There are five primary things you should know about self defense. When it comes to actual fighting you will find nothing but the truth within this special article. Try to remember these tips in your next battle.
Street self defense fighting tips #1- Always give a mugger any inanimate object, like a wallet, if they come at you armed and threatening. Remember that you always can report a fraud on your credit card or bank account and you cant get your life back once its been taken. What would happen if you tried unsuccessfully to take the knife from the mugger?
Street self defense tip & moves #2- The things that you see people do in fights on television are very ineffective in a real fight. So the guy saw something on TV, he thought he would try to disarm the guy holding the knife. In the end the guy almost bled to death because of the stab that he got in the thigh from trying a flying sidekick. Never copy the moves you see in wrestling or movies.
Street self defense fighting tips #3- You can take a hit or kick without it being as painful. You should probably practice ways to do this with a friend , and not much padding so that you can find what works best for you. You should also practice getting hit, throwing some hits of your own, and maintaining your focus while in a very active fight.
Street self defense fighting moves #4- When you decide to take martial arts you should work hard to learn these moves in a way that you will always know them, and easily use them if you need to. You will also need to learn to focus despite constant attack, and excessive stress that comes with being in a fight, instead of allowing yourself to crumble under the fear and pain.
Street self defense fighting moves #5- Fights in the street don't have any rules, or anyone determining fairness, and you should always keep in mind that anything goes on the street. If you have an opportunity to bite their ear, go for it! Remember that kicking someone in the groin isn't a bad move it's actually pretty good. If you can stab him in the eye, do what you need to do.
Remember that trying the fighting stuff you see in tv and in the moves can get you killed out on the streets. Don't attempt to do any fancy kicks or acrobatics in a fight either, because you will be unsuccessful.

2009 LPGA hosted in Torrey Pines
Paula Creamer won the Samsung World Championship last year, when it was held in Northern California. (File photo / Getty Images) - The LPGA Tour is returning to San Diego this year with a premier tournament to be played at Torrey Pines.
City officials and representatives from International Management Group will announce this morning that the $1 million Samsung World Championship will be played Sept. 17-20 on the Torrey Pines South Course.
The 72-hole event, sanctioned by the LPGA and staged by IMG, will feature 20 of the best players in women's golf, including 2008 Samsung champion Paula Creamer and the tour's biggest star, Mexican Lorena Ochoa.
"Torrey Pines is held in such high regard, and this is a tournament with the best players on the LPGA Tour, so it's an attractive fit that works for everybody," said Torrey Gane, the tournament director from IMG who moved into a San Diego office recently.
A deal to bring the 29th edition of the Samsung to Torrey Pines has been in the works for more than a year. Negotiations moved slowly until after the 108th U.S. Open was held on the South Course last June. Since then, discussions have focused on matching dates with when the Torrey courses were available.
Initially, the South Course was booked with several large corporate outings during the September week the LPGA had designated for the tournament. The North Course was being considered by IMG, but after two corporations canceled their bookings on the South, it became available.
The city's agreement with IMG is to host this year's tournament, with an option for 2010. Tournament week begins Monday, Sept. 14, but practice by the LPGA players will be limited that day because a corporate outing on the South will go on as scheduled. The North Course will host its usual public play during the week, according to City Golf Manager Jon Maddern.
The deal calls for IMG to reimburse the city's golf enterprise fund for lost green fee revenue on the South and staff overtime during the week. Maddern has estimated that figure to be $200,000.
Maddern said very little extra work is required to bring the South to the LPGA's requirements. He said the tour's agronomy officials have requested the rough be 2½ to 3 inches, and that's around where it's set for the general public. The green speeds will be around 11 on the Stimpmeter, and that can be accomplished in a matter of days.
The women will play the South at about 6,700 yards, or about 80 yards longer than the white tees. "Quite frankly, I think it's going to be very interesting to see what the women shoot out here," Maddern said. "Their short-iron games and putting has always intrigued me. It's a difficult golf course, we know that."
This won't be the first time the LPGA has played on the South, although it was a far different track when Hall-of-Famer Patty Sheehan shot 10-under and won the 1983 Inamori Classic.
The visit to Torrey turned out to be a one-shot deal. The Kyocera-Inamori Classic wasn't played in 1984 and moved to Fairbanks Ranch Country Club in '85. Twelve Kyocera events were played on five area courses, the last in 1993 at Stardust Country Club, on the Mission Valley property that is now Riverwalk.
The Samsung World Championship was the brainchild of IMG's late founder, Mark McCormick. Since 1980, it has been played at 15 venues, including Bighorn Golf Club in Palm Desert from 2004-07. Annika Sorenstam is the event's all-time winner with five titles.
The Half Moon Bay Golf Links hosted last year, and Creamer, a Northern California native, was the popular winner. Gain said IMG does not keep attendance figures, but she said ticket sales were up 270 percent from the previous year at Bighorn, when Ochoa won.
"There was tremendous appeal at Half Moon Bay, but I'm certain we'll get a lot more fans in San Diego," Gane said. "It's a true golf community and the first time the LPGA has been here in over 15 years."
The field will be of top quality. The defending champion (Creamer) and last year's leading money winner (Ochoa) already have qualified. The winners of this season's four majors will be in the field. One exemption goes to the top money winner on the Ladies European Tour (who is often also a member of the LPGA), one goes to a Hall of Fame player if she is in the top 30 on the current money list, and one goes to an invitee of the championship committee. The other players will come from the top 20 on the tour's money list as of Aug. 31

Famous basketball drills
Famous basketball players have something in common aside from being in the basketball news and being the most famous basketball players in history. They all began with a solid foundation of basketball drills. Among these are the hall of famers and some of the biggest names in the industry.
Most are very bankable stars and some are retired. There are so many that made it to the top stories of basketball news but there are few that really sparked the minds of basketball fans and the pages of history. Some are as follows:
1. Michael Jordan. ESPN's greatest North American athlete of the 20th century is still very significant in the world of basketball and is still making big waves even after his retirement. Air Jordan to his many fans, Michael had left his career on top. He was the undefeated Most Valuable Player (MVP) in his time and Bulls’ most bankable star. But he started out with a humbling story: he was rejected in a varsity position during his tenth grade but that did not stop him from becoming the best, he continued to practice basketball drills. He became a success and was admired for his leaping ability. This paid off with six NBA Finals MVP awards.
2. Wilt Chamberlain. Philadelphia's sport symbol Wilt Chamberlain was 1978's Hall of Famer for the many contributions he added to the industry. He was among those that are involved in making basketball a more effective sport to many. Widening the lane, free throws and inbounding the ball are jusit few of his advocated changes that were all adapted. Even if he was not a fanatic of the game in his early years, he became one of the dominant features in the industry with his advantageous 7 feet 1 inch bulk.
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. A successful coach and author nowadays, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was another important figure in the NBA. He scored 38,387 points in his 20 years in the industry, the highest score ever made by a basketball player. Kareem was an only child and was raised in the a Roman Catholic religion. He now teaches his players basic basketball drills.
4. Lisa Leslie. The fourth most famous basketball player is a woman who won regular season, WNBA Championship and All-Star Game MVP awards in the same season. She was also the first woman who dunked in WNBA game, and went on to score 3,000 points. Lisa Leslie is WNBA's most known athlete and is idolized by many woman fanatics of the game.
5. Larry Bird. 'Kodak' to his coach, Larry Bird is among the world-class clutch performers of NBA. He has a great ability to anticipate and react to his opponents offenses and strategies. He played power forward and small forward positions and rebounds very well. His constant motivator is the poverty he struggled from.
The magic five most famous basketball players list is just few of the many very famous players in the industry. These people were highly instrumental in making the game more popular and sought after in the world. In fact, basketball is the most watched and played team sport anywhere in the world.
This is just a proof that the legends in the industry have done a very good job in learning the bacics of basketball drills, now they are promoting the sport to every man and woman, and youth around the world.

How best to defend against a kick
No matter how great a striker or wrestler you are, you are going to come up against fighters who insist on leading in with kicks to your legs to either take you down or weaken your legs which will make you slow and easy to knock down. And it is frankly amazing to see even well rated fighters who appear untrained in who to deflect these blows, specifically from low kicks to the thigh and knee. No matter how hard you train or workout in the gym, certainly a well placed blow to the knee you could at the least put you out of the octagon for some months or end your career all together. Following are some tips for your to try out in your next sparring session that will likely take your opponent by surprise and give you the upper hand.
Again these are defenses specifically against lower body MMA style kicks. Firstly you do need to avoid connecting a shin on shin as this could easily result in the shattering of your bone doing serious damage. Instead the first most basic defense you can try is instead of taking the blow to the side of your thigh as you will most often see in UFC competitions try turning your leg outwards to absorb the blow with the front of your thigh at a 90 degree angle with your attackers shin. You ought to find this much easier to absorb and less painful than the way you normally practice.
Secondly you can try to catch your opponents strike with the front of your ankle - the center point of the curve from your lower leg to foot. This is an extremely hard bone. The trick is to raise your leg and push out and forward as you connect, breaking the power of the incoming kick, causing a great deal of pain to your opponent and throwing them off balance leaving them open to your follow through attack.
The third and possibly easiest move to add to your arsenal is to make your attacker strike you on the front ball of the knee with his shin. To do this of course you must left and bend your leg to avoid breakage. But your opponent's shin connecting with your extremely hard knee will if not break his leg at least put them in such excruciating pain, that they will not want to strike you again. This not only will throw them off guard and injure them but throw off their strategy and confidence helping you to gain the advantage and claim victory. But please practice these moves with care to avoid injuring yourself as well and always practice with the correct martial arts gear for you protection.
Learning these techniques are not easy and shouldn't be taken lightly. You must practice these before attempting to perform these in a live competition. So, just have you and your partner gear up with shin or foot guards and start working on the different way and see what feels most natural to you. You will begin gravitating towards one specific move so that can be your defense against your opponent's kicks.

Different Tae Kwon do Technique and Forms
In Martial arts, specifically Taekwondo is considered by many to be an ideal workout as it combines most elements sought after in a balanced fitness program. Many people understand that there are various styles of martial arts but they do not realize that within a style like Tae kwon do there are also various styles.
Tang Soo Do: Tang soo do is an extremely popular martial art that evolved from the kicking arts of taekyon and subak. It is similar to tae kwon do and maintains its heritage as a traditional way of promoting the values of self-control, respect, and discipline in the pursuit of self-improvement. Important characteristics that underpin the art include humanity, wisdom, etiquette, and trust. Tang soo do is particularly popular in the US, where it is sometimes advertised under the name of karate or Korean karate. Chuck Norris is probably its most well-known practitioner in the West. He is the six-time undefeated world professional middleweight karate champion and one-time martial teacher of Steve McQueen, Priscilla Presley, and Donny Osmond.
Han Kum Do: Han kum do (HKD) is a sword system in which the basic cutting techniques mimic the Korean script known as "hangul". It follows the fundamental principles of multiple strikes on multiple opponents. Developed by Myung Jae Nam, the art came to popular attention during the third international HKD Games in 1997.
Hangul, known as the most scientific alphabet in existence, is very easy to learn and has 24 characters (10 vowels and 14 consonants). Making the sword cuts on the letters of the alphabet is an ingenious training aid that helps students to memorize the various cuts and enables them to perform the required movements instinctively in very little time.
Won Hwa Do: Won hwa Do is a hybrid art that relies on 360-degree rotations to generate power, supporting the key philosophy that in nature there are no straight lines or angles of attack. Long-term practice, however, damages the joints and ligaments. Weapons such as the short stick, knife, and sword are routinely taught, with attacks and defends born from "bi son"-the rhythm used during traditional prayer and dance. The circular attacking motions of the art belong to the same tradition as those used for massaging injuries.
Hankido: Hankido is a hybrid martial art that incorporates aspects of aikido, with kicking and striking techniques, acrobatic flips, and kicks reminiscent of tae kwon do. Students develop "ki" Korean for "qi" to learn 12 basic self-defense moves and 24 breathing techniques. They also spin and dance to develop coordination, rhythm, timing, and softness. The art's philosophy centers on the principles of "circle," "flow," and "heart," and each has a specific exercise. "Jeon hwan bup" (the circle exercise) teaches circular moves for defense, leverage, and throwing. "Young nyu bup" (the flow exercise) encourages students to see moves as a continual interaction between themselves and their opponents, promoting an attitude of fearless, relaxed action. "Shim hwa bup" (the rowing exercise) encourages the heart to develop a fighting spirit.

Tang Soo Do: Tang soo do is an extremely popular martial art that evolved from the kicking arts of taekyon and subak. It is similar to tae kwon do and maintains its heritage as a traditional way of promoting the values of self-control, respect, and discipline in the pursuit of self-improvement. Important characteristics that underpin the art include humanity, wisdom, etiquette, and trust. Tang soo do is particularly popular in the US, where it is sometimes advertised under the name of karate or Korean karate. Chuck Norris is probably its most well-known practitioner in the West. He is the six-time undefeated world professional middleweight karate champion and one-time martial teacher of Steve McQueen, Priscilla Presley, and Donny Osmond.
Han Kum Do: Han kum do (HKD) is a sword system in which the basic cutting techniques mimic the Korean script known as "hangul". It follows the fundamental principles of multiple strikes on multiple opponents. Developed by Myung Jae Nam, the art came to popular attention during the third international HKD Games in 1997.
Hangul, known as the most scientific alphabet in existence, is very easy to learn and has 24 characters (10 vowels and 14 consonants). Making the sword cuts on the letters of the alphabet is an ingenious training aid that helps students to memorize the various cuts and enables them to perform the required movements instinctively in very little time.
Won Hwa Do: Won hwa Do is a hybrid art that relies on 360-degree rotations to generate power, supporting the key philosophy that in nature there are no straight lines or angles of attack. Long-term practice, however, damages the joints and ligaments. Weapons such as the short stick, knife, and sword are routinely taught, with attacks and defends born from "bi son"-the rhythm used during traditional prayer and dance. The circular attacking motions of the art belong to the same tradition as those used for massaging injuries.

Find sure bets and place them
Sport Arbitrage is an anomaly where different bookmakers have different prices for the same sporting event. This article does not try to explain it in detail, but help you find them very quickly.
An Arbitrage happens for many reasons. One example is when a bookmaker takes a large bet on the favourite in an event. If the favourite wins, the bookmaker will have to pay out a big sum. So they up the payout on the underdog to attract money on the underdog.
Finding Arbitrages are not easy. There are many happening each day, but most of them exists only for a short while. Finding it means that you have to look at the right event at the right time. This is possible and I have done many Arbitrages looking at the different bookmakers websites.
This took many hours of my time. If only all the prices could be available on one website, it would make finding an Arbitrage a bit easier.
This website is also very handy because it shows the Arbitrage percentage for each event. This meant that I did not need to calculate the Arbitrage any more. It is just a case of checking this website from time to time and scan the percentages for something less than 100%.
Once again this proved time consuming. The Arbitrage may not exist when you check the website and there are hundreds of sports to check. Sometimes the percentages are also not displayed on the main page for the sport in question.
Next I looked for Sure Bets services. I found a few, but most of them are either very expensive, or the free services are not very reliable. For instance, some services may list a sure bet, but on checking it, it is on different markets, i.e. on the Full Time result and Half Time result of a football match.

Catching suspended crappie in confined open water
True open water involves vast expanses of water over 20ft feet in depth. "Confined open water" defines areas of open water adjacent or near to shallow structural elements. The crappie is a very popular game fish that young,old, and novice and experienced fisherman have given names such as calico bass, speckled bass, speckled perch, white perch, pole crappie, strawberry bass, and papermouth. The speckled bass is a suspending species of fish but not a true open water fish like the steelhead, stripper bass, or salmon. True open water fish are streamlined, and powerful and able to cover large distances in a short period of time. The white perch is not built for speed or power and stay near structure where most of the crappie food is located.
In lake and reservoirs where there is submerged timber lines key suspending crappie depths will be 30 to 55 ft deep. Using a slip bobber rig with a crappie jig tipped with a plastic grub and wax worm will work here. Try using weedless hooks on your crappie jigs and make sure you have enough weight to get your crappie jig down 30ft quickly. The weight of your crappie jig and a large split shot should do the trick. You can also use crappie jigging spoons tipped with crappie minnows and shiners. In stable weather there also will be suspended crappie just above the timber tops of the trees located out on the edge of the timber line.
Environmental circumstances will determine the speckled bass position on a timbered point. When weather conditions are mild and stable suspended crappie will be located high in the tree tops or they will move to shallower trees, but rarely in water less then 15ft deep. Yo can sometimes run suspended crappie artificial baits such as crappie crank baits at a specified depth and you will catch some white perch. Cold fronts, and fridgid wate or a drop in water levels will push the paper mouth into deeper water and into dense cove in the heart of the trees. These fish will have a negative feeding mood and will be hard to catch.
Suspended crappies in timberline areas are fun to catch once you learn where they are located at and at what depth. Just keep in mind that you can use a variety of different crappie baits such as crappie live baits like crappie minnows, gizzard shad, threadfin shad, shiners, fathead minnows, and even small crayfish to catch crappie. Or switch it up and a use a combination of artificial crappie jigs tipped with crappie live bait. Just use your imagination. 75 percent of you fishing is going to be finding the strawberry bass location.
I want to thank you for reading my article about Strawberry Bass. We wish you the best of luck on your next fishing trip

Football shirts are often primary colors
Football shirts traditionally reflect the colors of the team that wears them. But in football the shirt is an opportunity to make your team stand out from the others, so the shirts tend to be creative expressions of a team's identity, or even their national pride. Some of the most highly used colors for football shirts are red, blue, yellow, green, and white. The way teams use these colors varies widely from stripes to blocks of color to simple highlights at the collar or on the sleeves.
Since football is a world sport, many teams design their football shirts to display the colors of their nation's flag. This tactic is really apparent during international competitions such as the FIFA World Cup. National teams find creative ways to incorporate flag colors and patterns into their football kits so that they are instantly recognizable, even from a distance. Fans seem to appreciate these nationally based designs as well, since it gives them a chance to show support for their favorite football team and for their nation all at once.
Of course, there are several football leagues that compete within separate nations as well, and the national colors wouldn't make sense for them. These teams have a little more flexibility with their use of colors, and they take full advantage of it. Football players need to be able to spot the other players on their team quickly, so bright colors that stand out against the green of the field are very popular. Bright yellows, reds, whites, and blues are highly used colors for football shirts because they catch the eye easily.
Goalies have traditionally worn a different color than the rest of the team. Originally football rules stated that a goalie must wear green, red, blue, or white, regardless of the team's colors. Today goalies are free to wear whatever color they desire, but it seems that the traditional green, red, blue, and white are still favored by many teams.
One of the more interesting uses of color in football shirts includes the use of stripes or blocks of color that alternate bright or dark colors. When you see an alternating striped shirt you expect one of the colors to be remarkably different from the other one. Football shirts break that fashion rule regularly. A football shirt may have large stripes or blocks of color and both colors will be equally bright or dark - like alternating blue and red stripes. These patterned shirts can boggle the eye at times, but they are definitely easy to spot against the green field of play.
Primary colors may be the most commonly used, but football shirts have far more variety than that. There are kits that feature light blues, deep maroons, oranges, and even pink. It is difficult to say that certain colors are more popular than others because football shirts come in such a wide variety of patterns and hues. When looked at over history, though, it is safe to say that in general the most highly used colors for football shirts have traditionally been red, blue, yellow, green and white.

Wetsuit or a short?
First and foremost is the predominant weather conditions, as well as the water temperatures, well at least the averages. The activity of the wearer, as well as the required functionality are additional determining factors as to whether a full steamer wetsuit or any other variety of suit would be suitable for the specific circumstances and use by the individual concerned.
Activities that require the use of a wetsuit include sports such as jet skiing, surfing, scuba diving, triathlons, water skiing and so forth. Any water sport really may be enjoyed with a wetsuit or similar protective gear, and offers the wearer protection from the elements, specifically the colder water, but this functionality extends further too. Many scuba divers prefer the full steamer wetsuit, as the entire body is protected from immersion within deeper and therefore colder waters, whilst the additional protection from stinging sea creatures, such as jelly fish can also be accomplished. In additional to this accidental scrapes, bumps and scratches against the objects around and within which divers explore are largely minimal, thanks to the protection of the full steamer wetsuit.
The surfing fraternity is somewhat divided in terms of which is the best suit for their needs, when considering either the full suit or a shorty one, and it really comes down to personal choice at the end of the day. Whilst some surfers find the full suit tends to inhibit their freedom of movement when out surfing, others say that the shorty is more prone to causing rashes on the upper arm and thigh areas. So as one can see this is really an issue of personal choice here.
With the latest designs and advancement of technology within manufacturing these items, the full steamer wetsuit and the shorty have essentially become available as one suit, specifically referring to that of the detachable suit. This type has removable arm and leg pieces which converts the suit to either a full steamer suit or a shorty, however as stated the advanced design has progressed significantly to almost provide a near seamless functionality within this type of suit, as compared to older versions which were bulky and only attached via zipper 'joints'. This type of suit is ideal for those that frequent both warmer and colder water regions, offering the functionality of both the full steamer wetsuit as well as the shorty, and a combination of the two.
Besides the functionality, use and personal choice in terms of these items, one of the most important aspects is the fitting of the item, which should fit snugly, but not too tightly. Additional gear that is extremely helpful with either the full steamer wetsuit or the shorty is that of the rash guard, which are a great help in preventing any chaffing of the rough neoprene against the skin.

Buying your fishing gear on the internet
When thinking of going to buy new fishing tackle, which fishing gear would you choose? Perhaps you simply go out and buy the costliest, thinking that the dearest would have to be the best or would you choose the least expensive in the hope this would do the job anyhow.
Personally when I'm buying new fishing apparatus I ask fishermen mates and then I search the Internet for independent reviews of any particular item I am after.
i remember when platted fishing line became major news, I hadn't got a clue about platted line at all, I asked all of my friends and it seemed that nobody at the time was using it.
Before the internet came along it was really a matter of trial and blunder when it came to buying fishing tackle, of course we had the fishing magazines but this was all right if and when they were reviewing a piece of fishing tackle you needed at the time.
I still have lots of old fishing tackle that was purchased many years back, fishing tackle that I could just not get on with, it used to be a particularly costly time.
Occasionally when buying new tackle it proves to be a pricey mistake, some new equipment just doesn't measure up to my expectations.
Now we have online auction sites, so purchasing some fishing tackle is not such a risk any more at least I'll sell items I don't need now.
With the Net comes more competition for sellers of top spec fishing tackle, this is a massive and for anglers. Dealers are so desperate to get a sale from you they will regularly reduce costs to beat another dealer to a sale. Particularly on online auction sites, prices on there change such a lot, Some dealers are so cheap compared with other sellers, it makes you believe how they make a profit.
the Net isn't such a bad place, not for a keen competitive angler anyway.

Before the internet came along it was really a matter of trial and blunder when it came to buying fishing tackle, of course we had the fishing magazines but this was all right if and when they were reviewing a piece of fishing tackle you needed at the time.
I still have lots of old fishing tackle that was purchased many years back, fishing tackle that I could just not get on with, it used to be a particularly costly time.
Occasionally when buying new tackle it proves to be a pricey mistake, some new equipment just doesn't measure up to my expectations.
Now we have online auction sites, so purchasing some fishing tackle is not such a risk any more at least I'll sell items I don't need now.
With the Net comes more competition for sellers of top spec fishing tackle, this is a massive and for anglers. Dealers are so desperate to get a sale from you they will regularly reduce costs to beat another dealer to a sale. Particularly on online auction sites, prices on there change such a lot, Some dealers are so cheap compared with other sellers, it makes you believe how they make a profit.
the Net isn't such a bad place, not for a keen competitive angler anyway.

Talk about the LA Dodgers
In 1884 the team joined the American Association (AA) as the Brooklyn Bridegrooms. The team's ambiguous future shattered instantaneously when they won the American Association in 1889.
The AA folded in 1890 and the team switched to the NL as the Brooklyn Superbas. Under Ned Hanlon, the Superbas won the NL pennants in 1899 and 1900, becoming the only franchise in MLB history to win pennants in different leagues in successive years.
From 1901 until 1916, the team saw various ups and downs. Hanlon's desire to own the team never materialized. He put himself heavily in debt and even invested heavily for the construction of Ebbets Field, which would become the Dodgers' home in 1913.
Under Manager Wilbert Robinson, popularly known as "Uncle Robbie", the Dodgers won pennants in 1916 and 1920 with the line-up featuring players like pitcher Jeff Pfeffer and outfielder Zack Wheat. The club lost both World Series, to Boston and Cleveland, respectively.
In the late 1920s the team became known as the "Daffiness Boys" for their distracted, error-ridden style of play, probably because of Robinson's helplessness to focus on the field after he assumed the title of president. He returned to manage the team to improve the performance of the team.
The Dodgers rebounded from a 20-year pennant drought in 1941 under Manager Leo Durocher, a former Brooklyn shortstop. The same season, the Dodgers introduced batting helmets to Major League Baseball. The following season, Branch Rickey was hired as president and general manager of the team. Rickey made history when he integrated the team after signing Negro League superstar Jackie Robinson in 1947. Robinson had an instant impact on the team. He along with teammates Pee Wee Reese, Arky Vaughan, and Gil Hodges led the club to the 1947 pennant. Robinson, Catcher Roy Campanella and pitcher Don Newcombe became the powerhouse of the team in the late 40s and early 50s. From 1949 to 1952, the Dodgers won six NL pennants with a World Series victory in 1955 against the Yanks.
In 1958 owner Walter O'Malley moved the club to Los Angeles. Manager Walter Alston led the Dodgers to their second World Series victory in 1959. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he guided the Dodgers to four more pennants. Moreover, the Dodger's pitching staff during this era was invincible. The Dodgers defeated the Yankees in the 1963 World Series, and two years later they bested the Minnesota Twins to take home their fourth World Series title. Under Manager Walter Alston, the Dodgers won their last pennant in 1974.
In 1976, Future Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda became the team's new manager. He managed the club for 22 seasons, leading it to four NL pennants and two World Series championships in 1981 and 1988. In 1992 the Dodgers finished the season in last place for the first time in 87 years of their existence. The team rebounded once again in 1994, 1995, and 1996 to claim the division titles. Before the start of the 1998 regular season playoffs, Australian-born media magnate Rupert Murdoch purchased the team. The logo of the team has Dodgers written in a blue script with a streaking baseball.

Beach volleyball is a real sport
There are many social opportunities to be realized when young people play volleyball at the beach with family and friends. While some people come to the beach for relaxation, they can also enjoy playing volleyball to get some form of exercise during their time off from work or other responsibilities in their busy life. Playing volleyball at the beach will also give people the opportunity to work on their tan, and by the time the day is over, they will generally be well ahead of the color scheme that they are trying to achieve in their body.
Playing volleyball at the beach does not require a lot of people but larger crowds are generally more fun and make the game more exciting. As few as two people are required to get a game of volleyball started, and there are likely to be more people that come around later that will volunteer to play for a while and this will simply add to the fun in the friendly game. Boys use volleyball games to get girls into polite conversation, and while they are learning how athletic the girls are, they are also probably learning what their telephone numbers are and what school they go to.
Some girls can show off their athletic talents by challenging boys to a volleyball match spontaneously. These girls know how good they are at volleyball because they play the game competitively in their school's athletic program. The boys might think that they will beat the girls because they think they are more athletically inclined to do it. These boys will be sorely distressed when the girl's volleyball team beats them two games out of three.
Volleyball is based more on body techniques than the amount of muscles that a person has, but young people do enjoy looking at flexing muscles that come into being when boys extend their bodies in pursuit of a volleyball that is in their playing area. The girls do not mind at all that the boys are smug and so self-assured, and this type of behavior will usually motivate the girls to play harder than they are used to. Girls can get a lot of satisfaction out of beating boys at any game, but while playing volleyball against boys, the girls might also have other things in mind and let the boys win more than they were supposed to.
An enjoyable day can be experienced by playing volleyball because other activities can be done at the same time. Some people will set up grills and barbeque hamburgers and hotdogs while watching other players enjoy the volleyball game. Most beaches will have volleyball nets set up to entice vacationers to enjoy the beach. Playing games of volleyball relaxes people and gives them the perfect option for enjoying oceanic sceneries while doing it.
People can enjoy playing louder music than normal when they are playing volleyball on the beach. The wide open spaces offered on a public beach make it possible for large groups of people to meet without feeling confined in any way. Some people will make new friends that they can go out with at a later date, because people that like the physical conditioning provided by volleyball practice will likely enjoy other sports as well. Volleyball players can enjoy weight training to harden their muscles to be ready for the next volleyball match that they play on vacation.
