  • Rated 3 out of 5 by from works great then gives up its ghost i was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy and ease of use. used it with confidence probably 1 to 3 times a month for about a year to a year and a half, then i just quit! there is no troubleshooting guide that comes with it, and so do not know if calibration is needed or if the control/ readout unit is under engineered for longevity.
    Date published: 2016-09-28
    Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great for about a year I like it when it works, but have gone through 3 of these. When they work, they work great and are easy to use. The temperature is pretty accurate. But usually after about a year, either the probe doesn't work or the unit stops working. I've tried others and went back to this, but expect that it won't work forever. Need to work on product durability
    Date published: 2015-12-26
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Husband's Favorite Gadget Our other thermometer died...dark days in our household. I got my husband this one for his birthday because some friends of ours recommended it. He loves it and uses it "almost" daily (he is very picky about meat done-ness). OXO products never disappoint.
    Date published: 2015-02-17
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Favorite Kitchen Tool Surprised by the less than favorable reviews - purchased this a couple of years ago and it quickly became my go-to kitchen tool. So accurate that when turned on, it actually registered the temperature inside our house before placing it into meat for cooking! The product only lasted about two years and then suddenly died. However, it was used multiple times a week for two years - a great investment!
    Date published: 2014-11-21
    Rated 1 out of 5 by from Don't buy it! It worked great and was very accurate, but completely quit working after approximately six months.
    Date published: 2014-10-20
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this thermometer I am so surprised by the other bad reviews of this thermometer. I just hopped online to buy a second one - we accidentally lit the first one on fire in a little grill incident. As with any thermometer you need to make sure you are putting the probe in the right place. Always the thinnest section of steak, always the middle of the poultry breast, etc. This tool has NEVER let me down and I have cooked perfect meats for years.
    Date published: 2014-02-01
    Rated 1 out of 5 by from inaccurate I just threw mine away! I have had it for a couple of years. It never worked accurately. My Thanksgiving turkey was under cooked and my Christmas roast was over cooked. To make matters worse, this thermometer eats batteries like crazy- I had to change them after every use!

Telling Tales – A Simple Prayer

To whom it may concern (i.e. Heavenly Father, Jesus, God, etc.)

I know it’s been awhile and I’m sorry about that. It’s just that when you let Kate Gosselin make it through six weeks of eliminations, my faith began to wane. Kidding! You know I like to open my prayers on a light note.

I’m sure You are aware of all that’s been going on lately. What with the volatile stock market, housing crisis and Kim Kardashian’s wedding, it’s been pretty tough on all of us financially. (Except for those Kardashians who seem to be the leaders of a new crowd making a fortune by being famous for absolutely NOTHING!)

Now I’m not saying we don’t deserve a little hardship. It was the greed wasn’t it? Or was it how we all tried to buy our way into modern day salvation with fancy cars, obnoxious housing, expensive vacations and ‘questionable’ Facebook relationships? We didn’t worry about money. Nope, we just worried about the other ‘M’ word; MORE. Nobody noticed our worry though. How could they when Botox erased any hint of emotion?

It wasn’t just the rich either. Each and every class experienced their own form of over indulgence. And just about all of us have been affected by foreclosures, bankruptcy and reality television. (I mean seriously, what is going on with TV programming? Thank God – or You, rather for Modern Family. If I have to watch another preview of, So You Think You Can Dance With The Real Housewives of Nutbush, I’m going to scream… Then of course I’ll DVR it because who would want to miss a show like that?)

So back to my prayer, God. Part of me would like to say, ‘enough already! Bring back a strong housing market, honest politicians, a thriving stock market and John F. Kennedy Jr!’ But then where would the lesson be? Truth is, the boom of housing was a lie created by dishonest people. So instead of that, I’ll just settle for a market that allows a family to live in a home they can afford, not necessarily own. The politician thing is probably a moot point since we are supposed to keep you two-You (God) and Them (politicians) – separate. But, I will say this, maybe you can just help us be more mindful of criticisms we make about our leaders. One person didn’t cause the mess we seem to be in now and one person can’t save us from it either. And help those politicians remember they probably got into politics to make a change not capture more votes. It takes a village, geez!  I get it that the stock market is unpredictable. But something needs to be done about that irritatingly buzzed out trading floor. No wonder traders have high blood pressure and high divorce rates. And I’m keenly aware that me and John-John were never meant to be. That was added for dramatic effect.

Before closing, I’d like to say thank you for everything. Because in spite of it all, bad TV, depleting bank accounts and a mother-in-law who lives next door, I am very happy with all You’ve given me, except for the stretch marks… that was just mean. It feels a little weird saying this to the Almighty but, good job!

NEB grants North Montney pipeline extension

Published by
World Pipelines,

The sunset clause for the North Montney pipeline project declared that construction on the North Montney pipeline project must begin before 10 June 2016 or approval for the project will expire. However, on 28 March 2016, NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) wrote to the NEB, asking whether the sunset clause could be extended for one year – until 10 June 2017.

In its request, NGTL said that it would not be in a position to begin construction of the pipeline until Progress Energy Canada Ltd. decides whether or not to proceed with the Pacific NorthWest LNG project.

In response to this request, the National Energy Board (NEB) has decided to extend the date in the sunset clause to the to 10 June 2017. However, the sunset clause date change does not come into effect unless Governor in Council approves it.

In a letter to the proponents, the NEB noted that the project is still in the public interest and the original project conditions, that require it to be designed, constructed and operated in a way that is safe and protects the environment, still stand.

The North Montney pipeline project proposes to build and operate 301 km of natural gas pipeline and the related facilities. It will connect NGTL's Groundbirch Mainline to the North Montney gas fields in northeastern British Columbia.

The North Montney project would tie into the proposed Prince Rupert gas transmission pipeline, which intends to transport natural gas to the Pacific NorthWest liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Prince Rupert, BC.

• Greenspan's Animal Spirits

    We've been watching with amazement, and sometimes amusement, the not-so-epic debate over whether the Federal Reserve would reduce interest rates by a quarter point, or a half, at its June meeting yesterday. The Fed chose a quarter, getting its target rate down to the ripe round number of 1%, but in the end it really doesn't matter.

    Chairman Alan Greenspan has for some time had the money supply opened up like the Colorado in spring. The drama is whether all of that liquidity in the system will help spur the economy back to...

    New Study Finds Youths Who Engage in Activity Are Likely to Smoke or Drink

    Nearly one-third of teenage females use tanning booths and youths in general who engage in the practice are more likely to participate in other risky health behaviors such as drinking and smoking, according to a new study.

    The study, appearing in the September issue of the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, examined the association between indoor tanning and certain lifestyle factors. Researchers found that 28.1% of female and 6.9% of male non-Hispanic white adolescents age 13 to 19 have used a tanning booth...

News   Advocacy & Policy

WSNA statement in support of DACA

The following statement can be attributed to Washington State Nurses Association Executive Director Sally Watkins, Ph.D., RN.

Across our country, nearly 800,000 young people have just been given notice that they may no longer be welcome in the only country most of them have ever called home.

These are young people who are furthering their education, serving our country and giving back to their communities. Here in Washington state, many nursing students and working nurses are training and caring for patients thanks to their DACA status. We value what these students and nurses contribute to creating better health outcomes for everyone. The research on this is clear: Patients tend to receive better quality care when health professionals mirror the ethnic, racial and linguistic backgrounds of their patients.

One of our members, Jessica Esparza, RN, completed her nursing education and works as a registered nurse at Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee thanks to the DACA program. As a bilingual nurse with strong roots in the community, Jessica is often called on to translate and advocate for the patients she sees in the medical oncology unit and throughout the hospital, delivering culturally sensitive, patient-centered care. Recently, she was asked by a physician to talk to a Spanish-speaking patient about their cancer diagnosis.

Of the prospect of DACA ending she said: “When I heard about it I was very frustrated, because I’ve been working for two years and helping my community. If I don’t have a work permit, I can’t work as a nurse anymore. I’m hoping something better will come out of this.”

Stories like this are a powerful testament to the benefits of DACA, and of the urgency with which Congress should act to retain these important protections for our colleagues and members of our communities.

We support the Western Washington chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses (WW-NAHN), whose Board of Directors, made the following statement:

We at WW-NAHN wish to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to supporting DACA students everywhere. Locally, we will continue to offer our inclusive scholarship, mentoring, networking opportunities and professional development goal setting. Nationwide the invaluable contributions made by DACA students are recognized and respected by at least 600 College Presidents, and we at WW-NAHN echo that sentiment with a call to action for all nursing academic settings and nursing organizations to educate themselves on what it means to be a DACA recipient, and how these students contribute to diversity in the nursing profession, and in addressing health disparities.

The requirements of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are strict: young people receiving DACA protections must have passed a background check, paid a $495 fee, and must currently be in school, serving in our military or contributing as part of our workforce.

We join the American Nurses Association in calling on Congress to work together to find a compassionate, bipartisan solution that respects the humanity of every individual affected by the President’s recent decision to rescind the executive action for those with DACA status.

entertainment > food

For a Friday night, we were still able to snag a table near the water and get reasonable service. Our first dinner there, so maybe we didn't order the right thing . . . our food was just okay. But then again, you're not going for the food.

Good atmosphere, live music, water views, relaxed, local . . . give it a try.

great view, food good, service not to good

What I love about this place is the view. It's a great place to sit outside in the summer and drink. The prices on the menu were reasonable. I ordered a dolphin caesar salad. Mind you it was my first time ever trying dolphin and since this was not a five start restaurant I was skeptical at first. Let me tell you it was really good! Highly recommend at this place. The worst part was the service. The waitress sucked. Never came by for refills and even waving her down she would still walk by.

great brezzy view horrible prepared food

I have been to Scottys 10 times.. I havent been there in 3 years and I invited a friend.. what a wonderful breezy view on a hot day.. you can sit there all day and drink if you wish..

The food and service was a disaster.. the shrimp appetizer was forgotten when ordered.. and then we it arrived it looked like two week old bait.. and the cocktail sauce literally had sat out for two weeks too.. horrid.. never seen anything so pathetic.. my guest threw up in his car afterward (no joke). The fish sandwich was undercooked.. the salad was OK.. The waitress even admitted that she has seen this poor performance before which was scary.

Don't go here unless you are interested in getting sick in your car afterward. :)

And if you do go.. just find the chart house and drive back to what looks and taste like the bait shop.

stone crab tutorial

For starters, ""stone crabs"" are ONLY the claws of the crab. It is illegal to catch a whole stone crab let alone serve it. Only the claws are harvested. Secondly, stone crabs are ALWAYS served cold. They are steamed immediately after being harvested and then chilled. I LOVE Scotty's but to each his own. Maybe if you knew what you were ordering you'd have been less disappointed.

Horrible Experience

First of all, it took us almost an hour to find because of where it is; I went to this place with a friend who wanted to take me out for my birthday... to go to this place was the worst idea ever. It took 10 minutes for anyone to come to our table and once they came back with our drinks, they tasted like sea water. Once our meals came out my so called ?stone crabs? (stone claws) were very cold; almost like they were in the freezer and my Caesar salad had no salad dressing (why call it a caesar salad without the caesar). My friend?s Philly cheese steak (more like Miami cheese steak) was horrible and he didn?t even eat it; he took one bite and was completely turned off by it. Basically; do not go to this restaurant. Bad service, bad lighting, no live performance, etc, etc. Save yourself the time, the energy, and the money.

Relax ansd enjoy the view

Great atmosphere and view. Unfortunately, one of the last affected establishments, so you really feel like you are in Florida USA!! Hard to go wrong here, great fish selections, cheeseburgers, sandwiches - and if Alison is behind the bar, try one of her terrific mojitos. Yes, service is slow, but that's what the mojito is for...

I was there on Saturday and all I can say is that it was awesome, good food, kool waitress, and awesome view.

I got there around 5:00pm, and didn't leave till 9:30.

I would highly recommend this place for someone who is visiting Miami, it's very layed back. No need to get decked out like the rest of Restaurants in Miami, just show up in your swimsuit and flip flops an your fine.

I will be going back for sure next weekend.

PS: Please lets continue to keep this place a top secret, don't tell your friends about...

I don't like it...I love it.

It is old Miami. Often has a small live band. Dogs are allowed. I only get the dolphin sandwich as the dolphin is fresh and delicious. Its really a beer and fresh fish sandwich place with real tropical amience.

New Chef is Terrible

We have been dining at Scotty's for years now, and decided to go for a meal just after new years, January 4th.

We ordered She Crab Soup & The Clam Chowder for starters, & Shrimp & Chips & BBQ Pork w/ Coleslaw for the main. The She Crab soup which is usually delicate and delicious, was watery and the chef used IMITATION CRAB instead of the usual she-crab. The Shrimp used was from FROZEN, which is shocking considering the restaurant was right on the water. The BBQ was watery and burnt, and the coleslaw was basically mayonnaise. We were completely shocked, as Scottys has always used fresh seafood and ingredients. Apart from the Clam Chowder, the quality of ingredients was appalling.

We told the waitress, and she explained to us that a lot of people had been complaining about the quality since someone new has taken over the Kitchen recently. She was very apologetic and comped our meal.

Cutting corners with the quality of ingredients saves a restaurant money in the short run, but when loyal customers stop returning, that is when the business begins to suffer.

If we do go back, it will only be to enjoy drinks by the water. We won't be eating anything off the menu.

Truly Miami on the water.

We just enjoyed our first visit to Scotty's, with another couple, the first week in December. It was a sit anywhere, ultra casual place with plastic tables and chairs, paper napkins, etc. Our cup of tea. We snagged a table at the very front overlooking the Bay and watched a few boats pass by just yards away. The weather was perfect and it was gorgeous. The waiter was pleasant, attentive, speedy and got all of our orders just right. We had assorted beers and cheeseburgers with fries. The burgers were good and the fries were so-so. There were a couple of very well-behaved dogs who had taken their people to lunch. Very cute. We loved the place and are taking our northern guests to lunch at Scotty's this weekend.

Open Innovation of ZEISS and the Advanced Retina Imaging Network advances Swept-Source OCT technology for better vision care

The collaboration of the Advanced Retina Imaging (ARI) Network, a global consortium of renowned clinical researchers, and the Medical Technology business group of ZEISS is opening new insights into retinal disease and driving the development of new OCT technology to advance patient care today and in the future. At ARVO 2017, ZEISS demonstrates new Swept-Source OCT and OCT Angiography technology, which was developed through its Open Innovation approach, to support researchers in their quest for new clinical applications for diseases affecting the retina.

DUBLIN, California USA / May 6, 2017.

At this year’s ARVO (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology) 2017 Annual Meeting, ZEISS is releasing a number of significant advancements to its PLEX Elite* 9000 Swept-Source OCT and OCT Angiography platform which were developed through ZEISS’ Open Innovation approach with the A R I Network. ZEISS will be demonstrating the potential of Swept-Source OCT with 200kHz technology; anterior segment OCT angiography; and new software for advanced vascular assessment for diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and Retinal Vein Occlusion (RVO). In addition to unveiling the widest field of view captured in a single OCT Angiography scan, the new Swept-Source technology from ZEISS will showcase the ability to rapidly acquire Ultra-Wide HD OCT Angiography for unprecedented visualization of retinal vasculature with up to a 70 degree field of view.

PLEX Elite 9000 from ZEISS, a powerful Swept-Source OCT and OCT Angiography platform, is offered as the clinical research technology at the core of the A R I Network. This technology allows the potential to see deeper, wider and in more detail from the vitreous to the sclera in the posterior segment. Each PLEX Elite imaging system in the A R I Network is maintained at the cutting edge with iterative technology upgrades which are developed through Open Innovation with the A R I Network, giving A R I Network members access to the latest innovations in retinal imaging technology.

The A R I Network is focused on exploring new clinical applications for the diagnosis and treatment of eye disease and through Open Innovation with ZEISS is advancing OCT innovation for clinical research and for daily ophthalmic practice. Since the launch of the A R I Network at the ARVO 2016 Annual Meeting, the consortium of clinicians at the forefront of retinal research will expand to over 200 clinical collaboration sites. Philip J. Rosenfeld, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman of the A R I Network, has formed a Steering Committee, consisting of sixteen of the world’s most distinguished retinal specialists, to guide the A R I Network’s clinical discovery agenda and to lead the A R I Network’s collaboration with the scientists at ZEISS to advance technology to support members in their work.

“ZEISS’ Swept-Source OCT and OCT Angiography platform is truly a remarkable breakthrough in our quest to achieve better, wider, deeper, and faster imaging of the retina and choroid. This technology opens up a new world of structural and microvascular clarity,” says Dr. Rosenfeld, Chairman of the A R I Network. “This collaboration between the retina experts in the A R I Network and the engineers and scientists at ZEISS is vital to the advancement of retinal and choroidal imaging and scientific discovery.”

“The A R I Network leverages the power of numbers with impressive global information sharing between top academic institutes allowing large studies with a higher number of patients than the usual collaboration with one or two centers,” says Nadia Waheed, M.D, M.P.H, Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Tufts Medical School and Director of the Boston Image Reading Center. “Plus through the Network, ZEISS responds to our study needs by developing new clinical tools to identify and quantify data and provides access to the highest quality imaging technology which is imperative for studying AMD, particularly dry AMD.”

“ZEISS has been the vanguard of OCT innovation since ZEISS introduced the first commercially available ophthalmic OCT in 1996. Now ZEISS is pushing the boundaries of traditional innovation methods with our Open Innovation approach which is rapidly advancing Swept Source technology,” says Jim Mazzo, Global President Ophthalmic Devices at Carl Zeiss Meditec. “This new prototype Swept Source OCT platform promises to provide even faster, deeper and higher definition scans than ever before helping researchers open new doors of discovery.”

“We are honored to collaborate with the members of the A R I Network to continually advance innovation in support of their work in understanding eye diseases,” says Dr. Ludwin Monz, President and CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec. “Collaboration is at the heart of ZEISS’ innovation process, Open Innovation with the rapid exchange of ideas and insights between researchers around the world and the scientists at ZEISS is helping fuel scientific discovery and accelerate technology development which may change vision care as we know it for the benefit of patients today and tomorrow.”

ZEISS Medical Technology will be exhibiting at the ARVO 2017 Annual Meeting in Baltimore, Booth 3615.

*PLEX Elite 9000 is CE Marked and available for sale in selected CE Mark countries. PLEX Elite 9000 is FDA cleared and available for sale in the US. However, the distribution of the device is limited to institutions conducting research. The recipient is responsible for obtaining IRB approval for site-sponsored research under non-significant risk IDE in order to participate in the Advanced Retina Imaging (A R I) Network and receive PLEX Elite tools and updates that may require FDA 510(k) review.

2016 Q1 review and outlook of Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland IPO Markets

IPO markets in Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland

2016 Q3 Review and Outlook

According to the latest review and outlook analysis of the initial public offering (IPO)  markets of Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland conducted by the National Public Offering Group of professional services organization Deloitte China, having backed by a number of large share flotations from Chinese financial services institutions, Hong Kong is expected to maintain its leadership in the global IPO fundraising ranking towards the end of third quarter of 2016. Without any prominent new listings, stock exchanges in Shanghai and Shenzhen are to follow that in New York.

By 30 September 2016, Hong Kong would have more than 80% of funds raised from Chinese financial services institutions, a significant jump from 49% of last year. The no-go decisions with U.S. interest rate hike in July and September helped excite the market and hurled some large offerings in July and thereafter. After months of concern over the downward pressure on the Chinese economy, the market was glad to see signs in August indicating that the Chinese economy is improving as well.

Looking ahead, Hong Kong's IPO momentum is expected to be braced capital inflows after the Renminbi is added into IMF's Special Drawing Right basket, investment from Mainland's insurance companies into Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect, and the U.S. interest rate hike expectation stabilizes.

At the same time, the IPO performance in Shanghai and Shenzhen are expected to be weakened when compared with last year despite a rebound in the third quarter after six slow months from the beginning of the year. A mega listing from a city commercial bank in August at last after none from the banking sector in China for many years has encouraged three other similar banks to go public and more are expected to join them.

In the fourth quarter, IPO activities at Shanghai and Shenzhen, however, are anticipated to remain stable at efforts of the authorities to regulate the stock market. Many of the IPOs will still be of manufacturing and technology companies and of small and medium scale.

Recycling ideas: sheep plush out of mitts and gloves

Recycling ideas: sheep plush out of mitts and gloves
So you’re wondering what to do with an unused faux-wool car wash mitt, an old pair of black fleece mitts, and an old pair of black chenille gloves (you’re not alone,  it’s been a confounding daily ponderable for me, too).  Well, with these items, you can make a new friend.

That’s right, I made this lovable little sheep using the above variety of mitts and gloves.  I picked up the car wash mitt from Dollarama a while back, saving it from a life of grimy slavery.  Perhaps my American readers can rescue a similar mitt from the Dollar Tree.  The advantage of living through blistering cold Canadian winters is I have a stash of old mittens and gloves to append to the car wash mitt.

To recreate this little fellow:
1. Sever the thumb off one of the fleece mitts.
2. On the second fleece mitt, cut along the side opposite the thumb.  Stop once you reach the length equal to where the thumb is joined.
3. On that same mitt, cut the cuff.
4. Sew the thumb on the open side of the second mitt (both turned inside out).  Sew the mitt shut.
5. Cut a slit along the middle of the mitt, the length of the car wash mitt cuff.  Turn right side out.
6. Cut together in one piece the index and middle fingers of the chenille gloves (pairs of legs).  On one of the gloves, sever the thumb (tail).
7. Turn the car wash mitt inside out.  Rip small openings in the seams for the legs and the tail.
8. Fill the legs and tail with the remaining unused fingers of the gloves.  Feed through the designated openings and sew onto the open seams of the car mitt.
9. Turn the car wash mitt right side out.  Fill with your choice of material.  I suggest the leftover pieces of mitts and scraps of an old sweater.
10.  Fill the head.  Wrap the opening around the cuff and sew together.  Add eyes.  My own eyes were set on the big googlies.
I know I won’t miss the mitts and gloves, now that I have something else to love.

Introducing: Nuclear Throne Together v9877

As you might know, last year I made Nuclear Throne Together, which is a mod for Nuclear Throne that adds online multiplayer, fixes some bugs, improves the cooperative mode, and otherwise is very nice.

Just about this time last year, Nuclear Throne update 98 has released, which remains the most recent official update of the game.

Today I've released what is the largest update to Nuclear Throne Together to date.

Modding support

Click for video - "Interdimensional Mutant Buster" by 9joao6

For the longest time, modding Nuclear Throne was a tricky thing to do - either you had to mod a pretty outdated version of the game, or have substantial understanding of GameMaker's file format and "virtual machine" (which is something very few people did).

This changes now - with the new NTT update, anyone can make mods for Nuclear Throne.

With modding you can easily add new characters, weapons, enemies, bosses, mutations (pickable perks), crowns (game modifiers), and more.

Click for video - "Titank" by 9joao6

Modding functionality is deeply integrated with the game and networking, allowing you to load multiple mods at once, and you can play mods with a friend in online multiplayer.

Click for video - "Eternal labs" by Blaac, as seen in Matthanic's mod marathon stream

Now, if you have a bit of a technical background, you might be wondering how this magic works, as the subject of custom scripting in GameMaker games is considered problematic, let alone having it work in networked games.

What had happened is that late last year I have assembled a variant of GMLive that instead of generating JavaScript code generates purpose-specific bytecode, for which I have then wrote an interpreter.

Being something that you are clearly not supposed to do with GameMaker' Language, this involved some interesting changes to game structure, breaking the game, breaking the runtime, and even breaking a C++ compiler (causing it to basically explode during compilation).

The result is amaznig, however - you can change pretty much any game' variable, do things that clearly weren't meant to be possible, and all this is done with a familiar-looking (GameMaker-like) scripting language with a handful of new features on top of it.

People have already made a handful of mods for NTT, and the situation is likely to further improve in future.

Overall this breathes a lot of life into the game.

Native cursor support

Nuclear Throne is a game that demands fast reactions and solid aiming.

Unfortunately, the base game didn't couldn't fully comply on the second part - with the game being locked to 30FPS and drawing the cursor together with game graphics, you would end up with 15...45ms (0.5..1.5 frames) worth of lag, depending on your setup.

While many people didn't seem to mind much, that's not exactly optimal, and I've decided to address the situation - by writing a plugin that allows the game to take advantage of system-level cursor functions.

When enabled ("Options - Game - Native cursor"), instead of drawing the cursor inside the game window, the game will customize the actual mouse cursor, meaning that your cursor will update as fast as your screen permits. Even if you have a 60Hz screen, the difference is huge.

Mouselock option

If you've tried playing Nuclear Throne in a window (or have a multi-monitor setup), you might be well familiar with a sudden sense of panic as you accidentally click outside the game.

While the recent versions of the game made it auto-pause on such occasions, this still brings disorientation.

So it's something that I've adressed with an extension as well - again, allowing the game to work directly with the mouse cursor, warranting it will not leave the game area while the game window is active.

The option is similarly located under "Options - Game" menu.

Native scaling option

(click for full-size)

By default, Nuclear Throne runs at a 320x240 resolution. This is the resolution that the game and it's graphics were made for.

However, with a few of tricks, it is possible to force the game to render at a higher resolution that it's meant to. And, to tell you something, this actually looks pretty interesting.

The projectiles look nicer, portals look amazing, you can now even see the fine details on smoke particles, and everything looks just deliciously crisp on a high-resolution screen.

Being a fairly experimental option, some things do look slightly broken with it, and I'm sure that some people will prefer the game's usual looks, but in general it's worth trying out regardless.

The option can be found in "Options - Video - Pixel mode".

The mod now has an option to automatically look for a public game; If multiple players choose the option, they will be paired together.

While a pretty small feature, it is nice for those times when you expect someone to come online but don't want to keep staring at the game window while waiting for the lobby to pop up.

The update also features a couple of community-created skins for existing characters - Robot C (skin by BioOnPC, portrait art by NotYourSaggitarius) and Skeleton B (skin by BioOnPC, portrait art by Blaac). I am not going to spoil the second one to you, however.

Update checker

With mod's userbase noticeably showing noticeable fragmentation issues (some people were still playing the first public build when the last update released), it seemed important to notify the players when a new update comes out.

So there is now that - the mod will check the current version on the website and notify you with giant text on top of the main menu if there is a new version available, allowing to click that to navigate to the mod's page.

Bug fixes

Since Update 99 beta was released on Humble, I was able to backport all non-destructive fixes and balance changes from it to NTT.

The mod was also updated to be compatible with u99, meaning that it will continue working perfectly fine when the update releases.

Combined with countless existing fixes, the mod is valuable even if you only play alone.

In conclusion

While I could go on for quite a while (the complete changelog is over 300 items long), I assume that most of readers would like to get their hands on the mod already, so you can inspect NTT-ChangeLog by yourself for that.

I'm pretty happy with what is done - while some things could be made better (and will be addressed in future updates), I was able to accomplish pretty much everything that I wanted as far as the mod's scope goes.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone that supported the mod via, streamed/recorded the mod, or even just played it and told their friends about it - this means a lot to me.

  1. Hey YellowAfterLife,

    Thank you for your amazing work for the community, you work Surely deserves more praise!

    – Froggie

  2. Wanted to say this mod is fantastic and something the game sorely needed, and I’m legitimately excited to try out the numerous new features in the update. Please ignore that rude person earlier in the comments and keep working to improve this awesome game.

  3. Now, just need to wait for the appropriate people… or myself? to port Nuclear Throne Ultra, and it’ll be perfect

    • Seeing that people are also asking about this on subreddit time to time, perhaps y’all should organize on subreddit’s Discord and split the tasks – most of Ultra Mod’ content is by no means complex, and could be mimicked even without poking the author for source code.

  4. I don’t really can express what I feeling. There should definitely be words “fucking, “amazing” and “how”. This is a chance for a game to become something like crawl-ref Stone Soup roguelike – living for decades and constantly evolving by evergrowing community.

    If only Vlambeer ever opensourced NT on some therms. In a galaxy far-far away… 🙂

    • While my attempts to get a permission to publish instructions and bits of reconstructed game code for modding were unsuccessful, I think the new scripting system is more than a viable alternative – not only does it allow to legally mod the game (NTT mods by default contain no source material and thus can be distributed freely), but it also removes the barriers on the way (no need to compile anything; mods work in online multiplayer) and allows to load multiple mods at once, which is something that is always a problem with source code modding.

      Overall, while it could be a little faster (to allow doing even crazier things with the game), I’m more than happy with the result.

    • There’s currently a problem with website that the mod’ downloads are hosted on. Should be resolved shortly. If it won’t by tomorrow, I’ll see about uploading the mod to additional locations for safety.

Review: Ebola ’76, by Amir Tag Elsir (2012 / 2015)

~ Ebola ’76 (2012), by Amir Tag Elsir. Translated from Arabic by Charis Bredin and Emily Danby (Darf Publishers, 2015). ~

Ebola ’76 is a book by the Sudanese author Amir Tag Elsir, and though written originally in Arabic it situates its narrative beyond the (often quite restrictive) confines of the “Arabophone” context. The story is primarily that of Lewis Nawa, a factory worker who returns from Zaire / Democratic Republic of the Congo to his hometown in southern Sudan carrying the Ebola virus after a visit to his (now-dead) mistress. An outbreak ensues, claiming the lives of many locals including Lewis’s somewhat-estranged wife, while others who find themselves in the area try to weather the disease as best they can, in a desperate panic to avoid infection and (likely) death – with no help (internal or external) evidently forthcoming.

The topic is grim, but the darkly satirical way in which Elsir deals with it makes for compelling – if morbid – reading. The cast of supporting characters is also fascinating, and includes a maverick magician, a hysterical blind guitar player who fancies himself an international star, and the owner of the factory in which Lewis is employed who does his best to squeeze out any advantage he can out of the situation. One technique I especially liked was assigning narrative agency to the virus – “Ebola did this, Ebola did that,” etc. – which one could make interesting comments about in the context of post-humanism and sociological theory that assigns agency to non-humans. It is also a riff on the largely depersonalized concept of a “disease vector”: Lewis is a fully realised, if not especially nuanced, character, with his own hopes and fears and relationships, and though these might not ultimately influence the course of the outbreak they still form important aspects of the story that made it happen.

It’s a short novel, though, and one gets the feeling there is a scope for more exploration of its ideas. Perhaps necessarily, it’s also without a firm conclusion: the situation becomes bad, and stays such, and the possible outcomes – the virus clearing out, or continued suffering, or something in between – are only hinted at hypothetically. Still, it’s an important book to read especially in translation, even if just for its picturing of transnational circuits and concerns that often fall off the radar of readers of English-language literature. Not a gripping yarn, but certainly one that makes you think.

Verdict: recommended.

Beer #75 – March 19, 2010: Cricket’s Nocturne

March 19, 2010

Finally up to date with reviews, but here I am on the 78th day of the year, and only at beer #75.  Three beers behind… and in the immortal words of Humphrey Bogart, “the whole world is about three drinks behind.”  I guess I’m in the same boat right now!

Beer: Cricket’s Nocturne

Brewery: Cricket Hill Brewing Company, Fairfield, New Jersey

Style: Schwarzbier (Black Lager)

Serving Type: On-tap

Price: $5.00 pint at Cloverleaf Tavern, Caldwell, NJ

Availability: Occasional Offering

Glassware: Shaker Pint

Strength: 4.5 % ABV (alcohol by volume)

Drinkability: A surprisingly “light” dark beer… dark, malty flavor, but not heavy.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Quite dark (though there is not much light in the tavern either) with a thin tan head.

Aroma: Mild roasted coffee.

Mouthfeel: Somewhat thin, though the carbonation adds body.

Taste: Brown sugar and cola nut sweetness, followed by woody, earthy notes, a nice roasted flavor with hints of coffee and bakers chocolate, finishing with a slightly dry tanginess.

Pairing: A bacon cheeseburger… nothing like bacon with those roasted flavors.

Trivia: Schwarzbier is a German word that literally translates to “black beer”.  It is somewhat deceptively dark, since unlike porters and stouts which are ales brewed with a heavy hand of roasted and dark malts, Schwarzbiers are lagers brewed with a relatively smaller amount of these dark malts, lending dark color and just a little roasted and charred flavor.

Yoga Taught Me That I Don’t Always Have to Be Strong

July 5, 2016    BY Kathryn Ashworth

I used to think that downing cups of coffee all day long would give me sustainable energy. That if I was slimmer, I’d be happier. If I was nicer, more people would like me. And if I could practice this-or-that challenging asana, I’d prove myself to be “stronger.”

I was stuck on being “strong” or “having it all together” for a long time. And it’s easy to buy into that kind of thinking.

Contemporary culture is rife with images of unconquerable people. Walk through any self-help bookstore aisle and you’ll find cover images of awakened souls who have much to teach you. Open any tabloid and you’ll generally find that celebrities are either “breaking down; totally going nuts,” or that they’ve "found a new love, toned up, moved somewhere fabulous, and kicked their old life in the balls.”

When I began practicing yoga four years ago, I realized that the media's depictions of practice often represent similar idealizations of invulnerability. We are presented with the strong person who is culturally on point because they’re a yogi, totally in tune with themselves, and maybe even the universe.

The strong person is always totally unshakable.

What I didn’t realize was that I was buying into that kind of hype anymore.

It took me six years to learn how to process his death. It took traveling to Portugal, where I found myself at the feet of a master teacher.

Ten years ago, a friend of mine was murdered. It’s something I rarely talk about, but it totally changed my life—I’ll never be the same. It took me six years to learn how to process his death. It took traveling to Portugal, where I found myself at the feet of a master teacher.

During the 18 days I spent there, I simply allowed myself to break. I cried more in those weeks than I had ever, in my whole life, allowed myself to cry. I wept every day. Every minute of every day. Every moment. And it felt amazing.

When I arrived all I could think was, Jesus. I really, really needed this. I really needed yoga, and this ashram, this holy space, this teacher, a soft place to fall. Like some out-of-time, out-of-ordinary reality realm where I could be all heart.

No grit. No muscle necessary.

But when I left, and returned back to the States, I put the experience away in a neat little box. And I put my proverbial boxing gloves back on and thought: Surely if I could let go of this kind of loss, after carrying it around for so very long, I have no more attachments. Surely nothing can ever affect me so greatly again.

Alright, so, there’s actually a lot of truth to that. I am stronger. There’s something to be said about hitting rock bottom. People generally don’t fall back into that kind of hole. But I was a little too literal about the “nothing” part.

Looking back, maybe I thought I was enlightened or something. But that would have been far too simple.

In the yoga world, enlightenment often becomes our version of “found a new love, moved somewhere fabulous.” And maybe some of us are a little too quick to claim it, or at least to claim a sense that we cannot be defeated. According to Ram Dass in his epic book Grist for the Mill: “The predicament is that enlightenment is not an achievement; enlightenment is a transformation of being."

So what does this transformation of being entail?

I’m still not totally sure what it means to find lasting bliss, or unshakable happiness. Or what it means to surrender completely to wild, wild life. But I am starting to see that experiences (like happiness, even enlightenment) aren’t objects we can gather, or goals we should or can (again) achieve.

In order to be strong, we don’t necessarily have to conquer our human experience. We probably just need to get deep and honest about our inner work.

We probably also have to relate to, rather than avoid, suffering.

Years ago, when my grandfather was dying, my sister and I alternated spending time alone with him to express our goodbyes. When she returned from his room, she looked bewildered as tears streamed down her face:

“I just did the weirdest thing ever.”

“I had this feeling that I could breathe in his pain, so I did.”

“And I mean, who does that?” she continued.

“Who breathes in pain?”

I was spooked; immediately worried that on some psychic level she’d really harmed herself. Maybe she’d sucked his soul in somehow? That probably wasn’t good for her, and maybe not even him! (You know, just everyday thoughts.)

I felt I’d already found my teacher, my path in yoga; what was this Buddhism stuff?

Weeks later, I was standing in her kitchen. We’d just gone thrift shopping, and she had Pema Chödrön’s classic book Things Fall Apart in her hands. She was reading passages, trying to convince me to get the book myself. At that time I felt I’d already found my teacher, my path in yoga; what was this Buddhism stuff? And my belief was: Life can be hard. I get it. And I’m dropping it. I’m moving on. It’s time for me to be happy. I don’t want that “pain stuff” anymore.

But then we got to the part about tonglen practice, we both looked at each other wide-eyed, realizing that this practice was essentially what my sister had done when my grandfather was passing away. The practice, in brief, involves breathing in pain (whether personal or universal pain) so as to feel it fully. And on the exhale, if we have joy to send out into the world, we can. All of which is to suggest that instead of avoiding suffering, and all the uncomfortable aspects of life, we bring it in—into our lungs, into our being, into our experience. We bring it on.

And here’s what that little revelation, over the years, has taught me (and continues to teach me):

I’m not over life.

I’m still having a human experience.

Sometimes it hurts to be human. And I can’t always “win.”

I can’t always be strong.

What could softness, tenderness, vulnerability teach me instead?

The person who thinks she has to be strong still presents herself every now and then. But if I listen carefully enough, I begin to learn what she needs. Why she’s here. What she’s truly showing me. And in those moments, I have the opportunity to breathe her in—everything she is afraid to feel, whatever she’s running from, however she can’t “measure up”—and set her free.

Maybe that’s how we discover true strength.
