MOSCOW, Russia -- Russia's navy chief on Friday called for restoring the country's permanent presence in the Mediterranean Sea, news agency reports said.
"The Mediterranean is a strategically important zone for Russia's Black Sea Fleet," Admiral Vladimir Masorin said while visiting the fleet's base in the Ukrainian city of Sevastopol, RIA-Novosti and Interfax-AVN reported.
"The objective is the permanent presence of the Russian navy in the Mediterranean," Masorin said.
Soviet navy ships used to be based at Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartus, and Russia still maintains a technical base there to serve its military vessels that regularly go into the Mediterranean.
Independent military analyst Alexander Golts said that from a military point of view it did not make "any sense" for Russia to be present in the Mediterranean.
Commentators have suggested in the past that Russia might seek to relocate part of its Black Sea Fleet to the Mediterranean if it fails to get an extension of its agreement with Western-leaning Ukraine on leasing the Sevastopol port when it expires in 2017.

Regular readers at Apocalypse Later will know that I'm emphatically not a fan of handheld footage. It's not that the technique doesn't have a place and it's not that there aren't decent shakycam pictures out there; it's that they tend to give me motion sickness and I have to watch them in my peripheral vision, hardly the best way to experience a movie. It's also that many (though not all) microbudget filmmakers haul out the technique not because it's the appropriate one for their story, but because it's cheap and it excuses them from doing all the things filmmakers have to do to make their movies look good. This film from the Scottsdale Community College Film School fortunately avoids most of the usual problems. For one, it runs a mere three minutes and that includes the end credits. It's also really not a horror picture, where the concept has been overused; it's more of an experimental science fiction piece. It maintains internal consistency because we're never quite sure what's happening, so have to figure it out.
And I'm not sure I've quite got there yet, but there are a few facts to base our interpretations on. What we see is a man running around at night and, for the most part, we see things from his perspective. He tries to avoid all the normal people, who stand still in some sort of somnambulist state doing precisely nothing. He especially tries to avoid the strange folk in white masks who keep popping up wherever he least expects, folk who are certainly not oblivious to his presence in their midst. He finds a hiding place, but is eventually caught, only to escape again and again. We have no idea who this man is, where he is or why he's there. We have no idea who any of the other people are either, as there isn't a framework for us to build on. There's also no resolution, which is why I can theorise without any fear of providing spoilers; this is emphatically a film to watch half a dozen times with thoughtful company to see if you can understand what it's trying to tell us. Maybe it isn't telling us anything.
The initial feeling is that the man is fleeing someone or something. He avoids everyone he meets and hides out in a bathroom. However, the white masks are right there, so they know exactly where he is; yet they let him be, suggesting that they're not pursuing him, merely herding him. It's notable that his second attempt to flee, having been caught and subdued but apparently left alone, follows exactly the same path as the first, including some of the same movements. Maybe he's participating in some kind of experiment and they're merely tracking their subject. The play with masks suggests a riff on the last episode of The Prisoner, where this unnamed man discovers that he's one of the very people that he's so keen to run away from. That would be the obvious psychiatric interpretation. It could be a recurring nightmare that explores that fear of being what he fears the most. There's certainly a lot of possibility for something that's only three minutes long. That's a plus.
Another plus is the style that director Anthony R Pisano and his crew conjure up. The concept of using masks may be a story element, but it's a visual one too. The first man in a mask we see is entering a room from the dark outside, which makes him look like a disembodied head for a moment. Positioning actors in patterns is a little freaky too, especially with the masks potentially doing the choreography. It reaches into our minds and triggers a surprising amount of reactions for something so short and vague. I also enjoyed the sound design, which sets up what could easily be listened to as dark ambient music. It's a combination of weird whispering, high pitched drones and a well timed tolling bell. The heartbeat that bookends the piece feels appropriate, as is the minimal theme by Jason McNeil that accompanies the end credits. I'm not going to pretend that I've figured this out yet but it did make me think and it's still doing that. I can even forgive the handheld footage. That must say something.

The Massachusetts women’s lacrosse team lost its third straight game to New Hampshire yesterday afternoon, 11-8.
The Minutewomen (2-4) came out firing after the opening whistle, scoring two goals within the first three minutes of play. Midfielder Haley Smith knocked in her sixth goal of the season to give UMass an early lead.
The UMass lead was short-lived, as the Wildcats (3-0) came right back with its own pair of goals as midfielders Hayley Rausch and Kate Keagins scored.
UMass took advantage of having the ball again off a dangerous play by UNH,. In one minute, five seconds, the Minutewomen offense scored three goals to lead, 5-2, after eight minutes of play.
The first of the three continuous scores came after attacker Jesse O’Donnell cut down the middle of the field. Jackie Lyons found her for the pass, leading to the Chicago native notching her 13th goal of the season.
Within 29 seconds of O’Donnell’s goal, Merritt Cosgrove took a shot at the net that bounced off to the left of the field. She retrieved her own rebound and scored.
The final goal of the rally came off a free-position shot from midfielder Danielle Pelletier.
Rausch stunned goalkeeper Katie Florence with a hard shot off a free-position, bringing the deficit down to three goals.
The next eight minutes of play had no additions to the score-line, with both teams failing on their chances at the net. It was attacker Allie Bratton who opened up the game again, notching her first goal of the year to bring the Wildcat deficit to a single goal.
UMass couldn’t find the goal after the 22:21 mark until freshman Lauren Terracciano tossed a pass to Pelletier, who scored her second of the game. Pelletier had the two final goals of the first half for the Minutewomen.
The Wildcats took control once again in the second half. With 19 minutes left and the score tied at six, defender Nazy Kerr mauled Keagins, which led to Bratton scoring off the free-position shot to give her team a 7-6 lead.
Midfielder Allie Duclos earned a free position shot after UNH was charged with attempting to run down the clock. Right off the whistle, Duclos whipped a shot into the back of the net to cut the Wildcat lead to 8-6.
Down three goals, Lyons returned to the field after a yellow card and sparked the Minutewomen offense at 4:35 to bring the deficit down to two goals.
Off the restart, with two quick passes through an open UMass defense, Shaunna Kaplan earned her second and third goals of the game.
The Minutewomen will take on Yale next Wednesday in its final game of a four-game home stretch at McGuirk Stadium.

It could be the best band name ever. It’s cool and mysterious, vaguely unspecific and, of course, time tested. It’s the kind of name that, even if you don’t know exactly what it is, you’ve probably heard before—or, at least you think you have. And the funny thing is, it was kind of random.
Timmins thinks it was Alan Anton, the band’s bass player, who suggested Cowboy Junkies. “That sounds cool,” she remembers thinking (though she doesn’t recall any of the rejected names), “Let’s go for it.” Thus, the Cowboy Junkies were born. And more than 30 years after devising that now-iconic name, they’ll be playing the Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center on Friday, April 6 at 8 p.m.
Michael and Margo Timmins are brother and sister. Add them to their other brother, Peter, and Alan Anton and you have the alternative country/folk/blues band, Cowboy Junkies. While Margo has never been in a band in which she wasn’t related to at least two other members (in the earliest days, another brother, John, was also in the band for first six months or so) she says that having her brothers in the band made it easier for her personally.

Hermione is an ordinary teenage girl, living an ordinary life and working towards her GCSEs at Ashton on Mersey High School. But after returning to school to begin a new term, strange things start happening. Who is the new girl in Hermione's PE class, and what secrets is she hiding? Who are the strange, sinister looking men hanging around the school? And what are the odd noises that seem to be coming from underneath the house in the middle of the night? These are just some of the questions that Hermione wants answering.
Hermione Applegate and The Secret Under the House is the first adventure in a new series aimed at children aged 10 and over. A collection of science-fiction, paranormal and supernatural stories, it will include elements of Harry Potter, The X-files, Doctor Who and Torchwood.
I'm not familiar with the title.
Is the name "Hermione" actually that common or is it just a coincidence that is the name of one of the Harry Potter characters?
It's a memorable name the kids will love.

This month we’re keeping our arrow project simple with a pretty act of kindness — May Day notes, with a dose of truth at the bottom and room to tape a bloom!
Download freebie, print on card stock and cute along dashed lines.
Gather some fresh blooms from your yard, a neighbor’s, friend’s, the store, etc.
Trim stems and tape to cards.
Place on front doors, cars, mailbox, etc. or give to teachers, friends, neighbors, etc. as a random act of kindness.
I often get caught up in feeling like the little things aren’t enough. Sharing a smile, encouraging word or single flower can’t possibly make a difference in someones heart or day but that would be a lie. Even Mother Teressa, who did BIG things and lived a BIG life, believed in the power of small things.
So this month we’ll be putting this principle into practice and learn to believe that God can do a lot with our little. Something that comes much more naturally to my kids!
P.S. – Another May Day project we did when Poppy was in my belly and Tilly had the sweetest bob!
Thank you so much–I will use these as part of my Children’s Message at church this Sunday! This week, we are focusing on “Grace” and are defining it as God’s unmerited favor to us. What better example of unmerited favor than a May Day flower!
Prior to seeing this email, I was merely thinking about blowing bubbles, and then using a bubble machine to show God’s grace as so much more–not really any solid plan at all, yet! Now I can tell the story of my kindergarten teacher teaching about May Day and helping us make paper-cone baskets to fill with flowers, and then link it to Biblical Grace for the lesson. Then each of our children can make a few of these to share; since we are a very small congregation, this will also provide something to keep them busy during the adult sermon!

Abstract: Nonparametric quantile regression with multivariate covariates is a difficult estimation problem due to the “curse of dimensionality”. To reduce the dimensionality while still retaining the flexibility of a nonparametric model, we propose modeling the conditional quantile by a single-index function View the MathML sourceg0(xTγ0), where a univariate link function g0(⋅)g0(⋅) is applied to a linear combination of covariates View the MathML sourcexTγ0, often called the single-index. We introduce a practical algorithm where the unknown link function g0(⋅)g0(⋅) is estimated by local linear quantile regression and the parametric index is estimated through linear quantile regression. Large sample properties of estimators are studied, which facilitate further inference. Both the modeling and estimation approaches are demonstrated by simulation studies and real data applications.

If you believe the commercials starring tennis great John McEnroe, renting a car is as easy as striding through rows of shiny new cars, picking one and driving off. We say: You cannot be serious.
For business travelers who rent through loyalty programs, the pick-any-car-and-drive-off scenario has some substance, but for the average traveler it’s just not going to happen. But how can a consumer make sure they’re getting the best deal when renting a car? And how can they avoid some of the pitfalls — and indeed horror stories — that seem to go hand-in-hand with renting a car?
Here are our 10 golden rules for making renting a car as satisfactory and convenient an experience as possible.
All the travel agents and car-rental experts we spoke to were unanimous in one thing: If you expect to show up at the airport without a pre-booked rental and get a good deal on your car, you can think again. This is especially true during busy times like weekends and holidays, when you’ll likely be in for a long wait in line as well.
“There’s tremendous advantage to booking in advance, you can do comparison shopping, go to different travel sites and individual rental sites and shop around for the best deal,” says Rike Wedding, of Car Rental Express.
If you’re really stuck, it’s often worth checking out off-site car rental locations if it’s possible to get to them from the airport. Many off-site rental firms can be reached by an airport shuttle or train connection in major metropolitan areas. Often a quick phone call to check availability is all you need, and prices are usually cheaper than on-airport operators.
Amid the extraordinary minutiae involved in car-rental insurance, it’s important to note that some drivers will already be covered by their own auto or household insurance for many of the insurance packages a rental company will try to get you to pay for. The simple solution is to check with your own insurance company before setting foot in the car rental office. This can often mean saving between $7 and $12 a day on renting a car.
While you may be covered by your own auto policy, the value of your rental may eclipse that of your personal vehicle, so make sure that you’re covered for a higher-priced vehicle if that’s the case. (Yet another reason to book in advance.) One benefit of buying insurance from the rental company is that any claim will not appear on your own auto insurance, therefore “clean-driver” or “no-claims” policy benefits will be unaffected.
A good rule of thumb — and particularly if using a smaller, off-brand car rental agency — is to take pictures of the vehicle before you drive off the lot. This, of course, means that a thorough inspection of a prospective rental vehicle must be undertaken.
Even the smallest imperfection should be documented. Check wheel rims, bumpers and fenders. Look for small dings on doors or cracks in glass. Also check the interior thoroughly, looking for spills or tears on seats or floormats. Snap photos of everything and review them on your digital camera to make sure you can clearly see the preexisting damage. This can help diffuse a fraudulent claim of damage — or an honest mistake — by the rental car company.
Gas prices, in our opinion, are high enough. But many car rental places fill up a car with gas before a consumer drives away on the proviso that a driver will return the vehicle with a full tank, or the company will fill the tank and bill the driver later. This is where consumers can get fleeced on gas markups often approaching 100 percent. Make sure to leave yourself enough time to fill up before returning the vehicle. And beware as well, of those gas stations near the airport that up their prices to take advantage of car rental customers desperate to make their flights.
“Always make sure you gas up before you return the car, they can really hose you on gas charges. Sometimes [you’ll pay] five dollars or six dollars instead of three dollars,” Fleetwood says.
Going through a travel association or car club often gets you a better deal on renting a car. Members of organizations or motoring clubs like the AARP or AAA can glean significant savings on rental rates, often between 10 and 15 percent. Costco shoppers also may benefit from tie-up deals. Scour newspapers or the Internet for discount coupons. Packaging your rental with your airline or hotel booking may also help cut costs a little, and most major travel web sites and travel agents offer some kind of package discount.
Make sure before driving off the lot that all charges are accounted for. Ask at the counter that all potential charges be detailed up front. Most companies carry an incremental charge for picking up your car in one location and dropping it in another, generally between $35 and $50.
But some one-way rentals between popular in-state tourist destinations — say between Miami and Orlando in Florida — may not incur an additional charge. Note that many rental companies offer free mileage as part of a rental package but, again, check this before leaving the counter to avoid additional per-mile charges that can reach 40 cents or more.
While the larger companies typically offer more choice of vehicles at cheaper prices, at certain times of the year or in some locales it’s good to check out some of the smaller independent rental companies. Smaller companies also can offer a more personalized service and more flexibility.
Remember, smaller companies add on hidden fees and charges just as frequently as bigger rental chains.
If you’re not near a computer, you can use a cell or smartphone to make a reservation as more travel sites seek to capitalize on new technology to make the rental experience more convenient.
Hiring a mid-range or compact car and expecting an upgrade to a larger or more loaded model is a common strategy among consumers, but it doesn’t always lead to the expected results. Around holidays, you can pretty much forget about an upgrade, but much will depend on individual circumstances. In some cases, consumers will even get downgraded to a cheaper vehicle, though without having to pay the more expensive rate.
“It’s a 50-50 situation, it really depends on the establishments. If there’s more demand for medium-priced and cheaper cars there will be upgrade. But if you go skiing in Aspen, those Suburbans are going to be highly sought after. Even if you’ve booked a four-wheel-drive you may get downgraded,” Fleetwood says.
“Try to book in advance. One trick is, if you can’t find anything available, make reservations for a couple days earlier then cancel, say you can’t make it and sometimes cars open up. I wouldn’t always recommend it, but it’s worked for me,” she says.
Getting hit by a surprise charge on a credit card after dropping off a vehicle is a major sore point. Our advice remains to leave yourself enough time to go over any charges before leaving the rental car premises. Many major chains will inspect the car there and then and present a bill for any damage incurred during the rental period, to alleviate the anxiety of a future credit card charge.
Still, some disputes will remain. Our experts told us to make sure that car companies provide evidence and justification for every charge they make before allowing them to charge your credit card. Make sure you personally inspect the vehicle with the rental-firm worker. If you’ve taken pictures of all damage before you drove the car off the lot, you should be in the clear.
In a lingering dispute, it’s helpful to have booked through a major car chain or travel agent, who often staff whole departments to resolve such disputes. Similarly, taking out insurance through a major outlet can often grease the wheels of an unexpected claim.
Remember, as in all things, you get what you pay for.

This post originally appeared at The New York Times.
Last week’s proposal by the Federal Communications Commission to allow Internet service providers to charge different rates to different online content companies — effectively ending the government’s commitment to Net neutrality — set off a flurry of protest.
The uproar is appropriate: In bowing before an onslaught of corporate lobbying, the commission has chosen short-term political expediency over the long-term interest of the country.
But if this is the end of Net neutrality as we know it, it is not the end of the line for fair and equitable Internet access. Indeed, the commission’s decision frees Americans to focus on a real long-term solution: supporting open municipal-level fiber networks.
The commission’s decision frees Americans to focus on a real long-term solution: supporting open municipal-level fiber networks.
Such networks typically provide a superior and less expensive option to wholly private networks operated by Internet service providers like Comcast and Time Warner.
The idea of muni networks has been around for a while, with bipartisan support. When the Telecommunications Act was under discussion in 1994, Senator Trent Lott, Republican of Mississippi, was one of its most enthusiastic supporters. Thanks to him and others, the act, passed in 1996, prohibits states from putting up unreasonable obstacles to any entity that wants to provide telecommunications services.
So why didn’t a thousand muni networks bloom? After all, the 1996 act was aimed at increasing competition. But private providers rightly recognized muni networks as a threat and in the subsequent decades have pushed through laws in 20 states that, despite the 1996 act, make it difficult or impossible for municipalities to clear the way for the sorts of networks that the 1996 act envisioned.
Watch how Lafayette, Louisiana prepared to get its fiber-optic network.
That means that the main problem behind getting muni networks up and running isn’t about the technology — which not only exists, but is already being used in large and small cities around the world — but about the politics.
Mere legislative change won’t be enough, however. We need to elect leaders on the basis of their commitment to changing America’s stagnant communications infrastructure.
There is much to be done at every level of government, but cities are the most promising battleground right now. Mayors, Republican and Democrat alike, are in the business of providing their citizens with services, and fiber infrastructure is just like a city street grid: Economic development, quality of life, new jobs and a thriving competitive market all depend on its presence.
Mayors, Republican and Democrat alike, are in the business of providing their citizens with services, and fiber infrastructure is just like a city street grid: Economic development, quality of life, new jobs and a thriving competitive market all depend on its presence.
Most important, cities have assets in the form of control over conduits, poles and rights of way that can be used to support the provision of competitive fiber-optic networks. Since 1998, my hometown, Santa Monica, California, has been saving money by shifting from paying expensive leases on private communications lines to using its own fiber network, called City Net.
The city planned carefully and built out City Net slowly, taking advantage of moments when streets were being opened for other infrastructure projects. Businesses in Santa Monica now pay City Net a third of what a private operator would charge and the city government has made millions leasing out its fiber resources at reasonable rates to other providers.
According to Christopher Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self Reliance, a national expert on community networks, more than 400 towns and cities across America have installed or are planning networks. And that’s not just good for consumers; it’s good for business. Companies are moving to places like Wilson, North Carolina and Chattanooga, Tennessee, because those cities provide public, inexpensive, high-capacity connectivity.
American cities need fast, cheap, ubiquitous, open fiber networks and every city has the tools at its disposal to get these networks built. But there are powerful and well-funded incumbents who will fight any mayor brave enough to consider the idea. If you’re furious about your cable bill and worried about Net neutrality, go tell city hall.

I won't try to tell you what to cut, that's a matter of personal preference, just want to remind you of some things moving forward.
Library of Alexandria- great in control decks that like to hold card in the grip until their opponent does something that must be answered, but not so good in decks that want to "storm off"
Flusterstorm and Mental Misstep-great cards in blue matches, less than worthless against Shops. I can agree with three Missteps, but more than one or two Flusters might be much. Leaving one extra in the side might bethe way to go.
Win-cons- Tendrils deck sometimes run two mentors or young pyros, but not three. Mentor decks run Jace sometimes, but I don't think they run both Jace and Tendrils. I think you'll need to decide on which is the focal point of your deck.
Wow, that's a lot of Tutors- seeing that Regrowth is a kind of tutor ( search your graveyard for a card...) well, that's a lot. I would prioritize your tutors and cut your least favorites.
Regrowth,Snapcaster, and Yawgmoth 's Will vs. Delve cards- simply put, they don't play well together. You should think of cutting Treasure Cruise if you want to keep all the graveyard shananigans, or go the other way. I wouldn't try both.
That leaves 3-4 slots. In these type of lists I like having lotus petal as well. You'll probably want some type of bounce Chain/Hurkyl's/Rebuild.
Probe is decent and great with the top deck tutors but duress will allow you to slow the game down a turn or two.
@Fisken may therapy is better than duress with mentor and cobra being in there? Necro seems reasonable too.
@wfain necro is definitely playable as we used to play it in these lists. I'd have to try games with therapy unless you just ran it alongside duress?
The function of Cobra in a Gush deck is to accelerate out big threats and bombs that are otherwise uncastable, like Necropotence, Jace, etc. in most Gush decks. If you aren't going to play those more difficult to play spells, then I don't think Cobra adds enough to justify inclusion. A single Jace and Gifts don't seem enough to me. Also, I can't imagine playing Cobra, and not playing Necro.
Lotus cobra is only worth the slot if you use it to power out higher cmc spells while operating under a gush manabase ( like Gifts, Jace TMS, Future sight or Mind's Desire).
I would personally advise you to play Lotus cobra with 3/4 copies of gifts in your gush storm deck, seeing as the resulting consistency gains give you something much closer to doomdsay's ability to go off. I've played cobra a lot and while there are a lot of ways to have fun building decks with it, it tends to be very win-more.
Mentor is not a very good plan b for a Gush storm deck, seeing as it's not very good in the matchup you want to fix (Shops). Pyromancer is much better in the shops matchup + for the role you'd want it in your gush storm deck and red is also a much better splash than white for you (Ancient grudge, dack, pyroblast and other options VS Swords and sideboard cards).
@Gonzo that does help a lot, and i do see your point.the cuts ive deceided on is 2 fetches, library, a regrowth, jace, and the two delve cards and i added a basic island. i'm considering changing my counter magic a little but im not sure, and the mentors im not sure if i want to go below three but it will need to be tested, i may cut a flusterstorm for another land.
@Smmenen I'll try out the list you posted and go from there, are there any changes you would make to the deck or would you still play the same list? one question i do have is why no misstep?
I personally would run red over white and run some copies of burning wish/empty the warrens in my 75.
That's because Steve gave you a list that predates the printing of mental misstep. You are obviously going to get demolished if you play that list with no changes in today's meta.
Not sure including Git probe in your list is where you want to be, as it takes valuable slots out of a deck that is already ultra tight on slots. Not to mention that it does nothing to improve your consistency like a preordain, ponder & co and using your life as a resource is not a good idea in a deck reliant on fastbond. Finally, as far as helping you go off, I think you would much rather have an extra flusterstorm than get to see your opponent's hand most of the time.
The only positive synergy I can see is with mentor which helps mitigate the fastbond reliance and helps you leverage the card's value better.
But I am not even convinced you should be playing mentor anyway, your deck already goes over the top with tendrils and pyromancer provides a much better plan b in grindy/attrition and mana denial based match-ups.
Gush storm typically does well in most blue match-ups and other combo decks but struggles vs shops and other more consistent and attrition based gush decks. Mentor doesn't do a whole lot to solve anything for you since it doesn't change the dynamics vs gush aggro decks (you have more raw power cards that add variance and they have more draw, control elements and incremental advantages), and it's higher cmc + the impact on the ability to exploit prowess triggers make it clearly worse than pyromancer against Shops.
And as said Red will give much better tools than white. White has powerful sideboard hosers, but you absolutely can't play Rest in Peace and you don't really need stony silence or containment priest. On the other hand you are more than happy to add dack fayden, pyroblast and ancient grudge which are all maindeckable and more relevant to your difficult match-ups.
@Macdeath for awhile i was playing a grixis therapy deck that had the tutors, yawgs will, and fast bond so i could combo but it did not have tendrils, would a list like be where i should be at? the list im talking about was good against the mentor decks and shops pre lodestone restriction but once lodestone was restricted i wanted to change decks because i didnt think pyromancer would be as good, is this not the case? would young pyro be better? the main reason for probe was to know what i need to do, whether to hold back mana for counters, go for the combo, go for a mentor, things like that, if i were to take them out one would be a preordain, but what would the other two slots be? a really weird thing is that in my testing of the deck ive had the exact opposite results, the big blue decks and storm have been bad match ups while shops and other mentor decks are good matchups, could this be because of inexperienced pilots playing the mentor/shops deck or am i just getting lucky? i put together a sideboard and in it it has no white, im going to edit the original post to show what decklist i have come to and the sideboard im currently testing.
Not sure you want the 2 cobras but I personally think they are necessary anytime you are playing 4 colors in a gush deck for mana stability.
Gitaxian probe is a fine card but I personally think it's usefulness is overrated in decks that typically don't win on the spot. I mean sure it's great knowing that your opponent doesn't have misstep and being able to fire an ancestral or something but most of the time you get to see their hand and a few turns later when the information becomes really relevant, the content of their hand has vastly changed and this is especially true against a deck with a lot of manipulation. For this reason I am not a fan of probe in control or control-combo decks. I also don't like the randomness probe adds and would rather use those slots for cards with more impact on the game.
But back to your OP, I think white just doesn't work with a gushbond + tendrils build, I have tried it a few times but each time they just end up being strictly worse than a Jeskai mentor deck. You basically become a win more version of that deck with more variance and less control elements. I feel like the pyromancer version is a lot more stable and more able to play an attrition game while retaining the over the top element with tendrils.
Is there anyway to make Cobra work without Gush? More of a Cobra Gifts Tendrils? I only ask because I dont own power and want to play in a local sanctioned vintage tournament but at the same time, wanna play tendrils and control.
If not I'm just reverting to ANT last minute.

I was so disappointed with this spray lotion. It was extremely greasy and felt like it didn’t penetrate my skin at all. The formula felt very thinned out, which is obviously so that it’s able to spray out of the can. It smelled good, but that’s about it.
Yes, it’s just body wash, but it smells SO good. It lathered well and the scent lasted the entire day.
I would hands down purchase this set again. The perfume smells amazing – very fruity (think berries) with a hint of floral. It makes me think of summer and is very uplifting. My favourite part is that the bottle includes a sweet lock and key charm (see below).
The formula is very unique. It applied like a cool gel and really does make your skin feel “woken up”. My issue with this product is that it didn’t seem to moisturize at all. Beyond feeling cool, I didn’t find it helped me at all, so I wouldn’t purchase it again.
This concealer covers really well and is perfect for on the go. I found it to be a little bit greasy for my problem skin, but it does a great job at hiding acne. The formula is very creamy and seems to last, but it does crease. It just didn’t work for my skin.
The sweetest charm on the perfume bottle.
Do you have any new products that you love?

There are two big problems that people have with gluten free baked goods. The first is that they don’t really like the taste as a lot of bakers choose the wrong wheat flour substitute when baking. The other problem that people have with gluten free bakery is that they are not too high on the textured of the baked good. Once again, the choice of the wheat flour substitute is to be blamed. In addition to that, flaws in the baking technique can lead to a poor texture of the baked good. When you are baking gluten free, these are two issues that you need to address to make sure that your baked good does not turn out to be a complete disaster.
To understand why people have problems with the texture of gluten free baked items, you need to first know what gluten does to the texture of cake or bread. The purpose of gluten is to act like glue and improve the elasticity of the baked item. As a matter of fact, gluten comes from a root word that means “glue”. The proteins that are contained within gluten can arrange themselves to trap gas bubbles. It is this alignment that causes the bread to have a certain degree of elasticity. In the absence of gluten, it can be quite difficult to achieve the airy cell structure that we so commonly associate with beautifully baked bread and cakes.
Gluten free baking is not possible without the use of flour alternatives. Wheat flour is the primary source of gluten. If you use wheat in your bakery, you will have to consume gluten. Low gluten wheat flour is not really an option for people who are suffering from gluten intolerance or celiac disease. There was a time when the only wheat alternatives that you could find in the market were corn, rice, pea, potato and tapioca flour. These wheat substitutes aren’t always the best options when it comes to baking at home. Even when these ingredients are properly ground, the baked goods that are made with their flours tend to have a gritty or rubbery texture. The softness and stickiness that you associate with high quality bread is simply not present.
Thankfully for people with gluten intolerance, the gluten free industry has progressed in leaps and bounds over the last few years. To meet popular demand, manufacturers have come up with amazing alternatives for wheat flour that are much better ingredients for baking than the traditional flour alternatives mentioned above. For example, you can now use millet, amaranth, kasha, quinoa flour, coconut flour, nut flours, gluten free oats, bean flours and teff for baking. If you bake with these “new flours” you will discover that they have much better flavours and textures to offer to your baked goods. Moreover, you have products such as xanthan gum, guar gum and a host of other binders in the market that enhances the elasticity and taste of gluten free baked recipes.
Improving the texture of your gluten free baked goods requires a bit of effort and skill. It is all about getting your baking selections and technique spot on.
When a recipe calls for you to use milk or water, simply use buttermilk instead. The reason for that is because buttermilk offers a much finer and lighter overall texture. You can also use carbonated water in place of regular water in pancake recipes. The purpose of this change once again is to give the baked item a much lighter texture.
Unflavoured gelatine is a fantastic gluten free binding agent. People who have used unflavoured gelatine in their baking before report that this ingredient prevents crumbling of the bread, cookie, cake or pastry. The key here is to soften the gelatine in the liquid of the recipe before using it as an ingredient for baking.
Using a combination of gluten free flours can give you a much better texture than relying on a single flour to do the trick.
Xanthan gum or guam gum can be very important for baking certain gluten free items, especially those that are prone to crumbling. Make sure that you add the gum to the dry ingredients. It is worth noting that the xantham gum is a better option than the guam gum as the latter can cause stomach ache in certain people.
This is a very simple step that you should never ignore. Don’t start baking with the dough immediately. Let it rest for a period of at least 30 minutes at room temperature. The dough becomes softer during the resting period.

Should You Buy DDR Corp (DDR)?
Concerns over a shift in Fed’s easy monetary policy have hit several hedge funds hard during the third quarter. A number of sectors are in correction territory. More importantly, Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) underperformed the larger S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by more than 14 percentage points between June 25, 2015 and October 30, 2015. Hedge funds and institutional investors tracked by Insider Monkey usually invest a disproportionate amount of their portfolios in smaller cap stocks. We have been receiving indications that hedge funds were paring back their overall exposure and this is one of the factors behind the recent movements in major indices. In this article, we will take a closer look at hedge fund sentiment towards DDR Corp (NYSE:DDR).
DDR Corp (NYSE:DDR) was in 16 hedge funds’ portfolios at the end of the third quarter of 2015. DDR shareholders have witnessed an increase in hedge fund interest lately. There were 14 hedge funds in our database with DDR positions at the end of the previous quarter. The level and the change in hedge fund popularity aren’t the only variables you need to analyze to decipher hedge funds’ perspectives. A stock may witness a boost in popularity but it may still be less popular than similarly priced stocks. That’s why at the end of this article we will examine companies such as Frontier Communications Corp (NASDAQ:FTR), CBOE Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ:CBOE), and East West Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:EWBC) to gather more data points.
To most traders, hedge funds are viewed as worthless, old financial tools of yesteryear. While there are over 8000 funds in operation at the moment, Our researchers choose to focus on the moguls of this group, about 700 funds. These investment experts shepherd the majority of the smart money’s total asset base, and by following their best picks, Insider Monkey has brought to light a number of investment strategies that have historically exceeded the market. Insider Monkey’s small-cap hedge fund strategy exceeded the S&P 500 index by 12 percentage points annually for a decade in their back tests.
With all of this in mind, we’re going to check out the latest action surrounding DDR Corp (NYSE:DDR).
What does the smart money think about DDR Corp (NYSE:DDR)?
At the end of the third quarter, a total of 16 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey were bullish on this stock, a change of 14% from the previous quarter. With hedge funds’ sentiment swirling, there exists a select group of key hedge fund managers who were upping their stakes considerably (or already accumulated large positions).
When looking at the institutional investors followed by Insider Monkey, John Khoury’s Long Pond Capital has the most valuable position in DDR Corp (NYSE:DDR), worth close to $97.1 million, corresponding to 4.2% of its total 13F portfolio. The second most bullish fund manager is AEW Capital Management, managed by Jeffrey Furber, which holds a $61.1 million position; the fund has 1.4% of its 13F portfolio invested in the stock. Remaining professional money managers that hold long positions consist of Greg Poole’s Echo Street Capital Management, Dmitry Balyasny’s Balyasny Asset Management and Jim Simons’s Renaissance Technologies.

Please report on any letters to the editor that you had published, radio or tv appearances, or anything relevant across the state that has some connection to a Libertarian issue for the regular feature IN THE NEWS.

Also please don’t forward me articles that have been published in some other newspaper or magazine for reprinting unless you have already secured reprint permission for the FSL. A short excerpt is fine, particularly if you are going to comment on it, but I’m not keen on making our newsletter a reprint vehicle.
I am also looking for advertising — do you know anyone who is willing to place ads? Or put a message in yourself to help support the MdLP. (It’s a convenient way to contribute by placing a business card, etc. — maybe you can deduct it as an advertising expense.) Ask your business associates, local vendors, etc. if they’ll at least put a business card ad in.

Over the years I've had Japanese food, it has always been the same. Sashimi, Bento, Teriyaki, Teppanyaki, Sushi or even Yakiniku. Its about time someone came up with something new, something enjoyable and something distinctive. Not totally out of context, but more of an improvement of the previous ideas.
Okonomi is one of them that delivers exactly that. Offering customizable sushi rolls with the ingredients of your choice. Believe me, they've quite a handful. Over 80 ingredients to choose from! Okonomi is also Malaysia's first ever, custom sushi restaurant!
Interior, pretty warm, cozy and contemporary. Nothing too fancy as everything was just nice. Great place to dine with your family as well.
We started off with some of their beverages - green tea and red bean latte. What I enjoyed most about the green tea (it was the one I drank the most) was its bitter after-taste. Pretty rare to find that kinda depth these days with all those sugar-mixed green tea drinks.
Crispy on the outside and slightly mushy and dense on the inside, but flavour-wise, was spot on. Enjoyed the lightness of the dish and had quite the time dipping it with sauce.
As the menu was quite difficult to comprehend at first sight, I opt for those we loved most - ingredients wise. The combination were salmon with smoked salmon and avocado wrapped in white rice then seaweed and finished with mentaiko mayo and ebiko. Pretty salmon-y combination I have to say.
Since it was my customized roll, I won't rate it base on its combination but more on the ingredients it self. Everything was fresh and made to order, which was an additional plus point. The mentaiko mayo was rich and craemy, binding all elements together alongside the ebiko on top. Really did enjoyed this one, despite the simplicity of my order.
If you're a fan of soft shell crab and salmon, you're gonna love this. This was one of their available options for those who are feeling lazy to pick you own, the Seafood Supreme. Wrapped beautifully with quite a large chunk of soft shell crab and their special sauce. The only issue I had was the overshadowed smoked salmon. It got lost in all that amazing flavour that I somehow felt it had lost its purpose being there. But part from that, it was good.
Among all, I was most interested in seeing how this would turn out. Whether good or bad, it was intriguing at the moment. Furthermore, soy-wrap was used instead of the standard seaweed wrap and chili padis were added as garnish. As you can see, it was rather different from the 2 above.
But overall, it somehow worked and not at the same time. I'm not sure what they were going for, but it felt as if I was eating Katsu Curry Rice, but in a sushi roll instead. It was interesting that they manage to make it that way, but perhaps I was looking for a different set of 'wow-factor'. But all and all, the flavours were balanced, curry was sweet and the added chili padi gave that nice kick. Katsu was fried to crispy perfection as well.
This was my favourite among all 4. For one, it really was spicy. However, there were the depths of sweetness, creaminess from the tuna, warmth of the rice and finally, the fiery experience of the sauce and chili padi. Loved the experience of it. Oh, beware, it is indeed spicy!
Remember Nana's Green Tea in Midvalley? During the opening, tons and tons of people went and try and my Instagram was filled with pictures of Nana's parfait. Everyone said it was great, good and absolutely delicious. And one unfortunate afternoon, I was able to try, after waiting 40 minutes in line, which came to an expected disappointment.
This on the other hand, was way more enjoyable. The richness and creaminess alongside that bitter aftertaste was definitely something to die for. Fresh red beans and mochi were used in the developement of this parfait. And finally, a bitter finish at the bottom with some green tea jelly. All of which were nicely layered - both visually and tastefully.
This is also a dessert that you'll have to order when you're here. Overflowing green tea goodness from the cake that remains warm even after several minutes of photo taking. Ice cream was creamy, smooth and consistent while the bamboo green tea decor was quite fun to chew with. Really enjoyed it.
In conclusion, Okonommi may have some odd or unique sushi rolls, but it all boils down to the combination you pick. Either choose your favourite ingredients which you'll definitely enjoy or perhaps choose from their selection of sushi rolls. Either way, it's your choice. But do not forget, to order their selection of amazing desserts that will get you coming back for more!

The Ökostromgesetz (Green Electricity Act), which came into force on 1 January 2003, introduced a national system for renewable electricity support payments. The act made E-Control responsible for monitoring attainment of the system's objectives.
The green power support scheme affects market participants in a variety of ways. Electricity suppliers are allocated supported renewable energy. System operators must adapt to the volatility of wind power output.
The financial means for supporting green electricity also come from market players or consumers.

Within the last 2 years, Tech Mahindra (TEML) has been testing Resistanceline and supportline 4 times, all with success.
Everytime the price tested Resistanceline, the price was rejected and Sellers started to short and the price dropped. Right now, we see the same formation and we want you to pay attention to this Stock.
The price is at an important area with a strong Resistanceline, which have not been broken for 2 years.
There are two senarios right now. If the Resistanceline holds then we will see a fall back to area 330-340. Or if the Resistanceline is broken, then we will have a new support and see the price go up further.
If you are long, then you might sell off when the price is rejected.

Gautam Gambhir’s much-projected “home coming” as skipper of the Delhi Daredevils has ended.
After the team found itself at the bottom of the points-table, with eight matches to go in the league, the left-hander announced his decision to step down as captain and handed over the reigns to Shreyas Iyer.
be that was the reason I could not fire. I could not handle the pressure. I have always been honest about what I say and one reason is absolutely this one. Gambhir, who has so far scored 85 runs in five innings, said, “May be coming back to Delhi (after playing for Kolkata Knight Riders for seven season) was an emotional decision, as well. Sometimes when your emotions get the better of you, and then you are so desperate to turn things around.
That’s the only thing I can think of, at this moment. It’s early in the tournament to reflect on what actually went wrong (with DD’s performance so far).

I’ve often wondered what the ultimate classic Mario title would consist of. While Super Mario Brothers 3 and Super Mario World arguably still hold that title, Super Mario Maker certainly gives these classics a run for their money, and it manages to do so with very little actual gameplay content made by Nintendo. It offers virtually all that a die-hard Mario fanatic would want in a classic platformer; a nearly infinite amount of content, a nice blend of nostalgia and modern Mario gameplay and, most notably, the ability for the player to take center stage and create their own levels, which they can share with the world. This feature is sure to satisfy many an amateur game designer, creative folks, show-offs, and/or control freaks who prefer their gameplay experiences crafted by their own hand.
Not only is the aforementioned feature the biggest appeal and selling point for most, but it is indeed the meat-and-potatoes of this game; which is ironic because the level designer feature doesn’t quite qualify as “gameplay”. And yet, I had an absolute blast sitting back on my gamepad with a stylus in hand, crafting my own Mario concoctions.
The level design and creation in surprisingly easy to get used to, thanks in part to the intuitive touch controls on the gamepad screen. The interface provides a clean and relatively simple layout of a basic, randomly generated stage from which you can use as a foundation (or can choose to start from scratch), as well as a palette of tools at your disposal, which are marked by easy to recognize pictures. You can also instantly jump into your stage and give it a test run, further adding to the intuitive and seamless nature of the level creator. Simply put, it just feels “right” .
Nintendo further eases the learning curve by rationing out the assets/functions at your disposal, holding back some of the more intricate ones for later. While this trickling out of available content may annoy some of the more impatient folks and those completionists who want everything to play with right out of the gate, I found it did help keep the confusion to a minimum.
Still, there are a few quirks here and there that take a little extra time to uncover and to pin down. For instance, the useful ability to drag and select multiple objects for movement or copying is a little tricky to locate within the interface, and even once discovered, can be awkward to use at times. There is also a feature that allows you to grab and shake enemies in order to alter them in some way. While this is a neat little addition, it is easy to forget about, and is not always the most convenient method to use when frequently experimenting and looking to spruce up your level with different enemy varieties. Still, these are more nitpicky aspects that don’t generally hinder what is overall a well crafted and easy-to-learn system.
Despite the aforementioned user-friendly interface and simplicity there is still quite a lot to play around with right out of the gate. You are initially granted only the New Super Mario and the original Super Mario Brothers themes, though these prove to be more than enough anyway. The more you play around with your levels, and add various assets, the more goodies you will receive - or rather, you will receive them more quickly. In other words, you will still gain access to all the game’s content/features (as they run on a designated schedule), but those who clock more time will speed up this schedule, granting incentive to toy around with this function in greater depth.
Even on the offset of the game, this virtual toolbox comes loaded with a variety of enjoyable assets and abilities which can be utilized in seemingly endless ways, making the only real limitation your imagination. Nintendo has pretty much provided you with the ability to make your stage as action-packed and/or frustrating as possible, with massive array of enemies at your disposal. Everything from traditional goombas, troopas, and piranhas, all the way up to the more obscure chain chomps, wigglers, and magikoopas make an appearance. You can even give many enemies wings, make them pop out of pipes, or turn them into giant versions of themselves by simply dragging a mushroom onto them. The selection of powerups and building materials is similarly vast, allowing you to add your own personal flare and create an artistic design and layout that is uniquely yours.
Speaking of powerups, there is additionally the Super Mario Maker exclusive “mystery” mushroom, which transforms Mario into a variety of random characters from other Nintendo games. This is where the Amiibo support comes into play, as a player can use a number of different supported Amiibo to create the ability for Mario to turn into anything from Link to Yoshi, and even the inklings from Splatoon. Like many games that support the Amiibo, it comes across as a bit of a tacked on afterthought. Still, it is nonetheless a cool little novelty that helps add a unique flavor to the ever-familiar nostalgic Mario experiences that dominate the game.
Another quality that makes the game somewhat unique from the Mario classics it resembles is the ability to mix and match the majority of the assets for any Mario game theme, even if they yet to have been invented for that particular game. This means you can use a thwomp with the Super Mario Bros. 1 overlay, or place a Magikoopa in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style. Factor this in with the ability to create stages using several of the major Mario level themes - even the airships made famous in Super Mario 3 and the ghost houses straight out of Super Mario World, and you can quickly see the endless stream of potential that lies in this seemingly simple level creator.
It won’t come as much surprise then, that using this create function can prove to be a pretty time-consuming endeavor if you are at least semi-serious about crafting a level with some depth. Though, I had enjoyed this process so much that time tended to fly by anyway (which may perhaps be a positive or a negative depending on your perspective). One thing that most will agree with, however, is that you a given quite the feeling of satisfaction upon completing your work of gaming art, even if you do notice it is suddenly three hours later than your realized. Indeed - even a small and simplistic stage could eat up a decent chunk of time, particularly when you are still new to the process and finding your bearings. And it is a bit strange to find yourself completing your stage in about 1/20th the time it took you to design it. But still, that aforementioned feeling of satisfaction makes it well worth it, and is only further heightened once you’ve uploaded your level online for all the gaming world to experience.
"A Mario platforming haven that lets you create, play, and share"

How much of your income is used up paying monthly debt payments?
Our debt to income ratio calculator compares your monthly take-home with your monthly debt payments. Lenders use the debt to income ratio to determine how much debt you can carry. We use the same debt ratio calculator to see how healthy your debt load is. A ratio of 36% or less is considered healthy, above 50% and you should consider talking to a debt expert.
Is your debt to income ratio too high?
36% or less: Good. Most lenders consider a ratio of 36% or less a healthy debt load.
A word of caution: If you included only the minimum payments on your credit card debt your ratio will be understated. Paying only the minimum balance each month will keep you in debt. Use our credit card repayment calculator to find out what your payments should be.
37-42%: Manageable. While you may be able to manage with a ratio this high, you are at the maximum range of acceptable. Start working to reduce your debt now and make sure you have adequate savings set aside for emergencies.
A word of caution: If you included only the minimum payments on your credit card debt your ratio will be understated. Paying only the minimum balance each month will keep you in debt. If you are struggling making even those payments it may be time to talk to a professional.
43-49%: Cause for Concern. Make a household debt management plan to start paying down your debts to avoid trouble down the road. If you are making only minimum payments on your credit card debt, you may need help dealing with your debts. Talking to an expert is the best way to get tailored advice and get out of debt faster. Contact an advisor to get free, expert advice on dealing with your debt.
50% or more: Dangerous. You should make a plan to aggressively pay off your debts. At this level you may want to consider seeking professional help to severely reduce your debt.

The Judges decision to grant Sussex University a possession order has put the 7 week occupation at Sussex University under threat of immediate eviction. This decision was made despite reams of witness letters from staff and students supporting the occupation. Many pointed to the essential role of the occupation in expressing the view of the vast majority of students and staff opposed to the privatisation plans. They talked of their experience of the occupation as one which is providing a valuable forum for campaigning, education and encouraging solidarity across the university community. Almost 4000 people signed a petition against the protest ban within 36 hours, thousands have also signed statements supporting the campaign. The University management on the other hand stressed the importance of protecting private property over the right to protest, or the rights of those staff it is intent on outsourcing. The possession order brings the threat of immediate eviction whilst the injunction bans any protest without the prior permission of the University authorities. These were the kind of tactics resorted to on a major scale in Quebec when the ruling party introduced major attacks on the right to assembly and picket in the context of a mass movement against fees. The law was defeated on the streets along with fees and the politicians that tried to introduce them.
1. email the Vice Chancellor immediately demanding that no eviction is ordered @ VC@sussex.ac.uk.
2. We await further news from the occupation but ask people to send messages of solidarity to the occupation to occupysussex2013@gmail.com to show we will continue to stand with staff and students in the fight to defend our education.
GBC has recommended anyone in/joining the occupation take down the name of Kelly’s solicitors 0800 387463 & GBC Brighton’s # on your arm – 07511341951 (best is to write it on your arm).

THE round four SBL Player of the Week gongs have been awared to South West Slammers import Tre Nichols in the men’s competition, and Perry Lakes Hawks’ Deanna Smith in the women.
Import guard Nichols continued his rich vein of form as he dominated for South West Slammers in their weekend double.
The South-West derby last Friday night saw the Slammers defeat Mandurah Magic in a tight contest 109-104, with Nichols on fire for the home side with 32 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals.
On Saturday night, the Slammers hosted the Goldfields Giants at Eaton Recreation Centre where Nichols starred again with eight rebounds and a game high 37 points, which included six triples in the home side’s nail biting 101-97 win.
Nichols has been named in the SBL Team of the Week for three consecutive weeks and his form is not just showing on the stats sheet but also in the win column with the Slammers now sitting inside the top eight.
Arguably the women’s recruit of the year, Smith has been outstanding for Perry Lakes Hawks since transferring from Cockburn Cougars last year where she was named in the league’s All-Star Five as player/coach.
The 2008 league MVP again showed her class in the Hawks week four double header to ensure her new team continued their unbeaten run in 2016.
The first match of their weekend double last Friday night saw the Hawks visit Morley Recreation Centre to take on East Perth Eagles.
Smith scored a game high 24 points with eight rebounds, two assists, four steals and a block to guide her team to a convincing win, 81-66.
Smith, one of the all-time best shooters in the SBL, put on an exhibition of her talent on Saturday, shooting at 83 per cent from the field which included a perfect six from six from beyond the arc and 100 per cent from the charity stripe in a game high 31 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block.
Perry Lakes Hawks now sit equal top of the WSBL ladder with only the Willetton Tigers sharing their undefeated record of four wins to start the season.
