Drugs, worth 83m/-, were allocated by the government to eight 'ghost' dispensaries in Kilwa district, Lindi region between 2007 and 2010, thanks to cheats by council's unscrupulous civil servants.
Revealing the scandal before Kilwa District Full Council held at Kilwa Masoko recently, the District Council Executive Director, Adoh Mapunda, reported that unfaithful civil servants created eight ghost dispensaries.
He said six of the dispensaries were reportedly granted registration even before construction and two were non existent at all.
He told the councillors that the central government allocated 7.3m/- for each dispensary and the Medical Stores Department (MSD) supplied drugs. Mapunda stated that the scandal had been discovered by the council's Internal Auditor after working on his instructions.
"Following an investigation at 51 health stations by the Internal Auditor, it was discovered that the 'ghost' dispensaries had already been allocated drugs. They include Mitole, Hoteli Tatu, Kiranjeranje, Kisongo, Mchakama, Nangurukuru, Mikole and Kimbalambala," he said.
The DED said the Internal Auditor's report also showed that two out of the eight 'ghost' dispensaries listed above were allocated a total of 14.7m/- each for drugs. This brings the total drugs allocated to non existent dispensaries to 83m/-.
Mapunda told the full council that the move by unfaithful civil servants was hazardous to his council because it was allocated extra drugs beyond its demand supply. He said the extra allocation could have been sent to other needy places in the country.
Kilwa District Council has a total of 43 dispensaries, five health centres and two hospitals.
The full council meeting commended the director's initiative which uncovered dubious misappropriation of drugs. They called for legal actions against all those behind the dirt game.
Speaking on behalf of other councillors, Lihimalyao councillor Mahadhi Nangoma said the report should be given a befitting treatment and the culprits must be taken to court to answer charges against them.
"This is very embarrassing and is an economic sabotage of highest order. Those implicated in the scam must be dealt with accordingly and there should be no mess on them at all," he stressed.

New Bern Police are investigating a second break-in at a computer repair store.
The I Fix store in new Bern was robbed around midnight Monday night. New Bern police tell us cash, computer parts, and phone parts were stolen, and the store sustained significant damage. They're examining the store's surveillance video for any leads. After dealing with another break-in back in September the store owners say they've had enough.
"We just want the people stopped. It's not necessary. Not only are they taking our personal stuff, they're taking our customers' stuff that has information on it that should not be out there and we want them to stop," said I Fix owner Kelley Dorsey.
New Bern police tell us they don't have any suspects. The store is offering a $1,000 reward for anyone who has information that can lead to arrests.

North Carolina Targeted For Anti-Gay Amendment
Jim Burroway
February 10th, 2009
North Carolina is the only Southern state without an anti-gay marriage amendment. The Winston-Salem-based group, Return America, has announced that they will hold a thousands-strong rally at the North Carolina Legislative Building on March 3. The Christian Action League and NC4Marriage are also supporting the rally.
On Feb 22, NC4Marriage will urge pastors and churches to participate in special services for "Marriage Sunday". That day will also be used to inform congregants about the rally a week later.
Equality North Carolina plan a their own rally at the Capital for March 24.

Barry Bower is proud of every detail of the Muckdogs. As he was showing the BEAST around Dwyer Stadium in Batavia during a rain delay prior to the scheduled start of last Thursday's game. Bower, who is Chairman of Batavia Regional Recreation Corporation, spoke of them being a community-owned and operated team. He spoke of the Muckdogs being featured in a Hollywood motion picture last summer, and he also spoke with equal pride of Batavia being--as far as he knew--the third smallest market in professional sports.
Who are the two smaller markets?
Cocking his head over his shoulder towards the visitor's dugout, Bower said, "Oneonta's one of them. I don't know who the other one is."
The Onenonta single-A Tigers stalked into Batavia last week on a season-opening tear. They were 8-1, had shutout the 'Dogs the previous night 2-0 and were now waiting for a field-flooding, thunder storm to pass so they could resume their dominance of The Pinckney Division of the New York-Penn League.
the abrupt but brief deluge--one that was accompanied by violent
and very nearby electrical activity--moved east, the fans
came out from under
the shelter of the aluminum grandstand and milled around the puddled-over concession area waiting for an announcement that play would begin as soon as the tarp was cleared from the infield.
Over at the visitors bullpen Tiger pitchers skipped stones across the pools of rainwater in right field that would land in the gaps, alleys, and various batting lanes of everywhere from right-center over to straight-away left field. They left their jetsam there to likely be found later by unwitting outfielders.
'Dogs first baseman Rob Calfiero from Long Island watched from the home team's bullpen as the grounds crew (which includes the 'Dogs ubiquitous media/radio guy Jonathan Meyer) tried to unclog drains and find places to push the flood waters.
"The main difference between college ball and playing up here is getting used to wood bats," said Calfiero, who graduated with a degree in management from Villanova this year. He is being platooned with left-handed hitting first baseman Ryan Barthelemy. Calfiero bats right but says he sees a lot of right-handed pitching. "They don't platoon us because of pitching. It's pretty much two games on, two games off."
At this level, coaches certainly cannot be hiding hitters from challenging situations. Calfiero also said that, more difficult than facing right-handed pitching or the adjustment of switching from the lethally explosive aluminum bats, so pervasive in amateur baseball, to the more pitcher-friendly ash and maple bats of the pros, is the fact that in A-ball "You never get a pitch to hit. You see nothing out over the plate. It's all in tight (he gestures with both fists as though they are hand-cuffed to his sternum) or way outside. Nothing's over the plate."
In this early stage of the season it must seem that way for a few of the 'Dogs. As a team they are hitting .251. The two first basemen are hitting a combined .200, with 1 HR, 7 RBI, and 17 strikeouts between them in the first 15 games.
On the upside, catcher and Californian Mark McRoberts, back after hitting .350 in 6 games for the 'Dogs last season, is hitting at a .419 clip so far, with a pair of doubles and a team-leading 3 homers. Shortstop Carlos Rodriguez of Dominican Republic is hitting .339 and leads the squad in both hits (20) and stolen bases (7).
On the mound, Venezuelan Erick Arteaga has given up only 4 runs in 21.2 innings but has yet to gain a decision. Carlos Cabrera, also of Dominican Republic, is 2-0 with an ERA of 0.95.
Playing the rest of their 76-game schedule with only three days off between now and September 4 won't leave a lot of time for individual instruction. And the road can be tough. Six times over the course of the season the Dogs play a home-and-home series with the Jamestown Jammers where they alternate successive nights at each other's stadiums, for up to three games. When the 'Dogs play in Jamestown though they drive back to Batavia after the game.
"We get in about 1 or 2 in the morning," says Cafiero.
All the players on the Muckdogs are housed with someone from the community to whom the player pays a modest fee from his modest salary.
The 'Dogs have been on both sides of a three-game streak this year but went into Wednesday night's game, the last of a five game road trip, against the Mahoning Valley Scrappers of Niles, OH (a city near Youngstown), having won four of their last five. They were 8-7 overall and one game back of the Pinckney Division-leading Jammers.
"They've got a real nice park down there," Calfiero said of the Scrappers, "Some guy with a shoe store or factory or something gave them a bunch of money to build a park. It's right by the mall." He grinned and said, "At least they've got a mall. Here, you have to drive a half-an-hour for," he paused, searching the infield with his gaze, "for anything."
About an hour and forty minutes after the scheduled start of the game, the PA announcer declared that the game would be postponed until the next day and played as part of a doubleheader. When asked what the young 'Dogs would do with their night off, pitching coach Warren Brusstar said, "I don't know. It's their first one." Then he looked out into the storm-traced twilight sky, over the right-center field wall, perhaps remembering a night off from his playing days, and said, "There's not much to do around here."
Next night, the 'Dogs dropped the first game of the doubleheader to Oneonta 6-2 but came back to win the late game 4-3, setting them off on their recent winning campaign.

Tyrion Lannister
this wiki
- "My brother has his sword, and I have my mind..."
- ―Tyrion Lannister
Tyrion Lannister is a major character in the first and second season. He is played by starring cast member Peter Dinklage and debuts in the series premiere. Tyrion Lannister is the youngest son of Lord Tywin Lannister, and uses his wit and intellect to overcome the prejudice he faces as a dwarf. He is falsely accused of the attempted assassination of Bran Stark and taken captive. His imprisonment by Catelyn Stark ( formerly Tully), even though he is eventually released after a trail by combat, causes the Lannister forces to attack the Riverlands of the Tully's, and triggers the War of the Five Kings, which is then escalated by the death of Robert Baratheon and arrest of Eddard Stark. Tyrion rejoins the army of Tywin Lannister, and as the army was essentially surrounded by Stark forces, Tywin send Tyrion, who has shown examples of clear judgement of situations, to the court at King's landing in his place as acting Hand of the King to his newly crowned nephew Joffrey Baratheon, hoping he will prevent future bad descisions, such as Ned Starks execution. With him he takes a prostitute named Shae who he makes his mistress and comes to love. Under difficult conditions, Tyrion Lannister holds the city together, strengthens and organizes the city's defenses, and makes vital alliances with the Houses of Tyrell and Martell. He manages to hold on until the combined armies of Lannister and Tyrell arrive to defeat their enemies. Tyrion was grievously injured during the Battle of Blackwater and afterwards lost his position as the Hand when Tywin Lannister arrived to claim it.
Tyrion Lannister is the youngest son of Joanna Lannister and Lord Tywin Lannister. Tywin is the head of House Lannister, the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms and Lord Paramount of the Westerlands. The Westerlands are one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Lannister of Casterly Rock is one of the Great Houses of the realm He is the younger brother of Jaime and Cersei Lannister. His mother Joanna Lannister died giving birth to him. His father and sister blame him for the death.[1]
He is a dwarf, causing him problems and persecution. His size has lead to him being refered to derisively by various names, like Imp and half man. This is mitigated by his intellect and his family's wealth and power. Had an infant with dwarfism like Tyrion been born a commoner, he'd have simply been left out in the woods to die. However, Tyrion was born into a powerful noble House, and was therefore spared. Even though his father doesn't think much of him, he has had the benefits of being raised with wealth and education, and is expected to lead his life as a credit to the Lannister name. [2] He is committed to the good of both his house and, since Cersei married King Robert Baratheon, the continuation of this branch on the throne. [1]
When Tyrion was very young, he met a wheelwright's daughter named Tysha on the road, apparently the victim of an attempted rape. Whilst his brother Jaime ran off the attackers, Tyrion helped Tysha recover from the ordeal, and they became lovers. They found a drunken, wandering septon wiling to marry them and briefly, they lived as husband and wife. That is, until Lord Tywin learned what had happened. Jaime confessed that he organized the incident to make his brother happy, and Tysha was actually a prostitute. As a lesson, Tywin had his guards rape Tysha while forcing Tyrion to watch, paying her for each man with a silver coin. By the end, there were so many silver coins that they were running out of her hands onto the ground. Tyrion has reciprocated Tywin's hatred ever since.[3]
His two siblings have had positions of respect and responsibility since their teens. When he was 18, Tywin Lannister named Tyrion master of the drains and cisterns at Casterly Rock. Tyrion brags that the sewage never flowed smoother to the sea.
Tyrion spends a lot of time at court in King's Landing to avoid his father. He gets on well with Jaime and his neice Myrcella and nephew Tommem, but has a colder relationship with Cersei and his sadistic nephew Joffrey. [4] He has a fondness for prostitutes and drink, but is also intelligent, cunning and educated.
Season 1
Tyrion accompanies King Robert Baratheon's party to Winterfell, but after weeks on the road he leaves the party and rides ahead to seek the pleasures of the winter town's brothels, where he makes the acquaintance of Ros.[5] He gives the prostitute a Lannister lion necklace to thank her for their time together.[6] Jaime convinces him to join the family for dinner. Tyrion dawdles outside the feast hall, reluctant to make nice with the Starks and his own family, and as a result meets Jon Snow, Lord Eddard Stark's bastard son. He realises that Jon is something of a kindred spirit: "All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes."[5]
When Tyrion's nephew, Prince Joffrey Baratheon, refuses to pay his respects to Lord and Lady Stark after Bran's fall, Tyrion slaps him three times until he acquiesces. He then breakfasts with his family, where he reveals that he wants to go and visit the Wall, to see it and piss off of it he says to the laughter of Tommen and Myrcella, before returning to King's Landing. He takes an interest in Bran's fall and how it happened, noting carefully his brother and sister's reactions to the news that Bran is likely to live.[7]
On the road to Castle Black, Tyrion tells Jon that he likes to read as it keeps his wits sharp, just as his brother's whetstone keeps his sword sharp. Reaching the Wall, even Tyrion is temporarily rendered speechless by the size and scale of the structure.[7] During his stay, Tyrion watches the new recruits train. He realizes that Jon Snow, due to his advantages of being trained by a castle weapon master at Winterfell, is acting superior to his fellow recruits and thus is earning their enmity by taking out his frustrations that the Night's Watch is not all he hopes by embarrassingly beating them in training. After Tyrion points this out Jon begins helping the others train, earning their respect and friendship. Maester Aemon and Lord Commander Jeor Mormont ask him to use his influence at court to get more men and resources sent to the Night's Watch. Tyrion is sympathetic but doesn't believe that there is anything more dangerous than wildlings beyond the Wall. However, Benjen Stark's account of life beyond the Wall gives him pause. Tyrion befriends Yoren, a recruiter for the Watch, and they agree to travel back to the capital together.[8]
Pausing at Winterfell on the return trip home, Tyrion gives Bran plans for a special saddle so that he can ride even in his crippled state. He taunts Theon Greyjoy about his family's defeat during their uprising before leaving. Stopping at the Crossroads Inn on the way home, he is surprised to meet Catelyn Stark, and even more so when she denounces him as an attempted murderer and has him arrested by her father's bannermen to face the King's justice. She was told by Petyr Baelish that the knife used in the assassination attempt of Bran was one Tyrion won from Petyr at a jousting tournament [9] Catelyn takes Tyrion, protesting his innocence, to the Eyrie. A sellsword from the inn, Bronn, accompanies them and notes Tyrion's wealth and a promise he will handsomely reward any man who aids him. Along the way they are attacked by some of the hill tribes and Tyrion kills his first man, bashing in the skull of an attacking tribesman with a shield. Tyrion warns Catelyn that her sister, Lysa, has become irrational with grief and will try to kill him. She is skeptical, but at the Eyrie Tyrion's warning proves accurate. Lysa hysterically accuses him of trying to kill not just Bran, but also her husband Jon Arryn, former Hand of the king who died suddenly which Lysa tells Catelyn was one of the Lannisters doing. Tyrion is thrown into one of the Eyrie's 'sky-cells', dungeons which simply open on their fourth side to the open air with a drop of many thousands of feet to the valley below.[6]
Tyrion bargains with his jailor, Mord, to get an audience with Lady Arryn. He 'confesses' to being a whoremonger and dwarf, but truthfully insists that he is not guilty of the crime of murdering Jon Arryn or trying to murder Bran. He demands a trial by battle as is his right and his wish is granted when the sellsword Bronn agrees to stand as his champion. Bronn defeats and kills Lady Arryn's champion, Ser Vardis Egen. By the laws of Westeros this means that Tyrion has proven his innocence in the eyes of the gods, and he is released from the Eyrie to face the perilous journey back through the tribesman-infested hills. Bronn accompanies him.[10] Tyrion establishes some ground rules with Bronn, saying he will pay more money than anyone else who attempts to bribe him to betray Tyrion. They are then surrounded by men of the hill tribes, led by Shagga. Tyrion uses his quick wits and words to win the allegiance of the tribes, offering to equip them for battle and help them conquer the Vale of Arryn in return for their help. Shagga agrees, thought notes that if Tyrion tries to renege on his promise he will cut off his manhood and feed it to the goats.
Tywin Lannister's forces have beenattacking the Riverlands ever since Catelyn Tully arrested Tyrion. It's not that he cares so much about Tyrion, he explains to Jaime that even though Tyrion is the least of them he is still a Lannister, and if they put up with one of their own being taken forcefully, they risk losing the respect of the other houses. The hillmen deliver Tyrion to his father's army, where he learns that Robb Stark is leading an army to war. Tyrion warns his father that Robb should not be underestimated. Tywin agrees to honor Tyrion's alliance with the hill tribes. When Shagga says they will only fight if Tyrion is with them on the field, Tywin agrees, to Tyrion's dismay.[11]
Tyrion is commanded by his father to lead the hill tribes into battle from the front. Feeling that his father means to kill him, Tyrion retires to his tent, where he finds that Bronn has found a prostitute for him, a girl named Shae. Tyrion attempts to learn more about Shae, but finds his questions deflected. Instead he tells her about his own past with Tysha, a wheelwright's daughter. They married and spent several happy weeks together until Tywin learned of the matter. Tywin had Jaime tell Tyrion the truth, that Tysha was a prostitute that Jaime had paid to make his brother happy for a while. Tywin then gave her a piece of silver for every one of his guards she had sex with whilst Tyrion was forced to watch. Since then Tyrion has never attempted to take a wife or lover, only whores he can pay and send on their way.[12]Tyrion leads the tribes into battle, but is knocked out by one of his own warriors' mis-swung hammers just as the engagement begins. Recovering, Tyrion learns from his father that Robb deceived them, delaying their army with a feinting force so the main Stark host can fall on and defeat Jaime's army in battle.[12] With Robb's forces now allied to those of the Riverlands and both Stannis and Renly Baratheon claiming the Iron Throne, the odds have swung against the Lannisters. Tywin risks being caught between three armies, so he retreats to Harrenhal. Tyrion makes shrewd observations about the ominous turn the current situation has taken now that Joffrey has killed Eddard Stark. Grudgingly impressed, Tywin orders Tyrion to report to King's Landing and act as the Hand of the King to try to keep Joffrey in line. Tywin forbids him to take "that whore" with him, but Tyrion defies him and asks Shae to come to King's Landing with him.[13]
Season 2
Tyrion arrives in King's Landing, accompanied by Bronn and members of the hill tribes. He assumes the role of acting Hand of the King to Joffrey Baratheon, who isn't happy to see him, unlike Myrcella and Tommen. After taking his seat at the small council, he clashes with his sister, Queen Regent Cersei Lannister, over her failure to stop the execution of his predecessor as hand, Eddard Stark. He criticizes her for allowing Arya Stark to escape. He installs Shae in the Tower of the Hand, in defiance of his father's orders.[14]
Tyrion warns Varys not to underestimate him after the Spider discovers Shae's presence and lets Tyrion know that he is aware of her. During a small council session, Tyrion finds himself the only sympathetic ear to a request by the Night's Watch for aid from the throne. He also criticizes Cersei's lack of talent for diplomacy when she rejects peace terms from Robb Stark brought by their cousin Ser Alton Lannister. Tyrion invites Lord Janos Slynt for dinner and gets him to confess his part in the recent massacre of King Robert's bastards as well as his part in the betrayal of Eddard. After openly noting Slynt's lack of honor, Tyrion has Lord Janos exiled to the Wall as punishment, and installs Bronn as commander of the City Watch in his place.[15]
Tyrion arranges for Shae to serve as a handmaiden to Sansa Stark when she demands more freedom. He tests the loyalty of the remaining small council members by feeding them varying plans to form marriage alliances involving Princess Myrcella Baratheon. He is confronted by Cersei about sending Myrcella to Dorne in a betrothal to the youngest son of House Martell. Tyrion has Pycelle thrown into the black cells for revealing the information given only to him. Varys congratulates him for the ploy to lure out the Queen's informant. Tyrion is also confronted by an angry Petyr Baelish for having been unwittingly involved in the ruse; nevertheless, Tyrion recruits Littlefinger in a plan to convince Catelyn Stark to release Jaime, offering him Harrenhal and the title of Lord Paramount of the Riverlands.[16]
Tyrion is shocked to find Joffrey orchestrating the public beating of Sansa for her brother Robb Stark's victory in the Battle of Oxcross. He orders a halt to the proceedings threatening to have Cersei informed, and warns Joffrey to consider his actions more carefully. He then escorts Sansa out of the throne room. Bronn suggests that Joffrey would benefit from sexual release. Tyrion arranges for two whores for his nephew but Joffrey forces one to beat the other as a message to Tyrion.[17]
Lancel Lannister visits Tyrion to demand the release of Pycelle on Cersei's behalf. Tyrion notes the lateness of the hour and traps Lancel into admitting his sexual relationship with Cersei. Tyrion uses the information to blackmail Lancel into acting as his informant.[17] Tyrion reports news of King Renly Baratheon's death to his Cersei. She is pleased but Tyrion predicts Stannis Baratheon's imminent attack having assumed control of Renly's men. He tries to discuss plans for their defense but she insists on keeping them secret. He learns that she is reliant of the Alchemists' Guild from Lancel. He visits Wisdom Hallyne and learns that the guild have stockpiled thousands of jars of Wildfire to use as catapult ammunition. Bronn sees this strategy as potentially disastrous because of the volatile nature of wildfire. Tyrion orders Hallyne to answer to him instead of Cersei. He passes a street protest that blames him for the ills of the city, as the people believe him to be manipulating Joffrey.[18]
Tyrion and the court assemble at the shore of the Blackwater Bay for the departure of Princess Myrcella. Cersei remains angry about Tyrion's arrangements for her daughter. She threatens to one day deprive him of someone he loves. As they return to the Red Keep through the city they are confronted by angry crowds of starving Smallfolk. Joffrey is hit by thrown excrement and triggers a riot by demanding that his guards kill everyone in the crowd. Tyrion is horrified when the High Septon is torn apart by the famished crowd. He marshals his guards to lead him to safety.[19]
Once he is safely separated from the riot Tyrion confronts Joffrey for triggering the riot and the war that preceded it, calling him a vicious idiot. He slaps Joffrey when his nephew refuses to listen to the criticism. Tyrion orders Meryn Trant to retrieve the missing Sansa but Meryn will not follow his orders. He is relieved when Sandor Clegane brings her to safety.[19]
Cersei confesses that she feels that Joffrey's viciousness might be the price she pays for her sin of incest with Jaime. Tyrion does not know how to comfort his sister in this rare moment of vulnerability but reminds her that both Myrcella and Tommen are kind and gentle. Word that Stannis' fleet is days away reinforces the need to control Joffrey.[20] Tyrion turns to books for insight into siege defense tactics but Bronn warns that the grim realities of a siege cannot be understood from reading. Tyrion affirms the loyalty of Varys and is enigmatic about his plans for the battle but believes Stannis will attack at the Mud Gate.[21]
Joffrey is keen to fight in defense of the city. Cersei is furious and suspects Tyrion of trying to kill her son. She mistakenly identifies Ros as his lover because of the Lannister pendant Tyrion gave her and seizes the opportunity to deliver on the threat she made when Myrcella left. Cersei has the prostitute kidnapped as insurance against Tyrion placing Joffrey in harms way. She reveals her ploy over dinner. Tyrion is relieved that Shae is unhurt, vows to free Ros and when the prostitute is taken away, he promises Cersei that he will exact revenge on her. He rushes back to his lover's side and confesses the depth of his feeling for her while warning that they must be doubly careful.[21]
Tyrion leads the defense of the city during the Battle of the Blackwater. He commands the defenders at the Mud Gate. He destroys a large portion of the attacking fleet by luring them into a trap; a ship filled with Wildfire and allowed to leak its cargo into the bay. He signals Bronn to detonate the Wildfire using a flaming arrow. Stannis continues with the assault, landing his troops further out in the bay to avoid the devastation of the explosion. Tyrion's initial attempts to repel the attackers are unsuccessful and Cersei has Joffrey withdrawn to the Red Keep, with the King leaving Ser Mandon Moore and Ser Boros Blount of the Kingsguard to fight in his name. Tyrion is faced with increasing dissent from his troops but rallies them with a rousing speech. He personally leads a sortie through the tunnels under the city, destroying Stannis' siege equipment. He is trapped outside the walls by a group of reinforcements and then betrayed by Ser Mandon. Mandon slashes Tyrion across the face but Podrick kills him before he can finish Tyrion off. As Tyrion collapses into unconsciousness a host of Lannister-Tyrell reinforcements led by a man wearing Renly's armor arrives to claim the victory.[22]
Tyrion awakens to find Pycelle looming over him. The reinstated Grand Maester gloatingly informs Tyrion that he has been relieved as Acting Hand of the King and moved to new chambers. Tyrion rejects pain relief, fearing that his enemy will poison him. He calls for Podrick to summon his allies, Varys and Bronn. Varys visits Tyrion and regretfully tells him that although his leadership was key to saving the city he will not be recognized by King Joffrey. He also reports that Bronn has been relieved of his command. Varys offers a small consolation; he has brought Shae to see Tyrion. Varys leaves them alone and Shae removes Tyrion's bandages to reveal a scar marring his whole face. Tyrion is self pitying; she angrily asserts her love for him and begs him to flee to Pentos with her. He says that standing up to the bad people in his life, out-talking and out-thinking them, is something that he is good at and enjoys. He chooses to stay in King's Landing and she agrees to remain with him.[23]

In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire books, Tyrion is in his mid twenties when the events of the series begin. As well as being a dwarf, he is misshapen and often described as ugly and having eyes of two different colors, one green and one black. He is described as having a huge disproportional head and an pronounced ungainly waddle when he walks. His hair is lank and very pale, but when he lets his beard grow in it comes in as a mixture of blonde and black hairs.
Tysha was reported to be the daughter of a crofter rather than a wheelwright and the marriage took place when he was only 13 years old. He bought them a little cottage where they lived as man and wife for their two week marriage, before his father had it annulled. Tywin not only had 50 guards rape her, but then ordered Tyrion to have sex with her as well, giving her a gold piece as a Lannister is worth more.
At the Battle of the Red Fork, Tyrion is not knocked out by his own men. In fact he leads with distinction, holding the line under great adversity. Later when he tells his father that the plan to kill him by putting him in the vanguard failed, Tyrion learns that his father had put him there hoping that an inexperienced Tyrion with indisciplined hill tribesmen would break and run to be pursued into a trap by the Stark forces. Tyrion holding the line had ruined the plan. It is a combination of this along with his reading of the situation they face in the war and the fact that Jaime Lannister may not be retrievable that makes Tywin decide to make use of Tyrion as acting Hand. (Tyrion realizes that Tywin is preparing for the worst, as Eddard was executed Jaime might be as well in revenge, so he is finally giving Tyrion real power).
It is when Tyrion joined Tywin Lannisters army that he was given the services of a squire, Podrick Payne. The lad is a relation of Ser Ilyn Payne and is so tongue tied that Tyrion thinks his father might be playing a joke on him. In the show, Podrick shows up in the second season. He later kills Ser Mondon Moore who is trying to kill Tyrion at the Battle of Blackwater, but not with a spear. The fight takes place on ships that have been lined up by the harbor chain which Stannis is using as a bridge, Podrick just pushes Ser Mandon in the water and the weight of his armor drags him down.
When Tyrion relieves Janos Slynt of command of the Gold cloaks it is a man named Ser Jacelyn Bywater or "Ironhand" who becomes their new commander, not Bronn. Bronn is called upon to hire and command a large company of sellswords as Tyrion's own army. Bronn does not suggest that prostitutes are sent to Joffrey to soften his temper, that is suggested by Varys ( it is not shown as to whether it happens or not). What Bronn suggests is that Tyrion's life would be much easier if Tommen inherits the throne which Tyrion considers true but unthinkable to act upon.
Tyrion does not send Petyr Baelish to Catelyn Stark at Renly's camp with Lord Eddard's bones and an offer for the release of Jaime Lannister, does send him to Dorne to arrange the neutrality agreement. The bones are sent with Cleos Frey ( replaced by Alton Lannister in the series) to Riverrun along with unacceptable peace terms and force of 100 Lannister soldiers that hide four men sent to break Ser Jaime out. An escape attempt that fails.
Shae is not brought to the Tower of the Hand, instead she is put in a manse that Tyrion can approach by using a tunnel from under a brothel. A prostitute named Alayaya is a decoy as Tyrion pretends to be visiting her when he ducks into the tunnel. Ros does not appear in the books, it is Alayaya that Cersei takes hostage as Tyrion's lover to insure Tyrion's protection of Joffrey in battle. Shae stays in the manse until fires, riots, and crimes make the city too dangerous, whereupon Tyrion moves her to the Red Keep, but not as hand maiden to Sansa Stark. Shae is handmaiden to Lollys Tandy (daughter of Lady Tandy). Lady Tandy and Lollys were with Cersei at the send off of Myrcella, and Lollys was subsequently caught in the riot. She was raped and is pregnant and Lady Tandy is trying arrange a marriage contract, one of her candidates is Tyrion. Varys arranges Shae's job opening by letting it be revealed that the former handmaiden is taking jewelry. It is only when Tyrion is trying to tell Shae how much danger she is in that he tells her about Tysha, much later than in the show.
Tommen is not in the city during the siege. Cersei arranged to smuggle him out of the city for safety, but also, after Myrcella's engagement without Cersei's involvement, she wants Tommen out of Tyrion's power. Tyrion learns of the plan and thinks it a good idea so he lets it happen, but then sends his own forces to take control of Tommen on the road to Rosby. Later, he tells Cersei that what ever she does to Alayaya will happen to Tommen (this is a bluff as Tyrion would never harm the child).
The most important of the defenses for the city that Tyrion builds is a huge chain that stretches across the whole of Blackwater Rush. The wildfire is loaded onto several small derelict water crafts not one big ship, and wildfire is being catapulted in as well, and most of Joffrey's fleet is in the Blackwater with them when it all goes up (Tyrion explains that the ships would have been lost anyway and, if they hadn't sailed out to meet Stannis' forces, it would have seen to be a trap). Once all of Stannis' fleet had entered, (except for Sallador Saan whose ships had been ordered to stay out in the bay as backup) the chain was raised, this prevented the ships from leaving and the burning ships, pushed up against the chain by the current as they tried to flee the fire, allowed the spread of the fire from one ship to another.
In the book's version of the Battle of Blackwater, Tyrion has almost his entire nose and part of his lips cut off by Ser Mandon Moore's sword swipe. It is not just a deep scar across the face as in the series. He has also taken a bad crossbow bolt wound to the shoulder. He nearly lost the arm, but it's now healing, though he can only move it with great pain and difficulty.
When Tyrion wakes after weeks of being in and out of consciousness, he learns that all his power is gone. His sellsword private army paid and disbanded, Bronn knighted and not dependent on Tyrion's patronage, the hill tribes rewarded and rich on loot left for the Vale ( those that didn't were denied access to the city and had things thrown at them until they left). Tywin Lannister has replaced him as Hand and, as Ser Jacelyn is dead, the Gold cloaks have been placed under leadership of one of his father's knights. Alayaya was stripped and publicly flogged then sent naked out the front gate to walk home. (Tywin, when Tyrion finally sees him, does offer him faint praise for his services in defense of the city, but only grudgingly. His uncle Ser Kevan is the only one to actually praise his accomplishments.)
Not until Tyrion is up and recovered does he finally get a chance to see Shae (he goes to see Varys in Varys' own chambers, and Tyrion has arranged that Shae be brought there to see him). There is no talk of fleeing to Pentos. Tryion has brought her there to say goodbye and send her away, but he finds he can't bring himself to do it.
According to the TV series official pronunciation guide developed for the cast and crew, "Tyrion Lannister" is pronounced "TEER-ee-un LAN-iss-ter".

I suggest everyone on this discussion of MIL vs DSLR read "The Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton Christensen. The Harvard Biz School prof's national bestseller explains exactly what's going on here: disruptive technology (DT.) To those of you so sure that MIL will/will not replace DSLRs, read the book. We probably can't predict it right now.
At first, DT is never as good as the technology it will soon replace. So it often gets applied in areas not originally foreseen- where the negatives aren't important but the positives are the solution to a critical problem of that market. That gives DT economies of scale and increased quality - then it may come back to dominate the market for which it was originally intended.
Polaroid & Kodak failed to embrace digital photography because it was first seen as terribly inferior to standard film technology- they couldn't imagine it getting better!
Canon and Nikon are in the EXACT same boat right now - will they row safely to shore, or sink?

On the Web
Searching for information on the Web efficiently requires having a
search strategy. For very specific information, use a search engine
with keywords to describe the exact information need. Not sure where
to start with your topic, or looking for more general information on a
topic? Start with a subject directory and search broad topics.
Search Engines
Search engine companies such as Google are large databases that send computer software programs called robots or spiders to gather data on the web. Search engines search the full-text of billions of web pages.
Use words specific to your topic and that would appear on useful webpages.
Use quotes around multiple words to search the words as a phrase. Don't use quotations around single concept words. For example: "gun control" California legislation will retrieve pages about legislation in California on gun control.
Image, Audio and Video Search Engines
The use of images, video and audio clips in reports and presentations is becoming more commonplace in school. Remember that these resources must also be cited!

The case for solar cooking
Revision as of 05:05, May 10, 2014 by Tom Sponheim (Talk | contribs)
this wiki
Last updated: October 9, 2013
Free Fuel—Zero Emissions
Although the sun provides our planet with more energy in one hour than the entire human race consumes in a year, only a small fraction of that endless, free fuel is currently being utilized. With simple solar cooking devices, this energy can be captured every day the sun is shining to cook the food and heat the water of hundreds of millions of people living between thirty-five degrees north and south of the equator—latitudes with the highest insolation (annual days of sunlight). Although many types of solar cookers have been manufactured and used around the world over the past three decades to help people take advantage of this abundant free energy, current estimates are that there are still less than two million in use around the world.
Why aren't more people using solar cookers? There are several reasons. First, solar thermal devices, which can bake, roast, fry and stew food, boil water, provide indoor heating after dark and even generate electricity, are a radical technological departure from the unhealthy and environmentally destructive cooking fires that humans have been accustomed to using for tens of thousands of years. Just like improved biomass combustion technologies, solar cookers will not be adopted at a self-sustaining rate by traditional societies unless their design and their introduction: 1. Are sensitive to local eating and cooking practices; 2. Include long-term follow up, effective marketing plans and access to micro-credit; and 3. Offer an affordable, easy-to-use and maintain and durable product. Finally, as long as countries are providing free or low cost gas stoves, gas canisters and subsidized LPG or kerosene, the incentive to switch to unsubsidized solar thermal technology will remain too low to reach the tipping point.
Integrated Cooking (ICS): The goal of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves is to save lives, improve livelihoods and combat climate change by reducing the smoke from cooking fires. This goal can be most effectively met by providing our planet's neediest populations with the most energy-efficient means to cook food and heat water. For optimum results, the three-part Integrated Cooking System should be the foundation of this effort.
The first principle of ICS is to take advantage of free solar energy whenever the sun is shining by using an appropriate solar cooking device during daylight hours. The second is to burn scarce biomass fuel, kerosene or LPG only after dark and on cloudy days. The third is to multiply the efficiency of both of combustion and solar cooking by using a retained heat container (a box or basket stuffed with wool, cotton, straw or paper) to insulate the heated pot of food and continue the cooking process (or keep cooked food hot) for several more hours. With ICS, families can cook anytime and still dramatically reduce their overall fuel consumption.
The three types of solar cookers (panel/box/parabolic) offer a variety of cooking methods and temperatures, at prices that range from less than $20 to over $300. The world's least expensive solar cooker, the foil and cardboard panel Cookit, folds into a 12x12 inch square for easy storage and cooks like a crock-pot at up to 275F. Cookits are being manufactured, distributed and used by tens of thousands of Darfur refugee women in eastern Chad. Could this device be improved? Of course it could. The life of the Cookit could be extended from several months to several years if it were made with more durable reflective materials and a waterproof backing that can stand up to the punishing desert environment. NREL solar thermal researchers have generously offered to share with the solar cooker community data about reflective materials, which NREL has developed for large solar thermal arrays generating electricity in the Mojave Desert. Funding is needed to support the research and field testing of these materials with the Cookit. Funding is also needed to find materials that could provide a more durable replacement for the clear plastic, heat resistant bags currently used to provide glazing around the cooking pot.
Glass-topped solar box cookers made from wood, plastic, cardboard, sheet metal and even chopped straw and mud are providing people in fuel-starved, sun-rich regions with a means to cook several pots of food unattended during the day at temperatures up to 375 F using free solar energy. A solar restaurant in the arid Chilean Andes where the sun shines 310 days per years prepares most of its food and bakes its bread using solar box cookers.
More than a million parabolic solar cookers, which generate a concentrated beam of light hot enough to ignite a piece of paper, are being used in China, India and Africa. In parts of western China and Tibet they have become a common sight inside family compounds where large pots of water are kept continuously at a boil for household use even on freezing but cloudless winter days. A growing number of trekking lodges in Nepal cook with parabolic solar cookers to save on fuel costs and to reduce deforestation. The parabolic dishes used with Scheffler community kitchens provide large and small schools, hospitals, religious institutions and individual homes with solar energy that permits smoke-free, indoor cooking using only the light of the sun.
The Devos parabolic solar cooker has an ample work surface that can be used for grilling meat. This parabolic stove on wheels, which is ideal for street vendors, can be manufactured locally with plywood, sheet metal and ordinary mirrors. The SolSource is a portable parabolic solar cooker developed for use by pastoral communities on the Himalayan Plateau, and also for backyard BBQ and grilling in the US. It cooks food, charges a thermal space heater and makes electricity. All these devices need more research to make them less expensive, more powerful and more durable.
Solar thermal technology has additional applications which can save fuel and reduce harmful emissions caused by the wood, dung and charcoal fires currently used in much of the world to accomplish common tasks. They reduce the need for imported LPG and kerosene, the purchase of which is subsidized with funds that could be better used to improve health, education and infrastructure. Solar thermal devices are being used for roasting coffee, sterilizing medical instruments, ironing clothing, dyeing fabrics, drying surplus crops for storage or sale, producing marmalade and rendering sap into syrup. Small solar cookers like the Cookit can be easily carried to worksites or used by herders to heat water or cook a meal without tending a fire.
The Solar Cookers World Network's 300+ independent organizations and businesses and 200+ individual promoters in fifty-eight countries urge the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves to include significant funding for the R&D and global dissemination of solar and retained heat cooking technology in addition to improved biomass cookstoves. In the twenty-first century, we cannot ignore the vast potential of the sun to provide limitless, free solar thermal energy for zero-emission cooking in the developing world.
