Highly unusual archaeological monument is La Hougue Bie - enormous, artificial earth mound. It hides 18.6 m long passage lined with enormous stones. This mound and passage in it were made some 6000 years ago - in Neolithic period, around 4000 - 3500 BC. But on the top of this mount are two Medieval chapels.
Such an unusual mix of cultural monuments is unique.
Legend about the dragon
There is a legend about the origin of this enormous mound:
Once upon a time the island of Jersey was terrorised by a dragon. Seigneur de Hambye heard about this calamity and came from Normandy to fight with this dragon. He found the beast and defeated it in a long and strenuous fight. After the desperate fight Seigneur fell on the ground exhausted and wounded.
His squire murdered the heroe. When the traitor returned home, he told that dragon killed Seigneur and squire then killed the dragon. Squire told also the the final wish of Seigneur was that the squire should marry his widow. Thus the squire took over the possessions of his master.
One night though he told the truth to his new wife. Wife immediately ordered to arrest him and squire was executed.
According to this legend La Hougue Bie is a monument to Seigneur de Hambye built by his wife.
In Jèrriais language the word "hougue" means - mound but "bie" - homestead. Thus the name means: "homestead near the mound". Another explanation though is linked to the legend - this mound was named La Hougue Hambye. Later it was shortened to La Hougue Bie.
Hill with medieval chapels
In medieval times this steep, grass covered mound was used to build a chapel on the top of it. First chapel was built around the 12th century. Judging from its location (walls of chapel are above the walls of passage grave under it), the builders knew about the passage below the church.
Currently on the top of this mound is located one elongated building. This structure is built in the 16th century or later.
In 1792 on the top of chapel was built large tower in Neo-Gothic style - so called Prince's Tower. The medieval chapel was split into two parts: the western end (the Notre Dame Chapel) was kept as a private chapel but in the eastern end (Jerusalem Chapel) was arranged a library.
Prince's Tower was demolished in 1924 in order to provide safety for the exploration of the Neolithic passage grave.
Discovery of Neolithic passage grave
People had anticipation that this weird, steep mound may hide ancient passages.
In 1924 - 1925 the Société Jersiaise organized first archaeological excavations of this mound. The entrance in the passage was luckily found already at the first attempt. Before the full exploration there was needed a repair of the collapsed passage.
Excited explorers entered the ancient passage, lined by giant stone slabs. It is possible that they were the first people to enter this monument in last 5000 years - although it is possible that some plundering took place in between.
Archaeologists found fragments of 20 vase supports together with scattered remnants of at least eight people - man and women buried here. Some gravegoods (mostly pottery) were present - what hints at belief into afterlife.
More archaeological excavations took place in 1991 - 1996. Then was restored the original, impressive entrance in the passage.
Nowadays the passage grave is available to the public, both chapels above are available too.
Most impressive of Armorican Passage Graves
Megalithic passage graves are grouped by their structure. La Hougue Bie belongs to a group of Armorican Passage Graves, found in Channel islands and Brittany. It is not just a member of this group - it is by far the largest and best preserved of these passage graves.
Diameter of La Hougue Bie is 58 m and it covers almost 2 400 m2. The height of the mound is 12.2 m.
The entrance in the mound is directed to the east. Total length of the passage is 18.6 m. It starts with some 9 m long, narrow passage, where one should crawl through until reaching a larger chamber. This larger chamber has cruciform shape in the plan.
Passage is covered with enormous roofing slabs. The largest (stone No 69) weighs approximately 20 tons.
Ancient shrine
The earliest history of this exceptional monument most likely is obscured by the later construction works. The oldest datable works took place around 4000 - 3500 BC. Then here was built the inner part of the current passage grave and it was covered with a pile of stones... lots of stones. Total volume of the cairn was approximately 6 300 m3.
Later the passage grave was extended and the cairn increased to 9 000 m3.
Sometimes around 3000 BC the entrance in the passage was sealed and roughly at 2900 - 2500 BC the pile of stones was covered with a thick layer of soil, turning the ancient (ancient already then - 4500 years ago!) shrine into a green hill.
Astronomical orientation
This amazing structure has a specific position: in spring and autumn equinox the Sun shines through the passage at the sunrise. Whole 18.6 m long, narrow passage is lighted up with an eerie, red light.
Such amazing peculiarity shows that La Hougue Bie is not just a graveyard - it is rather a shrine.
This astronomical orientation of megalithic structure seems to be linked to the fact that in Neolithic Age first farmers lived here. Subsistence on farming was risky in these times: every mistake and failure of early farmers led to inevitable hunger. Due to this the observations of seasons and natural cycles was of utmost, truly religious importance.
Stone with cupmarks
4000 BC is very very long ago. But it is possible that La Hougue Bie contains evidence of older shrines.
One of the upright stones forming the walls of northern chamber contains at least 24 deep cupmarks. The stone is located in such a way that some cupmarks are hidden - these cupmarks were of no special importance to the builders of the passage.
Thus it is possible that current La Hougue Bie passage grave is built in the site of an even older shrine. The stone with cupmarks from this eventual older shrine was taken and used as a building material.

Canaries and Morroco - for much needed winter sunshine :): Norwegian Jade Cruise Review by J.E.C
Overall Member Rating
Canaries and Morroco - for much needed winter sunshine :)
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
I have just come back from a wonderful holiday on the Jade.
Made all the better by a great itinnery - Canaries and Morocco, good company and sunshine (all us Brits are suffering from a Vitamin D deficiency at the moment!)
So here goes
Flight out BA Heathrow to Barcelona ok, transfer to the port fine, check in was busy, but being Lattitudes we breezed through.
We were given the letter to read about Norovirus, but I was already aware of it have kept up to date on the web sites, we then has to wait for boarding - which was some time after two pm and there wasn't much room to wait, there were a few shops to wander around (and you have done all the security screening you are going to do).
I missed my glass of Fizz as I walked on board, but never mind. Headed straight up to the buffet as we were hungry More and had been travelling all day, but that was mistake as it was heaving. Really we should have wondered around and got ourselves re-aquainted with the ship as an hour or so later it was much better. Of course it was worse as this was the first most people had seen of the serving policy, which we perfectly understood.
We got our cabins at about 4 pm and it was great (a mini suite - complete with a bottle of fizz and chocolate dipped strawberries as we had booked the anniversary package). These are great cabins, with lots of space and storage.
Food wise
Great choice, yes it's a bit a annoying having to wait to be served in the buffet, but perfectly understandable and to be honest on our previous cruises I had been quite disgusted with some folks behaviour with touching food and putting it back (fruit and bread in particular) that it was good to see, you quickly learnt the ropes and identified the quicker drinks stations etc.
We ate a couple of nights in the buffet, once in the Bistro, once in the Tex Mex, once in Cagney's and once in the Tappenyaki all were very good. Bistro came as part of the anniversary package but would be well worth the $20 cover charge, Tex Mex ok but to be honest wouldn't bother again, Cagney's and Teppenyaki both superb.
Also ate in the Grand Pacific a couple of occasions - never had to wait longer than 20 minutes (with the pager being given to us) and always had great meals.
Make sure you go to the chocolate buffet, not to eat but to take the photo's
Saw Smokey Joes Cafe - great music and singers, all Leiber and Stoller songs, but no story line. Shout was a great show and I would highly recommend. The other acts we saw were Gary Lavini, a violinist, this was an amazing show, Forever, an El Divo style male vocalist group who again were great and finally Gina Pontini, I missed her evening show but saw her lunch time Jazz session in the Atrium which was good.
We went to the white Hot Party and felt that was very cheesy and borderline sleazy
They are working extremely hard, especially with the buffet service, and it was rare we saw a glum face, and some folk were just so rude to them, some of theri jobs are such plain boring so chat to them. The two that looked after our cabin were great, always smiling and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us.
The ships management team were very visible, more so than I have seen on any other ship (this was our 5th cruise), very approachable and wanting to help and were very open at the M&G.
The niggles, not many but here goes; -
Reception staff, they just didn't seem to want to help, silly little things like you had to go their for shuttle bus tickets, but only one person selling them and you had to wait for her! My sister had a problem with her OBC and it took a lot of persistence to get it sorted and then no apology. However, when she raised this with Armando the Hotel Manager he put that right. Generally the attitutude of the reception staff needs to buck up as this is the area you go to if you have a query or a complaint and they were not welcoming.
Shuttle buses, when you need to use one to get out of the port area like in Agadir I think they should be free, we paid $8 each in Agadir (the taxi alternatively looked awful) and the quality of the coach was appalling - badly cracked windscreen and filthy on the way out and the one on the way back the suspension felt as though it was on its last legs.
Also in the Bistro when we booked it, a couple of days in advance we asked if we could reserve a particular table and that was not possible. But as it happened we got the table we wanted on the night anyway, but really this should be possible.
But overall a great cruise, with the staff working very very had to keep sanitizing us and keeping everything clean.
Would I cruise with NCL again - definitely, in fact I still have 1 cruise reward to use in the future, but I think it is a real shame that there are no 2 or 3 night cruises out of the UK as I would be n the front of the queue for these. i Less

Mike Tomlin laid out the stakes for the game at Carolina earlier this week when he talked about linebacker Stevenson Sylvester making the team last season and kick returner Stefan Logan the year before that based on their play in the final preseason contest.
With the stage set for someone to play his way onto the Steelers in an otherwise more meaningless than usual preseason game, here are five players to watch.
— Cortez Allen: Someone is going to be the odd man out at cornerback, and it could well be the rookie fourth-round pick.
Allen has been hampered by a hamstring injury for a good part of the preseason though he played last Saturday against the Falcons.
He may need to show the coaches something Thursday night, as I have the final cornerback spot going to Allen or second-year man Crezdon Butler unless the Steelers keep seven corners.
— Tyler Grisham: The third-year man needs a big game in Carolina if he is to grab the last available spot at wide receiver. And that is if the Steelers keep six wideouts, which is hardly a sure thing.
Grisham has caught just two passes for 15 yards in three preseason games, and consistently separating from defensive backs may be what keeps him from getting over the hump at this level.
I have Grisham trailing Arnaz Battle for that No. 6 spot at wide receiver. And that is if a special-team standout doesn't emerge at another position, prompting the Steelers to keep five wideouts.
— Corbin Bryant: The undrafted free agent out of Northwestern has been impressive at defensive end. But is there room for Bryant with veterans Brett Keisel and Aaron Smith and recent first-round picks Ziggy Hood and Cameron Heyward?
I have tackle Steve McLendon with the edge over Bryant for the final roster spot for a defensive lineman, assuming the Steelers keep seven of them, making this game critical for the latter.
— Trai Essex, C: With the Trib's Mark Kaboly reporting Tuesday that Doug Legursky will open the season as the starter at right guard, the Steelers need to identify someone that can play center in the event of a game day injury Maurkice Pouncey.
Essex has played both guard and tackle during his six-year Steelers career. If he is capable of playing center in a pinch that would allow Legursky to stay at guard if Pouncey is knocked out of a game.
— Weslye Saunders, TE: It's hard to imagine the Steelers keeping four tight ends. It's also hard to imagine Saunders being one of the first three considering how raw the undrafted rookie out of South Carolina is and how much offensive coordinator Bruce Arians utilizes all of his tight ends.
Saunders, however, may have been a high-round draft pick in April had he played his senior season. If he plays well against the Panthers that might make the Steelers think twice about trying to sneak him onto the practice squad.
— Scott Brown

Brentwood EMS celebrates 35 years of serving neighbors
The vision of seven Brentwood volunteer firefighters creating a sustainable emergency medical services department for borough residents is an enduring one.
Brentwood Emergency Medical Services celebrates its 35th anniversary this fall. The festivities kicked off at an open house yesterday, Wednesday, and will continue with a recognition banquet Dec. 8. The founding organization started with a cubicle in the police department and a converted van for emergency calls and has since grown into a fleet of volunteers and full- and part-time staffers and three ambulances.
"It's hard to believe it's been 35 years," said Joanne Cook, Brentwood EMS director. "We've been here 35 years and we plan on being here for another 35."
Brentwood EMS was founded in 1977 by seven volunteer firefighters — Kenneth Lockhart, Rick Morrell, Mike Pace, Jake Kurtz, Bob Williams, Greg Winterhalter and Ken Peduzzi — who started the organization to provide better and more personalized care to residents, Joanne Cook said. The volunteers would ride along in the back of a police van, which only opened from the outside and had a divider from the driver, to assist in emergencies.
In a community such as Brentwood, which is one and a half square miles and has 30 miles of roads, a quick response time from a familiar face is the standard.
"Your response times are going to be better (and faster)," said Diane Cook, Joanne's sister and Brentwood EMS assistant director.
The organization sent its first members to paramedic school in 1982, held its first subscription drive in 1984, purchased its first ambulance in 1986, and moved to the current location in the municipal building after the public library moved to an adjacent location across Brownsville Road in 1992.
Plans to construct a new municipal building to give more space to the borough administration, police, code enforcement, public works and EMS is ongoing.
Brentwood Borough allocated about $52,000 to the EMS this year to operate the organization, Joanne Cook said. Annual subscription drives bring in a small amount, about 23 percent, from residents. Brentwood EMS paid for every facility upgrade from the first cubical to the current location in the municipal building.
Brentwood EMS holds several fundraisers throughout the year, including craft shows, a golf outing and raffles based on the Pennsylvania Lottery, Diane Cook said.
In addition to responding to emergencies, the organization hosts educational classes for residents and community and school district groups, and also assists in events such as church carnivals, holiday celebrations and athletic contests.
"It's nice to be involved in the community," Joanne Cook said. "It's like a second family."
Many of the volunteers and staffers at Brentwood EMS are people who bring in sisters, brothers, cousins and eventually the entire family.
Joanne Cook, a former nurse, joined the organization in 1979 at the suggestion of her brother. A year later, Diane Cook joined the organization, they said.
Still, the focus is on giving back to the community in which so many of the members live, said Frank Mihalovich, president of the Brentwood EMS board of directors.
"It's a good feeling from inside," Mihalovich said. "I really enjoy helping out."

New Haven, CT
Tract A at Science Park is part of the former Winchester Arms facility in New Haven, Connecticut. This adaptive re-use development is focused on two of the buildings within this site - Buildings 29 and 30 - which were built in 1915. The four- and six-story historic buildings were transformed into a modernized facility for the corporate headquarters of a fast-growing Connecticut financial services company, while maintaining their historic character. An addition of a four-story glass atrium building connects the two existing structures to form an exciting new entry and circulation core.
The atrium's contemporary design clearly distinguishes it from the historic industrial structures, yet uses similar materials throughout the complex, such as concrete, steel and glass. The atrium glass adds a high level of transparency so the elevations of the historic buildings are clearly viewed. The extensive use of glass also minimizes the overall massing of the new structure, allowing it to balance sympathetically between the concrete structures. These design directions are in keeping with the National Park Service's guidelines for additions to historic structures.
Due to the historic nature of the buildings and the involvement of the US Department of the Interior/National Park Service, the exteriors were restored to match the original buildings.
All of the existing windows have been replaced and replicated in order to meet current energy codes and thermal comfort for the tenants. In addition to the exterior restoration, the design also maintains some of the iconic historical interior components as part of the renovation.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY - The control tower at the Punta Gorda Airport may not be closing after all. A bill passed by Congress last week has the local airport holding out hope.
Some passengers have been concerned about the tower's closing. Airport directors like Gary Quill too. "In 34 years in the airport business I have never seen anything like this."
As part of sequestration earlier this year, the Federal Aviation Administration announced it could not afford to staff the towers. "This is an entirely manufactured crisis. This is just so frustrating. There wasn't a reason for it to happen."
However, late last week Congress passed a Senate version of legislation regarding the FAA. It should end furloughs of air traffic controllers which is blamed for delays across the country. It could also allow them more flexibility to move funds around to cover the proposed closings. "Quite a bit of hope. Hopefully this is at the end. We may find out in the next few days."
It's not yet a done deal because the FAA so far hasn't said it will do it. Some have argued small airports like PGD can operate fine without the towers.
Quill says it's a must for an airport now seeing more than 70,000 take offs and landing a year and looking to grow. They have even joined a lawsuit against the federal agency. "This is certainly first off a safety issue. Second an issue of economic impact."
The bill would allow the FAA to use millions from its airport improvement funds and other accounts. Quill says even if it does happen this year it could still be an issue moving forward. "We may have to fight the battle again next year."
Quill says they will continue to wait to see if the FAA agrees to fund the towers. If not, it's expected they will close in mid June.

Deep roster has USC boys primed for title defense
For the better part of a generation, Upper St. Clair has been a WPIAL boys soccer powerhouse.
As such, it's not surprising the Panthers are off to an undefeated start three weeks into the season a year after winning the WPIAL Class AAA championship.
Upper St. Clair has a lineup strong enough to earn the Tribune-Review's No. 1 ranking in WPIAL Class AAA.
But where would the Panthers' reserves rank? To hear the team's coach and starters tell it, they'd be a competitive WPIAL team, too. Upper St. Clair is just that deep.
"We're not just 11 kids," senior defender Wes Burdette said. "There's 22 of us — and anybody can step up in any game."
"We've getting everybody a lot of playing time," coach Uwe Schneider said, "and we've found out we have a very deep bench. We can replace whole parts of the team and still be very competitive. Down the road, that will help us as we go into the playoffs."
The Panthers returned more than half of their starters from a team that went 20-2-2, won the WPIAL and was the PIAA runner-up last season. That group includes a four-year starter in Burdette and the player he shares the team captaincy with, Ethan Dysert.
Dysert, a forward, is in his third season as a major contributor to Upper St. Clair.
"Every single game we go into, we have a target on our backs," Dysert said. "Other teams come in and they're out to beat us because that could be the highlight of their year because we won WPIALs and went so far last year. It motivates us to play even better than we did last year because we have a title to defend."
It's much easier to defend a championship when your steady goalkeeper is back. Schneider said senior Joe Conlon — also a baseball player for Upper St. Clair — is even better than he was last season when he allowed three goals in eight postseason games.
"He's become more athletic and become more of a vocal leader of the defense," Schneider said.
But Colon, of course, isn't the lone reason why Upper St. Clair (6-0-1, 4-0-1 in Section 5-AAA) had allowed only one goal through its first six games before a 2-2 tie with Peters Township Saturday.
Physical senior Jon Erdman and junior Garrett Blake (the only sophomore starter on last season's title-winning team) serve as solid fullbacks, and junior Troye Kiernan and senior Kevin Mack are top defensive midfielders.
Schneider said that this is one of the largest rosters Upper St. Clair has used in his 13 years with the program (11 as head coach). This despite no freshmen playing varsity.
"We're trying to find a balance between keeping everybody happy getting enough playing time and, at the same time, being a very competitive team," Schneider said.
Perhaps the competition among teammates for roster spots and playing time is part of what keeps the Panthers so hungry despite coming off such a successful season. Only a handful of this season's players were not part of last autumn's postseason run.
"It's more of a burden than a bonus to have been successful the previous season," Schneider said. "There's no privilege for it; you have to go out and you have to earn anything you get."
"You haven't won anything yet this year unless you work hard for it and you go out and take it for yourself."

Sawn Logs are building materials introduced in The Elder Scrolls V: Hearthfire.
Lumber can be purchased from the owner of most lumber mills throughout Skyrim or indirectly through a steward. The fixed rate is 20 sawn logs for 200 . The Dragonborn may also ask permission to cut logs for free from mill owners. Each log cut will yield ten sawn logs. Mill owners will only allow the Dragonborn to use their mill if they view him or her as a friend. The easiest way to do this is to sell them some firewood, which can often be cut nearby. They are more likely to agree if they are at home, instead of working at the mill. This is not always necessary; however, as Hod will agree even at the mill, saying "Sure thing, friend. I can use a break anyway." It is worth noting that the 'sawn' logs (10) are collected when the log pile is next activated. As this may be bugged, it is advisable to avoid Mixwater Mill for this.
Unlike other building materials, sawn logs are not added to the inventory. Rather, they are delivered to the building site of the homestead. At the building site, they exist as a physical object called a "Log Pile." It is possible to see how many are available by looking at the logs. However, even though it appears the log pile can be activated, clicking on it does nothing. While they may not be able to be activated, this does not hinder one's ability to use them to build upon one's house.
Lumber MillsEdit
The following is a full list of mills around Skyrim:
- Anga's Mill
- Deadwood Lumber Mill
- Half-Moon Mill
- Heartwood Mill
- Mixwater Mill
- Riverwood
- Solitude Sawmill
- If the sawn logs the Dragonborn cuts do not show up and they do not have the gold to buy them, it takes roughly four minutes real time to chop enough firewood (40 pieces) at a mill to pay for 20 logs. A woodcutter's axe is needed, which may not be easily found at the chosen mill.
This section contains bugs related to Sawn Log. Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
- PC 360 PS3 When instructed to buy lumber for Lakeview Manor, the objective marker may point to Half-Moon Mill, however upon arrival there will be no owner to buy lumber from. This only occurs if Hert and Hern were killed in the Dark Brotherhood quest "Contract: Kill Hern." Buying lumber from another mill will remove the marker.
- Sometimes this will occur regardless of progress into the Dark Brotherhood quest line. Reverting to an earlier save may fix this.
- Logs may appear in the inventory under misc with the appearance of Elven Boots.
- Upon cutting logs at a mill, no logs are awarded. Asking to buy lumber and choosing, "Can't I just cut the lumber myself?" will grant permission again, but still no logs may appear in inventory. This can also occur if the Dragonborn cuts logs at a mill without talking to the owner (e.g. Half Moon Mill after Hert and Hern are dead).
- It is possible to work around this by asking permission while a log is running through the sawmill. The normal set of ten logs should be awarded when the next log is loaded after the sawmill resets. Obtaining further logs will require fresh permission each time while a log is running through.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/6/2014 (1153 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
First Nations leaders in Manitoba fighting for their fair share of the land hailed Thursday's Supreme Court of Canada decision as a victory.
"This landmark decision only bolsters what we've been saying," said Chief Arlen Dumas of Mathias Colomb Cree Nation.
In 2013, the First Nation issued stop-work orders to HudBay Minerals Inc. to stop the mining on band territory at Lalor Lake and Reed Lake and blockaded the road to the Lalor site. The First Nation, formerly known as Pukatawagan, issued a public declaration to all resource companies that its consent is required for any activity in its territory. On Canada Day, it issued a moratorium against all resource extraction in its territory to both the federal and provincial governments.
"We're going to reissue stop-work orders and issue a declaration to HudBay and everyone else who's operating illegally in our territory and remind them they are in violation of a Supreme Court decision and legalities need to be adhered to," Dumas said by phone from the First Nation. "We're going to continue to put pressure on them."
'This is a really big day. Their treaties are not surrenders of land but agreements to share. They don't have a blanket extinguishment clause' -- Aime Craft, University of Manitoba law professor
HudBay later won a court injunction to stop aboriginal protesters from blocking access to two of its remote mines.
The high court's decision could have a huge impact in Manitoba for the Dakota and Sioux, who don't have treaties and for Treaty 1, 2 and 3 First Nations, says a University of Manitoba law professor with 10 years' experience in aboriginal law.
"This is a really big day," said Aimé Craft. "Their treaties are not surrenders of land but agreements to share," she said. "They don't have a blanket extinguishment clause."
First Nations such as Sagkeeng, whose occupancy dates back prior to sovereignty and whose ability to decide on the use of resources within the area they occupied was affected, may now have a say.
"The Supreme Court set out a very clear direction and test," she said. If the occupancy dates back prior to sovereignty and is site-specific -- not a settlement or a village that was occupied 24/7 but land occupied by a semi-nomadic people for hunting, fishing and other forms of harvesting -- they may have a vested title in the land.
That could give First Nations a larger slice of the economic pie.
"The immediate thought is industry and commercial activity," said Craft. "Forestry is huge in Manitoba, the lakes are used for commercial fishing -- there's mining and natural-resources extraction," said Craft.
But proving occupancy and attachment to the land that dates so far back is difficult and expensive, said Craft. The courts like historical, archival records, but prior to European contact there's just oral history and archeological evidence. In land-claim battles, a slew of experts from both sides will debate that evidence, said the lawyer-turned-professor who's represented First Nations going up against the Crown in court.
She hopes the federal government will settle more cases as a result of Thursday's decision.
"Do taxpayers want their tax money to be invested in fighting claims that could be negotiated successfully? Now there is more pressure on government to negotiate."
Thursday's decision should signal to the government that negotiating settlements with First Nations is the right thing to do, said Dumas.
"For whatever reason, they choose to be adversarial," he said. "We want to work collaboratively and move forward with what we're doing. HudBay and the like choose to be adversarial and not uphold the laws of the land.
"They claim they want to work in good faith but how can you speak to somebody when they're suing you?"
Dumas said he and the First Nation are being sued by HudBay "for exercising our constitutionally protected rights."
The company issued this statement: "HudBay has always sought constructive relationships with the First Nations in northern Manitoba. We work continually at strengthening those connections and will always continue to do so."

MATTHEW ENTICKNAP was delighted with his win in Malton Wheelers' latest 10-mile time trial on the Malton to Pickering road.
Enticknap has been in holiday mode so was surprised to take first place with 22 minutes 22 seconds ahead of Paul Hickman (22-27).
Ralph Lilley (23-42) was third.
The times were good because of the warm weather but the finishing straight had a tough direct head wind.
Cameron Turner, on a fixed wheel machine, was chuffed with 24-30, 50 seconds off his personal best.
Dominic Eyre (27-17) beat his PB by nearly two minutes, while Andrea Wood rode her first 10-miler in a superb debut time of 28-50.

Samir Nasri believes the Capital One Cup final could be crucial for City's season
Samir Nasri insists next weekend's Capital One Cup final could make or break Manchester City's season.
Last Updated: 24/02/14 8:31am
City can secure their first piece of silverware when they face Sunderland at Wembley, but Nasri is fully aware of how a cup defeat can send a team into a downward spiral.
The French playmaker was part of the Arsenal side that collapsed in the title race after losing to Birmingham in the 2011 final.
City, having been beaten 2-0 by Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League tie, can ill afford to lose more momentum as they chase trophies on multiple fronts
"I have the experience of losing the Carling Cup with Arsenal," said Nasri.
"After that we only won two games in the league, so a win would be really important for us and the confidence.
"I don't have good memories (of Wembley) with clubs. I have lost a final there with Arsenal and with Manchester City, but I won there with the national team against England.
"I hope it is going to be the same kind of game."
City have not been at their free-scoring best in recent games, but they are expected to welcome back top-scorer Sergio Aguero this week.
The Argentine is set to return to training on Tuesday after a five-week lay-off with a hamstring injury and Nasri admits he will lift the side at a crucial time.
"It is going to be a big boost for the team, but you cannot disrespect Alvaro (Negredo) and Edin (Dzeko)," he said.
"They have done a great job too. It will be good when another striker comes, and with Stevan (Jovetic) and them we can rotate and be more fresh."

Movers & Shakers: Civil Rights Hall of Fame inductees; capital press corps veterans retire
Gov. Rick Scott has named James B. Sanderlin, Margarita Romo and Harry T. and Harriette Moore to the Florida Civil Rights Hall of Fame.
Here's a look at the inductees:
Sanderlin, a St. Petersburg judge who died in 1990, was the lead attorney representing six families in civil rights cases over classroom segregation, which resulted in desegregation in Hillsborough and Sarasota Counties. As the lead attorney for a group of 12 black police officers known as the "Courageous Twelve," Sanderlin won a lawsuit to end discriminatory assignments in segregated neighborhoods.
Romo is the executive director of Farmworkers Self-Help Inc. which provides immigration assistance and other services. She fights for the rights of migrant farmworkers in Pasco and Hernando counties, advocating for improvements to Tommytown, a poor farm worker community on the north end of Dade City. Romo also established Agricultural Women Involved in New Goals.
Harry T. and Harriette Moore were civil rights pioneers in Florida, fighting for equal pay, investigating lynchings, police brutality and all-white primaries. Harry Moore founded the first branch of the NAACP in Brevard County. But the Moores lost their teaching jobs because of political optimism, according to NAACP.org, and on Christmas Day 1951, Moore was killed by a bomb placed under his bed. His wife died nine days later.
"These champions of freedom have paved the way for equal rights among all Floridians," Scott said in a press release. "This year's three inductees into the Florida Civil Rights Hall of Fame have acted on their conviction and truly made a difference in the countless lives here in our state and around the country. We must honor their legacy by working to ensure that all Floridians have access to a great education so they can live their version of the American Dream."
Veteran journalists retiring from press corps
The capital press corps lost 80 years of experience last week after longtime journalists Lucy Morgan, of the Tampa Bay Times, and Bill Kaczor, of AP, retired.
On her last day at work Friday, Morgan tweeted: "It's been a "wild, fun ride, 48 years writing about Florida news." And in her column, published Friday, she wrote an open letter to House Speaker Will Weatherford that began: Dear Will, I thought you could use a few words of advice from an old-timer who spent a lot of time in Pasco County before moving to Tallahassee in 1985, especially since I'm retiring and won't be around the Capitol to help keep you in line.
Morgan was a Tampa Bay Times reporter in Pasco County from 1968 until December 1985, when she was appointed capital bureau chief in Tallahassee. She shared
the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting with Jack Reed for stories about the Pasco County Sheriff's Department.
In a memo about Morgan's second retirement to the Tampa Bay Times, editor Neil Brown wrote: "Even with an abbreviated schedule, Lucy remained a central part of the Times brand in Tallahassee and she continued to hold the powerful to account with her award-winning journalism."
Kaczor retired last week after working for the AP in Florida for 33 years. He was a former reporter for the former Playground Daily News in Fort Walton Beach and the Pensacola News Journal before coming to Tallahassee in 1975 with the Gannett News Service. He joined AP in 1980.
Kaczor was appointed as AP's Pensacola correspondent in 1984,and returned to Tallahassee in 2005, where he covered the Florida Supreme Court, hurricanes, elections and the Legislature.
"Bill has been the consummate professional for decades -- fair, fast and accurate" said Tim Nickens, editor page editor of the Tampa Bay Times. "It has always been a comfort to look in the press gallery at the state Capital and see Bill perched in the center, keeping a sharp eye on lawmakers and fast-moving legislation for all of us."New press secretary at the Department of Health
Molly Koon Kellogg will become the new press secretary at the Florida Department of Health starting March 15th, replacing Jessica Hammonds, who left to become comunications director for Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll. Kellogg was previously communications director for the Capital Region YMCA, and she was also communications director with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs.
New communications director at the Office of Financial Regulation
Tiffany Vause has been named director of communications for the Florida Office of Financial Regulation. She was the press secretary for the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration from 2009 to 2010, and a project coordinator at Florida Ready to Work from 2002 to 2009. She most recently was manager of Comprehensive Breast Center at Capital Regional Medical Center, and was marketing director at Capital Regional Medical Center. Katie Norris, who has been the acting spokeswoman at the Office of Financial Regulation, will continue as a public information specialist

Newton County has approximately 270 cemeteries that have been located, many of them small family or church cemeteries that have deteriorated over the years due to neglect as their locations and purpose faded from people's consciousness.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, area residents are planning to clean a small cemetery off Ridge Road that could house the remains of slaves or former slaves.
Volunteers are being sought for the event, which is being sponsored by the African-American Historical Association of Newton County and local business Team Sports and Signs and will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"It's in deplorable shape with trees overgrown and graves all sunk in. Some graves people will come and clean and leave the rest of them. We're going to try to clean them up as best as possible," said Fred Johnson, one of the event's organizers.
The .69-acre cemetery is located off Ridge Road, which runs off of Oak Hill Road east of where it intersects with Ga. Highway 81. The cemetery, which is owned by Newton County, is located about 100 feet north of the road just after the seventh house on the street; balloons will mark the way on Jan. 20, according to a flyer for the event.
Johnson said the county will provide a dumpster for debris and said the Newton County Sheriff's Office would be helping, along with County Commissioner Lanier Sims, school board member Eddie Johnson and members of area churches.
"(Volunteers) need to bring their own axes, chainsaws and bush blades and come prepared to work," Johnson said Friday, nothing the organizers were still looking for a company to provide free lunch for volunteers.
Johnson can be reached at 404-308-0780.
Cemetery story
Monty Laster, the last surviving member of the Newton County Cemetery Committee, said there are 62 documented graves at the Ridge Road Cemetery, so named because no one knows if it's a family cemetery or used to be
attached to some church.
There are a lot of Hendersons buried there, but Johnson believes may have been tied to a church that used to be in the area.
"Each person in a cemetery has a story to tell and you can learn a lot about those buried. The houses are long gone in most cases, but the burials, that helps us determine what went on in this community," Laster said.
"With this cemetery, I wish we knew more about (it).
"People say it used to be a slave cemetery, but we don't know that for sure. The person who has the oldest marker was born in 1851 and died in 1920. But that's only the one who has markers."
Johnson and Laster have talked to surrounding property owners, the person who used to own the land and a woman whose father is buried there.
The woman whose father was buried in the cemetery said it's the "Hendrix Cemetery," and Laster has identified three Hendrix members, though there are more Browns, Griers, Hendersons, Hursts, Smiths, Thompsons and, most of all, Wrights.
Laster said there are probably more than 100 graves without markers, some of which are identified by rocks and sunken holes and others that can't be identified at all.
"That's what we look for (rocks and sunken holes).
"You have to be careful when you do a cleanup, because you don't want to disturb any of the rocks. Large rocks were generally for the headstone, and small rocks were for the foot stone," Laster said.
Even the markers won't last forever, as some of them, like Mance Henderson's – which says "Gone but not forgotten – are made from homemade concrete.
Laster said about half of the county's 270 identified cemeteries would be classified as abandoned, because they shows signs of neglect or vandalism or are overgrown to the point where nothing can be done.
Laster, a former county commissioner, helped put in development regulations that require homeowners, developers and builders to take steps to identify and protect cemeteries.

The Best New Windows 10 Phone Features in 6 GIFs
The Windows 10 preview for laptops has been out for a while, but the beta version of the new Microsoft operating system only came to (a few, select) phones yesterday.

A Royall & Co. survey of more than 2,100 international students conducted in February found the current political climate made about one-third of them less interested in attending a college or university in the U.S. Royall & Co. is a division of EAB (formerly Education Advisory Board) that provides consulting services for higher education administrators.
Among those who said they were less interested, nearly 70 percent listed concern about the administration of President Donald Trump as their top reason. More than half said they were worried about travel restrictions for international students. Concerns about personal safety and the cost of studying in the United States were also among the most common reasons cited for declining interest.
More than 40 percent of students in India said their interest has decreased because of the current political climate, the largest percentage of students in any country included in the survey. That segment of the report caught the eye of John Wilkerson, IU's director of international admissions, because of recent incidents of violence directed toward Indian nationals in the U.S. One of those instances, a Feb. 22 shooting in Kansas in which witnesses said a man identified as Adam Purinton yelled "get out of my country" before killing Srinivas Kuchibhotla and wounding two other men, one of whom is also from India, occurred while data for the survey was still being collected. The other, in which an Indian man in a Seattle suburb reported being shot in the arm and told to "go back to your own country," happened March 3, after data collection had ended.

Stay Tuned: New Orleans' Classic TV Commercials
They are just snippets from television commercials that often ran 30 seconds or less. But almost every New Orleanian of a certain age will remember them. What's at 1825 Tulane? Who sang "Seafood City, very pretty…?" Who are Rosemary and Anna Mae, and what products did they pitch? What furniture store employs "The Special Man?"
Almost as entertaining as the TV programs they appeared in, many Crescent City commercials have become classics over the years – quoted and fondly remembered by thousands of local viewers. From television's earliest days, these commercials' value was in more than just entertainment — the messages helped to sell many different products – from cars and furniture to po-boys and doughnuts.
Stay Tuned: New Orleans' Classic TV Commercials is a one-hour retrospective of favorite television advertisements, featuring the stars, jingles and catch phrases that became legendary. This latest local production from WYES-TV/Channel 12 pays homage to the classic commercials and their creators.
A companion piece to WYES' successful production NEW ORLEANS TV: THE GOLDEN AGE (which was nominated for a 2004 Suncoast Regional Emmy Award), the new program includes clips from local commercials that pitched Jax Beer, Rosenberg's Furniture, Seafood City, D.H. Holmes, Time Saver, McKenzie's, K&B, Maison Blanche, Pontchartrain Beach, Frankie and Johnnie's Furniture and many more.
Jingles and slogans like "Hello, mellow Jax, little darlin'," "Seafood City. Very pretty. 1826 North Broad," and of course, "Rosenberg's, Rosenberg's. 1825 Tulane," and many others help to tell the story of TV advertising in New Orleans. Interviews with retired seafood retailer Al Scramuzza (Seafood City), actresses Becky Allen and Shirl Cieutat ("Rosemary" and "Anna Mae" for Time Saver) and furniture store owner Frank Trapani (Frankie & Johnnie's Furniture) paint a colorful picture of local advertising "characters," some imaginary, and many larger than life. Local songwriter Benny Grunch helps recount the unforgettable commercials of one of them – TV pitchman Dick Bruce, best known for his McKenzie's bakery advertisements.
Documenting the earliest days of local television advertising, which often went hand-in-hand with programming are retired meteorologist Nash Roberts, WDSU-TV anchor/reporter Alec Gifford and former WDSU-TV personality Terry Flettrich Rohe.
Behind every clever concept and idea were local TV advertising pioneers, who used their creativity and market savvy to convince consumers to buy the products – and in so doing, etched the commercials' characters and jingles into the community's collective memory. Sharing their stories will be Peter Mayer, local advertising legend and founder of Peter A. Mayer Advertising and Public Relations; Laura Lee Killeen and Ron Thompson, advertising executives with Beuerman Miller Fitzgerald advertising agency; and advertising executive Barbara Elliott Wedemeyer, whose real-life daughter provided the voice that became so famous in Rosenberg's Furniture's commercials.
Humor was often used to deliver the commercials' intended messages. Some of Jax Beer's most memorable commercials used animated characters, which were created and voiced by the 1950s and 1960s comedy team of Mike Nichols and Elaine May. New Orleans' own set of Ninth Ward personalities were brought to life by Becky Allen and Shirl Cieutat, Rosemary and Anna Mae of the Time Saver commercials. Some of the most homegrown and humorous spots in recent memory feature crawfish king Al Scramuzza, whose Seafood City jingle and one-of-a-kind characters are legendary.
Other favorite icons included Universal Furniture's "Chairman," and later a "Chairwoman" (played by Becky Allen); LAS Enterprises' "Oscar," – viewers were urged to "Put this man to work;" Miller the Killer, the icon for the exterminating company of the same name; and Trader Joe Paretti for Paretti Pontiac. K&B and McKenzie's Pastry Shoppes, Pontchartrain Beach, and the department stores D.H. Holmes, Maison Blanche, Godchaux's and Labiche's all had memorable commercials. A 1950s commercial for Luzianne featured actress Betty White selling coffee.
The program documents an era of live television that is long gone today. But "stay tuned" – the next classic commercials may just be a click of the remote away.
Ronnie Virgets narrates the program, which is produced by Dominic Massa, and edited by Larry Roussarie. Funding is provided by the Producers Circle, a group of viewers dedicated to supporting quality local programming on WYES.

A MAN has been arrested after colliding with a security guard while attempting to drive a golf buggy out of the gates at the Open Championship at Hoylake.
Merseyside Police said a 45-year-old man was held following the incident outside Gate Four of the site at Royal Liverpool Golf Club.
The security guard received a minor leg injury as the man clipped him before crashing the buggy into a barrier.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said: "We can confirm that a man has been arrested following an incident at The Open golf practice day in Hoylake at about 7.30pm on Wednesday evening.
"The 45-year-old man from Birkenhead was arrested following an incident which involved the taking of a golf buggy on the course.
"One man was arrested on suspicion of assault after the buggy collided with a barrier near to the entrance gate on Meols Drive.
"Just before colliding with the barrier the buggy caught a security guard causing a slight injury to his leg."
On Monday, thieves broke into a "pop-up" shop on Hoylake's Market Street and made off with the owner's entire stock - an estimated £10,000 of clothing, including 250 waterproof suits.
Vic Tolhurst, 72, and from Wakefield, had opened the shop for the especially for the tournament and is only in Hoylake for two weeks.
He said: "I've been selling golf equipment and clothing for 25 years and this is the first time I've been robbed.
"Whoever did this came in through the back of the shop. I only realised there'd been a break because the place was really cold.
"The experience has not blighted my opinion of the area. Hoylake's a nice place and I'd like to live here if I had the chance."

Here's What's new at Stages
Join our Friends!
Artist o' the Week: Molly Searcy
Molly Searcy plays four very different women in her Stages debut in Wittenberg. Before the show opened last week, Stages' Eva Laporte chatted with this Cypress, TX, gal, who received her Theatre and Dance degree from UT Austin. Molly shared a bit about what to expect and what might surprise you in Wittenberg.
Molly, when did you know a life in the theatre was the one for you?
Oh man, I always knew! I spent my life as a ballerina and planned on becoming a professional dancer as an adult. However, in high school, some things happened and that dream changed. One of those 'things [that] happened' was being cast as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. My God, being part of that show was a life-altering experience. I had performed in plays before, but nothing like Cuckoo's Nest. That production changed my life in the best way - I gained honesty, emotional freedom, and learned how to be comfortable in my own skin. So, yes, I have always known I want a career in theatre, but the way that career has manifested has been a wonderful surprise.
What has surprised you most about Wittenberg?
How dramatic and heartbreaking it can be. Wittenberg is a comedy full of allusion, double entendre, and thoughtful humor, but it also features some really raw and tender moments. The show is a well-rounded meal: All the emotional food groups are represented.
Where are you at in the process right now? What are you grappling with?
We are less than one week from opening! Tech is the now the name of the game. Woohoo! Currently, I am grappling with momentum. It is essential for this production to maintain a locomotive-like pace, continually gaining strength and speed, as we move through every scene. Josh is doing an incredible job guiding my fellow actors and me in achieving the desired energy.
What do you hope the audience experiences when watching the play?
I hope the audience experiences what the characters experience. I hope they feel the joy, the sarcasm, the sexual energy, the frustration, and the heartache Luis, Ryan, Kenn, and I feel. And I hope they laugh their asses off.
Well, just from watching a few scenes in rehearsal, I know folks will be laughing. Ok, now let's learn a little more about you since this is your debut at Stages. Tell us ten things, any ole things, about you!
Ten things about Molly Searcy
1. My Norwegian Elkhound mix, Violet, is the love of my life.
2. I have a secret desire to become an Alaskan bush pilot. I am so jealous Ryan Schabach already has his pilot's license! Go Ryan!
3. I. love. opera.
4. Earthy smells are my favorite: sandalwood, library books, leather, and my dog's paws.
5. In my opinion, As Good As It Gets is one of the greatest pieces of cinema ever created.
6. I am addicted to NPR. World Have Your Say is mah fave show.
7. My family is a constant source of comedy.
8. My first crush was on Keanu Reeves. LOL
9. I once skipped school in elementary so I could stay home and watch HBO "Moment of Truth" movies and organize my Halloween candy.
10. I love the Texas Longhorns.
Molly appears in David Davalos's Wittenberg, playing January 23 – February 17, 2013. Tickets are available online or by calling 713.527.0123.

A 20-YEAR-OLD was convicted of drink driving today, following a spectacular crash that saw him lose control of his car – which flew into the air, flipping, before smashing through a wall and landing in a Marlow garden.
The Peugeot 206's 7am mid-air roll led to Eliot Nutt being breathalysed by police and today he was banned from the roads by magistrates.
CCTV footage of Nutt's crash, taken by a neighbour at the Dean Street scene, shows the "crash, bang, wallop" sequence where an approaching car brakes hard as the driver sees the Peugeot travelling at speed towards him.
Moments later, the Peugeot swerves to the nearside and the bonnet ploughs into a wall. The car then spins around, becomes airborne and flips before smashing through another wall and landing - right way up - in a front garden.
Nutt is seen inside, apparently uninjured as emergency services are called to the scene.
Today the motorist appeared before magistrates at Amersham, where he admitted a single charge of driving with excess alcohol.
The court heard that Nutt was almost twice the drink-drive limit when the crash happened in Marlow.
He told the magistrates: "I was driving some friends home from Reading who had no way of getting back and I thought I was doing them a favour.
"I thought I was okay to drive, but clearly I wasn't."
The court heard that Nutt had just dropped off his friends and was heading home at 6.50am on October 28.
"I had all the heaters on full blast and I just lost control," he said.
Andy Callander, prosecuting, told how homeowners were alerted to a loud bang outside their properties.
"The vehicle collided with the outer wall of numbers 57 and 59," he said.
"It then rolled over and landed in the garden of number 59."
Nutt failed a roadside breath test with a reading of 61mg of alcohol per 100ml of breath.
The legal limit is 35mg.
When interviewed, he told officers that he had last had a drink at 11pm the previous evening.
Nutt, of Douglas Road, Caversham, represented himself during the short hearing.
Presiding magistrate Frank Hawkins disqualified Nutt from driving for 18 months but told him that this would be reduced by four months if he completed a drink drivers' rehabilitation course by November next year.
He also fined him £110 pounds, ordered him to pay costs of £85 pounds and a £20 pounds victim surcharge.
On passing sentence Mr Hawkins said: "It is very important that you realise the offence of drink-driving is very serious and you must follow the disqualification rules."

The "Live Free or Die State" could be killing its local cigar shops if the government passes a new proposal to tax cigars.
The New Hampshire House of Representatives is considering a bill that would introduce a 60 percent tax on the wholesale price of a retailer's entire cigar inventory, as well as a 60 percent tax on the wholesale price of individual sticks purchased. At that rate, a cigar sold for $2 at wholesale would have a tax of $1.20 added.
Last July, New Hampshire became the last state in New England to enact a comprehensive indoor smoking ban eliminating lighting up in virtually all public spaces, including restaurants and bars. If the proposed tax bill passes, it would mandate a July 1, 2008 activation date.

Rick Pitino has achieved success in the realms of college basketball coaching, authoring and motivational speaking, and now he can check another skill off the bucket list: deep-sea fishing.
Earlier this week Pitino went out on the water with some friends to fish for marlin for the first time in his life. So, of course he caught one, as Pitino and his buddies reeled in an 80-pound whopper of a marlin that ought to make a nice addition to someone's den.
Check out a picture of Pitino and his boys with the mammoth fish below.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/8/2014 (1097 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CAN you imagine Nicki Minaj doing a family-friendly performance of Anaconda at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards?
MTV better hope so, or there are going to be some strongly worded emails filling organizers' inboxes.
Parents Television Council president Tim Winter wrote a letter to Janet Borelli, senior VP of standards and practices at MTV, with TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board, on copy, according to Billboard.
"While last year's Miley Cyrus/Robin Thicke performance garnered most of the headlines after the fact, the sexually charged and otherwise inappropriate content of the show was not limited to them. Even more troubling was... that MTV still applied a TV-14 rating to the program, despite other adult-oriented performances and advertising messages. Such a rating was simply unacceptable to the families who depend on the television ratings system to be applied accurately and to the millions of families whose children are marketed to by MTV. The 2013 VMAs were a public relations kerfuffle for your network that I feel certain you will not wish to repeat."

As first reported by Variety, Reese Witherspoon was arrested for disorderly conduct early Friday morning in Atlanta. According to the police report, Witherspoon was handcuffed after disobeying repeated instruction from the arresting officer, with whom she verbally sparred, following the DUI arrest of her husband-agent Jim Toth. Which leads us to ask–will the Oscar-winning actress' career take a hit following her arrest?

this sort of things happens to hundreds of people everyday… it's not news, it's cheap tabloid controversy… the hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife… go to any big party and there's booze everywhere, waiters change your glass as soon as it's empty… and then you have two hundred couples drive away… so Reese wasn't lucky that night, big ****ing deal… next week it'll be somebody else… pay the fine and move on.
I'm glad it happened, I never liked her anyway with her ugly ass -nose -in- the –air attitude, I hope she falls flat on her face!!
sounds like a personal vendetta …
Her career was already in danger. Last few years her movies weren't good.
frankly…does she have a career anymore…i havent seen a performance out of her since walk the line…

Starkey: The Steelers' mystery speed merchant
Football in shorts means nothing. I get that. Forty-yard dash times in shorts mean even less.
But when a man negotiates those 40 yards in 4.22 seconds, he will raise eyebrows — especially when his resume already shows he had more 100-yard kickoff-return touchdowns (five) than anyone who played major college football.
So yes, Utah's Reggie Dunn is a player to track as the Steelers wind toward training camp. Just don't blink.
Can he do anything but return kicks?
No idea. He mentioned he saw time as a gunner in college and knows how to tackle. But that was after he mentioned 4.22, so I'm not even sure I heard it right.
Will his kick-return prowess translate at this level?
Again, sorry … but 4.22.
Will the Steelers make room for a one-trick pony, if indeed Dunn is that?
Not sure (4.22).
That ridiculous number, by the way, is Chris Johnson-fast and would have made Dunn the fastest wideout at the NFL Combine, if only he'd been invited. I wondered if it was one of those "agent" runs they talk about, or perhaps wind-aided.
Dunn directed me to YouTube, and sure enough, it's there, for all to see, at Utah's pro day. And even if 4.22 isn't his norm, anything below 4.3 is pretty sick.
"The official times they brought to the scouts and turned into the NFL were 4.22 and 4.26," Dunn explained. "Actually, the coaches here the other day had me at 4.29."
Still, Dunn knows it wasn't so much the 40-yard dash as a series of 100-yard dashes that got him his NFL shot. Over his final five collegiate games, he had four 100-yard-plus TD returns, including two against Cal, which might explain his Twitter handle: @ReggieDunn100.
The last time he touched an NCAA-inscribed football, Dunn sprinted the length of the field with it. Colorado had just returned a fourth-quarter kickoff for a touchdown and was still celebrating when Reggie went one-and-Dunn a final time, scoring the winning points in a 42-35 victory.
"I hadn't touched the ball the whole game," he said. "For some reason, they kicked it to me."
It is a bit puzzling that Dunn wasn't more involved in Utah's offense. He had just 25 combined runs and catches his senior year. He didn't even return punts, prompting speculation that he couldn't catch them.
"I wasn't able to (return punts) at Utah for different reasons," he said, cryptically. "But if you come out here and watch me, you can obviously see I can catch the ball."
If Dunn fails, it won't be for a lack of reverence for the franchise that signed him as an undrafted free agent. He says he grew up a Steelers fan in Compton, Calif., because his father, Reggie Dunn Sr., is a friend of former Steelers star Louis Lipps. The two hail from the same area of New Orleans.
"I can remember when Plaxico Burress was a rookie, when Tommy Maddox was here, when Kordell Stewart was here," Dunn said. "All those guys — Jerome Bettis, Willie Parker. It's crazy that I'm on the same field and in the same facility.
"When I got that call from Coach Tomlin saying, 'We want you to return kicks for us. Come to camp and show us what you can do,' I wasn't going to turn that down."
A solid 5-foot-10, 178 pounds, Dunn is no giant. But he doesn't deserve the ever-present "diminutive" title, either.
"When I got here, Coach Tomlin said, 'I thought you were smaller,' " Dunn said. "I was like, 'Looks can be deceiving.' "
So can 40 times. But at the very least, you have to be intrigued.
The Steelers sure are.

Doctor is giving a physical to two hot boys
College boy diary:"…Out of breath, Chad took a second to catch his breath and then climbed down off the table. That is when the doctor asked if I wanted the same treatment. I wasn't going to turn down getting off by the hot doctor. Getting comfortable, I was ready for the hottest hand job that I was going to receive. The doctor grabbed some lube and started stroking my cock, and it was just a slow steady climb for me. In my head I just thought that I wanted the moment to last as long as it could.
All of a sudden, Chad let out that he was going to blow his load again for a second time. He came on my leg with his load, and thank god it was smaller in size. However, it was still thick!
The doctor went back to jerking me off with all the muscles in his hand and it took several minutes, but I started to feel like I was getting close to having an orgasm. My breathing was getting faster, and then all of a sudden I could feel the cum starting to come. I used every muscle in my body to hold it back, but it only bought me seconds as the cum was sprayed on my stomach. I came on my lower stomach a nice size load for all the doctor's hard work. .."

Fashion is always at its best when you incorporate something borrowed for your ensemble, but how about something blue? A color many Fashionistos are already fond of may become the next big trend on campus. The color blue has been making frequent appearances in multiple outfit selections throughout the student body. If it's not a blue shirt or bright blue pants, it's blue shoes! Right along with fall, the blue shoe craze is rapidly taking over.
I've seen Fashionistas/os accessorizing in their blue left and right. Possibly a sign for school spirit, sporting the university's colors blue and white, Hamptonians are boldly adopting the trend. I could not let this trend go unnoticed. I was able to capture a Fashionisto who knew exactly how to implement the fall color into his Friday get up. He wears a blue and orange shirt with blue shorts and accessorizes with blue shoes.
His attire also goes well with the transition between seasons. Although he's wearing short sleeves and shorts, his colors remain neutral. He makes a risky decision by pairing blue shoes with his blue pants, but it works! It's great to take chances in fashion and especially when accessorizing. Prepare for the cool weather and indulge in the color blue for fall 2013.
Spotted: Are you looking for inspiration on ways to incorporate the color blue in your fall look? This is certainly a trend you wouldn't want to pass up. Check out this model from the spring 2013 ready-to-wear Diane von Furstenberg collection.

From a media release
Babel On: The Global Electronica of Watcha Clan Makes the World Speak One Dance-Inducing Language on Radio Babel
Available Now
The biblical city of Babel and its infamous tower have received bad press over the centuries. Imagined as a looming structure built by children in which all residents spoke the same language, the omnipresent God decided to trick humans in order to make them scatter - the word Babel is derived from the Hebrew balal, to "jumble."
Yet if we consider the tower as a prototype radio transmitter, as Marseille, France-based Watcha Clan does on its latest album, Radio Babel (Piranha), the sound of one world singing and dancing together makes perfect sense.
"We want to be understood by everyone," says the charismatic vocalist Sista K. "Singing in different languages is the first step in cultural integration, especially expressing the message in English, the international language. Maybe that's not what people expect from 'world music,' but what is essential is to understand each other. With Radio Babel the message goes with the music, and also with the words. Music has the power to pass through any border."
Joined by a multi-cultural cast featuring producer/keyboardist Suprem Clem, bassist Matt Labesse and vocalist/guitarist Nassim Kouti from Oran in Algeria, connecting the European and Middle Eastern worlds has the band's calling card for a decade. Radio Babel is this band's clarion call to watching the walls tumble down.
Viens, Viens Feat Maurice El Medioni by Watcha Clan
" While the band's powerful live instrumentation touched with electronic textures includes the indigenous music of Morocco, Algeria, Israel, Spain, the Balkans, Turkey and France, Radio Babel is predominantly concerned with destroying boundaries everywhere. The first video, a mini-documentary focused on Mexican-American border issues, is set to the hit song "We Are One," and features interviews with migrant workers and farmers.
Finding an international fanbase with 2008's Diaspora Hi-Fi, the following year's Diaspora Remixed included remixes by newfound friends across the planet, creating an even broader sound which is found in the new recording. Watcha Clan has always exhibited a visionary spiritual eclecticism in its sound, stretching from Gnawa trance and drum 'n bass to hiphop, Balkan brass and Sephardic folk, with thriving bass-heavy pulsations countered by Sista K's show-stopping vocals.
Unlike many other electronic-fueled projects, every member of Watcha Clan can play their instruments well. They employ samplers and drum pads not as crutches but accentuations of the trance inducing, rhythmically astute rhythms they reproduce on stage. No album to date has highlighted this as beautifully as Radio Babel. Previously the band felt like two: a studio project that pumped out itinerant folklore in a digital age, and a wonderful live band that triggered kick drums as quickly as clanked karkabous.
This new record is the perfect fusion of these two entities. On Radio Babel, the electronics have taken a slight backseat to more mature and fuller songwriting. Kouti and K's harmonizing on the Tuareg-drenched "Hasnaduro" is yet another example of cultural convergence. Pulling from the great surge in Malian desert music via Tinariwen and Toumast, Watcha Clan injects a hearty dose of electric guitars, ululations and North African percussion, including the low register of the bass-like gumbri, into this throbbing dance song.
Perhaps the most inventive song, however, is the band's take on the 17th century Hebrew poem by Rabbi Shalom Shabazi, "Im Nin'alu," most famously covered by Israeli great Ofra Haza.
Whatever sound these nomadic souls travel through, you can be certain that Watcha Clan will accomplish what great artists do: highlight the similarities between cultures through music, instead of complaining about the differences. To hear the sound of one world united by music, join the movement on Radio Babel.
