It's Wootstock tinies style. 2 days of waffles and music. Raglan Winter Wood... er, Wootstock.

You should PLEASE consider this stuff: 1). Contrary to what most people outside second life think, there is more to SL than just SEX. Second Life (SL) child avatars ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER IN REAL LIFE - this is ROLEPLAYING childhood and it's sooo much fun! You get to be silly all the time! You can get adopted & hang out with other kids & go to school & whatever else you can dream up! If you're new to being a kid (or teen!) here's what's up - YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING SEXUALLY-RELATED WHATSOEVER. If you want to be a kid AND an adult then make 2 avatar accounts. Just do it. If a child avatar is seen around things like sexual furniture, photos, naked people, etc. - ANYTHING you can think of that's of a sexual nature - Linden Labs can and will delete your account and could even ban your COMPUTER from logging into Second Life. There will be no questions asked - you get caught like that and you're gone - as the Terms of Service for Second Life s...

There is a recently discovered exploit within Emerald that can quite literally allow someone with an appropriately equipped client to strip your entire inventory. Egregiously bad flaw, kids... wait until Modular sorts this one out. Gee, I wish I knew about this before it happened to me. I had problems with my account night before last with my inventory not loading. Don't know how it happened, but it did. --------------------------------EDIT-------------------- Since this post, it happened to me on my main account. The creator(s) of Emerald has since posted a update to their viewer. You will have to download and install this update to continue your fun.

***NCI Spam Central*** *****NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT GROUP***** ***URL: secondlife:///app/group/e8a029bf-a974-e521-9437-6cd72bf96bad/about ======================================== ***Definition of the internet meme/term "Spam": Spam is the abuse of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast mediums, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, Online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, and file sharing network spam.

On behalf of supporters of Childrens In Crisis, it is my pleasure as this year's host, to invite you to join us and celebrate in Memory of Wollas Beaumont the 1st Annual Children in Crisis 24hr RockAbout Benefit. Starting December 12th at 6pm slt and ending December 13th at 6pm slt a lineup of 10Dj's ( hope it come some more) (confirmed so far) will rock your world with hourly contests and with great gifts. ------------------------------------------ Wollas Beaumont was a dear SL friend of mine who died and she was devoted to the Children in Crisis Organization. As a result her family and I have decided to keep Wollas Original gesture shop in Second Life open, donating all money earned from the shop and all the tips to her favorite charity "Children in Crisis" - a humanitarian association which helps children. Additionally we have decided to put this huge party together in her memory and gather donations to be sent in her name to her favorite charity. http://www....

1. Lindens have X-Ray vision This is untrue. Their ability to see you naked has nothing to do with X-Rays. 2. There are only ten Lindens and they rotate through many accounts to make it seem like there are more. This is untrue. There are over 50 Lindens who cycle through many accounts to make it seem like there are more. 3. Lindens have the ability to turn your avatar into a fish. This is untrue. Lindens abilities to turn people into other forms of life is limited to changing you to a toad. 4. Lindens put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. In 2005 this became a myth when FeeFieFoeFanna Linden perfected the first dual legged virtual trouser fitting device (using only four prims!). In 2007 it became a complete impossibility when the official uniform Linden dresscode mandated a nice plaid kilt or skirt. 5. All new Lindens traditionally make a bear to give SL citizens as tokens of goodwill. The real purpose of the bear making tradition is to ...

A Guide to Anime Emoticons And why they're getting popular By Sohan D'souza At the dawn of the internet era, BBS-users discovered that the lack of face-to-face communication resulted in conflict when, for example, parodies or humorous comments were taken seriously. Even telephone users could use voice tone to indicate anger, sarcasm or humor. As such, they needed to find a way to express the tone of the messages they were posting. No need to go into how exactly it happened, but the first emoticons were a godsend, and prevented many an awkward, confusing or flammable situation. Over the years, with the evolution of the BBS into the Internet, and then the explosion of online websites, forums and chat interfaces, the proto-emoticon regularly evolved into a myriad sets, mostly unique to their hosts, and even developed into codes that were translated by the communication engine into images and sometimes even animations. As the environment molds evolving lifeforms to its demands, ...

Marlon8000 Hastings plays guitar at the Raglan Shire Talent Show. What's my talent? I donno, it'll be something to work on for next year.

Seems like it. I feel like they are taking a part of our fun away. [12:29] Loretta Lurra: Open note to any Lindens that monitor this communication channel: I have been in SL for over three years and a Mentor for a fairly long period of time. I own 40 sims and pay Linden over $6,000 per month for them. During my time in Sl i have witnessed a successive chain of horrible decisions by the SL executive team. Some of which are not simply bad business decisions - but totally inexplicable from logical analysis; however, with your decision to end the Mentor program you have simply outdone yourselves. You take 3500 or so people who are committed to helping others - and throw that talent, expertise, and experience out the window. What in the world is wrong with you people? Are you simply idiots as some say? You claim that the Mentor program is simply too large to administer: well, get a clue. Reduce the number of Mentors to a managable level. Take the best of the best ( Admittedly I am not one o...

I just recived word that the Lindens will charge content creators (our) money or a fee for listing on Xstreet. I took all my stuff down from it. https://blogs.secondlife.com/thread/4902 The Blog link: https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/commerce/blog/2009/11/18/roadmap--managing-freebies-on-xstreet-sl The Forum response so you can put your say in: https://blogs.secondlife.com/thread/4902 Basicly it's like this: LL are going to introduce some charges: * 99L per month for freebie listings * They are charging a MINIMUM 3 lindens surcharge on all items sold for 1 linden or more * 10L per item per month for anything over $1L For example: if you have 10 items on there, you will now have to pay $1200L per year to have them on SLX or if you have 100 items, thats $12,000L per year And freebies don't get listed in search or anything All I have to say is Content creators and website builders, come to gether and create your own sites to sell stuff. I'm sure there will be oth...

Loki Eliot's Burning Life build.

Burning Life at the DJ Eve show. I liked his dance, I'll have to ask him sometime where he got it.

Tinies and kids in Marianne McCann's ball pit at her Burning Life build.

It's Shocktober at Raglan. This month we have classes on Halloween decorations, parties, movies, a swamp with vendors all around, a haunted house, a haunted carnival and freak show.

Burning Life is up and running and the JLU has a build there. I had plans to put a build in but rl stuff came up. In the mean time, check out Burning Life and come see the JLU build. JLU Burning Life build

There was a formal dance last night that I had missed. However, I did make it there in time to make a donation. The dance was hosted by the JLU (Justice League Unlimited) and was set in the Big Band Era. Fancy dresses, suits and tuxedos. Today I had received these: I wanted to take time to thank the wonderful and very creative people who hosted yesterday's fundraising event in Second Life. I saw the images on the Krypton Radio site and it looked like you all captured the essence of that era so perfectly! In representing the families of the missing, it is important that you know how much these efforts mean to all of us. We're not a "popular" cause, and the majority of the general public doesn't know about the crisis going on behind the scenes, and of the difficulties faced by the families we serve. When we're given help, it helps us know people care, and gives us that boost to keep going one more day, to keep searching, and to never give up, no matter what ...

The Green Lantern Movie is a go, will star Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern. So, all you Deadpool fanboys will have to wait.....

Now I won't say what the Great Clowey Greenwood had told me, but it'll be very silly.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/dAlliez%20Land%20Headquarters/108/148/25 The owners of this sim took the time and effort to put up a memorial for the people who lost their lives on 911. Someone had said: "Well, wanting to is something that everyone does... sacrificing their time and energy to make it happen, that is special." No notecards of freebies. I'm sure if you ask them, they'll let you leave a candle or rose or something.

I blogged this sim this past July. There isn't any notecards for this place, when you first tp to the sim, look around for the sign that will tp you to the Twin Towers.

I moved my store just down the sidewalk to a bigger place. I hope to have more stuff out soon. I did put a section up for tinies. and the land behind it will have something, just don't know what yet.

No, SL isn't ending, but the real world might just be. Disney buys Marvel Comics Wed Sep 02 2009 07:23 AM Many of you might have seen it in the papers, many likely did not. Yesterday Disney announced it is buying marvel comics. You might have noticed there is no SL Disney here., nor are disney characters readily available. That is because Disney is famous for protecting it's owned copyright and tradmarked characters through lawsuits. I just wanted to make sure people here playing an selling marvel avatars are aware of the possibility that there may be problems soon. Say it ain't so bub.
