Bob Uecker Biography
Bob Uecker was born January 26, 1935 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and is a former Major League Baseball player, later an award-winning sportscaster, comedian and actor. Uecker was given the title of "Mr. Baseball" by Johnny Carson.
Uecker's sports expertise extends beyond baseball. He hosted two syndicated television shows, Bob Uecker's Wacky World of Sports and Bob Uecker's War of the Stars. The former has since become known as The Lighter Side of Sports (albeit with a different host, Mike Golic) and remains one of the longest-running syndicated sports programs in American television history.
Uecker also appeared in a series of commercials for the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League in the mid-1990s, including one in which he re-designed the team's uniforms to feature a garish plaid reminiscent of the loud sports coats synonymous with Uecker in the 1970s and 1980s. In February 2006, the Admirals commemorated those commercials with a special event in which the players wore the plaid jerseys during a game. The jerseys were then auctioned off to benefit charity.

Big Brother Croatia Mini-Profile #10: Filip Voloder
Filip Voloder, born on May 2nd 1979 in Split, 176 cm, 75 kg, black hair, brown eyes, Taurus, single, sisters Patricia and Andrea, no children, entrepreneur, hobbies – tennis, riding horses
First shot of Filip Voloder's initial video-presentation showed him as bartender. But illusion of a blue-collar Joe Average disintegrated as soon as he mentioned his 11 years of tennis and he newly found fondness for horse riding. His apartment is near tennis court (one of the most posh sections of Split) and he owns a horse (something very few people in Croatia can afford). "Why this guy needs 1 mil. HRK in the first place?" is the question that immediately popped up.
Image of hard-working blue-collar Joe Average was more fitting for his parents from Dalmatian hinterland, at least until they returned from Germany with bundle of money which allowed them to raise their children in a world of luxury. Filip nevertheless has some problems with self-esteem and is apparently worried over hair loss.
He spent a lot of time in Germany and used to watch local version of Big Brother.
At first, he was very quiet and faceless. He opened up only later, with aggressive attempts to befriend everyone in House, which led many to mistake his excessive hugging of Sanja as some kind of romantic advance. But he abstained from major outbursts of "hipness" and later used his displeasure with displays of nudity to find common ground with some other housemates and thus start first Big Brother Croatia clique. He gives impression of someone who lacks charisma and leadership abilities, but compensates that with diplomatic skills.

You've probably seen what a solar storm looks like, but what does this activity sound like? Now a new soundtrack created by composer Robert Alexander from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor translates readings from a recent storm on 7 March into audio.
To create the track, Alexander used raw data from instruments on two NASA spacecraft, the Messenger satellite near Mercury and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) about a million miles from Earth. Measurements from the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS), for example, were mapped onto an audio waveform, the amplitude of the sound corresponding to the number of particles hitting the detector and its frequency relating to how fast the events occur. Using a standard audio sampling rate, the information was condensed into just a fraction of a second's worth of sound. The playback speed was then extended using algorithms.
Transforming data into audio could be useful for zipping through a large amount of information. Alexander is now working with a team from the Solar Heliospheric Research Group at the University of Michigan to look for patterns that wouldn't normally be visible from graphs. "When I began listening to plasma speed data, I uncovered several periodic features relatively quickly," he says. "After doing some research I was able to attribute them to well-documented events."

A man is behind bars after stealing thousands of pounds from the Bluewater restaurant where he worked.
Klestor Nikolla, 29, was jailed for seven months after he admitted taking more than £11,000 from Wahaca Mexican Market Eating at the Greenhithe shopping centre.
The former assistant manager deleted transactions from the records and took the cash from the till for his own pocket.
He also waited for other staff to go home so he could reopen the till in their names and refund items to steal the cash.
But the restaurant's computer system tracked the transactions - leading to Nikolla's conviction.
He was arrested on October 29, 2013 and charged on January 17 with theft by employee and 11 charges of false accounting between May 14, 2012 and March 18, 2013.
Nikolla, of Whitefields Road, Waltham Cross, pleaded guilty when he appeared at Maidstone Crown Court and was sentenced to seven months in prison and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £100.
DC Roger Harris said: "Nikolla took advantage of his position of trust and made sure he worked the last shift of the day so he could steal from the till when everyone else had gone home.
"The crime was committed over the space of a year and we worked closely with the shop to secure evidence to ensure Nikolla would be brought to justice before the court."

Victoria Beckham's a/w 2010 collection as she attended a party held to welcome her and new husband Kris Humphries to New York City.
The reality television star went for classic Hollywood glamour with the floorlength gown, tumbling tresses and a sizeable helping of bling. Kim did alter the look slightly from the catwalk by removing the "exclusive 3d grosgrain embroidered belt" and we must say the dress looks better for it.
There was also a cake although we're not sure if it's an actual cake that you can eat or a cipher for a cake which represents the welcomingness of New York City without involving complicated things like real icing. In case it is a real cake we've decided that the second tier down would be a logical place to start eatling from because there are fewer sticking out wire bits.
Anyway, ignoring the fact that she persists in having a husband so tall that cropping photos of the pair of them is a total nightmare AND ignoring the fact that the choice of Victoria Beckham for the party means we STILL haven't seen a single Kardashian prepared to work the red carpet in the Kardashian Kollection leopard print sequin harem pants with elasticated waist (what gives, ladies?) AND ignoring the fact that SERIOUSLY, WHO HAS A PARTY TO WELCOME THEM TO NYC ANYWAY... we give Kim's take on Victoria Beckham our seal of approval.
How does it measure up to her other fab frocks, though? Click through the gallery and let us know.

It gives light, which in turn allows the Earth to live. It is the center of the solar system. So, naturally, in entertainment, it becomes a useful symbol of something, [[LightIsGood usually good]]. For instance, in Vampire films where the tradition about [[OurVampiresAreDifferent the monster being destroyed by being exposed to sunlight]] is upheld, the heroes realize their time of greatest peril is over and now they have the advantage.The sun can be used for all sorts of funky symbolism. A sunrise on the beginning of a journey is pretty self-explanatory. Perhaps one of the more common variations is the sun, on cue, breaking through the thick, overcast clouds, shining rays of light down onto the Earth. For heroes, this is often [[LightIsGood an encouraging sign, even something of an omen]]. Expect things to turn toward the hero's side quickly.Another fairly common use is a sunrise at the ''end'' of the story, usually symbolizing "the dawn of a new day"; everything has been put right, and [[DarkIsEvil the evil (darkness)]] that had previously hung over the land is dispelled by the protagonists' victory. Another variation is using the sunrise before the [[FinalBoss very final showdown]] with the BigBad/[[TheDragon Dragon]]Alternatively, [[PartlyCloudyWithAChanceOfDeath the sun disappearing on cue]] can have the opposite effect, [[DarkIsEvil as the will of heaven is suddenly snatched away]].The trope name comes from a moment in the film ''Film/TheTrumanShow'', with Ed Harris' character "cueing the sun" (actually a gigantic stage light) to find the eponymous Truman, even though in-universe, it's supposed to be the middle of the night.(Notably, there is a real lighting device brand-named "The Sun" used for such effects in film and theatre. It is very large, very expensive, and has a very poor supply/demand ratio, so only the most wealthy companies actually have their own; everyone else rents.)See also HeavenAbove, NaturalSpotlight, RaysFromHeaven, RidingIntoTheSunset (when a character is shown driving towards the sun at the end of a story), AgainstTheSettingSun, WatchingTheSunset, FirstTimeInTheSun and SuicideBySunlight. Contrast MelancholyMoon and CueTheRain, which are [[InvertedTrope inverses]]. Connected to RedSkyTakeWarning. Subverted with DaylightHorror.----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Advertising]]* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqHUb8dkj-o This U.S. ad for Prudential]], and to a lesser extent (montage of still photos) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdIh_obFeoc this one]][[/folder]][[folder:Anime and Manga]]* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': The end of the Untrustworthy Room arc ends with Viole staring into the morning sun.* When the BigBad of the fifth season of ''Anime/SailorMoon'' Chaos is defeated, the clouds break apart.* In ''Anime/TheMysteriousCitiesOfGold'', Esteban has the ability to summon the sun. Which is convenient, since much of the LostTechnology is solar-powered.* In ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', while Rin is letting Tohru hold her during her sickness, the sun rises.* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', [[TheHeart Orihime Inoue]] has been portrayed as the sun.[[spoiler:When Ulquiorra states that the 'Sun has already set' in the Arrancars' hands, cueing a very sunset like image with Orihime.]] Later on, Orihime is once again portrayed with this light when she [[spoiler:finally begins cheering Ichigo, influencing a power-up for the boy.]]** And when Aizen [[spoiler:re-kidnaps her and says that she should smile more to 'let the sun shine on.']]** Yet again right after [[spoiler:Ichigo finally defeats Aizen and Urahara seals him away.]] Kubo is very subtle with his symbolism, huh?* Happens several times in ''Manga/DeathNote'', most notably [[spoiler:at the end, when Mikami's Death Note is revealed to be fake.]]* ''Manga/InuYasha'':** When Miroku and a possessed Sango square off, just as Miroku affirms his intention to purge the demon from Sango, the sun starts to peek over the horizon in the background.** Also in the episode that reveals that Inuyasha becomes fully human during the new moon. Just when it looks like the spider demon has won, sunrise breaks, restoring Inuyasha's full strength.* Inverted by ''[[Anime/GaoGaiGar GaoGaiGar FINAL]]''. The Sun (or [[ThatsNoMoon the machine disguised as it]]) gives the villains ridiculous regeneration, so when it's activated and starts shining brightly, the battle suddenly gets a ''lot'' tougher for the Brave army.* In ''Anime/DetonatorOrgun'', the eponymous character's WaveMotionGun is solar-powered. Guess what happens in the fight against the BigBad.* At the end of the ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'' [=TV=] series, the impenetrable canopy of pitch-black clouds (which had covered the world ever since the last episodes of the first season) dissipates and lets glorious columns of sunlight shine through.* After Kaname breaks Sousuke out of his HeroicBSOD at the end of ''Lightnovel/FullMetalPanic! TSR'', the sun rises behind her.* Inverted in ''Manga/BlackBloodBrothers'' when Jiro is facing off against [[spoiler:Cassa]]; it's not the sun that makes his skin burn, it's the ''rain''.* Near the end of the second ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' movie, the sun rises at ''just'' the right moment. Saying any more than that would spoil a [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming really sweet ending.]]* Lampshaded in ''Anime/DuelMasters.''--> '''Shobu:''' ''(after beating a game, the dark clouds dissipate into a blue sky)'' "Right on cue!"* In the end of the manga version of ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'', [[TheHero Rosette]] looks out at the sun rising through the clouds, spreads her arms, and says "Come on, let's go. There's plenty for us to do!"* The sun rises immediately after the climax of the Battle of Teppelin in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.* [[JustifiedTrope More than symbolic]] in ''Manga/{{Pluto}}'': the robot Epsilon is solar powered, so the appearance of the sun in the middle of a fight signals a shift in his favour.* An overcast clears when Cure Passion makes her debut in ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure''. Same with the more appropriately-named Cure Sunshine in ''Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure''.* ''Anime/GunXSword'' makes heavy use of the sunrise as a symbol; the protagonist even takes "Van of the Dawn" as his preferred nickname. The most notable CueTheSun moment comes in episode 16, when Van experiences an epiphany right as the sun rises, making the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic cross-shaped object]] in his hands shine brightly.* In the final scene of Osamu Tezuka's OVA ''[[Manga/{{Phoenix}} Hi no Tori 2772]]'' aka "Space Firebird", when [[spoiler:planet Earth, Olga and Godo]] are reborn to new life, sun rises above the sea.* The eponymous Sea Temple of ''Anime/PokemonRangerAndTheTempleOfTheSea'' rises above the water at the same time as the sunrise.** Done quite effectively in ''Anime/PokemonIChooseYou'': [[spoiler: After Ash's Pikachu uses 10,000,000-Volt Thunderbolt, the black sky clears to show a beautiful sun as Ash is restored to life and deemed worthy of the Rainbow Wing by Ho-Oh, granting him eternal happiness as the Rainbow Hero]].* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' the evil spirits that are drawn to [[AllergicToEvil Guts' brand]] are more prevalent and more powerful at night, and Guts has to spend the entire night fighting and warding them off. However, the spirits are [[LightIsGood vulnerable to light]], so when the sun begins to rise and eliminates all other evil spirits in the vicinity, it means that Guts has successfully cheated death once again! ... [[HereWeGoAgain only to have to repeat it the following night!]] Woo!* Happens a lot in ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}'' for numerous reasons thematically. The first is obviously to imply that the heroes are, well, heroes, can't you tell? Look at this heroic shot! The second is as part of a symbolic bet between Ukoku Sanzo and Koumyou Sanzo, the first being thematically attached to darkness and the second to the moon. Their bet is over who will be the rising sun who finally defeats Ukoku, and Koumyou obviously bet on his student, Sanzo. The third is just the obvious fact that the main characters are [[Literature/JourneytotheWest traveling west]]. What else travels west? WHY, THE SUN! There are actually more, but they mainly support Sanzo's thematic ties with the sun as per the bet Koumyou and Ukoku made, so I won't bother mentioning them. So I suppose this could perhaps be the most justified use of this trope? Ever?* Although things are about to go from bad to worse, volume 2 of ''Manga/MaidenRose'' manages to end on a somewhat hopeful note with a scene of the young cadets walking towards the wreckage as the sky lightens.* In ''Anime/YuGiOhCapsuleMonsters'', the sun rises in episode 10 after Yami slays the Five-Headed Dragon.* In ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', the heartwarming scene of Mami having tea with her new friends is underscored by the setting sun's light flooding into her apartment.** The goddess of hope's general aesthetic is that of a sunrise: SupernaturalGoldEyes, pink hair, and a cloud-white dress. Fittingly, whenever [[BigGood she]] appears ([[spoiler:except in the third movie]]) it's a sign that things are about to get better.* {{Justified|trope}} in ''Manga/DigimonVTamer01'', as storms form when powerful monsters fight one another.* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': It starts raining during Trost as Mikasa recalls her memories of her past and especially when she believes [[spoiler:Eren is dead]]. When it looks like it's curtains for her, she suddenly remembers Eren's [[DareToBeBadass exhortation to fight and win]] just as the sun breaks through the clouds.* In ''Anime/LesMiserablesShojoCosette'', this happens once, when [[spoiler:Javert decides not to suicide, simbolizing his change of heart]].* During the climax of ''Anime/TheGardenOfWords'' a momentary break in the storm allows sunshine to illuminate Takao and Yukari after the former finishes [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech venting his frustrations to her]] outside her apartment. The sunlight falling unto Yukari's face mirrors her finally opening up to Takao.* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': [[PresidentEvil Wrath]] has [[ReligiousBruiser Scar]] dead to rights, all while mocking him about his belief in a god... then the eclipse above them ends, and the sun's light glints off of Wrath's sword and blinds him long enough for Scar to fatally wound him. The irony isn't lost on Wrath.* ''Manga/FairyTail'': [[spoiler:After the defeat of Grimoire Heart's [[BigBad leader]], Hades, the sun rises, signifying the titular guild's victory over the dark guild. This is only a temporary victory however, as later Acnologia shows up...]]** In the Tartaros Arc, the sun rises [[spoiler:right after Acnologia kills Igneel. Natsu screams Igneel's name in despair.]]* The sun starts coming up when Tohru's father leaves and Tohru reunites with Kobayashi in the final episode of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid''.[[/folder]][[folder:Art]]* The Art/SistineChapel's altar faces the east end so worshippers will be facing the rising sun, which symbolizes the risen [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} Christ]] who shines life on all the just. To emphasize that connection, there's a painting right above the altar of Jesus bringing [[{{Heaven}} Earthly Paradise]] to the faithful where He is surrounded by a full-body [[HolyHalo halo]] painted like the sun.[[/folder]][[folder:Comic Books]]* Spoofed in Jeff Smith's ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}''. After the Great Red Dragon lets the townspeople catch him, the townspeople tell Phoney (who has set himself up as a "dragonslayer") to finish him off. Phoney, who has no intention to actually kill any dragons, let alone the Great Red Dragon, insists on waiting until sunrise to slay the dragon. Unfortunately for Phoney, the sun rises in the middle of his impassioned speech on the subject: ''"The heavens themselves shall determine...'' oops."* In ''Comicbook/KryptonNoMore'', When Franchise/{{Superman}} decides that he has got enough brooding and he flies away to face up to two villains who have been hounding him, the Sun rises above the clouds.* The third issue of X-23's series ends with her leaving an ExtranormalInstitute at dawn, having conquered her past. The usual connotations of freedom and (tentative) hope are present.* In the Franchise/TinTin adventure "The Calculus Affair," after a funny CueTheRain moment, Tintin and Captain Haddock are walking through a downpour, oblivious to the fact that Tintin's dog Snowy is carrying Professor Calculus's umbrella...--> '''Captain:''' If only we had an umbrella!\\'''Tintin:''' ''[turning and noticing Snowy]'' An umbrella? Captain, what idiots we are. Look!\\''[And just as they start to open the umbrella, guess what happens?]''[[/folder]][[folder:Fan Works]]* ''Fanfic/ACrownOfStars'': In chapter 25 Shinji and Asuka finally open up and talk about their feelings. At the end of that chapter the Sun rose, and it is explicitly stated that it symbolized the beginning of something new.* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': [[http://eva303.smackjeeves.com/comics/2056794/001/ Chapter fifteen's cover]] features Asuka watching the rising Sun right before taking off. There are several symbolisms present in the image: it is the start of both a new chapter and Part III of the doujin: Asuka is about to leave for a mission and fight her newest rival; and [[BreakTheHaughty after]] [[HeroicBSOD hitting]] [[BrokenAce rock-bottom]] during Part II, she has fully recovered and it is a new dawn for her.* Happens twice in ''FanFic/RainbowDoubleDashsLunaverse''.** {{Inverted}} in the series' first episode, where the rising of the sun in the middle of the night shows that Corona, the Tyrant Sun, has been freed.** Then played straight at the end of the first episode of the second season, where Luna offers to let Corona raise the sun, and Corona accepts, showing that she is beginning to break free of the madness that rules her.[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Animated]]* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' Littlefoot climbs up onto a ridge, following the spirit of his deceased mother in the form of a cloud. When the cloud dissipates, he sees the Great Valley spread out beneath him, bathed in sunlight.* In the animated cartoon version of ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', this happens at the climax of "Make a Man out of You". Ping/Mulan fails the whole training regimen and Shang pretty much tells him/her to go home. She then sees the arrow at the pole and decides to give it one last try. As she does, the sun rises and the other men start cheering her on. She succeeds and throws the arrow down to Shang's feet for emphasis, proving she ''can'' pull her own weight around.* Convenient sunbeams illumine Pride Rock in ''Disney/TheLionKing'' when a new monarch (lion cub) is presented. When Simba regains his throne, the clouds part to reveal the starry sky where the former kings are said to reside.** [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Aala wainya! Iimala iya away!]]** Used somewhat famously in [[http://youtu.be/HwSKkKrUzUk?t=1s the opening seconds of the film.]]* In ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'', the culmination of the movie is a race to return the head of the Forest Spirit before the sun rises, and the forest dies forever. Naturally, the heroes retrieve the head and hold it aloft to the 'Nightwalker' just as the first rays shine across the hills...* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'':** The coming of the morning after Shifu's argument with Po that ended after Po confessed his deep sense of worthlessness and Shifu likewise admitted he did not have an idea of how to fix that. After a night of racking his brain for an answer, the sun comes up as Shifu hears a ruckus in the kitchen and finding Po doing some impressive physical feats for food. Thus with the sun rising, so does the critical inspiration for Shifu concerning a way to train Po effectively.** And then ''again'' near the end, after Shifu and Tai Lung's intense duel in the rain. The sun rises as soon as Po appears, signifying that the dark part is over and it's time for the hero to kick ass. It's at this point that the real final battle begins.* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/{{Igor}}'', this is [[spoiler:justified since Igor has destroyed the BigBad's WeatherControlMachine]].* ''WesternAnimation/WakkosWish'', near the end; "Mr. Speilburg ''loves'' this shot!"[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]* In the Patrick Bergin/Creator/UmaThurman [[Film/RobinHood1991 1991 film version]] of ''RobinHood'', the sun doesn't shine until the Norman/Saxon rift begins to heal with the marriage of Robin and Marian.* In Tim Burton's ''Film/SleepyHollow'', the shots of Ichabod Crane heading for Sleepy hollow are dark and gloomy, and the sunlight is NEVER seen in Sleepy Hollow itself, but only when those same shots are repeated as Ichabod [[spoiler:and Katrina]] are heading back for New York City.* In slasher movies ''Film/JustBeforeDawn'' and ''Film/HellNight'', the climax happens just before sunrise.* Satirized in Creator/BusterKeaton's ''Film/TheScarecrow''. The opening title, "Slowly and majestically the sun steals gradually over the hill-tops," is followed by the sun shooting straight up from the horizon and then hanging in place.* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'':** In ''The Two Towers'', when Gandalf and the Rohirrim arrive to save the day. They ride down the hill, bearing down on the Uruk-Hai army, who form lines with spears out, but just before the two groups clash...'''SUNRISE!''' and it is so sudden and so fast that the light from the sun ''blinds the spear-wielding Uruk-Hai on the front line,'' making them turn away, thus enabling the Rohirrim to crash through what is normally a cavalry-charge-breaking defensive tactic. The cinematic effects make it look as if Gandalf helped it along quite a bit, too. Which matches the magic he used for his dramatic reveal earlier. (And to bring the symbolism full-circle, remember that he identified himself as a "wielder of the flame of Anor" to the Balrog. ''Anor'' is the Sindarin name for the sun.)--->'''Gandalf:''' A Wizard is never late. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.** Also done in "The Return of the King" during the Ride of the Rohirrim. As the Rohirrim shout "DEATH!" for the third time, the camera pans out from them, revealing the entire army with the sunrise gloriously shining from behind them (from the wrong direction, but whatever), as CrowningMusicOfAwesome swells up triumphantly.* ''Film/BladeRunner''** In an incidental SpecialEffectsFailure which turned into a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, Roy Batty releases his dove and it flies into the sunny sky, giving some hope to Deckard the future would be brighter.*** Averted in the Final Cut of the film; they fixed the shot so that the dove now flies up into the rainy night sky.* In the typical vampire film, the heroes are enduring a harrowing night fighting a vampire and they are about to lose against the powerful monster. Suddenly, the sun comes up and everyone realizes that the ''hunters'' now have the advantage against the vampire.** ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' plays this perfectly. The characters have finally been hopelessly surrounded by vampires, they have just two bullets left, the rest of the cast has just been killed (and promptly re-killed). Then the sun rises, and bullet holes in the bar's walls bring its light in at odd angles, turning the entire arena into a ''laser hallway'' for the vampires.*** Zig-zagged in the sequel, when the sun finally rises in similar circumstances and moments later equally quickly vanishes due to the full eclipse.** ''Film/FrightNight1985'' has a simpler version where the hunters have had a harrowing time fighting the vampire and are barely holding him back when the sun comes up. As the vampire reels in horrified realization, Peter Vincent, now having passed his trial by fire, notes, "You are out of time..."** In ''Film/{{Thirst}}'', the sunrise is awaited by the vampire as the only way he can end his sinful life.* In ''Film/{{Apocalypto}}'' a solar eclipse occurs while Jaguar Paw is laying on the altar, about to be sacrificed. The priest interprets the eclipse as a sign that the gods' thirst for blood had been sated, and he calls off the human sacrifices.* In ''Film/HocusPocus'', the rising of the sun marks when the spell allowing the three witches to live again for one night on Halloween runs out because they didn't succeed in draining the lives of the children of Salem. They go "poof."* During the final battle of ''Film/BladeII'' (which has taken place entirely at night) inside the top of the BigBad's EvilTowerOfOminousness, the MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter is [[TheVirus bitten by the mutant vampire]] (who just happens to be her brother). After the hero wins the battle, she requests he [[DyingAsYourself destroy her before she becomes one of them]], prompting him to walk outside to the end of the tower's pier-like balcony cradling her limp form, allowing the sunrise to turn her to dust in his arms and blow away in the breeze.* ''Film/TheTrumanShow'' does, in fact, have a moment like this, but it is not in fact when the line is spoken. It's right when the storm lets up in the climax that is the true example.* In ''Film/TheProposition'', a sunset coincides with [[spoiler:the shooting of primary villain Arthur Burns. Although Not Quite Dead, he spends his last few minutes going outside to watch the sunset. Charlie, who just shot him, goes and watches it with him.]]* In the movie ''Film/{{Westworld}}'', the technicians watch for sunrise, and cue all the robots to start up at the instant where the sun rises above the horizon. A western town is frozen in mid movement, then everything starts up when the sun rises.* ''Franchise/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'' franchise:** Used straight in ''Film/PitchBlack'', as the shuttle lifts off and the triple suns reappear from behind their respective planets (meaning no more dark-loving beasties)** Inverted in ''Film/TheChroniclesOfRiddick'', where Riddick finds himself on a prison planet where the sun can actually kill you. (And thus a [[OutrunTheFireball desperate sprint]] away from ''sunrise'' manages to not be full of {{Narm}}.)* Used near the end of ''Film/DarkCity'' when [[spoiler:John, after having taken control of the massive space station, rotates it so that the sun is shining across its surface for the first time.]]* At the end of ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'', the Oracle and Sati are sitting on a bench in a green park under a stunning sunrise. Which was made by Sati ("for Neo"), showing her to be pretty GenreSavvy where symbolism is concerned.* The entire story of ''Film/{{Collateral}}'' takes place at night. At the end, when [[spoiler:Max has killed Vincent and gets away with the girl]] we see the sun coming up, showing us that night's finally over and order's restored.* The most recent ''Film/PrideAndPrejudice'' movie ends with Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth confessing their love for each other at dawn, finally embracing as the sun comes up.* At the end of ''Film/TronLegacy'', Sam shows Quorra something she so eagerly wanted to see for herself: a sunrise. She's enraptured by the sight. In some theaters, the house lights were brought up with the sun.* The film ''Film/MorningGlory'' cleverly uses a sunrise shot to close the film - which is very apt as it is about a morning TV show - and watching protagonists walk into a sunrise is that much more interesting than seeing them ride off into the sunset.* Implied in ''Film/JoyRide'': while it's the rain that "makes everything clean again" and ends Rusty Nail's AxCrazy phase, the rain is followed by the sun, which brings a "new day".* ''Film/ImACyborgButThatsOk'' ends with a stunning sunrise creating a rainbow over the desolate landscape.* ''Film/MishimaALifeInFourChapters'' begins and ends with a sunrise as well as having a plane break through dense clouds during the eponymous characters WorldOfCardboardSpeech moment.* ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'': "Nice dissolve!" They go on to be rescused by the Dinks, and meet Yogurt later that day.* ''Film/ThirteenDays'': In the climax when they're not sure if the next day will start nuclear war or resolve the situation, a shot of an exploding nuke is shown which morphs into the rising sun.* At the end of ''Film/JurassicWorld'', the ''TyrannosaurusRex'' roars victoriously as the sun rises over the now abandoned park.* ''Film/TheHungerGames'': Invoked by the Gamemasters, who can control the ambient lighting.* The Rising Sun has of course long been a symbol of Japan. In ''Film/MorningForTheOsoneFamily'' it takes on a new meaning. The Osones greet Ichiro, who is released after the war following nearly two years in prison. He points out the sunrise, saying "It's a new day for the Osone family...the dawn of Japan." The final shot of the movie shows the sun, here symbolizing the birth of democratic Japan, rising over the ocean.* The second to last scene in ''Film/KeyLargo'' is Nora opening the blinds to let the sun in after the hurricane has passed.* ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''. Drifting in space after suffering major damage, Superman recovers when the rotation of the Earth brings the sun, enabling him to regenerate.* ''Film/WonderWoman'': Diana [[spoiler:obliterates Ares]] just at the crack of dawn. Everybody just takes in the sun afterwards. * Justified in ''Film/{{Dredd}}'' as the protagonists have been [[ClosedCircle trapped inside the megastructure]] for most of the movie. After the BigBad is defeated, they're able to raise the blast doors and walk out into the sunlight for the first time (they'd escaped onto an external ledge at one point, but it was night time then).* In ''Film/{{Napoleon}}'', the final night of the Siege of Toulon is fought during a rain- and hailstorm. After the battle is won, the weather clears up and the sun rises.* Luke Skywalker watches a sunrise in one of the last scenes of ''Film/TheLastJedi,'' indicating that hope is returning to the galaxy, and also providing a lovely CallBack to the binary sunset [[Film/ANewHope all those years ago]]. It also serves as a transition because [[spoiler: he dies just after]]. [[/folder]][[folder: Folk Lore ]]* Some older Arthurian legends claim that Sir Gawain's strength rose and fell with the sun. So he was strongest at noon and weakest at midnight. Understandably, he fought mostly in the late morning.[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* OlderThanFeudalism: In ''Literature/TheBible'', in the Book of Joshua, Joshua commands the "sun to stand still at Gibeon, and the moon in the valley of Ajalon" so that his troops will have enough light to finish their battle.** ''And God said, '''Let there be light!''' And there was light.''* Creator/JRRTolkien's ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'':** At the end of the War of the Ring, Aragorn and the rest's HeroicSacrifice at the gates of Mordor is averted, when the successful destruction of The One Ring causes the perpetual cloud-cover to dissipate, letting the sun break through -- and sending the bad guys fleeing in panic.** The dramatic high point of the Siege of Gondor turns around the sun rising during the confrontation between Gandalf and the Witch-King of Angmar in the ruins of the main gate of Minas Tirith. Also the simultaneous charge of the Rohirrim during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.** Helm's Deep: Gandalf said "Await me at Helm's Gate!" Erkenbrand and Gandalf are specifically noted as arriving from the west, while on the east the valley is said to be "too sheer and stony" for anyone to escape. Further, they only actually arrive while Saruman's hosts are already in retreat.*** As dawn breaks, Aragorn speaks to the orcs and tells them they should flee. They mock him, but he says that every dawn brings a new hope.* In ''Literature/TheHobbit'', Bilbo is caught by three trolls, and the dwarves are captured in their turn when they arrive to find out what has become of him. While Bilbo escapes to hide in a bush during the fight with the dwarves, he can do nothing but listen helplessly while the trolls argue about how to cook them; but Gandalf, unseen, keeps re-igniting the argument until sun-up, when he shouts, "Dawn take you all!" and they turn to stone in the sunlight.* Also from Tolkien, ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'':** The first Sunrise signals the awakening of the race of Men, in a suitably dramatic passage.** There's even a Cue the ''Moon''. It first appeared at the same time the Noldor reached the end of the Grinding Ice.--> "and Fingolfin unfurled his blue and silver banners, and blew his horns, and flowers sprang beneath his marching feet, and the ages of the stars were ended."* In the climactic FinalBattle of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows'', the morning sun rises while Harry and Voldemort are talking to each other,and it's the cue they use to attack for the last time. It was a long night after all...* In Creator/GrahamMcNeill's TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Literature/HorusHeresy novel ''Fulgrim'', [[spoiler:Lucius]], having [[TurnCoat betrayed them]] and [[spoiler:[[FriendOrFoe tricked him into killing loyalist Space Marines]]]], [[DyingAlone walks away from the dying Solomon Demeter]]. Solomon is glad of the peace, but sees the diminishing light and feels as the world was marking his death.* Whenever Dracula needs to be killed, it's even money that it's the first rays of a sunrise that finishes him off. Unless some angry man with a whip and a family grudge comes beats his ass silly first.** In ''VideoGame/SuperCastlevaniaIV'', it's both!** [[spoiler:In [[Literature/{{Dracula}} the original novel]], Dracula's appearances were foreshadowed by the sunset.]]** Subverted in the actual novel. Dracula is able to walk around in sunlight, he just has to stay in his coffin from dawn to noon. In fact, Dracula dies at ''sundown.'' It's a race to prevent him from becoming more powerful, not to waste time until he's weak.*** Also he can shapeshift only at dawn and dusk so if they'd been a moment too late he could have turned into mist and escaped.* Rand al'Thor in ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' books is apparently the prophesied leader of every diverse group of people in the world. Sucks for them that he's destined to destroy them as a result. Anyway, one of said groups, the Aiel, know him as (among other things) "He Who Comes with the Dawn." After journeying to an ancient city to prove his identity to them, he returns, successful (though battered) at, you guessed it, sunrise.** Another example involving Rand comes at the end of ''The Gathering Storm'', where after absorbing enough ''saidin'' to break the world out of his anger and self-pity, he also gathers a mass of storm clouds overhead. When [[spoiler:after a dramatic moment of redemption he truly laughs for the first time since declaring himself the Dragon Reborn]], the sun breaks through the clouds. This is especially poignant since the sun had not been seen for a long time due to the Dark One touching the world.** Similarly in "Towers of Midnight," because of what happens in "The Gathering Storm" where ever [[spoiler:he or Elayne (who is bearing his children) are,]] there is a ring of sunlight.* With an [[LargeHam excessively dramatic]] "Behold!" [[Literature/{{Belgariad}} Belgarath]] causes the sun to rise in a far northern land, in the dead of winter, causing the demon summoners who are busy summoning demons to lose their concentration, with naturally fatal results. Naturally, it was a rather neat illusion on Belgarath's part.--> "Behold!" I thundered--augmenting my voice, I'll admit--and I pointed dramatically toward the south. I didn't want the moon or the northern lights lessening the impact of what I was going to do.--> Then, posing like a charlatan in a country fair, I spoke the words that released my Will in a voice they probably heard in Kell.--> "Rise up!" I roared--and the sun came up.--> ---------------------------------------------------> Oh, come now. You know better than that. Nobody can order the sun around. Don't be so gullible.--> It looked like the sun, though. It was a very good illusion, even if I do say so myself.* In ''Literature/TheLionsOfAlRassan'', there is a climactic duel between the champions of two armies at sunset. This is absolutely full of symbolism, given that one side is the sun-worshiping Jaddites, and the other is the star-worshiping Asharites. True to form, [[spoiler:the Asharite wins as the sun sets.]]* In ''Discworld/{{Hogfather}}'', the sun rises just as Susan saves the Hogfather's life. [[spoiler:This is important, because if the Hogfather hadn't been saved the sun wouldn't have risen. Had she failed, [[NoManOfWomanBorn a mere ball of flaming gas would have illuminated the world]].]] The again, given the Literature/{{Discworld}}'s dependence on [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality Narrative Causality]], the difference between the two is probably more than semantic.** The final line of ''Discworld/NightWatch'' is "And the world turned toward morning."** At the end of ''Discworld/{{Pyramids}}'', [[spoiler:Pteppic]] causes the sun to rise, which brings Djelibeybi back into contact with the outside world.*** It's more subtle than that. It's a sort of RunningGag that may or may not be true, due to the Discworld's NarrativeCausality, that the pharaoh causes the sun to rise. The pharaoh himself is kind of uncertain about this, but all the priests assure him it's true. Even the way it's done in the book leaves it up to the reader to determine whether or not it was a coincidence.* In ''Literature/{{Deryni}} Rising'', Kelson invokes this in his coronation duel with Charissa, [[spoiler:calling the sun to appear to help him kill one of her monsters, then calling on the skies to darken until he finished her]]. Afterward, the sun reappears to cast the same pool of multicoloured light on the floor (from a stained glass window), and people in the congregation murmur, thinking it's still dangerous. Kelson moves to stand in it before summoning Morgan and Duncan to join him there.* ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'':** Creator/MattStover's ''Literature/{{Shatterpoint}}'': In the climax, as [[EverybodysDeadDave everyone is dying]], and a fallen Jedi gains the upper hand over Mace Windu, dawn arrives just as Mace and his allies are able to call off the droid starfighters holding the planet's capital city hostage.--->In the skies over Pelek Baw, as the snowcap on Grandfather's Shoulder kindled with the first red rays of dawn, droid starfighters disengaged from clone-piloted ships and streaked back into the depths of space.\\In the command bunker, the swirl of dark power crested, paused, and began to recede.** Stover's ''Literature/LukeSkywalkerAndTheShadowsOfMindor'', has, near the end, a scene where Han and Leia sit outside the ''Millennium Falcon'' waiting for the world to end. They could fly off the planet, but they can't escape -- [[NoWarpingZone gravity well generators]] are preventing escape into hyperspace and causing massive solar flares, massive solar flares are killing everything that isn't shielded by the bulk of Mindor, and the bulk of Mindor is about to [[EarthShatteringKaboom go to pieces]]. Everything that they could do has been done, and they don't know what Luke is doing. So they decide to sit outside, have a picnic, get in a LastKiss, and watch the sunrise, thinking these would be their last moments. [[spoiler:They aren't.]]* In ''Literature/ThePhantomTollbooth'', our protagonist, Milo, runs into Chroma the Great, conductor of the orchestra that gives light to the world (It's a bit metaphysical.) Basically Chroma's job early in the morning is to cue the sunrise, and during the final battle, he whips up an epic lightshow.* In ''The Ugly Swans'' by Creator/StrugatskyBrothers, the city of Tashlinsk is perpetually clouded. When The children take the city over and baddies flee, the sun evaporates the clouds, [[spoiler:the proceeds to evaporate the old city.]]** In ''Literature/TheDoomedCity'', the artificial sun is re-ignited just as [[spoiler:the revolution caused by its malfunction has reached its peak.]]* Tavi literally cues the sun in ''Literature/CodexAlera'' Book 3. He orders his windcrafters to part the clouds and reveal the sun at high noon. He does this so the windcrafters can shape the air into a giant magnifying glass and fry the Canim like ants.* In Creator/JohnCWright's ''[[Literature/TheGoldenOecumene The Phoenix Exultant]]'', Phaethon defies Atkins -- "Let them try" -- just when the dawnlight came to hit his armor and make it gleam.* ''{{Literature/Malevil}}'' makes use of this twice.** The world suffers from TheNightThatNeverEnds after WorldWarIII. The survivors struggle to survive for several months before two events give them hope for the future: confirmation of other survivors and the first rain since the war is non-radioactive. Just as everything is finally looking up, the sun finally breaks through the ash and the world truly begins to heal.** Near the end, during [[spoiler:Emmanuel's KangarooCourt trial at Fulbert's hands. The setting sun comes through the chapel's stained glass window behind Emmanuel and he feels the light emanating from around him and illuminating the room as he turns the trial against Fulbert]].* In ''Literature/ThePaleKing'', Creator/DavidFosterWallace says that a rural Midwest sunrise is as soft and romantic as someone�s abruptly hitting the lights in a darkened room.* Creator/DouglasAdams lampshades this in ''Literature/DirkGentlysHolisticDetectiveAgency''--> "With an impeccable timing of which it is very rarely capable the sun chose this moment to burst briefly through the gathering rainclouds, and as she played her cello a stormy light played on her and on the deep old brown of the instrument. Richard stood transfixed.* In Creator/DevonMonk's ''Literature/DeadIron'', the sun comes from behind the clouds just as Mae sets out to the Madder brothers'. She takes it as a good omen.* Sunrise has significant magical power in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles''. Because of its symbolism of renewal, it tends to wash away existing magics, even quite strong ones, so most spells will end at dawn unless enforced or protected. As well, intensely magical beings such as ghosts, vampires and some otherworldly beings cannot bear the sunrise, and will be destroyed or forced out of the mortal plane unless they can find shelter.* ''Literature/WarriorCats'':** The final book of the original series, ''The Darkest Hour'', ends with the sun rising after Firestar defeats [=BloodClan=] and their murderous, Nietzsche-esque leader Scourge.--->...and it seemed to Firestar that no dawn had ever been brighter.** The final book of ''The New Prophecy'', ironically titled ''Sunset'', ends with the sun rising after Brambleclaw reafirms his loyalty to Firestar and the Clan by killing his evil brother Hawkfrost.* [[Literature/BookOfTheNewSun The Urth of the New Sun]]: Severian stands to be executed over a misunderstanding, until an apparent miracle makes it appear that he both delayed and caused the sunrise. * In Richard Ellis Preston Jr.'s ''Literature/ChroniclesOfThePneumaticZeppelin'' novel ''Romulus Buckle and the Engines of War'', when Romulus sees the "dawning bore" -- a flood of colors -- he feels new hope that Max will live.* In ''Literature/{{Steelheart}}'', near the end of the final fight. Has more than symbolic significance, because it also shows that Nightwielder is dead.* ''Literature/HappyBirthdayToYou'': The Birthday Bird is implied to show up around this time in the "brightening sky" but, with "not all awake".* ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'': Hey, Dante, what's a good time to emerge from Hell? Oh, alright, I'll meet you when "Daybreak defeats darkness's last hour" and we'll start heading over to God's place. It'll be more symbolic than last time, I promise.[[/folder]][[folder:Live Action TV]]* Inversion: In the season 3 denouement of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', the Mayor's ascension was immediately preceded by an eclipse.** Another Inversion, an example of the sun ''not'' coming out being interpreted as a good sign. During an unusual heat wave around Christmas, on Christmas eve Angel ([[TakeOurWordForIt for complicated reasons]]) decides to kill himself by standing on a hill as the sun comes up, claiming that the world doesn't want him in it. After an argument with Buffy who is trying to talk him out of it, the sun doesn't rise. Instead it starts snowing. This is treated as a miracle as it saves Angels life but [[FridgeLogic doesn't this mean that Buffy will have to work overtime?]]** Definitely subverted in the episode "The Harvest":--->'''Luke:''' You forgot, metal can't hurt me.--->'''Buffy:''' There's something you forgot about, too. Sunrise!--->(''Buffy throws a mike stand through the window behind Luke. Luke cringes instinctively as light pours through. Then he looks up and sees it's only a lamp. Just as this realization sinks in, Buffy stakes him from behind.'')--->'''Buffy:''' It's in about nine hours, moron.** Played straight in the season 5 finale, where the sunrise signals Buffy's decision to [[spoiler:sacrifice herself to save [[MeaningfulName Dawn]].]]** In the MusicalEpisode, Tara steps into the sunlight while singing the lyrics ''Now I'm bathed in light'' during the "Under Your Spell" song.* On a similar note, the first season of ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' concluded with Hiro gazing at an eclipse.* In ''Series/ThePillarsOfTheEarth'', a monk tries to persuade a group of soldiers to allow workers to return to a quarry to cut stones for a cathedral. He arrives at the quarry right before dawn on purpose, so when the leader of the soldiers is about to strike him down with his sword, the sun rises behind him and reflects on the golden cross in the monk's hand.* Shows up a few times in ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''. Lokar's very presence darkens the sky, so when he's defeated it clears up. Also marks the turning of the tide in the Globbor and Dischordia fights in the third season. Especially in the Dischordia fight. Ninjor and the Ninja and Shogun Megazords get back on their feet, the sky clears, and then both Megazords charge and deck Dischordia, followed by an epic beatdown.* Done for TearJerker effect in ''Series/BabylonFive'' in the final episode where [[TheHero John Sheridan]], knowing he is going to die very, very soon, rises early to watch his final sunrise, accidently waking Delenn ([[InterspeciesRomance his wife]]). It becomes truly heartbreaking at the end, where we find that Delenn would get up early every day, for the rest of her life, to watch the sun rising as her way of keeping John alive in her memories.** Later, after he goes to Coriana 6, where he spends his final hours, [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien Lorien]] visits him. As he tells Sheridan it's time to rest a bright light fills the ship. -->'''Sheridan''': Well, look at that. The sun's coming up.* In the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode 'Bugs', this trope saves the day, even though it's only a few minutes since the sun set!* Done for symbolic and dramatic effect at the end of the ''Series/ForeverKnight'' series finale, to further reinforce the indication of the KillEmAll ending and probably to represent redemption in death.* In ''Series/MyNameIsEarl,'' the sun shines on Randy just as he realizes that his purpose in life is to help Earl complete The List. Earl points out that it's just the sun shining through a window in the jail where they're visiting an old friend. Randy replies, "Yeah, but it's shinin' just for me!"[[/folder]][[folder:Music]]* The page quote is of course from Music/TheBeatles and "Here Comes the Sun" from ''Music/AbbeyRoad'', in which George is actually singing about springtime as the season of new life and renewal.* The triumphant appearance of the sun marks the climax of the Music/LedZeppelin song, "The Battle of Evermore" from ''Music/LedZeppelinIV''. This song is about [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings The Battle of the Pelennor Fields]], though, so that's quite appropriate.* [[Music/{{Metallica}} "Lay beside me, tell me what I've done / The door is closed, so are your eyes, but now I see the sun"]]* Music/KateBush's "Cloudbusting".* "The Day Begins", the opening poem of ''Days of Future Passed'', the first ConceptAlbum by Music/TheMoodyBlues, ends with the narrator calling for the sun (by way of invoking its [[Myth/GreekMythology ancient personification]]):-->''Brave Helios, wake up your steeds'' -->''Bring the warmth the countryside needs''* "Sonne" by Music/{{Rammstein}} is pretty much a [[PyroManiac love song to the sun]]. "Sie ist der hellste sterrrrrn von allen!"* Music/JohnMackey's "Aurora Awakes".* The finale of Music/ArnoldSchoenberg's "Gurrelieder", with the huge 8-part choir (not to mention the 150-piece orchestra) singing "see, the sun!"* "Chasing the Sun", by The Wanted. As fits the trope's spirit, it is hopeful and highly energetic. * [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in Music/DavidBowie's "Memory of a Free Festival": "[[EpicRocking The sun machine is coming down, and we're going to have a party...]]"* ''Music/AnthemOfTheSun'' by Music/TheGratefulDead mentions the sun several times on the album and sunrise in "Born Cross-Eyed".* "Sunrise" by Music/UriahHeep'' is about how the sunrise doesn't bring the protagonist joy, because "it's another day without you."[[/folder]][[folder:Newspaper Comics]]* In ''ComicStrip/{{Mutts}}'', Mooch sticks his head out the door to be faced with an ''enormous'' TheFaceOfTheSun, smiling. He observes it's summer (Sunday after the solstice.)[[/folder]][[folder: Role Playing Games ]]* The last night of ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' version two doesn't end until [[spoiler:Bryan Calvert]] has finally won and is being airlifted off the island. Only then does the sun finally start to rise, as if confirming that [[spoiler:his]] fight for survival is over.* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}''** As one of the more prominent gods of the setting is called the Unconquered Sun and the default {{Splat}} consists of his chosen, the Solar Exalted, this trope crops up a lot.** One of the best has to be the suggested climax to the Return of the Scarlet Empress campaign. [[spoiler:Following the Unconquered Sun's death, a huge alliance of all non-Reclamation Exalts charges in to fight the Ebon Dragon under the blood-red orb of the Daystar. The Ebon Dragon is smirking because he's unkillable while Holy is offline, and the Unconquered Sun governs that particular power...and then a Sidereal promotes someone to replace him, and the Ebon Dragon craps himself as the red eye in the heavens blazes once again with golden fire.]][[/folder]][[folder:Theatre]]* In ''Theatre/TheMagicFlute'', the Queen of the Night is defeated when Sarastro, Tamino and Pamina arrive along with the sun.* ''Theatre/{{Pippin}}'' has a disturbing use of this trope in its final scene. The Players tell Pippin to "think about the sun" as they bring on a backdrop depicting the sun and a lot of stage lighting as encouragement for him to commit SelfImmolation.* An ironic version in ''Theatre/{{Finale}}'', as the characters walk [[spoiler:to their deaths]] into the [[spoiler:burning]] sunset.[[/folder]][[folder: Video Games ]]* Although ''VideoGame/DeusEx'' is Always Night, during the last few levels you can see that the sun is starting to rise. Also ties in perfectly with Morgan Everett's "Badass Creed" end speech.* In "VideoGame/ShounenKinindenTsumuji" after the Demon Castle is destroyed, the Sun rises over the mountains showing that the adventure is finally over.* In one of the earliest examples, we've got the Angry Sun in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''. To say the least, it was annoying.* Entries in the ''Franchise/{{Lunar}}'' series have a penchant for filing the sky with [[AStormIsComing ominous clouds]] (or even [[DarkIsEvil blotting out the sun]]) as the finale approaches.** The ending of ''[[VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar Lunar: Silver Star Story]]'' follows through by sweeping the dark clouds away to reveal the sun. All's well that ends well!** ''VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue'' cues the sun for a different purpose: near the end of the game, the sun emerges from the clouds to signify that FallenHero [[spoiler:Ghaleon]]'s efforts at [[TheAtoner atonement]] have been acknowledged by [[PowersThatBe someone upstairs]].* The final boss of ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' is fought high in the sky, with a gigantic moon in the background. In the end, Kirby is grabbed and hopeless until Dedede comes to bring him his EleventhHourSuperpower. From that point on, [[CurbStompBattle the battle definitely turns to Kirby's advantage]] and the rest of it is fought in front of a glorious sunrise.* The final battle in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' opens with the Ferelden army charging the Darkspawn with the dawn at their backs.** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in the DLC addon ''The Darkspawn Chronicles'', where you play as a [[VillainProtagonist Darkspawn Hurlock Vanguard]]. In this case, the sun rises, but [[BigBad Urthemiel]] has won the day, [[YouBastard thanks to you.]] [[TheBadGuyWins Enjoy the victory of the Blight.]]* In ''VideoGame/BloodRayne2'', the entire plot revolved around a group of vampires creating an artificial cloud barrier called the Shroud which would block out the sun's rays and allow them and their demonic minions to wander the earth freely. Interestingly, they accomplish this, and the Shroud seems for the moment anyway to be permanent (Rayne going so far as to say that she felt "for some reason" like everything would go back to normal after she killed the final boss). The last cutscene shows a SequelHook that implies a third game about a Rayne-led organization that defends humanity in this vampire-ruled world.* In the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games there are moves called "Morning Sun" and "Sunny Day"; the former recovers half the HP of a Pokémon (all of it when it's bright out), while the latter powers up Fire attacks and certain Grass Pokémon.** Many Grass Pokémon are typically taught Sunny Day and Solarbeam in tandem; under Sunny Day, the charge time for Solarbeam is thrown out, meaning four rounds (or more, if a drought stone or a Pokémon with the Drought ability is sent out) of nonstop solar-powered bombardment.** Contrast Rain Dance, which, of course, makes it rain. As long as it's raining, Fire attacks and Solar Beam deal ''less'' damage, and Thunder is guaranteed to hit (in Diamond and Pearl, it even penetrates Protect and Detect 30% of the time).* In ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonExplorers of Sky'', special episode five, Grovyle, Dusknoir and Celebi all finally see a sun rise right before they disappear. This shows that the world of darkness has been stopped, and symbolizes a new future.* Inverted in the Final level of ''VideoGame/FreeSpace2''. As you try everything you can to get at least some of the fleeing ships to the jump point before they are picked off by shivan ships before the system is cut off from hyperspace to trap the shivan fleet, the small star in the distance suddenly starts to grow bigger and brighter, leaving you only half a minute to reach the jump point before the explosion reaches you.* The first ''VideoGame/NinjaGaiden'' game ends with Ryu and Irene watching a sunrise and Ryu saying "Look, the sun is rising. Everything is so bright now. The darkness is finally over." The third game also ends with a sunrise.* This is one of your powers in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}''. Of course, you are playing the incarnation of the sun goddess. Very early in the game you summon the Sun just to dry somebody's laundry...** A more textbook example is in the fight with Orochi, when you dramatically summon the moon to match the legend of Orochi's original defeat. [[spoiler:Later you're sent back in time to the first fight with Orochi, and do the dramatic moon-summoning that makes its way into the legend.]]** The ultimate example comes during the FinalBattle: [[spoiler:even after being restored to her greatest glory by a CombinedEnergyAttack from all of Nippon, Amaterasu is still unable to harm Yami, Emperor of Darkness, in any way, even despite the ThemeMusicPowerUp. The only way to make it vulnerable (and, indeed, make it ''lethally vulnerable'') is to use Ammy's most basic skill, Sunrise, which pierces Yami's Eclipse and makes it writhe in pain]].*** Made even more powerful by the fact that ''she never lost it''. Even when [[spoiler:Yami destroyed all the other brush spirits, the other gods who surrendered themselves to Amaterasu, who became part of her by returning to where they came from, he didn't destroy her. The reason Amaterasu had that power to begin with is because she ''is'' the Sun God, and unless Yami destroyed her, he could not destroy that power. As the trope description reminds us, cuing the sun is a way to signal that victory is near, that the darkness has passed and that it's time for the light to shine. It's the ultimate way of giving people hope, and ''Amaterasu had it all along''.]] FridgeBrilliance like that is what makes the scene even more [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]] when you stop to think about it.* Used heavily in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIFiy51T8IE Credits]] of ''VideoGame/LiveALive''.* Subverted, played straight, and possibly reversed in ''VideoGame/SuikodenV'', where the plot centers around a set of runes related to various times of day - and which can be used to call down the fearsome power of the sun itself upon your foes! And since the runes end up on both sides of the central conflict, 'cueing the sun' in ''Suikoden V'' is synonymous with wholesale destruction for one side or the other. It even serves as the pre-battle wipe every time you have a RandomEncounter...* In the [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic future]] of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', one of your quests later in the game takes you to the peak of Death Peak. When you reach the summit [[spoiler:and bring Crono BackFromTheDead]], the sun peeks out from behind the thick cloud cover.* The sun rises during the final mission of ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar''; if you shoot down the optional fighters quickly enough, your wingmen remark on the beautiful sunrise and the hope they have for the future.* The final stage of ''[[VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2]]'' finds the sun burning out and catastrophic ice storms engulfing the planet. The rival cheerleader squads finally join forces and [[CombinedEnergyAttack channel the positive feelings of everyone on Earth]] to reinvigorate the sun, while [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome awesome]] music plays. Upon the song's completion, the sun rises from the gloom and the world is saved, making this one of the more literal uses of the trope.* ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]'' takes place in a [[AfterTheEnd meteor-devastated Earth]] covered in clouds of dust and ash. The sun rising in the epilogue is a pretty big deal. As a bonus, the final level is called Sunrise.* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}} 8: Imperishable Night'' subverts this, see TheNightThatNeverEnds for more details...** ''Subterranean Animism'' uses a different kind of subversion: When you see the subterranean sun in all it's fiery glory, you are about to face [[ILoveNuclearPower the final boss of the game]]. [[ThePowerOfTheSun Who then goes on to create some more]], which she hurls at you.* The sun is one of the enemies in ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheTribute''.* Occurs at the end of ''VideoGame/GodOfWar III''. [[spoiler:This is pretty much the only implication that, even after [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Kratos wrecked the planet out of revenge,]] the world might be coming back together.]]* In ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'', at the end of Silver's story, after Iblis is defeated and [[SealedEvilInACan sealed away]], the perpetual cloud cover breaks, allowing the [[LetsPlay/SonicTheHedgehog2006 "the HEALING RAYS of the SUN!"]] to shine on the post-apocalyptic landscape for the first time in the entire game.* The "Light of Dawn" solo in ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' causes the rising sun to appear and motivate your on-field troops. It can only be played by Eddie.* The sun rises as you leave Ravenholm in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''.* ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' does this as well. When you are in the final corridor of Soltis, you can see the clear blue sky through the holes in the ceiling, and right after you defeat [[spoiler:Ramirez and he sacrifices himself to summon the Silver Gigas Zelos]], the sky is suddenly smothered with dark clouds. After you defeat [[spoiler:Zelos]] and face off against [[spoiler:Zelos-Ramirez]], the sun starts to shine through the clouds, [[FridgeBrilliance which is laid out right behind your characters]], with the darkest part of the scenery behind [[spoiler:Zelos-Ramirez]] and where he crashed onto the Delphinus. Finally, when you defeat him once and for all, the dark clouds dissipate entirely, and Soltis falls back into the Vortex.* The final battle in ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxterThePrecursorLegacy'' takes place during nighttime. The sun rises during the cutscene after winning.* Seen in [[spoiler:T. Hawk]]'s ending in ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterII'': [[spoiler:as he vows to rebuild his homeland that M. Bison had devastated, the sun rises and he greets it with open arms.]]* Seeing this happen is the entire point of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fight 'Til Dawn]] mode from ''VideoGame/AlanWake's American Nightmare''. Each round starts ten minutes before dawn, and ends at sunrise (when the light kills every Taken on the field). Also, in the story mode you kill [[BigBad Mr. Scratch]] by [[spoiler:luring him in front of a film projector and playing a movie of Alan and Alice watching the sun rise.]]* In most ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' games, when you finally defeat the BigBad {{Dracula}}, the sun will come up moments later to herald the endgame cutscene.** In ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaIISimonsQuest'' dawn is always heralded by the (unskippable, slowly scrolling onscreen) message "THE MORNING SUN HAS VANQUISHED THE HORRIBLE NIGHT".** The above and this trope is referenced in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' when Shanoa is about to storm Dracula's castle.---> '''Shanoa''': I am the morning sun, come to vanquish this horrible night!* In VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime, the Sun's Song is one of the melodies you learn on your ocarina. Link can summon the sunrise if he's in Hyrule Field at night, and doing so makes nocturnal enemies such as Stalchildren and Poes disappear. It can also temporarily freeze Re-Deads and Gibdos.* When you defeat [[VideoGame/DiabloIII Diablo]] for the third and final time, the dawn slowly breaks over ''[[spoiler:heaven itself]]''.* After the game took place entirely during the night, the campaign "Blood Harvest" in ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'' ends with the sun rising over the horizon as the survivors escape the zombies. Granted, the [[FromBadToWorse survivors go through a]] ''[[FromBadToWorse lot]]'' [[FromBadToWorse more crap after that,]] but as far as the video game goes, this was their happy (or, at least, ''relieving'') ending.* At the end of the Story Mode in ''VideoGame/{{Mortal Kombat|9}}'', after Raiden [[spoiler:defeats Shao Kahn and the Elder Gods take him away]], the sun shines down on him, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade.* ''VideoGame/{{DragonFable}}'' inverts this at the end of it's first chapter, with the sun being eaten by a giant skeletal dragon.* Night falls as the penultimate battle of ''VideoGame/SeriousSam: The Second Encounter'' begins. After you finish killing the lots and lots and lots of monsters present, the sun comes up again.* The Egyptian chapter of ''VideoGame/WaxWorks'' takes place during a single night, with the sun rising over the Pyramids when you exit the secret tunnel.* Used in the dynamic kill for the combination attack between Gorg and [[spoiler:Manon's Guardian]] in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsBX'', showing off the friendship between Yuu Tagami and [[spoiler:Manon]].* At the end of the pacifist run in ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', the barrier sealing the monsters in Mt. Ebott is broken, the player leads his new friends outside, and they comment on how beautiful the rising sun is.* Happens pretty frequently in ''Series/ResidentEvil''** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' the sun comes up just before you kill the tyrant and Brad shows up in the helicopter to rescue you.** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' By the time you evacuate Raccoon City via train, the sun has come up while it was completely dark in all other parts of the game. ** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'' The government is going to destroy Raccoon City at dawn, which is exactly when you escape.** The sun's arrival plays a more important role in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0'' You have to open the roof of a landing pad so that the newly risen sun's rays can destroy the FinalBoss.* ''VideoGame/MinecraftStoryMode'': [[spoiler:After Jesse finally slays the Wither Storm, the sun comes out. Justified as the Wither Storm was blotting it out.]]* The sun rises as ''VideoGame/CombatInstinct'' 3's FinalBoss is [[DoubleTap Double Tapped]].* ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' first pulls a subversion, then plays it straight in it's finale. [[spoiler:Due to a string of events, the black sun has begun absorbing the data of the Earth into itself meaning that the heroes has to fix it before sunrise or else everyone will be erased by it. They manage to pull it of leading to it being played straight when the people left behind see the sun rising over the horizon, now back to normal]].* The ending for ''[[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Gradius Gaiden]]'' features this.* In the SurvivalHorror game ''VideoGame/ObsCure II'', the FinalBoss is fought just as the sun is starting to rise. Given that the monsters in the game are WeakenedByTheLight, this is your clue (in case the [[SuspiciousVideoGameGenerosity large stack of guns and ammo]] you found just before entering the boss arena wasn't enough) that you're about to enter TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon.* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'': [[spoiler:when the game ends, the sun rises over Eos for the first time in over ten years.]]* The minigame "Zombie Tag" in ''VideoGame/WiiParty'' ends with the sunrise, which turns all the zombie Miis to normal.[[/folder]][[folder:Webcomic]]* In the biomancer story in ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'', the biomancer trying to create a plant that can extract the bauxite contamination from a polluted region. While he's able to breed a plant that can thrive in such conditions, it isn't producing a berry to contain the mineral meaning that the plant is not a perennial, which makes planting them en masse impractical. Futhermore, the authorities then confront him about the questionable regulatory chicanery he pulled to start the project and vow to come back with a legal writ to have the "useless and dangerous" crop destroyed. On the morning of day that would have happened, the biomancer is awakened by a glaring light coming from the window facing the field. When the biomancer opens the window, he is confronted with a whole field plants with metallic berries glittering in the morning sun, which means his project has become a complete success, creating the raw materials for this medieval society to create aluminum and some experimental breeds he was growing as a subproject were producing ''rubies and sapphires''! Translated, he and his fiancée are now rich beyond their wildest dreams.** And also, the project can now go on, with funding.* ''Webcomic/ImpureBlood'' [[http://web.archive.org/web/20100526122959/http://impurebloodwebcomic.com/Pages/Chapter001/ib008.html Must escape by dawn]]* In ''Webcomic/{{Exiern}}'', Tiffany's identity crisis arc is brought to a conclusion with her reaffirming her identity by triumphing over the latest EvilSorcerer as [[http://www.exiern.com/?p=1791 dawn breaks over the castle battlements]].* In ''Webcomic/{{Erstwhile}}'', [[http://www.erstwhiletales.com/maidmaleen-33/#.T29_k9m6SuI Maid Maleen describes her new happiness as the sun shining on her again.]]** In "The Little Shroud", [[http://www.erstwhiletales.com/littleshroud-05/ the ghost vanishes at dawn.]]* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1811 Lil' E's reaction to darkness]] and [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=1812 Seymour's to the return of light]] key off this.** Not to mention Pooch's reactions to [[http://web.archive.org/web/20120505182453/http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2275 sunset]] -- [[http://web.archive.org/web/20130902113909/http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2276 explaining it to Percy grieves him further.]]** [[http://web.archive.org/web/20080215082432/http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2674 Slick cheers another lap around the sun.]]* In ''Webcomic/MonsieurCharlatan'', ironically invoked with the sun rising on the still despairing Charlatan.* In ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff200/fv00169.htm watching the sunrise after repairs.]]* At the end of Chapter 16 of ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', [[spoiler:the Ultimate Diplomat's speech ushers in a new golden age of peace between human and dinosaur.]] As his oration comes to a close, the sun rises. To quote the AltText, it's symbolic as hell.* In ''Webcomic/{{MYth}}: A Promise'', [[spoiler:Eos's returning from captivity to help]] Helios rising the sun after [[TheNightThatNeverEnds centuries of night]] symbolises the end of Cronus's reign and the beginning of Zeus's, the fated "Golden Boy".[[/folder]][[folder:Web Original]]* The Sun shows up near the end of ''WebAnimation/{{Ducktalez}} 7'', indicating a new beginning for Scrooge and his nephews.[[/folder]][[folder: Western Animation ]]* The final shot of ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'', [[HeartwarmingMoments set to Franz Schubert's ''Ave Maria'', no less.]]* The sun rises when the ''{{WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague}}'' defeats the Justice Lords.** Several times in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, not always exactly a ''sunrise'' but sometimes just its appearance, with added meaning as the sun is the source of {{Superman}}'s powers.* A reversal in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', as the sun powers up the Firebenders attacking the Northern Water Tribe, and the tide shifts in the heroes' favor when the sun sets.** And then shifts back to favor the villains just as an important duel between a waterbender and a firebender was about to end.** [[spoiler:Of course the moon being restored after disappearing entirely (along with the Waterbenders' abilities) leans rather closer to this trope]]** Much later has a weirder version: [[spoiler:Sozin's comet finally passes just after Aang beats Ozai. Then it becomes possible to see that sun, which was being blocked by ''another light source'']]* Played with (literally) in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', which results in Homer (during a MushroomSamba) breaking the sun.* Lampshaded in ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'' in the 3rd-season episode "My Cheatin' Heart." [=McGuirk=] walks up the golf green, silhouetted by rays of sunlight:---> '''[=McGuirk=]''': Sorry I'm late, I had to wait for the sun to be at the right angle, for the effect...---> '''Andrew''': Nice.* Used at the end of ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'', after [[spoiler:Gurgi comes back to life for no particular reason.]]* Used in the the ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' episode "Long Way to Morning": Hudson has spent all night protecting a hurt Goliath from Demona, buying time until the sun can restore the gargoyle leader's health. Thus, the sun, which usually leaves the gargoyles helpless, is in this case their savior.* In ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward]]'', Earth's sun is alien invader's [[TheVirus Sh'Okanabo's]] main weakness. When he (not yet knowing of this weakness, since it affects him only when he's particularly weak) begins turning New York's population into mindless, subservient Kanabo drones, the effect only lasts until the sun rises, which coincidentally occurs just when Sh'Okanabo is about to defeat last turtle standing Raphael. Later, in the episode "The Day of Awakening", Sh'Okanabo has taken over a moonbase and has programed it to block out the sun in preparation in order to allow him to create Kanabo drones, and again, it is only as he is about to win that the heroes manage to open these shutters.* Odd case in ''ReBoot''. When Hexadecimal infects the system paint program the first thing we see her do with it is to paint a sun into Mainframe's sky. Since Mainframe never had a sun before (since it's inside a computer) this confuses everyone until Phong alerts Bob about the paint program. After that the painted sun is completely ignored.* ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'' actually does this twice: The first time during the opening credits, and again when Chanticleer fights the Grand Duke of Owls.* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'', during a US Acres segment, Bo the sheep actually says "cue the sun".* In the second episode of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', the sun rises immediately following Nightmare Moon's defeat. It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]], because Nightmare Moon was keeping Princess Celestia, [[IDyeGrass who is responsible for raising and lowering the sun]], imprisoned; that's right, the sun literally ''wasn't allowed to rise until the big bad was defeated''.* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}}'' this is [[InvertedTrope inverted]], as storm clouds part just as The Duelist claims a sword from another unprepared victim, leaving him crushed and defeated as the sun blazes high above his head.* Parodied in ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': after being forced to flee from the intergalactic government and search for an earth-like planet out of the government's reach to live in refuge on, they finally decide on one. The Smith family gathers together to watch the sunrise, and it comes up - accompanied by the sound of it screaming. Yes, the sun. They decide to find another planet.[[/folder]][[folder: Real Life ]]* Dramatic example: When Music/TheWho were performing ''Music/{{Tommy}}'' at Woodstock, the sun began to rise during the dramatic final number ("See Me, Feel Me"). John Entwistle later joked that "God was our lighting man." The band later had a lighting rig, which were rarities at the time, constructed to replicate this.* Some accounts of Abraham Lincoln's inauguration speech in 1865, just as the American Civil War was in its ending phases and by then the North knew they were going to win, has the final moments of the speech be illuminated by the sunlight shining through the clouds and onto the President's platform. To the audience it seemed like hope was shining down on America for the first time in several years.* In his autobiography ''About Face'', David Hackworth tells how he decided to shoot himself in the foot to escape a miserable winter night on the Korean front line. It took a while to unlace his frozen bootlaces, and when he'd finished Hackworth saw the faint glimmer of dawn on the horizon. Even though it was still freezing, just the knowledge that things would warm up in a few hours was enough for Hackworth not to go through with it.* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by British Prime Minister Tony Blair in his 1997 victory speech, after Labour won a landslide general election. The speech took place outside in the very early hours, just as the sun was rising, and Blair even began the speech with "A new dawn has broken, has it not?"[[/folder]]----->''[[Music/OwlCity Travel light, let the sun eclipse you\\'Cause your flight is about to leave\\And there's more to this brave adventure\\Than you'd ever believe...]]''----

Hanging out at the NAPT
I decided to play the "media card" and roll on down to the Bicycle Casino to cover the North American Poker Tour for the TPT. I was pretty jazzed when I saw the list of pro's that were scheduled to attend, so I figured, why not take a shot at watching some of my favorite tournament pro's in action. Day 1a is today, and fielded 330 total players. Day 1b begins tomorrow, and it will probably have at least as many players based on all the info that I'm getting from most of the players.
Being at the Bike for the NAPT is a surprisingly relaxed atmosphere considering the competitors that are here for a $5,000 buy in event. So far, on day 1a, the normal PokerStars Pro's are here with Greg Raymer, Chris Moneymaker, and Jason Mercier all in PokerStars garb. But there are a number of Full Tilt and Ultimate Bet pro's in the mix as well (Annette Obrestad, Jeff Madsen, and Scott Clements are wearing FTP Patches, and Eric Baldwin, Adam Levy, and Bryan Devonshire are representing UB).
There are also 3 November Niner's here playing as Matt Jarvis, Soi Nguyen, and Joseph Cheong are throwing chips around. And there are the other PokerStars Pro's as well as Vanessa Selbst and Liv Boeree are playing. And there are a number of other Pro's like Antonio Esfandiari, Sorel Mizzi, David "Doc Sands" Sands, and Lauren Kling, who just makes every tournament better.
I'll be posting updates through twitter (@coolwhipflea) and posting photos on the TPT Site (click here to see the pics). Feel free to follow along with the coverage. I'll get more detailed chip stacks and hand information as the tournament winds down. But for now, I'm enjoying chatting it up with the pro's and the media members like Dr. Pauly, Jess Welmann, and Sean Gibson of Poker News Daily. Should be a great time.

Criminal Lamp
A tribute to Michael Jackson. Made of Aluminium and leaning at 45 degree angle. Move up and down the hat to switch the lamp on and off; the same gesture MJ does with his own hat.
