It's another wonderful Wednesday & I'm so excited to show my latest mini process.
Already you can tell that a bird is emerging.
I'm working with shades of black.
And here's the crow which is the focal point of the piece.
Here I've chosen a batik for the sky & a mottled tone on tone for the ground. I love all the muted colors and shapes in the pale lavender batik.
Next I've added a horizon line with a trees to add interest.
Now for the fun part. Placement & more details. I find the whole process very therapeutic. If I didn't have to eat I think I'd make minis 24/7.
I've added a rock formation, some sparse grass & a couple of bare branches.
Finally, the shadow beneath the crow. I've name this one "Solitary Crow."

The word laicus (layman), once used to define those unable to use Latin, regardless of their social status. In the later Middle Ages the term also carried the meaning of "intellectual not connected to the church."
During the fourteenth century many intellectuals decided to join the church, mainly for economic and social reasons, yet they maintained a strong interest in secular culture (e.g. Boccaccio). Thus, the two cultures should not be conceived of as mutually exclusive. Indeed, secular urban culture tried to integrate its own values with religious beliefs and noble ideals. Several characters and situations found in the Decameron can be correctly understood only keeping in mind such a diversified reality.
In the Middle Ages intellectuals earned their wages working as teachers. Writing works of literature was not considered a profession in itself. In fact, most "intellectual" functions were fulfilled by the clergy. In Sicily, where Italian poetry first flourished (in the scuola siciliana), men of letters worked for King Frederick II and played an influential role in his court. Eventually, as more laymen replaced the clergy in carrying out the tasks once considered appropriate only for men of the cloth, they also became politically involved in the life of the town. They wrote in the vernacular and their audience became the entire society at large. When the political system changed from comuni (city-states) to signorie (seigniories), intellectuals continued to play a part in local politics, although now writing only for the presiding courts of the various signorie. They wrote in Latin and were often clergymen (e.g. Petrarch under the Visconti of Milan).
Petrarch and Boccaccio represent the first "men of letters" in the current sense of the word. Through them, for the first time, literature was considered a dignified profession in itself. Literature was the means through which they sought to fulfill their own personal ambitions.

I have partially renovated a low set house, painted it white inside and out and am not sure how to paint the driveway or what colour would suit it (currently an ugly faded light terracotta). I need a colour that will be darker than white to hide dirt and marks, but not dark enough to look like dismal. The driveway is about 40m long and the entrance pillars are white. There are also steel posts around the veranda that would need to be painted, the fascia boards and under the veranda.
Of all the different types of decorative driveway finishes, such as acid stains, etching, overlays and stamped concrete, coloured concrete is one of the most hardwearing and requires very little maintenance. It should need resealing every two years at most. You should, however, remove stains as soon as possible. Use a pressure-wash to clean the driveway periodically to remove dirt or grime.
Here are some ideas to add interest to your concrete driveway.
(Image credit: Concrete colour systems,
Colours: CCS Black 21 and CCS Lemon crème)
A mix of colours: light concrete separated by bands of darker concrete as an alternative to traditional joint lines or a grooved finish.
(Image credit: Concrete colour systems,
Colours: CCS Pewter and CCS Paperbark)
Top Layers
Cement driveways can have pebbles added to the top layer of cement. This leaves the pebbles exposed. Usually the pebbles are coloured to give a dimensional effect. Another approach is to saw-cut patterns into the top layer of cement.
Stamped concrete driveways
Less expensive than traditional pavers and natural stone, stamping can give concrete the look of cobblestones, canyon stone, brick, tile, slate or flagstones.
If the cost of doing the whole driveway is out of reach, borders are a less expensive alternative. Just adding a 6" border will make your driveway look more elegant. You can also add depth by using a contrasting colour in the border.
If it's too expensive to redo your entire driveway in decorative concrete, then just add a stamped concrete apron for the first several feet of the driveway. With an apron, the entrance to your home will be more inviting, and you won't risk having it look overdone.
Another way to spruce up your driveway is with plants. Well-designed landscaping can highlight or minimize a driveway, depending on the effect you desire.
Tools & Tips:
The Concrete Visualiser is a helpful online tool that helps you select a pattern and colour for your driveway.
Styling advice for exterior colours:
I always advise clients to have the gutters the same colour as the fascia and the house because gutters aren't the nicest of things to see. Picking them out in a different colour draws attention to them whereas using the same colour helps them to blend in.
Most of the time I recommend using a single colour for the exterior but sometimes certain colours can look good together. Of course, it costs more to use two separate colours but sometimes it's worth the expense.

(originally published in The Outreach Connection in May 2002)
I've often planned to count up the number of positive reviews I've written over the years (six years now, believe it or not) versus the number of negative ones. It's not a high priority, which is why it never gets done. It'd probably only be depressing anyway – too many pans and caveats. I truly wish I only wrote good reviews, if only because presumably it would mean I was only seeing good movies. In recent years, I've become better at avoiding the true stinkers, but I don't get bowled over as often as I wish. Maybe it's just me – maybe I need a diet, more vitamins or something.
Fight Club
The bad reviews I wish I hadn't written because it would mean I hadn't wasted time seeing the movie – that's one thing. But if any of this kept me up at night (and it doesn't, but if it did) it would be the thought of the bad reviews I wish I hadn't written because I now think I got it wrong. A few months ago I changed my mind big time on Pulp Fiction, and I felt honor-bound to write about that (it consumed half my article on The Shipping News – my mind wanders sometimes). At the same time, I started thinking again about my review of Fight Club – a movie I was quite nasty about. It felt somehow logical that a liking for Pulp Fiction would be largely correlated with a liking for Fight Club, meaning I might have another major recanting job to do.
So I got round to rewatching it a couple of months ago, and was relieved that I didn't really feel obliged to do any recanting at all. At best, I'd soften my review a bit. I think my original vitriol was as much directed at the excesses of local critics than at the film itself. Fight Club is skillful, but its constant criticism of our dubious values and deficient self-actualization quickly becomes repetitive and murky, and (unlike Pulp Fiction) the film gradually becomes almost entirely consumed by plot mechanics. I didn't dislike the final twist as much the second time though – I was better able to step back and take it metaphorically (although the ending still doesn't seem to me to mesh very well with the more immediate social satire at the start of the film). And the visual style and imagination are admirable – it's quite a compendium of ideas and images and moods. But it still doesn't do a lot for me.
Panic Room
Fight Club director David Fincher has now followed it with Panic Room, a thriller with Jodie Foster. Panic Room is nowhere near as ambitious as Fight Club was. It's set almost entirely inside a single house – a huge New York brownstone where newly divorced Jodie Foster moves with her teenage daughter. The house contains a "panic room" – a virtually impenetrable stronghold in which the owners can hide in the event of a home invasion. On the first night in residence, Foster wakes up to find strangers in the house, and she and the kid bolt into the panic room. The problem is, the previous inhabitant left several million dollars hidden in there – which means the thieves are determined to get in.
This entails numerous twists and turns: the men try various ways of luring the women out; Foster and the girl try to contact the outside world; the daughter gets sick and Foster has to leave the room to retrieve her medicine. Foster's ex-husband calls by and promptly gets beaten by the invaders. It's all efficiently executed. In particular, Fincher magnificently exploits the contours of the house, constructing numerous seemingly unbroken camera movements that travel effortlessly through the interior space (although by now these look like a Fincher "staple" – Fight Club had several such effects).
There's a pattern emerging in Fincher's work. Se7en was a highly creative thriller that claimed to see only wretchedness in the world. He followed it with The Game, an almost equally creative film that wallowed happily in its rich protagonist's milieu. Then came Fight Club, seemingly a repudiation of the complacency of the film that preceded it. Now comes Panic Room, and Fincher's comfortable again with the trappings of great wealth. His social conscience seems like a suit of clothes, slipped on and off at will, and already seeming a little threadbare even when it's on. Although I will say that I saw Se7en lately again as well, and that film still seems almost as darkly insinuating and chilling as it did the first time.
By myself
Admittedly, some writers do see more to Panic Room than I do. Anthony Lane wrote in The New Yorker that the film is "not so much scary as endlessly worrying; the movie was designed, propitiously, to suck in all the insecurities that you can imagine, and a few that you can't." Which makes it sound like an extension of the Fight Club agenda. But the premise depends so completely on wealth and privilege that most viewers' identification with it (and the extent of its disturbing effect on them) will be strictly superficial.
I doubt I'm giving much away by saying that the protagonists of Panic Room survive the ordeal (with such films it's not a matter of whether, but merely of how). And in the end Foster and the kid lounge on a bench in Central Park, reading the ads for other attractive Manhattan properties (albeit smaller ones). I searched hard for some irony there, but it sure looks like a straightforward image of affluence and order restored, subject to only minor modification.
Finally, thinking again about those virtuoso Fincher camera movements, digital technology has really killed much of the magic of the mobile camera. Effects like Hitchcock's dizzying plunge into the clocktower in Vertigo, or Antonioni's glide through the window at the end of The Passenger – they're child's play now. But those shots had a physical immediacy (if only because you could feel the work that went into them) that no amount of computer-generated flourish can equal.
Another favourite example of mine is from The Band Wagon – the unbroken tracking shot of Fred Astaire as he glides along the railway platform singing "By Myself." There's a beautifully intuitive marriage of style and content there – it's as appropriately eloquent as you could possibly wish for. And within a film of deep and consistent richness. It'd be great to review new movies as passionately as you'd review Vertigo and The Passenger and The Band Wagon, but that's just not being earned.

Kendrick Meals Arrested For Assault at Lubbock Day Care, Assaulting Officers
A Lubbock man was arrested Monday evening after reportedly assaulting some daycare workers.
Lubbock police were called to a civil disturbance at "A New World Christian Learning Center" at 1912 19th Street around 6 p.m. Monday.
Kendrick Meals is believed to have assaulted some workers at the daycare prior to the arrival of officers and had reportedly broken out some glass on the front door.
Patrons at a gym across 19th Street tried to intervene prior to the arrival of police, but were unable to stop 19-year-old Kendrick Meals.
Meals reportedly attacked officers when they arrived, and physical force had to be used to get the subject under control.
Meals was arrested and taken to University Medical Center for evaluation.
He is charged with two counts of assault on a peace officer, domestic assault, assault, criminal mischief, resisting arrest, and an outstanding warrant.

Legal Aid Ontario
The Ministry of the Attorney General
The Government of Ontario
We have reviewed the account of details and determined that the account is proper as to both fees and disbursements, so we are recommending that you pay him as agreed.
Please note that we did meet with Mr. Hamalengwa to discuss management guidelines and budget requirements for the remainder of the case. (emphasis added)
The legal aid system must also be accountable to the government of Ontario and to the general public for its handling of public funds…. The governance structure must be able to reassure the public that the money is being wisely spent. The governors of legal aid must be able and willing to provide the kinds of reports and information that will permit the government and other interested parties to reach informed conclusions about the manner in which public resources have been expended upon legal aid.[6]
There may be rare cases where legal aid is denied to an accused person facing trial, but, where the trial judge is satisfied that, because of the seriousness and complexity of the case, the accused cannot receive a fair trial without counsel, in such a case it seems to follow that there is an entrenched right to funded counsel under the Charter.[14]
You had two previous sets of lawyers who you saw fit – saw fit to discharge. Legal Aid …did offer you legal aid, but you had to sign a payment agreement. You refused to sign that payment agreement, in the circumstances as I indicated months ago, in my view the reason you're not represented is because you choose to not be represented and I will not appoint counsel in those circumstances....
When I got called to the bar in 1987, the rate I was paid [for legal aid] was about $67 per hour. It is now $92.34. I have received on average an increase of about $1.30 per year per hour. That is frankly insulting. Apart from being insulting to most of us who work so hard and are so dedicated to this profession, it has become virtually impossible to stay afloat in the City of Toronto and its areas at that rate. Costs have increased substantially in the practice. Staff fees have gone up, business taxes have gone up, Law Society dues, and insurance fees. Living costs have increased…. Most criminal lawyers who have attained a certain level of experience stopped taking on legal aid retainers simply because they cannot. A lot of us who feel we cannot do it any more, nonetheless have still continued to take the odd case on Legal Aid to do the right thing when circumstances required it, but we must, by necessity, limit ourselves. For if we bankrupt our practices, the whole thing goes down for no reason ….
There is a crisis in Ontario with the Legal Aid Plan that our Attorney General is well aware of.
The facts of this particular case, the history of this proceeding and the expense incurred by the Ministry of the Attorney General in the appointment of an amicus curiae cumulatively suggest that the circumstances of this case and the unique personal characteristics of the accused are such that a fair trial can only be achieved by having him represented by experienced and skilled legal counsel. The evidence before the court is that experienced, competent legal counsel cannot in the particular circumstances of this case be obtained where legal compensation is paid in accordance with the Legal Aid Tariff ….
Without reasonable and sufficient funding of counsel, there is a real potential to render this proceeding unfair ….
Ms. Wasser will be compensated for her legal fees at the rate of $200 per hour, to be paid by the Attorney General. There will be a junior counsel fee in the amount of $140 per hour, to be paid by the Attorney General. Travel time of counsel will be remunerated at the rate of $40 per hour plus 40 cents per kilometre to be paid by the Ministry of the Attorney General. Defence counsel will in due course, following review and preparation of the case, present a budget for the judicial pre-trial, the pre-trial motions and the trial. If it is appropriate and necessary, a student-at-law may be engaged to research and conduct interviews at a rate of $50 per hour. All disputes relating to accounts will be brought back to me. All payments are to be made by the Ministry of the Attorney General.
You must understand that this is a completely unacceptable manner in which to proceed. To be clear, this is not because anyone questions your integrity, but, rather, because a duty is owed to the public to administer their funds in a responsible and accountable manner…. This objective becomes all the more important in a case such as this where it is entirely reasonable to expect that the billing process will go on for some significant period of time and involve a tremendous amount of public money.
The amount of payments has been determined and detailed, however, over the course of the various applications it became apparent that a process was necessary to satisfy accountability requirements. That is apparent even in the transcript of April 28, 2005 … The Big Case Management program becomes, in my opinion, a logical tool to address the process of payments of accounts.
The issue before this court is whether there should be an independent third-party review of accounts and setting budgets for the defence which meets the needs of accountability in relation to public funds and yet, at the same time, safeguards the solicitor/client relationship.
I hereby order and direct that Mr. Wills' counsel is to meet with Legal Aid Ontario in a manner consistent with the "Big Case Management program" to work out a budget of hours needed to complete this case.
I further order and direct that Mr. Wills' counsel will submit all bills of account and billing records to Legal Aid Ontario in order that these accounts may be vetted and approved by staff at Legal Aid Ontario.
This is not Legal Aid money. It's coming out of the Crown Law Office, and so the budgetary constraints and concerns that Legal Aid would otherwise have don't present in the same form as we have under a Fisher order .…
We are on notice regarding Mr. Justice Shaughnessy's order of June 6, 2006, and we are content to comply with it as much as is possible as a courtesy to the court, your client, and the Office of the Attorney General. In that regard, kindly complete the attached Trial Opinion Guideline at your earliest convenience and return it to the undersigned ....
Once this form is completed and returned to us, we will arrange a meeting at your earliest convenience to set a budget, in line with our usual process …. Our role will be to manage the budgetary process mandated by the order in accordance with our standard policies and procedures, except for the proscribed tariff rate for remuneration.
… perhaps we should meet to discuss a number of items on the case management guideline which you felt unable to address, including, but not limited to:
• Defences contemplated
• Estimate of hours of preparation before and during trial
• Estimate of trial length
• Motions contemplated by defence and anticipated from Crown
• Disclosure issues settled and disclosure issues unsettled
• Reasons for requesting co-counsel
• Detailed disbursement request
• Defences contemplated
• Estimate of hours of preparation before and during trial
• Estimate of trial length
• Motions contemplated by defence and anticipated from Crown
• Disclosure issues settled and disclosure issues unsettled
• Reasons for requesting co-counsel
• Detailed disbursement request
We recognize that this case is unusually difficult and that the court has requested an hourly preparation rate higher than the LAO tariff. We therefore wish to assist in every way to ensure that this process is expeditious and accommodating to you while bearing in mind our need to ensure its compliance with our usual process.
We have reviewed the account of details and determined that the account is proper as to both fees and disbursements, so we are recommending that you pay him as agreed.
Please also note that we did meet Mr. Hamalengwa to discuss case management guidelines and budget requirements for the remainder of the case.

• $59,147.63 from September 29, 2006
• $51,313.74 from October 31, 2006
• $52,056.96 from November 30, 2006
• $59,147.63 from September 29, 2006
• $51,313.74 from October 31, 2006
• $52,056.96 from November 30, 2006
February 28, 2007:
• $40,036.32 from February 1
• $71,100.04 from February 22
• $40,036.32 from February 1
• $71,100.04 from February 22
April 19, 2007: $62,564.41 from April 12, 2007
April 27, 2007: $11,564.06 (for work done by Mr. Willoughby in December and January)
May 9, 2007: $76,385.00
We have determined that the account is proper as to both fees and disbursements and we can recommend that you pay [Mr. Hamalengwa] at your earliest convenience.
We are way out of our financial league on this one, but his accounts do add up. In the real world we should get a 9% management fee or $44,123.
While the number of accounts involved in this process is not large, senior staff's time is necessarily used, diverting them from work on LAO files. The Rowbotham matters where LAO has attempted to case-manage the file are the most time-consuming. They involve correspondence to counsel as well as the provision of our opinion to the Crown, negotiation of a budget and ongoing consideration of disbursement authorization requests.
In cases where LAO has been asked to assist by case-managing a matter, we are in a frustrating situation if the lawyer does not agree to our involvement. Case management depends on a mutual agreement to negotiate…. In a non-legally-aided case, LAO has no negotiating power and is a third party to the relationship between the government and the lawyer.
It would be helpful to have the Crown's and LAO's role reduced to writing, including what materials counsel is told to provide, how the account gets here, what format LAO's response should take, understanding that lawyer is copied on our reply, what information the Crown needs from LAO, what to do if a negotiation is unsuccessful, what to do if a nominal budget is exceeded.
I don't have a problem with substituting your name for Mr. Hamalengwa's, but what I do want to put on the record is that these are public funds, and I'm not trying to pry into how you prepare and organize your defence, but by the same token these are public funds. When I hear discussion about the possibility of as many as 18 defence experts, I have to question whether there shouldn't be some sort of review mechanism as to the appropriateness of the disbursements and the fees .…
As a courtesy to the court, the Ministry of the Attorney General and Mr. Hamalengwa who was previous lead counsel, we were merely vetting the accounts of defence counsel by reviewing the math. We do not provide copies of detailed accounts to the Ministry and we do not retain the accounts of all previous counsel appearing on this matter. We request therefore that you provide us with your detailed accounts and a separate summary indicating just the total account for fees and disbursements but not including account details ....
As we do not case-manage this matter, we suggest that you obtain any documentation you seek directly from previous counsel.
[The director] indicated that the case had not been subjected to any of the Big Case Management procedures such as setting up a reasonable budget or scrutinizing the appropriateness of applications and/or disbursements. In essence, he informed me, for the first time, that he was re-doing counsel's math, and if it was correct, forwarding the accounts as "approved" for payment.
I was shocked by these comments … as it was immediately clear to me that he had not fulfilled the role that I had understood he was playing as a result of Mr. Justice Shaughnessy's June 6, 2006 order ....[26]
I was shocked, I was horrified, I said … "this is an awful lot of money." He said "I know, if this was a legal aid case you probably wouldn't have paid more than $300,000." Then, I felt nauseous, I really felt nauseous and I also felt angry. I said, "Well, why didn't you say something if it wasn't working? Why didn't you go back before the court, why didn't you call us or tell us ...
... he kept saying "it doesn't fit our Big Case Management model" and I kept saying "I don't understand that" ...
I get a call from Kerry Lee Thompson saying, "Why aren't you doing more of this?" Without telling her what I couldn't tell her, I basically said that, I asked her if she had any idea how much money the Ministry of the Attorney General had spent, because she writes the cheque, because it's their money, it's their judiciary obligation. Although we had … I suppose a combined … an adjunct obligation to do something, that wasn't totally clear, but certainly, I asked her if she had any idea how much money they'd spent to this point of the trial. She said no, and I asked her if she'd been adding up the math herself and she said no, and I said "here's the amount" and I asked her if she had actually told her boss what the amounts were, and she said no and I asked her who her boss was and she told me, she said that she had shared some of the information about the amounts with her colleague …
… in direct breach of Mr. Justice Shaughnessy's order and in direct conflict with the Ministry of the Attorney General's understanding of the role that you agreed to play in this matter over the last year. This is a matter of utmost and urgent concern and, unfortunately, requires that an application be immediately brought before Mr. Justice Shaughnessy.
Quite frankly, I would not want to be in your position, if I were counsel, of someone down the road suggesting that the funding that was received was inappropriately received. I'll just put it that way.
It is also necessary for me to make some comment about the funding order made by Justice Shaughnessy on April 28, 2005. Mr. Napal and Ms. Scott are the third set of counsel to be funded under this exceedingly generous order. I suspect that the legal fees and disbursement billed to date are well over $100,000.00. I have been told that Justice Shaughnessy will hear an application about the funding order next week ….
It is my opinion that the time has come for the Attorney General to look very carefully at the expenditure of public funds in this case. It appears to me …that there is a very real risk that Justice Shaughnessy's funding order is being abused.
I am shocked and dismayed in terms of the conduct of Legal Aid Ontario in not fulfilling the role directed by my order and which they assumed and confirmed in correspondence ….
What has happened in this case is, as I have indicated, shocking in terms of the role of expenses, the lack of case management, notwithstanding the undertaking to do so, and I am actually disheartened that there could be an abandonment of such an important function, and particularly an abandonment of the function of accountability in relation to public funds as occurred in this matter ….
In my opinion, it is shameful in the circumstances that my order and direction of June the 6th, 2006, was not followed. For reasons that escape me, Legal Aid Ontario shirked the responsibility that they undertook and was confirmed in correspondence on June 14 and August 25, 2006.[30] No explanation is proffered as to why Legal Aid Ontario resiled from their position, however, the consequences of their action are injurious to the public purse and public confidence in relation to the administration of justice.
1. Within 10 days of the date of this order, counsel to Richard Wills will provide Legal Aid Ontario, Big Case Management Director, a completed "Opinion Guideline" for Big Case Management hearings.
2. Upon receipt of the "Opinion Guideline", and within 14 days of this order, Legal Aid Ontario will set up a meeting between counsel to Mr. Wills and the Big Case Management Director, Area Director and/or other Legal Aid Official. Counsel will provide any and all information required by Legal Aid Ontario, beyond the "Opinion Guideline," for the purpose of arriving at a reasonable budget for this case. The budget will be negotiated by Legal Aid Ontario bearing in mind Big Case Management considerations.
3. In arriving at a reasonable budget, Legal Aid Ontario will take into consideration the rate of remuneration set out in my Fisher order dated April 28, 2005.
4. In arriving at a reasonable budget, among other appropriate considerations, Legal Aid Ontario will also take into account the number of preparation hours required on a per diem basis and the projected length of the trial.
5. In determining how many hours are to be budgeted for an articling student in this case, Legal Aid Ontario is to bear in mind my "Fisher" order dated April 28, 2005, that only permits funding of a student-at-law for "research and conducting interviews." Only an articling student is approved for funding under my "Fisher" order.
6. Counsel will be bound by a reasonable budget as agreed upon by Legal Aid Ontario and will provide accounts to Legal Aid Ontario in a format approved by Legal Aid Ontario.
7. Prior to any non-routine disbursements being incurred, counsel must apply in writing to Legal Aid Ontario for approval.
8. Prior to finalizing the budget for the case, Legal Aid Ontario will seek the input of a committee of three criminal lawyers … arranged by the Attorney General, who will provide their recommendations with respect to the appropriateness and reasonableness of the budget. Among other appropriate considerations, this recommendation will be made bearing in mind the nature of the case and the stage of litigation.
9. Should any disputes arise respecting budgeting and disbursements matters, Legal Aid Ontario will contact the committee of three criminal lawyers … to resolve the dispute. Counsel to Mr. Wills will be bound by the decision of the committee. In the event that at any point there is dispute among the committee members, the majority view will prevail. Legal Aid Ontario will then make its payment recommendations based on the committee's decision.
10. As if this were a case funded by Legal Aid Ontario, the committee …will be responsible for determining whether the funding of this case and the type of funding in this case, is appropriate, bearing in mind considerations such as the repeated dismissal of counsel. In the event that the committee comes to a conclusion that ongoing funding is not appropriate, the Attorney General, Crown Law Office – Criminal, will be notified and an application for directions will be brought before me.
11. Counsel to Mr. Wills will provide monthly bills of account to Legal Aid Ontario. Those accounts will be reviewed and vetted for compliance with the budget and approval of disbursements. Counsel to the Attorney General will be notified of the amount recommended for payment by Legal Aid Ontario. If Legal Aid Ontario does not approve a portion of an account, it will simply indicate the amount of money not approved for payment.
12. This order applies to Richard Wills' current counsel and all counsel who may be retained by Richard Wills in the future.
13. If for any reason, Legal Aid Ontario cannot fulfill any aspect of this order, Legal Aid Ontario will immediately notify the Attorney General, Crown Law Office – Criminal, who will seek directions from me.
• Cynthia Wasser, for a total of 305.7 hours plus 85.7 hours by a junior lawyer (Breese Davies) as well as disbursements: $77,375.00.
• Munyonzwe Hamalengwa, for an estimated total of 2,704 hours over 17 months, plus disbursements: $677,604.18
• Richard Stern, who assisted Mr. Hamalengwa: $5,130.40
• Samuel Willoughby, who assisted Mr. Hamalengwa: $11,564.06
• Raj Napal, for fees and disbursements: $317,892.18
• Suzie Scott, who assisted Mr. Napal: $15,497.60
The Legal Aid Services Act provides a comprehensive, legislative code for the assessment and payment of public funds in criminal and civil proceedings.
LAO now believes that since the Act does not provide LAO with the authority to give advice or administer cases that are not eligible for a certificate, that providing advice and financial administration of these cases is not in fact "legal," nor within the mandate of LAO.
LAO is a creature of its statute and a change in the legislation would be required for LAO to be within the mandate of the Act to advise or financially administer cases where the court has ordered that the defence be publicly funded by MAG.
The Ministry of the Attorney General (the "Ministry") and Legal Aid Ontario have a shared duty to promote the public interest through improving the effectiveness of the administration of justice, and ensuring public funds are spent appropriately and prudently. The following principles will help the Ministry and Legal Aid Ontario achieve that shared duty. They are, as always, subject to an order made by a court.
1. The Ministry is responsible for the Crown prosecution service and also responsible to the public for funds expended by the Ministry and by Legal Aid Ontario. The Crown prosecution service should act as prosecutor and should not be involved with issues related to the assessment of the accused's financial circumstances performed by Legal Aid Ontario or with payment of accounts by the Ministry. The prosecution service has an important role providing information to Legal Aid Ontario regarding the status and conduct of the proceeding. The Ministry must, however, be able to discharge its role regarding the expenditure of public funds, including necessary financial oversight.
2. The Legal Aid Services Act, 1998 mandates Legal Aid Ontario to provide legal aid services to low-income Ontarians through assessment and payment of public funds in criminal and civil proceedings.
3. In the rare circumstances of court-ordered public funding (including Rowbotham or Fisher orders), there should be a consistent approach to ensure that an accused whose liberty is at stake receives support consistent with Legal Aid Ontario's prescribed mandate to fund a "reasonable applicant of modest means."
4. Publicly funded defence counsel should be paid at the same rate regardless of the source of funding and shall be subject to the required oversight to ensure that public funds are spent appropriately and prudently.
5. The Ministry and Legal Aid Ontario will jointly appear before the court on public funding applications. The Ministry and Legal Aid Ontario recognize that there may be some situations where they may agree that joint appearance is not necessary.
6. Where the court determines that an order should be made, the Ministry and Legal Aid Ontario will, wherever possible, present a joint draft order that will include the following:
• The Ministry would fund the defence;
• Legal Aid Ontario would manage the case in accordance with legal aid billing and payment rules and processes;
• Payment would usually depend on Legal Aid Ontario's assessment of the account according to its rules. However, the Ministry may require that an independent third party with expertise in criminal proceedings review, monitor and assess invoices on an ongoing basis and/or at the conclusion of the proceedings;
• Where an account is not paid in full, counsel will have access to the review process available through Legal Aid Ontario.
• The Ministry would fund the defence;
• Legal Aid Ontario would manage the case in accordance with legal aid billing and payment rules and processes;
• Payment would usually depend on Legal Aid Ontario's assessment of the account according to its rules. However, the Ministry may require that an independent third party with expertise in criminal proceedings review, monitor and assess invoices on an ongoing basis and/or at the conclusion of the proceedings;
• Where an account is not paid in full, counsel will have access to the review process available through Legal Aid Ontario.
7. The Ministry and Legal Aid Ontario will appear jointly, whenever possible, to seek directions from the court on any necessary variations to, or compliance issues with, public funding orders made by the court.
8. The Ministry and Legal Aid Ontario will work together within their respective authority to recover any costs paid on behalf of an accused.
9. The Ministry and Legal Aid Ontario are committed to ongoing monitoring, review and improvement of this protocol and related policies and procedures.
10. The Ministry and Legal Aid Ontario will consult with the bar as part of their continuing work to strengthen accountability for, and oversight of, public funds.
We have reviewed the account of details and determined that the account is proper as to both fees and disbursements, so we are recommending that you pay him as agreed [emphasis added].
Please also note that we did meet Mr. Hamalengwa to discuss case management guidelines and budget requirements for the remainder of the case.
We cannot offer complete LAO Big Case Management on "Fisher order" cases for a number of reasons. Aside from the difference in pay rates [Big Case Management] provides that: case management decisions are made by area directors; disagreement over authorizations mandate a direct appeal to the president; cases expected to cost over $75K go to the [Exceptions Committee]; disbursements are authorized at LAO rates and are decided upon numerous factors peculiar to LAO cases. These are just some major differences….
Because these cases provide no mechanism for recourse if lawyers disagree or are unwilling to comply with our processes we remain ineffectual and frustrated.
(It is of some merit that counsel have managed to remain in a courtroom with this client for the better part of a year and it is unfortunate that Justice Fuerst did not rein in the client by reining in the lawyer. This would have probably led to an "amicus" trial but it would have been much shorter and not much less assailable on appeal). Are we in any better position to control this client through his counsel? Without financial or quality control on counsel and keeping in mind our statutory obligation to maintain solicitor client privilege, we are unable to provide a meaningful level of management other than to "make sure the math is correct," to quote Justice Shaughnessy.
A lot of time was spent on pretrial applications and mid-trial applications that in my view were frivolous, that no experienced defence lawyer would have brought or would have spent time on. And in that sense, I think that is a waste of public funds.
• That all court orders requiring that counsel be appointed for an accused at the expense of the province shall be administered through Legal Aid Ontario;
• That unless otherwise ordered, defence counsel providing services under an order requiring funding by the province shall be paid at Legal Aid Ontario tariff rates and administered consistent with Legal Aid Ontario policies and procedures;
• That counsel so appointed will be bound by Legal Aid Ontario determinations regarding their accounts, and will be entitled to utilize Legal Aid Ontario's existing internal appeals processes;
• That counsel under the court order cannot be changed without approval of the court; and
• That, unless otherwise ordered, rates of remuneration for amicus curiae will be at Legal Aid Ontario tariff rates and administered consistent with Legal Aid policies and procedures.
LAO agrees with the report's central conclusion that the Wills matter was poorly handled by LAO, that the accounts of defence counsel were not properly scrutinized by LAO prior to the Court's order of June 14, 2007 and that there was a serious lack of proper management oversight.
As you stated in your report, LAO's review of accounts on behalf of the Ministry had been rigorous and responsible prior to the Wills case. You also noted that LAO had applied itself diligently to the review of the Wills accounts following the Court's order of June 14, 2007. On behalf of LAO, I express LAO's deep regret that the same rigour and accountability were not applied in LAO's handling of the Wills case prior to the Court's order. Your report details the many unusual and challenging features of this case but they do not excuse the failure of administrative effectiveness that occurred in this instance.
• It is continuing to work with the Ministry to develop supporting procedures and guidelines to ensure efficient and effective administration of these cases, including an enhanced proactive monitoring function during proceedings;
• It has implemented changes in the administration of non-certificate cases at LAO by creating a new unit and hiring a manager to oversee these cases. The Manager reports directly to the Vice-President;
• It has increased senior management oversight of all cases costing more than $75,000 by requiring financial sign-off by senior management;
• It is conducting a review of all criminal "big case" policies and practices and reviewing what additional measures are required in order to achieve greater accountability for those cases. It will consult with the bar and Ministry of the Attorney General about appropriate levels of management oversight and analysis of the different categories of big cases;
• It will share the results of its board of directors' internal review of LAO's handling of the Wills case with my Office and the Ministry. Consistent with my recommendation, the board will also recommend to the Ministry that the accounts of defence counsel in the Wills case be assessed, if possible, through the normal court-administered taxing process.
LAO agrees with you that it is important not to disregard the past in building for the future. LAO has learned from its experience in the Wills case and LAO is committed to ensuring that its present and future management of the accounts of big criminal cases, including non-certificate cases, be rigorous and responsible in keeping with its statutory mandate to provide consistently high quality legal aid services in a cost-effective and efficient manner to low-income individuals throughout Ontario and in keeping with its agenda to provide value to the taxpayers of Ontario.
We fully intend to respond to the recommendations directed to the Ministry and the government and I'm pleased to outline some of the steps that have already been taken.
With respect to your recommendations to the Ministry and the government regarding:
• a possible independent assessment of the defence accounts in the Wills case (Rec 3)
• the potential to recover public funds (Rec 4)
• the codification of the protocol in legislation (Rec 6)
• legislation that would limit the ability of a person to divest themselves of assets in order to become eligible for state-funded legal assistance (Rec 7)
• a possible independent assessment of the defence accounts in the Wills case (Rec 3)
• the potential to recover public funds (Rec 4)
• the codification of the protocol in legislation (Rec 6)
• legislation that would limit the ability of a person to divest themselves of assets in order to become eligible for state-funded legal assistance (Rec 7)
I can advise you that these matters have all been under active consideration by the Ministry for some time. We are grateful to have your views and opinions in these important areas and as recommended, we will report back to you on our decisions (Recs 5 and 8) ….
We also acknowledge and appreciate other ideas and suggestions in your draft report that, although not forming part of your formal recommendations, will also be considered ….
In closing, I wish to assure you that the Ministry is confident that the processes now in place will provide the effective oversight the public expects with respect to the expenditure of public funds. More improvements and refinements will be made, and we will report back to you as we continue to move forward with LAO.

Heylo lovelies :)
This is just a quick post to show you all my lippie of the moment :)
Its a Limited Edition from the Hello Kitty collection from MAC called 'Strayin'. Its a hot pink frost with pink, green and silver shimmer.
Here it is:
Although it is quite the statement lipstick and I never thought I'd have the confidence to wear it, I spotted it the other day lurking in my lippie drawer and had a Katy Perry moment.
I like to think it suits me, worn with a neutral eye. :)

Do you have any statement lipsticks that you've rediscovered!?

An administrative building, and a large underground parking lot that can accommodate up to 300 cars will be officially inaugurated in 2016, according to Long Dimanche, a City Hall spokesperson.
Dimanche told the Post that the City Hall administrative building, which is 12 storeys high, is almost 90 per cent completed.
He added that, "this is a workers' building of the City Hall, adding to the existing building since the City Hall has many government officials working,[therefore] we need more buildings for work".
As of present, the City Hall has an estimated 340 officials, with the total number adding up to 800 officials with the inclusion of all district and commune officials, according to Dimanche.
However, he did not disclose the cost of building this structure and parking lot, only mentioning that the developments were financed by City Hall's funds.
This new administrative building of City Hall is located at the south of the old City Hall building, which was left empty since after the end of the French colonisation.
Construction of this building had commenced at the beginning of 2015, and is slated to be completed by 2016 if no further adjustments are made to the plan.
Seng Lot, spokesperson for the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, offered no comment when asked about this plan, directing it to the City Hall spokesperson to answer instead.

Is A CURE ON the WAY? – THE BAD MEDICINE OF GENERICS, CITIZEN PETITIONS, AND NOERR-PENNINGTON IMMUNITY
Lee, Stacey
MetadataShow full item record
Over the next five years, approximately 110 drugs, including blockbuster products such as Sanofi-Aventis' allergy medicine Flomax, GlaxoSmithKline's herpes medication Valtrex, and Pfizer's cholesterol medication Lipitor will lose their patent protection. In 2009 alone, brand-name drugs coming off patent were valued at more than 10.8 billion dollars. As market exclusivity for these drugs ends, the doors for generic production will open. Generic drugs generally enter the market priced 20 to 80 percent lower than their branded counterparts, and generics can capture 44 to 80 percent of brand-name drug sales within a year after release. This price competition from generic drugs threatens the profits of brand-name manufacturers and reduces their returns on innovative activity. As a result, some brand-name drug manufacturers have resorted to aggressive tactics to blunt the impact of competition.

Nick Price | Player Profiles | Nedbank Senior Challengeon October 6, 2011
Nick Price has 50 professional wins to his name, and will go down in history as one of golf's greatest champions. That Price was inducted into golf's Hall of Fame was no surprise, and on his current Champions Tour form, he will be fancied to add to his impressive list of accomplishments at Sun City on a golf course that he loves.
Still relatively unknown on the international stage, Price finished second to Tom Watson in the 1982 Open Championship – when Watson graciously said after the prize-giving ceremony that he had been "given" the claret jug by Price rather that winning the championship. The popular Zimbabwean had indeed held a two-stroke advantage with six holes to go, but despite this minor meltdown, the following year he led from start to finish in the World Series of Golf, beating none other than Jack Nicklaus. It seemed that the floodgates may open and that Price would win regularly, but it would be almost another eight years before price would win on the PGA Tour.
Price's career peaked in early to mid-nineties, and in 1994 he won consecutive majors, the Open and the PGA Championship, and occupied the top spot on the Official World Rankings for 43 weeks. Of course Price's record in the Nedbank Golf Challenge is quite astounding, as was his record-breaking performance in 1993, when he fired rounds of 67, 66, 66 and 65 to win by a dozen shots. His hat-trick of victories in the Nedbank Golf Challenge included a thrilling victory in a playoff against Tiger Woods in 1998.
The man who was awarded the Freedom of Sun City for his loyalty and contribution to the Nedbank Golf Challenge scaled down his schedule on the PGA Tour in the early 2000s, and for a time a time it seemed that he might choose to retire be lost to game. He might well have focused on his other passions – fishing and flying, but he entered a few Champions Tour events declaring that he was there to have some fun. His start among the over-50s began in 2007, and in 15 starts the best he could manage was a third place. The following year his competitive juices began flowing, and although winless, he recorded two second and third places, and earned more than a million Dollars. It was only a matter of time before Price, always a streaky putter, would collect another trophy to add to those from his 18 PGA Tour victories, and in 2009 he won the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am, and since then he has won three more times bringing his career total of professional victories to a half-century.
In March this year Price posted a 17-under par to win the Toshiba Classic and besides leading from start to finish, his opening round of 60 was the lowest round in Champions Tour history. He finished as runner-up in the Legends of Golf a month later, and his season to date has yielded 9 top-10 finishes out of 15 events and more than $1 million in earnings. It is no secret that Price has played an important role in promoting the Nedbank Senior Challenge, and while he ensured that the event will feature world-class names, he will like nothing better than to beat these players on what he considers to be "his" course.
Earlier this month at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Price was awarded the Ambassador of Golf Award.

Future of Indian Point nuclear power plant in Buchanan debated
Dozen turned out for a public meeting last night to speak up about the future of the Indian Point nuclear power plant in Buchanan.
There were some tense moments between local environmentalists and those "for" the plant during an open public meeting in Cortlandt Manor held by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Dozens rallied for more public records and meeting transcriptions. Those against the plant, cite earthquake preparation as a top concern. "It's truly arrogant to think that we can protect a highly corrosive toxic waste," says Dan Fullerton, of Buchanan.
An NRC spokesperson says Indian Point continues to meet all standards. "We believe it still would be able withstand a larger earthquake than we previously expected. But nonetheless, we still expect them to take a closer look at any vulnerabilities," says NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan.
Sheehan also says the group only transcribes meetings where decisions are made, not open houses. He adds that the NRC makes all information public, unless it's a safety concern.

HDMI distribution without limits
The award-winning HDMI over IP platform from Just Add Power is a scalable, ethernet based video distribution system designed for any size of project. Send 4K, UltraHD, Full HD 1080p and lower resolution content from any number of source devices to a virtually unlimited number of screens over a local area network with Just Add Power.
Sending 4K over IP and integrating HDMI 2.0 devices just got easier. The third generation of HDMI over IP transmitters and receivers from Just Add Power, called 3G, can send 4K and UHD video with HDCP 2.2, as well as 1080p and lower content, from any number of HDMI 2.0 and non HDMI 2.0 source devices to any number of displays over a standard gigabit network.
A built‐in 4K scaler on the 3G receivers allows for the distribution of HDMI 2.0 sources to non HDMI 2.0 screens and vice versa. 3G Ultra HD over IP products support HDCP 2.2, PoE, USB 2.0 over IP, video walls and Dolby downmixing from 5.1
Unlike with competing 4K over IP technologies, there's no need to upgrade to fibre optic cabling and more costly 10 Gigabit managed switches to facilitate the distribution of HDMI 2.0 source devices. As with our 2G/ 2G+/ 2G+AVPro products, you can use fibre optic cabling if you want.
Scalability makes HDMI over IP suited to almost any commercial or residential install, facilitating practically every 4K UHD, Full HD and lower content video matrixing application imaginable.
Use a Gigabit managed switch with either the second generation (2G) or 4K-capable third generation (3G) of HDMI over IP transmitters and receivers to create a HDMI video matrix up to a maximum of 4000 inputs x 65,000 outputs in size. Unlike a fixed format HDMI matrix, Just Add Power products allow for practically any combination of inputs and outputs.
Need to integrate new source devices or additional displays in the future? Easy. Simply add one HDMI over IP transmitter per source or one HDMI over IP receiver for each new display.

I received some fun products to play with and have 3 projects to share. Veterans day will soon be upon us and the Red, White, and Blue Colorbox Pigment Stamp Pad was perfect to color this card.
I cut the star shape using my Silhouette Cameo from white Bazzill cardstock and colored the star pieces with the ink pad. I added a sentiment, adhered everything together, and this quick and easy card was complete.

It's never too early to start creating for the holidays and for my next project I created these two ornaments using Winter Frost Glitter from Clearsnap.
I die cut two snowflake shapes, ran them through my Xyron 5" Creative Station, and added the glitter. The Xyron adhesive makes it quick and easy to apply the glitter and is a lot less messy than using a liquid glue. I finished the ornaments off with stamps from Papertrey Ink, a few beads, and a hook I made from wire.
