2008 Goodguys Nashville Nationals - Tennessee TinWritten by on September 8, 2008 The Nashville Nats Draws The Coolest Rods And Customs...Again
It was great to be back in town for the Goodguys Nashville Nationals. When I attended this event in 2006, I didn't know what to expect. Neither did Goodguys and neither did any of the participants or spectators, since that was the first year for this particular show. I came home impressed and had been waiting a couple of years to return.
This year, I wondered if the quantity and quality of rods, customs, and classic trucks would be as great as I remembered. Of course, it was. The LP Field at Tennessee Titan Stadium was packed with more than 2,000 great cars-everything from big-name, pro-built rides to backyard-built, low-buck drivers-many of which had been finished just a few months, weeks, or even days before the show. Goodguys welcomes '72-and-earlier cars in Nashville, and there was musclecar-era iron in abundance.
Of course, R&C loves pre-'64 rods and customs the best, and these made up the majority of the show. Just like last time, I was blown away by the mountain of well-done traditionally styled early Fords. Period-influenced hot rods are not a California fad; they're hot all over the country. In addition to all the early Blue Oval rods, I ran into a lot of '55-57 Chevys in Nashville-some done in the nostalgic style like I'm used to, and many others modified into mild customs.
The swap meet packed people in at the far east end of the show, and adjacent to that, the Air Ride Technologies Street Challenge Autocross was running competitors through the cone course as fast as they could go. Only a handful of "true" hot rods or customs took a stab at the slalom run. The ones that did couldn't perform like the super-handling street machines that dominated all weekend, but they were more entertaining to watch. Despite the price of gas and diesel, vendors are still committed to being part of the Goodguys show season-at least it sure looked that way by all the aftermarket manufacturers showing off their goods.
Even the weather was impressive. The thunderstorms that were supposed to unload throughout the week only produced some intimidating clouds and a cool breeze that kept us from overcooking.
I'll shut up and let you get to the photos of the 3rd annual Goodguys Nashville Nats, starting with R&C's Top Tin picks.

We were impressed by this clean, traditional hot rod, even before we found out that the chopped '31 five-window on Deuce 'rails was 19-year-old Kirby Kennedy's high school creative project ("Everybody else learned to play the guitar"). Kirby stuffed the coupe with a 292ci Y-block with three 97s, a four-speed trans, and a Halibrand quick-change. The wire wheels are 18s and 16s. The bench seat is covered in hand-stitched cowhide.Lots of people (OK, me) mistook Joey Collins' chopped and slammed coupe for a Ford Model A before learning it's really a '30 American Austin. Jason Graham handbuilt this just-finished rod, which sports an Enderle-injected '56 Chrysler 354 Hemi. The Ansen rear wheels and front Americans are a great fit for the coupe, which was driven to the event.In addition to being one of our Top Tin picks in Nashville, Gordon Peters' '56 Chevy wagon, built by Neil Lea, was in the Great 8 at the Detroit Autorama and is now a Goodguys Custom Rod of the Year finalist. With a complete '02 Corvette LS1 drivetrain and more than 1,000 custom components, the wagon-once an old Handyman used as a fish and game department truck- has been taken to an elite level.It's tough to beat a homebuilt '32 highboy like Rusty and Nancy Canfield's 350-powered roadster. Rusty built the car while recovering from back surgery, setting the Rod Shop body on a Street Rods by Michael frame. We liked the Moon tank, drilled I-beam, American Racing Salt Flat Specials, gray-green pearl-mist paint (a Volvo color), and keeping it all simple.When you run a shop, it's tough to find time to build your personal cars, but Will Hudson from Hudsons Rod & Customs put his free time into finishing this low two-tone '50 Ford coupe. He kept the body and top stock, and covered the interior in black leather. The engine is a Ford 351 Windsor, tied to a C4 automatic transmission. We'll have a complete feature soon.Stroker McGurk was on hand, in paint at least, to remind everybody of the true definition of a hot rod. Bill Akin's '32 lowboy roadster-piloted to the show by Jim McPherson-drove home the point, with tube axle, dirt-track tires on mags, and a cartoon image of Tom Medley's Stroker behind the wheel of a similarly styled old-time rod.People were fooled by Van Tyler's '33, thinking it was a steel car. In reality, the body is from Rat's Glass. The top was ground for the roof insert, which contributes to the illusion. Same with the external door hinges (it's really hinged on the inside). The 502ci big-block and the Dayton wire wheels are absolutely the real thing. Bobby Alloway built the beautiful coupe.Ron Wilson kept the modifications mild on his '57 Ranchero, but added some cool elements, like the 385hp Roush 351 under the hood, homebuilt bracketry and emblems, a rigid exhaust system, and custom wood in the dash. Ron did all the work except for the interior. The 12-month project, nicknamed Rodchero, was completed just before heading to Nashville.A stroked 426 Hemi and 727 trans keeps Chrysler power in Chuck Williamson's '53 Dodge Meadowbrook Suburban wagon, rolling on an Art Morrison Air Spring Plus chassis with Air Ride suspension parts. One-piece flat glass replaced the split rear side window and the front side window. Allante buckskin and Sumatra ostrich skin covers Jeep Grand Cherokee seats.
Tim Turner loved looking at the straight-axle Chevy gassers in his car magazines when he was in third grade. All these years later, he built one. The '55 was a shell when he started. The 525hp 427 big-block with a four-speed is plenty powerful for street driving. It has Lexan side windows and the perfect look to hook a new generation on Chevy gassers.Walter Russell bought this '57 Chevy convertible from the original owner almost 24 years ago, and finished it a week before this event. It's original on the outside-including chrome and stainless pieces-with an LS1 and a six-speed on the inside. Paul Atkins covered the Lexus front seats in leather and '57 Chevy cloth. Other amenities include power brakes, steering, and windows, plus XM radio.Three twos feed the 327 on Shane Davis' '23 T roadster, riding on a split wishbone suspension with a suicide frontend. Take a close look and you'll see some pinstriping on the cowl and Deuce grille, as well as outlined flames running the length of the body.It didn't take a lot of mods to draw a crowd to Larry Hurst's monochrome '61 Rambler American convertible. Larry kept most of the mild custom modifications in the off-white-upholstered interior, and in the engine compartment where he dropped a Chevy 350 hooked to a TH350 automatic.This chopped and channeled '28 sedan with a shortened Deuce grille gets the prize for in-your-face impact, thanks to a stretched frame and crazy-tall blown 383 engine. Dick Stevens built the all-steel (and some lead) Model A with his son and grandsons. "Once we got started, it took on a life of its own," he said. The headlights are '34 Ford commercial lights, and a Cadillac hearse roof, facing rearward, was the perfect fit for the filled top.Bill Randle's '49 Ford club coupe sports two-tone burgundy and tan paint, broken up by modified '54 Buick side trim. The interior is done in burgundy and white. The engine is a 5.0L Cobra motor.Frenched headlights, spots, a chopped ragtop, a few more teeth in the grille opening, and the removal of some hardware and emblems give a little custom flavor to this '54 Chevy convertible, the property of Jim and Bonnie Gombos.After a tree had fallen on this body, Eddie Rochelle was able to buy it cheap. Jason Graham (see the American Austin) helped save the crushed '30 sedan, now powered by a Chevy W-engine with six Holley 94s, chopped 6 inches, channeled as low as it'll go, and finished in silver metallic.

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - While Peyton Manning's first season in Denver
came to a swift and bitter end, Ray Lewis' career will continue on for at
least one more week.
Justin Tucker knocked home a 47-yard field goal 1:42 into the second overtime
to give Lewis' Baltimore Ravens a dramatic 38-35 victory over Manning's
Broncos in an AFC Divisional Playoff from a frigid Sports Authority Field at
Mile High, with the kick capping a remarkable comeback that propelled the
Ravens into the conference title game for a second straight year.
Tucker's deciding field goal came four plays after Corey Graham intercepted
Manning in Denver territory for the second time of the game, while the Ravens
forced extra time on a thrilling 70-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco to
Jacoby Jones with just 31 seconds remaining in regulation.
Flacco also hooked up with Torrey Smith for a pair of touchdowns earlier on
while amassing 331 yards on 18-of-34 passing, with Ray Rice contributing 131
rushing yards and a touchdown on 30 carries to the improbable win.
The fourth-seeded Ravens will visit the winner of Sunday's clash between New
England and Houston in next weekend's AFC Championship. Baltimore advanced to
the Divisional Round with last week's 24-9 home decision over Indianapolis,
which came days after team leader Lewis announced he would be retiring at the
end of his 17th NFL season.
Manning, who entered the matchup having bested the Ravens nine consecutive
times -- including a pair of playoff bouts during his long and storied tenure
with the Colts -- also threw for three touchdowns while accumulating 290 yards
and completing 28-of-43 attempts along with the two picks.
Denver, which earned the AFC's No. 1 overall seed by winning its final 11
regular-season tests, suffered its first postseason loss at home since a 30-27
ousting by Jacksonville in a 1996 Divisional Playoff.

Melbourne, Australia (Sports Network) - Second-seeded Roger Federer and third-
seeded Andy Murray rolled in their Saturday matches at the Australian Open to
move into the fourth round.
Federer, who has lost in the semifinals the last two years, cruised by Bernard
Tomic, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 6-1. He trailed 4-5 in the second, but rallied to win
the set, then cruised through the third set.
The four-time champion won 88 percent of his first serves and was aided by 41
unforced errors by Tomic. He will face Milos Raonic in the fourth round.
Raonic ousted Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, 6-4.
Meanwhile, Murray is back into the fourth round of a Grand Slam, for the 19th
consecutive time to be exact. Murray was a 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 winner over qualifier
Ricardas Berankis.
The 25-year-old Scot and reigning U.S. Open Champion, Murray, has not lost a
set so far during the tournament.
Jeremy Chardy pulled off the first big shocker in Melbourne.
The Frenchman downed 2009 U.S. Open Champion and sixth-seeded Juan Del Potro
6-3, 6-3, 6-7 (7-3), 3-6, 6-3 in the third round.
"My tactic was very simple: I play slice with my backhand and I try to play
short slice because like this he has to come in the court. After, with my
forehand, I can go full power," Chardy said.
Chardy broke Del Potro's serve in the eighth game of the fifth set and then
held on before concluding the match with an ace.
"Well, the match was really tough. Jeremy play so strong during four hours.
He serves well. He made a lot of winners with the forehand, very good
slices," Del Potro said.
With Del Potro's loss, only three Grand Slam winners remain on the men's side
of the draw.
Chardy will square off against No. 21-seed Andreas Seppi, who was a 6-7 (7-2),
6-3, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 winner over 12th-seeded Marin Cilic.
Seventh-seeded Jo-Wilfreid Tsonga had a 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 triumph over Blaz
Kavcic, while No. 9 seeded Richard Gasquet defeated Ivan Dodig 4-6, 6-3, 7-6
(7-2), 6-0.

|I'm Just Cookin'
|Written by Darci Tomky
Pledge to celebrate National Girl Scout Cookie Day
Sisters Emali and Alicia Torres, a fourth-grader and kindergartner, brought us a little slice of heaven in the form of Do-si-Dos, Samoas, Savannah Smiles, Tagalongs, Thin Mints and Trefoils.
Now, despite how delicious these cookies are, we strictly purchased box after box just for the sake of these adorable little girls. Really, we did. OK, that might be stretching the truth a bit, but we are, in fact, helping them learn goal-setting, decision-making, money management, business ethics and people skills.
According to girlscouts.org, Girl Scouts first began baking and selling cookies as a way to finance troop activities as early as 1917, five years after the organization began in Oklahoma. In 1922, a Girl Scout magazine published a simple recipe for cookies that could be made at home and sold for 25 or 30 cents per dozen. The first commercial cookies were sold in the 1930s, starting out in the shape of the iconic trefoil. Fast-forward to 2013, and the cookie program is now the world's largest girl-led business, selling 200 million boxes each year!
In honor of National Girl Scout Cookie Day on Friday, Feb. 8, two of those boxes went to my latest culinary creations. A recipe from picky-palate.com uses the ever popular Thin Mint cookies as the inspiration for Thin Mint Cookie Cheesecake Cups. And the decadent Mini Peanut Butter Trifles feature the Tagalong cookie in a recipe from mybakingaddiction.com.
So if you have some leftover Girl Scout Cookies—that is, if you haven't inhaled them a sleeve at a time—then you should see how you can incorporate your favorite cookies into to-die-for desserts. If there's a badge for eating Girl Scout Cookies, we'll certainly earn it!

New York, NY (Sports Network) - In a contest between two playoff-bound teams with little to play for, Chris Copeland scored a career-high 33 points and the New York Knicks wrapped up their regular season with a 98-92 victory over the Atlanta Hawks at Madison Square Garden.
Already locked into the No. 2 seed in the East, the Knicks rested most of their starters, including 2013 scoring title champ Carmelo Anthony, and will carry a 10-game home winning streak into their first round showdown with the division rival Boston Celtics.
The Hawks, only able to move up with a win and a Chicago loss, chose to rest starters Al Horford, Josh Smith and Jeff Teague among others. Officially locked into the sixth seed, Atlanta will face third-seeded Indiana to kick off the postseason.
Earl Barron, signed off the street earlier Wednesday after Rasheed Wallace announced his retirement, tallied 11 points and a game-high 18 rebounds for the Knicks. James White added 20 points and Iman Shumpert finished with 18, eight assists and seven rebounds.
Mike Scott totaled 23 points and 14 rebounds and John Jenkins scored 20 in the setback for Atlanta.

I have posted several threads with problems but I don't have any answer on those. I summarize some of the very important ones :
1) Calendar not working. I create appointments but don't appear anywhere.
2) Address book other than gmail , cannot be created in other mail or local folders and can't be used. If I don't have a gmail account or not Zimbra Server, I cannot have addr.book in ZD to select my recipents when composing a message.
3) Contacts exported in csv file type, for Outlook formats cannot be imported in Outlook 2007. In fact the only exported csv file that works is from one ZD client to another.
4) Mail filtering doesn't work. Although a filter is created for a specific mailbox with a filter , it doesn't move the incoming mail automatically to the specified folder.
5) Couldn't find the usage of LinkedIn under Zimlets ..(??)
Can anybody please answer the above points here or in the corresponding threads already posted ?
Thank you very much.

I'm currently investigating using zimbra for multiple domains, while each one will be managed by an individual domain admin. One thing I would like to be able to do however, is create a limit that can only be set by the Global Admin for the maximum number of accounts that can be created in a given domain by a domain admin.
Is this currently possible? I can't find anything in the LDAP schema suggesting a maximum number of accounts per domain...

Predawn sighting stirs a mother's soul
(Page 2 of 2)
The two-inch hatchlings emerge in about 55 days. They crawl out of the nest at night and head toward the water, using the light reflected by the moon and stars. It takes several hours for them to get to the gulf (if they don't get picked off by birds or small animals), and they lose 20 percent of their body weight along the way.
All mothers know the enormous effort of the giant turtles. We have all made that dangerous swim and that steep climb. I feel the same spiritual kinship with other mothers in the animal world. Chimpanzees and elephants and dogs and pigs and thousands of other species — some appealing and adorable, and some creepy and crawly — display the same mothering behavior as humans.
When I see a baby monkey clinging to its mama's back, it seems sweet to me, and familiar. I remember that connection. I watched a National Geographic film some weeks ago that showed the mothering instincts of groups of female elephants that communally protect and nurture the babies in the herd. The drive to procreate, the need to feed and care for the young crosses species, mother to mother.
Perhaps there's some great, Platonic mother-feeling in the icloud. Perhaps there's a bit of universal DNA in all mothers' genes, whether we have two legs or four, whether we have wings or tails or teeth or scales.
Of course, human mothers cannot leave their babies on a nighttime beach to live or die, at the whim of time and tides and beady-eyed predators. Our connection is lifelong, with tides of responsibility surging and ebbing over the years.
My babies are grown up now, swimming far out to sea on their own. Their births were more than three decades ago. Still, last week something in the night quickened my heart when I saw the mama turtle, and I felt the wonder of it all again.

(Sports Network) - The Miami Heat took care of business on their recent road
trip and are back in the friendly confines of AmericanAirlines Arena, where
they will open a three-game homestand Sunday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Heat went 4-0 on the jaunt, which culminated with Saturday's 114-90
victory against the Philadelphia 76ers. Superstud LeBron James recorded a
triple-double of 16 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, including nine on the
defensive side.
"I think people recognize what we're doing," James added. "We're playing some
good ball right now. We came here to take care of business."
Sixers coach Doug Collins certainly noticed.
"That team is big-time good," Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said of the
Heat. "They're a great team. I don't see any weaknesses. They're poised to
make another run at another championship."
Dwyane Wade had a game-high 33 points on 14-of-18 shooting, while Mario
Chalmers and Chris Bosh scored 14 and 13 points, respectively, for the
Southeast Division-leading Heat, who have won a season high 10 straight games
and shot 58.4 percent (45-of-77) for the game. Miami is 24-2 this season when
shooting at least 50 percent from the field.
Miami, which won 12 in a row from Nov. 29-Dec. 18, 2010, can become the first
team in the Eastern Conference with 40 victories if it defeats the Cavaliers,
James' former team. Rumors have surfaced that someday James will return to the
Cavs to possibly play alongside Kyrie Irving.
Irving is coming off his first All-Star appearance and has become the face of
a Cleveland franchise that was searching for a player to take over when James
headed south to Miami. Irving had 12 points and nine assists in Saturday's
118-94 blowout of the Orlando Magic.
Marreese Speights led the team with 18 points and had eight boards, while
Alonzo Gee added 17 points and both Tyler Zeller and C.J. Miles scored 16
points in the opener of a three-game road trip for the Cavaliers, who have won
two in a row since a three-game slide.
"We're just trying to win as many games as possible," said Irving. "In order
to do that, we just have to find consistency on this team and it starts with
this road trip ... It is a challenge for us as a team and we are looking
forward to it."
The Cavs are 8-21 away from Quicken Loans Arena and will wrap up the trek
Tuesday at Chicago. Cleveland was without forward Omri Casspi (abdominal) and
guard Daniel Gibson (personal) on Saturday. Casspi is doubtful and Gibson, who
didn't travel to the Magic, is expected to miss Sunday's game.
Cleveland was handed a 110-108 road loss by the Heat on Nov. 24 and has
dropped four straight and seven of the past eight meetings. The Cavs are also
winless in the last five trips to South Beach.
The Heat have won eight in a row at home and own a 23-3 mark as the host.

Monday Night Raw edited
Some rather interesting news are coming out of the latest episode of Monday Night Raw. Since it was taped in London, there was a delay in the airing in the United States. WWE took that opportunity to edit up some things to their favor. They made sure to tone down the huge reaction that Antonio Cesaro received from the fans. They used that pop and made it seem like it was Randy Orton that the audience was going wild for.
April 14, 2015
Wade Barrett baby face
In case you missed the segment on Monday Night Raw, Wade Barrett not only made his return to WWE, but he also did a face turn, as had been rumored earlier in the month. Bad News was given a victory over Antonio Cesaro, who was playing the role of complaining heel last night. Barrett will reportedly be pushed as a mid card face for the next couple of months before management determines if he is over enough to be put into the main event scene.

Affordable Crib Mattresses and Pads
You've selected the perfect crib to match the perfect décor in your perfect new baby's room. Now it's time to select a crib mattress. Sam's Club carries multiple crib mattresses, all at low, affordable prices from brands you trust.
Crib Mattresses
There are many things to consider when selecting crib mattresses. First, it is necessary to pick out the right size. Luckily, most cribs and even toddler beds have a standard size that fits most crib mattresses. As long as you don't have a custom-made crib or one of an unusual size or shape, a standard crib mattress should fit.
In terms of softness, infants and toddlers have different needs. Sam's Club carries a crib mattress that has one firm side to provide support to infants and one cushy side to give a little more comfort for toddlers. If you are trying to create an organic atmosphere in your baby's room, you can also select organic or biodegradable mattresses that have breathable bamboo covers to prevent overheating.
Crib Mattress Pads
No matter which mattress you choose, it's a good idea to cover it with a mattress pad. First, a pad offers extra layers of padding for comfort, but most importantly it is waterproof. Protect your baby's mattress from leaky diapers, spilled bottles and more with a durable pad. Most pads are 100% lead, PVC and phthalate free for your baby's health and safety.
Sam's Club has crib mattresses and pads at low, affordable prices. Save money on everything you need for your baby by making one, easy trip to your local Sam's Club or by shopping online at SamsClub.com.

Odd Ball: Weird NYC Sports
by Jonathan Zeller, 01/02/2013
(From left) Trophy photo courtesy Brewskee-Ball • Empire State Building Run Up photo courtesy New York Road Runners
"Weird" is in the eye of the beholder, especially when it comes to sports. For example: most Americans take for granted that basketball is a "normal" game, but there's not necessarily anything intuitive about two groups of five very tall gentlemen or ladies striving to pass a leather ball through a cylinder 10 feet off the ground, or that they have to bounce said ball every time they move with it. So we're not disparaging any of the following competitions—showcases for the best bull riders, eaters, yoga practitioners, dreidel spinners and the like—by calling them "weird." The fact remains, though, that they're not exactly on par with the NFL or Major League Baseball as far as popularity goes (though some of these events' proponents may feel that won't be the case forever). Read on for details.

I don't know why this doesn't seem possible. In fact, I've never seen an email client, even the most base, where you couldn't do a 'select all' on a folder, and then delete.
Am I missing something here? Is there no way to do a select all, or a select all on a search, and then do something with the contents?
Essentially, I want to delete all messages from a single mailbox that are before a certain date. Why is this hard?

I have a 4 1/2 inch Towa dating to sometime in the 70's that I paid $25 for plus the so-so mount. It has a very nicely ground parabolic mirror and throws up great images of the moon and planets. I plan on remounting its clamshell on my MIZAR mount from a vintage Meade 6600. Combined it should be a great combo.
Posted 22 September 2012 - 10:43 AM
I have a Meade 114NT that they sold on their
outlet website for like $50. One day it will
be a mini-dob.
Posted 23 September 2012 - 06:48 AM
I have mine on a alt/az pipe mount (on top of a portable wood "pier") with a tiny digital level & an azimuth circle. Love it.

The Bushnell is still up in the loft...I'll set it up again someday.
The eyepieces were truly awful. ...when trying to find M51, it simply wasn't visible with the supplied eyepieces...I then inserted a borrowed Meade 26mm super Plossl, and the galaxy became visible.
I ditched the eyepieces and never looked back.
Posted 24 September 2012 - 09:49 AM
Posted 24 September 2012 - 10:45 AM
Wow, I can't wait to see them side by side myself.
Posted 24 September 2012 - 04:34 PM
I still have and use this good little telescope - thanks for writing such a constructive article.

Quite often they are almost unuseable. You could get bargain bucket plossls to make the views decent but how many people are going to do that at this price point.
Posted 29 September 2012 - 12:31 PM
Posted 29 September 2012 - 06:05 PM
this was fun - he enjoys the scope and the sky much more now.
You said it all well in your article. Thanks!

Posted 03 October 2012 - 10:30 PM
My imagination ran on overtime with curiosity of what could be seen through a telescope that big.
Of course once I had one, and I realized that trying to look through the pea shooter finder when it was pointed at the zenith was a neck breaker,
and trying to see anything but the brightest stars and the Moon through it was an exercise in frustration.
The mount would wobble at the slightest breeze, and the Huygens and Ramsden .965 eyepieces did not show Saturn at 600X quite like it was pictured on the box.
But I loved it anyway, as it was my first "serious" telescope
Nicely written article.
Posted 06 October 2012 - 01:26 PM
You haven't seen anything until you've looked through one of these that have been refurbished!
Of course, getting some good 1.25" Plossls and a Barlow adds icing to the cake.
Posted 25 October 2012 - 12:14 PM
Based on the comments above (focuser, EPs quality), can the focuser be replaced with a crayford (?), and is that a simple 'bolt-on' job? Would the total cost be worthwile as opposed to buying a new scope in the $250 range?
Posted 25 October 2012 - 05:15 PM
gotta run now, hope there will be more responses for you, soon. I'll check again later, offer more comments and suggestions, if it seems appropriate.

Posted 29 October 2012 - 07:27 PM
if I may, I have the same feeling about eyepieces. There are eyepieces that cost as much as an entire telescope, and I don't doubt they're worth every penny. There are also considerably more affordable eyepieces that deliver marvelous performance per dollar. A little blurry at the edge of the field, maybe? Don't look there then, as you enjoy the surprisingly fine performance you bought for, say, 70 bucks instead of several hundred bucks. Puts me in mind of a couple of 50-year-old Criterion "acromatic Ramdsens" I have. Rather narrow field? Yup. But startlingly crisp images and no sign of mold, etc. I am grateful to them for what they've brought into my life, and so it is with these low-price scopes you discuss. You've done a fine service with this article.

Hi all. Despite being a somewhat non-expert user I've managed to install ZCS (open source) on Debian Lenny on a dedicated server at home (server.example.com). Hurrah! I can use another machine's browser to log in the administration console. All seems to be good...
What I'm really looking for is a way to replace my current email client, Mozilla Thunderbird. I'm currently using this to retrieve/send email from a number of accounts (ie, email@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com). I want to be able to do this in a browser rather than using an email client like Thunderbird, as I use my machine to dual-boot Linux and Windows 7 and need access to email/calendar/contacts at all times, regardless of what OS (or other machine) I'm using. Also to share my central contact and calendar with my better half.
Is it possible to achieve this using ZCS? I've spent a lot of time searching so far but to no avail. If someone can please point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.
I understand this could be achieved with Zimbra Desktop but that wouldn't really be suitable for my roaming needs.

Living Healthy With Diabetes
Could You Have Type 2? 10 Diabetes Symptoms
Diabetes symptoms
by Amanda Gardner
Diabetes affects 24 million people in the U.S., but only 18 million know they have it. About 90% of those people have type 2 diabetes.
In diabetes, rising blood sugar acts like a poison.
Diabetes is often called the silent killer because of its easy-to-miss symptoms. "Almost every day people come into my office with diabetes who don't know it," says Maria Collazo-Clavell, MD, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The best way to pick up on it is to have a blood sugar test. But if you have these symptoms, see your doctor.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Shorts in stock than that.View Similar Products
Castelli Vizio Due Women's Shorts $0.00
Women's bodies are different from men's, so women-specific cycling clothing should be different, too. Although that seems self-evident, it seldom happens; however, the Castelli Vizio Due Women's Shorts have been designed with the specific needs of women in mind.
The Action micro fiber that Castelli uses must be considered one of the wonder fabrics of the world. Soft and stretchy, it is a Power Lycra that keeps you properly compressed without squeezing too tight. What makes this such a perfect fabric for cycling shorts, however, is the fact that in spite of its soft smoothness, it is incredibly durable and abrasion-resistant. You won't have to worry about overheating on hot days because the back quarter panels have been made from the Breath microfiber which has an open weave design that allows significant airflow. The partial Giro3 gripper at the leg hems will work to keep shorts in place on your leg. But the folks at Castelli have thoughtfully kept the leg opening from being so snug so as to create the dreaded "sausage effect." The four-needle flat-lock stitching is also a big reason why you'll find these shorts so comfortable, as is the plissé insert at the waist that makes it pliant and comfortable even when you are hunkered down in the drops.
Where you will really be thankful that Castelli has taken such trouble to make these the best shorts possible is in the insert they've used. The Kiss3 Donna-Specific Seat Pad is as comfortable and advanced as Castelli's top-of-the-line Progetto X2, but costs less. It made the seamless skin care layer from a super soft brushed microfiber to maximize the luxurious comfort and perfect fit. Since it is seamless, there will be no worries about unwanted chafing along boundary lines, while the flexibility of the material will help the pad move with you. It has also been given a bacteriostatic treatment to avoid saddle sores and infections. The interior of the insert has been designed to provide the ultimate in intelligent cushioning so that the maximum padding is in the ischial zone, tapering to a moderate thickness in the perineum and then narrowing still further at the perimeter of the pad.
The Castelli Vizio Due Women's Shorts will quickly become an essential part of every serious cyclist's wardrobe. They are available in Anthracite and come in sizes X-Small through X-Large.

COLUMBUS -- Ohioans can again expect to see lower prices at the gas pump compared with last week.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas in the state was $3.33 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That's 7 cents lower than a week ago.
A month ago Ohioans were paying an average of $3.79. They're paying close to the same price per gallon as this time last year, when the average was $3.35.
The national average Monday was $3.55, down 13 cents from a week ago.

Aghdashloo was born Pari Vaziri-Tabar on May 11, 1952, and raised in a wealthy family in Tehran, Iran. She began her career with numerous stage roles from the time she was 20. In her screen debut, "Gozaresh" ("The Report," 1977), from acclaimed director Abbass Kiarostami, Aghdashloo played the suicidal wife of a dishonest tax collector. The film won the Critics Award at the Moscow Film Festival, though it was ultimately banned in her native country. Aghdashloo's next film, "Shatranje Bad" (loosely translated as "Chess With the Wind," 1977), was screened at several international festivals across the globe, but also became a victim of Iran's strict censorship laws.

very easy to make and very tasty
I thought this recipe was very good and I will make this again. I did do some things differently. First off, I used rotisserie chicken from the grocery store that was already cooked, I used Betty Crocker homestyle stuffing (turkey), Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup Healthy Request, Lactaid skim milk, Kraft 2% milk sharp cheddar cheese that I shredded myself. In addition, I added some diced yellow onion that I did not precook and some frozen peas. After I thawed the broccoli and peas in the microwave, I added a little butter and salt to them and then added to the chicken and added the rest of ingredients. I also made a smaller portion of this so I sprayed Pam in a 3 inch deep by 22 inch round casserole dish. I only had to cook this for about 20-25 minutes when it became bubbly. It smelled so good while it was baking and it tasted very good! I will definitely make this again.
My family loves this recipe.

1949 Chevrolet Gauge Cluster - Dashing Good LooksWritten by on February 1, 2011 Solving The '49 Chevy's Unique Gauge Size Problem
I always liked the appearance of the stock gauge cluster in the Purple Pig, but the speedometer stopped working a while before I quit driving the car, the chrome on the surround was rusty, and the numerals were worn out. In short, it would have needed a total restoration and recalibration. The idea of a modern but retro-looking electric gauge was appealing, but the '49 Chevy has a unique gauge size; at 7 1/4 inches in diameter, and coupled with its recessed surround, sourcing a replacement that suited the theme of the car (Dakota Digital offers a digital gauge for these models) was proving next to impossible.
Then I discovered the 5 in 1 Cluster Gauge by Haneline USA, and more importantly, the adapter ring they offer to fit a '49 Chevy. These gauges are available in white and black, but when I found they also come in cream, I was sold. The gauge is all-electric, meaning there's no speedometer cable to worry about, and comes with a harness and connector to enable easy hook up to an existing wiring harness. Having no cable means a pulse signal generator is required, but Haneline supplied one for our GM transmission, which will also work withmost Chryslers and even early Ford torque tube speedometer drives, as it is equipped with a 7/8-18 inch thread. GM computer-controlled transmissions require a signal translator, so speak to Haneline about your requirements if you're using a late 700-R4, 4L60E, or 4L80E. Ford owners will require a different hard-coupler, as well as a different pulse generator, also available from Haneline. It should be noted that if you use a pulse signal generator from another manufacturer, ensure it is an 8,000 pulse per mile unit or the speedometer won't work.
The water temperature and oil pressure senders are simple to fit and hook up, though the fuel tank sender has to be set up correctly, as the gauge uses a 240-33-ohm sender (supplied). Your tank may already have the correct sender, though my Aeromotive tank was supplied with a 0-90-ohm sender, which I had to replace.
The whole job was easily completed in a day, though I had to paint my dash before I could fit the gauge, as it's held in by the retaining bolts on the chrome dash trim. Once installed, the speedometer requires calibrating, though the comprehensive instructions explain how to do this. However, this needs to be done once the car is driveable, so that will have to wait a little while longer. Soon though, soon ...

Shown alongside the original gauge, which also contained the four ancillary gauges, you can see why the 5 in 1 was so appealing, as it meant I wouldn't have to cut holes or add brackets to mount any other gauges in the dashboard, or below it. Given the Chevy's 7 1/4-inch dash aperture, sourcing a suitable gauge (other than digital) was proving difficult, until I discovered Haneline's adapter ring.The stock gauge was held in place using the retaining bolts at the ends of the chrome dash trim, and the Haneline adapter ring is supplied with brackets to use these same bolts. Every dash will be slightly different; I had to flatten mine slightly in order to hold the ring firmly in place.With the ring in place-and the upper and lower dash painted-the gauge is simply pushed in from the front. It's a tight fit, with the gauge bezel mounting flush with the surface of the adapter in a machined recess.The main bundle of wires exiting the housing is for the various gauge senders, turn signal indicators, and high-beam warning light, while a separate group leads to this trip switch, which I'll mount out of sight under the lower lip of the dashboard.The knurled nuts are designed to be finger-tightened, so as not to crush the back of the gauge housing.Once seated, the gauge is held in place using a pair of knurled nuts and L-shaped brackets, which push against the adapter. Though deep, the gauge clears the stock wiper mechanism.Remove the rectangular plastic cover on the rear of the gauge housing and you'll find these adjustment switches used to calibrate the speedometer. They're set here in the factory starting calibration positions, then using the instructions and calibration table supplied, they are set to calibrate the speedometer depending on variables, such as the vehicle's tire and rim size and rearend gearing.The Haneline gauge is all electric, meaning the speedometer has no cable, but uses a pulse signal generator. The unit provided attaches on GM transmissions, such as the Powerglide, TH350, 400, early 700-R4, and 200-R4, directly to the speedometer drive housing at the rear of the transmission casing, and should be wired as per the instructions. The speedometer drive housing is shown here (arrow). The original cable would exit the yellow plastic part.Of course nothing's ever straightforward when building a car, and I had to notch my transmission crossmember in order to clear the pulse signal generator. As the crossmember mounts to the frame in four places, and the trans bolts to it below this point, I didn't remove any serious structural metal from the section that loops over the tailshaft. If it were elsewhere, I'd have inserted a full tube instead of a recess to retain strength.
After checking with Haneline that I had the correct generator, a call to Gearstar, which provided my transmission, revealed that I have a late 200-4R that has a housing with a protuberance on the "outside" of the thread, and I needed an earlier version, with a "flat" end (in foreground). Problem solved.Thanks to Zack Farah at Gearstar and his company's prompt service, a couple days later I was able to hook up the pulse signal generator to the correct drive housing, and complete the installation.Here's where I hit a snag, and the more research I did, the more confused I became. Though they don't look it, as the pulse signal generator on the left is closer to the camera than the speedometer drive housing on the right, the threads are both 7/8-18 inch, and the "cable" that operates the generator is 0.104 inch, the correct size for a GM drive, but I couldn't thread them together as the threads on the generator weren't deep enough to even get started on the drive housing.Haneline supplied this oil pressure sender, which was mounted under the distributor using the 45-degree adaptor in the kit. I have yet to hook up the wires to any of the senders. It should be noted that if your engine has a computer management system, the stock sender should be retained to maintain correct sender calibration signals.A water temperature sender was also supplied, and mounted in the intake manifold next to the thermostat housing. Again, if an engine management system is used, the stock sender should be retained, and the Haneline sender located in an alternate position, such as between the center cylinder on later GM heads, where there's a removable plug.With the new sender assembly adjusted to its shortest setting, I installed the float arm. Here I'm pointing to the tabs on the bracket that limit the arm's travel, denoting its upper and lower limits.The Haneline instructions provide detailed notes on setting up the sender for specific tank depths, with measurements for the length of the adjustable assembly and length of the float arm, but seeing as the Aeromotive sender was already set up, I merely copied that one. Here I'm determining the upper (full) and lower (empty) limits of the float arm and marking them on cardboard.Though my Aeromotive fuel tank came with a fuel gauge sender already installed, it was a 0-90-ohm sender (the black version in the foreground) and the Haneline gauge requires a 240-33-ohm sender. Luckily, the mounting holes matched on both, so I "just" had to swap them out.
Using a new rubber gasket (supplied) the sender was inserted into the top of the tank. Before I started, I ensured the float arm could move freely in the position determined by the asymmetrical mounting holes, though the assembly can be rotated on the top plate. The float arm faces the rear of the car, placing the float in the center of the tank.

Guard Connor Kayton's "trey" and free throw off an alleged jump-step move brought the Broncos toward a photo finish with the Plainsmen at 45-42 with 56 seconds left. Wauneta-Palisade shot 3-of-6 from the line down the stretch, however, allowing Hite to win a game for the Plainsmen with free throws for the second night in a row. The Plainsmen have constructed a three-game winning streak and have won six of their last eight games. Senior guards Hite and Jake Sexson fired off back-to-back three pointers to open the fourth quarter and distance Perkins County from the Broncos, 41-33. Hite and fellow senior guard Elliot Carlson also went back-to-back in the third quarter, erasing Wauneta-Palisade's only lead of the second half (29-27) and surging the Plainsmen ahead 33-29. The teams combined to sink seven three-point shots in the second half. The Plainsmen used long-range strike capability to hold off Broncos junior forward Hayden Pollman's six third quarter points. Hite and Carlson (eight points) reaching from beyond the arc offset two transition baskets and a jumper from the 6-foot-2 Pollman. Athletic swing forward Logan Bischoff glided to the goal for eight first-half points. The Plainsmen defense forced him to settle for foul shots in the second half, and he and Pollman both finished with 12 points apiece. Hite's jumper from 14 feet had Perkins County galloping away at 20-13; he finished off his own steal to send the home team to halftime leading 22-17.Bischoff kept Wauneta-Palisade competitive in the second quarter, scoring on a steal and after contact. Long range strikes from Sexson and Carlson enabled Perkins County to finish the first quarter on a 16-2 roll. The Plainsmen penetrated right to the basket for five-consecutive field goals in a 13-0 first quarter run. Alex Johnston (eight points) bowled up close for a pair, finishing off a steal from Hite. The Broncos raced out of the gate to a 7-0 lead on a double-pivot move from Bischoff and a "three" from Pollman.Next Action The 7-7 Plainsmen began the South Platte Valley Association conference tournament with a 54-42 win over 0-13 Sutherland (coverage to follow next issue).

Assessing the role of Eph/ephrin signaling in hESC growth and differentiation
An important aspect of understanding stem cell biology is to have a basic understanding of the processes that balance stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Stem cell proliferation and differentiation signals are at least partially regulated by direct contact between cells. For example, stem cells normally reside in a specific microenvironment, or "niche", that integrates specific cell-cell contacts in order to translate information from the environment into proliferation patterns. In this SEED proposal we plan to investigate the role of Eph/ephrin signaling in hESC growth and differentiation. Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and their ligands, ephrins, are large gene families that initiate signal transduction pathways which lead to changes in cellular adhesion, proliferation, and migration. Both Ephs and ephrins are expressed on the surfaces of cells, thus restricting their interactions to sites of direct cell-cell contact. It is known that Ephs and ephrins are expressed in hESCs and are therefore in the right place to be involved in regulating hESC proliferation and differentiation decisions. To better understand how Ephs and ephrins might be involved in hESC growth regulation, we plan to characterize the expression of Ephs and ephrins in hESCs during different stages of growth and neural differentiation to determine if Eph/ephrin signaling is used to regulate proliferation and differentiation of hESCs. The characterization of the role that Ephs and ephrins play in hESCs will provide insights into how stem cell proliferation is regulated in culture and will likely be applicable to how stem cell niches are organized in vivo. This understanding may allow for the development of standard culture conditions that will optimize both self-renewal and homogeneity of cells. This will in turn lead to more efficient large-scale production of stem cell populations and also methods for maintaining a self-renewing state in culture. Conversely, in a therapeutic setting, even a small number of undifferentiated cells could result in tumor formation; therefore, we also need to understand how to prevent self-renewal of stem cells.
This proposed research will benefit the State of California and it citizens by addressing the molecular signals that are involved in triggering human embryonic stems cells to divide, die, or differentiate into neurons. Human embryonic stem cells have great potential to be used in cell replacement therapies once their growth and differentiation programs are understood. Our work studying the role of a major class of signaling molecules, Ephs and ephrins, is likely to shed light on how these signals are generated and responded to in culture. Understanding how this process is regulated at the molecular level may allow for the development of standard culture conditions that will optimize both self-renewal and homogeneity of cells; which in turn can lead to the large-scale production of stem cell populations and methods for maintaining a self-renewing state by reversible blocking of hESCs. It is also important to make sure that upon differentiation, no stem cells are left behind, because they may be able to give rise to tumors when put into the body.
The goal of our research is to understand the role of Eph/ephrin signaling in the proliferation or differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Ephs and ephrins are cell contact dependent signaling molecules and have been shown to be important for stem cell differentiation decisions during the development of many structures in the mouse, including the brain, pancreas, and intestine. Our hypothesis is that these molecules will also be used in many differentiation decisions in the human. Additionally, because these proteins are on the cell's surface they can be used to purifiy specific cell types. In the last year we have differentiated hESC into neurons, as assessed by morphological characterization and expression of marker proteins. We have found that multiple members of the Eph/ephrin signaling family change expression patterns during neuronal differentiation. We have made polyclonal antibodies against one of these, and found that it is expressed in subsets of hESCs. Our hypothesis is that this protein is important for cell-cell contact dependent signaling within a stem cell colony that is used to keep cells in the stem fate. We are currently testing this hypothesis by treating hESCs with agonists of ephrin signaling and assaying for changes in differentiation.
In the past year we have made important progress towards understanding the role of the Ephs and ephrins classes of signaling molecules in the regulation of hESC growth and differentiation by creating novel tools to detect their expression. These families are large and often multiple members are expressed together during the development of many tissues in the developing mouse. We have determined that many of the 22 members of this large gene family are expressed in human embryonic stem cells hESCs and found that some change their expression upon differentiation of hESCs into human neurons. This leads to the idea that there will be an Eph/ephrin code that can be used to sort and purify specific cell types. We have made several anti-human Eph and ephrin antibodies that recognize the human protein. We have used these antibodies to localize the protein in human stem cells and their differentiated counterparts and determine which types of cells they are expressed in using co-localization with marker proteins. These antibodies will allow us to further probe the function of these proteins. We have perturbed Eph and ephrin function in hESCs using agonists and not detected any difference in cell behavior upon differentiation.

I'm sure almost all training systems work if you put effort and thinking in them. But it's not just the little pond I'm in. The last couple of years there hasn't been lifters in the IPF World Champs from Finland who'd use westside. Also, Bullfarm has been running for a little over 10 years and they have produced only 1 National team IPF lifter and they use westside.
Last edited by Ripe1; 11-13-2012 at 10:31 PM.
Just because there is little data to support the notion that Westside would not work for IPF lifters does not mean that is a valid point.
For instance, many IPF national contingents have a national coach who designs the training template for their lifters. Many even train out of the same gym and have basic equipment so their training methods are simple and proven. They're hesitant to change the programming that works, yet WS principles will creep into their programs due to the nature of the gear being more extreme (ie. rotating board work).
Also, the nature of IPF judging is a huge issue. Watch the recent IPF Senior Worlds. An overwhemingly majority of the lifters train using volume-loading schemes (70-85% intensities waved) and come third attempts, they either smoke the lift or they fail epicly. The reason is twofold:
1) Minimal Max Effort training reduces the ability of the lifter to strain using maximal or supramaximal weights.
2) The depth and competition is so deep that you need to go 8/9 to really have a shot at winning. Consistency, with the strictness of judging, means that max lifting is almost non-existent on the Worlds platform. In ME training, often your technique goes out the window to hit a PR and in the IPF World meets, they red-light lifts for any inconsistency. Technique is paramount so that's why a bulk of the work is done 70-85% with the competition lifts, which is a scheme you don't see very often in a pure WS program where you're rotating core lifts for ME and doing the competition lifts/variants in the 50-70% range.
This, besides the point of tapering off drugs, is why most IPF lifters don't PR much on the World level (and also travel/being unfamiliar to another country, etc). This is exactly the reason I posted to Chris. You need to meet the demands of the competition with your training and so to really make conjugate optimal for a World level IPF lifter, the routine would look a bit different than a pure Westside program.
Trample the weak, hurdle the dead
Satisfaction is the Death of Desire...
As for Hoff, we can't really say because he started with Louie as a teen.
To give a small example, I handled a lifter that placed 9th at USAPL Collegiate Nationals (one of the deepest and strictest meets) in the country going 7/9, 272.5kg/182.5/240. After visiting Westside and structuring a conjugate program for his needs, he placed 2nd at his class the following year going 307.5/215/252.5 with a 6/9 performance that was nowhere near his potential for that meet day (travel/gear issues/etc).
Point - He got stronger at maximal lifting and in his gear yet was less technically proficient and missing attempts. He customized his routine to meet the demands of his application despite part time work/full course load/preparing for job search and a gym that's not exactly PLer friendly.
I think it would be a fun experiment for Louie to take in a Class 1 USAPL lifter and see if given a few years and the same type of gear, he/she could win nationals and place top 3 at IPF Senior Worlds.

Like chris, I'm going to have to disagree there. You can't put it quite that simply. It'd be the same as me saying that if your logic were true, there'd be a lot more guys outside of Westside hitting 2800 and 2900. Aj would wholeheartedly agree that he'd not have hit the numbers he did without Louie or Westside.
Shane Hammock has added several hundred lbs to his total and will add quite a few more. Jake Anderson is a good example as well.
My best bench raw before going there was 385 and equipped was 470. Although I've been there quite some time, it's 575 raw now and 835 equipped. There is NO way I'd have been able to continually make those gains over that long period of time without Louie or the Westside program.

Great contributions, guys.
I agree with B&T analysis of IPF style of lifting requiring a very high technical consistency not to get red lighted.
But there are a lot of uber-strong mofos using WS/conjugate, and it would be great to see them go against the IPF top dogs.
I also think that, with a bit of re-designing, a WS style template could be very successfully used in the IPF realm: you narrow down the variations, pound away at the core lifts and maybe don't go nuts all the time on ME days, and here you have your WS IPF program.
Here in Italy, we have a couple of teams that produced some great lifters this way (Silvio Crisafi - 290 bench @ 110 in a full meet, and Antonietta Orsini, World Games 2nd place and IPF HoF, come to mind)
An Hoff-Barkhatov challenge would be Epic.

The biggest ones I tend to run into is people not knowing how to run a complete ME or DE workout. Normally just flat out not enough work. Especially in the bench and squat workouts. Guys make too big of jumps and hit their max too quickly and then don't follow it up with enough work on either down sets with heavy weight or appropriate accessory work.
There are countless other things I run into but largely they begin from people who just don't want to work hard enough, yet want to claim they train Westside.

"The weak will never understand" - Vincent Dizenzo
I'm specifically talking about one application, a world meet with the deepest competition and strictest judging. Single is a different game than multi since the potential carryover is far less (despite single improving drastically in recent years). Unless the lifter is a pure freak and has a significant advantage like the Russian 59 kg winner, IPF World Champs need to hit 7/9 or better almost every time. Their attempt selection and training revolves around this. They have developed systems of volume loading with the main lifts and little variation to ensure not one nitpick will be made available to the IPF judges to redlight. Again, you don't see much maximal lifting on this platform and very often, not many WRs are made either (lifters often total far more out of World platform competition). It's also why you don't see many of these lifters getting ridiculous carryover. Many of them in fact also lifted at the IPF Raw World Cup or whatever it's called this year. They're just very strong raw, don't change anything about their technique once in gear, and just train for the win. It's laughable how much better multi guys are at getting the most of their gear which is a credit to them and being the best at their game. For example, these are the good attempts for each of the IPF Worlds winners and how they performed near their 2nd place competition. If you look at the results, several classes had the top 5-6 lifters within 20 kg of each other and 1 attempt can be the difference between gold and 5th place.
59 kg - 7/9 (won by 70 kg but WR total - 2nd went 6/9)
66 kg - 8/9 (won 52 kg but WR total - 2nd went 5/9)
74 kg - 9/9 (won by 16 kg - 2nd went 5/9)
83 kg - 8/9 (won by 10 kg - 2nd went 7/9)
93 kg - 6/9 (won by 15 kg - 2nd went 6/9)
105 kg - 7/9 (won by BW - tied 2nd went 7/9
120 kg - 7/9 (won by 2.5 kg - 2nd went 8/9)
120+ - 7/9 (won by 2.5 kg - 2nd went 8/9)

Ok, how about this, let's see these IPF studs man-up and do a multi-ply meet with less stringent judging. Let's see how they do. Everything else is conjecture. On the flip side, a lot of Westside practitioners or Westside principle using lifters have competed raw and done well (even set records).
One example would be Belyaev. Did a WPC meet multiply (hit the 13th highest total ever at the time) but failed to set the world on fire like many thought since he set both raw and single ply WRs. It would take a lot of time to learn the gear but again, unless he was using a conjugate system I don't think he would have reached his potential in that avenue. Wade Hooper also lifted in the WPO. Kutcher was a monster too although I'm not entirely clear on his training methods early in his IPF career. You take a guy like Malanchiev who has squatted 992 raw and his single ply best was not even a 100 lbs over that. So noone knows how much he would get or if he would ever outbest Thompson in multiply using his system of training.
All three variations of the sport are different as drag racing, NASCAR racing, and formula one are all different. Some have an easier time transitioning from one to the other (and I believe conjugate is best for doing so). Again I realize not many here care about the IPF Worlds, but it'd be a cool experiment to see Louie put someone through to the top as his system has been proven across raw and multiply time and time again. Again it all goes with my point that you have to meet the demands of the application that you intend. Conjugate is very flexible with this as opposed to other systems.

B and T, Dave has done that twice in his entire life. He doesn't have a "tendency" really.
I understand what you were trying to say, but I still disagree. I just don't think you can group everyone who trains Westside and doesn't train under our gym and say that they go 5/9. That's a SUPER general statement, but still doesn't prove anything about the Westside method.
What you are pointing at has much more to do with attempt selection than strength itself. There are FAR too many variables that play into that to make an accurate and educated assessment of Westside compared to Russian training. It'd be a waste of time.

All arguments/conjecture aside, I totalled 1493 raw in Dec of 2009 and started running Westside in Feb of 2010. I totalled 1922 raw just over 2 years later (March 2012) adding well over 400 pounds to my total in said period! In "MY" personal experience Conjugate works!

I might run another cycle of Westside. I got my front squat from 127kg to 162kg in 3 weeks.
How much weight should I add each ME day?
Best lifts: 245kg deadlift, 162kg Front Squat, 145kg bench, 105kg log press, 250kg yoke carry, 115kg farmers, No. 2.5 Captains of crush
That's just an observation and I agree there are many many variables at play. It's a great topic though.

I think multi ply lifting is less consistent overall. The more carry over from gear the more variables that can impact performance. There's not much margin to go from 300 lbs of squat gear carryover to 250 lbs. The same goes for bench press.
Become a fan of Wild Iron on Facebook:
Rhodes, to answer your first question..please correct me if you disagree with what I'm writing here. I don't think this question has has been answered yet, or if it was I missed it. One week WILL NOT fix a weakness, there is more to it than that. The key component with determining the Max Effort exercise rotation is the level of the lifter. From how I understand the training method, only the most advanced lifters are changing ME movements every week, and even then, they may or may not do that. If you read Lou's writings in PLUSA or the Book of Methods or the Squat/Deadlift manual they all three say to not keep a max effort exercise more than 21 days. That mythical 21 day point is the point of accomodation and is also associated with the natural circadian rhythms of humans (basically these revolve around a 21 day hormonal, physiological, and psychological cycle, although it isn't exactly 21 days, that is the average point).
I think a lot of people watch Westside training videos or they catch snippits and they don't keep on a 3 week rotation, they like the variety and immediately go to the never ending exercise rotation and then ultimately don't fix the weak point. I think its much better for a beginning lifter to start out on a 3 week rotation, then stick to that until they find that on that 3rd week they can't break a PR for that exercise. I've seen guys in my gym set a PR on week 1, set a 20 lb PR on week 2, and then set another 20 lb PR on week 3. On the 4th week, they always fall apart. Why? In my mind because their body has accomodated and the have overextended their ability.
When a lifter starts setting a PR on week 1, then another on week 2, then on week 3, they fall apart, they have progressed to the point where they need to be changing exercises every 2 weeks. There will be a point where they set a PR on week 1, but on week 2, can't even tie that PR. That is the point where they need to go into the rotation of changing an exercise every week. The key at that point is how they construct the rotation for their weak points---ME work and accessory work should both be focused on addressing weaknesses. It is a balance that will vary by individual lifters to a degree.
I think I'm a lifter at that point in my training, in that I can break a record on week 1, but on week 2, I may struggle to tie it or I barely break it, so now I rotate ever week. I have had an elite total for a couple of years now, in both single ply and multiply, so that is a factor too. That every week rotation is one with cumulative weeks included--basically 12 week periods where I work that one specific weak point. Say I'm weak in my bench lockout from the 3 board level up.. week 1 is reverse bands, week 2 is floor presses of pins, week 3 is 2-3 board work in a shirt, week 4 is scheduled deload week (no ME Work, rehab work instead and regular DE work), then on week 5, I normally will start the exercise rotation over again for at least one full 4 week rotation and attempt to break all the records I set the first 4 weeks through. Depending on what kind of PR's I set, how I'm feeling, and where I am in meet prep, I then will do it again for a 3rd rotation before I change ME exercises. That varies a bit, but thats the idea I try to follow if I'm not getting ready for a meet. .
That to me is how you use a Westside training template to fix weak points. You can't fix them by focusing on one single exercise done in one workout. You have to have a big picture idea of what your weakness is and how you are going to address that weak point, then address it.
Personally have put over 400 lbs on my meet squat, almost 400 lbs on my meet bench, and we won't talk about deadlifts, but over 600 on my meet total in the last 6 years training that way.... as a mid 30's, fat, overworked, stressed out, Type I diabetic who had been stuck at the same numbers for years. So in my mind, there is a method to the madness, a method that definitely works, if you understand it and follow it. You just need to think in terms of big picture, not one single workout. This type of training is a method of training, not a routine.

Nice! I'm no stranger to flat tires! I've had more than my share in the desert.
Hope I draw that tag again someday! Maybe I'll get lucky and draw an elk of antelope tag down there this year. So far this year I have had no luck at all drawing so maybe Im saving it for Idaho although Im fairly convinced I used all my luck up last year. lol.
If I get lucky you will be one of the first to know! I did a late muzzy hunt in Oregon right accross the border back in '05. That hunt releys a lot on snow in Idaho, well it was 60 degrees out that year. I was having a very tough time finding bucks, talked to some guys who were hunting in Idaho at the same time that were passing 24-26" bucks every day looking for a 30"er. I've been wanting to hunt unit 42 every since then.
The NR odds are pretty low for anything in that area but someone has to draw the few tags there are! You will probably want to throw big rocks at me after this but last year when I drew 42 was the first time I ever applied for it. That is why I figure I used up my luck for the next 10 years lol. Did you apply for anything other then deer? I started applying for deer elk and antelope all in 40 and 42 last year. Think this is my 4th year of applying for elk and antelope.
No rock throwing here. I have wanted to draw since '05, but have never applied till this year. Hopefully I will be like you and get it the first time! Not likely, but you never know. I did not apply for elk or antelope, I knew I was going to draw antelope in Oregon and I wasn't sure my back can't handle and out of state elk hunt at the time of applying.
I thought you had been applying since 05. lol With no points you could draw every tag you ever apply for or never draw. I have applied for 2 deer tags in Idaho and drawn both times but have never drawn anything else. I put in for all 3 and get a wolf tag since it doesnt cost much more and you have to buy the license anyways. The odds are pretty low for the elk and antelope too but you never know!
3 more hours getting work done on my tattoo. I think we went over 40 hours total today.
Thank GOODNESS the Heat won....

Pat Brady Digs In — Will County GOP Calls For His Resignation
Written by David E. Smith, IFA Executive Director
This past weekend, Pat Brady, Chairman of the Illinois Republican party, was interviewed on Fox 32 about his political activity to help Illinois Democrats pass radical Leftist legislation to redefine marriage and family. This conflicts not only with the Illinois Republican Platform and the National Republican Platform but also with the views of the majority of voters in the state –specifically members of Brady's own party. (Watch the video HERE.)
Political Reporter Mike Flannery begins by attempting to confuse the issue by suggesting in his first question that the private political activity of Brady can be seen as outside his very public and official position of GOP chairman. Not only is this absurd, it is intellectually dishonest to try to bifurcate the political activity of the two.… Continue Reading
