"""this is the snippet from http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/3/
Django uses Context, not RequestContext when you call render_to_response. We always want to use RequestContext, so that django adds the context from settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. This way we automatically get necessary settings variables passed to each template. So we use a custom method, render_response instead of render_to_response. Hopefully future Django releases will make this unnecessary."""
