On Reflection with Lanai Jarrico - Lacy Muircastle reporting ....

First and foremost congratulations on your 9^th Rezz Day Lanai, from all your friends and your staff at the SL Enquirer, the top news source in Second Live as voted for in the AVI Choice Awards of 2013.

Lanai has been frenetically organising her Rezz Day celebrations in amongst all her other normal responsibilities that come with running a successful business in Second Life and those that naturally come with real life.

Lanai generously gave me some time to interview her and to spend some time reflecting on the past nine years in Second Life.   We sat down at the Lanai Beach Café at the SL Enquirer Headquarters and with a stunning view and a cup of coffee we wandered down Lanai’s memory lane….

Fishing in Second Life-Jessi2009 Warrol Reporting…

There are many things to do in Second Life and apparently one of those things is fishing. Yes fishing, complete with rods, fishing line, boats, and of course fish! 

A really good friend of mine, John, is a fisher in Second Life and he took the time to explain to me the various types of fishing systems from both a fisher and land owner standpoint.

We were standing in the 7Seas Area on Tribute City, which definitely did not smell “fishy”.  As John explained, “Fishing in Second Life is very similar to real life fishing, without having to actually clean the fish. There are many systems available. 7Seas, Neo Realms, Fish Hunt, Magic Fishing, and Star Fishing are the most well-known fishing systems. There is also Evo-Fishing, which I really don’t know much about”.

“Each fishing systems have their own ups and downs”, John continued. “I have fished them all. My personal favorite is Fish Hunt, but I really enjoy hosting 7Seas and Neo-Realms”. We teleported down to the main area of Tribute City, which is fishing central. I noticed buoys, vendors, and what looked like bait barrels.

New Dating Service Grand Opening for the Dominant and Submissive Community

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Dating Service Grand Opening for the Dominant and Submissive Community

Zurich Hillside, Secondlife (May 7, 2014) - Long time Secondlife resident, Jen Tafler, has opened a new matching service.  This service is dedicated to the Dominant and Submissive Community in hopes of bridging the gap between not knowing where to meet their ideal partner and the constraints of RL timezones and life in general.

"This is a great example of how you can integrate a void in service availability using multiple disciplines to provide the best solutions for the community," said Jen Tafler, Owner and CEO at DS Matching Services. "In creating this venue, we are providing an opportunity for people around the world to connect through another avenue not previously available or known thereof.."

DS Matching Services is an inworld dating system designed to provide Masters, Mistresses, FemDoms and Submissives with the ability to connect with each other based on a Profile Board Notecard.  This notecard is designed with opened questions that outline key information a potential suitor would like to know to make choices on their best possible partner match.  The system allows the Profile Board Owner/User to also outline their ideal partner, thus a better matching connection for future meetings and dates.

Take Part in Combat; Show Your Brutal Side- Piers Diesel Reporting...

Real life is rarely on the verge of mortal combat. Even when war takes place, most just watch it on television. No one joins the army. This leaves a void in many. The desire for all-out fights never gets fulfilled. The monotony of life takes over us and the pent-up aggression begins to show up as defects in our personalities. This may explain some weird behavior in real life.

But thanks to Second Life, we have a few places where we can release our pent-up emotions. These places let you indulge in your brutal fantasies at no cost to real life.

Here is a list:

THE WAR OF SECOND LIFE MUSIC TALENT- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…

“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” 

― Confucius, The Book of Rites

It has been brought to SLE’s attention that an SL Musician has been at verbal war via Facebook over a comment he made in regards to karaoke singers in Second Life. Freedom of expression is what allows us to speak our minds, particularly on social networks with today’s technology while receiving instant feedback. The only problem is in doing so, it opens the flood gates for others to voice their own opinions and ideas in agreement or against the comments being made.

 This particular incident has caused a verbal war of words between some musicians, Karaoke talents and fans alike who share the same entertainment circuit in the virtual world.

This type of social media friction is threatening what was once a thriving community of various talent who once supported each other in the name of music. Now it seems virtual rock-stardom has gotten to some heads and have shot up their ego way beyond  the atmosphere of rational virtual thinking. Could relationships between entertainers be resolved or will this feud continue and cause a collapse of support for SL music entertainment? Let’s not forget the fans as they are the ones who will ultimately decide.

In Mexico, this day is celebrated with parades and reenactments of the battle. In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is observed with week long festivities including music, dancing and lots of great food!

Avatars from around the globe in Second Life like to join in the festivities by throwing parties of their own. Here are some locations  where you can celebrate Cinco de Mayo, virtual style.

AVIE POLL: Catching Avies off Guard – Glossom Resident Reporting

What If a stranger contacted you to ask you something that makes no sense? Would you ignore it, reply nonsense back or would you try to understand?  Are second lifers humorous or grumpy? To which side the scale weighs more?

The SLE’s PE (SL Enquirer’s Private Eye) took action on finding the answer to those questions and went around asking avatars some very off tilt questions to see if and how they would respond. The result was simply hilarious.

With a stained reputation and a big label on my forehead saying “Crazy”, I have a feeling of mission accomplished. Today avatars will login to a more confused and hopefully humorous Second Life.

Given the nature of this mission, we will keep the participants names anonymous. Sit back, enjoy and try not to laugh. I challenge you!

Spotlight on Second Life Movie- Interview with Mickey Desantis- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…

Second Life - The Movie Trailer from Michael J Dawson on Vimeo.

For those who are not familiar with the virtual world; Second Life, they are missing out on a phenomenal technological advancement that can be used in so many different ways.

 Many people may have the wrong idea that Second Life is just a game and for some virtual platforms it is. When an economy is introduced to the equation, such as in Second Life, it becomes a means of generating an income and expanding on business and projects that exist in the real world.

Second Life is a virtual world that was created by Linden Lab for the people by the people. Creative minds from all over the world create an avatar and participate in this unique 3D world in a variety of ways. From art, music, fashion and media; content is created all the time.  Relationships are formed and amazing things happen.

The SL Enquirer came across one such character. His name is Mickey DeSantis. Unlike other avatars, his existence is not to be portrayed as a human. Instead, his avatar is part of a project that has tied both the virtual and real world together in a very unique way.

Second Life™ 11th Birthday Community Celebration is coming!

The event will be held from Sunday June 22nd – Sunday June 29th—seven days of amazing exhibits, music, conversation, debate, firework displays, games, puzzles, sports and everything else the wonderfully inventive communities of Second Life™ can pack into seven days and 11 sims. Actually, even that won’t be the end of it, as the sims will be open for a further seven days for everyone to explore.

What’s our theme?

The theme this year takes inspiration from a quote by the British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill:

The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.

Last year’s theme was “Looking Forward, Looking Back,” but we focused mostly on looking back, and rightly so, as 10 years was an important milestone and a perfect opportunity to reflect back on where we came from.

This year it’s time to look forward; to imagine where we are headed.

When Winston Churchill said this in 1943, he could not have imagined a virtual world like Second Life, but now, more than seventy years later, his words have come true in this new world that we have created.

If there’s one thing that makes SL unique, it’s our community of users. Users from all corners of the globe come together under a single umbrella to build a community that comes from our minds and our imaginations. Everything we see, touch and use in Second Life is a product of our imaginations, our minds, and our community.

And this year, at the SL11B Community Celebration, we want to celebrate precisely that!

Get thinking. Get imagining. Get creative!

Gossip in SL-Ain't Nobody Got Time for That!- Jessii2009 Warrhol Reporting…

So you log into Second Life from a long day at real life work and are flooded with ims about things you supposedly said or did.

Most of the information being sent to you is only half truths or simply lies. How can you avoid being the talk of the town in Second Life? This article will show you how.

The first rule is not to participate in gossip at all. This can be hard to do in Second Life. You may be privy to hot gossip about friends or enemies. The thing to do is not to spread this gossip around or if you feel the need to tell someone, only tell people you can trust. Not spreading gossip gives you more credibility, so when gossip about you is being passed around, people will more than likely not believe it if you are reputable.
