Art and Cats
I took Romeo to the vet today in Bowden. He got two x-rays to make sure he hadn't broken anything. We can definitively say he doesn't have arthritis. He doesn't have a bone spur or fracture. He appears to have tendonitis. I have that occasionally and it hurts like hell! Apparently there is little than can be done for pain relief in cats. The doc says to watch him for two weeks, and let the pain give him feedback about what he shouldn't be doing so that he'll rest his leg. If he's still in a lot of pain in two weeks, bring him back and we'll attempt to see if there is some kind of pain relief he can take for a while without killing his kidneys, AND he'll probably have to be contained in a small space for a while to ensure he rests his leg. I hope we don't have to do that!
Romeo is very sensitive to my moods. When chemo had me down for the count, he'd always snuggle up to me. When all my hair fell out, I'd wake up sometimes at night, and he'd be licking my head. I wonder if I tasted different because of the chemo, or he was "comforting" me? In any case, I've always felt close to this cat, but he is very special now for being my company in some very trying circumstances. He gets the best care I can give him.
Hope you are having a great day.

Once again, you continue to be awe inspiring in all that you do. I think the picture is brilliant. You have sooooo many untapped talents. Poor Romeo! I hope and pray that his pain eases. Continuing to send you energy, peace and love, Randy

If you are one to look for the silver lining, you could find a lot of good things that have come out of your cancer experience, being off work to spend more time with family, learning new things like art, discovering how many people you have in your support group. But that's just one perspective, and possibly easy for me to say, not being in your shoes.
Love the drawing, keep up the good work!
I'm sure Liam could tell you what Romeo was doing - he was licking one of your "boo boos!" :) Hoping for a speedy recovery for the little guy.

|1/7600th Scale T.O.S. U.S.S. Enterprise Resin Kit - Price - $7.95 plus $3.00 shipping and handling
|This is the 1/7600th scale resin cast kit of The Original Series U.S.S. Enterprise. It is the companion model for AMT's K-7 Space Station kit. Being totally unsatisfied with the appearance of the original, I chose to alter and scratch-build a new one much more dimensionally proportionate to the original filming model. I was so happy with the results, that I decided to make a resin kit available from the original master. This is Sirius Replicas very first offering of a resin cast "garage kit". The kit comes with 5 crisp resin cast parts, an optional brass bar for the pylons, instructions and a postage stamp sized decal sheet. Note: the finished resin kit shown in the photos was completed in a day, so I think it could have turned out a little better with a little more trimming, putty, additional sanding and paint. I was really amazed at the decal clarity, and the proportions are fairly accurate, except the interconnecting dorsal could be re-shaped. Overall, a lot of potential for such a tiny scale.

Hi there.
I got this problem, been trying to solve it for a while.
I cant seem to make the table widths for all ranks the same. It seems the tables are influenced by the lenght of the words/names inside each table.
I've been looking for a place to make all tables the same lenght, but I've not found it, silly me.
Can anyone help? The roster is located here:

Back in April, while you were procrastinating at work and trying to avoid spring showers, I was running around the city trying to find the Steve Madden showroom. And when I finally walked in the front door, my jaw dropped. There it was. The entire Peace Love Shea x Steve Madden collab, along with its creators. And the minute I laid eyes on the shoes, I knew it was love at first site. And for the first time in my life, I was actually excited for the fall.
At the preview, I caught up with Shea and Steve as they unveiled their collaboration. While my favorite shoe was the TSTUDIO ($179.95) suede wine-colored bootie, the blogger-designer duo had a different shoe in mind. When I asked Steve and Shea what their favorite shoe in the collection was, they looked at eachother and simultaneously said "the white studded slip-on sneaker" (TFAIRFAX, $149.95). Shea then explained that the entire collab was a mix between her laid-back Cali-girl style and Steve's NY influence, which I can totally see. For example, the studded slip-on sneakers and strappy sandals are better suited for fall in California, while a New Yorker would be more likely to wear a velvet bootie or knee-high boot.
But regardless of wear you live or what type of shoe you prefer, there seems to be something in the collection that fits everyone's style needs. There are booties, boots, flats, sneakers and heeled-sandals. Some are more casual, while other's are more dressy. And since these shoes are so gorgeous (just like Shea), they're bound to sell out quickly. So if you're in need of some new shoes for fall, don't forget to check out this collab. You'll be glad you did.

The Show Must Go On
The next day, on Friday, when they were supposed to put on a full show, a crash of two aircraft during an air race in the early part of the daily air show shut down the runway for a couple of hours.
They managed to get a few aircraft in the air that day because, as they say, the show must go on. Nevertheless, the Air Force stayed grounded and the airshow was cut short. Unfortunately, one of the pilots involved was killed in the crash, the other injured. We don't need such reminders that this is a risky business, but we get them anyway.
I had to pull up stakes and head to Chicago to have dinner with my sister, so I'll have to see the Raptor some other time. Other than a little heavy traffic heading south, that was pretty much the extent of my "misfortune." Despite that and the thunderstorms during a couple evenings, it was all in all a good show.

Oshkosh by Gosh
EAA is dedicated to supporting a broad array of pilots ... an experimental aircraft can be one that is built in a garage, or it can be that old World War II fighter. It can be a twenty-seater powered by a jet engine, or it can be an ultralight powered a chainsaw motor. It can be many things. The common thread among the 600,000 so people who visit the Airvention is their love of all things aviation.
I used to come just to watch one of the larger collections of old "Warbirds" still flying. There is nothing quite so impressive as the sound of a 1500+ hp Merlin on a P-51 as it speeds on by at 300+ knots. There used to be a couple dozen or so P51s at Oshkosh each year, along with an entire Air Force of other warbirds like the F-4U Corsair, the P-40, and even old bombers like the B-17, B-25, and the B-26.
In recent years, I've been tempted to build my own aircraft "in the garage." The only things stopping me are the fact that I don't have a garage, I didn't have the 2000 to 5000 hours most builders typically put into their projects, and the more annoying fact that the German regulators are not as accomodative of these things, especially by a foreign-rated pilot like yours truly.
The nice thing about Airvention is you get to see hundreds of home-builts of all shapes and sizes. You get to meet the guys (sorry girls, but I haven't met any women who have built their own who built their own, though I have hear rumors that they do exist) who built them. You get the opportunity to take in a few workshops on building techniques if you want to build your skills before you start bending expensive metal or bonding even more expensive carbon fibre.
And it is not surprising that very few homebuilders actually start from scratch. Even though I am trained as an aerospace engineer, the thought of designing and building from scratch is a romantic notion at best. I'm good, but I would prefer to start with a proven design. Not so much because my life is on the line ... I'm not an idiot, so there would be a lot of testing before my butt was in the air in anything I desinged and built, but more because designing your own adds several thousand hours to a project. So another nice thing about Airvention is you get to meet a number of kit-plane merchants who have designed and sold a wide array of homebuilt designs, and these have been flight tested by hundreds of brave souls (which they truly are, because if you have ever seen the shape they have left a breakfast bar in, you would tend to wonder ... or hope ... that their home workshops and the insides of the aircraft they have built were in better shape). Building your own is a good way to get an aircraft that meets your own flying needs. This is the place to explore what those might be.
I haven't attended every year, but many of them ... this would be number 20 for me out of 29 years. Despite that long history, I am still something of an amateur attendee.
When I lived in the US, I would fly myself to the show and pitch a tent next to my aircraft. If alone or with friends, this was a great way to do the show. They have showers and camp shops. They've even added things like camp movie theaters with feature films that have a flying theme.
Last year I brought the Partnerin, so we stayed in a hotel. This year I decided to pack a tent in a rental car and drive up. I learned that this is the least optimal way to visit, because there are thousands of people who come via surface vehicle (Car, RV, motorcycle, even bicycle) fighting over a few thousand camp spots. If you come too late in the week long show cycle, you get relegated to the camping spots next to the highway. Lesson learned.
A motorhome next to the highway is not so good, but doable ... a tent next to the highway is a waste of time. It never used to be so bad in the Airplace campground, but then I was more fanatic and came the day before the show kicked off ... the later arrivals in the aircraft campground also seem to get dumped next to the highway ... note to self, don't fly in too late in the week if you are planning to camp here).
So as I type this in a rather shabby hotel that cost me nearly $200 for the night, my poor tent sits waiting for me to come back and rescue it. I kept it there because my camping fee doubles for a somewhat more expensive parking fee (you pay a minimum of three nights camping fee, so there is no point to pulling up stakes until the third night is used).
One of the highlights of Wednesday was an demonstration by US Marine Harriers. The highlight of Thursday will be the arrival of two of the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighters. I published a few photos from last year, but will try to put better pics from this year, if I get some. You see, the weather is a factor in these shows. And it wouldn't be Oshkosh without an afternoon thunderstorm. More to follow.
What's Wrong with this Picture?
Life is a Bowl of Cherries?
Growing cherries on my balcony, for one thing. The first crop was staggering! 14 of them in all. Two more seasons like this and the tree will have paid for itself, though the poort tree is not so likely to make it through two more seasons on the balcony. It really needs to find its way into real earth so it can spread its roots. There might be a real-life analogy in that for me, but I generally prefer to live in denial, so I'm going to ignore it.
I've been keeping moving. I have to, because on of the other things I've been doing is eating. Creme Brulee ....
and massive amounts of cookies from this seducitve little baker in Strasbourg. France is the culinary equivalent of Amsterdam, and there's this little cookie shop where the ladies thrust a sample of their wares at you. It's hard to resist, and I don't.
And I've been flying. A lot. Here's Brussels National Airport from the air. This was one of the few holes in the clouds on my last trip to London. I've been to England a couple times, but it was solid IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions ... a technical way of saying you can't see much) On my last trip, I spent two hours actually flying through clouds and another hour and a half flying around some that were building into afternoon thunderstorms ... didn't want the rough ride.
I've been to London a couple times this summer, but I didn't really see much of it from the air until my instrument approaches to the airports (Biggin Hill and Cambridge). So no nice shots of the white cliffs, but I'll head that way a few more times in the months to come. They do get sunshine in England ... just doesn't seem to be happening much this year.
Speaking of flying, I'm actually writing this from the US, where I've gone for the annual Experimental Aircraft Association "Airvention" at Oshkosh. I'll write more on that later.
I will say that there are some things I really miss about America, but there are some things that I do not. In other words, I've ranted quite a bit about the things in Germany that bug me, but now its time to turn my keyboard on my home country.
One thing I do not miss are shabby hotel rooms. Both in terms of repair as well as cleanliness. I'm not talking about the high end places, where an unclean room is unthinkable at $300+ per night. But the average places at around $100 to $150 per night ... which is still a lot of money ... are simply appalling. And it is that way all across the country.
I stayed in a EUR 40 per night "dive" in Ostend a couple weeks ago, and the room was far cleaner than the rooms I've had here in the past couple of weeks. And the breakfast was much better.
Which is another funny thing about traveling in the US these days. A number of these mid-range hotel chains have started offering what they call breakfast. At Double Tree it is "made to order," which means you can get a somewhat decent omelette. At many of these places you can oast a bagel and have a styrofoam bowl of cereal (I'll let you decide which was more foam ... the bowl or the cereal) and some juice.
The problem I have with buffets is that the average human is somewhat sloppy. The difference between breakfast buffets in Europe and the US is that in Europe they actually have a couple of staff tending to the buffet somewhat regularly so that it doesn't look like a hostpital emergency room after a major train accident. In the US, in many of these places at least, it is the harried night manager who is rushing to keep the thing stocked while answering phones. As for cleaning it up, the solution seems to be to forget about it. And he or she is usually a recent immigrant.
I keep hearing that the US needs its vast (12 to 20 Million strong and growing) pool of cheap labor to do the jobs that Americans won't do. Well, news flash, the cheap labor pool doesnt' seem to be doing those jobs so well themselves, so wake up and smell the coffee.
And finally, my fellow Americans, when there is one syrup dispenser at the waffel iron, what makes you think you can take it to your table for your private and exclusive use. There might be an analogy or parable in this for the state of affairs in the world, but I'm out of here before I really get myself in trouble.

There is no right path. Only what's right for you
When I went to school, I knew what I wanted to study, but I really didn't know which career path I would take with a degree in maths. After a few years studying, I found an IT internship at AXA. I talked to the career advisor office, submitted my resume and had an interview, and discovered it was a great fit. Maths is all about problem-solving, number-crunching and analysing. With IT, you're given half a story here, a third of a story there and you have to pull the reports together and figure out what's going on. After my degree I joined the Technology Associate Program (1-year), and now I'm a Data Analyst in IT on the Graduate Program.
A good work-life balance makes you stronger
My success at work has really come from the drive to succeed at school, and from my hobby which is very challenging. Being the driver of a racing car, places me in a leadership role. I have a crew that relies on me for direction and delegation. You really have to learn how to manage your time and be organised so that you make sure that your cars are ready and safe to go.
I started racing when I was 16, so I was able to develop these skills at a young age and I've been able to take that with me throughout school and into the workforce and learn how to be a natural leader. I think management have seen that I bring what I've learnt into the office with me, and so they've entrusted me with the jobs they have so far.
Share the experience
I think the next big challenge in my career will be mentoring a new graduate, who joined the program recently. We've already worked side-by-side while she was an intern. Now that she's come back as a full-time graduate at AXA, we are working together and she looks to me for direction and to give her tasks to do. It's really rewarding, getting to grow our careers side-by-side.

Design and Measurement of Nonislet-Specific Autoantibodies for the Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium Autoantibody Workshop
The Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) comprised groups of investigators from many countries throughout the world, with a common goal of identifying genes predisposing to type 1 diabetes. The T1DGC ascertained and collected samples from families with two or more affected siblings with type 1 diabetes and generated a broad array of clinical, genetic, and immunologic data. The T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop was designed to distribute data for analyses to discover genes associated with autoantibodies in those with type 1 diabetes. In the T1DGC-affected sibling pair families, three T1DGC Network laboratories measured antibodies to the islet autoantigens GAD65 and the intracellular portion of protein tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2A). The availability of extensive genetic data provided an opportunity to investigate the associations between type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases for which autoantibodies could be measured. Measurements of additional nonislet autoantibodies, including thyroid peroxidase, tissue transglutaminase, 21-hydroxylase, and the potassium/hydrogen ion transporter H+/K+-ATPase, were performed by the T1DGC laboratory at the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, Aurora, CO. Measurements of all autoantibodies were transmitted to the T1DGC Coordinating Center, and the data were made available to members of the T1DGC Autoantibody Working Groups for analysis in conjunction with existing T1DGC genetic data. This article describes the design of the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop and the quality-control procedures to maintain and monitor the performance of each laboratory and provides the quality-control results for the nonislet autoantibody measurements.
The international Type 1 Diabetes Genetics Consortium (T1DGC) comprised groups of investigators from many countries throughout the world, with a common goal of identifying genes predisposing to type 1 diabetes. The T1DGC assembled a collection of ∼4,000 type 1 diabetes–affected sibling pair (ASP) families, as well as a large series of case-control collections for genetic studies. The T1DGC organized four recruitment networks (Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and U.K.) for collection of data and samples (1,2), and, within these networks, laboratories were chosen for processing biological samples (3). Three laboratories were selected to serve the T1DGC, initially to measure islet autoantigens from the baseline samples (4). These autoantigens were GAD65 and the intracellular portion of protein tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2A).
The T1DGC developed a masked split-pair duplicate sample program that allowed assessment of intra- and interassay reproducibility over time for each of the assays. These assessments included evaluation of different methods of computing results reported in World Health Organization (WHO) units per milliliter for sera yielding signals above the highest WHO standard. The results of the Diabetes Autoantibody Standardization Program (DASP) for the three laboratories have previously been described (4) for islet autoantibodies. The DASP workshops have provided insights for the improvement and standardization of autoantibody measurement associated with type 1 diabetes across numerous laboratories, and performance in DASP was used as a criterion for selecting the laboratories and for monitoring their performance.
Autoantibodies against GAD and IA-2A were measured in samples from participants with type 1 diabetes from T1DGC ASP families. Although the measurement was not used as an entry criterion for participation in the study, quantifying results in standardized WHO units per milliliter allowed more detailed phenotyping and increased the research value of T1DGC study samples.
With recognition of the clustering of multiple autoimmune diseases and overlap among genes contributing to multiple autoimmune diseases, additional organ-specific antibodies were measured in T1DGC samples. These additional assays were for antibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPO) for Hashimoto disease, to transglutaminase (TG) for celiac disease, to 21-hydroxylase (21-OH) for Addison disease, and to H+/K+-ATPase (ATPase) for pernicious anemia (5).
The T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop was designed to distribute data for analyses to discover genes associated with autoantibodies in participants with type 1 diabetes. Results of these analyses are reported in other articles in this supplement. This article describes the design of the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop and the quality-control (QC) procedures to maintain and monitor the performance of each laboratory with respect to nonislet autoantibodies.
Research Design and Methods
The design of the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop consisted of the T1DGC making data available to analytic teams to apply methods to detect genetic variants that contribute to the variation observed in autoantibody measurements. The primary data sources are 1) the clinical phenotypic data associated with the collected samples from participants with type 1 diabetes, 2) the genetic data from multiple T1DGC experiments, 3) previously generated islet autoantibody measurements, and 4) newly generated nonislet autoantibody data. An announcement was made to the research community of the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop and availability of data. Cleaned data sets were made available to the research teams (investigators interested in the same topic were encouraged to form "teams") and results of the analyses presented at an in-person meeting. Articles representing the results of these analyses are found in this supplement.
Each of the first three sources of data (clinical phenotypes, genotypes, and existing islet autoantibodies) had undergone extensive QC procedures. Details of the generation, QC, and analyses of the assembled genetic data can be found in previous reports (6–10). The methods for the autoantibody assays are described in greater detail in the articles in this supplement as well as in other summaries (4,5). The previously measured islet autoantibodies were assayed in the three T1DGC laboratories.
Measurements of the organ-specific autoantibodies (TPO, TG, 21-OH, and ATPase) were performed in the T1DGC North American laboratory (Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, Aurora, CO), which was designated as the Autoantibody Workshop Laboratory. This article describes the QC components for the nonislet autoantibody measurements used in the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop.
Autoantibody QC Procedures
The details on tracking assay performance for the measurement of islet autoantibodies have previously been reported (4). Assay results were reported to the T1DGC Coordinating Center.
Measurements of nonislet autoantibodies were performed at a single T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop Laboratory at the Barbara Davis Center. Similar to the QC assessment procedure for islet autoantibodies, a two-pronged QC system was implemented to assess nonislet autoantibodies. First, univariate analyses were conducted by the Coordinating Center (Wake Forest University) on the monthly data results from the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop Laboratory. Briefly, results over time were recorded and evaluated for drift. Based on these analyses, summary statistics (e.g., means, variances) and out-of-range values were obtained and, if necessary, investigated further. Second, duplicate autoantibody measures were performed on a random sample of ∼5% of participants with type 1 diabetes. Duplicate sera were collected and labeled with a separate, unique identifier and were sent to the laboratory in the normal sample shipments. The laboratory staff were masked as to which samples were duplicates. These samples were often measured in the same assay and are representative of intra-assay variation.
Interassay variation was evaluated by a second split-duplicate protocol in which previously measured duplicate pairs were resubmitted to the laboratory. A total of 632 intra-assay split pairs were tested for each autoantibody evaluated in the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop. Reliability was assessed using intraclass correlations and the technical error measurement for autoantibody measures, in addition to graphical inspection of the data. The technical error is defined as the square root of the pooled between-measures variance as a percentage of the sample mean. The technical error was compared with the laboratory's internal coefficient of variation (CV). If there was evidence of high technical error, the laboratory was contacted and the cause determined. The results of split-duplicate determinations were expressed as antibody positive or negative (as defined within the laboratory) and as WHO units per milliliter or as indices, depending on the autoantibody. For the Autoantibody Workshop, autoantibody measurements were certified and provided by the T1DGC Coordinating Center.
Genetics Data and QC Procedures
The available genetic data in the MHC on chromosome 6p21.3 were derived from the T1DGC MHC Fine Mapping project (11). These genetic data consisted of a dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) map (2 × 1,536 SNP panels), a polymorphic microsatellite map (66 variable number tandem repeats), and classic HLA typing to ensure comprehensive coverage of the 4-Mb MHC core region (Ensembl positions 29.5–33.5 Mb). Specific QC procedures were developed and implemented for each genotyping protocol (11). Quality checks, including examination of plate-to-panel yields, SNP performance, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations, mismatch error rates, Mendelian error rates (within families), and allele distribution patterns, were conducted for all data. Similar QC methods were implemented for candidate genes (T1DGC Rapid Response Workshop) (12), genome-wide linkage analyses (6–8), and the ImmunoChip analysis (conducted at the University of Virginia [10]).
The DNA samples used for these studies were derived from T1DGC ASP families, representing a total of 9,992 individuals from 2,325 ASP families ascertained from nine T1DGC recruitment cohorts (11). The families consisted primarily of nuclear families with an ASP, often with two parents and an unaffected sibling. After exclusions for poor-quality DNA, there were 9,979 samples and 339 QC samples sent for genotyping for all genetic marker sets.
The data based on the islet autoimmune markers used in the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop are provided elsewhere (4,10,11).
For the Autoantibody Workshop, T1DGC recognized the opportunity to investigate genetic associations between type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases for which autoantibodies could be measured. Nonislet autoantibodies were measured in samples from participants with type 1 diabetes; the nonislet antibodies are focused on the thyroid, adrenal, and parietal cell (gastric) systems. The results of QC that produced the analytic data for nonislet antibody intra-assay reproducibility are provided here. A summary of the QC results for these autoantibodies is provided in Table 1.
TPO is an enzyme found in the thyroid gland that contributes to the production of thyroid hormones. The presence of TPO antibodies suggests the presence or development of autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto thyroiditis or Graves disease). All samples were tested for TPO antibodies in the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop Laboratory. The technical error for samples was 7.74%. The internal CV at low TPO levels was 6.1% and at high levels was 8.7%. A total of 632 intra-assay split pairs were used for TPO testing. The mean (SD) difference between the pairs was 0.82 (10.92) WHO units/mL with 95.9% concordance in positive/negative calls within the split-pair samples.
TG antibodies bind TG, a major thyroid-specific protein that is important in thyroid hormone synthesis, storage, and release. TG antibodies and TPO antibodies are used in concert to identify likely cases of autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto and Graves disease). The values for this autoantibody are expressed as an index. The technical error for samples was 0.01%, and the internal CV was 5.9%. A total of 632 intra-assay split pairs have been tested for TG. The mean (SD) difference between the pairs was 0.00 (0.02) with 98.7% concordance in positive/negative calls within the split-pair samples.
The microsomal 21-OH (55 kD) has been shown to be the primary autoantigen associated with autoimmune Addison disease. The 21-OH autoantibodies are markers of autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex. In the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop, the values are expressed as an index, with a technical error for samples of 0.01%. The internal CV at low 21-OH autoantigen levels was 6.1%, and the internal CV at high levels was 8.7%. A total of 632 intra-assay split-pair samples were tested for 21-OH. The mean (SD) difference between the pairs was 0.00 (0.02) with 100% concordance in positive/negative calls within the split pairs.
Pernicious anemia is characterized by atrophic body gastritis leading to autoimmune chronic atrophic gastritis with destruction of gastric parietal cells and an inability to absorb vitamin B12. Diagnosis of pernicious anemia includes the presence of parietal cell antibodies that bind to the ATPase. For ATPase autoantibodies in the T1DGC samples, the technical error was 0.02%. Every plate of samples in the assay had one well derived from a pool of samples that historically had the very high titers as well as a series of five historically low titer samples as negative controls. The mean of intra-assay CVs was used to represent the typical CV for this assay: 2.6% (high titers), 11.1% (controls), and 4.5% (midrange values). A total of 632 intra-assay split pairs have been tested for ATPase. The mean (SD) difference between the pairs was 0.00 (0.03) with 97.9% concordance in positive/negative calls within the split pairs.
The purpose of the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop was to provide data sets for investigators to be able to determine the contribution of genes to variation in the presence of autoantibodies in a large collection of families enriched for type 1 diabetes (T1DGC ASP families). The T1DGC ASP families had previously been characterized with islet autoantibodies. Given the co-occurrence of other organ-specific autoimmune diseases with type 1 diabetes, there was interest in determining the presence of nonislet autoantibodies in family members with type 1 diabetes. With the extensive genetic data for analysis, a critical component of the workshop was to provide the antibody phenotypes to the working groups with robust measurements and QC.
Measurements were made of nonislet autoantibodies focused on the thyroid (TPO and TG), adrenal (21-OH), and parietal cell (gastric ATPase) systems in T1DGC participants with type 1 diabetes. We evaluated intra-assay precision, using masked sera, with a split-duplicate sample program. With more than 632 masked duplicate samples sent directly from the clinics and mixed with other samples, we determined the intra-assay percentage concordance of original positive/negative calls for selected autoantibodies. For the assays used in the T1DGC Autoantibody Workshop, there was high concordance in positive/negative calls within the duplicate split pairs, ensuring high-quality data for the genetic analyses of the samples.

I am preparing tomorrow's lecture on Mary of Bethany, and I confess: the stories are affecting me far more than I expected. As I pay attention to the sense of symmetry and initiation in the Gospel of John I am sensing things I had never seen before. I have always been struck by the poignancy of these passages- after all, it is in the raising of Lazarus that we have the shortest but most aching of all sentences in the Bible: "Jesus wept".
But I am also moved by the symmetry of initiation rituals: how Mary anoints Jesus' feet and then later, at Maundy Thursday's Last Supper, Jesus evokes the same gesture by washing the disciples' feet in his mandate to love one another.

This is one of the reviews I lost when my word processor got stolen, and since I've already thrown away my notes for it, I'll just have to reconstruct it from memory. Which is too bad, because I had all sorts of carefully-transcribed dialogue written out, and now that's all lost to time. And you, the reader, suffer. See? That's the legacy of crime.
This is one of those movies that was made for the Sci-Fi channel, with all the quality-control that implies. In it's place, however, is an ethos of "You want giant mutant spider attacks? You'll GET giant mutant spider attacks!" Which is appreciated, but you know, too much eggs benedict and not enough home fries makes breakfast boring.
We open with these two redneck bow hunters, one of whom is named Rocky. They are spying this prize buck, when they spy an end-table sized green spider creeping along. This sends Rocky, who is not a true friend, fleeing into the wilderness, leaving his friend stuck up a tree. The spider slowly stalks them, and they both die horrible, extended deaths.
We now introduce our numerous characters. There's a bus full of championship skiers on their way to this lodge for practice, including Chad, this super-cocky asshole who is quite sure that he is pretty much the best thing ever. He is such an obnoxious, over-the-top dickweed that you kind of have to appreciate him. Our scene now shifts to the lodge, where the other Vanessa Williams [the one who made the real Vanessa Williams add an "L." to the middle of her name] is going to pick up her sensitive private mail. I don't want to have to make a crack about dildoes. There she endures the hot come-ons of Dash Dashiell, skier dude with sad, unfortunate hair, who works at the lodge. We soon find out that Dash used to be a huge championship skier, but broke his leg and was abruptly dropped by all his sponsorships, which is why he's slumming it here as a ski instructor. Meanwhile, Vanessa works at the top-secret government lab just down the road.
She returns to the top-secret government lab to find a bunch of half-eaten guys laying around. I liked how Vanessa seems genuinely horrified and scared, and doesn't just scream at the top of her lungs like most heroines in such movies. I must say, she's actually quite good. She wends her way over to this big white cocoon in the corner, with a nasty red bloodstain seeping out the bottom. Seepage! Turns out this guy was one of her co-workers, and the spider removed his legs and strung him up as little snak-pak for later. This guy has a quite extensive and dramatic death scene, and the whole idea of his legs being taken and his blood seeping through the nasty cocoon is pretty genuinely horrifying—wait a minute, is this movie actually going to be GOOD?
Fear not, we need have no such worries on that account. So the giant black widow returns, and after a Jurassic Park-style chase in the lab, Vanessa holes up in a room and pulls the fire alarm, drawing people from outside to help her.
So soon the cops or whoever show up, including this one high-powered super asshole who just slings smarm in everyone's direction. TWO uber-assholes in one movie? What bounty!
So perhaps something more happens next that I've completely forgotten, but soon enough we're on to wholesale spider attack. Oh wait, I remember: Dash is asked to help Ranger Rick [yes, he's named Ranger Rick] go look for the two hunters. They find one of them, sans legs, but dead. I sort of like this creepy detail that the spiders remove their victim's legs, but it isn't developed. But have I mentioned that this movie is GORY? Yeah, super-gory. Anyway, soon enough Ranger Rick gets lassoed by a big neon green spider and reeled in like a big fish until spikes penetrate his skull. Dash high-tails it back to the lodge.
Okay, NOW is the spider-pocalypse. They're killing everyone at the lodge willy-nilly. Chad and company are in some shack and want to get to the school bus in the distance, but they watch as one spider takes down three people. I did appreciate how these spiders are badass motherFUCKERS. They also make a silly "Guaguagua" noise not unlike the Hamburgler. So the intrepid teens make a run for it and make it to the bus, only to find that they dead guy [legless, again] lying 50 feet outside has the keys. Chad runs out to get them, and when he's taking too long in the process someone on the bus yells "Come on! This isn't brain surgery!" He makes it back, and they're driving off when black spider legs creep down over the windshield. I like how a wave of screaming sounds in the bus—it's a good moment.
Meanwhile, at the lodge, spiders are also rampaging. Dash has made it back, and everyone is piling furniture in front of the door, despite the fact that the doors open outward. Well, maybe effort counts. This sequence contains my favorite snatches of idiot skier-dude dialogue, the first being the big-haired instructor going "The phones are dead! This is NOT COOL," and the absolute winner, this pithy exchange: "What do they want?" "They're trying to get in so they can eat us!" "Yeah, well it's freaking me out!" Soon enough one gets in and Dash stabs it to death with the antlers of a stuffed moose head.
Now, you'd think a movie with a full-scale giant mutant spider onslaught would be hard to make boring, but sometime in here interest sputters and totally dies out. It's just attack, attack, attack, and it gets pretty rote. By the end I have written in my notes "God, it's just awful," and I did end up fast-forwarding through the final 20 minutes.
Which wouldn't be so bad if the end weren't so totally anticlimatic. The Spider-SWAT team or whoever come in and shoot these nets that trap the spiders. The end. Sure, one breaks free and slaughters the military uber-asshole, but that's pretty much it. BOR-ing! But it's over now, and we can move on to other things.
I suppose I haven't mentioned that the cast boasts three people who used to be on Melrose Place. I can't point them out to you, because I never watched that show. I'm guessing, just by the hair, that Dash is one of them, however.
Regardless, it starts out good and it has several things going for it, it's just that it gets so boring by the end that you just want it to be over. This was a lesson to me, as I though that giant mutant spider attacks are something that could never get dull. Now I know… giant mutant spider attacks don't mean a thing… if you ain't got love.
If it's on Sci-Fi you could do worse than watch the first hour, but then I'd turn it off and get to those dishes piling up in the sink.

In this section of text, Celie and Shug settle into the room Shug shares with Grady, and Celie reads Letters 52–58 from Nettie out loud. All the letters open with the greeting Dear Celie. As the secondary narrator, Nettie begins her story from the moment Albert evicts her. She explains he follows her and tries to rape her, but she fights him off and runs into town. Nettie injures Mr. ___ in the struggle and he threatens to keep her apart from her sister. She finds a home with Samuel and Corrine, the Reverend Mr. ___, as Celie calls him, and his wife. From the start, Nettie joins them in all of their family activities "so I don't feel left out and alone." Joyously she takes care of the two children, Olivia and Adam. From their looks, Nettie suspects they are Celie's daughter and son, but she keeps her thoughts secret until Letter 55, where she acknowledges their identities and assures Celie that the children are well-cared for.
Missionaries Samuel and Corrine prepare to go to Africa. Nettie will travel with them to care for Olivia and Adam and to teach the Olinka children. In Letter 56, they stop in Harlem to gather donations that will support their missionary work. The upscale lives of the black people she encounters there and their openness in supporting their mission thrills her. During voyages to England and then Africa, Nettie begins to learn the history of black people.
The letters from the secondary narrator, Nettie, show a contrast between Celie and Nettie in the formation of important concepts and themes in the novel. Because Nettie has not been battered and abused by men, she calls Celie's husband Albert instead of Mr. ___ and the Reverend Mr. ___, Samuel. She believes people's names signify a specific internal and external identity and reputation, but titles can be derogatory as well as complimentary. Neither Nettie nor her sister have experienced anything close to the love, nurture, and bonds associated with being part of a family. When Nettie is accepted into Samuel and Corrine's family, they treat her with such kindness and respect she says, "They've been like family to me. Like family might have been, I mean." In Africa, she is impressed when she watches the families returning from working in the fields. The women carry their children on their backs while singing in unison.
Unlike Celie, Nettie often comments on the racism she witnesses between races as well as within ethnic groups. A fair judge, she is both neutral and critical, depending on the situation and her perceptions. When it comes to notions of religion, because of Albert's attack, Nettie understands Celie feels "so ashamed you couldn't even talk about it to God, you had to write about it." Nettie faithfully believes writing to Him brings Celie relief and offers her a meaningful spiritual relationship, "leav[ing] it all to God."
Thematically, Nettie understands the sacrifices Celie has made. Nettie is overwhelmed by Celie's endurance of their father's assaults and her willing entrance into a forced marriage: "I think about the time you laid yourself down for me. I love you with all of my heart," Nettie writes. She also observes the reality of human invisibility. While still in Georgia, and during her life with the Olinka, Nettie witnesses how easily gender roles make women invisible to the men around them.

Ulfast glanced surreptitiously at his older brother, who had just noticed Jord also. Had he seen that little tilt of the head, that single finger beckoning? He gave no sign. But it would be untoward to talk to Jord in front of all these guards and his own brother. He gave one nod of his head and glanced meaningfully toward his private room, hoping she would understand.
Anydor, Uldor's chief guard, and Clegga, his own, vied with each other to give news of the captive who had been imprisoned for treason. The man called himself Thorn. Did Uldor and Ulfast want him brought out for questioning now?
Uldor was ready to question the prisoner right away.
Ulfast said, "First, brother, I would get out of this bloodstained tunic and eat and drink, for I am famished. I see blood on you as well. What say you? The prisoner can moulder another hour."

These two services, which have the same purpose of collecting, storing and communicating documents, hold complementary collections.
Belonging to two separate authorities, their main difference lies in the administrative collections for which they are responsible.
The Municipal Archives are a service of the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) and they hold the archives of the City of Bordeaux whilst the departmental Archives, a service of the Conseil Général (General Council) is responsible for the archives of this authority but also for the decentralized State departments present in Gironde, notaries and small municipalities.
No, the consultation of documents can only take place on site since the documents consulted are very often originals.
No, the Bordeaux Municipal Archives do not allow microfilms to be lent to other archive depots.
Almost all but not quite! In some cases there can be restrictions due to the bad condition of the document, to the minimum legal period before publication to the public for certain types of administrative documents, or to specific conditions, as laid down by the donor or depositor in the case of private archives.
No, in the majority of cases, since it can damage the preservation of certain types of documents, such as hard or soft bound works, sealed documents, formats larger than A3 size, burnt documents, fragile documents (tracings, india paper and newspapers) and iconography. It is however possible to request a photographic reproduction from the department, according to the tariff current at the time, or to take a photograph oneself, without a flash, in the reading room, having first obtained the curator's agreement.

The Municipal Archives do not undertake genealogical research for private individuals, unless there is a duly certified administrative or legal requirement (identity card, inheritance settlement etc.). Since it is a hobby, the relevant people are invited either to drop in, or to request help from a genealogical organization if they are unable to travel.
The Municipal Archives hold an administrative and local history library which is basically devoted to Bordeaux. With nearly 18000 works, it contains some ancient books from the XVI, XVII and XVIII century, as well as numerous publications from the XIX and XX centuries. It is regularly supplemented with acquisitions and gifts from researchers and students.
Yes, the Bordeaux Municipal Archives owns a large collection of newspapers which is in addition to that held at the City Library. The most famous is Sud-Ouest which replaced La Petite Gironde in August 1944. Some publications are no longer open to consultation at the Archives since they can be consulted on microfilm at the Meriadeck City Library (this is the case of La Petite Gironde).
The oldest city document is the book of customs. It is a manuscript written in Gascon and in Latin dating from 1388. It is part of the ancient collection which covers the period from the XIV century up until the French Revolution (1789). Apart from this work, the oldest documents can be found in the series II of the ancient collection and certain private collections, such as the Condé collection which contains a document from 1190.
Since the town of Caudéran was annexed to Bordeaux on February 12 1965, its archives are held at the Bordeaux Municipal Archives. Complementary sources exist in the prefecture collection of the departmental Archives of the Gironde.
The list of the mayors of Bordeaux is available on the city website.

I am using Joomla! CMS to develop a website. In the not-so-distant past I customized a template to schlep up a website. It was fun and interesting to tear apart the code to de-joomla!-fy the template. So interesting that in fact, I am flirting with the idea of making my own template from scratch.
So, if I am to pursue this, where do I start? Do you know of any really good reference material, or should I just play with the code all day until things work out? I prefer to do tons of reading (for the concepts) before I go at it.
