WINTER IS COMING! A year long series of book discussions covering the much loved and highly acclaimed series from George RR Martin "A Song of Fire and Ice"

If you have not treated yourself to this fantastic series, I can not recomend it highly enough. If you start now, you still have time to read the first book and the first third of the second book. Join us to talk about your favorite characters, plot twists and predictions!

Saturday February 7th 3-4pm slt
Winterfell Palace Library, Winterfell Taure En Lor

Join us as we begin a three part discussion of "A Clash of Kings," book two in the "Song of Ice & Fire" series by author George R.R. Martin. This is a great time to jump into the series, and spreading the discussion over three dates means you don't have to have read the entire book by March 7. If you like adventure, suspense, a whisper of magic and drama, you will thoroughly enjoy this tale set in a mythical medieval country. George R.R. Martin has a huge group of loyal fans, and it's easy to see why once you begin reading his books.

I have been listening to this music stream for a couple days now, I really like it. The station breaks are a bit silly, but the music is top notch!

I really hate the fact that to 90% of the world "gothic" is synonymous with fetish crazed vamp whores - but really, with that all said, the music played is wonderfully suited for the mind set of Winterfell

Nation, by Terry Prachett
Come join us at the Winterfell Library, at 12 Noon, Sunday the 14th December, 2008 to discuss this interesting new book!

From the author widely known for his Discworld series, Nation is something new and stands alone in it's own universe. A non-Discworld novel that Terry said he felt he had to write over the last few years. Such a departure from the expected continuation of the Discworld related "Tiffany Aching" series has already caused some serious deliberation and discussion about the book without even looking at its content.

Opinions seem very polarized, and I feel that those familiar with Pratchett's works will have a lot to say about how it differs from the usual. However the book, while written in a Pratchett style is something apart, and has a timeless depth to it. Those who have never read a Pratchett book before will really enjoy this one, and need no introduction to any of his other work beforehand, and be able to add some great insights into his writing from a fresh perspective.

The book starts out in the Pelagic Ocean Islands and follows the course of a young Islander boy, a young English lady of noble birth and their attempt to cope with the devastating effects of the tidal wave that brings them together. As the survivors come together on the island, a great many questions arise, and not just about where the next meal is coming from. Many of the people wonder why the gods allowed this to happen, and there is a real depth to the questions that Pratchett's characters ask in this book as they seek to rebuild a Nation.

Come join us at the Winterfell Library, at 12 Noon, Sunday the 14th December, 2008 to discuss this interesting new book!

Final count for the 2008 Boobie Ball :

$L247,903 after being matched by both Eva and myself that's $L743,709 or over $2,700 USD!! raised for breast cancer research!

This event was such a thrilling and rewarding event for Eva and myself, that we will be doing the Boobie Ball again next year as well as forming a "Saving Second Base" SL RFL team and sim.

So to that end, I have started up a group called "Saving Second Base" there is a 100L membership fee, but all money raised from membership fees will be donated to breast cancer research. Please consider joining the group to help us make these events as successful as they can be, or to simply show your support for this very important cause!

Humbly yours,
Miss Serra Anansi, Senecshelf of Winterfell and Her Grace, Eva, Duchess of Loch Avie

Starting October 5th, every other Sunday at 3pm SLT I will be hosting a Winterfell Campfire talk.

This is open to all of Winterfell residents, Winterfell Community, and anyone else that hears about it and wants to come.

This will be a town hall of sorts so bring any Winterfell related questions, concerns or ideas you have!

Boobies. Breasts. TaTas.

They are called many things and although they come in all shapes and sizes (large, small, saggy and perky), they have one thing in common: The ability to develop cancer.

Even though there is no cure yet, the annual Blogger Boobie-Thon is doing its part to make cancer a thing of the past. As she has for the past 3 years, Her Grace of Loch Avie's human will take part in this event.

www.boobiethon.com

During the first week of October people from across the globe can submit pictures of bare and covered breasts to raise money for breast cancer causes.

Founded in 2002 by Florida blogger Robyn Pollman (www.shutterblog.com,) the Boobie-Thon has grown into a well-known event, raising tens of thousands for breast cancer and blogger-charity causes, with over 1500 people contributing pictures. The Susan G. Koman Foundation has, in the past, been the largest recipient of the funds.

Both founders and participants are hoping to generate exposure and donations for a worthy cause.

Males and females can submit pictures of their breasts. The covered boobies are featured on the free area of the site. The price of viewing the bare breasts is $50.

Come join Eva Bellambi and me as we host the first ever Boobie Ball. This will be held in Winterfell at the Taure En Lor Ballroom on October 4th, noon to 2pm SLT. This is not a formal event. Please just come ready to have some fun and be generous with your Lindens.

Wear Pink if you like, and you may dance topless if you dare, in honor of the breasts and lives we are working to save.

There will be donation kiosks and vendors with items for sale. All proceeds will be donated to BoobieThon.com during their annual campaign. Miss Serra and Miss Eva will match all donations. So come see your donation to this worthy cause tripled.

Donations will be listed on the site as coming from Winterfell and Caledon's Boobie Ball.

Please contact Eva Ballambi or me if you have any questions.

I finally gave into my itchy building finger and have started a rebuild of the village and palace in the heart of Winterfell. Because this its been eight whole months since I did any revamping and I feel this build is a bit more special than anything else I have done, I will be having a huge reopening party!

Music and entertainment provided by Gabrielle Riel of Radio Riel.

Prizes and trivia and other nonsense provided by little ol' me and my W.I.C.K.E.D.team.

Please stop by August 23rd 2pm - 4pm SLT and help me bless the new village and palace with good cheer!
