Much like medical triage, conservation triage analyzes the risk posed to an object and the hazards associated with not taking immediate action. Triage conservators ask questions such as: Can the object be handled safely by staff and researchers? Will the degradation of the object continue if it is not treated immediately? What treatment can we …Continue Reading

The Setup: Review: Retrofitting Suburbia Part One: Strategy Part Two: New Urbanism and Parcelization Part Three: The Mother of All Impact Fees Extra: End Property Tax Collection in Arrears A lot of the discussion of sustainability in the suburbs revolves around New Urbanism.

Detroit Roundup
Jim Meredith, the man behind the excellent Archizoo site, wrote a thoughtful critique of my Detroit plan and offers up a plan of his own. He's even got his own cross-compare chart at the end. The Wall Street Journal just ran an interview with Mayor Dave Bing. I've been very impressed with Bing so far. He's starting to confront some of the core challenges of city government. The thing that most impressed me was that after being elected in a special election to replace Kwame Kilpatrick, he did not lay low, trying to avoid controversy, until … [Read more...]
The Safety Bogeyman
In order to implement any sort of major capital project that involves the use of federal funds, cities and states have to conduct an Environmental Impact Statement first. One of the things that is done as the first stage of this is to create something called a "Purpose and Need Statement". Few people really know or care what an EIS is, and even fewer recognize the importance of the Purpose and Need Statement. Any alternatives that are proposed for the project are to be judged by how well they meet the purpose and need of the project. So if … [Read more...]
A Plan for Detroit
The Bookings Institution published their plan for Detroit in a long article called "The Detroit Project: A Plan for Solving America's Greatest Urban Disaster" in the New Republic. I recommend checking it out. I've got to confess that I found it difficult to determine exactly what it is Brookings is recommending. They talked a lot about what worked elsewhere, but did not lay out a crisp set of recommendations for Detroit. For example, they talk a lot about the turnaround in cities like Turin and Bilbao, and some of the things those cities … [Read more...]
Replay: Invert the World
[ This post originally ran on October 12, 2008 ] "When I am weak, then I am strong" - II Corinthians 12:10I've always struggled with SWOT analysis (strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats). It seems to me that most situations can be viewed in multiple dimensions. Or, as the well known philosophical proposition puts its, everything implies its opposite.Consider the case of Eli Lilly in Indianapolis. It's obviously a huge strength of the city to to have a major life sciences company headquartered there. Lilly money literally built … [Read more...]
St. Louis: Gateway Arch Grounds Design Competition
Fresh off its success with City Garden, St. Louis is holding an open design competition to re-design the grounds around the Arch, even extending to the Illinois side of the river. For full details you can check out the official project web site. The competition is using a three stage gating system. This would seem to make it daunting for people without established big name reputations to win, but I'm sure they'll get plenty of interest. One of the items they care a lot about is the design philosophy of the team. In my view, this is … [Read more...]
A Midwest Megaregion?
This is the last installment in my series on megaregions. The first was Mega-Skepticism, an earlier take I had the was down on the concept. The second was a review of the book "Megaregions", edited by Catherine L. Ross. In this piece I am going to look for potential applications of megaregional geography to the Midwest. Since my blog is about cities, I'll primarily focus on the large urban aspects. While there is not a truly hierarchical relationship between cities in the Midwest, it is useful to think of it like a solar system. … [Read more...]
Midwest Miscellany
The Good News I thought I would lead off a few pieces of very good recent news. First, Louise Nippert donated $85 million to Cincinnati arts groups. $75 million of this goes to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, making it the largest gift in that institution's history and one of the largest to any orchestra anywhere. Also, the Indianapolis Regional Center Design Guidelines won the 2010 National Planning Excellence Award for a Best Practice from the American Planning Association. Columbus, Ohio won in the Best Practice for … [Read more...]
Randomly Quotable
Corine Mauch on Manufacturing in Cities Corine Mauch, mayor of Zurich, Switzerland, had this to say in Monocle Issue 25 when asked, "Do we need to bring back craft and manufacturing to our cities?" Cities are expensive locations, and so firms must be innovative instead of producing at the lowest costs. Besides the service sector, research and development as well as custom-built products are examples of industries that could remain within city borders. Nevertheless, diversity is important for a city and this includes craft and manufacturing. … [Read more...]
Review: Megaregions, Edited by Catherine L. Ross
"The long-term utility of the megaregion as a distinct planning scale is still unproven. Does the megaregional approach confront or evade the core planning issues of equity, democracy, livability, economic vitality, and design excellence? If Jane Jacobs old quip about a region being 'an area safely larger than the last one to whose problems we found no solution' remains cogent, then the current interest in megaregions represents either a logical territorial scaling up to match the rapid expansion of regions, or another attempt by stalwart … [Read more...]

Value for Money Collagen
5 个顾客认为以下的评论有帮助
RubiesHealth发表于 Jan 11, 2013
We have a local brand that sells the same thing in another name - collagen hydrolysate, and without glucosamine and MSM, for more than four times this price. It is touted as a cure-all for aches and pains. Generally, those who suffer from unexplained aches and pains could be having systemic yeast-overgrowth problem. When they replace their sugary-starchy drinks and snacks between meals with collagen (protein), they eradicate those yeast and find relief. This powder dissolves completely. It tastes great with carrot juice and fresh coconut water!

Peasants' Right to Seeds: A Solution to the Food, Climate and Biodiversity Crise

Seed Treaty meeting in Bali
(Jakarta, 3 March 2011) Seed farmers from all over the world, members of La Via Campesina, a global peasants' movement consisting of 150 member organizations in 70 countries and representing over 200 million peasants and rural workers, will participate in the Fourth Regular Session of the Governing Body of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (GB4ITPGFRA) that will be held in Nusa Dua, Bali, on 14-18 March 2011. During a series of meetings, seminars and events, they will represent seed farmers from all over the world who are the backbone of food production and the main creators and defenders of biodiversity.
Land grabbing is state banditry

World Social Forum TV | 8 February 2011
Interview with Ibrahim Coulibaly, member of CNOP Mali - La Via Campesina
Land grabbing is a problem that has accelerated since the food crisis of 2008. It has become an extremely serious problem in Mali where, in just a few years, we have seen almost 700,000 hectares ceded by the government to either foreign firms or foreign states or to so-called national investors.
What we need to understand is that this landgrabbing trend plays right into the line of neoliberal policies because it is about trying to make people believe that peasants cannot feed us. That was the message from governments after the food crisis, that we have to raise food production. But if that were true, I think it was those very same policies, implemented in our countries over the last 30 years by the World Bank and the IMF, that failed to let us feed our countries. And we're not going to solve the food problem by giving land to foreign interests. Especially since the food crisis proved that those countries which relied on the market for their food supply were left extremely vulnerable. So it really was the moment to strengthen local agriculture, invest in family farming, in order to produce more, or better yet, feed our countries.
Dakar Appeal against the land grab

We, farmers organizations, non-governmental organizations, religious organizations, unions and other social movements, gathered in Dakar for the World Social Forum 2011:
Considering that small and family farming, which represent most of the world's farmers, are best placed to:
- meet their dietary needs and those of populations, ensuring food security and sovereignty of countries,
- provide employment to rural populations and maintain economic life in rural areas, key to a balanced territorial development,
- produce with respect to the environment and to the conservation of natural resources for future generations;
Hard Struggle:Challenges of the peasant struggle in Mozambique
- Details
- Published on Friday, 11 February 2011 14:35
Land grabbing in Mozambique by transnational corporations, that hire rural workers who are not able to access lands to produce, is one of the issues that concern peasants of that country the most.
Real World Radio interviewed Jose Mateus, leader of the National Farmers Union of Mozambique, member of La Via Campesina, who is participating in activities at the World Social Forum in Dakar, Senegal.
Mateus regretted that many peasants of his country end up working for big agribusiness transnational corporations, because they don't have the support of the State to access lands. "We don't have finance (…) so peasants have to work for multinationals. They stop producing food for their families and go to work for one of these companies", said Mateus.

Debra and John and I lie on the blanket spread out between Stanyan Street and Needle Lake, where John sells his femora jewelry.
I hear good old-fashioned, electric San Francisco feedback pouring out of a tiny amp down the hill. Our new friend who calls himself Sketch, a self-described potaholic decked out in the classic seventies denim uniform, is doing the hippy flail down by the guitar player and his old lady who are older but still stunningly beautiful people. The guitar player backs a grinding riff with a mean reggae/blues howl:
"Minstrel beware o' Vanity Fair Poet don'cha heed siren o' the sea"
This turns out to be the guy's only lyric but he bites down on the vocal really well and noodles the fuzzy sound in luscious tones.
Then I see this faded poncho with hair gone the color of an old mop come bobbing up the hill, and he stops by our femora coven. His name is James or Jamie or something like that and we instantly recognize each other as equals beneath what's left of the sun. We desire conversation because we see that shine in each other so clearly, but attempting verbal conversation becomes utterly useless. He can't seem to make out the words to explain the distance he's traveled to reach here, and I don't seem to be able to shape them into something comprehensible. Looking into his steel gray eyes however, the answer comes so clear.
Baja? I think.
I don't know, he thinks back. Is that far?
I see a thousand miles in his pupils; I see Cabo and hundreds of handouts on hundreds of warm nights on warm beaches and not so warm nights beneath a levee or a broken bus stop or whatever holds up till someone comes to run you off. He doesn't do acid anymore. He doesn't need to, he's tripping all the time now; life next to the ocean will do that to a wanderer. Can he see the coyotes I once cavorted with in the Mojave? The shades and wraiths haunting the Valley of Fire?
Oh yes. His smile sees it all, clearly and right through me.
Deb and John watch the whole time; they hear our conversation as "yeah, 'cause you know man, it's just all like, all so totally fuckin' is what it is gonna be, you know man." And really, our conversation doesn't even sound that good. They laugh at us. Yet all I hear is a beckoning echo in his steely gaze.
You could do it to you know. It's all just one big beach between here and Chile, and the Incan ruins...you could go. You're smart enough, you're strong enough to start out on that journey right now and leave these sorry bitches behind right now. Isn't that what you really want? Isn't that all any of us who end up on this frontier want?
Visions of Macchu Picchu and the Nazca lines fade from my view into the wrinkles on James or Jamie's face. The sun is low and gold-orange through the Eucalyptus and Oak trees. Now I'm looking at a malnourished man, an old man not much older than me, and a smoky voice. James or Jamie has hooked up a freebie from Deb's pack of American Spirits and asks if I know where to get something to eat.
"The Krishna Temple is something like, three blocks down Haight and another four blocks up. They'll feed you, y'know, up to a certain time. I think you still have a couple hours or so."
He gets that wry knowing look that comes so easy to those with premature crow's feet.
"Yeah, wouldn't be the first time I've done some chanting. I can get off on it sometimes too, but at the end of the second day they start wantin' you to hang around y'know?"
Yeah, I do know. That's always the price isn't it? There's always the introductory offer. There are a thousand ways to turn Bohemian in this town, each with the same market value as the entrance to any monastery of your choosing. Entire lives are bound in tightly wound strategies; entire histories are displayed in tightly wound stances. You have a stance now that projects the exact same thing in ways that some of us can see and others of us cannot.
Wait; did I just say all that out loud?
Now he laughs at me. "I think that's a plan man. Thanks, that helps out a lot." I can tell he is sincere. And off he goes for the rest of this existence.
Debra and John stare at me; stupid acid grins pasted to their glazed mugs.
John starts pealing out guffaws. "Dude, you're a fuckin' freak!"
"I told you he was the real deal," Deb chides. I have no choice but to grin back at them sheepishly and tell them I think I have ESP.

Friday Roundup: Finding Wildness This Weekend
There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot. ― Aldo Leopold
Here's to finding some wildness this weekend. Happy Friday from Osprey Packs!
Prototype Testing Osprey Packs
One of the many benefits of our location here in Cortez, Colorado is year-round biking, hiking and backpacking. I can drive an hour and a half to test ski packs in Telluride or drive two hours and find myself in the canyons of southern Utah for a day hike or extended backpacking trip. The weekend before last, Osprey held a product testing trip. Eight sales reps from each region of the US were hosted by our CEO, Sales Director, Product Line Manager and myself.
Osprey Hydraulics Team Member Melinda Davie Comes Back To The Tahoe Sierra 100 Ultra Endurance Mountain Bike Race
Having a goal is a good way to start the day. I started Saturday September 11th with the goal to complete the Tahoe Sierra 100 Ultra Endurance Mountain Bike Race. I wasn't looking to do it in any time specifically, except that the organizer had put a limit of 14 hours on it. I attempted to do this event in 2009 and came very close but did not complete it. I learned a few things through that experience and after this past year of training, planning and competing in a few much shorter races I felt I was ready to tackle the event again.

Robin Williams' autopsy to take place on Tuesday
Robin Williams' autopsy to take place on Tuesday
The autopsy for Robin Williams is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 12, following the comedic actor's death on Monday at the age of 63. It's set to take place at the Marin County Coroner's Office in San Rafael, Calif.
While the cause of death is believed to be suicide by asphyxiation, he also recently entered a 12-step rehab stint for drug abuse, according to his publicist. His rep said that Williams had been battling depression as of late.
The Oscar winner was found dead in his home after the Marin County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call from Williams' house Monday. He was not breathing when paramedics showed up, and was pronounced dead at 12:02 p.m.
Williams was last seen alive Sunday night by his wife.

Marcin Gortat doesn't want to abandon 'sinking boat' in Phoenix
|Marcin Gortat says he doesn't want to feel like a loser. (Getty Images)
Marcin Gortat has been upset all season with his role and the fact that, you know, the Suns are terrible. He's been candid in his comments. But despite all that, the Suns center recently told CSN New England that he doesn't want a trade. Well, kind of.
It's more that he won't request a trade because he wants to go down with the ship. No, seriously.
"Basically, I just don't want to feel like a loser and escape," he told CSNNE.com. "The team needs you and then all of a sudden you escape because you said you wanted to be traded or you asked for a trade? It's not like that.
"If someone's going to decide to trade me, it is a business. I'll understand that. But now I'm on the Phoenix Suns and I'm going to help."
"Right now I feel like it's hard to leave this sinking boat, you know what I mean, just go to a different team and escape from everything. I started with this team in training camp. I've been here for three years right now. This is my third year and basically I'm trying to help this team, help this team as much as I can. That's the main goal, but I learned also that this is business. Whatever's going to happen is going to happen."
via Gortat to Celtics? Not likely.
You know that has to make the rest of the Suns feel good about themselves. Hey, they're a sinking ship, but don't worry. Gortat won't abandon them because he doesn't want to get pegged a loser.
Inspirational. Really.
The truth is the Suns need major roster changes to clear salary and revamp the inefficiencies on the team, and they need a new star to build around. The preseason plan wasn't terrible, attempting to build around versatile veterans. But the gamble hasn't worked out. It's time for a new direction.
And even if Gortat isn't asking for a life vest, it may be time to set him to sea and see what comes back in the message in the bottle.
OK, I'm done with the sea metaphors, matey.

About us…
Help support your Meetup
Barefoot Runners NYC is a group of runners who have left their thick-soled sneakers in the dust and started running with Vibram Five Fingers, other minimal sole shoes, or totally barefoot. Maybe you've read Born to Run, or maybe you've gotten injured running and are looking for a better solution -- whatever your reason, this is the place.
The body's natural stride is a healthier, more natural way to run, resulting in better running efficiency and fewer injuries. We follow a lot of Daniel Lieberman's work, whose research argues that humans are natural runners, and run best with a "toe-heel-toe" stride and a minimal sole.

announced plan to move up from I-AA this fall.
"The proposed move to Division I-A has the greatest potential
to threaten our capacity to carry out our great mission," he told
trustees in an e-mail obtained by the Tallahassee Democrat.
Gainous cited a desire to devote more financial resources to
academic programs. At least two trustees support Gainous' notion.
"It would be hard for me to see a situation where I would not
support his recommendation," trustee Randy Hanna said Sunday.
Added trustee R.B. Holmes: "I think it is a good idea to go to
Division I-A, but I think we need more time."
Holmes said he still thinks FAMU should move up to Division I-A
eventually, but not until the school's athletic facilities have
been upgraded and the financial support of boosters has been
Holmes also recommends that FAMU remain a member of the
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference in all sports, including football.
He said the school should put together a master plan for the next
seven to 10 years before making another effort to move to Division
The decision to move up from Division I-AA cost football head
coach Billy Joe several Division I-A transfers last summer because
of newly toughened NCAA transfer rules.
The university has been under pressure from the Board of
Governors, which oversees all 11 of Florida's public universities,
for sloppy accounting practices. Gainous hired a new vice president
for finance less than two weeks ago.

Feeling Fancy Shayla from Las Vegas, NV on 10/28/2014 – Verified Buyer
This is the first "designer pillow" I have purchased. Ordered in the white and orange. It definitely makes a difference and adds personality to our living room. We ordered a completely new living room set and all people seem to notice is this pillow.

PDF To Image
editor's review
buy now $31.45
If you need to extract PDF page content and save it in image format, for various reasons, you may benefit from using an application that allows you to process numerous documents at once.
PDF To Image is a simple tool that can help you batch convert PDF content to various image file formats. It is easy-to-use, but does not offer any advanced functions and features a rather outdated user interface.
Supports batch processing
If you need to convert a lot of documents at once, PDF To Image can be very helpful, as it allows you to insert any number of files to the processing queue, then process them in one operation.
You can add items individually or have the program scan an entire folder for supported documents. However, it is not possible to use drag and drop actions to insert new items, which would have simplified the process.
Can convert files to numerous formats
Once you have loaded the necessary documents, you can select the desired output format. The application can save content to JPG, PNG, BMP, EMF, GIF and TIFF files.
However, it should be noted that you cannot customize any quality or layout settings. Even some built-in quality presets would have been very useful, but are not included.
The conversion job can be paused at any time and resumed later, should you need to perform other activities.
Outdated user interface
PDF To Image is a simple application, offering a straightforward set of functions. They are all easily accessible and should not be difficult for novices to understand.
However, the program's appearance is not particularly impressive, as the interface seems to be rather out-of-date.
Overall, PDF To Image is a handy and straightforward application, designed to offer a simple method of converting PDF page content to various image formats. It is easy-to-use, but does not allow you to modify output image quality.

Even Bigger Greek Wedding in the Works
by Mike Stanz
posted May 29 2014 3:00PM
It's official. Twelve years after making the highest-grossing romantic comedy in history (it grossed $241 million in the US alone), Nia Vardalos has announced that she's got the script for the sequel to
"My Big Fat Greek Wedding."
So far, John Corbett has signed on to reprise the role of Vardalos' husband. The plot revolves around a new wedding that will bring her family together again. She tweeted that
"the entire big fat family is invited back for the sequel."
Here's hoping Michael Constantine can return as her dad, so he can explain the Greek root of the word "sequel."
