    @spyvspyaeon Have you changed your passward yet? 😀 Figured it was something like that. # It may begin with a single plywood box, but it ends and dozens of badly textured linked button prims on a texture organizer. #SecondLife # At least I was able to fix it; hadn't backed up the organizer just after loading dozens of textures. # At least I got a lot of stuff sorted, thanks to a nudge from a post by @Mar_SL4Nowt # @peterwingfield Well done moo! (Greetings from an increasingly geriatric HL Watcher) # @isfullofcrap @AbelUndercity Oh, I can't wait to see the…

    Rep. Cliff Stearns, #SHAMEONYOU for “Investigating” #PlannedParenthood. Poor Women May Die, They Have A Right To Life Too

    In September, Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) launched an inquiry to determine whether Planned Parenthood uses public money to fund abortions. Planned Parenthood receives federal money but cannot use it to provide abortions. Komen has a long history of providing funding to various Planned Parenthood affiliates for such services as manual breast exams and referrals for mammograms and biopsies to check suspicious lumps for cancer. Although that money is not used for abortions, the Komen Foundation may have yielded to demands from antiabortion groups to sever its ties to Planned Parenthood.

    Susan G. Komen Foundation Elbows Out Charities #DontThinkPink

    This angers me, too. A friend’s partner died of liver cancer yesterday, and a RL family member is… probably not going to be around for the Relay For Life survivor’s lap in July. This is unjust; it stratifies cancer charities into “worthy” and “unworthy” if small charities can’t use the phrase or even the word “cure” for their events. I am still collecting links and trying to verify any relationship between Relay For Life, a charity of the American Cancer Society, and the Susan G Komen Foundation. I will no longer be buying products using the Susan G Konen foundation…

    NPR.org » Komen Charity Ends Grants To Planned Parenthood

    This is disturbing and so very wrong. The nation’s leading breast-cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, is halting its partnerships with Planned Parenthood affiliates — creating a bitter rift, linked to the abortion debate, between two iconic organizations that have assisted millions of women. The change will mean a cutoff of hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants, mainly for breast exams. Link: NPR.org » Komen Charity Ends Grants To Planned Parenthood

    It May Begin With A Plywood Box, But May End With “NOOOOOOOO!”

    Thanks to Mar’s SL For Nowt post, I was motivated to sort a lot of textures scattered through many folders – some were class downloads, some were unnecessary product ads from hunt gifts and purchases, a lot were unsorted textures from packs, some were retrieved from my indespensable ETO texture organizer and never sorted into project folders or storage. All well and good, except that at the end of the night, I accidentally retextured the organizer itself with a standard texture grid – ALL the buttons, forward/back buttons, categories, the lot. NOOOOOOOOOOO! I was up until 2am fixing it. But…

    The Jaegerdraught Hunt: Be A Jäger! #SecondLife #GirlGenius

    Congratulations to the Consulate of Europa Wulfenbach for putting together an extremely fun hunt, and for making “The Big Time” on the Second Life Destinations page. An entire sim, Inverbrackie, is devoted to wild, wacky, and wonderful builds, and members of the Consulate group and their friends have contributed everything needed to put together a Jägermonster avatar (read Girl Genius! Right now!). My young ward, Bugginia, will probably be embracing her inner Jägerkin, as she had a LOT of fun tromping around in the snow dodging snowballs (courtesy of wizardess Ordinal Malaprop) and inspecting the carnage typical of a lava-based…

    Tiltviewer: Awesome 3D Display Of Your #Flickr Stream Except It Requires Flash #iPadSad

    Thanks to a pointer from @LindaKellie, I explored the downloads, scripts and recommended tools for Second Life at Ferd Frederix’ incredible site Phaze Desmesne. This Flickr viewer thing is so very shiny. I had already spent days looking at the scripts, then realized thanks to a link from Linda Kellie’s free sculpts page that there were awesome sculpts and links to free tools at Ferd’s site. I can’t wait to play with this later, but I’m on an iPhone and this requires Flash. Thanks, Ferd! It’s people like you and Linda Kellie who keep inspiring content creators (just look at…
