Subject: Management Course
Status: RO

Lesson One:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit
saw the crow & asked him, "Can I also sit like you & do nothing all day
long?" The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on
the ground below the crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared,
jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Management Lesson?
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high
up.

Lesson Two:
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to
the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the
energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied
the bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey pecked at a lump of
dung, found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest
branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he
reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, he was
proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by
a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson?
Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Three:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying
there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay
there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was.
The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and
happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing
and came to investigate. Following the
sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung
and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson?
1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Here endeth your management course.

We've been having an issue for some time now, that all our Grid is up, but the beacons say offline for most or all of the sims.

We don't use the Dreamgrid 'pause', and every time I check, the sim is up and well. I do resets of the sims when I notice, which does get the beacon to work again - but be aware that most of the time, a particular sim is likely really available and running :)

Just paste in the SURL and give it a try!

The land of Xzar is coming along. I can't believe it has been only 4 months since I migrated to the Genesis RP grid! What a journey! I am building this fantasy world based on my story for the 5th time!! I am this [ ] close to inviting you all to come to have a look. The land of Xzar is a mixture of past, present, and future. This is one of my latest builds. McCall Technologies is a Robotics company and this is the corporate hive. I just can't figure out what to do with the front. Any suggestions? I love building fountains so they are all over the place. Still, it is one option. I am thinking of jet fountains along the sides in front. Or they could be planters. Shrug.
Edited to add a picture of the final Look. Added fountains and found the statue in my inventory.

**** GREEDY TABLES UPDATE *** NG V2 (NEW GENERATION VERSION 2) ***
1- Now, pair/unpair table/controller is easier.. There is no need to do the "rez-in-order" steps like on previous NG versions;
2- TOP 5 HIGH SCORES NOW CAN BE RESET/CLEANED! (Many people asked me that and thx for my friends Adani and Essensual from Trianon grid who worked on the script modification.
3- To make it work rez always the table/controller with the N2 V2 logo! (its blue now instead of the golden texture)..
4- Special thanks also for all my friends who helped me ideas and suggestions since my 1st version of tables, years ago. Also thx for Clifford Hangar and Cataplexia Numbers, AMV Grid owners who supported me on grid.. and White Angel, from Sacrarium grid. And Durham Redmond who "scipted the NG previous models.

well, enough written.... enjoy! and send it away to all ur 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~

I don't understand why there are rosicons who as soon as they see something much more beautiful than theirs tell you that you copy things or you copied the objects in their sim while many others leave the opportunity to have the objects in the shop without breaking the maroni .... .this is called ROSICARE FOR INABILITY TO DO!!!!!!

Well I'm finally able to get on again but it's sketchy! Graphics are still really messed up at times, but after a clean install of an older version of Firestorm, it appears to be partially cooperating. This means I can get back to building at least and so, to celebrate, I've made this "Heart Bed" since Valentine's day is coming up. It's not scripted "yet" but will be eventually. However if you'd like to get a copy and script it to your liking, you can find it at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in our Masala Al Kohav region. My new graphics card and power source are on their way so it's just a matter of time before I'm driving everybody crazy again. :D Blessings and much love, Lavia
