Caribou travels today. We are at the OSfest Stage 4 at 2 pm SLT. Our own DJ Andron plays a Classic Mix of Happy Tunes. He stands in for Caribou co-owner Angelic who is unable to DJ today. We hope that we see many friends there tonight. At the same time we are sorry that Avatars from some grids are effectively closed out and we do not support this. Caribou is an open region and grid where all 18+ Avatars are always equally welcome. Find the event at grid.opensimfest.com:8022:Event4 Our homepage at http://www.caribougrid.com

ELVEN HUD version 20 released!!!
If you are an elf you need this hud! :) Recently updated, and many bug fixes.
The hud collapses to a small trifoil button which when clicked expands the buttons of the hud. What the buttons do:
1) Teleport - presents a menu to tp you to anyone in a sim.
2) Spy - presents you menu to zoom in on anyone on your sim.
3) Scrying - rezzes a green ball that you click. This ball has several menus. It is used for finding things. You click the ball and select the type of items you are looking for, such as agents, active, scripted prims, passive prims. Then it shows you a list of all such items near you. Then you click select and click an item in the menu. The ball shoots out a greenish stream of light to point to the item. Great for finding lost tiny things that you can't see.
4) Invisible - Turn off your ao and click invisible and you sink below the ground, seemingly disappearing from view. To return to view just click the round TRI-Foil button. Note clicking the round trifoil button ends most spells.
5) Sanctuary - This rezzes a lovely fantasy elven pavillion created by cat of alternate metaverse grid. Then... It tp's you to the top of your own ivory tower, giving you a view of the lands. To get rid of it when you're done, just click the trifoil button and the entire tower vanishes magically. You can also invite friends to sit at the top of the tower with you and contemplate the meaning of the forest. :)
6) Shield - This just rezzes a simple shield that will ask if it can attach to your avatar. To end this shield simply click the trifoil button. :)
7) Speed - This increases your walking, running, and flying speed by 3x the normal values. So you can zoom across your land at the speed of a wood elf. :) To stop and return to normal speed just click the speed button again. It will tell you in local chat your speed is returned to normal.
8) Attack - If you are on a land where you can rez, this will present a menu of people nearby. If you select a name, blue light will shoot from your hand and zoom to that person. The person will be caught up in a whirlwind of bluefire, and as they try to walk they will be lifted higher and higher off the sim. To end this magic effect just click the trifoil button.
~ Note ~ This is the only magic hud that is currently working due to recent changes in the scripting engine. I will go through the other huds eventually and update them to work again. Starting with the ones people request. Those huds are: wizard hud, witch hud, fairy hud, vampire hud.
Note: The radar hud and the multisim status reporter hud have been updated as of today to work with the current sim changes. All 3 huds ( elven hud, radar hud, and multisim status report hud ), are all available at wizardry.
Please enjoy and have fun.

DREAMGRID 5.497 IS OUT!!! :)
THE JOYS OF DREAMGRID. DreamGrid is a software by Fred Beckheusen that makes it super easy to set up your own grid on windows. Having your own grid means that you can back up your lands at a whim, or on a schedule you set. You also have the power to back up your own inventory. Why is this important? When a grid is down for maintenance you are at the mercy of other people relying on their timeline to get the grid back up and running. Having your own grid also lets you control your own npc's, and gives you vast amounts of power that you don't have if someone else is in charge. If you have a problem with a person you can block their entire grid, or just that person if you don't like them. You can create and control tides, and automate birds flying in the air. Another super cool feature dreamgrid has, is that it lets you just start up the regions people are in, or going to. This means you can have 500 different lands, but if only 10 people are on your grid, then only up to 10 would be active. So basically as people teleport around your 500 lands, only the lands they teleport to instantly load for them to enjoy. This gives you a vast amount of options. DreamGrid even comes with hundreds of ready-made lands you can click and install and instantly enjoy. It also means that you can run hundreds of regions on a small not very powerful computer at your home, as only the active regions people teleport to will be running.
DreamGrid has so many many options and features, to many to mention... That you don't have access to or even dream about if you are a member of someone elses grid. It's easy to run. Now of course there will be some people who have difficulty starting a program or are just technically dumb who will complain about dreamgrid, but these people really shouldn't be allowed near a computer in the first place. DreamGrid is dead simple to operate and has features such as auto restart a crashed region, auto restart all regions at a certain time similiar to secondLife's rolling restarts, and of course the ability to backup all your hard work and your precious inventory at a moments notice. Put it on an external drive and you will never again lose all your data. So give DreamGrid a try! It really is a work of art that deserves praise and recognition.

Goliath Gardens where you can become the bug, be careful of Emily though...


In a quiet corner of her family's backyard, Emily, a curious young girl with an insatiable appetite for learning, had embarked on her latest scientific inquiry. Armed with a magnifying glass and a boundless fascination for the natural world, she had become an amateur entomologist, devoting her time to the study of insects that inhabited the small ecosystem in her garden.

On this sunny afternoon, Emily's attention was captivated by a gleaming magnifying glass her grandmother had given her. She had heard tales of how sunlight could be harnessed as a powerful tool for investigation, and she couldn't resist the urge to experiment.

Emily decided to investigate the effects of focusing sunlight through her magnifying glass onto the tiny creatures that populated the leaves and flowers. She had a sense that this investigation might uncover something remarkable, and she was determined to document her findings.

With steady hands and a child's boundless curiosity, Emily positioned the magnifying glass between the blazing sun and a hapless ant that was going about its daily business. As the concentrated sunlight passed through the glass, it formed a pinpoint beam that bathed the unsuspecting ant in intense heat and light.

To her amazement, Emily observed the ant's reaction. It scurried frantically, its tiny legs moving in a blur, desperately seeking refuge from the intensified sunlight. The beam acted like a miniature solar oven, raising the temperature around the ant significantly. Emily realized that the magnifying glass could concentrate sunlight to a level that was uncomfortably hot for the insect.

Emily's experiments continued, and she began to notice other effects on various insects. Some insects, like butterflies and bees, seemed to be more resilient and could quickly escape the focused sunlight, while others, like smaller ants and beetles, were particularly susceptible to the heat.

As Emily meticulously documented her observations, she pondered the ecological significance of her findings. She wondered if insects had developed adaptations to avoid or tolerate the concentrated sunlight. Her research prompted questions about the role of natural selection in shaping the behaviors and physiology of insects in response to environmental factors like sunlight.

Emily's backyard experiments not only fueled her passion for entomology but also sparked her imagination about the intricate web of interactions in the natural world. As she continued her studies, she hoped that her discoveries would contribute to our understanding of insects' fascinating adaptations and behaviors under the unrelenting gaze of the sun.

In her quest to uncover the secrets of the miniature world in her backyard, Emily exemplified the spirit of scientific exploration, reminding us that even the simplest tools, like a magnifying glass and sunshine, can reveal wonders hidden in plain sight. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Goliath Gardens

# The Animal Cell vs The Plant Cell: The Duel of the Century (Under the Microscope)

Hello, lovers of science and fun! Today we're going to talk about a topic that seems boring but is as thrilling as a wrestling match. Yes, you read that right! We're talking about the never-ending battle between animal and plant cells. Imagine them as two superheroes duking it out in the ring of the body, each with their own superpowers.

## What Are They Basically Like?

### Animal Cell
It's the party animal of biology. It loves to be on the move, it's dynamic, and it comes in various shapes. It's more like a young person in a nightclub than a scholar in a library.

### Plant Cell
It's more like a zen monk. It's square, disciplined, and is generally found in an "ommmm" posture inside plants. Its shape is more rigid and, let's say, less "party-like."

## The Powers (Structures)

### Nucleus
Both cells have a nucleus. It's like their brain, the place where they store all the information needed to function.

### Cytoplasm
Imagine that the cytoplasm is like a dance hall, where everyone moves around and does their job. Both cells have one.

### Cell Membrane
Both have a cell membrane, kind of like the nightclub door that allows substances to enter and exit.

## The Differences (i.e., their unique superpowers)

### Cell Wall
The plant cell has a cell wall that the animal cell doesn't. It's like having Captain America's shield to protect itself.

### Chloroplasts
The plant cell is the only one that can perform photosynthesis thanks to its chloroplasts. It's like having an "Iron Man suit" that allows it to create its own energy.

### Lysosomes
The animal cell has lysosomes, responsible for digestion. It's as if it has its own internal Pac-Man that eats up waste.

### Vacuoles
Both cells have vacuoles, but the ones in plant cells are like "the millionaire's swimming pool," much larger and more luxurious.

### Centrioles
The animal cell has centrioles, useful in cell division. It's like having its own "cloning machine."

## in a nutshell
And there you have it, folks. As you can see, each cell has its charm and superpowers. But instead of competing, they work together to make this world a more incredible place.

So the next time you bite into a carrot or your pet strokes you, remember that there's an epic battle happening in the microscopic world, and now you know who the fighters are in that ring!

Until next time, may the (cellular) force be with you!

-----
# La Célula Animal vs La Célula Vegetal: El Duelo del Siglo (En Microscopio)

¡Hola, amantes de la ciencia y de la diversión! Hoy vamos a hablar de un tema que parece aburrido pero que es tan apasionante como un combate de lucha libre. ¡Sí, sí, has leído bien! Se trata de la interminable batalla entre las células animales y vegetales. Imagina que son como dos superhéroes que luchan en el ring del cuerpo, cada una con sus propias superhabilidades.

## ¿Cómo Son Básicamente?

### Célula Animal
Es la fiestera de la biología. Le encanta estar en movimiento, es dinámica y tiene formas variadas. Se parece más a un joven en una discoteca que a un erudito en una biblioteca.

### Célula Vegetal
Es más como un monje zen. Es cuadrada, disciplinada, y se encuentra generalmente en una postura de "ommmm" en el interior de las plantas. Su forma es más rígida y, digamos, menos "fiestera".

## Los Poderes (Estructuras)

### Núcleo
Ambas células tienen un núcleo. Es como su cerebro, el lugar donde guardan toda la información para funcionar.

### Citoplasma
Imagínate que el citoplasma es como un salón de baile, donde todo el mundo se mueve y hace su trabajo. Las dos células tienen uno.

### Membrana Celular
Las dos tienen una membrana celular, algo así como la puerta de la discoteca que permite la entrada y salida de sustancias.

## Las Diferencias (O sea, sus superpoderes únicos)

### Pared Celular
La célula vegetal tiene una pared celular que la célula animal no tiene. Es como tener un escudo de Capitán América que la protege.

### Cloroplastos
La célula vegetal es la única que puede hacer fotosíntesis gracias a sus cloroplastos. Es como si tuviera un "traje de Iron Man" que le permite crear su propia energía.

### Lisosomas
La célula animal tiene lisosomas, responsables de digerir las cosas. Es como si tuviera un pequeño Pac-Man interno que se come los desechos.

### Vacuolas
Ambas células tienen vacuolas, pero las de las células vegetales son como "la piscina del millonario", mucho más grandes y lujosas.

### Centríolos
La célula animal tiene centríolos, útiles en la división celular. Es como si tuviera su propia "máquina de clonación".

## Resumiendo
Y ahí lo tienes, amig@s. Como podéis ver, cada célula tiene su encanto y superpoderes. Pero en lugar de competir, trabajan juntas para hacer de este mundo un lugar más increíble.

Así que la próxima vez que muerdas una zanahoria o te acaricie tu mascota, recuerda que hay una batalla épica ocurriendo en el mundo microscópico, ¡y ahora sabes quiénes son los luchadores en ese ring!

Hasta la próxima, ¡y que la fuerza (celular) esté contigo!

The MultiSim Status Report hud is now available at wizardry. It's just a button you wear on screen. You click the button and it runs through a list of your sims, (you did edit the script and put in a list of YOUR sims right?), and it checks the status of the simulator for you and posts the result in local chat. The status can be: 1) UP 2) DOWN 3) STARTING 4) STOPPING 5) CRASHED 6) UNKNOWN. This amazing little device can prevent those strange and bizarre problems that happens when a sim is 'half-crashed' and doing weird and funky stuff to your inventory database.

My Grid recorder project. This project is one where you wear an attachment and when you go to other grids, it gets the name and address of the grid and saves it to a list. Unfortunately it's not very useful as many of the grids I go to have scripts turned off, in which case it doesnt work at all. Or... the hud gets reset on the journey there and doesn't work. So far in the past 2 years I've got a total of 9 grids in the list, although I have been to many many more grids. Thank you for all the nice people I've met out there and the many good people I have met and made friends with. If you are interested in this project for whatever reason, you need to make a website where you can run the php script and you need to wear an attachment that can get the name of the grid and send it to the list in the table. Maybe somebody can think of a use for it.

Here's the calendar of events for Saturday, the second day of OSFest, with a ton of great talent lined up for another day of partying plus our first satellite event!

On the calendar starting at 11 am pst is our first satellite event on another grid - this time at Utopia Skye Grid. The Golden Touch Theater will be performing a show celebrating 10 years of GT. The Golden Touch Theater has performed virtual dance and theatrical productions spanning many genres and styles. This show celebrates a history of those productions vibrant with colors, styles, music, and joy.
