It feels strange reviewing the latest build of 3ds Max as most of my work with it in the past few years has been more on the scripting side or using it as a conversion/export step in the pipeline. I have spent over 10 years with almost equal time bouncing between Maya, MotionBuilder and 3ds Max animating and rigging so I am excited to check out the latest release. Much like the Maya Entertainment Suite, the latest release of the 2012 Autodesk 3ds Max super software mashup, will help cut the cost of buying each software separately and provide a serious set of powertools for us artists.
Because the Premium suite now includes Softimage to the bundle you now get Face Robot for dealing with complex face rigging, the simply incredible ICE visual programming system and the much envied Lagoa Multiphysics dynamic solver system written in ICE. As a 3ds Max user, why should you care? Autodesk has made it easy for you to add its very powerful toolset to the pipeline. With new one click Send To functions letting you push and pull data between the other suite software via the updated .FBX format,you and your studio can be running the same software combination that Blur Studios uses including Softimage Face Robot and ICE with flexibility of render choice in 3ds Max.
In my experience the workflow of 3ds Max matches the Softimage workflow and mindset and can be an easier transition than with Maya.
More easily take advantage of the focused toolsets in the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites Premium, with new single-step interoperability between Softimage and Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max software, and Autodesk Mudbox. Export Softimage scene elements to Mudbox to intuitively add organic sculpted and painted details, and then update the scene in Softimage in one simple step. And use the power of the Softimage ICE particle system in your Maya or 3ds Max scene.
For a more in depth review of MotionBuilder and Mudbox please read over my Maya Entertainment Creation Suite review [1] here on AWN. As of this writing there have been hot fix releases for most of the 2012 software. The nice thing is that the new 2012 hot fix patches and service packs install faster and don't require an uninstall first as they used to do for previous versions.
3ds Max 2012 First Impressions - The Launch
The first launch of 3ds Max 2012 comes up with the Autodesk dark UI scheme that, while useable is easily switched to a light UI scheme through the Customize-Custom UI and Defaults switcher. I have always liked how easy it is to store different UI schemes in Max and the other Autodesk teams could take a note from them and let users chose light or dark in Maya, Mudbox and MotionBuilder.
"Improved Startup Time and Memory Footprint" is one of the many new improvements that show up from the start. I noticed it did launch much faster than past versions, even on my older hardware, though some of the GUI like the Ribbon and the new tool Caddy (floating tool options) feel sluggish to update compared to past version of Max. I expect that this will improve with driver updates and as Autodesk gets more feedback from users, along with better graphics cards.
Once there is content in the scene, the new Nitrous viewport driver and its Realistic viewport visual style show off the new display technology. This is the "Render-quality display environment" that according to the documentation "supports unlimited lights, soft shadows, screen-space ambient occlusion, tone-mapping, and high-quality transparency, along with progressive refinement of image quality when the artist pauses". Maya and Mudbox have added viewport rendering features for 2012 but Max has surpassed them with Nitrous, allowing for faster iteration of ideas and more accurate animation feedback. On my hardware though,the Nitrious display was slow for animation playback and when I switched to the OpenGL driver and had my FPS jump from 15 to 50.
Note: Some quick tweaks for Maya users.
Because I have worked between the software enough, I head to the preferences to tweak a few settings to allow for a more Maya like user experience. (While other Suite software have hot key mappings for each other, Max does not)
Starting with Customize-Preferences, for anyone used to being able to grab the center of the manipulator and move in screen space, turn on Gizmos-Center Box handle-Move in screen space. This matches what Softimage and Maya manipulators let you do.
The other thing I like to turn off while I am in here is the white bracket display that shows up when you have objects keyframed or selected (you can turn selection brackets off per view). It creates extra visual clutter and noise and I keep it off.
Along with more accurate viewports Max gets a physics overhaul finally dropping the clunky reactor dynamics and adding in its version of NVIDIA PhysX called Mass Fx mRigids Rigid-Body Dynamics. The solver was fast to setup basic simulations and the constraints like pin and hinge work as expected. I am happy to see the built in bake functionality was quick and allows for easy editing and tweaking by hand if needed. I also like it has an un-bake functionality for getting back to the simulation. I do wish that the Maya and Max implementation was more standardized as it looks like Maya has the full Nvidia PhysX install while 3ds Max only has the ridged body portion,though you can get the apex cloth installer from the Nvidia Developer Zone.
A small but nice update for anyone that has been annoyed by the Scene Explorer updates in the past, I found it slow and difficult to use, is that it is now much faster and includes a more Maya like layout. In the past I also used a add on Max script to emulate the Outliner window in Maya, but now with minimal effort I can replicate and even improve on the functionality right here in Max. I also really like the saveable layouts and the more powerful select and search options.
Uvs and Rendering get some big love in this release as 3ds Max users get iray first. For the photo real crowed, I think this might be the new go to engine. Also if you have the Nvidia hardware with CUDA Iray will render much faster.
To wrap up rendering stuff, when Mudbox showed off Vector displacement maps everyone went ooooohhh and then Autodesk left us asking how do we render them? I am happy to say they are now supported for rendering in 3ds Max with the latest mental ray upgrade. This will let all those great Mudbox details come over for rendering without having to create huge, heavy meshes. Though if you have the ram most of the software in the 2012 suites are now powerful enough to take on heavy assets, details and all, giving you faster render times, you just have to figure out how to rig them!
And for a full breakdown of all the new features and some extra notes check out this blog post from Ken Pimentel at Autodesk [2] or just read through the help files, as I would recommend doing anyway for new and experienced users.
Animation Features
Animating in 3ds Max 2012 has gotten better with a new streamlined Unified F-Curve Editor and made both the GUI and the animation curves standard across the entire entertainment suite. Having worked between MotionBuilder and Maya and Maya and 3ds Max 2012 I really like the new standardization. Also, hopefully the new standard curve and keyframe tangent types will let .FBX data keep the exact same animation no matter which software you open it in. Another small but helpful keyframe edit tool called Regions has been added, originally found in MotionBuilder, it allows for fast moving and scaling of groups of keyframes. I did hit a bug in the new Regions manipulator tool that caused it to keep redrawing my selection area and would not let me move anything. This only happened after I used the new Track View hide controllers button but could just be a display issue. The regions manipulator is a nice addition but I do wish that it also had the numeric inputs for the scale handles like the one in MotionBuilder, maybe next year.
There are lots of tweaks and changes curve editor and I think most of them are good, animators will find the curve and keyframe tools fast to work with and should have little trouble adjusting from the past UI.
The downside with 3ds Max 2012 and MotionBuilder is we don't get the full HIK rig as in Maya but we get a much improved workflow for Biped. I am not a fan of Biped but there are many studios that use it still and being able to get motion capture on to it, accurately is important. In past versions this was a bit rough but having testing the "Send-to" MotionBuilder option, for single characters the workflow is faster. MotionBuilder opened automatically and the Biped skeleton loaded and I was able to characterize* it, animate it, bake the animation on to the Biped skeleton. Then click the "update" button and in seconds my animation was back in 3ds Max and playing correctly. This is a big win for me and many other motion capture editors/users that have to deliver work from MotionBuilder.
I am disappointed to see that other built in rigging system, CAT still is lacking a smooth workflow between the two software, as it still relies on its capture animation tool instead of being able to import FBX directly on to the CAT rig. MotionBuilder 2012 has two cat auto mapping templates and they work well. I also am not able to find any new way to access this via Maxscript thus locking teams out of being able to batch convert mocap data on to CAT rigs. I would love to find out I am wrong on this though.
*Tip: Characterization of BIP skeleton with the 3ds Max Biped Template-
Once the biped skeleton has imported, you can use the template in MotionBuilder to quickly characterize it for retargeting or motion editing but there is a bug in the template that will cause the characterization to not work when importing back to biped. First be aware the template expects the default biped names but it does not correctly map the pelvis and the biped root. The simple fix is drag in the Bip001 (root) to the character -special-hips translation slot and then drag in Bip001 pelvis to the character-base-Hips. This way when the animation is updated in max the Biped character will get the proper split rotation and translation attributes. If you change the biped names then you will have to map the character by hand but still you will have to make sure the parent COM nod is in the Hips translation slot. MotionBuilder 2012 has a much better Template editor and name extraction tool that will let you easily create templates for any of the skeletons you want.
Final Thoughts
The 3ds Max Entertainment Creation Suite 2012 for studios and individual artists is an incredible deal both for the cost savings and the range of applications included. It was not so long ago that it was enough to just have 3ds Max but the landscape of content creation has changed and having access to specialized applications for sculpting and animation are again important, offering greater artistic and creative freedoms that a single tool cannot.
There are a few catches though and some things to consider in upgrading including the rather large set of bugs in the first release that riled up the userbase on the Area forums, even though most of the issues have been quickly fixed in the service pack. With any large code change problems get fixed and new ones show up so test your hardware and pipeline accordingly.
I think that the upgrades and improvements are on the right path and many users both experienced or new to the software will find it a great new version. While the improvements to rendering and modeling are exciting, for me the unified animation system, better physics and file interoperability are excellent changes, hopefully creating fewer technical hurdles and shorter ramp up time between Autodesk software. Artists using the Entertainment Suites can focus on creating great content and not just workarounds.

A Black girl in an Asian world: educational program opens opportunity for global growth (Part 2)
ABOVE PHOTO: Taylor Allen is excited about the cultural exchange in Korea. But, sometimes it's challenging.
By Maya Allen
This is part two of the story of Taylor Allen, who is spending the next year as a teacher in South Korea as part of a Fulbright Fellowship.
African American college students make up only 2.9 to 3.5 percent in study abroad programs when last measured in 2006, according to Medill Reports, "Open Doors," which is an annual publication of the Institute of International Education. "During the same time period, Caucasian students averaged 83 percent of those studying abroad, the report states.
Allen chose to challenge the norm and she encourages her other African-American counterparts to do the same.
"I didn't come with that many expectations, which I think is a good thing," she says. "You don't want to come to a new country thinking that you're going to do specific things because that's such an exceptionalist idea, which I believe many Americans have. I came here and I immediately just had to adjust."
Allen believes experiences abroad will not only broaden one's worldly perspective, but also broaden one's understanding of one's self.
"Be open to everything when it comes to food, language, the way you dress and present yourself. You have to be completely open to changing yourself and who you are. That will allow you to have the most beneficial experience."
Allen's teaching experience has been an eye-opening experience thus far. She describes it as a "totally different world." The music, humor, and conversations are all distinctive to the Korean culture. When teaching her students, she literally crosses all cultural barriers, trying to meet them where they are in order to facilitate an enjoyable classroom experience.
"I have to be open to learning about them and what they like, which I tailor my lesson plans to." Allen's life outside of the classroom has also been an intriguing experience.
"Of course I feel like a minority, but in Korea it's interesting because they do not emphasize color and race as much as they emphasize beauty. If Koreans think you're beautiful, they're probably not going to say anything about your race. Here in Korea they seem to be very concerned with body image, so it's not inappropriate to comment on one's body or weight. My students actually get in trouble for putting on fake eyelashes or putting on makeup in class. The first thing they'll say is, 'teacher you have a very glamorous body.'"
Glamour translates into 'You are slender.' In America, if someone said, "Oh teacher, you have a nice body," it would be considered inappropriate. In Korea, her students comment on her body all the time, it's almost like a commonplace.
Allen has grown used to the everyday stares she feels walking down the Daegu streets. She actually hears, "'You are so pretty, you are so beautiful,'" verses, "'You're Black,'" she says. "I think racism and thinking about Black and White is a lot more prevalent in the United States. They definitely see me as a foreigner, but their standards of beauty supersede thinking about race. That's only because it's such a homogenous country. I stick out in a crowd but I have not been treated differently."
One of the biggest challenges Allen has faced in Korea has been depending on others for simple tasks, such as setting up her own international bank account.
"It's like a continuous war. I always tell myself I can figure it out, but then I realize that I do need help."
This eye opening experience has inspired her to make learning the Korean language her priority. She also plans to travel to at least six more South East Asian countries in hopes of learning how cultural differences impact our everyday lives.
Allen will attend law school after her fellowship and explore public interest law. "I want to study law that actually helps and works for the greater good of people. It could be human rights international, civil rights, immigration, or education. Whichever calls me, I will do."
She is considering getting her masters in public policy as well. She knows that this will empower her to think critically about situations and circumstances while also having the educational degree to become a global change agent.
"You can take advantage of being abroad for one year, but there's so much more you can learn about yourself in two years. Everyday is a challenge and I'm sure that in two years I would grow and learn so much more about myself. Living in another country for a long period of time reveals so much about yourself."
Allen has started to make a community and network of people in Korea in order to learn from them. She has a language exchange once a week where she speaks with two other Korean teachers who are learning English. Together they talk about different controversial issues in Korea, which teaches her so much about the country.
"I think those types of experiences and this type of knowledge couldn't come anywhere else when you are interacting with the people. Everyday is different and every day my interactions are different in a way that I feel is really fulfilling, even if it is challenging sometimes."
+ Top Story
U.S. President Barack Obama exhorted the world Tuesday to embrace Nelson Mandela's universal message of peace and justice, electrifying tens of thousands of rain-lashed spectators and prompting a standing ovation by scores of heads of state in a South African stadium.
He was with Nelson Mandela during all those years the anti-apartheid icon was imprisoned on Robben Island. And, like millions around the world, he has been hit hard by Mandela's death. Yet this South African was not one of Mandela's fellow prisoners. Christo Brand was his jailer.
Nelson Mandela, who became one of the world's most beloved statesmen and a colossus of the 20th century when he emerged from 27 years in prison to negotiate an end to white minority rule in South Africa, has died. He was 95.
Ailing former South African President Nelson Mandela is not "doing well" but is continuing to put up a courageous fight from his "deathbed," members of his family have told the South African Broadcasting Corporation in an interview.
A movie depicting the life of Nelson Mandela has become South Africa's highest grossing picture after its opening last week, its producers said Thursday. The film, Long Walk to Freedom, has already earned $427,000 (Rand 4.4 million), according to Videovision Entertainment.
Iran struck a historic deal Sunday with the United States and five other world powers, agreeing to a temporary freeze of its nuclear program in the most significant agreement between Washington and Tehran in more than three decades of estrangement.
Most of Nelson Mandela's handwriting is neat, but it harbors a few mysteries. Archivists sometimes struggle to decipher words in the vast body of documents that Mandela penned, and he often jotted an acronym that nobody, not even the former South African president in later years, has been able to explain.
Four investigations, hundreds of testimonies and stacks of medical reports on Yasser Arafat's unexplained death in 2004 have failed to produce hard evidence of what killed him - and findings presented Friday only created more confusion.

In the fall of 2008 Lugz shot on to the Mixed Martial Arts scene signing its first two MMA fighters, Lyoto Machida and Houston Alexander as endorsers. Machida captured the title of UFC Light Heavyweight Champion as he represented Lugz. Shortly after, Lugz signed Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. In 2010 Cain Velasquez became the newest endorser of Lugz; immediately after signing, Cain fought to become UFC World Heavyweight Champion. In 2011, Lugz continued to grow its Team – signing UFC Welterweight Josh Koscheck and UFC Light Heavyweight Phil Davis.
I was given the opportunity to review one of their boots and since my brother is a civil engineer and is always on the field I decided to go with the Classic Drifter work boot. The Drifter boots are made of nubuck leather and can be worn for winter, work or Casual Street wears for as part of your everyday attire.
The boots are really well made and feature high quality materials and craftsmanship. The Drifter features a casual and durable above-the-ankle boot design with a cushioned foot and padded collar. It also has a thick protective rubber sole that makes these boots a great mix between fashion and functionality.
While you may need to break the boots in a little to get to the comfort level you are looking for, the drifter is mainly meant for working environments and to help protect your feet while working. So, you might find them a little hard when you first wear them, but that is something that changes by wearing the boots and for what my brother reports is that they are actually very comfortable and a lot more trendy than the old boots he used to wear.
The drifter which has a military style design is made with durable Lug rubber outsole (the design on the rubber helps to prevent slipping), cushioned insole, and padded tongue and collar, for added comfort. The Drifter comes in two different colors and it is also offered in another design which is a bit taller…..They also have the women's version of these boots and I have to say they look really nice.
One other thing about the Lugz shoes is that their prices are lower than other work boots but the quality and design can compete with other brands that are sold with a higher price point. With the Drifter boots, you get the looks, style and quality without breaking your bank account! The boots can be worn all year around, so that is certainly an added bonus to the boots features. The Classic Drifter boots from Lugz have a retail price of 81.99 and are available at the Lugz online store.

Hello everybody!
I started surfing last summer. I'm really addicted to it!
Mostly I go to La Jolla Shore and sometimes other beaches in San Diego area.
3-4fts hight normally.
I'm using a Quiver Therapist 6'6" 20 2 3/4 Short board
I'm 5'9" tall 125lbs. I'm really light.
I have been to the water roughly 50 times.
I can ride some waves when it's not too big.
However, when the waves are huge I can't even paddle out because I have problem duck diving. Feel so hard to push the board deep into the water.
Is it because of the measurement of the board I'm using?
If that's really the reason, what size of short board do you recommend me to get for this summer?
What does water tight mean?
Thank you very much!!!

Race Organizer Comments Desert Oasis Calico Racing (8/29/13) Running from an Angel will treat you to cool winter desert conditions, spectacular scenery, and an unforgetable course run entirely inside the Lake Mead N.R.A. Come experience Calico Racing's Las Vegas!
Running from an Angel will treat you to cool winter desert conditions, spectacular scenery, and an unforgetable course run entirely inside the Lake Mead N.R.A. Come experience Calico Racing's Las Vegas!
What a great race! Everything they advertised and more. The volunteers were great, happy even in the miserable weather! I would like to do all of these races! Did I mention how great the shirts are?
This was my first time running a fifty mile ultra and what a great run to do. Starting with Joyce - but including a very challenging and scenic course, fantastic volunteers at well stocked stations, easy access from the airport and host hotel, a great two bag drop system, very abundant if needed medical crews, and more - I really am glad I picked Calico Running in general and this race in specific as my first (and one day later, my toes and legs are saying last) ultramarathon. Ultra runners start early and in the dark, all 28 of us, and finish after the others. But, I imagine things are even better for the marathon, half marathon, 10k, and 5k runners. I have wanted to run other Calico events, and I know when I do, to expect nothing but the same professionally run race. Some things you may want to know. I chose a race run completely on paved surfaces. That may not be for you. While there was traffic, it was very minimal. More bicyclists than cars. Miles 19 to 25 - well let's just say, you won't catch me running them in July! Race day morning was in the low 30's. I don't think it got above 45 during the day. But the two bag drop system that you access twice - out and back - allows you to make adjustments and not carry things you don't want or need. The hotel was a casino and that means very affordable, but smoky. I wish I had considered a hotel in Boulder City - still very close but less smoke - as an alternative. And, there is no crowd support. You are your own inspiration! Before flying home, I went to Hoover Dam. Wow! I will come back for the Hoover Dam marathon or the ET midnight marathon!
The 'Running from an Angel Marathon' boasts stunning vistas; a first rate organizing committee, and some fan support. The assembled field of runners could best be characterized as 'serious' and were great company to boot. I run exclusively to raise donations on behalf of 501c non-profit charities. I ran this race for 'Points of Light'; 'Cross Int'l' and 'World Food Programme'. I definitely recommend the 'Running from an Angel Marathon'. God bless and God speed to all and a safe and happy 2013.
I love the Calico Racing series! I ran ET last summer and ran the half marathon portion of Running From an Angel this Jan. What a great getaway from Washington, DC. Also, I found some additional pictures from the race- so if you didn't find yourself on the race sponsored photos maybe you'll find yourself here: http://vegaskevin.com/2012/01/2012-running-from-an-angel/
Rolling hills along Lake Mead, mild temps and Calico organization make this a great marathon run. If you are looking for cheering crowds pass. Who needs cow bells?
A beautiful course, lots of hills but the organization and company are worth it!
Great race. I only ran the half but the full was more of the same. Beautiful weather. This is a pretty hilly course so don't expect a PR. The organizer did a fantastic job in all respects. Plenty of water and Heed about every two miles on the course, Hammer gels, oranges etc about every four miles. Great enthusiastic volunteers but not very many spectators as there wasn't much room for them to park on the route. No traffic on the way to the course, no parking issues. Reasonable walk to start, plenty of shade and restrooms at the start. Less than 1k participants for all distances with less than 200 marathoners. Very cool looking finishers medal and nice quality tech shirt.
This was an extremely well-organized race, with stunning views and some challenging hills to test your mettle. The race director clearly knows what she is doing, as every aspect was covered with professionalism. This was my first Calico race, but it will not be my last.
I ran the marathon and it is definitely one of my favorites. The course is beautiful... with lots of magnificent views in the Lake Mead area! There are hills, but do not let the hills deter you from this beautiful course. Organization was top-notch with plenty of well stocked aid stations along the way. There were not many spectators, but the volunteers at the aid stations were enthusiastic. It is a small race (only 85 marathoners this year). If you like small races, beautiful scenery, meeting nice people, and do not mind the lack of spectators, do not miss this race. It was also nice to spend time in Las Vegas afterward. This was my first event with Calico Racing, and I will definitely be back. Great event!
My husband and I ran the half marathon. It was the hilliest course we've run and we loved it!! Great challenge; great volunteers!!! Perfectly organized with lots of water/HEED stops. I can't wait to do it again!!! And great technical t-shirt and medal too.

In Daniel Tammet's mind, three is a dotted green crescent moon shape, one is a sort of white sunburst and four is a blue boomerang. Every number has a distinct color and shape, making the number pi, which begins with 3.14, unfold like a beautiful poem.
For math enthusiasts around the world, March 14 (3-14) is Pi Day, honoring the number pi, which is the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle. On Thursday, Tammet is promoting France's first Pi Day celebration at the Palace of Discovery science museum in Paris.
Tammet's relationship to this number is special: At age 25, he recited 22,514 digits of pi from memory in 2004, scoring the European record. For an audience at the Museum of the History of Science in Oxford, he said these numbers aloud for 5 hours and 9 minutes. Some people cried -- not out of boredom, but from sheer emotion from his passionate delivery.
"What my brain was doing was inventing a meaning, like a story," Tammet said. "What I did was make a poem or a novel out of pi, and took those colors and those emotions and used them to perceive patterns, or at least to perceive patterns in my mind that were memorable, that were meaningful to me."
Many people around the world -- including me -- have been interested enough in this number, or in memorization itself, to see how many digits they can bank. Pi has infinitely many digits with no discernible pattern, yet it mathematically explains the shape of all circles. This makes memorizing it a difficult, yet somehow meaningful, challenge.
Serious pi memorizers such as Tammet have become fascinating subjects of study for scientists, too. They bring up fundamental questions about innate ability vs. learned skills. Are the brains of people with superior memory somehow different? Or can anyone learn thousands of random digits?
Making meaning out of numbers
Superior memorizers, according to the research of K. Anders Ericsson, professor of psychology at Florida State University, have three special skills. They use knowledge and patterns that they already know to encode information in their long-term memory. They associate that information with retrieval cues, so that they can trigger the information again. They also get faster at all this by becoming better at encoding and retrieval through intense practice and effort.
This theory appears to explain Chao Lu, who set the current world record for pi recitation at 67,890 digits in 2005, at age 23. Creating associated meanings in numbers played a big part of that. He used mnemonics relating to the sounds of numbers as well as the shapes or meanings of particular digits and images, according to a 2009 study by Ericsson and colleagues.
Strangely, if presented with one number at a time, at one digit per second, Lu's recall is no better than the average person's, Ercisson and colleagues found. With that rate of presentation of numbers, he is forced to rehearse numbers in his head just like everyone else, Ericsson said.
But with large blocks of numbers, it's a different story. Lu and a previous pi-memorizing record holder, Hideaki Tomoyori, who recited 40,000 digits of pi, have said they linked words or images to groups of two, three or four numbers. Then they created stories connecting them. Tomoyori practiced daily, spending between 9,000 and 10,000 hours total memorizing before his recitation.
A rare case was Rajan Mahadevan, who set a record at 31,811 digits of pi and did not report using any mnemonics. When tested by researchers, it appeared he sequentially memorized numbers in blocks of 10. While some argued that Mahadevan may have an innate ability to memorize, Ericsson and colleagues found in their experiments with Mahadevan that he learned his unusual methods for memorizing numerical patterns after a thousand hours of practice.
Amateurs have their own methods and perceptions. Lulis Leal, 47, of New York, is also getting in on the pi memorization action. Inspired by a CNN iReport assignment, she is up to 314 digits and recorded herself reciting them.
"It's a visual thing," she said of pi. "It's just a picture that I see -- a line going up and down."
Listening to Leal's recitation is jarring for me because I hear it in a different rhythm, as though it were a song with the down-beat on every other digit. When I was a teenager I saw a website suggesting pi could be a song, with one as middle C, two as D, three as E, etc. This helped me get up to 178 digits in college, winning me a T-shirt.
The neuroscience of expert memory
There's no straightforward control over what we remember and what we forget; we all wish we could remember some things and forget others. But it is possible to train as a mental athlete, and there are entire competitions around that, said Joshua Foer, author of "Moonwalking With Einstein" and memory championship winner.
"Why do people memorize pi? Why do people climb Mount Everest? You don't need to do it," Foer said. "There's something about wanting to see how far you can go and how much you can push yourself."
For memorization, it helps to find meaning in the information and tie it to multiple senses, such as auditory and visual, said Dara Manoach, associate professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School and researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital.
An area of the brain called the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex gets activated when you're holding information online -- for instance, keeping a phone number in your head until you can write it down or call it. Associating a number with sensations, and integrating it with existing knowledge, engages more neural systems and helps you store the information.
Studies of people with exceptional memory have not found any structural differences between their brains and those of people with average memory, Ericsson said.
But researchers have found differences in the activation of certain brain areas in exceptional memorizers. The patterns reveal at the neurological level how people with "good memory performance" are associating new information with things they already know, such as familiar numbers like area codes or other semantic information.
Ericsson's take on becoming an expert at something, such as memorizing pi, is deliberate practice. His research basis for the idea, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, is that it takes 10,000 hours to achieve expertise. But Ericsson pointed out that this was based on studies of musicians in top groups who spent an average of 10,000 hours at practice. That means some spent more time and some spent less.
"To win an international piano competition, I calculated that you need about 25,000 hours of piano training," Ericsson said.
That doesn't mean there aren't people who can just memorize numbers without connecting them with anything else -- but, said Ericsson, "so far I've yet to see anybody who is willing to be tested."

Nov 28, 2013Oblivion's script is written badly, spoiling its plot and confusing audiences. However, it is rescued by its Tom Cruise's strong acting and its dazzling visuals.
Nov 24, 2013This is my kind of movie. It's art design and visuals are amazing and the Sci-Fi story is very intriguing. I also loved the love story of it. It reminded me of Prometheus and Avatar, which I loved too. I've watched it twice now, after the first seating I would've given it a 9/10 but now I see it's more a 8/10. If you love Sci-Fi, do yourself a favour and watch it. NOW. in 1080p 3D!
Nov 14, 2013I found it very enjoyable. The script is simple, but this actually serves the film well, as it functions best as a paced, ambient experience. The images are clean and beautiful, and the film has a unique atmosphere.
Nov 7, 2013
Nov 4, 2013Watchable? Definitely. Enjoyable? Sure. Applaudable? Hardly. Tom Cruise delivers, as does Morgan Freeman, and the story is solid. The cinematography is great, even if the world is bland. But while the film succeeds in some respects, in most, it just leaves you with great longing for the sic-fi films of old, that grow more flawless through the years (alien, the matrix, district 9).
Nov 3, 2013"Oblivion" is a brilliant-looking movie. The visuals are stunning and the action is pretty well handled. The problem with it is the story. It's too dense and has uneven pacing.

Oct 18, 2013
Oct 9, 2013Oblivion totally shocked me. I walked in expecting a forgettable Sci-Fi flick. I walked out with the notion of just having seen one of the best science fiction films of the last ten years. The film really hit base with me; I loved the tone, visual style, soundtrack and the emotional human element. And man oh man... Those action scenes! Oh yes!
Sep 29, 2013Oblivion is very aesthetically pleasing; the visuals are certainly well done. However, a deeper script and more watertight storyline would help to satisfy the movie-goer looking for more than just visuals.
Sep 27, 2013Oblivion es un desastre que quiere expresar buenas cosas al final despues de un espantoso comienzo sin embargo el remedio no fue suficiente para la muerte en su totalidad de la pelicula es muy aburrida con cosas que caen muy bajo en grandes actuaciones como la de Tom Cruise
Sep 25, 2013Boring, confusing, I feel like we've seen this movie before. The story get lost beneath the style and effects and Cruise proves that he only has one character left in his aging repertoire.
Sep 21, 2013
Sep 20, 2013Maybe the ending was a bit of a letdown but the first three quarters of this are a slick, eye-popping sc-fi lover's wet dream. I liked this a whole lot. What the heck is Slant Magazine? Metacritic's scoring is, as so often, head scratching.
Sep 20, 2013I just enjoyed it. I was not looking for perfection, nor did I expect it. The movie does not present anything really new or ordinary which is fine. It is visually stunning. The world that they present (the house, the gadgets, the earth) is cool. The acting is acceptable. The story also kept me interested an entertaining movie. Enjoy.
Sep 19, 2013
Sep 14, 2013I felt motivated to give this movie a review because of how critics were downgrading it,sure it was confusing in the details,and maybe it copied a lot from other movies,mabye tom cruise showed lack of emotion,but who really cares,it was great movie,great story,a movie I watched twice
Sep 14, 2013
Sep 8, 2013
Sep 7, 2013I was really impressed with this movie. If you like movies like "Moon" then you'll love this movie. Its more for those who appreciate good acting and a enjoy a deep plot and well... are educated, something that most critics here lack.
Sep 6, 2013The visuals created by PIXOMONDO studios are just stunning. The storyline introduced in this movie was very fascinating and the soundtrack by M.8.3 just great. A science-fiction thriller of diamond brilliance. Stands with the greatest movies in this genre.
Sep 5, 2013
Sep 2, 2013Picked this movie up at Hastings. I was on the lookout for a good movie and I found one. The movie is a tad slow and I wish they wouldn't mumble so much as I felt I missed key clues but at the same time its gripping. Its a puzzle box that hooks you and compels you to open it and find out its secrets. The only way to do this is to continue watching the movie.
Sep 1, 2013I'm not saying it's horrible, I'm not saying that is bad, because of the beautiful scenery, the fantastic soundtrack, but it lacked the "plus" that makes you say that yes ...
Nevertheless, I do not want anyone to talk about it.
Everyone look and decide for yourself! -
Aug 30, 2013It's a very mediocre movie. The very last pictures of Tom Cruise are not good. He has grown up a bit and my opinion is that he has to stop acting now!!!!
Aug 28, 2013Not good, not bad. Fun, at least. The turn in the story is kind of funny, the actors choice were fitting, the visuals were pretty. But the conclusion was very poor and the enemy was so uncharismatic... 5, I will stay half the way.

really boring movie. -

Aug 22, 2013This movie...just was not good. Sure, the special effects were great, but that doesn't hold the movie up. The plot, the acting and the actors hold the movie up. Tom Cruise's acting was just bad. Morgan Freeman should not have been in this movie. The plot's full of holes, it takes twists that don't make sense or don't help with the plot in any way. This was disappointing, purely and simply.
Aug 19, 2013
Aug 18, 2013Deja-vu much? This sci-fi failed to excite me. I loved the idea of Tom Cruise, but I had a hard time enjoying this one. The plotline was cliche, oh so cliche. Throughout the movie, I sat there thinking... I've seen this movie before.
Aug 18, 2013
Aug 17, 2013Tom Cruise acting his typical type again. Which isn't bad. But it is getting old now.
Morgan Freeman hardly has any minutes in the movie, so his name is only in there to attract more people to watch it.
The story is pretty flimsy and quite predictable. A few moments that seemed to peek my interest story wise, otherwise it was pretty bland all over.
Setting is alright, CGI nicely done. -
Aug 15, 2013I went into this one with no real expectations but I ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. The film stars and ends great (but the middle drags slightly) and the story is pretty awesome. Tom Cruise is fantastic in his role and the special effects and sound are second to none! Very entertaining!
Aug 14, 2013
Aug 13, 2013
Aug 12, 2013the special effects were good but it lacks depth in the story and the script is weak Tom cruises performance was good rather than that the movie is just a waste of time.
Aug 12, 2013I think the critics have been too hard on this one. Stunning cinematography, soundtrack, Olga Kurylenko, and a plot that isn't completely predictable. Getting Tom Cruise involved may have been a mistake (he's something of a ridiculous person these days), but if you like dystopian sci-fi, you'll like Oblivion.

Aug 3, 2013Another movie that starts off promising with its solid story and good visuals, but then crashes and burns. Not only is it difficult to follow, it is so uninteresting.
Aug 2, 2013I loved this movie, I was totally immersed from start to finish. I have to tip my hat to M83 for their original score as well, it says a lot about a movie when you want to buy the soundtrack after watching it. I can't say enough about this film, it is definitely a must see.
Aug 2, 2013The beautiful scene and imagery did caught me in the seat along with the nice background music. Although I wouldn't consider it as the best, but it's definitely not the worst as there are still some unanswered details left in the movie. Nevertheless it did capture my attention with the twist in story plot. It reminds me of that similar to The Island.
Aug 1, 2013It gets better toward the end. The movie would be better without Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman. There are lots of your typical sci-fi plot twists in the movie but overall not bad for watching during the day by yourself. The plot twists rip off a lot of other movies but at the end of day it was decent scifi entertainment when I wanted some scifi. It could have been much worse.

Jul 28, 2013First hour is extremely boring and once you closed to last 15 minutes movie becomes so interesting and quite please to watch.This is a classic Sci Fi movie without adding any commercial elements to attract all kind of crowed.Writers and Actors justify what we payed for.
Jul 27, 2013
Jul 26, 2013A lovely visual experience, and a great science fiction movie. Its story is quite predictable, but is still intriguing and the viewers curiosity is maintained throughout the movie.
It's not non stop action, which is a good thing. Instead it delivers a chilling sci-fi mood. Highly recommended! -
Jul 26, 2013I expected more and I was disappointed. The story and visuals are ok but it can't compensate for the bad acting. Tom Cruise can't even manage the right facial expression for "No!" and "What?!". Watch this late at night and it will improve your chances of falling asleep.
Jul 24, 2013
Jul 24, 2013This story could easily have been a trilogy or a two part. Most charaters seem two dimensional because everything seems rushed to get the basic story told. However, the scenery is brilliant and I didn't feel the time pass.
Jul 24, 2013Why didn't i see this in theaters? Probably because it wasn't a sequel or remake. This is by far one of the best original sci-fi movies i have seen in a long time.
Jul 23, 2013
Jul 21, 2013Oblivion is one of the best movies I've seen this year. I really enjoyed the cgi effects, story kept me curious, acting was really great, acting was awesome. If you're looking for a great Sci-Fi movie, Oblivion is the best choice.
Jul 21, 2013Oblivion provides stunning visuals and a cinematography that is truly mesmerizing but as the story moves along, all the beauty begins to disappear and your left with a beautiful beginning and a somewhat lifeless ending.
Jul 19, 2013I din't actually like Oblivion. It was too hard to understand and it was kind of boring sometimes and i didn't really enjoy it. I didn't understand the whole point and what was really or not. A waste of 7 euros. Only on Dvd for the special effects which are kinda impressive. I also like the fight Cruise Vs Cruise.
Jul 11, 2013This movie fell so flat its not even funny! It had horrible acting, a boring plot and characters that no one even cares about. Don't waste your money on this movie!
Jul 6, 2013It has a cool premise and stunning FX in the action scenes, but the film feels too long and lost interest nearer to the end. Though it is nothing of a masterpiece it has some great action and a nice one or two plot twists which got me hooked for a short time. The ending was a nice touch as well, but overall the film dragged for me.
Jul 4, 2013
Jun 28, 2013Generic Sci-Fi movie with predictable Sci-Fi stuff. I could take it or leave. Maybe watch it if you happen to catch it on TV/Netflix sometime and you don't have anything better in mind.
Jun 18, 2013I give this movie a 7 for one reason, the visuals. The visuals in Oblivion were absolutely stunning, no doubt. Story line was pretty good. Acting, not bad. Delivery? Meh, could have done much better. Spent too much time explaining the setting than actually telling the story. By that I mean the first 2/3 of the movie is used to set up the last 1/3. Best part of this movie is the end. you Sally.

Jun 15, 2013
Jun 14, 2013Could've used more back-story, but all in all, I was entertained and it held my attention. Cruise played himself, as he usually does no matter what the role, but he fits well in this film. The story is not the most original, but feels more original than most sci-fi/action flicks these days. Gorgeous CGI. Not a movie I'd buy, but I don't regret seeing it either.
Jun 9, 2013How slow and redundant can you get for the first 90% and then a solid ending. Was it worth it? No. It has the ending that you wish Star Trek would have had. But sitting through exposition that takes an hour violates everything a audience expects.
Jun 4, 2013"Oblivion is no question a visual marvel and features Tom Cruise at his best. But sadly that gets clouded by its overwhelming and confusing plot while all the same running too long and it fails to capture or retain your attention after about the hour mark." C
Jun 3, 2013well its kind of hard to see movies with very few actors in them, this one had very few people. the story line was lacking i taught it was a waste of time.
Jun 2, 2013Oblivion is an incredible movie. Not only are the visuals stunning, but the story is beautiful and all the plot-lines are tied up by the end of the movie. Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman play their parts excellently, and the soundtrack is a masterpiece. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially fans of 70's and modern science fiction.
Jun 2, 2013
Jun 1, 2013This movie is absolutely amazing, the setting, the effects, the story, acting and the soundtracks are just AMAZING. You should definitely check this movie out, you won't regret it!

May 25, 2013I'm surprised this movie got such bad reviews, one has to wonder if there isn't some activist voting going on. It wasn't the best movie I've ever seen, but I love a good sci-fi flick, especially a semi-original one like this. Absolutely worth a rental when it releases on DVD and Blu Ray.

May 22, 2013Great looking but disappointing. There are some great scenes, but the plot is very derivative. A shame cos they got everything else right. SF really needs to find some new tunes. Some clunky dialogue "F**k you Sally" ugh. That being said it's so well executed that it's still ok, preferably on the big screen.
May 19, 2013It's like 2001: A Space Odyssey only not written well at all. However besides its confusing atmosphere, Tom Cruise, as usual, has a good performance to make for the plot, and the production and visual masterpiece is mind-blowing.
May 19, 2013The bad Tom Cruise acting got annoying at points but had a mostly enjoyable plot but I find some of it to be too romantic. The actual action scenes are well done, bit I would of liked to see more Morgan Freeman. I fell like it's more of a women sci-fi because of the over-done "Tom Cruise Feel".
May 16, 2013
May 15, 2013See this movie; in parts it is convoluted and the end is somewhat trite but overall it is one of the better, more imaginative sci fi outings of recent years. I loved it.
May 13, 2013A TRILLION TIMES BETTER THAN IRON MAN 3...It''s sad how movies like this get dwarfed by massive piles of crap movies like iron man 3. This movie was a sci fi work of art. Amazing soundtrack. glorious visuals. a True gem to behold for sci fi fans. If you want a sci fi flick that touches your emotions, watch this. However if your expecting some stupid action, and stupid mindless fun...this isnt it
May 13, 2013Without really being exceptionally amazing, I still found this movie pretty decent. It certainly did appear to borrow ideas from a lot of my other favorite sci-fi movies, and it didn't always execute the ideas as well as the other films did. Forgiving that, I still had a fun time.
May 12, 2013
May 12, 2013It is visually incredible and the finale is very unexpected and tom cruise is incredible but in some parts is slow. Is a movie for be see in the cinema
May 12, 2013When people write a review for the movie and give it a zero, you must ask yourself what is the motive? To be realistic very few movies deserve this rating, especially a movie with Tom Cruise & Morgan Freeman I think this was a very good science fiction movie, so many people can not be wrong...
May 9, 2013
Oblivion is a special effects extravaganza with a lot of blatant symbolism and very little meaning. It starts slow, turns dull and then becomes tedious — which makes it a marginal improvement over the earlier film. It features shiny surfaces, clicky machinery and no recognizable human behavior. It's equally ambitious and gormless.
In space, Jack hopes, someone may hear you dream. But in a movie theater, no one will see you yawn.
Yet Oblivion is worth the trip. There are two reasons for this. The first is the cinematography of Claudio Miranda.

I am looking for a North American team, preferably with the ability to play on or above an 1800 level, to begin playing competitively again with. I have not played any serious HoN in about 6 months or so. However, my skills have not faded entirely. I am still very fundamentally sound (positioning, map awareness, ward placement etc). In the short time that I did play competitively I filled the role of drafter and solo mid, but I am not limited to the aforementioned. I don't really have a preferred role, but I do have the most experience playing solo/ganker/initiator, and the ability to play support if needed. Most used heroes include: Moraxus, Bubbles, Electrician, Pollywog Priest, Pharaoh, Hag, Kotf. I would like a team that is capable of giving constructive criticism instead of raging at each other when something goes wrong.

The Regime Dragon Gang is finally dropping their long awaited and much anticipated 2 album project led by Yukmouth with one release called The Last Dragon coming on 2/19/13 followed by the Dragon Gang album on 3/12/13. Yukmouth is unleashing the entire Regime on this project on what looks to be one of the biggest independent set of albums of the new year.
featuring on the album is the whole Regime Dragon Gang
Technicians get ready for that classic Tech...this will be a dope album for sure!!
stay posted on the Regime here: http://www.facebook.com/RegimeDragonGang?ref=hl

...still wondering if the Yukmouth track feat. Tech and The Grouch video for GO NUTZ will ever be released?
I remember the Sacramento 6's and 7's tour Yuk and Lynch were at the concert and I think tech announced they just filmed the GO NUTZ VIDEO, or were going to, who knows.....
Evil Doo said:
grant rice is back?!
My thoughts exactly.
Two tracks with Tech, and the first video will feature Tech. Wasn't something said about them doing a video at a concert a few months back?

^ Yeah the video was for the original Go Nutz with the Grouch. I wonder if he was unable to shoot or something, so they used the footage with Tech and Yuk and threw on Lee Majors.
Looks like Tech is actually going to be on three... They're cheating though, throwing that 5 year old song on there, not that it's not a dope track or anything. Could of at least remixed it with a Yuk verse or something.

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn
Now that football season has started, I find myself craving snack foods more than ever. I watch a lot of sports (probably too many in truth), but often the game is background noise while I'm in the kitchen cooking/baking or doing other chores around the house. It's not very often I'll sit on the couch and watch an entire sporting event from start to finish, but I make an exception on Sundays for football. Without fail I try to watch the Patriots game from start to finish, and since I'm involved in a fantasy football league this season, I'll flip back and forth between several of the other games as well.
You can't watch football without snacks, and my snack of choice the first few weeks of the season has been french onion dip. Even though I'm completely obsessed with it right now, eventually I will get bored so I'm trying to branch out and find some other ideas. This peanut butter caramel corn practically jumped off the page at me as I was flipping through this month's issue of Cooking Light. It sounded like the perfect salty-sweet snack, and though I've made caramel corn before (and apparently chose the same dish to photograph it!), I was intrigued by the addition of peanut butter here. I didn't end up finding the peanut butter very noticeable in the popcorn, I just thought it added depth to the flavor and heightened the salty-sweet combo with the caramel. This is a really easy treat to put together though it does bake for an hour at a low temperature in the oven so you do need to plan ahead. I made a full batch so I'll definitely be snacking on some come Sunday this week.
PS - many thanks for the kind birthday wishes for Shane yesterday! I did end up picking up a small store-bought chocolate fudge cake last night so we could light candles and sing Happy Birthday :)
Peanut Butter Caramel Corn
from Cooking Light, October 2011
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 250 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the popcorn kernels and cover. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, for about 4 minutes, or until the popping almost completely stops. Remove the pan from the heat and when the popping stops, remove the cover and add the almonds.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the peanut butter and vanilla. Drizzle over the popcorn and use a rubber spatula to toss to coat.
Spread the popcorn on the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool completely before serving.

I love the addition of peanut butter! Something I wouldn't have thought of, ever--to add-but it seems so natural when I think about it. Love!

I was sad to hear that the peanut butter flavor didn't come through very much. I'm not the biggest fan of popcorn and if there were peanut butter heaven I would've jumped all over them. But I am sure it's still good.

I definitely noticed this when I was flipping through Cooking Light too. Everything in that issue looked good!
I'm a huge popcorn fan but haven't made caramel corn in way too long--I'll have to keep this in mind for weekend football food :) - October 19, 2011 at 10:38 AM

In general, I don't eat popcorn. It's just not a snack of choice for me. But when you add caramel and all those sugary additives to it, I'm all for eating popcorn. The peanut butter sounds like a an excellent idea.

Yum! I made a pb popcorn last year sometime--so good (dangerous for me good). I drizzled it with chocolate, too. The one I made was more peanutty buttery than caramelly.

Looks like a good game day snack (or reality tv snack in my case). I bet it would be tasty with a little dark chocolate drizzle. One of these days I'll have to try this so I can make popcorn that isn't from the microwave.

Ok, honestly, I freaking LOVE your blog. Your recipes make me want to move next door, or just move into your kitchen. I don't need much space. I'll sleep in the rug in front of the sink. I mean this is the most non creepy way possible.

Great post! From a fellow snacker and football lover, you really can't go wrong with caramel corn! I have a lot of Spinning Wheels game nights at my house and this would also be a great entertainment snack. They'll love the peanut butter twist, thanks for the idea!!

Three Boca Grande teens were the victims of theft while they swam in the Gulf on the afternoon of Thursday, July 12. The teens left their cell phones on their beach blanket while they were in the water and when they returned 30 minutes later, the phones were gone.
The three phones ranged in value from $200 to $300.
According to Lee County Sheriff Office reports, the teens remembered seeing a man in his mid-40s on the beach during the time that the theft took place, though they did not actually see the phones taken. He is described as medium build white male, around 5'10", with tattoos on his left arm and upper back.
The teens were advised to report the theft to their cell phone providers and given a case number for insurance purposes.

She reads people, and he reads manuals
He doesn't ask for directions, and she doesn't appreciate his advice
She is so mysterious, and he is so practical
He does not seem to listen, and she seems so emotional
The list goes on and on …
In a world where men and women are constantly told they are not different, His Brain, Her Brain shows couples what they instinctively know---men and women are different, and these divinely designed differences, when understood, make a marriage stronger and happier. Combining the latest brain research along with their experiences in over three decades of marriage and counseling, Dr. Walt and Barb Larimore explain how the unique design of each sex, particularly the unique brain and hormones of each, results in different habits, tendencies, and nuances of thought and action.
