#60 – Another Code (aka Trace Memory)
Another Code was the first game to illustrate the potential of the Nintendo DS as a pre-eminent adventure platform, and remains one of the best to this day. This 2005 release by Cing stands out as a true gem not only for its gentle, melancholy story and characters, but also for the ingenious ways the developer utilized the handheld device's hardware. Fourteen-year old Ashley begins the game believing her parents died when she was a young child, but a mysterious letter turns her world upside down when it reveals that her father is still alive on the remote, ominously-named Blood Edward Island. Upon arriving at the island herself, Ashley ventures out on her own to find him. Soon she runs into the ghost of a boy named D, who seems just as lost as she. Together this unlikely pair explores the island and the massive Edward Mansion to discover the fate of Ashley's family and learn more about D's history.
Throughout the game, Ashley uses a DS-analogue device called a DTS to interact with the world. By exploring every object, players can unlock not only Ashley's story but D's as well. Another Code (known as Trace Memory in North America) makes use of every mechanic and feature the DS has to offer, from a variety of touch screen-based interactions to blowing on the microphone to simulate a strong breath to closing the DS lid to trigger the handheld's sleep mode in order to advance. The game's Japanese developer would go on to create many more innovative adventure games for the system, but Another Code was the first hint of the greatness not only for them but their chosen platform as well.

#59 – Myst III: Exile
Any fears that the acclaimed Myst franchise would suffer in the move from Cyan Worlds to Presto Studios quickly proved unfounded when Exile was released in 2001. Taking place ten years after the events of Riven, the third installment sees the unnamed, unseen stranger arrive at Atrus's house to see a new Age he has created. However, a mysterious antagonist steals the book, seeking revenge on Atrus for crimes that his sons committed. To track down the perpetrator and recover the book, there are three new Ages to explore. Each world offers its own unique flavour, including the industrial-tinged Voltanic island, the Asian theme park-inspired world of Amateria (with its own rideable roller coaster!), and the lush garden world of Edanna. The locations are wonderfully diverse and beautifully rendered, and for the first time in the series you could sweep the camera completely around you for a full panoramic view.
Returning to the self-contained challenges of the original Myst, each Age has its own assortment of puzzle challenges. As usual, many of them are somewhat mechanical in nature, but while not always easy by any means, they are certainly easier than the puzzles in the first two games. To some this marked a regrettable simplification of the series, while to others it represented a more inviting, accessible experience while still delivering a solid challenge and remaining true to the spirit of its predecessors. Brad Dourif's (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) over-the-top live-action portrayal of the villainous Saavedro also met with mixed reactions, but there's no denying he threw himself into the role with gusto. In the end, Exile didn't quite measure up to the quality of its forebears, but it was a worthy sequel in the venerable franchise that still holds up well today.

#58 – Star Trek: Judgment Rites
Not only do you not have to be a Trekkie (or "Trekker" in the more acceptable parlance) to enjoy Star Trek: Judgment Rites, but this 1998 sci-fi classic may just make you one all on its own. Although 25th Anniversary was an admirable attempt to adapt the Enterprise, the Federation, and Klingons to the genre, Judgment Rites is a nearly perfect marriage of adventure convention and all the lore and excitement of the Star Trek universe. It features all the original cast members as voice actors; in fact, it would be the last time that DeForest Kelley ever performed as Dr. McCoy in a released product. Interplay was not an adventure genre heavyweight, but they adapted the Sierra-style interface well for their purposes and spared no expense in creating an excellent inter-galactic adventure.
The story of Judgment Rites is a memorable one, with eight individual scenarios that end up tying together in the philosophical tests of an incredibly memorable final chapter. The storylines include such elements as time travel, a kidnapping of a major crew member, and a return of the character Trelane from an Original Series television episode. It is incredible fan service for existing Star Trek fans, but even for the non-fans it is an exceptional science fiction adventure game that is incredibly well written and acted, feeling big-budget and important in every way. The devastating cancellation of The Secret of Vulcan Fury the following year assured its place as the last, but greatest, Original Series Star Trek adventure game.

#57 – Indigo Prophecy (aka Fahrenheit)
In 2005, Quantic Dream wowed us with the promise of Indigo Prophecy, a dramatic game with a vastly elastic storyline that would change with almost any decision the player made. While the finished product didn't quite live up to the hype, it is nonetheless a fascinating game that explores a ritualistic murder from the opposing perspectives of the bewildered killer and the cops on his tail. Its gameplay is immersive, its art direction stylish and cinematic, and its storyline engrossing (for the first two-thirds, anyway). Long before the Wii, Xbox Kinect, and PlayStation Move, Indigo Prophecy's tactile controls – requiring moving the mouse or gamepad analog stick in a pattern that mimics your character's on-screen action – were one-of-a-kind. Animations and facial expressions are fluid and believable, thanks to extensive use of motion capture. And though the story is sometimes larger than life, it also touches on characters' personal and even intimate moments, giving us an unparalleled connection to the people we're controlling.
Set in an atmospheric New York City that's blanketed in snow and peppered with cinematic camera angles and cuts, Indigo Prophecy (known as Fahrenheit in Europe) was the first game since the FMV era that felt like playing a movie. Its ubiquitous Simon-style Quick Time Events and nonsensical conclusion often draw criticism, but the story-focused gameplay, characters, and initial plot are so well developed and implemented that the game remains an impressive accomplishment. The story may be way more linear than it originally seemed, but tucked within this linearity are a wealth of small actions that players can experiment with to slightly change a scene. At a time when adventures were fighting for mainstream legitimacy, Indigo Prophecy proved that story-driven games can be just as compelling as action blockbusters and feel right at home on consoles as well as PC. It might be a bit too soon to truly understand its impact on the genre, but if the subsequent success of other high-profile games is any indication, the benefit is one we'll be enjoying for years to come.

#56 – In Memoriam (aka MISSING: Since January)
French developer Lexis Numérique has been around since the late '90s, crafting dozens of licensed titles and children's games. In the English-speaking world, however, they're mostly recognized for creating experimental, high-concept adventure games. Their 2003 release In Memoriam (or MISSING: Since January in North America) isn't just a zany experiment, however – it's a dense, satisfying, well constructed adventure unlike any other. Borrowing ideas from alternate reality games, In Memoriam blends fact and fiction as the player does real internet research while solving a series of riddles and arcade-like minigames to save a journalist and his companion from a deranged killer known as The Phoenix.
The game itself is presented as a CD ROM sent out by the killer, daring you to outsmart him. As the mystery unfolds it directs you to a series of dedicated websites hidden online, which begin to unweave a historical conspiracy that suggests The Phoenix might not be quite as crazy as he seems. The story is pretty stock stuff, and will be instantly familiar to anyone brought up on a diet of Broken Sword or Gabriel Knight. But the attention to detail, the careful verisimilitude and some convincing live-action handicam clips recorded by the victims help make the secret world of In Memoriam a believable and engrossing place. The riddles and minigames are challenging and inventive, and the desperate attempt to free the captives gives even the more abstract puzzling tangible meaning. The game may be an acquired taste, but it remains one of the genre's first (if not only) forays into the emerging ARG format, and one that may never be bettered.

Next up: #55-51...
Great idea, i loved the Top 20 list. Though, I'm already sad to see Toonstruck go this high, but oh well.. that's the thing with the lists.
This would also be a good reminder for the games still to play, i've already got my eye on Faust from Day 1.
I Already Hate[TM] this list…
Seriously, I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I can't help but see how inherently silly it is to try to rank things as wildly different as Faust and Toonstruck on the same scale—- and no amount of handwaving in the introduction is going to change that. But on the other hand, I'm already getting caught up in the horse race, glad to see that the Runaway series ended up with the dregs where it belongs, hoping that Day of the Tentacle will join it soon (rather than being at the very top of the list as it was last time), hating that The Dig is at such a low spot, wondering what I would put on the top spot (I guess Monkey Island 1 is, for better or worse, the quintessential adventure game), etc.
In any case, this list has already given me ideas for good games I haven't played yet and that I should give a chance to, and I'm sure there will be many more in the coming days, and for that I am grateful.
Awesome, this'll be something to look forward to each day! :-) Nice to see that Gold Rush! made the list.
Why don't you review some of these games, like Space Bar and Gold Rush? I would love to read your take on them, but they're conspiciously absent from the review boards.
We reviewed Gold Rush, but yes, there are some we haven't, and revisiting these older games for the list has motivated us to get those covered. Really it's as much a matter of availability and compatibility at this point. We don't all still have 20-year old games on hand anymore, or have success getting them to run. But we'll try! Kurufinwe, that's the spirit!
Finally, the TOP 100! Every thematic website should have one of those) I remember earlier TOP 20s on AG, but they weren't that fulfilling, and they were really only one man's point of view.
So far I've only got one big complaint - The Dig. It is not only a great adventure game on its own, but it is also one of the best sci-fi games, with an original, developed story and universe. It is one of the earliest and most organic adventure/puzzle mixes that overshadow Myst. And I'm not even talking about the music, which is arguably one of the best scores in gaming history. The game is at least TOP 50 material.
And I'm also with Kurufinwe with hopes for DoTT. It has seen enough first places already
Won't there be a vote for top 2011 adventure games?
That's the Aggie Awards Totally different animal. And yes, that'll happen in February, as usual, including the reader vote.
I think the last Top 20 list was in April 2004, so this Top 100 list is long overdue. There have been some great games in the last 7 years so it's natural to expand the list. Plus, it helps people like me who like to organize lists of games they've played, plan to play, etc.
already have to disagree, strongly. Toonstruck is far better than The Dig, for starters, yet precedes it. Runaway is just tripe not worth revisiting.. not sure I will bother with the rest to be honest.
Bugger the fact you allready went through the ***1/2 section probably means no BS3, SF: Tunguska or Lost Horizon on the list. I never expected them to end up very high but not at all? Shame. Also imo: Runaway 2 wipes the floor with Runaway 3 whom I consider to be the least good of all installments.
I'm not looking at the rankings at all. Already half the games posted are ones I haven't played, and that's why I read these lists. I don't really care whether my favorite game is at #1 or #100 if it's on the list.
Looks good so far. Iv played half of these first 10 games and i agree with their positions. Iv never been a big fan of the dig, despite its nice production values. The puzzles are boring and tedious and the story goes real flat imo. The atmosphere is nice though and its certainly worth a look for anyone who considers themself an adventure-gamer.
The first snow fell yesterday and now THIS! I cant believe that 2 of my wishes became true on the same day! I have to quote the great Homer on this because I am at a loss for words. "Tramampoline! Trampopoline!"
I have to put this list on my Top 100 things that happened this year
Woot, this is so much fun! I can't wait to see how many of the games in the list I have played! And it's a perfect opportunity to find out what games I missed but really must play. And yes, of course I already hate this list but of course when composing a list like this you are like a politician in the sense that you never do it right. One request: when everything is published, can you then make a list of links to the descriptions of all the games?
Oh yes, there will be a complete list of all the games at the end, with links to their respective article pages, if that's what you mean.
Kudos for giving respect to The Dark Eye! That said, I will very disappointed if there are no Legend Entertainment titles featured.
It would be nice to have the year of release next to each title.
But nice work! , i love these lists although you can never agree 100% with them.
Some great choices on Day 2! Good to see Laura Bow. Also, very pleased to see Dark Fall 1 - a classic I only recently played. The 7th Guest absolutely had to be included on this list. It's hard to overstate how exciting it was when my brother and I got a CD-ROM drive and loaded up this game. It was so different and exciting.
Sordy-wordy, the release year is listed in each and every write-up. Have to give people some incentive to actually read them.
So far I can't agree or disagree with any selection. When it gets closer to the top ten or twenty is where my hackles might rise.
It's nice to see Spycraft and The Dark Eye made it to the top. While not mainstream or well-known, they fully deserve it.
What a fun feature! Several of these games bring back fond memories. I also see quite a few classics I haven't played, some of which I had completely forgotten. I'm enjoying those informative write-ups as well.
I'm very excited to discover the remaining 80!
List continues to look very good. Quest for glory 2 is a favorite of mine and would definitely rank better on my list (especially if you count the drastic improvement by the agd remake), but still a solid write-up of the game.
I already love AG's top hundred! I'm surprised and delighted to see The Space Bar and Spycraft included. So what if nobody agrees with the ranking. I bet not even the staff members themselves agree with it. And this is undoubtedly the most interesting part. When we've reached 35-40, the territory will become all-too familiar: Syberia, Still Life, MI, more LucasArts, the Gabriel Knights, more Sierra, TLE, TLJ, etcetera
Awesome list, I'll save it for future reference!
Should the Quest for Glory series even be nominated for the TOP100 Adventure game?
These games are clearly RPG's in essence. If these are featured on the list, then also "The Elder Scrolls" series (and maybe others) should be featured aswel…
In our books, they should. QFG is a breed all its own, but clearly as much adventures as RPG, unlike Elder Scrolls or any other RPG series.
QFG is definitely "adventure" with "RPG" elements more than the other way around. It also helps they come from Sierra.
I just hope Day of the Tentacle does not retain its #1. =)
Yay SH: The Awakened made it to the list! You might wanna review that review though considering you placed right in the middle of 4 star territory. Plus I think it deserves that extra star.
Oops, actually that's not correct. The further I get the more the ratings drop. That can't be right, can it?
Review scores have nothing to do with this list. Obviously most will be highly rated in both, but not all. For one thing, a review is ultimately just one person's opinion, and this is a full staff effort, and a review is also frozen in time. It doesn't factor in legacy, subsequent enhancements, etc. The Awakened, for example, was considered at least in part because of its remastered version, which did something no other game has ever done.
Steam just now has an excellent offer of the Frogware Sherlock series including Awakened. Bargain prices.
I'm really enjoying this list, too. I know the greatest game of all time probably won't make the pinnacle but I can live with that…I guess. It's entertaining to read what seem to be well considered opinions about so many games I haven't played and might like to one day.
@Jackal: I see, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying that.
Maniac Mansion should be in the top 20 the least…
IMHO it's very dangerous to make all-time lists. But i think this list is very successful and useful so far. or was until #64, The Book of Unwritten Tales. it musn't be in top 100 (imho again.)
Loom is No. 61??? It would be a sin to not include it in the top 25.
Agreed, Loom is one of the most unique and wonderful adventure experiences, way ahead of its time. And BoUT, Drawn, The Awakened might belong to the "Top decent adventure games of the last 5 years", but Top 100… Well, at least Shadow of the Comet made it. Now my soul can rest in peace.
I like Black Dahlia's inclusion. It's a great game, apart from some extremely difficult puzzles and a silly ending. The first 2/3 or so of the game are fantastic AG storytelling.
It's funny that this site's review is 2/5 stars, but the game made it onto this list. Huzzah!
I would have liked to see Toonstruck and Loom a little higher. They're both very charming. I'm hoping to see The Curse of Monkey Island near the top.
from other comments here too, i see that the Loom is the first miss in this nonetheless great list..keep on giving them!as you may say the list depends on the staffs views on each game but still the readers show otherwise. i didnt expect it to reach #1 as it is in my own list (And yes im playing adventure games for 20+ years now) but it should be among t he 25 best titles based on story, MUSIC, interface ,g raphics (For its age)...
I just recently started playing Black Dahlia again so I'm really happy to see that it made it into the top 100. It's a wonderful game!
I found an installer that extracts all 8 cd's into one neat bundle on your HD so you can play if from there with no cd swapping. Also had an option to remove those lines from the FMV sequences and to slow it down on dual core machines so it runs really well on XP.
So it's like playing for the first time…all over again :-)
Nice idea I can't wait to see top games. My favorite games so far are not on the list )) Also this list is going to help me find out about games I missed to play.
Syberia II: you might also like: "A New Beginning" *tries to clean up coffee that slpashed around the screen*
You guys did tremendous work here so one really shouldn't complain but…Dreamfall on #51? I mean in terms of gameplay it might not be perfect but storywise it's by far the best game ever made! Imo it deserves a place in the top 20 but then again it's not my call. Still I think not even in the top50 is very harsh on such a magnificent and awe inspiring game.
Hand me that rag, moonbird. My monitor's dripping, too.
Sharing one's lack of motor control doesn't tell us anything contructive. I stand by the Syberia 2/ANB recommendation 100%.
The only linking thing between the two is that they are 3rd person adventures. Even if I think my brain to breakpoint, I can't see anything else in common. Even the gameplay is totally different. Syberia is uninteractive, ascetic and includes a lot of running, while on the other hand ANB is a crystal clear oppisite: Rich in hotspots, detailed and no running at all. I really would like to hear an explanation for this recommendation. I'm not trying to brag, i'm really just curious, because I can't find the point there.

I'm in the process of rebuilding the Random Number Generator chat functions. The code part isn't horrible but I could use some inspiration.
While getting triggers isn't hard (just sit in chat and watch people mess with it) what I would like is some responses that can be used. For that purpose we are going to have some prizes.
Anyone sending me a Private Message on the forum with a single usable response will get something from Tenkplus, anyone sending 2 or more usable responses will get something and a raffle ticket for the Rares/Items of the Month being given away. Anyone sending 5 or more responses that I can use will get a silver star and a raffle ticket (limited to 5 winners).
Usable responses is something that isn't already a programmed response and something that won't offend 75% of chat the first time it's triggered. If you aren't sure what I'm looking for have a look at the wiki page (which I also need to update):

MyGenie ECO 500 is a great addition to my house cleaning tool. My house is packed with a lot of stuff, but it is able to maneuver well and cleans the house on its own. This saves us lots of time. Surprisingly, the sound emitted from the machine is not too loud. During the entire cleaning process, it did not disturb my children's sleep! This is good news to us as we used to vacuum only when my baby is not in the house as she's afraid of the loud noise emitted by other vacuum machines. It is very easy to empty /clean the dustbin/machine after used. Its compact size saves us lots of storage space. It is truly a great wish granted by MyGenie to make our lives better! Thank you MyGenie AutoCleaner! – Thomas TohMyGenie ECO 500 Testimony From Thomas Toh

Here are my 2 cents on the subject of object mapping tool:
- Software design
I like MCV (Model-Contoller-View) model. In this model any software is broken down into two parts the engine(Model and Controller) and the View. Controller is the means to change the state of the model.
The Engine needs to be able to run whether there is a View attached to it or not. The Engine is the heart of the software. The Model defines data structures and the Controller defined rules that govern the data stored in the structures. It is the part that if you wished you can map out using UML. Engine is the implementation of the model and controller.
View is the presentation to the user of the state of the model that is retrieved through the controller. The view could also be interactive where it sends command back to controller to alter the state of the model.
In short the advantages of this approach would allow the software to become client/server (controller accessible through the network). Multiple views of the model. Multi user access for multi developer environments. Another application can automate tasks by talking to controller directly instead of trying to emulate user's actions in view. Also the view could be GUI, CLI or any new means that allow a human being to interact with the machine.

Inside out (DS <-> O)
- Obtain object metadata (imported or reverse engineered)
- Obtain data store metadata (imported or reverse engineered)
- Link data store meta data to object metadata
- The object mapping tool is a actually three tools that utilize each others information.
This design can be enhanced to allow objects to be mapped to other objects. and allow entire chains of the mapping then you pretty much will create Warehouse ETL tool.
I have noticed that the strongest point was that the tool needs to work for OJB first and while I agree I have to comment that Meta data layer should not be tied to OJB meta data layer. The reason is simple all object persistence mechanisms have to sacrifice ability to do everything for performance and that is absolutely correct in my book. However, the mapping tool does NOT actually move data and so should be able to store additional information that is not used during runtime. Plus I believe that if you make model generic enough people utilizing other persistence engines might give a hand. The more the merrier, right?

To have a complete set of mapping tools we will need at least:
- Forward engineering
- Java to repository.xml and DDL (presumably XDoclet based)
- XMI to Java and repository.xml and DDL (presumably XSL based transformation)
- Reverse engineering
- reading in a DB catalog, selecting tables and generating Java code and repository.xml (see existing reverse-Ddb tool and the existing Eclipse plugin)
- mapping proper
- reading in a DB catalog, selecting tables, reading in classes from the classpath, selecting classes to map, and performing the mapping of classes to table and of attributes to columns.
All four scenarios should reuse as much code as possible. My initial suggestion was to use the org.apache.ojb.broker.metadata.DescriptorRepository the central dataformat for all all transformations. This would lead to the following design:
1a. Java to repository.xml (XDoclet based) and parsing the DescriptorRepository from that file. Then there would be an additional DescriptorRepository to DDL Generator (similar to the RepositoryPersistor that can be used to generate a repository.xml file from a DescriptorRepository instance).
1b. Java to DescriptorRepository transformation (not based on XDoclet, thus some additional work required). Then again the DescriptorRepository to DDL Generator.
2. First a XSL transformation from XMI to Java sourcecode, then same procdure as in 1a or 1b.
3. After reading in and selecting tables a DescriptorRepository instance is constructed from the mapping information. The RepositoryPersistor is used to write the repository.xml file. Java source code can be generated by XSL transformation from the repository XML.
4. During the mapping process a DescriptorRepository instance is built upfrom the mapping information. The RepositoryPersistor is used to write the repository.xml file.
As you can see there is a lot of reuse possible and there are also several thing prepared in the metadata package for a cool mapping toolkit!
The tools should be available as
- Swing based standalone app
- Plugin for Eclipse, Netbeans, etc.
- ant tasks for integration into ant based build routines
Axgen is an interesting candidate for the UML/XMI to repository business:
The idea:
- Do entity modeling using argoUML
- Generate Java classes, OJB repository and DDL script for DB creation
Very interesting existing solutions:

DbMeta and ClassMeta are two component witch are responsible to get the information from different data sources in a unique form. This two component will also be used from the OJBGenerator.
ClassGenerator is responsible to generate the Classes form the DbMeta-Modell and additional properties for the ClassGenerator component.
TableGenerator is responsible to generate the db tables or ddl or sql-scripts from the ClassMeta-Model and additional properties for the Table Generator.
ClassTableMapper is responsible to map the classes form the ClassMeta-model to the DbMeta-modle.
OJBGenrator is responsible to generate the proper OJB repository files from DbMeta-Model and ClassMeta-Model.
- The view component makes the graphical representation of the different Meta-Model and to make it easy for an user to deal with the different components.
This design allows making the system changeable and extensible for other requirements. It will be possible to replace every component by an other component, if somebody does not like the default components.

The goal of this effort is to create a database mapping tool. There shall be a plugin mechanism to easily integrate implementation for certain problem domains. It is not intended to extend functionality to create UML diagrams, as this is already covered by wide-spread, freely available tools.
The tool shall be published under the Apache Software License. Therefore all components used must be available with a license that is deemed compatible with the Apache Software License by the Apache Foundation. All code directly contributed to the effort (i.e. not in form of a class library) must have the copyright assigned to the Apache Foundation to enable integration into an Apache project.
read & edit OJB repository declaration
- read database schema
- read existing java source hierarchy
- read existing class file hierarchy (i.e. .jar files)
transformation forward and backward between problem domains where possible (e.g. database schema -> java source files, OJB repository -> database)
- functionality must be accessible from a graphical environment as well as from command line
- extensive test suite for at least those funcational blocks that are not dependending on a graphical user interface, testing procedures for graphical components where possible and feasable.
GUI framework
A GUI framework shall be used for creating the user interface. All graphical elements shall be designed with tool support (e.g. Netbeans) for easier maintenance, therefore there needs to be appropriate tool support for the framework. These tools must be available freely so more developers can contribute to the project. The following frameworks are taken into consideration for now:
- SWT (by IBM, tool support is unknown)
- Pros: ?
- Cons: ?
- AWT (included in JRE, free tools are available).
- Pros: Quick due to native implementation of widgets.
- Cons: Possible incompatiblitites between Java platforms.
- Swing (included in JRE, free tools are available)
- Pros: Very portable, widespread tool support.
- Cons: Possibly not the quickest solution.
Pardon the intrusion:
I have used the TopLink Mapping Workbench, a proprietary O/R mapping tool, and found it to be adequate if not sexy. Based on that experience, I would suggest that it would be helpful to have the "Visual O/R mapping tool" generate an XML representation of the mappings, 1:1, 1:N, N:N, etc. A "back-end" process could then convert the XML to the underlying "native" mapping.
The advantages? This would make the "front-end" attractive beyond the scope of this project. It would also allow the development of multiple front-ends... One using Swing for Sun One, another using SWT for Eclipse, etc. It would even allow the occasionaly odd-ball to generate the mappings using a text editor (shudder). Just a thought.

Personalised Cherished Number Plates
Since their humble beginning in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized possessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
The First Number Plate Ever Issued
A1 assigned in 1903
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.
You can find out where your personalised registration number plate was originally issued here.
Sharjah: Fierce bidding at a Sharjah Police licence plate online auction raked in Dh3.4 million for a single plate numbered "15", said Sharjah Police.
In total, Dh9.8 million was raised from the auction of 100 unique number plates.

Trevor, or Stretch to his mates because he is "very tall", is a mine worker who loves his car so much that his choice of numberplate had to reflect that passion.
The GT4EVA plates take pride of place on his XY GT Falcon.
"I just wanted to put some numberplates on it that stood out from the rest," Trevor said.
He is one of 3644 Rockhampton region residents who in the past year have personalised their vehicle with unique numberplates.
The plates cost from $165 to $3300 and the region is home to a wide array of unique registrations including these beauties: OMG MUD, HIP100, L1VE1T, C1NDYS, SPUNKYB and FORD36.
For some people, personalised plates are like chips - you can't have just one.
And Trevor is a prime example of that.
He has MAC392 on his Mustang and he also has TKD11 (his initials and date of birth) on another vehicle and SRD12 on his partner's car.
"I just love them - it just makes your car different to everybody else's," Trevor said.
Personalised Plates Queensland managing director Jemma Elder said more than 750,000 personalised plates had been issued.
Jemma said vehicle owners were happy to spend big on them because they were a "fun and creative way" to express themselves.
"A lot of people are very proud of their vehicles and it's a way for them to express themselves and their passion for their cars and to complement the look of their car," she said.
While most people opt for letter and number combinations that will not offend, there are some motorists who like to choose plates that are not appropriate for our roads.
"We work very closely with the Department of Transport and Main Roads who provide very strict guidelines to adhere to," Jemma said.
"We run every plate against the very strict assessment criteria to ensure they are clean and that they are appropriate for display."
While PPQ sells the unique regos on more than 250 types of plates and designs, it's the DTMR that produces the finished plate.
Canberrans who want to show their support for marriage equality can now do so in a novel way - rainbow number plates.
Following the legalisation of same-sex marriage, the ACT government has announced it will bring into circulation number plates with a rainbow band instead of the traditional slogan.
The colourful plates will cost a one-off fee of $60 and regulatory services minster Gordon Ramsay said he expected demand for them to be high.
The fee covers the cost of production of the plate, and unlike the rainbow buses and roundabout, Mr Ramsay said there would be no extra cost to the ACT taxpayer.
ACT government to offer free marriage certificates for same-sex couples who wed when briefly legal in Canberra
Location chosen for Canberra's rainbow roundabout
"The government has been supportive all the way through of people's rights," Mr Ramsay said.
"We're the most welcoming and inclusive city and I want to make sure we continue to be able affirm that and celebrate that."
Three in four Canberrans voted in favour of legalising same-sex marriage in the recent postal survey, an "emphatic" result Chief Minister Andrew Barr said gave the government licence to make Canberra more "inclusive".
By submitting your email you are agreeing to Fairfax Media's terms and conditions and privacy policy.
Asked if the number plates could make cars a target given 26 per cent of the ACT voted against marriage equality, Mr Ramsay said he had "full confidence" Canberrans would respect the rights of others.
People can apply to have their existing 'Y' series plates remade with the rainbow design, although it will take about four weeks.
The government also announced on Friday it will waive $55 certificate fee for couples married previously under the ACT's Marriage Equality (Same Sex) Act 2013 if they marry again.
Couples who previously registered a civil union under the Civil Union Act 2012 can also have their fee waived.
There are about 80 couples eligible in a move that is expected to cost the ACT government about $4400.
ACT Opposition leader Alistair Coe criticised the government's "grandstanding and expenditure of public resources".
"All Canberrans, regardless of their sexuality, deserve a government that concentrates on health, education and all the other actual responsibilities of the ACT government," Mr Coe said.
MOTORISTS in the UK are still being targeted by new DVLA email, message and text message scams in Britain and here's what to do if you are.
Criminals posing as the Driver Vehicle Licence Agency (DVLA) are still sending bogus messages to motorists, to attempt to maliciously acquire data or money from them.
These criminals are being exposed on Twitter now as motorists are savvily becoming wise to these messages.
DCI David Coleman, Deputy Director of Intelligence, Kent & Essex SCD tweeted a picture of a fake text he received.
The message read "We would like to notify you that you have an outstanding vehicle tax refund of GBP 220.50 from an overpayment, request refund dvlc.au1h.com."
The DVLA has been explicit in the past about its policy regarding contacting customers.
It replied to a customers reporting another potential phishing scam saying "we're already aware of this scam and we are investigating.
"We advise drivers that we don't send texts that contain links. Please ignore it and don't click on any link."
On its website it reiterates how it will never contact a driver via text or email.
"We're aware that some members of the public are receiving emails, texts and telephone calls claiming to be from DVLA.
"Links to a website mocked up to look like a DVLA online service are sometimes included in the message.
If you are buying the plates separately then you'll need to go to a registered number plate supplier to get new number plates for your vehicle. The registered supplier will need proof of your identity, as well as proof that the registration number belongs to you. The number plate supplier will need to see at least one document from each of the lists below. This will allow the number plate supplier to confirm your name, address and entitlement to the registration number. All documents must be original, not copies.
Halfords has commissioned a survey which asked whether the respondents were in favour of number plates for cyclists. A "convincing" 59 percent of respondents were in favour of such a measure, said Halfords, with the retailer claiming the suggestion would "encourage responsible riding."
However, the survey has been criticised by motoring and cycling groups. AA president Edmund King told BikeBiz: "The AA believes that the introduction of number plates for cyclists would be impractical and unnecessary – police already have the powers to stop cyclists."
Cycling UK's head of campaigns and advocacy Duncan Dollimore said: "[The] government has consistently reached the conclusion that such proposals are disproportionate and unnecessary." And British Cycling's policy advisor Chris Boardman said: "No country in the world requires bicycles to be registered because it does not serve the public interest – it would be hugely expensive and drastically cut the number of people who cycle."
The number plate proposal from one of the leading UK retailers of motor-vehicle number plates is included in a press release that has been teased out to the mainstream media over the last couple of days. (The embargo ended one minute ago.) It's possible that the press release will result in some negative coverage for cycling, especially following the recent blanket media coverage given to Matthew Briggs' campaign to incorporate death and serious injury cycling offences into the Road Traffic Act.
The online survey of 2,042 adults was carried out in August by YouGov and has led to the production of "Sharing the Road", a 20-page infographic-heavy report produced for Halfords by its external PR company. The document has a foreword by the retailer's chief customer officer Karen Bellairs, who said "we wanted to examine whether there was a genuine willingness among cyclists and motorists to share the road."
The survey asked whether cyclists should have to take proficiency tests before being allowed to cycle on the public highway, and also asked whether motorists should be required to ride bicycles as part of the driving test. (The answers, respectively, were 50 percent and 18 percent in favour.) Respondents were also asked whether penalties should be increased for cyclists "who don't abide by the Highway Code" and ditto for motorists who "drove aggressively near cyclists." (86 percent and 80 percent respectively.)
Article continues below
While Halfords may claim that it is not itself advocating for cyclists to be forced to carry number plates, or for sanctions against cyclists to be increased, it's clear that they were the questions put to respondents by YouGov, and provided to them by Z PR of London on behalf of Halfords.
"What our new research makes very clear is that the car is still the nation's favourite means of getting around," said Bellairs, adding that "there is massive support among motorists for better training, more cycle lanes and improved facilities for cyclists." (45 percent of survey respondents said there ought to be "dedicated cycle lanes on all roads".)
Bellairs also claimed that the survey showed, with no evidence provided other than the online questioning, that there was a "genuine willingness" from Britain's motorists to "share the road." She said that this is something that "Halfords, which champions motoring as well as cycling, is very keen to foster."
The Sharing the Road report advises cyclists to "be a peacock" and to "always make sure you're wearing bright clothing when cycling, whether it's a high vis jacket or a high vis vest" but it does not contain similar advice for motorists (Halfords missed a trick here, it could have suggested motorists buy its spray-cans of yellow paint so they can make their cars more conspicuous).
The Halfords press release – which is headlined "Britons back tougher penalities for people who cycle aggressively but drivers and cyclists want to work better together" – states that "65% agree that cyclists should be required to wear reflective clothing, to give them the best chance of being seen."
Required? As in forced? That won't endear the company to many cycling customers.
There was no survey result – or, presumably, any question – about the compulsory wearing of helmets for everyday journeys, either for cyclists or motorists. However, there were questions and answers about cycle servicing. A perhaps surprising 48 percent of those asked said they could mend cycle punctures. And, in what will be news to independent bike shops, 43 percent of Brits can "tighten a loose chain"; 37 percent "know how to adjust their own brakes"; and 31 percent "can clean their gear mechanisms." (Those answers should make one wary of all the others.)
The report goes on to claim that an "overwhelming 93% think it would be beneficial for all education on road safety to be aimed at cyclists and motorists," as if it isn't already.
Responding to the Halfords report, the AA president told BikeBiz:
"Most cyclists are drivers and many drivers are cyclists so we need to live in harmony with each other. Rather than harsher penalties all round, we believe it is preferable to promote better training, infrastructure and positive attitudes."
King said he didn't believe there was a requirement for harsher penalties for law-breaking cyclists:
"There are already penalties in place for cyclists who don't abide by the Highway Code and we believe that targeted enforcement alongside education courses are a more effective way of making our roads safer."
The AA president added that existing laws need to be enforced first.
"We would prefer to see targeted police enforcement through schemes such as Operation Safe Pass whereby the police target dangerous drivers [who pass too closely to cyclists]," said King.
While careful not to criticise Halfords directly (the retailer and Cycling UK partnered for a project earlier this year) Dollimore was critical of the report's timing: "Given the uneven tone of the current debate on cycling, it was perhaps optimistic to expect this survey would be a constructive addition to the discussion."
He added: "We already knew some people instinctively think regulation and testing of cyclists is the answer. Those people frequently fail to appreciate the practicalities of imposing and enforcing regulations on children, the costs involved, or the public health and other implications of putting up further barriers to cycling. Fortunately government has consistently reached the conclusion that such proposals are disproportionate and unnecessary.
"Ultimately, there are opinions expressed in this survey which we agree with, and others we don't, but the truth is this is merely a summary of what people said in response to a series of questions. It's far better, when suggesting a need for change, to assess the arguments for and against, and this is precisely the point we will make to government as it considers its forthcoming cycle safety review."
Boardman said "compulsory proficiency tests and number plates, are quite obviously non-starters and cannot be regarded as a serious contribution to the public debate on road safety."
He added: "The reality is that [British Cycling], and other cycling organisations, already work with groups representing pedestrians and motorists to find ways to make our streets safer for everyone. Indeed Halfords themselves are part of our #ChooseCycling Network of British businesses that strongly believe more cycling is crucial to help business thrive, to encourage people to live healthier lives and to make Britain a greener, less congested and more pleasant place to live."
Boardman – who has an eponymously named brand stocked by Halfords – stressed that "laws should be developed using evidence, focusing proportionately on those with the ability to cause most harm. Around 1,800 people die on British roads annually and more than 99 percent involve collisions with motor vehicles."
It should be noted that there are no restrictions on using a vanity or cherished registration on a car that is newer than the original date of the registration plate, but it is prohibited to transfer a registration that is newer than the vehicle it is used on. This is to prevent the transfer of newer registrations to older vehicles as a measure to protect consumers.

It was only yesterday when we reported that Microsoft released an update for Windows Phone 7.8 hardware, which was believed to address the Live Tile issues consumers have been experiencing. Unfortunately this turned out to not be the case, but the company has begun rolling out another build that's confirmed to do just that.
7.10.8862.144 is the latest version, which (according to the Windows Phone website) fixes bugs many have experienced since updating to Windows Phone 7.8. We've received reports that consumers are already receiving the follow-up release. Second time lucky, folks? Let us know if you've received the update and believe the Live Tile issues are no more.
Thanks to everyone who tipped us!

Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) - Civil Engineering -- 2
Buxheti $50-180 USD
Compilation of a Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) describing your engineering practice.
The purpose of the CDR is to demonstrate how you have applied your engineering knowledge and skills;
The major assessable features of the CDR are narratives written in English of three career episodes and a Summary Statement of the competency elements followed by Identification of Continuing Professional Development
Career Episods:
You are required to present an account of your engineering activities on each of three separate career episodes. A career episode is a documented component of your engineering education and/or work experience which captures a particular period or distinct aspect of your engineering activity. It needs to clearly demonstrate the application of engineering knowledge and skills in the nominated occupation, not the acquisition of knowledge.
It may use material from:
• an engineering task undertaken as part of your educational program;
• a project you have worked on or are currently working on;
• a specific position that you occupied or currently occupy (in this case, the career episode must comprise
more than a mere duty statement);
• a particular engineering problem that you were required to solve.
Do not present large amounts of technical material. It is recommended that each narrative be a minimum of about 1000 words and a maximum of about 2000 words.
Each career episode must clearly demonstrate the application of engineering knowledge and skills in the engineering discipline. That is, state "what you did" and describe "how you did it", with emphasis on your own personal actions, eg "I designed...", "I investigated...". Excessive technical detail (diagrams, photos, calculations, tables) are not required. Each career episode should emphasize any engineering problems identified and any particular problem solving techniques used by you. The purpose of this is to assess the nature of the contribution which you may have made to the engineering project or task - particularly if that contribution was of a novel nature or critical to the implementation of the task/project.
Please note that it is not sufficient to merely describe work in which you were involved. Your own role in the work must be clearly described by you, and be identifiable in the assessment.
Further details and guidelines are attached with this including sample report.

Liverpool have stated that there has been "no contact" from Europol, the European Union's criminal investigation arm, who have reportedly included the Reds' 1-0 Champions League group stage win over Hungarian outfit Debrecen in an investigation into match-fixing.
Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet claimed the 2009 fixture at Anfield is one of the matches under investigation, but stressed that no accusation has been leveled at Liverpool.
But a spokeperson for the Anfield club confirmed to Goal.com that neither Europol nor Uefa have yet made contact with them regarding the matter.
The report in Ekstra Bladet claimed Serbian goalkeeper Vukasin Poleksic was approached by fixers intending to rig the betting market for total goals in the fixture, though that ultimately failed as Debrecen only conceded one goal, courtesy of Dirk Kuyt's winner.
Liverpool are understood to be uninvolved in the accusations and no one at the club is alleged to have acted improperly.
Poleksic was also involved in another match that German police had established was fixed - Debrecen's 4-3 loss to Fiorentina in the same Champions League campaign. Poleksic was later banned for two years by Uefa for failing to report the approach from a Croatian-led criminal gang. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) later upheld the ban after Poleksic claimed innocence.
Europol are investigating 380 suspicious matches in 15 countries, though director Rob Wainwright refused to identify the match in question because of "ongoing judicial procedures".
When contacted by Goal.com on Tuesday, Europol declined to comment on any media reports, insisting they cannot comment on specific players or clubs while the investigation is ongoing.
However the Ekstra Bladet report identifies the Liverpool versus Debrecen game and claims that text messages obtained by the police from those behind the match-fixing ring lamented missed opportunities from Steven Gerrard that would have made the margin of victory larger.
Meanwhile, the Hungarian club say that the two-year ban handed out to Poleksic in 2010 for not reporting match-fixing approaches prior to the Liverpool match confirm that the alleged offences have been dealt with.
In a Debrecen statement first published in 2010, the club reiterated: "In the view of the Uefa Disciplinary Committee, Vukasin Poleksic failed to comply with his duties when he did not report to Debrecen that before two Champions League matches unknown people tried to persuade him to influence the result.
"The investigation revealed that Poleksic rejected the requests. Furthermore, the probe found that the matches were not influenced by anything connected with the bribery.
"But the player committed an error by failing to inform the authorities immediately, therefore he was punished for not meeting the reporting requirement."

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of my brother-in-law Michael, a survivor, and all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure!
Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission.
I hope you will visit my web site often. Be sure to check back frequently to see my progress. Thanks for your support!0

The Heslas say the wheels are available in two sizes, 13 gauge and 11 gauge. The unique rim design allows for the removal of mud, fodder and other field refuse from the gauge wheel, which significantly reduces plugged units. The father-son team explains more about the system in the following video. Back to news

Single-pole magnet emerges in frozen concoction
Experiment simulates long-sought magnetic particle

Somewhere lurking in the universe, most physicists agree, are minuscule magnets with just one pole — a north or a south, but not both. Scientists haven't spotted any yet, but a new experiment offers an unprecedented glimpse at what these elusive magnetic particles should look like.
"It provides a window into the physics of the particle without having the particle itself in front of you," says David Hall, the physicist at Amherst College in Massachusetts who led the research.
Magnets seem to come in only one variety, with two poles like a bar magnet's. But in 1931, Nobel-prize winning physicist Paul Dirac demonstrated mathematically that single-pole magnets, known as monopoles, could exist. His mathematical reasoning was so strong that most physicists today have little doubt of monopoles' existence, despite decades of fruitless searches for them at CERN and other leading institutions.
Hall had rarely thought about monopoles until
