It is in the charming village with its leisurely pathways, hushed coconut groves, ancestral houses and suffusing greenery that the equanimous heart of Goa beats. Saligao's history records no battles nor does it occupy any strategic geographical position. It has not at any time been a point of key importance in the defence of Bardez. Never a fortress is known to have been erected there. Of course, marauding bands of warriors must have crossed and re-crossed its borders, and an occasional skirmish might have disturbed its sylvan calm. But a major battle in Saligao? Never(5).
Saligao falls on the ancient horse trade route linking the Chapora-Anjuna ancient port area to Mapuca where Dr. Dume had discovered a Roman amphora indicating Roman trade contacts through the then deep and navigable Mapusa river. This study attempts to scientifically and objectively document the pre-Portuguese history of Goa, and hence of the village, as Saligao is in many ways the archetypal Goan village.
The origin of the name Saligao has not been conclusively ascertained. Before this Goan village came under Portuguese domination it was known as Salgaon. It was the Portuguese who lusitanised it to Saligão by adding an "i" to sal. However, Monsenhor Sebastião Rodolfo Dalgado in his famous Konkani-Portuguese dictionary(1), traces its origin to Jira-sal or Jeera-sal, a variety of paddy grown in the village. Dr. Nandkumar Kamat adds that Saligao produced abundant crops of this delicious and highly prized variety of a very tasty, easy-to-cook rice – the giresal paddy(2). So the village name is derived from (gire) sal + gão (village) or a "village which produced giresal paddy". He also adds that 'Marathi literature sings the glories of "giresal bhat"', the Goan equivalent of scented Basmati. This wild and later (about 3500 years ago) domesticated strain of Gondwana rice (about 55 million years old) is now disappearing from Goa along with 50 other wild rice strains. Today, Saligaokars who step in the fields prefer the hybrid varieties of rice(3). Before the integration of Goa into India on 19 December 1961, Saligaokars sowed giresal in their fields, but today hardly anyone does so.
Sal, with its variants sol and sil is an Indo-European root-word meaning wooded or forested area and if one looks at the village from the Saligao-Seminary hilltop one gets the impression that Saligao means a wooded village or a woodland, considering that the forest cover is still high in the village. Could the name of this Goan village have been derived from the word sal? This latter contention is reinforced by the one time profusion of sal trees in Salmona (ancient vaddo in Saligao), known in Konkani as 'sailo' (Shorea robosta) which differs from Tectona grandis. This sal tree in Saligao is distinguished by its long bare trunk crowned with a cluster of large tobacco-like leaves. Reference to sal trees is found in Vedic literature and, according to some Sanskrit scholars, it is the form of the tree which gave rise to the expression, "your hands (arms) are as long as the sal".
A capelinha (small chapel) on the way to Salmona via Souza vaddo near Archbishop Emeritus Henry Sebastian D'Souza's house is known as Saileantleam Kopel in a property called "Sailem" or "Soilem"(4). However, the trees are slowly disappearing.
Or could the name of this Goan village be an adaptation of the name Sylvia or Silvia, which is the feminine of Silvius meaning living in the woods?(5).
Despite records that go back to the 16th century, nobody knows for sure, perhaps with good reason. Saligao is an apt name for this serene and sylvan village in Goa.
Dwellers in Pre-Historic Goa
Jose Pereira has attempted a chronology of Goan history leading up to 1510( 6 ). He illuminates traditions which have been overpowered by the mass of colonial and post-colonial history. In his view, the Goan population is descended from four races: the Negritos, the Proto-Australoids, the Dravidians and the Aryans. These races arrived in different stages, beginning with the Negritos in the 8th century BC from the shores of West Africa. They survive in the Andaman Islands, Malaya and Indonesia and the Philippines, but in India they were absorbed by the races that came after them. The Proto-Australoids came from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean, represented among the Gauddas, the Kunbis and the Mahars in Goa today. Sanskrit borrowed some words, as did its descendant, Konkani, from their languages, some of which are still spoken in remote places in India. Skilled in fishing and boat-making, and in the use of the lunar calendar, they are also credited with the most important feature of Goan tradition: the creation of village agriculture and village associations that came to be known as ganvkari or comunidades.
The boundary of Goa from earliest times is best defined by the area of jurisdiction of its ganvkari system started by the Proto-Australoid groups. These village communities worked hard at reclaiming and maintaining agricultural land. They reclaimed marshy soils, protected khazan lands and salt works, nurtured sweet water ponds and lakes, and fruit and vegetable plantations, besides coconut groves. A system of creeks and rivulets controlled by locally-made sluice gates increased the supply of fish. Indeed these creeks and rivers, which made up the waterways sought after by the contemporary tourist, are navigable for a total combined length of 270 km. They were well developed along with jetties long before the Portuguese period and used for trade and transshipment.
The Dravidians who followed the Proto-Australoid groups are supposed to have originated in the islands of the Aegean. Jose Pereira in Baroque Goa(7) recounts that they 'seem to have been the most civilised of all the foreigners to arrive in India in prehistoric times … (they) were city dwellers, and indeed … have created town planning itself. They also seem to have known how to construct docks. They had scripts of their own, and later inscribed them on their palm leaf manuscripts. They conducted a non-violent type of worship that later came to be known as puja, adored mother goddesses, and practiced a form of yoga. They seem to have built temples, where they worshipped their gods in the form of icons. Thus the Betal-Santer cult of the original inhabitants of Goa merged with the Aryan culture. The Betal-Santer cult is the original cult of the Gauddes and Kunbis. Santer is a representation of the roin (ant hill) which again is the symbolic representation of the fertility cult. Santer in Goa is represented as mother earth. Betal is the male counterpart. This cult was later represented as the icon of the linga (phallus of Lord Shiva, the male counterpart of the female Shakti). The cult of Shanta or Shanta Durga (in Goa the Goddess of Peace) was brought from Trihotrapur (modern Tirhut in Bihar-Bengal or the ancient Gaud region) by the Aryan Saraswat Brahmins. The Mangesh cult brought again by the Aryan Saraswats was the Aryanised version of the Santer cult. Still later, the cult of the mother goddess was incorporated into Christianity and is still popular in Goa.
The Aryans, the last to arrive around 2500 BC and the most martial of our races, subdued the others. They originated possibly from the banks of the River Dnieper in what is today Russia. On arrival in India they added a fourth class to their social structure of three classes – Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaishya – that of Sudras. This became the caste system of India. Jose Pereira, who is a student of the Sanskrit language, writes lucidly in Song of Goa(8 ) about Sankrit, the language of the Aryans : '… phenomenally rich in words and shades of meaning … the preeminent cultural speech of the subcontinent through most of its history and the vehicle of its greatest history and theological expression'.
The Goan history of ancient and medieval Goa is that of contests for power: a succession of dynasties warred among themselves. The loser carried on administration as a feudatory. The Satavahana dynasty ruled in the Deccan around 2nd century BC and the annexed Konkan, including the territory held by the Bhojas in Goa. However, they intermarried, leaving the Bhojas free to administer their lands as feudatories. The Satavahans escorted foreign ships to Broach. Coins found at Chandrapur-modern Chandor in the taluka of Salcete-suggest the ancient commercial glory of this city of the Bhojas. With the fall of the Satavahanas in the 4th century AD, seaborne trade diminished. It was restored by the Badami Chalukyas during the 7th century.
Reign of the Indic Dynasties(9)
By the 6th century BC, the Indian subcontinent had become a mosaic of peoples, ethnically multifarious and politically fragmented into smaller or larger kingdoms and republics. At the time of Buddha (c.563-c.483 BC) there were three kingdoms in the north, the largest that of Magadha, ruled by the Haryanka dynasty (546-414 BC). Succeeding these kingdoms in more or less the same region were those ruled by the Shaishunaga (414-364 BC) and Nanda (364-324 BC) kings. Around this time Alexander raided northwestern India (327-324 BC), but was unable or unwilling to move deeper into the subcontinent. In his progress eastwards from his native Macedonia he had destroyed the Persian empire of the Achaemenids (c.550-330 BC), the first of the "world" empires known to history, a realm extending from the Nile to the Indus. While the idea of an empire as a polity composed of peoples ruled by a master race or dynasty had already been advanced by the early Hindu scriptures known as the Brahmanas, it was not the Aryans of India but those of Iran who realised this idea in actual fact.
Yet the Indians were not tardy in adopting the polity of empire to unite their own subcontinent, north and south. It was an empire presided over by the Mauryas (320-183 BC), founded by Chandragupta, the expeller of Alexander's forces from Indian soil. Chandragupta's grandson Ashoka (ruled 268-232 BC), the greatest of the Buddhist emperors, and the ardent propagator of his faith to foreign nations, governed all of India except Assam and the tip of the peninsula. The official language of the empire was not the "refined" Sanskrit, but one of the speeches that evolved from it, speeches collectively known as the "unrefined" language or Prakrit.
Ashoka's empire was on the Iranian model, one divided into provinces administered by governors subject to the emperor. But eventually a characteristically Indian and loose imperial model emerged where the emperor exercised no more than ceremonial lordship over more or less autonomous feudatory kings. The institution seemed calculated to incite the feudatories, themselves avid for the imperial status, to constant rebellion, one which debilitated the Indian body politic and encouraged the Muhammadans in the west to invade and ravage the sub-continent.
The first great empire on the Indian model was that of the Satavahanas ("Horse Riders"? c.231 B.C. – A.D. 225) of Southern India. Founded by Simuka (c.231-208 B.C.), and including Goa in its domains, it was raised to the summit of its power by Gautamiputra Satakarni (ruled AD 86-110). The official language of the Satavahanas was also a Prakrit, but in the 1st century AD it was already becoming archaic in relation to the Prakrit actually spoken in the empire. This was the Maharashtri Prakrit, which in turn gave birth to the southern Indo-Aryan speeches Konkani and its sister-tongue Marathi. Maharashtri, considered the most euphonious of the Prakrits, abounded in folksongs of unparalleled beauty, lyricism and picturesqueness, so much so that even city poets wrote imitations of them. A Satavahana emperor (known as Hala, but who actually may have been Pulumayi II, ruled c. A.D. 130-c.160) was inspired to collect both the folksongs and their imitations and compile an anthology which he called The Seven Hundred Songs (Gahasattasai/Gathasaptasati).
A dark age descended on India after the collapse of the Satavahana empire. The North recovered from it in less than two centuries, but in the South the darkness endured for nearly five. Stability returned to that region with the empire of the Chalukyas of Badami (AD 535-757). Its greatest ruler was Pulakeshin (ruled 610-642) who aimed at conquering all of India, as did his northern rival Harsha (ruled 607-647), but each checked the expansion of the other. The Aryanisation of Goa, begun under the Mauryas (if not earlier), intensified under the Chalukyas. Among the Aryan or Aryanised families in Goa around this time were the Rashtrakutas ("Crest of the Nation"), successors of the Chalukyas as empire builders. It is not clear whether the Rashtrakutas were established anywhere else in India at this time; hence it is quite possible that they are of Goan origin, for they themselves claimed to have originated from a place called Lattala (or Lattalura), which could well have been the Goan village of Lottali or Lottli (Loutolim) in Saxtty (Salcete).(10)
As mentioned earlier, the Aryanisation of Goa began under the Mauryas. The Girnar rock edicts of Ashoka refer to a people known as Pettnikars, Rashtukas and Bhojas who had settled down in the semi-independent kingdoms on the southern border of the Mauryan Empire in the Deccan and the Konkan coast. According to Puranic tradition, the Bhojas belonged to the subdivision of Yadavas of the Aryan race of Kaikeyas and appear to have settled down in the Konkan or Aparant in the 3rd century BC during Ashoka's reign. In post-Vedic Sanskrit literature they figure as a clan of rulers. Although originally governed by the tribal constitution in which authority was vested in the chosen representatives, these selected leaders appear to have eventually become hereditary rulers.
The thirteenth edict reveals that these peoples observed Ashokan instructions on morality. The earliest known record of a Bhoja ruler in Goa, King Devaraj, was found in South Goa in Siroda. Issued from Chandrapur, this plate dates back to the 3rd or 4th century AD. Written in southern Brahmi, it has the royal emblem of the elephant. It records the grant of tolls to two Brahmins, Govindswami and Indraswami of Bhardwaj gotra, along with a house and some pasture land for cows. The Bhoja rulers of Chandrapur appear to have controlled the area on the west coast beyond Goa. Records of grants by Bhoja kings have been found in the Ponda taluka and in areas of the Konkan further north and south of Goa.
The earliest record of the Chalukya period dated AD 610 refers to the great emperor Pulaskesi II. The Chalukyas became feudatories of the Rashtrakuta dynasty in AD 753 with the Konkan as a feudatory province. They remained feudatories till AD 980. The Silhares and the Kadambas later became feudatories of the Rashtrakutas. They were maritime powers who defended the west coast and traded with the countries of West Asia and East Africa. The history of Goa during this period recounts the fight for supremacy of the western ocean among these various powers.
The Kadambas of Goa ruled from AD 1008 to AD 1300. The greatest of them was Jayakeshi II, an aggressive ruler and good administrator. They patronised the arts and learning, built structural stone temples and encouraged the study of the Vedas, Dharmashastras and Vedanta, as also of traditional knowledge of history. Although agriculture was the main occupation, there was a wealthy trading and industrial class, a flourishing mercantile community, fruits, oil, spices, camphor, perfumes and betel leaves. They developed Tiswadi island with small ports.
A copper plate of Jayakeshi I dated AD 1053 reveals that Gopakapattana, their capital, was one of the most important emporiums on the west coast, a centre of international trade, attracting people from as far away as Sumatra, Zanzibar and Sri Lanka, apart from Indian coastal regions like Bengal, Gujarat and Kerala. Inscriptions describe the splendour of the capital. Goans cherish a subliminal consciousness of culture, spirituality and material prosperity when they recall this period. The name of the great capital cities of Chandrapura and Gopakapattana glow in collective memory.
"Plates of the Konkan Maurya King Anirjitavarman belonging to the sixth or seventh centuries have been found at Bandora. They concern the ownership of land by an unnamed Rashtrakuta; the area is distinctively named – Kumarzuem and Bardez – and precisely described using terms such as khazan land which make it unmistakably Goan. (COUTO, Maria Aurora, Goa – A Daughter's Story, Penguin Books India (P) Ltd., New Delhi, 2004, p.79).
"The Bahmani sultans ruled the Deccan from AD 1347 to 1489. Muhammed Shah Bahmani, who defeated Vijaynagar in AD 1368 was the first sultan to persecute the Hindus. The Konkanakhyana, an ancient text poem written by an anonymous poet, observes that the image of Saptakoteshwar, the family deity of the Kadambas was removed from the temple of Naroa in Divar and buried in a rice field nearby for fear of desecration in 1356. It is the most ancient, the Shivalinga believed to have been consecrated by the Sapta Rishis, or seven sages, themselves. When Madhav Mantri of Vijayanagar first conquered Goa around 1369 he restored the temple. The Saptakoteshwar is the most ancient of temples, situated on a hill that came to be known as the Kashi of the Konkan. Historically the temple is said to have been constructed around AD 1155 by the Kadamba queen Kamaladevi, wife of Permadideva Shivachitta Kadamba. The Kadamba Kings revered their family deity, Shiva, prefixed his name to their titles and maintained the architectural splendour of the temple.
The Bahmanis moved towards the Konkan to safeguard Muslim trading vessels. The powerful Rayas of Khelna and Sangameshwar on the west coast to the north of Goa sent hundreds of boats to attack Muslim ships and plunder pilgrims going to Mecca. These piratical raids led to the decline in maritime commerce of the time. Finally the Bahmani emperor sent Mahmud Gawan to the Konkan and Goa was annexed in 1472. The area was then divided into provinces, each with a governor. Some of them revolted, and Yusuf Adil Khal founded the Adil Shahi dynasty of Bijapur in 1489. The squabbling generals divided the spoils of the Bahmani kingdom among themselves. In 1500, Goa was unequivocally settled as part of the Adil Shah kingdom, after having been buffeted between Vijayanagar and the Bahmanis for several decades. Administration was left to the village ganvkars, and ancient chiefs of mahals (akin to the modern taluka) like sardessais and dessais were confirmed in their offices. Dessai is the title of a chieftain which is a corruption of ruler of desh (territory). They were chieftains appointed by the Adil Shah to look after the various mahals. Their duties included maintaining law and order and collecting revenues. Their position was, however, below that of a governor. But this, too, was to last only one decade.
The European invasion began in 1510. Albuquerque's armies, followed by traders from all parts of the continent, made Goa their home finding here a lucrative way of life and adventurism. It was from Adil Shah that the Portuguese, under Afonso de Albuquerque, conquered Tiswadi, the island of Goa, in 1510 in collusion with Goan Brahmin chieftains and traders whose fortunes were being affected by Turkish traders' monopoly of transoceanic trade, especially in horses. The leaders of this group have been identified as Mhall Pai Vernekar, a powerful and popular sardessai of Verna, and Timaji, the governor of Honavar and a Vijayanagar admiral. Although Mhall Pai was given a land grant near the capital city, the Portuguese had no intention of sharing power. Twenty-five years later, frustrated ambitions and religious persecution made him conspire with Adil Shah to overthrow the Portuguese. His betrayal was discovered and he had to flee to Cochin where he lived in exile until his death.
Timaji (or Timoja as he was called also) was clearly the wilier of the two. Historians are yet to agree whether he was a Maratha, a Kannadiga or a Goan; a Hindu or a Jain; a pirate, a leader of robbers, a man of low birth, a high-ranking officer of the Vijayanagar king who was married to the Princess of Gersoppa, a good man as Albuquerque believed him to be, a willing collaborator, or a quisling. Before Albuquerque had arrived on the scene, Timaji had attempted an investigation of Vasco da Gama's fleet anchored near Anjediva for repairs and provisioning. He had established cordial relations with the first viceroy, Francisco de Almeida, who had no territorial ambitions for the Portuguese. Was Timaji interested in the Portuguese as an ally for Vijayanagar against the Muslim rulers? Whatever his reasons, he made peace with them and won for himself a cartaz, a permit to sail the waters freely(11).

UK government Health Secretary Andrew Lansley's handling of NHS reforms in England has prompted an overwhelming 'no confidence' vote from nurses.
On 13 April 2011, delegates at the Royal College of Nursing conference in Liverpool voted 98.7 per cent in favour of the motion - 96 per cent if allowing for 13 abstentions.
The nurses are furious that Mr Lansley has refused to deliver a keynote speech to the conference, opting instead to meet a group of around 60 nurses in Liverpool as part of the government's "listening exercise" on the controversial reforms.
They say this is PR rather than listening.
For his part, the Health Secretary, who is due to arrive at the conference in the afternoon, appears unmoved by the almost unanimous dissent from a union and professional association usually seen as being more conservative than many others, say reporters.
In response to the RCN no confidence vote, Mr Lansley said that he is "listening" to the concerns expressed about the Health and Social Care Bill, but that it must go through because it is "vital".
"Nurses want further nurse involvement in decisions. So do I. I understand their concerns. We are listening to nurses and will make improvements," he declared.
Health Service Journal editor Alastair McLellan has suggested that some in the RCN leadership may be less than happy with the vote, feeling that it makes negotiations with the government more difficult, and that the British Medical Association (BMA) has handled things better.
But the BBC has suggested that, given public support for nurses, the 'no confidence' motion has ratcheted up pressure on the government.
Labour former spin-doctor Alastair Campbell says that whereas Margaret Thatcher was not for turning, "David Cameron is."
Meanwhile, the Royal College of Nursing says that it is a myth that NHS frontline care and services are being protected by the government's programmes, and says cuts will lead to "fewer services, fewer nurses and a worse NHS".
Evidence from 21 NHS trusts in England showed 54 per cent of nearly 10,000 posts due to be cut are frontline clinical posts. The RCN also found that nursing posts account for 46 per cent of identified workforce cuts.
The findings put further pressure on the Government to say how patient services will be protected, as trusts in England alone aim to save £20 billion by 2015.
Dr Peter Carter, RCN Chief Executive & General Secretary, said clinical staff were the 'lifeblood of the NHS' but were haemorrhaging at an alarming rate.
He declared: "Many trusts are not being transparent by admitting to the proportion of clinical jobs being lost. From our research we now know the truth – the majority of job losses are frontline clinical jobs, the jobs that matter to patients.
"Cutting thousands of frontline doctors and nurses could have a catastrophic impact on patient safety and care. Our figures expose the myth that frontline staff and services are protected."
The RCN's Frontline First campaign has identified almost 40,000 NHS posts facing the axe over the next three years. While the RCN looked in detail at 21 trusts, it also studied intelligence from 130 NHS organisations in England.
Additionally, services that help keep patients out of hospital, save money and decrease the NHS's burden are being closed. These include intermediate care for patients who have been discharged, a residential detoxifcation and treatment unit, and family nurse partnerships and community falls services.
Dr Carter added that patients are not getting the same care as they did a year ago.
He said: 'We know savings need to be made but cutting frontline staff and services is not the way to do it. While we are in an interim phase with new structures taking place we are seeing many patient services which we fear may simply disappear forever."

Mahāmudrā is a simple, direct method for looking beyond our thoughts to the very nature of conscious experience. It is said mahāmudrā is not attained not because it is too difficult but because it is too easy, not because it is too far but because it is too close, and not because it is hidden but because it is too evident.
The Mind of Mahāmudrā highlights this central meditation practice of the Kagyü school of Tibetan Buddhism through six texts ranging from the twelfth-century to the seventeenth and including such celebrated authors as Lama Shang and the Third Karmapa. Eminent scholar Peter Alan Roberts draws on his thirty-plus years of experience of translating for Tibetan lamas to illuminate these benchmark translations.
Read the biographies of Lama Shang and the Third Karmapa, Rangjung Dorje at the Treasury of Lives.

Warped Tour Not At The Gorge This Year?
I remember last years warped tour at the Gorge needless to say it was awesome. but this year the tour will not be going to the gorge, instead they will be going to Marymoor Park in Redmond.
I've never been to Marymoor Park but from what my dad tells me and what Ive looked up online it looks like a amazing place to spend a day listening to music. Marymoor park is located in King County at the north end of Lake Sammamish. The place is HUGE! its over 640 acres!! So don't be bummed out that it wont be at the Gorge this year, be excited that it got moved to an awesome location.

Anderson Cooper is a Tool
Last night I watched CNN for the first time in years. Why would I turn to the dark side for my information after many years of happily watching FoxNews, you ask? High Definition, that's why. Yesterday, DirecTV rolled out its expanded HD channels, which happens to include CNN-HD. And I'll admit, CNN has never looked better. But quality news and a quality image don't seem to add up in the case of CNN-HD. The reason: Anderson Cooper.
I've never really had a reason to dislike Mr. Cooper - even despite my annoyance at parents who name their kids with a last name for a first name (so trendy), but I digress. Before I tuned in to CNN last night, he seemed like an OK guy, if not a little taken in by the Clooney school of political thought. But since I never watch CNN (due to the blatant, America-hating, liberal viewpoints espoused in every story broadcast on that channel), I hadn't formed much of an opinion on the guy. Well, that changed last night. Anderson Cooper is a pandering, sniveling opportunist who is clearly serving a political interest that is not neutral.
My first clue was when Mr. Cooper was talking about the strife in Burma. He used the word Burma several times, and then made a big point about how it was wrong to use that name, because "the native government and the United Nations recognize the name as Myanmar" or something like that. Then Cooper goes on to smugly talk about how evil and repressive the government of that nation is.
Well, Mr. Cooper, do you know that the same evil and repressive government that kills defensive monks and innocent civilians is the same government demanding the world call it Myanmar? Did you know that the freedom fighters in that country still call it Burma? Did you know that the US, UK and Australia still call the country Burma because we don't recognize the names of countries that are changed by oppressive military regimes? Apparently not, because you're a "trying-to-sound enlightened" tool talking out of two-sides of your mouth like the rest of the hypocrites on CNN.
But still, I thought, maybe Mr. Cooper isn't that bad. After all, he's just falling victim to the standard, blinded mindset that gives most liberals extreme tunnel-vision. Until, that is, I saw his interview with Bill Clinton.
From the start, it was obvious that Bill Clinton is Anderson Cooper's hero. During the interview. Mr. Two-Last-Names threw him softball questions, and goaded Clinton into coming unhinged while talking about republicans (Clinton lost his temper when referring to the GOP as "those people" before proceeding to attack the patriotism of the entire party). And instead of asking Clinton to clarify his remarks like most responsible journalists would do, Cooper just lapped it up. Then he continued to play Clinton's tirade in his promo clips all through the broadcast.
This experience has proven useful to me, in that it has helped me understand a few things. First, HD or no, CNN is still garbage. Second, Anderson Cooper is, indeed, a tool. And lastly, Bill O'Reilly really isn't kidding when he talks about how far CNN has fallen. I've seen it for myself (and now understand why Cooper's ratings are in the toilet). But if you don't believe me, see it for yourself. After all, I report, you decide.

The Florida Panthers made another
bold move last week by trading AHL players with the Edmonton Oilers. I wonder what bright light lit up inside Dale Tallon's mind when he looked at the Panthers atrocious power play and lack of offensive fire-power and then decided to trade Steve Pinizzotto and Jack Combs for Ryan Martindale and Derek Nesbitt.
Okay, okay, i'm just kidding. I know Tallon is just trying to make sure our boys coming up through the AHL aren't playing on a losing team, and we got some pretty good players in return. But the Panthers need work.
And with Tallon recently pouring a few nourishing words into Panthers fans starving ears upon his announcement to the media that Vinnie Viola had given the green light to spend to the ceiling cap, I think every Florida Panther fans heart fluttered with excitement when they first heard there was a trade. Unfortunately, the trade hasn't had any foreseeable impact on the Florida Panthers roster, nor is it the kind of blockbuster trade that should turn the San Antonio Rampage into perennial contenders.
It's hard to tell if this trade addresses a problem or reveals a bigger problem; has Dale Tallon assembled a Florida Panthers roster full of players that have no trade value? Looking back to earlier in the season, he essentially had to pay the Blackhawks to take half of Versteeg's contract even though he received two NHL hockey players in return. The fact that two NHL hockey players in exchange for Kris Versteeg alone wasn't deemed a fair enough trade frightens me when I think of how much we'd have to pay to trade a guy like Tom Gilbert.
I understand that trading players we had to suck for an entire season to get via the draft is not the solution to rebuilding a franchise, but surely Tallon should be able to find trade value for people like Shawn Matthias, Krys Barch, and Tomas Fleischmann. And if he can't find any teams willing to put these players on their team, maybe that's sheds a little bit of light on why we are a losing franchise.
I know Dale Tallon might deem it wise to wait until the trade deadline to make any moves so he can get more value from teams looking for that extra boost in the postseason, but Panthers fans deserve more than what we are getting out of the team right now and making us wait until we miss the playoffs is absolutely preposterous when we're playing the way we are.
If we judge Tallon – and the rest of the gang that thought Club Red was a good idea – based on their actions instead of their words, the message that Dale Tallon and the Florida Panthers organization is sending to the Panthers fan base is clear: "You are investing your time and energy in a defective product and you'll have to wait a long time before we fix it."
When's the last time that was ever an appropriate way to treat your customers disenchanted by bad service anyway? Where else in the world could you go where that is an appropriate response to low quality performance? Can you imagine receiving a defective meal from a restaurant and yet still returning again and again after the manager tells you that "you are investing your time and energy in a defective product and you'll have to wait a long time before we fix it" in hopes that one day your meal will taste like a meal from a five star restaurant?
This actually sounds a lot like the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Unfortunately for me, that loud and resounding message is clearly not enough to keep me away from paying attention to the Panthers squad in my free time. Even though we are one of the regular bottom feeders of the NHL, I really, really hope that Dale Tallon can reward us with
a free dessert a high scoring power forward down the road for making us put up with the worst power play in the league and another year of mediocrity.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow)– The University of Hawaii baseball team was one strike away from notching its first victory of the season but couldn't hold on in a 7-5 loss to Rice on Sunday afternoon at Les Murakami Stadium. The Rainbows (0-7) were one strike away from the win but saw Rice (5-2) score three runs in the top of the ninth.
Lawrence Chew (0-1), on in relief of starter Corey MacDonald, was one strike away from the save. Chew worked the count full with two outs to Keenan Cook (2 H, 2 R, 1 RBI), who promptly slapped Chew's pitch to left field and score Skyler Ewing (1 R) from third base to tie the game. The Owls tacked on another pair of runs when reliever Bryan Burgher walked and hit a batter, both with the bases loaded.
Alan Baldwin had two hits and scored one run in his first collegiate appearance, and Adam Hurley notched a hit and two RBI.
Shane Hoeschler and Christian Stringer both had three hits and one run for Rice with Stringer adding four RBI. Chase McDowell (1-0) worked six and one-third innings of relief for the win and Zech Lemond earned the save (3).
The Owls struck first with a pair of runs in the first inning. MacDonald retired the first two batters, but ran into trouble when he walked Hoeschler then gave up a run-scoring double to Stringer. Stringer was driven home by John Williamson's single on the next at bat.
In a turn of events that were long overdue, the 'Bows exploded for five runs in the second inning. Kalei Hanawahine (1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI) drove home Baldwin with a base hit to open the scoring, and the inning was capped by Hurley's two-RBI single up the middle. Owl starter Kevin McCanna was lifted with two outs in the inning but not before surrendering five runs, three of them earned.
After allowing four runs in the first three innings, MacDonald found his grove and pitched scoreless ball before being lifted after seven complete innings for Chew. MacDonald allowed four runs on eight hits with four strikeouts. Chew allowed a base hit, but came up big when he struck out Leon Byrd (0-3) with runners at the corners to preserve the lead, one he eventually relinquished.
The series concludes Monday when the two teams meet at Les Murakami Stadium at 6:35 p.m.

'Manorexia' On the Rise — Over 25% of Eating Disorders Now Battled by Men
It's no longer just women who are starving themselves to be thin.
Experts believe that the media's increased glamorization of chiseled male bodies and six-pack abs are leading more and more men to suffer from eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.
A recent study in England revealed a 66 percent increase in hospital admissions for male eating disorders over the past decade. A few years ago, a poll of Americans found that 25 percent of those with anorexia or bulimia were male.
Health officials worry that doctors are slow to identify the signs of eating disorders in men, instead attributing extreme male weight loss to depression or other factors.
To make matters even trickier, men are often reluctant to own up to having an eating disorder, because they are embarrassed to admit they suffer an affliction that is associated with women.

Bute Advice Centre's 25 years of offering welfare advice to the island's residents was celebrated in Rothesay on Friday.
Staff, committee members and representatives of the many local organisations with whom the centre works were present at the organisation's new base in Rothesay.
The centre has recently completed a move from first-floor premises in Bishop Street to a ground floor operations centre further along the same street, allowing easier access for clients with limited mobility.
The organisation was actually founded 30 years ago, but this year is celebrating 25 years of operation as an independent organisation.
Charlie Fryars, chairman of the center's management committee, said: "I would defy anyone to go to another community of six and a half thousand people and find an organisation like ours offering the range of advice we do."
Bute Advice Centre's services include offering advice and information on consumer rights, welfare and benefits, credit and deby management, health, housing, relationship and legal issues.
The centre also oversees the island's food bank, working in partnership with local non-profit organisation Bute Oasis, which provides funds for the facility through sales of second-hand goods from its shop in Rothesay's Argyle Street.

John Papa Gros Band
Wednesday, March 1
The John "Papa" Gros Band sounds sort of like the full song versions of tunes sampled for hip-hop tracks back in the early 90s – which is amazing. While still retaining a bit of funk from his former project, Papa Grows Funk, singer and keyboardist John Papa Gros approaches the singer-songerwriter genre with all the grit and musk of Bourbon Street in New Orleans. 7:30pm, $12-$40, Sam's Burger Joint, 330 E. Grayson St.
Overkill, Nile
Thursday, March 2
Besides Overkill's ridiculously fast thrash guitar riffage, you can't help but also appreciate their singer's unflinching dedication to 80s-style high-pitched wailing (insert spandex high kick here) even after three decades as a band. Also on the bill is none other than Nile, a technical death metal band whose lyricism is punctuated with references about Egyptian curses and sacrifices. You know, real metal shit. 7pm, $27, Alamo City Music Hall, 1305 E Houston St.
Friday, March 3
Formed in Sacramento during the early 80s, Tesla is pretty much the epitome of hair metal: over-the-top guitar solos and hair – lots of hair. After a few line-up changes from members dealing with substance abuse issues (also hair metal), the California five-piece are on tour to remind us that the 80s may be gone but never forgotten. 8pm, $35-$69, Aztec Theatre, 104 N. St. Mary's St.
Sure, Holy Wave, incorporates some psychedelic elements, but to just call them plain 'ol "psyche-rock" act would mislabel the band, whose music encompasses a vast spectrum of rock stylings. Hailing from Austin and about to embark on a tour through Mexico and Argentina, Holy Wave produces a sound as effervescent as it is powerful – all due to reflective, mature songwriting skills and stellar musicianship. With Bright Like The Sun, 9pm, $8, Limelight, 2718 N. St. Mary's St.
The Koffin Kats
Friday, March 3
A psychobilly/punk band with influences ranging from The Damned to The Stray Cats, The Koffin Kats harness the best elements of rockabilly and d-beat punk rock to create a sound that's spooky and aggressive yet, strangely charming. With Sick City Daggers, The Cretin Bop, 8pm, $10-$13, The Korova, 107 E. Martin St.
Born Of Osiris,
Saturday, March 4
"Djent" is a subgenre of metal incorporating almost random staccato guitar and double-bass drum hits, usually woven together by groovy metalcore beats and screaming. Born Of Osiris, hailing from the Northland Chicago metal scene, are one of the few bands to do djent exceptionally well. With Volumes, Oceans Ate Alaska, Within The Ruins, Fire From The Gods, Paper Tiger, 2410 N. St. Mary's St.
The Virus
Monday, March 6
After almost a decade haitus from shows, The Virus returned in 2014 for a few reunion shows before heading out for a tour of the west coast. Snarling, loud, and straight up in-your-face punk rock, The Virus are sure to put on a show perfect for processing all your pent up aggression from the current state of affairs. With Corrupted Youth, 7:30pm, $10-$12, The Korova, 107 E. Martin St.
R. Kelly
Tuesday, March 7
On one hand, you've got R. Kelly, the multi-grammy award winning R&B sensation responsible for amazing hits like "I Believe I Can Fly" and "Gotham City". Then you've got R. Kelly, the married-Aaliyah-when-she-was-fourteen-then-urinated (allegedly) on-an-underage-girl-in-a-video weirdo, which sparked controversy around his personal life in the early 2000s and has never really died down. Regardless, the dude somehow remains one of the most influential R&B singers of all time – either a testament to his talent, or how much we, the audience, are willing to overlook for the sake of good art. 8pm, $74.50 - $175.00, The Tobin Center For The Performing Arts, 100 Auditorium Cir.

1. Chateau St. Michelle Riesling
It's an off-dry white wine with a sweet hint of lime and peach flavors. Soooo yummy with some frozen green grapes in it on a hot summer day. It's moderately priced, usually in the $11-$15 range at the grocery store. I feel the need to note that it has a corked bottle, so be sure to remember your wine bottle opener if you choose to take this wine outside of your house (I've done this on multiple occasions). Also, the bottle is pretty and nice to display even after you've drained it dry.
2. Korbel Brut Champagne
Yes, it counts as wine!
It's a medium-dry sparkling wine that we like to get for special occasions. I still have the cork from our New Year's Eve bottle. It's good with most food dishes and is also in the $11-$15 range at the grocery store. I kinda want the try their Riesling Champagne one day. Perhaps for our wedding! Ok hold on while I write that down in my wedding folder... ok. We're good.
3. Sutter Home Sweet Red
This is the only red wine I can drink without making a weird face. I'd love very much to drink red wine, but it's far to dry/bitter for my personal taste, so I was hesitant when my mom asked me to try a glass of this wine. I loved it! It's perfect when grilling burgers and just classy enough for a steak if you so choose to spend your money on red meat instead of a second bottle. This wine is in the $8-$12 range at the grocery store if you get the standard size bottle, but who does that? I think it's about $15-$20 for the larger bottle that's like two bottles in one.
4. Arbor Mist Mango Strawberry Moscato
This wine is delicious, and perfect for when you're broke. It's very sweet, but will still get you decent buzz if you drink a whole bottle yourself. Some of the other flavors are good, but this is my favorite and the one we purchase more often than not.
5. Sutter Home Moscato
Last, but certainly not least, this wine is a favorite in our house. It's sweet and light, also good with frozen fruit swimming in your glass. It's a good spring and summer wine, in my opinion and is in the affordable $8-$12 range at the grocery store.

Christine or "Chris" Lamb is this year's winner of the $1,000 grand prize from the Sheridan Chamber of Commerce Christmas Stroll Button contest. She collected her prize at the Chamber on Wednesday:
A winter storm warning for parts of northeast Wyoming, including the City of Sheridan, is in effect through Friday at 6 am.
Holiday Dining in Big Horn
State Legislators Rosie Berger & John Schiffer
It's become our custom to take a look back at the year that was. In this segment, Sheridan Media's Mary Jo Johnson re-caps the highlights of January through April, 2010.
The Wyoming Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the National AIA awarded eight scholarships to Wyoming students enrolled in accredited architecture programs. The scholarships range from $2000 to $3000.
The Buffalo Chamber of Commerce drew the final two winning button numbers last week, giving Roberta Schrater, with button number 883, and an unknown person with number 1011 each $300 in Buffalo Bucks.
In what turned out to be a fairly routine call, Johnson County Fire responded to a call last Friday afternoon of a vehicle fire on Highway 16 West of Buffalo.
Sheridan made the very first list; now it's Buffalo's turn. Here's Aaron Palmer with the story.
BRONC BASKETBALL - The Sheridan Bronc basketball team is back in the gym this week getting ready to start up the season again a week from tomorrow.
Head coach Mike Ibach says a few days off for Christmas rested up the Broncs and they've hit the court running this week. And with the players mentally refreshed they are having a good week so far.
They finished December 5-2 over all and Ibach says they were happy with the progress they saw and need to build on that success.

Moving is known to be one of the top stressors in an individuals life. By finding great reputable moving companies and moving trucks in South Gate you are sure to eliminate all stress related to your move. Moving Service in South Gate is not hard to come by, by doing a little research about moving companies and making a few phones calls to receive moving quotes and a moving Estimate regarding their moving trucks you are sure to have all the assistance and moving trucks you could possibly ask for. Here are a few considerations to keep in mind when deciding on one of the many moving companies available.
One of the most important aspects of moving companies is that they have a good reputation. Moving companies unfortunately have a bad rap for scamming people, however by doing proper research and truly getting to know the staff you will be at ease knowing that you chose the right company for your moving needs. By researching moving companies and reading reviews you are sure to get a good idea of how the company operates and what sort of business they run. You will also be able to figure out if they honor their moving quotes and stick to their moving Estimate.
Any good Moving Service in South Gate will offer the best when it comes to helping you move your house, apartment, or condo. They will offer a variety of services to assist you, including moving quotes and a moving Estimate. They will offer to pack your items and furniture as well as load up the moving trucks and then unload the moving trucks when you arrive at your new destination. By having the moving company pack your items you are guaranteed a high level of care and protection. These are professional movers who know how to pack any and every item into the moving trucks. The movers will be friendly, courteous, and professional. They will truly make the transition as smooth as possible for you.
Often the trouble with moving companies comes in the form of payment and not honoring moving quotes or the moving Estimate. However, a good reputable company will offer a moving quotes well in advance. They will come to your home or perform a screening regarding the amount of items being moved. From there they will be able to make a moving Estimate and provide moving quotes that they will then stick to. Meaning that when they do move your belongings you will not pay more than what was agreed upon in the moving Estimate and moving quotes. That is a huge concern when it comes to moving companies, so it is important that a good Moving Service in South Gate honor their moving Estimate and moving quotes.
So, if you are moving in the LA County area and are in need of Moving Service in South Gate do not hesitate to call. Why deal with the stress when you can have a reputable company pack your furniture into moving trucks and move it for you and then unload it from the moving trucks. This will allow you to truly focus on what is important.

12Foundations for Excellencethemselves, have a positive impact upon the students' fitness. Research has shown that dance performances are of a higher intensity than technique classes and rehearsals, and recent evidence with professional dancers demonstrated significant increases in fitness during performance periods (Wyon and Redding, 2005). A similar pattern seems to have emerged with the CAT dancers, meaning that while fitness is a trainable characteristic, it may change according to performance demands. Alternatively, we know that some CATs offer fitness training as part of their programme so this supplementary training may also play a part.Changes in heart rates over time (lower heart rates indicate greater aerobic fitness)Psychological variablesRegarding the psychological variables, we reported on self-esteem, passion and the motivational climate. Self-esteem is a global trait representing the favourable and unfavourable attitudes individuals have towards themselves. High self-esteem indicates largely favourable attitudes towards oneself. As such, high self-esteem can help dancers to cope with training, auditions and performances that can be both physically and emotionally demanding. We found that self-esteem values are relatively high in the CAT cohort; this is particularly positive given previous findings that dancers have low self-esteem or self-confidence (eg Laws, 2005). Self-esteem did not change over time which is what we would expect of a trait measure (ie it represents general feelings about the self over time). Passion for dance is intuitively important in staying committed to training but we tend to assume that individuals are either passionate or not. Furthermore, we often assume that once an individual is passionate about an activity, they will feel that way for life. However, our findings indicate that passion for dance can fluctuate: students appeared to become slightly less passionate about dance from winter to summer in both years. Could it be that exam pressure from schools and colleges, and the prospect of summer holidays, lessen the extent to which students feel passionate about dance during the summer term? We cannot answer this question yet, but interviews with young dancers who dropped out of the CATs showed that passion for dance can fade altogether. All of the young people who had withdrawn from the programme had been passionate about dance earlier in their development, but this had disappeared over time. Early intense involvement in dance, a lack of technical challenge, and a critical evaluation of dance as a career may all play a role in this loss of passion. More research is needed to understand fully the role of passion in dance talent, but it seems that while not exactly trainable, this is certainly a changeable characteristic. So even if a young dancer is passionate at audition, we cannot assume this passion will remain no matter what throughout his or her development.We have examined the potential impact of performances on physiological fitness, but what about the psychological impact of performance seasons? A final variable to discuss is the motivational climate (for a definition, see Sanna Nordin-Bates' paper). As the following chart shows, task climate perceptions were significantly greater than ego climate perceptions at all time points. This is an important finding suggesting that dancers perceive their teachers to value them equally, emphasise individual progression and encourage peer collaboration. However, during both years of the study, ego perceptions increased significantly in the summer data collections compared to the winter values. Is talent innate or trainable?

Here I will be posting creature concepts and I encourage others to do so as well. We need to liven Cyrodiil up with some "less generic fantasy" more "elder scrolls crazy" type creatures. We have a few concepts floating about that I will compile here from other areas as well. Mostly they are Revenants.
To start off I will be posting two creature designs that I came up with. The quality of the first image is not the greatest but it does the trick. Feel free to give these things names.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/224 ... 05_003.jpg
and here is one I drew last night. Tentatively called a Golan as a reference to Gollum who it kind of resembles.

May 18, 1917
Letter from Erle to Laura's sister, Bertha Huckleberry, a schoolteacher in North Vernon, Indiana:
Editorial Rooms
Western Newspaper Union
Newspaper Service
210 So. Desplaines St.
Chicago, May 18, 1917
My dear Miss Huckleberry, --
Laura and her hospital unit left Chicago for France at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. She thought you might be interested in the newspaper accounts of the departure, so I am sending those which appeared yesterday morning.
As departures go, this event was an unintentional comedy of high quality. The unit was composed of about 350 persons, and think each had a separate following of, say, 500 friends, relatives and enemies on hand to perform the ceremonies of farewell. When all were assembled it made quite a considerable foregathering, and it sounded like the bird house at the zoo.
Too, there were among those present a number of kind old ladies who went thither and yon distributing to the brave Red Cross lassies little bunches of wilted flowers, small flags and books. Laura received her volume just as she squeezed through the gate to the train shed. It was really handsomely bound and led to great expectations. After she had reached the coach and found her berth, she turned eagerly to an examination of the tome. All was revealed in the title page; it said: "Rob Roy." Ever hear of the story? Neither did we. But you never can tell what kind old ladies will do.
One of my kinswomen sent me a clipping about myself which she had lifted from the North Vernon Plaindealer. It was certainly a monument of misinformation and a vast libel on my patriotism. I am not going any where as a special correspondent; but I hope to start for France soon with my hospital unit and I trust I shall be given an opportunity to perform as a private. I believe I'd do any thing to get into this fight. It is unlikely, though, that unit eleven, of which I am a member, will leave Chicago before the latter part of June.
Surely you will forgive the commercial aspect of this letter when I tell you I was unable to find a single sheet of polite stationery in the whole works.
Sincerely –
J Erle Davis

Anders Åslund writes about the war in Donbas and the costs it imposes on Ukraine. The economic and humanitarian situation in the Donbas is terrible. Ukraine cannot afford to pay large amounts of public expenses to a territory that it does not control and where it cannot collect taxes. Rebels have looted banks and ATM machines, Ukrainian citizens have to collect their pensions on territory controlled by the Ukrainian government.

Struggling to figure out what to write in your journal this week? Check back often, and see what new prompts are here to help you out! Remember, you can ALWAYS journal your Peaks, Pits, Praises, and Prayers! Here are some guidelines to help:
BEGIN WITH PRAYER: Ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart and guide you.
DATE EVERY ENTRY: Recording the dates of each journal entry will help you to see the progress you've made.
WRITE WHAT IS ON YOUR HEART: Start by just talking to God and sharing your joys, victories, frustrations, anger, fears, heartaches, and praises with Him. You can write about special events, revelations, weaknesses, goals, dreams, memories, or scriptures that you love.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT MISTAKES: Don't worry about your spelling, your handwriting, or your content. Thinking too long and too hard about those pieces may keep you from being able to write what you want.
October 19, 2015: We've had some GORGEOUS fall weather lately. If you enjoy the beauty of nature, find pictures, leaves, flowers, or even go take photos of the season. Put them in your journal, and under each, write down the reasons why those scenes/items inspire you. Perhaps you might search for scriptures that speak about God's workmanship. You can think about all that God has created, and what a tin (but important!) part of that enormous universe we are.
October 29, 2015: Last night, we spent a lot of time talking about OTHER religions. What caught your interest about one of the religions (besides the flying spaghetti monster)? Talk about why it caught your interest - and how you think it helps them in their worship.
November 4, 2015: Thankfulness was the theme of our children's message on Sunday (and I KNOW everyone's working on their 30 days of Thankfuls, right?) What does being Thankful look like in your life? How do you keep an "attitude of gratitude" throughout the year, not just during November? If you find it hard to be grateful because of challenges in your life, how can you help yourself to see the little things that help create a sense of thankfulness?
November 24, 2015: After close to 30 days of Thankfuls, what have you learned this month? Have you found it easy to find a thankful for something every day? Has it been difficult? Did you find yourself looking for gratefulness in your everyday life? Most importantly - can you keep it up?
December 10, 2015: Last night, we talked about covenants, and specifically, YOUR confirmation covenant. Everyone wrote "Why I want to be confirmed." Expand on that idea - now that you have explained why you want to be confirmed, what do you expect from confirmation class? I mean, sure, everyone loves cupcakes ;-), but what do you really expect to get out every class - do you want to dig deep into history, skim the surface of a wide variety of topics, or do you have a specific topic you REALLY want to learn about?
December 23, 2015: Simply having a wonderful Christmastime? Or, maybe not-so-much? The holidays can be a rough time in some families. Think about what you can do to help friends and family that might be struggling. What can you do to help yourself, if you're struggling? And more importantly - what does any of that have to do with Jesus's birth? How can we help bring the conversation at Christmas away from "presents" and more to "presence?" How do we help people remember that this time is about celebration of God, and not just the awesome presents?
