Finding things to decorate a gym can be difficult.
Most of the things on Marketplace are old and sculpty... not very well textured.
Luckily BackBone has our backs with their new Industrial Locker Set.
Great adult and pg animations as well as amazingly textured... and did I mention low prim.
Backbone has knocked it out of the park with this collection. So if you are looking to build a gym for your house or rp sim... or just in need of a great bench or lockers check out BackBone at Man Cave today.

Taken at Lana (Now Closed)
"I'm tired..." She said, sliding down on the ground, hovering over to rest, her hair cascading down over her face.
A wet nose poked her forehead till she felt warm furs caressing her chest. Her arms wrapped around tight, face pressing into the softness and comfort. A sigh of relief escaped her lips.
"What benefit does fighting bring you anyway?" The lone one asked.
She took a moment to think of that question. "Validation? Answers? Truths?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Justice..." she whispered.
"And when you win, is it worth it?"
"Sometimes..." she admitted. "Other times I just accept...defeat."
[16:37] Zack Kaul: HI :) your one picture called defeat made me think of a poem by that name www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE8taOWjVbc
P.S. Really loved the poem Zack shared so I'm sharing it too!
Seweryn Krajewski - Najpiękniejsza
A girl that someone lied meanly
Night bar and glare of screens failed her
Give better dawn than she knows
Do not tell her that you have more beautiful than her
A city that she knows like dirty stain
Make disappear by your side like a bad dream
A bad lesson, which gave her that man,
Make disappear suddenly, like fear in the morning
Give, give that girl a white veil
Buy, buy two rings made of pure gold
Turn off, turn off the meanly smile of bad people
And then give, give that girl a clean hands
Go, go to her mother on Sunday
Fight, fight don't let time to defeat you.......
On Monte Calderico they settled in the 6th century BC. C. the first townsfolk, given its strategic importance for transhumance.
With the Punic wars takes place the conquest and establishment of a Roman city (the old Consaburum named by Plinio), at the foot of the Cerro Calderico, to be abandoned the town located on it. Consuegra reached a great development, being the main city of Carpetania, a key point on the roads to the north and south. Bridges, roads, a dam, an aqueduct and a circus were built. Consuegra is cited by classical authors such as Livy or Ptolemy. Through it the Roman road called "Via Laminium".
The majority of the Hispanic and Gothic population remained with the arrival of the Arabs. The castle dates back to this time. In the year 1085 Toledo falls before Alfonso VI. It seems that Consuegra had passed into the hands of Castile in 1083. In the year 1097 the son of El Cid Campeador, Diego, died in the battle of Consuegra. In this battle, the armies of Castile, commanded by King Alfonso VI, were defeated by the Almoravids commanded by Yusuf ibn Tasufin, changing hands again. It was later reconquered by Christians.
In 1150 Alfonso VII handed over his castle to his vassal Rodrigo Rodríguez. In 1183 the population, together with its alfoz, was donated by Alfonso VIII, with the approval of Pope Lucius III to the Sovereign Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (Order of Malta), which appointed Consuegra head of the Grand Priory of Castile and León, in La Mancha, taking the castle as its seat, and granting it the Fuero de Consuegra, a copy of the one in Cuenca. He emphasized in this period under his tutelage the defense after the battle of Alarcos in 1195. With the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, in 1212, the area finally stabilized.
Sobre el monte Calderico se asentaron en el siglo VI a. C. los primeros pueblos carpetanos, dada su importancia estratégica para la transhumancia.
Con las guerras púnicas se produce la conquista y asentamiento de una ciudad romana (la antigua Consaburum nombrada por Plinio), a los pies del Cerro Calderico, al ser abandonado el poblado situado sobre éste. Consuegra alcanzó un gran desarrollo, siendo la principal ciudad de la Carpetania, un punto clave en los caminos hacia el norte y el sur. Se construyeron puentes, vías, una presa, un acueducto y un circo. Consuegra es citada por autores clásicos como Tito Livio o Ptolomeo. Por ella discurría la calzada romana llamada "Vía Laminium".
La mayoría de la población hispana y goda permaneció con la llegada de los árabes. El castillo se remonta a esta época. En el año 1085 cae Toledo ante Alfonso VI. Parece que Consuegra había pasado a manos de Castilla en 1083. En el año 1097 moría en la batalla de Consuegra el hijo de El Cid Campeador, Diego. En esta batalla, los ejércitos de Castilla mandados por el rey Alfonso VI, fueron vencidos por los almorávides al mando de Yusuf ibn Tasufin, cambiando de nuevo de manos. Fue reconquistada posteriormente por los cristianos.
En 1150 Alfonso VII entregó a su vasallo Rodrigo Rodríguez el castillo. En 1183 la población, junto a su alfoz, fue donada por Alfonso VIII, con la aprobación del papa Lucio III a la Soberana Orden del Hospital de San Juan de Jerusalén (Orden de Malta), que nombró a Consuegra cabeza del Gran Priorato de Castilla y León, en La Mancha, tomando el castillo como sede, y otorgándola el Fuero de Consuegra, copia del de Cuenca. Destacó en esta época bajo su tutela la defensa tras la batalla de Alarcos en 1195. Con la Batalla de las Navas de Tolosa, en 1212, se estabilizó finalmente la zona.

These horse carriages are seldom seen in Bangladesh now a days. They failed to compete with their faster and cheaper to run cousins powered by automotive engines.

Loss: to discover that the aliens can look just like you.

‘You are not defeated when you lose. You are defeated when you quit.’ - Paulo Coelho
I enjoy trying to capture a fleeting expression and I’ve found that good potential for one exists immediately after a victory or a loss. While watching the sumo wrestlers bout their opponents in their training stables in Tokyo, I noticed that the winners remained very quiet and rather expressionless. It struck me rather early on that there would be no photos of crazy victory dances or celebrations in the dohyo that day, so I turned my attention to the runner up. Well here he is, with his hand on his head thinking about what he should change and how he should approach his next bout. Although he lost this time, he wasn’t defeated.

Remember those gourds and pumpkins I was drying out to use as bird houses this spring? Well the squirrels decided they would better serve as fall food! The large pumpkin was totally gutted! They destroyed 3 pumpkins and 5 gourds. Next year I'll dry them (the gourds not the squirrels) in the basement!

...::: Calum Scott - You are the reason :::...
There goes my heart beating
Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, ‘cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hands shaking
Cause you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
And I need you now
If I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
This one caused quite a Bear Jam on the Icefield Parkway, Alberta, Canada.
"Although they are called black bears, colours can range from black to cinnamon brown, silver-blue and occasionally even white. The white bears are called “Spirit” or” Kermode” bears. The black bear has a straight face profile and NO shoulder hump, he has shorter and darker claws.
Black bears have lost over 60 % of their historical range in North America. As human settlement increases, preserving large areas of undeveloped land where bears and other animals can thrive is vital. Other problems include a lack of food sources and water and denning sites.
Both black bears and grizzly bears hibernate in the winter. They eat enormous amounts of food in the autumn to prepare for this, to provide enough fat content to survive denning through the winter. When they emerge from the den in the spring, they are very hungry. Cubs are born in the winter den, so females in spring might have cubs with them, which they will defeat vigorously."
I'm rarely defeated on the hill as I study the forecast meticulously the night before. I knew the wind would be fairly strong but was not prepared for the gusts. When I got knocked over by the wind I knew it was time to give up not least because I had some scrambling ahead and another 300m of ascent to go.
BTW this is Garbh-bheinn and I'm on Druim Eadar Da Coire. I've already climbed the hill from the other side but will make this attempt again on a better day. I also had some trouble crossing burns - and the lower moorland was one big bog. Not the most pleasant of days out!
"Defeated by Love"
The sky was lit
by the splendor of the moon
So powerful
I fell to the ground
Your love
has made me sure
I am ready to forsake
this worldly life
and surrender
to the magnificence
of your Bering
(Rumi, 13th-century Persian poet)

“The thousandth day of the full -scale war in Ukraine.
A thousand days of blood, death, pain, destruction and annihilation. On February 24, 2022, the unjust Russian aggressor brought death and devastation to the Ukrainian land. But even at that dramatic moment and now, we do not stop believing that God is with us, and our victory comes from Him.
Therefore, this period is at the same time a period of great hope for the Ukrainian people. A thousand days of hope!….
On February 24, 2022, we were given three days. But today is the thousandth day of the great war. And we, witnesses of hope, firmly declare: Ukraine is wounded, but not defeated. Ukraine is tired, but it stands and will stand!” /Sviatoslav Shevchuk, Father and Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

It’s difficult to close the door on the things that once made us happy, that offered bright promise during dark times. Things that helped us find love or hope or happiness.
But the hard truth is that not everything can last forever and things end; sometimes abruptly, sometimes fading away slowly until they’re just a speck disappearing in the distance. We can’t hold onto things forever, no matter how firmly we fix our grasp upon them. We can’t force people to stay and seldom can we control the situations we find ourselves in.
But what we can do is remember one simple, undeniable reality. And that is that new prospects will always arise from the end of something else. That it’s okay to let go of something that ends, even when it’s devastatingly painful. Even when it’s something that seems like it’s being yanked away from you before you’re ready. The ending of things will sometimes feel excruciating, even when we deep down know that it’s the right thing, the only thing.
Who has ever started something new, something exciting, without finishing something first? It’s only when we’re defeated by the prospect of something ending that we think to pull ourselves up and move forward. Life is a process, a series of ups and downs. A sequence of unpredictable happenings. It’s not black and white and most of the events that fill up the timeline of our lives are very rarely planned or expected.
But isn’t that the whole point? Isn’t that what life is meant to be about? The things that end and the new opportunities that come out of them. The ways in which we fight and struggle and conquer and overcome.
One day you will wake up and it won’t hurt so bad. That you’ll go through entire days without playing out that ending in your mind. That soon there will be whole stretches of time when it never even crosses your mind, until one day it’s just an uncomfortable memory.
Know that one day you will look back and see that event not as the end, but as a starting point. As the pivot that turned everything around. As the thing that gave you the courage to try something new, something that would come to a beautiful fruition.
Let yourself realize that every wonderful thing that you’ve experienced is so because something else ended, not in spite of it.
Things will end, while others are just beginning.

Good Defeats Evil is a sculpture that combines traditional-style bronze work with a more contemporary material--American and Soviet missles. "Good" is represented by a depiction of St. George, who is astride a rearing horse. In his right hand he holds an enormous spear, with which he is slaying a writhing dragon, representing "Evil." The dragon lifts his head with one last attempt at resurgence, but it is clear that this is the dragon's last breath: the dragon's body, which is made of an American Pershing II missile and a Soviet SS20 missile, has been torn apart by St. George's spear."
