The comedic sensibilities of Monty Python's Flying Circus are an acquired taste, blending high-brow wit with low-brow surrealism in order to create a chaotic slew of comedic gems. The tropes' last feature film together, 'Monty Python's: The Meaning of Life' (1983), differs from their previous (and utterly hilarious) efforts, 'The Holy Grail' (1975) and 'The Life of Brian' (1979), in that 'The Meaning of Life' eschews the use of a semi-coherent plot and instead replaces it with a series of sketches that all center around a general theme – in this particular case, the theme is (obviously) the 'meaning of life'.
Helmed by Python member Terry Jones, who directed most of the either Python's films, the various sketches and episodes featured in 'The Meaning of Life' are a great introduction to those who have made the mistake of going their whole lives without ever seeing the trope's original show or subsequent films, displaying their typical comedic sensibilities through a wide range of skits, non-sequiturs, and musical numbers.
The inclusion of musical numbers is perhaps the most notable feature of the Pythons' 'Meaning of Life'. Although Eric Idle (the trope's resident music man) has performed and written a number of songs for the Pythons before 'Meaning of Life', few of their earlier work included so many of them as their last feature film. And while most of the film's musical numbers might not be 'laugh out hilarious', Idle's performance of 'The Galaxy Song' and Michael Palin's rendition of 'Every Sperm is Sacred' are quite stirring and hilarious, not to mention well-written musical numbers in and of themselves.
Other memorable sketches include a pair of doctors (played by John Cleese and Graham Chapman) who attempt to impress a hospital administrator with a series of expensive and ludicrous machines, all the while ignoring a woman giving birth; an utterly surreal encounter with a drag-queen and a long-armed man asking the audience to "find the fish"; and the Grim Reaper paying a visit to a country house where a group of dinner guests argue with him during the course of a meal.
Probably the most notorious sketches to be included in the film is the "Mr. Creosote" sketch near the third act of the movie: Terry Jones, playing an obnoxious and overweight diner at a posh restaurant, proceeds to consume an inordinate amount of food, all the while insulting an unflappable waiter (portrayed by Cleese, a master at remaining utterly straight-faced no matter how ridiculous the situation) and vomiting into a number of buckets. The conclusion of the sketch – without spoiling it – is easily one of the most over-the-top examples of "gross out" humor ever caught on film (seriously, do not watch the sketch after eating yourself—you'll regret it).
However, while Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life' is certainly a great microcosm of their unique brand of comedy, it is far from being their best work. Most of the sketches are quite brilliant and funny, though the film does tend to muddle during the middle portion of the film, in particular during the film's series of "war-related" sketches which are, although full of Pythonesque humor, not the most memorable portions of the film.
Another misfire in the Python's film is the inclusion of a "second" film, entitled 'The Crimson Permanent Assurance' and directed by Terry Gilliam, about a group of elderly office clerks who usurp an office building and then sail it through the city like a pirate ship before they attempt to literally take over the main-film sequence. Although the sheer ridiculousness of the idea makes for a chuckle, the length of 'The Crimson Permanent Assurance' makes it more of a distraction than an inclusion, and takes the surrealism of 'The Meaning of Life' just a bit too far over the edge to be enjoyable.
Though by no means their best or most memorable work, Monty Python's 'The Meaning of Life' is still a wonderful comedy for those who prefer bizarre and sardonic humor over the more mainstream comedies of Hollywood, and is certainly worth a glance for those looking for "something completely different".
Find the nearest Blockbuster (assuming they still exist) near your home so you can rent this film almost immediately. Or, if you prefer that movies came to you instead, set up a Netflix account and start your ordering as soon as possible.

The Red Raiders will face No. 26 San Diego in the first round and either No. 30 Texas A&M or No. 9 Stanford in the second round. The winner advances to the ITA National Indoor Championships in Seattle, Wash., on Feb. 15.
The Red Raiders return home for a doubleheader on Feb. 9 when they take on Wichita State and Lamar.
Texas Tech will then travel to Louisiana for a pair of matches with No. 25 LSU and Tulane, before returning to Lubbock to host No. 67 Miami and No. 61 New Mexico.
On March 8, the Red Raiders head to Denver to face No. 57 Denver and Arizona before heading to the prestigious Blue Gray National Tennis Classic. The Blue Gray features a field of No. 29 Notre Dame, No. 38 Boise State, No. 43 Columbia, No. 70 Cornell, No. 73 Nebraska, as well as Troy and Williams & Mary.
The Red Raiders close out the non-conference portion of the schedule against three straight 2012 NCAA participants in No. 37 Fresno State, No. 34 Louisville and No. 17 Tulsa.
In Big 12 Conference action, Texas Tech will host No. 18 Baylor on Apr. 7, Oklahoma State on Apr. 12 and hold Senior Night against No. 10 Oklahoma on Apr. 14.
Texas Tech will close out the regular season on the road at TCU on Apr. 19 and at No. 27 Texas on Apr. 21.

Nov. 13, 2009
2009 Athletes In Action Classic
November 13-15 * Bank of America Arena * Seattle, WA
Game #1 * Postgame Quotes
Portland State Head Coach Tyler Giving
"Turnovers. You throw it away 19 times and you aren't going to win too many games. We got outrebounded 40-34. They got a lot of second-chance points. They were just a lot bigger and more physical than we were inside. With that being said, if we take care of the ball... We had our chances. OI thought we had a good game plan. We had a good scout. We knew their personnel. It is a little tough to scout the freshmen. I thought they did a nice job of exploiting us. We had to make adjustments. We talked about it at timeouts. We couldn't stop the dribble penetration. (Playing three games in three days) is not the worst thing in the world. We can take a lot from it. For us, it is a good thing to get three games under our belt and see where we are at. For us, what really matters is getting ready for league play. These are good teams. They are legitimate teams. They are talented. We just need to continue to get better.
Belmont Head Coach Rick Byrd
On starting out the season with a big win over Portland State:
"It's a great win for us. Portland State has proven how good they are in the last couple of years and I think they'll be right there again (this season). I'm very pleased and a little surprised because we're so young and have so many new people. We usually shoot it better than that and we're better inside, and we still managed to come away with the win, so I'm encouraged."
On the test of playing three days in a row:
"It is good because we can talk in March and say `we've done this' because we have to win our conference tournament. A couple years ago we started out in Cincinnati in one of these tournaments and beat them in the first night - and that is the year we almost beat Duke in the tournament - so it helps to talk about and build on these things.
"I don't know if I'd tell you on Sunday afternoon after we are dead tired, but it's great. For Washington, they need to win these games because they're thinking at-large down the road. For us, we're just hoping to be a better team when we leave here Sunday."

Hello There Beautiful
Thursday, March 17, 2011
For me, and other people, learning to love your body, no matter the shape or size, is difficult. I did things a little backwards though. At my heaviest, I felt beautiful. I could look in the mirror, and not be repulsed by what I saw. I knew I wasn�t healthy, and I was severely overweight, but I could still see beauty in myself. Then, I hit my wall and started my journey to where I�m at now. That included watching what I ate (eat), working out, and learning what I needed to do to achieve my longer-long term goal, how to do this the healthiest way, and also what I�m putting into my body and what I�ve done to my body. That last bit, the �what I�ve done to my body��THAT�S the sticking point. I�ve learned how much I�ve abused my body by allowing my drug of choice, food, to rule my life.
For months, every time I�ve looked in the mirror, I have felt disgust and not love. I look at my sagging skin that had been stretched out, and think �dear Lord, I�m going to have to have surgery to truly tighten everything.� I put on make-up, doesn�t help. I do my hair, doesn�t help. Somewhere along the way, I lost the ability to see myself as beautiful.
Things started to spiral down, and the darker my mood got, the more I hated my body. And I got angry. People have always pushed me to lose weight; to get healthy. NO one told me that I would have to re-learn how to see myself. That I would have to deal with some severe body image issues. I might have been fat, but by God I loved my body and who I was!
Then, I started to take control of my life again. I started to work out again, which helped with getting back on track, losing more weight, and feeling better/ happier. I started to watch what I was eating again. Measuring, and counting, and I joined Sparkpeople. And things started to turn around. I was able to connect with people who understood weight loss, what you go through, and healthy guides to get me back on track.
And yesterday, it happened. I was getting ready, and when I put my glasses on I looked at myself in the mirror. For the first time, in a very long time, I felt beautiful. And that feeling has carried over. I may not always love my body, but I feel beautiful again, and for that, I am very thankful

Thank you for sharing your 'moment' with all of us! I know exactly how you feel! I am so glad that you see yourself as beautiful again! I am all for looking and feeling great and even if you are not as healthy as you would like to be, you are getting there! Loving yourself and making sure you are worth the work you are putting in is so monumental to this whole battle! And we do have to learn to re-love ourselves after educating our minds about what we have done to our bodies, BUT it is doable and feeling great on the inside sure does help me! Keep on doing what you are doing and being the great motivator that you are!

"NO one told me that I would have to re-learn how to see myself." This one of the hardest parts of the journey. Thankfully, I love me just the way I am - thick or thin.
"... I felt beautiful." YES!

This is a fantastic blog! I've looked in the mirror so many times and thought...well, the positive and the negative actually...I can't say that I've loved my body when I've been heavy; it's been hard to find clothes that look good, fit well, look professional, don't look like a bag or are too tight, etc. And as I'm losing weight, I feel proud of my accomplishments but I also feel like I don't have cltohes that fit, I feel out of proportion, I'm feeling funky in my own skin...the mixed emotions! Who knew the journey would be so cerebral, to emotional? The part I didn't expect. Thanks for putting it into words and sharing what I've been feeling! Karen

The Royal Rumble combo at Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak | Photo: Julia Khoo
Abdul Malik Hassan, 41, is the third-generation owner of Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak. He shelved his pilot dreams to work on his family's business.
Abdul Malik's grandmother used to peddle banana leaf-wrapped nasi lemak (coconut-flavoured rice with selected dishes) on the streets of the former Kampung Siglap. Malik's father later opened a stall at Adam Road Food Centre, where it still operates now.
The current version of their nasi lemak has vastly evolved from the original: Selera Rasa's coconut rice is famous for its use of basmati rice, a pricey ingredient-switch done for health reasons. Both of Abdul Malik's parents were diabetic, and the basmati rice better suited to their diet since it has a low glycemic index. Abdul Malik also realised that the light, fluffy texture of this thin, long-grain rice gives the nasi lemak an exceptional texture. A long time was spent perfecting this recipe because basmati rice does not absorb coconut milk easily.
The hard work has paid off: the rice with the alluring, lingering fragrance is airy, fluffy, moist, with a subtle scent of coconut milk and pandan. It is the perfect base for their special blend of sweet-spicy sambal, and the addictive, crisp and well-marinated chicken wings.
Pick from a variety of combo sets ($2.50-$5.50), or go straight for the Royal Rumble ($5.50) which includes all side dishes (rice, sambal, egg, ikan bilis or fried anchovies, otah, fried fish, chicken wing and a bergedel which is a potato and chicken patty). This is truly nasi lemak fit for a king, or the Sultan of Brunei, to be exact: he orders and takes away packets by the dozens whenever he is in Singapore.
Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak is one of Singapore's 12 hawker heroes who could be pitted against celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay in SingTel's Hawker Heroes challenge. Vote for themhere.

On day one, contestants will have a chance to win Google's $20,000 prize along with the CR-48 running ChromeOS by hacking the company's Chrome browser. Participants will have to escape the browser's sandbox using vulnerabilities solely within Google-written code. If that proves too challenging, things will be tamed down on the following days. Event organizer ZDI will offer $10,000 for escaping the sandbox using non-Google code and Google will grant $10,000 for finding a bug in Chrome.
Competitors who successfully exploit Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox will bag a $15,000 cash prize as well as a laptop. Hackers will also get an opportunity to have their way with various mobile phone platforms including iOS on an iPhone 4, Windows Phone 7 on a Dell Venue Pro, Blackberry 6 on a Blackberry Torch 9800, and Android on a Nexus S. Successfully compromising any of those targets will secure the participant $15,000 in cash, the device itself, and 20,000 ZDI reward points.
It's worth mentioning that Chrome went unscathed during Pwn2Own 2010, while Safari, Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox were all compromised in the first day. Participants received $10,000 for exploiting browsers last year, so it should be interesting to see if Google's sponsored $20,000 cash prize leads to the exploitation of Chrome this year. That's quite the sum when compared to the company's usual $3,133.70 reward for discovering critical vulnerabilities in Chrome -- a bounty that is rarely claimed.

My understanding of derivatives is in the difference quotient limit sense... How does one interpret the meaning of a stochastic derivative? How can one possibly differentiate a random variable? What is its physical meaning, if it has any?

This question came from our site for scientists using computers to solve scientific problems.
As pointed out in the comments, there is some context missing in your question, so I'll just guess to fill it in: Let's talk about one-dimensional Brownian motion, which is a stochastic process: It is a family of random variables indexed by a continuous parameter, which is usually called "time" and is written as $B_t$.
Another point of view is that Brownian motion is a probability measure on a suitable set of functions. Since it can be shown that Brownian motion has continuous sample paths with probability one, we can think of it as probability measure on the set $C[0, T]$, the set of of continuous functions $$ f: [0, T] \to \mathbb{R} $$ In addition, one can prove that Brownian motion has with probability one sample paths that are not differentiable and not even of bounded variation. This means it is not possible to define a Riemann-Stieltjes integral with respect to the sample paths. This is why one needs to develop a new concept of an integral with respect to Brownian motion, for example the Ito or the Stratonovich integral. It is possible to give precise meaning to the expressions like this one: $$ X_T = \int_0^T f(t, x) d B_t $$ and prove (with appropriate assumptions for $f$) that there is a unique stochastic process $X_T$ satisfying this relation. These integral equations are usually abbreviated, with an abuse of notation, as $$ d X_t = f \; d B_t $$ but one has to keep in mind that the symbol $d B_t$ is actually undefined. Only the integral with respect to Brownian motion is defined in the Ito- or the Stratonovich calculus. This means that there is no "stochastic derivative", and that the notion of "velocity" is undefined for Brownian motion. There just is no room for the interpretation of a "velocity" in physical terms in the theory.

Cybergun Colt M1911 A1 Gas Blowback Pistol
July 23, 2011
Let me start off by saying that this here is one of the most accurate and detailed Colt M1911 airsoft replicas on the market, It has a decent, balanced weight to it and the full metal finish is superb. This gun features real Colt trademarks and their original 1897 patent. (Which in case you didn't know means Colt itself licensed this replica) Okay, now to performance. This gun fires at around 350 FPS with .20 gram bbs, a highly respectable velocity. I get around 2 magazines with this gun with one charge of Green gas. I might add that this gun is VERY accurate. So in conclusion, if you want a very well-made replica of the Colt M1911 that is both skirmishable and collectable, this is for you.

Since 1992, WF has led close to 50 expeditions and close to 1,000 people to Peru to experience the ancient initiation rite of the Hatun Qarpay.
Elizabeth Kapu`uwailani Lindsey, PhD Explorer, Anthropologist National Geographic
"Native Elders throughout the world are often forgotten. Thankfully, Elizabeth Jenkins provides an intimate account that explores the rich and unforgettable landscape of the Inka while safeguarding their wisdom" --
Les StroudSurvivorman
"Some time ago while producing Beyond Survival for Discovery Channel I found myself with Elizabeth Jenkins and Inkan elders, on a mountaintop in Peru. During ceremonies meant to connect us to Mother Earth, the Q'ero Priests seemed to move the clouds with a wave of their hands, weather creating and dissipating as if on incredible, magical cue. For me, it was spell binding. This is the power to connect in a spiritual, emotional, physical and energetic way with nature. Elizabeth has so generously designed a concise road map for our souls, to lead us to peace and harmony on this planet. Elizabeth's writings and teachings are needed now more than ever. Desperately.

Samuel Adams Triple Bock(RETIRED)
RATINGS: 1075 WEIGHTED AVG: 2.81/5 SEASONAL: Special EST. CALORIES: 540 ABV: 18%
Triple Bock is complex, elegant, and has the depth and complexity of a fine cognac, vintage port or an old sherry. Non-carbonated, ruby-black, and very special, Triple Bock should be sipped from a small snifter in a two-ounce serving. This is a beer to savor, and sip slowly. Triple Bock has a brandy-like warmth and a complex melange of fruity, woody, and toffee-like flavors. Let the aroma fill your mouth and nose with rich malt and fruit overtones. Savor and appreciate its enormous character. Serve Triple Bock as you would a fine sherry, at room temperature, in a small snifter. One bottle generously serves two or three. Recork and store standing up. Once poured into a small glass, the layers of aroma and flavor will continue to evolve as the deep ruby brew warms in the hand.
There have been only three vintages produced: 1994, 1995 and 1997, but bottles can still be found in the marketplace. 1994 and 1995 vintages are marked as such on the back label; 1997 vintage is not.

A beautiful, sweet mixed breed dog in Lake City, Fla., is in dire need of rescue or adoption.
The dog, described as a German shepherd/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, is blind and her time is limited at the county shelter for Columbia County.
The following information has been shared about this dog:
We have this sweet blind girl that is in desperate need of rescue!!! She appears to be a shepherd Rhodesian ridgeback mix but, I'm really not sure. She is sweet and gentle and deserves to get a new home!
Being in an animal control facility is frightening for any dog - a dog who is blind faces even more fear and confusion. Please take a moment to network on behalf of this sweet girl.

Solar-Powered Air Conditioners Not Tied to Grid
Green Power Resource Management (GPRM) plans to start volume production of its solar powered air conditioner and virtual power plant in its new manufacturing facility in Escondido, Calif.
The packaged unit provides cooling, AC power out, and backup energy powered directly from solar panels for residential and small commercial buildings.
The GPRM 100 solar powered air conditioner and virtual power plant runs directly off solar panels, a wind turbine, batteries or the AC power in a home or office. It also provides renewable energy to other devices like a TV, lights, refrigerator or a computer even when the grid is down.
"Typical solar installations are grid-tied and do not provide power when the grid goes down, said Ralph Ciarlanti, GPRM CFO. "Most customers do not know this."
Ciarlanti explained that the solar modules themselves are often powered by AC power coming in from the grid via a switching device at the master panel. It's somewhat ironic that solar panels can generate electricity, but often need a little grid power to operate.
The GPRM 100 introductory package includes: 13,500 BTU/hr cooling capacity (up to 1,000 SF depending on energy efficiency of structure), battery backup providing 450 Ah of power, and two plug-in receptacles providing 1,500 W/hr ac power out. Larger batteries and power options available.
GPRM's target markets for its patent pending environmental control system include residential and small commercial spaces such as offices, schools, off-grid applications such as military, mining and drilling, forestry, and telecom cell towers.
GPRM is using the Kickstarter crowdfunding method to help introduce the product.

It's high time that the HVAC Industry now has come up with both the portable and large SOLAR AI-CONDITIONING or COOLING Systems for residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial applications, both in the United States and abroad. This should revolutionize the energy efficiency & renewable energy performance significantly for Solar Cooling
Dr. Arun Jhaveri/Seattle @ 206-920-4851 (cell/mobile)
Great innovation. It is about time that every household where practically possible should be grid-independent.
Brisbane, Australia.
What a great innovative development that will help us to unshackle ourselves from the vultures (electric power utilities). I believe this does not sit well with power companies. Indeed, it's about time innovations of this sort start making the power companies that they cannot take people for a ride and for granted forever.
Are these Solar-Power Airconditioners also capable of providing space heating? If not, would there be future considerations to build-in a heat pump?
With a slight modification the units can provide heating. We are evaluating whether to release that version in this model or the next major product release. Comments appreciated.
I am thrilled by this progress and a new gateway of possibilities. Thank you.
If the price is right, I bet a lot of cottage/camp owners would like one. I would even though I am on the grid. It is annoying paying customer fees for being connected and yet hardly using much electricity.
Are you looking for representatives? Would love to market, install and maintain your product in Florida and Puerto Rico. How could I contact you?
i need to know how they work in day and how they work at night
how much backup hours they give at night?
as im working in middle east and i am planning to install solar powered AC in residentail buildings
so please help me out to know how they work in off grid system at night and backup hours?
It's about time ! Solar powered off grid cooling is a no-brainer for warm climates.
Thanks for finally writing about >Solar-Powered Air Conditioners Not Tied to Grid | Energy Manager Today <Liked it!
How do we get updates or follow-up information on this product through to its mass production/manufatcure and release into the market?

Ground Beef Recall: Cargill Meat Recall Linked To E. Coli
Ground Beef Recall: Cargill Meat Recall Linked To E. Coli – With the egg recall still fresh in our memory, now we have to deal with a beef recall as well. Cargill Meat, a Pennsylvania manufacturing firm is now recalling around 8,500 pounds of beef. The beef is ground beef, and was sold in various BJ's Wholesale Club locations across the United States. Individuals that have consumed the beef have fallen ill with E. Coli, and health officials have warned that a lot of the contaminated meat has already been purchased.
This will likely fuel the decade-long debate over the safety of ground beef. When Oprah Winfrey expressed her distaste for the beef industry in 1996, she was sued by manufacturers and was forced to endure months of court appearances. Then, in 2008, "Food Inc." was released that showed the food industry in a very bad light.
Of course, that hasn't stopped Americans from purchasing and eating ground beef nearly as regularly. Hamburger is the number one culprit for E. Coli infection, and some are calling on the government agencies to step up to the plate and increase the precautions that companies must take when preparing ground beef.
Ground Beef patties are generally the leftover meat from the cow, and even though they may be labeled as "sirloin," there is no real way to tell what part of the cow the meat comes from. The way that ground beef is produced makes it a likely candidate for infection. It will be interesting to see how the string of recalls, along with the popularity of the recent documentary "Food Inc.," change the shape of the food industry.

I am recovering from an E Coli infection, diagnosed roughly two weeks ago. I find this article VERY interesting considering this last two weeks has been hell. Thanks beef.

DEAR DR. GOTT: My wife follows your column in our local newspaper. She read about placing a bar of soap under the bedsheets, but needs more explanation. She suffers a lot of pains and seeks whatever help is available.
DEAR READER: The soap-under-the-sheets remedy is very simple. Place an unwrapped bar of soap under the bottom bedsheet nearest to the affected area. Some readers have had success using wrapped soap, as well. It was originally recommended for nighttime leg cramps but has also been found to be beneficial for other nighttime aches and pains in other areas, such as the shoulders, feet, back and neck. The soap may need to be replaced once in a while, say every three to six months, but it still retains its cleaning ability so it does not need to be thrown away. I suggest your wife try it since she has nothing to lose other than her pain.

Tyler Schuelke / For The Courier
Kenyth Mogan: He's gone from Glasgow to Disney World to Los Angeles and the release of a five-track EP.
Seven years after moving to Los Angeles, Glasgow native Kenyth Mogan is taking his first steps into the musical spotlight with the release of his debut EP, "Fall Apart."
The five-track EP consists of two covers and three original songs with the title track co-written by producer Tony Rodini and Mogan. Other songs on the EP include "One Worth Losing," written by up-and-coming pop singer Todd Michael Shultz, and a cover of Julie Brown's 1987 novelty hit "I Like 'Em Big and Stupid."
"I had a good time growing up in Glasgow," Mogan told The Courier. "It's a great place and most of my family is still there. I graduated in 2002 then went off to Missoula for college. I worked for Disney World in Orlando then moved out to LA the day after I graduated college."
In the summer of 2007 his first book, a manga-style graphic novel called "The Phoenix Chronicles: Awakenings," was published and he did a few minor film and web series roles.
"I came back into music after Todd Michael Schultz (another pop singer) introduced me to his producer, Tony Rodini (from the band New Country), and everything just kind of fell into place," Mogan said. "I've been very lucky in the fact that I have people like A'me Lorain (a singer who had a hit in 1991 with 'Whole Wide World') and Romi Dames (an actress in 'Hannah Montana') who have really stood beside me and encouraged me with trying all this out."
The EP came out on Oct. 1 and can be ordered through http://www.KenythMogan.BandCamp.com. The first single, "Fall Apart," has gone out to stations all over the country, and has been played on KLTZ, which Mogan said is "awesome."

The weather might not be cooperating lately, but if the calendar is to be believed, Summer in Baltimore is just around the corner. For me, that usually means humiliating myself on a softball field, flinging myself down the Potomac River in a water tube, and amassing an impressive collection of big floppy hats to wear to Wine Festivals. What can I say? I'm a redhead that burns easily.
And June is just busting out all over with festivals in our area!
June 5 and 6, 19 and 20, and 26 and 27 is the Solstice Celebration at Cygnus Winecellars. This free event explores the Celtic traditions of the Solstice and features the delicious Cygnus wines.
Every Thursday between June 10 and September 9, head up to Boordy Vineyards between 4 and 8 for their "Sustainable Happy Hour." This farmers' market features local musicians, locally grown foods, and Boordy wines for sales and sips. If you can't make it on Thursdays, the summer concert series kicks off on June 12. Check out the Boordy Events page for more information on both of these.
Great Grapes returns to Oregon Ridge Park on June 12 and 13. A two day ticket is $35 in advance online, while a single-day pass is $20 in advance or $25 on-site. Additional ticket options are available for designated drivers, and kids 12 and under are free! Pack a picnic and a couple of lawn chairs, and enjoy the music, arts, crafts, and wine of some of Maryland's best.
The next weekend (June 19) brings Wine by the Water, a fundraiser for the Downtown Baltimore Family Alliance. From 2-6 in the afternoon, you can enjoy wine samples, live music, food, a silent auction, and a children's craft tent all at West Shore Park in the Inner Harbor (between the Maryland Science Center and the Baltimore Visitor Center). Tickets are available now at aMuse Toys in Fells Point, Ladybugs and Fireflies on Charles Street (cash only please at both locations) or online. Advance tickets are $25 for DBFA members and $30 for non-members. These both bump up an additional $5 on the day of the event. Children 12 and under are free, those between 13 and 20 (and Designated Drivers) are $10.
Finally, if you want to mix a little history with your drinking, head up to Dove Valley Winery the weekend of June 26 and 27 for their Civil War Encampment weekend. Arts, crafts, and live artillery demonstrations! Seriously, who could ask for anything more?

The Mustangs kick off a three-match homestand Friday night against UTEP at 7 p.m. SMU will also host UCF on Sunday at 1 p.m. before wrapping up the regular season against Tulsa on Nov. 26 at 1 p.m. UCF and UTEP both beat the Mustangs on the first weekend of conference play, while SMU ended Tulsa's 26-match conference winning streak earlier this season, all on the road.
SMU enters the weekend having won five of its last six matches at home and is 7-3 in Moody Coliseum this season. The Mustangs are one of the top defensive teams in the NCAA, as well as Conference USA, led by senior Sidney Stewart and junior Courtney Manning. SMU is 18th in the NCAA and second in C-USA in blocks with 2.75 per set, led by Manning's league-high 1.45 per set, 10th in the NCAA. SMU is also second in the league and 30th in the NCAA with 17.34 digs per set, led by Stewart's 4.99 per set, second in C-USA and 51st in the NCAA.
UTEP comes into the match 19-11 overall and are tied with SMU at 9-8, but are just 5-6 on the road and 3-5 in road conference matches. Xitlali Herrera leads the team and is eighth in the conference with 3.29 kills per set. She also has a team-high 126 blocks and is second on the team with 2.47 digs per set.
UCF enters the weekend 18-10 overall and one match ahead of SMU in the conference standings at 10-7. The Knights have won five of their last six matches after starting the conference schedule 5-6. Angelica Crump leads the team and is third in the league with 4.28 kills per set. As a team, the Knights are second in hitting percentage, .243, and kills per set, 14.10.
The Mustangs are 18-8 all-time against the Miners and 6-2 all-time against the Knights. SMU has won eight of the last 11 against UTEP, but lost 3-2 in El Paso earlier this season. The Knights earned just their second win against SMU in a series which started in 2005 with a win in the first conference game of the season for the Mustangs.
Dana Powell became the first player at SMU to have at least 1,500 kills and 1,500 digs in a career. With 12 kills at Rice on Nov. 13, the senior has pushed her career total to 1,502 (2nd at SMU). She is also second in shcool history behind teammate Sidney Stewart with 1,596 digs. Powell is one of just six players in school history with at least 1,000 in each category. Erin Pryor is the only other Mustang with more than 1,500 kills, setting the school record with 1,789 in 1999. Only three players have more than 1,500 digs in a career.
Sidney Stewart became the first Mustang and fourth player in Conference USA history to record 2,000 digs in her career. With 27 at UAB on Oct. 16, Stewart pushed her career total to 2,008. The senior currently has 2,167, third all-time in C-USA and is just two digs from climbing to second. Stewart set the school record as a junior, finishing her third season with 1,593 digs. This season, she is third in C-USA and 51st in the NCAA with 4.99 digs per set. Stewart also set the SMU record for digs in a match with 42 against Alabama, one shy of the C-USA mark.
In 2011, SMU has established itself as one of the top defensive teams in the league once again. The Mustangs are second in the conference and 18th in the NCAA with 2.75 blocks per set and second in the league and 30th in the country with 17.34 digs per set. Courtney Manning leads C-USA in blocks and is 10th in the NCAA with 1.45 per set, and Sidney Stewart is third in the conference in digs and 51st in the country with 4.99 per set.
Six Mustangs have combined for 45 double-doubles this season. Senior Dana Powell leads the team with 19, and had a string of six-straight starting Sept. 25 at UTEP until Oct. 9 against Tulane. Kelli Becerra has 17, and freshman Savannah Myklebust has three double-doubles. Kendrick Koch recorded the first two of her career against ECU and Marshall and added a pair against Southern Miss for four total. Courtney Manning and Jessica Oliver each have one.
Kelli Becerra became the second setter in SMU history to achieve at least 4,000 assists and 1,000 digs. She has 1,229 career digs, ranking sixth all-time at SMU and first among setters at the school. The senior is second all-time at SMU with 4,112 assists, one of just five Mustangs to have at least 3,000 assists. She is only the second player in SMU history and 17th player in Conference USA history with at least 4,000 assists.
Courtney Manning broke her own SMU single-season blocks record with 10 blocks against Houston on Nov. 11, giving her 164 on the season. She now has 167 total blocks this season, which is second in the NCAA. As a sophomore, Manning had 162 total blocks. Manning has 457 career blocks, ranking third in school history. Jessica Oliver is fifth with 402. The career record at SMU is 530 blocks, set by Kendra Kahanek from 2006-09. In Conference USA history, 21 players have achieved at least 400 blocks.
The Mustangs have four seniors leading the charge in 2011. Dana Powell, Jessica Oliver, Sidney Stewart and Kelli Becerra have combined to go 58-35 over the past three seasons. Each of the four seniors has already written their name in the SMU record book. Stewart owns the career digs record (2,167), Powell is second in kills (1,502) and digs (1,596). Becerra is second in assists (4,112) and sixth in digs (1,229) and Oliver is fifth in blocks (424). The 2010 senior class won 74 matches, more than any other graduating class in program history.
SEIFERT WINS 250th MATCH
With SMU's 3-1 win at Houston, Lisa Seifert earned her 250th win as a head coach, all at SMU. Seifert started the program in 1996 and has been the only head coach. She has a 250-238 all-time record and set a school record with 25 wins last season.

STANFORD, Calif. - A total of 47 Stanford-affiliated athletes (46) and coaches (1) will represent the United States and six other countries at the Games of the XXIX Olympiad to be held in Beijing, China from August 8-24.
In addition to the United States, Stanford athletes will also represent the countries of Austria, Brazil, Canada, Kenya, New Zealand and Tunisia. Of the 46 Stanford-affiliated athletes that will be competing in Beijing, 11 are current student-athletes.
Four years ago at the Summer Games in Athens, Stanford was represented by a total of 42 athletes and coaches who combined to win 17 medals, including three gold, seven silver and seven bronze. Stanford's medal count for the 2004 Summer Games was just four shy of the school-record 21 medals picked up by Stanford athletes at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, France.
Stanford will be well-represented in the water sports, with 21 athletes competing in the sports of swimming (8), water polo (7) and rowing (6). Stanford associates will also be competing in the sports of women's basketball (2), cycling (1), men's soccer (2), women's soccer (3), softball (3), tennis (2), track and field (6), men's indoor volleyball (2), women's beach volleyball (1), women's indoor volleyball (2) and wrestling (1).
Eight Stanford associates representing five different countries have qualified for the Olympics in swimming. Current women's Stanford team members Elaine Breeden (100 and 200 fly) and Julia Smit (4x100 and 4x200 free relay), along with Ben Wildman-Tobriner `07 (50 free, 400 free relay), punched their tickets to Beijing at the U.S. Olympic Trials earlier this month in Omaha, Neb. Four current Stanford men's swimmers--David Dunford (Kenya), Jason Dunford (Kenya), Philip Morrison (Brazil) and Markus Rogan (Austria), along with Tobias Oriwol '06 (Canada)--will also be in Beijing.
Stanford will also be well-represented in water polo, with seven current and former athletes occupying spots on the United States team. On the men's side, Tony Azevedo '05, Layne Beaubien '99, Peter Hudnut '03 and Peter Varellas '06 will lead the U.S. team in its quest for a gold medal, while Stanford alums Alison Gregorka '07 and Brenda Villa '03 along with Cardinal senior Jessica Steffens will compete on the women's team. Azevedo and Villa will captain their respective teams.
Six Stanford alums will be competing in track and field. Ryan Hall '06 is one of America's top hopefuls in the marathon after winning the Olympic Trials in New York's Central Park last November with a time of 2:09.02. Ian Dobson '05 qualified for the 5,000 meters on the strength of his third place finish at Olympic Trials in Eugene. In the field events, Jillian Camarena '05 and recent alum Erica McLain '08 will be competing in the shot put and triple jump, respectively, while Michael Robertson '07 will compete in the discus. In addition, Leila Ben-Youssef '04 will be representing Tunisia in the pole vault and Arantxa King '11 will be representing Bermuda in the long jump.
In volleyball, national team veterans Logan Tom '03 and Ogonna Nnamani '05 hope to lead Team USA to its first medal since 1992, when it secured a bronze medal in Barcelona. Gabe Gardner `99 and Kevin Hansen '04, MA `05 have earned spots on the men's team, which is ranked third in the world behind Brazil and Russia. Gardner will be making his second Olympic appearance and Hansen his first. Kerri Walsh '00 and partner Misty May-Treanor, the world's top-ranked beach volleyball team, will look for a repeat of their gold medal-performance of four years ago in Athens.
Current Stanford women's basketball player Jillian Harmon, who helped the Cardinal to an appearance in the national championship game this past season, along with recent graduate Clare Bodensteiner '07, will compete for New Zealand.
Rachel Buehler '08 and Nicole Barnhart '05 are part of a talented U.S. women's soccer team that will look to capture its second straight gold medal and third overall since 1996. Ali Riley, who will return for her junior season at Stanford in the fall, will be competing for New Zealand.
A pair of former Stanford men's soccer players -- Simon Elliott '98 and Ryan Nelsen '00--have earned spots on the New Zealand National Team which will be included in the same group as host China, Brazil and Belgium. A former midfielder for Fulham in the English Premier League, Elliott played two seasons at Stanford and earned third team NSCAA All-America honors in 1998. Nelsen was the Pac-10 and NSCAA Player of the Year in 2000, helping the Cardinal to a quarterfinal appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Former Stanford softball players Jessica Mendoza '02, MA `03 and Lauren Lappin '06 will help Team USA in its quest for a fourth straight Olympic gold medal. For the second straight Olympiad, Stanford softball head coach John Rittman will serve as an assistant coach on the United States team.
John Gall '00, Stanford's all-time career leader in hits, doubles and RBI, will be competing for Team USA in the baseball competition. Gall becomes the sixth Cardinal baseball player to compete in the Olympics.
In tennis, Bob and Mike Bryan '98, currently the No. 2 ranked doubles team in the world, will make their second Olympic appearance after advancing to the quarterfinals in the doubles competition four years ago in Athens.
In rowing, a pair of Stanford alums -- David Banks '05 (men's four) and Jamie Schroeder `05 (men's quadruple sculls) will join current student-athletes Elle Logan (women's eight) and Lindsay Meyer on the U.S. team, while Adam Kreek '06 (men's eight) and Sabrina Kolker '03 (women's pair) will represent Canada.
Matt Gentry '05, who won Stanford's only individual NCAA wrestling title as a junior in 2004, will compete for Canada in the 74kg freestyle, becoming the program's first male Olympian.
Christine Thorburn, who earned her M.D. from Stanford in 2002, will make her second Olympic appearance in cycling.
Two Stanford coaches -- Heather Olson `99 (synchronized swimming) and Yasmin Farooq (women's rowing) -- will also be on hand in Beijing working as color analysts for NBC. Head men's basketball coach Johnny Dawkins is also serving as Director of Player Personnel for Team USA.
Fans can follow the progress of Stanford athletes in Beijing at gostanford.com beginning August 1.

Too often, horses are expected to drink foul, smelly water laden with litter. But fresh, clean water is essential to your horse's health. Thankfully, there are simple ways to help keep drinking water in the stall, barn, and pasture clean, debris- and toxin-free, and delicious.
your horse's water needs
Horses, like humans and other animals, need water above all else to survive. Generally, a horse at rest should drink at least one gallon of water per day for every 100 pounds of body weight. But every horse is different. For instance, an active 1,200-pound draft horse may need more than 12 gallons of daily drinking water. Similarly, a 700-pound Criollo on lush, green pasture may need slightly less than 7 gallons of water per day. Regardless, there are several factors that can alter your horse's water needs, including:
the benefits of water
Dehydration prevention is especially important during the warmer weather of spring and summer. Serious cases of dehydration have killed horses in as few as two days. The signs of dehydration include an unjustifiable loss of body weight, fever, increased breathing rates, lethargy, a lack of appetite, dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes, and a decreased ability to perform.
simple ways to provide cleaner, fresher water
There are a variety of ways to offer water to your horse.
Water buckets, water troughs, automatic waterers, and more help ensure a supply of water is always available to your horse. However, keeping your horse's drinking water clean and fresh is often a much more difficult task. The following tips will help ensure your horse's water is always as clean as possible:

2012 Election Predictions: What We Can Expect From President Obama
From Bob Siegel's column, Forbidden Table Talk on Communities@Washington Times.com
Originally written: May 8, 2012
No political satirist can resist the temptation to make election year predictions. True, some of these predictions are so easy; they could be made by a trained chimpanzee.
Nevertheless, my crystal ball is now out of the attic and dusted off for all to see:
The initial strategy
President Obama will not run against Mitt Romney. He will instead run against George W. Bush. Why not? It worked in 2008 when he ran against Bush rather than McCain. In fact, good ol' George has been Obama's default setting ever since he took the oath of office.
The next time people complain about high gas prices, Obama should simply remind us of all the mileage he has gotten off our former president.
Presidential debates
In the debates, every time Romney mentions our bad economy, or the high number of individuals who have given up looking for work, Obama will simply smile and remind "the American people" that he inherited this mess from his predecessor.
This is not to say that Bush will receive credit for everything. When it comes to another inheritance, namely the Bush built intelligence/security apparatus responsible for nailing Osama Bin Laden, there will be precious little discussion about our former Oval Office inhabitant.
On that note, when Romney talks about Obama apologizing for America overseas, Obama will reply by saying, "I got Osama Bin Laden."
When Romney talks about diplomatic gestures offered toward the Holocaust denier, Iranian President Ahmadinejad, Obama will reply by saying, "I got Osama Bin Laden."
When Romney expresses concern about a time table announcement for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, or deals made with the vicious Taliban, Obama will gently remind Romney that he "got Osama Bin Laden."
Selecting a running mate
Joe Biden's gaffs are too numerous to list. But even if Obama only remembers the time Biden told Katie Couric about how President Roosevelt went on TV to discuss the stock market crash, he is undoubtedly motivated to jettison this goofy second banana.
Still, amputating Biden from the ticket may call Obama's 2008 decision making skills into question, so such drastic action will probably not be taken unless Obama drops dangerously low in the polls. Should that happen, watch for a female running mate, maybe Hillary, maybe somebody else.
This way, the myth that Republicans are on a "war against women" can be exploited by offering deliverance from this ominous predicament. The real war against women perpetrated by the Taliban, whom Obama now makes deals with, will be conspicuously omitted.
There is also another benefit to a female running mate: Obama surrogates can suggest more than racism as a reason for not reelecting the president. Sexism charges can join forces and create a double barreled accusation. When reminded about 2008 GOP nominee Sarah Palin, pundits will explain that she did not count as a true woman. She was too conservative, too religious, and well, just too stupid!
Her high approval rating as an Alaska governor will be left out of the conversation.
Campaign rhetoric
Obama will never grow weary of his favorite parable. He will continue to talk about "going forward and not backward" using the "Drive" and "Reverse" settings of cars as an illustration.
Since Democrats are better at quick, mindless, coined phrases than Republicans, we may not hear Mitt offer a matching response such as, "Well, Mr. President, if a car is about to go over a cliff, it might be prudent to put it in reverse just as fast as possible."
If the election is close but Obama loses…
Watch for Obama's spokespeople to talk about election fraud. We will hear that African-Americans and Latinos were disenfranchised in many places and not allowed at the voting polls.
If Romney wins by a landslide…
We will hear that the American people were simply not mature enough to handle their first black president. America will be painted as if slave plantations and Jim Crow laws have made a twin comeback.
If Obama wins…
Calling Obama a Socialist will not be viewed as "inflammatory rhetoric" anymore. With both elections behind him, we will see the private sector taxed like a mammal being sucked dry by a parasite. Government officials may forget that most parasites cannot survive without leaving the host alive.
Our country will go the way of Greece.
We will still be called "The United States of America", but that may be the only familiarity.
Postscript: I made another prediction in the original version of this article about Obama deciding to endorse same-sex marriage. I was correct about his decision to endorse it, but incorrect as to the timing which I guessed would be after the election. Here are my original words of May 8:
His 'evolving position' on same-sex marriage will finally reach fruition. He will now officially endorse the practice. After all, most Latino and African-Americans (many of whom voted for California's Proposition Eight) will have already re-elected him.
There will no longer be a fence to straddle.
NOTE: His latest position does include qualified remarks saying it is a matter best left to the states, so he may still be trying to have it both ways.

Parting ways with an incumbent VP worked well TWICE
for President Franklin Roosevelt.
In 1944, Vice President Henry Wallace was stunned
when FDR dropped him, by remote control, with a
series of phone calls to key delegates in Chicago.
FDR made those calls from his private Presidential
train — which was parked inside Camp Pendleton (!)
right here in San Diego county.
Harry Truman was nominated and elected with FDR
in Nov 1944. 5 months later Truman was President.
In 1940 it was a mutual divorce, as VP John Garner
opposed FDR's renomination for the top job. FDR
was re-elected that year too.
In VP Joe Biden's favor is that he did pretty well
in his one TV debate with Sarah Palin, a formidable
foe, in 2008.
Here is another viewpoint of the Obama presidential race – chilling.
"The planned re-election of Obama, revolutionary style"
Lee, your hat order is complete. Sorry it took so long to make. I ran out of my top secret coating that really helps keep out the RF waves as well as the new gamma-laser rays. Yes, 1 part WD40 and 2 parts Turtle Wax is more than just a make-shift salad dressing! It works wonders blocking military satellite transmissions.
Anyway, I am writing to you on SDRostra because it is far more secure than cell phones these days. We wouldn't want information like the data contained in this article about Obama to fall into the wrong hands.
Anyway, come over to my secure compound, knock three times, and then yell the secret phrase (which is "Fletcher is Raymond Shaw"), and I will open the screen door to and give you your new hat. Come after 6 though because I really hate interrupting Springer.
And good luck on your Central Committee run, Lee!
IRONY: An anonymous commenter satirizes someone who uses their real name, of being a conspiracy nut
You're right. It was completely unnecessary to satirize this person as a conspiracy nut. The piece speaks for itself.

My suggestion would be to perhaps have more, shorter pieces ready to fill in the gaps as the long pieces get researched and written. Just a thought because this post was very good and I would hate to think that it was going to be the only one. https://blogs.oracle.com/bifoundation/entry/oracle_bi_server_modeling_1-_designing_a_query_factory#comment-1300085919000 Re: Oracle BI Server Modeling, Part 1- Designing a Query Factory travail internet rémunéré 2011-03-14T06:58:39+00:00 2011-03-14T06:58:39+00:00 You certainly deserve a round of applause for your article and more specifically, your website as a whole. Very high subject. https://blogs.oracle.com/bifoundation/entry/oracle_bi_server_modeling_1-_designing_a_query_factory#comment-1298815674000 Re: Oracle BI Server Modeling, Part 1- Designing a Query Factory resimleri 2011-02-27T14:07:54+00:00 2011-02-27T14:07:54+00:00 This is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
