The SL Enquirer and Lanai Jarrico Turns 11 Today!



In 2005, Lanai Jarrico rezzed into Second Life on this day and brought with her an entertainment news source she began in another virtual world in October of 2004.

The original TSO Enquirer focused on news being created by residents in The SIMS Online. It was at the beginning of virtual world gaming. In early 2005, she was asked by fans to bring her newspaper into Second Life. After some thought, she migrated to a new virtual world called Second Life and changed the name to The SL Enquirer.

Since 2005, SLE has provided Second Life residents with entertainment news, spotlight features, event announcements and a variety of topics related to a unique virtual world culture. We’ve seen many changes through the years, watched businesses and venues come and go and seen SL switch hands from CEO to CEO.

It has been our pleasure growing and changing with the times, meeting our fans and being an ongoing staple of the SL community over the past decade.

We want to thank you for being a part of our journey and your continued support by reading our news, advertising with us and sharing your comments. We look forward to more years with you.

“The New Money Tree Is Actually A Lindo Virtual Flower”- MajikVixen Reporting...





So what is Lindo?  Lindo Virtual Flowers?  Huh?  You mean you haven't heard of this new rage overtaking Second Life?  Well you are missing out!  To put it simply, this is a new game designed to increase traffic and earn L$ very easily. 

The HUD is very simple and is flawless in its design and function.  You just add it, and click the watering can to water your virtual flower.  You’re able to water flowers in areas wherever the sun shines on the HUD.  If the sun is not shining, you just click the "Get Random Location" link on the HUD to teleport to a different place that has the sun shining, so you can water your flower. 

You will earn L$ as it grows and reaches full maturity.  To start growing another seed you verify a simple mathematical equation.  The HUD comes with a few free seeds, but eventually you’ll need to buy some more or pass a copy of the HUD to your friends to earn free seeds. 

Funds are delivered straight from your HUD, there's no need to visit an ATM.  This is a reliable game you can feel secure playing, and it is Alt and hack proof!  Store owners set up a terminal and seed dispenser wherever they want to increase traffic.  They can set it to SIM or Parcel and add pretty much any amount of L$ they would like to, into it.



 It was my husband JonCernunnos Resident, who first noticed Lindo.  We were at our home in Bonita Beach, and he noticed one of the neighbors had something very colorful set up.  Upon further inspection  he realized it was the headquarters of this new Lindo game.  Being an avid fishing player, I tried to get him into my game, I really did, but Jon seemed to have taken more of a liking to Lindo.  In fact, we even have a bet going that he's going to make more L$ at Lindo in 3 months than I ever have in my couple of years at fishing.  It looks like Jon has a pretty sporting chance of winning the bet! 

"...There doesn't seem to be any nickel and diming farming scheme to this," he adds, having been extremely disappointed in buying a useless worm farm after completing a quest. 

Lindo also has a great team of support agents who always seem to show up at events to greet the patrons and help support the shop owners' advertising and questions.  They are able to converse in many languages. 

Lindo was created by a Turkish gentleman, Sofistik (poltergeist.azarov), about a year and some months ago.  He says he it took about four months to release beta tests and about two months of a stable version, and that people knew about it in the 4-5 month range.  He says it all started when he was trying to write some scripts for a girl and her roof-opening building. 

A friend of his saw the roof prototype and told him it looked like a flower, which brought the totally unique Lindo project of increasing traffic, to life.  About 400 unique players join weekly. 

Sofistik noticed about two months ago, Russian, Turkish, German, and Italian residents started playing.  Lindo is promoted by word of mouth.  Passing a copy of your HUD earns you free seeds.  Terminal owners can also set multipliers to increase traffic on their land.  When this happens, the Lindo group notifies the players right away.

 In case you missed it, the location part of their website displays who has a multiplier going at any given time.

Sofistik is always improving his products.  He deems himself "obsessive about the design to make things as perfect as they can be," and rightly so.  Upcoming there will be boosters you can buy to gain double the XP in growing your flowers.  This will also allow players to increase their chances of winning weekly bonuses. 

Additionally there is a kick-back to terminal owners as well.  "For example, XP booster seeds will be around L$4 which terminal owners will get half of it."  He added, "Next improvements are all about terminal owners actually... because we want to keep its balance for both sides. We will try to reduce land owner bills as much as possible in next few updates.  And who knows, we might also help them make  profit from Lindo.  What I really want is such a market for everyone in fact."  Very exciting news, indeed!

Steele Entertainment Invites You to Visit SL Playboy World

 

This sim includes the SL Playboy Mansion with its associated venues as well as the newly opened Steele Plaza shopping district.  Each is easily accessed from the other.  SL Playboy World is a unique concept.   With diverse entertainment options appealing to different groups and preferences coming together on one amazing sim, SL Playboy World has undergone rapid growth with no signs of slowing down.  

    The Second Life Playboy Mansion & Club, where high style and sophistication come together.  The Playboy Clubs were world famous for their distinctive style, unique facilities, good food, man-sized drinks and, particularly, their beautiful Bunnies. Taking our inspiration from the original Playboy brand of the 1960's, we offer four venues on site for live concerts; dances, formals, weddings, live DJs; open mic comedy; live singers and tribute concerts.   These venues include:

1.  The Second Life Playboy Mansion – The Second Life Playboy Mansion is the heart of our SL Playboy world.  It features a pub, a game room and a cigar room as well as elegant party space.  It will be the SL Playboy Headquarters for Key holders (coming soon) to attend private functions and special events as well as a relaxing place to unwind after a long day at the office.

2.  The Grand Ball Room - The Grand Ballroom is an architecturally stunning edifice on the outside which contains a beautiful and elegant event space on the inside.   The Club hosts not only our salsa night and romantic formal dances and balls but talented live singers as well.

3.  The Club  - A versatile space, the Club is an exceptional dance and contest   venue which is easily turned into one of Second Life’s premier concert venues.  There are nightly themed contests along with some of the best music from the best DJs in Second Life.  The Club also boasts some of the best live musicians in Second Life.  Don’t miss Midnight Mansion every Friday from 10 pm SLT to midnight SLT.  Midnight Mansion hosts our popular “Dueling DJs” contest where some of Second Life’s best DJS square off to be crowned as our weekly champion.  The winner gets to come back and defend their title.  You always win with the best music anywhere.
    

4.  The Bunny Pool – The Bunny Pool hosts the Saturday Pool Party.  Come lounge on the patio or take a dip in our Bunny shaped pool while listening to the hottest jams from our live DJ.

5.  The Grotto (now open) - The Grotto is accessible by members of the Keyholder group.  It is a relaxing tropical island setting where members can  be pampered and relax as they unwind from a busy day or take a break to recharge before going back to work. 

    Whichever venue or event you attend, you will be welcomed by the world famous Playboy Bunnies.  When the Playboy Clubs opened, the Playboy Bunnies set a new definition and standard for charm, beauty and friendly service.  That tradition continues today here at the SL Playboy Mansion.  If you have any questions, comments, or requests, please contact one of our Bunnies and they will be happy to assist you.  Our Bunnies are also available to make appearances at other venues for grand openings, charitable events or other special occasions.*


Public Access Membership
    Most SL Playboy Mansion events and venues are open to the public.  Our dance parties, our pool party, and many of our concerts are open to all.  By clicking one of the group kiosks, you can join the SL Playboy Mansion group to be kept informed of daily events.


Key Membership (Now accepting members)
     For the discerning guest, we offer our Key Membership. Keyholders earn our special VIP treatment.  In addition to the friendly service all patrons enjoy, Keyholders will receive exclusive access to the new Grotto (see above), their own private welcome party, a Playboy motorcycle as well as notices and invitations to private parties and special events at the Mansion, with Bunnies in attendance of course.  All of this for only 1000L annually.  This special group is only available by contacting a member of the Management Team.


Steele Plaza Shopping District
     The Steele Plaza Shopping District is connected to the SL Playboy Mansion grounds by numerous teleport pads so it is easily accessible to all patrons of the Mansion.  Steele Plaza has 16 single vendor spaces and 4 double size vendor spaces.  Steele Plaza is a very open complex with no hard-to-reach areas.  Now open is the Steele Plaza Bistro.  A quaint, quiet, comfy bistro just off the Plaza.  Offering an array of tasty treats, it is a great place for customers to hang out as they check out their recent purchases or contemplate new ones.


     As you can see, we have many exciting things happening at SL Playboy World and we can't wait to share them with you.  Please come in, put on your smoking jacket and let us light your pipe.  We look forward to serving you.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Here's What's Happening Today in Second Life:




Cinco de Mayo ( May 5th) is not a federal  holiday in Mexico or the United States. However, it is still celebrated. This day commemorates the Battle of Puebla in which the Mexican army claimed victory over France during the Franco-Mexican War in 1862. In the United States and Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican Heritage with parades, festivals, traditional music and food. For others it is just another reason to get their drink on! (Even if it lands on a Thursday this year)
In Second Life, there are a few events happening but don’t forget to dress up first!


Mustache & Sombrero


La Fiesta Women Outfit



La Fiesta Mens Outfit


Festivities Happening May 5th


7:00 am  SLT  at Cinca de Mayo Day at La Maison
Get your drinking hats on Gents, the girls of La Maison are in a partying mood...
Loose clothing (aka easy offs) and looser morals are in style all day...
The Exclusive Lap Seats are out and the ladies are eager to warm as many laps as they can today in celebration of all things Mexican..So no Siesta all Fiesta...
The VIP lounge is open to haul your favorite or favorites in for a more intimate fun time..

4:00pm SLT at River's Song Restaurant and Catering
On May 5, 1862, the Mexican army defeated the French army at the Battle of Puebla. This single military battle signified defeat of a European colonial power, and a victory for the Mexican people. This single battle was the roots of Cinco de Mayo.
What Cinco de Mayo has come to be, is much more than one battle in the colonial history of Mexico. Rather, it has come to signify Hispanic and Mexican pride and a time to celebrate the rich culture.



7pm SLT Cinco de Mayo at Club Eros with DJ Eco Spiritor
It's festival time!!   Wear your Spanish style dress, grab your sombrero and come party!! DJ Eco Spiritor will be spinning the tunes and taking requests.  Dress in theme and enter our contest or just come for the friends and music.  As always, our Sexy Cupids will be here to tease and tantalize you. 

Wherever or however you celebrate just remember to have fun! Happy Cinco de Mayo

Account Security: What precautions can you take to prevent phishing in Second Life? - Joymell Reporting...



On the Internet there are many scammers who practice "phishing": These people use different methods, for example, they create fake emails and websites that resemble those of a legitimate company to get information from people in an illegal way.

Residents of Second Life can also be targeted for phishing attempts. These attempts may include, in the virtual world, instant messaging and e-mails that try to appear as if they were sent from Linden Lab and also messages in group chat, providing a link and / or requesting personal information and credentials of account users.

Many innocent people can be deceived and become victims to provide personal information such as passwords, credit card information, etc. People who access and provide information to these forms and fake websites can quickly become identity theft victims. These victims may have their information deleted in the virtual world and the account blocked or closed by Linden Lab.

With a few simple precautions, however, it is possible to protect yourself from phishing attempts.

- Keep your antivirus software up-to-date and virus scan regularly;
                                                                                                                        
- Your password should contain letters and symbols to hinder access to phishers;

- To make your account safe, change your password frequently. If you suspect you have clicked on a phishing link, change your password immediately;

- Never click a link in an email that you are unsure about, especially if it is asking for personal or account information. If you suspect is suspicious email, forward it to phishing@secondlife.com and delete it.

- Suspicious e-mails that ask for personal information are fake emails. Those will ask for your personally identifiable information such as your login name, password, and real name, among others. Be aware that any email that asks for personal information, or includes a form to fill in the email, it is very likely to be a fake email;

- Never trust an email just because it says it is secondlife.com or lindenlab.com. The Linden Lab E-mails do not include attachments. Attachments can be malicious files that cannot be captured by virus detection programs. Finally, please note that Linden Lab never asks for your password Second Life, the details of the credit card or other personal information by e-mail;

- If you receive any email from Linden Lab and have any doubts about whether this email is real, close all Web browser windows. Visit http://secondlife.com, and perform the action that was requested, starting this window new web browser.

Even after taking all these precautions, you still feel that your account has been compromised, contact Second Life Billing through the Support Portal immediately or call the number provided on the same Portal.

Hope Haven Heroes Presents Visions of Hope 2016 Silent Auction- April 30th-May 30th



Visions of Hope 2016: silent auction in benefit of Relay For Life of SL

This event opened on Saturday, April 30th with a party led by DJ Cupric Router at 4PM SLT. After the great success of the 2015 edition, with photographs by a number of well-known artists in SL, this year the exhibition organized for the Hope Have Heroes RFL Team brings also some sculptures and gathers the following artists: Bijou, Boudicca Amat, Ciottolina Xue, d-oo-b, Dru G. Eiren-Milneaux, Em Larsson, Hills, Inara Pey, Mareea Farrasco, Nikolai Warden, Proph, Pusher, Randy Firebrand, Ricco Saenz, Tomais Ashdene, Trinity Yazimoto and Ziki Questi.

The silent auction is intended to raise funds for Relay For Life, a global initiative by American Cancer Society aimed at gathering donations to fight against cancer, as well as providing "a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer" and "remember loved ones lost", as the ACS webpage says. During the exhibition, the public will be able to acquire photo-based pieces as well as sculptures from some of the most renowned artists in Second Life and, at the same time, contribute with the ACS's programs to improve cancer survival, decrease the incidence of cancer and improve the quality of life for cancer patients and their caretakers. It should be noticed, too, that the actions by ACS are not restricted to the United States: lately, the Society has been contributing with initiatives to fight cancer around the world.

The art exhibition goes from April 30 until May 30. The minimum bid is just L$ 500 and the amounts can be increased by at least L$ 100 each time. At the end of May, we will learn who acquired what.
