Former owner of Press Pass,Carmichael Caudron welcomes Lanai with confidence and pleasure as his replacement as he needs to tend to some real life situations relocating and will not return to Press Pass as his time needed to complete his paperwork relocating to another country is indefinite.
Tomorrow is that one day out of the year when men scramble like crazy to find the perfect roses, the sweetest chocolates, the brightest diamond--all in the hopes of wishing their beloved sweetie a happy Valentine's Day. While I believe in showing my affections every day of the year, I thought I would help those late-to-the-party, wait-til-the-last-minute people and spotlight some gifts you can get NOW for your SL love.
Intense Wrestling is one of the realest wrestling sport in Second Life in my opinion. It’s not like the fake stuff on TV but the old, true wrestling styles. The fights look real and are interesting to watch. It’s not only a fight club but a real business with real people. Soon after the wrestling matches I interviewed the founders and co-owners of Intense Wrestling Ryan Fury and Derrick Zane.
Interview NemzKat Resident: What is Intense Wrestling?
RyanFury Irelund: "The future of wrestling, it proves that real world business can be translated into Second Life. It is the 'brain child' of two real life wrestling Veterans with 20 years of experience."
Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012)
Today, the music world lost a powerful voice. Whitney Houston was best known for her award winning vocal range and songs like " I want to dance with Somebody", "Didn't we almost have it all" and "I will always love you". Ms. Houston was found in her Beverly Hills Hilton hotel room by her bodygaurd. Attempts to resusitate the star were unsucessful.
Whitney's life in recent years has been in and out of news headlines due to her struggles with addiction, and her volatile 14 year marriage. From reports it seemed this superstar was making a coming back and was expected to attend the Grammy's pre show Gala.
She is survived by daughter, 19 year old Bobbi Kristina Brown, her only child with former New Edition member Bobby Brown. It was also reported Ray J was dating the singer at the time of her passing. At this time, cause of death has not yet been reported.

(¸.•´ (¸.•´ .•´ ¸¸.•¨¯`• Join Black Soul Rhythms Radio for ♡Valentines Day @ Bricktops on Virtual Montmartre sim. This will be a truly grown sexy event celebrating BLACK HISTORY MONTH spotlighting RL Harlem in Montmartre:
+++++++++
Virtual Montmartre is the sister sim of Virtual Harlem. The University of Paris IV-Sorbonne funded the development of these sims in 2004. The relationship of Montmartre to Harlem is clear to scholars of the Jazz Age/Harlem Renaissance, for it was in that Jazz was introduced and popularized in Europe by African American troops who fought under the French flag in World War I. These prestigious sims have been cosponsored by the National Black Programming Consortium and the Government of Norway for the development of Virtual Harlem and Virtual Montmartre in Second Life. They continue to be educational sims frequently being utilized internationally by RL students, SL artists, filmakers, writers, and faculty.
For more information contact Indea Vaher, Program Admin. for Virtual Montmartre
Ce Soir is a place of quiet solitude. I was to be here for the poetry of Karima Hoisan. The hosts for this evening are Aeon and Mireille Jenvieve-Woodford, the owners of Ce Soir Music and Arts. I strolled about the grounds of this sim during the mid afternoon settings. The low shadows give the location a Gothic feel. Rather than a trimmed and manicured garden, you will find grounds that haven't been mowed, and trees in need of pruning. This is a wonderful setting for the buildings, which are open and spacious.
I had the opportunity to sit down with Ms. Hoisan on the Tuesday before her performance at "Kari's Kantina del Mar" to conduct a quick interview. Ms. Hoisan has been in-world for four years. Currently living in Costa Rica, she prefers to keep her persona in Second Life and physical reality separate. Karima isn't classically trained as a writer, yet she has been writing since the age of 9. She's published in the default world, writing under a pen-name. Karima has two poetry books published, and two children’s books of poetry. She is featured in an anthology of 13 poets chosen internationally and published this year in the USA. She also plans on publishing her book “Digital Rabbit Hole” in RL, in a soft-cover format.
At one point, she had not written in over a year, so she brought a friend into SL. There, they read to each other to get their creative juices flowing. She sometimes writes her own music to complement her poetry.
I recently met with Wynter Sommer and Andi Canare at BattleBeast Breedables and was given a tour by Battle himself. I love Second Life animals, both regular and fantasy, so this was an incredible experience for me. Battle tells us a bit about his beginning in Second Life and life before BattleBeast:
'Most of the team have been in Second Life since 2006 or 2007. When I had looked at Second Life before, it seemed slow and clunky (and I probably didn't understand it). When I came back in 2008, it was ready for me, and vice versa.'
'I used to sleep more ;) Seriously, I think I used to watch TV more. Who needs TV when you can make friends from all over the world, in our own "alternate" reality show... and fly dragons?! Woohoo!'
Our kickoff event will feature the one and only P!NK….. So, join Dream Seekers & Costa Rica Sims residents & friends for one FUN HOUSE show, this is one performance you do not want to miss….

February is the month of LOVE - whether in the real world or in virtual spaces, such as Second Life. With this article, I kick off weekly articles that cover various aspects of love, whether it's taking your loved one to a romantic hot spot, giving dish on great (and no so great) dating experiences in-world, or talking with a couple that's managed to withstand the insanity of Second Life and stay together.
This week, it's all about romantic hot spots. Second Life is known for its beautifully-designed spaces, and some of the most impressive spaces in-world are the ones dedicated to lovers. If you want to impress your mate, consider checking out one or all of the following locales in-world; all couples need "alone" time--let these places be where you can get some of that time.
Wanna Have Fun? Head to Skate & Date Resort
If you are looking for fun, then Skate & Date Resort is a place you need to check out. Here, you roller skate or ice skate, join in on ski races, snuggle by the fire and drink hot cocoa, dance, and much more. And if you're single and looking to mingle, love could be in the air for you here, too! Your limo to Skate & Date Resort awaits!
Astrology for the month of February is ready for you to enjoy! 4th generation Psychic Medium Linda Lauren's Astrology helps you with choosing the right colors and the best day of the week to move you forward with positive energy!
Valentines Day is a subject that can vary widely, depending on who you ask. Many women will eagerly look forward to recieving gifts of chocolates, flowers, and trinkets. Children will giggle and poke fun at their peers, blushing at the tiny paper wishes, printed with animated characters, or stuffed animals. And men. Ah, yes, men. We like to fly under the radar on that day.
It's not that we aren't romantic. Far from it! I've spent many happy hours courting my wife in RL. There was one time early in our marriage when we wandered through the greeting cards at the local Hallmark Shop. We took turns just showing each other Valentine cards that caught our fancy. Afterwards, we went to a fast food place and just talked while we ate, dreaming about the future.
Since 2010, the faith-based organization Unity Productions has thrilled audiences across the grid with its original productions that bring biblical stories to virtual life!

For the past couple of years I have had a love/hate relationship with Cupid. Not because my heart was broken due to his stray arrows. He’s just always trying to get with me despite my declaration of love for Superman.Besides that, he wears too much old spice Swagger for me. Ugggh.
I interview Cupid around this time every year just to keep tabs on him and make sure he is on the straight and narrow. Last I heard he was detained for questioning in a bold attack on the Easter Bunny. Apparently our Spring mascot was shot with an arrow belonging to “The Love Doctor” aka Cupid. He nearly suffered a heart attack because his sexual stamina increased 200 times that of the average rabbit.
Combining a breedable animal with gaming. The BattleBeast Breedables Dragon is the first SL project to unify the fun of breedables, gaming, and role play (RP). Our very exciting “Countdown to Launch” project started last week, with a Closed Beta. “This testing is an instrumental part of our program”, said BattleBeast Resident, “I might add that Closed Beta has gone quite smoothly and the group of people who’ve been testing the dragon have been happy with the project and are very enjoyable to work with.”
What’s so revolutionary about a breeding dragon, one might ask? Well, the BattleBeast Breedables dragons don’t JUST produce off-spring, eat, interact, and look amazing in accessories... (although they DO look amazing in accessories), the Beasts battle! Gamers will appreciate that XP, Levels are earned through battle. Stamina, strength and speed are a blend of Nature and Nuture: Breeding and Battle. As you breed your dragon traits to produce the best possible (“Nature”), the dragon also gains through battle (“Nurture”).
Better Battles means Better Breeding, and Better Breeding means Better Battles.
The BattleBeast dragon is a game built around its own history and adventure. Then add in the fact that they hunt, they patrol and you can ride them, and you’ve got Second Life revolutionary!
