The Viper Resource Center (VRC), P40 competitive renewal, at Texas A&M University-Kingsville proposes to continue the aims of the initial grant application. The resources will be expanded and snake venom, venom fractions, blood and cells will be made available to the biomedical research community. The research segment of the proposal will focus on improving the products by characterizing important molecules found in venom for biomedical research. Because of university support and NIH funding, the VRC within the Natural Toxins Research Center (NTRC) has developed a unique facility with the state-of-the-art instrumentation. There are 300 different species of venomous snakes in the world and venoms are complex mixtures of thousands of molecules. Many venomous snakes use their venoms for capturing prey by interfering with the clotting cascade, which causes the animal to bleed to death. These same molecules could have therapeutic value for preventing heart attacks and strokes. A good example of these molecules is the disintegrins, which are competitive inhibitors of fibrinogen and interfere with platelet function. Disintegrins block cell-to-cell, cell-to-matrix interactions and signal transduction, thereby affecting the internal and external cellular activities of many different cells. It is our hypothesis that snake venoms are abundant and stable sources of many molecules and once purified, characterized, and cloned, could have many potential applications in medicine. Based on this hypothesis, the specific aims are to continue: (1) increasing the number of venomous snakes at the VRC for biomedical use;(2) characterizing snake venoms by high performance liquid chromatography and various assays to determine medical applications of venom molecules;(3) improving the Internet database for better dissemination of information to investigators;and (4) using the latest techniques such as proteomics to determine the molecular weights and amino acid sequences of venom proteins. The expected results will be that investigators will have access to a wide variety of properly maintained snakes, quality venoms and characterized fractions for biomedical research. The snakes, their venoms and venom fractions are placed on the NTRC Internet database, which can be queried. Venom can be ordered at a later date from the same snake, since all snakes have pit tags. Evaluation of the VRC will be based on the number of investigators using the venoms, publications, and information disseminated through the Internet database. The significance of the proposed research is that venom molecules have important biomedical applications in many different areas such as strokes, heart attacks, cancer and other medical problems.

Another skipper from the CYCA with similar credentials is Roger Hickman who with the veteran Farr 43 Wild Rose is the defending title holder for the G2LHI race.
More recently Hicko and Wild Rose won Division 4 IRC in the 2012 Syd-Hobart and was 13th overall in what was acknowledged as being a bigger boat's race.
Wild Rose recorded a very similar result in the Syd-Hobart of 2011 and in fact has won at each of its past three Cat 1 race outings.
Pleasing too for the organisers is the return of Race Record holder the VO60 Merit who will contest this year's race.
The VO70 Southern Excellence II (formerly Ichi Ban), is undertaking its first G2LHI Race and a race record could be on the cards if conditions are moderately suitable.
New owner CYCA Director Andrew Wenham finalised negotiations earlier this week and SE II will now start as the line honours favourite.
The current race record of 33hrs,34mins and 21 secs was set back in 2002 by Merit and the average speed of that race was a little under 12.5knots.
Wenham says that Southern Excellence II is capable of maintaining a much higher average speed providing they don't stop at night and several of the Ichi Ban crew will be aboard to help the new owner drive the boat hard.
However, conditions in 2002 were ideal for Merit with a fresh south easterly of 20-30kts providing the angle and speed to sail the race on one reach virtually along the rhumb-line.
If Southern Excellence II sees these conditions in 2013, the VO70 could conceivably knock 3-4 hours off the current race record.
All eyes will be on the BOM representative at the Race Briefing when the forecast is delivered in anticipation of an 11 year record falling.
The provisional entry list follows:
AFR Midnight Rambler-Ker 40-Ed Psaltis
Alegria V-Welbourn 50- Rod Jones

Is there such an item for gunslingers? Its a first level spell so I am wondering if there is an item it is made with? Heck, even if it were once or twice a day it would be a plus.
No. But some come really close:
If none of these quite fit the bill, ask your GM nicely to create a 1/day item an abundant ammunition pouch: 1/day abundant ammunition for 1 minute standard action to activate 720gp. (3/day is about 2160gp.)

Another alternative would be to pick up a Wand of Abundant Ammunition and some ranks in UMD; it would likely be more effective if you were also a Mysterious Stranger, since UMD is CHA-based.
Get the purple Ioun stone as well, and have a caster use your wand to put it in the stone - then activate it the stone without worrying about UMD.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
It's no secret that RIFT has a generous business model. The slogan "No Tricks, No Trials, No Traps" has proven true and made the game a beacon for free-to-play design. There is a store, and Trion would sure like it if you used it, but if you don't, there is still a whole game to explore, all the way through endgame. That raises the question: why exactly would you subscribe and is it even worth it when so much is available for free? That's the question we're out to answer today.
Read more of Christopher Coke's Tripping the Rift: Is the Patron Status Worth It?
What's nice about the new Patron benefits, particularly the XP bonus, is that it allows players with significant time constraints to get more out of their limited gaming sessions.
One of the main reasons I took a break from Rift was due to how long it was taking me to level from 50-60 while limited to one or two gaming nights a week.
With the 40% bonus (and hopefully some rested XP), I'm thinking that I might actually be able to hit 60.
It's an interesting idea, actually, when you think about it. Basically they're saying that a subscription model has diminishing returns, which it does, and that the people who should be paying for the game are those who are currently, actively leveling through the game.
What I mean is, we all complain about how no game, really, gives us enough to do once we reach the max-level content. This isn't anyting new. Once we hit that wall, we generally unsubscribe and move on. It becomes less and less compelling for us to stick around if we're paying for something that we're not really using, or for something that feels like a job. However, if it were free, we'd probably stick around and pop our heads in occassionally to run a raid or whatever (without having to drop $15 in the bucket).
It's the one complaint I have with SWTORs model, I just gave you like a hundred bucks, but you're telling me now that I can't do the max-level content without being subscribed? Or buying a pass? Nope, not really going to happen. It's all about value, and while I feel I can get a lot of value from paying monthly for SWTOR or Rift while I'm leveling, once I get to max-level, all there really is to do is do raids once a week. So I've gone from paying $15 for 30 days to paying $15 for 2 or 3 days of use.
So I think that Rift might actually be onto something here. The only question remaining, and they'll need to still think about it, is how can they monetize their max-level players?
Azarelos - 90 Hunter - Emerald
Durnzig - 90 Paladin - Emerald
Demonicron - 90 Death Knight - Emerald Dream - US
Tankinpain - 90 Monk - Azjol-Nerub - US
Brindell - 90 Warrior - Emerald Dream - US
It is what i always ask my self too when it comes to F2P games.... In fact Rift is one of the most free f2p games i have seen. DCUO being a strong contender too.
Value can be tricky and i am not sure how to define it, for an example i think NW has some really good value as a F2P game right up to endgame... and then it get a lot less "good value" but at that point i have some solid entertainment out of it and their system to be able to buy real world currency with in-game "money" add some extra value to it. But at the same time they need some way to make money and lockboxes only get them so far.
Now i have only tried Rift in short bursts but until this i can not say i felt any real pull towards being a Patron but the XP bonus alone might make me a "beliver" as i really hate to grind just for the sake of grinding.
This have been a good conversation
They've got my attention. I don't like to play SWTOR free because everything you do gives you a popup telling you that you are being restricted xp or drops because you don't subscribe. This doesn't have the effect of making me want to subscribe, it makes me want to go play another game that isn't constantly bugging me to subscribe. So other games end up getting my time and my money.
Marvel Heroes has limited content but they are constantly giving you stuff. Lots of good drops, xp increases, code keys for extra stuff, ways to buy heroes without paying for them, instant teleports for cleaning out your inventory. All very addictive. Now Rift is doing the same thing for a subscription. Worth looking into I believe.
"Change is the only constant."
The bonuses aren't needed for reasonable gameplay. With the bonuses it's like superspeed. Someone new to the game should NOT get patron status, you'll outlevel content too fast. If you're levelling alts though.. well, you'll probably be able to get patron status for free pretty easily at that point using your max level character to buy REX.
Even if you aren't levelling it's worth the sub if 8.99 doesn't break your bank.
The quality of life improvements through patron status just make time spent in game more productive and rewarding.
The way I think about subs is that they are £2.25 a week..
Can't really think of another hobby or pastime that costs so little for how much you get out of it.
Trion seem to be getting alot of things right lately, hopefully they continue to be an outstanding studio and I wish them the best with Trove and Archeage launches
I am the Arch-fiend, the Despoiler of Worlds, and by my hands shall the false Emperor fall.
Hoo boy....
Only die hard fans of a game could spin them making the game annoying and a gigantic time sink in every facet they can into a:
"It's an investment, you should be happy!!"
F2P argument..
The REAL truth that nobody likes to talk about happened at the start during launch.There is no way this game goes f2p from launch even though it's budget was not that great very ho hum in reality.Only after sales completely stop or go stagnant that they shift to a new f2p format in hopes of gaining SOME new money.Also adding some f2p players keeps the player base adequate or the supporters start to leave because the game world is empty.
Bonus xp is NEVER anything to brag about,if the game is designed around a certain % of xp then keep it that way,quit trying lame bribes.The PURPOSE of playing a rpg is to role play yoru character,how much xp you get should NEVER be a factor,you are there for the FUN not for an xp number.If you want more xp then EARN it through game mechanics.XP is a representation of your achievements not to be a bribe that a dev uses.Point is that if you need bonus xp to play a game,then you most certainly are not enjoying yourself.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
The Patron benefits are now more than worth the money if you play rift regularly (don't forget, you can also purchase REX [rift exchange] with in game currency from other players that will allow you to purchase anything from the Rift Store...including Patron status.)
However, it is possible that while Patron status is a good value, the new expansion content, Nightmare Tide, might be designed around being a Patron. Meaning that experience, currencies, notoriety, etc will be balanced around being a Patron - such that players may feel punished for not being one. Only time will tell...
Since Rift switched its model I keep praising it because of its approach, which I missed from the f2p / freemium market the previous years. Meaning, not restrict and devalue and bash the heads of f2p peeps, give them the game and give bonuses to the subscribers instead. The result is the same (there's a quality gap between f2p and sub), still, the tone is much more positive...
I also wrote several times (on here too), that after the switch I went back, checked the model (which was great and amazingly generous for former players), and then subbed for a month. On one side for giving a thumbs-up to Trion, and on the other to check the Patron life too. According to that experience, for Chris's questions:
"Are you a patron? Considering it?" nope, I'm not a Patron, I don't even play currently. Rift never really was my game, to be honest.
But if I ever will go back, I'll definitely go back as a Patron. Even with it's previous stage, as I wrote in this forum after my month expired: the summonable bank, the loyalty system, and the 10% discount alone makes it a worthy deal. Especially the vault and trade option on the field. I got spoiled by that during the month, after the month I seek that option in every game I play (LotRO has it too, luckily )
With this upgrade, the answer to the title question "Is the Patron Status Worth It?" is a more definite yes. Not because of the xp, favor, etc. boosts, who cares about that, right? but because of the quality-of-life changes. Again I cite LotRO since it has these things too: faster mount-up sounds lame, but it's great. 30min teleport (in LotRO the hurried traveller purchase) is also great. Actually in LotRO with the latest update you can lower it to 5min, which is awesome.
In short, or for those tl;dr people: Is the Patron Status Worth It? - Yes. And I don't even like Rift that much

Yes, because it's not like different people enjoy different aspects of RPGs or anything, right? If they're not slogging an alt through content they've already done 2 - 3 times and enjoying every minute of it while ignoring their XP bar, then they're doing it wrong!
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!
So let me get this straight: It's greedy to want to keep the money you've earned, but it's NOT greedy to want to take money that somebody else earned away from them? Only the left wing could come up with that kind of insane troll logic. It's got the stamp of their common core all over it.
I've been subbed all along and level my army of alts via crafting dailies and weeklies. That 40% buff to XP makes a heck of a difference, especially when combined with the PA XP buffs as well. Those alts are almost 60 now and they have far more PA to spend and tweak than my main did.
Having said that, the loyalty points for subbing (7k per month) add up when you have a loyalty goal in mind, perhaps especially as a dimensioneer.

You know PA is account wide now right?.. not character specific
I, for one, wish there was a credit stipend.. it's what keeps me from subbing.. my girlfriend and i are max level already.. so these xp boosts are useless.. but i don't consider the game completed yet as there are still many things we have yet to do.. another thing is, we are both collectors, so until we have collected every single achievement/shiny object we can, the game is far from complete.. now some of these things that you can collect can only be bought with "REX".. and to get the REX, i now have to pay them extra on top of my yearly subscription..
everyone can bash SWTOR for their F2P system because, yeah, it sucks.. but at least they give credits to those who subscribe so that we can buy these extra things goodies.. which i have, i have plenty of outfits and weapons and mounts and toys that have come through the cartel market.. much more valuable than xp boosts when i'm already max level.. another thing is those bogus "chests".. i think all games need to remove these money sinks.. i've seen people spend hundreds of dollars for a CHANCE to get an item and still never get it.. i mean.. thats ridiculous to spend that much imo, but its their money.. anyways, thats just my 2 CC's/REX..
I 100% agree with the article. Point , I am getting the subscription Rift I was paying for for free now. The Patron subscription are just "perks" and add nothing to the experience over all.
Right now I am a returning player. I was very into Rift when it came out at launch. Did all the raid content up until a few months after Hammerknell came out and got burned out with progression. I am leveling my main character and atm almost 59. I am enjoying the free content and will likely get the next expansion IF it includes all of the new souls since vanilla Rift. (not just the 4 new souls from the expansion)
<Sights, Clouded, In, False, Illusions>
40% is pretty insane; might be enough for me to re-sub. That being said, I disagree with the way Rift handles their patron system. I appreciate what they're trying to do, but I feel like something along the lines of SWTOR/LOTRO or Tibia is perfectly fair to the player and more profitable for the company.
Many will probably disagree with me, but I see no problem in a freemium system where you can get in for free, experience the game, see if you like the fundamentals, and if you really want to get into later content pony up for that sub. It could be partly that I'm old school and so not bothered by subs, but the way I look at it, a company of people has put hundreds of hours into work on this game, and if you play it on any regular kind of basis, you should feel bad NOT giving something for their effort. While I played Rift I had the patron status even though I felt the system was lacking, just because I liked the game. Plus I hate having to worry about the nickel and diming in in-game shops.
When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.
Credit Stipends would turn the game into a P2W faster because of REX, which you can turn into in game currency (gold or platinum as Rift does it)
Which would make acquiring enchantments, crafting mats, items, consumables much easier than F2P and would cause inflation at a higher rate.

Where can I hide
when the tears start to fall
When nothing really matters
who can I call
It hurts just to breathe
It hurts when I cry
Where can I go
when I just want to die
Do I have a choice
If I choose not to stay
Will the pain still exsist
If I just went away
Will anyone care
and what would they do
What If it were someone
special to you
If death Is so easy
then why do I fear
When life Is so hard
where will I go from here

i love it! Very depressing, but I think everyone has felt like this at some time or another.
This is very powerful an emotional. Beautifully written, and truly depressing. Well done!
Where do you go
It is hard to say
Do people really care
Why you feel this way
Not much I can do
But I have a spare ear
So if you want to
For you I am here
A great but sad poem and one that affects many people at different times. You have captured the emotions well in this. {{hugs}} I hope you feel brighter soon
I just feel so down as of late Brian. I dont want to feel this way, but it just comes on me at times. Its like life gives me one good day to get my guard down and then " Wham! " Depression strikes. Most of the time I get through it. I just wrote this to release some of the tension. I'm so thankful for wonderful friends as you Brian. I have missed you lately, and so glad you came by. Thank you my old friend. Blessings!
i kno the feeling way to well..more than i should at only 17. i kno how u feel and it is horrible. deprressed mood all the time mostly for me and i hope you get better and happier :)
Dearest Angellynn I trust in time you will push away this cloud of depression soon my friend. Never give up the climb no matter how steep it may be. An amazing write once more even though so emotional and sad. remember we nevr loose all the treasures within our hearts. Rainbows along the way Chiqui
Thank you Chiqui. I get like this around Mother and Fathers Day. It looks like I would have gotten through the mourning by now. It has been a long time since their passing. But I guess not. I'm still hanging on to the hand that has led me thus far with no intensions of letting go. Bless you!
Ouch this evoked emotion
Liked it. Well written.
You describe some strong feelings yet it's nothing worth thinking about dieing over in my opinion.
Thinking about killing yourself shows sings of weakness and I don't believe you consider yourself weak :)
"If death Is so easy
then why do I fear"
A question no one can answer...
Very emotional piece. Sorry it has taken me so long to catch up on your work. But you understand. School first. Right?
A heartbreaking account of how depression can grip us all like a vice or the teeth of a fierce hound ripping us to shreds to our soul within.A profound piece which really cut me in two.

Okay, I know what this story has some of you thinking. What are those astronomers up to again? Naming things… renaming things… isn't it all just silly? Well yes, and no. I think the "Manatee Nebula" is silly in all the right ways.
Why do I love this story? Well first, it's the telescope that took the image. This exquisite, gorgeous image was constructed with data from the newly revamped Jansky Very Large Array. This iconic set of 27 dishes arranged in a Y-formation in the New Mexico desert got a brand new life with major upgrades put in place over the last few years.
ANALYSIS: The Rise of a Zombie Nebula
Oh sure, at first glance it looks like the same telescope. But if you look deeper, you'll see all new receivers (collectors of radio light) that span a much broader range of wavelengths than the previous iteration. This opens the JVLA to a broader set of spectral features and makes it much more sensitive to faint radiation. More sensitivity means more science. Add to that a whole new fiber optic data transfer system and a brand new massive supercomputer at the back end, and you have some rather giddy astronomers.
Then, there is the nebula itself. Formerly known as W50, it is home to a strange phenomenon known as a microquasar. You may remember that a quasar is what is seen when a supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy is feeding off of the material around it. Well a microquasar is similar, except that it is powered by a stellar-mass black hole that formed in the death of a massive star in a supernova explosion. These are some pretty powerful forces at work that create the microquasar, its jets, and the bubble of a nebula that has been blown out around it.
BIG PIC: A Closer View of the 'Pacman' Nebula's Chompers
I also love that this story allows two different branches of science to come together and say, "Look at how awesome the universe is!" In one story, you can read about astrophysical phenomena and the giant, peaceful creatures that inhabit the Florida coasts. In fact, the newly named nebula was unveiled at the Manatee Festival at the site where many manatees come to rest in the winter.
Finally, I love this story because of the people involved. The suggestion for the name came from a remark made by Heidi Winter, the Executive Assistant to the Director of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. She is also one of the sweetest people I have ever known and had an enthusiasm for astronomy that was simply infectious. The idea was picked up on by Tania Burchell, Public Information Officer for the observatory and also one of the coolest people I know.
Tania spent a year working with manatees as a Park Ranger and makes an excellent case for why this nebula and those gentle giants are really so similar. For example, sadly, manatees are often injured and scarred by boat propellers, whereas the Manatee Nebula has been twisted up and scarred by the action of the microquasar jets. When else has an astrophysical object raised awareness for a distressing problem in the natural world on Earth?
BIG PIC: In the Shadows of the Eerie Pipe Nebula
Maybe some people think it is silly, but I think it is beautiful. After all, astronomy is one subject that brings people together to marvel at the wonders of the Universe. Usually, we focus on the very large scales of things. Sometimes it's nice to turn that focus around back to Earth and be reminded of the lovely treasures we have here, both in the natural world and in the people around us.
