There is a very sick individual who has been posting false comments accusing people of being a texture thief. I made an attempt to confront him and ask for proof, but he uses a fake email address of bnlnlknnll@njnlnlkj.com. He must be feeling guilty himself because he calls himself Thief. I guess it he figures it takes one to know one.
His IP address 82.42.165.147 is associated with his cable modem account with Virginmedia.com in Liverpool, England, I know a few more things about him which I will not reveal in public, but if he believes I or anyone else is using any of his graphics without permission he should contact that individual to indicate the graphic and why he feels it is his, and that contact should be made from a real email address so that a discussion can take place.
Otherwise I will just consider such accusations as coming from a very sick and disturbed mind.
You arrive to find your house ablaze, your precious pets inside…..it burns to the ground and you have nothing apart from the clothes you wear. Everything gone. It’s impossible to imagine the feeling of devastation, the grief, the sadness. Can you please read what I have to say on the attached note?
This happened to one of the school’s longest standing supporters and a past teacher, Jarrod Khandr. He is a lovely, lovely man, he is an army veteran who has served his country well and is kind and generous to all. If you did not know Jarrod, then please regard him as a real human being and a fellow Second Lifer…and even more, one of our own group. I kind of like to think of us as a family, silly and all as this might be…..
I am desperate to try and get some essential living items to him. Lindens and donations are fanastic, of course, but actually sending a physical item in RL may prove to be more acceptable to some of you. Some essentials that can be posted off are:
Pants Size: 34 Waist
Shirts and Tops: Large. 14.5 neck
Shoe Size: 11-12
Coat 36
Basics needed: blankets, clothes, socks, shoes, shirts, pants, sheets, etc.
Money for food and toiletries
Next need would be a used or refurbis PCU as he already has a monitor and keyboard he got as a gift
Any Info or resources that you can think of. He is already in touch with the Salvation Army and Red Cross.
But if you know of any other’s…that would be most appreciate. In the Atlanta Georgia area if possible.
Cash help can be sent to a paypal account email: gwendolynw2003@aol.com
Lindens Help can be sent to Jarrod’s partner Diamond Meness
As he has no perm address yet, Clothing and other items can be sent to a friend. Contact either Victoria Paule, DJ Earnshaw, or Professor Viper for the shipping address.
Thank you for taking the time to read my plea.

On December 17 the Happy Hippo Christmas Party began on the Beach, but it quickly had to be moved to the Gift Giving area adjacent to the Student Lounge on the roof of the school so our DJ could access the Land’s Media features for music we could dance to. And dance we did:

The music has stopped playing but the presents are still there, and will remain their until December 31. Be sure you get your presents.
I have been asked will I ever do the Scripting Classes again. The answer is yes, in fact the series will start on Tuesday, November 17 at 11 am.
I teach three times a week, Tuesday 11am SLT (which is 7pm in London), Wednesday 4pm SLT (which is 7pm in New York), and Sunday 6pm SLT (I would do 7pm West Coast, but it puts it a bit late for me). The classes are on a staggered schedule (and one week of the month I have to cancel the Sunday class because of a conflict). Check http://happyhippoeducation.com/classes.htm to see where we are at any given time, but the series is Build 1 Permissions, Build 2 Object Tab, Build 3 Textures Tab, Build 4 Features Tab, Scripting 1 Introduction to LSL, Scripting 2 Moving a Prim, Scripting 3 Communication, Scripting 4 Particles, Scripting 5 Teleporters, Scripting 6 Dialog Boxes.
I don’t know how many more scripting classes I will develop (it depends on the interest expressed by the students). When I finally run out of topics, the Sunday class will start the series again with Build 1 Permissions.
I crashed in to the end of your class Victoria, testing the teleport system in the reception which seems to work ok (yesterday I had problems, SL rezz I think))
Wow the caravans looked good
Gully 
I think this series is going great even this week I learn’t something I didn’t know
Classes Resume
I took some time off from classes a few weeks ago, to take care of several matters, but I am resuming classes this week. I was going to develop some beginner level scripting classes, but BogWraith Magic began teaching a very good beginners scripting class, so I decided to just make a few additions to my existing classes. Currently Bog’s class is just on Thursdays at 11:30pm SLT (primarilly for European students), but later in the school term he will offer the series at a later time.
My scripting classes certainly are not for beginners, but I believe that some Beginner Level 3 students, as well as Intermediate level students should be able to handle them, if they are willing to study between classes.
On Tuesday 1 PM SLT I will be presenting my Camera Controls class to the Non Profit Commons at their Ampitheater
On Tuesday 11 AM SLT (7PM GMT) I will teach
On Wednesday 4 PM SLT (7PM Eastern) I will teach
On Sunday 6 PM SLT I will resume my previous Scripting classes with
There are a number of good books on Second Life. I have
and they are all good. What books do you have, and do you recommend them?
Photo of Victoria’s Hot Air Balloon class recently…this class is always a lot of fun and as soon as the roar of the burners kick in the interest level always rises dramatically! This is an Intermediate2 to Advanced level build, but for those not quite at that level, the full tutorial is avalable as an Ezi Bild (in the school Pro Bild Store) so that you can take is slowly and build in private with your own screen and pics to guide you. Watch for the next class in Schedules.
