Yankees hit five home runs in win over Pirates
NEW YORK >> Mark Teixeira has provided consistent power for weeks. The rest of the New York Yankees joined in Saturday.
Teixeira hit a two-run homer, Zoilo Almonte connected in his first start of the season and New York went deep five times for a 7-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
It was the second time since 2011 that five Yankees players homered in one game.
"It was nice to see," manager Joe Girardi said. "Our team is built for this park."
Brett Gardner and Alfonso Soriano also homered off a struggling Edinson Volquez to back five scoreless innings from David Phelps (1-0). Brian McCann added a two-run drive in the eighth against reliever Vin Mazzaro as New York won for only the second time in eight home games.
Coming off consecutive road shutouts against the crosstown rival Mets, the Yankees took their third straight following a four-game slide.
"We had a very good game overall," Soriano said. "That's what we expect."
Starling Marte homered and had three hits in his return to the starting lineup for the Pirates, winless at Yankee Stadium since Harvey Haddix pitched them to a 5-2 victory in Game 5 of the 1960 World Series.
Volquez (1-4) gave up six hits four homers and no walks in 6 1-3 innings, dropping to 0-4 in his last five starts.
Teixeira connected on a 1-2 pitch following Derek Jeter's single in the first for his eighth home run in his last 17 games. It was the 350th of his career, tying Chili Davis for sixth place among switch-hitters.
Almonte sent Volquez's first pitch of the third into the raised bleachers in right-center for his second major league homer. Called up from the minors Tuesday, Almonte was a late addition to the lineup when center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury was scratched with flu-like symptoms.
Gardner homered leading off the sixth and Soriano did the same in the seventh.
"They are great hitters and I made a lot of mistakes," Volquez said. "You cannot make a lot of mistakes in this ballpark."
After a rainout Friday night, 47,353 fans turned out on a beautiful afternoon for the Pirates' first visit to the current Yankee Stadium. They went 0-6 in interleague games at the old place, swept in a June 2005 series and again two years later.
Phelps pitched out of early trouble to earn his first win as a starter since July 4, 2013, at Minnesota. After beginning the season in the bullpen, the right-hander was making his third start since replacing injured Michael Pineda in the rotation.
"At the end of the day it was five zeros and I'll take that," he said. "You don't want to grind every time out, but it's one thing that I've kind of done this year. I haven't really had my best stuff yet."
Phelps got some help from the overaggressive Pirates, who ran into three outs on the bases.
"We were pushing guys out there," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Those are the chances you want to take when you're not getting those big hits with runners in scoring position, try to push yourself across the plate or get yourself in scoring position."
Dellin Betances tossed two innings in relief before Adam Warren and Matt Daley finished up.
Phelps is 3-0 with a 1.08 ERA in his last three starts at Yankee Stadium.
"He made pitches when he had to," Girardi said. "There were some good plays."
Pirates bopper Pedro Alvarez, who grew up a few miles from Yankee Stadium, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in his first game against the Yankees. He left about a dozen tickets for family and friends and was expecting his father to be in the crowd.
Two calls were overturned on replay challenges, one in favor of each team. Both plays involved tags by Jeter at second base.
"We won with the home run today, which we're capable of doing," Teixeira said. "We have to score a little bit more and I think the last few games our pitching has really picked us up. So it's good to see us break out today."
NOTES: Marte (lower back tightness) made his first start in a week. ... 1B Ike Davis, traded by the Mets last month, went 0 for 3 with a walk and three strikeouts in his return to New York. ... Girardi said he would be "kind of shocked" if LHP CC Sabathia (right knee) is able to return after only 15 days on the disabled list. "We don't know when he's coming back," Girardi said. ... Pineda (shoulder muscle) is scheduled to throw 25 pitches on the side Sunday. ... Ichiro Suzuki (back) entered in RF in the ninth and is likely to play in the traditional doubleheader Sunday the first single-admission twinbill at Yankee Stadium since 2004. ... RHP Hiroki Kuroda chose to start the opener Sunday against Pirates RHP Charlie Morton. LHP Vidal Nuno will pitch the second game against RHP Gerrit Cole, who spurned the Yankees to attend UCLA after they drafted him out of high school.

The online casino experience is now virtually indistinguishable from the brick and mortar casinos that popularised the activity in the first place. Except that casino play can now be accessed from anywhere and at any time.
Players everywhere are discovering Caribbean Stud Poker online, and this heralds a range of new table games. The leading software innovators like NetEnt have perfected the bonus and reward systems by streaming players into high roller, low roller and standard categories, facilitating specific aims within the Caribbean Stud Poker community, and giving players a new perspective on this rewarding game.
A Modern Online Variant
Caribbean Stud poker was developed as an exciting variant to the traditional poker game about forty years ago. First offered on the big passenger ships cruising the Caribbean islands, the game became so popular that it entered the large casinos in Las Vegas less than a decade later.
Now, to be able to play Caribbean Stud Poker online is one of the benefits of development of so many new games in the gaming industry, and one of the largest industries worldwide. The casino online, as developed so effectively by producers like Net Entertainment has become just as exciting, and the number of games as comprehensive as those offered by any live casino.
How to Play Caribbean Stud Poker
In this NetEnt poker variant, the aim is simply to beat the dealer, not any of the other players. The bonus payout for winning the bet against the dealer is but one money winning option in this game.
Caribbean Stud poker, online, is played by up to seven players, one dealer and the standard 52 card pack. A special casino table is used that resembles the oval blackjack style table. The table layout contains of three distinctive betting spots for the player.
The first spot is for the ante, the second for the called bet, which is double the ante, and the third spot is there for the optional progressive jackpot bet. Regardless of the number of the players, everyone always effectively plays a one on one game against the dealer. Therefore, unlike other forms of poker, playing Caribbean Stud Poker online means not having to be concerned about the other players' cards.
The Winning Options
Should a player beat the dealer, the ante is paid off at even money, but the bet wager is paid off at house odds. To enter the hand comparative phase, the dealer's hand must contain at least one ace or king. If the dealer's hand qualifies, this hand is compared to the cards held by all the other players in standard poker fashion.
Should the dealer not qualify, the players in the round receive even money for their ante bet, and their bet wager is pushed. When comparing the hands, and should the dealer win, the player will lose both his ante and bet wager. Any player that has selected to place money on the progressive bet will find that the volume of the jackpot grows with the level of the side bets. Despite it being a NetEnt powered game, the jackpots vary from casino to casino, and this is something that can be investigated before gambling online.
Playing NetEnt's Caribbean Stud Poker online is a fast and high action game which has several ways of winning, and within the Professional Series that NetEnt provides, several ways of being enjoyed too.

"We wanted a colorful, fun, vibrant website that is easy to navigate, and also informative across all aspects of what we do when it comes to high-quality educational childcare. We feel that this site achieves this and so much more."
The new Discovery Point website launch coincides with its 30th business anniversary. By constantly researching and evaluating digital trends and industry standards, the childcare franchise continues to stay relevant in a competitive market. With a fresh, new online presence, discoverypoint.com helps position the franchise for continued expansion in the coming years.

The most wonderful time of the year is here! The Sephora Rouge/VIB sale happens every year around the end of October or beginning of November. This year it will be {ROUGE: November 3-6 AND November 10-15 code 20FORROUGE} and {VIB dates + code, when released}. This sale gives you 20% off of everything, no exceptions!
I've been slowly curating my cart for weeks because I can go a little crazy sometimes and make impulsive purchases just because they are on sale! This year I've picked out a few special items, a few essentials, and I even got suckered into a Sephora Favorites box!
Visart Warm Neutral Eyeshadow Palette – This was the first thing to go into my cart! A Visart palette was in and out of my cart 100 times last year and completely regretted it. I don't own anything by the brand yet, but the Warm Neutral Palette looks like a fantastic everyday palette for me.
Bobby Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Based Moisturizer – This was one of the first high end skincare products I ever purchased almost 10 years ago! I haven't bought it again since that first tub and my skin has changed a lot, but I decided kind of nostalgically to try it again. I will probably use it as a primer in addition to my current routine, rather than using it in place of my moisturizer.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask – I usually pick up a lip mask every sale because winter is coming. The past years I've bought the Bite Beauty Agave Mask and the Fresh Mask and I wasn't really blown away by either so I'm excited to try something new!
Jo Malone London Basil and Neroli Cologne – I'm a little nervous about this purchase because I have only smelled this perfume and it was months ago… but I loved it and I couldn't stop smelling myself throughout the day! I hope it's as wonderful as I remember – earthy and citrusy and fresh.
Briogio Ultimate Hair Goals Kit – I was planning on stocking up on the the Briogio Don't Despair Repair Mask and this kit is the same price and an 8oz jar and includes an 8oz jar of the mask plus 3 deluxe samples of their Rosarco Blow Dry Perfection and Heat Protectant Creme, Rosarco Milk Reparative Leave-in Conditioning Spray, and Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo. I know I like the leave-in conditioner and I am really excited to try the shampoo because my scalp get so dry and flakey in the winter!
Briogio Don't Despair Repair Gel-to-Oil Overnight Treatment – This is meant to hydrate, strengthen, smooth, and soften the hair – my hair and scalp is hella dry and damaged and I've never tried an overnight treatment. I like the brand because it's silicone free so I feel like their conditioning products actually do something more than just coating the hair.
Sephora Favorite Soko to Tokyo – I have never bought a Sephora Favorites box before because I usually feel like there's 2-3 products I like and the rest will most likely go to waste. This box is perfection! It's a combination of products I know I love (Tatcha Polished and belif True Cream Aqua Bomb) and products that I really want to try (SKII Facial Treatment Essence).
Honorable Mention: ABH Subculture – I'm in LOVE with these colors but I'm not sure if I can handle the formula – I'm just not sure if I can work with it so it's hanging out in my cart and I will probably just decided as I'm checking out…
Update: Between writing and posting, the Sephora Favorites Soko to Tokyo has gone out of stock and Kevin Aucoin The Sculpting Contour Powder and snuck into my cart.

Oh man, I really need to get back to my sleeping schedule this week. Staying up late all weekend has seriously put a damper on my drawing time. Starting tomorrow I'll be doing my drawing early in the morning again. At least before noon!
This guy turned out alright. As I've stated before, I'm not a fan of the colored pencil at the bottom. Should of kept on using the ink as I planned. Ah well, another learning experience!
I might take a break from the Halloween theme tomorrow. We'll see how I feel then, but right now I'm struggling a bit coming up with unique ideas. Every day I want to do something vastly different than the day before, and that's getting difficult. As I said, we'll see how I feel in the morning.
Also, not sure if she ever reads my blog (but perhaps someday she will read this post, who knows) I just want to say happy birthday to one of the most wonderful people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Happy Birthday, Meggz!

I am really excited to talk about my first Kiehl's product here on I Am Serene L today! & it's all about the delightful pot that is the Avocado Eye treatment cream!!!
I absolutely am in love with the quality of this Avocado eye cream! I struggle with purchasing skin care products because I have eczema prone skin & I especially am prone to Eczema under my eye area & so selecting an under eye product is essential for me, to make sure I get it right! I struggle with red under the eyes and irritation… But since hearing a AMMMMAZING reviews about the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment enriched with Avocado oil, and about it's gentle nature on the skin, I really had to try it for myself & I can safely say I AM Absolutely in love with it!
I know you'll be thinking that £20 is a bit steep for only an eye cream, but if you actually look at it, you'll be using a pea sized amount on your eyes every day, so the 14 ML will last you a long time, as you only need to apply a little tiny bit amount as it's very thick and won't absorb quickly if you use a lot of the product!!! Using a tiny bit of the product under your eyes using your index finger on your orbital bone! & I've been using it for just under a month every day, and 3/4 of it is still left inside the pot!… so a little goes a long way 🙂
The gentle nature of the formula really doesn't cause any irritation on my skin whatsoever! It is absolutely wonderful on the skin, it feels like creamy air, and absorbs within minutes into the skin & the scent of the Avocado oil is light and soothing! It is in no way overpowering or annoying, as the formula is designed to be placed under the eyes so that is why the formula is gentle and not heavily scented!
It managed to reduce the redness under my eyes, and I also suffered from dryness under the eye area… as I usually get really dry under eyes due to the Eczema! However, the cream really hydrated my under eyes! … it's definitely an all in one moisturising, and colour correcting eye cream and I absolutely believe in the benefits of trying out this eye cream! The infusion of the Avocado Oil is very hydrating and moisturising and is absolutely divine <3! I would definitely recommend trying out this eye cream if you need added hydration under your eyes!!! <3
Kiehl's – Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado 14ML – | HERE | £20.00
I hope you've enjoyed my Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado Review blogpost!!!
Have you tried out the Creamy Avocado Eye Treatment from Kiehl's before??? Or have you tried out any other Kiehl's products that you recommend I should check out??? I am in love with the brand & want to try out some more products <3
Please do keep updated with the latest news & Updates via my Social Media Channels

Basement level, 227 Collins St, Wales Corner, Melbourne, VIC 3000. Ph: +61 3 9663 4533
Lucille Wong, Ed#452, February 2014
How do you explain to your over-zealous family that love doesn't necessarily lead to marriage?
Here is where I stand: I'm 32, a woman and, recently, I moved in with my boyfriend of 18 months. I was proud to make this grown-up decision, having found someone I loved enough to want to share my humble flat with. Sure, I was apprehensive at first. Lindsay (my boyfriend; yes, he has a girl's name) doesn't close cupboards and drawers, so I'm forever walking into them. Nonetheless, it was a momentous and joyous occasion. And we're very happy.
Then it starts: the constant badgering from family and friends to hurry down the aisle.
"Perhaps, you will be next," colleagues say when someone in the office is getting hitched. "When are you two getting married?" friends ask at other people's weddings. "So...any news?" everyone asks when we return from an overseas trip. As the commentary is mostly friendly, I shrug it off with a witty but polite response.
My relatives, however, are shameless in their questioning. My family is from Hong Kong, a Chinese culture with influences of British colonialism. We moved to Melbourne in 1990 when I was eight years old. Mum is also Catholic. Her housewarming gift was a brochure titled 'What marriage means in the Catholic Church', which is full of high-res images of happy, Anglo, heterosexual families with five children.
Mum obviously condemns our living arrangement and demands to know where Lindsay is sleeping. "Where do you think, Mum?" I bark.
"Well then," she orders, "you better get married. I expect an announcement in three months."
Woah. "Isn't that a bit soon?"
Mum snaps, "No, that's a bit late."
My dad is a sixty-something accidental Chinese hipster. He wears a massive Chicago Bulls puffa jacket with a Playboy cap, both are hand-me-ups from my 1990s 'I love USA' wardrobe. At least Dad takes me out for a coffee before he imparts his beliefs. "If you're really against marriage, that's fine, I won't interfere. But there are some things about tradition that are VERY important. So go get that piece of paper and tell me about it afterwards. No need for a party and then I don't have to wear a suit." Dad sips his latte, "Don't tell your mum I said this."
My grandparents and my aunt's family live in Sydney. On a recent trip there, my grandmother presents me with some jewellery and asks if it would be appropriate to give these to me now. I politely tell her to wait another year or so. I make this up. I have no idea how long she might have to wait but you can't really say '10 years' to an 87-year-old.
Grandma has similar gifts for each of her seven grandchildren, bought for us at birth, to be presented to each of us when we wed. In particular, my sister and I have matching sets but mine has a red stone and my sister's has a green stone. My sister!? I think. That Gen Y is living the dream in London with zero interest in responsibility, relationships and commitment (sorry, Sis). She isn't marrying any time soon.
"Thanks, Grandma, but what if we don't get married?" I dare ask. Grandma is horrified, "Nonsense! You will ALL get married."
At dinner, my family gather to discuss this perplexing issue. One thing about being of Chinese background is that your family talk about you in front of you rather than behind your back. My uncle wonders if I'm subconsciously holding out for someone else. My aunt jumps in with her hypothesis, "You're not a feminist, are you?" Even my emo 18-year-old cousin, who usually spends entire meal times with her headphones in, has something to say. "It's only a piece of paper," she mumbles to no one in particular. The table erupts. It's commitment. It's celebration. It's tradition. It's love. It's inevitable!
That's it! I crack it, "One more word about this and I'm never getting married. EVER." The table is quiet for three minutes. We slurp our soup to the faint hip-hop tune from my cousin's headphones.
My grandma breaks the silence: "How's your sister? Has she got a boyfriend?"

Customer Case Studies
Steve Roberts, Quality Director, Alloy Heat Treatment.
Alloy Heat Treatment are the biggest sub contract heat treater of aluminium alloys in the UK, serving sectors including aerospace, automotive, power generation, leisure, and construction. Alloy Heat Treatment have a large number of prime customer approvals including Leonardo Helicopters, Airbus, Safran, Boeing, and BAE Systems to name a few. They are accredited to heat treat to these Prime's specifications and often work as a trusted supplier to other companies that deal direct with them. Alloy Heat Treatment are proud to have BAE systems and Leonardo as direct customers but generally, manufacturers and machinists will send components for heat treatment directly to AHT and then supply back in to the Primes post treatment.
Part of the Prime specifications dictate that Brinell hardness testing is carried out prior to releasing the components.
Steve please can you tell us why you settled on the Foundrax BRINtronic automatic Brinell microscope?
For Alloy Heat Treatments, moving over to the BRINtronic was due to an efficiency drive. Part of the release process for aluminium alloys is that we must do conductivity and hardness testing on every job that leaves us. As such we were looking at ways that we could gain efficiencies in this process. Using the BRINtronic from Foundrax has allowed us to gain these efficiencies.
Looking at competitors, where do you see our strengths and weaknesses with our prices and support process?
We did have a look at other pieces of kit, one of the problems we needed to solve with equipment selection is that the microscope must get into quite intricate places, all the other microscopes we looked at have wide noses on them so, the design of the Foundrax scope was right up our street. We've used the manual Foundrax microscopes for as long as I've been here.
We weren't terribly impressed with the competitive equipment we tried. The ergonomics of the BRINtronic are far superior. Obviously, the usability of the BRINtronic suited us, because we could get it into the places that we would struggle with using the competitor's equipment. The process of measuring was far easier with the Foundrax BRINtronic as with the others we had to try and hold it with both hands and press buttons. They weren't particularly well balanced either so in practice we were losing efficiencies rather than gaining them. The other advantage we found with Foundrax is your software, it allows us to produce automatic reports as an Excel file, although we haven't taken full advantage of this facility yet. We found it far simpler on the BRINtronic than the competitor's to generate these automatic reports.

Imagine a mural with over 30 contributing artists at any given time — but artists who paint with their smartphones.
Visualize Somerville 2 plans to make this futuristic art a reality, as guests will be able to draw with their phones and have projections cast on nearly every surrounding surface. The event aims to bring the greater Somerville community together as it highlights the relationship between technology and creativity by having guests contribute to a large, interactive art project. Guests will hook up their phones to the provided WiFi network and immediately be able to add to the projection-based art as they climb the walls at Brooklyn Boulders. The nearby Aeronaut Brewing Company will host a conjoining event where guests can enjoy local art, music and of course, booze.
Event creator Jonathan MacLeod hopes that Visualize Somerville 2 will inspire guests to "reinvent" the often-isolating ways that they conceive of their mobile devices.
"We have unlimited, unlocked potential for technology, and really it's just application at this point," MacLeod says. "That's one of the things we're trying to inspire in people, is that if you all put your heads together we can make beauty out of these things, we can make incredible things."
Visualize Somerville 2 is MacLeod's master's capstone project at the Harvard Extension school, where he will receive a Master of Liberal Arts in Digital Media Design this spring. MacLeod hopes that the event will inspire people and change the way they relate to the technology around them.
"I think the next place things will go is interactivity," he says. "Everyone wants to be included – as we have [seen] with all the apps like Yelp, and even Uber and stuff like that – so it's really a place [where] I want to make everybody the artist, make everybody the driving force."
Last year's event, Visualize Somerville, saw about 600-700 guests. This year Optexture – the audiovisual group that is hosting the event, of which MacLeod is the founder – has increased projection surfaces by 50 percent, meaning that about 80 percent of surfaces in Brooklyn Boulders Somerville will be covered in projected art.
In addition to the user-generated interactive projections, there will be projections of local artists' work. There will also be oil-based projections, in which people swirl oil paints in a dish and play with colors and blending in the resulting projection. Non-projection art will be highlighted at Aeronaut Brewing Company, where guests can enjoy live music and local art – and even a 3D-printed person named "Plastic Man."
Production for Visualize Somerville 2 has been underway for almost five months, and the event is funded entirely by a Kickstarter and ticket sales. MacLeod explains that Somerville is the perfect community for this cutting-edge interactive technology.
"Somerville is hot bed of innovation," he says. "It's the perfect place to do this because there are just so many people that are on the bleeding edge of the new things that are coming out."
MacLeod says that it is important that the interactive technology is easy to use. He and Optexture have made sure that hooking up smart phones to the provided WiFi and calibrating to join in is a smooth and intuitive process.
"I want anybody of any age, and I want this to be universally designed," he says. "It has to be as easy as possible."
Visualize Somerville 2 will be held at Brooklyn Boulders Somerville and Aeronaut Brewing Company on May 7. Tickets for Brooklyn Boulders range from $18-$25. Admission to Aeronaut Brewing Company is free.

After Twitter decided to change its favourite icon from a star to a heart, it sent users of the social media site up in arms. Suffice to say, the new icon did not get much love. But there is an easy way to change the cringeworthy heart icon back to a less embarrassing star, or even an emoji.
If you are using Twitter through a Chrome or Firefox browser, you can download a clever add-on to change your heart back into the star or a mug of beer, or smiley face emoji. The free extension, called Stylish, allows users to restyle the web by adding themes or skins to many sites. All you have to do is download it from either the Google Chrome Store or Add-ons for Firefox and follow these instructions as discovered by Robert McNees:
1. Go to Twitter and open the Stylish extension
2. In the main box of the extension copy and paste this code into it:
.HeartAnimationContainer {
visibility: hidden;
.HeartAnimationContainer:after {
content: '★';
visibility: visible;
display: block;
position: absolute;
3. In the 'applies to' box make sure it says twitter.com
4. Hit save, then refresh your Twitter page and you'll see the changes.
You'll have to ensure the line below .HeartAnimationContainer { and the four lines below .HeartAnimationContainer:after { are indented by four spaces. Also ensure the commas around the new star icon are straight commas, not curly ones.
Here's how it should look:
If you want to add an emoji of your liking to replace the heart then all you have to do is copy and paste an emoji into the commas where the star is. To get your emoji, you can find them at a website such as getemoji.com. Here you can use anything from food and drink icons to animals and faces to tweet to your heart's content.
While it may come as a relief to not see your feed full of soppy hearts, it is worth noting this is only something that applies to the computer you use the browser extension on. Login to another computer and you will see hearts. This fix also will not work on Twitter's mobile app.
If you have a change of heart and discover you actually quite like the new icon then simply remove/delete the browser extension.

Android Studio and Gradle Support for IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation v7.1
Karen Tran April 14, 2016MobileFirst_Platform Android_Studio Gradle Google_Play_Services
Starting with iFix build IF20160224-2343 and later builds, hybrid Android applications created with IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation v7.1 of Studio, CLI, or Cordova can be converted to an Android Studio-based project and be built with Gradle. Using Android Studio with Gradle gives developers useful tools that are not available in Eclipse such as multidex support, automatic dependency management, and product flavors to switch between different versions of the same app like a demo version and a full version.
Instructions on how to convert a MobileFirst project built with MobileFirst v7.1 to an Android Studio project can be found here:
Note: If using push notifications for Android, it is recommended to convert to Android Studio. Adding Google Play Services causes a dex error in MobileFirst v7.1, which Gradle can resolve. Instructions on adding Google Play Services to a MobileFirst project that has been converted to an Android Studio project can be found here:

Now that the kitchen is on the home straight, my thoughts are turning towards another key room in the house. The bathroom.
Like the kitchen was, the space hasn't been used to its full potential. The boiler being in the bathroom isn't helping with the space issue either and I'm hoping we'll move the boiler or come up with a better storage solution for it. (if you've moved a boiler please tell me how it was).
So before the job has even begun the costs are climbing. Although this isn't a job we'll be doing for a few months, its good to start planning right?
Flooring is also an issue in the bathroom, the previous residents must have had a thing about black floors (the kitchen had black tiles) as the bathroom has a tile effect black vinyl. Now I've had a look at vinyl flooring recently and there are some stunning ones about that would cost a fraction of the price than if you had the similar tiles themselves laid.
My dream bathroom would look like this below, I love the floor, and the colours used here. Storage space is an issue though, so I can imagine we'd take a look at Ikea for some ideas in that department.
As you might have guessed a love a bit of colour in the bathroom (or any room for that matter) and a great way of injecting colour is via the flooring you choose.
Being a rather practical type of person I must consider the ease of cleaning the bathroom. There's so many nooks, crevasses, boxed off pipes etc in our bathroom at the moment that its just a nightmare to clean.
I'd love a wall hung loo and sink to make it easier to clean- as well as looking very smart. obviously. I'm always eyeing up hotel room bathrooms for ideas- anyone else do that?
I think perhaps the trick with vinyl is in the fit and the adhesive. See below for some lovely examples from my Bathroom board on Pinterest. (all images used here are credited on my Pinterest board).
One of the benefits of choosing vinyl over tiles is the warmth. No freezing marble or porcelain to chill your toes on those winter mornings.
I also found a selection of vinyl from Carpetright and these are my four favorites from there. What do you think? What flooring do you have in your bathroom?
Disclosure- this post was brought to you in collaboration with Carpetright.

A secondary credit number can be utilized in place of social security number. They can be extensively used while applying for credits and in other related financial transactions. These numbers should not be thought of an absolute replacement of social security numbers and should never be used in any government applications or programs.
The secondary credit number is a nine digit number which resembles in all respects with the social security number. This is a nine digit number and is not issued by any government or legal authority. This is primarily a file number possessed by the credit bureaus and contains information related to finances and monetary transactions. The secondary credit numbers can be generated only once which makes it mandatory to be used with utmost care and precision. They should not be employed to make payments of the debts as they are not legally responsible for any type of debt incurred by you. You are solely responsible for all the debts issued on your name. An easy way to skip these situations is to manage your finances properly by making all requisite payments and maintain a good credit score. Securing a secondary credit profile number will not make you free from the previous debts but only provide you another opportunity to manage your finances in a better way.
You have the legal right to maintain topmost privacy of your secondary credit profile numbers. It will be better if you use an alternative number for credit related endeavors. You can only reveal the secondary credit numbers to specialized agencies to solve your personal purposes only. There are certain astonishing facts regarding the legality of these numbers. Recently, federal law has issued certain laws regarding these numbers. This law states that the federal government or any other related agencies have no right to deny you from providing secondary credit numbers. A system is maintained in this respect known as credit reporting system which tracks the entire process from the starting to the end and minutely observes any fault or discrepancies in this field. It may happen that a person has not received the credit score on time or the secondary credit profile numbers are not delivered to the proper recipient. To ensure best services to the public and present them a good experience in this field, we are here to serve you regarding all issues related to this field. You can enjoy a stress free life without worrying about all these issues.

For the past one decade, successive state government and some individuals have been seeking abrogation of Indus Water Treaty (IWT). The National Conference government, according to Times of India report (July 17, 2002) even submitted a memorandum urging New Delhi to abrogate the treaty in the best interests of Kashmiris. However, the memorandum was ignored for political reasons. The treaty invoked heated discussions in the legislative assembly during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-Congress rule. As the debate continues political commentators believe seeking abrogation of IWT is as good as seeking independence.
Can IWT be abrogated? Honouring the IWT has become a compulsion for New Delhi. In any case, legally speaking, it is virtually impossible for India to abrogate the treaty. Article XII (4) states that 'provisions of this treaty shall continue in force until terminated by a duly ratified treaty concluded for that purpose between the two Governments.'
The treaty does not provide an exit clause for India per se. Article 54 of Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Convention (1949) prohibits any measures that could result in the starvation of people. It specifically refers to water resources and irrigation works.
Abrogation is bound to incite reactions from the World Bank and the countries that were party to the treaty and have provided funds.
Therefore, despite the demand of abrogation, no policy maker in New Delhi is ever likely to contemplate this move. The act of abrogation on the part of India could cause insecurity among the other countries that are lower riparian to India. India's relations with its neighbours would also be affected, as India also has water treaties with Nepal and Bangladesh.
This is the reason India did not seek unilateral abrogation of the treaty in the wars of 1965, 1971 and 1999; therefore, India is not likely to consider abrogation in the event of any future war as well.
Realising the importance of the IWT, the people who drafted the Treaty did not keep an exit clause in it. However, Article XII of the IWT provides for a modification of the Treaty and this is where the grievances of the people of Jammu Kashmir can be addressed without prejudicing the greater interests of the two sub-continental giants.
The Treaty was signed at Karachi by Field Marshal Muhammad Ayub Khan, the then President of Pakistan, Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Indian Prime Minister and World Bank on 19th September, 1960. The salient features of the treaty are:
Provisions regarding the Western Rivers:
(i) Pakistan shall receive for unrestricted use all those waters of the western rivers.
(ii) India shall be under an obligation to let flow all the waters of the Western rivers, and shall not permit any interference with these waters.
Provisions regarding the Eastern and western Rivers:
(i) Pakistan shall use its best endeavours to construct and bring into operation a system of works that will accomplish the replacement from the Western rivers (and other sources of) the water supplies for irrigation canals in Pakistan, which on 15th August, 1947 were dependent on water supplies from the Eastern rivers.
(ii) The use of the natural channels of the rivers for the discharge of flood or other access waters shall be free and not subject to limitation by either party, or neither party shall have any claim against the other in respect of any damage caused by such use.
(iii) Each party declares its intention to prevent, as far as practicable, undue pollution of the waters and agrees to ensure that, before any sewage or industrial waste is allowed to flow into the rivers, it will be treated where necessary, in such manners as not materially to affect those uses.
According to article 11 of the treaty, Pakistan has to receive, for unrestricted use, the waters of western rivers (Indus, Jehlum, Chenab) and India is under an obligation to let flow all the waters of these rivers without harnessing it by constructing dams.
Due to restrictions imposed on tapping of water resources, in conjunction with faltering policies of successive state governments, Jammu Kashmir has been unable to grow to the optimum potential of its agriculture and electricity sectors.
The Treaty permits building storage aggregating 3.6 MAF on the three rivers of the Indus, Jhelum and China. – Of the 3.6 MAF water storage capacities, 1.6 MAF is for hydropower, 0.75 MAF for flood moderation and 1.25 MAF for general storage for non-consumptive uses including power generation.
The Treaty permits additional irrigation of just 1.21 lakh hectares from the effective date, 1 April 1960. Thus particular clause has dealt a severe blow to agriculture in Jammu Kashmir. While India managed to irrigate a large portion of Rajasthan, Pakistan on the other hand developed the largest irrigated area in the world, a piece of Pakistan's desert that is bigger than England. However, the fertile land of Kashmir is craving for irrigation. (News International March 23, 2005)
Extensive research done under the aegis of the Colombo-based International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and Mumbai-based Sir Ratan Tata Trust revealed that once a lively hydraulic society state is facing growing water scarcity and ecological degradation with its vast biological capital eroding with depleting glaciers and shrunk water bodies all now lying in a decrepit state in Kashmir.
According to columnist M L Kak the state suffers losses to the tune of 6000 Cr annually because of IWT. The total losses, therefore, can be safely pegged at 24, 36000 Cr. (Tribune, May 1, 2001).
Shall the state seek abrogation of IWT? Seeking abrogation can be a good political slogan but it will not work. It is as good as seeking independence. Well known political commentator, Dr Sheikh Showkat Hussain, in one of his articles in Greater Kashmir writes: "State administration and those who moan the negative impact of Indus water treaty can better serve people of Kashmir by looking for protection of Kashmir interests within the ambit of the treaty rather than dreaming beyond it. Jammu and Kashmir must pursue for its share within what India has got out of this treaty. India has managed to get exclusive rights over waters of Satluj, Beas and Ravi where as J&K has lost its capability of exploiting waters of Chenab and Jhelum. State of Jammu and Kashmir has not been compensated for the benefits which Punjab ,Haryana and Rajasthan got out of this treaty. Infact whole of the green revolution in India is indebted to Indus water treaty. This seems to be the only positive impact of occupation of Kashmir in favour of India.
There has been a lot of talk about monetary compensation but such compensation is unlikely to benefit masses. Most of the money if secured will go waste the way other financial investments in J&K have been going. Whatever aid and grant the state has been receiving from centre has gone into the pockets of so many Chotalas of Kashmiri establishment. Jammu and Kashmir is recipient 20% waters of Ravi. If we ask for exclusive rights over waters of Ravi as a compensation for losses that occurred to the state as a result of Indus Water Treaty, it can be a worthwhile and sustainable compensation. Ravi constitutes the border between Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. Exclusive right of utilisation of its water will in great way enhance water resources of the state. Apart from utilizing these waters for electricity generation they can help in complete transformation of Kathua and Jammu districts in terms of agricultural production."

Our national partners were able to send us this quick report this morning and express their deepest thanks for your prayers and very generous support:
"A Yazidi official fought back tears while expressed his gratitude to the Christians that have answered the cries of his people. Yazidi families in Hawler have taken in from ten to sixty Yazidi refugees into their households.
An action plan is in place and food packages are ready. 9,500$ of your donation will feed 1,300 Yazidis (one dollar per person per day for one week).
2,500$ went to provide food and cooking facilities, mattresses, water, housing for 60 refugee Chaldeans.
A group of medical and non-medical volunteers got together yesterday to develop a plan. A three point agenda has been generated; One, hygiene education (most places lack showers and running water) we will have diarrhea outbreak unless we do something about it. Two, providing prescription medication. Three, a plan for secondary and tertiary care.
I have been part of teams visiting churches and schools to assess the need, stories are heartbreaking! Medication, wheel chairs, medical supplies and a budget for referrals and lab work is in progress. We are looking to purchase 10,000$ in medical aid.
Thank you again so much for your help."
We will keep you updated as we hear more how your donations are being used. Thank you!

The comments from students have been; "that was so cool…", "I learned a lot from them…", " Now, I really want to work to make my dreams come true…" The comments from staff have been, "Wow…I don't know what else to say.", "I had no idea about his background and how he came to be where he's at…", "They were just simply awesome…"
Thank you,

- intro
- installing the psptoolchain on linux
- installing the minimalist pspsdk on linux via minpspw
- installing the minimalist pspsdk on windows via minpspw
- conclusion
this tut should hopefully help anyone who wishes to bother install the psptoolchain or the minimalist pspsdk. for those of you who dont know, the psptoolchain is the "official" sdk used to develop programs for the psp. the minimalist pspsdk is also used to compile programs to run on the psp but does not include everything included in the psptoolchain, only the necessary files.
while there are merits in installing the psptoolchain from scratch, for noobs (or even your average user), the minimalist pspsdk is much easier to install and get up and running and will provide you with everything you need, hence i suggest it for those groups.
at this time i will cover three methods of installation: installing the psptoolchain on linux, installing the minimalist pspsdk on linux via minpspw, and installing the minimalist pspsdk on windows via minpspg. there are other installation methods to get the full psptoolchain on windows, but those methods will not be covered today
note: this tutorial assumes that the reader has basic knowledge of how to use a computer and the appropriate operating system, which includes but is not limited to creating, moving, modifying, and deleting various files, as well as bash (linux) or dos (windows) commands. if you are not familiar with these operations i suggest you read up on them. there are tons of guides all over the internet.
..:: installing the psptoolchain on linux ::..
[spoiler]installing the pspsdk on linux can be particularly difficult, especially if you are not familiar with linux
note: starting this off with the sudo su command may make this easier
step #1 - install necessary packages
the pspsdk requires many additional packages be installed before it can be installed successfully. you may already have some of these packages installed, but it never hurts to check.
so, to get the necessary packages, run this command (all in one line):
note: this command may not work for ALL distros. that being said these are the packages you need, so if this command doesnt work for you just get these packages using your native package manager.sudo apt-get install autoconf automake bison flex gcc libmpfr-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline-dev libusb-dev make patch subversion texinfo wget
once that command has finished executing, you are ready to move on to the next step
step #2 - download the latest psptoolchain
the psptoolchain contains all the files for installing the pspsdk.
the first thing to know is that the original source for the pspsdk, ps2dev.org, has been going on and offline (mostly offline xD) for a while now. that being said, a alternative source can be found at psp.jim.sh.
so, to attempt to download the psptoolchain from ps2dev.org, run this command:
Code: Select all
svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/psptoolchain
if it does: great! but if (and when) it doesnt, use this command to download the psptoolchain from the backup svn:
Code: Select all
svn co http://psp.jim.sh/svn/psp/trunk/psptoolchain
as i said, all the installation scripts are set up for ps2dev.org :\ so, if you followed the steps and were able to download the psptoolchain from ps2dev.org, proceed to step #3. however if you had to resort to the backup at psp.jim.sh (which you more than likely did ), then you will need to proceed to step #2a before heading to step #3 :p
step #2a - modifying the psptoolchain installation scripts
as i said before, all the installation scripts for the pspsdk still reference ps2dev.org. before you proceed you will need to modify those scripts.
these are the scripts you will need to modify:
- 003-pspsdk-stage1.sh
- 006-pspsdk-stage2.sh
- 009-psplinkusb.sh
Code: Select all
## Download the source code.
if test ! -d "pspsdk"; then
svn checkout svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/pspsdk
svn update pspsdk
Code: Select all
## Download the source code.
if test ! -d "pspsdk"; then
##svn checkout svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/pspsdk
svn checkout http://psp.jim.sh/svn/psp/trunk/pspsdk
svn update pspsdk
the only other thing to notice is that this particular code is for downloading from the the pspsdk directory (which you can tell by the /pspsdk). other scripts may be downloading from a different directory, so make sure to preserve the final location from the end of the code you commented out and add it to the code you added
e.g. , if the code you commented out was like this:
Code: Select all
svn checkout svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/psplinkusb
Code: Select all
svn checkout http://psp.jim.sh/svn/psp/trunk/psplinkusb
step #3 - modifying your login script
now we need to make some changes to your login script. start by running this command:
Code: Select all
gedit ~/.bashrc
Code: Select all
export PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev
export PSPSDK=$PSPDEV/psp/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin:$PSPSDK/bin
step #4 - execute the toolchain script
now everything should be ready to install the psptoolchain. first thing you need to do is change directory to the psptoolchain directory like this:
Code: Select all
cd psptoolchain
Code: Select all
sudo ./toolchain-sudo.sh
note: if you are receiving errors such as "psp-config not found", verify that you set up the environmental variables correctly (see step #3) and that you have the permissions set correctly on the .bashrc file (this happened to me ). for more information on permissions in general, see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5240[/spoiler]
..:: installing the minimalist pspsdk on linux via minpspw::..
[spoiler]these steps should work fine on the most popular linux distributions (ubuntu, mint, debian, etc.) i personally tested them on debian.
step #1 - download the latest version of minpspw
visit the minpspw and download the version fitting for your linux distribution and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
step #2 - install minpspw
cd to the location you choose to save the minpspw installation package (for example, mine was /home/debian-vm/Downloads) and execute this command:
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i minpspw.deb
step #3 - set up the environment variables (in .profile)
cd to /home (simply cd), then run this command:
Code: Select all
gedit .profile
Code: Select all
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/pspsdk/bin
export PSPSDK=/opt/pspsdk
step #4 - install additional packages
afaik there is only one necessary additional package that needs to be installed, so run this command:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
Code: Select all
gcc, automake, make, subversion, wget, git
surely i don't need to walk you through this step
once you have rebooted, the process should be complete. to verify, start a new terminal and enter this command:
Code: Select all
psp-gcc --version
Code: Select all
psp-gcc (GCC) 4.3.5

..:: installing the minimalist pspsdk on windows via minpspw ::..
[spoiler]those of us using windows (i go back and forth xD) cannot simply install the pspsdk natively, but there are alternatives. one of the best (and definitely the easiest ) is called minpspw, the minimalist pspsdk. this package contains everything you need to setup a basic pspsdk in a windows environment.
installation is very simple:
step #1 - download the latest version of minpspw
the latest version (currently 0.11.1) can be downloaded here:
Minimalist PSPSDK | Download Minimalist PSPSDK software for free at SourceForge.net
step #2 - select components for installation
once the download is complete run the installer. click "next", accept the license agreement and click "next" again. you should now be at the "choose components" screen. this screen lets you select what will and will not be installed. by default, "PSP DevKit", "SDK Samples", "PSP Link", "HTML Documentation", and "Basic Devpaks" are selected for installation, while "Visual Studio Support" and "Man/Info Pages" are not.
i suggest you leave all the defaults selected and they are all somewhat essential for developing for the psp. if you are going to be coding using microsoft visual studio then you need to select "Visual Studio Support" for installation. i will leave the installation of "Man/Info Pages" up to you
when you are finished selecting components for installation, click "next".
step #3 - complete installation
this screen is the standard "select destination" screen. you can change the location of installation, but i highly suggest you leave it in its default location when you are done click "install". once it is complete, click "next", then "finish"
step #4 - adding pspsdk environment variables
the last step to installing the pspsdk on windows is adding the pspsdk to the environmental variables. to keep this simple, i am not going to go into much detail concerning getting to menu for modifying environment variables. each version of windows is different, so just google "how to modify environment variables on windows [insert version here]".
once you have reached the environment variables menu, select the variable called "Path" in the "system variables" box and click the "edit" button. once the dialog box pops up, place the cursor at the end of the statement in the "Variable Value" box.
with the cursor at the end of the statement, add this (no spaces): ;C:\pspsdk
once that is done you are set to go. you have successfully completed installing the pspsdk on windows via minpspw! congrats! now get to coding![/spoiler]
..:: conclusion ::..
i hope this tutorial has helped answer your questions concerning installation of the pspsdk. if you still have any questions feel free to post them in this thread.
please note that NONE of this is my work, only the tutorial. all credit goes to the wonderful devs who developed all of these tools, without which there would be no psp homebrew scene. all thanks go to them!
also, im obviously no expert, so if you notice any mistakes (trust me, im sure there are plenty ), feel free to post them and i will get it corrected. thanks!

Thomas Lehré to Thomas Jefferson, 29 June 1813
From Thomas Lehré
Charleston June 29th 1813
Dear Sir
Yesterday was celebrated here with great enthusiasm and Joy, as the anniversary of the 28th June 1776, when the British Fleat under Sir Peter Parker, was beat off1 by Fort Moultrie.—
Enclosed is a paper which contains the Toasts that were drank upon the occasion, by which you will find that you2 have not been forgotten by your Republican friends.
I am truly sorry at the loss of the Chesapeake, and also have many fears concerning our army on the Lakes. From information lately recd from Washington, I am induced to think, the President will have a very arduous time of it. If ever there was a time for Americans to rally round & support the Chief Magistrate, & Government of their Country, now is that time. The President has received more applause in this State, for his appointment of Mr D. R. Williams as a Brigr General of the army of the United States, than3 any appointment he has made since he has been in office
I remain with the highest consideration
Thomas Lehré
RC (DLC); at foot of text: "Thomas Jefferson late President of the U. States. Monticello"; endorsed by TJ as received 21 July 1813 and so recorded in SJL.
On 28 June 1776 British admiral sir peter parker launched an attack on Fort Sullivan in Charleston Harbor. The invasion was successfully repulsed by Colonel William moultrie, in whose honor the fort was renamed later that year (ANB description begins John A. Garraty and Mark C. Carnes, eds., American National Biography, 1999, 24 vols. description ends ). Lehré enclosed a copy of the thirty-five toasts printed in the 5 July 1813 Charleston City Gazette and Commercial Daily Advertiser, which were offered at the 28 June 1813 celebration of the Palmetto Society. The fifth toast honored "Thomas Jefferson—The Statesman and the Philosopher, the great champion of Republicanism, and the scourge of Aristocracy." The first American frigate lost in the War of 1812 was the chesapeake, defeated by the British frigate Shannon on 1 June 1813 (Heidler and Heidler, War of 1812 description begins David S. Heidler and Jeanne T. Heidler, eds., Encyclopedia of the War of 1812, 1997 description ends , 98–9). President James Madison had recently appointed former South Carolina congressman David Rogerson williams a brigadier general (JEP description begins Journal of the Executive Proceedings of the Senate of the United States description ends , 2:352, 354 [10, 14 June 1813]; ANB description begins John A. Garraty and Mark C. Carnes, eds., American National Biography, 1999, 24 vols. description ends ).

What is she doing?
The scene flashes before my eyes quicker than my brain can process what I see. There is a clearing where I get on the freeway and another ten freeways converge and veer off. I see a woman standing there, safely centered in the middle of a grassy area with her car pulled off the road. The expanse is surrounded by fast-paced, southern Californian roads and freeways. She stands out like a sore thumb.
She is holding her baby.
Her body gently sways back and forth as the look of patience and compassion adorns her. So many thoughts rush through me as I try to put the pieces together.
I have vivid memories of driving with my baby screaming behind me, helpless and frazzled as I navigated to our destinations. The tension would mount in my shoulders, tying my muscles into knotted rocks.
I was always so convinced of the nuisance I was to other drivers, sure they could hear what was happening in my car. They knew what a terrible mother I was a) for not being able to keep my child from crying in the car and b) for getting in everyone's way as I drove so flustered and frantically.
But this woman let that all go. She stopped. And for this moment, when I saw her, she was living out her priority that her child was more important than her destination or what other people thought of her.
And she has come to my mind so many times in the last week. I have been raw and surging with hormones. I've been processing some family stuff. I've been wrestling with a desire to write more that clearly doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere. And I have been reading The Hunger Games – with all it's intensity (dying I love it so much, by the way!) – which has delightfully pulled all of my emotions right to the surface of me.
As a result, I've been a little short tempered with my children. This is my Achilles' heal, my continual battle with myself. Not getting loud and shaming when my patience runs thin. And while it is true that my children are neither perfect nor angelic, my temper is my problem, not theirs.
And in the middle of one of my "You better get your shoes on or you will be late for your preschool fieldtrip!" episodes, my four-year-old looked up at me with his crocodile-tears and big hazel-brown eyes and adorable little face and cried out, "I want some snuggles!"
He does this from time to time when I loose my cool.
And it is as precious as it sounds.
And I immediately think of that mom safely off to the side of the freeway, swaying back and forth with her baby cradled against her body. And I stop, and I snuggle my four year old. Know what? Turns out snuggles is just what I need right now, too.

iTunes users have for 11 years been treated to a free "single of the week," but it seems Apple has finally ceased offering the promotion.
There hasn't been a new free single since 2015 began two weeks ago, and a user on Apple's forums reports that a support employee told him the promotion has ended in multiple countries, and possibly everywhere.
"Seems they don't want people browsing the Store anymore," the user speculates.
In addition in December Apple did not offer its traditional "12 Days of Christmas" promotion, which used to feature free apps, media and other content, for the first time in six years.
We asked Apple to confirm whether the free singles promotion is really cancelled, and we'll update here if we hear back.

text: Butch Walker, Ben Lee Sign with Dangerbird Records 5:07 PM PDT 6/10/2011 by THR staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Both artists are currently prepping preparing separate releases on track for Fall 2011. Dangerbird Records is hoping to fly a little higher this year with the addition of two well-known names to its roster. The Los Angeles-based label, home to such acts as the Silversun Pickups and Fitz and the Tantrums, recently signed singer-songwriter Ben Lee and singer-producer-songwriter Butch Walker. Both artists are currently prepping preparing separate releases on track for Fall 2011. "Neither Ben nor Butch needs an introduction – their individual track records in the music business speak for themselves," Jeff Castelaz, CEO and Co-Founder of Dangerbird, said in a statement. "Besides being a big fan of the music they both make, they are great to work with and each brings something unique and valuable to the Dangerbird family." Australia-born Lee has been recording music since he was a teenager with Sydney-based act Noise Addict. His solo career saw such smashes as 2005's Awake Is the New Sleep, which went double platinum in Australia (and likely helped win him the affection of actress Claire Danes, who he famously dated last decade). Lee is also the subject of a forthcoming feature documentary, Catch My Disease, set to premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival later this year. Walker is a well-known producer and songwriter who has worked with everyone from Pink to Weezer to Katy Perry. He started out in the music business as a member of acclaimed Atlanta band Marvelous 3. As a solo artist, he's released five albums since 2002. Last year, the in-demand collaborator accompanied Taylor Swift on her live duet with Stevie Nicks during the Grammy Awards. Walker's most recent hits include Weezer's "If You're Wondering if I Want You To...(I Want You To)" and Panic at the Disco!'s Vice & Virtues, which entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 7 in late March.

Hampstead crepe king hopes to batter political rivals after becoming Tory candidate
PUBLISHED: 13:00 16 January 2014
Polly Hancock
As the political parties finalise their candidates for May's local elections, one Tory hopeful caught Heathman's eye this week.
Edward de Mesquita, the owner of Hampstead's popular crepe stall La Crêperie de Hampstead, is branching out into the world of politics and has been confirmed as a Conservative contender for West Hampstead, which is currently dominated by Lib Dems.
He has been no stranger to the pages of this newspaper in recent months due to his well-publicised spat with the King William IV pub, next door to his stall.
The row sparked fears that the creperie would be forced to close – prompting a huge groundswell of support with thousands signing a petition to keep it in Hampstead High Street.
If he were to translate that goodwill into votes down the hill in West Hampstead, Mr de Mesquita would surely stand a decent chance – although the Lib Dem incumbents do not seem overly worried by that prospect.
"I don't think it works like that really," said Cllr Keith Moffit, leader of the Lib Dems in Camden, before adding: "He's very much a Hampstead person, so it seems rather peculiar that he is standing in West Hampstead."
Perhaps surprisingly, Mr de Mesquita stressed how keen he is to help keep the area from becoming too much like Hampstead Village. "It's a lot like Hampstead was when I started the creperie 33 years ago," he said of West Hampstead.
"It's very quirky with lots of interesting little businesses and young people and I would be sorry to see it go the way Hampstead has gone.
"It's already getting a bit fancy. It's a little bit scary, but I would like to see it keep the quirkiness."

This is somewhat related to several posts I've made recently, but doesn't particularly belong to any, so I've made what is hopefully the last thread I need about this subject.
I have my Raspberry Pi3B running from a Lithium Polymer battery which is regulated to 5.25v with an MP2636 Boost / charge module.
After a lot of fiddling and testing, I've managed to get this system stable all the way to ~75% CPU usage with no throttling no matter if I power via the battery or the vin which is fed from an official Raspberry Pi power supply.
Where I do have issues, is when plugging in an external power source to charge the battery, at the same time as using the Pi (or disconnecting it)
For a moment, the undervoltage indicator pops up then very shortly after, disappears.
To fix this, I've considered adding a capacitor that could pick up the slack in the split second it takes the boost circuit on the MP2636 to kick in / switch back to passthrough.
Would this help at all? And if so, would I put it in series with the 5v out from the MP2636, or bridge it across the 5v out and 0v?
I don't really understand capacitors well enough to work this out on my own.
Schematics for reference:
