SPRING HILL — For any amateur cook who relishes the craft, who yearns to get into a restaurant kitchen, dip into already chopped and prepared ingredients, concoct a meal, and not have to clean up later, Let's Eat in Silverthorn Square awaits.
Former teachers Norma Foote and Cheryl Whittaker of Spring Hill launched the local franchise of the Tampa-based national chain in December. Too tired by the time they got home from work to whip up fresh and nutritious dinners for their families, they figured many other working parents shared their situation.
The sign out front has led to some confusion among passers-by, who assumed the venue is a traditional restaurant. It's more hands-on than that.
It's make-your-own-meal, take it home and cook it or freeze it, without the wait for a restaurant table and with the confidence that the order is exactly what you wanted. If the dish calls for cilantro, for instance, and the would-be chef doesn't like the herb, just skip it. It's your choice.
From the shiny stainless steel, spick-and-span working stations in the spacious kitchen, customers peruse menus, parcel out their ingredients, sprinkle in spices and herbs neatly aligned and labeled on the top counter, and mix and ladle their results into take-home aluminum foil cooking pans or seal-lock plastic bags.
Customers are issued aprons and plastic food-handler gloves. A customer service assistant peeks over the shoulder of a novice cook, ready to answer questions or assist if necessary.
As for the herbs and spices, Foote said, "Some people buy a bottle for one recipe and never buy it again."
She pointed to turmeric and chili powder. They're freshly available for the single sprinkle or two at Let's Eat.
When a customer concocts a meal, it is quickly plunked onto his or her designated refrigerator shelf while the preparer moves on to another menu station. Food safety is a top priority.
On a recent Tuesday — dubbed Take 2 Tuesday — Robert Kowal, 70, readily put together two pans of sierra chicken, boneless chicken breasts lathered in barbecue sauce, smothered with Colby Jack cheese, drizzled with honey mustard.
"He's a natural. He's good," said customer service representative Robert Wood.
Kowal, a business broker whose wife works at Wal-Mart, hates eating out. "Most restaurants are mediocre anyhow, unless they're very expensive,'' he said.
Instead, he's prepared many meals at Let's Eat outlets around the Tampa Bay area.
Kowal likes the Tuesday specials: no reservations necessary, just drop in and put together two meals of three to four servings each in 30 to 40 minutes.
Mostly, he makes the chicken dishes. "We don't want any blood pressure problems," he said. Kowal moved on to the arroz con pollo station, chicken with a marinade rub, rice, peas, black beans, herbs and olive oil.
Co-owner Foote echoed her customer's preference for putting together a meal at Let's Eat. "It's healthier," she said.
Added Whittaker, "It's more cost-effective. They're getting home-cooked meals. They don't have all that prep time and cleaning up."
Customers can sign up for a one- to seven-meal, eight-meal or 12-meal package, each serving four to six. Prices range from $22 to $17 per meal, depending on the quantity. The entrepreneurs calculate that the price per serving ranges from $3.66 to $2.83.
But a customer doesn't have to prepare the meal. A customer who arrived in a wheelchair sipped a complimentary coffee while she watched her order being put together by staff. Afternoon customers are offered iced tea.
For a party of eight or more wanna-be chefs, Let's Eat will shut the doors and tend to the party's wishes, providing wine and hors d'oeuvres as well.
Wednesdays are dubbed Grab and Go. "Stop by our store or call ahead to see which meals we have assembled," reads its advertisement. "Dinner will be waiting in our refrigerator for you to pick up!"
Menus, 14 entrees each, are issued monthly from corporate headquarters in Tampa. They have been taste-tested, Whittaker said.
In addition to the chicken entrees that Kowal pursued, March offered such dishes as Southwestern beef enchiladas, grilled sesame steak, Santa Fe bean burgers, mussels puttanesca and blackened mahi with black bean salsa.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for walk-ins Monday and Tuesday; preparation sessions by reservation at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Wednesday through Friday; and 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday.
Upcoming sessions for Kids in the Kitchen are 10 a.m. April 9 and 1 p.m. April 11.
"They'll make cookies, help parents assemble meals, tour the kitchen and get a chef's cap," Foote said.
The venue's challenge, she added, "is getting people to understand the concept. It's getting the word out about what we do."

Checking our list.
The key driving force behind the Boost hub movement is that the wider flange spacing makes for a smaller spoke angle, increasing the stiffness and addressing the noodliness that plagues 29ers. Not all of us are ready to pony-up for a Boost frame, though, so we've partnered with Reynolds to produce the custom 29 Trail LTD Carbon Wheelset. When we set out hand-in-hand with Reynolds, roosting berms across the yellow-brick endurance course, we had three criteria: stiff rims, DT Swiss hubs, and a distinctive graphical treatment.
The first requirement was easily met, as we're well familiar with the stiff mettle of Reynolds' 29 Trail rims from personal experience. There's a reason why other wheel manufacturers focus on making hubs and just lace them to re-branded Reynolds rims: the Utah-based company has already built a virtually perfect XC race hoop. Since carbon rims are stiff enough that the difference between Boost and 142/100mm axles is far less notable than with alloy rims, the 29 Trail LTDs bring our present XC race frames up to snuff, stiffness-wise. The second requirement was equally easy to meet. Reynolds' hubs are already essentially rebranded DT Swiss models, so the only difference is that we opted for the DT logo, instead, giving the wheel more of a custom-built look.
Finally, we admit to the occasional streak of vanity, and the half-and-half color of the wheels' Reynolds label is our way of visually representing the versatility of today's 29ers. New suspension designs and innovative frame geometries have obliterated the old stereotypes of wagon wheels being for fire roads and ribbon-smooth singletrack only, and we're seeing a new generation of mid-travel, 29in trail bikes. Toward this end, the wheels have an ideal profile for 2.25in tires to fill out for confidence through berms and gnarly lines, but they still excel as worm-burning climbers courtesy of carbon fiber's inherent stiffness and low rotational mass.

Do these wheels have a rider weight limit?
Hi Frank! There is no rider weight limit on these wheels. Give me a shout and we can go over the details. email@example.com 801-204-4557
Is there an end cap kit available to conver these hubs for use with a rear 135 QR and a front standard QR? Thanks
What cassettes will this hub handle as is? I have bikes with sram X0 and Shimano XTRcassettes.
These will work with any Sram or Shimano 10 speed setup as well as Shimano 11 speed.

text: Hi gents, I know there are quite a few threads, but all seem to point in different directions! My AVUS are in average condition and pretty sure they will be replaced by RSTTs in the New Year. However, currently they are in need of new front tyres. What should I get? And are you of the opinion it should be the same tyre all round? I'd rather not replace the two rears, but they are P6000 and have not been the greatest. Shame really as they were excellent on the Clio before I upgraded to 16"s! These might just stay as winter wheels, so something good in the wet/snow would be ideal! Thoughts?

Brand New Heavies Biography
The Brand New Heavies are an acid jazz and alternative hip hop group formed in 1985 in Ealing, a suburb of London, England. Originally an instrumental rare groove group, the Brand New Heavies gained a cult following in the London club scene and soon signed to Cooltempo as acid house replaced rare groove in clubs.
The core members of the group are Jan Kincaid, Simon Bartholomew and Andrew 'Love' Levy.
A single, 'Got to Give', came out on Cooltempo before the Brand New Heavies signed to Acid Jazz Records and released Brand New Heavies to critical acclaim. American distribution was picked up by influential label Delicious Vinyl, and N'Dea Davenport joined the group. Singles like 'Dream Come True' and 'Never Stop' became hits on both sides of the Atlantic, and the group's appearance with MC Serch (formerly of 3rd Bass) and Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest) at a performance in New York City inspired the group to incorporate elements of hip hop music. Their next album was the critically acclaimed Heavy Rhyme Experience, Vol. 1, which included collaborations with Gang Starr and The Pharcyde, among others.
Brother Sister (1994, 1994 in music) was the last album with Davenport, and she was replaced by Siedah Garrett for Shelter (1997, 1997 in music).
The Brand New Heavies subsequently released a number of singles featuring singer Carleen Anderson followed by the album Allaboutthefunk (2004, 2004 in music) featuring Nicole Russo on vocals.

Brand New Heavies Back With Davenport April 07, 2006, 3:45 PM ET Gail Mitchell, L.A. Soul/funk connoisseurs the Brand New Heavies are reuniting with lead singer N'Dea Davenport and former label Delicious Vinyl, Billboard has learned. A new album, 'Get Used to It,' will be released June 27 through Starbucks and traditional music retail outlets.
The album was recorded in New York and London; a lead single will drop the first week of May. Following the album's release, look for the Brand New Heavies to roll out a 25-city nationwide tour in July and August.
It has been 15 years since the band first invaded the United States with its energetic brand of live R&B/soul and funk. The self-titled debut album -- powered by guitarist Simon Bartholomew, drummer/keyboardist Jan Kinkaid, bassist Andrew Love Levy and Davenport -- sparked a No. 3 R&B hit in 1991 with 'Never Stop.' Subsequent U.S.-issued singles 'Stay This Way' (1991), 'Dream on Dreamer' (1994) and 'Sometimes' (1997) notched top 20 status.
So nearly 10 years later, can the group re-engage stateside attention? Delicious Vinyl co-founder Michael Ross believes that is a moot point. 'They have a definitive sound, a creative dynamic that's timeless and universal,' he says. 'As far as their music hitting and connecting? No question.'
The group came up with the name after signing their first record contract, borrowing from a liner note on a James Brown single declaring the artist 'Minister of New Super Heavy Funk'1.

MAC mineral powderI love MAC's mineral powder. I have been using only 3 different brands of make-up and MAC is one of them. Whe the mineral make-up explosion started I was confused, because I wasn't sure which one to try. I mean you see famous people on TV telling you to use this or that product because they do. But that doesn't do it for me, I use it because it works the best for me. My friend recommended it to me...read more, and I tried it. I was so stoked at the way it covered the age spots nd lines it really made a huge difference. So it is a permanent fixture in my caboodles make-up box.

Geriatric rapper DaddyDaDa destroys every MC in the game on his new single 'Treat All Women With Respect.' Seriously, his rhymes are so funky, they come with a Speed Stick.
We've all sat through some brutal car dealership commercials but this one is a real doozy. This is no doubt the worst but at the same time, it's best cause it's so flipping stupid and will make you laugh. Welcome to the the south side, yeah!
It would be perfectly understandable to be disappointed if you were looking forward to seeing the guys from 'Workaholics' on Conan's show, and he announced that they had to cancel last minute. But that disappointment would be worth the excitement of realizing PSYCH that's totally them dressed as wizards and rapping!
Meet Rafael A. Perez (RAP), a San Diego real estate agent, who according to YouTube, wanted to get away from 'serious' business commercials. He succeeded with this spot. Give it up for the mumbling bumbling rapping realtor.
It's a proven fact that anything on the internet is true. And that's why I'm so excited about the new Nickelback rap project, "NickelWrapz". Check out Chad Kroeger's video diary.
Okay, I get that we're a rock station, but some beefs can only be settled by a rap battle. Check out Christmas's icons finally decide once and for all, who rules Christmas.
Video-Bombing and Photo-Bombing pretty much mean acting like an idiot behind the people in front of the camera. Check out this little dude mocking his sister's stupid dance moves and awful taste in music.
Don't get me wrong, WalMart is a great company that employees a lot of people and helps people save a lot of money. But what they have their employees doing to get pumped up is absolutely ridiculous. Check out the embarrassing video.
Ever since Tiger Woods got caught banging more porn stars than Chuck Sheen, nobody has given 2 craps about golf. But the young up and comers of the sport are trying to change that, and they made a rap video to make some noise.
Well, he may not be the world's fastest rapper but damn this dude can rap fast. I'm not even a fan of rap music, yet very impressed!

A great hostel by it's own right, capturing the great atmosphere of the renown Flying Pig legacy from Amsterdam, it also provides a great point to venture from to travel around south-western Netherlands via public transportation or just savor the beautiful countryside of the local area (including the famous flower fields between Haarlem and Leiden). Awesome staff and atmosphere, helpful and fun. Very much recommended in general and especially for those who want to see more than just Amsterdam.

Overall, a very good hostel experience.. The staff was spirit-lifting and helpful, and the atmosphere in the main shared area\bar was quite great, even though I could personally do without the over-stringency regarding smoking inside the confines of the hostel.. The value for money is reasonable, even the the 'basic' breakfast is less fulfilling compared with Stayokay's breakfast.

Old Testament
New Testament
The King James Version of the Bible, KJV, or Authorized Version, is an English translation of the Christian Bible by the Church of England in 1611. Printed by the King's Printer, this was the third official translation into English. In January 1604, King James I of England met at a Hampton Court Conference chose to begin a new English Bible translation in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations.
James directed the translators to ensure the new version conformed to certain high standards. The translation was completed by 47 scholars. In common with most other translations of the period, the New Testament was translated from Greek, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew text, while the Apocrypha were translated from the Greek and Latin. In the Book of Common Prayer (1662), the text of the Authorized Version replaced the text of the Great Bible – for Epistle and Gospel readings – and as such was authorized by Act of Parliament. By the first half of the 18th century, the Authorized Version became the primary English translation used in Anglican and Protestant churches. Through the 18th century, the Authorized Version replaced the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture among English speaking scholars.
The "King James Only movement" is a group that advocates the superiority of the Authorized King James Version (KJV) among English Bibles. Christians in conservative, fundamentalist churches are often being taught that King James is the truest and most accurate English translation in existence today. The King James Version of the Bible is said to be one of the most published books in world history and has transcended many generations, united, and has impacted cultures world wide.

and attaching one of the papers (it's like, 7 pages, and about Sineating, so I doubt anyone'll be interested)
All poems are titled by the first line because I am shit at making titles for whatever reason.
I am twelve
with frizzy hair and stick-legs
and red-rimmed glasses that eat my face.
I am sun-kissed and free
in the lake of dreams and boys
and mud and secrets.
We are there - all four of us.
Together for May September,
like always,
even though it makes the rest unbearable.
Flat-footed, she and I would plod along those streets
like tramps with no money,
but an endless supply of cream soda and candy cigarettes.
Our feet would bake on the black-top
but we walked it anyway,
lifting our silent salutes to passersby
and nodding solemnly, as though we were a
funeral procession of two.
How could we have known?
I missed the procession of the first,
although I carry his face in the
corners of my heart
I am a terrible mourner because
I missed the procession of the second,
though he's in there somewhere, too,
keeping the first company, I suppose.
Maybe they wait for us,
maybe they don't.
I imagine they're stuck in May September
like we are.
I never liked cream soda, anyway.
It is just she and I left, again,
strangers with smiling faces,
though there is nothing to smile about
and all that's left of the lake are
I don't believe in this madness,
I won't buy into this crisis of
Sun, Moon, and Earth;
This tearless mess we've created
and born into the world.
Before, I wept without knowing,
without understanding.
Now I am complacently numb,
having laid my blanket of tears
at the feet of many.
These brittle bones are empty now,
the flames I once kept have turned to
ash and I am a
slowly-dying ember;
back to the earth with an
open body pleading to the Sun.
3: (this one's about New Orleans)
I feel a great loss,
mourning a culture
that was never mine.
I haunt it anyway, as though it lost me.
I wonder if it grieves because I am gone.
I like to think she weeps for me,
though she doesn't, I know,
and yet I am still her dutiful specter,
roaming her streets in search of my former self
which never was
and never will be.
I am an imposter,
an anonymous voice that cries
into her open arms,
before she sees
I am not her own.
And yet she holds me just the same
and keeps me
in that soft, warm place between
where I was and
where I will go.
oh! this city
this city that keeps me
and lets me loose
this city that lets me
live and die
and continue this strange
give and take with its mother
oh how she lets me leave
only to come back
when I have lost myself
I feel a great loss,
mourning this culture
that was never mine.
Find strength and joy
in this womb that has created
both life and death.
Revel in this body
whose curves and planes
have brought nothing but grief.
Find solace and comfort
in this knowledge with which
you are powerless to use,
for you have eaten at the tree.
Embrace the bare
bones of the new goddess
for these daughters of Eve,
these unwitting martyrs,
repay that debt.
We are the eaters of Sin.
You'll leave me,
like you left me before.
When the dew was still warm
against your skin and
Your face was flush and reaching
for the sun.
And I'll accept what you say,
or don't say,
with such quiet conceit
you'll think I'm ok.
And I am.
You will come back to me,
in that silly, childish way you do;
eyes twinkling for forgiveness,
with a mouth that smirks
as if to say,
"Here we go again."

I am 21yrs .. I have saddle shape nose . And i am planning for my rhynoplasty.. I do not want my ribs to get operated for taking the cartilage for uplifting my nose , so my doctor has suggested me for medpore ..I am planning to get it done with medpore only .. Is it fine ? Are there any complications in this??
Foreign Material is Good for Rhinoplasty? Worried About Implant
Doctor Answers 7
Material for rhinoplasty
A medipore implant is a very poor choice for nasal augmentation due to the high occurrence of infection. The best material is always going to be the patient's own nasal cartilage or ear cartilage. If their nose and ears have been cartilage depleted, then augmentation with a silastic implant should be considered.

Foreign Material is Good for Rhinoplasty? Worried About Implant
You will get varied opinions on what material Rhinoplasty Surgeons prefer for dorsal implants. I prefer straight silastic dorsal implants over rib cartilage/bone, medpore or Goretex. IMHO the latter have a tendency to get infected. In my 20 plus years performing Rhinoplasty, I have found septal cartilage rarely long enough to build up the entire dorsum.
Learn more: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Every implant material has pros and cons. Your own cartilage leaves you with a donor site and it can warp once place in its new home. That warping can occur even decades later. Silicone has memory and is not incorporated so it can pop out, shift or get infected. Medpore gets incorporated in most cases so it will not shift or get infected but it is harder to remove if you do not like it and if it is not preheated to mold exactly to the bone contour it can rock in position.
I have used all of the above and patients make their decision based on which pros and cons they can live with. I personally like medpore for the bridge but it can be problematic in other areas of the nose or if it is not preheated and shaped.
I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Medpor for Saddle Nose
Some surgeons use synthetic material to augment a saddle nose, but i prefer to use the patient's own cartilage from the septum, the ears, or the ribs. Synthetics are easier to use, but there is increased risk of movement or infection after surgery.
Medpor implant
Medpor is FDA approved and many surgeons report good results with it. Regardless of whether you use synthetics or never use them, the fact is that they have a higher risk of infection and need for removal then your own cartilage. You are only 21 and you will carry this risk throughout your life. If you have not had any previous surgery it's likely that you would have enough cartilage in your nasal septum to use for grafts unless you have had a severe and gross traumatic deformity.

Rhinoplasty for Saddle Shaped Nose
Generally, I prefer to use your own cartilage (from septum, ear, or rib) to avoid the complications I have seen in patients who have had synthetic materials used. Please make sure you consult with a board certified specialist in rhinoplasty before you proceed .

FIRST PLEASE NOTE an am doing what I'm told by my PS. I see so many moms who have FULL TT jump into cleaning house. I had FULL TT/BL/BA no lipo. I was told no vacuuming ect. ok I understand. But he said if I see something on the ground LEAVE IT!! I just want to understand why? I am at 13 days Post op. drains out day 6 and I feel good just tire easy. And there was a day of coughing OUCH!But no bending at the waist, hips ect to pickup say a washrag I droped? WHY? can you explain for me and others?
Why No Bending over After TT?
Doctor Answers 5
Tummy Tuck Recovery?
I am not sure why your plastic surgeon has advised you not to bend over; it is probably related to concerns for your comfort. I actually asked my patients to stay bent to some degree ( often with the help of a walker). This position ( as opposed to fully straight) helps to keep tension off the incision line.
I would suggest that you ask your plastic surgeon the rationale behind his Instructions.
Best wishes.

Why no bending over after tummy tuck?
Good question. I see no problem bending over, I donot want mypatients to bend over backwards this would place more tension on the suture line. I would suggest lowering yourself to pick up things from the floor, it's easier.
Position after tummy tuck
All plastic surgeons differ slightly in regards to post-operative care/instruction. For my patients, they are instructed to avoid any heavy lifting (over 10lbs) or straining. They are also asked to bend at their waist for 7-14 days. Unless you are bending to lift a heavy object, I don't see a reason why you cannot bend over. It is best to ask your plastic surgeon.

Bending after Tummy Tuck
The best answer I can give you is to ask your surgeon the reason. Only he or she knows exactly the specifics of what your surgery was and the reasons for your post-op instructions. In general most patients right after a tummy tuck are too sore and stiff to bend over but I tell my patients that if it doesn't hurt, they can do it--whether it is bending over or reaching or lifting or whatever they want. And gradually they are able to increase their activity level. But not all patients recuperate at the same rate and it sounds like you are doing exceptionally well so check with your surgeon about what is best for your recuperation.
No bending over
I would have to say your plastic surgeon wants you to be careful and to limit your activities at home. Once patients start to feel good they have a tendency to do too much and there are certain movements that could cause pain or potentially hurt some the the work that was done at surgery.
A set back during the recovery phase is truly a set back and most of my patients have a definite time frame for having the surgery and getting back to work or tending to their house and family and a set back will certainly adversely affect that.
You will have to ask your plastic surgeon to be sure. Good luck, it sounds as though you are doing just fine.

October 29, 2015
HM Courts & Tribunals Service has taken the decision to create 11 divorce centres within England and Wales, with the vast majority of uncontested decree nisi applications being considered by Legal Advisers (rather than District Judges) at those centres.
The reasons for this is to reduce processing delays and inconsistency. The aim is that the centres will improve services, release efficiencies of scale and minimise the possibility of fraud.
The divorce centre for London and the South East is based in Bury St Edmunds.
October 19, 2015
MWP Solicitors has again received Lexcel's accredited mark for excellence in legal practice and client care.
The assessment took place on 19 October 2015. The Assessor Mr Johnson said 'the Practice maintains a Central Register of Client Feedback, inspection of which reveals very high satisfaction levels and likelihood that the client will recommend the Practice to others. Moreover, no complaints were recorded this year'.
He also said 'auditing of files consistently shows that they are very well run, and with key information captured on File Opening Sheets and Checklists'.
April 10, 2014
April 2014 will see the establishment of the single Family Court. This is the largest family justice reform for a generation; its aim is to put children at the heart of the system. For the first time, family procedures within the Magistrates' and County Courts will be brought under one national Family Court, for England and Wales.
The current family justice system experiences excessive delays, with care and supervision cases taking on average 56 weeks. These delays were a potential harm to the children's chances of finding permanent homes and also causing distress. The Family Court acting as a single entity will reduce the unnecessary delays of cases being transferred to different jurisdictions.
The single jurisdiction will create a much simpler system. It will also be easier for the people using the Court. Court users will now submit their applications to the Family Court and it will then be allocated to the right level Judge in the most suitable location.
Changes in the Children and Families Act will affect both public and private law proceedings.
Public Law changes intend to help cut down the time taken on care and supervision cases by introducing a 26 week time limit.
Private Law changes aim to resolve more family disputes outside of the court. The law will encourage people to consider mediation before litigation, unless exempt for special reasons. Along with less conflict, mediation also saves time and costs.

This coming Saturday (Dec. 21) marks one of the four major way stations on the Earth's annual journey around the sun.
Because of the tilt in the Earth's axis of rotation, the sun appears to rise and fall in our sky over the course of a year. It's not the sun itself moving, but the Earth moving relative to the sun.
The Earth's axis currently points in a northerly direction close to the second-magnitude star Polaris, also known as the Pole Star. Everything in the sky, including the sun, appears to revolve around this almost fixed point in the sky. [Season to Season: Earth's Equinoxes & Solstices (Infographic)]
Winter Wonderland Photos
Because the Earth's axis points to Polaris no matter where Earth happens to be in its orbit, the sun appears to move over the year from 23.5 degrees north of the celestial equator on June 21 to 23.5 degrees south of the celestial equator on Dec. 21.
The sun crosses the equator travelling northward around March 21 and going southward on Sept. 21, in celestial events known as "equinoxes" (from the Latin for "equal night," as day and night are of roughly equivalent length on these dates.) The exact dates vary a little bit from year to year because of leap years.
On Dec. 21, the sun stops moving southward, pauses, and then starts moving northward. This pause is called the "solstice," from the Latin words "sol" for "sun" and "sisto" for "stop." Similarly, on June 21 the sun stops moving northward and starts moving southward.
These four dates have been extremely important to humanity since we first started to grow crops 10,000 years ago. Our ancestors have built amazing structures over the millennia to track these important landmarks. For example, Stonehenge in England was built as an astronomical observatory, its stones precisely oriented to detect the extremes of the sun's movement.
Our calendar is based on the dates of the equinoxes and solstices, though errors over the years have caused the calendar to shift by 10 days from the celestial dates. Many cultures in the world use the winter solstice to mark the beginning of the year. The other three dates neatly divide the year into quarters, or seasons.
The chart above shows what the sky would look like this coming Saturday at precisely 12:11 p.m. EST (1711 GMT), if somehow the sun's light could be dimmed so that you could see the background stars. The sun is traveling from right to left along the green line, called the "ecliptic" because eclipses happen along it. The sun is as far south as it can get at that instant, and begins moving northward immediately.
PHOTO: Cute Critters Captured in Winter
The celestial equator is marked by the red line, far to the north of the sun's position. You can see the inner planets gathered around the sun. Venus, off to the left, is moving toward the right, and will pass between us and the sun on Jan. 11. Mercury, to the right, is moving to the left and will pass behind the sun on Dec. 29. Pluto is on the far side of the sun and will pass behind it on Jan. 1.
Notice the Milky Way crossing diagonally through the chart. That's because our solar system is not oriented in any particular way relative to the plane of the Milky Way. The center of the Milky Way is almost directly below the sun's position on Dec. 21, something that was made much of last year. As astronomers pointed out repeatedly then, the sun passes in front of the Milky Way's center every year, not just in 2012. Because the Milky Way's center is so far away, 27,000 light-years distant, it has no measurable effect on the Earth.
For some odd reason, the winter solstice has come to be known as "the first day of winter" while the summer solstice continues to be called correctly "midsummer's day." Although Dec. 21 gets less sunshine than any other day in the year in the Northern Hemisphere, it is far from the coldest day of the year, because the weather always lags a month or two behind the exact calendar dates.

Forty years ago this week, the crew of Apollo 16 captured this image of Earth rising above the lunar landscape. The Apollo missions enabled humanity to see for the first time our planet as it appears from space. As Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell once said: "When I was orbiting the moon and could put my thumb up to the window and completely cover the Earth, I felt a real sense of my own insignificance. Everything I'd ever known could be hidden behind my thumb." As we approach Earth Day on April 22, we look at the efforts of people throughout the ages to explore, understand and portray our world and its place in the Universe.
Babylonia Believed to be the earliest known representation of Earth, this stone tablet from Babylon shows the world as a disc, surrounded by a ring of water called the "Bitter River." The world is dominated by the area surrounding Babylon itself, and the Euphrates River bisects most of the inner circle. Unearthed in southern Iraq in the late 1800s, the tablet is housed in the British Museum.
Celestial Spheres In his 2nd century treatise, the "Almagest," Claudius Ptolemy proposed an explanation for the apparent movement of stars and planets, in which Earth was central and immovable, and surrounded by, at progressively greater distances, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and a sphere of 'fixed stars.' This geocentric view of the cosmos did not meet its first real challenge until Copernicus proposed that the planets revolved around the Sun, and Galileo used his telescope to observe the phases of Venus.
Flat Earth The Greek philosopher Aristotle determined that Earth was spherical and not flat almost 2,500 years ago. The notion of a flat earth retained at least a few die-hard devotees for a surprisingly long time. For example, this 1893 map by Orlando Ferguson, recently acquired by the Library of Congress, cites "Scripture that condemns the globe theory" and promotes a book that "knocks the globe theory clean out."
ANALYSIS: What if Earth Were a Cube?
Lenox Globe It is popularly believed that ancient cartographers filled in unknown and unexplored areas of the world with the phrase 'Here be dragons'. In fact, only one known ancient map – the so-called Lenox Globe, which is believed to date to around 1510 - displays the phrase 'HC SVNT DRACONES', from the Latin "hic sunt dracones." (The phrase is written near the equator on the eastern cost of Asia.) Some nineteenth-century writers, however, believed that it referred, not to dragons, but to the 'Dagroians', a people who "feasted upon the dead and picked their bones."
PHOTOS: Sea Monsters Real & Imagined
Terra Australis Incognita In this copy of a 1602 map that was created on behalf of China's Wanli emperor by Italian Matteo Ricci and collaborators, the familiar outlines of most of the world's continents are coming into shape, although obviously many details remain unfinished. To the map's makers, however, the likes of Australia, New Zealand and Antarctica are not even figments of the imagination, replaced instead by an enormous southern landmass. The notion of an unknown southern land – a terra australis incognita - was first mooted by Aristotle in 322 BCE; not until 1820 did Fabian von Bellingshausen become the first man to see the Antarctic continent.
South Pole For centuries, gaps in maps were filled by explorers who set out across land and sea, often at immense personal risk. The true nature of "Terra Australis" had long been established by the time Robert Falcon Scott and comrades stood at the South Pole on Jan. 17, 1912; but existing knowledge could not diminish the terrible toll the conditions exacted on the men. "Great God!" wrote Scott in his journal, "this is an awful place." All five members of Scott's polar team died before they could reach their base camp.

Moscow at night Time and technology have enabled us to explore, not just across the surface of the globe or even beneath its waves, but from on high. Here, Moscow is seen at night from the International Space Station, flying at an altitude of approximately 240 miles on March 28, 2012. A solar array panel for the space station is on the left side of the frame. The Aurora Borealis, airglow and daybreak frame the horizon.
Pale Blue Dot In contrast to earlier suppositions about our place in the firmaments, we know now that our globe is not at the center of the cosmos, and that other celestial bodies are not attached to interlaced spheres that rotate around us. We are but one world among many, in one solar system among many, in one galaxy among many. In this image, taken by the Voyager I spacecraft from a distance of 4 billion miles, Earth is but a speck – a pale blue dot – in the cosmic night.
Blue Marble If satellite images of Earth now seem almost routine, they never lose their ability to enthrall. This picture of the western hemisphere was captured on January 25 by NASA's latest Earth observation satellite, Suomi NPP. By February 1, it had registered over 3 million views on Flickr – testament to the beauty and fascination of our Blue Marble.

Johnny_Jon_117 posted...Having read that article I can say that I'm a little surprised that 343i did that but in the end of the day it's better to do something different than to do the same thing. 343i didn't wanted to be in Bungie's shadow and wanted to make their own halo stand out and it did. Hopefully they will really improve when halo 5 comes out on the new xbox.
I'd like to think that one of the reasons why they put all the big changes was because they REALLY wanted to make their own version of halo. There are some bad elements in the game and trust me when I say this I was surprised in a bad way when I read that article. I think it's completely weird to hire programmers who don't even like halo but like my last post it's better to try to make a different iteration than to make the same. The complaints would've been "it's the same game" kinda like the complaints call of duty be getting. Like I said 343i really, really has to improve and has to carefully listen to what the fans are saying because if something like this happen to halo 5 we might not even make it to halo 6.
Every game is overrated because the Internet hates everything and wants anything that's going up to go down. Like a true villain.
Reminds me of when Mel Gibson got Homer Simpsons help to "fix" his movie

Well, Goldeneye was a good game with a some-what fun multiplayer but the controls sucked balls & it wasn't really a console-seller like HALO:CE was. I never played the campaign because at the time Goldeneye came out in '97 I was busy playing Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, & Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. On top of the fact that I never owned Goldeneye, the only time I played it was at my friend's house & that was a rare occasion since if we weren't playing Goldeneye he was playing FFVII & I was outside playing Baseball.
Either way, Goldeneye was good but not great like HALO:CE was & the way I see it my comparison between the progression of both RE & HALO still stands.

Seriously people if you hate halo 4 and 343i that much STOP TALKING ABOUT IT OR THEM find a new hobby, yall are the most whiny negative kids on this site. Yes the whole site get off bungies d***, they started taking the "skill out of halo" the minute they introduced AAs like the jet pack and armour lock. Not to mention they did load outs first as well.
Antagonizing people? Do you read the s*** thats comes from some of these people? OP is one of the many trolls who every post bashes this game and 343i while completely trolling anyone who wants to come here and like this game. Hence my sig, you cant post one positive thing about this game on this ridiculous site with out the same group of little kids circle jerking each other making you want to rage.
Not to mention most of them accuse 343 of taking the skill out of halo as if bungie did not.
I troll the trolls...
You to can post positive things about this game if you want. Everyone has their own opinion. But if you post things that are factually wrong, expect to be called on it. Like saying the AR takes more skill than the precision weapons. Or saying that power weapons guarantee victory. Or saying that there isn't anything suspect about this game's population falling so quickly.

And the AR hardly takes skill is the ironic part. Its fixed aim, making it the easiest weapon to handle.
I run through 20 foes a game with it; more times than a precision weapon. If you think the AR takes skill, then you must've NEVER played battlefield 3
It's funny how so many immature imbeciles on here try hard hating me. You think I care, yet I don't.
Try harder kid. You amuse me :)

Ar takes more skill than the Dmr unless of course your inside shotgun range. Does the Ar have red reticle aim assist that reaches across maps or bullet magnesium that auto head shots at times when your clearly aiming at the chest? Exactly.
I troll the trolls...
You have to consider more than just your effective range with the weapon to determine how much skill it takes.
Do you have to aim for the head with the AR? No. You aim center mass, which is significantly easier. Do you have to strafe to avoid getting headshotted if your opponent has an AR? No. Strafe or not, you get hit the same due to the AR's high spread and rate of fire. If your opponent has an AR, do you have to stick to cover when crossing the map? No, because he can't hit you.
Precision vs precision takes far more skill than AR vs AR.

I had a full thickness skin graft measuring just over 1 cm wide on my nose one month ago after basal cell carcinoma removal. At first the graft appeared level with the surrounding skin but now I'm noticing a significant concaveness ( about 1 mm) in the graft site. The graft starts at the centerline of my nose and then down the right side. Is it likely to improve or level out any with time? If not, is there anything that can be done to lessen the indentation?
Mohs Skin Graft on my Nose Appears to Be Healing with a Significant Indentation/depression - Will It Improve?
Doctor Answers 11
Tincture of time and possibly laser can improve skin graft appearance
Full thickness skin grafts are a common method of repairing surgical defects after Mohs surgery. They definitely improve aeshetically with time, with most grafts continuing to mature for 6-24 months. However, at our center, we treat many of these grafts (and other surgical scars) with fractional resurfacing lasers. This greatly improves both the color and texture of the graft scar. Laser treatment can be initiated wihtin a month after the surgical procedure.
Mohs and skin graft on nose
It is still very early in your healing stages and can take 6-12 months for full results from the graft to show. I wouldn't worry at this point, nor would I try to do anything to resolve any concaveness. Some of it may fix itself, and if it is still concave after 6 months, options can be discussed at that point. Always if you have concerns, you should see the surgeon, and I'm sure you have follow-ups scheduled with him/her coming up. Never be afraid to ask questions and seek advice from the surgeon, as in that specific area, more tissue may have been taken underneath, the graft may not have survived entirely under it, or other causes for the concaveness. But give it some time before you seek alterations.
Depressed area to graft after skin cancer surgery #mohssurgery
I do several hundred closures a year for Mohs surgeons locally. I use grafts a lot and I also use flaps a lot. Only the surgeon can determine what is best for you. When I use a graft I will often allow the wound to heal from the bottom up for a few weeks then graft them. The problem with a graft right away is what you describe, but it is early and I have seen the tissue beneath the graft fill in with time. One month is very early so you need to give this 6-12 months. Keep communicating with your surgeon and give it time. I never make promises like it will fill in over time, however things can be done to grafts such as dermabrasion to make them better down the road.

Surgical scar healing
I agree with the other physicians who have said that you are still early in the healing process at one month. From your description, it sounds as if the graft has contracted, which is a normal part of healing. The other factor to consider is that a portion of the underside of the graft may not have survived and thus sunken down compared to the surrounding tissue. This is a limitation of skin grafts.
I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon. There are many things which can be done to improve the appearance of the scar once you have healed. Options would run from injections, dermabrasion, to surgical scar revision. Be sure to discuss all of these with you surgeon.
Dr S
Depressed Area to Graft after Skin Cancer Surgery
Generally, it takes 6-12 months to get the final cosmetic result after surgery so there may be some improvement with time. Grafts do well in some cases to reconstruct the surface; flaps may be preferred if the defect is deep because flaps reconstruct depth as well as surface. Your best option is to discuss your concern with the doctor who performed the repair. Sometimes scarabrasion (a.k.a dermabrasion) may improve the final appearance and make the surfaces more level. Good luck.

Mohs and Skin Graft Healing
Hi, one month is still fairly soon after the procedure. I would recommend following up with your Mohs surgeon in a few months to check in on how the healing is going. There are plenty if ways to improve the appearance of the graft down the line.
Post Skin Graft Indentation
Thank you for your question. It can take months for a fully mature scar to form after surgery, and many times early depressions are improved with time. Typically, it is advised to not fully judge a scar as a permanent result until it has time to evolve into a mature scar (typically after 6-12 mo. of healing). In cases that do result in an unwanted scar or a depression, scar revision surgery may be considered. I hope this helps.
STILL AMAZED byVillar
A thick split thickness skin-graft contracts better than a full thickness skin graft. The graft is sutured with a running suture biting the deep skin edge to hold the graft down on the bottom of the wound. A small puncture is made in the graft to allow drainage. The graft is now in a deep hole. A cotton ball the size of the hole is soaked in clindamycin/gentamycin solution and pushed into the hole over a small patch of xeroform gauze to keep the graft down. The nose is wiped clear of oils and a steri-strip is glued over the cotton stent. At first the graft is depressed. Then, over a few weeks and months it contracts and the hole fills. For some unknown reason, the wound levels off flat with the surrounding tissue in most cases. This is not the case in other parts of the face and body. The nose is special. We have high success with this technique and every time it happens I am still amazed after 30 years of using this technique. Best wishes. Knowledge is power. Luis F. Villar MD FACS
There are often better choices for nasal Mohs surgery repair than skin grafts
Skin grafts are a good option for repairing skin removed due to cancer on the nose. In general, however, they are not the best match possible for color, texture, pore size, and tissue thickness. In almost every case, local flap repair of the nose yields a better result.
Since you have already had the skin graft, continue to follow your doctor's advice and see how the final result is at 9-12 months. If you are still not satisfied, consult with a facial plastic surgeon very experienced with flap repair to consider cutting out the skin graft and replacing it with a flap.
Healing after skin grafts to the nose
Thanks for your question.
Skin grafting is one of many options on the reconstructive ladder to fix defects of the nose. The best areas of the nose that heal with skin grafts are the areas with thin and less sebaceous skin. Sometimes, it is ideal to wait a 2-3 weeks for the wound to fill in from bottom up (by granulation) and then place a skin graft. This allows for better contour matches of the skin graft
It is still very early to make a decision about the final result of your skin graft. I tell most of my patients to hold out on making any decisions about revision surgery until 9-12 months have passed. There are times when the tissue can fill in under the skin graft to give it a better contour match.
Best of luck,
Sachin Parikh MD

Warner Bros buys popular film review website Rotten Tomatoes
Hollywood studio Warner Bros has acquired social film service Flixster which owns the popular movie review website Rotten Tomatoes.
The studio acquired Flixster for an undisclosed fee as part of an overall plan to expand its âdigital content ownershipâ.
The quite obvious conflict of interest in a major film studio owning one of the most popular review sites on the internet has unsurprisingly not been missed by most Twitter users.
Both âRotten Tomatoesâ and âWarner Brosâ were trending on the social-networking website on Wednesday.
Film Junk posted: âWarner Brothers buys Rotten Tomatoes, one of the biggest movie review sites on the internet. Nope, definitely not a conflict of interest.â
Lord_Voldemort7, an account pretending to belong to the fictional Harry Potter villain, added: âWarner Brothers owning Rotten Tomatoes is like when I took over Hogwarts, a seamless takeover which won't have any effect on how it's run.â
zolmaster, meanwhile, posted: 'Rotten Tomatoes bought out by Warner Bros. Watch their movie review scores suddenly get a lot higher.'
Confirming the acquisition of Flixster, Warner Bros Home Entertainment Group president Kevin Tsujihara said: âDriving the growth of digital ownership is a central, strategic focus for Warner Bros.
âThe acquisition of Flixster will allow us to advance that strategy and promote initiatives that will help grow digital ownership.â
Rotten Tomatoes was sold to Flixster last January by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

The autumn slowdown in U.S. corn exports and spillover losses from the soybean market depressed corn futures moderately Wednesday morning. The losses accelerated soon thereafter, when a Memphis-based consulting company released their updated forecasts for U.S. crop plantings for the 2012-13 crop year. They boosted their estimate of next year's corn plantings to 99 million acres, thereby implying a huge domestic crop if normal weather conditions hold next year. The resulting drop sparked a nearby futures test of chart support just above the psychologically important $7.00/bushel level. Strong buying seemingly emerged in that area, but the course of recent events makes us wonder if the spring contracts will eventually fill the chart gap created as prices leapt higher around Independence Day. March corn ended the day 13 cents to $7.07/bushel, whereas the December 2013 contract fell just 5 1/2 cents to $6.17 1/2.
Having China cancel previously contracted purchases of 300,000 tonnes of soybeans Tuesday morning obviously did a number on CBOT soybean prices later in the day. And after showing signs of firmness in overnight activity, the decline resumed Wednesday morning. The downward momentum was apparently quite substantial, since news that a Memphis-based consulting company had lowered its forecast of 2013 U.S. soybean acreage by about 1.1 million acres did little to support the market. CBOT traders seemingly concentrated on the fact that the private forecast would still set a record for domestic soy plantings. January beans essentially duplicated the preceding drop by diving 28 cents to $14.38/bushel, while January soyoil fell 0.67 to 48.50 cents/pound and January meal slumped an additional $8.4 to $437.2/ton.
Tuesday night talk that Egypt would enter the international wheat markets as a major buyer was borne out by midmorning. The fact that they bought 180,000 tonnes of U.S. soft red winter wheat, as well as news of a large private sale to the big African nation, sent American wheat futures sharply higher. However, bulls proved unable to sustain the move. In general, futures markets unable to build upon such positive news are often seen as being vulnerable to a larger reversal. That may be one reason futures continued sliding despite news that a Memphis-based consulting company reduced its estimate of recent winter wheat plantings by approximately 300,000 acres. Traders may also have been anticipating a larger downward revision. One has to wonder if the wheat market is now vulnerable to a resumption of the drop suffered last week. March CBOT wheat settled 5 1/2 cents lower at $8.05 3/4 per bushel, while March KCBT fell 3 cents to $8.58 and March MGE futures dropped 7 cents to $8.95 1/2 per bushel.
After proving surprisingly weak Tuesday, possibly due to the sizeable drop posted by choice beef values, nearby live cattle futures underwent a fresh resurgence Wednesday morning. That buying probably marked the industry response to wire service surveys published ahead of the Friday afternoon (12/21) USDA Cattle on Feed report, which is expected to state November feedlot placements approximately 9% below the comparable 2011 rate. Forecasts for the December 1 U.S. feedlot population, at just 93.4% of last year, also imply a 10-year low for that figure. These forecasts reemphasize the growing tightness of the domestic fed cattle supply. Conversely, having choice beef prices continually prove unable to mount a serious challenge of the $2.00/pound level raises persistent questions about the strength of beef demand at current levels. Still, recent events certainly seem to favor bullish interests. February live cattle futures jumped 1.30 cents to 134.25 cents/pound and April added 0.85 cents to 137.97.
News of cash hog strength and spillover support from the cattle market seemed to boost CME swine values Wednesday. One also has to wonder if news that Canadian packers will honor Russia's request to monitor their product for the growth promotant ractopamine supported prices as well. That might be seen as a negative for the U.S. market, since domestic sources have not agreed to Russia's terms, but reduced ractopamine use would probably reduce North American pork production. Bulls may also be thinking the snowstorm looming over Iowa and surrounding areas will disrupt transportation and at least partially support prices over the short run. February hogs surged 1.30 cents to 86.55 cents/pound this morning, while those anticipating the usual summer peak pushed June futures 0.60 cents higher to 100.60.

A KNUTSFORD church is marking the historic day when everything changed for Christianity in England.
Brook Street Chapel will be remembering the sacrifices made by around 2,000 clergy who left the Church of England 350 years ago when they were forced to follow their conscience.
An ultimatum was made in 1662 when the Act of Uniformity went through Parliament to create stability after civil war.
Ministers had to conduct prayers and ceremonies in strict adherence with the Book of Common Prayer or leave the State Church.
The 'Great Ejection' then followed on August 24, St Bartholomew's Day, when many dissenters faced hardship.
"They would have been living in houses belonging to the State Church," said the Rev Jean Bradley.
"Many were left homeless and penniless with no prospect of employment.
"The clergy were not allowed to continue with their ministry, and could not live within five miles of their previous ministry.
"If a private individual was found to have endorsed worship between a minister and more than five family members, the punishment would range between heavy fines, imprisonment and even transportation."
Yet over time new congregations were formed in secret, such as the Methodists and Unitarians.
Jean, a Unitarian minister, said: "It was important to them that every human being should hold a faith at one with their own conscience and intellect.
"I believe that those 2,000 members of the clergy and their followers should be honoured.
"How many of us would be prepared to give up our homes and our employment over a matter of conscience?
"In this 21st century, we enjoy a tremendous amount of freedom – we can say what we want, when we want.
"We don't have to conform to any political or religious point of view.
"It is because those people, 350 years ago, made those protests for us that we can enjoy our freedom today."
In recognition of this anniversary many Anglican clergymen are meeting clergy from dissenting chapels in a spirit of reconciliation.
The day will be remembered in Knutsford with a scarecrow festival, with drama and music depicting life in the 1600s, and everyone is welcome.
Brook Street Chapel would particularly welcome other members of the Knutsford area's clergy to the event, which is taking place at 2pm on Saturday.
