The Canadian Centre for International Justice (CCIJ) stands in solidarity with all refugees who have been affected by President Trump's Executive Order banning nationals of Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. Deporting refugees back to Syria or any other conflict zone is a violation of international law and human rights.
We also stand in solidarity with the lawyers across the United States who are fighting for the rights of these refugees and other affected individuals by using the legal and judicial system to prevent inhumane removals and deportations.
The mandate of CCIJ is to assist and support survivors of atrocities as they seek justice and redress for the human rights abuses they have suffered. The majority of our clients are refugees who have found safety and security in Canada. Indeed, refugees are by definition victims and witnesses of gross human rights abuses, who flee their country of origin because of failures in our international justice system to hold their perpetrators accountable.
Turning refugees away from safety and into harm's way constitutes a human rights violation, a breach of the Refugee Convention – to which Canada and the United States are a party – and contravenes every principle for which CCIJ stands.
In the spirit of our mandate, we are providing resources below to all individuals in Canada who would like to ensure that this country remains open and welcoming to all refugees, including those whose status has been jeopardized by President Trump's Executive Order.
Together, we can make a difference.

James Wesley, Rawles latest book Survivors follows a handful of determined individuals as they try to make their way to safety during a complete government and financial collapse. The story takes place during the same period of chaos as with the author's earlier book Patriots.
By James, a contributing author of SurvivalCache.com
The main character in Survivors is Captain Andrew Laine, a young Army ordnance officer serving in Afghanistan at the beginning of the so called "Crunch", a period of hyperinflation set off by a full scale default on US Treasuries followed by a worldwide stock market crash. This collapse of our modern economic system brings about the rise of large criminal gangs and various government personnel, both foreign and domestic, who attempt to grab power in the chaos.
The book follows Captain Laine as he attempts to reach his fiancee, Kaylee Schmidt in New Mexico as the oversea military base where Captain Laine is station basically disintegrates from lack of funding and command structure. Captain Laine's trip is anything but easy. US Dollars in which he is paid are accepted almost no where, military (MAC) flights have been suspended, communications to the United States are intermittent at best and food is hard to come by. All the while, a large criminal gang which crushes small towns is on a collision course with his loved ones.
Favorite Part
I liked the idea of the criminal gang and how they operated both before the "Crunch" and afterwards. I also enjoyed Andrew Laine's creative ways to travel back to the United States by sailboat, horseback, foot, etc. and the encounters he had along the way with people who helped him out of the goodness of their hearts.
For me personally, I like my survival books with only one helping of religion. This book had just enough religion to turn me off. Some of the sequences where people stopped to pray for 10 to 15 minutes seemed a little odd to me. Also the characters were a little hard to follow even though the author provided a list of all of the 60 characters with descriptions in the front of the book. Maybe I should have taken that list as a hint that I would need to reference it often (and I did). The ending of the book was probably the most disappointing part for me. When I got to page 371, the Acknowledgments page, I was seriously thinking that someone had pulled a prank on me and tore out the last chapter of the book. I had just gotten into the book – ugh!!!
I have read all of Rawles' books "How to Survive TEOTWAWKI", "Patriots", and now "Survivors". I would have to say that Survivors is my least favorite of the three. I guess you can't win them all. On the other hand, writing a book is tough and being a critic is easy.

TELLER COUNTY, Colo. — The Idaho nurse being investigated in connection with the disappearance of Kelsey Berreth is due in a Teller County court Friday morning.
Krystal Jean Lee Kenney, 32, faces one count of tampering with physical evidence, a class 6 felony, according to a complaint filed in Teller County Court.
The complaint says Kenney, between Nov. 24, 2018 and Nov. 25, 2018 "unlawfully and feloniously destroyed, mutilated, concealed, removed or altered physical evidence with intent to impair its verity or availability in the pending or prospective official proceeding."
Last month, sources told NBC News a woman was being investigated for possibly disposing of Berreth's cell phone. That woman has since been identified as Kenney. She's expected to appear in Teller County court at 8:30 a.m. Friday.
Details about Kenney and how she is connected to the Berreth case are limited at this time, but it has been confirmed to NBC that she is a nurse from Twin Falls, Idaho. That is about 35 miles from Gooding, Idaho, where investigators previously said Berreth's phone pinged on Nov. 25.
RELATED: Kelsey Berreth case: A timeline of events so far
Berreth was last seen on Nov. 22, 2018 shopping at a Safeway store with her daughter. The Woodland Park mother wasn't reported missing until 10 days later, Dec. 2, when Berreth's mother Cheryl said she was having a difficult time getting ahold of her 29-year-old daughter.
Berreth's fiancé, Patrick Frazee, was formally charged in late December with five criminal charges in connection to her disappearance. One of the charges includes first-degree murder, despite the fact that Berreth's body has not been recovered yet.
Investigators said previously that they believe Berreth is no longer alive and that she was killed in her Woodland Park home. Her body has not been located.
"Krystal Kenney may be the key to the prosecution's case against Frazee," said 9NEWS Legal Analyst Scott Robinson.
"The reason that Kenney is so important to the prosecution, and conversely worrisome to the defense, is that she could provide the link to explain the ping of Kelsey's phone in Idaho three days after she last was seen in Colorado," Robinson added.
"And if that phone was then discarded, disposed of [or] destroyed, and [if] it was done by Kenney, prosecutors can use the threat of incarceration for a felony in order to get testimony from Kenney implicating Frazee," he said.

(What a pedophile priest survivor discovered when she took to the internet to seek justice. To be posted on line here at City of Angels 15 through 2015. First excerpt coming in January.)
April 2012: Okay just called St. Peter Damian Church and said, "I'm Katy Jones and I'm in town for six weeks and wondered if you have boxes of stuff I can go through from the early years of the church say, 1949 to 1955."
I said, "My dad was an usher there then and my mom played the organ, so I was hoping I'd be able to find pictures or old news clippings about the church from that time. I wondered if you have anything?"
She said "There is something in storage." And then she asked, "What was your name again?"
My dang inability to lie clicked in, and before I knew it I said "Ebeling. The family name is Ebeling. His name was George, hers was Lucille."
It seemed to be taking her a while to write that down in the silence from the other end of the phone, then she said, "Okay, I'll check into it and call you back."
We'll see.
Yes, I filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Archdiocese last year, along with my sister, because we were molested in the fifties by just one of three pedophile priests at St. Peter Damian in Bartlett IL, but hey, my dad helped found this church.
My plan had been to show up in person and the phone call was just to find out when there was a person in the office who could show me boxes, as last time I went during posted office hours there was no one there.
But now I said the name Ebeling to her on the phone.
We'll see if she calls back.
I'm not good at subterfuge at all.
December 2014: They never called.

Update: Fayetteville City Hospital announces Sept. closing date
3 Remaining patients moved by end of month
Fayetteville City Hospital's official closing day is September 16. Officials said three remaining patients will be moved by end of the month.
The decision was made by Washington Regional leadership after considering the timing of finalizing a long-term plan for the facility and the age and accelerating deterioration of the physical plant, officials said.
The decision to close the hospital comes just weeks after a 40/29 News investigation exposed deteriorating conditions at the facility.
Washington Regional officials said they have been working with assisted-living residents and their families in placing them in other long-term care facilities. Washington Regional will offer job-placement assistance to Fayetteville City Hospital staff members, including giving priority status to transfer to other jobs within the Washington Regional system.
"We will continue to be diligent in determining the best course regarding our range of services for seniors while assessing the feasibility of building a replacement facility over the coming months," said Bill Bradley, Washington Regional president and CEO. "As we begin to transition our residents and assist our staff, we are grateful that our region supports several new long-term and residential care facilities that we believe can help serve as a placement solution."
As part of its investigation, 40/29 News obtained documents from the Department of Human Services Long-Term Care Division, documenting what they found on a visit to the nursing home on May 31.
In their findings, the division documents a leaky roof, plumbing problems that cause brown stains on the floors and a disconnected toilet that sat in an empty room covered with feces which, according to the report, put more than 40 patients at risk of harm.
According to the letter from June 13, the nursing home was given 10 days to come up with a plan of correction or it will face further action. That action could be removing the nursing home's rights to receive Medicare or Medicaid payments.
40/29 News sources, that the station is keeping concealed, said, "A lot of times, if there's too much water on the floor, the people are left in bed so they don't fall in that water."
On June 21, there was also a complaint made to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration alleging mold in areas near the kitchen.
According to Jack Morris, vice president of logistics for Washington Regional Medical Center, those areas have since been quarantined.
"They determined there were two actions we needed to take; we have taken both those actions," Morris said.
DHS approved a plan of correction and presumed that the facility would achieve substantial correction by June 30.
More than a week later, DHS officials had not returned to inspect the facility.
In the past five days, sources sent 40/29 News pictures and videos they say were taken inside the facility that show ceiling tiles removed and large barrels catching leaking water outside of a room.
"I'm not certain what you're looking at there, but I know we are doing preventive maintenance throughout our building," Morris said. "In that situation, we would be removing ceiling tiles in order to be getting into heating and air units and to do roof repairs, whatever needed to be done at that time."
Under the DHS-approved correction plan, the nursing home has a projected date of Aug. 1 to begin the roof repair.
"We have actually had it reported to us that there are roaches that are crawling on the people's water pitchers and their personal property," said a 40/29 News source.
Sources told 40/29 News that the air conditioning in the nursing home stops working three to four times a week, for a few hours at a time.
Morris said that one air conditioning unit was working at less than full capacity, but the temperature was still staying below 82 degrees. He also said state officials were in on Friday to verify the temperature.

Hi, everyone!!
Today I would like to share my original recipe of tomato sauce paste which can be used various way,as I mentioned yesterday. Please be aware that this is not a recipe of tomato sauce. This is the recipe of paste so that you can make brilliant tomato sauce easily. I usually make it whenever I can, and keep it in the fridge. Then when you cook dinner, all you have to do is just add this paste into a tin of tomato in the sauce pan.
This recipe is highly recommended, especially if you are a busy person who wants to cook by yourself but haven't got any time for it. I will share the example of the use next time. Now, let's have a look of instruction!!
- 1/2 of onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3 tomatoes or 200g of tin tomato
- 2 tbspoons of olive oil
- A bit of salt and pepper
- Finely chop onion and garlic.
- Pour olive oil into a sauce pan, and pan fry onion and garlic until they get soft and smell nice.
- Add seasonings.
- Mix the onion and garlic from step3. and tomato in a blender.(Chop tomatoes roughly if you need.)
- Turn on the blender and keep going until they become smooth.
- Keep the paste in a small container in the fridge.
This is the example I am going to share next time.
Woo!! I can't wait to share the recipe!!

The Christmas Spirit
Right about now is when – as a kid – I would get uncontrollably excited for Christmas Day. So my guess is that right about now is when parents hit THE WALL. You've been standing in cash register lines for what feels like centuries. You've spent more money than you earned in all of your 20′s on toys that will give you migraines through all of your 40′s. You will have to sell your '03 Corolla just to afford enough batteries to power their endless whirring and beeping.
So to you, I just want to say – everything you're doing matters, no matter how big or small. So give yourself a moment to breathe. Your children might not realize it now, but they will know how much you loved them when they think back on these years. That is bigger than any gift you can give. And it isn't the big piles of presents under the Christmas tree that they will remember. It's how much you must have loved them to have gone to Wal-Mart at all ever.

I love this so much! It has so much flavor. I have never made mushrooms that taste so good. And you have to have rice or something to soak up all of the wonderful sauce. It takes a little while to make. But it isn't hard, just a little time consuming.
I highly recommend trying this. The recipe is perfect. I did not change any of the ingredients, only the wording. The guy who developed the recipe, Garrett McCord, blogs over at Vanilla Garlic. You should go check it out.
Sweet and Spicy Mushroom Stir Fry
This recipe is slightly adapted from Simple Recipes.
- 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon shaoxing cooking wine or cooking sherry
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2-5 dried red chiles roughly chopped or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons sesame, grapeseed, or other high smoke point oil, divided
- 2 pounds mushrooms (oyster, crimini, button, shitake, enoki, whatever) roughly chopped or quartered
- 1 1/2 cups of snow peas or snap peas, de-stringed
- toasted sesame seeds (optional)
1. First make the glaze and the sauce. To make the glaze, add all the ingredients and then whisk. Same thing for the sauce.
2. Next place 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. When the oil is glistening and a bead of water evaporates in under a second add the mushrooms and toss. Let the mushrooms cook until they get squeaky and start to loss their water. At that time add the glaze. Keep the stir fry on high heat until the glaze boils off, approx. 5-6 minutes. When there is barely any liquid left take the mushrooms off the heat and set them aside in a bowl.
3. Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining two tablespoons of oil. Put the garlic, ginger, and chilies in the skillet. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the peas and toss for about 30 more seconds.
4. Increase heat to high. Add the sauce and allow the mixture to come to a boil. The sauce will thicken considerable. Add the mushrooms back to the mixture and cook for about 20 seconds. Turn off the heat and serve over rice. Garnish with sesame seeds if you want.

Jerusalem Artichokes (also called sunchokes) are another plant with a weird, fun name. I brought some to work to try to give them away, and because I work at a library, this prompted a whole conversation about the origin of their name.
So, according to this article, Samuel Champlain thought they tasted like artichokes (they don't, in my opinion), and
when Jerusalem artichokes arrived in Italy sometime before 1633, the Italian word for sunflower, "girasole" which means "turning to the sun," was somehow later corrupted into the word "Jerusalem."
So there you have it. More convoluted, and only slightly less charming, than the story behind Good King Henry.
Jerusalem artichokes are an interesting perennial vegetable that can be eaten in roughly the same ways as a potato. The plants themselves will grow very tall (like 6 feet) and look like sunflowers (without the flower part). They are easy to care for, but you should dig them up in the fall, harvest some to eat, and then cover the rest back up to grow for the following year. If you don't do this, they will gradually spread around your garden. Mine are growing in a raised bed, like this:
I have dug some up to give away every year, and this patch has still doubled in size in three growing seasons.
I bought my original seed sunchokes from Hope Seeds – variety Skorospelka – in the spring of 2013, I think. They're sold out of all varieties right now, but if you're in the Edmonton area, leave a comment on this post and I'd be happy to share some with you (I'm serious. I have so many); or wait until next spring.
Time to give out an arbitrary rating!
- Jerusalem artichokes have been very hardy in my garden, even in this raised bed.
- They are pretty tasty – or at least, they're easy to integrate into other dishes, as you would with potato. (I don't find they have a very strong taste.)
- They spread in a manageable way, and create enough new plants to share. Some people find them a bit too spread-y, but I haven't found that so far.
- It's fun to eat vegetables that you dig up from the ground, and that's a fact.
- They make you fart. Which is fun.
- They grow quite tall and straight, like sunflowers, so they would be good as a privacy hedge.

Yesterday, the Ninth Circuit ruled copyright owners must consider the fair use doctrine before sending a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in Lenz v. Universal Music Group. Read the case here: Lenz v. UMG – 9th Circuit
The case centered on this video.
As a father of two kids, the scene is very familiar. After the innocuous video was posted, Universal Music Group, the holder of the rights to Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" sent a takedown notice under the DMCA.
The DMCA is a powerful weapon, but this is the first time a court has warned that copyright holders need to use it with some care. Generally, the DMCA works like this: a copyright owner sends a takedown notice to YouTube or wherever the infringing material is being hosted or displayed. To avoid any liability for the infringement, sites like YouTube immediately take it down and send a notice to the person who originally posted it. That person can challenge the takedown notice by going to court which is what happened in this case where the Electronic Frontier Foundation helped the mother.
The mother won at trial and recovered her attorneys' fees under a rarely enforced section 512(f) process that allows for counter-challenges to prevail if the takedown was done in bad faith.
According to the Ninth Circuit, before sending the notice, a copyright holder is supposed to consider whether the allegedly infringing material is a fair use and only send a takedown if there is a good faith conclusion that the targeted upload is not a protected fair use of the copyrighted work.
While that sounds good, fair use is not easy for laypeople to understand because judges and lawyers have a hard time with it. Fair use is a factually-specific inquiry and there is no bright line test. Courts consider these four factors:
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
There are a lot of close calls when it comes to fair use – the "dancing baby" was not one of them. I certainly would not re-play that racket to avoid having to pay to download "Let's Go Crazy."
The court recognized, on the other hand, that with rampant and easy infringement on the internet, a rights holder does not have to do an exhaustive fair use analysis, as long as there is some. The court wrote it was "mindful of pressing crush of voluminous infringing content that copyright holders face in a digital age" and that the analysis "need not be searching or intensive."
Application Today
There is little doubt that the DMCA is subject to abuse. For example, disgruntled politicians use it to remove content that is otherwise clearly a fair use. Ahsley Madison used it to remove the posting of its data online. With this new case, people may think twice before quickly sending the takedown notice.

Will Nations Of The World Save Tropical Forests For Their Carbon?
Tropical deforestation (within the areas pictured in green on the map) is presently a significant cause of carbon dioxide loss to the atmosphere. Annually, an area of native tropical forests "at least equal to the size of New York state" are destroyed by a combination of expanding agriculture, illegal logging, and/or oil palm plantation development. The biomass-associated carbon dioxide emissions rate associated with annual tropical forest acreage loss is roughly 20 percent of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, on a par with total the U.S'. total.The hoped-for compromise -- providing financial rewards to poor nations that slow or halt the destruction of their forests -- appears to have moved forward; but, there will remain divisions over who bears responsibility for slowing climate change and over the "best use" of natural forest lands. As long as there is more money to be made clear-cutting tropical forests than for conserving them, demands for compensation are always going to be on the table by present land holders.
This will not be easy. It's easy to spin the deal as "climate blackmail," or as developed nations holding the economies of underdeveloped nations hostage. Free market utopians and free trade advocates will be categorically opposed. Illicit supply chains that meet the furniture demands of developed nations will be disrupted.
But it is a necessary effort. And the benefits include not just climate protection, but biodiversity preservation.

Two armed security guards stood at the ticket-check tent outside the synagogue before the Yom Kippur evening service. Inside, things were more jovial: a man assigned to keep things reverently hushed had fashioned a title for himself: "Shusher." He warned me that "we're all fasting," so there would be no food for me to judge. He also told me that "Most Jews who belong to a synagogue are less observant than the synagogue itself," having joined, more often than not, to please family. Or at least, that's how it used to be: "The Baby Boomers are the last generation where ... [more]

2.5 m x 2.0 m wall
PILOT Makers
3.0 hours
My first wall mural was completed December last year. Of course, I needed someone to let me draw on their wall first before I could start accepting illustration projects of this scale… so, my brother asked me to make my contribution to his galaxy-in-the-making bedroom.
Around three hours later, I finished the mural. His personal favorite quotes, lyrics and words make up the shadow detail – and I love how photos of the artwork do not capture those elements; only he can see them.
Hoping this becomes the first of many, many murals for Details Ink in the year 2016!

In order to provide tailor-made services and establish a real partnership relationship, we always keep closely in contact with our clients; our ability to share in the values and vision of an organisation allows us to direct our actions with the greatest accuracy and effectiveness.
We operate under a typical head-hunting approach, with potential candidates who are not necessarily seeking a job, as they may be already employed with other companies. It is our job to arouse their interest and motivate them to undergo the selection process. When requested, the process can include the administration of psycho- aptitude and personality tests. We regard the use of tests as a high value-added tool, as we believe that it allows to overcome a typical vertical bias of management, according to which success can only be ensured within a person's sector of experience. By means of psychological and personality assessments, we give companies the possibility to sometimes import expertise and know-how developed in different sectors, often with better results.
The outcome of the selection will be delivered to the client in the form of a report. A short list of 3-4 candidates will be presented within 4-5 weeks from the date of engagement.
We do not work on a pay-per-success basis, but undertake a professional commitment to assist our clients until all their set objectives have been successfully achieved. For this purpose, we provide a warranty clause whereby we undertake to repeat the recruiting process at no additional cost in the event that a candidate withdraws or is not confirmed at the end of the trial period.
We operate and accept to be engaged only on an exclusive basis.
We abide by non-competition agreements, and make it our obligation not to contact the employees of client companies for a period not less than two years from the latest engagement contract.
We respect the greatest confidentiality. Information concerning our clients or candidates will never be disclosed except by their specific and express authorisation.

WiiHD doesn't bring you all the news, just the best Core Gaming news for Wii and DS.
WiiHD is a huge fan of online gaming, but not just any online gaming. Core gaming in genres like racing, fighting, and shooters. So now we want to do our part to help the core Clan community on Wii make themselves known and increase their membership. We will begin listing notable clans that actively engage in clan wars in games like Medal of Honor: Heroes 2. We will however keep the gates, so not just any clan listing will be accepted. A clan needs to demonstrate viability to be listed
WiiHD is now unveiling a gallery of user created videos from Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 (MoHH2), currently the best FPS on Wii, and the only one with online multiplayer. We'll be doing this for a number of similar games as they come out. If you want your video included, just hit the link above and use the submission form.
Hardcore gamers frequently belittle the Wii for its low-power CPU, small storage space and gimicky casual games. Nintendo didn't keep their promise to focus on both hardcore AND casual games, but they did design a control system that is truly next-gen. Rumors of similar controls for PS3 and the 360 tell that tale. Sure, you can accurately control a 3D game with dual analog. You can also communicate in binary, but why would you want to? The Wii Remote rivals the PC keyboard and mouse as a control mechanism for 3D worlds, and it leaves dual-analog as a relic of the past. It can change the way games are played. Hardcore gaming isn't just about distracting ADD patients with shiny gfx, it's about delivering a whole new way of playing.
The Wii's FPS controls have finally been perfected with the release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. In November of 2007, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 brought the first taste of online FPS to the system, and the most customizable controls we've seen so far. Nintendo's focus may be elsewhere, but if you buy, the games will come. The most exciting game on the menu now is The Conduit, a new original IP from High Voltage that promises the whole package for the first time. The Wii has overtaken the xbox 360's 1 year lead and has the largest install base of any console. Talk of most of them being casual gamers is a misnomer—the new casual gamers mostly live in the same household as a hardcore gamers. If developers will finally stop phoning in Wii development and give us complete games, they'll see incredible returns.
This site will follow, document, review, compare and contrast the Wii's hardcore games with your help. There's good news on the horizon. Be a part of it at WiiHD. And leave your casual games at the door.

At first blush, WiiHD likes The Force Unleashed's duel mode better. It could simply be that these were convention goers playing the Clone Wars demo rather than programmers who knew all the ins and outs of the game, but Force Unleashed looked to be more dynamic. We'll of course keep an open mind as more footage comes out.
Watch the new video below, then go sample The Force Unleashed's duel mode and tell us what you think.

When last Kotaku got their hands on MadWorld, they felt it might be a little repetitive (though probably not as repetitive as the, uh "MAD" post titles that are all the rage /abject shame). It's hard to know from a distance, but the new MADWORLD trailer looks as though there are plenty of ways to kill and mutilate your fellow game show players. Watch it after the break.
In other MADWORLD news, Nintendo Wii Fanboy tells us that MADWORLD, amongst others, won't be released in Germany due to a restrictive ratings system.
Finally, to round out the MAD news cycle, Nintendo Wii Fanboy brings us counter-coverage of MADWORLD's violence from freelancer Thom Binsdale. He looks at backlash from the British Press, founded on the idea that Wii was supposed to be THE family-friendly console, and wonders if the casual crowd will be as accommodating of the core crowd as we have been of them. Core Wii players (this is WiiHD speaking, not Thom), have never been happy about not getting core games, but they haven't really begrudged the casuals from having their fun. The main complaint is that while Nintendo has been catering to casuals, they've largely ignored the core. If that changes, as it seems to be, core gamers are going to perfectly happy no matter how successful Wii Fit is. Thom thinks that, judging from the British Press' reaction, casual gamers may not be quite so accomodating. They may not want to share their gaming platform with… you know… games.
Shocker. Now watch the trailer after the break.

Back in May, the news came out that an abandoned original Xbox title, The Kore Gang, was getting a new lease on life on a new console: Wii. An announcement doesn't make it true, but now we've seen a little piece of it with our own eyes. The newly monikered KORE (a name change WiiHD approves of), showed off its first footage on Friday.
Revamped and redesigned, KORE is a platformer that has three heroes protecting the center of the earth from the baddies with a little cybernetic assistance. Now we know, platformers aren't the cool genre anymore, but they're still chock full of potential fun. Even so, platformers aren't the easiest game for a developer to really nail. Nintendo has always been good at it, but by and large, it's a rough genre to really innovate in and provide fun that feels fresh.
That said, we wish the game the best of luck. Take a gander at the new footage after the break.

It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a meteor with strange properties about to land in the middle of a jungle and give rise to sentient mushrooms and cacti and aggressive and violent insects in the area of its impact! *pause for breath*
So begins the saga of Mushroom Men, who, after their rise to sentience, quickly divide into 4 different nations and, as nations are wont to do, they go to war. There are 4 Mushroom Nations. You are one of the Bolete, one of two non-poisonous Mushroom Nations. The two poisonous nations are looking to wipe out all other Mushroom Tribes so they can be the only Mushroom Men.
Your part in this game will be to guide Pax, one such sentient mushroom, along the way to solve the mystery of the origins of the Mushroom Men, while hopefully stopping a war, bringing glory to your nation (the Bolete) and saving the entire world of Mushroom Men from self-destruction. Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is a 3rd person action adventure title for Wii due out this November.
The game has a very appealing look and sound, so be sure to check out game screens and video after the break.

We tried, but there just didn't seem to be a clever title hiding in this tidbit. We've got the Quantum of Solace Teaser Trailer fresh from Gametrailers, and some info and screens on the DS version of the game.
The Trailer appears to be a mix of Movie Trailer footage and PS360 footage. It's been a while since we've seen the movie trailer, so we don't know if they grabbed game footage that matches the action portions of the movie trailer or not, but it wouldn't be surprising if they did.
The DS version of the game offers the ability to play using only the stylus. It's unclear whether that's an optional control scheme, or the only one. Well executed, it could be sweet. But things aren't always well-executed, so WiiHD always prefers to have options. You can choose stealth over direct combat, as you'd expect from a Bond game, but here you have upgrades specifically for different styles of play. Although it isn't clear how, playing cards are a part of the enhancement process.
As you'll recall, we told you Treyarch wouldn't be including any card playing in their versions of the game, but the DS version is being developed by Vicarious Visions. We'll try to keep an eye out for more differences as time goes by.
Hit the break for the new Teaser Trailer and 5 DS Screenshots. And check out that 2nd DS screen too. It's from the first Daniel Craig Bond, and is one of the grittiest scenes of Casino Royale. The bathroom also strikes us as a great place to start a Bond game. (Crap, there's material for a clever title)

The new Gallery of the day is for Moto Racer, a motor bike racer with a variety of modes, tracks and a publisher who isn't afraid to use exclamation points, hyperbole, and unnecessary acronyms.
On their list of accomplishments are 1) A special Stylus control system, "Stylus Precision Handling" (unnecessarily acronymed: SPH) that promises precision for "amazing tricks" and handling, 2) 4 player local multiplayer on a single cart, and up to 8 players online 3) 3 difficulty settings, 4) 5 camera angles, 5) 8 enviornments, 6) 32 different bikes with different stats and 7) 44 "crazy" tracks. The modes are below the break with the full press release, but the one that catches our eye is pizza delivery. It's hard to explain just why that is.
We've got video after the break, and 24 DS screenshots so you can see for yourself. One bad omen for the game is they feel they need to fast forward the gameplay and jazz it up with a funky beat.

Cosette Quotes in Les Miserables
Only, as he was five and fifty, and Cosette eight years of age, all that might have been love in the whole course of his life flowed together into a sort of ineffable light. It was the second white apparition which he had encountered. The Bishop had caused the dawn of virtue to rise on his horizon; Cosette caused the dawn of love to rise.

When Cosette went out with him, she leaned on his arm, proud and happy, in the plenitude of her heart. Jean Valjean felt his heart melt within him with delight, at all these sparks of a tenderness so exclusive, so wholly satisfied with himself alone. The poor man trembled, inundated with angelic joy; he declared to himself ecstatically that this would last all their lives; he told himself that he really had not suffered sufficiently to merit so radiant a bliss, and he thanked God, in the depths of his soul, for having permitted him to be loved thus, he, a wretch, by that innocent being.
"Father, are they still men?"

Renal and Bone Safety of Tenofovir Alafenamide vs Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate
Paul E. Sax7, Michael S. Saag2, Michael T. Yin3, Frank A. Post4, Shinichi Oka8, Ellen Koenig5, Benoit Trottier9, Jaime Andrade-Villanueva6, Huyen Cao1, Marshall W. Fordyce1
1 Clinical Research, Gilead Sciences Inc, Foster City, CA, United States. 2 University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, United States. 3 College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY, United States. 4 King's College Hospital, London, United Kingdom. 5 Dominican Institute for Virologic Studies, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. 6 Unidad de VIH del Hospital Civil de Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Mexico. 7 Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, United States. 8 National Center for Global Health and Medicine, Japan, Tokyo, Japan. 9 Clinique Medicale l'Actuel, Montreal, QC, Canada.
Background: Off-target renal and bone side effects may occur with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) use. Compared with TDF, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) results in significantly reduced plasma tenofovir (TFV) and may have less renal and bone toxicity.
Methods: Treatment naïve HIV-1+ adults were randomized 1:1 to a single tablet regimen of E/C/F/TAF or E/C/F/TDF once daily in two double blind studies. Assessments included measures of renal function and bone mineral density (BMD). Four pre-specified secondary safety endpoints were tested: serum creatinine, treatment-emergent proteinuria, spine and hip BMD. Week 48 off-target side effects data are described.
Results: Combined, the two studies randomized and treated 1,733 subjects. Plasma TFV was >90% lower (mean [%CV] AUCtau 297 (20) vs. 3,410 (25) nghr/mL) in the E/C/F/TAF arm, compared to the E/C/F/TDF arm. Serum creatinine (mean [SD] change: +0.08 [0.124] vs +0.11 [0.217] mg/dL, p<0.001), quantified proteinuria (UPCR, median [Q1, Q3] % change; -3 [-35, +43] vs +20 [-23, +76], p<0.001), albuminuria (UACR, median [Q1, Q3] % change; -5 [-33, +36] vs +7 [-27, +62], p=0.001), retinol binding protein (RBP:Cr, median [Q1, Q3] % change; +9 [-23, +49] vs +51 [+3, +133]), beta-2-microglobulin (β-2-Mg:Cr, median [Q1, Q3] % change; -32 [-57, +4] vs +24 [-34, +168]), and fractional excretion of phosphate (median [Q1, Q3] % change; +0.9 [-2.0, +4.5] vs +1.7 [-1.6, +5.3]), all favored E/C/F/TAF. There were no cases of proximal tubulopathy in either arm. Mean (SD) % decrease in BMD was significantly less in the E/C/F/TAF arm for both lumbar spine (-1.30 [3.08] vs -2.86 [3.25], p<0.001) and total hip (-0.66 [3.26] vs -2.95 [3.41], p<0.001). Increases from baseline in bone turnover biomarkers (C-telopeptide and P1NP) and parathyroid hormone were significantly smaller in the E/C/F/TAF group compared with the E/C/F/TDF arm (p < 0.001 for all). Increases in fasting lipid parameters (total cholesterol, HDL, direct LDL, and triglycerides) were greater in the E/C/F/TAF arm (p < 0.001 for all).
Conclusions: Through 48 weeks, subjects receiving E/C/F/TAF had significantly better outcomes related to renal and bone health than those treated with E/C/F/TDF; lipid outcomes favored E/C/F/TDF. Collectively these data demonstrate important safety benefits of TAF relative to TDF, especially given the aging of the HIV population and the need for long-term treatment.

The Two Worlds of Charlie F at the Theatre Royal Haymarket
Two Special Performances from Injured Troops Staged by the Bravo 22 Company
It has been revealed that the Theatre Royal Haymarket will be the home of two special performances in January, which will both be staged by sick personnel from the armed forced. The two performances will be of "The Two Worlds of Charlie F", which has been put together by the Bravo 22 Company, and they will be staged in January 2012. The play has been written by Owen Sheers, who has penned previous productions in the capital, and features actors from Bravo 22.
Among the actors headed to the stage are Daniel Shaw, a Rifleman who served in Afghanistan and lost both of his legs, Major Stewart Hill and Lance Corporal Cassidy Little. Stephen Rayne directs, with the project combining the efforts of the Royal British Legion, Masterclass, the Royal Navy Recovery Pathway and the Army Recovery Capability.
The company has teamed up with Sir Trevor Nunn, the current Artistic Director of the Theatre Royal Haymarket and who presented Ralph Fiennes in "The Tempest" late in 2011, to bring "The Two World of Charlie F" to the stage.
According to the Daily Mail the aim of the project is to provide injured troops with confidence as they recover from their injuries, whilst also presenting the possibility of a theatrical career once they have left the armed forces.
Meanwhile, as previously mentioned last month, the Theatre Royal Haymarket is soon to be the new home of "One Man, Two Guvnors" as that production transfers from the Adelphi Theatre with a brand new cast. James Corden is set to take the current production to the other side of the Atlantic at the end of its run in February and then Owain Arthur will take over the role of Frances Henshell as it continue to attract audiences in the West End.
"One Man, Two Guvnors" is set to enjoy a run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from Friday 2nd March 2012 to Saturday 15th September 2012. Before that, however, there will be two performances of "The Two Worlds of Charlie F" – a matinee and evening show, on Sunday 22nd January.

Production and Technologies
We use 2000 m2 of contemporary and high-quality production space. Furthermore, we have a 1000 m2 cold storage. Approximately 25 production workers are employed in Eccua, some of whom have been working with us already for more than 20 years, while length of service of most employees exceeds 10 years. We offer excellent working conditions to our employees, from superb working environment and non-work rooms to salary.
As our operation is closely related to environmental technologies, our objective is also to minimise our own ecological footprint. Therefore we do not emit pollution from our production and recycle all heat energy generated during the production processes.
Glass plastic department of Eccua is one of the most contemporary facilities in our area of operation. Our winding machine enables to add tank ends to the cylinders immediately during the winding process, in order to prevent errors accompanying manual work. Furthermore, our winding system is fully automatic and does not require the intervention of an operator to ensure completion of a technologically correct product. The rooms are thermally insulated, heated and ventilated so that temperature fluctuation does not exceed ±1 0C, in order to ensure curing of resins with maximum result. Interaction of all these factors ensures an excellent working environment, where people can work comfortably and provide maximum contribution to the completion of high-quality production.
We use the following production technologies:
- Glass plastic winding;
- Glass plastic spraying;
- Rotation casting technology;
- Extrusion welding of PE plastic;
- Butt welding of PE plastic on pipes and plates;
- Metal operations – welding (TIG, MIG), turning, milling, drilling, sanding.

Carpet Bed Liners Customer Reviews
Reviewed by Timothy K (Cherry Hill, NJ) Reviewed for a 2004 Ford F-150 — 2010-12-17 04:40:05
I was all set to install my bedliner until I read the directions. The truck bed must be above 65 degrees F for the adhesive to properly adhere to the bed of the truck. Since it is only 25 degrees in New Jersey right now (December 17, 2010), I will have to wait until May 2011 to install the bed rug. However, the bed rug looks really nice in the box, so I gave it a high rating.
