Snaer broke away and caught a length-of-the court pass from Okaro White for an uncontested dunk that gave Florida State a 67-63 lead with 32 seconds left after both teams suffered turnovers in previous possessions with the lead on the line.
Richard Howell's 3-point play with 21 seconds left got the `Pack to within 67-66. He scored off a missed 3 by Wood and was fouled on the put back.
State (22-9, 11-7) led 35-34 at the half and built its advantage to eight points on three occasions in the second half, the last time at 49-41 and led 59-57 lead with 3:51 left when Wood sank two free throws after a technical foul was whistled against Florida State's Ian Miller, who had just fouled out.
Florida State, the defending ACC champion, was scrambling down the stretch to finish with a .500 conference mark and perhaps win an invite for a postseason NIT bid. Eight of the Seminoles' wins this season are by five points or less.
Freshman T.J. Warren, whose .613 field goal percentage leads the ACC, had season-highs of 31 points and 13 rebounds to lead NC State to an 84-66 win over the Seminoles in Raleigh, N.C. on Feb. 19, but finished with eight points Saturday.
Lorenzo Brown, who led an 11-2 run to end the first half that gave NC State a 35-34 lead, scored 14 points and Howell finished with 10. C.J. Leslie, who played just 18 minutes because of foul trouble, had just five points and three rebounds.

The U.S-Israel Business Initiative hosted a luncheon with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's top economic advisor and Head of Israel's National Economic Council, Dr. Eugene Kandel, during the premiere's recent trip to the United States. In his presentation, Dr. Kandel described the factors that have allowed Israel's economy to prosper despite the global recession, focusing on the country's longstanding commitment to research and development. In the second part of his presentation, Dr. Kandel highlighted Israel's plans for a new oil independence initiative, an aggressive project designed to eliminate Israeli dependence on foreign oil within the next ten years. To do this, Israel has committed billions of dollars to research projects designed to develop new, alternative energies, and is actively seeking U.S. and other foreign partners to join this new effort.

Beach at Capri, Italy
Boat trip around Capri
The Isle of Capri boasts the famous Blue Grotto. The grotto is entered in these row boats that can fit through the small entrance opening.
Anacapri has a lift that takes one to the top of the island for spectacular views of the island and sea. The ride is peacefully quiet with a cool ocean breeze and beautiful views. On a warm summer day, having my lemon slush drink was the perfect finishing touch for the ride back down.
The Blue Grotto is enter through a small opening just large enough for a row boat to fit through at the bottom of a wave trough. The opening sometimes closes completely at the crest of a wave, yet the brilliant blue water color remains. With the bright blue on the bottom and dark ceiling, it's as if the whole world is turned upside down.

By Matt Walker
"We decided that the process may benefit from additional analysis."
That's how Admiral Thad Allen — the big federal cheese overseeing the Gulf Coast meltdown — explained today's decision to pause all containment efforts in the Gulf. Just a few days ago, BP had put on a fancy new "top hat"that would close off the well leading to the Deepwater Horizon and recover the oil. Now the Fed wants BP to verify that the casing, or the piping in the well, is intact and that the oil would stay contained if BP shuts the well in. Meanwhile, they've also stopped drilling both relief wells, dampening the impending party for what looked like the first big success in nearly three months. Now the oil spills unimpeded — for a total of 92,720,000 gallons and counting. Also climbing is the animal body count: 1,387 birds, 444 turtles, 53 dolphins and one sperm whale — most of which, for all you dispersant-phobes, show no visible signs of oil contamination.
One figure that's not endlessly flowing is the amount of cash BP's paying out, as the company is "becoming increasingly stringent with its demands for documentation from victims filing claims." (In other words, bring your receipts and be prepared to wait.) They also rejected Florida's request for an additional $50 million in marketing money to promote the state's tourism. (Apparently, they need the ad cash to rebuild their own image.) But in the wake of another successful Jimmy Buffett concert (is there really such a thing? they are considering doing some more shows to convince folks to visit Alabama's oil-slicked beaches, suggesting "country singers Faith Hill and Zac Brown and soft rocker Jack Johnson." (Call us when you got a Marley-Hendrix-Cobain-Nowell reunion tour.)
Of course, the idea that flocks of drunken Parrot-heads may being your sole tourism market is making other coastal towns increasingly scared. No wonder state legislatures are taking action. In Florida, Governor Crist called a special legislative session to consider a constitutional ban on offshore oil drilling. Meanwhile, NC voted "yes" on a bill that would eliminate a cap on damages the state could collect from BP in the event an oil slick arrives.
And they're right to be nervous, as the federal government is looking more and more sketchy — dare we say, slick — each week. According to one report, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is hoarding vast amounts of raw data that researchers say could help the public and scientists better understand the extent of the damage. (BP, of course, gets full access.) And in case you were hoping the Prez's new, improved, Deepwater Moratorium 2.0 was the prelude to some real action to stop drilling entirely — or at least the first step to not expanding drilling in new areas — think again. On Monday, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama is committed to deepwater drilling once the practice is "determined to be safe."
Our question: Hasn't the practice been "determined to be safe" before, only to blow up in our faces every 20 years? And just who gets to "determine" these things? Seems to us, the very logic behind offshore drilling overall would "benefit from additional analysis."
In the meantime, follow Laird's PSA lead by screaming "BP, you bastards!". Then, call the White House (202-456-1111) and do the same. And if you got a spare buck, cough up some dough to help Emerald Coast Surfrider do dispersant testing — and help keep your Gulf Coast surfing brethren from coughing up blood.

The Slow, Watery Death of Light Beer in AmericaBy
It's no secret that big industrial beers like Budweiser are in terminal decline in the U.S. thanks to the growing sophistication of American drinkers. So perhaps it was inevitable that light beers from the same monolithic brewers might suffer the same fate sooner or later. It turns out to be sooner than one might think.
Here's a statistic that will hearten beer snobs and unnerve high-ranking people at Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors. Domestic light beer sales in the U.S. will hit a 10-year low in 2015, according to a report in Shanken News Daily. Light beer sales fell by 3.5 percent, to 98.4 million barrels, in 2013, and the e-mail newsletter projects that sales will decline by an additional 4.9 million barrels by 2015.
The biggest losers in the report are the obvious suspects. AB InBev's Bud Light, the sector's dominant force, suffered its fifth straight down year, according to the newsletter, dropping by 3.1 percent, to 37.6 million barrels. Coors Light lost 1.5 percent of its sales, and Miller Lite had an even worse year as sales dwindled by 5.9 percent.
"We've seen shifts in the marketplace over the past decade, yet we're well-positioned to respond to consumer trends," said David Almeida, vice president of sales at Anheuser-Busch. He pointed to innovation in the Bud Light brand, including such new drinks as the Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita, as well as "significant marketing support and a new creative campaign" to help bolster the company's signature light beer.
Another relatively new beer, Bud Light Platinum, features prominently in the sales report. AB InBev hoped would offset its mother brand's decline, but as Shanken News Daily found:
"The light beer downturn that began in 2009 saw a brief interruption with 2012's volume gain of 0.6 percent. But that upturn was primarily due to the launch of super-premium Bud Light Platinum, which exceeded 1.7 million barrels in that year. Last year, Bud Light Platinum suffered a 19 percent slide, and the super-premium light beer sector fell by nearly 700,000 barrels."
Naturally, Shanken attributes the entire segment's woes to the increasing popularity of craft beer, imports, and cider. Cider? If that's depressing Bud Light sales, no amount of TV advertising can save American's biggest light beer brand.
(This post has been updated with a comment from AB InBev.)

My DD has very shrinky 4a hair. When wet it's past her waist, but if we let it dry naturally it's not even to her shoulders. She's seven now, and I've tried all kinds of great styles on her that might work on your DD. Have you tried twists--single or double strand? I used to plait her hair and part it into geometric shapes. My DD's hair tangles like crazy if left natural, so we really don't do that more than once a year for a special treat. Braidouts are also great, just take down dry braided hair and put little clips or something--it gives a 'curly' look but without the shrinkage and tangling. My DD's friends went nuts when she wore her braidouts in 4 ponytails. She's possible the only black person in her whole year at school but she's very self confident about her appearance. She's very patient and loves to try new styles. "It's all Good Hair" is a helpful book with detailed diagrams on how to do stuff (great for me since I have totally different hair and had to learn from scratch--I'm also from the UK, but live in NY now
). She loves to look through the pics and choose a style--maybe your DD would enjoy that too.
The products you're using sound moisturizing. I don't think there's anything that eliminates shrinkage, though. I was looking at ancient Egyptian reliefs at a museum once, and I could swear one of them had weights hanging on the ends of her hair
Maybe one day we'll get bored and try that...

It increasingly has become evident that many supporters of people like Rand Paul completely misunderstand issues involved in ending segregation. They invariably pose discussion of integration as one of "property rights" and the individual's right to decide what happens to his property, and that individuals have a right to decide who does or does not enter their property. Let me begin with a story told me by a cousin who was in training at Ft. Benning,Georgia on his way to landing on Omaha Beach. He was on a trolley when a black woman carrying packages entered, as a good New Yorker, he rose and offered his seat. The trolley car conductor halted the trolley and insisted my cousin had to return to his seat because the LAW said, he did NOT have the right to give his seat to a black person. Segregation was a LEGAL SYSTEM, not a personal decision. During WWII, Southern states even had segregated bomb shelters!! The most outrageous example of segregation occurred during WWII when captured German and Italian soldiers who had fought against British and American soldiers were sent to the American south and placed in POW camps. Unlike today, during WWII, the USA respected the Geneva Conventions regarding prisoners, even those who were dedicated Nazis. The Geneva Conventions allows POWs to work if paid and thousands of German prisoners in the South took advantage. In my files, I have a famous cartoon which depicts a German POW entering a WHITE ONLY restaurant(many POWS got weekend passes and they could go to town and spend their money) while his Negro guard can not!!
Segregation laws prevented Negro men and women from gaining access to hospitals, it prevented attending university law and medical schools, it even dictated entry to a circus. Perhaps, Mr. Rand Paul can defend Southern laws which MADE ILLEGAL A MARRIAGE BETWEEN A WHITE AND BLACK SKINNED PERSON. Talk about INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS!! Mr. Rand Paul is a nice man, unfortunately, he lacks knowledge the system of segregation and its impact on the lives of Negro and white people.
How about a trip to the library, Mr. Rand Paul??

Hey all. I have a '98 ZL 440 ~ 2500 miles and when riding last weekend had my speedo stop working about 30 miles from the trailer. I got back to the trailer with no problems, in fact it seemed to be running great. I investigated when I got home to find out that the PTO side bearing was shredded...seems to be a common problem. One of the steel balls was even split in half! I took it in to get fixed and they quoted me around $350 to get it fixed. Does that sound about right to get both driveline bearings replaced + labor? I just want a reality check to make sure I am not getting ripped off. It must be quite a job to replace the bearings because I know the parts are not that expensive.

I'm waiting on two bearings for the same job on a 95 bearcat. The two bearings and new speedo adapter cost a total of around 50 dollars. I'm doing the installation myself.

Dealer quoted me 3hrs labor at $75/hr + $75 parts. I ended up doing it myself - first time doing it and it probably took me 4-5 hrs in total in my spare time.

Thanks for the feedback. I was going to attempt the repair myself, but feared that I may have damaged more than just the bearing and wasn't sure what else to look for. I also wasn't crazy about spending 4 hours of time on my cold garage floor doing the repair. It sounds like $350 may be a little high, but not too far out of line.

Damn, on my tcat, i would loosen track, take off speedo cable and drive adapter plate, unscrew set screw, and pop out bearing. Start to finish, 20 minutes, but I changed it every year, cos I had one let go and take out bracket.
This was for a straight bearing change that came off real easy, make take longer and may have to remove suspension, chaincase covers, gear, chain and drive axle if there are any problems. But still, get a few buddies over, a 24, and have at it.
Oh, the 24 after the install!!!

Apparently you must have different Arctic Cats from the rest of us.The driveshaft sticks through the edge of the tunnel slightly on mine and the hole in the tunnel is smaller than the bearing outer race so it will not come through the hole.I have thought about coming up with the idea of a double width bearing and larger mtg flange so that a bigger hole is in the tunnel ,henceforth being able to slide the bearing out the speedo side in the 20 minutes that describe.

You can take the bearing out from the "Speedo" side because the bearing is inside a two piece cup that bolts to the tunnel. The only hard part would be disconnecting the locking ring on the drive shaft that holds the bearing in place because it is on the inside of the tunnel. Plus you would then have to reuse the old locking ring. Better to remove the drive shaft and replace the Bearing on BOTH sides. Not worth taking the whole thing apart and reusing a $20 bearing. Did this last week on my spare sled 99 powder special, it took 2 hours and 15 min in a nice warm shop! Parts list, BOTH bearings, gasket for your chain case, and there is and O-ring inside the chain case & oil. Best of luck

Kate Upton: V Magazine Vixen
She just keeps getting hotter, and Kate Upton has outdone herself in a new photo spread for V Magazine's latest issue.
And the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl is picture perfect in a 1960s-flavored feature, set in a vintage-looking European hotel.
Photographer Sebastian Faena sang Kate's praises after the gig, noting that she definitely has a flair for the dramatic.
"Kate was an actress during this shoot. A good one, very sensitive and played the part of a confused, kept housewife with irony. She has star quality. She is like nobody else today."
Meanwhile, British Vogue honcho Alexandra Shulman also complimented Upton on her mass appeal- "It's very rare for a girl; to move from one area of the business to the other, largely due to the fact that fashion models are almost without curves, whereas swimwear girls are celebrated for them. When I decided to shoot Kate for our first cover of 2013, it was to kick off the year with a young women who is not a stereotypical fashion model - although, let's face it, she's hardly a heffalump!"

East London's top street food traders are moving south of the river to reopen a market that's been derelict for a decade.
The Street Feast team behind Dalston Yard and events at Hackney's Hawker House are reviving The Model Market on Lewisham High Street.
Street Feast partner Jonathan Downey told the Standard: "If you say 'Lewisham', people don't think of it as an area for eating and drinking, but they said that about Dalston two or three years ago. Hopefully this can have the same impact."
Street Feast's biggest hitters are opening on the site, with four bars, 11 eateries and a roof terrace. It launches on June 20.
"We're bringing some of the A-Team down," Mr Downey said.
"They're the Premier League of street food, people like Yum Bun and Breddos tacos. They are the best at what they do, not just in London but worldwide."
The market, which has cost "tens of thousands" of pounds to develop, will be open every Friday and Saturday evening for 15 weeks.
It has capacity for around 600 people.

Sales of English sparkling wine more than trebled at Majestic last year after their showcasing at the 2012 Olympics and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
"We sold more than £1 million worth," said chief executive Steve Lewis. "And the best seller is the £28-a-bottle Nyetimber, which just shows how much the quality of English wine has improved."
Majestic also won the contract to supply wines to Lord's, the home of English cricket, in the past year.
Pre-tax profits rose £500,000 to £23.7 million in the year to March despite sales falling by 2.1% to £274 million as Majestic cut back its less-profitable wholesale trade.
The average price spent by a Majestic customer on a bottle rose by 3% to £7.56, which is way ahead of the supermarkets' average of £5.10. Majestic opened 16 new stores last year, and plans the same number this year as it gradually brings outlets to more and more market towns.
Lewis said present trading was in line with his expectations and the group was "well prepared for the key summer trading period".

With the announcement of Myron Rosander as the new visual designer, the hopes of many Regiment Phans and Phamily have been raised. For anyone reading this who doesn't know Myron, where have you been? But alas, here's a brief resumé.
From 1976 through 2005, he was a performer, instructor, principal visual designer and assistant director for the Santa Clara Vanguard. In 2000, Rosander was the recipient of the prestigious "Gail Royer Memorial Vanguard of the Year" award, which is the highest honor one can receive within the SCV organization.
His other DCI credits include designing for the two-time DCI World Champion Madison Scouts in 2006 and the 2002 DCI World Finalist Cascades from Seattle, WA. He has also recently designed for the highly-respected DCA all-age corps, the Bushwackers from Harrison, NJ.
In 2005 and 2006, he was visual designer for the L.D. Bell HS Marching Band from Hurst, TX.
During those two years, L.D. Bell finished with the bronze and silver medals, respectively, at the BOA Grand Nationals Championships in Indianapolis, IN.
He has served on the DCI Task Force and has been the author and subject matter for numerous teachers and publications, including Today's Music Educator, Drum Corps World and DCI Today.
He has conducted clinics for bands and winter guards throughout the United States for the past 25 years and is also a respected judge for Bands of America at contests throughout the United States, as well as judging independently in the winter guard and winter percussion arena.
Currently, he resides in beautiful Lake Tahoe, CA, where he operates his own design studio — www.myronrosander.com.
Guess it wasn't really so brief after all!
Jeff Davis: Was there anything in the intro that we missed or that you'd like to add?
Myron Rosander: Nope, that pretty much hits the general highlights and makes me feel pretty old as well. But that's okay, because I guess I have been around the activity awhile now.
JD: After going through a number of "who?" designers, I have to confess that I was thrilled that the corps chose someone with your reputation. I'd really like to know how you were approached for the position, if you had to think about it for a while and why there appears to be a lapse in your designing career after 2006?
MR: Thank you for those very kind words, Jeff, as I do appreciate them very much. As for how this entire odyssey began, I can honestly say it was I who approached the Regiment first. Of course, how this situation occurred would really need some elaboration on the past few years and some of the medical complications that arose, taking me away from the activity I love so dearly.
This is something people ask me about all the time and, honestly, it's very personal and not an easy thing to discuss. But I think interested readers probably have a right to know the story behind my long absence. I'll do my best to hit the highlights (and lowlights) of this scenario, so please bear with me.
After a very long career as a designer-instructor for the Santa Clara Vanguard, I decided it was time to move forward after the 2005 drum corps season. I spent a year with the Madison Scouts in 2006, but due to circumstances beyond the staff's control, I sadly, and with much hesitation, left the organization after one short but memorable season.
The one difficult thing about that year, though, was that, health-wise, I knew something was already very wrong, but I kept it away from people. In retrospect, this was a mistake. I was sick, losing weight rapidly and my work was suffering because of it. I really wasn't able to give it the maximum creative effort it deserved.
Truthfully, the problems began as early as 2005, but I just kept ignoring it all until it was nearly too late. I loved my time with the Scouts and received a corps jacket after season's end. It just mysteriously appeared in the mail one day with my name embroidered on it, which I thought was curious, if not amazing. That Scouts jacket is truly one of my prized possessions. I definitely rank that up there with my many SCV keepsakes.
After the Scouts, I had then set forward ready to design for the Boston Crusaders in 2007. But in January of that year, a life-threatening illness struck, taking me out of that equation entirely. On January 31, 2007, I was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease which is a worst case scenario for that particular illness. I had borderline stage-four kidney disease and was a breath away from permanent dialysis. So, essentially I was in multiple organ failure.
Due to the severity of my condition, the original prognosis gave me only three or four months to live and little to no hope for recovery. A transplant wasn't possible because of simple supply and demand and there was no way I'd survive long enough for that to become a reality.
There's nothing quite like the feeling of being told you're going to die and it's too late for any remedy. Even with my spiritual faith, it was still a brand of fear I'd never known.
Well, the short of it was, three to four months passed, giving way to six months. Then I hit the year mark and, incredibly, I was still alive. All told, I was in and out of the hospital for 18 months, but still continued to improve with each passing day. Of course, this left my doctors, family and very close friends stunned as most, myself included, prepared for the impending finality.
It's now been over three years and my kidney situation is fully contained and my liver has managed to regenerate function enough to live a somewhat normal life again. It's as crazy and amazing as it sounds, as I have been given a second chance at life and I now find myself reasonably healthy enough again to be a part of drum corps, as well as many of the other wonderful things life has to offer.
It's all pretty miraculous. I cannot say enough about my doctors and especially my parents, family and friends, and the spiritual and physical healing that has occurred. It really defies description and has motivated me beyond any other point in my life to a much higher place. It's almost overwhelming.
So, this was my very long road to the Phantom Regiment in 2010! I've managed to come out on the other side of something that began so horrifically, to find that the Regiment (and the Mandarins) have given me another chance to design again. Even a year ago, this didn't seem possible and words of appreciation fail miserably, so I won't even try.
At any rate, I approached the Regiment late last summer after the DCI season had concluded. I initially contacted Executive Director Rick Valenzuela whom I've had a long history with from our days at SCV. After that, long-time Program Coordinator Dan Farrell picked up the ball and everything was set in motion. Once the interviewing process had occurred with several other candidates, I somehow managed to end up in the role of new visual designer for the Phantom Regiment.
I think much of the decision was centered on the idea of if I was really capable health-wise and the fear of my dropping out like what occurred with the Crusaders in '07. It's amazing and fascinating how life's events unfold. But here I am and truly grateful beyond what words can express.
JD: What will be the full extent of your responsibilities with the corps?
MR: Originally I thought I'd just be the visual designer and that would be the extent of my responsibility. But the Regiment has expressed a strong interest in me being around the corps members and staff on a fairly regular basis. Of course, that process for me will not really begin fully until spring training, which I'm so looking forward to.
Hopefully, I'll be able to bring a bit of experience and knowledge to the corps members, as teaching is the only real fun anyway and much more rewarding than designing alone.
Still, though, my job will also be to stay out of the way of the "real" working staff, who, along with the corps members, are the ones who really make it happen. The drill designer status is just gravy and pales in comparison to what happens on the field on a daily basis. Anyone who has marched and taught knows exactly what I mean.
JD: I'm probably over-simplifying this, but, to the average fan, it seems the top visual programs tend to sacrifice musicality for the sake of "breakneck" visual moves. Is it possible to develop a competitive/innovative visual program that allows a corps to actually play a melodic piece of music rather than four bars of music and a 32-count drum break while performing said "breakneck" moves?
MR: This is a fair question and one that has arisen often over recent years. The standard of visual design and the multi-physical responsibilities that go with it is something that's not likely to go away. However, I do think you see many more groups engaging in expressive movement [dance] as a means of artistic expression.
And, although many factors have led to this development, such as the direct influence of the Star of Indiana in 1993, I look to the Blue Knights and Robbie Billings' "movement with musicians" approach during the last decade as really ahead of its time.
While the speed of motion of drill has diminished some in my opinion, it has been somewhat replaced or augmented by the technical expression of dance which brings an entirely new set of challenges, responsibilities and beauty.
Regardless of this evolution, I'm not sure the visual design has, in single-handed fashion, caused what some would call the "chop and bop" style of music we often hear. I think it's just more a product of this generation and of current times.
Total program is the idea and with this approach often comes the designers' attempt to combine many musical phrases and styles together. Conversely, many would argue that the variety and shorter duration of musical phrase offers more substance to the overall program.
My personal belief is, as with most things in life, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. But an uninterrupted melody can, and often does, ring truer that anything else. As odd as it may seem to the average fan, no one really sets out to infuriate the audience or bore them to tears with this style. It's just a case where, as time passes, the process evolves, rightly or wrongly, into something that's more a hybrid of its former self.
Still, though, the experience for the average corps member is nearly the same as it was 30 years ago. And as I've often said, peanut butter and jelly pretty much tastes like it did in 1976 when I first began marching as a 15-year-old kid. So that's how it rolls.
JD: If you were to label your visual "style," how would you describe it?
MR: Uh oh . . . labels. I'm a bit uncomfortable with that, but I do know what you're asking. If push came to shove, I think I'd label my style as "musical and artistry-driven." My motivation for what I see, and more importantly feel, comes directly from instincts derived from the musical program. For me, music always comes first. This would include the wicked triple fortissimo phrase where the brass is wailing and the percussionists' sticks are above their heads, to the subtle, singular ring of a chime from the pit.
It all matters greatly and must be expressed in the visual medium in a way that's unique to, and from, you the designer. Easier said than done, I can assure you. But this is the responsibility and, more importantly, the opportunity to bring a unique sense of art into the sequence of events.
I know some people are sensitive about calling this an art form, but it's all in how you look at it. For instance, jazz is a uniquely American art form, as is drum corps. And they have both taken a slightly similar path with regard to evolution and complexity.
The blues and simpler versions of jazz led to be-bop and other abreactions of its form. It's still jazz, but multiple approaches have developed over time and drum corps has followed in a similar vein. Honestly, there's room for all of it, but sometimes competitive motivations take hold, thus making many drum corps approaches similar in nature.
However, it's likely all cyclical as well. I think we're seeing that change of direction now as the cookiecutter approach seems to be diminishing, with many corps either re-establishing their identity or breaking out into something new. Again, I think the stage is large enough for all to flourish.
Anyway, relating this all to the visual perspective and my particular style, it's all about the art for me. But I'm pretty sure my drill charts are not going to end up in the Louvre 500 years from now, hangin' with Da Vinci and the boys, but musically and visually, we're still unique unto our own activity. Actually, Michael Gaines' drill charts for The Cavaliers do have a shot at the Louvre, I believe.
All kidding aside, it's all about the artistry, subtly and musicality of visual phrase that is the most important element in visual design to me. Cool drill moves come and go and I've written a few of them myself.
But the sustaining factor that makes drum corps memorable is the way a program and performance can make people feel. That IS the art form and, more than anything else, is the one true thing the audience will always remember.
JD: When putting a visual program together, what all do you use as motivation or inspiration aside from the music itself?
MR: The music, as I've stated, is the primary source for me. My instinct, based on internal feeling, is the one true element that conveys original thought. My other inspirations, though, often come from the world of dance. The Mark Morris Dance Group of Brooklyn, NY, has had the strongest outside influence on me when it comes to performance art and staging.
Morris' vision of the stage and its relationship to the dancer or dance ensemble is truly amazing. His style has an incredible sense of balance, organization and irony to it, and probably comes closest to our activity. There are others as well, like Twyla Tharpe, Alvin Ailey, the list goes on.
Other inspirations come from my own artwork. Not because any of it is particularly good, but because of the major discoveries that have come because of it. I've learned so much about texture, perspective, color and the subtlety that comes with painting that it still blows me away.
Of course, I've only been painting for a short time and am completely self-taught, which is a nice way of saying I've painted some of the worst crap imaginable, all in the name of learning and moving forward in a purist fashion, uncluttered by the classroom teachings of art and its related techniques. Trial and error, with an emphasis on error, is the way I've come to evolve as a painter.
The irony of this is, that it absolutely mirrors the way I learned how to design drill. The two are synonymous, which was something I never intentionally set out to achieve.
Things have simply evolved to where they are and I spend little time worrying about if people think it's good or not. All you can do is your very best and, most importantly, try to not let your performers down in the process. Again, easier said than done sometimes.
JD: I've read that some are concerned the Regiment will look like Vanguard. I don't consider it a problem, but how would you address those concerns?
MR: This is another good question and one that I sometimes hear as well. Many people have said my drill with other groups looks "SCV specific." The truth is, the SCV style of drill over my many years there was a look that I developed with the Vanguard specifically in mind.
The Vanguard style didn't so much create me, as it was more of a new and different direction I wanted to take the corps after my predecessors. And in so many ways, I just got lucky in the process.
The thing is, there are certain aspects that appeal to me artistically and it's nearly impossible for them not to creep in. That being said, I'm still looking for another reinvention to my style which has occurred a few times over the years. I find many people don't often put together that the guy who wrote the drill for the "Phantom of the Opera" shows of SCV in the late '80s is the same guy who conjured the artistic direction and minimalist style of the Vanguard in my later years.
So, I know it's possible. And this is the very thing I'm working on for the Regiment in 2010. I want it to be a new day for us not relying on my past, but forging ahead with a new and creative vibrancy.
If I can break free of my own devices, while keeping the Regiment's identity and glorious history in mind, I should have a look that, hopefully, people in the future will complain looks too "Regiment specific." That is my mission and I think I'm really going to enjoy this.
JD: Is there a show concept that hasn't been done that you would like to see on the field?
MR: There are many concepts that come to mind and I keep them written down in a journal. The one that readily comes to the forefront, though, is the idea of doing Ravel's Bolero in its entirety and as close as possible to the original. The show would begin, as in the original music, extremely minimal. Then, it would continue forward with a deliberate, massive crescendo throughout the middle portion, then slowly taper down to its conclusion.
Of course, it would resolve with a large flourish at the end . . . exactly like the original and with the exact same pacing. No adaptations or compromises necessary, just pure. And that would be the show in its entirety.
Actually, I introduced this idea during the off-season prior to 2002 with SCV and, although brilliant composer/arranger Jim Casella was on board with me, it was ultimately met with strong resistance from others. In all fairness, though, the resistance had a great deal of merit as this idea was truly risky. The problem was, I could always answer the artistic question of the "why" doing this as a total show concept, but could never answer the "how."
Telling some mom and dad that their son Billy, a bass drummer who just paid two thousand dollars in tour fees, will not even appear until five minutes into the show, is a conversation I'd rather not have.
Also, current time limitations, although improved dramatically since '02, are still not quite what I'd need to make this happen effectively, in the purist fashion I'd prefer. Someday maybe and perhaps sooner than later. You just never can tell.
JD: "Into the Light" (The new moon in the old moon's arms) I get an "On Air" feeling for some reason. What can you tell us about the show and your approach to the visual element?
MR: This was an idea I introduced at the very first Regiment design meeting in September '09. It fell into place very quickly as our amazing brass arranger, JD Shaw stated he had the perfect music for this concept. And I'll tell you, he was absolutely right, as the spiritual nature and beauty-personified feeling that comes across is exceptionally moving. It was exactly what I was hoping for.
As of now (spring 2010), both JD and master percussion arranger Paul Rennick have presented it beautifully, as it's all so very moving and wonderfully produced. With all that said, it's very important to note that this is a "concept-driven" show and not based on any story line whatsoever. This, in itself, will provide a different avenue for the Regiment to travel. It is certainly strikingly different than recent productions, but still carries the power and passion that IS the Phantom Regiment. The reason I say that is because it's all right there in the music for everyone to experience.
Regarding our 2010 program, ultimately, "Into the Light" is about a life cycle that opens like a flower, with breathtaking beauty and innocence. As it develops, the cycle travels through the trials and tribulations that will occur over space and time. The conclusion resolves with glorious finality, as if passing through a portal to another world. Frankly, it's as ethereal, other-worldly and spiritual as is sounds and the feeling will be all about that which is beautiful. Simple.
For me, this program takes on a special meaning. As with many great books and films, subject matter directly influenced by life's experiences are often the best vehicles. In my case, I will let my recent experiences guide me, hopefully in a way that is genuine in nature and honest in its beauty.
More than anything, that is what I hope to bring to the Regiment in 2010.

And you don't pick Trist for pushing, there are better pushers.
Playing at lower levels means nothing, most of those people are learning the game themselves.
Building around movespeed is dumb, it's a nice bonus not a focus.
Not to mention Trist has completely shit base speed
Lotro is having a givaway on their facebook page. winner will recieve a alienware m14x gaming laptop. so sign up!! link below
Infact the actual viable build for tristana would farm better and push faster then the build you are currently using. I'd also suggest running exhaust or ignite over heal as they will benefit you so so so much more.
Also armor pen is always a must on any real hard carry. Your damage and crits aren't going to do squat against Malphite/Rammus/Leona/Alistar or anyone else who builds any armor. If they build a frozen heart or thornmail you have just been made useless.
1 phantom dancer can be okay, 2 is just a waste of money.
Same here , thought i wanted to get alteast Silver.. but its seems impossible >.>6][I][CENTER]Well i'm done playing til they release Dominion...these teams they put me with just suck!
I had 1370 AGAIN! Like for fifth time but then retards came and im 1300... ZzZzz
EDIT : Last pick , need ad carry or support = locks in as veigar
EDIT : Sona say's " Support doesnt needs CV nor support buys Ward , ( she has no CV )
Veigar and Sona = 0 /4 in 7mins..
Im afk >.>
BB LoL

AFKers are just as bad as feeders.
damn got 6.3k ip and cant decide.... should i buy talon ( also known as omfgbbqopnerfmuch ) or wait for a new champ info ( strangely there isnt much of it o_O besides that she is mobile melee sworduser )
Troll Team 100%! EVERYONE writes in CAPS in ALL chat
OH mah gawd that was so funny , we won with trolls in our team
Now im sad that i didnt record it
hey guys...i went into custom today for the first time after a really long time and I see a lot of rooms labelled afk...what is the point of this room? I thought u could only be idle for a few mins before u get dc'd.
We lost again!
So easy game gawd!
We lost ONLY because our gay corki sat Afk and then went for some feding ( 0/7 ) only because soraka took some kills with her Q
At least when people go afk for longer period then don't simply disconnect them but terminate. Because if you are going to leave for 10mins+ at the start of the game might as well give that gold of yours to your team and save the nerves for others.
That'll also teach all those idiots "OMG! I g2g sorry guyz!11one!!!"
I've found that if its like a 5v5 but you have just one guy who refuses to play as a team and farms a lane all game. Use him. Me and the other four colaberated and waited for the guy to get ganked in his lane by 3 of them and then killed them off losing our useless guy. Win.
My second time playing as Alistar, when I frist did I didn't knew what his second spell does and was just pushing them backward, farthering them from my team mates, but now... I think I did pretty decent.
They were not so good, the bot laners hardly killed 5-15 creeps.
Interesting hero tho.

SAN DIEGO - Marines from Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 16, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, helped Feeding America San Diego open its new warehouse March 25.
Thirty Marines from MALS 16 assisted with the grand opening of the new building by cleaning and organizing the new warehouse and the Headquarters and Headquarters Squadron color guard performed during the ceremonies.
The Marine volunteers came to the warehouse a week before its grand opening to help clean, organize and prepare it for the celebration, explained Cpl. Mason Turner, an aviation ordnance systems technician with MALS 16.
"If we get one or two Marines here, they'll do the work of 20 volunteers," said Tim Ney, the chief operations officer at Feeding America San Diego.
Turner explained that Marines bring military discipline and efficiency whenever they volunteer in community service.
"We have individuals who are outgoing, they know what needs to be done and they're good with timelines," said Turner. "We get tasks from [Feeding America] employees and we get it done. This place looked pretty hectic last weekend," said Turner.
While Marine volunteers support Feeding America, the organization also supports local military families struggling to put food on the table, explained Ney.
"As much as the military contributes to our organization, we love to give back," said Ney, a former Marine. "I was in the fight. I understand the sacrifices."
Feeding America San Diego distributes food to more than 175 charitable organizations and feeds 73,000 children, families and seniors each week, which includes military families.
The new warehouse can move 16 million pounds of food each year, but this feat cannot be accomplished without efficient and well-organized help.
Turner explained that he believes most service members enlisted to help their communities, and Feeding America is a great local opportunity to support.

Need to solve a system of equations
I need to find all (trivial and nontrivial) solutions of the following
system of nonlinear equations in variables d, h, and r:
m1*r*(d+h+r)^2 = (r+h/2)^2
h/2*(d+h+r)+r*d = m2*h*(d+h+r)^2
m2*d*(d+h+r)^2 = (d+h/2)^2
where m1 and m2 are arbitrary constants. I currently have three solutions:
(r,h,d) = {(0,0,0),(0,0,1/m2),(1/m1,0,0)} and there exists at least one
more solution.

Kim Kardashian Bring Extreme Cleavage to Ryan Seacrest Foundation Event
She can't help but show off her incredible body and last night (April 10) Kim Kardashian had all eyes on her thanks to her ample assets.
Prior to attending an event for the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, the "Disaster Movie" dame posed for some Instagram photos in her gleaming white plunging dress from Wes Gordon.
Kim posted a full-body shot with mom Kris Jenner while her stylist Joyce Bonelli zoomed in on Ms. Kardashian's lady pillows for a sultry black and white shot.
Speaking of Mama Jenner, she told Australian radio that she's not stripping down for Playboy as previously rumored. "Oh my God, no! I don't think anybody wants to see me without any clothes on."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/2/2013 (1578 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
As unlikely as it may sound, Brandon is home to the province's only cannabis clinic, a fact that has not been lost on an increasing number of Manitobans who have been approved to possess pot for medical purposes.
As the Sun first reported on Feb. 2, medical marijuana user Jade Ridge — who is also the regional rep for the National Organization Reform Marijuana Laws and the Women's Alliance for Manitoba — has operated the Canadian Medical Marijuana Clinic in this community for the past few years.
The clinic's popularity — Ridge estimates the clinic has approved about 400 applicants for medical marijuana use across the province since it opened — while congruent with changing Canadian attitudes on the drug's use and legality, is contradictory to recent legal changes made at the federal level.
On Monday, the same day the Sun published a Winnipeg Free Press story on the clinic, we posed a question on our website to our readers: How legal or illegal do you think marijuana should be? Based on that unscientific web-based opinion poll, it would seem a rather large majority of our online readers believe that marijuana should be legalized in some form or another.
Broken down, about seven per cent of the 215 voters, as of Tuesday at noon, thought pot should be legal, but only with a prescription. About 14 per cent said it should be tightly regulated and available only from the government, like vodka. A whopping 32 per cent said marijuana should be regulated and available in lots of places, much like beer and cigarettes. The remaining 15 per cent thought it should be either available over-the-counter (two per cent), available everywhere though monitored like food (five per cent), or completely unmonitored and available everywhere like air (eight per cent).
Still, a substantial minority of our online readers — 25 per cent — believed that marijuana should remain illegal, though to varying degrees. Some believed pot possession was akin to owning a nuclear bomb (11 per cent), heroin or weaponized anthrax (six per cent), while others likened it to stealing a car (seven per cent) or shoplifting (one per cent).
Granted, this was a rather tongue-in-cheek look at marijuana legalization in this community, but it does offer a signpost to changing attitudes within our community, which, interestingly, seem to reflect the collective national opinions of ordinary Canadians.
Last November, Toronto's Forum Research released a poll of 1,849 randomly selected people that suggested 65 per cent of Canadians favour either the legalization and taxation of the drug or decriminalizing it in small amounts. The same study also found that about 17 per cent believe Canada's current pot laws should remain, while another 15 per cent wanted tougher rules.
"Very few want the law to be as it is," Forum president Lorne Bozinoff told The Toronto Star. "Public opinion has been ahead of government on this issue for a while."
And yet, under the federal Conservative government, Ottawa has instead enacted harsher penalties for marijuana users by increasing possible prison time and imposing mandatory jail sentences for those who grow six or more marijuana plants.
As The Canadian Press recently reported, Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq announced last December that medical marijuana licences would no longer be granted by the government and pot would be prescribed only by doctors. Canada's 26,000 licensed medical pot users and their designates will also no longer be able to grow their own when the new laws take effect, but will have to rely on pricier government-sanctioned growers.
We understand, in part, why the Tories are trying to take a harsher stand on pot — the vast majority of the marijuana industry remains in the hands of organized crime. And no Tory worth his salt wants to be seen playing into the hands of criminals.
But as attitudes change, and calls for legalization and regulation grow louder from the Canadian public, the Conservative politics on marjiuana are increasingly falling behind the times. With the federal Liberals backing pot legalization at the party's policy convention last year and even some U.S. states moving to either decriminalize or legalize cannabis, the Tories may soon find their tough on cannabis crime stance has gone to pot.

It's a big evening for anyone who feels an affinity with, and loyalty to, the spirit of Edwards, Law, Best, Charlton, Macari, Hughes, Robson and Cantona: Yes, tonight FC United of Manchester make their debut in the Manchester Premier Cup, in a tough away tie at Nationwide North champions Droylsden. They're very much the underdogs, being three tiers below their opponents, but Droylsden's form this season hasn't been great so there's every chance of a shock. However we'll be concentrating on this tosh, as Manchester United travel to the Ukraine for yet another episode in the interminable and utterly predictable Champions League group stages.
Definitive Guardian style: In the interests of professionalism and accuracy, I've tried to find out exactly how I'm supposed to spell the name of the city Dynamo come from. According to Big Paper it's K-I-E-V, but according to Guardian Unlimited it's K-Y-I-V. Great. At least the style guide is much clearer on how to spell the name of the city United come from: S-A-L-F-O-R-D. That really was quite cheap, obvious and poor, wasn't it. Still.
Dynamo Kyiv/Kiev: Shovkovskiy, Ghioane, Gavrancic, Diakhate, Gusev, Yussuf, Nesmachniy, Correa, Bangoura, Rincon, Shatskikh.
Subs: Rybka, Belkevich, Rotan, Milevskiy, Vashchuk, El Kaddouri, Markovic.
Manchester United: Van der Sar, Brown, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Giggs, Anderson, O'Shea, Ronaldo, Tevez, Rooney.
Subs: Kuszczak, Nani, Pique, Evans, Fletcher, Simpson, Eagles.
I'm watching BBC2 and there's a woman tanking badly on Dragons Den here: She's claiming she has intellectual copyright on the numbers 8 and 2, providing they're added together, and they're painted yellow. Eh? Deborah Meaden looks as if she wants to kill her by placing the heel of her shoe on her temple and applying pressure.
BREAKING NEWS: GRAEME SOUNESS MANAGERIAL LATEST "Blimey! I can't breathe these days without somebody reporting it," emails Graeme Souness from his absolutely genuine account firstname.lastname@example.com. (See here if you want to discover the background to this riff, which you probably won't, and if you do, you probably shouldn't and need to take a good look at where your life is currently heading.) "So, for the record: no, I will not be heading to Bolton. I have ruled myself out of the running. Anyway, I wanted you (and MBM readers) to be the first to know that I have also ruled myself out of the running for manager's position at Manchester United, should it become available. Thank you for your attention."
Why I'm not on Scottish duty this evening: "I'm confused as to why you're covering what will be this bitterly boring Київ (according to my trusty Ukrainian atlas) game, instead of the likely exuberant romp between Rangers and Ronaldinho and co," worries Alex Muggah. "Perchance, were you stuck in the boot of a car when the MBM assignments were handed out this morning?" As I'm on the late shift I was safe in bed asleep this morning, Alex, curled up in the foetal position dreaming of being stuck in the boot of a car. However it made no odds; even if I was in the office when the gigs were being doled out, there's no way I would have been able to free the Rangers game from Glendenning's grasping paw. Now there's a man who loves - I mean really loves - Rangers. I should probably start talking about this game at some point, shouldn't I.
A change to the Manchester United team: Fletcher is in midfield at the expense of O'Shea, who is at left back at the expense of Evra, who is not even on the bench. That's the last time I'm lifting information wholesale from the official Uefa site.
Dragons Den update: There is a model sporting a pair of pants with a pocket for a single condom in the back. "I bet Ronaldo has a pair," suggests Alan Howarth.
All of a sudden, we're off! Which means I've missed the Champions League dirge. YES!!!!!!! Ronaldo, wearing pants without a condom pouch I'll be bound, I don't care what Alan Howarth says, scampers down the right but is bustled out of play.
2 min: Ronaldo embarks on not one but two shimmies down the left, tackled well on both occasions by Ghioane. Nothing's been carved out yet, but this is a bright start from United.
5 min: Bangoura goes haring after a witless long ball, but Ferdinand easily beats him to it. He lays the ball back to Van der Sar, who hacks clear in a blind panic under no pressure whatsoever. Calm down! Incidentally, the reason Evra isn't in the team is because he was injured in the warm-up, so it's a bit off of me to blame Uefa.com for being hopeless. Not least because I would have known this earlier had I not been watching Dragons Den. Still, you can't have everything, I'm trying to provide a comprehensive service here.
9 min: EASY GOAL!!! Dynamo Kyiv 0 - 1 Man Utd. United win a free kick out left, near the corner flag. Ronaldo's outswinging delivery is met by the head of Ferdinand, six yards out centrally and free; the big defender heads it slightly back across goal, past the static Shovkovskiy, and into the left-hand side of the net. A great goal for United, terrible defending from Kyiv though.
12 min: This is all United, as Kyiv are pathetic. Tevez ambles down the left and wins an easy corner, from which it's nearly as you were for the goal, Ferdinand winning an easy header. This time he can't get any power or direction on the ball, as this time a Kyiv defender is at least making some sort of attempt at a challenge, but this is looking ominous for the home side.
15 min: Kyiv have hardly touched the ball. Bangoura and Rincon both try to hustle and harry, but Vidic and the so-far-excellent Ferdinand are having none of it. "What time is it in Kiev?" asks Gary Naylor. "Midnight?" I dunno. "Is it like one of those Ali fights that started at 3.00am local time to avoid a clash with the Johnny Carson Show?" Now I'm all for a bit of TV nostalgia, but the Johnny Carson Show?!! What next? References to Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In and Sid Caesar's Hour?
17 min: THIS IS TOO EASY. Dynamo Kyiv 0 - 2 Man Utd. Ronaldo drives towards the box centrally, prods the ball out right to Brown, who lays a ball across the face of goal for Rooney to sidefoot home into an empty net. You'll notice I've not mentioned a single Kyiv player; there is a reason for that.
20 min: Kyiv are AWFUL. Anderson sends Ronaldo free, who in turn finds Rooney. The striker has about 37 seconds to take aim, and decides to belabour Shovkovskiy in the face for sport. The ball rebounds to Tevez, who also has ages to juggle the ball a la Le Tissier before sending another shot into the face of a Kyiv player, this time Diakhate. Meanwhile re the Dragons, Thomas Hopkins would like to pose the question "Duncan Bannatyne or Deborah Meaden: would you?"
23 min: Ghioane has a shot from 25 yards out right. It goes 25 yards left. This is poor, is what this is.
26 min: Giggs is penalised for a nothing nudge when United again looked dangerous in the Київ box. This could end up a cricket score.
29 min: Київ have held onto the ball for more than 20 seconds! Yes, they really have done it!!! By the way, typing the phrase "a la Le Tissier" on 20 minutes has given me an earworm of Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay. Coupled with the earlier unfortunate imagery of Ronaldo in his prophylactic-pocket pants, I'm finding it quite hard to concentrate.
30 min: Diakhate is booked for the most disgraceful bodycheck on Tevez, who was about to scamper clear down the inside left channel. United seem able to cut through Київ almost at will.
32 min: KIEV/KYIV/Київ SCORE!!!! FROM NOTHING!!! Dynamo Київ 1 - 2 Man Utd. From a deep corner taken from the right, Rincon heads home brilliantly back across Van der Sar and into the top-right corner from 10 yards out! That came from absolutely nowhere! "A cricket score? Surely you mean a tennis score, or are you taking a subtle dig at the recently pathetic English ODI team?" asks Mahendra Shikaripur. After Rincon's strike, I withdraw the comment unconditionally.
36 min: Actually, there's still a chance United could rattle in a few. Rooney almost immediately restores his side's two-goal advantage with a welt from wide right which Shovkovskiy does well to parry; a couple of minutes later Tevez once again nearly skins Ghioane down the left. Київ still look pretty unsteady.
39 min: O'Shea, o'dear. Rooney wriggles clear down the right and pulls the ball back from the byline to the feet of the big defender six yards out. He shifts the ball between his feet and tries a fancy flick - which rolls into Shovkovskiy's hands at speeds of up to 1mph. United are looking dangerous again.
40 min: AN EVEN EASIER GOAL!!! Dynamo Київ 1 - 3 Man Utd. This really is pathetic from Kyiv. Again there are no defenders in attendance whatsoever, as Giggs jogs down the left, insouciantly swings a cross into the centre towards Ronaldo, who is utterly unmarked and can head home powerfully from eight yards. This is over, and I don't even care if Kyiv score again, because United will simply stroll up the pitch and pop another in. It really does look that easy.
GOAL!!! Droylsden 0 - 1 FC United of Manchester. According to Mark van Spall, Cayne Hanley has scored the opener.
44 min: From a promising position deep in United territory, Yussuf passes the ball out of play for a goal kick. Kyiv are bloody awful.
Half-time: Dynamo Київ 1 - 3 Man Utd. And that's it for the first 45. United were good - no, they were better than good - but it's so hard to tell because Kyiv have been utterly dreadful. "Oh Scott, I love it when you smoke your cigarettes," many of you have written in to say. I'm hearing you loud and clear, so as I aim to please, I'll be back in a couple of minutes.
And we're off again! Will Київ join in this time? Let's see. They're running about anyway. And there's been a couple of changes for the home side: Belkevich and Milevskiy have replaced Ghioane and Shatskikh. Anyone who wants to know how the proper United are doing can, according to Phil Brown, listen to live commentary here, though it could be phoneline-style bongo, I haven't actually had time to check. On other matters United, and apropos my cheap, obvious and poor S-A-L-F-O-R-D gag in the preamble, it appears not only am I cheap, obvious and poor, I am also wrong. "United don't come from the City of Salford," writes John Caley, typing with one hand while wagging a finger furiously on the other, "nor do they come from the City of Manchester. In fact they don't come from a city at all. They are just a small town club from the town of Stretford, which is in the Borough of Trafford."
47 min: Anderson nearly releases Giggs down the right with a majestic diagonal pass, but he overcooks it a tad too much and it skips out of play.
48 min: Gusev takes a rasping shot from 25 yards out right. It fizzes wide left and over, but at least it's positive. Or is it desperate? So hard to tell.
49 min: Rooney finds space in the left-hand side of the box and rolls the ball back to Tevez, who scoops a cross over to Anderson; the resulting sidefooted shot clips the bottom of the right-hand post and bounces off to safety. Again, no home defenders appear to be bothered, or indeed appear to be stationed in the same postal district. This is one of the poorest defensive displays I've seen for a long, long time, and I watched Inverness Caledonian Thistle showcase some slapstick comedy cuts this weekend against Aberdeen, so.
52 min: That's a bit better from Kiev, in an attacking sense at least; Yussuf whips in a cross from the right which skims off Rincon's head and oh-so-nearly nestles in the top-left corner. It's just over though.
53 min: Tevez and Rooney both take wallops towards goal. Shovkovskiy does brilliantly to parry twice; if there's one Kiev player earning his corn, it's him. Still, if United don't score at least two more, I'll be very surprised.
56 min: Great play from Bangoura, who shimmies Ronaldo style along the face of the United box and flicks a ball out left to Rincon; Bangoura nips into the middle for the return ball... which doesn't come, Ferdinand sliding in brilliantly to block the cross. If Rincon had managed to find his team-mate, that would surely have been a totally undeserved and flattering 2-3 scoreline.
58 min: Correa hoofs a free kick low and hard from 35 yards out; it only just misses Van der Sar's right-hand post. Signs of life from Kyiv at last!
60 min: Київ win three corners in a row - but it's United who nearly score, Vidic heading the third powerfully away, Fletcher flicking on, then Ronaldo tearing clear and finding Giggs in the centre; the veteran winger shifts the ball left and takes a shot on goal which is scrambled away.
62 min: That should have been a penalty to Kiev, and a red card to Vidic, who stumbles while battling with Milevskiy in the United box as they chase a through ball, and falls on the Kiev player's legs, bringing him crashing down. Strangely, the decision is a foul the other way.
65 min: Київ, so awful for most of this match, are finally making a decent fist of it. Rincon is nearly sent clear after some clowning from O'Shea, who takes a fresh-air swipe at a high ball, then heads weakly back towards his own goal. The striker looks like fashioning a shot on target - but once again Ferdinand is the hero, as he bustles the ball away.
67 min: A VERY SOFT PENALTY TO MANCHESTER UNITED! Tevez swings a cross into the box which hits Gavrancic's elbow as the defender faces the other way. First the referee gives a free kick as the hand ball, such as it is, looked to have been outside the box - but the linesman intervenes and a spot kick is awarded.
68 min: GOAL!!! Dynamo Київ 1 - 4 Man Utd. And it's one which Ronaldo slots into the bottom left-hand corner calmly. That's that for sure, if anyone was really ever in doubt.
GOAL!!! Droylsden 0 - 2 FC United of Manchester. An Aaron Burns screamer! Some would say a wonder goal. Some have, in fact; that someone being Chris Day. I'll believe anything.
GOAL!!! Droylsden 0 - 3 FC United of Manchester. And another! Rory Patterson this time. This is a shock result alright and no mistake, a proper piece of giantkilling.
71 min: Tevez is replaced by Nani.
73 min: See 44 mins. Every word stands.
74 min: Wonderful sweeping football from Manchester United, Nani rolling the ball out left to Giggs, who sends it trundling to Ronaldo in the centre circle, who edges it out right to Rooney, who powers into the box... then jiggers it by hoofing it witlessly at the shins of Gavrancic. Still, it was good while it lasted.
77 min: Ronaldo nearly scores from a clever flick: he slides the ball out left to Nani, runs into the middle of the box and, upon getting the ball back, flicks it up and over the head of Diakhate. He can't quite get to his own pass, though, as Shovkovskiy comes out to claim. Nice idea, though.
78 min: THIS IS GETTING SILLY NOW. Dynamo Київ 2 - 4 Man Utd. Bangoura picks the ball up in the inside left channel, switches the ball between his feet, and unleashes a low ripper towards the bottom left corner which Van der Sar can't reach.
79 min: Van der Sar is replaced by Kuszczak - though any injury seemed to play no part in that goal, as the keeper got down quickly enough (well, obviously not quickly enough, but you know what I mean) - while Giggs goes off to be replaced by Danny Simpson.
GOAL!!! Droylsden 1 - 3 FC United of Manchester. Not sure of the scorer, though I can tell you, thanks to Andrew Carson, that FCUM have had five players booked.
83 min: Correa is replaced by Rotan. Then Bangoura tries a long looping shot from outside the area which Kuszczak does well to snaffle up.
85 min: This is over. Anderson and Simpson take turns to execute a few fancy spins hither and yon down the left. Now that's just showing off. "If you're still interested your spelling question, Kiev is the transliteration from the Russian (Киев), Kyiv is from the Ukrainian," writes Simon Carnegie. "Kyiv the spelling of choice in Ukraine in these post-Soviet days. Looks like the paper needs to catch up." Well, you say that, but at least they're consistent. I've used about 43 different spellings tonight, in scripts various.
86 min: Now Nani fannies about in the Київ - sorry, Киев - area. His saucy stylings nearly end in a goal as he wriggles free, but Shovkovskiy does well to race out and claim at his feet.
90 min: There are going to be three extra minutes of this. "Oh, Scott, I love it when you smoke your cigarettes!" writes Reggie Rhinestone. "Love it!" You're sorely tempting me to jump the gun.
90 min +1: I mean, I could go, couldn't I? This is over, after all.
90 min +2: United are just flicking it around static Киев players with ill-disguised contempt. Киев are useless.
FULL TIME: Dynamo Киев 2 - 4 Man Utd. And that's it. Difficult to say how good United were, because their opponents were so poor, but you can only beat what's put in front of etc, so well done to Manchester United. Now down to proper business: what's going on at the Butchers Arms Ground, Droylsden?
89 min: GOAL!!! Droylsden 2 - 3 FC United of Manchester. A late penalty ensures a nailbiting climax - there will be three minutes of injury time.
FULL TIME: Droylsden 2 - 3 FC United of Manchester. And that's it. Well done to FC United of Manchester, who advance to the next round of the Manchester Premier Cup at the expense of last season's Nationwide North champions Droylsden. Anyway, thanks for all your emails, and for not responding to Thomas Hopkins's "Bannatyne or Meaden: would you?" question, which in retrospect would have been a riff too far.
