Ooo oh ah this be-bop's too much

Ooo see'est si bon soul food to go
-- Djavan & Doug Fieger

Diversity is a given, inclusion is a choice, equity is a goal. Belonging is our ultimate endpoint. When you recognize those three things, you create a culture that is on fire
—Camille Chang Gilmore

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Express yourself!

Something wonderful is coming.

The hypergrid never ceases to amaze me. I went shopping over at Nutella tonight on a shopping avie. My main avie has over 120k items in my inventory, so I use other avies to shop. It has become more and more common that when I jump to other grids, all my mesh gets ripped off. I am then a lumpy nekkid system avie with a hairy face. It's not fun for anyone, trust me. To avoid this, I will strip down to a system avie, then use a full body alpha and be invisible. This prevents the embarrassment, potential maturity rating violations, excessive shopping lag, and having to tp home, log, clear cache, log back in, sometimes 2x to get things to act right again. It's efficient and effective.

I haven't filled out the profile of this shopping avie because....well...it's a SHOPPING AVIE. I guess I could put "I'm just here to shop" on the profile. But honestly...she is 1/10k avies running around without anything in their profile.

Apparently, a resident there took exception with me and sent me some rather rude messages. I didn't see them because I was engrossed in shopping and had the chat window closed. I saw them when I returned to my home grid. I then reached out to her and explained 1) why I was invisible, and 2) why there was nothing in my profile. She promptly told me she was reporting me to the grid owner for "not acting right."

I popped back over there and spoke to her in genchat, once again explaining myself. I told her to be well and left. I am interested to see if that avie or even this one gets banned because a resident didn't like that I was invisible and shopping. It's always an adventure.

Dear friends:
The area of ​​clothing and decoration stores are waiting for all of you...
we like to share......

queridos amigos:
la zona de tiendas de ropa y de decoración, los están esperando a todos ustedes...
nos gusta compartir...

I decided to go back to the abandoned station to look for signs of life.

I found some...but are these people I want to know? There was something....not quite right...

“On this road there are no godspoke men. They are gone and I am left and they have taken with them the world.”

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

Okay I think things are finally, at last, for the time being, hopefully rearranged to be more easily accessible for everyone at the Create A Scene Garden Center and in fact the entirety of the Masala Al Kohav Mall. There is so much going on here that at times it's a little hard to keep up with, but it's all good goings on!! Stop in and shop all day if you like. Visit all of our in house creator's shops like Ezra's Antiques and Collectables, Thor's Forge, Fall's For You (Animesh People) and my own "Lavia's Little Corner". We have a very wide assortment of items ranging from houses to plants and everything in between. We're working on building new stuff as well so that you have original content as well as items from around Open Sim. And don't forget to ask about our "Showcase Plateau" which allows folks to advertise their grid, region, or shop not just for a week or a month, but year round for free with an allowance of 1500 prims. Word of mouth is always the best advertising you can get and we're here to help you get seen and heard. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night...

-- Don Henley, Glenn Frey

If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides

Located at the edge of the gypsy lands, come explore The Secret Garden at Avedon Park. Explore the garden and relax inside the greenhouse pool. . Please join our group and be sure to READ our simple rules to help you enjoy your adventure.

I am so excited to announce the new welcome region is almost done, there is only one more thing to add. Thank you for Lilly and Darci for helping me with this project. I also want to thank Catuelala for the ziplines she installed. Karaoke will eventually move to this region and we will have a grand opening. Stay tuned for more info.

I am also looking for some custom Virtual beach attire, message me if interested.

I have a few buildings available that are perfect for your Industrial part of town. They are Full Perm, so if you want to change the signs to your own, just edit and change the texture. If you need help, I will happily do so. I hope your day is awesome and filled with joy!

After spending most of the day working with it, we won't be doing the Dreamgrid Smart Start after all.

After crashing repeatedly with three different versions of Firestorm, and finding with no Smart Start the crashes ended - as well as the very large and heavy regions we have not loading as they need to -- it's just not working for us. It's a great concept, however. With a pretty powerful dedicated 64 gig Server we should be okay.

I think this works well for some grids and not for others, depending on what has to be loaded in etc etc.

Many thanks to Mistress Delgado for all her advice and help trying this out! :)

GermanWorldGrid = virtualvistametaverse.com
Unter dem Vowand, das Germanworldgrid technich zu verbessern , wurde dieses Grid eingestampft und läuft jetzt unter dem Namen * virtualvistametaverse.com (kurz VVM)*
ABER: einen Grid-Namen kann man ändern, den schlechten Character des Owners und seiner Cyber-Ehefrau nicht. Mick Florido besaß das *Germanworldgrid*, eines der erfolgreichsten deutschen Grids, bis seine Cyber-Ehefrau Emma Florido kam, die unter Verfolgungswahn leidet.
Unter ihrem Einfluß wurden zahlreiche langjährige Member gemobbt, verleumdet, raus geekelt und verbannnt. Als Krönung wurden einige dieser Member in den TOS namentlich genannt sowie die fadenscheinigen Gründe, die zu dieser Verbannung führten. (Nachzu lesen in einer Gruppe bei Facebook)
Als *EmmaMercury* lief sie in SL jeder Hose nach, die sie jetzt in Opensim gefunden hat. Sie zerstörte eine gut funktionierende Gemeinschaft, die jetzt in alle Winde zerstreut ist.
In dieses neue Grid kommen nur neue Member auf Empfehlung, die außerdem u.a. unterschreiben müssen, mit keinem der ehemaligen Member in Kontakt zu treten.
Ich empfehle Emma Florido einen sehr guten Psychiater.
GermanWorldGrid = virtualvistametaverse.com
Under the pretense of technically improving the Germanworldgrid, this grid was stamped and now runs under the name * virtualvistametaverse.com (VVM for short) *
BUT: You can change a grid name, but not the bad character of the owner and his cyber wife. Mick Florido owned the *Germanworldgrid*, one of the most successful German grids, until his cyber-wife Emma Florido arrived, who suffers from paranoia.
Under their influence, numerous long-standing members were bullied, slandered, kicked out and banished. To top it off, some of these members were named in the TOS, as well as the flimsy reasons leading to this banishment. (You can read it in a group on Facebook)
As *EmmaMercury* she ran after every pair of pants in SL that she has now found in Opensim. It destroyed a well-functioning community that is now scattered to the four winds.
In this new grid, only new members come through recommendations, who also have to sign, among other things, and not come into contact with any of the former members.
I recommend Emma Florido, a very good psychiatrist.

Ooops! An error was found in OverWatch Sentry. Please upgrade to version 58. The error was that the banlistkeys should have been banlistkey to conform with the other files. The file would be recreated endlessly the wrong file. Now it's fixed. It was a well hidden bug. Get it now at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Welcome

This is one of the first sets that I created, started with a sketch of gem placement. Making gemstone snowflakes it is all about gem placement too.
