SPOTLIGHT FEATURE- Interview with Bill Kaye of (SLBR)Second Life Business Review- Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

  


   Second Life has a versatile atmosphere with many activities and events happening around the clock. Magazines and media sources across the grid make their virtual living by providing exposure to the various business and venues that support entertainment. Mixing business and pleasure is frowned upon in certain situations and in others, it is the perfect combination for bringing people together from both sides of the virtual spectrum.

With the increase of media sources all competing for readers, group members, advertisers and stories, it is difficult for avatars to get their news in one place, or they spend way too much time searching through media sources that satisfies all their interests and provide them services.

Recently, I had a meeting with Bill Kaye, an up and coming business journalist with an eye for hot topics to help SL entrepreneurs succeed. We discussed how we could combine our sources to give our readers a combination of Business and entertainment news.

On November 18, 2012, SLBR and SLE came into an agreement to give readers access from both sources. You can find business news on The SL Enquirer main tabs, as well as a convenient RSS feed of their latest headlines on the left column of our site. In exchange, SLBR features SLE’s top stories on their news source. With ideas still on the table for new projects, I thought it would be fitting to have a sit down and discuss our plans so you all know what to expect with this collaboration.

The SLE Circus has come and gone! Congratulations to the winners!

The SL Enquirer brought the circus to EGOISME for a spectacular event On November 26, 2012. The festivites kicked off  at 4pm slt with DJ Kennef Riggles creating the musical atmosphere. Dressed in a fancy outfit, Marriellaanna Resident hosted the event with the help of Lanai's pet jaguar, Pedro. Guests came from near and far to gathered around the sawdust circus rink and spectate on all the activity.

 Truth or dare was surely an ice breaker as guests shared things they normally wouldn't with stranger and all had great fun chiming in and expressing themselves. Some circus goers took to the  bumper cars and let out a little virtual road rage as others opted for the more daring acts like the trapeze and bed of nails.  The bravest of all seemed to enjoy blowing themselves to oblivion by cannon force.

 

The prize for best outfit went to the two head zebra, adien007 Leimes. Other prizes were won inside the prize tent, including exclusive SLE gag gifts, a spotlight feature, a date with Lanai Jarrico and another with SLBR's Bill Kaye!

Machinima Expo Awards Results - Jaded Exonar Reporting....

Watch live streaming video from themachinimaexpo at livestream.com

This week saw the end of the Machinima Expo - The famous and highly renowned 3 day virtual film festival. The ceremony took place in Secondlife, and featured over 12 hours of groundbreaking film screenings, all created using virtual reality.

Pooky Amsterdam was asked to be this years Programming Chair, explaining on her website that...

"....This year we took a theme for the Expo that would reflect what is important as we move forward. In this decade of increased awareness on all levels of the Entertainment industry on the value and validity of games, "Let's Get Real" is what we chose. Let's Get Real means, in game engine film making, a celebration of the craft of machinima film making (which is something the Expo has been doing since 2008 by the way) and the exploration of where, how, what and why we are getting better and bigger all the time.

SL Ethics? Jaded Exonar Reporting...

Ethics. We all live by them, using them as a guide to help us negotiate our actions and responses in life - But how do they apply to our Second Life? Do they even have a place there, or do we simply render them as inappropriate or unhelpful in SL?




The Oxford English Dictionary defines ethics as 'moral principles that govern a person’s behavior or the conducting of an activity'. If we use this as our definition, they should be an integral part of our Second Life experience; but are they really the same as in RL?

There are a few very general guides of conduct that the long term SL community at large tends to adhere to as rule. These include -

# Changing your avatar's appearance or clothes in private

# Using private voice chat to talk about personal issues

# Not asking strangers for Lindens

# Talking to child avatars as though they were children (Until you are asked otherwise!)

# Keeping conversations as purely Second Life until you know it is Ok to discuss RL (From someone's profile, or if they tell you they don't mind)

Doomsday approaches or does it? - Cecilia Rose Reporting ....

What do avies think about the Mayan's prediction of Doomsday? 

Before answering this initial question, it is necessary to focus on some fundamental issues, such as: what the Mayan calendar really is? How does it work and  what is the contribution of modern research on the Prophecy?

1) What is the Mayan Calendar?

The Mayan calendar is a system of calendars used in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, and in many modern communities in highland Guatemala and in Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico.

The essentials of the Maya calendar are based upon a system which had been in common use throughout the region, dating back to at least the 5th century BCE. It shares many aspects with calendars employed by other earlier Mesoamerican civilizations, such as the Zapotec and Olmec, and contemporary or later ones such as the Mixtec and Aztec calendars.

Although the Mesoamerican calendar did not originate with the Maya, their subsequent extensions and refinements of it were the most sophisticated. Along with those of the Aztecs, the Maya calendars are the best-documented and most completely understood.

By the Maya mythological tradition, as documented in Colonial Yucatec accounts and reconstructed from Late Classic and Postclassic inscriptions, the deity Itzamna is frequently credited with bringing the knowledge of the calendar system to the ancestral Maya, along with writing in general and other foundational aspects of Maya culture.

Fall Activities in Second Life - Cecilia Rose Reporting...

This article was to be dedicated to fall activities, but I'll confess that it looks more like all seasons in one. OK now let's see what fields we will try to cover: Sales, Hunts and Events.  These three happen all year around, but we'll focus on the most recent ones.

Sales: Without exaggeration, this is the favorite pastime of the feminine of the species. Most of the shops in Second Life offer weekly sales rather than monthly ones. So, I am going to give you a useful list of the very best of the branded shops and examples of their weekly sales.

Of course, the sales don't stop at what you see posted here, there is plenty more to find and buy without breaking the bank.

Keeping Warm During the Winter Freeze - Coco Lierfatte Reporting...

It's that time of year when the air gets chilly, and the snow starts to fall. Tinsel is going up, mistletoe is hung, families start making plans on how to spend the holidays.

Whether your going skiing or just spending the holidays at home, you still need to worry about one thing. That is what to wear during the chilly months of the year.   

The first chill of the holiday seasons, are the best way to know that your going to need to bundle up.

 

Bundling up is essential. Plush scarves, comfy but fashionable boots, warm and soft mittens, are just a few of the many things you'll need. My favorite thing about the fall/winter season is getting to wear a soft and fluffy sweater.

 

Where to shop during the fall/winter season is a vital decision too. You can shop comfy or you can shop stylish. What's most important is that your comfortable in, because comfort is the most fashionable thing for anyone.
