MEMORIAL DES FRANCOPHONES DE L'OPENSIM
Une cérémonie civile à la mémoire des amis francophones disparus d'opensim aura lieu le samedi 11 janvier 2025, 21h30 (Fr), 15h30 (Qc).
A cette occasion, nous partagerons, durant quelques instants, le souvenir de ceux qui ont eu une vie virtuelle et qui ne sont plus parmi nous aujourd'hui. hop://francopholie.fr:8000/Francopholie/784/763/38

Work continues at the Japanese display area under reconstruction at Lunaria Emporium. Added a large torii gate in a central lake. All items are separate and some are free and full perm. Perimeter walls and main gate are next, then I'll start on a larger, more opulent house, revised tea houses, a temple, some additional decor, and a Japanese castle. Click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get there.

The Japanese Home and Garden is now available at Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid! Just click the Japanese teleport board in the lobby to get to the display area. That area is under reconstruction but the home and the bridges are available now.

This is a full pbr build but still has standard textures for those using non-pbr viewers. The home itself has 5 rooms, each with separate sliding shoji doors and light controls. In the back is a full garden in the Japanese style with all new mesh flora and landscaping, it's own lighting control, as well as pbr prim water that is animated. The full build is 1154 prims and fits comfortably on 53m x 45m space. Permissions are modify and copy and comes with full instructions.

As a bonus, I included extras of all the plants and trees used in the build.

'...And ye shall be free from slavery. And as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall be naked in your rites. And ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love all in my praise.
For mine is the ecstasy of the spirit, and mine also is joy upon Earth, for my law is love unto all beings...'

OUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of one of our long time grid members Trizzy Hunter. All of us at Virtual Beach are devastated and sadden by this news, please bare with us while we grieve.

If you knew Trizzy or visited one of her many regions, you knew how much work she put into them. She took time to create stores and such for all to love. Trizzy was a great friend to all who knew her as well as helping someone in world when they needed it. She helped me a lot when i messed up my terrain or needed something in world. She will be truly missed.

Trizzy's memory will live on forever at Virtual Beach, please continue to honor her legacy by visiting one of her many regions listed below that is open all year long.

RRD Fashion Exclusives
Christmas Dreams
Dagger's Edge
Rayvn's Roost Concourse
Spooktacular Wood

After the New Year a memorial will be held in world starting at the cemetery and ending at daggers edge for a dance party to remember and honor her legacy. Date and details to be announced soon.

I actually considered canceling my account completely this week, so I just took some time to reflect. I put a lot of effort into everything we do, and if you believe it's only for myself, you're completely mistaken. We also work on Second Life and the open sim world. I detest being accused of being someone I'm not and called a liar. I have always taken people at face value. If you don't know me, don't criticize me. And I will support those I call who I consider friends or more, just like I did for Adora.
Everybody has their own problems and is constantly coping with something, so when someone has to play a game and is treated disrespectfully, I say enough.
It's unfortunate, in my opinion, that someone as young as five days old can create an account on this site and start so much drama. How come she can? Because she's got the money to do it. Unfortunately, money always plays a part in a lot of what we do.
Lise Please don't talk about anything you don't want to talk about. Which is it, Lester or Lise? Have a wonderful day, stop lying to people about who you are, and get out of Dallas.

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!

wHAT YOU LEFT ME LISE.......THEN YOU BLOCKED ME LOL Good best thing u did!!

Lise 9h
Just for the record, as regard to the insinuating comment on my profile, it's from Dallas Mall (Adore), who operates several accounts on OSW. She was not happy with my comment about the toxic nature of Gentle Fire Grid.

JUST HAD ENOUGH OF BS!!!

Möge diese wunderbare Zeit des Jahres von Liebe und Besinnlichkeit erfüllt sein.
Lasst uns den Frieden im Kreise der Liebsten genießen und die kleinen, kostbaren Momente mit Dankbarkeit feiern.
Gemeinsam schaffen wir Erinnerungen, die uns ein Leben lang begleiten.

In diesem Sinne wünsche ich euch und euren Lieben ein herzliches Weihnachtsfest und ein neues Jahr voller Glück und Harmonie.
******************************************************
May this wonderful time of year be filled with love and contemplation.
Let us enjoy peace with our loved ones and celebrate the small, precious moments with gratitude.
Together we create memories that last a lifetime.

With this in mind, I wish you and your loved ones a merry Christmas and a New Year full of happiness and harmony.

The ancient manuscript, worn and frail, had survived not just the ravages of time but the trauma of two world wars and the Great Depression. The pages, yellowed and fragile, were etched with symbols and words in a script that seemed to waver like shadows in the dim light. The ink, though faded, still held traces of something vital—a secret long buried in the folds of history.

It had belonged to your grandfather. You'd often heard stories of him as a man of few words, a man who carried with him a sense of mystery, a presence that couldn’t quite be pinned down. He was said to have been involved in things—things that no one ever spoke about in detail. People had whispered of his involvement in covert operations, of missions that seemed too important to speak of, even after his death.

But now, as you unfolded the manuscript, a sense of recognition tugged at your heart. The writing on the pages seemed to call to you, as though the words were waiting for you to decipher them. The first few lines were barely legible, but as your fingers traced the parchment, something stirred within you—a deep, unshakable feeling that this manuscript contained the answers to the questions you’d long held about your family's past.

Celebrating One Year with the VWEC in OpenSim!

Join us on November 14th at 10:00 AM (Grid Time) for the VWEC Hypergrid Tour as we celebrate VWEC’s first anniversary—Coney Island style!

Step into New York’s iconic playground with Kimm Starr's Virtual Vignette Tour of Coney Island Amusement Park. For decades, Coney Island was the go-to escape for New Yorkers, and now, you can explore it in OpenSim! While still a work in progress, Kimm will share valuable insights, tips, free and paid for resources for creating immersive, historical builds that can enrich virtual education.

This tour is more than a history lesson—it’s about making history come alive! Using Google Earth for precise mapping, Kimm has recreated iconic Coney Island landmarks at scale to offer a true 3D journey into the past.
You’ll also get an exclusive preview of the new and exciting animesh programming kit, The Animaster, a true game changer in education and then some. The brain child of Cooper Swizzle, Carla Kincaid-Yoshikawa and Christine Nyn of Nynja Custom Scripts.

After the tour, stick around as Rosa Alekseev spins your favorite hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

When: November 14th at 10:00 AM (Grid Time)

Lost Castles... There are many "popular" castles being circulated in world. But years ago I saw several gigantic castles that were incredibly well done and beautiful that appear to be lost to time. They were not seen anywhere else. One was a white elven castle that was super huge and extremely beautiful. Another was a grey stone castle with exquisite interior and very well designed rooms. The third lost castle was a dark castle with many rooms. It's sad these castles were lost to time as the creators eventually logged off taking their beautiful creations with them where they are no longer seen in todays entirety in-world. Very very sad. The creators were expert builders and their designs were the stuff of legend. Now they may sit on an old hard drive in someones attic somewhere, or perhaps they deleted them in a michael-angelo type fit of rage. No one knows. If you know of any of these castles can you please post their location onto this post, and I will tell you if that is one of them or not.

For all of you interested in animesh: I made a new animated free roaming dragon thats now available for testing peer review. Pick up a copy in my shoppie, read the notecard and knock yourself out!
Lemme know if the notecard was clear enough...its a bit tricky with this roaming script....
Have fun!

Noah's Ark at The Zoo is a mostly unknown newish Region that only features 'living' animesh creatures in its lands.

The Panda family moves and feeds here in the bamboo forest. You may approach but carefully! They are very shy :)

The Zoo also features an enormous aquarium and working dining choices, many spots to rest and relax in nature before returning to exploration of the creatures here.

Savannah, the Outback, the Bamboo forest, the Woods, the Rain forest ...

This is so cool. I have not been on in a few weeks, but finally I have carved out my schedule to be in OS more often. Yay.
In my absence it seems 94 different people came to Grid Tumbler to visit. That is awesome. Where are you all when I am online?
Come play with meeeeeeeeee.

I appreciate the support of the OpenSim community in upvoting reviews of my region, even though some may be unfairly critical from those who have never actually visited.
My decision to ban an avatar I deemed underage (Child or Teen) was made in good faith, though it has prompted malicious and vindictive responses. If you've had a positive experience on my grid, I encourage you to share that by voting for accurate, unbiased reviews.
