Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.

    Welcome!
    Register to access the full functionality of the GSResources forum. Until you register and activate your account you will not have full forum access, nor will you be able to post or reply to messages.

    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So how do I pull a frame out of a movie? I have windows 8 and no editing programs.

Low tech method: Camera pointed at screen . hee hee (shutter speed not faster than, say, 1/60 or 1/30, if you have a choice)
Probably not too good of results.

Do you have VLC media player? If not, it is free, (and a pretty good player, also)
Open your video in VLC, pause at the frame you want.
In the menu at the top, click "Video"
In the drop down, at the bottom click "Take Snapshot"
It will save a .jpg in your local disc/users/(you)/pictures folder.

I will look into it, thanks.

No kidding. A double meat Lot-A-Burger with cheese and green chile...doesn't get much better.

They're remodeling or flat out rebuilding all the Lotaburger locations here. Went to the one on Juan Tabo and Indian School today for lunch. It's a totally new building and the burgers were better than ever.
 
I don't ask for much from 2021. All I need is this:

Yep, the wife took a job at the Pentagon, and I'll do my current job, just full-time tele-work from there.
Which college is he in? I think you mentioned it but I forget now.

American University. School is still remote, but my son and some online classmates are doing a long term airbnb rental in town. Good luck with your wife's gig and your remote work.

Thanks, and hope your son enjoys his time down there. (But not too much...:))
