christmas party at hardbeatz xmas stage at bassline island
bassline junkiez's hardbeatz xmas stage on bassline island
christmas party at hardbeatz xmas stage at bassline island, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.
A beautiful winter wonderland at BassLine Island is charming at the Hardbeatz Xmas Stage. With the whimsical train choo chooing around the twinkling Christmas trees, the very hard beats of drum and bass and dub were definitely an edgy contrast to the holiday decor. BassLine always has awesome builders creating very cool spaces.
Avatars were peppered all over the Bassline Island region at small parties with Drum and Bass, dub and reggae booming from the speakers.
When the beat enters your ears and your avi starts dancing, it's very hard to leave! You just don't leave a BassLine Junkiez parties when the dj is pumping out the tunes... party peeps!

Beautiful Moments are Magical
This place will kill you and your soul. The backstabbing, the drama of the grid is enough to chase out the strongest. There are not-so-nice people here. Some with problems so deep that one can only imagine. And, yet, I have met some of the most wonderful avis/people here in the world.
The ones I love are supporters in every sense of the word. They come through with advice and knowledge that helps with everything that I do. People here are very generous and kind. Those are the ones I gravitate towards and include in a special circle of friends.
Yesterday was magic. A dear friend, an old friend of Xavier's extended family, has given me a gift of art. The art is well-known and the artists on this grid will recognize it immediately. Lika is back on the grid building his houses. He is a builder and artist who originally created the "Cave" that we have rezzed for special occasions.
I am a very emotional person. Tears flow easily when I am presented with great music and art. Live musician, Max Kleene has moved me to tears so many times that I feel almost silly over my reaction. And, the first time I saw a Starax at an outdoor gallery, I was so overwhelmed with just the building of the sculpture itself. When I saw Ballet Pixelle's first performance, my breathe caught in the back of my throat as I choked up with tears.
In real life, the tears flow even when I listen to a youth symphony. I hear the errors and the missteps, but I feel their passion as they play. I know these young musicians are not looking for stardom; they play because they love the music. Outsider art are gems. Precious pieces done by people with no training or pretension. They make art because their souls demand it. I have been overwhelmed with this type of art.
For me, it's not a measure of technical excellence but rather the presentation and the delivery. There are many great musicians, artists and dancers in this world. But, there are only a rare few that will touch our hearts. And, that is something very magical... and when you are there at that moment, there is a sense of seeing something that no one else has experienced.
When I watched the finale of America's Got Talent, the show let me know that I am not alone in this feeling. This is why everyone in the entire world connects to certain artists. And the gift that I received yesterday was one that I had connected to the very first few months that I was on this grid.
Yesterday was pure magic.

Mankind Tracer's Peace, Love & Belief IV Mega Concert
MANKIND TRACER'S
PEACE, LOVE & BELIEF IV MEGA CONCERT:
On October 3rd, Mankind Tracer will be holding the largest ever multi-sim concert event in Second Life's history.
Over the past few years, Mankind Tracer, SL's most recognized live performer, has held his Peace, Love & Belief Concerts, with the last PLB III on 34 different sims. During PLB III, Mankind played a few songs at each venue, jumping from sim to sim for over 6 hours straight. While this is still the recognized record for most simultaneous sims, Mankind will be going for 50 sims at Peace, Love & Belief IV.
The major difference this year is that PLB IV will be a Live Video Concert. The concert is planned to last for three straight hours. There will also be a live audio stream just in case residents don't have the ability to see video. Mankind will stream his live show across SL via the new "stage screen" and thus will not need to jump sims. This year, there will still be the Land Mark Board which, as with all previous PLB Events, will clearly display the names of all participating venues/sims and each will be clickable to their respective LM's.
The idea of Peace, Love & Belief is something Mankind Tracer offers all attendees at his shows and has been doing so for well over three and a half years since he first started performing. In Mankind's own word's, "I wish you peace in your minds, love in your hearts and belief in the generosity and the goodness of the people that share the world with us." Millions of people have likely heard his message and his hopes are to spread his message even further.
Participating venues will be provided with a "Package" which will include all setup material including the video screen, audio stream info, the LM Board, promotional material and an instruction notecard for setup. You will need to place the provided texture in your land settings under "Media Texture".
During his long time performing in SL, Mankind Tracer has won many prestigious awards, performed countless charitable events for both large and personal causes and he has released 3 SL CD's which have seen tremendous success in SL. His concerts are usually packed with most being driven by audience requests and of course his truly amazing and insightful original music. In the saturated live music scene, Mankind Tracer, still after all these years, remains the most widely recognized SL live performer. He is the "goto guy" to help launch the Linden Labs' events like the SL Birthday parties and Burning Life events. Through all of his success, Mankind Tracer remains a kind and generous man and all around nice guy!
Be sure to get on board this historic SL Event as many SL and RL eyes will be watching this one!
THIS IS GONNA BE BIIIIIIIGGGGG!!!!
• Event Promotion
Banners advertising the event will be placed all around SL, on Second Friends, FaceBook events, MySpace, Reverb Nation, SL Radio Station and more.
• Sponsorship
If you are a business in SL and would like to sponsor the event, there are only 10 spots available. Sponsors will have a square image embeded onto the LM board which will be placed at all participating venues offering great exposure. Sponsor ads will also be clickable to a LM of your choice.
Those who choose to sponsor the event will also be offered a discounted ad rate for one month on Second Friends, the Social Networking Website for SL residents only, created by Mankind Tracer:

If you would like to be part of this historic SL Event, either by carrying the stream or by sponsoring the event, please contact Mankind Tracer, Kalli Birman or Roos Tomsen to get further info as soon as you can. There is only room for 50 venues/sims.

Information:
BALLET PIXELLE™ PREMIERES "AVATARA"
A NEW ORIGINAL BALLET
Second Life -- Premiere Date: June 2010
Ballet Pixelle™ (formerly Second Life Ballet) will premiere its ninth work “Avatara” in June 2010. Ballet Pixelle™ is the first performing ballet company in the virtual global community Second Life. Says the Company's founder, Inarra Saarinen, “As artistic director of the Company since its inception, I have enormous pride in Ballet Pixelle™. Our goal is to investigate and explore the interaction and intersection of physical and virtual dance. We are excited to celebrate the future of dance. We are dancing into the digital future!”
Before there was Second Life, there were avatars...
Avatāra (Sanskrit for "descent") refers to a deliberate descent of a deity from heaven to earth, and is mostly translated into English as "incarnation", but more accurately as "appearance" or "manifestation". Isn't that what it would be if a virtual being became a physical being? And if a physical being became a virtual being...
A real, physical dancer wonders what it would be like to exist in a virtual world where she could move past her physical bodily limits --- without regard to her joints and muscles. And without physics limits -- to hover and fly at will. Is there such a place? Can she visit? What a memory to hold!
********************************************************************
Members of Ballet Pixelle™ come together from all over the world, Japan, Europe, and North America. Animations are created by Inarra Saarinen and put into dance phrases. There are no artifical synchronizing devices and the dancers truly perform dancing with each other and the music. Each performance is truly live and unique, and takes advantage of the characteristics of Second Life to extend the art of the ballet in new directions. “Avatara” is the ninth and newest ballet in the Ballet Pixelle™ (formerly Second Life Ballet) repertoire. Come see it and participate in this innovative artform.
Performances take place on Sundays at 5:00pm SLT at the Ballet Pixelle Theatre
Come early because seats fill quickly.

FTC - Federal Trade Commission - USA
Since 1995, I have been blogging on the internet. Of course, then we called it journaling a log about our experiences. A digitally written diary of the minutiae of our lives. Ridiculously unimportant and filled with personal anecdotes about nothing. Occasionally, I would mention a cool product that I bought or a place that I went to such as a restaurant or store. And, even then, the journals were just my musings.
When the internet exploded with journals, we started calling them blogs. Blah blah blah logs became blogs. The content was still about nothing much, but we could see that someone was reading our little missives and it made a difference in our businesses. Another way to connect with our consumer base.
We started reviewing the things we liked and the things we lived with daily. A restaurant would send a voucher for a dinner or a manufacturer would send a freebie t-shirt. Benign gifts of accolades and thank-you's.
Then, we started getting the big gifts. The stuff that was expensive and made us feel a bit creepy accepting. Sure, we loved their products but it made me feel like a paid agent for their company. So, I made a decision and said, "No more.
The decision was made way back in the late1990's. I would have to check my archived files for those first disclosure contracts. Yes, I had my entire team sign them and the legal language was harsh. If you wrote something and you were given a monetary gift, you were fired.
In this virtual world of international interests, the lines blur. People send gifts to each other for all kinds of kindness. I get gifts from avis from my group, and I return them or delete them after letting them know that I can't accept them. On THE A LIST! the lines blur even more. We are a business group and our members give the group gifts. As long as it is a gift that is shared among the entire group, then Xavier and I feel that it is not a gift for blogging.
The problem is that if a gift is given and I wasn't online and it is sitting in my inventory; that fact alone may taint my reputation if ever the logs were reviewed. It is a difficult situation for me. In THE A LIST! we have asked our contributors to disclose gifts, and we have a disclaimer on those blogs. Because both of us are on American soil with FTC -Federal Trade Commission blogging laws over our heads, we want to try our best to adhere to US laws.
We know how ridiculous laws can be, but this one tries to protect the consumer. I think we know gifts are given to bloggers from Consumer Report. It is obvious that the product manufacturer gave the blogger the product for review. The reason we believe Consumer Reports reviews is that the evaluations can be harsh... very harsh. So, we believe that the products are honestly evaluated and CR has a disclaimer.
I am the blogger on THE A LIST! and I want to make sure that people know that I do not accept gifts from any of the group members unless they have shared that gift with the entire group. So, my blogs do not have a disclaimer. Some of the contributors have a disclaimer on their post because it is a product review and the item was given by the creator.
How the FTC reviews the millions of blogs in the real world or virtual world is interesting in itself. And, the law will fine the blogger and the product creator, too. Ouch! Double slam. So, we try to protect both interests. No gifts period is a good policy. It's best that we stay as squeaky clean as possible. As far as some industries, it's practically a given that those gifts to the avis are for reviews. But, now we disclose that in those specific posts and let you decide.

Saturday morning and I partied too hard last night. With a cup of tea and
an apple bread, I sit down to visit my friends at Japan Resort.
There is always a great music stream or dj there playing disco, progressive, electro or anything in between.
This is a Japanese community that welcomes everyone from around the world.
Languages of the planet can be heard on the dance floor. Woot!

second life mixing with real life
So hard to believe that I have been on the Second Life grid this long. I still remember 2007 when I arrived on the color sims near the a popular sandbox. Building and creating my waterfalls... trying to mimic the world I really live in with the rivers, streams and natural places near my home. I have learned a lot here in Second Life. I learned how to build and though I am still a rudimentary scripter, it's amazing that I can even do that now!
My two regions have been so fun create. Like others, the passion we put into our land is the vision inside our heads. Some builders create fantastic fantasy worlds while others like me try to copy Mother Nature. It has brought a profound appreciation to the real world that I experience.
I am lucky. I travel, I see beautiful places on this earth and I try to bring that experience into the virtual world here. Without any fanfare, my regions are now in Second Life's showcase. I am so proud to have been chosen to be on that list. Look for WETLands in the Parks and Nature category; we are at #4 now. Wow! And, as a co-owner of THE A LIST! my actual land is actually on LL's list!
I have taken thousands of pictures and they are uploaded to my avatar, rafee's flickr and koinup. I created several RAFTWET Jewell youtube by myself and with my friend, Aoshi. And, the blogs... gawd, do I ever stop blogging? LOL! But, I needed something more.
A very good friend was on the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch videography team that finally won the Emmy. After a few years of being nominated, this death-defying team won this year. So, I talked to my friend and asked him if he would film a whitewater sequence in real life and incorporate my avatar rafting on WETLands. He was intrigued by the idea and enjoyed visiting both my land and SL.
Enjoy the video and then come on over to WETLands and try the rafts... or just bring a date and hang out in a natural park-like setting and just chill. There's an outdoor ballroom next to the bay area, both romantic and casual at the same time. Have fun!

I am so proud to have been chosen to be on that list. Look for WETLands in the Parks and Nature category; we are at #4 now. Wow! And, as a co-owner of THE A LIST! my actual land is actually on LL's list!
I have taken thousands of pictures and they are uploaded to my avatar, rafee's flickr and koinup. I created several RAFTWET Jewell youtube by myself and with my friend, Aoshi. And, the blogs... gawd, do I ever stop blogging? LOL! But, I needed something more.
A very good friend was on the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch videography team that finally won the Emmy. After a few years of being nominated, this death-defying team won this year. So, I talked to my friend and asked him if he would film a whitewater sequence in real life and incorporate my avatar rafting on WETLands. He was intrigued by the idea and enjoyed visiting both my land and SL.
Enjoy the video and then come on over to WETLands and try the rafts... or just bring a date and hang out in a natural park-like setting and just chill. There's an outdoor ballroom next to the bay area, both romantic and casual at the same time. Have fun!

river on blue galaxy, waterfalls at avilion
I've been exploring again with friends and my partner. There are so many beautiful sims on the Second Life grid. I am always stunned at the creators here.
Aoshi sent me a tp the other night to Blue Galaxy. Now, I've been there before, but the textures on the hills and mountains have been changed. They are unbelievably realistic.
The river is gorgeous with rays of light washing over the sky. We stayed for quite awhile talking in chat and just hanging out there.
A few nights later, Xavi and I went to Avilion Ballroom. This is probably my all time favorite ballroom in Second Life. I think almost every romantic couple in SL has been here.
But, the difference that night was the incredible sky waterfalls they created. Gawd, they were fantastic! I have a sky waterfall too on RiverLand that was inspired by SL Botanical Gardens, but this was just absolutely gorgeously created.
There is no end to the beauty of this grid. Try to explore and see what the builders have made just for you.

Ethereal music drifting through the particles highlighting the installation at the Quantum Musical Entanglements concert.
Skye Galaxy and Cypress Rosewood weaving a mesmerizing array of musical notes wrapping around our selves.
This is a technological concert merging art, music and avatars fully immersed into the performance itself.
Soothing... enriching the soul... I drift away above all worries and approach nirvana here on Kolor Studio. Thank you Kolor Fall for this beautiful presentation on your land.
