Can you begin to imagine what a person would be able to do with the use of 100% of their brain? No, because you are only capable of using 10% which makes it impossible to even fathom the intensity you will experience when Lucy arrives to IMAX® international theatres beginning August 8.
Lucy, the new thriller from acclaimed filmmaker Luc Besson that stars Scarlett Johansson and Academy Award® winner Morgan Freeman, will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX® format with select scenes captured using IMAX® cameras. Those sequences filmed with the extremely high-resolution cameras will add to the explosive action and scope of the film as seen best in IMAX theaters.
While living in Taipei, Lucy is forced into being a drug mule for a gang. The repercussions of the leaked drugs that were placed inside of her body for transport, allows her to access superhuman abilities. Quickly, her powers begin to accelerate as Lucy and her ally, Professor Norman, investigate the possibilities of her using her brain to its full capacity.

"Fear doesn't shut you down, it wakes you up. That's what makes you dangerous." – Four
"I can't emphasize enough the majesty of Gravity. It's unlike anything I've ever seen. Before the movie was even over, I wanted to watch a Blu-ray stacked with special features so I could learn about the making of the movie. I wanted to own Steven Price's dynamic, stirring score. I wanted to go right back into the theater and see it again in IMAX 3D. Longtime readers will know I have no love for 3D, and while I'm sure Gravity will still work in 2D, it's a movie where the IMAX 3D experience is ideal. Don't go for a half-measure; Cuarón certainly didn't." – Collider
Gravity is back in IMAX® 3D theatres today! Gravity is one of those films that draws you completely into the movie. Every second you feel as if you're experiencing space along with Dr. Stone. But don't take our word for it, check out select scenes from the film and read why critics say you must see Gravity the best way possible, in IMAX 3D.
"It's like when you get taken to Pandora in Avatar, it's like being taken into space with Gravity or here we're taking you into the world of I, Frankenstein it's a world that doesn't exist in the real world, you can't access it in the real world, so let me take you in the best possible way and that's with IMAX." - I, Frankenstein Director Stuart Beattie
I, Frankenstein opened in IMAX® 3D theatres today and we had to opportunity to sit down with director Stuart Beattie to discuss the making of the film. He had a lot to say about how he made Frankenstein's monster come to life on the big screen.
Before reading the Q&A below, watch the I, Frankenstein IMAX Featurette (introduced by Aaron Eckhart) where he discusses the benefits of seeing the film in IMAX® theatres.![endif]-->!--[if>
The highly-classified ROBOCOP IMAX® exclusive artwork has been revealed and you have the opportunity to have the first look.

"I had been warned that the cameras are bigger, bulkier, and more awkward to hand hold – but we figured out ways to do exactly what we wanted. After you've spent days sweating, getting bitten by mosquitoes, lugging heavy equipment through the jungle and waiting for the long turnaround time of the cameras, when you see the dailies and see how unbelievably stunning it is… that is pretty satisfying."
- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Director Francis Lawrence
Advancements in technology are continually opening up new ways for us to experience movies. At IMAX, we're committed to working with filmmakers to support and help deliver their creative vision to audiences across the globe.
In The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, Peter Jackson has pushed the boundaries of new filmmaking techniques by capturing the movie in high frame rate (HFR) 3D. Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was the first major motion picture release to use this method. In addition to the IMAX® and IMAX® 3D presentations, the film will also be shown using a higher frame rate in select IMAX® theatres.
What is High Frame Rate 3D (HFR 3D)?
Frame rates refer to the number of images (frames) displayed by a projector in one second. The current standard in cinemas worldwide is 24 frames per second (fps). HFR 3D productions of 48 fps record and play visuals at twice the current rate, which more closely approximates what the human eye actually sees. The higher 48fps rate provides enhanced clarity and reduces motion blur during action sequences, artifacts, judder and strobing.

This exclusive artwork was designed by Los Angeles artist Sergio Grisanti, who director Guillermo del Toro considers a "powerhouse of talent".
Check out the artwork below:
"I am thrilled to introduce Sergio Grisanti to the world. For years he has been a highly respected commercial artist. When I was first exposed to his art for Pacific Rim I knew instantly that he was a powerhouse of talent. He created the Jaeger posters/card art we used at Wondercon. Without any hesitation I asked him to create this new IMAX FANFIX art. Look at it closely- with a magnifying glass! So much going on! Such power! Such beauty! Sergio loves his Kaijus and his Mecha, and it shows. The poster, like my film, is a tribute to well-loved things. I wish all the fans the best time at the first IMAX screenings of PACIFIC RIM. Enjoy!"
–Guillermo del Toro

When seeing a movie in an IMAX® theatre, it's like seeing a different movie altogether. Everything from the movie itself to the theatre's technology and design has been developed and customized to make you believe you're part of the action.

There are two ways to create an IMAX movie. It can either be captured with the extremely high resolution IMAX® cameras or go through IMAX's proprietary DMR process to enhance the film's image and audio.

In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Peter Jackson has pushed the boundaries of new filmmaking techniques by capturing the movie in high frame rate (HFR) 3D – marking the first use of this method in a major motion picture release. In addition to the IMAX® and IMAX® 3D presentations, the film will also be shown using a higher frame rate in select IMAX® theatres.
What is High Frame Rate 3D (HFR 3D)?
Frame rates refer to the number of images (frames) displayed by a projector in one second. The current standard in cinemas worldwide is 24 frames per second (fps). HFR 3D productions of 48 fps record and play visuals at twice the current rate, which more closely approximates what the human eye actually sees. The higher 48fps rate provides enhanced clarity and reduces motion blur during action sequences, artifacts, judder and strobing.
Check out the list below for IMAX theatres that will be playing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in HFR 3D. For a full list of nearby theatres playing The Hobbit, click here.

Good news 007 fans! For the first time ever, you'll be able to experience SKYFALL™, the 23rd installment of the Bond franchise, one day early in IMAX on November 8th.
If you're one of those eager fans who will be the first in line to see the film in IMAX, it'll be a completely unique experience. This is because the IMAX presentation of SKYFALL will be specially formatted to feature a larger aspect ratio than the conventional release for the entirety of the film.
The filmmakers worked with the IMAX team in the post-production process to increase the aspect ratio of the film and designed the IMAX presentation of SKYFALL to allow audiences to see up to 26% more of the originally captured image.
We can all relate to Victor Frankenstein, an impressionable young boy who loves his pet dog Sparky more than anything. Just imagine: Sparky and Victor side by side, making movies, conducting experiments, and getting into all sorts of mischief. Now picture Victor: brokenhearted from losing his best friend Sparky. Yes, we know, very sad. While many of us would try to forget the pain of losing our best pet pal, Victor has another idea. Inspired by his science teacher, Mr. Rzykruski, Victor finds a way to bring Sparky back to life – sending the small town of New Holland into shock.
The Polar Express was a milestone in IMAX history. As our first DMR 3D movie, The Polar Express changed the way the industry viewed 3D technology, especially in IMAX. We invited Hugh Murray from our film technology team to come share his experience working on the film.
Read what Hugh had to say below:
Now that you've been formally introduced to our DMR technology, (if you haven't, please click here to catch up) we'd like to dive a bit deeper into what happens behind the scenes during this transformative process.
As we've mentioned in other posts, your experience in an IMAX theatre is entirely different from any other theatre. One of the key reasons is because the content being shown in an IMAX theatre is significantly better than the content playing down the hall.
Want to know how it's really done? Below we discuss the step-by-step process:
IMAX 101 Series: DMR (Digital Re-Mastering)—The Secret Sauce Behind The IMAX Experience®
For more than 40 years, IMAX has been in the business of creating experiences that take you beyond the edge of your seats to a world you've never imagined.
We started out as a large-format documentary maker focused on museums and science centers - taking audiences on adventures from the depths of the ocean to the outer limits of space.
While our documentary roots continue to be a key part of our business, we started to wonder what would happen if we brought The IMAX Experience to Hollywood?
The IMAX® camera is an integral part of IMAX's history. The IMAX® camera is more than a piece of equipment used to capture images, it delivers lifelike images that no other camera has been able to match since its invention more than 35 years ago.
Take a behind the scenes look as Mike Hendriks of IMAXs Camera Department and Producer Lorne Orleans talk about IMAX film technology and the adventures of the IMAX® camera.
Liberty Science Center Prepares for the Arrival of TDKR in IMAX
The Dark Knight Rises is proving to be one of 2012's most highly-anticipated films. With a runtime of 2 hours and 45 minutes, many theatres are preparing for the showing of The Dark Knight Rises. Take a moment to check out the behind-the-scenes video of Liberty Science Center's tech guy Joseph Columbo as he walks through what goes into showing such an epic film, which has the longest runtime of any film ever shown at LSC. He uses awesome words like platters, QTRU, decks etc. It's a pretty big deal. Check it out below:
TASM Highlights, Recaps, Reviews and More
The Amazing Spider-Man is a fresh look at Spidey and tells a new story of Peter Parker as a high-schooler who's on a journey of self-discovery. After its July 3 release many have hit the web to share their take on the new Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Emma Stone as his high school love, Gwen Stacy. There's no question this version of Spidey is unlike any other and has the web buzzing. Here are a few interesting highlights on The Amazing Spider-Man. Take a look below.
Spidey is at it again, but this time the story of Peter Parker has gone back in time, where a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed. The Amazing Spider-Man dives deeper into Peter's past, as his superpowers are evolving during a quest of discovery. This new plot from the Marvel Comics originally created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, will follow the story of Peter as a troubled high-schooler, who meets his first love Gwen Stacy. Together they face the obstacles that stand in their way due to Peter's new found identity as Spider-Man.
The Amazing Spider-Man will feature key scenes with an increased aspect ratio that will maximize on the IMAX screen. Watch Marc Webb as he talks about TASM and its unique aspect ratio below:
Aspect Ratio: Your Point-of-View
Experiencing your favorite movie in IMAX consists of plenty of speechless moments but isn't quiet at all. It's filled with breathtaking gasps and frightening shrieks as you assume the part of the hero or even the villain; taking death-defying leaps that make you clinch the hand of your neighbor and close your eyes before you hit the ground. Yes, IMAX is that real and there are several elements that go into creating those moments that you'll never forget.
But what is it that makes you nearly lose your lunch from looking down from the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, with Tom Cruise in M:I4 or swinging from New York's skyscapers with Spider-Man? Well it's actually several things that go into creating that experience, one of which is the aspect ratio of the scene, which helps bring you into the action of the film.
IMAX 12:01 Screening: The Amazing Spider-Man
The countdown for The Amazing Spider-Man is now only hours away and tickets for the midnight showing are still available. If you're attending tonight's IMAX 12:01 showing you will receive an exclusive The Amazing Spider-Man print! The film will launch in the IMAX 3D® in 447 IMAX theatres worldwide.

One IMAX Employee's Encounter with Steve Jobs and Pixar
The Pixar Story was on TV last week and it reminded us of a personal anecdote from IMAX's Senior VP Film Production-Filmed Entertainment Division Hugh Murray. See Hugh's story below:
I never got the chance to meet Steve in person, but I do have my own IMAX related anecdote to share.
Back in the mid 90's when Toy Story was wowing audiences as the first full length all CG feature, IMAX, under Rich and Brad's new leadership, was successfully transitioning away from our traditional institutional business into high profile commercial 3D venues. What we didn't have was a matching flow of high profile 3D content, a message that filtered urgently back down the chain. I managed to get a chance to pitch to Rich and Brad (who didn't know me at the time) the idea that Toy Story was a film that had been created entirely using 3D geometry on computers and rendered out with a single "camera" in 2D.
There's a lot to be said about the movies that stay on your mind for months before they premiere, that convince you to stand in long lines for advance tickets and force you to stay up way past your bedtime to be the first to be transported from a seat in the movies to another world. IMAX not only understands the obsession, we take part in it and find a way to make your moviegoing experience an event that you'll never forget.
We're constantly searching for the best ways to connect with the people that matter most, our fans…fanboys and fangirls that is. We've launched the IMAX blog to give you access to what goes on inside IMAX and to find out what matters most to you. Our blog will feature behind-the-scenes access to our technology, the evolution of IMAX films and guest expert bloggers who help to bring the most immersive movie experience to you, at each IMAX® theater, every showing.
What's it like to see a movie in IMAX?

Because the sling is attached directly to the plate carrier, it also disperses the weight of your weapon evenly. The straps of the sling can be inserted underneath the CIRAS shoulder straps for further comfort and support. Featuring durable, wear resistant wide nylon webbing, this CIRAS Single point sling is much more rugged than most other airsoft branded CIRAS slings. For rapid removal, you can pull the emergency release locking cable handle, which releases the entire vest, as well as the sling. If you own a CIRAS plate carrier, but are still using a regular single point sling it's time to upgrade to the Flyye Industries CIRAS Plate Carrier Single Point Sling.Features:- Mil-Spec nylon construction, increasing durability- Sling length can be adjusted using the CIRAS locking cable and sling grommets- Rapid release when locking cable is pulled- Thick nylon webbing- Rugged metal sling hookColor: KHAKI

Choosing a large window treatments can sometimes be a challenge. Whether your window is very wide, very tall or both, this section features some ideas and tips for finding a window blind that's right for your large picture window. A vertical window treatment, such as a vertical blind or panel track sliding blind, usually works best on windows that are wider than they are tall, and add height and formality to a room. Horizontal blinds (for large window treatments) on the other hand, such as cellular shades and wood blinds, work best on windows that are taller than they are wide, and enhance a cozy and casual decor.
You'll want to find a large window treatment that can cover the size of your window while still providing the light control, privacy and functionality you're looking for. For example, cordless cellular shades are a safe choice for children and pets, but are difficult to operate on very tall windows (consider motorized shades instead). Also, wood blinds are very heavy and are not a good choice for large windows where the blind needs to be raised often.
For split windows, a 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 headrail option divides the blind or shade into 2 or 3 independently operating sections. Some fabrics are available on different kinds of shades to cover all your windows - try coordinating panel track blinds for your large windows with roman or roller shades on your smaller windows.

Back It Up
Fall Equinox
Juliet's Urban Lattice quilt
Kissy Fish
Single Girl
Sliced Coins
Yep, backs always appeal to the minimalist in me.
In other news, summer is now in full swing at my house, with all the craziness that entails. This weekend was Miss E.'s dance recital—the event of the summer among 4-year-old girls around here. And in the coming weeks we have t-ball, swimming, tennis, zoo classes, birthday parties, travel plans ... you know the drill. I'm hoping to keep up my usual frenetic pace of sewing and blogging on top of that, but ... well, we'll see what happens. It's summer, after all. We don't get that much of it around here—I have to enjoy those fleeting moments! So if I don't post as often as usual during the summer months, you'll know why. But even if I'm not posting as frequently, you can bet I'm sneaking in plenty of sewing after the girlies are in bed! And I'll be sure to get pictures of it up sooner or later. Happy summer, everyone!

Oooh Lee - I especially love the first 2 photos. The first one would be absolutely gorgeous as the FRONT of a quilt! :-)ReplyDelete
Love your backs!! Gives me lots of inspiration!ReplyDelete
Oh, swoon :) I still totally heart that Fall Equinox back, it's just lovely. And so big! Yum, yum, yum! Glad to hear the recital went well, can't wait to hear more about all of Miss E's classes this summer! She's going to have a blast :)ReplyDelete
Great backs! I always run out of steam by the time I get there. Love those simple designs that add some flair. I feel ya when it comes to summer!ReplyDelete
I usually run out of steam by the time I get to the backing, too -- but you've inspired me!ReplyDelete
Oooh... love it all! Very creative.ReplyDelete
Awesome backs. Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
Fantastic.. These really are inspiring.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing your backs as I am almost done with both my Supernova and Block-A-Pallooza tops and have no idea on how to back them. This gives me inspiration! Happy Summer to you too!ReplyDelete
They are beautiful. I always laugh when I end up liking the back of my quilts more. How do you keep them so straight when basting? That is my biggest quilting flaw--I'm so impatient!ReplyDelete
I love the back to Supernova! I like a good pieced back, but mine are normally a lot simpler than that - you've inspired me to try something a little more ambitious next time.ReplyDelete
All those backs are just wonderful!ReplyDelete
These are beautiful.ReplyDelete
Love them all, but especially the Urban Lattice back.ReplyDelete
How fun! I love them all!! I've never pieced the backing fabrics like them before (I just use one fabric for the backing.), but sure tempted to try one now. Each one of them look so unique and have fun personalities...ReplyDelete
they look great. :)ReplyDelete
So sly and creative.
I love the diagonal strip on Urban Lattice! So cool.ReplyDelete
wow, those are all incredibly beautiful!ReplyDelete
I loved it, thanks for sharingReplyDelete
The Supernova back rocks, it's gorgeous!ReplyDelete

I was looking around the site for resources on other sites that are base on Hiking, camping, or anything White Mountain National Forrest related. Would the webmaster of this site/board be interested in creating a "Links" page or something similar?
I looked around and didn't see anything.
I run a white mountains hiking and camping website and would love to exchange links.

I am planning a custom bow but I have never used the Martin shoot through cams and cable systems.
I understand there are several to choose from.
Can someone explain the differences to me between the various shoot through cams available?
I like to shoot with high let off close to 80% and a rock solid wall. Draw force curve or aggressiveness of cam doesn't matter much to me.
Which version will best meet my needs.
It will go on a bow:
* 37 1/4" A2A (2009 Scepter S4)
* 50 # draw weight
* 29' draw length
Best wishes.

United Way wraps up 'Life is Worth Giving' campaign
SALISBURY — It's been quite a year for the Rowan County United Way volunteers, supporters and staff. The 2012-2013 campaign at the last minute received a boost from an anonymous donor, making it possible to fund more than a dozen member agencies and local community grants.
"Wow, what a year," said Board President Penny Greer-Link.
Greer-Link provided reflections of her time as president Wednesday during the annual campaign report meeting. The meeting was held Wednesday at the Hurley Family YMCA. Campaign Chair Denise Hallett also recapped the campaign and presented the agencies and organizations that benefited from the community's contributions. Several individuals and organizations were recognized for service.
Greer-Link, who has served the United Way in a number of capacities, said her first introduction to the United Way was from longtime volunteer and supporter Ronnie Smith. She told a story, which brought laughter from the audience, about Smith's enthusiasm for the United Way. Smith was jumping up and down on a car saying, "We're going to meet our goal."
"I was so impressed at how much fun people had doing things for others," Greer-Link said.
This past year's campaign theme was "Life is Worth Giving." Greer-Link said when she thinks of special gifts she's received, it's the ones that come from the heart that spring to mind. It's about the spirit in which the gift is given, she said.
Hallett said the community and business contributions, combined with the anonymous donor at the end, brought the campaign total to $1.8 million. Organizers went into the November finale meeting, knowing they were more than $24,000 short. In the end, the donor contributed a blank check with the amount filled in as whatever it takes to make the goal.
Since the campaign was so successful, the United Way was able to bring back its Community Initiatives Grants. They can be up to $10,000 a year and they are renewable. Many of the 11 agencies that received grants worth $51,357 had representatives at the meeting. The United Way was also able to provide grants through its Community Chest Fund, which is the memorials and honorarium program that addresses emerging needs. In 2012, three agencies received Community Chest Fund grants. The United Way's Match Maker program matches donated items such as office items, desks and printers from a company to an agency.
Dr. Alan King was appointed president of the board of directors during the meeting. He served as the 2009-2010 campaign chair and has been a supporter of the United Way for a number of years. He's also served as an account manager and on the campaign cabinet as a division chairman for a couple of years.
"Every person is renewed or decays. You can't stay the same. We have to continue to renew ourselves," King said.
• Most Improved — SunTrust Bank, for the highest percentage of increase in an employee campaign.
• Best New Campaign — Innospec, Inc., with its first campaign, the company raised more than $8,000 and held meetings with all employees. Out of 40 employees, 38 gave a per capita of $4,177.
• Chairman's Achievement Award — Freightliner. The criteria is involvement by the CEO, employees, improvement in the campaign and getting the United Way message out to the employees.
• Best Overall Campaign — Bank of North Carolina (less than 100 employees) and F&M Bank (more than 100 employees).
• Campaign Award for Excellence — BB&T (less than 100 employees) and Akzo Nobel (more than 100 employees)
Each year the United Way recognizes someone for their outstanding service with its Helping Hand Award. This year's recipient was Michelle Patterson. Patterson served as vice president of public relations for the board of directors. She is in her third year of serving on the board, has served on the campaign cabinet and has served in other leadership capacities.
This year's Distinguished Agency Awards were presented to the following partner agencies: Meals on Wheels of Rowan County, The Arc Rowan, YMCA, Trinity Living Center, the Salvation Army of Rowan, Boy Scouts, Rufty-Holmes Senior Center, Rowan County Rescue Squad, Rowan Vocational Opportunities, Communities in Schools of Rowan and Rowan Literacy Council.
David Setzer, executive director of the Blanche & Julian Robertson Family Foundation was presented an award for the foundation's continuous support of the Day of Caring event. More than 700 community volunteers donated their time at more than 50 school and business sites. The Day of Caring event takes place each September following the United Way campaign kickoff.
Salisbury Police Capt. Melonie Thompson was presented an award for her work as Rowan Rotary Club president. The Rotary Club has partnered with the United Way's Service Above Self Youth Awards. The Rotary Club assumed the financial responsibility for the program with the United Way handling the administrative role.

text: Just got off the phone with Brandon at Martin and he sounds a little upbeat. Says that although Gail has gone to the happy hunting grounds the company is now turning a profit and has a couple potential buyers, one fairly serious about it. Let's all hope this is the case and some deal is struck that will keep Gail's legacy alive and keep those still at Martin employed. Hopefully the name Martin Archery will live on.
