That's neat, ChiKat.

I know, isn't it! They just did a major re-model and update to their radio and tv broadcasting facilities a couple of years ago and it's beautiful. Now, I just hope they can keep it. It just came out in the news that the district is having to cut 70 teachers.

The local news has been playing clips all morning of Mayor Daley delivering a righteous smackdown to Harrison Ford

I'll need to check that out when I get home!

Oxford cops reprimanded for tobogganing on riot shields

As the poster notes,

Hell, I'd rather have them tobogganing on the things than using them to beat up peaceful protesters at Climate Camp.

Plus, I'm all about adaptive reuse!

Sometimes I HATE the New York Times -- Size 12 is not fat!. Or so they've realized. Somehow it's not news.

The Style section is generally infuriating.

It did educate me to the fat fetishisation--I had no idea they were retouching images to make models look fatter, or having models wear padding. How weird. Hire bigger women! It's not like the ideals of thinness that can only exist in Photoshop.

Enh. The Project Rungay guys had a post about the V shoot along with the pics and people talked about how they touch up the big girls to make them look fat.

What makes me shrug is they show the "plus" models topless, with a focus on the rolls, when most women who are larger would rather focus on butt and boobs.

Heh. That reminds me of the Lost Underground Art Project. More pictures here.

Had an appointment to give blood this morning. Even though I'm much healthier than I was 6 months ago when last I tried, today my blood pressure was too high. Grump.

That reminds me--they're having a blood drive here at work today, but I'm on HBP meds, so I probably won't be able to give.
