What does fairness mean to you?
Original post made by Just Curious, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jul 28, 2009
We often hear, "Life's not fair..."
But if that is true, what motivates us to want things to be that way?
Can things ever truly be fair?
If it isn't important, why aspire to it. If it is, how can it be achieved for all?

The short answer...
"Fairness" to Conservatives is an equal "opportunity" to achieve the American Dream.
"Fairness" to Liberals is equal "rewards" or "outcomes" regardless of how much effort the individual has put into their work. If you extrapolate the Democrats' definition, a society that is truly "fair" in their minds where everyone (except the dictators) is treated the same, it is North Korea.

Law Student,
What? I don't understand your post.
Exactly what "bait" did I leave and exactly what did I "switch" it with?
I asked an honest question because I am "just curious" at what others perspectives are.
Ignoring the Town Forum Troll (aka Cholo), Hank took it down a political route, but there is also other perspectives and I am interested in all of them.
My question stands. From what I've read in your other posts, I'd truly be interested in what your thoughts are if you are willing to consider it.
Thanks! :)

O.K. I got it!
With the political climate and tone in the forums, FAIR would equate to what Liberals live for and demand as cited by the conservatives.
I expected the type of reply that Hank gave and more of that.
Keep in mind, that I do not consider myself to be one way or the other, most of the time, for the matter of investigation, evaluation and hypothesis of political jargon.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Close vote bodes well for Alomar
Close vote bodes well for Alomar
Second baseman Roberto Alomar may have missed election by just eight votes in his initial crack at the Hall of Fame, but he has come so close that it carries the whiff of inevitability. Jim Palmer, an iconic Oriole who had a front-row seat for Alomar's prime in Baltimore, said he thinks that the 12-time All-Star will eventually be enshrined with the best of the best.
"I always thought Robbie was one of the most complete ballplayers I ever saw as a player or a broadcaster," Palmer said. "For him to get that kind of percentage bodes well for him. He deserves it, and he's a Hall of Fame type player."
Alomar certainly forged that opinion the old-fashioned way, by dominating his peers for more than a decade. Alomar won four Silver Sluggers and 10 Gold Gloves over his career, and he finished in the top 10 of the league's Most Valuable Player balloting five times. Alomar went to 12 All-Star Games in a row and won two World Series titles with the Blue Jays.
Now, he has another distinction. Alomar was named on 397 ballots, the most of any first-year player who didn't earn election.
"I guess the good news is he got a lot of votes. And the bad news is he didn't get in," said B.J. Surhoff, who played with Alomar on the Orioles in the late 1990s. "You can look at it two different ways, but it's a shame he didn't get in. Robbie had a great career, and I think his numbers at second base match up with anybody who's played the position."
And for Palmer, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1990, the indications were all there from the beginning. The right-hander can remember broadcasting one of Alomar's early games and putting him in an imaginary pecking order.
"I had played with Davey Johnson, who had won some Gold Gloves and had come up as a shortstop," said Palmer, who now calls games for the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network. "And I played with Bobby Grich, who was a terrific second baseman and won four Gold Gloves. Nobody went to his right as good as Bobby. ... I had a chance to see a lot of good second basemen, but when I saw Alomar, I went, 'Wait a minute.' He looked like Baryshnikov. Grich was so good, but he played at an even higher level."
Alomar began his career in San Diego, but he didn't really take off until he was traded to Toronto before the '91 season. There, he starred for one of the best teams of his generation and batted .300 four times in five years. Alomar became a free agent after the '95 season and came to Baltimore, where he teamed up with Cal Ripken Jr., Brady Anderson, Rafael Palmeiro and Surhoff.

The Orioles went to the playoffs in '96 and '97, and Surhoff said his chief memories of Alomar include a late-season home run against Toronto that clinched the team's playoff berth in '96 and a starring performance against Cleveland in the American League Division Series. Bottom line, he said, was that Alomar was a really good player and a really good teammate.
"I got along with Robbie very well, and he was a really good player," said Surhoff, the top overall selection in the 1985 First-Year Player Draft. "He grew up in the game, and he was around the game his whole life. He could do a lot of things that a lot of other people couldn't do. Robbie had good range; he had fantastic hands. He was a switch-hitter with power, he could bunt, he could beat you in a lot of different ways. He was an extremely multidimensional player who had great instincts on the field."
Alomar was an All-Star for all three of his seasons in Baltimore, and he also won two Gold Gloves and a Silver Slugger. Chris Hoiles, the catcher on those teams, said Alomar distinguished himself beyond his stat-line.
"He just found a way to beat you," Hoiles said. "Robbie could do everything and do it well. Good fielder, could hit for average, could hit for power, used the whole field. Just one of those special-type players who, to me, could do everything. He could play small ball. He was a very good bunter. He could bunt for hits. He could just do everything very, very well."
Alomar went on to star on a great Cleveland team after leaving Baltimore and then played short stints with the Mets, White Sox and D-backs before retiring on the eve of the 2005 season. The switch-hitter finished with a .300 batting average and 2,724 hits, and he also hit 210 home runs and stole 474 bases over the course of his 17-year career.
"I got to see him in Baltimore, and until you get to see a player on an everyday basis, it's not the same," Palmer said. "Robbie did see things that other players really only wished they could see. He used to drive Davey Johnson crazy, because Brady Anderson would get on and then Robbie would bunt. So I talked to his dad about it last year, and he said, 'It comes from our baseball background. If you get the lead, you win a lot more games than you lose.' And Robbie could do anything. He could steal a base. He could hit a home run. He could beat you with his glove. He was one of the better pound-for-pound players that I ever saw play."

I installed this cover in 20 minutes. First real use was in 15 degree weather. The cover functioned better than expected, folded easily and went back to unfolded position with no issues. I couldn't imagine doing that with my previous rollup cover. On the Titan it does make use of the track to install.

Yes, they are unique to LoR. You are also right: they make a big difference. I think one of the most important things about them is that they are relatively cheap and can give you just the little bit of edge you need in smaller wars without throwing the game's balance out of whack.
Also, to anyone who was put off of LoR because of its limited scope, it does add a pretty impressive amount of Byzantine-specific content, including events and new objectives, which make them more engaging to play than you might expect. I think they could've made it more appealing if the new music and unit packs had been part of the DLC to emphasize that it's really a boon for fans of the Byzantine Empire.
It seem's that you are correct:
That kinds of sucks, I thought Paradox's policy was that all general gameplay updates would be free patches. This kind of seems a bit counter to that?
Also, I tend to play characters from Western Europe, will retinues add much to that kind of gameplay? Or is it more interesting for the Eastern factions?
Retinues are more for larger kingdoms. There's a retinue cap which is somehow calculated based on realm size and one of the military technologies (not sure how it actually works, TBH), so Dukes and even lesser kings aren't going to have access to them, at least not without improving their tech levels. Once/if you have access to them, you pay a relatively modest fee (45-120 gold, depending on what type of troops you want) and the retinue starts forming in your capital. It will cost you income to reinforce the retinue, but once full (one retinue holds 500 total troops) it will be free. You can adjust the reinforcement rate to slow them down and save income if you want, but I don't think it actually lowers the total cost of reinforcement.
If you are leading a large Empire, you can actually have a pretty decent, completely free army made entirely out of retinues to form the backbone of your forces. They can be merged with standard armies and do everything you want an army to do, so they can really make a difference at times, though I don't feel they are imbalanced in the least.
However, I agree that they shouldn't have been included in the DLC. It seems to me that Paradox doubted whether anyone would want a DLC that is essentially nothing but improvements to the Byzantines and cut retinues from the patch to push the add-on. I really like how Legacy of Rome fleshes out the Byzantine Empire, but I think they would've been better off to be honest about what it was and lump the Unit Pack and Music Track with it to make it clear that the content was for fans of the Byzantines.
Thanks for that. I guess I'll hold off until I can pick up the DLC in a sale. Byzantines aren't really my thing so I doubt I'll get much from it apart from the retinue system. Oh well, another month or two of updates and polish can't hurt.
Probably a good idea. I picked up the DLC (and unit and music packs) because I'm the kind of guy who wants EVERYTHING for games I like, despite not having much of an opinion one way or the other about the Byzantines. I will say that you should not play as the Byzantines until/unless you get the DLC, as there is enough stuff in it to make them different enough to enjoy (you can castrate and blind people, for instance) despite not really changing the mechanics much. I think they may actually be my favorite culture to play now based on this DLC.
I got lucky, and my Russian/Byzantine Empire game survived the upgrade pretty well. Just had to switch a holding type so that I could mend the Great Schism. Other than that, it went smoothly. Hopefully it'll survive this one too because who knows if I'll finish that game anytime soon. Really excited for Republics though.

Steven Bochco has been associated with a glittering array of ensemble dramas, but the producer's latest doesn't so much raise the bar on courtroom series as gently limbo under it.
Steven Bochco has been associated with a glittering array of ensemble dramas, but the producer's latest doesn't so much raise the bar on courtroom series as gently limbo under it. Focusing on young criminal lawyers whose personal lives are hopelessly intertwined, "Raising the Bar" drifts into "And Justice for All" territory, with its sinister, over-the-top D.A. and hanging judge practically salivating to throw the book at sympathetic (and even innocent) defendants. The case for the show improves over subsequent episodes, but the premiere delivers a weak opening statement.
The premise of ambitious but idealistic young legal eagles battling blind and uncaring justice certainly dovetails with TNT's preference for meat-and-potatoes dramas. It's just that the well-trodden formula can't help but feel a trifle musty. Bochco has for the most part assembled a solid cast that boasts several "NYPD Blue" alums, including Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Jerry Kellerman, a principled public defender, and Currie Graham as the sneering, win-at-all-costs D.A. Kellerman's colleagues share info, prop each other up emotionally and blow off steam drinking together. Among them are prosecutors Michelle (Melissa Sagemiller) and Marcus (J. August Richards), judicial clerk Charlie (played by Jonathan Scarfe, whose extracurricular life begins to get complicated in episode two) and defense attorney Richard (Teddy Sears). They're a uniformly decent bunch, even in the face of a system that generally isn't. It's with the grownups, as it were, that the show bogs down. Gloria Reuben has little to do initially as the chief public defender, but Graham's D.A. and shoot-first judge Trudy Kessler (Jane Kaczmarek) come off as such irredeemable hard-liners as to border on caricature. Utterly unconcerned about ruining lives, as one of the attorneys states, they care only about two things: bad press and having decisions reversed on appeal. Series co-creator David Feige spent a dozen years as a public defender, and we'll take him at his word that such behavior and personalities are more common than the average person might expect. The problem is that even accepting that reality doesn't make the characters' antics in the pilot (directed by Jesse Bochco, the showrunner's son) more convincing or their lack of nuance less conspicuous. Mercifully, the excesses are toned down in subsequent hours, and the lawyers' profiles gradually grow richer and more interesting, aided by the arrival of a married colleague (Natalia Cigliuti) who catches Kellerman's eye. But there's no escaping a nagging sense that the series springs from a well-worn playbook — in keeping with TNT's reasonably successful strategy to deliver retro dramas ("Saving Grace" is a notable exception) that wouldn't have looked out of place in 1985. Not incidentally, that was the year before the premiere of "L.A. Law," a Bochco classic that set the bar for all future courtroom dramas. And if "Raising the Bar" can't meet those lofty expectations, well, as the show's lawyers might testify, nobody said life's fair.Raising the Bar

This is strange. Our friend Charles Lindsey took a series of photos tonight of the moon, and noticed this strange moving object in the sky.
Here's what Charles had to say about what he saw….
This is a series of 11 shots I took over a 4 minute period of the moon tonight at around 7:30pm. I took the first shot and thought the dot was a star or planet, and started talking more shots and noticed the dot was moving. I ended up taking 11 pictures total and stacked all 11 in photoshop. Attached is the results of the dots movement over the 4min period..anyone know what it could be??
Interesting. Thanks for the photo(s).
Anybody else see this thing, or do you know what it could be?

Minami Kuribayashi - Blue Tears (Haruka Version) Minami Kuribayashi - Rumbling Hearts (Twin-vo Version) Minami Kuribayashi - Kaze no Yukue (PS2 Version) Minami Kuribayashi - Yours (DC Version) Your best bet is to get them from someone else via p2p programs, IRC, FTP, or chat programs...googling is not very effective in this case |

Ok here's a tough one for you guys:
The song is classical, and I believe has a female latin chorus. The song is played multiple times during the movie Platoon (which I watched today), and I also believe it (or a VERY similar clone) is in the PC game Homeworld. It sounds really cool (to me) and is like...hmm holy and peaceful but with an underlying theme of destruction. Yes that's how I would describe it |

The solid, plump, firm-skinned eggplant is one of the handsomest and tastiest vegetables available. Ever since the Moors brought this purple fruit to the Mediterranean region sometime during the Middle Ages, folks in Italy and France (as well as people throughout the Middle East) have been whipping up delicious eggplant dishes. Here are a few of my favorites:
Eggplant Salad Supreme
Broil a good-sized, unpeeled eggplant under a low flame for 20 to 30 minutes, turning it often. When the vegetable is soft, remove its skin (which will slip right off) and mash the "meat" into a pulp. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of salad oil and 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Season the mixture to taste with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and onion salt. Serve the finished dish cold on lettuce leaves for a salad that's just as delicious as it is unusual.
Hearty Eggplant Parmingiana
Peel 1 large eggplant (or use 2 small ones) and cut the fruit into 1/2-inch slices. Dip each piece in beaten egg and then in flour, brown 'em in heated oil, and let the cooked vegetable drain well on brown paper.
When that's done, place a layer of eggplant in a deep casserole and cover it with tomato sauce. (You'll need about 2 cups of tomato sauce in all, or you can use a No. 303 can of prepared meatless spaghetti sauce with mushrooms.) Sprinkle the surface with Parmesan cheese and "top-layer" it with thinly sliced mozzarella. Repeat this sequence until all the eggplant is used, finishing off with the mozzarella. Bake the parmigiana in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes and serve it hot. This exceptionally tasty treat will satisfy five or six hungry people.
Eggplant With Oysters
Here's a special dish for "special company" which can be served either as a vegetable or as the main course.
Halve a two-pound eggplant lengthwise and scoop out the center, leaving a wall about 1/2 inch thick. Chop up the scooped-out sections and saute 'em with 1/2 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of minced onion, 1 clove of minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of minced celery until the onion is golden brown.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 pint of drained and chopped oysters, 1 cup of soft bread crumbs, 1 /4 cup of minced parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. Stir this combination into the cooked ingredients. Spoon the mixture into the eggplant shells, place 'em in a buttered heatproof dish, and bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. These elegant eggplant "boats" will serve six people.
Aubergine Continental
This superlative eggplant extravaganza from France is served cold as an hors d'oeuvre, and in Italy is used as an equally unusual and delicious hot vegetable side dish.
First boil or bake an eggplant. While it's cooking, chop 1 onion, 1 seeded green pepper, and 1 tomato into very fine pieces. Add 1 thinly sliced zucchini and 1 clove of minced garlic. Heat up 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the mixture until its ingredients are limp and tender. When the eggplant is done, peel it, chop it very fine, and add it to the skillet. Flavor with 2 tablespoons of red wine, a little oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well, stir in half a can of tomato paste, and—finally—simmer the mouthwaterin' delight for 45 minutes.
You can serve this dish hot, or chill the delicacy and offer it as a dip with crackers or potato chips. Either way, your guests will love it!
Exquisite Eggplant Provençale
Wash and peel a firm eggplant, cut it into 1/2-inch slices, and season the chunks with salt, pepper, and a dash of paprika. Then sprinkle a mixture of finely chopped parsley, garlic, and bread crumbs over the vegetable. Place the slices—with a thin coat of olive oil on top—on a lightly greased pie pan and broil the dish until it's lightly browned and tender.
While the eggplant is cooking, cut a couple of medium-sized tomatoes in half, season 'em with salt and pepper, and sprinkle some of the parsley/garlic/breadcrumb mixture on top. Dot the fruit halves with butter, place 'em on another lightly greased pie plate or baking pan, and grill 'em slowly in the oven until lightly browned.
When serving, arrange the tomato halves on top of the eggplant and you'll produce a treat that's handsome enough to grace any table!
Extraordinary Eggplant Meatloaf
And finally, here's an eggplant tip that turns an ordinary meat loaf into something special indeed! Simply use your favorite recipe, but alternate layers of the ground beef mixture with slices of raw eggplant. Bake the loaf for the usual time, then sit back and soak in the rave reviews!
EDITOR'S NOTE: Three of MOTHER EARTH NEWS' recipe taster/testers "had at" Beatrice's eggplant delights with the following results:
Both the Parmiglana and Continental dishes got top ratings, and the latter was reported to be delicious when added to pinto beans, too. Ms Levin's Salad Supreme recipe was also well received, although our tester noted that the color of the finished product was an unappetizing (to some) "okra" green. (The vegetarians in the crowd loved it, but several less adventurous folks declined a chance to taste the dish.) The Provençale was also popular, especially when the eggplant was cooked until tender before the other ingredients were placed on top. And Beatrice's Eggplant With Oysters was reported to have a pleasing poultry-dressing-like texture and a flavor especially agreeable to seafood fans.

New Band Alert – Heartist Playing Tricky Falls With BlessTheFall
This is going to be a great show! BlessTheFall, Silverstein, The Amity Affliction, Secrets and Heartist are going to be bringing their brand of metal core and rock to the Sun City. Plus, Heartist is one of my new favorite bands of 2014. If you haven't heard of this band before now, you're ears are in for a metalcore treat!
The station sometimes gets samplers from different record labels, like "Heavy Holidays" we got from Roadrunner Records. I saw some bands with singles that I already enjoyed, like Trivium, Dream Theater and The Amity Affliction so I decided to go ahead and grab one for myself. That's when I first heard Heartist.
Heartist is a great mix of both metalcore and the rock genres. The band started in 2011 with guitarists Tim Koch and Jonathan Gaytan along with drummer Matt Marquez, well known for his work in Grammy nominated Norma Jean. After, the duo were looking for lead vocals and found Bryce Beckley through Myspace. Bryce convinced his fellow Gamestop employee Evan Ranallo to join. The band waited 18 months, perfecting their blend of heavy guitars with Bryce's outstanding vocal range.
Their Ep, "Nothing You Don't Deserve" is available on iTunes right now and I highly recommend picking it up. You won't be disappointed. The band will be joining BessTheFall at Tricky Falls on April 8th. Doors open at 6 PM with the show starting at 8 PM. Tickets are available through HoldMyTicket.com. You can check out more at Heartist's Facebook page, Twitter, and their website Heartistband.com .
Learn more about Heartist in this article from their home of Orange County.
Here is their video for their song, "Where Did I Go Wrong?"

New Zealand's agreement to take 150 refugees from Australian detention centres has been savaged by Australian refugee advocates.
The deal was announced after talks in Queenstown this morning between Key and his Australian counterpart Julia Gillard, who echoed his statement that Australia's "boat people" problem was a "truly regional challenge".
Key said the deal is acknowledgement that New Zealand should share the burden.
"From New Zealand's point of view we rely very heavily on the work Australia does on the ground and the places these boats are coming from. So yup - we can try and freeload on that process if we like but I think as a regional partner it makes sense for us to not be duplicate those resources... but in the end take some people through their system."
"Australia expends a lot of effort in detecting and disrupting people smuggling ventures and prosecuting people smugglers. This is trans-national crime and we take a very rigorous approach."
Australian Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has attacked the agreement, saying "this isn't a regional solution; this is a bandaid cover-up for Julia Gillard for what a failure Manus Island and Nauru have been".
"This just shows what a failure Manus Island and Nauru have been," she told reporters in Canberra.
"It's not going to save lives, in fact it is going to put more lives at risk.
"More people will be taking dangerous boat journeys as a result of less people being resettled directly (from Malaysia and Indonesia)."
Under the deal New Zealand will resettle 150 asylum seekers a year from Australia's refugee processing system.
The new arrangements start from next year and could include refugees processed through offshore centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea.
Key said New Zealand's annual intake of 750 refugees would nto change, but some would now be processed through Australia, rather than the United Nations High Commission on Refugees.
Senator Hanson-Young said instead of resettling refugees from Australia, both countries should instead beef up their ability to assess claims in Malaysia and Indonesia: "and resettle people directly from those places in much larger numbers".
"Why wait for someone to take a dangerous boat journey, only then to consider whether they are a genuine refugee and be assessed and then resettled?" she said.
"This whole process forces people to take dangerous boat journeys rather than dealing with the bottleneck further up the line."
A lone protester greeted Key and Gillard when they later laid a wreath at the Queenstown War Memorial.
The protester, who was from Queenstown, held up a sign calling on Australia to close its offshore processing centre in Nauru.
She said New Zealand should not have done the refugee deal with Australia.
Gillard and Key were ushered to their cars and did not approach the woman.
The Refugee Action Coalition said the agreement with New Zealand was "a pointless deal, a regional non-solution".
"Asylum seekers are still going to have to get on boats and get to Australia before they have any hope of protection," spokesman Ian Rintoul said in a statement.
"Rather than offload refugees to another Pacific neighbour, the Gillard government should be upholding its obligation to asylum seekers to protect and process them in Australia."
Gillard and Key also confirmed joint legislation giving trans-Tasman regulatory bodies the power to cap mobile roaming and data rates for trans-Tasman travellers.
Gillard said it was a practical demonstration of cooperation under the Closer Economic Relationship agreement between the two countries, which this year celebrates its 30th anniversary.
"A million Australians come to New Zealand every year. They bring with them their mobile phones. Many of them are on holiday so they do the kinds of things that people do on holidays. They take a photo and try and send it back to people at home...ring up friends and family at home.
At the moment that can cause extraordinary charges many of which people wouldn't be aware of till they get back home... get their next mobile phone bill and get a rude shock when they do."
It was possible to be charged $40 to send a picture, and $8.50 a minute to chat to friends and family back home, Gillard said.
"It isn't just a problem for Australians in New Zealand on holiday..it's obviously a problem for business people too who are routinely travelling between the two countries."
In a joint communique, the two leaders also announced further investigation into measures to pursue student debt on each side of the Tasman and Australia announced plans to invest more in Smart Gate technology to speed up border checks for travellers.
New Zealand is also set to receive an Australian war memorial for the 2015 Anzac centenary, according to Gillard's office.
The A$5 million (NZ$6,170,174) memorial will be erected in Wellington's National War Memorial park precinct, which is being developed by the New Zealand government in time for the commemorations.
Designed by Australian architectural firm Tonkin Zulaikha Greer, the monument will feature 15 columns made of red sandstone and surrounded by eucalypt trees.
"The memorial will commemorate the shared efforts of both countries in both war and peace, and will complement the Australia-New Zealand Memorial opened on Canberra's Anzac Parade in 2001," a statement from Ms Gillard's office said.
"Interpretative material on the columns will address the shared Anzac wartime experience, but the memorial will also commemorate our shared experience of indigenous history, settlement, immigration, culture and other links."

Starboard Says Darden's Red Lobster Spinoff 'Bad Idea'
Beth JinksStarboard Value LP Chief Executive Officer Jeff Smith said his activist fund continues to fight Darden Restaurants Inc.'s plan to separate its Red Lobster chain instead of pursuing real-estate divestments.
Darden's plan to spin off Red Lobster is "just a bad idea" that would create an underperforming stock and deprive the parent company of almost half of its real estate, Smith said today at the Active-Passive Investor Summit in New York. He reiterated Starboard's proposal that Darden instead slash operating costs and unlock value in its real estate via a sale or real-estate investment trust transaction.
"They actually have the worst of both worlds," Smith said. "They have the conglomerate's lack of focus and they have higher costs than the rest of the industry."
Starboard is asking Darden shareholders to vote for a special meeting over the company's plans.
Starboard disclosed a stake in Darden in December, joining Barington Capital Group LP in saying that the company's proposal to separate Red Lobster is inadequate for investors. Starboard, which owns 5.5 percent of the casual-dining company, estimates that Darden's real-estate holdings are worth about $4 billion.
Recent Targets
Starboard was founded in March 2011 through a spinoff from Cowen Group's Ramius LLC. The firm continues the small-cap activist strategy developed by Smith and Mark Mitchell since 2002 and Peter Feld since 2005 -- buying stakes in companies they call undervalued and pushing executives and directors for changes such as unit spin-offs and asset sales.
Starboard recently targeted Aaron's Inc., a furnishing and appliance supplier, and Emulex Corp., which sells chips that help computer servers and storage networks transfer data.
New York-based Starboard has previously pushed for changes at retailer Office Depot Inc., pork producer Smithfield Foods Inc. and Internet company AOL Inc., among others. The firm recently negotiated board seats at companies including LSB Industries Inc. and DSP Group Inc., and sought directorships at Triquint Semiconductor Inc. and Wausau Paper Corp.
Activist investors tend to buy at least 5 percent of a company's stock and flag their intention to actively engage corporate executives and directors by disclosing their holding in a 13D filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

A California psychologist invented a bra for your butt, for that Kim Kardashian behind.
-Faye Brennan
Have a flat butt, or just wish yours was more like Kim Kardashian's? Then you're going to love The Biniki ($29.95, biniki-fashions.com), the new device that adds a lift to your derriere.
Invented by psychologist Dr. Karin Hart from California, The Biniki does for your butt what a push-up bra does for your chest – adjustable support bands fit snugly underneath your bum and are held in place by a strap that goes around your waist. Everything is lifted upwards, creating a fuller backside, a la J. Lo or Beyonce.
Read Three Tips for a Beyonce Butt
"Biniki is capable of emphasizing smaller, flatter derrieres," says Dr. Hart, "enhancing the silhouette with or without clothes, and bringing a new sense of confidence about how one looks in back. People with small or flat bottoms benefit greatly from this shape wear."
The Biniki comes in a thong version (called The Throng) as well as a style just for men, called the Maniki. So now, you and your guy can have the butts you've always wanted, no implants necessary! (Daily Mail)

One comment on "Classic tom yum soup with chicken and shrimp"
I purchased $40 worth of ingredients and followed this recipe step by step. What I got was a pot the color and consistency of dirty dish water which looked NOTHING like the picture. I would love to know HOW you are able to achieve the rich yellow color and thickness using chicken broth (already light in color and texture) and adding 400ml coconut milk that would make it lighter and not any thicker. This was VERY disappointing!! I threw it all away. What a waste.

With less than a month to go before "The Avengers" debuts, Marvel is busy getting the word out about their comic book adaptation, as nothing but box office dominance can be acceptable to the comic book studio now owned by the Mouse House. With "Iron Man 3" and "Thor 2" already set to arrive in 2013, Marvel just announced that "Captain America 2" will unsurprisingly take one of their 2014 release dates they have preemptively scheduled last year. Should "The Avengers" tank, those plans would be put into serious jeopardy, so after releasing a Scarlett Johansson-centric preview clip earlier this week, Marvel has unveiled looks at Captain America (Chris Evans) and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).
The word "cheap" is often cynically thrown around on message boards and comment pages when it comes to writer/director Joss Whedon's look for "The Avengers." Sure, the shack Ruffalo enters in the movie's trailer does look exactly like something built on a soundstage rather than a legitimate building in whatever South American country it is supposed to be in, and yes, every room on the S.H.I.E.L.D. base or helicarrier looks a little dull and gray. Still, avid fans of the Marvel comic book may be willing to overlook a few things and forgive others, but what is tough for anyone to swallow is Captain America's new costume. Shown in one of Marvel's new stills (see a more close-up version of the costume's intertwining layers here), Cap's latest look may be closer to the way Jack Kirby drew him in the comics, but is far too close to the cartoon-ish outfit Matt Salinger wore in the 1990 "Captain America" to be acceptable. Did Whedon forget about the USO montage sequence from "Captain America: The First Avenger" where director Joe Johnston cinematically asked the audience: "Aren't you glad Cap isn't wearing his traditional comic book outfit?"
Well, we were, but now he is, and it makes it hard to defend "The Avengers" from those that are already finding it cool to bash on it.
Looking considerably better is the Hulk, as a new still shows that Whedon's SFX crew has indeed tried to make the motion-captured character look like Ruffalo. Besides Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), the Hulk has been given the shortest shrift in the promotional materials, and has been altogether neglected in the previously released "Avengers" photos. We get it, the effects crew were given the lionshare of the budget, while the costume department were given a ride to a Halloween costume outlet. So it goes.
Speaking of Cap's outfit, more of it can be seen in a new, one-minute TV spot, which focuses largely on Cap's leadership abilities as he tries to lead the Avengers against Loki (Tom Hiddleston). In quick doses, and from far enough away, Cap's costume doesn't look half bad. [MTV/Comic Book Movie]

If you like "A Christmas Story" you should read some other books by Jean Shepard. He weaves the tale of the average American in the late 40s and early 50s. He is a master of the short story and had a radio show based out of Chicago for many years. Those shows are now available on CD. His presentation of American life is classic. Seriously, if you want a good book to read beside the stove, grab one of his. They are in the library. Lisa

Fernie Fire Rescue gets kids hopping for a cause
Fernie Fire Rescue paid a visit to Bright Beginnings Preschool to raise money with a Hop-a-Thon.
With help from the community, Fernie Fire Rescue has been raising money for Muscular Dystrophy.
Support from Park Place Lodge Pub and The Northern resulted in just under $500 raised during March with the Buck for Luck campaign. In April, the staff and children at Bright Beginnings Preschool held a Hop-a-Thon, raising just under $700.
Fernie Fire Rescue, along with their pal Sparky and Muscular Dystrophy Canada, would like to thank everyone for helping them set a new record.

Class::Meta::Type - Data type validation and accessor building.
package MyApp::TypeDef; use strict; use Class::Meta::Type; use IO::Socket; my $type = Class::Meta::Type->add( key => 'io_socket', desc => 'IO::Socket object', name => 'IO::Socket Object' );
This class stores the various data types us ed by Class::Meta
. It manages all aspects of data type validation and method creation. New data types can be added to Class::Meta::Type by means of the add()
constructor. This is useful for creating custom types for your Class::Meta-built classes.
Note:This class manages the most advanced features of Class::Meta
. Before deciding to create your own accessor closures as described in add(), you should have a thorough working knowledge of how Class::Meta works, and have studied the add() method carefully. Simple data type definitions such as that shown in the SYNOPSIS, on the other hand, are encouraged.
my $type = Class::Meta::Type->new($key);
Returns the data type definition for an existing data type. The definition will be looked up by the $key
argument. Use add()
to specify new types. If no data type exists for a given key, but Class::Meta->for_key
returns a Class::Meta::Class object for that key, then new()
will implicitly call add()
to create add a new type corresponding to that class. This makes it easy to use any Class::Meta class as a data type.
Other data types can be added by means of the add()
constructor, or by simply use
ing one or more of the following modules:
Read the documentation for the individual modules for details on their data types.
my $type = Class::Meta::Type->add( key => 'io_socket', name => 'IO::Socket Object', desc => 'IO::Socket object' );
Creates a new data type definition and stores it for future use. Use this constructor to add new data types to meet the needs of your class. The named parameter arguments are:
Required. The key with which the data type can be looked up in the future via a call to new()
. Note that the key will be used case-insensitively, so "foo", "Foo", and "FOO" are equivalent, and the key must be unique.
Required. The name of the data type. This should be formatted for display purposes, and indeed, Class::Meta will often use it in its own exceptions.
Optional. Specifies how to validate the value of an attribute of this type. The check parameter can be specified in any of the following ways:
The existing value for the attribute is stored under the attribute name.
The name of the package to which the attribute is being assigned.
If the new value is not the proper value for your custom data type, the code reference should throw an exception. Here's an example; it's the code reference used by "string" data type, which you can add to Class::Meta::Type simply by using Class::Meta::Types::String:
check => sub { my $value = shift; return unless defined $value && ref $value; require Carp; our @CARP_NOT = qw(Class::Meta::Attribute); Carp::croak("Value '$value' is not a valid string"); }
Here's another example. This code reference might be used to make sure that a new value is always greater than the existing value.
check => sub { my ($new_val, $obj, $attr) = @_; # Just return if the new value is greater than the old value. return if defined $new_val && $new_val > $_[1]->{$_[2]->get_name}; require Carp; our @CARP_NOT = qw(Class::Meta::Attribute); Carp::croak("Value '$new_val' is not greater than '$old_val'"); }
to generate the validation checks. If you'd like to specify an alternative class validation code generator, pass one to the class_validation_generator()
class method. Or pass in a code reference or array reference of code reference as just described to use your own validator once.Note that if the check
parameter is not specified, there will never be any validation of your custom data type. And yes, there may be times when you want this -- The default "scalar" and "boolean" data types, for example, have no checks.
Optional. This parameter specifies the accessor builder for attributes of this type. The builder
parameter can be any of the following values:
The string 'default' uses Class::Meta::Type's default accessor building code, provided by Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder. This is the default value, of course.
The string 'default' uses Class::Meta::Type's affordance accessor building code, provided by Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder::Affordance. Affordance accessors provide two accessors for an attribute, a get_*
accessor and a set_*
mutator. See Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder::Affordance for more information.
The string 'default' uses Class::Meta::Type's semi-affordance accessor building code, provided by Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder::SemiAffordance. Semi-affordance accessors differ from affordance accessors in that they do not prepend get_
to the accessor. So for an attribute "foo", the accessor would be named foo()
and the mutator named set_foo()
. See Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder::SemiAffordance for more information.
Pass in the name of a package that contains the functions build()
, build_attr_get()
, and build_attr_set()
. These functions will be used to create the necessary accessors for an attribute. See Custom Accessor Building for details on creating your own accessor builders.
my $default_builder = Class::Meta::Type->default_builder; Class::Meta::Type->default_builder($default_builder);
Get or set the default builder class attribute. The value can be any one of the values specified for the builder
parameter to add(). The value set in this attribute will be used for the builder
parameter to to add() when none is explicitly passed. Defaults to "default".
my $gen = Class::Meta::Type->class_validation_generator; Class::Meta::Type->class_validation_generator( sub { my ($pkg, $name) = @_; return sub { die "'$pkg' is not a valid $name" unless UNIVERSAL::isa($pkg, $name); }; });
Gets or sets a code reference that will be used to generate the validation checks for class data types. That is to say, it will be used when a string is passed to the checks
parameter to <add()> to generate the validation checking code for data types that are objects. By default, it will generate a validation checker like this:
sub { my $value = shift; return if UNIVERSAL::isa($value, 'IO::Socket') require Carp; our @CARP_NOT = qw(Class::Meta::Attribute); Carp::croak("Value '$value' is not a IO::Socket object"); };
But if you'd like to specify an alternate validation check generator--perhaps you'd like to throw exception objects rather than use Carp--just pass a code reference to this class method. The code reference should expect two arguments: the data type value to be validated, and the string passed via the checks
parameter to add()
. It should return a code reference or array of code references that validate the value. For example, you might want to do something like this to throw exception objects:
use Exception::Class('MyException'); Class::Meta::Type->class_validation_generator( sub { my ($pkg, $type) = @_; return [ sub { my ($value, $object, $attr) = @_; MyException->throw("Value '$value' is not a valid $type") unless UNIVERSAL::isa($value, $pkg); } ]; });
But if the default object data type validator is good enough for you, don't worry about it.
my $key = $type->key;
Returns the key name for the type.
my $name = $type->name;
Returns the type name.
my $checks = $type->check; my @checks = $type->check;
Returns an array reference or list of the data type validation code references for the data type.
This is a protected method, designed to be called only by the Class::Meta::Attribute class or a subclass of Class::Meta::Attribute. It creates accessors for the class that the Class::Meta::Attribute object is a part of by calling out to the build()
method of the accessor builder class.
Although you should never call this method directly, subclasses of Class::Meta::Type may need to override its behavior.
This is a protected method, designed to be called only by the Class::Meta::Attribute class or a subclass of Class::Meta::Attribute. It returns a reference to the attribute set accessor (mutator) created by the call to build()
, and usable as an indirect attribute accessor by the Class::Meta::Attribute set()
Although you should never call this method directly, subclasses of Class::Meta::Type may need to override its behavior.
This is a protected method, designed to be called only by the Class::Meta::Attribute class or a subclass of Class::Meta::Attribute. It returns a reference to the attribute get accessor created by the call to build()
, and usable as an indirect attribute accessor by the Class::Meta::Attribute get()
Although you should never call this method directly, subclasses of Class::Meta::Type may need to override its behavior.
Creating custom data types can be as simple as calling add()
and passing in the name of a class for the check
parameter. This is especially useful when you just need to create attributes that contain objects of a particular type, and you're happy with the accessors that Class::Meta will create for you. For example, if you needed a data type for a DateTime object, you can set it up--complete with validation of the data type, like this:
my $type = Class::Meta::Type->add( key => 'datetime', check => 'DateTime', desc => 'DateTime object', name => 'DateTime Object' );
From then on, you can create attributes of the type "datetime" without any further work. If you wanted to use affordance accessors, you'd simply add the requisite builder
my $type = Class::Meta::Type->add( key => 'datetime', check => 'DateTime', builder => 'affordance', desc => 'DateTime object', name => 'DateTime Object' );
The same goes for using semi-affordance accessors.
Other than that, adding other data types is really a matter of the judicious use of the check
parameter. Ultimately, all attributes are scalar values. Whether they adhere to a particular data type depends entirely on the validation code references passed via check
. For example, if you wanted to create a "range" attribute with only the allowed values 1-5, you could do it like this:
my $range_chk = sub { my $value = shift; die "Value is not a number" unless $value =~ /^[1..5]$/; }; my $type = Class::Meta::Type->add( key => 'range', check => $range_chk, desc => 'Pick a number between 1 and 5', name => 'Range (1-5)' );
Of course, the above value validator will throw an exception with the line number from which die
is called. Even better is to use Carp to throw an error with the file and line number of the client code:
my $range_chk = sub { my $value = shift; return if $value =~ /^[1..5]$/; require Carp; our @CARP_NOT = qw(Class::Meta::Attribute); Carp::croak("Value is not a number"); };
The our @CARP_NOT
line prevents the context from being thrown from within Class::Meta::Attribute, which is useful if you make use of that class' set()
Class::Meta also allows you to craft your own accessors. Perhaps you'd prefer to use a StudlyCaps affordance accessor standard. In that case, you'll need to create your own module that builds accessors. I recommend that you study Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder and Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder::Affordance before taking on creating your own.
Custom accessor building modules must have three functions.
The build()
function creates and installs the actual accessor methods in a class. It should expect the following arguments:
sub build { my ($class, $attribute, $create, @checks) = @_; # ... }
These are:
The name of the class into which the accessors are to be installed.
A Class::Meta::Attribute object representing the attribute for which accessors are to be created. Use it to determine what types of accessors to create (read-only, write-only, or read/write, class or object), and to add checks for required constraints and accessibility (if the attribute is private, trusted, or protected).
The value of the create
parameter passed to Class::Meta::Attribute when the attribute object was created. Use this argument to determine what type of accessor(s) to create. See Class::Meta::Attribute for the possible values for this argument.
A list of one or more data type validation code references. Use these in any accessors that set attribute values to check that the new value has a valid value.
See Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder for example attribute creation functions.
The build_attr_get()
and build_attr_set()
functions take a single argument, a Class::Meta::Attribute object, and return code references that either represent the corresponding methods, or that call the appropriate accessor methods to get and set an attribute, respectively. The code references will be used by Class::Meta::Attribute's get()
and set()
methods to get and set attribute values. Again, see Class::Meta::AccessorBuilder for examples before creating your own.

Alvin Thomas was born December 28, 1935 to the parents of Ralton Thomas and Angel Jackson in Opelousas, Louisiana whom both preceded him in death. Alvin was Angel's only child and the first of Ralton's 13 children. As a young child he developed a love for flying, driving and bowling. While still a child he moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and at the age of 19 he joined the United States Army. Alvin was an active member of the military until 1962.
Alvin met the great love of his life Annette Lathan in 1957 and soon married on February 15, 1958. They lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where they had 3 children. In 1962 they moved to Los Angeles, California where they had their last child. He worked in Aircraft manufacturing industry for 23 years. In his spare time he enjoyed bowling where he won several tournaments and awards. Recreationally he loved to fly airplanes and would take his son and nephew to fly with him on the weekends. Alvin also had a love for games, his favorites being pool and dominos where he let his competitive spirit shine. Alvin became an entrepreneur in 1987 forming his own business Alvin Thomas Trucking where he owned and operated his own trucking line with his wife for 17 years. After retiring in 2004 he moved his family to Houston, Texas where he rekindled his love for bowling. Alvin was soon invited to the Senior Bowling Professional League but turned it down to spend quality time with his family. He worked part time for Avis Rental Services as a car transporter until the month of his death.
Alvin was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother and uncle to many. He had an overwhelming love for his family and close friends. He was a loyal and trusted confidant as well as extremely supportive to all who looked up to him. Alvin was active, social and outgoing up to the last 2 weeks of his life, his strength and determination was admirable to many and he will be truly missed.
Alvin is preceded in death by his brothers Floyd Thomas and James Thomas. He leaves to mourn his memory his wife of 56 years Annette Thomas of Houston, TX; his four children Alvin Thomas Jr., Dedera (Darryl) Jackson, Jennifer (Kenneth) Law of Southern California and Michelle Thomas of Houston, TX. Alvin also leaves his
grandchildren Shanel Hunter, Shante Thomas, Alisha Gregory, Donte Thomas, Lathan Jackson, and Kalah Williams; 2 great grandchildren Kae'lah Daniels and De'arie Thomas and one grand-dog Boomer.

Which is essentially what Warren Buffett claimed he would like to do in the New York Times this week. Big Daddy B did a ring-round of his mega-rich mates and discovered - shock, horror! - that they were all getting off rather lightly. Well, Buffett and co: cough up. And when you have done your bit for the US deficit, how about helping us with ours?
Currently, there is a two-tier system. The world's most affluent determine where up to 85 per cent of their earnings go, while we ordinary taxpayers often pour a much larger chunk of our cash into the communal pot.
Yet we still applaud plush philanthropists. Their names go on plaques and they get their ta-dah! moment on the No-Longer-Secret Millionaire when they publicly reveal that they have done one good deed. Meanwhile, the humble taxpayer who doesn't siphon off money to the missus in Monaco gets no credit at all.
But paying extra tax is more charitable than philanthropy because you don't get to decide who the "deserving" are. I've never considered Prince Edward a particularly good use of my cash, but since the majority still back the monarchy, that's not my decision to make. What is strange is that those rolling in lucre seem to think they should make that call, when I would guess that Camila Batmanghelidjh would be the best judge.
Rather than the current debate about whether the 50 per cent tax rate actually brings in more revenues to Britain, we need to encourage a whole new attitude to state levies. Paying tax should be a badge of honour. After all, being able to at all makes you a member of the Jammy Club: you have income to tax. If you qualify for the top rate, you are in the Jammiest Club of them all.
Just to show that my money is where my mouth is, I have overpaid tax. When I worked during my degree, I ignored HMRC's pleading letters to refund me. I wanted to contribute.
In both World Wars, generous Brits bought pathetically yielding bonds to bolster the war effort. These are still listed in the Financial Times, although the cash has been heavily eroded by inflation. That's the spirit we need -philanthropy beginning with the public purse.
Millionaires: your country needs YOU.
Welsh lessons for the Met
On Friday evening, I went to see the Peckham peace wall. Patrolling the streets around Rye Lane were the Welsh police, the "Heddlu". Theirs appeared to be a "hearts and minds" mission: every officer had a perma-grin, they already knew the names of local shopkeepers and I witnessed one be remarkably charming to a woman who was ranting at him.
Perhaps the Met could learn a little something from the approach of their provincial colleagues.
The anonymous bile-writers lurking deep in the internet
In a recent article in the New Statesman, the ever-amusing Robert Webb told of his fight with the internet's "green Biro brigade". When he wrote a column for the Daily Telegraph, he found that every week "the great Lego cathedral of my self-esteem would be booted in by a tag-team of spiteful old men".
I too have had my share of gasp-inducingly vile comments. The woman who requested that one of her Twitter followers cut off my fingers. Or the man who asked me in response to what I thought was a fairly light-hearted piece about weddings: "Were you abused by a male relative as a child?" No Frank from Home Counties, but it's nice that you think we can share these things.
The internet has opened up debate. But through its offer of anonymity, that debate has been hijacked and the bile-spewers - typing away manically in their dingy dens - are commanding too loud a voice.
Bring home the genius of McQueen
Alexander McQueen grew up in Stratford. He honed his tailoring skills at Anderson & Sheppard on Savile Row, studied for a masters at Central St Martins and eventually moved to Mayfair. Yet the posthumous exhibition paying tribute to one of British fashion's most imaginative minds ended up ... in New York. There, Savage Beauty brought in more than 660,000 visitors in three months, making it one of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's top 10 most popular exhibitions ever.
But for those of us who couldn't afford to fork out £500 for a transatlantic trip, there is now hope that we may still be able to see it. Melanie Rickey, Grazia's fashion editor at large, is campaigning to bring Savage Beauty to London. The V&A is keen to house it and so far, over a thousand McQueen fans have signed the petition on Rickey's blog.
McQueen once promised to take us "on journeys you never dreamed were possible" with his collections.
He always delivered. Now, we should make sure their next journey is homewards.
