Goalie Ryan Miller and forward Thomas Vanek are both taking a business-as-usual approach to their uncertain futures with the Sabres. Miller, a former Vezina Trophy winner, and Vanek, the Sabres' top offensive threat, reported for physicals Wednesday after an offseason filled with trade rumors. Both players are in the final year of their contracts and are not currently negotiating extensions with the Sabres. General Manager Darcy Regier said the window for making preseason trades has probably closed, but that talks will heat up again as the trade deadline approaches. Buffalo began last season with Stanley Cup aspirations, but has elected to rebuild its under-performing roster with prospects and draft picks after missing the playoffs for the second straight year.

Memphis actor, Brewer regular John Still dies
Familiar face was often bad guy on-screen, good guy off
John Still was a formidable screen presence with an imposing physique, a baritone rumble and an air of quiet menace and sinister authority that made him the go-to bad guy for Memphis moviemakers.
In Jeremy Benson's "Live Animals" (2008), Mr. Still was cast as a Collierville-based modern slave trafficker. In Craig Brewer's debut feature, "The Poor & Hungry" (2000), he was a low-level crime boss who beat up a homeless girl.
Yet off camera, he was more Teddy bear than grizzly bear.
"As nice a guy as he was, he could just come across as evil," said Benson, 35.
"He had that voice, he didn't need to put much gas behind it," said Brewer, 42, who cast Mr. Still in all four of his feature films. "That vocal quality made him a great villain. James Earl Jones is a great guy, too, but he's still the voice of Darth Vader."
Mr. Still, 71, died Monday at Methodist Hospital-Germantown after a long struggle with throat cancer. He leaves a son, John Alan Still of San Antonio, and a legion of admirers, especially in the local acting and filmmaking communities.
Born in Cleveland, Tenn., Mr. Still managed rock bands in high school and later was an early manager for the blind country singer, Ronnie Milsap.
After a stint in the Air Force, Mr. Still took various jobs in the entertainment industry, mostly as a radio disc jockey or television reporter. He worked in Chattanooga and Dallas before moving to Memphis in the 1970s, taking radio jobs with WREC, WHBQ and Quad 104.1 (now "The River").
Encouraged by his local talent agent, Lisa Lax, to seek more than voice-over work, he took acting classes and auditioned for on-camera roles. Brewer cast Mr. Still in his aborted early feature, "Melody's Surviving," in the mid-1990s before recruiting him to play the cruel Mr. Coles in "The Poor & Hungry."
In Brewer's Oscar-winning "Hustle & Flow" (2005), Mr. Still is the pawnshop owner who trades a microphone for the sexual favors of a prostitute played by Taryn Manning. In Brewer's "Black Snake Moan" (2007), he's the rude bar patron who impugns the manhood of customer Justin Timberlake. In "Footloose" (2011), he has a small role as a track official who chides Julianne Hough. He was the star of Brewer's short film "Clean Up in Booth B," which gave him a chance to show his range in a rare sympathetic role.
Brewer said Mr. Still recently gave him his signature black fedora hat. "He said, 'This is the way I can keep being in your movies, hide this hat somewhere.' So find-the-hat is going to be part of my movies from now on."
Mr. Still was talented enough to find work as a Hollywood character actor, but he remained in town. He recently had a small role in "As I Lay Dying," a 2013 adaptation of the William Faulkner novel shot in Mississippi and directed by its star, James Franco. He also appeared in such productions as "The Romance of Loneliness" (2012), with Amy LaVere; Keenon Nikita's "Just the Two of Us" (2006); and "Savage County" (2010), a psychos-vs.-teenagers horror production created for MTV.
"He not only acted, he was a mentor," Brewer said.
Brewer said he spent a long night shooting Still's climactic fight and death scene for "The Poor & Hungry," but when he looked at the footage, he didn't like it.
"I said, 'John, what's going on here?' And he said, 'Look, I've held my tongue, Craig, but you can't just throw up these lights and assume it's going to look good. You've overlit this. Pornography has more shadow and depth. We're (the actors) good, the scene's good, your direction's good, but your lighting sucks.'
"That example right there is why I'm a better filmmaker," Brewer said. "I don't know if there's a better film school than John Still telling you your lighting sucks."
Funeral services will be private, but a public memorial service is being planned for later this month.

Take inspiration from the hardy fools who take part in the Peter Pan Cup race, a Christmas day swim around the freezing Serpentine that has been an annual fixture on the calendar since 1864. Or if you're feeling a little less daring take a trip to Hampstead Heath, where the pools are heated all year round. Quite a few pools will open on Boxing Day, including London Fields Lido which will be open in the morning, giving you the chance to burn off the box of Quality Streets you munched through the day before.

Christmas and Boxing Day in London
Christmas and Boxing Day in London
Christmas Day is the one day of the year when London practically shuts down. Major sights and shops close their doors, the Tube and buses come to a standstill, and most people are at home unwrapping presents. But it's also the ideal time to take advantage of the crowd-free streets and go for a stroll. Most churches hold services on Christmas Day, with those at St Paul's, St Martin-in-the-Fields and Westminster Abbey among the most spectacular. Come Boxing Day, there's the traditional Premier League fixtures, the race meeting at Kempton Park and, of course, the start of the end-of-year sales.
Christmas and Boxing Day Map
Check out the LondonTown.com map of Christmas and Boxing Day in London.
Go for a Bracing Christmas Day Dip
What better way to wake yourself up on Christmas Day than a refreshing dip in one of London's pools.
Have a Christmas Drink in a London Pub
A cosy London pub could be the perfect place to spend the 25th.
In keeping with the true spirit of Christmas, lots of warm and friendly London boozers open up their doors to loyal customers and weary travelers on Christmas day. Many of the Young's pubs remain open throughout the festive period, including The Founders Arm in Southwark which is open on Christmas day between 12pm-5pm, serving food from midday to 4pm. The Spread Eagle in Camden is also open (until 5pm on the 25th and 12-10pm on the 26th), as is The Flask in Hampstead (Christmas Day 12-4pm and Boxing Day 12-8pm). Popular East London pub The Dove has a lovely cosy atmosphere and opens up on Christmas Day to offer a tempting seasonal menu including roasted sweet potato, butternut squash and stilton soup, Norfolk free range roast turkey and traditional Christmas pudding. If you just fancy letting someone else sweat over parsnips and sprouts all day, book yourself a three course Christmas banquet at The Only Running Footman in Mayfair. The set dinner costs £74 and promises to be a real Christmas delight.
Hit the Sales
For serious bargain hunters Boxing Day is a chance to get first in line at the sales.
Whilst most of us are sinking into our sofas and tucking into a third helping of leftover stuffing, masses of serious shopaholics are limbering up to battle the mayhem of the January sales. In London, the key areas to target for a Boxing day bargain hunt are Oxford Street, some of the major department stores and a couple of the big shopping malls. Oxford street is the shopping heart of London and is home to all the major highstreet labels including the flagship Topshop, Primark and Niketown. Most of the big department stores will be open and gearing up for the January rush, Selfridges and Harvey Nicks are always good for bagging yourself some designer deals. Debenhams usually opens its doors at a rather ungodly hour on the 26th, where as John Lewis allow their employees an extra day of rest and remains closed on Boxing Day. Westfield in Stratford opens back up for business from 7am-10pm on the 26th.
Christmas and Boxing Day Sport
Christmas can be fairly sedentary, so liven things up with some live sporting action.
The Barclays Premier League is a highlight for many at Christmas and this year many of the top games will be shown on live television. Monday 22nd December see Stoke City take on Chelsea while on Boxing Day there's eight games on, including Man City vs West Brom, Man United vs Newcastle and Arsenal vs QPR. If football isn't your thing get down to Kempton Park for the William Hill Winter Festival, which runs for two days on the 26th and 27th December. Get out with friends and family and enjoy some jump racing action from some of the sport's most exciting stars. The annual King George VI Chase takes place on Boxing Day, and you can make it a really special occasion by booking a table at the Kempton Park Panoramic Restaurant.
Take a Christmas Tour of the City
Take advantage of the deserted streets and explore the crowd-free city.
This is the one day of the year that the streets of London will be free from the crowds, so if you fancy making the most of this unique opportunity take to the streets with one of the guided tours taking place this Christmas. See the city as you've never seen it before, through the eyes of Charles Dickens. The London Walks company's Dickens tour departs from the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree at 2pm on the 25th and transports you on a historic festive journey around the capital. The company are also running a Samuel Pepys tour on Christmas day morning, taking full advantage of the fact that the streets will be almost automobile free, as they would have been back in 1660. HiddenCity are another company offering a festive option, with The Enchanted Mirror fairytale adventure. Upon solving curious clues set by an evil queen sent via text message, teams will be on the hunt for a magical mirror. If all that sounds a bit tiring, hop on a Christmas Day Thames Cruise. A few of the boat tour companies will be running special luxury boat trips which including a full festive slap-up meal.
Lend a Hand
Give something back this Christmas and help out at one of the city's charities.
Christmas is about giving as well as receiving, so if you really want to get into the spirit of things this year try donating some time to a charitable cause. Many London charity centres are appealing for volunteers to help out over the holidays, assisting in the kitchen, making tea and generally making the festive period a little better for vulnerable people in the city. The Christmas period can be tough for many people, particularly for the homeless, sick and the elderly. So if you think you can help make it a little easier, the charity 'Crisis' is calling for volunteers (aged 16 ) who would be willing to give up sixteen hours of their time over Christmas. They are particularly interested in anyone with medical training or hairdressing and dentistry skills, but are looking for anyone who can 'muck in' and make a real difference.
Go See a Show
Make Boxing Day a day to remember with tickets to a London show.
Lots of shows run almost as normal throughout the Christmas holidays, so if you're feeling restless and don't fancy another day of rubbish Christmas telly, get out there and enjoy some of the amazing entertainment on offer across the capital. Here are just a few of the shows you can catch this Christmas: How about the wildly entertaining theatrics of Slava's Snowshow at the Southbank Centre, which has a break for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but then resumes on Boxing Day. Or cult hit La Soiree, last seen in London in 2011. Returning to London fresh from a six month residency at the Union Square Theatre in New York and a whirl around Australia, the show brings with it new burlesque and cabaret, physical theatre and comedy. Taking a two-day break for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, the show returns at 7pm and 10pm on Boxing Day. Popular family show The Snowman also returns and the Royal Opera House production of The Wind in the Willows plays at the Duchess Theatre for an eight week Christmas season.
Go to a Classical Music Concert
Relax with one of the outstanding classical music concerts taking place this Christmas.
A calming classical music concert could be just the antidote to the chaos and commotion of Christmas. Many churches hold carol services and concerts across the holidays, here are a few well worth a visit. St-Martin-in-the-Fields on Trafalgar Square has a wonderful schedule of events at this time of year, join them on Boxing day for an uplifting post-Christmas celebration. Their Boxing Day Baroque features one of the city's finest orchestras, the Belmont Ensemble of London, who have previously played over 500 concerts at the church. St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and many London churches have good concerts and carols on Christmas and Boxing day. Some of the events are ticketed, so be sure to book early if you want to ensure your visit.

Walker: Mystery shrouds romantic saint
So who is this character who has all the guys scrambling around buying flowers and candy and cards — this Saint Valentine?
In my mind's eye I've always seen some amiable old robed fellow with a twinkle in his eye spreading romance across days of yore. Turns out, it's not that simple.
Saint Valentine, the historical figure, is quite mysterious — if he ever existed at all. More than a dozen saints have had the name "Valentine" and nobody is sure which one is the guy to associate with hearts and flowers.
Maybe the most likely candidate is a Valentine who went to prison back about 270 A.D. for marrying Christians, something that was frowned on by the Romans at the time.
Even the Catholic Church seems a little confused by this ephemeral saint.
The first feast for Saint Valentine came about 500 A.D. at the order of Pope Gelasius I, who glossed over the lack of a firm ID on the romantic saint by honoring those "whose names are justly reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God."
Gelasius would be right at home in modern noncommittal political rhetoric.
Saint Valentine (whichever or however many) did not get booted from the list of saints when the church did house cleaning in the saints' attic in 1969, but he (they) was removed from the list of veneration and placed on the list of commemoration — kind of the equivalent of not being allowed to sit at the grown-ups' table on feast day.
At least one scholar argues that the association of a saint with a day dedicated to lovers was done by none other than the ribald old scribbler Geoffrey Chaucer in his book "Parliament of Foules (Fools) in 1382.
The relationship between Valentine and romance evolved over the next 400 years until the forerunners of today's Valentine's cards appeared in the late 18th Century.
By the arrival of the Victorian era, Valentine cards had become sexy little messages that could be mailed anonymously to a person for whom one had a letch. Oh, those randy Victorians!
The earliest versions of today's cards appeared in this country before the Civil War and the observance of Valentine's Day has grown ever since.
When I was a kid, Valentines were pretty much limited to little cards exchanged in school and those little heart-shaped globs of highly condensed sugar with messages printed on them. In the intervening years — under the prevailing theory that no good observance should go uncommercialized — little cards and candies have given way to floral arrangements, expensive dinners and diamonds.
I even saw a Valentine's ad for iPads. What girl's heart wouldn't go pittidy-pat at the notion of a handheld computer? Move over hearts and roses. If you REALLY love her you would spend $700 rather than a measly $50 on a bunch of roses.
None of this is meant to demean Valentine's Day.
I find the observance quite charming.
Romance should have its own day of recognition. After all, without it there would not be 7-billion of us starry-eyed souls here to buy roses and iPads.

After rumors started swirling this morning (May 30) that Bobbi Kristina Brown walked off the set of her latest show, the series creator Tyler Perry jumped to her defense.
Making her triumphant post-baby stage debut, Beyonce Knowles was in fine form as she took the stage for the first time since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy while putting on a concert in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Friday night (May 25).
The 30-year-old singing sensation confidently greeted the sold-out audience at Ovation Hall at Revel Resort & Casino while opening up the show with fan favorite "End of Time" before transitioning into "Love on Top"
After spending a positive weekend in Sin City to celebrate her late mother, Bobbi Kristina Brown's Billboard Awards trip took a negative turn.
On Tuesday morning (May 22), TMZ released a video of Whitney Houston's daughter allegedly playing the slot machines with her adopted brother and rumored boyfriend Nick Gordon at the MGM Grand on Saturday night (May 19).
Proving that her voice will never die, the late Whitney Houston is featured on a duet with Jordin Sparks from their forthcoming flick "Sparkle."
The song is called "Celebrate" and it really shows off both songstress' fabulous vocal abilities as individuals as well as their ability to blend together.
Being recognized with an emotionally charged salute for her life achievements, the late Whitney Houston was selected as the recipient of the Billboard Millennium Award at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night (May 20).
With another high profile ceremony having come and gone, the winners from the 2012 Billboard Music Awards were announced on Sunday night (May 20).
He became world famous as part of New Edition, and last night (May 16) Bobby Brownwas once again flying solo on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
The "My Prerogative" singer gave a high-energy performance of his brand new single "Don't Let Me Die," a tribute to his late ex-wife Whitney Houston.
He's no stranger to controversy, and Bobby Brown caught all kinds of flack for performing on the night that his ex-wife Whitney Houston passed away.
The "My Prerogative" singer told Ellen DeGeneres that after he'd exhausted all of his other options, he decided that the show must go on.

Elana Dykewomon's poems are reminders not to take anything for granted: to listen to the messages embedded in others' silences, to look beneath the rubble of violence, and to value the pleasures of intimate loving. Presenting the poetry written over the past four decades, What Can I Ask is wise, passionate, and inspirational. I so value this work and always keep it close to my heart."
--Irena Klepfisz, Author of A Few Words in the Mother Tongue
Elana Dykewomon's poetry bears witness to the lives of lesbians. She asks and demands that we be responsible and responsive to one another; that we bring care, compassion, accountability, and love in the proper proportions. These are poems that help us understand the contours of sexism, homophobia, racism, and anti-Semitism. And they are poems that illuminate what we can ask from and offer one another.
Drawing on Dykewomon's impressive body of poetry, What Can I Ask: New and Selected Poems 1975-2015assembles into a single volume poems from Dykewomon's three published collections, They Will Know Me By My Teeth (Megaera Press, 1976), Fragments from Lesbos (Diaspora Distribution, 1981), and Nothing Will Be As Sweet as the Taste (Onlywomen Press, 1995), as well as a selection of newer, uncollected poems. Dykewomon continues asking questions and reaching for answers, demonstrating the power of poetry to comfort and enrage, inspire and arouse.

The more I play MMOs the more obvious it becomes that a lot of people do not play them to escape reality or for enjoyment. Instead they bring all of their problems, mental issues and lonliness in to the game with them. Maybe these are just my experiences. It's possible. I have seen people do some weird sh*t in MMOs.
As far as communities go I don't think any game has ever had a nicer, more helpful community than Ryzom. Yet another game that no one ever played.

SWg made you interact on a personal level reardless if the person was a douchebag or not, Today you're just playing with souless avatars. Remember waiting for 10 minutes for a shuttle in swg? todays gamer would freak out over that instead of taking the oppertunity to be social.

Uh, just because you believe that doesn't make it true for everyone. If I make friends and they're worth it, I'll add them to facebook, or skype or something, and try and play other games here and there or something. There's been plenty of times where I've lost interest in a game, even though I've had a great guild and people I talk to, and just never log in again suddenly.
I don't put a lot of stock in online friendships, though. I have enough RL friends that I don't really worry about whether or not I make lasting relationships in a game.

What I think they should do is just credit the person who beat them, and ask for some tips. But I suppose if they give that player any credit, they're not roleplaying the best warrior the world has ever seen.

I agree with the interdependency but I don't blame the lack of that on a LFG tool. It comes from the very core of the game design. If a LFG tool destroys your community it wasn't there to begin with.
SWG's interdependency came in large part from it's item decay system. With out that you really didn't need the crafters, the crafters did not need the mats and people like me who earned steady credits from gathering and selling mats had nothing to do. Item decay drove the economy and the community. The LFG tool would not have ruined that interdependency.
To me a good or bad community is not judged by if everyone says hello when I port in to a dungeon. It comes from what goes on outside of that dungeon. SWG's greatness really came from the fact that things broke and needed to be replaced. Only players could make those items. It's a pretty simple concept that developers don't want to touch any more.

Ohh you can also steal, intimdate and grief other NPC's in the world. IF those elements are not PvP like then you can dress me up i na pink tutu and call me a ballerina.
On that same token, I am almost positive my game character is unable to join a group of 24 or 39 other NPC's in game and go slay dragons or explore ruinous caverns, all that is done in a solo or in a small party size element.
So again I ask whcih is more TES like? PvP or Raiding?
Thats what I thought.......point made!

this thread seems to consist of two types of players the old wow crowd that want raiding and pve content and exploring the entire world , and the daoc crowd who want realm vs realm and pvp and to keep it factional. Skyrim is still a great single player game to people that do not like the direction that Matt Friror is taking , go play it again and mod it for more playing hours. I like the DAOC 2 attitude they are taking. DAOC did perfectly fine for years without real instanced raiding. If you wanted to raid you had open world bosses like legion cear sidi etc Im sure adventuring zones will be similiar and if you want to really have some fun , they add in a darkness falls style dungeon where each realm has to fight to control and has awesome rewards in it . Some of you pve folks might really enjoy that , I know darkness falls is what made me really enjoy pvp in games. Chasing down stealthers and zerging the opposing realms portal in there with a group of friends not letting them come in until they wiped us.

I understand the people who like Raids, and I understand the people who like PvP. However, here's what I don't get.
In what TES games has there EVER been raiding? I'm being serious here. We've had TES games with wars (which seem to mimick Zenimax's focus on PvP), but I don't think I've ever seen anything remotely similar to raid content in an elder scrolls game, period.
I guess I just don't understand the implication that Raiding is somehow just as important to, if not more important to an elder scrolls game, when it has had nothing to do with any of them ever. I understand that some people like raiding, but it doesn't seem like a feature that would make this game seem any more like elder scrolls in any way. In reality just the opposite.
It kinda looks to me like some people don't actually give a crap about whether this game feels like elder scrolls, and are rather just looking for excuses to put in features that cater specifically to them.

well,raiding is interesting concept,like lets imagine that theres planet destroyer megaboom monster which needs 5 players to take him down or 50 players or even 100,which one is more interesting scenario ? not to mention if some people manages to 10 man it or 30 man it or even solo it.
to me raiding sounds much more interesting than mobs which are scripted for 5 mans,which ofcourse can be soloed perhaps.

Could be both a PvP and a raid scenario depending on the control of one of the factions. I don't deny the ease of which you can think PvP but flesh out the encounter add some reason or story behind it and it could just as easily become PvE content, with one side being controlled via AI.
Raiding does not have to involve one large monster vs a horde of players and can tie in to a war scenario just as well as mass PvP. People fail to see how raiding (multiple group content) could be linked into any of the elder scroll universe yet ignore the very fact that group conflict and wars form a huge part of TES lore which lends itself to both PvE and PvP scenarios.
Whether people like or hate either raiding or PvP shouldn't be a concern as both PvE and PvP can easily fit with the lore of the IP, and as I have said before I can see both being catered for (especially given information released thus far), as with any modern MMO I expect diversity in order to garner a larger audience and not alienate the IPs fanbase that is not into either PvP or PvE.

All I know is this. If people can say closed of factions/races and invisible walls protecting all lands from the war is TES because its an MMO...then Raiding can be thrown to the wind as a sacrifice to the TES Gods for betraying the IP.

If this is a pvp focused game, them I'm out. I hate dealing with the pvp'er mindset. And before anyone calls me a "carebear" or some other demeaning name, I was one of the most succesful and active bounty hunters on my server in swg, where I ended up with exactly 300 completed bounties.

Then there are the themepark PvPers from games like DaoC, they do it for shineys and must do it a lot. They are like raiders and more often than not, wont do it unless they gain something from it and will only think of it as fun if they are zerging/steaming rolling.
Then there are the part-time themepark PvPers. they want a reward but dont care enough about it to do it often. More often than not will do it until it isnt fun anymore and then stop for a while.
Of the 4, you are near the top and should be proud of it. You dont need a carrot to PvP and im sure you dont need a developer to create faction pride for you either.

What I enjoyed was coming up with new ways to kill my targets. Sometimes I would just bum rush them out in the wilderness. Other times I'd wait patiently for them in cities. I remember killing one guy by pretending to be a doctor and setting up outside a starport offering free buffs, with my "buffing" droid (aka bomb droid) next to me. My target took up my offer and before he knew what happened my bomb droid detonated and he was dead a few seconds afterwards. I got a few others by pretending to be a fellow jedi padawan (I had unlocked jedi on my BH and had the robes and everything) and earning their trust before I got them alone and killed them. Great times.

Second Wave of Alabama Soldiers Called to Middle East
By Alabama Public Radio
Montgomery, AL – Federal defense officials have activated another 15-hundred Alabama National Guard members. The call up affects six units, and some soldiers will go on active duty within a matter of days. Members of the 115th Signal Battalion, based in Florence, and the Wetumpka-based 1206th and 1209th Quartermaster detachments will report this weekend. Members of the 711th Signal Battalion in Mobile, Company F of the Birmingham-based 131st Aviation Regiment, and the Prattville-based 231st Military Police Battalion will go on active duty January first. Alabama Guard spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Bob Horton says the call up is part of a second wave of Alabama National Guard units assigned to the Persian Gulf since the September 11th terrorist attacks. The units will serve up to a year in the Gulf, but military officials did not immediately know when the units would depart.

Arizona's Patrick Peterson is headed to the Pro Bowl for the second time in his two seasons in the NFL. This one, he said, means more because he has been chosen as a cornerback. Last year, as a rookie, he made the Pro Bowl as a punt returner. Patrick, as confident as they come in pro football, says he expected the selection and considers it a reward for the hard work he has done since the Cardinals made him the No. 5 pick overall in the 2011 draft. Peterson is Arizona's only Pro Bowl selection. Inside linebacker Daryl Washington and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald were chosen as alternates. Washington says he is disappointed, while Fitzgerald says he is surprised.

Nagyecsed is a town in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary.
The old name of the town was Ecsed but over time it has been renamed Nagyecsed, meaning "grand" or "great Ecsed" to distinguish it. The area had close associations with a cadet branch of the Báthory family. Elizabeth Báthory, infamous as The Blood Countess, was raised in the town's now ruined castle. Her main residence and later her prison was Csejte Castle, Upper Hungary now in Slovakia, but she was buried in the family crypt at Ecsed/Nagyecsed. Her title in Hungarian nobility was Countess Elizabeth Báthory von Ecsed. The use of the German adelsprädikat "von" meant "of".
In the Hungarian (Magyar) language, the suffix "i" at the end of the name of the village or town meant the same. For example, "Ecsedi" is a common surname in Europe. Later the suffix was modified to a "y" to annotate the aristocracy or nobility of someone from the village or town.
The town's castle was demolished in the eighteenth-century after the Kuruc uprisings.
It covers an area of 43.87 km2 (17 sq mi) and has a population of 6706 people (2005).
The town is divided into two by the river Kraszna. It formerly lay next to Ecsed-fen, or moorland, which had been the largest contiguous marshland of the Great Hungarian Plain. As part of water control operations by Tibor Károlyi this was drained in the late nineteenth-century, and the lands thus reclaimed transformed into farmland.

Reviews for Mom's Meat Loaf
Sort By :
"We loved this even though neither of us are big meat loaf fans. Thinking I had enough ketchup, I ended up having to use about 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce to supplement. Still turned out great!"
"OMG best meatloaf ever! Delicious!"
"I love this meatloaf. Been making similar one for years. Instead of Worcestershire in the topping, I use tabasco. We love the sweet hot taste. Especially good on those sandwiches made from the leftovers. Yum."
"A most excellent meatloaf. My husband claims it's the best he's ever had. I agree. I did substitute 1/2 lb. of mild Italian sausage for the 1/2 lb. of ground beef. I will never use another recipe for meatloaf again. Thanks."
"This recipe is the exact same recipe as the one published in the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. My version of the cookbook is just over 30 years old."

My co-op in Burnsville doesn't carry it. Last ditch effort to try and get rid of skin yeast on myself :( I'm on my second antifungal cream and it's just getting worse. DD has it too but I cannot use it for her because it will stain diapers, although I suppose I could temporarily go disposable.

Hmm, maybe only certain Walgreens carries it. I called one by my house and they said they don't have it.

I got mine at Walgreens too. It is in the pharmacy but you can get it without a prescription.
Thanks! The couple times I inquired about it, Walgreens didn't tell me I could order it and it would be there the next day! Finally the third time the pharmacy said that. So I used it (4 days too long though, whoops) and it's the only thing I've tried so far that seemed to work. I'm still healing so it's hard to tell if it got all the yeast but I think so (I still have it systemically though).

Quickly wanted to relate my experience with gentian violet. I thought I had a yeast infection/thrush on my nipples since nursing had gotten to be pretty uncomfortable (DS2 is 16 months)...I kind of self-diagnosed with some phone help from a knowledgeable friend. I went to CVS to get g.v. She had said he would be able to nurse through it with no problem. Well, I think I got the wrong kind somehow because it was so bitter! He wouldn't nurse after I put it on, so I tried a drop out of the bottle and WHOA was it bitter! Maybe if I'd asked at my local health food store they could've steered me in the right direction. If you know what you're doing with g.v., more power to you...I didn't know but was trying to "go natural" with it, and am lucky that my ignorance didn't make anything bad happen to me or DS. I am thankful CVS has such a great return policy. Also, it turned out I didn't have anything other than the return of A.F.!
I got tired of my signature, but I still love my children and husband and miss my little brother.
Its super bitter! I tasted it last time, and I thought it was super gross. I actually mixed put lemon juice on my boobs followed by a TINY bit of agave syrup so that the lemon juice would kill the taste and the syrup would encourage her to nurse ( ). I was going to use it in her mouth too for her thrush, but it was just too gross. I used ACV instead and she loved the taste of it. And now she loves pickles. I think they are related

Warfare Center recognizes collaboration
The Warfare Center Board of Directors recently selected Alfredo Gabertan of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Division (NSWC-PHD) to receive a 2010 Warfare Center Collaboration Award under the category of Marine Corps Community of Interest for creating a business environment based on communication and collaboration.
Nineteen nominations were submitted representing the work of 111 warfare center members. Of the 19 submitted, only eight were endorsed by the board of directors.
"On behalf of the Warfare Center Board of Directors," said Alan J. Dean, head workforce directorate for NAVSEA Warfare Centers, "we would like to thank all of the award recipients for your dedication, passion and ingenuity in addressing not only today's, but our future fleet challenges."
Established in 2005, the Warfare Center Awards recognize individuals, teams and activities across the enterprise for their contributions of innovation and improvement in the areas of product quality, technical and business development and leadership.
Recipients of these awards not only advance the mission and vision of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) but reflect personal dedication and diligence to advancing technological and business capabilities into the 21st century.
"It is an honor to be recognized with a collaboration award," said Gabertan, "and a pleasure to work with engineers from other warfare centers."
NSWC Port Hueneme is part of NAVSEA and provides the United States Navy global fleet with weapon system in-service engineering, logistics, and test and evaluation. Commanded by Capt. Bill DeBow, NSWC Port Hueneme is located at Naval Base Ventura County, where it employs more than 1,900 personnel.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Yes you are right it is a don't. You don't want to damage your prostate. What you are experiencing is kind of newbie thing as your prostate is not yet awakened and sensitized. So there is a real tendency to want to apply lots of pressure to feel anything. I don't recommend you sit with your Progasm inserted. Although many users here do so with the smaller models (Helix, MGX/SGX, Eupho,) with the handle/tails cut off(Or the Periside as is). I'm unable to do this myself as it applies to much pressure and I find it uncomfortable. Be gentle with yourself and your body. Practice regularly and your prostate will awaken.
I believe that another one of the "donts" out there, is to not use the Aneros to push, or rub against the prostate. I like to sometimes sit at the bed, with feets on the floor, to add a bit of
pressure on the Progasm, and then do some gentle contractions to get some extra stimuli of the prostate, it feels good, but is it good?
The other thing that comes to mind is that every Aneros user's journey is different. What works for one guy, may not work for another. The best you can do is experiment in your sessions and follow where the pleasure takes you.
Neither gentle nor strong contractions does the slightest for me so far, just lying still and emerging in fantasies has been my most successful strategy when it comes to building up an arousal.
also reported he could masturbate by manipulating his non-erect penis - achieving a dry orgasm (obviously he has no prostate or seminal vesicles), and this ability is apparently universal
... so the orgasm he gets during anal manipulation or intercourse is NOT prostate and not penile but purely "anal"

Colleges' board meets to discuss threat to accreditation
The board that oversees Moorpark, Oxnard and Ventura colleges intends to make some changes to get the three campuses off probation — and ultimately to do its job better.
The Ventura County Community College District board started working on those changes at a meeting Tuesday night, about a week after the colleges were put on probation by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges.
Stephen Blum, chairman of the board, presented the board a proposed agenda for a special meeting next week. Under that agenda, the board plans to discuss its role, then come up with a list of changes it needs to make, as well as a timeline for making those changes.
"We are all saddened by the events of last week," Blum said. "I want to assure everyone here ... that we will do our best to rectify this problem. Not only do we face serious budget problems, we face serious accreditation problems, as well."
The board has a month to report back to the commission on the progress it has made.
The commission put the district and three colleges on probation last week, citing "a particular board member's disruptive and inappropriate behavior, and the entire board's responsibility to address and curtail it." The letter announcing the probation does not name the trustee, but college officials say it is Hernandez, who represents the Oxnard area.
The colleges remain accredited while they are on probation, but the sanction moves them one step closer to losing their accreditation. Colleges must be accredited for students to receive federal financial aid and to transfer their credits to a four-year university.
The commission told the district it needs to improve communication and more clearly define who is responsible for what, among other recommendations.
Trisha Farrugia, a student at Moorpark, told the board she was disappointed to learn the commission may have put the colleges on probation after learning Trustee Art Hernandez did not attend training the board had said it would get.
"I am quite frustrated to learn about the board's inability to work together to avoid probation and the possible loss of accreditation," Farrugia said. "I am sad to understand one of you would jeopardize the district for a meeting which there was most certainly a way you could have missed."
On Tuesday, the board also got an update from the firm that is recruiting candidates to succeed Chancellor James Meznek, who is retiring in July. Representatives from Community College Search Services presented a proposed recruitment brochure and discussed possible pay for the new chancellor. They also suggested a timeline that would have candidates interviewed in May. The proposed pay range would be $210,000 to $250,000. Meznek's pay is $228,000 — the lowest among community college chancellors in the state.
Next week's special meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 22 at district headquarters, 255 W. Stanley Ave., Suite 150, Ventura.

Wealth Creation Blueprint
Do You Have a
Wealth Creation Strategy?
Discover How You Can
Create Peak Life Experiences
While Creating Wealth!
Not long ago, in my search for wealth creation, I made the leap into internet marketing and discovered a world of opportunity that I had been totally unaware of.
Following this new blueprint for wealth creation, I soon began earning regular affiliate commissions, and attracting other people who were searching for help to market their business or just make some extra money on the internet.
As a result, the world of network marketing suddenly appeared on my radar.
Why I Avoided Network Marketing – Until Now!
Frankly, up until then, the network marketing industry was something I had avoided. My only experience had been back in college, when one of my friends invited me over to watch a football game and have a few beers. When I and a bunch of buddies showed up, my "friend" brought out the flip charts and introduced his high pressure upline "leader" to put the hard sell on everyone. I would have run away as fast as I could, but there WAS free beer.
You can see why my first impression of the network marketing industry was not entirely positive. That experience had a long lasting negative impact on me.
I Won't Show You Mine If You Don't Show Me Yours – PLEASE!
Now that I am fully involved in helping others use the internet to grow their businesses through online marketing, I get pitched on new opportunities just about every day. I don't take offense, but that approach does not appeal to me.
I really am dedicated to help you increase YOUR wealth. Just understand that my wealth creation strategy does not involve joining your company.
At the same time, I promise that I will NOT try and convince you that my company is the best one for you. I chose the company I'm with because I like it the best. You need to choose the company that is the best fit for you. If you're expecting a sales pitch here, you're not going to get it. I don't work that way.
Anyone who's worked with me knows I will only make a recommendation if it is a perfect fit, has future growth potential, and has extremely high likelihood of creating wealth for me AND my partners. Without that, I won't consider it.
What Changed My Mind? Why Network Marketing Now?
Times have changed, the network marketing industry has changed, the rules of money have changed, and now if you are looking for a wealth creation strategy… Network Marketing just makes way too much sense.
If you are looking for your own personal wealth creation blueprint, a home-based network business may very well be your best strategy.
Having assisted people from a wide variety of other network (MLM) companies to grow their businesses online, I have been able to observe what virtually everyone of them goes through. Quite honestly, I had become skeptical of the entire industry for awhile.
That being said, I've come to the realization that the network marketing industry is the best opportunity for personal wealth creation in today's economy. You may not agree, but that's my perspective.
What I've Observed About Most Network Companies
– the Downside
If you're involved with a network (MLM) company right now, chances are that you're receiving some sort of product or service on auto-ship each month. It's either a health and wellness product, maybe a garment, jewelry or cosmetics. Or it could be a service like a phone plan, legal advice, travel package…you know what I'm getting at. Whether you like it or not, if you are on auto-ship, every month you're paying a fee for something.
I'm going to be brutally direct here and bring some cold hard truths about this industry out on the table. If your downline doesn't get into profit or fall absolutely in love with their auto-ship within 90 days, statistically most of them WILL cancel their auto-ship. You probably don't want to hear that, but "dem's da facts."
Let me paint a picture for you of a scene that plays out all across the country, actually the entire world, every single month. How common is this scenario? You be the judge.
You meet an attractive, outgoing, and personable individual who you are truly excited to sign up as a rep in your company.
A few months go by, and as she is relaxing at home, sipping a latte, the doorbell rings. She gets up to answer the door and catches a glimpse of Mr. UPS man hurrying back to his truck and says to herself.."Seriously? Has it been a month already? I still have last months auto-ship I haven't even touched".
So she goes to the closet, opens the door, and discovers the newest box just won't fit. As she carries the box out to start a pile in the garage, she comes to the conclusion that this auto-ship is just one more bill that she can do without. And at that point she makes THE DECISION. On Monday, she'll make the "I want to cancel my auto-ship" call, rationalizing that the product (or service) has become a liability and doesn't really have any value.
That may or may not be totally true, but if she's got more than she wants, it has NO REAL VALUE to her.
Now hold on! Before you overload my inbox with hate mail, take a look at an actual account of what one of the largest MLM companies around thinks about the value of their products.
Back in October of 2009, Melaleuca had 12 trucks dump 15 tons of vitamins into a local landfill in Idaho to make room for a whole new batch of improved products because the old stuff was ineffective. They had valued the products at 10.4 million dollars.
Seriously? Who are they trying to kid? The reason they dumped them was because they had zero value. Who would throw away 10 million dollars worth of anything?
Link to story: http://www.melaleucanews.com/melaleuca-dumps-old-vitamins-for-newer-formula/
How would you feel if you had a closet full of those landfill vitamins that cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over the past few years. Or how about the countless magic super- juices that cost you more than a frosty jumbo margarita in my restaurant? Would you really be buying that if you saw it on a shelf at your favorite store?
How to Choose a Network Company that Makes Sense
When we started, we were talking about wealth creation here, and I don't want to give you the wrong impression. In reality I believe the network marketing industry is terrific and that it is the business model of the future. Not only that, I also believe there are many fantastic products out there.
It's just that when all is said and done, what counts is the real value of the stuff you are buying every month! In most companies if you haven't given it away as a sample, you've consumed it, it's expired, or you've thrown it out because it's no longer any good. It's now worth absolutely nothing, nada, zippo. This is why many organizations in the MLM industry will continuously have such an outrageously high attrition rate – you pay for your autoship and you're left with nothing to show for it.
-the Upside
Now I've shown you what I consider the downside. But wait, there is an upside…..
Of the thousands of wealth creation opportunities I researched, this ONE actually got me to sit up, take notice, and choose network marketing
as my wealth creation strategy.
I selected this company because:
- I like to HAVE FUN, MAKE MONEY, ENJOY LIFE, and HELP OTHERS do the same.
- Memorable experiences with your loved ones will never go away.
- Every single person on the planet would love to vacation more often!
- This the only network marketing company to have created their own award winning travel booking engine! They don't rely on another travel service.
- I love to go on vacation with people I enjoy, especially at wholesale prices.
- As a distributors in this company, you will enjoy life more even if you never sponsor a single sole!
- The monthly auto-ship has no shipping cost, and I can't wait to use it…
You get credit for every dollar you pay towards future vacations!
- Once you refer 4 other members, your monthly fee is ZERO!
- Everyone understands taking fun vacations. This requires no demonstration, no explanation and no testimonial!
- This company has been attracting top earners from around the industry simply because the program just makes sense!.
- We get paid to GO ON VACATION WITH FRIENDS and tell others about it.
You already do that… you just don't get paid for it..
Don't say I didn't warn you.
It' up to you to decide this opportunity is a good fit for you, but if traveling at wholesale prices will help you enjoy your life more, then ==> Join Our Fun Travel Club Today<==
