"Apartheid" is an ugly Dutch word that literally means "separateness." In South Africa, different races were kept apart on ideological grounds. This meant that the majority of people were deprived of citizens' rights in South Africa on the grounds of their race.
Such is currently not the case in Israel, where Arab Israeli citizens have the same rights as Jewish citizens in theory, if not always in practice. The status of Arabs in large areas of the West Bank, however, is different. Although they are effectively controlled by the Israeli state, they do not have the rights of Israeli citizens.
Secretary of State John Kerry did not compare the present state of Israel to South Africa under apartheid. He was merely repeating a warning that many Israelis, including former prime ministers, have issued: There are only two alternatives to building a sovereign Palestinian state, either making permanent Israel's military occupation of parts of the West Bank — depriving Arabs of their rights — or creating one state for Arabs and Jews. This one-state solution will leave two options: Either all citizens of that state will have the same rights, in which case Arab citizens would soon be in the majority, or they will have separate rights based on ethnicity, in which case there will be unambiguous apartheid.

That was interesting. Good for him for doing what he wants in a eco-friendly way. Looks like a fun place to live.
That is so clever! What a great place! Thanks for sharing.
I know everything I WANT to know!
My questions: Did he need to get a Building Permit to build this house? I wonder what City Department
would approve it? More people could afford houses IF they could build it where they wanted to build it...
but most cities, townships and county departments have Rules out the Wazoo...and would not allow anyone to build this. As the saying goes "Not in our jurisdiction!"

It's taken Jeremy Moon about a decade to figure out how a tiny country like New Zealand can improve its economic future, but he thinks he might finally have cracked it.
The founder of outdoor clothing company Icebreaker is wary of sounding like a wanker, but he's done a lot of listening and a lot of thinking over the past 10 years and is justifiably proud of the fact that his 14-year-old company is expected to ring up more than $120 million in sales this year.
Icebreaker is in a rapid growth phase and over the past year alone - in the middle of a global recession - has grown by about 50 per cent. It already has eight subsidiary companies in 30 markets and employs around 200 staff - about a third of whom are Kiwis.
"The role of New Zealand is to create intellectual property and management systems and to retain ownership and profits here, but in my opinion it's not to try and do the things that it doesn't make sense to do," he enthuses.
Icebreaker uses New Zealand merino for its garments "because we are the best wool growers in the world", says Moon. However, it uses a cluster of other companies - including a French wool blender, a German yarn spinner and a Japanese textile house - for other parts of the process, including 1000 staff in Shanghai.
"We do that because that's where the best technology is and it's in the centre of the world."
As he sees it, if you want to compete with the best, you have to be even better, and that also means employing top people - who are not necessarily cheap.
The average age of an Icebreaker employee is 28, and Moon estimates most of his New Zealand staff earn roughly double the New Zealand average wage.
"In Germany we hired the head of North Face for Europe, and in the US we hired the head of sales for adidas, and we've got managers in place and it's their job to be entrepreneurial and to start and run businesses owned by Icebreaker. Meanwhile, you create jobs for New Zealanders offshore by giving them postings, and in New Zealand by getting them to run the head office. That's different from the 'we have to do everything here' mentality."
While Icebreaker is a high-profile example of how New Zealand's clothing industry is adapting to the 21st century, there are other examples of less well-known companies that are also moving with the times. For many, that currently means making as many merino garments as the market can take. But it also means developing a customer-focused strategy - which, for some, is the exact opposite of what they have been doing until now.
When Mosgiel Wool went bust in 1980, Hugh Douglas picked up some of its basic equipment and began making simple knitwear and string vests. These days his Christchurch-based company, Weft Knitting, has some of the most advanced technology in New Zealand, enabling it to produce entire garments almost at the press of a button.
In the old days, staff would make a pattern, take a square of fabric, cut it up, then sew it back together to make a garment. Nowadays, a technician uses a computer to convert a designer's ideas into reality, then plugs the disk into a knitting machine which spits out the final product.
"There's been a quantum leap forward in the way knitted garments are designed and produced," he explains.
Although "whole garment" technology has been around for about a decade, it's only in the past five years that New Zealand knitwear companies have started taking it seriously, says Douglas.
The equipment is expensive - each machine costs about $250,000, and Weft has seven of them. It also needs to send its staff to Japan to be trained. However the investment is worth it, he says, because it reduces labour costs and fabric waste.
This enables Weft to compete against Chinese manufacturers, who have not yet shown much interest in the technology. "We may not enjoy this advantage long term, but for the moment we have it."
Despite the tough economic environment, Weft has a full order book. Its two best known brands are Merino Possum and Bay Road Merinos, which it sells throughout New Zealand. It is also developing an export market in Europe.
"It's not massive but it's a lot bigger than Icebreaker or Karen Walker or Zambesi, or any of the iconic labels."
Douglas gives at least 10 per cent of his profits to local charities - which he mentions only to emphasise why he believes it is important to maintain some sort of local industry.
"A responsible local employer and local manufacturer generally has links with the community and is part of the community, unlike an agent who might be importing knitwear from China who's out there to get as much as he can, and does nothing for the community, and doesn't employ anyone," he notes.
"We also contribute to the infrastructure, through subcontractors, that supports the greater business sector within Christchurch."
Soma President in Hastings is also proud of its community involvement, which has included developing items for teenage cancer charity CanTeen, to providing garments for a group of women who plan to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Commonwealth by leading an expedition to the South Pole.
Owner Harold Trigg says the firm has been asked to do an astonishing variety of work lately, from babywear to merino dog coats. "What we've decided to do is a subtle marketing change. Instead of having a sewing plant and saying 'We can make things for you', we ask people what they want to do and how can we help them get there."
The company was started by Trigg's grandfather at the beginning of the Great Depression, and at its peak in the 1960s it employed about 500 staff. Today it has just 35 employees but Trigg is nevertheless upbeat.
"I'm third generation in that dynasty and we are getting a resurgence in the recession, so I don't know what we're doing but it's quite exciting," he chuckles.
He believes recessions are cleansing. "As economists would say: there's attrition, and the wasting of the weaker members, but then there's something that replaces it, and I think a lot of people are rethinking and rejigging their companies for a new tomorrow."
Aucklander Emily May would agree with that.
May is helping her father, Mike, transform Manukau-based Jaedon Enterprises from a tracksuit-maker to a company that specialises in highly technical industrial clothing.
Four years ago the business lost one of its major contracts and was forced to rethink its future. It now concentrates heavily on fire-retardant garments, used by the likes of electrical workers.
It also makes cyclewear for trendy label Solo and is moving into wet weather gear.
The Department of Labour has helped it with productivity programmes and it is slowly building up its staff again.
Because it still makes its own garments it is able to respond much more quickly and flexibly to what customers want, says May.
"There's a lot of risk involved in bringing in stuff from offshore, particularly in our industry where it's very specialised, because you have to be incredibly reliant on your agents in Hong Kong that what they are supplying is exactly what you need."

From the syllabus:
This is a seminar course for honors students completing their honors thesis requirement. This seminar explores the unique culture of the samurai warrior class from its ancient origins to its transformation under the Tokugawa regime and its demise in modern times. To the West, the enigma of Japan emerges from the samurai honor code that combines seemingly incompatible practices like Zen training and ritual suicide. How could a warrior class exist through centuries of peace by practicing, philosophically, the Way of the Sword? In addition to aspects of samurai warfare and the philosophy of death, we will also study the samurai way of love. Among the primary and secondary material will be samurai legends and tales, the theater of war, and eight samurai films.

International Perspectives on Mental Health
Critical issues across the lifespan
|Publication Date
|December 2011
|Paperback Ebook
Mental distress is not exclusive to any particular group but touches the lives of people in all societies and walks of life; one in four of us will be affected by it in our lifetime. Yet the field of mental health is complex – fraught with differences in understanding and experience, variations in service provision, political agendas and professional discourses.
This wide-ranging book explores a range of themes in the development of mental health policy and practice, in order to promote critical reflection and enhance understanding. Drawing on an international evidence base, it explores the historical, legal and socio-cultural dimensions of mental health, including:
? Anti-discriminatory practice and the ethical tensions posed by legislation, particularly in relation to safeguarding and human rights
? Trends and concerns in the field of child and adolescent mental health
? The gender, ethnicity and age-related dimensions of mental ill-health
? The challenges posed by dual diagnosis and faced by families and carers.
International Perspectives on Mental Health offers a multi-dimensional view of mental health and wellbeing, with the aim of opening up debate and inviting a more holistic conception of the field. It is required reading for students of mental health on professional and academic courses, as well as for practitioners in the health and social care field.

Warm, golden rays of sunshine are enough of an excuse for me to pack my picnic basket and head for the nearest grassy knoll. For those of you who need more legitimate reasons to spread out the picnic blanket, two opportunities are coming up within days of each other: Lag B'Omer on Thursday, May 10 and Mother's Day on Sunday, May 13.
Lag B'Omer is a minor Jewish holiday and elicits different opinions about what it commemorates. But everyone agrees it is a joyful holiday and perfect for menus celebrating spring.
Why not combine both celebrations in one perfect day?
This picnic should not be just another outdoor meal. Make it a special event, a festive occasion that becomes a magical experience of sharing good food in the sunshine and fresh air. Not only does this get Mom out of the kitchen but gets her out of the house as well.
A pita bread banquet is quite fitting as a theme. Pack a good selection of fresh pita breads in all sizes, from minis to maxis, whole grain and white. A variety of tasty fillings to stuff in these sandwich pockets turns them into a meal. Don't forget a robust assortment of Mediterranean olives and a salad of roasted red peppers to nibble on while setting up. To complete the banquet, add fruit, cookies and sparkling cider or light wine.
Ratatouille and Spinach
Serves 12
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small eggplant, diced
1 small red bell pepper, seeded, deveined and diced
4 oz. small cremino mushrooms, quartered
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1⁄2 tsp. dried thyme
1⁄4 cup chopped fresh basil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6 full-size pita breads, cut in half to make 12 pockets
3 cups spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
In a medium skillet, over medium-high heat, heat oil. Sauté onion, garlic, eggplant, pepper and mushrooms until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and thyme, cover, and simmer 8 minutes. Uncover and simmer another 5 minutes. Stir in basil. Let cool and add salt and pepper.
Line pita halves with spinach and fill with ratatouille.
Farmers Salad
Serves 12
2 cups diced red radishes
1 English (hot house) cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
6 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
3 Tbs. plain yogurt
1⁄2 tsp. paprika
2 Tbs. snipped fresh dill
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
6 (6-inch) pita breads, cut in half to make 12 pockets
oak leaf lettuce leaves
In a medium bowl, combine radishes, cucumber and scallions. In a small bowl, combine cottage cheese, yogurt, paprika and dill. Add to vegetables and mix well. Add salt and pepper. Line pita halves with lettuce leaves and fill with farmers salad.
Sweet and Hot Red Pepper Salad
Serves 8
2 lbs. red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and seeded
2 Tbs. olive oil
1 Tbs. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbs. honey
1⁄2 tsp. ground cumin
pinch cayenne
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Cut red peppers into strips and put in a shallow bowl. Combine all the remaining ingredients except parsley and toss with peppers.
Let marinate a few hours or overnight. Sprinkle with parsley.

text: I thought I'd start a new thread as the original purpose of navy SC plus jeans has changed. I wondered what you all thought of the following SC and jeans and cord combinations. Bear in mind the jackets are OTR and pre-alteration (and have labels on still!) so I'm looking for colour critique on the jean combinations most of all. I do think the faded blue jeans are a bit too light for the green donegal jacket, though look good with the blue window pane. Below are indigo Levi 504s. I think these look good at the moment but need to a little fading. The jeans are brand new though, so will they fade a degree within a few washes?

Thunder Obsessed staff got together and we're going to preview all six divisions. Then we're going to vote, pick a conference champ, then a world champion. We'll conclude it all by choosing your award winners. Then at the end of the season we'll see how wrong we were.
As the NBA season gets closer, teams in the Southwest division are beginning their preseason games and deciding who they need to keep on their roster. Right now seems to be one of the strongest divisions in the NBA. They have teams that have proven they can win, with three teams from the division making the playoffs last year. The other teams in the division made good moves over the off season to help them get better going into the season.
Dallas Mavericks
Additions: Monta Ellis, Devin Harris, Jose Calderon, Dejaun Blair, Wayne Ellington, Samuel Dalembert, Ricky Ledo, Shane Larkin (draft).
Losses: OJ Mayo, Anthony Morrow, Chris Kaman, Darren Collison, Mike James, Rodrigue Beaubois.
Expectations: Coming off a season filled with injuries the Mavericks main concern this season should be to keep Dirk Nowitzki healthy. He has been the heart of the Mavericks for many years now and that was very obvious when Dallas struggled during the 29 games he missed last season.
After losing O.J. Mayo in free agency the Mavericks began trying to sign Dwight Howard but instead settled for Monta Ellis, Devin Harris and Jose Calderon. With these additions Dallas has a chance to win enough games to challenge for a low playoff seed in the West but it will be difficult. With Nowitzki getting older, he did not look the same last year. Although he was recovering from an injury, Nowitzki's points per game dropped to 17.3 points per game, dropping a little over five points from his career average of 22.6 points per game. This means that Dallas will need people like Calderon and Ellis to step up and help Nowitzki produce points.
Overall the Mavericks have a solid starting five, which will most likely be Devin Harris or Jose Calderon at point guard, Monta Ellis, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki and Samuel Dalembert. While this is a solid group it will be hard for them to keep up with some of the teams in the Western Conference this year. Overall though if they can stay away from injuries this team has a chance at making the playoffs. After going 41-41 last year the Mavericks seem to have added enough pieces to improve on that record from last year.
The Houston Rockets
Additions: Dwight Howard, Reggie Williams, Omri Casspi, Isaiah Canaan, Robert Covington, Marcus Camby, Ronnie Brewer.
Losses: Thomas Robinson, James Anderson, Tim Ohlbrecht.
Expectations: After making the playoffs last season the Houston Rockets, lead by James Harden, made one of the biggest moves of the off season by picking up Dwight Howard in free agency. This should no doubt help the Rockets improve on their 45 wins last year. If the chemistry is right, Dwight Howard could make a huge difference for this team.
While Howard is not exactly outstanding on offense, the Rockets don't need him to be. With players like James Harden and Chandler Parsons, Houston is more than capable of putting up points just as they showed last season when they averaged 106 points per game. Where they do need help though is defense. Houston was 28th in the NBA in points allowed per game. This is where Howard will help the most. The three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year should give the rockets and big boost on defense that could make this team very dangerous.
While Howard will play a major role in the teams success, the player to watch for this team is James Harden. Harden has gotten better every year he has been in the league and proved to everyone last year that he was more than capable of being the main man for a team. Coming into this season, it will be fun to watch how Harden and Howard work together. After taking a lot of criticism for being a bad teammate last season in Los Angeles, Howard will be the one of the biggest factors for the Rockets this season. Everyone knows Harden will produce and do his job, but the key is to get Howard to buy into things in order to help this team win. If he does this the Rockets have a chance to win a lot of games this season with the pieces they have and could be looking at one of the top four or five seeds in the Western conference.
The New Orleans Pelicans
Additions: Anthony Morrow, Greg Stiemsma, Tyreke Evans, Jeff Withey, Greg Stiemsma, Jrue Holiday, Arinze Onuaku, Lazar Hayward.
Losses: Lou Amundson, Roger Mason Jr., Xavier Henry, Greivis Vasquez, Robin Lopez, Terrel Harris.
Expectations: After only winning 27 games last season, the Pelicans decided it was time for a change. Not only did they change their name from the Hornets to the Pelicans but they decided to make some changes to the roster. After finding a potential centerpiece to build around in Anthony Davis, the Pelicans have now placed a good group of talent around him.
This off season, the Pelicans traded for former Philadelphia 76ers point guard, Jrue Holiday, while also picking up Tyreke Evans in free agency. These pick ups, along with Anthony davis, Eric Gordon and Austin Rivers should help the Pelicans improve on their record from last year. While it will not be easy being in one of the toughest divisions in the NBA, the Pelicans have a chance to make great improvements from last year.
With these added pieces, New Orleans could have a shot at the playoffs. However, this would be a lot to ask of a younger team playing in one of the tougher divisions in the NBA. If Davis can continue to improve along with the other younger players on this team, they could have a good season in which they could contend to make the playoffs as a lower seed.
The Memphis Grizzlies
Additions: Mike Miller, Nick Calathes, Jamaal Franklin, Melvin Ely, Tony Gaffney.
Losses: Austin Daye, Keyon Dooling, Donte Greene, Tony Wroten Jr.
Expectations: After making it to the Western Conference Finals last season, the Memphis Grizzlies are looking to build on last season. While the Grizzlies didn't make a ton of off season moves, they really didn't need to make moves. Going into this season you can expect the Grizzlies to do what they do best which is play defense. Lead by the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Marc Gasol, the Grizzlies, were first in the league in points allowed per game. This should be no different going into this year as Marc Gasol continues to improve.
Memphis will once again have a good chance at winning a lot of games and making a long playoff run. This team will be difficult to beat, especially in a seven game series because of their physical style of play. With a frontcourt that features Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, the Grizzlies are able get a large number of points in the paint and just out rebound other teams which are two key things to winning any basketball game.
While Gasol and Randolph stand out offensively, their starting five is full of players than can step up defensively. Tony Allen and Tayshaun Prince are players that are capable of shutting down a lot of NBA players. When you put all of these pieces together with a good point guard in Mike Conley the Grizzlies should be one of the better teams in the Western Conference while also having a shot at making another long playoff run.
The San Antonio Spurs
Additions: Marco Belinelli, Jeff Pendergraph, Corey Maggette, Myck Kabongo, Sam Young.
Losses: DeJuan Blair, Tracy McGrady, Gary Neal.
Expectations: One rebound was all San Antonio needed late in game six of last season's NBA Finals to walk away with a championship. Going into this season you should expect another big year for the Spurs. Although this is a team that is getting older they still have enough weapons to win a lot of games over the course of the season.
While Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker are getting older they can still produce enough to lead this team. While these guys have been the leaders of the franchise for many years now, the Spurs now have a good group of younger talent around them that is only getting better. Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Tiago Splitter all proved last season that they are good NBA players that are only improving.
With most of their important pieces coming back this year the Spurs are one of the teams to beat in the NBA. Not only do they have a great core, they are probably the most well coached team in the NBA. Under Greg Popovich, the Spurs play better team basketball than just about anyone else. Last year, San Antonio led the NBA in assists per game, which is one of the main factors for their success. While the Spurs might not be the flashiest or most exciting team in the NBA, too many fans expect them to make another long run in the playoffs and to be a championship contender going into the 2014 season.

700R4 stuck in reverse
Ok so this site has been VERY helpful so far but i still cannot track down an answer specific to my problem.
I just bought a very clean 1989 suburban. the guy sold it cheap because he parked it after a drive and upon starting it again it, every gear was reverse.
i looked at the truck the governor was a brand new unit, the TV cable seemed well connected, the fluid was clean and at the right level, the wiring harness was clean and installed, the shift linkage was A-OK, and all in all the tranny seemed to be in good shape.
i started the truck in neutral, it seemed to be in reverse already. i put it in park and stabbed the gas a bit THEN it went into park, otherwise every gear including neutral was reverse.
i am thinking all signs point to a stuck valve in the valve body or a disconnected shift linkage. if thats the case what is the likelyhood that a trans-flush and a filter would help un stick it.
the tranny has around 20,000 miles on it, i'm twenty years old and everything i know about trannys i have learned from this site over the last three days so i'm pretty damn new to this.
I would pull the trans pan for a look see. Check linkage hook up inside the pan.
Since you have little experience with a transmission , I would suggest you find someone with trans knowledge to help.
If the trans shifts in & out of park , I would suspect there is an internal problem causing the 'reverse only ' situation.
Flushing fluid will not help this trans
I know you said the linkage was "a-ok" but I tend to focus on the very simple things first, otherwise I tend to complicate things and end up buying parts I don't need, or paying Mechanics I don't need to.
Did you just see that the linkage was all there.....or did you actually get under it and watch it whole someone else tried to shift it?
Also detach the linkage and see if you can shift it by hand.
Is this a hard lickage or a cable linkage?
Does the trans shift lever move through all the spots or is it frozen in reverse?
I'm a dummy
I should have read you post better....you answered most of what I asked.....need more sleep I guess.
well, i have not dropped the pan yet because i havent had time. i think i could handle checking out the guts inside. on another forum i read that there is a parking linkage and a shift linkage and its not impossible to loose the s clip on it.
the thing is though... once i have it in park, i can shift it back into reverse but its not a crisp "foot on the brake feel it" shift it kinda slowly half assed goes into reverse... leading me to believe my tranny has some sludge action going on.
... oh yeah and the shifter on the column uses no cables that i could see and it clicks where ever the gear should be, just like normal

I thank Fred and Nick for their responses to my question about appending notes.
For the short-term, I would be happy to try Fred's suggestion if only I could figure out how to do it. Having checked the documentation, I can't see how to retrieve the notes from a data set in order to copy them into a new data set. Are they stored in some retrievable variable?
For the long-term, I think it would be useful if -append- retained notes in the using data set, renumbering if necessary, and, if feasible, adding an option to add the source data set to the note.
At 02:25 PM 5/8/2004, Fred Wolfe wrote:
I think there is a possible work-around. As notes are stored as -var[note(n)]:-, one could pull off the notes from each data set prio to the append/merge, compare them and then merge them into the master set according to some rule. I could see how this might be useful.

Oh, you thought we were just all up in Amazon's Kindle on the tweed beat here at Gadget Lab? NOT TRUE. The newest iteration of Barnes & Noble's Nook offered Wi-Fi only before Kindle, dropped its prices before Kindle — and yes, it was jailbroken and rooted a long time ago.
Major advantage to rooting a Nook over jailbreaking a Kindle: because the Nook runs Android, you can use it to run Android apps. Popular Science's gadget blog isn't the first to describe how it's done, but this guide is one of the most readable I've seen — just five steps.
It's all software-based, requiring you to first connect your Nook to your computer via USB, downgrade your firmware to version 1.0, and then install the hacked/rooted version of 1.4, which includes an Android app installer. However, as Nook-rooting experts NookDevs.com note, "Barnes and Noble has likely introduced a new hardware revision which bricks your unit if you install their official 1.0.0 Firmware (A step needed to root). As of right now, Nooks with serial #s starting with 1003 (running firmware 1.4.1) cannot be rooted, and should NOT be attempted." This warning is on top of the usual watch-yourself-you-might-break-something caution whenever you mess around with your devices. Be careful out there.
But let's suppose you do root your Nook and want to install an Android app or two. Where do you start? Kindle for Android, of course — just updated with lots of new features.

Queer Eye for the Quintessential Rockaway Guy
Queer Eye for the Quintessential Rockaway Guy
By Joe McGivney
The following review of a national television show that came to Rockaway was written by Joe McGivney, who often writes about the beach volleyball league for The Wave.
The big news in the Rockaway Beach Volleyball League this week has nothing to do with volleyball and everything to do with five gay guys making over John Sica and his Rockaway house.
That's right, the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" television program met that monumental challenge in March and televised the results nationally last Tuesday night.
Showing a high tolerance for embarrassment, John watched the episode for the first time with his family and friends at a Hollywood style screening at the Kerry Hills Pub. DeNiro and Eastwood could not make it but much of the Sica nation showed up with bells on, along with over one hundred of John's buddies and Shed brothers.
Springsteen couldn't make it either but the Brian Monaghan band performed as well as the Boss ever did for their old friend and colleague. The crowd enjoyed some of Carmel's house specialties, including lasagna, meatballs, ribs, chicken and her famous Shepherd's Pie. The band whipped the crowd into a frenzy right up until the moment of truth at 10:00 PM. Then a hush fell as the episode entitled, "Raising the Stakes" began.
The sight of the Fab Five invading Rockaway brought a roar from the spectators. They summarized their mission, "We've got a poker-playing dad who is ready to walk away from bad hair and bad beer." They set out to bring a little bit of Monte Carlo to the USG – Ultimate Straight Guy. Rita Sica begged for some more class and style in her husband's outfits and grooming, and if it wouldn't be too much trouble, her home, too.
Design Doctor, Thom Filicia led the charge in breaking down the old house, even taking an ax to the woebegone coffee table. Fashion Savant, Carson Kressley joined Rita in tossing out an entire rack of outdated clothing. Jai Rodriguez found a pair of handcuffs in the bedroom and fantasized about sexual adventures only to find that they were real and had no key. That's why he spent the first half of the show attached to a lamp. (Don't ask how.) While the boys were working on the house, Grooming Guru, Kyan Douglas took the patient to the City for a tune-up.
First stop, a beauty salon! Pounds of shaggy hair were cut off and John's beard was trimmed neatly. He received a manicure and a pedicure for the first time in his life, although he was worried about how the card players would react. Then it was off to shop with Carson who picked out several lovely ensembles of sports jackets, seersucker shirts and slacks, substituting his Ocean's Eleven look for John's Beach Homeless style. Designer flip-flops completed the package. Finally, Jai consulted with Celebrity Poker expert Phil Gordon and the folks at Blatt Billiards to upgrade John's poker game. Phil's tips on "tells" and body language might be helpful but the custom-designed, casino-style poker table and personalized poker chips will definitely be a big hit at the monthly tournament. After a tour of the Brooklyn Brewery ("Beer is the official drink of the straight man.") it was time to return home.
Years of unfinished projects had left the house with bad paint, missing doors, old cabinets and dying furniture. Thom noted John appeared to be a great husband and father who, "just sucks at woodwork, painting and decorating" with Rita adding, "and fixing and showering and cleaning." She remembered the time John took a picture of a hole in the wall, framed the picture and hung it over the actual hole in the wall. Now that's decorating! Thom had to use all of his magical powers to transform the old place but he performed a near miracle. Fresh paint, paneling and furniture were blended with great effect while maintaining the laid back feeling everyone wanted. John was particularly smitten by the kitchen drawer handles that doubled as bottle openers – quite an ingenious addition! However, the piece de resistance sat in the dining room – the new poker table.
John headed upstairs to prepare for a poker night to remember. He surprised Kyan by voluntarily shaving off his scraggy beard but he horrified him when he didn't mix his hair conditioner before spreading it throughout his locks. ("There was no emulsification!") Carson was unhappy that he chose to wear flip-flops but otherwise liked his fashion choices. ("I'd do him!") And John fooled Ted Allen by artfully assembling his new Rockaway Club sandwich instead of serving chips and dip but appalled him by using the new drawer handles to open and drink beer after beer. ("Major foul!")
It was now time for Rita and Trish to see the improvements and John walked them right past the new couch, curtains, wall unit, table and artwork to the kitchen to show them the new drawer handles while opening a beer for himself. The Fab Five noted that, "Trish is either excited or she's going to vomit!" when they saw her stunned reaction to her new home. The girls then headed into the City for a night on the town and John readied to greet the rest of the poker players. They shocked him by arriving in designer clothes instead of their usual tee shirt and jeans style. Before he served them the Rockaway Club with beer in glasses he pointed out his favorite upgrade, the twenty new drawer handle bottle openers. The Rockaway boys agreed it was the best change.
It was time for the grand finale, the Texas Hold 'Em Poker game or as Carson likes to describe it, "All the male bonding you'd like without going to Riker's Island. It's a Festival of Manhood." The action was hot and heavy and so was Carson who took a liking to John's nephew Brandon. ("I'd do him!") After much raising and bluffing, John was eliminated and Brandon outlasted the other classy gentlemen to take home the championship. ("Yeah, the hot one won!") The Sica's concluded the evening by toasting and thanking their new friends for a job well done.
So the Fab Five were able to upgrade John Sica's food presentation, his wardrobe, his look, his home and his card game. (He has won the last two games.) However, they could not change everything. John remains in love with his high school sweetheart, Rita, after 24 years of marriage and he continues to live for his three children, Brian, Trish and Mike. Not everything can be made over!
The episode will be repeated many times on the Bravo channel so if you missed it tune in when it is replayed. (i.e. Saturday, 7/10 @12:00 PM and 7:00 PM).

Howard tips boom to follow workplace changes
Page Tools
The economy could grow by a booming 5 per cent a year, but only if the Government's controversial overhaul of workplace relations laws proceeds, John Howard said yesterday.
The Prime Minister used the best job figures in 29 years to promote the proposed changes, selling them as the path to lower unemployment, higher wages and stronger growth.
But the Government continued to stumble over the detail. The chairman of its industrial taskforce said "we just simply don't know" whether Mr Howard's 1996 guarantee that no worker would be worse off under his workplace laws still applied.
The blunder by federal MP and former Liberal Party director Andrew Robb came as Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews confirmed a back-pedal on the blueprint he outlined in May.
Mr Andrews said award-wage workers would be able to keep all their current entitlements, even though the original plan was to cut four conditions long-service leave, paid jury service, termination notice and superannuation from awards.
That shift would let award-wage nurses in Victoria keep their right to 26 weeks' long-service leave, not have it cut to 13 weeks under state law.
"What we are saying is that long-service leave provisions that people have under awards is something that they will keep if that's in excess of the standard," Mr Andrews said.
But his pledge left open the prospect of stripping entitlements from new workers, even if current employees are protected, potentially creating two classes of low-paid workers.
The confusion came as Mr Howard argued that his changes were vital for ongoing growth.
"We are not willing on this side of the house to settle for a growth rate of 1 or 2 per cent," he said. "We want a growth rate of 3, 4 or even 5 per cent in the years ahead, and we can only have that if we have the courage to embrace further reform."
Mr Howard refused to guarantee his plans would not override minimum working conditions being written into state laws by nervous governments.
His refusal came as a teenage girl was awarded back pay by the South Australian Industrial Commission after Baker's Delight paid her 25 per cent below the award wage.
Deanna Renella was paid $8.35 an hour, 25 per cent less than the minimum award entitlement. Mr Howard insisted her plight was due to her Australian Workplace Agreement not being valid because of a technical oversight with filing it with authorities.
But under the proposed workplace relations changes, it will become legal for companies to pay workers less than the award as long as their pay packet does not fall below the basic minimum wage.

Past Event
Rotary Club's Community Barbecue and Barn Dance
- Saturday, September 25, 2010, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Sidney Peak Ranch, Near Routt County Roads 18 and 35, Steamboat Springs
- Not available / $35 - $80
Steamboat Springs When the Boys & Girls Club of Steamboat Springs opened its doors in June 2009, no one expected its membership to be more than 900 children strong just a little more than a year later.
"We're extremely successful in the sense that people need us," club outreach coordinator Traci Day said. "We're helping them become the citizens they want to be."
But Day said the reality is that the club needs community support to continue to grow and provide for its members.
In an effort to invest in those citizens of the future, the Rotary Club of Steamboat Springs chose the club as the beneficiary of this year's Community Barn Dance and Barbecue this weekend.
Event co-chairwoman Ellen Kendall said the Boys & Girls Club was an obvious choice for the fundraiser.
"It was sort of a serendipitous thing when several of us thought it would be a good one," Kendall said. "It suits the Rotary mission because of the child emphasis. Our community as a whole supports families, and we want to do as much as we can to keep families in the community."
The event is from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday at Sidney Peak Ranch. Tickets are $70 for a family in advance and $80 at the door. Single tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door.
"This is now the third year, and we do expect it to be the best ever," Kendall said. "We're really hoping to sell out."
A sellout crowd would mean 500 people milling about the barn in Western wear, eating food provided by Rex's American Grill & Bar or dancing to the foot-stomping beats of local band Sundog, featuring Randy Kelley on the fiddle.
The immense barn, Kendall said, is the perfect venue to supplement the Western theme and allow space for a variety of activities.
To keep the little ones entertained, there will be two bouncy houses, face-painting, carnival games and a Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue truck for children to climb on.
For adults, the price of admission covers dinner and one drink, and there will be a cash bar.
In addition, Kendall said the most lucrative part of the fundraiser is the raffle, which allows participants the chance to win any of 11 premier prizes. The lowest valued prize is an $800 package featuring dinners at several Steamboat restaurants.
Other packages include a ski package with equipment and passes; fly-fishing equipment and guiding; a vintage cruiser bike; advertising; and a getaway to Anchorage and Seward, Alaska, that includes airfare.
Raffle tickets are $10 for one, $25 for three and $100 for 15. Raffle tickets can be entered for any of the packages, and you can enter more than one in each drawing.
"You could win something with just one ticket, potentially," Kendall said.
Kendall attended her first Rotary barn dance last year and said it was "a blast."
"My favorite part was just the environment of it being so community-oriented with all kinds of different people," she said. "It's different than the usual cocktail party and silent auction."

The Mets defeated the Dodgers by the score of 6-3 tonight at Citi Field. This was a nice win for the Mets as they responded to 1 run deficits on 3 different occasions tonight. After falling behind 1-0 after a half inning, Jose Reyes hit his 4th triple of the year and scored on a Carlos Beltran SAC fly to knot the game at 1-1. Then after the Dodgers recaptured the lead in the Top of the 2nd, Ike Davis responded with a Solo HR, his 7th of the year to tie the score at 2-2. The turning point of the game however came in the Bot of the 6th. With the Mets trailing 3-2 and Carlos Beltran on 2nd base (2B), Dodgers manager Don Mattingly decided to intentionally walk Ike Davis to face Jason Pridie. After falling behind 0-1, Pridie got a fastball belt high and drove it over the RF wall for a 3-run HR, putting the Mets ahead for good 5-3.
Game Notes:
-Andre Ethier extended his hitting streak to 30 games with a single in the Top of the 1st (3-5).
-Jose Reyes recorded his 4th and 5th triples of the year, leading all ML hitters (3-4, 2 3B, 2B, 2 R, 1 SB).
-Mets pinch hitters are only 7-62 this season.
-Jason Bay was 2-4 with an RBI tonight.
-Carlos Beltran now has 12 doubles on the year, tops in the NL.
-Francisco Rodriguez has not had a 1-2-3 inning all year.
Jon Niese was solid tonight. He got into trouble with his pitch count early as he threw 31 1st inning pitches. Niese was able to settle down however and gave the Mets 5.2 IP of 3 run ball (116 P) to keep them in the ball game. The Bullpen was very good once again. Ryota Igarashi, Taylor Buccholz, Jason Isringhausen, and Francisco Rodriguez combined to pitch 3.1 innings of scoreless ball. What can you say about Jose Reyes? He is absolutely the catalyst of this team and is making it very difficult for Sandy Alderson and Co. to consider trading him. If he continues playing the way he has, it will be inexcusable for the Mets not to give him a contract extension.
Jason Pridie was the star of tonight's game. His 3-run HR was as clutch a hit the Mets have had all season (maybe D-Murph's in Washington was bigger). He has been very good since taking the place of Angel Pagan in CF, hitting to a tune of .250, 3 HR, and 8 RBI. When Pagan comes back, the Mets will have a very tough decision to make with Jason Pridie.
The Mets and Dodgers will continue their 3 game series tomorrow night at Citi Field. Game time is 7:10 PM.

Dump List
The Perfect Dump -- Every once in a while, each of us experiences a perfect dump, it's rare, but a thing of beauty in all respects. You sit down expecting the worst, but what you get is a smooth sliding, fartless masterpiece that breaks the water with the splashless grace of an expert diver. But that's not the end of it. You use some toilet tissue only to find that it was totally unnecessary. It makes you feel that all is right with the world and you are in perfect harmony with it.
The Beer Dump -- Talk about nasty dumps. Depending on the dumper's tolerance, the beer dump is the end result of too many beers. it could have been 2 or 22, it doesn't matter. What you get is a sinister, lengthy, noisy dump accompanied by a malevolent fog that could close a bathroom for days.
The Chili Dump - Hot when it goes in, and rocket fuel when it leaves. The chili dump stays with you all day, making your tush feel like a heat shield.
The Cable Dump -- Long, curly and perfectly formed like 2 feet of E13 telephone CO-axial cable. It loops lazily around the bowl, like a friendly serpent. You wonder admiringly, ''DID I DO THAT? Where did it come from?'' you leave the bathroom pleased with yourself.
The Latrine Dump -- In case you didn't know, a latrine is a hole in the ground with a tent around it where soldiers, boy scouts and flies go to dump. Tip: Don't ever, ever look in the hole.
The Mona Lisa Dump -- This is the masterpiece of dumps. It's as perfectly formed as it can be. Delicate and slender with intricacies that would make da Vinci weep. And just think, you made it yourself. You may even want to break out the Polaroid, but maybe that's going a bit too far.
The Empty Roll Dump - You're done...you reach for the toilet paper only to discover that empty cardboard cylinder. A mild panic begins coldly in your throat. You could use the curtains...no, someone would say ''Where are the curtains?'' Then what would you say? The rug?...too cumbersome. Then you must come to the same conclusion that every ''empty roll dumper'' must face...Pull up your slacks, tighten your tush and wriggle yourself to the nearest full roll.
The Splash-Back Dump - You send the dump on its way, it drops like a depth charge into the bowl creating a column of cold bowl water that washes your bottom with a startlingly unpleasant shock. Now you're wet and embarrassed. Tip: Blot instead of wiping.
The Aborted Dump - You are in mid-dump when the phone rings. What do you do? ABORT! Pinch it off, go for the phone, and save the rest for later. It isn't pretty, but you've gotta do what you gotta do.
The Alfresco Dump -- Everyone has had to go outdoors from time to time. This can be a rather pleasant experience really. The open air, the nature, and a good bush all contribute to the peaceful ambiance that our primitive forefathers must have enjoyed. What can screw up this harmonious interlude is a troop of Brownies or a patch of poison ivy. The Childbirth Dump -- This is a dump that is simply too big to go through the aperture provided by nature for the purpose. You sit there, thinking over your dilemma. First it hurts, and it isn't going to get any better. You wonder if you'll ever see your loved ones again. You imagine the newspaper headlines screaming ''Man dies trying to hatch monster loaf.'' You realize you'll have to resolve the crisis before you can leave the bathroom. Basically there are only three things you can do: Scream, call an Obstetrician, or just hope like hell have enough Vaseline to get you through it.
The Tijuana Trot Dump -- The phrase ''Shit Happens'' really applies here in a big way. When the ice in your tainted margarita makes contact with your lower intestinal tract, the fun begins. For the next 72 hours you'd be better off if you carried your own portable toilet with you because you will spend most of that time on the pot and the rest of the time in a fetal position. Now you realize why Mexico never had a navy.
The Machine Gun Dump -- You're just sitting there in a state of sublime peace when all of a sudden you emit a group of noisy gassy bursts that break the silence like machine gun fire. The guy in the next stall hits the floor like a combat veteran, cradling his umbrella like an M16 and shrieking something about damn Commies.
The Sound Effect Dump -- You feel a noisy one coming on. Relatives, friends or work mates are within earshot, so you must employ some clever techniques to cover the disgusting sounds you are about to emit. Timing is obviously very important here. At the precise moment of release, try the following sound effects: flush the toilet, sing the first two stanzas of your national anthem, or drop a handful of quarters on the floor
The Security Dump -- You have enough on your mind when you're in the bathroom without worrying about a lockless door and someone bursting in to find you in mid-dump mode. So how can you prevent this embarrassing spectacle from taking place? One way is to strategically place your foot against the door. If you can't reach to do this... hum loudly. The Cling-On Dump -- For the most part you've completed your dump, but there's one little morsel that refuses to drop off. You're getting impatient. Someone else wants to use your stall. So, you grip the seat with both hands and wriggle, twist and pump but that last little stubborn piece just hangs there, suspended, clinging like a canned peach between you and the bowl water. Maybe the person pounding impatiently on the door has scissors. The Houdini Dump -- You go, then you stand up to flush, and the darn thing has disappeared. Where'd it go? Did it creep down the pipe? Did you dream the whole thing? Is it lurking out of sight? Should you wipe...maybe you should just to make sure you went. Should you flush? You'd better, because if you don't, you know it will reappear and smile at the next person who comes in.
The Flu Dump -- You feel so bad that you don't know which end of you to put down first. You have roaring cramps, so you sit down. Then a wave of nausea rolls over you like a cold fog, so you stand up and cramps squeeze your intestines like a vice so you sit down again...up down up down. Don't you wish Mom were close by?
The Porta-Pottie Dump -- Construction workers and outdoor concert goers will tell you about going in a portable toilet. My best description would be, It's like taking a shit in an upright coffin. It's claustrophobic and it smells bad... best advice... go in a paper cup.
The Proctologist Dump -- In the beginning, the Lord created the earth, the sky and the firmament, but I hope he didn't create this dump, because there is nothing biblical about it -- you run out of gas. That's right, you run out of propulsion. The dump is right there at the end of your barrel and refuses to go any further. You grunt, you squeeze, you wriggle but it just stays there like a lump of lead. You've only got two choices here. One is to squeeze the damn thing back up your intestine and wait until next time. The other is to pretend you're a proctologist and go after it yourself. Not a pretty picture is it??
The Whole Roll Dump -- No matter how much you wipe, it doesn't seem to be enough. You blow the whole roll and you have to flush 25 times too. The whole episode is consumer waste.
The Graffiti Dump -- You flush the dump and the swirling motion of the receding bowl water forces the dump to the porcelain sides, scraping a creative squiggle on its way down. You flush again but the curlicue hangs there...love it or leave it. Its your choice. The Encore Dump - Ahhhh, you're done, so you wipe, put yourself together, wash your hands and are about to vacate the bathroom when you feel another dump coming. You have to return for a curtain call. The world's record is seven encores.
The Born Again Dump - This is a dump that's going so badly, you say Lord, if I live through this, I'll take up religion. You always get through it, but seldom keep the promise you made in desperation, because a born again dump is like childbirth... you forget the pain quickly.

WASHINGTON – American jobs. Economic recovery. National security. Three "buzz terms" often used to describe the benefits of a prolific energy outlook for our nation. But are they real? Do they carry the weight we so often subscribe to them? The fact is-they absolutely do.
The start of the new year has marked a historical moment in America's newfound energy outlook. For the first time in recent history, an American state has surpassed an OPEC member nation in oil output. North Dakota, a state blessed with vast oil and gas reserves like the Bakken Shale, increased production by 42 percent to an output of 510,000 barrels a day in November-surpassing Ecuador's November output by 10,000 barrels. Job growth? At the close of 2011, America's energy industry had one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. The current unemployment in Williston-North Dakota's oil capital-is less than 1 percent. According to a report by IHS CERA, the shale gas industry alone supported more than 600,000 jobs across the nation. No longer just talking points for the campaign trail; these are the real and tangible realities of America's energy future.
And despite the clear and overwhelming evidence about the powerful economic and energy security impact that America's independent oil and natural gas producers continue to have, detractors remain. Nonetheless, the Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) is working tirelessly to ensure that facts – not hyperbole – serve as the foundation of our dialogue:
IPAA President and CEO Barry Russell:
- Call Off Federal Overreach for Success: America's natural gas industry has quite a future – as long as it's not impeded by politically motivated forces. The administration must make its campaign rhetoric a reality and call off its massive federal overreach. If states remain empowered to continue their responsible regulation of hydraulic fracturing, natural gas will certainly power America's future. (National Journal, 1/18/12)
IPAA Vice President of Economics & International Affairs Frederick Lawrence:
- America and the global energy supply: America has notably reduced its dependence on imports (net imports fell from 57 percent in 2008 to 45 percent in November 2011) and in addition significantly increased its domestic production (adding 1.2m barrels per day between October 2008 and October 2011) with the help of independent producers and shale and other sources. So America is buying considerably less of its oil than it used to from unsavory producers. However, petroleum imports from the Persian Gulf still account for almost 15 percent of our total imports (1.8m bpd) and as you noted, oil is a "globally traded commodity", so ripples in Europe or Asia from interruptions in Iraqi, Egyptian, Libyan, or Iranian crude do ultimately lap our shore and dampen our market recovery. (The Economist, 1/14/12)
- America out of touch with geopolitical realities of oil: Venezuela crude is just as sour and heavy and so are the politics behind moves to expropriate US and European private sector assets and withdraw from the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. While Venezuelan rule of law continues to wane, US energy policy continues to neglect our country's economic health and national security. US domestic supplies grow apace but, given the rising risks of geopolitics in today's market, we should be a bit more attuned to the realities of supply, demand, jobs and allies in picking our importers. (Financial Times, 1/20/12)
And it appears our voices are being heard. While at many a crossroads the current administration has put up roadblocks to development for our independent producers, a recent report from the White House, "Investing in America: Building an Economy That Lasts," sheds a glimmer of hope that perhaps our message is finally clear: Developing our nation's domestic oil and gas reserves provides real benefits to our nation and our citizens. And further, the President's Job Council called for a common sense, "all-in" plan for American energy. The Oil & Gas Journal reports:
- "As a nation, we need to take advantage of all our natural resources in order to spur economic growth, create new jobs, and reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil," the report said. … This president is committed to an 'all-of-the-above' approach in our energy development, which means increasing production here at home, a focus on natural gas and its importance for our energy future, as well as investments in clean energy," White House Press Sec. Jay Carney said during his Jan. 17 daily briefing. He noted that the US Department of Interior's Dec. 14, 2011, offshore lease sale covered more than 21 million unleased Gulf of Mexico acres, while an onshore lease sale in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska offered more than 140,000 acres. "The point of this is that we're absolutely committed to increasing domestic oil and gas production, but to do it in a safe and responsible way," Carney said.
Our independent producers had to overcome tremendous hurdles to raise our nation out of an economic downturn, catalyze job growth, and produce energy at historical levels. As states like North Dakota are clearing their hurdles, other regions of the country are just running up to theirs. In the Gulf Coast, producers are still fighting to increase production as lower offshore permitting has cost Americans not only around the coast, but across the country. Onshore, we continue to fight for state regulation for the safe and responsible development of our onshore natural gas reserves. But a good review from the White House is heartening to hear, however unexpected it may be.
As the Wall Street Journal editorialized this week, "To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the White House has favorably mentioned the Marcellus Shale, the natural gas reservoir below Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other Northeastern states. And now he's taking credit for this soaring production."
While the President may take the credit, our independent producers stand ready at the mark to deliver the domestic energy our nation needs today and for decades to come.
