THE HOLLYWOOD BALLROOM BRACES FOR THE RETURN OF THE PINK VAMPIRE on Sat. Oct 24th at 7pm SLT.


The Hollywood Ballroom is always packed when The Pink Vampire arrives on the scene, but it is unclear what will happen now that the singing sensation has made the cover of “Hollywood” magazine. The sensuous cover that shows nothing, but says everything is a top seller at every newsstand nationwide. Amar Stanley, the owner of the largest news and magazine store in Hollywood, located just south of Hollywood Bl. on Wilcox, said that the magazine sold out in the first 30 minutes.
It is rumored that The Pink Vampire will be performing her provocative “South America Dreams” set. A set of songs that got her banned in Poughkeepsie.

Surplus Motors S65 AMG- Khajan Reporting...




Hmmm Surplus Motors just released the S65 AMG based on the real-life 2015 Mercedes Benz S65 AMG.


Exterior
At first glance, we can see that the car is more aggressive and yet more beautiful having a redesigned look. The car has been fitted with a six-twin-louver grille which looks great. The lights are aesthetically pleasing, yet the use of it when you turn it on is quite low. Lucky the brightness can be adjusted thanks to the advanced lighting system on board in the car which can be accessed by the HUD. Moreover, I’m glad to see that there are working indicators which adds to the realism; hopefully there will  be an update to the car to add hazard signs. The front grille seems wider, making larger intakes on each side with the addition of chrome--creating an epic look.



On the rear of the car, Surplus Motors has gone for new set of tail lights for the S65 AMG as well as a quad- exit exhaust system which is very sharp. In terms of the colour options on the overall body, you have 6 stock colours available to choose from or to customize it to your favourite colour.


Interior
Surplus Motors has done in the interior of the car which comes stocked with the highest-quality materials to make it look as real as possible. I would define this as pure luxury with Nappa leather and diamond stitching which graces the seats, headliner, dashboard, door panels and grab bars. The interior comes in 4 standard colours. Maybe it’s me, but I’m glad to see a working dashboard which you can access through your media content by enabling it in your settings. Unlike past cars like the Surplus Motors Spyder that was not possible.  


Driving
The 65 AMG is a very smooth to ride as well as realistic. The steering is perfect although I have noticed that when you are driving that the wheel seems to either oversteer or understeer despite being in 1st gear and not in cruise mode or turbo. Hopefully there will be a fix for that yet I have found out that by resetting the car via the menu is a temporary fix.



Pricing
The 65 AMG cost about L$1900 which I guess is worth every penny when you are getting a car like this.
Additional Features of the car
Features on your S65 include:

-6 body colours plus the possibility to design your own
-4 interior trim colours
-License plate can be changed
-Projector lights (advanced light settings only)
-RL sounds
-Re-size
-Smoother driving
-Multiple driver and passenger animations
-Multiple shift styles
-Exhaust smoke
-Adjustable seating
-Automatic/Manual Transmission
-Unlock/Lock
-Alarm
-Eject
-Working lights, including brake lights, indicators, reverse lights
-Opening doors/hood


....And more features to boot!



GEARS
Two shift styles are included. You can hold down Shift and use the arrow keys to shift up and down or you can just use PgUp or PgDn.
They can be selected in advanced>shift style

Halloween is a traditional and cultural event which takes place mainly in English-speaking countries, especially the US, Canada, Ireland and the UK. History shows that Halloween originated from the pagan celebrations of the ancient Celtic cultures.

The Windlight Focal Points of Ever After - Dean Lawson Reporting




An in depth interview with Second Life Photographer Ever After
First acquiring a camera in real life at the age of 16, Second Life artist Ever After’s interest in the world of virtual photography is best described in her own words as “a natural transition”. I had the good fortune to chat with Ever After and found her insights to be very illuminating.

Dean : Could you tell me a little about yourself?

Ever : It's been a long road of learning. I have been in SL for over 8 years now and since the first week I have taken pictures.  My photography ranges from still life, landscapes to fashion photography and profile pictures.  I take pictures for my own enjoyment first, and for others second.  My goal is to capture that perfect moment in time.  I think I differ from most SL photographers because for me it's all about the raw picture.  I use windlight settings, real SL locations, and only minimal post processing.  I do not photoshop anything in or out of my pictures.

Dean : A lot of the snapshots featured on your Flickr page have backgrounds that are out of focus. Do you achieve this effects by manipulating the windlight settings. Could you explain this process?
Ever : The out of focus effect is typically achieved in one of two ways.  Either in post processing in photoshop or using the depth of field settings in the graphics settings of your viewer.  I prefer to use my settings instead of post processing work.  I wish I could go into detail about how to achieve the look, but the only way I can explain what I do is "fiddle until it looks right."

Dean : Most of the snapshots on your flickr page seem to be set in rural environments with a red haired avatar as the primary subject. How much of your real life environment influences the content of your second life snapshots?
Ever : RL does influence me a bit.  I grew up in a rural area of Tennessee.  I tend to wander SL and take pictures of what touches me, so of course things that bring out an emotional response will be similar to what touches me in RL. 

Dean : Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about you? ( Any links to galleries or websites you would like them to visit?)
Ever : I started out doing this for my own enjoyment.  I think that is the key to happiness in SL and in RL.  Find something you love, and just do it.  I hope all of you out there find something you love to do.  I never thought I would be able to share what I love with other people, but now I am.  I have one Gallery show closing on the 18th of oct, and another opening on the 1st of November.  Please come and enjoy my art.  The Creations For Parkinson's Gallery, opening on November 1st, is a benefit for Parkinson's disease.  100% of my sales will be donated to charity.  Please come and support this wonderful cause.
