Our mission is to provide a means for people to invest in the preservation of their most treasured memories and provide creative solutions for sharing those memories with the important people in their lives.
Our goal is to help people bring purpose to their photos and memorabilia by organizing and archiving their photo collections and showcasing their precious memories through beautiful photo books, photo slideshows, and more.
I'm Jan Akers, the founder of MOD Photo Solutions. I have always had a passion for working with photos and preserving memories. I'm the one at every family gathering or event with a camera in my hands. Not only do I love taking photos, but I love sharing them with others and telling the stories behind them. In the mid-90s, I started scrapbooking so that I could preserve my photos and memories. I loved it so much that I became a Creative Memories consultant so that I could share my passion with others and teach them to preserve their memories. As digital photography became more popular I began preserving memories in digital photo books and have been doing that for more than a decade now.
My family and friends have always told me that I should do this for a living, as it is something that I truly have a passion and talent for. After 18 years of working in the corporate world in Human Resources and Proposal Writing, I decided to follow my passion. I did some part-time photography work and eventually found a job with a local business where I worked for several years organizing clients' photo collections, digitizing photos and memorabilia, and designing custom photo books.
For years I dreamed of having my own business. In the process of researching how to make my dream a reality, I discovered and became a member of APPO, the Association of Personal Photo Organizers. APPO's members are individuals and small business owners who share in my passion for helping people bring purpose to their photos.
APPO provides education, training, and support to its members in all aspects of the growing profession of Personal Photo Organizing. As an APPO certified photo organizer, I am continuously gaining knowledge and training in the best practices of the industry so that I am equipped and ready to provide solutions for helping others manage and share their photo collections.
The most rewarding part of my experiences through the years has been getting to know people and hearing their stories. Knowing my client and the history of the photos I am working with allows me to tell their story through their photos, rather than just display their photos in a book. I feel this personal touch makes my services unique and provides a quality experience and product for my clients.
While my passion is for designing custom photo books, I offer a wide-range of photo management and organization services. The scope of services may range from simply scanning printed photos to organizing thousands of digital photos to taking on large projects that involve a life's-worth of photos. The variety of projects is one aspect that I love about this business. I am living my dream and loving it!
In naming my business, I wanted to tell people exactly what we do, which is provide solutions for their photos. So, Photo Solutions was a given. We organize memories and design photo books, therefore, MOD stands for Memories Organization and Design.
The camera in our logo represents captured memories and photos. The cloud and forms of technology represent how those memories can be organized and stored. And the book pages represent photo books and telling your stories.
We are dedicated to ensuring that you receive exceptional value for your investment by providing superior service and quality products. Our job is not done until you are completely satisfied... guaranteed!
Our goal is to help you bring PURPOSE to your photos.

Dutch cops choose Mercedes-Benz over VW for new vehicles following scandals
By Janene Pieters on May 25, 2017 - 13:55

Mercedes-Benz will provide the Dutch National Police with police cars and buses in the coming years, Automotive Management reports based on "well informed sources".
Mercedes beat a number of other car brands, including Opel, Mini, Peugeot and Volkskwagen, partly due to a number of problems and scandals in the previous tender with PON. The problems in the previous tender also resulted in the police no longer tendering for all cars - branded and undercover, vans, sedans etc. - at once, instead granting tenders in 'lots'. Mercedes Benz won the first two 'lots', though it is still subject to approval.
Mercedes will provide the police with 2,300 Mercedes B-class cars and 600 Vitos. VDL Bus in Venlo will convert the cars and Terberg Specials will convert the buses.

"A good book that will appeal to fans of young adult fantasy"
RT Book Reviews Reviewers' Choice Best Fantasy Novel nominee interviews
First book in my other fantasy series now available for pre-order
By admin in Books, Masks, Shadows, Song of the Sword
It's not a huge secret (see the link Other Novels–not to mention the Publishers Weekly review of Masks) that E.C. Blake is not the only name under which I write, and under that other name (Edward Willett) I also have a fantasy series about to get underway.
The Shards of Excalibur is a five-book YA urban fantasy series about Ariane Forsythe, 15-year-old girl in Regina, Saskatchewan (my home town!), who discovers she is the heir to the powers of the Lady of the Lake of Arthurian legend, and with the help of her slightly younger friend Wally Knight must race to find all of the shards of the sword Excalibur scattered around the world before Merlin, in his modern-day guise as computer magnate Rex Major, can gather them, reforge them, and use the sword to launch a war between Earth and Faerie.
The series is being published by Coteau Books here in Regina. The first book, Song of the Sword, will be released in May (right in the middle of the long drought between Masks and Shadows!).
No cover art to share, though it's coming soon (and it's great!), but the book is already available for pre-order on Amazon.
I hope you'll check it out when it's released! The Masks of Aygrima books are coming out at eight-month intervals, but the Shards of Excalibur books are coming out at six-month intervals: two of those next year, plus Shadows, plus a science fiction novel for Bundoran Press (sequel to my novel Right to Know which came out last year), means that 2014 will be (at least!) a four-novel year for me.
Guess I'd better get writing…

Average gas prices bounced up nearly three cents per gallon along the East Coast of the United States during the past week, according to this week's fuel survey by the Energy Information Administration. Some states along the Lower Atlantic states saw only two cent, per average, increase. Drivers living in the Midwest and particularly the Rocky Mountain states saw they fill-up costs leap by as much as 10-cents per gallon, on average. The EIA weekly survey results were released January 28, 2013.
The overall rise in fuel prices across the the United States comes on the heels of a spike in crude oil prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange late last week. Energy companies generally adjust the prices charged for refined fuels to offset an anticipated rise in crude, even when the delivery dates for crude oil are two and three months away.
The cost of diesel did not rise as much as regular gasoline during the past week; however, diesel still increased by an average of three cents per gallon, following a larger spike in prices last week. The continued increase in diesel costs will continue affecting the trucking industry, particularly smaller fleets and independent operators.
Gasoline prices marked a solid decline over the past week, but those drivers enjoying the biggest declines were only to be found on the East Coast and Gulf Coast states. Drivers in the Rocky Mountain States and particularly in the Midwest saw a sharp spike in gas prices, according to the weekly gas price survey from the Energy Information Administration.
The survey showed declines in regular gasoline prices across all regions if the East Coast, which includes New England and the Atlantic states. New England states saw the smallest decline, while states across the lower Atlantic enjoyed a decline of more than 3¢ per gallon.
Conversely, Midwestern drivers found fuel prices surging by upwards of 7¢ per gallon. It was the sharpest increase in fuel prices seen for the Midwest since last August, prices even surpassed last summer's average price per gallon across the Midwest. However, prices in states from the Dakotas to Ohio remained below the national average.
Meanwhile, for truckers and other drivers of diesel-fueled vehicles, prices in diesel fuel rose across nearly every region of the United States, while remaining nearly flat across New England and the Central Atlantic states. Overall, Diesel fuel prices remain anywhere from 6¢ to 11¢ per gallon higher than this time last year, except in the Rocky Mountain and West Coast states, where prices year over year have fallen.
Construction workers are laying foundations for new light poles along the shoulder of Ohio's Turnpike, in Lorain County. As a result, the emergency lanes will be closed for about a half-mile stretch of Ohio's Turnpike, between mile marker 142 and mile marker 143, until Friday, January 10. The closure will affect the eastbound lanes only.
The closures could potentially slow exit traffic approaching the I-80 / I-90 Junction, particularly during peak travel times.
Gas prices at most stations along the east coast of the U.S. increased between 2¢ and 5¢ per gallon for the week ending January 6, 2013, according to the latest survey from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Gas prices in the Lower Atlantic states and along the Gulf Coasts increased between 5¢ and 6¢ per gallon.
However, diesel fuel prices largely bucked the trend of increasing gas prices, except in the Central Atlantic states, where prices went up by about 2-cents.
The EIA is a branch of the U.S. Department of Energy, and they conduct their survey each week, releasing the figures they have gathered every Monday.
Download the current survey report.
The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway, which is I-90 west of Chicago, will continue to see emergency lane closures between IL 47 (State Road 47) and Powers Road, and from Powers to Sandalwood. The shoulders for eastbound and westbound traffic will be affected through the end of March, as they have been since the start of the Summer Travel Season in 2012.
The lane closures are part of an Illinois Tollway construction project to add a new interchange at the IL 47 junction, which will help traffic flow for traffic around Elgin, West Dundee and the Whisper Creek Golf Club.
All travel lanes will be open during the construction period, which ends March 31. However, some intermittent lane closures are possible as unexpected construction issues arise.

Bat for Lashes and TOY Team Up for New Band Sexwitch
Bat for Lashes' game of hangman is complete and the details of the mystery have been unveiled, as the singer-songwriter known as Natasha Khan has launched a new band called Sexwitch.
Khan had been rolling out a letter per day for the last eight days, eventually revealing the word "Sexwitch." This project, which also features members of the British psych-rock band TOY, made their live debut today (August 22) at the Green Man Festival in Wales.
It seems that Sexwitch is heavier and more intense than the tuneful electronic pop that Khan has made as Bat for Lashes. A report from Pitchfork called it "The most violent and exhilarating music Khan has ever been part of. The band pushed desert drones into raging storms, in tones drawn from twentieth century Afghan, Persian, Moroccan, and Thai music."
The set included "The Bride," a song by Iranian musician Amir Rassaei that Khan and TOY recorded back in 2013. It's unclear what Sexwitch's plans are, but Khan tagged producer Dan Carey in her social media post about the band, so it seems possible that recordings are in the works.
A short clip of Sexwitch's music can be heard in the Instagram post below. "The Bride" is also below.
[email protected] we will be appearing live on the FAR OUT STAGE stage TONIGHT at 7pm. Can't wait to see you! #SEXWITCH #TOY #DANCAREY

Історія корабля
Замовлений в рамках суднобудівної програми на 1882—1902 рр. Спочатку передбачалося будувати в Балтиці, а потім своїм ходом — на Чорне море. Однак, через великі дипломатичні труднощі пов'язані з проводкою кораблів через протоку Босфор і Дарданелли, Морське відомство передало замовлення Південним заводам. Відповідно до контракту будувався за кресленнями 350 тонного міноносця класу «Буйний». У відмінності від прототипу, приміщення для офіцерів перепланували на окремі каюти, винесли на верхню палубу камбуз, розширили ходовий місток, встановили грот-щоглу, прибрали носовий мінний (торпедний) апарат, боєзапас торпед зменшили до 4-х і вже в процесі будови, калібр торпедних апаратів збільшили до 457 мм.

22 березня 1902 року зарахований до списків суден Чорноморського флоту, в 1902 році закладено на елінг Миколаївського Адміралтейства в Миколаєві, спущений на воду в травні 1904 року, став до строю в березні 1905 року.

29 грудня 1917 року увійшов до складу Червоного Чорноморського флоту. У березні 1918 року поставлений на капітальний ремонт в майстерні Севастопольського військового порту, де 1 травня 1918 року був захоплений німецькими військами і в липні 1918 року, під літерою «R 11», включений до складу Військово-морських сил Німеччини на Чорному морі, але до строю не вводився.

It's been an unrelenting week at work. The time change is not helping matters - not that I'm one of those who can't adjust, but it's true: dogs do not believe in daylight saving time.
Still, walks on either side of work are done in cloak of darkness, which can make picture taking challenging. And last week was all about the rain, so not even weekend outing images.
But I must persevere in the name of my readers. You're welcome. I think.
At least he's cute about it.
Trying a bowl to slow down his scarfing of fud.
It's working and he seems to enjoy the challenge. Probably takes him 10x longer.
Soph is a trooper for taking a tail in the face a few times per week.
The guy is a jumper.
When we first got him and he was on this wall, I'd pick him up and gently place him on the grounds so he wouldn't get hurt. He's all about the jumping up....and down.
At the risk of sounding really, really sappy, that pooch always makes my heart chirp!
Seeing him together with Sophie in the same shot always gives me an extra buzz.
If you wouldn't mind, I would really appreciate it if you would consider my blog, emilysvirtualrocket.blogspot.com Aside from a critique of Mr. Trump which takes place daily, the main part consists of daily life for transgender folks. And, once in awhile, I write poetry! I hope you enjoy it.

Joseph E. Johnson is on trial impregnating one of Apostle Lorenzo Snow's plural wives. A Church court in Kanesville, Iowa, had already decided that "his priesthood was required to be laid down [i.e., he was disfellowshipped] until he came here" to Salt Lake City. Johnson said "I never heard any conversation to say it was right to go to bed with a woman if not found out--I was aware the thing [with Mrs. Snow] was wrong." He told the court "He was familiar with the first frigging -- that was done in his house with his mother in law [Mary Heron Snyder (Snider)] -- by Joseph [Smith]." He added " I knew at the time I was doing wrong [with Mrs. Snow] -- I never av [have] taken any body as a[n] excuse -- I never plighted my faith on Joseph's transactions."
In 1850 Joseph E. Johnson was not an uninformed novice about Joseph Smith's polygamy a decade earlier. Two of his sisters (Delcena in 1842, then Almera in 1843) married the Prophet, who also performed the polygamous marriage for their brother Benjamin F. Johnson, after which Joseph Smith unsuccessfully asked to marry yet another of the Johnson family's daughters in the spring of 1843 (16-year-old Esther).

The Tartankiwi: KCWC- Day 5- It worked!!!
KCWC- Day 5- It worked!!!
I'm feeling just a little bit proud of myself today!
Just look at Scallywag's new dungarees!!!
My alterations to the pattern worked!!!
I LOVE them, (and so does he).
They are fairly roomy, but that means that there is enough room to add extra layers when it gets colder. The only thing that I regret is that I was slightly too enthusiastic when I was chopping off the excess fabric at the bottom. I would've preferred for them to be long enough to have cute little turn ups. That said, there is plenty of room to move the buttons on the straps, so these should definitely last the winter.
Its perhaps difficult to tell from the photos but the fabric is beautiful rust coloured thick corduroy. Maybe not a traditional boys colour, but I have to say that it looks amazing on my wee blondie!
Love the little details- such as fishy buttons!
They look fantastic. I think rust is a great choice for boys!
I love the colour and how the dungarees fits on your little boy! What an amazing week you´ve been sewing!!
these look adorable, what a fantastic job you did! i think boys in red are cute.
today i ordered my "pretty birds" jewelry that i won at your giveaway... so excited!
You've done a fabulous job!!! The rust colour looks great and I LOVE the corduroy fabric with the contrasting fabric. Cute, little covered buttons, too.

You asked: Is there daylight savings in Brisbane?
Why doesn't Brisbane have Daylight Savings?
Is Qld daylight savings 2021?
Will Queensland ever get Daylight Savings?
Does Brisbane have two time zones?
When did Queensland stop daylight saving?
When did Qld get rid of daylight savings?
Do the clocks go back in October 2021?
Do clocks go forward or back in April?
Are clocks going forward or back?
Is Sydney 1 hour ahead of Brisbane?
Why is Queensland an hour behind NSW?
Will Australia scrap Daylight Savings?
Is Brisbane safe at night?
Is Brisbane an hour behind Sydney?
Australia currently observes 6 time zones all year. DST is no longer in use. Clocks do not change in Brisbane, Australia. The previous DST change in Australia was on March 1, 1992.
In summary, Day Light savings is not designed for tropical regions like Far North Queensland. That is why they don't have it. Polls have repeatedly shown that the majority of Queenslanders outside the south-east corner do not want daylight saving.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) Not Observed in Year 2021
Clocks do not change in Queensland. The previous DST change in Queensland was on March 1, 1992.
The three remaining states and territories, Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia, don't observe daylight savings.
How many time zones are there in Australia? Australia is divided into three separate time zones: Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), Australian Central Standard Time (ACST), and Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).
FASCINATINGLY: Question: Should I move Brisbane or Gold Coast?
Daylight saving time was trialled in the state of Queensland, Australia, during the 1989/90 season, with the trial extended for a further two years—1990/91 and 1991/92. The last full day of daylight saving in Queensland was Saturday 29 February 1992, with clocks officially wound back an hour on Sunday 1 March at 3am.
Queensland abandoned daylight saving in 1972. Queensland and Western Australia have observed daylight saving over the past 40 years from time to time on a trial basis.
Nov 7, 2021 – Daylight Saving Time Ended
Also called Fall Back and Winter Time.
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2am on the first Sunday in October when clocks are put forward one hour. Daylight Saving Time ends at 2am (3am Daylight Saving Time) on the first Sunday in April when clocks are put back one hour.
In the USA the clocks go forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November, but not all states change their clocks.
Time in Sydney vs Brisbane
Sydney is 1 hour ahead of Brisbane. If you are in Sydney, the most convenient time to accommodate all parties is between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm for a conference call or meeting. In Brisbane, this will be a usual working time of between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.
FASCINATINGLY: Quick Answer: How many days is 30 degrees in Melbourne?
The differing time zones is due to the size of our land mass. … Queensland recognises Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), but New South Wales (except Broken Hill), Victoria, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory recognise Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT).
This Sunday, 3 October 2021, clocks go forward in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT, effectively eliminating the hour between 1am and 2am. Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory do not engage in the fantasy of clock-shifting, and time remains constant in these regions.
Brisbane is a safe and vibrant 24-hour city but in any big city, crime does happen. … The safety of all residents and visitors is paramount to the QPS.
Brisbane is 1 hour behind of Sydney. If you are in Brisbane, the most convenient time to accommodate all parties is between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm for a conference call or meeting.

Very wrinkly,, Foam in comforter melted in the dryer, Pillow slips tore at the seams..etc Called Groupon and they didn't do anything..
It's very pretty, looks very elegant. Definitely going to buy another one but different colors.
I was hoping the quality would be better than it is. The button on the pillow is barely attached, the pillow is very small, and the material for everything is very scratchy. I am using only the bedskirt and comforter because of the scratchiness. \nI do like the color and pattern, though.
It's cheap several snags, I thought the quality would be much better. I'm disappointed to say the least.
Let me what is the procedure to return it back. The quality and the Color shown is very dull.
I ordered this comforter and just love it, it is beautiful.

The budget deficit: Cocktail-bar calculations
http://www.economist.com/World/na/PrinterFriendly.cfm?Story_ID=4299097
Are George Bush's tax cuts paying for themselves?
[4]Get article background
NOT many economists find fame in a cocktail lounge. But it was in just
such a venue that Arthur Laffer in 1974 drew the "Laffer curve" on the
back of a convenient napkin. The sketch, still more popular with
politicians than economists, illustrated how lower tax rates, by
spurring growth, might leave tax revenues undiminished. Tax cuts might
pay for themselves.
None of the weighty studies produced by the Congressional Budget
Office (CBO) would fit on the back of a napkin. But the latest
projections from the legislature's non-partisan budget-watcher have
excited a few of Mr Laffer's fans. The federal budget deficit, the CBO
reckons, will narrow to $331 billion this fiscal year (which ends on
September 30th), from $412 billion the year before. Tom DeLay, the
Republican majority leader in the House of Representatives, was quick
to offer a Laffer-like explanation: "Lower taxes and spending
discipline spur economic growth, which in turn cuts the deficit," he
opined.
In fact, spending discipline is still rather lacking. Government
outlays will increase by $181 billion (or 8%) this year, a figure that
does not include the cost of the pork-stuffed highway bill, signed by
the president on August 10th. The fall in the deficit owes rather more
to the other side of the ledger: tax revenues are set to grow by $262
billion, or 14% this year. They will increase as a share of GDP for
the first time under this tax-cutting president.
Income taxes withheld from pay cheques account for some of the new
revenues, but many of the gains are in more exotic areas. The
government's take from such things as capital gains, payouts from
pension funds, and "sole proprietorships" (one-man companies) should
increase by 28% this year, the CBO reckons. Corporations are also
making a strikingly handsome contribution to the state's coffers,
paying $80 billion (or fully 42%) more than the year before. A third
of this bounty seems to be due to the demise of a corporate tax break,
which allowed firms to deduct up to half their investment costs from
their taxable profits last year. But some $53 billion of it caught the
CBO unawares, and remains unexplained.
Is Mr DeLay right to attribute any of these gains to the seductive
curves of supply-side economics? In December, Gregory Mankiw, who used
to be chairman of Mr Bush's Council of Economic Advisers, and Matthew
Weinzierl, a colleague at Harvard University, published a
"back-of-the-envelope guide" to tax rates and revenues. Given the
relatively low tax rates prevailing in America, they thought that tax
cuts could not be entirely self-financing. But by their reckoning
cutting taxes on labour would generate enough growth to recoup about
17 cents on the dollar, and a tax cut on capital could pay for more
than half of itself. The government would take a thinner slice of a
bigger pie.
Left out of these calculations is any guide to what happens when taxes
are cut but spending is not. The budget deficits that ensue will tend
to "crowd out" investment, slowing growth. The CBO calculates that
every extra dollar of federal borrowing reduces investment in the
economy by 36 cents.
The White House, according to its latest forecast in July, now expects
to leave a deficit of $162 billion by the time the president leaves
office in 2009. But it assumes (absurdly) that Congress will not add a
single dollar to its discretionary spending on anything except defence
and homeland security from 2006 to 2010. It also leaves out of its
projections any extra money for Iraq, Afghanistan or the war on
The CBO makes the opposite assumption. It assumes that by 2009, all of
these missions will remain far from accomplished, costing the American
taxpayer the same amount, in real terms, as they do today. Partly as a
result, the CBO shows Mr Bush bequeathing a deficit of $321 billion to
his successor.
Though the CBO's outlook is substantially worse than the White House's
over a five-year horizon, it improves dramatically over ten years.
This is not because of some long-run Laffer curve; but because the CBO
assumes that Mr Bush's tax cuts will expire, as scheduled (the bulk of
them in December 2010). That looks extremely unlikely: no politician
would allow it and Mr Bush is already trying to make them permanent.
If that happens, it would add $349 billion to the deficit in 2015,
plus an extra $83 billion in debt service costs.
The CBO's job, says Douglas Holtz-Eakin, its director, is to forecast
the economy and the budget, not Congress. It is required by law to
assume that Congress will carry on doing what it currently does,
adjusted only for inflation. "Everything we have presented today is
going to be wrong," he confidently predicted as he unveiled his
report. The same, of course, could be said of Mr Bush's projections.

Reconstruction (United States : 1865-1877)
"A profound new rendering of the struggle by African-Americans for equality after the Civil War and the violent counter-revolution that resubjugated them, as seen through the prism of the war of images and ideas that have left an enduring racist stain on the American mind. The abolition of slavery in the aftermath of the Civil War is a familiar story, as is the civil rights revolution that transformed the nation after World War II. But the century in between remains a mystery: if emancipation sparked 'a new birth of freedom' in Lincoln's America, why was it necessary to march in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s America? In this new book, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., one of our leading chroniclers of the African-American experience, seeks to answer that question in a history that moves from the Reconstruction Era to the 'nadir' of the African-American experience under Jim Crow, through to World War I and the Harlem Renaissance. Through his close reading of the visual culture of this tragic era, Gates reveals the many faces of Jim Crow and how, together, they reinforced a stark color line between white and black Americans. Bringing a lifetime of wisdom to bear as a scholar, filmmaker, and public intellectual, Gates uncovers the roots of structural racism in our own time, while showing how African Americans after slavery combatted it by articulating a vision of a "New Negro" to force the nation to recognize their humanity and unique contributions to America as it hurtled toward the modern age. The book will be accompanied by a new PBS documentary series on the same topic, with full promotional support from PBS"--

Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson) and Epson Singapore Pte. Ltd. recently announced the opening of its new sales subsidiary and office in Vietnam.
The new subsidiary, Epson Vietnam Co., Ltd. (EVNL), began its operations last April 1 and was officially launched at Hotel Nikko Saigon in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Hideto Nakamura, general director of Epson Vietnam, said that prior to its establishment, Epson had previously sold products through its sales subsidiary in Thailand. In 2010, it established a Vietnam representative office focused on market research.
In 2017, Epson recorded a high demand for its products in Vietnam. According to the latest IDC Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker report, Epson's market shares for high-capacity ink tank printers for the Q4 last year stood at 53 percent.
"Vietnam's printer market is currently dominated by laser printers. However, there is extensive scope for growing sales by emphasizing the advantages of our high-capacity ink tank printers. Epson Vietnam will play an important role in developing this promising market," Nakamura added.
As a market leader, Epson will continue offering unique value and solutions to its customers in the said region through the new Epson Vietnam office. It is located at Nguyen Trai Street, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
& chief operating officer, Printing Solutions Operations Division; and (1st from right) Tanaka Toshimitsu, managing director, Epson Singapore.

Alcohol Is Writing For Me
Photo by THE COLLAB. on Pexels.com
And why not? It has for many before me. And I want to know what's the problem with the unicorn in the background here.
Fiona & Archer are now 8. She gave Rom a "note from the Cersive {sp} Fairy–I can write cersive!" and signed her name. Rom said the fairy hadn't spelled "cursive" correctly, and Fiona said, "Well, she's only 5!" She then admitted that there is, in fact, no cursive fairy. I see a career in politics in her future. Archer somehow managed to restrain himself from questioning belief in said fairy. If he had done so, it would have been in a sentence beginning, "Actually…"
ANOTHER DAY, NO ALCOHOL THIS TIME
See, I'm versatile.
My brother-in-law told me a story that reminded me of the old days of talking to the reality-challenged on 911. A neighbor in his apartment building came to him and informed him that:
The out-of-state license plates on the apartment building's lot belonged to people who were here to spy on him,
These people hacked into his mother's phone in an attempt to get at him,
What appear to be stars in the sky are actually drones spying on him.
He must be very important indeed.
COMING UP ON THEATER OF CRUELTY
Well, eventually. An account of Nick at the Fall Festival, although he's now claiming he will attempt to avoid me. Probably because I've avoided posting about him at the festival a couple of previous years. And also because I had the barbs removed from his tail.
CAMPAIGN UPDATE
Vote for me! I know no one in foreign countries, so I can't sell out the U.S. for political gain! Although, if I did, I would echo the guy I overheard at McDonald's who said, "That whistleblower is the one they should go after!"
Also vote for me if you're tired of politicians waving their arms around.
MY TRUE SUPERPOWER
On Friday the 13th Eve this month (namely, Thursday the 12th), I had finished my lunch at McD's and took my tray to the trash can. Having dumped it, I turned and somehow got my foot caught in the legs of a baby chair, which somehow pulled my foot out from under me, and I fell–luckily on a well-padded area (of me, not the floor, although maybe the floor should be padded).. Sure, the baby chairs were lined up neatly against the wall, but hey, they were gray and the wall was brown, so…I was amused to note the following day that they'd put a yellow CAUTION cone next to them. The following day, it had been removed. How soon we forget.
I clicked on frequently-used words to tag this post with. I wanted "politics," but they kept giving me "apologies" instead. Hmm.
Nick Gets a Tune-up
Photo by Jimmy Chan on Pexels.com
I got a letter today from the Police Department addressed to "Handler of Beast #1307." "Don't they know I'm retired?" I grumbled.
"It has come to our attention that the said beast still bears the official colors of the Police Department. Since this animal has been decommissioned, we request that you remove said colors."
I called Nick in from the kitchen, where he was stealing cat food.
"Do you know anything about this?"
"About what?! You know I can't read. Well, read well. I can't read well." He turned his undeniably navy-blue back on me.
"You're not supposed to have police coloration anymore. People might get confused and expect you to do police work."
"Well, suppose I just refuse to do it, and we'll see how that goes."
"I am responsible for you, and–why have you been scratching so much?"
"Dunno. Allergic to responsibility, probably."
"No, it's just that one spot. Let me see–"
"Can't I even itch in peace?!"
One of his scales was slightly raised. I pried up as much as I dared. "Just what I thought. You've got a tick under there." His armor-plating repels most pests, but makes them hard to remove if they do burrow in. "You're going to the vet."
"We are, you mean. I'm not going there alone."
"Of course not. You can't pay the bill."
Since we can't use the Police Department vet anymore, I took him to my own, who was impressed to behold him.
"We don't see many of these. This is a fine specimen." Nick preened. "Have you bred him?"
"Well, he…he sort of breeds himself." Nick preened even more.
"Yes, since they mate for life, initial mate selection is extremely important. So what seems to be the problem?" I pointed the bad spot out.
"Ah, yes. I can remove that. It should cause minimal discomfort–
Nick immediately became agitated. "Then why mention the possibility?"
"–but of course he'll have to be sedated."
"No, I'm not going to let you–" Nick began, but I immediately grabbed him by the ears. It's a risky move, since I have to bypass the terrible teeth, but his ears are sensitive, and it makes him disinclined to struggle further.
The vet started preparing the injection. "He's going to stick a needle in me!" Nick said, sounding uncharacteristically squeaky.
"Don't move or I'll rip your ears off," I murmured, so the vet couldn't hear. "Don't think I won't."
"You'll do nothing of the kind," he answered between his teeth, likewise under his breath. These pleasantries kept us occupied until the vet could slide the needle beneath a scale on his throat, and we both eased him down as he collapsed.
It was short work for the vet to remove the affected scale, pry the tick out, daub the wound with ointment, and reattach the scale. Since Nick was still snoring–OK, more like gentle hissing–the vet said, "I assume you want me to readjust his colors?"
"Can you do that?"
"Oh, yes. It's actually a simple procedure, but you need the right tools. Then he'll revert to his original color."
"Which is…?"
He shrugged. "We'll just have to find out."
The "special tool" appeared to be a simple pair of pliers. The vet began tugging on the barbs at the end of Nick's tail.
"Are you actually going to pull those spines out?"
"Oh, yes. It's just a minor adjustment. They're mostly decorative, anyway."
He pulled–hard–causing the patient to whimper in his sleep. I stroked his ear soothingly, and he quieted. Some half-dozen spines were removed in this way.
"Now, we wait…" the vet said. So we did, until the dark blue slowly faded, and became the dull green of one of those army-green grasshoppers.
Nick started to stir. "Why is my tail sore–What?!" He looked at himself with dismay, then turned to me. "You planted that tick on me so you could get me in here to do this. I just know it."
"No, the tick was there before I got the letter, remember?"
"And good thing it's only a tick," the vet said. "Sometimes they get infested with weevils, and then their scales fall off."
"You know," Nick said musingly, "I think I like this green better anyway."
The Rage for Incremental Change
I am tired of the above guy and his smirk, but there's a paucity of photos available when you type in "army backpack" (mostly boring people hiking), so you'll just have to put up with him.
THE STUFF YOU SEE ON THE BUS
…which is beginning to be what this blog seems to be about, but AT ANY RATE….
There was a guy in front of me on the bus whose giant army backpack (camo, bedroll on the top, aluminum pots and pans clattering on the sides) bore a patch that said:
"U.S. SPECIAL FORCES
TERRORIST HUNTING PERMIT NO. 911-01–T.M.
NO BAG LIMIT, TAGGING NOT NECESSARY
Let's just analyze this, because that's what we do.
I bet every one of these patches sold said "Permit # 911-01." Because, 9/11, September 11, 2001, get it?
So it expires in 2050? Good thing we got that terrorist thing knocked down by then.
Oddly, I felt not safer because this guy was on the bus, but less safe.
The fact that it said T.M. (trademark) led me to believe this was not, in fact, actual Army issue, a fact my actual Army source confirmed by his disdain.
My thanks, as always, to the people who keep checking to see if I'm still posting. Am I? It's so hard to tell. (I hear Rom's voice saying, "You have an obligation to your readers.")
Oh, and the title is Stephen Colbert's comment on the moderate Democratic candidates. VOTE FOR ME, I'M NON-THREATENING! Right, Nick? "I thought you were going to write a story about me," he says pitifully.
P.S. I am eagerly awaiting the appearance of pumpkin pie at McDonald's. It can't be long now! McDonald's–another thing I share with Trump.
Tyranny, Mutation, and Stuff

The above picture was chosen for its superficial resemblance to the cover of a favorite Blue Oyster Cult album, Tyranny and Mutation.
And speaking of which, let's add to the Radical Centrist Manifesto:
–You are not entitled to free healthcare.
–You are, however, entitled to affordable healthcare.
"Radical Centrism–Our Motto: 'See How Easy That Was?'"
VOTE FOR ME! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, BUT NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE!
SOCIAL PAGE: PARTY AT NICK'S PLACE
Nick had a birthday party for his two youngest cubs, who turned six and one respectively, on adjacent days. It featured the usual elements:
–Me Bringing My Own medication, a can of which will make me actually engage in conversation eventually,
–two palatial inflatable structures, with your choice of Water or Not
–a child getting on top of one structure, endangering his companions within
–a small child refusing to get out of the bottom of the water slide, annoying his companions at the top who now can't slide down
–Nick engaging in reckless adrenaline-fueled activity in spite of a recent injury
–me going inside to decompress, only to be cornered by a dog and a small child
–adults discussing whatever surgery they've recently received
–Nick and his mate wrestling on the ground, trying to smear cake on each other. I was told this courtship ritual occurs at every birthday party, but I had not been privileged to see it previously. Actually, I didn't see it this time, either, since the table was in the way. I only witnessed the combatants arising, duly covered with cake. I think Nick ended up taking several showers that day, for one reason or another.
–Cheetos! And cake, which I cut the frosting off of. I ate too much of both. But it was my first meal of the day, after all.
Speaking of Cheetos (that should have been my post title right there), I've noticed a cultural oddity: In my youth, the standard Cheeto type was those puffy styrofoam-like cylinders. Then they introduced an option: "Baked to a delicate crunch, or quick-fried to a crackly crunch!" (Or "indelicate crunch," if you will.) It took a long time for the latter to catch on–my preference for them was considered a bit eccentric–but now they are the default Cheeto. (Disclaimer: My market research for this consists mainly in noting which kind is the standard-issue at Subway, which may not be a representative sampling, but probably is.)
Good thing I didn't become a college professor (which I considered becoming until my Great American Novel was published), or the world would have been treated to "Cultural Shifts in Cheeto Consumption Over Time." Publish or perish!
Impossible Advertising
–"Coors Light–the official beer of drinking in the shower." At bottom of screen depicting this–"Do Not Attempt."
On base of scented candle–"Do not breathe candle fumes."
On educational TV show: "Archaeology has only discovered 10% of civilizations." Rom: "How can they know that?"
I did not whine in a timely manner about Halloween candy appearing on the shelves at CVS, but it's there, and has been for about a week.
Someday I hope to discover which employee at Walgreen's drives a black Cadillac, since it's on the lot every day.
GOD SAVE US FROM THEOLOGY ON THE BUS
I have reached a stage in life where I can't be sure, if a guy lets me get on the bus ahead of him, if it's because I'm a woman or because I have some gray hair (although I got my first gray hair when I was 27). But I can be sure if it's a man my own age. He was wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt. Because it's m-m-my generation. (Apologies to both bands.)
A woman got on who works at Taco Bell on Lloyd, and started telling the bus driver and her friend about this weird sect she'd just heard of, who believe only 130,000 people will be saved. (It's actually 144,000–it's from Revelation, the 12 tribes of Israel times twelve, BUT WE WON'T GET INTO THAT HERE). She said, "I'm Christian myself, but I'm Catholic." When she got off the bus, she said she was going to pray for the two women she'd been talking to, and the bus driver's friend said, "Don't pray for me–I know who you'll be praying to!" The Taco Bell lady got off the bus, and the bus driver's friend said, "She'll be praying to the wrong person!" The bus driver said, "Yes. That is idolatry." For the record, Catholics do not, in fact, pray to the devil.
I went to get stamps, and intended to get T. Rex stamps in honor of Trexa, but they had none, so I had to settle for dragon stamps, in dubious honor of Nick.
Making the World a Better Place
Photo by Micael Widell on Pexels.com
…one bus stop at a time. And I hope I never get stuck at the bus stop in this picture. It looks like a criminal mastermind stuck it out in the creepy woods, but when you sit down, it whisks you away to their arctic headquarters. Or something. It's just too new for such a remote area, you know? Plus that creepy blue light. And is that snow or rocks piled up by the side of the road? WELL?
Anyway, I have made it my mission (and a modest one it is) to clean up any trash I find at the bus stop near my house. Especially since this only involves taking it across the $ General lot and throwing it in the trash can there.
I tell you this not to give myself a Good Citizen award, but to note a weird facet of human psychology I've observed in the course of doing this.
Once, back when it was still cold, I saw a blanket and a sack of clothes on the bench. I thought surely someone must have forgotten these items, so I left them undisturbed so the person could come back and get them. But they remained undisturbed, blocking access to the bench. But the Real Problem was that, as the days passed, more trash got piled up on top of them–more and faster than I'd usually observed. Apparently the presence of a significant pile over several days convinced people that this was a Designated Drop-Off Site and it was OK to leave their trash there as well. So I gingerly picked up everything and carted it to the Dollar General Dump, and trash deposit returned to its former occasional occurrence. Although if I ever share the stop with the person who keeps leaving gallon containers partially-filled with pink fluid (some sort of "juice drink"–the flavors vary, but it's always pink), I may have to address them directly. ("And get your finger dislocated again," Nick says, in his capacity as my Life Coach.)
THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PT. II
Which is worse:
–a sidewalk overgrown with weeds, because the homeowner thinks that A.) the City sends somebody by to take care of it, or B.) no one actually uses the sidewalk, right?
–a sidewalk overgrown with weeds which the homeowner has dealt with by means of chemical spray, which leaves them dead and brown, BUT STILL STANDING THERE??
Write! Write! Write!
Yeah, and guess who couldn't tell from the tiny sample picture that the person in this photo was writing music, and then I couldn't figure out how to remove a picture, or if it's even possible. At any rate, there's a button in the corner of this page that says "Write," so that's what I'm doing. No, I can't write music, either.
I'M TRASH AND I'M TROUBLE
There is, at the present time, a board with a nail in it on the ground down the street from my house, just waiting for some hillbilly to grab it and use it in a fight. And don't think that wouldn't happen around here. There is also an old couch in my back yard. (The people who brought the new couch wouldn't haul the old one away, so Nick had to haul it out of our living room with his powerful jaws. Rom then beat it half to death with a sledgehammer.) But we have been outdone by our neighbors down the street, who have an old mattress on their front porch. They thought the Heavy Trash people would pick it up. They were wrong, so there it stays.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?
Almost back-to-school time, because everyone's forgotten that back-to-school should be in September. I still like looking at school supplies, and found myself wondering if I could still find a use for construction paper. Is there a use for construction paper by anyone other than elementary-school children? The same question could be asked of papier-mache.
THE PERFECT FINAL TOUCH
–Vultures circling at Franklin St./St Joe Ave. No, I'm not dead yet, in spite of this fiendish heat, which is, of course, not caused by climate change, because climate change would mean we shouldn't be driving quite so much, which is, of course, unacceptable.) SEE HOW I MADE A PARENTHESIS HERE, EVEN THOUGH I HADN'T STARTED ONE, BECAUSE I AM PARENTHESIS-ADDICTED. I am also drunk. Because a guy on the TV said we shouldn't drink during the heat wave, so of course I had to do it. We boomers are irrepressible.
KUDOS WHERE DESERVED
Whatever "kudos" may be, I issue them to my former co-worker 911SK, who (having left 911 for less-stressful climes at the Water Dept.) said she wanted to stuff ice cubes down her pants in this heat, because "it's a clam bake down there." Now I will think of that whenever I go out in the heat. We need more clever sayings by women.
But it's back-to-school season, so it's bound to cool off soon, right? RIGHT? Oh, that's right, we don't go back to school in September anymore. We know better somehow.
Holiday Complaints
Photo by Miguel Á. Padriñán on Pexels.comWell
Well, the year is half over. Time to complain about Labor Day/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas/almost time for New Year's. How time flies.
I speak from the unique perspective of a rock star who's also running for President. ("And has a pet dragon, don't forget," says Nick, curled at my feet.) I am capable of simultaneously wishing time was up and we already knew who the Democratic nominee is, and realizing this knowledge will not affect my vote.
A ROM-STYLE OLD-FASHIONED RANT
"Schools struggle with teaching slavery." The reason is that re-enacting slavery in the classroom proves traumatizing to kids. How about…hear me out…we just READ ABOUT IT, AND SAY IT WAS BAD, WITHOUT FEELING COMPELLED TO RE-ENACT IT? Looking at modern education as an autistic person, I have to say it was easier to pass for neuro-typical in the old days. If I had to re-enact stuff as a matter of course, I would for sure need special classes. "Senior service projects"? You have to "go out into the community" in order to graduate? Call me special-needs.
This is making me flash back to work-related "role-playing" training, and required visits to other agencies to see how they did stuff., and having other people "sit with you, and watch you answer 911 calls." It still makes me want to scream. Hmm, it would have been interesting to have screamed at work. Maybe I'll go out there and do so. I'll have to call on the outside phone, and say, "I worked there for 30 years," and hope someone remembers that no one has yet worked there longer.
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL SHOOTING OFF FIREWORKS??? FOR THAT MATTER, WHY ARE THEY LEGAL FOR CIVILIANS??? SURELY MY QUANTITY OF QUESTION MARKS WILL DO SOMETHING????
OK, Whatever

I typed in "whatever," and this is the only picture that came up. Whatever.
Nick is no longer a police officer. He came over for his no-longer-a-police-officer present, and we hugged for, I'm guessing, less than the 20 seconds required for a hug to have its effects on your health, so I'm safe.
That sounds like a hug was his present, which is, I believe, illegal. His present was actually a Donut Bank t-shirt, since he can now go to Donut Bank without people snickering. You know, cops, donuts, etc.
It also sounds like the police department threw him out, which they did not. He threw himself out.
Spellcheck says "donut" is not a word, but fack them. Yes, I'm drunk. It's April Fool's Day, and that is the quickest way to become a fool.
THERE WILL BE, AS EVERY YEAR, LIVE-BLOGGING TO ACCOMPANY DOING MY TAXES, WHICH, I BELIEVE, THERE IS A DEADLINE FOR.
IN RETROSPECT, NO, THERE WAS NOT. YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE THESE DAYS.
Mardi Gras at McDonald's
Photo by Brigitte Tohm on Pexels.com
Since Mardi Gras is called Pancake Tuesday in, I think, England, I went to McDonald's to have some. But the real Mardi Gras King today was undoubtedly the person who left their cardboard crown from Burger King under the bus seat today, amidst a pile of scattered candy.
I am wearing my two strands of Mardi Gras beads. Disclaimer (since Nick always fantasizes about some risque explanation): I found one on the sidewalk by the bus stop after the Mardi Gras parade had gone by one year, and the other was awarded me for eating at Hacienda after my dentist appointment another year, since my dentist's office is across the street from them. Because my life is exciting.
I AM THE OUTSIDER AND I WILL NOT SHUT UP
Since I am a declared presidential candidate (no Launching an Exploratory Committee for me!), I am as entitled to pontificate as any of the others. I will never stop reminding you that–
–Mexico was going to pay for the wall, hence, no need to keep asking us to do it, and
–the tax cuts to individuals given in tax "reform" will expire, the ones for corporations will not.
Perhaps I will state those two things at the end of every post, like Cicero's "Carthago delenda est." ("And by the way, Carthage must be destroyed.")
And if you say, "But you're not a serious candidate!"–I'm not a serious anything.
Well, I had a couple World Leader Edicts in mind, to keep in practice for when I win the election. I was even sitting on the bus thinking, I've got to write a blog post just to get these on the record. Now that the time has come, I cannot remember a single one. And I haven't even started my Mardi Gras drinking.
ON ANOTHER NOTE
There is no segue for this, so I won't even try. We are mourning the loss of my mother-in-law, Amazing Grace. I'm glad I got to see her at her 90th birthday party in January. It's funny how the little things can affect you–I just remembered, No more birthday and anniversary cards from her, and teared up a bit. Her funeral will be tomorrow, which is, as it happens, Ash Wednesday. Remember you are dust, and to dust you shall return.

A cadlag function is a function defined on real numbers or subset of real numbers that is everywhere right-continuous and have left limits everywhere. The Cadlag function is important in the study of Stochastic processes that admits jumps. The collection of Cadlag functions on a given domain is known as Skorokhod space. A cadlag function when defined on a compact space interval is bounded. Also, a uniform limit of a sequence of cadlag function is again cadlag.
All continuous functions are perfect examples of cadlag functions.
Cumulative distribution function (CDF) are also cadlag functions where they have a limit at the left side and it is right continuous.

"For those who've come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share," says Australia's national anthem - a hollow sentiment for the hundreds locked up indefinitely under Australia's controversial policy of mandatory detention.
As our car picks a path through the clogged main roads of Sydney's western suburbs, Judy Hunt cranes her neck and squints up through the windscreen at the sky. The clouds threaten rain. Not good.
This wiry, Wellington-born campaigner works tirelessly to get people out of detention. She needs to review several cases today, but if the heavens open before we get to Villawood, she knows they'll be packed in under a small canopy that offers the only cover in the outdoor compound where visitors and detainees are allowed to meet.
"There are hardly any seats or space at the tables," she frets. "I'll never get through the paperwork in time."
After World War II, thousands of exhausted European refugees passed through Villawood in the government's postwar push to "Populate or Perish". Helpful staff were on hand to smooth their path into alien Australian society.
Today, Villawood houses hundreds more foreigners hoping for a future in Australia. But these ones - mostly from Asia, Africa and the Middle East - came without an invite and there's no welcome mat.
Instead, they're held indefinitely behind two steel fences topped with tightly rolled razor wire, and watched over by Australasian Correctional Management (ACM) - the company running Australia's private jails and Auckland's Central Remand Prison.
Australia's policy of mandatory detention dates back to 1992, but after the Tampa affair and the Bali bombing, former Immigration Minister Phillip Ruddock enforced it more rigorously than was envisaged back then. Across the six states hundreds languish in places such as Villawood. There have been forced deportations, breakouts, riots and hunger strikes at the harshest ones. Suicide, self-harm and mental breakdowns happen all the time.
To visit, you pretend that you're a friend. You need their full names (correctly spelt), nationalities and their six-digit reference numbers. And you need patience - the queue is long, the officials slow. You leave cameras, phones, recorders and money back in the car.
The detainees fear that talking to journalists will harm their case, and it's hard to get them to speak openly. Sometimes they wander off in mid-sentence, nodding towards the uniformed ACM outside the wire, peering in from the cabs of patrolling Holden utes.
While Hunt distributes food and case notes, helpful detainees persuade others to interpret those with bad English. Some seem unwilling, as if they no longer believe that anything will speed their passage from this place.
But among those eager to make progress is an Iranian family from a minority that's unloved by the country's Islamic rulers. The two youngest sons have obvious intellectual handicaps, and their case for either refugee status or compassionate consideration should be rock solid, says Hunt. But like all the others here, they wait indefinitely for an assessment of their claim.
"Their stories are simply not being believed," says Hunt. "People have a hearing on arrival, and are generally refused. Any inconsistency in the review tribunal, any discrepancy in the retelling, and their testimony is rejected as 'not credible'. And that can't be appealed.
"Yet there's nothing to show any link between refugees [in detention] and al-Qaeda or any organisation like that. Anyone in the country with that sort of agenda didn't come in on a leaky boat."
Those in Villawood do at least get the attention of support networks in nearby Sydney.
Anne Simpson's suspicions about conditions in the far-flung detention centres prompted her to make an epic countrywide bus tour of all of them. After arriving at the remote Port Hedland centre in Northern Territory, she was shocked when detainees rushed to the fence to vent their anger.
"These people had never had visitors. They had hardly any communication with the outside world," she recalls.
"Some just cried for two hours. Others were yelling out, 'I'm YAK 240' and 'I'm ELF 678'. They weren't even using their names. They'd got so conditioned to referring to themselves by their numbers."
Among them was Cheikh Kone. On Simpson's videotape of that day, he's pawing at the wire, ranting angrily about "this concentration camp" and "the renewed holocaust". Eighteen months later, he lives - improbably - in Sydney's millionaires' seaside suburb of Mosman.
"The mental persecution is the worst thing," recalls Kone, a journalist who fled the Ivory Coast in 2000. He stowed away on a freighter he thought was bound for Europe, only to emerge in Fremantle.
"You are not being told anything about your case. It's like having your life in limbo. If I'd killed somebody, at least I'd know when I could get out."
With the help of Jesuit campaigners, Kone got a visa and a teaching job in a Sydney high school. He's even got an agent for the book he hopes to write about his experience.
Others are even further from any source of support - there are the 284 people still marooned by the so-called "Pacific Solution" under the searing equatorial sun of Nauru. And then there's the remarkable case of young Afghan man Aladdin Sisalem, detained in Australian facilities on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island.
"It's as bad as Guantanamo Bay," says prominent Melbourne QC Julian Burnside. "We have not managed to get an independent lawyer anywhere near any of the detainees in Nauru in two and a half years. These people - innocent of any offence - have been denied any legal help at all."
Yet, if people who fled for their lives are being kept safe by Australia - albeit not in five-star comfort - is that not a fair go?
"These people are more than battlers - they've got real guts. They've made a trip that could easily have killed them, and they're being denied liberty and justice," says Burnside.
"We're treating innocent people harshly to deter others. That's immoral. The numbers [of asylum seekers] are tiny set against our orthodox migration stream, but the cost of detention is enormous. There's no logic here."
But PM John Howard's unyielding stance during the Tampa affair helped him win an election that he looked set to lose. He says the 12,000-plus official refugees Australia takes in annually prove that Australia is a humanitarian country - and that asylum seekers are jumping the queue. He's also backed by polls showing that Australians agree you can't be too careful who you let in.
So veteran political analyst Malcolm McKerrass says Howard will keep "toughing out" the bad publicity.
"But the defence of the policy is a pack of lies," he says. "Liberal Members of Parliament tell me, 'Look. We're getting away with it. The public agrees with us. Why should we ditch a popular policy just because you think we're hypocrites?' Seriously! That's what they say."
He has known Howard for years, but last year he turned down his annual invitation to Australia Day drinks at the PM's lodge.
"I wrote to tell him I couldn't in all conscience socialise with [the detainees'] chief tormentor," he says, flourishing the letter and Howard's polite reply.
Refugee campaigners say Howard's policy is not only politically expedient, it's also racist. Why, they ask, were Cambodian and Vietnamese arrivals taken in just a generation ago - and not today's boat people? Why are greater numbers of British and Irish overstayers, who work illegally, not detained also?
"Islamophobia," says geographer Kevin Dunn, bluntly.
In his surveys of attitudes to race - the most comprehensive carried out since the Tampa affair - nearly half of those interviewed say some groups did not belong in Australia - "and they overwhelmingly singled out Muslims and people from the Middle East".
Some say Australia's immigration policy ought to follow that lead.
Wolfgang Kaspar speaks for the Centre for Independent Studies - a think tank credited with influencing and supporting Howard's brand of activist conservatism. He advocates another historic expansion of the Australian population, but not accommodating "these disoriented poor people". Transforming refugees from "cultures alien to ours", he says, involves "transaction costs that are too high. New Zealand did us a big favour taking those people from the Tampa.
"People from the Middle East just don't settle well," he insists. "It's not much to do with religion - more to do with the fanaticism needed to survive in desert cultures."
While the debate rages, the detention centres that once housed thousands are slowly emptying. Many detainees have accepted cash incentives to return home, rather than live in limbo. More are taking up the controversial temporary protection visas that get them out, but oblige them to leave Australia after three years. And others, such as Cheikh Kone, have won lengthy court battles to get a visa.
But Burnside says Howard and his former Immigration Minister Ruddock could yet be called to account for mandatory detention.
"Australia has signed up to the International Criminal Court. We now have in our criminal code some very exotic offences. In theory, senior ministers could be charged with crimes against humanity."
But any prosecution would have to come from the top - from Australia's Attorney-General, no less.
