Sydney, AustraliaThere were almost 2000 competitors, across age groups from U14 to U20, but the focus at the Australian Junior Athletics Championships which concluded today (14) was unavoidably on those seeking to qualify for the IAAF World Youth Championships, Lille, France, 6-10 July 2011.
The U18 events at the five days of competition at Sydney Olympic Park were the official selection trials for the World Youth Championships. There was only one route to automatic nomination to the team – win your event and have two performances to your name equal to, or better than, the Australian selection standard. Otherwise, the selectors decide your fate.
The Australian selection standards were set against an expectation of finishing in the top eight in Lille. The majority of the athletes who met the standard did better than that, producing performances which would have yielded medals at most of the six previous editions of the youth titles.
Morgan impresses with 1.86m leap
Two athletes from Tasmania – Australia's smallest, southernmost and only non-mainland state – were among those to clinch automatic selections. Kaitlin Morgan improved her personal best by six centimetres in taking the U18 High Jump at 1.86m on the second day of the titles and Danni McConnell took out the Hammer Throw on the final day with a distance of 56.16m.
Morgan, who has just turned 16, turned the rainy conditions which marred her competition into a plus.
"It was pouring with rain half-way through the competition," she said, "and I think in a weird way it kind of reminded me of home.
"I can't wait to compete in France, learn from the experience and enjoy what should be a really good atmosphere," she added.
McConnell, who two years ago broke 2001 World Championships bronze medallist Bronwyn Eagles' Australian U16 record, had more than 20 qualifying performances against her name when she arrived in Sydney.
Cross breaks Hooker's U18 state record
On the men's side, Brodie Cross won both the U18 and U20 pole vault competitions, clearing 5.05m to break Steve Hooker's Victorian state record in the latter. Cross is coached by Mark Stewart, who was the original coach for both Hooker and women's multiple-World record setter Emma George.
Paris McCathrion was another vaulter to clinch automatic selection. She won the women's U18 event at 3.90m after a jump-off with last year's national champion and Youth Olympic silver medallist, Liz Parnov.
The women's 400m Hurdles on the final day of competition boasted no less than five competitors with a qualifying performance, but at the end of it Chloe Jamieson was the one who had booked a place for Lille.
Jamieson kept both her nerves and her rivals in check to win in 1:00.37. "I tried to stay relaxed this morning as I run my best when I'm not thinking too much," she said.
Sarah Carli, who finished second in 1:00.86, is one of a large group of athletes with a strong case for discretionary selection.
Sprinters Jarrod Geddes (100m), Hugh Donovan (200m) and Jack Sheridan (400m) will also be on the place to France. Geddes won the 100 in a wind-assisted 10.45, Donovan was second (21.60) to New Zealand's Josh Hawkins in the 200 and Sheridan won the 400 in 47.32.
Anna Laman, who does not turn 16 until 25 May, clinched selection in both the 800 and 1500, winning the former in 2:06.49 and the latter in 4:22.94. Laman ran 4:20.12 in finishing seventh at the IAAF World Challenge meeting in Melbourne on 3 March.
Monique Cilione improved her personal best by three metres in winning the women's javelin with 52.16 and is set for her first trip outside Australia.
"I've never been overseas before, so France is going to be great for so many reasons," she said, "and the chance to compete for Australia is awesome."
Filoi Aokuso (women's Discus), Matthew White (Javelin) and David Snowdon (High Jump) were others to book a place in the team with wins at the titles.
Nicholas Hough and Steve Solomon, two athletes who have been making an impact on the Australian Athletics Tour, continued to impress in the U20 events.
Hough, who won the 200 in Hobart and was second at the World Challenge meeting in Melbourne, took out a sprint treble in the 100 (10.40w), 200 (21.62) and 110 hurdles (14.15). He was also a member of New South Wales' winning 4x100 metres relay team.
Solomon, who beat Sean Wroe in the Melbourne 400, won that event in 47.30.
Dane Bird-Smith, fifth in the 10,000m Race Walk at last year's World Junior championships, won the U20 men's track 10,000 walk in 41:02.08, breaking the national record held by 2007 world 50k champion Nathan Deakes.

The 13 key factors that predict career success
Andreas Hirschi
Based on a review of the scientific literature on determinants of career success, our research team has identified 13 factors that are repeatedly confirmed as essential to achieve success. We call these factors "career resources" and they represent the four key areas of (1) Knowledge and Skills; (2) Motivation; (3) Environment; and (4) Activities. In a multi-step procedure, we have developed and validated a self-assessment that gives a person's individual career resources profile. This profile gives insights into the personal areas of strengths and weaknesses that can promote or inhibit career success.
We are excited to announce that you can now take the Career Resources Questionnaire for free and instantly obtain your own career resources profile on our website. Check it out!

What has a skatepark got to do with promoting Afrikan Sheroes and Heroes? Not much you would imagine… but Dynamix skatepark are doing exactly that, and they're doing it in the North-East at their base in Gateshead.
Dynamix Skatepark is much more than a skate park, with a vision to actively engage and collaborate with their local community (as well as further afield) to offer alternatives to the status quo of traditional thinking, learning, and creating. Throughout this autumn Dynamix will be rolling out a project to challenge people's thinking by focusing on Sheroes and Heroes of Afrikan Heritage.
Dynamix's Creative Director, Rosa Stourac McCreery, outlines their aim "to celebrate Sheroes and Heroes of Afrikan Heritage, and to explore the means by which we can actively challenge racism today, and change the narratives about the history of racism, colonialism and power, which takes the form of a number of events, workshops, and new spaces."
From the end of the month onwards Dynamix will be putting on a number of events including a production of The Tempest (28th October), an exhibition with the Ghanaian-British mural artist – Dreph, a workshop with Akala's Hip-Hop Shakespeare Company, and much more.
If you're in the North-East over the next few months get along and get involved! If you're interested in the work done by Dynamix have a look at their website, and in particular the wider vision for the organisation as much more than just a skatepark. In our current climate non-traditional service providers are likely to become the active agents for change in our communities, and Dynamix are already taking steps to do so.

Tywin Lannister is Lord of Casterly Rock, Shield of Lannisport and Warden of the West. The head of House Lannister, Tywin is one of the most powerful lords in Westeros, and is the father of Jaime, Cersei, and Tyrion Lannister. He loves his children Jaime and Cersei, but despises Tyrion. This is partly because Tyrion is deformed, but also Tywin blames his son for causing his beloved wife Joanna's death during his birth, as well as for shaming the family name with his frequent whoring.

Tywin Lannister is a calculating, intelligent, politically astute, ruthless, and controlling man. Tywin dedicated his life and efforts into maintaining the Lannisters' prestige, ensuring House Lannister is respected or at least feared. He is a proven battle commander and politician and has a very powerful presence combined with an unflinching gaze that can make lesser men swiftly turn away.
Tywin is a tall, slender, broad-shouldered man in his fifties. He has kept his head shaved ever since he started going bald, but grows out bushy golden side-whiskers and has green eyes flecked with gold. In battle, he wears deep crimson armor highlighted with gold, with a cloth-of-gold cape.[1]
Early life
Tywin was born to Tytos Lannister. Not much is known of Tywin's childhood, but his early years were formative ones, shaping his mind and resolve for the life that lay ahead of him. Tywin was forced to watch his mighty house nearly brought to ruin through his father's actions. His father while a gentle and amiable man was also weak willed and eager to please, loans went unpaid and his bannermen did what they pleased mocking him in their cups or openly defying him. Perhaps the most important moment for Tywin was the realization of what power meant, which was driven home when his father, tried to quell Lord Tarbeck, his most disloyal bannermen by having him imprisoned. Lord Tarbeck's wife responded by capturing three Lannisters and threatening to harm them if her husband was not returned. Tywin counseled his father to send Lord Tarbeck back to his Lady in three pieces, one for every Lannister captured, but Tytos was a gentler man than that, and he caved in to Lady Tarbecks demands further weakening the position of their house.[2]
As a result of his father's follies Tywin Lannister never laughed as he mistrusted laughter, hearing too much of it directed at his father and House Lannister in his youth. Tywin also seldom smiled when he was young and never smiled again after his wife's death.[3]
In his youth Tywin had been a friend and companion at court of Prince Aerys, whilst his cousin, Joanna Lannister, was a companion and lady-in-waiting to Princess Rhaella.[4]
In power
House Lannister's reputation was low because of Tywin's weak father, Tytos.[5] Tywin had to take ruthless steps to rectify the situation restoring the family honor and fortune from its near ruin. Tywin took upon himself the task of putting down his two most unruly houses, House Tarbeck and House Reyne, for their defiance. He did so with ruthless efficiency, destroying both houses entirely so that their lines were ended, leaving their ruined and shattered castles as a mute testimony to the fate that awaits those who scorn the power of Casterly Rock.[6] Such was the brutality of Tywin's destruction of House Reyne that a song called "The Rains of Castamere" was written as a tribute to the event. Indeed when Lord Farman of Faircastle grew truculent Tywin sent a messenger with a lute instead of a letter and once the "Rains of Castamere" was played Lord Farman caused no further trouble.
When Tywin's father Tytos finally keeled over of a burst heart while climbing a flight of steps to visit his mistress,[7] Tywin became the Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West. Upon his father's death Tywin found his father's mistress trying on one of his late mother's gowns. A common-born woman and the daughter of a chandler, the mistress dominated Tytos utterly, ordering about the household knights and dismissing servants and helping herself to his late wife's jewelery.[5] Tywin had her stripped naked and forced the sobbing woman to walk the streets of Lannisport to confess to every man she met that she was a thief and a harlot before banishing her from the Westerlands.[7]
Tywin married his cousin Joanna Lannister and from all reports the marriage was a happy one. Genna Lannister said that Tywin smiled on the day he wed Joanna.[3] It was said that though Tywin ruled the Seven Kingdoms (as Hand) he was ruled at home by his lady wife. Joanna gave him twins, Cersei and Jaime that he hoped would one day be Queen of Westeros and Lord of Casterly Rock, but then disaster struck when his beloved wife died giving birth to Tyrion, considered a hideous monster. Tywin was devastated by Joanna's untimely death and took no further wife. Gerion Lannister once told his nephew Tyrion that the best part of Tywin died when Joanna did.[8]
Tywin's ability came to the attention of King Aerys II Targaryen, who, impressed with the young and capable heir to Casterly Rock, appointed Tywin, who was twenty at that time, to be his Hand of the King. Tywin proved himself a brilliant administrator and held the post for twenty years of peace and plenty. Some people joked it was he and not the king who really ruled the land. It ended when Aerys' increasing paranoia and jealousy drove the two into several bitter disagreements. According to Ser Barristan Selmy, Aerys lusted after Tywin's wife when she was alive[9] which caused further friction between the two. Tension increased at the Tourney for King Aerys II in Lannisport in 276 AC when Aerys refused Tywin's offer to betroth Cersei to his heir, Prince Rhaegar. In 281 AC Aerys raised Jaime, Tywin's fifteen-year old son, to the Kingsguard, robbing Tywin of his prized heir; Tywin understood that the king's motivations were to make Jaime a hostage to use against his father. Upset at Aerys's treatment of Jaime at the Tourney of Harrenhal, Tywin resigned his position on some thin pretext and returned to Casterly Rock.
Robert's Rebellion and aftermath
When Robert's Rebellion began, Lord Tywin sat at Casterly Rock and waited, ignoring King Aerys's orders to arm, taking no side until after Robert Baratheon's decisive victory at the Battle of the Trident. After the battle, Tywin mustered his forces and rode for the capital of King's Landing. After Aerys was convinced by Grand Maester Pycelle that Tywin had come to aid him, he ordered the gates of the city opened for Tywin. The Westerlanders proceeded to sack the city. Aerys was killed by Jaime before Tywin's forces arrived at the Red Keep, but Gregor Clegane and Amory Lorch, knights sworn to Tywin and under Tywin's orders, slew Rhaegar's wife Elia of Dorne and her two young children, Rhaenys and Aegon. Tywin wrapped the bodies in crimson Lannister cloaks to better conceal the blood and presented them to Robert Baratheon as a token of fealty. When asked by his son Tyrion years later why Tywin did not let Robert bloody his own hands, Tywin's replied:
We had come late to Robert's cause. It was necessary to demonstrate our loyalty. When I laid those bodies before the throne, no man could doubt that we had forsaken House Targaryen forever. And Robert's relief was palpable. As stupid as he was, even he knew that Rhaegar's children had to die if his throne was ever to be secure. Yet he saw himself as a hero, and heroes do not kill children.[10]
While earning House Lannister the hatred of both House Martell of Dorne and the population of King's Landing, this act also secured the marriage of the new king, Robert Baratheon, to Tywin's daughter Cersei, whose proposed betrothal to Prince Rhaegar Targaryen had been rejected by Aerys much to Tywin's bitter disappointment. Cersei's marriage to the new, young, and popular king did much to make up for Tywin's earlier disappointment.
After the rebellion, Tywin returned to Casterly Rock, where he continued to serve as Lord and Warden of the West. In 289 AC Lord Balon Greyjoy began the Greyjoy Rebellion against King Robert by burning the Lannister fleet anchored at Lannisport. After the defeat of the Greyjoys, Tywin rebuilt his fleet[11] and hosted another tourney at Lannisport. Due to King Robert's financial mismanagement of the realm, as well as his own new connection to the throne by marriage, Lord Tywin frequently lent money to the crown, placing the court in King's Landing in debt of over three million gold dragons to House Lannister.
Though ruthless, Tywin Lannister is an able and shrewd ruler who brought great prosperity during his tenures as the King's Hand. He is especially talented at the raising of funds, leading to a persistent jest that he must "shit gold."[12] The common folk of Lannisport cheered twice as loud for Tywin at the Tourney for King Aerys II as they did for their actual king. Even so, Tywin is more respected than loved in the Westerlands and he became despised in King's Landing after his house treacherously sacked the city.
When Tywin discovered his son Tyrion wed a common girl, Tysha, which in Tywin's eyes would make the house a laughingstock again, Tywin taught him a sharp lesson. He commanded Tyrion's brother Jaime to name her a prostitute and made Tyrion watch as Tywin gave Tysha over to his garrison of guards, having each man pay the girl a silver coin after raping her. He forced Tyrion to do the same but pay the girl a gold coin.[13] He earned the enmity of his son forever for that act, but Tywin did not care, for it was on his other children that he placed all his hopes.
Tywin later refused to allow Tyrion to travel and see the world as Tywin's brothers had in their youth, fearing he would bring further shame on House Lannister and as a "gift" for Tyrion's sixteenth nameday he put his son in charge of cleaning all the drains of Casterly Rock.[14]
When Tyrion became 16-years-old, the official age of adulthood, he believed he would be free to do as he wished. Tywin disillusioned him, replying:
No man is free. Only children and fools think elsewise.[14]
Though Tywin's children also greatly respect him, none of them have been able to conform to the paths he had laid out for them, which causes many difficulties.[15]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Believed to be responsible for hiring an assassin to murder Bran Stark while he lay in a coma, Tywin's son Tyrion is arrested at the inn at the crossroads by Catelyn Tully, the wife of Eddard Stark, current Hand of the King. She takes him to her sister Lysa, at the Eyrie, for trial. Though Tywin does not care about Tyrion's welfare, he sees the arrest and kidnapping as a direct slight on House Lannister's honor which he will not tolerate. In response Tywin sends Ser Gregor Clegane and his men, disguised as brigands, to sack and pillage various villages and hamlets across the Riverlands, Catelyn's homeland.[16] These raids mark one of the seminal points in what is to become the War of the Five Kings.
Tywin's aim is to draw Eddard out of King's Landing, capture him, and exchange him for the freedom of his son.[17] Eddard, however, is injured in a skirmish on the streets of King's Landing with Tywin's son Jaime (Jaime was unaware of Tywin's plans) and sends Lord Beric Dondarrion in his stead. When Beric's forces reached the Mummer's Ford, soldiers of Tywin's and Gregor's attacked from all sides, routing Dondarrion's host. Dondarrion himself is mortally wounded, though he would be revived by Thoros of Myr and go on to form the Brotherhood Without Banners, which would continually harass the Lannister forces for the duration of the war.
As the war gains momentum, Tywin's forces take the majority of the Riverlands and lay siege to Riverrun before meeting their first real opposition in the Battle of the Green Fork. Just prior to the battle, Tyrion, having won his freedom from the Vale of Arryn via trial by combat and earned the loyalty of many of the mountain clans along the way, meets with his father. Tywin sends Tyrion and his clansmen into the battle on the left flank, believing the undisciplined men likely to rout, but giving the northern commander, which Tywin believed to be the young and inexperienced Robb Stark, a chance to over-commit and be annihilated.[18] The clansmen do not rout, however, and the northern commander is not Robb but instead the more cautious and experienced Roose Bolton. The battle is a Lannister victory, but it buys enough time for a separate northern force under Robb Stark's command to cross the Trident at The Twins and lift the siege of Riverrun, capturing Tywin's other son, Jaime, in the process.
After the death of King Robert, Tywin is named Hand of the King for his grandson Joffrey Baratheon.[19] After the battle, he sends Tyrion to King's Landing to serve as Hand in his stead, and to prepare the city's defenses in anticipation of an attack from one or both of Robert's brothers, Stannis and Renly, both of whom have laid claim to the Iron Throne, while Tywin manages the war with the North and the Riverlands.[20]
A Clash of Kings
The loss of Riverrun means that Tywin is not able to pursue and destroy Roose Bolton's forces. Instead he marchs south to Harrenhal while he ponders his next move. When Robb Stark marches from Riverrun and invades the Westerlands, smashing a new Lannister host being raised and trained by Stafford Lannister at Oxcross and turning his forces loose to scour the Westerlands, Tywin leaves Harrenhal and marches his forces west in pursuit. Robb's plan is to lead Tywin's army on a long chase across the Westerlands, bleeding his forces and living off of their lands. However, Edmure Tully, who had been tasked with holding Riverrun but was unaware of Robb's plan, meets Tywin's army in the field in the Battle of the Fords.[21]
Tywin's forces are bloodied and thrown back, but the delay allows word to reach Tywin that Stannis Baratheon has murdered his brother Renly and laid claim to much of his army, and that he is marching and sailing on King's Landing with an enormous force. Tywin turns his force southeast on a forced march to King's Landing, joining with the newly-allied forces of House Tyrell. Together they arrive just in time for the waning moments of the Battle of the Blackwater, where they are able to break and drive away the majority of Stannis' army, which had been on the cusp of victory, by taking them in the flank.[22] Tywin commands the host's right flank during the battle.[23] Tywin is declared Savior of the City by King Joffrey.[24] Tywin's son Tyrion, who had done much for the city's defenses, is critically wounded in the fighting.[25]
A Storm of Swords
Tywin's timely arrival at the Battle of the Blackwater allows him to take the majority of the credit for the Lannister victory. Tywin assumes his official position as King Joffrey's Hand,[26] while giving Tyrion, after his recovery, the position of Master of Coin, which Tyrion sees as a demotion and an insult. Tywin arranges for Tyrion to be wed to Sansa Stark[6] before she can be betrothed to Willas Tyrell, giving him claim over Winterfell and directly denying Tyrion's ambition to inherit Casterly Rock.[25] He also makes plans to find a suitor to marry his widowed daughter, Queen Cersei, though they are never realized. He offers her to Willas Tyrell but Mace Tyrell, after being hectored by his mother, Olenna Redwyne, refuses the match. Tywin demands that Tyrion act as if the offer were never made.[27]
After learning that Robb Stark has unexpectedly wed Jeyne Westerling and that House Westerling has gone over to the Starks, Tywin remains in communication, via raven, with Jeyne's mother Sybell Spicer. He also communicates with Roose Bolton, who has switched sides to the Lannisters after taking Harrenhal, and Lord Walder Frey, who sees Robb's marriage to Jeyne as an insult to House Frey, as it breaks a marriage pact Robb had previously made to wed a Frey girl. The Red Wedding is the direct result of their correspondence, which sees Robb Stark betrayed and murdered along with the vast majority of his host, effectively ending the war with House Lannister the victor.
Tywin Lannister has Ice, the Valyrian steel greatsword of Eddard Stark, melted down and reforged into two longswords as gifts, one for Joffrey on his wedding day and the other to Jaime.[27] Not long after, King Joffrey is poisoned and dies at the feast following his wedding to Margaery Tyrell. Tywin's son Tyrion is falsely accused of the crime, and Tywin agrees to be one of Tyrion's three judges, alongside Oberyn Martell and Mace Tyrell, at his trial. When it becomes clear that he is going to be found guilty, Tyrion demands trial by combat, and Oberyn surprisingly volunteers to champion him. Cersei, being Tyrion's accuser, selects Ser Gregor Clegane to represent the crown. Gregor, despite being poisoned by Oberyn during the trial, wins the duel, slaying Oberyn, and Tyrion is thus found guilty.[28]
Tywin faces huge political ramifications from the trial. Before slaying Oberyn, Gregor roars his guilt in slaying Elia Martell and her son for all the realm to hear. Tywin fears Dorne might join Stannis Baratheon, which could prolong the war for years. He plans on having Gregor executed to appease House Martell, but needs it to be seen to be the King's Justice who carries out the deed, not poison. Tywin commands Pycelle to heal Gregor, but Pycelle's efforts prove fruitless.[29]
Awaiting his sentencing, Tyrion is freed from the Red Keep's dungeon by his brother Jaime and a reluctant Varys. During his escape, Jaime reveals the truth about Tyrion's first wife Tysha, saying she was not a whore but a girl just met on the road and Tywin had made Jaime speak the lie to Tyrion. Tyrion is enraged by this and has Varys show him to a ladder that leads directly into the Tower of the Hand, Tywin's residence, Tyrion finds his ex-lover Shae in Tywin's bed, wearing nothing but his father's golden chain of office. Tyrion strangles her to death with it. He then takes a crossbow from the wall and finds Tywin in the privy and confronts him about Tysha. Tywin remains belligerent, repeatedly calling her a whore, which Tyrion sees as the final insult; shooting him through his bowels with the crossbow, mortally wounding him. Tywin dies while seated on the privy, his bowels loosening in the moment of death causing Tyrion to think as he left his father's body:
But the stink that filled the privy gave ample evidence that the oft-repeated jape about his father was just another lie. Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold.[30]
A Feast for Crows
After Tywin's body is discovered, it is prepared for a state burial. Cersei has the Kettleblacks remove the body of Shae and swears she will have the tongue removed of any man who mentions Shae was ever there.[7] The remains of Lord Tywin are shown for seven days in the Great Sept of Baelor before making its way west with an entourage of knights and lords from the Westerlands. The smell of the body is so bad many of the mourners grow sick or faint from being too near. A drying of the mouth also causes Tywin's lips to curl up and make him appear to smile.[31] This disturbs Jaime and Cersei, because Tywin Lannister seldom smiled.
A Dance with Dragons
Ser Kevan Lannister thinks of how Tywin would never have dreamed his golden daughter Cersei would experience a similar fate, a walk of shame, as Tywin made their father Tytos's mistress suffer.[32]
Quotes by Tywin
And dismissing Selmy, where was the sense in that? Yes, the man was old, but the name of Barristan the Bold still has meaning in the realm. He lent honor to any man he served. Can anyone say the same of the Hound? You feed your dog bones under the table, you do not seat him beside you on the high bench.[20]

Tyrion: You always were quick to grasp a situation, my lord, that must be why you're the Hand of the King.Tyrion: Now that's where you're wrong, Father. Why, I believe I'm you writ small. Do me a kindness now, and die quickly. I have a ship to catch. [30]
Tywin: You ... you are no ... no son of mine.
— Tywin and Tyrion Lannister
You cannot eat love, nor buy a horse with it, nor warm your halls on a cold night.[35]
- recollection by Cersei Lannister of Tywin to Jaime Lannister
Quotes about Tywin
I would sooner entrust a child to a pit viper than to Lord Tywin.[36]
— thoughts of Eddard Stark
A fool more foolish than most had once jested that even Lord Tywin's shit was flecked with gold. Some said the man was still alive, deep in the bowels of Casterly Rock.[1]
— thoughts of Tyrion Lannister
Every once in a very long while, Lord Tywin Lannister would actually threaten to smile; he never did, but the threat alone was terrible to behold.[6]
— thoughts of Tyrion Lannister
Joffrey: You talk about Aerys, Grandfather, but you were scared of him.
Cersei: Joffrey, apologize to your grandfather.Joffrey: Why should I? Everyone knows it's true. My father won all the battles. He killed Prince Rhaegar and took the crown, while your father was hiding under Casterly Rock.[10]
— Joffrey Baratheon and Cersei Lannister
Kevan: Tywin seems a hard man to you, but he's no harder than he's had to be. Our own father was gentle and amiable, but so weak his bannermen mocked him in their cups. Some saw fit to defy him openly. Other lords borrowed his gold and never troubled to repay it. At court they japed of toothless lions. Even his own mistress stole from him. A woman scarcely one step above a whore, and she helped herself to my mother's jewels! It fell to Tywin to restore House Lannister to its proper place. Just as it fell to him to rule this realm, when he was no more than twenty. He bore that heavy burden for twenty years and all it earned him was a mad king's envy. Instead of the honor he deserved, he was made to suffer slights beyond count, yet he gave the Seven Kingdoms peace, plenty and justice. He is a just man.
Tyrion: You love him.Kevan: He is my brother.[5]
— Kevan Lannister and Tyrion Lannister
Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold.[30]
- thoughts of Tyrion Lannister
I have served six kings, but here before us lies the greatest man I ever knew. Lord Tywin wore no crown, yet he was all a king should be.[31]
— Pycelle at Tywin's funeral
Men say Tywin never smiled, but he smiled when he wed your mother, and when Aerys made him Hand. When Tarbeck Hall came crashing down on Lady Ellyn, that scheming bitch, Tyg claimed he smiled then, and he smiled at your birth, Jaime, I saw with my own eyes.[3]
— Genna Lannister to Jaime Lannister
I was seven when Walder Frey persuaded my lord father to give my hand to Emm. His second son, not even his heir. Father was himself a thirdborn son, and younger children crave the approval of their elders. Frey sensed that weakness in him, and Father agreed for no better reason than to please him. My betrothal was announced at a feast with half the west in attendance. Ellyn Tarbeck laughed and the Red Lion went angry from the hall. The rest sat on their tongues. Only Tywin dared speak against the match. A boy of ten. Father turned as white as mare's milk, and Walder Frey was quivering. How could I not love him after that? That is not to say I approved of all he did, or much enjoyed the company of the man he became ... but every little girl needs a big brother to protect her. Tywin was big even when he was little.[3]
— Genna Lannister to Jaime Lannister
Are you down in some hell, Father? A nice cold hell where you can look up and see me help restore Mad Aerys's daughter to the Iron Throne?[37]
Tywin married his cousin Joanna Lannister, with whom he had three children: Cersei, Jaime and Tyrion. Joanna died when giving birth to Tyrion. It is unknown why Tywin named his first son Jaime, after no one known, and gave the traditional Lannister prefix of "Ty" to his deformed second son, Tyrion.

Important Tools for the New Canadian Homestead
Homesteading is quickly becoming the new "norm" in modern society. With a rising awareness of food production and how it is raised and processed, many people are making the move towards self sufficiency. In Canada, the long, harsh winters call for tools that will make life a little bit easier when the going gets tough.
Wood Stove for Heating
Wood stoves are perfect for keeping the home warm on the most frigid winter nights. As wood burns, it will have to be replenished in order to maintain heat. Therefore, there will need to be a prepared wood pile close to the home and a few days' supply of wood should be kept close-by indoors. Wood heating does not rely on electricity, which keeps the electric bill low if the home is on an electrical grid.
Log Splitters for Fuel
In order to power the wood stove, it will require fuel. This comes in the form of split logs that will burn easily. Splitting enough logs to last through a Canadian winter could take several weeks, so a bit of extra help could be a real life saver. It is fairly common to own or rent an electric wood splitter Canada. By purchasing one new, it can remain on the homestead and be relied upon year after year.
Off-Season Greenhouse
Since the Canadian growing season is rather short for some warm weather or long season crops, an off-season greenhouse will make it possible to start plants early in the spring indoors. Then, plants can be transplanted into the garden as the weather warms. Cool season crops can be grown in the greenhouse during the fall, as well.
Heated Livestock Troughs
With temperatures staying below freezing for much of the winter, frozen water sources can be quite problematic for the livestock. There are a wide variety of heated water troughs and electric water heaters that are available for this issue. Livestock must have access to water throughout the cold winter in order to stay hydrated and healthy.
Rain Barrels
Rain barrels are the perfect way to capture rain water and runoff from buildings. This water can then be used in the garden, or even in some plumbing applications. It may also be suitable for livestock use as well.
A new homestead is going to provide a family with lots of nourishment as the years go by. In the beginning, it is important to stock up on the tools the family will need to survive the Canadian winters.

Diversify.JournalismWith.Me features select digital-first, multi-platform journalists with expertise in everything from coding to content strategy
Anyone in the journalism business knows the industry has had a long-time problem with diversity. With the advent of converged digital newsrooms and myriad media start-ups, the problem has only gotten worse despite the best efforts of key players and organizations.
The issue first came to a head back in late 2010 when Retha Hill, after attending News Foo at Arizona State University wrote an essay for PBS MediaShift entitled "Why Are New Media Conferences Lacking in Minorities?" Hill, a digital pioneer at washingtonpost.com and BET.com, is the executive director of the digital innovation and entrepreneurship lab and professor of practice at ASU. Hill named journalists of color doing great things in the digital space, including: Dr. Sybril Bennett of Belmont University; Fern Shen of Baltimore Brew; Rick Hancock of MyMobilelyfe; Dr. Michelle Ferrier, Associate Dean for Innovation, Research/Creative Activity and Graduate Studies at Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University; and Chuck Creekmur and Greg Watkins of AllHipHop.com.
Hill's post sparked a discussion and a TweetChat, but most importantly, caught the eye of Emma Carew Grovum, at the time a digital journalist for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. She decided that talk wasn't enough, and so she created the Diversify Journalism With Me spreadsheet to serve as a resource for hiring managers and event planners who were always complaining that they couldn't find qualified journalists of color in the digital space.
Grovum recruited a group of us with strong ties to the digital journalism community: Sharon Chan of the Seattle Times; Robert Hernandez, Assistant Professor of Professional Practice at the University of Southern California; Michelle Johnson, Associate Prof. of Practice, Multimedia Journalism at Boston University; Doug Mitchell, a consultant and project manager for NPR and college instructor; Juana Summers, a reporter at NPR; and me.
The original list came out in early 2011, and for awhile, it was growing like gangbusters, reaching 130 listings. Just about anyone who wanted to be on it could. Then life got in the way, and the project fell by the wayside — until last fall. A group of us attending the Online News Association in Atlanta praised the organization (I serve on its board) for doing such a great job to have diverse speakers, and the conversation went from there.
That led to the group members talking about getting back together and updating the spreadsheet. But what really pushed the discussion forward was this piece — Journo-diversity advocate turns attention to Ezra Klein project — written in March by Erik Wemple of the Washington Post.
A flood of similar pieces followed, which led us to get serious about reviving the spreadsheet. We all agreed that the Google spreadsheet format was old and tired. We also agreed that the list needed to be more exclusive to show the industry we were serious about offering them the best of the best.
So we started from scratch, Thanks to Robert Hernandez, we secured the services of our project angel, Jenn de la Fuente, a former journalist who now owns the web design firm Rosebud Designs. She created the new website, which we feel looks more professional. The group also reached out to their networks and invited people we felt should be included, which is reflected on the site.
In the end, the goal was to eliminate that tired excuse of not being able to find quality journalists of color. The website, which currently has 35 listings, will continue to grow, and we hope it will be a resource for newsrooms going forward. Please be patient with us. We all have day jobs, and not everyone who applies will be accepted. So if you're interest in being on the list, email us at email@example.com and tell us why you should be added.

Improvements to Integrate High Pressure Alkaline electrolyzers for Electricity/H2 production from Renewable Energies to Balance the GRID
Key Objectives of the project
ELYGRID Project aims at contributing to the reduction of the total cost of hydrogen produced via electrolysis coupled to renewable energy sources, mainly wind turbines, and focusing on megawatt size electrolyzers (from 0,5 MW and up). The objectives are to improve the efficiency related to the complete system by 20% and to reduce costs by 25%. The work will be structured in 3 different parts, namely: cell improvements, power electronics, and balance of plant (BOP). Two scalable prototype electrolyzers will be tested in facilities which allow feeding with renewable energies (photovoltaic and wind).
Challenges/issues addressed
The Scientific and Technological challenges are:
Define new operation conditions for improvements in performance and efficiency.
Increase the current density by a factor of two, maintaining the same diameter stack.
Identify technical improvements related to the Balance of Plant (BOP).
Re-design power electronics.
Identification of technological market and local value-chain suppliers.
Outreach, social awareness and promotion of alkaline electrolysis coupled with renewable energy sources through demonstration projects, field testing and integration.
Shed light on RCS aspects for electrolyzer technology to facilitate commercialization worldwide.
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies carried out according to the practice guidance developed by the FCH JTI.
Technical approach/objectives
ELYGRID project will pay particular attention to the improvement of cell efficiency and to the reduction of electricity consumption of the electrolysis module, without decreasing in so doing the productivity or increasing the component costs. ELYGRID project focuses on large electrolyzers, in the range of megawatts, in which the hydrogen produced is much more economical, by a factor of 3 related to the smaller ones. Basically, an electrolyzer is composed of 3 subsystems: cell, power electronics and balance of plant (BOP). Technical objectives can be resumed as:
- Development of materials for membranes and electrodes for cell improvement, which will allow the electrolysis cell's operation at increased temperatures and increased electrolyte concentrations.
- New design of power electronics, to increase electrical efficiency at full and partial loads, allowing increasing density currents.
- Cost reduction and optimization in Balance of Plant (BOP), as well as in operation and maintenance.
- Field testing and monitoring of technology improvement.
- Market preparation and Dissemination: The objective of this work package is to prepare the future commercialization of electrolyzers, taking into account all the technical results acquired in the rest of the activities.
Expected socio and economic impact. Achievements/Results to date
An unavoidable feature of renewable resources (for example, sun and wind) is that electricity generation cannot be fully forecasted and does not usually coincide with the demand curve. In addition, electricity from wind farms is highly variable. Enabling a certain storage capacity within the wind farms would help to reduce the gap between the generation and the demand curve, as well as damping abrupt variations of the wind power generation.
Given the widespread concern with climate change and sustainable development, hydrogen is expected to be one of the main energy carriers in the near future and hydrogen produced via Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is considered to be a relevant way to produce green hydrogen without CO2 emissions. More to the point, among the different technologies to produce hydrogen, only water electrolysis from renewable sources is 100% CO2 free, furthermore representing an actual competitor to fossil fuels in terms of technical viability and efficiency.
It is expected that the results will have a considerable impact beyond the geographical and time scopes of the project, contributing to advancing of renewable energies, especially wind energy. Application of the results should not only benefit the EU, but could specially contribute to soften the serious environmental problems coming from developing countries which need new clean energy technologies to supply the electricity needed to support their socio-economic development, compatible with the preservation of the environment.
The project activities will include an assessment of potential commercial possibilities, and the participation of industrial partners also will contribute to successful market exploitation of results.

Court Throws Out Verizon, MetroPCS Net Neutrality Lawsuits
An appeals court on Monday threw out lawsuits filed by Verizon Wireless and MetroPCS that challenged the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules.
The court's decision, however, does not pass judgment on the FCC's rules. Instead, it threw out the suits on a technicality - Verizon and MetroPCS filed them too soon.
Verizon and MetroPCS sued the FCC in January, arguing that the commission did not have the authority to hand down its December net neutrality rules. The FCC maintains that it does indeed have the right to regulate broadband, thanks to provisions in the Communications Act.
When it filed its appeal, however, the FCC claimed that Verizon and MetroPCS filed their suits "prematurely." The appeals were filed before the net neutrality rules were published in the Federal Register, and are therefore invalid, the FCC said in a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
The court agreed with the FCC. "The prematurity is incurable," according to the ruling.
A Verizon spokesman said the decision is "another procedural step in the process."
"When we filed back in January, we indicated that the rules for filing an appeal under the FCC gudelines were a little unclear, and so we interpreted the rules to mean upon release of the rules, which is that 30-day window from December 21," he said.
As a result, Verizon pledged to file again once the rules have been published in the Federal Register, which has not yet happened.
A MetroPCS said that "since it is a legal matter, we can't provide any information or comment at this time."
In their lawsuits, both providers argued that the net neutrality rules are arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion of the Administrative Procedure Act, contrary to constitutional right and otherwise contrary to law.
Earlier this year, MetroPCS dropped its LTE plan prices to as low as $40 per month for 4G service. The plan includes unlimited talk, text, Web browsing, and YouTube via the Samsung Craft. That prompted consumer group Free Press to accuse MetroPCS of violating the net neutrality rules because additional features like mobile IM or access to audio downloads available on higher tiers would be another $10 or $20 per month.
MetroPCS said at the time that those complaints were "erroneous."
Earlier this year, Sen. Maria Cantwell unveiled net neutrality legislation intended to solidify the FCC's authority over broadband regulation. It would create a new section in Title II of the Communications Act for the FCC's net neutrality principles, among other things.
Editor's Note: This story was updated at 3:15pm Eastern with comment from Verizon and MetroPCS.

Updated Story 9/26/2017: We recently published another story on Igor Cornelsen, and his advice on healthy business.
Are you a business enthusiast looking to invest hugely? Consider Brazil.
Yes, Brazil has had it rough in recent years. But there has never been a better time to invest in the country. Over the years, Brazil has been one of the leading states attractive to international investors. This is because of favorable factors such as its strategic geographic position that allows access to raw materials and other South American countries.
Due to the low currency value and the high interest rates, many might think that Brazil's portfolio is just generally unpromising. However, prominent Brazilian investor Igor Cornelsen believes otherwise. According to Igor, the country's flagging economy only opens doors wide for investment opportunities.
Which are these opportunities?
Igor Cornelsen advises that with the country's current economy, investors and foreign banks should see it as an opportunity and start lending huge chunks of money with the hope of getting larger returns.
Recently, BGT Pactual, a Latin American investment bank, acted as a joint book runner for an infrastructure company known as CCR. This was the largest offering in the country since 2015; a move that sought to show other investors that Brazil can still fully recover from its economic crisis.
CCR as an infrastructure company deals with constructing roads and improving the transportation system. Therefore, with sufficient roads, airports, power generations and communications, more investors will be attracted to bet their wealth in the country.
The decline of Brazil's economy also most likely led to a massive fall in the retail consumer demand. For this reason, investor Igor Cornelsen firmly believes that focusing on huge retail transactions can be a great success for people looking to invest.
BTG Pactual also decided to invest in Lojas Americanas and BR Malls. Both are huge retailers in Brazil. Since consumer demand is growing again in the country, Lojas Americanas especially is set to improve and highly benefit.
Another factor, according to Igor Cornelsen's Facebook, that should attract investors in Brazil is the foreign currencies. More valuable currencies such as the Dollar, the Euro, and the Pound are currently trading at the highest levels. A smart investor, therefore, would strive to earn in Brazil in any of the currencies.
Something good becomes great when you at least share it with another person or persons. Igor profoundly believes in this tip. The Latin American investment bank also advises other domestic companies always to strive to win international buyers. This way, having more investors will help to elevate Brazil's various sectors.
For instance, the bank talked the major company in Brazil into being acquired by a Canadian investor that deals with infrastructure. These foreign investors more than often take a country's economy a notch higher.
One cannot be entirely confident about the economic future of Brazil; but as Igor Cornelsen advises, it is much better to be optimistic than pessimistic. The political groups in the country may still be weak and unreliable, but there are very many public projects sponsored by the government.
Clever investors should run to support and participate in these projects. The opportunities are almost endless: public transport, tourism, highways, airports, railways, telecommunications. Surely a serious person or company looking to invest cannot miss a spot.
Moreover, Brazil has a number ups that can really be beneficial to investors. For instance, due to the weak economy, export sectors can intentionally make the country's products cheaper for foreign buyers. This, for any smart investor, is an excellent opportunity that does not come by every day.
Born and raised in Brazil, South America, Igor is a retired investor who became very prominent and popular during his time. He still is. Igor is the founder and proprietor of Bainbridge Investments Inc.; a firm that helps potential investors make the right moves by offering them long-term investment strategies.
Igor is a great investment adviser. He has also been in important leadership positions in various banking firms in Brazil. He has successfully managed huge popular banks in the world, earning the trust of many.
For anyone looking for an unbiased opinion or intelligent advice to do with business, Igor Cornelsen is the person to consult. As a highly experienced banker and an investment guru, the man has so much to offer. Read more about Igor on CrunchBase.

We're delighted to announce a new and worthy addition to the MethLab roster, in the form of French Neuro // Tech Drum and Bass trio - 'SIGNS'. Their first release as a trio was a pair of tracks that caught the eye of Optiv, and released subsequently as 'Bash Around' on his personal Red Light Records label. We became aware of this after first catching our attention with their contribution to Bad Taste Recording's 'Soul Synthetic' LP, featuring some of the finest up and coming minds in the world of DnB. Cause4Concern Recordings was next to snatch them up for the 'Indigo' EP, which was released in August (and is available to buy here) from which the track 'Desert Storm' was picked up by Blackout TV (see below).
This quick succession of releases in just a single year has captured the attention of labels and Dj's across the DnB landscape; validated by the trio's incredible production skills, attention to sonic details - and more importantly - a strong creative drive and desire to experiment; which will be very evident in upcoming releases. We've had a chance to hear some fractions of Sign's future output, and I can state that we were simply stunned in the best way possible - you have no idea what's coming, but we can tell you it's special.
Be ahead of the curve and BOOK SIGNS FOR A SHOW BY CLICKING HERE before demand for them goes through the roof over the next year.
You can read their full bio at the bottom of this article, and follow them on Soundcloud here
SIGNS are an upcoming DnB trio with their roots in Toulouse, France. Having all separately made their marks on the DnB scene with releases on labels including Dissected Culture, Chronic, Trouble On Vinyl, Vandal Rec, 36Hertz and Kosen Prod (for whom they also act as an artistic advisor); they emerged into a whole new realm of production after combining their talents. Already hugely respected in the French DnB circuit, they have subsequently exploded into International awareness with 3 massive releases on Optiv's 'Red Light Records', Vega's 'Bad Taste Recordings' and Cause4Concern's "C4C Recordings".
With their releases straddling the Tech and Neuro genres, their sound has massive appeal, and combined with their energetic live show they have the power to send any dancefloor into fits. Following the release of 'Bash Around // Osaris' on Red Light, it became immediately apparent to both them and their peers that they were onto something; becoming fully focussed and locked into the the Opsen Sound Laboratory. Within 4 months, they had written the tracks that would go on to feature on Bad Taste's 'Soul Synthetic' compilation and their full 'Indigo' EP for C4C. Such momentum from the outset in the DnB world is rare, and a sign of something special - with producers such as Audio, as well as Optiv taking careful note and giving support to their evident talent. The trio are continually making further progress in the studio, carefully carving out what is set to be a bright future through their maturing sound. SIGNS is definitely a name to keep a close eye on over the next 12 months, big things are underway!

This is My Father's World
This is My Father's World, an American hymn by Maltbie Babcock, goes with the Introduction of a new Ecumenical Catechism.
Here is the Fountainview Academy version of "This is My Father's World," performed with orchestra, with singing from a canoe in British Columbia.
Born in Syracuse, New York in 1858, Maltbie Davenport Babcock graduated from Syracuse University with highest honors, then from Auburn Theological Seminary. A baseball player while in college, Babcock wrote his most famous hymn while serving as a Presbyterian pastor in Lockport, New York, He used to tell his wife he was going out to see "His Father's World" while walking overlooking Lake Ontario. He was later called as pastor of larger churches in Baltimore and New York City.
Maltbie Babcock had a holistic view of life and work. Here is one of his many memorable quotes:
"The world is God's workshop; the raw materials are His; the ideals and patterns are His; our hands are "the members of Christ," our reward His recognition. Blacksmith or banker, draughtsman or doctor, painter or preacher, servant or statesman, must work as unto the Lord, not merely making a living, but devoting a life. This makes life sacramental, turning its water into wine. This is twice blessed, blessing both the worker and the work."
This alludes to Colossians 3:23-24. The Apostle Paul wrote these words to the church at Colossae:
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."
Other verses in the Bible teach that all honest work is sacred unto the Lord when performed by a Christian. Of course, people of other faiths can also do their work to the glory of God, who made all people in His image.
Here are the lyrics to Rev. Babcock's famous hymn:
"This is my Father's world,
And to my list'ning ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas—
His hand the wonders wrought."
"This is my Father's world:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world:
He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me everywhere."
"This is my Father's world:
Oh, let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world,
The battle is not done:
Jesus who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav'n be one."
The tune was written by Franklin L. Sheppard in 1915.
Rev. Babcock led a fund-raising effort to assist Jewish refugees from Russia, victims of a pogram in the 1880s. So he lived the last verse and did something about it.
A 1910 biography said of him,
"Babcock was preeminently a preacher. He was a clear thinker and a fluent speaker, with a marvelous personal magnetism which appealed to all classes of people, and the influence of which became in a sense national. His theology was broad and deep, yet without a touch of present-day uncertainty. Added to the genius of spirituality he had the genius of work, and it was owing to his unselfish devotion to the great work of uplifting mankind that he literally wore himself out and died at the early age of forty-two. Noted for his impartial charity, he reached people in countless ways and exerted everywhere a remarkable personal magnetism. While he published no books he may be said to have 'lived, or sung his thoughts'."
Rev. Babcock died in Naples, Italy in 1901, reportedly at his own hand, while being treated for brucellosis, then called "Mediterranean fever." This bacterial infection causes fever, pain and depression. Depression has claimed the lives of many people before and since that time and is no joking matter.
Here are two more Babcock quotes,
"Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings to counting your troubles."
"Business is religion, and religion is business. The man who does not make a business of his religion has a religious life of no force, and the man who does not make a religion of his business has a business life of no character."
King David of ancient Israel wrote these inspired words in Psalm 19:1: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
The photograph in the LinkedIn and Patch articles was taken by a friend outside our building during today's partial solar eclipse. It is on its side. The angled surface is the roof of the building. I viewed it with more than a hundred coworkers as people all across America paused to view the partial or total solar eclipse.
The New Testament Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans (verse 1:20), "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse."
In our modern world people have scientific knowledge that often leads us to discount God's hand in creation. To many of us, however, the orderly creation that allows scientists to predict the motions of the planets testifies to His power and knowledge. Maltbie Babcock recognized God's hand in creation in his hymn; another coworker who snapped a great photo today through the clouds admitted that he only took the picture and gave credit to the Creator.
Discussion questions for second session:
1. What did you think of the introduction?
2. If you are in a workplace study group, how do you interact with those who hold differing views? How does a person's theology impact your particular line of work?
3. Do you have to believe in a literal account of Genesis 1-3 to accept the Fall of man?
4. How does this reconcile with theistic evolution, or is it incompatible?
5. Do you accept original sin from your observations of people and their behavior from early childhood? If not, do you accept that you are a sinner?
6. As you take prayer requests for members of your study group, remember to pray for leaders in your workplace, other churches, and government leaders of all nations.

Price: $1,720.00
Where to Buy: Louis Vuitton Stores
Bagopedia's Rating: 1 Bag (Out of 5)
Bagopedia's Comment: Bagopedia thinks these small evening bags are useless and expensive. This bag is the same size as a long wallet- same length, width, and depth. There is no room other than some bills, cards, and a mirror (comes with). This bag has no depth and can't even carry a lipstick or cell phone. Carrying your own Louis Vuitton wallet does the same trick and is less expensive.
Bagopeida's suggestion: Get an evening bag that is slightly bigger or a thicker hard-shell clutch.
Get a similar look for less:

I sense the debate over gun control is entering into a new phase and the gun lobby is losing. After Obama's second victory, the wind changed. Republicans are suffering uncertainty, and many of them grow restless. We have absorbed years of mass murders, random violence and accidental shootings. If the nation is no longer is no able to absorb those deaths, then Congress will act first against multiple-shot magazines for guns intended for in war.

That man can be found at the center of Werner Herzog's films. He is Aguirre. He is Fitzcarraldo. He is the Nosferatu. He is Timothy Treadwell, who lived among the grizzlies. He is Little Dieter Dengler, who needed to fly. She is Fini Straubinger, who lived in a land of silence and darkness since she was 12. He is Kaspar Hauser. He is Klaus Kinski. He is the man who will not leave the slopes of the Guadeloupe volcano when it is about to explode. He is those who live in the Antarctic. She is Juliana Koepcke, whose plane crashed in the rain forest and she walked out alive. He is Graham Dorrington, who flew one of the smallest airships ever built to study the life existing only in the treetops of that rain forest.
• As told to Roger Ebert
Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin walk into a hotel room, and that sounds like the set-up for a joke. It's more like a long-delayed punchline. These guys have been stars for more than 40 years, but until "Stand Up Guys," they've all three never been in a movie together. Arkin and Pacino were in "Glengarry Glen Ross" together, and Walken and Pacino were both in "Gigli," but that's as far as it goes.
I mention they go way back.
"Yes, absolutely," Walken says. "I've known Al for decades, from New York and from, you know..."
"He didn't know I was an actor," Pacino says, "until we did this movie. He'd just see me around the street a lot."
My good Sun-Times pal from the 1970s at the Chicago Sun-Times, Cynthia Dagnal, wrote me today:
"A friend in London sent me this, obituary from the London indpendent and I was stunned to see that Jeni Le Gon attended the same Southside dancing school in Chicago that I did. It was probably the most reputable one on that side of the "color line," and not very far from my house. So I studied with the younger "protégés" of Mary Bruce, and all those cute pics of me in little but EXPENSIVE tutus and whatnot that I sometimes use on my blogs are reminders of those days! I took tap, jazz and ballet as a wee one, and loved to walk around en pointe all day long in those danged--and also expensive--toe shoes!"
Booked into the Auditorium Theater in Chicago in the 1930s, Orson Welles was confronted by a snowstorm of historic proportions. Most of his audience couldn't make it to the theater.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen," he said. "My name is Orson Welles. I am an actor. I am a writer. I am a producer. I am a director. I am a magician. I appear onstage and on the radio. Why are there so many of me and so few of you?"
No favorable review I've ever written has inspired more disbelief than my three stars for "Speed 2." Even its star, Sandra Bullock, started mentioning in interviews her disgust with herself for agreeing to star in it. It's frequently cited as an example of what a lousy critic I am. (Note well: Siskel also gave it thumbs up.) All the same, I'm grateful to movies that show me what I haven't seen before, and "Speed 2" had a cruise ship plowing right up the main street of a Caribbean village.
Here is a collection of a dozen of the best documentaries I saw in 2012. It's not a "best of the year" list. Just some good memories of these films.I will not burden you again with another complaint about lists. More than ever, I despise them because they shift focus away from a film and toward a list. When I recently caught up with "Django Unchained," for example, I gave it four stars. The comments section was overrun with readers asking if that meant it was now on my Top Ten list. One reader insisted on knowing which title it replaced. Although the piece was some 2,000 words long, another reader insisted he still wanted to see "my official review."
The Oscars are the most important way the American film industry can honor what it considers the year's best work. But for millions of movie lovers all over the globes, they are something else: A show.
That's why I suspected last June that Quvenzhané Wallis might win a nomination. The pride of Hounduras Elementary School in Houma, LA, has now become, at nine, the youngest nominee in history for Best Actress. Her story is even better: She was five when she auditioned for the role, and six when she performed it.
Rating: Four stars
Consider now the curious character of Dr. King Schultz. He is an itinerant dentist who works from his little wagon, traveling the backroads of the pre-Civil War South. As Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" opens, we see a line of shackled slaves being led through what I must describe as a deep, dark forest, because those are the kinds of forests we meet in fairy tales. Out of this deepness and darkness, Schultz (Christoph Waltz) appears, his lantern swinging from his wagon, which has a bobbling tooth on its roof.
Michael Haneke's "Amour," which won the Palme d'Or last May at Cannes, was voted Saturday the best film of 2012 by the prestigious National Society of Film Critics. The award, coming on the eve of voting for the 2013 Academy Awards, confirms "Amour" as a Best Foreign Film frontrunner. Other NSFC winners will also draw welcome attention.
