Hello Everyone
By popular request, I'm bring back some of my classic homes.
First up is the Tea Room!

Here's a bit more about about the Classics Series ...
~ Half-Price Classics Information ~
These popular classics were constructed before the introduction of mesh, convex hull & prims larger than 10m to Second Life.
Though they are on my ever-growing renovation "To Do" list, I just haven't gotten around to making the changes necessary to update them. When I took them off the market, I discovered that there was still quite a bit of customer interest in them.
In order to satisfy this demand, I am currently offering them "as is" at half the original sale price until such time as an upgraded version is available.
With a little bit of love & attention you can reduce the Land Impact yourself by using Convex Hull on many of the link-sets and/or swapping out some of the smaller prims for larger ones.
On the other hand, you may just want to sit back and enjoy them in their current state as they really aren't that "prim heavy" to begin with.
Many thanks!
Tatiana
P.S. Is there a TTR Classic you're interested in that hasn't been added to the Sale Vendor? Give me a shout and I'll see what I can do!
Todays reply from Ning via Kos:
Thanks for writing us and apologies for the confusion. While there are known issues with darkened PNG files on both Ning 2.0 and 3.0, both of which have been escalated to our engineering team, we haven't stopped supporting PNG files. Hi there,
We've gone ahead and added StockBuz.ning.com to the list of affected networks and will follow up with you through this ticket when the issue is resolved or there is an update.
In the meantime, you should still be able to add images, though you may want to use JPG or GIF formats, as most reports of altered or darkened images we've gotten have been for images in the PNG file format.
Hello Everyone
Some of you have already pointed outthe "faded" photos problem to me. Seems that Ning is having problemsdisplaying png files.
See: BUG: Ning does not render png-formatted images correctly anymore
A number of tickets have already been filed and I'll keep an eye on the developments. In the meantime, loading jpg files still works well.
I'd also advise leaving your old png files just as they are as this problem will be resolved eventually.
Thanks!
P.S. A big shout out to Sofia von Essen and MarieLouise Harcourt for their help!
A fascinating story to be sure. I just finished The King's Grave: The Discovery of Richard III's Lost Burial Place and the Clues It Holds by Philippa Langley & Michael Jones.

Congratulations on your new shop locations. Everything looks grand!!
I love this exhibit!
Too much fun piecing together the back-story of these characters. Also the contrast between the two was most intriguing. I've suggested to Sere that they subtitle it "From Diderot to Deadwood" 
Thanks for the kind words, Jacon.
I think many of us fell into our roles here in SL and are continually juggling them 
Seems that you & I ponder many of the same things, Jacon
I have a lot of thoughts but will try to keep it short.
Overall I remain optimistic regarding the future of SL. I'm interested to see what SL2 will bring and keep reminding myself that the ability to adapt is essential for any business. To be clear, I believe that good business practices are relevant whether we're speaking of creators, merchants, landowners and/or the community at large.
This site exists because, like you,I believe that our niche community is much better off working together and it helps facilitatecollaboration by acting as a central location for information.
As can be expected with any group, the success of our collaboration has varied over time and I expect it willcontinue to do so. It's heartening to think that those endeavours that have survived the test of time have perhapsdone so because the people involved were honest, professional and interested in the well-being of the community at large. I think that if we all keep that in mind, it will go a long way towards what you want to accomplish.
Speaking of the community; merchants/landowners have a responsibility to provide goods & services that their clients desire. On the flip side, it's worth gently reminding community members that thehistorical environments they enjoy can use all the support they can get. Renting land, buying goods andlending a hand to organize events keep us all in business. Fortunately, there are supporters who do just that and I can't thank them enough.
Content theft is a subject that deserves a topic all its own so I'll leave if for now.
That seems like enough words for a start
Looking forward to hearing from others!
