This just came up on my Youtube feed after the last song. The modern version of the song, perhaps better than the original.. For when two drummers just not enough to do a tune justice!

Mahavishnu Orchestra, an amazingly influential virtuoso group playing live in 1972. John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman, Rick Laird 0:00 Meeting of the Spirits/You know you know 11:36 Lotus on Irish Streams 21:00 Noonward Race

Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane's wife made some extraordinary music a leading proponent of Spiritual Jazz. I think I have posted this on here before, maybe 400 pages ago... so perhaps timely to put on here as reminder for those that might have missed it.

Curious why the bed is contacting a server? Been a while since I got my bed by them out... it did all sorts of things even had music in it if I remember right. Maybe see if you can get an update in the store? maybe they have an update for your bed that doesn't depend on a server to function?

In cases where in world vendors have run dry and are still making sales I would have thought it would be worth Linden Lab investigating, and if verified turning the boxes off whilst they contact the vendor to find out what is going on. Dismissing reports as resident to resident disputes and doing nothing increases the number of people losing money and losing faith in the way the economy works.

Some flamenco with Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin

Just found this a promotional live recording of Jan hammer's great Melodies album: Great to hear it live, a wonder it was never released to wider audience than radio stations.

Joni Mitchell version with Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, Don Alias:

Jeff Beck's version of a Mingus classic:

At the moment I am re-listening to his 70s music, he left his audience behind at the time but albums like Dark Magus & Agharta are great albums on re-appraisal. Distinctive, funky & noisy. Experimenting finding a different path to contempories like Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Billy Cobham and Stanley Clarke were going.

Another classic Miles Davis Album:

Some more great Jazz, opener to Ah Um: Miles Davis Genre making with his first electric album

The Labelle version was what made the song popular and great version, great arrangement a classic.. but this is the original

It seems to be 2016 when Ross, Calleta etc were moved to the Former or inactive hubs section. Plum and Violet moved there in 2014. The 2011 version of the page didn't have any section on former and inactive hubs. At the top of the page you can press the "revision history" button and you get a list of edits to the page by date, the Prev link in each listing shows some information about the edit and at the bottom how the page would have displayed at that time. I would have thought if you raise a support ticket to ask what happened at Ross to lose the Infohub status you should get an answer. It remains a great location to visit and to find things of interest to do.

My immediate thought on this was summed up by this quote: “I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.” Groucho Marx Anyone wanting the gated community experience can make their own or hang out in a Premium sandbox.

I am not entirely clear what I am seeing looking at the Revision history, it looks like Boardroom got added to that page in 2014.

There is a list on the Wiki, but it does need an update https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Infohub I checked a few and so far as I can tell, Iris, Boardroom, Pooley and Ahern won't let you set home there. Although with regards to Ahern the 3 adjacent regions all will let you set home there.

Shaming serves no constructive purpose, but naming does. In the example I gave (and I can think of at least one similar with a dance ball/hud seller) the naming would have at least been some notice that might have prevented many empty box sales. These were products sold from previously reliable vendors with solid reputations, and each item between 1.5KL$ and 20KL$. I imagine a lot of people suffered because of that. There is no need for shaming they probably suffered some personal tragedy. Shaming isn't productive. But a Caveat Emptor policy without any means for consumers to warn one another makes every purchase a gamble.

Post World War 2 consumer protection laws started to appear in europe and across the globe. Caveat Emptor is a fairly alien concept to people born since then. Linden Lab's approach my first encounter of it, and it has cost me and many others more money than I would have liked.

I am afraid the buyer beware at your own risk is the way Linden Lab operates, it seems to be a USA thing. No or weak consumer protection laws compared to Europe. I recall similar situations in the past with dances, in particular with the at the time biggest seller of dance packed intans. They left SL for whatever reason but left their large stores around selling empty boxes for at least a year. The creator of the intan tried to get the store shut down without timely success. For a year they were taking substantial payments from customers for empty boxes. Threads on the forums censored for naming and shaming, tickets complaining closed because of it being a resident to resident dispute. That just seems to be the way business is expected to be done in the USA.

I don't know that I am having this more recently, but it is frustrating and can result in important things being lost when cleaning out the lost and found folder if no copy. Paws and eyes from furry avatars, dance huds, jewelry etc. I found my teeth in there, for a week I was going around without my teeth in, no one mentioned it to me, presumably amused to see me looking less than my best !

You indicate routes are made by hud it might be better to allow setting the route through waypoints from a slurl list? There would perhaps be more control over the placement?
