Versatile recording
Disklavier pianos can capture anything that's played upon them and recreate this performance with remarkable precision. Special Yamaha developed fiber-optic sensors register the motion of each key and pedal, and record this data to internal flash memory or onto a standard 3.5" floppy disk for unlimited capacity and easy portability. Versatile recording functions allow you to record left-hand and right-hand parts independently, using the full keyboard for each hand or a designated split point – even create your own four-hand duets. And because the sensors use beams of light, rather than the physical contacts common to electronic keyboards, they have no effect on the feel or operation of the keys, capturing the subtlest nuances of expression without sacrificing the traditional touch and responsive control for which Yamaha pianos are renowned.
Faithful playback
Thanks to a sophisticated computer-controlled system to drive the hammers and pedals, Disklavier pianos can reproduce a piano performance on their own keys and strings, as if the original pianist were right there at the keyboard. Every nuance of the player's touch, from timing and velocity to duration and release, is accurately reproduced – live – giving you the pure sound of a true acoustic piano playing.
A variety of versatile playback controls provide added flexibility. You can adjust the playback volume to a level that you prefer, change the tempo without altering the pitch, transpose the performance into other keys without affecting the tempo, or repeat any selection – as often as you like. And the wireless remote control unit gives you complete command over Disklavier performance from virtually anywhere in the room.
Digital Quiet/Silent mode flexibility
Yamaha Silent System ™ technology lets you instantly cancel the acoustic piano sound and switch to digital piano tone generation. This means that you can play or listen in Quiet Mode through the built-in speakers, or in Silent mode via the privacy of headphones, letting you enjoy the Disklavier at any time by selecting a sound level suitable to the time of day and the activities of those around you.
By eliminating the sound of the acoustic piano, this feature also lets you play internal orchestral voices independently – ideal for multi-track recording or use as a MIDI controller. And in digital mode, you can easily tune the piano to match the pitch of other instruments or recordings.
Stereo sampled from the Yamaha concert grand, the digital piano tones are virtually indistinguishable from the original, while a special dual-mode action mechanism maintains traditional keyboard touch and response. Variable reverb effects can simulate the acoustics of various playing environments, and dual headphone jacks let you share a private performance with another, if you like.
SmartKey™ Now anyone can play – right away!
For anyone who's ever dreamed of playing the piano, but thought they didn't have time to learn, the new Disklavier can make your dream come true – without lessons, and even if you've never touched a keyboard or read a note of music in your life!
With the new SmartKey feature, it's easy. Just follow along as SmartKey partially depresses the next note to play. Within minutes, you'll be playing entire songs – complete with virtuoso harmonies and arpeggios, played to your lead by the Disklavier itself.
CueTIME™, another exciting development in music software, offers sophisticated auto-accompaniment. You simply play the printed piano part, and the digital orchestra 'follows your cue', matching your pace and enhancing your melody with professional-sounding instrumentation.
Note: SmartKey software may not be available in some countries.
Now with an expanded range of hardware- and software-enabled playback capabilities!
More than a piano – a complete entertainment system!
In addition to offering all the traditional attributes of Yamaha acoustic pianos, Disklavier pianos can also play themselves, providing exciting musical entertainment at any time, with or without a pianist. Equipped with a newly designed control unit featuring a built-in CD player and a Yamaha XG tone generator with nearly 700 instrumental voices, Disklavier Mark III Series grands can reproduce vocal parts and the sound of other instruments in conjunction with the piano. This makes it possible for you to host fully orchestrated Disklavier performances with up to 16 piano and ensemble parts. Simply choose from the wide variety of Disklavier software – now available on CDs as well as floppy disks – to experience 'live' concerts by many of the world's best-known classical, jazz and popular artists, as well as a wide range of titles recorded by top studio musicians.
Versatile functions for a wide range of applications
Combining the tone and touch of a Yamaha piano with an astonishing range of digitally enhanced capabilities, Disklavier pianos provide a truly unparalleled entertainment and creative system for any home, business, or educational organization. Versatile programming options make it easy to customize and automate Disklavier performance, providing an exciting attraction for hotels, restaurants and other establishments. Tempo and transition controls, and the handy remote, make the Disklavier an ideal accompanist for soloists, dancers, and other cultural and recreational activities. And easy follow-along and learn-to-play features open up new ways to teach and learn.
Built-in amplified speaker system
Incorporating their own stereo (60W + 60W) audio system with dual two-way speakers, Mark III Series pianos let you enjoy the sound of ensemble playback along with the acoustic piano itself. There's no complex setup; simply select the music you want to hear, press PLAY and sit back to enjoy the show. In addition to stand-alone ensemble performance, this also allows you to play the digital piano in Quiet mode through the internal speakers, lowering the volume to a level appropriate to the circumstances. You can also use your Disklavier sound system to play your audio CDs. And, with the Disklavier's external connections, you can easily tie it into your home audio system, letting you route the sound through remote speakers to bring the concert to other rooms – even outdoors for parties on the patio.
Supported by a vast library of Yamaha PianoSoft™ software
The Disklavier can reproduce live concerts by many of the world's top pianists, complete with the lifelike key and pedal movement.
It's like having world-class artists performing just for you.
It can also deliver high-fidelity vocal and instrumental tracks, so you can enjoy jazz combos, popular groups, chamber ensembles and more.
New teaching technology now even allows you to synchronize recording and playback with your own standard audio CDs or video camera.
Yamaha PianoSoft™ software
The original Disklavier music software, Yamaha PianoSoft offers prerecorded piano concerts by many of the greatest pianists of our times, along with many more performances by top studio pianists. The PianoSoft library includes literally hundreds of titles in genres from classical to jazz, pop and country music, along with special seasonal collections, regional anthologies, children's songs, and compilations made especially for instrumental or vocal accompaniment. Whatever your taste in music, PianoSoft can bring it to you at the touch of a button, with 'live' piano music in the comfort of your own home!
PianoSoft-Plus™ ensemble software
The 'Plus' in Yamaha PianoSoft-Plus software is the addition of digital instrumental ensemble tracks, made possible by the Disklavier's internal XG MIDI tone generator. With these disks, you can enjoy Disklavier acoustic piano performance augmented by the sound of strings, brass, woodwind, percussion and more. Sit back to the beautiful sounds of chamber music, the passion and drive of a jazz quartet, the upbeat tempos of a popular group, or a stirring orchestral arrangement. It's all right there, with the ease of a single diskette. Just slip it into your Disklavier, press PLAY and enjoy your command performance.
NEW! PianoSmart technology opens up a whole new world of entertainment possibilities
PianoSoft-PlusAudio™ ensemble software
The Mark III Series' CD-playing capabilities expand your musical entertainment options even further. PianoSoft-PlusAudio and other audio/MIDI CD software complements Disklavier performance with high-fidelity vocal and instrumental audio track. Experience the sound of your favorite groups – complete with vocalists and instrumental soloists – enhanced by the live-concert presence of Disklavier acoustic piano playback. With a variety of titles already available*, and more in development, your Disklavier can entertain you and your guests better than ever – all with the ease and convenience of conventional audio CDs.
* Availability may be limited in some countries.
A truly revolutionary breakthrough in Disklavier technology, the PianoSmart system opens up a world of additional ways to enjoy your digital/acoustic piano. PianoSmart intelligently synchronizes Disklavier recording and playback with the operation of the built-in CD player. What this means in real terms is that you can now record your own piano or electronic instrumental tracks while listening to your favorite CDs, and play them back in perfect combination with the original recordings. 'Sit in' with the hottest new groups, classic combos or a full symphony orchestra, then sit back, press a couple of buttons, and listen to yourself performing 'live' with the pros!
Through the use of MTC (MIDI Time Code), PianoSmart can also synchronize recording and playback with external devices such as multi-track recording equipment and video cameras*. These features enable pianists, families and educators to create audiovisual records of any performance, complete with 'live' Disklavier acoustic piano playback, stereo audio instrumentals and vocals, and full-motion video – all as one integrated presentation. They also allow creative musicians to collaborate in ways seldom dreamed of before. In combination with the many other Disklavier capabilities, PianoSmart extends digital/acoustic creativity into a whole new universe of options.
* Video synchronization requires an external video MIDI sync interface.
Attention, current Disklavier Mark III owners:
You too, can enjoy the excitement of PianoSmart technology. Ask your Yamaha dealer about a simple software upgrade diskette.
'Sit in' with your favorite artists
PianoSmart™ audio synchronization
The capability of PianoSmart technology to intelligently match MIDI data playback to audio CDs allows you to effortlessly record yourself playing along with CDs of your favorite artists, bands and symphony orchestras. Simply insert a standard music CD into the control unit, select record mode, and play away as you listen to the CD playback through the Disklavier's built-in stereo speakers. Your entire performance, including all key presses, pedal movements and dynamics, will be recorded as MIDI data into the Disklavier's internal memory or onto a standard floppy disk. Then, with the press of a button, your recorded piano performance will play back in perfect time with the music from the audio CD.
Enjoy your favorite CDs with 'live' piano!
Even if you don't play the piano, you can still experience the special pleasure of listening to a real piano performance in the privacy of your own home, made possible by the vast selection of Disklavier music software from Yamaha. And now, with the integration of PianoSmart technology into Disklavier Mark III Series pianos, virtually any CD, including your own personal collection, can potentially become Disklavier software. Yamaha's new Smart PianoSoft library will offer professionally arranged piano parts for playback on your Disklavier, perfectly matched with major audio CDs in virtually every music genre – beginning with some of the best-selling albums of all time. Now you can enjoy the music you love with the you-are-there excitement of 'live' piano performance!
Watch yourself perform 'live'
PianoSmart™ video synchronization
In addition to MIDI playback with audio CDs, Disklavier Mark III Series pianos can also read MTC (MIDI Time Code), allowing you to connect to video camcorders, through use of a MIDI sync box, and synchronize recorded piano performances to videotape playback. This unprecedented feature opens up whole new possibilities in musical performance. For example, you can videotape a piano recital performed and recorded on a Disklavier Mark III Series piano, and then relive the experience as the Disklavier plays the piano part 'live' to the recorded video! You can even video-sync performances that are played along with audio CDs.
Offering unparalleled opportunities for musical creativity and enjoyment!
Memory and programming features
Now with extensive internal memory capacity, the Disklavier Mark III pianos allow you to store a vast library of prerecorded songs for quick and easy access, as well as copy music between different recording media. Sixteen internal 'memory disks' let you group selections for specific moods or occasions, combine these groups in any order for continuous chain-play performance, and store up to nine different multi-disk programs for instant recall. A built-in calendar/clock/timer even makes it possible to program the Disklavier to play certain sets at certain times, for totally automatic, unattended operation, and 'time stamp' new recordings to facilitate future PC editing.
PC, MIDI and AUX connections
Along with an unprecedented range of internal capabilities, Disklavier pianos also provide easy plug-and-play access to a world of external equipment. MIDI IN/Out jacks let you control devices like synthesizers and sequencers from the Disklavier piano keyboard, add the capabilities of other MIDI devices to your Disklavier ensemble, or play the Disklavier's piano and instrumental tones from external equipment.
AUX connections let you amplify the Disklavier's sound via external audio equipment, or record your own performances directly to conventional audio media – without the need for microphones or other equipment, not to mention the time-consuming trial-and-error setup of typical acoustic piano recording. The AUX In jack also allows you to listen and play along with audio recordings through the Disklavier's own speakers or headphones – maybe even record yourself 'in concert' with your favorite band!
The built-in PC interface lets you connect the Disklavier directly to your personal computer, for virtually unlimited range of additional possibilities. You can record performances onto your PC or removable computer media. Use computer software to edit or transcribe and print out what you play. Play the Disklavier from your PC keyboard or applications. Download music files for playback on your Disklavier. Or even transmit Disklavier performances across the Internet.
Comprehensive utility functions
A wide variety of supporting features – including formatting, copying, titling and conversion functions – are built into the Disklavier Mark III series control unit, providing exceptional flexibility, convenience and control. A proprietary Self-Maintenance system provides automatic calibration, keeping your instrument in factory-fresh adjustment for maximum playback sensitivity.
Easy operational control
Despite its technological sophistication, Disklavier operation is simple and intuitive. A large, multi-function LCD panel displays settings, menus and operational guidance. And the majority of functions can be accessed both at the control unit and via remote control.

Open thread: The CNN YouTube freak show debate; Update: Private jet show of hands video added; Update: Biden tells gun owner he "needs help"; Update: I'll meet with Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinejad, says Obama
posted at 6:36 pm on July 23, 2007 by Allahpundit
7 p.m. ET. God help me, this one might actually be worth watching. So relentlessly and absurdly have they been hyping it that CBS's Public Eye blogger had to resort to a Buckwheat analogy to explain it. Behold the cherry on top of the doofus sundae.
Given the inevitable leftwards tilt to the questions and her rock solid status as frontrunner, Hillary may be in for a rough night. Speaking of which, have a look at this post by Kos and consider the possibility that she'll be attending Yearly Kos while skipping the upcoming annual DLC "national conversation." Why is that significant? Because not only is the DLC the flagship centrist Democratic nonprofit group, not only did Kos vow last year to destroy it, but it's been a key supporter of the Clintons dating back to Billy Jeff's presidency — to the point where the Glacier herself is the current chair of the group's Dream Initiative. She attended the "national conversation" in 2005 and 2006 and gave the keynote address in 2002 but as of this writing she's still not listed as one of the speakers next week. If she skips it to please the nutroots it'll be a total capitulation, a de facto admission that the hard left and not the center owns the party now. And I know a special lady whom I'll be reminding of that fact at every opportunity.
Anyway. No "John Doe" rules here: if you're watching and you see something that merits clipping, say something by sending us an e-mail. I leave you with Lonewacko's fearless predictions. Play along at home.
Q: How many video questions will feature people wearing masks? (My answer: 3)
Q: How many will feature either a puppet, a muppet, an animated character, or similar? (My answer: 1)
Q: What are the chances that my entry will be shown? (My answer: 1/infinity)
Q: How many questions will not be greeted with a sigh of relief by the candidates, as they go on to say "Good question!" followed by their standard stump speech? (My answer: none).
Update: They actually ran this crap.
Update: That's a whole lotta hands.
Update: Greasy Joe shows his appreciation for the Second Amendment.
Update: Here's a little something else for those "Republicans for Obama" to snack on. World Apology Tour '08, baby.

Thousands of Hoosiers become victims of identity theft each year and most didn't even know they were at risk. Staying alert and being able to spot the signs of identity theft can help you thwart identity thieves. Monitoring your financial statements regularly and checking your credit report at least once a year can help you detect errors, accounts you never opened, and/or bills sent to the wrong address - all signs that someone else is using, and ruining, your name and credit.
Consumers are entitled to one free credit report per year from each of the three credit reporting companies under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 1994.
Do not contact the three consumer reporting companies individually. They will provide all three free annual credit reports only through www.AnnualCreditReport.com.
You may also call 877.322.8228 to request your report or mail a written request to:
Annual Credit Report Request Service
P.O. Box 105281
Atlanta, GA 30348-5281
You should regularly monitor your bank and credit card statements along with your credit report. The earlier you recognize suspicious activity in these areas the better. Identity thieves can act quickly so you have to be vigilant to stop them. Red flags include:
Incorrect personal information on your credit report such as a social security number, address, name, initials, or employers. Also watch for new accounts being opened in your name that you did not authorize.
If you are missing bills be sure to contact your creditor to make sure no change of address has been applied to your account. Often identity thieves will change your billing address to make their illicit activities look more legitimate.
There are several commercial services that will monitor your credit reports for activity and alert you to changes to your accounts for a fee. Many such services only monitor one of the three major consumer reporting agencies. If you're considering signing up for a service, make sure you understand what you're getting before you purchase the service. You could also check out the company with your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) and check the consumer protection lawsuit database to see if any enforcement actions have been filed against the company.
You receive a bill from collection agencies or debt collectors begin contacting you about overdue debts you never incurred.
You apply for a mortgage, car, or student loan and learn that problems with your credit history are hindering your chances of obtaining the loan when you are certain the damage is not a reflection of your personal financial activity.
You receive something in the mail about an apartment you never rented, a house you never bought, or a job you never held.
Unfortunately, many consumers don't learn their identity has been stolen until it's too late. It is critical that you act immediately if you suspect that your identity has been compromised. Victims should take immediate action to work through the steps to recovery (insert link to the 'Restore' page).

Excerpt: "Weve been taking a look toward 2013 with a position-by-position breakdown of the Giants leading into the scouting combine and free agency.
So far, we have analyzed quarterback, running back and wide receiver. Today is tight end.
2012 depth chart:Martellus Bennett, Bear Pascoe, Travis Beckum, Adrien Robinson.
Overview: The Giants pretty much went with two tight ends for the entire season with Bennett and Pascoe. Bennett was pretty much everything the Giants hoped for. He showed his vast potential and athleticism on the receiving side with a career-high 55 receptions for 626 yards and five touchdowns. And the Giants probably could have utilized him more in the passing game. His blocking was good, although the coaches say it can improve. Pascoe provided blocking on the line and from his H-back type of role. Beckum spent most of the season recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the Super Bowl and returned briefly before hurting his knee and landing on IR again. Robinson remains a project to be developed." Read more...

|Check-in before
A great beginning to our Italy trip! The room was exactly as expected, maybe better, and in a fabulous location!. Downstairs, a cute couch and table, upstairs a very comfy bed. We were met by Carlos and he was a gracious and kind host, explained everything and was very patient when I asked for advice throughout our stay. Even helped me book tickets to the Vatican on his computer when my tablet wouldnt do it. Breakfast was perfect each morning too! Best of all, my daughter and I loved the precious pets, they were very well behaved and they left us with good memories!
We loved our trip in Roma !
Our hosts were really nice and gave us usefull information.
The room is really pretty, and the flat well located (3 min walking from the Colisée).
We warmly recommand the place to stay!
+: a very good location, it was great to see the Colosseum two times a day, we liked the dog and the cats, a comfortable bed, a couch to sit on, great owners, very helpful, a kitchen where you can eat your breakfast (bring your own bread) and plan your day in Rome.
-: the shower was a bit small, and the warm water was sometimes not available, also there is only one toilet, (which was only occupied for a few minutes when i wanted to get in.)
For us the room was perfect, after strolling through Rome for a whole day it's nice to sit down on the couch and to go through the day with a good glass of wine. It was comfortable and clean.
.. and not only it's a remarkable and enchanting room, it's owners, Lorenzo and Carlos, are also worth mentioning. They're kind, helping with all kind of information. We even could leave our bags at Carlos' shop, where you can get good wines and other south european delicacies, after checking out.
It's situated perfect to start exploring the city of Rome. The colosseo is at the end of the street (300 metres) and the Metro a bit further (700 metres). I can recommend this B&B to everyone.
We spent for nights in the apartment and really recommend it to everyone looking for a super central location in Rome.
You get their big room with plenty of space including couch, big table and messanine sleeping-area. The guys are really friendly and helpful. They own a nice wine shop across the street, so you know where to find them.
Be aware you share a bathroom and there are 2 cats in the apartment as well. We did not mind any of this and had a great time, especially because of the extremely central location near to the Colloseum in a very cool part of Rome with local stores and restaurants nearby.
Dear all, we stayed in a very nice place in a lovely area in Rome. The area was like a little village in the big city, the house was run by two very helpful hosts. Their knowledge of the public transport was perfect, and one of the owners has a little, very good wineshop just opposite the appartemen! A clean, cosy, quiet and not very expensive place nearby all places you want to visit or wander about: what more can you wish for. Bart & Carlien, from Amsterdam.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Location is at walking distance of the colleseum and other archeological sites. Clean bathroom and nice apartment with elevated bedroom very romantic.
Very well located flat for exploring Rome on foot in a nice area with excellent shops and restaurants close by. The flat was clean and comfortable with space to relax. The hosts were friendly and hospitable.
It's my first time to go Italy with my wife and also first time to stay in share flat with local. Hosts are very nice and helpful, place is tidy and convenient to site seeing places, many nice restaurants around. I can enjoy typical Italian local life there! I do recommend to people who looking for place in Roma! : )
This is really the best place to stay if you like cats and you want to feel at home during your visit in Rome! The hosts are really hospitable and they do everything to let you feel comfortable. Nothing is too much for them. It is a really nice and clean place and not far at all from the monuments. Everything is easy accesible by public transport. If you do not like cats, than this is not a place for you, because they are present at anytime and they like attention.
I recommend this place to everyone! Thanks Guys, was amazing! I really felt at home with you!

Remember, no one gets a free pass to the championship, anything can happen. The difference between this year and last is the Giants are healthy Early.
If it stays that way, the sky is the limit. (not to mention the GB, NO and Ravens games dont appear to be as daunting.........do we all concurr???
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Professor.......get some comfort food and a 6 pack for the game......you are going to need it LOL
Do you even yourself in your heart of hearts think Dallas will win? Find some eye candy at work to take your mind off the pain
Just left the Dallas forums. Sean Lee will have season ending surgery on his toe. Out for the yr. Now we will have to hear all the "You won cuz Lee, Costas & Murrey were hurt" card.
Oh, I agree 100%, it's just that I'm so sick & tired of players & fans from other teams always pulling the "we beat ourselves" or "ur lucky our best player/players was out" card!

I have played with a lot of wedges, and never really felt comfortable with any of them other than in sand traps. These wedges (52, 54, 56)are like an extension of my body. Effortless chips and pitches.I read the reviews on different web sites and decided to give them a try. Amazing!! I bought one club to try, and was so pleased I bought two more. They are all great. I am 75 and have recently started playing small course again after a very long layoff from injuries. After much research (and several false starts with other brands) I purchased R11 irons and woods and tried the TM wedges because I was so pleased with my other TM clubs. I am extremely happy with all of them. I am sure there are other clubs that fit other players better, but to be able to hit as long and as straight as I can with my R11s and these wedges, at my age, is great (Bogey Golf). These wedges are the frosting on the cake. Cbill
this is a great Wedge(52*). The ball stops right where it lands with little spine back
There are better performing wedges now that offer more spin, forgiveness, and feel in a similar shape.
It's hard to find the face plates now, but they are awesome.
Mine had the KBS Hi-Rev shaft and this wedge does seem to be able to stop the ball. I like the sole grind as it is easy to hit various shots by opening and closing the club face. Insert does not affect the feel or performance of the wedge. Really nice.

Tell evryone the vehicle that got you interedted in automobile...post pics too!Mine The Lambo Diablo
Volvo 740 GL WAGON! i could spell VOLVO before i could spell my own name. i could write VOLVO before i could write my own name. the top one is EXACTLY like my mom's old one...only hers had different hubcaps.
The Mustang and Corvette....those were the only two cars I could identify when I was younger, since they were my dad's favorites. Once I learned what a Ferrari and Lamborghini was, I started learning for myself, but the Viper was what got me hooked. I already have a picture of that one in my sig.
[image]http://ohv.prettyblack.jp/1971roadrunner2.jpg [/image]
The C5 Corvette...it's first year in '98. That's when I was really hooked on cars.
Great thread. It all began with the hardtop version of the car in my signature--1965 t-bird. My grandmother gave me a set of toy cars and a car hauler when I was 3 years old--like 1:24 scale. One car was blue, one was green and I have no idea what they were. But there was a red car (my favorite color) and it happened to be a 65 thunderbird. I think i latched onto it because my parents were driving a red 1970 Thunderbird a the time (the one I now own). I loved the fact that, like my dad, I had a thunderbird too. By the time I was 6 or 7, I had as many toy 64-66 thunderbirds as my mom could find (like model cars, and snap-togethers), but my obsession wasn't complete. My second real car was a white 1966--it had a dark blue interior, 390 4bbl, and only 63000 miles when I got it. I've also had a 64, and 65. I'm certifiable.
I love 57 fairlanes. Nice Beav, Nice.
And CJ, that volvo story is great!
A jet black, fully restored '57 Chevy 2 door post with the original 283 and powerglide. It looked something like this, only better.
[quoteAnd CJ, that volvo story is great!
well at first it was the Lamborghini Countach, but once i got into them for about a month i fell in love with the Ferrari F40... i dont need to post pics of those 2 legends.my mom says that i used to point out mustangs and corvettes while we were in the car when i was 3 years old, but i dont remember it.
corvette camaro and fiderbird aka firebird
I don't know what got me interested inc ars. I've loved 'em fro as long as I can remember...which is only about a week, so...no, really, i'm not going senile! I'm only 27!
Probably the 69 camaro or 70 chevelle...
Countach made me fall in love with designs. The 1st Gen DSM really made me fall in love with cars though.
It is hard to place exatly when or what, but i think it would almost have to be the '70 GTO:


text: One of my favorite builds , they just have a really great feel to them . Think "MP5" with some ass and no damn roller bearings :) This run is with the MAA buttstock which I'm really liking. These are the "short gas" which is using the krink piston and barrel length .

Petersen Rock Garden makes National Historic Register
'Unique property' near Redmond draws many visitors
REDMOND, Ore. - Petersen Rock Garden near Redmond is among Oregon's latest entries in the National Register of Historic Places, the state Parks and Recreation Department said Friday.
Petersen Rock Garden was designed and constructed by Danish immigrant Rasmus Christian Petersen from about the time he retired from farming, in the winter of 1935-36 until his death in 1952.
Located in rural Deschutes County between Redmond and Bend, Petersen Rock Garden was open to the public from the beginning, with only a suggested donation. The year of his death a reported 200,000 people visited the popular site.
Petersen constructed the garden features from volcanic and river rock and semi-precious stones that he collected from around the region and the country, which he assembled into sculptures and vignettes that expressed his personal visions and views, such as his Statue of Liberty, as well as fanciful buildings and narratives.
He also built a museum on the site to showcase the more interesting stones in his collection, including his collection of fluorescent minerals.
Petersen developed the rock garden on his original homestead, which he settled in 1906. Today the property is about twelve acres in size, with the gardens occupying approximately four acres, which also include ponds and other water features,
Petersen's own Craftsman bungalow, his workshop where he constructed the features, the museum, a restaurant from the 1950s, and landscape features. Today Petersen Rock Garden is owned and operated by a descendent of the family, and is still open to the public.
Oregon's State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation recommended the site's nomination at its February meeting, as a unique property in Deschutes County and the state of Oregon.
Petersen Rock Garden is one of 38 individual properties and historic districts in Deschutes County that are now listed in the National Register, which is maintained by the National Park Service under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
More information about the National Register and recent Oregon lists is online at www.oregonheritage.org

Police Report on the Rev. Padraig (Patrick) Greene
Original post made by Jeb Bing, editor of the Pleasanton Weekly, on Nov 20, 2007
Crime: Lewd act in public, Sect. 314, Code P.C.
Address of occurrence: 6900 Broadway (Park)
Occurred on/from: 2 March 1999, 1350 (1:30 p.m.), Tuesday
"On 2 Mar 99 at 1350 hrs, I was assinged (sic.) to work in plain clothes at the North Oakland Sports Center (6900 Broadway). I entered the mens (sic) restroom and observed the suspect (Greene, Patrick J.) standing facing the urinal.
Mr. Greene was masterbating (sic.) with his left hand. Mr. Greens (sic) penis was erect and he was not urinating. I asked Green (sic) if he had come there for an "afternoon delight;" He said he was just relaxing (still masterbating) (sic.) Mr. Greene asked what I was there for and turned to face me.
He continued to masterbate (sic.). I responded "Whatever comes up." He replied "What comes up most (sic) go down."
I then took Mr. Green (sic) into custody."
A document from the Municipal Court on April 28, 1999 reports that Greene spent two days in custody, that bail of $1,000 was waived and that Greene was released to participate in the rehabilitation program.
On Nov. 17, 1999, after verifying that the rehabilitation program has been completed successfully, Judge Castellanos dismissed all charges.

I'm confused! So what child did Padraig Greene abuse or, for that matter, what adult?
Thank you, Jeb, for posting this police report and bringing to light the GROSS exaggerations, false accusations and misinformation being disseminated about Father Greene. Those responsible should open their Bibles to Exodus 20:16, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

either way , what this "father" did was wrong and unexcusable. wether or not he was caught soliciting a minor. he was still caught masterbating in the public bathroom. with no concern that someone was speaking to him. he (Comment partially removed by Pleasanton Weekly Online staff)should not be aloud in the church. (Comment partially removed by Pleasanton Weekly Online staff)even if he only spent 2 days in custody, probably just in the holding cells as well. when i got a drunk in public back in 2000, i had to serve 3 days in custody. which one is worse? i think it's the lewd act. considering drinking is legal masterbating in a public bathroom urinal with people watching, in a facility known for soliciting minors. simply cause he had to settle (Comment partially removed by Pleasanton Weekly Online staff) he gets special treatment. i don't get it. but one thing that should never happen is allowing him into the pleasanton church. it is only a matter of time before a similar or much worse situation happends again.

I agree with Aaron (I came on this forum because the other one has 130 something comments- to many to read). But I am still very curious as to why it's ok to excuse and forgive a priest but if a teacher or any other community leader did this, it would be hell for them. WHY is it ok??? Because a religion says to forgive those who have sinned? Just because a minor wasn't involved doesn't make it any better or worse. And let me add:A good person that has no faith in religion is better than an evil one that does. All Priests that have done things to children or sexual acts in public not involving children, to me, are considered "evil."
I personally know families that will not return to St. Augustines/Elizabeth just because of this- not of fear or any worry that something may happen. Just because they do not have a need to belong to a community church that associates with these kinds of people. It's like locking an alcoholic that goes to A.A in a room each day for 5 hours with a case of beer. Eventually, he/she will crack and give in.

I would like to know if aaronw or PToWN94566 are members of CCOP ..... or are you just people that are too ignorant and hateful to know the truth about Father Green? ..... he has already served OUR parish community for several years and while there may be a few isolated families that have not known him closely, the other thousands families do and support him and love him dearly .... this is not a man that is a threat to anyone .... on the contrary .... this is a man that has done more good and will do more good for our parish than any outsider could ever know ..... (portion removed by PW staff) Mr. Aaron .... (portion removed by PW staff) but then again, I suppose that you must feel that you've paid your dues and are entitled to move foward with your life as a prodcutive citizen .... oh but wait a minute .... I guess that's only good for you and not for any body else ......

Take action and influence the selection of a new pastor:
1. Give to other charities - Donations speak the loudest. Until the decision to name another pastor is made redirect your weekly church donation to other local charities not associated with the Diocese of Oakland.
2. Volunteer your time to other causes - Your time is valuable and you should spend it with organizations whose leaders you admire. Refusing to carry on with any volunteer work you perform as if nothing has changed and making the conscience choice to donate your time elsewhere will be noticed.
3. Unregister from the parish - Taking your name off the parish roll and refusing to have your family name associated with an organization you do not agree with is an easy, yet powerful statement. Other churches in the area are: St. Raymond Parish in Dublin and St. Charles Borromeo Parish and St. Michael Parish in Livermore. These parishes are part of the Diocese of Oakland, so give to other local charities instead until a new paster is assigned to CCOP.

Geezz JT bitter much? (portion removed by PW staff) As for the priest at St. Augustines, yes he may have done his time with therapy but I would NEVER leave my nephew or any child alone with him. And the only reason I feel this is because of what HAS happened in catholic churches- it's not a risk anybody should have to take. And to answer your question, yes I was baptized at St. Augustines and used to be a part of that community- but I'm not anymore because of people like you. I used to be at St. Augustines everyday as a teenager, after school, helping plan events for the youth program. Anyway, I don't care who it is that committs a crime that involves sexual acts, alone or with other, but I would never leave a child alone with him or her. Even if it was the Pope or some other highly respected person. A person who chooses to do something as dirty as that, has made a horrible choice and should never again be seen as a community leader.

well JT, would you leave him in charge of your kids for the week. no other people. i think not, sir. and who are you to throw judgement either bud, you don't seem to know much yourself. a dip is nothing you fool, a sexually lewd act will make you a sexual offender. you seem to have a personal relationship with the guy, so good for you and your biast opinion. good job!! i am a concerned citizen looking at your church, though not my current church, still a local church i use to go to. 10-15 years ago i was part of the church. and i would go to if for some reason my fine church with priests that don't jack-it in public around kids, shuts down... but no i wouldn't. wolf in sheeps clothing. i've been let down by people i have known for years. so don't be suprised when he does it again.I agree with you ptown94566, he should not be allowed here. i don't care what he's done for the community, look at what he's done against it now. sexual devience is sexually differing from a norm or from the accepted standards of a society. it is not acceptable, not just by the bible, but by webster too. so jt i guess the question is how far are you going to go to protect a evil person. would you protect him if you found him with your son, giving him a special "penance". i doubt it, you would probably like any normal person rip his head off.

I personally am not a cynic. I believe in forgiving someone for their past mistakes. However, if you don't believe this, there is no way that I am going to be able to change your mind. But what I can say is PLEASE think about this logically. So he masturbated in a public bathroom. HOW does that make him in any way a danger to children???

Funded in part by Humanities Texas, the Alfred S. Gage Foundation and the Newman Family Charitable Trust of the San Antonio Area Foundation, the festival will feature a variety of events including readings by the authors, writing workshops, drama and an Open Mic Slam. For electronic media enthusiasts, Coover, an internationally acclaimed novelist, will exhibit a one-of-a-kind literary virtual experience. Complete with a mixed-media hologram, the virtual experience will blend mainstream electronic media with traditional literature.
"We want to generate a greater understanding and appreciation for contemporary literature," Nan Cuba said , visiting professor of English at OLLU and festival coordinator. "`Heart without Borders/Corazón sin Fronteras' is truly about featuring all kinds of literature, from traditional to new media, and mixing it all together in one space. OLLU is pleased to bring a top-notch literary festival that will stimulate interaction between the authors, students and literary enthusiasts from across the city."
Cisneros will launch the festival with a special reading of her works with a book signing to follow. Martinez also will read from her newly-released "Confessions of a Berlitz-Tape Chicana," a collection of essays that gives voice to a tongue-tied generation through the author's deeply personal views on religion and culture. Santos, the first Latino Rhodes Scholar, will lead the Open Mic session as well as give readings throughout the festival.
All events are free unless otherwise noted. For a complete list of events, visit the Our Lady of the Lake University Web site or call (210) 434-6711, ext. 2091.

MIDDLETOWN -- "We made some mistakes and championship-caliber teams do what champions do, they capitalize on them and win games," Cloverdale girls' soccer coach Steve Stewart said.
Stewart made those comments following the Eagles' 3-1 loss to Middletown in the semifinal round of the North Coast Section Division III playoffs on Wednesday night in Middletown. The No. 1-seeded Mustangs remain undefeated at 20-0-1 as they advance to play the No. 2-seeded Coyotes of Sonoma Academy (17-4) Saturday at Clear Lake High School in Lakeport. Middletown defeated the Coyotes 6-1 in September, the only time they have faced each other this season. Action begins at 1 p.m.
This is the first time the Mustangs have advanced to the NCS finals, having been stopped in the semifinals on three previous occasions by the Coyotes (2008) and St. Vincent (2009-2010).
"It was persistence," Middletown coach Lee Hoage said of his Mustangs' performance. "We knew we had some talent and just needed to keep plugging away (at Cloverdale's goal)."
The Mustangs showed why they are the top-seeded team in the field as they first beat back a determined attack by the Eagles in the opening minutes of the contest and then began a relentless blitz that clearly overwhelmed Cloverdale and set the tone for the remainder of the match. The Mustangs spent almost 25 of the 40-minute first half pushed up into the Cloverdale half of the pitch, taking five of their six shots on goal in the final 15 minutes.
"We told the outside defensive backs to play in," Hoage said. "We wanted to keep the pressure on them and it worked."
Middletown's first goal came in the 30th minute of play as Ashlyn Welton blew past a pair of Eagles defenders to the front of the Cloverdale goal where she rocketed a shot past Cloverdale keeper Bailey Creager into the net.
The Mustangs continued to apply the pressure in the second half of play, working their way to the front of the Eagles net and sending balls flying at Cloverdale's goal only to miss wide of the mark until the 72nd minute when Kelly Wilkinson took off on a solo run through the Cloverdale defenders to the front of goal where she let fly a shot that blew past the outstretched arms of Creager and into the back of the net.
A foul in the box set up the Eagles' lone score as midfielder Madison Stewart sent a penalty kick flying straight at Middletown keeper Cheyenne Emerson, who was unable to hang onto the ball.
Emerson had four hard saves and as many stops during the match.
Hannah Diaz, the Mustangs' top goal producer this season, finished off the Eagles in the final minutes of the match when a Cloverdale infraction gave her a direct kick opportunity from 40 yards out. The junior sent a long, arcing shot over the Cloverdale backfield and Creager's outstretched arms into the back of the net for a 3-1 lead.

Publisher: Electronic Arts Inc.
Developer: Koei
Ship Date: Fall 2000
Category: Real Time Strategy
The ancient storied battlefield lies before you. At your command are
100,000 troops including archers, infantry, riflemen, and the powerful
cavalry. Kessen, or "strategic battle," is a real time strategy game
designed for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system that gives
players strategic command and control over huge armies during epic battle
sequences from the Warring States period of seventeenth century Japan.
Players begin by taking the role of Ieyasu, one of Japan's most fearsome
warlords and commander of the Tokugawa Shogunate as he engages 100,000
loyalists who stood with the Toyotomi family in a decisive battle at
Sekigahara that will declare a new shogun with power throughout all
Kessen takes full advantage of the new and powerful Agent Technology
capabilities of the PS2, which lets players command their armies as
a group, allowing hundreds of soldiers in full 3-D to battle in real-time
across varying terrain, guided by the tactics and strategy of the player.
The tactical battle control over battalions is the centerpiece of the
game. Although standard RPG elements such as obtaining new weapons and
resting to restore energy will also be a significant part of the strategy,
now the challenge will be even greater due to the sheer number of characters
that the player commands.
Players guide their men, as would a real Commander of the time, by
responding to reports and to what they see. Players will be able to
watch as their battle develops, deciding strategy and issuing commands
to officers, as they deem necessary. Players will have the ability to
issue commands to their officers including attack, move, hold, rush
attack, and messenger. Each officer will then take the command issued
and act according to individual characteristics and tendencies, yet
maintain his role within the group. The outcome of the game will depend
on the player's skill as a tactician, the right Commander and unit at
the right time could save your force from defeat and change the history
of a nation.
Key Features:
· First DVD title for the PlayStation 2.
· Kessen boasts over 100 move segments that deeply immerse the player
in the game's storyline.
· Amazing graphical quality.
· Based on actual battles from feudal Japan.
· Battlefields have full 3-D terrain, with realistically rendered fields
and hills.
· The first console game to allow over a hundred 3D characters on screen
at one time.

This may not be the right place for this thread but I didn't see a general fett place to put it.
So the question is, you have your glorious costume which is potentially fragile and you are traveling to a comic convention or whatever gathering, how do you pack it? Do you fit everything in cardboard boxes?
The helmet is the thing I haven't figured how to put in a box without being terribly worried it will break.

Woman Almost Misses Heart Problem
Many people don't think twice about shortness of breath. They tend to link it to other things like stress or even lack of physical activity.
"A lot of times the symptoms of a rapid heart rate, dizziness and weakness is often a symptom similar to other symptoms like anxiety," said Dr. Jay Merrill.
We learned that one woman only didn't begin to question her weird feelings until 20 years after the first episode. "One day I was out practicing softball and out of the blue my heart just started racing," said Janet Powell
Janet was dealing with a super ventricular tacacardia, which is a rhythm problem in the heart. After working at the the Wellmont CVA Heart Institute for 15 years, Janet was not new to heart problems. "I was gonna try and go on to the ER but on the way to the hospital the rhythm broke and went back to normal," she explained.
Although Janet encouraged her patients to have procedures done when they experienced the same problem. She began ignoring it because it would only happen a few times a year. "The very last episode that I had was actually here at the heart center," she said. "I was seeing patients and was not exercising. All of the sudden it took off."
She tried to continue to work, but realized that it couldn't be ignored any longer -- she needed an ablation. "[An ablation is] a procedure that is designed to actually cure many kinds of heart rhythm problems," said Dr. Merrill
The Wellmont CVA Heart Institute says these ablations can take anywhere from two to four hours and they perform up to 275 of them a year.
Janet had a full recovery and says that although she wishes that she had done the procedure sooner, she is thankful that she can use her experience in the workplace to help other patients. "I'm able to volunteer now that I actually had this procedure done," she said.
For more information on an ablation you can contact the Wellmont CVA Heart Institute at (423) 230-8200.

text: If Rolle was released, I think it would give the Giants enough cash to offer KP a fair and acceptable raise. I think the sticking point will be the Giants wanting KP to be on the field to earn it. An incentive package based on playing time is likely the best way to go, but it sounds like Phillips doesn't want that on him. If that type of deal gets done with Phillips, I see Rolle leaving. We have decent depth at safety to KP a shot to stay on the field. Now if we had one more reliable CB, Webster could be a cap casualty too.

As my first season winds to a close, I'm fully engaged in the battle with Varroa. First my count was 3 per 24 hrs. I was happy. Then it crept to 8, then 10. I was still OK. Then, 20 and on to 40. Ouch! Exponential growth? Check. I thought I was going to make it the first year without having to battle the pest. Alas, no.
I started doing PS treatments when my count was about 20 in 24 hrs, but it didn't seem effective. Following the recommendations of thewarrestore.com, I tried dusting from the top bars of my top box. (The bees have filled 3 boxes, and have a 4th empty underneath that I'm about to remove for winter.) It seemed like the powdered sugar never really "went" anywhere. I didn't see a lot of sugary coated bees in the brood box (I have windows), and not much came out through the SBB onto my counting grid. The mite count kept climbing.
though I aspire to the standards Warre set and want to keep my hibe in the most "organic" way I can, I got desperate and actually opened the hive, pulling each box off so I could treat each set iof top bars individually. (Warre is rolling in his grave, I'm sure. ) I seemed to get more PS on the counting board, but mite counts stayed high, and even climbed up to around 40 per 24 hours.
I got super desperate and did a thyme oil/mineral oil treatment (as recommended by thewarrestore.com) after tearing the hive open and dusting with PS the third time. It seems the mite count is staying high (40 in 24 hrs, 3 days after treatment, 30+ 4 days after treatment).
So, after all that, the questions: How may of you have had success with PS treatments? If you have, have you applied all of the PS from the top bars of the top box, or do you open your hive to treat? How many of you have found PS to be ineffective in your Warres?
Finally, the BIG question: What to do going into winter? Do PS for a couple more weeks (I've done 3 weeks now.)? Repeat thyme oil treatment? Let the bees sort it out over winter, keep my fingers crossed and plan to buy a package of VSH bees this spring if things don't go well? Suck it up and admit my bees are not up to battling Varroa and get some MAQS? Moral support and opinons, please...

Three arraigned in pair of Warm Springs murders
One suspect is only apparent tie between cases
PORTLAND, Ore. - Three Warm Springs tribal members appeared in federal court Friday on murder charges in a pair of killings on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation last week – and one suspect faces charges in both of what prosecutors say were otherwise unrelated homicides.
The U.S. Attorney's office says tribal members Tana Chris Lawrence, 20, and Angeledith Saramaylene Smith, 25, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges during their arraignment in Portland Friday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Janice Stewart.
The charge carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, prosecutors said.
The grand jury indictment, issued Wednesday, alleges Smith and Lawrence murdered Faron Kalama, 30, on Sept. 29 during the course of a burglary, a kidnapping and a sexual assault.
Lawrence and Smith were arrested last week and had been held in tribal custody.
The grand jury also indicted Curtis Lamonte Brown, 38, another tribal member, as an accessory to that murder, accusing him of aiding the two women to help them avoid apprehension. Assistant U.S. Attorney Craig Gabriel says Warm Springs police and the FBI arrested him Thursday night, and he too entered not-guilty pleas during his initial court appearance Friday.
Kalama's body was found a week ago, several days after the body of Jonas Andrew Miller, 33, was found Sept. 30 on the reservation – and prosecutors said Friday that Brown has been charged with second-degree murder and a firearms charge in the killing of Miller, who was fatally shot in the head.
All three defendants were ordered detained in federal custody. Lawrence and Smith are due for trial Dec. 18 before U.S. District Judge Anna Brown. Brown's next court appearance was set for Oct. 29.
"These homicides are a deep tragedy for the victims' families and for the entire Warm Springs community," said U.S. Attorney Amanda Marshall. "My office, together with tribal and federal law enforcement, will devote the necessary resources to bring these defendants to justice."
In an affidavit supporting the charges related to Miller, FBI special agent Daniel Baringer said Miller's body was found Sept. 30 on a dirt path about 250 yards from County Line Road on the reservation.
Earlier that day, Baringer said Warm Springs police received a missing person's report from Miller's mother, Sharon Miller, who said she had not seen him for a week.
During a subsequent interview, Sharon Miller said her son owned several rifles, including an assault rifle he had bought "in a parking lot somewhere" that was missing.
An Oct. 2 autopsy by state Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Larry Lewman determined Jonas Miller was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, and positively identified the victim, the FBI agent said. An investigation determined the body had been at the spot where it was found for about a week.
In the affidavit. Baringer said a witness, whom he did not identify but labeled as "Witness 1," was interviewed on Thursday, after several people told investigators he and the victim had been seen together on Sept. 23.
The witness told the FBI that Miller owned an assault rifle and that he and Miller had been at a home in the Miller Heights area of Warm Springs, and that Miller and Brown left the house together in a white car he learned belong to Brown.
Also on Thursday, the FBI agent said he interviewed Brown at the Warm Springs Police Department and that he "talked about the incident and eventually confessed to shooting Jonas Miller, as well as discarding evidence of the crime."
Baringer said that "Brown gave many inconsistent and contradictory versions of events," but eventually laid 0ut a sequence of events, which began with Jonas Miller flagging him down in the Elliot Heights area and asking for a ride back to his home on Mount Jefferson Drive.
Along the way, Brown told the FBI agents Miller had asked if he wanted to buy a rifle that he was selling," but that such talk made Brown nervous – since as a convicted felon, he's not allowed to own guns.
The FBI agent said Brown told him he'd parked in the driveway while Miller went in and retrieved an AK-47-type rifle with a folding stock, offering to sell it for $300. Brown said he only had $50, but gave it to Miller, agreeing to pay him the rest after pay day.
Brown said he drove back to a home in Elliott Heights, where Miller got out briefly and askied a few people if they wanted to buy one of his other guns.
Brown told FBI agents he then drove out to the area of County Line Road to test-fire the gun. But on the way there, Brown claimed Miller pointed the rifle at his head and reminded him of an altercation they'd been in years before. With the stereo turned up, he said he could not hear if Miller was pulling the trigger.
When they got to the destination, Brown told FBI agents they got out and Miller handed Brown the rifle.
"Brown said he thought he remembered a magazine being loaded into the rifle," the FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. "Brown pointed the rifle at the back of Miller's head and pulled the trigger. The rifle fired, and Miller fell on the ground."
"Brown claimed that the shooting was an accident, and 'he didn't know if (the rifle) was loaded or not,'" Baringer wrote.
Afterward, Brown said he looked on the ground, picked up the spent bullet casing and left, throwing it out of his car while driving home.
The FBI agent said Brown told him he contacted his cousin the next morning, gave him the rifle and asked him to "get rid of it." But apparently he didn't, as Baringer said Warm Springs police contacted Brown's cousin on Thursday, and he turned the rifle over to them.

First team postponed but reserves win
Wolves Women's game against Bradford City on Sunday fell victim to a waterlogged pitch at Castlecroft Stadium. However, the Reserves managed to get their game on at Bentley Leisure Pavilion, and put in an excellent performance, running out 4-0 winners against Loughborough Students Reserves.
Goals for Jade Cross, Chloe Dodd (2) and Aimee Higgins cemented Wolves' fourth consecutive win under new manager Alex Owens and they now sit at the top of the Midlands Reserve League table.
Dodd, pictured, impressed in her debut appearance for the first team in their League Cup victory over Leeds and she will have hoped to have further impressed first team manager Trevor Mullings who was at the Reserve game.
Meanwhile, the first team are still looking for their first league win, and will be hoping for a reversal in fortunes when they entertain Stoke City at Castlecroft next Sunday 20th October.
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the game will be dubbed a "pink football match," with the players wearing pink T-shirts for their warm-up in support of the Pink Ribbon Foundation.
The T-shirts are sponsored by NCP - an official supporter of the Pink Ribbon Foundation.
Susan Winmill, cluster manager of NCP, says: "We're so pleased to be working with both Wolves and the Pink Ribbon Foundation. We hope that the pink football match will create more awareness for the charity and that people will dig deep for the event. Wolverhampton Wanderers are also partners of ours and have been tremendously supportive of the charity. Fingers crossed the pink T-shirts prove to be lucky for the Wolves' game."
The game will be played at Castlecroft Stadium, Castlecroft Road, Wolverhampton, WV3 8NA with a 2pm kick-off.
Admission is £2, Concessions £1 (under 5s free), or £1 for Wolves season ticket holders if you bring your season ticket. NCP staff will be collecting for the Pink Ribbon Foundation at the game.

Top 10: Kim Jong Un photos
9:56 AM Wednesday Dec 4, 2013
It was in late 2010, following his father's death, that Kim Jong Un was viewed as heir apparent to the leadership of the North Korean nation. The country's state television network announced him as the "Great Successor" and the first image the world ever saw of him as an adult was released. The North Korean government vowed 'with bleeding tears' to follow Jong Un, and has taken great care to promote him as an 'outstanding leader,' releasing photos to the North Korean people, and the world, accordingly. Here are our top ten picks of Kim Jong Un photos, as released by the North Korean government.

"Yakitori" is a Japanese word that literally means "grilled bird," a reference to chicken bits on skewers in a sticky/salty sauce. The sauce itself is so favored that it has come to be known as "yakitori." Here we make yakitori with scallops, mushrooms and scallions. Don't overcook the scallops; just a few minutes over the heat will do the trick.

Serves 2
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 75 min.
Step 1
Combine soy sauce, sake (or wine), mirin, sugar, molasses, Worcestershire and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, pour into a medium bowl, and cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Reserve 1 tablespoon of the sauce in a small bowl. Add scallops and mushrooms to the remaining sauce; stir well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (but no longer: the scallops will begin to break down if marinated too long).
Step 3
Preheat grill to medium. Oil the grill rack (see Tip).
Step 4
Trim scallion whites and reserve for another use. Separate the scallion greens into individual long greens. Wrap one scallion green around the perimeter of each scallop and thread the scallops onto the skewers, piercing through the sides and thereby keeping the scallions in place. Alternate 4 mushroom halves and 3 scallion-wrapped scallops on each skewer. (Reserve any remaining scallion greens for another use.)
Step 5
Grill the skewers, basting with some of the ?reserved sauce, for 3 minutes. Turn, baste, and continue grilling just until the scallops are firm and opaque, about 3 minutes more.
