The event runs from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 24 at Saint Edward State Park, 14445 Juanita Drive N.E. in Kenmore. Skandia Folkdance Society presents a traditional Swedish celebration of the summer solstice, recreating authentic activities practiced in Sweden for centuries.

Meet Phulwa. She is 19 years old and unlike any other girl in her dusty little village. She works as a mechanic helping her father, Ram Prasad, at his ramshackle garage on the highway.
One dark night, a car breaks down on the highway. A city-wala pushes the car to Ram Prasad's garage and is surprised to see Phulwa there. "You're just a girl, how can you fix a car?"
Phulwa stands up for herself. "I'm the best mechanic in this whole village. I'll show you."
But Phulwa's village doesn't have electricity and without it, she can't repair the car, not even with her expert jugaad skills. Embarrassed and angry, Phulwa decides that enough is enough. Young men from her village have been leaving for the city in droves. There is no enterprise here and everything shuts down at dusk. It's time for things to change. She's going to find a way to bring electricity to her village.
She hunts down information and with the help of Kumar discovers a village a 100 kilometers away with light. This village generates electricity from a biomass gassifier plant. This is Phulwa's solution, but she can't do it alone. She needs to get the people in her village to contribute money to construct the biomass plant. But how will she convince Gayatri, the sarpanch (village head) to support her? Especially when Gayatri's scheming husband is intent on sabotaging Phulwa's plan? And how will she convince the villagers, who have long since given up on the dream of electricity?

Hello everybody I'm Gerri Willis well remember the good old days when we thought that this guy was our biggest problem -- the General Services Administration.
Turns out the GSJ's misuse of taxpayer money goes far beyond Jeff mealy.
Record bonuses lavish conferences continue even after the top leadership resigned.
Congress grilling GSA officials again today on Capitol Hill Tom Schatz president of Citizens Against Government Waste says it's taxpayers who -- getting burned now.
He joins me Tom welcome to the show again.
Would you think -- hearing today in front of the transportation committee.
It's about time.
It's been going on for years congress has failed and its oversight responsibilities.
As someone finally caught on to what was happening in GSA -- -- one of the underlying problems with GSA is that.
They've been overcharging other agencies for their services for years 300 million dollars and kind of a slush fund over the last five years.
No wonder they're handing out more bonuses than any other agency in proportion to their size.
And throwing these lavish conferences -- How -- they get away with -- over charging it seems to me that.
Other agencies would one have been to be paying less money.
Well absolutely they create this multiple award schedule which is a pretty good service they're the buying office of the government so they.
Consolidate all the buying power and it.
Usually is a pretty good deal but then they charge a fee to the other agencies for that service they're only supposed to recover their costs that they've been.
Taking in an average of sixty million dollars extra.
Each year for the last five years.
And congress needs to change that formula and -- -- other well.
You know I really -- knew about this agency every single day.
And you said there at the buying agency for the federal government to -- this spending agency for the federal government.
I -- a lot of talk today about payment of bonuses.
As well as these conferences and we've focused on the cautious cop conference -- how how big they are how lavish they are.
But in fact I keep asking myself.
Why are they having all these conferences.
Well that's certainly -- point in other organizations where they -- is a financial problem and certainly the federal government is pretty much going broke.
One of the first places people start cutting back -- travel and conferences.
The Obama administration to its credit and its budget -- let's cut 10% congress wants to cut more.
GSA itself has cut back or so they say and yet they're still throwing this conference in Nashville it's -- Line and on and on and hide in that and the Nashville conference boy does this get me fired up.
At the grand Ole opry apparently there are thousands.
Employees there there was an interesting exchange today -- for the transportation committee that starts with that I want you to hear it.
Over 6000 now rounds at the Gaylord it it Nashville.
I understand the presidential suite is occupied today is -- TSA employee in the presidential suite.
I do not know it's over 3000 dollars a night.
You don't know I don't know after the president issued his executive -- we found out there were 77 more conferences around the nation.
I to question the taxpayer wants answered is.
Why are these agencies ignoring the president of the United States.
Not only that but they -- new management in place by the time most of this happen.
What's going on their watch it this is -- corporate this is a culture a government culture.
Run amok.
Again and I think the underlying reason is this sense of entitlement because they bring in all this extra money that congress cannot control.
Because it's based on charge from the other agencies for this service on the award schedule -- congress needs to change that formula.
They need to put into place in this spending bill for GSA.
Thank strict limit on conferences.
And make sure that they adhere to those limits.
Yeah we -- talking about bonuses before.
They had 44 million total bonuses.
In fiscal year 2011.
That is I believe 10% of all the bonuses.
There it -- the number of workers they have their workforce is just 1% of the entire federal government.
Completely out of whack why is it taken us so long to find this out and you know.
It would like this in these Republicans are all over this because it's a great campaign issue.
But what what -- front -- some of this stuff and fix it before it hits the headlines.
That's exactly the right question -- because congress has always.
Fail to perform sufficient oversight.
And there are multiple.
Agencies -- -- the same job.
-- duplication that could total almost 400 billion dollars a year the GAO has issued two big reports on duplication and overlap.
Congress has done nothing.
To change how any of those programs are administered or paid for so they are clearly.
At fault because they're in charge of the purse strings and the taxpayers money.
And they just don't get out front it's always after the fact though we're so sorry this happened herself.
And -- I get a vote for November because now it's a campaign -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The the agency itself GSA is saying that they're reviewing all these bonuses.
The awards system that's been as so well publicized.
They're looking into this themselves hoping to make changes to it.
Could happen soon enough again Tom thanks so much for your time.

Smart GWT combines the industry's richest set of GWT UI components with a Java server framework to provide an end-to-end solution for building business web applications.
All the Power of True Ajax
Enterprise Grade UI Components
Smart GWT delivers the broadest and deepest set of UI components available.
Our amazing grid components have out-of-the-box support for everything a true
enterprise-grade application needs: users can edit inline, freeze columns, sort by multiple

Device-aware components automatically switch appearance and behavior to mimic typical mobile UIs.
Want more control? Gesture & orientation change events, as well as native functions like phone dialing are all there to let you fully tune the mobile experience.

Wednesday evening marked the official opening of the AWC Wine Academy. More than thirty VIP clients joined us in the new space for a night of first class education, stellar wine tasting and a bit of friendly competition. After many months of hard work by our staff, it was with great pleasure that we christened the facility with this inaugural event. After a glass of 2004 Franck Bonville Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru (our house champagne) and a few canapés in our reception area, we retired to the Wine Academy for the lecture and tasting portions of the evening. Tim Atkin, MW presided over the exclusive event and joined us in sampling all of the wines blind. As well as a Master of Wine, Tim is a frequent contributor to many wine publications, is a regular on BBC 1's Saturday Kitchen and is a fabulous presenter.
Above: The tasting stage is set...
The theme of the tasting was 'Grand Cru Wizardry' and it was aimed at addressing the historic founding and modern role of the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. Many changes have occurred over the last 150 years and a lot of wine has been made, sold and drunk in the intervening period. Châteaux have been bought and sold and properties have made both good wine and bad. Reputations and prices have risen as well as fallen. The question we wanted to address with the tasting was whether the 1855 Classification is still relevant today. In coordination with the educational component, for all tastings in the new Wine Academy we like to ignite a bit of fiery competition. The goal of this particular challenge was to determine, from the choices given, the correct vintage and appellation for each pair of wines. So, after a complete and informative lecture about the history of the ranking system by Tim, we started in on the tasting.
The format was simple. We had 8 wines in front of us in two rows. Each set had two vintage choices associated with it along with the choice of any of the northern Left Bank appellations (no Graves, Sauternes/Barsac or Haut-Médoc were included in the tasting). Additionally, per the evening's theme, guests were also asked to ascertain which of the wines was ranked - according the 1855 Classification - higher than the other.
Right: Tim Atkin, MW prepares for the lecture.
Each tasting table was grouped as a team with one of our staff wine experts serving as team leader. As we had 5 tables in contention, each group was given the name of a First Growth Château as their team moniker. The resulting competition was spirited and intense - many Premiership matches aren't this fierce!
Starting off with Pair 1, the very first wine of the night was, in a word, spectacular. By popular consensus it actually went on to become one of the two 'wines of the evening' - certainly a good way to kick things off! Markedly elegant and with a brilliant purity of fruit, it was clear that whichever estate produced this wine knew exactly what they were doing. Fragrant and beguiling, the judicious use of oak was also noted. Wine number two was less clearly defined and showed slightly rougher tannins in the mid-palate and finish.
A testament to the exceptional level of wine knowledge in the room, most teams pegged the vintage as 2006 (versus the other choice, 2005) and three of the teams agreed that it was likely from the Margaux appellation. However, one guest actually threw down the gauntlet and claimed that he could not only identify the vintage and appellation but the producer as well. 'Go on then,' said Tim. Low and behold - he absolutely nailed it. As a prize for his impressive efforts the gentleman in question received a half case of wine number 1, which turned out to be the fantastic 2006 Château Palmer. Wine number 2 was also well received and it was ultimately revealed as Château Rauzan-Segla. However, the showcase of tasting skills put on by 'Mr. Palmer' was enough to put Team Mouton, captained by AWC International Client Account Manager James Woodhead, out into the early competition lead.
Pair 2 was arguably one of the most difficult to figure out. The first wine was fruity, forward and clearly well made, yet it lacked a certain 'oomph', particularly in the finish. The second wine was undeniably great - tobacco leaf, cedar box, red fruit, cassis and fine tannins all in perfect harmony - however somewhat confusing because the colour did not seem to accurately reflect the power of the nose and palate (there was a slight bricking to it).
To further complicate matters, the vintage choices were 2000 and 2003, both of which are formidable years. With the first wine appearing to be more like a 2003 and the second more like a 2000, many people were stumped. In the end, the vintage was identified as 2003, with wine 1 being Château Pontet-Canet and wine 2 (which was also my favourite of the evening) the neighbouring estate of Château Mouton Rothschild. The appellation was of course Pauillac, but what a fabulous and interesting contrast these two wines were! At this stage, Team Mouton was still the front-runner, however Teams Lafite and Latour, with Will Buckland (our head of Fine Wine Investment) and Julia Scales (our Head of Sales) at their respective helms, were tied for second and closing in on the lead.
The third set validated Tim's earlier pronouncement that, "the wines of St. Julien tend to be a bit more tannic than Pauillac, but not as immense and backward as those of St. Estèphe." By process of elimination, most teams quickly guessed that the wines were probably from one region or the other. But which one? Upon tasting wine 1, a number of guests were completely floored by its purity and structure. It was absolutely sublime. Wine number 2 had a bit more leafiness to the clearly Cabernet Sauvignon dominated nose, yet it was nonetheless delicious. The vintage choices were 1996 or 2000. Having just gone through the 2003 versus 2000 debate (with a few teams coming up on the wrong end), this decision was no easier! After all the teams had voted, the first wine was revealed as the 2000 Château Beychevelle and the second as 2000 Château Gruaud-Larose. Once again it was Team Mouton on top with Lafite and Latour nipping at its heels. Unfortunately, Teams Margaux and Haut-Brion were beginning to languish behind and concerns about relegation were entering the minds of the captains. By the final pairing, everyone realised that the appellation was likely St. Estèphe. The challenge remained as to which estates and which vintage the two wines were from (the choice was either 1995 or 1996). In many ways this was the most evenly matched pairing. Both wines had clearly defined structures and were of truly great quality. This was perfectly aged claret at its best. Most teams came around to the idea that the vintage was likely 1996 (as that year was slightly better on the Left Bank, with 1995 slightly superior on the Right), yet no consensus could be made as to which of the region's top properties - Château Montrose, Château Cos d'Estournel and Château Calon-Ségur - was the odd one out. Passionate arguments were given for and against each estate.
Above: A fun and informative competition.
Ultimately it was Team Mouton that once again emerged victorious - correctly marking wine 1 as Cos d'Estournel and wine 2 as Calon-Ségur. This also meant that Team Mouton won the entire competition, with each member receiving a complimentary bottle of Grand Cru Champagne for their fine efforts. The final standings, out of a possible 16 points, were as follows:
Team Mouton – 14/16Team Lafite – 13/16Team Latour – 11/16Team Haut-Brion – 10/16Team Margaux – 9/16
Impressively (and despite his early warnings about the perils and pitfalls of blind tasting), Tim proved his mettle - correctly identifying 50% of the wines, from the vintage all the way down to the producer - and rightfully upheld his reputation as a Master of Wine.

In the end a fantastic evening was had by all. The positive feedback was overwhelming, with many guests already planning their own private events in the space or signing up to attend future tastings - which is exactly what we designed the Wine Academy for and why it is now open. We look forward to welcoming you into the building in the coming months for more exciting events of this nature.

Athletic Role Models:
I think we should expect SOME professional athletes to be role models. Some of them have bad habits that won't be good for young kids to endure. Other athletes have good habits that young kids should endure. The problem is that most kids want to follow behind the bad athletes and do what they do even though they know it is wrong. I don't think that we should judge them by their athletic performance unless we are coaches, which none of us are so none of us should be worried about their athletic performance. :)

Robison Wells joins us again to talk about personal health, and his brother Dan joins us from the couch where (as of this recording session) he's suffering from the recent removal of a body part. Eeew!
We start by talking with Rob about his well-chronicled mental health issues, how he dealt with them, and how he used them to inform his writing. We ask the obvious question — are there more mental illnesses to be found among creative folk, or are we all under confirmation bias?
Mary and Howard chime in with their own mental wellness struggles, and we talk about the importance of letting other people know how we're feeling, and why we might be feeling that way. We also talk about our physical health, and how important it is for us as writers to keep track of that. Dan, Brandon, and Mary all have standing desks, and Brandon's is affixed to a treadmill (and as a result of this 'cast, Howard tried a standing desk for a month and but then gave up on it.)
This episode doesn't offer much in the way of crunchy, nuts-and-bolts writing advice, but hopefully it helps some of you deal with the issues that you now know some of the professionals suffer from as well.
Audiobook Pick-of-the-Week: Our pick, Imagine, by Jonah Lehrer, has been pulled from Audible because the author made some stuff up! So not only can you not believe everything you read, you can't believe everything you listen to.
Writing Prompt: Take an outline, and make a list of the questions you are going to ask your readers at the beginning of the book. Then make a (hopefully shorter) list of the questions you leave unanswered by the end of that book.
Those Pictures You Wanted: Howard promised to get pictures of Brandon's tread-desk. He lied, or at least cannot find the pictures anywhere. As a consolation prize, here is a link to Robison's blog post about mental health.

The three-judge panel found Tajul Muluk guilty of insulting Islam with his religious teachings.
Citing testimonies from witnesses, the panel said Muluk had taught about revising daily obligatory prayers from five to three, saying the current holy book of Quran was no longer authentic and considering companions of the Prophet Muhammad to be infidels.
"The defendant has been legally and convincingly proven guilty of blasphemy," said presiding judge Purnomo Amin Tjahjo. "His acts, in principle have insulted Islam."
He added that Muluk had dispensed Shiite religious teachings that were declared heretical by the influential Indonesia Ulema (preacher) Council. The council and most Indonesian Muslims are Sunni.
The 39-year Muluk, also known as Ali Murtadlo, was arrested in April. He denied the charges and planned to appeal. The tightly guarded trial was heard at Sampang District Court in Madure, an island off eastern Java.
"This is a matter of dignity as they have considered me as an infidel," he said after his trial. "I have evidence that this trial was made up for political interests." He did not elaborate.
Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation and its constitution guarantees freedom of religion.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch called on the government to drop the charges and to release Muluk, whose case highlights the threat Indonesia's blasphemy law poses to religious freedom.
" The government needs to reverse the growing trend of violence and legal action against religious minorities in the country," said Elaine Pearson, the group's deputy Asia director.

Severn Inn
Online Reservations
This was a special anniversary and the folks at Severn Inn treated us wonderfully.
The ambience of this Resturant coupled with its superb menu and staff made a average Sunday the most Romantic ever. From the smile of the hostess to scenic vista of the river, right down to the crab cakes and service. This place stands out clearly as one THE finest restaurants in the country and not just Maryland. The crab cakes and salmon arrived pipping hot, yet succulent and well seasoned. The wine list was extensive and ample. And my date, was really taken. It's the perfect place to your wife or girlfriend for a quiet romantic evening. On a scale of five stars I'd give it 10.
We sat outside and the views were amazing. The service was wonderful. We will definiltey come back!
The Severn Inn is a upscale dining experience. Across from the Naval Academy on the Severn river it is a very romantic dinning spot. You can dine in or outside along the scenic river (weather permitting) but beware of the pesky mosquitoes in the evening. It is not cheap but the food is well worth it. Our meal ran $132 before tip for a dinner for 2 with one glass of wine, a couple coffees and 2 desserts. I had a steak and my wife had the crab cakes. The food was excellent. If money is tight then this is a good place for very special occasions but not every day. After tip our bill was $157. This is definitely the place for our next anniversary dinner. Wait service was top drawer. On the downside parking was limited.
Not easy to find but once there it was lovely location with great view. The service was outstanding. I was very disappointed with the crab cakes. they did not compare favorably to others in the area. The other entrees were better.
We wanted to eat outside - but we were told that they were not prepared for the crowd of people so the wait for any food would be at least an hour. Lots of tables were available but you just could not eat. We had arrived by boat and they do not take reservations outside - seems like if they did it would avoid a lot of long waits and hungry unhappy customers. We fortunately had an inside reservation - so we were seated but we very casually dressed which was not our preference. Food was great - our server was not pleasant - which dampened the experience. We love it here and will return anyway.
Even though they have their own lot parking is an issue. Our server was inexperienced.
Without question, this is the best italian restaurant in the Baltimore-Washington area. This is not Momma Leone style but instead, elegant, was prepared food. The menu tends to be seasonal while the pasta is always fresh. The staff is quite attentive and highly professional. Some of the staff has been there for years; that speaks volumes.
As a long time customer, always a relaxing experience with good food. Scenic location can not be beat and staff very friendly and pleasant.
Service was excellent as was the food. We sat outside on the most perfect Sunday morning of the summer. We did not want to leave.
We have been to the Severn Inn for brunch several times but this was the first time we arrived early enough to sit outside on the deck right on the water. We dined on our favorite brunch items -- oysters on the half shell, nice big peel and eat shrimp, made to order omelets, cheese grits, and the Severn Inn's wonderful stuffed french toast, among others, while sipping on unlimited bloody marys and mimosas. All this great food and the best view of the United States Naval Academy across the river made for a wonderful Sunday morning!
We've eaten at Severn Inn many times and enjoyed the food. This time was no different - we enjoyed the food. However, it took almost two hours for the five of us to get and complete our meal (no special orders). This was too long. We know it was the kitchen that was too slow, because when the appetizers and main courses got to our table, they were still warm/hot. Meaning they hadn't been sitting in the kitchen waiting for the server. The entree items are also priced higher than I think they are worth. This will decrease the frequency of our visiting the Severn Inn in the future.
Severn Inn always provides excellent service with outstanding food. I love bringing my out of town guests here to enjoy the beautiful scenery and get a taste of some of the best seafood in Annapolis.
I had heard about the Severn Inn from some of my poker playing friends and decided to having brunch there with my friend. What a view! The outside deck was across the river from the Naval Academy! We had a gorgeous day to sit and eat while drinking unlimited Mimosas and Bloody Marys that were included in the price of the brunch. There were plenty of brunch options: Raw Bar, Pasta Station, Waffles, Carved Prime Rib and Leg of Lamb, and also Made to order Omelets and Egg Benedicts brought to your table. This was an excellent value with a great view. Can't wait to get back.
We've gone twice and both times the food and service were outstanding. Put drinks (bloody mary, mimosa, etc) included, great view of the Severn River and Naval Academy, very reasonable price and great food together, you've got a hidden gem for those of you that like leisurely Sunday Brunches.
Only problem was that service was a little slow/inconsistent. Our server appeared to have too many tables to cover, some including large groups. Stretched ability to give proper attention to all tables - slow to move to next course, get check, didn't even get a water refill until we were finishing dessert. Felt that we weren't given the attention usually associated with a more upscale dining experience such as this. I don't fault server - seemed like he was not set up for success due to lack of other help. Overall, a very nice experience - food and view were great.
Excellent meal here - food was absolutely delicious and presented well. Great service. Most folks were dining outdoors so we had the dining room almost to ourselves. Have been here before for lunch - will definitely be returning.
Not our first time here, and I will definitely return. Tomato gazpacho with crab was delish! Wait service was good, but food from the kitchen was slow on this visit for some reason. Great place for a special occasion dinner or lunch.
Great menu, attentive service, relaxed but upscale ambience and the best view in Annapolis!
Sunday brunch here cannot be beat! Wide variety of both breakfast and lunch choices, plus shrimp, oysters and smoked salmon. And the Bloody Mary's were delish! Our new "go to" for Sunday brunch.
Did not know what to expect when booking this restaurant as we had not been there before. Was not disapointed. Excellent food, excellent service. An unexpected surprise - while waiting at the bar for our table we struck up a plesant conversation with a couple who were regular patrons of Severn Inn. When the hostess came to get us for our table she mentioned that she would transfer our bar tab to the table. However, the couple said they would take care of our drinks. What a wonderful gesture as we were celebrating a birthday.
Their Sunday brunch is amazing!! Good variety and decent service. We sat at the patio and the view is just AMAZING.. Overlooks the Severn river and park is nearby. So after brunch we took a little stroll along the river. Had a great birthday brunch.
Can't imagine any place better for our lovely luncheon yesterday. Three of us met up after too long and took almost a half hour to even look at our menus. The waiter was very respectful of our time and checked back with us periodically without being pushy. Food was excellent. View is excellent, and the one thing they can't control is the weather and mother nature took care of ensuring a picture perfect day.
We went their for our anniversary what a delight and the food was excellent.
Beautiful setting on the scenic Severn river; brunch has a wide variety of selections. Hostesses could be a bit friendlier.
A true fine dining experience with the best views in Annapolis!
We loved watching the sun go down out on the open deck. Crab cakes were fantastic as well as the flourless chocolate cakes.
You can't beat the view from the outside deck. The food is very good for Annapolis, but not comparable to what you would expect in a bigger city. The service from the friendly staff is often disjointed and slow at times. For example, our appetizer platter arrived before silverware and napkins. The lighting on the deck could be better. Small candles provide light at the tables and a very harsh up light on a tree casts a harsh glare. In all, the exeperience is good, not great.
As a last minute decision, discovered this location while staying the night in Annapolis MD during the weekend boat show. My GPS had some difficulty finding the location. Signage was also difficult to see. Worried as we pulled in and there was limited parking., but after that it was easy. Once greeted at the desk we were offered a wide selection of seating options. I eat out on a regular bases and was very surprised at the consistency of tasty food that the kitchen prepared. The only down side was waiting for the food delivery. Staff were very polite just would have liked them to round more frequently for refills and further food orders. Look forward to making this place my go to eatery when in the area.
Anna, our server, was outstanding, friendly, courteous, and very knowlegable food conisour
Fantastic Scenic View, notable ambience, excellent service, quiet with table spaced properly.
We have dined at the Inn frequently, with friends, family & special occasions. Brunch is a treat, with oysters & drinks included. Pricing may be a couple dollars more than the "downtown" average, but the view makes it seem a bargin. Great food, Great service, we have never been disappointed. Parking can be tight, but we've always found a spot.
Friends were visiting from the West Coast and wanted a special place for us to have lunch to celebrate our 70th birthdays. I suggested the Severn Inn. I had dined there before and thought they would enjoy it. We each had a seafood dish, and they commented about how well the food was prepared and presented. A wedding was taking place on the deck, and that provided an extra excitement to our lunch.
We have visited Severn Inn many times and this brunch was not different. Service is always outstanding, and the friendly attention to detail is welcomed. If you are a true seafood lover, than Sunday Brunch at Severn Inn is your place to be. Wide selection of raw, cooked and baked seafood that satisfies the taste-buds. And don't forget the unlimited champagne at bloody merrys.
We go there Doreen's special times with friends, easy to give directions and ample parking facilities. Hard to beat
large dining room able to accomondate larger parties was really nice. There were several large parties there (it was homecoming weekend) and all had enough space. Lovely view on the water. Looked like the outdoor seating would be really nice in the summer.
Took friends from out of town to lunch and it was a great experience. Wonderful view of the Naval academy, good food, reasonable prices. Some of the review for this restaurant focused on poor service but we did not find that. The service was attentive prompt and totally without a flaw. This was our second visit , the first being for dinner. At dinner time the restaurant is crowded but not so for lunch. Both visits were a good experience.
Great location, a little hard to find but great waterfront dining location. The food was fresh although a little bland. Our server was very attentive and helpful as this was our first visit. We were celebrating an anniversary and the Severn Inn is a wonderful choice for a romantic dinner. Service was fast and at the end of our meal our server presented us a dessert on the house, nice unexpected touch.
Establishment is known for the best water views - overlooking the academy from across the river. The meals we ordered were a "soup" made with a cream sauce in winter, with lobster, mussels, clams and shrimp. What was not to like? The one diner only ordered the "wedge" and app crab cake. Both looked wonderful and she said they were very good. Her first time there. The service was excellent. Everything about the evening was wonderful.
A beautiful view, pleasant ambience, good food and excellent service. Our server, Miriam did a wonderful job, pleasant, competent but unobtrusive A very extensive menu for lunch! The only thing I didn't like was the coffee.
dinner with another couple and couldn't have been nicer. wait staff simply exceptional and food almost that good. stuck with red meat for the night, preceded by salad and oysters. no weak links. a pleasant surprise as it's been a while since i've come here owing to a few so-so experiences. we shall return!
We go here with friends and family who have not been before. The food and service and view are wonderful. The tab is heavy duty, so our visits are carefully chosen.
Scenic view, pretty good food, good bar, and special place to go!
This consistently has great food and great service.
Great seafood restaurant sitting on the Severn River. Linen table cloths and napkins, large bar area and a HUGE wine list. Great for special occassions or small groups the Severn Inn has many seafood options with a few standard fares. The service is very good and the manager personally checks on your table. The food is fresh, cooked to order and delicious with every attention to detail attended.
I ended up unexpectedly in Annapolis and let Open Table find me a seafood restaurant. Boy am I glad that you pointed me to the Severn Inn! It is a place I'd heard of and now I'm going to add it to my list of favorites. Can't wait to go back when it's warm and sit on the deck overlooking the river and downtown Annapolis. Great food, nice wine list, great servers, beautiful rooms. Thank you Open Table and Severn Inn for a wonderful way to start my weekend.
Such a lovely time at Severn Inn. One of our best go to spots for special occasions. We choose Severen inn over and over Because it always delivers we love the setting the staff the ambience and especially the food. Great wine and my favorite ice cold draft beer Fat Tire. Staff was great they were friendly. they made sure we were comfortable took good care of us showed people to our table who came after we arrived. They let us linger as long as we wanted to helped us with the birthday dessert. We had a great time a great dinner and a memorable birthday thank you Severan inn!
There are a lot of Sunday brunch options but this one tops them all for selection, price and value. If you're not showing up until after 11:30, better make reservations because this is a popular after Church service spot!
What a gem! I'll return...and often! I had and highly recommend the scallops tempura.

Listen to Jay Electronica on iHeartRadio
2012 has yielded a few big musical feuds, but the year isn't over yet and neither is the feuding.
Jay Electronica unexpectedly took to Twitter the other night to defend French Montana against 50 Cent. In a series of now-deleted tweets, the enigmatic MC wrote, "Truth be told French Montana is not a lyrical, but he got that Birdman swagg. It's the Magnolia in me," before adding, "Ps, I dare 50 to say one word!!!"
No word on what caused Jay to make the comments, or why he later deleted them.

Ripe and unripe Blackberries in our neighbour's garden. The kids love 'em!
Taken while I prepared the Barbie…
The blackberry is an edible fruit produced by Rubus fruticosus, or any of several hybrids between that species and others of the Rubus genus in the Rosaceae family. The term 'bramble', a word meaning any impenetrable scrub, has traditionally been applied specifically to the blackberry or its products, though in the USA it applies to all members of the Rubus genus.
The (usually) black fruit is not a true berry; botanically it is termed an aggregate fruit, composed of small drupelets. It is a widespread and well-known group of over 375 species, many of which are closely related apomictic microspecies native throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere and South America.
Blackberries are perennial plants which typically bear biennial stems ("canes") from the perennial root system. In its first year, a new stem, the primocane, grows vigorously to its full length of 3–6 m (in some cases, up to 9 m), arching or trailing along the ground and bearing large palmately compound leaves with five or seven leaflets; it does not produce any flowers. In its second year, the cane becomes a floricane and the stem does not grow longer, but the lateral buds break to produce flowering laterals (which have smaller leaves with three or five leaflets). First and second year shoots usually have numerous short curved very sharp prickles that are often erroneously called thorns. Prickle-free cultivars have been developed. Recently the University of Arkansas has developed primocane fruiting blackberries that grow and flower on first year growth much as the primocane-fruiting (also called fall bearing or everbearing) red raspberries do.
Unmanaged mature plants form a tangle of dense arching stems, the branches rooting from the node tip on many species when they reach the ground. Vigorous and growing rapidly in woods, scrub, hillsides and hedgerows, blackberry shrubs tolerate poor soils, readily colonizing wasteland, ditches and vacant lots.
The flowers are produced in late spring and early summer on short racemes on the tips of the flowering laterals. Each flower is about 2–3 cm in diameter with five white or pale pink petals.
The drupelets only develop around ovules that are fertilized by the male gamete from a pollen grain. The most likely cause of undeveloped ovules is inadequate pollinator visits. Even a small change in conditions, such as a rainy day or a day too hot for bees to work after early morning, can reduce the number of bee visits to the flower, thus reducing the quality of the fruit. Incomplete drupelet development can also be a symptom of exhausted reserves in the plant's roots, or infection with a virus such as Raspberry bushy dwarf virus.
In botanical terminology, the fruit is not a berry, but an aggregate fruit of numerous drupelets.
The soft fruit is popular for use in desserts, jams, seedless jelly (called Bramble jelly in the UK) and sometimes wine. It is often mixed with apples for pies and crumbles.
Good nectar producers, blackberry shrubs bearing flowers yield a medium to dark, fruity honey.

Orin Grossman on George Gershwin
FOL FRIENDS & FAMILY DAYS with Orin Grossman. George Gershwin (1898-1937) was a true rarity in American music, someone at home both in popular and classical, or concert, music. A high school drop-out, he wrote his first major hit song, "Swanee," at age 19, and was a successful songwriter from then on, writing mostly for Broadway musicals and, in the 1930s, for Hollywood movies. His first concert piece, "Rhapsody in Blue," was written at 25. He continued to write popular songs and concert pieces until his untimely death from a brain tumor at 38. By understanding Gershwin's musical sources, we gain insight into the multicultural nature of American musical traditions, and into the genius of one of our greatest composers. The lecture will conclude with a performance of Gershwin's masterpiece, "Rhapsody in Blue." Dr. Grossman came to Fairfield University in 1975 as an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts. In 1991 he was named Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. After 10 years as Academic Vice President, he returned to the music faculty within the department of Visual and Performing Arts.

The aroma is great! It has a wonderful burnt toffee aroma along with a kick ass wood aged scent. It lends a nice vanilla character to the beer. The taste is good as well. It has a wicked oak flavor that wraps itself up with the caramel notes and burnt toffee flavors. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a damn fine beer. It's a sipper for sure, but damn is it tastey.

The pour reveals a brown and cloudy beverage with a moderate off-white head. Unsurprisingly, this barrel-aged beer has a strong aroma...and that aroma is of bourbon. That's it. A whole ton of booze to the nostrils. WOW! That feeling when you take a sip is...this is an intense beer. Like, "Why don't I invite 4 close friends by to split this 12 oz bottle" intense. I'm getting the sense that it's a beer that changes with every sip. There's a lot of heat from the alcohol. Overall, this is the type of beer that pushes the envelope. It will probably take you out of your comfort zone. It's a quality experience, but know what you're getting yourself into.

May 2013 batch 9, 632 cases? Cool addition t the info on the label. A deep golden brew with almost a one finger head of foam, nice lacing, I do see some floaties. Caramel malt heavily soaked in booze is what I get from the smell. I'm almost getting tipsy from just taking some whiffs. Beautiful flavour of caramel malt, one of the best I've had, and when the big woody notes move in, surprisingly to me, I think it enhances the flavour. Yes indeed..it is hot as heck, hotter than even the abv implies, but slow sips pay off, like what I experience with Sam Adams Utopias. On the high end of medium bodied, low level of carbonation, this is going to take me some time to finish but when I do, I'll be satisfied, I'm sure. Nice.

text: On an overcast Saturday afternoon, Herriman (11th ranked Single-School program) took on United (5th ranked Club program) in Alpine, UT. In a hard-hitting and high-scoring affair, Herriman came away with a 41-28 victory. Herriman showed their intention to play wide and fast right from the opening kickoff. After stealing the ball from United, Herriman immediately swung it wide then back again before center Francis Bernard put in a deft chip kick over the United backs. The ball was well taken by the United fullback and their forwards were able to secure possession. After a few phases, the United forwards knocked the ball on giving Herriman a scrum. A sloppy pass off the scrum put the Herriman backs under pressure, but United was pinged for off-sides. Flyhalf Moliki Mulitalo took the tap and weaved his way through the United defense for a twenty-meter run. The ball went wide, but a mishandled pass gave the ball back to United with a right-hand scrum deep in their territory. The Herriman pack was able to put the United scrum under pressure and forced a poor pass from the United scrumhalf. The United flyhalf was unable to handle the pass and Herriman looked primed to put the first points of the game on the board with a 5-meter scrum. No. 8 Jeremy Hinton picked off the back of the following scrum. The Herriman forwards effectively rucked over and the ball was sent wide. On a nifty loop then skip pass, the ball reached wing Canyon Hansen who was stopped just short of the line. Herriman swung the ball back to the left-side of the field and had a clear overlap. This opportunity was squandered by not skipping the ball wide and an easy try was lost. Luckily, a penalty was called on United for diving over in the ruck and Herriman retained possession five meters out from the United try line. Scrumhalf Jordan Drage tapped the ball and passed to the charging Herriman forwards. After four phases of tight forward play, Drage spun the ball to Mulitalo who made a clever fake pass and slipped through the United defense and dove over for the first try of the game. The conversion was slotted by the always consistent fullback and placekicker Conner Hoff and the score stood at 7-0. United's drop kicker was a bit overzealous on the restart and kicked the ball out of the back of the try zone which gave Herriman a scrum at midfield. Hinton picked off the back of the scrum and, being tackled by the United scrumhalf, off-loaded to Drage who expertly drew the United defender and spun the ball wide to Hansen. Hansen made an excellent thirty meter break and was eventually dragged down. With the United defense in disarray, a United flanker came into the ruck illegally from the side and a penalty was awarded to Herriman. The ball was kicked into touch and Herriman had a lineout ten meters away from United's try line. The Herriman pack took the throw-in and immediately set up a solid maul. The United forwards, under severe pressure, illegally collapsed the Mustang maul. With all the United forwards occupied in the collapsed maul, Drage threw a pass to Mulitalo who, seeing a clear mismatch, side-stepped his defender and went over for his second try of the game. Hoff would convert the try putting the score at 14-0 in favor of Herriman. On the ensuing kick-off, United's forwards did a great job of holding up the Herriman ball carrier and winning a scrum put-in. Off the scrum, United kept the ball tight in the forwards and a high tackle was called on flanker Connor Dickerson after sustained United pressure. United then took a quick tap, but the swarming Herriman defense was led by loosehead prop Billy Ward who made a thumping tackle and then immediately got back on his feet and contested for possession. The United forwards were too slow in supporting their ball carrier and they were penalized for not releasing the ball in the tackle. Mulitalo kicked for touch and off the lineout Hinton had a rampaging thirty meter run through the heart of the United defense. Despite being on their back foot, United effectively scrambled and forced a knock-on by the Herriman backs. A great scoring opportunity again was wasted by the Mustangs. On the ensuing scrum, United's speedy back-side wing inserted into the line and took the pass from the scrumhalf. Unprepared for this wrinkle, the Herriman loose forwards were too slow in responding and United's wing made a huge forty meter break before being taken down by Dickerson & Hoff. United then spun the ball wide from right to left. The open-side wing sidestepped the Mustang defense and was bundled into touch only a few feet from the line by the supporting Herriman defense. On the ensuing lineout, Herriman went to the back jumper, but United's eightman expertly stole the throw-in. The United forwards immediately set up a maul. The maul was pushed over the try line, but Herriman's forwards were able to prevent United from grounding the ball and a 5-meter scrum was awarded to Herriman. With loose footing, Hinton picked off the back of the scrum, slipped, and knocked the ball on. On the following United scrum, Herriman's defense pushed back the United attack. The Mustangs, however, were called for off-sides and United's eightman took the quick tap and advantage of the lazy Mustang defense and dove over for United's first try of the game. They would convert the conversion kick and draw to within 7 points of Herriman, 14-7. United mishandled the ensuing kick-off and ceded possession back to the Mustangs. After a sustained attack down the left-side of the field, the ball was swung right and center Brandon Jensen took the Mulitalo pass and sprinted past the United defense to score again for Herriman. The Hoff conversion attempt was wide left putting the score at 19-7 for Herriman. Herriman let the ball bounce on the following kick-off and the ball rolled out-of-bounds twenty meters from their line. Off the lineout, Herriman unwisely attempted to run out of their own end and stiff United defense forced a turnover on the Mustangs' line. Extremely poor tight defense by Herriman allowed United's eightman to pick and dive over the try line untouched for his second try of the game. The try was converted and the score stood at 19-14. Herriman continued to shoot themselves in the foot as the kick-off didn't go ten meters awarding a scrum to United at mid-field. United would capitalize and spun the ball wide. Terrible Mustang tackling and hard running by United's wing saw them over for their third try of the game. The try was converted pushing the score to 19-21 in favor of United. After both sides exchanged multiple kicks, United battered Herriman tight with their forward pack. This softened up the Mustang defense and United was able to suck in the Mustang defense and get the ball to their outside center who deftly side-stepped a Herriman back and put in another try for United. At this point, United was flying high and Herriman was in deep trouble after giving up three straight tries in the space of ten minutes. The conversion was good and the score was now 19-28 for United. Before the end of the first half, Herriman's defense forced a United knock-on. Off the scrum, Herriman threatened to score in the corner but the United defense held strong and pushed Hansen out of bounds, ending the first half. After a spirited halftime speech by Coach Wilson challenging the Mustangs to play to their ability, Herriman came out firing. Wing Thad Hay made a deep break into United territory. After sustained Mustang pressure, Bernard took a Drage pass off a ruck, side-stepped his opposing center, and raced forty meters for a much needed Herriman try right under the posts. Hoff would convert Bernard's try closing the gap with United to two points. Herriman continued to hurt themselves and knocked on the ensuing kick-off. United pressured Herriman deep in the Mustang half, but the stellar defense of lock Devin Rasmussen and reserve flanker Tyler Chapman energized the Mustangs. United decided to attempt a chip kick over the Herriman defense, but the kick went too far and rolled over the dead ball line, giving Herriman a scrum thirty meters from their own try line. The United pack, the best scrimmaging team Herriman has faced all year, proceeded to steal the scrum the Mustangs. The United eightman caused further headaches for the Mustangs and ran the ball all the way to the Mustang try line, but a United penalty in the ruck let the Mustangs of the hook. A Mustang knock-on gave the ball back to United and they attempted to insert the back-side wing again off the scrum. Chapman and Mulitalo weren't fooled at all and they laid a brutal two-man tackle on the wing and forced a knock-on. The next fifteen minutes were marked by both sides jockeying for field position with the majority of the time spent in United's half of the field. The only big highlight of this part of the game was a massive (and legal) hit by reserve wing Sialao Mobley. Mobley's physical presence was instrumental in the second half for the Mustangs. Midway through the second half, the Herriman attack finally found a seam in the United defense. Deep in the Mustang end of the field, the Herriman backs worked a pretty loop that froze the United backline and allowed Bernard to put Mobley through the gap out wide. Mobley proceeded to run thirty meters before skillfully popping the pass back inside to a supporting Bernard. Bernard ran an additional twenty meters before launching a wide pass to Drage right before he was tackled. United, in disarray on defense, gave up an off-sides penalty. Herriman opted to go for points and Bernard calmly slotted the thirty meter penalty kick to put Herriman ahead 29-28. Herriman had the momentum at this point and off the kick-off put together multiple excellent phases in both the forwards and backs that put serious pressure on United. Excellent runs from reserve forward Kalisi Moli and reserve center Vuni Bloomfield helped Herriman march deep into United's half. A knock-on stopped the Mustang attack but it was obvious that Herriman was playing with a newfound confidence. On the ensuing scrum, Herriman's forwards demolished the United scrum, forcing a turnover. The United wing, scrambling in defense, laid a tackle that was deemed to high by the referee and Herriman opted to kick for touch. Five meters out from the line there was little doubt that Herriman was going to attempt the maul. With their confidence up and adrenaline running high, the Herriman forwards expertly mauled the ball across the line where it was dotted down by Dickerson. The tough sideline conversion wasn't converted by Bernard and the score was now 34-28 for Herriman. United wasn't done yet and forced a turnover on the kick-off. After some hard running inside from their forwards, United was at the try line and threatening to score. Again, it was Chapman who rose to the occasion and laid a vicious hit on a pick-and-go by a United forward, forcing the turnover and relieving the United pressure. Herriman kicked the ball to mid-field off the proceeding scrum, but the Mustangs didn't find touch. United attempted to keep the ball tight with their forwards, but were continually dumped back into their ruck by the much improved tight defense by the Mustang forwards. United abandoned this tactic and attempted to work the ball wide, but great defense by Ward and Chapman allowed Dickerson to strip the ball from the United ball carrier. The ball was popped to Moli who used all of his 250 pounds to run over a United back and expertly off-load to Mulitalo who swung the ball wide to Hay. Hay turned on the jets and sprinted fifty meters for the final Herriman score. Reserve prop Irvin Medina converted the try for the final points of the day, pushing the score to 41-28. It was a solid win for the Mustangs after last week's loss to Snow Canyon. Both teams now look to finish the regular season on a winning note this week in preparation for the Utah state play-offs which start on May 3rd and Nationals later in May.
