Behind the Fennux: Interview w/the Creators -Definate Balfour Reporting...




We can pick from so many breedables to play within world, from kitties to dogs even plants, but has anyone wondered where they come from? Yes we all know the whole girl and boy makes baby part, but what about the creators, the grand masterminds that cause us to fall in love with adorable and awesome creatures to go forth and multiple? With this question plaguing me I was able to find the answer, for at least one cute and adorable breed. The Fennux is the latest breedable to make a big hit, from auction to homes these little fox-like cuties are no doubt causing a tidal wave among all those that come in contact with them.

Cool tips for Dating an Avatar found on Discovery News- Lanai Jarrico Reporting...


2/14/13

I'm a shameless news addict and not afraid to admit it. When I'm not covering virtual world news, publishing for others or roaming the grid looking for something to write about, I'm checking out news on different real world outlets often so that I can stay in the know about the world around me.  From that disgruntle ex cop stand off in a cabin, the germ infested broke down Carnival Cruise ship finally docking and unloading traumatized passenger, the Olympic Runner charged in murdering his model girlfriend, a meteor explosion over Russia, , fashion and what not to wear, the Pope leaving his position, celebrity gossip about Kim and Kanye receiving special treatment at JFK airport and causing a security breech and the weird and the wacky, to finding news about Second Life on major news outlets. I must say, it is a lot to absorb!


Here is an interesting article I found on Discovery News about Dating Avatars and some tips that can help those that are involved in dating in Second Life.

Take Your Date to the Movies! About Virtual Cinema- CeciliaRosalie Resident Reporting...



This article shouldn't start in any other way than with this question… What movies are playing?


     In real life, going to the Cinema may be one of the most popular activities for couples on dates or just going out with a group of friends, but is there any place for it in our Virtual World?

 I had never seen a Cinema in Second Life and I think only a few of my friends have heard of it, even though there are lots of movie theaters available. So, I went to check out some of them. Some gave out free snacks such as popcorn, burritos and soft drinks while others were small and minimal. It seems that most of the movies are in high definition and all you need to watch the movie is QuickTime. (It's a free program you can download) I recommend setting  your environment to midnight for best results.

INTERVIEW WITH CUPID Lanai Jarrico Reporting…




For the past few years, I’ve interviewed a very sexy Cupid for Valentine’s Day and with each passing year he seemed to be more distant and even mentioned hanging up his arrows and moving on to his second passion of dragon slaying and baking special cupcakes and brownies . It appears he did just as he threatened and passed the romance enhancing bow to the next in line. The great news is I have a Cupid to interview, this time it is a Rastafarian. I was always used to a good flirt and the original Cupid’s sarcastic humor. Let’s just hope this new one can hold his own.

IMPORTANT LETTER FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF: Is Second Life a breeding ground for Lunatics and Griefers? You too can be a victim. - Lanai Jarrico



How should we handle people that hide behind avatars and trespass against us with the thought that they can easily get away with it because nothing can be done to stop them?
In the years I have been reporting news in Second Life, I have come across people with major attitude problems, drama enough to book solid five seasons of Jerry Springer, and emotional baggage handlers that we just want to put on a flight to oblivion in the name of preservation of  peace in a virtual world we value.

Things You Should Know About Using Social Media and How It Can Affect You -Lanai Jarrico Reporting…



Technology has made it easy for people from all over the world to communicate and express themselves in real time with family, friends, co- workers and other sources that you cannot otherwise connect with in local settings. 

 Users pick up new friends fast and easy by common interests, through mutual friends or an association with jobs and other resources.  The important thing in maintaining a successful social media network is by monitoring it for unwanted content and removing those that create negative energy for you and others that can read all the feeds and posts available in your network.  The most important thing to know is, you are in control of your social media and should practice common sense when allowing others into your space because if something goes wrong, you are responsible for it.

Five Spiritual Tips by Linda Lauren


Another year has opened up, along with another opportunity to grow with the positive energy available to us.  Most of us remember to take care of the mind and the body, but we often neglect to tend to the Spirit, and yet it is the spirit that moves our daily lives on in  terms of positive and negative. I believe that is because there is confusion as to what the spirit is and what role it plays in the big picture. Most people understand the Spirit to be something they can not touch that is often defined through our faith and only practiced when we visit a house of worship.

Your Spirit is much more than that. It is the essence of who you are. It defines you and molds the personality. It is the factor that is responsible for the emotions you embrace and the moods you have in your life. Whether you respond or react, which are two very different things,  is really up to your spirit. So it's very important that you understand that that essence feeds your morale. When you are sad, that is the Spirit feeling sad. That in turn makes you think sad thoughts  and you become depressed. That sadness overwhelms you and eventually affects your body and it creates a dis-ease. Your Spirit is the universal life force within you and it is responsible for who you are and how you live. Keeping your Spirit up is a way to a healthy life. Here are some  tips to start you off:


Minimize your intake of news - be careful how you are feeding your spirit.  Nourish it with what you need to know rather than gorge on an appetite of what can fast become an abundant menu of negativity.

Second Life Etiquette Part 4- Good Business Sense- Pandora Drezelan Reporting...

Pandora Drezelan


 

As part four of The Second Life Etiquette series I am going to discuss etiquette within the work place, both as an employer and an employee, conducting business within Second Life is not really that much different to working situations in real life, however this may depend on your virtual job description. There is always a dress code as well as a code of ethics to maintain which also includes basic common sense and good manners. This may come across as a little harsh, but if you wish to relive your real life job within the virtual world or embark on your dream job that you never thought was possible then read on and please leave your comments and feedback.

“I believe that sex is one of the most beautiful, natural, wholesome things that money can buy.” * Lacy Muircastle reporting ....


* Quote by Steve Martin

I support Lanai’s stance on rape completely as stated in her article “A Disgraceful Sub-culture in Second Life”.  In no world is rape acceptable in any form whatsoever. 



At the end of last year I conducted some interviews with a few sex workers in Second Life, with a view to highlighting yet another way in which SL emulates RL.  I am not the first to post interviews with those that sell sex on SL and nor will I be the last. I want to assure you that the issue of rape had not crossed my mind when I decided to do this piece and in the case of the ladies I spoke with, the sex involved is consensual at all times and rape is not an option. 


The premise for my article originally was - why would the men of SL pay for something they can get for free almost anywhere in SL?
