So once again, there I was, playing around in Meshy AI, and Blender and I finally figured out how to transfer the file with it's texture and get Blender to put it together then upload it with the textures included and POOF, a beautifully rendered, textured bust of my art work in the form of the Bust of King David. This sculpture along with the painting in the background and the Star of David wall or door décor, are available in The Plaza here at the mall. They are full perm and free for you. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Finden Sie das perfekte Kleid,
das nicht nur Eleganz verkörpert,
sondern auch Ihre selbstsichere Seite betont.

So I was mess'n around in Meshy and made this cute little mesh Star of David for the Rosh Hashana 5786 (2025 into 2026) New Year which is on September 22 this year. This little gem is so pretty and decorative it can be left on your door or wall all year until the next Rosh Hashana. You can find it in The Plaza here at the mall. It's free and full perm. Blessings and much love, Lavia

A while back, someone posted about a veterinarian's clinic that they made. I am hoping I can find it again. I had an idea to run an "animal clinic" where people can take in their scripted animals and we will fix the scripts if they are lag-causing. Usually it is just a timer interval that is too short. I think it would be fun to make it like a monthly party/event. Maybe we can have NPC Saint Francis bless the animals after. lol

I made some lipsticks in my workshop today, Fiona's Fall Colors.

Join BloodMoon, a grid where friendship and mutual support are at the heart of everything we do.

Our motto is simple: respect, solidarity, and sharing.

Our simulators automatically restart every night, with full backups to protect your creations. Own a region? You can request a copy of your sim’s backup at any time.

For advanced users, it’s even possible to connect your own simulators to our grid and be part of the adventure on a more technical level.

Every Tuesday, we host a big community party open to all. On weekends, it’s not uncommon for residents to organize their own events and invite the whole community.

Whether you’re new to virtual worlds or an experienced creator, you’ll always find your place with us.

BloodMoon – Where virtual worlds come alive.

Just in case you want to teleport to Mittelmeer in expectation of a party because it has the most avatars present...

...this is not a party.

We're holding the obsequies for the sim owner, Freddy Nightmare, who has moved on to the Big Skyplatform on August 1st.

If you want to come in and join anyway, you're highly advised to dress accordingly, i.e. in black.

Thank you for your attention.

On Saturday, August 9th, we will be having a celebration of life at the Bright Shore region. This region is owned and designed by our grid member Terri S (Eva Marie) who has done an amazing job of designing and decorating this region which is based on the movie Widow Clicquot . Madame Clicquot is credited with major breakthroughs, creating the first known vintage champagne in 1810, and inventing the riddling table process to clarify champagne in 1816. In 1818, she invented the first known blended rosé champagne by blending still red and white wines, a process still used by the majority of champagne producers. During the Napoleonic Wars, Madame Clicquot made strides in establishing her wine in royal courts throughout Europe, notably that of Imperial Russia. So Saturday we will be celebrating life and the things we can accomplish when we set our minds to it. Our DJ will be Maldrul Smith and the Hostess is Terri S (Eva Marie). Join us for some really great music and dancing and let's celebrate together. And have a glass of champagne with us. The celebration begins at 2pm grid time and the dress code is casual.

Die Geburt einer Band und ihr provokanter Name

Die Formation der Band Birth Control im Jahr 1966 in Berlin markierte den Beginn einer bemerkenswerten musikalischen Reise, die sich über Jahrzehnte erstrecken sollte. Aus den Vorgängerbands The Earls und The Gents hervorgegangen, legte diese Gruppe den Grundstein für eine der langlebigsten Karrieren in der deutschen Rockszene. Schon der Name „Birth Control“ war eine bewusste und provokante Wahl, die eine klare Stellungnahme gegen die Anti-Verhütungspolitik von Papst Paul VI. darstellte, insbesondere im Kontext seiner Enzyklika „Humanae Vitae“.

Still under construction, I try to put film or literary references here and there. For example, here, on the walls of the hut that serves as a food bank, advertisements for Soylent Green, bon appetit!

Hiya To All Of You!

Just a note here to let you know what is going on here! :D

It's FANTABULOUS NEWS, too! :D

Recently, the VivoSim Farming System updated all of there items.
So, I went over to a friends place where you can get the updated stuff.

He has made & is in the process of making a whole lot of new mesh items for the farming system! :D
He's made well near 300 vegetables & fruits . . . all mesh! :D

He's one of the beta testers on the team there over @ VivoSim.
So he found a way to implement the farming system update as it wasn't working properly.

I will keep everyone in touch with my findings as I went and got all the items that I could find there.
I am starting to revert my farm over to all of the updated products they have.
The scripts are all updated.

So, I am hoping there will be a whole lot less lag there from now on.
(Please give me some time to update everything. I will be updating one product at a time to make sure it works! ) :D

Please let me know if you have been lagging a whole lot! I am fixing that as we speak!

With the permission of Sharpened Razor:

I will be putting all the updated products that I have gotten in a new shop on my farming region where I have my stores. This store will be for only the updated products. I will still keep my store with the older products for those of you who have not updated as of yet!

I will be doing this within the next two weeks.

This is the LM to Sharpened Razor's region where he has all of these updated items at.

hop://utopia.outworldz.net:8002/Norti Farm/680/121/26

So when you come to my farm please excuse the mess! I am updating!

CIAO 4 NOW! :D

ALL HOPESTONE ATTRACTIONS HAVE MOVED!
NEW GRID: http://hg.CarnivaleGrid.com:8002/Magicland

To All Our Magicland Dreamers,

Howdy folks! Mickey Mouse here with news so big, it’s bigger-on-the-inside!

After almost 4 magical years in Neverworld, we’re moving Magicland to the all-new Carnivale Grid – and we’ve traveling like well, not quite royalty, but Time Lords! The Doctor has agreed to transport us and the entire park in their nifty contraption they call a “T.A.R.D.I.S.”.

(That’s short for “Totally Awesome Ride Distributing Infinite Surprises” – or so the Doctor tells me while doing that thing where they wave their glowing screwdriver at the parking meters. Long story.)

This magical blue box can fit:

All 30 Roller Coasters & Theme Rides (currently occupying the zero-gravity disco room)
All 14 Magical Light Parade Floats (the horses graciously agreed to wear diapers for the trip)
Every last churro stand (now accidentally time-locked to stay eternally crispy)
That singing topiary that gets really excited when Donald rants…. (he won’t leave without it)
Minnie’s entire shoe collection (they all look the same to me, but apparently “that one” is special)
Every last ounce of Magicland magic (can’t leave that behind!)
And still have room for Goofy’s “experimental” jellybean cannon!
Small print: May cause temporary time loops when Donald argues with the console. Not responsible for unexpected visits from Victorian-era carousel horses.

Set your watches for… actually nevermind, the Doctor says time is “wibbly” right now. Just meet us at Carnivale for the grand reopening – we’ll announce the date when we land! There will be games, prizes, movies and more!

Stay tuned folks & NEVER stop dreaming!

Your pal,
Mickey Mouse
Magicland Head Dreamer & Honorary Time Traveler

P.S. The Doctor says to remind everyone: DON’T TOUCH THE BLINKING BUTTONS. Especially the one that looks like a “multidimensional anti-temporal red or sometimes magenta jellybean”. Anyone know what a “multidimensional anti-temporal jellybean” looks like? Apparently that one’s important.

P.P.S. The Doctor let me take a brief glance into Magicland’s future, and I didn’t get to see much (spoilers, darling!) but I did see that the park is getting yet another full region expansion! It seems to be called “Tomorrowland” – I wonder what that’s about? There was also something about a “Sillyville”? Huh! Exciting times ahead it seems! Stay tuned!

New Beta - Version 7.08 of DreamGrid has the ability to schedule a restart anytime during the day or night on any day(s) of the week. It's also running the very latest core Opensim with PBR materials and works with the latest Firestorm viewers as well as the old viewers. Click Help-Update or download the installer and run it.

Opensim in DreamGrid is super efficient and is virtually free to run on your own hardware. Pic is a screen grab of my grid. I run Outworldz.com:9000 with 128+ regions (1,391 SL regions) on an Intel NUC. According to my UPS. my cost is exactly $3.53 per month for all those regions at 14 cents/kWh. I also have one with 396 regions on a laptop, loaded with OARs (2,170 SL sized regions) and it runs very smoothly in just 32 GB of RAM.

All absolutely free! No ads, no sign up. No strings attached. Free Grid-wide search, Grid-wide Publicity, free automatic DYN DNS for outworldz.net, inworldz.net, hyperica.com and ittbittymachine.net domains.

This is the only Opensim secured with Authenticode signed binaries. SOC_2 level security testeing, A+ DNS and SSL rating (all free) and it integrates into Opensimworld so no beacons are needed.

A Tribute to a Generous Soul: Fred Beckhusen
I am truly blessed to call Fred Beckhusen my friend. In all my life, I have never met someone so generous, loving, and quietly extraordinary. Fred’s heart is as vast as the grids he helps create, and yesterday, he left me in awe once again.
He invited me to test drive a magnificent stagecoach—complete with animated horses, with interior for two passengers and guest who sits next to driver. I thought it was a part of his own Silver Stirrup Stables project he created. But no—Fred had built it for us. As I climbed aboard and drove that beautiful coach, I felt transported to a time of dusty roads, tumbleweeds, and sagebrush. It wasn’t just a build; it was a moment, a memory, a gift from the past wrapped in pixels.
And this morning, I awoke to a message: he had packaged the stagecoach into an IAR for me. Not just to enjoy, but to share freely with others. Because that’s Fred. Always giving. Always humble. Never seeking the spotlight.
Fred Beckhusen is the real deal. He’s the steady heart behind Outworldz and DreamGrid, but more than that, he’s a rare and generous soul who enriches our lives every day without asking for a thing in return.
Thank you, Fred—from the depths of my heart. You bring dreams to life.
Visit the New Silver Stirrup Stables

Region: outworldz.com:9000/!New Silver Stirrup Stables/256/235/22

Saddle up and ride into something truly special—Fred Beckhusen's Silver Stirrup Stables is now open to visitors! Nestled in a scenic virtual countryside, this breathtaking region is filled with beautifully crafted horses ready to ride and a full set of animated jumping obstacles designed for excitement and skill.
Whether you're here to test your horse's agility or simply take in the immersive beauty of the build, you'll find a place that celebrates both fun and freedom. Fred has poured his heart into every detail—from the realistic horse animations to the expertly constructed jumps.
Bring a friend, grab a horse, and enjoy the ride. As with everything Fred creates, it’s free to explore and share. Come see what makes this man a legend in our world.
Thank you, Fred

I have debated bringing this masterpiece to the library...not that there is anything wrong with it...I think it is one of the greatest love stories of all time. I used to watch the movie at least once per year. But around 2017, my father started showing signs of dementia...vascular dementia, to be exact. Mini strokes that robbed him of more and more, until they took his life in 2020. Took me a few years to even grieve...I suppose because i had been bracing for the inevitable for about 3 years. So around 2023 or so, I finally allowed myself to rewatch the movie for this book (yes, i think it does it justice)...well, the tears finally came pouring out of me, like rain in a Sparks novel/movie. ;)

Anyways, this is an amazing novel, it will likely tug on your heart strings, if it has not already. For those few of you unfamiliar with the book nor the movie, I normally suggest watching movie versions first; I find they help me visualize the book better, I also find that a book can rarely disappoint and be less descriptive than a movie; but sometimes if we read the book 1st, we may be disappointed if the movie leaves something out, or portrays something different than we pictured or understood it. I won't give any spoilers; y'all can ordain what you wish based on what I said thus far. But, anyone who has not read this nor seen the movie...you are Truly missing out on something very special. Enjoy!

Today, especially for you, a short documentation of how I generate images, which can be a bit tricky, but doesn't have to be. Depending on the situation, I sometimes work quite differently.
Top left: the image I had an AI generate according to my specifications.
Next to it, on the right, after image fusion, for which I also have a program on my computer. I then had an AI modify this image again, as shown in the bottom right. The final result, bottom right, after post-processing (color, sharpening, etc.), also with a local program.
And now:
🧡Have a nice weekend everyone🧡
