Definitely one of those situations that seems funny on the surface, but once you consider the ramifications, the outcome turns quite gruesome.
"I kinna' kill th' wee beasties...I'll let th' Kling'ns do it."
I wonder if anyone ever "called" Gerrold on that likelihood?
In his book about the episode, Gerrold also wondered about the fate of the Tribbles, saying something to the effect of "I bet the Klingons didn't let any thoughts of inhumanity trouble them."

On Sunday 2 August Northants Cricket will be staging a Summer Special afternoon of jazz with a barbecue at the County Ground. Admission is £10 on the door. Further information is available on 01604 514455 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Kyle Coetzer was added to Scotland's squad for
their World T20 qualifiers having originally been left out. The squad also includes newly qualified former Northants player Con de Lange.
BBC Radio Northampton reported that former Northants CEO David Smith was turned away at the gate when he tried to attend the T20 Blast match against Lancashire at the County Ground on 19 June. Smith had previously attended the T20 home matches against Birmingham and Derbyshire.
Law firm Shoosmiths, who first opened for business in Northampton in 1845, have announced their continued sponsorship of Northants Cricket.
Recent Steelbacks player Shahid Afridi will be playing for St Kitts & Nevis in the Caribbean Premier League T20 competition.
The 'My Favourite Cricketer' feature in The Cricketer magazine has for the last two months featured contributors with Northamptonshire connections but neither chose Northamptonshire cricketers. Jim Hawkins wrote about Graham Barlow in July's edition whilst Chris Broad was the subject of Alec Swann's article in August. The August edition also includes features on Dennis Lillee's spell with the County in 1988 and an Ashes preview co-written by former Northamptonshire players Graeme Swann and Mike Hussey.
The King's Head on Beach Street Deal is a 250 year-old inn full of history. In summer it is a riot of colour with window boxes and pots of flowers covering its front.
The landlord was born in Northampton and still follows the fortunes of the County and the Cobblers. He has an incredible collection of cricket memorabilia including bats of all sizes and ages, many with autographs of famous names of the past.
It is a real homage to cricket and well worth a visit.
To add one more interesting fact, the beer is by
Shepherd Neame, Britain's oldest brewer.
The two T20 matches against Nottinghamshire at the County Ground in late May were used by several of the first team as a warm up for the main competition. In the first match Notts totalled 201-2. Despite 40 from 24 balls by Ben Duckett and uselful contributions from Steven Crook (42 off 19) and Kyle Coetzer (47 off 37) Northants fell just short at 195-7.
In the second match Adam Rossington hit 57 from 44 balls but a total of 154-7 did not trouble the visitors who won by five wickets with 14 balls to spare (Azarullah 3-18).
Notts also defeated Northants in the Championship match between the two sides at Stowe School. Northants totalled only 129 having won the toss.Notts recovered from 87-4 to make 351. Another collapse saw Northants 53-5 but they did recover to total 274, Zak Khawaja (60) top scoring. Left a target of 53 Notts won by ten wickets.
The next Championship match saw Northants travel to York. The visitors could make only 127 to which Yorkshire replied with 404-5 declared. In the second innings the Seconds were bowled out for 176 to lose by an innings and 101 runs.
There was better news when the two teams met in a pair of T20 matches at Barnsley. Trialist Aaron West (91) and David Murphy (48) helped take Northants to 171-2 in the first match. Yorkshire fell short on 161-8. In the second game Murphy hit an unbeaten 71 in a total of 178-6. Again the home side fell just short making 173-6.
Next up for the Second Eleven was a trip to Hinckley for a Championship match against Leicestershire. The home side were bowled out for 202 with Karl Penhale taking 4-63. However Northants could manage only 138 in reply. Maurice Chambers (4-43) helped bowl Leicestershire out for 205 to leave a victory target of 270. However on the final day Northants collapsed from 36-0 to 74 all out to lose by 195
The two sides then met at Grace Road for a pair of T20 matches. Leicestershire won the first by 42 runs. In the second Ben Duckett hit 99 in a total of 192-6. Ben Sanderson then took 3-17 as the host were restricted to 190-6.
On the road again the Seconds travelled to Todmorden for a Championship match against Lancashire. Akhil Patel's 75 was the highlight of a Northants total of 178. Lancashire replied with 191, Karl Penhale taking 5-74. Then Northants collapsed to 78 all out. Left just 66 to win Lancashire claimed victory by nine wickets.
The two teams reconvened at Westhoughton for a Trophy match. David Murphy (35) top scored in a disapointing total of 155. Lancashire lost just three wickets in claiming victory in the 38th over.
Northamptonshire opened their Second Eleven Trophy account with a five-wicket win over Leicestershire at Dunstable. Tom Sole took 4-24 as the visitors were bowled out for 164. Akhil Patel (49) then top scored as Northants reached their target in only 34 overs.
Durham were bowled out for 191 at Finedon in the next Trophy match with Saif Zaib (4-35) being the most successful bowler. Zaib (45) also top scored but Northants collapsed from 122-3 to 133 all out in their reply to lose by 58 runs.
Northamptonshire women were defeated twice over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend in late May.
On the Sunday Leicestershire racked up 242-3 to which Northants could only reply with 106. The County Ground was the venue.
On Monday the venue was Marehay CC for a match against Derbyshire. The opponents again racked up a big score – 249-5. In reply the Steelettos crashed to just 79 all out.
There was better news when the side travelled to Boughton Hall to play Cheshire. The hosts were bowled out for 155. Despite a collapse, from 88-1
the Steelettos were able to claim at two-wicket win. Trish Hankins (42) was the top scorer.
With another Ashes series upon us it's time to look back at how Northamptonshire players have featured in past Ashes series;
Back in 1909 George Thompson became the first man to appear in Test Match for England whilst a Northamptonshire player. The venue was Edgbaston and Thompson was one of the fifteen originally invited to Birmingham by the selectors.
The match was dominated by the bowlers for the first three innings before England claimed a ten wicket win. Thompson batted at a lowly number ten in his only innings (run out for 6) and was allowed only four wicketless overs which went for 19 runs. George Hirst (9 wickets) and Colin Blythe (11) dominated the match.
By contrast Thompson was dropped and never played another Test Match in England (though he did play in all five Tests in South Africa the following winter).
Fast forward 25 years and another Northamptonshire bowler 'Nobby' Clark featured in two tests of the 1934 Ashes. Clark made his mark in the Australian second innings at The Oval by taking 5-98. However as Australia went on to win by the small matter of 562 runs (they made 701 and 327 to England's 321 and 145) we perhaps don't want to dwell on this too much.
The 1950-51 Ashes series in Australia saw a Northamptonshire cricketer Freddie Brown (who had toured Australia without playing a Test in the 1932-33 as a Surrey cricketer) as captain. Australia had held the urn since that 1934 series and unfortunately weren't ready to relinquish it just yet. England won the final Test at Melbourne by eight wickets (their first Test Match victory over Australia since The Oval in 1938) but had lost the previous four.
The series had begun with the infamous match at Brisbane on a 'sticky'. In reply to Australia's 228 Brown declared England's innings on 68-7. In
turn Lindsay Hassett declared Australia's second innings at 32-7. England were bowled out for 122 to lose by 70 runs with Len Hutton making an unbeaten 62.
The next Ashes series in Australia has featured in these pages previously. Keith Andrew was destined to feature in only the first match (lost by an innings at Brisbane) but Frank Tyson played a major part in England striking back to win 3-1 and retain the precious urn.
Tyson also featured, much less effectively in the next two Ashes series taking just four wickets in his three appearances.
The Northamptonshire captain Raman Subba Row played in all five tests of the 1961 series (won 2-1 by Australia). He scored a century in both his first Test against Australia (112 at Edgbaston) and his last (137 at The Oval). Subba Row retired from all cricket at the end of the season.
Colin Milburn's Ashes contribution was sadly brief. He appeared in the Second and Fifth Tests of the 1968 series. At Lord's he hit a typically aggressive 83 which actually outscored Australia's first innings (78) although the weather forced a draw.
Milburn's Northamptonshire opening partner Roger Prideaux made his only Ashes appearance at Headingley in the Fourth Test of that same series. He made 64 in the first innings (adding 123 with John Edrich for the first wicket). Illness prevented him from playing in the final Test at the Oval and Milburn returned to the side.
David Steele's batting in the 1975 Ashes was the feature of a recent West Stand Story article. Sadly he could not help England to victory in any of the last three tests meaning that Australia's victory in the First Test at Edgbaston proved decisive.
The Ashes were not at stake for the three Test series in Australia in 1979-80 which was just as well from an English perspective as all the matches were lost. Peter Willey featured in all of these matches whilst Wayne Larkins made his debut in the Third Test at Melbourne. Willey also played in the drawn Centenary Test at Lord's in
1980 with the Ashes again not at stake.
Both Willey and Larkins would also appear in the fondly remembered (well, in England) 1981 Ashes. Willey was a member of the team in the first four tests, hitting 82 in the first innings and Lord's. He also in the words of one of my friends "softened the Aussies up" with an innings of 33 before Ian Botham (149*) turned the tide in the Third Test at Headingley. Larkins was selected for the Sixth Test at The Oval making 34 and 24 in a drawn match which sealed England's 3-1 series win.
Allan Lamb was of course an England regular throughout most of the 1980's . Strangely despite a number of useful scores in the 1982-83, 1985 and 1986-87 series Lamb's highest innings during those 15 tests was his 83 at Melbourne in December 1982 – a match which ended in a memorable three-run win for England (the series was lost 2-1).
Geoff Cook also played in three Tests of the 1982-83 series but made only 54 runs in six innings.
Lamb began the 1989 series with a century (125) at Headingley. England collapsed in their second innings to lose by 210 runs and injury was to prevent Lamb from playing any more part in the series.
The 1989 Ashes was to prove disasterous for England, ending in a 4-0 defeat to herald in 16 years of Australian dominance. Nick Cook appeared in the last three tests claiming five wickets. Cook was joined in the Oval Test by David Capel in a drawn match.
Capel had also played in the Bicentenary Test against Australia at Sydney in early 1988 when the Ashes were not at stake. He claimed 3-51 in a drawn match.
The 1990-91 series saw a surprise return to Ashes action for Wayne Larkins alongside Allan Lamb. Wayne totalled 141 runs and Allan 191 both making three appearances as England lost the five match series 3-0. These were to prove the final Ashes matches for both.
Test match appearances against Australia, indeed Test match appearances full stop became something of a rarity for Northamptonshire cricketers after the early nineties. It took any injury to Ashley Giles to give Monty Panesar his chance.
The 2006-07 Ashes series was to prove disapointing for England (have I said this somewhere before?) who were whitewashed. Panesar did at least claim 5-92 in the Third Test at Perth. However that was about as good as it got.
Monty did have the satisfaction of helping to save the First Test of the 2009 Ashes at Cardiff. He added an unbeaten 19 runs with James Anderson for the last wicket. Nevertheless he was not to play in any of the remaining four matches as England claimed a 2-1 win.
Panesar was to make two more Ashes appearances in the 2013-14 series but by then he had become a Sussex player.
A number of Northamptonshire born cricketers have also played in England v Australia tests whilst playing for other counties. Charles Studd (Middlesex) and Arthur Mold (Lancashire)did so back in the 19th century. In the 21st century Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire) played a major role in England's 2009, 2010-11 and 2013 Ashes victories before retiring midway through the 2013-14 series with England 3-0 down.
Several cricketers with Northamptonshire connections have also appeared for Australia in Ashes tests.
George Tribe played in three tests of the 1946-47 series, whilst Dennis Lillee began his long Ashes career in 1970-71. In both instances these appearances were made before there Northamptonshire days had begun. Similarly Matthew Hayden and Mike Hussey appeared on a number of occasions for their country after the conclusion of their careers for the county.
If there is sufficient interest we will run a coach trip to the following Royal London One Day Cup match;
Sunday 2 August v Worcestershire at Worcester
Please come and see us at the Signal Box if you want to register a place on this trip.
This autumn and winter we will again be staging lunches which will each have a guest speaker. Details of these events will appear in the next West Stand Story.

Wow! Copa de Arbol exceeded our all of our expectations. Our adventure began as soon as we stepped off the boat into the warm ocean and onto the beach of Copa de Arbol surrounded by palm trees and blue skies in March with our daughter 23, her boyfriend 22, and our two sons 7 and 9.
We had 2 cabinas: Mango and Coco. Each "thatched" cabina is beautifully appointed and immaculately kept. We fell asleep each night to the sound of the ocean and the sounds of many night creatures and were awakened many mornings by the sound of the Howler monkeys all the while cool and comfortable in our air conditioned cabina! What more could you ask for! Nature and Comfort. True luxury in the middle of the jungle.
The resort is nestled on the hillside overlooking the ocean. At the center of the resort is the open air reception/dining with breathtaking views of the bay. White Face Capuchin monkeys visit often trying to steal food from the kitchen!
I can not say enough about the hard working restaurant staff, Mario, Dylan and Ronnie. Mario (the dining manager) was there everyday from 5 am to 11 pm to make sure that all of our needs were met! Not only do 2 of our children have food allergies, but we also have one VERY picky eater. This was never an issue. Mario was always so accommodating and more than willing to prepare something special for our needs. Dinner is typically served from 6pm on. During our first night our youngest fell asleep at the table before having dinner. Mario suggested that we have our dinner earlier the next few nights of our stay, "it will be better for our little friend" ,he said. From that night on he always had dinner ready for our children around 5:00. So thoughtful!
The meals, usually a choice of 2 entrees, were always delicious. Fresh fruits, vegetables and fish from the sea. One of the days we were there they caught a Tuna, which we ate fresh that night! Amazing!
There are no roads or cars here. You travel everywhere by boat. This was as much of an adventure as our scheduled tour for the day. Breath taking views and spotted dolphins on every journey.
We spent an amazing day hiking through Serena Corocovado National Park with Alberto, and a thrilling night hike through the jungle with Mauricio. I would highly recommend both! Alberto and Mauricio are so knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Great with families! MANY animals!!
We also visited Cano island for a diving trip for the adults and snorkeling for the kids. The island is beautiful and we had such a great time we went back a second day! We were fortunate enough to see a Whale Shark which swam right up to our boat! AMAZING!
Of course, you don't even have to leave the resort if you don't want to. Relax by the pool with a drink from the bar, swim in the ocean, paddle board, kayak, or take a nap on the beach (just not under a coconut tree)!
The resort has it all. Beaches, pool, luxuriously appointed cabins, great dining, peace & quite, thrilling adventures, wildlife, and a wonderful staff. The staff: Julian, Angel, Mario, Dylan, Ronnie and the wonderful owners Jay and Mike really go the extra mile to make sure you have everything you want. If you need something just ask! They will make it happen if at all possible.
A very special place. We will definitely be back!

2007 Mount St. Joseph graduate Jason Foster was released by the Oakland Raiders on Saturday night, prior to the deadline for NFL teams to cut their rosters to 53 players.
- Filed Under
Vermonter Jason Foster was released by the Oakland Raiders on Saturday night as the National Football League team announced its 53-man roster.
Foster, who was in a battle for the backup spot at right guard, saw action in Raiders preseason games this month. The former Mount St. Joseph and University of Rhode Island lineman played on the Raiders' practice squad for most of the 2012 season following a preseason stint with the Indianapolis Colts.
When reached by cellphone shortly after the news broke Saturday night, Foster politely declined comment.
Foster, on his Twitter page, posted: "Just a small bump in the road that won't side track me. Thank you raider fans and everyone for the support (you've) shown me. You're all amazing!"
The Raiders' 53-man roster includes four quarterbacks and two punters.

Here's everything you need to know about Ray Martin as we are informed of his leading an external enquiry into Q and A's unconscionable lapse of etiquette by letting someone, albeit someone who is something of a knobhead, state the blindingly obvious. From the leader's debate of the 1996 Federal election, an election, as Federal elections tend to be, fought, in theory, on national issues.
RAY MARTIN: All right. I want to give you both a chance to sum up, but a quick question, a news question. Were you shocked by the Federal Court's ruling about the behaviour of Rupert Murdoch's companies in Australia over football?PAUL KEATING: These are corporate matters under the Trade Practices Act, Ray. I mean, you would have to know basically all....RAY MARTIN: But the judge's use of words like deceit and dishonesty and duplicity and corrupting tactics. Is that coming to....PAUL KEATING: Yes, but why ask us, Ray? I mean....RAY MARTIN: Because Telstra is in partnership with Foxtel in terms of pay television. You're also going to give them Fox Studios.PAUL KEATING: But what are you trying to say, now? I manage the Rugby League - is that it?RAY MARTIN: No, you are in partnership with a company that has been severely criticised by a Federal judge.PAUL KEATING: For a pay television business. But Super League is a creature of the News Corporation and News Limited and the ARL.RAY MARTIN: So there's nothing on TV licences or about newspapers in Australia? There is no reflection on that?PAUL KEATING: Look, this is essentially about corporations. It is a corporation tussle.RAY MARTIN: Any alarm bells for you on this?JOHN HOWARD: Can I just say something about it. As a lover of Rugby League, I hope that court decision is a catalyst to reunite the game. I think the division and the bitterness, the rancour, that has occurred and has cut in half a great game and I would like to see....RAY MARTIN: Any alarm bells? We don't have your communications policy, but any alarm bells about a company, in newspapers and television in Australia, that gets that sort of critique?JOHN HOWARD: Oh, well, I mean, they are entitled to further procedures of the law like anybody else and I don't think somebody in my position should be making ex cathedra judgments.
As digital methods have become more central to literary study, Shakespeare's works have proved a tempting testing ground. In a 2011 article, Ward E.Y. Elliott and Robert J. Valenza of Claremont McKenna College tackled the claim of Shakespeare's widespread wordsmithing. They concluded that new words attributed to Shakespeare are "probably overcounted by a factor of at least two" — in part because early versions of the Oxford English Dictionary relied heavily on Shakespeare for textual citations. Indeed, as more works become digitized, Shakespeare's number of first-use citations in the OED is dropping, from 3,200 at midcentury to around 2,000 today.Meanwhile, in another 2011 article published in Shakespeare Quarterly, Hugh Craig, of the University of Newcastle in Australia, took on the belief that Shakespeare's vocabulary is truly "beyond comparison," aligning Shakespeare's plays with about 100 others of the period to "dispel the myth of his exceptional vocabulary." Craig found that, accounting for Shakespeare's greater output and survival rate, he was not so different from his peers; on average, he employed a narrower variety of words per play than now-forgotten colleagues like Robert Greene and George Peele. "The truth is much simpler," Craig wrote: "Shakespeare has a larger vocabulary because he has a larger canon."
Recommendations are made about immigration, suggesting policies and legislative changes "necessary to support decisions to grant or revoke an initial visa, subsequent visas, and citizenship." This came in light of the assessment that "in the same circumstances, Monis would likely be granted entry to Australia and citizenship if he presented in 2015".Immigration processes had to "reflect changing national security considerations" – a desperate admission of post hoc ergo propter hoc. The Monis who presented himself at the Lindt Café was not the same man who arrived in Australia in 1996. Reading between these lines, the report is expecting immigration officials to be skilful clairvoyants. The more likely outcome will entail exclusionary rules....Then come the "programs". Emphasis is made on expediting "work on a Countering Violent Extremism referral program, including ensuring it is appropriately resourced". This suggests that Monis, deemed mentally ill on the one hand, and a radicalised agent of Islam on the other, could be the beneficial subject of such panaceas. The very idea is tinged with more than a touch of ludicrousness, given the nature of the man's disposition to begin with. Oscillating between forms of sectarianism, idealism and philosophical costumes, he was arguably beyond the reach of any such recipe for action. What the Martin Place Siege report suggests is a sweetly targeted delusion: that radicalisation programs necessarily work in their theoretical and practical scope, and that Muslim communities must be strongarmed into being agents of the cause.As a final point, the report uses the incomprehensible verbiage of the modern bureaucrat analyst, centred on such organisational gibberish as "prioritisation" models. There are "Lead Prioritisation Categories", schematised as "High Priority Lead", "Medium Priority Lead" heading down to "No Priority assigned" which are, incidentally, those "Leads not relating to imminent threat and with few security indicators." A cardinal rule of security policy: make it unintelligible.
I don't read newspapers anymore — I just lie to myself and cut out the middleman, but I think it's important to note that the press themselves are not actually outraged by what they report on as being offensive. No tabloid journo — whose life is invariably a shattered kaleidoscope of prostitutes, gambling, cocaine, self-loathing, literally going through a stranger's bins, erectile dysfunction and cocaine — is genuinely offended when some students dress up as the Twin Towers for Halloween.Outrage just makes good copy. It's easier to write, and simpler to understand. A tabloid hack knows that their average reader can barely read and they're not going to try to communicate anything like ennui in the vocabulary of a ten year old.Offence is often simply an attempt to deny reality. Avant-garde film makers get attacked for saying things that are avant-garde; comedians get attacked for making jokes and footballers get attacked for being stupid. Nowadays offence is taken symbolically. It even gets translated into symbolic terms. Imagine if I did a joke along the lines of..."The thing about that paedophile ring at Westminster is that they weren't even the worst MPs. There were people in Parliament who were to the right of MPs that STRANGLED KIDS. And they actually did more harm than paedophiles. I mean, the nonces tried to do harm in their own little way, but Thatcher fucked ALL the kids."Not my finest work, but it doesn't matter because if it started a shitstorm, the joke itself wouldn't be printed. I would be in trouble because I'd joked about abused children or made a sick joke about a dead pensioner. The joke itself would be translated into these terms so as to maximise offence and minimise its message. I would be adjudged to have transgressed on a symbolic level, like some gibbering 13th Century Heretic.
I recall this scene from any number of zombie movies......but never this adorable.
Rundle on The Imitation Game:
Benedict Cumberbatch's Turing is arrogant, aloof and quick with a putdown. He delights in making his colleagues feel stupid, and in making his superiors guess his actions. He's bitchy and cute. He sees the war as a bore, a problem to be solved, not a moral-political-national struggle.None of this accords with anyone's memory of Turing, but it matches a set of cliches, that of the mid-century capital-H homosexual. 'Turing' is, put simply, queenish. The film has simply decided that a certain cultural style of being homosexual can be used to construct Turing's whole character....[T]he Colossus computer came along when the Engima code had been largely decrypted. Though it was built to Turing's design, its true architect was Tommy Flowers, the head radio engineer at the GPO research unit, the person charged with building the thing. A working-class boy apprenticed to the GPO at 13, Flowers had the key insight, that 'Colossus' should have stored programmes – that is, that the various things a computer did shouldn't have to be reloaded afresh each time. That is the computer: the thing I'm writing this on, the thing you're reading it on.Flowers and his team worked hundred hour weeks for eleven months to build Colossus. He and they appear nowhere in the film.Instead, we get Turing alone in a shed at Bletchley, putting Colossus together by hand. When the code is cracked, it's all at once – and they suddenly know the position of every U-boat in the Atlantic. The analogy is obvious, especially if you've seen The Social Network: it's Alan Turing as a proto-Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs, and Bletchley Park as the first start-up, the ancestor of Apple and Facebook. The effect is to attribute all heroic power to the genius with the one big idea, rather than the masses....[T]he weirdest thing about the portrayal of Turing in the film... [is that i]t can't cope with the full complexity of his sexuality, which shifted over his life, and which we would now call 'queer'*. Mostly sexually inactive through shyness in the 30s, he made clear his 'tendencies' to Clarke when they became engaged; she said it didn't matter much to her. He expressed a desire for family and children. Through the prism of post-Stonewall essentialist ideas of sexuality you could call that sexual false consciousness. But you could also suggest that the film's transformation of a real engagement into a sham one is an attempt to impose a highly specific idea of sexuality onto the past, one in which one has to be true to a deep and singular sexuality.
By various symbols and a five-color code, the city's hotels, apartments and rooming houses are rated either moral, immoral or 'undetermined'. The immoral category, vastly outnumbering the other two, is subdivided into accommodation where immorality is 'countenanced or ignored', places where immoral tenants are 'desired or preferred', and houses 'wholly given up to immorality'.
We are just past the starting line of a four-year marathon of Great War commemorations....The cost of the centenary to Australian state and federal taxpayers – to say nothing of an expectedly vast contribution from private donors – will be in the region of $320 million.To put that into perspective, the UK has set aside 'just' £55 million (around $100 million) for the commemorations, despite the fact that its military casualties vastly outnumbered those of Australia: 750,000 deaths as against 60,000.
In other words, Wicked Campers got rid of its slogan because it was unpopular. Yes, some politicians muttered about new laws. But the company didn't repaint its vans because of repression by the Nanny State but rather because activists mobilised against them. No infringement of free speech took place. On the contrary, large numbers of ordinary people who had previously been silent found their voice – the exact opposite of the Big Brotherish crackdown [Abbott appointed Human Rights Commissioner and IPA hack Tim] Wilson seemed to be describing.Why, then, did Mr Freedom make this case a cause célèbre? The answer lies in this line:Despite the success of the online campaign, Mr Wilson said people who disapproved should protest by not using the business.For Wilson, freedom's a market relationship, most perfectly expressed when an owner freely chooses to sell a particular commodity and a purchaser freely opts to buy it....Everyone knows Anatole France's quip about the law treating the rich and poor equally when it comes to sleeping under bridges – and the same critique can be applied to notions of freedom (for, as they say, free speech is a lot easier when you own a newspaper). But we can make a stronger claim. Because the sale of labour power depends on this double sense of freedom, defending freedom (from a capitalist perspective) means defending disempowerment, since, if workers have other options available to them, the commodity of labour power will not circulate freely.That's why, for neoliberal ideologues, any protest or strike represents (in embryo, at least) an attack on freedom, an infringement on the logic of the commodity. From Wilson's perspective, by campaigning against Wicked Campers, activists are undermining the fundamental relationships of a free (capitalist) society – which is why our commissioner duly leapt into action.
Despite the success of the online campaign, Mr Wilson said people who disapproved should protest by not using the business.

Questions and Answers About Meditation, Yoga, the Spiritual Life, and More
How Important Is the Astrological Bangle?
How important is it to wear the gold, silver, and copper astrological bangle talked about by Paramhansa Yogananda.
I know meditation is the single most important thing in ones life, but I would like your thoughts on the bangle.
I figure every little bit helps and I need all the help I can get.
The cost of a bangle would be high but I can sell my existing gold jewelery for a bangle if it would make a big difference in my life.
As always, Thank You for answering my numerous questions.
Dear DP,
I appreciate your question. You are quite right that wearing a physical object cannot help our consciousness as much as spiritual practices; I believe Yogananda said, "Devotion is the greatest 'bangle'".
On the other hand, when Yogananda himself questioned the use of bangles, his guru, Sri Yukteswar, replied, "It is only when a traveler has reached his goal that he is justified in discarding his maps. During the journey, he takes advantage of any convenient short cut."
For this reason, I wear the bangle prescribed by Sri Yukteswar and Yogananda. I don't have a dramatic story of how the bangle has made a huge difference in my life, though I believe it has. There are such stories: you can read some here on the bangle website. You can also read a letter written by Yogananda about the bangle.
Whether or not to invest in a bangle is your decision, of course. But even from a financial point of view, selling gold to buy gold is not too risky. And you'll enjoy a spiritual "profit"!

1. One of the standard actions does not do exactly what you want to do, so you need to tweak it, beyond what can be done using the CLI options
1. You need to extend your build process with more steps, not implemented as part of the standard actions
Module::Build::Bundle is an example of the last point. This distribution is a sub-class of Module::Build implementing a step where
a set is automatically generated from a the
requires section.
The Module::Build documentation provides good pointers.
Build.PL Boilerplate
The license specifies under what licensing the software is available. I always spent time trying to locate the canonical list of available values, so I decided to put it here. The list is lifted from Module::Build::Base (external link). Module::Build mentions Software::License (external link) as a possible canonical resource, another good list is included in CPAN::Meta::Spec (external link).
Lifted from: Module::Build::Base 0.40.
This flag can be quite useful if you have a large number of test scripts and you want to organize these in a deep directory structure or a basic structure following the naming conventions of the components in your distribution.
If you are not using something like Test::Class and you want to isolate your tests of specific parts of your application into separate files, this can be useful since you can organize your files resembling your name space.
Dependencies you want to have met before starting the configuration step has to be specified in this section.
Use this section for dependencies you need for the whole process, like Module::Build. Newer versions of Module::Build adds this information if not present.
Dependencies you want to have met before starting the build step has to be specified in this section. Some clients might handle the distributions mentioned here differently. App::cpanminus asks you whether you want to have the dependencies installed and not just discarded after ended use.
Where the two previous steps:
configure_requires and
build_requires are just about the process of building, this step can be used to assert whether a given environment targeted for your build is same.
This step checks whether dependencies are met.
Build.PL can be extended with meta information related to the project and distribution. For my projects I define the following section in my
For Task::Jenkins it looks the following way:
If you want to see examples of complete
Build.PL files many of the CPAN distributions hosted here have complete examples: Business::DK::CPR aso.
Installing Scripts and Applications
Scripts are per default installed in
t alias
This has been taken from the Module::Build::Cookbook documentation, it is a very nice shell alias, which has saved me plenty of typing.
In addition, I can recommend the following aliases:
Resolving Data From Distribution Automatically
Module::Build can utilize a lot of parameters to assist the user in creating distributions etc.
The shortest representation however is to use the following snippet in your
This does the following
- Sets
dist_nameto 'Workflow'
- Sets
See also our
Build.PL boilerplate.
Using cpanm with Module::Build to install dependencies
The installdeps action can be used with
cpanm, please see the
App::cpanminus page for more information.
Auto-generate the README file
See also our
Build.PL boilerplate.
Auto-generate the Makefile.PL for backwards compatibility
I have used previously used:
Instead of the topmost example, this has given me some problems, see this CPAN testers report. The issue is further discussed and explained in this PerlMonks article on Module::Build and Makefile.PL generation.
See also our
Build.PL boilerplate.
In order to address this potential issue for all of my CPAN distributions I have created this worksheet to get an overview.
Coverage Test via Module::Build
If you are using Module::Build you can utilize Devel::Cover easily as part of your build process.
Module::Build can do test coverage using Devel::Cover. Devel::Cover takes a lot of options, which can be really interesting when customizing your coverage test.
In order to pass in options you have to utilize the environment variable:
In order to execute a coverage test you could do the following:
After this you will have a coverage report in
cover_db/coverage.html. The report might be very extensive, providing coverage information on externals components you include via Subversion externals or if you are using larger frameworks like Mojolicious. You can then provide options to Devel::Cover to customize your report.
Here are the options Devel::Cover currently support ():
Coverage Database
Please note that when experimenting the options, it is very important that you clear the existing coverage database to see the result. You might get a report based on the previous run of you have only changed some of the options.
When experimenting with the options, prefix the invocating line with the note mentioned above.
Extract Dependencies Report
Module::Build can provide a list of your dependencies, from the requirements section in your
An example result could look at follows
This is quite useful and it can of course be parsed, I do this to build the
requirements.txt for Stackato deployments.

Benedict also sought to encourage minority Christians in the region, urging them to not be tempted to flee their traditional homelands and calling for them to be allowed to "live their faith freely."
Benedict directed his words in French towards Bechara Boutros Rai, patriarch of Antioch of the Maronites in Lebanon, one of the six cardinals he elevated Saturday.
Benedict, who visited Lebanon in September, said the church wanted to encourage all peace efforts in the Middle East, "a peace that can only be effective if it's based on an authentic respect for others."
The new cardinals and their families had a private audience with Benedict Monday.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- MAP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MAPP) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
The net loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 was $13.9 million compared to $13.4 million during the same period in 2009. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $54.7 million compared to $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in net loss for the 12 month period was primarily due to collaboration revenue received in 2009, including a one-time upfront payment pursuant to a previous license agreement with AstraZeneca, compared to no collaboration revenue in 2010.
MAP Pharmaceuticals had cash and cash equivalents of $76.0 million as of December 31, 2010, compared to $65.8 million as of December 31, 2009. This does not include the $60.0 million upfront payment the Company received in February 2011 pursuant to its collaboration agreement with Allergan, Inc.
"With a strategic collaboration in place, and all of our clinical trials complete, we look forward to submitting the NDA for LEVADEX in the first half of 2011 and, if approved by the FDA, moving closer to our goal of bringing a new acute treatment option to the migraine market," said Timothy S. Nelson, president and chief executive officer of MAP Pharmaceuticals. "We are very proud of our accomplishments over the past year, and we remain dedicated to our goal of bringing LEVADEX to many of the approximately 30 million American migraine sufferers, including those who have not been successfully treated with currently available therapies."

I was already at the bus station to my way to the airport and I saw my landlord again with my flip flops. C & N, Clint and Nelson really take care of you. The bedroom is nice, with a balcony and chair and a desk, where you sit to answer your emails. Very nice is the roof terrace, where you have a good view of Sitges and the sea. Parking your car is easy there and from the house it's a short walk to the beach. For those who are cooking, Carrefour is one block away. more
