VSB Docket No. 00-053-2105
On April 18, 2001, a meeting in this matter was held before a duly convened Fifth District--Section III Subcommittee consisting of H. Jan Roltsch-Anoll, Esquire, Dr. Theodore Smith, and John D. Primeau, Esquire, presiding.
Pursuant to Part 6, ßIV, Ź 13(B)(5) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia, the Fifth District--Section III Subcommittee of the Virginia State Bar hereby serves upon the Respondent the following Public Reprimand as set forth below:
1. At all times relevant hereto, William August Boge, Esq., (hereafter "Respondent"), has been an attorney licensed to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
2. On or about March 16, 1999, Ms. Karen L. Nelson (hereafter "Complainant") engaged Respondent to file suit against a storage firm and auctioneer in connection with their handling and disposal of Complainant's personal property.
3. When Respondent did not take prompt action on Complainant's behalf, Complainant left voice mail messages and sent a letter to Respondent requesting return of her file.
4. Respondent did not respond to Complainant's messages, and on December 16, 1999, she filed a Complaint against Respondent with the Virginia State Bar.
5. On January 10, 2000, an Assistant Intake Counsel at the Virginia State Bar sent a letter to Respondent requesting that he respond to Complainant and that he notify the Bar within ten days following the date of the letter, in writing, of action he had taken.
6. When Respondent did not respond as requested to the Bar's January 10, 2000, letter, intake counsel again wrote to Respondent via letter dated February 7, 2000. Although Respondent thereafter contacted the Virginia State Bar by telephone, he did not otherwise respond to the Bar in the manner requested, nor did he return the Complainant's file in response to intake counsel's efforts.
7. The Bar thereafter opened an active investigation file, and on March 3, 2000, Bar Counsel wrote to Respondent, enclosing a copy of the Bar Complaint, and requesting a written answer within twenty-one (21) days following the date of the letter. Respondent did not answer Bar Counsel's letter.
8. A Virginia State Bar investigator retrieved Complainant's file from Respondent on April 18, 2000, made appropriate copies, and furnished Complainant with the file materials to which she was entitled, by mail, on April 19, 2000.
The Subcommittee finds that the following Disciplinary Rules and Rules of Professional Conduct have been violated:
DR 2-108. Terminating Representation.
(D) Upon termination of representation, a lawyer shall take reasonable steps for the continued protection of a client's interests, including giving reasonable notice to the client, allowing time for employment of other counsel, delivering all papers and property to which the client is entitled, and refunding any advance payment of fee that has not been earned. The lawyer may retain papers relating to the client to the extent permitted by applicable law.
RULE 1.16 Declining Or Terminating Representation
(e) All original, client-furnished documents and any originals of legal instruments or official documents which are in the lawyer's possession (wills, corporate minutes, etc.) are the property of the client and shall be returned to the client upon request,
whether or not the client has paid the fees and costs owed the lawyer. If the lawyer wants to keep a copy of such original documents, the lawyer must incur the cost of duplication. Upon request, the client must also be provided copies of the following documents from the lawyer's file, whether or not the client has paid the fees and costs owed the lawyer: lawyer/client and lawyer/third-party communications; the lawyer's copies of client-furnished documents (unless the originals have been returned to the client pursuant to this paragraph); pleadings and discovery responses; working and final drafts of legal instruments, official documents, investigative reports, legal memoranda, and other attorney work product documents prepared for the client in the course of the representation; research materials; and bills previously submitted to the client. Although the lawyer may bill and seek to collect from the client the costs associated with making a copy of these materials, the lawyer may not use the client's refusal to pay for such materials as a basis to refuse the client's request. The lawyer, however, is not required under this Rule to provide the client copies of billing records and documents intended only for internal use, such as memoranda prepared by the lawyer discussing conflicts of interest, staffing considerations, or difficulties arising from the lawyer/client relationship.
RULE 8.1 Bar Admission And Disciplinary Matters
An applicant for admission to the bar, or a lawyer in connection with a bar admission application, in connection with any certification required to be filed as a condition of maintaining or renewing a license to practice law, in connection with a disciplinary matter, shall not:
(c) fail to respond to a lawful demand for information from an admissions or disciplinary authority, except that this Rule does not require disclosure of information otherwise protected by Rule 1.6; or
(d) obstruct a lawful investigation by an admissions or disciplinary authority.
Accordingly, it is the decision of the Subcommittee to impose a PUBLIC REPRIMAND on Respondent, William August Boge, Esquire, and he is so reprimanded.

Hello!!! I wanted to take a quick moment to take you back stage with us for one last time. Today is Saturday, December 21st and I am backstage and just about to go into act 2!
This show has been wonderful, and so have the cast and crew. I am honored to know and work with all of them. And I am especially impressed with their professionalism. Yesterday, we had 8 hours between shows and all were able to let our hair down in downtown Arlington Heights. There we ate at Dunton House, caught a movie and when all was said and done, were able to come right back to the theatre and put on a show for a wonderful audience. It was great to see the dichotomy between the professional and personal worlds, along with how close we have become over the run.
And so this is the part where I let you in on a little actor secret: no matter how professional a cast and crew are, there is one universal fact when it comes to acting… the energy our audience brings is the key to an energetic performance. Whether it be applause after our dance numbers or the excitement of our student audiences when the lights go down; it's YOU who are the secret key to our success.
So as we wind down the show and share it with you for one last weekend, I am brought to an appreciation of what the audience has given me and the rest of the cast… your support. Scrooge says it best at the end of the show, "Your presence is gift enough" (though I'd add that any donation to Tickets for Hope, Metropolis, etc. are much appreciated). But even more, your presence is a gift that keeps on giving. So with that said, thank you for your time and generosity. Thank you for your support and presence. And most of all, thank you for including us in what has become a very special holiday tradition for us all.
Best Wishes and Warm Regards,
David Nadolski
"Bob Cratchit"

Since 2002, each year at this time, Metropolis is proud to present our production of A Christmas Carol. Though we may reuse set pieces and costumes from year to year, each new director and cast bring about a refreshed telling of the holiday classic. This year, Metropolis presents an adaptation of A Christmas Carol written by our resident playwright Scott Woldman, with music by Micky York (who also directs this year). Scott and Micky put some extra time and care into the script this year, expanding and revising some scenes to make this year's production even more delightful for our audiences. Here's a quick look back at the last few years of A Christmas Carol at Metropolis with some photos.
Click here for more info, dates and show times for Metropolis' production of A Christmas Carol, playing through December 24.

As we make our way through tech rehearsals, the cast is spending quite a bit of time together. Here are a few photos from our recent rehearsals.
Checking in with our Tiny Tims
November 21, 2013 § Leave a comment
We asked a few questions of Myrin Vollkommer (8) and Sophie Rohr (9), our two actors sharing the role of Tiny Tim in our upcoming production of A Christmas Carol, to get their take on the show and the holiday season.
Did you know the story of A Christmas Carol before rehearsals started?
Myrin: Yes, I liked when Scrooge changed his attitude.
Sophie: I sort of knew the story because I watched the Disney movie. I thought it was cool with all of the visits from the spirits.
What's your favorite moment in this show?
Myrin: When Scrooge meets the delivery guy and says "I want to kiss you."
Sophie: My favorite moment is when Tiny Tim says "God bless us, everyone!"
Why do you like playing Tiny Tim?
Myrin: Because I like acting.
Sophie: I like having the last line in the show.
What's the hardest part of playing Tiny Tim?
Myrin: The crutch.
Sophie: There is no hard part. It's just fun!
What are you most looking forward to once performances begin?
Myrin: Performing in front of a live audience.
Sophie: Having fun performing.
What's your favorite part of the holiday season?
Myrin: Getting presents.
Sophie: Hanging out with my family.
Are there any special gifts on your wishlist this year?
Myrin: ipad
Sophie: I really want a microscope because I love science.
See Myrin and Sophie in A Christmas Carol running November 29 – December 24 at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in downtown Arlington Heights.

Hello, my name is Lara Allison, and I am an actor in A Christmas Carol at Metropolis. I'm 12 years old and in seventh grade at South Middle School in Arlington Heights. I was in A Christmas Carol last year too, and I am SO glad to be returning. I had such a great experience last year, and I really hope this year ends up being just as, or even more, fun.
I have a few new roles this year. I'm playing Fred's daughter, which is new to the script, and we also added an orphan part that looks interesting! I also get to reprise my favorite role of Ignorance in the last Christmas Present scene.
In rehearsals for the last month, the kids have been doing a lot of blocking, singing and dancing. This year's "Fill Up The Bowl" song and dance scene is much more extravagant, and that takes a lot of energy!
Yesterday was basically the first rehearsal with all the adults and the kids. It was pretty exciting to be meeting everyone all together for the first time. I only recognized Holly (the stage manager), Micky (the director),and actors Josh, Dave, Tyler, Margie and Claire who also are returning from last year. Everyone in the cast seems funny and friendly. I am super excited to do my 14 shows with them, including one show that my entire 7th grade class is coming to see!
Tech week is coming up and that looks like a lot of fun too, but it also seems like I'm going to have a lot of homework that week (there always seems to be more homework when you're in a show)! During tech, every element that isn't produced by the actors comes into play – like the lighting, set and sound. It's when the entire show comes together. I really hope the tech rehearsals go smoothly, and then . . . it's show time!
I appreciate you taking the time to read my post. If possible, please come to one of our shows (playing November 29 – December 24) and enjoy A Christmas Carol 2013!
Happy Holidays!

Guest post from Christmas Carol cast member Martin Hughes
This post is inspired in part by the most recent contribution made from our ranks. We recently had a designer run with members of the children's chorus joining us and it was truly wonderful to have all of us together to put the show on its feet. As diligently as the adult cast members (and Tiny Tims, of course) have been rehearsing, you really can't replace the presence (or the energy) that the children's chorus brings to the show. All logistics aside (which are incredibly important to not bumping into one another and whatnot), the creative spark is fueled by the contributions of everyone together, which is why it was so integral to have the time with all of us together to breathe life into this work.
So why "Family", you ask? Because, as an actor, you're constantly creating communities with your fellow actors. I much prefer to think of them as family because, as with your own, it's not always roses, and that's okay. We learn our likes and dislikes, we make each other laugh, and we're there for each other when things get rough because, if we didn't, we wouldn't be able to fully share ourselves on stage in our work. I don't care what anyone says, no person is an island; an individual can be talented, but a supportive community can be transformative, and, to me, that is at the core of our work. So, in our time together, we create a family, a family of all the characters that I'm sure you have in your own family (except the Ghosts…possibly), to bring light and life to the stage, so that you bring your own light to others in your life.
As we come closer and closer to opening, the prospect of sharing our work with you all becomes more and more exciting. Our family can't wait to meet yours! :-)

Annika is a member of the children's chorus in this year's production of A Christmas Carol.
I just turned 14 and A Christmas Carol is my first show with Metropolis. I have had a lot of fun in this show so far! One time for a break in rehearsal, the other kids and I sat around telling scary stories. Yesterday we had our first walk through. After an hour of practicing parts of the show, it went really well. It's cool how fast the show has come together. I can't wait for the shows to start!
A Christmas Carol opens November 29 and runs through December 24 at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in Arlington Heights.

"Lovers of championship golf, now is your chance to live the dream. The Tiger Woods Dubai is a private residential community offering some of the most exclusive and luxurious homes ever built in Dubai," is the opening sales pitch from the Dubai Properties Group Web site. Unfortunately, due to a struggling luxury market, the Tiger Woods Dubai dream has become a ... wait for it... you know it's coming... a nightmare. (God, help me for writing this.)
Writer's dignity aside, it's true. Woods' luxury golf development is only one of hundreds of developments in Dubai that have been either canceled or suspended as risk-takers and international property speculators have retrenched following the financial crisis.
"The decision was based on current market conditions that do not support high-end luxury real estate," Dubai Properties, a unit of Dubai Holding, said in a statement to Bloomberg via mobile-phone text message.
The Tiger Woods Dubai resort, "set amongst 55 million sq. ft. of tranquil landscaped grounds," which is short for "the middle of the desert," was to have included the "spectacular 18 hole Al Ruwaya Golc Club" featuring "dramatic elevation changes, lush landscaping" (did we mention this thing was located in the middle of the desert?) and "stunning water features." Seriously, they were going to build this in the middle of the desert. See, Google maps... look:
^^^^^^^ This is the middle of the desert!
In addition to the golf course, the resort was to have included 292 residential plots for palaces (PALACES! LOL!), mansions, luxury villas and golf villas.
Check out some photos of Tiger's Dream in the Desert. And look, that's no mirage, that's water!!! In the desert!!!

Sumner has spoken:
Reuters: Sumner Redstone, executive chairman of CBS Corp, said on Wednesday that he thinks the U.S. stock market is at the start of a bull market...
"I think we're in the beginning of a bull market. When a bull market begins, nine months later the economy turns around," said the media mogul at the Milken Institute, who said he felt like he had the vital statistics of 20 year old.
"It was always tough, but today we are in the throes of something we have never seen in our history. It's clear in recent times the market is looking for a bottom."
"The news was extremely bad on the GDP and the market went up. In a bull market, the market ignores bad news. Today, we ignored extremely bad news," Redstone said in a Q&A session with CNN's Larry King.

June 2011 Visa Bulletin - Delay in Processing Explained
Sunday, June 5, 2011
The 3rd Ministerial Instruction (MI-3) is expected to be issued anytime now, on or before July 1, 2011. Considering the application backlogs, the upcoming Immigration Minister's Instruction would be crucial. It may worsen the backlogs or limit the opportunities for those planning to live and work in Canada. The next Ministerial Instruction may provide the new list of priority occupations, the number of applications to received and quite possibly, changes in the points system
Alternative Programs
If Citizenship and Immigration Canada decided to focus on their backlogs, there is a chance that there would be a fewer occupations to be listed as priority and fewer number of applications to be received for the next twelve months starting July 1, 2011. Should that be the case, that would mean the cap would be reached instantly. This is where you need to seriously consider finding an employer in Canada who might be willing to sponsor your application. Start preparing a Canadian resume format, prepare a good cover letter and find job vacancies through Canada Jobs Portal. With a job offer from Canada, you may apply under Provincial Nominee Program or Federal Skilled Worker program with Arranged Employment Opinion (AEO).
Delay in processing
Based on the recent processing times published at Citizenship and Immigration Canada website, it now takes 75 months for them to process applications filed on or before February 27, 2008 at Canadian Visa Office in Manila. It used to be 36 months. The Visa Office in Manila is yet to finish applications filed in 2004.
For applications filed between November 2008 and June 25, 2010, it now takes 12 months. It used to be 6-12 months.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada is prioritizing applicants filed under Ministerial Instruction 2 (MI-2) because it seeks to respond to the most urgent labor market needs first. That explains the delay in processing, why nurses filed under MI-2 are getting results faster than some nurses filed under MI-1 even if their applications were filed several months earlier.
Illogical Approach, Let's Make a Protest!
Citizenship and Immigration Canada's decision to prioritize applicant's filed under MI-2 does not make sense. It is illogical and unfair. Nurses and physicians are both included in the priority list under MI-1 and MI-2. Are they trying to say that nurses and physicians filed under MI-2 best respond to labor market demand? What's their basis?
If you are one of those affected, you have two options. You may either wait until your application is reviewed (12 months from the time the visa office received your application) or write a letter to the visa office and voice out your protest. You have all the right to write them a letter but avoid multiple and redundant follow up. I strongly suggest you do the latter. Otherwise, be prepared to wait longer if there are nurses and physicians again included in the Ministerial Instruction 3. Who do you think would be prioritized following their logic? We have already wrote them a letter, you can do the same.
Free Canadian Visa Internet Scam Alert
Please do not be deceived by scammers who promise free Canadian visa processing. Recently, many applicants have been receiving an email allegedly from firstname.lastname@example.com offering a free and guaranteed Canadian visa processing. Citizenship and Immigration Canada warned the public about it. It is a scam!

A jerk boss can be just as harmful to your health as secondhand smoking
A jerk boss can be just as harmful to your health as secondhand smoking says Buzzhearts' "Study Reveals That A Bad Boss Can Make Employees Sick." Like smoking, the longer you deal with a stressful boss and feel like your job is at risk, the greater risk you have of damaged physical and mental health.
Harvard Business School and Stanford University researchers connected the levels of stress at work to the health harm caused by exposure to a considerable amount of smoke from other people's cigarettes.
How to recognize a jerk boss – and cope
Think you're being bullied at work? Learn the signs, according to the Workplace Bullying Institute:
- You attempt the obviously impossible task of doing a new job without training or time to learn new skills, but that work is never good enough for the boss
- Surprise meetings are called by your boss with no results other than further humiliation
- Everything your tormenter does to you is arbitrary and capricious, working a personal agenda that undermines the employer's legitimate business interests
- Others at work have been told to stop working, talking, or socializing with you
- You are constantly feeling agitated and anxious, experiencing a sense of doom, waiting for bad things to happen
- No matter what you do, you are never left alone to do your job without interference
- People feel justified screaming or yelling at you in front of others, but you are punished if you scream back
- HR tells you that your harassment isn't illegal, that you have to "work it out between yourselves"
- You finally, firmly confront your tormentor to stop the abusive conduct and you are accused of harassment
- You are shocked when accused of incompetence, despite a history of objective excellence, typically by someone who cannot do your job
- Everyone – co-workers, senior bosses, HR – agrees (in person and orally) that your tormentor is a jerk, but there is nothing they will do about it (and later, when you ask for their support, they deny having agreed with you)
- Your request to transfer to an open position under another boss is mysteriously denied.

When Lonnie and I were engaged, we bought our first house, which is on Hyland Lake Drive in Murray, Utah. It was a lovely old four bedroom house. It was a great place for us to start our marriage and our family.
Shortly after moving into the house and meeting the neighbors, we started hearing bits and pieces about the people that had lived there before us. According to the neighbors, the prior owners were nudists. We had this confirmed when we found out that they had sold the house and moved to a nudist colony. They must have been high self-esteem nudists with all the full-length mirrors in the house.
Max and Maya never lived in this house. We moved to Texas before they were born and since then we have moved to Auckland and lived in two different homes. But our house on Hyland Lake Drive was where our family began, and it will always have a special place in my heart as our first home. It wasn't until the last couple of weeks that the residual effects of our family living in a nudist home started to show. No, don't worry, Lonnie and I aren't going to run off to a nudist colony. Maya loves to wear clothes, but Max loves to be naked. Once he is naked, getting him dressed is a huge struggle. He runs away, hides, and does anything he can to stay naked. He walks around the house naked. He runs outside naked. He even climbs trees naked. After we put him to bed, we will go down to check on the kids only to find Max completely naked asleep in his bed.
I can't imagine this has anything whatsoever to do with my parenting or anything to do with the therapy-inducing stress of potty-training....so I'm just going to blame it on the nudists.

UPDATE: Scroll down for a first clip from "Shame."
If two critically lauded films make a director "rising," then rising director Steve McQueen premiered his second film, "Shame," at Venice, starring Hollywood's favorite new character actor, Michael Fassbender. McQueen, a contemporary artist who only recently began trying his hand at feature films, first gained attention with "Hunger," a film about the 1981 Irish hunger strike that also features Fassbender (and which you can stream on Netflix Instant).
McQueen moves from one primal desire to another in "Shame," which follows the life of a man who is addicted to sex and has it at least once a day in creative locations across Manhattan. His routine is upset when his sister, Sissy (Carey Mulligan), comes for a visit.
Fassbender is also in Venice for the premiere of "A Dangerous Method," in which he plays a sexually conflicted Carl Jung. He expressed some discomfort at playing the graphic scenes in "Shame":
"Just have to jump into it," Fassbender said. "The most important thing, I suppose, is just make sure that everybody involved is comfortable, and just sort of go for it so you don't have to do too many takes."
It seems to have paid off, though, as the critics agree it's all very much in the service of art. Read on for more opinions from Venice:
Xan Brooks for the Guardian: "Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan give dynamite performances in Shame, a terrific second feature from the British artist Steve McQueen... This is fluid, rigorous, serious cinema; the best kind of adult movie." Grade: 4 out of 5 stars
Dave Calhoun for Time Out London: "Like 'Hunger', 'Shame' is interested in the stark immediacy of one man's world and drawing us into that world without judgement or easy explanations... You imagine McQueen feels there's a lot of many - or all - of us in Brandon, even if his troubles feel quite uniquely tragic in the moment." Grade: 4 out of 5 stars
Guy Lodge for In Contention: "It's no slight on the actors, and only a measure of the hand guiding them, that McQueen remains the star here. Like the finest filmmakers from a fine-arts background, he has a consistently rewarding understanding of the narrative powers of composition: abetted by heaving, tricky sound design and Harry Escott's counter-intuitively soaring score, 'Shame' conjures image upon image of such astonishing beauty that they'd risk stalling the film if not for the spare depth of feeling grounding the whole." Grade: 3 1/2 stars out of 4
Oliver Lyttelton for Playlist: "McQueen, like almost no other filmmaker, is confident enough to frame up and let the actors work, and it's the source of most of the film's most memorable moments... Not a single composition or camera movement is wasted, and if anything, it feels like McQueen is even more in command of his craft than he was before, if such a thing is possible... the film is a powerful, beautifully acted sophomore film, and more than ever, we'll be watching what McQueen does next like a hawk." Grade: A-
Overall Grade: A-
"Shame" does not currently have a U.S. release date.

Berti Vogts' team will have to beat eliminated Benin in their final match on Tuesday, and hope that Mali slip-up.
Fredi Kanoute fluffed Mali's best chance in injury time, shooting over in the box after Seydou Keita hit the bar.
Nigeria were restricted to half-chances with John Mikel Obi coming closest with a fizzing shot.
Yakubu Aiyegbeni had a goal ruled out for offside after 75 minutes, in a match that was full of tension.
The pressure was on the Super Eagles from the start as they faced an embarrassing Nations Cup exit if they were defeated by Mali, after Group B rivals Ivory Coast convincingly thrashed Benin earlier in the day.
German coach Berti Vogts made three changes to the best ranked side in Africa, bringing in Osaze Odemwingie (Lokomotiv Moscow), Obinna Nwaneri (Sion) and Obinna Nsofor (Chievo) for injured captain Nwankwo Kanu, Portsmouth's John Utaka and Onyekachi Apam from Nice.
But it was the Eagles of Mali who started the better of the two sides with full back Amadou Sidibe and Adama Tamboura providing dangerous service from the left wing to a lurking Kanoute.
Newcastle United's Obafemi Martins tested the reactions of Mahamadou Sidibe with a low shot from outside the area, but otherwise the Nigerians still seemed to lack the impetuous that had taken them to the semi-final stage of the last three tournaments.
With nearly half an hour gone the Super Eagles had only mustered half-chances and long shots, as the game became a battle of wills between the midfields marshalled by Mikel Obi and Mohamed Sissoko.
Driven on by the ever-present trumpet-playing supporters, the two sides were locked in a tactical stalemate, which though fascinating for the aficionado, failed to provide a spark.
Vogts replaced Martins with John Utaka to try and engineer a breakthrough on the restart, but it was Mali's Seydou Keita who forced a diving save from Austin Ejide first, before Kanoute went close again from 25 yards.
The Nigerian contingent was becoming increasingly anxious, especially as Mali had better possession in the final third.
Nigeria's mis-firing attack continued when Everton's Yakubu had a half-chance snuffed out on 55 minutes and Obinna Nsofor mis-hit from ten yards out.
It prompted Vogts to swap Odemwingie with Getafe's Ikechukwu Uche.
The game needed a flash of inspiration from one of the stars on the pitch, but to the dismay of an increasingly irritable crowd, the likes of Mahamdou Diarra and Mikel were all too quiet.
Uche snatched at a shot on the edge of the five-yard area with 20 minutes to go, exemplifying the fact that, as in the first half, the strikers from both sides were feeding off scraps.
There finally seemed light at the end of the tunnel for Nigerian fans, when Yakubu fired home a mis-hit cross from the right, only for the chance to be judged offside.
Keita then had Nigerian fans with their hearts in their mouths when he rattled the Super Eagles' cross bar with a twenty-five yard pile driver.
The game was finally coming to life with Mikel unleashing a shot that whistled past the post.
In the dying minutes Mali captain Diarra was given a yellow card which means he will miss the Eagles' crucial final Group B game against Ivory Coast.
The best chance of the game fell to Kanoute in the dying seconds of injury time when the Sevilla front man sent his shot skywards from ten yards out, despite being unmarked.

text: Most Australians support policy of sending refugees back to home countries [File: EPA]Australia has confirmed it handed over a boatload of asylum seekers to Sri Lankan authorities in a transfer at sea, drawing outrage from rights groups who fear those on board could face persecution when they go home. The 41 Sri Lankans were intercepted by Australia's border patrol off the Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean in late June, Australian immigration minister, Scott Morrison, said in a statement on Monday. "All were screened in terms of any potential protection obligation and none were found to be owed that protection. Immigration Minister Scott Morrison This is the first time Prime Minister Tony Abbott's government has confirmed that it has screened asylum seekers at sea and returned them directly to their home country. On Sunday, the asylum seekers were handed over to the Sri Lankan government after their refugee claims were assessed at sea and rejected. For days, Morrison refused to comment on reports that Australian officials had intercepted two boats carrying around 200 Sri Lankan asylum seekers and handed them over to Sri Lankan authorities. On Monday, the minister again declined to say whether a second boat exists, and his spokesman did not respond to requests for clarification. In a bid to stem a rising tide of asylum seekers trying to reach Australian shores, the conservative government implemented a tough policy of turning back their boats. Until now, vessels had been returned to Indonesia, where asylum seekers from Afghanistan, Iran, Sri Lanka, and other countries pay people smugglers to ferry them to Australia aboard rickety boats. Among the asylum seekers leaving Sri Lanka are ethnic Tamils who survived a lengthy civil war between government troops and the now-defeated separatist Tamil Tiger rebels. Refugee advocates say Tamils still face violence by the military. "Some of these people will be handed straight back to danger," said Sarah Hanson-Young, immigration spokeswoman for the minor Greens party. 'Profound concern' Morrison said four of the asylum seekers on board were Tamils, and said none were at risk of persecution. "All were screened in terms of any potential protection obligation and none were found to be owed that protection," Morrison told Macquarie Radio. The initial reports of a handover last week prompted the United Nations Refugee Agency, UNHCR, to issue a statement expressing "profound concern" that Australia was processing asylum seekers at sea rather than bringing them ashore to assess their claims. "International law prescribes that no individual can be returned involuntarily to a country in which he or she has a well-founded fear of persecution," UNHCR said. Morrison, however, said Australia had complied with its legal obligations. Just one of the 41 people on board was assessed as possibly having a case for asylum, and was given the option of being transferred to Australia's detention camps in the South Pacific island nations of Nauru or Papua New Guinea for further processing, Morrison said. The asylum seeker opted instead to return to Sri Lanka. SOURCE: Al Jazeera and agencies Politics Afghanistan Australia Indonesia Iran

A few recent examples I found were from the new collections of Poltrona Frau, and the Spanish designer Jamie Hayon. I love their interpretation of a modern take on a traditional style.
These images show the resurgence of diamond buttoning as a decorative feature and as a method of attaching fabric to curved shapes, dating from the 1920's to 1950's. I particularly love the Edward Wormley slipper chairs and the headboard. Such timeless designs.

1920's leather settee from 1st Dibs
1940's silk headboard from 1st Dibs
Diamond buttoning as a motif has gained so much popularity that textiles and wallpaper designs have been produced with a faux-buttoning design, I'm guessing mainly as a buget option for a look that can be labour intensive, and therefore not cheap. I love the wallpaper. I saw a photo of it used in a very girly boutique in Sydney, and it looked fabulous.

The Adaptive Histogram EQ .8bf Plugin
Version 1.201, updated 6/5/2018
Histogram equalization attempts to evenly distribute values across an image's histogram. Unlike a simple levels adjustment, equalization tends to increase contrast in low-contrast areas, while doing the opposite in high-contrast areas. Adaptive equalization samples the pixels in separate regions of the image and applies equalization locally.
Equalization does not work with every image. A classic subject is a detailed sky with a balance of light and dark areas. Images with broad expanses of light or dark tend not to be good candidates. Especially in featureless areas, equalization may amplify the tiniest amount of noise, grain, or jpeg artifact. 16-bit uncompressed images work best. Note that the preview may be of lower quality than the processed image.
• The long dimension of the image is divided into the number of sections specified by the Regions control, and the rest of the image sectioned off accordingly. Each region is processed individually; more regions require more processing time. The choice of number of regions is completely subjective based on the amount and quality of detail in the image.
• The Amount setting controls the intensity of the effect. For dramatic contrast enhancement, try a high amount and a low number of regions. For fine detail enhancement, try the opposite. Several presets are provided as points of departure.
• In Normal mode, the plugin processes each RGB channel separately. The processed colors often have an unreal appearance but may still be interesting. Color controls how much of the processed color components are included in the final image. In Grayscale Only mode, the plugin processes a grayscale copy of the image, then combines it with the color components of the original image. This is similar, but not identical, to Normal mode with Color set to zero; sometimes the results of the latter are superior. However, the former runs faster. In Color Only mode, only the processed color components are used in the final image; the effect may range from a mild departure from reality to psychedelic.
• Vibrance preferentially increases the saturation of less-saturated areas of the image.
• Limit can prevent extreme contrast increases that turn featureless areas into a mass of noise, possibly at the expense of other desirable enhancement. It is actually disabled at its highest setting.
• Dark/Light Mixer works as follows: the central position (zero) displays the processed image; the far left is like Darken blend mode, and the far right is like Lighten.
• Use the Shadows/Highlights control to prevent contrast extremes by lightening shadows and darkening highlights. This is not as severe an issue as it is with some of the other filters, as hisogram equalzation tends to reduce the overall contrast. Press Show to show the masks, then select the desired tonal width and radius. Then hide the masks and adjust Lighten and Darken as needed.
• Raise the lower black slider in Blend Ranges to gradually fade the filter's effect in the shadows; lower the upper white slider to similarly fade the highlights.
• The white histogram (background) is the original image; the black one (foreground) is the processed image.
The plugin works with 8- or 16-bit RGB and grayscale images.
See Histogram equalization at Wikipedia for more information.
Improvements to version 1.2:
• detail level presets
• Shadow/Highlight masks are now an active Shadows/Highlights control
• blend ranges
• an improved progress bar
Improvements to version 1.201:
• reduced memory requirements; should run better on larger images, 10,000 pixels or more.
|A good example of sky enhancement.
|Alan Ross, Santa Fe. The effect was masked a little from the face and the dark background. Note the enhancement of textures throughout.
|More texture enhancement. Note how the shadows were raised while the background was simultaneously lowered. (In other words, the histogram was equalized.)
|The noise that arises from enhancing relatively featureless areas.

Meet Brooke Harrison (@brookeharrisonx on instagram). Brooke is a University student, one time blogger and sometime model. With a bombshell body and a brand new face Brooke currently sits in her private instagram churning out the perfect depictions of 'pretentious… dry humour' and we love it!Today we honor her as one of Jamaica's most influential people on the #KB100 list. Here we chat on the important things in life like free travel and Jamaican eats. This is not your typical stiff and stuffy interview about life ambitions, regrets and world peace. Click with my 'clique' on apocalypse, vogue calls and brain books below!
RASHADE:What 5 people would you choose to be a part of your post apocalyptic gang?
BROOKE: Wow, 5? Do I even know that many people? Just kidding (sort of)!! First of all, I'd have to take my boyfriend cause he can do all the strong guy stuff... My baby brother because he's cute and who's going to leave an 8 year-old behind? Ugh, I'm very family-oriented, so while I'd love to take some super saiyan alpha-humans, I just couldn't leave my parents and my dog Tobi..
RASHADE: Longboarder or Europe in the summer (EITS)?
BROOKE: This is a tough one, but i'll probably have to say EITS. Something about cozy cottages in the hills just makes me happy. EITS is all that, and even more.
RASHADE: Your phone rings and Vogue's on the phone what would they most likely be calling about?
BROOKE: You know what this brings me straight back to, right? Much Ado About Fashion, hahaha! Of course if Vogue ever called lil ol' me, they'd be asking me to write a piece in their latest issue about anything fashion-related, particularly from the POV of a pretentious young-adult with dry humour (Idk why… something about conveying that image is just so… natural… to me, hehehe). But maybe Anna would even want me to cover something homegrown, who knows?!
RASHADE: You have 1 week of free travel and accommodation for yourself +1. Take me through your first 3 days and who would you take and why?
BROOKE: When I travel I like to pretend I'm not actually a tourist. Tour guides, group tours… all of that stuff is boring to me. I always explore the city on my own, and immerse myself in the everyday people/culture of that place. So whoever I take would have to be up for that… I'd probably bring my old roommate Mapem! We would explore all the crevices of Vancouver together when I lived there - I miss that the most! And let's just say the first three days would probably involve some getting lost and hopping on the wrong bus/subway/train, till we get to know the place a little better! And of course eating A LOT of food! I'm thinking maybe we'd go to Thailand…
RASHADE: Your brain got turned into a book, would it be fiction or nonfiction? What would your (brain) book be called? And what is it about?
BROOKE: Definitely, without a doubt, indubitably (get the picture yet?), FICTION. It would probably follow a young girl's life starting from young adulthood. I've always loved Wes Anderson films, so the whole novel would have that vibe. The main character would pretty much be a black girl version (me) of Margot Tenenbaum. What it would be called? I don't think I could decide that so easily!

Sophomores 106, Rookies 96
Iguodala Shines as Sophs Top Rookies
HOUSTON, Feb. 17 (Ticker) - Andre Iguodala used the Rookie Challenge to get an early start on the Slam Dunk Contest.
Iguodala had a series of slams as he scored 24 of his 30 points in the second half, leading the Sophomores to an easy 106-96 victory over the Rookies as All-Star Weekend began Friday night.
After a quiet first half, Iguodala erupted with a flurry of dunks and 3-pointers as the Sophomores notched their fourth straight win. He made 13-of-17 shots - two of the misses were dunks - and was named MVP. Eight of the first 11 Rookie Challenge MVPs went on to play in at least one All-Star Game.
"A lot of great players have started out with this award, so hopefully the dream can continue," Iguodala said. In a sequence early in the second half, Iguodala had an alley-oop dunk, a 3-pointer and a breakaway rock-the-cradle dunk that gave the Sophomores a 61-48 lead.
Entered in Saturday's Slam Dunk Contest, Iguodala added a flying one-handed slam and a hammer jam off a lob off the backboard from Dallas guard Devin Harris to make it 69-53 with 14:06 to go.
Perhaps Iguodala's best dunk didn't count. A perimeter foul was called just as he began takeoff for through-the-legs one-hander that wowed the crowd at the Toyota Center.
"Tonight is different and (Saturday) I have a few things up my sleeve," said Iguodala, who scored 11 points as a rookie in this game last year. "Everything you saw today, you have seen before.
"When I am comfortable and am out there playing freely and confident like tonight, the sky is the limit," Iguodala said.
Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon scored 17 points and Boston Celtics guard Delonte West added 15 off the bench for the Sophomores, who shot 53 percent (46-of-87). "I thought Ben Gordon was going to get the MVP and I was actually looking forward to seeing him get it," Iguodala admitted. "I had no clue I would have this kind of chance this year. I just came here wanting to give us a chance to win the game."
Toronto Raptors forward Charlie Villanueva had 18 points and 12 rebounds and Houston Rockets guard Luther Head also scored 18 points for the Rookies, who shot 46 percent (39-of-85) but made just 7-of-26 3-pointers.
"It was a great night," Head said. "It's all about the fans, especially here in Houston. You know you have to give them something to cheer for." Gordon scored 12 points in a sloppy first half, helping the Sophs to a 52-45 lead. It was the lowest-scoring first half since the game went to 20-minute halves in 2001.

How much time do we have?
A saint, begging for alms, landed at the doorstep of a shop which looked very unkempt and asking for major repairs. Despite his poverty the poor shopkeeper warmly welcomed the saint and invited him to stay for the night at the shop keeper's residence which was close by. The Saint looked at the shop's condition and wondered what the shop keeper could offer him, after a bit of deliberation; decided to stay for the night.
The house was also in an equally bad shape and yet the shop keeper offered hot food, simple food freshly prepared, and treated the saint with great reverence; to the best of his abilities. The saint was pleased with the shop keeper's hospitality and wanted to do something, help the shop keeper in some way. And the shopkeeper also wistfully wished for a boon from the saint so that he could say good bye to his bad days.
Thus the next morning just before leaving the saint thanked the host for his benevolence and said, 'I am very pleased with your service and I really wish to do something fruitful for you. But I myself am so poor that I do not have anything to give you, so what do I offer you in return for your services?'
Shop keeper, 'My service to you was of my own accord sir; I could do with a boon or two to be able to get rid of my poverty though.'
The saint pulled out a small gold coin from his rag bag and handing it over to the shop keeper said, 'Okay, this is all I have. This is a magical coin. Any lead / iron substance brought in contact with this turns to Gold. I will come back after 3 months and retrieve my coin. Till then you use it and try to alleviate your poverty.'
The poor guy was overjoyed and profusely thanked the saint. He immediately set off to the largest iron foundry to test the gold coin and thus change his luck. He asked for the cost of a ton!
The price was Rs. 40/ton, the shop keeper felt the price to be beyond his reach and decided to come and check after a few days, maybe by then the price would have dipped. He came back a week later and to his dismay found that the price had further gone up and he again returned disappointed. This continued for a month and then second month also there was no change and the third month went by in the same pattern; the shop keeper was yet to use his magic coin.
On the completion of the appointed tenure the saint was again standing at the doorstep of the shop- keeper. But to his surprise he saw no betterment; rather a further dejected cloud was cast all over the shop. He walked down to the house to check the condition there and to his dismay the house also was further dilapidated and in need of urgent repairs. He began to worry thinking, 'My magic coin failed to help the poor guy! Did it not work?' and he called out to the shop keeper.
The shop keeper narrated the whole sequence of the last 3 months and thus his inability to use the coin or rather waiting for an opportune time to use the coin.
The saint put a hand to his head and said, 'It is destiny that you were not able to use the coin dear. You had 3 months time to change your luck, life and build a fortune for yourself. You did not give it a chance and continued to wait for a better opportunity at an unknown future date. Time and tide wait for no man, you knew I would reclaim the coin in 3 months, yet you failed to put it to good use. Sadly, I will be unable to extend the period for you and I need my coin back'.
Needless to say what the shop keeper felt and it was too late for his realization. Time had slipped through his fingers like grains of sand and he was left in position worse than before.
Opportunity knocks only once in the life of man, the life of a human being itself is a rare gift from God. Human life is given only to those elevated souls who have a craving to realize their true goal and wish to go back to their original abode! One never knows when 'Yama' The Lord of Death will come and whisk away the soul from your body, that moment is a mystery to everyone. Today or the present is all we have to learn to live a balanced life and walk towards our true goal, be prepared, fearless when death does come knocking because life's goal is accomplished and nothing is wanting still.
All the training and education we receive throughout our lives are to sharpen the mind and learn skills to earn more or progress financially. Unfortunately this is only one wing on which life is flying; the other wing is the spiritual wing which belongs to the soul, the seat of the Divine. Parmahamsa Ramakrishna used to say and Swami Vivekananda has often repeated, said "God gave us intelligence to fly high with both wings, to satisfy the goals of life, the material and the spiritual. Use the mind and see the Lord seated in your heart." It is a known fact that spiritually wealthy souls are wealthy materially too whereas wealthy souls are always craving for more wealth or die hankering, unhappy and poor.

You've seen this on Google result pages, right?
You wanna do that in your Rails app that runs with Mongrel? I show you how. Sit down. And along the way I'll show what I learned about writing custom Mongrel HttpHandlers and why you shouldn't store instance variable in them.
I remember seeing it there long ago when Google was new. I liked it because:
- Faster is better
- It shows Google focuses on helping me go fast
- It reminds the Google developers to focus on helping me go fast
So I'm developing this awesome web site now and I'm using Ruby on Rails with Mongrel. I wanted to pull a Google and show the server response time as text content in my pages, as a reminder to myself and my co-developer that it's super-important to keep things fast.
I can haz question
How do you put response time in a page using Rails?

That's not what he said.
Clearly, errors in translation between forms of intelligent life and lesser lifeforms are bound to be riddled with errors. Take, for example, the conversion of dog barks to English.
Dog: Bark bark woof bark bark
In English: Hi, my name is Sparky!
That's not a literal translation, it's just the best I can translate it given that he's a lower life form and what he really said was actually along the lines of "Sparky, Hello <unintelligible> I'm Dog!"
We see where translation errors come from, when taken into account different point of views often cause such errors, and there's a case I've seen with the Disco 'tute that is really beyond belief. Only click through if you're ready to have your IQ drop by about ten points. I'm not sure if my way of explaining can clear it up well enough to save your IQ points, so yeah…

The excessive dependence of the Middle Ages upon the past is part of that Golden Age complex which besets most civilizations, though medieval men carried it to an unusual degree. They believed that they were "little men in the twilight of the world" or "dwarves sitting on the shoulders of giants" (the ancients). Both the primitive Church and Augustan Rome loomed out of the mist of the past as towers of civilization from which society had fallen, no matter if the Augustan Romans saw themselves as degenerates from the time of Cato, who in turn bewailed the lost Saturnia regna. Had the medieval mind looked only backwards to Eden, medieval thought would have been primitivistic; it would have had no idea of progress. But the fact that the incarnation came after the fall, and the resurrection after the crucifixion, was productive of hope. Nonetheless, exaggerated respect for the past caused several medieval eccentricities, among them the curious practice of reverse plagiarism. A modern plagiarist takes the writings of a famous man and passes them off as his own; with greater modesty, a medieval writer was likely to gain an audience for his own writings by attaching to them the name of a great pope or Father. Their worship of the past checked originality, just as our own worship of everything new promotes superficiality. The use of the word "primitive" is instructive. To us it means crude and barbaric; but through the time of Samuel Johnson its connotation was favorable: the Good Old Days.
Month: April 2014
a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing
This is London. In a moment, you will hear the Prime Minister, Right Honorable Neville Chamberlain, speaking from Number10 Downing Street. His speech will be heard all over the Empire, throughout the continent of America, and in a large number of foreign countries. Mr Chamberlain:
To-morrow Parliament is going to meet, and I shall be making a full statement of the events which have led up to the present anxious and critical situation.
An earlier statement would not have been possible when I was flying backwards and forwards across Europe, and the position was changing from hour to hour. But to-day there is a lull for a brief time, and I want to say a few words to you, men and women of Britain and the Empire, and perhaps to others as well.
First of all I must say something to those who have written to my wife or myself in these last weeks to tell us of their gratitude for my efforts and to assure us of their prayers for my success. Most of these letters have come from women — mothers or sisters of our own countrymen. But there are countless others besides – from France, from Belgium, from Italy, and even from Germany, and it has been heartbreaking to read the growing anxiety they reveal and their intense relief when they thought, too soon, that the danger of war was past.
If I felt my responsibility heavy before, to read such letters has made it seem almost overwhelming. How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing. It seems still more impossible that a quarrel which has already been settled in principle should be the subject of war.
I can well understand the reasons why the Czech Government have felt unable to accept the terms which have been put before them in the German memorandum. Yet I believe after my talks with Herr Hitler that, if only time were allowed, it ought to be possible for the arrangements for transferring the territory that the Czech Government has agreed to give to Germany to be settled by agreement under conditions which would assure fair treatment to the population concerned.
You know already that I have done all that one man can do to compose this quarrel. After my visits to Germany I have realised vividly how Herr Hitler feels that he must champion other Germans, and his indignation that grievances have not been met before this. He told me privately, and last night he repeated publicly, that after this Sudeten German question is settled, that is the end of Germany's territorial claims in Europe.
After my first visit to Berchtesgaden I did get the assent of the Czech Government to proposals which gave the substance of what Herr Hitler wanted and I was taken completely by surprise when I got back to Germany and found that he insisted that the territory should be handed over to him immediately, and immediately occupied by German troops without previous arrangements for safeguarding the people within the territory who were not Germans, or did not want to join the German Reich.
I must say that I find this attitude unreasonable. If it arises out of any doubts that Herr Hitler feels about the intentions of the Czech Government to carry out their promises and hand over the territory, I have offered on part of the British Government to guarantee their words, and I am sure the value of our promise will not be underrated anywhere.
I shall not give up the hope of a peaceful solution, or abandon my efforts for peace, as long as any chance for peace remains. I would not hesitate to pay even a third visit to Germany if I thought it would do any good. But at this moment I see nothing further that I can usefully do in the way of mediation.
Meanwhile there are certain things we can and shall do at home. Volunteers are still wanted for air raid precautions, for fire brigade and police services, and for the Territorial units. I know that all of you, men and women alike, are ready to play your part in the defence of the country, and I ask you all to offer your services, if you have not already done so, to the local authorities, who will tell you if you are wanted and in what capacity.
Do not be alarmed if you hear of men being called up to man the anti-aircraft defences or ships. These are only precautionary measures such as a Government must take in times like this. But they do not necessarily mean that we have determined on war or that war is imminent.
However much we may sympathise with a small nation confronted by a big and powerful neighbour, we cannot in all circumstances undertake to involve the whole British Empire in war simply on her account. If we have to fight it must be on larger issues than that. I am myself a man of peace to the depths of my soul. Armed conflict between nations is a nightmare to me; but if I were convinced that any nation had made up its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force, I should feel that it must be resisted. Under such a domination life for people who believe in liberty would not be worth living; but war is a fearful thing, and we must be very clear, before we embark on it, that it is really the great issues that are at stake, and that the call to risk everything in their defence, when all the consequences are weighed, is irresistible.
For the present I ask you to wait as calmly as you can the events of the next few days. As long as war has not begun, there is always hope that it may be prevented, and you know that I am going to work for peace to the last moment. Good night.
Transcribed from BBC Archive, "Chamberlain Addresses the Nation on His Negotiations for Peace", 27 September 1938. See Neville Chamberlain, In Search of Peace: Speeches, 1937-1938, London, 1939, pp. 274-6.

The Blind AssassinBook - 2000
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Ugh. I rarely finish a book I don't enjoy, but Atwood strung me along all the way through with the pulp fantasy aspects. Kept hoping 'The Blind Assassin' narrative would take over the dreary biopic details of Iris and Laura. Can someone please tell me which Atwood novels to read if I love the Maddadam trilogy, or was Maddadam just her way of teasing readers with what she is capable of in realms of fantasy?
This is the book for those who appreciate descriptive writing and unpredictable plots. Word choice is flawless. Questions linger until the absolute end.
I was disappointed in the plodding pace of this book, it reminded me a lot of Alice Hoffman's family tree style of writing. Set in small town Ontario, maybe if you're from a place like that you might enjoy it, but it didn't live up to the "fascinating" reviews it has been given.
I found it confusing a first but once I figured out that the story was flipping back and forth in time I got into it! It really is a novel within a novel!
Awesome characters and an intriguing plot by Atwood.
It's a slow burn, but it's really worth sticking with this book to the end. I ended up loving it.
Absolutely my favorite book by Ms. Atwood.
This is going to sound flip, and I don't mean it to, but: you know the emoji with the heart eyes? That was me, the entire time I was reading this spectacular book. It's just as feminist as Atwood's other works like "The Handmaid's Tale", but in a different and more subtle way. It is a delicate balancing act of a book, featuring a story within a story within a story (phew!), as well as an intriguing puzzle at its heart. The further readers venture into the book, the more they realize that they don't know about the book, and they come to realize that key assumptions they made are wrong. It's a heartbreaking book, and the two women at its heart -- sisters Iris and Laura -- are not always likable. They lead hard lives in which awful things happen to them, and this is because they are women born into a society at a time when women were expected to be merely decorative objects and nothing more. And yet, the book is still not entirely bleak -- it's sad, and the ending isn't happy, but it feels too meaningful and insightful to be written off as merely a depressing read. The writing is beautiful -- there were passages I read multiple times, just to savor them -- and the characterization is so razor sharp and insightful that I half-expected the characters to leap off the page and into the real world and start speaking to me. It's an incredible, beautiful gem of a book, and it deserves the Booker Prize that it won, and every other word of praise that came its way. Reading this was one of the most moving reading experiences I've had all year. A difficult, challenging read -- but worth it, more so than I can possibly express. It's one of those books that makes you feel privileged, as a reader, to get to experience the joy of reading it. Lovely from start to finish.
Book Club 8/26/15
Somehow I always find my favorite books the hardest to write reviews on. I don't want to gush but there are no negatives to discuss.
The story isn't fast or action packed, it lets one woman tell the story of her life in a calm and ordinary way. Stories within stories create an interesting flavour to the tale. Retrospection and thoughtfulness rule the story while you slowly learn of her sister and parents and lover and husband.
I absolutely adored this book, from characters to setting and everything in between. Atwood has such a fabulous way with words that I want to savour all of them.

Welcome back Sebastian!
Digilife called me yesterday that they've recieved the parts, but I don't have time to bring it in till next week, I'm going away for a long weekend!
Ahhh, Captian Planet… he's my hero, gonna take pollution down to zero………
After two and a half weeks my MacBook, Sabastian, is finally back from the Apple service centre.
They replaced his heat-sink and installed the firmware update, and since his return he has not suffered from the dreaded random shutdown. Since both the firmware and the new heat-sink were installed at the same time I have no idea which one worked. A combined effort, Captain Planet style, seems to have fixed the problems that was causing the RSS and I am happy that I no longer have to go through the daily shutdown routine, wherein I would swear a lot and fear the successive start-up sound.
I would like to say thank you to everyone who emailed me concerned and who expressed their thoughts on the issue, and to those who commented about the firmware update, yes, I have known about the update since the day it came out, but it was impossible for me to to download and install the update as my MacBook was at the Apple service centre. I could have tried telepathy via wifi, but I doubt my brain is compatible and it's far too expensive to upgrade my brain.
Incidentally, I am now the in the top ten search result on Google for 'macbook RSS', this is a first for me, as I am normally in the top search results for a swear word or a shock site that I used in retaliation. The videos I uploaded to my YouTube account have also had far too many views for what they are, and one would think they were pterodactyl porn or such (I am so going to be a top search result for pterodactyl porn now).
I was telling my mother about it recently, how I blogged about the RSS that afflicted my Macbook and how I am now in the top Google search results for 'macbook rss', she turned to me with a concerned looked on her face and said "you can't get in trouble for that, can you?" I laughed, thinking she was being sarcastic and when she didn't reciprocate I questioned her reasoning, "what are apple going to do, sue me for saying they're products are faulty when they have acknowledged the fault?" I said, she replied with a poignant "yes." I was amused, "where did you learn about the law? Willy Wonka's school of Wacky Law?" I said sarcastically, "no McDonald's" she retorted and then mumbled "big companies… big money… sue people… little people".
Fight the man, mother. Fight the man.

Part one of this series discussed the why; part two introduced our "legacy" application and got its basic functionality hammered out with surprisingly little hoopla; now we can add a little somethin' extra to make it magical. ✨
Our latest deploy is missing some key features that were part of the spec:
- The "Reset" button doesn't work, and
- We're not saving the state of the modal anywhere locally so that it persists across page reloads.
So in Part Two, I lied: we're not turning this guy into a component just yet! Let's knock out the rest of our basic functionality first.
