I would like for support from the community to help us help a great cause. We are hosting a benefit at Marx Pioneer Inn on April 16th from 11am til ??. We will have tournements thoughout the day as well as raffles. We will be hearing music from Rock Solid from 4-8 (they are donating their time and voices) then from 9-midnight will be DJ Paul.
We are a family at the Pioneer and felt a need to help a 16 year old girl. Her name is Sarah Pease. However she goes by Sarah Strong because she would like to graduate from highschool and join the army. Sarah was diagnost with AML Leukemia a week before her 16th birthday. She attends highschool in Wauwatosa and was very active in school. She has never asked why she has this disease and remains stong. Her classmates have held bake sales and designed a t shirt that says "HOW STRONG? SARAH STRONG"
I met this young lady a few months before she was diagnosted and she lights up a room with her amazing smile.
She would like all the proceeds to go to help other children. Therefore we are donating all our proceeds to the Ronald Mcdonald House in Sarahs name.
If you would like to help us help Sarah and others stop by and show your support.
I feel that as a family we need to stick together and thats what Marx Pioneer Inn is a big famly that always has room for more.
Thank you
Jeanne Everhart

Mark Zuckerberg discusses Steve Jobs with Charlie Rose
PBS talk show host Charlie Rose recently interviewed Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg. The trio talked about a variety of topics including political policy, the engineering shortage and the goals of the Facebook platform. Of interest to Apple fans is a few short minutes that Zuckerberg spends talking about competition with Apple and his relationship with Steve Jobs.
Early in the conversation, Zuckerberg insists Apple and Amazon are more allies than competitors. He says, "When I look at Amazon and Apple and I see companies who are extremely aligned with us." Zuckerberg says he has talked with both companies about doing more together and claims they are open to that idea. He confirms that Facebook won't be making a tablet, but does want to have a presence on other companies' tablets.
Zuckerberg also talks about his time with Steve Jobs. The Facebook CEO says he sought out Jobs for advice, asking him about building a team and a company around your vision. A portion of the interview focuses on the possibility of Apple buying Facebook, a suggestion Zuckerberg repeatedly says was never brought up by Jobs.
The 50-minute interview is available on Rose's website. The Apple-related discussion begins at the 20-minute mark and Zuckerberg's reminiscence of his interactions with Steve Jobs can be found 30 minutes into the conversation.

African Cats(2011)A nature documentary centered on two cat families and how they teach their cubs the ways of the wild. For more about African Cats and the African Cats Blu-ray release, see African Cats Blu-ray Review published by Kenneth Brown on October 3, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Narrators: Samuel L. Jackson, Patrick Stewart Directors: Alastair Fothergill, Keith Scholey » See full cast & crew African Cats Blu-ray, Video QualityDisney's 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer is a beautifully rendered beast that captures every strand of hair, blade of high grass and distant wildebeest in a thousand-strong herd with spectacular clarity. Colors are warm and natural, black cheetah spots and sunbeat shadows are deep and satisfying, and the plains of the Savannah are brimming with suitably baked (at-times inherently bleached) earthtones, be it by way of a muddy river bank, rustling tree leaves or bristling mane. Detail is also quite extraordinary and hardly a shot goes by that doesn't revel in finely textured fur, crisp underbrush and sharp, wonderfully defined edges. Moreover, it all comes to glorious high definition life without any ringing, aliasing or smearing to speak of. Nighttime scenes are few and far between, yes, but those that find their way into the mix suffer from the usual oddities associated with under-cloak-of-darkness documentary camerawork (increased noise, reduced clarity and the like). And I did notice the slightest hint of banding. But nothing else about the presentation left in me in anything less than complete awe. I can't imagine African Cats and its jaw-dropping photography looking any better than it does here. African Cats Blu-ray, Audio QualityWhile African Cats is, for all intents and purposes, a more traditional documentary that hinges on seemingly omnipresent narration, Disney's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track and the subsequent soundfield it creates boasts a surprising fullness; an untamed realism that rarely falters. Samuel L. Jackson's voice is strong and well-centered throughout, no matter how much hushed intensity he brandishes. The rear speakers embrace the difficult lives of the lions and cheetahs as well; desperate mothers careen through wind-whipped grass, lionesses bear down on fleeing zebras in a fantastic display of deadly channel-to-channel speed and ferocity, herds of wildebeest thunder past and pour in from every direction, cubs roll and frolic across the soundstage, and the rising murmur of the Savannah surrounds the listener at almost every turn. Directional effects aren't astonishing but they are convincing (Sita's search for her missing cubs is worth the price of admission alone), pans are slick and stealthy, and dynamics are quite impressive on the whole. The LFE channel is given plenty of opportunity to pull its weight and does so with tremendous ease. Hooves shake the ground, roars dominate, a violent storm earns its keep, surging rivers sound rightfully dangerous, Nicholas Hooper's score has a hearty kick, and each lion hunt and showdown is a powerful sonic show-stealer. Suffice it to say, African Cats' lossless mix doesn't disappoint. African Cats: Other Editions

Date: July 2011Layoffs: 6,500Headcount before: 71,825 Headcount now: About 60,000Stock change: Up 10%
Cisco CEO John Chambers believes in cutting once and cutting deep.
In July 2011, he announced the biggest downsizing in the company's history: About 6,500 workers, or 9% of Cisco's staff, were handed pink slips.
Almost a year after the layoffs, Cisco's revenue has climbed about 7%, according to its most recent quarterly report. But this wasn't just a result of the staff reduction -- Chambers also cut expensive distractions like the company's camcorder business and refocused the company on its main moneymaker, computer networking equipment.

- Glass Magazine - PowerAutumn 2011 - Issue 7 - Vincent Cassel
- Power is as elusive as it is potent. If one pushes too hard, power swiftly triggers resentment. But abdicating power is as much a travesty as abusing it. For our current issue, Glass has invited some of the world's most powerful names across film, stage, fashion, art, photography and architecture to explore this ever timely and contentious theme and to describe what gives them a feeling of power.
In an ironic play on the ancient power struggle between the sexes, we proudly present our first male cover, cinematic icon Vincent Cassel. Since his breakthrough debut in Mathieu Kassovitz's 1992 cult classic La Haine, Cassel has been a tour de force, achieving the rare feat of uniting art house acclaim with Hollywood success.
In honour of the power of the photograph we ask three of the world's most renowned photojournalists, Charles Harbutt, Stephen Shames and Steve McCurry to talk us through the fascinating journeys which led them to take the haunting and enduring images which have shed light on some of the most difficult political and social issues facing the world today. We explore the voracious movement of postmodernism and how it never truly died, and in fashion, photographer Trunk Xu shoots the Autumn women's collections in Beijing's opulent Ritz-Carlton, Jason Hetherington previews the best menswear from the catwalks and John Spinks pays tribute to the enduring style of the dandy.
In muse, Jeff Wall, largely credited as the man who introduced photography into the realm of art, explains why we must never try to categorise. Inspirational virtuoso pianist Alice Sara Ott gives her thoughts on the power of music and fearless architect Massimiliano Fuksas speaks about the social power of conciliatory design. And we proudly showcase a previously unpublished series of striking images taken during the heart of the Tunisian revolution in our study of the history of uprisings and how, whilst hegemony will come and go, power ultimately lies within our hearts and minds. We only have to find the strength to use it.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's on Friday downgraded the credit rating of the United States, stripping the world's largest economy of its prized AAA status. S&P downgrades U.S. credit rating - Aug. 5, 2011
They wanted to see a grand bargain, and they didn't. They wanted to see maturity in getting there, and they saw hostage taking. Sounds like if the pubbies would have taken yes for an answer and grover norquist weren't running their party, it wouldn't have happened. Good on the administration for pushing back at S&P - but we'll see what the markets think about the credit black eye. Do actual investors think the U.S. is less safe just cuz S&P says it's less safe? Stay tuned.
Just saw Bachmann stumping on how the S&P downgrade was all about Obama's "failed economic policies." Evidently she didn't read the S&P release either... sort of like believing that the founding fathers were fighting against slavery and the Revolution began in New Hampshire...
Obama is the boss. More Dead Troops And The Anti War Crowd Is Silent (bush haters) News from The Associated Press
The White House spin doctors can come and throw treats to the willing media lap dogs and the true believers. But no amount of spin can change the fact that it's the first downgrade in over 100 years and it's on Obama's watch. It is what it is. I wonder if he now regrets killing a probable deal with the Speaker by coming in and demanding $400 in new taxes at the last moment.
I agree with the first part of what you say, but I also think the fact is that what you are delivering is the message the Republicans wanted all along. The reality is that the Republicans engaged in sabotage to increase their chances in 2012. They delayed and opted to solve nothing, rather than give the economy a boost and Obama the credit. Whether or not their cynicism will pay off depends on the Obama campaign's response and the state of the economy as the election approaches.
No, the liberals are not silent at all. In fact they are quite vocal and Obama's approval has dropped significantly among liberals. They are certainly vastly more vocal than the Bush crowd was when he was creating record deficits and making a mess of the economy. There are liberals like me who at this point will not contribute to the Obama campaign if the Republicans choose a bland Republican like Romney.
Excerpts from the press release: http://blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat/2011/08/05/sp-downgrades-u-s-debt-rating-press-release/ (Excerpts selected by ThinkProgress.Org, but the above link is to the S&P press release.) [...]The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as AmericaŌĆÖs governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed. The statutory debt ceiling and the threat of default have become political bargaining chips in the debate over fiscal policy. [...]It appears that for now, new revenues have dropped down on the menu of policy options. [...]The act contains no measures to raise taxes or otherwise enhance revenues, though the committee could recommend them. [...]Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012, remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act.
One interesting feature is that they're doing to the U.S. -- because of our recent hostage-taking -- what they've been doing to "less stable" nations forever. That is, they're judging how our political issues interact with our economic outlook. Why do you think China doesn't have the AAA rating? They're typically an "A" behind across the three credit services. It's not because they're in debt, it's because their political system is inherently less stable, because there is always the possibility that they'll lurch back away from markets, and because of the extent of their currency manipulation. They're grading our political childishness on a par with totalitarian regimes that can turn heavy-handed at any moment, and on a par with tinpot dictatorships that can be overthrown. In other words, you can't rely on the U.S. to solve its problems, because you have idiots taking hostages and threatening not to pay the bills for theatrical purposes. Come on people. Demanding a constitutional amendment as part of a housekeeping task? That ain't gonna fly. They're also disappointed that there were no tax increases... in other words, that we're not mature enough to understand that if you run up your bills that you pay those bills. And the bills have been run up already. The pubbie Rx is prospectively idiotic as well. Ideas like "shut down the department of this the department of that and the bureau of this that and the other," without thinking through the consequences, is not fiscal policy. It's stump speeches by other means. Previously, we had the type of mature democracy that could responsibly manage our debt by applying sound fiscal principles. Even the toxic prescriptions of the right, based on fringe economic "ideas", at least had long fuses on them, enough room to realize (over and over again,) just how wrong they are. Since '10, we've had a minority of a party that took control of one house of Congress stomping their feet and demanding that Grover Norquist be placated. S&P sees that people... well right now, Moody's and Fitch aren't following suit. Again, we'll see what the markets say Monday. pFnV
Patters, I don't know how you figured that. I know that's the talking points from the left wing, but it does not add up. OK, the congress submitted 3 plans that we know of. Obama submitted none. All he did was whine and point fingers. Every single thing he did was politics. If you want "compromise" one side submits a plan, then the other side submits a plan, then you negotiate. It's hard to negotiate when no plan is submitted by the other side. I take no joy in any of this and both parties could have done a better job. the final debt ceiling deal was smoke and mirrors. If these people don't get really serious about this the economy will tank more. This is an opportunity if they can just agree on the following: 1. Hold the rate of growth of the federal gov to 1 or 2%. This will mean cutting programs but there are many that don't work. This may even mean repeal of Obamacare and the huge price tag that we cannot afford. 2. Scrap the present tax code and get rid of loopholes that only CPA's can figure out. Put in a flat tax and stop this stupid class warfare. A small national sales tax would be added. it's not that hard if they can put the interest of the people of the country ahead of their own political interest.
Obama submitted a plan in February, and then endorsed the bipartisan Gang of Six plan. That was a reasonable starting point for negotiations involving both revenue increases and budget cuts. Initially, Boehner did try to negotiate, but the Tea Party refused to budge from the idea of cuts without revenues. That was the obstacle, and remained the obstacle throughout. We'll see the exact same scenario play out in November.
The Obama 'plan' did noting to reduce spending and reform entitlements, that's why it was rejected by a 97-0 vote. The Senate hasn't passed a budget for 2010 or 2011 FY, they still haven't starting the process of passing a FY 2012 budget. 2 possibilites, IMO 1 This is political stunt, due to Dodd/Frank the credit ratings agencies are under the control of the Bankng committees. If a political party wanted to use the credit rating as a political weapon, putting pressure on a CR agency would be a powerful tool. 2 IT became clear that no serious attempt was being to reform our unsustainable entitlement programs, taxes and everything else doesn't matter if the entitlements had been dealt with. If Obama had embraced the Ryan plan there would have been no downgrade, as it is we are currently committed to a 9T increase in our debt over the next 10 years.
If the House had embraced they Obama plan, there would have been no downgrade. It's a political stunt because the Republican House would not accept the Gang of Six proposal as a starting point, which did attempt to address our entitlement programs. (And by the way, I think the Gang of Six's proposal is terrible.) The fact is the Tea Party even angered several Republican Senators with their flat-out objection to new tax revenues. Also, I don't see how the credit rating drop benefits Obama.
I was ready to click Like ... and then I saw Romney at the end ... and sorry ... that ruined it for me. :bricks: Please ... no Romney as POTUS.
Actually Obama endorsed the gang of six because he knew it would die in the Senate ... it had no chance in the Senate and he knew it.
Romney blows whichever way the wind blows. If he's president, and people clamor for more Medicare, he'll support more Medicare; if the people clamor for more abortion rights, he'll support abortion rights. He's a spineless, immoral person, and if he was the nominee, I'd rather focus my donations on Congresspeople and Senators than on President.
It would have passed the Senate, but not the House. It was a sincere effort by a combination of conservatives, moderates, and liberals to reach an agreement on deficit reduction.
I'm fine with our country being less predictable... I somehow read that as our leaders cant be corrupted and therefore... We punish. Like it or not, I love the T party shaking up the status quo. we are the largest economy by far in the world... F what anyone else says, go invest in dubai...

Long-time gamer, aspiring writer, and frequent bearer of an afro. As an eternal optimist, I like to both look on the bright side of things and see the better parts of games; as a result, I love a game with a good story and awesome characters...and anything that lets me punch the heresy out of my enemies.
I'm a big fan of Atlus' games, and I've enjoyed my fair share of fighters and RPGs. Just...please, keep Final Fantasy XIII out of my sight. It never ends well for anyone involved.
You can check out some of my game musinga/stories/random stuff at my other blog, Cross-Up. I've also got a TV Tropes thingamajig, and I'm trying to get some freelance work going. Among other things. Like a web serial novel. And getting books published. If ever there was a time for the world to learn the joys of ghost-punching, this is it.

Devil Survivor 2 is secretly brilliant.
on 05.29.2014
Don't worry, I'll explain -- as I'm wont to do.
Theres a question thats been on my mind for a while now. It should go without saying, but in this day and age were fortunate enough to be a society with full, often-instant access to media. Weve had books, movies, and TV for decades (books especially, for obvious reasons), but it doesnt take much effort to get more of that with a few button presses or key strokes. Maybe not even that, if youve got some kind of voice recognition system straight out of
The Jetsons
. Or just an Xbox One, apparently.
So in addition to books, movies, and TV, we can practically turn our heads and gain access to video games, comics, anime, and web-based content that no one would have dreamed could be interesting (whod ever want to watch someone else play a game, amirite?). This generation -- and the next, and the next -- is going to be able to observe and draw influence from myriad sources. Thats how it should be. Each new generation should overtake the old.
Still, I cant help but wonder: is it going to be acceptable to like those myriad forms of media, especially if it means trying to become legitimate? I mean, lets use me as an example. I want to be a writer, and Im ready to put in the work to do so -- but I would be lying out my ass if I said video games didnt have an influence on me. And as the days pass, Im getting more into (or being corrupted by, if you prefer) the various
Kamen Rider
installments. So if I or anyone else wanted to be a creative tour de force, would those things hamper our chances? Our legitimacy?
Id like to think that thats not the case. The creators skills should speak for themselves, in an ideal world. And while its true that video games dont exactly have the highest regard, assuming that theyre all mindless gore-fests played by (and pioneered by) screaming, Doritos-stained racists would be like assuming every movie is something not even Michael Bay would put on the screen. Video games are going to become a medium that is DEFINITIVELY art, not just arguably -- if it hasnt already, at least. That much is obvious.
Ive heard the argument that right now, games are in an awkward transitional phase. And I agree with that; the past few generations have proven that the industry has -- or has long since had -- the potential to make compelling stories, unforgettable characters, dynamic worlds, and more.
But at the same time, weve seen just how bad things can get. There are games that assert their legitimacy, but there are plenty of others -- maybe too many -- that do the opposite. They try, but stumble and fail. Or maybe they dont try at all. Or maybe the minds behind them just arent up to it. Or maybe theyd just rather try to ape the style and successes of the film industry which strikes me as giving up, but whatever.
If this new console generation is going to prove its worth, then its going to be by way of developers learning from past mistakes. Theyll realize that the new hardware and the power within demand more than just better visuals or slight remixes on gameplay. That power needs to be used responsibly, and thoroughly. Case in point:
Infamous: Second Son
has been in gamer hands for a while now, and given
its bizarrely-segued presentation last year
, I expected a full capitalization on the ideas and topics therein. It didnt deliver.
The game was an opportunity to do more than just pare down complex issues on personal freedoms and government intervention into Im a rebel, youre the establishment! Youre mean and you suck! FREEDOM RULES! But the events therein -- up to and including the final boss, which I swear is better-suited for a Disney movie than a quasi-serious investigation of current issues -- struck me as a farce. I dont think Im asking for much when I say I want games that can tackle deeper issues without devolving into dour grit-fests and gormless, hyper-simplified fantasies.
Why? Because Ive already had everything I want -- everything -- in
Devil Survivor 2
Let me explain. You see -- oh, wait. Hold on.
For never was a story of more woe
Than this, of SPOILERS and her MORE SPOILERS!
(Side note: dont watch the
anime. Its awful and completely misses the point of the game. But for this posts sake Im going to use images as needed.)
There we go. Now, whats the story behind
? Its fairly simple, actually. Youre a high school student hot off preparing for exams, and heading home with your buddy Daichi. As you head for the subway, you run into the school idol, Io. Just as Daichi tries to get in close to Io, you all get mail on your cell phones -- apparently, from the Nicaea site youve all heard rumors about. Lo and behold, it does just what a dead face delivery site is supposed to do: it shows a clip of the three of you dying brutal deaths. And in the same subway station youve just entered.
Thankfully, the three of you manage to avert grisly fates, but only for a moment; youre attacked by demons, and while you handle them with relative ease, thats the worst of your problems. You head topside to find Tokyo in absolute ruins, with communications almost immediately cut off. What unfolds is a multi-day struggle to survive, dealing with rioters, the mysterious organization JPs (rhymes with chips), and of course the Septentriones -- extremely powerful creatures that are more or less incomprehensible genocidal -- and vaguely geometric -- aliens.
In order to explain why the
Devil Survivor
games have good stories, I have to briefly (and controversially) explain why the year-old
had a terrible story. One of the things that bugged me about it -- and the root of many of its storyline problems, Id bet -- is that it all feels empty. Shallow. Incomplete. Its a fat load of telling, but not nearly enough showing for the kind of story -- the kind of game it needed to be. It aimed high, but dragged itself through the earths crust from start to finish. Action game or not, you cant hide behind that excuse if your PR touted being ready to revolutionize storytelling.
Think about it. Were told that a demon-produced soft drink is enslaving mankind, but were never shown in what capacity. Were told that the demons are watching our every move and have a hand in every entertainment outlet, but we get maybe fifteen seconds of capitalization on that idea. We never learn the impact of demon control, or the status of humanity, or the aftereffects of both the heroes and the villains actions until maybe the last hour of the game; its a story that demanded narrative focus and a smaller scale. But because the camera was so far up Dontes ass, we never got to see anything that would have made the setting more than a multi-million dollar backdrop.
Compare that to
Devil Survivor 2
, despite appearing on the criminally-underpowered DS. For starters, the world actually feels like one thats lived in, because there are actually other characters besides the main cast. Granted the main cast is pretty large, but the presence of extras is one that lends credibility to the whole the world is coming to an end angle, because its through their fear and panic that we players know that things are getting bad.
If youll let me borrow a phrase from the
Zero Punctuation
lexicon, whats important to note about the
isnt that humanity is fucked, and certainly not pre-fucked from the moment you turn on the game. Things start out normal and degrade over the course of about a week (barring some backstory shenanigans that make the games events possible). What this means is that we have some twenty hours of game time to see things go from all green to OH MY GOD DEMONS EVERYWHERE YO and appreciate the difference between the two states.
Let me put it this way: in
Gears of War
, humanity is already in a bad spot, and the planet is essentially wrecked; the COGs are just trying to prevent a bad situation from getting worse. Thats not necessarily a bad trait to give your setting, but there are problems; the effectiveness and malleability of your setting are capped. Where do you go from the world is wrecked? Gears answer is Well obviously, you just wreck the world even more!
Its a possible answer, but its not automatically the best; its an artificial way to raise the tension, considering that outside of a few instances the world is pretty much just a backdrop for firefights. My basic argument is this: how are we supposed to care about a world thats already destroyed and get only occasional glimpses at life in this war-torn world? And
has a similar problem as
: the focus is put on people who cant be bothered to dwell on or help color the world, because theyre too busy being snarky superhumans.
Not so with
(and the first
by extension, but lets focus on game two). The degradation that takes place over the week is almost palpable. People -- office workers, gang members, schoolgirls, merchants, and even cops -- start abusing the summoning app just to survive. They may be using what's essentially Pokemon for Satan enthusiasts, but the fantastic elements still ring true in the context and affect of the in-game world -- itself a portrait of the real world in a what-if scenario.
Food and medicine run low, demanding skirmishes in the middle of a street. Power outages beget civilians gathering into shelters and parks, which beget mass demon attacks and of course, more riots. The SDF quarantines a hefty part of Tokyo, and will go so far as to shoot anyone who tries to escape. And throughout all of this, you get to see people from all walks of life react to -- and collapse because of -- the disaster.
Its not just NPCs that are reacting to the disasters you face; its your party members, too. Some of them are just one event away from crumbling (and in
case, some of them leap over the line, to the point of committing suicide or enacting some very messy vigilante justice). Characters start to question their world and themselves, with past mistakes and decisions rearing their ugly heads in the face of adversity and certain death.
Oppression tracks these people no matter where they turn, either from external sources, internal struggles, divides between one party member and the next, and good ol fashioned horrific hellspawn from realms unimaginable. I dont know about you, but I prefer a cast that reacts to things -- the world or otherwise -- instead of a cast that well, doesnt.
I'm trying not to dump hate on every other game in the universe here, guys. So let's just have a picture of Deneb from
Kamen Rider Den-O
and move on. Dude's got guns for fingers. You can't beat that.
So do you remember those Septentriones I mentioned earlier? Theyre in the employ of the worlds administrator, Polaris -- and having believed that humanity has lost its will to live, Polaris decides to erase everything. So at the end of the game, youre going up against the guy who makes and maintains the world -- but this isnt exactly the easy-breezy act of deicide youd expect from most JRPGs. One ending suggests that by killing Polaris, the damage done to the world can never, ever be repaired. Whats left of humanity is all youll ever get, and youll just have to deal with it. Rebuild society and all that.
By the way, that damage done to the world? Its not just demons and alien-type things smashing buildings. Polaris has been erasing the world by having it sucked into a spreading black nothingness nicknamed The Void. Kill him, and The Void goes away to be replaced by nothing but a sprawling ocean.
And The Void has pretty much sucked up everything but a small section of Japan.
Better call Kevin Costner.
But you know what? Honestly? I actually think thats one of the best things I could have hoped for. See, the first ending I got -- the Liberator route with Daichi, I believe its called -- is a cop-out. Its the quintessential third option, where a small portion of the cast branches off to find a new path; that is, they dont want to resort to extremes to create a new world, and certainly not by way of demonic urban warfare. So they opt to march up to Polaris throne and take out the administrator (who, much like the Septentriones, looks like a geometric nightmare creature) on the grounds that a world free from the control of some inhuman administrator trumps anything else.
Speaking on a long-term level, it might work. Somewhere along the line, humanity might gain enough strength and wisdom to rebuild a world forcibly left as 99.999999999% water. But in the short-term, its a remarkably shitty idea -- not only is there a currently-capped amount of resources and supplies, but the ending heavily implies that theres now no god of sorts to protect you from danger. So if theres anything out there even nastier (i.e. a key enemy in a potential
), theyd better hope that the last remnants of society are up to the task.
Its a harrowing ending -- bittersweet and not necessarily heralding the end of humanity, but the implications are there. Still, the reason that I call it a cop-out is because, in many ways, thats what it is. The route is the third option, a medium between extremes. Its something there that I think appeals to the player sensibilities; its the most peaceable path (relatively speaking), and one that upholds peace and the status quo instead of drastically changing the world. And maybe thats its biggest problem.
being a video game, taking a third option is as simple as picking your endgame route from a menu. Its all too easy to assume that its a right, not a privilege.
But in a real-world context, what if there WASNT a third option?
What if, in spite of good intentions and a desire to avoid hurting the feelings of friends -- or just hurting them in general -- opting for a different path wasnt just difficult, but outright
? Daichi and his supporters end up getting called out for being so naïve and childish -- and while the oldest member of the cast is a hoary twenty-six, theres some semblance of a point in there.
Even if there was a third option, Daichis lets not fight, lets just be friends, and lets turn everything back to normal drive comes off as simple-minded and dangerous by the time he proposes it doubly so because its a course sorely lacking in vision, and Daichi himself cant define it beyond cowardly mutterings. Given that they only have two or three days max by that point to save the world, its understandable that a good two-thirds of the cast writes him off.
So what are the other two options? Well the simplest way to put it is that theyre extreme.
In the blue corner, representing order, we have Ronaldo Kuriki. Hes a detective, and a passionate one at that; ignoring the fact that most of his sprites/assets have him expressing some sort of indignation, hes the one most likely to start shouting about fighting in the name of justice (in an aw, bless your heart sort of way). But make no mistake, hes serious about his goals.
In the face of adversity and a country being completely dismantled by demons and invaders, he starts pulling together dislocated peoples and forming a sort of allied force. His ultimate goal (once he finds out Polaris exists)? To have the administrator remake the world in his image -- that is, to create a world of equality, where everyone works together and supports one another without question. Simply put -- in the games terms, at least -- its egalitarianism.
(That bunny hood is why you
watch the anime.)
Common decency suggests that if players dont choose Daichis route, Ronaldos is the next in line. But whats important to note is that for all his good intentions, Ronaldo is well, hes more or less a terrorist. The people he brings to his side? Theyre rioters -- and many if not all of them are rioters thanks to Ronaldos orders. He's used his charisma and force of will to put together a band of vulnerable, desperate people; there's something scary about a guy like that, independent of his ability to summon demons.
Hell gladly break into government offices and steal data, willingly killing anyone that gets in his way. He has good intentions, but its likely that none of them would have been sparked if not for his own quest for vengeance; hes out for blood, and the very idea of compromise has never occurred to him. So hes not exactly a good guy and his ending isnt 100% ideal.
And in the red corner (ironically) representing chaos, we have Yamato Hotsuin. Yamato is probably one of the most inexplicable characters Ive encountered in a while -- hes the head of the secret government agency JPs in spite of being only seventeen. Hes not only a genius, but also the heir to a clan that can harness the supreme energy known as the Dragon Stream. Hes an unfortunately gray-haired teenager (though not the first Atlus hero to have such colorless locks).
But no matter his status, his goal is clear: to use his resources and his organization, one well-versed in demon summoning, to rebuild Japan. Except Yamato has no intention of restoring the status quo; hes out to create a new Japan, one where the strongest and wisest will rule and be rewarded, while the weak will suffer. He wants a meritocracy, and hell do anything to get it.
Its easy to label Yamato as extreme, but in the end thats probably the best description of both his actions and his goals. If not for his commands and his JPs peons, its likely that a lot of the games conflicts wouldnt have happened. Theyre hoarding food and medical supplies for themselves, acting under the impression that they deserve it more than the average citizen. Thats actually kind of true, given that JPs is trying to fight off the demons and Septentrions with some success (and plenty of support for the main cast). So even if its not the ideal situation, it is a cruel truth that has to be accepted.
But the cruelty doesnt end there. Theyre not above using force to suppress rioters -- rioters taking on a VERY loose definition in several instances -- and using flimsy justifications at most moments. Also, for a group that one would think would be the best Japan has to offer, more often than not JPs agents arent much more durable than the common redshirt. And really, do I need to say anything about the nastiness behind a meritocracy? Im pretty sure I dont -- but in case you need a bit more evidence, just imagine a guy who looks like this deciding how the world is remade and youre halfway there.
(But not Anime Yamato. He's such a shitass.)
Whats important to remember is that neither Yamatos meritocracy nor Ronaldos egalitarianism are treated as absolute right answers. Supporters of each ideal (i.e. your party members) will poke holes in both and theyll do so even if theyre on the side they want to be on. Take Joe, for example. Its established almost immediately after meeting him that hes a scatterbrained fool, someone who Yamato only tolerates because hes a solid demon tamer. Over the course of the story, though, Joe reveals a certain savvy that makes him wiser than he appears, if only slightly so.
More importantly, its highly probable that Joe was working alongside Ronaldo, gathering and stealing supplies to give to hospitals -- no doubt the same hospital where his sick girlfriend resides. No small wonder, then, that Joe decides to partner up with Ronaldo when the party splinters; Joe knows hell be the first to get the ax in Yamatos new world, and hes seen the good work Ronaldos done with his own eyes. But its Joe of all people who wonders the loudest if Ronaldos world is any good, either -- and I can see why that wouldnt work. (The fact that the real world has yet to adopt an utterly-equal society is a hint in its own right.)
But Id argue that whos right and whos wrong isnt the point. DeSu2 is asking you a series of questions. One of them is obvious: Do you think this new world of Yamatos/Ronaldos/Daichis could work? And the other one is How do you rebuild a broken world?
The second question is one that I want fiction -- games, especially -- to answer more readily. Look, weve all seen something related to zombies at this point in our lives, and we all know that the real danger (and draw) of the stories is the degradation of society. Humanity is the real monster, we live for chaos, et cetera, et cetera. Part of the appeal is seeing everything weve built either torn down or abandoned -- and while its not exclusive to zombie fiction, it IS an incredibly commonplace idea throughout fiction (again, the fact that Yahtzee of
Zero Punctuation
used the phrase humanity is fucked to describe multiple games is a pretty marked signal). But in my eyes, thats not enough. Not anymore. Not in the wake of plenty of solid games.
Gears of War 3
ended with the Locusts and immulsion completely erased; Anya consuls a grieving Marcus and tells him that theres still hope left this, in spite of their planet Sera being utterly wrecked. So youd expect for them to start showing how theyd rebuild their shattered world, right? Nope. Not even an epilogue; it just fades to black with no justification of the hope Anya suggests.
If you couple that with the fact that Gears of War Judgment is a prequel, it becomes incredibly obvious that the franchise is comfortable with wading in the humanity is fucked end of the pool. You could make the same argument about
; it was all too eager to tell us that the world was in sorry shape, but when it came time for genuine reform, all we got was a shot of a smoldering city before -- you guessed it -- fading to black.
The first
was all too eager to show how society went from all right to all ruined -- the key difference being that putting an end to the disaster was intertwined with creating a safer and/or better world by games end. But
manages to take it a step further, letting it be more than just a rehash of
as well as carving its own niche. Putting an end to the havoc is a big part of the story, as expected, but saving the world in this case means more than beating the bad guy. In fact, in a lot of ways the struggle to decide how the world will be rebuilt is more important than beating the bad guys. And rightly so.
Theres no right answer to the question of whether a merit system, equality, or restoring the status quo should reign supreme. Like I said, thats part of the point. You, the player, have the chance to decide for yourself what the right answer will be. There are faults with each system, but there are positives and benefits as well; even if it takes you a playthrough or two to realize that, you may end up agreeing with Yamato after seeing the game through to the end with Ronaldo.
Although, to be honest, I think there IS an answer to be had. Not an immediately obvious one, of course, but a subtle one. The true answer may very well lie in two qualities -- those belonging to a single person or rather, the proxy of a single person.
What are they? Well, Ill be sure to explain in full -- next time. Hold on to your Jack Frosts, guys; next time, well get in deeper with
. And next time, I wont just do slack-jawed gushing.
So...what's the tl;dr takeaway from this post? Play
so you can be a cool guy.

The PS2 and PSP games felt slightly scaled back from the 360/PS3, with fewer destructible objects or enemies in any one moment. But both maintained a fluid sense of battle, maintaining the visceral thrill of the Force powers. With the game's September 16 release, PS2 and PSP gamers will find a kinetic action title suited to their systems.
Unlike the DS version, the PS2 and PSP games include lots of objects and enemies to destroy. I constantly had crates, barrels, wall panels, and other set dressings to lob at my foes, or slice up with my 'saber. In one of the small differences between these two versions, I had a better sense of my surroundings with the PS2, since the right analog stick nudged the camera. But the PSP game still moved smoothly, and the automatic camera tracked from behind my character, usually providing an effective view of what I needed. In both versions, I felt in control of my aim, throwing the light saber at enemies, or launching other attacks from a distance.
PSP extras, such as the historical missions, make that edition a good package. Those scenarios are lifted from climactic movie moments. As Vader, I fought Luke in the scene from The Empire Strikes Back, and as Luke, I clobbered henchmen over Jabba's sarlacc pit from Return of the Jedi. Five total scenes are included. And like the DS and Wii, the PSP also adds a duel mode between two local players. (I wasn't able to try this option.)
The PS2's user-controlable camera makes that game slightly more easy to steer than the PSP version. I panned my view as I rounded corners, to see what was coming up. But the automatic camera controls usually pointed where I looked.
While they felt scaled slightly back from the 360/PS3 version, the PS2/PSP editions of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed still packed destructive action. Force fans on those systems will get a complete-feeling game without having to upgrade to a stronger console. The title releases on September 16.

Recent reviews:
March 23, 2014 - These earrings are very well made & have the most beautiful hue of turquoise. The unique silver designs that are on the top and bottom of these earrings really makes the turquoise stand out. I love turquoise and so happen to own a number of pieces of jewelry. What I love most about turquoise is that no two stones are the same. The color, texture, & "natures" imperfections are what make these stones so unique. I am glad that the material of the french hooks is surgical steel. It is apparent that the designer Cheryl Sirkus is not cutting any corners. Impressive. I recommend these earrings. They are a must have.
March 9, 2014 - These are wonderful earrings. I live in the American Southwest and have many sterling silver jewelry items. The quality of these earrings is excellent and they go with so many of my clothes and the jewelry I have. Thanks again for offering an excellent piece of jewelry at such an incredibly low price.
January 10, 2014 - I gave these earrings as a present. She was happy with the earrings, and I was surprised at the quality considering the low price.
June 6, 2013 - These are beautiful earrings and look exactly like they are pictured. The silver adornment makes them stand out and they go with many different colored apparel items. I sometimes like to use them in contrast to my tops. They work well that way as well. These earrings compliment just about anything you wear with them. Good bargain, very nice. You'll love them!
April 23, 2013 - Purchased these earrings in March 2013. They are exactly as pictured, The stones are light weight, the design is simple and the french hooks are just the right length. They were reasonably priced plus contributing to a very worthy program. Arrived quickly and were well packaged. Will look for other pieces by Cheryl Sirkus on this site.

In her studio set amidst the rolling hills and endless stretches of green vines in Sonoma Valley, long considered California's premier wine country, artist Cheryl Sirkus creates the pieces for her Sierra Sonoma jewelry line. Her pieces shine like reflections of the inspiration she gathers from the natural, subtle beauty of the region.
"This is truly an inspirational place to live and design," Cheryl says. Starting by sketching out ideas, she mindfully creates pieces to capture elegance and femininity in understated tones, selecting semi-precious stones and pearls to enhance the effect. "Simplicity and subtle designs are really my forte. I think the design and color should speak for itself."

Artist: Appearance Of Nothing
Album: All Gods Are Gone
Genre: Rock
I knew this day would come sometime
It's the moment to clip the cord
The ship leaves the homeport!
The first time we stand on our own feet
We have to prove that we are right
The right is might and the rules are tight
No said it would be easy
No one said it would be that hard
We are eager to please and do it right
It's our fight
No said it would be easy
No one said it would be that hard
We are eager to please and do it right
It's our fight
All ideas are trapped to ice
Follow the government's good advice
Every decision is like
We rub salt in the wound
Shall we trust in good like they tell us?
We have to play the scene
We're in a circus
We should guard our attitude like gold
The rules are given
The bets are made
The rules are given
Yes the bets are made
I cross my heart and I hope to die
I act with no intent, I never lie
How could it happen?
I'm chained in a system.
I cross my heart and I hope to die
I act with no intent, I never lie
I'm chained in a system.
Sometimes I don't know what's going on
It's like running out of time
And I don't know what's going on
That's not what I want
That's not what I want
Maybe I expect too much from me?
Maybe I misunderstood my destiny?
Maybe I am weak
And should stop for a while
Slow down and consider
Maybe close that file?
Maybe I expect too much from me?
Maybe I misunderstood my destiny?
Is it the line of the least resistance?
Is it the line required by law?
Is it my free will and is it my wish?
Or is it the society's rules I saw?
TV publicity describes my dream
Arouses my longing daily on screen
Of course I'm happy when I get that toy
Or have I been navigated like a boy?

Diels, Rudolf
Rudolf Diels, born on 16-12-1900 in Berghausen, Taunus, a cousin of Hermann Goering, was a German politician and SS Oberführer. A protégé of Hermann Goering. Diels was one of the group SA members who killed Albrecht "Ali" Höhler a criminal carpenter
see Wessel) on 23-02-1930. Diels was in charge of the Gestapo from 1933 to 1934. During the Second World War there were 45.000 members of the Gestapo. However, it is estimated they also employed 160.000 agents and informers. He served in the Army during World War I and when Adolf Hitler (see Adolf) (did you know) (see Alois Hitler) (see parents) (see William Hitler) came to power, Diels was head of the Prussian Political Police in Berlin, Josef Goebbels (see Goebbels) was the Gauleiter of Berlin. Goering (see Hermann Goering) (did you know) was made minister for Prussia in 1933 and was impressed with Diels' work and new commitment to the Nazi party. Goering appointed him as chief of the new Prussian state police department. On 27-02-1933 the Reichstag fire occurred, and Diels was the main interrogator of the principal accused, Marines van der Lubbe (see Lubbe) . He heard Hitler shouting through the fire "these sub-humans do not understand how the people stand at our side. In their mouse-holes, out of which they now want to come, of course they hear nothing of the cheering of the masses." He also ordered SS Gruppenführer Arthur Nebe to arrange the killing of Gregor Strasser in October 1933; ironically Strasser, age 42, was later killed during this night of the Long Knives in which Diels himself was almost killed. Nebe was sentenced to death by the Volksgericht, People's Court and according to official records, was executed in Berlin at Plötzensee Prison on 21-03-1945, age 50, by hanging with piano wire from a meat hook. Nebe was involved in various plots including the 20 July 1944, bomb plot against German dictator Adolf Hitler. Diels soon attracted the attention of political rivals including Heinrich Himmler (see Himmler) and Reinhard Heydrich (see Heydrich). Effectively smeared, he narrowly avoided, helped of Goering, execution during the Night of the Long Knives, SA leaders Ernst Röhm (see Röhm), Edmund Heines (see Heines) and August Schneidhuber (see Schneidhuber)
and an active member of the local Communist Party branch who was sentenced to six years imprisonment for the shooting of the SA Sturmführer, Horst Wessel (

Aerobic expression of the cyf gene encoding cytochrome c-553 from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough in Escherichia coli. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 8012605 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Monohaem cytochrome c-553 from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough is encoded by the cyf gene which could be expressed in Escherichia coli to yield the periplasmic holoform of cytochrome c-553. Covalent haem attachment was shown by labelling with 5-amino[4-14C]laevulinic acid, the immediate precursor for haem biosynthesis. Visible-absorption spectroscopy demonstrated that the haem environment in the recombinant protein did not differ from the native protein. Optimal expression was obtained under aerobic conditions. Furthermore, efficient insertion of haem into a cytochrome c-553-beta-lactamase fusion protein could be demonstrated. We suggest that the varying success in heterologous expression of c-type cytochromes in E. coli may arise as a result of differences in the physical properties of the apoproteins. |

Dirk 09-20-2003, 09:35 AM Disgraceful by Rosset and Roger. 0% receiving points in the 5th set. Roger double faulting. :mad: :sad: :rolleyes: I hope he can win tomorrow. I don't want that blue collar scrapper beating him, but its all in Roger's hands. He might feel too sorry for himself to play well just like what happened to him with David. Swiss are goners. I just hope Spain will win the trophy this year. I think maybe Roger should just give up on these DC ties and save himself for the tour. He can't be a one man team. Too much pressure, don't know how it could be any fun really. :rolleyes: :sad: Lindsayfan 09-20-2003, 09:52 AM Rogiiiii :sad: :sad: But we still believe... TheBoiledEgg 09-20-2003, 10:18 AM pffffffff :sad: :mad: :fiery: Marc Rosset might as well play himself vs Scud Kratochvil is about as much use as a doormat. Dirk 09-20-2003, 10:35 AM Michel did great with Verkerk and was the reason they made it this far. I am just sadden that they didn't get any of those 3 break points in the 2nd set. Roger must feel like shit right now. :sad: Roger might not beat hewitt tomorrow so that 5th rubber probably won't even matter. I just hope he will be able to put this tie behind him when he is playing in Vienna. I hated that Kafel had to go through this shit in the mid 90s and I really hate that my favorite player has to go through it as well; being a one-man team is just impossible. :banghead: hewittclijsters 09-20-2003, 12:15 PM Congrats to Australia!:bounce: hewittclijsters 09-20-2003, 12:16 PM http://us.news1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20030920/s/1064053595.3959496784.jpg Go Aussies!! Mrs. B 09-20-2003, 12:41 PM too bad they took their feet off the gas pedal on that 4th set. the ue's, df's and the bad returns from both. smiling like it was an exhibition match! :mad: credit to wayne & todd they played great, but the Swissies had their chances...(how's your ear, Todd?) Good luck tomorrow Roger! *pressure pressure pressure* if he wins and Michel or Georg upsets the big Poo, then i'm in Allmend Stadium in Nov. HOPP, SCHWIIIZZZZ!!!!! Chloe le Bopper 09-20-2003, 01:13 PM If Australia wins, the finals are just a formality. The same can be said for the Swiss really... Spain won't win Davis Cup finals on grass. As much as I'd like to pretend otherwise, they simply won't. That's almost like asking the USA to win the finals on clay (today that is, not in 1995;)). The finals aren't going to be very interesting at all.... oh well. Chloe le Bopper 09-20-2003, 01:14 PM As for Roger being under too much pressure to be a one man team - wtf are you talking about? He hasn't dropped a SET in Davis Cup - a SET - in how many matches? Oh yes, clearly the pressure is getting to him! Aussie_Kim 09-20-2003, 03:52 PM Congrats Aussies! I can't help it I'm biased ;) I reckon if it was the Aussie vs Spain on hard court it would still be close. Anyway, I just want the Aussies to win so I can go to the DC final! Anyway, nothing's decided yet. I'm tipping Aussies to win the tie 3-2 tho! star 09-20-2003, 04:00 PM The doubles win was crucial no doubt. But, as Aussie Kim says, it's not over yet. I've seen Kratochvil play very well, and I've seen Poo play really badly.... so I think ikratochivil has a solid chance of beating Poo, and Roger is certainly the favorite to win against Lleyton. Dirk 09-20-2003, 04:03 PM Rebecca doesn't matter if he wins tomorrow. Its still out of his hands. He is a one man team and I never mentioned pressure. I am just annoyed and feel sorry for him. They should have done alot better in that 5th set. 0% on receiving points in the 5th set. :eek: Experimentee 09-20-2003, 04:16 PM Swiss should have taken the oppotunity at 0-40 in the 2nd set. They fell apart after winning the 3rd. Theres no way Swiss will win the tie now, even if Federer wins i dont see Michel beating Mark. Thats the problem when your country only has one good player. RogiFan 09-20-2003, 11:12 PM pffffffff :sad: :mad: :fiery: Marc Rosset might as well play himself vs Scud Kratochvil is about as much use as a doormat. don't let Hackie read that comment... Well, we must still cheer for the SUI team and not give up. I guess it was Rogi who contributed to the loss today... too bad. And it is so tough for a team to win [the whole thing] on the strength of one player w a little help fr one or two once in a while... has any team won the DC title w one strong player??? Also so tough when that one player must play doubles as well as singles... who else in the top tier has to do that?? Plus SUI doesn't have a real dbles team anyway... Rogi must be mentally and physically tired and has to play first up tomorrow... vs. Lleyton who's playing better than Mark now. Talk about pressure... In a way I agree that Rogi s concentrate on the tour but he loves playing for his country, as does Juanqui, and it must be wonderful to be there! I only saw the SUI d USA in 2001 on tape and that was great!! I wish I could be there to cheer them on, same w the ESP team. Rogi loves the team spirit and the fans... I w love for SUI to win this tie but all vs. them... if they do, it will be a well-earned and well-deserved victory. SO... HOPP SCHWEIZ ALLEZ LA SUISSE!! GO SWITZERLAND!! HOPP ROGI!! HOPP MICHA!! :angel: :angel: Don't give up... it's not over til it's over... in the words of Yogi Berra and he's right! AND don't assume that ESP will win either... weirder things have happened altho I want them to win... don't fancy them on grass in AUS so I want SUI to win too!! VAMOS! ESPANA!! J. Corwin 09-21-2003, 12:18 AM lol @ ESP on grass star 09-21-2003, 04:11 AM Oh it would be so sweet!

Or will both teams swop their selection, that has become meaningless? 10:43 MELBOURNE: Hewitt ACE 15-0; Federer backhand error 30-0; Hewitt first serve in net, takes his time to deliver his next effort... double fault 30-15; Federer backhand error down the line 40-15; AUSTRALIA TWO POINTS FOR A PLACE IN THE FINAL... Hewitt takes his time again... first serve in... SMASH WINNER!!!! Hewitt falls to his knees... CAME SET MATCH HEWITT... 5-7 2-6 7-6 7-5 6-1!!! Australia take an unassailable 3-1 lead and reach the final! Final on GRASS :help: :banghead: Dirk 09-21-2003, 09:56 AM Shame he couldn't win that tiebreaker. Can someone post the winner to errors ratio. Clearly Roger's body failed him in that 5th set. I had a feeling this would happen. Roger lost his serve in the doubles alot and now he has lost the tie. :sad: J. Corwin 09-21-2003, 10:22 AM interesting turn of the match! Mrs. B 09-21-2003, 10:38 AM :sad: :sad: :sad: courageous comeback from Lleyton, showed a lot of heart. Roger just faltered, he played so well on those two first sets. :( heard he had a groin injury... Dirk 09-21-2003, 10:43 AM I hope he is ok. Roger had his chance to serve it out in the 3rd set. Sadly Roger has mental issues still. Why would they let them play in the cold wind? That causes injuries (it is cold there right now isn't it) I hope Roger will feel better but I really hope the groin injury is just a rumor. Experimentee 09-21-2003, 01:51 PM It was not cold here today. It was actually very nice weather, very sunny. Though it was a bit windy, it wasnt cold. Roger choked and he blew it. The weather is no excuse, and he didnt seem to have trouble moving, he just played too conservatively when he was up and let Lleyton back into the match. The 5 set doubles from yesterday could have been a factor at the end. Dirk 09-21-2003, 02:31 PM Thanks for the info, Roger never will learn. :( Still gives away matches. :sad: WyverN 09-21-2003, 02:57 PM If Federer wants to be a consistent champion he needs to stop chokes like this happening. He did the same thing in the 3rd set againt flipper but was lucky to recover. Great thing about champions like Sampras is that they would never give a match away from such a winning position. It is something Federer is yet to learn. star 09-21-2003, 03:18 PM There is no shame to Roger in this match. He played high quality tennis. He was heroically attempting to carry the Swiss nation on his shoulders to victory. He did very well to singlehandedly get the Swiss this far. Unfortunately for Roger, Davis Cup is a team event. Lleyton played with heart and fire and guts. What a wonderful demonstration of tenacity from him! But, he wouldn't have been in the position to be Davis Cup hero without his team to support him. Toddy and WayneO were part of the whole effort. What a classic Davis Cup match!! It's matches and atmosphere like this that make Davis Cup so inspiring. Good luck to the Aussies!! |
