Now for my picks..What the heck is Alex listening to?
A question often asked by my family.. But emphasis on WHAT and HECK...


First.. This song is hitting me big time. If nothing else watch the video and see the dancers and the ritual costumes, gives me goosebumps when I watch it. They are amazing!
Band: Robert Mirabal and Rare Tribal Mob........."The Dance"

Next, love the guitars on this
Band:40 Foot Echo..........."Music Man"

And Lastly, One of my favorite bands..Beautiful song
Band:Poets of the Fall....."Cradled in Love"

* * * * * *

As I stated last posting, We want YOUR songs! PLEASE though, don't send more than 2 suggestions at a time.
If you find NEW stuff to suggest, feel free to send, just don't keep sending the same song over and over :)
If you wish to suggest music, you must PRIVATE message me directly with the link and the subject line "Suggestion for Music". It would help me a GREAT deal if you would also include the name of the band and the song with your video clip. I am running into removed videos and I have no way to search w/o information included.
Also, If you discover I did NOT use your particular clip It's usually because it isn't available, isn't playing properly or has a long commercial in front of it. I will try to search out a good version when this happens.

This upcoming M3 will post on January 14th, 2013

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION
Next category "Dance!". What does this mean? I'm looking for songs ABOUT dancing. Can be the song title or the name of a dance can be in the title OR the song can be ABOUT a type of dance! Anything to do with dancing at all! Let's see what you come up with!

Lynx - Upgraded!
Posted by JT_ on Dec 13, 2012 6:09 pm
EDIT: I just reset the images of all the Lynx currently listed as For Sale (with a price set). There are some really beautiful Lynx available right now, for all price ranges! I was actually quite pleased to see how some of the faded-marking Lynx began to really shine when they were reset. I encourage you all to take a look, especially at ones you may have looked over before due to faded colors and/or higher gen. :)


It would appear the winter snow has had some affect on our Lynx breed! After coming in from playing outside in the cold (throwing snowballs of course), we noticed something different about them.

It would appear that their fur has become more realistic, with highlights and shadows, showing off their beautiful coloring as well as that thick and luxurious fur!


As you may have guessed from the above description, our Lynx breed lineart has been upgraded! The original Lynx was lovely, but I am sure you noticed that the shading on the fur was very "gray". There was not much differentiation between light and dark, and your colors were a bit muddied by the overall gray. This was particularly noticeable on lighter colors of course, especially pure white which was never actually pure!

There was never actually ANY pure color on the Lynx that showed through the overall gray shading. (Pure color being areas of greatest highlight which would display the exact color of that Lynx's basecolor and/or marking color.)


We wanted to remedy this, and also make the fur more realistic for our fluffy and plush Lynx. :) The new shading is available right now, and will be displayed on all Lynx that are refreshed (it is not an option to keep the original shading for your Pumas). We do not at this time have a plan to do a general reset of all Lynx on the site, but this may occur in the future so please keep that in mind.


Here are some examples of the changes. I have created a "grayscale" solid color Lynx gradient image so you can see the immediate difference. The NEW Lynx is on the top, with the ORIGINAL Lynx on the bottom. This will be followed by pairs of images, with the NEW Lynx on the left and the ORIGINAL Lynx on the right. Click the images to see the full sized versions.


If anyone has any serious concerns about the appearance of their Lynx, please contact me via Private Message. But I think you will all really enjoy the adjustments and the new life that has been breathed in your Lynx Pumas. :)

Winter Festival 2012: December 10 - January 10
Posted by JT_ on Dec 10, 2012 12:00 am
Is the weather outside frightfully cold? Does the warm fire look quite delightful? We've got no place to go-- Pumas need to frolic in the snow!

That's right: the Winter Festival has arrived! Starting right now and running until the end of the day on January 10, 2013 you can help celebrate with our fine furred friends. :) This festival is an whole month long, giving you plenty of time to celebrate the season on P3 and with your real life friends and family too!

What can you look forward to? Well...


Gifting Stump: 'Tis the season of giving, so what better way than with our festive Gifting Stump. Send gifts for your fellow P3 members to find and enjoy. You can even send anonymously, if you'd like to be a "Secret Pooma". :)

Snowball Fight!: Toss snowballs on user profiles once an hour! There are tons of great new and returning prizes, but watch out! You can also miss and receive... well, you'll see. ;)

Tons of Shop Goodies: That's right, you had better head over to the Site Shops and see what is available! We have brand new items, as well as some returning items from previous festivals.

Corner Icon: A quick reminder how corner icons work. If there is no icon-- the item will be sticking around after the festival as a normal item! If there is a Winter Festival icon with NO year-- the item is only available during the festival, but should be back next year! If there is a Winter Festival icon with "12" in the corner-- the item is ONLY available until January 10th and will be retired at the end of the festival!


VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: This is our 4th Winter Festival! As such, returning items first released in 2009 will be RETIRED on January 10th! This is our first festival where we have items that were released 4 years ago. You can expect this will occur in all events/festivals from now on. Returning festival items will be available for 4 years before they go into retirement. :)

(There are a couple of "special case" items that were released in 2009 but will not be retiring yet-- namely, the Fruitcake and the Lemon Snow Cone!)


Thanks for helping us have another wonderful year at P3, everyone! We hope you enjoy the 2012 Winter Festival!
