Taunt Something

Taunt Something

Monty Python and the Holy Grail was released in the UK on April 3, 1975 and in the US on April 27, 1975.

It is a parody of Arthurian legend, written and performed by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin, and directed by Gilliam and Jones. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, and Elton John were among those who financed the film when every major studio declined to fund a film of that magnitude by first time directors.

The film was mostly shot on location in Scotland, particularly around Doune Castle and Glen Coe. The many castles seen throughout the film were mainly Doune Castle shot from different angles.

It was selected as the second best comedy of all time in the 2011 ABC special “Best in Film”, after Airplane! (1980).

Turmeric treats depression without side effects

Turmeric

A landmark study on curcumin and its effects on depression, however, could spell new hope and an increased quality of life for those suffering from this disorder. The new breakthrough research concluded that curcumin was as effective as Prozac in treating depressive disorders but lacked any serious side effects and was well-tolerated by patients across the board.

Pesticide Women Organizers

Pesticide Women Organizers

Three local Wisconsin women are spearheading an effort to persuade city officials to abandon a plan to use herbicides in Stoughton parks and athletic fields beginning this spring. After learning of the plan about two weeks ago, Sylvia Lawrence, Gennifer Weaver and Sara Downie – all mothers with young children – contacted friends in the city who share their concerns. They established a grassroots group opposed to using chemicals to control broadleaf plants such as dandelions and clover. They also offered to help maintain park lawns and playing fields and have encouraged the city to adopt alternatives to chemical applications. The three and about two-dozen supporters calling themselves Naturally Stoughton-Cultivating Sustainable Solutions attended a Public Works Committee meeting last Monday to question the new policy. They hope the city can find organic solutions to what some people are considering a significant weed problem.
