My friend gave me access to his SWTOR for a couple days to see if my graphics card can handle it (because he needs an upgrade) it finally finished downloading, and now the dog won't get off my lap so I can play!

so now I'm in an awkward position. I want to keep playing. But not on my friends account lol. So I may cut myself off til I can get myself a copy (Improv classes come first) So that is why I haven't met up with anyone in game yet. Ooh, but important question! If I go with a Smuggler, do I eventually get a kickass trenchcoat?
- Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
From what I have read, the Rebel classes have armor that is what you would expect them to have, so it could be likely.
- Chris Topher
My smuggler (at level 30) has a longcoat. Doesn't look like a trenchcoat, but it reminds me of Mal so that's good enough.

sweet! True story, in Star Wars Galaxies, I made quite a bit of money because I became a tailor (or whatever the equivalent was called, I can't remember at the moment) and specialized in Firefly themed outfits.

They played a True Religion Brand Jeans commercial during this Rolling Stone video of The Cranberries and all it was was a B&W roll of a girl walking in the sun... from the waist up. I think I saw a belt loop.

Pasta with Pistachios from Farmshop in Santa Monica - http://www.tastingtable.com/entry_d...
Nicholas Kreidberg, April, Kelli H. and 20 other people liked this
"Legend has it that lovers used to meet under pistachio trees and listen for shells cracking, which signaled everlasting happiness. We don't have a pistachio tree handy, but we do have Jeff Cerciello's immensely gratifying pistachio-pesto pasta. In Santa Monica at Farmshop's newly launched artisan market, Cerciello replaces the oft-used basil-pine-nut version with an arresting combination of fresh parsley, mint, garlic, Meyer-lemon zest and red pepper flakes. Toasted pistachios and tender broccoli florets provide soulful heft in a recipe that's become our newest Italian-inspired crush."

"Fridges are a recent invention; for thousands of years, people lived without them, but had many low-tech ways of making food last. Today most fridges are filled with stuff that would last just as long and probably would taste a lot better if it was never lost in the back of the fridge. They are expensive air conditioned parking lots for what Shay Salomon called "compost and condiments." Some are looking at alternatives to such an expensive and wasteful model. Kris De Decker of No Tech Magazine "refuses to assume that every problem has a high-tech solution," and shows the work of Korean designer Jihyun Ryou, who says "we hand over the responsibility of taking care of food to the technology, the refrigerator. We don’t observe the food any more and we don’t understand how to treat it.""

I use all of them except the sand one. I never thought of sticking root veggies in sand and it's just a DUH! The others I do on a smaller scale, though Adrian won't let me leave eggs out. I do have to get on him about keeping "salsa veggies" in the fridge in plastic. That's just nasty.

They are really cute, but you'd need to build them bigger than these to be practical. I really like the idea. I HATE MY FRIDGE! It's so last century. :P
- TINY REPTILIAN PYROMANIAC
Cool ideas. I would quibble with the statement that taking food out of the fridge reuces the energy usage. A nearly empty fridge running at a specfic temp setting will use more electricity than a fairly full fridge of the same size, at the same temp setting. Of course, opening the door frequently offsets that. If, by keeping fewer things in the fridge, you can switch to a smaller fridge, THAT would save energy.

Nakachi, Tinfoil 2.0, vicster and 15 other people liked this
"Charles Darwin was born 203 years ago Sunday, 50 years before he would forever change the field of biology with "On the Origin of Species." Another book, published 143 years later, dubbed his opus on evolution "the single best idea, ever." The editors of that book helped found Darwin Day in the 1990s, honoring not just Darwin, but also "the achievements of humanity as represented in the acquisition of verifiable scientific knowledge." People had already been celebrating Darwin's birthday every Feb. 12 for decades, but Darwin Day became a broad, global holiday for science, with Darwin as its patriarch — sort of like a less jolly, more scholarly Santa Claus. But while Darwin's discovery of natural selection has revolutionized science, it has also inspired generations of critics. Some distrust it for religious reasons, seeing it as a threat to Creationism or Intelligent Design, and some just don't like to think of people as animals. Darwin wasn't anti-religion, though — he was on track...
