I asked Fredorrarci over at Sport Is A TV Show to help me out with a title for this post and a remark from him made me think – Are the players at fault when England crash out of the competition – or is it the associated songs that should be blamed ? Do we musically shoot ourselves in the foot before it all begins and does Capello/the F.A. actually have it right by not having an official song this time round…?
We can’t point fingers at Joe public and their home-made attempts for this unintentional sabotage, it has got to be those that are in the industry. There’s your culprits. They have the easy access to a recording studio, they have phone numbers… These people should know better.
Today I present to you two sides to the argument. You decide if I’m wrong or right on this.
Originally famous for…? Thanks to Peter Kaye this lounge singer got a second wind of fame when the comedian championed his 1971 hit Is This The Way To Amarillo. Christie continued to ride this wave of success for the World Cup.
What did he do in 2006 ? Sung a reworded version of his biggest hit.
Wasitforcharidee ? No but ‘Is This the Way to Amarillo?’ was re-released the year before for Children In Need.

Originally famous for…? Had a number 1 hit in 1961 with Johnny Remember Me – but more importantly: as well as singing Leyton got into acting and had a starring role as “Willie the Tunnel King” in The Great Escape.
What did he do in 2006 ? A cover version of a Jeff Beck classic.
Originally famous for…? In 1984 he sang That’s Living Alright which was the them tune of the TV show Auf Wiedersehen Pet. The single reached number 3 in the charts.
What did he do in 2006 ? A reworded version of the above song.
What did he do in 2006 ? Virgin Radio’s Christian O’Connell was behind this. Listeners voted on which song should be released and a reworded version of Hurry Up Harry was the winner. Blur’s Graham Coxon was on guitar and Brian Blessed was in the video.
Wasitforcharidee…? Yes. All proceeds went to the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Originally famous for…? Had a minor hit in 1977 with Whole Wide World and the song never died. Since then it has constantly been covered and played by other bands and in the movies. The most notable was with Will Ferrell in the movie Stranger than Fiction, in the film he picked up a guitar and started to sing the song and then the original took over.
What did he do in 2006 ? A reworded version of the above.
I’ve chosen a select few here but there were more done by ‘celebrities’. As mentioned previously this is only skimming the surface of the many, many tunes that were put out there four years ago.
This year with the lack of an official song this number I’m sure will be doubled.
Additionally: I have some extra notes, a sort of postscript to the previous and to the above. Keep an eye on the Subs Bench for that. But before then I want to post something else World Cup ’06 related. One that blows everything else out of the water.

Winning the 43rd edition of the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide was special to Bryson DeChambeau for a number of reasons. It was his second PGA TOUR title in as many years. It came in one of the elite events on TOUR hosted by legend Jack Nicklaus. It was populated by one of the year’s strongest fields.
And DeChambeau had to earn it, overcoming a bogey on the 72nd hole to fall into a playoff, but then outplaying Kyle Stanley and Byeong Hun An in sudden death to earn a handshake from the Golden Bear, not to mention $1.602 million.
DeChambeau didn’t have close to his A-game on June 3 for the final round of the Memorial, but his short game and putting were good enough until he beat An on the second playoff hole with a 12-foot birdie putt on the same 18th green where he had three-putted at the end of regulation.
After missing the 18th green his first two tries on Sunday - the first costing him a bogey that dropped him into a playoff with An and Kyle Stanley - DeChambeau got it right the third time, drawing an 8-iron to 12 feet above the hole and sinking the decisive birdie putt for his second PGA Tour title.
DeChambeau, the 54-hole leader, carded a final-round 71 at Muirfield Village Golf Club to finish at 15-under 273 before winning the first three-way playoff in Memorial history and the fourth playoff in the last five years. Stanley, the second round co-leader, had a 70 while An shot 69.
The win propelled DeChambeau to fourth in the FedEx Cup standings and eighth in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings, a goal that tops all others for the second-year tour member. But the real prize for golf’s deepest thinker is backing up last year’s victory in the John Deere Classic with another win, one that came with Tournament Founder and Host Jack Nicklaus looking on and against a field that included eight of the top 10 in the world rankings and five-time Memorial winner Tiger Woods.
And not even with his best stuff. He saved par from off the green 17 of 21 times, thanks mostly to leading the field in strokes gained-putting.
“I kind of grinded it out,” he said.
The win came one year after DeChambeau didn’t even make the field at Muirfield Village because of a deepening slump. He was in the midst of missing eight cuts in a row and 13 in his first 17 starts of the year, a string that ended with a poor U.S. Open performance.
The Memorial title was bigger, however, primarily because of the quality of the golf course and the strength of the field. Not only did eight of the top 10 in the world compete, but six of them finished in the top 15, while Woods, who was lurking all weekend thanks to great ball-striking, ended up tied for 23rd. DeChambeau had to fight off a decorated bunch.
He played well enough. He found a way.

IceCast / sourcefabric airtime - Prometeus - Your 'net consultants !
Do these software not heavy on cpu and disk resources?
I don't know, but, as a general rule, we can take higher than usual CPU loads, it is the disk operations that are the bottleneck in the industry.
If you need more CPU, that can be arranged (in reasonable limits, even if we have a bitcoin miner here...), io heavy apps on low plans are not welcome, in general.
is it easy to check our disk io if it's heavy or not?
Do you plan to stream something? Live or with recorded content?
Music won't generate much io even if it is recorded (i.e. stored on the VPS and read from there because if you stream from your PC, won't have io at all).
Was waiting for spammers to see when we are known enough.

1 Vintage Giorgio Armani 672 1082 sunglasses feature the much desired Armani Italian tortoise shell frame and ear stems that have yellow highlights and really look great with all skin tones.

The unisex Italian frame measures approximately 5.25" temple to temple, a perfect size for use as men's or women's sunglasses. You'll find the Giorgio Armani logo subtly embossed on the outside of both ear stems, and the inside of one stem is marked Giorgio Armani Made in Italy while the other stem is marked 672 1082 140. Both lenses are laser etched GA near the hinges and the original celluloid nose pads are also marked GA, part of a Beverly Hills, CA assortment of fine vintage sunglasses.
2 Step up another level beyond our already unequaled vintage condition standards with new old stock Giorgio Armani 672 1082 sunglasses in mint, unworn condition.

I never could figure out what caused it, so eventually I put a quick-release clamp on one of the terminals and started disconnecting the battery every night.

Remember the 1980s, when velcro sneakers were the hip new thing? (Incidentally, VELCRO® is a registered trademark for VELCRO® brank hook-and-loop fasteners but we use it here as a general term for the fastening technology). Only the coolest kids in school had a fresh pair of Zips. Velcro left a bit to be desired though. The hooks and loops would wear out, and the sneakers always seemed to pop apart at the worst possible moments — like when running or jumping. These days, velcro seems to be relegated to the elderly, which gives it the stigma of “old people shoes”.
So what is an aspiring hacker to do, just tie their shoelaces like a simple plebe? [Pentland_Designs] has the answer with his shoelace locks. The design is his take on the classic plastic clip found on backpacks and jackets. [Pentland_Designs] has added a twist though — a “button” which flexes a plastic ring, releasing the main body of the clip. This means the user doesn’t have to bend down when taking off their shoes. This isn’t just good for folks with disabilities. Anyone with back problems will tell you that avoiding a couple of deep bends at the end of the day helps a lot.
Check out the video of [Pentland_Designs] Shoelace locks after the break. For more shoe-tech, check out these LEGO self-lacing shoes, or this teardown of Nike’s self-lacing offering.

PRINCETON, N.J. – Harvard baseball's Matt Rothenberg has been named Ivy League Player of the Week as announced by the conference today. The senior played an instrumental role in Harvard's season series win over Dartmouth this past weekend, the Crimson's first since 2005.
A senior, Rothenberg shined in his final three games in a Crimson jersey. The second baseman went five-for-ten overall at the plate, while tallying seven RBI and scoring four runs of his own. Five of those RBI came in game three where he hit two home runs, including a two-run bomb in the bottom of the eighth that won the game for the Crimson by a score of 18-17.
Over the weekend, Rothenberg averaged a 1.100 slugging percentage and collected a team-high 11 bases. He managed a .538 on base percentage along with four put outs, nine assists and a perfect fielding percentage.
Rothenberg completed his Crimson career having appeared in 130 games, accumulating a .305 batting average, 53 RBI, including 25 this season, and five home runs.
The Harvard baseball team ended the 2018 campaign 22-20 overall, the best record since 2005 and 12-9 in Ivy League action, the best conference record since 2007.

There are a considerable number of self-help organizations dedicated to helping individuals with alcohol-related problems.
Moderation Management [88*,89,90] is a nine-step self-help program designed to assist individuals with mild to moderate levels of alcohol dependence achieve either moderation or abstinence.
The program views moderation as a sensible and natural first step to change harmful drinking.
Problem drinkers give themselves 30 days of abstinence before testing whether moderation will work. If a moderation goal proves to be unattainable, a goal of abstinence is typically recommended.
At meetings, members provide each other with support, share experiences, and review Moderation Management guidelines for controlled drinking.
Outside of the meetings, members are encouraged to examine how alcohol has affected their lives, identify and focus on life goals, and maintain an awareness of the guidelines and limits for moderate drinking.
(8) for older adults (55+), do not drink more than one drink per day.
There are no published outcomes studies evaluating the effectiveness of Moderation Management.
However, two recent studies[88*,92] attempted to identify characteristics and motives of problem drinkers who seek help from the program.
The findings indicated that Moderation Management attracts mostly Caucasians (over 90%) who are generally below the age of 50 years (over 66%).
They tended to have less severe drinking problems, were more educated, and have greater economic resources, than the majority of persons in addiction self-help groups. Less than 25% of meeting attendees had ever received professional treatment services.
Although reasons for interest in Moderation Management varied, callers frequently expressed that the service was a better match for their (1) drinking problem, (2) life experiences, and (3) view of the importance of personal control in managing their drinking.
The findings suggest that Moderation Management tends to attract young, white, mid to high socioeconomic status problem drinkers who are unlikely to use traditional, abstinence-based self-help services.

- People with disabilities; Fiction.
Contributor Bio(s): Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes are a married couple who were both injured during the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. Jessica’s service dog, Rescue, joined their family in 2014. Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes live in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Disappointed Rescue becomes a service dog rather than a seeing eye dog; meanwhile, human Jessica learns her leg has been amputated. Brought together, they form a powerful, caring bond working as a team. Based on a true story, the quiet and stirring text pairs beautifully with the spot art and full-page illustrations, which use color and white space to convey time, meaning, and emotion with great effect. Copyright 2018 Horn Book Guide Reviews.
Rescue is disappointed to learn that he will not become a Seeing Eye dog. "That was hard for Rescue to hear. Helping people who can't see was the family business." Instead, he is assigned to the service-dog team. Meanwhile, Jessica, lying in a hospital bed, learns one of her legs has been amputated. "That was hard to hear. She had only ever walked on her own two legs." Spot art and full-page illustrations show the progress and challenges that bring their separate journeys together. The two form a powerful bond and work as a team to take care of each other. When Jessica's other leg must also be amputated, "Rescue knew just what to do to help Jessica, all on his own," and the art shows her holding him sleeping in her hospital bed. Together, they "had to start all over again." The quiet and stirring text pairs beautifully with the art, which uses color and white space to convey time, meaning, and emotion with great effect. An authors' note explains that Rescue and Jessica's story is based on a real-life partnership, begun when Jessica Kensky was injured in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing (her husband and co-author, Patrick Downes, also lost his leg in the bombing). In the main text, Jessica's injuries are not explained; the story instead focuses on the power and comfort that comes from her relationship with her service dog. julie roach Copyright 2018 Horn Book Magazine Reviews.

MyEV for Tesla Model S: A Hardware Installation Review.
Almost a year ago, on June 20, 2014, I contributed to my first, and only, so far, Indiegogo project. The project is the MyEV Electric Vehicle Logger and App.
We received the product in mid April and I got around to installing it a few days later. The instructions from MyEV are pretty straightforward, but it is somewhat disjointing having to remove the center console to access the Tesla proprietary cable to connect the logger to.
A couple of pictures of the logger..
I attached the OBD logger to the cable to get it ready.
Accessing this part is the “scary” part because you have to snap it off.
Here it is ready to plug into.
Plug in the cable so that you can install the OBD MyEV logger.
Snake it in, tuck some of the cable so that it is easier to reattach.
Pretty good, actually. But, I’ll cover that later. It provides the gamification and competitiveness between owners of the system, as was originally planned. Firer more, it’s supposed to provide a snapshot of the car’s battery health. Have yet to see those estimates.

IT’S ALMOST A YEAR since I encountered human pain in a way that I never thought I would and there is rarely a day I do not think of it, more so because it happened in the place I go for mornings hikes with the dog.
A young person had decided to end their life and that grey, cloudy morning was draped in heartbreaking, haunting silence. It is impossible to imagine the mental pain of making that decision, and impossible to imagine the pain of loved ones left behind.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t an isolated incident. A couple of months later, a second makeshift memorial appeared in the park underneath the bridge. There are flowers and messages appearing regularly; the pain is present every second of every day. The air is heavy as you walk by. Two of so many.
In the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) recently released report on suicide prevention, suicide was deemed one of the top 10 causes of death in Canada. Among people between 15 and 24, suicide is the second leading cause of death after car accidents. Male suicide accounts for 70 percent among youth 15 to 19 years old.
Thirty years ago, I had sat in my truck staring at the Thompson River, near Juniper Beach, for more than an hour. Before that, I had driven, mechanically, alongside the flood-swollen Deadman River, trying to find a place to plunge my truck into the depths – a place where it would appear to be accidental. I had failed at that. It seemed I had not slept for days. My mind was filled with dull pain. Then someone tapped on my window, I never really saw the man. He asked, “Are you alright?” “I’m fine” I replied, ‘I just need to sleep.” “No,” he shot back “Are you really all right?” I did not speak further with him, but those few words changed my life. They were trans-formative in ways I cannot explain, even today. I knew then that that I wanted to get well. With the help of my doctor and family I did. A bystanders words, his concern, changed my life. This all followed my return to the institution in Calgary, where I had been raised as an orphan boy. Subsequently, I had fallen into clinical depression and so nearly fell off the earth. The lesson, notice even a stranger’s pain and reach out in some way to touch them. There is inexplicable power in caring for others.

text: Chirped microwave pulse compression using a photonic microwave filter with nonlinear phase response to implement matched filtering is proposed and investigated. The photonic microwave filter with the required phase response is realized based on optical phase to microwave phase conversion through single-sideband modulation and heterodyne detection. A detailed theoretical analysis on the photonic microwave filter design and the linearly chirped microwave pulse compression is developed. A photonic microwave filter having a quadratic phase response with a bandwidth of 3 GHz is implemented. An application of the photonic microwave filter for linearly chirped microwave pulse compression is investigated.

The war of words between managed care and pharmaceutical manufacturers, which began when Gilead set the price for its drug to treat the hepatitis C virus (HCV), has taken off in October with the reclassification of a trio of cancer drugs from Genentech.
Growth in the “specialty pharma” sector, where prices are rising much faster than drug prices generally, has drawn concern from payers and the umbrella group that represents them, while the trade group that represents drugmakers is pushing back against critics, saying that it faces challenges in bringing life-saving therapies to market.
America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) took aim at the $1000-per-pill cost of Gilead’s Sovaldi, the breakthrough treatment for HCV as a symbol of the rising challenge of the specialty pharma sector, which AHIP says accounts for an “unsustainable” share of health plans. An AHIP issue brief from February 2014 stated that in 2012, specialty drugs accounted for 1% of all prescriptions but 25% of the drug costs.
On September 18, 2014, Genentech announced that 3 mainstay cancer therapies – Avastin, Herceptin, and Rituxan – would no longer be available to hospitals from wholesale distributors and would instead be sold through a select group of specialty distributors, increasing their costs. The change took effect October 1, 2014, giving the hospitals little time to absorb the change.
In recent days, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, has countered with its Access Better Coverage initiative, which is designed to guide consumers shopping for coverage on the exchanges as they select health plans based on what out-of-pocket expenses they would face for prescription drugs.
But the broader message of the campaign is to point out instances in which plans have assigned all patients with conditions such as HIV into higher-price drug tiers, which was the topic of a well-read editorial in The American Journal of Managed Care by Gerry Oster, PhD, and A. Mark Fendrick, MD.

Mucus glycoproteins (mucins) from cervical pregnancy mucus were fractionated by using rate-zonal centrifugation in a gradient of guanidinium chloride. The distribution of the macromolecules, as assessed by using sialic acid determination, suggested the presence of three populations of different size. Individual fractions were subjected to laser light-scattering performed as total-intensity measurements as well as photon correlation spectroscopy. The results showed that points of inflexion were present in the distribution of both Mr and DT (translational diffusion coefficient) and that the three populations have Mr values of approx. 24 × 10(6), 16 × 10(6) and 6 × 10(6) respectively. The weight-average Mr for the whole distribution, as calculated from the values obtained for the individual fractions, was 13.6 × 10(6), which is in good agreement with that found for the unfractionated material (11.1 × 10(6]. Plots of log RG (radius of gyration) and log (1/DT) versus log Mr are in keeping with the macromolecules being linear flexible chains.

Two weeks ago I was in My Son Sanctuary - a cluster of abandoned Hindu temples locating around 40km from Hoi An - to photograph Charles & Kirsty - who flew all the way from Australia to Vietnam with their babies for their elope wedding, without any guests.
It was just me, the couple with their babies, and Leanne from Wedding Celebrant Vietnam. We found ourselves walking into the jungle at 8 in the morning, under heavy rain caused by storm Damrey which heavily hit Vietnam that morning. We arrived at the ruins after 30 minutes walking under the rain, soaked, having no choice to move the ceremony inside one of the temples that was used as a display room. It was warm, quiet inside when the couple exchange vows and rings, and you can still hear the rain and the strong cold wind blows outside - that was a very special moment for all of us, I felt honored to be part of their wedding.
I then took the couple outside for some portraits, in and out constantly during the rain. We finished at 11am, everyone was soaked and cold, but we did have a great time, I overcame a challenge for myself as well. Here's some of my favorite shots of those moment.
Congratulations to Charles and Kirsty on such a special moment, and thanks to Wedding Celebrant Vietnam for putting all of this together.

two weeks ago i was in my son sanctuary - a cluster of abandoned hindu temples locating around 40km from hoi an - to photograph charles & kirsty - who flew all the way from australia to vietnam with their babies for their elope wedding, without any guests.
it was just me, the couple with their babies, and leanne from wedding celebrant vietnam. we found ourselves walking into the jungle at 8 in the morning, under heavy rain caused by storm damrey which heavily hit vietnam that morning. we arrived at the ruins after 30 minutes walking under the rain, soaked, having no choice to move the ceremony inside one of the temples that was used as a display room. it was warm, quiet inside when the couple exchange vows and rings, and you can still hear the rain and the strong cold wind blows outside - that was a very special moment for all of us, i felt honored to be part of their wedding.
i then took the couple outside for some portraits, in and out constantly during the rain. we finished at 11am, everyone was soaked and cold, but we did have a great time, i overcame a challenge for myself as well. here's some of my favorite shots of those moment.
congratulations to charles and kirsty on such a special moment, and thanks to wedding celebrant vietnam for putting all of this together.

This is a good visualization of gerrymandering. Which (I don’t argue here) is specifically how we got into this hideous mess.
This story about Maria Sibyl Merian, a pioneering scientist in the late 1600s, is captivating.
If you haven’t seen the latest movie about mathematicians and engineers, Hidden Figures is wonderful – and offers lessons for resistance for today.
Tenure is important. Duh. But, there are effective ways of defending tenure against attack, and then there are defenses of tenure that actually do more harm than good. The Do Nots and the Dos of defending tenure.
A survivor’s guide to being a muzzled scientist.
This explains how Facebook’s hiring process was designed with the goal of increasing diversity — but nonetheless falls short. Seriously, please read this, because it applies to academic job searches and the grad student recruitment process and so much else in life.
How do you argue for diversity?
The admittedly useful list of predatory journals maintained by for-profit publisher advocate Jeffrey Beall went dark. There is some intrigue about how and why he pulled it. A much briefer writeup is in Retraction Watch.
Speaking of the price of college, this is (supposedly) the bottom line in this story about a fake news masterpiece, from headline to photograph. Davidson College must be so proud of its students.
Eric Pianka writes about the challenges facing today’s lizard ecologists.
A Chaos of Delight. Andy Murray creates gorgeous photographs of mesofauna.
A miracle happens just when your wish for it is so real so you could eat it for breakfast instead of eggs.
The fearsome power of words.
Meg Duffy has (another) great idea: when you email your students or other people over whom you have authority, be specific about things even when you think it’s not a big deal, just to make sure folks don’t think it’s not a big deal. Because, otherwise, something like “Could you drop by to chat for a few minutes on Friday?” can sound like an Email Of Doom.
Obama’s parting gift: the power to not fear white racism.
The science press must rethink its habits.
On transitioning from biology to data science.
Here’s a small selection of editorial cartoons on the eve of the inauguration.
5 minutes, 5 calls. If you want to work to change things in the US as a citizen, picking up the phone is probably the most efficient and effective use of your time. Don’t even bother emailing, or posting on social media, if you’re trying to influence decision makers. Take a few minutes out every weekday and make a few phone calls. Seriously. And while we’re at it, here’s a Resistance Manual. By the way, I’ve added this image to my profiles and such on social media.
Why we need a project to document hate crimes.
Obama’s Secret to Surviving the White House Years: Books. He was a busy guy, I am sure, but he found the time to read.
How to stay outraged without losing your mind.
A few notes on gaslighting.
Once, a fearsome murderer invaded a Zen master’s home.
The Washington Post conducted a survey asking people to evaluate relative crowd sizes on the national mall. The results are simultaneously shocking and wholly expected.
By the way, if you’re messaging with people (including me), consider using the Signal app instead of texts or Facebook Messenger or What’s App. Nobody is eavesdropping on Signal and (By the way, did you know Mark Zuckerberg’s big goal for this year? To visit all 50 states. What politicians might call a “listening tour.”) What’s App is owned by Facebook, by the way.
This short writeup in the Boston Globe, from shortly before the inauguration, explained exactly how it is that the US is off of its rails. Like really messed up. Not in the normal way messed up, but seriously in irreparable trouble. Just these few short paragraphs can help put a pin in it, just to help us get our heads around the situation that has unfolded around us.
Great collection of resources this week, thank you.
As usual, a great list of links this week, Terry.
I wanted to point out, however, that Whatsapp uses the same encryption protocol as Signal, and is generally agreed to be easier to use. Chats in Whatsapp are now end-to-end encrypted, which means that, without the keys linked to your phone, no one, not even Whatsapp, can decrypt them en-route. If someone does have access to your phone, both Signal and Whatsapp will only be as secure as your phone password anyway.
The Guardian recently published an article pointing out what they claimed was a security hole, but a large number of independent security researchers have said the Guardian article painted a very misleading picture (http://technosociology.org/?page_id=1687), and they are worried that people will read it, try Signal instead and realize it’s not very user friendly, then just switch to SMS, which has zero security.
Eric, that’s a good point about WhatsApp, yes it’s encrypted, but unlike Signal, WhatsApp keeps more information about its users and, frankly, I don’t trust Facebook to keep its information secure and private. They have a very long history of acquiring information from its users, using this for profit, and consistently altering users’ privacy setting so that more information is public than they want to be public. Even if WhatsApp is secure now, I had 0% confidence that it will be in the future. I mean, if it’s a free product with no information they’re getting from us, then why did Facebook spend almost 20 billion dollars on it?

Before you can import data from your meter, you will need to install the device drivers that came with your cable and then connect your meter to the cable. It is a 2.5mm mini plug. Our test meter, a FreedomStyle® Lite displayed PC when connected. It says PC when the cable is plugged in even if the USB side is not connected to your computer. Once connected you press the Read Device button on the programs Home Page and the data is transferred to your PC. On the first transfer you will be asked to assign the device to a user. It appears they read the serial number and assign each device to a specific user. I nice feature was CoPilot® tellijng me to check the time settings on my meter. I had forgot to change the time for day light savings time.
Once imported you have the option to view many different charts, each providing a useful visual representation of your glucose and testing patterns.
The Logbook Report is particularly useful because it provides a good visual record on how many times a day you are measuring and which times. Each day is on one line and you can easily see if you are taking too many readings or not enough readings at certain times of the day.
Summary reports combine a Modal Day Report with a Log and Pie chart. This is a good report to print and take to your doctor or diabetes counselor to give them a quick look at your daily blood sugar patterns.
The Diary List is a master list of all entries in the database. To customize this report your right click on a column header and select Customize Columns. A small module pops up and gives you the option to drag in new column categories or drag existing categories away and drop them in the box. You might find this useful if you have data that is too long for the cell it is in which forces a word wrap and a taller line height. By removing unneeded columns your data can spread out and give a lower line height. If you have a long report this could greatly reduce the page count.
