Xiaomi Redmi 4 has arrived in India for a starting price of Rs 6,999 (2GB RAM/16GB ROM variant). This is essentially a successor to the immensely popular Redmi 3s. The company had recently stated that it has sold four million Redmi 3s devices in the country in nine months.
Xiaomi Redmi phones have been catering to the budget-conscious buyers and the Redmi 4 also fits the bill. The 3GB RAM/32GB storage variant costs Rs 8,999, while the 4GB RAM/64GB storage is priced at Rs 10,999.
The Redmi 4 has a striking design and is, undoubtedly, a very handy smartphone. It appears quite like the Redmi Note 4, albeit the smaller frame.
The black colour review unit that we received looked good and the metal design with curved 2.5D glass atop rendered aesthetics to the handset. The display of the Redmi 4 offers a smudge-resistant oleophobic coating, which is a great value-addition in a smartphone in a hot and humid country like India.
Operating the phone with one hand was a delight, thanks to the ergonomic design. The Redmi 4 has a 5-inch HD 720p IPS display, which offers decent sunlight legibility. Colour reproduction isn't bad and viewing angles are also good.
The camera in the Redmi 4 is with the same megapixel count as the one in Redmi 3s Prime. The camera performs well in daylight and is at par with what budget devices have to offer.
The chunky 4,100mAh battery is definitely the USP of the Redmi 4. It easily lasted for over a day and a half on a single charge with 4G connectivity on one SIM card slot.
Another value-addition to this budget phone is the IR blaster placed at the top.
However, during our initial impressions of the Redmi 4, the camera app showed significant lag. In fact, the UI showed lags while switching between applications – this is perhaps because Xiaomi's custom MIUI is not as efficient as plain Android Nougat.
The Redmi 4 will be available in Matte Black and Elegant Gold colour variants on Mi.com and Amazon India.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Secret!Chapter 7 trustees are only paid $60 per case that they administer...
by Rachel Lynn Foley, Esq.
Wanna know a bankruptcy secret? The truth is that Chapter 7 trustees are paid $60 per case that they administer. Is this the secret? No that is part of the code under 11 U.S.C. §330(b). Additionally the Chapter 7 trustee receives commission from the stuff they take and sell. Is this the secret? No as this is also part of the code under 11 U.S.C. §326.
So what is the secret? The secret is that ALL TRUSTEES are human and like to get paid for doing their job just like you and I.
The Chapter 13 trustee receives an administrative fee to handle a case based on the monthly payment. In my area of the bankruptcy world the trustee fee is 8% of the monthly payment. This is a steady line of funding for his or her office each. In comparison the Chapter 7 trustee receives $60 to handle each case. $60 to review the case, make sure your attorney turned in all the required paperwork, to handle your 341 meeting, review the case again, and file the associated reports with the court. The average billable hourly fee for our local trustees is $200-$300 an hour. Consequently that $60 per case is used up the first time they review a petition.
Why is this knowledge helpful to you? Because this should indicate that the Chapter 7 trustee's are looking for assets to sell so that they may not only pay your creditors but also earn a living themselves. Don't be enraged with the system as it is the government who established this law. The law is designed, I believe, to encourage the Chapter 7 trustee to be aggressive and go after assets. That is if they wish to make any type of living at being a Chapter 7 trustee.
I can already hear some saying "then don't be the trustee." If there weren't any trustees you could not file bankruptcy. The solution is to use the secret.
The secret is that trustees are human with feelings and basic needs. Do you wish to make your trustee or your enemy? If it were me I would want to make the trustee my friend or at least someone I would want to keep in a good mood. Does this mean that you have to become a brownnoser? Absolutely not but common courtesy of please/thank you and keeping the golden rule in mind goes a long way. Do onto others as you would want done onto you.
One of the best practice tips I learned early on was to think like a trustee. My mentor said; "Rachel when you are analyzing a case and reviewing assets, what would you want to know to decide whether or not take a vehicle or a home?" Details, details and more details are what I provide when drafting a petition. If Zillow says a house is worth $150,000 and the client says it is a piece of crap worth $80,000, I am going to provide details as to why it is a piece of crap. Details are critical for a trustee when deciding to whether to take your stuff away from you. If you don't care then great no worries. Still provide details but at least you do not need to worry about whether or not you will lose the item.
You must submit a Schedule A and a Schedule B when filing for bankruptcy. Schedule A is where a home is listed if you own one and Schedule B contains all the rest of your stuff. My clients will provide written details of the home and everything else. If we are trying to devalue a home I will have them obtain estimates of repairs and take pictures inside and out. Pictures often times have to power the express the level of "crapiness" that no words could adequately explain. The same holds true when reviewing the value of a vehicle or any other asset.
For vehicles I want to know what the NADA "clean retail" value is and then I want to know what it would take to get to clean retail. Whatever the cost it takes to get to "clean retail" I will then reduce the NADA value of the vehicle. But my inquiry does not stop there. Just because NADA says it will sell for a certain amount does not mean that it is actually selling for that amount in your particular area. Check the Internet for your local dealers to see what the vehicle is selling for.
What about a Thomas Kinkade painting? You may think it is worth a fortune but in reality I cannot give these paintings away lately.
Do your homework? Don't hide the Thomas Kinkade painting and make the trustee do the work of pulling information out of you. You are supposed to be an honest debtor and therefore you must list the assets. But honesty means you can provide as many details as possible so that the trustee may make an informed decision.
Let's think about this for a moment. As a human being if you have two cases, one where the debtor has provided enough information for you to decide to release the case as a no asset case and one where you cannot tell whether there is stuff to sell, which case would you spend your time investigating? Time is money and trustees are human. Provide the details.
You have a responsibility to provide information to the court. If your attorney just lists household goods without listing the Thomas Kinkade painting and you have provided that information, I personally would be looking for a new attorney. If you need help looking for an attorney check out the attorneys on this blog and/or the NACBA attorneys.
Bankruptcy is becoming more aggressive. Therefore as the economy still remains sluggish non-bankruptcy attorneys are seeking more business. For some odd reason many attorneys think that they can just fill out a form, show up at a meeting and obtain a discharge. This is sloppy and the one who may lose the most in the fall out is you!
Be alert, be honest and above all be prepared. Gather and provide as many details as possible on the stuff you own. Especially items such as your home, vehicle, jewelry, art work, and land just to name a few. Take pictures, get estimates for the values of the item or repairs, check NADA for vehicles and Zillow/Trulia for land. Details can make or break a case.
Remember that knowledge is power. Now that you have the knowledge of the secret you will have the power to gather all the details the trustee needs to ensure a smooth handling of your bankruptcy case.

I think our main goal will be to be in the top four next season."If we go into the current campaign without adding to the squad I feel Eddie does have a point, however I believe we can win the league providing Wenger re-inforces the squad between now and the end of August. I can't see him not spending as we have lost our main striker and a top class defender, with a right back who can play as a winger (Eboue) seemingly off too. Signing a prolific striker, the holding midfielder we crave and a commanding defender (easier said than done I know) will in my view leave us as one of the favourites for the title. We have an outstanding squad of talent and the obvious ingredients missing are all that remains for us to be genuine title contenders. Regardless of whether Wenger spends or not, our "goal", should always be the title.

HE was Turkey's most revered sportsman, recognised for his brilliance on the football field for Galatasary and the national team.
But now if Hakan Sukur steps foot in his own country, it's likely he'll face the death penalty or a life in prison, which is why he lives in exile in the US and runs a bakery.
Hakan now lives in California, in the wealthy area of Palo Alto in Silicon Valley, on the outskirts of San Francisco.
He runs a popular bakery called Tuts, where the house specials are dishes like Turkish sausage and eggs, and Greek-style pancakes.
It receives rave reviews on rating website Yelp, with comments such as: "Oh my gosh. This is the best place in the Bay Area to eat delicious food with your friends.
"The staff is so kind and friendly."
None of the customers mention that one of the men behind the cafe is Turkish football legend Hakan Sukur.
But he is not there simply because he loves making coffee and croissants.
Back in the 1990s, the prolific striker WAS the idol of Istanbul.
Kids playing around the local bazaars all had Gala shirts with his famed number nine on the back and he could do no wrong.
Hakan scored 295 goals in three spells with the Turkish giants, played Premier League football with Blackburn for a season and had a spell in Serie A for Torino.
But even though it didn't work out for him in Italy and England, he was welcomed back to his own country with open arms.
He was always a hero, a role model and to this day, is still the best striker Turkey have ever produced.
His record 51 international goals back that statement up, and nothing in Turkish football indicates it will be broken any time soon.
latest football features
However, when Hakan retired in 2008 he sought out a life in politics.
In 2011, he was elected as an Istanbul MP for the Justice Development Party, a conservative political group that has ruled over Turkey since 2002.
The Bull of the Bosphorus was making strides and friends in government.
He aligned himself with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as well as maintained a friendship with cleric Fethullah Gulen.
In 2013 an alliance between Erdogan and Gulen, who was keen for Turkey to become an Islamic state was destroyed when a government corruption scandal erupted.
ULTIMATE TEAM Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit takes bold step with FIFA 18 in hope of taking eSports 'out of the dark ages' and into mainstream
Erdogan blamed Gulen for the disruption, and given Hakan was seen as a disciple of the Gulen movement, it all started to go wrong.
That same year, the government closed all schools run by Gulenists and Hakan resigned from the governing party in protest to run as an independent.
Shortly after, Hakan gave a university speech where he told an audience of bemused students: "I am Albanian, as such I am not a Turk."
Given the political climate in a country that was aiming to regain its national identity, those comments weren't well-received.
In 2016, Hakan was charged with insulting President Erdogan on Twitter.
That summer, a trial began in absentia. Hakan claimed it wasn't his intention to insult Erdogan, but prosecutors disagreed.
In July that year, hell broke loose when a coup, organised by Gulen with the aid of a small fraction of the Turkish Armed Forces, attempted to overthrow Erdogan.
The coup was defeated, but more than 300 people had lost their lives, 120,000 people lost their jobs and 50,000 were arrested.
most read in football
Anyone who had Gulen links was deemed a terrorist and labelled a member of FETO (Fethullah Gulen Terrorist Organisation).
A warrant was issued for Hakan's arrest and he was charged with being a member of an armed terrorist group.
Hakan was given the opportunity to renounce his beliefs and love for the Gulen movement, but passed on the chance.
His father, Selmet wasn't so lucky. The authorities arrested him at a mosque in Adapazar and he was charged with financial coup support.
Somehow, Hakan managed to flee to America, but it was reported his father passed away in prison last year after battling cancer.
Hakan recently resurfaced in San Francisco County, where he runs Tuts bakery and cafe in the wealthy surroundings of Palo Alto.
It's been reported that he lives in a £3million home in the area, has three luxury cars and is enjoying the high-life.
His business partners are reportedly hoping to make Tuts into a chain, with plans to open a second store in the San Francisco area.
The fallen icon may never be able to return home, but it could've been a whole lot worse.

You know what the real problem is with 8-bit videos like this? They always make me wish that the "game" were something that I could actually purchase and play. There are instances where enough people are inspired that the game actually does becomes a reality - take for example the fans of NBC's Community who made a video game based on an 8-bit episode of the show - but in the case of the Iron Man game you see above I think we'll also just have to be satisfied with the idea.
To deliver a back story on the video above, it was created by CineFix and is an 8-bit retelling of Jon Favreau's blockbuster Iron Man. Not only is the video impressive, it also makes the actual tie-in video game that was released look even worse than it already is. This is the first 8-bit video that the YouTube channel has put out, but judging from the end of this one they are game to make more.
This summer has already be chock full of Iron Man, with the release of Shane Black's sequel at the start of this month. As predicted by just about everyone, the film is a incredible blockbuster success, and took only 23 days to cross the billion dollar mark. It's currently ranked at number eight on the all time list and will probably skip ahead a few more spots before its out of theaters. Joss Whedon has also promised that the character will be back for The Avengers 2, so the future is bright for Tony Stark.

Politburo member Tran Quoc Vuong meets voters in Mu Cang Chai
Sunday, 2018-09-30 14:19:41
NDO – Politburo member and Permanent member of the Secretariat, Tran Quoc Vuong, had a meeting with voters in Mu Cang Chai district, Yen Bai province, on September 29.
Most of the voter's concerns heard during the meeting focused on the urgent need of providing electricity in remote hamlets in the district, upgrading traffic and irrigation systems, and stabilising the livelihood of households who are living in areas with a high risk of floods and landslides.
The voters also called for increased investment to improve the infrastructure at boarding schools and medical stations in the district, as well as the building of favourable policies on facilitating poor households' engagement in tourist activities.
Acknowledging the voters' aspirations, Politburo member Vuong asked the local authorities of Mu Cang Chai district and Yen Bai province in general to attach greater care to help local people in doing business, escaping from poverty, and building rural areas, while ensuring the residents' social welfare.
He requested a consensus and solidarity among the authorities and people in building a strong and transparent Party Committee, stressing that the Party and State always pay special attention to socio-economic development in disadvantaged regions and in the living areas of ethnic minority groups.

My friend Ryan invited me to join him, our friend Billy, and 32 other outdoor adventurers for a 3 day backpacking trip to the Havasupai Indian Reservation. The Reservation is part of the Grand Canyon National Park and home to some of the most dramatic waterfalls in the country including Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls, and Beaver Falls.
The three day epic journey will cover approximately 30 miles and will be an adventure marked by new landscapes, an opportunity to make new friends, and a chance to cover trail in the Grand Canyon National Park for the first time.
Ryan's friend from college, John, is the organizer of this annual event and had invited Ryan to join the crew this year. The Las Vegas crew is 7 members strong including myself. We have been hiking quite a bit to prepare for the trip, mostly on our own, but have a few group hikes planned in the coming weeks.
So last night, I got the pack out, displayed all of the essentials on the floor to take an inventory, and began the familiar process of organizing the pack. Most of my adventures have been day hikes and organizing has been rather simple. This time around, I discovered that there are choices to be made. What stays, what goes, what will I need if the weather turns south…
The fact that John and his crew of 28 have done this 5 years running (I think?) have made it easier to prepare. John circulated a checklist of items that he recommended for the trip based on past experiences that was certainly a help. This isn't his first rodeo and he's managed to fit a bit of comfort into the trip with his pool floaty bed pad! Awesome idea that serves as floaty by day and bed pad by night.
So with just three weeks until we head out, the excitement is building. My list of "things to get" is much shorter than it was. An extra battery for the Lumix camera, a memory card for the Flip Video cam, and a nice selection of Mountain House meals is about all that remains.
The only decision I am struggling with is whether to buy a full size sleeping pad or the torso size pad. The reviews have been positive for both.
I think the ability to cut weight may be the way to go. What do you think?

I have a lot favourite quotes but this is what I try to practice and apply in my life now.
"Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it."
–Charles Swindoll
What I've discovered not good about myself is that I'm impulsive. There were many reactions and decisions that I regret because of my impulsiveness and how I wish I could turn back time and change the way I reacted and decided.
I'm an emotional person and most of the time being emotional leads me to pain, bitterness, and sadness. It takes a lot of prayer and practice to control my emotions and react positively to every hurtful word or stressful situation. I'm still working on it and have to remind myself everytime to react calmly and positively.
We react and act by how we think and I believe if we can learn how to captive and control our thoughts, we would be able to react rationally.
I am thankful for having such a wonderful family who always choose to understand. I'm also blessed to have such a patient husband. My life can never be perfect but I'm lucky to have such amazing people around me.

Got to admit so far I've been rather lucky with uniform. my sons I have always got from the supermarket and the badged school jumpers from school. They have lasted the year and the only things I tend to have to replace is shoes and polo shirts.
Lexie started school nursery in September and I wanted to get her in the routine of uniform. She has an obsession with skirts and dressing up dresses so with a uniform it wouldn't matter so much if it got paint on or grubby. In September I got all the uniform from the same place but decided to get her cardigans from there too as she didn't really need the badged ones. I'm actually horrified with the results after two months of wear. They are out of shape, very discoloured and the arms seems to have shrunk.
Trutex got In touch with me and asked if I would like to review a skirt, polo shirt and cardigan. Initially I got the next size up and to be totally honest I shouldn't of, I should of stayed with her normal size.
The junior stitch down pleat skirt in navy was our first item. The skirt Is a simple pleated design that's comes just above the knee.
It has a waist adjuster inside so you can loosen and fasten it tighter. I had to put it on highest setting so it should last her a while. It just fits nice with her polo shirt tucked in.
The school you can wear the white or light blue polo shirts, but I've found the white ones go discoloured so we went for the Polo shirt in sky blue. Compared to the supermarket brand the polo shirt is thicker and of a better quality I've seen so far. It doesn't seem to crease as easy as the other polo shirts I have.
The Cardigan Sweat in royal blue is really thick and has a fleecy warm lining. Its a simple button front cardigan, with a ribbed bottom and cuffs. I do like the quality of the cardigan and even though it's big at the moment it still fits her well.
The uniform has been worn and washed at least three times and at the moment seems good as new. No ink ran out in the wash, no colour loss or bobbling. I'm thinking now maybe it may be better to splash out on the cardigans and get a better quality so I'm not having to replacing them every few months.

Get ready for a major format tweak: Dancing With the Stars is planning a Classical Theme Week in early April. "It's quite ballsy to do two hours of classical music in primetime," says executive producer Conrad Green, who is looking for ways to keep the competition fresh in its twelfth season.
The classical twist will be a big change. For that one week, the two spiral ballroom staircases will disappear, making room for a 38-piece orchestra playing selections along the lines of "Beethoven's 5th." "We're rebuilding the whole upstage area to accommodate all those musicians," says Green.
That week, DWTS will also showcase heavyweight classical performers such as heartthrob violinist David Garrett. "So we'll add a little music at the top of the dance numbers where [the contestants] don't dance, and where the viewers will see a little bit more of the instrumental," adds Green.
That new theme fits in nicely with what is shaping up to be a highly unpredictable season. There are no golly-gee-whiz names like Bristol Palin or Pamela Anderson on the dance floor. And there are no ringers along the lines of a Nicole Scherzinger or Kristi Yamaguchi. For the first time in a long time, the show is a wide-open field where no one is a shoe-in for the mirror ball trophy — and where almost everyone believes they're going to be voted off on Tuesday night.
"I think it's our most even cast in terms of ability," says Green. "The people who aren't as good could get a lot better. And I don't think anyone's so amazing that they stand out above everyone else."
Last night, the jive and the quick step — easily two of the most difficult dances — separated the men from the boys. Last week's top dazzlers, Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley, had to take a back seat as NFL star Hines Ward, rapper Romeo and pro wrestler Chris Jericho surged forward. That left Disney star Chelsea Kane, among others, chewing her knuckles after getting her wrist slapped for an unorthodox jive. Her partner, two-time champ Mark Ballas, was unapologetic. "It's a dance competition and you danced your ass off," Ballas told Kane. "The judges shouldn't have penalized her for what I decided we were going to do."

Braising is a cooking technique that combines searing and cooking in a liquid. Usually it works well with tougher meats and is a easy way to create a flavorful dish. I decided to braise beef short ribs!
One of the reasons I like this recipe is that you do not need to be too precise with the temperatures, and it will always come out perfectly cooked. It is also very versatile with easy changes, for instance, it is just as good with soy sauce, five spice, sesame oil, and brown sugar instead of red wine/tomato/herbs for Asian style short ribs. Or add curry paste and coconut milk–Thai or Jamaican spices? How about Mexican dried chipotles with a dark chocolate mole? The possibilities are endless!

Investing in good quality wellies is well worth the money, as there is nothing worse than having a pair of boots that leak and make your feet cold. We wear wellies for a number of different occasions, from outdoor weddings and festivals through to hiking and gardening, and they can be worn in the summer as well as the winter. The best way to keep your feet toasty in the colder months, is to invest in neoprene boots, as they are designed to keep your feet warm in temperatures as cold as -30°C.
So, what are neoprene boots?
Many different high quality brands specialise in neoprene boots and they are made from a mix of natural rubber and air bubbles. They are light in weight due to the air bubbles and the highly recommended Neoprene muck boot is easy to buy online and is a great example of the type of neoprene boot you should invest in if you are looking for great value for money.
Here is a round-up of the features of a neoprene boot:
- They are 100% waterproof
- They are made from rubber and air bubbles
- They are extremely light
- They are buoyant
- They are known for being warm
- They are supportive and stretchy
This type of boot is designed to keep your feet warm and dry, even in the middle of winter and as they are completely waterproof, you never have to worry about getting wet toes in the middle of a hike.
Warm & Dry
Wellies can be worn for a number of purposes but they are mainly used to keep your feet warm and dry and having comfortable boots is a must. Neoprene boots are notably comfortable and snug, but they are also usable in the warmer months making them a really versatile choice.
Different Occasions
Protecting your feet against Mother Nature is important, whether you are heading off to a muddy field for a festival or you want to spend some time out in your garden. From hiking to farming and attending outdoor weddings to shopping in stylish leather, wellies come in a wide range of styles and designs to ensure you can wear a pair whatever the weather.
Shopping Online
By far the easiest way to shop for new good quality wellies is online and you can narrow down your search by selecting the following:
- Your size
- The colour you want
- The style and design you like
- Men's, women's or children's wellies
You can also check out items available in the sale if you want to get hold of a cheaper price and you can even select a maximum or a minimum price if you want to specify how much you want to pay in your search.
Investing in good quality boots that will keep your feet warn and dry is well worth it, as they will last for a really long time and offer good value for money in the long run.

The weekend began with four men wounded, one critically, in overnight incidents reported across Philadelphia, and with additional gunshot victims reported across the region.
Police rushed a 22-year-year-old man to Temple University Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition after he was shot in the chest shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday on North Fairhill Street, not far West Susquehanna Avenue and North 6th Street in North Philadelphia. Just a few minutes later, police rushed a 24-year-old man to Temple, where he was reported in stable condition, after he was shot on North 27th Street, near West Cambria Street in North Philadelphia.
The city's first shooting victim this weekend was a 24-year-old man who was wounded in the leg at about 10:30 p.m. Friday in the area of 61st Street and Greenway Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia. Police rushed him to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was repotted in stable condition. Medics rushed a 56-year-old man to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was reported in stable condition after he was shot in the stomach shortly after midnight Saturday on Ridge Avenue near 26th Street in North Philadelphia.
A Philadelphia man is in police custody, accused of holding up the occupants of an ambulance — including a patient — at gunpoint Friday afternoon on the Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia, according to a FOX29 report. Nobody was injured when a barrage of bullets that struck homes in North Philadelphia overnight, according to 6ABC.
Police say someone left an envelope containing a bullet, a book of matches, and a gasoline-soaked wick on the windshield of a car belonging to a Philadelphia Municipal Court judge Friday morning, according to a the Philadelphia Inquirer. Detectives and the Philadelphia Police Homeland Security Unit are investigating the possible threat.

A woman was shot to death at about 5 p.m. Friday at a home in Gloucester Township, Camden County, NJ, according to media reports. The woman, who lived in Washington Township, had been house-sitting on Mayflower Drive, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. Police said that the victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds according to 6ABC. FOX29 says that the woman's identity has not been release pending notification of her family.
Police in Chester, Pa., are hoping that a $20,000 reward will lead to the killers of a Rite Aid manager who was shot to death Thursday night, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. The Philadelphia Inquirer spoke with the father of victim Jason McClay.
Police said a man was shot in Atlantic City Saturday morning, according to pressofatlanticcity.com, but early details have been scarce.
A former security guard was sentenced to 18 to 40 years in state prison Friday, after he was convicted in July of shooting a man to death outside a South Philadelphia strip club, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The Inquirer also reported that a 21-year-old Queens man was sentenced Friday to 45 years in prison for his involvement in the gang-related killing of a couple tortured in a Camden rowhouse three years ago. The FBI says that the man sought in a fatal 1992 shooting of a woman in a crowded Germantown restaurant has been arrested in the Philippines and brought back to Philadelphia to face trial, according to another Inquirer report.
Hundreds of volunteers are expected to come together Saturday on John F. Kennedy Boulevard in Philadelphia to participate in "American Casualties: A Drawing," making thousands of chalk outlines to remember victims of gun violence. The event is among many scheduled to celebrate Peace Day Philly.

We've been in our home now for 2.5 years and it still feels very much like a work in progress. I can easily think of a few rooms that could use some sprucing up! I guess that is how having a home is? The room that has all my attention at the moment though is our dining room which I would like to also function as an everyday eating area. It is separated from our kitchen, but still part of the main living space, has hardwood floors and the only table big enough to seat us all. It is also the first space you see from the front door which makes this decorating project feel extra intimidating to me.
Here's what it currently looks like:
A few of the things I know I want to do is take the rug out and possibly replace with a jute rug (with the hopes of layering in the future), add 4 more white eames chairs, paint the buffet a pretty green color, add gold nobs, and then hang big statement piece of art or a collage wall over it.
After that, I'm kinda stumped as to how to pull it all together! So last week I turned to Pinterest and started pulling images of dinning room and kitchen spaces I really like. Not surprisingly, and probably why I have a hard time starting or finishing my decorating projects, I could easily group my favorites into 3 categories…
ONE | bright + white
TWO: moody
THREE | bright + moody (basically a combo of the two)
Now I just have to decide which direction to go and I'm hoping you can help by answering a couple questions in the comments!?
- collage wall or oversized art?
- your favorite style — bright + white, moody, or bright + moody
Can't wait to see what you pick!
XO, Rae

John @ Cattrac is a good guy to be racing with !On our way to NORRA.... Class 5 old school
I havent found ANYTHING affordable about rebuilding my T4. By the time a get done, Im out another 5K.... I love the fact that class 5 wants to stay class 5. I think that its a great class, has some of the best built cars in the desert. Look at Baja Stus car.... beautiful work by 5Racer and Stu! I do think that running class 3000 is going to be a great time! I can run class 10 in Texas, and 3K on the west coast. Pump gas, less motor hassles, and BITD/ FORD will pay me to play..... HELL YES!Jim, I thought you sold your car? Are you moving to another class or? Curious what others think of how affordable a T4 can be. Steve Owe, weigh in on this. Good debate.
Jim, I thought you sold your car? Are you moving to another class or? Curious what others think of how affordable a T4 can be. Steve Owe, weigh in on this. Good debate.
I really admire all the hard work you put into your car. I enjoyed reading some of the threads on the rebuild. You did a very nice job taking an old car and freshening it up! Looks very nice and clean.Someday we will get back at it !!
that looks like back near the bessmeir mine shaft. aka turn 21 in the mdr days.MORE 500 picture few years back
BS LOL, that reminds me of my early 20's buiding the current car I race and play in. Keep it up and dont rush anything. Now post pictures.I'm excited people are talking about class 5. This forum has inspired me to sign up and talk with you guys. As for what has been posted I agree and disagree with all the points that have been made. I'm 25 (with no ball and chain) and have been throwing every bit of cash I make into my money hole (the race car). I have been building a competitive class five car from the ground up for the last two and a half years. Living off of bologna and ketchup sandwiches. Only a few people know the amount of dedication and sacrifice to achieve that. ( can't do it without a team thanks Austin and Jay) I love class five as much or more so then the next guy. I'm no millionaire so from were I stand and the research I've done along with the class ten drivers I have spoken to I'm going to run the Ecotec engine. And from the sound of it I'm not the only one. It is an unlimited class that is evolving do to the economic times and technology. But put whatever number you want to on the side of my car I will still resemble the ghost of the past (5U) witch we all love and why this thread was created. I just want to thank everyone who has posted. Can't wait to trade some paint with you guys. PS will post pictures for those of you calling BS on me and because it is awesome to see five unlimited Picts
I'm famous (green baja with ecotec racing cl 10 in last years plaster city race). Looks like i took a pretty good chunk with me on that lip.i wish i could trade my 9 car for a 5 car, haha
Nice little video thanks for posting!a few 5 car clips, enjoy.

International Conference on Design Principles and Practices
Thursday, January 16, 2014, 9:00 to Saturday, January 18, 2014, 17:00
University of British Columbia at Robson Square, Vancouver, BC
Design is our collective intelligence. It shapes the world we live in. We can recognize design in the materiality of our objects, the environments we dwell in, and the visual communication that we share. Design is the common ground of everyday life, and becomes the layer connecting the way we perceive our world, cultures and societies.
The conference will try to address the following questions with an interdisciplinary approach, through keynote speakers, workshops, and parallel sessions:
How does design contribute to the future of our societies?
What tools and approaches can we develop to share creativity and design?
What projects and creative solutions are designers producing for our collective future?
What is the relationship between individual action and collective sharing in design?
What is the relationship between ecological knowledge and cultural adaptation?
The International Conference on Design Principles and Practices, held in partnership with Emily Carr University of Art + Design and Carleton University School of Industrial Design, is now accepting proposals for presentations at our eighth annual conference. Proposals are reviewed in monthly phases, and the final submission deadline is 7 November 2013.
For more information on the conference themes, submission process and deadlines, registration, Graduate Scholar Applications and more, please visit our website: http://designprinciplesandpractices.com/the-conference

Simon & Schuster Brings E-Books to NYC Libraries
Simon & Schuster, the only major publisher to continually refuse to make any of its e-books available to lending libraries, is shifting its stance. The publisher announced Monday that it is making its complete list of electronic titles available at the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Public Library and the Queens Library as part of a one-year pilot program beginning April 30 (mid-May in Queens).
For the first time, patrons of those libraries will be able to borrow fiction classics including The Great Gatsby and Misty of Chincoteague, along with newer bestsellers including Walter Isaacson's biography on Steve Jobs, in e-book form.
Libraries will be able to offer unlimited checkouts of individual e-books one year after purchase. E-books can only be checked out by one patron at a time. (HarperCollins, by contrast, allows e-books to be checked out only 26 times before libraries must purchase a new copy.)
Here's where it gets interesting: Should no copies be available, patrons will be prompted to purchase a copy of the e-book from the library catalog.
Libraries will receive a 2% share of the proceeds from each e-book sold. Update: A spokesperson for Simon & Schuster writes, "my understanding that the percentage [libraries] were getting was in the double digits (a split of the agency fee minus transaction costs)," — not 2%.
Libraries and publishers have struggled thus far to bring e-books to libraries, the latter worried that such a move would cut into retail sales of e-books. Random House, which has made its full catalog available to libraries without lending caps, charges libraries up to three times the standard retail price of an e-book. Others only make old titles or new titles available to libraries through pilot programs.
If the pilot proves successful, the program could be brought to other U.S. library systems, Simon & Schuster said in a statement [PDF]. Perhaps other publishers will adopt the model as well, creating a sustainable, long-term lending model that works for both libraries and publishers.

Salman Rushdie first left India, as he wrote in a piece entitled A Dream of Glorious Return collected in the volume Step Across This Line, "when I was thirteen-and-a-half and went to boarding school in Rugby, England" in 1961. "Since then my characters have frequently flown west from India, but in novel after novel their author's imagination has returned to it" — often with an exile's nostalgia for the country of his youth. "You can never really leave," he notes.
Rushdie's latest novel, The Golden House, is set mainly in New York during the past eight years. But the question mark hanging heavily over its central character — and Rushdie keeps it hanging there for the duration of the narrative, only gradually letting slip small elements of what we know will be, essentially, a tragedy — relates to this figure's mysterious past in India.
Arriving in Greenwich Village on the day of Obama's inauguration in 2009, the "man who called himself Nero Golden", in his seventies and fabulously, obscenely wealthy from real estate, takes up residence in the exclusive "Gardens", with "three male children and no visible sign of a wife". Like F Scott Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby, he fuels endless rumours; and we are privy to his life through an unassuming narrator who is a neighbour: aspiring young film-maker René.
Nero's adult sons, like himself, re-invent themselves in the US, taking (faintly preposterous) Greek and Roman names: Petronius, Lucius Apuleius and Dionysus — or Petya, Apu and "D". All three take easily to the gilded world of the Manhattan elite, while René soon proves too implicated in the events Rushdie orchestrates to be a trustworthy guide.
A "golden story", René tells us, was in Roman times "a figure of speech that denoted a tall tale, a wild conceit, something that was obviously untrue. A fairy tale. A lie". And René's chronicle, a counterpart to a film he is making, is, he admits, full of untruths and inventions. While the balance between "magic" and "realism" here is much closer to realism than in Midnight's Children, there are constant little flights of imagination and reference.
Rushdie writes with a Dickensian exuberance, always full of humour as well as striking scornful, tragic notes. Often he plays the role of satirist. His caricatures and outsize figures are full of life, wickedness and human energy: again, as in Dickens, grounded in a precise social and political scene.
Yet there can be an unhelpful thinness to the characterisation. Obama's successor is portrayed as a comic-book character — "it was the year of The Joker in Gotham and beyond", Rushdie writes, as "America had left reality behind"; and there are passionate polemical passages, where the René/Rushdie mask appears to slip.

Continuing my bagged tea day.
This is a sample from the wonderful Ashmanra in the awesome package she sent me just before Christmas.
I hear that there might be a discussion on if Twinings in America are different than European Twinings.
Well, I do not know if I have much to say either way on that, I simply have not had enough of either to know for sure.
But, the one thing I have noticed is the difference between the leaf in the European and the US.
When I opened the samples from Twinings US, a poof of powder would always fly out of the packet.
The European samples are certainly chopped leaf but not anywhere as fine as the US ones.
The US ones were literally a powder.
Now, on to this tea.
Odor is a bright, sugary orange bergamot.
Taste. Mmmm, I like this tea.
I love the juicy sweet orange bergamot flavor!
I am a bergamot lover and I despise when its weak in the tea.
This tea does not disappoint.
Continuing my bagged tea day.

Berkeley Research Computing celebrates 1,000 HPC users
On April 6th at 2:30 PM, Berkeley Research Computing (BRC) reached a new milestone: the 1000th user account created in the high performance computing (HPC) environment. The lucky recipient of the 1000th account was Ted Xiao, an M.S. student working with Prof. Claire Tomlin in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department. In addition to working on machine learning and control systems, he is actively involved with Machine Learning at Berkeley, a student-run organization he founded last year.
Ted's account was created as a member of Professor Tomlin's faculty computing allowance (FCA) group. FCAs provide 300,000 "service units" on the Savio cluster annually to any qualified faculty member or principal investigator. Faculty members with an FCA can give students, postdocs, or other researchers access to BRC's Savio cluster by authorizing creation of a user account associated with their FCA.
Using Savio will be a significant step forward in Ted's research: "I'm looking forward to using Savio for a Deep Reinforcement Learning project. The project focuses on providing a 'guiding hand' to model-free reinforcement learning, through the use of auxiliary image-based tasks. Specifically, image observations will be predicted using a Generative Adversarial Network, a fairly recent model that has shown great promise in producing more realistic, concise images. I'll be using Savio's GPU [nodes] to train the neural network models, which will be a great boost in efficiency. What would take days or weeks on my personal computer can be trained in hours on Savio."
Since the launch of BRC in summer 2014, the program has added more than a user per day, on average. New FCA requests have accelerated in the last few months, with 3-5 requests coming in per week. HPC environments are only one component of BRC: several hundred researchers are supported by the program's cloud consulting services, and the recently-launched Analytic Environments on Demand (AEoD) virtual research desktop service is nearing a hundred users.
If you are a faculty member whose work would benefit from access to HPC or other research computing resources, you can request an FCA or email email@example.com to connect with a BRC consultant.

The Summer is upon us! We're just days away from June, and hopefully a few big Summer bangers in terms of big hit songs. There hasn't been one which has stood out just yet, but it is the Summer of the World Cup, and that means a World Cup song.
This time round it's done by Nicky Jam feat. Will Smith & Era Istrefi and is called Live It Up. I have only heard it once or twice, and I think it's a grower. We'll probably hear it quite a bit during the World Cup, I need to give it a proper listen before I make up my mind whether I like it or not.
There hasn't been much in terms of other new music which I've listened to, as I have been getting in the mood for the World Cup, listening to football songs – Maybe I will do a football playlist in the run up to the World Cup 😉
Here's my usual playlist, which isn't the biggest, but it has a couple of big songs in there. My favourite at the moment is probably 2002 from Anne Marie, however the thing I don't like about it is how inaccurate it is – She references lots of songs, none of which came out in 2002! 😂 She references songs like "Oops I Did It Again" (2000), "Bye Bye Bye" (2000), "99 Problems" (2003), Ride Wit Me (2000), Baby One More Time (1998). Anne Marie, you need to change the title of the song!
Here's my playlist for this month.
- Rita Ora, Cardi B, Bebe Rexha & Charli XCX – Girls
- Nicky Jam feat. Will Smith & Era Istrefi – Live It Up
- Natalia – Con Ganas
- Ariana Grande – No Tears Left To Cry
- Anne Marie – 2002
- Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa – One Kiss
- Sigala F/Paloma Faith – Lullaby
- Plan B – Guess Again
- Aitana, Ana Guerra – Lo Malo
- Bebe Rexha & Florida Georgia Line – Meant To Be
- George Ezra – Paradise

Hisapnics hail confirmation of Sotomayor
Senate confirmation hailed by Hispanics
News of Sonia Sotomayor's historic confirmation as the first Hispanic and third female Supreme Court justice spread quickly Thursday through the region's Latino community.
Puerto Ricans watched the Senate vote closely and rejoiced when Sotomayor -- raised in a public housing project in the Bronx, N.Y. -- was confirmed to replace David Souter and become the 111th justice on the Supreme Court.
"I was watching history on TV. It's such a proud moment to be able to witness history before my eyes," said state Rep. Andres Ayala, D-Bridgeport. "The fact that we will have a Puerto Rican sitting in the highest court of the land ... It's a moment full of pride. It shows anything is possible."
The daughter of Puerto Rican parents, Sotomayor graduated from two Ivy League schools -- Princeton University and Yale Law School -- then rose from assistant district attorney in Manhattan to become a federal appellate court judge.
The Senate's 68-31 vote to confirm Sotomayor ended a three-month process that sparked controversy over her qualifications and judicial philosophy that began after President Barack Obama nominated her in May.
"I'm glad Republicans saw beyond the party rhetoric," Ayala said. "Latinos, Puerto Ricans are now on the national spectrum and we are just as good as anyone to be able to sit at any level of government."
Bridgeport City Councilman Daniel Martinez, D-137, said Sotomayor's appointment to the Supreme Court can set the stage for a Latino to be considered a potential candidate for president of the U.S.
Martinez, a member of the Young Elected Officials Network, said the group sent congressmen letters urging them to approve Sotomayor. The new justice is an inspiration to Latino youth because she represents a much-needed role model in the Hispanic community, Martinez said.
"She's one of us. She didn't grow up in a rich, elite neighborhood. She grew up in a barrio," he said, using the Spanish word for a housing project.
Former Superior Court Judge Carmen Lopez said she could identify with Sotomayor's struggle to get past critics' intense scrutiny. "When someone with diversity of thought and diversity of opinion is given an opportunity to take a seat at the table, there is often resistance," she said, remembering her own struggle to get re-confirmed in 2005.
"Every time they said something awful [about Sotomayor] I would cringe," Lopez said. "Look at those credentials. How could you say anything about that?"
Ulises Batalla, acting executive director of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said Sotomayor's appointment and confirmation comprise a significant achievement in Latino history. "It's a huge step in the right direction for us as a growing national group to be represented at that level by someone of that caliber," he said.
Millie Maldonado, founder of the Puerto Rican Parade of Fairfield County, said the confirmation of Sotomayor is particularly important to Latino women. "Finally, Latinas are being recognized for their intelligence and their effort," she said in Spanish.

At the end of last week, Westonbirt hosted the largest Induction Day to date for an incoming Year 7 and we were delighted to welcome our next group of Year 7 students to school. With more applications still in progress, we are expecting a super year group in September!
In an historic move for Westonbirt, which is in its 90th anniversary year, it was announced a few months ago that the senior school was going to accept day boys into Year 7 from September 2019. This will be followed in 2020 with boys entry into years 7, 8 and 9. After 90-years of all girl provision, this is a bold move for Westonbirt and unusual in that most schools moving to co-education admit girls into an existing boys school. Westonbirt is changing things around admitting boys into an existing girls school and so far, we have been extremely pleased with the response.
On Induction Day, the new students quickly bonded together during a fun-packed day which included swimming in our on-site indoor pool, sports in the extensive grounds, an outdoor BBQ and a fashion show of all the different uniform kit by our current Y7 and Y8 students.
It was a delight to see all the boys who will be entering our first senior co-education year group alongside the girls! Our rugby team will go from strength to strength and we are looking forward to continuing to excel in other Westonbirt sports too.

Our email wizard makes creating a new email campaign with SugarCRM a breeze. Whether you're using our Cloud Integration or our SugarCRM Module, this article is for you. This article is also helpful for advanced users, as we review some of the specific back-end functions that occur between our platform and SugarCRM.
Within this article we are going to cover the following topics:
1. Creating a campaign that will sync with SugarCRM
2. Using custom fields from your SugarCRM instance to personalize your campaign message
3. Using Target List(s) from SugarCRM
To begin, please make sure you have the following items ready or complete:
1. Your SugarCRM instance should be successfully authenticated
2. You should have at least one Target List created in your CRM with targets assigned that have valid email addresses
3. Your campaign message should be ready to import
Step 1. Create a New Campaign
To get started, hover over create---->Email Campaign. located under Campaign Manager. This will open our Campaign Wizard and we can begin filling in the parameters for our new campaign, such as campaign name, subject line, from name, etc. You can customize the 'From Name', 'From Email Address' and 'Reply to Address' with any field synced with INBOX25 from your CRM. Here's a great explanation how this can be done.
Once you complete the required campaign parameters, you will find the SugarCRM input parameter at the bottom of Step 1. This is the most critical step in the process, as it determines if this is or is not a SugarCRM campaign. In order for INBOX25 to flag your new campaign as a SugarCRM campaign, you must enter a unique name/ID for your new SugarCRM campaign.
Please note: this SHOULD NOT be the name of an existing SugarCRM campaign. Our platform will utilize the unique name/ID you select, to automatically create a new campaign in your CRM. You're no longer required to manually create a SugarCRM campaign within your instance, we handle that for you.
If you do not select a SugarCRM name/ID for your new campaign, we will be unable to sync your campaign and target activity with your CRM. Once your campaign is deployed, there is no way to manually sync your campaign data with your CRM. So, please make sure you configure your campaign for SugarCRM on (Step 1) before your proceed any further.
Step 2. Setup your Campaign Message
Now that we have defined our basic campaign parameters, its time to setup our email message. There are a few options for message format and we always recommend that you choose Multipart. Multipart offers you the best of both Plaintext and HTML, by allowing your recipients email client to determine which format to show (based on your recipients preference). With the ever increasing number of mobile users, its always a good plan to have a text version of your message.
Now, select a source to import your campaign message from. In this article, we're going to select to import an existing template from SugarCRM (see below).
We'll select our template from a drop-menu that displays our available SugarCRM templates and click Import. (see below).
Now that we've imported our template, we're going to switch to Edit Mode in order to personalize our message with custom fields from SugarCRM. Simply click on Edit Mode above the preview of the message that you just imported.
Adding personalization from SugarCRM with default and custom fields is really simple. Just click on any location within your message that you wish to place your personalization tag, select the Code Snippet drop-menu and then scroll through the menu to select the personalization tag you want to use. In our example below, we added a 'Dear Firstname' greeting at the start of our message. When our campaign is sent our system will dynamically add the Firstname for each recipient in their message.
When you finish editing your message, be sure to click on Save Message before selecting Next to continue.
Important Note: Please ensure that your data is complete within your CRM. If a targets default or custom field is not filled in with data, we will be unable to merge the personalization for that the particular recipient.
Finally, we'll review the text-version of our mailer and make any final edits or changes. inBOX25 will automatically render a plain-text version based on your HTML version.
Step 3. Select your SugarCRM Recipients (Pro Marketer)
For Pro Marketers, under the Select Recipient Screen, you will not want to click on the checkbox "Show SugarCRM Target Lists" because as you read on, you'll notice that's not recommended for you.
Instead, you'll click on recipient lists from this selection. Notice that some of these lists have segments of Target Lists within them. Want to know how that happened? Click here to learn how to Auto-Segment your Target Lists.
Step 3. Select your Non-SugarCRM Recipients (Pro Marketer)
For those who either do not have SugarCRM or do not wish to send to SugarCRM list types, you can also send to Subscriber Lists (Email Marketer) or Marketing Lists (Pro Marketer). Both lists are imported via CSV or TSV files. You can learn how to import them successfully here.
If you wish to send to Subscriber and/or Marketing Lists, then on this same Select Recipient Screen, you will check off the box "Show Subscriber/Marketing Lists"
Note - This lists DO NOT sync to SugarCRM, so in order to view the report for the email campaign for these list types, you will need to look at the Email Campaign Report within INBOX25.
Step 4. Test and Schedule your Campaign
Now let's pick back up, where we left off. It's time to test and schedule your campaign. If you used any custom fields in your campaign (as we have in this article), we recommend testing with personalization on Step 4.1 (see below). You can also opt to test your campaign using our Email Testing Suite and preview your campaign in 34+ Email Clients and Spam Filters.
Schedule your Message
Now its time to complete the campaign setup process and schedule our campaign. Remember that campaigns are scheduled on the hour, so please factor that into your campaign deployment schedule.
What's Next?
Even though the Campaign Setup process is complete, the work on the back-end is just beginning. It's important to know that you can make any changes to your campaign up until 15 minutes before the deployment time. After 15 minutes, you will only be able to Pause or Cancel your campaign. The reason is that 15 minutes before your campaign is scheduled to deploy, we perform our final preparations for your campaign. These final actions include:
1. Comparing your Target List(s) against your inBOX25 Suppression List
2. Removing any Duplicate Records
3. Processing your Target List(s) into an inBOX25 Subscriber List format, including Custom Fields
4. Creating a SugarCRM Campaign (in your CRM instance) to sync campaign reporting data

The Blue Jays lineup had more of a big league look against Buck Showalter's Baltimore Orioles what with the return of Edwin Encarnacion and Colby Rasmus to the lineup.
Encarnacion has missed the past four games due to soreness in his left wrist while Rasmus has been absent since suffering a left oblique strain Aug. 11.
Encarnacion has been a potent force for a second consecutive season with his 28 doubles, 36 home runs and team-leading 104 RBIs.
Rasmus, meanwhile, despite not having any rehab games, stepped right back in and in his second at-bat of the night drilled a solo shot to right to help the Jays open a 3-0 lead. Adam Lind had put the Jays up 2-0 in the fourth with a two-run homer, his 20th of the season.
Rasmus added a single in the seventh in an 11-pitch battle with lefty reliever T.J. McFarland.
It was all for naught, though, as the Orioles scored three in the seventh following a dubious decision by John Gibbons to yank starter Todd Redmond who had allowed just three hits, and won it 5-3 courtesy of Chris Davis' 50th homer of the season, the first of two Baltimore runs in the eighth.
Rasmus has put together has most complete season as over 112 games he is hitting .274 with 26 doubles, 19 home runs and 61 RBIs. By complete we mean that there has been no second-half drop off such as he has experienced in his other big-league campaigns.
It is something the 27-year-old centre fielder takes pride in.
"I wanted to come back and finish strong, not just cash it in," he said of working to get back in the lineup instead of taking the rest of the season off.
He was asked if he is satisfied with his season to date.
"Aside from getting hurt I'd say I am," Rasmus said. "I've made a lot of adjustments this year and with our team's situation it wasn't easy on anybody. That made it tough but I was able to make adjustments and keep myself in at-bats and with that being said, I'm happy with it. It was a grind, it was tough but as I sit here right now I don't think I have anything to be down on myself about."
By adjustments, what does he mean?
"Understanding what these pitchers are trying to do to me, having a better approach at the plate, being able to hit some breaking balls a little better which is a big thing for me this year. Finding some things as far as my swing and just in my head that helped me. Motor (hitting coach Chad Mottola) helped me a ton, he's been great for me this year."
All in all he believes he is maturing as a player.
"No doubt and this is the first year I've actually been able to go at it on my own and learn from myself which is what I wanted to do coming in this year," he said. "My thought process was try to get to where when the game is on the line or things get tough, I have some answers within myself to try to fix it, not somebody else barking at me or telling me what to do."
Rasmus added that his relationship with both Mottola and manager John Gibbons has been a real plus in his development.
"Motor's younger and he played recently so it was more like talking to a friend about it instead of somebody just telling me what to do and me not having any input and being able to have thoughts for myself. I think that helps me to keep my mind clear on the field and be more instinctive during the game instead of being like a robot.
"This year Gibby's been great. He's kind of taken the reins off me and let me go and play and I think that's helped me a ton too. In the past we all know the manager I had before (Tony LaRussa) was a little tougher than that and he didn't let you do your own thing and be your own player. I think that hindered me a little bit because it took my instincts out of the game."
It was a bit of a puzzler, the decision by Gibbons to pull Redmond who was sailing along magnificently. But despite the fact he was pitching a shutout he was yanked from the game with one out and a runner at third in the seventh. Before the inning would end three runs would cross the plate and the O's were on their way.
"I know my guys pretty good and the plan was there to bring them in if there was any trouble," Gibbons said of his decision. "McGowan was one of our hottest guys lately. It backfired but that was our plan. It's uncharted territory for him (the seventh inning for Redmond). He's been off a little bit (first start since Sept. 3) but he threw a hell of a game. We just didn't get the outs.
"Sometimes to win the game you've got to stop things before they develop."
This night it fell apart after the move.
