The House that Creamy Built

Hi everyone!  I'm still around in SL after a long break during summer and have been attempting to do a bit more building.

Anyone want this house I built?
It's a sort of New England wooden style affair and has 3 rooms on 2 floors. It's 95 prims, which is not as low prim as I intended, but I got a bit carried away.

It's a 'pay what you wish' item (from 1L), you can TP to the actual house at the store before you buy it, so you can decide how much you think it is worth (or how much you can afford), anything is appreciated :)

(furniture NOT included)
 I really enjoyed building this house, hope you like it too!

Also I'm currently making a couple of 8 prim skyboxes, so if this house is too high prim for you, the skyboxes be ready soon.

Alice in Psycholand

Something horrible happened and Alice needed to get away.She ran and ran until she was distracted by a rabbit and fell into a hole. She landed to find a small door. Where it led she didn't know but it couldn't be worse to go forward than to go back.The people of Wonderland were strange but they welcomed Alice with open arms. Little did they know that their dream land was welcoming a nightmare.

Style Scene: Ashton's Baptism Party @ Lancaster Hotel Manila

What a wonderful day September 28 was! The solemn baptism of my son, Ashton at EDSA Shrine was celebrated thereafter at Lancaster Hotel Manila. Both places were almost just across each other and doing the ceremony and celebrations in these spots was a great idea.

Our celebration was held at The Peak, 41st floor of Lancaster. View from the top:

Beer Buddies

Gavin + I felt like knockin' off work a li'l early today, so we grabbed a free beer + hit the dockside for some chillaxin'.
I slipped on this free purple plaid minidress by Samsara (the short bubble skirt is way cute) + the free Mr. Poet scarf that's been all over the feeds (it's color change + really worth a grab). -- Btw warm beer is not so tasty, as we discovered under this hot sun. *mops brow*

Extraneous beverage calorie love + fashionista kisses to all!

Ten unspoken lessons of September 11

By Peter Baofu, Ph.D.

41786.jpegAs the United States recently commemorated on September 11, 2010 the ninth anniversary of the hijacked airliner attacks on its soil on September 11, 2001, there are some unspoken lessons to learn.

These lessons are unspoken, because they are ignored by mainstream mass media, and they are true not just for the U.S. but also for all major powers in history, be they in the past, present, or future.

Although there can be many unspoken lessons, hereafter are 10 of them, solely for the illustration of a major point, in that, when a major power bombs, invades, occupies, regime-changes and exploits weaker countries, there are long-term consequences.

Consider, for illustration, the following 10 consequences as unspoken lessons of 9/11.

Firstly, the fighters in the weaker countries who oppose the imperial acts of the major power strike back whenever they have a chance. The case of the insurgents and militants in the Middle East who have targeted the U.S. troops in the region is a good historical example.

Secondly, those members in the major power who share the same religion and/or ideology of the fighters in the weaker countries join in the fight of striking back by engaging in domestic (or homegrown) terrorism for solidarity. The case of Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood in 2009, is a good historical example.

Thirdly, many in the major power lives in constant fear that others would plot against it in different ways. The case of the failed truck bombing in New York's Times Square in May, 2010 is a good historical example.

Fourthly, the major power creates draconian security measures in all segments of society (be they in banks, libraries, offices, airports, bus/train stations, and numerous other places), so they end up suffering from more unfreedom without necessarily feeling safer. The case of the awfully invasive power of the USA PATRIOT Act is a good historical example; likewise is the case about the excessive security checks at airports and other places, as well as the widespread installation of surveillance cameras everywhere: "The Big Brother is watching you."

Fifthly, the major power shows fanatic ruthlessness in eliminating all perceived enemies in the weaker countries (and also elsewhere) without giving a damn to the civilian lives of the natives, whom they regard as inferior (with Western neo-colonial condescension) and not worthy of much of anything -- and, for that matter, without caring much about the infrastructure, environment, and properties in them; all this subsequently contributes to more outrage and animosity against the major power everywhere. The case of the regional outrage against the U.S. in regard to the countless civilian deaths (and the widespread destruction of the infrastructure, environment, and properties) in Afghanistan and Iraq due to daily U.S. military strikes over the years is a good historical example.

Sixthly, the members in the major power ends up being more divided (e.g., in the context of the U.S., the pro-war camp vs. the anti-war camp, the mistrust between Christians and Muslims, etc). The case of the anti-war movement in the U.S. is a good historical example; likewise is the case about the public division over the planned Muslim cultural center in New York, which caused Terry Jones, a Florida Christian pastor, to threaten burning the Koran in 2010.

Seventhly, the major power nurtures a dehumanizing mindset among its own people, such that when its soldiers fight abroad, they commit atrocities, torture, and other forms of brutality against the natives; and when they return home, they suffer from the psychological traumas of various kinds. The case of Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse in Iraq by U.S. troops is a good historical example; likewise is the case about the high percentage of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans who have suffered from the so-called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) upon return to the U.S.

Eighthly, the major power traps itself into a prolonged cycle of violence, in which it continues to suffer from endless casualties and to consume huge scarce resources, while its enemies will fight it in an asymmetric warfare, with no end in sight, even if suffering from more losses in the short-term. The case of the more-than-three-trillion dollar cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as estimated by Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes (together with the death of 4,000+ U.S. soldiers and the numerous wounded ones in Iraq and Afghanistan), as of September 2010, is a good historical example.

Ninethly, the major power indulges itself in finding "terrorism" as a convenient excuse (just as people used "witch hunt" as a convenient excuse in medieval times) and use this excuse to eliminate other adversaries whom it dislikes (regardless of whether or not they have anything to do with terrorism), so in the process this increases more enemies everywhere. The case about the comment by Konstantin Sivkov in September, 2010 is a good historical example, when he said that "the United States is exaggerating the threat of terrorism in a bid to justify its military expansion and secure its military supremacy in the world. Terrorism is merely a method of waging struggle....Therefore, terrorism cannot be defeated under the current conditions."

And tenthly, in the end, the major power damages its own value ideal (e.g., freedom, equality, peace, etc.), as its chronic violence makes it less safe from countless threats and attacks from others and less free from the vicious cycle of violence. The case about the observation by William Pfaff in 2003 is a good historical example, when he wrote that "what actually has happened...is something Americans have yet to grasp, and that others have yet to say out loud: People outside the United States have stopped believing the American story."

If lessons like this are not learned, they will be repeated in future history, albeit in different ways, such that the incident of 9/11 will not be the last and will occur time and again in the future.

We are living in an alienating world of the vicious cycle of violence, as the war on terror has degenerated into a war on freedom and safety everywhere.

After all, this is one major point, among many others, that I already went to great lengths to explain in BEYOND DEMOCRACY TO POST-DEMOCRACY: CONCEIVING A BETTER MODEL OF GOVERNANCE TO SUPERSEDE DEMOCRACY (2005).


About the author: Dr. Peter Baofu is the author of 36 books, in which he proposed 45 new theories in different fields, ranging from the social sciences through the formal sciences and the natural sciences to the humanities, with the final convergence into a unified theory of everything. Some of his latest books on world affairs include "The Future of Post-Human War and Peace" (2010), "The Future of Post-Human Law" (2010), "The Future of Post-Human Mass Media" (2009), "Beyond the World of Titans, and the Remaking of World Order" (2007), "The Rise of Authoritarian Liberal Democracy" (2007), "Beyond Nature and Nurture" (2006), "Beyond Civilization to Post-Civilization" (2006), "Beyond Capitalism to Post-Capitalism" (2005), the 2 volumes of "Beyond Democracy to Post-Democracy" (2004), "The Future of Capitalism and Democracy" (2002), and the 2 volumes of "The Future of Human Civilization" (2000). The rest of his 36 books touch on numerous other fields in the natural sciences, the formal sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences -- ultimately for a unified theory of everything.

I will not make dirty references to the word SLOW

I was running over to DUunltd19 on the last day and I really liked the building it was housed in so I started to peak outside and discovered a whole bunch of my kind of happiness.  This is the first time in I can't tell you how long that I simply wandered around by myself and explored (shopped) with no particular mission in mind.  I wasn't blogging, I wasn't doing research for a post, I wasn't hunting or going to a lucky chair.  And I found great stuff, which I almost didn't blog, but it's too pretty and too sweet and the whole place is too tasteful to not share.  I am not showing you all the goodies I found so look around if you have the time.

Before I get too far into my tales of the SLOW sim, I wanted to gloat over the to-die-for jewelry that my awesome pal, Hempy Weezles from RIPE, is making for the upcoming jewelry fair.  The little bird skull pin is going to be a dollarbie and the hats (in other colors too) are going to be like insanely cheap unless she listens to me (which she probably won't do) and increases her price.  One of the reasons it's taken me three days to finish this post is I refused to take off this stuff.
The leggings are a dollarbie or cheapie at oyakin.  What I did was stretch the prims at the bottom to give them a slight flair.  They come in 3 different colors.  The babydoll top is not a freebie but at 90 L it's a good deal for adorable.

Before I forget, I completely forgot to shoot the adorable pink stripe flats that are the sim opening gift at oyakin so this is what I suggest.  When you get inside the store, stop at the table in the front room and get the darling shoes.  Then head to the back of the store and turn right down the hallway.  In the back of the next room there is a shelf with a bunch of freebies and dollarbies.  The leggings above and the dress and stockings in the photo below are items on the shelf.
The cute jewelry set is a new freebie at Beatnik and the old boots (in sky blue and grey) are are only 28 L at Clemantis. Every three days the color boot will change and on 10/1 they will be pink and green.  The boots don't seem to be mod or size change and they are size 0 so fair warning.
This fabulous, most excellent dress is a new group gift at Couverture, to celebrate the opening of SLOW.   There are so many ways to wear this sweet, flowy dress but I went casual and paired it with free leopard leggings from Beatnik as well a the darling feathers bag from RibboN.  Then to further delay me (<3), Sileny asked me my opinion on her skin for Humpday tomorrow and it's so cute!  Then Sabina Gully from Magika sent out an amazing subscriber gift of a fatpack of her new hair in the Delora style.
Sileny's new Twiggy skin has awesome painted on lashes which makes me very happy as I recently did some changes to my shape, not thinking that all my lashes would now have to be refitted.  While you are looking at my face, I wanted to tell you about this amazing little tat layer available for only 10 L at PXL. It is called a Skin smoother/lightener and it smoothes out all the unevenness of many skin tones.  If you are one of those people who have difficulty matching your skin tone to prim footed shoes you will find this especially helpful.  It can be used by either gender and is available thru this week.  Look for the box under the tree.  Magika's new hair is complete with all new textures and each color pack now contains 8 tones.  Color changes are now done thru a hud, reducing your inventory size.  The Delora style has 2 tones so what I did in the brown haired picture was use the blond hud for the secondary color to show how you can get additional effects if you have more than one color pack per style.

I'm usually quick and dirty so I hope you can forgive my yacking. Here are slurls and prices for all this stuff:
Oyakin:
   Black blouse: 90 L
   Gift dress: 0 L
   Leggings: 1 L
