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!

✨ Neue Outfits, neue Abenteuer! ✨
Unsere kleinen Wirbelwinde haben wieder frischen Style im Kleiderschrank – und plötzlich fühlt sich jeder Tag an wie eine Mini‑Premiere. Da wird gedreht, gepost, gelacht und natürlich ganz wichtig: ausprobiert, ob man damit schneller rennen, höher hüpfen oder noch lauter kichern kann.

Zwischen Sternchen, Teddy‑Vibes und Zuckerwatte‑Energie entstehen Looks, die so viel gute Laune versprühen, dass selbst die Erwachsenen kurz überlegen, ob sie nicht auch ein bisschen Glitzer im Alltag gebrauchen könnten.

Kurz gesagt: Die Kids sind bereit für alles, was Spaß macht – und ihre Outfits sowieso. Bühne frei für die nächste Runde Chaos, Kreativität und Kindermagie.

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)

Am Sonntag ab 20:00 Uhr:
Meine glitzernden Lieblingsmenschen,
es ist wieder so weit: Wir werfen Federn in die Luft,
Glitzer in die Haare und sämtliche Hemmungen in die Ecke.
Wir laden euch herzlich zu einer Burlesque Party ein –
mit einem kleinen Showact, der so charmant ist,
dass selbst eure Lachmuskeln erröten könnten.
Kommt, wie ihr wollt:
übertrieben glamourös, herrlich schräg
oder einfach bereit, euch köstlich zu amüsieren.
Hauptsache, ihr bringt gute Laune und eure besten
„Ich hab das extra so gewollt“-Moves mit.

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.

A little Sunvibes update 🌞

I’ve had to update all the Sunvibes stream links — all 7 streams now have new links.

Please grab the latest Sunvibes HUD from the welcome areas in all three Sunvibes sims: Sunvibes, Africa, and Shanti.

The updated HUD includes the latest links to all 7 Sunvibes streams:
Sunvibes World Mix, AfroVibes, IndiaVibes, South African Jazz, ChillVibes, Amapiano, and Indian Ragas — plus a few extra goodies for you 🎁

Across the Sunvibes sims, different areas are tuned to different music streams, so each space has its own atmosphere.

🌞 Main Sunvibes sim

The Sunvibes World Mix stream plays throughout the main sim.

🧘 Shanti sim

At the landing area, you’ll hear the ChillVibes stream.

At the Shanti Classical Indian Music School, the Indian Ragas stream is playing.

In the Music Garden, enjoy Indian contemporary music — fun tunes from Bollywood and beyond.

Relax to Amapiano at the Amapiano Lounge.

Dreck, Diamanten und der Duft von Drachenblut: Die Odyssee von ASIA

Hört zu, ihr Landratten des Pop-Ozeans! Wir schreiben das Jahr 1981, und die Welt des Progressive Rock lag im Sterben, erstickt an ihrem eigenen Ego und zwanzigminütigen Flötensoli. Aber aus der Asche dieser Dinosaurier erhob sich etwas, das so gefährlich glänzte wie ein frisch polierter Cadillac. Man nannte sie Asia.

We welcome you to Namaste .. a new and beautiful section of Sakura City we hope you may enjoy.

We're adding more very soon to Sakura, and would love to see you there. It's a vast place to wander, meditate, and enjoy your (virtual) life!

Tables with silver chairs have our usual fare, tables with the black chairs have the sushi! Oh, and don't forget to head to the Gazebo at Namaste and get your Seaweed or Miso soup!

We've been able to upgrade our hosting situation and things look stable. There will still be days the Grid is offline due to unexpected repairs or just maintenance. We've just backed up all our public sims and our resident sims as well.

Our usual downtime day will be Saturday for now, for the time being.

We'll be adding the regions here soon, but for now know that you can go to:

Any issues with that link, just go to The E Grid region from any of our sims listed here, or take the tp from any of the arrival areas :)

Petite bei BK Mode – Kleine Größe, große Ausstrahlung

Bei Petite geht es nicht darum, einfach nur Kleidung zu tragen. Es geht darum, ein Gefühl zu tragen. Dieses Kribbeln, wenn ein Look perfekt sitzt. Dieses Selbstbewusstsein, das plötzlich ganz selbstverständlich da ist. Diese Leichtigkeit, die sagt: „Ja, genau so will ich mich heute fühlen.“

Die Styles für Athena Petite sind gemacht für alle, die keine Kompromisse eingehen. Für alle, die wissen, dass Größe nichts mit Zentimetern zu tun hat, sondern mit Haltung. Für alle, die Lust haben, sich neu zu entdecken – mal lässig, mal elegant, mal frech, aber immer authentisch.

Ob du durch die City streifst, auf dem Dancefloor glänzt oder einfach deinen ganz eigenen Moment zelebrierst: Petite bringt deine Silhouette zum Strahlen und deine Persönlichkeit zum Leuchten. Zieh an, was dich stärker macht. Was dich verspielter macht. Was dich mehr du macht.

Petite – klein aber oho!

I would like to thank Medea Destiny from Secondlife who is a volunteer on the opencollar project for this modified script.

The remote Hud for the OpenCollar now that the ability to rez a Smart Post when you click the box on the remote in any region you have rez rights.

Get a new box with the updated remote as well as the box with the scripts and an old leash post with the updated scripts.

You can add the script to any leash post you would like. There is a notecard inside with instructions.

the script is also PBR compatible, so it will work nicely with a item that has PBR textures.
