HEY EVERYONE!!! This coming Saturday, TOMORROW, November 1st we will be celebrating Álfablót the Nordic celebration that honors the spirits of a family’s ancestors, loved ones who have gone before s in this life, and the family’s ongoing vitality. It's sort of a cross between Halloween and Thanksgiving, and it's celebrated in the homes by the families. This year we're celebrating Álfablót over in Birch Springs which is nestled in the beautiful and peaceful land of Bjrkeya which is governed by the Jarl Thorvaldr Ragnarsson, and his Partner Aelgifu Sveynsdottir.
The festivities begin at 2pm GRID time (That's Pacific time), and Thorvaldr & Aelgifu (Elle to us) will be hosting this event.
Music of the era will be provided by DJ Lavia.
Dress: We're partying like it's 999 or maybe 1025, so Medieval, Elf, Viking garb if you have it - if not, hey come as a Dinkie or even just a regular Avatar outfit like jeans and T. However you dress, come and join us!!!
The map to Bjrkeya is below:

2:pm GRID TIME (pacific)
THEME: Medieval.
EVERYONE is welcome and we hope to see you there!!

Porcupine Tree: Die Band die es nicht geben sollte

Der Mythos vom Stachelschwein

Beginnen wir mit einer unumstößlichen Wahrheit: Porcupine Tree war zu Beginn ein Witz. Ein kompletter, frei erfundener Scherz. In den späten 1980er Jahren saß ein junger Mann namens Steven Wilson in seinem Zimmer in Hemel Hempstead, England, und tat, was viele junge Männer mit zu viel Zeit und einem Vierspurrekorder tun: Er machte Musik. Sehr viel Musik. ...

X-petite: Vier Outfits, ein modischer Warnhinweis.

Weiß? Als wär’s ein Unschuldslamm mit Absatz. Streifen? Weil du dich nicht entscheiden musst, ob du süß oder gefährlich bist. Schwarz? Für alle, die beim Flirten lieber die Kontrolle behalten. Und Blau? Das Kleid, das aussieht wie „Ich hab keine Zeit für Smalltalk, ich bin hier, um zu glänzen.“

Diese Looks sind nicht für Leute, die sich fragen, ob das zu gewagt ist. Sie sind für Leute, die sich fragen, ob der Raum groß genug ist für ihr Ego und ihr Outfit. X-petite – trag’s, bevor es jemand anderer tut!

Papa Roach: Die ewigen Kämpfer

Man schreibt das Jahr 1993, und in der beschaulichen kalifornischen Stadt Vacaville, bekannt für ihre Zwiebelzucht, braut sich etwas musikalisch Hitziges zusammen.
Auf einem Highschool-Footballfeld treffen der zukünftige Frontmann Jacoby Shaddix und Schlagzeuger Dave Buckner aufeinander...

X-petite: Vier Outfits, null Kompromisse.

Wenn du denkst, du hast schon alles gesehen – zieh das hier an und warte, bis die Blicke rückwärts laufen. Von „Ich bin nur zum Tanzen hier“ bis „Ich regiere diesen Raum mit einem Augenbrauen-Zucken“: Diese vier Looks sind wie kleine rebellische Statements mit Absatz. Spitze, Glanz, Schnürung und ein Hauch „Was willst du eigentlich?“ – X-petite spielt nicht Dress-up, X-petite spielt Endgegner.

I have a question for those that are on the current version of DG and use joomla.

Since jopensim is not compatible with php 8 and stops us from upgrading, what are you doing as a work around?

Fred is keeping php7 a bit longer, I really dont want to give up my website as it looks nice and others and I have worked so hard on it.

I have never worked with WordPresd or WP4OS.

I know someone who is rewriting new project similar to jopensim but not tested for production. For the moment is only build, not implemented on OpenSimulator yet. I also know they may be working to updated jopensim, but all these things takes time and testing.

My tech guy knows a lot and says he could redo web site to work with jopensim, but i would love to save him the time as well as keeping how it currently looks.

You're all invited to the big Halloween party with our legendary DJ Tombeur...and always remember...Trick or Treat?? Siete tutti invitati alla grande festa di Halloween con il nostro mitico Dj Tombeur....e ricordatevi sempre...Dolcetto o Scherzetto??
