Recently I have had a number of people requesting that I allow child avatars at friends-grid and I want to discuss this openly and honestly.
It is not my place to try and push my morals and values upon others....however, as a grid owner, it is my place to learn the laws of every country involved. In this situation, I need to understand the Child pornography laws of not only where our servers are located, but I also had to research and learn the laws of every country we have residents and guests from. We currently have residents from 30 countries and guests from another 35. People who say "laws dont apply " are incorrect on this subject. You may have servers in one country.....but all the laws of your resident's countries come into play also.
A good thing to remember is that because you have gotten away with something for 10 years does not make it legal. You may never get caught....and then again.....somebody with a grudge may turn you in.
I want to point out a recent post by Jerralyn Franzic . Jerralyn showed the cutest childs outfit ever! ....and she also made the wisest statement ...."I don't understand the hatred towards child avis in Open Sim. Sure, they shouldn't engage in adult activities and maybe not hang in Adult sims but otherwise, what's the problem?" Personally I would love to see kids riding ponies at my farm....and having fun being mermaids. If everyone in child avi were to abide by Jerralyn's statement, there would not be an issue.
However, lets talk about reality. Not all child avis are simply riding ponies and playing in the water. The simple truth is that many (not all) of these child avis are having sex. Some grids use this to boost their traffic. In some countries, including US, the graphic illustration of a child online having sex is 100% illegal. You see, it does not matter if the person behind the computer is 12 or 52......the visual computer generated depiction of a child (child avatar) involved in sex is very illegal in a number of countries. 18 U.S.C. § 2252 Many people will say their countries are different....and this is stupid. I did not make laws........but I need to abide by them. Before people jump on this and criticize me ....I would suggest you read the laws of your country....your servers country...and the laws of all your residents or guests. There are many misinformed people on this subject. I am not saying the laws are right or wrong......but learn the laws.....then comment. You need to learn laws for your servers country...and all your guests countries. This post is not about morals......it is about laws....of all the countries involved.
I have spent over 200 hours reading international laws. Some countries allow things that others do not. However, you have to consider all the laws because of guests.
In closing....do I hate kids and kids avis......nooooooo. I would love to be able to allow them to come to friends grid. However, this is a less than perfect world in which we live, and I have to look at the potential liability of allowing those child avis. Because of that, Child avis are not allowed on friends-grid......no exceptions! I am sad....because there are some wonderful people in kids avis that I do not get to have visit.
Friends-grid is an Adult community and we are looking for adults, with adult avi's who want to make this their main opensim home.

The Closet.
This amazing new product lets you drop in an item of clothing, and a picture of that clothing (or shoes, or hair) and click through the items in your closet. Then you can choose to have the item GIVEn to you, or to AUTOMATICALLY WEAR the item. Note: Please use copy items. If you find any bugs, please contact me and let me know. I'm leaving it at my welcome center for you to buy for 0$. cyberdatastorm.com:8002:SandBox (yes the doors open and close...) Note 2: The automatic WEAR only works if you are on dreamgrid, or if you own your own grid your on and have OSSL functions enabled. :) Note 3: This was Arielle's idea. So I think she should have the first one. But anybody can get one. Enjoy!

Feeling empty today. Monkey sits still and quietly and looks worried. Not a normal morning in Caribou.
My partnership ended last night. I want to tell openly about it as it brings some changes to Caribougrid. And I hope that it can help others who have gone through the same.
I am so happy that Andron remains in Caribou. He will be less here because of other obligations and responsibilities. And yes, we will stay close friends. Andron will continue to help me with the difficult tech issues. We share our home here and I see that there are always fresh flowers and something to eat in the kitchen.
But our partnership? It did not get a real chance, for many reasons. And the future? We see what it brings.
There are some changes in Caribou. Three 2x2 large regions are now away or empty. Monkey and me are starting to repair them and we hope to have Caribou back in shape soon.
Friends are welcome to help of course.
Caribou will remain open for all 18+ Avatars from all regions and grids. There will be no changes.
I hope that you will all continue to respect this so that we can serve as a meeting point for everyone, outside any grid conflicts.
My younger sister Christina Lion is 19+ and will help me in Caribou. Yanny who is a wee bit older likes to be a fairy so better that Christina takes the responsibility.
'Little Lion' Christina cried, but was happy that Andron and her cousins will stay, even if they can come more seldom.
So, at the end it did not turn out to be as bad a day as I had expected. But yes, an empty and lonely feeling came over me, which Monkey understood.
I still suffer from the exclusion that I wrote about earlier, and am always here to lend a listening ear if someone wants to talk about these things.
Looking at Monkey, I smile. I love you and need you.

Teleporting Issues?
I just became aware of a major flaw with firestorm and the solution that is on the Firestorm download page. I have been unable to TP unless I relog for last 3 days. After much research I realized this was a Firestorm SLURL issue.
Go to the firestorm download page and you will see the above information.
I have not changed my viewer settings or added any new viewers; but it appears some upgrade (probably windows) caused the SLURL function in Firestorm to no longer work properly.
As I follow up....I am teleporting perfectly now after installing this.
I am encosing the notes from firestorm :
What is this ?
SLURL Proxy is an application that will handle SLURLs on your Windows system. Clicking a SLURL on the web,
will open SLURL proxy, which will forward the SLURL to the viewer you have chosen.
Why is that interesting ?
Various Second Life viewers you might, or may already have installed, modify the way SLURLs are handled on your system,
and often cause problems when you uninstall certain viewers.
SLURL Proxy provides a user friendly way to correct this.
Upon start up, SLURL Proxy will check to see if it's the default SLURL handler.
If it is not, it will inform you about that, and ask you if you'd like to use SLURL Proxy as default instead.
When you have set SLURL Proxy as default,(or even before that) you can simply drag one or more viewer shortcuts onto the application window,
and they should be listed with viewer name, and icon.
SLURL Proxy allows you to add several viewers, and one always needs to be the default viewer to use.
The default viewer is the one where the checkbox is checked.
If you would like to change the default viewer, simply click the viewer of your choice in the list.
That's it.
If you wish to set a viewer as default SLURL handler instead of SLURL proxy, then you simply need to click
Set other SLURL handler in the menu, and drag the shortcut of your favourite viewer onto the window.
Requires .NET 3.5 and only runs on Windows

I have often considered my underwater worlds
to be my best build ever. It took 6 months to find things, build
destroy, build, adjust and redo. Much of the time was spent searching.
This week I realized.....the best thing I can do for Opensim
is help all of you build underwater worlds if you wish.
Textures Trees & Scripts
now offers a massive Underwater section!
Hundreds of fish, coral, 5 types of rays, sharks, octopus, anemones, kelp and much more!
Enjoy making your dreams come alive!

For the last 3 weeks, I have dealt with a intermittent issue on my grid that has about driven me nuts. I have tested, and eliminated possibilities …..without luck.
Yesterday two of the largest grid owners in open sim, Lone Wolf from Wolf Territories and Josh Boam from Aviworlds, took time from their busy schedules to help finally fix this issue. In addition , Rafael from Wolf Territories assisted. I cannot say thanks enough!
Although I work with Josh’s hosting business, this involved much more. Josh would not give up and recruited Lone Wolf.
In my opinion, maybe this is what opensim was designed to be: sharing of knowledge and helping each other.
Lone Wolf and Josh did not have to give up their time to help a tiny grid…..but they did!
Maybe we can all learn from these individuals!
Sharing knowledge is Caring
FYI. The default setting of 2 threadsets can cause major headaches depending on your region….it is way too low in some cases. You all probably know that…but I learned.

CLOSED!
That's it for this year. I would like to thank all of my loyal visitors who brought the sim to life. I hope you had a nice time. Many things that you suggested last year had been implemented and have brought a breath of fresh air into the sim.
Unfortunately, there were a few black sheep who didn't know how to behave. That's why I couldn't keep my promise to keep the sim open to everyone and everything this year.
Thanks also to the visitors who actually r e a l l y visited various Halloween Sims and then gave their great reviews.
I would like to thank you again for the many great encounters. It was an honor to be the host again this year.Hopefully we see you all back next year. Until then, have a good time.

As I stepped into the forest, the air thick with twilight, a soft glow began to emerge between the trees. Wisps of ethereal light danced gracefully, slowly moving like wispy tendrils of smoke, each one illuminated in vibrant hues of azure, emerald, and soft lavender. They floated just above the ground, weaving through the underbrush with an otherworldly elegance.
The colors shifted and flowed, casting a gentle luminescence that made the leaves shimmer as if dusted with starlight. I felt an overwhelming beauty wash over me, a breathtaking spectacle that tugged at the edges of my soul. Yet, with every captivating flicker, an unsettling chill crept up my spine.
* Gardens of Ghosts is part of the Haunted Halloween Isles and is best viewed at Midnight Setting

"When witches go riding and black cats are seen,the moon laughs and whispers,´tis near Halloween!"
Last night a very nasty lumbago reminded me that today is the beginning of meteorological autumn.
Time to open the gates to Autumnville.
For the 4th time you can enjoy the numerous autumn decorations (and take them with you!!) or get really scared. There is a lot to discover and fun for hours guaranteed.(Flying is an option but you will miss half of the fun!!
What's new? The space around "Día de los Muertos" has been completed, as well as some new things that have been added and distributed throughout the sim.
18856 prims are waiting to be discovered by you. (Hint..if nothing is rezzing after hypergrid teleport, please relog, that mostly helps a lot to see everything).
Remember..Most items,( and meanwhile more than a lot !) but not everything is for sale. Please remember and RESPECT that please. You can see beautiful things "made in open sim- for open sim" for example made by Kimm Starr, Cloee Heslop, Bibiana Bombinate and many more. Thank you!!
Your favorites the Wolftones, the Sanderson Sisters and the Mon-stars!! are already ready to entertain you. And now have fun!!

I collect bricks!
Not just normal bricks;

These are the kind of bricks that help

but why.......WHY would I collect UGLY BRICKS?
Because I have a few friends who love to build!

If I have a region listed "no fly" it is for a reason, mostly because if you fly in those regions you will miss the beauty of the hard work that was done to make it worth visiting in the first place. I know everybody likes to get around fast and if a region owner makes their land that you can fly over it that's all well and good, but if they have it set to no fly, why not respect that. I watched someone arrive, wait a moment, then they were flying which meant they had to use the command to allow them to override my settings and that, no matter how you cut it, is disrespectful and rude. So from now on, if I am on and I catch you flying in my no fly regions you will be banned, not because you flew but because you disrespected my settings and overrode them. I really don't mean to be a b**ch about things but this kind of blatant disrespect really gives me the red a**. Further when I spoke to this person they just hovered above me for a while then left without answering, again, very rude and disrespectful. Truth is, if you ask me nicely I would probably let you fly, and I also have teleporters out for fast travel through the region. Just don't use the command to override the settings I have. Thank you. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

A special Shoutout to Thirza Ember and HG Safari group! I was honored to be included in your tour and have many new friends.
On your next visit, you can venture into the dark depths of a labyrinthine cavern, the promise of treasure mingling with the dread of what lies ahead. The shadows twist and turn, and soon, you find yourselves confronted by vengeful ghosts, their wails echoing off the damp stone walls.
In a frantic scramble to evade the spirits, you will rush through the narrow passages, but the caverns are alive with surprises. Cobwebs, thick and sticky, cling to your faces, and startled bats flutter out from the shadows, tangling in your hair.
The atmosphere is thick with tension, laughter, and the inevitable fear of what lurks just beyond the flickering light of their torches.

As everyone knows ufo's are everywhere. TV shows are rampant with bug-eyed toothless people who swear they seen one. Based on world wide ufo reporting we are getting visited on earth about 8 million times a year... Either that or a LOT of people are LYING for the sake of LYING. "I wuz standin in uh field with bubba and milford, when all uh sudden a brite lite comes down out the sky an it kep on gittin closer an closer. We dun did try to git sum pictures but are camera was messed up so we got this fuzzy out of focus grainy 1932 film exposure usin granny hawkins camera. Y'all bleev at don't ya? I sware we ain lyin! Y'all bleev me don't ya? Sure nuff, Sho' did...."
Even worse are the liars who SWEAR on their life that they were abducted and probed in their anuses. I can just see the aliens now. "Zyphod let's poke around in this ones butthole for a while, for no good reason whatsoever. I mean, like, we just flew 30 trillion miles from our home planet to look inside buttholes, so get some good pictures and for Dylarg's sake, don't use granny hawkins camera!"

Leather has long been associated with luxury and sophistication. Its rich texture, distinct smell, and timeless appeal evoke a sense of opulence and prestige. Throughout history, leather has been used to craft items for the elite, symbolizing wealth, status, and refinement.

What can you do with a 1 sim parcel?
In virtual worlds, the space you create and inhabit can become deeply personal and reflective of your imagination, preferences, and interests.
Ultimately, your virtual world is a reflection of you—your creativity, interests, and how you choose to interact with others in the digital realm. It’s a canvas where you can craft experiences that are uniquely yours, making the virtual world a deeply personal space indeed.
We are looking for people who want to be creative, and create their own special place in virtual worlds. I am not looking for free land collectors, but people who want to be part of a multi cultural community. Contact @zuzubahro or @safinemahoe2 for details.

Pictured above......typical product from Friends mall
I have tried to tell people that our mall is a little different; but tonight I want to show you one of our best selling products - the amazing horses from my friend Roland Francis.
Most of you know about Roland and his horses....but I am going to brag anyways. I used to raise horses in SL. You dont even want to know how much I spent on food.....and then the horses were not naturally grazing. If you found ones that were...you could not ride them. I have tried every horse I found in Second Life and Opensim, and I honestly believe Roland's horses offer the best ride and most realistic animations.
So....you might ask...what does this have to do with a mall? We are honored to be able to offer Rolands horses to you here at Friends Mall and I have built a special path to let you try them. Ride over the mountains...past the pond...and the long oceanside trail....and I am sure you will fall in love with these horses.
Go to the Equitacion Store at Friends Mall.
hop://login.friends-grid.com:8002/Friends%20Mall/479/340/2...
Then walk out the back of the store to take a horse for a ride. When you arrive back at the building, you can get your own horse rezzer......it is called HHorse rezzer v2.0 and is inside the stable building at the Mall.
These horses are wonderful! Thank you Roland!

This is not like where I used to live......the people there were not real people"

Textures play a crucial role in conveying emotions in Opensim by adding depth, realism, and atmosphere to the digital environment. Here's how they achieve this:
Visual Representation: Textures provide visual cues that evoke specific emotions. For example, rough, jagged textures might evoke feelings of danger or discomfort, while smooth, soft textures might evoke feelings of calmness or safety. By carefully selecting textures, designers can create environments that align with the desired emotional tone.
Color Psychology: Textures are often accompanied by colors, and different colors are known to evoke different emotional responses. Warm colors like reds, oranges, and yellows can evoke feelings of excitement or passion, while cool colors like blues and greens can evoke feelings of calmness or sadness. Texture artists can use color psychology in conjunction with textures to enhance emotional impact.
Immersive Experience: High-quality textures can enhance immersion by making the virtual environment feel more realistic. When users feel like they are interacting with a lifelike world, they are more likely to become emotionally engaged with the experience. For example, a beautifully textured forest scene with sunlight filtering through the trees can evoke feelings of awe and wonder.
Association and Memory: Textures can evoke emotions through association with real-world experiences. For example, the texture of a cozy, well-worn sweater might evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia, while the texture of rusted metal might evoke feelings of decay or abandonment. By leveraging these associations, designers can evoke specific emotional responses in users.
Narrative Support: Textures can support the narrative of a virtual world by reinforcing its themes and motifs. For example, a dystopian cityscape might feature textures that convey decay, oppression, and despair, aligning with the narrative's themes. By immersing users in a visually cohesive environment, textures can enhance emotional storytelling.
User Interaction: Textures can influence how users interact with virtual objects and environments, which in turn can evoke emotions. For example, a rough texture might make a virtual object feel challenging to touch, evoking feelings of frustration or determination, while a soft texture might make it feel comforting and inviting.
By carefully selecting and designing textures, creators can evoke specific emotional responses in users, enhancing the overall experience of Opensim.

Feeling the gentle sway of the horse beneath you as it navigates the winding path between towering trees and lush foliage. The sound of the rain tapping against the leaves overhead is soothing, and you feel invigorated by the fresh, tropical air.
As you ride deeper into the forest, you spot vibrant flowers in every color of the rainbow. Some are cascading down from tree trunks, while others are perched high above your head on vines. The air is filled with the sweet fragrance of blossoms and the buzz of hummingbirds flitting from one flower to the next.
Monkey calls echo through the trees, and you catch glimpses of chimpanzees swinging from branch to branch. You marvel at the natural beauty all around you, feeling grateful for the opportunity to experience such wonder.
As the rain begins to taper off, you come upon a clearing where a group of macaws are preening in a tree. Their magnificent colors are a feast for your eyes, and you sit quietly on your horse, just taking it all in.
As the sun begins to peak through the trees, you dismount your horse and take a moment to thank it for the amazing experience. You leave the rainforest feeling refreshed, and in awe of the stunningly beautiful place we call home.

The ancient manuscript, worn and frail, had survived not just the ravages of time but the trauma of two world wars and the Great Depression. The pages, yellowed and fragile, were etched with symbols and words in a script that seemed to waver like shadows in the dim light. The ink, though faded, still held traces of something vital—a secret long buried in the folds of history.
It had belonged to your grandfather. You'd often heard stories of him as a man of few words, a man who carried with him a sense of mystery, a presence that couldn’t quite be pinned down. He was said to have been involved in things—things that no one ever spoke about in detail. People had whispered of his involvement in covert operations, of missions that seemed too important to speak of, even after his death.
But now, as you unfolded the manuscript, a sense of recognition tugged at your heart. The writing on the pages seemed to call to you, as though the words were waiting for you to decipher them. The first few lines were barely legible, but as your fingers traced the parchment, something stirred within you—a deep, unshakable feeling that this manuscript contained the answers to the questions you’d long held about your family's past.
