'God's Pocket' review: A little too restrained
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle : May 15, 2014 : Updated: May 15, 2014 2:46pm

Photo By Lance AcordPhilip Seymour Hoffman, left, goes stoic as Mickey opposite John Turturro in "God's Pocket."
Philip Seymour Hoffman had a knack for playing desperate, smug and conniving during his 20-plus years as one of America's finest actors.
For "God's Pocket," one of Hoffman's last major roles, the actor shows little more than stoic dignity. The performance is still interesting - one of the few consistent elements in an uneven movie. But Hoffman, in one of his less emotive roles, feels as if he's winding down.
Of course director John Slattery, and Hoffman himself, didn't know the actor's time was short when "God's Pocket" was in production. (The film was finished long before Hoffman's accidental drug overdose death in February.) But as an audience, it's hard not to see it through that filter. For this role, and any other posthumous scrap of film, we as fans will look not just at Hoffman's performance, but also for the signs. Clear evidence to help explain the unexplainable.
Indeed, it's a shock how world-weary Hoffman looks in this movie, with his pot belly, constant sweating and soiled white tank top undershirt. But that describes pretty much everyone in God's Pocket, a neighborhood in Philadelphia where a lot of good-intentioned people do a lot of stupid things to keep themselves in their bad positions.
The film is based on Pete Dexter's 1983 book, but Slattery clearly knows the territory well, bathing his film in grease and sweat and stale Schlitz beer. Hoffman is Mickey, a plodding but capable truck driver who seems to fit in the neighborhood well, even though he's constantly reminded he's not from God's Pocket.
The death of loose cannon son-in-law Leon is devastating to Mickey's wife, Jeannie (Christina Hendricks). From there, the plot is forwarded by a series of gambling, mafia and journalism cliches, to a messy finish.
Many of the individual scenes are compelling, with a gritty tension that recalls "The Wire" and other good television. (Slattery is a star on "Mad Men," one of the best actors on one of the best shows on TV.) But too many of the attempts at "The Sopranos"-style comic drama fail. Maybe the comedy beats are a little off. Or maybe these people are just too gloomy to generate much hilarity.
Hoffman's mouth is set in a scowl throughout "God's Pocket," like a cartoon caveman. At the beginning of the second act, Hendricks' character becomes a brooding cipher. The two leads aren't wasted, but they're greatly restrained.
The actors in smaller roles - including Eddie Marsan as a calculating mortician and Peter Gerety as a bartender - have more success. Character actor extraordinaire Glenn Fleshler is particularly good as a job site foreman, whose strict adherence to the neighborhood code has cinematically satisfying results. You might not want to live in God's Pocket, but it's an interesting place to visit.
God's Pocket
Drama. Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christina Hendricks, Richard Jenkins and John Turturro. Directed by John Slattery. (R. 88 minutes.)

I have no proof that Jonathan, the son of Abraham Whitaker and Sarah Trask is the Jonathan that died and is buried in Stafford. I have relied John Osborne Austin's "One Hundred and Sixty Allied Families" (available on Ancestry.com), pp. 266-268. I found the evidence cited in the book persuasive, but it is certainly possible that I am mistaken. Austin does, however, mention that Jonathan's great-grandson Ede Whitaker wrote that Jonathan was a victim of the 1704 Haverhill massacre that killed much of Abraham Whitaker's family.

One of the sources for this info is History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield, Vol. I, Database on line, Ancestry.com, 686. Another source is that Jonathan was baptized in Fairfield, Connecticut on 10 Jul 1698 (Page 138. Vol. 33 in Fairfield - Connecticut Church Record Abstracts, 1630-1920, Ancestry.com, based on Connecticut Church Records Index at Connecticut State Library, Hartford, Connecticut). I note that the tombstone in the old Stafford Street Cemetery does not give the
date of birth of the Jonathan you have listed, only that he died at 90. However, tombstones are notorious for giving the age at death in error. It is not unusual for them to be off by a few years; and, sometimes more. My Jonathan and his wife, Sarah, also had another child which was recorded as having been born on 22 May 1700 at Stratfield, showing that they moved there by 1700. There also is mention of them in the Minutes of the Court of Assistants regarding a divorce petition being turned down by the court. In view of the fact that Fairfield and/or Stratfield is only 18 miles from Stafford, I ask again......what proof do you have that this is the same Jonathan born in Haverhill MA or that he moved to CT?

I am researching John Whittaker and Elizabeth Linfield of Watertown MA and have proof, in the form of a warning out letter from the town of Concord MA to David Whittaker regarding his brother, "Jonathan Whittaker of Connecticut
Colony" having stayed at his house in Concord a bit too long. This "Warning
Out Letter" was dated 25 Nov 1700. This Jonathan Whittaker, son of John
and Elizabeth was b. 1664 in Watertown MA; but, certainly could have
had son named Jonathan by 1696, as he married Sarah Toothaker in 1694
before leaving for Connecticut. They had just one child, a dau. b. 1695 in
Concord and no other paper trail generated in MA.

DIC Upgrades Earnings Forecast
1:16 AM MDT | October 25, 2010 | Deepti Ramesh
DIC Corp. has upgraded its earnings forecast for the fiscal first half ended September 30, 2010. DIC expects to record net profits of ¥12 billion ($148 million), having previously forecast net profits of ¥8 billion. The sales forecast remains unchanged at ¥390 billion. The earlier forecasts were announced in August 2010. The earnings forecast has been upgraded because DIC expects interest expenses to have declined as a consequence of falling interest rates and the loss on disposal of noncurrent assets, an extraordinary loss, to be smaller than...

Daylight saving time (DST) provides "extended" sunlight hours during the summer. Typically, those who practice DST advance their clock time ahead one hour (in the spring) or back one hour (in the fall) to 'save time'.
Sometime in the mid 2000s, the end of DST was amended from the last Sunday of October to the first Sunday of November to allow for longer daylight for trick or treating on Halloween when it's still light out.
|Source: Wikipedia
When do we observe daylight savings time?
In the spring- Second Sunday in March at 2am local time.
In the fall- First Sunday in November at 2am local time.
How do we observe daylight savings time? What do we do?
In the spring at 2am on the second Sunday in March, we should turn our clocks ahead (spring ahead). Instead of it being 2am at 2am it will now be 3am. We lose one hour of time that weekend.
In the fall at 2am on the fist Sunday in November, we should turn our clocks back (fall back). Instead of it being 2am at 2am it will now be 1am. We gain one hour of time that weekend.
Does one have to do it at 2am?
Well, no, though it will make the alarm clock wake you up at the right time Sunday if you do! We can do it when we fall asleep the night before so our alarm will wake us up in the morning. We do not have to get up at 2am to change it this way.
If I forget or am confused how do I know the correct time?
There are a few tricks if this is confusing! Breathe a sigh of relief!
- Most computers and cell phones will automatically change the time as long as your device is set to the right time zone.
- If in the US, turn on the TV or the radio and wait for the time to be displayed or mentioned.
Change your clocks on all time-telling devices such as:
- watches
- microwaves/ ovens
- alarm clocks
- clocks in cars
- wrist watches
- any other gadget with a clock/watch on it!
How does DST affect our family and friends abroad?
Because not all places or countries participate in DST, your family half a world away doesn't feel the 'time change'. Keep them in the loop about the time changes so that you can coordinate your calls appropriately.
Daylight saving time also impacts how meetings are scheduled across international time zones. For information on managing time when the clocks change, read this article.
When is Daylight Saving Time in the USA?
Spring ahead - March 8
Fall back - November 1
Start of DST - March 13
End of DST - November 6
End of Standard Time - March 12
Start of Standard Time - November 5

New Mexico Lobos Men - On The Mountain West RoadTuesday: Colorado State Rams 71, New Mexico Lobos 63
Saturday:5 p.m. (MT), New Mexico Lobos at TCU Horned Frogs
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
The "trap game" that Steve Alfordalways warns his Lobos about snapped shut in a big way Tuesday night in Fort Collins, Colo., where the Colorado State Rams stung the No. 18 ranked New Mexico Lobos 71-63 in Mountain West action.
The Rams played small ball in attacking the Lobos off the dribble and came up with enough plays and enough big baskets down the stretch to snap UNM's seven-game win streak. The Lobos fall to 22-5 and 8-3 in the MW, but UNM still has a one-game lead with three regular-season games to play.
"We didn't shoot the ball very well," said Alford. "We knew this was going to be a difficult game and then it was a game in which we didn't shoot very well. It was a tough night for us, but those things happen in a very difficult league.
"It happens (on the road). We understand that. It wasn't an effort deal. Our kids battled, but we picked the wrong night to shoot the ball poorly."
The Lobos made several runs at CSU in the second half, but the gutsy Rams refused to crumble on their home court and now own a 13-1 mark in Moby Arena. UNM moves on to play at TCU on Saturday.
"They are undefeated at home (in conference play), too," said Alford of the Frogs. "We have to try and get a split and then hold serve at home. It's not over just because you get two games up. Now, we are one game up."
The Lobos never looked to be in rhythm on the Moby Arena floor. Kendall Williams scored 16 points for UNM, but was 3-of-13 from the field. Drew Gordon had 13 points, but only six boards which were neutralized by six turnovers. Demetrius Walker came off the bench to score 14 points. The Lobos got two points from Tony Snell and Hugh Greenwood had no points and no assists. Phillip McDonald and Jamal Fenton came off the bench to go 2-of-10 from the floor.
CSU got 17 points from Dorian Green, who went 8-of-8 from the line with several key free throws coming down the stretch. The Rams got a big game inside from Pierce Hornung, who was the best big man on the court on this night. He scored 13 points and hauled down 15 boards. CSU's Wes Eikmeier had 11 points.
"I thought Hornung was really good," said Alford. "I thought he was the difference in the game. He was just really, really active. They are so undersized that we thought we could take advantage of that in the paint. But we got beat inside. Their undersized kids really battled."
The Rams went 20-of-23 from the free-throw line with the only misses coming from Hornung. The line was a key area for CSU, especially with UNM having its worst shooting game in Mountain West play at 36.7 percent. The Rams shot 44.2 percent. UNM was 26 percent from long range at 6-of-23.
The Rams had nine steals to six for UNM and outscored the taller Lobos 30-24 in the paint. A lot of those inside buckets for CSU came from Rams attacking the rim off the dribble.
"That shouldn't have happened," Alford said of the inside scoring. "We weren't able to exploit the things that we were trying to exploit."
Second Half: Colorado State 41, New Mexico 34
At the 15:30 mark, the gap between the two teams had changed by only a point. The Lobos and Rams went into their huddles knotted at 36-all.
The Rams then made some big shots and a few big plays. Wes Eikmeier hit back-to-back treys, the second coming off a Lobo turnover, and CSU was up 43-36. Alford burned a 30-second time out.
Phillip McDonald came off the bench and hit a long trey and was fouled. He converted the four-point play and UNM pulled to 43-40. Williams was bumped on a drive and cut UNM's hole to 43-42 on two free throws. At the 11:22 break, CSU was up 46-44.
The Rams got a trey from Jesse Carr at 10:17 to go up 49-46. That score held at the 7:50 media break. UNM had 16 turnovers to 12 for CSU at that point. UNM was up on the boards 33-26.
The Rams continued to make just enough plays to stay ahead and at a 4:36 break, CSU was up 56-52. The Lobos last six points had come from the free-throw line.
At the 4:19 mark, Hornung went to the line looking at a one-and-one. CSU was 13-of-15 at the line at that point with the two misses coming from Hornung. He made them both: 58-52. UNM's McDonald missed a trey and CSU went inside to Hornung, who burned Gordon on a drive for a left-handed layup: 60-52 and Alford called for time.
The Lobos came out and worked the ball to Gordon who crashed into Kaipo Sabas as Gordon scored on the drive. Sabas got the foul and Gordon went to the line. He made the extra shot and UNM was down five points: 60-55 with 3:25 to go.
Green missed on a drive for CSU, but Williams turned the ball over for UNM at 2:53. Eikmeier missed on the drive for CSU, but Hornung got the follow: 62-55. Gordon scored inside for UNM: 62-57. CSU's Green went to the line with 2:05 to play and hit both shots: 64-57. UNM got an offensive board from Cameron Bairstow, who kicked out to Walker for a trey. UNM was down 64-60.
CSU called time with 1:42 to play, up four points. The Rams had to burn another time out at 1:23 when UNM trapped Green near the sideline. CSU threw up a bad shot, but Bairstow put a forearm in Hornung's back on the rebound. The Ram made one: 65-60 with 1:10 to go.
Fenton missed a trey for UNM. CSU got the board and the Lobos did not foul. Green drove the lane and flipped up a leaning left-handed layup that rolled in: 67-60. The Rams made a mistake allowing Williams to launch a trey. He hit it. The Lobos were down 67-63.
UNM fouled Green with 23.6 to go. He made both free shots: 69-63 with 32 ticks to go. UNM called a time out with 31 seconds to go. The Rams got the ball in and burned seven seconds off the clock before UNM fouled Green. Green made both shots from the line with 24 seconds to go: 69-63.
Williams missed a trey and Hornung got a dunk with seven seconds to play to form the 71-63 final.
The Lobos went 7:23 without a field goal at one stretch in the second half -- from the 10:48 mark to 3:25 mark. During that span, UNM missed five field goals and had four turnovers on consecutive possessions.
First Half: Colorado State 30, New Mexico 29
The first half in Fort Collins wasn't like the first half in The Pit where UNM basically had put the game away with a 47-29 lead. On the Rams' floor, it was the Lobos who totaled the 29 points, but the Rams were only a point up at 30.
The Rams and the Lobos were close in most first-half stats, except for bench points where UNM had 15 and CSU had four. Walker was the big spark off the bench with seven points and Fenton launched in a long three at the top of the key to beat the buzzer and form the 30-29 count. The Lobos got six field goals from their starters and six off the bench.
The Rams got nine points from Dorian Green and 10 boards from Pierce Hornung as CSU won the glass battle 20-19. Williams, Greenwood and Snell combined to go 2-for-11 from the field. The bad news was UNM was behind. The kind-of-good news was UNM was only behind by a point and playing badly.
The Lobos jumped up 4-2 on buckets by Gordon and Hardeman. The Rams took a 5-4 lead when good ball movement produced an open-look trey from Dorian Green. The Rams took a 7-4 lead into the first media break at 14:54 when Green scored on a backdoor layup.
The Lobos did not start this game off hot from the field. At the 11:33 break, the Lobos formed a 9-all tie off a short jumper and a 3-pointer by Adams. UNM was shooting 4-of-13 at that point.
CSU ran to an 18-11 lead before the Lobos used a couple of CSU mistakes to cut that gap to 18-15. CSU Coach Tim Miles called a time out. At the 7:48 media break, CSU was up 20-15.
The Rams slipped into a 22-15 lead before UNM's walker hit a quick-jump jumper and banged in a trey to make it 22-20. CSU took a 24-20 lead into the 3:41 break off a Hornung dunk.
CSU was up 30-26 with the clock ticking down when Fenton pulled up and hit his long trey to make the halftime count 30-29.

After 30 years of rapid economic growth, China is looking to refuel its momentum by restructuring its economy to suit the changing times. Late in 2013, China unveiled the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, the first of several experimental free trade areas within mainland China. The zone is a testing ground for a number of economic policy changes, including relaxed restrictions on many industries, from banking and shipping to video games and motorcycles. What do the features of the SFTZ mean for foreign investors?
One of the biggest implications is the full convertibility of the yuan. Though the State Administration of Foreign Exchange announced in January 2011 that the currency would be fully convertible by 2016, the SFTZ not only accelerates the timetable but helps put it in action on the global market. Full convertibility will allow Chinese banks to conduct offshore business, compete with London and New York, and circulate the yuan all over the world.
Waigaoqiao is a well infrastructured area within the 11-square-mile boundaries of the SFTZ that has historically been a manufacturing and logistics base, and the Agricultural Bank of China Agricultural Bank of China recently invested more than $40 billion in the development of the Free Trade Zone. With no real need to build more roads and runways, some think the money could be diverted toward real estate instead, encouraging foreign investors to set up shops that could create a new hub of financial services near the Shanghai Stock Exchange. These foreign companies are already allowed to invest freely in banks—with reduced transaction costs for firms to create more efficient trading—making it not only easier for investors, but cheaper as well.
Real Estate
Shanghai had already been a favorite destination of real-estate investors in recent years, and the SFTZ should make the city even more accessible for developers looking to take part in a crucial proponent of China's economy. Even before the free-trade zone opened, the value of real estate shot up in the surrounding areas. Now that there will no longer be limits on the foreign percentage of joint construction projects with Chinese developers within the SFTZ, development opportunities are more attractive to investors from abroad.
China will start trading gold internationally within the free-trade zone starting in the final quarter of 2014. Even with their previous restrictions, China overtook India as the world's largest gold user last year, and they are looking to strengthen their foothold in the global gold market by allowing qualified investors to create accounts with banks in the free trade zone. This new trading platform applies to bullion as well, and China is the leading global producer of that, too. The newly lifted restrictions are already having an effect; Singapore will be introducing a physical gold contract with China later this year.
The Shanghai Free Trade Zone can do wonders for the future of China's economy. But it's worth noting that, despite optimism, the SFTZ is merely experimental at this stage, and though many restrictions have been recently lifted or amended, there has been criticism that they contain gray areas and contradictions. Foreign companies are now allowed to invest in real estate brokerages, but only if they have other lines of business. But the country has nine other free-trade zones in addition to Shanghai, and their cumulative influence on the global economy can help China keep pace with other superpowers.

Seven Grand Expands to San Diego
Acclaimed Los Angeles Whiskey Bar Debuts Second Location
Celebrated nightlife operator Cedd Moses together with partner Eric Needleman, open Seven Grand Whiskey Bar in San Diego, California, bringing their contemporary and distinguished brand of whiskey culture beyond Los Angeles for the first time. The newest endeavor from Moses' 213 Nightlife group debuts in San Diego's North Park neighborhood adjacent to some the city's most vibrant and diverse collection of restaurants and bars.
The 4,100-square foot space is inspired by a traditional hunting lodge and features spacious indoor, outdoor, and private room seating bathed in dark, warm hues. Architect and designer Patry + Kline bring the aesthetic to life with walnut and mahogany handcrafted woodwork, a whimsical taxidermy collection reflected in the original Los Angeles location, custom snugs (mahogany-walled leather booths), Scottish plaid textiles, and a dedicated cigar patio.
Drawing from the extensive variety of whiskeys, ryes, and Scotches found throughout the world including the US, Europe, Japan, and India, the expertly curated menu will include over 200 marks as well as Seven Grand's award-winning cocktail list highlighting vintage and modern recipes with fresh pressed juices and handmade syrups. To complement the whiskey-focused menu, Seven Grand San Diego General Manager Mike Vizcarra has created a thoughtful lineup of beer with a focus on hyper-local brews, a nod to San Diego's prolific craft beer culture.
Seven Grand San Diego will also offer the brand's eponymous "Whiskey Society," a unique membership program providing guests the opportunity to further explore the spirit via education and experimentation with comprehensive tastings featuring Master Distillers, International Brand Ambassadors, and notable members of the liquor industry.
Seven Grand is located in San Diego's North Park neighborhood (3054 University Ave) and is open 7 days a week from 8pm-2am. Beginning late summer, the venue will feature liveentertainment from local artists featuring Jazz and Blues with no cover charge. For more information, please call 619-269-8820
About 213:
213 is Los Angeles' acclaimed nightlife group helmed by celebrated hospitality innovator Cedd Moses. Under his deft touch, 213 has both established and elevated the city's craft cocktail culture through its diverse collection of over ten bar/restaurant venues, attracting more than one million customers each year. 213 was the first nightlife developer to stake a claim in downtown's historically significant buildings, transforming the neighborhood into a cultural destination and contributing to the bustling downtown real estate renaissance that has reinvented modern LA living. Each bar, set in reclaimed architectural gems, showcases distinct and dedicated spirit programs led by some of the country's luminary bartenders offering guests an authentic—and accessible—sense of place including Seven Grand; Cole's French Dip & Red Car Bar; The Varnish; Las Perlas; Golden Gopher & 8th Street Bottle Shop; Caña Rum Bar; Broadway Bar; Tony's Saloon; and Casey's Irish Pub.

MANCHESTER, Ill. (AP) - Authorities say the five people found shot to death inside a home in a tiny central Illinois community were two young brothers, their parents and their great-grandmother.
Illinois State Police identified the victims Thursday as 1-year-old Brantley Ralston and 5-year-old Nolan Ralston.
Their slain parents are 29-year-old James Roy Ralston and 23-year-old Brittney Luark, who was also pregnant.
The fifth victim is Luark's grandmother and great grandmother of the boys, 67-year-old Jo Ann Sinclair.
The bodies were discovered Wednesday inside a home in Manchester, located about 50 miles west of Springfield.
A short time later the suspect in the shootings was killed in a gun battle with police.

Rockport Film Festival screens range from quirky to 'thought provoking' flicks
ROCKPORT - Filmmakers from near and far will have their creations on display this weekend as the Rockport Film Festival screens 43 movies, ranging from movies about coming home to documentaries on the meaning of life.
The festival, which has been going on for six years, attracted more than 200 entries, which were screened down to ones that will be screened this weekend.
One of the highlights, which will be shown at 3 p.m. Friday, is "Reconvergence," directed by Corpus Christi's Edward Tyndall. The film follows four people whose work forces them to confront life's meaning.
"It's a very thought provoking meditation on being human in the 21st Century," said John Aäsp, the festival's managing director. "It's always great to have Corpus Christi filmmakers be a part of the festival as well."
The film started by following a neuroscientist who is researching hallucinogenic drugs, Tyndall said. Through him it leads to a poet, a naturalist and a historian.
"We were making this movie about this disparate but interconnected people looking for the meaning of life," Tyndall said. "We found the stories as we went along."
Brady Dial knew exactly what he was chasing. The producer of "Man on a Mission," the story of an astronaut's son who wants to follow in his father's footsteps, knew he had something as soon as he heard Richard Garriott's story. Garriott was denied entry to the NASA program because he didn't have 20/20 eyesight and went on to make a fortune designing video games. When the Russians began offering space trips to those who could afford to subsidize the cost, Garriott jumped on it.
"We ran into him at a friend's wedding," Dial said. "The story was literally happening right then."
After shooting 120 hours of footage, Dial and director Mike Woolf decided the best genre was a feature-length documentary.
Garriott grew up in Clear Lake, home of the Johnson Space Center and one of the film's most poignant moments is when he spies the Coastal Bend from space.
"He could see the Coastal Bend and just looking a little bit to the right could see Africa around the corner," Dial said. "It was a real dizzying moment for him when he realized, 'Wow. It is a small world.'"
"Man on a Mission" will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
The festival itself provides a chance for audiences to see unique films on a big screen, as they were intended.
"I think the Rockport Film Festival is a really wonderful opportunity," Tyndall said. "Just having an opportunity for audiences in South Texas to go out and see films that they might not have access to is wonderful."
What: Rockport Film Festival
Where: Main Street Arts/BAF building, 902 E. Main Street, Rockport.
When: Short films start at 1 p.m. Friday and Saturday with the matinee at 3 p.m. and the feature at 7:30 p.m. Short films will start at 10 p.m. Saturday.
Cost: Tickets to each screening are $10. VIP passes for events are $50.

Amy Richards met Jim McKay as he was getting ready to release his first film, Girls Town, in 1995. McKay was kind (and political) enough to offer his film to the Third Wave Foundation, which Richards cofounded, for a benefit screening. Though Third Wave has had dozens of events since then, none has come close to matching its success, in terms of sheer dollars raised in one sitting (over $20,000), the number of new donors and allies attracted to the organization's work, and the unparalleled visibility that comes when you combine social justice and Hollywood.

Photograph - British Court, Great Hall, Exhibition Building, 1880-1881 Reg. No: MM 107816
- Summary:
- View of the north-eastern corner of the central transept, under the Great Dome, of the British Court in the Great Hall at the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition held at the Exhibition Buildings, Carlton Gardens, between 1 October 1880 and 30 April 1881.
In addition to the main permanent Exhibition Building, two permanent annexes as well as a large, central wooden temporary annexe was constructed to house the courts of various countries, or to include larger items from countries already represented in the main Building.
The main avenue was the central corridor that extended through the temporary annexes, leading northwards from the main permament Exhibition Buildings. Many of the major European countries had their courts situated on the western side of the main avenue, while the eastern side included exhibits from smaller countries and from other Australian colonies. Like many other major European countries, Great Britain had a court in the Great Hall of the main Exhibition Buildings, and a second, larger display area was also allocated in the south-western corner of the main temporary annexe, bordering the French Court. Britain was also represented by exhibits both in the eastern machinery annexe and the specifically devoted British Machinery Annexe which housed displays of agricultural equipment, both on the eastern side of the Carlton Gardens.
A depiction of this photograph, populated with visitors to the Exhibition, was engraved by Frederick Appleton and published in the Illustrated Australia News on 12 February 1881.
This is one of sixty-one photographs in a presentation photograph album titled '1880 Melbourne International Exhibition' presented to Thomas B. Hill. Hill was the Assistant Secretary of the 1880 Melbourne International Exhibition. This leather bound album was given to Hill, and all the Exhibition Commissioners, by the Exhibition Trustees. The photographer is believed to be Ludovico Hart, acting on a private commission from the Exhibition Trustees.
- Description:
- Monochrome, gold-toned, silver gelatin photograph in a black leather bound album with decorative gold tooled border and gold tooled lettering in centre of front cover. Inside, 61 monochrome photographic plates showing exterior and interior views of the 1880 International Exhibition, held at the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne. Each photograph is mounted on heavy buff coloured card and has a simple black line border with a title beneath the photograph.
- Statement Of Significance:
- The Royal Exhibition Building has played an important role in Melbourne's social commercial and sporting life since it was built for the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880. The building's size and scale provide us with a physical example of 'boom-time' Melbourne in 1880. The international exhibitions of the late 1800s provided the fledgling Australian colonies with a forum in which to showcase their progress in commerce and industry to the world. This album is significant for its detailed visual record of the first international exhibition held in Melbourne. It has clear views of the colonial & international courts, as well as specific prominent exhibits. It also provides a contemporary view of the Exhibition Building interior and exterior in the year it was constructed.

Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei said Thursday he was still barred from leaving the country despite the expiry of a one-year bail condition imposed after his release from detention last June.
The outspoken 55-year-old, whose works have been exhibited in scores of countries, spent 81 days in custody last year as police rounded up dissidents amid online calls for Arab Spring-style protests in China.
On his release on June 22, 2011, authorities accused him of tax evasion, took away his passport barred him from leaving Beijing for a year — a restriction that has prevented him from attending his own exhibitions overseas.
On Thursday, Ai told AFP he had received an official order announcing the end of his bail term, but that he was still barred from leaving the country.
"This morning, I went to the police station… My one-year probation is finished, but they said they will still limit my rights to travel," he said. "The order says I cannot travel outside of China."
Ai said he was unsure whether he was now able to leave the capital, but added the order did not specify that he was prohibited from travelling within China.
"They said I'm still under investigation for my other crimes. So I said,'you have to make a case, you can't just say that'."
Ai's detention last year sparked an international outcry, with the United States and the European Union leading calls for his release.
The official Xinhua news agency said after Ai's release that he had "confessed" to tax evasion via the Beijing Fake Cultural Development Ltd., a company he set up but which is legally registered in his wife's name.
He has denied this, denouncing the charges as politically motivated and designed to "crush" his activism.
Ai has previously riled the ruling Communist Party with high-profile investigations into the collapse of schools in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and into a 2010 fire at a Shanghai high-rise that killed dozens of people.
On Wednesday, lawyers for Fake went to court to try and challenge the tax evasion charges and a multi-million-dollar penalty brought against Fake — a hearing blanketed in heavy security that Ai himself was not allowed to attend.
In an indication of how sensitive the case is, other activists reported being restricted or harassed by authorities on Wednesday.
Liu Xiaoyuan, a legal adviser to Ai Weiwei, said Thursday authorities had forced him to leave Beijing and return to his native Jiangxi province, while veteran dissident Hu Jia said he was beaten by state security forces Wednesday.
The hearing lasted more than nine hours, and lawyers said at the end that the court now had until early August to give a ruling.
Ai said Thursday he had asked police what specific "other crimes" he was being investigated for, and they said one of them was putting pornography on the Internet.
The artist told AFP back in November that he was being probed on pornography charges that center on old pictures posted online of him posing with naked women.
At the time, he ridiculed the charges, telling police "nudity is not pornography."
Before his detention, the burly artist traveled extensively, holding exhibitions of his installations, sculptures and photographs in many countries around the world.
The value of his work has shot up since his detention thrust him into the global spotlight, and in October Britain's influential Art Review magazine named him the most powerful figure in the art world.
His latest high-profile piece of work is a pavilion for this year's London Olympics that he helped build with Swiss firm Herzog and de Meuron, with which he had previously collaborated to create Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium.
Ai contributed to designing the pavilion for the Serpentine Gallery in London's Kensington Gardens park, reportedly using Skype to coordinate with the company as he was unable to leave Beijing.

Penne a la vodka
By Tali Simon | February 19, 2013
This recipe and story first appeared in the Feb. 18, 2013 edition of "From Tali's Kitchen," my biweekly cooking column in Binah magazine. On newsstands now!
Purim cooking tends to be all about the hamentaschen, but I think it's more interesting to find ways to incorporate alcohol into cooking and baking. I'm not a drinker (as the story below makes clear), but things like vodka and beer can do wonders to a dish. Like where this is going? Check out my vodka amaretto cake and honey beer bread muffins.
I love Purim. I hate the drinking.
The alcohol part of Purim always seemed like the only blip on the screen of an otherwise perfect day. I'm the type of person who thinks about Purim all year because I can't stop coming up with themes for costumes and mishloach manot, even at times when other people have Pesach, summer vacation, or back-to-school season on the brain.
My husband and I reach a point – still months away from Purim – when we have too many ideas to remember on our own. This necessitates starting an official Purim Google doc to keep notes on potentially-needed costume items and recipes that would work for specific mishloach manot themes. (As you've probably guessed, this is more my thing than his. But he totally plays along.)
Our Purim brainstorming was one of the things that kept my spirits up during those nauseous early months when I was expecting for the first time. If I had thought it was fun to come up with couples costumes for our first two Purims together, it was even better to think of the many adorable ways in which I could dress a family of three. (I'll tell you what we finally chose in a blog post later this week.)
Purim is such an upbeat, happy time that it was never hard for me to find things to like about it. Except for all that drinking!
While I recognize that many (most?) people are sincere in trying to fulfill ad d'lo yada, that doesn't make it any easier to watch. I find it uncomfortable and unsettling to see some yeshiva students, neighbors, and community leaders – people I would generally respect and trust – lose their inhibitions, "get silly," and possibly get sick. And somehow, it passes as acceptable.
Yes, we should be happy on Purim. But who exactly is happy about a drunk guest getting sick in her living room? Who is happy to watch her husband and sons lose control of their normal sensitivities, perhaps in the presence of young children? And does any woman enjoy clearing the remains of the seuda while trying to care for a bunch of sugar-high kids in clown costumes and a husband moaning on the couch?
I suspect that most women whose husbands drink figure they just have to grin and bear it – or if they can't grin, at least put up with it and get through the day. (Of course, I'm sure there are also women who don't mind the drinking, or who genuinely enjoy their husbands' antics. But I'd guess that they're not in the majority.)
My father never got drunk, on Purim or otherwise, and I've never seen my brothers drink, either. As a teen, I hoped that whoever I married would fulfill ad d'lo yada in a way that I wouldn't find scary. (That wasn't on the Top Ten list of qualities I wanted in a husband, but it would probably have made Top Twenty!)
And so far, my husband has earned high marks. On both of the Purim days that have passed since our wedding, he became tipsy – and yes, a bit silly – but not in an unsettling way. The most that came of it was a Purim-themed limerick that he wrote and recited on the spot.
I imagine that many men also fit into the oft-cited category of a "Torah drunk" – the person whose lower inhibitions have him saying divrei Torah more freely, not contributing to a toxic atmosphere. I often view things in black and white, and that kind of thinking had me equating any alcohol consumption with a frightening, drunken stupor. I've learned, though, that drinking does not necessarily make a drunk, and that downing a glass or two (or three…) of wine does not mean the same thing for every person. As with anything in life, you have to know yourself. And you have to be able to trust that your husband knows himself.
Purim's take-away message is often described as a lesson in seeing the Yad Hashem even when it isn't obvious. But for me, Purim has also become a lesson in trusting my husband, recognizing that he knows his limits and will not exceed them.
After all, if the extra wine just means limericks and extra divrei Torah, that's something I can handle.
If you want to include spirits at your Purim table without worrying about how much your guests are drinking, try serving penne a la vodka, a dairy main dish alternative for a lighter seuda.
In this quick and easy recipe, steaming hot pasta is mixed with a creamy tomato-based sauce that uses vodka as its secret ingredient. Don't worry, though – the alcohol cooks off while the sauce simmers, leaving only a subtle flavor that deepens the taste of the sauce.
One year ago: Oriental pepper salad
Yield: 4-6 servings
- 2 small onions, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cups (about 500 grams) prepared marinara sauce
- ¾ cup plus 2 Tbsp vodka
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 lb. (500 grams) penne pasta
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella, plus more to top (optional)
- Chopped fresh basil, to garnish
1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large frying pan and sauté the onion, garlic, and dried basil over low heat until the onion is softened and just starting to brown. Add marinara sauce and cook for 5 minutes.
2. Stir in vodka, heavy cream, and sour cream, and cook for an additional 10 minutes (on low heat the whole time).
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions instruct. Drain and return to the pot. Dump the mozzarella over the pasta, pour the sauce over the top, and stir well.
4. Cover and let sit 5-10 minutes, then transfer everything to a serving bowl and top with fresh basil (and additional cheese, if you like). For best results, serve immediately.

Penne a la vodka looks great for my daughter…
I get so confused in the Israeli dairy refrigerator and supermarket
Could you please give me the l supermarket local brands and flavors you use for marinara sauce, cheese and sour cream. then I'll get right to work. This looks great! Purim sameach!
this is one of my favorite sauces to eat and make! thanks for sharing your recipe
i love vodka sauce, it's great on pizza too!
This is one of my favorite comfort food fishes when I want to indulge a bit.
Such an important and well-said post regarding drinking on Purim. My husband doesn't drink on Purim (he is driving us to the seudah!) and I am so grateful.
The penne looks delicious and I was just thinking about making some!

I'm so tired after work I really cannot muster the energy to even get up off the couch. How do you find energy to do it? I want to do it today, but then again I don't. I know I would feel like I unloaded a huge monkey off my back if I did... but I'm so tired all the time. My hubby is worn out after work because he has a physical job so I hate asking him to do much. I don't know .. I never let my house get like this before Lupus. It was cleaned every week like clockwork.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) — The Bottoms family has been decorating their house on Long Hill Rd. in Midlothian since 1995.
Changes are made each year, but this holiday season there's one important addition.
The Bottoms put up a sign in their yard, which shared the story of 24-year-old Jonathan Bottoms. Last month he was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. It happened near his house, and was caught on camera by Jonathan himself.
"I've looked at it so many times just to see what I did," said Jonathan.
The family didn't know how long he would be in the hospital for, as he suffered a number of internal injuries and broken bones.
The sign placed in the family's yard was a way to collect donations for Jonathan to help out with medical costs and other things since he isn't able to work.
"It's been overwhelming, it's incredible. It just reminds you that there's a lot of people out there that still care," said Jonathan.
Jonathan said he is still taking one day at a time as he recovers, but has a message for those who have helped him along the way.
"I just want to thank everybody for the support. You don't know how much it means to my family," said Jonathan.
The family said they have raised thousands of dollars and the lights will be up until New Year's Day.

If you would like to donate, there is a donation box at the home, located at 14309 Long Hill Rd.

By Tim HippsSpecial to American Forces Press Service
SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 4, 2000 La Tasha Colander-Richardson anchored the U.S. women to victory in the 4x400-meter relay event Sept. 30 to close the ring on the Games for Army wives.
The relay was the last women's event of the Games. An Army spouse, Nancy Johnson, won the first gold medal in Sydney, in the women's 10-meter air rifle match. Quite a coup for a couple of soldiers' wives, eh mates?
"I must say that this is sweet!" beamed Colander-Richardson, who was clocked with Team USA's second-fastest leg of 50.68 seconds after taking the baton and a 12-meter lead from five-medal- winner Marion Jones, who'd blown the race open with a 49.40 third leg.
That sweetness more than compensated for Colander-Richardson's disappointment after failing to advance past the second round of the women's 400 meters.
"I had to let go of the 400," explained Colander-Richardson, 24, a native of Portsmouth, Va., who lives in Angier, N.C., just outside Fort Bragg. "I couldn't dwell on it. I had to get ready for the four-by-four. So I just said to myself: 'Look, that's over. It's time to focus on the four-by-four.'
"I knew we still had an opportunity to go for the gold, so that's what I did. I put all my energy into the four-by-four. So it was a good thing that I just let it go."
La Tasha's husband, 2nd Lt. Roderick Richardson, is a member of Battery B, 1/377th Field Artillery, at Fort Bragg, N.C. She happens to be, as Jones was quick to point out, one of three University of North Carolina Tar Heels on the gold-medal-winning foursome.
Three-time Olympian Jearl Miles-Clark, 34, of Gainesville, Fla., ran the first leg in 51.4 seconds, giving Team USA the early lead. Monique Hennagan, 24, a Tar Heel from Columbia, S.C., barely maintained the lead with another 51.4-second effort.
And then along came Jones, the most famous Tar Heel since Michael Jordan. Nothing, not even Australia's Cathy Freeman, could keep Jones from striking gold on this night -- not after she settled for bronzes in the long jump Sept. 29 and the 4x100- meter relay earlier in the evening.
"When I came off the last curve I felt surprisingly good," Jones said. "I had been really concerned that when I hit that last straightaway that my legs would say: 'No more, baby, no more.' But I brought it on in to La Tasha."
Then the Army wife had her say.
"Jearl positioned us very well on the first leg," she said. "On the second leg, Monique kept us out there in the front. And then, Marion Jones, yeah, the girl Marion Jones -- she controlled it and she kept the lead and she increased the lead. And I saw her coming and I knew that I was going to lay it out on the line. I was going to put it out there and hold it in that last hundred with all the strength I could muster.
"I just kept turning it on, turning it on, turning it on. And I believe that we did an awesome job and it came out phenomenally."

Union bosses in Michigan thought they had pulled off a real coup when they managed to get a measure on the November ballot that would have enshrined their power in the State constitution. Imagine their shock when voters overwhelmingly rejected the amendment.
That was just the beginning of the bad news for the maestros of compulsory unionism. Emboldened by the measure's defeat, Republicans in the state legislature promptly introduced legislation that would make Michigan the 24th "right-to-work" state in the nation.
Union activists called on their supporters to march on the state capital to protest the proposal. Thousands of supporters showed up in Lansing in response. All of them were pretty noisy; a few were actually amusing, including the ones who put up four giant inflatable rats on the Capitol lawn bearing the names of Governor Rick Snyder and three Republican legislators.
But all was definitely not fun and games. A hospitality tent put up by Americans for Prosperity, one of the groups supporting the measure, was attacked by union partisans and torn down. At least one conservative supporter was physically attacked. A street vendor was called an "Uncle Tom" and worse and had his cart trashed for daring to sell hot dogs to the measure's supporters.
But all the protests and threats — including one Democratic legislator who said that if the measure passed "there will be blood" — couldn't prevent a vote from being taken. The legislation passed easily and a few hours later was signed into law by Snyder. The Governor previously had declined to support right-to-work legislation but said he changed his mind when he saw how a similar measure encouraged new jobs in other states.
The week before the vote in Michigan, President Barack Obama flew to the state and tried to rally support for the unions. "What we shouldn't be doing," the president proclaimed, "is trying to take away your rights to bargain for better wages and working conditions."

In addition to head coach John Calipari's post on CoachCal.com about the men's basketball's team grade-point average that I linked in the previous post, Calipari also talks about the team's recruiting as well as breaking the news that his mother, Donna, is battling breast cancer.
Calipari hints in his blog post that UK might not be completely done with the 2010 class.
"We are just about done with our current class and I am so excited to get these young men on campus and begin to show them what it means to be a Kentucky Wildcat," Calipari writes.
Calipari warns fans in his post not to compare the 2010 signing class with the 2009 signees, pointing to last year's early games as a warning to how "enormous" the learning curve can be.
"Coming out of the gate, Maui may be the most difficult challenge any team I have ever coached will have," Calipari says in his blog post. "But we all look forward to the challenge of blending our new players with the returnees and continuing to build on our 35-3, Elite 8 and SEC Championship season."
Calipari also writes about some bad news he and his family have received. His mother, who Calipari credits with giving him his drive and his mindset to "dream big dreams," is battling breast cancer.
The second-year UK coach said he will take some over the next few days to figure out the best course of action for her medical care.
"Right now my family's focus is on getting her the care she needs," Calipari writes. "I hope you understand this will take me away from Lexington and my focus will shift away from basketball and to providing support, help and comfort for my mom. Anyone who has gone through this knows it's devastating for all involved.
"It would mean so much to our family if we could get the prayers and thoughts of the (Big Blue Nation) directed to my mom as she bravely fights her battle with this dreaded disease. I hope you all understand and I thank you for your compassion and well wishes."

The energy deal that Swiss energy utility company EGL signed with Iran last week has triggered criticism both inside and outside the Alpine nation. Outside Switzerland, the most forceful complaints came from the U.S. and Israel–coming as it did barely two weeks after UN Security Council Resolution 1803 was passed, it clearly sent the wrong signal to Tehran. Europeans are not giving due weight to the strategic worries behind the new round of sanctions and prefer to increase their dependence on Iranian energy than add pressure on Tehran.
Inside Switzerland, though, the criticism focused more on the outfit chosen for the occasion by Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey, who was in Tehran to witness the signature alongside her Iranian counterpart, Manuchehr Mottaki. Swiss politicians were outraged by the fact that Calmy-Rey –a longtime advocate of women's rights–chose to wear a veil and appear "submissive." Many of her crticis later recognized she had no choice. This brings up a further question, though: why is submissiveness necessary to deal with Iran?
A look at European energy options might offer an answer: Europe's main natural gas suppliers is Russia. Tehran, with its readiness to welcome foreign energy companies for joint ventures, is an ideal alternative. It sits on the second-biggest known reserves of natural gas in the world and, unlike other Middle Eastern countries, is willing to share profits in exchange for the technology and investments needed to develop its vastly undertapped resources.
Of course, the trade-off–quite apart from the obvious implications for the sanctions' regime and the ability of the West to put pressure on Iran– is that Iran's regime benefits from access to Western technology. But it may be recalled that earlier this year Turkmenistan shut off its gas supply to Tehran–a move that caused severe gas shortages inside Iran in the middle of an unusually harsh winter. Iran, in other words, despite its giant gas fields, is a net importer of gas and is thus vulnerable to external pressure. Selling Iran technology and joining its national gas and oil companies to develop its energy resources will help Iran become a net exporter and will make its regime's economic and political fortune. Deals like the one signed by EGL, in other words, prolong this regime's shelf life and all that comes with it, nuclear ambitions included.
Europe's economic engagement with Iran, especially in light of Russia's stricter oil policies, makes sense. Except for Iran's nuclear program and the spoiling role it plays in just about every crisis Europe wishes to solve in the Middle East. The answer to the above dilemma is long term and demands. For the time being, European temptation by Iranian oil must be understood within this context: Europe is not yet in a strong enough position to forego such deals. In this sense, Swiss politicians were right to call Calmy-Rey's choice of the veil submissive. Submissiveness might be the only option Europe has in this situation, unless Iran's behavior–and its regime–can be changed.

(AP) ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Police say a New York man told them he "just snapped" and killed his girlfriend with his fists and a curling iron while visiting her college dorm last month.
A Monroe County Sheriff's Office report released Wednesday says 21-year-old Clayton Whittemore detailed the killing to an officer on Sept. 29. Whittemore had been arrested earlier that day.
The report says Whittemore said he and 18-year-old Alexandra Kogut got into a shoving match while arguing over "stupid stuff" in her room at the State University of New York College at Brockport. It says he told the officer when her breathing sounded bad he hit her with a curling iron because he loved her and didn't want her to suffer.
The Utica College student pleaded not guilty during his initial court appearance. His murder arraignment is Oct. 25.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- December 9, 2003 -- Last month, the Rhode Island Geriatric Education Center (RIGEC) based at the University of Rhode Island, honored Senator Jack Reed for his strong support of education programs for professionals who provide care for the elderly.
The honor was presented to Sen. Reed during the third in a series of RIGEC workshops on geriatric clinical care, as a full house of long term care administrators, social workers, nurses, pharmacists, physicians and other health care providers applauded the Senator for his leadership.
"Senator Reed has consistently been a strong advocate in Congress for funding the training of health care professionals to better prepare them to work with older adults," said URI Gerontology Professor Phil Clark in presenting the plaque with URI Provost M. Beverly Swan. "We here in Rhode Island have benefited enormously from his leadership in recognizing the importance of providing high quality health care to our older citizens."
Clark, who is the center's director, also said that the senator has a clear understanding of the impact educational support can have on those working with this growing population and that the programs that have been established through this support, like RIGEC, also have become models for other states.
Founded in 1996 with a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, RIGEC is a consortium of the University of Rhode Island Colleges of Nursing,
Pharmacy and Human Science and Services, Rhode Island College School of Social Work, Brown Medical School and Aging 2000. The center was established to improve knowledge and skills in geriatrics and gerontology among health care and human service providers to better serve the needs of a growing elderly population. Since its founding, RIGEC has provided programs for thousands of health care professionals statewide and across the Southern New England Region.
The Rhode Island Geriatric Education Center sponsors many conferences and seminars throughout the year open to professionals and students. The RIGEC can be reached at 401-874-5311.

Branch signs 'Savannah Style' at MSU Florist today
November 29, 2011
MSU alumnus Brandon Branch, design director for Paula Deen Inc., will sign copies of his book "Paula Deen's Savannah Style" today [Nov. 29], from 10 a.m.-noon in the University Florist.
Co-written with Deen, the 224-page interior design book features home decorating tips with a Southern flair. To keep all aspects of the 2010 Simon & Schuster release realistic, they insisted that accompanying photographs be taken during specific seasons of the year.
The 2000 MSU graduate and Tylertown native grew up with a love for gardening and floral design instilled by his grandmother. Those passions led him to the Starkville land-grant institution to pursue a degree in horticulture. (For more, visit www.brandonbranch.com.)

Jumps on the furniture. "Bad Kitty!"
I am a pink tiny Japanese glasses waring neko who lives in Second Life. My friends call me Laser or LaserKitty. Some just call me kitty for short (レーザーキティ). I am just over 7 years old in Second Life. My sexuality is BI but I tend to lean more to men. I am currently a full time family cat for Aijin SamanthaTT Ling and Daddy Lawrance43. She has no rights as a human such as owning Lindens, walking on her two feet, open/close doors, dressing herself, sitting on furniture and extra. She is nothing more than a family animal who is used as such and seen only as such. Her pleasure is to be a dumb animal for its owner(s). She is so useless her hands are pawed and she cannot do anything but paw at the world.
She is a women,of course, but she lost all her human rights and will be used like an animal. There is no social interaction between her and the humans except for an occasional nuzzle, meow, extra. She cannot understand humans and their conversations but she might recognize certain words like a trained animal would.

Somaliland president, Ahmed Mohamed Mahamoud "Silanyo" issued a decree about Kalshaale incident. Kalshaale is a grazing area in Togdheer region where armed clashes between two sub-clans in November last year caused fatalities. Somaliland president declared Kalshaale a military area for Somaliland forces. His government would refund sub-clans for the expenses they incurred to build water-reservoirs at Kalshaale and support solving the dispute in line with recommendations made by a Mediation Committee who met in Maygaagle hamlet several weeks ago. Somaliland president has called for the organised sub-clans to withdraw their militias from Kalshaale, Meygaagle and Hagoogane areas.
A high-level meeting for traditional leaders was convened at Maygaagle hamlet. The outcome of the mediation was accepted by East Burco sub-clan but was rejected by the Buuhoodle sub-clan. Somaliland government said it is committed to implementing the outcome of Mediation Committee judgement but this is another misjudgement in addition to a host of missteps Somaliland government has taken since Water-reservoir disputes have emerged.
The belated intervention of Somaliland in Kalshaale incident shows that president Silanyo is still susceptible to sub-clan pressure and that he has not matured into leader for all the people. During his chairmanship of Somali National Movement (SNM), one of the armed opposition movement against Somalia's former military dictatorship, the idea of restoring parliamentary democracy for the benefit of all Somalis was confined to setting up, exclusive clan-based organisations to replace one type of one-man-rule with one-clan rule, an outlook he shared with leaders of other clan-based opposition movements. The irony is that the man who led an exclusive clan-based organisation is now keen to be recognised as president for clans his policies have excluded.
In March 1991, at he height of post-Siyad Barre pogroms in Mogadishu, president Silanyo, then SNM Central Committee member and ex-officio, wrote A Proposal To SNM under the title On A Framework For A transitional Government In Somalia, " The Somali National Movement and United Somali Congress [USC] and their fighters, the culmination of a long, bitter and bloody struggle against the ruthless tyranny of a tenacious dictatorship" deserve acceptance of " their pre-eminence… and the legitimacy of their present authority recognized." The legitimacy president Silanyo was seeking for SNM and USC is one that, in his eyes, entitles the two clan-based groups the right to nominate half of the ten-member Council of State he proposed in addition to the fact that "all aspects of the administration and government of the respective regions, except those which fall within the domain of the central authorities are otherwise retained by the liberation organizations themselves ."
The proposal the incumbent Somaliland president wrote twenty years ago shows that just as he failed to pay attention to the complex nature of post-Siyad Barre political realities in Somalia but positioned USC and SNM as the sole armed, clan-based organisations to rule Somalia after the end of the military dictatorship, he has taken decision that may undo peaceful co-existence of social groups in what was known as ex-British Somaliland. In May 2011 Silanyo government will mark the twentieth anniversary of unrealised secession by Somali National Movement although the now-defunct group's unamended constitution favoured unity. President Silanyo's 2011 Kalshaale decree and his 1991 proposal have a lot in common. His government acted late and in haste

Several months ago, my staff participated in a health and wellness event in Columbia. Hundreds of active seniors gathered to attend classes and watch cooking and exercise demonstrations to learn more about the importance of proper nutrition and remaining fit.
In the United States, heart disease remains the leading cause of death, but through preventative measures such as eating healthy and staying active, proper nutrition choices along with exercise can help lower your risk for many chronic diseases associated with aging. Additionally, numerous studies have shown how exercise and a healthy diet are directly correlated with improved mobility and a reduced cost of care as you age.
A focus on senior wellness and nutrition is vital to a seniors independent lifestyle. In fact, many medical experts agree that just 30 minutes of exercise each day for five days a week has been proven to significantly reduce your risk for diabetes, lower your cholesterol level, and decrease your chances of developing cardiovascular disease.
Below is a list of simple activities that can have a big impact on your quality of life. Remember to consult your health care advisor before participating in more strenuous methods of exercise.
Join a local walking group. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, and walk in a safe place with adequate lighting.
Work outside. As long as summer temperatures are not overwhelming, gardening or tinkering in your workshop can be a great way to maintain mobility.
Find ways to volunteer. Involvement in your community benefits others, and it also a good way for you to stay active and keep your skills sharp.
Maintain your mental prowess. Reading regularly keeps your mind active and helps improve your memory. Also, games such as crossword puzzles and Sudoku (which are often found in newspapers) are designed to encourage mental stimulation.
Implement healthy eating habits. Eating healthy is a very important aspect of your overall wellbeing. The websites www.eatsmartmovemoresc.org and www.choosemyplate.gov provide great resources for planning healthy meals.
