Texas Science: “Discovery of a ‘Dark State’ Could Mean a Brighter Future for Solar Energy“

Someone took this picture of the Evil Queen with Snow White’s heart from the bathroom at Chester Creek Cafe. It was a gift from my brother 25 years ago and had sentimental value. Ok – yes it was dopey of me to have it in there but it was screwed to the wall and I had misplaced faith in humankind. I want it back – a reward is offered. No questions asked. Please help me if you can.

Here's Her Heart

Ann Lockwood, who stands outside her home at 627 E. Eighth St., expresses her gratitude Monday for the help she received from Project Save Our Homes in preventing the foreclosure of her house. She’s flanked by Duluth city Councilor Sharla Gardner (left) and County Commissioner Steve O’Neil.

Duluth News Tribune: “Fighting foreclosures, one home at a time: New group helps Duluth woman keep her home.”

Now that I have your attention

I thought it would be better to start a whole new thread because this is an important topic. And yes it will be bloody tedious. But here is the deal: ever since Jean Paul Sartre it’s been known in Western Civ that one quality of social interaction is the ongoing appraisal of everyone by everyone else. Sartre called it “the Look” and what he meant by that was how a person was changed when they knew they were being perceived by someone else. Sartre’s lover, Simone de Beauvoir, was the first to write about how men used this system to relegate women to the category of “other.” We are men (persons) but women are not. They are other. Please don’t kill the messenger here — I am just repeating what they said.

I am working on a film project that uses a variety of sources – DV Tape, CGI, Photoshop, etc. I want to try to put the DV images which are 720×540 on part of the screen and something else on the other part because I want the film to end up as 16:9 and all the DV is 4:3.

I have been all through all kinds of Lynda.com etc. and can’t find the answer to this. I am including a picture to show where I am trying to go.

In Premier Pro how do I set up my project? I use square pixels right and a custom resolution? Or do I need to use standard HD resolution?

Are any of you film makers generous enough to help me with this?
Thanks in advance!

Jessie Houghton is tonight not tomorrow night at Chester Creek Wine Bar

A Thousand Words

Ground Zero in Madison

To Brian Barber of PDD for helping with our posts and donating artwork. To Claire for the books – and all the SA donors – Sharla, Joan, Diane, 4th St Lube, everyone. To Steve O’Neil for helping in the kitchen!!! To the Spin Collective for wowing everyone. To the fabulous musicians Terrrol and Jane, Dirty Horse, Rachael Kilgour and Too Many Banjos for knocking us out with their music. To everyone who came and donated, who ate spaghetti and bought silent auction items.

We raised $3,000 for the Kozyites and a great time was had by all. Thanks so much to our community. — Carla

Music change: Terrol and Jane will be in the wine bar from 7 to 8:30pm. Other bands will be in the dining room as previously posted. Spaghetti dinner is at 7pm, not 6.

We have some great stuff on tap and in the auction (could always use more) there are some beautiful things. This is gonna be so fun!

Hey all, we’re getting this in gear and need all of your help. Music is coming along and now we would like to see if any local artists would be willing to come set up and donate any or all portions of their sales to the Kozy residents fund. This will be a great night helping out our fellow community members and lots of fun!! Christmas is coming, let’s do double duty! You can call Alicia or Carla to get a space on Sunday night to help out with this effort … 724-6811 Thanks!

Can we put a fundraiser together between now and Sunday? Here is what Chester Creek Cafe will do:

1.) Set up a bank account to receive donations to Kozy residents.

2.) Take the 7pm to 10pm shift for a multiple site benefit – we clean out the “library” room for concert-style seating and prepare a “Spaghetti feed” type meal to be sold for (say) $15 to $20 — all of which will go to the Kozy fund. Any donations of clothing or other stuff will be available for Kozy residents. Kozy residents will also get a free meal that night.

3.) We will give any participating musicians and performers (Fire spinners?) a $15 gift certificate and a free meal.

Can other restaurants take the later shifts – like we all move down to the Brewhouse or Burrito Union at 10pm and then finish up at Luce at midnight?

Those places would offer a similar deal? What do you all think?
Restaurants? Musicians?

Let me know if this is doable.

I am working on a film festival for Pride. If anyone has any movies they are working on that they want to show, get in touch. Sordid Lives is remarkably funny if you haven’t seen it.

Thanks,
