GeekSpeak SL – black swan events. Saturday January 14th at 12pm SLT



For thousands of years people thought that all swans were white.  Then that was changed forever when the first black swan was observed.

Black swan events are unpredicted and unexpected yet have an enormous impact on the world.  Is the history of the world and human society determined mainly by the ordinary and the predictable or is it determined by the outliers, the random and unpredictable events, the black swans.

Wars, the rise of religions, human inventions, changes in human thought; all can be seen as a succession of black swans.  What black swans do you see in history?  And what black swans do you expect in the future?

Does it frighten you to think that the future is unknown and uncontrolled?  Or do you see the theory of black swans as a good explanation for what happens in the world?
Come and predict the unpredictable at GeekSpeak.

OS Metaverse: The Encore Escape is having its Grand Opening Kickoff tonight January 12th at 5pm SLT



The Encore Escape is having its Grand Opening all month, celebrating the arrival of veteran and accomplished entertainment venues and management on the OS metaverse. Potlatch Foggarty, Bellaby Ballyhoo, along with Rocky & Shannon Hillburton have spent six months building and beta testing their 81 region var on the OS. The newest grid on the OSis home to  Encore Entertainment Estate, which features four Live Music Venues, each one unique and catering to a specific genre. The estate is a result of the latest OS var technology, and is the size of 81 standard sims, with one large difference, there are no sim lines.

This means visitors can sail boats and fly airplane & helicopters across 81 regions with no interruption or sim crossings. They can also rezz a car and travel on (the appropriately named) Interstate 81 and exit at any of the aforementioned venues or other attractions including a 50’s drive-theater.

The Encore Escape also boasts that any region owner can order a free .oar file, which will give them a complete copy of their sim in its entirety, which they can take to any other OS grid and upload. Their attitude is simple, your content should belong to you. The .oar file cannot be used to take content you do not own or create of course, but large time consuming builds can easily be kept on your hard drive where they belong.

The Law Of Attraction and Living Happy by Psychic Medium Linda Lauren

Being happy should be our first priority in life. I have found that when I am happy, all other things around me fall more into place. I believe we can attract more of what we want in our lives by being happy and positive than by being angry and maudlin. The Law of Attraction tells us that what you focus on, you will attract to you. That is something to empower ourselves with! It means we actually have control as to how things play out for us.


In these high emotional times of politics and issues, it is more important than ever to emphasize what we want and not on what does not really serve us. It all really starts with our daily intentions. According to this universal law, your experiences in life are created and propelled by the thoughts you have. So it is important not to invite into your life the kind of thoughts that defeat that purpose. Here are some ways to help keep attracting to you the things that will enhance your life.

Trust your intuition rather than your emotions when it comes to decision-making to guarantee results that might better suit you.

Lending your attention on thinking about what you want may make them happen more quickly.
Envision things as you want them to be, rather than as they are right now.
Don’t watch TV shows that are negative as to crime or illness, and read and see the local and world news only regarding what you need to know.
Don’t forget to dream, as dreams can guide your intentions.
These suggestions are not foolproof, but I have known them to work for me, as well as my clients and friends I’ve shared with. Switch your thinking to the Law of Attraction and experience and see the difference for yourself. It may not be easy at first because we already have predisposed thinking, but over time, you may be quite surprised at how much more positive life is by attracting what you want as a first priority.

Psychic Medium Linda Lauren can be found hanging out in her Angel Retreat or Meditation Gardens on her Island ETU ABBRACCIARE

We found this -- now what do we DO with it? --- "Right -- Edit and POST IT".......said Lanai, our fearless leader.



The worst New Year Resolutions Ever – SL Anonymous
Every year people insist on coming up with new year resolutions that get shelved for the following year just to fit in with other morons who have goals they never accomplish. Let’s start from the top.
  1. Lose Weight
Ok unless your doctor tells you that they will need to transport you to a truck yard to get your true cargo weight, you are borderline diabetic, full blown diabetic, or a heart attack waiting to happen… don’t bother putting this on your to do list.
Ladies if you are trying to fit in with all those airbrushed celebrities on the cover of magazines, Here is a simpler solution to achieving your goal. 1. take a pic and photoshop the hell out of it or raise your  selfie stick way up in the air and do an aerial shot to avoid any evidence of a double chin, run it through a couple PS filters and booom! Instant beauty queen for your profile pic.
Guys, if you are a little round in the middle move your selfie stick up above your sternum if you can find it and tilt the camera to catch a glimpse of a chiseled jawline, crack a smile and snap, or you can sift through old high school varsity photos and pass it off as recent OR just use someone else’s photo, just make sure it's not a celebrity. You want to at least be believable. Most people in Second Life believe a photo even if your voice sounds like you smoke 50 packs a day with bronchitis.
  1. Make More Money
You can do this in a variety of ways without actually leaving your low paying job or the comfort of your couch on public assistance. If you are bleeding the government, simply have one child per year for a raise. Use whatever is left after buying your alcohol and cigarettes on tiers for a bigger parcel and some super kick ass mesh gear!
  1. Break up with your gold digging significant other, time it right around the holidays and save a few bucks.
  2. Move back in with your parents or random family members who won't notice you there.
  3. Find the best ramen soup recipes on the internet. You could totally eat like a king on a 45 cent daily budget.
  4. Start up your own webcam porno. Hey….there is something freaky for everyone, charge extra to smear yourself with condiments. Just don’t buy them. You can totally get them for free at your local Mcdonald's.


  1. Apologize to the people you upset
That doesn’t go for all the people you pissed off in 2016, give them an advance apologize and go on being a total douche for 2017. Nothing is more satisfying them being your shameless self until someone knocks you out and you find Jesus.
  1. Quit Smoking
Do away with cigarettes. Those are old school. Get a vape, fill it with marijuana and kick the nicotine. If it is crack you smoke… yea maybe switch back to bumming cigarettes from random smokers until you’ve exhausted everyone’s  generosity. But really this one usually doesn’t happen until you die a terrible death from lung, throat and mouth cancer. Stick it out until then, you mobile chimney.
  1. Get Organized
Listen here, if this wasn’t acquired at a young age when your momma told you to do chores and keep your room clean then you are one hot mess. Who are you kidding. Just kick all the trash you have laying around your house into the nearest closet and spray some Febreeze.  You are only fooling yourself and maybe you just need a well needed, long time coming ass whooping from an organized person who gets anxiety standing in your mess.
  1. Be Happy.
Well you don’t need much for little spurts of happiness if you follow this plan step by step.
Go to the local gas station, buy a lighter and some EZ widers. Visit your local ghetto, approach a thug who smells like pot, wave 10 bucks, do an illegal drug exchange and go find the nearest dumpster to stand behind and smoke a nice joint.**


So....in Summary -----



These are prolly the WORST ways to go into 2017 --- but nowhere will you find more honesty in reporting and opinion that what ends up on the cutting floor of the SL Enquirer.


From the owners and staff of www.slenquirer.com we want to wish you and yours the BEST in 2017 and beyond.
Set out your plan -- see it through and say hi to us out in the grid, we’d love to hear from you.
--- Menacier Fiertze for Lanai Jarrico - SL Enquirer -- taking a long hard toke…….ahhhhhhh

 Silver and gold is one of the biggest trends this season. These metallics are perfect for  brightening up the sober looks of the season. Long coats, bodies, boots, skirts, etc. It definietly brinsg on the bling with the application of lurex and sequins.



COATS
 Coats are a must to combat the cold.  It you don’t want all the padding and bulk, a nice knit sweater works too!  arrive at parties in the cropped and maxi models, showing that the classical trend of the season can also be refined. In addition to these items, dresses and knit skirts are also great choices for that warm and cozy look.


STRIPES AND PLAID
Other trends that are popular this season are stripes and plaid. Those patterns will continue to be featured in winter.  If you like this style. You will find skirts, blouses, pants and dresses to add to your wardrobe.



BLACK CLASSIC OR GOTHIC CHIC
The total black look can be sleek, sexy and worn in many occassions.  Accessories give all black that extra kick needed to create your own personal goth or classic look.
Take your gothic outfits out of the closet and use and abuse of the black color. Black is the main color in this trend!


LINGERIE
It is very common for  avatars to be spotted with underwear showing.For example,  in the bars, clubs and adult hangouts where clothing is optional.  Believe it or not, lingerie is trendy any time of year. We're going to see sensual laces and bras made to be displayed. From the vintage and classic to the contemporary- Silk, satin , lace and velvet in pajamas, robes, tops and kimonos. A nice pair of heels for the ladies or some body art for the men, really add to the sexiness.

PUT A SCARF ON IT
 This season just like every year, scarves are an essential accessory. Enjoy this little charm to brighten your winter look. Just make sure it works with the rest of your winter ensamble.


BET ON THE HATS
 Hats are a trend in the winter fashion and they are part of the favorite accessories of several men and women. It can be a tricky accessory for woman when using hairstyle that seem to poke through the seems.  What better excuse is there to shop for hair that works with a hat!


BOOTS
Who doesn’t like a good pair of boots. This is one of the strongest trends of the year for men and women.  Here are the models that we selected for you.  Whether they are thigh highs, mid calves or ankle  boots- there is definietly a pair in second life perfect for the ladies! Guys, there are great boots for you too!
