Jack Slade with a voice that is so smooth!
This was such a delight to find the talent that is still in SL. Jack doesn’t sing with backing tracks. He sings with a smooth even tone. From Bob Seger, Harry Chapin, Gordon Lightfoot, to Leonard Cohen. HAHA! I just found out his nickname is Jack Buttahh Slade. That is how smooth his voice is.
If you want a very mellow, easy to just close your eyes and lose yourself in then this man can do it. His playlist is hugeeeeeeeeee, He not only sings covers but has many originals as well. He takes requests and he delivers.
We were going there for 15 minutes and an hour later we are still dancing and listening. Then I knew I had to do this mini-blog. Look him up or contact his manager/wife ‘Miss Lou Slade’.
I shall be involved in an event in the future and plan to invite him to sing! Stay tuned for more information on that!!
Relay For Life is the signature event of the American Cancer Society and has been active, and continually growing in Second Life for 6 years. In 2005, the first Relay For Life of Second Life (RFL of SL) was attended by a few hundred avatars and raised almost $5,000 US dollars for the American Cancer Society. In 2009 the Relay For Life of Second Life raised over $250,000.00 US dollars and was attended by thousands of avatars. In 2010 the Relay For Life of Second Life raised over $220,000. We ran right past the $1,000,000 mark during our 2011 campaign!
Relay Weekend is a fun-filled, overnight event that unites SL individuals throughout the world to celebrate survivors (anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer), remember loved ones and raise money for the fight against cancer.

This past year it seems we have been hit with so many natural disasters. We have been asked time and time again to reach into our pockets and GIVE. To the point that we want to cry and say STOP. Well, I wish that were the case here and now……but it is not. I am asking again
As most of you know who read this blog, SL Home and Garden Expo ended the weekend before last. During the time of the expo, I had the opportunity to work closely with, and to get to know this amazing person. A person who gives so much of herself that at the end of the day she literally falls into bed exhausted. Who works almost year round to successfully raise funds for RFL. Such is her belief in what she does. Not only does SHE do this, her son walks in her footsteps. So let me introduce you to Nikki Mathieson, oh yes and you may remember (or not) an interview I did with her son Damian Carbenell a few months ago.
Joplin on the map
Please, meet them, and meet Joplin —
Joplin is a city in southern Jasper County and northern Newton County in the southwestern corner of the U.S. state of Missouri. Joplin is the largest city in Jasper County, though it is not the county seat. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 50,150. In 2009, the surrounding Metropolitan Statistical Area had an estimated population of 174,300.
On May 22, 2011, Joplin was struck by an extremely powerful EF-5 tornado, resulting in at least 142 deaths and more than 900 injuries, along with major damage to numerous houses and businesses, St. John’s Medical Center, and multiple school buildings.
