The list on fibs comes directly from fibs, which saves ALL games including finished ones, for up to 24 hours (cleanup script runs once a day).RepBot saves the list for an extra day and does an intersection across the list, so that only unfinished matches are shown.There is still inaccuracy, say if you play the same player two days in a row.There are people around smart enough to go get the start dates of the savedgames list and repbot. Heck, do a search on this board and you may find a discussion related to it. Repbot was first, and Pattis' savedgames list was in direct response to the need repbot identified.How many more bothersome contacts from people recently dropped will Patti have to field after RepBot is gone? Does she think bothersome contacts from people pissed off about RepBot more than replaced those? Is it the volume of bothersome contacts she is really concerned about here?To those that support RepBot, consider this: while RepBot lives, noone will bother to construct a better system. I say clear the way! Maybe the best solution was marvins' original, which was to construct a 'complain' command which sends messages directly to the bit bucket.

Logged burper Fibsboarder ++ Posts: 837 Repbot « Reply #23 on: February 22, 2006, 03:32:15 PM » I'd also like to point out, to those accusing repbot of abusability, the existence of the 'friends' command. With this command, you only get the opinions of those you trust. A basic assumption is made that those you trust is the same as those you have vouched for. If people had chosen to use it, the "maria-factor" and "Biggles factor" and "10k club factor" would have been eliminated. In essence, everyone would get a custom view of the database. In addition, a vouch would mean a little more, since it would "cost" you in terms of diluting your own view. Conversely, the temptation for abusive complaints would diminish, since the effect would only go as far as your gang.vegasvic points out that, those who have been around awhile know who the droppers are. RepBot was a simple attempt at speed up that word-of-mouth.Perhaps replacing the 'ask' command with 'firends' command would satisfy Patti? Somehow, since I am the one suggesting it, I doubt it. Maybe maria of socksey or diane should suggest it.http://www.fibs.com/fibs_interface.html#repbot_friendsI would have thought maria would have been in favor of it, and try to convince everyone to use it, but that would have required thinking. <--that last part editted by socksey For her, here is a nutshell description of a similar system, with lots of pictures:http://getoutfoxed.com/nutshell « Last Edit: February 22, 2006, 05:48:23 PM by burper » Logged FIBS Board backgammon forum Repbot « Reply #23 on: February 22, 2006, 03:32:15 PM » sackofjaweea Newbie Posts: 2 Repbot « Reply #24 on: February 22, 2006, 03:32:47 PM » I love repbot.Before it, I was dropped on all the time.No, since I don't play people with negative reputations, I almost NEVER get dropped on.I believe that's the whole idea of repbot, and to this end it works extremely well.Keep on keepin' on, repbot!Now let's get rid of JOKEBOT and QUOTEBOT!--sackofjaweea (aka sackofshit, sackofshitweea, sackofjapeepee, etc.) Logged adrian Fibsboard Executive VIP Donor 09/10 Fibsboarder plus Posts: 273 Repbot « Reply #25 on: February 22, 2006, 04:21:20 PM » I will die without knowing the number of saved games a player has.

I am aware of players vouched by my "sworn enemies" and I don`t play them, even if their rep. is sky high.

I have played against players with apparently bad reputations and have found them to be pleasent and a good sport, and I have played some reputable players who have acted in a totally inappropiate and an ignorant manner!!I would, however, dearly love to have a "resolve" function, whereby, should a match be terminated unexpectedly it can award the game to the player depending on the position. A time frame can be given to resume the saved game before having it resolved!PS: I still haven't vouched for mookie!

What was the point? That shows me that there are:-a lot of fibs users whom alef is willing to refer other users to as "trusted" and "enjoyable" opponents-a lot of fibs users who feel alef would be a trusted and enjoyable opponent-a handful who feel the opposite about alef-a handful who alef feels the opposite about.Do you mean the high usage? That indicates RepBots' popularity to me.Honestly, what is the point you were trying to make?BTW, my original implementation called for a cap of 10 in each category. I felt that a limit would cause the value of each complaint and vouch to be considered more carefully before it was rendered, knowing that you have only that many. Avi felt otherwise, or was convinced by those that felt strongly about it, to uncap it.I had a feeling that the Biggles, maria and 10k-club phenomena would evolve, but I also felt that RepBot was better served if other opinions than my own werer factored into it.Its' an open-source project. If you want to be involved with it: https://sourceforge.net/projects/repbotThat is, if you have something more insightful to say than "I think it should be shot because I don't like it", or "its' fundamentally flawed because I didn't think of it first", "it can be manipulated because I haven't bothered to learn about the friends command", or "its' a pc of crap cause I say so" etc...In particular, the start of a discussion of the friends command: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thr...forum_id=176712 « Last Edit: February 22, 2006, 06:34:51 PM by burper » Logged Shuggie Fibsboarder + Posts: 62 Repbot « Reply #30 on: February 22, 2006, 05:54:26 PM » Keep repbot.

That's a huge design flaw, and a relatively simple one to fix. The thinking behind that aspect of RepBot was this (at least my portion of it): if someone is shouting something objectionable, or you are hearing via trusted users that they are doing objectionable things, you ought to be able to render your opinion based on that. In other words, the reputation was seen as casting a wider net that just droppers. I assume by 'easy to fix' that you mean it could check the savedgames list, or maintain one of its own via toggle report, and only accept opinions between users who have recently started matches. What if someone logs in and it is obvious to you that they are the same person with a different nickname? You would have to start a new match with them in order to render an opinion?Here is a direct question for Patti: if the only thing that changed, was that the 'ask' RepBot command was replaced with the functionality of the 'friends' command, would that satisfy your definition of a solution? I believe it removes both the motivation for, and the effects of, "abuse".Oops, let me revise that. The other critical change is to the address field as she has specified. « Last Edit: February 22, 2006, 08:51:00 PM by burper » Logged webrunner Fibsboard Executive VIP Donor 2014 Advanced Fibsboarder Posts: 1,335 Repbot « Reply #35 on: February 22, 2006, 08:41:09 PM » Patti,Lets keep at the problem at hand.I thought you wanted to shut it down because it causes people to complain to you since there is no 'official place" for stuff about repbot, or at least.. it is not communicated.That has nothing to do with the design or functions of repbot. Furthermore.. since repbot is open source it can be enhanced, unlike fibs.I offered a solution for this, why is that not good enough?I'll even setup an emmailbox for repbot if that is neccesary.In my opinion there is no other reason to shut it down, or is it causing trouble on the fibs server? « Last Edit: February 22, 2006, 11:07:40 PM by socksey » Logged "There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path."Bruce Lee===================================Orion Pax | FIBS Board backgammon forum Repbot « Reply #35 on: February 22, 2006, 08:41:09 PM » Patti Silver member Fibsboarder plus Posts: 276 Repbot « Reply #36 on: February 22, 2006, 10:14:01 PM » I want to get rid of it because it causes multiple problems. The main problems are that people complain to me about things that happen with RepBot, and that there's a huge exploitable hole in it that causes me to have to do a lot of cleanup on FIBS.I don't believe that the former can be reasonably solved-- people are going to whine to me regardless, though social engineering could reduce this problem. I do believe that the latter can, and I participated in an extensive design discussion for a solution over a year ago. I can't remember who was involved, though... Jeepsy? Jonesy?It's also violating a FIBS rule by not having valid contact information for an administrator. If there's a problem with a bot on FIBS, I want to be able to get in touch with the owner of said bot, and I want any user on the system to also have that ability. Unless the dropbox goes to someone who can Solve The Problem Right Now, it's insufficient. (This is trivial to fix. All the current owner has to do is log in and use the "address" command to enter his email address. Voila!)And yes, RepBot causes trouble on the server. The problem it causes is that some people will create multiple accounts, throw lots of matches between them to build up experience, and then bomb RepBot with complaints. I then have to go in and clean up.As for burper's friend command solution, I'm not sure that will work terribly well. What happens if a user is new to FIBS? Since experienced users already know who the droppers are, RepBot is most useful to newcomers. And if newcomers can't get sufficient information, what's the value?I've seen a lot of people over the years say that they want to fix RepBot, but nobody has ever stepped up to the plate to do anything about it. Maybe this time they will-- the current situation is no longer workable for me.

And if newcomers can't get sufficient information, what's the value? I don't put users into those two narrow bins: "brand new", and "all knowing". Most users are somewhere in between. If you define "new" as having experience 0, meaning they don't play very much, then it hardly matters does it? And experienced users that instantly know who all the droppers are? That doesn't exist.What happens when a new user logs in and there is no RepBot at all? Not much different from a friends-only RepBot. But it doesn't take very long for people to start making friends. Make just one vouch after your first match and you have a tiny bit better idea of who to play. Better than none at all. Does your definition of "new" cover someone with experience==3?How about after they've played 20 matches or so, and maybe been dropped once or twice. Still "new"? With a friends-only RepBot, they would have *some* reputation information to go by, and more as they went on. Inf act, 20 matches worth.And the all-knowing ones? How can they know about a "new" nick, unless perhaps someone or two people on their list has alerted them to the new dropper? How can the "experienced users", however you define them for me, know about droppers that don't even exist yet?But go ahead and bend reality anyway you want Patti, its' clear your mind is made up, and its' your server.

This week's "Super Tuesday" balloting in nearly two dozen states has the attention of some local Catholic newspapers where the contests are being held. Some examples: The Catholic Explorer in the Diocese of Joliet, Ill., covered how one parish offered a workshop on how Catholic voters should approach the state's presidential primary. It also has an editorial on the importance of voting and a review of a new book on how faith has been practiced by occupants of the Oval Office since John F. Kennedy. And The Catholic Spirit in St. Paul, Minn., has a story on how participating in Minnesota's precinct caucuses can bring Catholic values into the public arena.

The 2012 Bishop Hendricken football team has some tough acts to follow. In 2010, the Hawks won their first Super Bowl title since 1996. Last year, with a whole new lineup, they won again, authoring perhaps the biggest upset in Rhode Island Super Bowl history when they knocked off unbeaten La Salle.
So what's the encore?
For now, the Hawks aren't worried about it.
"One of the things I've said to the kids is, 'Listen, we're not chasing history," said head coach Keith Croft. "We're not trying to win our third Super Bowl in a row.' We just want to follow the same blueprint we've followed the last five years – get better as the year goes on, play into December and get into the playoffs."
That blueprint has obviously worked, especially last year. The Hawks had a host of new starters and struggled a bit early in the season. But they improved every step of the way, and by the end of the year, they weren't just better – they were the best.
This year's team has a similar profile. Again, Hendricken lost a lot of talent and experience. And again, the Hawks are just focused on getting better.
"It seems like every year, we lose a really good group of seniors," Croft said. "This year, no difference. I think we've got the basis for being a solid team and I think we've got the guys in place to do what we want to do offensively and defensively. It's just going to take some time."
The Hawks certainly have some holes to fill. They lost six All-Staters to graduation, including Super Bowl MVP and Warwick Beacon Male Athlete of the Year Ryan Brannigan.
"It's going to be kind of a different group," Croft said. "We've got some question marks at a lot of positions, but like we tell the kids, we view them as opportunities. We think we have enough depth that kids are going to step in."
The quarterback position will have a new starter for the third year in a row. The previous two years, there was a senior primed and ready to step in – Mike Maloof in 2010 and Brannigan last year.
The picture is a little different this year. Juniors Patrick Gill and Brandon Kenyon are competing with sophomore John Toppa for the starting job.
"They all have their strengths and their weaknesses, but they're all good kids," Croft said. "What's kind of unique about all of them is that whoever is not the starting quarterback will have a chance to play another position. So that's a good thing."
Gill and Kenyon have shared time under center since their days on the freshman team. Toppa quarterbacked the freshman team to the state title last year.
"They're all fairly athletic," Croft said. "Gill is a little more of a scrambling-type quarterback. Toppa is more your prototypical drop-back passer, but he's also athletic. Kenyon is a strong kid who's got really good footwork."
In addition to the new faces at quarterback, the running back position will also look different. Last year, Louis Falcone emerged as a standout and earned second-team All-State honors, but he graduated, along with fullbacks Jullion Pope and McKinley Berriman.
Junior Remmington Blue returns with some experience, while senior defensive standouts Marco DelVecchio and Jarrid Witherspoon are in line to get some time in the backfield as well. There are also several talented sophomores who could play themselves into the mix.
"I don't want to say it's going to be running back by committee, but I definitely think we're going to have a lot of kids who can touch the ball and be effective," Croft said.
Last year, a strong offensive line paved the way for much of Hendricken's ground success, and the formula will be the same this year, even though the line looks different. First-team All-Staters Andrew Breting and Max Heintzelman both graduated, along with standout Billy Stewart, but the Hawks do bring back seniors Nick DeCiantis and Joe Vincent to anchor the unit. Junior Dallas Sauer is also primed to step in, while juniors Nick Mariano and Brendan Smith are competing to start at center. Senior Mario McClain, a standout on the defensive line last year, may also see some time on offense this year.
"I think as the weeks progress and the weather gets cooler, the line will take care of itself," Croft said. "That's the way it usually goes. Coach [Joe] Bucci will have them all figured out."
On the defensive side of the ball, the Hawks will be led by McClain in the trenches and by the linebacking corps, the team's most experienced unit. DelVecchio and Witherspoon were starters all year, while senior Erik Olson had grabbed a starting job before an injury late in the season.
"That's huge having all of them back," Croft said.
The secondary has some players with experience as well as some new blood. The good news is that there isn't much separation among a big group of players.
"I think the good thing with the secondary is we have some depth there," Croft said. "The guy who's a starter may not just stay out there 99 percent of the time. We've got a lot of guys who can contribute there."
All in all, the Hawks have a lot of guys who can contribute everywhere. Though there isn't a ton of experience, Croft thinks they're ready.
"One of the things we're going to be talking to these kids about is, if you've played football here at Hendricken, you've tasted success and you've played in big games," Croft said. "I'm not overly concerned with our guys folding under pressure or under the bright lights. I think as we get them acclimated to the system we play offensively and defensively, sophomores, juniors, seniors all kind of goes out the window after the first few weeks anyway."
If all goes according to plan, the Hawks will make the playoffs, and from there, they'll see what they can do. Another championship would make the Hawks the first team to win three straight Super Bowls since the 1994-1996 Hendricken teams. But that possibility is a long way off – with a lot of work to do in the meantime.
"Success is going to be determined by what happens in the playoffs, and we're hoping to be a playoff team this year," Croft said. "I know La Salle is going to be very good this year, and I'm hearing a lot about Portsmouth. They're kind of the upper echelon teams. Hopefully, we can sneak in like we did last year. I think we'll get better as the year goes on, get a little more confidence and we'll see some of these guys come of age."

1997 Jeep TJ Brute Paint - Project Teal-J II BrutePosted in Project Vehicles on November 1, 2007
For those of you who are new to Four Wheeler, the Jeep you see here isn't one of those one-off prototype rigs destined for a big auto show. No, this is our project Teal-J, post-AEV Brute pickup conversion, which we covered in the August and September '07 issues.
It all started when a showroom-stock '97 Jeep TJ was purchased by Four Wheeler back in May 1996. At the time, the initiative was a joint effort between Chrysler's top brass and then-Feature Editor Ben Stewart to bolster interest amongst consumers for a vehicle that eventually became a 4x4 benchmark. Without a doubt, our editors, as well as Chrysler executives, never imagined that Teal would reach the near iconic status she enjoys today. And thanks to you, our loyal readers, we're still at it more than 10 years later.
Teal-J is all grown up now, and unarguably in her prime as a Brute pickup. As such, she gets more attention than ever before. We're not sure if that's due to a lack of familiarity with AEV's clever Brute kit, or just plain excellence in execution. Whichever the case, we can't take the rig anywhere without being engaged in conversation about her. In this episode, we'll delve into the sweet new paint job and equally impressive bodywork that was completed by DC Customs of Ukiah, California, prior to her grand reintroduction at Easter Jeep Safari '07. Next time we'll tackle our Brute's interior upgrades including some trick creature comforts and a sweet cargo tie-down system.

Back to Our Listings
We sold our home with Brace in 60 days, when we received the first offer from our Buyer. Brace and his team were a true asset in pricing our home right, in making the key advantages of our home be noticed by buyers throughout the marketing materials,and in the ensuing negotiation after we received the offer. Brace knows Eden Prairie inside and out, and better than any other Realtor. He understood that this one was the offer, and prepared us to position the negotiation to maximize our revenue. We will say it again.. if your property is in the southwest metro, look no further! We do unconditionally recommend Brace and his team to anyone selling a home here. Thanks Brace!
I've done real estate all my life, and finding the right price is critical in selling a house. It was helpful to have Brace there to go through that with me and give me his counsel along the way. I didn't necessarily want to hear about the price of my house going down, but he delivered it as objectively as he could. Once I started getting offers, I was glad I had Brace representing me. His expertise in going through the process, talking it through with me, and handling the negotiations, was a huge support.

Belgian documentary photographer Alice Smeets has traveled the world and covered everything from war to famine. However her series on Witchcraft has blown me away! This series captures the life and practices of the modern witchcraft practitioner by pulling back the veil on this ancient yet taboo tradition. Smeets says about this project:
"Modern Witchcraft is practiced across Europe, the USA and the rest of the Western World. It is extremely diverse; with beliefs that range widely from polytheism to animism, to pantheism and other paradigms. The largest movements of this self-termed Neo-Paganism are Wicca and Druidism; the followers of which call themselves Witches or Druids, sharing beliefs of Magic, Witchcraft and Nature's Power. They respect their environment and celebrate eight Sabbats in the Wheel of the Year where they praise the divinities of nature. They often hold rituals – called Esbats – on the Full Moon. In part, they return to some of the old Celtic traditions.
While Wicca is a very young religion – formed by Gerald Gardner not more than 50 years ago, its roots are much older than Christianity. It has no relationship to Satanism, which is one of many misconceptions held by the public. Ancient pagan beliefs have begun to make their way into the Neo-Pagan community in many ways, making our spiritual path a very deep one, rooted and grounded in the very earth that supports us. From its origins in England it is now widely spread across Europe, America and the rest of the world. At the present time, Neo-Paganism is a large network of small communities with its own organizations, festivals, magazines, shops, workshops, gatherings and ceremonies. Witches can be found everywhere: in the supermarket, in the streets, as well as in our own neighborhood. And you would not know these Witches unless you were told who they were or were one yourself."

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Indian mobile phone company Bharti Airtel Ltd is replacing the chief executive of its key domestic operations as the group seeks to reverse a trend of declining profits.
The world's fourth-biggest mobile phone carrier by customers has struggled to grow amid tough competition in its home market, which accounts for about 70 percent of its revenue. The Indian mobile market leader, which also operates in Africa, had posted 11 straight quarters of declining profit in September.
Sanjay Kapoor, a 15-year veteran of the company, will be replaced by group director of special projects Gopal Vittal as chief executive of India operations from March 1, the group controlled by billionaire Sunil Mittal said on Tuesday.
Vittal, who rejoined Bharti last year after a stint with India's largest consumer goods maker Hindustan Unilever Ltd, will focus on increasing market share and margins and also on growing alternate revenue streams such as 3G data and mobile money, Bharti said.
Bharti Airtel shares jumped in afternoon trade ahead of the news, with traders attributing the surge to a likely sector-wide increase in voice call tariffs. The stock closed 5 percent higher, while rival Idea Cellular climbed 8.4 percent.
Bharti and its rivals in India launched high-speed 3G mobile data services in early 2011 after spending billions of dollars to buy airwaves. The premium services, however, have achieved slower than expected growth.
Indian mobile operators receive 85 percent of their revenue from voice calls but are increasingly trying to expand higher-margin data services.
"Until now it has only been about voice. Now it will be about data, video calling, so many other applications pertaining to data," said a Mumbai-based telecoms analyst who declined to be named.
Vittal, with his consumer goods background, is well-placed to drive the change, the analyst added.
Kapoor, who was Bharti's head of India and South Asia, will remain on the board of the group's telecoms tower joint venture Indus Towers. He was not immediately available for comment on Tuesday.
Apart from India, Bharti operates in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in South Asia and 17 countries in Africa. The company's Bangladesh and Sri Lanka operations will become part of Bharti's international unit, currently headed by Manoj Kohli.

Guerra a late addition to roster puzzle
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The White Sox claimed right-handed reliever Javy Guerra off of waivers from the Dodgers on Wednesday, all but setting up their roster for the start of the 2014 season.
But approximately two hours after the 28-year-old was added, general manager Rick Hahn stated that nothing should be read into this move in regard to the final 25 pieces to the roster puzzle.
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The White Sox claimed right-handed reliever Javy Guerra off of waivers from the Dodgers on Wednesday, all but setting up their roster for the start of the 2014 season.
But approximately two hours after the 28-year-old was added, general manager Rick Hahn stated that nothing should be read into this move in regard to the final 25 pieces to the roster puzzle.
"I want to make sure it's clear that nothing is set at this point in terms of our Opening Day roster," Hahn said. "We don't have to set that until Sunday.
"At this point, we potentially have another arm in the organization who can help us at some point during the season. I wouldn't read too much into the claim, that it happened today and therefore automatically means something is going to happen come Sunday. Let's just let the next few days play out and we potentially add another nice bullpen piece."
This much is certain regarding the White Sox roster makeup, or as close to certain as it can be before Sunday. Adrian Nieto will be the backup catcher to Tyler Flowers, with Marcus Semien starting at second base and Leury Garcia serving as the utility infielder/fifth outfielder.
Second baseman Gordon Beckham and infielder Jeff Keppinger will begin the season on the disabled list, with Beckham hoping to return when he is eligible on April 5 and Keppinger basically re-starting rehab on his right shoulder. The bullpen also looks to be lined up with Nate Jones, Matt Lindstrom, Ronald Belisario, Guerra and Maikel Cleto from the right side, and Scott Downs and Donnie Veal from the left side.
That alignment means Daniel Webb, Zach Putnam and David Purcey would open at Triple-A Charlotte, with one of the three in position to claim that final bullpen slot as of Tuesday. Lindstrom's strained left oblique hasn't been a question since he returned to the mound on March 21, having given up one run in three appearances, and the White Sox have been inclined in the past to go with at least two lefties out of the 'pen.
So there doesn't look to be an opening with Guerra's addition.
Veal, Guerra and Cleto being out of options has to figure into the equation.
"So far I didn't run into anybody who potentially is in limbo and had a chance to discuss what this may mean for them or may not," said Hahn, who mentioned that manager Robin Ventura and his staff knew this Guerra move was potentially coming and how it would impact the staff.
"It throws a wrench into it. We'll discuss it today as we go," Ventura said. "We had it set. This is one of those unforeseen things that comes up, and we'll discuss it one more time."
Beckham sustained his strained left oblique while taking swings in the batting cage following a game on March 14. If he had the positive rehab day that he had Wednesday on Tuesday, he might have had a chance for Opening Day.
Instead, Beckham will stay in Arizona for extended spring camp and then play a couple of games with Double-A Birmingham before he returns.
"I've had tweaks in the past and gotten over them pretty quick. This one was definitely worse, I just didn't know how much worse," Beckham said. "It's frustrating, but I'd rather miss five games early than miss six weeks. I feel like if I rush this that's a possibility.
"Robin and Rick have reiterated to me that we can't have that. We can't have a two-month period where I'm not playing the game like we did last year. It's more important for the team and me that I get completely healthy before I come back."
Many improvements and changes have been made to the roster, but Hahn reiterated Wednesday his work is not done. It's an ongoing process that will continue well past Sunday's morning workout at U.S. Cellular Field.
"Frankly, I don't think we are ever going to feel we are done doing that until there is a parade scheduled," Hahn said. "It's a work in progress. I know that internally we had a list of items we wanted to cross off at some point.
"We've been frank all along. We have not crossed all those things off our list. By the time we get done with this original list, whether it's in a few weeks or few months or next offseason, other needs will inevitably arise in this game. We feel that we've made a lot of progress over the last 10 months, but we know we aren't done yet."

3rd annual Chevy High Performance Nationals
The Chevy High Performance Nationals is right around the corner and we've officially opened up the doors to our Street Machine Challenge!
If you want to compete against other street machines on the dragstrip, autocross, and even put your brakes to the test in the 60-0 Speed Stop, then you don't want to miss this event.
All you need to do is email us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com and be sure to include several images of your ride with complete details. Once you are picked, we'll give you update until the event and all you need to do is show up at Atlanta Dragway on the weekend of May 31 - June 2 and get ready to have a lot of fun.
Keep in mind, we give extensive editorial coverage to our event and bring some of the best feature photographers in the country - yes, this is a great opportunity to get your pride and joy in the pages of Chevy High Performance!
Once again, the email address is email@example.com and we'll see you there!
What's Your Poison?
I may be too late to help you with this but you have asked a question that is part of my passion for the machines we like to drive. Like you, I have always had a preference for the torque of a big-block and I have been working with them long before I could drive. I know that part of the reason for this is that I go with what I know and the big-blocks are what I know the best. It's more than that though. For the torque and horsepower attainable I don't think there is a more economical engine.
Like you, I am impressed with the longevity and ease of operation of the LS driven cars and trucks but they don't impress me with their fuel economy or their torque. I could site several examples of more fuel efficient Chevy's I have owned with traditional small-block or LT1 350s. The LS engines give up low rpm efficiency for higher rpm power even in trucks. Load vs. torque at rpm is the key here and I have seen consistent 34 mpg with a '94 LT1 F-body and in high speed endurance racing my 489ci big-block muscle car beats the 5.7 liter LS1 of my Corvette 9 to 7 mpg while getting there faster too.
It should be apparent by now that I would like to see all of the big-block projects you mentioned and it's one of the reasons I subscribe to CHP. I think that most of the improvements in the last few decades have been in the heads and it would be nice to see what modern techniques can do for the big engines. My current project is correcting Chevy's mistake by putting a big-block in a fifth-generation Corvette. Fuel injected of course. It should easily surpass the power levels of the ZR1 and be way cheaper to boot. Now if you could see fit to try that in the pages of your publication I would be thrilled. You can take all the credit for the idea. I even have most of the fitment problems worked out already for you.
If you're still reading this, then thank you for a great magazine and for asking the question. I'll keep reading it from cover to cover whatever poison you choose. They are all Chevy's, and that's always a good thing.

text: Golden State Sorrows July 31, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet While labor intensive farms await immigration reform, workers place brussels sprout seedlings in the chute of a planter. © Nancy Nehring TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Tyne Morgan US Farm Report Host Email Immigration reform threatens California agriculture and leaves farmers with an uncertain future firstname.lastname@example.com As grape vines dance in the wind and fresh fruit ripens waiting to be picked, immigration reform trudges on in California—home to 350 different crops and a diversity of fresh produce that requires seasonal hand labor. "With too few hands to harvest crops, the landscape of CAlifornia is starting to Change." Already this year, labor shortages forced fresh produce to rot in fields. Growers say it's their vital acres of agricultural goods at stake. With too few hands to harvest crops, the landscape of California agriculture is starting to change. Asparagus grower Barb Cecchini fears it could cause her to not even grow asparagus in the future. "Labor ranks as my number one, number two and number three problems," Cecchini says. "I'm probably going to get out of the industry in the next five years. I don't have any plans to plant new asparagus, and you have to have new asparagus coming in all the time." Cecchini says labor shortages are heavier than ever before. This spring, she was 25 workers short. An improving Mexican economy combined with uncertainty surrounding the legality of immigrant workers is driving more workers away. California Farm Bureau says Cecchini isn't alone. Last year, 61% of surveyed growers reported labor shortages. A situation of too few workers could force many California farmers to make a difficult decision. "Do I let acres go fallow? Do I sell my land? Do I go into other crops?" asks Rayne Pegg, California Farm Bureau manager of federal policy. "It's a question of who can survive under that model." Wendy Moore raises grapes for wine just south of Sacramento. Growing such a fragile crop means the fruit needs to be harvested in a timely manner. She says growers find comfort in knowing a skilled workforce is available at harvest time. Without new legislation, she says that assurance isn't there. "This year we extended our harvest by three days, which doesn't seem like much, but when you have a perishable product, the quality of that product deteriorates as time goes on," Moore says. Fix H-2A. The current H-2A program isn't flexible enough to meet her needs, she says. However, Moore has high hopes for the new legislation, which not only replaces that program with a nonimmigrant agricultural visa and blue card program, but addresses granting legal status to illegal workers in agriculture. She says it also carves out a clear path for a steady flow of new, young workers in the future. Cecchini, on the other hand, isn't in favor of the legislation. "I think it's just going to be so cumbersome and so expensive that we're not going to be able grow crops that are labor intensive," Cecchini says. "For years, the (agricultural) industry has said that it wants a legal and stable workforce," notes Marc Grossman representing United Farm Workers (UFW). "This legislation offers the relief that they seek. Farm workers can stay in the country and get out from under the vulnerability to abuse that their legal status has plagued them with." UFW wanted higher wages for farm workers, but the bill was all about compromise, Grossman says. Both parties settled. Moore says she currently pays part-time employees $1.50 above minimum wages, and full-time employees receive full health care benefits. Neither she nor Cecchini can afford to pay more without driving up prices at the store. Pass Reform. Without a final immigration reform bill passed in Washington, D.C., all parties involved know California agriculture is at stake, and "Made in America" could become a rare trademark. Immigration legislation (S. 744), which creates a new visa category for farmworkers and gives leeway for the Agriculture secretary to be flexible with the flow of immigrant workers, passed the U.S. Senate this summer. The bill has a shaky future as it heads into the Republican controlled House, where a large number of conservatives strongly oppose it. Essential Labor From the West Coast to the East Coast, finding good labor on the farm continues to be a challenge and hinders growth. The House supports a bill that sends the current workforce back to their country to reapply for a visa, lists employees under a "seasonal" category and is controlled by the Department of Labor. This plan could be a train wreck for dairies that rely on immigrant labor to stay functional, says Alan Novak, Professional Dairy Managers of Pennsylvania executive director. PDMP members visited Capitol Hill this summer to earn support from the House. The group talked about the importance of providing a safe and healthy environment for their workers, the value of reliable labor, the difficulty in finding Americans who are willing to work on a farm and the impact it could have on the economy. 50% Of crop workers are estimated to be undocumented. 2 States—Texas and California—account for more than one-third of all farmworkers. 19% Of crop workers hold green cards or other work authorization forms. 33% The number of present-day farmworkers born in the U.S. Back to news

FrontRunners History:
Powered By Gartner Methodology
A Graphic of the Top-Performing Customer Relationship Management Products
FrontRunners quadrants highlight the top software products for North American small businesses. All products in the quadrant are top performers. Small businesses can use FrontRunners to make more informed decisions about what software is right for them.
To create this quadrant, we evaluated over 1,050 Customer Relationship Management products . Those with the top scores for their capability and value made the quadrant.
Scores are based largely on reviews from real software users, along with other product performance details (e.g., what features they offer, how many customers they have).
Nope, Products in Any Quadrant May Fit Your Needs
Every product in this quadrant offers a balance of capability (how much the products can do) and value (whether they're worth their price/cost) that makes them stand out in the race for small business software success.
FrontRunners has four sub-quadrants:
Depending on the specific needs of a software buyer, a product in of these sub-quadrants could be a good fit.
Why? To even be considered for this FrontRunners, a product had to meet a minimum user rating score of 4.1 for both capability and value. This means that all products that qualify as FrontRunners are top-performing products in their market. They appear in the quadrant in relation to how their peers performed.
For some buyers, a specific FrontRunners sub-quadrant might be best. For example, a CRM product in the Leaders quadrant may feature a robust set of contact management functions that will be applicable to a broad array of businesses, while a product in the Contenders quadrant might focus more specifically on one capability, such as interaction tracking.

Products Are Scored Based on User Reviews and Other Data

, but the gist is that products are scored in two areas, Capability and Value.
To be considered at all, products must have at least 20 reviews and meet minimum user rating scores. They also have to offer a core set of functionality—for example, all CRM products must feature contact management, interaction tracking and lead management capability, as well as some combination of email campaign support, workflow automation, forecasting/reporting, call center management and/or customer support.
From there, user reviews and other product performance details, such as the product's customer base and the features it offers, dictate the Capability and Value scores. Capability is plotted on the x-axis, and Value is plotted on the y-axis.

Aaron Rome was a divisive figure during his tenure with the Canucks, which is surprising considering he is a low-risk, low-event bottom pairing defenseman. Rome was a whipping boy for those in the fan base who disagreed with some of Alain Vigneault's personnel decisions (namely playing Rome over the much more talented Keith Ballard).
Rome was a well-liked teammate, a hard worker, and a very solid defenseman relative to his cap hit. It is unfortunate how his 2011 season ended (the Nathan Horton hit), especially considering the Canucks were already without Dan Hamhuis, and both Alex Edler (broken fingers) and Christian Ehrhoff (shoulder injury) were far from being 100 percent.
Rome suffered a broken hand before the 2011-12 season even started, and he didn't make his debut until November. And what a debut it was.
On November 6th, 2011, Rome returned to the lineup against the Chicago Blackhawks.
His uncanny ability to chip the puck out of the zone off of the glass was still there, but that is not why Rome clocks in at number seven on this list.
Cody Hodgson makes a nice centering pass to David Booth, who channels his inner Mario Lemieux to "dummy" the puck to Rome, who has all the time in the world to rip the puck past an unscreened Corey Crawford. Rome is now a member of the Dallas Stars, where he will play a big role with a club in the middle of a significant transition.
The goal:
Let's break it down.
Hodgson rushes the puck into the corner, and fires a beautiful back hand pass to Booth, who is loading up for a one-timer from the slot. Rome is lurking in the background.
Swing and a miss for Booth, who has his stick checked at the last second. Rome is still out of the frame. Hodgson has drawn two Blackhawks to the corner, freeing up some open ice near the blue line.
Rome makes his first appearance in the clip. He receives the puck, winds up for a fake slap shot to give the forwards time to screen Crawford. Hodgson gets set up to tip in a wayward shot or pounce on a rebound.
After finally finishing his shot fake, Rome decides to test out his new bionic hand.
Great success!
He was a bit wide open, eh? Again, great work by Hodgson to lure a check away from the point. Crawford also is nice enough to give Rome the entire net to shoot at.
Higgins doesn't get over to screen in time, but it doesn't matter. Becasue it's Corey Crawford, he gets beaten clean.
The goal kick started a Jeff Cowen-like hot streak for Rome, who scored another goal on November 10th, then had a goal disallowed against Los Angeles before adding one more on November 13th for good measure. In 105 previous games with the Canucks, Rome had exactly one goal (of the empty net variety).
Rome has been a productive defenseman at the AHL level, and it will be interesting to see how his role changes with the Stars. His time with the Canucks wasn't full of highlights, but he did provide a few of them.

The Jason Bay Platoon as begun and tonight we'll see the left-handed side in Jordany Valdespin against the Marlins.
Actually, we should see Valdespin full time because when you come right down to it, they have no real outfielders to speak of. Arguably, their best outfielder is one who should be a role player and that's Scott Hairston. Andres Torres hasn't given the Mets anything to get excited about. Neither has Lucas Duda. Kirk Nieuwenhuis provided a jolt of energy for awhile, then plummeted to Earth, and later to the minor leagues where he's nursing a foot injury.
And, of course, we all know about Bay. An ESPN poll had 76 percent eating Bay's contract, but it's not their money and GM Sandy Alderson will wait things out in hopes of finding somebody stupid enough to trade for him.
Until then, he's on the bench, and we should see Valdespin in all situations the rest of the way to see what kind of player he is. This should be a six-week audition for 2013.
Here's tonight's line-up, which features Valdespin in left and batting sixth.
Ruben Tejada, SS
Mike Baxter, RF
David Wright, 3B
Ike Davis, 1B
Daniel Murphy, 2B

Jeremy Renner's family day
Jeremy Renner was out yesterday in LA with Sonni Pacheco and their daughter Ava Berlin, 5 months. Ava is chunky and cute. I can't see either one of her parents in her face yet. OK maybe there's a little of her dad in her eyes?
Jeremy and Sonni are supposedly not together, even though she lives on his property. I've heard conflicting reports though. A few sources insist that they've been together the whole time but for whatever reason, he just doesn't want to confirm their relationship because there would actually be less scrutiny on it if the world believed that they were raising a child together but not actually together. It's not a bad strategy, especially since Sonni isn't famous on her own. This way he'll only have to answer questions about being a dad and not questions about being a lover.
Renner will next be seen in theatres in American Hustle, set for release in December and it's expected to be a contender during awards season…if it's any good, that is. Movies are contenders and then people screen them and sometimes they're not contenders anymore. This happens at least once a year – a film is super-hyped based on talent and in the end it doesn't deliver. You think American Hustle could be one of those?

Mallya: Good evening Dr Gill. Hope you're having a good times.
Gill: Tell me Dr Mallya, I don't have time. I'm a leader you know, not a cheerleader.
Mallya: Sir, I've come for a request. This is about recognizing Formula 1 as a sport.
Gill: Is this formula some new drink of yours or...
Mallya: No sir, it's racing using specially designed cars in circuits...
Gill: Ah that! But we have already decided no? Then why are you here again, Dr Mallya. Please don't try to Force India.
Mallya: But F1 is a sport! Just like tennis or cricket.
Gill: Sorry to spoil your cheers. But I disagree. It is entertainment.
Mallya: And what about our home-brewed IPL? It's the biggest entertainment event in the country!
Gill: That is cricket baba. It is all about human endeavour and spirit. Not your kind of spirit Dr Mallya, but real, human spirit.
Mallya: But isn't that also entertainment?
Gill: See, we don't mind if sports has entertainment, but entertainment cannot be sports, and that is final. Stop mixing your drinks.
Mallya: *peeved* This is the time to act, minister. My team's performance has taken F1's popularity to a new high...
Gill: You're always talking of highs. I don't know why you are so interested in wasting Fuel. Is it because it's a competing brand? *laughs* Jokes apart, these are the nation's resources, for which two brothers are already fighting. We cannot have one more king fishing in our waters.
Mallya: F1 really is a sport! Look at how much weight these drivers lose after every race! Arjuna Ranatunga had a pot belly even till the end of his career.
Gill: I cannot comment on other country's sportsmen, Dr Mallya. And besides, do you think it's wise for you to talk about beer bellies? Anyway, you know that we are not exactly 'doctors' right? It's only titular.
Mallya: *dreamily* Aahhh titular... good times...
Gill: Snap out of it, Dr Mallya!
Mallya: Sorry about that sir, but all you need to do is recognize it as a sport, you can really help F1 in the country.
Gill: F1 may mean help, Dr Mallya, but helping F1 is going to be a Royal Challenge.
Mallya: Do you mean to say there is absolutely nothing *wink* we can do about it?
Gill: Dr, your black money and White Mischief are getting you nowhere. Stop wining. Our decision is final. Now please leave. I have to go make number 1. Mera number 1.
