Roofing Contractor MN | Roof Inspection
As we roll into the warmer months, getting ready for summer is quickly becoming a priority for many Minnesota homeowners. Whether it's replacing your windows, updating your siding, or making sure that our rain gutters are free of debris, now is the time to get a handle on those exterior home improvements before winter comes knocking again. After all, once the snow hits… who really wants to deal with stuff like keeping the rain gutters clear when there's so many other fun things to do outside? If feels like our summers only last about 5 minutes as it is. Even if that statement isn't true, most would agree, this year April never showed up and May was suspect as well, but it finally looks like we may finally get to enjoy a bit of spring weather!
Is Your Roof For Spring Weather?
One thing you may want to make sure to do is get a spring roof inspection! We can get some pretty nasty weather at this time of year; Minnesota is known to get some real doozy spring storms. Make sure your roof is up to the challenge of thunderstorms, blustery winds, hail, tornadoes, and more.
Your roof is designed to withstand rainfall, but the blistering winter storms that come with Minnesota's climate and the subsequent melting snow can wreak havoc on any roof system.
The freezing and thawing a roof sustains each winter season wears down roofing materials and can create problem areas that develop into more costly repairs. During the spring melt, roofs go through a lot — one foot of snow on a 1,000-square-foot roof can create up to 2,500 gallons of water. Is your roof prepared to weather the storms that come with spring rains?
If you have noticed a few shingles or flashing out of place, or are you concerned about other damage to your roof, a Minnesota roofing contractor can spot this during by doing a thorough roof inspection.

The best method for increasing muscle mass involves creating a disciplined exercise routine, sleep schedule, and nutritious diet. While you may be taking some steps prior to working out that can help build muscle, are you consciously incorporating healthy post-workout habits as well? Follow these post-workout muscle-building steps, and you'll start to notice results while providing your body with a healthy daily routine.
Drink A Post-Workout Protein Shake
During your training in the gym, your muscles are exerting energy gained from amino acids found in protein and breaking down as you perform each exercise. Because protein fuels muscle regrowth, many experts recommend drinking a protein shake immediately after a workout to speed up the healing process. Your muscles crave protein after breaking down because this is what helps to heal them and grow stronger. If you're already in the habit of bringing a protein shake in your Ice Shaker bottle to the gym to drink before your workouts, try drinking half your shake before exercising for an extra stamina boost and finishing the other half post-workout to rebuild muscle.
Your muscles crave protein after breaking down because this is what helps to heal them and grow stronger.Tweet This!
Pay Attention to What You Eat Before Hitting the Gym
Though we're trying to focus on actions you can take after the gym to help build muscle, it's important not to ignore your pre-workout meal. What you eat before hitting the gym has an effect on your post-workout results. It's recommended that you drink a protein shake within 30 minutes of working out if you're just going to opt for a shake.
Others prefer to eat a snack before exercising. Snacks high in protein are the best for a pre-workout meal. Try munching on a protein bar, oatmeal with a high protein content or a banana. Though bananas are not a source of protein, they do contain a high amount of potassium, which your body sweats out during exercise.
Don't Skip the Carbs
Because of the popularity of low-carb diets, many people are under the impression that cutting carbs out of your diet altogether is a healthy practice. However, for those looking to build muscle, carbs should be an essential part of your diet. When performing high-intensity muscle-building exercises like weightlifting, much of your energy comes from your muscles breaking down glucose, which is derived from carbohydrates. After you've completed a workout session, your glycogen levels—the form in which glucose is stored—are depleted. Immediately following your workout, you should pack in plenty of carbs to replenish the glucose you burned off and provide your muscles with more energy for the next workout session.
Be Sure to Stretch Post-Workout
This vital step is often overlooked by even the well-trained athletes. After spending an hour or so pushing your muscles to the limit, it's easy to glaze over your post-workout stretches because you're tired and ready to let your muscles relax. However, ignoring these stretches could cause problems later on in the form of stiff or sore muscles.
Setting aside at least 10 minutes after your workout to really stretch out your muscles will help to relax them and decrease the chance of pain.Tweet This!
As we age, stretching becomes even more important because our muscles need more care and time to recover. When you work out, your muscles are constantly contracting, which causes them to tense up. Setting aside at least 10 minutes after your workout to really stretch out your muscles will help to relax them and decrease the chance of pain.
Get the Proper Amount of Sleep
No matter what your fitness goals are, you should make getting enough sleep a top priority because lack of sleep can affect many aspects of your health. Most researchers recommend every adult person should aim to get at least seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Lack of sleep not only leads to decreased energy levels but can increase your risk of developing diseases and shorten your lifespan.
The amount of sleep you get each night will also affect your appetite, and since diet is an essential aspect of a well-rounded fitness plan, this should be a top priority. When you sleep, your body's need for food is diminished, which is one reason some fitness experts recommend drinking protein shakes with casein before bed to help your muscles re-build while your metabolism slows down. If you're not sleeping enough during the night, your brain will send signals that you're hungry, leading to additional and unnecessary food consumption.
Though sleep is important to a healthy schedule for all these reasons and more, when trying to build muscle quickly, your body needs a higher level of testosterone. Studies have shown that lack of sleep leads to decreased hormone levels, testosterone in particular, which in turn will make it more difficult for your body to gain the muscle mass you're looking for.
Allow Your Body Time to Rest Between Workouts
Hitting the gym every day can be tempting for those trying to build muscle quickly but allowing time between workouts is actually more effective for muscle growth. You should never try to work out the same muscle group more than once within a 36-hour period. Even if your workout schedule consists of two on days before one rest day, you need to be sure that you break up these days. For example, day one can focus on your upper body while day two hones in on lower body or core.
The process through which your body builds more muscle is called muscle synthesis. This does not begin until your body goes into an anabolic state, which occurs after you've consumed a source of energy. During a workout, your body goes into the opposite state known as catabolic, which means your muscles are being broken down and your body is losing energy.
So, contrary to popular belief, your muscles are only beginning to build up after your workout when you're resting. This is why it's imperative to avoid working the same muscle group two days in a row—you'll likely interfere with this natural process and end up stunting your muscle growth instead.
Use a Foam Roller on Tight Muscles
Similar to stretching after your workout, using a foam roller can help to relax your muscles and relieve you of any stiffness or pain. Adding this to your post-workout stretching routine is also a great way to promote muscle recovery.

By Dick Hughes, special to Marion County
Who among us has not fallen short? Who among us has not needed a second chance, or more?
That theme underlay the 11th annual "Giving People a Second Chance" community breakfast. This year's event honored the life and legacy of the late Sen. Jackie Winters. She was a devoted supporter of the Marion County Reentry Initiative.
The initiative helps individuals make positive transitions from the criminal justice system – particularly incarceration – back into the community. "What it means is this: People are getting jobs. People are reuniting with families. People are contributing to our community," county Undersheriff Jeff Wood told the audience.
The breakfast, held Oct. 1 at the Keizer Community Center, raised more than $20,000 for the De Muniz Resource Center to help program clients obtain identification, education, and employment.
In opening the gathering, Keizer Mayor Cathy Clark set the tone of honoring Winters through carrying her work forward.
"It is because of the strength of our communities – Salem, Keizer, Marion and Polk counties together – that we can come together as families and make sure that every person has the chance to be treated with dignity and respect," Clark said.
Congressman Kurt Schrader talked about how Winters was emblematic of second chances, of compassion and of collaboration. He and Winters served together in the Oregon Legislature. Despite coming from different backgrounds and different political parties, they found common ground on children and family issues.
When Winters was in the Republican majority, she didn't send Democrat Schrader to the sidelines. Instead, she expected him to pull his weight. When he later led the budget committee, Winters would not let him overlook the importance of funding dental care. She taught him that people need a good smile to get a good job.
"A Legacy of Giving People a Second Chance," a video shown at the breakfast, featured clips of Winters' remarks at the Second Chance breakfast in 2010. She spoke of an ex-inmate who became a giver instead of a taker, a taxpayer instead of a drain on the tax system, and a father to four stepsons.
What was it, she asked, that caused Gov. Tom McCall to take a risk and courageously add someone to his staff who probably was deemed beyond redemption? Whatever his reasons, she applauded McCall for hiring Ted Winters, who became her husband.
For people exiting prison, Winters said, the barriers to obtaining housing, finding employment and erasing societal stigma probably are far greater now than in 1968. "We have placed a lot more obstacles and laws in the way of people making that transition back, and I think that's a tragedy."
A second video presented the story of Ali, a successful participant in Marion County's Family Sentencing Alternative Program (FSAP). Life's difficulties caused her to relapse into drug use. But because of her commitment to her children, she was motivated to engage in the intensive supervision, treatment, and parenting programs offered through FSAP. The program allows continued parenting by diverting non-violent offenders from prison to Community Corrections.
Ali attended the breakfast and received a standing ovation after the video concluded. "There are 300 people here that love you and appreciate all you've done," County Commissioner Kevin Cameron, who emceed the program, told her.
Community Corrections staff members emphasized that their clients, like Ali, are more than a criminal history. They are someone's son or daughter, mom or dad, brother or sister. Families and the community are better off when they are held accountable but also supported in making positive changes.
Cameron urged participants to follow Winters' example and look outward to serve others in their leadership, mentoring, and funding.
Marion County's second chance programs are more time-intensive for Community Corrections staff but less expensive for Oregon taxpayers than housing someone in prison. The irony is that Marion County then gets less funding, despite its higher workload, because of its success in reducing recidivism.
Salem-Keizer Schools Superintendent Christy Perry closed the program by emphasizing that students and adults respond to having a caring adult who is invested in them.
"The Marion County Reentry Program actually invests in people," she said. "It invests in people in real ways to mentor people and to help them reach their goals and dreams."

AIICO Pension Managers is a leading pension fund administrator in Nigeria and a subsidiary of AIICO Insurance Plc.
In recent times, the pension industry has seen different cases of fraud, most of which have had to do with identity theft. This includes incidents of malicious individuals claiming other people's pension funds by simply switching their identity.
Hence, the need to firm up KYC in the industry.
PenCom, the government organization overseeing policy on pension matters in Nigeria, made a regulation for all pension fund administrators to recapture data of RSA holders across the country. AIICO as a PFA needed to do the same.
Beyond the regulation, AIICO Pension Managers required a means of capturing customers who were scattered across different locations in the country.
AIICO Pension Managers adopted BioRegistra, our data collection tool, for the recapture of over 200,000 customers. With BioRegistra, the company was able to arm itself with multiple options for data collection. These include an android and windows app and shareable webforms.
The webforms have proven to be a winner for AIICO Pension Managers as it helped to save time spent on data collection. The company connected with its customers without having to meet them physically. This was achieved by sending emails with BioRegistra forms embedded within them. Customers simply filled and saved the forms, while it synced to the backend in real time.
"We found BioRegistra extremely helpful as it met our dire need for a data capture solution that could re-register our pensioners in nationwide locations while syncing the information/feedback to the back-end in real time."

Pirate's Tale
Cover Family
The Charlotte Roberts Family
by Jamie Barbe
click for larger version
05/01/2009 -
Adorable. Bright. Talkative. The Roberts' girls. Violet (10) and Denise (8).
We are sitting at the Roberts' round kitchen table. The girls are on each side of me and, across from me, is mom Charlotte. This setup allows me to catch glimpses of Charlotte's amused smile and occasional rolling eyes as her girls talk.
Five years ago, finding herself suddenly single, Charlotte moved with Violet and Denise from Texas to Wyoming to be near her now-grown daughter (Charlotte has two other grown children). After a year of rural living, Charlotte realized that they needed to live in a larger town. So they moved to Casper. And it was absolutely the right decision.
"So what's one of the things you like about Casper?" I ask them.
click for larger version
Almost in unison, "The summers!" They can enjoy being outside and it's not too hot. They love to go day-camping. To put a watermelon in the creek to cool as they play and splash and hike and then return to enjoy the delicious, succulent snack.
Charlotte adds, "And we've made such wonderful friends here. Wonderful people live in Casper. And we love our church." They are active in the Mountain View Baptist Church. It's small and friendly and offers many opportunities to serve.
"Another thing we love about Casper," Charlotte says, "is that we can get a glass of cold water right out of the faucet. In Texas, water from the tap is always warm."
When Violet was 14 ½ months old, Charlotte adopted her along with Violet's older brother David. David, now 12, goes to school in Utah. Violet's birth mother had made a series of poor choices while carrying Violet, which resulted in her full-term birth-weight of only four pounds. When Violet came to Charlotte, she could not walk or talk. But just look at her now! She's artistically talented, excels in sports, loves hip-hop dance classes, enjoys the outdoors, and is a pleasure to be around.
click for larger version
Denise was brought to Charlotte when she was only three-days old. The only things that Denise had with her was formula and a shirt. For the first 6 months of her life, Denise was sick because she was withdrawing from the substances her mother had ingested while pregnant with her. But, just like her sister, look at her now! She's intelligent, would love to have more homework and more school, loves to teach (She even offers pointers to her mom. Much to her mom's chagrin.), and loves to help others. She loves her ballet classes and, like her sister, is a pleasure to be around.
Under Charlotte's loving care and with a strong support group and circle of friends, the girls are prospering. Charlotte laughs, "I never thought I'd be doing this at this time of my life. But I wouldn't want to do anything else."
The three of them love to spend family time together. One of their favorite pass- times is cranking up the stereo in the living room and rocking-out to golden oldies. Usually it's Violet on the invisible "mic" and Charlotte and Denise on the invisible instruments. I bet they sound pretty good.

A Spider's Web
We are creating
A spider's web,
We talk in patterns
And weave our jokes,
We've spelt the future
And we're feeding
On the trickle down,
We suckle on the Y.

Davis-Thompson recognized widely as nation's first queen of track and field
Pauline Davis-Thompson is deserving of the greatest respect for what she has accomplished personally, and the glory brought to her country, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
A 15-year-old Pauline Davis, in April of 1982, captured silver medals in the 100 meters and 200 meters, in Kingston Jamaica, at the CARIFTA Games.
Later that year at the Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships in Bridgetown, Barbados, when she had just turned 16, the little Bain Town lass won four gold medals (100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters and long jump).
She was destined to become one of the greatest sprinters in world track history. Certainly, she evolved into our first queen of track, and subsequently, became the matriarch of a cadre of young Bahamian speedsters who collectively became known as the Original Golden Girls. I have emphasized previously the gallant role she played prior to the coming of age of her fellow Original Golden Girls.
There was Pauline Davis, often at meets when she was the only Bahamian competitive flavor, representing the country alone, without a coach or a national track and field executive to give support. She was the lone Bahamian female at that elite level.
She struggled through the hardships of a pre-ample funding era for professional track stars. She persevered and carried the baton by herself, until Eldeece (Clarke), Chandra (Sturrup), Savatheda (Fynes) and Debbie (Ferguson) made it into the elite circle.
Her achievements with the Original Golden Girls are of legendary proportions, an Olympic silver sprint relay medal (1996); a world championship (1999); and the Olympic sprint relay gold in 2000. Individual accolades of note, other than regional and Commonwealth medals, were the 1995 World Championship 400 meters silver medal; the 1999 World Indoor 200 meters silver medal; and the ultimate, the 2000 Olympic 200 meters gold medal.
This is a lady, without a doubt, to be revered for all time, and respected for the great body of positive-image performances the country and Bahamians have benefitted from. This original Golden Girl has always been feisty. She has never backed down from a discussion and to be truthful, is quite the opinionated one.
But, for the grace of God, go all of us.
Disagree with her, but respect Pauline.
Be disappointed with approaches she makes at times, but recognize her entitlement to express a viewpoint, just like everybody else.
In Doha, Qatar, at the recent International Association of Athletic Federations World Championships, Pauline, the grand lady of track, was given what many consider that organization's highest honor. She was saluted with the title "Honorary Life Person Member of the IAAF".
The underprivileged girl from Bain Town, indeed, has come a long way. Her colleagues from around the world respect and take great pride in being associated with Pauline Davis-Thompson.
Yet, this great lady was disrespected on the very same IAAF World Championships stage, about a week after IAAF President Lord Sebastian Coe paid tribute to her and two others, Roberto de Melo and Jose Odriozola. It was a great moment for the Bahamian sports brand. Yes, Pauline continues to contribute mightily.
She was due to present the medals for the men's 400 meters. This meant she would have presented the gold medal to her countryman Steven Gardiner and been at the podium when the Bahamian national anthem was played.
The great Bahamian, however, was denied that privilege to the dismay of foreign track and field personnel, and also Bahamas Association of Athletics Association (BAAA) President Drumeco Archer, who called the scenario the most embarrassing and demoralizing he has encountered in all of his years of track and field involvement.
This matter, will, of course, be revisited.
For now, though, let's continue the celebration mood all the way to national parade for our 400 meters specialist supreme, Steven Gardiner.
Afterwards, please, let the healing process begin, in earnest.

Vita TV Will Bring Gaming To Your Home
Good news for all you of you out there who want a PS Vita but don't feel like actually committing to the handheld: Sony has just added PS4 games to the selection of their Vita TV. Currently available in Japan, the device acts like a miniature console that allows you to play PS Vita games on an HDTV with the assistance of a PS3 or PS4 controller. While there is no word if the device will come to western shores, initial sales seem promising and Sony is optimistic about the future of the product.
This is great news for more casual gamers who are enticed by certain selections of Vita or PS4 games but don't have the money or interest in committing to buying the system, games, accessories, etc. that go along with them. With the update of new PS4 games the only major concern seems to be some slight lag time, but that is a probably Sony will be able to easily remedy. Vita TV seems like a promising addition to Sony's catalog of products and promises to expand upon the Vita's game selection and accessibility to a wider audience.

A New Way to Game
The advent of video game consoles such as the wii have changed the way we play video games. However, sometimes the amount of lag time between a players' movements and the characters' movements distracts from the game.
Recently, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and Disney Research sought out to fix this. Their solution was Lumitrack, a system with less lag time and a higher accuracy rate than current systems on the market. Lumitrack works by using projectors that emit barcode-like light patterns and optical sensors that detect those patterns.
Lumitrack boasts sub-millimeter accuracy and response times around 2.5 milliseconds. While it is currently using visibile light, it could be adapted to use infrared light.

Derby County rescued a point at Pride Park Stadium as Chris Martin struck from the penalty spot deep in the second-half in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.
In a defensive test in the first half for Derby, a miscommunication at the back handed Wednesday the opening goal through Steven Fletcher.
However, in a much-improved second-half, the Rams pushed from immediately after the break for the leveller and it came in the 82nd minute to move Derby to nine games unbeaten at home. The Rams were well on top in the final minutes, looking for to snatch all three points, fuelled even more so when Moses Odubajo was shown red.
Phillip Cocu gave the nod to 18-year-old Morgan Whittaker to make his full Sky Bet Championship debut after seven appearances so far for the first-team. He was one of four changes to the stating line up from the weekend with fellow 18-year-old Jason Knight returning as well as George Evans and Chris Martin.
Ahead of the game, a minute applause was held in tribute to Derby County's legendary manager, Jim Smith, who passed away on Tuesday night at the age of 79.
The visitors started on the front-foot and peppered the Derby goal with shot, but the Rams' defence held strong, particularly defending ten first-half corners for the owls. In the opening stages, back-to-back corners came and the first was brilliantly defended by Scott Malone. After the ball bobbled along the goal looking for Fletcher at the back post, Malone stuck his leg out to divert the ball out of play.
The resulting corner was half cleared but sent back in towards Fletcher again in front of goal, but as Davies came down as he was marking him, his body got in the way of his shot.
A third corner soon followed but Derby hit back on the break and showed some promise in possession, kick-started by the two youngsters Knight and Whittaker, but after quick passes through a handful of players, the attack fizzled out.
All Derby's efforts on defence came undone after 2 minutes through miscommunication at the back. Craig Forsyth sent a pass between Curtis Davies and Duane Holmes and the mix-up of the recipient gave Barry Bannan chance to swoop in and play forward to Fletcher who struck into the bottom left corner from the edge of the box.
The Rams best chance of the half came with three minutes to play in the half. Holmes' throw-in was sent in to the area to Knight who struck the volley over at close range.
After difficult opening half, Derby came out fighting in the second and immediately made an impression. From the restart, the ball was quickly played down to Holmes on the right of the box and his cross met the head of Martin at the back post who headed just over.
Moments later, they were on the attack again. Whittaker played a good ball out to Bogle who crossed in looking for Knight, but Wednesday's keeper, Cameron Dawson was able to beat him and get his hands safely on the ball.
Ten minutes later, good build-up play again around the box presented Knight with another opportunity from outside the area, but his low effort glanced just wide of the post.
In the 81st minute, the Rams were given away back in. Jack Marriott was set to pull the trigger from 12 yards out but was hauled down by Odubajo. Martin stepped up to the spot and sent Dawson the wrong way to level the score.
Odubajo was soon after given the marching orders for his second bookable offense and the Rams gave everything to win the game. In injury time, Tom Lawrence's corner was deflected inches over, before a goalmouth scramble ensued moments later, however the Rams couldn't get it over the line and in the end settled for a point.
Derby County: Hamer; Bogle, Davies (C), Forsyth, Malone; Knight (Marriott, 68), Evans; Whittaker (Waghorn, 68), Holmes, Lawrence; Martin
Unused Subs: Roos, Wisdom, Dowell, Lowe, Bird
Sheffield Wednesday: Dawson; Odubajo, Iorfa, Lees, Fox; Reach, Hutchinson, Bannan, Harris (Murphy, 61); Rhodes (Nuhiu, 72), Fletcher (Luongo, 78)

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — The Boca Raton legal community is buzzing about a bizarre email sent from the law offices of Isaacs and Reid promoting a deli's corned beef sandwiches by lawyers wearing necklaces promoting legal services.
The attorneys included a "Foodie Review" in the email with the following text which appears to be written unprofessionally. The text makes reference to the "English Jew" background of a restaurant owner.
"My Delicious Deli makes their own corned beef, which is delectable and not fatty. There's a choice of huge or humongous sized sandwiches. Everything they do at this deli is better than everywhere else. They offer health alternatives such as fresh salads with low fat dressings, gluten free bagels and breads, and low sodium, naturally cooked deli meats.
The owner, Barry, is an English Jew complete with the proper accent. The staff is amazing and everything is super fresh. They are a great deli that delivers if you spend over $30, so use them for breakfasts, office lunches, meetings, and mediation's. They are hidden in plain sight, opposite Publix in the Garden Shoppes of Boca."
No word from the Florida Bar as to whether it's acceptable for attorneys to promote a restaurant for "mediation" purposes. Legal advertisements are supposed to be reviewed by the Bar.

SERC/Urban and Spatial Programme Discussion Paper
Common and Spatial Drivers in Regional Business Cycles
Michael Artis, Christian Dreger and Konstantin Kholodilin
April 2009
Paper No' SERCDP0022:
Full Paper
We examine real business cycle convergence for 41 euro area regions and 48 US states. Results obtained by a panel model with spatial correlation indicate that the relevance of common business cycle factors is rather stable over the past two decades in the euro area and the US. Ongoing business cycle convergence often detected in cross-country data is not confirmed at the regional level. The degree of synchronization across the euro area is similar to that to be found for the US states. Thus, the lack of convergence does not seem to be an impediment to a common monetary policy.

Sarah - DD Kit - Stay Cool
I love the patterned paper in this kit (I just adore circles, dots and spots!) and the cut aparts were great too - the 'stay cool' and green banner on the bottom left corner are always handy. The most favorite part of the kit however is the surfing santa ribbon - you'd have to agree it is just so cute! The silver charm prawn is also adorable and totally us! Let's take a closer look;

Apparently, a hacked website is using the bug in windows' Help and Support Center as a "drive-by" attack, and hijacking PCs that are running windows XP. A drive-by attack is one that will affect your PC if you simply visit a website, as opposed to those that trick users into running code on their machine via fake emails or infected programs.
Microsoft declined to name the specific site that was serving the exploit, though they did say it was a site dedicated to open source software. The exploit has since been shut down.
The bug however, published last week by google security engineer Tavis Ormandy, remains in XP. Of course Ormandy published the damn thing, complete with proof-of-concept attack code, less than a week after he reported it to Microsoft, leaving the Redmond company with little time to patch it before it was made public.
Ormandy claims he released it so quickly because Microsoft wouldn't commit to a release schedule within 60 days, though Microsoft claims that they were going to give Ormandy a release date by the end of the week, and were surprised when he published the bug so quickly.
Regardless of whether or not Ormandy should have published or waited, the exploit is now public, and it's being used. So if you're running XP, we suggest you hit the Microsoft site to read the security advisory for a manual fix, or download the "Fix It" tool they published that should help block attacks until an official patch is released.

Current Conditions via WeatherLink 2.0
About Our Weather Station
Our MSS students, guided by our media center director Mrs. Monacelli, helped raise the funds toward the Weather Station through sales of "Faith-in-the-Flakes" T-shirts and in the Spring of 2018, the MSS Weather Station was installed!
Our on-site Weather Station provides multiple opportunities for students in all grades to take their exploration of weather science deeper. Some of the activities students participate in:
- Observing and recording weather conditions
- Learning how the equipment works
- Making predictions based on station information
Thanks to the generosity of Pastor Jon Greenstone of Elias Lutheran Church in Emmitsburg, our weather station can be accessed online! You can download the WeatherLink 2.0 app to your smartphone or tablet and check current weather conditions at MSS anytime. (Free account sign-up required to use app.) Or you can visit the Quicklinks on our website to see a summary of data.
Pastor Jon donated the online service in memory of his father, Renny Greenstone. As Pastor Jon relates:
...Even watching the "blips" (clouds) on the first weather radars contributed greatly to our quality of life today--let alone the safety and success of bombers and fighter planes who received the weather reports from those early Airborn Radar Meteorologists -- as Dad described "the NY city boys with the math and physics training." Who along with the men and women who were in far more danger and brutality of war efforts .... All our heroes to whom we owe our deepest gratitude.
We are honored to be able to share the Renny Greenstone Memorial Weather Station with our students and the community.

The author describes each move from house to cottage, to apartment, back to cottage, mess and whirl, and then to a new house in an infinite range, so you get exhausted.
Is it a kind of hobby asking George Manus?
George Manus
George Manus was born in England 14.05.39. His mother was Ida Nikoline Lindebrække from Norway and his English father George Bernardes. His parents divorced and George grew up, after the Second World War, as the stepson of war hero Max Manus in Norway. He got the name Manus but was never adopted.
All his professional life he was engaged in the Max Manus companies and leader of same for about 40 years. Throughout his adult life, he has thought about EVERYTHING, making notes along the way, as a basis for the books he knew he would write upon retirement.
George Manus has fulfilled his dreams and as of today has written several books. In his authorship one can sense the cosmopolitan, which isn't random. He has experienced a lot, lived abroad and for the last fifteen years been firmly ensconced in the South of Spain.

I like to think I'm a pretty decent speller. After all, I did win the school spelling bee in fifth grade. #imkindofabigdeal
That said, I spell inspiration C-O-F-F-E-E. An alternative spelling, derived from the Old French, would be C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E. Synonym: motivation.
I feel like I can't function without it. I also can't function with it, because my body seems to hate it. #itsnotyouitsme
What's a chocoholic to do?
I've loved chocolate pretty much my entire life, probably in utero. Coffee, not 'til high school. I was still dabbling in "cappuccino" (aka the purely-sugar-powdery-crap found in vending machines and gas stations) when I started college, but I soon moved on to the harder stuff. #gatewayjava
I spent my study time at the Beaner's coffee shop (so culturally sensitive) by campus, so basically all day every day. #pharmlife I had a finely-honed system that involved plastic wrap, paper towels, and ziploc bags to protect my precious coffee from being wasted by soaking the notebooks in my backpack while I rode my bike uphill both ways to class.
That was the beginning of the "wired but tired" feeling I soon recognized as normal.
It didn't occur to me to give up coffee until I started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet in 2010, my first foray into eating (and drinking) for gut health. Even then, I continued with it until I was pregnant and switched to decaf. I didn't give it up altogether until my baby had colic/silent reflux and I finally pinpointed the problem foods: citrus, tomatoes, and caffeine.
Buh bye, coffee.
The boost it gave me paled in comparison to allowing my little one to sleep. And, in turn, allowing me to get a few hours of sleep for the first time in motherhood. Glory be!
I stayed away from coffee and chocolate for a few years. It wasn't as impossible as I thought. Well, after the withdrawal migraines finally petered out…
I didn't bother trying it after I had my second child. I knew better. Or I should have.
I tried coffee when he was maybe a year old? It had been a rough night (week, month, year…), and I remember standing in the backyard with a travel mug in my hand, feeling the warm bliss flood my body. #liquidheaven
And then his eczema was abysmal. Which means his sleep was abysmal. I stopped again. Not worth it.
Coffee has been a fickle friend. The one who says nice things to your face and gossips behind your back. You all know who I'm talking about, especially if you're from a small town. #dontgetmestarted
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why. After all, that's what I do.
Many internet rabbit holes later, I was still confused. The theory that coffee could be cross-reactive with gluten seemed plausible. The possibility of gluten contamination in the roasting/flavoring/grinding/brewing process was likely. There's also the issue of mold contamination to consider, as well as a reaction to even trace levels of caffeine in decaf.
Many potential mechanisms to explain one sad truth: Coffee doesn't like me.
Why am I talking about this now?
Because I recently had a months-long love affair with chocolate. It's a similar situation to coffee. I feel worse when I have it, but I do it anyway. Especially when I crave it. Which happens when I take methylated folate and B12.
The good news is that I have some answers as to why. And it's not the line I used to parrot, "Chocolate cravings indicate low magnesium." Sort of. It's more complicated than that.
I won't do a good job of fully explaining this, so if you want the nitty gritty details, check out methylation pathways (specifically the biopterin pathway) at Dr. Ben Lynch's site.
Suffice it to say that the cravings weren't "all in my head", one of my biggest pet peeve phrases. After all, your brain is connected to the rest of your body, no?
Chocolate contains many neuroactive substances, including phenylalanine–a precursor to dopamine. In (cool) people like me with a propensity toward slow COMT and MAO, the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine are slowly metabolized. Supplemental methylated B vitamins can speed up the process and cause cravings for such precursors. Crazy, right?
The more I learn about biochemical processes, SNPs, and how they translate into our experiences in real bodies, the more I believe in listening to and trusting my body. You'd think it would be the other way around, that the science would make me veer sharply toward only anything that can be scientifically validated in a lab.
Not so.
It's somewhat entertaining to see ancient practices (such as meditation or food as medicine) become popular when their mechanisms are elucidated. Meditation is shown to affect energy metabolism and inflammation. An ancestral diet has shown impressive results in improving autoimmune disease. So on and so forth.
All this tells me is that I don't need to wait for scientific proof to do what I already know is good for my body. I also don't need to know the exact reasons why coffee is bad for me. I just know that it is. I don't need the anxiety, the headaches, and the wired but tired feeling.
I've been off of any caffeine whatsoever for over a week. I feel a difference. In a good way.
But man, I miss my old friends coffee and chocolate every morning.
And evening. And, well, whenever I need a boost.
So long, old buddies.
Doesn't it feel good to escape a toxic relationship?
-Lindsay, the Rogue Pharmacist

The Western Cape government has called for calm in the province, following the killing of former Hard Livings gang leader Rashied Staggie.
Staggie died on arrival in hospital after he was sprayed with bullets while inside his car in Salt River, Cape Town, on Friday.
It is alleged that two men opened fire on Staggie before fleeing on foot.
ANALYSIS | Rashied Staggie: Last of the Cape Flats' OG
Western Cape Community Safety MEC Albert Fritz condemned violence in all forms and called for calm following the shooting.
"It has been confirmed that Staggie was shot and killed this morning in Salt River. This follows the shooting and death of a reported gang member, aged 32 years, in Mitchells Plain yesterday (Thursday).
"Staggie was shot sitting in a car in front of his house in London Road, where his twin brother Rashaad was previously shot and burned alive by People Against Gangsterism and Drugs (Pagad) demonstrators in 1996," said Fritz.
A relative of Rashied Staggie (in the red and white t-shirt) points to the car in which he shot dead in London Street, Salt River on Friday.(Jaco Marais, Netwerk24)
He added that police had informed him that they were on high alert following Staggie's murder.
Fritz called on neighbourhood watches, CPFs and responsible community leaders to play a role in bringing calm.
"I have been informed that police forensic experts were on the scene of the shooting incident this morning. Staggie died on arrival at a nearby hospital. He was reportedly sitting in his vehicle when two unknown suspects emerged, fired several shots at him and fled on foot.
"Crime scene experts have combed the scene for clues that could assist the murder investigation. Woodstock police have reinforced deployment in and around the Salt River area," he said.
Fritz assured the public that his department remained committed to using every tool at its disposal to safeguard the citizens of the Western Cape.
He called on anyone with any information to immediately come forward and report it to their local police station.

DME spring tour: Iowa Ethiopia
Friday, Feb 14, 2020
Northwestern College DeWitt Theatre
Becky Donahue, Theatre Secretary/Building Manager
707-7341, email@example.com
707-7341, firstname.lastname@example.com
written by Jeff Barker; performed by the Drama Ministries Ensemble
Iowa Ethiopia starts where Barker's first play about Arlene Schuiteman, Sioux Center Sudan, ended. The sequel follows Schuiteman, a missionary nurse, from 1966 to 1977 as she helped open a "dresser school" in the city of Mettu, teaching wound care and other medical skills to Ethiopian health care workers. During those years, Schuiteman also witnessed a spiritual revival that swept through the country—a revival that touched her personally and resulted in surprising gifts of the Holy Spirit in her own life.
Both Iowa Ethiopia and Sioux Center Sudan are also books by Barker. Copies of Iowa Ethiopia will be available after the performance.

OOM-10 was a OOM-series battle droid[source?] used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. It was second-in-command of R2-D2's battle droid squadron.
- "Hold it. Where are you going with these prisoners?"
"We're transferring them aboard the shuttle from Citadel to Point Tarron."
"Point Tarron? There's no outpost there."
"Uh, it's new...we have orders. We're coming aboard."
- ―OOM-10 tries convincing a B1 battle droid into letting them leave the Citadel.
Originally built as a Confederacy of Independent Systems battle droid, this OOM command battle droid[source?] was captured by the Galactic Republic and reprogrammed to listen to astromech droid R2-D2's orders.
This droid along with two other reprogrammed battle droids helped Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and a squadron of clone troopers sneak aboard the Citadel in order to rescue Jedi Master Even Piell. After landing on the planet where the Citadel was located, this droid stayed behind with R2 and the other two droids. When R2 received orders from Anakin Skywalker to pick them up from a certain area of the Citadel, OOM-10, R2 and the other two droids flew the ship to the meeting area. When K2-B4, the tactical droid stationed in the Citadel arrived instead of the team, OOM-10 and the droids were forced to act as if R2 was their prisoner and were taking him for interrogation. When they were in the clear, R2 surmised that Obi-Wan Kenobi and his team would be walking into a trap.
He was right as Kenobi and his team were indeed captured but while they were being taken to the interrogation room, OOM-10 managed to convince the security droids escorting them to hand the prisoners over. They then rushed Kenobi's team back to the ship waiting outside, where they met with Skywalker's team. However, OOM-10's reprogramming had been revealed to the Separatists and a group of battle droids, droid commandos with energy shields and two crab droids rushed outside to confront the team. In the firefight which ensued, ARC trooper Echo was killed. OOM-10 and the remaining members of the team managed to retreat to the caves below the Citadel where they waited for the Republic forces that had been called by Kenobi to arrive. However, while heading for the extraction point, battle droids arrived and ambushed them. R2 then ordered the droids to hold them back while the team escapes. In the end, although the team managed to escape with only two casualties, the entire battle droid team including OOM-10, was destroyed.

Glenn Greenwald – Snowden Has NSA Blueprint
The Accurate Source To Find Transcript To Glenn Greenwald – Snowden Has NSA Blueprint."
[Glenn Greenwald – Snowden Has NSA Blueprint]
[Glenn Greenwald] Source: LYBIO.net
In order to take documents that proved that what he was saying was true he had to take ones that included very sensitive, detailed blueprints of how the NSA does what they do.
And so he's in possession of, literally, thousands of documents that contain very specific blueprints that would allow somebody who read them to know exactly how the NSA does what it does, which would in turn allow them either to evade that surveillance or to replicate it.
And that's what I was talking about, that he has basically the instruction manual for how the NSA is built.
There are other domestic spying programs that have yet to [have] been revealed similar in nature to the one's we have revealed. Or not somewhat in nature, or similar in scope. We are working on some of those.
[Glenn Greenwald] Source: LYBIO.net
Also, being able to inform people about the true severity of how much each NSA analyst has access to people's personal private communications with very little oversight, checks, or safeguards.
Even with the ridiculously severe and stressful situation that he has been placed in over the last three weeks, I haven't at all sensed an iota of regret or remorse or anxiety over the situation that he is in.
I think people around the world, populations around the world who have this distant government over which they exercise no accountability or control – to learn that sent foreign distant government is reaching into their private communications and stealing it, um feels very invasive almost like an attack, the headline in the Der Spiegel was: Germany Under Attack, meaning by the United States. It really is a form of electronic invasion.
[Glenn Greenwald] Source: LYBIO.net
It is not simply a matter of 'if he dies things get released.' It is more nuanced than that. It's really a way of to just protect himself against extremely rogue behaviour on the part of the United States by which I mean violent actions towards him, designed to end his life. And it is just a way of ensuring that nobody is incentivised to do that, and I don't really feel comfortable talking more about it than that.

In each manufacturing and service industries, the selection of how, when, and by whom components are handled is an essential technological selection. Materials handling covers the processes of moving, packaging, and storing a solution. Moving, handling, and storing materials price time and money but add no worth to the item. Therefore, operations managers are often searching for ways to lessen charges by automating the flow of components to and from an operation.
It is heartening to note, on the other hand, that the electrical energy and gas distribution sectors achieved an annual average development rate of 9.2 percent in the course of this period as against the targeted 7.eight percent. As regards the services sector, its performance was practically in line with realized price of aggregate growth of the economy. It accomplished an annual advance of four.7 percent as against the planned 6.7 %. Within the solutions sector, big shortfalls were skilled in trade, transport and communications, public administration and the defense sub sectors. The sub sector of financial institutions and insurance coverage, and ownership of dwellings, on the other hand, accomplished their targets.
Chain conveyors are one of the various forms of conveyors. A conveyor helps in transferring materials from one particular place to one more in the production unit. Chain conveyors have a chain attached to the system that helps in moving material in unit. The conveyor utilizes a continuous chain conveyors arrangement that has a number of supporting pendant.
Finally, it was fact and information a lot more than opinion that were restricted by these regulations. What these media restrictions limited most was the ability of South Africans and the Globe to know the full story of events that lay behind the editorials of South Africa as dictated by the Apartheid State legislature, capital and military interests, by way of coercion of Africans. Those who trumpet the virtues of Apartheid and its shenanigans, are mere adding insult to injury on the African persons who are nevertheless suffering the 'after-effects' of Apartheid.
Nip point: a point at which a machine element moving in line meets a rotating element in such a manner that it is attainable to nip, pinch, squeeze or entrap a person or objects coming into contact with one particular of the two members. The very same definition holds for the similar point with respect to two rotating parts of two converging parts in linear movement.

First introduced in 1956, the Original Tall boot is handcrafted from 28 parts and built on the original last for exceptional fit and comfort. This iconic style lies at the heart of the Hunter Original brand.
The story of the Wellington boot begins in England in the early 19th century. The Duke of Wellington commissioned famed London shoemaker Hoby of St James to modify his military Hessian boots. These first boots, the Duke's namesake style, were made of leather, cut close to the calf and were designed as a fashion item.
1856 marks the creation of the North British Rubber Company, later to become known as Hunter Boot Ltd. Using the newly patented vulcanisation process, the company manufactured rubber boots and overshoes, alongside waterproof clothing, tyres and other durable rubber products.
.- Handcrafted
- Waterproof
- Textile lining
- Original calendered outsole
- Adjustable strap to enhance fit
- Natural rubber
For Decent Man these are my fashion pair. Whether wandering around Brown Thomas, or back stage at a festival I feel good wearing these. The red box branding looks good with everything !

Texas Senator Ted Cruz announced his presidential run yesterday at Liberty University, an evangelical Christian school in Virginia, and brought up foreign policy. Jerusalem Post:
Cruz received an extended applause for criticism directed at US President Barack Obama's relationship with Israel. "Instead of a president who boycotts Prime Minister Netanyahu, imagine a president who stands unapologetically with Israel," Cruz said.
That line generated the single biggest cheer of the speech.
The comment apparently played well in other places, too. Cruz raised half a million dollars after his announcement. NBC:
In the first day that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is an official presidential candidate, his campaign raised $500,000 – a solid haul for a candidate who is in the bottom tier of polls and has been overshadowed by prolific fundraisers former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
The totals include a fundraising event he held in New York City Monday night, just hours after delivering his announcement speech to the Christian conservative student body at Liberty University. His campaign said 60 percent of funds came from large donors and 40 percent from online donations.
Who was at that New York event? Jewish Insider yesterday did a report on "Jews4Cruz":
Following his announcement at Liberty University in Virginia declaring his presidential bid, Ted Cruz will travel to the Upper West Side of Manhattan for a 'mega-fundraiser' on Monday night which, according to a source familiar with the event, will include several prominent Jewish supporters including… Weil Gotshal partner and top Romney 2012 bundler Phil Rosen, Andrew Herenstein, Mark Gerson, Nick Muzin, Raanan Agus, Rob Goldbaum, Drew Scoff, Shimon Rapps, Joe Davidson, and Trudy and Stanley Stern.
Many of these names are diehard supporters of Israel. Agus is a big deal at Goldman Sachs, where Cruz's wife is a partner, and has close ties to Israel and is on the board of a Zionist organization, alongside Malcolm Hoenlein and the chairman of AIPAC. Gerson heads an information services company and has written in the neoconservative Weekly Standard that hate-filled Palestinians seek to prevent Israelis from experiencing "bourgeois, Western desires." Herenstein is a Wall Street figure whose twitter account has a video on it, "Boo Hoo Palestine," stating that two states are a fantasy, Israel has never initiated violence against its neighbors, and "Arabs are jealous of Jews" because the Arab contribution to civilization is "virtually nil."
Phil Rosen's twitter profile is hardcore–
Attorney zionist love my 5 kids love Israel love America
and he's been tweeting praise for Cruz, trashing Peter Beinart, and mocking J Street, the liberal Zionist group as anti-Israel.
Muzin is a 39-year-old doctor who turned hard to the right during the Iraq War and got married in Israel. The JTA calls him a "dynamo" and says that he engineered the rapid rise from the South Carolina statehouse to the U.S. Congress to the Senate by Tim Scott of South Carolina; Muzin helped him to love Israel more.
Cruz hired Muzin last summer as an adviser. Jewish Insider then said that Cruz was courting Israel supporters.
Cruz & Jews Continue Their Love Affair – Sen. Ted Cruz Names Nick Muzin Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategy: Nick Muzin, a prominent 'Jewish Insider,' will join the 2016 hopeful's team effective Monday, July 14th. "Muzin, 38, is a physician and attorney, who is currently the director of coalitions for the House Republican Conference, where he oversees strategy and outreach for the 233 Republican members of the House.
Trudy Stern came to believe in Cruz last summer after a visit to Israel. He restored her faith in the US-Israel relationship. She wrote in a Long Island publication:
Amidst all these events, I found myself in the Hamptons for the weekend. While there, I was invited to an intimate gathering to meet Ted Cruz, a Republican senator from Texas (who, rumor has it, is considering a run for the presidency). As a co-president of NORPAC and co-chair of AIPAC for the South Shore of Long Island, I have had the opportunity to meet many senators, both Republicans and Democrats. Most are good, committed people who are dedicated to the betterment of the United States and the protection of Israel. But Senator Cruz was really special…
He demonstrated a depth of knowledge of all the issues facing Israel and how they relate to America. He said that it is possible to change this course, but we need to act now. He then presented a clear path and vision to restore optimism, hope, and a safer world filled with opportunity. His delivery was articulate, well thought out, and dynamic. He was a huge inspiration to me, and for the first time since I returned from Israel, I felt that there was hope for the future, for my children and grandchildren…
As the keynote speaker for a conference held by the newly formed In Defense of Christians group, Senator Cruz was heckled for equating the Christians to the Jews in their persecution by Islamist terror groups. He responded by chastising the group for their bigotry and walking off stage. Just before exiting, he said, "If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Good night, and God bless." These sorts of spontaneous and instinctive actions are a window into a person's real convictions. Ted Cruz is a true friend, and we are fortunate to have such an outspoken, articulate, and smart advocate for Israel.

A bipartisan group of senators has introduced legislation that would give Guardsmen and Reservists some of the same benefits provided to active-duty troops.
The Montgomery GI Bill Parity Act (S. 1136) would allow reserve-component personnel to use their GI Bill benefits concurrently with federal tuition assistance programs to fund their education.
Current DoD policy allows active-duty service members to use the programs simultaneously, but bars Guard and Reserve troops from doing the same. If passed, the bill would require the Pentagon to update its policy.
"Our legislation is all about supporting our Guard and Reserve members and ensuring they receive the benefits that they have earned," said Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D. "The Montgomery GI Bill Parity Act improves access to education benefits for Guard members and ensures that they are able to utilize their benefits in the same way as active duty service members."
Hoeven and Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., introduced the bill. Both are members of the Defense Appropriations Committee. Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., co-sponsor the legislation.
Boozman said the bill was a "simple fix to a problem that should not exist."
"Our men and women in uniform deserve the benefits they have earned without strings attached," he said.
Leahy, the co-chair of the Senate National Guard Caucus, said members of the National Guard should receive all the educational benefits the nation intended they receive. And Cramer said allowing service members to use both benefits makes the military and economy stronger.
"Current restrictions prevent service members from using GI Bill benefits if they are already using tuition assistance, making it more difficult to cover education-related costs," he said. "This legislation closes this loophole and allows service members to use the educational benefits they have earned through years of dedicated service."

Limited Rust implementation of the
Ink markup/scripting language for game dialog.
Ink is a creation of Inkle. For more information about the language, see their website.
Using Ink you can easily write a story or create a dialog tree.
* Branching is very simple[]: <>
just start your line with an asterix or plus marker.
Want nested choices? Add more markers!
* * A branching choice contains all information below it
of the same level or higher.
* * * [I see.]
* * Pretty cool, huh?
- - Use gather points like this to return all nested choices <>
to a single path.
* * [Cool!] -> fin
* You can organize the story using knots <>
and divert (move) to them, like this:
-> next_knot
=== next_knot ===
Simple and fun.
-> fin
=== fin ===
Ink is very powerful and has a lot more features than shown here. <>
Do note that `inkling` only implements a subset of all its features. <>
Hopefully more in the future!
Currently and likely for the foreseeable future the feature set is very limited compared to Inkle's own implementation. Available features are:
- Knots, stitches, glue and diverts, ie. basic story structure
- Choices, of sticky and non-sticky kinds, plus fallback choices
- Nesting choices and gather points
- Line text alternative sequences (sequences, cycle, once-only) and conditions
- Conditionals for displaying text and choices to user
- Tagging of lines and choices
- Variables in choices, conditions and text
- Optional: De/serialization of finished stories through
Likely candidates for further development:
- Variable modification in scripts
- Includes of other files
Difficult features for which I doubt my skill level to implement:
- Advanced flow control: tunnels and threads
- Verifying that all story branches are complete
See the documentation or provided example for a minimum viable story processor. Enable
serde de/serialization by activating the
serde_support feature. This feature derives
Deserialize and
Serialize for all required structs.
Writing this has mostly been for fun and to create a simple game, hence the lack of features. Contributions are welcome!


text: NEWS Mac Miller Turned to Drugs After 'Blue Slide Park' Criticism 1/29/2013 by Emily Maas FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME David Wolff - Patrick/Redferns via Getty Images Best Bets Albums 2013, Mac Miller Although Mac Miller's "Blue Slide Park" album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, criticism of the debut album made the rapper turn to drugs. During an interview with Complex, Mac Miller said that despite the success of "Blue Slide Park," the first independently distributed hip-hop album to debut atop the chart since 1995, the criticism ultimately made him addicted to promethazine, known as lean. "A lot of the reviews were more on me as a person," he said. "To be honest, that was even worse. You're 19, you're so excited to put out your first album, you put it out -- and no one has any respect for you or for what you did." During his Macadelic tour in Spring 2012, which stopped at many colleges across the country, Miller began using promethazine. As time went on, he was branded as a "frat rapper." The criticism and stress turned his recreational use into an addiction. "I love lean; it's great... I was not happy and I was on lean very heavy," Miller says. "I was so fucked up all the time it was bad. My friends couldn't even look at me the same. I was lost." Mac Miller Sued By Lord Finesse Over Mixtape Sample On July 2012, he was involved in a lawsuit over copyright infringement with one of his favorite artists, Lord Finesse. He had used the beat of Finesse's song, "Hip 2 Da Game" for his track, "Kool Aid and Frozen Pizza." The lawsuit has since been settled for an undisclosed sum. He tried quitting lean multiple times but wasn't successful until November 2012, before he began to film his MTV2 reality series, "Mac Miller and The Most Dope Family." Since quitting, Miller seems be on an upwards spiral to the top. "Mac Miller and The Most Dope Family" premieres on MTV2 on February 26 while his sophomore album, "Watching Movies with the Lights Off," is expected to debut in early 2013.

I personally liked Weizen ale and Red Indian lager. For those who like bitter flavoured beer better, try the Indian Pale ale. And not just beers, they serve good food too. We liked the Arabic Platter; it had hummus, tabouleh and baba ganoush served with toasted pita bread. The Tawa Biryani was well-cooked and tasted great. A good place to unwind after work and enjoy your friends' company at the cost of INR 500 per person. It has an amazing rooftop view and has three floors - ground floor for sports screenings, first floor for family or a big group, and the second floor has an open-air setup.
