Safety emphasized on New Year's Eve
Monday will be a night of celebration as Wisconsin rings in 2013, but after tragic crashes early on New Year's Day the last two years, there's even more emphasis on safety.
"Tonight is a big night. New Year's is traditionally a night where people really go out to celebrate. Not just the people that regularly go out, but also people that are maybe go out every couple of months," Water Street Association President Josh Janis said.
The owner of Red Rock Saloon and McGillycuddy's also heads up the Water Street Association and said the businesses there have worked hard to make it the destination for partyers, but that means they have to take a more active role in making sure it doesn't go too far.
"We do a great job of communicating with the police. They had a code red that we really enjoyed the last couple of years that put more police on the streets that detours people from getting drunk as they maybe wanted to or doing something stupid," Janis said.
New Year's Eve isn't all about partying. Many families are looking for ways to celebrate the night together, and the Pettit National Ice Center is staying open until 9 p.m. Monday, hoping some will stop by to wind down 2012 with some exercise and family fun.
"It's a healthy thing to do. We're seeing more and more people getting into it, bringing their kids for a family event, maybe before they go out later on for a New Year's Eve party," Pettit Center Executive Director Randy Dean said.
Milwaukee police are certainly encouraging the festive atmosphere, but said they'll be working hard to make sure things don't get out of hand on Water Street, where few nights compare to New Year's Eve.
"We're gonna be very visible. We'll have squad cars parked in the medians with their lights flashing, letting everyone know we're here. And if you've had too much, and don't have anyone to call, look around -- there's many hotels around us that offer specials, just stay downtown," Milwaukee police Capt. Steve Basting said.
Police will be out in force throughout the area, hoping to encourage people to designate a driver or take a taxi home.

JONAH J. Vernon McGee
JONAH Is the Book of Jonah the Achilles' heel of the Bible? It is, if we are to accept the ridiculous explanations of the critics. The translators of the Septuagint were the first to question its reasonableness. They set the pattern for the avalanche of criticism which was to follow. The ancient method of modernism is to allegorize the book and to classify it with Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver's Travels. Some of the extravagant theories of the critics are more farfetched and fantastic than they even concede the Book of Jonah to be. For example: 1. It is held (without a scrap of evidence) that Jonah was the son of the widow of Zarephath. 2. There is a theory that Jonah fell asleep during the storm, had a dream, and that the Book of Jonah is the account of that dream. 3. There are those who relate the Book of Jonah to the Phoenician myth of Hercules and the sea monster. 4. It is claimed that Jonah was picked up after the storm and shipwreck by a boat that had a fish for a figurehead — which gave support for the record in the Book of kjv@Jonah:5. Others resort to the wild claim that a dead fish was floating around and that Jonah took refuge in it during the storm. The producers of these speculations claim that the Book of Jonah is unreasonable, and they bring forth these theories to give credence to the story! We must dismiss them all as having no basis of fact, no vestige of proof from an historical standpoint, and are only in existence in the imagination of the critics. WRITER: Jonah Jonah was a historical character. The historical record of the kings of Israel and Judah is accepted as reliable. No one denies that David, Josiah, and Hezekiah were real kings, and it is among the records of these kings that we find the mention of Jonah. Speaking of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, the historian writes:
He restored the border of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spoke by the hand of his servant, Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher. ( kjv@2Kings:14:25) Jeroboam was a real person; Israel was a real nation; Hamath was a real place. It is unlikely that Jonah, the son of Amittai, was a figment of the imagination. It is begging the point to say that this is another Jonah. It is not reasonable to believe that there were two Jonahs whose fathers were named Amittai and whose offices were prophets. This is especially evident when it is observed that the name is not a common one (it occurs only in this reference in 2 Kings, in the Book of Jonah, and in two references in the New Testament). Obviously the Lord Jesus Christ considered Jonah a real person, and He accepted the record of the Book of Jonah as true. Listen to Him: For as Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. kjv@Luke:11:30) And again, But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet, Jonah; for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here. kjv@Matthew:12:39-41) If you reject the Book of Jonah, you are not merely saying that you cannot accept the record as reasonable, but that you do not believe that Jesus was acquainted with the facts of the case. You break with Jesus when you deny the Book of Jonah. The fact that the question has been raised concerning the authen-
ticity of Jonah's record is all the more startling when a contrast is made with one of the other minor prophets. For instance, there is no reference to Habakkuk in any historical book, and he is never mentioned by name in the New Testament. In spite of this, there is no concerted effort to classify him as a mythological character. Of course, the real reason for getting rid of Jonah is to get rid of the miraculous experience which he records concerning himself. DATE: Conservative scholars place the writing of this book before 745 B.C. The incidents took place about that time. Some even place it as early as 860 B.C. It seems best to place it between 800 and 750 B.C. Students of history will recognize this as the period when Nineveh was in its heyday. The nation of Assyria was at its zenith at this time, also. It was destroyed by 606 B.C. By the time of Herodotus, Nineveh, the city of Nimrod, had ceased to exist. When Xenaphon passed the city, it was deserted, but he testified that the walls still stood and they were 150 feet high. Historians now estimate they were at least 100 feet high and 40 feet thick. COMMENTS: (See author's booklet, "Jonah, Dead or Alive?") The Book of Jonah is Experience, Not Prophecy In examining the Book of Jonah, we find that it contains the personal record of an experience which Jonah had, and he evidently was the writer. Properly speaking, the brief brochure is not a prophecy and seems to be out of step among the Minor Prophets. It contains no prophecy, although Jonah was a prophet. It is the personal account of a major event in the life of Jonah. As the narrator, he told of his experience which was a sign of the greatest event in the history of the world — the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Book of Jonah is not a fish story that disturbs a gainsaying world, but it is a throne in the midst of which "stood a Lamb as though it had been slain" kjv@Revelation:5:6). This Lamb is a resurrected Lamb, and a Christ-rejecting world will someday cry out, "Hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb" kjv@Revelation:6:16).
The Fish Is Not the Hero of the Story There is another salient point to keep before us as we study this book: The fish is not the hero of the story, neither is it the villain. The book is not even about a fish. The chief difficulty is in keeping a correct perspective. The fish is among the props and does not occupy the star's dressing room. Let us distinguish between the essentials and the incidentals. The incidentals are the fish, the gourd, the east wind, the boat, and Nineveh. The essentials are Jehovah and Jonah — God and man. SIGNIFICANT SUBJECTS: 1. This is the one book of the Old Testament which sets forth the Resurrection. Those who assert that the resurrection is not found in the Old Testament surely are not versed in the magnificent message of Jonah. When a wicked and adulterous generation was seeking after a sign, Jesus referred them to the Book of Jonah for the message: "As Jonah…so Jesus" is the fine comparison made by our Lord. 2. Salvation is not by works. Salvation is by faith, which leads to repentance. The Book of Jonah is read by the Orthodox Jews on the Great Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). One great self-evident truth from the ritual of this day is that the way to God was not by "works of righteousness which we have done" kjv@Titus:3:5), but by the blood of a substitutionary sacrifice provided by God. The most significant statement in the Book of Jonah is in 2:9 — "Salvation is of the LORD." 3. God's purpose of grace cannot be frustrated. If Jonah had refused to go to Nineveh the second time, would God have destroyed the city? God would not have been limited by Jonah's refusal. He would have raised up another instrument, or, more likely, He would have had another fish ready to give Jonah the green light toward Nineveh. The book shows God's determination to get His message of salvation to a people who will hear and accept it. 4. God will not cast us aside for faithlessness. When Jonah failed the first time, God did not give him up. The most encouraging words that a faltering and failing child of God can hear are, "And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time" kjv@Jonah:3:1).
5. God is good and gracious. The most penetrating picture of God in the entire Bible is in kjv@Jonah:4:2. It is wrong to say that the Old Testament reveals a God of wrath and the New Testament reveals a God of love. He is no vengeful deity in the Book of kjv@Jonah:6. God is the God of the Gentiles. It has been suggested that kjv@Romans:3:29 be written over this book: "Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also." The Book of Jonah is the answer to those critics who claim that the Old Testament presents a local and limited deity, a tribal deity. The Book of Jonah is a great book on missions and has a world vision. APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF JONAH: 1. Striking resemblance between Jonah and Paul. Both were missionaries to the Gentiles; both were shipwrecked; both were witnesses to the sailors on board the ship, and both were used to deliver these sailors from death. There are other striking comparisons which a careful study will reveal. Paul made three missionary journeys, and with his trip to Rome, there were four. The four chapters of the Book of Jonah may be divided into four missionary journeys of Jonah: (1) into the fish, (2) out onto dry land, (3) to Nineveh, and (4) to the heart of God. 2. Timetable approach. When you consult a timetable in a railroad station or airport, there are three important factors you note: (1) destination, (2) departure time, and (3) arrival time. It is possible to construct the four brief chapters of Jonah into the form of a timetable.

Enochs in action in 2006
As VfL Osnabruck's fight to stay in the 2. Bundesliga enters into its final weeks, their American coach Joe Enochs remains confident that the club will rise to the occasion.
Enochs, 39, took over on an interim basis at the end of March when the club fired Karsten Baumann after four straight losses that sent the club relegation zone. Due to Enoch's lack of the required coaching licenses, he is now an assistant to Heiko Flottmann, but has a large say in game and player management the rest of the season.
Osnabruck management decided to turn to a familiar face in Enochs who had been coaching the second team at Osnabruck for over two years and who had achieved legendary status when he was a player at the club from 1996-2008. During that time Enochs played in 359 games for the Lower Saxony based club.
"It's a tough job," Enochs told YA from Germany. "When the first coach was released, they approached me and told me they wanted me to do it. It wasn't even a question. It was 'Hey Joe, we need you. How do you feel about it?' I thought that if I could help the club, I would do it."
Enoch's first game as head coach was on April 1 and the team responded with a hard fought 2-2 draw against Luis Robles and Karlsruher SC. For Enochs, the transition was easier since he was very familiar with the team but the circumstances of a tough relegation fight have been difficult.
"The first week and before my first game we just did some basic stuff and worked on a few things," Enochs recalled of his first seven days in charge. "The team really accepted me from the start. I had known all the guys because I was coaching the second team. So the first part of it wasn't a problem at all in getting to know the team. But when the results didn't go our way, some people are unhappy."
"We just have to get through that. It's not always a lot of fun. It is fun when I'm on the field but the stuff off the field is pretty hard. It's tough."
The decision to turn to Enochs was heavily due to the club wanting to remain consistent with its overall philosophy. In recent years, the club has invested heavily on its internal infrastructure and youth development.
In hiring an outside coach, the club could find itself in a position where they have someone whose views are of a different approach. The club knew Enoch's approach to the team and determined it was a good fit for the remained of the season. For everyone involved, hiring from within at such a crucial t time made the most sense.
"Another major role that played into it is that when you get an outside guy to come in, there is no guarantee that he's going to make it," Enochs explained. "These outside guys cost a whole lot of money and you're stuck with him."
"We have a concept at the club that we want to get our [young] guys into the first team. We have a couple of German youth national team guys coming into the system. In the past we haven't been able to get these guys into the first team because they got snapped up by first division clubs."
"That's what the club wants to avoid doing. So no matter if you make it or not, the club wants to have its own concept. If we got a guy from the outside, he would come in and implement his concepts. The club doesn't want to be tied up with someone who says, 'I want this guy and this guy.' The club wants to be able to decide that for themselves. So that's why I think it's a good solution."
Enoch's tenure as both a head coach and an assistant at Osnabruck will be temporary. The club turned to Enochs to get them through a difficult spell but since the Petaluma, California native does not possess the required coaching licenses, he won't be able to continue as a first team coach past this year.
There are currently four coaching licenses that are required and Enochs has the first two. He is scheduled to take the exam to acquire his third in November then must wait a required year (a minimum year wait is required between acquiring every license) to apply for the exam for his final license.
So if everything goes according to plan, Enochs will acquire his final coaching license in November 2012. After that however, he is uncertain about his desire to become a head coach for a first team on a permanent basis.
"I don't' know if I really want to be the first team coach," the former Sacramento State Hornet discussed. "The problem with the first team coach is that it's the eye of the fire. If you don't have the success, you get released. Obviously the money is decent but if you don't do well, you're out of there. I am really tied to this club and I love this club. I love the city, we've got a good life, and my kids want to stay here."
As for what Enochs wants to eventually do, he is unsure but youth development and management are two options that come to mind at first. Either way, he does want to stay involved at first with Osnabruck.
"I want to help the club in some fashion," Enochs stated. "I don't know if the head coaching job is an option maybe youth development or many some sort of combination with youth development and assistant with the first team. Also, maybe going into management is also an option."
Another possible path Enochs is open to in the long run is returning back home to the United States to coach. Osnabruck will remain his home until he gets his final license, aand after an additional spell in town learning with the requirements under his belt, Enochs feels that he could use his knowledge to help the game grow in his home country.
"I want to stay with the club and I want to learn a little bit," Enochs divulged. "No matter what licenses you have or what experiences you go through, you are always learning. I want to do that learning here because Osnabruck is a great place to learn. But it's always an option to come back to the States. The option to come to the States and maybe get on with a club and use my experience that I've had here to help build up a club is a definite option."
If he does return to the United States, Enochs is particularly interested in the area of youth development where he has spent a lot his time at Osnabruck. As coach of the second team, Enochs has been working with the club's top young players to prepare them to play at the level of the first team.
When Enochs was a young player in California, development was far different than it is now. At that time, many of the youth coaches were parents of players on the teams. While Enochs feels that youth development in the United States has improved dramatically since then, he is confident that his experiences in Germany will give a much needed different approach to coaching in the US.
"I think the experiences I've had here have been invaluable," Enochs pointed out. "That's true especially at the youth levels where Osnabruck's U-15 team, our U-17 team, and our U-19 team play in the highest leagues here in Germany. We are competing against the teams from the top Bundesliga teams. I've gotten a good look at how the club works and how the club brings up players. I think that experience would help benefit any team in the United States."
Enoch's experiences as a head coach in Europe are, in fact, rare and unique. There have been very few Americans that have coached at such a high level and, right now, Enochs is the only American first team head coach in Europe.
Enochs is proud of the fact he is trailblazing the path for other American coaches but he also admits that his situation is quite different than others will face.
"I never really thought of it as an American getting a head coaching job outside the United States," Enochs said of being a an American coach in Europe. "It's great, but I think of it in that I've played so long for the club and been involved with Osnabruck for 16 years, I wasn't an outside guy or an American coming in. There wasn't any thought by the club that there was an American coming in to coach a German team. I am basically accepted here as a person from Osnabruck."
Enochs has already achieved near-legendary status at Osnabruck where he remains immensely popular, where many fans refer to him as Uncle Joe. But right now, he is being asked to help rescue the club at a very important moment. Over the past decade, the club has spent money building up the youth program and internal infrastructure - to keep this progress going, remaining in the second division is a high priority.
Enochs believes that staying up is a good possibility. With two games to go, they sit in 16th place in the 18 team 2. Bundesliga. Under the current format, places 17 and 18 are relegated while 16th place must play in a playoff to remain in the league. For them to climb to safety and avoid the playoff, they must climb to 15th place where they are now two points out.
"It's a very good possibility we stay up," Enochs concluded. "The club is in a really, really good situation especially if we stay up. When I say we are in a really good situation. When I was playing, I was playing against teams that are now in the fifth division."
"We've grown as club over the last 10-12 years with our investments in our youth program and infrastructure. It's amazing. Obviously it's so important to stay up in the second division, but we've got a tough road. If we keep playing like we did against FSV Frankfurt we will definitely have the chance to stay up. Some if it will come down to luck, but a lot of it will have to do with quality on the field."
"We have to get the results."

Recently I chatted with a dear friend who is deep into the NaNo experience. She's going to make the word count this year. Congrats, you-know-who! I'm so proud of you.
But we weren't talking about NaNo or word counts. The topic of conversation was one that anyone who's written a book knows intimately...
That's right. We were talking about the dreaded dragging middle. She's stuck in the middle, hating the experience and looking for some way out.
Me? I'm no help. I call it as I see it. No gilding the writing lily from me, sorry.
My advice...keep the butt in the chair. Deal with the draggy bits. Make them exciting, even if you hate them. Annoying characters? Give them a face lift, a keyboard makeover. Pull 'em back into line. Remember, you're the boss of this expedition. You drive the bus--tell those suckers sitting behind you to shape up...or else!
The only way to get to the Valhalla of writing words, "The End", is by going straight through the middle. There's just one way out if you expect that fabulous idea, cast of oh-so intriguing characters and fat file to actually become a decent book. Keep your butt in the chair. Keep writing. No shortcuts.
And, you don't have to like every moment of the process. I think some people think that writing a book is a lark. It's not. It's hard work.
But, if you keep at it, those two beautiful words are the last you'll write before pressing the save button. You know the words. Me, too. Currently I'm dragging a boatload of zombies through a jungle, working my way toward The End.
After reading this post, you'll probably never approach me for writing advice, will you?
Oh, boy. So, what's going on with you?
Wishing you a peaceful day!

This is so true. People do have a romantic view of writing and crafts as well. There's a lot of hard work and backache goes into these enterprises. I love the image of the bus!

Current Music: 10,000 Maniacs - Everyday is like sunday
Current Mood:
Interesting Node: February 21, 2002. (The first thing I ever chinged).
Interesting non-e2 url: My donation page, please help.
Caption: I really did see a pink elephant!
Quote: Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day;
live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have.
It is later than you think.
Trivia: In 1493, who returned to Spain after his first voyage to
the New World?
Joke: I went to the store the other day, and I was in there for only
about 5 minutes. When I came out there was a damn cop writing
out a parking ticket.
So I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving
a gal a break?" He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.
So I called him a pencil-dicked Nazi. He glared at me and
started writing another ticket for having worn tires! So I
called him a piece of horse shit. He finished the second
ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.
Then he started writing a third ticket! This went on for about
20 minutes... the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
I didn't give a shit. My car was parked around the corner. I
try to have a little fun each day. It's important at my age.
Thing(s) I learned since my last blogging: I'm a fool when it comes to money matters, among other things.
Thing(s) I accomplished since my last blogging: I can't think of anything.
Current music: I want you to want me
And now on to my ramblings of the moment:
I've been very depressed. Tried pulling away from my friends but they just won't let me do it. I scratched up my arm pretty good with a kitchen knife. That's the most I've done in like two months. My room is a disaster, worse than it's ever been. My abnormal psychology reading is coming along much slower than it should. Danielle's birthday was yesterday and I haven't even copied the CDs she wants yet. No idea where the CDs even are or the blank ones. I wish I could just die really, really soon. I need to really cut, not just scratches. I need to see the blood drip down my leg and arm. There are times I hate my bestest friends for talking me into getting rid of all my blades. Right now is one of those times.
My aunt Robin has moved in with us. I cannot stand this woman. She is very narcissistic. She finally got a job at Rubio's (a Mexican restaurant of some sort) yesterday. So of course she had to celebrate by drinking again. She's an alcoholic and has abused drugs for as long as I can remember. Grandma is letting her stay here rent-free and giving her gas money while I have to pay $300 a month to stay here. I wish Robin would go away. Every time she starts talking I feel an irresistible urge to self-injure, which lately has mainly been pulling my hair while she talks or banging my head while I hear her rambling on in the other room. I hate life and I wish my friends would let go so life could end. I'm sorry.
Current music: Darren Hayes - I like the way
Trivia answer: In 1493, Christopher Columbus returned to Spain after his
first voyage to the New World.
Current mood:
Last thoughts: It's only 1:20pm and I'm wishing the day would end, just as I do everyday all day and all night. I hate life. I hate just about everything.

Public access to multi-passenger spacecraft like Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo may still be a few years off, but NASA's personal cab service to and from the International Space Station is set to kick off ahead of schedule.
NASA recently gave the go ahead on the very first cargo delivery to the ISS by SpaceX's Dragon Capsule, pictured here. The private spacecraft is slated to launch at the end of November, and dock with the ISS by the end of 2011 — several months sooner than originally planned.
SpaceX is just one of the private companies courting NASA in a race to become the agency's go-to choice for the delivery of crew and supplies to and from the space station. The shift to commercial space transport signifies just one of the major overhauls NASA is undergoing to help refocus its efforts on deep-space exploration. (Just a few days ago, NASA announced the official creation of its Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate, the organization charged with putting a man on Mars.)
According to a statement issued by SpaceX on Monday, the company hopes that ongoing, commercial delivery of astronauts and supplies to and from the ISS will serve to improve the reliability, frequency, and safety of space travel.
We certainly hope they're right. With several companies striving to be the very best TAXI service they can be, one can only hope the competition will help drive down the cost and overhead of space travel, and, ideally, carry over to industries like space tourism.
I, for one, am ready for my Multipass.

In the latest likely case of an insider attack, an American service member was killed and several others injured Monday when individuals dressed in Afghan police uniforms turned their guns on them in southern Afghanistan, U.S. officials said.
Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, confirmed the death and said that the three Afghan shooters fled and are being sought. Although they were wearing police uniforms, it was not yet certain if they were actually Afghan police or were just wearing the clothing.
Other U.S. officials said that nine U.S. troops were injured in the shooting, mostly with fairly minor wounds. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an investigation.
Neither Graybeal nor other officials would say which branch of the service the U.S. troops were from or provide details on the location of the shooting.
The number of insider attacks in Afghanistan has escalated, with more than a dozen fatal assaults already this year, that have led to more than 20 deaths.
Last year there were a total of 21 fatal attacks that killed 35 coalition service members, according to ISAF figures. That compares with 11 fatal attacks and 20 deaths the previous year. In 2007 and 2008 there were a combined total of four attacks and four deaths.
Officials have not routinely reported the attacks when troops were wounded until a recent Associated Press story detailed the omission. They don't usually disclose the number of service members who are wounded in the fatal attacks.
The attacks spiked after a series of mistakes and other behavior problems by U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan, including the accidental burning of Qurans and other religious materials earlier this year.
Efforts to drawdown the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan — currently at 88,000 — rely on the Americans working closely with their Afghan partners to train and mentor them so that they can take over the security of their country. But such insider attacks fuel distrust between the troops and have triggered increased security protections for the U.S. service members serving in Afghanistan.

A Fool In Morrowind, Day 9 - The Last Dwarf
Agent Loaf returns, after a brief hiatus so RPS could spend some quality time documenting its own history. Now, my plan with this series had been to avoid the core narrative for as long as possible (even though it's something I never got around to the first time I played Morrowind.) Then a funny thing happened. It became compelling. Based on how unsatisfactory I'd found Oblivion and Fallout 3's main plotlines to be, this was not something I'd been expecting. It also puts me in the unusual position of narrativising someone else's narrative -a starkly different prospect to diarising my own haphazard experiences. If you've not ever played Morrowind and still intend to, be aware that here be spoilers…
When someone tells you that you might just be a god… well, that sticks in your craw. My raison d'etre to date has been entirely materialistic, but the growing frequency with which random nutters and even my own trusted contacts have made noises about my possible divine origins have awoken a hunger for metaphysical fulfilment too. So, I put aside my lockpicks for a time and went off in search of answers.
Something went horribly wrong. I've been infected by the most feared disease in the land. Corprus is an awful flesh-eating, flesh-twisting malady with no know cure. Small wonder I caught it, really, given I've lately been fighting things like this:
Yeah, he's probably not big on the personal hygiene, is he? Corprus is horribly infectious, and anyone who contracts it suffers monstrous physical and mental collapse. Strangers run from me in terror, and even my friends (well, contacts. But they're the closest a light-fingered egoist such as I has to friends) stare in horror and refuse to talk to me. I really don't feel much like a god right now.
On the plus side, the time I've spent working for the Blades, the Emperor's secret spy ring, affords me access to information that the average monsterised civilian doesn't benefit from. Pro: there may be a cure after all. Con: to find out about it, I have to visit the top floor of a tower without any stairs, and with a basement full of violent-tempered Corprus victims. Dammit – can't someone just send me a potion on a Silt-Strider? I'm supposed to be a god, people! Do what I damn-well say!
However, it's my contacts' constant, worried highlighting of that lack of stairs that restores my wounded pride somewhat. You'll need to be able to fly to reach the guy who can help, they say. Have this potion that makes you levitate for a bit, but if you waste 'em you're screwed… Hah. I don't need any measly potions – for I wear The Red Bull upon my possibly-divine head.
Named after a mythical but foul-tasting potion rumoured to make the imbiber incredibly twitchy but also give them temporary "wings", this glass helm is the major fruit of the epic thieving sprees brought about by Power-Hat. A stolen Soul Gem containing the essence of a Daedric Lord and a frightening amount of money was spent on enchanting this impressive piece of armour with the power of flight. With it, I can soar across the skies for 30 seconds at a time. Well, I say soar, but "shuffle across the horizon like a geriatric cliff racer" would be more apt. The Red Bull grants me access to, essentially, anywhere in this land, but the wings it gives me sure ain't quick. No matter – it's enough to conquer this stairless tower.
The tower of Divayth Fyr is a sinister place. It stands alone in the fungal wilderness, a long way from civilization. In its antechambers stand four blank-eyed, beautiful young women. The first implies she may be Fyr's lover. As do the others. Upon activating The Red Bull to levitate up to Fyr himself, a darker truth than mere bigamy is revealed. These are his daughters, magically grown, somehow, from his own near-immortal flesh. Yet also his lovers. Maybe. I might just be paranoid.
Brrr. I smile though gritted teeth, wanting for all the world to smack this incestuous, self-worshipping bigamist around his ancient chops with the mighty blade Optimus Slice. I have to be polite, alas, or I shall never be rid of Corprus. Or 'the Divine Disease', as Fyr insists on calling it – believing it to be the physical manifestation of the dark god Dagoth Ur's mark. He too senses there's something otherworldly about me, and that this may be the key to realising the Corprus cure that's eluded him until now.
Of course, he's not just going to give me the fix. Even immortal wizards need errand boys, it transpires. To the Corprusarium with me!
The Corprusarium is Fyr's basement-level refuge/prison for Corprus victims. It's quickly apparent it's more zoo than hospital – dark, dirty and dangerous, and clearly designed more for voyeurism than medicine. I'm oddly relieved I already have Corprus – the worst that could happen to me by visiting this awful place has already happened. I'm under strict instruction not to attack any of the inmates, which seems fair enough. Unfortunately, they're under no such orders, meaning I have to endure the slings and arrows of outrageously mutated monster-men. I'm more glad than I've ever been of Power-Hat, which means I can at least escape their foetid blows without raising a fist in anger myself.
There's also a ton of awesome loot down here – it's so fearful a place that other 'adventurers' have either kept a way or fallen prey to the roaming sickies. In particular, I pick up an incredible piece of chest armour, though I'm intensely annoyed that it doesn't match the rest of my cosmically crystalline Glass Armour. None of these trinkets can, however, hold a candle to the wonder and horror of my true goal in the Corprusarium – The Last Dwarf.
There's much debate about what the Dwemer really are. Are they their own race of squat, bearded humanoids, or yet another subset of the elves so common in Tamriel? Despite being the last of his people, Yagrum Bagarn doesn't provide much in the way of answers. Whatever the Dwemer were, he doesn't look like it any more.
The Last Dwarf – the only living link to a civilization that defines Tamriel's history, and one that mysteriously, horribly disappeared en masse aeons ago. Time has not been kind:
The last dwarf suffers from a morbid case of Corprus. While his face and his mind have yet survived the disease's worst ravages, his body is bloated, monstrous and useless. Only that incredible Dwemer technology – of the sort that created Power-Hat – keeps his life worthwhile. His bloated, cracked-skin bulk rests upon metal spider-legs, though it's clear that given the choice he remains stationary. Too dangerous and too unwell to roam the surface, his only options are death or the untender ministrations of Divayth Fyr and his clone-daughters. In return for the latter, he performs services – explaining and repairing the Dwemer artifacts and technology that Sickboy upstairs is so strangely obsessed with collecting.
I'll confess I've not cared a jot for the lore of this land before now. It largely seems to be very simple concepts unnaturally stretched over unwieldy speeches and too many pages of the history books that fill the stores and homes of Vvardenfell: far too much information, and so detached from my own existence. The Last Dwarf, though – that really fascinates me. To come face-to-face with something spoken of only in confused myths and whispers is almost a miracle. In general, whenever I meet any hitherto unencountered species, it tries to kill me. This one looks like nothing I've ever seen before, but he also talks.
Sadly, he doesn't know what happened to the rest of his people. He suspects it was a botched experiment to depart the physical realm, but whether the Dwemer still live in another form or have simply been atomised is beyond him. I feel a great swell of pity for this lonely, sickly survivor, even as I silently fill my pockets with his rare possessions. He's not only the last of his kind, but he's also an embarrassment to them – what a sad legacy of a once-great race.
After disconsolately sharing what little secrets he does know, the Last Dwarf hands me the artifact Fyr sent me to collect – Dwemer flying boots. As I inspect them, my sadness grows. They're less powerful than The Red Bull. I fear that, should I tell him a hat enchanted by a random, greedy thief not long out of jail trumps one of the last artifacts of his lost race, that would be the final straw for his miserable life. Best to leave, and to keep this poor creature's existence a secret.
Fyr cures me of Corprus (or, at least, of its negative effects – apparently I still carry a non-infectious strain of the disease, which has the side-effect of granting me immunity to all other illnesses. Proof of my godhood appears to be growing…), but, as I fly my now-healthy body off to new adventures, I can't say I feel terribly celebratory.

Next week, to mark Human Rights Day and the 20th anniversary of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNRIC, in partnership with the European Union and BOZAR, will screen the Brussels premier of Fruitvale Station.
Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize for dramatic feature and the Audience Award for U.S. dramatic film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, director Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station follows the last 24 hours in the life of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old resident of the San Francisco Bay area, who was shot dead by a transport cop in the early hours of 2009. It's a sharp, earthy, convincing film about a true-life case; and a heartfelt memorial to the man at its center.
The film focuses on racial prejudice in the United States and brings to light the everyday discrimination people face based on the colour of their skin, their background or their physical appearance.
Unfortunately, racism is a global endemic, affecting the lives of millions of people every day. It hinders progress, immobilizes the global workforce, and destroys societies. The struggle against racism is a matter of priority for the international community and is at the heart of the work of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. That is why Fruitvale Station is the perfect example of the human rights work of the United Nations in striving towards safeguarding rights for all.
The screening will be followed by 'Shine Your Light', an exceptional performance by the Dutch creative group PiPs-Lab, in which each member of the audience will be given a small light and asked to reply to questions relating to human rights. A spectacular magical experience will ensue. After which guests will enjoy a special birthday reception, marking the 20th anniversary of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
An unmissablefilm, an extraordinary evening, this Human Rights Day is set to be unforgettable.
The evening is the December instalment of Ciné-ONU, to attend please follow the link to register here.

Trojans knock down Iowa Lakes
MASON CITY – No. 20 Iowa Lakes suffered its second worst loss of the season as NIACC defeated the Lakers 95-75 on Wednesday on Wednesday.
Both teams threw up 63 shots from the floor with the Lakers making 30 and NIACC making 31. But the Trojans made five more three-pointers (8-3) as well as earning more trips to the free throw line where the hosts went 25-of-30 while the Lakers finished 12-of-21.
Latrell Love led the Lakers with 27 points while Deondre Parks finished with 17, but they were the only two to reach double digits for the visitors.

Maybe Lady Gaga isn't so different after all.
The pop star known for her eccentric outfits and music videos admitted during an interview with Sirius XM Hits 1 radio Friday that she has a hard time resisting Chicago pizza like the rest of us.
"I love ordering Chicago pizza," Gaga said. "It's so bad. My boyfriend caught me once eating it in the bathroom in the middle of the night. I woke up in the middle of the night and I found a piece that was sitting by the bed or something and I walked into the bathroom and I was eating it. I just heard the (sound of the) door open and I had the pizza in my mouth and he just shook his head at me and said, 'That is just shameful.' "
Try living next to a Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, Gaga. Every day is a struggle for me.
Gaga didn't say which Chicago pizza joint is her favorite, but she was spotted at Lou Malnati's in River North and Pizano's Pizza in the Loop last year. And if you're wondering how she still manages to stay in shape, Gaga has also been spotted at Reform Chicago pilates studio in River North and, reportedly, Bikram Yoga River North studio.
On Monday, Gaga will release her third studio album, "Artpop." She said the album is inspired, in part, by Chicago because she has spent plenty of time here while her boyfriend Taylor Kinney films NBC's "Chicago Fire.
"I've been living a lot in Chicago, mostly, and I actually find Chicago to be really, really cool about me and what I do," Gaga told Sirius XM. "It became a big source of inspiration on the album with R. Kelly and DJ White Shadow, who is from Chicago, and also just becoming interested in how Chicago music affected French house and techno music as well as German techno and house music. It just sort of became something that I really became obsessed with. And they let me go out and have drinks. ..."

The U.S. has also cooperated with numerous allies to develop more tactical missiles defenses designed to stop rockets, not in their boost phase, but just before they hit. One of those projects is the Iron Dome system that Israel launched after the 2006 war in Lebanon, during which Hezbollah bombarded northern Israel with thousands of rockets. Today Iron Dome, which is still officially listed as experimental, is operational–and it is blunting Hamas's missile-offensive against Israel.
According to the Israeli Embassy in Washington: "In the last 4 days: 544 rockets fired from Gaza hit Israel + 302 Iron Dome interceptions = 846 rockets fired at us." The fact that only 302 of 846 rockets were intercepted (36 percent) might indicate that Iron Dome is ineffective. But in fact it is expressly designed to ignore rockets headed for uninhabited areas. Israeli officials say that 90 percent of the attempted interceptions have worked, thus providing critical protection for civilian areas including Tel Aviv, where an Iron Dome battery has just been moved.

How would you like to be in a position to tell your grandchildren you supported the man who ruined America? Who, while she was down, kicked and maimed, invaded and ridiculed her, and stole all her wealth for his personal gain? Who paraded an example of lawlessness throughout the world, and sent our soldiers to their deaths with both hands tied behind their backs? Do you think your grandchildren will thank you or revile you?
Well get used to it democrats, YOU OWN OBAMA! 😆 🙄
Remember, the man is slipping mentally.
But I bet the dems blame anyone else but themselves for the mess he's created.

Just the other week, we purged the cabinets under the sink. Well, mainly we got rid of soda bottles so Dad could sell them. Then we noticed this smell and realized that one of the faucets has been leaking, not leaking where water is wasted but more on water not properly passing through the pipes. Must do something about it soon, an addition to the long list of what needs repairing in the house! Sigh.

one year
One year. One year ago tonight I met my DC friends for one last Tex-Mexish (this is DC we're talking about) dinner, woke up the next morning, took a walk, repacked my backpack for the tenth time so it all fit in and weighed less than 42 pounds, took a shuttle to the airport, flew overnight to London, had lunch with Camilla in the shadow of St. Paul's, flew overnight to Kampala, caught a ten-hour bus to Kigali, took a three-hour taxi to Gisenyi, and crossed the border into Goma on a sunny, unstable Saturday morning on Lake Kivu. And thus the adventure began.
One year later, I am deep into dissertation writing. It is slow going, sometimes only two pages a day. I agonize over sentences, making sure every word is precise. It's just a dissertation, but it's also the first original thing I'll ever put out for the world to judge. So it needs to say exactly what I mean for it to say. Two pages a day isn't really that bad, it comes to 30 or 40 pages a month and more than 700 in a year, which is about 300 pages more than I need. But sometimes I look at the pages and feel like I've done so little. And yet. It's been a year.
Right now I am working on an historical overview of health care provision in Congo-Zaire. So I'm looking back over several histories of the colonial and post-colonial era. It's not very exciting. Lots of crusty old books that no one has checked out in ten years. Long treatises by racist Belgian colonial administrators. That sort of thing. Snooze.
But yesterday I came across a passage that stopped me cold. It was about one of Mobutu's government ministers. Mobutu, you see, was the president of Zaire, and while he wasn't busy stealing between $4-15 billion from the country, he had a habit of moving friends and enemies in and out of political offices. This particular government minister was a friend, then an enemy, then an exile, and then a friend again. It sounds bizarre, but this sort of thing happened to lots of people.
When he was an enemy, Mobutu's security forces tortured him. The book contained a rather graphic explanation of exactly what they did to him. It's horribly unpleasant, and not anything I can put on this blog. It's a wonder they didn't execute him. He came back later and died a free man long after Mobutu was gone.
Here's the thing: this man's daughter is my friend. I knew this, I knew who her dad was, and that he'd been a significant player in Congolese politics.
But I didn't know he'd been tortured. I didn't know her family had endured exile. I didn't know. And I still don't know what that must have done to her, what it made her think about God and the world and how cruel humans can be to one another. My gosh. Torture is something that happens to nameless terror suspects, or to African politicians in obscure books. Not to someone whose child is my friend.
Sometimes I wonder if I should just finish my dissertation, get a job, and start researching politics in some nice, safe place. Australia. Sweden. Vermont. Congo is just too hard sometimes. I'm in the middle of writing an important paragraph and I start crying because my friend had to live with the knowledge that her daddy was tortured in a dark room in a horrible, filthy prison. I'm looking for more recent data on numbers of doctors and nurses in Goma, and I come across a film trailer about rape victims, and I have to stop.
They don't teach you how to deal with this in research methods. Academics are supposed to be impartial observers, unaffected by their subjects and their circumstances. You are Not Supposed to Get Emotionally Involved. Even in the midst of horror.
Clearly I'm not going to make a very good academic. The poet Derek Walcott asked the question that is always, ever on my mind: "How can I face such slaughter and be cool? / How can I turn from Africa and live?"
Academics in my field also aren't supposed to quote poetry, unless you are the eccentric, retired professor in our department who used Yeats' "The Second Coming" last week to explain what he thinks is happening to American politics ("The falcon cannot hear the falconer;/ Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; / Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, / ...The best lack all conviction while the worst / Are filled with pasionate intensity. ."). I'm a good fifty years from being able to get away with that.
But Walcott's question is The Question. I don't have categories for the horrors I saw this year. I don't know how to let go of that and write as a cold, impartial scientific observer. How do you do it? How do I do it? I can't process it, but I can't turn my back on it. What do you do about that?
One year. It's so much time, and sometimes it feels like yesterday. I know a lot more than I knew on that freezing cold night in DC a year ago. I have stacks of data and books and dissertation pages to prove it.
But I also have more questions than I did a year ago, and even fewer answers. How long will it take to figure this out? One year hasn't been anywhere near enough.

About the Zika virus
Zika is an illness caused by the Zika virus. The virus is spread to people primarily through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. This is the same mosquito that can spread other illnesses, such as dengue.
What Zika means for travellers, generally
Of those people infected with the Zika virus, about one in five experiences symptoms. Common symptoms include: fever, a skin rash, muscle or joint pain, headaches, malaise and conjunctivitis (inflamed, red eyes). The illness is usually mild, with symptoms lasting from a couple of days to a week. Severe disease requiring hospitalisation is uncommon. About 80% of people infected will bear no symptoms at all.Those women who are not carrying a pregnancy or planning one and all men can choose to travel wherever they wish. All travellers are encouraged to take standard steps to protect themselves from mosquitoes. Such steps include wearing loose, light-coloured clothes and covering as much skin as possible, with long sleeves, long trousers, socks and closed shoes. Insect repellent is strongly advised, too. Take particular care at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. If you are susceptible to common infections, consult your doctor before travelling to an affected region.
What Zika means for women and pregnancyWomen who are currently pregnant or planning a pregnancy are advised to select their travel destinations carefully. Maternal-to-foetal transmission of the Zika virus may occur at any stage of pregnancy. A possible association has been made between a mother's exposure to the virus and her infant developing microcephaly (a neurological condition in which an infant's head is significantly smaller than the heads of his or her peers).
How Trafalgar is responding
Trafalgar remains connected to our passion for travel. The well-being of all of our guests and team members is always our top priority. There are currently no changes to any of our itineraries. We are monitoring the situation and are guided throughout by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Because our guests stay in first class, air-conditioned hotels and travel in air-conditioned coaches, the risk of encountering mosquitoes is lowered considerably.
Trafalgar guests on trips to affected countries will be given insect repellents. We strongly encourage guests to carry a personal supply, however, particularly if you prefer particular brands or have skin sensitivities.
Trafalgar will allow any woman who is pregnant prior to her intended trip to an affected destination in 2016 and who wishes to cancel it, the opportunity to change to any other Trafalgar trip or offer a full refund for her and her travel companion(s). A doctor's letter confirming the pregnancy will be needed to process the request. Many airlines will refund pregnant women travelling to affected areas, too. Please contact your air carrier for more information.
Guests due to travel to destinations as listed below can amend their booking to an alternative trip operated by Trafalgar.
As a matter of course, we recommend to all guests to purchase insurance (containing cancellation coverage) at the time of booking. Should you need to cancel a booking, for whatever reason, you will be credited the price of the trip.
Trafalgar country destinations affectedTrafalgar operates in the following countries where the Zika virus has been reported.
Brazil: Manaus in the Amazon, Rio de Janeiro and Iguassu Falls are affected by this virus.
Costa Rica: Because Costa Rica has a warm, humid climate, mosquitoes are found there. As of early February, only two cases of the virus were reported in the country, from travellers returning from other affected regions.
Ecuador: Although certain parts of Ecuador have been affected, most of our travel is to the highlands where mosquitoes are not found.
Mexico: Although certain parts of Mexico have been affected, Trafalgar does not visit them.
Panama: The north-east area of Guna Yala has been affected, but Trafalgar does not visit there.
Further advice and information
Keep yourself updated by consulting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and visit its Q&As. The CDC is providing relevant travel advice here, plus updates on countries affected here.
Consult the World Health Organization's fact sheet on Zika.

Want a ticket for the express line to federal prison? Try selling nuclear tech to another country. A husband and wife duo—former contractors at the nuke-specializing Los Alamos National Lab—are indicted on charges of exporting secrets to Venezuela.
MSNBC reports the couple—Pedro and Marjorie Mascheroni—formed a relationship with an undercover American agent posing as a Venezuelan, who was promised that they could help Venezuela "develop a nuclear bomb within 10 years" using a secret underground reactor. Mr. Mascheroni holds a PhD in physics, as well as crucially important access to restricted data after his tenure at Los Alamos. Knowledge he was perhaps not privy to was that Venezuela ratified the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean 40 years ago.
If convicted on all charges, the couple could face life in prison. [MSNBC]

Weekly Thursday mornings seem to roll around quicker than the Little Tykes toys that sped atop my kitchen floor over the past two decades. That sentimental part of my child rearing years has all but disappeared, (of course I've all but forgotten about the sleepless bleary eyed nights, sticky pacifiers glued to the bottom of my pocketbook…), but the familiar weekly whisper still persists…"WHAT ARE YOU MAKING FOR SHABBAT DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT?" Hmmmm….
Choices, choices…. as I browse through my pantry ….
A new meat dish for Shabbat…. what's quick… delicious…not TOO heavy…??? Maybe lamb chops???
YES!!!! No need to marinate an entire roast! One or two bite sized chops per family member. Kind of pricey but SO worth it for a quick change of pace on the Friday night dinner table. My once little ones now appreciate this bite sized delicacy and my youngest picky kid will actually take a couple of chomps!
My doorbell rings and the kosher chops are delivered very quickly from my local kosher butcher.
I minced some garlic, ginger, a grind of black pepper and a splash of olive oil and Wasabi Teriyaki Soy Vay Marinade, and I was on my way!
Sliced and spiced my mushrooms and they too were soon ready to roast in the oven.
They were truly a hit at the Shabbat dinner table. As proof I wish I could have taken a picture of the empty lamb chop platter! (no pics on Shabbat!)
Many lamb chop recipes call for "Frenched" lamb chops, which means that a butcher will take off all of the fat from the bone but I couldn't disagree more! The fat on the bone of the chops will add more flavor to the bone, and as we all know- when it comes to lamb chops- forget about manners! It sounds greasy, but a real lamb chop lover will suck that bone dry. Of course you can tell your butcher to take most of the fat off the bone, but don't leave it totally bone dry.
I really enjoy using the Soy Vay Marinade products because I don't need to chop tons of fancy ingredients just to make a fabulous dish. PLUS- who wants all those preservatives found in all of those other marinades? (YUCK! NOT ME!!) The folks at Soy Vay have done all the chopping and Asian culinary tasting work for us. It's already and packaged in their easy to spot Soy Vay bottles on the supermarket shelf. You can try it for yourself! It's available at all Foodtown, Food Emporium and D'Agostino and Whole Foods supermarkets. You can also use one click shopping with Amazon link below.
Of course I would totally recommend these lamb chops as a special man treat for Father's Day, and make sure to have Soy Vay on hand for summer grilling!
For a fabulous grilled salmon recipe marinated in Soy Vay, click HERE.
Here's the EASY recipe:
- 1/4 cup of Soy Vay Wasabi Teriyaki
- 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped ginger
- black pepper
- About a half hour before serving:
- Place an empty roaster in a PREHEATED 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
- Throw your lamb chops in the HOT roaster and let sizzle for about 10 minutes on each side.
- If you like your chops rare, then you can take them out about now. They will keep cooking even after they are removed from the oven. Keep covered till serving.
- I like to lower the oven heat to about 350 degrees and let them cook for another 5 minutes for the younger kids portions.
- Of course you can always grill them on the barbecue but I know that I have more control over the juiciness of these chops if the juices are marinating my meat in a roaster, and not dripping down into the bbq coals...
- Clean and slice 2 boxes of button mushrooms (they shrink like crazy)
- Marinate in 1/4 cup Soy Vay Wasabi marinade.
- Place an empty roaster in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes.
- Slide your mushrooms into the sizzling pan shaking the UNCOVERED pan every 2 minutes for about 15 minutes till mushrooms lose their juices and become crispy looking on the edges.
- Garnish grilled lamb chops with mushrooms and 2 teaspoons of sliced scallions.
Thank you to the nice people at Soy Vay for sending over some bottles of their products for me to try!
