Fans at WWE live events have noticed that the company has been greatly reducing the price on Daniel Bryan merchandise over the last couple of weeks. That has led to some speculation about the future of the former world heavyweight champion, who has been out of action because of a severe neck injury. The belief is that management is simply trying to clear out the merchandise, and that it has no bearing on what will happen with Bryan.
November 20, 2014
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated Now, Daniel Bryan discussed his status after neck surgery. He revealed that he still has weakness in one of his hands, which Bryan stated is a detriment in his line of work.

October 14, 2014
For the past 24 years, Pro Wrestling Illustrated has listed the top 500 performers in the industry. Despite being injured, Daniel Bryan was given the top honor this year. It is the first time that he has been ranked as the top wrestler in the world. He managed to beat out fellow WWE stars, Randy Orton and John Cena. Among the notable newer performers in the top ten were Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns.
September 26, 2014
Brie Bella recently gave WWE fans some hope when she revealed that Daniel Bryan was no longer going to need a second surgery to repair his neck injury.

However, reports are now surfacing that WWE is trying to see if Bryan can make his return at Survivor Series 2014 instead.
September 9, 2014
During a media interview to promote Total Divas, Brie Bella revealed that Daniel Bryan would not be needing the second surgery that has long been rumored to repair his neck injury.

September 7, 2014
WWE decisions are sometimes garbage, according to Batista. During a recent podcast interview with Chris Jericho, the former world heavyweight champion stated that he was disgusted by how the creative department utilized Daniel Bryan after he was put over at Wrestlemania 30. Batista felt that Bryan should have been allowed to sell the injuries from the previous night because it would have added to his lovable underdog character.
August 31, 2014
Yesterday, it was revealed that WWE had pulled Daniel Bryan from the upcoming European tour in November. The former world heavyweight champion was scheduled to make appearances at the live events on that continent. Reports are now surfacing that management made the decision to pull him from the tour because Bryan has received confirmation from doctors that a second surgery is needed to repair his neck injury.
August 29, 2014
It looks like Daniel Bryan will not be joining WWE in Europe after all. The company has decided to pull advertisement featuring the former world heavyweight champion from upcoming live events in Europe. Initially, management wanted him to make appearances on those shows in order to draw in more of an audience. However, they have changed their minds and are allowing Bryan to remain at home and focus on recover.
August 28, 2014
With so much speculation in the air on his condition, it looks like Daniel Bryan will be making a return to WWE in November. Unfortunately, though, he will not be wrestling when he does come back. Management has advertised Bryan to be at the live events that the company is hosting in Europe later on this year. The feeling is that WWE needs all the star power that they can get to draw in the audience.
August 26, 2014
While a lot of fans are under the impression that his return to WWE is a certainty, Daniel Bryan is not nearly as confident. He understands his body well enough, and he has spoken with quite a few doctors on the matter. Bryan is leaving open the possibility that he may never wrestle again because of the injured neck. The former world heavyweight champion has dismissed rumors that he will be back by Royal Rumble 2015.
August 16, 2014
In order to help promote her upcoming match at Summerslam 2014 against Stephanie McMahon, Brie Bella is on the road this weekend for WWE. The company is sending her and Nikki Bella to the Wizard World event in San Antonio. Brie is still on a reduced schedule, as management wants to give her time to be with Daniel Bryan while he is still recovering from his neck surgery.
August 2, 2014
With his health being quite the uncertainty at this point in time, there are all sorts of rumors floating around about the return of Daniel Bryan. The latest one has the former WWE champion coming back at Royal Rumble 2015. Much of that is speculation, though, since Bryan needs to go in for another surgery, and there's no telling how his body will react to the procedure.
August 2, 2014
To further their story line, WWE has revealed that Stephanie McMahon has invited Brie Bella to make an appearance on the next episode of Monday Night Raw. This should move them closer to the long rumored match at Summerslam 2014. The belief is that this also gives the company an opportunity to showcase Daniel Bryan and capitalize on the fame that he recently picked up by detaining a burglar.
July 28, 2014
A video of the police press conference featuring WWE stars Daniel Bryan, who detained a burglar at his home, and Brie Bella.
July 26, 2014
While he is already revered by WWE fans, Daniel Bryan has now become a real life hero. The former world heavyweight champion and Brie Bella were coming home when they noticed that their front door was open. Upon realizing that they were being burglarized, Bryan immediately pursued one of the thieves and put him into a rear naked choke before police officers arrived on the scene to arrest him.
July 26, 2014
Fans in attendance at the Comic Con event in San Diego this week have a chance to meet Christopher Daniels. The former TNA star has a booth there to promote his comic book. Daniels was paid a visit by Daniel Bryan, who was sent to the show by WWE to help promote the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The two of them had a nice talk and posed for a social media picture together.
July 25, 2014
One the things that made Kenta Kobayashi so famous in Japan was his diverse moves set. Unfortunately, though, a lot of his signature maneuvers cannot e utilized in WWE. His Go 2 Sleep finisher is commonly associated with CM Punk nowadays. His knee finisher and submission move are both being used by Daniel Bryan. The belief is that WWE will have him come up with new moves in developmental.
July 20, 2014
For whatever reasons, Mick Foley took to social media this week to defend Batista, stating that it was unfair for fans to have this much hate towards him and his WWE return. Foley mentioned that Batista was at the wrong place at the wrong time because fans were so desperate to see Daniel Bryan being given a proper push. He also feels that not enough people are happy for Batista being featured in a big movie this summer.
July 14, 2014
While many are under the impression that he is temporarily holding the WWE Championship until Daniel Bryan can return from a serious neck injury, word coming out of backstage is that John Cena is expected to have a lengthy title reign. Management wants people to believe that his 15th title reign is very important, so they might keep the belt on him a long time to emphasize that.
July 12, 2014
Initially, Daniel Bryan had surgery to repair a seriously damaged neck. However, doctors found further issues for the former WWE champion recently. His shoulders are pretty messed up as well. Additional procedures could be required to repair all of the damage to his body. Bryan is out indefinitely, and there is no timetable backstage for his return.
July 10, 2014
By now, everyone should know that WWE has plans on pushing Roman Reigns into the main event scene. However, not everyone knows that the original plan was not this accelerated. Management has decided to pull the trigger much quicker on the Reigns push because of the absence of Daniel Bryan, who is still indefinitely on the sideline due to a serious neck injury. There are some concerns backstage that Reigns could be ruined if the push is rushed too quickly.
July 10, 2014
Some rumors have surfaced that Daniel Bryan is returning to WWE soon, and the cause of the confusion is over the fact that he was spotted in the ring with his wrestling gear on last night. The former world heavyweight champion was simply filming a public service announcement. Even though he informed the fans in the arena that he might still need another surgery to repair his damaged neck, some were still under the belief that he was coming back soon.
July 2, 2014
While there is still a chance that he was working the audience during his speech at Money in the Bank 2014, the topic of Daniel Bryan require a second surgery to repair his neck is a major issue for WWE. Reports are surfacing that if it is true that he needs to go under the knife again, there is a very good chance that Bryan could miss up to a year of action.
June 30, 2014
There is a feeling within the WWE locker room that management does not want Daniel Bryan back in the main event scene when he makes his return. Some are pointing out how he is being brought back in a minimum role at Money in the Bank 2014 as a sign of WWE downplaying his importance. Guys like Batista and Brock Lesnar would not be utilized in such a manner when they come back from their hiatus.
June 29, 2014
Those that have been following Mick Foley closely over the last year are aware that there is some sort of backstage heat between he and Vince McMahon. WWE has given him the cold shoulders on a couple of occasions. Foley has now revealed a possible source of that friction. He accidentally sent a message to McMahon while trying to send to Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan. The content of that message was Foley complaining about WWE not doing the right thing and putting Bryan over when his popularity was at its peak.
June 27, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, reports are surfacing that the audience at Monday Night Raw did not react much when WWE announced that Daniel Bryan would be making an appearance at Money in the Bank 2014. That comes as a surprise because he was really one of the most popular guys in the industry before he left to have surgery on his injured neck. It should be interesting to see how fans react to him at the pay per view itself.
June 24, 2014
Some bad news for those of you that hate John Cena. Rumors are pointing to him being at the head of the line as the next WWE champion. Cena is expected to win the title at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company wants to put the title back around the waist of their most proven draw. If Cena wins the belt again, potential feuds include Bray Wyatt, Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan.
June 22, 2014
Some new rumors have popped up in regards to Brock Lesnar coming back to WWE. Since Daniel Bryan is still on the shelf, management wants to utilize Lesnar in a higher profile role. That desire might even cause the company to change their mind about who comes out as the new heavyweight champion at Money in the Bank 2014. Initially, the belief was that a heel was going to win the belt and feud with Bryan, but there is a strong chance now that a face will win, so that they can defend against Lesnar.
June 19, 2014
There's some potentially bad news if you're a big fan of Daniel Bryan, as rumors are now surfacing that he might not be healthy enough to make a return at Summerslam 2014 as previously predicted. WWE wants to be very careful with his situation, as something negative could trigger a big storm with the mainstream media. Bryan is featured heavily on Total Divas and is one of the more known stars now in the industry.
June 19, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Daniel Bryan will be returning at Money in the Bank 2014 and being the mystery entrant in the ladder match to determine a new WWE champion. However, those speculations might have simply been fueled by fans who are hoping to see the massively popular Bryan back on television. Those within the company know that his medical condition is nowhere near 100 percent.
June 11, 2014
Rumors are heating up this afternoon that Daniel Bryan will be stripped of the WWE championship tonight. Monday Night Raw is expected to open up with an announcement from the Authority, where it will most likely be Stephanie McMahon and Triple H revealing to the wrestling world that Bryan is not healthy enough to perform, so a new champion will be crowned in the near future.
June 9, 2014
With the company still in limbo as to what to do with Daniel Bryan, rumors are coming out that WWE is thinking about doing two ladder matches at Money in the Bank 2014. The idea is to generate more interest for the pay per view since the world heavyweight champion is not around. The first MITB match would determine the new WWE champion, while the second one would set up the new challenger for the belt.
June 9, 2014
With Daniel Bryan injured, things are a bit hectic backstage in WWE, as he was the centerpiece story line. The situation backstage is made even worse by the fact that the company has seen its stock plummet. It has now gotten to the point where Vince McMahon himself is taking over more control of the creative department than usual. He has been making decisions on how to work around the Bryan injury.
June 8, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Daniel Bryan is going to work Money in the Bank 2014, even if he is not healthy enough to do so. The belief is that the WWE champion does not want to lose his place at the top of the card, as it took quite a bit of effort to get there in the first place. Bryan would not be the first wrestler to jeopardize his health in order to maintain his spot.
June 7, 2014
Some disturbing news is coming out of WWE. Word going around is that Daniel Bryan has been losing strength in his arm. The world heavyweight champion has been trying to rehabilitate after having much needed neck surgery, but things are not progressing as well as WWE had hoped. There is a very good chance that he will be missing more time than initially expected.
June 5, 2014
While WWE was severely disappointed with the fact that the previous episode lost viewers, management is extremely pleased that Total Divas drew in big numbers. The season finale, which featured the much anticipated wedding of Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella, drew in more than 1.5 million viewers. The third season has already been renewed and will make its debut this upcoming fall.
June 3, 2014
Some bad news for WWE this weekend, as it was reported that Daniel Bryan would not be cleared in time for Money in the Bank 2014. The company had been hoping to keep the belt on him, but it now appears that they are leaning towards giving the title to whoever wins the MITB ladder match. Doing this would enable WWE to allow Bryan even further time to recover from his neck injury.
June 3, 2014
On the surface, one of the more puzzling things that WWE has done over the last year is not giving Antonio Cesaro a face turn after his crowd reaction started growing by the week. Rumors have it that management has been hesitant to pull the trigger on that because they want to leave open the possibility of a WWE title feud between Cesaro and Daniel Bryan down the line.
June 2, 2014
A rather unusual thing took place during Payback 2014 last night, as several WWE fans were under the assumption that Stephanie McMahon had an accident with her bladder during his big segment with Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella. However, the presumed wet spot on the backside of her dress was basically caused by the lighting in the arena. Stephanie continued to wear the dress backstage afterwards.
June 2, 2014
During the Payback 2014 pay per view, WWE did a segment where Stephanie McMahon demanded that Daniel Bryan make a decision about the world heavyweight championship. Instead of him giving up the belt that he chased for so long, Brie Bella told Stephanie that she was quitting WWE. Brie then gave a big slap to Stephanie. The belief is that Brie will be given some time off of television.
June 1, 2014
WWE is said to be putting a lot of stock into the upcoming Money in the Bank pay per view, and several names have been discussed to win the highly popular ladder match and a shot at Daniel Bryan and the heavyweight championship. The long awaited push for Antonio Cesaro might begin at the this event, as there are some backstage pushing for him to win the MITB briefcase.
June 1, 2014
It looks like Daniel Bryan has been healing a lot quicker than some expected, as WWE has been advertising his return at live events in June. The world heavyweight champion stated on Monday Night Raw that things were worse than expected, which immediately led many to believe that it was simply a ruse to add a little more suspense to his actual return date.
May 28, 2014
Approximately 300,000 fewer people watched Total Divas this week compared to the previous episode. That has caused a little bit of concern within WWE, as many expected viewership to rise as the series inches closer and closer to the big wedding between Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella. Many expected the popularity of Bryan to help increase interest.
May 28, 2014
Since the company is hoping to build him back up to the main event level, Wade Barrett is expected to successfully retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship in his match against Rob Van Dam at Payback 2014. The former leader of Nexus will more than likely be fed another challenger next month as well. If things go as planned, he could be a future rival for Daniel Bryan.
May 27, 2014
One of the ideas being tossed around backstage in WWE right now is to put the heavyweight title on the line during the Money in the Bank match. Instead of having contestants fighting to see who gets a title shot, the winner would replace the injured Daniel Bryan as champion. Whoever wins could then be built up for a title program against Bryan, should he be able to come back to WWE later on this year.
May 26, 2014
While doing a podcast interview with Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan revealed some interesting details about his name in WWE. He stated that management did not want him to use his real name of Bryan Danielson because they wanted to own the rights to it. Bryan also revealed that William Regal was the one that came up with his current name. Bryan also noted that Buddy Peacock and Lloyd Bonier were also suggested.
May 25, 2014
One of the more recognizable moves in WWE right now is the Daniel Bryan flying headbutt. It has become a big part of his repertoire. After his latest surgery, management is trying to convince Bryan to drop the move, as it has the potential to make his situation even worse than it is now. Some are citing the damage that it caused to Chris Benoit, who used that move routinely.
May 23, 2014
WWE is wrapping up their tour of Europe and the performers will be heading back to the United States. The next episode of Monday Night Raw is taking place in Tennessee, and Daniel Bryan, who recently had neck surgery, is being advertised to make an appearance. This could be a swerve by Stephanie McMahon to further sell the story line between the two.

About Martin & Julie Mansfield
We originally arrived in the Caribbean in 1996 after making a 3 week transatlantic crossing aboard our sailing yacht 'Rainbow Spirit'. This was the beginning of another adventure and after sailing and exploring the Caribbean Islands for 2 years we eventually bought a 2 acre plot of land on the Island of Bequia. Having already committed to a world circumnavigation, we set sail again in 1998, went through the Panama Canal and spent the next three years traveling around the world with our three daughters. Although we visited hundreds of white sand, sun-drenched tropical islands, we found none of them compared to the special beauty and charm of Bequia. We returned in 2001 and finally made a start on building our 'Tropical Hideaway'.
Building in the Caribbean was never going to be easy and after the frustrations of 2 years turning into 3 years and 3 years turning into 4 years we finally finished construction in 2011. Eight years of full time building and a cost overrun of around 300%. The project was huge, far bigger than we ever imagined, but our hard work, frustrations, pain and suffering eventually paid off and we now have a remarkable property often quoted as having 'the finest views on Bequia, from the finest accommodation on Bequia'.
Our daughters have now left to start their own lives and adventures, returning when time and funds allow. Our eldest daughter is now married and lives in New Zealand. Our middle daughter started the first Spa's and treatment centres on Bequia and is now employed by the rich and famous from all over the world. Our youngest daughter is currently working at a safari lodge in a remote part of Zambia and returns to Tropical Hideaway for the December to April season where she offers her spa treatments and therapy work. As you can see, our wanderlust lifestyle has left a lasting impression on our daughters and they are all enjoying an adventurous and exciting life as we have done.
Martin & Julie Mansfield purchased this villa in 1998
Why Martin & Julie Mansfield chose Bequia
Bequia truly is a unique Island. Large enough to be interesting and exciting, yet small enough to retain its local charm and uniqueness that only a small off the beaten track Caribbean Island can offer. It truly is an undiscovered paradise that some well known travel journalists are only just discovering and several well known newspapers and magazines have recently published articles and all describe Bequia as an undiscovered paradise, about to be discovered.
What makes this villa unique
Tropical Hideaway has one of the finest hillside locations on Bequia and coupled with the incredible heated Infinity edge pool, the spectacular panoramic ocean views & the beautiful evening sunsets, you soon realize you are enjoying, what many say, are the finest views on Bequia, from the finest accommodation on Bequia. The views are simply amazing and are forever changing as ships and yachts of all sizes and nationalities pass by on their journeys and adventures. Please visit our comprehensive website, read our latest 5* reviews, browse through our stunning photographs and download our free information guide for visiting Bequia and make your dream a reality.
Guestbook comments from the manager
Tropical Hideaway has to be the best accommodation on Bequia. The individual cottages and penthouse have all been designed, to be private, but to also maximise the breathtaking views over the bay. The stunning infinity pool with swim up bar and stone seats is an ideal location to while away an afternoon. The gardener Marlon keeps the grounds immaculate. The Penthouse exceeded all expectations. Its beautifully designed with quality furnishings. On the ground floor there is a well equipped gym. A spiral staircase leads you up to the large outdoor living area with hammock, swing seats, internet TV, large sofa area, leading out onto a curved private balcony overlooking the infinity pool and the bay. The kitchen has everything you will need. I loved the open, but also private bathroom, which is situated to the side of the living area. There is a large walk in wardrobe, and the biggest bed I've ever slept in. I cant fault anything about Tropical Hideaway, its perfect! The beaches, restaurants and town are a 20 min stroll down the hill. All the information you will ever need about the area, best grocery stores , takeaway menus, taxis etc is all in the welcome pack. You can also order bottles of rum, cases of beer wine etc from Martin and Julie to save you carrying it. If you are looking for a laid back casual island, but with 5 star accommodation then look no further. Im sure the owners have missed a zero off the price, so book now before the realise!!

College football is mostly about two things. Quarterbacks. And the Southeastern Conference.
Nowhere did those two themes intersect better than in the first game of the season -- Texas A&M at South Carolina.
College football moved on from the Johnny Manziel era, leaving his every off-field move and on-field gesture as a concern for the NFL. But he still had the gravitational pull of a black hole in the offseason, pulling every question about Texas A&M into this singularity: How could the Aggies possibly replace Johnny Football and still be relevant?
It was the wrong question.
Give Manziel his due, but the immediate success of Texas A&M in the SEC had less to do with his improvisational skills and more to do with the man in charge of it all -- coach Kevin Sumlin. The question should have been: Have SEC foes figured out how to stop Sumlin?
Lesson No. 1 from the opening weekend of college football: Never doubt Sumlin's scheme.
He created a just-add-water Heisman candidate in sophomore Kenny Hill, who completed 44 of 60 passes for 511 yards, breaking the school single-game passing record of Johnny ... uh, what was that guy's name again?
Hill also threw for three touchdowns as he and the Aggies carved up the No. 9 Gamecocks 52-28.
Now, the opening weekend of the season always comes with a caveat -- avoid drawing too many conclusions based off one game. But the first impression screams that A&M's impressive performance wasn't a fluke.
Hill showed poise in the face of South Carolina's blitz. He is working behind an experienced offensive line, led by the team's next first-round left tackle -- Cedric Ogbuehi. Hill worked fast in the hurry-up offense and got the ball out quickly to an array of talented wideouts, including senior Malcome Kennedy and fab freshmen Ricky Seals-Jones and Speedy Noil. What we're saying is that the first-game numbers are sustainable.
Get used to the Aggies being back in the discussion in the wild SEC West and beyond. Their next four games are against Lamar, Rice, at SMU, and Arkansas. A&M should be 5-0 heading into an Oct. 4 game at Mississippi State, which is most definitely a team you don't want to sleep on.
Until then, just don't call the new quarterback Kenny Football. Perhaps Heis-Ken will do.
Five things we learned in week one
1. This is a corollary to the Kevin Sumlin clause: Never, ever, underestimate a Rich Rodriguez offense. He lost All-American running back Ka'Deem Carey and quarterback B.J. Denker, returning a Pac-12-low 23.6 percent of his offense. In Arizona's first game, a 58-13 win over UNLV, the Wildcats rolled up a school-record 787 total yards, 425 coming off the arm of redshirt freshman Anu Solomon. This Thursday's game at UTSA, which opened with a 27-7 win at Houston, could be better than you think.
2. Oklahoma State's defensive front is not good, it's great. Going against Florida State's best-in-the-nation offensive line, the Cowboys allowed just 106 rushing yards and had five tackles for loss, including two sacks from emerging sophomore star lineman Emmanuel Ogbah. After its close-call loss to No. 1 Florida State, young Oklahoma State has time to build before taking on a back-loaded schedule.
3. UCLA's 2014 potential problem is its 2013 Achilles' heel. Playing without two injured starters on the offensive line, the Bruins scored only one offensive touchdown in a 28-20 win at Virginia. The Cavs overwhelmed UCLA with their blitzes, coming up with 11 tackles for loss, including five sacks. Good news: UCLA might get back center Jake Brendel (knee) and left tackle Simon Goines (ankle) very soon. "I know that there is going to be a lot of concern about our offensive line, and it's warranted at this point," coach Jim Mora said. "Those of us that know we have a good group know that we just need to play better."
4. Senior quarterback Blake Sims got more than a courtesy start at Alabama. Everyone expected Florida State transfer Jacob Coker to win the job, but Sims' four years in the system trumped Coker's three months on campus. Sims was 24-for-33 for 250 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception, in a 33-23 win over West Virginia. It was a respectable effort that should earn encores in the next two games against weaklings Florida Atlantic and Southern Miss.
5. It's going to be a wild ride in 2014. OK, we already knew that. But when the two teams most favored to get to the first title game of the College Football Playoff era -- Florida State and Alabama -- each struggle in openers against unranked opponents ... it's a clear sign that crazy twists and turns, and breathtaking freefalls, await.
Five important returns
1. Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson. Returning from academic exile, Golson looked as good as the new FieldTurf in Notre Dame Stadium, passing for 295 yards and running for 41. He had two long on-the-mark touchdown passes that each traveled about 60 yards in the air. It's in the DNA of coach Brian Kelly to fling the ball all over the yard, and Golson's arm and experience give him a chance to get back to those roots.
2. Texas quarterback David Ash. Last season's concussion problems, followed by a spring foot injury, put Ash on the long road back. If the Longhorns are to have any success in coach Charlie Strong's debut, Ash has to stay healthy and be effective. He was sporadic in a 38-7 win over North Texas, completing 19 of 34 passes for 190 yards, and taking a couple of big hits that had Burnt Orange Nation holding its breath. Honorable mention: Texas linebacker Jordan Hicks, coming off an Achilles injury, made his first career interception. He is the glue guy of the defense.
3. Arizona receiver Austin Hill. The senior, who missed all of last season because of an ACL injury, came back in style with a 92-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown on the first play of the second half against UNLV. He stiff-armed a defender after the catch to gain the separation he needed to race in untouched the rest of the way. Hill leads one of the deepest groups of receivers in the country.
4. Maryland receivers Stefon Diggs/Deon Long. The Terps should have one of the best receiving corps in the conference -- that's now the Big Ten, remember -- led by Diggs and Long, who returned to the starting lineup in a rout of James Madison after rehabbing together from broken legs suffered at midseason last year. Diggs had five catches for 53 yards and returned a kickoff 59 yards. Long made two catches for 48 yards, including a 41-yard score.
5. Alabama offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin. Fired as USC's head coach during last season, Kiffin was back on the sideline, calling plays under the watchful eye of Nick Saban. The Tide gained 538 yards against West Virginia, which is good, but 'Bama can do better. Alabama must stop embracing the "Dinosaur Age" of offense -- Saban's words -- and use more of the fast-paced, no-huddle attack that sparked the Tide late in the second half and helped get quarterback Blake Sims in rhythm.
Five players to watch
1. Georgia running back Todd Gurley. The junior had 198 yards rushing and a 100-yard kickoff return in a win over 12th-ranked Clemson. He'll end the two-year drought of no running back in the first round of the NFL Draft.
2. Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg. The sophomore threw for 454 yards and directed the game-winning drive that ended in a field goal in a 26-24 win over UCF in Dublin. Your No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
3. Michigan receiver Devin Funchess. Now wearing Michigan's famed No. 1 jersey and no longer mislabeled as a tight end, Funchess (6-5, 230) is still a matchup nightmare. He caught seven passes for 95 yards and three scores vs. Appalachian State.
4. BYU quarterback Taysom Hill. He ran for 1,344 yards last season, the question being whether he could improve his 53.9 completion percentage. Well, he was 28-for-36 in the opening win over UConn. This week: At Texas.
5. Oklahoma State all-purpose back Tyreek Hill. It took one game to make the junior college transfer the nation's most exhilarating player. The fastest man in college football posted 278 all-purpose yards, and his value as a decoy made the Cowboys' offense all the more unpredictable.
Five best Week 2 games
1. Michigan State at Oregon, Saturday, 6:30 p.m. ET., FOX. Thanks to its backfield depth, Oregon moved Byron Marshall to an all-purpose role in the opener, and he responded with 89 yards rushing and 138 yards on eight receptions over South Dakota. His versatility is worth watching against the Spartans' stout defense in a game with major College Football Playoff implications.
2. USC at Stanford, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC. Steve Sarkisian's new-to-USC up-tempo offense was an instant success, with the Trojans running a school-record 105 plays en route to 701 yards in a laugher against Fresno State. Stanford yawns. If the Cardinal can handle Oregon's attack, it won't be awed by USC's.
3. Michigan at Notre Dame, Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET., NBC. A night game in South Bend wraps up this historic series until at least 2020 -- probably much longer, given the rhetoric on both sides. Enjoy while you can.
4. Virginia Tech at Ohio State, Saturday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN. The Buckeyes could end up being just fine with redshirt freshman J.T. Barrett at quarterback, although his inexperience and shaky play from the offensive line led to conservative play-calling against Navy. A fast, physical Hokies defense, led by defensive tackle Luther Maddy, cornerback Kendall Fuller and safety Kyshoen Jarrett, will require more creativity from Urban Meyer.
5. East Carolina at South Carolina, Saturday, 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU. The Gamecocks have to show resiliency after the humbling loss to A&M, while the Pirates are looking for big-bowl legitimacy, fueled by the prolific pass-catch combo of Shane Carden and Justin Hardy.

WASHINGTON - District of Columbia police say a Waldorf woman was killed in a fiery crash after the van she was driving collided with a D.C. ambulance.
Police say 31-year-old Christina Latrice King was killed Friday afternoon when her Caravan flipped on its roof and caught fire. Five other people were taken to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.
It happened just before 2 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Southern Avenue and 13th Street SE. Police say King's vehicle struck a car before hitting the ambulance. The ambulance then hit two other cars.
It was not immediately clear if weather conditions may have contributed to the crash.

Our bodies change with age. We may not like it, but at least most changes are gradual. One thing that does not change as we age is our need for physical activity. Physical activity keep us both mentally and physically healthy. But before you head out the door, learn why your risk for injury is higher as you get older.
As we get older, tendons and ligaments lose some of their elasticity. This can lead to reduced range of motion in the joints, making these areas more prone to injuries. And unfortunately, older bodies tend to take a bit longer to recover from injuries.
Aging can also mean a loss in muscle. This loss usually begins in the mid-forties (earlier if you are inactive) and may decline as much as 10% after the age of 50. This muscle loss can certainly mean a decline in physical abilities and make it easier to gain weight. Fortunately, regular exercise can significantly slow this muscle loss. If you do not use your muscles regularly, the tissues become weaker and less compliant.
Although older adults accumulate a variety of injuries, the most common injuries involve
(stretching or tearing of a ligament) and
(stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon) around the shoulders, knees, and ankles. These injuries may only cause minor soreness or stiffness. People often do not recognize soreness as a problem, and they work through the pain. This may lead to more soreness and injury. Other common injuries you may be familiar with are
tennis elbow,
Achilles tendinopathy, and
shin splints.
A few safety steps will help you keep safe while staying strong.
If you want to live a longer, more productive life, you have to exercise most days. You may need to exercise at a lower pace or for shorter periods of time than you did when you were younger. Remember that you may not be able to play hoops to the level of your 30-year-old colleagues, or play as many back-to-back tennis matches as you once could.
Make modifications to your routine and play smart. Before you get started, follow these tips so you can avoid injury:
Older age no longer means less activity. In fact, it means quite the opposite. The more active you are the better your body will age. Play smart, listen to your body, and you will find more abilities than limits.

How to Apply:
Maybe for those of us who are consistent Kielhl's customers, give a a way to offer a brake. Thanks. Richard
I was looking for a true vanilla scented fragrence after having worn Vanille Abricot for many years. Unfortunately, they changed some notes and the vanilla became overbearing. However, with Vanilla & Cedarwood, I found a great blend of two exciting scents which I plan to wear for a while.
I'm happy I found this and I think it's well worth a try.

Movement 1: Allegro maestoso
Movement 2: Andante espressivo
Movement 3: Scherzo: Allegro energico
Movement 4: Intermezzo: Andante molto
Movement 5: Finale: Allegro moderato ma rubato
The first movement of the F minor Sonata has much the same feeling as this funeral march, the same sense of an unfolding drama enacted in a heavy 3/4 tempo which gains its force and character, if not from a single theme, then from a family of related rhythms and thematic shapes that dominate the entire movement. Though the outer form is straightforward, with a more-or-less literal recapitulation of the exposition and clear development and coda sections, the recurrent features give the movement an inexorable sense of growth—from the widely flung gestures of the opening, through the dour march that follows, the lyrical second theme with flowing accompaniment in A flat/D flat major, and even the ethereal reflections marked 'pp dolce' then 'misterioso' that preface the return of the opening.
That ethereal quality anticipates the mood of the 'Andante espressivo' slow movement (though it was composed earlier, as was its abbreviated recall as the fourth movement, marked 'Rückblick'—'Retrospect'). At least the first of these movements is apparently based on a poem, 'Junge Liebe' by C O Sternau, the opening of which Brahms adds at the head of his score, though noting only the poet, not the source.
Der Abend dämmert, das Mondlicht scheint
Da sind zwei Herzen in Liebe vereint
Und halten sich selig umfangen
Twilight falls, the moonlight shines,
Two hearts are united in love,
and keep themselves in bliss enclosed.
Brahms reflects this text in the mirroring of his intimate descending upper melody in the lower voice and by the atmospheric 'ben cantando' passage that follows, with its delicate gently repeated notes and almost unearthly chordal spacings in the upper register. But the mood changes. The passionate intensity to which the middle section grows from its 'extremely soft and sweet' opening in the new key of D flat major certainly suggests more than just an idyllic scene, especially when the repetition of the opening section in the tonic is followed by a seemingly new 'Andante molto', again in D flat and beginning ppp, which effects a huge coda that rises to triumphant intensity, the movement's opening phrase reappearing in the final 'Adagio'. Comparison with the second and third strophes of Sternau's poem seems to confirm the source of this intensity, with its imagery of prolonged affection through a thousand kisses and of enraptured bliss lasting until dawn. (Indeed, a quite separate song by Friedrich Silcher has even been suggested as prompting the opening melodic shape and expressive character of the distinctive final section, a love song at midnight—'steh' ich in finst'rer Mitternacht'.)
The fourth movement 'Andante molto', now in the relative minor key to D flat, B flat minor, recalls the opening idea of the earlier movement as the basis of a funeral march with ominous timpani effects. This in turn has been attributed to a source in another of Sternau's poems, 'Bitte' ('Request'), that Brahms also noted for setting, though he does not identify it in his score; here, in contrast, the poet tells rather of a love grown cold like a withered tree or a barren forest. The title 'Intermezzo' is Brahms's own and perhaps indicates its role in separating the third from the fifth movement (unless, that is, it is retained from an earlier context, a conception apart from the sonata), thus casting the scherzo as the central, rather than penultimate movement of the work.
With this scherzo, back in the tonic, the music now reveals a more uninhibited character than at any preceding point: the marking 'Allegro energico' signifies a sense of huge muscular swing and release of pent-up energy. In total contrast is the trio, again emphasizing D flat major, with its broad, tranquil, almost hymnic melody that steadily expands its range and strength until it can reincorporate the rhythm of the scherzo for its restatement.
The huge musical stature of the young Brahms is nowhere more clearly revealed than in his capacity to create a finale that both crowns and unifies the mighty contrasts that precede it. His chosen form is a rondo, where large contrasts complement the detailed working of ideas—the same principle of the contrast of the scherzo and the trio, yet here taken a step further. Like that of the first movement, the opening is not straightforward, but blends thematic statement with a sense of introduction, here rhythmically tense and anticipatory in character, waiting to explode into action. The first contrasting theme is in F major, and is surely a tribute to Brahms's first great musician friend, met earlier in 1853, the violinist Joachim, being based on his thematic motto F-A-E ('Frei aber Einsam'). The return of the opening takes on something of the ethereal aspects of the earlier movements before the original course is resumed. But this is no symmetrical rondo. The second contrasting theme now dominates what follows. Beginning in D flat major, now clearly established as the secondary tonality to F minor, rather than the more usual relative major key of A flat, a broad cumulative melody—a successor to the trio theme—permeates the recall of the first theme and finally becomes the subject of a two-stage coda, a coda to the work as well as to the movement; the theme even appears as an accompaniment to itself in shorter notes, in a feat of rhythmic excitement in the tonic major that represents the complete antithesis of the struggle with which the work began.

so good
Would be a 5 if it didn't insist on installing Roxio Easy Media Creator every time I started it and force me to cancel about 6 attempts. Bullshit, that.
If you're looking for aacgain for Fedora, I found that the F14 src rpm found by googling aacgain-1.8-1.fc14.src.rpm can be built (rpmbuild) and installed without issues on F20. It appears to work without problems.
Our church has a Sangean DAR-101 digital mp3 recorder for recording services. The mp3's were not loud enough, even with the line-in volume turned up all the way. MP3Gain did exactly what we needed it to do. With no loss in quality, the volume of the mp3's increased. Simply load the files, hit the analyze button, run the gain correction, and then transfer the files to an mp3 player. You can also customize the amount of increase in gain. Perfect!
This program ist awesome. It just does what it is designed for, with excellent quality, ease of use and very good speed. Thanks for this cool thing, Love it <3

An oft-repeated concern in discussing large-scale deployment of Semantic Web ideas is that of 'scale.' With many of the better known data stores upon which the Semantic Web depends capable of storing only tens or at best a few hundreds of millions of RDF triples, it can be difficult to argue that the technology is fit for real-world deployment at scale.

The ballpoint that continues to win hearts (and hands)
One reason our True Writer ballpoint pen has become such a collectible is that we deliver more than we promise. The marvel is that such a fine pen carries such a reasonable price. Its lustrous barrel is even more vibrant than our photography pros can show you.
The True Writer design story
By the end of the last millennium, the ubiquitous disposable pen had just about taken over. Though a few pen companies still catered to serious collectors with elaborate, intricate (and exorbitantly expensive) designs, it had been years since anyone offered a beautifully made everyday pen. Inspired by the Esterbrook Pen Company, which served the writing needs of the general public for almost a hundred years, Levenger set out to inspire contemporary writers with a modern take on the classics. In February, 1999, the very first True Writer was introduced.
Medium weight and diameter make it comfortable for most hands

Nice Writing Instrument
I truly enjoy using this pen. I look forward to years of smooth writing pleasure. Great pen for everyday work and personal use.

Nice pen
I got this pen with the Soul Skin cover for my notebook, and it is turning into one of my favourites. Nice weight, but not too heavy; very smooth writing, and it's pretty. :-)

Wonderful writing instrument!
Being slightly older than my co-workers at Applebee's, I am used to being the 'dinosaur' as far as the gadgets I use to do my job as manager. This pen makes me feel like a more efficient manager just by holding it. Being surrounded by servers, who are notorious pen thieves, I am most careful not to leave it where it can be (shall we say) removed from my possession. I love this pen, and after opening the box, I immediately ordered another pen from your site. Anyone who has used a 39-cent Bic will sing a love song about the True Writer. Sometimes the old ways are just plain better.

I am a pen freak - I have loved pens since I was a little girl and I buy alot. I just bought this one for myself and it's beautiful. The colors, the way it writes and feels in your hand makes it a favorite of mine already.

exceeds expectations
I just received myTrue Writer Kyoto ballpoint pen moments ago, and felt compelled to write this review as quickly as possible, so that I might catch some of you holiday shoppers in time. If a pen is on your gift giving list, and your budget allows you to spend $49.00, you would be hard pressed to equal the Kyoto. The pen is average in weight for its overall size, the chrome trim and clip, are smart and well appointed, and the overall quality appears to be that of a pen retailing for twice that of the Kyotos price. The best feature of the Kyoto, is the magnificent finish on its barrel. There are no words to bring justice to the autumn colors encased beneath a highly polished acetate finish.

If you really want to treat yourself...
My wife thinks I have an obsession for fancy pens and I must admit I have treated myself because I do a lot of writing in my profession and want to be comfortable. Levenger really out did themselves this time with the True Writer pen in the choice of three colors of which I chose the extrodinary beautiful blue. It feels awesome and writes even better. I get more compliments on my pen than I do my clothes and I wear some very nice suits and ties to work. Thanks for the great work Steve on your selection.

Absolutely "worth it all"
I have been trying to make up my mind about purchasing a Levenger True Writer for quite some time, and only recently 'took the plundge' One of my reasons for hestitating was that I could not decide ...which one! I finally got the "Kyoto", and boy/girlfriend... it was worth the wait! It is absolutely beautiful to look at, it feels good in the hand and I know that I shall have great pleasure using it. So... order yours today...
November 18, 2010
Even more beautiful than the picture shows...
I received this ballpoint as a gift (from someone who knew I wanted a Levenger pen but was too stingy to buy one for myself) :) and I'm amazed at how beautiful the Kyoto is. I normally like things best with pink/blue coloration, but this pen has beautiful large flecks of lavender, teal, and sunny yellow, to balance out the orange/brown flecks. I prefer rollerball ink over ballpoint, so I'm going to buy the "roller ballpoint" ink refills, which do fit this ballpoint (Levenger customer service verified this for me), so I'm incredibly happy with this!
March 16, 2009
Color me pink!
I am not a big fan of pink but this pen is absolutely perfect. The marble coloring is gorgeous! I can't believe I found such a lovely pen at such a reasonable price. I have always been a huge fan of Levenger's products and this one does not disappoint at all.
February 20, 2009
Kyoto is just gorgeous
The Kyoto True Writer is absolutely the most beautiful pen in my collection. I love Levenger pens, and their mechanical pencils are just as wonderful. My request to Levenger: Please make a Kyot pencil!

Movement 1: Allegro maestoso
Movement 2: Adagio
Movement 3: Rondo: Allegro
After the orchestral statement of the two principal themes, there are just twenty-two bars of the first movement (Allegro maestoso) in which the pianist's hands are not engaged with the keyboard. Rapid passages in octaves and thirds are grist to the mill, though after a particularly arduous section with fast repeated chords (shades of Schubert's Erlkönig) some respite is offered as the music modulates into the tonic major (with a brief deflection into F sharp major) before a bravura cadenza.
The slow movement (Adagio), the least impressive of the three, offers scant breathing space before the sprightly rondo (Allegro). This has two themes, one in the minor, the other a major-key variant. Like a juggler, Thalberg keeps them both in the air, putting them through any number of transformations until the dashing coda when, just before the final tutti, he presents one final cruel hurdle: four bars of fast independent octaves in each hand (to be played molto staccato) followed by a rush of triplets. The orchestra eagerly takes over rounding off this youthful work in a suitably rousing manner.

WASHINGTON - George Washington University says it inadvertently overstated the percentage of freshmen in the class of 2015 who graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class.
President Steven Knapp told the university community in a statement that GW had reported that 78 percent of students entering in fall 2011 had graduated in their high school's top 10 percent. The correct percentage was 58.
Knapp attributed the mistake to a flaw in the school's reporting methods. He said the university regretted the error and was taking steps to prevent it from happening again.
The academic credentials of incoming classes are one of the variables used by U.S. News & World Report and other publications to rank universities.
The Washington Post ( http://bitly.com/SUkW9q) reported on Knapp's statement in Friday editions.
