I will fully admit my not always clear hyperbole of WoW "being" an Esport, it's just my personal shortcut to define the highly competitive mindset (in PVE and PvP) WoW is based on, and totally just a nickname for me.
I do not believe WoW is an Esport. It does often seem to be the "Eport of MMOs", but that's just me being metaphorical. :)

This set of criteria was archived on 5 October 2012 as part of our Transformation Programme.
Principles of regulatory decision-making, approved by the SRA Board, provide a set of standards applicable to decisions. The principles are supported by guidelines. The principles and guidelines are written, accessible to all staff and published on the website.
The reasons given by a decision-maker will normally include specific criteria applicable to the decision. SRA Policies relevant to decision-making are reflected in the criteria.
The example below is illustrative and does not set any type of precedent. Each matter is considered on its own facts and merits.
An overseas lawyer makes an application for a Certificate of Eligibility under the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Regulations 1990, Regulation 10, and pays the relevant fee of £400. The applicant requests exemption from having to gain any further experience requirement.
As an overseas lawyer they are required to demonstrate two years work experience; at least one year must be gained in the law of England and Wales, within an organisation regulated by us or have been under the direct supervision of a solicitor admitted in England and Wales. The remaining time (up to one year) may be gained in their own common law jurisdiction.
The individual supports the application with two 'Evidence of experience' forms completed by the supervisor from the two firms in which the work experience has been gained. The forms demonstrate the applicant has gained both contentious and non-contentious experience in three distinct areas of law. Eight months has been gained in a common law jurisdiction and the remaining 16 months was at a London based law firm under the supervision of an admitted solicitor of England and Wales. Both firms provide a covering letter confirming the detail of the experience gained. The applicant has worked on a full time basis.
We are satisfied the application is supported with sufficient information and verification to justify an exemption from the requirement to gain any further period of practical experience. A certificate of eligibility is granted with a requirement for the applicant to sit and successfully pass the relevant heads of the Test.
The SRA Training Regulations, which regulate your two-year period of training to become a solicitor, changed as of 1 July 2014.
Choose this option if your training commenced on or after 1 July 2014. You will qualify under the Training Regulations 2014.
Choose this option if your training commenced before 1 July 2014. You will qualify under the Training Regulations 2011.

One problem I've found with TrueCrypt in within our particular setup appears to be related to roaming profiles.
One feature of TC is the ability to set Favorites. This allows you to have TC try to mount favorite file containers. This means the user doesn't have to find the container/partition manually. This works fine except on our laptops when not connected to the domain. It appears that TC stores it's favorite information in Documents & Settings and cannot find the info it needs when offline. Since the main reason for using TC is to encrypt data being transported away from the network, this is pretty annoying.
Has anyone else come across this and solved it?

I admit it...I watch every single episode of ZapRoot. I don't generally share with the EcoGeek crowd, maybe because I'm ashamed of my half-crush on Jessica, or maybe because there's not always a lot of technology mixed in with the fashion / culture angle.
But I had to share this. There is no more comprehensive listing of green Valentine's day possibilities than this. To see links to all of the dozens of roguelephant.com mentioned websites and buy propecia pills products (not to mention a bunch of other episodes) head to Viropop.com.

Now that's country—on the other side of the planet."
Abigail Washburn; singer-songwriter, City of Refuge
Cari Cucksey
"There is nothing better than broken-in boots, bargains, and bringing something old back to life. Always try to see the beauty under the surface and repurpose."

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes across the globe to weigh in on the most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
BLOGTABLE: Rose's comeback | The U.S. vs. the world | The NBA's offseason
> Nobody seems all that worried about Derrick Rose, even after an abysmal (statistically speaking) FIBA World Cup tournament. Are you? Why or why not?
Steve Aschburner, NBA.com: I'm based in Chicago, so yeah, I'm worried. Or rather, I'm surrounded by worry. Bulls fans legitimately wonder if Rose will be able to withstand a full schedule, if he'll be his old self on the court (or 96 percent, anyway) and – gasp! – what the contingency plan is if he can't or isn't. They worry they'll end up commiserating with Washington NFL fans over their own Robert Griffin III — a meteor-like star who flashes across their sky but falls to Earth too soon. Then again, there is a "rust" factor in play and Rose didn't stick around long enough last season to entirely work through it. There, is my brow sufficiently unfurrowed?
Jeff Caplan, NBA.com: You have heard of rust, right? The guy was rusty. He didn't have his shot. He's spent practically two years rehabbing two separate knee injuries instead of playing. Check back around the All-Star break and let's see where he's at. The biggest positive was that he seemed to be moving well, had a burst, and that's what's key. He played, as far as I could tell, with relative abandon, he wasn't hesitant to cut or jump. So, again, hit me up around the All-Star break.
Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com: Whatever worry I have — and I don't think "worry" is the right word — has nothing to do with the World Cup statistics. I don't care about his shooting percentage in September. This is a guy coming back after missing a majority of games two seasons in a row. How does the knee feel? How does it respond to playing two games in a row? Is Rose able to burst to the rim? That's what matters. And that's why the World Cup, including the exhibitions in North America and the practices along the way, should be viewed as a positive, not a worry.
John Schuhmann, NBA.com: I don't buy the theory that the FIBA ball was the primary reason he shot 1-for-19 from 3-point range, but I still wouldn't be concerned about his numbers. Playing limited minutes as the back-up point guard, he didn't have much of a chance to get into a rhythm in any of those games. And he knew that running the offense and playing aggressive on-the-ball defense were his primary duties. The key takeaway is that he got some full-speed games under his belt and moved further along in the process of getting back to being All-Star Derrick Rose than he would have if he didn't play with the national team.
Sekou Smith, NBA.com: The first thing you have to do is ignore those statistics from the FIBA World Cup. They don't translate to the NBA for a number of reasons, the most important being the fact that playing that limited time we saw from Rose in Spain is completely out of the question in Chicago. That rust Rose was working to knock off during the World Cup will go into hyperdrive once the Bulls kick off training camp. Rose wasn't in Spain to show off or to try to get it all back at once. He was playing a role, nothing more and nothing less, and using his time there to round into game ready NBA shape. So no, I'm not particularly worried about Rose based on what I saw from him in Spain. If anything, he looks at least physically ready to return to form. He has plenty of time to sharpen his touch and get his timing down with his Bulls teammates. Plus, Tom Thibodeau was there every step of the way as a U.S. assistant and spoke to us regularly about Rose. If he's not worried, I'm not worried.
Lang Whitaker, NBA.com's All Ball blog: Considering how much time he's missed the last two seasons, I'm not worried about Rose's timing being while off playing with people he's never played with before, or shots that usually go down not going in, or his aggressiveness wavering throughout the tournament. What I was more focused on were those flashes of the old D-Rose — him tipping passes on defense, leading fast breaks, storming his way through traffic to the rim. I suppose it's a half-full, half-empty type of thing. Call me an optimist, but I think he's still on the way back, and he'll get there if we give him time.
Simon Legg, NBA Australia: I'm not worried, the main thing is that he made it through unscathed. There's going to be some growing pains with this recovery period and I'm sure Bulls fans are pleased that the majority of those were on display for Team USA. Yes, he averaged just 5.4 points on 27.3 percent shooting, including 1-for-17 from 3-point range, but he wasn't playing the pivotal role that he will with the Bulls. The guy hasn't suddenly lost the ability to play, he's just dealing with a few minor issues as he works his way back to full confidence. There were enough little highlights in there to show that he hasn't lost any of his athleticism, don't worry Bulls fans, things will be OK.
Adriano Albuquerque, NBA Brasil: FIBA and NBA are two very different games, and Rose's job description with the Bulls is also a lot different from his duties with Team USA. I'm optimistic his time with the national team was a step in the right direction. Not losing any more games is the goal with him.
Karan Madhok, NBA India: Let me answer this one by taking us back to 2010, when Derrick Rose played in the 2010 FIBA World Championship, and statistically speaking, wasn't anything amazing, even though the USA won the tournament. A few months later, he began the season that eventually became his finest, and by the time the 2010-11 calender concluded, he had become the NBA's youngest-ever MVP. Now, I'm not saying that a tough World Cup performance equals an impressive NBA season, and circumstances are obviously different now since Rose is starting the 2013-14 season coming off of two lost years. But I am saying that we shouldn't judge a player like Rose from the World Cup. This was true in 2010, and this is especially true now, since unlike his other USA teammates, he used the tournament as a way to get back into the shape and rhythm required for high-level basketball. I'm not worried about Rose — on the contrary, I'm optimistic that he made it out of the World Cup without breaking down and will now head into the regular season with much-needed basketball exposure.
Stefanos Triantafyllos, NBA Greece: It's true that Derrick Rose didn't have a solid overall tournament and only showcased glimpses of his talent. But, he didn't have either the role or the space to do more for his team. In Chicago he will have the ball in his hands and can then remind us more of his old self. I'm not worried about his peaks, I'm worried about his valleys, as John Wooden used to say. The knee injuries may not affect his game, but they have affected the time he needs to rest after matches. So, stability is the real test for him.
Max Marbeiter, NBA Germany: Worried? Not at all! You have to keep in mind that the guy has been out for almost two seasons. So there is a lot of catching up to do. I think what really mattered in Spain was not the way he played, it was the fact that he played. Every single game. For a guy with Rose's injury history the schedule was tough, nevertheless he did not sit out one single contest and played without any sign of soreness or problems with his knees. That should be encouraging. And it is. Of course Rose's game needs a lot of polishing before the playoffs start. Yes: the playoffs. Because you can be sure, he won't be there from day one of the regular season. He has not found his rhythm yet, is not really capable of controlling the pace. Offensively he made some wrong decisions; the shot selection was not too good either. But I guess, after two years of absence, that doesn't come as a surprise. The two weeks in Spain allowed Rose to regain confidence in his body, to get used to serious competition again. I think that's everything anybody could ask for. So again: I'm not worried at all.
Guillermo García, NBA Mexico: I believe that he will reach his best level by the start of the season.
Juan Carlos Campos Rodriguez, NBA Mexico: For me, doubts about Derrick Rose's performance continue. It seems the Bulls player still has a certain fear about his physical potential, and thus limits his own talent — the talent that once led him to become an MVP. During the tournament, he wasn't the player we knew. The old Rose never hesitated when attacking the rim and, above all, used to be explosive and aggressive whenever he touched with the ball. And we did get a couple hints that Rose wasn't quite himself (yet), when Coach K did not want to overwork or overexpose the Bulls star too early in USAB camp. This provokes great doubts for me in a season where the Bulls have invested so heavily to surround him with talent. However, if he fails to regain that confidence and hasn't fully recuperated from his injury, it's tough to see great times ahead.

"Please raise your child to be a fine human being."
Awesome introduction in my violin lesson book by Shin'ichi Suzuki urging parents to provide a musical environment for their developing children. He says we learn our mother language in infancy with ease, so we know our children are at least capable of that, so why would we hold them to any less of a standard? They can learn music just as easily if nurtured properly. This concept is not new to me but it's putting it in a new light. I think this journey is going to be more than just learning a physical technique, it's going to be a mental, emotional and spiritual journey as well. Creativity spawns creativity which I've already been experiencing. Starting a blog like this is not something I would normally do, and I already have so many ideas! Like I said before, 2012 is the year of doing something.
I went through a few more pages in my book today and learned the rest of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star by ear. I tried learning that classical violin song (Dun, dun Dun, dun Dun dun Dun dun DUN!) but Praveen was having a hard time concentrating on work so I had to stop. I'm really feeling this coming naturally to me and I just hope I'm not deluding myself.
How I'm feeling: Like this is going to take me to the next level in several aspects of my life. It's already opening up different centers in my brain. I can feel it, and it feels good.

Aquariums traditionally have really been much like zoos, you know, menageries. They really began as a collection of exotic animals just for people's kind of recreational interests -- for their curiosity, if you will.
Today the aquarium community is really dedicated to a science, education and conservation mission, if you will. I think it starts not only, again, connecting people with the animals but telling the stories about the status of these animals in the wild: what their trajectory is, how humans interact with that.
Aquariums together reach hundreds of millions of visitors around the world. They also run vast public education and K-12 education programs that reach a lot of kids. I mean, just here at our aquarium, and we're in a relatively small community of Monterey, we have something like 80,000 school kids that come every year with their teachers, and the global aquarium community reaches far more. There are many aquariums in Japan, many in Europe, a great aquarium in Cape Town, South Africa. The aquariums of the world are really, I think, a force for educating the world's youth about the ocean, and why they should fall in love with it, and how they can connect with its future.
John O'Sullivan Curator of Field Operations, Monterey Bay Aquarium
Where many of us can go to a national park or to a safari, and as you go further away from your home the costs increase, but you can see these things. You can see a coyote on a walk in your neighborhood.
For people to learn how to see the ocean, the marine environment, will generally take the will of first knowing how to swim or getting dive certified, and there are costs and fears and cultural challenges with that aspect. We bring -- and to be quite honest with you, our kelp forest exhibit is a wonderful example of how we can bring over a million people to view a kelp bed. We would not want a million people diving off the aquarium in that kelp bed, because just that exchange would be detrimental to that ecosystem.
We are bringing them something that they can appreciate, become awed and look at without the challenges of getting wet.

Are you a bigot if you are biased against bigots?
Have you been told that you need to respect other people's right to be disrespectful?
If you turn up to counter-protest the, hmm, [insert diplomatic word here] from the Westboro Baptist Church or participate in Anti-racist actions, are you indeed intolerant of intolerant people?
Is it even a legitimate concept?
(I'm only leaving it open for 2 weeks in case it crosses into scary territory,)

Thomas Jones 100+Sep 3 2011: Copied, and slightly modified, from:
An "enthusiast" displays an intense and eager interest in something (: a sky-diving enthusiast).
A "fanatic" is not only intense and eager but possibly irrational in his or her enthusiasm; fanatic suggests extreme devotion and a willingness to go to any length to maintain or carry out one's beliefs (: a fly-fishing fanatic who hired a helicopter to reach his favorite stream).
A "zealot" exhibits not only extreme devotion but vehement activity in support of a cause or goal (: a feminist zealot who spent most of her time campaigning for women's rights).
An "extremist" is a supporter of extreme doctrines or practices, particularly in a political context (: a paramilitary extremist who anticipated the overthrow of the government).
But it is the "bigot" who causes the most trouble, exhibiting obstinate and often blind devotion to his or her beliefs and opinions. In contrast to fanatic and zealot, the term bigot implies intolerance and contempt for those who do not agree (: a bigot who could not accept his daughter's decision to marry outside her religion).
So, I guess if you are biased against bigots, you are not really a bigot, unless you are intolerant and contemptuous of those who are not also biased against bigots.
QUOTE: "Have you been told that you need to respect other people's right to be disrespectful?"
No. But I was once called dogmatic because I suggested science could disprove particular passages contained in a Holy book. (Apparently, I hold a dogmatic belief in science. Who knew?)
Gisela McKay 30+Sep 3 2011: I like this.
It has always seemed transparent to me that when people say things like "you are not tolerant of my right to hold (and express) my opinion" (usually involving their superiority over "lefties", blacks, immigrants, whoever) they really aren't making a plea for you to be tolerant, just hoping to trip you up in their pseudo-logic as pertains your "hypocrisy".
Despite the transparency, it's really hard to succinctly point out the reason their logic disintegrates.
I think this works.

Sep 4 2011: We see only what we know. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Like all "pithy sayings" this one has its limitations but it is actually very applicable - cognitively, psychologically, even physically.
It is even practical in its application. There is a "rule of thumb" in advertising: If you are introducing a new idea or product, your target market must see or hear the message about 14 times before it will "register." Before then, it is not "seen or heard."
Colin Blakemore and Grahame Cooper raised kittens in environments that had, either, only horizontal or vertical visual stimuli (stripes) - Kittens raised with only vertical stripes were never able to "see" horizontal stimuli. For example, they would walk into a stair, rather than ascend it, and so on.
Apparently, we only see what we know.
Sep 4 2011: yeah, we can elaborate on it. here we go:
"we see only what we know" is a denial of learning. another obviously false statement, which somehow strikes the audience as deep.
this kind of "entertainment" wisdom is called "deepity" by dan dennett. deepity by definition is a phrase that has two meanings. one of them is true, but trivial and obvious. the other is very profound, but false. the mind first contemplates the first meaning, confirms its validity, then it grasps the deeper meaning, and wow, shock sets in.
constructing such deepities is kind of expected from an artist. it is part of the job. however, citing such deepities in a serious context is an error.
Sep 4 2011: Not knowing doesn't seem to stop you from having an opinion.
Now, lest I break a rule: Is there anything you would like to explain?
Is there some reason you feel Goethe and Plotinus might have gotten it all wrong?
Or does it all come down to the fact that you "can't find any meaning to it?"
Sep 4 2011: QUOTE: ""Like can only apprehend like" - denies the possibility of being a good person by choice"
QUOTE: "We see only what we know" - is a denial of learning"
No, it's actually one of the foundations of teaching, and therefore, of learning: Start with something "known" and expand, extend, and extrapolate. It is also why we use metaphor.
Thomas Jones 100+Sep 4 2011: Why two?
Don't worry Krisztián - I don't really see it as my job to understand you.
So this is what we have so far:
You have an opinion, well two, really:
1) Like can only apprehend like" - denies the possibility of being a good person by choice. And:
2) "We see only what we know" - is a denial of learning.
And they are based on ... your opinion. (And they might be countering the dreaded deepity!)
We also have two, relatively low-tier philosophers, Goethe and Plotinus, who have expressed a dissenting opinion.
Advantage: Krisztián (I mean they're dead and things may have changed.)
Now, we have research from education, marketing, and psychology (Blakemore and Cooper, 1970) that weighs in in favour of ... Goethe and Plotinus ... and advantage is ... OMG ... it's Krisztián.
He has pulled out a surprise victory ... it's the classic shot: "i believe these are quite clear." Virtually unassailable.
I resign.
Sep 4 2011: Argumentum ad verecundiam. You do realize that "appeal to authority" is a class of logical fallacies, right? Goethe may have been amazing, but it does not automatically make everything he says correct.
As I already pointed out, the limitation of that first claim is that it implies that we cannot correctly infer intent - even in the face of explication.
Aug 24 2011: I had to mull this one over for a moment because while it is instinctively incorrect, I wanted to actually come up with why.
A secondary effect of this argument would be that the recipient of bigotry would only recognize it as bigotry if he himself was also a bigot. Effectively, you are claiming that if you aren't a bigot, you wouldn't understand when someone walked up to you and called you whatever ethnic slur befits your background.
That seems more like the inability to parse the intent of the person speaking the slur, which would a neurological failure (perhaps mirror neurons not firing, or something amiss in the communications centre) rather than a superior moral or other character aspect.
It would almost imply that people on the Autism spectrum are superior.
Sep 4 2011: QUOTE: "Argumentum ad verecundiam. You do realize that "appeal to authority" is a class of logical fallacies, right?"
I do. (And you will note - the authorities "lost" the round.)
QUOTE: "Goethe may have been amazing, but it does not automatically make everything he says correct."
I agree. And I do not accept everything he says as correct - in fact, I disagree with much of what he says. However, in this case, I think experience, and research, in education, commerce, and psychology, trump authority (but not opinion - in this particular instance, with this particular person, at this particular time. And I don't mean Goethe.)
QUOTE: " ... the limitation of that first claim is that it implies that we cannot correctly infer intent - even in the face of explication."
It is an interesting question. How would one infer intent in the face of explication - what would the process be?
Sep 4 2011: Consider, first, without explication:
A developmentally delayed child being bullied by neighbourhood children.
Like meeting unlike - but understanding fully the emotional import of the words, even without understanding the specific words. Adding the understanding of the specific words is simply further undermining the premise.
One does not need to feel hate to understand that others do.
Sep 5 2011: First we have words for people, even before the emotions. Then objects, and not having children of my own, I cannot guess if emotion or concepts are next (the first two I have observed with friends' kids).
I'm not even sure at what point kids fully understand the word, but I would suspect the best way to figure it out would be to work backward - through an understanding of intelligence, and through a (parallel?) understanding of hierarchy.
Sep 5 2011: QUOTE: First we have words for people, even before the emotions.
This depends, to a degree, on culture. As far as I know the "first word" almost all of us learn is a noun - Ma Ma. Once we get past that, there is a "divergence."
"Western" kids typically learn more nouns. "Eastern" kids learn more verbs with an implied emphasis on relationship.
If you are game, take an "emotion word" and, as you suggest, work backwards until you find its root in your own psyche. This is not about etymology; it's about finding how we assign meaning to our own "primordial" emotion words.
I found the exercise edifying.
EDIT: By the the way, though this might sound like an exercise out of the Esalen Institute (and might even have residual benefits befitting a new age retreat) my intention was simply to find out how we imbue words with meaning.
Sep 6 2011: It's amazing how many of them seem to involve cues from other people. Their facial expression.in specific.
Mirror neurons, the area in the brain that allows even the blind (those with impaired visual cortices or routes to that area of the brain) to detect emotion on the faces of those who are present, this is something that is very hard-wired in us.
How much is learned vs instinct?
Sep 6 2011: QUOTE: "Do you actively recall things before that point?"
Before 18 months?
I'm not exactly sure ... even the 18 months is a guess. (I wasn't keeping a journal at that time!)
I suspect my earliest memory is actually at about six months or so.
I was hospitalized for most of the first five years of my life. The medical treatment I received was ... traumatic. The environment was extreme. As a result, I have vivd memories.
Not all of them "bad" - gifts I received, the boy in the next bed (he died I was told later in life,) and so on. But there are a "deeper" set of memories that are harder to define; they were established when I was pre-verbal so they are not "word-pictures." It is these memories - "experiences" is probably a better word - that are at the foundation of my cognition.
Aug 24 2011: a person is not measured by the amount of tolerance or respect he/she shows. but rather if his/her tolerance is well placed. respecting an evil concept is just as bad as not respecting a perfectly valid concept.
another question is manners. one might argue that even if you don't respect other people's views, you must talk in a polite way. but politeness is part of etiquette. it is similar to rules like don't swear, don't go to a wedding in jogging and tennis shoes. it is not a central issue in a debate. if someone starts to talk about such things too much, we can safely assume that this person is out of arguments on the real issue, and just drops in a red herring.
Aug 28 2011: Question itself is somewhat irrelevant and baseless, and answer itself is obvious. If your opinions are based on evidence while theirs are not , answer is yes you are a bigot by definition, but your bias is perfectly justified, as they are wrong. If your opinion differentiates from reality then your bias is unjustified and you are still a bigot, but in error.
tishe Hires 10+Aug 25 2011: Aww come on!! A bigot is a bigot! A human accepts another human or that human does not! No wonder the world is going tits up. We are discussing manners? We all have RED blood. We are all still kicking the bucket because of famine, etc., etc.,! Do not let me get started on religion! "Procrastination",,, welcome to the world! With respect to your masters thesis! Good luck @ Matthieu!!

Aug 24 2011: but nothing would socially change if we banned the WBC. and WBC could care less if every person inthe entire world said they do not agree with what they do. its just hate fo rthe sake of hate, becuase its not mention in there book to do the things they do. i honestly think they would stop if everyone just tunred there back and stoped pointing cameras at them
Aug 24 2011: If you say that you're opposed to homophobia, most (sensible) people would see that as a good thing. If you say that you're opposed to religion partly because of its homophobic views (although the list of bigotry is much longer), all of a sudden people tell you that's discrimination. Somehow institution-driven bigotry is ok and should be respected. Not sure why.
Aug 24 2011: because you are allowed to to the craziest things in order to be a good member of your tribe. actually, you are expected to do everything for your tribe. so this is an excuse. i know it is crazy, but my tribe is such, what can i do?
you know, it is hard to tell it to someone who fell between two tribes :)
Aug 24 2011: I have wondered about this myself. Having been raised Catholic (and having run screaming from the logical inconsistencies), I've encountered this argument several times.
I have only come to one conclusion: maintaining a place within the structure requires such a massive suspension of disbelief and logic that they are perfectly capable of holding two diametrically-opposed concepts in their minds at one time - and they can't understand why others don't.
You are both probably too young to get the reference to Star Trek (TOS) but I keep waiting for them to have a breakdown like one of Harry Mudd's femmebots once they start processing the logical ramifications.
Aug 24 2011: Gisela, I must confess, I didn't used to watch Star Trek because of the fact that I'm a die-hard Star Wars fan (a really religious attitude I'm not proud of now), but I've recently started watching the original series. Seeing as I've only just started season 2, I know exactly what episode you're talking about.

Aug 24 2011: "A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs."
so i think you can disagree with a bigot and not be a bigot. to disagree would lead me to assume that you thought about it, and then came to a conclusion. a bigot wouldnt, once they heard your opinion and heard it was not of there own, they would immediatly begin the shit storm of hate.
Aug 25 2011: I can't say that I ponder the merits of racist, sexist, what-have-you remarks when someone makes them in my presence, and then make a decision on it. I'm pretty sure that 'animosity' would indeed describe my feelings toward the people spouting said belief.
I'm pretty obstinate and intolerant about not letting people get away with that crap in my presence as well. (In a business setting I have pointedly walked out of the room rather than just go off on someone - but it's had the same effect.)
If the definition were a checklist, that would be "check. check. check." Does it make a difference whether it's a conscious decision to be that way? As in, I can't really expect other people to speak up about crap happening in their presence if I don't do it myself.

Go big or go home.
Bob Halvorsen and the rest of the talent seekers picking bands for the 2013 Thunder Bay Blues Festival went with Option 1, lining up Collective Soul, Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys and Great Big Sea to headline the summer music staple taking place from July 5-7 at Marina Park.
The eclectic quartet continues the festival's diverse musical selection said Trevor Hurtig, the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium's manager of marketing and development.
"Yeah, we really went out to try to do something different for everybody this year. We really wanted to stay within the demographic of what Blues Fest is known for, but at the same time, go a little bit beyond and try to bring in some new people that traditionally may not have come down to Blues Fest, but kind of looked with curiosity and thought it might be worth a try," Hurtig said.
"We're sure that if you come for Great Big Sea, you're going to have a great time with The Family Stone (minus Sly) and Kim Mitchell."
Los Lobos came as a package tour with Los Lonely Boys, who thrilled the Blues Fest crowd in 2009, and Hurtig said to expect a pile of collaborations as the two bands mix and mingle on Day 2 of the 12th annual festival.
"It was a great opportunity. We know that Los Lonely Boys are good because they were here two years ago. We've heard fantastic things about Los Lobos, so the idea they could play together was great," Hurtig said.
"Apparently they're going to intermingle the bands a little too, so that's going to be exciting as well."
Los Lobos, slated to headline Saturday, July 6, may be best known to casual music fans as the group that redid the classic Mexican folk song La Bamba, made famous by the doomed Ritchie Valens. But the Chicano rockers have made a name for themselves and the global music stage several times over.
Late last year they opened for Neil Young and Crazy Horse on their North American tour. The East Los Angeles foursome has also won multiple Grammy Awards, over the course of a career that spans four decades.
Nineties rockers Collective Soul will set the stage for the rest of the weekend on Friday, bringing hits like Shine, The World I Know and Gel, songs that still reverberate on classic-rock radio stations throughout North America, to the Marina Park stage.
No strangers to Thunder Bay, the Georgia band formed in 1992 and within years was racing up the charts to superstardom. Great Big Sea has played the Auditorium several times too, and will close out the festival on July 7.
Hurtig said having known names on the bill was done partially on purpose.
"When you're spending a fair amount of money on these acts for festival time, you want to make sure what you're going to get," Hurtig said.
"On the other hand it was just sort of chance that they were the ones we were able to get within our budget and it worked out really well."
Even the undercard has a familiar flavour.
Rocker Kim Mitchell, who shed his trademark lengthy locks a few years ago, will dust off his collection of hits, including Go For a Soda and Patio Lanterns, ushering summer into the Bay for good.
Other Sunday acts include locals Revel Pride, Doug Deming and the Jewel Tones, Too Slim and the Taildraggers, JW-Jones Blues Band, Davina and the Vagabonds and The Family Stone, the penultimate act of the three-day festival.
Saturday highlights include The Chain, the Groove Merchants, Quinn Sullivan, Melvin Taylor, Samantha Fish and Mingo Fishtrap.
The festival opens July 5 at 5 p.m. when Tracy K takes the stage, followed by Cliff Stevens and the Steepwater Band.
Tickets go on sale Friday and can be purchased at the Community Auditorium box office, by phoning 684-4444 or online at www.tbca.com.

Expert fangirling services since 1986.
I am 5'7" and I weigh 235 pounds. This puts me well into the obese category. I'd need to lose another 40 pounds to be classified as "overweight" by standard BMI calculations.
This picture was taken after I had just spent five hours hiking a rugged 8 miles around Lake Vesuvius in southeastern Ohio.
Look at me. Look at the shame, the self-disgust on my face. Look at how much I hate my life. Look at how unhealthy, how lazy, how sedentary I am. Look at how life is passing me by, trapped in my cocoon of disgusting fatness, never to experience life as "normal" people experience it. Look how unworthy I am of love and friendship and basic human empathy.
I have struggled all my life with my weight. I have taken some drastic measures to get where I am now. I did this for my health and my functionality in the world, not so I could wear sample sizes. I did not do it because I hated who I was, or how I looked. I did it because I love and respect myself, and I wanted better for ME. I do not owe the world a thin body in exchange for the honor of having it consider me worthy of its acknowledgment.
I am still obese, and when I take groups of women on hikes with my hiking club, I leave many of the "normal" sized ones in the dust.
People speak about an obesity epidemic as if it's an abstract set of circumstances, instead of a population of human beings who struggle with ourselves, the world, and the complicated relationship that all humans (not just us fat ones) have with food. We are the obesity epidemic. We are all different. Some of us need help. Some of us don't. Some of us WANT help, some of us don't. Some of us are in poor health. Some of us aren't. All of us struggle with the gaze of the world that tells us every day that we ought to just be grateful that we're allowed to co-exist with the normal people. We shouldn't want love, we shouldn't need sex, we should be content to be tolerated while we're made into a symbol of the evils of modern society. And if we dare show ourselves in public, we ought to be properly contrite, cowed, and filled with shame that others should be forced to actually look at us.
Don't like what you see? Look the fuck away. Or look at me in the picture above, and try to have some empathy for the obvious pain, suffering and self-loathing that most of the world imagines I ought to have, that surely I must have, being as obese as I am.
Girl, youre sexy. I dont care what the media thinks.

Bandits in northern Italy stole millions from an armored truck, then spread nails on the road to slow down police.
ROME — Bandits armed with Kalashnikovs stole an estimated $2.6 million Monday by setting a big-rig truck on fire to block a highway in northern Italy and then blowing open an armored truck, a company official said.
No one was injured in the heist, said Marco Meletti, a spokesman for the Gruppo Battistolli armored transport company.
Meletti told the Italian news agency ANSA that gunmen blocked two armored delivery trucks on a high-speed highway that leads toward Switzerland near the town of Saronno. Some news reports put the amount of booty at $13 million but Meletti denied that figure.
The gang set the rig on fire and used an explosive charge to break into one of the armored vehicles, Italian news reports quoted investigators as saying.
ANSA said the bandits, about 10 of them according to investigators, escaped by car after strewing nails on the road to slow down police. The escape cars were later found abandoned near a farmhouse.

Hot or Not? Coffin Shelves
4 Comments
We are not amused. If you have to explain it, then it doesn't work.
We quite like it. We are amused and pleased.
1. Simple, clean design
3. Practical
4. Not quite so "obvious" as a bed that transforms into a coffin. But if it were a cradle that spent time as a bookshelf and then did it's final duty as a coffin....then it would be symbolic as well. Or a furniture design pun. And we are almost always amused by a pun.
A few years back, ReadyMade had a plan for making a coffin out of Ikea bookshelves. We actually like these shelves better.
Although we are a writer (ROFL... we can't do this!) and it would be funny and fitting to be buried in a bookshelf, I intend to be an organ donor. Ultimate recycling, y'know.
I can't believe more people don't like these! They're awesome! I am highly amused.

The beautiful village of Veere is located on the edge of an inland lagoon, in the Zeeland region of Holland. With its cobbled streets, and old buildings, it is an ideal destination for anyone seeking to get away from it all and relax in a peaceful atmosphere. The best way to do this, is by staying in a holiday rental house in Veere, in order to experience life as one of the locals. Well decorated and comfortably furnished, it also includes a fully-fitted kitchen, meaning that it is not necessary to dine out for each and every meal.
With its excellent network of cycle routes and lanes, a holiday in Veere is ideal for anyone interested in cycling for both short and long distances. The land is famously flat in Holland, and so no nasty hills are experienced, although from time to time the wind may make it feel as though an uphill section has just been encountered! Other activities that are possible around the holiday rental house in Veere include fishing, golf, wind surfing, swimming, tennis and sailing.
After a disastrous flood in 1953, the area surrounding Veere was the centre of a project known as the Delta Project. Using a network of dams and dikes, land was reclaimed and protected, and islands connected by bridges. This is an excellent place to explore by bicycle, and provides some interesting photo opportunities. A few kilometres away from the self catering accommodation in Veere is the town of Middleburg, and this has a handful of worthwhile sights, such as the Gothic Stadhuis (town hall) and the Abdij complex which consists of three churches and two museums.
Veere has a temperate climate, which is influenced by the North Sea as well as by westerly winds. This means that summers are warm and winters mild. The best time to take a holiday in Veere is during the summer months, when the day time average temperatures measure above 20 degrees Celsius, and rarely fall lower than 13 degrees at night. This ironically coincides with heavier rainfall than the winter months, and 70mm per month can fall between June and August. During the winter, the day time average highs rarely exceed 7 degrees, and dip to 0 to 1 degrees at night. Frosts do happen from time to time, and it will snow on occasion.
The simplest way for travellers from the UK and other parts of Europe to reach their holiday rental house in Veere is to drive there. There are regular ferry services from the UK to Calais in France, from where it is a pleasant drive along the coast. The Chunnel also crosses into Calais, and many people prefer this quicker option. Whilst flying is possible, by the time a rental car and travel to the self catering accommodation in Veere has been sorted out, it may have been quicker to drive!

Perfect shade of light blue. Good stuffing too. Stitching great too
A Wonderful Pillow Pair for a Great Price
Anna from Chicago
I chose the paisley pair to complement the color scheme of my cinnamon-and-marigold living room. I was delightfully surprised with the size and sturdiness of the pillows. They will last a long time--even with my four cats sitting on them in addition to my guests--and their color scheme is just what I wanted. It was wonderful to have the chance to get two at a great price. My living room sofa looks so warm now.
Green pillows
Susan from Oregon, OH– Verified Buyer
Was disappointed in the color, decided to return them because they did not look nice with the other colors in the room. Otherwise the pillow seemed fine, just not the color.
As described
Coury from Louisiana– Verified Buyer
They seem to be fine. They seem to be as described. I got them in the blue and tan stripe. I have no complaints.
