Ah, the lovely casting phase. It's the time of the production where you're forced to wipe the character's physical image you so effortlessly created within your imagination and replace it with an actual person. However, sifting through the countless headshots, it's not just an image we're casting. It's a feeling. An embodiment of everything you'd so hope to illustrate on screen.
This past weekend, our Casting Director (Dylan Jury) put together an amazing casting session consisting of over thirty boys, accompanying parents, and a bottle of Advil. In the span of three hours, we auditioned for the part of Max and couldn't be happier with the options. Sure, a few boys stood out, but I felt fortunate to have as many choices as we did.
As far as the casting process goes, I'm still a bit shaky. Perhaps it's because I've yet to work with child actors, but the direction and vocabulary used for these kids is completely different than you would with adults. I learned the more succinct and visual I was, the better they'd understand. Not for nothing, but the special features for Close Encounters were more than just an entertaining passing glance…
What happens now? We have a handful of boys left to see until we make a final decision, and then, with much excitement and anticipation, onto Loraine.

I am in love with "My Tropical Kitchen" purse. I also am deeply dissatisfied however, that there is no mention of Jade Moon's name on the product. Her work is more than worthy of her name to be associated with her beautiful products. People constantly mention that my purse is beautiful as I display it on a counter at a point of sale. I have to tell them whose work it is. Everyone recognizes her name. Jade Moon deserves recognition for her talent as an artist; her name should be on the product. PX Pixels is meaningless to me. I wish it wasn't sewed in to the seam. I am so proud of my "My Tropical Kitchen" purse. I bought it for myself on my 80th birthday. I would be thrilled if Jade could autograph it for me. I am sorry I have no means to take or send a photo.
Born in Slovakia Lives and works in Munich in Germany Painting is one of my preferred means of expression. I paint typically in the tradition of van Gogh to Kokoschka with occasional experiments. Currently I am mostly interested in capturing animal movement and portrait studies. Since I admire and appreciate the beauty of the nature, I try to capture the most impressive sights on my photographs, which are often also the basis for my paintings. Opportunities for new exhibition(s) are greatly appreciated. For more information please visit also my blog at http://valerieornstein.wordpress.com/.

Heidi found Hailee's knee pads in the toy box and wanted them on. Then she found Bob's wrench and started pretending she was fixing things with it. So very precious!
Here is Hailee in her tent... you can't see it but she has a screw driver.
Here are my 2 sweet girls working on their jeep.
So cute!
This is Bob's new hobby... Biking. This was Bob's dad's bike from back in the day ('85... I think). He really has been enjoying this sport. He got new tubes and tires yesterday and as you can tell he is very proud of his new hobby. I am hoping he will be joining our friend, Mark on a ride tomorrow.
Hard at work! Bob was working on his bike a bit and it was so hot he had sweat dripping down his forehead and then rolling down his eyelashes. Before I could get a picture of that he wiped his face... to bad right? Anywho... I hope you all are having a wonderful Memorial weekend and filling it with family fun. That is what we are doing. :o)

City council members are struggling with ideas to make up for a $5 million budget shortfall this year while maintaining their commitment not to raise taxes. Property taxes in Greensboro have been level for three years in a row, leaving the current council with tough choices in an effort to maintain infrastructure requirements while expanding much needed programs and services for the community and economic development.
"We're trying to not cut crucial services," said Mayor Pro Tem Yvonne Johnson. "We've pretty much been successful at that, but it's been a tough year."
"The main priorities were to continue maintaining and improving our infrastructure," said Councilman Zack Matheny.
Johnson said that City Council has been firmly against tax rate increase above the current 63 cents per $100. North Carolina requires that all municipalities adopt a budget by July 1, the starting date of the new fiscal year. The goal of the budget is to balance estimated revenues with outstanding fund balances and appropriations.
The budget is developed in agreement with Management, Accountability, Performance (MAP) workplans:
City Council determines the strategic priorities for the upcoming year then the City Manager's office makes recommendations and provides guidance.
City departments submitted funding requests for the year to the Budget and Evaluation Department by February. The Budget and Evaluation Department reviewed these request while preparing to recommend a budget.
In April, the Budget and Evaluation department presented a preliminary recommended budget to the City Manager's Office. The City Manager then reviewed and revised the budget before submitting the recommended budget to City Council on May 20 th .
During the next phase of the budget process, public work sessions are then held in May and June for Councilmembers to deliberate the budget before presenting it at a public hearing.
Public hearings on the budget are required before it can be adopted The adopted budget for the current fiscal year accounts for $459 million in total expenditures. Personnel costs account for the largest part of the current budget at $204 million.
About 53% of the current budget has been appropriated for the cost of maintaining and improving infrastructures. The Water Resources Fund, Field Operations, the War Memorial Coliseum Complex Fund and Greensboro Transit Authority top the list of the most expensive items included under infrastructure costs. Infrastructure demands are expected to dominate a large portion of the budget once again this year.
Public Safety costs account for 27% of the budget with personnel costs for the Police and Fire Departments taking up most of the funds.
The net revenue for the upcoming fiscal year is estimated to be around $475,000,000 with around $175,000,00 coming from user fees, charges and licenses. An estimated $165,000,000 will come from property tax.
According to the North Carolina Department of Revenue, in 2012 the property tax rate for Guilford County was 0.78. Nearby Counties of Alamance and Forsyth had rates of 0.52 and 0.64 respectively.
Planning Greensboro's budget can be a difficult balancing act of trying to limit tax and fee increases without being forced to cut services.
Fee increases are likely. Steven Drew, the Executive Director of the Water Resources Department, informed City Council during a work session earlier this month that water rates would need to be increased in order to repair aging infrastructure. Drew reviewed the factors that could increase monthly water bills by $1.48 a month for inside customers and $6.70 for outside customers Johnson said, "We're having to replace so many of our pipes because they're old."
Even with the proposed rate increases Greensboro would still have considerably low water rates compared to other cities in the state.
Mayor Nancy Vaughan explained that a rise in water fees would not directly affect the budget. "The water is separate from a budget as an enterprise fund," said Mayor Vaughan.
City Council has stressed that jobs and economic development are also top priorities. The Economic Development Fund is expected to cost $1,327,000 during the next fiscal year.
Mayor Vaughan is also focusing on the city's homeless population. "The priority that I had introduced and discussed with the City Manager was to make sure that our homeless providers received funding at a higher level," said Mayor Vaughan.
Meanwhile, percentage cuts have been proposed for almost all of the city's departments.
Matheny believes City Council could be more rigorous when reviewing budget items. "I'm not sure that we're really turning over every stone," said Matheny. "I'm not quite sure we're where we need to be in terms of efficiency."
Community budget meetings were held in all five districts this year with councilmembers presenting information about some of the factors affecting the budget this year.
Johnson is also the chair of a Participatory Budget subcommittee that was created this year to discuss the possibility of letting residents of each district vote on how to use funds. Johnson hopes that if participatory budgeting were to be adopted it would encourage community participation in the adoption process of future budgets.
The City Manager presented the recommended budget to City Council on Tuesday, May 20 th . Councilmembers are expected to review the budget during work sessions on May 27 th and June 12 th . A Public Hearing will be held on June 3 rd before the scheduled adoption of the budget on June 17 th . !

You contradict yourself Sir,
On the one hand you state the intended purpose is to "return US to the Crown", then state that by "The Crown" you mean British banking houses, (which aren't British owned!) not British monarchy and then state "America is a British Colony".
So what is it?
America is a British colony governed by Britain and her Royal Family
America is a "Crown" colony whose policies are determined by a group of bankers and financiers, some of whom have Headquarters in London, but other cities as well, mostly outside of Britain, who for generations have used their wealth and influence to manipulate world events for their own purposes.
I assure you I can, and do, read. Just because I disagree with you does not mean I am illiterate, why would you think that unless you are so narrow minded in your opinions that you fail to recognise that people can have different opinions, because at the end of the day, it can only be an opinion as we are not worthy enough to be privy to evidence that would enable us to present an arguement based solely on facts.
I say grow up, because you behave so childishly when faced with an opinion that contradicts your's, a childish trait if ever I have seen one.
[edit on 29-8-2007 by Freeborn]
Jonathan Williams recorded in his book, Legions of Satan, 1781, that Cornwallis revealed to Washington during his surrender that "a holy war will now begin on America, and when it is ended America will be supposedly the citadel of freedom, but her millions will unknowingly be loyal subjects to the Crown."...."in less than two hundred years the whole nation will be working for divine world government. That government that they believe to be divine will be the British Empire."
"Not only the financial power, but also the legal power, has remained seated in Britain. The Washington Post commented on June 18, 1983 that after the American Revolution, all the old laws remained in effect in the new United States: Some of these laws of "English common law" dated back to 1278, long before America was discovered."-- Eustace Mullins
The Constitution was the formative document for a new Crown colony, placed in the united States on a piece of ground ceded by Virginia. This gives the United States the same status under International Law as Canada. This was done by men who had no desire to see the "colonies" separate from Britain. Men who deeply felt the need for a "king".-- David Gould
Congressional Record, January 8, 1934 Congressman McFadden: "Why should the United States be buying gold and paying $35 an ounce for it? Why Should the United States be making Great Britain a present of $14.33 an ounce on the hundreds of millions of dollars of British gold that is being shipped to the United States through this process be favoring four London gold brokers? Why should the United States set a price of $35 and pay Great Britain an increase of $14.33 on ever ounce of gold? This is interesting when you consider that three fourths of all the gold produced in the world is produced in the British Empire. Did we do this because Great Britain demanded it? Is it possible that this $14.33 profit to Great Britain on every ounce of gold shipped into the United States is for settlement of a debt that the United States owes to Great Britain?"

I do realize that for the government-schooled crowd, this is hard to grasp, but it's really nothing new. Fifteen years ago this would have been unheard of, but today it is pretty much old news. Only a hand full of the quite young and the very old have not heard about it. Everyone in the middle has heard about it.
You may be oblivious to it, you may not like it, and it may seem crazy, but it's reality.

"Through the Federal Reserve Board over a billion of American money has been pumped into Germany. You have all heard of the spending that has taken place in Germany..."--Congressman Louis T.McFadden (D-PA) who served twelve years as Chairman of the Committee on Banking and Currency.(1935)
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -- President Woodrow Wilson, discussing his role in the passage of the Federal Reserve Act
The following information comes from the on-line book titled The United States is Still a British Colony, which can be found at 'www.civil-liberties.com'.
"As further evidence, not that any is needed, a percentage of taxes that are paid are to enrich the king/queen of England. For those that study Title 26 you will recognize IMF, which means Individual Master File, all taxpayers have one. To read one you have to be able to break their codes using file 6209, which is about 467 pages. On your IMF you will find a blocking series, which tells you what type of tax you are paying. You will probably find a 300-399 blocking series, which 6209 says is reserved. You then look up the BMF 300-399, which is the Business Master File in 6209. You would have seen prior to 1991, this was U.S.-U.K. Tax Claims, non-refile DLN. Meaning everyone is considered a business and involved in commerce and you are being held liable for a tax via a treaty between the U.S. and the U.K., payable to the U.K.. The form that is supposed to be used for this is form 8288, FIRPTA - Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Account, you won't find many people using this form, just the 1040 form. The 8288 form can be found in the Law Enforcement Manual of the IRS, chapter 3. If you will check the OMB's paper - Office of Management and Budget, in the Department of Treasury, List of Active Information Collections, approved Under Paperwork Reduction Act, you will find this form under OMB number 1545-0902, which says U.S. withholding tax-return for dispositions by foreign persons of U.S. real property interests-statement of withholding on dispositions, by foreign persons, of U.S. Form #8288 #8288a.
These codes have since been changed to read as follows; IMF 300-309, Barred Assessment, CP 55 generated valid for MFT-30, which is the code for 1040 form. IMF 310-399 reserved, the BMF 300-309 reads the same as IMF 300-309. BMF 390-399 reads U.S./U.K. Tax Treaty Claims. The long and short of it is nothing changed, the government just made it plainer, the 1040 is the payment of a foreign tax to the king/queen of England. We have been in financial servitude since the Treaty of 1783."

You state you have "addressed every single one of my concerns".
No you haven't. You have offered your opinion, nothing more, nothing less and you certainly haven't provided any undeniable proof.
You have repeatedly quoted The Avalon Project, Yale Law Society website.
How credible is this? Is this THE definitive source for historical analysis of British, American and World Events.
I suspect not, but then again that is just my opinion, same as in your opinion, it maybe, but i'll back my hunch on this one.
You go into some depth with your interpretation of events surrounding The Magna Carta then leap forward to 1783.
I think you have conveniently forgot about a minor event in British, in fact world events, when ignoring that little known British monarch Henry V111 and The Reformation.
I think that a good read of these may help
Allthough, by your own admission you doubt the validity of these sites mainly because they are mainstream and help perpetuate the accepted version of events
Vietnam was not a UK war.
Grenada, well you were fighting a major super power there weren't you. Didn't realise you needed UK help with that one.
Cold War; US policy was to ensure that if any conflict was to occur that it would happen on European soil with massive European casualties and minimal US casualties.
As previously stated, something that you have not mentioned, (so by extension do I then assume that it is you who have not read all the previous posts? or merely that you have selective memory, I don't know),
that it would not not suprise me if there was a group of families / societies / organisations etc who for generations have tried to use their wealth and power to influence world events to further their own agenda's and that these people transcend nationalities.
If this is so then I would be amazed if they haven't at times tried to reconcile, if they felt they had to, the US back in to the fold as it were.
But...is there definate evidence that undeniably proves this, well I'm afraid the answer is no.
And, is America a BRITISH Colony, then no as well.
Is it something that it pretends not to be, possibly.

I have read all the thread, you sir, just confirm your arrogance and ignorance by assuming anything other.
You then re-inforce that by failing to understand that I fully understand every attempt you have made to convince me of the validity of your claims, it's simply that I do not agree with your interpretation of world events.
You again contradict yourself by agreeing that the "controlling" financial institutions are not solely British.
If you are using this as evidence of Britain controlling America you in fact prove yourself wrong.
I suggest YOU read the whole thread and consider the opinions of others.
I also suggest you consider everything that is said rather than cherry picking the items you disagree with and then posting insulting replies.
Your suggestion that because you are the OP that you are most learned is well, quite frankly, conceited and ignorant.
You are an intolerant, ill mannered individual whose childish responses to any different opinion suggests deeper routed problems.
I suggest you seek professional help, or as posted before, grow up and accept that people simply have a different opinion or viewpoint, that does not make them stupid.
If you are using this as evidence of Britain controlling America you in fact prove yourself wrong.

10 Years ago – 2002
I stayed off-road this month running two trail races and a Cross-Country race. I started off the month in Topsfield running the Bradley Palmer XC challenge. I ended up finishing 6th in a field of 54 running 23:48 for 4.7 miles. The next weekend I ran the Dogtown trail race. This one was pretty unusual the "ribbons" they used to mark the course were actual ribbons tied to trees. Teammate Richard Bolt took the win and the cool Dogtown painting (that he still displays in his home), besting a field of 40 runners. I rolled into the finish in 2nd place running 17:32 for the 3.25 mile course. I went back to
a week later and took on the Ravenswood I beat a very small field of only 33 runners covering the 3.9 mile course (which I thought was more like 4.5 miles) in 25:26. Gloucester
5 Years ago – 2007
Seems like yesterday! I raced four times during the month, all different disciplines: Mountain, Trail, XC, and Road. I also covered distances from 1 mile to the marathon. The first race was the toughest mile race in
New England (maybe anywhere?). The "open" course (any route you choose) up included 2,000' of vertical. I mapped out my route and it came out to somewhere between 1.5 and 1.7 miles. I won in a course record of 23:51. While standing on the starting line I asked the winner from 2006 what route he took when he won. He had an answer that still makes me laugh…"follow me and find out". Stark Mountain
The next day I toed the line at the Wayland XC race, a tough 5k over rolling hills and through a sand pit around
. I took 25th (and 4th master) in 18:03. A week later I was on the trails of Wayland High School getting my ass kicked at the Ravenswood trail race. I finished the 4.5 mile course in 28:54 taking 6th overall and 2nd master. My final race of the month was the USATF NE marathon championships at the Gloucester Cape Cod marathon. I ran a conservative pace and actually negative split (ran faster the second half) running a 2:49:25 for 26th place (and 8th in the 40-49). This still stands as my best time as a 40+ runner. Maybe I can do something about that next year J

Monte became a part of our family on December 3rd of this year and now it's time for him to go back to live with Santa to help him get ready for next year. Is it weird that I'm the one that's sad and maybe even a little teary eyed about him leaving us? Yes, okay I realize that it is.
Monte was a really good guest. We loved waking up every morning to see where he would be for the day.
Every time after Oliver would find him, he would say "Silly Monte!"
I loved that.
On the last day, Oliver found him with a little surprise.
A note.
And Oliver was so excited about it...as you can see.
We opened up the letter to find that this was Montes last day with us until the next holiday season and he was saying goodbye.
And he wanted to leave a small gift for his favorite little boy.
When Oliver saw that is was a superhero blanket, he was beyond excited. We opened it up and he flew down the hallway hollering that this was his new superhero cape.
Thank you Monte.
We will miss you too and we already can't wait to have you stay with us again.

The new OnePlus 5T is an excellent smartphone, but one thing about it stands out from the rest: its $500 price.
That amount is near the top of what OnePlus has charged for its past smartphones. But it's hundreds of dollars cheaper than other top-of-the-line devices – many of the latest flagship smartphones, including Apple's iPhone X and Samsung's Galaxy Note 8, cost more than $900.
Given that, you could be forgiven for thinking OnePlus made some serious compromises with the 5T to get its price so comparatively low. But you would be wrong.
While the 5T has some trade-offs, they aren't meaningful. And I'd recommend the new phone even if it were to cost as much as its rivals.
Check out the OnePlus 5T:
The OnePlus 5T looks great.
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
Designwise, the 5T doesn't stand out. But that's a good thing.
It has most of the latest features of other contemporary phones, including narrow top and bottom borders around its screen, as well as a metallic back. Those elements make for a minimalistic, almost generic design. It's functional, not flashy.
What is noticeable, though, is the thinness of the 5T compared with that of other top Android phones. On paper, the 7.3-mm-thick 5T may not seem that much thinner than Google's 7.9-mm Pixel 2 XL or Samsung's 8.6-mm Galaxy Note 8. But those fractions of a millimeter make a difference.
That thinness combined with its light weight make the 5T supremely comfortable to use.
The 5T's screen is great, especially considering the device's price.
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
The 5T's display is on par with those of other top Android smartphones. It has a 6-inch Amoled screen with an 18:9 aspect ratio. That's more elongated than the typical smartphone screen from as recently as last year.
Some spec-scrutinizers may think the 1080p resolution on the 5T's display doesn't match up well with the 1440p resolution offered on most other flagship Android devices. But you'd be hard-pressed to notice much of a difference when comparing the phones side by side.
The 5T's display is beautiful. Its vibrant colors and brightness and contrast levels equal those of displays of phones that cost $350 more.
The phone's performance is stellar.
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
Hiding underneath the 5T's minimalist outer shell are specs that are as good or better than those of most of its rivals.
Like many of its newest competitors, the 5T includes Qualcomm's powerful Snapdragon 835 processor. But it has more memory than most of its rivals. Most top Android smartphones come with 4 GB of RAM, whereas the base model of the 5T has 6 GB and the top model has a whopping 8 GB.
Typically, the more memory a device has, the faster it can switch among apps. And the 5T's extra RAM may make a difference if you customize your phone with software that offers a greater range of Android design and setting options.
I've been testing the higher-end model of the 5T, which costs $560 and comes with 128 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM. I haven't noticed much of a difference in performance from the Pixel 2 XL, which has the same processor and half the RAM.
But I'm not going to complain about the extra memory, especially given that it's included in the 5T's sub-$600 price.
The 5T has a facial-recognition feature — and it works almost too well.
The 5T is the first OnePlus phone that comes with facial-recognition technology. The company nailed the feature, but it works almost too well.
When I press the power button on the 5T, the phone immediately unlocks and goes straight to my home screen. There's no indication that it's trying to recognize my face first. It works so quickly that it's almost disconcerting. It feels as if the feature isn't even turned on, and I don't have any security measures in place.
In fact, I hardly ever see the lock screen on the 5T or the notifications it displays there. The only time is when I'm in a very dark area and the phone has trouble recognizing my face.
Because the feature works so well, I had to change how I check notifications. At first, I started angling the 5T away from my face so it wouldn't unlock while I was going through my lock-screen alerts. Realizing that was ridiculous, I now check my alerts by pulling down the Android notifications shade after my phone unlocks and view them there.
But as good as the 5T's facial-recognition system is, it's not on par with Face ID on Apple's iPhone X. The 5T didn't recognize my face when I was wearing sunglasses, for example. That made me doubt whether it would recognize users when they got haircuts or were wearing makeup.
Still, the 5T has a big advantage over the iPhone X: It also has a fingerprint sensor. So if its facial-recognition system doesn't work for you, you can always use your fingers to unlock it.
But the phone's fingerprint sensor can be finicky and frustrating to use.
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
To make room for the 5T's larger display and offer thinner borders around its screen, OnePlus moved the fingerprint sensor to the phone's back. Unfortunately, that makes it hard to use.
The sensor is flush with the case, so it can be difficult to find without looking at it. And it's not very forgiving – it wouldn't unlock my phone unless I put my finger squarely on it right from the start. It didn't like it when, while blindly hunting for the sensor, I slid my finger over to the middle after discovering its edge.
In this way, the 5T's fingerprint sensor is like the Samsung's Galaxy S8's.
By contrast, the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel 2 XL is a lot less picky, and those on previous OnePlus phones were easier to use because they were on the front.
Overall, it's much easier to unlock the 5T with the facial-recognition system.
It has a very good camera.
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
The 5T's camera compares favorably with those of other top phones.
The pictures it makes are ike those of Apple's iPhones, and the color palette is warmer than that of Google's Pixel 2 devices, which yield photos with more neutral tones.
Its HDR – high dynamic range – feature works very well, bringing out great details in the shadows of brightly lit shots.
The 5T has a 16-megapixel primary camera. That's superior to the cameras in other top Android phones, which typically are 12-megapixel shooters. But I didn't see much better sharpness from those additional pixels.
Like many other recent phones, the 5T has a dual-lens camera system. Its secondary camera is a 20-megapixel one. Instead of using the secondary camera to offer an optical zoom feature, as the latest iPhones do and the previous OnePlus phone did, the 5T uses it to improve photos shot in dim light.
The result is pretty good. Low-light photos shot with the 5T are sharper than those taken with previous OnePlus phones. However, both Samsung's Galaxy phones and the Pixel 2 do a better job in low light.

And its portrait mode works well, too.
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
The 5T's portrait mode, which blurs out the background of a subject, is very good.
Like the Pixel 2's portrait mode – but unlike that of the latest iPhones – the 5T's does a great job of keeping the entire subject in focus.
The 5T's fast-charging feature works better than those of its rivals.
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
OnePlus' Dash Charge fast-charging feature should be the standard for all smartphones. It essentially keeps all the heat-emitting charging elements in the adapter, so the phone doesn't get hot when it's plugged in.
In addition to keeping the 5T cool, the feature allows it to charge faster than rival devices. Other Android phones with fast charging will slow down when they get hot to prevent overheating.
Additionally, I have no complaints about the 5T's battery life.
And look! A headphone jack in 2017!
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
For less than $600, something's got to give …
So what's the catch?
There are at least two notable features you'll find on other top devices but not on the 5T: wireless charging and water-resistance.
For me, the lack of those features isn't a deal-breaker, especially because of the 5T's relatively low price. Wireless charging is slow and is more of an extra convenience than a necessity. Fast charging – via OnePlus' Dash Charge system – is much more important.
And while the 5T isn't officially water-resistant, OnePlus says it can handle light sprinkles. It might be able to withstand a lot more – some courageous OnePlus owners have posted YouTube videos showing that previous OnePlus phones can handle water pretty darn well.
But because of the low price, I'm willing to make an exception for the 5T.
- source
- Antonio Villas-Boas/Business Insider
For me, the two features an Android phone needs to have are an unmodified version of the operating system and the ability to get Android updates as soon as Google releases them.
Those requirements have always limited me to Google's devices – first its Nexus line and now its Pixel phones. Good thing, then, that those were or are among the best Android phones you could buy.
The 5T essentially meets my first requirement. Its version of Android is about 99% similar to what you'll find on the Pixel phones. The only notable thing missing is the Pixel Launcher, an extra layer of features that Google reserves for its phones.
But the 5T doesn't meet my second requirement – OnePlus devices generally don't get the latest versions of Android as soon as Google releases them. As a case in point, the 5T runs Android 7.1, while Google's new Pixel 2 devices run Android 8.0.
However, for the 5T, I'm willing to bend my rules. It is just such a good smartphone for such a good price that I'm not going to rule it out because of that.
In fact, I'd go further and say that if you're in the market for an Android phone, you should buy the 5T. There's little reason to get any other device unless you absolutely have to have the latest Android updates immediately – or you enjoy spending more money than you need to.
There is one big caveat, though: The 5T doesn't work on Verizon's network. So if you're wedded to Verizon, as I am, you'll have to get a different phone.
The OnePlus 5T went on sale on Wednesday, and it's available from OnePlus' site.

Wall of death: From hell with love
The song has the strange qualities of a Leonard Cohen song covered by an underground heavy psych band for whom English isn't their native language.
There's a feeling that there's something wonderful here that's just out of reach, and can only be fully understood by repeated listening at a terrifying volume.
The track has a spacy yet driving sound reminiscent of the likes of Hawkwind, although Wall of Death are more focused on condensing their Lemmy-era explorations into precision engineered blasts from the beyond.
Even the video reflects some of the aesthetics of the era, with everything turned up to the maximum yet the central figure remaning detatched and cool.
Wall of Death are a three piece from Paris, namecheck the likes of psych pioneers the 13th Floor elevators, the Electric Prunes to 80s underground local champions The Jesus and Mary chain.
I have a feeling I'll be listening to this band a lot, and I suspect they're an intense live proposition.
The track comes from the band's debut album Main obsession, which was released in October on Born Bad Records.

We sat around a large swimming pool at a spa north of Stockholm on Friday and watched synchronized swimming, as performed by pretty young women who were members of the Neptun swimming club. At one point, a square skylight opened high in the ceiling and snowflakes drifted softly down into the pool. Its a tough life to be a fashion journalist.
"Trends in water" was the title of the ingenious show staged by the Swedish Shoe Council, and in one number, the swimmers actually wore plastic footwear from Björn Borg, Crocs and Vivo Barefoot.
Sara Winter of the Shoe Council delivered illuminating ideas about trends for the coming season. Some of the main trends, she said, are Safari, Sailor, Transparency, Oceans of Gold and Strong Colors.
Strong colors, by the way, doesn't just apply to footwear for ladies.
"We are seeing a lot of colors for men as well, and not just the standard black, brown and dark blue," she observed.

I love this chair by Kerozene Design. It's a loop chair, designed for comfortable chair-shares. Perfect for some me-and-you time. Also looks fabulous on a beautiful deck with an infinity pool. This baby will set you back about $7 000 but seems insanely perfect for a day out in the sun. Warning: do not try to skateboard through it. Dope!
P.S. I will be in Morocco for a couple days so no posts until Friday but I'll be sure to take some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

for the constant food you have at your fingertips. The people of Somalia have been experiencing the worst drought for decades and that's just one country.
This makes me feel selfish on so many levels.
There are countless ways you can help, even just by making the smallest donation locally wherever you live. It's no coincidence that I bring this up a week before Ramadan, it just so happened I was struck with the above photo now. It definitely is an eye opener, and if anyone can guide me where to make local donations I'd really appreciate that.
Otherwise, there are many websites we can donate to. We can start at the UN World Food Programme.

In the movie Funny People, Jason Schwatzman plays the role of an arrogant, self-loving actor, star-struck by himsef (an extension of his self-righteous character, Max Fischer, in Wes Anderson's 1998 film Rushmore). While he plays that role on screen, he also manages to invisibly make his way into the picture through his music.
Although there are a handful of solid tracks throughout the film, Schwartzman's band Coconut Records contributes two tracks that were particularly striking to me. If you've ever known the feeling of walking away from a movie saying, "I have to get that soundtrack," Funny People will most likely be added to your archives. "Wires" and "I am Young" are worth looking up.

It is often difficult for seniors to adjust to a new housing environment. It may be a move from their house to independent/assisted living or memory care. They fear the loss of independence, status, self-esteem, freedom or social contacts.
Here are a few ways you can help your loved adjust:
- Introduce them to staff and residents
- Ask the staff to team them up with a resident buddy to show them to activities and meals
- Decorate the outside of their door with a wreath, needlepoint, shadow box or art work
- Make the room as personal as possible with family pictures, an afghan, favorite chair, etc.
- Set-up a routine: Monday-bath, Tuesday-therapy, Wednesday-visit from family, Thursday- cards, etc.
- Anticipate upcoming events: birthday, holiday, birth, wedding or graduation
- Talk about their past interests
- Set-up the apartment before their arrival and invite family and friends
I am available for family coaching for anyone across the nation. If you find family members are in disagreement regarding the direction of care for your loved one or you are overwhelmed, call me at for a private session via phone (303-875-4466) or by email (firstname.lastname@example.com).

PAS ruling faction - more ethno-centric than ethic-centric?
I thought 65 votes was not to be sneered at as that represented slightly more than 6% of the PAS party voters, but Malaysiakini just had to state the PAS deputy presidential race was 'close'. I suspect that since 08 March 2008 the expectation for election wins (whether of intra or inter party contest) requires majority of avalanche-like or tsunamic proportions. Malaysia Boleh ;-)
Alas, when the official result came out, it was a case of Nasharuddin retains PAS No 2 post.
Nasharuddin obtained 480 votes while Husam and Mohd Sabu had 281 and 261 respectively. I have to be cruel and say that Malaysiakini's earlier report of Husam's victory, unofficial as it might have been labelled, was wild and rather unacceptable, akin to Erdogan-ic wishful thinking.
But did the reporter learn a lesson?
No, because in the second news report which carries the official results, the statement "Nasharuddin's sizable margin of victory of 199 votes over Husam indicated that the conservative ulama faction is still very much dominant in the party" fails to indicate that the total votes for a non-negotiable anti-UMNO stand (as propounded by Husam and supported by Mat Sabu), and thus against Pak Haji Hadi Awang, his running mate Nasharudin and the ulama faction was more than 50%, a total of 542 votes against Nasharudin 480.
Husam and Sabu split their camp's votes and the story is the usual one, 'first past the post wins', and that's Nasharudin.
But the Malaysiakini news report has been incorrect in suggesting through its statement 'the conservative ulama faction is still very much dominant in the party' that there hasn't been a sea change in attitude within PAS vis-à-vis working with non-Muslims and kaffir-like socialist parties like the DAP, when the majority of voters (542 of them) wanted the party to continue support for the Pakatan Rakyat coalition, without flirting with UMNO.
Despite Nasharudin stating bravely that "I still won" with less than 50% of the votes (and he's right in this respect) I am sure he knows the lie of the new PAS political landscape …
… which has been why, when interviewed by reporters, he was more diplomatic than his bulldozing ethno-centric President and tap danced around, as reported by The Malaysian Insider as follows:
On the unity government proposal, he said that the idea had to be put on hold as the party needs time to explain it to the members. "It is not a one man show party, especially on policy matters, it has to be endorsed by the muktamar," said Nasharudin.
Elaborating on Hadi's remark yesterday that he had received the support of Pakatan Rakyat leaders for the unity government idea, Nasharudin said the discussion did not reach policy level. Other Pakatan leaders have denied discussing the subject between them.
The deputy president also promised to work towards strengthening Pakatan but said PAS has never intended to dominate the opposition coalition and said the leadership council is sufficient. "There is no need to appoint one party to lead," said Nasharudin when asked whether PAS is interested to lead the opposition pact which controls 82 parliament seats and four state governments.
But regardless of whether the Ulama or Erdogan faction has won, let's not ignore an undeniable truth ….. that both PAS factions continue to pursue their party aspiration, for Malaysia to become an Islamic State with syariah laws with the medieval hudud code of punishments as the law of the country.
We also need to be aware that the party's president and his ulama henchmen much prefer an ethno-centric pact. Yes, call it 'unity government' if you like, which the PAS ulama faction does, and which the PAS president was so enamoured of (such a relationship with UMNO) that he had the shameless gall to suggest DAP and PKR had both agreed to his preference.
Pak Haji Hadi Awang, unlike PAS spiritual leader Pak Haji Nik Aziz, seems more interested in an ethno-centric than an ethic-centric alliance …
... which means UMNO would undoubtedly exploit this chink (f* it, it's more of a humongous cleft) in the PAS armour.
In a way, I am glad that Husam Musa didn't win because as I said, the Erdogan-ites have the same ideological aspiration as the ulamas, to bring about an Islamic nation with syariah laws for Malaysia.
While a Husam Musa victory would have given a morale boost to the Pakatan's aspiration, that in 2013 the pact may assume majority rule, there will be the worrying but now-swept-under-the-carpet issue to deal with, that of PAS wanting to turn Malaysia into an Islamic nation.
How will PKR deal with that is easy to explain, so long as someone gets to be PM! wakakaka!
But how will DAP be able to deal with that?
But at least with the ulama faction in control, WYS-(in PAS)-IWYWG!

by the way, mahatir has alredi declared malaysia is an islamic state. so has Badawi and Najib.ReplyDelete
but the last i saw the court judgement, the decision was evidently different and nto what they said.
The position you've taken in this post is not surprising; your suspicions of PAS have been well documented, e.g. you criticized the DAP for supporting PAS in the Kuala Terengganu by-election.
The reason I'm not convinced is because I don't see how PAS can further it's agenda even if Pakatan Rakyat were to come in to "total"* power. PR derives it's core power base from the middle-class, which will not go along with the Islamic State agenda.
(*To be honest, I'm not really sure what "total" power is... Federal control? Federal control + 2/3 majority? Plus a handful of state governments? A slim-majority federal government will of course put a halt on all ambitious ideological pursuits.)
On the flipside, at the moment the heartland is (generally) UMNO's base, which PAS does covet, but their failure to capitalize on UMNO's disarray in Perlis and Terengganu leading up to the GE may be an indications of which way the heartland is (was?) leaning. Therefore, the idea of an UMNO-PAS alliance is, IMHO, far more... I don't want to use the word "threatening"... let's just say the Islamic State agenda is best served by an UMNO-PAS alliance.
Therefore, to keep PAS in the PR corner is to keep Islamic State at bay. That's my view. The question, as you put it, is whether PAS desires an ethic-centric programme or an ethNic-centric programme. I think having Nasaruddin in the co-pilots seat makes it easier for that camp to further their programme, regardless of how the delegates voted - reading voter intent is not easy anyway.
Ironically, Nik Aziz may be the only person that actually stands in the way of the Islamic State of Malaysia.

Just like UMNO is about Malay Supremacy, PAS is about Islamic or shall I say Ulama Supremacy. Two sides of the same coin. Now, are the PAS elections results explained in full for those who the results unsettling?ReplyDelete

Many times we fail to do great things because we fail to change our perspective or way of thinking. If you think something cannot be done, then the brain will not try to find solutions because it was already fueled with a component that says, "Don't Go. Can't Go". However, if your approach to a situation, whatever it may be, is positive then by all means, you will be able to. Even if it seems impossible in its initial stage, because you already convinced the mind that it is possible, solutions will be stumbled on. You may even shock yourself by innovation.
Recently I was looking at Mr. Peabody and Sherman, an animation. Sherman was flying a model airplane, to which he was doing great until Mr. Peabody yelled out, "Sherman you cannot fly". Sherman response was, "I can't?" and as soon as the resounding NO came from Mr. Peabody, Sherman fell from miles up in the air to the ground. My mind left the movie for a bit, as I started to think about how powerful the mind is and how our way of thinking can shape our lives. Sherman listened to the negativity that he was fed with and fell prey to it. Which takes me to this point. Be careful of the people you associate with. If you associate with negative people, you will begin to think negative and the same thing goes for positive association.
Nothing is impossible if you only believe. Matthew 17:20 states it very well. People who don't believe in God calls it positive thinking or positivity and we, as children of God calls it Faith. However it is described, it is still a powerful tool that bring change in the life of the ones who possesses it. Change your thinking and change your life.

Okay, I will start off with saying that at first I really thought that I had gone crazy when I decided or should I say when I agreed to let my sister talk me into signing up for a 1/2 Marathon.
Now, I know that I am crazy!
Me – the person that hates mornings, can't function without 2 cups of coffee, would rather wait for the elevator to go up a flight of stairs, trips over her own feet and probably only ever spent $50 on tennis shoes – now wakes up early on Saturday for a long run ( yup that is right 5 Miles this last weekend and there were even hills). My last pair of running shoes cost over $130 and I didn't even fret. Okay, I still drink coffee, take the elevator ( I am on the 6th floor) and still hate morning but I am out there and I don't nearly complain as much. (There are plenty of people that can back up that claim.)
So what have I learned —
Running makes me feel like I have accomplished something. Running makes me feel graceful. Running makes me feel strong. Running works out all those daily frustrations I have. Running is about me and no one else.
I can't blame anyone else if I don't make the miles or if I don't run as fast as I want. Running is about me listening to myself and learning just how far I WANT and CAN push myself.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen! Project N.E.S.II is taking another step further. Although I must admit this project is kinda slow which I did mention when I first announced.
My birthday is coming soon, June to be exact and I was thinking of treating myself and my Boxster S. So, either get a set of 19" wheels or a REMUS sports exhaust. Not sure which wheels I am getting as I am still browsing online for all kind of models. On the other hand, I already decided for Remus Exhaust system if exhaust is what I am getting. I am kinda indecisive at the moment. Was thinking of getting both at once but that would be too costly as I am on a budget.
What do you guys think? Wheels or Exhaust?

Well it's that time of year again….tax time. Well technically the financial year in Australia ended June 30th and we don't have to do our returns until October 31st but when it comes to money, I lose my procrastinating ways 🙂
Yesterday I went to see an accountant to sort out my tax return. I would have done it earlier except he was overseas for awhile. In Australia, there is a lovely free computer program that one can easily fill in the blanks and sort out their return. Accountants, however, know all the little tricks to get as much back as possible so they are worth their fee! At least mine is! Sarah's tax return this year is pretty good and I've been contemplating how to use it. Should I be responsible and pay down a line of credit? Should I put it into my London fund for when I move in December? Should I upgrade my plane ticket? Decisions, decisions!
After much thought (and discussion with Mum), I have decided to be a responsible adult and do 2 things with it. Firstly, I will use it to pay to store my car while I am overseas so that cost does not impact my savings for the move and secondly, I will take the remainder and put it on my line of credit. God sometimes I hate being a financially responsible adult! Sometimes I wish I could just throw responsibility out the window and spend money willy-nilly. Maybe one day I'll win the lottery and will be able to live that dream out. Until then, financial responsibility is my life.
The consideration of this decision reminded me of what I'd LIKE to do with it instead. Years ago, I made a life list and still have it to this day. Here are just a few of the things on my life bucket list:
- Learn how to stand up for myself -I am all talk and no action-this is a work in progress!
- Become fluent in French -I can hold a conversation, order food etc but I'm nowhere near what one would call fluent.
- Visit Italy: Rome, Venice, Florence– ride a gondola in Venice, see the Colosseum in Rome, eat pasta and gelati in Florence….
- Visit the Vatican -I'm not religious but went to Catholic schools. This would be an experience even for the non-religious.
- Learn how to say "hello/goodbye/please/thank you" in the language of every country I visit – this is just polite. Learning any other words is bonus.
- Visit Spain: Barcelona, Madrid -Drink sangria and eat tapas in Spain? Yes please!
- See whale sharks in Western Australia -you can even swim with them. Gentle giants that they are, I still think it would be terrifying just based on their sheer size!
- Visit Greece: Athens, Greek Isles – riots aside, this country looks so beautiful! Plus I want to see the Parthenon in Athens and relax on a Greek beach!
- Go on safari in Africa -how amazing to see the big 5 in their native habitat!
- Adopt at least one animal from a shelter –my first pet, Auri, was a rescue and I believe this is the only way to get a pet.
- Visit Prague– all accounts are this city is stunning and I hope to add it to my list next year.
- Own and decorate my own home -self-explanatory
- Learn to apologize gracefully -another of those "becoming a grown up" ones.
- Have fireworks at my wedding -should my plan A of becoming a crazy cat spinster lady fall through and I get drunk enough to agree to marriage, I want this!
- Become a competent and respected physiotherapist – self-explanatory
- Participate in a home-exchange program –cheapest way to travel overseas and best way to experience life as a local.
- Stand on the International Date Line -just one of those quirky, fun ones.
- Go horseback riding -maybe even on a beach 🙂
- Learn to drive a manual car -this is for safety as well as practicality
- Stay in a 5 star hotel -who doesn't want to do this?! Maybe in Paris?
- Fly in first/business class on a international flight -again, who doesn't want to do this?! I take so many long flights living in Oz so this would be awesome!
- Adopt a child* – if I ever decide to stop being selfish and give up my sleep-ins, why not with me and my cats?! There are so many children who need good homes in the world.
- Teach my kids to be multi-lingual -if I have kids, this is a great gift to give them.
Things I've been able to cross off my list:
- Buy 1 ridiculously expensive item & not regret it -Jimmy Choo black leather pumps for my 30th birthday, and I certainly have not regretted it!
- Live in Australia indefinitely– I am about to become an Australian citizen-will post about it when it becomes official in November.
- Spend New Years Eve in Sydney for the harbour fireworks – done Dec 31st 2010 with my friends Kas and Jen.
- Attend the Olympics – Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010-Go Canada!
- Attend the Stanley Cups Finals +/- World Juniors -Canadians will get this one! I attended the 2 home games when my Ottawa Senators made it in 2007. Sadly they lost but it was great!
- See U2 in concert – accomplished in Brisbane in 2010 with friends Jen and Kim.
- See the sunrise/sunset over Uluru in outback Australia – April 2009 with friend Lisa over Easter break
- Take a cooking class in France– took 3 with my mother in February 2012-loved them all!
- Show my family around Australia -my sister in 2006, my dad in 2009, my mum/cousin/aunt/sis in 2009 and my mum again in 2011.
- Move to the UK and travel around Europe– this one is on the cards for 2013, plane tickets are booked!
Coming up with your own bucket list is pretty fun. Have you ever done one? What's on your list?

Dengeki has long been known as a publisher of quality otaku magazines, which at times includes coupons for desirable mail-order exclusives. They continue this trend with their latest announcement of a Kousaka Kyousuke figure that may not be must-have material (few otaku want their collections "tainted" by PVC testosterone), but certainly unique.
The choice to make a Kyousuke figure, and a static one at that, is puzzling indeed but at least Dengeki was nice enough to include a face plate of one of Kyousuke's most famous expressions.
What's even better is that he's scaled close or at figma size so you can pose him alongside your other figmas for added "play value" (not sure how you can play with a static figure though).
Dengeki's Kousaka Kyousuke is a Dengekiya Magazine exclusive and will be released in February 2012 for a reasonably priced 4500 yen.
