Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I have been truly overwhelmed by the events of the last few days. As you probably already know, I had agreed to be a participant in the "Fix my Friend" competition for Project Runway. I anticipated a pampering experience wherein I would receive a makeover and have a new look designed just for me. Instead, I was humiliated and degraded for being a "plus size" contestant.
I kept dreading the day when the episode would be aired and the whole world could see me trying on belts that had been made for Twiggy. Since I was so mortified, I did not tell many people that I would even be on the show. I watched it at home with my husband and young children. Seeing the edited version of what had been filmed shed a new light on what had occurred. I was horrified to realize that my children (who I always try to teach to respect others), were now watching their mother being bullied on national TV. It was devastating! I want my daughters to grow up with healthy self images, regardless of what the media promotes as fashionable. I deeply regretted my decision to do the show.
However, since that time, there has been a tremendous outpouring of support from perfect strangers. They are outraged at the designer's comments and attitude towards me. I am so grateful for their kindness which is helping to rebuild my damaged self-esteem. I only wish I had the time to personally thank each one for their remarks and gestures.
It was disheartening to see that the judges on Project Runway did not send the offending designer home. Does this mean they condone his actions? Do they also believe that only rail-thin models are worthy of their attention?
As I begin to put my own embarrassment aside and look at the situation from other people's eyes, new questions pop into my head. Why aren't the sponsors' speaking up? The sponsors' offers an anti-aging product line, and very large selection of plus size women clothing. Do the network and sponsors believe in promoting tolerance or do they only care about ratings? (I know that controversy can be beneficial to them, but at what cost?) Why does the average woman compare herself to runway models to begin with? There are nationwide efforts to stop bullying. My experience is a prime example of adult bullying at its best. Bullying needs to stop, not just for children but for everyone!

This is what I was talking about the other day!
More than glad she spoke out and I'm also so HAPPY that people stood up for her too! This shit is NOT acceptable, not...

LondonUnited Kingdom EC1A 4DD
August 18, 2011
I'm a vegan for moral reasons. I don't believe veganism is a personal choice, but a moral obligation. I also try to avoid vegetable oil (palm oil) as it's contributing needlessly to the extinction of one of our evolutionary relatives, the orangutans, a vegan animal just like us.
Home made vegan pizzas or vegan carrot cake.
Loving Hut in Archway even tho it's junk food.
Eating meat is the natural order of things, blah blah blah
Just genuine friends, maybe someone special if I'm lucky and there is a sincere connection. I'm not keen on the socials as I've found them quite unfriendly and full of little cliques. If you like to get to know me and hangout (male or female, vegan or veggie leaning towards veganism), just give me a text on 07935 071 069 or just message me on here. Don't do facebook anymore, trivializes friendships imo
I'm Michael, a recent petroleum engineer graduate. Vegetarian 4 years, and Vegan 13 years for ethical/moral reasons, so altogether meat-free for 17 years. Work out regularly, and just a strong man with strong values.
it was nice to meet you too!! see you at a future event

I have already organised a few meetups on it. Most are free. Have a look and make a choice.
Hi Michael, Well since turning Vegan I have yet to meet another Vegan!!!! I am hopeful for 2013.
Hello! I've been vegan for about 8 months.. I had a vegan friend and I though she was crazy! I could not understand why she didn't consume any animal products.. That's why I decided to research a little bit about it.. And that was enough to make me realise all the pain I was causing..
Yeah, I heard about the festival! I might go there, but I'm not sure If I'll be able to go yet..

text: The Glion VI Colloquium departed from its customary transatlantic dialogue by broadening participation, including university leaders from around the world representing 18 nations and five continents, to consider the globalization of higher education. The emergence of a global, knowledge-driven economy is driven by a radically new system for creating wealth that depends upon the creation and application of new knowledge and hence upon advanced education, research, innovation and entrepreneurial activities. Both mature and developing nations are making major investments in building the knowledge infrastructure schools, universities, research institutes, high-tech industry, cyberinfrastructure, public policies and programmes - necessary to achieve prosperity and security in the knowledge economy. In parallel with these trends, there is a strong sense that higher education is also in the early stages of globalization, both through the increasing mobility of students and faculty, and the rapid growth in international partnerships among universities. Some even conjecture that we will soon see the emergence of truly global universities, which not only intend to compete in the global marketplace for students, faculty and resources, but also are increasingly willing to define their public purpose in terras of global needs such as public health, political, economic and environmental sustainability, and international development

Fourth day of styling the Dirk wig
Done! Well almost. I have to cut the side burns to my girlfriend's face, but other than that it's completed! I had a bit of a problem in the back where i took too much hair and exposed too much of the underworks of the wig, subsequently exposing the wig cap. But a few tweaks and it was fine.
This was quite an adventure.
oh my gods can I date your wig

MongoDB Transport for Mule ESB
New addition to Mule ESB the open source ESB:
The MongoDB transport allows you to insert and retrieve data from a MongoDB collection.
A MongoDB inbound-endpoint accepts a JSON query that is used to poll a MongoDB collection at the specified interval for results. The resultant message can then be processed by a component or routed to an outbound-endpoint.
The MongoDB outbound-endpoint inserts either Map or JSON data into the specified collection.
It's all about adoption.

Review by Dave Price
The basic premise in Yoot Tower is you are an entrepreneur with a few million dollars and a plot of good real estate. Your goal is to build the best darn tower you can and to build it as you see fit. This is an excellent simulation of managing a tower. This game is fun and can be mildly addictive. (Surgeon General's Warning: May Cause Slight Nervousness When Gill Bates Visits Your Tower.)
This game is more or less the unofficial sequel to the old Maxis game SimTower. Yoot Saito, who came up with the idea for a tower simulation has continued his work and Yoot Tower is the fruit of his labor. The similarities between these two games are quite extensive. You have a lot of the same types of structures to build, offices, condos, hotels, and shops. However, instead of placing a random type of restaurant or store, you can now choose the exact type of facility. Shall I build a French or a Mexican restaurant?
Compared to SimTower, Yoot Tower is a clear improvement. In this new game several rules have been change to make the reactions of the people living in your tower a little more realistic. A good example of this is when I built a large area of condos, they did not sell immediately like they would have in SimTower. Instead I had to wait for a particular time of year in which people felt like buying condos. A great feature that has been added to Yoot Tower is that of plug-ins. When your start a new tower, you have a choice of three types of towers to build: the traditional tower in Tokyo, a Hawaiian resort, or a resort on the Kegon Falls. In addition to these 'scenarios,' other plug-ins are being planned. Presently, the Yoot Tower web site says that they are planning a 'Statue of Liberty' plug-in. Another sort of plug-in used by the game is that of the individual types of facilities you can construct. When you get enough people in your tower, are approved by a critic-visitor, and your tower's status improves to more stars, you are allowed to build new types of facilities, or different facilities of similar types. For example you may be able to build a toy store, but when you get another star, you can build supermarkets too.
The graphics in Yoot Tower are very similar to those of SimTower, in fact so much so that you may actually forget and think you're playing SimTower. The game ran quite smoothly on my G3; however, I was mildly irritated when the game asked me to change my monitor to 256 colors. I was dismayed when the program failed to return my previous setting of colors when I quit. This almost leads me to think of the dating that must be associated with this. Most games today don't require you to change to 256 colors, and even then they at least change the colors setting back automatically.
The controls in this game are excellent. A useful feature I was glad to see was you can view the rent levels in your building without having to pause the game. This allows you to be able to go through and raise the rents, know where you've already raised them, and not have to go back and pause on occasion to make sure you didn't miss anything. (In SimTower, if you had to pause in order to view rent levels and whenever the game was paused, all the controls became grayed out.) The new layout of the menu bar I found to be very efficient in space while at the same time allowing the great diversity of facilities to build and reports to view.
Overall this is just a great tower simulation. If you still like to play SimTower once in a while (I still do) then I would recommend buying this game. (Until March 2 it's only $30!) The new features are well worth it. It'll add life to your life, and especially to those living in your towers. If you haven't ever played SimTower, then you have no excuse not to buy this game. And for all you old-school Mac users (like me) who firmly believe that PCs are the work of Satan, then you should check out this site: http://www.yootmacfirst.com/.
