Ukraine? Well regardless of how you feel about whether or not russia or ukraine is in the right, here is why it is wrong for America.
1.) Making russia mad at the usa, ends oil trade, oil goes up, everything going to any store also goes up in price, as the cost of gas to get it their has gone up. Example: gas, groceries going through the roof, restaurant costs (big mac meal for $17.00 now)
2.) Biden and his cabinet are VERY short sighted with what is best for america AND the ukraine. By the usa sending taxpayer (poor people) money to the ukraine, it means everyones income tax refund is going to be $300 less this year, thus affeccting mostly the poor people of the USA. Also, if the usa had not got into this ukraine/russia war, then it would have already been over, with far less deaths of ukraine soldiers and russian soldiers. Thanks to the usa for dragging out the war forever - now there will be many many more times dead on each side.
3.) Russia was a super power and they have left over super power weapons. So whether or not the usa got involved in this money pit, the outcome is always going to be the same. Russia will win. It was a stupid investment of american money b/c the end result is always the same. Ukraine loses.
**** With that said, I feel bad that ukraine was attacked by communists, but it's not my fault, none of my business, and none of my money should go to pay for it. It is a very bad investment of the american peoples hard earned money. We have people in the usa, who spend 7 days a week, 12 hours a day standing on hard concrete floors running a machine doing production work, who are so tired they can barely stand up, but they keep going back doing the same thing every day for THEIR kids. They work so hard to take care of their families, not see our government give our tax refunds away to a useless money pit we can't win anyway.

UPDATE :
Aus dem Sky Store ist jetzt ein Beach Store geworden. Hier stehen 4 Frauen Shops und 2 Herren Shops zur Verfügung. Zudem verfügt der Storebreich über einen Money Giver und einen Lucky Shower. Neuware wird im Eingangsbereich als New Release angezeigt. Ihr findet die neuen Shops per TP oder direkt am Strand hinter dem Furniture Bereich.

Another demo of tidal water, so this stream appears and disappears depending on the height of the tide. 99% of the regions on our grid use tidal water and there is a server that keeps them all in sync. You could have a castle with a tideal area around it that sometimes is under water and sometimes is not etc.

I remember 2 years ago when I didn't even know how to edit-linked! Soon after I discovered landscaping and the gratification (and frustration) that comes with it.
Current project: a 16 sims joined into a private residential area for Darkheart's. A lake area in the middle, mountains at the very end (not visible).
This is the first piece of land, still in progress - just main shape buildings and cliff-ing.

Hi Friends! I uploaded a new video of me trying to learn to ride this new Dragon a friend was so kind to gift me.

Welcome back...

Sometime soon there will be spring. I put in some sunflower people that are similar to my tree people. Right now yellow, but soon other colours and all the poses. These were originally a Ukraine Doctors Without Borders related charity item on SL, so my "please don't sell these for money" rule is extra strong here. All legal, original of course.

News and updates...
Suzan Von Otto of Klamotto(https://opensimworld.com/hop/78282) messaged me last night to inform me she rigged my hair and made it two material faces, to be distributed freely with the nonrigged version. I will do this- but want to make a good hair hud for it first. Thinking of adding compatibility also with the "Decadence Hair Huds" I see floating around so people have even more choices.

2. I am making the main shops inside more cozy and finished looking. The idea is the newest or most popular things will stay right at the front outside but everything else goes inside eventually. Avatar stuff and hairs will go in "avatar magic" which is shaping into an "alternative sci/fantasy" beauty shop.

3. Just a few months away from new open source bodies and I finally fixed some errors I had with the Ruth2 V3 devkits...I have also legal copies of old maitreya devkit, among others from when I did things in SL. I have a few things I never put on the big grid and can, even for Athena users, because legal stuff for nonlegal bodies can be a "Gateway drug" to more legal content. And the problem isn't just going to go away cold turkey. So I can put my huge supply of "I made this, rigged it, it looks nice, never wore it in SL" on opensim. We'll see how it goes.

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!

The OpenSim Community Conference is, of course, next weekend. Here are five bits of info about the event. Did you know them all?

We are proud to open our version of the famous Studio 54 on Stark Islands, right on the landing point. Special thanks to Ernest Moncrieff for letting us use his creation on which this club is based.

So come along and let's have some fun to groovy Nu-Disco beats.

The hottest shop in OS is: [shuts eyes, widens mouth, says in a nasal voice:] oh HELLO! The whole thing is the creation of cross-dressing founding father Jenjamin Franklin. And if there's a lighting storm, he'll tie a key to the end of it. No, honey, not his kite. This place has everything: Raffis, yeti-cabs—pedicabs driven by yetis—slowpokes, a woman with nowhere to turn...

oh HELLO: make the scene.

I have fixed coding errors I found in the Multi Sim Status Reporter Hud, aka the MSSR hud. I found a deeply obfuscated logic error which I fixed. I have also made it simpler for you to add or edit your sims. You just edit the included notecard inside the MSSR hud. Then when you click it at any time it will show the status of all the sims on the list. It's really great. I hope you get one. It's at cyberdatastorm.com:8002/Wizardry inside the little magic shop on the floor in front of the desk. It's great b/c if a sim goes into unknown mode before it goes into crash mode, you have a window of opportunity to save everything. :)
