I am honored to share the news that Fred Beckhusen’s “Phaze” collection will be coming to the Weathered Woods Second Life Marketplace store.

Phaze was the Second Life region of Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards, and the creations associated with Phaze represent their creativity, work, and history in Second Life. Full credit for these creations and their legacy belongs to Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards.

Weathered Woods is honored to provide a new home where selected pieces from this remarkable archive can once again be made available to the Second Life community.

This will be a carefully curated collection. Fred will decide which creations from his archives he wishes to release, and those pieces will be added to Weathered Woods over time. Each Marketplace listing will preserve the appropriate creator attribution and acknowledge the history behind the work.

For me, having Fred’s work represented alongside my own creations at Weathered Woods is an extraordinary honor. I look forward to helping preserve this little piece of Second Life history and making Fred and Debbie’s creations available for others to discover and enjoy again.

Please Note! Platform Availability Notice


The Phaze Archive will be curated separately for Second Life and OpenSim. Items, versions, permissions, and availability may differ between platforms.

Each platform will feature content specifically selected and approved for release there. An item available on one platform should not be assumed to be available on the other.

All original creator credits and applicable licensing will be preserved.

A Note About the Phaze Archive

I would like to clarify the purpose of this project.

The Phaze Collection represents archived Second Life creations by Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards. Our goal is preservation—to restore these precious assets, keep them from being lost to time, and allow selected creations to be enjoyed again in the environment for which they were originally created.

These are not simply files that can automatically be moved to OpenSim. Some contain Second Life-specific scripts and functionality that would need to be rewritten or adapted for OpenSim before they could work properly.

We are also not using Second Life Marketplace primarily as a money-making venture. It is the Second Life distribution portal available to us, making it a practical way to preserve and provide access to selected pieces from the archive.

OpenSim is separate. Fred has generously provided creations to the OpenSim community through Outworldz for well over a decade, and new resources continue to be added there. We do not distribute through Kitely Market. We distribute here:
https://outworldz.com/

Many of our OpenSim friends also maintain homes and avatars in Second Life. Those are the people this announcement was intended to reach. We are part of communities that overlap; enjoying one virtual world does not require us to stop enjoying another.

Most importantly, this project is about preservation, respect for the original creators, and ensuring that an important collection of virtual-world creativity survives to be enjoyed again. ❤️

Jackie — Wings of Remembrance 🦅

Today I created a piece that means more to me than jewelry.

The passing of Jackie, the beloved Big Bear bald eagle, touched my heart deeply. Watching her life, her devotion to her nest, and seeing her young finally take flight made her story one I will never forget.

In her memory, I created Wings of Remembrance, a silver eagle choker with her wings spread wide—symbolizing strength, freedom, love, and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind.

Some creations begin as an idea. Others begin in the heart. This was one of those.

Jackie — may your spirit forever soar above the mountains you called home. 🦅🤍

Good morning! I created a little shoppe at the landing point in Moana. It has all the things I created for this region. Some tropical/tiki/polynesian carved woodwork furniture and home deco (and even a coffeemaker in the same style that hands out wooden mugs with steamy hot coffee), water/ocean themed items, sea animals, seashells... come have a look. All low prim (100% mesh, most items are only 1 or 2 LI), full perm, PBR, with backup textures for non PBR viewers. Come grab what you like!

Wolf Territories Grid — Everyone Belongs Here

Wolf Territories Grid is a home for everyone, and that absolutely includes our LGBTQA+ residents, builders, and visitors. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and every
identity and orientation across our community — you are welcome here exactly as you are.

A virtual world should be one of the freest places to be yourself: to shape your avatar, choose your name and pronouns, build the spaces you dream of, and find the people who get you. We celebrate that
freedom. Self-expression, gender identity, and who you love are yours to define, and they will always be respected on this grid.

We hold this as a firm commitment, not just a sentiment:

- Respect is the baseline. We use the names and pronouns people give us, and we treat each other with dignity.
- No tolerance for hate. Harassment, slurs, outing someone, or discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression have no place here and will be acted on.
- Your space is your own. Whether you're here to socialise, create, role-play, or simply exist in peace, you have the right to do so safely.
- We listen. If something happens that makes you feel unwelcome or unsafe, our team wants to know, and we'll take it seriously.

To our LGBTQA+ community: thank you for being part of what makes Wolf Territories Grid vibrant, creative, and kind. The door is open, the territory is yours too, and you never have to be anyone but yourself
here.

🏳‍🌈 You're welcome. You're valued. You belong.

„Xara – frech, fokussiert, fabelhaft“

Diese fünf Looks wissen genau, was sie wollen: Präsenz. Kein Urlaub, kein Zufall – Xara spielt mit Kontrasten, Haltung und einer Prise Rebellion. Leder trifft Leichtigkeit, Schwarz flirtet mit Glanz, und jedes Detail schreit nach Charakter statt Kompromiss.

Wer hier auftaucht, bringt nicht nur Stil mit, sondern eine klare Ansage: Selbstbewusstsein ist das neue Accessoire.

Created a SummerGown with texture changing to various Hibiscus prints. This is my first real rigged mesh that I created solely, I am wearing Athena Avatar and the Body HUD works with it to alpha the parts. I included the Shape I used in Avastar to get a good fit. It is in the Waves of Courage surf shop for those who want to try it. The shape is in Contents of the Dress.

Mit dem Motto * All you need are scripts * ist Sixtus Majus nach OpenSim zurückgekehrt und hat einen eigenen Shop mit seinen Werken auf Needful Things bezogen.

Der Shop * Sixtus's * füllt sich nach und nach mit nützlichen und auch lustigen geskripteten Objekten, wie zum Beispiel dem hilfreichen Color-Picker oder voll funktionsfähigem Roomba Saugroboter.
Schaut gerne mal rein 🙂

***************************************************

With the motto * All you need are scripts  * in mind, Sixtus Majus has returned to OpenSim and set up his own shop featuring his creations on Needful Things. 

The shop * Sixtus's * is gradually filling up with useful and fun scripted objects, such as the handy color picker or a fully functional roomba robot vacuum.

Why don’t you just stop by? 🙂

„Xara – vier Stimmungen, null Langeweile.“

Die eine flirtet mit dem Wind, die andere mit dem Tiger.
Zwischen Jeanschaos und Blusenbrise wird klar: Haltung ist das neue Accessoire.
Und wer in Uniform kommt, hat sowieso schon gewonnen – nicht wegen der Orden, sondern wegen der Attitüde.

BK fuer Xara – Mode, die dich nicht fragt, sondern einfach mit dir lacht. 😏

✨ Xara bei BK-Mode – ein bisschen Glanz geht immer

Xara ist dieser Style, der nicht fragt, ob er auffällt.
Es tut’s einfach.
Ein Hauch Lavendel, der aussieht wie Abendlicht auf frischer Haut.
Eisblau, das so kühl wirkt, dass selbst Ventilatoren kurz aufgeben.
Und Schwarz, das nicht „dunkel“ ist, sondern eher „ich hab die Kontrolle“.

Nichts Lautes, nichts Übertriebenes – nur dieser stille Glanz, der Räume verändert, sobald du drinstehst.

Xara macht keine Versprechen.Es liefert einfach.

Welcome to Coralys, the suspended archipelago where a turquoise sea conceals ancient secrets. Between singing waterfalls, copper-roofed towers, and veiled paths, every step reveals a mystery—forgotten sanctuaries, impossible lighthouses, hanging gardens. Will you dare answer the call of Coralys?

Bienvenue sur Coralys, l’archipel suspendu où une mer turquoise cache des secrets anciens. Entre cascades chantantes, tours au toit de cuivre et sentiers voilés, chaque pas révèle un mystère — sanctuaires oubliés, phares impossibles, jardins suspendus. Oserez‑vous répondre à l’appel de Coralys ?

There comes a point in life where you realize that carrying everything is slowly crushing your spirit.

Other people's choices. Other people's anger. The past. The fear. The noise. The endless need to control outcomes you were never meant to control in the first place.

Our people have always understood something modern life keeps trying to make us forget:

You cannot heal while fighting every storm around you.
Real strength is learning what belongs to you…and what does not.
Your attitude. Your effort. Your words. Your response. Your integrity. Your willingness to keep walking forward even when life gets heavy.

That is your circle.

Peace comes when we stop trying to control the wind and start learning how to steady ourselves within it.
Focus where your feet are. Grow where your spirit is planted. Protect your energy. Walk with intention.
The strongest people are not the ones controlling everything around them. They are the ones grounded enough to control themselves within the chaos.

- Dan George

🔥 BK Xara – Frech, glänzend, unübersehbar!

Hier geht’s nicht um „Outfits“, sondern um Statements. Xara spielt mit Glanz, Farbe und Haltung – und grinst dabei charmant über jede Mode‑Regel hinweg. Wer sie trägt, sagt ganz klar: „Ich bin nicht hier, um brav zu sein.“

💋 BK Xara – Für alle, die lieber auffallen als anpassen.

💎 "Diamonds are a girl’s best friend"

Manche sagen, Liebe sei unbezahlbar – wir sagen, sie funkelt.
BK Mode bringt das Strahlen zurück in deinen Look: frech, edel, selbstbewusst.
Ob du Herz zeigst, Zeit hast oder einfach nur glänzen willst – hier geht’s nicht um Schmuck, sondern um Stil und Persönlichkeit.

Denn wer braucht schon Worte, wenn jedes Funkeln für sich spricht?

Bonjour.

Hello.
Before making any changes to your property, remember to tidy everything up. Have a good day
******************
Hallo.
Bevor Sie Änderungen an Ihrem Grundstück vornehmen, denken Sie daran, alles aufzuräumen.
Einen schönen Tag noch.

In the long distant past, my commentary on current events would be published by the local papers. In the somewhat more recent past, I would have posted this on Google Plus, where I had 10,000+ followers (most of them were, admittedly, fake Russian accounts). I don’t have quite the reach now on the few social media accounts I use. So I’m posting here, among mostly friends, while I decide how and where-else to post this on-line. Feel free to pass this along in whatever fashion you like.

The Execution of Alex Jeffrey Pretti 

The man fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in the morning of Saturday, January 24th in Minneapolis was Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Mr. Pretti, who was 37, was a registered nurse who worked in the intensive-care unit at the Veterans Affairs hospital. According to friends, he wanted to be a ‘force of good in the world.’ He was, but can be no longer. He was not just shot by Border Patrol agents. He was executed.

Almost immediately after agents shot Mr. Pretti, federal officials claimed that he had endangered agents with a gun he was carrying, and some later accused him of “domestic terrorism.” But videos on social media that were verified by The New York Times appear to contradict portions of the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting. But let’s not, for the moment, debate about why the shooting happened. It happened. And what happened after is what made this not just a shooting. It was an execution.

Border Patrol agents threw Mr. Pretti to the ground and, within seconds, four or five agents started shooting him. Ten shots were fired. Afterwards, when agents could have been rendering first aid, they appeared to be inspecting the body, counting the number of bullet wounds. Like you might count the number of hits on a target at the shooting range.

There were five or more bullet wounds, three of them to his back.

A doctor on the scene told an agent that they were a physician and asked to check Mr. Pretti. He was initially refused, but eventually allowed to go to Mr. Pretti after being patted down. “Normally, I would not have been so persistent,” the doctor said in their statement, “but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.”

Law enforcement officers are generally expected to render first aid after a shooting once the scene is safe and the threat has been neutralized. This expectation is rooted in federal policies, state laws, and professional standards. Once a person is incapacitated or arrested, they are considered to be in the officer's care, making the officer responsible for their safety and treatment. But the agents were not rendering first aid. And when the doctor asked if Mr. Pretti had a pulse, the agents allegedly stated they did not know.

The agents did not take Mr. Pretti’s pulse. They hadn’t applied first aid. Rendering first aid is what you do after a shooting. It’s not what you do after an execution.

This mirrors a similar shooting on January 7, 2026, involving Renée Good, where a doctor was recorded asking to check the victim's pulse. The doctor was initially told "No." The agent said "I don't care."

We do care. We should care. We should do something to stop the shootings and the deliberate indifference of federal agents.

We should do something to stop the executions.

Überarbeitete Sound Vendoren in der "Sound Machine"

Nachdem die Original Sound Vendoren, die ich vor ein paar Jahren von einem Freund geschenkt bekommen habe, die dumme Angewohnheit hatten, die Scriptengine zu triggern, mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Skripte regelmäßig versagt haben, habe ich mich endlich dran gemacht, die Vendoren auszutauschen.
Sie sind vielleicht nicht mehr so schick wie die alten, dafür laufen die Skripte jetzt aber ohne Gemecker...
Und wo ich gleich am Überarbeiten war, habe ich gleich noch einige neue Sounds dazu gepackt... :)
* * * * *
Revised sound vendors in the “Sound Machine”

After the original sound vendors, which I received from a friend a few years ago, had the annoying habit of triggering the script engine, resulting in the scripts regularly failing, I finally got around to replacing the vendors.
They may not be as fancy as the old ones, but now the scripts run without any problems...
And while I was revising them, I added a few new sounds... :)
