A blood sugar chart is an important tool to help you manage your blood sugar levels. The more thoroughly and precisely you use your blood sugar log, the better you'll be able to manage your diabetes. Use these tips to make sure your making your blood sugar monitoring work optimally for you.
Know Your Normal Glucose Sugar Level
For most diabetics, normal blood sugar is between 70 and 140mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). But those are extremes that you should avoid. After an examination and blood test, your doctor will give you a more narrow range that you can manage. Write this range in your log so you'll always know where your blood sugar should lie.
Once you know your acceptable range, keep close track of your normal glucose sugar level by testing after meals two to four times a day. Never assume your blood sugar levels by high or low glucose sugar symptoms. Test each time using your blood sugar meter. Test at the same time each day whenever possible and record the results in your blood sugar chart immediately so you don't forget.
Supplement Your Blood Sugar Chart
A chart that just keeps track of your levels will go far in helping you monitor your control. But it can do much more. When used correctly, it will inform you about how your daily activities affect your blood sugar levels from hour to hour.
A great way to make your chart work hard for you is to keep a supplemental diary. In the diary, keep careful records of your daily activities. Start by writing down what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat it. Don't forget to include drinks and snacks. Also record your medication and exercise, the time you took it, its quality and duration.
Whenever your blood sugar levels are outside their range or different from the usual, refer to your supplemental diary. Then in the notes section of your blood sugar chart, write down any unusual activity that might have affected the strange levels. If nothing was out of the ordinary, note that too. The notes may help you and your doctor come up with a solution at your next appointment.
Get Your A1C Level Checked
An A1C (sometimes refered to as Hemoglobin A1c) test measures the amount of glucose that sticks to your red blood cells. This glucose count gives physicians a good idea of your average blood sugar levels during the life of the red blood cells. Since blood cells have a lifespan of roughly 3 to 4 months, newly diagnosed diabetics should have an A1C test once every three months.
Your blood sugar chart and your A1C test will give your doctor a complete picture of how your blood sugar management is going. Your careful notation of your lifestyle habits in your blood sugar log will help the doctor recommend certain non-invasive lifestyle changes. These changes in conjunction with continued monitoring will help you better manage your blood sugar and prevent the diabetes related diseases that often result from unstable levels.
Once repeated A1C tests show that your blood sugar levels
are acceptable and stable, you won't have to go for A1C tests as often. Stable diabetics may only have to have their levels tested once or twice per year to make sure that they are still on track. This reduction in testing is one of the best signs that your chart is working optimally to prolong your life and increase its quality.
A chart can be your best and most useful tool in the fight against the ravages of diabetes. But only if you use it correctly to thoroughly record and investigate the nature of your blood sugar levels. Commit to your blood sugar chart and your health and you'll live a longer, healthier life.

Product Description
Signed, numbered and dated by the artist.
It's Foolish But It's Fun, the title of which is taken from a 1940's song sheet, was originally a very large drawing in black chalk, measuring 2m wide. The setting of the drawings is based on the climactic finale of 1933 film The Song of Songs in which Marlene Dietrich uses a sledgehammer to destroy a life-size sculpture of herself. Montaged into the scenario are other figures, including the camera of Leni Riefenstahl in the foreground and the contemporary figure of a ballet dancer in the chair.
This clash of deep psychological conflict, the turbulent mix of early black and white Hollywood glamour and its attendant dark side, are the focus of Fowler's work. She becomes the director of her own dramas, cutting and editing – collaging, in her own virtuoso drawings, imagery appropriated from films and the actual lived lives of both celebrated icons such as Dietrich, as well as unknown figures, drowned in the wake of Hollywood's dream machine.
This giclée print is on heavy, fine art Hahnemühle photo-rag paper. The smooth yet slightly textured surface of this paper allows for the highest quality reproduction of the original artwork. The inks used are archival and will not fade.

I love our new house! So much room and storage and places to do things! Ahhh!
I'm a crafty girl with too much information in my head and I'm sharing it with blog land!
I love our new house! So much room and storage and places to do things! Ahhh!
In Junior High we had to pick an extra curricular activity. I chose band. I loved being part of the band. In High School I decided to try out for the Color Guard in Marching Band. I loved it. Every single minute of it. The routines, the muscles I gained from spinning, the football games, the crowd, the true school spirit. Oh how I miss those days.
Ever since then I have loved football and school spirit. Admittedly, I can't follow along with what is actually happening in the game as I am just recently learning what everything is and who all the players are and their job on the team. {Thanks Scott and Amber}
Since I graduated college and have moved out into the real world I really missed having a team to cheer for and to watch when football season came around. Luckily my state has a FANTASTIC college football team – The University of Arkansas Razorbacks! Razorback football is in a whole new dimension from what my college football was. The tailgating for a Hogs game is HUGE!
I'm working on making myself a game day dress {I'll post instructions on that!} and in the mean time I decided it was time to make myself a desktop background. Everything I was finding online was plain, boring, blah. I'm a bit of a girly girl these days, who knew?! So I made some myself {Using Microsoft PowerPoint! No fancy software needed}, and I thought I'd share a few backgrounds each week to get everyone pumped about the games!
First Ones Up: Polka dots… oh how I love polka dots!
You can download all 3 in a zip file from google docs.
{Disclaimer: I am not making any money from these backgrounds and no copyright infringement is intended. Chevron pattern used was obtained from Design House Digital, Polka Dot pattern used was obtained from Katie's Wish blog}
I first downloaded Evernote on my Android phone to keep track of those random things I came across online that I wanted to go back to (usually giveaways that I wanted to enter, one day I will win a Silhouette Cameo!). I remembered that you could get Evernote for your computer too and downloaded it onto my new laptop. I had been looking for a good way to keep track of my thoughts and ideas for the wedding and my Pinterest board is a bit over full (anybody else?) and I wanted to make my wedding master list and have everything there in WORDS and PHOTOS.
I can break things down into Notebooks and then Notes… so I have lists and then sub lists. Does anybody else get excited about sub lists like I do? I can break down things and think about them one tiny element at a time.
And I can do this from my laptop AND my phone and they sync together so I can work on a note tonight and then go off somewhere tomorrow with my phone and be able to pull it up and remember what I need or the look I'm going for.
I really think this will be a life saver for the wedding!
{edit btwn writing this and posting it: I also added another "notebook" and converted my massive craft to do list over to it. I had a 19 page list in categories in my purse for the last month. And now it's in Evernote!}
Much list love to you all,
I've been pinning and pinning and pinning (no surprise there) and I have accumulated several pins on my Tips, Tricks, Cleaning & Organization board that involve Home Management Binders. I also noticed that several of my close girlfriends were also pinning them. So I thought I'd throw together a post on some binder inspiration.
I also want to go step by step and make one for my home. I've also asked a couple of my girl friends to help me out and make one too. We all have different styles and it will be fun to see how different they are!
This is a full printable set you can get from Crystal Wilkerson that goes into a mini size 3 ring binder. The colors are bright and fun. She also includes motivational quotes to put throughout as well. The set will run you $30-35 depending on which one you purchase. It can be purchased here.
The Nest Effect has several posts one by one on each section of her binder, you can purchase her set here for $45. Her binders are based on the Dave Ramsey method of debt repayment. Her sections include: Debt, Savings, Budget and Home Information.
Over on Twenty62 blog you can find another section by section posts on how she set hers up. She also gives you printable versions for FREE. Who doesn't love free? Her sections include: Cover, Calendar, Contacts, Meal Planning, and Cleaning.
Another fabulous setup in a mini size binder from A Bowl Full of Lemons. She shows you how she set up all her tabs and such using a lot of Martha Stewart for Avery products. Her sections include: Monthly, Notes, To do, Menu planning, Budget, Blog, sponsors, ideas, giveaways, income, checklists, and School. She also uses color coding to help keep organized (I don't know about you but Color Coding works wonders for me and my visual brain!
Over on Sprouting a Little Nostalgia she has a really big binder! Her sections include: birthdays, week at a glance, daily, new years resolutions, thoughtfulness planner, to do lists, long term to do, home balance sheet, blogging to do list, carpool to do, a "honey-dew" list, recipes, menu planner, grocery list, cleaning, faith, contacts, health, family night, infertility, important numbers (docs, etc), homeschool, fitness, baby sitters, home repair, business, goals, parenting goals, hobbies, college, pets, vehicles, parties, warranties, Christmas, family time, passwords, organizing, taxes, notes, and finally blogging. Told you it was a big one. She breaks down each section and what she has in it and even links to printables she used.
Over at Dawn at Home she doesn't use a binder but instead uses a file crate with 52 folders with each week on them. She also staples paper to the front cover to use as her weekly planning sheet. I think this is an excellent idea too. You could put birthday cards into the week that they are in, have bills in the week. You just pull out the week you are in and work through them that way. She also sticks a month at a glance calendar in the front with a note pad. I think this is a great alternative to a binder! (especially if you are home schooling like she is). I also think this would be great to put memories from that week in to the file folders to scrapbook later (school projects, ticket stubs, photos, etc).
I hope these links and inspirations help you get motivated to make a Home Management binder for yourself. I will be back soon with ways to start out your binder, including recovering old binders, where to get the best prices on supplies, and ways to make your own tabs!
See you soon!
I'm not sure I'm using the right word here… ephemera… Essentially I'm going to show you how to make your own art or additions or elements for scrapbooking or art journaling. ((someone want to help me out with the word I'm looking for here?))
I wanted to make a small journal for all the quotes I love and have been pinning on my Pinterest that I wanted to have to display. I thought about making a small clip board and changing it everyday and then I remembered I have 12 empty half size spiral notebooks. And that would work perfectly for making a quote coffee table book.
I printed them all off into small sizes. I was trying to figure out a quick way to do this, after attempting to put them all into a PowerPoint and arrange them I realized that I just had too many. Then {LIGHT BULB} it hit me! Windows is smarter than I remember. And I'm going to show you how I made these:
First I went through all my quotes pinned and saved the photo files of my favorites. Check what type of quality they are, some of them I saved straight from Pinterest and others I clicked through to the website and saved from there. I saved them all in one separate folder to make this process faster.
Then you select all, right click on any photo, the third selection down is print:
Windows will pop up a photo print wizard. Select the printer you will be using (I tested as a pdf to see how the photos would look). Then scroll on the right hand side the size you want. I selected 3.5x5 to give me four per page. You can play around with all different sizes.
Notice how the preview shows the one in the lower left slightly cropped? That can be fixed by unchecking the box next to "fit picture to frame."
That looks much better, doesn't it? Then all you have to do is load up paper in your printer and print away. I used Cardstock for this but you could use anything you wanted.
Here is an example of how one page turned out for me. Then I got out my paper trimmer and set to work.
You could use this for your own journaling digital elements, photos in smaller formats for mini-albums, or for quotes in wallet size to keep with you at all times!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the artwork shown, for links to who does please see my Pinterest board. I am making no money from this tutorial or the finished album I am making.
Hope this helps you make some custom elements for your scrapbooks!
Much Love,
New layout, new name, and new background. I really want someone to come in and spiffy the place up!
I'm full of ideas and I am working on ways to get them into reality.
I'm looking into resetting some tags.
And maybe a new laptop!
I have been so swamped. I owe my poor blog a big post on mom & my birthdays… and then another on Jexica's wedding… and another on mom's finally finalized divorce! Next up? The fourth of July, mine & Scott's anniversary, then some 'restful' weeks… right… Life is never that nice!
I have been brainstorming a lot lately. I have some ideas I will share once I get them together, I can't post before because I know the ones that it's for will read this and I don't want to ruin the surprise. But expect inspiration and tutorials on upcycling misc items. Think outside the box… heehee (you'll get it later)
Then it'll be baby prep time for Mrs. Lissa!!! Baby Teagan is going to be so spoilt!
I actually love being busy. I hate being bored, wasting time, and just generally doing nothing when I could be doing something. Don't get me wrong there are times when I want to do nothing and just veg on the sofa, those times come when I'm really busy.
I have been super busy as of late. I need a vacation! But in just 9 days Jessica is going to be married! And I'll have a lot more free time...
Maybe I can use that time to figure out what is wrong with my sewing machine!

I found this great tutorial on Pinterest on an easier way to remove nail polish. Since I've been wearing a lot more of it lately I have had a hard time getting the nail polish off and still protecting my nails. This tutorial from gingerbreadmanne was so helpful. I did have to use a qtip for the edges but it was still better than what I was doing before, and my nails looked much better. I didn't know going back and forth across the nail can make your nails peel.
Some tips from what I learned:
- Don't put it in the cap like she does, mine had little pieces from the seal band and it caught the cotton dumping it over a couple times. {Side note: acetone will remove the painted finish from iron sinks…. oops}. I think I'm going to get out a glass shot glass and dedicate it for nail polish remover. REMEMBER: acetone will eat through most plastics!
-I am going to actually cut the cotton next time for a cleaner edge to sop up the remover easier.
-Don't let it soak up too much remover, or when you go to squeeze the cotton off your nail you get acetone running all down your arm and all over the place. I think the cutting mentioned above will help eliminate this.
-She let hers sit on the nail for 1-2 minutes, I really only needed a good 45 seconds MAX after getting them all on the nail for it to take mine off. And I use a base coat, color, decoration, and then a top coat.
--This is the first post in a while without any photos! Crazy!
I have accumulated several books that I have had for a long time that I have yet to read, and they just keep piling up. So I've decided to do a summer reading list! I found these great printables {even tho I have far too many to fit on there} and they were my inspiration.
Source: Nicolesclasses.com
And this is my list so far, I know I have another box of books somewhere!
And I also picked up books 5,6,8, & 10 in the Janet Evanovich series. And the Vampire Armand by Anne Rice {free after picking up the others @ Savers, buy 4 get 1 free}.
I'm thinking that Sundays should be for reading? Maybe…
If you want to fan a great up and coming book club page then check THIS ONE out, it's my friend Kristin and she always gives me great advice for books! What are you reading this summer?
P.S. I'll update soon on the awesome fun times of Jexica's Lingerie shower and Bachelorette Party. Including a post on just the food I made!
I'm posting inspiration I've found amongst the internet!
In order:
The shoes I want to wear when I get married! Love them!
Record side table diy via design sponge.
Hair idea for Jexica's wedding.
Another hair idea.
A great website to make you laugh : Disney gents from last night (also Disney ladies from last night)
Another hair idea (out of order but my phone won't let me change it)
Awesome tattoo placement, where I want some stars!
Ultimate gaming console! Epic.
Awesome idea for diy bookends! I'm doing this tonight.
A sweater from some random expensive website that I want to diy. Savers here I come!
((sorry this post is kind of a mess, I've been crazy busy with planning J's wedding! Three weeks! ))

Idea: Fixing the US primary election system with rotating county primaries
John Tillinghast recently wrote me with a clever idea to fix the US primary election system. Since it's very much in the spirit of this blog, I'll present it for your comments. The text is a mix of what he sent me and some broader framing of the problem.
The problem: US presidential primary elections (and caucuses – let's ignore the difference for now) are held first in Iowa and New Hampshire every year. The ostensible reason for this is to choose two small states that will give the politicians a chance to meet many voters face-to-face and not just saturate major media markets with ads. While the record of these states at choosing the eventual nominees of the parties is mixed, it is certainly true that many candidates drop out at this stage of the race. The problem is that these two small, highly non-representative states thus have quite disproportionate power over a national process. So the challenge is to find a way to preserve the need for politicians to succeed at convincing voters face-to-face to choose them, while removing the disproportionate role of these two states.

Average amounts of quakes in the 6.0-6.9 magnitude range annually number 134 on average, according to the USGS statistics. I posted about the major quake at Vanuatu on Aug 20 and I'd updated the data through that date at that time. Through August 20 the USGS annual average for quakes in that magnitude range was already exceeded, the number of quakes in that range numbered 140:
Here is the updated chart through today, Sept 5, 2011.
Since Aug 20 there had been 11 quakes in the 7.0-7.9 range. The annual average is 14. In the last two weeks we have had three more, so we now equal the annual average. There is still a quarter of the year to go. With so many earthquakes over the last two weeks, is there any doubt that with a quarter of the year left to go that all averages will not only be be exceeded (which hey already are) but will be crushed? There is no doubt in my mind.

Not only has there been an increase in big quakes there is a real and definite progression of new activity in the US, Midwest and East Coast. 4.6 on the North Atlantic Ridge and a 4.5 today near Durango, Mexico and a 5.9 near Panama. I have been watching the usgs site for about 4 years and this is activity that I have never seen before in the way of frequency / time density. Yet another 2.5 in Mineral, VA. today. Those that have their future built on the solid rock of Jesus cannot be shaken.ReplyDelete

Amen Jeff!ReplyDelete
It's so weird that California seems relatively quiet. I've been hearing that the main faults in the ring of fire have experienced massive earthquakes (Japan, Chile, New Zealand) and that Cali might be next. It really seems like the whole earth is going to explode at any second. I don't want to fathom how horrifying the earthquakes will be during the great tribulation. It's wonderful to see prophecy come to pass today but at the same time it's extremely sobering.
- AnonymousSeptember 6, 2011 at 2:13 AM
I agree, Jeff. I've been watching the earthquake page for 5 ot 6 years, too. Seems the 6 pointers come in groups of 3 or 4 over a few days, in different parts of the world (i.e. not all in the same area). I first started noticing quakes in the middle of the US a couple years ago and took note of it. OK, AR and so forth - there are always quakes in NM, CO, UT, WY, MT and farther west. After all, those states are where the Rocky Mountains begin, jutting out of the rolling prairies dramatically as they so beautifully do, and of course, Yellowstone is there, too.ReplyDelete
There are a lot of smaller quakes going on along the West Coast, too. At the time of my posting this, there are 18 earthquakes on this map. An unusual little swarm going on between Richland, WA and the Columbia River which seperates WA and OR.
There were also 14 quakes along the western 'edge' of WA, including one in the Strait of Jaun de Fuca. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Maps/US10/42.52.-130.-120.php
Most people watch CA because so many people live there and the area is known for it's quakes. I watch farther north. I've spent time in the Pacific Northwest and I have to admit - those volcanoes thrill me and scare me. Rainier, St. Helens, Baker, and more, but especially Rainier. Everytime I ferry across Puget Sound from Seattle west, I look at that volcano (if it's visible, usually is) and wonder - 'when are you going off again?? how many people are going to die? what will it be like?' My husband and I were exploring along the SE section of Mount Baker the day the earthquake in Haiti happened. I had uneasy feelings about the volcano, out of site in the clouds or behind other mountains, all day. Told my husband once that I thought I'd felt a tremor. I think I actually felt one of the P or S waves from Haiti that shook the whole earth - just an ever so slight rolling motion. I honestly thought it was just nerves due to Baker - until we got back to our room for the night and saw the news!
Cascadia will go "naturally" one of these days, earthquake/volcanoes. The question for me is, will they go "naturally" like St. Helens did, or will they be a closer part of Christ's return?

This is a very interesting plot, comparing solar activity to earthquake activity. It also shows whether earthquakes are really increasing or not. From "Lurking" on Erik Klemmiti's volcano blog, 'Eruptions', September 9, 2011:ReplyDelete
The whole post and 2 more links (to read the background conversation, go to http://bigthink.com/ideas/40129#comments ):

"…I can counter with a multiple of earthquakes that had no relationship to anything the sun was doing. That is where the correlation breaks down…"
I can plot that.
Scatter plot – Solar Flux vs World Wide M4.5+ (USGS)
Or…. how about Solar Flare strength vs the same batch
(just the two sets on the same time-line)
Note, the spike in the quake numbers happened during the Japanese tsunami event. It's not an error, there were that many quakes.

It's not about the bread: Taking the same name as the London version located on Bread Street, this Hong Kong version by Dining Concepts is a near carbon copy. From the black and white floor tiles, long leather booths, dark moody lighting and orange-hued pillars that give the digs an urban street-lit appeal. Down the outdoor staircase of the Hotel LKF, the large windows overlook the mayhem of Lan Kwai Fong, artfully rising above the tomfoolery, but still enjoying the dramatic appeal of it all. An elongated open kitchen is matched by a bar at the front end with the uncommon treat of an attractive (and female-dominated) cookery staff.
The vast menu will make choosing tricky: Gordon Ramsey's Bread Street London signatures appear here with a light and citrusy sea bass carpaccio ($128), a creamy king crab cocktail ($138) and the ooey, gooey delights that are the Tamarind spiced chicken wings ($128). The short rib burger $(158) was tasty and well constructed and the steamed snapper ($208) a delicate dish both in flavour and volume. The Brits will be in heaven with a list of their nation's favourite dishes on the menu: shepherd's pie ($188) that uses shredded lamb, giving each bite a strong flavourful, lamby bite with a pillowy blanket of potatoes topped with a thick crust of melted cheese; fish, peas and triple-cooked chips ($198); sausage and veg ($178), and slow roasted Dingley Dell pork belly ($198) with a crispy exterior, soft, fatty interior and cubes of apple that add a crunchy zing. An oh-my-gosh-this-is-good banana sticky toffee pudding ($88) and a sweet and simple Eton mess ($78) round out the Brit list. The prices are decent for a central restaurant as long as you're not going after the bigger ticket items like the lobster macroni cheese ($488) or the English rose veal chop ($498). A beautifully tender cote de boeuf is the priciest menu item ($888).
Liquid refreshment: Another bulky menu with a huge wine list as well as a good selection of creative cocktails to choose from that are also descriptively fun to read. Here's an excerpt: "Love Potion No.9 – white port, lemon, raspberries, mint, champagne. If Marilyn Monroe only wore Chanel No.5 to bed, this would have been her nightcap!"
Word on the bread street: We went in with deliberately low expectations to counter the sheer size of the celebrity that is Gordon Ramsey, and we were pleased by everything. Good food, tolerable prices, lovely staff and a vibrant atmosphere – we liked it

( they want a friend who is the same culture as us, somewhere in Russia)... My family isnt so religious I can tell you that. They still pray but they care about this world too much and they dont realize the importance of obeying Allah as much. They never pushed Islam into us as children which is why some siblings of mine dont pray. Alhamdulilah, Allah has given me the heart to become devout! I UNDERSTAND marriage. The point of marriage is to become more religious, bring religion to your children's lives, and to obey and please Allah. I want the most halal marriage and I know some very religious lady who has a son who treats her so well. They are Arabs. My dad hates arabs. He is very devout and they are STRICT about how to handle marriage which means they are very obedient to Allah and if I marry him I will have lots of barakah in my marriage. I do not care for looks. I want a kind and religious man and I found one. I have known this lady for long and they have the same goals as me. To finish memorizing the Quran and to move to Mecca. My moms connections arent like that!!!!!!! They sin too much, mix genders, listen to music, some dont even pray! I strictly keep away from sinning and this family is more religious than me so we have same standards. Its always been hard to keep away from things like music and more sins because its always been in my house with my family. I have been so excited to finally find a religious family like this and LET ME TELL YOU how hard it is to find these people. I dont have to worry about sinning as much as I do if I marry them. Now let me tell you about my parents. With my brother, the way they wanted him to get married was not halal. They let girl send pictures of her (body seducing pics bc she doesnt wear hijab) and they let them talk alot. This is not what we do in Islam. We ask the parents questions about their child we want to marry and we have family meetings, thats how it should be. But no, not with my family. My dad has anger problems which makes it harder on me. He said he would rather have my brother eat crap from a spouse they choose than for him to be happy with an Arab. He said hed rather have me marry someone who doesnt pray (of his connections and friends) than have me marry a religious arab. Ohh how am I supposed to do this. I want to become an amazing muslim and raise a good family. My parents never think like that about religion. My dad said to my brother wallahi if my brother marries an arab, he will cut ties. This is a sin. What do I do!?!?! Help mee! I need to marry someone religious. My dad cannot do this to me! And my mom is startting not to like this family because they are "too religious" and they will make me feel depressed! I have always craved for a religious figure in my life (apart from the prophets peace be upon them. I mean right now in my family). I found someone to look up to. I have no problems with his mom. She is so religious when she first heard about me when i was a teen, she wanted to teach me the Quran and I have known her for long. Families like them are too rare and precious to let go. My dad has serious anger issues and he will ABSOLUTELY not let me get married to her son. This is what happens when you have a family that becomes unreligious!!! I need help because they will never understand the point in marriage. They think its to please others with the status! Thank you

Conceptual interface
Conceptually, an instance of Taverna Server exists to manage a collection of workflow runs, as well as some global information that is provided to all on the server's general capabilities. The server also supports an overall Atom feed per user that allows you to find out when your workflows terminate without having to poll each one separately. This feed is at
https://«SERVER:PORT»/taverna-server/feed (with the default web-application name). The feed is not available to anonymous users, and will only accept updates from the internal notification mechanism.
Each workflow run is associated with a working directory that is specific to that run; the name of the working directory is a value that is not repeated for any other run. Within the working directory, these[1|#_ftn1] subdirectories will be created:
Contains optional additional configuration files for the Taverna execution engine; empty by default.
Contains optional additional configuration files for the external tool plugin; empty by default.
Contains additional libraries that will be made available to beanshell scripts; empty by default.
Location that logs will be written to. In particular, will eventually contain the file detail.log, which can be very useful when debugging a workflow.
Location that output files will be written to if they are not collected into a Baclava file. This directory is only created during the workflow run; it should not be made beforehand.
Contains the additional plug-in code that is to be supported for the specific workflow run.
Contains the database working files used by the Taverna execution engine.
All file access operations are performed on files and directories beneath the working directory. The server prevents all access to directories outside of that, so as to promote proper separation of the workflow runs. (Note in particular that the credential manager configuration directory will not be accessible; it is managed directly by the server.)
Associated with each workflow run is a state. The state transition diagram is this:
The blue states are the initial and final states, and all states in italic cannot be observed in practice. The black arrows represent automatic state changes, the blue arrows are for manually-triggered transition, and the red arrows are destructions, which can be done from any state (other than the initial unobservable one) and which may be either manually or automatically triggered; automatic destruction happens when the run reaches its expiry time (which you can set but cannot remove). Note that there are two transitions from Operating to Finished; they are not equivalent. The automatic transition represents the termination of the workflow execution with such outputs produced as are going to be generated, whereas the manual transition is where the execution is killed and outputs may be not generated even if they conceptually existed at that point. Also note that it is only the transition from Initialized to Operating that represents the start of the workflow execution engine.
Each workflow run is associated with a unique identifier, which is constant for the life of the run. This identifier is used directly by the SOAP interface and forms part of the URI for a run in the REST interface, but it is the same between the two. Any run may be accessed and manipulated via either interface, so long as the right identifier is used and you have permission to do the action concerned. The permissions associated with a run are the ability to read features of the run and files associated with it, the ability to update features (including creating files), and the ability to control the lifespan of a run and destroy it, each of which implies the ones before it as well. The owner of a run (i.e., the user who created it) always has all those permissions, and can also manipulate the security configuration of the run — these permissions and any credentials granted to the run such as passwords and X.509 key-pairs — which are otherwise totally shrouded in the execution interface. The permissions of a user to access a particular run can also be set to none, which removes all granted permissions and restores the default (no access granted at all).
Associated with each run are a number of listeners. This release of the server only supports a single listener, "io", which is applied automatically. This listener is responsible for detecting a number of technical features of the workflow run and exposing them. In particular, it reports any output produced by the workflow engine on either stdout or stderr, what the result ("exitcode") would be, where to send termination notifications to ("notificationAddress") and what resources were used during the workflow run ("usageRecord").
The (RESTful) Usage Pattern
The Taverna 2 Server supports both REST and SOAP APIs; you may use either API to access the service and any of the workflow runs hosted by the service. The full service descriptions are available at
http://«SERVER:PORT»/taverna-server/services but to illustrate their use, here's a sample execution using the REST API.
- The client starts by creating a workflow run. This is done by POSTing a T2flow document to the service at the address
http://«SERVER:PORT»/taverna-server/rest/runs; may be either wrapped with XML or an unwrapped T2flow document (provided the right HTTP content-type is used).
When using the wrapped form, the wrapping of the submitted document is a single XML element, workflow in the namespace
ns.taverna.org.uk/2010/xml/server/, and the workflow (as saved by the Taverna Workbench) is the child element of that.
The result of the POST is an HTTP 201 Created that gives the location of the created run (in a Location header), hereby denoted the
«RUN_URI»(it includes a UUID which you will need to save in order to access the run again, though the list of known UUIDs can be found above). Note that the run is not yet actually doing anything.
- Next, you need to set up the inputs to the workflow ports. This is done by either uploading a file that is to be read from, or by directly setting the value.
- Directly Setting the Value of an Input
To set the input port,
FOO, to have the value
BAR, you would PUT a message like this to the URI
- Uploading a File for One Input
The values for an input port can also be set by means of creating a file on the server. Thus, if you were staging the value
BARto input port
FOOby means of a file
BOO.TXTthen you would first POST this message to
Note that "
QkFS" is the base64-encoded form of "
BAR", and that each workflow run has its own working directory into which uploaded files are placed; you are never told the name of this working directory.
You can also PUT the contents of the file (as application/octet-stream) directly to the virtual resource name that you want to create the file as; for the contents "
BAR" that would be three bytes 66, 65, 82 (with appropriate HTTP headers). This particular method supports upload of very large files if necessary.
Once you've created the file, you can then set it to be the input for the port by PUTting this message to
Note the similarity of the final part of this process to the previous method for setting an input.
You can also create a directory, e.g.,
IN, to hold the input files. This is done by POSTing a different message to
With that, you can then create files in the
INsubdirectory by sending the upload message to
«RUN_URI»/wd/INand you can use the file as an input by using a name such as
IN/BOO.TXT. You can also create sub-subdirectories if required by sending the
mkdirmessage to the natural URI of the parent directory, just as sending an upload message to that URI creates a file in that directory.
- Using a File Already on the Taverna Server Installation
You can use an existing file attached to a workflow run on the same server, provided you have permission to access that run. You do this by using a PUT to set the input to a reference (the actual URL below is just an example, but it must be the full URL to the file):
The data will be copied across efficiently into a run-local file. This version of Taverna Server does not support accessing files stored on any other server or on the general web via this mechanism.
- Uploading a Baclava File
The final way of setting up the inputs to a workflow is to upload (using the same method as above) a Baclava file (e.g.,
FOOBAR.BACLAVA) that describes the inputs. This is then set as the provider for all inputs by PUTting the name of the Baclava file (as plain text) to
- Directly Setting the Value of an Input
- If your workflow depends on external libraries (e.g., for a beanshell or API consumer service), these should be uploaded to
«RUN_URI»/wd/lib; the name of the file that you create there should match that which you would use in a local run of the service.
- If the workflow refers to a secured external service, it is necessary to supply some additional credentials. For a SOAP web-service, these credentials are associated in Taverna with the WSDL description of the web service. The credentials must be supplied before the workflow run starts.
To set a username and password for a service, you would POST to
«RUN_URI»/security/credentialsa message like this (assuming that the WSDL address is "
//host/serv.wsdl", that the username to use is "
fred123", and that the password is "
For REST services, the simplest way to find the correct security URI to use with the service is to run a short workflow against the service in the Taverna Workbench and to then look up the URI in the credential manager.
- Now you can start the workflow running. This is done by using a PUT to set
«RUN_URI»/statusto the plain text value
- Now you need to poll, waiting for the workflow to finish. To discover the state of a run, you can (at any time) do a GET on
«RUN_URI»/status; when the workflow has finished executing, this will return
Finishedinstead of
Initialized, the starting state).
There is a fourth state,
Stopped, but it is not supported in this release.
- Every workflow run has an expiry time, after which it will be destroyed and all resources (i.e., local files) associated with it cleaned up. By default in this release, this is 1 day after initial creation. To see when a particular run is scheduled to be disposed of, do a GET on
«RUN_URI»/expiry; you may set the time when the run is disposed of by PUTting a new time to that same URI. Note that this includes not just the time when the workflow is executing, but also when the input files are being created beforehand and when the results are being downloaded afterwards; you are advised to make your clients regularly advance the expiry time while the run is in use.
- The outputs from the workflow are files created in the out subdirectory of the run's working directory. The contents of the subdirectory can be read by doing a GET on
«RUN_URI»/wd/outwhich will return an XML document describing the contents of the directory, with links to each of the files within it. Doing a GET on those links will retrieve the actual created files (as uninterpreted binary data).
Thus, if a single output
FOO.OUTwas produced from the workflow, it would be written to the file that can be retrieved from
«RUN_URI»/wd/out/FOO.OUTand the result of the GET on
«RUN_URI»/wd/outwould look something like this:
- The standard output and standard error from the T2 Command Line Executor subprocess can be read via properties of the special I/O listener. To do that, do a GET on
.../stderr). Once the subprocess has finished executing, the I/O listener will provide a third property containing the exit code of the subprocess, called
Note that the supported set of listeners and properties will be subject to change in future versions of the server, and should not be relied upon.
- Once you have finished, destroy the run by doing a DELETE on
«RUN_URI». Once you have done that, none of the resources associated with the run (including both input and output files) will exist any more. If the run is still executing, this will also cause it to be stopped.
All operations described above have equivalents in the SOAP service interface.
[1|#ftnref1] Each run also has _repository and var directories created for it; their purpose is not documented and they are initially empty.

Award Winning Cine Lenses
Leica has a lot more going on than just Leica cameras and lenses. A division of Leica not too many people know about is CW Sonderoptic. This part of Leica design and manufacture some of the finest Cine lenses in the world. The company even won an academy award for their lenses.
Chris and I got a tour of the CW Sonderoptic factory and saw the care and dedication of not only the engineering team but those that handle make the lenses. I then sat down with Rainer Hercher, General Director of Sales and Marketing -CW Sonderoptic, and learned more about this very interesting segment of Leica.
These lenses need to be seen and touched to be really appreciated. Each lens is so meticulously made that even the focus scale is custom made for each lens. Most f the lenses made by Sonderoptics are sold to rental houses.

Earlier this week, USA Networks, a cable network owned by NBCUniversal, announced that it was going to join upfront week with a presentation of its own. USA is not the first cable network to crash the historically broadcast monopoly. ESPN and Turner Networks added presentations of their own to the week over the past few years.
So, ironically, just as the voices of pundits predicting the demise of the upfronts grow louder, the upfronts defy gravity and become more important within the television advertising world, not less. I'm new to television advertising, but the more I learn about the industry, the more I understand and appreciate the power and value of the upfronts. It makes a lot of sense for USA to throw its hat in that ring, and I believe we will see even more cable networks be part of the ad sales fest over time. Here's why:
Scale is scarce and auctions maximize price. The fragmentation of media audiences makes TV audiences more valuable than ever to large national advertisers. Online is great, but it can't cume scaled audiences anything like TV can. The number of networks and shows with big audiences exceeds the number of large advertisers seeking to reach them. If you want to maximize value, invite all the buyers into a room at once and make them compete for it.
Audience fragmentation has eroded separation between broadcast and cable. Large cable networks like USA are beginning to look a lot like smaller broadcast networks. If you take the football audiences out of NBC, its audience numbers don't look that much different from its sister network USA, and the trend lines favor USA. Baby sis has grown up and now deserves her own seat at the party.
It worked for Turner. New NBCU cable network sales boss Linda Yaccarino was previously a top sales exec at Turner, and knows firsthand how well that company's participation in the upfronts last year equated into premium pricing for its shows, particularly the NCAA March Madness packages. She's seen this movie before and knows how to play on the big stage.
Highlights TV's advantages relative to online. As much as online advertising is growing and can do powerful things, it can't deliver anything close to the impact and audience scale of TV. The more that TV media owners are able to highlight their offerings and demonstrate their scale and ability to deliver both TV audiences and companion Web and social audiences, the more they will resist the attempts of Web companies to take dollars away from them.
What do you think? Are the upfronts only going to get stronger?
I think it's a great move for USA Networks as a brand to join the larger Upfronts event, but from a media buyer's perspective the challenges to understand the audiences they're trying to reach just got harder because of this increased fragmentation. This means buyers need to learn more about their audiences before they can spend more efficiently. As a professional TV analyst at Networked Insights, the best data that I see available today to better understand these audiences is social data. This is because social data is faster, less biased, and right then on demand when I need to make a recommendation to a client.
So I think going forward we're going to be seeing a lot more cable networks officially joining the Upfronts, and more reliance upon social data in the negotiations process.

Shopping Guide: Mulackstraße
When someone asks me where to go shopping in Berlin with only very little time, I usually send them to the most fashionable street of all Berlin: Mulackstraße. This side-street of Alte Schönhauser Straße in the middle of Mitte is home to many young and independent boutiques, selling everything from rather cray-cray street-wear, to French summer-dresses and highly conceptual avantgarde-clothing.
Although the street itself is not a particularly pretty one, the shops on Mulackstraße always feature a unique interior and individual selection, which makes it the best spot to get an impression of Berlin's fashion scene. For an easier access and to convince you that this indeed is the most fashionable street, I compiled this guide featuring many gems that already received reviews on this blog, but also included new additions. Please consider that there are more shops on Mulackstraße than the ones named here, just happens these are the ones I think are worth recommending:
Das Neue Schwarz
This very fine second-hand-boutique is an all-time favorite of mine. Check this review to find out more.
Mulackstrasse 38
10119 Berlin Mitte
Mon–Sat 12:00–20:00
This label designs, produces and sells what I called "cray-cray street-wear" in the above text, read this review to see what I mean by that.
Mulackstraße 4
10119 Berlin Mitte
Mon–Sat 12:00–19:00
Eating on a fashionable street needs to be fashionable in itself and then of course it must be Japanese. Mamecha is also one of my personal favorites for lunch in Mitte, read my review here.
Mulackstraße 33
10119 Berlin Mitte
Mon–Sat 12:00–19:00
Lala Berlin
The brand of Leyla Piedayesh has been on the forefront of successful young Berlin designers for some time now, the label's first boutique is – of course – located on Mulackstraße.
Alte Schönhauser Straße 3
10119 Berlin Mitte
Mon–Sat 11:00–19:00
Weisser Laden
This store was one of the first on Mulackstraße and is one of those who like to stay under the radar as long as possible – no website, no sign, no pr. Although it belongs to the owners who're also managing the Berlin APC branch just next door, this store is all different – it offers the highly conceptual brands Bless and Cosmic Wonder in a (of course) white interior.
Mulackstrasse 34
10119 Berlin Mitte
Mon–Sat 12:00–20:00,
Tue by appointment
Nicole Hogerzeil's first store has co-founded the fame of Mulackstraße and is a favorite of Berlin based stylists and fashion people – get more information in this review.
Torstraße 173
10115 Berlin Mitte
Butterfly Soulfire
Butterfly Soulfire is a Berlin based label that doesn't limit its boutique to their own collection but also offers brands like the Danish Visbol de Arce and Swedish Bjorg.
Mulackstraße 11
10119 Berlin Mitte
Mon–Sat 12:00–19:00
Known and loved as the host of the first stilinberlin store, Baerck offers Berlin based labels like Reality Studio, Vladimir Karaleev and Malaika Raiss, as well as Scandinavian brands like Carin Wester and Minimarket (the latter just created a limited edition shoe only for Baerck). I personally like Baerck for gifts as well, as they sell a variety of not-very-expensive jewelry and some quite interesting interior objects.
Mulackstraße 12
10119 Berlin Mitte
Mon–Fri 12:00–20:00,
Sat 11:00–20:00
Mulackstraße is not about fashionable clothing only, it's also the home of R.S.V.P., Berlin's most lovely stationery shop. Read more about it in this review.
Mulackstraße 14

Worlds End
A relatively new addition to Mulackstraße opened last July and belongs to Vivienne Westwood's Worlds End concept stores, where she sells pieces of current and past seasons of her own labels (Anglomania, Worlds End and Vivienne Westwood) as well as jewelry, bags and baby rompers.

Although the selection offered in this store has been better (in my opinion), it's still a very fine adress if you're looking for special and unique accessories.

C'est Tout
Berlin based label C'est Tout is one of those labels I always consider having to grow into, meaning I see myself wearing them about 10 years from now, when I am actually an adult person. This of course is total bullshit and just a very limited personal point-of-view – C'est Tout actually offers classic pieces in high-quality material made for every age.

Admittedly, I can only say that this shop looks promising since it just recently opened. It's the real-life outlet of the online store that was founded in Sweden and is now operated from Germany. Their souterrain boutique offers a lot of V Ave Shoe Repair and Diana Orving with most of the clothing being black and/or white.

… and where is Claudia Skoda' in all this?
You just have to admire people who have difficulty reading a text yet still replying to articles:)
I find your guides so useful. And I was going to try Mamecha after having its very cute mini-truck drive past me the other day.
Thank you :) You'd like Mamecha, I'm pretty sure!
thankful as always.
Danke sehr! Thanks a lot, I'll be staying in Mulackstrasse in December because I'll spend new year's day in Berlin. Thanks for the tips.
I go down Mulack Str all the time and have only ever noticed Mamecha and RSVP from this list. I guess that's how I know I'm not really a clothes person… But thanks for the tip for when I have visitors in town!

It is beautiful how it happens when you think you expect something and find that you only expected to be. To be in that moment, when you feel happy or end up in a smile that is audible, escaping a place that you really don't understand is there because when it happens it's always a surprise. Even when I stimulate it, intentionally; that place with stories that sell reality with a sense of play, memories that take you back to happy days that have of comic sighs and those smiles that become audible unexpected moments of beautiful. I mark the days that tears meet those audible smiles because those are days that acceptance of the most unexplainable seems to happen. When my expectation is exceeded beyond what was somehow inbred inside of me due to previous action or choice or interaction. To live each day available to the ability to have unexpected connection to that place within myself in which a smile arrives and that sound escapes me. The reflection that images share, that mirrors, that me can put a smile on, that is expected and intended, yet that me where sincerity is born with moments of unexpected who sometimes can't find the smile when I need it the most. Each moment, each heartbeat, each extension that connects you to the life you live is appreciation if you share it with yourself first and then whoever shares your place, the place that can give birth to your audible smile.
Believe in the unexpected, in the unexplainable, unique beautiful that is not sold by opinion of others, by past versions of some other humans version of it. We spend days seeking truths and happiness, and some other person to connect to, and we forget that all that we seek can be found in that place that is pregnant trimester into day into moments still coming with availability for those unexpected moment of smiles that become audible, taking the body sometimes into full body spasms and then a deep breath that escapes open lips as we give the body oxygen for the souls invasion.

What firmware does this need?
It doesn't matter. If you're on the original N7 firmware or the latest builds from Google, it still works just fine. I'm now on JOP40C and it works just fine. One update.zip fits all. I do suggest keeping your original file as a backup though as it plays up with OTA updates if you have this mod installed.
You don't need to install this if you are running a CM based firmware (CM10, etc) as I have pushed the patch to the CM repositories and it will be preloaded on your Nexus 7. And no, it's not them stealing credit, I pushed the patch to them.

Puerto Rico is a self-governing territory of the United States located in the Caribbean Sea. In order to bolster its economy, the government of Puerto Rico has created an aggressive economic and tax incentives program with the purpose of establishing Puerto Rico as an international service center by helping operations on the island become more profitable to those companies who establish themselves in Puerto Rico. Likewise, Puerto Rico is trying to stimulate its economic development by offering 100% tax exemptions on all interest, all dividends, and all long-term capital gains to investors that become bona-fide residents of Puerto Rico. These benefits are possible because income generated within Puerto Rico is generally not subject to U.S. federal taxation.

Today I hung up my apron* for the greater good and served as sous chef for Danni, a friend who stopped by to bake a birthday cake.
Two hours and six games of 2048 later, here's what she made:
The cake turned out delicious (believe me, we baked a sample), and what's really impressive is that 98% of the toffee bars actually made it onto the cake (the same cannot be said for the cream cheese frosting). You can find the Chocolate Toffee-Crunch (Cup)cakes recipe here.
Happy eating!
* I don't actually own an apron, but if I did, it would have Batman on it.

Following much personal change and a good deal of procrastination and total distraction with mad knitting, I've decided its time to start posting to the Plant Geek Chronicles again (and, uh, paying more attention to the plants...yep, had some survival of the fittest experimentation).
I'm starting easy, by showing you some goodies in bloom. First, we've got a lovely variegated Neofinetia falcata, tagged as 'Higashidemiyako'.
I'm very pleased with it. It might not be an extremely rare form, but I still think its awesome. Neofinetia falcata is a Japanese species, and all the most interesting plants are still Japanese in origin or recent ancestry. These plants are also easier to grow. I've had trouble with the ones that have been bred in the US for several generations. Likely those are all horribly inbred. But so far I have four that I believe to be of Japanese origin, and not only are they of more interesting varieties, they're so adaptable and easy to grow!
They're also sweetly fragrant, somewhat reminiscent of honeysuckle. As the flower form includes a long spur and the plant displays increased fragrance at dusk and dark, I suspct the plant is probably moth pollinated in its natural habitat. I don't know this for sure, if you have any data on this please chime in.
The other goodie I have to share is a Brassavola acaulis, which I am sure is moth pollinated.
This plant is also cool, and surprisingly sturdy. The 'leaves' are long, pendant...well...green sticks in appearance. Almost based on the appearance and the placement in genus Brassavola you'd assume *Super High Light!* But nay. On the advice of the ever knowledgeable Al, I've kept it with the large mounted phalaenopsis plants, so low-medium light (by orchid standards, mind you ::shakes finger::), and decent watering. Though, to be fair, through the winter I tend to not water enough. The phals were a little crabby about that but they're still alive. Some sources suggest 3-4 hrs light for this species, but mine lives in an East window just fine. It is possible it will adapt to either situation. In any case, it bloomed.
Here again, like most moth pollinated species, it isn't very impressive in the day. As soon as it gets dark, though, you can smell it from across the room. It has a vaguely citrus-y rose-y scent. Very pleasant.

I will make another post on 1.9 closer to official release which now will be around the release of C4D r18 (as r18 is so close it makes sense to hold off a bit and include an r18 build). I will also give some more information on what i have been up to, why there has been a bit of delay between 1.8-1.9 and future direction and new features of PixelBerg. You will also notice the website get a fresh look and some new features in the next few weeks.
Pixelberg 1.9 pr 3 is available to download now for VIP members (Those who paid the RRP for any plugin)
- You will find it in "VIP Members Area/PixelBerg C4D/pre releases" folder in your vip download area.
Feel free to download it and give it a whirl and let me know what you think and if you find any bugs. (To report bugs you can use the new bug reporting form available from the pixelberg plugin menu).
Pre releases are something I intend to do more of so when each new feature is added I will upload a pre release for VIP members inbetween official releases.
PixelBerg 1.9 release notes:
#1.9 pr3 :
- Added Sharpen post FX.
- Standard render post FX now done on GPU (massive speed up).
- Sky calculations improved providing better quality.
- Removed Sky Creation Tab as the sky maps are now ceated in realtime from a LatLong input map.
- Fixed graphic issue with older GPUs (hopefully Iris gpu too).
- Standard render now replaces original alpha channel as this is used for data during post fx calculation.
- SuperSampling AA added to Hardware render and viewport.(use with care as renders at twice resolution and scales down)
- Filmic Tonemapping Added and now default.
- Fixed bug with mapping (Tile,seemless) so viewport matches standard render.
- Added basic material converter PB<>C4d (not perfect because C4D materials are very flexible but should get you about 90% there in most cases).
- Tweaked watermark so it can be set as a scale to the output imagesize.
- Various other minor fixes and tweaks.
- (*Removed R15 build due to upcomming R18 and plan to support last 3 C4D releases this may change if there is enough call for a R15 build).
