Moonlight gathers on the dancefloor tonight as DJ Yana brings a full spectrum of live‑energy performances.
A night for dreamers, wanderers, lovers of sound, carried by the pulse of legends.

R.E.M drifting through the stars.
The Killers lighting the sky with fire.
Supertramp weaving nostalgia into the night air.
The Police striking the rhythm of memory.
Toto sending the rain, the thunder, the heartbeat of the 80s.
And many more voices rising under the moon.

A Moonlight Show for those who feel music in their bones,
for those who dance with their whole spirit,
for those who let the night carry them.
DJ Yana invites you to step into the glow,
to move, to breathe, to feel alive.
Let the moon be your spotlight

We can already confirm that we will be ready for the role-playing game's launch on April 1st. Last week was very productive: we created the human HUD with sword attacks. All the container tanks and barrels for each race are ready. The curse protection necklaces are also created and functional, and much more... Our goal for the next two weeks is to create the various potions and make progress on the website guide.

Meine glitzernden Lieblingsmenschen,
es ist wieder so weit: Wir werfen Federn in die Luft,
Glitzer in die Haare und sämtliche Hemmungen in die Ecke.
Wir laden euch herzlich zu einer Burlesque Party ein –
mit einem kleinen Showact, der so charmant ist,
dass selbst eure Lachmuskeln erröten könnten.
Kommt, wie ihr wollt:
übertrieben glamourös, herrlich schräg
oder einfach bereit, euch köstlich zu amüsieren.
Hauptsache, ihr bringt gute Laune und eure besten

As you walk along the winding paths of Fantasia, the air itself seems to shimmer with quiet enchantment. Birds sing melodies you’ve never heard before, and the ground beneath your feet glows faintly, as if it remembers every traveler who has passed this way. Soon, you cross a large stone bridge arching gracefully over a sparkling stream. The water below laughs and bubbles as it rushes past, reflecting flashes of color like scattered jewels.

On the other side of the bridge, you arrive at Mushroom Village. Towering mushrooms of every shape and size rise from the earth, their caps painted in brilliant reds, blues, golds, and purples. Some glow softly, while others seem to sway gently, as if greeting you. The colors are so bright and vivid that they almost feel unreal, like a dream brought to life.

Happy little gnomes bustle about everywhere, their laughter filling the air. They tend lovingly to their gardens, watering glowing flowers, trimming vines that sparkle with dew, and whispering softly to the plants as they work. A few pause to wave at you, their eyes twinkling with curiosity and kindness.

As you take it all in, a warm sense of wonder settles over you. In that moment, you finally realize that Mushroom Village is just like the rest of Fantasia—overflowing with magic, joy, and mystery, a place where imagination lives and miracles feel completely natural.

February 17 marks Chinese and Lunar New Year. This year is the year of the Fire Horse; sometimes called the Fiery Horse.

"Each Chinese Zodiac year has a corresponding element within the cycle. On February 17, 2026, we will enter the Year of the Fire Horse, which concludes on February 20, 2027—‘fire’ being the element, and ‘horse’ the Zodiac sign.

As for what it means, think energy and dynamism. “Fire brings intensity, urgency, and passion, which can feel motivating but also demanding,” says Ada Ooi, an integrative Chinese medicine clinician and the founder of 001 London. “This combination often creates a faster pace of life and a stronger drive to achieve, making it especially important to stay attuned to the body’s limits and energy reserves.”

The first Fire Horse for 60 years (the length of the Zodiac cycle), it may feel like a restless, dynamic time—with the possibility for conflict. The current Zodiac year (which runs January 29, 2025 to February 16, 2026) is the Year of the Wood Snake, which represents the shedding of old stories and habits, recalibrating what works for you and honoring internal intelligence. With the arrival of the Year of the Fire Horse, that clarity demands an external home with decisive, consistent action."

https://www.vogue.com/article/year-of-the-fire-horse-2026

At Birch Grove in the Lucky Dragon Chinese Restaurant, we have this year's free calendar wall decor and horse gift as well as the full scene in the restaurant from years past which includes many other free props. Everything is buy for 0/free to copy.

Enjoy!

✨ Neue Outfits, neue Abenteuer! ✨
Unsere kleinen Wirbelwinde haben wieder frischen Style im Kleiderschrank – und plötzlich fühlt sich jeder Tag an wie eine Mini‑Premiere. Da wird gedreht, gepost, gelacht und natürlich ganz wichtig: ausprobiert, ob man damit schneller rennen, höher hüpfen oder noch lauter kichern kann.

Zwischen Sternchen, Teddy‑Vibes und Zuckerwatte‑Energie entstehen Looks, die so viel gute Laune versprühen, dass selbst die Erwachsenen kurz überlegen, ob sie nicht auch ein bisschen Glitzer im Alltag gebrauchen könnten.

Kurz gesagt: Die Kids sind bereit für alles, was Spaß macht – und ihre Outfits sowieso. Bühne frei für die nächste Runde Chaos, Kreativität und Kindermagie.

HOW I MAKE VISUAL SHOWS TUTORIAL

I was asked many times about how I create the visual shows such as the ones I made for HIE, just yesterday, the talented artist Tina Bey asked me to explain my process to her. So I decided to create a tutorial in spanish for her, but I quickly realized that this work should benefit more people; with this in mind, I created the English and French versions.
I really hope the tutorial is clear enough to be understood. Anyway I can help you if you are more questions.

The tutorial is available in SOUP section in Cherry Freebies region

OpenCollar 8.4 now available in OS
Fiona's Princess Collar
This collar is full perm and complies with OpenCollar license terms.

Cut and polished Larimar from Baharona, one of Earth's scarcest treasures. These gems, 10,000 times rarer than diamonds, are created when volcanic lava hits the turqouise waters of the Caribbean sea. They are only found in Dominican Republic, the birthplace of the Americas.

This is a beta version. It seems to work but there may be issues I have not yet idenfitied. The apps and rlv restrictions / relay in particular. Welding is possible but has not been tested.
I have purposely included only a few apps, to reduce complexity, until I verify the code is stable.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this collar ships 'unowned'. If you "lock" the collar while it is unowned you will not be able to remove it without cheating.
The best 'first step' is to add an owner (even yourself if you want) before tinkering with the menu selections.

If you need help come see me. If you want to receive important news and updates send me an im and I will add you to my notify list.

I have modified the original OpenCollar sources for OpenSim (tested on OpenSimulator 0.9.3.1, it should work on other versions but not tested).

I updated: oc_core and oc_settings. The big issue has to do with how OpenSim handles LSL dataserver. with 'stock' OpenCollar it tends to barf on reading .settings notecard and theh state is never advanced in oc_core, leaving the collar inactive. I modified the code to resolve this issue. also minor issues like double-starts and notecard parsing timeouts.

Default listen channel is 84 (not 1 as this can conflict with translators in OpenSim).
I made the default safeword "FionaSweet"

This is GPL software, you can do what you wish with it in accordance with the terms of the license. (see fsf.org for details)

Die ungezähmte Seele des Blues-Rock: Steamhammer

In den späten 1960er Jahren, als die britische Musikszene von einer wilden Mischung aus Blues, Psychedelic und aufkeimendem Progressive Rock durchgeschüttelt wurde, entstand in dem kleinen Küstenort Worthing eine Band, die sich weigerte, in Schubladen zu passen. Steamhammer formierte sich 1968 und verkörperte von Anfang an diesen rohen, erdigen Geist, der die Pubs und Clubs Englands eroberte.
