Hello, my name is Tara Paxlapis-Savior (Tara Aers inworld). I am blogger, stylist, VR photographer, RL artists, creator. My pleasure to be blogger for Virtual Melody grid in OS and highligt a special events inside grid.

Here is my new post about UNITY ART GALLERY at Djembe's Land in OpenSim grid, where PORTRAIT'S expo opening happened on March, 4, 2023. An great event, where Djembe Dragonfire sang with his brilliant voice. In a case you missed it, I have a fresh article to encourge you to visit this amazing beautiful place! In my article, I will use opening speech by Viktor Savior, where he explains an idea and his inspiration of this art expo. https://taraaersopensim.blogspot.com/2023/03/unity-art-gal...

New mesh outfit that I personally created. The top and skirt were created in Blender with a great addon that I will be sharing with you soon. Rigged and ready to go! Can be seen at the Classic Closet at the Monentes store.

The C Pose.
C, as in celebration and celebrity. The pose just shouts, "Oh my! A picture of me is going to be on the front page!" Don't let it go to your head babe. There's an entire alphabet of poses -- Desirable, Elegant, Frumpy (hate it), and more. The C pose is just the flavor of the day.

I created this CatWalk venue and offered this at the end of summer. I thought it would be nice to offer it again to anyone who has a need for a CatWalk it is free to copy. I found many of the parts at Sketchfab, and built it the best I could. Please feel free to mod it and use it any way you like. It is a complete venue with tables too. It is at the Monentes Store in the foyer.

Becky Beige
I never give the name of a person to an outfit, but, on a whim, I'm calling this one Beckie. And she is in a beige colored dress. Come say oh HELLO to Becky Beige and bring her home with you. She can live in your closet just fine.

Oh HELLO: Home of Beckie Beige and friends

Thank you Juno Rowland sister of Jupiter for coming by and giving me suggestions on my newly created content. I had several mistakes that needed to be corrected and the help she gave was immeasurable. Even though I try to catch the mistakes and I double triple-check, I still find them so thank you very much for checking me. Some of my content is Copy only because the texture I used the TOS states it cannot be set to mod/trans. While I do create many of the textures myself, some I have purchased too, so those textures I have to honor the TOS. I added the Classic Closet to the Monentes store too so there are now two locations. I plan on adding more content as I can, while my content is not ripped and maybe not the fanciest stuff, it is different content you will not see rubber stamped all over the HG. I put in the store when I had a need for Classic Clothing and since I offered it in the past I thought why the hell not? To those who like what I create thank you, to those who find fault in it you probably always will cause I am just an ordinary creator that makes a ton of mistakes! The new Classic Closet is now at the Monentes Jewelry store too~

Buy It For Nothing
There is a "Buy Nothing" app which people use to list free items -- kind of like here in OS. However, on Buy Nothing you can get, for example, guinea pig poop (13 gallons!), a landline phone shaped like a shoe, and a terrifyingly realistic animatronic chimpanzee head, which loudly grunts and bellows. And which has sensors so its eyes follow you as you move.

As far as I know, none of that is found in OS. However, we do have this lovely outfit that will have AV's eyes following you... The AVs may also grunt and bellow!

oh HELLO: We don't monkey around!

Hier kann man gut die Seele baumeln lassen.

I'm starting a major roadway rebuild on Avalon Freeway. I wasn't happy with the mesh roadway and how cars behaved on it. I did a test, using regular prims and they worked better! So I'm rebuilding it all, a section at a time. Some parts might be tricky, but we'll see how it goes. It will probably take a few days to finish. Stay tuned!

I added greeting cards to the Monentes Jewelry store foyer. I will update these often so there will always be something new. The card given opens by touching it, the card on display is just to show you what the card is. It is not the actual card.

My Sister Ms. Kitty shared this with me this morning. She finds the best stuff! Especially when she knows I have an interest in something. This is around 18 minutes and worth every minute of your time. It will open, blow, and astound your mind. At least it did me. A thousand kudos to the creator of this short film!
I hope it is OK to post a link here. I just want everyone to watch this. SO creative.

Innovation is a good thing.

A former President informed us that "There are cameras nowadays that have been developed to tell the difference between a squirrel and a bomb."

Good to know!

But isn't the difference obvious? Nuts collect bombs. Squirrels collect nuts.

Do squirrels collect nuts who collect bombs? If they did, that would be innovative.

And innovation is a good thing.


oh HELLO: Innovative Outfits.

Hello everyone,
I have a few updates regarding the future of Virtual Beach grid, the grid is slowly being brought back online, you may still find a few regions offline still. but hopefully a few days it will be fully back on-line.
I am now part owner Virtual Beach and sorta taking it over, so any questions you can also message me.

I am really excited for this adventure and the future of Virtual beach so bare with me as I will be learning some new things.

hopefully with in the next few weeks we will also do some much needed maintenance and updates and when that happens we will give a heads up.

Well they're here, after a long battle with those ornery rabbits, the carrots are ready! You can find Gram-Z's carrot patch at our Mall region.... "grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:Masala Al Kahov" .... the box comes with a single carrot, a carrot bunch, a row of 6, two rows of 6 and 10 rows of six, all of them only 1 prim each, so you can have your little carrot patch as big or small as you like. They make nice additions to "prep" scenes and they're just fun. I had such fun making them and I hope you'll enjoy using them for your garden, farm or kitchen scenes. Blessings - GramZ

Protect OpenSIM from hackers, Priscila's and DDOS atack is very easy, but most grid owners continue to not protect their grid and servers.

There is 3 simple step guide for admins:

1. Disable BUILD for all visitors, guests, friends..... ONLY OWNERS MUST BUILD! Priscila use THIS option to fill your sim with cocks!
--------------------------
YourSIM:
About land: Options:
Edit terrain: NO!!! Only SIM owner!
Fly: yes, why not?
Build: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Object Entry: NO!!! Only SIM owners!
Run Script: yes! or mesh body like Athena will not work properly
Safe (no damage): YES!!!
-----------------------------
2. Always use router or at least software firewal:
On your router:
my server use IP port 9000-9010, some server may use 8002
don't open port 8003, 3306, 3389 or other numbers what you see somewhere!
------------------------------
config redirect
option src 'wan'
option name 'SIM'
option target 'DNAT'
option dest 'lan'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src_dport '9000-9010'
option reflection_src 'external'
option dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'

config nat
option src_port '9000-9010'
option name 'OpenSim'
option dest_port '9000-9010'
option src 'lan'
option src_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
list proto 'tcp'
list proto 'udp'
option target 'SNAT'
option snat_ip 'WAN ip XX.XX.XX.XX'

config rule
option src_port '123'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDROP'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
option dest_port '9000'

config rule
option src_port '1900'
option src 'wan'
option name 'opensimDropp'
option dest 'lan'
list dest_ip '192.168.xx.xx'
option target 'DROP'
list proto 'udp'
------------------------
3. Make backups!

=========================== 2024 year additions =====================

4. NEWER allow ssh, ftp, sftp, rdp,smb or any other admin or file transfer access to the server via the same IP address! Use another hidden IP address or better VPN!

5. Backup must be on OTHER phisical device!!! Work copy on some directory is NOT BACKUP!!!

And, keep accusing me of being troll, canibal, ....(all what really is you) but if you not protect properly your server, screams will not help!

Not Safe For Work At All...
Dedicated to Priscilla Kleenex. :O
Do not watch if you are at all offended by cursing.

The new Peace Enclave Museum located at my Safari Wildlife Reserve. This museum is dedicated to continuing awareness of our responsibilities to our animal friends that we share this planet with. While there must be a balance for healthy wildlife, to quote Mr. Spock "To hunt a creature to extinction is illogical", we must not allow continued poaching of these beautiful animals. It is my hope you will visit the museum and I will be adding to it and to the reserve as time goes on. This has become a very interesting project for me to dive into. Be Blessed, ~~Lavia~~
