BUILDING THE FOUNDATION To Start with - What is a PRIM? 1. Is the basic building block for building all constructable objects in the virtual world.

2. A Virtual Worlds term meaning primitive shape such as a cube, sphere, torus, or pyramid.

3. Elementary objects like cubes, spheres or cylinders. Once created, they look like wood.

4. Are the basic elements of Virtual World buildings. If you imagine every object of VW as a building made with bricks, each brick and 'a prim. The prim can have various forms even three-dimensional, be changed (color, elongated, shortened, zoom ...) and assembled together in the construction of objects. The wooden cube that happens to see frequently and 'the prim more widespread.

5. A primitive, or prim, is a single-part object. Multi-part objects will have multiple parts (“prims”).

In Virtual Worlds, virtual physical objects such as cars, houses, jewelry, and even less obvious things like hair and clothing are made out of one or more prims. Objects made from prims are usually created in-world using the built-in object editing tool.

In world on Alternate Metaverse there has been a "Prim Building" Classes happening once a week on Koryphon 2 Region given by Rique Giano at 12Noon on Saturdays for the past Month.

TEXAS RANCH Region Owner Jaxson Texas

Jaxson is a DeeJay, AMV - Events Manager, AMV - Mentor and a proud Owner of Country Rocks and The Babylon and also the Lead Guitarist for a Live Band called The Sharpshooters.

Jaxson is a very down to earth country boy from South East Texas, its yes sir, no mam, open up doors, pull out chairs, easy on the swears, he loves his friends and family very much.

Jaxson's Dream on Alternate Metaverse is to make it as much as home as possible with all the green and trees and waterways and of course to have some horses and some farm land, but all in all eventually he wants it to look like (Home) just as in his home Town of South East Texas.

Country Rocks just had a big facelift thanks to Lilie Finesmith. She did some awesome work making it look just like the real life place called ' Gruene Hall ' in Real Life.

Gruene Hall - is Texas' Oldest Original Dance Hall.

So it really hits home for Jaxson and it also gives his region a better look of Texas.

10

The Babylon New Luxury Club in the Heart of Texas, with all kinds of music for your pleasure with Great Atmosphere in a Comfortable Enviroment.

The Babylon Club, which was built also by Lilie Finesmith for Jaxson has the same detailing and design as it is from the movie ' Scarface ', it is one of Jaxson's personal favourites of all time movies even though it has nothing to do with his Region Theme of ' Texas '.

He just loves the design and the club from the Movie and had to include the Babylon Club on his Region. The Babylon Club is a all Genre Music Club where people can come, relax and Dance and have a great time together.

Jaxson's dream on the Alternate Metaverse at the Texas Ranch is to make it look as close to his home town, where people can come and feel welcomed at, there is alot to see around the Texas Ranch Region itself.

MENU OF THE MONTH

Leek & greens lasagne Merge cheesy leeks and a classic lasagne to make our mouth-watering family-sized pasta dish. This is an easy and impressive bubbling masterpiece. - Prep: 35 mins / Serves 4 / Cook:1 hr -

Ingredients

fresh nutmeg , for grating 100g cheddar , grated 30g parmesan , grated 3 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for the tin 2 garlic cloves , crushed 50g butter ½ green chilli , sliced 1 bay leaf rosemary sprig , leaves picked and roughly chopped 400g mixed green leaves , such as kale, chard and spinach, roughly 3 leeks , cleaned and rough green ends discarded, chopped 100ml dry white wine 1 finely sliced and 2 cut into medium slices 100g walnuts 40g plain flour 280g jar preserved artichoke hearts in oil, drained 500ml milk 100g ricotta 6 dried lasagne sheets

Method

STEP 1 - Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp oil with the butter over a medium heat. Add the bay leaf, rosemary and finely sliced leek, season and cook for a few mins until the leek has softened.

STEP 2 Add the flour and cook for 1 min more until the roux smells nutty. Take off the heat, slowly pour in the milk and whisk out any lumps.

STEP 3 Return to the heat and whisk slowly until thick and smooth, about 5 mins. Season well with grated nutmeg, then add 3/4 of the cheddar and parmesan, cooking until they are melted. Set aside.

STEP 4 In another pan, heat 2 tbsp oil over a medium heat and fry the garlic and chilli for a couple of mins until aromatic. Add the rest of the leeks, season and fry until softened, then add the mixed greens and season a little more. Cook, stirring, until the greens have wilted, about 4 mins, then pour in the wine and cook until it evaporates.

STEP 5 Oil a medium roasting tin (about 20cm square) and tip half the greens into the tin. Dot half the walnuts over the top, and nestle in a third of the artichoke hearts. Dot over half the ricotta. Remove the bay leaf from the leek bechamel and pour over a third of it. Top with three lasagne sheets to cover everything in a at layer. Repeat the process, then cover the top layer of lasagne sheets with the remaining bechamel and artichokes and scatter over the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven for 30-40 mins, until golden and bubbling. Rest for 10 mins, then serve with a sharply dressed grated carrot and beetroot salad.
