I'm sorry I have to share the news that Flynn Sheridan passed away over the weekend. Many of our friends know that he was fighting a decade long battle with cancer. Please remember him with joy and happiness. Surf a wave in his honor and consider supporting RFL. Love to you all.

RIP Flynn https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...

I love challenges, but my recent review mentioned that my belly button rings are not rigged for Athena. Athena is not a standard avatar shape so when rigging with Avastar it isn't quite right. My belly button rings are meant to attach to the belly for standard shapes. I just added a new Peace sign belly button ring that attaches to the standard avatar belly. I never say never, but this time I am - I don't want to take a ripped rig into blender to please my critics.

Luxor is my home and a place of meditation and mystery for spiritual pilgrims. The region rewards those who are patient, still, and listening, for there are quiet songs that will play at various locations if you stand and wait. Shared environment and higher graphics will complete your experience in this place of Peace. I am here often so please say Hi if you see me

Nothing is currently for sale here but eventually I'll open a little shop of antiquities.

Are you looking for some treasure? An experience? Something to do on a lazy afternoon?
Use Shared Environment for the best experience. Have sound up. Graphics as high as your rig can take.

Now hop on a Dragon and come to visit The Land Of Xzar and explore the unique town of Devil's Fork. This is one of the gates that will get you into Devil's Fork.
WELCOME!!!
Take your time to explore this unique, one-of-a-kind build. Except for one or three, all the buildings in the town were built by me over time, across several grids I have called home at one time or another.

Thank the Gods for suitcases and transfer abilities so I didn't lose my creations! Grids come and go so protect your assets!! You won’t find cookie-cutter buildings here that you see everywhere else. Some were built with a plan and some had Magic infused in them because I had no idea where I was going with it, I just started throwing down prims and hoped for the best! :)

Anyway, if you have some time and enjoy new experiences, come explore the town and see what treasures are inside the shops. Most items are free to copy including many of my original creations. There is a Magik Shop that is a must-see! The movie theater (not my build) has a working screen to watch movies that I did make. Good for a Date Night!

The 50-60s Shell Station is an old build and I had to make most of the textures for it, so that may be of interest to check out. Be sure and explore the Cathedral of the Ancients and the Robotics office building across from it. Don’t cam, walk inside, enjoy exploring. Hear the sounds.

To relax, have a drink at one of several bars in town with your friends and listen to the sounds of the town..or hit play on the music. I highly recommend Charlie's Bar, but don't bring a crowd as it is a hole-in-the-wall sort of joint. Literally.

I found the Industrial part of town a bit of a challenge. It was fun to make most of the buildings and you want to have your sound up as there is a lot going on in that part of town! I think it was harder for me to build as I am the least familiar with that sort of industry. Plus “stuff” isn’t as easy to find. Let me know what you think.

If you have not been to The Land Of Xzar, why not? Today I am suggesting (and inviting) everyone who cares to visit, to check out Devil's Fork. But the land has so much much more for you to discover...

If you made it this far, THANKS for reading, and I hope you will enjoy exploring Devil's Fork as much as I enjoyed building it. Let me know what you think of my little town.

In honor of the first virgin atlantic flight. Come get your copy as you like. Just always share it forever. hop://hg.osgrid.org:80/Maze Airport/677/204/28
Set up for ubode...if you want bullet...toggle it.

New no poseball animated ADULT furniture unique to Spoiled Diva's Adult Freebbie Store. The ADULT and PG scripted furniture stores are now located on The Spoiled Diva, no need to visit Silver Oak Hills anymore. The store on Silver Oak Hills has been closed.

Apologies to those who had trouble taking copies of the new items at the Diva Store in Silver Oak Hills. The permissions on the items have now been fixed and you can once again get copies. The boxed items are still to be fixed but all the items on display have been updated.

MY FRIENDS LIST DOESN'T WORK HALF THE TIME.... The reason is very simple. Look at your calling cards, sort inventory by name in the selection field. Many people may find multiple contacts for the same person. Delete the duplicates. I had as many as 40 calling cards for 1 person. Many other cards were duplicated many times as well. Once I removed all the duplicates (by hand), the friends list started working much much better. In all I removed over 5000 duplicates from my friends list. Check it out, it might be you have the same problem. Also check the sub folders too.

Presenting Elite Ban 2023. How it works. This device allows you to block a person in the red box, then all the green boxes on all your sims get updated through http with the information. Now you can put in your block list in 1 spot and have it go out to all your sims! No more jumping sim to sim to update your block list in each sim! Do it from one central location, and have the system do it for you! This amazing new invention will save you time and frustration! A great device to have a your disposal! :)

Brand new for you, this display is for just about any American Patriotic activity you might have, but it was made specifically for Memorial Day (May 27th 2023) and of course the 4th of July!! It's in the Star Jinn Palisade Mall at the Create A Scene Garden Center...it's free and full perm - Blessings and much love, Lavia

The latest of my builds now on display at the mall, the sales box is in front of the house and it is open to all to explore the house inside and out. It does have unlinked doors so if you get it be sure to set it out in edit and keep it in edit until it's positioned. This beautiful home is yours for free to use on your region and I hope you love it. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

I want to thank everyone that came to my Grand Opening. Thanks to all of you, it was a fun party. I appreciate the support and new friendships I made. Our total count was 41...me being the 1. :) A special thanks to Lavia and Unadecal for helping me spread the word, and Una especially for being there to make sure things ran smoothly (they did) and always being supportive of my work. Well, Lavia is always supportive too. Love you both! I also want to thank Metal Tango for providing the music, including her own music. She has her own band in RL and if we can ever talk her into performing inworld...she would shoot to total "Stardom"! She is that GOOD!
The Land Of Xzar is now open for visitors so please come any time and explore. I have spent the past 6 months rebuilding for the 5th time!! Now I get OARs, so this should be the last build, though you are never truly finished, I think. Like my castle. It is like the Winchester house in CA. It keeps growing. The whole region is divided into parcels, including the rivers so they have their own parcel and names. They all have their own EEP as well. There are a few parcels I am still working on, but the rest is pretty much done. Be sure and have your viewer set to shared environment and have sound on as there is sound everywhere. There IS music, but you are missing out if that is what you are listening to rather than the sounds of the land, though I am still working on adding more as there are still some silent pockets. Don't be afraid to say hi if you see me and I promise I won't bother you as I want you to enjoy exploring. The Land Of Xzar is the visual of my upcoming novel by the same name. It should be out by the end of the year. Thanks again to everyone that came. You all ROCK!!!

I had a request this morning asking me to make a ring for the Divas! Which made me smile, I do love the Divas!! This is the ultimate in cocktail rings, have a nice day today~virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

I currently have regions on four grids, three of which are part of the NGC (Next Generation Core) group of grids (8-10 grids at last count), who together are developing their own improved fork of Opensim. All three have great owners who can be easily reached through dedicated grid channels on Discord, and all have been tremendously supportive of my work.

Of those three, Wolf Territories Grid has become my main location (the other two are Mobius Grid and Utopia Skye Grid). All NGC grid owners are deeply committed to making their grid the best possible for their users. That is especially true for Lone Wolf at Wolf Territories when it comes to speed, security, stability, and the organization of servers and architecture.

For example, look at the console pictured here. By logging in to the website, multiple options are available to me: Restart the region, Update the map of the region, Download the most current OAR, Backup the region to create a new OAR that I can then download, or flatten the region terrain. By clicking Edit, additional options open up: I can change the region name, change the region currency from Gloebits to the local currency, or change the region physics from Ubode to Bulletsim.

And all those things we hope will work on a grid do here: Group notifications, Offline messages sent to email, a working Destination Guide, region crossings, and local currency transaction history, among others. I for one am deeply appreciative.

I have a small selection of Japanese inspired structures and accessories at Lunaria Emporium, such as tea houses, garden pavilions, torii gates, bridges, art, sculptures, lighting, and a lovely mesh Sakura Cherry Tree, with or without Kodama spirits. Everything is available either inside the store or on an outside display area.

You can find my work at these locations:

Thank you @FredBeckhusen for lending me a hand with the SkyRealm Observatory! Fred finished up the major parts of the OAR tonight and when creating the sim, I loved Darkness Papp's Rivendell surround and landscaping and thought the Observatory would fit nicely there, so I merged the two and did a bit of arranging to combine the two. I still have tweaking to do but we are getting closer~Thank you!!

Star Ravenhurst and I were honored to be on the Inworld Review program today, March 19th to be interviewed about Masala Al Kohav, Star Jinn Palisade Mall. It was an awesome time and it really let us talk about why we do what we do and what we have to offer. I'm including a link so you can watch it if you like. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
