		<description>Hmm, didn&#039;t notice a reply, quite after the fact, sorry :-/

Also, I was of course messing. The whole goal of diet fads is to sell &quot;glamour&quot;, hence all the celebrity endorsements.

I was just concurring that there aren&#039;t any shortcuts and good diet+regular exercise are the only real way to go about it. No matter how dull it is, it&#039;s that simple and a quick-fix fad isn&#039;t going to change your life long-term.</description>

		<description>Actually I didn&#039;t make any mention of protein or recommended a daily amount of water in the article at all. Not to mention the complete lack of staircase related commentary.
I did, however, state that complex carbs are good.

And spending lots of money on the latest, unproven fad supplement is &quot;glamorous&quot;? Nobody ever said a healthy life style would be cool or glamorous and I never implied it would be.</description>

Back to the whole veggies+protein are good, carbs are bad and simple sugar is worse &amp; drink at least a litre of water a day and take the stairs instead of the lift idea then. 

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame and not very glamorous either ¬.¬</description>

		<description>As a sceptic and one of the strange morlock people I would say that there&#039;s a lot of diversity in how museums choose to deal with their collection display etc. Partly it will be down to available funding and partly it will be down to how much control of direction is maintained by curators and how much by designers.

A common problem for museums engaging on big refurbishment projects is that they have a grant and a short time scale, so designers are drafted in who have prior experience in museums and often the refurbishment becomes a reflection of the previous projects those designers have worked on, tweaked to fit a different space.

There is also the issue of museology emerging as a discipline worthy of consideration in its own right. This brings social history to any type of collection, allowing old museum displays and interpretation to be examined as a reflection of the broader social context of the time at which it was developed.</description>
