The snow plows have begun the snow removal process on city streets in Colorado Springs and greater El Paso County.
According to the city website, plows are tackling the primary routes first, which are major roads with high volume of traffic or hospital routes. Secondary routes, which include collector streets and streets with school access, will be plowed after primary routes are completed.
The city says that primary routes can take up to six hours to clear in large events. Snow crews began working at 4:30 a.m. Sunday.
The Streets Division will not respond to residential streets unless six inches have accumulated, and primary and secondary roads have been cleared.
In El Paso County, 33 plow trucks have been dispatched since 5:30 a.m. The plows are applying anti-skid as needed on priority 1 and 2 roads, as well as at intersections. Motor graders may be called in for gravel roads later Sunday if conditions require it.
A spokesman for the county says there has been snow accumulation primarily in the northern and eastern sides.

A group of pirates get tickets to watch The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie from a treasure chest. The pirates then sing the "SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song," enter a movie theater, raid it, and sit down to watch the movie.
The movie properly begins with an emergency situation at the Krusty Krab, complete with police helicopters and news reporters. Suddenly, SpongeBob SquarePants, "the manager," arrives in a sleek sports car. Mr. Krabs says that it started with a simple order, a Krabby Patty with cheese. "When the customer took a bite, no cheese!" Mr. Krabs starts crying, leading SpongeBob to slap him. He enters the Krusty Krab and meets a guy named Phil. SpongeBob then opens his suitcase, takes out a pair of tweezers, and puts cheese on the Krabby Patty. The day is saved, and the crowd starts cheering for SpongeBob. Their cheers soon degenerate to the sound of SpongeBob's alarm clock, and he wakes up, revealing the opening scene to be a dream.
SpongeBob is extremely excited, as today is the grand opening of "The Krusty Krab 2," and he's going to be the new manager and prepares himself for the day. Patrick Star's rock lifts up, and Patrick congratulates SpongeBob says that to celebrate, they're going to go to "Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat." SpongeBob and Patrick sing the Goofy Goober theme song, and afterwards, SpongeBob goes off to the Krusty Krab. Plankton envies Mr. Krabs, and states he tried every plan in his cabinet from "A to Y". There are actually 26 letters of the alphabet, and Plankton doesn't notice it at first, but Karen, his computer wife, tells him. Plankton finds "Plan Z" in the back of the drawer. He thinks it's his best plan yet. He goes outside, only to be stepped on by SpongeBob. He pulls Plankton off his shoe, and asks him if he's going to the 'grand opening ceremony.' Plankton replies, "No, I am not going to the 'grand opening ceremony'! I'm busy planning to rule the world! Ha, ha, ha!" SpongeBob doesn't understand this, wishes Plankton luck, then runs off again, leaving Plankton to walk away saying, "Stupid kid." Meanwhile, Mr. Krabs is preparing the grand opening ceremony of the Krusty Krab 2, which is an exact replica of the original and is located directly next-door to it, the only difference being a giant glowing "2" sign. SpongeBob rushes up to the stage to accept his promotion, but Mr. Krabs announces that Squidward is the new manager instead, much to SpongeBob's shock. Mr. Krabs tells a heartbroken SpongeBob that he is too immature and childlike to handle the task, and SpongeBob sulks away, saying "I'm ready ... depression." Patrick suddenly flies by, naked, with a SpongeBob banner in his butt, and crashes into the set, causing a fire.
Later, Plankton flies towards King Neptune's castle, as part of "Plan Z". Inside, Neptune is attempting to punish his royal crown polisher for touching his crown, but is stopped by his intelligent daughter, Mindy. The brutish and tyrannical king tries to explain to his daughter that he must enforce his power as king in order to be respected, and that she will have to do the same when she is Queen. He begins to explain the importance of his crown, and as he talks, Plankton arrives and steals it. Neptune, who is bald, is horrified to discover that his crown is missing, Plankton having stolen it.
Meanwhile, SpongeBob is at Goofy Goober (which is a spoof on Rolie Polie Olie) Ice Cream Party Boat brooding over his loss. Patrick arrives thinking SpongeBob is the manager, but he was told the truth about being a kid SpongeBob starts to leave, but then Patrick gets a Triple Gooberberry Sunrise, and SpongeBob comes back. They begin to eat dozens of Surprises burying the waiter in ice cream continuously saying "waiter". The two become "drunk" from all the ice cream, and SpongeBob falls asleep in the restaurant, experiencing hangover-like symptoms the morning afterwards.
Meanwhile, Neptune arrives at the Krusty Krab after receiving evidence planted by Plankton of Mr. Krabs stealing his crown, which is a note, saying, "I stole your crown. Signed, Eugene Krabs". Krabs denies stealing the crown, but a message then plays on the phone of a man thanking Mr. Krabs for giving him the crown and saying that he sold it to Shell City. This call is actually from Plankton. Neptune gets REALLY angry and plans to burn Mr. Krabs to a crisp. But before doing that, Neptune asks if anyone has anything to say to defend Mr. Krabs, and a "drunken" SpongeBob arrives and bad-mouths Mr. Krabs for not giving him the manager job, saying, "I've worked for Mr. Krabs for many years, and always thought he was a great boss. I now realize that he's a GREAT BIG JERK!! I DESERVED THAT MANAGER JOB, but you didn't give it to me because you said I'm a KID! WELL, I AM 100 PERCENT MAN, AND THIS MAN HAS GOT SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU! [blows a LONG raspberry] There! I think I made my point!" Neptune burns Mr. Krabs, but Mr. Krabs plunges into a barrel filled with water. Upon realizing the severity of the situation, SpongeBob returns to his normal self and stops Neptune from killing him. Mindy convinces her father to give SpongeBob a chance to prove Mr. Krabs' innocence, and he and Patrick agree to travel to the dreaded Shell City, and return with the crown. Before departing, Mr. Krabs is frozen solid and Mindy, who Patrick develops a crush on, gives the duo a magical bag of winds to return home with and warned about the trip.
With six days to retrieve the crown (there were originally ten until King Neptune and Patrick argued it down to six), SpongeBob and Patrick take the "Patty Wagon," a car shaped like a Krabby Patty. They soon reach a gas station located on the county line, where the hillbilly owners laugh at them, finding the duo and their vehicle stupid. They tell SpongeBob and Patrick that they wouldn't last for ten seconds over the county line. When SpongeBob and Patrick cross the line, their car is immediately stolen by a thug. SpongeBob and Patrick then realize that they lasted for twelve seconds, and begin laughing at the hillbillies, who are dumbfounded by their idiocy, as they continue on foot. Later, they find their car parked at the "Thug Tug," a bar for tough, muscular fish. SpongeBob has Patrick distract the thugs so he can get the key. (Unfortunately, Patrick just said: "I have to go to the bathroom," making SpongeBob unsuccessful, and getting his hands dirty in the process.) SpongeBob heads for the bathroom to wash his hands, and when he uses the soap dispenser, it produces bubbles. SpongeBob and Patrick begin having a "Bubble Party," but one bubble floats over to the leader of the "Thug Tug," who reminds the other bar patrons of the policy that all "Bubble Blowing Babies" will be severely beaten. The leader goes on a "Bubble Blowing Baby Hunt" by turning on the Goofy Goober Theme song, where the first person to start singing is determined to be the culprit. SpongeBob and Patrick struggle not to start singing, then the owner starts singing it to SpongeBob and Patrick, causing SpongeBob's eyes to water and Patrick to start melting, and they are only saved when Siamese Twins burst out in song. The other thugs begin beating them, allowing SpongeBob and Patrick to steal the key amid the confusion and depart.
By the following day, Plankton, with Mr. Krabs incapacitated, obtains the Krabby Patty secret formula and begins serving Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket. He stole the formula by sneaking by Mr. Krabs while he was frozen, went into his office, entered the safe code and stole the formula. Plankton starts selling Krabby Patties at the Chum Bucket, along with free bucket helmets. He has also learned about SpongeBob and Patrick are trying to get the crown back and hires a professional hitman named Dennis to ensure that SpongeBob and Patrick do not reach Shell City. The next day, Squidward sees that everyone is wearing helmet buckets and after a woman tells him that Plankton is giving them away for free with the Krabby Patties, he goes to confront Plankton, telling him that Plankton was the one who stole King Neptune's the crown to get the Krabby Patties formula and decides to report him to King Neptune, but before he leaves the Chum Bucket, Plankton activates a mind-control device, revealing that the bucket helmets are actually mind controlling helmets. Squidward tries to escape, but the enslaved citizens corner and capture him, taking down the last opposition to Plankton in Bikini Bottom and transforms the city into "Planktopolis". SpongeBob and Patrick are traveling through a field of skulls, laughing over their victory at the Thug Tug. They see an Ice Cream Stand, but when SpongeBob goes to order, the old lady running the stand is revealed to be the tongue of a monstrous Frogfish using the Ice Cream Stand as bait. SpongeBob and Patrick are chased by a large sea monster, eventually driving off a cliff and getting out of the car just in time. The Frogfish is lured off the edge, and subsequently is eaten by an even larger beast that is a gigantic sea serpent that appears from the trench. Unable to pass through a monster-filled trench, SpongeBob decides to give up and accepts the fact that he and Patrick are just children. However, Mindy arrives and shows them what has happened to Bikini Bottom while they were gone, and gives them fake mustaches in the form of seaweed, convincing them that they are now men. SpongeBob and Patrick pass through the trench without fear (singing "Now That We're Men"), but meet up with Dennis on the other side. He rips off their fake mustaches and explains to them that they are not really men, and prepares to kill them by crushing them under his boot. However, before he can do so, Dennis himself is crushed by a gigantic boot, belonging to a monstrous scuba diver known as "The Cyclops," who abducts SpongeBob and Patrick to the surface.
SpongeBob and Patrick wake up in a goldfish bowl filled with freshwater and sedimentary pebbles. They see the Cyclops making "knick-knacks" from dead sea creatures, much to their horror, and are soon taken out of the bowl and put on a table under a heat lamp, and start to dry up. Soon, SpongeBob laments that they have failed, and that Bikini Bottom will remain under Plankton's mind control, Mr. Krabs will be executed, and they too will die. Patrick points out a sign reading "Shell City: Marine Gifts and Sundries". SpongeBob realizes that they are in Shell City, which is in fact a gift shop. They see the crown, and SpongeBob then realizes that they did at least make it to Shell City, and did pretty well for "a couple of goofballs." They both shed a tear and begin singing the Goofy Goober song, just as they shrivel up. "Goofy, Goofy, Goober, G--", they stop, then die. Back in the movie theater, all the pirates mourn the loss of SpongeBob and Patrick, but a talking parrot points out that the movie isn't over yet and they continue watching it. The "Tear of the Goofy Goober" slides down a wire into the power outlet, causing it to short-circuit and let out smoke, which rises up and activates the sprinkler system, causing all the sea creatures to reanimate. As the sea creatures (which include a mariachi band playing a song from Mexico) beat up "The Cyclops," SpongeBob and Patrick grab the crown and carry it out to the beach. There, SpongeBob reads the manual of the Bag of Winds, and Patrick accidentally releases it, leaving them stranded on the beach. However, David Hasselhoff arrives and carries them across the ocean on his back.
On the way back home, the big boot belonging to the same diver that kidnapped them, rises up sea, and an angry Dennis emerges from below it, intent on finishing the job Plankton gave him and goes after Patrick and SpongeBob with his dagger in hand (much to Hasselhoff's discomfort). He corners SpongeBob, who attempts to reason with Dennis (by bribing him with five Goober dollars); Dennis is uninterested, so SpongeBob proceeded to more offers - including a bubble-blower that sends a stream of bubbles to Dennis's eyes, blinding him and making him even angrier. But just as he is about to stomp on them with his boot, he ends up getting knocked into the ocean by a floating sailboat. As the duo arrive over Bikini Bottom, King Neptune is about to execute Mr. Krabs, but is being stalled by Mindy. Hasselhoff opens his pectoral muscles and prepares countdown and shoots the duo down into Bikini Bottom at fast speed, where they crash through the roof of the Krusty Krab, the crown deflecting the trident blast that nearly kills Mr. Krabs, and ends up burning Hasselhoff. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop Plankton, as he dumps a King-sized Chum Bucket Helmet on Neptune, also putting him under his control. As Plankton's minions surround the heroes, SpongeBob realized that Plankton didn't care whether Krabs should be fried or not he just wanted the power of the seas under his control, having used the theft of the crown to lure Neptune into the trap, thus he cheated. Plankton doubts to him to cheating, and he states to him that he is an evil genius and SpongeBob is just a kid---a stupid kid. SpongeBob makes a speech about being who you are, before transforming in a wizard and breaking out into a bizarre rock version of the Goofy Goober theme song (based on the Twisted Sister's I Wanna Rock) using his electric guitar's laser beams to destroy all the brain-control buckets with.
Plankton is trampled before he can escape, and the cops put him in a little cage and take him away. Neptune reaches an understanding not only with Mr. Krabs, but also with his daughter, and thanks SpongeBob and Patrick. He then turns to leave, but Mindy reminds him about Mr. Krabs. He unfreezes Mr. Krabs, turning him into a fat little boy. Neptune then reveals that he had his trident set to "Real Boy Ending". He then turns Mr. Krabs into a crab again. Squidward suggests to SpongeBob that he has learned that he doesn't really need to be the manager of the Krusty Krab 2, but SpongeBob eagerly takes the position anyway. Images shown throughout the end credits shown the sole two differences between the job of manager and fry-cook is that there is a giant hat with the word manager imprinted on it and an extra cent in his paycheck. Nonetheless, SpongeBob takes on the role of manager of the Krusty Krab 2 with great pride, as the film signifies the conclusion of the franchise's story.
Back in the theater, the usher tells the pirates to leave the theater so she can clean up the mess they left.

As of , The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) gives this episode a rating of 6.8/10 based on 255 ratings by users.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0345950/?ref_=sr_6 TV.com users give this episode a 8.6/10 based on 23 votes.http://www.tv.com/movies/the-spongebob-squarepants-movie/ Despite the huge success of this film, the failure of Rugrats Go Wild! and the Hey Arnold! The Movie was prevented anymore Nicktoons films from being made.
It is on the Home Sweet Pineapple and SpongeBob SquarePants Movie DVDs
- There are more bubbles than a SpongeBob episode. For instance, when ever the characters move or pull something bubbles appear.
- After the movie was made, Nickelodeon released a special issue of Nickelodeon Magazine about this film. It included interviews with the cast Tom Kenny, Scarlett Johansson, Mr. Lawrence, Jeffery Tambor, Alec Baldwin, Bill Fagerbakke, Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass, and David Hasselhoff, an article about SpongeBob's origin, Patrick recounting his journey to Shell City, and a comic about Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy trying to stop Plankton during the events of the movie.
- Ironically, SpongeBob, Patrick, and the sea creatures breathe air in the movie. In the episode "Pressure", SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward went on dry land and were changed to real life props for the show. But in Sandy's treedome, they need water helmets. They took off their helmets in her treedome in "Survival of the Idiots " because the snow was made of water. However, when spring arrives, they are seen without the helmets and trying to escape because they ripped her fur off with tape to keep themselves warm.
- SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Plankton are the only characters from the show to have large roles in this movie. The other characters have cameos.
- Hasselhoff may be a human cyborg in this movie, because he swam to the island above Bikini Bottom without moving his arms and legs (he's only seen moving his arms and legs when he's leaving the shoreline of the beach), and his pecks moved for him to place SpongeBob, Patrick, and the crown in the middle to launch them back to Bikini Bottom as a fast way of getting down there on time.
- In the book Ice Cream Dreams, it says the grand opening for the Krusty Krab 2 is March 3. But in the movie, the grand opening is March 7.
- While Seasons 1, 2 and 3 were highly praised, the film only received slightly positive reception.
- The teaser trailer for the movie aired during the 2004 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.
- In the final fight, SpongeBob isn't seen destroying the control aerial on the Chum Bucket controlling the citizens and is only seen destroying the bucket helmets but when Plankton goes to jail and every one is celebrating (even King Neptune) it would have been possible that the control aerial had been destroyed by SpongeBob's guitar.
- The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie website now redirects to http://spongebob.nick.com/.
- In this movie, SpongeBob's voice is changed to a higher pitch for unknown reason but it might be how old Tom Kenny is getting or the creators wanted his voice to be higher.
- When Mr. Krabs presents Squidward to be manager, he calls Squidward "loyal" and "hardworking" even though in lots of episodes he disrespects Mr. Krabs and the customers. He is also not hardworking because he sleeps a lot on the job and often plans ways to stay home on work days. SpongeBob is a lot more loyal and hardworking than Squidward and in fact deserved the spot more.
- Stephen Hillenburg confirmed that the movie takes place after the TV series. This actually makes sense, because in all of the episodes after the movie, SpongeBob wasn't the manager, Plankton was still at the Chum Bucket and there was only one Krusty Krab.
- The song "The Best Day Ever", heard during the end credits and added to the movie's soundtrack, would later be used in the episode "Best Day Ever".
- A scene where SpongeBob and Patrick, after escaping from Shell City, encounter Sandy on the surface, who here has the appearance of a real-life squirrel, was planned for the film but was cut for time. The animatic for the scene is included as a deleted scene on the DVD. This was removed due to Patrick barfing a lot.
- The scene where SpongeBob and Patrick have their mouths wide open became popular on YouTube and a popular online meme.
- In other countries such as the Philippines, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie is rated G. That is because their rating systems think that toilet humor can be suitable for all.
- The season one episode "Neptune's Spatula", features a completely different King Neptune. This version of Neptune also appeared, in "SpongeBob vs. the Patty Gadget" and "The Clash of Triton". Although in "Krusty Towers", Squidward mentions King Neptune XIV, possibly meaning that there are multiple King Neptune's which could explain this inconsistency. Or seeings how the movie takes place after the TV show, it is also possible that King Neptune went bald and otherwise changed appearance between the show and movie.
- When King Neptune is fed up with being stalled from the execution, he tells Mindy to go wait outside, then places a lock on the door. After SpongeBob and Patrick arrive, the lock disappears.
- In a deleted scene, during SpongeBob's awakening in "Goofy Goober's Ice Cream Party Boat", he asks for a "double fudge spiny". This rejected line was used in a storybook based on the movie released during the time, called Ice Cream Dreams.
- This movie marks the only appearance of Dennis.
- The movie was dedicated in memory of Jules Engel (1909–2003).
- The trailer uses footage from submarine films, Das Boot (1981), The Hunt for Red October (1990), and U-571 (2000).
- Elmer's Glue (a real-life glue item) makes a cameo in this movie when the Cyclops was making a shell and when a lobster was shooting it to him at the Shell City Gift Shop.
- This is the second time Mrs. Puff and Sandy interact (even though this isn't an episode). The first was Party Pooper Pants.
- This is the only time that Plankton succeeds in stealing the formula.
- Perch Perkins is seen in purple instead of blond.
- SpongeBob says that Patrick was wearing the same 'Goofy Goober' underwear for 3 years straight but at the start of the movie when Patrick was seen he didn't have any underwear.
- When Mr. Krabs was being interviewed his pants are purple and didn't change to blue until the end of the movie.
- This is the fourth time SpongeBob loses his arm(s). The first time was "I was a Teenage Gary", The second time was "Big Pink Loser", The third time was "Graveyard Shift", The fifth and sixth time was "Sing a Song of Patrick" and the Seventh time was "SpongeHenge".
- This movie is a movie inside a movie, because the Pirates are watching the SpongeBob movie in an actual theater.
- The song, Ocean Man by Ween was played in the end credits during this movie.
- The Paramount Pictures logo appeared after the scene where the pirates have to leave the theater because the movie is over. After the logo ends, the MPAA PG screen is shown.
- The Goofy Goober underwear that Patrick wears, appear again in Born to Be Wild.
- During the credits, SpongeBob's Krusty Krab hat appears to be bigger than normal.
- In the movie Plankton is more evil and depraved than he was in the series. While in series he was comical and in post movie episodes became less evil (while Mr. Krabs has gotten more greedy and evil), but in the movie he stole King Neptune's crown, frames Mr. Krabs for it, enslaves Bikini Bottom, shows excitement and joy when Mr. Krabs is going to be executed and sends Dennis to kill SpongeBob and Patrick rather than merely get rid of them.
- A sequel to this movie has been announced on February 28, 2012 and it will be released in 2015.
- In this movie, both Patrick and SpongeBob are deemed "kids". However, it has been confirmed that they both actually are adults, despite their childish behavior. This could be that due to the fact that they have such a child-like behavior that everybody thinks they are kids.
- Both SpongeBob and Patrick think they're really a man which they think the mustache was the sign being a man and they were fooled by Princess Mindy also both of them are already adults (man).
- SpongeBob tells Squidward that his fly is down even though Squidward doesn't wear pants.
- When Patrick and King Neptune argue about how many days they should get for their journey, it is a lot like Patrick and the Flying Dutchman arguing about how many wishes SpongeBob and Patrick should get in "Shanghaied."
- The Movie is mentioned in the movie Piranha 3DD by David Hasselhoff.
- This isn't in high definition when it is shown on Nickelodeon for unknown reasons, despite it being HD on other channels.
- After SpongeBob hops from David's right leg to his left Dennis says: "You got guts kid!" This could a reference to an old Nickelodeon game show called: "Nickelodeon Guts".[citation needed]
- The movie foreshadows about goofy goobers, when it shows a toy of The Goofy Goober Peanut.
- This movie has a unique animation style (for everyone) and color scheme (for the fish). It was never used again in the series. However, it may be used again in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2.
- SpongeBob is seen driving the Krabby Patty Mobile well. It can be implied that his skills as a driver improve by 2031.
Cultural References
- The movie contains references to the Greek epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer, specifically the Bag Of Winds and "The Cyclops" (undersea diver).
- The song "Goofy Goober Rock" is a parody of the song "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister.
- When SpongeBob and Patrick were in the Nut Bar there was a picture of Popeye, along with some panels from his comic, and what appears to be a panel from Muttz.
- When Cyclops is making a knick-knack out of a clam, he names it "Alexader Clam Bell" which is a parody of Alexander Graham Bell with a telephone replica attached. Alexander Graham Bell was the inventor of the telephone.
- The Calendar said "March", but since SpongeBob had 374 consecutive employee of the month awards this mean it would be July if they started in May (his first month) or August if they started in June (his second month).
- Mr. Krabs says near the end of the Movie "I'm going to do something that I should have done six days ago". he means seven because it was the day after when SpongeBob got the six day challenge to get the crown.
- When King Neptune first sets Mr. Krabs on fire, the clothes on Mr. Krabs completely burns away. However, as soon Mr. Krabs jumps in a bucket of water to put the fire out, his clothes suddenly reappear.
- When Patrick and SpongeBob are at Gooby Goober's, Patrick never orders a meal, but he is given one.
- It's possible that he pre-ordered it on the phone or came around earlier and told them.
- SpongeBob had his shoes on while he put his pants on, but in the scene before that, he was only wearing his socks.
- The size of the crown changes through the movie. When Plankton is carrying it, he is as big as the tip. When SpongeBob attempts to lift it, it looks gigantic compared to him.
- When Close-up of the Krabby Patty car pickle wheels, it's bumpy, however the next scene its regular instead pickle like wheels.
- When SpongeBob smears Plankton on the ground, Plankton's smear appears, but after SpongeBob picks up Plankton, the green smear disappears.
- When Mindy talks to King Neptune, she has her golden band, however the next scene her golden band disappears.

- On February 28, 2012, Paramount Pictures announced a sequel to The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. It is currently in production under the name The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2. The release is slated for late 2014, ten years after the first movie's release.
- This movie will be the first non-Rugrats movie to have a second movie.
- The upcoming 2015 sequel is said to be a reboot of the Nicktoons film franchise, with more film adaptations based on Nicktoons such as Legend Of Korra, Fairly OddParents, and Dora the Explorer in development.
- After the movie came out, and the SpongeBob crew carried on with the TV show, viewings went extremely downhill. This is mostly because the SpongeBob crew, as most fans put it, "ran out of ideas after they released the big SpongeBob movie in 2004".

Greg Ostendorf
This is the first in an eight-part series looking at Alabama's 2012 recruiting class as National Signing Day approaches.
Analysis: Collins was a huge pickup for the University of Alabama. Not only is he a five-star safety ranked in the top 20 nationally for 2012, but he's also from Geismar, La., 30 minutes from LSU's campus. The Tigers continue to recruit the Louisiana native, but he has said that he remains firm to Alabama and expects to sign with the Crimson Tide on signing day. Collins reminds people of former UA standout Mark Barron. He's only 6-feet tall, but it's his rare combination of speed and strength that makes him special. He's outstanding in run coverage, and although he may need some work against the pass, he has a knack for the football. He's always making plays. At the Under Armour All-America Game, Collins had an interception and always came up to make a big hit at the goal line to prevent a touchdown. There's a good chance he sees the field as a freshman, possibly in nickel or dime coverage. Eventually, he's expected to take over the safety position that Barron occupied the last couple years.
Quotable: "I've known for a long time, since two years ago, that I wanted to come to Alabama. I was at a game when they were playing Florida, and it felt tremendous. I just felt like 'wow.' It's a big stadium, beautiful, and it just felt like home." Collins scouting video
Analysis: Smith committed to the University of Alabama somewhat early in the process, choosing the Crimson Tide over in-state rival Auburn. Since his commitment, he has become one of the top recruiters for UA through social media. Georgia tried to make a late push for the four-star cornerback, but Smith remains solid to Alabama. On the field, he projects as a cover corner, who could one day become a lockdown corner for the Tide. He has good size at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, good hips and the speed to keep up with wide receivers. As a senior at St. Pius X, he played more of a safety position where he also excelled. With that in mind, the UA coaching staff has discussed the possibility of Smith playing the 'Star' position in dime packages as a freshman. With the loss of Dre Kirkpatrick, DeQuan Menzie and Phelon Jones, he could also see playing time at cornerback. Smith fills a position of need for the Tide going forward.
Quotable: "It's a great feeling just knowing that you're going into a winning program. The expectations are high and even higher now because they're coming off a 12-1 season with a BCS national championship. That's pretty cool." Smith scouting video
Quotable: "I committed to Alabama out of high school, and I've just been ready to work with Coach (Nick) Saban to see how much better I can get."
Analysis: With the University of Alabama losing three cornerbacks this year (Kirkpatrick, Menzie, Jones), Dixon committed to the Crimson Tide because he felt that was the best opportunity for him to play early. He also pointed to the success that DeQuan Menzie had at UA coming from the junior college ranks. At 6-foot-2, Dixon compares more to Dre Kirkpatrick than he does Menzie, but I wouldn't be surprised he makes an immediate impact for the Tide next year in the secondary. The Miami native finished with 30 tackles, four interceptions, five pass breakups and a forced fumble for Eastern Arizona College this year. It also helps that Dixon enrolled early at Alabama, giving him a chance to compete for a spot this spring and get a leg up on the rest of the 2012 recruiting class.
Quotable: "I'm looking to fit in just like the other defensive backs. I'm looking forward to developing a relationship with Dee Milliner and the whole secondary, getting the chemistry together, so we can be the next great secondary in the upcoming season." Dixon scouting video

Hi, welcome to GTA Wiki. Thanks for contributing to the Blista Compact page, and for taking interest in the wiki. Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything, or as alternatives, leave a post on a forum, or refer to the Help pages. -- McJeff (Talk) 14:55, October 23, 2011
Hello there, IW-33,
I've seen your arguement about GTA IV pistol's model. I must say that your last edit to the article was great, and your'e right about the pistol. The pistol is a Glock 17, but I guess that Rockstar just made a mistake with the pistol's model. This is not really something new in the GTA series.
Thanks -- Ilan (XD • Edits • Home ) 17:51, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, man.
I was not going to argue with Maxime Belland (Now Max B because Maxime Belland has been blocked for being an improper username) because that person is on a couple other wikis and they have caused trouble and cause arguments just like mine about weapons on those other wikis. I even read that he/she has OCD, so I am not going to get involved.
I know what you mean. It does seem like Rockstar meant for the pistol in GTA: San Andreas to be Glock 17, because of the cutscene model, and it has the characteristics of a Glock 17, but for some silly reason they used the M1911 model lol.
Thanks for taking the time to post on here. =)

Sorry IW-33. I didn't have enough time to view over my writing. I guess the Buffalo's name reason is not relivent, but the dark red headlights do appear below the grille on the bumper's sub-grille. You can see it clearly in HD, but in SD, you can't see it clearly because of the pixelation They appear on both the Buffalo and FIB Buffalo when you can see the front side from far away. I'll rewrite it and see if it makes sence to you:
"When you see the Buffalo's sub-grille (below the grill and located on the bumper) from about 40 feet away from you, you will notice two red headlights that are about the size of the FIB Buffalo's bumper sirens. The sub-grill will even look blackened out from the view. When you walk up to the car, the lights will slowly darken and fade. When looking at the Buffalo right in front of it, the headlights will vanish and the sub-grille will appear detailed. (NOTE: You can see the Buffalo's "lights" clearly in HD, but in SD, you can't see it too vividly)
If there is need of corrections, let me know and I will repost it. My Wikia Account is Tony_4-2-8-1-9-9-8.
I agree with on that, but unfortunely this is how Rockstar Games and other sites treat to the 'Eras' now, via their graphics. I'm still in a big mess because of that as I have to re-name 'lots and 'lots of articles. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 15:17, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
Alright. I'll help you out this weekend by editing what pages I can to make the big conversion. I thought they were terms you used to be new placeholders until we came up with something else lol. Atleast we have official terms to use.
(Talk) 04:10, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
It was actually a confusion on my parts, thinking I had added a stats table to the article, when in fact I was yet to have done so. My fault really, there wasn't anything wrong with the text changes; that article looks a better with the information being streamlined now. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 19:35, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
No problem, I assumed that confusion was the root of the problem, so I did what I thought would resolve it. Thanks.
(Talk) 04:10, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
Saying hi
What's good my friend? As a fellow car person, I thought I'd stop by and see how things are going. I've come across some really interesting models recently. How are things on your side of the water?
JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 18:17, March 2, 2013 (UTC)
Pretty good, I appreciate you asking. I'm going to my first car show tomorrow, should be fun. Supposedly the biggest one in the state. American muscle, classics, Grand Tourers even a few legends like the GT-R and Ford GT40.
As far as this side of the pond, kinda sucky. People are developing an unholy hatred for guns, and it is getting sickening because of all the uneducated blather about how they should be banned. American society is just full of people who blindly support whatever BS the government tells them.
I won't bore you with politics anymore lol, so how are you doing?
- Criminals will still get hold of and use firearms regardless of whether they are banned or not. Bans will probably create more problems than they will solve...
- A car show you say? Sounds really good. After watching a few Fast and Furious films again recently, I'm beginning to see the appeal of '70 Charger, Road Runner and '73 Camaro.
- You mentioned the GT40. The MK I GT40 is one of the cars I would really love to see in person; a combination of classic British styling combined with the raw, powerful insanity of an American V8. It's the stuff of dreams.
- The next motor show I'm attending is all the way in June sadly, but it promises to showcase some interesting new models from Rolls Royce and a few others. What part of the U.S. is your show taking place?
JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 20:00, March 2, 2013 (UTC)
"Criminals will still get hold of and use firearms regardless of whether they are banned or not. Bans will probably create more problems than they will solve..."
Old cars are just so much more fun to drive and look at. Not to mention that their construction is strong and a whole helluva lot simpler in design. You could work on them real easy (as long as there is nothing extremely wrong with the car lol). Never really got into the whole import scene, but I have respect for the true import cars such as the GT-R, Supra, and RX-7. I just prefer snarling V8's and high torque. ;)
Sadly, I am only talking about the MK IV GT40. MK I's are super rare because they were the first real supercar and there weren't many made. I don't even think they were made for public consumption.
The car show is in Alpharetta, Georgia. Not very far from Atlanta, and it is a monthly car show with over 800 cars so it should be a blast. Here is the website if you wanna take a look: http://www.caffeineandoctane.com/
- Well my Sunday wasn't particularly special, how did your show go?
Hi, I'm Cloudkit01 also known as Bosco Howard or Moe Watterson, but my real name is JF. I been living in Georgia for 16 years, and sometimes I always wish that I could go back to New York, the state where I was born. So anyway, I heard that you live in Atlanta. Well I live in Suawnee where it's like couple miles away from where you live. If you want to know more about me,I'll be here and don't forget leave a message on my talkpage. And um, happy almost birthday dude.
Cloudkit01 (talk) 04:03, March 3, 2013 (UTC)JF
Wow, small world. I lived in Suwanee for a little while. Real neat to see another Georgian on here!
Thanks, man. Dad decided to take me to a big car show for my 16th birthday, and it will be my first lol. Too bad it will be 32 freakin' degrees at 8 AM with no sun. Too early on a Sunday for it to be that cold lol.
Thanks man, but you must know that I was actually born in New York and the reason that I have to move here 16 years ago is that my mom's job has made her move down here, but I'm trying to get back to my New York roots! So anyway, have fun tomorrow.

New vehicles & new approach
Good afternoon/ evening, I have filed a request for promotion, hopefully the likes of you, NicoBellicsBoss and others like us will be working alongside me to really amp up the vehicles aspect of our wiki. I'm almost excited for the release of GTA V and the strength that our area will have when it releases, if I'm successful.
It'll be fun to have a good look through each vehicle and drop the info on this wiki whilst doing so. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 19:40, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
Good on you, man, It's always be nice to have friends in high places.
And I will most def work with you, NBB, and some others on the vehicles. I might be a bit late on getting GTA V for myself, so I will do what I can until I get the game. September is skinny for me, and I am in the process of replacing my old PS3.
(Talk) 04:10, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks plenty for your support bro. You can vote on any of the requests here. Thanks in advance if you do decide to help me out, but it's your call, not mine.
JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 23:48, March 26, 2013 (UTC)
I voted for you, man. You deserve it as much as anyone.
Good luck.
(Talk) 04:10, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll not comment yet, just in case it gets jinxed. I have added a new section to User:JBanton making reference of the current key members that also contribute to vehicle articles. That way the credit can't be fully absorbed by me, but rather is deflected equally to the other vehicle people as well.
- Lol ok. Thanks for spreading the credit, it's nice to see my name up there.
- (Talk) 04:10, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
Regional terms
Seeing as the terms are mainly either American or European, we use both, seeing as it's a small bit of effort that avoids trouble with understanding/ nationalism etc JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 07:25, March 30, 2013 (UTC)
- A little side note; please refrain from adding extra speculation, while we do provide information for readers, anything that is uncertain is to be decided on by the readers. JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 07:32, March 30, 2013 (UTC)
I just launched this new wiki for a PS4 driving game, you should check it out and contribute if you have any information.
JBanton (Talk | Contribs) 17:48, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
I gotta hand it to you, it looks damn good so far. I don't know hoe much I will be able to contribute since I am one to slowly adapt to modern tech lol. Not sure about the PS4 yet, although the launch titles look killer so far.

Poor English
Hi, i can say sorry about the poor English, but is because my main langue is not English, so try to not dislike me OK? I have do my best about to speak English--Yong feng (talk) 17:50, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
No problem. I know you can't help it much and you do good edits so I have no reason to dislike you lol.
(Talk) 04:10, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
Thank you, and sorry about that i'm angry. But thankfully that you does not same Personality as one admin featured in Need For Speed Wiki, as that admin completely dislike me.--Yong feng (talk) 18:01, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
Sup IW-33, it's been a long time since we talked, I was busy with some stuff, hope we can talk to each other again, and if you still want to talk to me, I'll be on chat okay. Cloudkit01 (talk) 19:46, April 22, 2013 (UTC)Cloudkit
Sure man, I was busy too. I just finished moving into a new house, so I haven't had much time fore the wiki. Talk to you soon. (Talk) 04:10, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
Okay dude, I'll talk to you and see you on chat sometimes IW, I hope we become friends someday. Cloudkit01 (talk) 01:48, April 23, 2013 (UTC)Cloudkit01
RE: Shotgun
Sorry, IW-33, but I will not be really active this month because of the exams. You should contact an administrator. Thanks for reporting, and sorry because I can't help. Dodo8 Talk
Hey dude who lives in the same state as I do, are you exicted for no more school, cause I am, I only have one more week of school left and it's early release on the 20 through the 22 and I also have exams on the same day, so talk to me later man Cloudkit01 (talk) 23:53, May 12, 2013 (UTC)Cloud
An invitation
Hi there, I hope all things are well.
I've come in search of knowledge and assistance, we've recently resurrected a wiki project and things seems to be going okay. If you have any time to spare, please check out the vehicles on this page and add/ correct real-life inspirations if need be.
Back on this wiki, the new manual of style means that U.S. vehicles use U.S. English spellings for words are spelled differently across the ocean, be sure to check out the articles that concern the vehicles from your homeland, you'll have more to offer for those articles than me I think.
Thanks in advance for any help :) JBanton (Talk | Contribs)
Thanks JBanton, and sorry for the late reply. I will be sure to head over there! (Talk) 04:08, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
No problem. -- ILan (XD • Edits • Home ) 05:00, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

During our trip to New Zealand, we went to the Mueller hut, an alpine hut that overlooks Cook Mountain, the highest mountain in New Zealand. While going uphill to get a better view, four keas (mountain parrots) flew above us and landed right next to us in order to investigate what we were doing. (This is a very curious bird.) This is one of the keas landing next to us.

Nuttall's Woodpecker
Photograph by Iryna Dronova, My Shot
The woodpeckers apparently broaden their menu from insects that actually live in the wood to delicious offerings of the fruit trees. This seems to be a female Nuttall's woodpecker (Picoides nuttallii) feeding on a ripe pear. The photo was taken in Oakland, California, in November 2009.

Blue-Tailed Bee-Eater
Photograph by Yangchen Lin, My Shot
A blue-tailed bee-eater bursts through the surface in an exuberant spray of water, its wings beating at full thrust to regain cruising altitude. Tropical birds like bee-eaters, swallows, and swifts take frequent dives to clean and cool themselves in the warm climate. But this maneuver is more risky than it seems; the birds must maintain sufficient momentum throughout submergence to become airborne again and avoid drowning.

One morning in September, the kingfisher arrived on the branch with a fresh fish. The kingfisher smashed the fish against the branch at high speed to kill it. After the kill, the fish was eaten and the kingfisher left for another one. Shot in a local lake in Denmark.

Kingfisher Flying
Photograph by Torben Andersen, My Shot
One early morning in August, the kingfisher I spotted left the tree and went up in the air over the lake, looking over the lake for a fish. This time with the front toward the sun and me, I took my shots. This is one of them.

I had tried without success to get close enough for a good shot of this beautiful cuckoo and was just switching to a longer lens when suddenly he flew right into my lap! Luckily, I didn't fall over and was able to snap this quick shot before he flew off.

RLWC2013 - putting the Tour in Tournament
Posted 09 October 2012 - 01:50 PM
Rugby League World Cup stars past and present, including Martin Offiah, will send the trophy on its way around the UK. In addition, a class of schoolchildren from Scholes Junior School in Holmfirth will perform a version of the dramatic scene from the now famous meeting of the Northern Union.
The 61cm high, silver-plated trophy has a fascinating and illustrious past. It was commissioned by Paul Barrière, a former French Resistance fighter, for Rugby League's inaugural 1954 World Cup and the trophy was presented to the winning nation at the next four tournaments before being stolen from Bradford's Midland Hotel, six days before the 1970 final.
20 years later father-of-four Stephen Uttley discovered the trophy, which had originally cost eight million French Francs (approx. £500,000 today), among rubbish dumped in a ditch near the Bradford & Bingley Rugby League Club. It was brought back into use for the 2000 World Cup and presented to the victorious Australian team.
RLWC2013 Tournament Director, Nigel Wood said: "This magnificent trophy was one of the great Paul Barrière's many gifts to our game and deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.
"As part of our promotional plans for the tournament, the trophy will travel around the UK throughout the rest of 2012 and on into next year – right up to the first game at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff on October 26 2013.
"We'd like to thank reigning champions New Zealand for giving us the opportunity to take the trophy on the road in this way and also the children from Scholes Junior School for their great performance".
The highlights of the tour in 2012 including visits to Downing Street, The Senedd at The National Assembly for Wales, The St Helens' Schools Whittle Cup Festival and Old Trafford, as well as the forthcoming Autumn International series matches at Lens, Wrexham, Hull and Salford.

A very positive piece on the launch of the World Cup going on tour in the wider community.
Just one negative comment (lack of a sponsor so far) and one negative photo-the kids look like they are auditioning for Oliver!
Same story in the Evening Standard this time with tour dates and venues up to the New Year.
Would be great if the play of the build up 1895 meeting was turned into a film, inc the shenanigans of the 1893 vote

To meet the latest stringent efficiency regulations (Energy Star, 80Plus, European Efficiency), power-supply designers must consider the use of new power converter topologies and more efficient electronic components such as high-voltage silicon-carbide (SiC) Schottky rectifiers.
ST's SiC diodes take advantage of silicon carbide's superior physical characteristics over Si, with 4 times better dynamic characteristics and 15% less forward voltage, VF.
In hard-switching applications such as high-end-server and telecom power supplies, SiC Schottky diodes show a significant power-loss reduction and are commonly used. They are also increasingly being used in solar inverters, motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and electrical vehicle (EV) applications.
ST now provides a full family of SiC diodes, ranging from 600 V to 1200 V including single and dual diodes. These products are available in a variety of packages from DPAK to TO-247, including insulated TO-220AB/AC, and offer great flexibility to designers looking for efficiency, robustness, and reduced time to market and cost.
SiC diodes – now in TO-220AB/AC Insulated packages
Four 650V single diodes from 4 A to 10 A (STPSCxxH065DI) are available in the TO-220AC Ins package and three 650V dual in-series diodes from 6 A to 10 A (STPSCxxTH13TI) are available in the TO-220AB Ins package.
