Had to get your leftist tilt in the review, didn't you? It's disgusting.
Just an FYI about the shopping strip on Lee Road. The owners are in the process of planning for a major renovation of the block with the commitment to making this an updated location for shopping and dining. They are committed to Cleveland Heights and appreciate support for the Lee road community.
You folks need to make a careful inspection of the returned boxes.
If, as the DCA claims, all 26 boxes "had been knocked over by wind or by sidewalk plows", then each and every box would be damaged as a result. Each box would would show signs of recent scrapes, dents, scratches, broken widow panes and paint damage (particularly the boxes that had been hit by the sidewalk plows).
If the boxes are returned to you in pristine condition, lacking any recent damage, I'd say that's prima facie evidence that the DCA is certainly lying about why they grabbed these boxes.
This might be evidence that would interest a prosecutor, no ? It's not like they can just return the boxes, and all is forgiven with the law. I doubt seriously a bank robber would get off scott free with the prosecutor if he simply agreed to return the money. How is this situation any different ?
Keep fighting the fight.
Who are your sources, you hacks?
Heather Holmes could be lying her way into a cushy PR job inside the mayor's office.
A scene playing itself out in cities across the country.....so-called community improvement organizations (read: gentrification catalysts) wanting everything to be shiny and harmonious so that the city can live up to their marketing pitches. Remove whatever's in the way (newspaper boxes, dissent, anything that isn't a cute coffee shop or new eatery, etc etc etc).
Wow...guess you guys struck a nerve! Keep up the good reporting!
We should be less concerned about what he thinks politically and more about Joe he hires sex offenders as managers at his restaurants
How long do you want to play this game, asshole? I eat jamokes like you for lunch.Every name you have used so far has been reported and will eventually be removed. You are a spammer and a troll. SCENE does not care for spammers and trolls who contaminate their site.
Are you One Of The Tribe? Obviously not, SHMUCK, as you would know it can be spelled either way...
I will be here long after you and all of your names are history and your IP is blocked, SHMUCK.
Again...how long do you want to play?

I miss Denise Dufala there was no reason to lay her off, this was a cheap shot bring on Romona and Dave from channel 3news who worked with Romona, shame on you.
Thank you Sam for your excellent reporting. I would love to know what Mayor Jackson wants implemented in the design of Public Square to address the apparent lack of safety. Nobody has made it clear what that may be. It is odd that Land Studio, Field Operations,The Group Plan Commission, and The Cleveland Planning Commission all missed the design flaws. The Cleveland Plain Dealer states today that The GCRTA and The City all seek another extension of the $12 million dollar repayment. The FTA should deny this and hold Mayor Jackson responsible. TPTB should have been able to resolve any issues starting from Aug 1 of 2016. All the studies Mayor Jackson has asked for were done and debunk his theories. Now he wants to move the finish line again.
This band is awesome! Make time to see them.
Cleveland or Chicago?
Burning river or gangs massacring each other in the streets with tommy guns, especially today? Hmmm...tough decision on which stereotype is more ridiculous...

The only way out of this fragility maze that plagues the NBA is a drastic cut in regular season games, coupled with more rest each week and a new playoff schedule. It starts with one table and a 58-game slate -- a home-and-home series for every team. The regular season is 20 weeks - including the All-Star game - with three games per week, per club, and no back-to-backs. The top five teams qualify for the playoffs, with the remaining teams battling for slots six, seven and eight in a trio of one-and-done ladders....which gives the auto qualifiers more rest and should find the stars on these teams competing hard in the complete regular season; due to the time off during the second chance scrum.....which rolls into best-of-sevens for the quarters, semis and championship.
@Ryszard The Housing First Program became the HVAP program and the men never lost anything in regards to housing. The reason why you don't see too many homeless men getting any housing through the county is because one of the requirements to have housing is that you cannot be convicted of certain crimes which include sexual, drug related, domestic violence related, or arson related crimes. I was told about 5 years ago by shelter staff that there was about close to 200 sexual offenders in 2100 alone and that right there is a major disqualifies in seeking help from this program. It's not because they were never offered the Housing First Program of HVAP-because of their own actions, they were never eligible in the first place. That's not to say women can't be found guilty of that either-there were three registered sex offenders in Norma Herr when I was there. Another disqualifies for the program is if you have other serious criminal offenses such as arson, domestic violence, drug possession/trafficking, prostitution, etc. These are the people who can't get Transitional Housing, Housing First, or Section 8. There are however other halfway houses that accommodate these types of individuals.
Now with the time limit, the reason why that was proposed is because unfortunately-and there aren't a whole lot of them-there were a few that were inside the shelters for 5 plus years. There were about 4-5 of them that were in there close to 15 years for NO REASON. One particular one used to leave out the shelter every morning before 6am when shelter staff shown up that were in charge of the rapid rehousing program and refused to return until 9 or 10pm at night to avoid the discussion of getting housing. They were thinking about proposing the time limit because of people like this particular woman. There is nothing mentally wrong with the woman or anything, she just refuses to leave. Then there is another where she is an able bodied woman with no mental issues that I am aware of that did the same thing too where she stayed gone all day to avoid housing staff by going out and feeding stray cats all day and half the night. Usually the wait time for section 8 is 2-3 years here in Cuyahoga County and they should cap the stay period to about 3 years. There is NO REASON why someone should be purposely staying in the shelter that long when there is nothing prohibiting them from going to the county to do so. They can take folks down to the county and apply-Front Line does have a van that comes by and picks folks up to take them there. To combat this issue, and FrontLine should have jumped on this sooner, but they should have made it mandatory that anyone staying in there upon entering MUST fill out an application with CMHA upon entering the shelter. They also should have made it mandatory to for everyone staying there to speak with a housing specialist too while in there to expedite the process, but they didn't.
With Transitional Housing, the way people at the women's shelter were picked to go over there was ridiculous. The transitional housing that I eventually went too took the HVAP voucher but I had to fill out a CMHA application to get that much and go through the interview. They also had a program there that took folks waiting for section 8 to respond but had no income, so they got funds from other sources to cover their rent while they waited. I was never offered this other program while I waited for my section 8 to come through. They were giving this program to a lot of the women inside the shelter who honestly didn't deserve it at all. The women who got them were the ones who destroyed their apartments, continued to prostitute, steal, do drugs/alcohol, fight, etc., while at Transitional Housing and were evicted within a 3-5 month time frame and wound up back at the shelter. During my time in Transitional Housing, they lost at least 20 residents within a short time period.These idiots thought they could continue their 21 Jump Street behaviors they were engaging at the shelter at Transitional Housing, but they soon found out that they couldn't when they got the eviction notice. The people like me who worked part time, went to school, or done a combination of both and weren't into the riffraff oftentimes were never even offered Transitional Housing at all. It took them 2 and a half years before they offered me it and this is after about 30 women were booted in 3-5 months or less from Transitional Housing.
Aren't the bus stops that are being used right next to where the ones that are being blocked off?
Who throws away money like this??? For no damn reason!
Jackson's either an idiot or senile. Time for someone else!

Review: A TALE FOR THE TIME BEING, by Ruth Ozeki
I picked up A Tale for the Time Being after it got a starred review in Kirkus; I tend to do well with starred Kirkus books, and I liked this one right from the opening lines. These lines come from a diary written by a teenage girl, Nao, who grew up in America but has moved back to Japan with her mother and father. Her father is unemployed and steeped in shame and depression; her mother is trying to support the family, and Nao is just trying to survive. When the book opens Nao's tone is cheeky and funny, but her story goes to some very dark places, and very quickly.
Coupled with Nao is a writer named Ruth, living on a Canadian island with her boyfriend Oliver. They share a quiet life, but grief and anxiety lie beneath the surface. Ruth's mother has recently died, and when she finds Nao's diary washed up on the beach, she becomes more and more concerned about the sixteen year-old's fate.
She has reason to be concerned. The Fukushima nuclear disaster occurred rather near to where Ruth thinks the diary came from, and Nao becomes more depressed and suicidal as the narrative of the diary wears on. There are some interesting things going on in this book. Ruth reads Nao's diary as if it will contain the end to Nao's story, but if Nao is alive or dead at the moment Ruth is reading, the answer won't lie within the diary's pages. Ruth has to negotiate her relationship with the text, to understand what she can and can't learn from it, the same way we always have to understand our position in relationship to what we're reading. In this way the book is really about the act of reading itself, about how to understand what we're reading and to understand that there are things we can never know.
Nao's driving motivation for writing the diary isn't so much to recount her own story but to tell the story of her great-grandmother, an elderly Buddhist nun whose son died as kamikaze pilot at the beginning of World War 2. This story is one she comes upon by accident, much the same way Ruth discovers Nao's. Like Ruth, Nao is left to make sense of the story by herself, with only the most slender of clues. In this way the book closes in on itself a little, like a nesting doll, stories within stories.
A Tale for the Time Being was short-listed for the 2013 Man Booker Prize and the fact that it lost to The Luminaries only makes me want to read that book because I need to know what made it better! Time Being is a quiet book that I didn't expect to receive recognition- it certainly wasn't hyped or promoted that I noticed- but I think it's a great book for the literary reader who has the time and stamina for a difficult, thoughtful and intricate book. It's not for every reader; it doesn't have much plot, and it's more about introspection than action. And it's long, too. But it's worth it, if you're up to it.
Rating: BUY
FTC Disclosure: I did not receive this book for review.

Does Product Market Competition Drive CVC Investment? Evidence from the U.S. IT Industry

We study the effect of product market competition on the propensity to use corporate venture capital (CVC) as a part of an information technology (IT) firm's innovation strategy. Using novel measures of product market competition based on product descriptions from firm 10-K statements and accounting for potential endogeneity, we investigate how product market competition during the period 1997-2007 relates to the magnitude of CVC spending. We first find that firms in competitive markets make higher R&D and CVC investments. In addition, we find that increasing product market competition leads to a shift away from internal R&D spending and into CVC. These movements are significantly stronger for technology leaders, i.e. firms with deep patent stock, in the IT industry. We also find that CVC appears to be an effective way of exploiting external knowledge for technology leaders in the IT-producing industry, but not for technology laggards. CVC investments provide significantly higher patent applications for technology leaders but no appreciable difference for laggards. Our results provide new insights for theories of innovation in competitive, dynamic markets, potentially as part of a portfolio that includes internal R&D as well as open innovation models.

Feb 14, 2012Not his best but definetly a lot better than the music that has been coming out in this industry. I wish he would be dropping versus like his opener on triumph, but this is definitively respect worthy
Still, despite a handful of throwaway cuts, Manifesto has more than enough heat to prove that Deck's mike skills still stand up up to any of his Wu brethren.
As Manifesto runs through its forbidding 20-track playlist, it unsurprisingly falters when it chases Hot 97 spins that are laughably out of reach.
The material found on "Manifesto" is, for the most part, superb, with only a handful of tracks that fail to live up to the quality found on the rest of the album.

Yesterday, the World Wide Fund for Nature pleaded with customers shopping in nurseries and garden centres to shun plants dug from the wild. 'Almost everyone has bought them unwittingly,' said Martin Jenkins, a botanist, who has written a report on the trade.
'Customers have to insist on buying garden and house plants which are cultivated. They have to prod the retailer who, in turn, has to prod the wholesaler.'
Plantlife, the conservation charity, estimates the trade in British wild bulbs is worth about pounds 1m a year. Paul Evans, its former conservation director, believes that some of the bulbs are exported in bulk to the Netherlands, centre of the international trade, then reimported to Britain for sale in garden centres and market stalls.
The diggers put advertisments in local newspapers and magazines inviting landowners to have their bluebells thinned out for a payment. Sometimes they take the wildflowers without permission which, apart from being common theft, is also an offence under the 1981 Wildlife and Countryside Act.
Earlier this year three men were found guilty of taking 5,000 bluebells from a privately owned wood near Melton Constable, in north Norfolk - the first time a bulb-digging offence had been taken to court. English Nature, the Government's conservation arm, was disappointed at the scale of the sentences; the highest fine was pounds 250 and one of the three was given a three-month suspended sentence.
Norfolk Crown Court was told that the men had a piece of equipment from a bulb wholesaling company, O A Taylor, of Holbeach, Lincolnshire.
Bluebells and snowdrops are not endangered as yet. 'Their ancient woodland and hedgerow habitats have been destroyed on a very large scale in the last 50 years,' Mr Evans said. 'It's a moral issue; we shouldn't dig them up from the wild if they can be cultivated. Once gone it takes decades for them to return.'

"You can if you can get it to go through the item you are using. Some things are hard for the drill sothat is why the electric one is better. I love making my own things to because you can make them as unique as you want them and no one else will have the same thing. I see so many wonderful things in thrift stores, yard sales or flea markets that I like but do know what to do with and now I do and you are right it is so cost effective and cute."
"This is another super way to plant your succulents with something fun and not just a plain boring pot. I love these cute concrete designs and the faces on them. I never realized that it was so easy to make one of these by using empty soda bottles and the concrete. these would look so cute indoors or out on the patio. How about painting them in glow in the dark paint in different colors for your deck. Wouldn't that look neat. Great tutorial and a video with another kind of planter using a water bottle."
"There at no limits to what you can recycle today and I am so happy to see new things pop up. The hamster wheel wreath is such a cool idea and a great way to plant succulents a different way then just sticking them in pots. I do not see these metal wheels that much any more most are plastic now but if I come across one I will pick it up and try this. I do not have luck with growing these succulents they always die so I am looking to find new ways to try. Anyone looking for something new here is a good one."
"I tried growing strawberries years ago for about 3 season and everyone had success but me so I gave up. I really want to try again and was looking for a good way to plant them and I came across this tutorial. I am going to give this a try because I love fresh strawberries. I love when someone who has tried it and made mistakes lets you know what happened and then tells what worked for them the next time so we do not make that mistake too. Now all I have to do is find my pots or find some and get to work. Can you do beans and cucumbers like that too? Anyone know?"
"I like to recycle and this is a great way to recycle paper towel or even toilet paper rolls instead of throwing them away. I wonder just like jobers77 asked if the brown paper will degrade ? How about the paper towel and toilet paper rolls? This is a great way to start those seeds and keep them warm while they are growing. Add some extras for your friends and family too. I think I am going to give this a try if I can find somewhere to put them. So simple and easy."

- One piece of material that is 4.5" x 11" (for lining)
- Scraps (or strips of fabric) that are at least 4.5" long
- Batting - one piece that is 4.5" x 11"
- Elastic - I used boxer elastic since it's a bit softer than the standard white elastic - just search on Ebay and you can find some.
Sew scraps/strips together until you have a piece that measures approx. 4.5" x 11".
Trim to 4.5" x 11".
To quilt your case, take your patchwork front and place it on top of your batting piece. (You can also choose to not quilt your front piece and leave it plain)
You can quilt it anyway you like - I just did 1/4" lines across the whole thing using my walking foot.
Now take your quilted piece and your lining and line them up right sides together.
If you want to add a closure to your case, get a piece of elastic (I used a ponytail holder) and pin it at the top of your case.
Pin along all edges, leaving a 2" opening in one side for turning.
Sew along all edges with a 1/4" seam allowance, remembering to leave 2" opening for turning.
Trim edges to reduce bulk and trim corners, being careful not to cut into your stitches.
Trim away batting at opening - makes it easier to sew the seam shut.
Turn right sides out and iron. Push opening edges inside and iron so seam is flush - pin opening closed.
Fold case so that lining is right sides together, making sure to line up sides and top edges.
For your elastic measurement you will need to measure your arm's circumference. Take this measurement and divide it in half and then add 2.5". * Example - your arm measures 15". Take 15 and divide by 2 = 7.5. Add 2.5" and your elastic measurement will be 10". You can either use two skinnier pieces of elastic or one wider piece.
Cut your elastic piece(s).
Take your elastic piece and place one edge inside your folded case along one of the sides.
Pin. Repeat on opposite side, looping elastic around the back of the case.
Pin extra elastic against back so it doesn't get caught as you sew up the sides.
Sew up both sides - I went over each side a couple times just to give it extra stability (I also stitched over the elastic section a few times more - just back and forth a couple times).
If you added an elastic closure, you can sew a button on to the front for your closure. You are done!

Now the tables have been turned, and the left is being accused of these crimes while the right rubs its hands. In the lazy post-holiday atmosphere of a Roman September, the main left-wing party, the PDS, and its allies are managing to slip up on every banana skin going.
Thus it is that Massimo D'Alema, the PDS's professorial leader, is under judicial investigation for arranging back-handers for the party via a network of co-operatives in northern Italy. Thus it is that Mr D'Alema and the editor of the PDS newspaper, Walter Veltroni, are involved in a "Golden Rents" scandal, under which they were offered privileged rates for properties belonging to state investment funds and insurance companies. And Francesco Rutelli, the left-wing Mayor of Rome, is under fire for naming a square after Giuseppe Bottai, Mussolini's education minister at the time of the notorious 1938 race laws which hounded Jewish children out of state schools.
To believe the excited headlines of Il Giornale, the right-wing Milan newspaper controlled by the former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, the whole Italian left could be about to crumble, and with it all prospects of winning power at the next elections. The headlines have worried the left, which has treated the allegations very seriously. But on closer inspection these scandals are as intangible as the autumn mists rolling across the Po valley.
It turns out that the party financing affair dates back to 1991, was small in scale and involved no personal enrichment. A magistrate's report mentions Mr D'Alema only once, in relation to a meeting he did not even attend.
As for the "Golden Rents", most of the "low" rents are little lower than the market value of the properties. Politicians needing a pied-a- terre in the capital are not the only ones to benefit - half Rome wangles a discount on rent in the same way. The real scandal is that so much property in prime locations belongs to state financial institutions. But as the left has not held power in Italy since the end of the Second World War, that is not the left's fault.
Mr D'Alema has taken no chances with the bad publicity, announcing that he will move out of his large but dingy flat at Trastevere, a little way from the Vatican. Mr Veltroni says he will ask his landlord to increase the rent to market levels. One wonders if such declarations of high principle will do any good. In Rome, anyone who volunteers to pay more than he or she has to is considered a fool.
Perhaps the stormiest debate has been over Mr Rutelli's proposed Largo Bottai, but even here one cannot help feeling let down by the paltry outrageousness of it all. Yes, Bottai was a minister under Mussolini, but he also protected enemies of the regime and paid for several prominent artists and intellectuals to go into exile. During the war he joined the resistance and was sentenced to death in absentia by the Fascist Salo Republic.
It's not as though anyone will have to live on his square. It is merely a stub of asphalt in the middle of the Villa Borghese park. And if you object to Bottai as an anti-Semite, what about all those anti-Semitic Popes who adorn Roman street signs? Or Emperor Titus, who has a huge triumphal arch to his name although he razed the Temple in Jerusalem?
For a while it seemed Mayor Rutelli would stick to his guns, but this week he backed down, saying the time was not right, though he hoped to honour Bottai in the future.
Thus, for the third time in as many weeks, the Italian left caved in to pressure from the right-wing press and humiliated itself over issues that should never have grown as big as they have.
As the commentator Michele Serra wrote recently, the left has a reputation of being intellectual, artistic, creative, friendly, socially responsible and sincere. But why does it have to ruin everything, by getting involved in politics?

Hi! So I decided to upgrade to the Blackberry Z10 under the assumption that WhatsApp and Skype would be available as they were mentioned in the Toronto launch. It's been a few weeks and they still are not available. When are they going to be active? I am regretting getting the blackberry instead of an iphone at this point. Very frustrated and feel doped into getting it.
Not to mention Blackbery Travel, banking apps for Canadian banks, and more. Similar sentiments! although it does seem likely they are coming. But no one seems to have a timeline.
Yeah it's super annoying, I love Blackberry and wanted to stick with it but at this point if they aren't going to deliver I'd like a refund. It's false advertising, they shouldn't have launched it if it wasn't ready to deliver. Not to mention trying to find a contact email or phone number to talk to someone live is impossible. For a company that needs to keep its customers you would think they would have a strong customer service strategy.
I am wondering why whatsapp is not available on BB10. But it did on previous model. It should be fixed before lauched out. I am very disappointed with that. Hope Blackberry can be able to fix it as soon as possible coz it's so inconvience for me.
the 2 things i really liked on my Bold were BBM Music and Travel.
Neither are available on Z10. - rip off. Not only that I am stll being charged monthly for Music and I have been trying unsuccessfully to cancel - the website does not work.
Maybe a call to Consumer Affairs is in order.
For years I have used an app called Tether to connect to the internet from my BB. I would love to buy a new Z10 but can't find an app that works with it. One developer told me they are waiting to see how many are sold before they invest in an app for OS 10. My problem is that I need a new phone. This one is close to being shot but I need to be able to Tether without paying the crazy rates carriers charge. The app takes care of that but it appears that the apps are Java based and OS 10 does not support Java. I don't have a problem with that but I need my internet access. I have been a loyal BB user for years going back to the original Pearl but may now have to get an iPhone or Droid product because the most important app that I need is not being developed for OS 10 BB.
DarylS, the Z10 includes Internet tethering capability, you don't need a separate app for it. Take a look at How To on BlackBerry: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/del
@radsystems: Thank you for your reply. I am well aware of the Z10's capability to be tethered. As I said in my previous post, (to which you replied) the whole point is that the method you suggest requires me to pay the carrier for the privilege of tethering, additional money over and above the huge sum that I now pay monthly anyway. Use of the app negates the need to pay for tethering plan to the carrier. Why does it seem that those who do not need to depend on tethering with a carrier in USA don't get it?

Hi everybody.Any idea when song pop free will be available on Z10

I suggest you contact the developer directly

won't buy again
By lovingpenandinks
from Asheville, NC
I bought the two pen set. one green glitter, the other, the blue glitter. I use only the smallest broad nib in the set because I use it for personal letter writing. It didn't take any time for the plastic pen to crack and loosen to the point that I couldn't use it. I wasn't worried, I had another but have noticed now that it too is cracked at the screw section. I usually use a dip pen and nib. I think I should have bitten the bullet and spent that money on a good fountain pen. It writes pretty smooth, ink lasts a long while. The tip does dry out overnight. Cleaning is easy.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: We're sorry that these pens didn't last for you as they should have. Please look for an email from one of our Customer Care agents – we'll be happy to take care of this!

Fantastic for left handers

Great pen for left handers. I liked it so much, i bought another set.
(7 of 7 customers found this review helpful)
By A medievalist
from Columbus, OHio
The pen's appearance is déclassé. Multicolor sparkles unappealing.The nibs are difficult to get to flow. The broad nib never did write. The nibs dry out overnight in a closed pen. I've noticed this in the new Schaeffer pens as well. Both Panache and Schaeffer have abandoned the screw on system with push-one, which doesn't seem to work.One cannot write or print quickly or the flow becomes sporadic leaving very ugly, sloppy looking lettering. One must stroke very slowly to maintain ink flow.

Quality product

Pens are really comfortable to hold especially for people with small hands, the nibs are a good quality.
Mixed result

Medium nib worked well. I was never able to make the broad nib feed ink and eventually gave up. Will probably not order Panache again.

Good Calligraphy Tool,
By Composer
from Bloomington, Indiana
I use this as an integral part of my compositional process. Fountain pens are perfect because the ease of ink flow means you can write for hours without wrist strain. This calligraphy set has many fine nibs with which I can write highly legible, even beautifully looking music. My only complaint comes from the aesthetic of the pens themselves. They look cheap, with their plastic barrels of pinkish-burgundy and blue imbued with glittery flecks. They look cheap, and even effeminate, which has given me a few raised eyebrows in rehearsals and collaborative settings. Furthermore, because the barrels and caps are plastic, they are subject to cracking should they be put under unintentional pressure on the barrel or cap. Minor and to be expected, but an eventuality if they ever leave the desk.Lastly, I wish all calligraphy pens came with more barrels. Most sets come with many more nibs than barrels, which presents a problem when a barrel gets lost or cracks. Personally, the only time I buy new sets is when the pen falls from my pocket in a public place and I'm out of barrels. I have a high surplus of nibs at the moment. But all manufacturers do this; my complaint is against the industry.

How lucky was I that good friends opted to get married here rather than in Brisbane their hometown. Even better that I stayed in 1 of the adorable little cottages to take in the full wonder of the Estate. Such a charming place to visit, the old buildings are amazing, the little Chapel is beautiful and there are animals galore....
The tour of the gardens around this majestic house were beautiful. The house has been looked after by descendents of the original inhabitants. Unfortunately it is not ooen for viewings as it is currently inhabited.
We attended a wedding reception at Brickendon, and have to say it was the most beautiful venue. The buildings and surrounds were lovely and the free ranging animals certainly kept our daughter enthralled.
We visited Brickendon Estate after our stop at the Brickendon farmstead across the road. The gardens they've created there in the families' long residence are amazing! The main house is very beautiful, but as it's a private residence you can't go in. You could easily spend an hour just strolling. So peaceful.
We took interstate visitors here and we all enjoyed the lovely gardens. Very impressive and would go there again.
If you are lucky enough to be invited to see the house gardens then it is a visit well spent in a glorious historic garden but it is polite to remember that this is the family's private grounds and stick to the paths.
A very good experience for us especially we are living in city. We stayed at the Garden Cottage, a cozy, comfortable with well equipped cottage. Felt like home inside and we liked the real fire place very much. Warm & romantic! The animal feeding time in the morning brought us lot of funs too!
visited in March 2014. I couldve spent many more hours there but will return when not on a time table.
A very warm welcome from one of the owners who gave us a comprehensive history of the family estate. The farm buildings were very interesting and the garden at the main homestead were truly beautiful.
Brickendon Estate is still a working farm with many historic farm buildings. The buildings are spread out but easy to walk around. The big drawback is that almost none of the building have anything in them and there is a lack of information about the buldings in the buildings. The chapel is easily the most interesting building in my opinion....

MACCHA, Lebanon— Since the beginning of the crisis in Syria last year, nearly 80,000 people have sought refuge in neighboring countries. Given that the vast majority of refugees are women and children, providing reproductive health care for people affected by the crisis in Syria has been UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund's, top priority.
Women fleeing the war often have no choice but to give birth on the run or in unsanitary settings.
"A 20-year-old gave birth alone in a kitchen and cut the newborn's umbilical cord with a string used for sewing chicken," recalls Zeina, one of two nurses running the only medical center for Syrian refugees in the village of Maccha in northern Lebanon. "When she came to us, the baby was crying and had a severe infection. The odor was unbearable."
Health care is affected by the conflict
Obstetricians and midwives know that childbirth is the most vulnerable time of a woman's life, and it is impossible to predict for certain when life-threatening complications will arise. Sourraya, a 22-year-old refugee and mother of five children, admits that even though she would have liked to seek medical care during her pregnancies, "there is a shortage of medical services available in Syria."
With the protracted conflict, medical services in Hosn and other remote towns of Syria are more limited than ever. "With the war, the only gynecologist in Hosn packed her things and fled," says Sourraya. "Her husband is the village pharmacist. He also closed down."
Taboos and misconceptions complicate health care
In her many years working with Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Zeina said the discussion of sexual and reproductive health is often taboo. "A 17-year-old girl who was engaged to her cousin came to us, she had not had her period in the last year, "mentioned Zeina. " She did not think of seeking medical attention. It is only when she consulted a generalist for a pain in her ear that she made allusion to it. It turned out she had an ovarian cyst."
Misconceptions about family planning options are also widespread. Many women refuse contraceptive injections because they believe it causes sterility. Men often refuse to take responsibility for contraception. "It doesn't work that way," says Sourraya.
UNFPA's assistance in Syria
UNFPA has come to action by helping distribute reproductive health kits and supplies to health centers in North Lebanon where many affected Syrian women and their families have sought refuge.
UNFPA is also organizing trainings to ensure that health workers can help prevent and manage the consequences of sexual violence, HIV transmission, and prevent neonatal and maternal morbidity.
Women and girls have also been given 'dignity kits' with personal items including sanitary supplies and to ensure women are provided with the antenatal and postnatal care they need, UNFPA has equipped and supplied clinics with gynecological beds, clean delivery kits for emergency deliveries, and contraceptives.
With your support, UNFPA can continue aiding Syrian women and girls during this crisis as the organization works to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is sage and every young person's potential is fulfilled.
Please consider making a contribution today, and help us raise awareness and funding by sharing the following report with people you know who believe that all women and girls must have the right to a life of health and equal opportunity.

Tarek Fatah (born November 20, 1949) is a Pakistan born Canadian writer,[1][2][3] broadcaster, secularist and liberal activist.[4]
Fatah is a founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress and served as its communications officer and spokesperson. Fatah advocates gay rights, a separation of religion and state, opposition to sharia law, and advocacy for a "liberal, progressive form" of Islam. Some of his activism and statements have been met with criticism from Muslim groups.

Tarek Fatah was born in Karachi, Pakistan, where his family had settled following the Partition of India. Fatah is of Punjabi origin.[5] He was a leftist student leader in the 1960s and 1970s.[1] Although he graduated with a degree in biochemistry from the University of Karachi, Fatah entered journalism as a reporter for the Karachi Sun in 1970, and was an investigative journalist for Pakistan Television.[citation needed] He was imprisoned twice by military regimes. Finally, 1977, he was charged with sedition by the General Zia-ul Haq regime and barred from journalism in Pakistan.[1]
He left Pakistan and settled in Saudi Arabia, before emigrating to Canada in 1987.[2]
His own introduction to himself says:
"I am an Indian born in Pakistan, a Punjabi born in Islam; an immigrant in Canada with a Muslim consciousness, grounded in a Marxist youth. I am one of Salman Rushdie's many Midnight's Children: we were snatched from the cradle of a great civilization and made permanent refugees, sent in search of an oasis that turned out to be a mirage."[1]
Political activity[edit]
He became involved in the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP) and worked on the staff of Premier Bob Rae. Fatah was an NDP candidate in the 1995 provincial election but was unsuccessful. He subsequently worked for Howard Hampton.
In July 2006, he left the NDP to support Bob Rae's candidacy for the Liberal Party of Canada's leadership. In an opinion piece published in Toronto's Now Magazine, Fatah wrote that he decided to leave the NDP because of the establishment of a "faith caucus" which he believes will open the way for religious fundamentalists to enter the party.[6] However, after Rae's defeat by Stéphane Dion, Fatah condemned similar racial and religious organizing activity in the Liberal Party, arguing in a Globe and Mail editorial that Tamil, Sikh, Kurdish and Islamist Muslim leaders had engaged in "blatant efforts to wield political muscle," "bargaining the price of their cadre of delegates" and creating a "political process that feeds on racial and religious exploitation."[7] "I respect the diversity of Canada," he wrote, "but I want to celebrate what unites us, not what divides us into tiny tribes that can be manipulated by leaders who sell us to the highest bidder."[7]
At a press conference on October 2, 2008, Fatah sharply criticized the New Democratic Party (NDP). Fatah stated that he was a lifetime social democrat who had supported the NDP for 17 years but that he could no longer be affiliated with that party. He claimed that the NDP began opening its doors to Islamists under Alexa McDonough and that, under Jack Layton, he had seen them "flood" into the party. Fatah stated that Islamists in the NDP have pursued a campaign to instill a sense of victimhood in Muslim youth.[8]
In early 2011, Fatah said that he received a threat via Twitter. Fatah contacted Toronto Police Service and later met with two police officers from 51 Division. Fatah said that police intelligence officers, one a Muslim officer who had shut down a previous investigation into a death threat, shut down the investigation and claimed there was no threat.[9][10] Fatah criticized the Toronto Police over the incident.[9]
In a 2015 Toronto Sun article, Fatah wrote that he would be voting for Conservative leader Stephen Harper in the 2015 federal elections, while calling himself a social democrat.[11] Fatah has also favoured both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders for the United States presidential race in 2016. He said that many Muslim groups, including himself, have recommended curbs on immigration from countries that harbour Islamist sympathisers, similar to policies promised by Trump.[12][13][14]
Media activity[edit]
From 1996 until 2006 he hosted Muslim Chronicle, a weekly Toronto-based current affairs discussion show on CTS and VisionTV which focussed on the Muslim community.[citation needed]
In 2003, Fatah broke with Irshad Manji in an article in the Globe and Mail in which he repudiated the thanks she gave him in the acknowledgment section of her book The Trouble with Islam. Fatah wrote of Manji's book that it "is not addressed to Muslims; it is aimed at making Muslim-haters feel secure in their thinking."[15] Manji replied saying that he told her in front of witnesses that "This book was written by the Jews for the Jews!"[16] Fatah was subsequently quoted as indicating that he regrets his remarks and that he was unfair in slamming Manji's book. He said that she was "right about the systematic racism in the Muslim world" and that "there were many redeeming points in her memoir, which I overlooked in my rush to judge it."[17]
He has also been a guest host of TVO's The Agenda filling in for Steve Paikin.
In February 2007, Fatah was included by Maclean's magazine on a list of 50 Canadians described as "Canada's most well known and respected personalities.".[18]
In December 2008, the Toronto Star suggested that Prime Minister Stephen Harper appoint Fatah to one of the vacant seats in the Canadian Senate.[19] Toronto Star's senior editor Bob Hepburn wrote that Fatah is "A prominent spokesperson for secular and progressive Muslim issues who would bring a much-needed unique perspective to the Senate."
CFRB 1010[edit]
From May to September 2009, Fatah co-hosted the "Strong Opinions Show" on Toronto's CFRB 1010. After the show's cancellation he joined CFRB's Moore in the Morning program as a commentator.[20] Starting in September, 2010, Fatah joined Ryan Doyle as a co-host of "Friendly Fire," the evening show on CFRB 1010. He hosted a Sunday afternoon show, The Tarek Fatah Show, and appeared as a commentator on other shows prior to leaving CFRB in January 2015.
Fatah writes a column for the Toronto Sun and appeared on the Sun News Network as a frequent guest host and commentator prior to the station's demise in February 2015.[21] Fatah has also written opinion pieces for various publications including TIME Magazine, the Toronto Star, the National Post and the Globe and Mail.
Debate with Sheharyar Shaikh[edit]
In February, 2011, Fatah was scheduled to have a debate with Sheharyar Shaikh of the North American Muslim Foundation (NAMF), after Shaikh issued an open challenge to Fatah to debate him. Fatah cancelled at the last minute and failed to show up.[22] Shaikh, who had defended polygamy and opposed secular educations for Muslims, was a critic of Fatah's views. Fatah stated that he had cancelled his appearance because the moderator was changed shortly before the event was to begin, and because the audience was "hostile". Fatah also claimed that he was warned by police of threats to his safety.[23] Fatah and Shaikh later appeared together in an interview for Sun News debating the role of Islam in ISIS.[24]
Fatah Ka Fatwah[edit]
Fatah is currently hosting a Hindi language talk show on India's Zee News channel called Fatah Ka Fatwah ("Fatah's Fatwah") which features panel discussions that include Muslims discussing Islamic issues followed by a commentary segment in which Fatah responds to often hostile questions recorded on the street. The show, which began airing 7 January 2017 and is scheduled to run on weekends for 13 weeks, is often provocative, criticising aspects of Islamic belief and practice and discussing Islamic terrorism, and has garnered tens of millions of viewers and is the country's most watched show in its early evening timeslot. The programme has fuelled objections by conservative Muslims and claims that it panders to Hindu nationalism and has resulted in petitions and legal attempts to force the show's cancellation as well as a bounty on Fatah's head and other threats against the host.[25]
South Asia[edit]
He is a staunch critic of Pakistan in his articles. In February 2013, the website of the Toronto Sun, where Fatah contributes his articles, was blocked in Pakistan. According to reports by Fatah himself, the block was likely due to Fatah's unsparing critiques of Pakistan published in the tabloid.[26] According to Fatah, he is also banned from making public speeches or lectures in Pakistan.[27]
Middle East[edit]
In October 2005, Fatah, in his role as communications director of the Muslim Canadian Congress, denounced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for calling for the destruction of Israel.[28]
Fatah stated that "The mullahs who control Iran with an iron grip merely use the pain of the Palestinian occupation for their own advantage in diverting people's attention from other pressing matters. They talk about wiping out Israel, but in reality the only people they have wiped out are fellow Iranians by the tens of thousands. After a reign of terror that killed thousands and drove many more into exile, they have used torture, arbitrary arrest, vigilante justice and murder to silence fellow Muslims in Iran."[28]
Fatah added that Ahmadinejad "insults Islam by usurping it to serve his own narrow political interests" and that "with friends like the Iranian ruling ayatollahs, the Palestinians do not need enemies."[28]
In 2010, the Toronto Star reported that Fatah believed in Israel's "right to exist" and Zionism, but was calling for an end to the illegal and "immoral" Israeli occupation of Palestine, and anti-Arabism, and that he supports a two-state solution. Fatah said that Israel's actions were fueling antisemitism, though antisemitism in itself, he believes, "violates Islam's essence".[29]
Fatah also condemned US President George W. Bush "for posturing as a deliverer of freedom while occupying Iraq." Regarding Iraq, Fatah wrote that "both Iran and the U.S. have helped destroy a nation."[28]
Islam and Muslims[edit]
Islamic radicalism[edit]
In a discussion hosted by the Globe and Mail in 2007, Fatah claimed that "most of the Islamic radicalism that you see today stems from the empowering of Saudi based Jihad groups that were funded and backed by the U.S. and the CIA throughout the Afghan war against the Soviet Union."[30]
Tarek sided with Michele Bachmann when she accused Huma Abedin of allegedly having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.[31]
Fatah argues that "Most secular and liberal institutions were destroyed piece by piece and what we are left with is the result of huge amounts of cash and weapons in the hands of the Taliban type, or Al-Qaeda groups that get their intellectual sustenance from the political teachings of the Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan Al-Banna and the leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami, Abul ala Maudoodi, both of whom preached Jehad as an obligation for all Muslims if they saw another Muslim under attack."[30]
He has stated that converts adopting the niqab face covering is indicative of joining "a cult", and offensive to Islam.[32]
In 2016, Tarek opposed the introduction of Sharia banking in India.[33] Tarek lashed out at Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor for naming their son after 14th emperor Taimur.[34][35][36] He is also the anchor in a Hindi show Fatah Ka Fatwa on Zee News.[37][38]
In January 2017, Fatah repeatedly asserted an unproven theory via Twitter that outgoing CIA director John O. Brennan is a converted Muslim.[39] In response to the the Quebec City mosque shooting he promoted the controversial view that, rather than being the act of a lone shooter, the involvement of an accomplice had been covered up by the Canadian government and police.[40]
Support for the Quran and opposition to Shariah[edit]
Fatah stressed that "The poison is not coming from the Quran, but from the man-made shariah laws of the 8th and 9th centuries as well as the works of such 20th century scholars as Syed Qutb, Hassan Banna and Maudoodi" and that "The swamp that needs to be drained is the swamp created by Saudi Arabia and Iran and their call for imposition of Shariah."[30]
Islam reformation[edit]
Fatah also stated that "it is not Islam that needs to be reformed, it is the need for Muslims to reconcile with modernity and the notion of the secular nation state ... Unfortunately, whereas the religious right in Islam is well funded and well organised, the liberal secular Muslim is too busy leading a 9-to-5 life, paying his mortgage and providing for his family and thus has no time or resources to challenge the Islamist extremists."[30]
According to the National Post he has also said "Islam is riddled with termites ... and if we don't cleanse ourselves with truth, the stench of our lies will drive us mad", and that there are "hateful sermons in almost every mosque" in Canada – Fatah himself does not attend a mosque and encourages Muslim parents to keep their children out of mosques because they have become, in his view, schools for fanaticism.[41]
Cordoba House Mosque[edit]
Writing with author Raheel Raza, a fellow board member of the Muslim Canadian Congress, about the location of the proposed Cordoba House mosque near Ground Zero, Fatah called the mosque a "deliberate provocation" and that the proposal was "made in bad faith."[42]
Honour killing[edit]
In November 2011, 60 Muslim groups and two dozen imams endorsed a statement that called for action against domestic violence, condemned honour killing as a notion that had "absolutely nothing to do with Islam". Tarek Fatah refused to endorse the statement, according to the National Post, arguing that the statement didn't address gender inequality and that honour killing has roots in Islam. According to Fatah Islam deems the relationship of an unmarried woman as "adultery" and imams must distance themselves from punishing such actions by death.[43]
Fatah stated that "The issue that has resulted in all the threats and allegations against us is our support for same-sex marriage. It's the central point on which the Muslim Canadian Congress and I have faced outright hostility, verging on violence. There is near unanimity in any religious group that this is the ultimate sin and, for them, this amounts to the ultimate betrayal." Regarding Islam and homosexuality, Fatah stated that "Our human rights cannot revolve around religion. It's not about our rights, it's about human rights."[44]
Fatah also criticized the support of some gay and lesbian Muslims for Hezbollah.[44]
Quebec City mosque shooting[edit]
Fatah has endorsed the discredited conspiracy theory that Muslims participated as perpetrators in the 2016 Quebec City mosque shooting that killed six people.[25]
Little Mosque on the Prairie[edit]
Fatah has been a critic of the sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie, calling it "propaganda" and "paid for by the Muslim Brotherhood". Fatah said "I found most white people would laugh at it because they were scared if they didn't laugh they'd be called a racist."[45] He has also called the show "Islamist" and labeled the show "Little Masquarade on the Prairie.[46]
Criticism of Ontario Human Rights Commission[edit]
In April 2008, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) dismissed a complaint about allegedly Islamophobic articles in Maclean's magazine. However, the commission criticized the newsweekly for publishing articles that were "inconsistent with the spirit" of the Ontario Human Rights Code, and doing "serious harm" to Canadian society by "promoting societal intolerance" and disseminating "destructive, xenophobic opinions."[47]
Fatah said that for the Commission "to refer to Maclean's magazine and journalists as contributing to racism is bullshit, if you can use that word" and that the Commission has unfairly taken sides against freedom of speech in a dispute within the Canadian Muslim community between moderates and fundamentalists.[47] On October 2, 2008, Fatah said that the OHRC has been "infiltrated by Islamists" and that some of its commissioners are closely linked to the Canadian Islamic Congress and the Canadian Arab Federation, both of which, according to Fatah, have "contempt for Canadian values."[8]
Praise and criticism[edit]
Michael Coren, a notable critic of Islam, has praised Fatah for being "brave" enough to admit the "faults and failings" of Islam.[41]
Wael Haddara, president of the Muslim Association of Canada, said that he "respect[s]" Fatah for his passion but that it was "hard, if not downright impossible, to find something positive that he has ever said about Muslims." As a result, Haddara argues, Muslims are no longer listening to Fatah.[41]
Syed Soharwardy, an Imam in Calgary, said that while Fatah's views are valuable, he stereotypes Islam by extrapolating the behavior of a few extremists to represent the religion as a whole.[41]
Advocacy groups[edit]
Muslim Canadian Congress[edit]
Fatah was one of the founders of the Muslim Canadian Congress in 2001, after the September 11 attacks[48] and served as its communications director and spokesperson until 2006. He spoke out against the introduction of Sharia law as an option for Muslims in civil law in Ontario, Sharia banking in Canada, which he has described as a 'con-job', promoted social liberalism in the Muslim community and the separation of religion from the state, and endorsed same-sex marriage.
In July 2006, Fatah was the subject of an email campaign at Canadian media over his views.[49] Fatah resigned as the communications director of the MCC in August 2006, citing concerns about his safety and his family member's safety.[49]
Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC)[edit]
Mohamed Elmasry[edit]
In October 2004 CIC President Mohamed Elmasry stated that all Israelis over 18 are legitimate targets for suicide bombers.[50] Fatah, along with other Jewish and Muslim organizations, called on Elmasry to quit.[50]
In June 2006, Elmasry said that Fatah is "well known in Canada for smearing Islam and bashing Muslims." Fatah responded that "[t]his is a classic threat to label anyone as an apostate and then marginalize them," … "and this is what Mr. Elmasry has done by listing me as the top anti-Islam Muslim." Fatah said he saw the label from Elmasry as tantamount to a death sentence. Leonard Librande, professor of religion at Carleton University, told CTV News "There's nothing particularly Islamic in this… There are differences of opinion frequently in the community. It doesn't mean somebody is going to kill you."[51]
Wahida Valiante[edit]
Wahida Valiante, president of the CIC, told the Globe and Mail that "Tarek Fatah's views are diametrically opposed to most Muslims. There is a tremendous amount of discussion in the community. His point of view contradicts the fundamentals of Islam." [52] Fatah wrote to the RCMP to complain about the CIC's article claiming that it "is as close as one can get to issuing a death threat as it places me as an apostate and blasphemer."[53]
Canadian Arab Federation[edit]
In February 2009, Fatah criticized the Canadian Arab Federation (CAF), CAF President Khaled Mouammar, and CAF's vice-president in Ontario, Ali Mallah, in an article published in the National Post. Fatah, who received the CAF's highest award in December 2001, stated that the CAF's current leadership has turned the organization "into a mouthpiece for Hamas and Hezbollah in Canada." Fatah stated that the CAF used to sponsor debates on the pros and cons of the Oslo peace accord but today labels "any backer of the two-state solution [as] a traitor to the Muslim cause."[54]
Fatah is the author of Chasing a Mirage: The Tragic Illusion of an Islamic State, published in 2008. In the book Fatah argues against the establishment of an Islamic state as a necessary prerequisite to entering the state of Islam. He suggests that the idea of an Islamic state is merely a mirage that Muslims have been made to chase for over a millennium.
The Toronto Star reviewer John Goddard said that book was a "richly layered work of stark realities."[55] Emran Qureshi in the Globe and Mail said that Fatah had provided a "substantial contribution to the critique of the Islamic state and the state of Islam, especially in Canada" but criticized the book for its "gratuitous polemics" and sloppy fact-checking.[56] The book was praised by the Mackenzie Institute, which stated that it is "a direct challenge to the fanatics of the Wahhabi, Deobandi, and Khomeinist traditions. His exposition is solidly rooted in the oldest texts and histories of Islam and argues that the pursuit of an imperial Islamic state has soiled the religion, and violates the intentions of Mohammed himself."[57] On March 31, 2009, the conservative Donner Canadian Foundation announced "Chasing a Mirage" had been shortlisted for their $35,000 Donner Prize, awarded to non-fiction texts covering public policy.[58]
Fatah's second book, titled The Jew Is Not My Enemy: Unveiling the Myths that Fuel Muslim Anti-Semitism,[59] was published by McClelland & Stewart in October 2010. The book won the 2010 Annual Helen and Stan Vine Canadian Book Award in Politics and History.[citation needed] Fatah was awarded the Helen and Stan Vine Canadian Book Award in Politics and History.[41]

The Research and Documentation Centre (RDC) has since 2004 documented human losses during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 21 June 2007 they presented the results of their work.
Focus on the victimsAfter spending more than four years of collecting data and about the persons who were killed or are still missing after the war in the 1990s, RDC, lead by Mirsad Tokaca, presented last Thursday the results of their work. 97.207 profiles are registered and collected in a huge database called The Bosnian Book of Dead. For RDC the victims are the main focus – who they were, and how and when they were killed.
Minimum 97.207 killed during the warOut of the 97.207 persons who are registered killed or missing during the war, 39.684 are civilians and 57.523 are military victims. RDC has based their information on official lists of military personnel when they have registered the victims. A certain amount of under-representation of civilian victims can therefore be found in the data, because some military personnel have lost their lives outside of combat and thus had status as civilians. Out of the civilian victims that RDC has registered, 33.070 are Bosniaks, 4.075 are Serbs, and 2.163 are Croats. RDC has only included person who lost their lives as a direct cause of war. People who died of indirect causes of the war, such as hunger or lack of medicines, are therefore not included in the database.
1992 – the most violent year1992 stands out as the most violent year with a total of 45.110 killed, of whom 21.813 are civilians. Only in June this year, 10.546 persons were killed, 6.125 of these civilians.
The number of 97.207 killed and missing persons that is now documented is considerable lower that the first estimates presented after the war. Estimates between 200.000 and 300.000 have circulated for years, and different political camps have had a tendency to use numbers which they mean best promote their case.
Positive, independent evaluation of the research methodsThree independent experts have evaluated the method and work conducted by RDC, and they did also present the conclusions of their evaluation 21 June. Ewa Tabeau is a demographer and works currently at the ICTY in The Hague. Patrick Ball is a sociologist and the director of the Human Rights Programme at the Benetech Initiative in California. He has earlier been working with nine truth commissions throughout the world. Philip Verwimp is a statistics who has specialised on the war in Rwanda.
The three evaluators emphasised in their presentation that RDC has made an important and unique database. Those errors that occur, such as incomplete profiles of the victims, must not be seen as a database problem, but as a reporting problem. This, in addition to some duplications, can and will be corrected. The conclusion of the evaluators was that the degree of incompleteness and errors are on a low and acceptable level. The experts also underlined that the number of victims that has so far been documented is a minimum number. Patrick Ball, a member of the evaluation team, said that Tokaca's database "is better than any I worked with so far. The project continues, but I do not expect the number to rise for more than 10.000 cases." RDC will carry on the collection of information about the dead and missing, but the indications show that the database is close to completion.
Panel debate with Member of Presidency and Prime MinisterMember of the Presidency, Mr. Zeljko Komsic, and Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Mr. Nikola Spiric, attended the panel debate which followed the presentation. Also, Marko Prelec from the Office of the State Prosecutor, and professor Zdravko Grebo from the University of Sarajevo attended the panel, together with the three experts and Mirsad Tokaca. Nerma Jelacic from Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) was mediator at the conference. Spiric emphasised that RDC has focused on a humane approach to the victims, and that the database is not only numbers. Komsic drew attention to the problem of political manipulation of numbers, and urged Tokaca and his team to keep on going even though they are attacked by politicians.
Norwegian supportThe Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has since the establishment of the Research and Documentation Centre in 2004 been the centre's main supporter. Other important donors of RDC are the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The Norwegian Ambassador Mr. Jan Braathu said in his opening speech that "truth and knowledge are crucial prerequisites for reconciliation. Only by documenting the facts about what happened will there be an opportunity to face the past in a constructive way."

- I comin' too! (as she's following me everywhere I go!)
- Darn it! (and always at just the right time - hilarious!)
- Ooooh, boy. (when accidents happen)
- Mama's proud of you! (every time she does something she knows will make me happy:-)
- And my latest favorite - she gets "No way, Jose'" and "Sorry, Charlie" (both things I often say to her) mixed up, and says "Sorry, Jose'!"
