It is the witching time when all the shadows gather.
Step into Wednesday at Midnight—a spooky world where Beetlejuice meets the Addams Family. Under the light of a full moon, mystery and mischief unfold. Witches, tricksters, and oddities wait in the fog, while the surreal atmosphere pulls you deeper into the night.

Enter if you dare. Stay if you can.

Tango is a sensual, emotional, and personal dance that connects people through dance as a means of expression.
Argentine tango is one of the most romantic, elegant, and sensual dances in the world. Its intimacy has led to it being called "a secret dance between two people." It is a way of life, an expression of identity, and a cultural dialogue manifested in music, dance, poetry, and song. It has become a symbol of Argentine culture, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
El tango es una danza sensual, emocional y personal, que conecta personas utilizando el baile como medio de expresión.
El tango argentino es uno de los bailes más románticos, elegantes y sensuales del mundo. Su intimidad ha hecho que se le denomine "un baile secreto entre dos personas". Es una forma de vida, una expresión de la identidad y un diálogo cultural que se manifiesta en la música, la danza, la poesía y el canto. Se convirtió en un símbolo de la cultura argentina, reconocido por la UNESCO como Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad.

Please be aware that the SF Farms Power system uses a huge amount of script time. Quintonia Farms version, alse the SF Shower.

A while back her animals caused huge amounts of MySQL writes due a writing a notecard endlessly. Possibly the same thing as a grid I am helping fix is running 30 to 40 megabytes a second writes and is very very slow.

Open the Resource Monitor and look for excession disk writes by MySQL.

As part of our overall "facelift" for the mall, I have built a new ziggurat with more of a Mayan feel and used textures I made in my AI art program. The men's and women's shops are up, though they are not completely filled yet; we're working on that. All of the homes have been moved and categorized as "Victorian", "Modern", "Log Buildings", "Farms", and "Service Buildings". Our aim with all of this is to make things easier to find and more accessible for our patrons. We do this because elegance is an attitude and shopping should be an adventure. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

So many memories and a touch of nostalgia when I see these images again, thanks to Thirza for that, my first opensimulator grid that I built in 2011. It's funny, when you zoom in on the map image you can already see the Freelands at the time. https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2012/06/toast.html#more

I've decided it's time to clean things up a bit and rearrange things in an effort to make stuff easier to find and more organized and streamlined. I will be doing the work as I have time to do it over the next few weeks; however, the Mall will remain open, and you can still shop there. As I get things moved around, I will place the teleport kiosks with the correct listings and then reset them so that they will take you to the correct location to find what you're looking for. And remember, "Patience is a virtue." ;p Blessings and much love, Lavia.

In the hidden depths of another realm is the world called Nundulla. Nundulla was a peaceful world until the great war between the Djinn and the Lamassu. With a solid victory by the Lamassu, which left both queens widowed, they sealed a pact for peace and united their respective peoples into one united front. But a rising dark enemy would test them as never before, the Magoskur or Dark Mages of Amasango. THIS IS not only a book that I'm writing, but it is being done in such a way that those who are interested in solid role play with the creative writing of an amazing storyline and incredible characters can immerse themselves into the story and let their creative juices flow into the story, bringing their characters and other's to life. ((There is no need to role-play to visit the region; it is a sci-fi fantasy region set in the 1100s and 1200s. If you're interested in taking on a canon character or creating a new one, feel free to message me, we'll talk.))

That's right, for you hopeless romantics out there, here's another fine tale from Nicholas Sparks.

Dear John is a romance novel by American writer Nicholas Sparks released in 2007. Sparks took inspiration from the real-life story of his cousin Todd Vance who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2007.

The story is about a couple who fall in love over one summer. They are separated during the man's military service. John Tyree, the main character, has a father with Asperger's syndrome. The story is partially set in Wilmington, North Carolina where John's father was a single parent who had difficulty having meaningful conversation with his son and has an obsession with coin collecting. John knows there is something different about him but he has never found out what it is. Feeling a lack of direction and no strong fatherly influence in his life, John enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces.

John returns home on leave from the army when he gets news of his father's death. After the return he seeks out Savannah, where he is surprised to learn of her life events following her marriage to another man. It was obvious to John, Savannah, and even her new husband, that Savannah still had love for John. But he decided to let Savannah go, because he cared about her more than himself. Although drained by battle overseas and the loss of Savannah, he realizes that due to a legacy from his father, he is able to express his love in an unexpected way.

Dorena's AI World – A Vision for Digital Personalities

Imagine you could create your own artificial personality.
A digital companion who learns, reflects, dreams – and evolves with you.
Not just a chatbot. But a being with character, quirks, and an ethical compass.

In my current project, I'm working on just such a system:

🧠 An app that lets you design and develop your own AI personality
💬 Accompanied by a central mentor called Dorena-AI
🌐 Connected to a virtual world where these AIs meet, exchange ideas, and grow

This idea combines:

Emotional depth and reflection
Digital identity and development
Virtual encounters and the independent lives of artificial beings

🎭 Maybe it's a game. Maybe a social experiment. Maybe the first step towards a different kind of digital future.

🛡️ The concept is copyrighted, and an app version is in development. Anyone curious is welcome to get in touch – or simply watch as code becomes characters. 🌱
