Project Description
Diocletianopolis in Thracia (Latin: Diocletianopolis, Greek: Διοκλητιανούπολις "Town of Diocletian") was an ancient Roman town in the region of Thrace, nowadays the town of Hisarya in Bulgaria. It gained its official status as a city in 293 CE by the Roman emperor Diocletian. In the historical sources Diocletianopolis is mentioned as the third biggest town in the province of Thrace after Philippopol (Plovdiv) and Beroe (Stara Zagora). Nowadays the architecture and fortifying system of the Diocletianopolis are among the most original and well preserved in Europe.
The course is structured into three modules:
1. Field practice (archaeological digs);
2. Seminars and practice with materials found;
3. Educational trips.
In course of the excavations the participants will learn the basic methods in field archaeology: Setting out a Grid-plane; Leveling; Planning and recording of archaeological features; Architectural survey; Artifact identification; Archaeological photography. The second module is focused on post-field work and offers practice in artifact's recording: Taking professional photos, Inventory, Work with mass material, Cataloging and describing the small finds. Special attention is given to the processing of pottery found in course of the excavations. The students will learn how to proceed with pottery sherds, how to draw a scientific illustration and how to work with special software at the computer.
The project is hosted by the director of the local historical museum at Hisarya Assoc. Prof. Mitko Madzharov, who has worked for several years with international students. In 2014 the project incorporates also two excursions to the most popular Archaeological museums and sites in central Bulgaria: Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv), the Thracian complex "Kozi gramadi", The Thracian tomb complex by Starosel.

CHICAGO (AP) -- First baseman Dan Johnson, whose dramatic home run on the final night of the regular season helped Tampa Bay reach last year's playoffs, has agreed to a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox.
Johnson hit a tying, two-out, two-strike homer off Cory Wade in the ninth inning of regular-season finale against the Yankees, and Evan Longoria's 12th-inning homer won the game and the AL wild-card berth.
Johnson is a .235 hitter with 53 homers and 188 RBIs in six major league seasons with Oakland and the Rays. He batted .119 with two homers for the Rays last year and was the International League MVP in 2010. In 2005 he batted .275 with 15 homers for the Athletics, who drafted him in 2001.

The concept of HR transformation is not new, but many HR organizations are still striving to achieve the transition from a purely transactional function to one that also delivers strategic value. This white paper examines some of the fundamental problems that fragmented IT systems are causing for HR functions that have adopted - or are planning to adopt - the Ulrich model: from the HR director through to the shared service center, HR business partners and centers of expertise, and how you can affect this change too.

By Maureen Hayden CNHI Statehouse Bureau
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — The state's budget forecasters are delivering discouraging news, estimating a shortfall of nearly $300 million in tax revenues from what they predicted just eight months ago.
The updated estimate comes less than two weeks after Republican Gov. Mike Pence ordered state agencies and universities to cancel $51 million in planned spending because of missed revenue targets.
The $297 million adjustment, disclosed to the State Budget Committee on Friday, represents a small dent in a two-year budget of just over $14 billion. But it's enough to make fiscal leaders wary of granting Pence an ambitious wish list of more tax cuts and new spending on early childhood education.
"The revised downward forecast may be reflecting an abundance of caution, and I certainly hope that's true," said Senate Appropriations Chair Luke Kenley, a Republican from Noblesville who is a key gatekeeper to the biennial budget that runs until June 30, 2015.
But Kenley said he's not willing to gamble on that, and cast serious doubt that the Legislature would reopen the budget process for the governor when it goes into its 2014 "short" session in early January.
The revised forecast delivered to the budget committee, made up of fiscal leaders from both the House and Senate, estimates about 2 percent less revenues from the state's major tax sources. That includes $179 million less in sales tax than originally anticipated for 2014, and another $199 million less for 2015. Sales taxes are a major source of funds for local school districts.
In light of Kenley's resistance to opening the budget in 2014 — a sentiment echoed by House Ways and Means Chairman Tim Brown of Crawfordsville — Pence has called on lawmakers to defy their fiscal leaders.
Earlier this week, the governor again called for a measure to reduce income taxes on families with children as part of what he calls a plan to promote marriage and childbearing in Indiana.
Pence wants to increase the amount of earnings not subject to income tax from $1,000 per child to an unspecified, higher amount that would grow automatically based on inflation.
He's also called on the Legislature to eliminate the business personal property tax, expand the state's school voucher program for early childhood education for low-income children, and release $400 million in road funding set aside during the 2013 legislative session.
Kenley said the items on Pence's wish list "were all important issues and worthy of discussion." He added: "I don't think we'll see any real action on these until we get to 2015."
Kenley also said one of his priorities in the 2015 budget session will be restoring the $26 million in funding that Pence is pulling back from the state's public colleges and universities in 2014.
Kenley said college and university administrators had pledged to hold the line on tuition increases in return for more state dollars.
"I think they'll stand by that if we can reinstate their funding for 2015," he said.
The revised budget forecast came on the same day that Pence announced a drop in Indiana's unemployment rate. The jobless numbers dropped to 7.3 percent in November, though more than one-third of Indiana's counties remain above that number. The state's unemployment rate also continued to exceed the national average of 7 percent.
Indiana gained a record 25,300 private-sector jobs in November. The gains were broad-based and spread across all sectors except leisure and hospitality, which was flat.

"Right from the beginning my experience with GCI was stellar. When I initially sought to install a Control4 system, GCI took the time to explain all the ins and outs of the system so I could make an informed decision on what work needed to be done.
As a result, not only do I have an expertly designed and professionally installed system, Dan and Chris are always available to help with minor issues both related and unrelated to the work that was done. I couldn't be happier with the guys at GCI. I wholeheartedly recommend their work.My system is awesome!."

The recent move by the Food and Drug Administration to place greater controls over a range of pain-killing medication will make it more difficult for those who abuse or deal the drugs to procure them.
The question is, What took the FDA so long?
Four years ago, the Drug Enforcement Administration asked the FDA to consider stricter regulation of the distribution of so-called "hydrocodone-combination" drugs. At that point, the nation's ongoing epidemic of prescription drug abuse was already out of control.
Hydrocodone, itself, was already classified as a Schedule II drug, meaning that it is difficult to legally procure more than a 90-day supply without a new prescription from a physician. No phone or fax prescriptions are allowed.
But painkillers such as Vicodin and Lortab that combine hydrocodone with acetaminophen are not classified as Schedule II, and it is possible to receive six months worth of pills on refills from a single prescription.
The FDA's recommendation, after expected ratification by the DEA and the Department of Health and Human Resources, would place Vicodin, Lortab and their ilk — hydrocodone-combination drugs — on the Schedule II list.
This would be step forward in the complicated battle against the rising tide of prescription drug abuse across the country. Consider the following prescription painkiller statistics:
— Sales account for about $7.3 billion annually in the United States.
— Illegal prescription drug use and distribution is fast overtaking that of street drugs such as heroin and cocaine.
— About 15,000 people in the United States died in 2008 from prescription painkiller overdoses, up more than threefold from 1999.
— In 2009, about 500,000 emergency room visits sprung from misuse of prescription painkillers.
— Non-medical uses of these drugs costs health insurers an estimated $72.5 million each year. And, or course, those costs are passed along to those who pay health-insurance premiums.

- "they are slow" – there is some overhead in mapping, but it is nothing serious. Chances are you will have much slower pieces of code.
- "they generate bad queries which hurts performance" – first, it generates better queries than the regular developer would write, and second – it generates bad queries if you use bad mappings
- "they deprive you of control" – you are free to execute native queries
- "you don't need them, plain SQL and XDBC is fine" – no, but I'll discuss this in the next paragraph
- "they force you to have getters and setters which is bad" – your entities are simple value objects, and having setters/getters is fine there. More on this below
- database upgrade is hard – there are a lot of tools around the ORMs that make schema transition easy. Many ORMs have these tools built-in
- they are easy to misuse, which can lead to fetching huge, unnecessary results from the database. You can very easily create a crappy mapping which can slow down your application. Of course, it is your responsibility to have a good mapping, but ORMs don't really give you a hand there
- their session management is complicated, and although it is for very good reasons, it may require a very experienced person on the team to set things up properly

If buttfumble looked almost decent (except of course for the expected interceptions and fumbling brainfarts) against NE, far and away the worst defense in the league when giving up 20yd passing plays or more, I'd imagine Eli would have lit the Patriots up for somewhere between 500 and 600 yards and minimum 5 TDs.
ANNOUNCING a new FH smiley. Use it judiciously and selectively as to not diminish its impact!
Classic junc being junk thread.
kind of funny giving Taco credit for almost recovering from crapping the bed most of the game against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. And now he's blaming the jest D for not then holding up.
...but giving up several 4th and longs when Tannehill entrusted his late game lead to HIS D ain't the same thing cause it's a "fantasy number."
at what point has Ryan given his D a lead on the final drive and they have failed? it's happened twice to buttfumble so far this year.
DeAngelo Hall said:
http://washingtonexaminer.com/redski...5#.UIgl8I62sUVI could have thrown that ball and he would have scored. It wasnt something where he was a rocket scientist and he figured something out. We just played that as bad as possible.
How did I miss this thread? Is Junc really claiming Eli isn't an elite QB while at the same time blowing buttfumble per the usual... ****ing idiot this guy is.
Eli makes a throw to an open WR. "Meh. I can do that rather easily. Not impressed. Not elite." buttfumble makes a throw to an open WR'. "Absolute stud. Obviously better than Eli. Franchise QB to the highest degree."
buttfumble misses open WR while Eli doesn't. "You have no idea about this sport. Sorry but buttfumble's open WR wasn't nearly as open as Eli's, so your point is moot. Blame the WR, not buttfumble for being wide open by only 5 yards instead of 10. The wind was getting pressure on buttfumble so caused him to miss his WR, totally not his fault, blame the OL. The wind also caused the ball to float, poor buttfumble, getting no help from the weather while Eli gets perfect weather to make his throws."
You're a ****ing clown.
I'm here to tell the truth about top secret Air Force project BAR STOOL. Gamma ray radiation from the particle accelerator under Joe Robbie Stadium is real! Get out while you can! This bad football team is just a front for something far more sinister!

Public Drinking Water Systems by Size of Community Served and Source of Water: 2000 to 2005
The Statistical Abstract files are distributed by the US Census Department as Microsoft Excel files. These files have data mixed with notes and references, multiple tables per sheet, and, worst of all, the table headers are not easily matched to their rows and columns.
A few files had extraneous characters in the title. These were corrected to be consistent. A few files have a sheet of crufty gibberish in the first slot. The sheet order was shuffled but no data were changed.
The tables that were changed (this is table 923):
0166 0257 0362 0429 0445 0446 0459 0461 0462 0464 0465 0466 0467 0469 0479 0480 0481 0482 0483 0484 0485 0486 0487 0559 0628 0629 1144 1227 1231
This dataset consists of a table of 32 rows and 49 columns.
As of September. Covers systems that provide water for human consumption through pipes and other constructed conveyances to a least 15 service connections or serve an average of at least 25 persons for at least 60 days a year. Based on reported data in the Safe Drinking Water Information System maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency
- A public water system that supplies water to the same population year-round.
- A public water system that regularly supplies water to at least 25 of the same people at least 6 months per year, but not year-round.
Some examples are schools, factories, and office buildings which have their own water systems.
- A public water system that provides water in a place such as a gas station or
campground where people do not remain for long periods of time.

The bus driver and children involved in the Midland City school bus abduction were honored on Thursday by the Alabama State Board of Education.
State schools superintendent Tommy Bice spoke of Charles Poland's bravery and extraordinary sacrifice. Poland's widow, Mary Janice, and his daughter, Lydia Poland Hancock, accepted the honors.
Poland - known as Chuck - died January 29 when a gunman forced his way onto the Dade County school bus he was driving and demanded two children be handed over. Poland resisted, allowing all students but one to escape.
A permanent memorial to Poland's heroism has been installed outside the state superintendent's office in Montgomery.
Poland's bravery has been recognized by the Alabama Legislature and the U.S. Congress.
The students were presented with proclamations and lauded for their actions.

Understanding Comics (original 1993; edition 1993)
by Scott McCloud
Work details
Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud (1993)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Who knew that there is an academic approach to comics? This is the first of Scott McCloud's three books on the subject of comics, and of course it is presented in comic format. My younger son, who is a comics and manga fan, and I read this side-by-side and we learned a lot. Next time I pick up a graphic novel, what I've learned here will probably give me a fresh eye on "how it's done".
Scott McCloud published this classic in 1992 after 15 years thinking about and trying to understand comics. In comic book form he comes up with a useful definition of comics, traces its history, and uses drawings to "illustrate" ideas and theories. The book's drawings are clever and creative and the narrative's almost philosophical musings on art, language, and the specific medium of comics can at times be conceptually difficult. Nevertheless, this serious book is a must have for those adults who held on to their childhood comic book collection or never let this passion fade. After reading Understanding Comics it's safe to say that you'll have a deeper appreciation of graphic novels and the artists who create them.
And now I do, a lot better than I did before. And if you want to write one, and you haven't been reading comics since you were ten, there's a lot to learn.
I put off reading this book for a while because it took me almost a semester to slog through his other book on the future of comics. Finally picked it up for a class this next semester, and found it to actually be really good - real in-depth look at the science/history behind comics.
Understanding Comics is a pretty clever book, using the medium of comics to talk seriously about comics -- which is very likely to be dismissed by those who either insist comics should all be fun (and therefore if they're not interested in this, it's no good) or all comics are fun (and therefore have no serious value). That's a mistake. I hadn't heard of this before I started the Coursera course I'm doing on comics, but I don't need any prompting to take it seriously.
Possibly my favourite insight from it is about the idea of closure -- the space between panels during which the reader has to figure out what's happening -- and how that makes the reader complicit in every act in a comic.

Wikipedia in English (13)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 006097625X, Paperback)A comic book about comic books. McCloud, in an incredibly accessible style, explains the details of how comics work: how they're composed, read and understood. More than just a book about comics, this gets to the heart of how we deal with visual languages in general. "The potential of comics is limitless and exciting!" writes McCloud. This should be required reading for every school teacher. Pulitzer Prize-winner Art Spiegelman says, "The most intelligent comics I've seen in a long time."
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:43:01 -0400)
Praised throughout the cartoon industry by such luminaries as Art Spiegelman, Matt Groening, and Will Eisner, this innovative comic book provides a detailed look at the history, meaning, and art of comics and cartooning.

The Trenton Central High School football team, the Tornadoes, is currently having what might be considered a miraculous season with an undefeated record of 6-0. This is from a team that had only won a total of four games over the previous several seasons.
However, it's not all fun and games. The city of Trenton is known to be rough around the edges. Just in 2013 alone there have been 34 murders which break's the state's capital record and the year isn't eve over.
The Tornadoes are comprised of mostly young African-Americans who play the sport in order to help stay out of trouble. Sadly, every single member of the football team has lost a family member or close friend to gun violence.
And in July, team member, Shakir Williams, 17, was killed at a party in Hamilton. The team's helmets honor Williams with an SW sticker on the back.
Jamel Kely, TCHS football player and Williams' best friend says, "It still hurts every day. I grew up with him, it was very difficult, but football gives me comfort."
Coach Tarig Holman has been a real support system for these players and has challenged these kids daily. He does this by making them wake up every morning during the summer Monday-Sunday at 6a.m. Now that school is in session, practice is in the morning, and if they don't get an A in school, they have to answer to the coach.
Before their game against Allentown, Holman said in the locker room, "This is our home; this is our home, and our family's out there. So my question is, 'What do you do when someone comes to your house, and puts a damn sledge hammer in your family room?' You stand up and you kick their ass."
Holman often uses violent imagery to help motivate these kids, which might come off in a negative way to people who don't come from rough neighborhoods, but the kids seem to understand where the coach is coming from which helps them look up to him.
The team is also helped by Trenton cops, who act as assistant coaches.
Officer Jamar Booker says, "This is my school, this is my city, I love my school, I love my city, and 18 years ago, believe it or not, I was one of them. I was in their position. Playing football, I could have gotten in trouble but fortunately, I didn't, but I didn't have really anybody to come back to and look after me, so I wanted to make sure I could do that for these kids."
The team has rallied around Coach Holman's motto, "One of the ways to succeeding is to always stick together".

Introducing the Cordless Door Chime Entry Alert
Unfortunately, most intruders don't ring doorbells before they come in. This is kind of an obvious statement, but it was said to get you thinking. Wouldn't it be nice if you could make your door sound when no doorbell is rung? Using a cordless door chime would make for quick installation and be an excellent security measure. It is never too early to start thinking about protecting your home, so why not start with a quick, simple solution like the cordless door chime entry alert?
The Advantages To the Cordless Doorbell
The cordless door chime is a device that activates every time a sensor detects the opening of a door. Now, when no one is supposed to be in the house, the cordless door chime can be activated, causing the "chimer" to sound a high-pitched, loud alarm that will scare off any thief or intruder.
These can make excellent first steps in adding security measures to your home. Cordless door chimes can be bought in almost any hardware store for very little cost compared to other security measures. You can usually get your hands on a rudimentary cordless door chime for under $40, depending on the brand.
Now, obviously, you don't want to go too cheap, as you may fear that it will not work when the time comes, so it is best to go with the "midrange" option. You will get good reliability out of the unit without all the extra bells and whistles you don't need.
One of the nicest parts about cordless door chime units is the fact that they are incredibly easy to install. The reason is that they are… well… cordless! The system already recognizes the signal from its corresponding sensor, so all you have to do is place the batteries for the chime unit, screw the sensor to the door and transom, and you have an installed door chime.
How the cordless door chime works is that when the sensor picks up the opening of a door, it immediately sends a wireless signal to the "chimer". This chimer then recognizes and lets out a soft tune. If the system is armed, however, that tune turns into a high-pitch, sharp, and very loud sound that will have any intruder terrified. The idea is that when the intruder hears the noise, they will cease their criminal activities and rapidly exit the premises.
At a Glance
The cordless door chime is a great first step if you are hoping to begin to secure your home. Now, this should not be the extent of your security project, but is a great place to start. Using sound to scare off an intruder is a wonderful way to keep your home safe, but eventually, you will want to utilize the ability to have your system notify the police automatically. One of the best parts about these cordless door chime units is that they are actually the base for more advanced systems, meaning that you will be able to use the same sensors that you've already installed.

cschock says: Interesting premise, competent implementation and remarkable replay potential make Arcanum a very good CRPG. A definite keeper.
cschock says: If you like Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and always wanted a faithful PC version, this is your game. Even if you never tried the pen and paper game, Baldur's Gate is an RPG with depth, style, and the looks to match.
cschock says: Some of the most hilarious dialog in any computer game ever made is voiced by your Imp Man Servant in Baldur's Gate 2. Almost worth the price for this alone, but then you also get 100+ hours of CRPG fun as well. BONUS!
cschock says: Caesar III is a deep and absorbing game. It has a lot of detail, which I really liked. Overall, it does an excellent job of blending construction, management, and strategy.
cschock says: If you like space combat games, Freespace 2 was the best to come along in years. A strong combination of single and multiplayer fun that made a convincing claim on the crown of "Best Space Sim Series."
cschock says: Despite the differences, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is more a subtle refinement of the second game in the series than a really new experience. And that's good since you don't want to screw up a classic.
cschock says: I-War borrows the best bits from other games and then dumps a whole load of originality on them. The result is a slick and well presented game with great graphics and excellent playability.
cschock says: If you at all liked Baldur's Gate, there is no reason to put off buying Icewind Dale. While shorter on plot, it has more combat action. Think massive dungeon crawl!
cschock says: Possibly the only game with a 1970's funk soundtrack ever made. Plus some fun auto combat as well!
cschock says: The Magnum Opus from Black Isle Studios, more text dialog than you can shake a stick at with plenty of game play to move things along.
cschock says: Sanitarium delivers the complete package. It begins with a first rate story and combines it seamlessly with the puzzles to make an excellent graphic adventure.
cschock says: Shogo: Mobile Armor Division followed in the story-driven shooter tradition of Jedi Knight but did so with a style and flair all its own.
cschock says: Alpha Centauri has that elusive "oh crap its 4 am and I have to go to work at 8" quality that is the hallmark of a great game.
cschock says: I found Thief: The Dark Project an entirely engrossing game. Its' combination of interesting story, completely unique game play, and the need to use your wits not your trigger finger make it a standout in a sea of conformity.
cschock says: Thief II: The Metal Age, is a deep, interesting, fun to play game that provides a wonderful dose of something completely different in an age when clones of clones and corporate risk aversion left us with far too much dross and far too little gold.
cschock says: The most complete FPS package I ever played. Strong solo and multiplayer game play and with all of the user made maps and mods you have a game that stood the test of time.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

If you bought it from a reputable online dealer, it isn't a clone. You just happened to get a Tenacious that was poorly sharpened. That's not common on Spydercos, but it does happen occasionally, even on the more expensive ones. They're sharpened by hand, by human beings.
If you bought it some other way, then it's probably not a clone. AFAIK, no Tenacious clones have been reported yet. Granted, that's no guarantee, but it's a pretty good indicator.
Bottom line - purchasing from reputable dealers is the best defense against knock offs.

This was the kind of game Effingham coach Jeff Schafer was expecting last month.
Effingham bested Newton by 25 points in the team's November matchup during their Thanksgiving tournament. But Newton gave Effingham a run for the money Monday night, with the Hearts winning 63-53.
"I thought their girls played really well," Schafer said.
Newton led for much of the first half, extending their lead to 25-18 at one point.
The Flaming Hearts answered going on an 8-0 into the half to take a 26-25 lead.
"That was big, I told them 'You guys found a way to take the lead,'" Schafer said. "We made them take tough shots."
Newton coach Brad Harris agreed that Effingham's late surge changed the game.
"They hit some big shots," Harris said. "We have two-minute letdowns that cost us."
The Eagles tied the game midway through the third quarter, with two free throws by Megan Jansen tying the game at 33-33.
But Effingham responded with six straight points on a free throw by Lauren Stephenson, a Stephanie Robb layup and a three pointer by Josie Zerrusen.
Netwon continued threatening throughout, trailing by just four heading into the fourth. The Eagles cut the lead to 44-43 behind Emily Kerner's only five points, but would never get closer. Effingham extended the lead to 52-46, and iced the game at the free throw line.
Caitlin Kaufman had 10 of her 20 points in the fourth quarter, making five of six free throws to help put away the game.
The Hearts were 14 of 18 in the fourth quarter from the free-throw line, and made almost all of them down the stretch.
"We made them when it was close, we made them we were up just two or three," Schafer said.
For Newton, it was about playing hard early and putting pressure on the hosting Hearts.
"We came out with a lot more intensity and aggression (than in November)," Harris said. "The girls played very hard.
"It was huge. It's a big step forward, and we can play with the top teams in the area," Harris said.
Kaufman led all scorers with 20 points. Zerrusen added 16 points and nine rebounds for Effingham, and Kelli Utz had 10 points and eight rebounds.
Jansen topped the Eagles with 16 points. Andrea Cartright had 11 points and four rebounds off the bench, and Morgan Swingler had six points and six rebounds.
While the intensity picked up for Effingham late, they were rewarded on the hustle plays, Schafer said.
"The loose balls and rebounds evened out," Schafer said.
Effingham had 27 rebounds on the day, while Newton had 26.
Newton (9-4) travels to face Paris Thursday night, while Effingham (8-3) hosts Cahokia Friday night.
Effingham 63, Newton 53
Newton 13 12 12 16 - 53
Effingham 11 15 15 22 - 63
Newton - Jansen 16, Cartright 11, Will 7, Swingler 6, Kerner 5, Bierman 4, Wirth 2, Stewart 2
Effingham - Kaufman 20, Zerrusen 16, Utz 10, Robb 9, Michael 6, Stephenson 2

****, my problem has always been the opposite. Typically people are bigger and stronger then me so I am used to relying on my speed and technique. There is also plenty of room for me to move around them. The people who give me the most problems ironically are guys my size and speed. Not used to dealing with people as fast as me and it turns into a friggen cat fight blur of action. Good for the 'ol cardio though.
As for the push on the hips escape. Easily solved when they tuck in their legs or grapevine.

It was funny wathcing him roll because he was always just a little better than the guy he was with. One minute you'd see him with a blue and think "man, is that all he's got". Then you'd see him with another black and he'd still just barely be ahead. But he was always ahead whether playing light and fast against a purple or big and strong against a black. Weird.

He ended up just forcing my body to the mat and getting a kimura.
Hence my recent obsession with improving my bottom game.
On the other hand, a guy that weighed about 400 pounds used to train at our school, and he actually had fairly good technique for his size. He was pretty gentle.
For me, learning good technique has always been a result of me asking myself "Can I do what I'm doing right now for the next 20 minutes, or will my muscles tire out from it?" For the basic game, if the answer is "I'm going to get really tired," then I try to relax, stop using strength, and pick a better option."No. Listen to me because I know what I'm talking about here." -- Hannibal
I don't know that there's anything horribly wrong with using alotta strength in rolling, so long as you've the stamina to keep using it for awhile and you work low intensity also to keep up your technique.
In fact, one of the problems I've had is going too soft most of the time. Then just last night I was rolling relatively light with one of our blue belts about my weight (although stocky rather than lean) and we turned it up about 20 times, I latched onto my armlock (trademark move) when he went to his side, rolled him over and threw my leg over for kimura. Before the guy even tapped his arm popped. He claims he tapped before he screamed in pain, I swear to god he didn't and he definately didn't say 'tap', but man it made me feel like **** the rest of the night.
Why am I going on about this? Well, the trouble I've had is that while I have some training partners who are tougher than steel and can stand your whole body cranking an RNC on them and then go on to tap you 30 min of nonstop rolling later, some guys just aren't built that way and their physique is not always the best indicated of that toughness. And so when you train with tough guys and using a ton of strength all the time, you can hurt other dudes unintentionally, even with good technique. This had been my main problem and hurting your training partners really really bites.
Style: BJJ--Originally Posted by Raynor
Try to visualise this. My thumb and the side of my first fingers are pushing into the groove formed between your hips and the top of your thighs. My palm is generally barely touching your thigh.
In addition, what you're describing takes time Unless you happen to have an exceptional mount, you are going to go flying if confronted by someone good with this escape. It's a little impractical to execute this while the guy you're sitting on is bucking like a bronco.
(To put this into perspective: I can count the people who've stayed on me for 30 seconds or longer in the last two years on one hand. Two of them were black belts. I still have a finger left over)
Best defense, IMO, against a good mount escape is to bail to side-control or knee-ride when you feel destabilized.
Style: BJJ--
The way I perform my mount escape, my palms are sitting on my opponent's thighs. Putting the palm heels on the hips is actually less energy-efficient then doing it my preferred way of using thumb and forefingers in the groove between hips and thighs, and it opens you up to your wrist lock.
Honestly, I'd think of the wristlock against mount escape as a move that wouldn't really work against someone of much technical skill.

If you're just hurling the guy off you, you're a douche.
When I started bjj I was always the strongest or closest to strongest guy on the mat (of course I haven't lifted consistently since, so much for my 400lb bench). Even now, without regular lifting, I'm quite strong for my weight. Putting that aside is the best thing you can do for your game. And it's always there when you compete. Or if some former allstate hs wrestler weighing 220 wants to show the small guys (I'm down to 190) what's up and you want to assmaster him physically and technically.

With the help of an experienced, proven real estate agent, the Minnesota short sale homes process can be simple and stress-free. Before beginning the short sale process it is extremely important to find the most professional short sale agent on the market. With the help of the Short Sale Calculator and the Kris Lindahl Short Sale Team, homeowners will find that the short sale process is easier than ever. Once an experienced agent has been selected then that agent will list the home and market it to a buyer. When a buyer is found a purchase agreement will be written up and the seller will sign the contract assuming the terms are agreeable to the seller. The agreement will then be submitted to the bank which will ask for a few documents to be provided including a hardship letter, pay stubs, financial worksheets, etc., although these are not always required. The bank will issue an approval letter and on average the short sale will conclude within 45 days. With the Kris Lindahl team at the helm you can count on a smooth, effortless process.

CATEGORIES MoviesHunky Chris Hemsworth is moving right along with his career. The star of 'Thor' and the upcoming 'Snow White and the Huntsman' and 'The Avengers' is in talks to attach his muscle-bound arms to a Formula One race car steering wheel for Ron Howard's actioner 'Rush.' The film, written by Peter Morgan ('Frost/Nixon,' 'Hereafter'), centers on race car driver James Hunt (Hemsworth) and his rivalry with Niki Lauda for Formula One circuit dominance in the 1970s. If all goes well, the project will get a checkered flag for production early next year. [Deadline]
Kristen Wiig, who has parlayed her gig on 'Saturday Night Live' into a series of co-starring comedy roles leading up to her big splash in 'Bridesmaids,' is getting serious with 'Imogene,' a project she will produce and star in that centers on a moderately successful New York playwright who fakes a suicide attempt in order to win back her ex-boyfriend, only to be put under the custody of her mother, a gambler, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film, which is to be directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini ('Cinema Verite') will begin production Aug. 8 in New York City.
Documentarian Errol Morris, who usually deals with cold facts, will now be dealing with cold bodies in his first major fiction film, based on a segment of Ira Glass' 'This American Life' called 'You're As Cold As Ice.' That Public Radio International broadcast dealt with Bob Nelson, a television repairman who developed an interest in cryonics -- freezing people -- and became the president of the Cryonics Society of California. Unfortunately, some of the nine people in the cyrogenic state defrosted because of poor maintenance and a scandal ensued. First cast member for the untitled film is Paul Rudd. [TheWrap]
British actress Ruth Wilson is in negotiations to play the female lead in Disney's 'The Lone Ranger,' the Gore Verbinski Western that stars Armie Hammer as the masked man and Johnny Depp as Tonto. The film has a Dec. 21, 2012 release date. [Deadline]
'Saturday Night Live's' Will Forte has joined the gigantic cast of Adam Shankman's adaptation of the Broadway musical 'Rock of Ages,' which focuses on the 1980s hair music scene on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip. Tom Cruise, Malin Akerman, Alec Baldwin, Bryan Cranston, Mary J. Blige, Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti, Julianne Hough, Catherine Zeta-Jones and newcomer Diego Gonzalez Boneta star. Forte will play a TV newscaster (a part not in the play). [The Hollywood Reporter]

In 1902, Otis Brown (1872-1958) came to this area as a member of a Chicago, Rock Island & Gulf Railway survey crew. The crew was constructing a rail line between Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. While surveying the line, crew chief J. O. Schulze joined with Brown in buying land along the route and establishing the town of Irving, Texas, in December 1903.
In the fall of 1902, Otis Brown met local schoolteacher Netta Barcus (1880-1958). The two married in June of 1903 and built the first house in the soon-to-be-established town of Irving. The couple had their first child in 1905. It was during 1905 that the Browns decided to have a larger house (and the subject of this collection) built on Iowa Street (now O'Connor Road). The Browns lived in this house until 1919, as their family grew to five sons. While living here, Otis Brown was elected Irving's first mayor in 1914. His youngest son Lynn served as Irving's mayor from 1959-1967.
Through the decades, the house changed ownership several times and by the 1970s it had fallen into disrepair. In 1979, Morris and Marge Parrish purchased the home and restored and added on to it. The Parrishes were active in the community, and in 1995 Morris Parrish was elected mayor of Irving.
This photo collection shows the house during its earliest days, as well as the young Brown family, who brought life to the home.

The Timken Co. simplified interchanges to Timken driveline center support truck bearings by converting its parts nomenclature to align with familiar industry part numbers.
This change makes it faster and easier for customers to find the right Timken driveline center support bearings, also called hanger bearings, for major truck applications.
For customer convenience during this transition, the systems and packaging feature both the original and updated part numbers.
Timken driveline center support bearings have robust brackets made of reinforced heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel for strength and durability. A rubber cushion inside each bracket provides support to absorb and isolate vibrations, extending service life in rough environments.
Timken bearing inserts are pre-greased and pre-sealed with an additional grease barrier between the bearing retainer caps and sealed bearing to extend bearing life.
