More Sights and Sounds from Burning Life

Looking around for the American dream that is in all the sims I came upon a sleeper. There he lies on his bed too tired to watch or listen to the flickering TV while his dreams bubbled off in to the air. He will probably forget what they were anyway.
That is Bob. His remote is on the bed so you can change the channel if you like , just touch it. You will be able to see the possible dreams for the future influenced by the constant media feed.
Jenne Dibou has a creation in Micro sim called “The American Dreamer” built by her and Mandy Marseille. Pick up a ticket at the booth.
The walls of the open air bedroom depict the dreams of many from the past and present.
If you watch the dreams in the TV you can vote on what Bob may or should choose to follow and check back on the last day to see what he will do.
Loki Eliot of the children’s sim has a barn set up from the front it is harmless enough but as you wander around it you will find a fearsome dragon peeking through the window searching for the children who might be there.
Well, I am not sure if he is dangerous or friendly.. I did not wait to ask!!!
As usual the Second Life children’s entry is whimsical and fun!
There is a sign which says SL Children at the build in Optic sim.
Look for it!
Later we went to look at the barn again and there was a dance party taking place so I joined in for a while and the dragon did not bother us at all. He looked quiet happy! Look for it! Loki has lots of events planned.

Changes to let you know about

In the next week or so you may notice a few changes here at sl-newspaper.

We are getting ready to bring you a brand new layout that will hopefully make your experience easier and more pleasant.

For the full changes to take place we will have to take the newspaper offline, hopefully for no longer than 12 hours - so if you click to read and can't find us - don't panic we will be back very soon.

We will have some notice of when this is to happen and we will endeavor to let you know.

At the same time we will launch our new vendors

These will be available as a pack initially both at our main office and on SLeXchange.

As always with our vendors they are free and copyable, you can rez them or pass them on to friends to place them at their home or business for ease of access to the brand new SL-Newspaper.com.

The older vendors will continue to work so don't panic - if the newspaper is offline - they will work again once we are back.

We are looking forward to the new look sl-newspaper and hope you will be as excited about it as we are.

Baron DeSantis Found On Beach

The lifeless body of Baron DeSantis was today found on the beach of his private island, following a bitter dispute at Ghul Federal Prison. This follows his harrowing divorce by Mattt.

His estate is being handled by a close friend and Baron's last wish is that all have a party to celebrate , not to mourn.

Baron's email address is being kept open, out of respect for what he tried to achieve in improving the penal system in SL.

This note was found by a friend, wrapped in a plastic bag, and has been posted to the newspaper.

He will be missed.

SL5B griefer attack?

It's not that long ago that I personally learned from a Linden (at his office hours) that griefing has been dramatically reduced in the past months. Well, SL5B (the Second Life 5th birthday celebration mini-continent) seems like a perfect target.

Enus Linden, who has a nice dock in the SL5B Prim region, has become victim of this. His little place really has been set aflame with colored particles.


However, what's strange about this, is that a certain person who is in all the right groups for the SL5B events and sims and even Burning Life, seems to be the owner of these rezzing objects. So is this just a joke, or a real griefer attack?

Both Enus Linden and the owner of the particle rezzers were unavailable for comments.
