Tatsuki's life was over.
Once upon a time, he could float. He could fly. He did three-pointer shots like it was throwing trash into a bin. He relayed like it was a brisk morning walk. Swimming was closer to flying than it was in being an airplane. His school loved him. Scholarships poured from the heavens, eagerly awaiting the day Tatsuki would enter university.
Then his friends were driving him home one night after a small party. They didn't even drink alcohol, but for some reason a truck suddenly came flying out of nowhere.
When he woke up, they "broke it very gently" to him that he was now lacking his left eye, that he would be limping for the rest of his life, and that he shouldn't be doing any activities that would force him to breath harder, given his condition. But hey, on the upside, it was a miracle he was able to even walk at all.
Tatsuki thought maybe he shouldn't have woken up at all. Now here he was, half-blindedly dragging this hundred pound sack of scarred flesh that was his body, with a cane when once upon a time, Tatsuki could clearly remember when he fucking flew.
The scholarships left him. His school went from worshiping him to pitying him. He couldn't bear going to school anymore. Who cares about graduating, when there's nothing for him left after that? He couldn't even bear looking at his parents, who had such high hopes for him, and whom he failed immediately by merely going to a party.
And after months, it seemed like the only person left who was allowed to enter Tatsuki's room, a darkened cage for a crippled animal, was his little sister.
"Onii...?" Matoko peered out from behind the door.
"Yes?" The beast in the dark shadows of the room answered wearily.
"Can we go get ice-cream?"
"Anything for my sister."
Tatsuki put on his eye patch and grabbed his sterile stainless steel cane and hobbled his pitiful ass out after his sister. He just wanted to puke at the sight of passerbys looking at his sister attached to his arm. He couldn't tell if they were gushing at her cute features or at the fact she was looking after that stupid, crippled, slow, useless, thing that was her older brother.
Tatsuki looked up into the sky, wearily.
You, up there. Are you fair? Do you care? Was it a miracle that I should have even lived? Why should I still be, here, huh? Give me one good reason why I should still be here?
And on that spring day, something white landed on Tatsuki's face.
"It's pretty!"
"It's just a wedding veil, Matoko."
"Where do you think it came from?"
"I don't care. The winds probably picked it up from some downtown wedding."
"But it dropped from the sky! Like, really high up!"
"Maybe it came from really far away! Like kilometers away, across the mountains and the seas!"
"Matoko, this thing is practically new. This thing couldn't have gone further than the other side of the city, and that's if you're lucky."
"But... but-"
"Matoko, can you really believe that some wind could have continually carried this same veil from where ever it came from all the way to here? Without touching the ground? For kilometers? And avoiding the weather?"
"Well... it can happen! There are such things as miracles, you know!"
"Matoko... the reason they're called miracles is because they never happen. Whatever, we don't need to keep this anyways."
"Onii! Don't!"
"Why? It's not like we need it."
"But... it belongs to someone..."
"You can buy this for a few thousand, Matoko. It's that cheap. Whoever got this won't miss it."
"Don't get rid of it!"
"Then what!? What am I supposed to do with it!"
"...If you don't want it, then promise me you'll return it!"
"I don't have time for this."
"But you don't do anything anyways!"
"Pinky promise!"
"Matoko, what am I? A kid?"
"But I want you to really try to find it..."
"Fine! It's pinky promised! Now get out of my room!"
And for the whole week, even Tatsuki wasn't at peace in his dark room, while that pure pearl white sheet laid on his desk amidst the shadows. He glowered at it, and hated it. Even a goddamn thousand yen piece of cloth looked better than him, and it was like the universe wasn't done mocking how pathetic he was now. He was tempted to destroy it, to burn it away, but it appeared his faith to that stupid pinky promise bound his spirit stronger than he realized.
On Sunday morning, he couldn't stand being in the presence of the wedding veil any longer.
"I'm going out." He said to the woman he failed to be a meaningful son to.
"Tatsuki, where are you going-"
Tatsuki hobbled about the city, irritated at his own slowness as he baked under the sun that was losing it's pleasant spring warmth for sheer blistering heat. By the time he reached the first place that sold and fitted for wedding dresses, his face was puffing red from effort and he was more embarrassed at how pitiful he looked than he was for entering the establishment.
"I was just wondering, did you ever sell a dress which had a veil of this design? I... promised someone that I would return this to its rightful owner."
"Let me see..." The woman murmured to herself as she inspected the cloth, and Tatsuki was curious if the woman was saying it to remind herself to look at the veil and not at his ugliness.
"This is most peculiar, sir."
"Sir, this style of pattern is not adopted by our company."
"You see? This exclusive detailing on the hemming? We don't have a veil of that design."
"So... do you know any other... wedding shops in the city that may possibly use this design?"
"Well... I can give you an address..."
The cashier offered a business card with both hands. Tatsuki knew it was proper that he accepted it with both of his as well, but his sole ability to stand remained in the cane he whitely gripped. What was left of his pride refused to allow him to embarrassedly apologize or explain his condition, and he wordlessly snatched the paper from the woman's hand and limped out of the store with it and the veil in tow, wishing to be gone from her sight, all people's sight as soon as possible.
And so he went to the next shop, and they didn't also didn't sell that sort of design either, though they knew the address of somebody else Tatsuki could try and pathetically hobble his way half-way across the city to, just because of some stupid pinky-promise.
And from one wedding fitters to the next, spitefully ignoring the rumors and gossip that began to build up around him, while he carried the wedding veil with him whenever he went out. For those months where spring passed into summer, Tatsuki scoured every inch of the city to find who owned that stupid veil.
Apparently, nobody in the city did.
Tatsuki had been spending months searching everywhere, past the immediate reaches of the city to the homes beyond, asking if they owned this wedding veil. Nobody ever recalled losing a wedding veil like that. Theirs was tucked away in the basement or attic, if you would like to see.
The wedding veil remained on Tatsuki's desk.
As the summer heat ebbed away to let red leaves fall from trees, Tatsuki's anger burned itself out into a mere bitterness. He was tired of being angry, but that sickened gall that remained in the pit of his stomach still remained, continually reminding him of the dead end he had been placed in, while others were allowed to move on. Still, Tatsuki found some weak solace and purpose in trying to find the rightful owner of that white cloth he had unexpectedly come into possession of. Not quite peace, but it was a goal he definitely preferred over that shadowed ghost of his past that was high school.
His family began to get worried about the amount of effort Tatsuki was spending on this 'project' of his. All day he walked and questioned, all night he searched the Internet for the brand that use this oh so peculiar hem design. Even his own sister came in, nervous.
"Onii?What's going on? You're always out..."
"I'm just keeping your promise."
"This veil."
"But you don't have to go so far for me..."
"It's not just for you, Matoko. I want to do this, myself. I just feel... more sure of myself doing this."
"...Don't work too hard, Onii. You need to go to school, too."
"I'll try not too."
As the door closed, something passed through the printer. Tatsuki picked it up and read. The hem design was a perfect match with one a company used, one that was based in Osaka. If he wanted to keep on going, Tatsuki had to leave the city.
He had little qualms with that idea.
At three 'o' clock in the morning, Tatsuki's household was lacking one, replace with a mere letter of explanation and apology.
The wedding veil was gone, too.
Days later, in Osaka prefecture, a boy limped from one wedding shop to the next, asking if they sold this veil, and if so, to who. Thirty three cities to go, and Tatsuki had all the time in the world to waste away on this strange endeavor.
Winter was in full force when a haggard and limping boy boarded the train to Murigochi. It looked like his current journey was about to come to a close in this city. All that was left for his travels were used up for the fare. He was left alone for the most part, other train goers somewhat nervous and put off by his scraggly, dirty, scarred and eye-patched face, the other eye half-lidded with weariness, dressed in a tired coat that was wearing out at the seams, and in his grasp a scratched stainless steel cane whose rubber tip looked ready to fall apart. What stood out more than his appearance was the sheer white wedding veil that was comfortably draped across his stomach like a blanket. For all the travels it looked like this figure had gone through, the veil seemed to have not lost its fresh luster and cleanliness from since the day it had been bought.
Asking around let him find out that given the size of the city, there really was only one place the did fittings for wedding dresses. He almost wished that there were more shops for him to query, given that this would be the last city he would be exploring, but it looked like he would going out with a whimper, than a bang.
"Excuse me. I was just wondering if you ever sold a dress that came with a veil like this."
"Hmm... sorry, can't say I have."
"Oh. Sorry for taking your time."
"Actually, though, you remind me of something interesting that happened last winter."
"Yeah. I remember this guy that came in once, asked how much it was for a dress, and of course I told him more than whatever he had or could make at the moment, that's for sure. He's in high school, you see."
"Well, he just asked how much it was for the veil then. Which, of course, in that case wasn't actually very much. Come to think of it, the one you have actually looks a lot like the one he bought."
"How much alike? As in the same one?"
"Well, I find it hard to believe that after a whole year, some other guy could walk into the same store with the same veil, but yeah, I might believe this was the same one if I tried..."
"...Do you know the name of this person you sold it to?"
"I didn't ask his name, but if you're really looking for him, all I can really say is that he's about your age, average looking, and it didn't look like he was buying that veil for his girlfriend."
He wandered through the shopping arcade, he wandered through the rows of houses, through the park, past the large fountain, about the train station. Everywhere.
Bundling himself up, he felt colder than before, and he looked up into the sky to see what was up. Somehow it was night already. But would that really mean anything? There was no place to stay, there wasn't even money for a hotel. He wasn't even sure if he had pocket change. It was the end of the journey, he didn't mind freezing to death on a bench.
No. He was in this city. Somewhere in this city, he had to return something to him. So he had to keep walking until all population on the earth was missing from the streets, replaced by their glowing counterparts that were now awake in the sky.
He sat down on a bench under a pale street light and idly entertained himself by watching his own breath leave his body in ghostly clouds. So close, yet so far. Now just another dead end upon dead ends.
"Excuse me, are you lost?"
His attention turned to the young woman that stood in front of him, full, beautiful, chestnut brown hair, the works, glowing in the light under the street lamp. He was somewhat annoyed by how pretty she was.
Lost? I sure feel lost. But then again, something's only lost when someone is looking for it. What does that say for me, huh? Do I deserve to be found? "Not really."
"Then... are you waiting for someone?"
"Not really."
The woman was quiet, but it seemed she couldn't leave him yet, her face showing she was thinking something over, as she looked over his worn body and soul.
"...Do you have a place to stay?"
"Not really."
"Not even a hotel?"
He gave the woman a dark look, reaching into the pockets of his coat and turning them out in a physical gesture of 'You think?'
"Then where are you going to stay?" She asked, concerned.
"This bench if fine. I've done it enough times."
"You can't stay out here in the middle of winter! You could freeze to death!"
He simply looked at her apathetically, that he didn't care about that factor, didn't really think about it, and had nothing better to do than deal with it, since he was after all, quite substantially lacking in the housing department-
"I know! You can stay at my place tonight!"
"...You're asking a complete stranger you met in just five seconds to stay at your place? Are you insane?"
"Well, you're insane for wanting to stay out here, so we're even!"
With that, she cheerfully grabbed for one of his arms, and he found himself grunting and meekly following-hobbling after the woman, since yes, having a warm room was infinitely better than skirting death outside, and no, he even if was a complete stranger, he apparently hadn't lost enough of his morality to go taking advantage of every good Samaritan he came across.
"By the way, I'm Sawatari Makoto, nice to meet you! You are?"
"Nobody in particular."
They continued on, until he found himself being helped up a flight of stairs to a door.
"Well, Mr. Nobody, here we are."
With a turn of a lock, he followed Makoto into a average sized whitewashed room, complimented by as much colored furniture and a little fluffy carpet that was made out of fur of an arctic fox that never really existed.
"Sawatari, I really don't think I should be here-"
"Just make yourself at home, Nobody! Shoes off, coat off. I'm sure there's enough brisket leftover to eat again... want some?"
He didn't really want to take any more advantage or freebies from the woman, but his resistance broke down quickly, as he swallowed rather loudly in affirmation, suddenly remember that the last actual meal was yesterday night's dinner.
"Just sit down. I can handle it."
He sat, then he ate. Silently wolfing down food without care until all that was left was an embarrassed silence as drank out of a cup of green tea to save himself from having to speak with this woman who plucked him off the street on a whim. What were the odds of something like that happening? Probably something short of miraculous
The hell was going on around here?
"You are entirely too kind for letting me stay here tonight."
"Well, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I just let someone as young as you sit out to freeze to death, though I'm sorry to say that this is only a temporary solution. The job I have at the moment won't be able to support two people for that long."
"You make it sound like I'm a parasite single or something..." he deadpanned, only to be met with laughter. His face eventually broke down as he realized how stupid he declaration did sounds, and his joined hers soon enough. It felt good to laugh. It had been a long time since he felt the need to. As the joyous cackles broke down with time, Makoto asked.
"So, I'm guessing that you're new in town or something. Any particular reason, or is it Nothing Really as usual?"
He gave a wane smirk and simply replied, "Just trying to find somebody."
"Don't know. I just think he needs this returned to him."
He produced the white sheet. Makoto held it.
"It's beautiful. Where did you get this?"
"It's a long story."
"I don't mind."
"Try me."
With the night in no hurry to finish, Nobody told her of everything that happened for the past year.
"You ran away from home just to find out who owned this and return it to him?"
"It's all I really can bring myself to do. I can't explain. It's a really stupid story, isn't it? Bet you want to call the cops on me or something."
She shook her head, "I think you're doing something you feel is important for yourself. I don't know every detail, but looking at those scar at your body, and how hard it is to move your body at your age. It must be hard for you..."
"It is..." He lamely admitted.
"You remind me of someone I know. He also came to me accidentally when he was having a hard time."
"But you know what, I think like him, you'll be fine. Come to think of it, you'll be staying in this city for a while, right?"
"As long as it takes to find whoever this belongs to."
"Well, he's staying at his aunt's place, the Minases. They always have a room to spare. I'm sure if you go see them, you'll have a place to stay."
"Is it just me, or are you people here a little too charitable for your own good?"
"Just us. We were next door neighbors. Give it a try! Go there tomorrow and tell them I sent you."
"Nothing to lose..." He shrugged. After that, it was the issue of who was sleeping where. Makoto insisted on letting Nobody use the bed, but he said that he rather preferred the floor, being used to it for months, and even being hardwood, it was more than comfortable compared to the outdoors he sometimes winged it on. Plus, he had enough kindness from, heaven forbid a keep a woman from sleeping in a proper bed, too. He eventually lucked out.
The next morning, he found himself in the empty room, like Makoto was never there, save a note telling him to leave the key in the mailbox when he left, something in the fridge if he was hungry, along with some basic directions toward the Minases.
Cane in hand, he quietly made his way through the city that yawned with the morning, with cars soon filling the snow swept roads, students passing him with looks of every kind, until he was deep in streets laden with houses laden with snow.
He found himself looking through the metal gates of one house, "Minase" spelled out beside it.
He had to admit, this idea was turning more and more absurdly retarded as he spent more minutes thinking about it. All of a sudden he was going to barge into this woman's house asking if he'd like a room, sorry no money, I'm just relying on the goodness of your own heart I heard someone tell me about.
"Did you want something?"
A woman was beside him all of a sudden, clad in a heavy coat, shovel in hand.
"Are you... Mrs. Minase?"
"Yes. Do you want something? I noticed you were standing in front of my house for a while..."
He measured his options and noticed nearly all of them sounded stupid. Oh well.
"I... was told you might be willing to lend a room for me to stay in." He managed to bite out. Come on, who the hell in their right mind just lends out rooms to the first person who asks?
"That's nice. Would you like to come inside to talk more about it?"
"Um... sure."
The home was clean and uncluttered, but only as a testament to the wonderful upkeep Mrs. Minase had put into home, rather than a sense neglect. The woman didn't have any immediate issues concerning his staying over, for god knows how long. Apparently, she was used to having free-loaders, and it made him feel that much guiltier, inexplicably. She didn't even ask a question about why he was here.
Then all of a sudden, while he waited for nothing to happen while he drank his cup of tea, Mrs. Minase appeared with a small bag.
"Would it be alright if you helped me get the ingredients for tonight's dinner? I'm hoping to make some Taiyaki for desert, since I'm having a family friend over..."
He snorted, while drawing his arms along the his body sarcastically.
"I don't see what somebody like me can do, as you can see."
"Oh, why's that?" She gently responded. He didn't get it.
"...Are you making fun of me? I'm a hobbling, one-eyed... I can't even walk for thirty minutes without losing breath, I can't even stand without cane... I'm useless, alright?!"
Sour silence, before Mrs. Minase gently responded.
"I don't see what that has to do with carrying some bags around. I understand if you're still tired from walking across town, and want to stay here, but it would have been simpler if you said that. I don't mind you staying here, since I can get them myself, but it would be nice if you came."
With that, she walked off cheerfully, and he couldn't do anything but sigh and pick himself up from the couch.
"Wait! I'll come."
And so he trailed after her like a crippled puppy, carrying one bag in his free hand.
"I think that's all we need. Let's go back. I think you'll like my daughter and nephew, as well as Ayu."
"...Yes, Mrs. Minase."
"You can just call me Akiko. By the way, you never gave your name."
"I'm just a nobody."
They walked for a little while longer, until the shopping district began to lag away at their heels. Then Akiko spoke again.
"Tell me, how long have you run away from your home?"
"W-what!? How did you..."
"You should be in school, you know. Not the mention your clothing..."
"...I disappeared a few months ago..."
"Did it have something to do with the way you are now?"
"Sort of... I'm here for many reasons. You're going to call the police aren't you?"
"...Excuse me?"
Akiko turned around with a smile that he couldn't decipher, as genuinely kind as it was, "Maybe I'm just being silly, but I don't think you're a bad person. You just need... time to sort out whatever reason brought you all the way here. You'll return home when the time is right. Until then, you can stay at my place."
He wasn't really sure what he could say to something like that. He just stared in disbelief until his mouth worked properly.
"I... uh... I... I... thanks."
"No need. Let's get back. You can help me prepare dinner."
"...I did tell you I need to hold onto my cane if I need to stand."
"I'll get you a chair then."
That was how he found himself sitting in front of the dining table mashing red beans into a paste.
"Akiko-san, we're back. Ayu's here, too." Came a man's greeting, backed by those of two girls as well.
This will not end well... in a good way.
Akiko's splitting, younger image entered the dining room cheerily for the whole of two seconds before she noticed a "scary-looking scarred guy at the table" as she reported back to the front door terrified. In the following moments, a particularly... undescriptive fellow rushed into the room, before glaring at him.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Akiko's letting me stay here."
"First name basis?"
"She insisted."
"I don't believe you."
"You could just ask her."
That was how he found himself listening to a heated debate in the living room down the hall between Akiko and Mr. Mopey.
"But he's a complete stranger!"
"So was she."
"That... that's completely different! Look at him! He's a runaway! He could just as easily steal from here!"
"He won't do anything like that."
"And you're sure because...?"
"Women's intuition?"
After that, he was quickly introduced to the initially wary but quickly hospitable Nayuki, the rightfully paranoid Yuuichi, and the excitable Ayu, who's movements were mainly narrowed to being carried about by Yuuichi (whatever that implied), and using her upper body. Apparently her legs had gone through atrophy, and she was still going through the ropes to start walking about again.
Lucky her.
"Just get this straight. I've got my eye on you." Yuuichi blandly intoned.
"Fair enough." He responded.
Then night came, and all went to bed, even Ayu staying over. Apparently this wasn't anything new.
He couldn't sleep though. He just wasn't into it. He stayed behind on the sofa long after everyone turned in, watching late-night dramas as the hours rolled from tens back to ones.
Eventually, he had a notion that he was in fact still hungry. That was no more worse for wear. The fridge was only a short pace away. It was in the yellow ray of fridge light that he found a voice snorting at his rummaging.
"Yo, suspicious person. Shouldn't you be looking for the silverware?"
He gave a dry laugh in retort to Yuuichi, "Sorry to not meet your expectations. Hungry?" He raised some unidentifiable object wrapped in plastic.
"No thanks."
They moved away from the the fridge light back to the one cast off by television serials.
"I still want to know what a person like you is doing here."
He turned his head away, eyes not bothering to meet Yuuichi's for the simple truth: "You probably wouldn't believe me anyways."
"Try me."
It's Miss Sawatari all over again.
"I'm trying to return something to somebody I never met, and don't know who."
"You're right. That's a pretty lame story."
"So, what's this something you feel so compelled to return?"
He reached for his pocket, searching for the folded material within, the one that never dulled.
Yuuichi's eyes, as he looked at the veil, slowly moved from narrowed in skepticism, to askew in nostalgia, until they were both shining shocked white, confounded.
"...Where did you get that?"
It was there, he realized that Yuuichi, now come to think of it, did look rather his age, and average looking.
He gave a rueful smile, "It literally dropped on my face. Then this belongs to you?"
"I... I didn't think I'd ever see it again... and you somehow managed to come all the way here?"
"A lot of it was just trial and error, though somebody pointed this house out."
"Some girl named Sawatari Makoto."
Yuuichi's face paled for just the slightest second before re-collecting himself, "Oh yes. Her. Strange..."
"You believe in miracles?"
He shrugged, "Do you?"
Yuuichi smirked, "I think this qualifies for one."
"Not much a miracle, if you ask me."
"A miracle doesn't have to be much to be one, you know. For something like this veil to return here, despite the odds, or the logic... can't you call that a miracle?"
"A miracle..."
He sighed aloud, not actually meaning to, but unable to stop. Damage done. All that was left were the words in his mouth.
"You know, it's been nearly a whole year since I was left disabled like this. Everybody was either pitying me or obviously trying not to pay attention, and I hated all of it. I hated myself the most, hating what I became and complaining about it. You know I was a star athlete at my school?"
"Yeah. I was so sick and tired of it all I didn't believe there was anything left for me. Then this stupid veil came out of nowhere, and somehow this thought came into my head, 'If I can't do anything else, at least the last thing I can do is return this thing'. At the end of my journey, I find myself in group of people who are so kind... is that a miracle?"
"Yeah, definitely."
He shivered a little. He wondered if it was from the cold. As he recollected himself with a loud sniff, he asked.
"Why is that veil so important anyways?"
"This? It belongs to someone very important."
Yuuichi gave a smart look, "It's a long, complicated story."
"Try me."
"...Her name was Makoto..."
The sun fell over the earth again and again, snow showering atop man, and sunlight showering atop that, time and again. Eventually there was more sun that snow, then all a sudden, the ice melted away to water, which feed the soil, and gave rise to grass in the ground and the leaves in the tree like it had last year.
By a train station, a small family stood by to wave a temporary farewell to their latest member, about to board a train home.
"Are you sure you can't stay a little longer, Ta-kun?"
Tatsuki helplessly shrugged, raising one hand, while another held fast to a beautiful carved wood cane he received as a gift.
"Sorry Nayuki, but I already told my parents I was coming back. Besides I have to catch up with schoolwork... blegh."
"Well, that's what you get for skipping classes!"
"Yeah, whatever Ayu. This coming from somebody who hadn't been to school in seven years."
"Joking! Joking! Get better soon."
"We can take walks together, right?"
"Sure. Thank you for letting me stay at your home so long, Miss Minase."
"There's no need. You're welcome here anytime."
After Tatsuki returned the gracious bow, he gave one final look to the other male in the group.
"Aizawa... Yuuichi."
"...You need a nickname."
"Seriously. Your name is a mouthful. Ai-za-wa-Yu-i-chi. It's like a tongue twister."
"It's perfectly fine!"
"Yuuichi-kun... it does seem rather long, come to think of it?"
"Don't take his side!"
"But it's true!"
"Not you too, Ayu! What about you? Tsukimiya Ayu? That's the same number of syllables!"
"That's not the same, Yuuichi. Her first name is only two syllables, so it's no trouble."
"And her last name?"
"...I'm sure people only formally acquainted with her will work it out fine, but your name is insane."
"Then what would you suggest, Mr. Nameless For The First Month?"
"What sort of nickname is that!?"
"I dunno. Just the first thing that came to my mind. A lot simpler that Yuuichi anyways. Right, Miss Minase?"
"It does have this interesting charm to it... maybe I should start calling you Kyon from now on?"
"Please no..."
On a bright morning, a boy left town, a smile on his face as he saw himself take a train towards the unknown horizon.
In a house, a folded wedding veil came undone, the wind threatening to pull it towards an open window, into the bright spring sky it loved so much.

Time and time again, we find ourselves in a position where we are forced to do whatever it takes in order to get what we want. That's because we always want to try and get the best deal for our money. For example, when purchasing an automobile, we find ourselves negotiating with the sales person to try and get as much as we can for our old vehicle on the trade-in so that we can get a better deal on the vehicle we want to purchase. What we are really doing is activating our faith because we know we are going to come to an agreement with the sales person if a sale is to be made.
One of the first things you learn about wireless or cellular phones is that you can purchase a cellular phone and pay various prices for your phone based on your personal desires needs and wants. However, if you never get that phone activated, the purpose for which you bought the phone will be meaningless. The phone must be activated in order for you to get your full utilization of the unit. In much the same way, my testimonies not only tell about our knowledge of faith, but it shows how we trusted God and activated our faith.

T. J. Smith was educated in the United States and England. He currently serves as a proud member of the board of directors for a large homeless shelter in the greater Atlanta area. He is a man of faith and has entered into a phase of his life where he loves to write, teach, and inspire others based on his own experiences.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
This is so huge, you can't believe it! I don't think I've ever finished it due to its size and the number of vendors. There are probably over 1000, to be honest. And each one is very unique. You'll see everything from vintage clothing to tools, furniture jewelry, plants, European items, Asian items, Native American, Africa, textiles and beads from Eastern parts of the world, and so on. It's a tremendous place to shop. Just bring your walking shoes for sure. The one drawback is lack of seating for when you finally take a snack/lunch break! I suppose if I went before 9 a.m. when the entrance price is higher than $5, I'd see the whole thing, but my feet still wouldn't survive! It's still worth going to. Store up your money and have some fun. There's an ATM just outside the entrance gate too. Some vendors take credit cards. I typically pay with cash. Getting in on a nice sunny morning is a chore due to the traffic. Same thing for when you leave. It'll take what seems to be a lifetime just getting onto Webster Street in Alameda so you can get back onto 880 and head home. By then you're totally pooped! But you'll have so many neat goodies to enjoy once you get there!
the best pub for micro brews and IPA'S add the fact they have live music every night with no cover charge and you have a great place for nights out or just to drop by for a beer
No frills dance club enjoyment.
Great sound system, friendly staff, strong drinks and diverse crowd!
When I first passed this place I was drawn inside by an overwhelming fragrance of cinnamon. I was able to create my own cinnamon roll with decadent caramel frosting and then topped with chocolate chips and cookie dough... Wonderfully "CINNFULL"! I go back all the time now. You should go!
I love Gather! I would go back in a heartbeat.
B restaurant a gem in Old Oakland. I went with a few friends and we ordered a bunch of things to share. The food is quite amazing, the focaccia and truffle fries are a must as a starter and their pizza's are perfect. I had the yummy pork chop on the menu and it was delicious! I enjoyed a couple specialty cocktails that were fresh and tasty, the one that comes to mind is the Love on which was fruity and fabulous without being too sweet, it had a perfect balance of flavors. The space itself feels comfortable yet refined, it has an open feel with large windows looking out to charming Old Oakland. I'm absolutely looking forward to coming back again and again!
I live in L.A. but when i come up north to visit my best friend in San Lorenzo i have to come here to get books and other things i need. I LOVE this place and everyone is very friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable!
I don't believe in God, but I believe in Tony Serra.
The Grand Lake Theater is a gem, a historical beauty with comfortable seats, a large lobby, an amazingly generous owner with a social conscience who donates the theater for important benefits, events, to save the country, the world.
Great service, quality products with reasonable pricing, beautiful atmosphere... what more could one ask for?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! A reg for me!
The staff is great and everything is made on the premises except a few minor things, if that. Mostly organic and the food is incredible!!!! GO THERE!!!
I take everyone there who visits, they all love it. Even the meat eaters in the fam.
I bought a coupon for this place. We went here before heading downtown.
\As soon as we walked in, the staff was right there with smiles and welcoming arms. They are very knowledgeable and very quick to satisfy. Best of all I can watch them make my food. The food was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
This place is mostly organic and very vegan friendly!!! Regular stop for me!!
Iron Horse Nutrition is the Tri-Valley's best place to shop for sports and nutritional supplements. They have a friendly and knowledgeable staff, and are the only supplement store in the area to have a certified nutritionist on staff. They also offer four new tanning beds that clean, convenient and competitively priced.
Ate here last night. Food was wonderful. Had the Ahi appetizer and the polenta cakes and the fish stew. All were outstanding. Also topped it off with a great chocolate chip bread pudding.
Pricing was very reasonable. We'll be back.
We LOVE this place. The food is fresh, and goes beyond the standard Mexican-American fare (though not by too much). The place is usually crowded, if not packed, even though it's huge. They also do take-out, and it's usually the first place we think of when we want to bring something home. It's also moderately priced. This has been our favorite restaurant for many years, and will probably stay that way for many years to come.
I'm giving Betty 5 stars. You know why? Because they only make a couple things but every one of them is delicious and they don't F around one bit. You walk in, order and BOOM you are stuffing your face with something amazing involving chicken.
There is no place to sit inside. You wanna sit, you sit on a stool next to an ironing board on the sidewalk outside. I don't think they have a bathroom and I don't even know if they have a trashcan, BUT, they have AWESOME FRIED CHICKEN and that is why you go there! Get you some fried chicken. Fried chicken pieces of the chicken sandwich and have a cookie and a lemonade. Or get a take-n-bake chicken pot pie and go home and be amazed.
There's no sign. It's nothing fancy. But, it will make you happy and full.

It is always interesting to see what surplus military hardware ends up on the private market. While browsing aircraft classified ads I came across this mint condition, swing-wing Tornado F2A fighter-interceptor for sale. I have never seen one of these beauties on the market, so I had to contact the seller to get the low-down.
The exact Tornado F2A for sale pictured while still flying for the Royal Air Force (image credit Steve Kilvington).
First off, a little background. Generally speaking, the Panavia Tornado was built in three primary variants. The IDS model was optimized for interdiction and strike. the ADV model is an air defense variant filling the role of a medium-range interceptor-fighter. The third variant is the ECR which fills the suppression of enemy air defenses role primarily.
The aircraft for sale is a unique version of the ADV fighter-interceptor variant, called the F2A. This designation denotes that it has the primary configuration of the F2 but it is a unique testbed aircraft.
A Tornado ADV bristling with weaponry and external fuel tanks.
Operational Tornado ADVs would carry four Skyflash or AIM-120 AMRAAM beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles and four AIM-9 Sidewinders or AIM-132 ASRAAM short-range air-to-air missiles, as well as a 27mm cannon with 180 rounds. External tanks were also carried on their rotating wing pylons.
The ADV variant of the Tornado was introduced into service in 1985 and saw service with Italy, Saudi Arabia and the UK. A total of 218 examples were built. Although the IDS and ECR variant remain in service with multiple air arms, the Royal Air Force retired the final operational examples of the ADV variant in 2011, with the Eurofighter Typhoon taking over their air defense role.
The Tornado F2A for sale with its long snout that could house the AI.24 Foxhunter radar, although this particular aircraft was also used to test the Sea Harrier's Blue Vixen radar.
Although the Tornado was not known to be highly competitive as a close-in fighter, it had a big radar aperture and long-legs, and it could dash at supersonic speeds fairly efficiently due to its swing-wing design. In all, the jet for sale is a serious piece of military hardware that has a top-speed potential of mach 2.2 and can pull 7.5Gs.
Because this particular jet flew as a testbed for a variety of sub-systems and Tornado upgrades, it has very low hours and has been babied its whole life. In fact, the jet never even clocked up 1,000 flight hours. Metaphorically, it's like a used car with 10,000 miles on it.
The F2A's unique cockpit configuration full of multi-function displays
Here is the listing description for the Tornado being offered:
"Ex Royal Air Force Panavia Tornado F2A ZD902 ADV for sale. The only F2A variant Tornado aircraft in existence. This is a rare "T-Bird" Twin Stick variant of the Tornado with full flying controls in both the front and rear cockpits. Airframe hours are a ridiculously low 935 hrs. Fitted with RB199 Mk103 afterburning turbofan engines, this former Royal Aircraft Establishment Trial Aircraft was used for Sea Harrier FA2 radar trials and for avionics research and evaluation. The cockpit is one of a kind modified with MFD screens and a prototype holographic Head Up Display.
This Air Defense Variant, known as TIARA (Tornado Integrated Avionics Research Aircraft) was built in 1984 and was last flown in November 2011. She comes complete with MOD F700 as well as a detailed print out log of all the flights ever flown including landing, take-off, rollers and arrested landings she ever performed.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The aircraft was fully assembled on 7th December 2015 prior to us dismantling and extracting it for road haulage. The photos showing the assembled aircraft were taken the day prior to disassembly. The aircraft was fully fueled and a defuel was conducted on the 3rd of November 2015 when external power was last applied. All fuel pumps were run during the defuel process. Internal battery electrical power was last applied on the 7th of December 2015 as part of the dismantling process and cockpit lighting systems were tested at this time.
The aircraft is now in storage in a heated hangar as per the photo below. The aircraft was hydraulically sound prior to being dismantled with accumulators charged. This should give an idea of how intact and complete this aircraft is, truly an incredibly rare opportunity to own one of our most exciting aircraft to date!"
The people over at Jet Art Aviation who have the Tornado F2A listing are obviously passionate about military aviation. Managing Director Chris Wilson was more than happy to give Foxtrot Alpha the gouge on this incredible machine.
The first thing I wanted to ask was if this jet could ever fly in private hands; the answer was pretty clearly a big yes, although for legal purposes Jet Art Aviation had to clarify that they are technically not selling it as flying aircraft. Here is how our exchange went:
Foxtrot Alpha: Do you envision this aircraft to be flown again? In other words, could an adversary support contractor buy this aircraft and fly it again? What about a private citizen?

Earning A Living As A Top Internet Analyst For A Multinational Firm
An increasing number of companies are putting more focus on the opportunities provided by the internet. This has led to a tremendous increase in the resources that are being dedicated to this purpose. Several websites have to be built and they have to be manned by qualified and competent professionals. This has brought about the need for a large number of internet or web analysts.
An internet analyst is someone who thoroughly understands internet technology as well as the most effective methods for pulling visitors to a site. A lot of companies are presently developing an online presence because online activity is rapidly on the increase. These companies require skillful and ambitious web analyst to effectively maximize their online presence and activity.
A web analyst must be enterprising and goal-oriented. The person has to know how to handle a project from beginning to the end, seeing the end goal even at the initial stage. Web analysts also need to keep abreast of the latest technological developments and be ready to learn new business strategies. They should be excited about data and look for ways to analyze these data instead of just plainly reporting it.
To become an internet analyst, you do not necessarily have to follow a particular career path or course. You only need to be outstanding in analytical subjects such as mathematics, statistics and information technology. However, if you want to earn a living as a top internet analyst for a multinational firm, you have to take the initiative and contact companies that you think may require the services that you wish to offer. Anyone who wishes to become an internet analyst would benefit more with a mentor that is successful in the same field.
Some of the main duties of a web analyst are to understand user intent on the internet, analyze various website components, recommend changes that should be made on a company's website as well as understand the company's business objectives and design a website around those objectives.
To be effective in these tasks, you should understand web technologies and also basic internet marketing strategies. You need to also know how to work with spread sheet programs, do page layout and have some web design knowledge. The salary you can earn as a top analyst for a multiannual firm will depend on the country the company operates from. However, after about five years in the industry, you should expect to earn a sum that is equal or not very far from that of a mid-level manager.
You also have to get some experience because this is very important to your career. For you to do this, look for a web analytics team where you can offer your services and also watch and acquire more knowledge. It is more beneficial to work with a small but well known company than with a large one because you will have access to a lot of information. Larger companies are usually involved in several projects and relate with a high number of clients, which could be overwhelming for a starter.

Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated had an interesting piece about parity in baseball, which seems to be following the path of the NFL.
Among the data, in the last 8 years, only 3 teams have won 100 games. In the prior 8 years, 16 teams did. Also, since MLB expanded to 30 teams, only once this far into the season have 16 teams have been within 5 games of .500. 26 of the 30 teams are still in contention for a playoff spot.
Baseball has become mediocre.
What are my feelings about it?
From a provincial perspective, I like it. The Orioles are in position to contend, even if they are kind of an average team.
As a fan of the sport, I don't like it. Dynasties, or at least dominant teams, make the major sports more interesting. People don't remember teams that were good once, won a title and disappeared. They remember teams that do it after year. In baseball, the Orioles of the 60's, 70's and 80's, the Yankees of course, the Cardinals and Red Sox recently. In the NFL, the Steelers of the 70's, then the 49'ers and the Cowboys of the 90's, the Patriots in the early 2000's. NBA, it's the Lakers and Celtics.
My point is, for local fans, mediocrity is often good. But for national fans, great teams are better.

Live Commentary
That's all that we have time for from Signal Iduna Park, as Dortmund defeat Bayern 2-0 to win the German Super Cup and it could have been more. I've been Simon Harrison and I hope to see you again next time.
Dortmund showed great desire and intensity, interrupting Bayern's passing play and ensuring a brilliant evening for Klopp's side. It's a reality check for Die Roten, given that the hosts were also missing plenty of important first-team players themselves.
FULL TIME! DORTMUND WIN THE GERMAN SUPER CUP! Die Schwarzgelben defeat Bayern 2-0, courtesy of goals from Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang, with the hosts looking incredibly comfortable throughout. Back to the drawing board for Pep, despite the Bundesliga champions having key players missing.
90' + 1'Immobile is set away on the break excellent, before sliding a pass into the path of Mkhitaryan. The goalscorer gallivants onwards, but is met by Neuer, who covers the ground excellently to patrol the edge of his box.
90'There's just one minute of stoppage time.
89'Bayern win a corner, which is headed clear yet again at the near post by Immobile. Rode is flattened by a physical challenge from Mkhitaryan, with the Armenia international accidentally catching the Die Roten utility man.
87'Bayern are allowed to keep the ball in their own half, but Dortmund are hounding once again, as Klopp's side look to finish strongly. Bender fires over, after a brilliant move from Die Schwarzgelben! Immobile picks out Hofmann on the edge of the box, before the youngster tees up the recent substitute with a cheeky backheel.
85'SubstitutionOliver Kirch Sven Bender
85'Five minutes left on the clock, with Dortmund replacing Kirch with Sven Bender. The defensive midfielder is given a brilliant send-off, though Die Schwarzgelben will certainly be pleased to see their injury-hit Germany international return to regular first-team action.
83'Dortmund continue to stream forward in the later stages, with Lahm forced into a cynical tug on Durm. Klopp's men are finishing the stronger of the two sides, able to maintain their countering intensity throughout. Bayern look slightly out of ideas or methods of stopping the yellow tide.
82'Yellow Card Philipp Lahm
81'We're into the final ten minutes, with Dortmund appearing to be comfortable winners in this one. Alaba lines up a free-kick effort from 25 yards, dipping the ball over the wall, but Langerak gets across well to parry it behind!
79'Dortmund break again, before Ramos picks out Mkhitaryan on the left-hand side, with the goalscorer cutting back onto his right foot. Gaudino doesn't get close enough, allowing for his man to try his luck, but the Armenian's curling effort sails narrowly wide of the top corner!
78'Dante surrenders possession rashly, with the Brazilian not looking solid whatsoever. His crossfield ball is intercepted by Immobile, but the Italian can't but Bayern to the sword, firing a low drive wide of the far post.
77'Mkhitaryan places a great through ball into the path of Immobile, who tries to ambitiously lift a finish over Neuer from 12 yards out! The goalkeeper claims simply, aided by excellent recovering pressure from Rode.
76'Dortmund haven't pressed too far into Bayern's half since their second goal, but remain solid. Neuer has become more of a spectator, but Langerak is similarly untroubled, with Die Schwarzgelben's defence performing excellently.
74'Immobile and Ramos continue to battle up front, pressing and harrying the opposition when asked. Shaqiri looks to drive infield from the left-hand side, but an unorthodox challenge from Ginter stops the Swiss winger.
73'Yellow Card Jerome Boateng
72'Kirch is brought to the ground by Boateng, who gets booked for his troubles. It's a terrible tackle from the Germany international, sliding in needlessly, perhaps in frustration. Nothing has really gone right for his side so far this evening.
70'Dortmund continue to force Bayern back to Neuer with frighteningly regularity, as going direct to Lewandowski appears to be the Bundesliga champions only real source of danger. Klopp's men are happy for Die Roten to have possession in two thirds of the field if required, putting faith in their solid defending and organisation.
68'Narrowly over 20 minutes remain for Bayern to come up with an answer to Dortmund's pressing, but Guardiola admittedly looks a little bit defeated, taking his seat on the bench. Die Roten look long for Lewandowski, but Sokratis manages to shepherd the pass back to Langerak.
66'Immobile is nearly found by an ambitious ball over the Bayern back three, but Neuer is off his line in a flash to claim. Guardiola's men are defiantly still trying to play their football, but Dortmund are in control. Shaqiri tries to shoot from the edge of the box but has possession stolen off his toe.
65'Durm is left in a heap, after Boateng covers across clumsily and ensures that his compatriot's knees clip together. He's up after a bit of treatment, but Klopp isn't happy whatsoever with that late tackle from the Bayern central defender.
63'SubstitutionPierre-Emerick Aubameyang A. Ramos
63'That'll be the final contribution from Aubameyang this evening, but a goal is the best way to go out! New summer signing Adrian Ramos replaces the Dortmund forward and the Colombian did well for Hertha Berlin against Bayern last season. There's definitely the promise of more goals here!
62'Assist Lukasz Piszczek
62'Goal Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
GOOOOOOOOOAL! AUBAMEYANG MAKES IT TWO! The Gabon international rises brilliantly at the near post to steer home a great header! His Spiderman mask is out in celebration! The cross is perfect and Die Schwarzgelben are 2-0 to the good!
61'Half an hour remains for Bayern to get back into this contest, but Langerak certainly hasn't been the busier goalkeeper. Gotze is slotting into a more central role for Die Roten.
59'SubstitutionPierre-Emile Højbjerg Mario Götze
59'Mario Gotze takes to the field for Bayern, earning himself plenty of boos from the home support. After moving from Die Schwarzgelben in rather controversial fashion, he's certainly not the most popular man here this evening. Hojbjerg is the man replaced.
58'Lewandowski fires wide on the volley, but even if it flew into the top corner it wouldn't have counted anyway, as the Poland international is caught offside. He's been much more involved, but is still waiting for his first clear cut chance of the evening.
56'Ten minutes into the second half and this is far more of a balanced contest. Both goalkeepers have been called into action, while Dortmund aren't quite pressing with the exact same vigour as in the last 20 minutes of the first half. Klopp is allowing his personnel to take a brief breather, perhaps.
54'Lewandowski holds the ball up brilliantly, flicking the ball around the corner to look for the onrushing run of Shaqiri. The Swiss midfielder can't quite get there, but Bayern are looking a little bit more threatening this side of half-time.
53'Immobile cuts a cross into the path of Mkhitaryan, who strikes first time, but Dante makes an important block. Boateng receives possession, but is immediately robbed by Durm, whose eventual back post cross is claimed well by Neuer.
52'Immobile is once again on defensive duty on the near post, heading Shaqiri's free-kick clear of danger. The tempo is fairly low, as both teams look to probe and test their opposition a little bit, but Dortmund always have that threat of breaking quickly, like a coiled spring.
51'Guardiola remains on the edge of his technical area, as he attempts to mastermind a way back into this contest for his side. Lewandowski is already having more of an influence on proceedings, as he releases Shaqiri down the left. Ginter is a little bit clumsy, felling the Swiss winger and giving Bayern the chance to whip in a free-kick.
49'Bayern have started the second half much more positively, but that was also the theme before the break. Klopp's side have already shown that they are more than prepared to surrender yards and drop deeper, knowing that their counter-attacking options are fearsome.
47'Two changes at the break, as Muller is withdrawn for Lahm, while Durm takes to the field in place of Schmelzer for Dortmund. The Bayern midfielder will slot in front of Die Roten's defence. Lewandowski is afford some space, driving a shot at goal, but Langerak is quick off his line to make a one-on-one save!
46'SubstitutionThomas Müller Philipp Lahm
46'SubstitutionMarcel Schmelzer Erik Durm
46'We're back underway in the German Super Cup! Dortmund have a slender lead and have looked commanding, but Bayern are unlikely to turn in a similarly poor and predicted performance this side of half-time. Plenty of time remains, with goals looking likely!
Be sure to rejoin us in ten minutes time for all of the second half action, as Bayern attempt to turn things around and get back into this game. Currently, there looks to be only one team in it, but Die Roten have a wealth of quality on their bench to call upon.
Lewandowski has been extremely quite on his return to Signal Iduna Park, while Dortmund's front four wreak havoc in between the lines. Javi Martinez has already been withdrawn with what looked like a serious injury, with Guardiola not having things his own way thus far.
HALF TIME! Dortmund lead 1-0 at the interval in the German Super Cup final, courtesy of a solitary goal from Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Klopp's system has worked wonders, with the hosts able to maintain constant pressure and win the ball back regularly inside Die Roten's half.
45' + 1'Mkhitaryan now has another chance to drive from deep in midfield, getting away from Rode, but balloons his eventual long-range effort high and wide of the target! That should be that!
45'Yellow Card Pierre-Emile Højbjerg
45'Hojbjerg earns himself a yellow card for a rash tackle, giving Dortmund a free-kick opportunity from 30 yards. Aubameyang tries to dip an effort into the top left-hand corner, but get it all wrong. Dortmund win the ball back deep in the Bayern half once again, with a cross centred straight to Immobile, but the Italian striker's shot is blocked!
43'Only a few minutes remain in the first half, with Bayern still only having managed to test Langerak on one occasion. Aubameyang breaks upfield at real pace, getting beyond Dante, before laying a pass back to Hofmann. The initial strike is straight at Neuer, before Kehl collects the rebounding ball and places it in exactly the same position as his young teammate!
41'Neuer is unable to prevent a deflect Piszczek cross from going behind for a corner, giving Die Schwarzgelben another chance to deliver. After pinball in the box, Kehl manages to lash the loose ball towards goal, but it's directly at Neuer once again! The goalkeeper reacts smartly to gather his own save.
39'Piszczek gambles on a back post cross, outjumping Bernat to head the ball into the middle of the box, but Dante is able to scramble away at the second time of asking. Dortmund are camping in the Bayern half, hunting in packs to ensure that Guardiola's men aren't allowed to patiently build from the back.
38'Kehl exchanges a neat one-two with Aubameyang at the edge of the penalty area, before driving to the byline! He cuts back a cross, but Boateng is able to hoof clear. Bayern are really struggling to get into their stride.
36'Dortmund are pressing high up the field and Bayern aren't sure how to break the siege. Play is worked back gradually, before resulting in Neuer kicking long. Klopp is masterminding an excellent performance from his side so far, while Sokratis has Lewandowski in his back pocket.
35'Ten minutes until the break and Bayern will be hoping to equalise before having to face the possible criticisms of their coach in the dressing room. Lewandowski nearly managed to intercept a loose ball and drive in behind the Dortmund ranks, but Schmelzer hurriedly gets there first to clear!
33'Great tackle from Boateng! The Germany international slides in excellently to deny Immobile the chance to let fly, before the rebound falls to Piszczek. The Polish right-back has a go with his first touch, but gets his angles wrong, blasting high and wide. Hofmann and Mkhitaryan are causing havoc in between the lines at the moment.
32'The opening half an hour hasn't quite gone according to plan for Bayern, with Dortmund able to ruffle the Bundesliga champions' feathers and take the lead through Mkhitaryan. On the break, Die Schwarzgelben have the beating of Guardiola's side, who aren't looking in control - which is quite unlike them.
31'SubstitutionJavi Martínez Dante
30'Martinez is taken from the field of play and looks in considerable pain, with Dante warming up immediately for Bayern. The Spaniard won't be able to continue, leading to Guardiola to be forced into an early switch.
29'Bernat whips in an excellent cross from the left-hand side, which Martinez tries to volley home acrobatically! The former Bilbao man doesn't get the right contact on his effort, before kicking Schmelzer with his follow through - leaving him on the turf and needing treatment. Meanwhile, Shaqiri comes over for additional instructions from Guardiola.
28'Bernat is slotted in behind Piszczek, who is forced to tug on the Spaniard's shirt to prevent the former Valencia man from leaving him in his wake. Bayern are awarded a free-kick, which Shaqiri delivers, but Immobile heads clear at the near post!
26'Space opens up in midfield for Dortmund to break again, with Hofmann releasing Aubameyang on the right-hand side! The former St Etienne man lets fly with his right foot, aiming for the bottom left corner, but Neuer gets down smartly to smother.
25'Less than half an hour played and Bayern are behind, with Klopp's system having plenty of joy against Guardiola's possession-based set-up. Dortmund win the ball back quickly from the restart, before Immobile's tame strike is gathered up with ease by Neuer.
23'Assist Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
23'Goal Henrikh Mkhitaryan
GOOOOOOAL! MKHITARYAN GIVES DORTMUND THE LEAD! The Armenia international puts the finishing touches on a very direct move, as he slides a through ball into the path of Aubameyang and is fortunate to pick up the scraps as Alaba covers across. From deep in the box, the attacking midfielder slots home! Dortmund are ahead, 1-0!
22'Shaqiri drifts across the face of the penalty area once again, as the Swiss forward is continually shown wide while looking to shoot. Eventually, the young midfielder tries to hang up a cross to the back post, but the ball curves out of play for a goal-kick.
21'Shaqiri looks for the head of Lewandowski at the near post, but Dortmund clear with ease. The home supporters are in buoyant mood at the moment, with their lightning counter-attacks leading to gaps opening up everywhere. Ginter rises highest to meet a Die Schwarzgelben corner, but the former Freiburg man nods straight at Neuer.
20'Lewandowski is outmuscled by Sokratis once again, much to the delight of the home fans. Moments later the Polish striker is threaded in behind Piszczek, but his compatriot recovers brilliantly to poke the ball behind for a corner.
19'Bayern are looking a little bit frail at the back, with Dortmund certainly having the pace and quick transitions to pick a few holes in the Die Roten back three. Immobile hasn't had the best luck thus far, but there's certainly goals in this for Die Schwarzgelben this evening.
17'Neuer clears off the line! The Germany international goalkeeper is forced to scamper back across his goal-line to prevent a heavy Martinez backpass from resulting in an embarrassing opener! Dortmund keep play alive, before Kirch is picked out in the box, but the defensive midfielder places his shot straight at Neuer, who bats it away!
15'Gaudino picks up possession deep in the Dortmund half, before slipping a ball through for Lewandowski, which Sokratis intercepts with an excellent sliding challenge! The hosts break upfield through Aubameyang on the left, but Martinez is able to head the forward's eventual cross away from danger!
13'Shaqiri looks very lively in the early stages, with the Swiss international perhaps playing for his place in the line-up here. He gets beyond Piszczek once again, cutting back a cross from the byline, but Kehl is on hand to clear at the near post for Dortmund.
12'Dortmund spray the ball around excellently, before Mkhitaryan ghosts across the field and delivers a pass to Piszczek. The Polish right-back whips in a cross, but Boateng manages to head away. Langerak remains the only goalkeeper to be tested thus far.
10'Immobile goes close! Alaba plays a terrible ball, which Aubameyang unwittingly intercepts, before the rebound bounces to the Italy international. Ignoring the other options, the former Torino man fires a low drive across goal from 20 yards, but the ball zips off the turf and narrowly wide of the far post!
9'The game is calming down somewhat, with Bayern beginning to dominate somewhat. Dortmund are happy to surrender territory if necessary, with their system typically based around transitioning quickly and exploiting the space left in behind and in between the lines.
8'Bayern settle into their shape to enjoy a bit of possession and exert some control on the game, but Dortmund are looking resilient. Die Roten are being forced to shift the play with long diagonals, which Klopp's side are happy to deal with.
6'Aubameyang blazes over! Piszczek overlaps down the right, before whipping in an early cross, finding the Gabon international on the edge of the box! His first touch sits up nicely, but his attempted half-volley veers high and wide!
5'A hectic start to proceedings, as Bayern put together some smooth passages of play, while Dortmund look to be as direct as possible whenever they get on the ball. Immobile has looked a little isolated thus far, but Die Schwarzgelben look to have the pace to cause problems.
3'Shaqiri has a go! Piszczek gets caught out of position, allowing the Swiss international to scamper into space on the left, but the midfielder's well-struck effort across goal is at a comfortable height for Langerak! The Australian goalkeeper beats it away from danger well!
2'Rode sees the ball stolen from his toe, before Dortmund attempt to break quickly, slotting a ball in behind the Bayern back three for Aubameyang to chase! Alaba matches the Gabon international yard-for-yard, before coolly passing back to Neuer.
1'We are underway in the German Super Cup! Both teams want to win this, with their competitive rivalry adding additional spice to tonight's fixture! Robert Lewandowski wears the red and blue of Bayern, with Dortmund in their famous black and yellow strip.
The teams are out in a packed Signal Iduna Park, with plenty of expectant Dortmund fans hoping to see their team perform well against the current Bundesliga champions. Last season, Die Schwarzgelben were ravaged by injury, but despite a few continued absences, Klopp's men are better equipped to deal with Bayern this evening.
There's only a quarter of an hour remaining until kick-off, so be sure to stick around for all of the action from Signal Iduna Park, as Dortmund and Bayern contest the German Super Cup. Both sides will be keen to start the season off in winning fashion, with Pep Guardiola in particular so fiercely competitive that even the Telekom Cup was a must-win tournament.
Sven Bender and Nevan Subotic are welcome arrivals on the Dortmund bench after long injury lay-offs last season, while new signing Adrian Ramos can provide some pace and intensity later in the game. For Bayern, Mario Gotze and Philipp Lahm are deemed only match-fit enough for the bench, while latest signing Pepe Reina also takes his seat among the substitutes.
Bayern substitutes: Dante, Pizarro, Gotze, Lahm, Starke, Badstuber, Reina.
Bayern starting line-up (3-4-3): Neuer; Boateng, Martinez, Alaba; Hojbjerg, Rode, Gaudino, Bernat; Muller, Lewandowski, Shaqiri.
Dortmund substitutes: Subotic, Bender, Jojic, Grosskreutz, Ramos, Alomerovic, Durm.
Dortmund starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Langerak; Piszczek, Sokratis, Ginter, Schmelzer; Kehl, Kirch; Hofmann, Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang; Immobile.
TEAM NEWS: David Alaba slots into the left of a back three once again for Bayern during this pre-season, with Javi Martinez also moving back into defence. Gianluca Gaudino and Sebastian Rode will sit, allowing for the likes of Juan Bernat, Pierre-Emil Hojbjerg to provide Die Roten's width. Thomas Muller and Xherdan Shaqiri support former Dortmund forward Robert Lewandowski.
TEAM NEWS: Oliver Kirch and Sebastian Kehl are tasked with shielding the back four, which new signing Matthias Ginter sits at the heart of alongside Sokratis. New Dortmund captain Mats Hummels is missing after returning from World Cup duty, as is goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller - leaving Mitch Langerak to deputise. Ciro Immobile, Jonas Hofmann and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are the offensive threats for Die Schwarzgelben, with Armenia international Henrikh Mkhitaryan pulling the strings.
I'm Simon Harrison and I will be leading you through all of the action as Die Roten look to add more silverware to their rather successful last few campaigns. Both clubs currently have five Super Cups to their name, meaning that whoever lifts the trophy tonight will be the new record holder. It might not be a truly competitive fixture, but both coaches like to win in any circumstances.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the German Super Cup, as the Bundesliga's two front runners clash at Signal Iduna Park. Jurgen Klopp's Dortmund might have the home advantage, but have it all to do against a well-drilled Bayern Munich side. Plenty of star names are absent, either down to injury or not being quite ready to feature, but there's still considerable quality available and several summer signings to feast our eyes on.
