http://youtu.be/j9iGnlrz5Us. The one I'm refering to, and I can't seem to find it at this moment, was one which featured a reinactment of the infamous Spago bar fight, complete with grainy b&w camera work and actors in wigs playing the main parts.
Anyway, reminding myself that this a V&W thread, Best of luck to Tessa & Scott at the GPF.
The Russians definitely bring the drama ... on and off the ice
I personally don't mind going on these types of tangents, especially when there's a lull between competitions. I am anticipating the GPF and the battle between V/M and D/W. I'm definitely going to miss this rivalry once one of these teams retire.
V/M already possessed the ice dance qualities I most value, but for me they have taken their skating/dancing to another level with the Carmen program and I hope they keep pushing forward, regardless of whether the judging system/judges reward it at present.
I guess I was just trying to demonstrate that I do give D&W credit for what they do as I've been accused of hating D&W in the past. I get the feeling that some might feel that some of us stating that there really shouldn't be a rivalry (especially not this season) is just sour grapes and hating on them because we are V&M fans who aren't open to anyone who might be a threat to them.
I agree with everything you've listed as the criteria that icedance used to be judged on. Some things in dance are always going to be subjective but there truly are objective criteria as listed in the rules that can be applied to every team. Every thing you described above is a perfect description of V&M. Every so often the judges seem to change what they value in dance and maybe this is just one of those times. Continuing to attempt explaining why some of us feel that V&M and D&W just might not be that closely matched with one another (with clean skating on the parts of both teams) is like banging your head against the wall. And it causes bad feelings and blow ups.
I just want to see V&M finally pull everything together and skate their programs full out. I don't think I can love the Waltz and Carmen more than I already do but it should be something to behold.
It's a given that most teams have strengths and weaknesses but with some teams their strengths outweigh those of other teams. All of the things I readily give D&W credit for V&M possess as well along with those criteria flowerpower listed. That V&M have speed and difficulty along with all the other things is what makes me feel that they are (at least on paper) better than D&W. What has helped D&W is that they have a higher performance level in general. For the most part they have not been hampered by the nerves (or physical issues) that V&M have thus haven't had the deductions and +GOE that V&M have.
As for teams collecting medals left and right and beating all the other teams being an indication that they are equal; by your reasoning that means that F/P&M were also an excellent deserving team. The same goes for Grishuk/Platov and we know that isn't neccesarily the truth. How many times have most of the posters at FSU stated their opinions that F/P&M were a terrible team gifted (it was bought up again in the What If? K&O thread currently going) and beneficiaries of bad judging calls. As well as C&S and L&A and Domshabs. Grishuk/Platov have also collected a load of medals and wins but people still question, debate and challenge whether or not those were deserved especially with the falls that team used to have in their skates.
Just because teams win medals and receive placements doesn't mean those medals and placements are accurate (this is just a general statement, not neccesarily directed completely at D&W).
I don't think questioning this one rivalry and wondering whether it is really is a rivalry makes people think that everytime their favorite team does not win it's because of fraud. Or maybe I give people too much credit for being able to apply the judging criteria case by case or rather team by team.
I didn't see that sentiment stated when P&B won their World bronze last year and many felt that W&P had been ripped off.
It's what I've been trying (unsuccessfully it seems) to get across that it's okay to discuss most of the other teams but something about D&W this quadrennial seems to set people off.
At this point it I'm not even sure why I bring it up anymore. Many of us have our opinions and those opinions at this late date aren't going to change. If anything, this years sets of programs have made some of us (no matter what our opinions are) more adamant in those opinions.
Saying D&W are V&M's equals is a particularly funny thing because they are so far from it I sometimes wanna cry.
Just in terms of lines, extensions, posture, stretch and control, V&M are so so far ahead of anyone else. In comparison, D&W never ever corrected that and their skating always look frantic.
It's just the difference between ice dance and speed dance
Noone can accuse me of being a rabid V&M fan, and I always favored D&W because at least they were selling their crapastic programs. But this year, FINALLY, V&M have two programs worthy of their talent. It was just about time.
And don't get me started on B&K. Please
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
The spin is beautifully conceived, it just needs to be more centered, even if they don't have the greatest speed. It was better at SC than in Russia and they had higher GOE for it.
iNap knows the art of trolling well. I salute you, sir (or ma'am). Tip of the hat

Thank you once again for a great post, Carmen, you hit the chore of the problem as always and you express your thoughts so well
About Tessa and Scott's spins, contrary to what iNap thinks (), i personally find them one of the highest emotional points of all their programs and this since Umbrella. They are also so in tune with the rithm and the mood of the music and they approach them with perfect expression. the fact that they don't rotate super-fast gives us the chance to admire the positions of their bodies, that always reflect the music, and also to see their facial expression. Think of the ending spin of Mahler, what a touching, restful yet poignant ending for this trascendent work of art. Who cares if they don't appear as superdifficult, supertechnical and superfast, when they are such expressive spins? in those moments the last thing i pay attention to is the technique.
didn't TAT say one that they use the technical element to express the music?
The spin may not appear to be superdifficult or supertechnical. That doesn't mean that it isn't both of those things.
Their FD spin is spectacular this year. It's one of the rare times I've seen a spin that is truly choreographed to add to a program, rather than just be a pretty thing that fits the overall theme.
There are so many things I like in the FD. I was just thinking about that twirl Scott does in he Adagio section, where he leans his head back and looks at Tessa. It's such a simple move, but so difficult to do beautifully. I'm so glad they chose to really focus on dance this season.
At the risk of sounding like a ~hater~ I never knew D&W were supposed to be such great spinners. I've never even really noticed them either way. I'll try to watch for them next time.
IMO, if we're analyzing it element by element, then we're already missing the point about what ice dancing is supposed to be.
Now its interresting to know - where did T-S spend all this time after CoR? They were in Ottawa last week, coaches was in Japan.
So they will have one week before GPF?
And could someone help to find V-M Gala pratice from SC and grup number from SC, focusing on T-S, where they dance slow dance together.
Proustable, I just got a chance to really look at your post from a few days ago, and since we're so far off topic already, I wanted to continue.
I totally understand your point about not being able to separate tech from artistry, and you're right, certain points of technique are in themselves artistic, like the run G&P get off a blade. However, I do think there's too much emphasis on the elements now, and not enough on the finer points. It intersects the discussion we're having now about Carmen. All of those little extra things that V&M do like him caressing her in the spin are adding difficulty, but not levels or GOE. A lot of couples IMO play it safe and try to find the easiest way to get high levels, and don't add anything extra if it won't add points. It's kind of a utilitarian approach. It's more technically challenging to perform footwork in hold close together with matching lines and pointed toes, but if that doesn't add to the marks, some dancers don't do it. Granted, not everyone did that under 6.0 either.
We completely disagree about SLC. That and Nagano are my absolute favorite Olympics, I loved almost every dance down to the 12th-15th place range. However, 1994 is my least favorite, and that was under 6.0, so I'm not necessarily saying every season of 6.0 was better than CoP.
By lower ranked, I meant outside of the top 5, and of course I like some programs, but something is missing for me. I hate to pick on the Russians, but the death of Russian ice dancing has just been excruciating to watch for me. They churn out so many dancers with great flow and beautiful long lines, but terrible, terrible programs. I think I&K with their skills would've done amazingly under 6.0, but all I can see now if their ugly lifts which they have to do to earn points and which ruin my impression of almost all their programs. And Bobrova, she is such a lovely skater, but I feel like she pushes hard down into the ice to get the edge calls on footwork, and then her posture ruins the look of the dance. Under 6.0 she would have the freedom to show off her beautiful lines in a way that looks good, and with the expressiveness we are seeing from Soloviev this season, they could create a masterpiece, which IMO they've not done. V&M are to me the only ones that do really difficult stuff and still make it look good, so I agree with you that having an artistic program with mind-blowing elements is wonderful, I just don't see it happening as often. P&B are good, but I see strain in some elements, and that takes away from the impression.
Agree with all that. I guess I just see it as V&M being such an exquisitely rare talent and not the system necessarily. Most of my favorite CoP era dances have come from couples who started under 6.0. Out of the ones that are considered to have grown up with the new system, I like a number of them, but the only ones that truly grab me are V&M.I mean, ten years ago, we could be talking about how incredible Valse Triste was and such a shame they couldnt make the top ten with it, but theyd get their turn someday. Instead, COP allows us to point out that technically, they were in the top three and made sixth overall, despite being so low ranked that they skated first (!) in the compulsories at their first worlds. Hell, I see more technical difficulty in V/Ms Malaguena than in B/Ks Riverdance, honestly. And just as much artistry
And even there, V&M really did come up under 6.0 to an extent. They competed at Jr Worlds under 6.0, so all of their basic training came before CoP was invented. They still had to train compulsories regularly. It will be interesting to see a whole new generation of ice dancers who weren't born until CoP was in effect. They might do a better job bridging the gap because maybe by then, everyone will be at a really high technical level and they will have to have those little extra things in their programs to distinguish themselves.

Pump. Pump. Sam Houser's heart is pounding. The most reclusive man in video games and the mastermind behind the 150-million-selling Grand Theft Auto series is biking to work in the pouring rain. His custom pink Independent Fabrication racer weaves through New York City traffic, the type of chaotic gridlock Grand Theft Auto players love to career through in a stolen car. Houser has a heavy nest of a black beard he rarely cuts, one that provides him the anonymity he covets as he speeds through the streets from Brooklyn to the SoHo office of Rockstar Games. "I do this 365 days a year," he says. "Sometimes the snow's so deep I have to carry my bike over the bridge. But every day, every day."
Houser, 42, counts on the bike ride to calm him down. "The bike is the best way for it. It's very meditative." Meditation is good; so is yoga, and Houser is an avid practitioner of both. When he really needs to chill, he'll choose a ride from his enviable collection and pedal 60 miles to Bear Mountain, because creating the most popular—and controversial—video game series in history is fraught with tension. A relaxed Sam is a better Sam, as those around him know.
But not many know him. In fact, in the past five years, Houser hasn't given a long interview to anyone but me, and that's baffling, because what he has to say is sincere, compelling and complex. He can be both insightful and rebellious, embracing different cultures and at the same time full of a healthy paranoia in a kind of punk-rock, hip-hop sort of way. He is an astute student of human nature and, as president of Rockstar Games, a tough negotiator when contracts come up for renewal with parent company Take-Two Interactive.
Partly because of his reputation as a loner and recluse, everyone from journalists who can't get interviews to a handful of disgruntled former employees has labeled Houser crazy. He is not. He can be intensely private, even avoiding a GTA voice actor when he comes in to record his voice-over work. Houser is a workaholic and he's stubborn, clearly used to getting his way when he knows he's right, but he's definitely not crazy. In fact, there's something about Sam Houser that is close to genius. If Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto is the Steven Spielberg of video games, Houser is the Martin Scorsese.
Of course, there is more to Houser than that, just as there is more to Grand Theft Auto than stealing cars. Much more, in fact. Behind the high-speed chases, shoot-outs and plot twists, Rockstar's games are a virtual stylebook curated by Houser and his brother, Dan, Rockstar's head writer and vice president of creative. Sly references to the coolest music, art and films pop up everywhere, from radio stations loaded with Rick Ross and Aphex Twin to art pieces that appear in the background, pulled directly from New York City galleries. These references are decoded by fans the way a Basquiat mention by Jay Z is googled by hip-hop kids or a dusty rock-and-roll song is resurrected after appearing in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
All this percolates through a world of brutal violence and black humor set in the grittiest of crime films and mashed up into a fictional New York or Los Angeles urban environment. Hollywood producers would die to make a film of the series. Houser and Rockstar have always said no. Houser says no to a lot of things: to being photographed, to participating in the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo game convention that takes place every summer in Los Angeles ("It's like a big, sort of willy-waving exercise") and to interviews. "More so than ever before, in a world where people are just out to be famous for being famous and want to be interviewed for being interviewed, it seems like a funny practice," he says, shaking his head.
We are sitting in the Rockstar office's media room, which is outfitted with a giant flatscreen TV and killer sound system. The room sits on the other side of a lobby complete with an ultra-rare Warrior arcade game and a vintage Defender cabinet. It's a few weeks before the release of Grand Theft Auto V, and the stakes—and the stress—have never been higher. Grand Theft Auto IV, released in 2008, had a budget of more than $100 million. It made $500 million in its first week. This year's Grand Theft Auto V, five years in the making, cost a reported $266 million and, a few weeks after our discussion, will bring in $800 million its first day. Three days later it will top $1 billion.
But that's still weeks away, and on this afternoon an optimistic yet anxious Houser, wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, gray shorts and running shoes, sits on the edge of a couch. "Grand Theft Auto is a double-edged sword. The fans want bigger, better—you know, higher quality. It's a privilege to have an audience that is demanding like that. But it's also a challenge. You have to meet their expectations." He crosses his arms. "I go to bed at night with the game there. I wake up, and that's the first thing I see. At several points in the course of this game I've had to really calm myself down, because I'm at home playing with my kids, and all I can see is the fucking game, like, running in my mind. I'm like.…" He lets out a low, frustrated growl. "This isn't ideal."
There is no doubt Grand Theft Auto V is the magnum opus for Rockstar Games, a company with six development studios around the world and hundreds of employees, all of whom helped Scotland's 300-strong Rockstar North build the game. All told, the team computer-generated more than 40 square miles of painstakingly designed forest, city, ocean and desert. "We went out to the Salton Sea and were absolutely gobsmacked by it," Houser says, rocking back and forth on the black leather couch. "We made sure we were going to have a whole section that was dedicated to that sort of atmosphere, because we'd never seen anything like it before in our lives." It's within the creepily beautiful, fictionalized Salton Sea with its offbeat, sometimes nasty residents and haunting, starry nights that Trevor, the bat-shit craziest of the game's three new characters, resides in a rusty single-wide trailer. Trevor, along with Michael and Franklin, is one of the trio of diverse criminals whose story lines weave through the game.
Houser feels he has a bit of each character in him. "You know, Michael is constrained and contained with his midlife crisis. As my brother says, we've been having midlife crises from about 12 years old. Franklin, the sort of street guy, I certainly fancy myself in that mode. However, for a privately educated Londoner, albeit an American citizen now, I think it's a bit of a stretch—but somewhere inside me I do. And then Trevor's a psychopath, and you can fill in the blanks there." Truth be told, Houser explains, there's a bit of each criminal in all of us.
On his BlackBerry, Houser shows off a photo of his mother, Geraldine Moffat, a fine actress who plays the gorgeous and often naked Glenda in Get Carter, the seminal 1971 British gangster film starring Michael Caine. Except here Mum is clad in the kind of sci-fi performance-capture suit computer animators use to manipulate the human form into games. "Dan hatched a really fun idea for our mum. The performance was fantastic. She came out here when she did the thing, and it was just so amazing, the energy that it gave her. She just loved it."
The Housers' actress mother and jazz musician father, Walter, are key to the Rockstar story. Sam, born in 1971 in London, and Dan, born two years later, weren't exactly coddled as children. Geraldine and Walter demanded two things of the brothers: "Do your homework," which Houser feels made him compulsive about work, and "Don't do drugs," which kept the brothers straight. (That doesn't mean Sam didn't experiment; he just didn't overindulge.) They fought like brothers—Sam even broke his hand punching Dan—but they also looked out for each other. Like the time bullies stole Dan's ball and Sam, a devoted rugby player and judo practitioner, sped off to Palewell Common park to confront four older kids. "The main guy came up to me and I sort of did a judo throw and threw him on the ground," Sam says. "I thought I was like Jean-Claude Van Damme or Bruce Lee or something." But Sam didn't know anything more than throws. The bully got up, "smashed me in the face and knocked me out. Huge black eye. But I did get the ball back," he says, laughing. "Periodically I'll see that person, and I still hide from him."
Although he was a lawyer by day, Walter was often seen playing jazz at Ronnie Scott's, a club he helped run that's a kind of London Birdland. Post-gig, the jazzmen would hang at the Housers' home, people like Cream's brilliant Ginger Baker, who was a mean bastard even then, according to Houser. Dan would occasionally act in school plays, and Sam took up the bass, studying twice weekly for years under the tutelage of well-known player Phil Bates, who worked with Sarah Vaughan and Judy Collins. Sam laments that he didn't practice enough. "That expression, it's like a language," he says. "To have that outlet, to be able to socialize with other people like that, it's really an amazing, profound thing."
It wasn't such a great leap, then, for Sam to move from an appreciation of jazz to a love of hip-hop, a head-over-heels affection that would inform his future work at Rockstar Games. He worshipped what Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons pioneered as they built Def Jam into a legendary record label that melded the best of rock, metal and rap into records by LL Cool J, Beastie Boys and Run-DMC. He made his mother sew Def Jam patches onto his clothes, and when his father finally took him to Manhattan in 1988, Houser made a beeline for the Lower East Side's Orchard Street, a bastion of Air Jordans and leather puffer jackets. He loved England, but in New York it was as if he'd come home and home was an urban, hip-hop heaven.
Also on this trip, at a dinner with his father and BMG record executive Heinz Henn, Houser unabashedly told the old pro exactly how to make his record company better. "He's a lunatic," Henn confided to Walter. "But he has some good ideas."

Great article!
The Housers love hip-hop?! They are now my personal heroes lol
We need a Grand Theft Lego game. I've sent Rockstar Games an email mentioning this. But I'm sure it was never read by a real person. But I think it would be an awesome game.
Incredible story! Awesome interview! Housers are icons.
This guy is a god. Long live Rockstar Games. Great article!

Special to The Star
The Meridian Star
For the first time in 30 years, East Central Community College has a new director of bands.
Hunter Corhern has served as the Wall O' Sound leader since July. Corhern succeeds Thomas W. Carson, who retired from full-time teaching duties due to his battle with cancer.
Corhern, a former Starkville Academy band director who most recently served as a graduate teaching assistant at Missouri State University in Springfield, said he looks forward to continuing the success of one of the top band programs in the Mississippi Community and Junior College system.
"I am humbled that I get the opportunity to come in and work with the Wall O' Sound," said Corhern, a Starkville native.
"After accepting the position, I spoke with Mr. Carson about the history of the program and his experiences with it. I am truly following in the footsteps of a legend, not only at East Central but in the State of Mississippi."
Ironically, both Carson and Corhern were 27 when they accepted the position as East Central's director of bands.
"I am hoping that I'll be blessed enough to work with the Wall O' Sound for 30 years as Mr. Carson did," Corhern remarked.
Corhern, who was selected for the post at the April meeting of the College's Board of Trustees, said his top priority is to maintain and hopefully improve the quality of the highly-regarded band program.
"The Wall O' Sound has had a storied tradition of success," Corhern noted. "Our objective is to continue that success and see if we can add to it. Mr. (Ed) Girling (assistant director) and I have been hard at work this summer talking to students and planning the 2012 halftime show. It takes a lot of effort and coordination to put together a 180-piece band!"
Corhern said he plans to keep crowds "fired up" at football games by having a greater concentration on "stands tunes."
"Coming from Mississippi State for my bachelor's degree and Missouri State for my master's, I found that the best way to keep the crowd engaged is to play, cheer, and get everyone fired up!" he stated.
Corhern also discussed plans for this year's halftime show.
"Our marching show for the fall, 'And Let There Be Rock,' will feature several of our band members and sections, especially the Centralettes and percussion," he said. "I hope everyone will come out and support our Warriors this fall and cheer them on with the Wall O' Sound!"
Corhern and his family reside in the Decatur area, which is a "little bit of a change" from Springfield, Mo., as he stated:
"We just spent two years living in Springfield, with a population of 153,000; now we are living in around a population of about 1,500! However, we love being back in Mississippi!"
Corhern brings an impressive resume to his new position. He was awarded the Robert and Alice Scott Scholarship at Missouri State University in 2011, and was nominated for the College's 2012 Outstanding Teaching Graduate Assistant Award.
He was the inaugural recipient of the W. Hunter Corhern Award at Mississippi State University, presented annually to a current or former member of the Lambda Phi Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia who demonstrates leadership and dedication in serving the chapter. Corhern is a former chapter president, vice president and treasurer of the social fraternity, which is dedicated to the advancement of music in America.
Corhern was also selected for the Society of Scholars at MSU in 2007. The organization is an honor society for students who demonstrate the highest standard of academic excellence and a broad exposure to the arts, humanities and sciences.
Corhern's professional affiliations include membership in Kappa Delta Pi, an international honor society in the field of education, which he also served as vice president. He also holds membership in Phi Kappa Phi, a national honor society for students and teachers of music.
A graduate of Starkville Academy, Corhern continued his education at MSU, where he received a bachelor of music education degree with Instrumental Emphasis in 2007 and completed a master of music degree in Wind Band Conducting in May.
Corhern has served as the director of facilitators for the Mississippi Hugh O'Brien Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminar since 2009 and has been an active volunteer with the organization since 2002.
He was Starkville Academy's band director from 2008-10 and served as graduate teaching assistant at Missouri State University from 2010-12.
He is married to the former Leah Vincent of Brandon, who graduated from MSU with a bachelor of music degree in 2010. They have an infant son, Nicholas Corhern.

New oil inspectors to step up ND oversight
BISMARCK, N.D. - BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's oil regulatory agency is hiring new field inspectors and other personnel to provide more frequent checks of oil and waste disposal wells in western North Dakota's oil-producing region, its director said Thursday.
The Department of Mineral Resources now has 14 employees who inspect oil facilities. With 176 drilling rigs operating and about 5,500 producing wells, the inspectors are able to check oil wells and other wells that are used to dispose of salt water waste every six months.
Lynn Helms, the agency's director, said three well inspectors and a technician who will check how companies are measuring their oil production should be hired before July 1. In the two years following, another seven field inspectors will be hired, he said.
Analysts believe by June 2013, the state will have more than 200 drilling rigs and about 10,000 producing wells. The increased staff will allow inspection of producing oil wells every two months, and inspections of salt water disposal wells monthly, Helms said.
Salt water is a byproduct of oil exploration in western North Dakota, and is often disposed of by injecting it back into the ground. Well sites have berms built around them to contain spills.
"Even a small spill of salt water can do permanent damage to the soil in North Dakota, so we have to make sure the operators are maintaining their dikes, that their piping is in good condition," Helms said.
Western North Dakota's rising oil production has been accompanied by some accidents, including an oil well fire in McKenzie County and an oil tank explosion and fire in Burke County. Both mishaps happened last March.
In 2006, a break in a salt water disposal pipeline resulted in a spill of almost 1 million gallons of brine near Alexander, which contaminated a nearby creek, killing fish and forcing ranchers to move their cattle.
Gov. Jack Dalrymple said Friday he had ordered state agencies to review safety and health standards that apply to the oil industry.
"Our regulation must keep pace with the improvements in technology and the growth of the industry," he said.

Introduced in 1992, the Aprilia SR 50 scooter arrived at its fourteenth model year with its 2005 edition. By then the nameplate had graduated to best-selling status, due to its zippy acceleration, attractive styling, great fuel economy and reasonable pricing. Aprilia set the manufacturer's suggested retail price of the 2005 SR 50 at $2,999.
The 2005 Aprilia SR 50 is officially known as the 2005 Aprilia SR 50 Factory Ditech. It is powered by a two-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, which displaces at 49 cubic centimeters (thus the ""50"" designation). It has a reed intake valve configuration, bore and stroke of 1.58 x 1.55 inches (40 x 39.2 millimeters) and compression ratio of 12.5 to 1. The engine relies on Ficht™ technology for fueling it.
Each engine on the 2005 Aprilia SR 50 is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission, or CVT. A type of automatic transmission, the CVT improves fuel economy by shifting through an unlimited number of gear ratios. The 2005 Aprilia SR 50 is a great beneficiary of the CVT, achieving a fuel economy that can peak at 120 miles per gallon, with a peak fuel capacity of 1.9 gallons (7.2 liters). Also, with its powertrain, the scooter can reach up to around 56 miles per hour in top speed.
The 2005 Aprilia SR 50 has all-wheel disc brakes, a novelty then with scooters. With a 7.5-inch (190-mm) disc brake on each 13-inch aluminum wheel, the 2005 SR 50 has greater stopping power than scooters using all-wheel drum brakes or front disc and rear drum brakes. The suspension comprises a telescopic fork at the front and a rear shock with single-sided swing arm for ensuring a smooth ride.
Sporting a strong, solid steel frame, the 2005 Aprilia SR 50 is designed as a half-fairing scooter with front and rear fenders. The scooter has only one color scheme, which is black, and it is finished with a decal kit. It has a one-piece vinyl seat for the driver.
Standard digital instrumentation on the 2005 Aprilia SR 50 consists of a trip odometer and speedometer. For storage, the scooter provides under-seat and lockable compartments, a glove box, and a place to hang a helmet. Halogen lighting and rearview mirrors are included for increased visual perception when driving.
Each 2005 Aprilia SR 50 has a length of 69.8 inches (1,773.9 mm), width of 28.4 inches (720 mm), height of 47.3 inches (1,200 mm), and wheelbase of 50.8 inches (1,290.3 mm). The seat is set at a height of 32.2 inches (818 mm), and its dry weight is measured at 198 lb.s (90 kilograms).
The Aprilia SR 50 has long bucked the theory that two-stroke scooters or bikes do not sell well due to perceived lack of engine power or substantial performance. By upholding the traits that made the template popular, the 2005 model year entry is no different.

WARNER – It took two quarters of play for the Hulbert Riders' offense to come alive and when it did, it nearly rode off with a win over the Warner Eagles Friday night at Alumni Field.
But it was the bend but don't break Eagles' defense that proved resilient on the night, as the Eagles survived to take a 20-19 win over the visiting Riders.
"After we let one get away from us last week it feels good to come home and get this first win," said Eagles' coach Mike Burdge. "This will give these kids some confidence and get us working harder and hungry for another win."
Even though the Eagles won the war, it was the battle in the second half that they nearly lost. As the Raiders racked up 253 yards rushing in the second half, 277 for the game, the visitors nearly pulled the upset despite shooting themselves in the foot on the final drive of the night.
With Hulbert starting on its own seven-yard line, down 20-13 with 6:26 left in the game, Levi Carson popped a 60-yard run on a second and seven to its their comeback. Inching down to the nine-yard line, two consecutive penalties backed the Riders up to the Eagles' 25. A desperation pass fell incomplete but a roughing the passer penalty gave Hulbert new life.
Two plays later, Riders' quarterback Jonathan Hamby called his own number with a bootleg to the left sideline, found an opening and dove in for the score and close within 20-19 with 30 seconds remaining. The extra point would tie the game up but an illegal procedure penalty backed the extra-point attempt back five yards, and the attempt fell inches short of the tie.
It didn't take long for the Warner's offense to get going early when on its third series of the night, Bobby Ward rolled to his right, stepped and found Eric Wiggins for a 54-yard pass and catch to put the Eagles up 6-0 with 5:21 to go in the first quarter.
Two possessions later, it was Clint Kite that found the end zone, this time capping off a nine-play drive with 5:16 left in the second quarter and putting the Eagles in command 14-0.
And just when the Eagles looked in control, that's when Carson work up the Riders offense to open the second half of play.
Carson touched the ball five times for 63 yards to open the third quarter. His last touch was a 40-yard sprint up the heart of the Eagles' defense and pull the Riders within 14-7 with 9:29 in the third stanza.
After an interception by the Riders' Terry Cook at the Eagles' 20, it took just three plays until Justin Owens found the end zone and pull the score to 14-13 with 1:35 to go in the third quarter.
Jacob Crabtree came on the scene for the Eagles, giving the stalled offense a shot in the arm with his 24-yard run in the fourth quarter and a 20-13 lead with 11:53 left in the game.
"Clint (Kite) actually called that play to Jacob," said Burdge. "He saw the defense shift over in a particular set and thought the fullback would be open and Jacob broke free."
Crabtree carried the ball five times in the second half for 65 yards, nearly half of the Eagles total rushing output on the night.
Kite finished with 117 total yards, 80 of that receiving. The Riders' Carson finished the night with 169 yards rushing on 16 touches, all in the second half.

Blue Raiders complete 17th practice; eye Saturday scrimmage
Final open practice is FridayAugust 16, 2012 · @MTAthletics
STOCKSTILL ON THE TRUE FRESHMEN: Head Coach Rick Stockstill has been very pleased with his freshman class during preseason camp and he feels like three or four could contribute immediately. Running back Jordan Parker, LB T.T. Barber, WR Terry Pettis, and DT Darious Bennett have all caught his eye.
"Parker has picked up the offense fast, is a physical runner, good in protection, and does a nice job catching the ball. Barber has had the benefit of a lot of reps due to injuries and has made the most of his opportunity. He is very explosive, seems to always be around the football, and has made a lot of plays during camp.
"Pettis is a big target who continues to improve but he still needs to adjust to the speed of the game and Bennett is a guy up front who may have a shot."

THE BURNETTE BLOG: HALFWAY HOME by Chris Burnette
The offense found its rhythm early in camp and continues to impress each day at practice. The amount of knowledge retained between spring practice and the time the players reported to camp has been special. From day one receivers have been running solid routes and the quarterbacks, for the most part, have been putting the ball in the right place. Logan Kilgore continues to run with the first unit and at times has been unstoppable. Deep passes and accurate throws have been somewhat of a norm for him throughout camp. Offensive Coordinator Buster Faulkner is coaching the guys hard and making sure the guy who is on the field will be able to control the offense.
The competition for the backup job continues at the halfway point in camp. Jeff Murphy has been leading the second unit, but Cameron Deen, a 6'4", 210 pound gunslinger has made his presence known. Deen has a big time arm and if he can get his touch under control just a little more, will push even stronger to solidify his spot as the number two quarterback. The depth in the backfield at running back is about as deep as a football team will be. There are four backs that are all capable of seeing playing time this fall led by senior Benny Cunningham. Cunningham missed a large part of the 2011 season due to injury but has recovered nicely and should carry the load for the Blue Raiders this season. Drayton Calhoun, William Pratcher, and Jordan Parker have also looked good so far in camp with big runs coming from all three of them and picking up the blitz in pass protection has been key as well.
The offensive line is gaining an advantage on opponents with the addition of co-offensive line coaches Matt Moore and Glen Elarbee. Being able to have two sets of eyes on the offensive line makes these guys that much more knowledgeable and tougher. Throughout the scrimmage last Saturday night the line opened big holes for the backs and continued to give the quarterback plenty of time in the pocket. If this group continues to grow, big things will be happening this season on the offensive side of the ball.
DE DEARCO NOLAN (on the defenses new coaching realignment): "The first thing is better communication, second is being prepared, and third is toughness. We have to go out there hard-nosed every day. Even when we are fatigued, we still have to be tough enough to fight through it. We need to be physically and mentally tough in order to get off the field."
CB KENNETH GILSTRAP (on what's going on in practice): "We just got through with two-a-days, and everything is going well. We have our last scrimmage this weekend, and then our (Beanie Bowl), then we start preparing for McNeese State."
LB LEIGHTON GASQUE (on changes from last season): "From last year, there is a huge difference. We have developed better attitudes, leaders have stepped up like Craig Allen, Jimmy Staten, people that are ready to roll. And Jeff Murphy. He sacrifices himself every day just to try to come back from a really bad knee injury. And we have a lot of young people coming up that are going to help. Coach Nix has really been hard on the defense, but he has simplified our plays which really frees us up. Teaching us how to make plays on the ball, what to go for, bringing out the aggression in the players, and a lot of toughness. We are a lot more confident than we were last year."
NEXT PRACTICE: The Blue Raiders will practice on Friday at 3:30 PM in what will be the final open practice of preseason camp.

With flu rates rising in Minnesota, flu shots continue to given across the metro as area residents try to avoid catching the bug.
I'm considering myself lucky at this point – no flu so far. My goal? Just to get through the winter without the flu doing a full breach at our home.
On the Maple Grove and Plymouth-MN Patch Facebook pages, users shared comments about how the flu has, or has not, been impacting their households.
Heidi Engels Bjugstad - Got my flu shot, but still came down with the flu at the end of November. It was miserable.
Cory Peterson - Not getting a flu shot seems silly. Why take the risk?
Abby Jimenez - Family of five. Three of us got it. My six year old had a temp of 104.5. And she had a flu shot.
Danielle Joseph - I was diagnosed with Influenza A, and I received the flu shot in September!
Lisa Sholl Dahl - I perform flu testing as a part of my job. I can't stress the importance of informing yourself with accurate information about the flu vaccine & influenza. Don't rely on old wive's tales, Internet, FB, etc for your health information. Talk to your doctor, clinic or nurse line. Too many healthy people are succumbing to organ failure and an over reactive immune system.
Sara Subby - Our good friends 5th grader has been in ICU since this past weekend with the flu and pneumonia!
Molly Mickelson Weidinger - No flu here, and no flu shots....

The Big Lead has a post on how Urban Meyer has basically pissed on the unwritten, gentlemenly B1G rules on recruiting, saying the Meyer used "illegal" recruiting tactics. Apparently what Bielema thinks is "illegal" is going after a recruit who is already informally committed to another university. In this past signing period, Meyer got recruits who had previously given (non-binding) commitments to Michigan State, Penn State and, you guessed it, Wisconsin.
In light of the turmoil in Columbus, it is hardly even fair to a recruit for Meyer not to go after him. Kids need an opportunity to commit to a superior program that has its issues resolved, than to settle for some second-rate, Mickey Mouse program like Wisconsin. The recruits Meyer got from Wisconsin probably wouldn't have even considered cheese country if Meyer had already been in Columbus.
I like what Meyer had to say in response.
You're pissed because we went after a committed guy? Guess what, we got nine guys who better go do it again. Do it a little harder next time.
While we're at it, let's look at how gentlemanly Bielema has been ON the football field.
I would say that makes you douchebag of the week, there Bielema.

The Wahlberg brothers are suing their former Wahlburgers business manager Edward St. Croix for "improper conduct."
The suit, filed Oct. 25 in Suffolk County Superior Court, alleges that St. Croix, who lives in Hull and worked with the company until June, did an "abysmal" job, "failed to meet even the most basic duties as business manager," the Boston Globe reported.
According to the Globe, Walburgers is claiming St. Croix was "incompetent and unqualified" to handle issues related to bookkeeping, obtaining licenses and permits, and raising capital.
The article also stated he obtained investments in a "haphazard fashion" and diverted some of the money to another restaurant he was hoping to open.
In June, Wahlburgers appointed Hingham resident Rick Vanzura as their new CEO.

Philosophy Department
Graduate Programs
Program Overview
The University of Rochester offers programs leading to PhD and MA degrees in philosophy. The course of study includes epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of science, history of philosophy, logic, ethics, social and political philosophy, and philosophy of religion. Oriental philosophy, phenomenology, deconstructionism and existentialism are not offered in the department.
The MA program consists of approximately one year of graduate courses, followed by an exam or a thesis.
The PhD program is scheduled to take five years. It consists of three phases: foundations, advanced courses and focused research, and the dissertation.
There are approximately 20 graduate students in residence. Graduate seminars are small. Individual tutorials are frequently arranged. The size and nature of the program facilitate close interaction among faculty and students.
The philosophy department maintains an active colloquium series with frequent visiting lecturers and presentations by Rochester faculty and students.
Philosophy students with interdisciplinary interests in psychology, computer science, economics, and decision theory will find opportunity and encouragement to develop those interests during their graduate studies at the University.
Cognitive Science
Work toward the PhD in cognitive science is offered in the departments of philosophy, psychology, computer science and linguistics. A typical student admitted to the philosophy PhD program who also receives a cognitive science degree does approximately a third the work toward the PhD outside of the philosophy department.

Galveston County judge accused of profanity, abuse
GALVESTON - A Galveston County district judge screamed at a pregnant woman appearing in his court on a drug charge, swearing and telling her she was worthless before tearing up papers, throwing them in the air and stalking from the courtroom, according to the woman's attorney.
"It was horrible," Houston attorneyWesley Clements said about the alleged behavior of District Judge Lonnie Cox. "When he started yelling like that at the top of his lungs, it got my attention."
The allegations are in a motion filed by Clements asking that Cox remove himself from a plea hearing in the probation violation case of Maricelda Marie Aguilar, 22, of Alvin.
Clements said he was in the process of filing a complaint with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct about Cox's conduct during the Oct. 5 hearing.
Cox said he was unable to comment about an ongoing case. He filed an order refusing to recuse himself and referring the recusal decision to the presiding judge for the 2nd Administrative Judicial Region, Montgomery County District Judge Olen Underwood.
Aguilar, now seven months pregnant, has been in the Galveston County Jail since July for violating her probation on an earlier drug conviction. She learned shortly before her arrest that she was pregnant and while in jail has developed a bacterial infection she fears could harm the fetus, she said in a written statement attached the recusal motion. Clements said she also has a condition that cannot be fully diagnosed until after Aguilar gives birth.
The Galveston County drug court had obtained Cox's agreement to move Aguilar from the Montgomery County Jail to a drug rehabilitation center until she gave birth, allowing her mother to accompany her for medical treatment when necessary, Clements said.
Probation Department Director Janis Bane said the District Attorney's Office approved the agreement. "It sounded like a good option and a good use of our resources," Bane said. Nevertheless, the department will respect the judge's decision, she said.
At the hearing, Cox became agitated when he discovered that Aguilar had missed several meetings with her probation officer, according to the recusal motion. "The judge while sitting on the bench in open court looked at the plea papers and then screamed, 'This is s---. This kind of b------- is not what the drug court should be doing and it is just costing the taxpayers money,'" the motion states.
The judge told Aguilar she was worthless and asked "if she thought he would turn her loose to kill the child," the motion states. "He told the defendant she was worthless and then told the defendant she was not worth the paper and ink that the plea agreement was written on and proceeded to rip the papers to shreds and throw the papers in the air.
"Then he stormed out of the courtroom."

Review of the 2013 Ram 2500
The 2013 Ram 2500 is a top pick for a heavy-duty truck thanks to its top-notch interior, comfortable ride quality and impressive towing and hauling capabilities.
- Safety | Reliability
High-quality cabin; massive torque with diesel/automatic powertrain; roomy rear-seat room (Mega Cab); quiet highway ride.
Diesel's output is less with manual transmission.
What's New for 2013
For 2013, the Ram 2500 is redesigned. It may not look it, as most of the changes are under the skin, such as a stronger frame, a more powerful turbodiesel engine and a revised suspension. Others, such as LED turn signals, a slightly refreshed cabin, a new touchscreen and a configurable display within the instrument panel, are more readily apparent.Read full review of the 2013 Ram 2500

The Valdosta Daily Times
The Valdosta State softball team earned two Gulf South Conference wins on Saturday, sweeping a doubleheader against Delta State at Steel's Diamond at Blazer Park.
The defending national champion Blazers improved to 32-8, and 17-6 in conference play.
The Blazers scored seven runs in the bottom of the fifth, and won the first game 7-1. Then they broke a 3-3 tie with a solo home run in the fifth and three runs in the sixth, and held off a seventh inning rally by the Lady Statesmen to win the second game 7-5.
"We played good. We'll take (two conference wins)," Valdosta State head coach Thomas Macera said.
Game 1: Valdosta State 7, Delta State 1
Valdosta State scored seven runs in the bottom of the fifth, and beat Delta State 7-1 in the first game.
For the first four innings, it was a scoreless pitcher's duel between Valdosta State's Hanna Lythberg and Delta State's Miller Maddox.
Delta briefly took the lead with an unearned run in the top of the fifth. But the Blazers responded in a big way when they came to bat in the bottom half of the inning.
Leading off the bottom of the fifth, Hannah Strickland singled back through the box. April Collins laid down a bunt, and Maddox tried to throw Strickland out at second. But her throw pulled the second baseman off the bag, and Strickland was safe. Strickland was forced out at third on Courtney Albritton's ground ball, then Morgan Johnson walked to load the bases. Shelby Altman singled to center, and Collins scored the Blazers' first run of the game, tying the score. Ashley Steinhilber hit a line drive at Delta State shortstop Amber Adcock, but Adcock misplayed it, and Albritton ran home to score, giving the Blazers a 2-1 lead.
Delta State coach Casey Bourgoyne-Charles went her bullpen and replaced Maddox with Lauren Kendall. Kendall got Sarah Vaughn to fly out to center, but Johnson tagged up and scored. Kiley Rusen lined a single to center, and Altman slid into home to give the Blazers a 4-1 lead. Then Fran Johnson hit a long fly ball to left field. The ball went over the left fielder's head and hit the La Quinta sign. Steinhilber and Rusen were running on contact, and both of them scored on the double. Then Strickland, batting for the second time in the inning, doubled into the gap in right center, bringing home Fran Johnson with the Blazers' seventh run of the inning and making the score 7-1.
After the big inning, Lythberg (12-3) went to the circle and retired six of the last seven batters to close out the win. She pitched a complete game, and held Delta to one unearned run and four hits, while striking out five.
Early on, Lythberg and Maddox traded zeroes on the scoreboard. The Blazers had a runner on third with less than two outs in both the third and fourth innings, but couldn't score in either inning.
Delta finally broke the tie with an unearned run in the top of the fifth. Mariah Alvarez reached on an error to start the inning. Emily Todd bunted Alvarez to second, then Memrie Corley reached on an infield single, putting runners on the corners with one out. Then Corley took off for second on a steal attempt, trying to start a double steal. Altman, VSU's shortstop, caught Steinhilber's throw, then without attempting a tag, she fired it right back to the Blazer catcher. But her throw was off the mark, and Alvarez scored, giving the Lady Statesmen a 1-0 lead.
But Delta's lead wouldn't last long.
Strickland went 2 for 3 with an RBI, and was the only VSU player to get more than one hit. Holland had two hits for Delta.
Game 2: Valdosta State 7, Delta State 5
The Blazers continued to pound the ball in game 2, collecting 11 hits and scoring seven more runs.
Altman had a monster game at the plate, hitting two home runs and driving in five runs. She went 3 for 4.
"She's a great player," Macera said. "She's just a really good kid, she works hard and she can play."
Delta State grabbed the early lead, scoring two runs in the top of the first. Taylor Holland drove in Kaitlin Moore with a double to left, then scored on an error to give her team a 2-0 lead.
But the Blazers answered with two runs in the bottom half of the inning. Albritton singled and Morgan Johnson doubled, putting runners on second and third with no outs. Altman singled through the left side, scoring Albritton. Steinhilber followed with a sacrifice fly to left, and Johnson ran home to tie the score.
Delta regained the lead in the top of the third. With two outs, Holland beat out an infield single, then back-to-back singles to left by Alvarez and Taylor Hughes loaded the bases. Then Caroline Womack walked to force in a run, putting the Lady Statesmen ahead 3-2.
But in the bottom half of the inning, Altman jumped on a pitch and drove it over the Talk 92.1 FM sign in left center for a solo homer, making it 3-3.
Then Steinhilber stepped up to the plate to lead off the bottom of the fifth, and hit a towering fly ball down the left field line. The ball cleared the fence just inside the foul pole for a home run. The fans got a coupon for food from Zacadoo's — it was the Zac's Jack inning — and the Blazers got their first lead of the game, 4-3.
The Blazers added three insurance runs in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, Albritton singled and Morgan Johnson doubled. Then Altman unloaded on a pitch, and hit a long fly ball to left field. The ball cleared the left field fence and the fence behind it, and landed in a bush next to Ashley Cinemas. Altman's three-run homer extended Valdosta State's lead to 7-3.
Delta State tried to rally in the seventh. Two singles and an error loaded the bases with one out. At that point, Macera brought Lythberg out of the bullpen to replace starter Brianna Hancock. Alvarez singled up the middle, scoring Kayla Wilson. Then Moore scored on a fielder's choice, cutting VSU's lead to 7-5.
"They always battle hard. They always play us hard," Macera said.
But Lythberg got the next hitter to hit a ground ball back to her, and she threw the ball to Rusen at first for the final out.
Albritton and Morgan Johnson both had two hits and scored two runs. Tiffany Adkison also had two hits. Steinhilber drove in two runs.
Hancock (13-4) allowed five runs, three earned, and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings. Lythberg picked up her second save.
In between games on Saturday, Valdosta State's four seniors — Morgan Johnson, Steinhilber, Vaughn and Adkison — were honored.
"It's a great senior class," Macera said. "They're taking a lot away from here. They've won a lot of championships. They've taken away a (national championship) ring. They're great players. I'm sad to see them go."
Valdosta State will play its final regular season games today, when it hosts Christian Brothers at 1 p.m. at Steel's Diamond.

Aquapel by Nano-Tex
Aquapel by Nano-Tex is the next generation in fabric protection. Aquapel™ is an invisible water-repellent finish that permanently attaches to the fibers in the fabric (actually becomes a part of the fabric), as opposed to simply coating the surface. Water will bead up and roll off. Each Aquapel™ fabric has its own unique recipe, especially formulated for the construction and weave of that specific fabric. No cookie cutter approach here!
