2008-07-04 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

                                    .:*~*:. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY .:*~*:.
The Lord of the Rings is about how men, including the humblest of men, choose to act in the face of moral urgency and engulfing peril. It is about the power of humility, the wisdom of mercy, the glory of self-sacrificial valor, the false glamour of evil, the workings of grace, and above all, the necessity of faith.

This is a link to a site about one of my all-time favorite books. On TV, former Olympic gymnist Gloria McArdle (no relation to Cardhu … I think) plays Vixen the Slayer, a cross between Xena and Buffy set in Elizabethan England. Several really short people in long robes show up in her dressing room declaring “Only the greatest warrior who ever lived could help our people in their hour of greatest need. You are she.” Poof ~ she finds herself in the land of Erchanen. http://www.sff.net/people/eluki/titles/warslayer.html

:*~*:.  Where in the world is   Swarovsky Brooks? Choraii was obviously really excited to get this one!

[11:15]  Choraii Tammas: Gotha You are at the Cathedral and you took the pic on the outside of the vaults cellars of the Cathedral. I know I was right. The little artifact in the pic is actually the book with the rules of the IoW and stands normally in the Cathedral. Now replaced by the Hatching Event announcement . I suspect the the pic was taken while still rezzing LOL. Well done on this one Swar, I bow deeply. It took me 2 days. I knew I recognized the cliffside. And the object in the left bottom corner is actually still in the great hall.  It is a cushion with a hatchling poseball
[ 0:56]  Swarovski Brooks: well in fact i am IN the cathedral. What you see is below the normal floor. Thats what i see when i tp there before all is rezzed. A bit tricky indeed! But you got it )) Congrats. We have to meet soon so that I can give you your price!!!

:*~*:.  Results of last Thursday’s Elf Circle Speed Build from Jase Byrne and Flopsie:
     Thanks to Thursday’s sponsors Jibrael Yifu, Sairi Matova and our regular sponsor Annoy Mouse.

Third place went to Newcomer Serenity Lorefield, Hey Voom came in Second, while First Place was tied between Dorie Bernstein and Golda Stein. See you all there next week!

.:*~*:. LINK OF THE DAY: The Childhood Dreams Dome – SLC at SL5B ~ The Exhibit that was once declined from being built at the Second Life 5Th Birthday. The Build was declined because the builders wanted it to represent their community of Childlike Avatars. After weeks of protest by many communities of Second Life Linden Lab allowed the Exhibit idea to be resubmitted. This time however it was accepted and the Exhibit was built exactly how it was meant to be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd9_f04awWI

2008-06-24 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

“There is no such thing as a “self-made” man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.”   ~ George Matthew Adams, Philosopher (Dedicated with thanks and gratitude to my family at Elf Circle)

Where in the world is Swarovsky Brooks?

   
And just where was Choraii?

Hi Rose, I have 2 winners here who were spot on.
The first was Andros Baphomet: “Hiya…I know where you are… In ElvenMoor, in the Dwarves of the Iron Forge, next to the 6-legged Dwarven Steam-Walker.”
The second Blynn Heron:  “hi Choraii – you are underground in the Dwarves of the Iron forge complex standing next to the 6-legged Dwarven Steam-Walker I took a picture of me there and will put it in your inventory.”   (And she did )
The following 3 also guessed the location, but not a accurate as the above two:
Yichard Muni: “I did not found exactly where you are today, but there is a strong guess it is in the dawrves forges “

2008-06-23 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

“It’s easy to believe in magic when you’re young.  Anything you couldn’t explain was magic then.  It didn’t matter if it was science or a fairy tale.  Electricity and elves were both infinitely mysterious and equally possible – elves probably more so” ~Charles de Lint

Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.

Elves are bad.”
