was it this thread?
/327/94/282130/1.html
how i import a texture for hung art:
open the image in photoshop
trim any frame
resize (maintain aspect ratio ON) the image so the largest dimension is 512
look at the resulting image dimensions
if it is, for example, 512px wide and 446px tall, create a prim, 0.512 wide and 0.446 tall, 0.010 thick
upload texture (it will convert to 512x512)
paste to the prim face, set both repeats to 1.00
resize the prim using the white handles to maintain the w/h ratio, ensuring 'stretch textures' is selected.

sorry if that is somewhat off topic, i didnt see the other posts about art so i dont really know if i am addressing the question at all!

Thanks :) I completely missed this page here. There is a thread about art and I asked my question in it but it got lost on the last page, so I tried again here.

I was looking for best size to make an art picture before importing to Second Life. That hung art thread looks interesting, also, though, so thanks. :)

Oh, and I tried several test runs in world last night. I found that 512 is just too small for my artwork, at least the non-abstract ones. 1024 looks vibrant and full of life. 512 looks dead, blurry, faded. I noticed that with the abstract test run also, but I think it is somewhat less . . .annoying. I'm too close to the issue, since I made the things in RL and am now trying to import them.

As you note later, 1024 is too large. So . . . guess I'm stuck. I didn't even think of 256 last night and fear to look at it now, considering how blurry and faded 512 looked.

OK, folks, I'm giving you some warning. I'll be out of town, and away from a computer, from tomorrow night to Monday night. You'll have to fend for yourselves for breakfast and coffee. :p

Oh, wow. I had forgotten all about this. I wonder if this has been released on DVD as yet.


I don't think so, but one thing I've been waiting to see on DVD is the old Olsen and Johnson film "Hellzapoppin" -- there is some crazy dancing in that one that I want to see again.

Some samples:

I know you are going to have a wonderful time!

Don't do anything that I wouldn't do.

I had the pleasure in 1978. A friend had a part-time job at the civic center near us, Frank would play every year he toured. That year I got asked to help with tear down after the show. I got to meet Frank and Terry Bozzio, yakked for ten minutes before they split for the evening. It was very very cool.

I would blog if my life wasn't so freaking boring. And the parts that are not boring would get me kicked off the site for porn.

Um...I think I need some elaboration on that second sentence.

Thank you Mo :D I'm going to try very hard to wrote more. I've been told by the Llama (a long time blogger) that you really should force yourself to write about something every few days. That seems rather daunting to me, but if I could do it at least once a week, I'll be happy with myself.

Since St Patrick's Day is coming up, try this, it is FAB-U-LOUS!

Pork Chops in Guinness with onion gravy

*I delete the butter and go straight EVOO


8 1 inch thick pork blade chops or sirloin chops
salt and freshly ground pepper
All purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 large onions, thinly sliced
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 cup (about) Guinness stout or other dark beer
1 cup (about) chicken stock
1 tablespoon (or more) coarse-grained mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons (or more) balsamic vinegar

Season pork with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shake off excess.
Melt butter with 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large deep skillet over
medium-high heat. Add pork in batches and brown well, about 6 minutes
per side. Transfer pork to plate. Set aside.

Dredge onions in flour; shake off excess. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon
oil in same skillet over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Season
with salt. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring once. Uncover and cook
4 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 1/4 cup stout and 3/4 cup
stock and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Return pork
to skillet. Spoon some of onions over pork. Add enough additional
stout and stock to bring liquid halfway up sides of pork. Cover skillet
with foil, then lid. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Turn pork over
and cook until very tender, about 25 more minutes. Transfer pork and
onions to platter using slotted spoon.

Degrease pan juices. Boil juices until thickend slightly, about 10
minutes. Whisk in 1 tablespoon mustard. Add chopped parsley and 1 1/2
teaspoons balsamic vinegar. Taste, adding more mustard or vinegar if
desired. Pour gravy over pork. Garnish with parsley and serve.

TYVM Mo.

You can't leave. The thread will obviously grind to a halt without you.

I know - I looked it up online to see where it came from lol. I was wondering if Epicurious had it, so I could bookmark it with the rest of the recipes I have there. Alas, no. I wound up just copying yours from here and emailing it to myself.
