Sandwiched in between the final episode of Star Trek and the 1977 release of Star Wars, Space: 1999 occupies an odd bit of historical real estate and has an even odder tone of voice, though it's easier to make sense of if you understand where science fiction was when Space: 1999 debuted. It might help explain why a group of rambunctious young sprouts, such as my friends and I were at the time, were so tolerant of what was a rather morose, talky, slow-moving show. But that's how science fiction was at the time. The original Trek was colorful and had it's fair share of action, but much like football, if you timed the actual action against the scenes of people sitting around saying stuff, there was far less jumping around and exploding than people recall. And post 2001: A Space Odyssey, science fiction really shed its pulp trappings and entered a period of pretty trippy, contemplative mood. This was science fiction as I knew it: sort of melancholy, a lot to do with environmental catastrophe, and not really centered on "action." It's why we could watch Silent Running at a birthday party and love it. and It's why we could become obsessed with a show that seemed to feature a lot of Martin Landau frowning and speaking in a hushed monotone.

Evil of Frankenstein
The story to this point: the good doctor of questionable moral standards, one Baron Victor von Frankenstein (Peter Cushing) escaped the guillotine he was facing at the end of the first film, Curse of Frankenstein, only to find himself beaten to death by angry amputees at the end of the second film, Revenge of Frankenstein. Luckily, his apprentice in that film, Hans, turned out to be a most capable student and was able to bring Frankenstein back from the dead, making him, in effect, the first man to successfully pull off Frankenstein's experiment with reanimating corpses. So there you have the first two Frankenstein films from England's Hammer Studio, two of the company's best films and two of the best horror films ever produced. Well, you can forget all that, because although the third film in the series, Evil of Frankenstein once again stars Cushing in the lead role, and although there is a helper named Hans, just about everything else established up to that point by the previous films is chucked out the window for some inexplicable reason. Perhaps if we step back and look at some of the events that lead up to this film, we can comprehend why it seems such an oddity in the overall Hammer Frankenstein series. Or maybe we won't. Either way, you're getting the story, so you might as well sit back and make yourself comfortable.
Revenge of Frankenstein
When last we saw Baron Victor Frankenstein, he was being marched to the guillotine to face a beheading for the murders committed by his man-made man, not to mention the murders in which he himself dabbled. Well, you can't keep a good mad scientist down, and there are none better or madder than Cushing's Frankenstein. With the help of a prison attendant who wants access to the Baron's peculiar talents, Frankenstein escapes the execution and sets up a new identity and a new medical practice in another town. Hey, cheating death is what Frankenstein is all about, right? All seems to be going well for the doctor, who has a bustling private medical practice and a commendable public hospital for the poor. Sure he draws the ire of the local medical society when he refuses to join their ranks, but all in all, this new Dr. Stein (put a lot of thought into that one, didn't ya, Victor? Better than Alucard, I reckon) seems to have turned over a new leaf and started working for the good of mankind. But wait…wasn't that what he thought he was doing the last time around?
The Vampire Lovers
The first Hammer movie I saw was late one night at my grandparents' house, back when horror double bills were a Friday night TV staple. Mostly these were old Universal flicks, but occasionally if I was lucky there'd be a couple of Hammer horrors. I found these much more exciting than their earlier American counterparts, in fact I still do; vivid colour, actual gore, and an undercurrent of sex that provoked definite interest in young Dave. Also, better acting (there, I said it) and none of those awful Hollywood cockney coppers, gor bloimey Guv'nor. From then on, I was predisposed to see any Hammer film that came along, but this was pre-DVD (it was even pre-VHS, which makes me feel very old) so opportunities were limited. A few years and one wonderful technical revolution later, I discovered a video tape in Dad's not-too-secret 'special' pile. It was Countess Dracula, not exactly a typical Hammer film, but it introduced me to the vision of loveliness that was Ingrid Pitt. More importantly it introduced me to Ingrid Pitt's boobs. That was it; I was lost.
Legend of the Werewolf
As the only contributor to Teleport City who resides in the fine country of Great Britain (and it is fine, despite most of it seeming to be on fire as I write this), I like to be able to bring you the occasional bit of Brit weirdness. Of course the brilliant minds at T.C. are already familiar with much of the classic and cult cinema exported by the likes of Hammer, Amicus and others, but today I'm going with something a trifle more obscure. Today's review subject is one of the few releases by an ill-fated outfit named Tyburn Film Productions.
Arabian Adventure
The years 1976 to 1986, roughly spanning ages four to fourteen for me, seem to be when I discovered the bulk of what I would end up liking for the rest of my life. At the time, my enthusiasm for entertainment that was sometimes, to be charitable, of dubious merit, could be chalked up to simple naivety — the juvenile tastes of a juvenile. Perfectly acceptable, even if it did mean that I was prone to celebrating things like Treasure of the Four Crowns and Gymkata. However, years — nay, decades — later, I find that when I go back and revisit these films so beloved in my youth, rather than having a quiet chuckle at how silly I was back then, I actually enjoy them just as much. And sometimes even more.
At the Earth's Core
So there have been a couple of reviews now, possibly more, where I've claimed that the crummy movie in question would have been much improved had the two leading stars been replaced by actor Doug McClure and actress Caroline Munro. I figured, then, it's high time I reviewed a crummy movie that did cast McClure and Munro in the lead roles, and when one's talking crummy films featuring either of those stars, it's hard to find one that's much crummier than At the Earth's Core, a low-budget attempt by England's Amicus Studio to bring to life Edgar Rice Burrough's Pellucidar series of novels. Pretty much every pulp fiction writer, from Burroughs to Verne, wrote a hollow earth, beneath-the-surface of the planet adventure. Burroughs, in fact, wrote several, and these attempts to do Journey to the Center of the Earth one better comprise the Pellucidar books.
Night Creatures
Although England's Hammer Studio made a variety of films, the trio of Horror of Dracula, Curse of Frankenstein, and The Mummy solidified the direction of the studio and its identity with the public for the remainder of its life. And not without good reason. In their heyday, and even long after the studio had fallen into disrepair, Hammer showed a panache for producing lavish looking Gothic horror that was simply unmatchable. America's AIP came close with Roger Corman's Edgar Allen Poe inspired cycle of films starring Vincent Price, but no one could approach Hammer's consistency and longevity in producing world-class horror. Starting in 1958 and continuing throughout the 60s, and into the studio's final days in the first half of the 1970s, Hammer produced an unbelievable string of incredible horror films — almost every one of them a hit — buoyed by the one-two punch of venerated horror film icon Christopher Lee's Dracula films and Peter Cushing's Frankenstein series.
Satanic Rites of Dracula
What a long, strange trip it's been for Hammer Studio's lord of the undead, the prince of darkness, the king of vampires, Count Dracula. When first we met him back in 1958, he was a snarling beast, a barely contained force of nature that ripped into his prey with lusty abandon and was explained by his arch-nemesis Dr. Van Helsing in purely rational, scientific terms. Dracula, and vampirism in general (as expounded upon by Van Helsing in Brides of Dracula), was nothing more than a disease, like any other disease, and what we regarded as "supernatural" was really nothing more than an explainable part of the rational world that humanity had simply not yet learned how to explain. As Hammer's Dracula series progressed, however, Van Helsing faded from the picture and was replaced by a procession of forgettable guys named Paul, usually in league with some sort of religious authority figure. In Dracula, Prince of Darkness, we have a monsignor who seems to have some degree of faith in faith's ability to defeat Dracula, but he's far more reliant on his trusty bolt-action rifle than he is on the Lord Almighty.
Dracula A.D. 1972
And so we enter the dire straights of Hammer Films in the final throes of a long, drawn-out death much like those experienced by Dracula himself. As has been detailed elsewhere and will be summarized here, by the 1970s, England's Hammer Studios — the studio that pretty much defined and dominated the horror market through the 50s and 60s — had fallen on hard times. The old guard had largely retired or died, and the new blood was flailing about, desperately trying to find the direction that would right the once mighty production house. The problem was that everyone felt like they needed to update their image, but no one actually knew how. In retrospect, though they may have seemed painfully antiquated at the time of their release, many of Hammer's releases during the 70s were quite good and often experimental (by Hammer standards, anyway). This movie isn't really one of them, but it's still pretty enjoyable in a completely ludicrous way.

USCCB Urges Support for 'Respect for Rights of Conscience Act'
WASHINGTON—The Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has written to urge all members of the U.S. House of Representatives to support a bipartisan bill protecting conscience rights in health insurance. The Respect for Rights of Conscience Act of 2011 (HR 1179) was introduced by Reps. Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) and Dan Boren (D-OK).
The US Bishops aim to help ensure that the new health care reform act is not misused to violate the religious freedom and rights of conscience of those who offer and purchase health insurance coverage.
Federal law, until now, has never prevented the issuers and purchasers of health coverage from negotiating a health plan that is consistent with their moral and religious convictions. This could change, however, with implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) as now written.
The proposed law establishes a new list of 'essential health benefits' that will be mandatory for most health plans throughout the United States, and also requires all group and individual plans to cover general 'preventive services, as well as additional preventive services specifically for women.
Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups have been urging that mandated preventive services for women to include all drugs and devices approved by the FDA for contraception—including those that can prevent the implantation and survival of a newly conceived human being, and hence are seen as abortifacient by the Catholic Church and many others.
Mandated inclusion of contraception, sterilization and abortifacient drugs in health plans poses an obvious potential conflict with rights of conscience. Such conflicts would also arise if HHS mandates inclusion of some fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization, treatments using material from deliberately killed unborn children, or other procedures specifically rejected by the teachings of some religions.
PPACA arbitrarily and inexplicably does not protect the many religious denominations – including those providing the backbone of the nonprofit health care system in this country – whose moral teaching rejects specific procedures. If religious and other stakeholders are driven out of the health insurance marketplace by this aspect of PPACA, legislation whose purpose was to expand health coverage could have the opposite effect.

College Prohibits Internship at Planned Parenthood
COLCHESTER— St. Michael's College, New England, has denied a student credit for her time interning at Planned Parenthood.
The school's decision was made to preserve its Catholic identity. "There is an attempt to make sure things we do agree with the Catholic belief," said St. Michael's dean Jeffery Trumbower.
The Cardinal Newman Society and TFP Student Action have criticized several Catholic campuses for allowing student internships or offering health referrals to Planned Parenthood.
In February, TFP Student Action launched a protest petition against a Jesuit Seattle University that consents to internships at Planned Parenthood to fulfill academic requirements for a Public Affairs degree.

Marriage Wins in Colorado
DENVER—A bill that would have created same-sex civil unions in Colorado was defeated by a 6-5 voting along party lines.
Denver Auxiliary Bishop James Conley had earlier expressed his opposition to the bill saying it was a clever way to create a springboard to impose same-sex 'marriage' on Colorado and weaken marriage as an institution.
Canadian Brother Advances on Path to Sainthood
VATICAN CITY—Canadian Brother Adolphe Chatillon is one step closer to sainthood. The Holy Father signed a decree recognizing Brother Chatillon's heroic virtues.
Before Brother Chatillon can be beatified, the pope will have to recognize a miracle attributed to his intercession.
Brother Chatillon, 1871-1929, taught in schools in Quebec and at the Christian Brothers' novitiate.
Pope Benedict XVI advanced the sainthood causes of 35 candidates, among them a 14-year-old boy from his native Bavaria.

Backstory: What OWS Can Learn From Argentina
Thursday, December 08, 2011
In the late 1990s, Argentina spiraled into a recession not unlike our own. That economic crisis also spawned the "piquetero movement," where activists pioneered a system of strategic roadblocks as a form of protest. Nikolas Kozloff, author of Revolution! South America and the Rise of the New Left, discusses what the piqueteros did and didn't accomplish and what lessons Occupy Wall Street can learn from the movement.

Comments about Nady PSW-152 Dual 15" Subwoofer Pair:
I really enjoy these sub-woofers. I purchased them when they were on special and figured I would get rid of them and lose a little money if they were garbage, but I was impressed! I am keeping these and selling my single 15s instead. The ONLY issue I had was the polarity was reversed on the one. I pulled the 1/4 jack out, switched the wires, resoldered it, and now they are heavy hitters! I have a 3 way nady crossover running into my crown 602 amp and they are doing great. I haven't been able to push them all the way because my house shakes too much. If you can get used to needing 2 people to carry these everywhere these will be a great asset! The only other thing (personal preference though) I sometimes like to stand subs up vertical but the handles on these are not recessed on the sides making it wobble a little. I screwed on 4 cheap rubber feet and they stand perfectly! As long as you have realistic expectations theses will satisfy!

The idea of forcing those who want unemployment benefits or government subsidize like welfare or food stamps to first pass a drug test is nothing new.
But forcing a custodial parent to pee in a cup to get child support payments? Well, that definitely is.
Drug testing for child support is the brainchild of Iowa Republican Senator Mark Chelgren, who thinks it's the next logical step after testing anyone getting public assistance.
Raw Story reports, "Chelgren submitted the measure as an amendment to a budget bill currently before the Iowa state senate. He claims the idea for the proposal came from an unidentified constituent who was concerned that his ex wife was using child support money to buy drugs. Under the provision, payers of child support would be able to have their former partners tested for drugs every six months if they were willing to cover the costs associated with testing."
This might lead you to wonder if the good senator is married? Yes he is, and with children. Children that he is so concerned about that he has fought for parental rights to ensure kids stay out of state run preschools, because they could be "indoctrinated" there. "[T]he Chinese are taking 2- and 3-year-olds and educating them. And as a student of history, I also know the Nazis, the Soviets, a whole variety of groups, a whole variety of countries, take their children because it's not just up to age six they're so malleable. The day after they're born is when they learn the most percentage-wise. And so what question I have for this body and the question I have in general, if it is all about indoctrinating a child, I would use the exact same arguments that the Nazis used, that we should take children immediately, as soon as we recognize they have potential. What I would challenge with us instead is to put the responsibility on the parents. Because it is parents' responsibility and families' responsibility to make sure that in the formative year of growing the child, they are taught the values and they are taught and educated by their families and they have that bond, that maternal and paternal bond, that is developed during that time. It is not the role of this government to take that away from families and replace it with an indoctrination process by teachers."
But Chelgren is a huge fan of parental rights. In fact, he even sponsored "A concurrent resolution urging the members of the Congress of the United States to propose a parental rights amendment to the Constitution of the United States for submission to the states for ratification."
Parents, according to Chelgren, should have complete control over how they raise their children, and with absolutely no interference from the government.
Unless, of course, you are a divorced spouse (and most likely, mother) trying to support your children and want financial support from your ex. Then you need to prove yourself to the government — and your ex — first.

If a mom or dad is using drugs and there is strong evidence to support that drug use, then I think it would be fair and good to test... I get child support and while I would never even CONSIDER taking drugs, if ever I did my ex would have every right to be LIVID
Thanx Thomas C.
Any excuse to hurt the ex is used. I have seen over the years every measure people can dream up both men and women to find ways to not pay child support or to insult the ex.
There are already rules in place to safeguard children from unfit parents. Many are not being implemented. If an ex has a strong case that the ex is an unfit parent all he or she has to do is report them.
I am sure someone on this list will find exceptions to this statement, that happen from time to time but the systems are in place and only have to be properly used.
My apologies to Fred H. that he had to undergo the insult and shows that more legislation is not necessary.
As someone who worked in child support enforcement for ten years I know that women receiving child support and being on drugs (at least on enough drugs that affects their functioning) is a non issue. For the most part only working women get child support because if a woman is on welfare the child support goes to the government to reimburse the welfare payment. If she is able to hold a job for any period of time and also not neglect her children whe cannot be that deeply into drugs
Personally I don't like drug testing.I also don't like the climate in this country of being guilty and having to prove your self innocent.I thought it was the other way around.I know a young fella who had a drug accusation against him and he had to go for thousands of dollars to prove himself innocentWho got paid?The courts and the lawyers.Lucky for him he was clean.But he did not need this.I feel the climate in this country is going more and more anti women and I cannot believe some of the comments from women.If they want to drug test they should go to wall street.I heard some of the best stuff is there.America is becoming a very twisted place.
Victor thinks I am on drugs.Thats fine.I think he's on mis information.Or he doesn't like women.
When you try and vote the party of NO out you better make sure that you can vote. Some States have changed their voter registration laws so that even if you wanted to vote you won't be able to. PLEASE CHECK the voter registration laws of the States that you live in NOW, so that you can have the right ID when it comes time to vote. PLEASE tell ALL your friends about this, especially students, seniors, immigrants and the poor. I am sure that the 1% will be flocking to the voting booths so that they can retain their power and money. The 99% had better start THINKING about what will happen if the republicans get in again. For example, no contraceptives which will lead to more people. Right now 7 BILLION PLUS. No abortions even for sick babies, unwanted babies because of rape or incest. No Jobs, undrinkable water because of fracking, war with Iran, no health care. Abstinence programs only, which do not work and many others. Sex Education is needed so that unwanted pregnancy and abortion can be lessened along with STDS that can KILL your child. So if you don't vote and get as many as you can to vote along with you and the republicans get into power this may and probably will happen. Here is an idea, car pool with a car full to the voting booths (saves gas) and after you vote, have a party and KNOW that you have done your best for your country. Have a designated driver. PLEASE REMEMBER, DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE.
I stand corrected. Michael M. understands, most of the rest of you need to really look at why you think its ok. I will never pee in a cup for anyone ever again! It is a violation of our 4th ammendment rights pure and simple. When they came to take our rights not only did we not fight we gift wrapped em and handed em over.

Christ University
About College: Christ University, Bangalore was established in 1969 which was formerly called as Christ College(Under Bangalore University). In the span of thirty years this college became a very big brand nationally. This height was reached with the help of consistent academic discipline, innovative way of teaching ever growing placement record and due to dedicated staff. A decade ago this college was consistently ranked among top 30 college in India. This is the first college which was awarded NAAC accreditation in 2004. In 2009 Christ University has opened one more campus, Kengiri Campus on Mysore Road which accepts MAT score for management studies and COMED K for engineering studies.

Important: There is a confusion among candidates regarding the affiliation of Christ University. When Christ University applied for deemed status in 2008 it was supposed to take a NOC from the state university (Bangalore University). But in our country bravery is not always awarded. So, Bangalore University refused to give NOC to UGC(University Grant Commission). So initially it was included in the list of those 44 universities which was to be derecognised to be deemed university. Since then the case is in Supreme Court for decision and till then Christ University is continuing to be deemed university.
Ranking of Christ University
For management studies this college is among top 35 college in India.
In Bangalore among its competitor like Welingkar and Symbiosis it is better than Welingkar in terms of academics and placement. In Karnataka it is among top 2 college. Among MAT colleges this is best from last one decade.

Alternate title: Miracle in Valby
Something is strange about Sven's radio set. It is picking up signals in ancient classical Latin. Then the girl next door gets kidnapped by men dressed as medieval soldiers. He rounds up his friend Bo and, having figured out how to use his radio as a time machine, heads into the past in his family's mobile home. They have a lot of fun flummoxing the simple people of the Middle Ages with their modern guile, but eventually it's time to return to the present. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Just a couple of miles from the centre of Harrogate, Yorkshire, there is a farm shop to beat all farm shops. Fodder opened in June 2009 and it hasn't looked back. Run by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society and based at the Great Yorkshire Showground, it's Britain's first charitable food hall, with profits ploughed back into the community. But goodwill aside, Fodder is simply a great farm shop, showcasing up to 225 of the best of Yorkshire and Humber food producers.
"The idea started after the horror of foot and mouth," explains Fodder's managing director Heather Parry. "We wanted to do something to help the farming community and many of these producers didn't have the time or money to open up their own shops. The idea just snowballed from there."
The shop sits right next door to Sainsbury's – the success of its locality is something neither business expected. "People pay us both a visit," explains Parry. As well as a butchery counter, with four fully qualified butchers, there is a deli counter, with cheese such as Calderdale's chilli-laced Bad Boy, fruit and vegetables straight from the farms – David Westwood's rhubarb is currently going down a storm – jams and chutneys, locally baked bread from Via Vecchia in York (the olive bread is a winner), and cakes galore – Lottie Shaw's parkin has them queuing.
There's plenty of sampling opportunities, too, as each member of staff has become a champion for a particular product, with responsibility for passing on its great taste to customers.
All the food at Fodder can also be enjoyed in its adjoining 80-seat cafe (40 more seats outside), overseen by four chefs, open all day.
And when something isn't produced in the region – about 15% of what is on the shelves, in case you were wondering – then Parry makes sure that it shares a similar ethos. "Take orange juice – ours is organic, from Grove. Obviously Yorkshire doesn't grow oranges, but people want a meal solution when they come in here so we quickly realised that we needed to offer certain additional products," she says.
Parry makes a big noise about the fact that buying local doesn't mean spending more. "In some cases, it's actually cheaper to buy at Fodder. Take our free-range eggs – they cost 99p for six, which is cheaper than Sainsbury's selection of free-range eggs. And we get them delivered fresh three times a week, so they taste great. Generally, though, we are paying a fair price, and charging a fair price – we do a lot of price checking," explains Parry.
The meat is a particular source of pride for Parry. "We might charge the same as Sainsbury's Taste the Difference meat, but we get to choose and approve which slaughterhouse our farmers use, and we get to hang our own meat," she says. Fodder uses about 50 different farmers for its meat supplies.
It helps that Fodder has already won a mantelpiece-full of awards. From Deliciouslyorkshire's Best Food Retailer, to Butcher of the Year in the Meat Trade Journal – and it got a readers' choice award in this very journal at the OFM Awards.
It also helps that the big event around these parts, the Great Yorkshire Show, which takes place in July, is Fodder's time to shine – its food hall is the main attraction. Fodder also runs a thriving event catering business, Pavilions of Harrogate.
Other businesses have sat up and taken notice. "I reckon we are seeing many more restaurants around here pay more attention to local producers since we opened," says Parry, whose favourite restaurants for championing local produce include Van Zeller, in Harrogate, and the Yorke Arms, in Ramsgill.
In fact, Fodder has been so successful that other agricultural societies around the country are looking to develop their own models along similar lines. "We've been overwhelmed by the support," says Parry. FIONA SIMS
boned and rolled pork shoulder, skin deeply scored 4-5kg (Fodder recommends pork supplied by Michael Ingilbey Farm)
olive oil
dry cider 300ml
cooking apples, 4, peeled, cored and cut into chunks
golden caster sugar 3 tbsp
cinnamon stick 1
crushed dried chillies ½ tsp
crusty bread rolls or baguettes to serve
wild rocket to serve
For the spice paste:
fennel seeds 2 tsp
coriander seeds 1 tsp
black peppercorns 1 tsp
crushed dried chillies 1 tsp
sea salt 3 tsp
garlic cloves 4, crushed
lemon 1, zested and juiced
Heat oven to 210C/gas mark 8. Make spice paste by lightly crushing fennel seeds, coriander seeds and peppercorns with a pestle and mortar. Add chilli, salt, garlic and lemon zest and mix to a paste. Using your fingers push the mixture into the slits in the pork skin. Put pork, skin-side up, on a rack in a roasting tin and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast for about 20-25 minutes until skin starts to crisp.
Turn oven down to 130C/gas mark 2. Turn pork over, pour over lemon juice and cook for an hour. Pour 150ml cider into the roasting tin and cook for a further hour.
To make the relish, put apples in a pan with sugar, remaining cider, cinnamon stick, chilli and a good grating of nutmeg. Cover and cook over low heat until reduced to a thick pulp. Add more sugar if needed. Remove pork from oven and tip pan juices into a saucepan. Turn oven up to 200C/gas mark 7. Cook pork for further 25-30 minutes until the skin has turned golden and very crisp. Rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Spoon off fat from pan juices and warm over a gentle heat. Thinly slice pork and serve in rolls or baguettes with a drizzle of warm pan juices, a handful of rocket and a good spoonful of apple relish. Don't forget the crackling!

6 Hip Readers Commented
Hi. i think you meant to type 04/26 expiration for staples coupon not 04/19 :) thanks for all you do!
Thanks for the heads up Collin! I have $20 in rewards I need to use up by the end of the month. I will grab 4 reams of paper and something else small.
I wouldn't use it on paper because I don't think that you get the full rebate back when you used Rewards to pay for it so it wouldn't really be free. They offer so many free after rebate deals that I feel that paper should always be free if you have a Staples near by. Maybe you'll find something you need in the breakroom supplies section or the dollar section. I wonder if you could use the rewards towards custom printing because you could always make a really nice gift for Mother's Day in the copy/print center.
if she uses staples rewards to pay for things, she still gets the easy rebates. I almost always use my staples rewards to buy something with an easy rebate! but if you buy something with staples rewards, you can't earn staples rewards…
Hey Collin, this price is still good. Do you know if the rebate is? Also when I went the lady at the register told me about how Staples is now selling Verizon/AT&T phones now. She said by telling me this she could give me a $5 off my purchase. I was thrilled. I'm not sure if it was just that location or nationwide.

Written Answers - Pigmeat Sector.
Wednesday, 4 March 2009
Dáil Eireann Debate
155. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when and the means by which the Dutch authorities contacted his Department in relation to the discovery of PCBs in pork fat samples; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9083/09]
[204]Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Deputy Brendan Smith): On the evening of December 5th 2008 an official from the Dutch food safety authority phoned an official in my Department seeking information on contents of my Department's Press Release which had been issued the previous day. The Press Release indicated the detection of marker PCBs in pork fat samples.
My understanding is that a similar enquiry was made to the FSAI on the same evening.
156. Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will make a statement on a matter (details supplied). [9093/09]
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (Deputy Brendan Smith): The agreement concluded with pig processors in December involved making available a facility of €180 million from the public finances to assist processors in funding the recall and destruction of certain pork products from the market and product in storage. As a result of that agreement, processing plants were able to resume operations within a week.
To date, a total of €37.16m has been paid to processors as interim payments. Funding is also being provided to pay for relevant verification, rendering and destruction services. In addition, ex gratia payments are being made to those pig producers whose animals are being destroyed as a result of the dioxin incident. None of these herds is located in Co. Limerick.
In the context of general initiatives to assist the sector, Teagasc has prepared a development strategy for the Irish pig industry, which identifies the issues facing the sector and makes certain recommendations. The 'Pig Industry Strategy Steering Group', which includes representation from my Department and all sectors of the industry, has been established for the purpose of furthering those recommendations. This group will identify, prioritise and promote actions needed to ensure a viable sustainable future for the pig sector.
Bord Bia is also very active in promoting the sector. Following on from the dioxin issue, the Bord plans a number of relevant marketing and promotion initiatives. On the Irish market a series of promotional campaigns are planned. These commenced this month and focus on building awareness and loyalty to the Bord Bia Quality Mark. These will underline the quality of Irish pigmeat and will communicate its origin.
A customer reassurance programme will continue in export markets. This will entail
Continued direct Bord Bia contact with customers, placing key information about the Irish pigmeat industry in context and demonstrating the integrity of Irish health controls,
A trade communications programme designed to position the capability of the Irish pigmeat sector and the safety and quality measures in place to influence key decision makers in the retail, food service and manufacturing sectors and
A programme to maximise international market access for Irish pigmeat products. This will involve communications activities designed to build confidence among national authorities and opinion formers in markets based around Ireland's health controls.

Man Behind Week-Long Bitcoin Attacks Reveals Himself 71
An anonymous reader writes: A Russian man that calls himself "Alister Maclin" has been disrupting the Bitcoin network for over a week, creating duplicate transactions, and annoying users. According to Bitcoin experts, the attack was not dangerous and is the equivalent of "spam" on the Bitcoin blockchain servers, known in the industry as a "malleability attack," creating duplicate transactions, but not affecting Bitcoin funds. Maclin recently gave an interview to Vice.

'Tis the season when smiling choruses of admissions officers, tour guides and sundry administrators begin to sing of Harvard's virtues, the foremost of which, recently, is the diversity of its students and graduates. The College, they croon, produces poets and priests, musicians and physicians, athletes and artists. But nowhere is this resplendent diversity so evident as in the difference between two of its most prominent and successful alma libres, Al Gore '69 and Alan L. Keyes '72.
Of the two, Gore is more the Harvard type: a sensible and moderate, if somewhat stolid, liberal. Keyes, on the other hand, seems an unlikely product of late-1960s and early-1970s Harvard. After all, in Keyes' perfect world there are no abortions and no 16th amendment, and the wall between Church and State is a shoji screen.
But what is most remarkable about Keyes is his ability to win converts to his extreme conservatism via exceptional spiritedness and oratorical flair; in short, his charisma.
Nowadays, "charisma" has come to mean little more than "charm" or "attractiveness." It is in this spirit that a Seattle Times reporter recently dubbed the Indigo Girls a "charismatic duo," and the Minneapolis Star Tribune called Minn. Gov. Jesse Ventura "a man so charismatic, he can insult and inspire in the same breath."
Max Weber, who first developed the term, considered Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith and Martin Luther "charismatic," but would surely not have extended the honor to the Indigo Girls. For Weber, followers are drawn to a charismatic leader because of his extraordinary, almost god-like, personal qualities. By virtue of his heroic personality, the charismatic leader gives rules without regard to traditional authority ("It is written, but I say unto you") and commands total devotion from his disciples.
The best way to identify a charismatic leader, argues Weber, is to observe the effect he has on his followers. Keyes has had quite an influence over his. One devotee, in a letter distributed by Keyes' campaign to the "Keyes 2000" e-mail list, wrote that each time he saw Keyes in action he "came away with greater conviction that God has raised him up for such a time as this. Sometimes it seemed as though Dr. Keyes was another John the Baptist...a voice crying out in the wilderness or Gideon with his army of 300...or Elijah and the thousands who had not bowed down to Baal or David going up against the strong and powerful Goliath."
Charisma draws on personal magnetism--followers are drawn foremost to the leader himself, not necessarily to his ideas. For this reason, charisma is expressed more in oratory, direct communication from the leader to devoted (or potentially devoted) listeners, than in writing. Charisma itself is natural--some have a little, others a lot, no one can gain charisma through education alone--but insofar as charismatic authority depends on oratory, people can be educated to take advantage of whatever natural charisma they possess.
At one time, oratory was central to undergraduate life. At some schools, this tradition remains: Princeton's Whig-Clio, Yale's Political Union and Oxford's famed debating societies all host regular debates on campus, and a fair number of students participate.

Woes for the Hard in Heart
"I tell you that it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom than for you" (v. 24)- Matthew 11:20–24 "
Matthew 11 focuses on the rising opposition to Jesus' mission. Although John the Baptist's question about the Lord's true identity is not intended to oppose Him (because he does not go past doubt to unbelief, vv. 1–15), note that such doubting, if not handled properly, is the first step toward apostasy. Many religious leaders in Jesus' day go farther down this path and become outright enemies of John and Jesus (9:32–34; 11:16–19). Finally, as seen in today's passage, many common folk begin showing hostility to the Christ.
We have seen in the last few chapters examples of individuals who trusted Jesus and were blessed (8:5–13; 9:20–22). However, people like the Roman centurion and the hemorrhaging woman are not necessarily representative of the great crowds that have heard the Savior (8:1). These faithful people are the exception according to Matthew 11:20–24, not the rule. Jesus has done "mighty" miracles throughout Galilee (exemplified in the towns of Corazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum), but the populace as a whole has failed to repent.
That these villages have committed an especially heinous sin in rejecting Jesus is clear in their promised fate, which will be worse than that of three exceptionally wicked cities. The Old Testament prophets frequently denounced Tyre and Sidon (Ezek. 26–28; Zech. 9:1–4) for their worship of idols and for taking pride in wealth. Sodom's rampant wickedness is well-known (Gen. 19). The Galilee of Jesus' day may not be guilty of such evils, but their punishment on Judgment Day will be worse because, unlike Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom, they have seen that Jesus is the agent of God's salvation and yet have rejected Him. In this passage, our Savior tells us that greater knowledge brings greater responsibility. As Matthew Henry says, "The stronger inducements we have to repent, the more heinous is the unrepentance and the severer will the reckoning be."
Matthew 11:20–24 seems to teach us there will be degrees of punishment in hell. Although all unrepentant sinners will suffer for eternity, those who have been exposed to the Gospel and have rejected it will suffer more intensely than those sinners who have never heard (Luke 12:35–48).
Coram Deo
All of us are children of wrath from the moment of conception and deserve only eternal, conscious punishment for our sins apart from God's gracious renewal of our hearts to trust in His Son. Nevertheless, the sufferings of hell will be greater for those who know more of the Father's plan and character and yet remain in sin. No matter how difficult this may be for us to understand (Luke 20:45–47), the more we know, the more accountable we will be.
