Numbness or cold in fingers ?
October 6th, 2009
For the past I year I am experiencing numbness in both my fingers and toes. Although I feel tingling and pain in my fingers but I can move them easily and can carry and lift things. Likewise my toes feel the smae though I can wriggle them. So far I have not taken any medication. What would you recommend.

Welcome to the forum!
The sensation of pins and tingling in hands and feet can be due to peripheral neuropathies or peripheral vascular pathologies like deep vein thrombosis and faulty deep vein valves. Hypoparathyroidism should be looked into apart from hypothyroidism and diabetes. Neck strain, spondylotic changes in cervical vertebrae, bone disease or bad posture should be looked into. Multiple sclerosis and G B Syndrome (chances are less) are two other possibilities. Nerve infections as in Lymeâs disease too should be investigated.
However confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net. Please discuss this with an internal medicine specialist or your PCP and get the required investigations done. Hope this helps. Take care!

NEW YORK - Investigators of the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq said Tuesday there was not enough evidence to show that Secretary-General Kofi Annan knew of a contract bid by his son's Swiss employer. However, they criticized the U.N. chief for not properly investigating possible conflicts of interest in the matter.

Asked if he was planning to step down in a response to the program, Annan replied, "Hell, no."
The report released Tuesday also accused the company, Cotecna Inspection S.A., and Annan's son, Kojo, of trying to conceal their relationship after the contract was awarded. It also faulted Kofi Annan for conducting a one-day investigation into the matter, saying it should have been a more rigorous, independent probe.
The report's conclusion was not the clear vindication that the secretary-general had wanted, though the investigation led by former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker did not accuse the U.N. chief of corruption or any other wrongdoing.
While Kofi Annan said he accepted that criticism, he was happy with the report's findings he committed no wrongdoing.
At a press conference after the report was released, Volcker said the investigation found no evidence that Kofi Annan improperly influenced the process by which Cotecna was selected for an inspection contract under the oil-for-food program.
"Our investigation has disclosed several instances in which he might, or could have become aware, of Cotecna's participation in the bidding process," Volcker said. "However, there is neither convincing testimony to that effect nor any documentary evidence."

DLG crash detectives.. Or, was there something wrong with this wing?
Hi all,
Unfortuneately, I crashed my DLG today on only my third time flying it. But I'm not sure what caused it. Here are the facts, any thoughts on the cause, or any unique repair hints are greatly appreciated.
I bought the plane used, it's about a year old. I first flew it last week, and it flew well. I was giving it medium strength tosses. Today at lunch I flew it for 15 minutes, launching it twice at medium strength tosses (the thermals were amazing). Then after work I took it out again, hand tossed it twice, then went to discus it. The plane made that horrible rapid thumping noise, like flutter, and instead of climbing, slowly arched over and drove into the ground and 30 feet in front of me and at about 40 degrees.
On inspection, we found this: the plane mostly ok. The top of the nose pod broken off a few inches back, the battery ejected, but the servo's still in place. That was expected, but here's what confused me: the wing seemed fine, except the right flaperon's (the side opposite the throwing peg) top skin had come completely off, just like you peeled it back. The foam was still attached to the bottom skin that was live-hinged to the rest of the wing from the root out to about where the control horn was located on the flaperon. Then pretty much the rest of the foam was attached to the top skin. The pictures were explain this best.
After the crash the rudder, elevatr, and both flap servo's were tested and found to be working just fine, no broken teeth, in fact it all still works just fine. The rudder and elevator are all solidily attached still and have no real slop in them. I was standing there with three other people, one of them a fellow R/C pilot, and all agree I didn't take off with the flaps down. And besides, I've done that before and it doesn't make the plane pitch down.
Their theory is that the top skin most have been lose to start with, and the launch ripped it back badly and the crash ripped it all the way off. I want to agree with this, because a) the skin is very cleanly ripped off the foam, and I don't see any epoxy residue still sticking to the foam, and b) the crash would force the flap down; I don't see what force could have possibly caused the skin on top of the flaperon to come off.
Let me know if you have any ideas or you've seen anything like this before. Thanks!

My best guess is that the lamination/skin had started to 'part' fractionally from the foam on your flaperon. The speed of the launch with the wind assisting will have them subsequently peeled away the rest. The tearing up on the the mainwing would have been due to the "effective" massive down flaperon on the wing effect, pushing the flaperon surface violently up and causing the tear effects.
What I /do/ find interesting is that it looks like it happened on both front-corners of the flaperon, as apposed to just one.
I believe by the looks of it that the skin didn't go into the notched section of the hinge, this is a weak point for skin/foam bonding. To prevent this there should be either a thin layer of tape or other such skin going down into the hinge notch and over the exposed skin/foam bond.
On further examination I'm going to speculate that the delamination started at the root, pulled off quite a bit of skin then the drag effect pulled it back along the length of the wing inwards again to the tip.
I'd say that the bond between the foam and skin had been degraded somehow, either due to an unfortunate/bad cure/bagging, or due to exposure/wear.
How long have you had the wing?
Scary and amazing. What wing is it? Spar looks like Taboo or Raptr, but planform does not, so I suppose it is some non-production wing?
As for repair - I would get some laminating resin, apply thin layer, blot most of it off, align the parts, perhaps secure them with some tape to avoid any misalginment, lay the wing down between two sheets of polyethylene or polypropyleen film, put it on a flat table and press it down using some weights. Thin layer of foam rubber between poly and weights would be good idea. Put some glass over the tear on them bottom - not sure about it put I would use two layers of 1.4oz or similar glass. Sand the skin under the glass patch.
It's an ordinary plastic film. You can use mylar but then you must wax it, etc. And since the wing is already cured and in shape you do not gain much from mylar's stiffness that is required during initial bagging.
Advantage of the polyethyle and polypropylene is that epoxy does not stick to it and you do not have to wax it. Polyethylene has dull finish but polypropylene has very shiny finish.
Actully, I think I'm going to abstain here, because the plane was in a fairly major crash before I bought it. A mid-air at a contest, and if I recall it nosed it pretty big time. In fact, I think it was one of those where the two planes tangled, and the pilot of this plane ended up following the wrong plane out of the tangle while this one went off on it's own, deadstick! Man, I dread having that happen to me. At any rate, there was wing damage along with fuse crumpling, etc,etc - the things you would expect for a nose-in. That being said, I don't want people to skim this thread and get an undue impression that I'm questioning the quality of the original build.
Additionally, I was at that contest, and I'm friends with the person who owned it for more than a year before he sold it to me. He's an aggresive, competitive pilot with super throws, and he's never had any problems with it. And I think he would have told me if he had since he was selling it to me and told me about anything he thought might be wrong with it.
I'm confident this wasn't an original quality problem. Now whether that crash had some lasting effects, that's a good question.
I would say that prior damage could have been a factor in the crash. If the flaperon skin was loose and air got under the loose skin during a high velocity launch then this could lead to the entire skin peeling off the flaperon. The plane would be expected to do some crazy, uncontrolled maneuvers during the time that the skin/flaperon parts were in the process of separating from the wing. The partially delaminated skin on the wing bottom that is visible in the pictures is typically what you see from the heavy impact of a crash and I suspect that that delam happened as a result of your recent crash.
The moral of the story is that you should look for loose skin (on any model) and fix it before doing any high speed launches. That would prevent the type of crash you experienced. Fortunately it looks like your model is fixable as explained earlier in this thread.
In keeping with everyone's wish to avoid having people skim this thread and get undue impresions; I'd like to point out that the wing in the pictures is clearly not a TabooGT. All production TabooGTs have the logo on the right wing and the tip shape is different.
In keeping with the thread title, "DLG detectives", a quick reading of the second to last paragraph of post 18 in this thread should give a big clue as to where this DLG came from.
At any rate, I plan on attempting the repair this week sometime, so I'll let you guys know how it goes. I need a plane to fly at the BASS contest this upcoming weekend, I've already sent in my $30.

Founded in September of 2013, the Oakland Interfaith Community Choir now has over 100 members. OICC was started to fill a need in the community for a low-commitment, high-energy group that follows the same mission as its parent choir: to inspire joy and unity among all people through black gospel and spiritual music.
In 2016, OICC went on their first out-of-town tour to Eureka, CA, where they performed with the Arcata Interfaith Gospel Choir. They also hosted the first-ever Oakland Interfaith Concert for Peace and sang at the inaugural SF SingFest, presented by the Chromatic Community Music Center.
2017 Performances
- April 29: Spring Musical at the International Interfaith Gospel Music Conference, hosted by OIGC
- July 22: OICC Summer Gospel Concert
- November 4: SF SingFest
- December 2: 32nd Annual Holiday Concert at the Paramount Theatre
What does it cost?
There is a monthly administration fee of $20 to be in OICC. We ask that you commit to the full season (January–July or September–December).
What else should I know?
The choir rarely reads music; most songs are taught by ear. Bring a recording device or your phone to record the songs. Also bring a notepad to write down lyrics. Some singers also bring water to drink during rehearsals.
Are you currently accepting new members?
We are accepting new members for the 2018 spring season beginning in January.
Do I have to audition?
Nope—OICC is a non-auditioned choir. Just show up and make a joyful noise!
How often does OICC rehearse?
OICC rehearses one or two times per month at Imani Community Church in Oakland. Rehearsals are typically held on Saturdays from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
2017 Rehearsals:
January 14, 3:00 to 5:00 p.m

The free voice of the Church
2012-01-24 L'Osservatore Romano
The topic – the Church which invades spaces of public freedom – is taken for granted and also taken for granted is the viewpoint of the pamphlet by Sergio Romano and Beda Romano, La Chiesa contro (the Church against). It would therefore be more correct to entitle it Against the Church. Since it is a polemical tract, the book presents the characteristics of this genre: the superficiality of the sources (both historical and bioethical) and inaccurate information, as in the case of the information on the Italian National Bioethical committee, which a perfunctory check shows to be full of inaccuracies.
The book immediately shows a firmly-rooted xenophilia: Beda Romano thus faced hours of conversation with the secretary of the French Bioethical Committee, which is a very partisan source — interviewing the scientist who has headed it for years, Didier Sicard, might perhaps have helped establish a more critical discourse — but never met with a member of the corresponding Italian body. For his part, Sergio Romano writes that the separation between State and Church has been successfully achieved in all the European countries except Italy, basing this on a very partial interpretation of both the Risorgimento and the Concordat.
Yet the book also presents new aspects: the historical comparison of State-Church relations in the various European countries, especially in part two – more innovative and interesting – the treatment of bioethical problems without examining the moral and philosophical issues inherent in them but rather analysing the reality of behaviour in the presence of the technical and scientific matters in discussion. For every country, Beda Romano chooses to go into the subject in which, in her eyes, it has proven to be most advanced: organ transplants in Spain, the PACS for the cohabitation of homosexuals in France, artificial insemination in Denmark, cloning in the United Kingdom, euthanasia in Switzerland. Perhaps, in the authors' view, the ideal country would be the one in which all these "peaks of progressivism" were combined. Italy, however is the opposite, for it does not fit into any category of "good", "modern" or "scientific".
It is of course the Church which is to blame, known since the times of Galileo for obscurantism in her institutional situation and in her evil effects on the Italian bourgeoisie; returning to the argument that Italy's modernization failed because of the Counter Reformation – another commonplace which historical research in recent decades has broadly refuted.
Is it really so difficult to believe that the applications of technoscience or the juridical acceptance of homosexual unions do not constitute a test of modernity but rather give rise to anthropological problems because they transform our culture and thus that it is good that they are the object of reflection and debate, and even of a prudent suspension of judgement? Many lay philosophers and scientists, both Catholics and non-Catholics, are of this opinion. Instead, the pharmaceutical industries, researchers who want rapid fame and funds for their activities are not.
The Catholic Church is of course the one global institution that dares to express a critical judgement on a deliberately superficial "progressivist" trend. She is the only one that dares to denounce the possible negative consequences of these innovations, that essentially dares to stimulate a discussion to make people think and to ask for true reasons. And it is curious that for this very reason her being free and thinking – on certain topics hers is the only critical voice that can make itself heard throughout the world – should have been silent about obscurantism and the inability to face modernity.
The individual intellectuals who address the issues critically – for example, Testart and Agacinsky, in addition to Jonas and Habermas – remain in fact fatally confined to a narrow audience, often made up solely of intellectuals who speak their own language. The Church, on the contrary, speaks in a far easier way and makes herself heard everywhere. Disturbing, considerably, the little picture so dear to many of a nice modernity that makes progress without any dark patches.

Discussion in 'Strings' started by MonkeyMan123, Aug 12, 2009.
Is it the only poly that outperforms the alu power or other luxilon strings?
i think it does
Nooo luxilon is a whole new level string.no one knows what it is made from all other string companies want to find out
Im going to guess polyester.....
wow you guessed the million $$ formula :roll:
Luxilon cant be beat by any of the poly out in the market (IN MY OPINION) :grin:
That's interesting. I'm currently using PLII 1.15mm and I'm really loving it: great control, enough power, soft, comfortable, easy on the arm, good spin potential, yet it still has that crispy feeling that only polys do. I also used BAM and it's very similar, but it doesn't have the crispy felling.
Can someone tell me if there's a Lux string that performs like this, also in a very thin gauge, but is, in your opinion, better than PLII?
i think its preference. in my opinion PLII is the best non Luxilon poly, but other strings like SPPP and Cyber-flash are pretty much on par. Luxilon M2 might feel like Kirschbaum. what makes Lux so good though is that it feels like barb wire, and thats what makes it so special
No, but I think TF Black Code and MSV Hex out perform Lux!
Supra, which MSV Hex gauge do you use and which one do you prefer: PLII or MSV Hex? And why?
Sorry for so many questions
No problem, ask away! So far I have only used MSV HEX 17L 1.18 and it plays great! I really did not like PL II, I was able to get more spin with MSV Hex. It just bites the ball better.
Thanks for taking your time to answer me Supra
I'm currently using PLII 1.15mm, and I'm loving it( used BAM 1.15mm for a while but it just doesn't have the same crispy feeling tha tPLII has ).
Lots of people say great things about MSV Hex, especially 1.10mm diameter. I have one 1.18mm set to try, guess I'll go for it on my next stringjob. Too bad it's white, a black string would look sick in my racquets
I have three racquets, when I hit with two strung with TF Black Code/ Wilson Nat Gut and X-1/ MSV most of my shots go in. The third racquet has PL II/ Gamma Pro and I tend to hit more balls out with this setup!
I remember reading in another thread that your PLII stringjob was older than your MSV Hex one, is that right? Maybe it's gone dead...:???:
That could be a possibility, however I think Black Code is the oldest of the three with MSV being the newest!
Yet it still plays better than the one with PLII? That's nice to know. I've heard some people having durability issues with PLII.
Which TF BC gauge do you use?
I'm not a big string breaker anymore, like I use to be when I was using a pro-staff 6.0 95, so I wouldn't make any judgments on durability based on my use.
Another factor is that I only use polys in the crosses with either a multi or Natural gut in the mains!
Currently there is Black Code 16 in my frame, but I'll using 17 gauge next time for sure.
Of all of the poly string we have tested around here Lux is low on the list, due to it's short life span and cost. Lux feels and plays great for about 6-8hrs and then dies. We have found this to be consistent in all Lux strings. Our favorites are Tecnifibre RC or BC or Kirsch PLII; even MSV and WeissCannon performs better, hold tension better and lasts longer. Oh yeah and costs less, so for the Bux Lux Su.......
Cheers, TennezSport
I disagree, why give a thumbs down to lux because it doesn't last long, it is a string designed to give maximum performance for 4-6 hours of play for big hitters, not a string designed to give syn gut like performance for 20 hours like the majority of the new poly's I see overhyped on this forum.
Alu is the string of choice of most of the pro tour for a reason, it simply out performs all other poly's hands down for big hitters.
None of the strings you suggest perform better than Alu during its usable life,yes, they do hold tension longer,and are softer but so is syn-gut. The hype surrounding the softer polys now coming out is simply to get club level players to switch to a more expensive string that probably is not even the best for their game.
I would wager that half the posters you see hyping certain polys don't even have the strokes to use a string like Alu to begin with, than they come on here and proclaim a softer poly as superior, bet if we did a test without telling them which string was in the racquet half of them would rate a 3$ syn gut as superior to Alu, and hype it as the next great poly.
For me Lux BB ALU Rough was just too stiff and gave me tennis elbow. All the newer generation co-polys do not bother my elbow at all.
That is because the new copolys are designed to be on par with syn gut, not to give the maximum performance and control to big hitters like you get from Alu.
Dude, that's why this is an internet forum, where people come to discuss and exchange thoughts about everything related to tennis.
For sure Luxilon might be a great string while it lasts, and for sure it fits exactly what pros want and need, but it doesn't mean that what they want and need is what WE want and need.
Lots of us like the poly feeling, the poly feedback, but just can't handle stiff strings just because tennis is not what we do for living( as pros do, as you might know ).
If so many brands are releasing softer co-polys is because the market demanded that, because it's what most of us want and need.
The way you put your opinion, it sounds like we're all freaking retards that know nothing about tennis and barely can't tell the difference between a forehand and a backhand.
You're welcome to post your opinion, but in a respectful way.
You make some valid points, but the newer co-poly strings play quite a bit differently than synthetic gut and they are much more durable. I can easily pop synthetic gut strings after about 5 hours of hard hitting and I don't even consider myself a big string breaker. I have never broken a poly string before it has already gone dead and I easily get 20 hours of play from the newer co-poly's that hold tension well.
So while I am paying more for soft poly strings, I easily get twice the life out of them...not to mention I get more spin and noticeably better control. Soft poly strings are not simply more expensive synthetic gut strings.
Exactly. 10 char
Who is the "WE" you are attempting to represent as if you speak for the whole board.
Sorry if you took the tone of the post in a disrespectful manner, I just get tired of reading 5 new posts every day about how a new soft copoly is superior to Alu, and it is BS, for what ALU is designed for it is superior to any other copoly currently on the market.
These threads should read for a recreational player without big strokes, who wants a string that gives a very slight performance edge over a Syn gut,and doesnt want to restring after 4-6 hours playing time, the new soft copolys are an alternative, but saying the strings performs better than ALU is a joke.
Someone declaring soft copolys superior to ALU in performance because they don't have the physical ability to get the most out of it, or the inclination to restring often is ridiculous.
It is like declaring a VW rabbit a superior race car to a Ferrari because it is less expensive and gets better gas mileage.
I don't disagree with your post, some softer copoly's performance is in between that of Syn gut and Alu, I just disagree with statements declaring the softer copoly's being better than Alu from a pure performance aspect.
Tension maintenance and the players physical limitations are separate issues not related to a strings playing performance IMO.
Separate names with a comma.

Ikea makes pizza delivery a breeze on your bike
Always wanted to cart home piping hot pizza on your bike? John who has a "Freeloader" hauling attachments on his bike (a recumbent) is hot to go up to Ikea and get the parts needed to make his a PizzaLoader, a brilliant idea from Xtracycle. A Gorm shelf and Lansa door handle make this pizza loader for bikes possible.
Visit Xtracycle for your PizzaLoader instructions.
Updated! February 23, 2009
John sent me pictures of his PizzaLoader.
He says, "Here's the completed PizzaLoader (with kind of a yucky-color stain, but it's what I had handy).
I had to go to the hardware store to get some longer bolts to fasten the Xtracycle snaphooks to the bottom of the Gorm shelf. The Lansa handle worked perfectly to provide a "backrest" bar, which will also be a good connection for the little tiedown straps that Ikea has for packing your stuff on your cartop."
9 Responses to Ikea makes pizza delivery a breeze on your bike
Hi, that's our pizza loader that my husband, Jeremy, and I assembled from Ikea parts to use with our Xtracycle. The Xtracycle isn't typically put on a recumbent bike – it's a longtail bike kit in which the rear wheel is extended rearward to allow for extra room for hauling things (groceries, supplies, pizza, passengers, nearly anything!), while keeping the bike extremely stable for hauling such loads. Check it out here: http://www.xtracycle.com
(PS the bike in the photo is Xtracycle's new complete longtail bike, the Radish.)
cool hack. But that ain't a recumbent bike.
I love your blog-it's so entertaining and practical!
I do indeed have a recumbent with an xtracycle "Freeloader" installed, and I have sent xtracycle the pix before.
You can see a snap of it here (in the Ecovelo gallery of cool bikes):
I have hauled a bunch of things with it, and yesterday I made it to IKEA to buy the parts for the Pizzaloader — and ordered the little snapdeck gizmos from Xtracycle
(Which are wildly overpriced though! :^(
When they arrive and I've got the thing together, I'll send a snap to Ikea Hacker — the longtail recumbent pizzaloader! Pretty funny since lots of recumbent riders — including me — tend to be among the more, shall we say, anatomically gifted in the abdomen area! (Old guys with big bellies!)
I was about to say that the next time I hit Ikea, I was going to pick up a Gorm shelf for this. But then I realized, I'm pretty sure I have an extra sitting in my garage. I'll have to go check when I get home…
Excellent. Very good idea.
this is cool. i have to feature this in my bike-blog
If "John" has a recumbant with an Xtracycle on it, we want to see pictures!
mmmm, pizza.

Listen Hamline University law professor David Schultz discusses the legality of the appeal to parishoners by Catholic bishops
Minnesota's Catholic bishops are mailing out an appeal to parishoners, asking them to financially support an effort to ban same-sex marriage in the state.
The letter is expected to reach tens of thousands of Catholic homes across the state. It will ask for their help to win passage of a constitutional amendment that will restrict marriage one man and one woman.
Jason Adkins is spokesman for the Minnesota Catholic Conference, which speaks for the Catholic Church on public policy matters. He said the letter is responding to interest among churchgoers about the matter.
"We've had all kinds of requests about where can people give, and where can they donate, and so this mailing is a way to give them an opportunity to give to this very important campaign," Adkins said. "We haven't used collection plate money, parish assessments, annual appeal money, so this is really the first direct ask in most instances that the church is making."
Adkins said the letter suggests donations to Minnesota for Marriage, the main group campaigning for the amendment.
"Most of those contributions will used for mass media outreach, getting the message out and most likely TV ads," Adkins said.
Opponents have been contributing to Minnesotans United for All Families, which released its first television ad featuring a Catholic couple urging voters to defeat the amendment.

Foxwoods deals players winning hand with SAS®
North America's largest casino uses SAS® Analytics to help marketers understand and satisfy guests
Using SAS® Analytics, Foxwoods® Resort Casino captures and analyzes both gaming and nongaming data to develop more profitable guest relationships. Connecticut-based Foxwoods offers a wide variety of amenities in addition to its world-class gaming, including deluxe accommodations, fine dining, extensive entertainment, shopping and more. Facing increasing competition, Foxwoods is taking a deeper dive into powerful analytics from SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services.
Foxwoods generated a comprehensive view of each guest across multiple business channels – gaming, loyalty program, hotel, food and beverage, event ticketing, spa and salon, retail, and the golf course. Using SAS to analyze and report on its integrated data is helping management understand preferences and purchasing patterns and so they can optimize customer lifetime value.
Guest profitability and loyalty
"Foxwoods is making good progress strengthening its affinity with guests," said Kelly McGuire, Executive Director of the Hospitality and Travel Global Practice at SAS. "Using analytics with customer lifetime value methods allows the resort casino to address profitability and loyalty in tandem so it can focus loyalty efforts on its most profitable guests."
The SAS Analytics rollout is 90 percent complete, and analytics benefits already flow to CRM, staffing, gaming, hotel occupancy, demand forecasting for rooms, and optimizations based on business leads and customer mix. Tracking contacts across campaigns and segments helps Foxwoods avoid offer overlap. SAS® Enterprise Miner™ predicts how likely a guest is to respond to offers. Targeted offers are matched to individual preferences, so there may be 400 variations of a mailer. Foxwoods uses SAS to identify and then address potential attrition. With its more timely and targeted communications, Foxwoods raised marketing campaign ROI – reducing mailing costs while improving guest loyalty.
"With SAS, we align promotions with each guest's value and preferences, and that improves their on-property experience," said Roger Allen, Director of Database Marketing and Analysis at Foxwoods. "Our tailored packages showed an immediate lift, becoming even more profitable as those guests returned more frequently and stayed longer."
SAS underpins all Foxwoods marketing initiatives, including the loyalty program. Using SAS to create, execute and track monthly campaigns makes marketers more self-sufficient and reduces IT support. Labor-intensive tasks that once tied up several people for a week are now completed by one person in a day. Daily reports on promotional redemptions allow on-the-fly adjustments to help maximize redemption, making the process very efficient. A recent video on the SAS YouTube channel highlights the ways Foxwoods succeeds with SAS Analytics.
Self-service business intelligence
With SAS in-house, the answers are always within reach. Decision makers can drill into SAS reports to identify trends across segments and geographies, identify key elements of campaign successes, understand guests' full use of the property, identify new opportunities and improve marketing communications.
"Using SAS Enterprise BI Server, Foxwoods no longer needs to purchase reports from source system vendors," said Michael Kutia, Director of Hospitality Systems at Foxwoods Resort Casino. "We were struggling with a costly and time-consuming process of re-keying spreadsheets, PDF and Word reports each month. Our previous systems made it very difficult to answer questions about our business performance. SAS Enterprise BI Server shows us everything from operations to financial performance. With SAS, our executives – as well as marketing, gaming, hotel operations and retail managers – are making more knowledge-driven decisions without needing to call on IT."
Foxwoods Resort Casino is one of the premier entertainment destinations in the Northeast. As the largest resort casino in North America, Foxwoods offers a vast array of gaming in six casinos; AAA Four-Diamond hotels, restaurants from gourmet to express, world-renowned spas, awarding-winning golf, state-of-the-art theaters, and exclusive retailers.

ESC-Cypherbridge, Nabto web-server module with Microchip PIC18F66J60
Post a comment
Cypherbridge, a California based micro-board vendor, and Nabto, a Danish software firm, announced a new web-server module, the Nabto uServer module at ESC Boston 2010.
The Microchip PIC18F66J60-based module enables companies to design and test out web-based systems such as remote medical, industrial and consumer applications.
Key features:
- 64kb flash for code, 16 kb reserved for uNabto software
- 48kb for embedded logic
- 3808 bytes of RAM, 512 reserved for uNabto software
- 2808 bytes available for embedded logic
- 8-bit Microchip PIC18F66J60 controller
- Enhanced UART modules supports:
- RS-485, RS-232 and LIN 1.2
- 10-bit A/D converter 11 channels
- RJ-45 Ethernet connector
- RS-485, RS-232 and LIN 1.2
- Supports iPhone, Android and Windows Mobile smart phones
Windows 7, XP; Apple MacOSX, Ubuntu and RedHat Linux.
When you are targeting home weather-station applications and so on, you need to get the cost down, he said, in an interview.
They chose the Microchip part because it integrates the Ethernet phy directly on chip.
Steve Delaney, founder and president of Cypherbridge, described the module as a quick-start approach to building web-enabled applications.
It makes sense for up to 10,000 units, and then a customer would migrate to subsuming the Nabto software into their boards main system controller at that part, he said.
Using an FPGA to test out Internet applications is too costly and time-consuming, he added.
Gregersen and Delaney struck up a relationship when they met at ESC Silicon Valley earlier this year.
Pricing: $17 for 1-9 boards, scaling to $9.50 for orders of more than 1,000.
Availability: Now through Cypherbridge.
A development kit may be downloaded from Cypherbridge.

Age has never proven to be effective kryptonite against hockey's Superman.
Who knew it would be a patch of ice -- the very surface on which Gordie Howe famously chased a puck for five decades -- that would finally trip up Mr. Hockey?
As traffic crawled around the London region and bus cancellations forced folks to stay put -- including, unfortunately, a large group of Thames Valley Children's Centre clients hoping to meet the stars at the 51st London Sports Celebrity Dinner and Auction -- Howe hopped out of a vehicle and went down as if Rocket Richard had checked him from behind 50 years ago.
"I was smart -- I got my elbow straightened for the impact," the Detroit Red Wings legend said with a grin.
After all these years, it's still all about his elbows. The famous joint that delivered so many devastating blows to NHLers' chins wasn't sore enough to stop signing autographs for a legion of fans at the London Convention Centre, which included some kids who weren't even born the last time Howe laced up to play professionally -- and that was eight years ago at age 70.
"These kids come to see him because he's an icon, although the kind of humble person he is, he would never even know what that word is," Thames Valley chairperson John LaPorta said.
"I know this story," LaPorta said. "A girl started playing hockey and asked her father what number she should be and he said, 'No. 9, of course.' She comes here and sees Gordie Howe and can actually see the reason why she's wearing that number."
Two weeks ago at the retirement of Steve Yzerman's No. 19 jersey in Detroit, Howe received a roar that threatened to blow the roof off Joe Louis Arena. Yzerman shields himself from much of the cameras and limelight -- a quality Howe knows well, but has conquered.
"He's bashful," Howe said. "I know. When I first came up, I was embarrassed when somebody asked for my autograph. Now, today's players can sneak out the back door of the arena and no one will ever see them, but we couldn't do that. We had to walk through the crowds. Sid Abel told me if someone asked for my autograph, that meant they thought enough of me to care and that I better do right by them.
"I never liked signing autographs; so messy you can't read them sometimes. I really watched someone do a 'G' and an 'H' perfectly one time and tried to copy that."
Montcalm high schooler Ivan Tran, a SPECTRA nominee, stood patiently in line waiting for Howe to sign one of his hockey sticks. The teenager never saw Howe play, but he saw Wayne Gretzky and knew the Red Wing was the Great One's idol growing up.
"He's a legend -- I never saw him play, but you go on the Internet and read the bios of him and see the stories of what he was able to do," Tran said.
When the folks weren't drawn to Howe, the belts belonging to Sarnia boxer Steve Molitor -- the reigning International Boxing Federation super-bantamweight world champ -- and light-weight mixed martial arts champion Sam Stout of London were like magnets attracting a crowd. "It's a source of pride to have one of these and to be born and bred in Canada," Molitor said.
You need confidence to be a world champion fighter and you have to inspire confidence in your quarterback to become a successful CFL receiver, as Saskatchewan Roughriders ball-catcher Andy Fantuz did in his rookie season.
"The quarterback has a lot . . . riding on him and he comes in with a set of guys he believes in," the Chatham native and former Western Mustangs said. "All I did every day in practice and the games was to try to prove to (pivot Kerry Joseph) that he could count on me."
And there were definite benefits to playing among the passionate fans of pigskin-crazy Regina.
"We won the first playoff game (over Calgary) and when we got back, there was a band and a crowd of people waiting for us at the airport," he said. "That was cool."

Burning restrictions take effect soon
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has announced burning restrictions for several Minnesota counties.
The list includes Benton, Douglas, Grant, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pine, Pope, Stearns, Stevens and Todd counties and will take effect on April 16.
Restrictions are currently in effect for Anoka, Chisago, Isanti, Sherburne, Washington and Wright counties.
Beginning April 20, restrictions will go into effect in the following 13 counties: Aitkin, Becker, Beltrami, Carlton, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Mahnomen, Ottertail, Polk (that portion south and east of County Road 6 from the Manhomen County line to MN Hwy 92 east to the Clearwater County line), St Louis (that portion south of county road 16), and all of Wadena county.
These restrictions are put in place each spring to reduce the occurrence of wildfires, which can damage homes and other personalproperty.
Due to snow melt, warming weather, and dry vegetation, much of Minnesota is at increased risk of wildfires. The risk will remain high until green vegetation emerges. Until that time, no burning will be allowed in the affected counties unless a special permit is obtained from a local forestry office.
Special permits will only be written for extenuating circumstances such
as time sensitive construction projects and prescribed burning conducted
by professional firefighters. The DNR encourages the use of composting,
recycling, and chipping as alternatives to burning.
While debris burning will be curtailed, the use of campfires, if
smaller than 3 feet in diameter and 3 feet in height, will continue to
be allowed. Permits are not required for this type of fire if it meets
the above conditions and is monitored until coals have cooled.

Helena Bonham Carter IS the Doctor!
It's happened only once, way back in 1999. The Curse of Fatal Death, a Doctor Who spoof written by one Steven Moffat, featured Joanna Lumley as a female version of the Doctor. We laughed, we sniggered and we generally didn't mind the change of the Doctor's gender as it was all quite tongue in cheek….

Pop Culture
Hollywood Now: Chris Pine, Rachel Weisz & Ari Graynor, Plus So Many Babies!By Gerri Miller
New flicks with celebs in interfaith relationships and from interfaith backgrounds, plus their baby news!Go To Pop Culture
In life, Mara and Stephen Collins respected and enjoyed one another's religions. So it seemed only natural to do the same in death.
Brought together by an online dating service, Stephen and Mara felt an instant kinship. Both worked in the human services field near Boston. Mara describes herself as "culturally Jewish" while Stephen, raised Catholic, left the church several years before they met.
As a couple, Stephen attended synagogue with Mara and stood on the bimah during her adult B'Nai Mitzvah service. Mara joined Stephen's family for Christmas celebrations and grew so close with them that she now declares simply, "My family is Catholic."
The couple married in 2003. A few weeks later, doctors diagnosed Stephen with pancreatic cancer. In the months of hospice care before Stephen's death, Mara urged her husband to talk to a Catholic priest.
"Not for just anything, but this is where you came from, and you might find it comforting," Mara recalled telling him. He relented, and they found a young priest with whom Stephen connected. Ultimately, Stephen even received last rites, a moment Mara sensed helped her husband profoundly.
At Stephen's funeral in September 2004, Mara decided that while she wanted to honor her husband's Catholicism, she also needed to experience the familiarity of a Jewish ceremony. Both her rabbi and Stephen's priest agreed to co-officiate a service. They recited psalms in English and Hebrew. The rabbi said Yizkor (memorial service), while the priest gave the Catholic rites of burial.
"My belief is that funerals are for the living, not the dead, and I needed something to get through this because it was pretty awful," Mara said. Of the service and the shiva (seven days of mourning), she noted "it's a ritual I've done before. It's part of who I am."
For Stephen, she said, "he wanted it because it was how he was raised and for his family. That was part of what he was, and I think dying made him realize he was still a Catholic.''
"I think it ended up being a big source of comfort to both families," said Rabbi Jonathan Kraus of Beth El Temple Center in Belmont, Mass., who co-conducted the service.
While funerals like Stephens remain rare, rabbis and other religious leaders say the phenomenon is growing--along with new, complicated questions about death that reflect the rising number of intermarried couples in America.
With interfaith marriage rates hovering at 47 percent, according to the 2000-2001 National Jewish Population Survey, clergy increasingly are confronted with a largely unexplored frontier of uncertainties surrounding bereavement and mourning practices.
Some questions are practical. Can a rabbi officiate at the funeral of a congregant's non-Jewish spouse? Can there be a shiva? What prayers are said? Where can the couple be buried together?
Other issues--like whether saying Mourner's Kaddish for a loved one can bring comfort to someone who has converted to Judaism--have no answers in rabbinic tradition.
"All of these are somewhat new questions," Kraus said. "To a degree, we are now in a time period where these first interfaith families are beginning to deal with these issues. And there's a range of responses and sensitivities."
Sally Lesser of Cambridge, Mass., recently converted to Judaism, and at the time of her mother's death in 1998 she was living a Jewish life. She and her husband belonged to a synagogue, her sons were bar mitzvahed and, she said, "at that point, I identified more with Jewish tradition than Christian tradition." Her mother, however, was a devout Christian, and the funeral service reflected that tradition.
"It was very moving, very familiar," Lesser said. "Even though I personally didn't relate to it, I felt this had been my faith, and I knew how important it was to my mother.
"I didn't regret not feeling personally attached to this liturgy or worship or beliefs. I could appreciate its meaning for all of those around me."
After the funeral, she had her mother's name added to her synagogue's yahrzeit (anniversary of someone's death) list, and once a year she sent e-mails to her siblings--two of whom are ordained ministers--explaining the meaning behind the Jewish tradition of lighting a candle and reciting Kaddish on the anniversary of a loved one's death.
"It was nice to share that with them," Lesser said.
Clergy also are taking new steps to help support interfaith families during periods of mourning, said Dr. Paula Brody, director of the Union of Reform Judaism's Outreach Training Institute, which held its second-ever conference on the topic in March.
"Bereavement is an issue that needs to be readdressed," Brody said, adding she also often urges interfaith couples to start asking questions early about the type of service or tradition they want to follow if one of them or a relative dies.
"As I always say to young couples, the time that you don't want to start discussing differences in how I grieve, you grieve, is not when you're also going through grief."
Not only are interfaith marriages increasing, Brody noted, but with 27 percent of all Jewish intermarried couples between the ages of 35 and 54, many of them are dealing with the deaths of their own parents.
"As the population gets older, the question is going to come up more frequently," agreed Rabbi Kerry Olitzky, executive director of the Jewish Outreach Institute in New York, which recently co-launched a program with Synagogues: Transformation and Renewal (STAR), based in Minnesota, to help 18 synagogues become more welcoming to interfaith couples.
The Call Synagogue Home program will take place at temples in three different communities and, according to the groups, will provide congregations and clergy "with tools and communications to reach out to interfaith families during key life-cycle events and ritual celebrations," including death.
Olitzky said the questions for non-Jewish partners can be particularly complex.
"The question becomes 'How do I respond to that death? How do friends of mine who I've met in the context of the Jewish community, how do they respond to my mourning?'" Olitzky said, adding, "There's no script that has been written yet."
Brandeis University professor Sylvia Barak Fishman said she has found in interviews with interfaith couples that deaths in families often trigger untapped reservoirs of emotions--much in the same way that giving birth to a child does. Shaken to their roots in times of mourning, people often find themselves clinging to the traditions in which they were raised.
"The religious tradition they come out of may have a power and a salience for them they didn't know it was going to have," she said. "That can raise a lot of conflict that the couple didn't know they were going to have to deal with."
In some cases, she noted, the death of a parent or family member may make a non-Jewish spouse who had considered converting feel more free to do so. In others cases, she said, recalling an interview she conducted with a Japanese woman married to a Jewish man who, upon the death of her aunt, felt overwhelmed with grief that she was not giving her son a Buddhist tradition, "it opens up doors that people didn't know were there."
For Mara and Stephen Collins, Stephen's Catholic/Jewish funeral was a way for them to honor both their lives.
Mara buried Stephen in an interfaith section of Sharon Memorial Park, a Jewish cemetery in Sharon, Mass., and when she dies she will be buried with him. Their bronze plaque has a Star of David on one side and a cross on the other.
"Intermarriage is here to stay and it's not going away," she said. "We have to find a way to embrace it instead of just saying, 'bad, bad, bad.'"

Every Time You Watch FOX Saturday Baseball With the Volume Unmuted, You Get Stupider
They've got the "B" team announcers working today's Rays/White Sox game. (I'm not going to take the time to look up their names.) If people are below Joe Buck and Tim McCarver on the depth chart, you know they're useless.
Play by play guy: You know, an all-Chicago World Series is a real possibility this year!
Color guy: Sure, it's a possibility, but they both still have to get there.
Thanks, pal. Thanks so much. You know, it's hot outside, but it's not cold. My couch is comfortable, but it's not lumpy. I'm hungry, but it's not like I don't want to eat something.
What a zilch.

NBC Miami– A man was arrested for drenching his son's mother in gasoline, setting her ablaze and then chasing her with a long knife at a gas station Monday, Boynton Beach Police said.
Roosevelt Mondesire, 52, faces a charge of attempted first-degree murder for the attack on the 34-year-old woman, according to the probable cause affidavit.
Police said they responded to a 7-Eleven at 7088 Lawrence Road and found the woman with severe burns to her face and body, the affidavit said. Parts of her shirt were still on fire on the ground.
Surveillance video shows the woman running into the convience store, screaming as she tries to shut the front door. A man pulls her out of the store. Moments later she runs by outside ablaze.

text: Hi all, First please note that I am a complete newbie about the Wii and the most I know about it is that... Well, it's called a Wii and it's made by Nintendo Ok there's some exageration there but u got the point. Here is the question. I want to get a Wii for my mom's bday. Problem is, my parents spend their time between 2 different countries (Canada and Morocco). I want to know : 1. If I get her a Wii from Canada, will she be able to use it in Morocco (110/220 volts issue, does she need just a plug adapter or a whole power adapter) 2. Same thing about peripherals (Balance board...). Are peripherals "region locked" or are they worldwide compatible? Say she has a Wii from Canada, will a balance board from France work? 3. Same question as before, but regarding games. Thanks a lot for any help, Simo

Pictures of Kate Gosselin's Curly Hair
Love It or Hate It: Kate Gosselin Curls Up
While "The Rachel" had a much-coveted reputation back during the Friends days, Kate Gosselin's reverse mullet, also popular in its own right, is a bit more notorious. Besides Lady Gaga's extreme looks as of late, I don't recall a hairstyle as talked about since Jennifer Aniston circa 1996. Gosselin's unique cut has been the topic of much mockery throughout the year. I even Kate Gosselined myself, and you, too, can experience the "momhawk" with this Halloween wig. But it's not all about the straight locks for Kate, as the mother of eight debuted a wavy version of the distinctive style earlier today on her appearance on The View. Yes, it's essentially the same haircut we're used to seeing, but perhaps the addition of some slight curl takes a bit of the edge off, no? It's your time to tell us what you think.

My dad passed away not to long ago and he had a passion for smoking meat, so I thought I would take it up myself, as I have always wanted to do this. I built this smokehouse from salvaged boards and the door from my Dads old smokehouse, in fact its an exact replica, so I know there could be some improvements to it but I just wanted to replicate it! Anyhow here it is:

Villarreal opts not to play in Classic
Non-roster pitcher focused on winning spot in Royals bullpen
By Dick Kaegel / MLB.com
Villarreal, a non-roster pitcher in the Royals' Spring Training camp, wants to concentrate on winning a bullpen spot.
"I want to make the team here with the Royals and I feel instead of being two or three weeks there, I want to be at practice here and be part of the team," Villarreal said.
Villarreal, from Nuevo Leon, missed more than two weeks of Atlanta's Spring Training in 2006 when he played for Mexico in the initial Classic. The team had a 3-3 record and played the USA twice, splitting decisions.
"It was one of the best experiences I've had with all the Mexican big leaguers together," he said. "It was unbelievable."
He pitched in two Classic games, working 2 2/3 innings and giving up just one hit -- a solo home run by Atlanta teammate Chipper Jones in a 2-0 loss to the USA.
Villarreal followed the Classic with a 9-1 record and 3.61 ERA in 58 games for the Braves.
This year he would miss at least 10 days for Classic practice and games, more if Mexico advances past the first round.
"It's hard to do but that's how it is. This is work," he said. "Sometimes you do it for the Mexico team ... but now it's for me and for my family. Next time, for sure I'll go."
The Royals have six other players in camp who are on the provisional rosters of Classic teams -- Joakim Soria (Mexico), Jose Guillen and Miguel Olivo (Dominican Republic), Mark Teahen (Canada), Mike Aviles (Puerto Rico) and Lenny DiNardo (Italy).
"Any time we can keep guys in camp, great. But this was [Villarreal's] decision, we don't persuade people one way or the other," Royals manager Trey Hillman said.
"I would imagine being with a new organization that he wants to be as visible and have as many opportunities as possible. It's certainly not going to hurt my feelings but I wouldn't have held it against him if he'd elected to go."

Beltre 'battling' to bust out of funk at the plate
Beltre 'battling' to bust out of funk at the plate
NEW YORK -- Adrian Beltre was asked before Wednesday's game how his left hamstring muscle felt. "It's good," Beltre said. "I haven't used it a lot lately. I haven't been on base." Beltre is right about that. He was the Rangers' best hitter through June and July but went into Wednesday's game against the Yankees with four hits in his last 26 at-bats. He was also hitting .216 (21-for-97) with two home runs and six RBIs in his last 25 games. Prior to that, Beltre hit .384 with seven home runs and 22 RBIs in a 29-game stretch.
"I'm not how I want to be, but I'm battling to get out of it," Beltre said. "I'm just not feeling comfortable right now, but I always go through a stretch of the season where I struggle and try to find my swing. That's what I'm going through right now -- trying to find my rhythm and trying to feel comfortable." Beltre entered Wednesday hitting .301, the highest average on the team among the regulars who have enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title.

It's probably not legal where you live, it's just that the laws are not enforced. Piracy is against the forum rules here at WiiHacks, so choose your words wisely.
Well If you do not know then it is probably hardmodded. I am not going to tell you to update your system menu, becasue the latest update will block you from playing out of region games. At best you will need to know what drivechip you have installed or softmod your wii so you can install the latest IOS's. The out of date IOS's is what is keeping the latest games from working.
