"This Best Selling Samsung Electronics 64GB Pro microSDXC Extreme Speed (UHS-1) Class 10 Memory Card (MB-MGCGB/AM) Tends to SELL OUT VERY FAST! If this is a MUST HAVE product, be sure to Order Now to avoid disappointment!"
4 Proof Protection- Can endure 24 hours submerged in water and survive the perils of airport x-ray machines, magnetism and extreme temperatures
Plus, for some reason, the Sandisk Ultra would dismount itself from time to time for no apparent reason causing me to have to shut down the phone, reseat it and restart my phone! This happened multiple times at the least opportune moments. Hopefully, this will not happen with the Samsung Pro, but I haven't had it long enough to confirm yet. I will update this if that happens.
Update 5/22/2013:
I've had the card for a month today and so far I've had zero issues. The card has not dismounted itself even once. I could not be happier.
Update 7/8/2013:
Still zero issues in my phone. Just purchased a second one for use with a GoPro HERO3 Black Edition. Got it on June 20th directly from Amazon for $50.99, which is the lowest price I've ever seen for the 64GB Samsung Pro so far.
Update 2/1/2014:
I now own three of these cards and they have all been fast and worked flawlessly. The one in my phone has never, not even once dismounted itself like the Sandisk card did. I'm using another in a 2014 Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and the third in a GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition.
I've had this microSD card for a few days (as with the GS4) and have had absolutely no problems with it. The card went immediately from the packaging to the back of the GS4 without any formatting or other preparation. It was recognized and readable right away by the GS4, by my newly installed Android file manager apps, and by my Windows 8 laptop when connected.
I could not be more pleased with the card's performance or more thrilled with the value for the price, admittedly a bit more than the competition but well worth it.
While you're doing your own research, keep this microSD card at the top of your list for consideration. You'll find that my, and others, recommendation is well founded.
Fakes normally have a smaller size than it says it is (a 32gb card is actually 2gb) and the computer sees it at 32 gb. What happens is when you go past the 2gb of actual memory – the rest of the data becomes corrupt because it is writing to nothing. The rest of the "30gb" is not really there so POOF – there goes your pictures, music etc.
When this happens people blame it on a malfunctioning card/phone/device.
Ok so here is the result from my test with the program
Warning: Only 30597 of 30598 MByte tested.
Test finished without errors.
You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.
Writing speed: 15.0 MByte/s
Reading speed: 19.5 MByte/s
H2testw v1.4
As you can see – 32gb is there and the write/read speeds are there as well.
Not as fast as advertised but much faster compared to my previous cards.
When tested in a Samsung Galaxy S4 – I get a slightly faster writing- 18mb/s and read of 22mb/s
All in all well worth the money!
Remember to test your card asap when you receive it – it could save you lots of lost data/headache/money in the long run.
If you have camera that requires class-10 card, and you need high capacity in micro-SD format, I can highly recommend this one. It's slightly more expensive then similar SanDisk Ultra card, but unlike SanDisk Ultra, Samsung Pro works
Some numbers. Test of write speed (writing out 1GB of zeros to the card):
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=131072 count=8192
8192+0 records in
8192+0 records out
1073741824 bytes transferred in 52.869111 secs (20309436 bytes/sec)
iostat shows write speed to be more or less constant throughout the write:
$ iostat -d -w 1 disk2
KB/t tps MB/s
125.30 138 16.86
117.73 157 18.03

Join us for a reception for John Woodrow Kelley author of John Woodrow Kelley: Greek Mythology Now, a monograph of his work. December 11th at 6PM
JOHN WOODROW KELLEY is an artist whose entire life's work is devoted to creating a contemporary interpretation of the classical tradition in western civilization. This ambition is expressed through a series of paintings inspired by Greek mythology, as well as a study of the uniqueness of the human individual through the genre of portraiture. Mr. Kelley's attraction to Greek mythology is born of the belief that it embodies everything that is timeless about the human experience, and therefore is worthy of an interpretation expressing our own age. Learn more about Mr. Kelley and his work at his website - greekmythologynow.com
December 14th at 2PM, a book signing for Urban Hikes in Knoxville and Knox County, Tennessee, a new guidebook by Ron Shrieves, Mac Post, and Christine Hamilton. The authors are all members of the local Harvey Broome Group of the Sierra Club and spent a year hiking all the suggested routes in preparation for the book.
The book describes local urban hikes "that not only allow for an enjoyable physical workout, but also stimulate interest in some aspects of the nature and culture found in our community," states the introduction. Color photographs and maps accompany the descriptions of the recommended hikes. A forward by former Knoxville Mayor Victor Ashe and a history of area greenways by Will Skelton are also featured in the book.

"These cards turned out even better than we could have imagined. They were beautiful, and we received so many complements on them. Delivery was fast, and tiny prints was great to work with. THANK YOU!!!! Beautiful!!!!!"
"The tinyprints website made choosing the card and all the details quick and painless. Cards are perfect! We did not go with the scalloped edges as shown here. Love the backing. Received before the date that they had stated! Will do again next year :-)"
"From customizing, to ordering to receipt of product, this was a great experience. Customer service happily helped me with an order issue and the final product was such exceptional quality that I was proud to send them to my friends and family. Will place orders again in the future."
"The card looked great, the photos turned out well, liked that there was a back and front with photos, the gold embellishment was nice. The only problem was one of our cards was returned to us, because the fourth address line wasn't printed, and another card (which also had four lines) hasn't arrived and hasn't been returned yet."
"This is a beautiful card. The paper is good quality (a thick card stock), the design is really cute, and they arrived within a few days. I also had a great experience using the designer--it really gave me peace of mind to have someone proofread and tell me it looked OK on their end. I am incredibly happy with these. Just beware: these are pretty pricey, and they cost more to mail because of the square shape (70 cents a piece!)."

Retain Todd Carney
To the Canberra Raiders, Raiders\' halfback Todd Carney should not have his contract terminated as a result of his latest off field indiscretion. It is the belief of those who have signed this petition that young Todd can be rehabilitated for the betterment of himself and this great club, which we all love and support. The sacking of Todd Carney will ultimately do more harm to Todd and this club, than working with him to get his career, and more importantly, his life, back on track. We strongly believe this club is the right place for Todd to do this. We are strong and loyal supporters of the Canberra Raiders AND Todd Carney. We urge you to show leniency and let Todd Carney turn his life around at the club he loves. We thank you for your time and considering our thoughts on this matter. Sincerely, The undersigned.

Results tagged "Somalia"
Would you like to limit the tag results display to a specific section?
If you do, then pick any of the sections below:
Or simply go to the aggregated tag results from:
The Somali government has fired 700 soldiers of various ranks for incompetence. In Mogadishu, Shabaab has claimed responsibility for two consecutive nights of shelling in various government and AMISOM-controlled areas. Although Kenya will decrease its troop presence in Kismayo, the KDF has denied allegations that Kenyan forces are preparing to pull out of Somalia completely.
Elephant Campaign: How Africa's 'white gold' funds the al Shabaab militants -
After the Somali government complained Kenyan troops were interfering with its attempts to assert authority, Kenya will decrease its troop presence in Kismayo. Sources claim that three Kenyan soldiers were killed, and one armored vehicle was damaged over the weekend in an ambush by Shabaab forces near Afmadow in Lower Jubba. Shabaab has arrested 16 people working for the Somali telecommunications company Hormud Telecom in Jilib in Middle Jubba.
AMISOM troops have disrupted an anti-Mogadishu conference in Baidoa aimed at creating an autonomous state in southern Somalia consisting of Bay, Bakool, Gedo, Lower Jubba, Middle Jubba, and Lower Shabelle. The Sufi militant group Ahlu Sunna Wal Jamaa has urged Shabaab to lay down arms and seek an amnesty deal. In Barawe, Shabaab led a public demonstration protesting the integration of Ethiopian troops into AMISOM.
President Mohamud wants the current UN arms embargo freeze extended, as Somali troops still need equipment to fight insurgents, and said increased operations against Shabaab are imminent. In Lower Shabelle, infighting between two clans within the Somali army killed at least 18 people, including two civilians. In Kismayu, locals demonstrated against the relocation of Kenyan AMISOM troops due to be replaced by Sierra Leonean counterparts. In Baidoa, a Shabaab officer surrendered, citing "unbearable living conditions and internal threats."
A Somali special forces unit called 'Alpha Group' has begun operations to detain suspected Shabaab members. An angry mob formed yesterday in Mogadishu when an AMISOM convoy failed to stop after it hit and killed a local man. Shabaab urged Somalis to take up arms and help the group kill AMISOM soldiers for failing to differentiate between soldiers and civilians.
Shabaab has confirmed that intelligence operative Sahal Iskudhuq was killed by a US strike over the weekend. US security officials speaking off the record said the drone strike was targeting Shabaab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane. AMISOM has launched a 35-day training program for over 1,000 soldiers from the Interim Jubba Administration.
Saudi MSC in Jerusalem fighter fought in Libya, sought to join 'mujahideen' in Somalia
Saudi national Adi Saleh Abdullah al Fudhayli al Hadhli, who died in June 2012 in an attack against Israel, had originally sought to join the "mujahideen" in Somalia. In 2011, he traveled to Libya to fight in the Libyan civil war.Shabaab threatened more violence in response to Ethiopian troops' formally joining AMISOM. Over the weekend, a US drone strike killed an Amniyat commander in Lower Shabelle, and Puntland forces attacked a Shabaab base in Galgala. In Mogadishu, Shabaab killed five Somali soldiers in a brazen daytime attack, after having attacked a police station the night before.
The Sufi militia Ahlu Sunna wal Jamaa (ASWJ) has given its support to Ethiopian integration into AMISOM. Shabaab militants shelled Mogadishu last night, wounding four people. Shabaab has arrested more than 100 people in Bardere town in Gedo for crimes ranging from trading khat to arson.
Shabaab fighters are poised to retake Mahaday after Somali troops retreated from the town. A drop in gun prices in Mogadishu is thought to be due to Somali soldiers selling off their equipment.
Shabaab has shut down mobile Internet access in areas under its control. A tipoff from Ahlu Sunna wal Jamaa forces led to the Kenyan Defence Forces airstrike on Shabaab leaders in Birta Dher village. Over 4,000 Ethiopian soldiers have formally integrated into AMISOM with orders to operate in the regions of Bay, Bakool, and Gedo. KDF forces in Kismayo are believed to have repelled a nighttime Shabaab attack on their base at Kismayo airport.
Two Somali soldiers were killed in a landmine explosion outside of Mogadishu when their vehicle entered a minefield. Somali police and their Ugandan counterparts have signed a counter-terrorism agreement that includes joint equipment procurement and intelligence sharing.
From Falluja to Maghreb, a new, diffuse al Qaeda
Shabaab insurgents raided military facilities in Middle Shabelle on Tuesday night, stealing RPGs and anti-tank weapons. Ten government soldiers were killed in the attack. In Bay, government forces have arrested suspected Shabaab fighters in a security crackdown following the death of two Somali soldiers.
Djiboutian Forces have received 26 Land Cruisers from the US to help fight Shabaab in Beledweyne. Six army and police officers were killed in a Shabaab attack in Middle Shabelle. The federal government has confirmed the US military presence in Mogadishu.
Drop in sea piracy helped by big Somali improvement, says watchdog
Shabaab officer Abdullahi Dalas turned himself in to authorities in Lower Jubba. Government officials have downplayed Shabaab's threats against using the Internet in Somalia.
Shabaab has warned residents of Mogadishu not to work for international aid organizations. The group also threated to attack US forces in Mogadishu, following reports that the US has a base at Mogadishu airport. A delegation of Somali parliamentarians visited their counterparts in Iran to extend bilateral ties.
Seven Somali soldiers were killed by Shabaab in an ambush outside the town of Afgoye near Mogadishu. The Kenyan army claimed to have killed 30 Shabaab militants, including senior leadership, in a strike at a Shabaab camp in Birta Dhere in the Gedo region.

Judging by the date, it's either already 2014 or the calendar I bought is going in the trash. Either way, nothing is stopping us from holding on to the coattails of 2013 just a bit longer. After dissecting it from every angle, after looking at its trends and patterns, after reveling in its cinematic magic, it's time to sit back and view it through a week's worth of hindsight. Here, in one tantalizingly easy-to-use grouping, is our complete review of the best year of movies since the last one. Enjoy blowing off your day job and join us in our low-power time machine.
Another year, another creeping sense of dissatisfaction with the standard awards program. Sure it's important to celebrate the best of the best of the best in the usual categories, but it all becomes a bit stale when the Oscars will be the dozenth major body to denote a best actor or cinematographer or score. Instead, we offer this alternative: a look at the strongest work of the movie year through the lens of odd trends and pure randomness. To wit, a header image that features our task-master-in-chief Neil Miller wondering if he forgot to send out invitations to the gala (he didn't). We're repeating an award from last year because you demanded it, but 2013 gave us enough weird and wonderfulness to fill up a whole new ballot otherwise. Please feel free to make up your own awards in the comments section.
Year in Review: The 13 Most Memorable On-Screen Deaths of 2013
Best of 2013 By Adam Bellotto on December 31, 2013 | Comments (2)2013 was a grim year to be watching movies. Maybe not in terms of box office grosses or in the output of quality films, but with subject matter, we've all been in a morbid mood for the past 12 months. Thanks to 2013, the "apocalypse comedy" is an officially sanctioned genre. This is the End, The World's End and Rapture-Palooza all milked the end times (and the idea of everyone you've ever known and loved suffering a horrific death) for a few yuks. Likewise, the usual crop of award-winners this year is overrun with heroes struggling to overcome their own imminent demise. Where before we might have had an Argo or a Life of Pi in the mix, 2013 brought 12 Years a Slave, Gravity, Dallas Buyer's Club, Fruitvale Station and Captain Phillips to the table. Yet in looking at a film specifically through the lens of death can shed new light on something we've all analyzed a thousand times over by now. 12 Years a Slave, despite being a step-by-step guide to mutilating an audience's emotions, has relatively little on-screen killing. The ABCs of Death 2 has, unsurprisingly, a huge amount. The 13 deaths that follow are the year's best, representing all the many emotions a cinematic demise can produce- grief, disgust, laughter, and even a little cathartic whooping here and there. And keep in mind that "best death" doesn't necessarily mean "best film," so the quality of movies may vary. It goes without saying, but spoilers ahead.
Year in Review: The 13 Best Trailers of 2013
Best of 2013 By Kate Erbland on December 30, 2013 | Comments (1)What were the best trailers of the year trying to sell? Movies and moods and ideas and awards and stars and sexiness and just a lot of great music. And maybe, just maybe, something more (read: more movie tickets). Not every great trailer advertises a great film, but sometimes even the most lackluster productions can gift movie fans with two minutes of cinematic glory (all the better if said trailer can include Kanye West screaming or Nicole Kidman redefining "cold" or even the glories of street dancing) worth lauding all on their own. This year saw a vast batch of standout trailers, and while our listing of best trailers of the year is nothing if not varied, all of the videos contained within share one key element – they effectively conveyed tone and feeling without revealing too much about plot and characters.

The 13 Best Films of 2013: Critic's Picks
Best of 2013 By Rob Hunter on December 30, 2013 | Comments (2)Before Midnight! Gravity! The Wolf of Wall Street! Fruitvale Station! The Great Beauty! Philomena! Frances Ha! Blue Jasmine! Spring Breakers! Nebraska! Dallas Buyers Club! The Wind Rises! Saving Mr. Banks! None of the thirteen critically acclaimed films above are on my list of the thirteen best films of 2013 below. Make of that what you will, but of the whopping 241 new releases I watched this year these are the thirteen that have stuck with me the strongest. That said, I did make a conscious effort to focus on U.S. releases for the list since I have a separate Top 13 for Best Foreign Language films. It's been a fantastic year in cinema all around, and I could just as easily offered a list twice as long. Keep reading to see what I feel are the thirteen best movies of 2013.
Year In Review: The Serious Problem With Comedies
Best of 2013 By Scott Beggs on December 29, 2013 | Comments (2)If there's one movie that speaks most to the sad state of comedy in 2013, it's The Hangover Part III. It managed to copy the chemistry that made the Wolfpack a household name while evolving into a different animal altogether. The gags were angrier, more aggressive, and they shifted the tone from absurdity to despair. It's a comedy that isn't funny (much like The Comedy, which isn't funny) and it offers some insight into the frustrations offered by modern movie humor. In our obligatory year-end retrospective, we've covered horror, documentaries, sci-fi/fantasy, and other categories, but even thinking of 13 movies meant for laughter (let alone the best baker's dozen) is a difficult task this year because a general pall of mediocrity fogs the genre. The cinema is dominated by comedies that aren't funny. There were studio efforts (Grown Ups 2, We're The Millers, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone) that fell completely flat, indie standouts (Frances Ha, Computer Chess) that were funny without busting guts, and experimental tinkering (Movie 43) that was just plain terrible. That's not to say that there were no triumphs, but the amount of whiffs was truly disheartening, and one formula is causing the lion's share of the problems.
Year in Review: Keeping Up with Katniss
Best of 2013 By Samantha Wilson on December 29, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIf you hadn't heard, 2013 is the year that a small indie production called The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, starring little-known commercial actress Jennifer Lawrence (am I saying that right?) stormed into theaters. In truth, the massive-scale production, bolstered by a months-long marketing campaign (step into a Subway sometime for a District 12 themed sandwich, because nothing screams "we're actually starving" like footlongs), has earned over $600M worldwide to date, and is expected to reach $800M by the end of its theatrical run. This is also the year that everyone and their producer attempted to find the next Hunger Games franchise and fell completely, utterly flat. Line 'em up: The Host, Beautiful Creatures, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters and Ender's Game all tried their hand at making the jump from page to screen, but nothing achieved anything near what Catching Fire created, both in terms of financial success and creative content.
Year In Review: The 13 Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Films of 2013
Best of 2013 By Christopher Campbell on December 28, 2013 | Comments (15)This year promised a number of great original science fiction movies from Hollywood, and then it turned out most of them weren't even good let alone great — the sort that left us with way too many unanswered questions regarding their plot holes. Meanwhile, in the fantasy genre, we continued to see the studios churning out one YA adaptation after another in the hopes of it being the next Hunger Games (or still the next Harry Potter or Twilight or even Star Wars in the case of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) and ironically having no clue how to find the *magic* in the appeal of these kinds of stories. And of course there's the ever-growing subgenre of superhero movies, which really only disappointed this year because they arrived in the wake of 2012's The Avengers, not simply because most of the output was sequels (Iron Man 3; Thor: The Dark World; The Wolverine) that were merely okay rather than totally awesome. As I've noted in the past, I don't consider Gravity to be sci-fi (even after learning that some tech in the film doesn't exist yet), but I'll let it be known that if I were to qualify the outer space thriller, I'd put it in the number 6 slot on account of its gripping visual storytelling and little else. As for another popular choice (one that made a few FSR staffer's best of lists, as well as our democratically voted top 10), Pacific Rim might have made this […]
Year in Review: A Year of Girls Behaving Badly
Best of 2013 By Samantha Wilson on December 28, 2013 | Comments (1)While YA girls have had their fun saving their families from constant supernatural and dystopian peril, a new sort of teenage girl has emerged in cinema, fueled by the age-old mantra of "live fast, die young, bad girls do it well." 2013 was the year that young women found a different kind of representation in film through characters who took a different approach to life. Without the YA label, there was a decent crop of films centered upon teenage girls who not only lived in the real world, but also experienced real dilemmas (as for realistic, we can get into that later). Free from being the heroine that the people desperately needed and the love interest that some bland boy thought he deserved, these new teenage girls were free to be – and eagerly were – selfish, brutal and unapologetically uninterested in saving anyone but themselves. And why shouldn't they be? After years of being relegated to the punch lines and stereotypes of the teen comedies that populated the 1990s and early 2000s, then taking up residence in the present day literary dramas, it was time for a change. 2013 was the year of girls behaving badly — and for being portrayed as real people on screen.
The Best Movies of 2013: The Staff Picks
Best of 2013 By FSR Staff on December 27, 2013 | Comments (13)Survey any group of 10 to 15 people from different cities around the world about their favorite movies of the year and you're sure to get some varied responses. So much goes into the accumulation of our favorites in any given year of cinema. It depends upon what is available where we live, what our social circle is talking about and what we have time for on any given Friday night. It also depends heavily on one's commitment to seeing as many movies as possible, so as to curate a well-rounded list. That last part is what makes the members of the Film School Rejects staff a group whose lists are worth reading: we all eat, sleep and live movies. So our lists, however varied, don't just represent a few good movies, they are evidence of a year of ups-and-downs. Evidence of blood, sweat and tears shed in dedication to the cause of weeding out the best of cinema 2013. It all leads us here, to our annual Staff Picks. This year, we not only asked our staffers to each provide their five best movies of the year, we have used those lists to create an aggregated list of the Ten Best Movies of 2013. The aggregated list includes not just the lists you'll see herein, but also that of our lead critic Rob Hunter, whose individual list will be published next week in the Critic's Picks article. All in all, the staff nominated 31 different films among the best […]
Year In Review: The 13 Best Movies of 2013 That No One Is Talking About
Best of 2013 By Daniel Walber on December 27, 2013 | Comments (8)There are big movies and there are little movies. I mean that entirely in the sense of budget and release, promotion and theatrical scope. In the United States we talk most about our wide studio releases, then homegrown smaller independent films and the big-name foreign imports. But that leaves quality filmmaking to fall through the cracks. Movies that, for one reason or another, no one seems to be talking about. There are overlooked gems, and then there are the deep cuts. The homegrown niche dramas, the Irish horror flicks, the Latin American comedies, the Scandinavian experiments in nonfiction? This year saw some extraordinary unheralded work from abroad, alongside some excellent films that came from unexpected domestic places. Here are thirteen of them.
Year In Review: The 13 Best Foreign Films of 2013
Best of 2013 By Rob Hunter on December 26, 2013 | Comments (4)Cinema is a worldwide artform, and as such many of the year's best and most exciting films often come from overseas. Quality is no guarantee of visibility though as subtitled films rarely get a wide reception in American theaters, and worse, many don't even make it to our shores until a year or more after opening in their own country. That's the kind of factor that makes ranking foreign language films a difficult and inconsistent process. I try and go by actual year of release when possible, but for obvious reasons I'm not adverse to including entries that made their U.S. debut this year, too. But these are details… let's get to the movies! Genre films rarely make "best of" lists like this , but I make no apologies for their inclusion here. Best is best, and if my best happens to include a character named The Queen of Saliva so be it..
Year In Review: The 13 Best Documentaries of 2013
Best of 2013 By Nonfics on December 26, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWhat a year for nonfiction cinema. The power and the poetry and the perspective of documentaries in 2013 all reached groundbreaking levels. Films are changing minds, maybe some industries, perhaps even eventually some national histories. They're illustrating imaginations and emotions and memories in ways that expand the mode beyond realism to points of greater truth. We saw things this year that we've simply never seen on film before, and we also embraced the very familiar through totally fresh points of view. Whether it was a story of one family's secret or of the shockingly unhidden yet unexplored travesty of a whole country, or of an investigation into the covert dealings of our own military or of the previously unspoken complexities of a serious issue of medical and moral controversy, the best docs of this year dove deep into the unknown and came out offering astonishing tales and testimonies. Or they blew fiction films out of the water in terms of their cinematic spectacle and narrative creativity, their capability to depict romance and suspense and humor and even a sense of magic. Below are the 13 titles that Nonfics has democratically determined to be the greatest U.S. theatrical releases of the year. Compiled and tallied from the individual lists of columnist Robert Greene and critics Daniel Walber, Dan Schindel and Landon Palmer, as well as Nonfics Managing Editor Christopher Campbell, the selections do well to represent the bounty of varied works we had this year that continue to broaden the scope […]
Year In Review: The 13 Best Short Films of 2013
Best of 2013 By Scott Beggs on December 24, 2013 | Comments (2)If you aren't plugged in to what's going on with short films, you're missing out on an insane amount of outstanding entertainment. People talk about how difficult it was to whittle down Best Of lists for features this year (Her or Gravity or 12 Years a Slave?!) but after watching almost 3,000 shorts in 12 months, it feels like the depth of talent is growing in a big way on the small side. As a testament to the medium's freedoms, more and more feature filmmakers are returning to it. No longer simply a calling card or an early stepping stone, shorts have an undeniable power coupled with an infinite platform that some are just now discovering. They're also strange to categorize. For some, the internet is a red carpet while for others, it's a final stop after touring festivals for years. As such, some of the best short films of 2013 were made a couple years ago. The focus is certainly on new projects, but some don't find an audience quickly even as their magic deserves mention. Plus, there are 2013 movies like Noah that would have made this list, but are now unavailable (in most cases — including Noah's — because studios are keeping the work offline in order to have well-earned contractual conversations). But instead of getting bogged down in specifics, please let your mind wander for a short while.

Filmmaker of the Year: Steve McQueen
Best of 2013 By Scott Beggs on December 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIf you were talking about Steve McQueen five years ago, it was probably about Bullitt jumping over Nazi barricades on a motorcycle and stealing art from museums. Either that, or you were plugged into the museum scene and had an eye for experimental short films. While you were failing to stop Thomas Crown from pilfering priceless work, you were discovering a new Steve McQueen. The rest of us had to wait until 2008. In the past five years, the new McQueen has translated two decades of success within docent-tinged walls into indie film domination and, now, mainstream emergence without compromise. That's a simmering, meteoric rise into a cultural place that few filmmakers ever go. The new McQueen was born a year after the old McQueen became Crown and Bullitt, but in a small amount of time, he's solidified himself as a cinematic voice to take very, very seriously. In other words, if you're talking about Steve McQueen today, there's an odds on chance that you're dissecting Shame or Hunger or 12 Years a Slave.
Year in Review: The 13 Best Movie Scores and Soundtracks of 2013
Best of 2013 By Allison Loring on December 23, 2013 | Comments (3)This year brought moviegoers an array of music that ranged from uplifting (About Time "How Long Will I Love You") to depressing (The Great Gatsby's "Young and Beautiful") to catchy (Inside Llewyn Davis' "Please Mr. Kennedy") to nostalgic (Saving Mr. Banks' "Let's Go Fly a Kite") to just plain out there (Spring Breakers' "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites"). Whether it was a film about throwing (or attending) the best party of your life or one about intense family drama, the music pushed stories to new heights, whether it was an Alien rapping on the beach or two mothers pushing their children to the breaking point. Film music is no longer just orchestration and catchy pop songs – it is dubstep and bands you would normally hear on the radio taking to the conductor's stand. Simply put – it is an exciting time for music in film because there are no rules. Now it's time to relive some of the best music moments from this past year with scores from composers new to the scene and those continuing to churn out groundbreaking music, as well as soundtracks that featured songs from bands and artists who discovered new talents while collaborating.
13 Important Lessons This Year's Movies Can Learn From the Criterion Collection
Best of 2013 By Landon Palmer on December 22, 2013 | Be the First To CommentThe Criterion Collection is an ever-expanding accumulation of canonical works of cinema. Yet Criterion's selections don't only represent deliberate attempts to construct a pristine archive from cinema's past, but also force a conversation with cinema's present. These releases (and the cult of anticipation that develops around them) produces a distinctive contrast between the best of cinema history against the spoils of the current moment. And while 2013 did introduce us to some very good films (three of which made it into the Collection), the best selections of cinema's past always have a lot of instructive lessons to offer the smorgasbord of cinema's present. So here are some useful pieces of advice that we think current filmmaking should take from this year's crop of Criterion releases.
The Year in Review is Not Just About New Movies; 13 Older Films I Discovered in 2013
Best of 2013 By Landon Palmer on December 21, 2013 | Comments (10)It's late December, and that means two things: your sudden panicked realization that you haven't completed your holiday shopping, and movie lists. And like every December, FSR is devoting numerous posts to the very best and worst (but mostly best) that 2013 had to offer at the movies. But as movie fans, we don't only see movies that were released in the year we see them – we might dig into classics and curiosities via online streaming, repertory showings, or simple chance encounters. Year-end lists may summarize the breadth of movies released in theaters throughout the calendar year, but they don't necessarily reflect the yearly consumption of a dedicated movie fan. To many movie lovers, going to a movie theater can be surprisingly rare, and watching movies follows less of a calendar schedule and works a bit more like time travel: one day you're in 2013, and the next you're in 1950s Hollywood, followed by a brief stint in 1980s central Florida, and then back to 2013 again. Furthermore, several distributors (Drafthouse, Milestone, Janus) are increasingly devoting their energy not to releasing new movies, but to reviving under-seen gems. For some of you, 2013 may have had little to do with your movie experience in 2013. So I've concocted an alternative year-end list: the 13 (er, 14) most memorable movies I saw in 2013 that weren't actually released this year. Not necessarily the best, but the movies that most surprised me – the movies that reminded me that no matter […]
Year In Review: The 13 Best Action Movies of 2013
Best of 2013 By Rob Hunter on December 21, 2013 | Comments (8)I've always been far more partial to action accomplished via choreography than with CGI shenanigans. There's a place for both, obviously, but I'm more impressed by the agile movement of bodies than I am by the placement of pixels. Unfortunately, fight scenes unassisted by CGI or wire-work are becoming a bit of a rarity these days. That said, there's still plenty of fun to be had with action scenes, big or small, that are created with the aid of technology or that eschew fisticuffs all together for exciting gunplay or vehicular hijinks. This year's best action films are a mix of all of the above and include both domestic and international movies. What's not included? Movies featuring superheroes. It wasn't an intentional slight, believe me, but when it came time to rank which films offered up the most legitimately exciting and visceral thrills the thirteen below beat out the likes of Iron Man 3, Man of Steel, and others. Remember, this isn't a ranking of movies but of the action in the movies, meaning while these aren't all necessarily great films they do represent the best action to have hit screens this year. To that end, keep reading for a look at our choices for the Best Action Movies of 2013.

18 months ago I started running. I didn't have any particular goal. I just ran because it would help me lose weight. Then something happened. I met some amazing people in the local running group that a good friend of mine, Marc Vaillancourt, started. I ran more. In fact, I ran a 5k every week with them. And I lost the weight I wanted to loose. But like anything, I knew the weight would come back. So I set a goal for 2013:
Run one race each month in 2013.
I assumed I would run 5k's each month. I planned out the year with 12 races. I finished the year with 17 races including my first marathon and an insane October schedule with a 5k, 10k, 10 mile, 1/2 marathon and 50k ultra marathon.

Carly Kan was named to the All-Tournament team. |
Sept. 21, 2013
SEMO Box Score | MT Box Score | SEMO Photo Gallery | MT Photo Gallery
COLUMBIA, Mo. - In its final tune-up before Southeastern Conference play, the Mizzou volleyball program improved to 15-0 while winning the Mizzou Classic with wins over SEMO and Middle Tennessee on Saturday (Sept. 21) at the Hearnes Center. The Tigers swept SEMO, 3-0 (25-13, 25-14, 25-13), while hitting a school-record .606 early in the day and came back to sweep Middle Tennessee, 3-0 (25-22, 25-13, 27-25), in the championship match. Seniors Molly Kreklow (Delano, Minn.) and Lisa Henning (Blue Springs, Mo.) were named Co-Most Valuable Players of the Tournament while Whitney Little (Keller, Texas) and Carly Kan (Honolulu, Hawaii) were named to the All-Tournament team.
"Obviously I am happy with how we have played so far this season," head coach Wayne Kreklow said as his Tigers are off to the program's best start since 1982. "That match against Middle Tennessee was an adventure and is the type of match that we can expect in SEC play. They were big and athletic and they posed a lot of matchup issues. We lost our composure late in the third set, but I was pleased with how we came back to win that one. We have a lot of things we still need to improve on, but it was a successful non-conference season and I think we are ready for SEC play."
In all, Mizzou hit .457 on the weekend and averaged 14.75 kills per set, raising its national-best hitting percentage to .393 through 15 matches. Henning, a two-time All-American, played up to that billing all weekend as she averaged 4.33 kills per set on .512 hitting while pulling in 20 digs with nine blocks and three aces. Kreklow was outstanding as usual, averaging 12.33 assists per set while quarterbacking an offense that hit .457 over the four matches on the weekend. Little may have put together her best weekend of the season, hitting .653 with 32 kills and 21 total blocks (four solo, 17 assists) as she averaged 1.75 per frame. She raised her national-best hitting percentage to .592 over the weekend. Kan was also sensational all weekend with 31 kills on .373 hitting with 20 digs, also landing on the All-Tournament team as well.
In the first match of the day against SEMO, the Tigers set the tone early as they did not commit an attack error on their first 32 attempts of the match and wound up tallying 47 kills on just 71 attacks with only four errors, good for a school-record .606 attack percentage. The previous best mark was .595 against Morgan State in 2000. Mizzou hit an eye-popping .727 in the first set and .652 in the third. Henning paced the Tigers in the first match with 13 kills on just 19 attacks, matching her career-best hitting percentage of .632, which she happened to set Friday against Samford. Little was also sensational against SEMO with 10 kills on just 11 attacks without an error while pitching in five blocks (two solo, three assists). Kan had eight kills on .500 hitting while Kreklow assisted on 40 of Mizzou's 47 kills. Junior libero Sarah Meister (San Diego, Calif.) led Mizzou with 14 digs in the sweep of SEMO.
In the nightcap against Middle Tennessee, Mizzou again hit very well with a .384 clip as it has now hit above .380 in 10 of 15 matches this season. Henning and Kan led Mizzou in the match with 15 kills apiece on .367 and .467 hitting, respectively. Little pitched in seven kills on 15 errorless attacks as she did not commit an error all weekend in four matches. Heading into the weekend, Little had the fewest errors in the nation at just six as she will remain in that spot this week. She also had six blocks in the match, including a match-clincher in the third set on a solo stuff to close out the third set and seal the match with a 27-25 set win.
The Tigers were very good defensively again against Middle Tennessee as three Tigers finished with double-digit dig totals, led by 13 from Kreklow as she tallied a double-double with her 37 assists. Meister pulled in 12 digs and Henning pitched in 10 more, good for her third double-double of the season.
Mizzou opens SEC play next Friday (Sept. 27) against South Carolina at the Hearnes Center. For all the latest on Mizzou volleyball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on twitter @MizzouVB.

If you enjoyed Battlefield 2142's epic Titan game mode, you were probably happy to learn last month that DICE was resurrecting it for Battlefield 4's upcoming Carrier Assault gametype. Now, DICE has provided more details about what the mode will offer in a new blog post on Battlelog.
"Carrier Assault is an homage to the Titan game mode of Battlefield 2142, but this time the all-out war rages in the South Chinese Sea, and your objective is to destroy the enemy team's carrier before they infiltrate and destroy yours," DICE said.
How does a match of Carrier Assault work exactly? There are two ways to destroy the enemy carrier: you'll need to either fully control the map or assault the carrier using infantry. Rounds are divided into two stages, which begins with map control and ends with a full-scale carrier attack.
"Both teams start on their own carrier and race to control the missile launchers placed on the map, by capturing the control points near them," DICE said. "This will automatically launch missiles towards the enemy carrier throughout the round, eventually destroying its hull and making it open for infantry attacks."
After this happens (for one or both teams), the carrier assault portion of the mode begins. You can either drive a boat out to the carrier and enter it that way, or land on it from above using a parachute. Once you get inside, you'll need to destroy two M-COM stations. If you're successful doing that, or if your get the carrier's hull health down to 0 percent, you'll win.
Carrier Assault mode for Battlefield 4 will be available through the game's Naval Strike expansion, which launches later this month first for Battlefield Premium members. In addition to the Carrier Assault mode, Battlefield 4's Naval Strike DLC includes four new multiplayer maps, five new weapons, two gadgets, and a new hovercraft vehicle that can traverse both land and water.

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Anna Lorraine
The best tour I ever had! The time allotted for is enough to explore the beautiful city of Quebec and looking at the Montmorency Falls is a bonus. This tour is highly recommended.
I would highly recommend this tour. Katia is the best, Alain was a wonderful driver
The tour guide is very professional, we like this trip very much. Thank you!
Well organized from registration to return delivery of participants. Personnel involved quite gentle and willing, particularly bus driver and the outstanding Quebec city tour guide. Very satisfied. Would definitely recommend. Suggestion: serving trays at bus seats.
It was fun at the same time very informative/educational for us.
This was a very long day but well worth it. Only thing is there was no time designated for a lunch break, so make sure you have something with you or you can pick up something on the go.
We absolutely loved Quebec city, Roch our guide was very cool and informative. I will definitely be one of the 85% who return to see more of this amazing city.
The guide in Quebec City was great! He was very knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of Humor.
I highly recommend this tour.
Although under wintery conditions it was a excellent tour. A skillfull driver got us there and back safely.
The guide in Quebec loves her city and informed us on both current and historical facts.
Due to her information we were able to see both all highlights as well as bits of the St-Patrick parade.
A trip to remember and recommend.
Funny, interesting and absolutely well organized. I would definitely do it again and suggest it to others. 5 stars from me!
The tour bus driver and tour guide both did an outstanding job. I would definitely recommend this tour to a friend.
We needed to get from Montreal to Quebec for our cruise. We were picked up at our hotel in Montreal, given a great tour of Quebec, and dropped off at the door of our Quebec hotel! We were VERY pleased! The tour guide and the bus driver were both excellent.
Our experience with the tour was great! Everything was on time. It was very relaxing to be taken around the city rather than trying to figure it out on our own. We enjoyed the tour guide. He was very interesting and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
This was an excellent tour and would highly recommend it. The bus driver and guide were very informative. This city is well worth a visit
Picked up on time. Driver/tour guide Serge excellent. Very knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommended.

two questions for you my good Ferric, when you say players C and below do you mean Class C and below USCF? and when you said Perelshteyn has the same study does that mean he has videos on this system as well? thank you
I have played this system many times, most players C and below really have problems with it. Very highly recommended. Eugene Perelshteyn has the same study.
awesome. i really like your explanations.
I wanted to thank you, Roman, for making this video, as in the past I had a great deal of trouble playing against the French, and now I look forward to it! I have had great results so far playing your system. However, I recently played a game that I lost in the 6... f6 variation, as after I played your 7. Qe2 he played 7... Qc7 which I think gave him an advantage. Should I look into playing 7. Bb5 instead? Or do you have some good response to 7... Qc7 that I don't see? Thanks again!
I dont think white has so much after 7...Qc7 in the 6...f6 variation.
Thank you. Nice system. Thankyou
Thanks so much! I've been having a hard time lately with the French but I've written down all these lines you discussed and I'm ready to try them out !! Also did the Caro 1 and 2 that you presented ... I'm loving these lines because they're easy to remember and make sense ... Thank YOU!!!
In this variation, it is very easy for black to go astray with "normal" French-looking moves. Hence, the chances are white will emerge with a significant advantage after the first 15 moves. I have been a French/Advanced player since I first saw black playing e6 and d5. I think this system is fully playable, even by GM's!
Thank you Roman for this wonderful piece of instruction!
Vlad G.
would be worried about blacks connected center pawns in this variation. Don't see much advantage for white.
Finally something I can learn quickly against the French besides the KIA. Thanks!
I had f5 played against me and I just hacked the centre with pieces and won easily
Oh wanted to add: LOVE THE SYSTEM. Have played it twice and won both times. The first using exactly the kingside attack you suggest and the second actually check mated him using the exact bishop sacrifice you suggested. Love it when your oppening preparation takes you all the way from move one to checkmate lol! And it took me half hour or so to learn. Very good!! Now what about that 6... f5 move I was worried about??
Very nice, but I got a little problem - I looked up this line in the database and found the move 6 ... f5 and it seems like white has to take it, although I did think about 7. Bb5 or something. Black has scored very well with this line and it seems to close down all whites ideas of counterplay on the kingside in one stroke unless we take it which then lets black out of his box with some rapid development of his own, still a pawn up!! Anyone got any ideas how to deal with this.....
Wow! This is so packed with interesting variations that I'll have to watch it several times.
Nice system, thanks.
I'm happy not to get an advantage necessarily with white (hard against the French anyway!) but am a little concerned about maybe getting a disadvantage if, as mentioned above, black takes the d4 pawn firstly with the knight instead of the c5 pawn.
Also the Na3, Bxa3 system you mention later in the video worries me - as a mere club player I tend to avoid mashing my pawn structure like that - is there really enough compensation?
However, it's an interesting system I will study and use in the future.
Maybe Roman you would like to do a follow-up lecture or two, treating this one as an overview, and tackling the various lines one by one more comprehensively.
This lesson is comprehensive and convincing.
Your system is more than I could imagine before watching it.
Thank You!
by GM Roman Dzindzichashvili
Grandmaster Dzindzichashvili reveals a variation in which we can play for a positionally sound, structured, and yet aggressive plan with the white pieces against the French Defense. As Roman instructs, the ideas that white is able to execute with a lead in development and space advantage on the kingside, seem to make up for the sacrificed d-pawn in many variations. Not to mention that a "less known" variation such as this one is always played with practical value... Enjoy!

NEW TECUMSETH - New Tecumseth CAO Terri Caron says a handful of department changes New Tecumseth council is set to approve will help the municipality "get the best bang for its buck."
With the changes, department heads would be referred to as directors, replacing their old titles as managers.
Caron said changing staff titles will in no way lead to higher salaries and shouldn't be viewed as promotions.
"In terms of additional costs for the title change, there is no additional costs associated with that because the managers are currently at the same level of responsibility and are at a market compared with the existing comparable municipalities," she told council.
Renaming the department heads brings New Tecumseth in-line with the naming practices used by other municipalities in Simcoe County, Caron added.
"Almost every other municipality in Simcoe County refers to at least a number of their department heads as directors, so when our director of planning goes up to a county planning directors meeting, he's one of about two or three that are there as a manager and the other department heads all have managers reporting to them," she said.
The town could also be shuffling its resources to create a new Economic Development department, which will also look after communications services and be headed up by a new director, replacing the old position of Economic Developer Officer.
Council is also in favour of bringing on a fulltime communications coordinator, which up until now has been part time position.
Caron said these changes amount to a re-juggling of the town's existing resources and won't result in additional costs that haven't already been budgeted for.
Coun. Paul Whiteside said he supported the organizational changes, but preferred to wait until next year's budget talks before creating the new fulltime communications coordinator position.
The salary for the newly created director of Economic Development and Communications position is $119,836, plus another $26,235 in benefits. The fulltime communications coordinator salary will be bumped to $48,519, with another $13,264 in benefits.

text: Okay long story short. I have been struggling with weight all my life and it has reflected poorly on my grades for the past 5 years!!!!! I know I have the potential to do waayy better. Every semester I say that I will be well organized and balance school with working out and weight loss, but every semester my grades suck. So this summer semester I am putting the extra effort to lose at least half my weight before school starts because I feel like I can't progress without my extreme body issues being resolved.It is either I am doing well in school but gain enormous weight or lose weight and my grades fall. That being said I don't feel the need to talk to a professional because I know what the answer for myself will be. But I want to know is there anybody else life being sabotage by their weight because I am feeling very alone on this topic.

Bull elk rutting activity has begun in Yellowstone National Park, so officials are warning tourists to be extra cautious around the large animals.
Bulls are much more aggressive toward people and vehicles this time of year and can be a threat to individuals and property. Several vehicles are damaged by elk every year, and occasionally people are charged by elk and can be injured. Visitors and residents are asked to use caution when walking near elk and to look around corners before exiting buildings or walking around blind spots.
A dedicated group of park staff and volunteers can be seen patrolling areas like Mammoth Hot Springs when elk are present in an attempt to keep elk and visitors a safe distance away from each other. Park regulations require visitors to stay a minimum of 25 yards — the length of two regular school buses — away from most large animals and a minimum of 100 yards — the length of a football field — away from bears and wolves at all times.
Area residents are reminded that during this period, it is not uncommon for bull elk to mock fight with many types of household items found in resident's yards. As a consequence, bull elk often get household items wrapped around their antlers. This can result in bull elk getting tied to each other, or to brush, trees or other objects, which can lead to their death. During the past few years, bull elk have had to be captured to remove extension cords, clothes lines, shrubbery baskets, leashes, wire, nets, cloth bags, swings, hammocks, coaxial cable and badminton nets (complete with poles) from their antlers. During the fall rut, residents are asked to make an effort to remove all such items from their yards when not in use.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Hi, I am Mike Rankin, and welcome to InDesign FX. In this week's video we'll take a look at a very unexpected use for a Drop Shadow, making text look like writing on a chalkboard. Normally you think of a Drop Shadow is something that makes things darker, but the fact that you can apply any color and any blending mode to a Drop Shadow makes it a much more versatile effect, so let's see how it's done. I'll go to the next page in my document where I have a blank chalkboard, I'll take my Type Tool, click and drag out a large frame, and I'll just type FX Quiz Today! Select the text, I'll press Command+6 or Ctrl+6 to highlight the text controls in the Control Panel, I'll change the font and make it much larger and center it, switch to my Selection Tool, and I'll just move it in place, I'll slide it over, and now we'll apply some Effects, we'll apply that Drop Shadow.
So I'll open up the Effects, and I'll change the Transparency from Normal to Screen, apply Drop Shadow, and I'll change the Blending Mode from Multiply to Hard Light and a light color that's 15% tint of black, click OK. I'll change the Distance to 0 so the Drop Shadow is exactly where the text was, I'll turn off this setting, Object Knocks Out Shadow, I'll increase the Spread to 40%, and I'll also give it some Noise, about 20% to roughen up those edges and click OK.
So there is a basic chalk effect applied to some text, but you don't have to just apply it to text, you can apply it to anything you put on this chalkboard. So if I draw out a new frame, I'll give it a stroke and right now it's set to black, but again, I can go to my Effects Panel, I'll change it from Normal to Screen, and what I can do is select this text and grab this fx icon and drop it on top of that new frame, and voila! Now I have the chalk effect applied there.
Furthermore, I can make this into an object style so I can just apply it with a single click to anything I put on this chalkboard. So with it selected, I'll go to my Object Styles Panel and just click on New Style, I'll also hold down the Option or Alt key so I can name it, Chalk, and now I'll just take the Pencil Tool and draw out some squiggles and I can apply the chalk object style, and there you go. Just like writing with a piece of chalk.
In this video we saw the power of blending modes. So with them we were able to make text invisible but still display its Drop Shadow, and we were able to make that shadow a light gray color and blend it with the detail of a blackboard beneath it. We also saw how to reuse rather than re-create effects by dragging the fx icon and by creating and applying an object style. I am Mike Rankin, and I'll back in two weeks. Thanks for watching.

19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power in us who believe, according to the working of his great might | 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, |
20 which he accomplished in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, | 20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, |
21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come; | 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. |
22 and he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, | 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, |
23 which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all. | 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. |

Not everyone is a Peeping Tom, but the LG Fridge Voyeur campaign shows that many people do harbor some peeper tendencies, especially when it comes to food. This ad campaign turns refrigerator occupants into alluring morsels of desire, from which people will find challenging to avert their eyes.
Conceived and executed by Y&R, an ad agency based in Sao Paolo, Brazil, the LG Fridge Voyeur campaign promotes the company's door in door refrigerator. It essentially boasts a see-through door that allows people to peep in whenever they want. Calling its potential consumers "Fridge voyeurs," the ad campaign scoffs at the idea of denial, stating in its tag line, "You have always been one."
The LG Fridge Voyeur campaign was photographed by Roberto Donaire and directed by Felipe Pavani.

That's because they are so maligned, oppressed, cheated, and downtrodden. It is only fair they use Machiavellian tactics in | Read More »
