"Gone Girl" is a psychological thriller about the unraveling of a seemingly perfect marriage between Nick and Amy Dunne. On their fifth anniversary, Amy mysteriously disappears, and Nick quickly becomes the prime suspect. The story unfolds through alternating perspectives: Nick's present-day account of the investigation and Amy's past diary entries detailing the couple's relationship. As the police investigation intensifies, Nick's lies, deceit, and inappropriate behavior come to light, making him look increasingly guilty. However, the diary entries reveal Amy's calculated and manipulative nature, suggesting she may not be the innocent victim she appears to be. The novel explores themes of marriage, deception, media influence, and the dark side of relationships.

We hope you enjoy the fine books from the Homelandz Public Library, but please, if you enjoy a book, try to support the author in any way you can! :)

On Saturday, August 9th, we will be having a celebration of life at the Bright Shore region. This region is owned and designed by our grid member Terri S (Eva Marie) who has done an amazing job of designing and decorating this region which is based on the movie Widow Clicquot . Madame Clicquot is credited with major breakthroughs, creating the first known vintage champagne in 1810, and inventing the riddling table process to clarify champagne in 1816. In 1818, she invented the first known blended rosé champagne by blending still red and white wines, a process still used by the majority of champagne producers. During the Napoleonic Wars, Madame Clicquot made strides in establishing her wine in royal courts throughout Europe, notably that of Imperial Russia. So Saturday we will be celebrating life and the things we can accomplish when we set our minds to it. Our DJ will be Maldrul Smith and the Hostess is Terri S (Eva Marie). Join us for some really great music and dancing and let's celebrate together. And have a glass of champagne with us. The celebration begins at 2pm grid time and the dress code is casual.

Today's selection just added to the Homelandz Public Library: Every Breath, by a wonderful author, Nicholas Sparks!

"Every Breath" by Nicholas Sparks tells the story of Hope Anderson, a woman at a crossroads in her life, and Tru Walls, a safari guide from Zimbabwe, who meet by chance at Sunset Beach, North Carolina. Their connection is immediate and intense, but their paths are complicated by past relationships, family obligations, and the challenges of distance and circumstance. The story explores themes of love, loss, fate, and the enduring power of human connection, spanning decades and continents.

I begin to understand why most dance balls are still entirely filled with classic non-mesh avatars. And that isn't because nobody wants to donate their own avatars as NPCs nor make new ones.

It's because an NPC would have to work under any given condition with no clipping. But no matter how you approach alpha-ing, it's potentially unreliable.

Alpha cuts have the disadvantage of requiring scripts to work. I mean, they don't even always come with you when you Hypergrid or when you simply teleport to a place on a different region server. And what do you know, your whole body is visible again, and you can't even change that without detaching and re-attaching it which makes certain imported SL bodies blow up. And I'm not even talking about sims that don't allow avatar scripts yet.

Alpha masks are more reliable because they don't require scripts. However, they only work until some region server decides it's a good idea to change the alpha mode of your body from alpha masking to none. This is nasty on avatars already. Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2 let you restore the alpha mode with the HUD, but only if avatar scripts work. The same will go for the Max bodies in development. As for everything else, you'd better have backups with an intact alpha mode. But if this happens to NPCs, no chance to fix them.

If you want NPCs to be reliably devoid of clipping under any given circumstances, you have to build them from components that won't cause clipping. If you want such NPCs for a dance machine, there's the extra challenge to make them believable dancers. Easy for beach parties. Even easier for nudist places. Very tricky for ballrooms. Unless, of course, you reject a decade of avatar advancements and go for classic content on the system body.

Juno is occasionally working on NPC versions of herself that are made of content which suits today's general tastes more than what she uses herself, like a Simona body (sorry, no Legacy, you can't really dress a Legacy avatar like Juno), an EvoX head and an EvoX skin (sorry, no Doux hair because Doux themselves have never released a short bob, so the unrigged Paige hairstyle is the closest to Juno's hairdo in SL mesh). She's doing that to have something to donate to reduce the lack of newer NPCs. But her NPCs will have to rely heavily on auto-alpha. Testing them could be interesting, much less actually deploying them.

Join us for a brand-new series of Fireside Chats, Sun., Aug. 10th at 1 PM Grid Time at the Kitely Event Center!

These casual yet captivating gatherings will bring our community together for open conversations, inspiring stories, thought-provoking topics, and the kind of connection that only a virtual fireside can offer. Whether you come to listen, share, or spark new ideas, this is your invitation to pull up a chair, get cozy, and be part of something special. Everyone from the hypergrid is welcome!
