The Ear Force XLa is the ideal headset for Xbox 360 gamers seeking a more immersive experience compared to standard Xbox LIVE communicators. Unlike basic communicator headsets that only let you hear chat in one ear, the XLa combines high-fidelity, amplified game audio and crystal-clear communication in a sleek compact design. The XLa also features independent game and chat volume controls and noise-isolating ear cushions, allowing you to personalize the audio and block out distractions.
If you're serious about gaming, then get serious about the sound. Step up to the Ear Force XLa and experience game audio like never before.
Amplified stereo gives an earful of top-quality sound the way the game developers actually meant the game to be heard.

Bass Boost gives your audio a kick in the you-know-what to add depth and realism to the sounds of the game.
With independent game and chat volumes, turn the game sound up & chat volume down. Or turn the chat up and the game down. The choice is yours.
Know how people tend to scream when wearing headphones? With Microphone Monitor, now you can hear your voice in your headset so you're not that person.
Soft, padded ear cushions help reduce external sounds, and the twist-cup design allows the headset to rest flat on your shoulders for those brief gaming breaks.
The amplified stereo sound produced by the Ear Force XLa will ensure that you hear your games loud and clear. We put variable bass boost at your disposal to give your audio a swift kick in the you-know-what when you need it to.
You'll be able to hear sound cues that are missed with conventional TV speakers, such as the sound of enemy footsteps or the click of a loading weapon in the distance.

Boko Haram insurgents kidnapped at least 185 women and children and killed 32 people in a raid in northeastern Nigeria this week, according to local officials.
Gunmen in pickup trucks attacked the village of Gumsuri, just north of Chibok, on Sunday, shooting down men before herding women and children together. News of the attack took four days to emerge because of a lack of communication.
In April, more than 200 teenage schoolgirls were abducted from the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School in northeast Nigeria. Several other innocent people have been injured, abducted or killed before and since, but this mass kidnapping has been the largest to date, gaining worldwide attention.
The group responsible for the abductions is Boko Haram, which means "western education is a sin." The group is an Islamic militant group in Nigeria. The goal of Boko Haram is to "destroy the secular Nigerian state" and replace it with an Islamic state.
Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, is elusive, operating mostly in the shadows. He resurfaces every once in a while in videotaped messages to mock the effectiveness of the Nigerian military or send messages to the public. A video obtained by Agence France-Presse shows what the leader intends to do with the girls: "By Allah, I will sell them in the marketplace."
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan remained silent for three weeks after the kidnappings in April. But he eventually pledged during a nationally-broadcast speech to find the girls. "Wherever these girls are, we'll get them out," he said.
The abductions sparked protests all over the world, including these women in New Zealand.
On May 12, a video emerged purportedly showing some of the kidnapped girls in Muslim headdresses. Boko Haram's leader claimed they had converted to Islam, and offered to free them in exchange for prisoners.
On Oct. 16, 2014, the Nigerian government announced a ceasefire agreement that included the release of more than 200 of the kidnapped girls. But it never went through.
Boko Haram leaders have now admitted they sold many of the girls into slavery or married them off to group members.
Boko Haram has terrorized northern Nigeria regularly since 2009, attacking police, schools, churches and civilians, and bombing government buildings. At least 5,000 people have died at Boko Haram's hands, according to a U.S. Congressional Research Service report, making it one of the world's deadliest terrorist organizations.

Woman Posts Picture Wearing Mascara Stolen from MH17
Woman Posts Picture Wearing Mascara Stolen from MH17
Stream WZTV Fox 17 Newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5am and News at 9pm.
(NEWS.COM.AU) -- A pro-Russian woman living in the eastern separatist region of Ukraine posted pictures of herself on Instagram wearing makeup she claimed was looted from the Flight MH17 crash site.
Mascara from Amsterdam, or rather from the field. Well, I think you know what I mean, said Ekaterina Parkhomenko, who posted a picture of the stolen mascara on her now-deleted account, according to Central European News.
Parkhomenko says she lives in the city of Torez, which is the same location where Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 tragically crashed on July 17 after it was shot down by pro-Russian rebels.
Describing herself as a separatist on Instagram, the brunette bombshell admitted that the makeup wasnt taken by her personally, but that she got it from a familiar friend.
I am just sick of all this Ukrainian stuff, she added. Sick and terribly furious.
The pro-Russian beauty sparked fierce outrage among users on Instagram, who dubbed the sickening photos disgusting and horrific, Central European News reports.
The attack on Flight MH17 killed all 298 people on board.
This latest incident from looting at the site comes after grieving relatives have called the mobile phones of MH17 victims -- and theyve been answered.
The reports appear to confirm that the belongings of people who went down with the doomed Malaysia Airlines flight have been looted.
Several grieving family members dialled the phones in desperation and they were answered by strangers with Eastern European-sounding voices, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports.
There were reports in days following the crash that people had ransacked the crash site and stole wallets, jewellery and other items from the dead bodies.

New tennis courts neededOct. 16, 2013 |
The tennis courts in East Longmeadow are among the agenda items for the upcoming Special Town Meeting on Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. at East Longmeadow High School. The six high school courts are very badly in need of work. Three of the courts were constructed in the 1960s; the other three were added in the 1970s. In 1997, a resident in town re-graded and resurfaced the front three courts. Since then, very little has been done to maintain these courts. At present, there are significant cracks – with weeds and grass – on all of the courts. The fence is dangerous and the doors don't have working latches. These courts are not only an eye sore; they are dangerous and pose a potential liability issue for the town. In their current condition, the high school tennis teams will likely not be able to practice or play home matches on these courts for another season. Recreation department tennis programs could also be in jeopardy. Repairing the cracks and repainting the courts will be expensive and will have limited, if any, guarantees. We've had several tennis court construction experts review the site, and all are in agreement that the best course of action is to rebuild the courts. The warrant article asks for a portion of free cash – $325,000 – to be used for court reconstruction. There is also grant money available from the USTA (United States Tennis Association) to assist in the funding of the project. Further, the East Longmeadow Tennis Association (ELTA) has committed $30,000 to the project. We need to act now before someone gets hurt, and while these potential other sources of income are available to help defray the costs of this project. As you might be aware, there is also a schools facility review in town – which may eventually lead to a rebuilding of the high school itself. We have been assured by the architects and Superintendent Smith that newly constructed courts will not be impacted by any future school building plans. The residents in East Longmeadow – including the high school teams – deserve newer, safer courts on which to enjoy this life-long game. Imagine your family enjoying tennis on beautiful new courts in your hometown. We need new tennis courts. Please come out on Oct. 21 and vote yes to save tennis in East Longmeadow. For further information, visit www.eltennis.org. Trupti and Mrinal Mali Karen and Michael Myers Cindy and Sam Pizzanelli Maria and Frank Tilli East Longmeadow |

The role of emotional dominance in violent situations and how to respond to confrontations is the subject of keynote lecture at the University.
Randall Collins, Dorothy Swaine Thomas Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania will give the next of Cardiff's Distinguished Lectures, hosted by the School of Social Sciences.
According to Professor Collins, emotional dominance of one's opponent is the key to what happens in violence-threatening situations. In his lecture he will consider what causes emotional dominance, looking at different types of situations such as prolonged struggles and stalemates, as well as the sequence of events and emotional expressions of those involved. Practical advice for dealing with violent situations will also be suggested.
Violence as emotional dominance: Micro-sociological causes takes place on Thursday 26th September in the Birt Acres Lecture Theatre, Bute Building. It starts at 6.00pm with a reception beforehand at 5.30pm. Tickets are free but must be booked in advance by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 029 2087 6935.
The Distinguished Lecture Series brings eminent and influential guest speakers to Cardiff University and a wider audience to showcase their work. Previous speakers include translator, playwright, novelist and poet Adam Thorpe; leading cultural historian Professor Robert Darnton; and Jon Crowcroft, Marconi Professor of Communications Systems in the Computer Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. All of the lectures are available to watch again here.

It was great .... the guide was informative and very hilarious!!

Great guide and unreal tour- definitely recommend
Great guide and unreal tour- definitely recommend
We left Wellington on a miserable wet morning only to arrive in Martinborough on the eastern side of the North Island in glorious warm sunshine. The tour was well organized and took us to four vineyards, not all of them open to the public. A very tasty and fulsome lunch was included with one glass of wine per person. No top ups allowed which was a bit mean - for a wine tour! Still, probably for the best!
A thoroughly enjoyable trip which lived up to all expectations.
A very enjoyable day with a very informed driver who went out of his way to give us the most. Explanations along the way made the day.Would have liked the lunch to be at a Winery rather than a cafe but maybe there weren't any Winery Restaurants.

I get a kind of oud "after image" that may be what you refer to. Usually when transitioning from indoors to outdoors, but not weeks after applying it or anything. So, I smell an oud indoors intensely for a long time, become anosmic to it practically - I am surrounded by it - then I walk outside and the clean fresh air, in its ABSENCE of that oud smell, creates a sensation of that very oud in an intense way. Again, like a visual afterimage. I also find the aromas of some oils act almost like complimentary colors and intensify the scent of certain ouds. There have been times I have applied some rose, and suddenly an oud I applied earlier in the day just sings out in response to the wash of rose aroma. I wish I had the phantom oud smell, though. Now THAT would stretch my oud budget considerably. I would be picky though - no phantom Ham Firl $25 Assam, please. Just phantom UNS Borneo select. )
"Lots of herbs, vetiver, patchouli...... TOBACCO. Yep." Taha - something I struggle with due to my limited oud experience: how does one know when smelling such notes that they are from the oud itself, and not from added oils or attempts to stretch oud? I sniff one of my Meraukes, and I am not sure if it is natural, or if that slight patchouli note is ACTUALLY a little patchouli. Honestly, I have the same doubt about those ouds that have such a strong tobacco note. I wish I could tell the real oil from that which has been adjusted. I am going to guess that part of your answer will be about relationships with producers and trust...
Well I have dug into my little collection of samples and have applied two indian ouds: 1) Oudhasi's Assam 15 year old 2) (I *think* its Taha's) Hindi but I don't know which one. I've had these two oils applied for a couple hours I guess. At first they both come off very "fecal/barnyardy" but the assault on my nose has gradually subsided. They smell smokey and salty, but the Hindi much more so. And something else I can't quite put my finger on. Barbeque-y. The oudhasi is a bit more mellow. I only applied a tiny amount. At first they smelled pretty much the same but over time the oudhasi has moved a little bit more towards "unisex" while the Hindi (i wish i knew which one) remains in its original state so to speak with the dairy farm smell having nearly burned off. I say "dairy farm" just to not be too repetitive but I mean "f/b"...
I'll be honest, hindi is still not my bag. But I've noticed that these have evolved over past few weeks as the first time I applied them I wondered why would anyone pay to smell like this? Definitely an indoor oil in my case. I wonder if these ouds might actually have an affect on ones appetite (as I've heard some essential oils can)...wouldn't be surprised to hear that indian ouds are either appetite supressig or stimulating. By the way, its nice to see that the compartementalizing of the threads has brought some of the old regulars back Wog and bluemoon. I don't have much to contribute here in terms of the greater oud education and so I'm a bit of a fish out of water. These and an Oriscents Malay Royale sample are the extent of my pure oud collection though I hope it might grow soon. I also have Sharif's Prince Bandahar (or Bandhar?), KF and PD which I already mentioned and some others that would better be discussed on the other thread(s).
"And, I can smell the same oil a week apart and I pick up notes I didn't before, or can't smell something I was sure was obvious the last time [snip] I really wonder if I'd smell the same notes today. Maybe the oil has developed, maybe the oils I've smelled in the intervening months have affected my perceptions, perhaps my body chemistry is altered etc." These are really, really important points to keep in mind when discussing ouds or evaluating them. I have found my reaction to change DRASTICALLY over time. All of these are very real in oud perception. If I had to pick I would say the biggest switcheroos in my impressions of oils has been due to the experience of additional oils over time. My reaction to what I had dismissed as cheap Indonesian oud from Magnifincense, for example, has completely changed since purchasing a few Malinau oils. Some of those oils were FANTASTIC, but I could not appreciate them at the time.
In the same vein I have gone back to an oil months later and have been amazed how bad it smells. The agarscents assam #3 is one example.
Yeh my agarscents Combodi Classic aged for the worse
The Oud that I've had the least consistent reaction to is AO's Shuyoukh (Cambodian/Malyasian blend). One day it seems to incorporate the best of both its parents, and the next I smell nothing but decomposed rot. I wonder if it's because on some days notes that compliment each other stand out, and on others an unfortunate combination of notes emerges.
I think I mentioned before that Shoyoukh is a lot like a "Malaysian Dark" sold by Magnifincencense (but the AO seems more refined). I know EXACTLY what you mean about the jeckle-and-hyde that type of oil presents. My version (Magnifincense) has a wonderful oudy dry down IF I can stomach the first hour of its development. Some days its first hours are revolting; on others it... well it doesn't delight, but it isn't disgusting either. By the way: I am REALLY missing Magnifincense. Their stuff was a gamble, but well worth it. Their $40 - $60 1/4 tolas were at times some beauties I have realized. I know we all like the top-shelf, high priced, exclusive vetted ouds, but I miss the lottery of those cheap ouds.
Here's the rub: So I revisit an oil after a year off. It smells worse, or better. How do I know if the oil has changed, or if I have changed, or both? Experience I guess, but still... there's some kind of philosophical paradox here that someone with a better tuned mind than mine can perhaps elucidate. I am certain that a huge part of scent perception is cognitive, not sensory, and so I know that changes in perception are as likely to be due to changes in my nervous system as they are to changes external to myself... can this be sorted out? Does it matter, as long as I am having fun?

I have 3 year old grape vines on a 20' long trellis; 3 plants spaced 10' apart with support stakes in the middle of each section. I have read that the arms coming out of the vines should meet but not overlap each other. This is also what I see in the multitude of vineyards around our town of Lodi, CA. I'm wondering if anyone might know the reason for this? They are currently overlapping but can be cut back if needed. My wife is of the mind that they will produce more fruit with more length, i.e., overlapping as they are now. I'm not sure. Also, the 3 plants are different varieties. Ideas? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Overlapping will be crowded, reduce airflow, keep leaves wet, reduce light penetration for fruit development, and be more conducive to fungal growth. |
It really won't hurt anything in your dry climate but it won't increase the yield either because the plants are competing with each other. If you want to increase yield make the trellis longer or wider. Yield is proportional to amount of sunlight intercepted. |

I just found this forum so please excuse any inconsistencies! My husband's father is Jerry Leland Foutch who lived in Council Bluffs, Iowa in the 1950's. Jerry's parents were Theodore and Nora Foutch. We're unsure of the Native American heritage as no one would talk about it, but supposedly Nora was a Blackfoot Indian. Is there anyone out there that knows of this family tree? Notify Administrator about this message?

Gwynne Dyer: ISIS returns the caliphate to the Middle East
"Listen to your caliph and obey him. Support your state, which grows every day," said Abu Mohamed al-Adnani, announcing the rebirth of the Caliphate in the broad territory between Aleppo in northern Syria and Diyala province in eastern Iraq.
It hasn't actually grown much more in the past couple of weeks, but it certainly intends to go on expanding.
The radical Sunni Muslim organization that conquered almost half of Iraq in a whirlwind week at the beginning of June has changed its name. Before, it was ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (the old Ottoman province that used to include Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel).
But now it wishes to be known simply as the "Islamic State"—for there can only be one such state, and it should include everywhere that Muslims have ever ruled.
ISIS propagandists have even produced a map showing the ultimate borders that their Islamic State lays claim to. Spain and Portugal will be part of it, because they were ruled by Muslim conquerors during much of the Middle Ages. Iran, too (although something will have to be done about all those Shia Muslims).
All of India except the southern tip should be under the rule of the Caliph, because Muslim invaders also ruled there as minorities for many centuries—and of course Serbia, Croatia, and Hungary will be part of the Islamic State, for the Ottomans conquered all the Balkans up to there. Not to mention half of Africa, and Indonesia, and southwestern Siberia (which was once ruled by the Sibir Khanate for a century or so).
There's no point in protesting that Muslims were never more than a small minority in many of these places, for the lads of ISIS believe that only Muslims—indeed, only Sunni Muslims—have rights. "The legality of all emirates, groups, states and organizations becomes null by the expansion of the Caliphate's authority and the arrival of its troops to their areas," al-Adnani helpfully explained.
So much for the fantasy. What's the reality? A group of jihadis have seized a big chunk of eastern Syria and western Iraq, erased the border between them, and declared an Islamic State. As little as 10,000 strong only a month ago, they have been rapidly growing in numbers as ISIS's success attracts new recruits—but they are obviously never going to reconquer India, Spain, or Siberia.
They aren't going to make a dent in the two powerful states to the north of their Islamic State either. Iran, being overwhelmingly Shia, is immune to their charms and far too big to take by force. Turkey, although now governed by an Islamic party, is still a modern, secular state that is much too strong to attack.
To the west and east ISIS is already at war with regimes that are either very tough (Bashar al- Assad's war-hardened dictatorship in western and central Syria) or very Shia (the south-eastern slice of Iraq, densely populated and with a large Shia majority).
The Islamic State's central position between its two enemies gives it a strategic advantage, but not a decisive one.
To the south are desert frontiers with more promising territory. Jordan's population is about two-thirds Palestinian, and even among the Bedouin tribes that are the mainstay of King Abdullah's rule there was some enthusiasm for ISIS's victory in Iraq. If Jordan fell, the Islamic State would reach right up to Israel's borders, with incalculable consequences.
Saudi Arabia would be a much tougher nut to crack, but the salafi religious ideology that animates ISIS is very close to the fundamentalist Wahhabi version of Islam that is the Saudi state religion.
That's why the Saudis gave arms and money to ISIS jihadis in the early days of the Syrian civil war, although they have subsequently recognized the threat that the organization poses to the Saudi state.
But even if ISIS gets very lucky, it is unlikely to get farther than that. Egypt blocks its expansion to the west, although the Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis extremists who are active in the Sinai peninsula undoubtedly have some ties with it.
Even its direct rivals in the Refound-the-Caliphate business—the original al-Qaeda, al-Shabab in north-east Africa, Boko Haram in northern Nigeria, and their lesser brethren—are unlikely to accept the ISIS leader as caliph.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who now styles himself Caliph Ibrahim, has clearly been preparing himself for this moment for most of his adult life: he even chose the name of the first caliph, Abu Bakr, as his nom de guerre.
His spokesman does not hide his soaring ambition: "We hereby clarify to the Muslims that with this declaration of Khilafah (caliphate), it is incumbent upon all Muslims to pledge allegiance to the Khalifah Ibrahim and support him."
They are not going to do that, and the sheer radicalism and intolerance of ISIS's members make it unlikely that their project will survive unaltered for more than a year or so even in the territory that now makes up the "Islamic State".
Nevertheless, it is extraordinary that the 7th-century caliphate has reappeared even fleetingly in the modern world. Bush and Blair have a lot to answer for.
How about the NSA and Mikey Hayden? Are they so busy with mass surveillance and digging up dirt that they missed 911 and now this:
"That's why the Saudis gave arms and money to ISIS jihadis"
Wow...Tony Blair would deride that as "conspiracy theory" - but back on Jan 2003,Blair derided
accusations that a Iraq war would be in pursuit of oil as 'conspiracy theory:
Saudis money explains all those shiny new Toyotas- but what about all those ISI black hummers?
"Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who now styles himself Caliph Ibrahim, has clearly been preparing himself for this moment for most of his adult life"
Wow....Yes, Blair,Gaddafi and Sarkozy were all probably very busy preparing themselves.They might have all gone to the same prep school - but Gaddafi went to the Royal Military Academy@Benghazi...and Abu Bakr went to the Abu Ghraib prep school:

No seriously the world now knows who has paid for this debacle and it's uncle sam and the only country in the world named after it's ruler. The house of Saud. I like how they changed isis to another alphabet name after it was proven to be yanky security firm pulling the strings.

text: 000 FXUS63 KLSX 252144 AFDLSX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ST LOUIS MO 344 PM CST Sun Jan 25 2015 .SHORT TERM: (Through Late Tonight) Issued at 323 PM CST Sun Jan 25 2015 Precip over the CWA should be winding down over the next few hours as upper level impulse works its way SE into the Ohio Valley. Deformation zone that was so well defined this morning over IA and n IL certainly falling apart as the afternoon progresses, and have used a combination of regional radar and HRRR for PoP/weather trends heading into the early evening. It would appear that the NW edge of the precip (now all snow) will be near a KCOU-KILX line by 00z, with the precip dropping southeast and exiting SE sections of the CWA no later than 06z. Surface obs trends this afternoon indicate that rain begins mixing with snow @ 36-37 and is all snow at 34 or colder, and will use this for ptypes for the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening. Given warm ground and the light intensity of the precip once it goes to all snow, accumulations should continue to be very minor. Other question for tonight is how much clearing will occur as the storm exits and a narrow ridge of high pressure works into the region. Over the last few hours have seen a wedge of clearing wrapping around the surface low from S WI into NE IA. Some of this clearing may reach our area, but there is also a lot of additional low cloud to our north that will advect our way as well, so for now have only gone with partial clearing during the late evening and overnight hours. Truett .LONG TERM: (Monday through Next Sunday) Issued at 323 PM CST Sun Jan 25 2015 (Monday-Wednesday) Overall, going forecast heading into midweek still looks pretty good, so this package will include generally minor adjustments and tweaks to these trends. Fast moving shortwave in northwest flow will zip into the region on Monday, with WAA in advance of this feature rapidly shutting down the CAA occuring overnight in the wake of today`s clipper. 12z synoptic runs are suggesting a fairly strong N-S warm front will be located near or just west of STL by late Monday afternoon and have attempted to reflect this in max temp forecast, allowing highs to rebound into the middle 50s over mid MO while keeping highs in the 30s over our S IL counties. This temp trend also seems to be supported by the model RH progs which suggest a fairly thick mid deck sweeping from W to E across the area in the zone of WAA during the day, with the most clouds over our eastern counties during the afternoon. Some 12z guidance is even trying to kick out some light QPF near and east of the Mississippi River in the zone of strongest WAA. Have continued dry forecast for now, but will need to keep an eye on this as there has been some very subtle suggestions of this for several days. The cold air advection behind Monday`s shortwave will try to dip into the area Monday night, but with the longwave trof working into the east coast during this time the main thrust of this cooler air will be east of our area. Model consensus of thermal profiles over the region support highs in the 40s over most of the CWA by Tuesday as weak surface ridge drops into the Mississippi Valley. Warmup still appears to be on schedule for Wednesday, and main question is how much of the warming will be able to translate to the surface. Forecast soundings are suggesting a large inversion, with low level mixing up to 900-950mb. Surface/low level winds...while strong...are going to primarily be southerly rather than the southwest direction that normally gives us our biggest warmups. Also some doubt to how much cloud cover there will be, as GFS suggests some mid clouds working into the area during the afternoon while NAM suggests lots of sunshine. Due to the above uncertainty will keep highs about where they are now...ranging from the mid 40s in our far eastern counties to near 60 in the far western tip of our CWA. (Thursday-Sunday) Shortwave that works across the region Wednesday night and early Thursday appears to be the first of several chunks of energy that will be deepening long wave trof over the eastern U.S. heading into the weekend, while cutoff low forms over the southwestern U.S. Medium range solutions are in very broad agreement in developing this split flow pattern, and in general this should mean temps trending back towards more wintry levels after the mid-week warmup. Will continue some slight chance PoPs on Wednesday night/Thursday for eastern parts of the FA in advance of aforementioned shortwave, with slight chance PoPs also continuing for parts of the FA on Saturday and Saturday night as there is agreement in the medium range models that WAA, a bit of shortwave energy, and a frontal boundary will be passing through the area at that time. Guidance is in reasonable agreement with their thermal profiles through Saturday, but much like yesterday the operational ECMWF continues to be deepest with the upper trof and much colder than the GFS by the end of the period (it`s intesting to note that last nights ECMWF-based MOS had over a 40 degree difference between the warm and cold members for Sunday`s highs (58 vs 16). For now, will lean towards MOS averages for temp trends on Sunday...which will be in the 30s. This seems to be a reasonable compromise at this point, with additional adjustments occurring as specific trends become less muddled. Truett && .AVIATION: (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Monday Afternoon) Issued at 1142 AM CST Sun Jan 25 2015 Low pressure centered just to the east-southeast of St. Louis will continue moving east-southeast through tonight. Light rain falling across much of the area will continue into the afternoon, changing to light snow before ending early this evening. MVFR conditions south of the I-70 corridor are expected to fall to IFR this afternoon. IFR flight conditions are expected to continue to prevail at least into the early evening, with improving ceilings and visibilities as the precipitation comes to and end and the low moves further east. Some guidance suggests that the low clouds will scatter out overnight, however am siding with more pessimistic models at this time as there is a lot of MVFR and even IFR up across the Dakotas, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. One other feature of note, wind will be increasing substantially later this afternoon as the low pulls away. Expect north-northwest wind sustained between 15 to 20 kts with gusts potentially up to 30 kts. Specifics for KSTL: Expect IFR ceilings and at times IFR visibilities in light rain/drizzle this afternoon. Wind will increase to the northwest later sustained between 15 and 20 kts with gusts between 25 and 30 kts. Still expecting a little snow late this afternoon or early this evening. Confidence in the exact timing of the snow is not especially high though. Did not want to change the current 23Z transition time for the 18Z TAF because of this, but an hour on either side of 23Z still seems like the most likely. Snow should end quickly this evening with ceilings between 1000-2000 FT persisting through Monday morning. Carney && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES: MO...NONE. IL...NONE. && $$ WFO LSX

Morning dawns, and the rain has decreased to a piddle. The men paddle their canoe and arrive at a challenge. A challenge already! And no clue! Peachy welcomes the tribes to their first reward challenge, which he says will test how well they communicate with each other. He claims that "their ability to listen to each other and take direction" will determine the outcome, and all the women then stare and point at Christy. Because she's deaf! And she can't hear! And so she can't be expected to listen, can she? Thirty puzzle pieces are scattered throughout a clearing in the jungle. Each tribe will pick one member to act as a guide, while the other members will be blindfolded in pairs. The guide will vocally navigate the pairs through the muddy, obstacle-strewn course. Once all the pieces are gathered, the tribes can remove their blindfolds and begin piecing the puzzle together. The first tribe done will win the award. Peachy announces that the river beyond their camp contains a lot of food and "really big fish." The best way for them to catch them is with "fish bait," and Peachy dramatically unveils a jugful of bloody, pink animal parts. They all cheer because they like clumps of bloody, pink animal parts. It's a lot of whatever it is, and Peachy promises that it will provide a lot of food. Gross as it looks, the tribes could probably cook the bait and eat it, but that probably won't occur to them. Jaburu agrees to sit out Christy, and says Joanna will be their guide, while Butch will lead Tambaqui.
The challenge begins, and there's lots of yelling, bumbling, and all-out chaos. From the beginning, it doesn't look promising for the men: it's difficult to follow directions when you don't know you're the one being addressed. Before volunteering to guide them, Butch probably should have learned his teammates' names. His tribe isn't much better: they're grabbing at anything, ignoring his cries to "stop, stop, stop," and running into each other. Peachy smugly reminds the tribes that "it's all about clear communication," but that doesn't help Tambaqui, as we see Dave plow into Roger and pin him to a platform while Christy and Peachy crack up. Butch adds to the chaos by yelling, "Excuse me, Alex, I'm sorry, Mitch, I'm sorry, Matt! Matt! Matt!" Joanna, meanwhile, has taken a different approach. Her use of "paces" is a good idea, but her shriek to "Drop your piece!" only causes Heidi to put down a plank, raise her hands, and slowly back away. Peachy yells that the girls are way ahead, and Butch complains, "I can't see my other guy!" What are they, chess pieces? Butch then cracks up because Alex has picked up a stick instead of a plank, but oddly enough, Alex doesn't find it so funny. As the girls retrieve their last puzzle piece, Joanna shrieks, "Follow my voice! Follow my voice! Drop it!" The cameraman scores his second $50 Heidi boob shot, while Daniel yodels at Butch for instruction. Roger is also yelling, wondering if he has the right side of the piece, but it's not like they have to carry the pieces facing in the right direction, so I'm not sure why he's flipping out. The girls have begun working on the puzzle by now, and the men start shortly thereafter. Peachy reminds both tribes to check the "puzzle reference," and as Jaburu gets close to the end, Christy does an unflattering dance. Really, in the context of this show, there are no flattering dances. The girls finish up, and Peachy proclaims Jaburu the winner of its second challenge in a row. He hands over the bait mess, and assures them that they'll eat well for the next few days. Joanna yells "Hallelujah!" and points at the sky yelling, "You it [sic]!" Clearly, she's not this season's victor, since they've already met their God-loving, religious zealot, female African-American victor. While the men look dismayed, the women bop fists in victory and then claw over each other to hold hands and look united. Not to mention score some camera time.

Double factorial function
This functionality does not run in MATLAB.
n !! fact2(n)
fact2(n) represents the double factorial of an integer. The double factorial is defined as for even positive integers and for odd positive integers.
The short hand call n!! is equivalent to fact2(n).
0!! and (-1)!! both return 1.
If n is an integer greater or equal to -1 and smaller than the value given by Pref::autoExpansionLimit(), then an integer is returned. If n is an integer smaller than -1 or a non-integer numerical value then an error occurs. If n is a symbolic expression, then a symbolic call of fact2 is returned.
Use expand(n!!) to compute an explicit result for large integers n equal to or larger than Pref::autoExpansionLimit().
Expressions involving symbolic calls of fact2 can be rewritten in terms of the gamma function by rewrite(expression, gamma). Cf. Example 2.
Note that the double factorial n!! does not equal the iterated factorial (n!)!.
Integer numbers are produced if the argument is an integer greater than or equal to - 1:
fact2(-1), fact2(0), fact2(5), fact2(16)
A symbolic call is returned if the argument is a symbolic expression:
fact2(n), fact2(4.7*I*n)
The calls fact2(n) and n!! are equivalent:
5!! = fact2(5), fact2(n^2 + 3)
The function rewrite can be used to rewrite expressions involving fact2 in terms of the gamma function. In most cases, Simplify has to be used to obtain a simple result:
rewrite(n!!, gamma)
rewrite(fact2(2*n)/fact2(2*n - 1), gamma)
assume(n, Type::Integer): Simplify(%2)
For efficiency, the double factorial should be rewritten in terms of gamma if a floating-point evaluation for large arguments is desired. The following call produces a huge exact integer that is finally converted to a float:
The following call is much faster because no exact intermediate result is computed:
float(subs(rewrite(fact2(n), gamma), n = 2^17))

Legend Tips United To Win League
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel says that United will be the winners of the Premier League this season now that Robin van Persie has signed for the club.
The Dutch international signed for United earlier in the month and then scored on his home debut to help his new side beat Fulham 3-2. "I'm very excited about the season ahead," said Schmeichel in United Review. "And, for me, the signing of Robin van Persie is a real game-changer. "By bringing Robin in, we've shown our intent for the season – we've got the one player everyone wanted and we got him because we can provide a fantastic platform for anyone who has ambitions of winning trophies. "We have gone from being neck and neck with Manchester City to now, in my opinion, being ahead; our squad has greater depth than anyone else in the league."

Whilst I realise that it's ever so slightly hasty to say that I categorically could.not.live.without. materialistic possessions, sometimes when I'm getting dressed in the morning and don't know what to wear, it really does feel that way. You know what I mean? The 'I've got nothing to wear' panic which usually comes from actually having too much to wear and therefore you end up in your favourite items after several seconds/minutes/hours of feeling flustered. Thus, you probably couldn't live without them as you'd be leaving the house naked if they didn't exist, and I know for a fact that nobody's ready for this jelly; I'd definitely either catch a deadly cold or be shot in the head*
Alas, above. The 5 Fashion Items That I Couldn't Live Without. I think most are fairly standard and I'm quite happy that I can actually make a couple of outfits out of the picked items, so maybe I'm not so bad at equations after all (fashion related ones, at least!)
White Shirt // This one was a total coin toss between this and a plain white T, but in the end the shirt won because I wear shirts all.the.time.
Topshop Jamie Jeans // I'm not usually one to be so brand specific when it comes to posts like these, but ever since I purchased my first pair of Jamie Jeans in the Topshop Sale about a year ago, I've never looked back. I keep seeing them pop up on blogs, and quite rightly so. They're the best in the business, at least on a high street budget.
Chelsea Boots // In my humble opinion, if you're looking for a classic goes-with-everything** shoe or boot that can do everything from afterwork drinks to dog walking, the chelsea boot is your shoe of choice. And yes, mine have done both (and more)
Leather Skirt // No list of mine could be complete without at least one leather item, and a skirt is the one I've settled on (at least for today). I'm not picky on shape, just as long as it's [preferably] black and not ass-skimmingly short.
Statement Necklace // Because where would my boring outfits be without a statement necklace to spice it up – am I right or am I right?
*being overly dramatic to make a point there.
**or maybe just most things
What are your 5 Fashion Items you couldn't live without?
