Few people from outside North Korea ever get to see, with their own eyes, what life is like inside the country's restrictive borders _ scenes ranging from a simple haircut to a mass synchronized swimming performance.
Associated Press photographer David Guttenfelder is in North Korea and has been documenting scenes around the country that offer a glimpse into a largely unseen side of North Korea, capturing images of daily life that are at times quirky, at other times haunting.
Here's a gallery of some of his recent images.

David Dyess
Age: 43
Hometown: Stuart
Education: Martin County High School and bachelor of science in Public Management from Nova Southeastern University
Road Patrol Sergeant September 1997
Detective Sergeant January 2000- June 2003
Lieutenant for support services division June 2003 to February 2007
February 2007- current Assistant Police Chief
Personal: Married to Karen with four children
STUART — Stuart's top cop is retiring at the end of the month but city officials don't have to look far for his replacement.
Police Chief Edward Morley Thursday announced he will retire Sept. 30 from the post he's had for 13 years. About four hours later, City Manager Paul Nicoletti appointed Assistant Chief David Dyess as his successor effective Oct. 1.
"I have no specific plans," said Morley, who turns 62 next month. "I plan to get reacquainted with my wife and family. I'm not leaving the city."
Morley is leaving under the city's early retirement program and qualifies for a retirement package of 20 weeks of pay, about $44,736, and about $66,000 pay out of accumulated annual leave.
A new salary for Dyess, 43, was not available Thursday.
Morley was hired as police chief in March 1999 after 22 years with the Delray Beach Police Department.
During his tenure as police chief, he created the department's first motorcycle and gang units. In 2005, he led the police force through its first accreditation with the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement, a statewide organization that provides an impartial review of operations. The department has received accreditation in 2008 and 2011.
The International Association of Chiefs of Police in 2001 awarded the department the Webber Seavey Award for quality law enforcement. Each year the department has receives awards from the National Association of Town Watch for the its National Night Out, a public safety awareness crime prevention.
Morley said he is proud of the accomplishments but he can't take the credit.
"It's not my accomplishment; it's the department's accomplishment," he said. "Everyone of the officers, every day, pour their hearts out working for the city of Stuart."
Morley worked with city officials to create a juvenile curfew, which prohibits anyone under age 18 from being in a public or semi public place and driving in the city from midnight to 6 a.m., as a tool officers use to keep teens safe.
News of Morley's retirement was a surprise to Philip Harvey, president of East Stuart Main Street. Harvey said Morley was accessible and encouraged his officers to be the same.
"He's not afraid of you and he doesn't want you to be afraid of him," Harvey said of Morley.
Harvey, who owns a barbershop on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, down the street from the police station, said Morley would drop in to chat with customers to learn of the community's needs.
"He would sit down to talk and have a conversation with the gentlemen here. And whatever they said we needed he would do," Harvey said. "He was a great chief and I will miss him."
Dyess, 43, said he will build on the Morley's foundation of community policing.
"I would like to bring back bicycle patrol and get officers out of the cars to have more of a contact with the community," he said.
Dyess started his law enforcement career with the city in February 1990 on road patrol. The Martin County High School graduate rose through the ranks from tactical officer, road patrol sergeant, detective sergeant and a lieutenant supervising the support services before he was named assistant chief in 2007.
"He's a really good leader and he has a quiet but strong spirit," Nicoletti said.

Everyone knows that Ashanti and Nelly are a couple – and every knows that every one knows, except the lovey-dovey pair. So when Ashanti spoke about her man this weekend, she of course kept it vague and unclear, even though we all know what's going on. "Me and Nelly, we're good friends. We kick it – hang out a lot," the singer coyly revealed. "The industry is very hard, so it's good to have fun and lighten it up."
But wait! Ashanti kept going, and she dropped a tiny info bomb when asked he she and her man might be marrying soon. ""Oh no. Noooo! No engagement. But definitely in the future. Ha! Ha!"
Is she teasing us or telling the truth? Either way, we hope there's a ring involved. [People]

You just can't make this stuff up: A Michigan Wolverines football fan was found passed out in his car at a gas station after the Wolverines 29-6 defeat to rival Michigan State.
The Dearborn, MI Press and Guide first reported this story earlier today. The state of Michigan has a 'Super Drunk' standard for when blood alcohol content is .17 or above, which the fan was reportedly well over. The accused blew a BAC of .24 (which is three times the legal limit, for those of you keeping score at home) when Dearborn police found him passed out in his 2014 Chevrolet Cruze at a Sunoco Gas Station at about 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 3.
The man, 25 years old, told officers that he had drank "a lot", and had also urinated all over himself in a remarkable reaction to the Wolverines offense rushing for an amazing school record of -48 yards earlier in the evening.
The man added that he was very upset with the play calling from Michigan Offensive Coordinator Al Borges, whose Wolverines haven't scored a TD against MSU since 2011 and have lost five of their last six games against the Spartans.
The man woke up when officers arrived at the gas station, with one reaching in to turn off the ignition in his already-parked car.
Now, while we certainly DO NOT condone this behavior, any Michigan die-hard has probably had to turn to alcohol at some point this season to ease the pain.
Michigan has rushed for an NCAA record (we think) -69 yards over their last two games.

It's hard to believe that this slight, softly spoken young man has created the bright, bold images of girls that adorn the walls. Almost shaking at the thought of having to speak English with me, Badruzzaman, or Badru for short, puts up with my questions in broken Indonesian and tries to explain the story behind a painting in his latest exhibition, "My Girls."
The 29-year-old artist from Bantul, on the outskirts of Yogyakarta, blushes and fidgets nervously as he talks, until the vivacious Vivi Yip, decked out in a designer jumpsuit with blue and red racing stripes, steps in to save the day.
"Badru is very shy and introverted. You can tell a lot more about him through his drawings than from asking him questions," said Vivi, the curator and gallery owner.
"He doesn't consciously try and tell a story with each and every picture. You should look at the whole exhibition as one story told through a number of characters."
Eleven of Badru's drawings and paintings of comic-strip-style girls with oversized heads hang on the walls of the Vivi Yip Art Room in South Jakarta, challenging viewers to understand them.
They are certainly playful, almost twee, with their colorful locks and simplified features. They are surrounded by both adorable and ghastly childhood characters — a fluffy pink soft toy next to a clown who has pulled out his own heart, for example — giving the pictures an eeriness akin to a children's story with a sick twist.
While these girls cannot ignore the demons that haunt them, they sit strong in the middle of their canvases, unwilling to be nudged out of the picture. Some hold expressions that show they are deeply affected by the negative forces around them, others show resistance — but all remain sturdy and pivotal to the story.
"We can't say our enemies are necessarily enemies," Vivi said. "Sometimes we learn from them and they make us stronger. They become our greatest teachers."
This is best depicted in the painting "You Only Live Once," an acrylic that portrays a girl in streetwear and a baseball cap surrounded by demons, including a particularly worried little owl that she holds close to her chest. She is the most resilient character of them all, not rejecting her demons, but using them to give her strength.
Badru is enchanted by girls such as this one, a girl with confidence. Empowered young women often take center stage in his paintings. In "Menikmati Hari Dengan Sepotong Roti" ("Enjoy Your Day With a Piece of Bread"), the artist depicts a woman who makes the most of life and surrounds herself with positivity. Another is portrayed in "A Way Out," a red-gloved redheaded vixen loading a pistol, presumably to knock off her enemies.
"I like women who challenge the world and enjoy life," Badru wrote in the exhibition program.
Listening to Vivi and Badru talk about the artworks, the characters seem as much Vivi's creations as Badru's, inspired by a girlhood of dolls, bunnies and make believe.
Stylistically that's no surprise — playful street art with a tinge of gore is typical to a contingent of street artists from Yogyakarta. Eko Nugroho and Wedhar Riyadi are just two of many who contrast the naive with the sinister in street-art and pop-art styles.
But what sets Badru apart is his choice to see the world through a woman's eyes.
"We all have both masculine and feminine traits within us," Vivi said. "Badru is much more comfortable painting from a female perspective. He relates to the feminine more than the masculine."
Asking Badru why this is the case is not easy. He's not exactly sure but says he values women. "I will continue to observe women, understand them and love them," he wrote in the program.
There is no doubt that Badru's depiction of women is something very personal, perhaps an exploration of his own gender identity or a quest to resolve something troubling within himself.
While Badru idealizes strong, sassy girls, he also depicts girls who are disturbed or jaded. "It's Up to You" is a black-and-white painting that shows a little girl holding a lollipop. She has a solemn expression on her face, suggesting she has let the negative forces take over. With the work's title, Badru reminds us that negativity is a choice.
Similarly, "Take It or Leave It" shows an inquisitive girl getting advice from her friends.
"When you have a problem, people will try and give you all sorts of advice," Vivi said. "This painting is a reminder that you can take it or leave it. You always have a choice."
While some may find it hard to take Badru's playful style seriously, all of his works come with an inspirational message.
And the messages are not just for girls. They are also for boys who like girls.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This weekly course covers the most common questions videographers encounter when shooting and editing with DSLR cameras, from choosing a frame size and frame rate to understanding moiré. Authors Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman will also help you understand the impacts of compression and the difference between cropped (or micro 4/3rds) and full-sized sensors in cameras, and much more. This continual FAQ guide is a handy way to find the answers to the questions that plague you the most.
Rich Harrington: When it comes to getting the most out of batteries, there is a couple important strategies. Let's start with the initial charge. Robbie Carman: Yeah. Rich: You buy a new battery and a lot of people are like I'll just plug it in and use it. What do you do? Robbie: Not a good idea. Most of the batteries these days need to be conditioned in one shape or another. What I typically do is I'll plug the battery in, let it get to full charge but then immediately take it out of the charger and run it in that camera or whatever device it is. And the important thing is to let it run all the way out until it dies.
A lot of these batteries are sort of going to limit, sort of their overall life span and capacity by continually charging them when they're say 90% full, or you know, 100% full or keeping the battery on the actual charger itself. It's a good idea in any battery, and I usually try to do this once a month, once every other month is get it to full capacity and let it drain completely out until it dies. Rich: Yeah, now batteries have gotten smarter, so that advice may not be needed for every piece of electronics. Robbie: That's true. Rich: But it's still not a bad idea. It used to be an absolute critical must.
Manufacturers are trying to alleviate this, but I still find, if I take it out of the package, I want to charge it up to full before I take it in the field, because it's not very accurate. Another thing that's kind of weird is you'll often--especially early on in a battery--get false reports about how full it is or how empty it is. You'll start getting that warning much like the inkjet printer, it's almost empty. It's almost empty. If you can, run it down. Now the hard part is, is you're on set, you don't want it to run out in the middle of a take, because if it runs out in the middle of a take, well, that kind of sucks because you've lost that take. Robbie: Yeah, it's true.
And I've actually found, especially early on in life span of batteries, that the battery meter on the actual camera itself is not all that accurate sometimes. Where I've actually found the most accurate metering to be is on the charger itself. I don't know why that is necessarily, but I've gotten reports where the cameras tell me that the battery is a quarter full. I put it into the charger and it's telling me that it's half full. Rich: Yeah, and so that Nikon charter just says charging or full, but the one we have here from Canon does have a status indicator. Robbie: Yeah. Rich: Different chargers will have different options.
Now that's when you take the battery out of the package and you want to sort of condition it to get it used, if you need to on set, if you have an extra camera body, you could pop that almost empty battery in and drain it all the way, then start to charge it up. But when you're shooting, there are some important options you could change to get things right. Robbie: Absolutely. Rich: For example, one of the things a lot of people leave turned on is live view. And you know, oh, I want to see it, I want to be able to walk around on set and look at the back of that camera. I set this to power off with 1 minute of inactivity.
I also do things like turn off the Auto Image Review so when I'm shooting stills or video it doesn't keep popping the last shot up. Nothing says--especially if you're using an external monitor--that you have to even use the live view monitor. Robbie: That's a good point, Rich, and I'll add one more thing to that is that a lot of these cameras will actually turn off the whole camera, not just the live view function, but turn off the entire camera after I used it a finite amount of time. So if you're in the middle of say a set change or a prop change or a wardrobe change, and you're not actually using the camera, and if you're anything like me you probably actually forget to turn it off, after say 5 or 10 minutes you can say, hey, power down everything and it will turn off the camera and saving you some critical battery time.
Rich: Yeah, I actually tend to set mine to a 1-minute auto shut off or a 2-minute. It really depends on the style of shooting, it's up to you, but you want to get that. So make sure and even consider turning down the brightness. Remember, I do not trust the brightness on the camera monitor for really anything. I'll set my brightness to about mid-level and then rely upon things like histograms or putting the footage on an external display. You want to just use that display on the camera minimally, because that's really the thing that sucks the most power. Robbie: It does, I mean, there are some other minor things, you know, sort of the top LCD if you turn the light on, if you have a lens that has, you know, IS sort of VR image stabilization in it, that can suck a little bit of battery life, but you are absolutely right, Rich, the back of the LCD in live view mode is going to be your biggest consumer.
Now the other thing to keep in mind, too, I think it's a really good point that a lot of people don't realize, and you brought up just a second ago is that playback and review does spend some power, because not only are you using the back of the camera and the LCD here, but you're also hitting that memory card which requires some power as well. So, yeah, I know you want to always go out there and sort of get, you know, review and sort of see what you've got, but don't spend, you know, countless minutes and hours reviewing stuff and then expect your battery to be at full charge. Oftentimes what we'll do on the set is sort of take that memory card out, move it over to a laptop station so we can ingest it and review there, so we're not sucking out extra battery power out of the camera itself. Rich: So it's all in strategies to manage.
Remember, you can always plug the camera in if there's an outlet available. Make sure you have plenty of batteries charging and on hand to replace, and make some menu choices that are going to minimize just how much power is being used. With some intelligent decisions and workflow, you could dramatically extend the life of the camera, making sure that you actually have power when it comes time to get the shot.

Zhen Zhen Porridge
This is my first blog after my four-month absence. Hehehe… I'm currently in Singapore for almost a week. It's time to make a good use of the opportunity for eating Singaporean hawker foods. Yippee!
Early this week, I revisited Maxwell Road Food Center at Singapore for the famous Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice. When I was there in the food center, I was surprised to see that the queue in front of Zhen Zhen Porridge food stall was very long during lunch hour, making me wonder: "Why are many Singaporeans so crazy about Zhen Zhen Porridge? Can a bowl of porridge be that good?". My perception on porridge/congee is that it's merely a breakfast or late supper food made from rice boiled with a large quantity of water for a long time until it becomes a fairly viscous white porridge, which is often served with many condiments, such as green onions, fried shallots and soy sauce. I personally think there is nothing so special about porridge/congee, but the very long queue at Zhen Zhen Porridge stall really caught my attention and enticed my curiosity.
Though quite skeptical at the beginning, A and I finally decided to try their porridge. We spent approximately 45 minutes on the slowly-moving long queue. My order was a $2.50 bowl of chicken congee, whereas A's order was a $3 large bowl of fish congee. The congee was loaded with tons of spring onions, crispy fried shallots, sliced gingers, chai poh (preserved turnip) and a dash of soy sauce. I also ordered the congee to be mixed with century eggs (or "Pitan" eggs). The porridge just had the right texture, viscosity and consistency and was full of flavors and ingredients in every scoop. The rice was cooked until all rice grains were completely dissolved. The taste of the porridge was way above my expectation, and it flawlessly defined the real meaning of the word "congee". Also, it was a great value for the money. Both A and I agree that it's the best porridge we've ever eaten.
A's orders also included a $3 plate of Yu Sheng (slices of raw fish). The raw fish was very fresh and came in a generous portion. Almost similarly to the congee, the Yu Sheng was also garnished with loads of spring onions, sesame seeds, fried shallots, ginger slices, chillis and a bit of sesame oil and soy sauce. Four sides of key limes were also served to add freshness to the fish. The sesame seeds and oil gave enhanced fragrance to the dish. A could not slightly sense any oily taste from the fish. It was so delicious and healthy. Make sure to also include Yu Sheng in your order. Must try!
So, the verdict is that, although the wait at Zhen Zhen Porridge typically takes at least 30 minutes, it is still worth the wait. Considering many Singaporeans claiming in the internet that Zhen Zhen Porridge is the best porridge stall in Singapore, no wonder that their porridge is superbly delicious and their Yu Sheng is equally good and fresh. One minor downside is that the lady owner is quite grumbling. Hehehe…

Memory is a funny thing. It can be nostalgic and warm like a camp fire on a winter's night. But on a different occasion, it can hit you in the face like a bunch of lens flares in a sci-fi movie. Comforting… but at the same time very frustrating. I've always enjoyed making videos centred around the theme of memory. And this video follows that trend.
PENUMBRA is a recollection of the videos I've worked on the past year. The visual for this video was inspired by Jim Helton's BLUE VALENTINE title sequence. A simple effect that helps add a narrative to a video that otherwise, may very well be another "Fireworks in Reverse".
It's not a pretty video and it can be quite frustrating to watch but I hope that it would invoke some memories and create a space for you to reflect upon the year that's pass.
Now over to you guys. How has 2013 been for you? What would you remember as you look up and watch the new year's fireworks?
Watch PENUMBRA:
ps. I love JJ Abram.

A long overlooked piece of history is about to go for quite a ride in Northwest Illinois. A 180 year old log cabin is about to be relocated from a Jo Davies County farm to the Apple River Fort historical area. Historians say the fort and the cabin played unique rolls in the Black Hawk War.
It may not look like much, but this cabin is one the oldest buildings in Northwest Illinois.
"When I was a kid it was just another building that we used on the farm," explains Jeff Koester.
His farm near Scales Mound Illinois has been in the family for more than 8 decades, and right in the middle of it all was this old log cabin. Koester says he never knew much about it in fact he almost tore it down. But 5 years ago he asked local historical experts to take a look at the old building. Their prognosis: the cabin was built in 1830, more than 180 years ago.
"It's a shame to throw away history," says Koester.
Since then plans have been in the works to pick up and move the cabin to the Apple River Fort State Historic Site. Last week movers lifted and loaded the cabin onto a trailer with plans to move it this week. After nearly 2 centuries on this farm the cabin was now ready to leave.
"You know it just feels like there's something missing. But now it's been a week just sitting out here and I'm getting used to it kinda being gone, but yeah I kinda miss it," says Koester.
Today was supposed to be moving day but a missing permit means this 180 year old cabin will have to wait another week before it makes its way to a new home.
"Took a while but at least it's on wheels and it's going to head south," says Koester.
Once all the paperwork is in order movers say it should only take an hour or two to move the cabin to the Apple River Fort. For Jeff Koester the move is a little bittersweet. He knows the cabin will be put to good use, but when it goes it'll take plenty of memories with it. Some of which are already long forgotten.
"I just wish walls could talk sometimes, it'd be neat to hear stories about how this all come about," adds Koester.
Historical experts with the Apple River Fort say once the cabin arrives it should be ready for the public by this fall.

This week on That Metal Show we were joined by Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford of Aerosmith. Also joining us was TMS alum George Lynch, who stopped by and melted our faces as our guest shredder.
We had to recruit Evan Seinfeld (Attika7) for one of the toughest TMS Top 5 lists we've have ever done on the show: Best Screams on a song. There are so many shrieks and shrills out there in the music world, including the ones we can never forget, like the haunting scream in "Child In Time" by Deep Purple and "Angel of Death" by Slayer (Side note: This one still scares Jim Florentine to this day.) We could easily debate Top 5 Rob Halford Screams, not to mention those of Sebastian Bach, but then we remembered it's called the TMS Top 5, not Top 100 – So, here's our top 5:

Getaway - Belle-Ile en merOff the Morbihan coast, the rich history of Belle-Île goes back to the Celts and Romans. Vestiges of these civilisations are still to be found on the island, as well as the fortifications erected by the engineers of the Kings of France (including those designed by Vauban).
A wal
Getaway - Guérande and La Brière Regional ParkFamous for its salt marshes, Guérande is also a medieval town of considerable appeal (its high town walls are one example). Near the walled town is the La Brière Park, a nature reserve with marshes, rivers and little islands that can be enjoyed on foot, in an open carriage or barge.
Getaway - La BauleA well-known seaside resort on the Atlantic Ocean, La Baule is synonymous with an enjoyable holiday. It has a long, 9-km beach, a famous casino and a sea front reaching as far as Pornichet and Le Pouliguen: the town is entirely devoted to leisure and well-being.
Getaway - LocronanLocronan was an important religious site for the Celts until it became Christian in the 5th century due to the influence of St-Ronan. St-Ronan's church, Pénity chapel and "Renaissance" houses made of granite make it one of the finest and oldest towns in Finistère.
On the nearby jag
Getaway - Mont Saint-MichelMont Saint-Michel stands in the Bay where the River Couesnon runs into the Atlantic Ocean. Perched on a rock, once an impregnable fortress and important centre for pilgrims, it is an extraordinary testimony to medieval architecture. At the foot of the mount, the wall walk runs around the old town,
Getaway - Monts d'Arrée & The Parish EnclosuresThe highest peaks of the Armorican Massif rise up over a wild area of rough-hewn beauty between moors, heathlands and peat bogs, a land of myth and romance not too distant from Cornwall. The path to take is over Le Cragou heath and then through the valley of Yeun Elez up to the summit of Roch Tréve
Getaway - Perros-Guirec and the Côte de Granite RoseFrom Perros-Guirec to Ploumanac'h, the "Pink Granite Coast" composed of strangely-formed rocks, shaped by the sea, is teeming with remarkable sights. Along the Excise men's path is the Rocher du Diable (Devil's Rock) or the Min Ruz lighthouse and the Coast visitors centre.
Getaway - Port-Louis, Quiberon and CarnacThe Morbihan coast citadel, Port-Louis was given its name by Louis XIII. Its original town walls, historic centre and yachting harbour have definite appeal.
Further along the coast is Carnac, on the way to Quiberon. Carnac is an alignment of hundreds of menhirs, still standing after five thousa
Getaway - Roscoff & MorlaixThe Northern shores of Finistère, sculpted by the whims of the Atlantic Ocean, present a grandiose appearance with their craggy cliffs, steeply-escarped islands, isolated rocks and magnificent beaches of white sand. This is a wild and constantly-changing landscape and offers myriad excursions wheth
Getaway - Saint-Malo and CancaleAn ancient Fortress (its walls are still standing) and home port for pirates and explorers (including Surcouf and Jacques Cartier), Saint-Malo, on the Emerald Coast has a definite charm of its own.
To the north, a few cables' length from the Pointe du Groin, Cancale is its counterpart. A fishing
Getaway - Vannes and the Gulf of MorbihanThis Gulf, situated between the Morbihan coast and the Rhuys peninsula is almost like an inland sea.
