Throckmorton can no longer be considered underdogs
Don't expect Throckmorton to be content after winning a state championship last season.
"I don't think complacency should be a problem," Throckmorton coach Mike Reed said. "There's no sense of entitlement. They know they'll have to work harder than everybody else."
While sky-high expectations are always the same for the Greyhounds, they'll have a different mentality in 2012.
During last season's run, Reed's squad rallied around an underdog role. But the Greyhounds are ranked No. 1 by multiple websites and won't be able to tap into the us-against-the-world approach.
"I think our kids are ready to embrace that," Reed said. "They'll work hard to stay on top. I have no hesitation of the guys who I'll be taking to battle."
Throckmorton's young defense steadily improved last season and should be a strength, returning five starters.
Nathan Riley moves from linebacker to safety, joining juniors Trinity Haggard (nose guard) and Rawlin Morrell (safety). Defensive end Gary Farquhar and linebacker Levi Taylor were two-way starters in 2011.
Farquhar and Taylor are the only offensive holdovers, but the playmakers will provide plenty of spark for a versatile offense.
Taylor rushed for 1,904 yards and 22 touchdowns in sharing backfield duties, while Farquhar's 6-5 height and speed are a matchup nightmare for the opposition. He had 1,274 yards receiving last year and was an all-state selection.
Blayton Oliver takes over quarterback duties, while Morrell and Haggard will receive carries at tailback.
Riley and Hayden Farquhar are possibilities at center.
"We have a good core of running backs with experience," said Reed, who doesn't expect an offensive drop-off from 2011, when the Greyhounds averaged 71 points. "Oliver did a great job behind Tucker Brown, and our receiving corps could be better than it was last year."
Throckmorton has qualified for the past two Six-Man Division I title games. It also hasn't lost during the regular season since 2008.
While a switch in regions will make it tougher for the Greyhounds to return to Abilene's Shotwell Stadium for a third championship berth, they will be one of the top contenders once the playoffs begin.
Head coach: Mike Reed (fifth year)
Last year's record: 14-0 (Won Six-Man Div. I state title)

"Seefeld in Tyrol" Top 5 Page for this destination Seefeld in Tirol by Gerrem
Seefeld in Tirol Travel Guide: 51 reviews and 107 photos
I really love Seefeld. I went there several times in winter with my parents and my brother. Seefeld is a lovely town with a own spirit. It's mountains are not as high as the mountains of other wintersport towns in Austria but it has more atmosphere. We went there I think for six or seven times in winter and two or three times in summer. In summer you can do mountain climbing and walking and also swimming in one of the nearby lakes.
Even the ancient Romans knew that Seefeld was a centre of attention - and that it always would be. These days it is a multi-faceted resort that is a magnet for guests from all over the world and combines nature, sport, wellness and a holiday atmosphere into one attractive package.
Where else do the cross-country skiing tracks run straight past the famous symbol of the resort - the Seekirchl ("lake-chapel")? Where else can you find a pedestrian area, an indoor swimming pool, a golf course, a congress centre and a casino right next to one another? And all of this is surrounded by the magnificent mountain scenery of the Karwendel Alpine Park and the Wetterstein range.
Tthe world-renowned resort of Seefeld, has 25 cable cars and lifts, and 250 km of cross-country ski tracks, it is everybody's winter ski resort dream-come-true. Seefeld is also the continuing host to many world class ski competitions.

How credible are credit rating agencies?
The cloud of doubt surrounding the activities of some rating agencies whose pronouncements in the past are at variance with the true state of affairs may have created a lot of credibility gap in the system, reports Ibrahim Apekhade Yusuf
THERE is complete dissonance between reality and the picture painted by most of these rating agencies out there.
This was the submission made by experts at a public forum in Lagos recently.
The experts who pulled a lot of punches were unsparing of their criticisms of Standard and Poors, Fitch and Moodys, touted as the world's biggest three rating agencies.
Firing the first salvo, Dr. Chris Onalo, Registrar/Chief Executive, Institute of Credit Administration (ICA), in an interview with The Nation expressed dissatisfaction with the ratings carried out by some of these agencies, especially in the country.
The outcome of their findings, according to him, "could be suspect because there is paucity of reliable data to work with compared to what obtains abroad."
Citing a hypothetical situation, the Kogi-state born technocrat observed that there is a sense in which the results of the surveys conducted by some of these agencies could be doctored.
"Where a state government invites these rating agencies like say S& P to score its performance bearing in mind there are obvious gaps in what is being reported when compared to the reality on ground, this is bad practice in credit management", he stressed.
Echoing similar views, Dr. Austin Nweze, of the Pan African University also acknowledge the fact that the challenge of proper data is at the centre of the credibility crisis plaguing most of these rating agencies.
Specifically, he said the National Bureau of Statistics and the Central Bank of Nigeria, often trade figures and records that are incorrect, thereby leaving a lot of room for conjecture.
In a related development, the Federal Government on Wednesday revealed that Nigeria is now classified as a lower middle-income country with total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of N10 trillion.
The classification, which the government admitted has not practically translated into improved standards of living for the citizens, was as a result of the movement of the nation's income per capita from $1,200 to $1,400.
Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Yerima Lawan Ngama, told journalists at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting yesterday that Nigeria is now the third fastest growing economy in the world with last year's growth rate of 7.68 per cent.
According to him, Nigeria is queuing behind Mongolia with 14.9 per cent real growth rate and China with 8.4 per cent real GDP growth rate.
Ngama, who briefed journalists alongside with Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, disclosed that the 7.68 per cent growth came largely from agriculture. But he admitted that the growth rate might not have translated into improved standard of living for Nigerians because of "great income disparity within the country."
According to the minister of state, "the gap between the poor and the rich in Nigeria might be the longest in Africa. We must ensure inclusive growth, growth that is just and well distributed. But the potential of the Nigerian economy show clearly that this country is still the number one destination for investment. Besides, as we tackle the other challenges delaying our growth, it shows clearly that there is a lot of confidence in the Nigerian economy. We, as a result, will now work harder on our competitiveness."
He explained that "for the quarter which ended on December 31, 2011, Nigeria was third in terms of GDP growth. We recorded a GDP growth of 7.68 per cent in real terms and this is largely due to growth in the non-oil sector. The previous year, 2010, the GDP growth was 8.4 per cent but last year, it dropped to 7.68 per cent because we had a negative growth in the oil sector. So, it means that the non-oil sector is actually resilient and strong enough to carry the economy forward with or without the oil sector.
"But the more important story out of it is that as a nation, we have our Vision 20-2020, we have the objective of having one of the world strongest economies by the year 20-2020. All the other countries, apart from China, that are ahead of Nigeria are growing at a slower rate than Nigeria. When those ahead of you are growing slower, it means that in the next eight years, we will achieve our objective of being one of the strongest economies in the world. As at last December, our total GDP was more that N10 trillion. And that is a growth that is unprecedented, despite our challenges."
On using locally-produced products to execute Federal Government contracts, the President asked the Minister of Trade and Investment, Dr. Olusegun Aganga, to list out all items that can be produced within Nigeria.
A high ranking on the ease of doing business index means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. This index averages the country's percentile rankings on 10 topics, made up of a variety of indicators, giving equal weight to each topic. The rankings for all economies are bench marked to June 2011.
On ease of starting a business, Nigeria was ranked 116. For obtaining a construction permit, 84th, getting electricity for a local firm was ranked 176th and for registering property, 180th.
For getting credit, 78th and for protecting investors it ranked 65th while it came a distant 138th for paying taxes.
For trading across borders it scored 149 and pooled 97th for enforcing contracts and for resolving insolvency it ranked 99th.
It would be recalled that S&P last year expressed confidence in the Nigerian economy, as it upgraded its outlook on the country's credit rating to positive, from stable.
The upgrade, according to a statement by the rating agency, is inspired by the restructuring undertaken by the Federal Government and the strengthening of the banking sector.
Standard and Poor's also affirmed Nigeria's current rating — 'B+/B' long-and short-term issuer credit ratings and the 'ngA+/ngA-1' long- and short-term Nigeria national scale ratings, while the transfer and convertibility (T&C) assessment remains unchanged at 'B+'. At 'B+/B', Nigeria is three steps away from the minimum investment grade.
Criticisms against credit rating agencies
Credit rating agencies do not downgrade companies promptly enough. For example, Enron's rating remained at investment grade four days before the company went bankrupt, despite the fact that credit rating agencies had been aware of the company's problems for months. Or, for example, Moody's gave Freddie Mac preferred stock the top rating until Warren Buffett talked about Freddie on CNBC and on the next day Moody's downgraded Freddie to one tick above junk bonds. Some empirical studies have documented that yield spreads of corporate bonds start to expand as credit quality deteriorates but before a rating downgrade, implying that the market often leads a downgrade and questioning the informational value of credit ratings.
It is however instructive to note that Agusto & Co's Credit Ratings, a foremost rating agency in the country is widely acclaimed locally and globally.
According to a source at the company, who would not be named, "Augusto relies on a database of information that it has built since 1992."
Augusto is the only company in Nigeria to periodically provide in-depth reports on at least 20 sectors of the economy, which includes: banking, insurance, oil & gas ( upstream & downstream), textiles, breweries, cement, telecommunication, spare parts, construction, personal care, pharmaceuticals, rice, sugar, hotels, soft drinks, real estate, aviation, asset management.

3 thoughts on "Paul Pope"
There's a scene in one of the Fantomas stories – can't remember which one – in which Fantomas stuffs his victim's pockets with gemstones and strings him up in one of the bells of Notre Dame. The bell strikes, shattering the poor bastard's body and sending blood and diamonds showering down on the streets of Paris…fantastic stuff.
Oh dear god, Paul Pope doing French pulp characters…

Holy crap, what is it from and when/how can I get it?

|2 , beaten
|Ground black pepper
|To Taste
|Spring onions
|3 , cut into tiny rounds (Green Parts Only, To Garnish)

1. Mince the chicken in a food processor or blender, taking care not to over-process. Transfer the chicken to a bowl and stir in the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, cornflour, water, sesame oil and seasoning. Cover and leave for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavours.
2. Heat a wok over a medium heat.
Add the groundnut oil and swirl it around. Add the ginger and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add the stock, creamed sweetcorn and sweetcorn kernels. Bring to just below boiling point.
3. Spoon about 90ml/6 tbsp of the hot liquid into the chicken mixture and stir until it forms a smooth paste. Add to the wok. Slowly bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until cooked.
4. Pour the beaten eggs into the soup in a slow, steady stream, using a fork or chopsticks to stir the top of the soup in a figure-of-eight pattern. The egg should set in lacy threads. Serve immediately with the spring onions sprinkled over.

So I really don't understand what you are trying to claim by bringing up Lopez.
Another thing you fail to bring up is how a boxing event has any economic effect on other states or how it is interstate commerce at all.
I believe the only thing you would have to try to make that argument is raich, but it seems to me that only passed because Scalia was heavily anti-drugs and openly contradicted his earlier stance.
They do, most notably the Raich v gonzales, but that would be the case for the court to decide. It is my opnion that they do not have the constitutional authority to do so.
Much of what you just wrote makes little or no sense and is predicated on a great deal of misunderstanding.
delineates the three things that Congress can regulate under its Commerce Clause power. As stated. Boxing falls under #3: it is an activity that has a substantial effect on interstate commerce.
To clear up a bit of your misunderstanding: The facts of the Lopez case involved what the Court found to be activity that did not substantially impact interstate commerce, toting a gun in a school zone. which is why the law in question failed (the 1990 Gun-Free School Zone Act). It didn't fit under any of the three categories. Boxing clearly does.

"Oh, don't believe none of that stuff," Eleanor Costantino, another senior citizen at the hot dog shop, told me when I asked her if she was worried about Romney-Ryan taking away Medicare. "It's all nothing but a bunch of lies!"
"He's going to save Medicare," chimed in Eleanor's friend Karen Combs from Cortland, Ohio. "There's $700 billion under Obamacare coming out of Medicare, and seniors should be more frightened over that."

Due to its power, simplicity, and complete object model, Python has become the scripting language of choice for many large organizations, including Google, Yahoo, and IBM. In Python 3 Essential Training, Bill Weinman demonstrates how to use Python 3 to create well-designed scripts and maintain existing projects. This course covers the basics of the language syntax and usage, as well as advanced features such as objects, generators, and exceptions. Example projects include a normalized database interface and a complete working CRUD application. Exercise files accompany the course.
Reading and writing text files in Python is really very simple. Let's make a working copy of files.py. files-working.py. Open that working copy and we see that we have the simple loop here that reads lines of a file and prints them to the screen. So if we run that, we see there is our lines of file, print it to the screen, and here is our input file. So, we can see that that's exactly the same. Now, if we wanted to, instead of bringing that to the screen, if we wanted to write it to a file, we could do that.
Simply change this to infile, so we can have a separate one for outfile, outfile equals open and we'll call this new.txt. We will open that for write. And we will open this one here for read. It defaults to read but if I am going to specify write, then I am going to want to also specify read. This is called infile, and all we have to do here is to say file equals outfile, And now that print is going to print the outfile instead of to the screen.
And as we don't have anything coming to the screen, I am just going to print done here. So we know that we have gotten to this point. We get some feedback on the screen. I will save that and I will run it and it says done. If I refresh the file system here, which Eclipse does not do by itself, you can see there is a new.txt and it's got our five lines of text in it. So that is just a very simple way to write to a text file. Obviously, it doesn't have to be something you are reading from another text file.
You can generate your own whatever and write it out to a text file very easily, using print and the File parameter for print. Let's say that what we are doing is not necessarily line oriented. Let's say that maybe we have a very large file with thousands of lines of text, And we don't really need to read them and write them line by line. We want to do it in some bigger chunks. So I have a file here called bigfile.txt and you will notice it is a really big file of text. It has 10,000 lines of text in it.
If we look at the properties, we can see that it's 320,000 bytes. It's 300k. So, let's go ahead and open that one instead, and call it bigfile.txt and we are going to read this in what's called buffered mode, instead of doing it line by line. We will set a buffer size and I will say that's going to be 50,000 bytes. It's 300,000 bytes, so it will give us a few chunks and then we are going to start by filling our buffer, infile.read and buffersize and then instead of this here, I am going to use a While loop, because the Read method on the file handle object is not an iterable.
So we can't use a For loop, so we are going to use a While loop. We are going to say while the length of buffer. And so as long as our buffer is not empty then we will outfile.write buffer. That's really all there is to it. We read it again in the loop, so that we are not just writing the same buffer forever. So I am going to write buffer = infile.read buffersize and after we do the write, let's just print a dot to the screen, so we have some feedback that we are doing something, dot, end, equals nothing.
So this will just print dots on the screen right next to each other, and we are all done. Before the Done, we are going to want to print a blank line. So we will go ahead and save that and run it and we see we have got a handful of dots there. It means that we have written something and we refresh our file system and take a look at the properties of new.txt and it's exactly 320,000 bytes. We will open that up and there is all of our lines of text in there. So what we have done here is we simply read it in a few big chunks and obviously 50,000 bytes is very small by today's standard.
Your buffers can be bigger than that or if you are on a mobile device or something small, maybe you do want them that small. We just did that this way for illustration, but this shows you how you can read and write in buffered I/O mode. So it allows you to deal with bigger chunks of files than just line by line. So that's how simple it is to read and write text files in Python and we will discuss reading and writing binary files in a separate lesson.

Kirsty Revell, a specialist registrar in obstetrics and gynaecology at the Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton, Hampshire, said 90% of headaches experienced by mothers-to-be were a result of migraine or tension and usually improved or stopped during the last six months of pregnancy. But a small percentage were caused by potentially life-threatening neurological conditions.
Ms Revell said: "Some headache types can be more dangerous and an indication that something is seriously wrong."

The National Juniors in training last year. National Juniors coach S. Arulselvaraj wants them to train together in preparation for next year's Junior Asia Cup.
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Juniors will be barred from playing in Division One of the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL), which begins on March 16.
Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, who chaired the executive board meeting on Tuesday, said that the juniors would not be allowed to feature in the MHL "because of national interest".
"National Juniors coach S. Arulselvaraj wants them to train together in preparation for next year's Junior Asia Cup, which is the qualifying tournament for the 2016 Junior World Cup, which will be held in New Delhi.
"We want to prepare a solid team for next year's Junior Asia Cup ... and also put up a strong challenge in the 2016 Junior World Cup," said Tengku Abdullah.
Malaysia finished a respectable fourth in the Junior World Cup in New Delhi last December.
Arulselvaraj will use the ongoing Under-19 MHC-Milo-NSC Malaysian Junior Hockey League (MHJL) to call up about 45 players for training.
The MHL Division One is expected to end on May 18.
Tengku Abdullah, however, said that the National Juniors will feature in the Razak Cup in Kuantan in August.
"The Juniors will also play in the Premier Division of MHL in October," said Tengku Abdullah, who hopes to get at least eight teams to feature in the national women's hockey league, which also begins on March 16.
The closing date for entry to the women's league, which offers a total prize money of RM33,000, is Feb 28.

Re: Intrepid Updates
I've always thought it should be treated as a non-issue, which is why I'm not hugely upset that Star Trek's never really tackled it head on. I simply don't think they could have done it without making it an issue, and I'm glad we seemed to succeed in doing that here.
I think Blood and Fire's problem (and that problem may be entirely subjective) is that it tries a little too hard to show Kirk and his partner as normal, that they actually end up making them stand out from the crowd a little too much.
Your mileage may vary.

[Review] Mortal Online: Free to Play, But Not Bug-Free
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion

This is quite the ridiculous comment. How can you write a review and expect to to be taken seriously if you haven't even tried the features the game has to offer -- that you also happen to be reviewing.
Houses don't have much usage besides for actual productivity in gathering, hunting, nd of course roleplay through the use of player made villages. For example, you can build a house in a resource rich area then work out of your house, as people do quite often. With a butchery table, or mining and extracting, or regearing fighters for example. There's even a guild in the game that lives entirely out of a player village(not including keeps and palisade that add an entirely different dnyamic) that they built themselves using housing. You could build a keep, freely place towers to a town, take control over it and tax all the property under you control. No, you can't decorate them, and they could have more functionality, but how can you write a review without even taking something like this into consideration.
Like i said, this review is flawed. It minus well be a review of the tutorial.
[Review] Mortal Online: Free to Play, But Not Bug-Free
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
This review is very flawed imo. Seems like a fair score, but please explaine how SWtor gets 8/10 innovation and this game gets 6/10?
Did you even craft in this game, or join a guild? I have to seirously wonder how far you got into the game? After reading the review, it doesn't seem like you did much of anything. Anyone could have gathered what you were saying in less than an hour of gameplay.
You didn't comment on territory control, the unique minin/extracting stystem, thieving/lockpicking, player housing, sieging, dominating, any of the on-going world events...
In fact, you don't seem to take in consideration anything that the game offers. Even commenting that which race you pick is irrelevant. This leads me to believe you didn't do much of anything except the tutorial than leave. Now that i think about it, ALL of your screenshots come from the tindrem garden tutorial area...
If you're going to review a game you should at least play it to it's fullest for a reasonable amount of time by joining a guild and trying out the different mechanics the game has to offer before you offer blanket generalities that dont review anything about the game besides for it's graphics and polish.
What killed your WOW account?
General Discussion « World of Warcraft
I just stopped having fun. I did what the game offered extensively, and with all the new expansions, they never offered anything new to do. I had fun while it lasted, but to be honest, all these themepark games are the same to me. You level, you dungeon grind,then you raid with the tacked on addition of battlegrounds. The combat is mostly the same, most of the skills are copied and pasted from one another. It's just bleh. It has nothing to do with dungeon finder, or gear treadmills, or the community. I quit wow for the same reason i stopped wasting my time on all themepark games...I just can't have fun in them anymore.

LF mmo where combat is not necessary
LFGame « General Discussion
Well in mortal, you can be an exclusive crafter. Extractors have to mine minerals, then process them by crushing the ore, then run it through a furnace to a basic metal, then refine that metal and make ti stronger. Then that metal can be used in weaponcrafting, armorcrafting, building houses, ect. There's woodcutting, and all sorts of pickable vegetation around the world that can be used for cooking and alchemy. For example, if you find a patch of wheat, you can pick that wheat, bring it back tot own and grind it into flour, then make it into a fish pie with some fish you caught in the river. Everything in the game is player made(well mostly everything, eventually that is the plan), so crafting is in demand.
There's gona be an expansion soon that will help you be an exclusive crafter because it's adding in a trade broker (auction house essentially), so you can buy all the animal materials you need through that and sell your mining and other goods. The game is indie, so there's bugs, and the expansion will probably be buggy, but it has what your looking for. Furthermore, there's a small tight knit community, and you'll be able to find like minded players who just want to explore, craft, and indulge themselves in the lore if that's your thing.

Are guild websites/forums becoming a thing of the past?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
Well they don't really serve a purpose in most mmo's. Voip is a much easier form of communication. Forums become more important in games(or "hardcore" guilds) where you would need to discuss things, but they're usually just decorative. Something to make the guild seem more legit. You can keep people up to date using what vent or teamspeak 3 offers, or even the game itself.
Is it just me or are female characters a little bit oversexualized?

This is a pretty challenging question. At one end, I want to say no, this game is barely sexualized at all compared to a lot of mmo's.... but on the other end, I do like boobies.

Well for one, in how many games can you go out, blow someones keep up, build your own, freely place player structures (territory towers) to conquer land and take over citites which will allow you to tax your territory and outlaw ppl/control city security in the near future. All in a persistant world.
As for the crafting, you seem to be only referring to weaponcrafting. How about armorcrafting? Or bowcrafting where their's a high amount of viable bows possible with different combos of materials, different bow types, ect. And each bowcrafter has to tailor the bows to a specific strength so the user can correctly draw the string. Or alchemy, which was a system introduced back in dawn, but took people a little under a year to start understanding and developing good potions. I suppose this isn't considered good crafting though, the "craft superior might +1 swords till lvl 425 crafting where you stop using crafting" system that most games have is much better.
In how many other games does the metal require actual extraction where you must mine the ore, crush it, run it through attractors,furnaces, grizzlies ect then refine(which is an entire system on its own) it into metals. Then some of those metals can be further process into more advanced metals.
I could list a lot of stuff if you wanted. Like someone else mentioned, the problem is you will just blow off everything, but the game does have unique features that very few (mabye one or two) other mmos currently or will have in the near future.
Man, Mortal Online is absolutely terrible!
General Discussion « Mortal Online
Mortal Online is hard to get into because of the rpkers, bugs, lack of tutorial. But when you get past that, it is really a uniqie experience. The game(including the upcoming expansion) has features that no mmo in the near future offers. It may be "indie" quality, but I still have fun and happily pay for it. It's not for everyone, simple as that.
I'll also add that mortal online is the only mmo i've played in a looong time that gives me the sense that I'm in a game world. There is politics, crusades(deathshroud knows about that =P), bandits, mercenaris, roleplayers (imagine that in an mmorpg), and so much beyond all this standard themepark crap. There is no dynamic events needed in thsi game, because the players shape the world themselves. And thats the beauty of sandboxes.

Not much of a promotion, just decreasing the box price really(you'll pay 15$ for first month instead of however much it was before.) I wonder when the eta for the eta will come out, then get missed completely.
What was the MMO that you loved despite a low review score?

Mortal Online. Ya it's buggy. But it's playable and I think it's a lot of fun. And at least the devs are trying to put something out that hasn't been rehashed a thousand times.
Technology There, ZeniMax doesn't care

SV is a tiny company with virtually no budget, yet Mortal Online is a almost functional fpv action sandbox. That should tell you something. The problem with MO and Darkfall has nothing to do with design concepts. It has to do with inexpereince and little funding. Tera is a open world action mmo and it works just fine. Want tera to become a sandbox? Okay, add more player made content like keeps and what not. I don't see why anyone would need proof that a sandbox action oriented game is possible. What exactly is stopping archage from putting in tera's combat besides for being so late into the development stage?
Is it harder? Ya probably. Thats probably why they, and most other developers, go the wow clone way. Because those traditional mmos are extremely simple to design both conceptually and literarly compared to sandbox games like MO. Why take a risk when you can just milk every big name IP.
