Strutting Down the Catwalk in Second Life- Sarahelisebeth Brenham Reporting…

| Tiviyah Resident/ picture taken by Fuzz Lennie |
Many dream about becoming a
model. But do people really know what this industry is all about. Come with me
as we explore this profession.
Everybody wants a job that is financially and emotionally fulfilling; whether it be in Second Life or Real Life. Some professions require more of one’s mental resources, in exchange for a bigger paycheck. One vocation that while emotionally rewarding can also be mentally and financially draining. The career that I’m referring to is modeling.

Religion In Second Life- Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting…
If you are in tune with your religious and spiritual
side, Second Life offers many locations and groups for the religious and
spiritual minded individual.
Religious & spiritual locations can be divided
up into three categories. The first category is replicas of famous landmarks.
This category includes replicas of such famous religious landmarks as The
Cathedral of Notre Dame. The second category are sims which have actual in
world religious and spiritual services that you can attend. The last category
are places of meditation, where you can sit and reflect in your
surroundings. So how do you find these
places? An easy way is the Second
Life Destinations Guide, which has a Spirituality & Belief
category.
NIC eGovernment Island in Second Life- Nomad Aries Reporting…

Recently I visited NIC eGov Island in Second Life to see exactly what government is doing in the virtual world. This is not a Role Play sim and does not simulate a government. It is however, designed to deliver real local, state and federal government services to the public.
What goes on at the NIC eGoverment sim and what is NIC

YOU DID WHAT?! - Funny and Embarrassing Stories in the Virtual World- Nehem Resident Reporting…
Second life is many things. It can be used for work, play, fun or drama. It can also be embarrassing or downright hilarious.
As we go through our second lives, we often run into our share of insanity with friends or family. During these times, unforgettable moments are created. We can laugh about them now, but at the time we were left feeling absolutely mortified. As we recall our stories, we feel a sense of accomplishment as well. We realize how much we have been through in our years in the virtual world, in both good times and bad. Let´s dive into the stories of some everyday residents, and have a good chuckle at the many things that can happen in the vast world of Second Life ©.

TECHNOLOGY: Feature Phoenix Viewer New Update- Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting…
The new release of Firestorm has not been without its
fans or its critics. The critics have even gotten to Firestorm project manager,
Jessica Lyon, who took to the official Firestorm blog this week to voice her frustration at
the criticism of the latest Firestorm release.
I currently use Firestorm as one of my main Second Life
viewers, Singularity being the other one that I use frequently. In the latest release, Firestorm added many
features. The biggest one was the
ability to render avatars using the new Server Side Baking process, which will
replace the old HTTP way to render avatars.
Server
Side Baking is part of the Linden Lab’s Project Shining,
which is aimed at improving avatars and object streaming speeds.
In addition to incorporating this major change, Firestorm
also has the ability to back up and restore your viewer settings, which is a
very helpful command to have, when your computer dies and you have to reinstall
Firestorm and you cannot remember all of those special settings. The Firestorm
team has also included a more streamlined and easier way to customize some of
your favorite viewer settings, by creating a Quick Preferences panel:
Spotlight on Elese Faulkes; An Avatar in Second Life- Vapor Paragorn Reporting…
Second Life is indeed a
fascinating virtual platform, where you can meet interesting people from all over
the globe. You can explore different lifestyles and can learn new things. Socializing
is certainly the most prominent feature of SL, which allows us to interact with
people in variety of ways. Our random and friendly interactions with people
impacts on us in a number of ways, which helps us to better understand people
and life as a whole.
Every interaction either
short or long term, teaches us something and helps us to improve as a person. Every
new person we meet is like reading a new book, a book that stores new stories
for us, new experiences and sometimes new lessons too.
Through one of my random
interactions, I met Elese Faulkes. Reading her profile I found her to be an
interesting person. So I decided to talk to her about her Second Life
experience and activities in the virtual world. Elese is a real life artist and
exhibits her work in Second Life. She kindly invited me to her sim, which
houses her gallery.

Weddings Bells Are Ringing- Marriage Advice- Sarahelisabeth Brenham Reporting…
Weddings can be stressful
for engaged couples. Does having the "perfect" wedding seal the
deal that the marriage will last? Let's look at this question together.
Temperatures are rising in North America. This phenomenon could only mean one thing: Summer is on its way! The first day of this new season falls in the month of June. Many causes, milestones and holidays are celebrated and acknowledged in that month. While the different types of gatherings and celebrations that are recognized in June, this month has been a popular pick due to its rich history. What kind of celebration do many people plan to have in June?

What does Second Life mean to you?
I have an
assignment for another publication in Second Life, part of which required me to
ask a number of prominent SL residents the question “What does SL mean to you?” A number of those I asked simply couldn't be
bothered to answer me; I suppose they are above answering questions put to them
by some wanna be journo. I have to admit
that self-importance in SL is one of my pet peeves; most of us are busy in one
way or another, so when push comes to shove our time is all equally valuable
(in my opinion of course….)

Justitia Virtual Legal Resource Village-Legal Assistance for the Virtual Worlds- Nomad Aries Reporting…
Did you ever have questions of a legal
concern or feel the need for legal advice on Second Life? Were you
aware that there is legal help available to residents of Second Life?
Most of us never consider seeking a
lawyer. We conduct business and acquire
possessions and land, create products, sell them, produce works of art,
literature and music, and most of us never run into any conflict. What if you
do? Where can you turn for advice and resolution?
Spring Shoes for Men and Women- Tea Couturier Reporting…
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! We ladies
can never have enough winter spring, summer or autumn footwear.
It is spring again and a good reason
to clear out the old and bring in the new.
I decided to look for the best
spring shoes for women and thought men should also know what is in this season
too.
How Important Are Your Friendships and Relationships in SL?- Lanai Jarrico Reporting...
Having high expectations is something that can be a problem if you are a person that is only into shamelessly dating in the virtual world and wanting to take friendships and relationships into real life but lack certain qualities. Be careful what you get yourself into; perhaps the grass is balding and unkempt on the other side. If you decide to go exploring anyway, take a first aid kit.
If you value your friendships,
be sure to consider some things so your expectations in Second Life are not
interrupted by unnecessary awkwardness, drama and issues that can get out of
control; causing you to lose friends and have bad break ups.
Engaging in Conversation
Before engaging in
conversation leading to friendships, romance and self disclosure, be honest
with yourself and others or reconsider your activities of getting involved in a
virtual world friendship and or relationship. When investing real emotions, you
run the risk of being hurt or hurting others.
An Added Dimension to SL - Orchids Zenovka Reporting…
We
all know the well-known quote “The Only Constant In Life
Is Change.” - Heraclitus of
Ephesus, and the same applies to Second Life, and we
shouldn’t expect anything less. As we
approach the 10th Birthday of this virtual world of ours there are
rumblings out there on the grid as to exciting changes
that are afoot. We are all weathering
the mesh storm and eagerly await the mesh deformer which will make wearing mesh
outfits so much easier and the next big thing is rumoured to be 3D ….

SL Newser: Linden Lab to Allow Several Third-Party Exchange Services to Reopen, Podex Still Closed.
May 17- In a partial reversal of it's earlier ban, Linden Lab announced earlier today that they will be allowing Third-Party Linden exchange services after all. But so far, only five of the many exchangers have met their approval. Plus, the services now operate under tighter and more limiting terms and conditions.
My friends,
Music Island's future is uncertain, and this amazing venue may well be gone by month end.
To mark my appreciation of the Venue, and how it has helped us musicians here on SL, I am giving a special concert on May 19th at Noon SLT and I would like to invite you and yours to attend.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sea%20Turtle%20Island/53/11/22
I have written a new work as a tribute to this remarkable place, and its dedicated and brilliant Director, Kate Miranda.
I'll also perform some of my familiar tunes.
I don't think any other place on SL would give such a sympathetic home to non-mainstream musicians and experimental artists as Music Island has done.
I dearly hope it can be saved.
Le Gean.
Dainial.

VMS News: Relay for Life & SL: A Bit of History- Jallon Pizarro Reporting...
Relay for Life is the signature fundraising event for the American Cancer Society.
The Relay for Life came into existence in the mid-1980’s. This wonderful and life changing idea was brought into fruition by Dr. Gordy Klatt; Klatt was a colorectal surgeon in Tacoma, Washington.
The reasoning behind creating the Relay for Life events was to maximize and enhance the income of his American Cancer Society. The very first event that was held by Dr. Klatt was one in which he endured a rigorous twenty-four hours going around the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma for more than eighty-three miles. By the time it was all said and done he raised twenty-seven thousand dollars to go towards the battle against fighting cancer. Just months later he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team relay to be known only as the City of Destiny Classic Twenty-Four Hour Run Against Cancer. The story of the Relay For Life is one with a goal to raise money to fight cancer while having a great time with friends, family and perhaps new acquaintances. To unify neighborhood, community and even our world battling cancer while at the same time celebrating those of us that survived the fight while remembering those that did not during The Lumineria Ceremony.
Lights! Camera! Action!; Machinima in Second Life –Sarahelisabeth Brenham Reporting…
Have a burning passion to make movies? Here is your VIP pass to go behind the scenes with one of SL's famous videographer's and learn about this growing field.
We all have a voice. Each individual decides for him or herself on the best way to express their opinion. For those who love filmed productions, but prefer to be behind the lens, instead of in front of it, you may find that being a videographer is the best way for you to tell the world all of your thoughts.
In Second Life, one can
share their views on everything in mediums that aren’t available in Real Life
and vice versa. The processes in filming something in RL and in SL are quite
different from each-other. Until today, I didn’t know how to tape anything in
either realm, but I had the good fortune in meeting and talking with Rysan
Fall; a popular machinist in Second Life.
Second Life Etiquette; Sex: Part five- Pandora Drezelan Reporting…
For this part of the etiquette series I want to discuss etiquette and SL sex. Some people in Second Life are horrified by the very thought of avatar sex while others are either dabbling in it out of curiosity or have a virtual partner.
A few months after I began my Second Life, I
had a casual encounter and later became an escort at a busy Second Life Club.
Virtual sex wasn’t really my thing; however I was fascinated by the visual side
of it and continued on as a Second Life sex worker for quite a few months.
Eventually I went on to train as a virtual model, but I always remembered what
my working experience had taught me about sex in Second Life as well as what
NOT to do.

Ethical Communication in the Virtual World: How Important Is It To You and this Community? - Lanai Jarrico Reporting...
I’m not here to skip around all oblivious or sit pretty and paint perfect skies filled with rainbows and butterflies. I have to work here in Second Life © and want to throw in my 10 cents in on how I view Second Life’s communication health and also how we can mix and mingle in a virtual environment, in peace, with minimal to no drama and emotional issues.
WHEN 2 WORLDS COLLIDE: Mack and Me.- Mackenzie’s Mumblings...
Hi,
I'm Mackenzie Abbot, nice to meet you.
I'm
a journalist, DJ, married with 1 child and one on the way. I live on an island in a large house with my
wife Pia. I have a steady income from
pay checks and tips. I used to be a
lethario who would try and bed any woman he came across but meeting my goddess
changed me. Life is good at the moment.
I'm happy with my lot and hope it continues.
In
real life, I'm a thirty-five year old, separated father of one who sees his son
once a week. I'm just under six foot
tall and when I stand up and look down, I can't see my own size ten feet. Even with my osteo spondylitis, which is a
curved spine to you and me, I still can’t see them. I have some mental health problems and I live
at home with my mother. Real life, my
friends, is not so good and I hope it gets better. Ladies, come and get me!
Avoiding Grief in Second life- How to live Drama Free. –Nehem Resident Reporting…
Second Life can be rewarding, but it can also be a place of drama. It is how we handle drama that makes our second lives more enjoyable.
If you have spent any time here in the virtual world, you know it can be a breeding ground for disputes. The key to avoiding drama is all in how you respond to such. There are several types of nasty situations that can leave us not only wondering what just happened, but can also lead us to no longer wish to remain in the virtual world.
Griefing:
Take a walk on the wild side
Celebrating
Spring/Summer Fashion …. There is an opportunity for designers to step
out from their comfort zone and to embrace the non-main stream fashion market….
The girls
at Streetwhores SIM in Wirtz are planning a very different event in late May to
celebrate spring and its glorious feminine fashions. It’s planned to open up
the SIM for a day of riotous fun and fashion where the girls will showcase
fashions in a range of categories and be judged by a group of the SIMs’ male
visitors. To keep everyone on the boil, there will also be music and a dance
party at Club Radiance on the SIM. There will be something for everyone and is
a must see for anyone interested in female fashion, springtime or just the
company of those normally bawdy girls at Streetwhores.

SLBR News: BILL’S DEADLINE BLOG: I QUIT SL- Bill Kaye Reporting...
Admit it. You have said it too.
I think back to my first issue and my very first page. In my Letter From the Editor, I wrote that I would never quit SL. And despite the hyperbolic trickery of my blog’s headline, that remains true now. I’m not actually quitting SL.
I’ve just had one of those stressful weeks–scratch that–months. Fiscal quarters? Pretty much this entire stretch of 2013 has been a bumpy stretch.
