against them with six vessels, who took two ships of Acheen on the coast
of Tanacerim richly laden. As the king of Aracan was desirous of
recovering possession of the fort and custom-house of Siriam, he sent an
ambassador to the king of _Tangu_ with twenty _jalias_ or small ships,
to prevail upon him to join in that enterprize. But Nicote sent
Bartholomew Ferreyra, who command the small craft, who put them to
flight, and they were forced to take refuge in the dominions of the king
of Jangona. Upon this, the enemy collected 700 small vessels and 40,000
men, under the command of the son of the king of Aracan, accompanied by
Ximicalia and Marquetam, sons to the reigning emperor of Pegu. Paul del
Rego went against them with seven ships and a number of war boats, and
defeated the prince with great loss, taking all his vessels, and
obliging him to make his escape by land. After this Paul took the fort
of _Chinim_ with a great number of prisoners, among whom was the wife of
At this time Nicote was abroad with fourteen small vessels, in which
were 60 Portuguese, and 200 Peguers; and learning that the prince was on
shore with 4000 men, 900 of whom were armed with firelocks, he landed
and attacked him, gaining a complete victory, and even taking the
prince. When the Peguers saw their prince carried off, they were all
eager to have accompanied him into captivity, and entreated to be
received into the Portuguese vessels, such as were refused bewailing
that they could not follow, as prisoners, him whom they had served
faithfully while at liberty. On this occasion Nicote gave a notable
example how brave men ought to use their victories. Remembering that he
had formerly been slave to the prince who was now his prisoner, he
served him with as much respect as he had done formerly; watching him
while asleep, and holding his baskins in his hands with his arms across,
as is done by the meanest servants of princes in that country, and
continually attended him on all occasions.
While these transactions were going on in Pegu, Don Martin Alfonzo de
Castro came to Goa as viceroy, to replace Ayres de Saldanna, in 1604.
Ximilixa, king of Aracan, sent to treat with Nicote for the ransom of
the prince, his son, and accordingly paid 50,000 crowns on that account,
although Nicote was ordered by the viceroy to set the prince free
without any ransom. Ximilixa afterwards besieged Siriam in conjunction
with the king of Tangu, who brought a great army against the town by
land, while Ximilixa shut it up by sea with 800 sail, in which he had
10,000 men. Paul del Rego went against him with 80 small vessels; and
failing of his former success, set fire to the powder and blew up his
ship, rather than fall into the hands of the enemy. The siege continued
so long, that the garrison was reduced to extremity, and on the point of
surrendering, when the king of Tangu retired one night with his army
upon some sudden suspicion, on which Ximilixa was likewise obliged to
draw off with his fleet. Several of the neighbouring princes were now so
much alarmed by the success of Nicote, that they solicited his
friendship, and to be admitted into alliance with the king of Portugal.
The first of these was the king of Tangu, and afterwards the king of
Martavan, who gave one of his daughters as a wife to Simon the son of
Nicote. Soon after, the king of Tangu being overcome in battle by the
king of _Ova_, and rendered tributary, Nicote united with the king of
Martavan, and invaded the dominions of Tangu, though in alliance with
that prince, took him prisoner and plundered him of above a million in
gold, although he protested that he was a faithful vassal to the king of
About this time another low adventurer, Sebastian Gonzalez Tibao, raised
himself by similar arts to great power in Aracan. In the year 1605,
Gonzalez embarked from Portugal for India, and going to Bengal, listed
as a soldier. By dealing in salt, which is an important article of trade
in that country, he soon gained a sufficient sum to purchase a _Jalia_,
or small vessel, in which he went with salt to Dianga, a great port in
Aracan. At this period, Nicote, who had possessed himself of Siriam, as
before related, wishing to acquire Dianga likewise, sent his son with
several small vessels thither on an embassy to the king of Aracan, to
endeavour to procure a grant of that port. Some Portuguese who then
resided at the court of Aracan, persuaded the king that the object of
Nicote in this demand; was to enable him to usurp the kingdom; upon
which insinuation the son of Nicote; and all his attendants were slain,
after which the same was done with the crews of his vessels, and all the
Portuguese inhabitants at Dianga, to the number of about 600 were put to
death, except a few who escaped on board nine or ten small vessels and
put out to sea. Among these was the vessel belonging to Sebastian
Gonzalez, who assumed the command; and as the fugitives were reduced to
great distress, they subsisted by plunder on the coasts of Aracan,
carrying their booty to the ports of the king of Bacala, who was in
friendship with the Portuguese.
Not long before this had died Emanuel de Mattos, who had been commander
of _Bandel_ of _Dianga_, and lord of _Sundiva_[426], an island about 70
leagues in compass, the subordinate command of which he had confided to
a valiant Moor named Fate Khan. On learning the death of Mattos, Fatecan
murdered all the Portuguese on the island of Sundiva, with their wives
and children, and all the Christian natives; and gathering a
considerable force of Moors and Patans, fitted out a fleet of 40 small
vessels, which he maintained by means of the ample revenue of the island
he had now usurped. Understanding that Sebastian Gonzalez and his small
squadron was cruizing near Sundiva, Fatecan went out to seek them with
such assurance of success, that he inscribed upon his colours, "Fate
Khan, by the grace of God, Lord of Sundiva, Shedder of Christian Blood,
and Destroyer of the Portuguese Nation." Sebastian and his companions
had put, into a river called _Xavaspur_, where they quarrelled about the
division of their spoil, and one Pinto sailed away from the rest in
disquiet; but meeting the fleet of Fatecan, who had hoped to surprize
the Christians he returned and gave his companions notice of their
danger. After a severe conflict, the 10 small vessels in which were only
80 Portuguese, proved victorious over the 40 vessels belonging to
Fatecan, though manned with 600 Moors, not a single vessel or man
escaping. After this great victory, the Portuguese agreed to appoint
Sebastian Gonzalez to command over the rest. Sebastian entered into a
treaty with the king of Bacala for his assistance to reduce the island
of Sundiva, engaging to pay him half the revenues of that island, and
accordingly procured from him some vessels, and 200 auxiliary horse.
Having likewise gathered a number of Portuguese from Bengal and other
parts, he saw himself, in March 1609, at the head of 400 Portuguese
troops, and had mustered a fleet of 40 small ships. In consequence of
the delay necessary for making these preparations, the island of Sundiva
was provided for defence, under a brother of the late Fatecan, who had
raised a respectable force of Moors. Sebastian, however, attempted its
conquest, and had nearly been forced to desist for want of provisions
and ammunition, when he was reinforced by a Spaniard named Gaspar de
Pina, who brought 50 men to his aid, after which they carried the fort
by assault, and put all its garrison to the sword. Having formerly been
subject to the Portuguese under de Mattos, the islanders immediately
submitted to Gonzalez, to whom they delivered upwards of 1000 Moors who
were scattered about the country, all of whom he put to death. Thus
Gonzalez became absolute master of the island, and was obeyed by the
natives and Portuguese like an independent prince.
[Footnote 426: It is highly probable, though not mentioned by De Faria,
that this Portuguese was in the service of the king of Aracan, under
whom he had held these offices. Sundiva or Sundeep is a considerable
island to the south-east of the mouth of the Burrampooter, near the
coast of Chittagong, and to the east of the Sunderbunds or Delta of the
Ganges. - E.]
Gonzalez having now a considerable revenue at his command, raised a
respectable military force of 1000 Portuguese, 2000 well armed natives,
and 200 horse, with above 80 sail of small vessels well provided with
cannon. He erected a custom-house, and encouraged the resort of
merchants to his dominions, and became so formidable that the
neighbouring princes courted his alliance. Insolent and ungrateful in
the progress of his power, he not only refused to give half the revenue
of the island to the king of Bacala according to agreement, but made war
upon his benefactor, from whom he conquered the islands of
_Xavaspur_[427] and _Patelabanga_, and other lands from other
neighbouring princes; so that he became suddenly possessed of vast
riches and great power, and acted as an independent sovereign, having
many brave men at his command. But such monsters are like comets that
threaten extensive ruin, yet last only for a short time, or like the
lightning, which no sooner expends its flash but it is gone for ever.
[Footnote 427: Shabapour is an island to the west of Sundeep, at the
principal mouth of the Barrampooter. - E.]
Soon after the elevation of Gonzalez to the sovereignty of Sundiva, a
civil war broke out between the king of Aracan and his brother Anaporam,
because the latter refused to resign a remarkable elephant, to which all
the other elephants of the country were said to allow a kind of
superiority. Being unsuccessful in the contest, Anaporam fled to
Gonzalez for assistance and protection, who demanded his sister as an
hostage. Gonzalez and Anaporam endeavoured, in conjunction, to fight the
king of Aracan, who had an army of 80,000 men, and 700 war elephants;
but being unsuccessful, were obliged to retreat to Sundiva, into which
Anaporam brought his wife and family, with all his treasure, and became
a subject of Gonzalez, who soon afterwards had the sister of Anaporam
baptized, and took her to wife. Anaporam soon died, not without
suspicion of poison; and Gonzalez immediately seized all his treasures
and effects, though he had left a wife and son. To stop the mouths of
the people on this violent and unjust procedure, he wished to have
married the widow of Anaporam to his brother Antonio Tibao, who was
admiral of his fleet, but she refused to become a Christian. Sebastian
continued the war against the king of Aracan with considerable success;
insomuch that on one occasion his brother Antonio, with only five sail,
defeated and captured 100 sail belonging to Aracan. At length the king
of Aracan concluded peace, and procured the restoration of his brother's
widow, whom he married to the rajah of Chittigong.
At this time, the Moguls undertook the conquest of the kingdom of
_Balua_[428], and as Gonzalez considered this conquest might prove
dangerous to his ill-got power, Balua being adjoining to his own
territories, he entered into a league with the king of Aracan for the
defence of that country. Accordingly, the king of Aracan took the field
with an immense army, having 80,000 of his own native subjects, mostly
armed with firelocks, 10,000 Peguers who fought with sword and bucklers,
and 700 elephants with castles carrying armed men. Besides these, he
sent 200 sail of vessels to sea, carrying 4000 men, ordering this fleet
to join that of Gonzalez, and to be under his command. According to the
treaty, Gonzalez, with the combined fleet, was to prevent the Moguls
from passing to the kingdom of Balua, till the king of Aracan could
march there with his army for its protection; besides which it was
agreed, when the Moguls were expelled from Balua, that half the kingdom
was to be given up to Gonzalez; who, on this occasion, gave as hostages,
for the safety of the Aracan fleet, and the faithful performance of his
part of the treaty, a nephew of his own, and the sons of some of the
Portuguese inhabitants of Sundiva.
[Footnote 428: There still is a town named _Bulloah_, to the east of the
Barrampooter and directly north of Sundeep, which may then have given
name to a province or small principality, of which Comillah is now the
chief town. - E.]
According to treaty, the king of Aracan entered the kingdom of Balua
with his army, and expelled the Moguls; but Gonzalez did not perform his
part of the agreement in preventing the Moguls from penetrating into
that kingdom, some alleging that he had been bribed by the Moguls to
allow them a free passage, while, according to others, he did so from
revenge against the king of Aracan, for the Portuguese who had been
slain by that king in _Bangael_ of _Dianga_[429]. However this may have
been, Gonzalez was guilty of a most execrable treachery, as, by leaving
open the mouth of the river _Dangatiar_, he left a free passage to the
Moguls. After this he went with his fleet into a creek of the island
_Desierta_[430], and assembling all the captains of the Aracan vessels on
board his ship, he murdered them all, seized all their vessels, and
killed or made slaves of all their men, after which he returned to
Sundiva. Soon afterwards the Moguls returned in great force to the
kingdom of Balua, where they reduced the king of Aracan to such straits
that he made his escape with great difficulty on an elephant, and came
almost alone to Chittigong. Immediately upon this discomfiture of the
Aracan army, which was utterly destroyed by the Moguls in Balua,
Gonzalez plundered and destroyed all the forts on the coast of Aracan,
which were then unprovided for defence, as depending on the peace and
alliance between their king and Gonzalez; he even went against the city
of Aracan, where he burnt many merchant vessels, and acquired great
plunder, and destroyed a vessel of great size, richly adorned, and
containing several splendid apartments like a palace, all covered with
gold and ivory, which the king kept as a pleasure-yacht for his own use.
Exasperated against Gonzalez for his treachery, the king ordered the
nephew of that lawless ruffian, who was in his power as a hostage, to be
be impaled. But Gonzalez, being a person utterly devoid of honour, cared
not at whose cost he advanced his own interests; yet the guilt of so
many villanies began to prey upon his conscience, and he became
apprehensive of some heavy punishment falling upon him, which he had
little means to avert, as all men considered him a traitor unworthy of
favour; those of Aracan, because he had betrayed them to the Moguls; and
the Moguls, because he had been false to those that trusted him. He
afterwards met his just reward under the government of Don Jerom de
[Footnote 429: Perhaps the island now called Balonga on the coast of
Aracan. - E.]
[Footnote 430: Probably a desert or uninhabited island among the
Sunderbunds, in the Delta of the Ganges. Indeed the whole geography of
this singular story is obscure, owing to the prodigious change in
dominion and names that have since taken place in this part of
India. - E.]
[Footnote 431: Owing to the want of interest in the transactions of
these times, as related in the Portuguese Asia, and the confused
arrangement of De Faria, we have in this place thrown together the
principal incidents in the extraordinary rise of these two successful
adventurers, Nicote and Gonzalez, leaving their fate to be mentioned in
the succeeding section. - E.]
The Hollanders, becoming powerful at the Molucca islands, and forming an
alliance with these islanders, who were weary of the avarice and tyranny
of the Portuguese, expelled them from Amboyna and established themselves
at Ternate, whence the Portuguese had been formerly expelled by the
natives. By the aid of the king of Ternate, the Hollanders likewise,
about 1604, got possession of the fort of Tidore, whence about 400
Portuguese were permitted to retire by sea to the Phillipine islands,
where they were hospitably received by Don Pedro de Cunna, who commanded
there for the Spaniards. In February 1605, Cunna sailed from the
Philippines with 1000 Spanish and 400 native troops, and recovered the
fort of Ternate, chiefly owing to the bravery of Joam Rodriguez Camelo,
who commanded a company of Portuguese in this expedition. De Cunna
thence proceeded for Tidore, which he likewise reduced, by which
conquest the Molucca islands became subject to Spain.
The viceroy, Don Alfonso de Castro, dying in 1607, was succeeded as
governor by Alexias de Menezes, archbishop of Goa, pursuant to a patent
of succession. Next year, 1608, Don Joam Pereyra Frojas, count de Feyra,
was sent out from Portugal as viceroy of India, but died on the voyage.
After administering the government for two years and a half, the
archbishop was succeeded as governor by Andrew Furtado de Mendoza in
1609, who was soon afterwards superseded in the same year by Ruy Lorenzo
de Tavora, who came out from Portugal as viceroy. At this time, Don
Jerome de Azevedo commanded in Ceylon, who, with an army of 700
Portuguese troops and 25,000 Cingalese took and burnt the city of Candy,
on which the sovereign of that central dominion made peace with the
Portuguese, consenting to the ministry of the Franciscans in his
dominions, and even placed two of his sons in their hands, to be
instructed in the Christian religion.
About this time, a large _English_ ship and a ketch had an engagement
with two Portuguese ships beyond the Cape of Good Hope, which escaped
after suffering a severe loss. These English ships went afterwards to
Surat, where they were found by Nunno de Cunna, who had four well-manned
galleons, but ill provided with gunners, who were ignorant and cowardly.
On descrying these large ships, though the English had reason to be
afraid of their number, they undervalued them as heavy sailors, and
immediately engaged and fought them till evening, killing 30 of the
Portuguese. The engagement recommenced at day-light next morning, and
two of the Portuguese galleons, endeavouring to run on board the large
English ship, got aground, on which the pink or ketch, belonging to the
enemy, kept firing its cannon upon one of the grounded galleons, till it
floated off with the evening tide. The other two galleons fought the
large English ship all day. On the third day, all the four galleons
being afloat, endeavoured to board the enemy, who relied on their cannon
and swiftness, and sailed away to Castelete, a bay of the pirates near
Diu. De Cunna followed them thither, and again fought them for two days,
in all which time the Portuguese ships could never board them by reason
of their unwieldy bulk. At length the English stood away, shewing black
colours in token that their captain was slain. In these long indecisive
actions, the English and Portuguese both lost a number of men. The
English made for Surat, followed still by De Cunna; on which they left
that port, and De Cunna returned to Goa.
_Continuation of the Portuguese Transactions, from 1512 to 1517._
Towards the close of 1511, orders came to India for Don Jerome de
Azevedo to succeed Tavora as viceroy. Azevedo had acquired a high
character by many years service, eighteen years of which he had spent in
Ceylon, where he had acquired great riches, and yet preserved a good
name. The report of his riches contributed, as much as the fame of his
valour, to his present promotion, as it was thought that he who had so
much already, would be less inclined to covetousness; though experience
shews, that those who have much still covet more. Azevedo had likewise
offered to serve the office of viceroy without the usual salary, but
afterwards accepted it. Among the first actions of his administration
was to send home Danish Beg, ambassador from Shah Abbas, king of Persia,
who had been in Spain at the court of King Philip. Shah Abbas treated,
at the same time, both with King Philip, and James king of England,
endeavouring to influence both to the furtherance of his own designs;
having taken the island of Bahrayn from the Portuguese, and was now
endeavouring to gain Ormuz. Along with this Persian ambassador, Antonio
de Guovea, titular bishop of _Sirene_, went for the purpose of
propagating Christianity in Persia; but, finding that the Persian
government was inimical to his mission, he went no farther than Ormuz.
Shah Abbas was so much displeased with his ambassador for not succeeding
in his negotiation for the surrender of Ormuz, that he caused him to be
beheaded; and was so much exasperated against the Christians, that he
forced many of his Armenian subjects to renounce the faith.
The fortune of Nicote in Pegu now declined as swiftly as it had risen.
In 1513, the king of _Ova_, being provoked at the violence which Nicote
had been guilty of against the king of Tangu, who was under his
protection, made a vow that he would revenge his injuries. Having
assembled an army of 120,000 men, and 400 vessels of considerable
strength, in which were above 6000 of those Moors so noted for valour,
called _Caperuzas_ from their wearing caps, he marched against Siriam,
where he burnt every thing beyond the walls of the fort. Nicote made a
brave resistance though taken unawares, as he had suffered most of his
men to go to India, and was very scarce of powder. In this distress, he
sent a soldier to purchase powder at Bengal, who ran away with the
money; and sent likewise to San Thoma for the same commodity, but was
refused any supply. For want of powder he was unable to fire his cannon
against the enemy, and was reduced to the expedient of pouring boiling
pitch and oil on their heads. At length, Nicote was taken and carried to
the king of Ova, who ordered him to be impaled on an eminence in view of
the fort, where he lived two days in torment. His wife, Donna Luisa de
Saldanna, was kept three days in the river to be purified, as the king
designed her for himself; but when brought before him, she upbraided him
for his cruelty, and he ordered _her leg to be bored_, and that she
should be sent to Ova along with the other slaves. A native named
_Banna_ who had betrayed Nicote, demanding his reward from the king of
Ova, was ordered to be torn in pieces, the king alleging, that he who
had been false to his benefactor would never be true to him. The son of
Nicote resided, at that time, in Martavan, having married the daughter
of the king of that place; but the king of Ova caused him to be put to
death, that no one of the race might remain alive. Thus ended Nicote,
who, from the lowest poverty, had raised himself to great power and
prodigious riches, being worth three millions[432]. The enemy allowed of
having lost 30,000 men in this siege. The viceroy on hearing of the
danger of Siriam, had dispatched Diego de Mendoza to its relief with
five galliots; but having put off his time by the way on other objects,
he was too late.
[Footnote 432: Probably ducats are here meant.]
In the year 1614, the viceroy resolved to go in person to the sea of
Guzerate to meet the _English_ and _Hollanders_, who were then strong
in these seas. He sent before him Emanuel de Azevedo with 22 sail, who
was joined at Surat by two other squadrons, after which he landed and
destroyed the lands of _Cifandam_ and _Diva_. The towns of _Baroach_ and
_Goga_ were plundered, with six large ships in the bay, as was likewise
the city of _Patane_. Having completed his preparations, the viceroy
sailed from Goa with seven galleons, one of which was so large that it
easily carried 230 men besides mariners, 30 of them being gentlemen.
Besides the galleons, there were two pinks, one galley, one caravel, and
five other vessels, on board of which were 1400 Portuguese soldiers,
with a great number of cannon, but the gunners were very unskilful. At
Surat the viceroy was joined by the squadron under Emanuel de Azevedo,
the chief design of this large armament being to destroy four English
vessels then in that port. The preparations for this purpose seemed
disproportionately large, yet the event proved the contrary. Being come
in sight of the English, the viceroy ordered the two pinks with the
caravel and other smaller vessels to close with one of the English
vessels which lay at some distance from the rest. Having all grappled
with the enemy and almost carried her by boarding, the other three ships
came up and drove them all off. The first of the three vessels which had
attacked the English ship took fire, and being attempted to be steered

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr photography database, allowing search by: tags(keywords); Flickr photography groups; Flickr users, their contacts, and favorites; free text; the Flickr Explore algorithm for interestingness. Flickr Hive Mind can also be an effective tool to identify photography with licenses that allow non-commercial (and sometimes) commercial use. Written by: Nathan Siemers. Inspired by (and thanks to) Flickr Leech. Dedicated to Anna and her Flickritis. If you find your login does not work, perhaps your browser has disabled the cookies that I use to track your session. Try telling your browser to accept them. Flickr Hive Mind stores no personal information nor photos, but some general time and IP address information ends up in my apache server logs. For additional details see the privacy policy. Any revenue generated through advertisement on this site is used only to cover the cost of keeping the site online, beyond that Fiveprime donates to charitable organizations (also, there are no ads on User pages).

Temple received the most points among City Six team in the USA Today-ESPN men's preseason college basketball poll that was released today.
Temple was 29th. Villanova was 34th and Drexel was 44th.
North Carolina received 30 or 31 first-place votes and is No. 1. Kentucky is No. 2 and received the other first-place vote.
Villanova was picked to finish eighth in the Big East in a presason poll by the conference's coaches. The poll results were released today at Big East media day in New York.
Villanova was 21-12 last season and do not have a senior on the team. Junior guard Maalik Wayns (Roman Catholic High) is the top returning scorer with a 13.8 average.
Connecticut and Syracuse were picked to finish first. UConn received seven first-place votes and Syracuse had five first-place votes. Coaches could not vote for their own team.
Drexel, which returns six of its top seven players, has been picked to win the Colonial Athletic Association in a vote of the league's coaches, media relations directors and media members.
The Dragons were followed in the voting by George Mason, VCU, Old Dominion and James Madison. Picked sixth was William & Mary, followed by Delaware, Hofstra, Northeastern, UNCW, Georgia State and Towson.
Drexel has four players who received postseason recognition a year ago. Senior forward Samme Givens, a second-team All-CAA pick, led the conference in rebounding and was the only player in the league to average a double-double (12.2 ppg/10.1 rpg). Junior guard Chris Fouch averaged a team-high 14.9 ppg off the bench and was named to the All-CAA third team. Forward Dartaye Ruffin (8.4 ppg/7.4 rpg) and point guard Frantz Massenat (5.5 ppg) were selected to the CAA All-Rookie squad. Also back in the starting lineup are junior guard Derrick Thomas (6.9 ppg) and junior forward Daryl McCoy (5.4 ppg/7.8 rpg).
Temple was picked to finish second behind Xavier in the Atlantic 10 preseason basketball poll, released today at the league's media day in Brooklyn. The voting was done by a panel of head coaches and media members.
Xavier garnered 304 total points and 18 first-place votes to place first. Temple, which has won three of the last four Atlantic 10 tournaments, had four first-place votes and a total of 287 points.
The Owls finished at 14-2 last year in the A-10 and 26-8 overall.
La Salle just got its first commitment for the Class of 2012. Jermaine Davis is listed at 6-9, 260 pounds. He is from Garfield Heights (Ohio) High, the same school that produced Carl "Tay'' Jones, a junior at Saint Joseph's and the leading scorer in the Big 5 last season.
Davis was mostly being recruiting by Mid-American Conference and Horizon League schools, but chose to come east to play for John Giannini at 20th and Olney. Garfield Heights had one of the best teams in Ohio last year. The star guard on that team, Trey Lewis, is now a freshman at Penn State so the school's players keep leaking over the border.
-- Dick Jerardi
Temple basketball coach Fran Dunphy had sported his trademark mustache for 40 years, going back to his days in the Army. But today at the Liacouras Center he shaved it off, in front of an amused crowd and a row of cameras capturing the moment, for the best of reasons.
A couple of years ago he made a promise. Now it was time to keep his word, because this summer former Owls standout Dionte Christmas took an online elective class that gave him the final three credits necessary to earn his degree in African-American Studies.
A few years ago, Temple basketball coach Fran Dunphy made a promise to Dionte Christmas. Now, he's going to keep his word.
Since his former standout player has earned his degree, Dunph is going to shave his trademark mustache, the one he's been sporting for 40 years. The honors will take place late Thursday morning on campus, with Christmas by his side for the historic moment.
No word yet on whether - as was the case when New York Jets' quarterback Joe Namath got rid of his Fu Manchu mustache some four decades ago - it's going to be made into a commercial.

"Travelocity hopes the campaign, featuring a stolen gnome that travels the world, will help it hold onto its No. 2 spot behind Expedia as No. 3 Orbitz breathes down its neck."
Between the top three travel sites there is nothing that differentiates them really, they offer the same features, functionality, same tabbed navigation for essentially the same products.
You would imagine for a fraction of the 80 million dollars they are spending on this ad campaign, they could create some differentiated functionality.
Or even redesign their logo that currently looks like a graph, I don't know what that has to do with travel.

Sound waves used to increase disk drive capacity
Ultrasound technique could also be used on solid-state storage
Computerworld - Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) said today that they have found a way to use high-frequency sound waves to improve magnetic data storage techniques.
The breakthrough could allow greater amounts of data to be stored on both hard disk drives and NAND flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs).
"We're near the peak of what we can do with the technology we now use for magnetic storage," said Pallavi Dhagat, an associate professor in the OSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. "There's always a need for approaches that could store even more information in a smaller space, cost less and use less power."
The technology is called acoustic-assisted magnetic recording, according to the electrical engineers who discovered it. They presented their results at the 12th Joint MMM/Intermag Conference in Chicago this week. The researchers have filed a U.S. patent application as well.
When magnetic recording materials are temporarily heated, even for an instant, they can become momentarily less stiff and more data can be stored at a particular spot, according to the researchers.
But, the technique has proven difficult to effectively increase capacity because the heating tends to spread beyond where it is wanted and the technology involves complex integration of optics, electronics and magnetics, the researchers said.
With acoustic-assisted magnetic recording, ultrasound is directed at a highly specific location on the platter while data is being stored, creating elasticity that allows "a tiny portion of the material to bend or stretch."
After the ultrasound is turned off, the material immediately returns to its original shape, but the data stored during the process remains in a dense form.
The researchers did not say by how much the density data storage could be increased through the ultrasound technique.
While as yet untested, the researches said ultrasound should also have the same effect on solid-state memory used to make SSDs.
"This technology should allow us to marry the benefits of solid state electronics with magnetic recording, and create non-volatile memory systems that store more data in less space, using less power," said Albrecht Jander, also an associate professor of electrical engineering and collaborator on the research.
This approach might work with materials already being used in magnetic recordings, or variations of them, the researchers said. Researchers will continue to explore performance, materials and cost issues.

Brilliant service
Delivered in time
Good packaging
Good prices
love the egg whites, good products
wish they did more offers like my protein
Good quality products at excellent prices together with speedy delivery, what more do you want?
decent cost, surprising freebies, and punctual customer service
Bulkpowders provide excellent products at great value for money.
There are always lots of offers available and they are a great source of information
They always deliver on time and i have never had any issues, they are very reliable.
Used many different companies and products over the last twenty years and have used Bulkpowder now for a few years and all there products are best value and content. Wouldnt go any where else unless things changed of course as always monitoring best products and prices but for now it BB for me.
I am new to protein and decided to try two flavours - vanilla and chocolate - both delicious - makes them go down easy!
Extra little perk was getting to try a couple of other sample size products - I tried strawberry and mint chocolate. Mint chocolate I would definitely recommend!
Thank you BulkPowders.co.uk I will be a returning customer.
Quickly dispatch and delivery.
Correct sort and amount of products.
Great quality In the products I have tasted so far.
Been ordering from Bulk Powders for a year now, never had any problems with there next day delivery service (automatically presumed they meant next working day) and both my recent deliveries have been well packaged and protected inside the box.
They underwent re-branding a while ago which in my opinion has given them a more professional look and have just brought out a pro series which I have purchased, there range of items is fabulous. Currently use there whey protein, t-boosters, thermogenics, daa powder and there new informed mass, have tried there pre workouts, instanised bcaa's and protein bars and have not managed to fault one product yet!
The offering of referral points and reward points is also attractive for anyone who has friends in to fitness.
BP help ease the worry of buying such powders/products online through having a good quality UK based website and products with a very fast service. Thanks.
There are some products worth buying, some others need improvement.
Packaging is problematic specially dealing with moisture (example cherry tart). Taste is also not consistent for same products (example: intra workout apple raspberry)
Shipment should be free for European countries above certain amounts, as other companies do. Also prices are not always the 'best', you can even find famous brands cheaper on some products in other internet sites. (example: instant BCAAs)
The website was easy to use and compare to competitors. The product price-beat competitors. The service on the phone was polite (much better than MyProtein). however the product got delivered without my consent and caused me some distress. I have been using the product for 2 weeks but have not seen much difference. The product mixes well using a coil shaker. The product arrives in a massive 5kg bag which is not ideal (5 small tubs would work better) and did not contain a scoop.
My order arrived as expected, without complications. Products are high quality and affordable.
The product was nice but maybe I'm not getting the most of it because it doesn't comes with a 'how to use' instruction. S
No branding no hype...just what you need to get result with clean and frequent diet.
Easy enough website to navigate around....and decent enough prices....although paid for next ay delivery deliver didn't receive good until 4 days after ordering...with no explanation from company....until I contacted them.
Everything good, great site.
Products are just great and fast delivery, can't complain about anything.
I have used this site around 4 times before and never had a problem with anything. This time arou d however I ordered on thursday evening so I didnt expect the parcel to come until friday as I missed the thursday shipment. However the so called guarenteed next day delivery didnt turn up until monday
Shame really as the products and service have been top notch until then.
I used this site as this was cheaper than anywhere else i had seen, the delivery is next day and aswell as this the prodcuts are value for money.
Referall points and bulk points when ordering is great and good for often use to get discounts on stuff and free things.
Often free codes and vouchers for free items, Great site Customer services are friendly and very helpful, where else offers 2.5kg for £30 and T-shirt to train in for £2.99 magical stuff
99% of BulkPowders products are brilliant, however the service could be improved.
For instance, twice I have paid for next day delivery and both times not received my order the following day....and funnily enough, twice I have inputted a code for a free sample and both times not received so something needs to be improved. But apart from that, a good company to use.
Bulkpowders were great to deal with as usual, but the company they have associated themselves with to deliver they fantastic products are absolutely terrible. Had so much problems with them now twice. Pity such a good company like BP use such a poor carrier.
Brilliant ordering system and delivery was great - an hour time slot was confirmed and spot on. The delivery vehicle could be tracked online so I could see how far away he was and it was constantly updated. The protein is great - easy to mix and tastes good. You need a measuring cup of your own as the packaging is very simple, but solid value. Will use again.
I have tried several samples so farand have many more to try before making my final choice for which Whey protein to go for. Will also be trying the peanut butter
Perfect in every way! Definitely ordering more supplements from Bulkpowders!
With my most recent order, I selected next day delivery because I really needed it today, but it didn't arrive. It wasn't a problem with the courier either; I checked the BP website and they said it still hadn't dispatched more than 24 hours later even though it's supposed to be guaranteed same day dispatch. So be warned; you may have to wait longer for your order than you've been told. That said, the products are generally good value for money. I just wish they would expand their range a bit. Some nitrite-free beef jerky would definitely make me a customer for life :)
I like BulkPowders, because pretty fast and very dependable.
Thank you guys :))
great service, very pleased with products, would wholly recommend to anyone looking for quality supplements at a very reasonable price
I have been buying from bulkorders for the past 6 years and there products are about the best i have used, service is second to none. I will continue to use bulk orders in the future and look forward to trying there new products. top productsand service.
I have used a number of prodcust including whey protein 90 and casin as well as citrulline malate, aakg and bcaa's. All these producats were of high standards and aided my lifestyle greatfully. Thank you BulkPowders
Good service, good products, the only thing I was not expecting is the lack of the scoops but maybe I didn't read carefuly..

The members of our troop committee have VERY mixed feelings about the concept of the "Friends of Scouting" program for fundraising. I would like to get input from the "All Great and Powerful" list.
We all agree that the cause is "probably" worthwhile. Most of us feel that we keep getting "nickel and dimed" to death, however. One suggestion we had was to do away with the program and just raise the annual "dues" a small portion ($10-15).
How do you feel about this program? Is it worthwhile? What could make it better? Do you support "Friends of Scouting" willingly?
Please send me your input, information, etc. either on the list or direct e-mail. I will compile the responses and post a general concensus in a week or two.

Nursing mothers now have a place to donate excess breast milk in Albuquerque for needy babies.
Dar a Luz Birth & Health Center has opened a milk depot, the first and only one in New Mexico, where women can drop off their milk once they've passed a screening process.
The milk is sent in dry ice to Mothers' Milk Bank in Denver where it is stored, pasteurized, processed and dispensed.

Ginny McElyea has been at it for 25 years, and at age 90 she's not about to stop volunteering her time at Lovelace Women's Hospital.
"I love to be active and it gives me a good feeling. I started [volunteering] after I retired because I wanted to do something," McElyea said.
McElyea was one of 67 volunteers honored Friday by Lovelace Health System with a luncheon at Sandia Resort and Casino.
Whether you go as a patient, or just to visit one, hospitals can be one of the last places anyone wants to find themselves. But if you end up there you're likely to encounter a volunteer. Lovelace Health System honored those Friday who just want to lend a hand.
90-year-old Ginny McElyea was singled out for all her years of service. Every Thursday for more than two decades she has been a volunteer, and says she has no plans of quitting anytime soon.
"As long as I'm able and as long as I can get to the hospital I'll be there. I love it. And it keeps me busy.
State Police officers Robert Carrejo, left, and Sean Healy demonstrate how to use automated external defibrillators during a news conference at the Heart Hospital of New Mexico on Tuesday. A $15,000 donation from the Heart Hospital of New Mexico Foundation and Lovelace Medical Center will help State Police purchase defibrillators.

New Mexico State Police Chief Robert Shilling and members of the New Mexico State Police held a press conference on April 9 at Heart Hospital of New Mexico to thank Lovelace Medical Center and the Heart Hospital of New Mexico Foundation for donating $15,000 to purchase batteries and pads for 50 automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Through this donation the state police matched these funds and were able to redeploy 100 AEDs in police vehicles throughout New Mexico. KOB-TV, KOAT-TV, KASA and KLUZ covered the event.
Lovelace Medical Center's Cancer Care program is the first in the country to have a new technology added to its TomoHD linear accelerator that further minimizes radiation doses to healthy tissue.
The technology called Dynamic Jaws is the most advanced technology on the market today to spare healthy tissue for patients undergoing radiation treatment. The patient will experience fewer side effects and decreased treatment times.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—A donation from the Heart Hospital of New Mexico Foundation and Lovelace Medical Center will help state police purchase defibrillators.
The $15,000 donation was announced Friday. Police will be presented with a check from the two organizations during a ceremony in Albuquerque on Tuesday.
About the size of a laptop, the devices deliver an electrical current through the chest to the heart to correct a critically irregular heartbeat.

Caddis Skater, Just ignore most of these guys, go have fun and enjoy the day whether you catch anything or not. Good Luck
I absolutely agree. Sadly, we will always have frequent posters here who seem to scan every new thread and look for opportunities to criticize and talk down to their peers. It was actually a lot worse a few years ago.
Yep that is all they do is scan to criticize...........Right.... I am more than willing to tell you exactly how I have caught steelhead on the Methow. I am willing to share tips on weather, clarity et cetera. Good holes no problem to share. I am more than willing to share almost all the information I know. In fact I would share that I caught fish and where and how in a PM. Just not in a thread titled "Methow Steelhead" where anybody can read it. Even non forum members whose fishing morals could be ANYTHING. Posting reports that litteraly the whole world can see is just CRAZY and anyone asking for that kind of info and expecting it is just plain nieve IMO. The Methow didn't open last year....remember that....we are talking about a sensative area here. However, there are steelhead in the Methow right now PERIOD and it is open. If you go fishing there you probably won't catch one. That is called "steelheading". Last year I saw over 50 boats float by me in one morning on the Skagit during steelhead season. I will never forget that day. It blew my mind. That kind of traffic is caused by these internet forums. Anyone who thinks otherwise, again, is NIEVE.
I'm glad that you are willing to share info. How are people supposed to know who to IM without asking publicly? Steelhead traffic on the Skagit, or Methow, or Grand Ronde, or _____ <--insert river is not caused by posts on an internet forum. If you really think it is then you are the one who is naive. There have been articles on all these rivers in major nationwide magazines - not just fly fishing magazines. The rivers are not a secret, nor is any information about the rivers a secret. I'm getting pretty sick of the majority of regular posters ribbing a guy for innocent questions. If you don't want to give info JUST SHUT UP AND DON'T GIVE THE INFO!
I am just trying to explain and defend those posters that are getting labeled as asses. To make the point that they aren't just being "mean" or "rude" for no reason. I find it hard to believe that anyone who fly fishes is rotten to the core and just inherantly rude. Oh and I know all those rivers have been written up repeatedly, I read every fly fishing mag. like most of us. I know they aren't secrets, I have all the classic books like most of us. I still am telling you all that there is a HELL of a lot of correlation to these good fishing reports online mentioning specific rivers and the hordes. A report on this site will bring more people to the said river the next weekend than any magazine would. Try it for yourself sometime.
Personally, I think this post was started by someone who runs some kind of business in the methow valley. Knowing it would cause so much drama on this board, and subsiquently pique the interest of all those online lurkers who really don't know much about the Methow. Now all those guys are wondering what all the hub-bub is about, pullin out their maps, and making plans to check it out this weekend. So whatever you all do, keep this post alive by bickering back and forth about 'secret spots'. The longer it lives, the more this business man will prosper....
The reports you see here are also given freely to anyone who walks into any fly shop in Washington. When the fishing gets good the shops tell people to go. I have mentioned Grimes lake here (when the season was open) and still only saw the other two guys who fish it regularly. In that report I mentioned trout well over 20" biggest there was 26" this year. You would expect that to get people moving. I went to crab creek right after a heavily visited post and didn't see anyone the entire weekend day that I was there. The fact is that anyone can read current reports on the internet, but most don't have the time or energy to go. With more cooperation between fellow fly fishers we could really make every trip an enjoyable experience. Let's not get down on people unless it's really necessary.
I am not a fly shop owner. Those lake rainbows aren't steelhead. I know many places for a crack at a 20" plus lake fish. Steelhead are different, almost mystical to most people including me. Sorry to keep this going. I am going to stop now. TO ALL THEIR OWN MY FRIENDS AND MAY THE STEELHEAD RISE TO MEET YOUR FACE WITH ITS TAIL! :beer2:
I've been fishing the green at flaming geyser for the past week and catch about 15 fish an hour, the biggest being 42"... the best time to go is tomorrow afternoon.... I think nobody should fish the north end because the fish have all died up there... go to the South... Cause we all know the south is where it's at....
It would be an interesting experiment, when this thread has long died, to post up a phony report about a stream that has never seen alot of action in the past and see what kind of turn out it gets the next weekend.
I fished the Methow two weeks ago and it was crowded but productive. I releaed two steelies, and a handfull of nice bows. Where are you looking at fishing, what is your approach...boat..or just wading or both? PM me and I will give you some areas to check that you can drive to. I also have a family member with some land there you can access privately that has some very productive spots.....you can get some water to yourself. He also has some ATV's we loan out to folks to cover more area, and we use them for deer and bird hunting as well. I would note that some fly folks I have met are born and raised asshole to the bone. I had a guy on the skagit recently crowd me from up stream over the space of about an hour. He was about three hundred yards up from me and slowly worked down in to me. I was there before him, invited him to take my spot because I had just hit a dolly and a truck load of pinks while looking for that dolly. He said no thanks and went up higher....as I released fish he worked into my water and never caught a thing....then finally yelled at me....."why do you have to crowd my drift"....and I was inthe same spot I started in hours before. He came down and got in my face and tried to hit me and I put him on his ass in the current and waved as he thrashed his way down to the next hole. It's the law of averages....people are born every second.....some just suck. Though he had balls....he was like 5'8'' and I am 6'5'' 320lbs.......I wouldn't have had the brass ones to pull that. ~Brian
Brian, You bring up one of the main differences between those who are primarily trout fishermen or those who have fished with casting or spinning gear for years before taking up fly fishing. When fishing for steelhead or salmon, fly fishermen start upstream at the top of a run and fish down through the run taking a step every cast or two until the whole run has been covered, which is very different than how most folks fish for trout or most folks fishing with casting or spinning gear fish for steelhead or salmon. This has been the accepted stream etiquette for fly fishers of steelhead and salmon for over a century. Unforotunately, this means that when someone who has not been fly fishing for steelhead or salmon very long and who doesn't know this is the long accepted way to fish a run comes upon someone who has, it seems like the fellow fishing the long accepted way of moving through a run is being an arse, when he is simply following long-established steelhead/salmon fly fishing protocol.
Mmmmmmmm. I was a gill netter before taking up fly fishing. Hell, I should just take the whole damn run from bank to bank, top to bottom.:thumb:
I pretty much fish every area from top to bottom a step at a time, and most always move on as someone works the area above me, particularly if I have been there a while. But this kid waded out in shorts and basketball shoes after tossing a Budlight can on the bank...and worked a hole way above me and produced nothing...and then quickly tried to bully me out....it was just too quick for me to respond. I stayed in the area because it kept producing fish every other cast with no travel on my part...but from the time he showed up, he was welcome to the hole and I offered it immediatly...he just got pissed that I was catching fish and he wasn't and then got violent....I just don't have time in this lifetime for that kind of crap.
I still haven't figured out why people are willing to drive so far to catch a tired fish. Methow fish really don't fight like a fish closer to the ocean. For us that live close it is just a place to finally fish for the "mythical" fish. I personally don't post any fishing reports on this board anymore. You get flamed for posting anything positive or negative. I will gladly answer with PM's to questions at times though.
I will drive all day long and camp just to stand in some unfamiliar water and breathe some different air.
and that statement right there is why fly fisherman get such a bad rep. ive witnessed this very thing so many different times. i have gotten into 3 fights with guys over this very thing (never happened to me, i just said something to the guy who did it to a gear guy) its very rude to fish like that when others are fishing a run before you. weather they are tossing bait or swinging flys. if there is someone fishing a run you want, wait your turn. its that simple. i have and always will jump someones arse if i witness that take place. it it means getting my arse kicked then oh well. if its that big a deal that you must fish down on top of someone like that, then at least do the decent thing and ask if you fish through the drift. most people will say yes. unless they them selves are arseholes. NOW then if the guy ahead of you is moving down the drift just like you then there is no problem. :beer2: and i like those kind of guys. i dont mind sharing a hole to anyone not matter how they are fishing, as long as they show respect to the or the people who are fishing the hole ahead of them.
