Highly specialized and talented physicians!
Dr. Jeffrey J. Colton MD, and Medical Director of The Colton Center, is double board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology.
Dr. Jones is a Henry Ford Health System board-certified otolaryngologist/head and neck surgeon and Vice-Chair of the department who specializes in facial aesthetics.
See how The Colton Center has changed so many peoples lives!
Dear Dr. Colton: When someone does something special for me I like to say thank you to them in writing. A BIG "THANK YOU" for doing such a wonderful job on my neck and my face! God has given you a great gift and you were smart enough to develop that gift.
Dr. Colton performed a Face Lift and under eye surgery 4 months ago, and I couldn't be happier! My neck looks like it belongs to a 25 year old instead of a 71 year old. My face seems firm but doesn'nt have that "too pulled look" that some surgeons do. I definitely recommend Dr. Jeffrey Colton for any facial plastic surgery!
I first came to see Dr. Colton after I had a botched Blepharoplasty at another physician's facility. I was very much traumatized by my former experience, and was very nervous about "going under the knife" again. Doctor Colton's kind, and gentle demeanor soon had me at ease. He took the time to truly listen to my concerns, and clearly outlined what his course of action was going to be. Everything went beautifully! I get compliments from friends to physicians, with regard to how great my eyes look when I mention that I had corrective work done. I would, and have recommended Dr. Colton to anyone that is interested in his services.

I followed this recipe explicitly except for the sherry. I didn't have any so I used red wine in it's place. The casserole was delicious - the best tuna noodle recipe I have found. I think using the tuna packed in oil makes a wonderful difference in the taste.

This sounds very good. Just wondering if I can use Tuna that is packed in water instead of oil?
Miami, FL
on February 14, 2014
Excellent.. Next time I'll add shrimps instead of tuna, though there's no need to make any changes.
on April 13, 2013
I've tried several tuna casserole recipes and this one is far the best. I like the fact it doesn't use canned condensed soup. I do add about a tbsp of chopped jalapeno peppers (jarred at the end for a bit of kick, otherwise stick to the recipe and it's a good comfort food. There is another version of this on Epicurious.

I don't get it? November 5, 2010
This guy is well endowed but give me a break. I get how most would find the size of this thing tempting but might as well fuck a horse. Typical black guy that has a massive one but can only drip a few drops. Hmmmm, what does that tell you? His cock isn't that strong & possibly impotent. I'm happy with my above average size cock & so have my partners. It gets the job done, & I'd rather pleasure them than hurt them.

truth be told December 22, 2010
Very few women can realistically take a hard pounding if your cock is that big. I'd rather have above average and be able to pound out all the girls I fuck than be hung like a horse and girls screaming bloody murder if you go just an inch too deep. This is such an illusion. Most average women would run if they saw this.

Overview of Reduced Paid-Up Life Insurance
Reduced paid-up life insurance is an option that many people are currently happy they have purchased. Most people opt for this because, for example, it covers the payments on life insurance if they accidentally skip a payment or lose their job, or are somehow otherwise unable to make a payment.
The way that reduced paid-up life insurance works is that the insurance company pays the premium for you but then deducts that amount, or a specified amount -- depending on the contract you make with the insurance company -- from what your beneficiaries will ultimately receive should you pass away.
Find a reduced paid-up life insurance policy. Request a quote here
Benefits of reduced paid up insurance
Interestingly enough the cash value remains the same even when a payment is skipped or not made. Reduced paid-up life insurance is most commonly available for interest sensitive whole life policies and other whole life policies. Whole life policies have premiums that are paid steadily and are characteristically payable for the policyholder's entire life, thus the name "whole life."
For those who are still relatively young, this is a type of insurance that will have substantially lower premiums. It is also possible to receive dividends back from your policy. Thus, it may be a good move to get a whole life policy with a reduced paid-up life insurance option when you're young.
It is important to note that this option can only be exercised at the beginning of the policy, so if you believe that this is a good idea for you and your beneficiaries, then be sure and ask your agent prior to beginning the policy.

If a property owner wants to use or develop his or her land in a manner that is not permitted under the present zoning, a change in the zoning classification of the property is required. This process is called rezoning. A property owner begins by submitting a rezoning application to the Planning Department. The process is not completed until City Council has given Final Adoption to the amending rezoning bylaw.
In Burnaby, there are typically two types of rezoning: Standard Rezoning and Comprehensive Development (CD) Rezoning. While the two processes are basically the same, the CD rezoning process is more involved. Major commercial, institutional, industrial, multi-family residential or mixed-use developments usually require CD rezoning where the specifically approved development plan of the project becomes part of the Zoning Bylaw.
The Rezoning Approval Process
The rezoning process enables Council to thoroughly examine the potential impacts that a change in land use or density may have on the local neighbourhood and on the city at large. By using the professional resources of the City staff and by providing the general public an opportunity to express its view on a proposed change, City Council can ensure that rezoning proceeds in a manner consistent with long-term community goals.
A zoning change can only occur by approval of a Zoning Bylaw Amendment by Council. Council determines whether or not the rezoning bylaw will or will not be approved.
Who is involved in the Rezoning process?
Planning Division coordinates the rezoning process, reviews the application in view of existing policies and provides recommendations to Council on its technical and planning aspects. Another major role that this Division plays is to assist the applicant in satisfying the various requirements of the process. Depending upon the nature of the proposed rezoning, various departments including Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Parks will be asked to provide input to the Planning Division.
Since all rezonings require a public hearing, the members of the general public who believe that their interests are affected by the rezoning are given an opportunity to comment on the proposal at a public hearing before final adoption of the Rezoning Bylaw is given by Council. Adjacent property owners and occupants are notified of the public hearing by mail and advertisements in the local newspapers, then presented at a the scheduled public hearing where a "Suitable Plan of Development" (including an illustrative perspective) is presented for discussion.
What is the Process?
The City of Burnaby has prepared this Rezoning Brochure to assist you in understanding the City's Rezoning procedure. The intent is to provide a straightforward outline of the rezoning process. Upon review of the material, anyone intending to submit a rezoning application is urged to contact the Planning Division of the Planning and Building Department for further information.
Prior to Submitting a Rezoning Application Form Consider the Following:
- Rezoning Approval Guide
- Rezoning Application Procedure and Schedule
- Rezoning Application Form
- Application Fees
- Application Fees - 2015 (effective 2015 February 02)
- Development Cost Charges
- Agent Authorization Form
- Guidelines for rezoning and subdivision on forested sites
- Environmental Review Committee
- Guide to Developing Around Streams
- ERC Guide for Applicants
- Guide to Seeking Third Reading and Final Adoption
- Site Profile (Ministry of Environment):

How Much Time Does the Process Take?
The amount of time to process a rezoning application is largely dependent upon the complexity of the application. The time frame is affected by how well you respond to meeting the prerequisites as established by Council and the Planning Division. On average, a Standard Rezoning takes 4 to 6 months to process once an application has been submitted. A Comprehensive Development Rezoning, being more complex, may take 6 to 10 months. It must be recognized that the process could take longer, again depending upon the intricacies of the application and the developer's own timing.
What are the next steps in the development approval process:
Every development proposal will require additional approvals before development can proceed. You should make note of the following:
In many cases, development proposals will require subdivision approval prior to final adoption of the rezoning bylaw. More information »
Preliminary Plan Approval (PPA)
PPA is required for all multi-family residential, commercial, industrial and institutional developments. An application for PPA can be submitted prior to Final Adoption of the rezoning bylaw, but will not be issued until the bylaw has been adopted.
More information »
Building Permit
A Building Permit is required for the construction of all buildings. More information »
Property Address Change
The owner or applicant must submit this application in person to the Planning Department and provide photo identification to commence processing. If there is more than one owner on title, the Change of Address Authorization Form must be completed and attached to your application. This request for property address change is of a personal preference and fees do apply.
More information?
If you have questions on the Rezoning process, please contact the Planning Department.

According to the advocacy group, SpongeBob Diner Dash violates the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. The game, which is aimed at kids, is an iPhone and iPad app that can be found in the "Kids Games" section of the App Store, and though it claims to comply with COPPA, the CDD says that it does not.
The objective of the game is for children to help SpongeBob "seat, serve, and satisfy all kinds of fishy customers in five colorful Bikini Bottom restaurants," run by the greedy, selfish Mr. Krabs from the show. SpongeBob Diner Dash is a "freemium" game, which can be initially downloaded for free, but is designed to encourage users to buy virtual "coins" that can be spent on items such as shoes that make SpongeBob walk faster, or a frying pan that makes the food cook faster. Children are also prompted to spend more money to buy upgraded versions of the game.The filing, which asks that the Federal Trade Commission investigate how the offending app collects data, comes just a week after the FTC released a report on the privacy practices of apps aimed at children. Following the report, the FTC began a non-public investigation to discover if app developers that produce games for children are violating Federal law.
The SpongeBob Diner Dash game asks children to provide a wide range of personal information, including full name, email address, and other online contact information, without providing notice to parents or obtaining prior parental consent, as required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Nor does the app provide an adequate description of the personal information it collects or how it is used.
SpongeBob Diner Dash and SpongeBob Diner Dash Deluxe, the offending games, have currently been removed from the U.S. App Store.

Standards of Academic Progress
Academic standing is based on the GPA and the number of courses completed each semester. The most common categories are Good Standing, Withdrawal, Probation, and Dismissal.
Good Standing
Good academic standing means that the CGPA is at least 2.00 and the student is completing courses quickly enough to graduate in the maximum time allowed for the major. This maximum time is 150% of the program length. For full-time students this is 7 terms for Electronic and Computer Technology, 12 terms for Accounting, Business Information Systems, and Telecommunications Management, and 13 terms for Computer Information Systems, Electronics Engineering Technology, and Computer and Engineering Technology.
If a student withdraws from all courses by Friday of Week 11, all grades will be Ws, and the standing will be Withdrawal. An official withdrawal procedure must be followed. Withdrawals from individual courses do not result in a Withdrawal standing. They do require a formal procedure that must be completed by Friday of Week 11. See your Academic Advisor.
Probation is a warning to students that they have one semester to resolve their academic problems. Failed courses should be repeated immediately to raise the GPA. Common probation situations are:
- A CGPA below 2.00 in any one term.
- Two consecutive withdrawals from school.
- Two consecutive terms with a TGPA below 2.00.
- One term with a TGPA below 2.00 and a withdrawal from school in the next term.
- A withdrawal from school and a TGPA below 2.00 in the next term.
Students who have been dismissed once must appeal for permission to return to school. Students who have been dismissed twice must also appeal, but such appeals are not granted except in unusual circumstances. These are common situations that result in Dismissal:
- CGPA below 2.00 in two consecutive terms. (After the first term below 2.00 will be Probation.)
- A TGPA below 1.00 in the first term of enrollment at DeVry.
- A grade of W or F in any developmental course or lab (ENGL-030/034 or MATH-090).
- Withdrawing from school while on Probation.
- Not earning passing grades at a rate that will ensure graduation by 150% of the program length.

Hello DIY board.
Working with a contractor on a complete home renovation and have a question.We paid for the kitchen cabinets on 2/28/14 and as of today,4/17/14 ,no cabinets. We're being told that because of weather there have been delays.Does this sound correct? We live on the east coast. I get the impression that this contractor may be using our cash on other projects. Your questions and opinions are very welcome.
Sounds as if you may be correct. There are a couple of possibilities. One being that if they are custom cabinets made by a particular individual it could be delayed on his part for what ever reason. Second being that your contractor might have ordered the cabinets and used your finances for another venture of his and the cabinet maker will not release them until he recieves his payment. Either way I would get to the bottom and find out where the delay is. Contact your contractor and have him to supply you with the cabinet company and followup. Weather has no adverse affect on building cabinets.This message has been edited. Last edited by: redoverfarm,
Well, there have been some serious weather issues on the East Coast that have affected transportation, but those are pretty much over now. Even so, I agree that your contractor's excuse sounds "fishy".
Do you know who the cabinet maker is, and if so, have you contacted him/her/it directly? If not, as Redoverfarm suggests, you might want to demand that your contractor provide the contact information so you can verify the contractor's claim. If he refuses to provide that information, that's not a good sign. And if so, you might want to think about contacting an attorney.
In the meantime, I wouldn't pay him any more money until this is resolved. I would also document every single phone call and/or personal contact with him.
Is the kitchen remodeling the first step in the complete home renovation, or have you had other rooms redone without problems? Is he still performing work on your house?
If you paid for the cabinets by charge card, have you notified your card issuer that there is a nondelivery issue with the cabinets? Depending on when you paid, you may still have recourse under the Fair Credit Billing Act to have your card issuer stop or reverse payment. I'd address this issue immediately.
In the meantime, you might want to check with the Maryland state department that maintains licensing requirements and info on licensed contractors to determine if there are other complaints against your contractor.
Lastly, check with your local circuit or other court of jursidiction to determine if there are any lawsuits against the contractor. Hopefully for your sake there aren't, but it's better to find out now than later in the event this contractor fails to deliver.
Good luck, and I hope you can get some resolution quickly.
Maybe, maybe not. But it doesn't sound quite right.
Cabinets can have a long order time. I know that various brands that I deal with can run from 10 days to 4 months. I don't understand the full payment up front thing though - that is highly unusual (in fact, have never done that). It is common for cabinetry to require a 50% DP to get into production but the second half is only paid upon delivery. How the details all work are a matter ow what cabinet company, how the cabinet distributor works and what kind of financial relationship your contractor has with the cabinet people.
In any event, this could be easily cleared up with a few answers to basic questions:
1. Why did you have to pay in full up front?
2. What was the original delivery date?
3. What is the current delivery date?
While it has been a tough winter any deliveries should not be delayed by more than a few days. Now, if the winter somehow impacted the factor making the stuff, then there is a reasonable excuse for a long delay. Currently you are only looking at a 6 week time frame between order and now - not unusual for production and delivery to take longer than that.
First, did you sign a contract? If so, what does the t&c's state regarding materials, deliveries, completions, timelines and workmanship?
Next, is this a question of the cabinets needing to be made first and then delivered, or just delivered? If the latter, then you have a [real]problem, based on what you posted.
As stated, you need to call a meeting of the minds and get to the heart of the matter. Unless you are legally obligated, you should not pay another dime until you get to the truth.
Good luck and keep us posted,

Stuart Moore Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Creative process: Moore, Storms, Evans on 'EGOs' #5 cover
Beginning n February, writer Stuart Moore and artist Gus Storms embark on a new five-issue EGOs arc, called "Crunched." As noted in Image Comics' solicitations, "The narcissistic super-team of the future returns to battle an invisible threat to the galactic economy." To whet folks appetite for the upcoming arc, Moore, Storms and designer Brett Evans detailed for ROBOT 6 the steps leading up to the final cover design.
Talking Comics with Tim | Neil Kleid on 'Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt'
One of the most memorable Spider-Man storylines of the 1980s remains J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Zeck's "Kraven's Last Hunt," which featured the ultimate battle between Kraven the Hunter and Spider-Man. Now, nearly three decades later, Marvel has enlisted Neil Kleid to author a prose adaptation, Spider-Man: Kraven's Last Hunt.
To mark the novel's release today in comic stores, Kleid talked with me about the nuances of the adaptation. He'll appear today at 6 p.m. for a book signing at JHU Comic Books in New York City.
Moore & Storms on the flawed marriage that feeds 'EGOs'
Two elements of Stuart Moore and Gus Storms' new Image Comics series EGOs make me exceedingly eager to read the first issue: the flawed marriage at the heart of the title (automatic fodder for great drama), and a foe that's a living galaxy.
To get a better understanding of EGOs, which debuts Jan. 15, I pelted the creators with a series of questions. Moore has a grasp of the comics medium (and its unlimited potential) in a manner few others possess, so to say it was a delight to chat with him and Storms is an understatement. How strong is EGOs? As noted in our discussion, it has Saga writer Brian K. Vaughan as its guardian angel. What more needs to be said? Well, I'm a sucker for any series with a broken-down cyborg. I needed to say that.
Stan Lee developing 'Zodiac' illustrated novel for Disney
Disney Publishing Worldwide has acquired Zodiac, an illustrated novel by Stan Lee, Stuart Moore and Andie Tong.
Based on the Chinese zodiac, the book follows a Chinese-American teenager who's drawn into a global conspiracy after he and other youth around the world are suddenly bestowed with magical powers.
Lee already has a relationship with Disney, dating back at least to a 2007 first-look deal with the legendary creator's POW! Entertainment. In 2009, just as Disney completed its purchased of Marvel, the entertainment giant expanded that agreement and acquired a 10 percent equity stake in POW.
NYCC '13 | Dark Horse debuts Moore & Zick's 'Mandala' online
Just ahead of New York Comic Con, Dark Horse has announced Mandala, an upcoming sci-fi graphic novel by Stuart Moore and Bruce Zick. The first chapter is available beginning today on Dark Horse Digital for $2.99.
In Mandala, humanity is secretly enslaved by a mind-control cage galled the GRID, and it's up to Mike Morningstar and his spiritual special-ops unit The Thirteen to alter time and take down the GRID before it's too late.
"Mandala is probably the biggest-scale epic I've ever worked on: a saga of original sin and possible redemption that spans millennia and crosses the timelines" Moore said in a statement. "At its core, it's the story of Michael Morningstar, a guy who — like many of us — has to find his way in a world he doesn't quite understand. The characters' alliances shift constantly, along with the timelines."
The creators will be signing throughout New York Comic Con at the Dark Horse booth (#1175).
Talking Comics with Tim | Jon Proctor on 'Binary'
In 1987, writer Christopher Hinz released Liege-Killer, the first novel in his "Paratwa Trilogy," although longtime comics readers may remember him for his work on the mid-'90s DC Comics/Helix series Gemini Blood. Now, more than 25 years later, Hinz has adapted Liege-Killer for comics, collaborating with artist Jon Proctor on the new graphic novel Binary, published by Ilfeld Comics.
To learn more about the project, I asked Proctor a handful of questions about Binary and working with Hinz.
Tim O'Shea: What was it about Christopher Hinz's script that attracted you to Binary?
Jon Proctor: Binary is a graphic novel adaptation of Christopher's novel Liege-Killer, which was first published in 1987. It went on to win the Compton Crook Award for Best First Novel and earned a nomination for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. It had a cult following for years, and even though I was unaware of the original novel I was familiar with a nine-issue miniseries Christopher did for DC comics short-lived, science fiction and science fantasy imprint called Helix. The comic, titled Gemini Blood, had similar themes to the Binary/Liege-Killer universe. Incidentally, it was also drawn by Tommy Lee Edwards, and I've always been a huge fan of his artwork. Stuart Moore edited the Helix mini, and he and I have been partners in crime for years. He thought I might be a good fit so he approached me with the idea for Binary. Committing to a 125-page full-color book where the entire production sits squarely on my shoulders was a little nerve-wracking, but the script hooked me on the first page. In other words, Christopher is a really talented writer! The science fiction aspect was one thing that attracted me to it but within the layering of the characters was something different and fascinating. For one thing, the idea that the main villain in the book consists of two assassins that share a soul was really something I thought would be great fun as well as a visual challenge to pull off, and it was! The script was just really fresh and the world it portrayed was enormous. I did a few pages as a try out for Christopher and our producer Etan Ilfeld, and thankfully they chose me to do the book.
Amazon opens its Kindle Worlds store and submission platform
Amazon Publishing launched its Kindle Worlds store this morning with more than 50 works, including Shadowman: Salvation Sally by Tom King, X-O Manowar: Noughts and Crosses by Stuart Moore, and Harbinger: Slow Burn by Jason Star, all inspired by the Valiant Entertainment properties. In addition, the Self-Service Submission Platform is now open, allowing writers to publish stories based on certain licensed properties and earn royalties in the process.
Billed as the first commercial publishing platform for fan fiction, Kindle Worlds was announced last month as "a place for you to publish fan fiction inspired by popular books, shows, movies, comics, music, and games."
Valiant signs on to Amazon's new fan-fic publishing platform
When Amazon Publishing unveiled Kindle Worlds last month, one of the first questions in comics circles was which publisher would be the first to sign on to the program, which allows fan-fic writers to earn royalties for certain corporate-approved stories. Now we know the answer: Valiant Entertainment.
The recently revived publisher was announced this morning as part of the second wave of licensors, alongside bestselling authors Hugh Howey (Silo Saga), Barry Eisler (John Rain novels), Blake Crouch (Wayward Pines) and Neal Stephenson (Foreworld Saga). Under the agreement, writers will be able to create and sell stories inspired by Bloodshot, X-O Manowar, Archer & Armstrong, Harbinger and Shadowman, with more properties expected to be added later.
In addition, the Kindle Worlds Store will launch later this month with more than 50 commissioned works, including "Valiant-branded" short stories by Jason Starr, Robert Rodi, Stuart Moore and others. The Kindle Worlds self-service submission platform will open at the same time.
What Are You Reading?
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, where each week we talk about what comics and other stuff have been on our reading piles. To see what the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.
What are you excited about for 2012?
[Note: this post was assembled by both Tim O'Shea and JK Parkin]
This is our final post for our big birthday bash, and what a post it is. No matter how much stuff we line up, people we interview, etc., there are still tons of folks we like to hear from and include in our giant New Year's/anniversary/birthday activities. So, as we have in past years, we have asked various comics folks what they are excited about for 2012 in comics–something they aren't working on and something they are.
There's a lot of great stuff here–hints at new projects and even some downright announcements. Our thanks to everyone this year who responded!
Jason Latour
I'm most anticipating the 30th Anniversary of HEROES CON (June 22-24, Charlotte, NC) . For any convention 30 years is an amazing run, but the fact that Shelton Drum and his extended family have put this show together every year with nothing but blood, sweat and tears is flat out super heroic.
On the personal front, the challenging and exhilarating ride that's been Loose Ends will come to a close with issue 4. It'll be bittersweet to send our child off to into the real world but I can't wait for you guys to see the work Brunner & Renzi are doing.
I'm also super excited to dip my own toes into the Mignola-verse with the BPRD: The Pickens County Horror [March 28, 2012] and to read the end of Jason Aaron & RM Guera's Scalped, which is my favorite series in years.
Jason Latour is a writer/artist, most recently the writer of Loose Ends. He spoke with Tim O'Shea about the miniseries in July.
Patrick Zircher
This sounds politic, but it's genuine: what excites me about comics in 2012 is what's exciting every year, the work of the talent. Seeing what the best are up to and how the up-n-comers have grown as artists and writers. In the new year, I'm also excited about illustrating several books and covers that feature my favorite Avengers.
Patrick Zircher is an artist, who explored the 1920s/1930s era of the Marvel universe in 2011 with the five-issue miniseries, Mystery Men. He spoke with Tim O'Shea about the miniseries in May.
Talking Comics with Tim | Shawn Crystal on The Decoy
Today marks the release of the second installment of the three-part digital-only comic Wolverine & Deadpool: The Decoy written by Stuart Moore and drawn by the focus of this email interview, Shawn Crystal. As noted by Crystal, when teasing the Marvel Digital Comics project last week at his blog: "The story is 22 pages in length, each chapter being around 7 or 8 pages." Once you've finished the interview and are looking for more info about Crystal, you can visit him at Deviant Art, Facebook, Twitter or a site where you can buy his original art.
Tim O'Shea: What can you tell us about your new Deadpool/Wolverine project which started last Wednesday?
Shawn Crystal: Well, it's got Wolverine being a bad a$, Deadpool being a dumb a$, and a giant Robot. What more do you need?
I would like to say that getting to draw Wolverine was AMAZING. He's a childhood favorite of mine, and I had so much fun drawing him. He's such an icon. I had the classic Art Adams Wolverine poster on my wall, all through college. I felt like the kid in me was standing next to my art table watching me saying "DUDE! You're drawing WOLVERINE!!!!!" I had a lot of smiles working on this book. I really hope to get another chance to play with him.
New Act-i-vate strip to benefit Primate Rescue Center
The webcomics collective Act-i-vate has kicked off a new ongoing anthology called Panels for Primates, where various comic creators will create comic strips featuring monkeys, apes and other primates to help raise awareness and, hopefully, money for the Primate Rescue Center in Nicholasville, Ky.
While the stories can be viewed for free, they include a promo at the end encouraging readers to donate money. Per a press release, upcoming stories will "offer an eclectic mix of creators and content, with the only common denominators being high quality and primates." The first story, "Ilya's Back Pages" by Stuart Moore and Rick Geary, is up now. The cover, above, is by Robert Wilson IV.
What Are You Reading?
Hello and welcome once again to What Are You Reading?, where the Robot 6 crew talk about the comics and graphic novels that they've been enjoying lately.
Today's special guest is Ryan K Lindsay, a staff writer for comic news and reviews site The Weekly Crisis. He also runs a comic scripting challenge site called thoughtballoons where each week a character is picked, and every member of the site must write a one-page script about that character. He's also been known to throw a think piece up at Gestalt Mash and is hoping one day to have his many comic pitches drawn by people with pencils.

Talking Comics with Tim | Stuart Moore, Part II
In the first part of my interview with Stuart Moore we covered the editorial phase of his career. In this second part, Moore and I discuss the freelance writing phase, which began in 2002. As part of this discussion, we discuss his plans for the new Namor: The First Mutant (previewed here by CBR and launching this Wednesday, August 25); Spider-Man: Back in Quack (A Howard the Duck-connected one-shot coming out September 15); his creator-owned collaboration with artist Jon Proctor, Shadrach Stone (also coming out on September 15 [Penny Farthing Press]); and his role as co-writer of the six-part JLA/The 99 miniseries (which launches on October 27) .
Tim O'Shea: Was there any one catalyst (or a number of factors) that prompted you to step fully into the freelance world and focus on your own writing in 2002?
Stuart Moore: It just seemed like the right time. I'd worked on a lot of really interesting projects, very fast, at Marvel, and the deal for PARA (at Penny-Farthing Press) came together. I decided if I was ever going to make a go of it as a writer, it should be now.
O'Shea: How did your projects at Penny-Farthing Press (including Para and Zendra) come to pass?
Moore: I first made contact with Penny-Farthing, a long time ago, when I was involved in the startup of a dot-com-style comics company that never fully came together. I really like the people who run Penny-Farthing; they're very straightforward and honest, and they do beautiful production work. ZENDRA was a project created by two artists, and they needed someone to come in, flesh out the basic story, and write the scripts. A couple of years later I pitched PARA to them and they liked it, and that led, more recently, to SHADRACH STONE.
Talking Comics with Tim | Stuart Moore, Part I
Stuart Moore is a writer I've known and interviewed for a number of years. In the past, we've typically focused on near-term/upcoming project discussions in our interviews. But more recently, for nearly a year, he and I have been working on a series of email interviews trying to cover the scope of his career to date. This process started in mid-2009. Moore and I realized earlier this summer it would be best to get this interview finalized on the eve of Namor: The First Mutant 1's release (which comes out from Marvel this Wednesday, August 25) . My thanks to Stuart for his time and patience on this fun and hopefully thorough examination of his work. The first installment of this two-part interview will focus upon his work as an editor. Tomorrow, in our second part, we will focus on his freelance writing. (My thanks also to fellow Robot 6er Tom Bondurant for giving me some feedback on the early stages of this interview and suggesting a question of his own.)
Tim O'Shea: You got your start at St. Martin's Press, back in the mid-1980s, how did you get that job?
Stuart Moore: I graduated from college, not sure of what I wanted to do. Spent the summer in California, then came back east and started looking for a job. Book publishing at that point was very partial to Ivy League graduates — probably still is — so I got the referral through Princeton's career services center. I worked for about 2 ½ years as assistant to a brilliant woman who edited craft guides, child care titles, and etiquette books. It wasn't exactly my field, but to this day I still know that you say "Congratulations" to a groom and "Best wishes" to the bride.

Are Pipelines Safer Than Railroads for Carrying Oil?
July 10th, 2013 | 18
The glut of new oil in North America has been accompanied by a boom in moving that petroleum by train. Railway traffic of crude oil in tankers has more than doubled in volume since 2011—and such transport led to tragedy in the early hours of July 6. At least 13 people were killed in the [...]Keep reading »
Tar Sands No Worse Than Other Oils for Pipeline Spills
June 27th, 2013 | 12
The oil derived from Canada's tar sands is more acidic than other forms of petroleum. So does this mean that diluted bitumen (or "dilbit") is more corrosive when flowing through a pipeline? The answer is no, according to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences' National Research Council. A review of U.S. pipeline ruptures over the [...]Keep reading »

Masha-Allah laa quwwata illah billah!
They turned out delicious masha-Allah. I did, however, use pitted dates (diced) instead, because i didn't like the look of my sultanas.

"Bee Movie" is a comedy that will change everything you think you know about bees. Having just graduated from college, a bee by the name of Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld) finds himself disillusioned with the prospect of having only one career choice—honey. As he ventures outside of the hive for the first time, he breaks one of the cardinal rules of the bee world and talks to a human, a New York City florist named Vanessa (Renée Zellweger). He is shocked to discover that the humans have been stealing and eating the bee's honey for centuries. He ultimately realizes that his true calling in life is to set the world right by suing the human race. That is until the ensuing chaos upsets the very balance of nature. It is up to Barry to prove that even a little bee can spell big changes in the world.
A hit comedy from comic icon Jerry Seinfeld, an ambitious young worker bee Barry B. Benson (Seinfeld) soars out into the world in search of nectar and adventure. But when he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom and speaks to humans, including Vanessa Bloom (voiced by Renée Zellweger), Barry sets off an un-bee-lievable chain of events that proves even a little bee can make a big difference.

What Everybody Ought To Know About The 2012 NBA Playoffs
Now that the Fakers have gone fishin' and only legitimate contenders are left (as soon as Philly gets eliminated) there are a few things you ought to know about the NBA Playoffs leading to and through the Finals.
Quick, who do you know is capable of shutting down 2 of the top 5 scorers in the NBA? It's not Metta World Peace. It's not Dwight Howard. It's not LeBron James.
Russell Westbrook, the NBA's 5th leading scorer (23.6 PPG) has the ability to take Kevin Durant, the NBA's leading scorer (28.0 PPG) out of the game. So many times I find myself yelling at Russell through the screen:
Don't take that...*hits mid-range jumper over center on pick and roll* – Uhmm Good Shot!
The Thunder will go as far as Westbrook lets them go. Westbrook is the definition of volatile. He kept the Thunder afloat during the 3rd quarters of the Laker defeats. If Russell continues to keep his turnovers low and his true shooting percentage above 50% there may be a
stampede parade in Oklahoma City this June.
Russell Westbrook versus Tony Parker will be an interesting matchup. If the refs don't put Westbrook into foul trouble, Parker may have some trouble getting into the lane at will. On the flipside, Parker leads a relatively balanced Spurs attack. If/when OKC advance past San Antonio Westbrook will Daequan (Cook) whatever Eastern Conference foe emerges from the other side of the bracket.
As much as people complain hate on Kobe about the calls he may or may not get, people seem to forget about the clear officiating advantage Dwyane Wade has. (see the two videos below)
Think back a year ago to the Finals. Didn't ya'll say Wade was The Closer? Last 3 minutes of the game this man routinely turned the ball over. But it's all LeBron's fault, right? If you look at reality, like the team over at Chasing23.com did, you'll see that when it comes to LeBron vs. Wade in crunch time, LeBron has been consistently better in the playoffs.
Erik Spoelstra and David Stern, if somehow you end up reading this…please get Wade and the NBA officials back in to 2006 form if you want the Heat to win. We all know 2003 LeBron is not enough to beat the Spurs in the Finals and definitely not enough to beat the Thunder.
Some time last year, ESPN and the media powers that be convinced you Spurs basketball was boring and the Los Angeles Clippers were good. The Clippers have been eliminated and Tony Parker's team got the best of who many consider to be the top PG in the league, Chris Paul. Parker's modest scoring (18.3 PPG) and assist (7.7 APG, 8th in the league) totals don't tell the full story.
Make your list of top point guards, I'll start it off for you with:
- Chris Paul
- Derrick Rose
- Rajon Rondo
If you don't care about winning you can add Deron Williams or Steve Nash (who only plays defense in All-Star games). You have to put Tony Parker on that list. With the exception of the 3 PGs I gave you, no other point guard has created as many postseason wins as Tony Parker. In Jason Kidd fashion, he's developed his range out to the 3pt line. Tony Parker's in between game is immaculate. #pause
He's an extension of Poppovich on the floor. #PauseAgain
I don't know who's going to win the NBA Finals. I had OKC vs. Miami, with Miami winning in 6 before Bosh went out. Now it's looking like OKC in 6.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below!

The resources sector supports strategic land use planning to help provide certainty about future development, minimise land use conflicts and to identify economic, environmental and social opportunities. CME considers governments have a critical role to play – ensuring the rights and responsibilities of key stakeholders, including landholders, explorers and miners are clearly communicated and understood.
Land access arrangements should be built on co-operation, trust and high standards of behaviour. Transparency in land use planning decision-making is an essential enabler for effective relationships around land.
There is a misconception that the existence of one industry – whether it is agriculture, viticulture, mining or exploration – negates the other. Both the agriculture and resources sectors are essential to our economy and there are numerous examples of how mining and other land users coexist for mutual and wider community benefit. Diverse regional economies are vibrant communities that are more resilient to commodity and climate cycles.
CME considers land use decisions should be based on economic, social and environmental evidence on a case-by-case basis. It should not be assumed that particular land uses are incompatible or that one land use is more suitable than another.
There is an opportunity for more effective strategic land use planning to guide land use and land use change in regional Australia. In response to this, CME has developed a principles based preferred model for strategic land use planning. The document can be downloaded by clicking here.
To showcase examples of where the resources sector successfully co-exists with other land users CME has developed a numbers of case studies. This includes:
In recognition of increasing concerns regarding land use conflict and industry consultation, CME has developed a fact sheet outlining the key considerations in gaining access to land for exploration. The document can be downloaded by clicking here.
In response to information regarding the practice of hydraulic fracturing, CME has developed a fact sheet explaining what the practice consists of and where to find additional information. The document can be downloaded by clicking here.

Philips to light up the world with brighter, smaller, more-efficient LEDs
LEDs are taking the lighting world by storm, and Philips just took one step closer to that holy grail of smaller, lighter and cheaper illuminaton with its Luxeon Rebel LED. It's a lot smaller than the smallest surface-mount LEDs, with a light source that's a mere 3mm in diameter compared to the 4.5mm size of its predecessor.
They're available in a variety of colors, including that popular warm white that we've all gotten so accustomed to in our homes. Their light output will look very much like normal incandescent illumination, but they're far more efficient than even the most advanced compact fluorescent bulbs.
They also last longer — 50,000 hours compared to the 1,000 hours of a typical incandescent bulb. As efficient as these LEDs are, we're hearing about experimental LEDs that are 50% more efficient being tested in laboratories right now. It's an industry that's seeing explosive growth in efficiency. Expect these advanced LEDs to be designed into all types of household lighting fixtures in the near future.

UL Listed. Lutron Tech Support Hotline: 1.800.523.9466
The Lutron story began in the late 1950s in Joel Spira's makeshift lab in Brooklyn, New York. A young physicist fascinated by the aesthetic manipulation of light, Spira turned a spare bedroom into his make shift lab and set out to invent a solid-state device that would enable people to vary the intensity of the lights in their homes. At the time this was a radical notion, as light control was costly, energy consuming and too difficult to install. This all changed in 1959, when Spira emerged from his lab with a solid-state dimmer that could replace the switch in a residential wall box. He had replaced the rheostat with a thyristor, which controlled the light by interrupting the power flowing to the lamp. This shrank the size of the dimmer unit and used much less energy. This is how modern dimming was born. Allowing people to control the light in their homes like never before.
Spira's invention - a simple rotary dimmer that can still be found on many dining-room walls today - marked the birth of the lighting control industry. In almost 50 years of innovation, Lutron has invented hundreds of lighting control devices and systems, and expanded their product offering from 2 to 15,000. The company has advanced the technology of lighting controls while maintaining exceptional quality and design. Lutron continues to lead the market in high-quality lighting controls for fluorescent, halogen, incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage and LED light sources. As world renowned as they are, Lutron light controls continue to perform the most valuable of personal services - helping to keep people safe and comfortable in their own homes.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) comprise a family of blood cancers characterized by clonal expansion of a single blood cell type. Untreated, these cancers can progress to bone marrow failure and acute myeloid leukemia. Several groups have identified activating mutations in the JAK2 gene as associated with MPN; JAK2 inhibition has therefore emerged as approach to MPN therapy. Thus far, however, JAK2 inhibition strategies have had limited efficacy and have been accompanied by significant toxicity. In this paper, Ross Levine and his group at the Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center, New York, describe an indirect approach to reducing JAK2 activity by pharmacologically targeting HSP90, a protein that stabilizes JAK2. Inhibiting HSP90 normalized blood counts and improved survival in two mouse models of MPN, and the treatment promoted JAK2 degradation in samples from MPN patients. The authors believe that targeting HSP90, perhaps in combination with JAK2 inhibition, may be the way forward in the treatment of patients with MPN.
HSP90 is a therapeutic target in JAK2-dependent myeloproliferative neoplasms in mice and humans

Community Supported Agriculture, often shortened to CSA, is a prepaid subscription to a farm's produce for the season. Most CSAs give shareholders a weekly supply of veggies, herbs, fruits and sometimes even eggs and meat. You know it's fresh and you get to meet the farm and people who grew your food! The prepaid CSA arrangements also makes it a source of financial security for the farmer. Some CSAs also incorporate farm workdays for shareholders.
CSAs have been very popular recently. Be sure to sign up early before subscriptions are filled!

The way an issue is 'framed' (viewed and understood) has a profound effect on whether it is viewed as a priority for action by international organisations, states, and civil society. Wartime sexual violence used to be framed as a 'women's issue', but since the issue gained widespread notoriety in the mid-1990s, it has shifted to being understood as a 'security issue'. Activists and campaigners have used this as an opportunity to press for more attention at international and national levels, and policymakers have given higher priority to the issue of ending wartime sexual violence. Yet framing wartime sexual violence in terms of security – and in particular, a focus on 'rape as a weapon' – comes at a cost. First, it isolates this violence conceptually from the wider context of gender-based violence before, during, and after active armed conflict, and other types of violence may receive little attention. In addition, the specific emphasis on 'rape as a weapon' affects the types of wartime sexual violence recognised and condemned by the international community, the kinds of 'victims' granted assistance, and the extent to which women and men are perceived as victims, empowered agents, or perpetrators.

I complained about the shower in my room 5 out of the first 6 days and was eventually moved to another room. I did not receive any compenstation for the inconvence. My card was charged prior to me leaving so I was not able to pay in cash which would have been cheeper for me The quality of the cleaning was poor with insects in the 1st room I was in. I would not travel to this place again nor would I recommend it to anyone espicially if they have babies.
The location was great was pretty charming I think was a great value for what I paid
The drain of the bathtub was not working properly. I call the front desk they came but did not fix it.
Walking distance to universal studios good wi fi
No major problems or complaints
Bathroom was outdated
Big rooms with nice beds. Very good location.
Floors needs updating. Hope they will change smelling carpets to tile floors soon.
Very nice and helpful staff, good equipment of microwave, fridge,... breakfast was good and it is very close to the Universal studios
Can get a little noisy at night.
Price, Bed
"Breakfast", staff not friendly at all, small insects (not bed bugs) probably coming from the floor, no elevator, not as near Universal Studios as I thought
Clean, quiet room, helpful staff and and an excellent location.
Breakfast room way too small.
staff is friendly. room is spacious and so clean. big flat screen tv. love the breakfast. the location is great. we just walk to nearest convenience stores.
still thinking...
It has a great location, nearby lot of fun stuff. The room was clean and very comfortable.
Too much noise from the cleaning staff with the cart in front of the room. The staff at night not very friendly. The carpet was wet because of the AC and that made a bad smell in the room while close for long time.
Excellant location, good size refrigerator and microwave. In room safe.
Carpet looks like it has never been cleaned, just vacuumed - very stained. Bath tub surround has black mold all around grout and seams. Part of wall breaking off, door painted over rust. Mattresses on platforms to support.
The girl was new and it took us a half hour to check in. No one was even helping her. Then I got to my room and the key was not activated properly and I had to go back to the office. The air-conditioner was not very strong and the room was sort of dewy the whole time. Then the maid opened the door to the room well before check out and woke me up!
The staff was nice.
The neighbors we had were loud.
The staff were great and looked after every thing
Shower and toilet need up date
I never saw or heard of a free shuttle. They couldn't even give me bus info. I don't think they really spoke English.
close to universal studios and outlet centers.
we paid more than booking.com price.
The location was perfect. Within a 20 minute walk you were at universal studios. There were also enough places you could go to eat without the need of a car. It is a good place to stay when you are visiting universal studios, If you are staying here for a couple of days and you do not have high standards.
The refrigerator didnt work. Eventually we walked to universal studios because the shuttle was only running at 11 am. The next day we took the taxi back. This ride only costs 6 dollar which is very cheap.
We stayed 3 nights in Orlando and spent two days in Universal Studios theme parks. The location of the Super 8 is perfect for our needs, a 20min walk and we were there :) A few restaurants around the corner. We also enjoyed the swimming-pool, clean and quiet :D Reception was open at 5am when we left, very good service !
The breakfast room gets fastly crowded with a queue for the toaster and the quality of the breakfast food is a bit low. But not worth complaining too much, we appreciated our breakfasts still :D
We loved this hotel, super close to restaurants and Universal. The bedding was all clean (something I check at every hotel before we bring in our bags). The staff was friendly even though we arrived late at night on this first night. Furthermore, the room was clean as a whole, and the bed was comfortable.
Not enough parking in front of our room, so we had to park in the back and walk a little bit. Wasn't too bad - but if you have children it would be an inconvenience.
Everything! excepting the archaic air conditioning devices.

Complaint Filed With TVA Inspector General: Board Appointment of New CEO Violates Sunshine Laws
Submitted by WhitesCreek on November 12, 2012 - 8:29pm.
From what we now know, this may be the Board's chance to retract their choice for CEO. They may want to think about getting someone who doesn't have a track record of mismanaging nuclear installations.

I've been fully occupied over the past couple of weeks, and although that's a good thing, it always surprises me just how much busier I seem to get when I have "time off" booked. In between organising wedding related stuff (the missus and I have some weird idea about getting married) and going on "holiday" (read as "being busy somewhere else instead of being busy at home"), I managed to squeeze in a little painting tour.
First stop was Bromsgrove (a little town south of Brum), where I went to see some old school friends, catch up, and paint some of the local skate ramps – which I remember being far larger than they actually are. Apparently to local council dowsized the because all the little scooter-kiddies don't know how to man up…. Shameful.
Next stop was the Sneaks and Peaks mini-fest at Boxxed in Digbeth – Hoakser, Fluid, G87 and Philth were all painting, and were it not for the weather a lot more would have done. I love my crappy plastic pack-a-mack – as horrid as it looks, at least I managed to keep relatively dry and rain-free. Even the walls stayed fairly good, with the rain blowing (for the most part) away from the side most of us were painting.
After Birmingham, I travelled to Bournemouth, and although I didn't get the chance to paint whilst I was there, I did get a few cheeky stickers up before it was time to leave and head to Bristol.
Bristol is sick. The cops are easy, and the quality of a good portion of the work on the streets is excellent. I managed to paint near Nelson st, and in Stokes Croft, with very little bother. I even snuck in a little social commentry…
London came next, with visits to Leake St, Stockwell and Shoreditch. It was good to bump into a few writers whilst down there – although I missed some others. I guess the lesson there is for me to actually try getting in touch with people beforehand! I did see some sick work from Sobek and Kcis at the Boxpark in Shoreditch though – watching them paint together is eerie. I swear there's some sort of writer's telepathy going on there. Or maybe it's cause they're twins. Whatever. It's just spooky.

The 28-year-old, who came through Hibernian's youth ranks, was a free agent after leaving Middlesbrough earlier this year.
Thomson has agreed a deal until the end of the season that will see him paid based on appearances and bonuses.
"Kevin has made the decision that he wants to play here until the end of the season," said Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon.
"That's fantastic and we're delighted. Fitness-wise, he looks fine but he hasn't played much."
