Sitagliptin and Metformin a Useful Combo For Type 2s
A recent study has found that the combination of metformin and sitagliptin lowers A1c's better than either drug alone, apparently because their different mechanisms work together synergistically.
Sitagliptin (Januvia) is a DPP-4 inhibitor; that is, it helps prevent DPP-4 from inactivating GLP-1, a gut hormone that regulates blood glucose. (For a lesson on how that works, see "The Incretin Saga: Mimetics, Enhancers, and Inhibitors".) Metformin (Glucophage) is an older drug that reduces the amount of glucose synthesized by the liver, decreases the absorption of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract, and increases insulin sensitivity.
The study examined 1,091 people with type 2 diabetes who were divided into four groups: sitagliptin plus metformin, sitagliptin alone, metformin alone, or a placebo. Their average starting A1c was 8.8%. After the 24-week study, 66 percent of the combo group had an A1c of less than 7%, and 44 percent of them had dropped to 6.5%.
The single drug groups also experienced improvement, but significantly less than the combo group. The incidence of hypoglycemia in the combo group was about the same as that of the placebo group.

That's odd, I thought I posted to this thread already. I'm prety sure the "unknown desk set" item is a blotter- you roll it in one direction across newly written ink pen writing to blot up any excess ink and prevent smearing. |
Oh! That makes sense, Colleen, although I've never heard of it. In fact, there is some backward-written ink on the bottom of it, so that would explain it. Thank you! |

How do i move win 7 partition to vista partition
Hi all,
I got a disk drive with 3 partitions... 1 - vista 64 (50GB) 2 - win 7 64 (30GB) 3 - data (80GB) I want to move win 7 installation to vista partition and extend partition 3 with freed partition 2. -I though to do this -Backup win 7 to external drive -boot from cd installation -choose to restore win 7 in partition 1 -After it boots correctly, resize partition 3 adding partition 2. I realized that boot files are in partition 1, when I tried in windows 7 to backup system (partition 2) it want sto backup full partition 1, because it's part of system and partition 1 is considered critical. Any procedure to acomplish this? thanks in advance... |

If it was me I would copy my data to a CD or DVD and install Win7 fresh and let it use the whole HD space.
After that is done you can add a data partition to whatever you want. My 2 cents. |

I would have to agree with IggyAZ. Just backup everything and reinstall Windows 7 in the desired partition. You'll have a hard time reconfiguring Primary Partitions not to mention the risk of loosing data and messing up your programs

Please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management drive map, using the Snipping Tool in Start Menu and attaching file using paper clip in reply box.
We have helped removed over 100+ dual boots since Win7 release with nearly perfect success. The tool you will want to use is free Partition Wizard bootable CD. We can advise you the exact steps when we see the screenshot. |

It depends what Disk management apps. you have. EITHER : Open an elevated cmd in 7, type: bcdboot c:\windows /s c: press enter close cmd. Boot Paragon cd ( it has to be one with the partition Copy function )- delete first partition - copy 7 partition into the unallocated space, mark it Active. That's it. Alter your other partitions as you like. OR: Open an elevated cmd in 7, type: bcdboot c:\windows /s c: press enter close cmd. Image 7 and restore to first partition instead of doing the Copy function with Paragon - Macrium would also would be fine for that - mark restored partition Active. NOTE: Either way , it's a good idea to make an image of the Vista partition - you never know when you might want it. I assume you also have the manufacturer recovery discs for Vista? Macrium will be the quickest for that: Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download However the Paragon free imaging app. has a lot of extra useful functions - Free Backup Software: Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Free Edition ... (the free Paragon imaging app. doesn't include the Copy function I mentioned earlier - you would need a higher edition , or one of the Partition Manager series - they were giving away Partition Manager 10 personal yesterday - if you got that - you can do the Copy) |

This is the foundation for ageing skin from Bobbi Brown. And it truly is because it is packed with moisturizing ingredients. The skin really gets glowing and looking fresh and plump when you wear this foundation.
Here are some facts to help you decide whether this is a foundation for you or not:
Skin type: for dry or ageing skin. I believe every other skin type just feels like the foundation glides on the face and never settles down. And for oily skin this foundation makes your face all shiny and greasy-looking.
Acne-prone skin might react bad because the ingredients are too "heavy" and might clog the pores.
Price: It is on the more expensive side.I paid 40 Euros in Germany for this. Some of my friends told me they like the Bobbi Brown stuff, but find it too expensive and therefore don´t buy it.
Colour: I´m a Mac NC 20 and bought this in sand 2. Never had such a perfect colour match for my skin. Even in sunlight, it looks all natural. But I apply it only where I need it, usually on my chin and around my nose.
Package: Honestly, the package is bad. Why not putting this in a pump dispenser? A simple bottle which leads to wasting a lot of an already expensive product.
Coverage: A light coverage with a dewy finish.
I recommend this for all people with dry and ageing skin and only don´t buy it again because it is the wrong formula for my combo-skin. The foundation just slipped off my face because of the rich formula. Bought the skin foundation instad of this one.
I have combination dry skin and was recommended by the Bobby Brown salesgirl to use this foundation. Put in on for a night out and within 30 minutes, my face started to itch and have small red patches. The reaction became worse when I perspired a little.
Thinking that it was just the first time, I tried it again and had the same reaction. My skin can be sensitive at times, esp during drier months but I have not had such allergies with many other foundations, drugstore or premium brand types.
Could be allergic to some ingredients in the foundation but whatever it is, this went back to the store in a jiffy.
For those who may want to try it, it provides only a light coverage with a dewy finish. For those with even a slightly oily T-zone, boy does it shine after a few hours !
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Coverage was pretty good. Everything else was horrible.
Not transfer resistant, in fact, when you attempt to apply a second layer, use your finger to blend in concealer, apply blush, etc. the foundation will completely come off, and i mean completely, it will lay you skin bare in the spot you touched.
moisturizing? no. not at all. emphasized dryness more than any other foundation I used, even oil-free, oil control formulations.
color? so yellow. soo so yellow. looked unnatural and washed me out. i've been disappointed with all bobbi brown products.
Oh I had this in the color sand, Nc25-30 in MAC.
More reviews by PrintesaBlonda
This is a very creamy and luxurious foundation,it gives a beautiful luminous glow without a hint of cheap looking shimmer/glitter that you normally find with foundations like this. It offers quite a sheer coverage,id imagine you would have to do more than several applications for a fuller coverage,instead I mix a touch of this with my Vichy Dermablend Corrective Foundation and a get a glowing medium coverage which looks natural. Two things that would make me give this products 5 lippies instead of 4 would be a pump and to omit the disgusting smell of Lavender! It's quite overwhelming!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm looking down at some of the poor reviews down here and notice that many (not all) of the poor reviews are by women who have oily to combo skin. Now I definitely do not recommend this product to women with oil prone skin as this IS a moisturizing dewyer foundation and I feel as though it might not be very long wearing to them. I would highly highly recommend this product for women with dry skin and for mature skin. I have combination skin only in that my nose gets a bit oily at the end of the day but a bit of powder to set this does the trick but the rest of my skin tends to be very very dry. Therefore, my skin always tends to be very dull and uneven looking looking, especially in the winter. This is my go to foundation in the winter months when I need a little extra pick me up. Don't let the label "luminous" scare you as it did with me. Most "luminous" foundations tend to have shimmer in it or make me look like a dirty greasy discoball at the end of the day but this one does nothing of the sort. It simply makes my skin simply look more awake, completely natural, and subtly glowing. I look fresh faced and I love how this foundation covers and does not accentuate the small fine lines I have under my eyes wheras almost every single foundation has. This also passed my sleep with makeup test manyy times (I have a horrible habit of sleeping with my makeup on) with no resulting break outs or anything. Almost anything liquid makeup makes me break out horribly :(
This foundation lasts all day with me even without a primer with just the occasional compact touchup to my nose. I love the effect this foundation has so much that I refuse to cover it up with any finishing powder. This gives a very natural, medium coverage finish. This isn't a dramatic coverup foundation. My skin just looks like the perfect, awesome version of itself. When I don't feel like wearing full foundation esp during the summer i'll just mix this product with some moisturizer and make my own lovely tinted moisturizer. Any of you dry gals or women with dry skin with some wrinkles please please try this product. You will thank me!

amazing, go out and buy yourself this foundation. dewy look and its perfecting my skin and making it softer and mousterized.
sorry once again it's is a professional review, I'm freelance not attached to any brand, so all my reviews are honest.I actually really like this foundation, especially for mature or dry skin,it works well, Oily or combination skins would need a primer, but this products is not for that type of skin. Although not anywhere as good as mac for colour choice,there is far more choice than most of the expensive brands. I also like skin foundation,but have not used any other BB foundations
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This foundation looked great on my skin only for the first few min. After 30 min went by, it would melt off (even when I set it with powder) and my face looked really uneven. I would not buy this product again.
I love luminous. I will never find a better foundation. Have tried Mac, Nars, Armani--this is the best!
It is like magic on my skin. And so natural, people have no idea how much makeup I am wearing. I get compliments for having 'nice skin'....
I am so enthusiastic because this product is amazing. It works well covering rosacea I have around the nose and on the chin.
Because I don't like to have shine on my face though, I dab Bobbi Brown pressed powder in T-section. Perfect.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I would recommend Bobbi's Moisture Rich foundation over this one. The Luminous is only slightly more moisturizing than the Moisture Rich, and has a finish that is slightly more dewy and "luminous", but there isn't a huge difference. What is different is that this foundation tends to just sit on top of your skin and never sinks in. You have to be very careful about touching your face, because this is the polar opposite of transfer-resistant. It easily transfers to anything and everything. It also has very poor staying power. Setting the foundation with powder can help with these issues, but it can also cancel out the luminizing effect. All in all, I think the Moisture Rich is a better option for dry skin. Stila's Illuminating liquid foundation is also an option, but be aware that it's a bit more sparkly than this one, with a shine that could be overpowering for some.

The Hittite Rock Sanctuary of Yazılıkaya The rock sanctuary of Yazılıkaya ( = rock with writing) lies nestled between rock outcroppings at the foot of the high ridge east of Hattusha. In contrast to the temples within the city, the two rooms of this sanctuary (Chambers A and B), hemmed in by natural rock faces up to 12 m high, lie open to the skies. Although the site has been in use since the 15th century BC at least, not until the 13th century did the long procession of gods and goddesses take their place here, chiseled onto the rock faces by Hittite sculptors. It apparently represents the "House of the New Year's Celebration," a House of the Weather God where festivities were held to honor all the pantheon at the coming of the New Year and the beginning of spring. The actual rock sanctuary was screened off from the outside world by a rather impressive architectural complex. Although only the wall socle zone remains in place, the reconstruction drawing gives an idea of how the buildings must have looked with the typical mudbrick and timber frame wall construction that was employed here as well. Through this building complex one would have entered the large Chamber A. Here on either side reliefs can be seen, chiseled into panels running horizontally across the natural limestone walls.
On the left side we have male deities (with two exceptions); on the right, female. They all face the opposite end of the chamber, towards which they appear to be slowly progressing; and there, indeed, is the climactic tableau: as leaders of the holy procession, the two supreme divinities, the weather god and the sun goddess greet one another. Nearly all of the gods along the left side of the chamber are dressed in short skirts and high pointed hats. They all wear shoes curling up at the toe, and many are armed with either a sickle-shaped sword or a mace, which they carry over their shoulder. The female divinities on the right-hand side of chamber are dressed in long pleated skirts and all wear curling-toed shoes, earrings and high headdresses. They display scarcely any individual attributes.
The relief sculpture in the small chamber B is much better preserved because the chamber was partly filled with earth and remained unexcavated until the mid 19th century. On the wall immediately to the right of the entrance was carved a line of gods of the Underworld. They wear shirts, belts, short skirts and shoes curling up at the toe. They each carry a crescent-shaped sword flung over the shoulder, and the horned pointed hats that identify them as divinities.

- by Kurt Karandy, II -
I am extremely anxious about marriage equality.
My concern is not about any specious claim that same-sex marriage damages society, nor does it stem from any internalized sense of self-loathing or shame.
My unease is over the central position that marriage occupies in contemporary movements for LGBT rights in America.
Endorsing same-sex marriage, or "marriage equality" as it is popularly referred, has become the primary indicator of one's support for LGBT people and our civil rights. When politicians want to show they are champions of LGBT people, they endorse marriage equality.
Even in The United Methodist Church, much energy in the LGBT movement has shifted towards marriage equality. Some local churches—such as Foundry UMC, the church in which I worshipped regularly while residing in D.C.—declared they would marry same-sex couples because they believe this is an issue of pastoral care. Others vow that they would not perform any marriages until all are able to marry. I applaud the courage that guides both of these prayerful decisions.
Attention to marriage also occupies a significant focus of the Biblical Obedience witness sponsored by the Reconciling Ministries Network. As I scroll through the list of signers of the Altars for All petition, I'm proud to see many familiar names from across the Connection. I commend them for their witness.
Yet I remain anxious.
The term "marriage equality" reflects this logic. It suggests same-sex marriage is and ought to be equivalent to heterosexual marriage. It implies that the only difference between gay and straight people is the combination of figurines at the top of a wedding cake. As the primary focus of the movement, marriage equality implies that the highest form of gay liberation is to be just like straight people.
This view of marriage tends to subordinate or at times overlook the tangible, material benefits that marriage offers—benefits that had been specifically denied to LGBT people because we have been viewed as distinct from heterosexuals. The protections and benefits that marriage furnishes are especially important to LGBT people in light of the community's particular history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
For these specific reasons, I support same-sex marriage. But I just cannot embrace "marriage equality" as the pinnacle of LGBT liberation and acceptance. And I cannot put to rest my qualms about the primary place of marriage in any LGBT movement.
Is the culmination of years of struggle under oppression only to have marriages that look just like our heterosexual counterparts?
Is the apex of gay liberation to simply put your wedding announcement in the newspaper?
Is the sum total of agitation in The United Methodist Church really just to reproduce the same rituals of opposite-sex families?
I think the drag queens of Stonewall would tell us no.
The Stonewall riot and the gay liberation movements that followed told the world that not only did LGBT people exist, but that we are different. We are queer.
I am concerned that framing the movement for LGBT rights around themes of social recognition and church acceptance as exemplified in the centrality of "marriage equality" that we have forgotten the queerness of the LGBT people.
To be queer and to embrace the queerness of LGBT people does not stand in opposition to same-sex marriage, but it does challenge the idea of marriage as a universally accepted social norm. There are many ways to be queer, many different expressions of queerness.
Elevating same-sex marriage to be of paramount concern to LGBT movements suggest that there is only one way to be queer, or at least one way that is more respectable than the rest. Until all expressions of queerness are honored and celebrated in contemporary LGBT movements —including the freedom to choose not to marry—all will not truly be welcome in our churches.
One's sacred worth should not ever be contingent upon one's desire to wed.

Pac-Man Blocks Light Up Your Life
The last time I saw such a brilliant blending of Pac-Mania and illumination was the amazing Pac-Man Christmas tree that showed up on the streets of Madrid over the holidays. Now you can have your own personal Pac & Pals light show thanks to these fun colored light blocks.
Designed by French lighting company Remake Design, these clever interlocking light blocks now come in Pac-Man inspired styles, including colored ghosts, dots, and of course the pie-shaped yellow guy we all know and love so much.
The company offers a variety of snap-together colored lighting fixtures which can be combined to form unique pixel-like structures in any space. Pricing for their solid colored lights is around $300 for a set of four blocks, but pricing hasn't been announced yet for the Pac-Man series.
If you're not into Pac-Man, why not try some Tetris?

Wow. I need to set aside several thousand dollars so I can get this in my gaming room. That is awesome! I would make mine accurate though with the right number of ghosts and whatnot. I am such a geek. :)

Well shoot.
See, originally I decided to make a few simple comics between stories for two reasons. One was to prepare for the next, and the other was that I refuse to give myself a real break. This was supposed to be a dumb little "ha ha other lizards are different" throwaway story, but now I've realized that I can make it into something nice and sweet.
So now I feel bad that I'm wasting it in this quick, lower quality short story I've been using for experimenting. I considered stopping it, but this page turned out better than I thought for now. I guess the only solution is to completely redo the whole thing to look nice someday, ha HA!

I like the styling of the Thomasville Bogart line for dining room furniture. I was wondering if anyone had any comments on the quailty of those pieces.
Also, does anyone know of any other manufacturers that have lines with a similar look to the Bogart pieces. (I'm moderately concerned about Thomasville quality for the price.) Thanks! |

I don't know what the prices are for Thomasville, but I was recently in a Thomasville store and thought the quality good. It is not top rung, but it is a far cry from the bottom. I thought the quality better than Ethan Allen—which surprised me as Ethan Allen was once pretty good stuff. I, too, like the Bogart line. I thought the Bogart Luxe was pretty interesting too. The Bogart dining chair is a classic country style--but refined. It looks a lot like Baker's Barbara Barry dining chair, but with a twist and I am sure at a much better price. (link below) I have seen many knockoffs of the Barbara Barry chair, so if you look around I am sure you will be able to find something similar. As for the table, I have not seen anything comparable. All in all, I think Thomasville has successfully created two unique collections in Bogart and Bogart Luxe. They are definitely the standouts in the Thomasville line. The rest of the Thomasville line is pretty conservative and traditional. You have a good eye for style. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Baker Oval X Back Chair
I'm checking this thread for replies as well. I am in love with the bunching chest from the bedroom collection of the Bogart line but the price seems really high. I haven't found anything like it anywhere else though so I suspect you are paying for the name and the design as much as the quality. |
I have two Thomasville pieces from the Hemmingway collection - a chair and a table. I did have a small problem with the top of the Kudu antler supporting the table top. It was easy to fix with solder, but Thomasville ordered me another table. They stand behind their product. It took a long time for the pieces to come in. They were literally on a slow boat from China. So, if you want the set, allow several months for shipping. |
I purchased the bogart dining room set a year ago. I also have the sunset console, melrose hall chest, bunching curio, round cocktail table, end table and a leather bench. The bogart furniture is in a living room that is seldom used. I like the style of the bogart line. I consider the furniture average quality, I would not purchase the furniture if I did not receive 40% off the regular price. I selected a less expensive thomasville product line for my bedroom. I have also recently purchased furniture from bassett, and ethan allen. I consider all of these furniture lines average quality in comparison to furniture my parents purchased thirty years ago that is still in good condition. Other furniture lines similar to bogart are usually more expensive because of the mahogany wood with burl or maple inlays. I believe Henredon has a similar dining table. |
Well we are going to purchase our furniture today. It's on sale for 40% off plus they are running a rebate for 4th of july through the end of this week. With the rebate it will come out to about 42-43% off which is probably about the best you can do on Thomasville (I've been reading that 40% as the magic number). I'm not sure I would call it average quality, I think I would call it "medium" quality. There is so much low priced furniture out there that I think the "average" quality is quite a bit lower than thomasville (coming from someone who owns a mix of average quality furniture with a couple of antique pieces that are much higher quality). That's just semantics though, I think we are talking about the same thing. I think it is worth it at 40% off though... we looked at lower end furniture (not higher end, the really good stuff is just way out of our budget) and there is a definite difference between thomasville quality and most of what is sold at generic furniture stores... of course there is also a definite difference in price, ESPECIALLY for the lines like Bogart and Hemmingway... but as you said, the burl inlays are going to cost more. I did notice that their other lines have prices much more in line with the higher end (like Stanley) of "average quality" furniture stores. |
40% off with a rebate is an excellent price. My dh also said he would not consider Bogart average quality furniture. He says the quality is definitely above average. |
Sorry to bump up in case anyone is interested, but we finally took delivery on our pieces and we are very pleased with the quality. No complaints, and they are beautiful. Hope everyone else is enjoying their bogart. :) |

I can't seem to find any prices listed on the Thomasville site. I'm really interested in the Bogart pieces, but I'd rather not walk into the store blind. If anyone could quote some prices, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. |
i am an interior designer for Thomasville furniture in california if anyone need's pricing or questions on any collection please feel free to email me email@example.com Bogart is selling for 50% off +rebate going through 6/9/07 |
to ydesigns: i saw your post re the bogart line but your post is dated 7/6/07 and the sale/rebate you mention expired in june. is this a mistake??? |
The stores in Connecticut only have 50% off the floor models. They do not have the bedroom pieces in the showroom. I would love to see the items in person, they are made in china, according to a store rep here. |

I love the design. Bought all the dining room and much living room. Now have a scratch on the table. Was told by the refinisher that the furniture is made "to look at not to use", and "its a reproduction of fine furniture". All the professional refinishers will touch it because they are afraid that the thin veneer will come up with the finish. We paid a lot, and thought we were getting quality. I have 100 year old furniture that will be good forever. This is a one-time-use product. I would not do it again. |
You might be interested to know that they are selling this line on Overstock.com. |

Ten essential gangsta-rap albums
Eric Gruneisen
Many hip-hop fans, those who love rap -- hell, even some rappers -- have an aversion to gangsta rap for its objectionable content. Common named the rise of gangsta rap as one of the many steps in hip-hop's downfall in "I Used to Love H.E.R." -- a sentiment that, of course, began a contentious relationship between him and Ice Cube. But whatever your take on the morality of the genre, it's hard to argue how insightful the music has been, or that each of these albums has impacted the landscape of hip-hop forever. Keep reading for a list of the ten essential gangsta-rap albums.

10. Big L -- Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous
One in a long line of talented rappers whose lives have been tragically cut short by violent crime, Big L is the heavy hitter most often neglected. With a remarkable flair for storytelling, sharp yet unassuming punchlines and pitch-black humor, Big L is one of the most entertaining MCs in recent memory. With underwhelming production, despite contributions from standout producers Lord Finesse and Buckwild, and a short supply of radio- or television-friendly singles, the album was a commercial failure, but that does not take away from its status as a gangsta-rap staple. Though L matured both as a lyricist and a songwriter for his second studio album, The Big Picture, released posthumously, it was not as gritty or as raw as his debut.

Even though I had to share the spotlight with ALL of my bratty brothers (Spencer, Wylie, and Oliver), that didn't stop me from being CAPS' fabulous spokesmodel. I had so much fun!
