Hey all,
Just wondering what the best ammo for 357 Magnum is,, and where to buy it. Is Federal HST the best out right now???? --- I have heard goof things about Corbon too... What do you think??
I use the "original" load that gave the .357 Magnum it's reputation.
Remington 125 Grain SJHP or Federal 125 Grain JHP's. I shoot that load out of all my .357 Magnums that are carried for self defense. There's a lot of blast, noise and recoil, but the load works.
Nothing against CorBon, I like their stuff, but it is a "mid-level" load.
I shoot Double Tap 125 gr. ammo right now. 1700+ fps from a 6". 1600+from a 4". 1400+ from a snubbie.
The bullet is the well proven 125 gr. Gold Dot from Speer.
depends upon the gun being used in...
old school K frames - 158 grn only bigger frames - newer guns any round I want to
When I was an LEO we carried winchester silvertips for duty ammo shooting out of 4" 686 I believe the silvertips are a 145 or 147 grn bullet
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
158gr Remington HPT, I like the expansion and weight retention.
Speer Gold dots 125 grs for me
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Hey all,
It seems that the Double Tap is a favorite...
I've posted a link to Midway where I believe I will purchase it from. Its a box of 50 cartridges for $42 (Including shipping). Its 125gr. that produces 710 ft lbs of energy from a 4'' revolver. Sounds pretty good is this a go??? Thanks to all whom have responded thus far... it would have been very hard to properly arm myself w/o the help of many people on this forum!!!!
MidwayUSA - DoubleTap Ammunition 357 Magnum 125 Grain Gold Dot Jacketed Hollow Point Box of 50
It's a little cheaper from here:
I don't have the shipping charges right in front of me. But they were $9 something. It was a little under $39 with shipping. Close. But why not save a little bit?
It was shipped the next day and I had it in just a few days total.
I think you'll be happy with these.
They use a "low flash" powder. I haven't thought that they had even as much flash as the MagTech's I practice with.
The recoil is similar in felt recoil to other, lessor, rounds. It does have a different "sharpness" of recoil and bark than the MagTech's but no more in my estimation. (MagTech's, by the way, are 158 gr. at 1235 fps.)
You probably already know. But you DON"T want any 158 gr. for self defense, particularly the Gold Dots. They need an awful lot of speed to open up and there are over penetration issues reported.
125 gr. is what it is all about with the .357 for self defense. They open up fast and dump all that energy into the target without TOTAL penetration. 125 gr. is what the Secret Service and the Federal Air Marshalls use in their .357 Sigs.
Accuracy is good.
I did notice a little powder residue on my support hand after shooting a full box of Double Tap in one sitting. But then, I shoot a scandium snub with 1 and 7/8" barrel. I expected a little unfired powder. If it hadn't been so, there would be no way they could claim several hundred fps more from a 6" barrel.
Anytime a guy can get "classic" .357 performance from a scandium snubbie without breaking either the gun or his hand, it's good ammo IMO.
1600 fps out of a 4" exceeds by far the speed for 125 gr. bullets that gave the .357 it's stellar reputation as a "manstopper".
The original question was "What is the best .357 Mag ammo?"
To me the most effective "general" use .357 ammo remains the classic 158 gr Remington HPT.
You get expansion and penetration from 4" bbl revolvers up to 18" carbines.
Specific bullets might work better for a specific task, but for one bullet to work for all you can ask your .357 to do, the 158 gr pills are the most versatile in a very versatile cartridge.

Free Agency Day 3: Did The Bills Overpay Mario Williams?
By: timbersfan , 11:44 PM GMT on March 17, 2012
As it turns out, Buffalo was more than a leverage stop for Mario Williams. We expected Williams to use an offer from the Bills, an organization that hasn't won a playoff game since 1995, to get a similarly sized deal from a more prominent team. Instead, on Thursday morning Buffalo completed the most surprising free agent signing since Reggie White in 1993, locking up Williams with a six-year deal that guarantees him an incredible $50 million. And as free agent signings go, the deal sure feels like it leans closer to masterstroke than disaster.
The $50 million guarantee is the truly incredible thing about this deal. The previous record in guaranteed money for a defensive player in free agency was set by Albert Haynesworth, and depending on what source you see for that contract, the guaranteed figure was between $36 million and $41 million. If the $50 million figure is legitimate, it dwarfs the previous record and creates a new standard for dominant defensive players to approach. Without this deal, the Packers could have gone to Clay Matthews this offseason and creditably offered him $40 million in guaranteed money as part of a new deal; now, no. 52 will probably get $52 million in guarantees on his next contract.
Did the Bills overpay? Yes and no. In a way, they had to overpay, because they probably wouldn't have been able to lure Williams to Buffalo on a market-value deal. Maybe they whispered "$50 million" into Williams's agent's ear at the Combine and got his first visit as a result. Maybe they whispered "$40 million" instead, got him to show up, and upped their offer to $50 million when Williams left their facility on Tuesday night. It's hard to imagine that Williams would have chosen the Bills over most other teams in the NFL with money being equal, and it's also simultaneously hard to imagine anyone else in the league shelling out $50 million in guaranteed money for Williams. Heck, while we suggested that the Bills should make Williams a Godfather offer before free agency, even we didn't think they'd go to $50 million.
On the other hand, this is exactly the sort of player you need to be comfortable overpaying, because it's almost impossible to acquire him otherwise. There's no other way the Bills can get a 27-year-old pass-rusher with this combination of production and athleticism. That's the difference between the Bills overpaying Williams and a team like the Jaguars overpaying Laurent Robinson, a move we criticized yesterday. You can get 95 percent of Laurent Robinson for $500K because there are dozens of guys like that in the market, so it's not worth getting the real thing for $12 million. Ninety-five percent of Mario Williams would still be a $30 million player, because there's nobody like that who comes available in free agency. Paying a premium to lock up that guy is fine.
Beyond giving the Bills an elite pass-rusher for the first time since the criminally underrated Aaron Schobel retired, this signing should solidify Buffalo's front four as the best defensive line in football. The Giants will have more depth than the Bills, but nobody is topping a one-through-three punch of Williams, Kyle Williams (the new Williams Wall?) and Marcell Dareus. Kyle Williams should be healthy after spending the second half of 2011 on injured reserve, and Dareus was a dynamic player in the first half of this past season before badly tiring during the final stretch of the year. Since we always think of big acquisitions in terms of how they will affect a team's most notable regular opponent, this move should allow the Bills to consistently rush Tom Brady with just four down linemen and drop seven into coverage, which is a huge advantage versus those teams who have to blitz Brady to create pressure. The Bills are moving back into a 4-3 after two years in the 3-4, which should put Williams back at his natural position of defensive end and allow the talented Bills linemen to penetrate into the backfield to make plays.
Does it turn Buffalo into an instant playoff contender? Probably not. Bills fans point to the team's 4-1 start last season before injuries began to create depth issues, but that was a record built on unsustainable luck. Those Bills forced 16 turnovers across five games and pulled off consecutive 18-point comebacks for the first time in NFL history while going 3-1 in games decided by a score or less. In their final 11 games, the defense forced just 14 turnovers and the Bills were 0-4 in games decided by a score or less. Ryan Fitzpatrick also played at a career-high level during that stretch before returning to the mirror image of his previous self during the second half, and there are still questions about whether he can suddenly improve into an above-average passer at 30. Williams will make the defense way better, both by creating big plays and making everyone else's job easier, but the Bills will need to match Williams's work on defense with an above-average offense if they want to make the playoffs. For the first time since the Music City Miracle, though, Bills fans have a reason to enter a season with hope.
Odds and Ends
The two most prominent offensive guards left on the market both changed teams on Thursday, as Ben Grubbs left Baltimore to replace Carl Nicks in New Orleans, while Steve Hutchinson signed a three-year deal with the Titans. The Grubbs deal was a necessity for the Saints, who had already lost their best offensive lineman when Nicks signed with the Buccaneers earlier in the week. They couldn't afford to allocate such a large portion of their payroll to Nicks and fellow guard Jahri Evans, and Grubbs's contract calls for him to receive $16 million in guaranteed money over a five-year deal, about half of what Nicks received from Tampa Bay. In truth, Grubbs shouldn't represent a significant downgrade from Nicks's level of production.
Hutchinson, on the other hand, is coming off a bad season in Minnesota and might be just about finished at 35. While he was once the league's best interior offensive lineman, Hutchinson's performance has badly slipped over the past two years, and he seems unlikely to regain the form that took him to seven consecutive Pro Bowls from 2003 to 2009. The Titans gave him $6 million guaranteed, which is a lot of money for a player who might very well only last one season with his new team. If Hutchinson were named Steve James and had the same level of skills at the same age without any pedigree, he'd have gotten a one-year deal for $900,000.
Kansas City added depth at tight end by signing Kevin Boss to a three-year deal. Boss should compete with Tony Moeaki for playing time at tight end, but he should also allow the Chiefs to go with two-tight end sets more frequently in 2012. At this point, Boss's name is more prominent than his actual performance. He never developed after an impressive playoff run as a rookie, and he's now had both the Giants and Raiders give up on him in back-to-back years. It's telling that the Giants, in need of a tight end after their incumbents seemingly all tore their ACLs during the Super Bowl, opted for Cowboys malcontent Martellus Bennett over Boss when the Raiders released Boss last week.
The Redskins continued their march toward their own tails by nabbing Brandon Meriweather with $6 million on a two-year deal. Maybe the NFL took the Redskins' ability to watch game film away, too, because Meriweather's been a disaster over the past two years. As bad as he was in New England, Meriweather's famously poor game against the Lions in October should have sealed his fate as a replacement-level safety. The problem is that Meriweather fancies himself a brilliant freelancer in the vein of Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed, but Meriweather lacks the athleticism of Polamalu and the instincts of Reed, which leads to disastrous decisions and big plays for the opposition. The Redskins will hope that Meriweather can replace the injured and departing LaRon Landry, but history suggests that he'll become the latest symbol of how bad the Redskins are at this whole player-evaluation thing.

All Critics (124) | Top Critics (35) | Fresh (106) | Rotten (17) | DVD (20)
The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi begins life as a straight-up samurai movie, evolves into a slapstick comedy and ends as a rousing, tap-dancing musical.
This non-traditional samurai movie isn't for kids.
Violent and bloody, carefully choreographed and filled with dry humor, Takeshi Kitano's modern take on the classic Japanese character is a unique vision that's told with confidence.
Zatoichi is a bloody film that also manages to be beautiful and funny.
Three-frame cuts of the action from multiple camera angles, hose-spurted blood and superimposed wounds do what they can in their primitive way to get you past the problem of improbability.
Seen now, sans all the hype and hoopla)...we can gauge Kitano's production for what it truly is - a compelling and quite complex bit of fractured folklore.
Beat Takeshi's take on the Zatoichi storyline is very entertaining and continuously original...
I freely admit that I have not been seduced by Takeshi Kitano's films, no, not even Hana-Bi.
The result meanders, but provides a few exciting moments.
Zatoichi is a mix-and-match crowd-pleaser that shouldn't add up, but delightfully does.
Imposing, yet often intimate. Abrasive, but amusing. Arty, but eminently accessible. Bring on the sequel.
However improbably, Kitano pulls it off quite gloriously. Admittedly, this isn't one of his most idiosyncratic, innovative or, indeed, satisfying works, but it's without doubt fast, funny, fabulous to behold.
Parecer�a que Kitano se est� divirtiendo, m�s que nada.
� uma pena que esta tenha sido, provavelmente, a �nica incurs�o de Kitano pelo universo de Zatoichi. Seria bom ver o samurai cego mais vezes.
A rich display of fantasy swordsplay at its goriest, slickest and most demanding.
Despite its period setting, it's a return to the combination of slapstick humor, dramatic intrigue, and sudden bloodshed that distinguished his early efforts. In other words, it's vintage Kitano.
I'd call Zatoichi stylish to the point of distraction, except I'm not sure what I was being distracted from.
For those unfamiliar with such films, Zatoichi might be a little off-putting. But given a chance, the movie can be pretty entertaining.
Zatoichi triumphs where few movies dare to tread
This ain't your sensei's samurai film.
Audience Reviews for Zat�ichi (The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi)
Super Reviewer
By all means, I am no fan of the genre of the Samurai swordsman, but I can still expect more than slow story-telling, wooden acting and unfunny slapstick. It doesn't help that the swords, wounds and the gushing blood are computer animated and you see it. Sure, the film doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's still plain boring at times. Given the mostly positive reviews I expected a lot more but this did not work for me on any level. Maybe it's the Western world viewing expectations, maybe it's me. Maybe the film is just crap, though. I gave up after an hour.

'Beat' Takeshi Kitano made his name as a standup comedian before entering into cinema with a surprising array of serious and very violent roles. Here he tries to recapture the successful character who was a popular figure in Japanese film & television throughout the 1960's to the 1980's.
Nineteenth-century blind nomad known as a gambler and masseur is also a lightning-fast master swordsman who stumbles into a town run by gangs and a powerful samurai. When he meets two geishas who are out to avenge their parents' murder, the fireworks begin.
I've never seen the very successful series of films or television program of which this is based upon, so i'm not in a position to compare but it doesn't hinder the enjoyment of this visceral yet playful bloodfest. Kitano stages the whole yarn in a very theatrical style, with extremely exagerrated bloodletting, combined with an excellent soundtrack to fit with the rythmic moments and movements from the characters, like workers plowing the fields or rain pattering off an umbrella. It's beautifully shot and really captures the ingriguing Japanese culture with several stunning shots. As much as I admire the almost mystical and stoic tradition of the Japanese, I'm not the biggest Samurai fan, so the whole thing worked for me only to a certain degree. However, if your a fan of swordplay, then this will be right up your kimono.
There's no denying the visual style throughout this serene yet kinetic bloodbath. It's like an eastern spaghetti western, but if your not interested in the genre then harikari may be a better option for you.
Super Reviewer
A wandering blind masseur with unsurpassed skills as a swordsman finds himself allied with a quirky collection of misfits against a ruthless criminal gang, including a brother and sister impersonating a pair of geishas and an unlucky would-be gambler. I'm a big fan of Beat Takeshi, and I love samurai movies so I was never going to dislike this film. It's my first non-gangster piece from him and I have to say, it's got to be my favourite; the great cast of likeable oddballs feel like real people rather than resorting to the kind of contrived wackiness of many indie style films, and it has a mix of ingredients such as a wide streak of gentle humour and even a musical tap number(!) that just don't sound like they'd fit in with a samurai film, but somehow it works! The explosions of artful violence are beautifully done, with an inventive use of CGI to represent the gushing blood that looks like splashes of vibrant red paint against the subdued tones of Beat Takeshi's cinematic canvas. An inventive and beautiful looking samurai film that is a worthy successor to the heritage of Akira Kurosawa.

Seminars @ Calvin - Application Deadline Approaching
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 (Around 3 years ago)
Dear Colleague, I writing to encourage you to give some thought to joining a summer seminar here at Calvin College. For the past 16 seasons, we have been running these live-in sessions on topics of high interest, convened by the best and brightest of the Christian academy.
These seminars, says Mark Noll, distinguished historian of American intellectual and religious life, are "Calvin College's special contribution to the life of the evangelical mind." They "offer opportunities for scholars from different Christian traditions to address important intellectual questions" and advance their own research and teaching.
Says Jay Case of Malone College, the author of An Unpredictable Gospel (Oxford, 2012), a new study of foreign missions' impact on America, "a Seminar in Christian Scholarship reoriented my thinking in significant ways. The seminar added to the work on this book, but I am grateful for that reorientation."
Scholars in many fields, including the natural sciences, philosophy and the social sciences have benefited deeply. Here is what several from last summer have told us:
"It really refreshed me as a scholar, both personally and professionally. Like a breath of fresh air."
"It was easily one of the most formative experiences in my young academic career."
"It is positively refreshing to study under Christian scholars for whom the pursuit of wisdom does not merely consist in intellectual exercises. The charity, humility, and grace toward every participant [the leaders showed] are worth more than all of the theorizing in the world. "
Because our seminars are grant-funded, there is little cost to participate — mostly travel to Calvin College and some food while you are here. The grants cover the cost of housing, books and materials and some meals as well as a few social events.
As you will see from the website, we have a stunningly good lineup for this coming summer, and we are hoping that you will apply. In case you have not heard of the program until just now, we are extending our applications deadline until February 10 in order to give you a chance at one of the seminar seats. We would love to host you and your family this coming summer.
Join us, won't you?
Cordially, Joel A. Carpenter Director

06.07.07 - By Zhenyu Li: The last time we saw the Ukrainian giant at the summit of the sweet science is about more than four years ago when the WBO heavyweight king with a splendid record of 38-1, 36 KOs stopped Jameel "The Big Time" McCline by a 10th round TKO in Mandalay Bay. Then, the crown of the king was dethroned by a foreign intruder named Corrie Sanders who brutally floored the king three times in just two rounds and smashed his dignity of being a king. The off-balanced champion stumbled forward with his hands held high but with little sense of equilibrium as he tottered across the ring before collapsing face first to the canvas for the final time. The referee waved off the bout that folded a chapter of supremacy. On the night of April 10th, 2004, after scoring two more comeback victories, the former world champion had a chance to redeem himself. Not only to resurrect, but also a great opportunity to climb back to the top and regain his crown. His foe was a 6'1" straight-headed 8-to-1 underdog who gave up five-inches in height. It sounds like a perfect opponent for redemption. As expected, the fight went on well in favor of Klitschko in the early rounds. The former king looked as imposing as he had in his old kingdom. The underdog was kept at bay by the stinging jabs thrown from the Ukrainian giant, absorbing ridiculous punishment that included a third round tumble to the deck. In the fourth, Klitschko scored with a chopping right hand behind the ear and dropped Brewster to the floor. It seemed that its just a matter of time before Klitschko knocked Brewster cold to the canvas. But something weird happened. After scoring that knockdown, Klitschko suddenly looked exhausted, breathing heavily with his mouth wide open. In the fifth, he had no punches. He could barely clinch his opponent gulping for air. A series of right and left hooks from Brewster prompted a standing eight count against Klitschko. When the one-sided action resumed Klitschko was a spent shell. He fell onto the floor after a struggle with Brewster on the ropes at the bell. It wasn't so much a clean punch as it was utterly mysterious fatigue. The former king took one more staggering step to his corner when the referee waved off the fight at the bell. There was much speculation about Klitschkos abrupt fatigue. Many called it a stamina problem of Klitschko that cost him the fight, while others thought it was not that simple. Veteran referee Robert Byrd explained afterwards that hed never seen a knockout victim display such bizarre symptoms. Legitimate or bizarre, it still remains to this day a mystery Three years had passed, with the tutorship of legendary trainer Emanuel Steward along with resolve and discipline, Klitschko had improved dramatically in terms of his balance, left jab, stamina and most importantly, confidence. He bagged the IBF belt by scoring a one-sided 7th round TKO over the longest reigning heavyweight champion Chris Byrd in April 2006, scored a 7th round TKO over the then undefeated American budding star Calvin Brock seven months later and then, in his last fight, halted the outgunned Ray Austin in just two rounds, dispatching all three tough oppositions in such a devastating fashion. On July 7, Klitschko will face his old foe Brewster for their second encounter. The king has returned, and is set to take the revenge!

Comparing Two Of J.R. Smith's Amazing Reverse Alley-oops by Patrick Johnson 2 Comments
...this dude would be a very good player if he didn't get so reckless with the rock @ times.
October 16, 2012 BY John Kim / 4
Yes, we're talkin' 'bout practice and not an actual NBA game, but what went down at Knicks training facility and J.R. Smith is worth noting. During a team training camp, Knicks guard and noted sneakerhead J.R. Smith was spotted with the Nike LeBron X 'Carbon', a shoe that LeBron himself just recently wore over the weekend in a pre-season game in Shanghai. Typically, no other NBA player gets to rock a pair of LeBrons before the man himself has done so in an NBA Game, and even with the 9, only a small handful of players even wore the LeBrons deep into the season (Ty Lawson and George Hill are the two that come to mind). Considering the 'Carbon' has yet to release in the states (November 10th is the confirmed release date at this point), it's interesting to see that J.R. sought after these Blackout LeBrons and made the decision to wear 'em at his own pleasure. Will the LeBron X be J.R.'s go-to choice for this season?

hell i figured i just couldnt find the answers on google,, i thought it has already been layed out and just waiting to be signed with the price gouging im seen here in tx especially on southeasttexas.com i though maybe this had already been answered else where the same dpms sportacal that Walmart sells for 599 is now going for 3000 used on there,, maybe im crazy but i just dont see why a sane person would buy some thing that overpriced with out knowing if the ban was going in to effect for sure
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of."

If someone offered me $3000 for my AR, I'd do well not to rip their arm off in excitement...
is it not like that where you guys are,, cause here it is like that see for your self www.southeasttexas.com go to classifieds and then firearms
Texan By Birth & Choice USMC/VIET NAM VET
maybe i just dont get it,, but selling cheap gi mags for 100 bucks a pop just seems wrong
Its all just talk so far. It will almost certainly not be more restrictive than the old ban. In the old ban parts where widely available except for lower receivers, which were considered the controlled item. Retroactive laws are 100 unconstitutional, we know the criminal efforts of California's "gov't" but tryin to enact something similiar on a national scale which be much harder. I will not sell my guns at huge prices since i do not wish to take advantage of fellow gun owners.

Youth exiting the foster care system face numerous obstacles in their transition to successful adulthood. Research has documented that many of the approximately 20,000 youth who age out of foster care each year face a host of negative outcomes including homelessness, low educational achievement, and underemployment. In response, policymakers, foundations, and communities are developing innovative strategies for supporting successful transitions to adulthood for youth aging out of foster care.
This Information Resource Center provides links to resources on how to develop and sustain supports and services for youth transitioning out of foster care. It is supported by the Foster Care Work Group, a group of national foundations who have come together to develop a shared vision and investments to support more successful transitions for youth aging out of foster care. The Resource Center is organized based on the framework described in Connected By 25: A Plan for Investing in Successful Futures for Foster Youth which lays out five key strategies for supporting youth who were formerly in foster care and promoting successful transitions to adulthood.
Education ~ Academic, enrichment, and support programs
Workforce ~ Initiatives to teach job skills and provide work experience
Financial Literacy ~ Activities to acquire financial knowledge and skills
Savings and Asset Building ~ Individual Development Accounts and other savings initiatives
Entrepreneurship ~ Opportunities to create and operate a business
In addition to economic success, permanency is also a critical component for successful transitions to adulthood for youth leaving the foster care system. This Resource Center also includes links to resources related to research, policy and practice to support the formation of lifelong connections to caring adults.
This Information Resource Center provides links to resources on research, best practice, policy and funding as well to organizations working on issues affecting youth in care. It includes resources that specifically address youth aging out of foster care, as well as more general youth resources that can inform the development of supports for youth transitioning from care.

The 11 Best Game of Thrones Cosplayers at Florida Supercon 2014
Each year, Florida Supercon attracts all sorts of fanatics, ranging from comic book lovers to lovers of comic book movies; from hidden-in-plain-sight X-Men to Hogwarts students taking a field trip other than to Hogsmeade; and from Dr. Who theorists to Star Wars enthusiasts. Carolina del Busto
You get the idea. It's a huge turnout and guests love to dress up. This year, however, since two of the special guests were from a little show you may have heard of called Game of Thrones, there was one particular fandom that dominated the cosplaying aspect of the convention.
Instead of seeing Stormtroopers galore, there were dozens of Khaleesi impersonators and even a merry gang made up of Little Finger, Joffrey, and Khal Drogo.
Check out our eleven favorite Game of Thrones inspired costumes.

Ive just picked up an 03 1.8 tdci estate.115,00 miles Full service history.
I have just given it a full service and all seems ok apart from the steering. I have read that the power steering fluid gets contanimated and mine is jet black. I have syringed the resevoir out two or three times and will do it again in another week or so. The main problem is that I think the steering is a little on the heavy side (nothing I cant live with) but when the steering wheel is dead centre it takes a liitle bit of force to get it turning but once you overcome this its fine. I read about Mondeos with notchy steering and it sounds exactly like my problem (this is cured by silicon grease on the steering UJ's) I wondered if it could be this?
All help greatly received
Thanks Mark

(13) Gonzaga 66
Loyola Mary 74
9:05 PM ET, February 18, 2010
Gersten Pavilion, Los Angeles, California
Loyola Marymount scores first upset vs. ranked team since '90
LOS ANGELES -- Ashley Hamilton beckoned his fellow students to celebrate with him on the court after leading Loyola Marymount to its biggest victory in 20 years.
Hamilton scored 17 points and Drew Viney had 16 points, 10 rebounds and five assists to lead the Lions to a 74-66 upset of Gonzaga (No. 9 ESPN/USA Today, No. 13 AP) on Thursday night.After the final horn sounded, Hamilton and teammate Vernon Teel stood on the press tables and waved students onto the court. About 150 spectators overwhelmed campus security to mob the players."We just wanted to share that experience with them," said Hamilton, who tied a career high with three blocks. "Everybody talks about beating Gonzaga. To finally do it as a team, as a campus, as a community is a special feeling."Loyola Marymount beat Gonzaga for just the third time in 31 meetings since 1996.The victory was the Lions' first over a ranked team since the 1990 NCAA tournament, when they defeated Alabama in the West Regional semifinals. That was the team that featured Bo Kimble and the late Hank Gathers.Reserve Larry Davis, a transfer from Seton Hall, added 12 points for the Lions (14-13, 5-6 West Coast Conference), who have won four of six. Kevin Young added 11 points and Jarred DuBois had 10 points."I always thought they had a very, very talented crew," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said of the Lions. "I mean, they've got a lot of pieces. For the most part, they consistently beat us to the basketball time and time again."Not since December could Loyola Marymount coach Max Good use his full complement of players."We had our full team probably for the first time since Long Beach State and Notre Dame," Good said of early season games. "Tonight, we had four guards and they were huge."Elias Harris had 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulldogs (21-5, 9-2), who had won 13 of their last 14, while Demetri Goodson and Steven Gray added 11 points apiece.But Gonzaga shot just 34.4 percent from the field and Harris missed seven of 11 shots."He didn't shoot well but that was because of our defense," Viney said. "We really made sure we knew where he was every moment of every play. He's a special player and we had to put all of our attention on him to stop him."Gonzaga, which led by as many as 10 points in the first half, was up 41-36 28 seconds into the second half when Loyola Marymount started its rally.Young scored six points during a 14-4 run that put the Lions ahead 50-45 with 13:22 to play. The Bulldogs missed seven of their first eight shots from the field in the half."We had some really good looks," Few said. "We got some point-blankers. But we pretty much got throttled on our inside play and we thought we had a decided advantage in there."Harris' 3-pointer narrowed Gonzaga's deficit to 52-50 but Loyola Marymount used a 14-6 run to go ahead 66-56 with 4:21 remaining.The Bulldogs drew within 68-64 with 1:20 left, but Davis's layup on an inbounds pass from Vernon Teel as the shot clock expired extended the Lions' lead to six points with 43 seconds to play."That was a huge play," Good said of Davis' layup. "If we miss that and they get running, they could cut (the lead) to two. That's almost a four-point switch. But you could see the air kind of went out of them."Loyola Marymount scored 18 points in the paint and forced Gonzaga to miss 20 of 27 shots in the second half. The Bulldogs scored just 10 points, all on free throws, in a span of 7:15 during that half.At one point during the game, Good appeared to put his left hand on the neck of player Kevin Young while on the bench. But late Thursday night, Good told ESPN.com that he was calming Young down and didn't grab him by the neck."He's extremely child-like and emotional,'' Good said. "His man had scored twice and I took him out. We were going to put him back in. He was saying it wasn't my fault and I hate this, and hate that. It was an emotional situation. There's no way I grabbed him by the neck. I was trying to calm him down. I didn't choke him at all.''ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz contributed to this report.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

These are who the two witnesses are...
The Two Olive Trees
The Revelation of the Two Witnesses
The "two olive trees" is another name given for the "two witnesses" or the "two anointed ones" that stand before the Lord of the whole earth in Revelation 11 and Zechariah 4
Revelation 11:3-4
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Zechariah 4:11-14
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
There is great speculation and debate as to who the two witnesses are. The most popular theory is the theory that Moses and Elijah are the two witnesses because they were on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus or Enoch and Elijah, based on the fact that they never died.
The truth is in the scriptures and the Lord laid out the answers in them and in the construction of the temple as He did with Jesus, the Lamb of God. Let's take a look.
I Kings 6:21-28
21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
25 And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
27 And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
28 And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
Here is the first mention of the "two olive trees" as two cherubims. They were in the temple because of their place in the Kingdom of Heaven, which would at the end come to earth. First, Immanuel had to come, the first born of many brothers.
Romans 8:29-30
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Jesus was the firstborn of those here on earth who came from Heaven. The firstborn of those who were with the Father before the foundations of the earth. The word "foreknow" means to have intimate knowledge of beforehand. The Father had intimate knowledge because these brothers like the Lord Jesus were with the Father before their incarnation here on earth. Jesus was over all of Heaven and had to come to earth to suffer as a man in perfect obedience to the Father in order to be given the glory He had with the Father in Heaven here on earth. This is why He was given all authority in Heaven and Earth. He overcame every obstacle that men face and never once sinned. The scriptures clearly declare that the earth is waiting for and longing for the manifestation or revealing of these "sons of God" into the earth.
Romans 8:18-19
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
So the "two olive trees" will be the "two cherubim" incarnated into earthen vessels as Immanuel was for the 1260 days of His ministry. Their ministry will be 1260 days as well, completing the second half of Daniel's 70th week.
The scriptures give us further clues that the two olive trees are two cherubim and who they are.
Scott Hofstee
YAH does not deal in incarnation and reincarnation... Don't mix the wine of babel with the water of live from Yah!!!
Yahoshua is called son of man for a reason... I suggested study scripture without your pastor and ask Yah to make these things clear to you.
That of the 1260 day-years is incorrect. The beast was permitted to continue 42 months, the woman (which is the original and authentic nation of Israel) was hidden for 1290 days. Nowhere in scripture I have found the reference of these 42months connected to these two witnesses.
In revelation it is clear that those two witnesses would give their testimony and preach for 3 and a half days for
the whole world to see and take note
They would have the power to shut heaven and to cease rainfall. Since Yah operates still in the ways as can be read throughout the whole book, it is probable that those two witnesses will be intune and anointed by Yah, like AliYah when contending with the priests of Baal, or Moshe in the sight of the Pharao or Yahoshua when he healed the sick and raised up the dead.
The power Yahoshua hath been given, restoring live, was a token of Yah's endorsement of him. No one has authority over life and death only Yah. These two witnesses will die and will be left unburried also for the whole world to see, and the whole world would be glad that they died and would celebrate this, this indicates to me two people of flesh and blood. Their resurrection would be a testimony to YAH the living Alohaym!!! And that too will be witnessed by the whole world.
Yah's name is in the volume of the book. In other words his Modus Operandi, or the way he deals which is to be recognized as inherently and undisputably his way of acting, can be read all throughout scripture
. These two witnesses are from his anointed, his nation the people of Israel (not Jews nor B'nai Brit who both are a farce and imposters).
All and all, these two witnesses of Yah will come with a stern message and a forboding, only a small group will adhere and recognize who they are. They themselve by the time of their "ministry" will act according to Yah's will and not be lead by popular opinion or the so-called wisdom of pagan philosophies. Therefor the world will not know them nor support them!!! Just like Yahoshua would not be recognized by those who call him Jezus (as he himself says that on his return he will rebuke many) let alone by those who think he never excisted.
The ways of Yah are not the ways of this world and that which comes from Yah will be greatly abhored by millions!!!
