely fast LTE, is something you cannot live with. Personally, I never ran out of storage on my N4 and N5 and I always have 3-8GB of nandroids. But I understand some of you folks like to have 7-day supply of music on your phones.
As far as water resistance goes, I can see the value in there but it's not worth the extra bulk when we have already reached the edge of what can comfortably fit in the hand of the average Joe. As a matter of fact I would argue that impact durability is more important than water and dust resistance. Hence the unibody aluminum design might actually have some merit beyond the looks.
Anyways, enjoy spending $300 more on an inferior spec'd device, but for many of us responsiveness and lack of marketing bloat are more important than unnoticeably better camera, unneeded micro-SD of the past, and not having $300 to spent on something we might use . Reply
bill5 - Friday, April 25, 2014 - linknot really irrational, most people just up their contract every two years and pay 199 at most for their $650 samsung or apple phone. or get last years flagship like the sgs4, for 99 or free, if they're more budget conscious.
in this respect, asking people to pay $350 for a nexus 5 is actually a price increase. most people also go to the local phone store to get their phone.
you can save money off contract, but there's always tradeoffs as well ( in many cases worse network, worse network speeds, etc). and you may, depending, pay enough more for unsubbed phone to erase the savings.
it also limits your options, being on an att contract, i have my choice of any phone, the latest and greatest from HTC, Sammy, Sony, LG, etc, for 199 when my upgrade is due. off contract, i pretty much have one flagship choice, the nexus 5, and the nexus 5 only (not counting this new oneplus thing, which jury's still out on the quality of imo)
So, yeah. Reply
Zoomer - Wednesday, April 30, 2014 - linkYou do realize that practically ALL the phones - particularly GSM phones - that your carrier offers is available for unsubsidized purchase? Reply
darwinosx - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkI would wait until people see it with good pictures. Reply
Alexey291 - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkIf you have the money for S5 or Z2 (HTC one isn't even worth debating about) you will get either one of those two.
This device - while impressively specced SOC wise - isn't really that great.
Software wise - CM11 is simply too buggy and unstable (even their "stable" versions) to be sold to mainstream.
Display is meh, camera's meh, no SD card slot (yes yes 64gb of nand is good - but if the price is anything to go by its going to be crap nand) no replaceable battery.
Just like the Nexus line. You get what you pay for. And since in this case one's paying very little - its safe to assume that even though "at this price its an amazing device" but this statement would only hold at THIS price.
Just like with the Nexus. Reply
jerrylzy - Tuesday, April 29, 2014 - link"Software wise - CM11 is simply too buggy and unstable (even their "stable" versions) to be sold to mainstream."
Should I remind you that CM11 on other devices is unofficial build but this one is? And I personally used CM11 for a week on my m7 and I didn't find it "buggy" as you said.
"Display is meh, camera's meh, no SD card slot (yes yes 64gb of nand is good - but if the price is anything to go by its going to be crap nand) no replaceable battery."
I don't see any real inferiority from this device's display and camera compared to those of S5. SD card also becomes much more useless when it comes to Android 4.4. Anyone I know who uses a Galaxy has never replaced the phone's battery. When the phone's running out of battery they simply take out their power banks. Compared to unibody design, replaceable battery isn't that worth. Reply
gg555 - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkOther sites are noting a "tri-microphone" set up with the audio. Any chance this means it has the Audience noise cancellation chip, since the latest version can work with three microphones? Reply
bleh0 - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkWell the specs and the price sold me. I'm usually a stickler for a removable battery and microsd card slot but at this price I can't complain. I wonder how close to cost they are selling it for. Reply
uhuznaa - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkWow, at these kind of prices for the 64 GB version the lack of an SD card slot really doesn't matter anymore. It's almost tempting to get one just as a toy to tinker with.
Now allow installing Android OR WP 8.1 on these things and it gets interesting. Reply
ClockworkPirate - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkI'd be very interested in this with WP8.1. Reply
ZeDestructor - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkAnd no news for Australians...

Mondozai - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkEurope has a free trade deal with China and Japan. Australia is not quite there yet.
Do better! Reply
Flunk - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkThat's the biggest reason so many manufactured goods are more expensive in Australia. So many things are made in China. Reply
etamin - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkIt's like a Xiaomi phone for the US market!
Too bad 5.5" is far too large for me. Also, the panel is not IPS so we'll have to see how it stacks up to current displays. Reply
editorsorgtfo - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkThat's not true. Both the website for the OnePlus and all other tech sites previewing it have said that it uses an IPS display. Reply

dabotsonline - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - link"OnePlus One: USB3.0".

randomhkkid - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkIt's USB 3.0 just in the mirco-usb shape. I believe its the same deal as the S5 where it will work with both 2.0 and 3.0 Reply

crazysurfanz - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkYour table also lists:

Wi-Fi Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G/5G) 802.11 b/g/n/ac
( from: http://oneplus.net/one#specifications ) - though it does not list 802.11a. Reply
sweenish - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkThe shape indicates 2.0, which means you only get 2.0 speeds. Reply

But I was surprised that no mention of 1700 AWS in the frequency section which is T-Mobile's common frequency.

apappas - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkThe most important chart is the one showing worldwide prices. For once Europeans get to pay for chinese-made products as much money as Americans do. Not like Apple which applies a $200-300 markup depending on the product. Reply
NeBlackCat - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkSome of the specifications and comments in this article are puzzling to me. Someone says it doesn't have an IPS display, which the article suggests, but Tom's Hardware says it does.
Also, the USB 3 capability is only relevant if the internal flash and buses are fast enough to make the extra speed beneficial, and the connector can cope. Especially relevant if OTG is supported (which we also aren't told). I'm initially reminded of all the current SOCs which have 'fast' external interfaces like SATA and 100mbit Ethernet that are internally bottlenecked by slow data paths to the CPU/memory like, typically, USB 2. Seeing a USB 2 connector only worries me more - admittedly I don't use USB 3 on any small devices but surely that extra USB 3 speed was partly the result of specifying better connectors. More info needed.
And if it really wants to compete with the best, and for my money, then it really needs wireless charging. No mention of that (as present or absent) either.
A/T says it has BT 4.0, Tom's says 4.1.
Water resistance is not mentioned here, but Tom's shows a (marketing) video including a snippet of it being held under a tap.
Further, I'd have thought the Oppo N1 would be a more relevant point of comparison. Firstly it's also officially Cyanogen (the only other one?). It's also attractively priced, Chinese, and actually does differentiate (rotating camera, rear touchpad, bigger screen). It's certainly the OP One's main rival for my cash. Not some virtually identical but less sexy model.
I'd have thought that the point of the bottom edge speakers would be to direct audio out of the phone, as opposed to directly onto a smothered desk, using the maximum 'cone' to air surface area. Stereo separation is never going to be relevant on a phone, that's what headphones are for. Having had so many phones with crap downward facing speakers this is actually one of my favourite One features.
Tom's advises that white = 16gb model, and black = 64gb model, ie 2 skus. Here it is implied that colour and flash size are independent variables, ie 4 skus. Who is right?
All in all I'm disappointed with the the coverage here (that doesn't happen often) and nonplussed as to why, after all the hype leading to the big release of the details today, there still seems to be so many basic questions remaining unanswered or answered inconsistently or incompletely. Or am I simply too drunk. (<-- rhetorical, and it could also be euphoric).
And to those who say SD support isnt necessary on a 64gb device I observe this: I have had many smartphones over the years. Most ended up destroyed, often involving water. Of those, I have had a 100% data recovery rate from those with SD cards (I just took the card out and it worked) and 0% from those without. It is not just about storage capacity. And don't lecture me about backups- you don't either.
Lastly is anyone else wondering to what extent OnePlus really is a different company to Oppo, from whom their management is apparently derived and who is actually manufacturing the OnePlus One (oooooh that abbreviates so closely to OPPO 😉), a device so similar - as the piece notes - to one of their own. Or is it just me who's cynical enough to wonder if it's just another part of the extreme marketing (rebrand to sexier, less Chinese sounding name) to sell basically an existing, though physically sexed up, device? If it isn't, whoever writes VP's employment contracts at Oppo needs a good hard kick for forgetting the IP protection bit.
PS - OnePlus, this took me a whole evening to type on a crappy mobile device. I wasnt even drunk when I started. You owe me a $1 phone. Unless the last para hit the mark, in which case I expect the boys round tomorrow and have already checked that my medical insurance is up to date. Reply

Here is straight from the horse's mouth
As per the page
64GB Sandstone Black
16GB White
Very ambiguous as to whether the other color is available at the storage option.
Might me a marketing 101 so as to increase the curiosity volume....
I am surprised that HTC has not come up with cudgels yet on the Term "ONE" as it is a very important part of their current marketing...
Company seems to be One Plus.
The phone seems to be named One (Which is where I am surprised no peep yet from HTC)

Mkii - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkPlease OnePlus don't make world hell. Give as a micro sd card option..
The HTC M8 looks awesome but the camera sucks. You got it almost there.. just give us the micro sd card slot.
64GB it is not enough, for people like me that are always on the road and wants to carry their music, videos, movies with it. Don't tell me about the cloud as travelling from country to country in Europe you are lucky if you get some "paid" wi-fi spot.
And if you can't give us the micro sd slot please give us a mature explanation why not.
It was going to be almost "one" of the happiest days of my life.. If it just would have a micro sd card slot. Reply
NeBlackCat - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - linkWould USB OTG and a decent thumb drive or SSD be of any use? Reply
Laststop311 - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkI would of liked to see wireless AC support, USB 3.0 with quick charge support, 128GB micro sdxc support and optical image stabilization with xenon flash and especially a larger camera sensor
The camera is a point of contention for me. The size of the sensor is the most important aspect of a high quality camera. The 1/3.06" sensor leaves some size to be desired at least the size of the lumia 1520's 1/2.5" sensor or better yet the lumia 1020's 1/1.5" sensor or BEST yet the largest sensor ever put into a phone the pureview 808's 1/1.2" sensor.
Super high megapixels sounds great but you sacrifice low light performance for better brightly lit photos. HTC had a good idea with the ultra pixels but they lowered the megapixels too far instead of making the sensor larger. They used a 1/3" sensor (same size as the oneplus).
This phone could of transcended all phones if they only included a 1/1" (or 1 inch) sensor size slightly bigger than the pureview 808 and largest phone sensor ever and instead of cramming tons of megapixels made the pixels mega ultra pixels by going even larger than htc's 2.0um and made them 2.5um light gobbling pixels. They could of had a 11MP 1/1" (or 1 inch) sensor with 2.5um double ultra pixels.
Lower light photos are what is truly important on a camera phone. When you are out with your friends at a restaurant or bar or many indoor locations the ability of low light capture is what decides if your photos are good and not the megapixel count. A 1 inch sensor and 2.5um pixels + a good optical image stabilization system would create the highest clarity best looking low light shots of any phone even the fabled lumia 1020 and pureview 808. And since the sensor is big enough to allow that large of pixels and still have an 11MP resolution when you do have to take those (not as frequent) sunny brightly lit shots you don't take a large downgrade in clarity compared to most phones brightly lit performance like what happened htc's 4MP ultra pixels. The other phones with 13MP, 20MP and even higher counts will perform the best in the sunny outdoors but many of us barely take photos in that situation (i'm usually sleeping during the day)
I don't really care about the few other missing features i mentioned but if the oneplus one would of released with a 1 inch camera cmos sensor with a lower 10-11 megapixel count and larger 2.5um sized "ultra" pixels and a nokia lumia 920 grade optical image stabilization system with a xenon flash in addition to the LED lights. It could of been a photographers dream phone. Sure there would of been a big bump on the back to fit the large sensor and xenon flash power delivery. But it would of been worth the bump when you had the best photos available from ANY phone. I would even have paid an additional 200 dollars so 550 dollars for 64GB if they would of added the more advanced and more expensive camera system.
I think another 200 sounds right for a sensor 3 times as large 1 inch vs 0.333 inch and the larger 6 element lens system that it would require, OIS system vs no OIS system, and the added xenon flash while keeping the LED lights as well.
They could even fork this version of the oneplus one as a different model so people that don't care about photography as much can just get this one cheap for 350. While the people that love the oneplus one but also want the best camera experience to EVER be in a phone can pay 550 which would still be one hell of a bargain for a top specced phone with the best camera ever to appear on a phone.

Laststop311 - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkAnd if possible if we are going to fit a 1 inch sensor in there maybe it is even possible to fit a 4/3" sensor which is a very common compact digital camera sensor with many varied and extremely mature lens setups. Then the sensor would be 4x larger and could step up to 3.0um ultra pixels or just add more to make its brightly lit pictures equal to the best out there without sacrificing the low light. I'd probably rather have the even larger pixels. Reply
dishayu - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkI also read the speakers are from JBL. Sounds REALLY far fetched for a 300$ device. Reply
simonmills - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkIn my opinion KitKat rendered my microSD card useless because I can't make changes to my files using apps like Quickpic and Poweramp any more. I think the inbuilt 64GB will get me and lots of other people away from their microSDs... Reply
KnightWatchman - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkThis looks like a really sweet phone. I like the curved back with a flat in the middle. My HTC One acts like a rocking chair on a table which is kind of annoying but it looks like this One wouldn't do that. The premium finishes available and planned are quite compelling and the Cyanogenmod OS is interesting as well. Having a capacitive menu button and no multitasking button however is an absolute deal breaker. Android has been moving away from the menu button since the introduction of the Action Bar in Honeycomb for gods sake. Absolutely NOBODY should be releasing a KitKat phone with a menu button. I read elsewhere that this phone would offer the choice of using the capacitive buttons or on-screen buttons. If that's true, and the on-screen buttons follow the modern convention (back, home, task-switcher) than I would still consider this phone but otherwise no way. Reply
ffh2303 - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkBased on youtube videos I've seen,you can easily change the settings so that the capacitive buttons don't light up and use the on screen buttons. Reply
errorr - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkI hope the company can continue to do great work but a part of me is worried about the market. Samsung marketing budget with their massive sales commissions has pushed any luxury phones out of the Android space in spite of design.
Otherwise the Android phone space is only differentiated by price. It has become what the PC space became in the 90s, large companies that need massive infrastructures to leverage buying power and efficient supply chains. I thought Lenovo would buy HTC but now with Motorola instead HTC has almost no chance to survive. Unless another company with the money to burn is willing to enter the phone market I don't see how these smaller competitors can do anything long term. I doubt ASUS wants or needs the brand nor do I think anyone but Dell or HP could actually succeed but there is little evidence they even want to get into phones seriously anymore.
Smartphone sales ex. Samsung an Apple is a commodified low-margin business. The nature of PC construction allowed niche boutique builders on a small scale so perhaps this type of phone CAN succeed but I'm doubtful.
The best hope would be to become the Vizio of phones. An extremely small company that has a small team of designers that outsources everything to China and subsists on razor thin margins. Reply
errorr - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkThe killer design feature for me in my Nexus 5 is the aabsolutely spectacular hand control allowed by the slightly cambered edges that make holding it so easy. The few degrees off of a right angle make gripping it a true joy.
Otherwise highest end specs don't matter for me nor do I need it took look more than good. Reply
jersey_J0E - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkAlthough I'm impressed with the specs of this phone & the PRICE

London Fashion Week Backstage: Christopher Kane
Graphics and embellished sorbets.
Like with most collections this week Christopher Kane started with white. Using the perfectly summery shade (if you have a tan, at least), Christopher forgoed a shift dress for more intriguing styles— a leather embroidered jacket and matching skirt, a clean white, tailored suit, a strapless bow-busted evening dress. The colour then followed and it was a sherbet-hued extravaganza.
Bows were a running feature throughout the collection and in addition to using them for a print, Christopher worked them into draping, and accessories — bow-belts accentuated the waist, the focus of his silhouette this season. While the collection was super girly he added in some industrial elements, such as what appeared to be PVC cutout overlay on some of the chiffon dresses as well as electrical tape. These tougher elements were mixed back in with super sweet powder puff dresses that were embellished with jewels and lace applique. It was kind of like prom queen meets a craft corner, and we mean that in a good way.

"Could I Have Lupus?"
We've partnered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health and the Ad Council to get the word out about lupus
Launched in the spring of 2009, the nationwide "Could I Have Lupus?" public service advertisement (PSA) campaign aims to reach young, minority women of childbearing age (18 to 44) who are at greatest risk for lupus. The goal: to raise awareness and offer resources for better understanding the disease, its dangers and its signs and symptoms, and the importance of being seen by a health professional if a person suspects they "could have lupus."
"When we started this campaign, we faced a very limited awareness and knowledge about lupus among women at greatest risk," said Frances E. Ashe-Goins RN, MPH, acting director of the Office of Women's Health. "Through our work with the Ad Council, we are significantly increasing awareness and providing women with the opportunity for an early diagnosis, which will reduce the number of lupus-related deaths."
See the "Could I Have Lupus?" Ad featured in our Rockefeller Center display window for Lupus Awareness Month 2010
Just a year after launching, a national survey by the Ad Council found that 22 percent of women surveyed said they had seen or heard the PSA. Fifteen percent reported having recently heard, seen, or read something about lupus, compared to 10 percent in 2009. And 14 percent of women reported having visited a website for more information about lupus—in contrast to 9 percent before the campaign launch.
"The exposure this campaign is receiving in the media is translating into action," said Peggy Conlon, president and CEO of the Ad Council. "We are looking forward to continuing our work with the Office on Women's Health to develop essential communications tools that will further educate women about lupus and its symptoms."
Created pro bono by Los Angeles-based ad agency Muse Communications, the PSAs feature the stories of real women and conclude with the tagline, "For answers. For support. For hope." and direct women to visit www.couldihavelupus.gov or www.podriayotenerlupus.gov, or to call a toll-free number (1-800-994-9662) to learn more about the symptoms and treatment options for lupus and access local resources.
"Our sincere hope is that the work we have done and will continue to do contributes to the call to action for women of color," says Shelley Yamane, president and chief strategic officer of Muse. "We believe if we can significantly increase awareness to the symptoms of this dreaded disease, we can contribute to the early diagnosis and successful treatment of lupus for thousands of American women," she added.
Per the Ad Council model, the PSAs will run and air in advertising time that is donated by the media. Since its launch in March 2009, the campaign, has received more than $27 million in donated media exposure.

Jurors deliberated for two hours Wednesday before convicting a 33-year-old woman of murder in her goddaughter's fatal beating in 2008.
Today, jurors may begin deliberating how long Shawntrell Dawkins will spend in prison.
Dawkins was convicted of killing Milayna Harris on April 7, 2008. She now faces a prison sentence of five to 99 years.
Dawkins' husband, Nakia Dawkins, who at the time was an Army staff sergeant stationed at Fort Bliss, was convicted in 2010 of injury to a child, but jurors in his trial deadlocked on a sentence.
Shawntrell Dawkins, who has been jailed since her arrest, showed no emotion as state District Judge Sam Medrano Jr. read the jury's verdict.
Shawntrell Dawkins will be given credit for time served while awaiting trial.
Nakia Dawkins is also jailed and awaiting sentencing.
After the verdict was read Wednesday, Milayna's mother, Sheree Harris, smiled briefly and hugged Assistant District Attorney Penny Hamilton.
A gag order on people involved in the case will remain until after Shawntrell Dawkins is sentenced.
The jury of seven men and five women heard closing arguments beginning soon after noon Wednesday.
During closing arguments, defense attorney Stuart Leeds argued the state did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was Shawntrell Dawkins who struck the blow that killed Milayna.
An autopsy showed Milayna suffered 10 blows to her head and had numerous bruises throughout her body.
Defense attorneys also argued that it was Nakia Dawkins who began abusing Milayna after he returned home from a deployment in February 2008. Nakia and Shawntrell Dawkins had been caring for Milayna and her 4-year-old brother since late 2007 after their father, Army Sgt. Earl Harris III, was deployed to Iraq, and Sheree Harris, also an Army soldier, was deployed to Germany.
In her videotaped statement to police, Shawntrell Dawkins told homicide detectives Milayna fell down the stairs of the Dawkins' apartment at 7900 Viscount on the day she died.
After jurors viewed Milayna's autopsy photos Tuesday, one juror wept loudly as she exited the courtroom during a break, prompting Leeds to ask Medrano for a mistrial. Medrano denied the request.
"Don't be furious; just follow the law," Leeds told jurors during his closing argument. "You're not here to be a voice for Milayna. You are here to be jurors."
Defense attorney Victor Parra called the state's decision to show jurors the graphic autopsy photos a "desperate attempt" to inflame them.
Hamilton argued during her closing argument that jurors needed to see the photos to have the evidence needed to convict Shawntrell Dawkins of killing Milayna.
"You needed to understand what injuries that child suffered," Hamilton told jurors. "Murder is not pretty. Capital murder is not pretty. And dead children are the worst of all."
The sentencing phase of Shawntrell Dawkins' trial will begin at 8:30 a.m. today in the 409th District Court.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/10/2012 (1781 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Setbacks and uncertain futures are not new to Churchill. Adversity, it could be said, is its middle name, and has been since 1782, when Fort Prince of Wales, built to protect the territory, surrendered to the French without a shot being fired.
Some of that adversity is the result of bad luck, but much of it can be traced to northern boosterism, a penchant to overstate and then under-deliver the "vision" of Churchill as the "Gateway to the North."
The Churchill train station is an early example. The largest of its kind in Western Canada, it was built big in 1931 in anticipation of wildly optimistic projections of passenger volumes that never materialized.
Paradoxically -- paradox plays a big part in the story of Churchill -- overselling has not been all bad.
The train station, again, is a good example. In the early days it provided the port city -- the only port in Arctic Canada -- with a fine building for public events that otherwise would not have been available.
Then, 10 years ago, it was taken over by Parks Canada and renovated so that today it provides a first-rate museum attraction, no matter that its original purpose was never realized.
But the biggest unintended consequences were realized more recently. Churchill was at its zenith between the Second World War and the late '60s, when the population peaked at about 6,500. Then the U.S. and Canadian military began to withdraw and an associated rocket range flamed out.
To prevent an apparent disaster, the federal and provincial governments came up with a plan to replace the services and amenities the military presence had provided.
The plan included sewer and water services, about 350 new housing units and -- most spectacularly -- a 220,000-square-foot Town Centre with a view of waves crashing mightily on coastal rock.
The plan, as ever, proved overly optimistic -- it anticipated that Churchill would grow back despite the loss of thousands of military personnel and would have a population of 3,500 by 1987, according to Lorraine Brandson, curator of the Eskimo Museum and author of Churchill, Hudson Bay.
Instead, the population continued to shrink and stands at perhaps 900 today.
But the overbuilt Town Centre, like the railway station, remains -- an incredible amenity in such a small community, housing as it does the school, the library, a 250-seat theatre, a gymnasium, a bowling alley, a swimming pool, an indoor playground, the town administration and a 30-bed health-care centre that is both the envy and health-care hub of the Kivalliq region of Nunavut.
When the overbuilt centre proved too big for such a small population, the province was forced to take over its operating costs.
And that new housing? It's owned by the Manitoba Housing and Renewal Corporation. What was to be the start of a new, northern prefab housing industry turned out to be the end of it.
Today, those first government-built houses constitute 70 per cent of housing stock in Churchill, all of it available at no more than 27 per cent of income, in accordance with MHRC regulations.
So, for the most part, housing is a good deal in Churchill, one that's being made better by a government program to renovate all of the MHRC stock.
Even the polar bears didn't start out as silk purses. Forty years ago, they were a menace; the risk of polar bear attacks was a blight on Churchill's reputation. A control program had to be developed to keep the town safe. It included a "jail" for problem bears that continues to operate today.
About the same time that bear attacks were problematic, however, a local businessman devised the prototype of the tundra buggy, which made it safe for people to view polar bears. The phenomenon caught the attention of National Geographic, which came to Churchill and introduced the world to its polar bear capital. And that sparked the annual migration of tourists that continues today.

Halloween is the scariest time of year for recovering candy addicts like me. Places that are ordinarily candy-free are suddenly filled with tiny, fun-sized minefields, and all too often I'll be on the opposite side of a colleague's desk or perched on a bar stool at happy hour, mentally rationalizing how just one more tiny Snickers here or adorable box of Junior Mints there won't send me into a full-on sugar coma.
To curb my urge to graze on cheap and plentiful chocolate in the month of October, I look forward to one full-on indulgence each Halloween. This Halloween-appropriate pie embodies my favorites, chocolate and peanut butter, but unlike Reese's, I get to choose the chocolate, adjust the salt, and add some crunch. The crust is made from dark chocolate wafer cookie crumbs, which hold a super-rich and smooth peanut butter filling. Top it with a ganache made with my favorite chocolate (Valrhona, 66% cacao), and I have the perfect treat that requires very few tricks to make.

England were on course for only their second victory of the winter, in their 15th international match, after debutant Stephen Parry helped to bowl West Indies out for 159.
The loss of two wickets for one run made the tourists' task that much harder, on an awkward strip being used for the second time in three days at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
But they were still well-placed on 55 for two after 15 overs of their reply as they seek to level this one-day series at 1-1 with one to play.
Moeen Ali picked out deep square-leg with an aerial pull at Dwayne Bravo, and Luke Wright missed three successive balls from Sunil Narine - the last of which, a doosra, bowled him off-stump for a duck.
Danger man Narine had only five overs of his entitlement left, however - and if England could keep him at bay, this match was surely theirs to lose.
For West Indies, Lendl Simmons (70) had hit his second successive half-century and shared 50 stands for the fourth and fifth wickets.
But after he was sixth out, the second of six wickets for 26 runs, no one could deliver a big finish for the Windies - as Bravo and Darren Sammy did in the series opener.
England used eight different bowlers after Stuart Broad surprisingly chose to put the hosts in again.
None was deployed to better effect than Parry (three for 32), the only one to bowl his full 10 overs, but it was England's part-time spinners who once more put West Indies in early trouble.
As on Friday, Joe Root fared well with the new ball - and for good measure this time, first-change Moeen also prospered.
Root, operating exclusively round the wicket, had Dwayne Smith chipping a catch straight into his most obvious trap - the man stationed at short midwicket.
Kirk Edwards was dropped at leg-slip on nought second ball, by Tim Bresnan, but was to fall to Root anyway for single-figures when he edged to slip, where James Tredwell took a very good one-handed catch away to his right.
That was a second wicket in three balls, because at the other end opener Kieran Powell had chipped a return catch back to Moeen - also from round the wicket - and the hosts stumbled to 30 for three.
There was also bounce and sideways movement off the pitch for Broad, who nonetheless restricted himself to just two initial overs.
England had two frontline spin options here, Tredwell and Parry.
But it was not until Tredwell bowled the 11th over, a maiden to Darren Bravo, that Broad called on his specialists.
West Indies' first Bravo never got out of first gear, apart from a six over long-on off Tredwell, before he chopped the returning Broad on to his stumps.
But Dwayne was threatening another rearguard, only to be given out controversially - much to the obvious chagrin of West Indies coach Ottis Gibson, judged on his reaction on the players' balcony.
It appeared Jos Buttler had fumbled a straightforward stumping chance down the leg side off Tredwell, but third umpire Marais Erasmus saw enough evidence to suggest the ball brushed the stumps - with Bravo well out of his ground - before the wicketkeeper also broke them with his gloves.
In powerplay, Parry's maiden international wicket was a big one.
It was skilfully achieved too, Simmons having just hit the slow left-armer for a huge six over midwicket and then trying a repeat dose next ball - a flatter delivery - but caught well inside the rope.
Denesh Ramdin played on to Bresnan, and then Parry had Sammy pulling to the juggling Broad at midwicket and Narine authentically stumped.
Ravi Rampaul holed out off Tredwell at long-on, to be last out with almost six overs unused.

UP to 100 people could lose their jobs at Somerset County Council as part of cost-cutting measures.
The authority today (January 17) announced proposals to save £18million, which could also see youth and community services reduced by £936,000.
Among the proposals are:
- Closure of two recycling sites - but with some of the savings being used to invest in increasing opening times at major sites, saving £174,000.
- Reducing sheltered housing provision by £500,000 over two years.
- Removing management costs for AONBs saving £40,000 next year.
- Cutting staff by up to 100.
The council is also planning a shake-up of children's centres, as well as bringing in self service systems in libraries in the hope of saving a combined £2million.
However the budget, which will be decided on February 19, proposes more than £160m will be spent looking after vulnerable adults.
Some £40million is identified for spending on social services for children including protecting children from abuse, adoption and fostering services.
Taxpayers won't be hit with an increase as the council aims to freeze its share of council tax for the fifth year in a row.
John Osman, leader of Somerset County Council, said: "We have to make tough choices, but we are the same as any careful household. We have a reduced income, increased bills, something has to give.
"It is not something we want to do, but it is something we have to do – just as every council in the country is now doing.
"We are taking people's views into account where we can – that's why our council tax is frozen, but these are tough financial times."
Cabinet member David Huxtable echoed Cllr Osman's comments.
He said: "It is not something we want to do, but it is something we have to do – just as every council in the country is now doing.
"We can only highlight a few of the areas where we have worked hard to cut costs but protect frontline services as far as we can.
"I understand that people want their services to remain the same, but we face such financial challenges that we have to reduce or even stop some of what we do.
"I do want to stress that while we have made savings to balance our budget, we are still spending more than £300m on the important frontline services that our residents need."

MOPA Staff Blogs
Brian Smith at MOPA
With Pictures of the Year International in our galleries, MOPA has been focused on photojournalism lately. We had a great workshop by Sam Hodgson and more recently a presentation by Pulitzer Prize winner, Brian Smith. I wanted to share some of what Brian shared back on August 1st. I certainly won't do him justice, as he is a very charismatic speaker and his career has been a rather dynamic one.
Collections Management: The Internship
This week, MOPA's Curatorial Department is pleased to present a guest blog from our summer intern, Diana Chavez. Read on to learn more about her adventures in Collections Management.

From Video Camp to Film School (Part 3 of 3)
My third and final experience in the MOPA film camp came the following summer, and the theme of this camp was creating a music video. We spent the first day getting to know each other and trying to split up into teams. Day two was spent playing each other music and trying to decide what songs to use. It was a long process narrowing it down, with everyone clinging to their favorites. But after rounds of voting we arrived at our two songs.
From Video Camp to Film School (pt. 2 of 3)
Months later, we noticed MOPA was having another video camp. This time, it was taking place over weekends in October, and the theme was making a scary movie. I knew immediately I needed to be part of it. Like the first camp, I quickly broke out my shell and felt right at home as we pitched ideas. We watched clips from horror movies, wrote scenes, and played with Halloween props.
From Video Camp to Film School
Hello, my name is David and I'm a digital media intern here at MOPA. I've been asked to write this blog as I am in a unique position here, in that I am (to my knowledge) the only team member who was also a participant in MOPA's video camps when I was younger.
The Power to Make Us Think
Last Thursday I attended the screening of Sam Branson's documentary Breaking The Taboo, about the failure of the war on drugs in the world. The documentary takes the stand that decriminalization of drugs is important and that the USA should follow the steps of countries such as Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Holland in this matter.

Fayman Archive: Sorting Things Out
Even as a kid, I loved to sort things. I know, it seems a strange thing to enjoy, but I lived for sorting. I always found it to be deeply satisfying to see a perfectly organized group of things, whether they were toys, books, or the clothes in my closet. Simply put, organization is one of the most essential elements of collections management for all museums.

A recent investigation into cross-network UK mobile phone call charges by Ofcom looks set to revolutionise the way mobile phone carriers charge mobile phone consumers for calls between networks. Almost the entirety of the UK mobile network industry is keen to maintain a free market for call charges, yet Ofcom is seeking to implement a cap from 4p to a maximum of 2p per call.
The result of this price cap could cost the mobile industry upwards of £1 billion, potentially reducing the prospect of future financial investment in the industry. At present the likes of BT get hit by a staggering £750 million phone bill each year connecting landlines to mobile phone networks. A cap would appease this problem, but it would create issues for mobile phone carriers who would likely have to bump up pay-monthly subscriptions and consider scrapping pre-pay methods as a result.
