Picturesque park on the Mississippi. Our site was 50 yards from the river. Beautiful wooded campground with grass sites. A cabin is available to rent, also. The manager is always helpful and friendly. There is a boat ramp and pier on the premises, too. This was our third time there and we always enjoy it. - Bill from Kenosha

Had great antenna TV reception. Good cell phone cell service. Boat launch and fishing pier. I would definitely stay here again! - murphyhupp

Wonderful, well kept campground on Mississippi River. Sites are a bit small, but it wasn't crowded so every other site left plenty of space. This time of year it is heavy with fish flies; be ready to have a campfire to keep them away. Very nice bike path runs through the campground which you can ride for 10 to 20 miles in either direction. Nice location, we would stay here again for a weekend. - lc47

Great county run park. A wonderful view of the Mississippi River and not far from towns for shopping/eating. Sites are spacious and level, gravel. Great value! Would return here if in the area. - Highway Star
Oct 2010 - $13.00
Technically, I should probably give this a little lower rating - because of no sewer hook-up and unlevel sites - but it was one of our favorite stops, so...! We extended our stay and were loathe to leave. It's a very pretty park, right along the MS River, with nice 50 amp sites for an unbelievably low price!! There's also a nice bike trail that runs right through the park and alongside the river. We got a little confused getting here - turns out there's an exit off the I-80 (Exit #1) onto Route 84 that takes you straight to the park! Somehow our GPS had other ideas... Also, it's not obvious where to go when you first get here. The campground is on the river side (there is more of the park across the road for picnicking, etc.). Just go "straight" on the main road till you get to the office (a ways in). If no one is there, just pick out your spot and pay them when they get back. We would definitely stay here again if in the area! - CarrieBearie

Spent one night here. Very nice COE park right on the Mississippi River. Price reflects Senior Pass Discount. Sure was cement, level but close to the road. Site was not long enough for us to park our Jeep on but there was extra parking spaces right across from our site. Electric hookup only.
Park rangers made passes through frequently and were available for questions when the park kiosk was closed. Some sites have a view of the river. Lots of mature trees. - Darcan
May 2016 - $10.00
After passing the kiosk, sites 1 thru 25 are on the left and sites 26 - 56 are on the right side. The left side loop appears more crowed and there is a canopy of trees that encompass many of the sites. There is a play area and a bathhouse with one shower per gender also within the left side loop. Most people like this loop because you can see the Mississippi river. The right side loop has fewer trees, more in the open and no view of the river.
There is a vault toilet within both loops. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Water spigots are also scattered around both loops. There are two dump stations with fresh water just before the kiosk.
All sites have 50/30/15 amp electrical service and the electrical voltage was good - hovering around 122 volts. The interior roads are on asphalt and the sites are on concrete. The sites are fairly level but the length of the sites vary. Some are long enough for a large rig (without a tow) while others barely fit a small class C. All sites are back-ins.
There is an active train that runs sporadically throughout the day and night. These trains run slowly so the noise is not too bad. Road noise quiets down in the evening. Verizon air card and cell phone reception was good.
Overall, this is a nice campground. We have a 32 5th wheel. - adsaxs
May 2016 - $10.00
What a great spot along the Mississippi River! Our site has an awesome view of the river. Easy internet reservation. Some of the lots will be difficult to back into with a big rig due to trees or poles, but our lot was great and 80 ft long. No water or sewer but 50 amps and view & grassy lots make up for it. Level concrete pad. We had satellite service but some lots will not. Price reflects National Parks Senior Pass. - Freedom Bus

We camped here for a month and loved it. We were parked at the end of the row so had plenty of space. So nice to not be in the middle of retail madness yet only 20 minutes to the grocery and mall. We were here before the peak season began and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. Super friendly staff and helpful with any needs. Plaza has a great laundry, gym, and game room along with many other cool things. Very clean showers and restrooms. Roads and sites are paved which is perfect for rollerblading and biking. Also, has a nice playground for the kids to enjoy. Beautiful view of the lake. Hopefully, we are back in the area. Would love to stay again. - Sarina Thomas

This gated park was very clean and was easy to maneuver around with a large rig. The office staff was super friendly, as were the people who worked on the grounds. We stayed here for several weeks during August and September, and chose this particular place because of all the amenities and activities it listed online. We arrived on a weekend and there was a ton going on and we thought it was perfect. But then on Monday we found out that everything is closed during the week. The snack bar and store opened on Friday night and closed on Sunday afternoon, and the hours on those days were quite limited. From Sunday afternoon to Friday afternoon it was like a ghost town, which is something the kids and I did not enjoy. There are many, many insects, especially mosquitos and flies, which made it almost impossible to sit or play outside after 5 pm. And if you need anything, it is a thirty minute ride to the nearest grocery store. If you have kids, this is a great place for a weekend stay, but not an extended one. We camped here in a fifth wheel. - NomadFamily
Aug 2015 - $1.00
Thank god for Coast to Coast or we would not have stayed here for $72 a night. Nothing here worth that much money. The grounds are very well kept but the staff can not keep up with the trash that some day use people leave behind. The internet is fair at best even in the Plaza where they day the have free internet. If you can get connected you are doing good. The sites are narrow with a grassy area in between you and the other campers. The lake is pretty if you look past the over growth of algae that is growing on all of the ponds and the large lake. We were in a 31 ft motor home with a 20 ft tow, the site was very large and could handle us. Nice park but if it was not for Coast to Coast I would not stay here. - Walter Pfiitze

The park now is owned by the City of Colona and is renamed Colona Scott Family Park. Staff is very friendly. There are lots of sites, and many are occupied by the season. Daily rate of$30.00 seems high as there is only a central dump and no cable TV. Honey wagon service is $10.00. Coin laundry is good. Quite crowded holiday weekends. Convenient to Quad Cities. After heavy rain, small lakes are formed on sites and roads. A few sites are narrow for slideouts. - Bill Strong

This is a club membership campground. It has organized activities and a great swimming pool. Sites are on grass and are both pull through and back in. It is off the interstate a couple of miles, so it is quiet. We would stay here again. - A hitch and hop

A nice park located in a beautiful area, the drive to the campground is stunning. We where just staying one night so left the toad on, the sewer was at the back and took two hoses to reach. The turns in to our site where very tight and it was difficult to get into. Check in was easy and they where friendly. - sjones

The campground location is right on the Hennefin Canal bike path. We rode 24 miles and could have kept going. They rent bikes as well as kayaks and canoes so you can get plenty of exercise. A very well stocked store that includes the owner's collection of pins. Fun to just look at the thousands of pins in his collection. Clean facilities, level sites, and friendly staff. - Silvana CLark
Aug 2015 - $30.00
This park is in the country, adjacent to the Hennepin Canal. The park is family owned with the owners being very friendly and helpful. Caution: make sure that you follow the blue signs when coming into town on IL-82; there is a very low clearance railroad bridge if you stay on Il-82 through town. A better way is going across IL-92 to IL-82 and the campground will be on the left. This is a prior KOA from years ago, and most of the amenities that the KOA had are here except for the pool; it has been taken out. The sites are shaded, but a few have breaks in the trees for a satellite. Make sure you mention this when checking in so she can put you into a spot if you need satellite. Antenna and Verizon reception are very good. The campground WiFi is very good once you sign into it. The sites are level, gravel, with grass between the sites. When full, the sites could feel cramped. They have canoes and kayaks for rent as you are on the banks of the Hennepin Canal. The fishing is good too. There is a clean laundry room, 2 electric dryers and 2 washers, but the dryers need updating. They don't dry well. Geneseo is close and has anything you would want. We would definitely stay here again. - Mike1987

Another gem that we have to share, but hate to in hopes that it's not overtaken! Well maintained, lots of room between sites, great rates. Biking, hiking, lakes, pool, golf course (not our thing now but a nice looking course.) Going to extend here a few days for sure. It is so nice that we saw several local folks pull in today, set their campers up, then call their friends to tell them to get out here, then leave. They do this to secure their site for the weekend as this is first come, first served. No reservations. All the staff are awesome, and a lot of ranger presence. Fires allowed in the pits provided. There are four campgrounds here, but Bald Eagle is the one we are in and the only full hookup campground. There is one other one that has electric and water, but would be hard to get level with a motor home or larger fifth wheel. - Ron and Terri

We stay at the Pine Grove campground when we go to Scott County. They are nice surrounded by woods sites. Tons of trails and playgrounds for kids. They also have a water park within walking distance of Pine Grove but not so close you have alot of traffic. We have stayed here a half dozen times. - Charles_ Jeannie

This park was immaculate. Lots of room between sites. Very quiet. There was a camp host but we never saw them. All sites are back in. The park employee who took our money was grumpy but got the job done. We stayed here on a Monday and Tuesday night. Only a few sites were available as this park seems to be used by locals. - Weckerly

It had rained hard just before we arrived and the park does not drain. There was a river by the front drive and the front sites where a foot deep in water. Our site was very wet but it worked. The sewer is about 4 inches above ground and took 2 hoses to reach. It was miserable with the water and the drainage. The sites are narrow with easy access the roads are just wide enough. We will look for a different park in the area next time. - sjones

Stayed here and reviewed this park before. Decent park if you're visiting the Quad Cities. Power and water worked as they should but park is apparentaly replacing some or all of the sewer connections so new ones are 8-10-or 12 inches above ground level. Nice pool and office staff friendly accommodating. Having said all that, the park is getting a little run down looking and could use some TLC and regravel the transient sites. Some sites as we noticed were a little hard to level. Alao some seasonal/permanent sites were looking a little junky. We would stay again when visiting friends in Davenport. - xarmoreddriver
Aug 2016 - $37.00
Price reflects discount for full hookup pull-through without functioning water. Gravel with nice grass and concrete patio with picnic table. Park has some low branches and tight turns for big rigs and very strict pet policies. Office staff was very pleasant. We would stay again. - BigRigTravelerUSA

A great campground right on the river, with a lot of things to do. Great fishing, has boat slips (docks?) if you have a boat (I do not), and you can rent boats or paddle boats. Right next to the Eco Tourism center, which has lots of neat things going on.
Avoid when raining, as the entire campground turns into a big mud puddle. Also can be very buggy. - David Johnson
May 2009 - $15.00
We had a pretty decent stay. My only complaint was the cold water in the shower. Taking a shower on a 45* morning and only having lukewarm water was not pleasant. - User781
Sep 2007 - $15.00
This is a county park. It is on a backwater of the Mississippi River. It is a marina in addition to being a campground. The marina business was very busy during our stay. We stayed in site #65 right on the water. Due to the slow-moving water, there were lots of mosquitoes, so staying outside was a challenge. We wanted to stay in a place right on the Mississippi and we couldn't tell about this place looking at the map. Sites are electric only. There are lots of trees so maneuvering a big rig would be problematic. Bargain price. The showers are a long hike from many of the campsites so we didn't try them. There are pit toilets scattered around and we didn't try them either. In the future, we'd plan a little better and choose another campground. It seemed like mostly locals were staying there. - NancyB

Wonderful park, lovely sites with a big pond, cement pads with fire pits, table and grass between sites. The pool seemed small for the number of guests that they seem to have, but it sure was popular! They have a nice snack bar with pizza, ice cream and other treats, which is nice too. Everything (laundry, etc) is kept real clean. Never could get on to their WiFi. Cable was OK, not great. Location etc. worked well for us. - MarieB

Friendly staff, especially the activities director Robin. We stayed Memorial Day weekend and the campground was pretty full but not packed. We played putt-putt golf; an older "course" but still fun. We swam quite a bit in the pool which was clean and popular. We had wanted to fish in one of the ponds but never got around to it. There are some comments about the staff being sticklers on one point or another (no rugs, quiet time, no outside wood, car tags) and they were somewhat strict but only want to ensure campers are abiding by the rules so that all can have a safe and enjoyable visit. We did hear the train come through once, just after quiet time (at 10 pm) and it was VERY loud; I think the tracks are directly across the street from the campground. But that was the only time we heard the train. They've done some recent upgrades to the park, new tent sites near the pond, jumping pillow, motorcycle tent area which was cute with cauldron-style fire pits, new fenced-in dog park area. Overall nice KOA. Our site was a very spacious pull-thru end site with plenty of room for our puppy and for us to spread out and build a nice campfire. Firepit was large. Our picnic table was old and had been painted with indoor latex paint (not stained or covered in outdoor paint); it was kind of yucky so we didn't use it at all. - EllenT

New Course Descriptions and Learning Outcomes
The courses revised during 2015 as part of the Learning Outcomes Project came from the following disciplines: Architecture (ARCH), Computer Science (COSC), and Mathematics (MATH). Not all courses in the disciplines were revised.
We invite faculty to review and comment on the descriptions and outcomes. In order to simplify the process of incorporating public comments into the final product, we would appreciate receiving one collective comment from each department, rather than separate comments from each faculty member. The public comment period will begin September 21, 2015 and will end on October 21, 2015. Please submit comments by email to Rebecca Leslie (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Coordinating Board staff will collect and organize the comments, taking particular note of those that recommend substantive changes to the materials. The comments will be brought back to the faculty work groups, who discuss and decide by majority vote which comments to incorporate into the descriptions and outcomes. The final draft materials will be considered by the ACGM Advisory Committee at their November meeting.
By way of background, the ACGM is the official list of courses approved for general academic transfer that may be offered by public community and technical colleges in Texas for state funding. As part of an effort to improve the ACGM and statewide course transfer, Coordinating Board staff have facilitated the Learning Outcomes Project to develop student learning outcomes for some of the most frequently taught courses across the state. For each round of this project, a specific series of steps are taken.
After identifying a set of frequently taught ACGM courses, Coordinating Board staff recruit faculty from the appropriate discipline areas from public two-year and four-year institutions. The faculty work groups are formed for each discipline, composed of equal numbers of faculty from the two types of institutions, and are guided staff members. The faculty work groups review a large sample of course syllabi from public institutions, identify the common elements, and create updated course descriptions and sets of student learning outcomes for each course under consideration.

Long Hours, No Pay: Only Chef Wannabes Need Apply
By MARIAN BURROS
Published: July 28, 1999
MICHAEL ZINNER, whose day job is running the surgery department at Harvard Medical School, stood in the kitchen of Le Bernardin dressed in chef's whites instead of surgeon's greens and tried to get used to the fact that 22-year-olds thought it was perfectly all right to yell at him. For cutting the mushrooms wrong.
''I had the feeling I had when I was an intern and couldn't draw blood right,'' said Dr. Zinner, 54, the surgeon in chief at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. ''I didn't know exactly what I was supposed to do because I hadn't had enough experience.''
For someone who confessed to a ''romantic notion of having a restaurant,'' working in one for six 12-hour days without pay turned out to be a lot harder, and more humbling, than he ever imagined.
Dr. Zinner is among a small group of chef wannabes turning up in the world's most celestial kitchens. Some, like him, are signing up for a new program and paying thousands of dollars for the privilege. Others just talk their way into working long, hot days as a galley slave in a stress-filled and windowless kitchen in return for the chance to absorb the knowledge and mysterious skills of a star chef, and maybe even bask in reflected glory.
''You think these guys are some kind of deity,'' said Wayne Kimbell, a New York stockbroker who has also worked with Eric Ripert, the executive chef at Le Bernardin. ''My friends think it's pretty cool.''
Among those who have worked free in top kitchens are a disaffected Japanese housewife, a bored Microsoft executive, a retired Wall Street broker and a dentist. Some are contemplating midlife career changes. Others simply want to impress their dinner guests. All are willing indentured servants pursuing culinary excellence. Or something. After all, they can quit anytime their feet hurt.
''It's the George Plimpton complex,'' said Christine Patton, the retired broker. ''You like to have another life for a week and then go home.''
Unlike other amateurs in the kitchen, Dr. Zinner never went to cooking school. ''To me, like many guys my age, grilling was indistinguishable from cooking,'' he said. He did not have to beg, plead and wield connections to get through the swinging doors at Le Bernardin. He paid $2,450 to L'Ecole des Chefs when the program expanded to the United States from Paris this year.
Participants spend five and a half or six days in one of the country's best-known kitchens, like Jean Georges, Daniel, Payard Patisserie and Bistro in New York, Citronelle in Washington or Le Bec-Fin in Philadelphia. Along with all the abuse they can take, they get two staff meals a day and one half-price dinner in the dining room, wine not included.
In the kitchen, Dr. Zinner's exalted position in the medical world meant nothing. After watching Mariano Almonte, the restaurant's butcher, trim monkfish, Dr. Zinner tried his hand.
As he worked, Mr. Almonte provided running commentary: ''I can see you didn't catch the idea. I don't know if you are not looking. I give you 40 percent.''
Mr. Ripert, more of a diplomat, interjected, ''Not bad at all.''
But the butcher persisted: ''I'm sorry, I gave you only 40 percent. Maybe tomorrow you get better.''
During lunch service, when Dr. Zinner was told to assist the chef de cuisine on the line, he looked worried. ''He's suffering,'' Mr. Ripert said with a sympathetic laugh. ''He looks tense.'' And he was.
''You don't want to screw anything up, but it's still too new to do it quickly,'' the surgeon said during a lull. For six days, you can stand anything. He filled a little notebook with tips and recipes and stayed an extra day because a Saudi prince canceled surgery. ''Seeing it makes all the difference in the world because you couldn't get it just out of reading a book,'' Dr. Zinner said.
''Once he realized he was here to work, it actually was a help,'' said Andrea Glick, a line cook and chef's assistant. ''I would spend 10 minutes showing him something that would take me half an hour to do. During service, it would be a little hairy, but he's a very smart man, and he knew how to step out of the way.''
Even after being yelled at and feeling insecure, Dr. Zinner has not entirely abandoned his interest in opening a restaurant. ''Eric told me if I ever get that idea, to place a call to him before so he can convince me it is not a good idea,'' he said.
For Ms. Patton, who quickly tired of the lady of leisure role after retiring from Wall Street, an interest in food became an obsession, however short lived. ''Whenever I'm bored, I learn something,'' she said.
She spent six months at the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan and was an apt enough student to be hired as an instructor. But she still was not satisfied and sought the validation of a restaurant kitchen.
''After two days at Daniel, I never went back to the French Culinary Institute,'' she said. In the kitchen she had discovered the adrenaline rush she missed from the trading floor.
''What I really found was the only real equivalent of the trading room energy and stress,'' she said. ''A room full of young men, not necessarily with great education but with tremendous involvement. In the trading room the young men are totally stressed out; there are minor blowups, and then they just go on. The kitchen is like that: people screaming and yelling, but the whole team pulling together, and at the end of the evening everyone is friends again.''

Thanks for the patch, however, I think it's a bad idea to introduce a dependency of contrib.messages in contrib.auth. This would also require a test for the new feature.
comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by charettes
Thinking of it I'm not sure we should fix this at the form level.
I think that returning a 500 and triggering an admin report (mail_admin, sentry, ...) is the correct way to handle this.
If we choose to display the user a message we must make sure the exception is still triggering an exception report.
comment:5 Changed 3 years ago by ezra
I don't know Django core code well enough to recommend the correct way to fix this, however I'd love to inform my users if something goes wrong while they were trying to do something.

@ezra in this case I suggest you read the documentation regarding handling of runtime exceptions. You should be able to inform your users something went wrong this way.

Amazon.com Review
Leonard Mlodinow is a physicist at Caltech and the bestselling author of The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules our Lives and Euclid's Window: The Story of Geometry from Parallel Lines to Hyperspace. He also wrote for Star Trek: The Next Generation. He lives in South Pasadena, California. Read his review of One, Two, Three:
Fifteen years ago, if publishers were sure of anything, it was that (1) calculus is not funny, and (1+1) no one wants to go to lie in bed clutching a book about the concept and history of integral and differential operators. Then along came the always audacious David Berlinski (his bio described him as "having a tendency to lose academic positions with what he himself describes as an embarrassing urgency"). A mathematician who is by trade a purveyor of proofs, Berlinski wrote A Tour of the Calculus, proving the skeptics wrong on both counts. With One, Two, Three: Absolutely Elementary Mathematics, Berlinski has now applied his vast knowledge, wit, and inimitable trademark writing style to tackle another subject about as sexy as American cheese: arithmetic. But don't worry, you won't find any multiplication tables here--this is a book about what it means to multiply (and add, subtract, and divide). Berlinski challenges us to see these as deeper issues, a level of mathematical thinking that most people never consider, but which forms the very logical foundation upon which rest ideas as vital as one plus one equals two.
Is there more to arithmetic than its application through our rote rules of calculation? Berlinski describes how, beginning in the late nineteenth century, mathematicians got around to questioning the meaning of arithmetic, and searching for axioms upon which that structure might be placed. Then he guides us through their reasoning.
Numbers form the foundation of our universe, yet most of us never puzzle over what they mean. We take for granted our numbers, the operations we perform on them, and the rules, such as commutivity, that those operations follow. It all seems to work when we buy our cappuccino and croissant, so why question it, unless you get shortchanged? The truth is, we don't question arithmetic because we are in that famous and unenviable position of not knowing the extent of what we do not know. But Berlinski educates us, and shows that the logical basis of arithmetic is worth knowing, and worth appreciating, for it is both beautiful and profound, and represents a grand feat of human imagination. It is the revelation of a world of ideas upon which the simplest counting and calculating--acts without which no planning or transactions, from engineering to commerce, could exist--is predicated. That is David Berlinski's gift to the reader. It is candy for the intellectually curious.
(photo: Marcio Fernandes)
"[A] tour de force by a mathematician who wants the intellectually curious and logically minded . . . to understand the foundations and beauty of one of the major branches of mathematics."
—Kirkus Reviews
"With broad culture and wry humor, Berlinski takes a look at some basic concepts in math and the people who worried about them. A treat!"
—Gregory Chaitin, author of Meta Math!
"With wit and philosophy, with the clash of symbols and history, Berlinski displays the inner soul of simple arithmetic."
—Philip J. Davis, professor emeritus of applied mathematics, Brown University

The presentation that Roark Travel Club/Club Resort Interval does is very convincing, so much so that after 3 refusals from us they offered us a $1500.00 lifetime package with $99.00 annual fees for life (my wife is a good negotiator). We could also put 20 family members on our plan for free. We thought, wow, we started at $8800.00 with $180.00 annual fees, so we signed on.
That night we went out to eat and spoke with another couple who invested $7000.00 in another travel club, then the club went bankrupt. Needless to say they lost their money. That worried us a bit so we began research on the internet and found this site as well as others that gave feedback on Roark Travel Club/CRI. We didn't read anything positive and I tried hard to find positive feedback (I would welcome any positive feedback if it is there).
Thank goodness for my wife who reads the fine print - we could rescind in 3 days, which is what we did. I will say there were no hassles in the cancellation process. The guy was very nice but was bummed that we were his second cancellation that day. They had presentations going on while we were there so I'm sure they wanted us out quickly.
By the way, our accomodations were just fair. We were in Branson for 4 days, 2 in this hotel and 2 elsewhere. The 2 days elsewhere were at Spinnaker, with 2 very nice condo units for $100.00/night for both. The Roark Travel club representative told us that this was one of their participating properties, which the Spinnaker resort representative denied.

Tanushree Podder found that there is more to Valencia than paella: spectacular architecture, good weather, a pulsating atmosphere and friendly people don't know what gave me the impression but I came back feeling that Valencia is all about fiesta and siesta.
The third largest Spanish city is famous for many things besides paella. Once a sleepy port,Valencia is now a beautiful and pulsating town that has a lot to offer to travellers daring to venture beyond the muchtreaded streets of Barcelona and Madrid.

From: "Jerry McCaughey" firstname.lastname@example.com
I'm glad it's still for sale. I'm going on a vacation to London but I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail you your payment which I'm sure you will get it in about 4 - 6 business days. I'll add $20 extra for the delay. Money Order or cashier check is the means I can pay you with. If this is acceptable by you, Send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and your phone number) so payment can be mail out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment. Awaiting your info. Thanks
Quick on the fingers looking this name up because this did not sound right, I found this website and here I am posting about this same person.

Diabetes Health Center
Old Diabetes Drug Has Advantages
July 16, 2007 -- Most type 2 diabetes drugs are equally effective for lowering blood sugar, but the generic drug metformin has fewer side effects than several newer, pricier medications, a government report finds.
Metformin users are less likely to gain weight than type 2 diabetes patients who take Avandia, Actos, or other newer medications, researchers concluded, and they are more likely to show improvements in so-called "bad" cholesterol.
The report was issued by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University's Evidence-based Practices Center reviewed 216 previously published studies in their effort to compare the effectiveness, risks, and costs of older and newer diabetes pills.
The study, which was made public today, will appear in the Sept. 18 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Diabetes Drugs: Old and New
All diabetes medications help to lower blood sugar, but they work in different ways. Metformin and drugs in the class known as sulfonylureas, such as Glipizide or Glyburide, are among the least-expensive oral diabetes medications because generic versions are now available.
The newer oral medications Avandia (by GlaxoSmithKline) and Actos (by Takeda Pharmaceuticals) -- both in the drug class thiazolidinedione (TDZ) -- are now among the most widely prescribed diabetes drugs.
Among the highlights of the report:
- Metformin was one of the few diabetes drugs not associated with an increase in weight. The report noted that other widely prescribed diabetes drugs have been shown to increase body weight by an average of 2 to 11 pounds.
- Use of metformin was associated with a decrease in blood levels of low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol, while use of the TDZ class of drugs raised levels good cholesterol and had a harmful effect on LDL "bad" cholesterol.
- Amaryl, Glucotrol, and other sulfonylurea drugs were more likely to cause unsafe drops in blood sugar (hypoglycemia) than other diabetes drugs.

love it!
looking at your icon and this picture it seems that you like that old styled alarm clock a lot It gives a vintage look that i like too ^^ The little leaf by the side of the alarm clock shows the more warm fall side Definitely a great, yet simple, touch. Good luck with the contest!
it is really beautiful
Nice textures.
I like the contrast of old, dark and worn wood against the shiny new chrome clock. Cool.
its got quite a lot of hard textures but the colours seem soft to me ^^
Very simple, but... somehow I like it.

Sweet Corn Risotto
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 30 mins
This recipe is best using sweet corn picked fresh from the garden or from your local farmer's market. In the winter months you can make this dish with canned corn and it is still very good. Adapted from The New Vegetarian Epicure.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 ear fresh-picked sweet corn or 591.47 ml canned corn
- 354.88 ml chopped onions
- 14.79 ml olive oil
- 7.39 ml butter
- 0.25 ml salt
- 1419.54-1892.72 ml delicate vegetable broth (or chicken broth may be substituted)
- 473.18 ml arborio rice
- 177.44 ml dry white wine
- 158.51 ml grated parmesan cheese
- 29.58 ml chopped flat leaf parsley
- parmesan cheese
- chopped parsley
- (NOTE: If using canned corn, skip this step.) Husk and wash corn and peel away all the silk, then slice the kernels off the cobs with a sharp knife. You should have about 2 1/2 cups corn kernels.
- Spin about a cup of the kernels in a food processor or blender until they are roughly chopped and milky. Scrape out the chopped corn and remix with the remaining whole kernels.
- In a large soup pot, saute the onion in the olive oil and butter with a pinch of salt until it is translucent and tender.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan heat the vegetable broth and regulate the flame to keep it just below a simmer.
- When onions are soft, add the Arborio rice to the soup pot and stir it gently with a wooden spoon for two minutes. Next add the wine and stir until it is absorbed.
- Add a soup ladle of the heated broth and all the corn kernels to the rice and stir, keep it just at a simmer. Keep stirring until the broth is nearly all absorbed into the rice, then add another ladle.
- Continue with this process for 25 more minutes (TIP: Set timer now)-- adding a little broth at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon fairly frequently, for around 25 minutes or until the rice is al dente. It should form a creamy sauce around grains that are no longer crunchy but still firm.
- When the rice is just achieving this perfect balance of tender-firmness, stir in the last ladle of broth, the Parmesan cheese, and 2 Tbsp of chopped parsley.
- It is ready to serve!

Excellent! Nice alternative to eating sweet corn right off the cob. Paired it with BLTs for the perfect summer supper.
This was really excellent! I made it to go with Firecracker Grilled Salmon or Ocean Trout and followed the recipe exactly, except for the substitution of chopped cilantro for the parsley to give it just a bit of kick. The directions were easy to follow, and the risotto turned out just perfect, al dente but not crispy.
Being relatively new to the making of Risotto, this recipe an excellent choice - great instructions and an excellent combination of ingredients. Used frozen corn and chicken broth. Other than snipping in parsley (didn't have the flat leaf on hand) made as posted - and have to agree with the previous reviewer - rich and creamy good! Thank you Averybird for another five star recipe.

I've installed the plugin and log out as Admin. After checking to see if the captcha would appear under a post, there's was nothing. Shouldn't there be some kinda script to put in your comment.php?
That is not how the plugin works.
A CAPTCHA is only shown after someone posts a comment AND Akismet flags it as spam. All other commenters will never see one.
I have the same concern. I logged out from my website and sent a test "contact" on my contact form and it didn't get filtered. It appeared in my mailbox ???
Please help me! I'm getting 100s of spam contact emails every day.
Thank you sooooo much in advance.
ps. in case you want to check it out http://www.editdesign.ca
Editk, this plugin only intercepts comments. The contact form and emails on your site are being generated by your theme, and there is no way for other plugins to intercept them.
One way to reduce your contact spam would be to have a contact form only on your contact page, instead of at the bottom of every single page on your site as you do currently.
Thank you Samir. I deleted the contact form from the bottom of the page. Will see what happen?
Also im looking into how to cgange the contact form to a new with a captcha. Will posted the result.
Thx again
Hi Editk,
There are lots of contact form plugins which support CAPTCHAs. Contact Form 7 is one of the most popular.
Thank you very much
Samir for the tip. What a breeze... I had a morning w/o 100s of spam. I'll work on my contact form. This is my weekend project.
Ty Samir for your help. I managed to activate my captcha and now the spam stopped. What a relief :D
All the bst to you....
Hi guys,
I hope its ok to write here but I want to promote our FREE SweetCaptcha project.

We took our tour on Halloween night in the rain and it was fantastic! Our guide was so knowledgeable about NOLA history and even got us into 2 haunted buildings. I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent tour. Little crowded at the cemetery but it was Halloween weekend after all.

I enjoyed this tour but just a heads up - I only booked this tour because I wanted to go see the cemetery where Interview with the Vampire was filmed and we did get lucky to go on Halloween when they kept the cemetery open. For all you other people who go on the normal Saturday and Sunday trips the cemetery closes at noon on Saturday and is closed all day on Sunday so you will not be able to go inside and see it. I would have not been happy because I think this is something that should be posted since they highlight it as one of the sites. Otherwise we saw some cool homes and the tour guide was very cool and funny.

Three to See: Suggestions for July 2
Something Known: New Kids on the Block (7:30 p.m. Marcus Amphitheater). Pleasures don't come much guiltier than watching 40-something men performing boy band staples from the '80s and early '90s, but NKOTB isn't pure nostalgia.

Soulstice Theatre can't find spark in Woody Allen's 'God'
In Woody Allen's movie "Love and Death," Boris (Allen) asks that quintessential Allen question: "What if there is no God?" Ten years later, in "The Purple Rose of Cairo," Mia Farrow's Cecilia answers, in words that would give any actor pause: A world without God, she tells Tom (Jeff Daniels), "would be like a movie with no point, and no happy ending."
Hence, it's no surprise that the dilemma opening "God" — a one-act Allen play written in the same year as "Love and Death" that's now being staged by Soulstice Theatre — involves a playwright named Hepatitis (Tim Kietzman) and an actor named Diabetes (Joe Dolan), struggling to come up with an ending for a play. »Read Full Article

Some people say that, in order to combat senility, it's good for elderly people to play mahjong because mahjong is a game which helps you to exercise your brain. The thing is, I don't think it's working for both my dad and my aunt.
Last week over lunch, there was a ruckus going on about some keys. A few days ago, my aunt's friend handed over the keys to the house nearby our house she intends to rent out. So, my aunt handed the keys to my sister to arrange for prospective tenant. After the new intended tenant saw the house, my bro-in-law gave back the rental house keys to my aunt.
When we got home one day for lunch, my aunt said that the rental house keys are very special. All the four keys could open the doors and gates to our house! We were shocked. I was thinking of the worst. Perhaps most of the locks we bought share the same pairs of keys? Made in China mah.. what do you expect? It can't be! There must be some mistakes!
I was anxious. So, my bro-in-law went upstairs to fetch the mysterious keys which could open all doors to the rental house as well as my house. Then he found that, those keys are actually OUR house keys and NOT the rental house's! LOL!
Then my aunt kept insisting that, that was the set of keys handed over by my Bro-in-law after visiting the rental house! My BIL also insisted that he handed the set of keys to my aunt that day right after the visit to the rental house.
My aunt went about looking for the house keys while we ate lunch. Then, my sis said, "Later you see. She will come and ask us to call the intended tenant if he took the keys!"
My sis was right.
Couldn't find the keys, my aunt told us to call up the intended tenant if he has taken the keys. We laughed so hard and almost choked on the chai ngor. Then, I shook my head feeling amused, seeing my aunt is indeed starting to lose her memory! Earlier, just as we got home, my mom was asking my aunt, why on earth she left the mop behind our kitchen cabinet. The wet mop was supposed to be placed in the bathroom and not behind the cabinet!
My mom was gloating because her elder sister is getting senile even with her rigorous health regime of taking calcium supplements, exercise and eating moderately. So, I suggested to my mom that my aunt should eat more leftover rice, big fat pork and salted fish, like my mom for better memory!
We had a good laugh. We also brought up another lor mor joke about our fourth aunt in Taiping. She cycled to do marketing in the morning. At 3 pm, she alerted us that our house bicycle was stolen! We looked high and low for the bicycle around the house but couldn't find it. My fourth aunt insisted that she had just used the bicycle this morning and shouldn't be missing! Then we found out, she left the bicycle at the grocery shop all morning and walked home, forgotten about the bicycle totally! Lucky it's a small kampong, so the bicycle was not stolen. We called the shop keeper and he said, yes, there's a red bicycle with basket parked in front of his shop.
Apparently, gingko biloba is merely a placebo. It doesn't have the properties to improve memory as claimed. I guess, losing memory runs in the family.. so I better start writing down things if I want to remember them and perhaps I pray that I would die first before I start losing memory!
So where were the keys? They were nicely tucked in my aunt's own pants pocket and she even took a nap and she didn't feel a thing!
*Lor mor is in hokkien, which means senile.

Calling the Missouri Department of Conservation "a strong leader in natural resource management," Quail Unlimited (QU) and the Southeast Quail Study Group recently honored the agency's multi-faceted, long-term effort to restore bobwhite quail populations.
QU President Rocky Evans presented the Northern Bobwhite Conservation Initiative (NBCI) Group Achievement Award at the annual meeting of the North American Fish and Wildlife Association in Portland, Ore.
Conservation Department Director John Hoskins accepted the award for the agency.
"The Missouri Department of Conservation, under the direction of John Hoskins, is a strong leader in natural resource management and the preservation of wildlife habitat on both public and private lands and has truly earned this prestigious award," said Evans.
Efforts that contributed to the honor include:
Updating the Conservation Department's quail management plan with specific regional implementation goals; creating a new staff position to coordinate the NBCI; building partnerships to bring state, federal and private resources to bear on quail management challenges; establishing partnerships for quail habitat work on private land, demonstration farms and the MO Quail Academy; promoting practices that increase quail habitat through federal farm bill programs; conducting "Quail 101" training to make agency staff more effective; developing a comprehensive statewide public information campaign to raise awareness of quail restoration programs and methods; hosting workshops, seminars and field days to promote quail conservation at the community level.
The Southeast Quail Study Group launched the NBCI in 2002 with the goal of restoring bobwhite quail numbers to the level that existed in 1980.
The initiative divides the southeastern United States into 15 Bird Conservation Regions to encourage coordination with other bird conservation efforts across state boundaries.
