I ran across an ebayer using her art (90% sure it's without permission). Wanted to send a quick message on FA but her page has been locked.

Horseshoe crab are important medical blood donors

Fursday - Reading List - Fri 28 Feb 2014 - 17:41

Alexis C. Madrigal reveals the secret behind LAL, a test for seeing whether contamination has occurred. LAL is in fact the blood of the horseshoe crab which chemically reacts to bacteria.

“This gel immobilized the bacteria but did not kill them,” Bang wrote in the 1956 paper announcing the substance. “The gel or clot was stable and tough and remained so for several weeks at room temperature.”

If there is no bacterial contamination, then the coagulation does not occur, and the solution can be considered free of bacteria. It's a simple, nearly instantaneous test that goes by the name of the LAL, or Limulus amebocyte lysate, test (after the species name of the crab, Limulus polyphemus).

The article provides a fascinating behind the scenes look into how the miracle blood is harvested. What is interesting is these crabs are only bleed for up to 30% of their blood before being released back into the wild, far away from where they had been captured. You might have thought horseshoe crabs were simply rounded up and massacre when in fact medical companies keep morality rates under 30%. In addition:

The LAL test replaced the rather horrifying prospect of possibly contaminated substances being tested on "large colonies of rabbits." Pharma companies didn't like the rabbit process, either, because it was slow and expensive.

[Fursuit] Building a suit, no idea how to do large ears

Furry Reddit - Fri 28 Feb 2014 - 15:22

So, my character is half fennec, and as such has giiiaaaant ears. I'm wondering if anyone knows a good method of building 1+ foot ears? I have my doubts that the foam would be strong enough by itself, but I'm not sure what other materials I could use to support the ears.

Impressive fan made game imagining Pokémon in a first person world, with this add-on turning it into a virtual experience through the use of the Oculus Rift.

Pokémon 3D is a video game originally created by Nilllzz. It is heavily inspired by Minecraft, and the Pokémon series. Pokémon 3D focused on the strong points of Pokémon Gold and Silver versions and their remakes, and gives players a taste as to how the once 2D world they knew was in 3D.
