The 17 Mach 2 is a 22 Long Rifle case necked down to hold a 17 caliber bullet. It is not a variation of the 17 Magnum Rimfire and is not interchangeable with it. This ammunition is loaded with the polymer-tipped V-Max bullet which makes it up to 60% faster than a 22 Long Rifle round.

Next purchase
I've decided I'm going to purchase either a Springfield Trapdoor, Winchester model 1894, Ruger Mini 14, some type of Mauser, or a Colt 1911 (sorta odd isn't it?). What do y'all think about these choices?
All I caught was the important part, Colt 1911.
I can help you spend your money there!
I have a few on your list. Send me a PM if interested. JP
2 of those are modern production.
3 of those are dated models (not talking about the 1911 though, lol).
What do you have already? I recommend getting practical & modern stuff before expanding into older classics.
I've got a Mosin Nagant, Remington 58 Sportsman, Ruger SR9c, Arisaka type 38, and a Springfield 1911A1 Mil-Spec.
sounds like its time to ad an AR to that list. lol.. no i would go with the mini 14 or the mauser
I'm leaning towards the Mini 14, but I really would love to have the Springfield Trapdoor however I know I wouldn't fire it a whole lot. I think I want to purchase the Trapdoor, because I love military firearms and also it's one of the most unique firearms IMO that's been in our military service, but funds would be very strained if I purchased it plus I don't reload 45-70 so most of the ammunition I would have to order since no one carries it locally.
I guess I've narrowed it down to the Mini 14, Mauser, and Colt 1911, but the biggest problem with the Colt is they're very hard to find where I live, and when I do find them it's either not the particular model I'm looking for or funds do not permit at the time.
I would go for a Mauser. The '98 is still produced by Mauser in a number of configurations. Whether it is a 100 year old rifle, or a new one, the action is the same. I belong to another site that is strickly hunting. I get dogged all the time for using "dated" rifles/actions/calibers. The Model 700 has 2 opposing locking lugs forward and a 3 lug at the rear. That is the same configuration as the 1898 Mauser. The extracter is were the difference lyes. The 700 is a modified Mauser. It was introduced 64 years after the '98. All of my hunters are Mausers, or modified Mauser actions. All of my target guns are Mausers or again, modified Mauser actions.
Next is the Mini14, Where did that action come from? The M1 Garand. Late 1930's technology. Not quite modern.
Almost every firearm produced for the public uses 70+ year old technology. Don't ever believe it when someone states something is dated. The newest operating mechinism these days comes from the early '60's. The AR15.
Every single action from the last 150 years has a modern purpose. Just because it is not black, and plastic does not make it obselete!
Sorry Marthor, not sure where you get your ideas, but you are way off base.
F4E, I have a perfect early 27/47 that I would part with if you are interested. I also have an early Wilson 1911 FS.
You've got a semi auto shotgun and two bolt action rifles. You have the SA 1911 and the Ruger SR9c. You need a semi auto rifle for SHTF. Get a Mini 14 and buy lots of ammunition for it.
I think I'm going to go with the Mini 14. I handle one in one of my favorite local shops yesturday, and it reminded me so much of the M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, and M1A. The only thing I did not like about it was what I think was a heat shield on top of the barrel. I found it just very odd and uncomfortable with it forcing my fingers onto the very bottom of the stock almost. Does anyone know of a website or two that have various Mini 14 accessories for sale?

On the morning of February 4th, actress Lotlot de Leon was rushed to the hospital due to a fever.
The actress was taping the upcoming GMA TV series, 'Destined To Be Yours' last Friday morning when she felt ill.
"Actually po, umaga pa lang, sa bahay pa lang, medyo masama na ang pakiramdam ko," she clarifed in an interview with a popular news site.
"Pero since may taping nga ako, hindi ko pinansin, inisip ko nung una giniginaw lang ako." Lotlot proceeded to go to her scheduled taping at Shaw Boulevard. They even moved to K-2 Kamuning, Quezon City to finish filming another scene there – this time with Alden Richards.
However, Lotlot's chills grew as the day progressed.
"Pero, in between takes, nakabalabal ako ng kumot kasi nga giniginaw ako," she said.
"Inaalis ko na lang ang kumot kapag magte-take na,"
Twelve sequences had to be filmed with Lotlot's scenes. It was during the second to the last scene that Lotlot had to stop taping.
"Hindi ko na makayang alisin ang kumot ko kasi nagtsi-chill na ako, tapos ang init-init ko na," Lotlot admits.
"Nag-aalala na ang lahat ng tao sa set, yung production ng GMA, pati si Alden nag-worry na, binigyan pa niya ako ng gamot sa flu."
She was undeniably too sick to continue with the day's fliming.
"The people sa set, gusto na nila akong dalhin sa ospital, pero sabi ko ayoko, sabi ko hihintayin ko na lang si Fadi. I just wanna go home and rest."
Even Lotlot's romantic partner Lebanese businessman Fadi El Soury had offered to take her to the hospital.
She declined, stating: "Dumiretso na kami ng uwi sa bahay."
However Lotlot's fever and chills grew worse during the early morning hours of Saturday. That's when Fadi decided to take Lotlot to the hospital in Alabang.
The actress was fitted with dextrose and given medication during her stay. Thankfully, the actress' fever went down and she was discharged from the hospital.
Now she's at home recuperating.
Besides GMA's 'Destined To Be Yours' starring Alden and Maine Mendoza, Lotlot will appear in a new movie produced by Star Cinema will fellow actors Kathryn Bernardo at Daniel Padilla.
We wish you a speedy recovery!
Let us hear your thoughts over this close-call in the comments!

Post subject: Interest in the Town
"We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. Yet somehow we think we can grow, feeding on flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality.
Do you know the legend of Hercules and Antaeus, the giant wrestler, whose strength was incredible so long as he stood firmly on the earth? But when he was held, rootless, in midair, by Hercules, he perished easily."
-Faber, Fahrenheit 451 (by Ray Bradbury).
I have been noticing a certain lack in Town, for a long time. I think all of us have. We've all raised our concern over it, one way or another, but we quiet, let our murmurs subside.
The above quote summarizes my current viewpoint on what is going on- in Town, all there is is talking, relationships, people saying "how swell!" or "that's awful!" or "look at that monster who is eating everyone in this tavern! Atrocious!" There's no
No, it's not all about fights and evil villains, but Town is about character development, character lives- things that they do... is sitting around chatting using your character to talk to someone else's character really going to make you happy? Hm?
It can- character interaction is a major basis of Town. However, right now I want to put an emphasis on "A." Character interaction- namely speaking to each other- is not the only thing here. It is "a" basis. One. One of many.
I have gone through character after character, hoping to find someone that works- and I've finally figured out why I liked Aesa so much. It isn't that she was an amazingly built character- it's that she could make things happen. She was chaotic, a whirlwind with enough power to fling things around and start stuff going, or end it.
My other characters are dying off not because of some problem innate to them, but the fact that they have nothing to do- they are dying the death of stifled life. The characters that I have been persistent with only are around because I've connected them into interesting things that I do and draw others into (if only a few others.)
What happened to the plots? The random invaders? The places that needed looting? Someone from your past coming to hunt you down? We've always joked about people not caring about things going on- but it wasn't as terrible as it is now. Why are people deliberately choosing not to get involved, not have anything happen that's interesting for them? Is it just because it is easier? Taking the path of least resistance?
Town is not just built on characters. Town is built on action and adventure- made from DnD! An adventurer needs a goal or something to do... without it, he becomes dull and ordinary.
I personally have decided to take up a sort of "DM" role in Town. I'm going to craft adventures, things to be solved that people can get involved in or not. People that need to be captured by police and mercenaries, merchants that want their competition taken care of and dungeons that need looting- I'll make them all.
But I can't do this alone. Just because something is out there doesn't mean it will be used or taken advantage of, and I don't want to have to craft every point of interest. People need to take on the burden of crafting for others and using what people have made, so as to bring life to Town again, rather than all this stagnation we've been going through.
So please, just start acting in Town, rather than sitting around and talking over a beer in Trog's.

One reason why plots don't happen is simple. I've often tried to think of a way to play a plot/invasion out, then I think of the all important question: how to stop the ubers from nuking the plot before it gets off the ground. The answer? There isn't an easy way, and trying to make it work for
uber is impossible. So the idea gets dropped.
I often look back at the previous plots, the ones I enjoyed (the dragoeth, Loki, Dionysus etc), and they can't happen in the town that currently stands. Because the villain would get shot down and the plot would be over.
The way to solve this? All the ubers stay out of plots. The chances of that happening? Next to none.

The reason plots die is because of lack of interest. I've never encountered an uber in any of my plots.

I'll get involved. I like town, and it's fun. I've got a plot of my own in the works, of course, that's what Endrik is for. Though he'll probably become a more major part of Town both before and after his plot is over.
My problem is that I don't seem to have enough time to do everything I want to do. I play WoW with friends, ditto roleplaying, I have a job, and warhammer, and comics, and some other interests. I've got a leatherworking project I started a few days ago that I haven't found time to work on since.
So I'll be here, yes. And I'll participate. And my characters, as always, will scale to the relative level of the plot they're in, but I can't promise I'll be here every day. I'll try, but even I need to sleep sometimes.

Vael as DM? God help us all.
I agree somewhat. Personally, I'd much rather develop Axl and Raistlin and the others by talking, and forming relationships, because fighting plots take a good amount of time, and I'm just not really a fan of them. That said, plots are good for the town, and they are fun once in a while. Ekrath (who has no friends), will be game for anything you can throw at him, and The Mercenaries will rarely turn down a job. I know this is basically a plug, but that's why they are there. Do get involved in plots and adventures and such.

Well if all goes according to plan, I've got a good plot that will get underway in soon. Before elections start hopefully.
But I'll also have some characters free to get involved in your plan as well. Just time can sometimes be an issue because of school and parents and all. But I'll be on when I can.

I had a great amount of fun in Town when my characters were fighting against all odds in a war against the planar forces of unyielding law.
I had a great amount of fun in Town when I got to pull a spontaneous headless exploding chicken invasion every now and then.
I had a great amount of fun in Town when one of my characters squared off in a death duel with another one of my characters.
I had a great amount of fun in Town when the Zerg came along for a visit.
Heck, I even had a great amount of fun in Town when my characters were being pulverized by a host of everyone else's characters.
All of them is fighting scenes.
However, I do not even remember a single moment where any of my characters simply sat, talked, and got "Character Development," so utterly boring the scene must have been to my mind.
Maybe something like a war, invasion, or just a good battle has happened since I last checked Town some weeks ago. I don't know, because it hasn't whacked me over the head with a two-by-four and demanded my absolute attention yet. If something like that did happen to me (After nursing the bump on my head), I would actually consider returning to Town activity - Gods know I have the time to spare, now.

It sounds like we are on the other side of the pendulum swing. First it was "too much talk, not enough action" then it was "we can't RP without someone showing up to take over Town" and we can repeat that about 4 times and we'll be where we are now. While I'm gone most of March, I hope to be more active in April and Atreyu is always paranoid about whatever is trying to take over Town.

Problem with fights, at least ones that I usually use to start plots is that no one follows leads. They kind of sit there and go, "Oh, I see what she's doing." Then makes it their work to actually stop a plot from happening, as if a slight bit of resolvable conflict would kill their characters or inconvenience them in some way.
I've held a few interesting scenarios, and never had a problem with an uber due to my way, way, outside the box thinking. I play weaknesses, odd magics, and minions for when Ubers come along, and usually have some sort of puzzle to solve before the conflict is over, rather than a straight fight. There are many ways to castrate Ubers that are all muscles and no brains, and make fun, interesting plots with little or even no fighting at times. But *shrugs* Nobody has learned how to take bait, like you clearly have to label it plot or something... It's not the way I roll, and probably why I haven't actually been on in some time...

Been doing some thinking on this matter, and I think the problem is that Town has become too over-populated, too big and crowded. I'm not talking about the many new members we've seen lately, but long ago the number of characters suddenly began to explode, and it's continued since. I remember once, around when I came to Town, having more than 3 characters or so was considered a lot. I even think Wukei had a special permission from the counsil to have many characters. Then suddenly it exploded and within a short time just about everyone had atleast 10 characters running around, and perhaps it became a bit of a sport to have as many as possible. Then it became something people took for granted. It's no longer odd to see someone have a lot of characters, and with the rise in members we have a small legion or more of characters by now, some more active than others.
Some people, myself included, realised that perhaps having so many characters to deal with, including their individual plots and stuff, became a serious burden. So lately I've seen a number of people actively try to reduce their number of active characters, I know I have. Having many characters makes it hard to really focus on anything, I think, and for me I ended up never feeling I had the time to just hang out in Trog's or get involved in random plots, either because all my characters had their own agendas or because I was already involved in too many threads. I'm notoriously bad at multitasking, more than 2 threads are often too much for me to follow at once, so even the 5 characters I have now can sometimes be too many. Others can probably do better, but everyone has a limit.
That's not new, I think this problem has been brought up before. But there's another side to this huge number of characters. I may not be as active around Town currently, but I don't think I know even a fraction of the characters in Town anymore, I don't even know most of those who are often active. And I know even less about what goes on, plots or just random events or stuff. I simply can't keep up if I want even a semblance of life outside Town, and even if I did spend as much time as I used to do I still doubt I'd be able to keep up. Even though I read every post in Inari's, I still don't know what goes on there sometimes because I have no idea who the characters that keep coming in are, what their story is or what they are up to at the moment.
Long ago, in the beginning, I'd like to think I knew every single character and it was rare I didn't know what went on in various places. Now I barely know what goes on in Inari's, and nothing of what goes on elsewhere unless someone posts about it in the stickies (which I always read too).
I find it really hard to get involved in anything anymore, either because I have no idea what goes on, or because I have no idea who all the people around me are, and to get involved with them you often have to know them already and have some connection IC or whatever. I'm simply overwhelmed and can't keep up, so I guess the simplest way of putting it is that I've very nearly given up on all of it.
Also, often I think the massive speed with which everything happens, because of the huge number of characters available to do things, makes people just give up. I think many think to themselves "I'll have to go in a few hours, I'm not staying on all night, so why get involved when the whole thing will be solved before morning and I'll have to go before it gets moving at all?" It used to be no problem that people had to go for the night, because the plot would just be paused and next night it'd be picked up again, so that everyone could participate equally. Now it seems like most things are solved in a matter of minutes, and the bigger plots take a few hours, unless they are special enough to get a thread of their own.
I'm not going to suggest any rules against the number of characters or whatever, that wouldn't help, but I am going to suggest that perhaps people should stop to think twice before adding a character to the list, and perhaps limit the number of places and plot and things going on, so that we can focus on something instead of getting completely blown off and overwhelmed by the sheer number of things all around.
I like consistency, and I like those who only have one or two characters or so, the same ones they've always had, because I can keep up with them. The llama? Same character as always (changed from his time in Town, naturally, but deep down still the same Atreyu), always there, always consistent. I only have to get to know him once, then I can focus on playing the rest of the time.
I see Town as a social thing, a circle of friends sort of, and if you know noone then you're not part of the circle, and then it's hard to find the motivation to post. That's how I feel sometimes. I feel like I barely know anyone around here anymore, even those I used to play a lot with, because many of their characters are unknown to me.
That's why I think we only have interaction, no action. I stick to what I know, what little I'm still involved in, because I can't find the energy or will to really get involved in anything new anymore.

I think we have a couple of things going on.
One is simply a run of bad luck in Real Life. A lot of the people who normally run plots and stories have been unavailable for one reason or another. Like Atreyu said, this runs in cycles; and chances are good that many of us will all come back to active Towning all at once, and we will once again see the opposite complaint.
But I also do think Deadly has a very valid point: Back when everyone had one or two characters, it was easier to know what was going on. Even for your own characters, it is just not possible to really keep up with more than two or three active characters (and that's a lot of work). That is the biggest reason that I've dumped most of mine.
But the impact is much more than that. I've been thinking about this myself, and I've identified two major areas of difficulty.
One, the trend toward "create a character for every situation" has led to a place where we don't interact as players as much as we used to. Look at one huge symptom: Why can't
of the service related places keep afloat? I think it is mostly because we have come to a state where if we need some skill in a plot, we all too often create a character to fill the gap rather than looking for someone to help out. But with everybody playing a fully-rounded adventuring party just with their own characters, it means that between you and one or two friends you can do pretty much anything without bothering to involve anyone else. While this can be convenient for resolving time-zone related issues, it really does dampen the multi-player aspects of this game.
The other is something that I have heard brought up in the Chat twice now: We don't role-play as much anymore.
I think Admiral Kelley is right in his assertion, but I think his analysis is off. We aren't being plagued by too much freeform creation so much as too many characters. Role-playing is about development, and it is very difficult indeed to develop a new character every week or so. It is nearly impossible if your character never faces challenges that require effort to overcome. I've fallen for it too: we become so caught up in the myriad possibilities of this environment that we try to explore them all at once. Unfortunately, this invariably results in a huge pool of marginal characters. Everybody sits around waiting for something to happen because they haven't invested enough time in a character to really get comfortable playing them. We have all done this: come up with a great concept, introduce them, and ... then ... now what?
So, I issue a plea for restraint.
Look through your characters: outright drop the ones you just don't play anymore, or play rarely and only then as Deus Ex Machina to solve problems for your main character. Now look at the ones you have left... which character or two do you really like? Which are interesting both in ability
and in limitations
(because it is in the character's limitations that the core of this game really happens)? Consider retiring the rest, and focus on developing those. If you really want to play something new, come up with an IC reason for your older character to be unavailable for a time. Killing them off is probably not a good idea; but a vacation, going off to training, doing on "off-screen" quest - there are many possibilities.
If we would all do this, I think a lot of our real, underlying problems would be significantly alleviated.

I think, and I admit to not having read through every post entirely (sorry if I'm repeating anything), that the main problem is this: People arn't reacting to the things going on around them.
For example, if there is a fight going on in the streets, shouldn't someone walking through notice?
If there is someone drowing in their own blood in the tavern, is it apropriate to laugh at the joke the person sitting across from you just said?
I just have the feeling that people are ignoring alot of possibilities because they are only concerned with the conversation they are having, and not the very loud person three seats away who's obviously drunk and making a scene. It's something you would notice were you really there.
Anyway, that's just my opinion. ^_^

As an extension of what Fenric and I have already said... something that can be properly summarised with "Too many villains!"
Everywhere I turn I see new villains sprout up, and being shot down and burried before they get a chance to develop and become memorable. The only memorable villains are the ones that are the focus of the story, and preferably a recurrent one too. The only great villains are the ones you know, and can always count on being there, all the way to the end, because those are the only villains that will ever get a chance to develop and become more than half-baked impulsive ideas.
The same really goes for other characters too, they grow and become great the longer they stay and the more focus is put on them.
What I see in Town is often the opposite, and it makes it hard to care.
Just a small addition.

Ah, my two coppers - if anyone cares.
I started Town with one character, one I transferred over from GitP. There is a major chunk in the middle of the day when the person that character is tied to (and he knows who he is) is gone, so I created another character to fill that time. And then another to add depth for myself. Yet another character I created just to RP with someone I wouldn't have had the chance to otherwise. ANYWAY, these four are a handful to juggle at times, especially since I also have a few minor characters I toss in for fun. Trixie, poor Trixie, I must confess, I got so bored with that I asked Vael to help me do a total makeover of to keep from killing her off. But in all honesty, I find all my characters itching for action. They are snapping at people, making snide comments, trying to stir things up. And I guess that's because I'm not happy unless there's aLITTLE bit of chaos floating around. Larkin and Max - perfectly happy, smooching and doing family stuff - got boring. So I've thrown in various things to make it more interesting.
Long story short, while RP is my favorite part of any game, I still like action. And I feel all my characters have been developed enough they could get tossed into the ninth layer of hell and fight for the next 6 months and STILL be good.
Speech over. I'll try to work on creating some plot stuff. I did a little mini-plot that worked out okay, but since I only post during the weekdays, I don't know how much that will help.

I've got a fair number of characters. And yet, none of them are doing anything. I'm not sure quite what to do about it, either. There are ideas, I guess, but most of them require people that don't come online anymore or simply too much involvement that people can't or don't want to do.
Case in point: Iris. I have no freakin' idea what to do with her. I mean, her deal is to become an extremely powerful monarch, namely by taking over the place of largest populace. Well... that requires pretty much everyone to be okay with a Town-wide plot. Or, a few places at a time. Which, I can safely say most people don't care for. It's ended up rather like KNAVES, only not as good. Frankly, there's a reason why people have, for the most part, stopped playing their characters in the castle. There's nothing to do. And, boy, that's not exactly good for my ego.
Mneme needs Necropaladin, Geomancer, and Xaspian to continue onwards, so we're on hold until summer comes around again. Corinne is on hold perhaps from lack of things to do again, Spook's fun, but her actual plot is on hold, Dante needs KNAVES at the moment, Vedran has opened up a shop which doesn't matter much, since no one is going out and buying anything anyhow. And it's not the Omnishop, because, if you'll note, it's not been doing anything either in weeks. Quint is supposed to be more of a side character anyway, I'd suppose.
It's possible that part of what holds me back is my hatred of playing my own villains, because that just gets so monotonous after a while. There's no suprise or quick thinking, just two people doing what I say. And I don't like it.
As for Nevr's plots, I would have loved to get in on some of them. But there was nothing for me to do either. I had offered to play some characters for him if needed, but nobody seemed real interested in doing his plot at all.
Frankly, there have been weeks where there's been not a thing for me to do at all. And it's getting more frequent. It's depressing...

I know what you mean Ms E, it's why Phedre goaded someone to strike out at her, why I try to get people to interact with my characters, (although it doesn't always work and then I get disappointed about it). It's why I'm trying to keep my characters independent. Although I would like Gwen to visit Vedran, he does have some stuff that would interest her, and I'm sure she has some that would interest him. Part of my problem though is work, I sleep all morning and then go to work from 2:30pm - 10:30pm and it takes away my evening time when Town tends to be the most active. I have been happy to see Trog's more active. It makes it easier to interact with other people.

I am trying to get a town wide plot in motion.
Feel free to join.
Feel free to ask for a patrol of golems do invade your house and fireball your silverware if you need personal incentive.
Anyway, true, one of the greatest problems regarding the loss of interest comes form a simple detail.
The emotional melodrama is interesting up to a point. Then it gets boring, and you usually (unfortunatelly) don't find something with more action to do.
Go to the streets, don't ignore the more visible threatening NPCs (like Rebo's zombie horde yesterday). If you need long lasting action, it usually starts in the streets. And who knows, it might open up an interesting enmity or something of the like.
By the way, I will be sure to make Herr'ec send something else against the town in the future. As soon as he is not about to poop his non-existant pants because the old guy is on the move.

The Jackson Galaxy #MonthlyMojo beneficiary for December is H.A.R.T. Homeless Animals Rescue Team of Mesa, Arizona "The Grand Canyon State"
H.A.R.T. has been in existence since May of 2005 and it all started as an effort to help a colony of cats outside an industrial work place in Tempe, AZ. A litter of four kittens was discovered on the premises and all four adorable kittens were rescued, socialized and placed in loving homes All of the feral cats at this business were spayed and neutered through Trap, Neuter & Return (TNR), and there have been no more kittens born at this location since.
1. Jackson's Pick
Fast forward a decade to December 2015, and H.A.R.T. is still going strong. Every month, volunteers coordinate monthly trap jobs for TNR, feed over 130 free-roaming cats daily, and rescue cats and kittens, preparing them for adoption through the help of other rescue groups.
H.A.R.T. has…
Spayed and neutered over 1,800 cats using TNR

You can give from $10 to $100 to help pay for spay/neuter surgery, medical testing, or food. Check it out here.
2. #MaximzeYourMojo
You may not be able to adopt a rescued kitty or help with TNR but there are other ways to make a difference. By purchasing this stylish Festival Cats Lightweight Scarf this December, you'll send $5 to H.A.R.T. which enables them to continue their wonderful work. The scarf will keep you stylish and warm. And it'll also remind you of the special help you've been to cats in Arizona.

Greatest Sporting MomentsPosted on: 10 July 2008 by Gareth Hargreaves
Watch the footage of ten sporting events, spanning a period of 40 years, which stunned the world of sport and those watching at home.
Sport, to paraphrase the late, great Bill Shankly, is not a matter of life and death. It's much more important than that.
Because, in sport, sometimes the impossible happens.
The world of sport has conjured up some memorable moments that have gone down in history. Be it for an amazing individual achievement, a world first or for a triumph against all the odds, everybody has their favourites.
We take a look back at 10 events over the past 40 years that each stunned the world of sport and those watching at home.
1) England win the 1966 FIFA World Cup (Wembley, 1966)
England won football's World Cup for the first time since the tournament began in 1930.
A crowd of 93,000 spectators, including the Queens and Prince Phillip, filled Wembley Stadium to watch the host nation play West Germany in the final game of the 1966 championships.
Another 400 million people around the world watched the keenly fought match on television.
In the final moments of extra time, Geoff Hurst powered home his third goal to give England a 4-2 victory and to become the first man to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.
2) "Rumble In The Jungle" Mohammed Ali Vs George Foreman (Zaire, 1974)
In one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, Ali regained his title by defeating champion Foreman in their bout in Zaire.
The fight, hyped as "The Rumble In The Jungle" was the first to be promoted by the legendary Don King and nobody gave former champion Ali a chance.
Foreman had won 37 of his 40 bouts by knockout, mostly within three rounds. Eight of his previous fights didn't go past the second round. Ali saw an opportunity to outlast Foreman and capitalised on it, knocking him out in the eighth.
3) Maradona's World Cup (Mexico, 1986)
Maradona captained Argentina to a second World Cup triumph in Mexico '86 and it's a World Cup that will forever be synonymous with him.
He scored 5 goals in that tournament, including two against England in one of the greatest ever World Cup encounters.
Both are among the most talked about goals in World Cup history.
The first was the infamous "Hand of God" and the second probably the greatest goal ever scored in a World Cup game, as he ran from his own half showing magic displays and leaving seven English players for dead before scoring.
4) Ian Botham's Headingley Heroics (Yorkshire, 1981)
After fierce criticism in the newspapers, the England cricket team were on the verge of an embarrassing Ashes defeat against Australia at Headingley.
Ladbrokes had offered 500-1 against an England win and that seemed a generous price for an English team on the road to ruin.
With England in deep trouble at 105/5 in their second innings, Australia were heading for a comfortable innings win.
Ian Botham walked out to bat after Peter Willey made his way back to the pavilion but matters didn't improve as first Geoff Boycott and then Bob Taylor were soon dismissed. At 135/7 an innings defeat looked certain.
When Graham Dilley joined Botham at the crease, Botham reportedly said, "Right then, let's have a bit of fun…". With able support from Dilley (56) and Chris Old (29), Botham hit out and by the close of play was 145 not out.
On the final's day play there was time for just four more runs from Botham before Bob Willis was out and Botham was left on 149 not out.
Willis' real contribution was with the ball. After Botham took the first wicket, Willis skittled Australia out for just 111, giving England a win by just 18 runs.
It was only the second time in history that a team following on had won a Test match.
5) "That tie breaker" John McEnroe Vs Bjorn Borg (Wimbledon, 1980)
The ice-cool Swedish champion Bjorn Borg against the brash John McEnroe who was snapping at his heels for the crown of the world's best player.
Borg's four-year reign at Wimbledon seemed over when the American sailed through the first set with his swinging, left-handed serve a dominant factor.
But Borg started to find the range with his heavy passing shots in the second set and looked on course for another title when he edged the third.
The Swede held two match points at 5-4 in the fourth set but McEnroe saved them with diving volleys.
The match was already destined to be the most memorable for years, but then came a tie-break the like of which may never be seen again.
McEnroe had seven set points and Borg five more match points, four on his own serve. McEnroe finally took it after 22 minutes and 34 contested points.
6) The Ball Of The Century (Manchester, 1993)
Also referred to as the "Gatting Ball" or "that ball" was the name given to a cricket delivery bowled by Australia's Shane Warne to England's Mike Gatting.
On the second day of the first test of the 1993 Ashes series in Old Trafford, Warne produced a spectacular delivery that bowled Gatting.
It became recognised as being of considerable significance in not just the context of the match or series, but in cricket in general, helping to revive the neglected discipline of leg spin bowling.
7) "That try" Barbarians Vs New Zealand (Cardiff, 1973)
The Barbarians final challenge match with the All Blacks at Cardiff Arms Park is celebrated as one of the best games of rugby ever to be played.
It was a game of attack and counter attack with rugby the winner. But the game will always be remembered for Welshman Gareth Edwards' sensation try while playing for the Barbarians.
For the record the All Blacks lost 23-11, which translates to 27-13 in today's scoring system, their only defeat of the tour.
8) Ben Johnson stripped of Olympic gold (Seoul, 1988)
Sprinter Ben Johnson was sent home from the Seoul Olympic Games in disgrace.
The Canadian was stripped of his 100m gold medal after testing positive for drugs.
Johnson had just arrived home in Toronto and had said he would appeal against the International Olympics Committee's verdict.
But the IOC said the athlete's intended defence - that a herbal drink he consumed before the race had been spiked - will not be accepted.
Samples of Johnson's urine were tested for drugs three days after the 100m final which Johnson won in a world record time of 9.79 seconds.
9) Boris Becker wins Wimbledon aged 17 (Wimbledon, 1985)
The West German teenager Boris Becker become the youngest ever player to win the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Becker, a 17-year-old unseeded outsider before the tournament began, raised the coveted silver trophy above his head to rapturous applause on centre court.
Becker was also the first German ever to win the title, and the first unseeded player.
He had dominated the match from the start, taking just three hours and 18 minutes to overpower eighth-seeded Kevin Curren, a South-African-born American.
10) Red Rum's third Grand National win (Aintree 1977)
Red Rum achieved an unmatched historic treble when he won his third Grand National in 1977, following two previous success' in 1973 and 1974.
He came in second in 1975 and 1976. In his first two victories, he was ridden by Brian Fletcher. However in 1975, when L'Escargot was victorious, Fletcher was blamed for costing him victory by holding him back.
In 1976, Tommy Stack replaced Fletcher but was held off by Rag Trade. The following year Stack rode him to his triumphant third National win, considered the greatest horse racing moment in history.
Not surprisingly, Red Rum became one of the best known and most loved racehorses in the UK and Ireland.
Here's a selection of some of the most memorable sporting moments over the past 40 years that didn't make our top.

We booked to be close to a Thai restaurant and discovered a most beautiful building of an America from days of Prosperity, Grand scale of design and confidence so far removed from the poverty pack now associated with American downtowns.
The rooms are an eclectic mix of 70s, modern contemporary and el cheapo Home Depot, clean and tidy, a TV that can barley be watched due to static, wifi signal that was better in the bathroom than in bed. The chairs dragging over the upstairs dining area create that not so welcome presence. But depite being horribly over priced the place is a gem ! You will have a nice time here, drinking boutique beers and cocktails overlooking the city from the roof top gardens, throwing little balls on the antique bowling alley, drinking real coffee over the road, and just being immersed in a some what bizarre American hotel that realy belongs in those classic Indian hotels then this is a must do, consider the high cost of staying your contribution to maintaining an Indianapolis landmark, finally anyone who keeps chooks ( chickens on the establishment must be ok )

Most Helpful Girl
Surely, we like handsome men.
but the truth is, i have liked several guys who are ugly. and yes, it's because : they have good personality, yes funny, and SMART. When i look back, and realized that i liked those men who are (also considered by my friends as) ugly, i found it actually amazing), that those qualities can really make me, or women actually fall in love. yes, i will go out with men with those kind of qualities. BUT, build the chemistry first. dont worry too much with face, if no chemistry, if she doesn't feel comfortable, it's also useless and can't go further

There are millions of people out there wasting their time on Facebook every day while they should really be posting on Xenforo boards. So, how could this situation be improved? Well, what if there was a sort of Xenforo site similar to Facebook? Where all Xenforo boards (or a subset of them) participated. Users could choose to use global usernames, or local usernames valid only on specific boards. (I think Wikipedia does something like this for different language versions of their encyclopaedia.) I suppose participating boards ought to have the same or very similar rules & terms. A user could join a new board as easily as FB users join new groups. And there would be a search feature for finding boards to join according to their area(s) of focus.
The technical side of this idea is probably where it all breaks. No idea how it would work, really
Mostly I'm just curious if others have had similar ideas, or if anything like this exists out there, why it was a success or failure etc.

As you know I love sharing my friends' work with you and today I am so excited for you to meet my friend Jessica. Jessica and I met freshmen year at RISD and stayed friends through graduation, we both majored in apparel and spent many many late nights in studio, mornings in critique and lunches at the watermark. Jessica is genuine and kind, she cares about her friends and is fun to be around. A few years ago when i was in Las Vegas at market selling accessories she was also there with her fledgling swimwear line- KORE. I'm in awe of the success she has had in just a few short years, i remember opening up the June issue of W magazine last summer and seeing one of her maillots huge on those big pages, i was so excited, and then just a few weeks ago Beyonce showed up in my instagram feed wearing another one of KORE's suits! Jessica is not only a great designer but she's a great friend, beautiful and graceful. So blogworld, meet my friend Jessica Tracy!
|W Magazine June 2013
I started a women's swimwear company, KORE SWIM, three years ago with my sister. I am the designer and manage the creative & production side of the company, while my sister manages the marketing and sales. I live in a studio in Corona del Mar, CA (a quaint neighborhood close to Newport Beach). It's a perfect place for me since it's a beautiful, walking friendly town with a bunch of cute restaurants & bars and just a couple blocks from the beach, and also close enough to LA, where we produce our swimwear.
Every day is a new day for me. It's nice to set my own schedule at least a day in advance so I know what I need to accomplish by the end of each day. Either I'm working from my home designing and developing our next collection or planning upcoming productions, or I'm in LA checking in on production and making sure things get done. I also need those inspirational days to keep the creativity flowing - days where I sketch, people watch, read magazines, and watch classic movies. I'm also hoping to start painting again.
|A look from the 2013 collection
It makes my day when I read a good review of our swimwear from a customer. I'm so happy to know someone really appreciates my designs and feels great in KORE SWIM. We're not just making swimwear to make swimwear, we are creating a company to empower women and make them feel confident. I love seeing my designs come to life - to oversee the process from initial sketch to seeing a woman looking amazing on the beach in KORE SWIM is extremely rewarding.
If you could design for any client who would it be?
We were really excited when we saw Beyoncé wearing our Flora one-piece, and she's one woman we'd love to design more swimwear/clothing for! It would be really cool to collaborate with a celeb for an event or show, like a concert tour. We admire strong, confident women with an original style, so we would love to design for women like Gwyneth Paltrow,Chloe Sevigny, and Sofia Coppola.
|Beyoncé wearing Flora
What has been your favorite project (collection) to date?
The 2015 collection (that we're developing right now) compared to our first 2012 collection has evolved so much. Partially because I'm growing as a designer and learning about myself, and mostly because we listen to our customer and are learning more about her each day. So to answer the question, our 2015 collection is my favorite to date, but I know I'll love the next one even more.

|A look from the 2012 collection
Corona del Mar has some great restaurants that are easily walkable from my studio. Side Door is a really cool restaurant with upscale 'bar food' and has a really fun vibe. Rose's Cafe is my favorite weekend morning spot - it's the best place to meet up with my neighborhood friends and they have the best donuts in town :) Because I like sweets and especially donuts, I make sure to work out a lot and stay healthy. The Bar Method in Newport Coast is the best workout hands down - it works every muscle in your body and you feel accomplished at the end of the one-hour class. I've been doing it for 3 years now, and it's improved my body and strength more than anything else I've ever tried. Since I'm in downtown LA often, I love dropping by the new ACE hotel for a drink after a long day at the factory and checking out the newest items at OAK, which just opened there and also sells KORE SWIM!

About the Book
In 2012 I took photos each day of Port Meadow and Wolvercote Common, Oxford. This book contains the chosen 366 photos.
I used an iPhone 4, uploading the selected photo each day to Instagram, then my photo-blog on Tumblr (fentonaw.tumblr.com/). For 6 days when on holiday in July I had the welcome help of neigbours Liv and Colin.
Why? Port Meadow is a beautiful ancient meadow, and I live right next to it in Wolvercote. Having lived here for 16 years I wanted to capture the changing daily views and experience the meadow more thoroughly than I'd done previously.
My favourite photo I call 'Jupiter, Venus, and horse' - see if you can find it. What would be your favourite?

In the 1960's, Hawaii statehood led to the first Japanese Americans in Congress, and Norm Mineta and then Bob Matsui were elected to local office in San Jose and Sacramento. The Civil Rights movement inspired some in the baby-boom generation of Japanese Americans to join the push for ethnic studies, women's rights and community redevelopment.
Later, pilgrimages to relocation centers played a key role in helping the Japanese American community deal with the pain of incarceration.
