For those of you looking for a stunning waterfall ranch location, I am about to release one here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Aunt Maudie/157/24/25
I ticketed it the day it was released and had it for about 5 months now. I guess I have gotten too used to the Meds color scheme and dont enjoy the green green ranches as much anymore, so I am gonna release it at 7 AM SLT (in 1/2 hour). You can ticket it or roll for it if you want it.

I have some GREAT NEWS for those of you who have been wanting a pier or water stilt.. LL has just released a bunch of Pier Stilts and also a few Water Stilts. There are currently 5 water stilts available and 57 Pier stilts available!!!
It has been a very long time since there has been a large selection of the stilts that have guaranteed water. This is very exciting!

kittycats are not animesh or they would be at least 32 LI... maybe they are sculpties?
-
I did not gain much either at my PP home. I think that is because a lot of my mesh is unlinked 1 LI pieces and a rezzed object will never be less than 1 LI. (They were the type that were like 1.4 LI each and if you liked two the LI went from 2 to 3, so I left them unlinked). I was a bit surprised/disappointed that my mesh kittycats did not go down at all in LI.. still 13 LI each (52 for the allowed 4 out at once). Maybe those cats aren't mesh?
Surprisingly some of my linked non-mesh prims when up .. e.g., 6 box prims linked together used to be 3 LI and now they are 4.

Here is a better view of the new beautiful landscaping visible in the distance from my back yard:

a big THANK YOU to the hardworking moles for the beautiful decorations along the Mediterranean coast. My "dream" location is a house with a lake right next to the back yard flowing to a narrow strip of land with a road, and then a cove with open ocean.
I was delighted when I logged on this morning to discover that the bit with land between me and the ocean had been landscaped ... what a beautiful view this has created for me from my back yard!

if you have just gone premium plus, you most likely want to move from your previous belli home to either a Ranch or a Mediterranean. In either case, the houses are different than whatever you had as a premium member. Your best bet is to pick up furniture room by room, and maybe put each room in a separate subfolder so you can easily find it to arrange in the corresponding room of the new house.
Nika did a good job summarizing the two ways to get a home. The thing to remember on the premium plus homes is that everyone has the same ability to ticket a desirable location, so you may not get the one you want... someone may beat you to it. For that reason it is good to list multiple choices on a ticket.. you are only allowed 3 tickets for every 30 days. So do something like 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd choice, 4th choice.
Or you can log on to the land page and choose a theme. If you dont like the location they give you, you can always abandon it and choose another one. You get up to 5 choices every 24 hours. At the moment as I write this, there are 39 ranch homes and 47 mediterranean homes available. That is a lot of places, so hopefully you will land a location you like within your first day's allotted tries (we call them "rolls").
Good Luck. I hope you find a place you love.

maybe it was your ISP .. .I was there earlier today with about 25 other people in the area, and I experienced no noticeable lag.

Of course, if one were to run along to Swordfish and inspect the furnishings of the Parade of Homes office, they might be able to ascertain some members for themselves.
(Not flaming, not name-calling, merely trying to correct some earlier misinformation.)
That is one way to do it. Perhaps an even easier way is to go to the BBB HQ and look at the online indicators for the team members. They are all over the HQ in plain sight. There was never any attempt to conceal who the team is or what we do.
Another way to do it would be to look at the short team bios .. a link to the team members it is posted on the sidebar of the Gazette.
I am a member of the BBB team. My job is that I write articles for the Gazette and write the Parade of Homes Blog. I also help occasionally with generic questions about passports but I dont issue passports or passport stamp terminals, nor do I invite people to the BBBug group.

I thought there was a post somewhere announcing that there is a special sandbox where you can rezz a Belli home, so you could then rezz objects inside like furniture etc. to plan or see how it works out before choosing a home theme (I know about the demo areas, I'm not referring to that). But I can't find anywhere like that - I've checked the sandbox at the Belli Hub but it doesn't have anywhere within that to do it (that I could see).
Am I mis-remembering a post, or is this possible somewhere?
your post raises an interesting idea... maybe it would be helpful if the moles put a teleport to (or maybe a LM giver) to that sandbox at BelliHub. If you had trouble finding it, it is likely that other people will too.

This thread accuses the BBB of doing something horrible -- spending a year working hard to organize/prepare an big event for all Bellisserians (... actually for all SL residents....) to celebrate Bellisseria's fifth anniversary. Such a crime! how dare they give hours and hours and hours of their time and effort for a whole year to organize this??? Perhaps we should hang the B*stards!
Except...
As it turns out, the BBB is not organizing this -- it is organized by seven people (listed above in Prudence Anton's Post). Not a single one of them is a member of the BBB.
Putting sarcasm aside, I would like to thank each of the seven committee members for all their work. I look forward to Belli's milestone anniversary and I am grateful that a big fun event is being organized to allow us to celebrate it together.

ATM There are still 28 Meds available. They must be reaching the point where they are meeting demand now, cuz they only moved 30 of them in a week.

Unless you want us to go back to not allowing access to live built regions before they are finished you all might want to wait before you start picking it apart in your rush to announce your reviews and list your complaints.
If I may make a comment... I live on Ouranios along the river and I love how you extended the river behind my house out to the ocean when you added Lobster Bisque and Cougar Den regions.
Great work!

As long as we are talking about SLCE (SL Community Exhibition) at WelcomeHub, I would like to invite you to the new BBB booth there. The goal is to help newcomer retention by giving them a fun way to explore several parts of SL (by collecting passport stamps).
35 different people have already visited this BBB booth, and it is only a few days old. So apparently, some people do still visit SLCE

Here is part four of a series on Mediterraneans:
Landscaping a Mediterranean Home –Part 4 Revisiting An Earlier Design
This article talks about ways to upgrade or enhance a landscaping you have already done. Specifically, it looks at the landscaping in Article 1 of this series and gives details on how it was upgraded to look even nicer. You can apply these same principles to your own yard (whether or not it is a Mediterranean).

I am currently trying out fantasseria, and have worked out a deal* with my brain to let the landscape make sense, and under those new circumstances the place is actually quite beautiful.
So what I was wondering, is if anybody noticed if the number of available fantasy homes changed after the treehouses were released?
I'm talking later on than the novelty rush stage.
If there was no real long term change then this could affect how the Moles think about, say, adding new home styles to the Log Sub-continent.
* The deal is that Raspberry is renting a property in Norfolk. She has always wanted to go there and sail a boat on the broads (canals). Once arrived the place is a little different to her expectations, but the Edwardian style home is lovely, the land is as flat as she might expect, and she thinks that maybe that mushroom omelette she ate at a motorway service station on the way down has given her a visual migraine.I think the treehouses are both brilliant and fantastic. I upped an alt to premium to get one and kept it for a few months. But my brain goes tilt in the beautiful but visually very busy fantasy lands. I find myself feeling fatigued if I stay there very long. Maybe there is just too much pretty stuff to look at... idk.. but I dont do well staying in fantasyland for more than very short periods of time.
Fantiserria is so incredibly beautiful and the treehouses are a favorite house of mine... I wish my "brain" would let me stay there longer.

Wow some of the posts sound so critical. Newcomer retention is incredibly important because SL will whiter away and die if we don't get new "regulars" to replace those who either die off or get too busy with RL to keep coming to SL. I think the hubs are a reasonable attempt to help increase newcomer retention.
I think the new welcome hub (9 regions of it) is a big improvement over the earlier 1st time entry places. I like the idea that new people have the option of taking or skipping the orientation. I like the idea that those looking for a social experience have almost immediate access to others to socialize with. I like that there are multiple regions that expose newcomers to some of the things they can do in SL... different people have different interests, so a variety are shown here.
I like the idea of a community exhibition. If new people are not finding it on their own, perhaps the mentors will start steering those looking to connect with likeminded people through there. I also like (very much) that there is a large team of mentor volunteers to help new people out without overwhelming them.
If I understand things correctly, LL will be adding a lot more community exhibits as time goes on. I sure hope it catches on with both newcomers and residents because it seems like a good idea to me.

And here is another new blog for you on Mediterranean landscaping - The Natural Look. You can find it at:
This article looks at a “natural” way to landscape a Mediterranean home. Laureen Trueheart decorated her yard using a lot of plants and few man-made structures. Her landscaping blends in well with the surrounding mole landscaping, and is very lovely. We will look at some pictures and talk about some of the products she used.

or you can go grab a coffee (preferably a mocha latte) and sit back and enjoy the animations.. .maybe try counting how many times you are bounced before you finally get tired of it (or finish the coffee) and TP out to one of the locations on your favorites bar.
