THE DICKENS PROJECT 2016 
Opens December 10th

Water Haven, Second Life – The 2016 Edition of Seanchai Library's annual celebration of English literary giant Charles Dickens, The Dickens Project, will open in Second Life on Saturday, December 10th with over 20 hours of live events of all kinds, spanning eight days, to benefit Team Diabetes in Second Life. This year's Project is sponsored by Kultivate Magazine and will take place on Kultivate's headquarter region, Water Haven.

THE DICKENS PROJECT SPONSORISED BY KULTIVATE MAGAZINE

The Dickens Project is in its fourth year, featuring live presentations of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol along with other works by the author. The different staves (i.e. chapters) of Charles Dickens' "ghostly little book" will be presented at different times of day during the week, December 12-16, to make the live readings accessible to residents from all over the globe. 

New features this year will include the "Eight Days of Dickens" mini-hunt, and expanded music events. Kultivate Magazine has opened up their half-region event space so that this year, more than ever, visitors can "walk in the steps of Ebenezer Scrooge."  Dedicated areas for Christmas Past and Yet to Come, designed and built by Caledonia Skytower  and Aoife Lorefield respectively, compliment the central market square "Present" area. 

"We think of Charles Dickens and his work in the past tense, under the colossus of 'greatest novelist of the Victorian era,'" said Caledonia Skytower of Seanchai Library, "The elements that make A Christmas Carol timeless and compelling played a part in earning him that title." Seanchai Chief Storyteller, Shandon Loring, added of Dickens' 1843 work, "It has never fallen out of favor, never been out of print.  It has been endlessly adapted.  Its publication came at a time when the English were re-examining how they celebrated the holiday and what it meant.  A lot of what we think of today as "traditional" to the holiday can trace its genesis back through this work."  

Also new this year is a Resource Center created by the Community Virtual Library at their home on Bradley University.  Visitors can use a "tele-portal" to travel directly to the Resource Center to find out more about the issues impacting Dickens' work.  What was Tiny Tim suffering from, anyhow?  Find out what scholars think, and then take a handy "tele-portal" back to The Dickens Project main site.  There will also be a number of other one-way "tele-portal" options for visitors who love Victoriana, Literature, and Art. 

The finale is scheduled for Sunday, December 18th, a marathon “Big Read” presentation of A Christmas Carol performed in relay style: "all the words of every stave presented in one session by a cast of voices."  That presentation will be preceded by musician Wald Schridde, presenting traditional ballads and dance tunes from the 17th and 18th centuries.  

The schedule is currently available on a special page of Seanchai Library's website - (http://irelandslstory.blogspot.com/p/2015-dickens-project.html).  Times and dates are subject to change.  Check details at the webpage and at The Dickens Project itself (once the festival opens) for the most up to date event information. Events are free to all Second Life Residents, and donations will be accepted for Team Diabetes in Second Life.

Seanchai Library (Shanna-key, which means "Storyteller" in Irish.) was founded in March of 2008 in Second Life. Thousands of stories, and hundreds of authors later, the program remains dedicated to promoting the power of stories to transform and inspire through live voice presentations: "We bring stories of all kinds to life, in Second Life."

EARTHQUAKE RELIEF IN ITALY

mardi, août 30, 2016 Roxaane Fyanucci 0 Comments

In the early morning hours of August 24th,2016 tragedy struck Italy. Mother Nature decided to lay her strong quivering hands on the ground of the mountainous central regions, causing a 6.2 magnitude earthquake.

At least 290 people have died across the region, many more have been injured. Countless homes and businesses have been destroyed, the town of Amatrice is in ruins. This disaster has left many people with nothing but the clothes they were wearing when the earthquake began. 

This is a tragedy that many of us can’t imagine. We’ve been lucky to live in places that mother nature has not yet forsaken.  For many of us, this tragedy and similar events like it are just a passing story on the nightly news. For those in Italy the story has become reality.  In times like these, it is important to remember that no matter where you live in the world you can help. Survivors need emergency supplies like food, water, and medicine. They also have long-term needs like shelter and help with rebuilding.  
We are lucky here in Second Life to be able to spend our days surrounded by people from all over the world. We may be nothing more than pixels on a computer, but behind those pixels are real human beings that live, breathe and love.

Marvelous events, along their staff are setting aside everything in real life and in second life on September 17th, 2016 to support Italy. This will be a day to honor their Italian staff, friends and anyone in the SecondLife Community who have been affected by this disaster.

Marvelous Events shopping district will be holding events in The Lounge all day on Saturday, September 17th. Marvelous Events will be donating 100% of their proceeds from the event sales, 100% of Donations to The Lounge and the Dj’s are graciously donating 100% their tips as well to the Croce Rossa Italiana (Italian red cross).

What’s in store for the day? 
·        For music lovers, we have amazing Dj’s spinning tunes from 6am-10pm in the lounge.
·        For shoppers, all our shops will be open and ready for you to browse.
·       Their will be random prize giveaways throughout the entire day from our Marvelous Designers.
·       Our sim sponsor, Posh Pixels has offered to create a OOAK gown to be auctioned off.                             100% of the proceeds donated to the cause. 
        
This will be an amazing event that you don’t want to miss. Marvelous Events owners and staff hope to make a difference for the people suffering in Italy. This is your chance to help out those in need.

Whether you have been lucky enough to never experience a disaster like this or you have been part of one in the past, you can help make a difference by participating in the events on Saturday September 17th.

Make sure you mark this day on your calendars.

And we run...

mardi, juillet 05, 2016 Roxaane Fyanucci 2 Comments

Ça brûle dans ton cœur, les ténèbres dont tu as peur

You were never free, and you never realized 

Tu n'as jamais été libre, et tu n'a jamais réalisé

And love is a word you've never heard 

Et Amour est un mot que tu n'as jamais entendu

Your heart is cold cause it burns the desire to leave the mind

Ton cœur est froid parce qu'il brûle le désir pour libérer les pensées

Retiens ton souffle jusqu'à ce qu'il ne reste rien

Stars of life upon your chest 

Les étoiles de la vie sur ta poitrine

And I know you wherever you go

Et je te connais partout où tu vas

Et nous courons et ne regardons pas en arrière

And we run til we've had enough

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on ait assez

And we run, tell me how to run

Et nous courons, dis-moi comment courir

And we run, til we break down

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on se décompose

And we run til we fall apart

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on s'écroule

And we run til we've had enough

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on ait assez

Don't blink, you'll miss it

Ne cligne pas des yeux, tu le manquerais 

Lift up your head, we gotta get gone

Relève la tête, on doit s'en sortir 

Yeah, we outta here

Ouais nous sommes hors de là

Don't blink, you'll miss it

Ne cligne pas des yeux, tu le manquerais 

Lift up your head

Relève la tête, 

Too late, we gone

Trop tard, nous sommes partis

Yeah, we outta here

Ouais nous sommes hors de là

Et nous courons, pour cet amour qui tue

And we run, tell me how it's enough

Et nous courons, dis-moi comment est-ce assez

And we run, far ahead we go

Et nous courons, loin devant nous allons

I'ma break these chains, ran through the rain

Je vais briser ces chaines, courir sous la pluie

Never looked back, never quit, worked through the pain

Ne jamais regardé derrière, ne jamais quitter, travailler sous la douleur 

This blood in my veins run cold when I hate

Ce sang dans mes veines est froid quand je hais

Give enough to keep sane but I never lose hope

Je donne assez pour rester sain d'esprit mais je ne perds jamais espoir 

This is my time now, no time for tears to celebrate

C'est mon moment à présent, pas de temps pour que les larmes célèbrent 

Put it in the air right now

Les mettre en l'air maintenant

Never back down, you'll never wear my crown

Ne jamais redescendre, tu ne porteras jamais ma couronne

cause it weighs too much and I crush every motherfucking thing I touch

Parce que c'est trop lourd et j'écrase toute putain de chose que je touche

This is what I've never loved so much 

Voilà ce que je n'ai jamais autant aimé

Get involved what's the worst stand up

Être impliqué qu'elle pire place à tenir

Here my mic before I ever get far

Voilà mon micro avant que je n'aille trop loin

Man in lights, you lost all my trust

Mec sous les lumières, tu perds toute ma confiance

Now it's time to face all of us

À présent il est temps de tous nous affronter

Get in line just to spar with us 

Mets-toi en ligne juste pour t'entraîner avec nous

And it feels so far from us, just take my hand and run

Et ça semble si loin de nous, prends ma main et courons

And we run, for this killing love

Et nous courons, pour cet amour qui tue

And we run, tell me how it's enough

Et nous courons, dis-moi comment est-ce assez

And we run, til we never done

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on ait jamais fini

And we run til we fall apart

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on s'écroule

And we run til we've had enough

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on ait assez

Ouais, nous sortons de là

Don't blink, you'll miss it

Ne cligne pas des yeux, tu le manquerais 

Lift up your head, we gotta get gone

Relève la tête, on doit s'en sortir 

Yeah, we outta here

Ouais nous sommes hors de là

Don't blink, you'll miss it

Ne cligne pas des yeux, tu le manquerais 

Lift up your head

Relève la tête, 

Too late, we gone

Trop tard, nous sommes partis

Yeah, we outta here

Ouais nous sommes hors de là

And we run, for this killing love

Et nous courons, pour cet amour qui tue

And we run, tell me how it's enough

Et nous courons, dis-moi comment est-ce assez

And we run, til we never done

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on ait jamais fini

And we run til we fall apart

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on s'écroule

And we run til we've had enough

Et nous courons jusqu'à ce qu'on ait assez

Don't blink, you'll miss it

Ne cligne pas des yeux, tu le manquerais 

Lift up your head, we gotta get gone

Relève la tête, on doit s'en sortir 

Yeah, we outta here

Ouais nous sommes hors de là

Don't blink, you'll miss it

Ne cligne pas des yeux, tu le manquerais 

Lift up your head

Relève la tête, 

Too late, we gone

Trop tard, nous sommes partis

Yeah, we outta here

Ouais nous sommes hors de là
