Movie: Robin Hood

Release Date: 14 May 2010 (USA)

Runtime: 134 min



Birth of a legend.

Following King Richard's death in France, archer Robin Longstride, along with Will Scarlett, Alan-a-Dale and Little John, returns to England. They encounter the dying Robert of Locksley, whose party was ambushed by treacherous Godfrey, who hopes to facilitate a French invasion of England. Robin promises the dying knight he will return his sword to his father Walter in Nottingham. Here Walter encourages him to impersonate the dead man to prevent his land being confiscated by the crown, and he finds himself with Marian, a ready-made wife. Hoping to stir baronial opposition to weak King John and allow an easy French take-over, Godfrey worms his way into the king's service as Earl Marshal of England and brutally invades towns under the pretext of collecting Royal taxes. Can Robin navigate the politics of barons, royals, traitors, and the French?



All show times are in sl time.



There are 46 minutes between when the movie ends and the next begins so you have plenty of time if you are late but try not to be more than 40 minutes late if you want to be sure of seeing it all :). The reason there is so much time between show times is because the movie is so long. This way if you need to stand and do something in rl, you need only press pause in your viewer (NOT on the tv in world), go do what you need to do, return and press play again to pick up where you left off. This allows you plenty of time to see the entire movie :). (be sure you are pressing pause and not stop or you will have to start viewering the movie from the beginning again!!!)



The Show Times Are (subject to change according to attendance):



5:00am - 7:14am



8:00am - 10:14am



11:00am - 1:14pm



2:00pm - 4:14pm



5:00pm - 7:14pm



8:00pm - 10:14pm



11:00pm - 1:14am



After this it gets hazy. Unless we can find someone who's time zones match it's catch as catch can. the dvd will be placed beside the tv and all you must do is click it and click play from the drop down menu. if someone is already there watching, then you should be able to just click play on your own viewer and it will start to play for you since the movie is already in motion. it's when the movie has ended that it won't start.



Please remember that, unless you are here when start the movie (Phoenix viewer and some others), the movie will not automatically start as soon as you land. Viewer 2 users MUST press play even if you are here when when I start the movie. The play button for Phoenix and some other viewers is on the bottom right of your screen next to what looks like a small movie camera. If you are in viewer 2 and don't know how to play just the media without the music on the land playing at well: To play media (movie) only, go to the play/pause icon next to the speaker icon on the top right of your viewer. Hover the mouse over the icon and select "More" from the menu that comes up. There stop all but "Parcel streaming media" use this to play and pause the movie as well. Rember though regardless of what you do here the movie will restart when the next show time hits. So please becarfull not to pause to long.

You MUST have the most current version of Quicktime for media to work!!!

If you teleport out, you will have to start the movie over again when you get back! It's not like a dvd player. You can't pick up where you left off, so unless it's super important, stay put. If you MUST leave, might as well come back at the next showtime :).



Movie day is not just for our family members! Feel free to pass this notecard on to your friends or bring your friends along with you :).

Movie: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Release Date: 1 July 2010 (USA)
Runtime: 103 min

The world is divided into four kingdoms, each represented by the element they harness, and peace has lasted throughout the realms of Water, Air, Earth, and Fire under the supervision of the Avatar, a link to the spirit world and the only being capable of mastering the use of all four elements. When young Avatar Aang disappears, the Fire Nation launches an attack to eradicate all members of the Air Nomads to prevent interference in their future plans for world domination. 100 years pass and current Fire Lord Ozai continues to conquer and imprison anyone with elemental "bending" abilities in the Earth and Water Kingdoms, while siblings Katara and Sokka from a Southern Water Tribe find a mysterious boy trapped beneath the ice outside their village. Upon rescuing him, he reveals himself to be Aang, Avatar and last of the Air Nomads. Swearing to protect the Avatar, Katara and Sokka journey with him to the Northern Water Kingdom in his quest to master "Waterbending" and eventually fulfill his destiny of once again restoring peace to the world. But as they inch nearer to their goal, the group must evade Prince Zuko, the exiled son of Lord Ozai, Commander Zhao, the Fire Nation's military leader, and the tyrannical onslaught of the evil Fire Lord himself.

Today starting at 3pm we will have 3 different amazing musisans performing. For those of you who came to our Fall of the Year ~ Festival Samhain you know just what sort of a treat you are in for.

3pm - 4pm - Zachh Cale

Zachh sings songs in a mashup style of pop, classical, soul, jazz and new age. Schooled in classical piano, he later learned to play more by ear, sing in a more soulful manner, and trust his musical "gut."


Now he blends both traditional and popular approaches to composition and performance. The result is a fresh and varied combination of melodies, rhythms, and arrangements which he hopes stimulates both hearts and minds of listeners.

He also writes music for solo piano. Come hear for yourself!

4pm - 5pm - Moss

Mordewis Greymyst (Moss Bliss IRL) has been playing guitar badly since 1964 and has been known to sing passably. He has written a few award-winning songs (no, not Grammys), but mostly finds and performs rare and/or forgotten songs that are known only to die-hard folk musicians with ears for lyrical excellence. His performances are largely reserved for Science Fiction conventions and Pagan gatherings, where he breaks out the songs he is too embarrassed to play elsewhere. He lives in Sevierville TN USA with his four guitars, two housemates, three snakes, and four cats, and is very happy. He is also Senior Editor for a couple of small ePublishers, a Peer Support Specialist and mental health civil rights activist, and so many other differing endeavors it is hard for him to get around to music.


5pm - 6pm - The Jubilatores (Pavel Snowfield)

The Jubilatores perform medieval music from England, Spain, France, Italy, Germany and a few other countries in Europe.

Instruments include: Lute, oud, saz (guitarra Saricina), citol (guitarra latina), rebec, fyddle, psaltry, dulcimer, harp, jaw harp, drums of various types including riq, tar, dumbec, portitive organ, virginals, transverse flutes, recorders, dulcian, reed pipe, symphnoium/organistrum (hurdy gurdy), medieval bell, zills, Tombra mariana, gems horn, and various other instruments.


Come out and enjoy a great show!

Movie: Avatar

Release Date: 18 December 2009 (USA)
Runtime: 155 min
Part 1 - 75 min
Part 2 - 80 min

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.

All show times are in sl time. Because this is such a long movie, it's presented in two parts (this wasn't my idea, it's how the sl dvd is set up). As such, I will break up the show times into the two parts to allow more leaway for those who arrive a few minutes late or find they don't have time to finish the second part but can return for the second part later. It also gives you a brief intermission between parts to get up, get drinks, and other things before the next part so you dont miss anything (and with this particular movie, you REALLY don't want to miss anything!).

There is a 15 minute intermission between parts 1 and 2 and there is 10 minutes between when part 2 ends and the next beginning of part 1 starts. so all in all try not to be more than 10 minutes late for either part!

The Show Times Are:

Part 1~ 5:00am - 6:15am

Part 2~ 6:30am - 7:50am



Part 1~8:00am - 9:15am

Part 2~ 9:30am - 10:50am



Part 1~11:00am - 12:15pm

Part 2~ 12:30pm - 1:50pm



Part 1~2:00pm - 3:15pm

Part 2~ 3:30pm - 4:50pm



Part 1~5:00pm - 6:15pm

Part 2~ 6:30pm - 7:50pm



Part 1~8:00pm - 9:15pm

Part 2~ 9:30pm - 10:50pm



Part 1~11:00pm - 12:15am

Part 2~ 12:30am - 1:50am

We had such a great time with our Festival and I want to say thank you to all the performers, photographers, and general visiters and participants that made it great! And a super huge thanks to Lady Aianna Oh herself who made it all possible with her hard work!

We would love to continue to have events for our friends and family thought the year not just at our festivals and your feed back can help us in planing those as well as in making our next festival even better.

If you or your friends took any pictures of the festival please e-mail them to Alurel.kingdom@gmail.com or send them in world to Cali Ciaco so that we can share them here on the blog.

We would also love to start publishing poems, short stories, or real in world stories about your experiances in Alurel. If you are interested in sharing some of your work here please send it through e-mail or in a note card just as you would the pictures.

As autumn progresses you will start to see bare trees and browning leaves, which we will begin to clear away in preparation for winter. We hope you continue to enjoy the our forest as the chill gets deeper.

The Winner of the Alurel in Autumn Seasonal Photo competition was Emmaline Pizzaro with her self portrait entitled Autumn Flight submitted in the Amateur portrait category.
The runners up in professional were all by Butterfly Laa who received the most votes in all three categories. None of the pictures were titled.

The submissions are in and sorted and posted. It looks like a lot of hard work went into these pictures as all of them are wonderful. Please stop by the Performance Pavillion and vote for your favorate in each catigory.

To vote for a picture you simply need to click it so be careful not to click the wrong one.

as a reminder the catoigories are:

Landscape: This shows the land and houses of Alurel.

Life: This shows the goings on of Alurel, more journalistic in nature it is not a posed portrait shot.

Portrait: a picture of one or more people deliberatly set up to capture there image and a little something about them.

There are 27 pumpkins scattered about the sim, most will be in plain or nearly plain sight. (Hope you don't mind getting a little wet!) But there are Ten that we took extra care in hiding, these may be smaller than the others so look clostly. We have given you a nudge in the right Direction with the poem below, read through it and when you are walking about to find the others if you see a place that looks like what the hint is refering to take a little extra time there.

Please do note that the houses are privately owned and so you will find no pumpkins hidden in the houses just around them. Also there will be nothing above the cloud line.

Congradulations Blog readers! You get Bonus Hints at the end of this post!


The Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats




1 Where dips the ROCKY highland

Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,

2 There lies a leafy ISLAND

Where flapping herons wake

The drowsy water rats;


3 There we've hid our FAERY vats,

Full of berrys

And of reddest stolen cherries.

Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

4 Where the wave of moonlight glosses

The dim gray SANDS with light,

Far off by furthest Rosses



5 We foot it all the night,

Weaving olden DANCES

Mingling hands and mingling glances



6 Till the MOON has taken flight;

To and fro we leap

And chase the frothy bubbles,

While the world is full of troubles

And anxious in its sleep.

Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.



7 Where the wandering WATER GUSHES

FROM THE HILLS above Glen-Car,

In pools among the rushes

That scarce could bathe a star,



8 We seek for SLUMBERING TROUT

And whispering in their ears

Give them unquiet dreams;

Leaning softly out



9 From ferns that DROP THEIR TEARS

OVER THE YOUNG STREAMS

Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.



Away with us he's going,

The solemn-eyed:

He'll hear no more the lowing



10 Of the calves on the warm HILLSIDE

Or the kettle on the hob

Sing peace into his breast,

Or see the brown mice bob

Round and round the oatmeal chest.

For he comes, the human child,

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than he can understand.

 
 
 
BONUS HINTS:
 
1 Dragons will hide their treasure in a cave.

 A pianist and songwriter, Heath gained some influences from some great performers, notably Jim Brickman, Yanni, David Lanz, Billy Joel, Marc Cohen, and Bruce Hornsby. Though some of Heath's playing style could be attributed to these influences, his style is a combination of New Age and Contemporary musical genres that stands on its own.
