Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1: Review
review Samsung has launched a slew of Android-based tablets over the past several years as it continues its mission to take on market leader Apple with its dominant iPad. But the Korean electronics giant continues to fall just short of success. With its stylish stylus, will the Galaxy Note 10.1 be the model to break Samsung's tablet drought? Read on to find out.
The overriding feeling you get when you pick up the Galaxy Note 10.1 for the first time is that it's what happens when the excellent design sense evident in Samsung's stellar Galaxy S III line meets the world of generic Android tablets. The Galaxy Note 10.1 is composed of most of the same materials as the Galaxy S III, with our model having a back and border surrounding its screen of nice white plastic, with a border surrounding the entire package and small highlights elsewhere being made from the same smooth metallic substance found on the Galaxy S III.
The fact that Samsung has taken this approach is fair enough; like Apple with its iPhone and iPad line, it's logical that Samsung wants to maintain its design philosophy between the various devices in its line-up. And it's worth noting that this is precisely what Apple has done with its iPad mini line; the bevelled edged of the new smaller iPad are more reminiscent of those found on the iPhone 5 than on previous Apple iPads.
However – and this is where the Android tablet ethos comes in – the Galaxy Note 10.1 doesn't feel like Samsung has really thought through how this approach will leave the user feeling in the case of a larger tablet form factor. On the Galaxy S III, Samsung's materials feel entirely appropriate for that device; a smartphone needs to be as light as possible these days. But when you pick up the Galaxy Note 10.1, you're left with the feeling that it's just one step above the previous generation of mediocre Android tablets. It's intangible and hard to explain, but the feeling is there; this device doesn't feel premium. We felt OK holding it, but we didn't enjoy the fondling experience, unlike with the iPad mini and Nexus 7, for example, or even the Galaxy S III.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 boasts a plethora of ports and connections; a phenomenon also found on other, previous generation Android tablets. The left- and right-hand sides of the tablet are port-free, which makes sense, as these are probably the parts where your hand will be holding it most of the time, and the bottom of the device contains just the tablet's power and USB synch slot (note: This isn't a standard microUSB outlet but a specialised Samsung model with an input similar to Apple's original iPad/iPhone/iPod jack before Lightning replaced it). But on the top can be found a microSD card slot, a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, a volume rocker and a power button.
The Galaxy Note's stylus, which Samsung calls an 'S Pen', slots into the device on the side at the bottom, and its screen has a couple of nicely sized speakers surrounding it. There's a camera on the back and above the screen and a few Samsung logos.
The weight of the Galaxy Note 10.1 is actually a little lighter than that of the iPad: The Wi-Fi version clocks in at 597g and the 3G version at 600g, while Apple's newest iPads come in at 652g (W-Fi) and 662g (3G). It's enough to make the Galaxy Note 10.1 a little nicer in the hand than the iPad weight-wise.
Overall, the Galaxy Note 10.1 feels like most other Android tablets in the hand, but with a slide edge. It's a little cumbersome and feels a little cheap, but it's more stylised and comfortable than other Android tablets we've tested. The exception this rule would be the Google Nexus 7 (manufactured by ASUS), the original Kindle Fire and the original 7" Galaxy Tab (which launched back in 2010 at a price premium which locked it out of the market). We're not sure why, but we don't really feel as though the Android manufacturers out there have really nailed the 10" tablet form factor yet.
If you compare the Galaxy Note 10.1's design to that of its biggest rival, the iPad, the Galaxy Note 10.1's slightly lighter weight and grippy plastic make it a tad more comfortable in the hands. However, the iPad's premium feel brings it out ahead of the Samsung model in some respects. We're not sure which we would prefer to use in practice from this perspective.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 improves on most of the features which you expect to come with an Android tablet. For starters, its processor has a lot of sheer kick to it; it's a 1.4GHz Exynos quad-core model, appearing to be the same one found in the Galaxy S III. It comes in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models and its microSD card slot can take up to 64GB of extra space. Its main camera is a five megapixel mode and its front-facing camera a 1.9 megapixel model. Bluetooth, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi is present, including support for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, and the battery is a beefy 7000mAh model. The 3G model supports HSPA+ up to 21Mbps in the 850, 900 and 2100Mhz bands which are used for 3G in Australia. 2GB of ram is included.
On other areas, however, the Galaxy Note 10.1 disappoints. It only runs version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) of Google's Android, although Samsung is currently deploying the vastly improved Jelly Bean version to users, and its screen resolution is only 1280×800 – far below the 2048×1536 resolution of Apple's 'Retina Display' on the iPad. And no 4G model is available in Australia.
Perhaps the main feature of the Galaxy Note 10.1 over rival tablets, including Apple's iPad, is the fact that it ships with its S Pen stylus. And much of the tablet's interface and bundled apps have been generated with this feature in mind. The tablet comes with a dedicated 'S Pen Experience' series of apps designed specifically to take advantage of the S Pen, ranging from the S Note app to the S Planner calendaring system and Adobe Photoshop Touch.
OK, let's get the obvious out of the way, and then we'll move on to the specific S Pen features of the Galaxy Note 10.1.
Firstly, the battery performance of the Galaxy Note 10.1 is solid, as we have come to expect from 10.1" tablets with their ginormous batteries. You can expect to run the Galaxy Note 10.1 for the better part of a week without the battery giving up, even if you're watching sporadic video and using intensive apps such as games. As with the iPad, the Nexus 7 and virtually every other popular tablet out there, these devices are large enough that they can contain a beefy battery. We had the Galaxy Note 10.1 for a few weeks and only had to fully recharge it once after its initial charge. You'll be able to leave it on your desk for most of a week and come back to find it still with charge. Don't worry about this aspect of the tablet.
The second aspect of performance we need to talk about is the user interface. Frankly, in this regard, we still haven't really met a 10" tablet that we really like. Android has gotten a great deal more consistent, fast and usuable with recent updates – the Ice Cream Sandwich version made Android really usable for the first time on 10" tablets, and Jelly Bean supercharged the Nexus 7 so much when we tested it that we're really keen to see what it can do with the 10" form factor when it comes to the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Nexus 10.
However, as reviewed (with Ice Cream Sandwich), the user interface of the Galaxy Note 10.1 is just not that great yet. Samsung has layered a lot of custom apps and its TouchWiz interface on top of Android, and we found the whole experience a bit laggy and jaggy.
There are two factors at play here. The first is that, in our opinion, mobile manufacturers just do not seem to be really understanding the 10" form factor yet at a deep level. This applies to the iPad as well – if you discount the many specialised iPad apps and look at the operating system itself, in many ways, the iPad's interface is just a blown up version of the iPhone's. And in Android that factor is magnified. We think many of these niggling issues have been fixed with Jelly Bean, but our Galaxy Note 10.1 didn't have Jelly Bean, so it's hard to know.
The second is that despite its solid CPU, some aspects of the Galaxy Note 10.1 appeared a little jaggy and slow. The tablet's dual-app feature, which lets you run some of its apps side by side with half a screen each, is noticeably laggy, and while most apps perform as you expect, you don't feel like you're using a 1.4GHz processor when navigating around the operating system and performing basic tasks. In comparison, the Nexus 7 which we recently tested was absolutely silky smooth and a delight to use; so we put this factor down to Samsung's custom UI and apps and the lack of Jelly Bean underneath it all. Perhaps patches will fix this issue down the track.
Now to the S Pen.
In general we've never had a huge use for styluses on tablets; in the past they haven't functioned that well. That's why we were surprised by how well the S Pen works with the Galaxy Note 10.1
The tablet is surprisingly nuanced; when drawing or writing, it really picks up on how hard you're pressing on the screen and mimics the feeling of a real pen, pencil or brush quite well. We had a blast taking notes using it and drawing stick figure images; your reviewer is no artist, but the S Pen is sensitive enough to bring out creativity from anyone. There's a lot to be said for analogue user input in an age where almost everything we do is so digital. Your reviewer has been operating a paperloss office for three years or so; using the S Pen with the Galaxy Note 10.1 brought back that feeling of fluidity into our thinking.
When thinking about the S Pen, it's important to realise that the device is fundamentally different technology-wise to the way that you can draw images, even using a stylus, on the iPad. Using the Note 10.1 and the S Pen was more reminiscent of the Wacom pads which have been so popular with digital artists for years (and in fact, we believe it's based on similar technology) than dragging your hand or a stylus across the iPad, which can be used for this kind of work but wasn't fundamentally designed for it. We tend to think of the iPad in terms of its digital apps; using the S Pen with the Galaxy Note 10.1 was a much more natural experience for some things. It's really cool when you find yourself scrawling notes across other documents on the Galaxy Note 10.1, for example, or just doodling idly while on the phone ☺
The handwriting recognition is also quite good; not perfect, and it has its quirks, but if you are the sort of person who likes that kind of thing, the Galaxy Note 10.1 does it well enough to be functional, which is more than we can say for more attempts we've seen.
There are two caveats to all of this: Firstly, it did seem to us that the apps which Samsung included for the S Pen were kind of rudimentary. The PC and Mac ecosystem has had dozens of complex applications serving this need for years, Corel Painter being one good example; in comparison, S Note and Photoshop Touch are OK, but seem quite basic, given the sophistication of the hardware and software integration in the S Pen and Galaxy Note 10.1.
Secondly, as with all stylus inputs we've seen, there is a slight delay between when you do something with the S Pen and when it hits the screen. This can be milliseconds when you're drawing or sketching, or it can be a second or so if writing fast. It's enough so that you can't just write as you would normally – you need to get used to this slight delay and account for it. Realistically, however, most digital artists of any kind or those who like taking digital notes are already used to this kind of thing; and the Galaxy Note 10.1 is pretty standard in this respect.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 is certainly a mixed bag. It's not a standout tablet which immediately grabs you, like the Nexus 7 has so many people. And it's not anywhere near being a true rival to Apple's iPad; it has a ways to go in terms of its software development before it gets to that point. However, the Galaxy Note 10.1 is still a very solid Android tablet which we would place above most of the rest of its 10" Android competitors. If the superior Nexus 7 and 10 models hadn't already launched, it would be close to leading the pack.
For those who are really interested in being able to use a stylus with their tablet for real work or play, the Galaxy Note 10.1 should be on your list for consideration: And make sure you install Jelly Bean as fast as possible. For everyone else, we suspect you'll be better served by an iPad, or a Google Nexus 7 or 10.

"We're not sure why, but we don't really feel as though the Android manufacturers out there have really nailed the 10" tablet form factor yet."
I'm assuming you haven't held a Nexus 10 in your hands yet?
Spoiler Alert: You'll like it!
PS: Yes the stylus is in fact a Wacom digitizer.
So far all the galaxy note 10.1 that i have held in my hand were poorly constructed. the seams didnt meet and weren't flush. It felt like a cheap product. the galaxy tab had a much better build quality.
I had a play in store with this device at the Samsung display counter and was really imlressed. I think it would be the perfect companion for my Note 2. Short proprietary cable annoying but I live with that on my Note 2. Battery life on my Playbook is short and that is a really annoying hamstring. No complaints with any of the Samsung gear here. I think its come along way and suits me. I like the interactive stylus which takes practice and application from the user. I like this product as it is big, bright, very good build quality and Android is intuitive to use.
Nice Design…too bad it is not what is advertised.
I received the Galaxy Note 10.1 as a gift. There is no manual (had to battle my way thru Samsung Support to be able to find the manual of 240+ pages)…the mini manual gives you basics only…not a set-up or actual use.
Using he MAIN Screen…great….apps are preloaded on pages three thru five!!
Try to create a Samsung account, or Google account….no luck (using the directions from the downloaded to my home computer) manual.
I guess that with all the new Technology….from overseas / not US… a company is not required to make sure that their device actually works, or has any form of easy use.
Heck….it dvertises the fact you can draw or sketch….nice….to badf there is no app (must have to buy that from the store)…is you can set up an account!!
I will continue to fight my way thru….so I can actually use my tablet,….but
This will be the last SAMSUNG product I will buy
64Gb… no and from what I have read it only comes with 16Gb internal with up to 32Gb external support meaning the micro sd slot and its 1Gb of ram not 2Gb so bad review get your facts straight
Just to correct someone who said the review was bad due to technical errors,
The galaxy note 10.1 has 2gb of memory and a quad core 1.4ghz processor. The galaxy tab 2 10 has 1gb of memory and a dual core 1ghz processor.
The note also can take up to a 64gb micro sd card on top of internal flash storage.
Great product but, i wouldn't spend so much on just a tablet! I would rather prefer the Ramos W30HD, which not is more powerful, but also a lot more reasonable priced.

Nairobi, Kenya
Your short article on rinderpest incorrectly stated that the virus does not infect wild animals (In Brief, 8 February, p 11). In fact, many wild ruminants (such as buffalo, kudu, eland, giraffe, wart hog and bushbuck) are extremely susceptible to it. There have been at least four major outbreaks in eastern Africa this century affecting wildlife on a large scale.
A rinderpest outbreak in southern Kenya/northern Tanzania has already killed 60 per cent of the Cape buffalo and 90 per cent of the kudu in the Tsavo ecosystem spanning that border.
It does appear that the virus does not remain permanently in wildlife populations as it does in cattle, but it can sweep through them for a period of up to two years, causing high levels of mortality.

The Hebron Christian School Eagles were happy to see a close game go their way, while the Starkville Christian School Cougars fought back, but couldn't close out.
In boy's Christian school basketball action prior to the Christmas break, Hebron defeated Starkville Christian 48-46 at the Cougar Cave.
SCS rallied from a 28-18 halftime deficit to take a 42-40 lead on a basket by Ben Jamerson with 4:40 remaining in the game, but the homestanding Cougars were out-scored 8-4 down the stretch and a winning shot attempt by Chris Horstmeyer fell off the mark.
""It was my fault at the end because we ran out of timeouts," Starkville Christian coach Mark Horstmeyer said. "I tried to tell them to make sure Caleb (Jordan) gets the ball at the end and they didn't hear it.
"What we talked about is when I say something on the sideline, it's like a boss at work. When they say they didn't hear, well, you've got to listen. If you do that at work, the boss will say you go find another job tomorrow. We're trying to relate these instances on the court to every day life and put it into practice."
The Cougars jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two free throws by Paul Michael Calhoun and a bucket by Jamerson.
After Hebron scored its first basket of the game, Jordan scored to give the Cougars a 6-2 advantage.
The visiting Eagles held 10-point leads of 17-7 after the first quarter and 28-18 at halftime.
Jordan launched a 3-pointer at the buzzer to close the gap at halftime.
Starkville Christian out-scored Hebron 20-10 in the third quarter to tie the game at 38-38.
"I liked the poise in coming back," Mark Horstmeyer said. "We didn't have two of our starters in Jesse (Little) and Austin (Foxx) and it took a little bit for other guys to step up, but they held their own and came back there."
Jordan led the Cougars with 15 points, while Calhoun had a double-double of 14 points and 14 rebounds.
For Hebron, Will-Corbin Rogers scored 16 points and David Kinard was also in double figures with 10 points.
Coach Tri Nason said his Eagles, who improved to 7-6, were rewarded for putting forth the extra effort.
"It was just hard work," Nason said. "You get in a close game like that, it depends on the five out there and what they are willing to put out to get it. The five out there decided to go after it.
"We've been losing a lot of close games and to win one is always good for us. Winning one right before Christmas break is even better."
Collin Moore scored 10 points as Hebron also won the junior varsity boys game 36-33.
Girls Game
Hebron Christian 55,
Starkville Christian 26
The visiting Lady Eagles jumped out to a 13-0 lead after the first quarter and never looked back.
Tori Nichols led Hebron with 16 points, while Alaina Hill added 15 points.
Sydney Whitehead hit three 3-point field goals in the fourth quarter for the Lady Cougars and finished with 11 points. Hannah Buckner was next in the scoring column with eight points.
Heather Koehn, who had three points in the varsity game, led Starkville Christian with 10 points in the junior varsity contest, but the Lady Cougars lost a 33-20 decision. Rebekkah Falkner had 15 points for the Lady Eagles.

It tells the story of Elsa, a princess from the land of Arendelle endowed with inexplicable, ice-emitting powers that shame her parents. In childhood, she injures her sister Anna during snowy playtime, and the half-stone trolls beseeched with healing Anna's wound ask if Elsa was "born" or "cursed" with her gifts. (Fans of the similarly queer-friendly X-Men saga will note some striking parallels: Elsa develops a can't-touch-this mutation a la Rogue, while Anna's trauma leaves her with the Marvel character's white-streaked hair.) Mom and Dad do acknowledge that Elsa was born this way, but after having Anna's memory wiped, they nevertheless urge Elsa to remain in the family's castle, its locked gates signifying the girl's closed-off, guilt-ridden heart. "Conceal, don't feel," the princess is taught to tunefully recite in the film, which is based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen, and hinges its chief conflict of eternal winter on the dangers of emotional suppression.

This animated musical recalls a recent op-ed piece by writer and mother Joy Martin-Malone, who professed why drag queens are better role models for her daughters than Disney princesses. A perfect essay for the post-Brave era, which at last seems ready to decry Disney's longtime trend of male-dependent beauties, Martin-Malone's rant lamented her toddlers' embraces of Ariel and Cinderella, and assured she'd never endorse their waiting for someone else to make their dreams come true. Better to take after the work ethic of RuPaul and her pupils, the mom argued. While it does nothing to help the Mouse House's other problem of protagonist whitewashing, Frozen could be the rare Disney-princess flick that Martin-Malone, and those like her, deem worthy of their girls. Voiced in adulthood by Idina Menzel, Elsa, now queen, sees her secret spilled in humiliating fashion, leading to a kingdom-fleeing that's marked by shame and, finally, liberation. Building herself a mountaintop ice palace that gives Frozen's animators a workout, Elsa belts and struts her way through a gotta-be-me power ballad, and though the film ultimately insists that Elsa not be a fierce queen, but a magnanimous one, the moment is unmistakably drag-esque—a self-styled fabulization.

Perhaps it's appropriate that Frozen doesn't become remarkable until Elsa's rousing coming out, but that doesn't help the overall weakness of the movie's first act. The prologue involving Anna's injury fires off foundational plot points like a gatling gun, and it's alarmingly nuance-free, even by old-school Disney standards. What immediately follows is as transparently inept as it is naggingly expositional, with Elsa conveniently tucked away to make room for Anna's characterization, and scenes like one that snakes through a town of gabbing civilians, just so each can serve up a different piece of necessary narrative. Most egregious are Anna's early exploits; voiced as an adult by Kristen Bell, she's handed forgettable songs about the collateral suffering she doesn't understand (she, too, has been locked in the castle, alongside the sister who shuts her out), and implausibly falls for handsome Prince Hans (Santino Fontana) at Elsa's gate-opening coronation. Once the ostracized Elsa's frosty id plagues Arendelle with sub-zero temperatures, and Anna literally heads for the hills to hunt her down, the hasty Hans courtship is cheekily ridiculed by Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), a burly ice salesman who proves helpful in the search. But while Kristoff's knowing jokes may let Frozen retract Anna's regressive, insta-love delusions, it can't repair the subpar music, bumbling dialogue, and half-hearted scene-setting that comprise the opening chunk.

In fact, though Jennifer Lee is credited with penning the entire script, as well as co-directing with Chris Buck, the disconnect between what precedes and follows Elsa's escape is extreme enough to suggest each part was written by someone vastly different. The goings-on of Anna and Kristoff's quest are fresh and funny, particularly when they come across Olaf (Josh Gad), a Mr. Potato Head-like snowman with an endearing, blissfully ignorant hankering for summer. And while they're initially explored with thin familiarity, the film's empowering themes of feminine strengths and bonds eventually flourish in novel fashion. There are men among Elsa and Anna, but none are essential to either woman's self-realization, nor do men hold the key to Arendelle's revival. Beyond allowing Disney to release a film that's apt for the holiday season (and one that, to boot, is notably secular), it's never clear why Elsa could summon the tundra in the first place, just as it's anyone's guess why Arendelle's theme music sounds African in nature. But what matters most is something that would surely please Disney-princess-fatigued moms: These sisters, both queens in their own rights, are doin' it for themselves.

Frozen keeps this trend alive with a 3D princess tale loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. Little girls and their moms will appreciate the story's light-hearted female empowerment theme along with its accent on sisterly love. Two sisters, the melancholy Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) and her younger sister Anna (Kristen Bell), grow up in a gigantic castle after losing their parents in a shipwreck. Elsa has special abilities which she has tried to keep hidden lest anyone consider them to be "dark powers." She can create snow and ice by merely moving her hands. During her coronation, she is unable to stop this magic, and everyone in the kingdom learns of it. The new Queen runs off in retreat from her royal duties. Meanwhile, even though Anna has fallen impulsively in love with a dashing and confident Prince Hans (Santino Fontana), she decides to go on a quest to find her sister. Along the way, she is assisted by Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), a wilderness savvy mountain man, and his emotionally sensitive reindeer Sven. They are accompanied by Olaf (Josh Gad), a silly snowman who tags along and even sings an ode — "In Summer." The most memorable original song is "For the First Time in Forever."

Everything old is new again in Hollywood these days, so it only makes sense for Disney to attempt a revival of the animated musical brand that dominated the early '90s. The canny nostalgia play of Frozen arrives just in time for Thanksgiving, catering not just to kids but also the parents who grew up quoting dialogue and humming tunes from Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Aladdin. The downside of trying to rekindle that unique magic is that Frozen feels a little like a Las Vegas tribute show: it hits all the recognizable beats without quite capturing the soul of what it's paying tribute to. Very loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's classic story The Snow Queen, Frozen stacks the deck with big bold songs, scheming villains, wacky sidekicks, cuddly characters (ready made to become holiday merchandise) and not just one but two (!) new Disney princesses. Parents won't complain about anything that holds their interest while also keeping kids entertained for a couple of hours. Still, even with eye-popping animation, solid voiceover performances and a feisty feminist slant, Frozen falls short of recent Disney princess high points Tangled and, especially, the live-action Enchanted, instead delivering mixed results closer to The Princess and the Frog and Pixar's Brave.

The story begins in promising fashion with young sisters Anna (initially voiced by Livvy Stubenrauch) and Elsa (Eva Bella) sneaking out of bed for some late night mischief in the family castle. Elsa, the elder of the two, isn't just an average princess. She was born with the ability to conjure snow and ice with her bare hands. That means the sisters can skate, sled or build a snowman whenever they please, much to young Anna's delight. Unfortunately, Elsa's incredible gift soon feels more like a curse when an ice-related accident leaves Anna injured and their parents forbid Elsa from using her magic. A terrified Elsa locks herself away in her bedroom, essentially abandoning Anna whose memory of the event has been erased by a kindly troll king (Ciaran Hinds). Not that Anna (now voiced by Kristen Bell) is willing to give up on her sister so easily. She's delighted when Elsa (Idina Menzel) comes of age and ascends to the throne, but trouble arises again when Elsa's powers go public during an argument over Anna's love-at-first-sight infatuation with charming visiting prince Hans (Santino Fontana). Elsa stuns her assembled subjects with angry bursts of ice and snow, fleeing to the mountains and literally freezing over her entire seaside Scandinavian village in the middle of summer. Local dignitary the Duke of Weselton (Alan Tudyk) proclaims Elsa a monster, but Anna knows better and resolves to track down her sister and bring her back to the kingdom.
Download Frozen Movie (2013) Or Watch Frozen Online hassle Free. This is where Frozen descends all too willingly into less interesting and more conventional territory. Elsa, the most compelling and conflicted character, is disappointingly marginalized when the focus shifts entirely to Anna's standard hero's quest. Despite the fact that Elsa is the character with the story's dramatic arc, Anna is the plucky, spunky and cute one, so she gets the spotlight. She also gets the love interest—not just Hans, but also orphaned mountain man Kristoff (Jonathan Groff)—and the wacky sidekick, an irrepressible talking summer-loving snowman named Olaf (Josh Gad). Elsa gets a power ballad. If that sounds out of balance, it is. Elsa and Anna's bond is the crux of the story, but never receives the loving care and attention afforded in Disney's significantly superior previous feature, Wreck-It Ralph. The lackluster character work here is all the more surprising since it comes from Wreck-It Ralph co-writer Jennifer Lee, who gets sole screenplay credit on Frozen and also serves as co-director with Chris Buck (Tarzan and Surf's Up).

(2013) Or Download Frozen Movie hassle Free. Of course, Frozen is also unapologetically a musical, which would be easier to celebrate if the songs outshone the story. Co-songwriter Robert Lopez contributed to irreverent Broadway hits Avenue Q and The Book of Mormon, but the middling adult contemporary compositions he offers up here (composed with his wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez) owe a far bigger debt to the blockbuster, Wicked. Menzel predictably belts over Elsa's soaring, sappy, "Let It Go," an anthem of banal self-acceptance that can't make up for the movie's lack of interest in her character. Most of the songs are pleasant if forgettable, though Anna and Hans share an enjoyably quirky duet titled "Love is an Open Door," and Olaf's show-stopping comedy number "In Summer" provides one of the few moments when Frozen fully lives up to the Disney's classics that have come before. A more substantial mix of tradition and innovation is on display in the seven-minute treat Get a Horse!, which accompanies Frozen as a bonus opening short. The latest Mickey Mouse adventure combines the original 1928 designs of Mickey, Minnie Mouse, Clarabelle Cow and the villainous Peg-Leg Pete with 21st century 3D animation techniques in a witty delight perfectly timed to Mickey's 85th anniversary.

A TINY asteroid that buzzed Earth last week highlighted our planet's vulnerability to objects whose peculiar orbits put them in a game of hide-and-seek with us.
An Earth-based telescope spotted the 10-metre space rock hurtling our way just three days before a near miss on 13 January, when it flew by at just one-third of the distance to the moon (see Object headed towards Earth an asteroid, not junk). The asteroid is never expected to hit Earth and would burn up before hitting the ground in any case. But its unusual orbit (see diagram) seems ingeniously designed to evade our surveys. It is likely that a handful of objects large enough to cause harm are hiding under similar circumstances.
Large asteroids are relatively easy to spot because they reflect the most sunlight. But smaller asteroids - which can still damage Earth if they span at least 30 ...

Learning Services coordinates academic support services, including peer tutoring, disability services, and individual academic support for all students. The following outlines our policies regarding the services we offer.
Peer Tutoring
As a supplement to regular class work, students may elect to work with trained, faculty recommended Peer Tutors. Peer Tutors help students master course content, prepare for exams and develop more efficient study strategies. Students with questions should visit the Peer Tutoring webpage or email with Kristin M. Sites, the Assistant Director of Learning Services.
Disability Services
Mount St. Mary's University recognizes that students with documented disabilities may require reasonable accommodations and appropriate academic adjustments as stated in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Current and valid documentation of disability, including functional limitations and the impact of disability on academic performance, is required. Students with disabilities should email the Director of Learning Services or call (301) 447-5006.
The director of Learning Services reviews the documentation, makes accommodation decisions and communicates with faculty regarding student needs. Students are empowered to be self-advocates and to discuss the specific nature of their disabilities and needs with their professors. Students who qualify may receive accommodations such as copies of class notes, extended time on exams, the use of Kurzweil for exams and reading assignments, and other support services. All accommodations are based on individual needs; all files and records of contact and communication with Learning Services are confidential. Mount St. Mary's is committed to providing equal educational opportunities and full participation to all qualified students. No qualified student with a disability shall be excluded from participation in any university program or activity, denied the benefits of any university program or activity, or otherwise subjected to discrimination with regard to any university program or activity. This policy is congruent with the University's commitment to nondiscrimination for all persons regarding employment, access to facilities, student programs, activities and services.
Academic Probation/Dismissal Alert
The associate provost recommends that students on academic probation or dismissal alert participate in a goal planning program through Learning Services. Learning Services staff members will meet with and help these students to create attainable academic goals; they will also provide these students with guidance and instruction necessary for academic success. These services (along with all of Learning Services' resources) are provided at no additional cost to students.
Study Strategies Assistance
Any Mount student is able to meet with a Learning Services staff member as needed for assistance with the various study and academic strategies required for success in their courses. We can assist students with strategies for specific courses, and we can also provide broader help with skills that affect all courses. This includes techniques for time management, organization, learning styles, note-taking methods, test-taking tips, and textbook reading strategies. You can find additional resources on our study strategies webpage. To set up an appointment with a Learning Services staff member, please stop by our front desk in the first floor of Archbishop Borders Hall, call our front desk at (301) 447-5006, or email Learning Services directly.

The Top-Selling Craft Beers in America
By William Brand
Wednesday, October 20th, 2004 at 11:28 am in Uncategorized.
I love statistics baseball or beer. Today, were talking beer, of course, and Adams Beverage Group, an alcohol research company, based in Norwalk, CT has a new research report with some encouraging news for those of us who prefer full-flavored beer over yellow rice and corn beer.
Sales of what Adams calls "microbrewed beers rose 3.4 percent in 2003, while overall beer consumption fell 0.3 tenths of one percent. Light beer sales also rose 3.4 percent.
The Adams Beer Handbook costs $595 _ its used mostly by large marketing companies and ad agencies. However, in a phone interview, Tiziana Mohorovic, the company spokeswoman, provided a bit of info.
Top selling microbrewed beers in bottles (not, apparently draft sales), according to Adams:
1. Yuengling Porter, Yuengling, Pottsville, PA. 18.1 million cases, 1,313,497 barrels. Founding 1829, this is Americas oldest brewery and its easily the oldest porter in the U.S. Dark, sweet, delicious. ***
2. Sam Adams Boston Lager, 9.4 million cases. At 13.78 cases per barrel thats 682,148 barrels. Some brewers love to hate Jim Koch and Boston Brewing, but I believe hes done a great service for great American beer. This is a beautifully made, European style lager. ***
3. George Killian Red, Coors, Golden, Colo., 8.2 million cases, 595,065 barrels. This may be a loose, sweetish, interpretation of an Irish Red Ale; it probably has some corn mixed in with the barley, giving it a "light taste, much revered by large, American brewers. But in a pinch _ say, when stuck somewhere in Iowa, It will do. **
4. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Chico, CA. , 7.16 million cases, 519,593 barrels.
There are days when I think I can never drink another beer with Sierra Nevadas signature, floral, Cascade hops _ then I happen on one at a party , try it and still love it. Bottle conditioned; all barley malt. A real American classic since 1981. *****.
5. Fat Tire Amber Ale, New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, CO., 3.2 million cases, 232,220 barrels. People love this beer. Ive seen cases of Fat Tire fly out the door in places as diverse as Albuquerque, NM and San Francisco. Personally, New Belgium makes many other brews that I like better: Loft, Biere de Mars, for example.
But its impossible to fault Fat Tire: Straightforward, well-balanced, very drinkable ale. Another All-American beer. ***. WILLIAM BRAND

Leicester have completed the signing of Everton striker Jermaine Beckford for a fee which could rise to £4million.
The Foxes have secured the 27-year-old on a four-year contract and he leaves Goodison Park after just one season in the Barclays Premier League, where he scored 10 goals in 38 appearances.
Despite his goals for the Toffees he never really convinced in the top flight and the Goodison Park club decided to cash in when the npower Championship side improved their original bid of £2million from a fortnight ago.

Obviously this is just a guess, but I had a similar fault on a car in my shop once ... In that case the intake for the fuel pump had become detached from the pump. I don't know how your pump is positioned, but most FI pumps have a screen/filter on the intake side that sits at the lowest point in the tank. If the pump and strainer became separated, you could have fuel in the tank but it would not be drawn up because the pump is sucking air as it sits slightly higher in the tank. Obviously if this is the case, the symptoms will repeat at the same fuel level every time.
If it were a venting issue you could run with a low fuel level and the cap off and be fine...
From a diagnostic point of view, I'd be looking into whether it looses spark, fuel pressure or injector pulse when it dies, or perhaps some combination, but you'd be best to let the dealer sort it out I think. If their answers seem vague then try to takle it yourself.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Quoting Jay Strauss (firstname.lastname@example.com):

According to "man 5 apt_preferences", this is the _correct_ way to solve
the problem. (Me, I'm a lamer and thus quit studying the manpage the
moment I found a NON-standard solution to the problem that works. More
about that near the end.)
> But, I don't have a /etc/apt/apt.conf [...]
> Am I supposed just create this file myself?
I created an /etc/apt/apt.conf file for a completely _unrelated_ reason,
to accomplish this bit of coolness:
:r! /etc/apt/apt.conf
DPkg {
// Auto re-mounting of a readonly /usr
Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/home/rick/aptdpkgro.sh";};
Pre-Invoke {"mount -o remount,rw /usr";};
Post-Invoke {"/home/rick/aptdpkgclean.sh; mount -o remount,ro /usr";};
/home/rick/aptdpkgro.sh is:
while read debname; do
pkg=$(dpkg --info $debname | sed -n 's/^ Package: *//p' | head -1)
(dpkg -L "$pkg" 2>/dev/null || true) | grep "$pathmatch" |
while read file; do
[ -f "$file" -a ! -L "$file" ] || continue
dir=`dirname "$file"`;
base=`basename "$file"`;
inode=`find "$file" -printf "%i\n"`
(cd "$dir" && ln "$base" ".${base}.dpkg-ro-used.$inode")
echo "$dir/.${base}.dpkg-ro-used.$inode"
done >>/var/lib/my_ro_hack.todel
/home/rick/aptdpkgclean.sh is:
cat /var/lib/my_ro_hack.todel | while read file; do
[ -f "$file" ] || continue
N1=`find "$file" -printf "%i\n"`
b=`basename $file`; d=`dirname $file`
XF="${b#.}"; XF="$d/${XF%.dpkg-ro-used.*}"
N2=`find "$XF" -printf "%i\n"`
if [ "$N1" != "$N2" ] && ! fuser -s "$file"; then
rm -f "$file"
echo "$file"
done >/var/lib/my_ro_hack.todel.new
mv /var/lib/my_ro_hack.todel.new /var/lib/my_ro_hack.todel
Anyhow, my lame, slacker, non-orthodox solution to the problem is to NOT
declare a default release in /etc/apt/apt.conf, but instead put these
three lines into /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 50
Then, /etc/apt/sources.list gets lines for both testing and unstable,
then I do "aptitude update"[1], et voila. Works for Me<tm>.
The full, very verbose explanation for why that works is apparently in
the apt_preferences manpage, but, being a lazy git, I've never taken the
time to properly read that.

Studio Room Lights
Started Mar 9, 2013 | Discussions thread

I shoot with studio flashes or window light. If its window light, i turn the room lights off. With studio flash, I have them set so I get f/11 at ISO 100, that's enough that even bright room lights have pretty much no effect on exposure. So probably fluorescents in any business building, get them daylight balanced for better color (judging things like wardrobe and makeup.)

SALT LAKE CITY -- We're just hours away from Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg between the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake. Remember LA advance with a win or a draw at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Below are a series of links, matchups to watch and a predicted score.
*There may be a risk for the LA Galaxy to be defensive-minded against an RSL, but the Galaxy are confident that they'll be able to attack a desperate RSL side.
*Could the Galaxy have a blueprint for success in their victory over Salt Lake in April?
*RSL are confident that their history of coming up short in big games will be changed on Thursday, but they'll do so without midfielder Ned Grabavoy.
*LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan previews the second leg.
*Lastly, my Three Points to the match.
Marcelo Sarvas vs. Kyle Beckerman
Stopping Beckerman will be key as he provides the main conduit between RSL and their attack. Preventing him from enjoying success is key to LA earning a victory.
Omar Gonzalez vs. Nat Borchers
Watch these two on each Galaxy set piece chance as Borchers and company have resorted to extremely physical tactics to limit Gonzalez's effectiveness.
Luis Gil vs. Todd Dunivant.
The wily youngster will look to cause consdierable problems for the Galaxy left back, but Dunivant will need a strong performance to keep him at bay.

Video Preview: LA Galaxy Insider previews the Western Conference Semifinal second leg against Real Salt Lake
Ahead of Thursday's match between the LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake, I previewed the match in this video piece for LAGalaxy.com
Check it out below..
SALT LAKE CITY -- Winning decisive matches at Rio Tinto Stadium have been a major problem for Real Salt Lake, but RSL aren't anticipating the same type of struggles in Thursday's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg against the LA Galaxy.
In recent years, RSL has been faced with several opportunities to win silverware or close out a postseason series at Rio Tinto—most notably: the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League Final against Monterrey and the 2013 U.S. Open Cup vs. D.C. United—and fallen short each time.
This time around with LA up 1-0 on aggregate heading into the second leg, Salt Lake need a two goal victory to advance outright or a one goal advantage and risk penalty kicks. Even though RSL has not enjoyed much success in important matches at the stadium that they once labeled "the Fortress" they're hopeful of advancing against LA.
"I think that there's definitely magnified when it's a home game, but for us the way that I look at it, we're doing something good to get opportunities to win on our home soil," said RSL captain Kyle Beckerman in a conference call with reporters earlier this week. "There's been some good games where we've won… I feel confident, we keep putting ourselves in the opportunities and we're going to succeed in one of these.
"It's a big task. They're a very dangerous team and they'll get the best out of themselves in the playoffs. It would have been tough regardless, but we just have to go in with a confident mindset," Beckerman continued. "We'll see what happens early… but the advantage is there. It's at our place, we have the altitude so we're feeling alright and really excited to get to Thursday to see what happens."
NOTES: RSL will not have the services of midfielder Ned Grabavoy due to a hamstring strain. It's likely that spritely midfielder Sebastian Velasquez will take his spot in the lineup…A near sellout is expected at Rio Tinto Stadium on Thursday with more than 70 LA Galaxy fans in attendance.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy may need just a draw to advance to the Western Conference Championship, but the team isn't anticipating putting in a measured performance against Real Salt lake at Rio Tinto Stadium—they're going for the victory.
With LA up 1-0 on aggregate in their Western Conference Semifinal Series heading into the second leg, the onus will be on Salt Lake to attack early, but with RSL expected to dominate possession, the Galaxy should have opportunities on the counterattack. Although that is the expected narrative to start, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena would like his team to wrestle control of the tempo from the start.
"The way that you start the game is important. You have to be good and solid to start the game. We'd like to be ahead at halftime, that's one way to look at it," said Arena." If we can do that we'll be in really good position."
The stats confirm Arena's comments as the Galaxy are 13-2-3 in MLS play in 2013 when scoring first and 8-1-0 when leading at the half. The lone defeat when leading at the half came on June 29 at Stanford Stadium during their dramatic 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes .
Although the simple strategy would be to pack numbers in the box and hold the slim lead, Landon Donovan is confident that the Galaxy aren't going to Utah to simply hold a lead, but add to it.
"We have to be very good defensively, but we're not going there to defend for 90 minutes, we're going there to try to keep the ball and move the ball and put them under pressure too," said Donovan. "You'd do think that the game is going to look open at times and the added pressure of having to win is the expectation.
"I'm sure that they're not going to go crazy because the reality is that they just need a goal at some point," added Donovan. "For us the mentality is to be aggressive and get around the ball and get after the ball, but also when we have chances to possess and go forward. We're going there to win the game, we're not going there to get a tie."
CARSON, Calif. -- In the latest edition of View from the Booth, Cobi Jones and Joe Tutino analyze the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg against Real Salt Lake.
Check it out below..
CARSON, Calif. – Former LA Galaxy assistant coach Gregg Berhalter has returned to the coaching ranks after being appointed head coach and sporting director of the Columbus Crew on Thursday.
The former LA Galaxy defender and longtime U.S. international was not well-hyped candidate for the position but beat out reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Brad Friedel, former Columbus Crew legend Guillermo Barros Schelotto, and interim head coach Brad Bliss.
After serving as a player coach during the Galaxy's 2011 MLS Cup winning season, Berhalter moved on to manage Swedish side Hammarby IF –becoming the first American to manage a European club-- where he managed until the 2013 campaign when he was dismissed with an 18-11-16 record over two years.
It's good. It's a great appointment and we wish him the best. He's a good young coach and he's got a great future, I'm hopeful that it is a good opportunity for him," said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena. "[He had a] thirst to learn and a lot of energy to learn about his profession [as a player]. He's got a good foundation in coaching now and the essential tools to be a good head coach. He has the makeup of a coach for sure."
Associate head coach Dave Sarachan agrees.
"He's a student of the game. He loves the game and he's very passionate, and very driven. I think that he's now had some experience as a head coach which I think that he's going to learn from," said Sarachan, who said that Berhalter's 'outside the box thinking' was key to his development as a Galaxy assistant. "Having played in our league, he has an understanding of what it takes to be in our league. He checks a lot of the boxes that it takes to be successful."
CARSON, Calif. – For the LA Galaxy to advance to the Western Conference Championship for the fifth year in a row, striking a balance will be key.
A balance between the defensive mindset needed to preserve their 1-0 aggregate lead on Real Salt Lake and the ability to hit home side on the counter when they press forward. The transition game has been vital to the team's recent success over the past four years and will once again be important on Thursday at Rio Tinto Stadium.
"It's very critical in the first 15 minutes of each half. If we can control the past 15 minutes then the game is set up a little bit and the speed comes down a little bit. Counterattacking is a weapon for us because we have players fast enough to do this and we're going to find those gaps," said midfielder Marcelo Sarvas. "They're going to press with two forwards and depending how the game goes, they're going to put three or four guys in the penalty area. I think the most important is that when you have one chance and score then it will be a different situation."
However, they'll be taking on an RSL team that is well-aware of what the Galaxy can do on the counterattack as Salt Lake captain Kyle Beckerman reiterated in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday.
"The counter that they do is unbelievable," said Beckerman. "They don't give it away right away and they make you defend. It'll be difficult and any time that you play the Galaxy, you're going to have an eye on Landon [Donovan] and Robbie [Keane] and that'll be the same on Thursday. But only being a goal down, we don't have to get desperate right off the bat.
"We'll try to put some high pressure, but I don't feel like we're going to have to score like we have to score in the opening 15 or 20 minutes," added Beckerman. "It's a 90 minute game and we'll have time to get a goal to send it into overtime or whatever we need. It'll be key to not get caught up and give up opportunities for them to counter. We know that I'll happen, but if we can limit their chances it'll help our chances for sure."
But when the Galaxy get those chances come Thursday, they're confident that they'll be able to make RSL pay.
"We need to not give up a goal," Donovan said. "If we don't give up a goal, we advance, so that needs to be the starting point. But as the game goes on, as it opens up, as they expose themselves, we're certainly going to have chances to score."
Baldomero Toledo to officiate the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg against Real Salt Lake
CARSON, Calif. – Veteran referee Baldomero Toledo will be handling the LA Galaxy's Western Conference Semifinal Series second leg against Real Salt Lake on Thursday at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Toledo handled four games for the Galaxy this season during which the team went 1-2-1 with the lone win coming during LA's 4-0 win over the Seattle Sounders on May 26. Meanwhile, he handled two games for RSL where they racked up a 2-0 record.
Toledo's breakdown for Galaxy matches is as follows: Oct. 20 in the scoreless draw against San Jose. Toledo awarded 20 fouls and three yellow cards in LA's draw—one of which to the Galaxy. July 13 in a 2-1 defeat to the Portland Timbers. Toledo awarded 30 fouls and seven yellow cards—three to LA. May 26 in a 4-0 win over Seattle where he awarded 21 fouls as well as four cautions—two to the Galaxy—and one red card which was awarded to the Sounders. April 13 in a 1-0 loss to FC Dallas where he awarded 28 fouls, three cautions—two to the Galaxy—and a red card to LA defender Leonardo as well as a pair of penalty kicks.
Toledo's breakdown for RSL matches is as follows: Sept. 28 in a 1-0 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC where he awarded 24 fouls and three cautions—none to Salt Lake. Lastly, he officiated RSL's 4-2 victory over Portland while calling 30 fouls, six cautions—four to RSL—as well as a red card to Portland.
The complete referee crew for Thursday is below:
ASST 1: Ian Anderson
ASST 2: Mike Rottersman
4TH: Armando Villarreal
CARSON, Calif. -- The mission is simple for the LA Galaxy on Thursday: a victory or a draw will put them through to the Western Conference Championship for a fifth consecutive year.
Although LA struggled away from StubHub Center this season with a 4-9-4 record -- one of those victories being against Chivas USA -- LA's seminal road performance came on April 22 when they picked up a 2-0 victory over RSL. This win could be a blueprint for the Galaxy as they head into Thursday's second leg as I analyze in the latest Quest for Three.
"That game was different because we scored two goals and stayed in a good shape till the end," said midfielder Juninho, who went 90 minutes in the victory. "That was the key because we kept good shape and had to control all the game. Sometimes RSL pressed us, but that was normal. In that game, we did so well."
Highlights of that game can be seen below...
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's 1-0 victory over Real Salt Lake featured a pair of occurrences that was rare throughout the 2013 MLS regular season: the substitution of Marcelo Sarvas and Juninho.
Both midfielders exited the Galaxy's 1-0 Western Conference Semifinal Series first leg in the final 10 minutes with Sarvas giving way in the 83rd minute and Juninho leaving in the first minute of stoppage time. The exit was a little bit of a surprise due to the Brazilians' saying power as Sarvas and Juninho finished first and second among minutes played in 2013 and were substituted just a combined 13 times throughout the season.
However as LA look ahead to a vital second leg at Rio Tinto Stadium on Thursday that will either prolong or end their season, an early exit was necessary.
"It was a tough week. I was tired and I think that it was a good situation with [Rafael Garcia] coming on to provide fresh legs. From now, everyone on the field has to be 100 percent," Sarvas, who admitted to dealing with back issues earlier in the week, told LA Galaxy Insider. "Especially at the end of games because teams throw numbers into the box and try to put balls in the air, so you have to be able to run and be cover.
"I think that it was smart from Bruce to take me out. I'm recovering and we're doing everything to recover," said Sarvas. "I think that the key to next game is that the team that recovers and has fresher legs will have the advantage."
Sarvas' Brazilian counterpart Juninho was just as optimistic about his status for Thursday.
"I was feeling my abductor [in the first leg], but I think that was because I was tired. It was normal," said Juninho. "I don't feel anything anymore though. I just need to rest and then I'll be ready for the RSL match."

The Voice
The Voice Season 3 Live Show Top 8 Recap: How You Like Me Now?
The stakes are at an all time high, says Carson Daly, and wouldn't you know it, they really are this time! Week by week, America has watched some of the best contestants in The Voice history bring it like it's never been brought before.
No singer and, more importantly, no coach is safe this season — Cee Lo is leading the pack with three singers in the ring, Adam and Blake have two, and our poor girl Christina Aguilera is hanging tough with just one. With odds like that, tensions are high and so is the energy, so let's get to it!
But first, a strange hip hop meets pop performance of 50 Cent and coach Adam Levine's new song, "My Life." No better way to remind the world that you're still rapping than on The Voice stage, so kudos to Fi-dee's people.
Amanda Brown: "Someone Like You"
Team Adam's Amanda Brown, the background singer who's taken her place in the spotlight, was all about celebrating her independent woman status tonight. With Adele's "Someone Like You," Amanda and coach Adam were hoping to capture that same magic she had with "Dream On" a few weeks back.
Well for one, girlfriend always kills it in the wardrobe department, and tonight was no exception. Donning an all black, rocker-meets-vamp bustier and patterned pants, she delivered a dynamic vocal performance that changed up the sometimes stale competition staple.
While Christina thought it fell short of that "breakout moment," Cee Lo admired that she was still brave enough to take the risks.
Adam rightly pointed out that the coaches are always extra hard on her because she's already set the bar so high-it must be super difficult to do better than ah-mazing all the time, but she does manage to rise to the challenge every time.
Cody Belew: "Somebody to Love"
"Are you, like, super duper excited?!" asked coach Cee Lo of our favorite Voice singer with sass, Cody Belew. And knowing that Cody was singing Freddy Mercury's "Somebody To Love," that's pretty much how we felt when he stepped on stage.
Flanked by a gospel choir and appearing on a platform of stairs, Cody was so perfectly suited for this dramatic over the top song. But somehow, even though he ended up writhing and rocking on top of The Voice piano (um, is that even allowed?) — the performance had a subtle, restrained aspect that really complimented the stage theatrics.
Blake Shelton could hardly believe how far the Arkansas farmer had come since his first blind audition — several "quantum leaps," according to coach Cee Lo, if we wanted to get technical. Meanwhile, Christina just wanted him to be her drinking buddy (high praise indeed!).
There comes a point in most singing competitions where the number of filler performances begins to outweigh the decisive ones, and that's exactly where we've arrived tonight. And while Cassadee Pope, Dez Duron, Melanie Martinez, and Terry McDermott did the best they could with their group sing along of All American Rejects' "Move Along," the song was doing no favors for any of their voices, so it's best to politely, er, move along.
Terry McDermott: "Over"
Since it worked so well for Blake's other charge, Cassadee Pope, Terry McDermott's decision to sing a diddy by the "little known country singer" seemed like a no brainer. Taking on the judge's ballad "Over," Terry showed us a more soulful side of his usual fist pumping rock persona.
Adam Levine went straight for the easy shot, telling Terry that he finally understood "what that song was supposed to sound like," and Blake told him he sang it exactly like it was supposed to be done.
The slower, less obvious tune gave us a heartfelt show, but honestly, given the choice, we're suckers for that glam rock vibe Terry's mullet was so clearly made for.
Melanie Martinez: "Too Close"
Ah, teenage heartbreak is the worst. Add a nationally televised performance that very well may change the course of your life, and it's downright torture. But, somehow, young Melanie Martinez managed to channel her recent high school heartache into inspiration for her song this week.
Singing "Too Close" by Alex Clare, the folksy talent was well suited to the slightly ghoulish melody, as was the adorably kitschy wooden stage and accompanying tambourine bass line.
Christina thought the performance, though pleasant, didn't "go anywhere," while Adam thought the unlucky dude who broke Melanie's heart was probably "kicking himself" right now. Either that, or he's busy leaving her increasingly frantic "I'm sorry" voicemails and texts.
Dez Duron: "U Smile"
As the last man standing for Team Christina, Dez Duron was definitely feeling the pressure tonight. But once again, Dez was ready to deliver another fever-inducing performance that would have the tweens and, well, us adults, squealing like the fangirls we all are.
Taking on Justin Bieber's "U Smile," Dez was singing about an octave lower than the original tune, so while it took a second to get used to, once we did, it was easy to slide into the rhythm.
Cee Lo thought it wasn't his best performance, but coach Christina was busy cheering on her "complete package," aka her only package, and Adam gave props to the dude for having "no backup plan." Which is apparently a good thing in the entertainment business?
Trevin Hunte: "Greatest Love of All"
While his foray into pop music last week was all well and good, we're glad Trevin Hunte is back to what he does best. And singing the late great Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love Of All," Trevin did just that, delivering the kind of emotional performance he's become known for.
What we love most about Trevin isn't only his voice, it's the sincere and humble way the sensitive singer always presents himself — he's just a "good dude" as Blake eloquently put it.
Adam was ready to book him in this life and the next, saying, "When I die, I hope this is heaven," and Christina rightly recognized a fellow "monster talent."
After a surprise Sprint Skybox visit from Terry McDermott's family, which elicited an adorably genuine reaction from the rocker, and an enjoyable group performance of Journey's "Any Way You Want It" that frankly gave us the Amanda Brown we were looking for in her earlier solo effort, we got back to the make or break singing.
Nicholas David
If any of the contestants deserve a guest appearance from one of the R&B forefathers, Bill Withers, it was Nicholas David. The cool dude, who just found out that he was going to be a father again, was left open mouthed in the presence of the music legend, but clearly took a page out of his soul playbook for his performance tonight.
Donning an old school vibe and enlisting an old school backup band, Nicholas gave us a true to form rendition of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," delivering a new spin on the old classic.
After some random and borderline jokes by Blake, the coaches agreed that Nicholas was doing something no one else in the competition was, and on his own terms to boot.
Cassadee Pope
Closing out tonight's performances was the girl on top, Cassadee Pope. After leading the iTunes charts with last week's "Over You," Cassadee picked up the pace this time with Michelle Branch's "Are You Happy Now?" A smart choice for the former "Hey Monday" front woman, given the similarities between her and Branch's vocal styles, the edgy tone took the singer's already impressive resume to an even higher note.
The coaches all loved the smoky windblown performance, save for the bitter and off topic bashing of the famed Los Angeles venue, "The Roxy," by coach Adam — all for not giving him a dressing room back in the day. #rockstarproblems.
So what did you think of tonight's performances? Who do you think should go home tomorrow?

In what would have been music to the ears of the Japanese government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the "expansionist" ideas of the 18th century are still visible in the world — some countries "encroach" on others, some "enter the seas", and some "capture other's territory". While he did not name China, the reference to "encroachment" and "entry into the seas" is being interpreted as a reference to China's spats with Japan over the Senkaku Islands.
While there was no agreement on the civilian nuclear cooperation, the two sides noted the "significant progress" and asked their officials to "further accelerate" the negotiations with a view to conclude the agreement at an early date.

Five agreements, including on defence cooperation, health, roads, women's development and clean energy, were signed. On the US-2 amphibian aircraft, they sought "working level consultations" to promote defence equipment and technology cooperation.
