cost me the life of one of my men , the price has gone up."

Phra Narai Lintel
Wikipedia: Phanom Rung is a Hindu Khmer Empire Temple complex set on the rim of an extinct volcano at 402 meters (1,319 ft) elevation. It is located in Buriram Province in the Isan region of Thailand, and was built at a time when Khmer social-political influences were significant in Srisaket. It was built of sandstone and laterite between the 10th and 13th centuries. It was a Hindu shrine dedicated to Shiva, and symbolizes Mount Kailash, his heavenly dwelling.
One of the most well-known elements of the temple is a decorative lintel placed above the eastern entrance to the central sanctuary. It depicts a reclining Vishnu or Vishnu Anantasayin, and is known in Thai as Thap Lang Narai Banthomsin (ทับหลังนารายณ์บรรทมสินธุ์).
The lintel is best known for its restitution from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1988. It had been stolen from the temple site in the 1960s and was acquired by the museum in 1967, where it was displayed for over twenty years, described as "the Birth of Brahma with Reclining Vishnu on a Makara". In early 1988, as restoration of the temple neared completion, calls were made by several parties in Thailand for its return. The issue became the subject of intense media attention, with some even accusing the US Government of facilitating the theft. The Thai government entered negotiations with the museum, which was unwilling to consider an unconditional return, since it had acquired the item in good faith. Finally, in October, the museum agreed to repatriate the lintel in exchange for a donation from the Chicago-based Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation. The lintel's arrival in Thailand on 10 November was widely celebrated, and was covered live on the national TV pool. It was restored to its original position on 7 December, marking the completion of the temple's restoration.
Kabuki is a maze of narrow alleyways located right next to Little China. At night, they turn into a bazaar for implants, organs, steroids, and much more. It's said anything a person could desire can be found in the Kabuki Market. This makes Watson a prime target for Scavs, a ruthless gang that kidnap and harvest people's organs and implants for resale on the black market.

Tofu and his cousin Filou often seem to share secrets. I'm not sure if I would really like to know what they are talking about. Sometimes ignorance is bliss ...
A pair of royal terns appear to be negotiating over a fish (in the male's beak) and what could follow. Will she or won't she? Stay tuned!

Peace negotiations between grandkids more complex than those at the UN finally culminated in a truce. My better half took this since I’ve been off my game for a week or so due to health issues … I’m posting this to cheer myself up a little.
"No refunds for rain damanged goods."
"Wait, what?"
I'm showing you what's possible with an old, broken emergency laptop and Gimp (my main computer died) so photography in SL isn't impossible, just more...challenging. I crashed several times trying to take this as my potato objected to the shadows.
Its actually a great week for RPers in SL - Fantasy Fair is now open with many sims to explore. Several of the Engine Room creators are present too.

Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh: An Allegory of the Dinteville Family, 1537
Master of the Dinteville Allegory (Netherlandish or French, active mid-16th century)
Oil on wood; 69 1/2 x 75 7/8 in. (176.5 x 192.7 cm)
Wentworth Fund, 1950 (50.70)
The protagonists in this elaborate allegory are the brothers Jean, François, Guillaume, and Gaucher de Dinteville, important members of the court of Francis I, king of France. Portrayed at a moment of crisis in their relations with the king, they participate in a narrative derived from Exodus 7:9. Moses and Aaron plead with Pharaoh to free the Israelites; to prove they are armed with the power of the Lord, Aaron changes his rod into a serpent. Depicted in the guise of Aaron is François II de Dinteville, bishop of Auxerre; his brother Jean is shown as Moses, and the younger brothers, Gaucher and Guillaume, stand behind them. The names and ages of the three latter brothers are inscribed on the hems of their robes. Pharaoh is a disguised portrait of Francis I. This painting hung in the Dinteville château of Polisy along with Holbein's Ambassadors (National Gallery, London). This fascinating allegory has stylistic affinities to the works of sixteenth-century Antwerp artists—in the emphatic gestures of the robed classical figures, in particular. The simplification and solidity of form, meanwhile, are more typical of French painting. Though the identity of the artist is unknown, the work represents a high level of technical accomplishment and suggests the hand of a Mannerist painter working in the circle of a Northern European court.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection contains more than two million works of art from around the world. It opened its doors on February 20, 1872, housed in a building located at 681 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Under their guidance of John Taylor Johnston and George Palmer Putnam, the Met's holdings, initially consisting of a Roman stone sarcophagus and 174 mostly European paintings, quickly outgrew the available space. In 1873, occasioned by the Met's purchase of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriot antiquities, the museum decamped from Fifth Avenue and took up residence at the Douglas Mansion on West 14th Street. However, these new accommodations were temporary; after negotiations with the city of New York, the Met acquired land on the east side of Central Park, where it built its permanent home, a red-brick Gothic Revival stone "mausoleum" designed by American architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold. As of 2006, the Met measures almost a quarter mile long and occupies more than two million square feet, more than 20 times the size of the original 1880 building.
In 2007, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was ranked #17 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967. The interior was designated in 1977.

After intense negotiations, he has signed… he is still struggling to recover, his shirt half-open, his skin marked by my kisses, and my panties between his fingers as a souvenir. My proper suit plays with appearances: bold slit, controlled allure, sharp elegance. Businesswoman or predator ? I’m sometimes accused of mixing work and pleasure. Maybe… But the results are here: contract signed, client satisfied, and me… without panties, but terribly satisfied. 💄💋😏

Agnes: Um, Dave, can I go outside?
Dave: I though you were just outside.
Agnes: I was.
Dave: See, no reason to go out again.
Agnes: I disagree. I want to go out now.
Dave: Does this have anything to do with the squirrel?
Agnes: Nope.
Dave: Good to know. Then what does it have to do with?
Agnes: The squirrel.
Dave: Pardon me?
Agnes: You asked if it had 'anything' to do with the squirrel. That was wrong because it has 'everything' to do with the squirrel!
Dave: You don't need to run outside to yell chase him down whenever you hear him chirping.
Agnes: That's where you're wrong. He needs me to chase him.
Dave: Really? Why can't he live his life peacefully?
Agnes: Because he's a jerk. Total jerk.
Dave: You don't need to go outside and chase him just because you think he's a jerk.
Agnes: Okay.... Can I go outside now?
Dave: Really? I though we settled this.
Agnes: You might think so, but we didn't. You said I couldn't go outside and chase him 'just because' I think he's a jerk. And I don't just think he's a jerk. I think he's both a jerk and annoying.
Dave: Really? This is how you're playing this?
Agnes: I have a long list of other things I think he is too. If I tell you all of them will you let me go outside again?

Jasper proffers his list to St. Nick hoping he can get everything he wants. Well, he has been a very good boy (mostly) so there's a chance.
