Visit the Virtual Grand Canyon. It has Similarities to the Real Famous Landmark- Nena Dreadlow Reporting

Have you ever wanted to go to the real Grand Canyon but never
had the chance? There is a whole sim in second life that offers a virtually
real experience. I visited this landmark
and I must say that it does resemble the real life one in more ways than one.
Named
an official park in 1919, The Real Life Grand Canyon is located in Arizona and
is a steep sided canyon carved by the Colorado river. This natural formation is 277 miles long and
up to 18 miles wide.
The Skywalk at the real location is managed by the Hualapai
Tribe. It has a horseshoe shaped steel frame with glass floors and is 70 feet
high. You can get a wonderful panoramic view of the canyon from this platform.
I visited the SL skywalk as it would not be something I would
not do in real life due to being afraid of heights. The virtual skywalk is also
shaped like a horseshoe, made of prim glass and very high up. It was nice
observing the landscape from that height without being afraid.
Some of the activities offered in the Real life Grand Canyon
are zip lining which takes you across at about 30 mph. It takes about 20 minutes from start to
finish. I thought I would try this in Second Life. It was a fast trip down to
the bottom of the canyon. Still fun!
A popular activity at the Real life Grand Canyon is helicopter
Tours. There are many options with different types of helicopters. You can take
a tour from Las Vegas. I was happy to find a helicopter that I could ride
around the sl sim. It was great to be able to look around and see everything
from a bird’s eye view.
Another Activity is river rafting! Something I have never done
but have always wanted to. At the Grand Canyon you can raft down the Colorado
River to Diamond Creek or even Lake Meed. The trips can last from 2 to 5 days
in the real world but in the Second Life you can take a quick relaxing trip
down the river and not even get wet.
History is a big part of our cultural because it allows us a
peek back in time. It helps us
understand the world we live in, how things can change but also remind us of
our past and how the world was shaped. I was glad to see that the SL Grand Canyon
made sure to mention some things that happened in the real one. It is both adventurous and educational.
In June 30 1956 the grand canyon was the site of the deadliest
commercial aviation disasters in history. Two planes - A TWA and United
Airlines collided above the canyon. Both planes fell into the eastern portion
of the canyon near the Colorado River.
The location of the crash has been designated a National
Historic Landmark. In Second life, The creators of the virtual Grand Canyon made sure to include this piece of history.
The Pueblo People were thought to live in the Grand Canyon over
1000 years ago. There are six major tribes; the Havasupai, Zuni, Hopi, Paiute,
Navajo and the Hualapai. The Native American Indians are a big part of the
history at the canyon. The Havasupai Indian Reservation is opened to the public
to visit that part of the canyon. Havasupai
means people of the blue-green waters. The replica in Second Life shows how they would of lived back then.
I love the fact that there are not only a lot of activities to
do here. From hiking and taking a plane ride to taking tours or checking out
the canyon from an observation deck. But
there are also things that you couldn’t do in RL like flying with your avatar
through all the ridges and valleys to dancing under the stars with that special
someone. They even have clubs and lots of shopping here.
As you can see there are
so many similarities to the Real life Grand Canyon. What makes Second Life so
unique it seeing things you would not normally see.

IrishGent's relentless negotiations with Linden Labs has paid off in the form of an additional 13 sims of open water.
The sims will start going live during the course of next week.
The proposed use for these sims is sailing, aviation, and battle roleplay. All things being equal it is possible that additional sims will be added to the initial 13 towards the end of the year, bringing the total to 30 additional open water sims.
More info with regard to administering the use of the water will be available in due course.

Sweetheart's Pageant Winner is........ BroadwayGirl1 Resident!

Competition, culture, fashion, Ms Sweethearts Pageant, pageant, rere sandalwood, second life, The SL Enquirer
No comments
The SL Enquirer has actively been following the Ms.
Sweethearts Pageant, and recently found out that the new Ms. Sweetheart for
2015 is BroadwayGirl1 Resident!
The competition was held at 10 am SLT on Saturday, March
14, 2015 at the Sweethearts Jazz Social Club amidst a delicately decorated
stage and runway. At the base of the
runway, were the following three judges:
Koko Mapiya, CEO of Regal ♛ Academy ◦ Agency ◦ Boutiques
◦ Magazine; his wife EibhlÃne, who is
the acting Owner and Founder of Regal ♛ Academy ◦ Agency ◦ Boutiques ◦ Magazine; and Mami Jewell, Founder and
Designer of -AZUL- Fashions. Though
Nikki Mathison acted as the fourth judge, she had to leave the Pageant due to a
prior RL obligation.
In addition to preparing the finalists for the pageant
prior to the competition, these three judges were a responsible for posing
questions to them, as well as ultimately judging the finalists in the following
areas: Intelligence, Maturity, Humbleness, Avatar Beauty, Gracefulness,
Personality, and their ability to answer questions when asked.
In addition to being poised and elegantly dressed in a
regal black and white ballroom gown, Sweethearts Owner Shannon Bramlington
acted as primary announcer and Facilitator of the pageant. Prior to informing the audience that fifth
finalist LadyRoseCherry Serenity was unable to participate due to preexisting
RL obligations, Bramlington encouraged audience members to be polite to the
judges, finalists, and others involved in the pageant by stating, “We do prefer
for you NOT to send ANY IM's to ANY of our judges, Finalists, or to Blake or
[myself] so that we all can keep our focus on the task at hand.”
The
Task At Hand: Crowning Ms. Sweetheart
Finalist BroadwayGirl1 Resident
When asked by pageant judge Eibhline what the best and
worst parts of Sweethearts Jazz Club were and why, BroadwayGirl1 Resident
explains, “The best part of the Sweethearts Jazz Club is the warm welcome that
you are given by the hostesses, friends and the owners. They make you feel like
you belong. I can honestly say that there is nothing worse having directly to
do with the club, other than the personality clashes among its members. When
you think about it, we all have different personalities and it would be
impossible not to have an occasional conflict…”
Occasional conflicts aside, the judges involved came
together in their decision to crown BroadwayGirl1 Resident Ms. Sweetheart 2015.
As such BroadwayGirl1 Resident will act as an Ambassador for Sweethearts. As an ambassador, BroadwayGirl1 Resident will
be highly involved in Sweethearts related charity events; these events will,
among other things, benefit individuals who suffer from Alzheimer’s Dementia,
as well as benefit other nonprofit organizations like Creations for
Parkinson’s.
Now that BroadwayGirl1 has been crowned Ms. Sweethearts
2015, she has an assortment of plans as to how she will spend her $100,000L
prize. She states, “To enjoy my prize, I
would be saving it and not spending it all at once. I would be saving some for
my wedding, and I would be frugal with the prize and perhaps give some of the
prize to charity.”
With that being said, we at the SL Enquirer want to
extend a warm congratulations to not only Ms. Sweetheart’s crown winner
BroadwayGirl1 Resident, but would like to commend all the finalists who
participated in the pageant.

AVIE POLL: How are Avies Observing St. Patrick's Day? Bimala Tagore Reporting
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
Avie Poll, Bimala Tagore, culture, holiday, second life, St. Patrick's Day, st. patty's day, The SL Enquirer
No comments
The color green seems to be
taking over Second Life. Sims, venues, parks and stores are decorated with the
traditional colors of St. Patrick’s Day.
A failure to wear green to an Irish venue on this holiday might be punished
with a playful pinch from brave Irish hostess committed to this day.
“ST. Patrick´s day” is a special time. It isn’t
just a one day celebration in SL; here, it’s turned it into weeks of carnivals,
sales, parties, Irish music and Celtic
environments that envelope venues across the grid with a mystical aura.
This is an
important cultural and religious holiday named in honor of Patron saint of
Ireland called by the name of San Patricio. St Patrick’s Day is celebrated in
many parts of the world, particularly by Irish communities. People usually dressed
in green or wear iconic decorations such as the “shamrock”; it is the leaf of
the clover plant and a symbol of the Holy Trinity. Other people carry the flag
of the Republic of Ireland, other use snakes and serpents around their necks,
as well as the Celtic cross.
We are
confident that you will enjoy flying this wing and that you will soon discover
the meaning of this green day. Patrick´s
day is a festive event, where the children enjoy sweets and adults can lose themselves
in a cold “pint”.
Many venues
on the grid share in the festivities with restaurants and pubs. They offer
virtual Irish food which include: “Irish brown bread”, “cabbage”, “Irish
coffee”, “Irish stew”, “Irish potato soup”, “among other traditional foods”. It is apparent Second Life is living up to this day.
The SL
Enquirer wondered how residents celebrate St Patrick’s Day.
Here are
their valuable testimonials.
Teer
Latzo shares stories about running around with his granddad when he was a kid
"I
have only once really celebrated St. Patrick's Day, and that was with a friend
in Chicago. We were just in the right place at the right time and the
festivities were huge, we did our best Irish jig for a bowl of soup. That was
the only time I have been in actual celebration mode, my grandfather is Irish/Scottish
and he used to celebrate every year with a wonderful Irish hang over, green and
everything. Now our big day is sitting back with a green beer and eating corn
beef and cabbage, it’s a simple pleasure and it works for us."
No
matter if it is not part of our own culture.
This holiday it is an opportunity to share with the international
community.
Here
is Soffy´s (Soffly Ponyluver) and Mr. Lyle views:
Soffly: “I’m
not religious and don’t hold to the traditional church stories about St Patrick
and I’m not Irish so it doesn't have a cultural background for me. For me St Patrick's Day is a friendly focus
point where people can get together and forget their day to day problems and
worries. I'm just not crazy about green
beer - I'll stay with red wine”
Lyle
Lindman: “This celebration is a symbol and a way to connect and to cherish those
values together and an uplifting way to cherish our tender humanity together.”
I
was lucky enough to come across Ophelia Willful a learn how she observes St.
Patrick’s Day.
“On these
days I love that I can party with my friends. I dry “stouts” accompaniment for
corned beef. These days are moments for the memories with my Irish friends.
When we usually went to my grandparent's house. It was the point of convergence
for all the senses. They were times to remember that time in our lives does not
pass for nothing”.
Coffee
(Moani Namori) supports “Patrick’s day” events at “Pointe Fusion” and it gets
better brand exposure from important festival in SL that go
for several days. She notes,
“We fully understand how important
is conserve the actual spirit of unit on these days doing special Irish pubs
background on SL”
Valeria
Ansia, Kissing Boot tell us:
“When i
was kid i used to get into
town to the Parade with my sister fighting for the best good view. We loved the whole day all the big floats and
bands from America. Here in SL I love Irish hunt Patrick shamrock outfit and
enjoying traditional Irish dance with my best Irish dj Aragain. Easterwood. She
is an “Irish Women”, resolute and strong!
DJ
Aragain. Easterwood is a DJ in Second Life, a professional fiddle player and
also Saint Patrick´s devotee. Here are
her special words:
“St. Patrick guard you wherever you go, and guide you
in whatever you do, and may his loving protection be a blessing to you”, tell
us inspiring.
If
you are in SL on St. Patrick’s Day you can't miss this time. Fun events will
take place around the grid and you can’t miss this cheerful atmosphere. You can
ride on flying gold coin, dance the jig with your friends, drink green beer and
listen to Irish music.
The
most colorful party is waiting for you this month, so follow the rainbow to St.
Patrick's Day Town.

The Story of St. Patrick’s Day and How it is Celebrated Today- Lanai Jarrico Reporting...

culture, holiday, irish, real life, second life, St Patrick's Day, st. patty's day, The SL Enquirer
No comments
St Patrick’s Day is an Irish Holiday celebrating the
patron saint, Apostle of Ireland and missionary among the Celtic pagans. St.
Patrick is said to be responsible for chasing all of the snakes out of Ireland. According
to studies, there were probably no snakes on the island in the first
place because it was separated from the continent at the end of the last ice
age. The idea that St. Patrick drove the serpents out of Ireland is symbolic in
reference to putting an end to Pagan practices by introducing Christianity.
He wasn’t the first to bring Christianity to Ireland but
he is credited for abolishing Pagan rites when he encountered the Druids and
converted the warrior chiefs and Princes. He also baptized thousands of followers in Holy
wells.
The date March 17th marks St. Patrick's death in 460
A.D.
You may be wondering how the shamrock became such an
iconic part of St. Patrick’s day. Well, as the story goes, Saint Patrick used
it as a way to explain the holy trinity to the Pagans.
Today, St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated with shamrocks as the iconic symbol.
The colors green and gold are associated with this holiday and symbolize good luck. In
Irish faerie folklore, the Leprechaun is also a popular figure associated with
St. Patrick’s Day. They are described as
devious and smart little creatures and if you catch one you are considered the
luckiest person alive. It is said that every Leprechaun has a pot of gold
buried deep within the Irish countryside and if you catch one the gold is your
prize. But they can bring you more trouble than it is worth.
Irish Immigrants are responsible for bringing St.
Patrick’s Day to the US where it was first publicly celebrated in Boston,
Massachusetts in 1737. In 1756, it was first celebrated in New York City at the
Crown and Thistle Tavern. Today it is widely celebrated in the United States by
both Irish and Non-Irish people and is associated with wearing green, parties,
parades, pub crawls and drinking alcohol… lots of it. In Second Life it is observed with decorations, hunts and
parties.
If you Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, drink responsible, be
safe, have fun and good luck with that hangover!

AVIE POLL: WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST ISSUES FOR AVIES IN SL?- Sunny Love Holiday Reporting…
Wednesday, March 11, 2015
Avie Poll, culture, issues, second life, solutions, Sunny Love Holiday, The SL Enquirer
No comments
The virtual world of Second life is loved and revered by
many. It provides an escape from the everyday hustle and bustle of real life.
Allowing people to be free to be themselves, explore fantasies, or to become
their alter ego. With something that brings so much joy, there are always
issues one much endures to enjoy such wonderful things. I decided to poll avies
from all walks of life to see what people thought were the most troubling
issues that plagues avies across the grid, and what they think would be the
best possible solution to the problem.
Spirit Wingtips, owner of Espiritu Photography
SLE: What do you think are the Biggest Issues for Avies in SL?
Spirit Wingtips: LAG the age old problem of lag and the HUGELY disproportionate
LACK of men’s clothing and items as compared to women’s. Us men like to shop
and like to have choices too. Designers need to stop being lazy and bias. Support
us men !
SLE: What do you think would be a proper solution to these
problems?
Spirit Wingtips: Linden Labs and the entire SL community
getting up and proactively doing something to help combat the issue of
lag. Also, Incorporate Education
programs so people know the REAL cause of LAG and what to do about it. That
would be a start.
As for
designers in SL, they need to realize that us men want and need options as
well. we are more than jeans and a tee shirt, we want QUALITY items and well
designed items as well and not half
hearted effort prefabs "just to say we carry men’s items". This is
not to say all designers do this but if you teleport around to most events and
shops they have 90% women’s clothing.
Oriana Robertson, Interior Blogger extraordinaire
SLE: What do you think are the Biggest Issues for Avies in SL?
Oriana Robertson: The biggest
issues that I believe are facing Second Life are the lack of positive
interactive activities. Granted, the major draw to second life (or as it was
promoted in the beginning) is that everything that exist in-world is created by
its residents. Still, there are not enough events and things to do on the grid
that will encourage the residents to get creative, help one another, and
generate positive social interactions. As a result, second life is full of
people who are bored, lonely, and in need of attention so they turn to negative
ways to fill that void.
SLE: What do you think would be a proper solution to these
problems?
Oriana Robertson: A possible
solution would be for the Lindens to create better incentives for people who
are hosting events that will bring residents together; especially activities
that will help those who are having trouble finding their way or
"niche" within the community. They can do this perhaps by offering
free or low cost classes for those who would like to learn a special skill. If
not low cost courses then as an alternative they can offer affordable rent for
people who host events like these.
SLE: What do you think are the Biggest Issues for Avies in SL?
Chocolate Voom: The biggest
issues that me and many avas that I know have are: inventory loss and
copybotting. I have had my share of
inventory loss over my 8 years in SL.
The loss that really irked me was during December 2014. I lost two rare gacha items that are next to
impossible to replace without spending a small fortune. This loss occurred during unscheduled
maintenance. I did not rez them; the
items simply vanished from my inventory.
There is no way to get the items back from either the creator or
LL. Inventory loss is not always
discovered immediately; usually I am searching for the objects when I discover
they have vanished. SLers should be
compensated even if a small percentage of their loss is returned, by Linden Labs.
Another big issue that avies are facing is
the increasing risk of purchasing copybotted items on MarketPlace and
inworld. Thieves are more brazen than
ever and rip off hardworking legitimate creators all of the time. I see so many illegal items on
MarketPlace. It's terrible for the creators
and the SL community as a whole.
Possible Solution:
If
more measures were taken against the botters, content theft could slowly but
surely change. Ban viewers that have
security flaws that allow copybotting.
Ban scripts that allow copybotting.
Ban the thieves swiftly and consistently.
Esther Bailey Prata, Creator and Owner of LAGO DE PRATA
Problem:
Esther : The amount of scripts most
avies unknowingly carry with them and create lag.
Possible solution: Better education
on script usage.
Autumn Yap, Owner of Hiϛh V
Problem:
Autumn: I think it depends on how long
they’ve been here. For newbies or people who are revisiting sl I think catching
up to get their look updated. Maybe that is a big issue for everyone though,
staying up to date with what’s going on and improving in world.
Possible solution:
Autumn: I think stores do a good job
with their groups and subscribomatics keeping buyers aware of what’s new but so
many groups and notifications are overwhelming. Not sure of how to fix such a
thing but I think outlets like Second life Inventory and Seraphinsl.com are
great resources.
Forever Tracei Moore, Owner of Foil
Problem:
Forever Tracei Moore : Trusting
others with my most personal feelings, I’m normally guarded and only allow
selective people in. However, I find that the people that hurt you the most are
normally the ones you let in and know which choices of actions will cause you
the most damage.
Possible Solution:
Forever Tracei Moore: There is no
solution to this, it's a risk you take to love others and allow them to love
you back, even if it’s just for a moment.
Addressing the Problems & Solutions
Lanai Jarrico: I’ve been in
Second Life a very long time. I wouldn’t have survived it without knowing how
to handle situations thrown in my path so I am offering you all some advice. From Lag, copybotting and
the lack of men’s clothes to overwhelming subscribotic notices and emotional
attacks, there are issues in Second life that could use some much needed
attention. Overcoming these obstacles can be a challenge but there are
solutions that can at least lessen the impact on how they will personally
effect you. Lag is something that has been around since the beginning of
virtual world. We can look at it as poor weather that we cannot control or we
can do things to help reduce it such as lighten the load of scripts and prims
on your land and or avatar and encourage your friends to do the same. Working
together on this issue can make a difference.
Copybotting is just like having burglars in your rl
neighborhoods or cities. We all know they are there but never know who they are
or when they will strike. The best way to discourage thieves is to report them
to authorities whenever you see suspicious activity. But for the most part LL needs to step up to
the plate and really do something about it.
The issue with men’s clothes seems to be parallel to the
real world. Woman have always had it better when it comes to the assortment of
fashion and accessories available. If more male designers fill the demand then
the women would be the ones complaining. lol
Emotional Attacks have got to be one of the
worst problems between people in Second Life. The best way to avoid personal
attacks is to be selective with the information you share with others.
Especially, things that might make you vulnerable to attacks the minute things
go south. This doesn’t mean you are lying to someone you care about. You don’t
have to share every detail of your life. Caring about someone is more about
what you would do to protect them and show them they mean something to you. All
the extra information is just sprinkles on the cake. The cake should be good on
its own. The sprinkles don’t make it what it really is.
Last but not
least, the overwhelming subscribomatics notices. This seems to be one of the
biggest issues when it comes to mass spamming and bombardment of advertisement.
I’m currently dealing with this issue myself. It is definitely a violation of SL etiquette
and needs to be stopped. Anyone who owns a subscribomatic should ask before
adding people to the system. It is rude and inconsiderate. The best solution to
this problem is contact them and ask them to please exclude you from the friend
list spamming. If that doesn’t work make yourself appear offline to the
violators or simply delete that person off your friend list. If they don’t talk
to you any other time but to spam you, they aren’t really a friend anyway.
