White Tiger, Orientation Area for First Responder Sim Open House Now- Official Opening Later This Week

Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lawst%20Paradise/85/82/751 or direct link here: WhiteTigerHere.

Patrick Thorkveld gave me a sneak peek at the new White Tiger Orientation Area for the First Responder Sim. He said, "Treacle Darlandes set it up in conjunction with us and LL...it's the orientation area for training people who come into SL so they have skills necessary for First Responder training." He said new avatars new in training will learn how to drive, walk up stairs, open doors, etc.


I met up with Iso Huet the art and design director for the First Responder projects, Patrick Thorkveld and Treacle Darlandes who is the sim designer and director of the program for orientation for new avatars in SL and is also director of the orientation program and screening for trainees for first responder. Iso explained this area is an expansion of their burn install (which I previously blogged) and it is Treacle's domain. Treacle explained that this sim is for new users to SL and mentors are here to help.

Treacle Darlandes said, "We will help Iso and Patrick by teaching the new users who come for the FR training to use the viewer before they go on to do the FR course. But we will try to prepare them so they can follow their course well." Patrick said Treacle also has a whole program endorsed by SL to train new avatars that had approximately 10 k people come through last year. He added that all the First Responder trainees have to be certified here first. Treacle said, "This is avatar control in a crash course, only I hope they don't crash too much!" She added that they can look at their rig - pc or laptop etc., ..get the best out of what they have hopefully, let them know about the Community Standards, and teach them how to orientate quick. The White Tiger Help and Learning Island for New Residents is below. Iso said, "This is an important project. Hopefully there will be lives saved out of it. Wouldn't that be something?! Learn in SL.. save lives in RL."

This orientation area is designed after the burn exhibit and the FR sim itself on a mini scale including the working tornado, fires, lots of lightening, crashing waters and stormy sounds along with areas to learn to maneuver in such situations. A great project for a great cause and fun to safely experience.

Game Night!

A few of us friends got together at Club Eclectricity for some games. Club owner, Izzy, has some of the best games and tonight it was a round of Pictionary while most of us kept one eye on RL TV Super Bowl game and the other on the SL Pictionary game. I won the first round and Izzy won the second round. We finished our games about the same time the Super Bowl finished up and it was pay off time. "He who shall not be named" was the game day bet loser so had to don the costume of Emma's choice and run in a club for 2 minutes. She chose a beautiful little Giant's cheer leading outfit complete with pom poms and matching boots and off we went to the club. The rest is history.....

Proposers is a group for photography, pose and animation lovers.
We wanted to open the New Year with a different event rather than our famous Hunt. Sitting on the couch and watching the snow falling, and the Holidays fast approaching, I thought it was the right time to have fun again and HELP for a GOOD CAUSE.
I have had the great honor and opportunity to get in touch with the ASA (Autism Society of America). Autism is a great deal nowadays, that appears in early childhood, usually before age 3. All autism disorders affect a child's ability to communicate and interact with others. December 2009, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued their ADDM autism prevalence report. The report concluded that the prevalence of autism had risen to 1 in every 110 births in the United States and almost 1 in 70 boys.


MISSION:
We came out with the idea to have a EXPO where part of the sales will be donated directly to the ASA.
Donation Kiosks will be placed on the sim too. Documents and/or proof of RL Donation will be shared with the Proposers Group after the end of the event.


*WHEN:
From 11th to 25th of February, 2012.

*SIZE:
2 Sims are available to host this Event

*NUMBER OF CREATORS:
Up to 180 Posemakers and Animators will be able to join us

*OTHER CONTRIBUTORS AND AUCTIONS:
Other Photography artists, creators or VIP's will join to give a contribution in this project.

Late Night Chocolate Fix at Konditrei Frozen Night

Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/japan%20nagano/23/214/22 or direct link here: FrozenNightHere.

Tonight I stopped in at Frozen Night, a little corner of chocolate heaven by Toya Watanabe. The whole place looks like it's made up of chocolate and candies. The first shop I stopped in had a couple of adorable dollarbees including large chocolate figure props than when sat on poofed Valentines hearts and a sweet cushion with pose. There are some fun things in the shop and I bought a cute little dress that actually hands out mouth candy to those who dare touch the candies tucked away in the bosom. I moved on to enjoy some adorable pose balls and spots around the area and walked through chocolate into other buildings to pose and play including riding a candy train through a sort of Valentines tunnel of chocolate love. There are free chocolate mouth candies to be found if you are clicker like me and I found the whole experience to be quite fun. Check it out if you like chocolate or have a fun date for Valentines.


I was about to leave the sim when I glanced around and saw a break in the ice in a section of the sim next to the chocolate area so I explored into the ice break and found a whole store of totally fun stuff for sale by this same maker under water/ice. Then I had to start camming the whole place and it's awesome, filled with a vareity of unique shops of fun things from landscaping to clothes to more valentines items such as chocolate trees that hand out candy. Plus there's a ton more things to play on, bike around the square, ride the penguine swing go round, and pose spots like the seat next to the mama and baby bear in the waterfall that I sat in for a while. Then I won some gestures in a game and some musical animations on the lucky board atop a small floating rock structure. A great place to visit.

I went for the chocolate and found so much more!

Yes that's me in the cup. ; )

BattleBeast Breedables, Coming Soon

Visit here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/La%20Terrasa/239/131/22 or direct link here: BattlebeastHere.
The latest SL breedables coming soon.



Their website says: "What’s so revolutionary about a breeding dragon, one might ask? Well, the BattleBeast Breedables dragons don’t JUST produce off-spring, eat, interact, and look amazing in accessories… (although they DO look amazing in accessories), the Beasts battle! Gamers will appreciate that XP, Levels are earned through battle. Stamina, strength and speed are a blend of Nature and Nuture: Breeding and Battle. As you breed your dragon traits to produce the best possible (“Nature”), the dragon also gains through battle (“Nurture”).
Better Battles means Better Breeding, and Better Breeding means Better Battles.
The BattleBeast dragon is a game built around its own history and adventure. Then add in the fact that they hunt, they patrol and you can ride them, and you’ve got Second Life revolutionary!Check out their website here: http://battlebeastbreedables.com/ or direct link here: BattleBeastwebHere.
