For the past few weeks, the Teams Chairs Panza Eilde and PrettyKitty Gumbo have been working with a team of mentors and liaisons to recruit, register and train the team captains and help them to start planning events ... over 80 teams have registered to date, and now they’re ready to KICK OFF!

Virtual Hajj

Wednesday, March 09, 2011 culture, March 2011, Sports and Leisure, stacey cardalines No comments

With all the frightening stuff going on the Middle East these days, one can look at the news and forget that those people are kind of cool, too.

One of the Five Pillars of Islam involves making a Hajj to the holy city of Mecca. Thanks to an amazing new sim at OnIslam, you can actually make the hajj yourself.

It is very meticulously designed, and they seem to have made an effort to cover all the bases. You are immediately struck by how beautiful the place is. It is also very busy, and there is lots to do... even immediately upon arrival.

Not only does Mecca look authentic, but they have the little things down. There is a tour bus where you land. They have water set up for thirsty travellers (Mecca is in a harsh part of Saudi Arabia). They really made great efforts here, and it shows.

They have plenty of information about the sim and about Islam in general. You can get a virtual Koran, or read the 10 foot one they have on the premises. I actually got a good picture of it, but I used me instead. How often will you see me in an Abaya?

An Abaya is the clothing you wear when making the Pilgrim trip. It actually looks very Plymouth Pilgrim-like. I met some of the people who help out at the sim, and they hooked me up with the Abaya shown in the photo.

By the way... in case you feel you are going to show up there and have someone burn your flag or call you an infidel dog... it han't happened to me yet. Everyone has been nice and helpful, eager to provide information.

Note... while I am not fit to make blanket statements on behalf of Allah or anything like that, I would say that a virtual Hajj to a virtual Mecca doesn't actually count as one of the Five Pillars Of Islam. You still have to go IRL. This is more of an educational experience, and it is a fine one.

SL ARTS & LITERATURE: Review - Dramatiques Troupe Tours “Narnia” Production

Monday, March 07, 2011 ballet, Caledonia Skytower, Dramatiques Performance Troupe, Narnia No comments

Preparation is everything. Especially when performing in Second Life. Because performing in SL can be just as nerve-wracking as performing in the corporeal world. Timing is still everything, as is paying attention to your audience – an audience who may not even be in your same time zone! It is easy to look at something like a virtual dance performance and say that it is just so much hopping on poseballs. Yes, technically it is. But hopping on the correct poseball, at the correct moment, and hopefully wearing the correct thing. In this the technology of the grid does not always aid your efforts. In all respects, preparation, design, and execution, the current Narnia tour of Dramatiques Performance Troupe shows pride in, and attention to these details.

Lingerie, Anyone? EDS Launch Party

On Friday, March 4, I was invited to the EDS Launch Party for their new line of lingerie, and being a person who hardly ever says no to a party invite, I went shopping for a sexy piece of lingerie and headed out to the party--making sure I had enough funds to buy me a few saucy pieces while there.

SL ARTS & LITERATURE: Another One Bites the Dust

Monday, February 28, 2011 Caledonia Skytower, Jilly Kidd, London School of Journalism, writers, Written Word No comments

While preparing another feature, this notice came across my virtual desk from Jilly Kidd of Written Word announcing the closure of the London School of Journalism (LSJ) operations in Second Life :

“We're sorry to say the LSJ is leaving Second Life in mid-March. Do pop over to enjoy this lovely island in the final weeks and to enjoy what the LSJ has been doing here.

“We're grateful for the space the LSJ has provided for writers and for writing events . . . The LSJ teaches writing in a variety of forms as well as journalism and has a great free contest on the website every month, so stay in touch.”

While no specific information is available, it is not hard to connect this closure with the recent change in the pricing structure that eliminates tier discounts for Education and Non-Profit land owners on the Second Life grid.

Need Some Fun in Your Life? Check Out Pando!

Monday, February 28, 2011 games, second life, Shon Charisma, Travel No comments

I'm always looking for something fun to do--not only for myself but also for my daughters and granddaughter and the myriads of friends who might stop by, bored, needing something to do.

Saturday afternoon, I had my mind set to go to this one particular place on the grid and ended up on Pando instead--and needless to say, I'm glad for that. There is SO much to do...and it was MORE than fun.

Let the fun begin

Things Virtual People Like

Thursday, February 24, 2011 stacey cardalines No comments

Sometimes, I wander around SL, ask the same random question of people, and then speak for every avatar in the game. I have the authority to do so, as I am the Sports And Leisure Editor and because I also have a picture of myself in front of the White House press conference thingy.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington S.L.

Monday, February 21, 2011 stacey cardalines No comments

Just a quick note to let you know that February 21st is President's Day!

Stop by the White House and wish the President a happy birthday, or whatever.

SL does have a White House, and whoever put it together put a lot of effort into it. Walk around the grounds, visit the Washington Monument, and do all that other DC stuff. Try to not make any sudden moves near the Secret Service.

Stacey knows George Washington from her time in Virginia.

TRAVEL & INSIDE SL - Churches in SL - Shon Charisma Reporting

Monday, February 21, 2011 Churches, second life, Shon Charisma, Travel No comments

Fort Augustus Abbey on Loch NessLink to Real-Life Abbey

I like to visit places. It's a big part of what I do in Second Life. Can't get to Paris in real life? Check it out in SL until you get there for real. Want to see the Statue of Liberty? Then take a TP to New York in SL, and in a matter of seconds you'll not only see the Statue of Liberty, but you'll also see the 911 Memorial. When I'm in the mood to have some peace and quiet, to think and not be disturbed, I often find myself searching beautifully crafted churches in SL for solace--and there are many of them--some where services are held and some where just for the beauty of the real life version, they are created in Second Life.
