Process approved in the Technical Steering Group Meeting on January 26, 2011. Please do not make changes to this process, but you can make any suggestions on the discussion page.
Contents |
The Working Groups are devoted to discussions related to their specific vertical and are accountable to provide input and guidance about market requirements. They are responsible for collecting market requirements from organizations and companies participating in the Working Groups. They identify gaps and develop requirements that detail the need for capabilities. The Working Groups do not manage the projects, but rather support product evolution by providing market requirements. A high-level description of some of the Working Group tasks include collecting market requirements and prioritize them, provide a compliance profile and a hardware profile for the specific vertical.
Working Groups make decisions through a "rough consensus" process. IETF consensus does not require that all participants agree although this is, of course, preferred. In general, the dominant view of the working group shall prevail. (However, "dominance" is not to be determined on the basis of volume or persistence, but rather a more general sense of agreement). Consensus can be determined by a show of hands, humming, or any other means on which the Working Group agrees (by rough consensus, of course). Note that 51% of the working group does not qualify as "rough consensus" and 99% is better than rough. It is up to the Chair to determine if rough consensus has been reached (IETF Working Group Guidelines and Procedures).
Working Groups will have their own area within the MeeGo wiki where they publish list of participants, meeting information and minutes, mailing list informations, and post data relative to that Working Group, etc.
The TSG sets the direction, tone, and vision for MeeGo, speaks on behalf of the project, and is responsible for project level decisions and overall leadership. Currently, the members of the TSG are Imad Sousou (Director of the Intel Open Source Technology Center) and Valtteri Halla (Director of MeeGo Engineering at Nokia). The TSG meets every two weeks. These meetings are public and open to all. Minutes of the TSG meetings are also public and available at TSG meeting logs. Participate in the TSG meetings at http://wiki.meego.com/Technical_Steering_Group_meetings.
If you are interested in a MeeGo Working Group that is not kicked off yet, or are interested in having MeeGo support a new device type (i.e. new vertical), please go to bugs.meego.com and create a bug for that request and assign it to user ibrahim.
Community members are welcome to participate, and they are already active members of MeeGo development. Requirements typically come from Community, Working Groups, and Upstream Projects as illustrated in http://meego.com/developers/requirements. The goal of this Working Group process is to put in place a framework that companies can follow, using the same methods and tools that the community members are already using. Community members can submit requirements/feature requests/bugs/etc via [bugs.meego.com http://bugs.meego.com].
As we start using this process, we anticipate new ideas for practical improvements. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please assign a bug to ibrahim with your suggestions.

New Hampshire has 40,000 turkeys
Change is the only constant for the state's turkey population.
Once abundant, the last wild turkey was spotted in Weare in 1854. Now there are an estimated 40,000 birds in the state, thanks to a restoration effort that began with 25 birds in Walpole in 1975.
Ted Walski, New Hampshire Fish and Game's turkey biologist, has been at the job since 1972. He said loss of habitat played a major role in the turkey's decline, as well as unregulated hunting.
The bird's revival began when the state traded a number of fisher cats for 25 turkeys from the Allegheny Mountains of New York and Pennsylvania.
One hunter who is happy the turkeys made a comeback is Steve Carpenter of Plymouth. He will have a domesticated bird on the table today, but does enjoy eating wild turkey breast.
Wild birds are about the same size as on most tables today - about 18 pounds from the field.
"They're tough," Carpenter said of both eating and catching New Hampshire's wild gobblers. "I won't eat the legs," he said.
"I first tried baking them. That wasn't good. Now I deep-fry and season with bread crumbs. Some guys like to soak them in buttermilk overnight," rather than a brine, he said.
At first, Carpenter plucked the birds, but found it is too much work.
"Never again," he shook his head.
Carpenter now skins the breasts and just cooks and eats the breast meat, which he said is darker and not as tender as a domestic bird.
Wild turkeys now roam in gangs of 20 or so in neighborhoods from New Castle to Pittsburg, roosting on swing sets, grazing at feeders, often stopping traffic as they scoot across roadways.
When are there too many turkeys, Walksi was asked.
"I don't have a concern for overpopulation," he said.

Evil Egg and Egg Shell Food Containers
evil egg fondant topped vanilla custard, caramel sauce and brioche cinnamon toast dippers
Join me on Facebook
Bake a lot and go through a whole lot of eggs? Well, you might as well put those empty egg shells to use, they make fabulous serving containers for sweet and savoury dishes. You can dye the shells to match your theme, use them for amuse-bouche scrambled eggs, to hold lollies and candies, filled with piped chocolate mousse or as I have done today "evil eggs" for Halloween.
Guests spoon off the evil fondant toppers to reveal vanilla custard, I served them in shot glasses with caramel sauce to add to the custard and toasted brioche batons tossed in cinnamon sugar for dipping. Because the custard needs refrigeration and the fondant doesn't like refrigeration, these have to be made no longer that one and a half hours before serving.
The easiest way to get a neat cut on your eggs is to use an egg topper, but a knife and steady hand will suffice.
there is two main types of egg toppers; scissors or the one I use the plunger type.
My egg topper works by first placing your egg on a folded dish towel, positioning the bowl shaped end on egg and lifting the plunger handle, release the handle and ta-da you have a topped egg. As you top each egg, slide the contents into a bowl to use for your cooking needs.
Preparing you shells
Place your emptied shells in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil. Reduce heat to simmer and simmer for 3 minutes. Turn of the heat and with a slotted spoon remove eggs shells from water and transfer to a baking rack to dry overnight. Dried shells can be stored indefinitely.
dried shells ready to use
To make evil eggs, you will need white fondant, egg yellow, red and black coloured fondant and a black food marker for the eyes. Optional; cake decorators clear gel or leaf varnish to add shine to the yolk.
Fill your shells with vanilla custard (home made or store bought) until it's three quarters full. Roll and shape pieces of the white fondant and one by one top the custard filled eggs, attaching the fondant to the top of the shell so it's not touching the custard. Shape a pieces of the yellow fondant to form yolks, attach to the white fondant with water.. don't forget to add a few drips! Add eyes the white and red fondant, eyebrows with the black fondant, attach with water. Draw a black dot on the eyes. Glaze if using.
Refrigerate one to one and half hours before serving.
Happy Baking :) or today it's not baking it's... lol, not sure "egging"?

Hi everyone,
I'm a 30 year old female and started off at around 340lbs. I've been on Paleo for one month now, very strict. No fruit, no soda, no chemicals, low carb (approx 30-40g a day), I'm eating meat at every meal and getting fat from animal fat, Coconut Oil, butter, ghee, and olive oil. Most of this comes from the cooking process. I feel good. I am getting 8-9 hours of sleep a night, I have more energy during the day and I'm not hungry all the time anymore. I'm just getting frustrated with the lack of progress on the scale (or in my measurements/photos). I lost 5-6 lbs the first week (water weight) but nothing since. I will lose 3 pounds one day and then gain 5 the next. I've been hovering around the same range for 3 weeks. I'm committed to a lifestyle change and can stick through this if it is a plateau etc., but as I'm still just getting started, if I'm doing something wrong or something, I'd like to get some suggestions/directions so that I can start to see some results. As for exercise, I have a job that is 90% sedentary. I have a broken foot right now, so it is hard to do a lot of exercise or even walking.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated. I can provide additional information if you need more detail.

He survived birth in the bitter cold of early January when a million babies like him died of hypothermia.
He was lucky he didn't end up alone, afraid and bewildered, in the orphan's market - sold for a few quid.
But Lucky's luck won't last. Soon, he will be killed for a Sunday roast that no-one really needs
It fails to mention that babies who should be born in Spring are now often delivered in mid-Winter - to steal a march on the Spring lamb market!
It fails to explain the human manipulation that has brought this about and the mass deaths from hunger and hypothermia that result.
They ignore Viva!'s heart-rending, undercover footage of livestock markets such as Exeter - lambs separated from their mothers, shivering in the February cold; the mournful bleats of ewes calling for their babies and the shriller call of lambs replying to mothers they will never see again.
It would not suit the cosy image to show horrible mutilations that are routine for many British lambs - tails amputated with a knife, hot iron or a tight rubber ring, causing part of the tail to slowly die. Then there's castration. Much of it is done without anaesthetics!
Slaughter? You don't want to know about that, believe us!
Each meat-eater in their lifetime will be responsible for the death of 23 lambs. Multiply that by an entire family...
If this disturbs you, stop eating meat. Lambs are particularly cute but so are piglets and calves and chicks and they all suffer hugely before they end up on people's dinner plates.
Go on, give it a go. You'll improve your health, help save the environment and remove yourself from this suffering.
What's the downside? There isn't one - and we have a host of recipes to help you get started.

GEO Seeks Extension of Federal Tax Credits for Geothermal Heat Pumps
As lawmakers hotly debate budget cuts and tax reform in Washington, DC, the Geothermal Exchange Organization (GEO) has formally asked the U.S. House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee to recommend extending federal tax credits for residential and commercial geothermal heat pump (GHP) installations beyond their Dec. 31, 2016 expiration date through the year 2020.
In comments to the committee, GEO President and CEO Doug Dougherty makes the case for continued federal interest in the health of the GHP industry: "Buildings are the largest single sector of total U.S. energy consumption. GHPs can efficiently and significantly reduce the heating and cooling loads of buildings, with positive benefits for our environment and economy," said Dougherty.
"Yet even though GHPs could achieve vast energy, economic and environmental benefits across America if installed for all suitable buildings, the technology is still relatively nascent and has been slow to catch a foothold in the broader HVAC market. At current rates of installation (<100,000 average 3-ton capacity residential units per year), GHPs represent less than 2% of the total HVAC marketplace. Reason? Higher 'first cost' incurred by drilling or excavation to place its ground-source heat exchange loop system near the building(s) which a GHP system serves.
"Recognizing the important and potentially far-reaching economic and environmental benefits of GHPs—and to assist broader and more rapid deployment by helping to overcome the first cost barrier— Congress amended the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code in 2008 with tax credits for residential and commercial GHP installations.
GEO on GSA Green Buildings Certifications
The Geothermal Exchange Organization (GEO) provided comments to the U.S. General Services Administration, to help the agency "better inform its recommendations to the Secretary of Energy regarding the federal government's use of third-party green building certification systems."
"GEO believes that GSA is on the right track in using third party certification systems to measure the design and performance of the federal government's construction and major modernization projects. Such input will enhance your goal of an environmentally sound approach to the certification of green Federal buildings.
"To provide a recommendation to the Secretary of Energy that will most likely encourage a comprehensive and environmentally sound approach to the certification of green Federal buildings, GEO suggests that GSA support the adoption of all three systems identified in their Request for Information, allowing Federal facility managers to utilize the system(s) most appropriate to their specific situations. This approach would create incentives for each of these organizations to continually evaluate their own methodologies and align their systems with actual "real-world" energy and environmental results.
"We are pleased that the Energy section within the Green Building Initiative's Green Globes system includes a subsection on renewable energy, which includes ground source heat pump systems and recognition of Energy Star designations, which rate geothermal heat pump systems as a "most efficient" technology.
Massachusetts Thermal Legislation Update
The Massachusetts Renewable Thermal Coalition continues to broaden its support for legislation that would expand the market for thermal energy in the Commonwealth. State Sen. Barry Finegold introduced coalition-crafted legislation in January that would add thermal renewable energy (including geothermal heat pumps) to the state's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard. The coalition is comprised of geothermal associations, energy companies, fuel suppliers and forest products companies. The Geo-thermal Exchange Organization (GEO) is a member, and stands in full support of their goal.
The coalition is nearing its target for funding, with efforts now focused on signing up the solar thermal and bio-oil technology interests. The next few weeks will be important, because more money will be needed to sustain coalition work as action on the legislation revs up.
The coalition Executive Committee (Charlie Niebling, David Cox, Matt Wolfe, Chris Williams, Jeff Hutchins, David O'Connor) continues to seek consensus on key questions, including the status of thermal RPS efforts elsewhere in the Northeast and around the country. Additional questions include meeting sustainability challenges of the biomass industry without creating unreasonable/unattainable criteria. A new website will soon provide information and updates on the coalition and its legislative objective.
Coalition lobbyist David O'Connor is seeking support by the national Solar Heating and Cooling Alliance and three environmental organizations, including the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF), Environment Northeast, and the Union of Concerned Scientists. Finegold's bill (SB 1593) has been officially referred by the Clerk to the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy. Coalition representatives sought support from Massachusetts Department of Environmental Resources Commissioner Mark Sylvia and his staff on March 26.
New York State Geo Sales Tax Bill
The New York State Senate and Assembly have proposed legislation that would amend current law to exempt sellers and purchasers of geothermal heating and cooling systems from sales and use taxes for materials (labor involved in such installations is already exempt from taxation). The bills would mandate sales and use tax breaks similar to those that have helped the solar photovoltaic industry to prosper in New York.
According to the Long Island Energy Organization (LI-GEO), "The change in the law will make the geothermal industry within the state—including geothermal engineers, installers, designers, service providers, equipment distributors and manufacturers—more competitively priced and profitable."
Visit the LI-GEO website to read all about the legislation. The bills are available at the following links: Senate Bill S01343; Assembly Bill A01411.

P.S. I'm checking out LMDE here on an old spare laptop.
Today having tried many Linux distros I installed LMDE for the first time.
I'm a newbie to LMDE and this forum and a refugee from Ubuntu. Thus far the desktop layout of LMDE and usage feels ideal and easy to use for my purposes.
Ubuntu ran flawlessly from 8.04 to 10.10 for my essential financial and other administration on several PCs including a netbook, laptops and desktop for many many years.
Sorry Canonical I just cannot get on with the latest Ubuntu distros, especially Unity and even Gnome Classic. Neither are Xubuntu, Lubuntu, or Kubuntu right for me.
I decided to choose the Debian based LInux Mint rather than the Ubuntu based one because I am not happy where Ubuntu is going now. Also I understand that I will not have to do an install of LMDE again because of it is a rolling release. Nice.

Back before BooBaaa was born, I wrote a long post about The Agony of Finding the Right Name for my boys. And my naming "rules". Because finding the right name is hard, especially the perfect boy's name.
Or so I thought.
Because picking the perfect girl's name is turning out to be even harder.
Maybe it's because we're only going to have the one girl. Or because it's our last wee one, period. Or maybe it's because there are just so many lovely girl names out there. Or maybe I'm just incredibly indecisive. But I have had baby girl names on the brain for weeks and weeks, and I'm still agonizing over which few names will be the ones we 'take with us' when I go into labor.
And we've barely touched upon middle names yet!
Kat raised the "naming of the girl" topic today over at her place, Seeking Sanity. And I admit I was rather relieved to see I'm not the only one who always thought I'd know exactly what I would name my daughter if I ever had the privilege of having one, but now that I'm actually having one, I'm seriously waffling. There are soooo many lovely girl names out there. And as a result, some of my 'sure thing' name combination options aren't looking so 'sure thing' anymore. In fact, a whole slew of girls names that I have always loved and thought I would give ultra-serious consideration to were almost immediately "off the table" for a whole variety of reasons.
For fun, then, like Kat, I thought I would do a Thursday Thirteen List of Girl Names that I really love. Unlike Kat, however, my list will be girl names that, while loved and admired, we will NOT be using for our impending Lambchop for a variety of reasons.
13 Girly Names We Won't Be Using
1. Freya. I adore the name Freya. In fact, back when I was pregnant with Boo, before I knew Boo was a "he", Freya was at the top of my list for a wee girl. It's a gorgeous name that doesn't even crack the top 1000 list in the U.S., which is a head-scratcher for me because it's a chronic top 20 name in England and Scotland. But, sadly, that's why we took it off our list now that we're actually having a girl; it's waaaay too popular here. I see so many little Freyas everywhere I go here. If we lived in the states, this would be our likely choice. But we don't, so it's out.
2. Malia. Another long, long-time favorite name. One of my sister's best friends growing up was named Malia; and I fell even more in love with it during my six years in Hawaii. It's just so pretty when it rolls off the tongue. But then we elected a new President last year, and guess what? His oldest girl's name is Malia, which means it's going to go straight up the popularity charts. Plus, it's Hawaiian, and my husband isn't quite as keen on the idea.
3. Triona. My love of celtic and irish music led me to this name years ago. It's a shortened version of Catriona or Caitriona. But my husband pointed out that, technically, I was pronouncing it wrong (tree-oh-nah) when it should be pronounced like 'trina'. And he was only willing to consider the full version of Catriona, which faces the same pronuncation issues, which I'm not as keen on. Plus, we already have an Auntie Trina, which violates one of my existing naming rules. (Not to mention the fact that a good friend made fun of it years ago, but I forgive her. She had a good point. heh heh)
4. Audrey. Audrey is just a lovely, lovely name, made famous by the even lovelier Ms Hepburn. But it's been screaming up the charts in the U.S. the past few years, and is clearly headed for the top 20 very soon. An old-fashioned name that is clearly coming back around, and rightfully so. But its popularity means it's not for us.
5. Leilani. Another gorgeous Hawaiian name that I've always admired; another 'no' from my husband.
6. Lorelei. Ditto the Hawaiian gorgeousness. And made even more mainstream in popularity by the quirky television series The Gilmore Girls. And now envision the 'too Hawaiian' name being vetoed by my husband with the addition of an eye-roll. Sigh.
7. Adele. Another lovely, old-fashioned name that I think deserves to make a comeback. But I also can't quite imagine giving it to a baby because it still sounds like an "older" name. I suspect that's the reason it still hasn't re-entered the top 1000 names in the U.S. We'd have to use a nickname, like Ada (and we have one of those in the family already, so 'no') or Addie while Lambchop was little. And, to be honest, I'm not huge on nicknames, so it's an unlikely choice for us.
8. Violeta. Pronounced vee-oh-letta, I think this is a very pretty, sweet name for a girl. A lovely flower name, the prettier version of Violet. But one of Ramekin's best friends on our street is named Violeta, so no go.
9. Annika. On paper, and on the tongue, the name fits all of our potential naming criteria. It's a lovely Scandinavian name (Swedish, though, not Norwegian), which would probably delight my Norwegian MIL. But after much --and I mean much-- consideration while I seriously considered it, I just don't think it will work with our childrens' last names. There's just something not quite right about it for us.... so it was with regret I took it out of serious contention. (I suppose it could make a comeback, though...you never know.)
10a and 10b. Ailsa and Isla. Both names are beautiful, traditional Scottish girl names that my Scotland-born husband really likes. But Isla is incredibly popular right now, so I'm not interested in using it. And, while Ailsa is lovely, the truth is, it sounds foreign coming off my tongue. I struggle to pronounce it properly, and I want a name I can easily pronounce for my own daughter. When I say Ailsa, it sounds more like Elsa, an almost equally lovely Scandinavian name, and, incidentally, the name of one of my husband's (now deceased) Norwegian Aunts. But we know a four-month old Elsa. And I don't like the look of it as much as Ailsa. So it lingers on the discarded names list.
11. Serena. Pretty, but ruined by the existance of the teeny bopper television show Gossip Girl. I can only imagine how many younger moms-to-be will be using this name for their own daughters in the coming years.
12. Joelle. Getting really tired of my husband's eye rolls, which is what I got when I suggested it. And a reminder that we're not French.
13. Arlette. My husband again reminds me that we're not French, the party-pooper.
Bonus round: A few additional lovely, old-fashioned girly names we won't be using because they're just too darn popular over here, all in the top 20: Hannah; Charlotte; Olivia; Lily.
So those are some of the names I really like that we probably won't be using. And I'll continue to roll around our dwindling list of names in my head and out loud when I think no one can see me talking to my tummy. Not to mention continually browsing the internet for names I might have overlooked.
And don't even get me started on our tentative ideas for a middle name ... we can't even begin to address that until we have a first name! Plus our middle name selection is less likely to be 'mainstream'.
So what are your thoughts on girly names?

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
You might call him "Top Dog" of Colorado Springs, after a runner-up placing at Westminster.
Colorado Springs was represented well at the Westminster Kennel Club Tuesday night.
20-month-old Bugaboos Picture Perfect "Swagger" was picked as the runner-up at Madison Square Garden.
"Swagger" is owned and bred by Colton & Heather Johnson and Douglas & Michaelanne Johnson.
The Old English Sheepdog won the Herding Group before heading to Best in Show. He won "Reserve Best In Show" (2nd Place).
We're told he was also picked as People's Choice Best of Show.
His breeder, Douglas Johnson, tells us he was an "underdog" going into the competition.
Wednesday Swagger's breeder came back to Sunrise/Woodmen Kennels with the dog's awards.
Douglas Johnson, Swagger's breeder and owner of the kennels says that Swagger was a "wild card", because he is only 20 months old and has only been showed four times.
Douglas says his winnings were "totally unexpected".
"It was very emotional. We were absolutely surprised and tickled to death.
Somebody captured a picture of us with her yelling and screaming with her arms swaying. Everybody around us was absolutely hysterical," said Douglas Johnson.
Swagger's owners, Colton and Heather Johnson showed Swagger in New York. Colton is the son of Douglas Johnson. The family was overjoyed with Swagger's composure and awards.
He describes Swagger as a very special dog who is very well-composed for his age and lack of experience. He's also known for being very lovable.
"He's a licker. Everybody who came around with Swagger at Westminster Kennel Club, they got kisses," said Johnson.
Swagger is now headed to Denver to compete in another dog show. He is expected back in the Springs on Tuesday.
But, Banana Joe was picked as America's top dog.
The 5-year-old affenpinscher with the monkeylike face and wagging tail earned his 86th best in show, a day before he was set to fly back to the Netherlands with his owner.
Also in the best-of-seven final ring were a German wirehaired pointer ranked as the nation's No. 1 show dog, an American foxhound, a Portuguese water dog, a bichon frise and a smooth fox terrier.
There were 2,721 entries in the 137th Westminster.

Updated: 05/14/2013 - I'm still focused on meeting my goal of doing a pull-up. And I'm almost there! But I'm always getting this question:
Updated: 04/17/2013 - Crossing the finish line is such an awesome moment. It's hard to imagine what it has been like for the runners in Boston.
Updated: 04/09/2013 - Admittedly, there are days that I just don't feel like working out. But then I met Viola. And if she can make working out a priority at 99, then none of us have any excuses! Here's how she's living a FIT LIFE:

Are you planning on doing a summer trip with your kids? If you are going anywhere and taking the kids with you, then I would love to introduce you to another great Britax product that will make your kids and your life a lot easier! While you all might know about Britax strollers and car seats, you might not know about the Britax line of accessories that are meant to facilitate going through airports with the little ones.
Among these must have accessories, you will find my personal favorite. The BRITAX CAR SEAT TRAVEL CART. If you have ever traveled with kids you know how hard it can be to go through airports with them. Especially if you need to bring their car seats along for the trip (which I always do)……So this travel cart is an incredible and so welcome product to facilitate the whole process.
What makes this little cart so convenient? The car seat's attachment can be easily attached using the car seat LATCH connectors which are, the same connectors that secure your car seat firmly to your car. The cart is really light when it is by itself and folds very compact allowing you to store it easily in small spaces, including most airplane overhead compartments.
The BRITAX CAR SEAT TRAVEL CART is solidly constructed using a durable steel frame design and easy-glide wheels to facilitate the maneuvers, and one of my favorite features on this cart, is that you can actually let your kids sit on the car seat while you wheel it on the cart………The BRITAX CAR SEAT TRAVEL CART can be used with children harnessed in car seats for short travel distances which allows you to not only keep your little ones at your side at all times while you go through the airport, but makes it easier on them, not to mention that you are easily taking a very important piece of your luggage at the same time.
The cart features a raised platform that protects the car seat from contacting the ground, while the one-hand telescoping handle adjusts to fit any heights you might need ( this is another great feature ). To make this Cart a definitely must have, The BRITAX CAR SEAT TRAVEL CART accommodates all BRITAX Convertibles and Harnessed Booster seats, and even most other brands. The setup is a breeze as there is no assembly required, just get the cart open it, and you are good to go easy and convenient!
The BRITAX CAR SEAT TRAVEL CART has a MSRP (USD) $79.99 and is one of the best buys you will make this holidays if you are traveling with your kids!

Phillips, who recently completed a move from the Ospreys to French club Bayonne, was handed the suspension by the Welsh Rugby Union after an incident outside a McDonalds in Cardiff in the early hours of last Tuesday.
The 28-year-old has made the number nine jersey his own since the arrival of Warren Gatland as head coach in 2007, playing a major part in the 2008 Grand Slam and going on to be one of the stand-out performers on the 2009 Lions tour of South Africa.
He was recently named in Gatland's preliminary 45-man squad for the World Cup but has been advised not to report for squad duties following his ban, putting his participation at the global showpiece in doubt.
Wales will open their World Cup campaign in New Zealand by meeting the reigning world champions at Wellington's Westpac Stadium on September 11, and former Worcester back Delport believes it would be a big boost for the Boks if Phillips were to be absent.
"It's good news for us because Mike is such a key part to the Welsh structure," Delport told BBC Sport.
"He adds so much to the Wales team and he's definitely one of the stand-out players.
"To have one of the stand-out players out of the set-up would be advantageous for the South Africa set-up.
"He offers a lot of physicality, especially round the breakdown. He reminds me a lot of Joost van der Westhuizen when he played for South Africa.
"He's really aggressive in the defence and especially against a team like South Africa you're going to need that physicality and aggressiveness going into the contact."
Phillips is the latest Wales player to attract unwanted headlines.
Gavin Henson was suspended for a week while at Toulon after being involved in a disagreement with two of his team-mates, while Andy Powell left Wasps after being involved in a bar-room brawl that left the back-rower needing stitches in a head wound.
Delport believes these problems are only serving to heap more pressure on the Wales camp.
"If you play international rugby you are going to target any weakness," Delport said.
"Unfortunately, I think a lot of the off-field antics that's been happening in the last couple of months [have] put a lot of pressure on the Welsh preparations.
"Maybe not going into the competition with the best of results recently added to the discipline issues of the key players puts a lot of pressure on the Welsh preparations.
"Certainly this will be looked at. It might be a bit of cohesion in the team structure and the team spirit of the Welsh side and that's really going to be tested.
"South Africa's quite a physical side. We strive on physical dominance of the opponents and that's really going to be tested out on the field.

The impedance of the stratosphere absorbs a lot of light from the blue spectrum giving it a blue appearance, it is actually clear as you can see at night when you can easily distinguish the stars in the sky.
The water of the sea itself is mostly a clear liquied but with a high refractive and reflective constitution, there are some elements of non water particles in the sea which when stirred by the currents do give the sea a tinge of colour, however, the majority of the sea's colour is actually reflection of the overhead sky colouring. Where this is blue a blue colouring is added to the sea's colour and clounds cast a grey reflection.
Due to the refraction of light by the water ( place a straight rod into a bucket of water and see the 'bend') and the interference particles as you descend into the depths the available light has been dispersed leaving little or no penetrating light particles.

So, uh, I guess the thread's now about silly .gif action and coordinating GC's victory over Goblins? :P
You win this thread.
Well, it's official: Gunnerkrigg won!
Also, I think that needs to be reposted over at the Gunnerkrigg forums. I bet they'll get a kick out of it.

At first I thought we'd vote so hard we'd break the site, clear the databases, and force a retally due to data loss.
That would have been pretty epic, but I'm sure the finale will be just as catastrophically headache-inducing for the mods, so we should just let them handle the migraines that are sure to follow.
Note: this ComicMix is one of the doomed voices that talk to Sollux every day.
GG, guys, GG.
Your thread wins for awesome .gifs, though.
The most sad thing about losing this competition is, in my opinion, that there are so many haters in the comments who don't even give it a decent shot and think that it sucks.
If we had gotten further, we could have shown that Homestuck truly deserves to be viewed as a WEBcomic.
A Member of the Midnight Crew
Please DO NOT do this. This is a trivial internet poll, which was won fairly by a good comic done by a nice guy. I can think of no worse advertisement for homestuck than to drown these guys in complaints; moreover graciousness in defeat is a better way to show support for homestuck than voting ever will be.
Personally, I would encourage people to pop in to the GKC forums and congratulate them. It was well deserved. To win something like this, against homestuck's ridiculously large fanbase, goes to show how esteemed GKC is amongst the webcomic community.
Gah. Goblins beat OotS? How? People, everybody, you vote for GC right now.

So did you guys just make GC win to save yourself from Olive Garden or something?

Seriously. It was fair. Well, Brackets aren't exactly fair but you get the point.
I mean, it's not like we're comparing SBAHJ against other comics. Not placing firdst..... would be an insult.
And it's not like the prize is some movie contract worth as much as Avatar, it's just some, by comparison, Chump change :I
So when is the new one going up?
Probably taking the opportunity to upgrade their servers a bit.
Also I'm glad I voted GKC. I think I would be more distraught if GKC suddenly ended, than if MSPA did, but possibly because I love Andrew and want to give him the chance to go outside for the first time in three years. (Second time in 6 or so)

When officers arrived at the scene, they made contact with a male who advised that he was in his bedroom when 27-year-old Alfredo Resendiz kicked in the bedroom door in a violent manner and entered the bedroom as if he was going to fight the male.
According to a GPD incident report, the male further pointed to a hole in the bedroom as a result of Resendiz kicking it.
Police then spoke to Resendiz, who reportedly appeared to be intoxicated. Resendiz admitted to kicking in the bedroom door - at which point he was arrested for disorderly conduct and taken to police headquarters on Poplar Street.
After being fingerprinted and issued a citation, Resendiz was transported to Lamar County Jail, from where he was not to be released until 5 a.m. of the following day due to his intoxication.
In another incident, Griffin police arrested 42-year-old Gladstone Malcolm Saturday at an apartment on Grantland Road for simple battery under the Family Violence Act and two counts of cruelty to children.
According to a GPD incident report, officers made contact with two females, two juveniles and Malcolm at the scene. The females stated to police that Malcolm attacked one of the them and tried to push her down the stairs. He reportedly also grabbed the juveniles forcefully when they told him that they were leaving to call the police.
Malcolm, who reportedly was very aggressive and irate, stated he only put his hands on the female to move her along.
Malcolm was placed in handcuffs and transported to Spalding County Jail.

Finding examples of employee misclassification via the job board on Toronto's Craigslist is like shooting fish in a barrel. The latest example I discovered is for what's advertised as a "Paid Internship", but it's really just another exploitative internship scam designed to subvert the social minimums set out in Ontario's Employment Standards Act, 2000 ("the ESA") such as minimum wage and vacation pay. This post is going to deconstruct an advertisement for an internship in Toronto's cultural sector and then consider whether there's a darker narrative afoot with the rise of intern culture in Canada.
Bunch Family's Rebecca Brown |
Wow! That's asking a lot from the intern, but wait there's more. The advertisement also requests a "CV and three online writing samples, as well as a cover letter with a little bit about your background, your experience with SEO and SEM and what makes you passionate about kid culture and the digital space." By way of background SEO refers to search engine optimization and SEM refers to search engine marketing, both of which are highly prized technical skills used to boost traffic to websites.
One might be wonder what's the pay for this "Paid Internship" position? Well, it's the princely sum of $150.00 for twenty to thirty hours per week. Now this may be an example of some sort of new math that employers do to feel good about themselves, but it most certainly falls below Ontario's minimum wage of $10.25 and is far from any semblance of a living wage. For twenty to thirty hours per week an employer would have to pay the employee between $205.00 and $307.50 to comply with the ESA.
Turning to the misclassification aspect of this advertisement. This internship breaches s. 1(2) of the ESA on multiple grounds, thereby removing any possibility that Bunch Family could legally pay below the minimum wage. S. 1(2) is breached by breaking prong three of the test as the employer deriving significant benefit from the intern through the writing of daily stories, fact-checking, research, and assisting with SEO/SEM initiatives; furthermore, prong six of the test is also breached by the employer paying remuneration of $150.00 per week. This isn't an internship, rather it's a case of an employer misclassifying an employee as an intern to avoid the obligations arising from the ESA.
This advertisement (BTW this isn't Bunch Family's first internship) is a great example of the day-to-day exploitation that occurs in Toronto's cultural industries. The intern was to have worked under Helen Spitzer, the senior editor at Bunch Family, who is also a prominent music journalist in Toronto; additionally, the intern would be helping with the monthly article in The Grid, a TorStar owned paper with its own problematic history with unpaid internships. This type of misclassification is quite common throughout Canada's media-landscape and is indicative of the widespread undervaluing of our cultural workers' labour.
There's a deeper trend at play that's very troubling, it relates to who gets the opportunity to participate in sectors of the economy that create Canada's cultural history. Be it an internship at Bunch Family, The Grid, or The Walrus - there's an unstated WASPy subtext at work that demands applicants: look like us, talk like us, and be from money. If you look at the mainstream media in Toronto the city's diversity isn't reflected; there's a profound lack of racialized perspectives, differing socio-economic insights, and countless other viewpoints. Internships of this sort contributes to exclusionary conditions where historically marginalized groups are denied the opportunity to fully participate in key institutions in Canadian society and face structural glass ceilings that aren't easily broken. The alienating and socially exclusionary nature of internships can be easily characterized as an emerging form of cultural apartheid that strikes at the heart of democracy, equality, and diversity.
If you want to read more about this issue, take a look at this great article from Briarpatch Magazine; this article from storyboard.ca discussing internships in the cultural sector; and, this wonderful article from Alexandra Kimball talking about how to succeed in journal when you can't afford an internship. Finally, here's Christian Lander telling the world why White folk love unpaid internships, see:

Rocky Prolight Steel Toe Boots
- Model #: FQ0006577
Rugged comfort and support for any outdoor activity - from logging trees to logging miles on the hunting trail!
These Rocky ProLight steel toe insulated boots work & play as hard as you do - they're destined to become your "go to" boots!
You just won't find a better boot at a better price. You can count on these Rocky boots to offer the protection you need in the most harsh conditions. They feature a durable waterproof design to keep you dry in wet, sloppy conditions plus an ASTM certified steel toe. You can wear them as an electrical hazard boot too. Also features full grain leather upper for comfort & long wear, a ProLight oil-resistant rubber outsole with aggressive tread for sure footing, an air-port cushion footbed that circulates air with every step & 400 gram Thinsulate insulation to keep your feet warm. Mens size 8.5
4/24/2012 - RWC - Escondido, CA
I purchased a pair of the Rocky ZProlight Steel Toe Boots three months ago. For the price they are spectacular!! The quick lace feature is far better than work boots that have eyelets or hooks, which frequently cut into the lacings. The construction of the sole provided me with the shock absorbtion I need when walking or working on the job. No more back aches because of a rock hard sole/heal. The thinsulate provides a very comfortable feel, I thought my feet may get too hot because of my familiarity with Ski-outerwear that uses thinsulate to keep a person warm. No way my feet stay cool, don't overheat. Truly a great work boot you can wear all day. Thanks!
