October 14th, 2005, 02:21 AM #1Google to buy Time-Warner?
Just watched a financial guru on Fox news. Said to look for a bidding war for Time-Warner.
He thinks Google, MSN, and Yahoo will all try to out bid each other in order to land the AOL plum.
His bottom line: Google would win that war. And, he thinks it will happen.

He is hoping enough people will hear him and buy Google stock so that he can cash out. Rule number one about shows that talk about the market. 9 out of 10 times the guy promoting the stock owns the stock. 10 out of 10 times they are hoping what they say will make em some money.
Its actually Google and Comcast. Google can't afford it ALONE thats why they are working with Comcast to get the bid. MS isn't STUPID and won't let Google get any part of AOL. Microsoft wants to build their search empire. Let Google buy AOL they lose their chance at conquering the web. MS wants to buy AOL and phase out the Google AOL partnership and move in MSN search.
However the Google and Comcast joint bid is still in the early stages and most likely will fall apart since COMCAST won't be able to buy any of AOL because their too big and FCC regulations won't allow it and even if they did get by the FCC they have to deal with the SEC and I doubt they will get the go ahead. If Google and Comcast make a bid it will just be done to raise the price for Microsoft and get press for Google and raise their stock price. But in the end MS will end up with AOL. TW and MS work together already on various projects. I think TW investors would be happier with a MS purchase than a google/comcast purchase.
Last I checked yahoo wasn't even interested.

somehow I don't think MS is in it: wouldn't the FTC have a problem with MS owning Netscape?

I'd also be surprised if MS overpaid for something that they have the firepower to build themselves. Their infrastructure is far different than Google's.
I'm not saying that MS can overnight build an ISP empire... but I'd be interested to see what the financials of an ISP actually look like. Retention is tough, and new customer acquisition is even tougher. MS could probably make more money more easily by using affiliate links for ISP's and satellite providors

ya know, they just might need a very big tax writeoff . . .

I get asked a lot, "where are all the new rock bands?"
Here you go.
Victoria's Ellice Blackout have been working hard on their debut record Villains. The record which comes out on September 10th, is 12 wailing guitar driven shredders.
Lead singer David Fraelic matches the fierce energy of the guitars and is able to punch through on songs like "Duct Tape," "Blue Ribbon" and single "Dead Radio."
It's fists up and everyone singing along on "Give Up The Ghost."
The record marches at a fairly consistent high intensity for most it's run but for me, the stand out moments are when it backs off the throttle a bit like on "Weightless."
Fraelic says that a lot of the lyrics are "quite personal." Which reminds me, next time I see him, I'll have to ask about the story behind "Bad Tattoo."
His favourite song on the record is side one, track one, "I personally love 'Duct Tape' because it's the perfect combination of pop and hooks but still coming across very hard. It's got all my influences in one song."
So who are those influences David?
"The Used, 30 Seconds to Mars, Chris Cornell, Billy Talent, My Chemical Romance, Myles Kennedy"
I like that list.
The band does a fun modern spin on a classic hard rock sound.

A pale and less disturbing copy of the original
The film adaptation was one that need not have been made. The original Grey Gardens is one of the best, yet the most disturbing films I have ever seen. I still don't know whether to feel sorry for the Edies for not having family that cared enough to get them mental health help...

Workplace regulation is a complex web of rules and requirements that many small business owners struggle to navigate without legal assistance.
The Fair Work Act has 950 sections and 208,000 words, while there are 122 different modern awards. Many of these awards are prescriptive and daunting despite a recent effort to make them more accessible through streamlining. Layered over the award system, employers also face increasing regulation regarding matters including discrimination, privacy and work health and safety. These issues are important but add to the complexity of rules that govern workplaces.
Reforms are needed to ensure awards are pro-employment, do not exist as a barrier to the efficient structuring of working arrangements and set out standards appropriate to the industries and occupations they cover. We need to minimise inflexible requirements that create a disincentive to employ or make it harder to offer more work hours at times when a business is expected to trade.
We need to simplify the system by removing rules from a bygone era while providing necessary protections for workers.

Can you help me install on my favorite new Linux distro, "icedMocha" / "SmashPopLinux" / "zorgyxa"?
If you don't know how to sort out potential dependency issues, please stick with Ubuntu.
The program doesn't launch from the Ubuntu menu after I install it.
Search for "Dragonframe 4" in the Ubuntu menu, then drag the program icon into the dock.
Launch it from there by right-clicking on it and selecting "Dragonframe 4".
It will launch from there… and it will now launch from the Ubuntu menu.
What computer would you recommend?
Here are some things to look for to ensure the program runs well:
- 4GB+ RAM : The more RAM the better.
- SSD : A "solid-state drive" improves performance since DF reads image files from disk during playback.
- 13″+ screen : Don't get a tiny laptop screen!
- Decent graphics card : Read reviews of the graphics card. If there are a lot of bad reviews, stay away.
I just purchased the software. How do I activate it?
If you are currently using a trial license:
- Start the program and select Help : Activate License… from the menu.
- Enter your purchased serial number and click Activate to activate the software.
If you are not using a trial license, or it has expired, the license window will appear as soon as you start the program.
- Start the program. The license window will appear.
- Enter your purchased serial number and click Activate to activate the software.
- Copy and paste the serial number from the e-mail we sent you. Don't enter it manually.
- The "Registered To" field can be anything, but it must be at least three characters long.
I can't find my serial number or license key.
If so, use the Find Your License page.
If you don't remember the e-mail address that you purchased with or it's no longer available, you will have to email [email protected].
Tags: serial number, license, lost, missing
I can't press the Activate button – it is grayed out
- The serial number is not in the correct format. Make sure to copy and paste the serial number from the e-mail we sent you.
- The "Registered To" field has less than three characters. It doesn't matter what you put here, but it has to be at least three characters long.
Make sure you are activating the correct version of the software:
- If your serial number starts with "D2", it is a Dragon Stop Motion 2 license. You can activate any 2.x.x version.
- If your serial number starts with "D3", it is a Dragonframe 3 license. You can activate any 3.x.x version.
- If your serial number starts with "D4", it is a Dragonframe 4 license. You can activate any 4.x.x version.
- (Note that if your license starts with "D3U", it is a DF3 upgrade. You also need a DSM 2 license in order to activate it.)
Tags: gray, grey, greyed, activate button, deactivated, button does nothing, unable to activate
How do I activate the software on a machine that is not connected to the internet?
For a full license, it is possible to activate it without an internet connection on that computer.
Visit our Software Activation page for instructions.
Cannot activate: "Failed to get activation code."
"Failed to get activation code."
you probably entered the serial number incorrectly.
Please copy and paste the serial number from the e-mail we sent you.
If you still get this error, take a screenshot and email it to [email protected] along with any information we might find helpful (such as your name and order number).
Tags: activation failed, error during activation
Error: You have exceeded the purchased number of activations
If you have the software installed on a machine that doesn't need it any more, you can deactivate a license by using "Deactivate License…" in the Help menu.
If you cannot deactivate a license, because a machine is broken or missing, you can manually deactivate the serial number yourself. Enter your registered email address on our Find Your License page.
We will send you an email that shows which machines have been activated, and will give you the option to deactivate them.
If you do not have access to your registered email address, or cannot remember it, please write to us with any order information you have, and we will work with you to sort it out:
Can I transfer a license to a different machine?
In the Help menu of the application you will find "Deactivate License…". Once you deactivate the license, you may activate it on another computer.
If your original computer is no longer available, use our Find Your License page to get a list of activated machines and a link to deactivate them.
Can I switch my license between Mac, Windows or Linux machines?
The serial number you purchase is good for all platforms, and it doesn't matter to us how you allocate it. So if you purchased multiple licenses, you could install on any combination of Mac, Windows or Linux machines. (Of course, only DF4+ supports Linux.)
You can also deactivate your license on one platform and activate it on another. (Deactivate License… is an option in the Help menu.)
Tags: transfer, move, license, serial number
How do I install an older version of the software?

How do I review my digital stills?
You can play back proxies of your high-resolution stills in the animation window. To do this, press the button that has four diamonds in the shape of a smaller diamond. This toggles between video assist images and proxies of high-resolution images.
QuickTime export is black or distorted.
Applies to versions: 1.x, 2.x, 3.0
Can I import images/stills to animate them?
Dragonframe 4 / Dragonframe 3
Look in File | Import | Image Sequence…
NOTE: Dragonframe is not video editing software. It is primarily for capturing stop motion animation, not stitching together frames. If you always capture frames away from Dragonframe, there are cheaper and better ways to convert them into a sequence.
Dragon Stop Motion 2
Dragon Stop Motion can import an image as a background plate for a line-up layer.
However, if you are trying to use DSM to animate a series of stills that you shot outside of DSM, this won't work. You probably just want post production software, like After Effects or Final Cut Pro to stitch your frames together and edit them.
QuickTime Pro can take a series of sequentially named images and create a movie out of them, too.
Export to QuickTime fails with no reason.
For example, H.264 is not really practical for encoding images that are 4000 x 3000. It requires too much RAM. This won't work from Dragonframe, and it won't work from QuickTime Pro.
You should consider what the purpose of your export is. If you are exporting to get the full resolution frames into post-production/editing software, use a reference movie (if your data files are on the same computer) or a self-contained movie with little or no compression. You can use Apple Intermediate Codec, for example.
If you are exporting for the web or for review by others, it might make sense to use H.264 as the codec. But, in that case, you don't need a 4000 x 3000 movie, since no one will be able to play it anyways.
Problems / Issues / Bugs
Providing log files
Sometimes, though, you may need to locate the log files manually. For example, if the program was crashing on startup.
Mac OS X
Please open a Terminal (in Applications : Utilities).
Type this command:
open ~/Library/Logs
The Logs folder will open in the Finder.
Look for Dragonframe.txt in the folder.
If the program crashed, you may also find a file that starts with "Dragonframe_" in the DiagnosticReports folder (within the Logs folder).
Open a File Explorer (not Internet Explorer!) and type this in the address bar:
Look for Dragonframe.txt in the folder.
Please open a Console
Look for Dragonframe4.txt in the folder. If the program crashed, you may also find a file that starts with "Dragonframe_" in the DiagnosticReports folder (within the Logs folder).
cd %tmp%/DZED/Dragonframe
ls -la
Look for Dragonframe4.txt in the folder.
If the program crashed, you may also find a file that starts with "Dragonframe_" in the DiagnosticReports folder (within the Logs folder).
Could not start Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Service
"Could not start Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Service or one of its dependencies."
If that happens, please go to your Service Manager and make sure that none of these services are Disabled:
- Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)

Hands in shot / deleted images in export
Dragonframe always records a video assist and a hi-res separately–even if you are shooting video. So what's happening is that your video assist frames are fine, but then you are sticking your hand in the shot while Dragonframe is capturing the "high res" frames. You can find further explanation on page 1 of the user guide.
Dragonframe gives you three cues to know when shooting is finished:
- The "READY TO CAPTURE" sign at the top disappears while it is busy, and reappears when it is ready.
- The progress bar will appear in the middle of the screen while it is busy.
- When it is done capturing an image, there is a small beep afterward.
Now, when you export a movie or image sequence, you can choose the source. If you want to make one from your video assist frames, it will look how it did in the animation window.
You can also review your hi-res images at any point in the Cinematography workspace.
Also, in the Animation workspace, you can toggle between the video assist frames and the final capture images by pressing the button with four small diamonds in the shape of a larger diamond. This allows you to preview your high-res playback as you animate.
One reason there is a separate "high-res" capture source for video is that you can add frame averaging (video sources only), which greatly reduces video noise, and you can save your images in TIFF format instead of JPEG. Also, with very high-resolution cameras (such as 1920×1080 HD or 1600×1200 video cameras) the video assist will be stored at a lower resolution, and the high-resolution captures will be full size.
Tags: Hand in shot, Deleted images showing in Export, Export frames don't match
Exported animation shaky or jittery, but my animation is fine
and "high-res" images (which is what you usually are exporting). If you are not sure about the difference, read the "Big Picture" section of the User Guide.
In this specific case, the problem is almost certainly that you have "Image Stabilization" engaged on your camera lens. Ironically, the way image stabilization engages every time the camera shoots can pull
the lens into different positions, causing the shakiness in the high-res captures. Then the image stabilization relaxes during live view, and the lens settles back into a consistent position.
Note that our camera setup instructions for Canon cameras tell you to turn off Image Stabilization.
"The driver for your graphics card is too old…"
Dragonframe 3.5+ uses OpenGL v2.1 to provide high-performance graphics processing.
If the driver for your graphics card does not support OpenGL 2.1, Dragonframe will give you a message like this:
- "The driver for your graphics card is too old and must be updated."
- "Dragonframe requires OpenGL 2.1. Your graphics/driver card is using OpenGL 1.4."
Additionally, if you have an Intel HD graphics card on Windows XP/7, you may get a message like this:
- "The driver for your graphics card is too old and must be updated.
(You are running Intel 2.1.0 – Build 188.8.131.523.)"
If this is the case, there is a good chance you can resolve the problem by updating the driver for your graphics card. (Intel HD on Windows XP/7 requires driver 18.104.22.1680 or newer).
Generally, the Device Manager's option to check for driver updates will NOT work. It always says your graphics card driver is up to date.
One option is to check your computer manufacturer's website for drivers specific to your model.
Alternatively, you may need to visit the graphics card maker to get the latest driver:
For Intel Integrated Graphics cards, please find your latest driver here:
For nVidia graphics cards, you can find the drivers here:
For ATI/AMD graphics cards, the drivers are here:
Also, if you have a laptop with both an integrated and discrete graphics cards, see if you have the option of always using the discrete card with Dragonframe. In general they perform much better than the Intel integrated cards.
Mac : "Dragonframe cannot be opened because of a problem"
If you look at the report, it says something like this:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded:
Referenced from: /Applications/Dragonframe/Dragonframe.app/Contents/MacOS/Dragonframe
Reason: Incompatible library version: Dragonframe requires version 55.0.0 or later, but libavcodec.dylib provides version 52.0.0
The issue is caused by some other program setting a global library path, which is a very bad thing.
There may be more than one program that does this, but we've found that older versions of an application called "Tracker" does this. If you installed Tracker version 4.84 or older, you should uninstall it and then install version 4.85 or newer to resolve the issue.
If you've never installed tracker, look for "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" in your environment plist file:
Open a Terminal (Applications : Utilities) and type:
sudo open ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
It will ask for your password. This is your machine password that you use to log in. It does not show it to you as you type.
In the editor that opens, remove anything that says "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH".
Note: This might require XCode. If you don't have it, you may alternatively need to just remove this file, like this:
sudo rm ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
No live view or images in Cinematograpy workspace
We have seen this with ATI graphics cards with older drivers. Nothing shows up in the Cinematography workspace. If you update to the latest drivers, the problem will go away.
For more information on updating your driver, go here:
Dragonframe Windows crash at startup
For Intel Integrated Graphics cards, please find your latest driver here:
Also, if you have a laptop with both an integrated and discrete graphics cards, see if you have the option of always using the discrete card with Dragonframe. In general they perform much better than the Intel integrated cards.
Audio File – Supported Audio Formats
For earlier versions, the supported audio file formats are:
- WAV or AIFF
- 8 or 16 bit per channel
- 1 or 2 channels (mono or stereo)
If you are on the Mac, you can get a free program called "Audacity". Open your file with it, and then save it as a WAV file. It will be compatible with Dragon Stop Motion and Dragonframe.
You can also use iTunes to convert the file.
Open the file in iTunes, then follow the instructions here:
Basically, you go to the iTunes Preferences, select "Import Settings…", and choose Import Using "WAV Encoder".
Then select your audio track in iTunes, go to the Advanced menu and select "Create Wav version".
You should be able to import that version into Dragon Stop Motion or Dragonframe.
I have a numeric keypad that's not working properly.
Program crash due to duplicate fonts (Mac OSX)
To resolve the issue:
- Launch the Font Book application in the Applications folder.
- Select Trebuchet MS in the Font list.
- Select Edit -> Resolve Duplicates.
- Restart Dragon Stop Motion.
Free Trial
What's the purpose of the trial?
We have a list of supported cameras, along with setup instructions and troubleshooting for camera issues.
How do I get a free trial?
You will enter your email address, and our system will send you a special trial serial number (license key), along with further instructions.
I didn't receive my trial code. Where is it?
Hotmail accounts almost always send our messages to Spam.
Google/Gmail accounts usually send them to Promotions.
The message comes from from: DZED Systems LLC ([email protected]) with subject Dragonframe Software Trial.
What are the limitations of the trial?
It has the following limitations:
- You can shoot up to 50 frames per take.
- Images will have a subtle watermark that cannot be removed.
- Camera RAW formats are not supported.
Otherwise the software is fully functional.
Can I remove the watermark from the images I shoot?
You cannot remove this watermark.
Can I remove the watermark if I buy the software?
The watermark cannot be removed from images you shot with the trial.
When you buy the software, any new images you capture will not be watermarked. But you cannot un-watermark images you shot during the trial period.
Can I start a project with the free trial?
Because the trial places a watermark on your captured images that cannot be removed, it is not suitable for starting a production.
Once you decide that the software meets your needs, you should purchase the software before starting on a project.
Camera / Lens
I need help with my camera!
If you are still having trouble, send in a Problem Report through the program's Help menu.
What camera should I get? What do you recommend?
The Canon EOS cameras have a large live view with exposure simulation.
They also have smooth mechanics during capture.
Get the Canon EOS 5D Mark II or 5D Mark III if you have a larger budget.
If you want a full-frame camera at a lower price, look at the Canon EOS 6D.
If you have a limited budget, you can look for used Digital Rebels (or 450D/1000D) on Amazon.
What mirrorless cameras can I use?
Additionally, the Olympus, Fujifilm and Panasonic cameras we support are all mirrorless.
See our camera support page for a list of supported models. Note that some of the earlier Sony models do not send the live view over USB.
What Micro Four Thirds, MFT, M4/3 camera can I use?
Dragonframe 4 also supports the Panasonic DMC-GH4 and DMC-GX8. However, those cameras require you to use two connections to the camera (USB + HDMI), an HDMI conversion device from Blackmagic, and have some other odd quirks.
See our camera support page for a list of supported models.
How can I shoot with a RED camera (Weapon, Epic, Scarlet, etc)?
However, there are ways to get a workable solution, if you must use them.
There are two different things you need to accomplish: capturing high-resolution frames, and getting a video assist to animate with:
- For capturing high-resolution frames, you can use our DDMX-512 to electrically trigger a switch. If your RED camera has the option of capturing a single frame when a switch is closed, you can use this solution.
- For the video assist, you can use a supported Blackmagic Design device to get the HDMI/SDI out of the camera and into Dragonframe.
These guys did exactly this:
@jonasmcq @Gareth_Ward we at least got the dragonframe triggering epic single frame whilst capturing SDI working… pic.twitter.com/YPJD1NaCuh
— Ed Moore (@edmoore) November 12, 2014
Keep in mind that in this solution, your high-resolution frames are only on the RED camera (not downloaded to the computer). That means that any edits you make in Dragonframe (such as deleting a few frames and reshooting) will have to be sorted out when you import the images from the RED.
I plugged an HDMI cable into my camera and my computer. Why isn't that working?
The HDMI port on your computer is an output only—for sending the screen to a monitor or HDTV.
Any of the supported still cameras should be connected via USB.
Why isn't my camera supported? It has a USB port!
However, that is the extent of the common functionality.
Most cameras do not have any type of tethered shooting capabilities, where the computer can change settings and trigger the camera to capture an image. And cameras that have tethered capabilities (such as Canon and Nikon supported models) have very different interfaces.
We try to support as many cameras as we can reasonably do.
Why don't you support the Canon EOS M series?
You may notice that Canon's own EOS Utility does not support tethered shooting with the 'M' series cameras.
Why don't you support the Nikon D3000 or D3100?
You support the iPhone as a capture device. Why don't you support Android?
Android requires the user to install developer tools (and know how to use them) in order to support something similar. This is not something we want our customers to deal with.
Can I use the iPhone as a capture device in Dragonframe 3, or in Dragon Stop Motion 2?
You must use Dragonframe 4, along with Dragonframe Tether on the phone, in order to use it as a capture device.
Why don't Olympus cameras work with macOS 10.11 (El Capitan)?
Basically Apple decided to use some of the same PTP event codes as Olympus, and so Apple does not pass the events on to the end application. They fixed it in macOS Sierra, but chose to leave it unresolved in El Capitan.
What lens do you recommend?
Here is a simple rule to help you out: if you are shooting miniatures—imagine there is a tiny crew of people shooting your film.
Where would they put their little camera? If you are shooting an interior—put the center of the lens about where it could fit in that room.
Then pick the focal length that shows what you need for the shot.
This is just a starting point. Get books on cinematography. Watch great films. Hope this helps!
Using a manual aperture lens to avoid flicker
For Canon cameras, use a Nikon manual aperture lens with a Nikon to Canon lens adapter.
For Nikon cameras, use a Nikon manual aperture lens and put masking tape over the lens' electrical contacts.
A manual aperture lens has a physical ring for controlling aperture. Do not get a 'G' series lens, which has no aperture ring.
Here is a blog post from Adobe that describes the issue.
Common connectivity issues
- The USB cable is too long.
- The USB cable is defective.
- The USB port on the computer/hub or camera is damaged.
- The power supply to the camera is interrupted.
As you can see, many of the problems have to do with USB connectivity. Therefore, when you have camera issues, we recommend that you switch back to a simple setup and test the camera and software:
- Use a short USB cable (preferably the one that came with the camera).
- Plug the USB cable directly into the computer (not through a hub).
- Power the camera over AC.
If this setup works, slowly change your configuration to identify the problem.
Dragonframe never detects my camera
Then you will want to verify is that the computer itself can see the camera. If you are on a Mac, use "Image Capture", which is an application that comes with the computer and is located in the "Applications" folder. On Windows, you can see if the camera connects when you plug it in, since Windows always pops up a message for new devices. If you have a Canon camera, you can also use "Canon EOS Utility" on either platform to detect the camera. If you have Nikon Camera Control Pro 2, you can check that as well.
If the operating system or other programs can see your camera, but Dragonframe does not, you should definitely send in a camera test (see Dragonframe Help menu) and also contact support. If nothing can see your camera, try using a different USB cable and port, and possibly try your camera with another computer.
Anti-virus software blocking camera detection.
If you have anti-virus software, make sure to white-list Dragonframe so that it can access the camera.
Dragonframe detects the camera, but then freezes after a few seconds/minutes
The live view is black
- Make sure the lens cap is off.
- Increase the shutter speed (to at least 1″).
- Open the aperture (go to a lower number). If you have a manual lens then open it up all the way.
- Increase the ISO.
- Increase the amount of light in the room.
If the live view remains black, send in a Camera Test through the Help menu.
The focus doesn't match between the live view and the high-resolution images
Possible solutions:
- Accept this difference and live with it.
- Switch to a manual aperture lens with a lens adapter.
- If you are using a Canon camera, you can set the live view to use depth of field preview. In Dragonframe, press Command-K (Ctrl-K Windows) to open the video settings. You can turn on depth of field preview.
The exposure doesn't match between the live view and the high-resolution images
Possible Cause #1: Using a Nikon DSLR
Most of the Nikon cameras do not have live view "exposure simulation". This means that their live view exposure level auto-adjusts all the time, and does not reflect changes in camera settings. In this case, you will have to live with the difference. Make sure to check your high-resolution images early and often.
Possible Cause #2: Exposure Simulation is turned off
The Canon live view DSLRs all have exposure simulation. It is either "always on", or there is a setting to turn it on. If there is a setting, it will be called out in our setup instructions. Just make sure you've followed that step.
Possible Cause #3: Using a manual aperture lens on a Canon body
We recommend using a manual Nikon lens on Canon body, because this avoids flicker. The downside is that this can affect the live view exposure simulation of the Canon cameras. Usually you can adjust the live view to match the high-resolution images by adjusting the "Exposure Preview Offset" in the Cinematography workspace's Camera Settings. You can read more about the problem and see another solution here.
Sometimes the internal live view calculation is thrown off by the last digital lens connected.
Here is a possible solution:
- Attach a Canon digital lens to the camera.
- Open the aperture as much as it can go (lowest f/stop number).
- Take a picture.
- Power down the camera and then try your Nikon lens.
If you still can't get close with the exposure preview offset, let us know.
Possible Cause #4: The sensor isn't getting enough light.
We often get calls from people who are on a dimly lit set, with their aperture stopped down to f/22, and with "Exposure Preview Offset" set all the way to "+4", and they want to know why the live view doesn't match their high-resolution image. This is especially problematic for manual aperture lenses, since the aperture is always stopped down.
The reason is simple: the lens doesn't have enough light. You have exceeded the limits of the live view exposure simulator (inside the camera).
Here are some possible solutions:
- Increase the lighting on your set.
- Open up the aperture.
- Use a bash light (also called a work light). This is a light that is on for the animator and video assist, but off for the high-resolution capture.
There are a few ways to set up a bash light with Dragonframe:
The framing doesn't match between the live view and the high-resolution images
Now, you switch to view the high-resolution proxies in the animation workspace, because you want to see your "real" images. But when you step between live and the other frames, the image doesn't line up perfectly.
There is no real solution to this problem. Dragonframe gets the live view and the high-resolution images directly from the camera. Unfortunately these are not framed exactly the same, and so they will just be off. But that's why we have the live view, so you can animate with it.
If this is super important to you, there is something you can try. You may find that certain image sizes have framing that more closely matches the live view. You can adjust the image size in the Cinematography window's Camera Settings, and compare to the live view. For example, the Large JPEG might use a slightly different section of the sensor than the Medium JPEG. You can experiment to see which matches the best.
The live view has banding or moving light across it
Shutter speed won't go slower than 1/30th of a second
For Nikon cameras you need to turn off Manual movie settings in the Movie Settings.
Canon external flash doesn't fire
This is actually a limitation of the camera, described in the camera manual (most models):
Cautions for Live View shooting
A non-Canon flash will not fire during Live View shooting.
Dragonframe provides a workaround. In the Cinematography workspace set External flash to On. Dragonframe will disengage the live view prior to capturing the high-resolution image, allowing the external flash to fire.
Camera fails to capture (and it used to work!)
This usually is caused by a disk failure:
- Check if the hard drive is full. You can fill it up quickly shooting RAW files!
- Check if someone moved or renamed the folders out from under you.
- For an external or network drive, check if it was removed or disconnected.
- Check if the permissions for the folder/drive are not allowing you to write to it.
DMX / Lighting
What hardware is compatible with Dragonframe's DMX workspace?
One of these hardware devices is required to get a DMX512 signal from Dragonframe out to your lighting hardware.
You cannot use a generic USB-DMX512 device—Dragonframe won't be able to speak to it.
How many lights can I program with Dragonframe?
Dragonframe 3 supports up to 99 lighting channels. This is a limitation in the software, even if you buy the DDMX-512 or other hardware than can support 512 channels.
What DMX dimmer pack should I get?
We do not recommend Optima dimmer packs. They have random flickering.
Note that standard dimmer packs, such as these, are for incandescent lights. Do not try to use them for other lights, especially not lights that have their own transformers.
Can I use a microphone cable for DMX?
They are not built to the same specifications.
Here is an explanation.
What DMX dimmer pack do I need for this LED light I want to use?
Usually LED lights, if they can be dimmable, have their own system to do it. Some LED panels have DMX input directly on them, so you would just plug the DMX cable into it.
The best thing to do is talk to the manufacturer or read the documentation.
Motion Control
What hardware is compatible with Dragonframe motion control workspace?
It comes in two varieties: The DMC-16 and the DMC+. The DMC-16 has 16 channels of step and direction that you can wire to your stepper motor drivers. The DMC+ provides powered drivers for channels 1-8, and step/dir signals for channels 9-16.
Use the DMC-16 with your own stepper motors drivers.
Use the DMC+ with your own stepper motors (or drivers for channels 9-16).
Arduino DFMoco
We provide this sketch as a convenience, for people who are comfortable working with electronics and are interested in creating a homemade, low cost, simple motion control solution. We do not offer customizations of the DFMoco sketch (although you are free to do it yourself).
The DFMoco sketch is installed with Dragonframe at:
[Dragonframe Install folder]/Resources/Arc Motion Control/DFMoco
An Arduino running the DFMoco sketch will generate step and direction signals for stepper motors.
If you already have stepper motor drivers, you can take these signals and wire them into a connector for those drivers.
If you do not have stepper motor drivers, and need to move relatively small stepper motors, you can wire the Arduino signals to a Big Easy Driver or comparable board. You will use one Big Easy Driver for each stepper motor.
The pin-out for each step and direction signal is described in the DFMoco sketch.
DitoGear produces motion control sliders, pan/tilt heads, and focus motors that are compatible with Dragonframe.
The DitoGear OmniSlider, OmniHead and LensDrive can be used with Dragonframe when paired with either the DitoGear DragonBridge or the DMC-16 motion controller.
For non real-time shooting, choose the DitoGear DragonBridge. This runs the DFMoco program to provide shoot-move-shoot capabilities, and is a great low cost option.
For real-time shooting, you must use the DMC-16 along with DitoGear DMC-16 adapters.
Inquire at DitoGear.
Slidekamera produces high-quality linear sliders and pan/tilt heads.
Their Dragonframe Adapter provides a direct integration between Dragonframe and Slidekamera hardware.
The Slidekamera Dragonframe Adapter is non real-time (shoot-move-shoot only) when used with Dragonframe.
Inquire at Slidekamera.
Dynamic Perception
Dynamic Perception produces rugged, light-weight linear sliders and pan/tilt heads.
Their NMX Digital Motion Controller (3-axis stepper controller) is now Dragonframe compatible.
The NMX Digital Motion Controller is non real-time (shoot-move-shoot only) when used with Dragonframe.
Inquire at Dynamic Perception.
SmartSystem is an Italian-based company that creates high-precision linear sliders. Their SmartSlider Reflex S employs a unique fluid drag system to reduce vibration.
The DigiDRIVE Portable is a Dragonframe compatible controller. It can control all of the DigiDRIVE hardware.
The DigiDRIVE Portable is non real-time (shoot-move-shoot only) when used with Dragonframe.
Inquire at SmartSystem.
What is real-time vs non real-time shooting?
Real-Time Shooting
Real-time shooting in Dragonframe means that Dragonframe can run a move at full speed, or reduced speed, with all axes fully synchronized.
If you want to program real-time moves (for live action) in Dragonframe, you need a real-time capable rig.
A real-time rig makes shooting test moves much faster and smoother.
Currently, only the DMC-16 and DMC+ motion controllers can provide real-time capabilities with Dragonframe.
Non Real-Time Shooting (Shoot-Move-Shoot)
A non real-time rig will move each axis to the next position of a move at separate speeds.
This is perfectly adequate for shooting stop-motion animation.
You cannot run a live action move with a non real-time rig.
Note: Some rigs are capable of real-time shooting when used with the third-party's custom controllers, but their Dragonframe integration may only provide shoot-move-shoot capabilities. Only the DMC-16 and DMC+ motion controllers can provide real-time capabilities with Dragonframe.
Will Dragonframe work with this motion control rig I bought (or found or am interested in)?
There is no standard protocol for operating with motion control hardware, so unless it's on our list, or Dragonframe support is listed on the manufacturer's page, it's not going to work.
The third party manufacturer must integrate their system with Dragonframe in order for it work.
But I found a really cool robotic arm! Will Dragonframe work with it?
The only integration you could reasonably do is to use separate software to program moves on the arm, and just work with Dragonframe to tell the other system when to advance to the next frame.
Why won't Dragonframe do real-time motion control with eMotimo/Dynamic Perception/other?
Only the DMC-16 and DMC+ can provide real-time motion control with Dragonframe. (Note that DitoGear hardware can be run through the DMC-16 via special adapters they sell.)
On the other hand, shoot-move-shoot motion control is sufficient for almost all stop-motion animation.
I hooked up an Arduino Motor Shield and it's not working!
The comments at the beginning of the sketch specify which output pins it uses for step and direction. You will have to make your own connection to motor drivers.
How do I connect for SmartSystem DigiDrive Portable to Dragonframe?
How do I connect for Dynamic Perception NMX Controller to Dragonframe?
For Dragonframe 4, add a device and choose DFMoco as the Device Type in the Connections screen.
How do I connect my eMotimo to Dragonframe?
How do I connect my Cognisys StackShot 3X to Dragonframe?
How can I run a process after Dragonframe captures an image, or after some other event?
This is a very easy and straightforward integration with many possibilities. Here are some:
- Back up your high-resolution images whenever a new image is downloaded.
- Color process your RAW files whenever a new image is downloaded.
- Notify a content management system whenever a frame is captured.
- Instruct a motion control application to advance its position whenever Dragonframe moves to a new frame.
Dragonframe calls your script file for the following events:
- SHOOT : As soon as the user triggers a frame capture.
- DELETE : As soon as the user deletes an image.
- POSITION FRAME : When Dragonframe is ready to capture another frame/exposure.
- CAPTURE COMPLETE : When Dragonframe has downloaded a high-resolution image from your camera.
- FRAME COMPLETE : When Dragonframe has captured all exposures for a frame.
- TEST : When Dragonframe has downloaded a high-resolution image from your camera as a test shot.
- EDIT : When Dragonframe has performed a timeline edit (cut/copy/paste).
- CONFORM : When Dragonframe has completed conforming edits of a take.
Your script file is a bash script (".sh", for macOS or Linux) or a batch file (".bat", for Windows).
Start with our documented examples and go from there.

Ranchi, Oct.6 (ANI): Jharkhand Police on Tuesday said they had found the decapitated body of kidnapped police inspector Francis Enduwar.
Deputy Inspector General of Police (Jharkhand Range), R.K.Malik, said that Enduwar's headless body was found at around 9.15 a.m. on the Jamshedpur-Ranchi Highway with a note from the Naxals saying that they could expect more of the same treatment if their demands were not acceded to. They claimed full responsibility for the killing of Enduwar.
DIG Malik said that Enduwar, who was kidnapped by the Maoists five days ago, appeared to have been executed by a method popularly associated with the Taliban.
He confirmed that the Maoists had been demanding the release of two of their prominent leaders Kobad Ghandy and Chatrodhar Mahato, who have been arrested by law enforcement authorities in Delhi and West Bengal respectively.
He said that the Maoists had offered to handover three of their cadre in exchange for the release of Enduwar.
Enduwar's execution was carried out after the Government refused to release Ghandy. (ANI)

I like to work out.
I know, you might like me a little bit less now. I know that the main struggle most people have with working out is that they simply dread it, but honestly, that hasn't been me for many, many moons.
But don't despair, dear reader; I still have my own struggles. For me, the challenge to working out is lack of time and, more recently, a redistribution of funds. That is to say, I'm working part-time now and because the money I make goes toward, you know, food and pants and junk, there's not a lot left for fancy-shmance gyms and such.
Don't get me wrong. I love those fancy-shmance gyms. I love spin. I love pilates. I love bootcamps. I just love affording food and car payments and trying to save money all while staying home with le bebe more.
But because I'm me, it was never an option to completely cut fitness out of my life. I love working out, remember? And not just because I like fitting into my clothes (although I do), but also because working out makes me feel more like me. Which is important when you change virtually everything about your life by doing something like, oh, I don't know…having a baby. But you already knew all this. What I want to talk about today is how I manage to get in challenging, effective workouts without spending a dime — and often without leaving my living room.
To be totally honest, for much of my life I've thrown a mean side-eye at home workouts. I had a hard time believing that I could ever get the same results that I could at a gym or a studio because, well, I never felt like I worked out as hard at home. Or I always felt like the workout videos I would try would leave something to be desired. (And there's nothing worse than working out enough to need to wash your hair but not enough to feel like you made any kind of impact in your overall strength or fitness.)
Fortunately, in the last few months I've found several online options that are not only totally free but also leave me feeling sore the next day. So, to save you the struggle of the lame at-home workout, I'm sharing my favorite free options here. Happy sweating!
Side note: I'm not even going to mention running because I feel like it's too obvious, but running is obviously a big one for me. Totally free and I can bring the Viv in the jogging stroller. We go 2-3 times per week, and it's awesome. (But you can't do it in your living room, so maybe not as awesome as these other options.)
1. Jillian Michaels (literally anything she does)
I first fell in love with Jillian when pretty much everyone did — when she was a coach/trainer on The Biggest Loser. I always admired the tough-yet-fair way she worked with her team, and, as a sort of exercise masochist, I secretly dreamed that one day she would scream at me to keep going unless I fainted, puked, or died. (I know, I'm sick.) The point is, when Jillian left the show (and especially when she explained that she left due to the less-than-healthy practices that often went on behind the scenes), I was sad to say good-bye to my favorite celebrity trainer.
And then I found out she had workout videos. And her videos were actually the first at-home workouts EVER to give me legitimately sore muscles the next day. I was an instant convert.
I actually own a couple of her DVDs, but it's super convenient for me to pull up her YouTube videos on our Roku. And, let me tell you, no trainer's workouts get me more sore the next day than Jillian's. She's a beast. Bonus: I love her affirmations at the end of each video. Because I did work hard, and I should be proud of myself, Jillian!
2. Tone it Up
Speaking of girl crushes, I'm a little bit in love with Karena and Katrina. Not only do they have sick bodies, but they are both sweet, bubbly, encouraging, and incredibly fun to work out "with."
Also, as the mom of an increasingly mobile little girl, I really appreciate that the videos are mostly less than ten minutes long. I typically do 2-3 videos at a time, but if Vivi is having a bad day, it's easy to squeeze in an 8-minute workout while she plays in the morning and another 15-minute session when she naps in the afternoon. And since the gals are so entertaining, I'm usually actually enjoying the workout too much to realize how hard I'm working. (That is, until I can barely lower myself to sit down the next day.)
Oh, Christine. You could most definitely snap me over your knee like a twig. And I love you for it.
Christine Khuri's workouts are probably the most old-school of the bunch, but you know what? Squats, curls, and lunges are staples for a reason. And when I have the time to fit in a solid strength workout, this woman knows what she's talking about.
I was a little apprehensive when Christine's videos first popped up in my recommended list, but I figured there is no way she could be so jacked without knowing a thing or two. And given the fact that I could barely raise my arms to wash my hair the next day (from an at-home workout, folks), I would have to say my suspicions were correct. And don't feel like you have to be a fitness pro to do her workouts — you can always modify your weights, and everything she does is super accessible.
For all you work-out-at-home warriors, I want to know: What are your favorite free workouts?
You know how some people like to go for therapy? Or paint? Or stare at the horizon as if searching for answers?
I like to work out.
That probably comes as no surprise to those of you who have spent any time on this blog or with me in person, but I have to say, I didn't truly realize how important physical activity was to me until after Vivi was born.
I wasn't always this way. I started exercising in high school when I went through that tumultuous phase many teen girls go through of thinking I was fat. (Vivi, I know I probably can't keep you from having those feelings, but let's hope I'm able to help you handle them better than I handled them on my own!) Going to the gym was a punishing experience that I didn't really look forward to except in that it would help abate my own guilt and self-loathing.
As I got older and started to let go of some of the adolescent nonsense, I started running and even signed up for a few races. In running, I found a solace I had never experienced before. Yes, I was burning calories, but I also found that my mind was a littler calmer, a little quieter with every footfall and every quickened breath.
By the time I worked up the courage to sign up for my first half marathon, I knew I was on to something much more important than my jeans size.
A couple of years ago, a series of injuries pushed me to expand my workout horizons, and I started delving into fitness classes ranging from spin to pilates to boot camps. Where I had previously shied away from such public displays of fitness (one of the best parts of running is the quiet time you get with yourself), I found that the group environment had its own slew of benefits, from an accelerated atmosphere to extra motivation in the way of competition. Plus, classes offered variety, which is arguably the number one thing running tends to lack.
By the time I was ready to start trying for a baby, I was in the best shape of my life. I felt strong physically but also emotionally. I wasn't the lightest I had ever been as an adult, but I didn't even care about that anymore as long as I was able to crank out a dozen burpees and demonstrate a reasonable amount of flexibility.
As I've mentioned before, my then-doctor recommended I cut back on workouts when we started trying to get pregnant. I down-shifted to less strenuous options, but I knew I couldn't stop completely. After all, exercise was sometimes the only thing I felt was keeping me sane. I was thrilled when I got pregnant fairly quickly and was able to return to more regular workouts.
And, as you know, I worked out my entire pregnancy. I feel very fortunate that I was able and felt up to working out right up until my 39th week (yeah, that last week? not happening), and I went into labor feeling strong and capable of handling whatever this little baby threw at me.
And then…I had a baby.
Suddenly, my life revolved around the needs of this tiny, desperate creature, and, honestly, I didn't even think about workouts the first few weeks. I was exhausted, often starving (thanks a lot, breastfeeding), and, quite frankly, had some bigger things on my mind. I'm sure it helped that, because I hadn't gained a lot of excess weight during pregnancy, I lost the baby weight in the first week or two. I know myself, and I know this whole experience would have been more mentally difficult if I was also dealing with my insecurity demons.
But as the weeks went on (and the flush of happy hormones started to level out), the insecurities did come creeping back. And while I was ironically lighter than I had ever been as an adult, I started to crave that feeling of strength and capability I had come to count on.
By the time I hit my 6-week mark and got the okay to exercise from my midwife, I was itching to do something active. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), I had agreed to run a 10K with a girlfriend months prior. That experience was…difficult. (Running six miles after not running for almost a year? Sure…let's do that…) But it also felt good to hit the road again.
After that, I was determined to keep up my momentum. The problem? It's really hard to find time to exercise with a 7-week-old baby. I decided to start small, which, honestly, was probably a smarter move since my body was still in healing mode. Since I was mostly looking to tone up and regain strength, I started scouring YouTube for exercise videos. I had to keep the workouts short (between 20-30 minutes) to fit them into Viv's nap time, but you would be surprised how many options are out there. (Jillian Michaels and GymRa are my two favorites.)
As Vivi got older and started being able to entertain herself, I was able to workout while she was still awake. I would even incorporate her into the workout as a weight if she started to fuss, which satisfied us both. Working out with the baby also freed up her nap times for my freelance work, cleaning house, cooking, etc.
And I'm happy to report that it has only gotten easier to fit in fitness as Vivi has gotten older. Not only am I now able to leave her with Joey for the occasional spin class, she's also big enough to ride in my jogging stroller for jaunts around the park. (I call her my personal trainer because she starts to fuss if I slow down to walk. It's very motivational.)
Now I'm even training for another 10K in June — and Vivi will be pounding out every training mile with me.
The biggest difference between now and then, though? Now, I'm not just keeping fit for me. I want to be healthy so I can keep up with my daughter as she grows. I want to set an example of health and fitness for her now, and maybe even have the opportunity to run with her when she's older. I look forward to our runs as bonding time because we always take a break to sit in the sunshine in the park. And I love to think that by setting a pattern of health now, I'm maybe saving her from some of those negative adolescent feelings later.
Let's hit the road, baby doll.
In general, I find it kind of fascinating to observe the general population's reactions to pregnant people. Whether it's determining who is most likely to give up their seat on the subway (more on this later) or watching strangers struggle to control their "must touch the belly!" reflex, being pregnant (especially in a big city) is nothing short of non-stop social experiment.
That includes the reactions you get when you work out with a baby bump.
I've made a concerted effort to keep up with my workout routine as much as possible since I got pregnant. Prior to the bean, I worked out pretty hard 5-6 times per week. When we wanted to get pregnant, my doc recommended cutting back because there is some indication in recent studies that exercise can have negative effects on fertility. (Well+Good actually did an article on this in January if you're interested in some of the science behind it.) Because I'm impatient (and, oh yeah, really wanted to get pregnant without too much trouble), I started cutting back on my vigorous workouts when we started trying. Which, really, meant cutting back on every workout I did. I go hard, yo.
I didn't love tempering my workouts (I also didn't love the handful of pounds I gained when I did), but fortunately I ended up getting pregnant the following month. Were the two actions directly correlated? I'll probably never know. But I like to think I was at least doing everything I could to make the process go smoothly.
Ironically, while doctors recommend cutting back on exercise to get pregnant, they're actually pretty encouraging about hitting the gym once you're knocked up. The only warnings my doc gave me were to avoid trying anything new or where I could get injured easily, like rock climbing, mountain biking, and horseback riding (um…no problem?), and to try not to surpass an 8 on the "how hard is this from 1-10" scale. Generally, that meant pushing myself without pushing my heart rate above 140 so I was never breathless.
Obviously, every pregnancy is different and you should make your own decisions based on whatever advice your doctor gives you and how you feel, but in general, your Great-Aunt Bertha's advice to avoid anything more strenuous than climbing the stairs is pretty outdated.
It took me a while to really start showing, so for a few months, I was able to exercise while pregnant without causing much of a fuss. I stopped attending super hardcore bootcamps, like Barry's or this studio I used to go to that trains you to do obstacle runs, and I held back a bit more in spin class. Otherwise, it was business as usual.
In the last month, though, things have started to change. And by "things," I mean my belly. Despite being officially into bump territory, I'm still able to do most of my workouts without too many new modifications. I mean, I can't lie on my tummy anymore, I have to adjust my handlebars higher in spin, and I had to sit out a half marathon Joey and a bunch of my friends ran recently, but all in all, I still feel like I can push myself and usually leave class feeling like I got a good workout.
The real difference is in the responses I get from trainers.
I have to say: If you ever really want to know how experienced a particular trainer is, watch how they handle having a pregnant woman in class.
Less experienced trainers always act they they have been thrown a gigantic curve ball (literally?) and will usually over-modify everything to the point where you might as well just be lying in a bed and sitting up every now and then. I mean, I get it. They (and I) would rather I got less of a workout than anything or anyone got injured. But if I'm going to take the time to show up and the trouble of having to wash my hair later, I want to feel like it was worth it.
Of course, there are always the less experienced trainers who basically just ask you to tell them what you can and cannot do. This is where it pays to be informed and aware of your own body. I generally tell these folks that I can't do sprints, but everything else I can handle or will modify so I'm comfortable. That usually calms them down enough for you to work out in peace.
It's much better, though, when you end up with a more experienced trainer. I've even had a few who have prenatal training certifications, which is awesome because you feel so much more comfortable letting them push you instead of trying to feel out for yourself where your limits are. Plus, these are usually the folks who don't look at you like you're broken somehow.
The trainers who are truly the best are the ones who have kids of their own. Female trainers with kids obviously get what you're going through (and understand that if you're still showing up to class, it's because you still want to get a good sweat session in), and male trainers are usually just really nice to you because they've dealt with a pregnant lady before.
Over all, and like most aspects of pregnancy, I've found you just have to be your own best advocate. Pay attention to your body, and trust it. Let the trainer know you're pregnant (I usually share this info when they ask if there are any injuries, but I always say, "I'm not injured, but I'm pregnant") so they won't try to push you more than you are comfortable with during class — but from there, do what feels right. As a trainer (who is a nurse and has had two babies) told me recently, "The baby will tell you when you can't do that anymore."
For me, keeping up with my workouts benefits me physically, emotionally, and mentally. I feel more like myself, I have more energy, and I'm told it will make labor and recovery a lot easier down the line. What's not to like?
Have you worked out while pregnant? What kinds of responses did you get? What are your best tips?
Recently, my pal Ashli invited me to attend a gym she does PR for called FOCUS Integrated Fitness. I'm always up for a new gym adventure (gymventure?), so I readily accepted.
It also didn't hurt that she told me this gym had also trained Beyonce. If wanting to look #flawless is a crime, lock me up now.
The gist of the gym is that they offer personal training, but also a small class setting that feels like a personal training session because you get so much one-on-one attention. Here's what I thought of the class.
The Gym
Space: The gym is fairly small with two personal training rooms and a larger area for the classes walled in by glass. There are three bathrooms, two with showers, and a water fountain for filling bottles. (Hand towels are provided; water bottles are not.) The gym equipment varies from kettle bells to treadmills to a TRX that you cycle through in a 6-station circuit. There are iPads at each station with videos demonstrating the move (in case you forgot it).
Cleanliness: Everything seemed very clean, and this might be the best smelling gym I've ever been in. (Weird, but true.) I didn't shower, but I would have felt totally comfortable using these bathrooms.
Attitude: I was able to meet with someone from the marketing department, a co-owner, and two of the trainers, and they were all as nice as can be. The trainers provide constant feedback about the moves and your form, so you really do feel like you're getting personalized attention. Most of the other people in my class were regulars, and our trainer (Kate) made a point of memorizing my name so she could call out to me the same as she did to the other people.
The Workout
Difficulty (Out of 10, 1 being "could do it in my sleep" and 10 being "omg I can't walk"): 7. The class starts off with a group warm-up for about ten minutes including push-ups, crunches, and squats. Then the trainer and their assistant walk you through the six stations, demonstrating each move and the alternate move you do between sets. For example, at one station you might do elevated push-ups alternating with V sits. You then go through the stations, performing each set and it's alternate movement twice. After the circuits, you do a 40/20, where you perform one move for 40 seconds, another for 20 seconds, and then alternate while the trainer calls out new moves each time. Finally, there's a cool down with stretches. The class felt challenging, but not as intense as I usually go for.
Experience: The class itself was good (the other members were very welcoming and the trainers were accomodating, but I did feel like I was missing some of the energy I usually find in group classes. It might have helped if the music was louder or something.
Afterburn: Even though it didn't feel like I was working super hard during the class, I was pretty sore the next day from all the squats and pushups. (You do a lot more than it feels like.) So what do I know?
Final grade: A-. In general, I'm not a huge fan of stations in a workout — I feel like it breaks up my flow. But I love a gym that feels upscale without being alienating, and that's exactly the vibe FOCUS brings. I also think that because there is such a heavy focus (PUN!) on personalizing the workout, the trainers would be more than willing to adjust each movement to make it harder if I had asked for that.
Have any of you tried FOCUS? Or do you have strong feelings about stations vs. circuits?
By now, you might be a little burnt out on spin classes, stair climbers, and running around in the 80+ degree weather we've been experiencing. That's where the latest fitness studio trend comes in: rowing.
I had experienced rowing in my Throwback Fitness classes, but I had yet to take a class entirely around the old school workout technique. I got my chance when I booked a class at Row City through my ClassPass.
If you're looking to try something new with your workouts, here's what I thought of this gym:
The Gym
Space: The first thing I noticed was that the gym itself is fairly small, but it's still bright and airy because most of the walls are windows. There is only one studio space with about 20 rowers. The main difference between these rowers and the ones I had seen before was that these had a rudder-like mechanism that actually pushes through water, making it more similar to what actual rowing would be like (I guess?). There are no showers or locker rooms, but you can change in the (semi cramped) bathroom down the call. There are cubbies to keep your things while you workout. Water is not provided, but there is a machine to fill water bottles.
Cleanliness: The bathroom is really for the entire floor of the office building, so technically City Row isn't responsible for keeping it clean. Like I said, it's not the greatest place I've ever changed, but it does the trick. The gym itself is very clean, and the machines are wiped down between classes.
Attitude: Everyone I met who worked at the gym was very upbeat and friendly. The instructor made a point of trying to learn everyone's name, and there were a few people who were new so I didn't stick out.
The Workout
Difficulty (Out of 10, 1 being "could do it in my sleep" and 10 being "omg I can't walk"): 7-8. I feel like if I went again, I would get a bit better of a workout. I didn't love this new style of rower, and it took a bit of getting used to so I couldn't go as hard as I normally would. I also felt like the lower body moves you do between rowing sprints could have been more challenging.
Experience: Over all, it was a positive experience, and I think I'll go back. I like rowing as a total-body alternative to work on cardio endurance, and I think then next time I go I'll be more familiar with the technique.
Afterburn: I wasn't particularly sore the next day, but right after the class I felt fully worked out. What a really like is leaving a class feeling like I exercised every part of my body, and this definitely delivered on that.
Final grade: B. I was a little disappointed over all because so many people had hyped these classes, so maybe I just went in with my expectations too high. I think I will definitely try it again, but there are other classes I felt like gave a better workout.
Have you taken a rowing class? What did you think?
I'm writing this post before the sweat has even dried from my body so you get as accurate a recall of this class as possible.
A few weeks ago, my friend Sabine reached out to me because she had semi-recently become an instructor at SoulCycle.
I had only ever taken one SC class before, and, it has to be said, I wasn't that impressed with it. But I'm a firm believer in second chances, so when Sabine offered me a free class in exchange for an honest review on my blog, I told her to sign me up.
The Gym
Space: If you've never been to SC, the aesthetic is actually really similar to Drybar. If you've never been to Drybar…it's modern and uses a lot of white and yellow. Shoes are included in the cost, and water is $2 extra. One of the biggest pros to SC is its locker room. Y'all know I love amenities, and these locker rooms are fully equipped with fancy soaps, good hair dryers, hair accessories, and the various toiletry and product accoutrements you need post-workout. (Basically, FREE STUFF!) The spin studio itself isn't remarkably different from any other spin studio. The bikes are arranged in a semi-circle around the instructor's stage. Throughout the class, the instructor has control of the lights and music.
Cleanliness: The locker room was a little messy, probably because it was the end of the day. Everything was wiped down and sterilized though, just a little cluttered.
Attitude: Before I attended spinning classes regularly, I think I would have been a little intimidated by SC classes. Most of the people there have been going for a while, and, in general, they go hard. If you have a few classes under your belt, though, you'll feel right at home.
The Workout
Difficulty (Out of 10, 1 being "could do it in my sleep" and 10 being "omg I can't walk"): 9. As I said before, I didn't really care for the last SC class I went to mostly because I didn't feel like I got a really solid workout. Sabine's class was entirely different. Girl makes you work. Between continuously harder "climbs" and sprint intervals that had me literally dripping sweat, not to mention a tough arm circuit in between, I had a little trouble walking down the stairs to the subway after.
Experience: Sabine did a great job keeping the energy level up, even though class was on a Friday night. Classes like this are really all about the instructor, and I liked her style of providing cues and how smoothly each interval flowed into the next. One thing I don't always love about SC classes is that you do a lot of arm work while you're riding, including tricep dips and pushups on the handle bars. For me, it interrupts the flow of riding a bit, but I do like ending the class feeling like I've worked out more than just my legs. I think this is something I would probably get used to as time went one — even this time around, it was easier. Speaking of arms, there's a portion of the class where you slow the bikes and do an arm circuit with light weights (at least, they feel light in the beginning). Sabine will be happy to know that my biceps and shoulders were burning (in a good way) by the end of that portion. Plus, she actually played music I hadn't heard a thousand times at every other spin class, which is a big bonus.
Afterburn: I was already feeling wiped when I left the class, and I have a feeling my shoulders will be sore tomorrow morning. Definitely tough one.
Final grade: A! I'm not sure if I can afford regular SC classes, but if I go, at least I know Sabine's classes are worth the cost.
And, for the record, I'm not just saying all this because Sabine is my friend. If I hadn't liked the workout, I would say something like, "It's really great for beginners!" This was tough in the best way possible.
Thanks again for having me, Sabine!

Going into his tenth season with the Patriots, Dan Koppen is no stranger to training camp.
Speaking with CSNNE's Mike Giardi, Koppen was asked if he's at the stage in his career where he can enjoy it, or is it just a "necessary evil"?
"It's probably both," Koppen said. "It's a necessary evil but as you get older you start to appreciate it more and have more fun with it. So just out here having a good time and working to get better."
But Koppen knows not to have too much fun -- after all, there are always other players on the team after his job, and it often times comes down to who wants it more
"Since I've been here there's been competition," he said.
Regardless of his tenure with the team, Koppen still doesn't have that "comfortable" feeling when it comes to a spot on the roster.
"That's just the group of guys that we have," he said. "You never know. No one is guaranteed a spot. It's about how you perform, how consistent you are. You just have to earn your spot on this team."
But one person he doesn't have to worry about taking up a roster spot is former teammate and lineman, Matt Light. Light is hanging them up, and taking his talents -- and personality -- to the television set. Not having Light around is an adjustment that Koppen is trying to make now.
"It's different. Matt is just one of those guys," Koppen said. "He's a great guy to have around. He's a great teammate and I'm sure he's going to be wonderful on the air with ESPN now. He's a good friend and a good player, so anytime you lose those type of guys it's tough. But a lot of us have been around here a long time and seen some great players go, so we understand it and nothing stays the same in this league so everybody deals with it."
