February 17 marks Chinese and Lunar New Year. This year is the year of the Fire Horse; sometimes called the Fiery Horse.

"Each Chinese Zodiac year has a corresponding element within the cycle. On February 17, 2026, we will enter the Year of the Fire Horse, which concludes on February 20, 2027—‘fire’ being the element, and ‘horse’ the Zodiac sign.

As for what it means, think energy and dynamism. “Fire brings intensity, urgency, and passion, which can feel motivating but also demanding,” says Ada Ooi, an integrative Chinese medicine clinician and the founder of 001 London. “This combination often creates a faster pace of life and a stronger drive to achieve, making it especially important to stay attuned to the body’s limits and energy reserves.”

The first Fire Horse for 60 years (the length of the Zodiac cycle), it may feel like a restless, dynamic time—with the possibility for conflict. The current Zodiac year (which runs January 29, 2025 to February 16, 2026) is the Year of the Wood Snake, which represents the shedding of old stories and habits, recalibrating what works for you and honoring internal intelligence. With the arrival of the Year of the Fire Horse, that clarity demands an external home with decisive, consistent action."

At Birch Grove in the Lucky Dragon Chinese Restaurant, we have this year's free calendar wall decor and horse gift as well as the full scene in the restaurant from years past which includes many other free props. Everything is buy for 0/free to copy.

Enjoy!

OpenCollar 8.4 now available in OS
Fiona's Princess Collar
This collar is full perm and complies with OpenCollar license terms.

Cut and polished Larimar from Baharona, one of Earth's scarcest treasures. These gems, 10,000 times rarer than diamonds, are created when volcanic lava hits the turqouise waters of the Caribbean sea. They are only found in Dominican Republic, the birthplace of the Americas.

This is a beta version. It seems to work but there may be issues I have not yet idenfitied. The apps and rlv restrictions / relay in particular. Welding is possible but has not been tested.
I have purposely included only a few apps, to reduce complexity, until I verify the code is stable.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this collar ships 'unowned'. If you "lock" the collar while it is unowned you will not be able to remove it without cheating.
The best 'first step' is to add an owner (even yourself if you want) before tinkering with the menu selections.

If you need help come see me. If you want to receive important news and updates send me an im and I will add you to my notify list.

I have modified the original OpenCollar sources for OpenSim (tested on OpenSimulator 0.9.3.1, it should work on other versions but not tested).

I updated: oc_core and oc_settings. The big issue has to do with how OpenSim handles LSL dataserver. with 'stock' OpenCollar it tends to barf on reading .settings notecard and theh state is never advanced in oc_core, leaving the collar inactive. I modified the code to resolve this issue. also minor issues like double-starts and notecard parsing timeouts.

Default listen channel is 84 (not 1 as this can conflict with translators in OpenSim).
I made the default safeword "FionaSweet"

This is GPL software, you can do what you wish with it in accordance with the terms of the license. (see fsf.org for details)

Die ungezähmte Seele des Blues-Rock: Steamhammer

In den späten 1960er Jahren, als die britische Musikszene von einer wilden Mischung aus Blues, Psychedelic und aufkeimendem Progressive Rock durchgeschüttelt wurde, entstand in dem kleinen Küstenort Worthing eine Band, die sich weigerte, in Schubladen zu passen. Steamhammer formierte sich 1968 und verkörperte von Anfang an diesen rohen, erdigen Geist, der die Pubs und Clubs Englands eroberte.

Ein kosmisches Gitarrenphänomen: Die Reise des Steve Hillage

Die Geschichte von Steve Hillage ist weit mehr als nur eine einfache Musikerbiografie; sie ist eine fortwährende Expedition durch die Grenzen von Klang, Bewusstsein und technologischer Innovation. Als einer der prägendsten Köpfe der sogenannten Canterbury-Szene und späterer Pionier der elektronischen Tanzmusik hat Hillage ein Werk geschaffen, das Generationen von Suchenden und Klangenthusiasten verbindet.

Die Enigmatische Welt von Poppy

In einer Ära, in der die Grenzen zwischen Realität und digitaler Fiktion verschwimmen, tauchte eine Figur auf, die die Popkultur aufmischte wie keine andere. Poppy, eine Künstlerin, die mit ihrer androgynen Präsenz und ihrem experimentellen Sound Wellen schlug, begann als ein Mysterium im Internet und entwickelte sich zu einer Ikone der alternativen Musikszene.

🌙 MOONLIGHT SHOW – 2AM GRIDTIME
DJ Yana live at AMV Grid – Main Landing Point
Step into a night wrapped in memories, music, and the glow of the past.
This Moonlight Show is a special one, dedicated to my Dad, whose birthday falls on this very day.
He filled our home with every kind of music you can imagine, and those sounds shaped my ears, my style, and the way I play today.

Think back to those living‑room parties…
Dining table pushed aside, lamp tied up higher so no one hit their head, and the old Delfts‑blue vases on the sideboard shaking on their feet while the wooden floor came alive.
That’s the spirit I’m bringing to the grid tonight.

🎶 All the 60’s and 70’s you love
🎶 A warm, nostalgic set straight from the heart
🎶 A tribute to the man who taught me what music really means

Join me under the moonlight at AMV Grid.
Let’s make the floor dance again.

Nous avons mené une refonte complète de LBSA.
L’ancienne structure a été entièrement repensée afin d’offrir un environnement plus en phase avec la vie virtuelle actuelle.

La sim est désormais plus ouverte, plus aérée et plus conviviale, avec des espaces pensés pour favoriser les échanges et la rencontre. Une attention particulière a été portée à la circulation, au confort visuel et à l’ambiance générale, afin de créer un lieu agréable où l’on a envie de rester.

Une nouvelle zone dédiée permet également aux visiteurs de danser, se divertir et partager des moments plus festifs, renforçant ainsi l’aspect social et vivant de LBSA.

Cette transformation marque une nouvelle étape :
LBSA devient un espace moderne, accueillant et adapté aux usages d’aujourd’hui, où la convivialité et le plaisir d’être ensemble occupent une place centrale.

Alors, êtes-vous curieux de découvrir ce nouveau LBSA ?
Ou peut-être avez-vous simplement envie de venir discuter et partager un moment ?

Que ce soit pour explorer, échanger ou simplement passer un bon moment, les portes sont ouvertes.
N’hésitez pas à venir nous rejoindre
