Hey Guys,
Is it at all possible to record in 30fps from a Hauppage HD PVR, as when trying to edit the 60fps 720p footage, it crashes my Sony Vegas, and i know my PC isn't brilliant, but when i convert it down into 30fps, it works fine editing it, but the conversion process takes a very long time, so im wondering if it possible to cap at 30 fps to start with, and atm im using Arcsoft Total Media Extreme, is there anything better to use?
thanks and i hope someone can help

i use handbreak to convert down if i need to. i also use the total media software which is limited. i havent tried to use it with anything else, maybe wintv7? i guess it depends what software your using. i dont typically set up my box to cap when im not there like a pvr. using handbreak i take a 35-40min clip and it takes about an hour per pass on my pc. i always use 2 pass when encoding/converting. i also resize as well. as to your original question of whether or not you can cap at 29.97 fps, maybe in wintv7
Both the Hauppauge HD PVR and Colussus cards are only capable of recording what they see. 60fps in = 60 fps recording. 29.97 fps in = 29.97 fps recording. The software that comes with them doesn't allow you to change the fps from what the device sees. What it sees is what it records.
I thought the Hauppauge 1212 HD PVR records what it's feed from the source and is not user adjustable. If I set the source to 1080i I get 29.970i, or to 720p I get 59.94p.
NTSC: 720p60, 1080i60, 480i60, 480p60
PAL: 720p50, 1080i50, 576p50, 576i50, 480p50, 480i50
...and the resolution and framerate used for the capture is always going to be the same as the source's own resolution and framerate.
If a different resolution or framerate is needed, conversion needs to be done with MediaConvert, handbrake, or another conversion program. Stick to the standard resolutions and framerates above, if you are going to re-encode. A computer might be able to play something different, but not much else will. Try setting the source device to output one of the SD resolutions if your computer can't handle editing 720p material and re-encoding takes too long.

No huddled masses here. Today's immigrants and refugees are using their strength to help rebuild Dayton with help of the city's Welcome Dayton initiative.
When Islam Shakhbandarov first stepped onto American soil, he clutched his chest and gasped for breath. The air in Atlanta that September night in 2005 was so hot and thick with moisture it had to be gulped into his lungs.
"I took one step off the plane and I almost lost my breath," he says, his dark eyes falling out of focus as he recalls his introduction to a new life. "I thought, 'How am I going to survive here?'"
But there was something else on the breeze that evening besides the heat and humidity. The smell of fear. After deplaning, Shakhbandarov entered the sprawling Hartsfield-Jackson Airport and found himself awash in a sea of humanity that ebbed and flowed and broke over him like waves on a beach. There were thousands of people, strangers, dressed in clothes he didn't recognize, speaking a language he didn't understand and casually ignoring one another and the din that enveloped them.
It was nothing like Uzbekistan, where he was born, or Russia, from where he and his family had fled.
"I got scared," says Shakhbandarov, a soft-spoken 29-year-old with the good looks of a young Al Pacino. "I thought, 'I'm going to get lost in all this.'"
But he didn't, and seven years later he finds himself in Dayton, a city that has spread its arms to welcome not only him and the Ahiska Turkish-American community to which he belongs but also immigrants from all over the world.
Welcome Dayton: Immigrant Friendly City Initiative is a community program to let foreign-born people know that there is no place better to live, work and grow families than the Miami Valley area of southwest Ohio. More a set of broad guidelines than anything else, Welcome Dayton is the city's commitment to help immigrants integrate into the community. To that end, it has hired a program manager and invested funds — perhaps as much as $200,000 over the next several years — to support local organizations in forming policies and practices to implement the plan.
Birthed and nurtured in no small measure with help from the University of Dayton, the strategy seems to be working. Though the immigrant population constitutes slightly less than 4 percent of Dayton's total population, it's growing and, more importantly, thriving.
You can look no further than Shakhbandarov and the Ahiska (pronounced hiss-ka) Turkish immigrants.
"It's a community that has exploded," says Theo Majka, a professor of sociology at UD and co-author of the Dayton Refugee Community Assessment study, which was researched and written to complement and assist the implementation of Welcome Dayton.
Majka has researched during the past 20 years the experiences of immigrants and refugees moving to the Dayton area. In the assessment study, the co-authors identified the issues that often create barriers to integration and made recommendations for how Welcome Dayton could overcome those obstacles and — like the Ahiska Turks — thrive.
When Shakhbandarov first migrated to Dayton after brief stops in Abilene, Texas, and Boise, Idaho, there were, he says, but seven or eight Ahiska Turkish families living here. Five years later, there are nearly 400.
"There are so many here now, I don't know them all anymore," he says with a thin smile.
Why are so many Ahiska Turks coming to Dayton, Ohio? And Ecuadorians? And Rwandans? And Congolese? And Iraqis?
For that matter, why is Dayton putting out the welcome mat when other states — notably Arizona, Alabama and Georgia — and cities are doing just the opposite?
The simple answer: economics.
Manufacturing left much of the Midwest, and with it, Dayton lost half its population since 1960. Houses that were once filled with prosperous families now stand like rows of broken teeth, empty and shuttered.
By welcoming immigrants, Dayton believes it has found a way to reverse those fortunes.
"Immigrants are extremely beneficial to the Dayton economy," says Melissa Bertolo, program coordinator of Welcome Dayton. "They are two to three times more likely to start businesses than people born in the United States. Meanwhile, homes are being bought and revitalized in the Dayton area."
The very presence of immigrants in Dayton, says Majka, is like a mini-economic stimulus.
"They shop, they spend, they open small businesses and create jobs," he says.
Because the program is not yet 2 years old — the Welcome Dayton resolution was passed by the City Commission in October 2011 — there are not yet hard figures to assess the financial impact of immigrants and refugees in the community.
But there is anecdotal evidence that many neighborhoods have seen crime rates fall and property values rise.
"We bring many positive things to the community," says Shakhbandarov, who, despite his youth, is founder and president of the Ahiska Turkish Community Center on East Fifth Street, where he works full time. "Right now, they might not see what we can do, but they see the potential of what we can do."
It's not all about the money. The city has a long and rich history of helping its own. Welcome Dayton is more or less an extension of that munificence.
"Why do it?" Majka asks. "It touches on our core values as a society to offer a helping hand to people in need."
Tom Wahlrab, generally considered the father of Welcome Dayton, agrees.
"For others, it was the economic factor," says Wahlrab, the now-retired director of the city's human relations council. "For me, it was the human factor. If I see people suffering, how can I in my life live with that knowledge and not help?"
That suffering is real. Shakhbandarov was 6 years old when his family fled a bloody pogrom in Uzbekistan against Ahiska Turks and resettled in Russia.
"I saw many, many friends killed," he says. "I was afraid all the time. But it was more scary to see the older people, the adults, being so afraid. You never think your father will be scared of anything. He is Superman and you don't think he is ever scared or helpless."
In Russia, things weren't much better.
"We could not get jobs without paperwork, and they gave us no paperwork," he says, holding an unlit cigarette and a lighter in his left hand that he absently taps against his thigh. "You had to pay the police, the government under the table just to work. If you didn't, they would put you in jail for days, for months. There were segregated classes and no medical treatment. We were nothing."
It's those sort of stories that led City Commissioner Matt Joseph '94 to help lead the Welcome Dayton movement.
"From a moral standpoint it was the right thing to do," says Joseph.
For Joseph, the decision to back Welcome Dayton was "more on a personal level than a commissioner level."
"I guess it's whatever's left of the Marianist philosophy after all these years," he says about his UD education, which taught him to be committed to a common good. "Bottom line, immigrants were already here, and we needed to do something to make sure they weren't marginalized."
Indeed, Dayton has been resettling refugees through Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley for more than 70 years, says Dorothy Balser, manager of refugee resettlement and mission services. She estimates that about 140 refugees are settled in Dayton through the U.S. State Department each year.
"We do this and have been doing this regardless of the [Welcome Dayton] initiative," she says.
Still, her department works in collaboration with Welcome Dayton to ensure achievement of mutual goals: self-sufficiency for immigrants and refugees as soon as possible after arrival, and community integration.
To that end, Welcome Dayton has brought together several entities — Dayton Public Schools, UD, the Dayton Metro Library, law enforcement and clergy, among others — to provide the necessary tools for integration.
"It's about synergy," says Wahlrab, who earned a master's degree from UD in 1984. "It's about connecting and talking and helping one another in ways that weren't happening before."
Working together to achieve a common goal is something with which Dayton is familiar. It's the same sort of model that worked in saving lives during the 1913 flood and now ensures smooth transitions for those coming to Dayton from foreign lands.
"I think for me, I've always viewed the city as being open," says Nan Whaley '98, a city commissioner for eight years. "At the core, that's how we grow, as an open community. … Anyone can come here and follow their dreams and make a difference."
Whaley was raised in a little town south of Indianapolis. She says her first experience with Dayton was when she attended UD; her first experience with public office, being elected at age 29.
"[I]t says something about who we are as a community," she says.
The message is clear. Nobody, not even those born in the U.S., can — or has to — do it alone.
"It's easier to acclimate when others are there to help," says Bertolo of the coordinated effort to provide assistance.
It will be easier still for the children of current immigrants.
"My grandfather was born in (Eastern European) Georgia," says Shakhbandarov. "My father was born in Azerbaijan. I was born in Uzbekistan. My son was born in the United States."
He knows that his 3-year-old son will never have to watch his friends butchered in a military pogrom or pay grubby-handed bureaucrats just to get a job.
This is what Welcome Dayton has to offer. Assistance. Opportunity. Freedom.
For Shakhbandarov, a life that seemed so strange and terrifying that night in Atlanta is now filled with promise.
"When I first came here and saw all the buildings and high rises and computers — I never had a computer before — and the food, lots of food, it was a very unique experience," he says. "To open the refrigerator and it is full … many people don't know what it is like to open the refrigerator and find it full of food and drinks.
"For the first three, six months I can't sleep. I was always worried what will happen. How will I keep my identity? It causes a huge depression. But little by little, it gets better. Dayton is very welcoming, and now I have a vision of a life. And for my son, I have a better vision than I had for myself. What is happening here in Dayton could be a great example for others."
He sighs, able to breathe easy.

Some gals get their dresses from a boutique or a designer.
Then there's Karolina Kurkova, who prefers to strip-mine her gowns straight from the bowels of coal country.
Made from only the finest crude oil and couture slag, this Roberto Cavalli mermaid gown hugged the supermodel with slick precision as she slid around the Cannes premiere of the Brad Pitt flick Killing Them Softly.
The movie is a crime drama with political overtones—it's not about fracking or blood diamonds, but the Czech model didn't get the memo and dressed in anthracite anyway.
And about those diamonds...She wisely kept the jewelry to a minimum with Bulgari on her wrist and ears, but not her neck or fingers. And the makeup works, too—the dark lips keep the former Victoria's Secret Angel from being swallowed up by all that shiny tar.

Sonic finally ditches that whiny two-tailed weasel in favor of a fox with some personality.
Sea of sky.
This stage is like a little mini-island!
...which makes it just like every other normal Brawl stage. But this one has a lot of structures 'n stuff on it, so it's a little bit claustrophobic. Fighting anywhere in the middle guarantees you won't be getting any sky KOs. The square area between the big tree and small stump is particularly gauntlet-like. An opponent will eventually ricochet out of there at speeds they can't survive, but it could take a while. At least on the edge with the big stump, there's an open path to the side of the screen. If you get tired of the match taking too long, the upper floor is much more open (and closer to the sky to boot). Just be careful not to get stuck in that divot between the rocky thing and the wall.

The #1 Question Clients Have a Problem Answering When I book a new client I schedule a phone call and ask lots of questions. This is so I can get a sense of the client's personality and so we can focus in on their style goals. The questions are quite fun - some are just surface questions that tell me a little about a person's particular taste (i.e. "What's your favorite movie?" "What's your favorite color to wear?"). But, I have one question that people stumble over EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Here is the question:
What do you like most about your body?
100% of the time there is a pause. Sometimes I get an answer. Most of the time I don't.
To be fair, I think if someone asked me the same question out of the blue I might stumble with my answer too.
The big thing is this: We are used to seeing imperfections and "problem areas" (which I really don't believe in, by the way). The language we use to talk about our bodies is overwhelmingly negative. So, pausing to think about what we love feels odd and quite foreign. But, it's amazingly, astoundingly important.
So, I will ask you. What do you like best about your body?
Do some thinking about it this week.

L'Oréal USA For Women In Science
The L'Oréal USA For Women in Science fellowship program has awarded 65 post-doctoral women scientists more than $3 million in grants since 2003.
From life-saving vaccines to sustainable energy development, science is making the world better for everyone. We know that jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) are the jobs of tomorrow, but today, women only make up 24 percent of STEM workers in the United States, only 14 percent of the country's engineers and 27 percent of computer science professionals. Without appropriate female representation, the potential STEM innovations of tomorrow will be missing half of the talent in our world.
Innovation has been at the core of L'Oréal's business since the company was founded by a visionary scientist more than 100 years ago, and quite simply, we depend on the contributions women make in the field every day. In fact, 70% of L'Oréal's scientists and innovators are women. The For Women in Science program was created out of a simple belief: the world needs science, and science needs women.
The L'Oréal USA For Women in Science fellowship program awards five women postdoctoral scientists annually with grants of $60,000 each for their contributions in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields and commitment to serving as role models for younger generations. The program is the U.S. component of the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Fellowships. Celebrating its thirteenth year in the U.S., the For Women in Science program has awarded 65 postdoctoral women scientists over $3 million in grants.
L'Oréal USA partners with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to manage the program's application and peer-review process. Each year, the program attracts talented applicants from diverse STEM fields, representing some of the nation's leading academic institutions and laboratories.
The 2017 L'Oréal USA for Women in Science application period is will open on November 28, 2016 and will close on February 3, 2017. You can learn more about the application process HERE.

Would it be completely cliché to say that Hurricane Harbor is the coolest addition to Six Flags Over GA? It is also the largest expansion in the history of the park, adding new thrills and chills to Atlanta's sole theme park. With 10 new slides and a 38 thousand square foot wave pool, it's no wonder why this new addition has been so highly anticipated. Best of all? It's FREE to enjoy with your Six Flags admission! Take a peek:
Hurricane Harbor Attractions At Six Flags Over GA
Calypso Bay, the 38,000 square foot wave pool, is the closest thing to the beach in the city of Atlanta. With two wave generators creating eight different wave patterns, it's no surprise that these waves can be quite powerful. A little tip? Don't turn your back on these waves!
Bonzai Pipelines, a trio of slides, send guests whirling through 180- and 360-degree curves as you drop 41 feet down into the water below.
For the adventurous types, the new Tsunami Surge will thrill - and chill - you with it's five-story drop and 360-degree turns. But the best part? The big zero-gravity surprise as you loop around a massive wave wall!
Small children will enjoy Paradise Island, the children's water playground that boasts six slides and hundreds of interactive water elements, like water cannons, fountains, pumps, and more.
After spending the day walking through the rest of the Six Flags park, Hurricane Harbor is a fun way to cool off and make some memories.
6 Tips For Visiting Hurricane Harbor With Kids
- Bring sunscreen! This almost goes without saying, but you will need plenty of waterproof sunscreen for your day at Six Flags. (I highly recommend Blue Lizard sunscreen.)
- Life jackets are provided free of charge for all guests, so if you have a child that is not quite ready to venture out into the water alone, grab a life vest off the rack.
- Boo-boos happen, especially with smaller children. A first aid station is located on the right side of the wave pool to take care of your minor needs.
- Changing rooms, showers, and bathrooms are conveniently located in a couple of locations around Hurricane Harbor. Make a mental note of where they are located when you arrive so that you can rush your small child to them when needed. Also keep in mind that diapers can ONLY be changed in the bathroom changing stations.
- If you need to bring a diaper bag, purse, or other items, I suggest renting a locker. They aren't exactly cheap ($15+) but you won't have to worry about someone possibly grabbing your things while you are enjoying the water with your child.
- Some slides have height restrictions. Please remember that all guests under 36" tall must be accompanied by an adult to experience Paradise Island.
We had a great time exploring the new Hurricane Harbor additions at Six Flags Over GA! While my nephew enjoyed rushing from slide to slide, Danger and I were really in our element in the Calypso Bay Wave Pool. Six Flags Over GA is open now through August 10th, so make sure to stop by this summer to let off a little bit of steam.
What is your favorite Hurricane Harbor attraction?
I was invited to preview the new Hurricane Harbor attraction with my family. We received complimentary admission, a meal, and other perks while we were there, in order to share a detailed review with the Atlanta Classic Mommy blog readers.

Finding gold at the bottom of the barrel
Subject: Graphics Cards | September 29, 2008 - 12:01 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Tech Report investigates whether you can spend less than $100 on a graphics card and still be able to play your favourite games. The short answer is that if your monitor is stuck at 1280x1024, then go right ahead and buy one of the many lower end video cards you can pick up from AMD and nVIDIA. If you can go to 1920x1200 and want to see at least a few effects, or play some of the more intensive titles, up the budget to the $150 and you won't be disappointed. You won't be playing at maximum settings, but
