As part of Dream Seeker Estates Gay Pride Celebration in June, we have put together a series of events in order to raise money for the charity Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Most of us have been touched by AIDS in one way or another. Sadly, this dreadful disease has fallen off the main stage as an illness, but still needs all our help. At the end of 2011, there were over 34 million people suffering with AIDS worldwide.

OI Magazine: A Slice Of The Second Life's Suburb Sims' History From Molly Montale's Plate - Luc Fray

| Molly Montale |
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to talk to one
of Second Life™ 's oldest residents, Molly Montale.
Montale had joined the game since 2005 after
seeing an article about it in New York Times™. Though not as
active now as she was before, mostly because of health problems, Montale still
granted me the time of the day when she had agreed to talk regarding one of
Second Life's biggest issue back when the game first started standing up on
wobbly legs...

SCREW BARBIE..I WANT TO BE A ROLLER DERBY GIRL - MariellaAnna Resident reporting...
A friend of mine
suddenly and out of the blue announced that she was in the SLRA roller Derby
team and did I want to come along and watch a match? I searched my sketchy mental database to come
up with any point of reference I might have had as to what she might possibly
have been talking about. Here, let me just point out I’m English, most of us
haven’t heard of roller derby much less know what it’s about and it’s for that
possible reason I eventually came up with a mental picture of female ex-cons or
women with excessive tattoos racing round a track on roller skates, trying to
kill each other between chugging down cans of lager and chain smoking cheroots.
VMS News: Musician Bara Jonson: A Success Story - Angharad Catteneo Reporting...
 |
| Bara Jonson |
Bara Jonson, a Second Life musician from Åhus, Sweden, has one of the greatest real life success stories I’ve encountered. I remember viewing a documentary on his Second Life so it was a treat to catch him live on the Grid. His music is a little alternative rock/country and his acoustic guitar complemented his strong voice. Listening to his performances, it’s easy to tell that Bara’s original songs were inspired by real life experiences.
I interviewed Bara about his music career and his journey to success.
Bara started with music at age seven and continued into his adult years. Around 1997 he took a ten-year break from music to concentrate on a business recruitment company. When the world’s economy took a nosedive in 2007, no one was hiring and as a result, recruitment companies weren’t needed. That was when he first started playing Second Life. The virtual world was a way to take his mind off of real life, although he had no knowledge of the music community within it.
“Well, I didn’t know anything about SL when I started. Then I thought about the idea of connecting a guitar and microphone to SL and maybe I could ‘find a place beside a fire to play for those who stopped by’,” he says of his first experiences in Second Life. Before he knew it, he had won the mediaculture Virtual Music Award of 2008 for Best Artist.

SL Newser : Interview with Michi Lumin- Bixyl Shuftan
In Second Life, one of the oldest communities is Luskwood, which is also the location of the oldest furry avatar company on the Grid. The four whom started the place, and company, are known as the founders. And probably the most popular of them is the skunkgirl in the top hat, Michi Lumin. Recently, Michi sat down for an interview, and talked about a number of subjects concerning Luskwood, the Grid over the years, and Linden Lab.

SLE/PPM Merger Takes a Turn in a New Direction. Lanai Jarrico Reporting...
Company mergers whether in our real world or in a virtual one, can be complex with many choices to make. The decision makers have to ask themselves some important questions to ensure working or merging with another business or entity is the right thing to do. Is the reputation of the company in good standing with the public? Do both parties have a common goal and can commit to the job requirements, its employees and the community. Some projects, partnership and mergers work, others fall through and new plans are implemented to ensure productivity and positive growth. That is the ultimate goal.
On May 14, 2012 The SL Enquirer announced a merger between Press Pass media; a neutral media network consisting of over 31 media sources and The SL Enquirer; Second Life’s longest running independently owned newspaper. Due to feedback from our members, we are making some small but important modifications to the plans.

| Avatar |
Fantasy takes on many forms, it is a genre of fiction that uses magic and other supernatural phenomena, many mythical creatures can be found in the world of fantasy, with all it’s folklore and mystery.
Almost, if not all fantasies in real life can be relived in Second Life, some residents explore the aspects of fantasy occasionally, while others form communities and live the lifestyle to it’s fullest potential, through cos-play and role-play.
COS-PLAY
Cos-play (short for costume play) is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Favorite sources include manga and anime, comic books, video games and films.
ROLE-PLAY
Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behavior to assume a role either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role, role-playing is defined as "the changing of one's behavior to fulfill a social role.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: " SL Bar Association Celebrates its First Annual Law Day Event"- May 19th-June 3rd
On May 19, 2012, the SL Bar Association will kick-off its first annual Law Day event in SL. To highlight the special reach of Second Life around the world, the Justitia Legal Resource Village will celibrate this year's theme No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom with a panel presentation and exhibition drawing attention to the role of courts as protectors of human rights and freedoms around the world. Events will take place May 19-June 3.
"Law Day is a new and exciting prospect for the SL Bar Association and we look forward to reaching across barriers of all kinds to promote the rule of law around the world." noted Sam Courtois, President of the SL Bar Association. Law Day is an annual event, which was originally conceived in 1957 when American Bar Association President Charles Rhynes envisioned a special national day to mark our commitment to the rule of law. The following year, US President Dwight D. Eisenhower established the first Law Day. Law Day was made official in 1961 when the United States Congress issued a joint resolution designating May 1 as the official date for celebrating Law Day.
As Second Life is a virtual world with a unique ability to break traditional real world barriers, the SL Law Day event has been modified in format in order to reach out to a larger audience.
For a schedule of events, you can visit the Legal Resource Village at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Justitia/126/120/954 or see our Events page listing.

CELEBRATING MOTHERS DAY ON SL -MarriellaAnna resident Reporting...
 |
| image borrowed from thinkdrawart.com |
Mothers are important, after all, you
only get one and good bad or indifferent all they ask is that you remember them
once a year. So, its mother’s day, time for some meticulous planning to prevent
the blind panic setting in as you realise you’ve completely forgotten despite
the big red circle round May 13th on the calendar and are forced
instead to rush to the supermarket to see if you can find an overpriced and
wilted bunch of flowers, ring every
restaurant within the next 8 states to see if there is a single seat left left
available in any of them or scour every shelf for the last remaining dog eared
card and tatty envelope. Fear no more, this
handy guide to mother’s day on sl will leave you well prepared and guilt free.
BREAKFAST IN
BED: Start
the morning the traditional way by treating your mum/mamma/maman to breakfast
in bed. There are a large variety of breakfast items available in sl, and what
better way to ingratiate yourself than carefully tromping up the stairs with a
laden tray full of assorted goodies. No grubby hands and fear of salmonella or
the ensuing mess that you’ll leave behind for your mother to clear up either
and everything is beautifully laid out and ready to consume. Luckily on sl too, nothing ever gets burnt
and the toast is always hot.
CRS News: “A Mother’s Love” May 13 @ 12pm SLT
