Knitting and life.
They're both about beginnings—and endings. That's why Lydia Goetz, owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle's Blossom Street, offers a class called Knit to Quit. It's for people who want to quit something—or someone!—and start a new phase of their lives.
First to join is Phoebe Rylander, who's trying to get over a man. Alix Turner and her husband want a baby, so she has to quit smoking. And Bryan Hutchinson needs a way to deal with the stress of running his family's business.
Then there's Lydia's friend Anne Marie Roche. She and her adopted daughter, Ellen, have finally settled into a secure and happy routine—when a stranger appears asking questions.
Meanwhile, Lydia and her husband, Brad, have their hands full with the angry, defiant twelve-year-old who unexpectedly becomes their foster child….
But when your life—and your stitches—get snarled, your friends can always help!

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is a significant risk factor for age-related cataract, a disease of the human lens and the most prevalent cause of blindness in the world. Cataract pathology involves protein misfolding and aggregation of the primary proteins of the lens, the crystallins. Human γD-crystallin (HγD-Crys) is a major γ-crystallin in the nucleus of the human lens. We report here analysis of UVR-induced damage to HγD-Crys in vitro. Irradiation of solutions of recombinant HγD-Crys with UVA/UVB light produced a rise in solution turbidity due to polymerization of the monomeric crystallins into higher molecular weight aggregates. A significant fraction of this polymerized protein was covalently linked. Photoaggregation of HγD-Crys required oxygen and its rate was protein concentration and UVR dose dependent. To investigate the potential roles of individual tryptophan residues in photoaggregation, triple W:F mutants of HγD-Crys were irradiated. Surprisingly, despite reducing UVR absorbing capacity, multiple W:F HγD-Crys mutant proteins photoaggregated more quickly and extensively than wild type. The results reported here are consistent with previous studies that postulated that an energy transfer mechanism between the highly conserved pairs of tryptophan residues in HγD-Crys could be protective against UVR-induced photodamage.

Systemic Practice and Action Research
Systemic Practice and Action Research (SPAR) is dedicated to critical systems thinking and its applications and building an understanding of the complexities of modern society. The journal examines the effects of technological advancement, including older technologies that continue to have profound effects on society today. Furthermore, the journal contributes to a rethinking of science as well as to the reflective application of systemic practice and action research in all types of organizational and social settings.
A forum that fosters new thinking about management and systems research, SPAR also encourages traditional research methods that have remained effective. Contributions therefore draw upon all forms of investigation and reasoning, including deductionism, empiricism, inductionism, and metaphor. Readers will find works of original research, case studies, reflections on experience, and short research notes.Officially cited as: Syst Pract Action Res

Contact: Lauren Sullivan November 30, 2007 215.351.2066 WHYY AND ITVS COMMUNITY CINEMA EXAMINE STEM CELL RESEARCH WITH A PANEL DISCUSION AND ADVANCED SCREENING OF MAPPING STEM CELL RESEARCH: TERRA INCOGNITA WHYY and ITVS Community Cinema examine stem cell research with an advance screening of the ITVS film, MAPPING STEM CELL RESEARCH: Terra Incognita by Maria Finitzo, and a panel discussion hosted by The Philadelphia Inquirer medical staff writer Marie McCullough on Wednesday, Dec 19th at the WHYY Independence Foundation Civic Space, (150 N 6th Street, 19106). The event will begin with a reception at 5:30 p.m. The program starts at 6:15 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to RSVP, please call 215.351.0511 or visit www.whyy.org. Panelists include Paul Root-Wolpe, Ph.D., an Associate Professor of Sociology in Psychiatry in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, where he holds appointments in the Department of Medical Ethics and the Department of Sociology. Jonathan A. Epstein, M.D., the William Wikoff Smith Chair in Cardiovascular Research, Chairman of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology and the Scientific Director of the Penn Cardiovascular Institute. Fr. Tadeusz Pacholczyk, Ph.D., who is featured in the film, is a priest of the diocese of Fall River, Massachusetts who has worked for several years as a molecular biologist at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School. MAPPING STEM CELL RESEACH: Terra Incognita tells the story of Dr. Jack Kessler, the current chair of Northwestern University's Department of Neurology and Clinical Neurological Sciences, and his daughter, Allison, an undergraduate student at Harvard University. When Kessler was invited to head up the Neurology Department at Northwestern, his focus was on using stem cells to treat the neurological complications of diabetes. However, soon after his move to Chicago, his daughter, Allison, then age 15, was injured in a skiing accident and paralyzed from the waist down. In the moments following the accident, Dr. Kessler made the decision to change the focus of his research to begin looking for a cure for spinal cord injuries using embryonic stem cells. The film follows his alternately frustrating and exhilarating research, as well as two young women whose lives were devastatingly altered by spinal cord injuries. Following the lives of the Kesslers, lab researchers and others affected by spinal cord injury, the film movingly depicts the high stakes involved in the quest to harness the full potential of stem cell medicine and the resilience and courage of people living every day with devastating disease and injury. It is one of the most controversial issues of our time, one that is sure to be a major part of the upcoming political debates. MAPPING STEM CELL RESEACH: Terra Incognita goes beyond the rhetoric to put a human face on the issue, introducing viewers to doctors, researchers and patients on the front lines. Directed by Maria Finitzo and produced by the award-winning Kartemquin Films (Hoop Dreams, Independent Lens' THE NEW AMERICANS). ### WHYY is what a diverse community has in common. WHYY, through television, radio and other communications services, makes our region a better place, connecting each of us to the world's richest ideas and all of us to each other.

He serves on several editorial boards, and is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Dr. Epstein's research has focused on the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular development and implications for understanding and treating human disease. His group has been at the forefront of utilizing mouse models of congenital heart disease to determine genetic and molecular pathways required for cardiac morphogenesis, including the role of neural crest in cardiovascular development. This line of investigation led to the identification of TBX1 as a candidate gene for DiGeorge syndrome, a common human condition associated with congenital heart disease, and to the implication of a series of other candidate genes for congenital cardiac disorders. The Epstein group has discovered novel signaling pathways regulating vascular patterning, angiogenesis and blood vessel growth. Genetic studies in mouse models have demonstrated a critical function for the gene responsible for von Recklinghausen Neurofibromatosis (NF1) in the vasculature. Using mouse and zebrafish models, novel members of the semaphorin family of guidance molecules have been implicated in the growth and patterning of both large and small vessels. Studies of cardiac development have been extended to implicate similar pathways in adult cardiac homeostasis and disease, with direct implications for the development of new therapeutic agents for heart failure and myocardial infarction. In addition to his research commitments, Dr. Epstein practices medicine in the cardiac intensive care unit at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Veteran Administration Hospital.

Running Windows 10 on a computer seems to be the one big thing everyone wants to be doing right now. This is a chance to try out the OS without actually paying for it. For once Microsoft is eager to get people's take on what they hope will be a game changer in the PC market. And they've even given out the system requirements for running the OS.
"Basically, if your PC can run Windows 8.1, you're good to go. If you're not sure, don't worry–Windows will check your system to make sure if it can install the preview." This is essentially correct, though there's more to. But for most people this is gist enough to get the picture: they don't have to buy a new machine if they have something which was running a directly former Windows version. This is pretty much what you'll hear on calling the Windows customer support number.
If you're one of those users that stuck to Windows 7 because you simply liked it better, and not for the lack of a better config, there's a way to check if your rig is up to running Winnows 10. The installer runs a check first, to make sure that you're not going to overload the hardware. What Microsoft says you'll need are as follows:
• 1 GHz or faster processor.
• 1 GB of RAM, 2 GB if you're installing 64 bit.
• 16 GB of free space.
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver
• A registered account with Microsoft, and internet connectivity.
Aside from that
If you're technically inclined, then it's hard not to notice that most of the specs for this OS are much the same as for Windows 7. People have already pointed this out on forums online. It seems many of them even have this straight from the Windows customer support number. The only thing you need more of is the processor, for which the requirement is 1 GHz, and with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2.
PAE is what lets a 32 bit processor use more than 4GB of physical memory. It's also needed for NX to run. NX is a sort of security component for the PC. And SSE2 is a fast growing standard instruction set, mainly used by apps and drivers. Combine all these and the new OS is bound to be radically different from what's come before.
Windows Server is the server version of the popular Windows operating system. It is one of the most popular platforms running on many Enterprise servers around the world. According to recent reports, Microsoft is working on a lightweight version of Windows Server for companies that are dealing with website operations alone. However, there was no confirmation about this on any of the Windows customer support forums.
Microsoft always releases a slew of software products based on their latest operating system and this applies to the Windows Server applications as well. Therefore, it makes sense to assume that they might be planning to release a Windows Server version as well when they finally release Windows 10 this year.
There are plenty of rumours floating online about this next generation Windows Server operating system, including some leaked presentation slides about the OS under development. As mentioned earlier, Microsoft has not confirmed any of this news, but some Windows customer support forums and other tech websites continue to share and publish reports on the leaked information.
These leaked slides carry the name 'Nano Server'. It is highly unlikely that this is the name Microsoft is planning for the lightweight version of their Windows Server OS. The slides talk about setting up a headless deployment option for Windows Server, focuses on cloud-based OS infrastructure, and so on.
It is clear that Microsoft will be focusing a great deal on the cloud computing technology in their next version of Windows Server, but 'Nano' does not looks like what the tech giant would want to name it. If indeed they were working on a lightweight version of Windows Server, this would certainly be great news to many Enterprise customers who have been asking for such a Windows Server version in the past.
Actually, with the recent developments in the cloud computing technology, such a reduced and easily deployable Windows Server version can really become a reality if the Windows developers at Microsoft can come up with a solution. Experts assume that this might become a part of Microsoft's already existing array of cloud-based Software-as-a-Service applications.
Already, they are gained a lot of customers for the Windows Azure SaaS platform. They might be able to generate the same level of interest for a lightweight cloud-based version of Windows Server, if they indeed they are planning to release such a thing. Though Microsoft has not confirmed any of these rumours, it is possible that they will release the details during their next major media event scheduled to happen in a few months' time.
If you are facing some failure configuring Windows updates error, you might have to wait for at least about 20 to 30 minutes before being able to use your PC normally. If the PC fails to start normally even after this estimated time, you may have to look into the issue further and see if everything is okay. Here are a few steps that you can try.
Restart the PC
The first step that you must perform if the failure configuring Windows updates issue surfaces after making any changes in your PC is to restart it. After the restart, try if you can install the Windows updates without any problems. If the problem seems to continue, go to the next step.
Execute Windows Update troubleshooter
You can either make use of the built-in Windows Update troubleshooter or a different one from online. Execute the Windows Update troubleshooter and see if it fixes the issue. If the issue seems to persist, go to the next step.
System Restore
Sometimes, running a system restore would address a number of software-related issues that you face in your computer including the ones related to the update. Check whether you can install the updates after performing a system restore. If the issue seems to persist, go to the next step.
Hide Microsoft services
In the opinion of some PC experts, hiding the Microsoft services will resolve the update issue. To hide the Microsoft Services, go to Search and enter msconfig.exe. Click Enter. This will bring up the system configuration utility. Go straight to the tab labeled Services and choose Hide all Microsoft services options. Make sure that the all of those services are disabled as well. Click the Exit button now. Reboot your PC now and see if you are able to go ahead with the Windows Update without any issues.
Boot your machine in Clean Boot State
When you boot your machine in clean boot state, it will prevent all the Windows services, security software, firewall or other applications from blocking the Windows updates from being installed on your PC. Therefore, try this step as well to see if it helps to make any changes.
The above points discussed how to fix Windows Update issue. If none of the above steps help in bringing any results, get in touch with an expert.
The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) 2014 R2 suite of tools for enterprise software management has been recently introduced by Microsoft and is available for download from the MSN website.
The R2 version is a sequel to the R1 Version released in May and mostly contains changes and enhancements to two of the six tools in the suite. Among the list of features it provides, a new User Experience Virtualization (UE-V) 2.1 tool and a new Application Virtualization (App-V) 5.0 Service Pack 3, are few major highlights of the latest pack.
You will need to head over to the official Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center home page in order to download the latest pack. However, do keep in mind that these services are only available for enterprise users who have enabled Software Assurance licensing program offered by Microsoft as well as organizations that have availed Microsoft Intune subscriptions or Virtual Desktop Access licensing from Microsoft using Windows credentials.
App-V 5.0 SP3
Microsoft's latest application virtualization solution focuses on improving its management capabilities and improving connection groups. In the latest feature, users can group Apps together and enables organization in managing them "like locally installed software," according to statements from Microsoft.
As we know, App-V feature is used to package applications to execute them on a virtual machine inside a server. The latest set of features enable IT professionals to create a connection group that includes optional and non-optional packages when using the App-V 5.0 SP3. Other feature of the latest update includes deletion of optional and non-optional packages from a connection group. This is achieved without having to re-enable the connection group and can be done when system is still online. You can contact the Windows support desk to know more features about the same.
Microsoft announced that it has included four new improvements in the all new UE-V 2.1. The UE-V 2.1 is the user settings virtualization solution that has been updated to permit external enterprise cloud-based storage services, enabling it to store PC and App settings. Another major highlight of the new update is that UE-V 2.1 now allows Windows credentials roaming, which will store user credentials and retain them across devices.
Moreover, IT professionals will now have the ability to assign a backup profile to the UE-V template, and set a restore point for a device. Other features added by Microsoft include "Enhanced Outlook signature synchronization and default UE-V Office 2013 settings templates."
If you want to get further details or an in-depth analysis of the different feature updates in MDOP 2014 R2 pack, you can contact the official Windows support team.
With public release of Windows 10 OS a long way to go, users are still stuck with technical preview version of Windows 10. The upcoming operating system packs in a lot of changes from its predecessors and also brings in hoards of new features. One of the prominent changes you will get to see is the return of the Windows Start menu. The new Start menu is back, albeit with few changes. Although not the Windows 8 style Start screen, the Start menu still contains Live tiles that were introduced in the predecessor version.
If you want to install the Windows 10 OS, you only need to head over to the official Microsoft website and log-in using your Microsoft credentials. One of the first things you will notice is the better ability to customize the user-interface to suit your needs. For example, if you do not like Live Tiles inside Windows Start menu, you can turn the feature off. You can move the tiles around and set the size of each tile, enabling you to optimize the OS the way you want. Thus, if you want to roll back to the classic style Windows operating system, you can do so by making use of the Classic Shell.
In the Beta 4.2.0 version, you will get the configuration improvements you require as well as better Windows Support. Thus, you can use the Technical Preview version to replace the built-in Windows Start menu with the ones that come along with Classic Shell. Among the list of options, you can choose from Classic style, Classic style with two columns and Windows 7 Style.
Once you have installed the Beta 4.2.0 version, you will be able to set the Windows Start menu the way you want it. However, the Windows 10 Start button will remain regardless of the Start menu setting you choose. If you wish, you can change the Windows 10 Start button to something else. As you can see, classic shell in Windows allows a greater amount of customization options. Moreover, the classic shell will be upgraded from time to time to accommodate higher degree of customization. At present, the available options are identical to the ones found in Windows 8 version.
If you require further help with classic shell, or require technical support in rolling back a specific update, you can contact the Windows Support department. The support technicians will help you troubleshoot any issues you have with your Windows system.

Customer Raves & Reviews
The idea of using a magnet for a save the date is simply brilliant. Our families are spread out across the country and we are right in the middle, so we were hoping by sending out save the dates a year in advance would give people enough time to plan/fund their trips here. Being able to hang the save the date on the fridge so you can see it every day is such a great idea!!! The quality is great, the colors are vibrant, and the size is huge for what you're paying. Thanks!
Beautiful Stationery, Fast Delivery
I would absolutely recommend Magnet Street for your wedding stationery, or really any stationery needs. I chose the Twinkling Hearts collection and was able to personalize my wedding colors and request changes that I wasn't able to make on my end. Everything came properly personalized, looked beautiful and professional and was at my door six days from the day I placed my order. The customer service team was also very helpful when I needed to add to my order. Fast, efficient and great quality products.
beautiful product
The cards were a little bigger than I thought but the paper quality was great. The colors and pattern was a perfect match to my invitations.
Amazing Save The Date Magnets
I shopped around at different vendors for save the date magnets. Being a bride on a budget (as most are), I was looking for the lowest price but still required that the quality be there. Magnet Street came through at a very reasonable price and our magnets arrived in a cute magnetic box. Our family loves them, and so do we. Easy customization and many layouts to choose from. You can't go wrong with Magnet Street!
Elegant and fun
This invitation caught our eye because we'll have strings of lights just like those pictured as decorations at our venue. The invitation fits us perfectly - we wanted something that was both elegant and fun, and this card is definitely both! Our main wedding colors were not available but we chose the green option, which I think complements our wedding colors well. It's also a great deal - we wanted nice invitations but also did not want to bust the budget on invites. We took advantage of a Valentine's Day special and the total price was really reasonable. In fact, with the money we saved on invites, we can afford to come back and order our programs from this site. Originally we were thinking we'd have to make programs ourselves, but it's so nice to have one less thing on the to-do list! So thank you Magnet Street!

The History of A Fine Wine
Château Haut-Brion is a French wine, rated a Premier Cru Classé (First Growth), produced in Pessac just outside the city of Bordeaux. It differs from the other wines on the list in its geographic location in the north of the wine-growing region of Graves. Graves is an important subregion of the Bordeaux wine region and is the only Bordeaux subregion which is famed for all three of Bordeaux' three main wine types—reds, dry whites and sweet wines, although red wines dominate the total production.
Being from such an historic region Château Haut-Brion has a rich past. Last year Domaine Clarence Dillon the family-owned and managed company,which produces Château Haut-Brion launched a challenge: to discover a written mention of Haut-Brion wine prior 1660 when the wine was contained in the cellar book of King Charles II of England, the oldest known to date. This Historical Challenge was met!
From all of the submissions recorded, two authenticated mentions emerged from the past, or more precisely the beginning of the 16th century. The earliest mention discovered now dates back to 1521, in other words 139 years earlier!
The oldest text is a notarial instrument dated 21 January 15211, discovered in the Gironde Departmental Archives, which concerns a sale of a perpetual annuity in wine between Jean de Monque, a squire and lord of the locality of Monque, and Guilhem de Mailhois, bourgeois, merchant and sergeant of Bordeaux.
This sale is agreed for a sum of 400 Bordeaux francs (a sum that would be equivalent to a current purchasing power of over approximately €50,000). In repayment of this loan, Jean de Monque undertakes to deliver each year "four pipes of wine… from the place known as Aubrion" (equivalent to eight barrique casks or 1,800 l):
« quatre pipes de vin, seront du cru des vignes appartenant audit de Monque du lieu appelé Aubrion, appartenant audit vendeur. Lesquelles sont sises derrière son bourdieu assis audit lieu appelé du Brion, en la paroisse Saint-Martin de Pessac, ensemble des vignes de Pins Bouquet, de la Gravette et de Cantegrit, le tout appartenant audit seigneur de Monque, assis en Graves de Bordeaux et si cas était que ne vint aucuns fruits de raisins qui fussent pour satisfaire lesdites quatre pipes de vin de rente, bon, pur et net et marchand, le dit vendeur sera tenu lui en bailler d'autres aussi bon provenu du cru desdites vignes dessus déclarées ».
["four pipes of wine, will be from the vineyard (cru) belonging to the said de Monque from the place known as Aubrion, belonging to the said seller. The said vines being found behind his smallholding established in the said place known as Le Brion, in the parish of Saint-Martin de Pessac, all of the vines of Pins Bouquet, la Gravette and Cantegrit, all belonging to the said lord of Monque, domiciled in Graves in Bordeaux, and if there are no grapes to fill the said four pipes of wine as an annuity – good, pure and clean and sellable, the said seller will be obliged to provide him with others that are just as good from the vineyard of the said abovementioned vines".]
For the first time, Haut-Brion wine is associated with this extremely specific and prestigious term: Growth. Accordingly, from 1521, this text heralds an evolution spanning over three centuries that would take Haut-Brion to the rank of "First Growth" in the Gironde Wine Classification in 1855.
The second verified instrument is dated 1st September 15262. It is a sale of wine, made before a royal notary in Bordeaux: Esclarmonde de Lagarde, a Bordeaux woman, is selling to Pierre Gassies and Pierre Mulle, who are probably merchants, a quantity of two barrels of wine, equivalent to eight barrique casks: "two barrels of clairet or red wine from the vineyard of Haulbrion in Graves".
On this date, the year's grape harvest has not yet been gathered, so it therefore represents a sale on the vine. The quality of the harvest is not yet certain: if it is good, the wine will naturally be concentrated, with a red colour… if it is very average, the colour will be dark pink (clairet)… hence the possibility accepted in the contract.
The most remarkable feature of this instrument lies in the fact that in this business transaction the name of the product sold has been simplified: "wine from the vineyard of Haulbrion". The reference to the vines and their owner is no longer even present in the trade name. From 1526, therefore, the fusion between the name of the vineyard – or terroir – and that of the wine produced there is already virtually complete. We are very close to the designation "vino de Hobbriono" in King Charles II of England's cellar book in 1660.
This Château Haut-Brion Historical Challenge has therefore been extremely enriching for the history of this great vineyard and the wines of Bordeaux. We would like to thank and congratulate all those who researched and helped us to go back even further in time to discover evidence regarding the birth and development of what might be the oldest luxury brand in the world: Haut-Brion.
