Jethro Tull: Die Chronik der Querflöte im Rock

Wenn man die Geschichte der Rockmusik betrachtet, gibt es nur wenige Bands, die ein so einzigartiges und wiedererkennbares Klangbild geschaffen haben wie Jethro Tull. Angeführt von der charismatischen und exzentrischen Figur des Ian Anderson, der die Querflöte von einem Nischeninstrument zu einem kraftvollen Lead-Instrument im Rock erhob, hat die Band über fünf Jahrzehnte hinweg die Grenzen von Genres gesprengt.

GridLock Manor – The Mystery Awaits

We have our first player who solved the mystery.
The correct accusation was: Marla Midnight – Lead Pipe – Study.
Correct, the mystery was solved.

Now the mystery resets for the next brave investigator.

It’s easy to play:

When you arrive, obtain your HUD and touch the glowing ORB at the landing to register.

Explore the houses and uncover the hidden clues.

Once you think you’ve solved it, return to the ORB at the landing.

Click Accusation on your HUD and choose your Suspect, Room, and Weapon.

If your choices are correct, you have cracked the case.
Step into the shadows of GridLock Manor… if you dare.

👑 Gianni bei BK Mode – weil dein Avatar besser aussieht als du selbst

Wer braucht schon echte Kleidung, wenn man digital makellos sein kann? Gianni liefert Looks, die so perfekt sitzen, dass man fast vergisst, dass sie aus Pixeln bestehen. Diese Kollektion ist nicht für den Alltag gedacht – sondern für den besseren, virtuellen Alltag, in dem Jogger nie ausleiern und Tanktops nie peinlich wirken.

BK Mode macht Mode für Avatare, die wissen, dass Stil kein Zufall ist – sondern eine Frage der Programmierung.

At Mall 2 you find now Mesh Objects and classic clothes close to the landing straight ahead.

Full Perm Mesh objects, Season Objects, Deco in the left side there also are my Galeries with art i made.

When you turn right at the landing you find Mesh Clothes for Female and Male, also Hair, Shoes, Accessoires, Costumes and more.

Kaze has changed names and has expanded. It is now Kaze no Chiiki and has been designed on a 2x2 with VivoSim, drive-able vehicles, 10 areas to explore and more. This is a work in progress, but open to all. In time there will be shops (freebies, Japanese style furniture, decor, etc), VivoSim Japanese expansions and more.

Was für ein Verhalten von den Betreibern von Virtual Vista Metaworld, ich habe meinem Herzen Luft ngemacht über das Verhalten der zwei und einen Comment geschrieben, innerhalb kürzester Zeit gelöscht.
Nun habe ich Antwort von Emma bekommen:
Also du bist ja der allerletzte, mit welchem recht wirst du beleidigend. Du hattest immer einen gut laufenden grid, der von unserer Entwicklerin gewartet wird. Deine üble Nachrede zeugt von deinem üblen Charackter. Schäme dich und geh uns aus dem weg. Solche leute wie du sind bei uns nicht erwünscht, und wollen wir auh nicht. Und pass blos auf das deine üble phrophezeiung nicht au dich selbst zurück fällt. Zum Glück besteht Opensim nicht aus solchen Leuten und Konsorten wie du einer bist.

Wow was für eine Betreiberin und was für eine Antwort von ihr.

Ich habe niemand beleidigt und nur Tatsachen benannt, aber damit kann man wohl nicht umgehen.

@ferdfrederix decided to put Judy on a tour script around Sweet Spot, and let me tell you, she takes her job seriously. I barely made it across the street before she lit up the sirens on her little patrol car and handed me a ticket—for jaywalking.

Lesson learned: if you’re in Sweet Spot, watch those crosswalks. Judy’s always on duty, and you never know when she’ll roll up to keep the town in line. Thank you Ferd!! 🚓🐰

I have a new pregnancy system that I'm testing, if anyone wants to try it out that would be great.

It's based on the Body 'C' System (i'll use 'C' and 'P' to keep it clean on OSW). When someone 'C's in your 'P' you may get pregnant. (The father can be Male or Female and does not necessarily have to wear a "Male Attachment", but your partner must be able to activate the C system).

Pregnancy is determined by a roll of the dice based on the probability of each day in a 28 day cycle (highest probability is day 14, but there are at least small possibilities on all days).

A "day" in OS is 4 hours. So in one RL day there are 6 OS days.

The system will warn you if you miss your period in a cycle (on 7th day). There is a pregnancy and DNA test machine at the clinic. The DNA test reveals the profile of the father, in some cases the identity may be unexpected I suppose, so use with caution if you bring your "usual" partner.

Also in the clinic is a Teddy Bear revealer if you want to have a gender reveal party and know if your baby is Male or Female. It will release a plume of pink or blue smoke.

In the clinic you will find an IUD contraceptive device in case you want to "play" with someone and not become pregnant. Just wear the device for playtime and remove it if you want to try to get pregnant.

You can optionally have it automatically alter your body shape, making you larger over the course of the 280 day pregnancy. The attached photo shows a time progression. Note, you do not have to find special pregancy clothes or wear a special tummy attachment.

My system uses a keycode signature to avoid impersonation and tampering. If for some reason you lose your keycode you can reset it at the clinic - without losing your baby.

It's full perm if you want to the see the code and/or modify.

Clinic with products is in Felicidad on ZetaWorlds Grid.
