The Department of Energy's Stimulus Loans Went to "Junk" Grade Investments and Firms That Spent the Most Lobbying
Study details the role political connections and lobbying played in securing loans
December 3, 2013A new Reason Foundation study finds 22 out of 26 projects were rated as "junk" grade investments before they were awarded taxpayer-backed loans as part of the Department of Energy's Section 1705 loan program, which was part of the 2009 stimulus bill that focused on renewable energy, electric power transmission, and biofuels projects.
The report also highlights taxpayer-backed loans given to companies with ties to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, former Vice President Al Gore, former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, and a company founded by former Maine Gov. Angus Reid, who is now a U.S. Senator. According to the Reason Foundation study, the companies that spent the most on lobbying received the biggest Section 1705 loans.
"These projects were rated by credit rating agencies as junk investments with a high likelihood of failure, but the Department of Energy didn't seem to care because it was giving loans to the firms that were well connected or were spending the most on lobbying," said Julian Morris, vice president of Reason Foundation and co-author of the report.
The Reason Foundation report also questions why 83 percent of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's Section 1705 loans went to solar energy projects, with wind receiving 11 percent of the funds.

Lobbying, Cronyism and Section 1705 Loan Guarantees
Why the Department of Energy should stop guaranteeing loans for green energy projects
December 3, 2013Why did the Department of Energy (DOE) systematically make loan guarantees to companies that are financially unsound? This study shows that many recipients had close ties to those in charge of approving the loan guarantees. Moroever, the DOE appears to have allocated funds broadly in proportion to applicants' lobbying expenditures. In other words, it is likely that loan guarantees were allocated not on the merits of the projects but, rather, according to the degree to which the applicants were able to use political connections. Worse still, by encouraging private investment in unduly risky projects, the DOE's diverted money away from more sustainable projects that might actually result in environmental improvements.

Toledo Officials Tout Public-Private Partnership in Solid Waste Collection
November 27, 2013, 1:40pmI'm always on the lookout for examples of policymakers explaining how privatization helped them deliver benefits to taxpayers. Unfortunately, there are too few examples. But this great promotional video produced by Republic Services does just that, using first-hand testimony from local officials in Toledo, Ohio, where since 2011 Republic has provided solid waste management services under contract (via an agreement with Lucas County).

Burns According to the National Safe Kids Campaign, accidental injuries are the leading cause of death among children ages 14 and younger. And, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), burns and fires are the fourth most common cause of accidental death in children and adults, and account for nearly 4,500 adult and child deaths per year. The key to reducing childhood burn injuries is prevention. The severity of the burn depends on:

To protect your child, it is important to understand the types of burns and the most common causes of burns. Practice fire safety and burn awareness at all times. Teach your children how to avoid sources of burns and what to do in the case of a fire. Should your child be burned, emergency care may be necessary. | |

Comments about Sugoi Firewall 220 Zip Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
Just as with the Firewall 260 which i also boght, the thing was brand new and the stitches started braking. The thread used is very thin, cleary not strong at all. No wonder given that Sugoi has a paltry 30 day guarantee on their products, vs. Pearl Izumi, Marmot and others that have lifetime guarantees. Also, for a rather thick, somewhat heavy cold weather jacket, it fits a little too snugly - and i'm slender - not giving much room for layers underneath.

Comments about Sugoi Firewall 220 Zip Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
It's "pro fit" which means it didn't work for me with my belly, was too tight, but if you have flat abs its a nice jacket. Its very snug and form fitting for maximum aerodynamics in the cool weather but no room to grow.

Comments about Sugoi Firewall 220 Zip Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
This jacket is amazing. I use this to run in anchorage winters on the multipurpose trails. I run this jacket in anything colder than about 30 deg. It really regulates the moisture and heat well. It dries as I'm running. I have tried to use this jacket with other base layers and have settled on the med zero top from sugoi both are made from what feels like the same kind of stretchey fast drying stuff.
I'm a little bummed that it doesn't have a chest pocket for music.
There is on the inside a place where the pockets are sewn into the back of the jacket that will hold it but then I can't pull out my iPod easily on the run to change the music.
Not a big deal I will just make better playlist.
Best Uses
Comments about Sugoi Firewall 220 Zip Jacket - Men's - 2011 Closeout:
I use this as an outer layer for urban bike-commuting, and it works great for cold weather. Blocks the wind and light drizzles well, and has longer sleeves and tail to keep you covered while hunched over on the bike.
It does fit pretty snugly, though--very athletic cut, which works well for me (5'8", 150lbs)--but might not be great if you need more freedom of movement. For example, I wouldn't try to run or hike in this--it's too tight. But you can still easily put an extra thermal layer, like a down vest or light fleece, under it if you need extra insulation. On most days (down to 40ish degrees), I just go with a baselayer and this, and I'm fine.

It seems as though everywhere I look in the media I see Recapsof the good, the bad and the ugly of 2012 so I thought it fit to throw out my own two-cents worth. (Scroll down for current report).
Generally, in the big picture, weve had a phenomenal year in Los Cabos. 2012 kicked off nicely with the Striped Marlin hangin around for us on our side (San Jose) late into February and even longer further south and west out in the ocean. School tuna and dorado cooperated throughout the spring and provided a nice addition to our steady near-shore winter fishery which we perfected (by necessity) during the ice-cold air and subsequentlyf rigid water temps of Winter10.
Although I personally spent much of late spring in Panama and the bulk of the summer in Alaska (our other hubs) our crews and those of many other charter companies kicked some serious behind and kept the clients smiling. But then comes my favorite time of the year in Baja FALL. Not only is it a welcome reprieve from the 110, 16-hours days we just finished working up north, its a 180 degree change in course from the frantic, butt-busting schedule and pissed-off at times seas to the Mexican Way. Ashamedly, Im just now starting to enjoy the Mexican Way, here at the start of my second decade down south.
It seemed to me to still be hot enough to cook eggs on theside walk in early October but the fishing more than made up for it. The dorado were thick, some big marlin (early) and tuna (all fall) and even the skipjack had teeth. We didnt do quite as well as last October when the day before the Bisbee B&B we released a Blue that would have won the tourney and the day after the awards dinner released a Black that would have won as well (no fish tale). This year however, Hurricane Paul thoroughly destroyed fishing for both of the big October tournaments and will go down in history as having caused more havoc on water than it did on land. Thats a blessing though for those of us who depend on the local infrastructure to survive.
Big, middle and small tuna were plentiful enough throughout the month of November (and much more than that) to keep our minds off the fact that the striped marlin were taking their time heading south in the warmer than normal water off the coast. Then, about mid-late Nov. we started missing lures that were tied to the ends of our lines. Sometimes, you just see your trolled line back there just waving in the breeze dont even SEE a bite. But, the telltale curly cue at the end of 300lb. mono is just like Paul Harvey telling, The REST of the story. Starts with a W and ends with a pair of Os.
To make a little more sense of my ramblings, we operate charter boats and businesses in three locations along the eastern Pacific coastline (Panama still a work in progress). Some are seasonal and some year-round, depending upon fish migration patterns and our planets climate. I feel like the quintessential snowbird my winter is most folks summer and vice versa. I never have to spend more than 50% of face value while shopping for apparel in North American stores because as summer ends and clearance sales begin I need summer clothes, and again vice versa for winter. At times the same goes for gear, thank Goodness.
The wahoo are still here mixed in with plenty of dorado along the coast on both sides of the PLC marina. Striped marlin have made the corner our way and multiple release days are now happening east of the arch as well as west. Any day now our inshore fishery will kick in to supplement our currently stellar sierra fishing and this should provide plenty of grouper and snapper (to name a few).
Thanks to all of you who have contributed to our success and we hope to see you again at one of our Pacific destinations soon. Happy New Year!

Cameron Levins wins 10,000 meters
DES MOINES, Iowa -- Canadian distance star Cameron Levins owned the recent Summitt League meet, winning the 800, 1,500, 5,000, and 10,000 meters to give Southern Utah a staggering 40 points.
Levins gave the Thunderbirds something much bigger Wednesday night, becoming the school's first NCAA champion.
Levins won the 10,000, holding off Arizona's Stephen Sambu by 2 seconds to win in 28 minutes, 7.14 seconds. Levins played it calm until the final lap, running his last 400 in 58.1 to become the first Southern Utah track athlete to win an NCAA individual title.
"That was the big goal for me. I wanted to leave them with that. They gave me the opportunity to run and improve. I am so thankful for that and to give back to them," Levins said.
Levins's landmark race highlighted the Wednesday session of the national outdoors, which is typically a light schedule loaded mostly with semifinals.
There were only six titles on the line. But Oklahoma's Brittany Borman went for two of them -- and won the javelin at 184 feet, 7 inches.
Nebraska sophomore Chad Wright took the discus at 206-0, and Texas' Marquise Goodwin won the long jump at 27-0. Stanford's Katerina Stefanidi won the women's pole vault at 14-7¼ as favorite Tine Sutej of Arkansas cleared just 13-11¼ and San Diego State's Whitney Ashley took the discus at 196-10.
Wright's winning throw in the discus came shortly after he noticed a small insect in the ring, which helped calm him down.
"I was so focused and then I saw it and I said, 'Hold it, there's a bug in the ring.' And I was laughing when I said it and it just relaxed me," Wright said.
Borman, the school record holder in both the discus and the javelin, took home her second consecutive championship in the javelin. But while the rest of the top eight was honored at midfield, Borman was back out at the discus.
Borman didn't fare as well in the discus, although she wasn't expected to. Borman failed to qualify for the final with a throw of 172-2, though defending her javelin title more than made up for it.
"I've been surrounded by a great team, great coaches, so I felt like they really prepared me for it," Borman said.
Duke's Curtis Beach, second in the decathlon a year ago, also competed in two events -- the 800 and the long jump. But Beach finished 16th out of 24 runners in the 800 and missed the final in the long jump.
Many expect the women's team title race to come down to either LSU or Oregon -- though Texas A&M can never be counted out since it's won the last three in a row.
The Tigers and Ducks both shone in semifinals on the track.
LSU's 400 relay team qualified first in 42.68, followed by the Aggies, and star sprinter Kimberlyn Duncan was first in her 100 heat in 11.11. Oregon's Anne Kesselring, the defending champion in the 800, qualified in 2:02.66 despite finishing second in her heat in part because she got boxed in by the rail.
"I went out too slow, which kind of surprised me. I feel like I was maybe a little bit asleep. But then I woke up and just gradually moved up and really attacked on the home stretch and it worked out for the best," Kesselring said.
The Florida men are going for their first outdoor title after finishing second four times since 2004.
Sprinter Tony McQuay ran a promising semifinal for the Gators by clocking in for the 400 at 44.67, which was more than a second faster than the time he posted to win the NCAA indoor meet earlier this year.
Texas A&M's men also have won the last three NCAA outdoor titles. The Aggie men are favored along with the Gators and Florida State, but they could be in trouble.
Sophomore Prezel Hardy Jr., counted on by Texas A&M for major points in the 100, failed to make the final. Hardy finished fourth in his heat in 10.11, missing out on the final spot by 0.02 seconds. Hardy had the fastest time of the year among the NCAA qualifiers, running a 10.03 in winning the Big 12 championship.
The Aggies women also suffered a major setback, as star Ashley Collier ran an 11.33 and finished fourth in her heat, 0.04 seconds out of the final qualifying spot.
Auburn's Harry Adams qualified for the 100 final in 9.96, the fastest qualifying time in the history of the outdoor meet.
Boise State's Kurt Felix leads the decathlon through five events with 4,187, just 10 more than Gunnar Nixon of Arkansas. The decathlon wraps up on Thursday, and unlike in 2011 it should be able to be finished by then.
California's Michael Morrison won the event a day later than scheduled and in an empty stadium because of heavy storms that forced a number of delays. But weather shouldn't be a problem this year, with temperatures expected to be in the high 80s with no rain in the forecast.

What You Won't Find in the Paper on Health Care Repeal Hypocrisy
The Billings Gazette reported this weekend that most Republican lawmakers opposing federal health reform are also signing up for government health plans.
What they didn't report is this interesting exchange between Sen. Kendall Van Dyk (D-Billings) and Sen. Art Wittich (R-outer Gallatin County area). Van Dyk asked Sen. Wittich about the appropriateness of attempting to repeal the health care bill for Montanans, while taking advantage of taxpayer funded health insurance for legislators.
Sen. Wittich responded that if people are concerned about having health insurance they either become so poor as to be eligible for Medicaid or try to work for the state of Montana. Medicaid is the state program that pays for the elderly and disabled as well as the very poor: to be eligible as an adult in Montana, you'd have to make less than $6,000 per year. And yeah, all one million people in the state are going to work for state government?
You'll also want to read Ed Kemmick's take on the matter. My favorite part:
Hypocrisy is alive and well in the Legislature. The same Republican majority that is beating its chest over promises to eviscerate federal health care reforms has no trouble accepting generous health insurance benefits from the state of Montana.
Some mobile users will have better luck viewing the video here.

Two explosions rocked the finish line of the Boston Marathon this afternoon, leaving at least three dead and dozens injured, the Boston Police Department reports.
The explosions happened in quick succession four hours after the beginning of the race, the world's oldest and one of the most prestigious road races in the world. At that point, the majority of 27,000 runners had crossed the finish line. Thousands, however, were still out on the course.
Critics of "Generation Y" say they're lazy, disloyal, selfish, spoiled and need instant gratification. Others (like PrincetonOne, one of the top 10 job recruitment organizations in the country) say Millennials are independent, confident, ambitious and optimistic.
Curious about how "Millennial" you are? There's a Pew Research Center quiz for that.
Many energy company executives are afraid to talk about oil, according to Continental Resoures CEO Harold Hamm.
"Energy has treated Oklahoma so well," said Hamm speaking at the Governor's Energy Conference last fall. "A third of production comes from Oklahoma. That's tremendous."
Building new markets for Oklahoma energy products is a goal of Gov. Mary Fallin's energy plan.
Several speakers at the Governor's Energy Conference praised Fallin's administration for developing a plan for the state energy sector.

Federal aviation officials have ordered that more than 1,000 Boeing 737s be examined to see if a key part on the plane's tail section needs to be replaced, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued the airworthiness directive for a pin that holds the 737's horizontal stabilizer to the rest of the tail, to see if it is in danger of failing prematurely. The horizontal stabilizer — also known as the tail plane — enables the pilot to control the aircraft's pitch.

It's widely known that the world's icecaps are melting. While most people are focused on what we're losing, some have considered what might be gained by the disappearance of all that ice.
In 2008, the U.S. Geological Survey released a report estimating that 13 percent of the world's remaining undiscovered oil and 30 percent of the remaining undiscovered natural gas could be in the Arctic.

Well, you have until 11:59 p.m. Monday to get it all done — or at least file for an extension that gets you off the hook until Oct. 15. To help all of you procrastinators, here are answers to a few of your questions.
If I'm filing by mail, can I come skidding into the post office at 11:58 p.m. and still make the deadline?

A precious package arrived at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last Thursday afternoon.
Inside, packed in dry ice to keep it frozen, was a vial containing millions of viruses derived from a 35-year-old Chinese housewife who died last Tuesday of respiratory and kidney failure.
The board overseeing the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum has been given more time to see if it can develop a plan to fix its funding problems. In July of last year, construction on the partially completed structure was halted when lawmakers failed to approve a $40 million bond proposal that would have been matched by a similar amount in private donations.

[02.08.09] Blood Boil Range Reduction
[02.11.09] Devs Working on Fixing "Diseaseless" Specs
[02.15.09] Blood Plague HoT removal to be "looked at"
[02.17.09] Blizzard working on "equalizing" DK Talent Trees
- Blood Gorged now grants armor penetration instead of expertise.
- Sudden Doom – this talent now procs a Death Coil rather than requiring an additional button click. It works similarly to shamans' Lightning Overload.
- Pestilence – this spell no longer causes damage but just spreads diseases. Blood Boil is intended to be the general area attack, and has been changed to be castable on targets with no diseases on them, but does extra damage if diseases are present.
- Blood Boil range reduced.
- Unbreakable Armor now absorbs a flat amount of damage that increases as your armor increases. It no longer boosts armor.
- The Frost tree has been shuffled. Among other things, PvP talents such as Endless Winter are closer to the top of the tree where Blood and Unholy death knights can access them.
- Magic Suppression and Blood of the North have been reduced to 3 ranks for the same benefit.
- Gargoyle and Unholy Blight have swapped talent positions. Gargoyle's damage has increased and runic power cost per time has decreased.
- What do they mean when they say the Frost tree will be shuffled?
- Will the Blood Boil changes prompt a change in the glyph as well? (Probably)
- By how much has the range of Blood Boil been reduced?
- How much Armor Penetration will Blood Gorged grant?
- What will be done to encourage the usage of diseases for all Death Knight specs?
Points of Discussion
- Will the change to Sudden Doom make Blood rotations easier to manage?
- How much of a nerf to specs like 0/32/39 was the repositioning of the Gargoyle? How much DPS will be gained by picking up Unholy Blight? Will Unholy dps see a noticeable increase from the changes to the Garg?
Changes listed in italics are the most recent additions.

Izabella Scorupco Movies
As a child,
Izabella Scorupco
silently watched her loud-mouth cousin hog all the attention at family gatherings. As an adult, the cover model-turned-pop diva-turned-screen siren never goes unnoticed.
was born on June 4, 1970, in Bialystock, an industrial town in northeast Poland, to Madgelena and Lech Scorupco. Her mother, a doctor, and her father, a jazz musician, divorced when she was one (her father died 18 years later). In 1978,
and her mother relocated to a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. There,
took various singing and acting courses and began composing her own plays, which she would bully her classmates into performing. From ages 12 to 13, she visited a Catholic convent to study French. Though she claims to have spent most of her time there frequenting nightclubs, French is one of several languages that she speaks fluently.
's big break came at 17 when Swedish film director Staffan Hildebrand stopped at her school while on a promotional tour. Determined to get the filmmaker's attention,
bombarded Hildebrand with questions and then convinced him that the plot of his next film -- about a child of divorce who wants to travel north to see her father -- mirrored her own life experience. Impressed, Hildebrand cast her in the film, 1988's
Ingen Kan Älska Som Vi
There Is No Love Like Ours
), which made her a teenage idol.
After graduation,
traveled throughout Europe, acting in television commercials and modeling (she even appeared on the cover of Italian Vogue). In her spare time, she would sing with friends who were musicians and eventually decided to make a record. In 1989,
released the
-inspired song "Substitute." The single went gold in Sweden, along with its album, IZA (released in the States as Independence by IZA). In 1991, she followed up her success with a second album and the pop single "Shame, Shame, Shame."
That same year,
returned to acting for the television miniseries V Som I Viking (The Single Mother). She also met and fell in love with Polish ice hockey player Mariusz Czerskawski. In 1994, after
finished filming her role in the medieval drama
Petri Tårar
The Tears of Saint Peter
) (1995), Czerskawski began playing for the National Hockey League and the couple relocated to the United States. Barely a year later, the actress made her Hollywood debut as Bond girl Natalya Fyodorovna Simonova (a Russian computer whiz determined to save the world) opposite

On Christmas Day in 1996,

gave birth to their daughter, Julia. The actress then returned to Poland to star in

According to medieval legend, the "Tears of Saint Peter" is a strange elixir said to be able to heal and restore the dead to life. Using the concoction, Carla devises an ingenious plot to rob a wealthy mayor in this Swedish comedy-drama set in the late 15th century. Disguising herself as a man, whom she calls Carlo Marcellini, Carla wants to use the potion to bring back every townsman who has died over the previous ten years. Unfortunately, she falls in love with the mayor's son who makes her promise to also resurrect his beloved, late fiancee. This is a rather randy film and features medieval orgies and full-frontal male nudity. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Planned for years, but plagued by problems such as the death of director John Frankenheimer before production had even begun and the exiting of star Liam Neeson, the fourth installment of the Exorcist saga finally got off the ground with Paul Schrader (Affliction, Auto Focus) behind the camera and Stellan Skarsgård filling the shoes left empty by Neeson. But the pitfalls didn't stop there, as Morgan Creek decided against their initial approach assigned to Schrader after seeing his finished cut, and hired Renny Harlin to reshoot the film with extra gore and head-spinning nastiness. The first prequel in the series, Exorcist: The Beginning is based upon events occurring before the first film. Playing the character made famous by Max von Sydow in the earlier films, this entry finds Skarsgård as a young Father Merrin facing true evil for the first time in Africa in the wake of World War II. When a young local boy begins to behave strangely, it becomes more and more apparent to Merrin that the child is a victim of demonic possession. Boasting a first-time screenplay by best-selling novelist Caleb Carr (The Alienist), Exorcist: The Beginning features a supporting cast headed by Izabella Scorupco (GoldenEye) and James D'Arcy (Master And Commander). ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Twenty years later, the adult Quinn (Christian Bale) is the fire chief of a refortified castle community, responsible for dousing the blazes lit by the dragon's prodigious number of flame-spewing offspring, airborne juggernauts that have wreaked havoc across the globe, torching civilization and turning humans into an endangered species. Hope arrives in the form of Denton "Dragon Slayer" Van Zan (Matthew McConaughey), an American known to be the only man to ever kill one of the dragons, and Alex (Izabella Scorupco), a scientist/pilot who's a member of Van Zan's army, a zealous fighting force that includes a secret weapon: the Archangels, paratroopers using themselves as bait to attract and then dispatch the deadly beasts. Reign of Fire (2002) co-stars Gerard Butler, Alice Krige, and Alexander Siddig. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Family differences and personal grudges add drama to an already tense situation as the lives of a team of mountain climbers hang in the balance in this action drama. Peter Garrett (Chris O'Donnell) and his sister Annie (Robin Tunney) are the children of Royce Garrett (Stuart Wilson), an avid outdoorsman and climbing enthusiast who died when an accident left all three hanging from a single rope; Royce ordered Peter to cut him loose to save the lives of his kids, even though he knew it would mean his death. Years later, Peter has given up climbing and become a respected nature photographer, while Annie, who holds Peter responsible for her father's death, is a famous world-class mountain climber who is hired by Elliot Vaughn (Bill Paxton), a self-made billionaire, to help him scale K2, a mountain in the Himalayas that's the second-highest peak in the world. In the midst of the climb, dangerous weather strikes, and Elliot, Annie, and their crew find themselves trapped in a cavern that's been sealed tight by an avalanche. Peter, who is near K2 working on an assignment, quickly organizes a crew of expert climbers to save Annie and the other mountaineers, who must work under a tight deadline before the trapped climbers run out of air. Peter's partners in the rescue include beautiful medic Monique (Izabella Scorupco), radical climbers Cyril (Steve Le Marquand) and Malcolm (Ben Mendelsohn), disciplined Pakistani crewman Kareem (Alexander Siddig), and Montgomery (Scott Glenn), an eccentric outdoorsman who has a score to settle with Elliot. While backgrounds were shot on location in Pakistan, most of the climbing sequences in Vertical Limit were actually filmed on mountain ranges in New Zealand. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Pierce Brosnan made his first appearance as James Bond in this action thriller, the 17th in the series (excluding the 1967 Casino Royale and the 1983 Never Say Never Again) featuring the suave British super-agent. As the story begins, Agent 007 and his partner, Agent 006 (Sean Bean), pull a daring raid on a chemical weapons plant in the Soviet Union; however, they are captured by Russian troops, and while Bond is able to escape, 006 is not so lucky. Several years later, the Soviet Union and the Cold War are a thing of the past, but Bond is still at work ferreting out evildoers everywhere. Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), a beautiful but vicious villain working with the Russian Mafia, spearheads the theft of the controls to GoldenEye, a high-tech satellite weapons system, and with her gunmen, she kills most of the soldiers and guards at a top-secret military facility in the process. Bond joins forces with Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco), one of the base's few survivors, to help track down Onatopp's minions and the controls to GoldenEye, which can destroy all electronic circuits in a given area in a matter of seconds; however, in time, Bond discovers the true identity of the criminal mastermind who is behind this bid for unholy power and world domination -- none other than Alec Trevelyan, the man Bond once knew as 006. In addition to Brosnan, GoldenEye also marked another significant cast change for the Bond series -- Judi Dench made her debut as M, Bond's superior. Minnie Driver also has a cameo as a nightclub singer. Sadly, this was the last film in the Bond series for special-effects supervisor Derek Meddings, who died in the midst of production; the film was dedicated to him. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A lavish historical epic that (on a budget of $8.5 million) was the most expensive Polish film ever at the time of its release, Ogniem I Mieczem/With Fire and Sword is based on a classic Polish novel by Henryk Sienkiewicz concerning political and social turmoil from 1647 to 1649. Cossacks are waiting to strike Poland on the Eastern border that neighbors the Ukraine, the nearby Tartars and Turks are waiting for the opportunity to attack Europe, and the Polish ruling class is busy feuding among themselves. A daring Pole named Jan Skrzetuski (Michal Zebrowski), meanwhile, is vying for the hand of beautiful Helena Kurcewicz (Izabella Scorupco, best known for her role in the James Bond film Goldeneye), against heavy competition from Ukranian Bohun (Alexandr Domogarov), to whom she is already engaged. Helena's aunt and guardian, however, cancels the wedding plans, and an enraged Bohun attempts to kidnap her. One of Jan's associates, Zagloba (Krysztof Kowalewski), foils the plot and whisks her away to the Castle of Bar, but Bohun is not to be denied; he storms the castle, taking Helena and leaving Jan and his men to find her, just as the Cossacks and the Tartars have joined forces to sack the nation. Ogniem I Mieczem/With Fire and Sword was the first in a trilogy of novels by Sienkiewicz, but, ironically, was the last to be filmed by director Jerzy Hoffman. The final book in the series, Colonel Wolodyjowski, was adapted for the screen by Hoffman in 1969, while the second, The Deluge, appeared in 1974. A low-budget Italian version of With Fire and Sword was released in 1961. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Guayakí's MARKET-DRIVEN-RESTORATION business model directly links our customer's purchases to our partner farming communities in the South American Atlantic Rainforests. Guayakí's partners sustainably harvest organic yerba mate from rainforest grown cultivations and reforestation projects, generating a renewable income stream which enables these communities to improve their lives and restore their lands. Learn more here.
Revel Berry has a delicious raspberry and blackberry flavor. It's easy drinking and clean tasting, and not too sweet.
The bottled mate drinks are more 'juicy' and 'earthy' and come in glass bottles. The cans have a lighter and brighter flavor.
NO. But, they are under minimal pressure so the cans maintain integrity when shipped.

Not in the traditional sense, but many people experience energy from drinking mate as well as clarity of mind. Each can has 150 mg of caffeine, which is equivalent to a cup of coffee.
Mate has the strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate. Yerba mate is made from the naturally caffeinated and nourishing leaves of the celebrated South American rainforest holly tree (Ilex paraguariensis).

Guayaki Revel Berry
Guayakí Yerba Mate is a high energy infusion made from the leaves of the celebrated South American mate tree. For centuries, South America's Aché Guayakí tribe have sipped yerba mate daily from a traditional gourd for its powerful rejuvenative effects. These rainforest people find tremendous invigoration, focus and nourishment in yerba mate and revere it as the "drink of the gods". Guayakí's mission is to steward and restore 200,000 acres of South American Atlantic Rainforest and create over 1000 living wage jobs by 2020 by leveraging our Market Driven Restoration Model.
BevNET Review: The Revel Berry flavor of Guayaki's canned yerba mate line is a pleasant mixture of USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified ingredients including yerba mate, sugar, hibiscus, yumberry juice, and organic flavors. The product's flavor is like an exotic twist on raspberry iced tea, with the biggest difference coming from the earthy flavor of the yerba mate. It's smooth and clean, lacking the grassy flavor that you get from steeping your own cup of mate. Like the other canned offerings from Guayaki, this variety has 150 mg of natural caffeine per can, making it a pretty potent pick-me-up as well. The can features the same great format as Guayaki's other two canned varieties. In this case, the red accent color and illustration of a person are effective in terms of both catching the eye and helping the product achieve its authentic look. We're definitely fans of what they've done. Overall, a really well executed product that manages to be both mainstream and true to Guayaki's roots.
The uplifting and nourishing choice of health-minded individuals, yerba mate boasts 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids and abundant antioxidants. Yerba mate is also known for its adaptogen-like qualities, which include reducing the effects of occasional stress. Of the six commonly used stimulants in the world, yerba mate, coffee, tea, kola nut, cocoa and guarana, yerba mate, with naturally occurring caffeine, triumphs as the most balanced, delivering both energy and nutrition.

I am a YouTuber and I saw a video from ijustine and she is always promoting Yerba. I decided to order it one day (Revel Berry, mind you). It took about 4 days to get here. When I first tasted it, I won't even lie. I didn't like it because where I come from we love our tea super sweet and it wasn't as sweet. Well, I had ordered 12 cans so I had no choice but to drink it. By the time I had finished the first can, I reached for another. And another. The next thing I knew, I was down to 3 cans. I'm drinking one of them now but I just ordered another case. I don't know what it is but I'm addicted to this taste. I don't have enough to last me until the next shipment gets here and I'm freaking out. This is probably (no it is) the best drink in the history of drinks. I recommend it to anyone. Even if you like super sweet tastes like me, order it because it has the perfect amount of sweet and tart and you will get addicted.

I ordered several products and the Revel Berry was one of them. My teen-age son liked the Revel Berry quite a bit. I prefer the bottled juices. I think I would have liked this product better with some carbonation. It didn't have the complexity of flavor which the bottled juice product had.
Thanks to Ijustine, I discovered the best drink in the world, Revel Berry yerba!! I recieved mine in the mail today, extremely fast shipping and an amazing product. I love you guys.

Revel Berry is a fantastic mate drink for the beginner to the novice. It lends itself well to those who typically don't care for the strong flavor of brewed mate or gourd mate. The berry flavors instantly burst on the palate with sweet berry goodness.

Ever since I was introduced to yerba mate I have stopped drinking the overpriced coffee drinks. I love the Revel Berry flavor and the convenience of ordering it online; sometimes my local store is sold out. I'm a fan for life and I can't wait to try the other flavors.

Have never found any energy drinks that I care for until now. I find the flavors are very good. Its sweet, but not so sweet that I get a headache. Its definitely a step down in yerba mate taste, but the flavor is still there. I also didn't feel a energy crash after the caffeine wore off.

Winter is upon us, which means that cashmere sweaters - a staple of holiday gift-giving and cold-weather fashion - have returned to store shelves. Those planning to purchase a garment boasting the label "100 percent cashmere" can expect a hefty price tag; at Banana Republic, one cardigan is priced at $198; elsewhere, you can find cashmere sweaters for upward of $500. Why is cashmere so much more expensive than other kinds of wool?
Its costly production process and scarcity. Cashmere comes from the soft undercoat of goats bred to produce the wool. It takes more than two goats to make a single two-ply sweater. The fibers of the warming undercoat must be separated from a coarser protective top coat during the spring molting season, a labor-intensive process that typically involves combing and sorting the hair by hand. These factors contribute to the relatively low global production rate of cashmere - approximately 30,000 pounds a year compared to about 3 million pounds of sheep's wool.
The name cashmere comes from an old spelling of Kashmir, the region where its production and trade originated, possibly as early as the Mongolian empire in the 13th century. According to historian Michelle Maskiell, author of "Consuming Kashmir: Shawls and Empires, 1500-2000," from the 1500s to as late as the early 1900s, Iranian and Indian emperors used Kashmiri shawls in political and religious settings; in the Mughal Indian courts, for example, the acceptance of a shawl from a political figure established a hierarchy between the giver and the receiver.
In the late 18th century, Scottish textile manufacturer Joseph Dawson discovered shawls made from cashmere in India and began to import the material to his factory in Scotland. Dawson sold shawls to upper-class British women who prized the fabric for its softness and warmth. (High-quality cashmere can be up to eight times warmer than sheep's wool despite its light weight.)
But not all cashmere is equally luxe: The texture, color and length of the fibers all affect manufacturing and pricing. Naturally, whiter cashmere fibers require less dye, diminishing the damage that coloring causes to its natural softness. Quality also depends on the region in which the wool is collected. In Inner Mongolia, for instance, the winters are harsh and the goats have a more meager diet, which produces the finer hair seen in the highest quality garments. Still, even the best raw material can be compromised by a sub-par finishing process. The fineness of a cashmere item comes down to that process, as the spinning and weaving of the fabric affects the look, feel and touch of the final product.
China is the largest supplier of the raw material needed to make cashmere wool, but Europe has mastered cashmere manufacturing methods, and has cornered the market on premium quality products.

Hunter's Moon
- ‹ Previous program
- 288 of 2171

Just as thunder follows lightning and sunset follows sunrise, the Hunter's Moon follows the Harvest Moon. The Moon is full at 3:02 p.m. Central Time, so the Hunter's Moon will cast its silvery glow across tonight's sky.
The names for the full Moons come from several sources. Many come from American Indians, who tracked the seasons and the years by the appearances of the full Moon. Others come from various regions of Western Europe. And some were used by both. To some extent, that's the case with both the Harvest and Hunter's moons.
The Harvest Moon comes around the time of the fall equinox -- the harvest time for mid-northern latitudes. In bygone days, farmers used the extra light to harvest their crops well into the night.
The Hunter's Moon is the next in the sequence. Its light helped hunters track game across the barren fields. So both full Moons played an important role in the everyday life of villages and families.
Today, though, not so much. Most modern farming is on a much larger scale, and more automated. And in most of the United States and Western Europe, hunting is more of a sport than a means of survival. So the light of the full Moon is a convenience, not a necessity.
No matter what the era, though, the full Moon is always a beautiful sight. Watch it tonight -- looking orange or gold as it rises around sunset, then casting its brilliant glow across the landscape during the night -- the glow of the Hunter's Moon.
