You know the drill -- before leaving your apartment ever morning, you dress, pack your tools and a spare change of clothes, don gloves and helmet, and duck out the front door, bike under arm. It's only until you're beyond the point of turning around when you realize you've forgotten your rear light. Or your front light. Or worse still, both. The intelligent Light & Motion Vis 360 Plus Light system makes it significantly more difficult to forget your lights, while offering a bit of extra power (hence the "Plus" delineation) over the standard Vis 360.
Before the Vis systems, smart bike commuters have used separate headlights and taillights. While this is a satisfactory setup, it doesn't necessarily make you visible from the side. Accident data tells us that most accidents involving vehicles and bicycles occur at intersections, not surprisingly, with cars turning into or across cyclist's paths as they thread their way through the intersection. Light and Motion made the Vis 360 system a better, safer option by incorporating both front and rear light together, using the same battery pack so you'll always know that you'll have ample juice for both lights. But what really makes it special is the inclusion of amber side lights. These side markers create a 360° field of visible light.
The system is designed to be mounted on the helmet, as accident data also shows that cyclists are more visible to cars when the headlight is mounted on the helmet. From our experience, this is also preferable for performance reasons -- your light will point directly where you look.
Like the rest of the full Light & Motion line, the Vis 360 Plus Light is made in Monterey, California. The entire system mounts intuitively to any helmet with the lamp on front and taillight on back. It casts a bright, white 250 lumens beam of light which runs on the high setting for 3 hours. The medium setting will get you twice that, and it will pulse on the flash setting for a full 16 hours. The rechargeable Li-ion battery has a micro USB port and can be charged on your computer or by most cell phone chargers. From a complete drain, you can expect the light to fully charge in around 6 hours.

I hadn't used the light in a few months. Now, with difficulty, I got it to turn on, but I can't get the headlight in its variable mode, and I can't even turn it off. It seems that the switch is not working. I even took out the rubber plunger piece, but nothing I press below it turns it off. Do I have to send this in to be serviced, or can I fix it?
Nice but Be Careful With MIPS Helmets!
I just received this and this device is of the same quality as you would expect from Light & Motion, very well made. I also have their Vis 180 taillight and both are very well made. The attachment mechanism for this unit is excellent. It is basically two clip on style brackets that affix to the helmet vs. pure Velcro type straps. HOWEVER, I have a newer MIPS equipped helmet and fastening the mounting brackets to the helmet requires using a strap through the inside vents which overlaps the moveable MIPS piece inside the helmet rendering it useless as you are essentially locking it in place with the strap that holds the mounting bracket to the helmet - not safe as it negates the whole point of a MIPS helmet, to have that piece inside which can rotate. I did however come up with a very simple and effective solution. Light and Motion sells a Vis 360 Run strap which is basically an elastic strap with the mourning brackets for this unit on it. It's intended for running but fits over my helmet perfectly. It even has the anti slip type rubber on the inside of the elastic band so it doesn't slip on the helmet. This lets me use the unit on the exterior of my helmet while still keeping the safety benefits of the MIPS system. The Vis 360 running band is only $20 from Light and Motion and they have free shipping on their website. The description does not say so but it is compatible with the Vis 360+ light. I have not yet ridden with this setup but it fits very well so I'm not expecting any issues. The light itself is very bright and the button appears easy to use even with gloves on. A great buy but be careful not to negate the safety benefits of a MIPS helmet, try this workaround instead and get the best of both worlds!
Light Mounted on Giro Helmet
Quick vid to give you an idea of how the light looks on a helmet.
Watches Ur Back as U Pedal Into the Nite
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I found this light while searching for a "good headlamp for cycling," and I was impressed with the integration of the helmet-mounted headlamp and the rear red light. Although the price is a bit intimidating, you're getting two devices in one: a headlamp AND a rear safety light.
Installation: It took me 10min to get the light mounted on my Giro helmet since I was unfamiliar with the setup. Note: Light & Motion's website has additional installation pictures for clarification if you find yourself scratchin' the ol' noggin.
Impressions so far: I love that the light has a tilt adjustment, so you can dial it to point pretty much exactly where you want it to shine, and because it's on your helmet--rather than your handlebars--your light shines where you look, which means 360 degree visibility since handlebars are limited to pointing just in front of you.
I find the beam strength of the 360 PLUS is great for dark country roads, and even in neighborhoods here in NM where streetlights are not as common. The less bright of the two options (first option on the regular 360 model) is sufficient for most of my neighborhood rides when it's not pitch black out. I haven't used the strobe setting yet, but I'm glad that toggling between the lights doesn't include an option that turns the light off as is standard with most headlamps (you have to hold the button down to power it off). Also, I really like that the red light on the back can be turned off while leaving the front light on--helpful for not distracting riders behind me while off-roading.
What it's missing: One ding is that you can't really wear this light without a helmet, which is a bummer because I would love to take this thing hiking/running since it's so bright. Another improvement would be to add a toggle option so that the red light could be set to strobe for added protection, but the constant red light is still a BIG win for safety.
Overall, I'm really happy with the twin value of this light: It lights my way and watches my back. Ride on!
I agree with your point on a strobe mode for the back light. The first model, Vis360, strobes the back light and has no other option--if the front light is on, the back light must strobe. On the 360 plus, the back light can turned off, but when on it slowly pulses between two levels of brightness. My wife has observed both models from behind and feels strongly that the strobing of the 360 is more attention grabbing that the pulsing of the 360 plus even though the plus has a higher output.
I'm not sure why Light and Motion changed their design for the back light from strobe to slow pulse. Given that they have an on/off switch that controls the back light, they could have included a strobe option for those who think strobing is more attention grabbing and therefor safer.
The way it is now, you have a choice between higher output and longer battery life in the plus and lower output but strobing back light at lower cost in the original 360. I really like both products, but Ryan makes a good point on the loss of back strobing.
Thanks, Jeb. Helpful summary!
Startlingly bright. See and be seen.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have heavily used the original light, Vis 360, for cycling and inline skating over the past two years and am impressed by its visibility, durability, practicality, battery life. When my wife needed better lighting to skate at dusk, I had to get her this one to try out. The big deal with this model is double the lumen output at improved battery discharge capacities in all modes. If you don't need the extra brightness, the original model is a great value.
Having a helmet mount with integrated tail light is great: 1) it shines where you are looking, 2) it works for several bikes and activities without mounting to equipment, 3) it is easily swappable onto another helmet, 4) no need to worry about charging front and rear.
USB charging is flawless. An indicator LED makes it easy to tell how much charge remains. This light is so bright (double the lumens of the original) that I would use it mostly in medium or flash mode. At max, it can be disorienting. Getting twice as many lumens in flash mode does get more driver and other rider attention on the road. The tail light has also been enhanced to stay on while pulsing rather than cycle on and off. Higher output means the side lights are much more visible too.
I don't know yet how well it will work in non flash modes. I'm highly impressed with the Vis360 product pair and the original has proven worthy over several thousand miles. I'd suggest this model if you need to light the path you ride or if you ride in a bright environment (even daylight) and want to improve the odds that you are seen.
It mounted easily to several different helmets as promised and can be easily mounted and unmounted. It is light enough that I don't notice it much (unlike a camera). I highly recommend this light for urban road and park use both for cycling and skating. I'd like it even more at a lower price, but it's well engineered and manufactured--here in the USA.

For all of my POCOs, the navigation and collection properties are all null.
Let me provide some background. I have a complex code first project using EF 4.3.1. Proxy generation was disabled. Collection and navigation properties were managed manually.
I'm now enabling proxy creation and lazy loading. When debugging, I can see that my entity (which is cast to my known POCO type) is now actually an auto generated proxy class. So far so good.
Now, when I look at my navigation properties, they are null. Similarly, my collection properties are null.
Using reflection, I can see that the proxy class HAS overridden my navigation and collection properties.
All navigation and collection properties are virtual. e.g:
public virtual NavigationType NavigationName { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<CollectionType> CollectionName { get; set; }
Also, all tables are initialised as such:
.Map(m =>
I can also confirm that the database is generated as expected. Foreign keys are all present and are associated with the expected fields.
Why are they null? How can I diagnose this further?

Your dreams come true…
The Walt Disney Co. has changed its policy to allow same-sex couples to participate in a popular Fairy Tale Wedding program it runs mainly at its two U.S. resorts and cruise line, a Disney spokesman said Thursday.
Disney previously had allowed gay couples to organize their own weddings or commitment ceremonies at rented meeting rooms at the resorts, but had barred them from purchasing its Fairy Tale Wedding package and holding the event at locations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World that are set aside specifically for weddings.
Hey, American Taliban? How's that Disney boycott going anyway?

Nondestructive evaluation of adhesive joints in metal plate-like structures can be performed with ultrasonic guided waves. The key is to generate a mode that is sensitive to defects in the adhesive. This mode typically must be generated by mode conversion that occurs at a transition in the waveguide associated with the edge of the adhesive. Transmissibility, through mode conversion, is analyzed by a simple modeling method to quantitatively match wave structures in the continuous portion of a waveguide cross-section. The existence of mode pairs that have nearly identical wave structures in the continuous portion of the waveguide is shown; and more importantly, we show that incident modes having high transmission coefficients are converted to these mode pairs.

I am searching for a plugin that defines, that every single user in my WordPress Admin area can sea the same positions and elements of all admin-boxes. In other words: I define the layout of the admin-area (which boxes are shown and where) and save it as "standard". So that every new user (author, editor etc.) will see the same boxes at exact the same place like I defined.
That would be great so that I can show new people how to work with WordPress without having to think about their positions of boxes and so on. After that the user may define his own workspace.
Is there a plugin? If not: Dear developers, make a plugin :-)

The Supreme Court ruling on President Obama's health-care overhaul was supposed to lift the confusion clouding one-sixth of the U.S. economy and energize health-care stocks. So far, it's proving as divisive in the stock market as it is with the voting public.
Thursday's historic ruling in favor of a mandate requiring Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty could swell the ranks of newly insured patients by more than 30 million. That lifted acute-care hospitals and Medicaid providers, some by double-digit percentages late last week. But the threat of new taxes and profit-constraining regulations also worried a big swath of other stocks like drug makers, medical-device companies, and big health insurers.
Which of these reflexive moves might have legs? Bad-debt expenses routinely exceed 10% of revenues at hospitals.

Sheryl Skolnick, co-head of research at CRT Capital Group, thinks investors should "enjoy the rally while it lasts." For one thing, any benefit from less bad debt could be offset by slower reimbursement growth and fiscal belt-tightening. The law's major provisions won't kick in until 2014, and Republicans have vowed to repeal the law the first chance they get. "I think the market has overreacted, without taking into account the risks from lower reimbursements and the November election."
Barron's anticipated the decision (see "How to Play the Obamacare Ruling," June 11), while prediction markets like Intrade recently pegged the odds of an overturn at more than 70%.
Among managed-care companies, the surge of Medicaid providers also looks overzealous—since the ruling essentially limited Washington's authority to compel states to participate in the expansion of Medicaid, the federal insurance scheme for the poor. Still, the expansion wasn't summarily struck down, which makes the 5% to 9% pop in Medicaid-focused specialists like Molina Healthcare moh 0.4355235750804772% Molina Healthcare Inc.

Sure, millions of new patients are a boon, but the sludge of costly new regulations and the proposed establishment of state-based insurance exchanges aren't. Requirements to guarantee coverage to all comers without prejudice to their medical history and without charging more for existing conditions also worried investors. Perhaps too much.
"While the government may play a bigger role in health care, the entire system still ultimately relies on insurers," says David Pearl, co-chief investment officer of Epoch Investment Partners, who likes the prospects for big diversified insurers and holds shares of Aetna. "In the long run, the biggest insurers are likely to be low-cost providers, and they're more likely to gain market share." Since the health-care overhaul was unveiled two years ago, insurers have started to tweak their businesses, and share prices have begun to reflect the anticipated margin pressures and commodification of managed-care services. The group trades at less than 10 times projected profits, below their median of 13.4 times over the past decade and at a 20% discount to the overall stock market.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Joseph France also thinks the market has overlooked the potential for consolidation and the ability of big insurers like UnitedHealth to counter rising costs by expanding services. Humana's chief business, Medicare-related policies, is "growing rapidly because of baby boomers aging into Medicare and choosing managed care, and the company's long-term strategy of reinvesting in more cost-effective products that preserve the benefits its members find most attractive." He thinks shares are worth 11 times projected 2013 profits, or $95—above current level near $77.
Broadening insurance also could make preventive screening more accessible to more Americans and lower-income patients.

I'm not a lawyer, but other than the corner-case of retirees that you mentioned, I just don't see this as being legitimate. Spending money out of your checking account is not income under any typical definition of the word.

McGuire 'magic' recalled
Dick Enberg uses the word "magic" to describe the kind of impact Al McGuire had on him as a broadcasting colleague and as a friend.
It was that magic Enberg pursued with a net and captured for the one-man play he wrote, "McGuire," which will be reprised by actor Cotter Smith on Saturday and Sunday at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta.
Smith first played the part of the Marquette coach for Milwaukee audiences in June 2005 at the Helfaer Theatre on the Marquette campus.
On Saturday night on CBS-TV before a national television audience, Enberg will narrate a feature about McGuire's Marquette team that won the championship 30 years ago in Atlanta, the site of this year's Final Four.
During a phone conversation earlier this week, Enberg, 72, talked about his friend who died in 2001.
"If you had a few minutes with Al McGuire, you probably left remembering something for a lifetime," Enberg said. "I think about him most every day. That's true of a lot of people. I'm not the only one. In fact, even my wife who is not a big basketball fan and met Al only after we were married said, 'I could tell right away he was a rascal, but I loved him anyway.' He had that kind of touch with people."
In life, Enberg knew a few guys who went by the name of Al McGuire. He put all of them in his play.
Enberg wasn't close to the McGuire who coached.
"There was so little access to Al for me," Enberg said. "I didn't like him. He was one of the very few coaches that I couldn't quite grab.
"Most coaches were there at practice. They were there before the game and at least you got some insight into them, what they might have going strategically during the game. But not Al. He wouldn't be at practice the day before. He wouldn't come onto the floor until we were on the air.
"Part of that was by design. He just didn't want too many people in his inner circle. He just couldn't embrace too many different folks. He limited that. He had that electrical field around him.
"But once you got inside, this character became something more than real. Someone who had such a depth of insight. Someone eager to share with me because he felt I was too farm-boy naïve and people would take advantage of me so he thought he better teach me some street lessons in life."
The closed-in coach as a broadcaster made his personality more available to a television audience.
"As a broadcaster he become another persona," Enberg said. "In fact, Al said a couple of years into broadcasting, 'People are starting to like me. I don't know who the real Al McGuire is any more. Is it that character that ranted and raved on the sidelines and liked to walk along a curb after losing a game? Or is it this Al McGuire where people think I'm actually clever and even funny?' "
Of course, the answer is both were real.
McGuire and UCLA's John Wooden are the only two college basketball coaches to announce they were going to retire and then win a national championship. Early in his career, Enberg called UCLA basketball games when the Bruins were on their championship run under Wooden.
Do those two coaches share anything else?
"They are on opposite ends of the continuum," Enberg said. "If Al is down on the left side, then coach Wooden is way up there on the right side. Al had great affection for Coach Wooden and Wooden really liked Al. I don't know exactly the reason. But I think Al was so much different. That's what attracted all of us. He was as different from Coach Wooden as could be."
Enberg recalled the time McGuire made his first trip to New Zealand and asked Wooden, who had visited there a few times, for some contacts. Wooden provided a few names and numbers for people he knew.
"Then Coach Wooden told me that he never heard from Al and his friends in New Zealand never heard from Al," Enberg said. "He finally corralled Al and asked him, 'Why didn't you go to those people I gave you numbers for? They're nice people. They were expecting you. I told them you were coming.' Al said, 'Ah coach, I would have ruined your reputation.' "

Test of Proficiency in Korean
|Test of Proficiency in Korean
|Revised Romanization
|hangugeo neungnyeok siheom
|hangugŏ nŭngnyŏk sihŏm
The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) is a Korean language test offered six times annually (in Jan, Mar, Apr, Jul, Oct, Nov) to foreigners in Korea and twice annually (Apr, Oct) to people studying Korean in other countries. The TOPIK is for non-natives whose first language is not Korean, overseas Koreans who are learning Korean, those wishing to study at a Korean university, and for those who want to be employed at Korean companies in and outside of Korea. TOPIK is administered by the National Institute for International Education - NIIED. (Hangul: 국립국제교육원.)
The test was first administered in 1997 and taken by 2274 people. Initially the test was held only once a year.[1] In 2009, 180,000 people took the test.[2] The Korean government introduced a law in 2007 that required Chinese workers of Korean descent who have no relatives in Korea to take the test so they could be entered in a lottery for visas.[3][4]
In 2012, more than 150,000 candidates took the TOPIK, and the total number of people who have taken the test since its date of inception surpassed 1 million.[5]
|Number of candidates
Old format[edit]
In previous years, the test was divided into four parts: vocabulary and grammar, writing, listening, and reading. Two versions of the test were offered: standard (S)-TOPIK and the business (B)-TOPIK. There were three different levels of S-TOPIK: beginner (초급), intermediate (중급), and advanced (고급). Depending on the average score and minimum marks in each section it was possible to obtain grades 1-2 in beginner, 3-4 in intermediate and 5-6 in advanced S-TOPIK. In B-TOPIK the scores in each section (out of 100) were added together to give a score out of 400.[6]
New format[edit]
A new format of the TOPIK took effect from the 35th TOPIK test, held in July 2014. Instead of Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced level tests, there are now only two level tests- TOPIK I & TOPIK II. TOPIK I has sub levels 1 and 2 while TOPIK II has 4 levels from 3 to 6. Another important change is that now the TOPIK I has only two sections - Reading and Listening, instead of 4 sections in the old format. TOPIK II has 3 sections - Reading, Listening and Writing.[7]
The test results are valid for two(2) years after the announcement of examination results.[7]
Consists of two levels: TOPIK I, TOPIK II Grades: 6 grades(1st to 6th grades) The evaluation is based on the total scores earned. Topik I is the basic level and Topik II is the intermediate/advanced level.[8]
|1st Grade
|2nd Grade
|Determination of grade
|score over 80
|score over 140
|3rd Grade
|4th Grade
|5th Grade
|6th Grade
|Determination of grade
|score over 120
|score over 150
|score over 190
|score over 230
Structure of questions[edit]
The test consists of mostly multiple-choice questions; however, the TOPIK II level writing examination will require a short-answer. TOPIK I consists of multiple-choice questions for listening (40 minutes long with 30 questions) and reading (60 minutes long with 40 questions). Both examination areas are worth a score of 100 with a combining score of 200. TOPIK II has two slots. The first slot is the listening examination (60 minutes long with 50 questions) and writing (50 minutes long with 4 short-answer questions). The second slot is for the reading examination (70 minutes long with 50 questions). All three examinations of TOPIK II are worth a score of 100 with a combining score of 300.
Use of the test result[edit]
- Korean university admission for foreigners.[8]
- Obtaining work visas for local Korean companies.[8]
- Recognizing domestic practitioner license for foreigners with medical doctor qualifications.[8]
- For the application of a Korean Language Teaching Qualification test (level 2 and 3) and acquisition of certificate.[8]
- To apply for permanent residency.[8]
- To obtain marriage based immigrant visa.[8]
Testing locations[edit]
In addition to Korea, TOPIK is available in the following countries: Bulgaria, Colombia, Japan, Taiwan, China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Paraguay, Argentina, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Turkey, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Egypt, Belarus, Russia, Brazil, Cambodia and UAE.[9] [10] [11] Examination times are divided into three time zones: China and marginal states (China including Hong Kong, Mongolia, Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore and Brunei; which shares the same timezone of GMT+8h), Korea and Japan (which shares the same timezone of GMT+9h), and other countries (which follows local time of a specific country).
2015 examination schedule[edit]
The 38th, 39th, 40th, 41st, 42nd, and 43rd TOPIK examinations will be held in 2015. The 38th examination will be held on the 18th of January and 41st examination will be held on the 19 of July only in South Korea. All the other examinations will be available throughout Asia, Americas, Europe and Africa. Further examination schedules are available at 2015 TOPIK Examination Schedule

Eat more fat. If you feel you can't cut something out, it's probably what you need to cut out the most. How many carbs are you eating a day? Especially if you're active, you might want to add in...

That, of course, depends on which science you listen to. It's the same logic as to why white rice is considered an acceptable cheat by most people who are cutting out grains, but brown rice is not.
More of the anti-nutrients and stuff that is hard to digest is stripped off in the white bread.

This story was written by Joseph Weisenthal.
This is not much of a surprise, given that he's proposing a totally new board slate, but Carl Icahn is pushing to have Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) CEO Jerry Yang removed, he told WSJ in an interview. He added that he will make a concrete public statement in the coming days, clarifying his frustrations with Yang and the Yahoo board. On the fresh details that emerged yesterday about Yahoo's severance plan poison pill, Icahn said: "How can Yahoo keep saying they're willing to negotiate and sell the company on the one hand, while at the same time they're completely sabotaging the process without telling anyone." He added that he will make a concrete public statement in the coming days, clarifying his frustrations with Yang and the Yahoo board. As for his ultimate goal of getting Microsoft back to the table and making a full offer for Yahoo, Icahn suggested that Microsoft management is distrustful of Yang, and that with him out of the picture, they could come back to the deal.
While the company has been quiet responding to the latest developments, this is noteworthy point from the report: "A Yahoo spokesman declined to comment on Mr. Icahn's moves, but cast doubt on some of the details in the lawsuit, saying that Yahoo was "not aware" of a previous $40-a-share offer from Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) that the court papers referred to."
The article also notes that the Yahoo board is meeting today.

DiDio & Lee Say Early "Rebirth" Response is 'Uncharted Territory' for DC Comics
Comic Books
Hey folks, I was going to post the entries to the Random Thoughts contest but then I thought, "But Brian, you should really give them another chance to enter in case they missed your first post on the subject."
So here you go!
As you may or may not know (and you really should know), our own Chad Nevett recently edited a fine collection of essays about Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's Transmetropolitan called Shot in the Face:
A Savage Journey to the Heart of Transmetropolitan. You can read more about it here. Our own Greg Burgas also has an essay in the book (as does Chad, on top of editing the whole thing).
Chad has a free copy to give away and we figured we'd do it as a contest. Simply mail me (at firstname.lastname@example.com) a thought you had about Transmetropolitan. Imagine that there was a post up about the series and you could say anything you wanted to about it, what would you say? It can be just a sentence, it can be a paragraph, whatever you feel like writing. Next Tuesday, I will collect all the submissions and we'll post them together as a special edition of Random Thoughts next Wednesday. Chad, though, will also read all of the submissions and pick whichever one he finds the most insightful and that person will win a free copy of the book. Not JUST a free copy of the book, though (and here's something I didn't mention the first time around, which is also why I figured I should write about this again), but Chad will actually write a one-of-a-kind edition of Random Thoughts on the inside cover of the book, just for you!
Sounds good, right? So just e-mail me your Transmetropolitan thoughts to email@example.com now! If you've already done so, don't worry about it. I've already received plenty of entries. This is just for the people who missed this announcement the first time around.

In a week or two (I guess depending on how quick you folks send in submissions) I'll collect all the submissions and we'll post them together as a special edition of Random Thoughts. Chad, though, will also read all of the submissions and pick whichever one he finds the most insightful and that person will win a free copy of the book.
Sound good? Then just e-mail me your Transmetropolitan thoughts to firstname.lastname@example.com now!
Hey folks, in case you missed it, we're doing another art challenge where we ask you artists out there to draw a page from a comic book script. This time around, it is a page from Fred Van Lente's Archer and Armstrong #1. The winning page will be displayed on Valiant Comics' website!
The deadline is November 30th at 11:59 PM!
We got a great turnout last time, but the turnout is lower this time around, so please show us your stuff! Since less people have entered, your odds of being chosen are presumably better, so it is a great chance to get your work showcased!
Click here to see the script page and learn how to enter!
So now that I've finished writing my new book, I figured I should get back to updating Legends Revealed. However, due to various reasons I won't bore you with here, I've decided to re-name the site Urban Legends Revealed.
As a result, I'll need new logos for the site's main page and for both Sports Legends Revealed and Entertainment Legends Revealed. Essentially just adding "Urban" to all three logos.
When I had Brandon Hanvey design the original logos, I had an idea of what they should look like, but then I realized, what do I know about logos? That's when it occurred to me that it would be interesting to do this as a contest.
If you're interested in designing a new logo for Urban Legends Revealed, Sports Urban Legends Revealed and Entertainment Urban Legends Revealed, e-mail me your designs for the three logos at email@example.com. I'll post all the entries here and people can vote on which ones they think looks the best. Let's put the deadline at…say…a month from today.
Don't take the current logos into consideration at all (except for the size of the space you have to work with, of course), just design what you think would look cool.
Whichever one I end up using gets a $50 prize/payment/whatever you want to call it (and, of course, a credit on the site as the logo designer).
Last week, I showed you panels and/or pages featuring Thor as drawn by the thirty-two pencilers who did full pencils on issues of the first volume of Thor (including the Journey Into Mystery issues). Here is that list if you want to look at it before I reveal the answers.
Okay, now I will reveal who the artists were as well as the three people who guessed each one of them correctly!
In honor of the Thor movie, I am doing an extremely difficult challenge! This is a test to see if you are "worthy" of knowing your Thor pencilers!
In the first volume of Thor (Journey Into Mystery #83 through The Mighty Thor #502) there were thirty-two pencilers that drew at least one full issue of Journey and/or Thor. I will now list thirty-two drawings from those thirty-two different issues by those thirty-two pencilers (I used a randomizer to put them out of chronological order). I have intentionally chosen only issues where the penciler in question did full pencils. This is because layouts and/or breakdowns makes it waaay too tough for you folks to identify the penciler, since the art often looks more like the finisher than the layout artist. Luke Ross, Oclair Albert, Frank Toscano, Dante Bastianoni and Pino Rinaldi all did full pencils for PARTS of Thor #497 and 498. I am not counting them, so do not bother guessing any of them, as they do not appear on the list.
Otherwise, you have a tough challenge ahead of you! Simply E-MAIL ME at firstname.lastname@example.com (do not post your answers in the comments section) your answers to who each artist is and I'll announce who got the most correct next week (as well as reveal the answers). Don't worry if you can't get a lot of them – this is a very difficult challenge. A good two or three of the artists on the list are especially not well known. But there are a ton of famous artists, as well, including some all-time greats. So just let your knowledge of art styles guide you to however many you can get. I think anything more than a dozen correct is good, honestly. Also, since you have a week to answer, there's no rush to give your guesses.
Remember, E-MAIL me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Do not post your answers in the comments.
Remember, not in the comments. E-mail me your answers at email@example.com. That way everyone is on an equal footing.
Really, do not post in the comments. Just e-mail me your answers. For all this overkill, it took just two comments before someone posted their answers in the comments, so that is why I added the big bold bit at the top (and obviously this sentence).
Finally, do not post your answers in the comments.
Here are the artists – have fun naming 'em!
Two years ago, on the Wednesday after American Thanksgiving, Secret Invasion #8 came out. Last year, it was Siege: The Cabal #1. This year… not much. What gives, Marvel? But, even without any big event books, we're still going to play everyone's favourite Comics Should be Good game: Guess the Real Spoiler! The rules are simple: below the cut, I'll provide a spoiler for all of the comics I read this week, only one of which is real, and you try to guess which one is real. Tomorrow, around noon, I'll update the post with the solution. And, of course, if you don't want anything spoiled, don't click for more. So, let's play the game!
The post has been edited to include the answer…
Labour Day has delayed books in the US by a day this week, but not in Canada, because, when we get a day off, we work twice as hard to keep on schedule. That means it's time for another round of Guess the Real Spoiler, the game where I will give you spoilers for every comic I read this week and you will try and guess which is real. Of course, don't participate if you don't want to be spoiled (as even fake spoilers can contain a germ of reality or maybe just be way better than what happens, therefore spoiling your reading experience when you find out what really happens). I will update the post tomorrow around noon with the answer. Now, on to the game!
Edit: The answer is now at the end of the post…
It's another week where comics in the United States are delayed a day thanks to a holiday while not being the case in Canada, so it's time for Guess the Real Spoiler, the game where I give you a spoiler for all of the comics I've read this week, but only one of which is real. Of course, that means you may get spoiled should you read the post and play the game. That doesn't seem to stop people though. As well, since this holiday comes on the same week of the month as last month's holiday, there are a lot of books from the last time we played this game showing up again. But, whatever, that shouldn't matter. I'll update this post tomorrow around noon with the solution, so you have until then to guess. On with the game!
Edit: The answer is now at the end of the post.
With another week of comics being delayed by a day in the US and not here in Canada, I'm bringing back Guess the Real Spoiler! It's a game where I will present spoilers for every comic I read this week, only one of which is really what happened in the comic. Obviously, you wouldn't want to participate if you don't want to get spoiled a day earlier as even my fake spoilers could ruin a reading experience… I guess. So, if you want to play, click on the link. I'll update this post with the answer tomorrow (June 3) at noon EST. EDIT: The answer has been revealed at the end of the post…
Over at Pop Culture Shock, Jon Haehnle put together a "NBA Playoff Smackdown," where a group of basketball fans who write about comics on the web make their predictions as to who will win each series throughout the NBA playoffs.
At the end of the playoffs, whoever has picked the most series correctly (with extra points for predicting how many games each series will take) gets bragging rights.
And seeing as how I write for the awesome New York Knicks blog (part of ESPN's True Hoop Network of NBA blogs), Knickerblogger, I was asked to contribute picks, as well.
Check out the picks here.
Heck, feel free to play along in the comments if you'd like!
Vans did a limited edition production run of Kick Ass sneakers in conjunction with the release of the new film…
Hearty Magazine is giving away a pair of the sneakers for free. Check them out here to see how you can enter to win a pair!
Welcome to the brand new Comics Should be Good game inspired by the US having its comics delayed a day because of Thanksgiving while comics still ship today in Canada (and other countries like Israel apparently). I thought this might be a fun way for me to lord my getting comics a day before most of the comic-reading population online — fun for me and you (possibly). Below the cut, I will provide a spoiler for every comic that I bought this week and all of them will be fake except for one — and I want you to guess which is the real one. If people enjoy this game, I'll bring back any time a US holiday leads to their books being delayed a day and maybe do variations depending on the amount of comics I get that week. For now, click on the link, journey beneath the cut, and, of course, there are spoilers.
Edit: Solution is at the end of the post under the cut.

Small entries have raised doubts about the future of the
annual Festival Fours bowls tournament.
''Our club is looking at other options and may not hold the
tournament next season,'' Kaikorai Bowling Club president
Barry Craig told the Otago Daily Times.
The annual Festival Fours event was started in 1953 by the
Kaituna club. Kaikorai took charge when the Kaituna club went
into recess nine years ago.
Only 24 teams have entered for this year's event that starts
today at the Kaikorai and Wakari greens.
''Unless we get more support from Dunedin bowlers, the event
could lapse,'' Craig said.
The event has always had solid support from teams outside
Dunedin and it is the same this year, with five teams from
other centres entered.
One of the strongest visiting teams is Richie Kerr's Kia Toa
combination from Timaru.
The team includes Ken Callon and Jim Vevers from the Timaru
club and Kaikorai's Dave Callon, who grew up in Timaru and is
the son of 82-year-old Ken.
A regular from South Otago is Wynston McLachlan (Clinton),
who won the New Zealand pairs title with Les Morrison in
Marty Kreft, the son of former All Black prop Tony Kreft,
skips a strong Alexandra team. Other strong country
combinations include teams skipped by Tony Cockerill (Gore)
and Adam Wyber (Milton).
Last year's composite winning team of Ross Munro, Mel
Carmichael, Barry Craig and John Munro will be defending its
It will be the sixth time that Ross Munro (65), a retired
freezing worker, has played in the event. The accurate lead
has won it twice and was runner-up on one occasion. He has
also won the plate event twice.
There are two other composite teams that will put in strong
A strong contender is the team skipped by Steve Fleming. It
includes his brother, Rodney, and Kaikorai players Steve
Wilson and Mike Kernaghan.
Kernaghan won a bronze medal in the singles at the 2002
Commonwealth Games and has won three New Zealand titles -
singles in 2001 and 2002, and pairs with Dave Archer in 2007.
Graeme Allan has a team that includes Dan O'Leary, Peter
Wilson and Mike Cranston. Other teams to watch are skipped by
Jacko Susilo (Andersons Bay) and Regan Larkin (Kaikorai).
The first two days will consist of round-robin section play,
with games restricted to 2hr 15min or 18 ends.
Three games of section play will be held today and tomorrow
from 8.30am and the final is expected to start at 1.45pm on
Sunday at the Kaikorai green.

Nearly 90 minutes of non-stop, bare-bones cocksucking. There is no tease, no disrobing, nor anything else to distract from the single subject presented. The 10 girls do what they have been paid to do. The mostly white men aren't credited, as their sole purpose is to provide a cock to get sucked. Depicted in a montage of close-ups, each girl ends her blowjob by getting a creamy facial.

A friend of mine has got offer from Krannert and NUS. She is very confused as to which one to finally take.
The fee @ NUS is about 20 Lacs and at Krannert she is getting scholarship of about $70,000. She would need to pay about 10 Lacks @ Krannert. She has already deposited 2 Lacks at NUS. Besides monitory factor, she is not able to decide which one of the two colleges is better.
To be honest, I am not aware of the colleges outside India, can any one please help me with pointers/information as to which one she should go for?
Many Thanks!

loud rattle grinding noise, need help before wife kills me
I just bought a1997 4cyl Jeep Wrangler today. Its all stock. It had 19,000 real miles on it. Its been parked for 2 years. The front brakes are locked up. I freed them up enough to drive but they have tightened up again. I'll be replacing the calipers today. My real problem is the loud rattle, kind of grinding noise that comes from the drivers side front when i have the accelerator to the floor. It does it in every gear except 1st and reverse. I can rev the motor in neutral and it didn't make the sound. Its only when moving. When I'm easy on the accelerator it doesn't do it. Its worse in 4th. It also loses power in 4th. But the power seems ok when the brakes aren't locked. Could it just be the locked up brakes. It is more of a terrible rattle than a grind. Thanks for the help.and also its only the driver side caliper that locked up. Replacing both sides though
Sounds like engine ping.
It doesn't do it all the time and its not rhythmic. Also the motor only has 19000 miles. I bought it from the place where i work. The maintenance guys here would have never let it run low on oil
Simplist solution? Don't put the pedal to the floor. Why would you ever do that? No need. You can wind it up pretty good without ever putting it to the floor so if your problem only occurs when you do that.....don't!
I was waiting for that answer. Thanks
It happens while accelerating. Once at 55 i can hold steady and i here much less our not at all
I still think it sounds like spark knock (Ping).
I got new plugs with it. Ill have to get them in.
I havnt changed the plugs yet. But i did change the gas. Noise gone. Its still under powered in 4th and 5th. But that could be my tight brakes. I hope? Putting on new cslipers tomorrow. It drive great though after changing the gas, power was good and then went away. Up to 3rd gear is still good. I can barely push it in neutral. Do you guys think the new calipers will help the power issue?
If fresh gas did the trick then it was spark knock (ping) that you were experiencing.
Yeah. You were right. Thanks for that help. Had great power after that then took out out again and had very little in 4th. Changing brakes now
I cannot run in 4th below 35 mph with my 4cyl and on hills it worse but I learned to live with it and get 19 MPG highway and 17 city hwy mix. That's what they make truck lanes on the interstates for, you and me.
When I was working, downsized earlier this year, I never went over 65 with my 100 mile rt commute and still had to gas up every third day. Don't miss that part of it with today's gas prices.
I believe I am also experiencing spark knock... 02 TJ, 4.0L, NV3550, 93K. When I accelerate on any kind of hill with the RPMs below 1200, I get this rattling noise. The noise is only when I'm in gear, and only at low RPM's it almost always stops by 1500 or so. My father listened to it the other day and thought it was a ping, but I know nothing about this. He had mentioned it could be a timing issue?
Obviously, since mine does it even when the gas isn't floored, I would like to get it fixed. Any suggestions on what to try or do to get this thing running smoothly again?
If the rpm's are below 1200 and the engine is lugging and pinging you need to go into a lower gear to get the rpm's up above 1500. I try to keep my rpm's above 2000 all the time since the torque curve is too low below that. Not hard to do with a 5 speed because all I need to do is downshift.
