States Turning to Gambling to Help Budget Woes
States across the country are struggling with billions of dollars in budget gaps. Now many of them are looking at ways to raise revenue by expanding some form of gambling. Massachusetts is considering a bill that would license two resort-style casinos and bring slot machines to four of the state's racetracks.
In this first story of a pair we're doing this week on the subject, we speak with Sean Corcoran, reporter for WCAI public radio in Cape Cod, about what residents in Massachusetts think of the proposal for expanded gaming in their state. Richard McGowan, a professor of economics at Boston College and the author of several books on gambling, including "Dividing the Spoils: States and the Gambling Industry," considers the cost of what has been called our nation's addiction to gambling dollars.
Our partner WGBH is taking an in-depth look at the casino gambling debate in Massachusetts and what it means for people living and working in the Commonwealth with The Last Resort —a TV and radio series airing this week.
We asked you to start the conversation; here are some of the comments we received on FACEBOOK:
Bruce Freeburger: No. Gambling sucks money from many and gives it to the few. Also, gambling just destroys ambition. Why work and save when you are told you can just win? But you can't win. It's really a poor revenue raiser too.
Herschel M Rothman quotes a sign posted in a high school mathematics department office: "Lottery - a tax on people bad at math"
Kevin Fitzpatrick: I have no problem with gambling, but I don't believe that States should view it as a valid revenue stream. It should be regulated and taxed, but I don't think it is a silver bullet for government budget woes.

I screwed the bolts into all of the 12 holes without the manifold and they thread real nice. Being at the end of my hoes I decided to just use the outside eight. Last night I fired her up for the first time. I was orgasmic! My friend noticed the holes on the inside four are empty and he believes that oil will eventually come out of there. after several attempts to drop in the inside four he also gave up. The bolts all go in on an angle. So I definitely don't need one of those thread hole kits for the bolts that shoot straight down. Why in the world wont they start? If I leave them as is will oil come out? I really don't want to remove the carb,alternator,a/c compressor, all the wiring, the distributor, all of the plumbing, and the sensors to get at the manifold so that I can re-seat it again only to find that it won't seat with the four inside bolts. I mean it would not work the first fifty or so times so why will it work now. Maybe if i grind down the sides of the end of the bolt it will force itself in?
Sounds like the manifold wasn't drilled right. This is seen much more often on offshore intakes than those made by Edelbrock.
Are you sure the intake gasket isn't the problem? If not, you can grind the intake bolt holes as needed to get the bolts to line up- just don't cross thread them!
One more thing- be sure the bolts aren't too long, else there are a couple that can hit the pushrod. IIRC, intake manifold bolts for cylinders 4 and 5 should not use 1-1/2" bolts, use 1-1/4" at the longest.

Silver Creek Fault
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Silver Creek Fault is a potentially seismically active northwest-southeast trending geological fault structure in Santa Clara County, California. The Silver Creek Fault runs through and adjacent to the 25 miles (40 km) long and 5 miles (8 km) wide Evergreen Basin,[1] and generally lies parallel and between the Guadalupe River and Coyote Creek in the city of San Jose.
No historic activity of the Silver Creek Fault has been recorded.[2] The Silver Creek Fault is parallel to the Hayward Fault, which is located 5 miles (8 km) to the east. New research in 2003 suggests an extension of the Silver Creek Fault may run the entire length of the East Bay.[3]

Stocks Finish Lower
Stocks ended lower on Monday as worries about a new record low in the dollar offset optimism about lower oil prices and upbeat sales reports from retailers.
The Dow Jones industrial average was off 50.99 points, or 0.47%, to 10,776.13. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 5.21 points, or 0.43%, to 1,204.92. The Nasdaq composite index fell 6.40 points, or 0.30%, to 2,154.22.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, investors will get a reading on consumer confidence for the month of December. The gauge is expected to tick up to 96 from 90.5 in the previous month.
There are no major earnings releases due out on Tuesday.
On Monday, the dollar reached new lows against the euro, with the European curency testing the $1.36 level. A weaker dollar can decrease the attractiveness of U.S. assets for foreign investors.
Crude oil prices were sharply lower Monday, with Nymex crude oil closing off nearly $3 to $41.26 as funds dumped positions amid forecasts of more normal temperatures ahead.
Shares of oil major including Exxon Mobil (XOM ) and ChevronTexaco (CVX ) fell in sympathy.
Homebuilding and furnishing sectors were also heading lower as interest rates climbed.
Meantime, retailers were mostly bullish about holiday sales. Wal-Mart (WMT ), the world's biggest retailer, sees December same-store sales in the U.S. rising in the middle of its 1% to 3% percent range for December.
Online retailer Amazon.com (AMZN ) called 2004 its best-ever holiday.
And luxury accessories company Coach (COH ) increased its quarterly sales guidance thanks to strong holiday sales.
But gadgets retailer Sharper Image (SHRP ) reduced its fourth quarter and fiscal year forecast.
In other stocks news, aerospace and defense outfit Boeing (BA ) said China Eastern Air plans to buy six 737-700 jets for about $240 million.
Shares of some insurers eased Monday after tidal waves killed more than 20,000 in parts of Asia, raising fears of hefty insurance claims.
Smith Barney said profits of hotel operator Four Seasons (FS ) could be hurt by the earthquake related disaster in Asia.
Treasury Market
Treasury prices ended slightly lower as bonds were pressured by lower oil prices, a weaker dollar, and better sales reports.
World Markets
European stocks closed lower. The London stock market was closed in observance of the Boxing Day holiday.
Germany's DAX index was off 16.26 points, or 0.11%, at 4,235.36 even though the Bild newspaper reported Germany's December joblessness rose by 173,000 to 4.43 million, the highest December level since 1997. Munich Re, Allianz, and Hannover Re were a bit lower but they all said it's too early to give an estimate for damages caused by the earthquake off the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
In Paris, The CAC 40 fell 5.07 points, or 0.13%, at 3,817.69. Accor and Club Mediterranee were lower after the earthquake off Sumatra, Indonesia, resulting in tsunami waves raised concerns that travel plans will be canceled. Air France-KLM was also lower.
Asian markets closed lower. Japan's Nikkei index slipped 3.13 points, or 0.03%, to 11,362.35.
In Hong Kong, the benchmark Hang Seng Index ended off 40.40 points, or 0.28%, to close at 14,194.90.

I don't like GUIs, because they can slow you down (mostly if you are a fast typer), especially when tapping in remotely. I can still understand why people would prefer the GUI... it's easier. I wouldn't call it quicker.

Domain Renewal Warning
Hi All,
Just a quick note for people that own domain names.
Keep an eye on your renewal date, dont rely on your ISP/Domain registrar to warn you.
I have just lost a Domain i have had for 3 years, which was also my business name. My Domain registrar 'apparantly' sent out a warning 7 days before the renewal date which i didnt receive. They didnt give me any more warnings and let it be deleted. The day it was deleted a cyber squatter (domain pocher) registered it, and now i have lost all my emails, business and there is nothing i can do about it. I asked the new owner if i could buy it back and here is the reply (Not that i want to name and shame or anything!!!)
"This domain name has "expired" from the previous registrar
and was purchased by Domain Reg LLC.
Domain Reg LLC registered this domain name for its own use after
it expired and was made available for anyone to register.
If any gross error was made, it was not by us.
We suggest you contact the previous registrar who dropped the
domain name as "expired".
Domain Reg LLC. now has registered ownership of www.BroHost.net
However, Domain Reg LLC. prefers to amicably resolve
these types of matters, where the parties are sincere and
act in good faith and in some cases we may entertain offers.
Domain Reg LLC has already incurred expenses in administration,
programming and development costs, not including optimization,
prepaid hosting agreements and even legal fees.
If you wish to submit a offer on the domain name, or should
you have any questions or comments, please feel free to
contact the undersigned.
Sincerely yours,
Domain Reg LLC Support Team

Subject: BroHost.net
Dear New owner of Brohost.net
There appears to have been a mistake regarding the registration of BroHost.net
I was not informed that the domain was expiring and once informed tried to register it.
Please would you consider selling it back to me
Best Wishes
BroHost.net (my business name)"
I replied back to them a few timesand received nothing back.
Alledgely this has happened to others by this 'Company' and they have turned down offers of hundereds of $. So much for their "where the parties are sincere and
act in good faith and in some cases we may entertain offers"
Which is rubbish!
So if you have a domain you want to keep, make sure you keep an eye on it.
Hopefully a new business coming soon.
Hi Michael,
sorry to hear about your misfortune. I don't know if this is any use to you, but in the 'Help Desk' section of one of my old Web Pages Made Easy mags I read a letter from a reader who had a problem which is not dissimilar to yours. I've scanned it and uploaded it onto the web if you want to read it. If so, Click Here . I think there is a good lesson for all of us to be learnt here. Hopefully some of the other more experienced forum members will be able to offer more specific advice to you on the matter.
Good Luck!
Similar experience
I had a similar experience - turned up to work one Monday morning and found that our website URL www.wirelessworldforum.com was now the domain of someone else. We lost it to someone in the U.S. who used the domain name purely as a search engine for the traffic our site was generating.
We didn't receive any of the warnings. What we did experience in the weeks running up to the expiry was that our site was being being attacked on a regular basis which meant that there were times when we did have to shut it down. A registration form on our site was particularly prone as someone overloaded the site by submitting blank forms at the rate of one every few seconds.
The site was re-registered just minutes past the expiry time which also meant that someone was keeping a close eye on it.
An important lesson but unfortunately not one you can always avoid when someone has their sights set and is prepared to use "any means".
Josh Dhaliwal
As a business you can take various routes to obtaining the domain back again.
If your business is registered and it's obvious that your business is built upon your domain you can make a legal moves to try regain it.
Of course this would be much easier if it was a ".co.uk" domain but it's not impossible to recover a ".net" .
I think a trip to your solicitors about "Intellectual Property Rights".
This page will give you an insight about others who have tried this course of action.

good luck

I have heard that you can adjust the torsion bars to raise or lower the front of the car. Also have heard this will change the way the car leaves the line. Can anyone tell me how to do this and what it does.
There is a bolt that is sticking out the bottom of the a arms. I believe it is a 3/4" head. Turn it clockwise and it will raise the car. Turn it counter clockwise and it will lower the car. Raising and lowering the front end changes the weight transfer when you launch the car. I believe that when the front end is setup low the front end will have further to travel to transfer weight to the rearend of the car. Opposite holds for setting it up higher. Make sure you measure each side when adjusting the torsion bars so you adjust both sides to the same ride height. I adjusted mine on my 70 challenger. With the blown 528 hemi and the deep sump pan i only had about an 1 inch of ground clearance. After adjusting them the pan has about 4 inchs. I could have lifted the front end even more if I needed to. Check my car out in readers rides. searc on koister or use this url. Please comment on it and rate it. Thanks. http://rides.moparmusclemagazine.com/ride/1017030/koister/1970/dodge/challenger/index.html
Thank you thats the information I was looking for.
Be careful when you raise or lower the car by adjusting the torsion bars, as it changes the camber and will affect the caster when turning. The tires will wear on the outside or inside depending on wether you raise or lower the front end.Dom Rinaldi
Great question and timely too. I just bought my 1st Moper which is a 1964 Fury and I want to raise the front and rear a couple of inches as this kind of car looks best sitting a little higher than stock in my opinion. Since I've never had a Plymouth I was surprised to learn raising the front was a pretty simple and straight forward process. I know I'll need to have the front end re-aligned after raising but can I really get 2 or 3 inches of lift without damaging something. Will this affect the stiffness of the ride or are we talking about too different areas of the suspension? this type suspension is totally foreign to me. Can I get my rear leaf springs re-arc'd to raise the back? I've heard the HEMI rear springs will raise the back end but really destroy the ride. Any comments or ideas will be greatly appreciated.ThanksButch
yes, it really is that easy to raise or lower the front end of a vintage mopar, and it will not hurt anything doing so. Certainly you will reduce the travel a percentage depending on how high or low you go, but it will not hurt it. It also will not significantly alter the ride quality. To alter the stiffness of the front end, you need to change the torsion bar diameter. This would be the same as using a heavier or lighter coil iin other applications.You can rearch the springs to lift the rear. you could also add a leaf to the pack as well. I wouldn't bet on the Hemi springs lifting the rear. Super stock springs will, but the stock Hemi springs typically will not provide lift.Whether or not it destroys the ride is somewhat subjective. Hemi springs are just a nice, firm spring. Super stock springs are a decent sized step up, but are still no worse than many modern truck suspensions.
Thanks HP2,Well, I'm really excited to get this beast home so I can play with it. About two weeks and counting. I've thought about having the rear springs re-arched and might try that. I didn't realize the Hemi springs just stiffened the ride. I've seen photos of 64 Furys with Super Stock springs and the lift was too much unless somehting else was done as well. I don't need a lot of lift in the back just enough to allow some 8x15 or 8.5x15 wheels and some 275/265 x 15 tires to clear the wheelwells and leafsprings safely. I only want to lift the front end so it's slightly higher than the back (or level) as that's way I remember the great ones back in the 60's before everyone starting dropping the nose to the deck and raising the back. A slight nose up stance makes it look like its launching when it's still sitting still. Great stance for a great car. Thanks!Butch
STOP THE PRESSESPart IIf you want it to look like a '60s SS car, go ahead and jack up the torsion bars until your nose bleeds.The car will never hook again.Its the next century guys.The torsion bars are a SPRING that instead of going up and down, they TWIST! If the bars are twisted more than they need, the front end will have no spring to it and the front end won't lift or TRANSFER weight to the rear. The rear can't rise (not the greatest thing anyway)against the stiffness of the front end.The higher you go the stiffer the front end.(try it!) Go to low like laying the subframe on the rubbers (pyramid) and the front end won't lift because the spring in the torsion bars is unwound and the whole weight of the nose will have to rise UNAIDED BY THE SPRING EFFECT of the torsion bars. (set the front end down on the rubbers and try it. Pull up on the inside of the grill support with both hands. You won't be able to lift the car. When adjusted correctly, it will pull up easily and rebound easily when you let go) Thats the same thing the car wants to do, lift the front, transfer the weight to the rear. (more to it)WE MADE MANY MISTAKES IN THE '60SThere is so much more involved in this question especially throwing the LEAF SPRINGS into the equasion.If anyone is reading this and/or is interested, from street driving to race, I'll tell all I know to interested parties. (I have run 1.3s 60' with the front end 3 feet in the air with torsion bars and leaf springs) I have tried and done EVERYTHING in the last 46 years and the information is free on this site to all who ask. firstname.lastname@example.com
Very generous offer,I have to confess (hope I don't get fried for this) my purpose of raising the front is for show, not go. And, I only want to raise it enough to be equal in height or slightly (I mean slightly) higher than the back, if it is raised to clear some L-60-15 tires on 8x15 wheels. Ride is important to me but I can sacrifice a little stiffer suspension for the look I want; but I won't tolerate a bad ride for looks.I knew a kid back in High School during the 60's who raised the front of his 55 Chevy with bumper jacks and stuck 4x4 in the suspension to get the staight axle look, lasted all of 30 minutes before he seriously damaged his front end....it was hilarious, but we were all young and dumb back then. So, I hope I'm not doing a "young and dumb" thing by raising the front a couple of inches maximum and maybe only an inch.Butch
Koister,I'm not sure if you're still monitoring this thread but just saw your Challenger. Wow! That has to be on wild ride! How do you like the electric cutouts? Do they function as advertsed and more importantly do they open and close when they should? It always concerned me that they wouldn't close if needed when the local police car starts to follow the noise.Butch
I recently purchased a 55 ford f-100 and am trying to restore it to it's previous glory. I think most of it's modifications were made in the late 70's or early 80's. I believe it has an Aspen or Volare front suspension. It tilts to one side. How do I correct this and do then I need to have it aligned. Old school, but never dealt with torsion bar suspension before. Any help will be appreciated.Thanks, Dave D.

The purpose of the United States Air Force Academy is to develop young people of strong character who graduate and serve as outstanding leaders on active duty and beyond. It's a purpose Troy Calhoun thoroughly respects and realizes is necessary for our country. Calhoun left the Houston Texans of the NFL as an offensive coordinator in 2007 to embrace the mission of the Air Force Academy and accomplish what was once considered nearly impossible: building a service academy program that often earns a postseason bid while playing in one of college football's best conferences. Eight of his nine years Air Force has been to a bowl under Calhoun's guidance. The coach has guided Air Force to a 67-50 career record entering his 10th season.
Air Force student-athletes must complete one of the nation's most demanding academic curriculum while further embedding the heart and character that are crucial for serving the nation. Cadets at the Academy must work through courses that require finishing over 140 semester hours. Strong character traits, to include respect, teamwork, courage, spirit, discipline, honesty and toughness, are the bedrock of the leadership qualities Air Force football players utilize while serving as officers in the United States Air Force. Calhoun and his staff have come up with a way to manage the varied demands of their players and lead them into a cohesive team that has fared quite well both on and off the field in his nine seasons as head coach.
Calhoun's players are extraordinarily successful finishing their academic and leadership responsibilities. The Air Force football team's NCAA APR (Academic Progress Report) is annually amongst the finest at the FBS level of college football. From May 2007 through the present, Air Force Football's multi-year APR has finished above the nation's 90th percentile seven of the last nine years which is more than any sport at any service academy. The football program received a public recognition award by the NCAA this season with a mark of 987 which led the Mountain West. In addition to being one of the nation's best in regards to the NCAA's APR and GSR, 189 of 191 seniors (99%) who have played for Calhoun since 2007 have graduated from the Academy and served as officers for our nation.
Calhoun is the only coach in the history of service academy team ball sports to lead teams to a post-season bid six consecutive years. They have done this while playing very strong opponents. Calhoun's 2009 Air Force squad was the only team in the last 50 years of service academy football to play at least four ranked teams and win a bowl game in the same season. In the 100-plus year history of service academy football, Calhoun is the first coach to lead teams to at least six wins and a bowl game in each of his first six seasons.
Air Force won the Mountain Division championship in 2015 with a 6-2 mark and were 8-6 overall. The Falcons also earned a a bid to the 2015 Amred Forces Bowl while extending its school record home winning streak to 12 games, posting a 6-0 home mark for the second straight year. Calhoun was named the 2015 National Football Foundation, Colorado chapter, coach of the year for his efforts.
Calhoun's 2014 team finished 10-3 overall while having all 28 seniors graduate from the Air Force Academy. Calhoun was named as a finalist for the Maxwell National Coach of the Year. The Falcons qualified for their seventh bowl game in eight years, and by winning the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, captured their third bowl championship since 2009. Air Force defeated Army and Navy to win a record 19th Commander-in-Chief's Trophy and its third CINC title in the last five years. The Falcons were also one of just two teams nationally to beat two 10-win teams in the regular season. The Falcons beat Boise State and in-state rival Colorado State, who each won 10-plus games. Air Force's 10-win season was the first this century for the Academy and just the ninth in the last 100 years of service academy football. The team finished 6-0 at home for just the third time in school history. Calhoun's 2007 squad also finished 6-0 at home.
Air Force earned a bid in 2012 to the Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force won its second straight Commander-in-Chief's Trophy (then-record 18th overall) in 2011, the first back-to-back titles at the Academy since 2001-02 and earned their fifth straight bowl game in the Military Bowl. The 2010 Air Force team finished 9-4 overall and won Air Force's 17th Commander-in-Chief's Trophy championship with wins over Army and Navy. The Falcons closed the 2010 season with a victory over Georgia Tech of the ACC in the Independence Bowl. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation.
The 2009 Air Force team finished 8-5 overall and concluded with a convincing 47-20 win over 25th-ranked Houston in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl. Air Force set 13 Academy bowl team records in the dominant victory. The team also set six school records during the 2009 season. Calhoun was named Coach of the Year by the Colorado Chapter of the National Football Foundation for his efforts.
Calhoun's 2007 and 2008 Air Force teams finished 9-4 and 8-5, respectively, and both earned bowl bids. The 2007 Falcons were the only team in Air Force history to win road games at Notre Dame, Utah and Colorado State in the same season. The five-game turnaround from 2006, in which Air Force was 4-8, was the largest in the nation that season by a first-year head coach. The five-game turnaround was the best in school history since the 1958 team had a school-record turnaround of six games.
Air Force's nine wins tied Calhoun for the most wins ever at a service academy by a first-year head coach, matching the mark set by Ben Martin in 1958. The six MWC wins set a new Academy standard and were two wins better than the previous mark for conference wins by a first-year head coach at the Academy. Calhoun was named the Mountain West Conference's Coach of the Year for his efforts. In addition, he was named Coach of the Year in Region 5 by the American Football Coaches Association and was one of eight finalists for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. He was also one of seven finalists for the AFCA National Coach of the Year award.
Calhoun brought to Air Force a wealth of experience at the collegiate and professional levels that was flooded with success at every stop prior to the Academy. Calhoun came to the Academy after serving as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Houston Texans in 2006. The Texans were one of only two NFL teams to triple their number of wins from the previous year. The 2006 Texans were the last team to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on their way to the Super Bowl championship. On offense, the Texans had the NFL's leading receiver (Pro Bowler Andre Johnson with 103 catches), the NFL's best quarterback completion percentage (68.4 percent) and their quarterback tied a NFL record against Buffalo with 22 straight completions.
Calhoun became a well-rounded NFL coach, working as a defensive assistant, special teams assistant and offensive assistant with the Denver Broncos from 2003-05. He began his NFL coaching career by serving on the defensive side of the ball in 2003. He helped coach the NFL's fourth-best defense. The Broncos' defense ranked seventh against the run and sixth against the pass. Denver's defense yielded a mere 17.6 points per game as they made the playoffs for the first time since 2000.
In 2004, Calhoun moved to become an assistant on offense and worked with the special teams. The offense ranked fifth in the NFL, averaging 395.8 yards per game. Calhoun worked closely with Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan in the 2005 season, serving as the assistant to the head coach. The Broncos won the AFC West title for the 10th time in their history and played for the AFC Championship game for the first time in seven seasons. Their 14-4 record was the best since Denver finished the 1998 season as winners of Super Bowl XXXIII. The offense finished fifth in the NFL averaging 360.4 yards per game. The defense was stout against the run, finishing second in the NFL with 85.2 yards per game. Denver finished with an undefeated record at home during the regular season for the fifth time in team history. During Calhoun's three years in Denver, the Broncos made the playoffs every season, averaging over 11 wins a year.
Prior to the NFL, Calhoun was an offensive coordinator for six seasons on the collegiate level. He began his coaching career at Air Force, where he worked as a graduate assistant from 1989-90. He started at quarterback for the Academy in 1986 and was one of only two freshmen to letter for the 1985 team.
Calhoun served his country from 1989-95 as an active duty officer in the Air Force. He was an assistant coach for the Falcons in 1993-94. He moved to Ohio University in the spring of 1995 where he served as the quarterbacks coach for two seasons. Calhoun was promoted to offensive coordinator in 1997. During his first season at the helm, the offense totaled 612 yards against Eastern Michigan, second-most in school history. The Bobcats defeated Maryland in 1997, marking the school's first win against a team from the ACC in school history. The `97 Bobcats' 8-3 record was the school's best in 29 years. During his last season at Ohio in 2000, the Bobcats beat two bowl teams, Minnesota and Marshall, for the first time in school history. Calhoun's 2000 offense set a school record with 418.1 yards per game.
Calhoun moved to Wake Forest in 2001. The Demon Deacons were one of only seven teams in the country to score more than 30 points in each of the final four games. During his second season, Wake led the ACC in total offense with 408.1 yards per game. His offense had a league-best 990 plays and was efficient with the ball, committing only 16 turnovers, fewest in the ACC. The 2001 season culminated with a 38-17 bowl victory over Oregon to give Wake Forest its first back-to-back winning seasons since the ACC expanded from eight teams.
Calhoun was raised in a home where both kids graduated from the Air Force Academy and were varsity letter winners on nationally-ranked teams. Calhoun's younger sister, Callie, is a 1991 Academy graduate. She was a 10-time track and cross country All-American who won six NCAA national titles. Troy Calhoun graduated from the Academy in 1989 as a member of the superintendent's list by earning over a 3.0 grade point average along with a military performance average of better than 3.0. He also completed a master's in business administration (MBA) from Oklahoma City University in 1992. He and his wife, Amanda, live in Colorado Springs and have two children, Tyler (14) and Amelia (12). Calhoun and his wife, Amanda, have a strong respect and affinity for the members of our armed services and are very involved with numerous charitable and community endeavors.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL
We have a website which sell products.
To display the prices the user clicks a 'Buy Now' button and is referred to a third party server, this third party server holds all prices and also captures credit card details etc should the user want to proceed. All we do is pass a product reference number to the third paty server and that server then displays product costs shipping costs etc.
Is there a way to record when a user clicks the 'Buy Now' button.
We want a way to anaylse the number of users who look at prices on third party server and do or do not buy a product?
Site is in HTML on 2003 Server with IIS.
Thanks in advance.
This is all assuming you have no server side scripting language or DB (didn't see it mentioned so I assumed there wasn't). If you do, there are much more elegant ways to accomplish this.
You can do what we are talking about in one line with jQuery:
Thanks for the response.
I will have to do some research on a jQuery, never come across it.
In the time between my original post, I have tried different approaches including using the onclick event on the buy now button to html page so it logs a record in the weblogs that I can track, but it also opens the html page which is not good.
I will look into jQuery.
Does your server have .asp capabilities? I have a click-through tracking script I use to track clicks on one of my web sites. It logs the date, time, user IP, target and referrer then forwards them to the requested link. However, I am not sure if it will work with a form, but you can give it a try if you want.
Download the js file and put it on your server then include it in the head of the html on whatever pages you want to track.
<script src="/js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Then create a small JS code section in the head like the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
//load the code once its ready
//find the id property of the link (make sure its unique) and when it is clicked do whats in this function
$('#linkidgoeshere').click(function ()
//make an ajax call to the page you setup
I can send you example files, send me a sticky if you wish.
Just google it. We also have message board dedicated to software like this.

As anyone who has tried to set up a non-profit community event like WordCamp can probably tell you, finding a suitable venue is tough. Sure, if you're running a big conference and charging lots of money, venues will be lining up to get your business. But, when you tell them you don't want to pay for the space, they suddenly lose your phone number.
When we contacted George Brown College about WordCamp, not only did they return our call, Jonathan Gould, Chair of the Business and Media Arts Progam at the Centre for Continuous Learning, was excited to be involved with WordCamp! What a pleasure it is to find a venue like George Brown, and someone like Jonathan, who know what WordCamp is, and are eager to help make the event a success!
For more information about the programs offered at George Brown, check out their Continuing Education website. And, just to illustrate how up to date their programs are, take a look at the WordPress for Designers course, new this fall!
Many thanks to George Brown College, and Jonathan Gould, for providing such a terrific venue for WordCamp Toronto 2011, and for making one of the hardest parts of organizing a conference like this seem easy!
For more info about the venue, take a look at Location and Facilities.

The Tivoli Theatre of Varieties, 65-70½ The Strand, London
Formerly - The Tivoli Beer Garden and Restaurant - Later - The Tivoli Picture Theatre / Tivoli Cinema
Introduction - Tivoli Theatre / Music Hall - Tivoli Picture Theatre - The Tivoli Tea House
Above - A Postcard showing the Tivoli Theatre on the Strand which was sent in 1908
In 1876 a new place of entertainment opened on the Strand in London called the Tivoli Beer Garden and Restaurant. Situated on a site directly opposite the present Adelphi Theatre, the Tivoli Beer Garden and Restaurant was conceived as somewhere to meet, eat, and drink, but it wasn't long before it started engaging comedians and singers to entertain its customers too.
Above - The Tivoli Beer Garden and Restaurant can be seen to the left of this photograph taken shortly before its demolition in 1888. From 'The Lost Theatres of London', Mander & Mitchenson.
The entertainment element was so successful that it was soon decided that the site should be enlarged and that a Music Hall should be added to the property. Designs by the well known Theatre Architect Walter Emden were soon produced and on October the 18th 1888 the corner stone of the new Tivoli Theatre and Restaurant was laid. Although Walter Emden designed the building C. J. Phipps is known to have have superintended its construction.
Right - A Tivoli Theatre Programme for May the 28th 1892 - Click to see this and many other early Tivoli Theatre Programmes Enlarged.
In April 1890, the ERA were reporting on the almost completed building saying:- 'The Tivoli Company's handsome building for music hall and restaurant in the Strand is now nearing completion, and the end of the present month, or beginning of next, will witness its opening. Decoration and fittings are all that remain in the hands of the workmen, and these are so far advanced as to enable one to form a very good idea of the general effect when complete. Of the ornamentation in design there can be but one opinion, and that a distinctly favourable one, while of efficient execution there is already ample evidence. Both restaurant and music hall will contain all the elements of comfort and sightlines which, in places of this sort, go far towards securing popularity with the public.
Left - A Tivoli Theatre Programme for November 22nd 1895 - Click to see this and many other early Tivoli Theatre Programmes Enlarged.
Entrance to both buildings is from the Strand, but there are excellent exits from the music hall into Durham Street. The entrance hall is spacious and well planned, and of elegant appearance, with its arcade of Indian arches and columns, filled in with arabique. On a level with the street is the balcony tier, which is a point of vantage for a general view of the house. It will here be seen that the Oriental character of ornamentation has been maintained throughout the building, and with admirable effect. An air of compactness and concentration over the stage is a striking feature, while, as a matter of fact, there is a very considerable amount of sitting accommodation as well as good promenading space.
There are ten well-appointed boxes on the balcony tier - namely, on either side four small boxes for couples and one large one for four or six. In the area of the hall are a fair number of stalls in front, and an unusually large space for promenaders at the rear. There is a bar 50 ft long at the back, and a small one close to the stalls, both being shut off from the hall itself. The gallery has its separate entrance from the Strand, and an extra exit for use in case of emergency. There is a bar at the back of the circle and a good promenade. There are lounges in abundance, and a good view of the stage from all. The stage is small, but sufficient for the purposes required, and it has an adequate supply of dressing-rooms. The music hall, like the restaurant, is heated with hot water, and will be illuminated by electricity.
Right - A Tivoli Theatre Programme for the early 1900s - Click to see this and many other early Tivoli Theatre Programmes Enlarged.
The restaurant is being decorated and fitted up with unexceptionable taste. The buffet is decorated in Indian style, the wall-space being covered with ornamented tiles of special design, with Algerian marble bar and dado, and elegant panels and intermediate niches with statues of Indian gods and goddesses. The entrance vestibule is in oak panels, and the staircase decorated in the Francois premier order of art. On the first and second floors are the Palm Room and Flemish Room respectively, both being large and elegant apartments; graceful palm leaves being represented on the walls and ceiling of the former, with a very fine dado of marble and alabaster, and inlaid marble floor. The Flemish room is executed in oak, and we hear the whole of the carving was done at the Levant. In this room is a remarkably fine fireplace, which was on view at the Paris Exhibition, and will doubtless command much attention. On the third floor are a series of private dining-rooms, artistically adorned in styles which their names convey - namely, the Louis V Room, the Japanese, the Arabian, and the Pompeiian Rooms; and, in addition, there is a fair-sized Masonic Room.
In the public portions of the building there are, of course, suitable retiring rooms, and every provision for comfort. There is a fourth floor, in which is situated the culinary department, which is replete with the most modern cooking appliances. There is ample room on the basement and sub-basement floors for necessary appliances, with which the visitor will not come in contact, such as boilers, heating apparatus, storage, fittings, lifts to the kitchen, &c. The total cost of the site and building has been over a quarter of a million.'
The above text in quotes was first published in the ERA, 5th April 1890.
The new Tivoli Theatre of Varieties cost £300,000 to build and duly opened on the 24th of May 1890 but the opening night started with something of a fiasco as the rake in the Pit meant that people behind couldn't see the stage and hundreds of people who should have been seated had to stand, and people in the balcony took to perching on the balcony fronts to get a better view. When people had finally settled down the entertainment began with a welcome from the acting manager, H. F. Potter, followed by an overture by the orchestra directed by Max Maitret. First on the large and varied Bill were Mdlle Bertoto and her transformation dances, followed by Harry Freeman singing 'After Me'; Florrie West then sang 'Who's coming out to play?'; Professor Neiman did a Valentine Vox's Christy minstrel show; a song by Donnell Balfe followed this and then Kate Chard; Tom Costello; the sisters Twibell; Sam Torr; and Ben Nathan all performed their turns to great enthusiasm. This was followed by Chirgwin 'the musical Kaffir', who was not very well so only appeared briefly, much to the audiences annoyance; the Borani Brothers; M'Call Chambers, who would annoy Arthur Lloyd with his plagiarism (see below); the Brothers Armstrong; J. W. Rowley; Jennie Williams; the Bobee Brothers; Florrie Leybourne, daughter of the late George Leybourne; the Brothers James; and finally the Sisters Leyton who danced gracefully but whose singing was apparently not very harmonious.
This opening night Bill was carried on for the following week and added even more performers, namely the Sisters Levey, Ella Dean, T. W. Barrett, Tony Ryan, Lily Landon, and Charles Godfrey. However, the new Music Hall, despite the obvious talent on display, was not a success, mainly due to the arrangement of the house itself, where people could barely see the stage from any position and had to stand throughout in order to get a view.
To add insult to injury, on its opening week, the popular comedian and singer song writer Arthur Lloyd, found himself incensed about the flagrant copying of his own work by M'Call Chambers on the opening night of the Tivoli and wrote a letter to the ERA complaining about it, which they duly printed, saying:-
'Sir, - In your critic's notice last week of the opening of the Tivoli he referred to one of the company as giving an imitation of various dancers he met at a ball. On making inquiries I find this to be a wholesale appropriation of my original business which I created in my well-known "Polka" song, which I have been singing for the last seven or eight years. Everyone who knows me will acknowledge that I have been always one of the first to encourage talent in beginners, but when they bodily annex the entire business and style of a popular song belonging to a well known artiste, I think they should be immediately checked by public, press, and proprietors. I have all through my career been a staunch upholder of originality, and nothing annoys me so much as to see dead copies of popular songs and artists, who work hard to get original ideas. To all such copyists I give this advice, that to make any headway or popularity in this profession (that is, lasting popularity) an artiste must be original and have a style of his own, not a copy of one or a mixture of half-a-dozen others. Yours, &c., Arthur Lloyd.' - From the ERA 1890 - Courtesy John Grice.
Arthur Lloyd is known to have performed at the Tivoli Music Hall himself in its opening year of 1890.
By April the following year the Theatre had been put up for sale by auction but failed to reach its reserve price. The Theatre was subsequently closed on the 20th of June 1891 and the renowned Theatre Architect Frank Matcham was brought in to remodel the building.
Charles Morton took over the management of the Theatre for its reopening on the 4th of July 1891. The ERA reported on the new Tivoli in their 4th of July 1891 edition saying:- 'A wonderful transformation has been accomplished here by that well-known and popular theatrical architect Mr. Frank Matcham, and the habitues will hardly know the place again, so greatly has it been improved in its internal features, and so judiciously has it been re-decorated.
Right - The auditorium and stage of the Tivoli Theatre after its Matcham remodeling of 1891 - From 'The Lost Theatres of London', Mander & Mitchenson.
Mr. Matcham has managed, by a few judicious alterations, and without interfering with the structural parts of the building, to very greatly improve the view of the stage from all sections of the house. The ventilation of the building has also been greatly improved, as Mr. Matcham has introduced a handsome sunlight of novel and effective design in the centre of the auditorium ceiling, from which a large foul air extract is carried outside the building. The electric lighting has been re-arranged, and a very complete scheme is the result. The lights are now distributed over the centre and sides of the ceiling, and are introduced in a very novel and effective way in the gallery and balcony fronts.
Turning to the decorative features of the interior, it will be seen that considerable additions have been made to the fibrous plaster finishings and ornamentations, and that an effect of lightness and space has been gained by handsome mirrors on the walls. Use has been made of artistically designed and well-executed friezes and panels to heighten the general effect, and the whole of the auditorium has been re-decorated in gold and colour of a lighter and less severe style than before, the panels in front of the balcony ceiling being especially noticeable for their beautiful and artistic treatment.
The entrances and saloons have been also thoroughly redecorated, but in different styles from the rest of the building - the balcony saloon being in Louis Quinze style, and the stalls saloon in Japanese. A special feature has been added by the introduction of a new arch over the proscenium opening, of Indian character and striking design. The whole of the interior has been entirely re-upholstered and re-furbished with luxurious carpets, tip-up seats re-covered with plush, artistically draped curtains and valances fixed to the boxes and principal entrances; the stage opening fitted up with handsome plush tableau curtains.
The work has been carried out under the personal supervision of Mr. Matcham by the following well-known firms: Messrs. Campbell, Smith, and Co., the painted decorations; the Plastic Decoration Company, the fibrous plaster work; Messrs. Atkinson and Co., the upholstery and the rich draperies. The alterations are by Mr. Salter; the electric lighting by Mr. Harry South; and the new sunlight &c., by Messrs. Vaughan and Brown.'
The above text in quotes was first published in the ERA, 4th of July 1891.
The opening night Bill for newly remodeled Tivoli Theatre on the 4th of July 1891 included Effie Chapuy, Fred Harvey, Ada Reeve, George Beauchamp, Josephine Henley, Charles Godfrey, the Two Macs, Minnie Thurgate, Albert Chevalier, Ida Heath, the Brothers Horne, Jenny Hill, Prince Mignon, Kara, Herbert Campbell, Fannie Marriott, Tom Costello, J.

Matcham's alterations seem to have done the trick and the new Tivoli Theatre was far more successful, and looking at various programmes from the 1890s and 1900s all the major stars of the time appeared there. In 1893 Vernon Dowsett took over as the Manager from Charles Morton who had reopened the Theatre two years earlier in 1891. In 1910 the buffet and the restaurant were merged into the Theatre making for a larger and grander vestibule and entrance hall. The Grand Circle saloon was also redecorated at this time in the Louise XVI style. Perhaps surprisingly the Theatre's original architect Walter Emden was in charge of the design for this work.
Despite the success of the new Tivoli Theatre, in February 1914 it was closed for a proposed road widening scheme. Plans were drawn up for a replacement Music Hall but the war intervened and the plans were abandoned. Meanwhile the Theatre fell into disrepair and was left derelict for several years and then demolished in 1916.
After the war it was decided that a replacement Music Hall was no longer viable and the site was cleared, the Strand was then widened to its present size, and a new Cinema was then built on the site called the Tivoli Picture Theatre (see below).

The new Tivoli Picture Theatre was designed by Bertie Crewe and Gunton & Gunton, for a Company Chaired by James White, and leased to Metro Goldwyn Meyer. The Theatre, which opened on Friday the 7th of September 1923, was on a vast scale and covered the whole site of the former Music Hall and Restaurant. Little Titch, Kirkby Lunn, Malcolm Scott, and Marie Dainton, all appeared on the new Theatre's stage for the opening night and were followed by a showing of the film 'Where the Pavement Ends'.

The Times Newspaper reported on the new Tivoli Theatre in their August the 13th 1923 edition saying: - 'The new Tivoli Picture Theatre, which has been built in the Strand on the site of the old Tivoli Music Hall, is to be opened to the public on Friday, September 7.
An arrangement has just been made by Mr. James White and with Sir William Jury and Mr. Marcus Loewe, the chief of the American film-producing organisation, the Metro Company, by which all the biggest pictures of this company are to be shown in London exclusively at the New Tivoli Theatre.

A beginning will be made on September 7, with Where the Pavement Ends, a "Metro" film produced by Mr. Rex Ingram, who was responsible for The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. This will probably be followed by Scaramouche, based on Mr. Rafael Sabatini's book Ambrose Applejohn's Adventure, Long Live the King (with "Jackie" Coogan), and The French Doll.
All these films will be shown in London either at the same time as, or before, they are seen in New York. This is a change, for hitherto American films have usually been shown over here long after they have been seen in the United States.'

On the 30th of September 1939 the Tivoli closed to the public due to the outbreak of the war earlier in the month, and in 1941 the Theatre suffered serious bomb damage during the blitz, but although it was no longer open, its basement areas were used as air raid shelters on occasions. The Theatre wouldn't reopen to the paying public until the 22nd of February 1943 when it showed the premier of the Tommy Handley film 'It's That Man Again'. The Tivoli then remained open for the rest of the war, showing first run features.

In 1944 a memorial plaque, or tablet, celebrating the work of Marie Lloyd, who often appeared at the Tivoli, was unveiled in the Theatre's foyer, (more information on this can be seen below).
Left - A Programme for 'Cavalcade; at the Tivoli Cinema, on May the 8th 1933.
In the early 1950s the Theatre was run in conjunction with the Astoria Theatre on Charing Cross Road where they both played ABC's pre release films.
The Tivoli Theatre finally closed on the 29th of September 1956 with a last showing of the films 'The Baby and the Battleship', and 'Oklahoma Woman'.
The following year, 1957, the Theatre was demolished to make way for a branch of the Peter Robinson Fashion Store.
The Memorial plaque to Marie Lloyd, which had originally been placed in the Picture Theatre's foyer in 1944, when it was being run by Gaumont British Picture Corporation, was repositioned in the new Store after it opened in 1958, and was unveiled by the much loved singer, music hall star, and member of the Crazy Gang, Bud Flanagan on the 17th of August 1959 (shown below).
Above - Bud Flanagan unveils the Marie Lloyd Remembrance Tablet from the Tivoli Theatre at the new Peter Robinson Store on the Strand on the 17th of August 1959 - A Sport & General Press Agency Ltd. Photograph.
The Tablet was dedicated in remembrance of Marie Lloyd who died in 1922 and read 'A brilliant artiste and great hearted English woman who was beloved by all and for many years delighted audiences in the Tivoli Theatre. This Tablet was presented by The Gaumont British Picture Corporation Ltd and Sir Noel Curtis-Bennett K.C.V.O. 1st Companion of the Grand Order of Water Rats and unveiled by past King Rat Fred Russell, 15th June 1944.'
When the Tablet was moved to its new position in the Peter Robinson Store a new notice below it read: - 'This tablet, preserved by Peter Robnson, was unveiled in its new position by P.K.R. Bud Flanagan, OBE, on 17th September 1959.'
Sadly the Tablet was later found in a skip, broken into four pieces, and was given to the the British Music Hall Society by a member of the public, see photograph below.
There are some photographs of the Peter Robinson Store on the Strand here, and here. The store was later converted by the Australian Government into their 'New South Wales House'. This has also now been replaced, and today offices and shops now stand on the site, which can be seen in the photograph shown right.

Tear Jerkers for the video game Knights of the Old Republic:
- Might not be in the game, but the ending of Destroyer certainly qualifies. Zayne finds out that Chantique lied to him, and turns to try and make amends... only to see that Jarael is gone.
- When you about to deliver the rakghoul serum to the infected outcasts, three of them immediately mutate just moments away from being cured. It is heartbreaking to kill them knowing that you were just a few seconds late from saving them
- Juhani's distress and sadness at having killed her mentor always brings a tear. It's nice when she finds out she didn't kill her - it was all a character test.
- What makes this worse is that you can make a persuade check to convince her that she's forgiven. If you fail, she just sadly says that you're lying to her and waits for you to kill her. It's one of those things that really makes you want to hug her and tell her it's OK.
- Darth Malak of all people has a moment. Right before he dies he finally lets go of all his anger and lust for power and sadly admits that in spite of all his boasting, part of him always knew he was nothing but a pretender chasing a destiny that was never his and that in the end he never amounted to anything.
- The cut (but easily restored) Dark Side female ending. Carth shows up after Malak is dead, saying that he somehow knew you would be victorious. Bastila is in full-on catty mode, sneering at you to kill him, but Carth pleads his case; this isn't the woman he knew and cared for and that if you continue down this path, it's going to destroy you. In the standard game, you just laugh in his face and kill him, but the cut ending has you turning on Bastila, and choosing to die on the Star Forge. You tell Carth to run, but he stands his ground, saying there's no other place he wants to be than here, dying with you. Again, it's Sbarge's voice acting that totally sells it.


text: The writing was on the wall for BBC1 drama Silk Actor Rupert Penry-Jones said it felt like writer Peter Moffat had "blown the whole show up" with series three Comments Written By Emma Daly 1:41 PM, 20 March 2014 BBC1 courtroom drama Silk won't be getting another series. I'm gutted, but not surprised. Speaking before the start of the current third series Rupert Penry-Jones told RadioTimes.com, "You never know what to expect with [writer Peter Moffat]. He's kind of written himself into a place, I don't what he's going to do next. We as a cast aren't sure whether it's been written in a way that this is it or whether it's got more." The actor, who plays QC Clive Reader, added that the characters get "blasted" in different directions at the end of the current series, with the Shoe Lane set literally not knowing where the others are. "So it kind of feels like maybe he's [Moffat] has thrown a grenade in and blown the whole show up." At the time Rupert Penry-Jones said he felt the series' success would very much "depend on the way people react to the show". However, in a statement to RadioTimes.com Moffat writes that the characters' stories are coming to a "natural conclusion" and is bowing out on a high. "It would be dishonest as a writer and unfair to the integrity of the show and everyone involved in it to prolong the series beyond what I hope is a powerful and compelling denouement." Peake added: "I've had a fantastic three years playing Martha Costello. Peter Moffat has created a role I'm so proud to have played". Grenade? Neat bow? Either leaves us without the courtroom drama (although Radio 4 will pick up on a spin-off show focussing on the clerks). The BBC has said Martha's final case will be one of the biggest to date. Her personal and professional life will collide heavily in what's bound to ruffle that neat bob and smudge her red lippy. It's bound to lead on from this ex boyfriend who's turned up calling her Mar and causing trouble. Or maybe someone else in Chambers will do something dodgy and turn to Martha for help. The finale will no doubt be compelling. Silk sure knows how to keep a bunch of people in wigs yelling legal jargon interesting. Especially when Martha looks like she's going to lose. It's the sarcastic, seething looks. Peake nails them. But, if like Penry-Jones says, they're all going to be here there and everywhere, will the ending satisfy the fans? Will Neil Stuke's character Billy Lamb pull through his treatment for prostate cancer or not? Will Clive Reader leave Shoe Lane for good, will Martha finally take a day off? As viewers, maybe we'd feel better if we thought the gang was all together going about their legal business. But perhaps shoving them apart is a more finite ending that we can get our heads around. Let us know what you think in the comment section below... See the penultimate episode this Monday at 9pm, BBC1 Follow @RadioTimes Like this? Share it.

I'd like some help from the pull monkeys on this board. I have an idea of what I want to do, so I'll post a rough draft that is open to modification. As I see it, it's my lower back that's my weak point. I base this estimation on the fact that I get stuck at my shins when I fail, and the fact that I can box squat more than I can deadlift (which, to me, would indicate that my hips are plenty strong, relatively speaking)... Here's what I'm thinking so far for exercises/sets/reps: Monday -GMs for some heavy triples -Power shrugs for eight triples - not ballbusters; this would be along the lines of a five-rep weight done with shorter rest, a la some of Waterbury's stuff -Front squats, probably schemed like the shrugs -some sort of press Wednesday -DE box squats, 8 doubles, waved loading -4 DE deadlift singles, possibly off of a 100 lb. plate (I would have to be very careful with these as last time I did them I hurt my back) -this would be a more upper-body intensive day; would probably include bench press and chins Friday -Oly squat, 5x5 -some sort of lighter pull, like snatch grip low pulls or something, schemed like the power shrugs -a press of some sort
Do you think 4 single pulls are enough DE? This is the one area were I'm not too keen on the Westside idea of not actually performing the lift you want to max on. Before I go on, it's best to say that this is a subject that varies a great deal from lifter to lifter. When I first started though, I followed the rule of staying away from the competition lift while training and suffered for it. I've found it more useful to keep an actual deadlift in the picture by pulling a dead at a higher % than one would normally use for DE but not close to ME- (75 to 90) and then lower the weight for your speed drill afterwards. Even here I'd up the number of sets to 6-8 and possibly reps as well to as many as 3 ( I find it harder to establish a good rhythm for speed with a single). I'm a big believer in doing these on the wave method as well. You can build up to an approximation of your target (about 90%) mid way through your training cycle so you get a good idea as to how you're progressing, and then begin the wave again, working up to your actual max. In any case, IMHO, you'll probably find only 4 pulls won't present much of a workout. The other thing is that I didn't see any hamstring work besides indirectly through the GMs and squats. You may want to add some GHRs or SLDLs. They don't need to be heavy-a moderate rep range will keep them in ready condition and hopefully add some mass.
The only thing I see as a potential problem is the ammount of low back work you will be getting. Good mornings, deadlifts, squats, and front squats. All those lifts require the low back and will build a cumulative fatigue over the week of training, and therfore could put a stop to your progress with the deadlifts. You also mentioned "some sort of press" If that is overhead press then you have even more low back work there. I would replace one of your exercises that involves the low back with something else so that your deadlifts do not suffer. You can always cycle that one exercise back in later on.
I also think that's overworking the back - some people could bounce back from that punishing schedule, but with the weights you're lifting it might not be do-able.
I too tend to disagree with the WSB idea of avoiding Deadlift to get stronger at Deadlift. Not to start a firestorm, but I'm pretty sure they have far more lifters with mindblowing Squats & BP's, than DL's. That can't be coincidence. I'm striving for 600 too, so what do I know. Anyway, I M.E Squat once a week, and M.E. Deadlift once a week, different days. I use JumpStretch Bands to do Reverse Deadlifts, which are like Rack Partials except the bands de-load the weight all the way from the floor, so you're pulling some weight all the way from the floor, instead of starting cold from some arbitrary point above the floor. I discovered these recently, and perhaps the progress is due to the newness, but I've already added over 25 lbs. to my regular DL in a couple months. After getting a max single or two, I do a deep deadlift or a slightly partial deadlift, again working up to a max single or two. Then, D.E. Squats with bands for variable resistance, or, alternate weeks, D.E. Deadlifts with bands for variable resistance. D.E. Squats are 10 X 3 at about 50-55%, D.E. Deads are 10 X 1 at about 67%. On M.E. Squat day, I work up to max singles or triples (paused Box Squats), then do Good Mornings for triples, or Keystone Deadlift. That's pretty much it for squat & DL work for me. Also, other days I do some olympic lifts, mostly snatches. Also, Hypers, Reverse Hypers (use a Back Hyper bench backwards if you have to, with bands or ankles straps strapped to plates for resistance), and Glute Ham Raises (with assistance if necessary -- JumpStretch Bands, or even a Lat Pulldown machine, with the lat bar on your shoulders as you bow down, kneeling on the bench, so the weight helps pull you back up). Even some leg curls occasionally
I think I read Goggins likes those rack pulls with a band as his favorite deadlift assistance. Can't remember if those were reverse or regular.
how about alternating in something like pullthroughs or reverse hypers with the barbell work, that might give your cns a wee breather and let you keep the frequency up. (although I used to do pullthroughs after deads more as a 'finisher' so I'm not speaking from first hand experience with them)
You've got some excellent advice here. The thing is, I find with deadlift advice (beyond the intermediate stages), what is excellent for one is useless for another. I'll give you my thoughts and tell you what I do, and you can pick and choose things 9if you like anything, lol). When I am not focusing on the DL, I just work it in, like you'll see in my journal.....when I want to make it a priority, I do a loading cycle where I power clean 3 times a week and power snatch twice a week, each clean or snatch workout is followed by clean or snatch pulls. I work jump shrugs and barbell rows heavy, and I train GM's progressively, usually for 5's. The frequent pulling from the floor (which I could tolerate because I snatch and clean much less than I DL), the GMs, and the heavy upper back and lat work get me loaded up, then I deload for a week or two and do an intensity phase where I train the DL weekly, just old fashioned progressive overload, with 1 or 2 work sets of 3's. I never personally liked speed deads....I think doing low reps at 60% of a max does nothing for me, and plus once you know how to pull for your body type, I just don't think the DL is that technically demanding of a lift.....Again, this is JUST me, I know many a great puller who love them. I can't comment on accomodating resistance, as I've never used it. But, anyway, that's what I do. For the low back, frequent pulling from the floor in the form of the olympic lifts does strengthen the area.
paused fullsquats and frontsquats, powercleans/cleanpulls, snatch grip deads, heavy deadlifts to drill the form hypertrophy work from RDLs, reverse hypers and back extensions, etc special work - single arm deadlifts, split leg deadlifts, seated pulls, ISO hold deads and supported rows, grip work that's what I'd do if I was attacking it myself
The concerns I had about workload on my back when I first started doing cleans and snatches turned out to be unfounded.You acquire useful strength in your upper back and a better sense of balance. As BiggT pointed out, the amount you pull from the floor isn't taxing and is done explosively. Also, it keeps your mindset totally on the movement you have to do. Eat, breathe, and live the game as they say.
buy the bands. you may think the price is a bit much, but once you start using them, and see the benefits of their useage, the only thought that will be left in your head will be "Why didn't I get these when I first heard about them." they are well worth the price that you will pay for them
Deadlift as the true measure of stength, it goes without saying that they can't make a suit to help you with it (at least not yet). Great advice here throughout. I definately agree with the band work - pulling against the bands when you perform the DL is a huge difference. Just remember to cycle on and off the bands as they can give your CNS a beating. Something else I learned while talking with a (Westsider) while I worked the Arnold Classic this year was the 'Spongebob Squats'... Many of them have begun box squatting off a piece of dense foam on top of the box. You squat to sit on the box, hit the foam and then compress slowly down. They started doing these with the intention of increasing the squat, but lo and behold their DL's shot through the roof. Something to try. The box squat itself generally does more for the DL than the squat. I read a bit about the biomechanics of the DL and by box squatting with a pause, you can get carryover from your starting strength to your sumo pull. The biomechanical position is almost identical, and the pause on the box mimics the isometric you perform right before the bar leaves the ground when pulling. Also, try to think about both your body type and you DL weaknesses (poor starting strength, hips too high, weight drift, poor lockout) and perform exercises specific to those areas. Poor start - box squats (high or low), concentric GM's (spinal erectors) Hips high - glute hams Lockout - pull thrus, romanian DL's
No one said this but I throw in heavy barbell rows. It's not a direct thing but you need to develop your whole back to DL big.

WHAT?????????? What in the hell happened to just doing the actual lifts you want to improve on? You want a big dead? Deadlift. Then do some barbell rows and call it a day. The next time pull heavy out of the rack and do some heavy shrugs or chins. Do 6 sets of 3 or do 10 singles. Whatever. 5 x 5. What in the hell is wrong with some of the WSB cronies? If you want a big bench or a big squat or a big deadlift, uhhhh DO THOSE LIFTS!
