Helen from Georgia who has already sent me these 9 beautiful squares! Thank you Helen!!
Beth from Missouri
Dara from New York
Jessica from Michigan
Carol from Georgia
Cathy from Ohio
Maggie from Chicago
Welcome and thank you to all of you from me and Knit-a-Square!!
Sophie, one of my daughter Cathy's friends from college has found a real passion for knitting squares. She has already given me four, and this week Cathy brought home four more! Thanks so much Sophie!
Many of these people are also spreading the KAS word through family and community groups. This really is the next most important thing to making squares. There are more than enough of us in the world to warm these children! If you haven't liked the Facebook page yet, please hop over and do so! This is their gorgeous new landing page photo!
This is why I feel compelled to talk about blankets today. When promoting Knit-a-Square, we are often asked, "Why do they need blankets?" One reason, as I mentioned in an earlier post, is that it can get very cold in South Africa. The second seems quite obvious. Would you ever - no matter how much you might enjoy rugged, extreme camping - would you ever sleep without a blanket?
Everyone needs a covering to sleep well, but blankets are more than that. Think back to your childhood. Was there an object that you absolutley had to have in order to sleep? Even for the most loved, most secure children who grow up in warm homes, who lack nothing, security objects are essential for their development.
These are my children's security objects. I lost many hours of my life searching for them, but gained many hours of peace and sleep once they were found! The yellow blanket(well it was yellow!) is in my son's closet, but the three others are still slept with. I was glared at and interogated by the kids as I took their things from their rooms to photograph. "Where are you going with that? Well hurry up and bring it back!"
|22 year old blankie!
|Our 20 year old wasn't a blankie girl. This bear replaced her bunny that was tragically lost in a Home Depot when she was 5.
|17 year old blankie!
|12 year old blankie!
The blankets we are helping to make will not just keep the orphans warm. These blankets will help them develop a sense of self, a sense of security. They will provide comfort and solace in a reality that must be cruel beyond our imaginings. These blankets will, I hope, stay with these children as they grow to remind them that they are loved and that they are not alone.

I see what you are trying to say, that there is no hard proof, yet, that other lifeforms exist. But you do have to realize just how immense the rest of the universe is, actually never mind, because nobody can really comprehend the entirety of space. There is so much we don't know or haven't seen that it is sooo nearly undeniable that there is life elsewhere. To think we are the only lifeforms in the universe is an extremely arrogant and plain old stupid thing to say. Everything we have ever known about this universe is just the shores of the cosmic ocean, nobody has ever set foot in the rest of the ocean yet, and most people like you barely have their feet wet.

Quantum probability says that the odds are better for the power ball to get to 300 million fifty times in a row and for the same person to win every time it hits 300 million than for there not to be life out there. Basically the odds are something like 500 quintillion to 1 against there not being life somewhere in the universe other than earth.

Michael Crichton: The problem, of course, is that none of the terms can be known, and most cannot even be estimated. The only way to work the equation is to fill in with guesses. [...] As a result, the Drake equation can have any value from "billions and billions" to zero. An expression that can mean anything means nothing. Speaking precisely, the Drake equation is literally meaningless...

The Padma blooms on 26th January
By Yatish Yadav - NEW DELHI
Published: 30th Dec 2012 10:20:07 AM
The Padma award committee 2013 is comprised of the Principal Secretary to Prime Minister Pulok Chatterjee, Cabinet Secretary Ajit K Seth, Union Home Secretary R K Singh, nuclear scientist Anil Kakodkar and actor Ratna Pathak Shah.
"Actress and former chairperson of Censor Board Sharmila Tagore was chosen for the Padma Bhushan for distinguished service of high order. She has been nominated by National School of Drama."

A really hot female with an athletic and toned body whose philosophy to the practice of yoga carries over into other areas of life, sometimes right and sometimes wrong, and sometimes an annoyance to jealous bitches.
Co-worker #1: "Yoga Bitch sure works hard at her job. Our clients mostly love her. I'll admit she has an awesome body. She is such a bitch though. The other day I asked if ever she ate doughnuts. She patted my belly and asked if ever I did sit-ups. The bitch. I'm a lot bigger, I think I could take her." (Bites down into a doughnut.)

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Last month in San Diego, the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) held its first conference and exhibition. The meeting took the place of the former LabAutomation and SBS conferences. In addition to lecture presentations, roundtables, and workshops, the conference featured the introduction of a number of innovative new products.
Beckman Coulter Life Sciences launched SPRIworks HT*, a high-throughput system for fragment library preparation on Illumina next-generation sequencers. The product reportedly allows researchers to process libraries with greater speed and sample reproducibility while decreasing processing costs. SPRIworks HT, which utilizes built-in SPRI (Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization)-based per-well size selection, can process 96 fragment libraries in less than six hours with per-well size selection according to company officials.
Bio-Rad Laboratories exhibited its ProteOn™ HTE sensor chip that is intended for pharmaceutical researchers studying the interaction of polyhistidine-tagged protein with small molecule drugs using surface plasmon resonance. The chip's tris-NTA coated surface uses three NTA molecules instead of the traditional monomer version of the molecule, according to the company. Tris-NTA yields a strong binding interaction with the target, resulting in improved data quality, according to Jill Raymond, Bio-Rad marketing manager for protein interaction technologies.
"Used with Bio-Rad's high-throughput ProteOn XPR36 system, the HTE sensor chip employs a tris-NTA complex on its surface to bind polyhistidine-tagged molecules," said Raymond. "This allows researchers to improve binding stability, specificity, and data quality while reducing ligand decay. Bio-Rad has demonstrated that binding stability of polyhistidine-tagged proteins on the HTE sensor chip increased by up to 50% over mono-NTA chips and were approximately twice as selective."
Covaris unveiled the M220™AFA™ (Adaptive Focused Acoustics) Ultrasonicator, which was designed specifically for use with low-cost benchtop next-generation GS sequencers. M220 reproducibly fragments DNA from 150 bp–3 kb, has integrated chilling to save space and cost, and uses standard AFA consumables, explained Brian Paras, director of international sales and strategic marketing.
The company also displayed its new g-TUBE™, a novel consumable for shearing 6 kb to 20 kb DNA fragments. "The g-TUBE has a simple load, spin, and collect design for use on a standard laboratory centrifuge," continued Paras. "g-TUBE DNA shearing is fast, efficient, economical, and highly reproducible."
Hamilton Storage Technologies introduced BiOS, the company's third-generation automated system designed for ultra-low temperature storage of sensitive biological samples. According to Matt Hamilton, vp for Hamilton Storage Technologies, the scalable system ensures the integrity of 250,000 to more than 10 million sample tubes at temperatures down to -85°C.
All samples are stored in chest freezer compartments to maintain temperature stability. All internal workflows, including sample picking, are optimized to keep samples at ultra-low temperatures at all times, he continued, noting that system parts are easily accessible for service and maintenance.
"One- and two-dimension barcode reading and sample tracking produce complete chain-of-custody documentation, with software tools to support 21 CFR Part 11 compliance," he said. "Multiple redundant back-up systems ensure the samples stay at -85°C, even in emergencies. The BiOS can store and process multiple labware types in the same system."
Integra Biosciences launched its Viafill™ bulk reagent dispensing, multichannel pipetting and microplate washing instrument. The product comes with a choice of different tubing sets that allow the user to change between these three operation modes. Applications include reagent or media dispensing, cell seeding, plate washing, or serial dilutions.
Operating as a bulk reagent dispenser, the Viavill uses a choice of dispensing tube sets to enable reagent addition in volumes ranging from 0.5 µL to 10 mL into 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 96-, 384- and 1,536-well plates. A 16-channel tubing set is available to enable the filling of 384- and 1,536-well plates. All dispensing tubing sets are sold presterilized and are autoclavable enabling them to be re-used for further experiments, noted a company spokesperson.
Labcyte released a new software algorithm that, the company says, permits a greater range of fluid types to be automatically transferred with acoustic energy. "Dynamic Fluid Analysis™ enables the Echo® liquid-handling systems to adapt to fluid properties changes such as surface tension and viscosity and adjusts sound energy in real time with no operator intervention required," pointed out Mark Fischer-Colbrie, CEO.
Several examples of the QPix 400 next generation of microbial colony pickers from Molecular Devices were on display at SLAS. The 400 series, which includes the QPix 450 and QPix 460, with a third system, the QPix 400, to follow later in 2012, features the option to simultaneously detect colonies and quantify fluorescent markers.
"This prescreening step enables the colonies of interest to be objectively identified and selected," said Mark Truesdale, Ph.D., head of marketing. "Together with highly accurate robotics and organism-specific colony-picking pins, scientists can ensure that the right colony is picked every time, thus eliminating unnecessary work and expense downstream. An agar height sensor further increases accuracy at the picking stage."
Applications include areas such as protein expression, biofuel research, enzyme evolution, phage display, DNA sequencing and library generation and management, added Dr. Truesdale.
Epigenetics took center stage, or rather center booth, at the PerkinElmer stand with the launch of high-throughput cellular assays that reportedly allow for the direct measurement of endogenous epigenetic mark modulation for more relevant results.
These assays, based on the company's ALPHA technology and LANCE® Ultra technologies, are "extremely simple and automatable," to enable drug target validation and lead compound characterization, replacing more labor-intensive technologies such as Western blot and ELISA, according to Kevin Hrusovsky, president, life sciences and technology at PerkinElmer.
"In addition, the expanded epigenetic biochemical enzymatic assays and detection reagents are specifically validated for drug discovery research, for disease states including oncology and neurodegenerative disorders," he said.
The new products for SLAS included AlphaLISA cellular detection kits for H3K9 and H3K27, and AlphaLISA and LANCE Ultra In Vitro Toolbox that now covers over 30 validated enzymatic assays for readers and writers of the histone code, continued Hrusovsky.

Saw it at work for $5 CIB, and from the name alone (and awesome cover art), it was a no-brainer. Thoroughly enjoyed the Contra clone.
Also, the fist fight is great, I suggest you watch it.
General Chaos? :?
Shining Force series
Shining Force 2 is dabess
The Vectorman games were great! Too bad Sega hasn't bothered with making a new one of those.

Anyone remember Sword of Vermilion? I was totally addicted to that game when I was a wee lad.
Out of curiosity, wasn't there a thread like this a long time ago? Something about underrated or overlooked games?
...I ask of the guy who made the thread and didn't even bother to actually participate...
i was always a fan of chakan, i remember little to nothing about the game other than it being a hack n slash type game, but the main character looked cool and let's face it, that's why you buy games
If you have a physical Genesis, X-Men has one of the most amazing game twists of all time.
And X-Men 2: Clone Wars is actually a fabulous, fabulous game. Surprising but true!
I always loved Haunting: starting Polterguy such a unique game where you scare people out of your house. btw its an EA game back when EA did games other then sports.
Zombies ate my neighbors, Lion king, and whatever the fuck the Aerosmith game was called.

All eyes are on President Barack Obama and the first family today as he begins the first full day of his second term as the 44th president of the United States. But once the inaugural balls are over and attention turns once again to policies instead of festivities, the fight over firearms legislation will remain a center-stage issue.
Former President Bill Clinton, the last president to sign major gun control legislation with the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, had some advice for gun control supporters over the weekend. Clinton spoke for 40 minutes Saturday before a group of Democratic donors a joint meeting of the Obama National Finance Committee at the Newseum in Washington.
Clinton warned those in attendance not to look down on people who don't agree with them on the need for stricter firearms legislation.
"Do not be self-congratulatory about how brave you for being for this" effort to pass gun control measures, Clinton said, according to Politico. "The only brave people are the people who are going to lose their jobs if they vote with you."
Clinton was referring to US representatives who would become very vulnerable in their districts if they voted in favor of some of Obama's gun control proposals.
Clinton told those in attendance that "their hunting and their fishing" is all that a lot of people in rural America have and that it is counterproductive for gun control supporters to dismiss them. "Do not patronize the passionate supporters of your opponents by looking down your nose at them," Clinton said.
Clinton worked hard to help Obama get re-elected, by some accounts even overshadowing the president at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC, in September.
Now the former president is doing his best to get Obama and other Democrats who support gun control to respect the opinions of those on the other side of the issue. Clinton is absolutely right on this front. The vast majority of gun owners are responsible, law-abiding citizens. For many of them, hunting and gun culture are a way of life.
"A lot of these people live in a world very different from the world lived in by the people proposing these things," Clinton said in the Politico article. "I know because I come from this world."
Those who would implement stricter gun laws would be wise to first listen to the concerns of those who oppose such measures. Unfortunately, certain high-profile groups like the National Rifle Association are mistakenly considered to be speaking for all gun owners and Second Amendment supporters, which is not the case at all. In a spirit of mutual respect, legislators should seek out a genuine dialogue with law-abiding citizens who oppose gun control, and those citizens should step forward to do so without hyperbole or NRA-prepared talking points at the ready.
The gun-related violence of 2012 was some of the saddest and most devastating in American history, and although we would like solutions to be as simple as passing new laws, the realists among us know that laws alone rarely work. Clinton knows that good people from all walks of life manage to keep and use firearms regularly and responsibly without hurting anything other than game they clean, cook and eat. They may not own or want automatic weaponry, but they resent the idea of people who have never even fired a gun, much less owned one, passing laws about what kinds of guns others can own.
Obama and the Democratic Party would be wise to reflect on Clinton's words as they move forward with gun control legislation. Otherwise, all this talk about stricter gun laws may end up being full of sound and fury, ultimately signifying nothing.
