The train station has been temporarily closed, tourists have been getting in a muddle on boarding the train teleporters and sometimes without tickets, what can I say! (whispers, some of it is cultural). I have made a direct teleport to the North Pole for this weekend. You might like to bring the following, your skating ao, and add some dark sunglasses at home (rl) if you don't intend to switch to a midnight environment setting. The angel in the picture is easily found and you can get a nice copy of her by clicking her when you find her. I goes without saying, bring a coat and get a pat on the head before you travel.

The first tree avatar is ready. Size 1- she is about 12 feet tall. A statue is rezzed next to the box that shows her approximate size. Mesh that is bento animation responsive- some appearance sliders are disabled. Shape, alpha layer, prim branches, all can be squashed, stretched, tinted, etc. Upcoming sizes: small enough to be wifey for Groot, and more like a normal avatar size.

Have fun with her.

Other updates: front beaches have seating and the new sand is installed.

Our good friend Thorvaldr Ragnarsson has joined our grid and plans to open a specialty shop called THORVALDR'S FORGE, where he will make his own builds available to all who would like them. His theme is primarily Norse in nature and he, like all of our builders here on the grid, wish to make our original builds free to all at our mall. As soon as he's ready to open his shop, we will make it available to the public but for now, it's just in the makings though it is COMING SOON!!!! Blessings and much love, Lavia

Learning about Game Development from the Nook Team at their #OSCC23 session Sunday 10 December at 10.30am PST
https://conference.opensimulator.org/2023/12/02/learning-a...

"We’ve developed a tool that lets creators tell animated stories or build in-world adventure games all running from a single script a visitor can activate. “
This can bring more life to your projects. It's going to be a fun session!

Check out our full Schedule here:
https://conference.opensimulator.org/compact-schedule/

Welcome to the La Fountaine Hotel, the newest edition to Avedon Park. Come warm by the fire in our lobby after exploring the park, or check out the Piano Bar or our VIP Sky Lounge. For more privacy, check into one of the available suites. All are welcome and the hotel rules are posted clearly in the lobby. No magic allowed in the hotel and all deals made within the hotel must be honored! Enjoy your visit!

First things are avaliable...Cat avatars and a couple tree lady statues.
hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/Mythos/489/177/43

Cat avatars have my own self made original mesh bento head and home made skin.
It has a shape that makes the face look "purrfectly cattish".
The shape will look really freaky on your other mesh heads, but the cat mesh head and skin will look 100% fine with a more humanoid shape. SLUV and BOM. No mesh eyes- but system eyes work and other rigged mesh eyes will probably work.
Tail is bento-No AO included. Ears are static and can be tinted, retextured, squashed, stretched...

I have included a recent version of Ruth mesh avatar as a courtesy, with its normal head. Be aware the older versions of Ruth may conflict with the mesh head causing a "ghost head" to appear. Don't redistribute claiming yourself as creator(and tell people who made it when asked), don't put on SL or sell for money.

Statues are static mesh and prims, same perms apply. Sim has ongoing construction with signage, and a few ghost prims you may get stuck on. Be patient as we work out bugs!

This Friday, #OSCC23 will kick off! Please have a look at our compact schedule!

“Its most interesting portion consists in a showcase demonstration of scripted moving objects, some of them exhibiting spectacular effects. “Ordinary people” will benefit from learning and seeing what is possible. Perhaps some of them will be encouraged to develop their own scripting skills.”

I was taught to treat people with respect. I prefer to think of it as treating people with dignity. To do that, I need to act with dignity. Acting out of anger only hardens the heart and diminishes oneself in everyones eyes. There is a better way of dealing with frustration. It begins with compassion for oneself, and then for others. This season, and in every season, my wish is this.

May I be happy. May I be well. May I live in peace. May I be free.

May all beings near me be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace.
May they be free.

May all beings far from me be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all beings on this planet be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my family be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my friends be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my enemies be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all beings everywhere, whether near or far, whether known to me or unknown, be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.
