Was wir euch fürs neue Jahr wünschen:

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Träumen,
das ist der Weg zu den Sternen.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Nachdenken,
das ist die Quelle der Klarheit.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Lachen,
das ist die Musik der Seele.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum Leben,
das ist der Reichtum des Lebens.

Nehmt euch Zeit zum freundlich sein,
das ist das Tor zum Glück.

Eure Nasti und Rudi Bakerly

What we wish you for the New Year:

Take time to dream,
this is the way to the stars.

Take time to think,
that is the source of clarity.

Take time to laugh,
this is the music of the soul.

Take time to live,
this is the richness of life.

Take time to be kind,
this is the gateway to happiness.

Yours Nasti and Rudi Bakerly

After hearing of the sad news that Gertie Bumbtious left us on June 5th, we, Niki Stark (ex-wife of Gertie) and I decided to make a tribute edition of Stark! with some nice photos of Gertie. We will miss Gertie very much with her happy, positive manner and her legendary music sets!

You can get copies of the magazine and the vendors at the Stark landing point as always.

Rest in peace, Gertie!

There are people in every community who give everything and ask for nothing in return. In the OpenSimulator metaverse, Fred Beckhusen — known to thousands by his avatar name Ferd Frederix — is that person. An engineer, programmer, 3D artist, world-builder, and open source advocate, Fred has spent nearly two decades quietly making OpenSim easier, richer, and more welcoming for everyone who enters it. His tools run on grids around the world. His scripts are embedded in regions he will never visit. His generosity has shaped the virtual lives of people he has never met.

After all the darkness I need light,warmth,romantic, hot cocoa, cookies, egg nogg and a lot more again..I agree with Mariah Carey.

Please use the teleporter at the landing point or mark the places itself after tp. New items on every sim

Just added a 1930 Lincoln Model L at the Venues. As with the other cars, it's PBR, full perm, unscripted, and free to take. I'll add more as I go along.

You can find this area at the Emporium by entering the lobby and clicking the Art Deco or Entertainment Venue signs on the left. Or you can take the bridge immediately behind you.

Today's Irresistible New Arrivals from Sciattisi

Hello, creative! Get ready to fall in love with our latest "Art Cutter" collection... yes, the name is curious, but trust us, the contents are absolutely useful (and elegant too!).

A sturdy desk, perfect for hosting all your brilliant ideas (or incomprehensible cryptography, but those work well too).

3 sets of brushes: soft, colorful, and ready to transform every smudge into "abstract art" (you'll even say it's intentional).

Tempera paints to match every color fantasy—from shocking pink to deep ocean blue, not to mention the shades in between that only your imagination can invent.

2 wall-mounted tempera paint collectors.

A comfortable, friendly-designed chair: sophisticated enough to make you look like a pro, yet cozy enough to make you feel right at home.

All this, with the materials included (no, we didn't hide anything in the corner—I swear!), awaits you at Sciattisi.

Pssst… come and discover how a simple space can become a creative game. And yes, we say it with a smile—because here, even the most lopsided color has a reason to exist.
