When is the due dates?

Tromso, hoping too see the northern lights for my big (let's not discuss the number) birthday haha

Any particular locations or desires in travel preferences?

Sounds like a pretty awesome Job! I am hoping to go to Norway in January any advice? :)

I have the pleasure of working from my home office in Phoenix Arizona (Yes it's fucking hot as Vulcan here) as a Personal Vacation Consultant. Fancy title for travel agent :-) Been at it for almost 13 years and don't really see myself doing anything else. LOVE sending people to exotic locations and being a part of their vacations, honeymoons, anniversaries and all that jazz. I would add a picture but never really like pics of myself. Not overly photogenic in my personal opinion.

If you enjoy writing and would like to lend your narrative talents to the guild, please contact me.

I am looking for someone to create short stories for Guild Hosted events. Such events currently take place bi-weekly, but will increase to weekly intervals when interest picks up. I will submit to you the guild event activities which will take place and you will elaborate on the event and create your own story to go along with it. The story will be posted with the event when it is created. An example of an event would be a quaggan race on any given map. Your job would be to invent a story for the race. My narrative skills are lacking, but an example could be:

Krait poachers have raided the Okarinoo quaggan village and made off with their quaggan hatchlings! Through a brush with luck, the krait were attacked by nearby griffons. Now is your chance to make your escape and traverse both land and water to make your way home.

Thank you Stonewall for your continued dedication and support!

Im getting my copy today!!! I plan on being on Gilgamesh as well. there has to be a SW linkshell of some sort.

maybe a DNA copyright isn't such a crazy idea

Yes, this is exactly why they should be copyrightable, or more specifically, that you're specific genome belongs to you and no one else can use it without your permission. Even more so, that DNA that exists in nature shouldn't be copyrightable by corporation. The good news though is that the Supreme Court is on our side.

Having the right to copyright DNA is important in a commercial sense. If a company can't copyright the unique genetic sequences they spend years or even decades researching and creating, then they won't be able to maintain control over it and eventually earn a return on all the invested capital. This would delay or completely stall genetic research as profit is still a large motivator in the medical industry.

the moment genetic engineering is a viable and safe, im utilizing the fuck out of it and getting effective immortality and all the cool stuff. So i am not particularly attached to the DNA i have now. So I dont really understand how having your dna out there affect you. I mean it goes both ways doesnt it? if you can copy right genetic material, so can the evil corporations.

There's a whole host of different concerns to this including that someone could take your DNA and eventually create a clone or more realistically steal a skin cell and use part of its DNA to fertilize a cell to create a child without your permission or knowledge. Companies could take DNA samples without you even knowing during interviews to see if you're at high risk for any disease, denying you for a position if you're a high health risk, or, eventually, to determine if you have a trustworthy disposition. There's a whole host of doomsday scenarios.

That would be Monsanto

Very interesting. Seems like a lot of technology is involved to call it art, but I suppose there is a good amount of creativity involved for the aspects you can't easily decode from DNA. Though, it'd be great if it'd start a conversation on DNA rights and privacy. I think in some regards it's already happening, ie Henrietta Lacks, but with personal privacy slowly fading I think we should start working to protect our own DNA while access to the technology to decode it and utilize it is limits.

If you just need a copy of the official logo, I keep some stored on the server. Here are the images sizes and links.

I just thought this was neat and a little creepy at the same time.

Hi Darkcinder,

Luckily, I have my iPhone to tether from while my Internet disaster is fixed!

The Fleet Resources Department currently offers forum signature services through our Forum Signature Store. Follow the link to view some examples, choices and testimony of satisfied customers (the last few pages of the thread show our most recent and best work).

If you'd prefer to do the work yourself, contact me privately through the site and provide me with an email address, and I can send over the Stonewall and House of Nagh Red fleet logos for you to play with.

Cheers!

What can I say, it is a gift that I was burdened with :D

Yes that is it "overwhelmingly charming" hit it right on the nose :P

:o are you insinuating that I am someone to be avoided at all costs... Not my fault my charming personality is just so overwhelming for some people is it :p
