As part of the effort to shave state expenses, Governor Schwarzenegger Friday ordered the state’s motor vehicle fleet be reduced by 15 percent and sold off to combat reports of “waste and abuse” by state employees.

July 26, 2009

Raglan Shire, Second Life’s leading tiny-centric cluster of sims, celebrates its two-year anniversary in April 2009. The theme for the party month was ‘Wild Wild West’!

The community square became a dusty old west-style street, complete with livery, chapel, stores and even a jail! Everyone was kitted out as cowboys, cowgirls, native Americans, saloon gals and bandits for the 4-week long party.

Then, one day, a mysterious black leopard wandered into town, with his eye on the bank. What were his intentions? And was he alone..? Sherrif Rizzo bravely stepped up to find out…

REDUX version takes the Shires back to the pre-Golden Age of cinema, and features old-style movie effects inclusing sepia tones and scratches! You can see the original, glorious technicolour version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z35D64oT6TY
