Once again a fun creation that you can blame on my sweet tooth. The Ice Cream Sunday Pavilion! You may need some diabetic medicine just looking at it, it's a delicious little build that you can have a lot of fun with especially if you have a fantasy region. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Our latest arrival at the Wildlife Preserve are some wild Namib Horses. These horses are believed to be the offspring of German Cavalry, and were possibly abandoned after world war one. They are hearty and athletic and generally fare well until drought season.. I invite you to visit the Game Preserve and travel the entire region to see many of the animals in their natural habitats. There is more to the preserve than the restaurant and museum at the arrival point. If you love to just take a walk in a peaceful region and see the animals, then you will enjoy this. Blessings and much love, Lavia

The E Grid is back up fully!

Tenants and Guests, you should be able to access now. and thank you for your patience!

HedFaktori Mission Statement:

Our aim is to provide stable, working, Full Permission products to the best of our ability and encourage others to utilise these assets in play or in further developement to enrich the virtual lives of everyone.

Our wish:

It is our sincerest wish that everyone dispenses with all the debates about rights and wrongs and accepts that what we do, we do for the purest of reasons and for the good of everyone.

Current Affairs Statement:

We are not concerned with traffic numbers or grid rankings and we have no desire to provide a mall or store and have our grid constantly feeding hungry travellers who take everything in a single visit. We provided items that could be used in stores and malls who do wish traffic and numbers and rankings and if that is how they want to play? We will not interfere. We should all be able to have fun and share the good things OS has to offer without any dramas. However, many people seem to have an issue with this and others also want to claim kudos for new products on their regions which we developed and they simply removed our logo and rebox them. As if this wasn't enough? They then restrict the perms to no copy or no trans or both. This is in direct contradiction to why we developed the assets in the first instance and this is why despite our 'Mission Statement' and wish to avoid dramas we have removed our products.
We will continue to develop and build on the assets we had always planned on doing and when the Open Sim community is ready to treat both our assets and our wishes with respect we may release them but until then we remain NotSorry.

It's that time of the year again when OSFest is nearly ready to open the doors of a new grid to exhibitors, merchants, and sponsors to start placing their creations before the official opening on September 15th. I know I've been working on my new exhibit since mid July.

OSFest (OpensimFest) is a big event with tons of exhibits from multiple grids, including individual exhibitors, merchants, and artists, as well as educators and grid owners. Each year they create a grid just for the festival with multiple regions and tons of performers that lasts 2 weeks. At the end they have a large celebration just before the entire grid is taken down until the next year.

If you wish to participate as an exhibitor, performer, or merchant, please go here to register for a parcel: https://www.opensimfest.com then click Register on the top menu line. Once the grid opens you'll receive a parcel number by email.

OSFest sponsors are those who support the grid monetarily to help offset the server and technical costs of running a short-term grid. Their support ensures the grid is free to everyone. If you would like to become a sponsor, go here to register where you can choose a support level you're comfortable with: https://www.opensimfest.com/sponsors

For those of you who would like to attend, you can find the calendar of events here: https://www.opensimfest.com/calendar

In Tribute - Performing avatars "In Tribute" to the stars of music!

Have you ever wished your favorite singers and groups were here performing in the virtual world? It's a fantasy I've always had myself!
Sadly that's very rare and so I have created In Tribute, a collection of avatars I have designed to pay tribute to some of our favorite performing artists.
In Tribute creates an avatar to represent the performing artist and has professional DJs play the musical backdrop to their stage performance here in the virtual world, as we dance and enjoy the visual show and concert

In Tribute takes many talented people to become the spectacular stage shows which are our goal! If you are interested in becoming a part of In Tribute or in booking us for an event please contact Cataplexia Numbers on Alternate Metaverse Grid or via email at: cataplexia@gmail.com

We are located on Alternate Metaverse Grid @ the region In Tribute.. alternatemetaverse.com8002:In Tribute (174, 132, 26)
Our tribute performances are strictly for Open Sim connected locations.
________________________________________________________________________________

What is expected of our performers?
You will be asked to wear a pre-made avatar to be a visual representation of a specific performer. you will have to dance and mimic singing live on stage while a DJ plays that performers music. People may call you rock star and hurl undies in your general direction. It's very fun :D If you are a DJ you may be asked to play the music as well as perform...this is even MORE fun :D It is best to know about the person you portray, the type of dancing or stance they do, instruments they play, their interaction with the crowd being mimicked adds a richer total tribute experience to the mix....

Presenting The CyberScan. A small handheld channel scanner. To those who need it, it will be invaluable. This one is more sophisticated than many sold on secondLife Marketplace, due to the advanced way listeners are handled in the scripts. It is super low lag, generating none, which is a miracle for a channel scanner. You can use it when you are scripting to listen to messages on a single channel or multiple channels. You can use it as a part of your anti-spy arsenal to listen to the hidden messages floating around in your sim, and make sure someone is not spying on you. You can also use it to troubleshoot sim lag generated by chatty objects, even on negative channels. This is a rare item, as it is the first one I've seen on the open grids. Get it at wizardry, or just ask me.
