Hello everyone today I would like to retouch on a topic that has been covered once before. This would be the topic of the helpful how-to videos on the website. Our talented Avalon has created a bunch of helpful how to videos that cover everything from signing up for the website  to the ticket system to even the wonderful G.P.S. tools! These videos were made to answer most questions about the topics that are covered by them.  As always if any new video ideas come up please be sure to share them you never know it may end up with a how to video!

Heres a link to the videos: http://amarettobreedables.com/videos enjoy

Tomorrow, Tomorrow …the points are double til tomorrow!! That’s right, beginning right now any Horse sent to Horse Haven AND any K-9 sent to Puppy Paradise will receive Double Points!
If you are purchasing horses, K-9s, bundles or kennels to send to Horse Haven or Puppy Paradise please remember that you MUST rerez them so that you will get the points and not the person who previously owned the horse!
The double Horse Haven/Puppy Paradise points will end Wednesday, July 18th at 11:59 pm SLT. So after July 18th at 11:59 pm normal points will resume.
You can check your Haven Points and Kennel Cash at any Amaretto location by using the balance inquiry button or by going to the Haven sim and clicking either the giant chess piece or the mail box.
Please be sure when you are using the vendors that you are choosing the correct Haven Horse/Paradise Puppy as returns and exchanges will NOT be given.
Horses must be above version 1.3 to receive double points for Horse Haven. K-9s must be above version 1.0 in order to receive double kennel cash for Puppy Paradise.
The Anubis is known as the Protector and we thought the other Haven Horses could use a little protecting.  Starting Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at all Horse Haven vendors you will find the new Haven Horse – Anubis with Egyptian Gold eyes.
The Haven Horse – Anubis comes in random gender with random mane and tail traits as well as the beautiful Egyptian Gold eyes.
The Egyptian Gold eye DOES have the ability to pass.
The Haven Horse – Anubis are NOT able to pass their coats.
When you breed a Horse Haven Horse (whether it is with another Horse Haven Horse or any other horse) you DO have an increased chance at receiving a random Charmed Horse.
The non-Charmed offspring of a Haven Horse do NOT have an increased chance of producing a Charmed Horse.

Not to leave the K-9s unprotected we discovered that one translation of Fu Dogs is guardian, so we made 3 little guardians to add to Puppy Paradise.  Starting today, July 17th, 2012 at all the Puppy Paradise vendors you will find the new Paradise Puppy, the Fu K-9.
The Fu K-9 comes in random gender and these random coats: “Happiness”, “Friendship”, and “Prosperity” Fu K-9s. Fu K-9s are NOT able to pass their coats.
These unique K-9s have the ability to pass their eyes (depending on the coat you receive) Purple Jade, Green Jade, and Blue Jade.
Each Fu K-9 comes with a collar that matches its coat, but just like the coat it does Not have the ability to pass the collar.
When you breed a Paradise Puppy (whether it is with another Paradise Puppy or any other K-9) you DO have an increased chance at receiving a random Enchanted K-9.
The non-Enchanted offspring of Paradise Puppies do NOT have an increased chance of producing Enchanted K-9s.

“Happiness” Fu K-9
Eye: Purple Jade
Collar: Happiness

“Friendship” Fu K-9
Eye: Green Jade
Collar: Friendship

“Prosperity” Fu K-9
Eye: Blue Jade
Collar: Prosperity

Hello Community!!!

Today we have a very special announcement to make. We have been asked many times “is Amaretto going to expand into another grid?”. Well we have the answer for you, Yes. Amaretto is proud to announce that we will be expanding our Amaretto Breedable Horses into InWorldz. Now if you would like to be part of this new adventure we are taking beta applications. You will need to sign up for InWorldz at http://inworldz.com/ and send a notecard in InWorldz to Richie Carami with your full name and beta tester if you want to take part in the beta testing.

I do want to add that just because we are expanding our breedables into another grid we are not stopping production here in Secondlife. Secondlife is where Amaretto started and it is where we will always be.

With that being said I am sure many of you have questions and we will be here to answer them. We will also be having special Q&A sessions over the next few weeks regarding Amaretto expanding into InWorldz.

Happy Breeding Everyone and we hope to see you in both worlds 🙂

We at Amaretto thank you for everything you in the community do to help support Relay for Life! Amaretto Relays!!!!

Today I would like to talk to you all about the registration/login process for the website and ticket system. As you may know both sections on the website have a separate registration / login system. Now I would like to cover both processes for you real quick.

 

Main website this is for everything but the ticket system.

 

First point your external browser (a browser other than the built in media browser inside second life) to

http://amarettobreedables.com (you need to use an external browser as the in world browsers do not work all the time)

 

Now at the top of the page click Sign up and it will take you to the account creation/registration page

Fill in your email address set the password you want twice (do not use the same password as your email or second life account) and in the profile address you have to put an alpha-numeric word in the box. You create this and it has to have at least 1 letter in it but can have letters and numbers, i.e. tmzasz1 this is for the url of your website profile page and it would look like this http://amarettobreedables.com/profile/tmzasz1 don’t put the http:// or anything else in just put what you want to be behind the last /.

Next change your time zone and language, complete the recaptcha and then read and agree to the terms of service of the site (which are located here:http://amarettobreedables.com/help/terms).

 

Press continue to go to the profile information page

 

Here you fill in what will appear on your profile page

For first name use your SL first name and for last name use your SL last name or resident if you don’t have one

Everything else on the page is optional and completely up to you if you want to fill it in.

Click save and wait for the confirmation email (should arrive within 5 minutes) and then confirm the registration and login that’s all there is to it :)

 

Now for the ticket system

 

The reason the website login does not work with the ticket system is because the systems use a separate user/password style and they can’t talk to each other.

 

Ok to register to the ticket system point your external browser (a browser other than the built in media browser inside second life) to http://support.amarettobreedables.com (you need to use an external browser as the in world browsers do not work all the time)

 

On this page in the center is a register button that looks like a red silhouette with a brown + sign on it click it to start the registration process.

 

Once you click the register button please fill in the account fields:

Full Name please use your second life name not your RL name

Email please put the email you wish to use to login to the ticket system and put a password (do not use the same password as your email or second life account) and finally fill in the recaptcha and click sign up. Once you do you will be able to login using the login box to the right of the screen about halfway down.

 

Once you login you can fill in the profile information if you choose to but it is not required.

 

After logging in at the top where it says > Home > View tickets > Submit a ticket > Knowledgebase > News > Troubleshooter click on home to go to the front page or Submit a Ticket to go straight to the ticket submit ion page.

 

I hope this helps everyone be able to login easier and clears up any confusion.

 

P.S. Ava has made 2 awesome videos that show the signup process for each part!

Amaretto July Showhorses

Hello Everyone, Today I wanted to show you all some pictures of the Amaretto Walker Showhorse. The Amaretto Walker Showhorse started on July 5th, like other Showhorses you have to breed 2 of the same breeds together meaning walkers this month 🙂 I do want to remind you all that the walker Showhorse does NOT pass its coat but it can pass the wonderful eye. We did decide this month to mix things up, There is two different colors on the coats, Black and Silver, also there is a white and red eye.
