My blog won't be alone. I'm sure thousands if not tens of thousands or more will disappear because someone has an issue with nudity and other adult topics. So much for free speech.<br />

So here is the last Topless Tuesday picture I will post on Blogger. Going forward, my blog will be hosted by Wordpress at <a href="https://poultryreport.wordpress.com/">https://poultryreport.wordpress.com</a><br />
<br />
The move is in progress so the look of the new site might change. I'm still using the same template that I picked when I created the Wordpress version years ago when I experimented with it versus Blogger.<br />
<br />
Perhaps it is easier to objectify bare chests on women than it is on men and likely this will always be so. It is an erogenous zone, after all. And as much as I decry the inequality between men and women on this issue, I often look at other women with a bit of lascivious glee, clothed or not. I like boobs but I can understand some of the reasoning behind Blogger's policy change.<br />
<br />
I can't help wonder, though, if Google/Blogger will crack down on violent images. Which is more harmful ... a picture of a woman's breast being caressed or one being carved at with a knife? Frequent exposure to anything will desensitize a person to the stimulus it provides. That's one of the reasons the Romans held The Games. Let Citizens see violence and they will become accustomed to it. Frankly, I'd rather see more breasts and hope I don't get bored.<br />
<br />
Since my efforts with <i>The Poultry Report</i> have to been focus on Second Life I'll abstain from delving into the <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanny_state">nanny state</a></i> concept behind all of this. Perhaps I'll tackle it in the future if I can find an SL tie-in.<br />

<br />
BAY CITY, SL (26th January, 2015) - It’s nearly that time of year again when we look for furry little shadows. You do have your shadows enabled, no? It's not about groundhogs -- it's about the Moles of the Linden Department of Public Works!<br />
<br />
Initially honored in 2010 by Residents of Bay City, Mole Day is set aside to show appreciation for The Moles and their many contributions to Bay City and the rest of the Second Life™ Grid.<br />
<br />
This year’s annual Mole Day will again take place at the Bay City Fairgrounds (<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/North%20Channel/104/134/29">SLurl</a>) February 2nd commencing at 5:00 p.m. SLT. The event will feature DJ GoSpeed Racer of KONA stream followed by Marky Helstein performing live at 6:00 p.m. SLT.<br />
<br />
"Moles" are members of The Linden Department of Public Works (LDPW). The LDPW is a program focused on improvements related to the experience of living on, or visiting the Linden Mainland. The LDPW organizes teams of Resident builders, artists, and scripters (the Moles!) to create new content on Linden Lab's behalf and to the benefit of all. These Residents have the last name “Mole.”<br />
<br />
Moles essentially build all of the grid’s infrastructure: the public roads and railways, items in our coastal waterways and protected lands, and even larger scale projects like the Linden Homes regions, premium content and experiences, and much more.<br />
<br />
Bay City is a mainland community, developed by Linden Lab® and home to the Bay City Alliance. The Bay City Alliance was founded in 2008 to promote the Bay City regions of Second Life and provide a venue for Bay City Residents and other interested parties to socialize and network. It is now the largest group for Residents of Bay City.<br />
<br />
For more information, or to participate in the event, please contact <a href="mailto:marianne.mccann@gmail.com">Marianne McCann</a>.<br />

With a good ground texture plus access to the ocean and a Linden road this seemed like a really good place to buy. However it suffers from Mainland diversity. Sure, I'm a champion of Mainland and the craziness which it generates, but I have to admit that my land is surrounded by nice neighbors with good taste in what they put on their land. Not so with the land heretofore mentioned.<br />
<br />

<br />
On one side, as pictured above, is a sex club (Zindra, remember) with excessively large Full Bright signs, some in neon. The structure itself is fairly tasteful. The interior is very poorly put together, but you don't have to go look. If I drop my draw distance from 128m to 64m most of the building would disappear from this vantage point, but that's not a solution. It gets worse to the south.<br />
<br />
That land across the road is a series of unfinished sky platforms and terrible fireworks 24/7 regardless of the day cycle. The latter I could live with. Not the sky platforms. They are more disruptive to the experience than are the bright signs on the other lot.<br />
<br />
Mainland needs some regulation and I strongly feel that this would improve the Resident experience and possibly save Mainland, bringing in more revenue for The Lab. It has been done before. That his how Zindra was created. The Lab came along and told people "If you have adult activities such as sex clubs, shops with pornographic images, or other such content, you need to move to this new continent." To aid the mandatory move, The Lab swapped out land anywhere in SL with new land in Zindra. Early adopters and volunteers to go first got some favorable swaps. Others were simply forced.<br />
<br />
A similar move could be done to separate residential and commercial land. I don't want my home next to a huge department store and I sure don't want my scenic landscaping next to Full Bright signs advertising boobs. Mind you, I like boobs, but sometimes it is better to conceal to reveal. To paraphrase the real estate mantra, "Atmosphere! Atmosphere! Atmosphere!" Harmonious districting of land would let those who wish to have attractive homes cluster together and set all the commercial properties together so shoppers and clubbers wouldn't have to wander all over for their needs.Uccie Poultryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09178175329505910226noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146061884892385526.post-26604295998118963242015-01-20T16:10:00.004-05:002015-01-20T16:10:49.932-05:00First Topless Tuesday of 2015<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
Don't adjust your sets. <a href="https://my.secondlife.com/cc.columbo/">CC Columbo</a> is, indeed, orange. Thank the saints that our Irish-Catholic father can't see this. Coming back from visiting mom in Hospital today I took a wee nap after enjoying a Double Whopper and small fries and CC was at the computer. When I woke up, I found him tweaking his SLink hands and ears to match his new skin. Why the change, you might ask?<br />
<br />

<br />
No change, really. This is the CC Columbo that I met up with when I logged into the Main Grid for the first time at very nearly the same spot in Nangrim. He was orange, wearing women's hair from <a href="https://my.secondlife.com/mya.heaney">Juicy La Jolla</a>, free Linden clothes, and a dragon from Wynx Whiplash. This was known as his Eddie Izzard Period. Shortly after this picture was taken he transferred the dragon to me, gave me L$2000, gave me 16m<sup>2</sup> of land, and sent me off into the world.<br />
<br />
As you can see, he's got a new(er) dragon, better clothes, men's hair, and that new orange skin. Same old CC, though. Best. Brother.

<br />
"<i>Share an image of your Second Life avatar smiling for a yearbook photo</i>" (orignal post <a href="http://strawberrysingh.com/2015/01/05/second-life-yearbook-smile-challenge/">here</a>).<br />
<br />
I decided to re-create my high school senior yearbook photo but thought "maybe I should't post a blank image." Since 5th grade my picture never appeared in school publications because I always refused to participate. Starting in 8th grade we all had to have our photos taken for security reasons. Sure, years after I was kidnapped,* they wanted a photo. Locking the school door after the fire started, I guess, or something like that. We all needed photos.<br />
<br />
In my senior year we were all to go to a studio in town for those really nice formal sittings that seniors get, but since I wasn't going to do that I had to line up with the 11th graders and let the visiting photographer snap a pic and try to talk me into getting those cheesy portrait packs to give copies to friends and relatives. Didn't happen. It is very rare I even appear in the family photo album. One of the reasons I got a camera was so I could be behind it.<br />
<br />
The funny part is, my senior picture got lost. The guy couldn't handle the concept of separating it from the juniors sets and managed to separate me all the way to the cutting room floor. So what I re-created for here is more or less what I looked like at the time. Set your Way Back Machines® for 2006.<br />

You can't see it from here, but my hair was down to my butt. I wore the cheapest eyeglass frames possible, no makeup, and the only clean hoodie I had. In Real Life it was a zip-up bright green one whereas all my usual ones were dark colors. Sorry, but this one is blue. One of my many Disney t-shirts capped the outfit. Jewelry? I owned one necklace and no earrings. Since people could grab you by the necklace, I almost never wore it.<br />
<br />
The photographer often commented "I'm glad you unzipped your jacket" while constantly leering at my chest and trying to take a few shots with my torso showing. One of his really nice Broncolor lights met an untimely death "by accident" while I was zipping my hoodie on my way off the auditorium stage where the pix were being taken. Oops. Maybe the most expensive leering he's done, I'm sure. At least he didn't cop a feel or I would have heard what a Mamiya 645 sounded like when hitting the hardwood.<br />
<br />
Second Life should have a yearbook because every Profile photo is a special statement. Sometime when you are bored, perv some profiles and I think you'l agree.<br />

Bay City is one again preparing for their annual "Prim Drop" on 31st December, with festivities commencing at 11:30 pm SLT. Festivities will take place at the Bay City Fairground in North Channel (<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/North%20Channel/105/128/29">SLurl</a>) with a brief music set presented by Marianne McCann as well as fireworks and other fun. Food and drink will be provided.<br />
<br />
The event is themed as an outdoor, wintertime soirée, and black tie attire is recommended. Nevertheless, all Second Life® Residents are welcome to attend and mingle with Bay City's high society.<br />
<br />
This will also be the last event in Bay City this year for donating to Child's Play Charity (<a href="http://www.childsplaycharity.org/">www.childsplaycharity.org</a>). Child's Play is a 501c3 non profit organization offers online communities such as ours an opportunity to help seriously ill children around the globe during their hospital stays with the purchase of games and gaming equipment.<br />
<br />
<b>As of the 24th of December, Bay City has raised a staggering L$355,273 for Child's Play Charity through their annual silent auction and tree lighting concert, a Christmas tree sale, and other events</b> (emphasis added).<br />
<br />
Bay City is a mainland community, developed by Linden Lab® and home to the Bay City Alliance. The Bay City Alliance was founded in 2008 to promote the Bay City regions of Second Life and provide a venue for Bay City Residents and other interested parties to socialize and network. It is now the largest group for Residents of Bay City.<br />

<br />
Readers of this blog probably remember that Christmas 2013 was Ever's last with her friends and family in Our World and in Real Life so they probably can imagine that this holiday season is that much less festive without her. It was also last year that Ever let me post a copy of <a href="http://poultryreport.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-visit-from-rodvik-with-apologies-to.html">her special adaptation</a> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Visit_from_St._Nicholas">"A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore</a>. I ran across it the other day and thought of sending a copy to the Bay City Alliance group (and still might) but after talking with a few people I thought it would be okay to freshen Ever's work a little to reflect the changes in Second Life over the last year. So here goes ...<br />
<br />
<b>A Visit from St. Ebbe </b><br />
<br />
Twas the night before Christmas and all thro' the lot,<br />
Not a creature on radar not even a bot.<br />
The stockings were rezzed by the chimney with care,<br />
In hopes that St. Ebbe soon would be there.<br />
The moles were nestled all snug in their dens,<br />
While visions of mesh danc'd in their heads.<br />
<br />
My alt, who was ruthed, and I in bald cap,<br />
Were just logging off for a long restart's nap.<br />
When out on the sculpty lawn there arose such a clatter,<br />
I stood from my totally G-rated bed (“honest”) to see who was griefing with pixellated matter!<br />
<br />
Away to the teleport I flew like a flash,<br />
Clicked on my mini map, and waited to crash.<br />
I turned up my draw distance and opened an AR,<br />
With graphics on high I could really cam far.<br />
When what to my V3.67891-2a did soon rez,<br />
But a sleigh full of prims and eight noobs (one wearing a fez)<br />
<br />
With a prim-endowed driver, probably named Luv4Debbie,<br />
I knew in a moment it must be St. Ebbe.<br />
More rabid than vampires his coursers they came,<br />
And he gestured, and shouted, and call'd them by name:<br />
"Now! dasher101 now! dancer22 now! prancertheromancer13 and hotchickvixen24<br />
"On! cometcutie92 on! cupid4U69 on! donder95 and blitzenishawt;<br />
<br />
"To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!<br />
"Now animate! Animate! Animate all!"<br />
So up to the skybox the coursers they flew,<br />
With the sleigh full of premium gifts — and St. Ebbe too:<br />
And then in a frame, I heard on the roof<br />
The freebie clicky heels of each little goof.<br />
As I opened my pan zoom, and was camming around,<br />
Down the teleport St. Ebbe rezzed with a bound:<br />
<br />
A new shopping bag was rezzed on his head,<br />
And he look'd like a newbie confused and full of dread:<br />
He was skinny and tall, sliders raised to the max,<br />
And I activated my laugh gesture, then waited for rez of my new mesh slacks;<br />
A wink of his eye, wow he must have a face animation<br />
Made me wonder if I 'd be better off gaming on Playstation.<br />
<br />
Not a chat or IM, he went straight to his work,<br />
And rezzed freebie crap all over; wow what a jerk,<br />
And after his avatar had seemingly froze<br />
He walked into a wall, then up the teleport he rose.<br />
He sat on his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,<br />
And away they all flew, like the down of a thistle:<br />
But I then heard him shout, ere he drove off the sim,<br />
"Happy Second Life to all, don't leave for Skyrim!"<br />
<br />

<br />
Hot on the heels of a spectacular re-dressing of the Linden Portal Park for Halloween, The Lab has let it snow, let it snow, let it snow (<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LR%20Portal%20Park1/130/128/23">SLurl</a>). The whole region has been draped in the cold stuff and accented with some of the best decorations from Resident creators and some great stuff from the Linden Department of Public Works (LDPW) Moles. The latter's wicked sense of humor can be found everywhere you look, too.<br />

Of course The Grid Hunt area was snowy, but the current snow fall hit every corner off the region. Check out these pictures:<br />

Speaking of Wonderlands ... the Halloween area is gone, obviously, but the Winder Wonderland area is still blocked off. With a little Resident magic (a firm Page Up smack and a bit of Up Arrow) I was able to get a sneak(y) peak at what lies beyond the fence.<br />

<br />
Fifth tree lighting raises an amazing L$277,371 for charity<br />
<br />
BAY CITY, SL (7th November, 2014) - The annual Tree Lighting event held by the Bay City Alliance on Saturday, 6th December 2013 was a huge success, with the silent auction raising a whopping L$159,271. This, coupled with donations into the bins of L$43,100 gives the event a grand total on the day of L$202.371, and a new record for the event. Another large donation on the 7th raised the total up to L$277,371.<br />
<br />
The winning bids are displayed at the Bay City Fairgrounds in in North Channel (<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/North%20Channel/128/128/24/">SLurl</a>), and the donation bins are still out an active at that location for additional late donations until the 1st of January. A lighted boat parade and skate party, as well as the New Year's Eve Prim Drop, are still forthcoming at the venue this holiday season.<br />
<br />
All proceeds from the silent auction and from donation bins will go to <a href="http://www.childsplay.org/">Child's Play Charity</a>. Child's Play is a 501c3 non profit organization offers online communities such as ours an opportunity to help seriously ill children around the globe during their hospital stays with the purchase of games and gaming equipment.<br />
<br />
The Bay City Alliance wishes to thank all of those who donated goods and services to the auction: Vick Forcella, Robin Sojourner, Flowey, Pygar Bu, Whiskey Monday, Uccello Poultry, Benjamin Wahl, Zen Creations, %Percent, Lightning Video, Echelon Sands, ADudeNamed Anthony, and Black Tulip, as well as Apple Fall for their generation Linden donation.<br />
<br />
Thanks also to our performers, Beth Odets, Christov Kohnke, and GoSpeed Racer of KONA Stream, Marianne McCann for organizing the event, Kinnaird and Rachel Seelowe for helping arrange for donation items, to Kriss Lehmann of Botanical for providing the tree and lights, residents of Bay City for their tree ornaments, and finally, thanks to to each of you who donated, participated in the silent auction, and came out today to participate!<br />
<br />
Bay City is a mainland community, developed by Linden Lab® and home to the Bay City Alliance. The Bay City Alliance was founded in 2008 to promote the Bay City regions of Second Life and provide a venue for Bay City Residents and other interested parties to socialize and network. It is now the largest group for Residents of Bay City.<br />
