Joachim Schwabing - El hechizo.

El hechizo.

Le temieron. 

 En la próspera aldea, cada pastor se obligaba en su rebaño, las campesinas sembraban y recolectaban en secreta deferencia, los herreros vigilaban la exactitud de los filos. 

 El hechicero se afligía en la reserva que le tendían quienes habitaban la aldea, en el andar sigiloso que se detenía en las esquinas de las casas, en cada bella sonrisa espontánea.

 Y partió. Cruzó las empalizadas a pie, en una mano las riendas del caballo que tiraba de la carreta. La cabaña donde había morado fue pronto esqueleto del fuego y el hechicero aún observaría el halo de las primeras altas llamas antes de girar en el sendero.

 Y fue después que los pastores descuidaron sus rebaños, que las mujeres demoraron el agua y la semilla y que los herreros comenzaron a creer en la herrumbre.

 Los habitantes de la aldea enunciaron la maldición del hechicero y el ocaso apretó el paso. Hoy, el lugar es un temblor y su penumbra y un hombre distante viste la dicha que su ausencia haya desatado.

Ian Sinclair as Brook

Jason Wilson(?) as Sir Dan

Diego Luna as Manolo

Catherine O’Hara as Sally

Alan Blumenfeld as Glottis

Patrick Stewart or Corey Burton as Santa

Maria Canals-Barrera as Meche

Zoe Saldana as Maria

Channing Tatum as Joaquin

Scott McCord as Skull Boy

-----------------------------------------

As for characters voiced only by fans, my personal choices would be...

@pmseymourva as Lewis Pepper (speaking), Arthur Kingsmen, and Asgore

@chisanaai as Vivi

@sonicmega as Papyrus and Sans

@faulerro as Flowey

@chaos55t as Asriel and Alphys

crashboombanger as Mettaton

Manila Southwoods gets 7 straight win in Fil-Am golf tourney

#PHnews: Manila Southwoods gets 7 straight win in Fil-Am golf tourney

BAGUIO CITY – Manila Southwoods closed out on Wednesday with 122, a fourth straight flight best to claim its seventh straight title in the centerpiece Fil Championship of the 70th Fil-Am Invitational Golf Tournament at the Baguio Country Club (BCC) golf course.

It was again a double celebration for the Carmona, Cavite squad as its younger team also won the Am Championship at the Camp John Hay (CJH) golf course also in a rout.

It is, however, a triple celebration for the tournament's most decorated team as Aguri Iwasaki took the top individual plum just a day after his birthday on Dec. 17.

When the day started with an overcast sky, surprise top man Lanz Uy woke up with a fever that made him too weak to even lift a club and its youngest member, Sean Ramos, had diarrhea and did not play, Southwoods played a four-man team for a closing round of 122 for 546 aggregate and a 55-point victory.

Taisei Shimizu top-scored for Southwoods with 34, Iwasaki had 32, while Aidric Chan improved to 31 and Uy managed 25 for another dominating performance for the team.

“These are very talented kids and they will surely adjust the next day. But then, some of them are just really sick,” said team captain Thirdy Escaño, who stopped counting the trophies of Southwoods which started playing in 1997.

“Uy could have done better. He thrives in this course. But then he is very underrated,” said Escaño of his surprise top gun, who took the CJH course with an eight-under, including what could be the best seven under on day two.

He led the squad on day three with 33. His fever cost him the individual plum which went to Iwasaki.

Aguri finished with 140 points, two better than Uy (138) and another two on compatriot Shimizu (136).

Forest Hills came in with a 111 for a 491, just two off Royal Northwoods as the two settled for second and third places, respectively.

Forest Hills was led by Rocky Co with 31, while Iñigo Raymundo, Dan Cruz, and Jude Eustaquio counted with 29, 27 and 24, in that order.

Stephen Sul became the only player from the top tier championship flight to break par with his 36 points to lead Northwoods to 114.

Backing him are Nik Gatmaytan with 28, Joaquin Hernandez with 27 and Gido Mandanas with 21.

Team Time Cargo had 93 with former Southwoods stalwart Junjun Plana leading with 28 points.

The team finished with 448 points. Josh Jorge closed out a 36 to lead Southwoods Am squad with 119 and 463 total for a 29-point victory in Am Championship.

Also counting for Southwoods are Jeff Jung and Masaichi Otake with 28 and Santino Laurel with 27.

Ricky delos Santos led Batangas Barakos to 110 and 434 aggregate to bag a second place, nine off Forest Hills which had 117 for 423.

Islander Mizuno finished fourth with 407 after a 107.

Meanwhile, Ventureslink -Robros Jayworx took the last day easily, nearly matching its day three total with an 88 for 397 total and a 13-point victory in Fil B.

Baguio Country Club had a great escape after outscored by Summit Point Golf and Country Club 88-87 in the last day of competition but still took the bridesmaid trophy with its 384 against the latter's 383.

In Am B, Joseph Oliver Uy led a vicious fourth round attack and scored 30 to pace X1R Mizuno's scorching closing round of 113 to tie third-round leader Srixon with 382 points.

But Mizuno took the champion's trophy through countback when its fifth man, Raymond Co, who did not count, outpointed Srixon's fifth, Bart Borja 21-15 to give the former the top podium.

Srixon had a closing round of 103 to take second place, while Crown Legacy fell short of its own rally scoring 110 for a 381 total.

Royal Northwoods – El Masfino had an 88 for a 380 aggregate and a 13-point victory in Fil C.

Dugong Bughaw finished second with 367 after an 80, while Ultraflite Golf Club I is third with 358 after an 82.

Mountaineers Golf Team II closed with a 103 for an even 400 and a 25-point victory in Am C.

BCC overtook co-host John Hay when it scored a flight best 110, ironically at the latter's home course, for 375 and a 10 point margin. John Hay had a closing round of 91 for 365.

K&G MGC closed with an 81 for a 360 aggregate to win Fil D by 27 points.

Macquarie Links Sydney finished second with a 333 after a 75, and a seven-shot margin on third-placed Team Integral which closed with a 70.

Central Florida / VST had a closing round of 93 for 338 points to move past Team Surigao for the top podium.

Surigao finished with an 86 for a 335 to settle for second place, while Cool Jocks had 87 for 329 which is good for third place.

Islander Mizuno had a 66 and 330 total for a 17 point victory in Fil E.

Razcals I suffered a two-point penalty but comfortably took second place with 313.

At third is Tieza Club Intramuros Golf Course A with 302 after a 66.

Tieza Club Intramuros was penalized twice but managed to win with 267, seven off Uragun Golf which finished second with 260.

Macquarie Links Sydney finished third with 248. (PNA)

THE ACADEMY DELVES INTO LATIN AMERICAN FILM WITH EXPANSIVE PROJECT

    THE ACADEMY DELVES INTO LATIN AMERICAN FILM WITH  EXPANSIVE PROJECT “FROM LATIN AMERICA TO HOLLYWOOD:  LATINO FILM CULTURE IN LOS ANGELES, 1967–2017”

         Screening Series in Conjunction with Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA    

   Special guests include Lourdes Portillo, Cheech Marin, Guillermo del Toro and Edward James Olmos

         LOS ANGELES, CA – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present From Latin America to Hollywood: Latino Film Culture in Los Angeles, 1967–2017, a series of film screenings, live conversations, oral histories, publications and a dedicated website exploring the shared influences of Latino and Latin American filmmakers and the work they created or presented in Los Angeles during the past half-century.  The screening series, which runs from September 16, 2017 through January 18, 2018, is a part of the Academy’s participation in the Getty-led Southern California-wide arts initiative Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA.  

            Guest-curated by Oscar®-nominated documentarian Lourdes Portillo, From Latin America to Hollywood focuses on the social, cultural and political environment of the 1960s that sparked the Chicano and New Latin American cinema movements.  The program highlights an extensive series of 25 oral histories of such notable Latino and Latin American filmmakers as Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Gregory Nava, Lucrecia Martel, Patricia Cardoso and Luis Valdez, offering a rare opportunity for audiences to experience their perspectives firsthand.  As part of the screening series, the directors’ films will be presented together with public conversations about filmmaking and, in some cases, will premiere new Academy Film Archive restorations. The Academy’s oral history interviews were filmed between May 2014 and September 2016 and can be viewed on the Academy’s website here beginning September 15.

          Patricia Cardoso

         The Academy’s publication for the project, titled From Latin America to Hollywood: Latino Film Culture in Los Angeles 1967-2017, explores the intersections, inspirations, and creative intentions of a wide-ranging group of Latino and Latin American filmmakers through the gathering, and close reading, of their oral histories, by an acclaimed group of scholars and writers. The book will be available for free digital download here beginning September 15.

      In addition, From Latin America to Hollywood: A Public Symposium, will feature three panel discussions, "The Historical Latino in Hollywood," "LA/LA and the New Cinema" and "How do Latinas Experience Hollywood?," which will explore themes raised by the oral history subjects and publication contributors, including issues of origins and identity, borders and migration, choice of language, translation, and emerging voices.

      Tickets for the symposium and screening series go on sale September 5 and can be purchased here.  Additional screenings to be announced.

CHCI Honors Norman Lear with its Inaugural Pioneer Award

Congressman Joaquin Castro Led Panel Discussion on the Importance of Representation in American Television with Norman Lear, Rita Moreno, Justina Machado, Tony Plana and Paul Rodriguez

(Los Angeles, CA) – City Club in downtown Los Angeles, recognizing his commitment and contributions to diversity and inclusion in American television.

CHCI President and CEO Domenika Lynch, shared the organization’s history and mission to develop the next generation of Latino leaders and highlighted that “without strong national representation in Congress that the Latino community could not advance and realize their full potential as civically engaged citizens.”  With the country’s population currently at 18% Hispanic, Lynch highlighted the importance to do more to increase the representation of Latinos in Congress, television and film, and across all industries.

CHCI Chair and Texas Congressman Joaquín Castro, who serves on both the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Foreign Affairs Committee, noted that, “If you look around the country you realize that not only in government and in Washington, are Latinos underrepresented, but across the American economy; in the finance industry, in law, in business, in non-profits, and certainly in the entertainment industry,” said Rep. Castro. Castro presented Lear with CHCI’s “Pioneer Award,” recognizing his contributions as “a pioneer who has broken down barriers on behalf of not only Latinos, but also African-Americans.”

Rep. Castro and Lear then began a one-on-one discussion titled “Then & Now:  A Transformative Conversation.” They touched on Lear’s important achievements, as well as the state of the U.S. film and television industry in 2017, compared to the 1970’s.

When asked where he sees television then versus now, Lear responded, “In terms of what influence we need, we have a long way to go, whether we’re talking about race, or color, or any of the social problems.”

Actors from the 2017 remake of “One Day at a Time,” including legendary EGOT winner, Rita Moreno, star Justina Machado, and guest star Tony Plana participated in the conversation. Actor and comedian Paul Rodriguez also joined and reminisced about Lear’s influence in his career and the creation of 80’s sitcom “AKA Pablo.” The panelists discussed their personal experiences in Hollywood, the challenges minority actors continue to face both on-screen and behind the camera, and what Latinos can do collectively to achieve progress.

“I remember a time when I was told that the door is ajar for Latinos, but it’s more open now,” said Rita Moreno.

“(African-Americans) are well-represented,” said Paul Rodriguez. “Latinos have a great deal of debt to African-Americans. We’ve seen their struggle. We’ve seen their trajectory. They’ve laid the groundwork.”

“Once I realized that I needed to be an actor, I was very concerned because what I saw in television and films was not very attractive,” said Tony Plana. “For someone who’s educated, it was a little demeaning.” After studying in London, Plana recalls when he first arrived to Hollywood stating, “…I got to play gang member number one.”

Since the early 70’s Television Pioneer Norman Lear has brought us groundbreaking shows highlighting diverse cultures like “All in The Family,” “Good Times,” and “The Jeffersons,” as well as the recent Netflix Latino remake of “One Day At A Time.”

Lear closed out the event with powerful words of wisdom. “There are two very important words: Over and next,” said Lear. “Live in this moment. It’s taken every second of my life to get here…so I live in the moment.”

While Lear has served as a pioneer for inclusivity, the recent UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report found that minorities make up 13.5 percent of lead roles – a stark contrast to the country’s population made up for 40 percent minorities. The report also found that minorities accounted for the majority of ticket sales for the top five films in 2015 and that films with diverse casts grossed higher profits. Yet, minorities continue to be underrepresented.

CHCI will kick off Hispanic Heritage Month celebration in Washington, D.C. with its annual Leadership Conference on September 11-12, 2017 and culminate the celebration with its 40th Anniversary Gala on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel.  CHCI provides leadership development programs and paid Congressional Internships and fellowships for Latino youth across the country in Washington D.C.

Historia de la Literatura.

  Observado desde fuera. Descripción.

 El caserón se izaba en el extremo más iluminado del pasaje, no lejos de la escarpada caída. Las arboledas desatendidas acuciaban sus greñas en el intento vanidoso, mas fallido, de la sola atención. Tablones resquebrajados y rectificados, por la humedad sucios, parecían cegar ventanales y puertas. Sólo la entrada principal había permanecido sin cubrir; el hierro que creaba los batientes se mancillaba en una carnosa cadena cruzada cuya percusión desconocida heriría el color como un rocío regular. Una escalinata suficientemente despojada de losetas derrumbaba cualquier pretensión de aproximación; por encima, el tejado inclinado manejaba la sinonimia desiderativa de la escalinata.

 Descripción y tedio.

 Quien hasta allí llegara dejó de escribir y, permaneciendo sentado sobre la tierra, guardó el pliego de papeles que había estado usando. Observaba la fachada del caserón y desescribía el texto que mórbido hallaba. La descripción mentía y negaba adecuación a un tiempo.

 Al borde del acantilado, al final del sendero, amenazaba la presencia de la mansión. Imposible la ocultación tras el bosquecillo seco. Observando la construcción, se destacaban las maltratadas tablas que ocultaban todas las entradas y salidas; excepto una, la del portón frontal, ofensivamente sujeta por los gruesos eslabones de una decisión que despellejaba su color primero. Pero antes de ella, la breve escalera desnudada de sus baldosas; después y arriba, la cubierta también rechazaba la atracción.

 Desescribía. Pero la aprensión de no haber escrito en primer término y la de la correspondencia de los textos. También podía en otra correspondencia desescribirse el último escrito.

 Sobre las rocas y el mar, a través de las pestañas escuetamente frondosas del bosque, desvalidas miraban las ventanas de la casona. Sola, la entrada se aherrojaba ante los profanadores de soledad. Ya el suelo de los peldaños los impugnaba, igualmente amenazantes los visibles techos.

 Este texto desescribía al anterior. Y al anterior. Mas todos se desescribían entre sí porque todos lo hacían ya mientras se producían, percibida su noticia en una pausa, en su recelo o sospecha. Así, los textos estaban desescritos. Quien recibiera cualquiera de ellos lo desescribiría a su vez, en la producción que la recepción distrae en cristalización; ésta lo fijaría y lo haría rotar en el eje de una acumulación que la metáfora llama raíz o memoria, y cuya pobreza u orientación sustituiría propiamente el texto desescrito recibido, sin renovarlo. Pues todo texto es siempre nuevo.

 Este texto desescribía al anterior. Y al anterior. Mas todos se desescribían entre sí porque todos lo hacían ya mientras se producían, percibida su noticia en una pausa, en su recelo o sospecha.

Quien recibiera cualquiera de ellos lo desescribiría a su vez, en la producción que la recepción distrae en cristalización; ésta lo fijaría y lo haría rotar en el eje de una acumulación que la metáfora llama raíz o memoria, y cuya pobreza u orientación sustituiría propiamente el texto desescrito recibido, sin renovarlo. Pues todo texto es siempre nuevo.

 Este texto peleaba ahora su propio cristal. La transparencia era abrumadora en su incapacidad de atrapar los haces de luz aunque hábil se mostrara para convocarlos en una desviación absoluta. La certeza entonces de habitar una luz y de producir él un cristal para estar inmerso en ella. Como una aspiración confirmadora – confesadora – de derrota cuyo contento es, solo, una victoria.

 Quien permanecía sobre la tierra observando la fachada de aquella construcción en madera hallaba que el texto es un cálculo de todo cuanto no puede afirmarse, que lo labrado propone acabamiento, que la decisión se revela imposible entre los haces de la selección, que lo labrado y su fijeza invitan la urdimbre de la decisión. Que no hay resultado tal, que la generación es la constante. Que la trascendencia de la grafía es el asidero de la ausencia de intervención.

 Sufrían los ramas las ráfagas salinas que el precipicio ascendían acosando la pérdida de la alta casa de madera cuyos accesos obtusos no libraban al principal de un candado como un cruz; los pasos que hasta él subían, el alero que restaba, disuasores mostraban sus escamas sembradas cerca del camino.

 Fue el horror en la arquitectura. Un muerto como un héroe.

 Que el cristal es todo lo que se tiene.

Joachim Schwabing - La belleza.

La belleza.

Arrancado. Arrancado. El trozo reposa bajo la mesa. Anoche la escuché renovar el filo de las tenazas. No puedo dejar de gritar mientras tira de mi carne; nunca grito antes, ni cuando la descubro ya en el umbral de la puerta, sólo cuando las tenazas aprisionan y pronto cortan la carne. No grito antes ni después, pues no creo que vuelva a hacerlo, que regrese … Ahora, cuando ha salido, cuando no está, no lo creo, no creo que de nuevo …

Ella llora, siempre, siempre, mientras tira de mí … Mas sin lágrimas ya, su rostro sólo enrojece … Tan bella, tan bella.

Ha abierto la puerta y han entrado los animales. Los escucho comer bajo la mesa. No creo que esta noche afile las tenazas como las otras noches. No creo que los animales vuelvan.

Me sonrío. Sé que sonrío. No creo que vuelva, … Pero, tan bella cuando enrojece, tan bella.
