I'm worried that he won't get a new contract because he's an ageing player who's seen his minutes dwindle, and people will accuse the NBA of not giving him a contract because he's come out, rather than because his skills are fading.

Amazing, amazing news! One less pink ceiling for us to break through. Hopefully he'll get some great endorsements (from what I read Nike guaranteed to endorse any player that came out) and gets a great contract soon. Can't wait to see this happen in the NFL and NHL.

Great designs, everyone! I have several favorites!

Out of curiosity, is there going to be a run-off among the most popular designs if there isn't a clear favorite?

I just started reading the article. SHould have came by here first :)

NBA player Jason Collins is gay

Also, Nicholas, one of the submissions isn't here and I swore I sent it back to you with description--was it disqualified somehow? PM me.

The catwalk announcer needs to check his notes on A (gloves?) and E (white details?) and I (everything - actually, are E and I descriptions and pictures reversed?).

For the gloves on A, I had a costuming error as I was testing costumes that I discovered later, so I had to retest costumes and rewrite descriptions, and I thought I caught all the descriptions but I guess not. I'm thinking that the E and I descriptions are reversed but I don't think that happened at my end. Also, I absolutely know that my uniform (J) had gloves, which I described and which I considered an important detail, but they didn't show up here. I discovered there's actually a costuming bug (surprise, surprise) wherein if you save a costume with gloves, the gloves don't actually load--it defaults to whatever your present glove settings are, which is how A got messed up.

Gah i loved DD design but i just couldn't get behind the colour he picked for science officers. We are all used to first world problems this is now LGBT fleet problems :P

Google Glass reminds me of an episode from The Outer Limits. Basically, all humans were plugged into the Stream by neural implants. They could access information in any book at any time. The Stream becomes obsessed with gathering information. Of course things go wrong and the plot has a hero and the Stream has to be stopped.

I just wonder how much reality is going to reflect the stories of sci-fiction from the last 30 years. It better be a brave new world.

Vegetarian yes, vegan not so much though. I'm good at making pastas, couscous, polenta, miso soup and what not. Most of those require some animal protein but I honestly don't see the dietary point in having actual meat every morning. (swine excluded) I do love bacon with a fiery passion! ;)

Totally true Darkoas.
One big change that we'll need to make in the coming decades is a vast decrease in the amount of meat we eat. Compared to historical trends or even our metabolic needs, we're swimming in meat today. Going back to mainly agrarian diet will help a great many things; decrease the production of fossil fuels, curb obesity, and less soil erosion.

I can totally relate. My Dad throws a hissy fit if there isn't meat in the dinner I cook. I tell him he needs to build a time machine and go back to the early 60's if he's so enamored of the "meat and potato's diet."

Sounds yummy to me! I've been looking for some good vegetarian recipes if you have any!

The first trailer for the documentary was released earlier this month:

Hey Robyn,

SWVG is in the process of beefing up the scheduled events. Right now the only regularly attended events are the guild bounties on Thursday and Saturday.

We did end up doing some impromptu dungeon running last night. :P I think we ended up doing the dungeon around 5am your time (which would not even exist to me if I were you. lol).

I'll try to keep you posted if anything concrete surfaces!

The May PvE Event calendar has been posted! See the first post in this thread for upcoming events!

Totally true Darkoas. Can you picture the sky rise farms of tomorrow? Hydroponics will play a big part in that.

This is quite interesting. Though I farming will need to build upwards to handle capacity. Think of an acre of land, it can grow only so much. now add another level to it in addition to 'Borg' farmers and you have doubled the space. Lighting becomes an issue but people are using grow lights now, for example, building maryjane farms in their basement. I am surprised that no one has yet to build a 20 story farm. All in time.

This? The one guy looks borgis already

Well if this isn't the beginning of the Borg, then I don't know what is. This is creepy, but exciting too! Traull's family shared this, as they're in the farming industry.
