Preseason College Football Rankings 2014: Teams That'll Validate Hype in Week 1
Experts think they know which teams will dominate college football on a yearly basis, but nothing is for certain until they actually take the field.
The season is now officially underway, and the bulk of the teams ranked in the Top 25 will have an opportunity to show what they can do on Saturday.
Some ranked teams are bound to lose, but others will definitively prove that they are forces to be reckoned with. Conference titles and bowls can't be won in the first week of the season; however, they can often be lost.
Here are three teams in particular that will validate the preseason hype and get the year started in ideal fashion.
College Football Rankings
Teams to Watch in Week 1
Florida State
On the heels of an undefeated season in which it won the national championship, expectations for Florida State are through the roof. Although the Seminoles did lose some key players to the NFL, there is still a great deal of talent in place for head coach Jimbo Fisher.
Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston tops the list at quarterback, and he will likely be the biggest key to Florida State's success once again in 2014. The Seminoles' first test in terms of establishing themselves as title favorites will come on Saturday night against Oklahoma State.
The Cowboys aren't ranked in the top 25, but they have consistently been among the nation's best teams in recent years, and they aren't to be taken lightly.
Perhaps the biggest challenge for Florida State will be to avoid complacency. Almost every win came easily for the 'Noles last year, as evidenced by this statistic courtesy of ESPN Stats & Info:
Being that dominant probably isn't sustainable over the course of two seasons. Florida State should certainly strive to reach that level, but the players have to understand that there will be some major challenges along the way.
Oklahoma State is an ideal team to start with since it went 10-3 last year but isn't necessarily among the elites in 2014. Florida State will look to make a statement in its first game since winning the national championship, and it will do so by beating the Pokes in fairly convincing fashion.
After shocking Alabama 45-31 in the Sugar Bowl to cap off last season, Oklahoma is very much in the College Football Playoff mix. The Sooners are favored to win the Big 12, and they have the horses on both sides of the ball to vie for a national title.
Few gave Oklahoma a chance to beat the Crimson Tide last season, but quarterback Trevor Knight came of age in that game. In just the fifth start of his career, he passed for 348 yards and four touchdowns against one of the country's most dominant defenses.
Asking Knight to put up those numbers on a weekly basis is a bit too much, but he is looking forward to the challenges that 2014 will present, per Jimmy Burch of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (h/t NCAA.com):
It was fun to play like that and get a big win. But now, the Sugar Bowl is a baseline for us. That's the foundation. You want to build off that and get better every game. ... We're back on top, preseason No. 1 in the Big 12, and that's where we want to be. You come to Oklahoma to play in big games and have those predictions and to live up to them.
Oklahoma's season will begin Saturday with what should amount to a tune-up game against Louisiana Tech. The Sooners can afford to take their opponent lightly, but there isn't much of an upset threat present in this contest.
Sooner fans will essentially look for Knight and the offense to find a rhythm, and for the defense to be stout as it traditionally is. As long as those things happen, there will be plenty of excitement surrounding the Sooners after the opening week.
There is no question that UCLA is among the most intriguing teams in the country this season. The Bruins are coming off a 10-win season, and they are possibly the biggest threat to knock Oregon from its perch atop the Pac-12.
Potential first-round NFL draft pick Brett Hundley is UCLA's biggest weapon. The dual-threat quarterback racked up over 3,800 total yards and 35 touchdowns for the Bruins in 2013. If his steady improvement continues in 2014, he will clearly be among the top Heisman Trophy candidates in the nation.
Along with Hundley, Myles Jack is bound to make life miserable for the opposition. Jack is primarily a linebacker, but he also lined up at running back last season and scored seven touchdowns in the process. No player in the country has as big of an impact on both sides of the ball as Jack does, which makes him a Heisman dark horse in his own right.
The one thing working against UCLA is that it hasn't proved to be a dominant team over multiple seasons. In fact, 2013 marked the Bruins' first double-digit win campaign since 2005. With so little winning experience on the team, Dan Wolken of USA Today views them as a somewhat unprecedented entity:
UCLA will have a chance to prove that it is for real in Week 1 against a tricky Virginia team. The Cavaliers were extremely poor last year in going 2-10, but they have a lot of talent on defense and are bound to improve.
Even so, this figures to be a showcase game for Hundley and the Bruins, and it will establish them as College Football Playoff contenders.

Braxton Miller Injury Update: Latest Comments, Recovery Notes Before OSU v Navy
When Ohio State takes the field Saturday for the first time this season against Navy, it will do so without quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Braxton Miller.
The explosive signal-caller suffered an injury to his throwing shoulder during practice on Aug. 18, and it was determined that he will miss the entire 2014 campaign, according to ESPN.com.
That is obviously a huge blow to the Buckeyes as they enter the season as the No. 5 team in the country with national championship aspirations as well. Those dreams aren't crushed yet, but they will unquestionably be far more difficult to attain.
On the plus side, Miller has since undergone surgery and started his recovery in hopes of getting back to full health for the 2015 slate. Per ESPN Big Ten on Twitter, Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer revealed that the surgery went as expected:
Following the procedure, Miller posted a photo of himself with Dr. James Andrews on his Instagram account and relayed a positive message as well:
"Me & the best to do it , Dr. Andrews after surgery today! So happy this man said everything went well!"
Despite the fact that Miller is on the shelf, he was still voted one of the Buckeyes' team captains for 2014, according to Meyer:
Per ESPN.com's Austin Ward, Meyer plans to use Miller as a captain throughout the season, although he won't be present for the opener at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore against the Midshipmen.
"He'll be one of the 70 (on the travel roster this season) if he can go," Meyer said. "He won't be able to go this time, but there will be times where we'll have to make that decision."
It would be easy for someone in Miller's position to pout and have a woe-is-me attitude, but that seemingly hasn't been the case at all. Miller has said all the right things and even shared an inspirational message on his Twitter account:
Even though a return in 2014 is out of the question, Miller is excited about his future prospects at Ohio State. Since his red shirt is still in play, Miller currently plans to return to the program next season in an attempt to lead the Buckeyes to a title, according to Tim May of The Columbus Dispatch.
I love Ohio State and Buckeye Nation, and my goal is to come back from this injury stronger and better than ever. I am on course to graduate in December and I want to attend graduate school, and then return to lead the Buckeyes next season. ... In the meantime, I want to give all the support I can to my coaches and teammates as they chase a championship this season.
It remains to be seen how quickly Miller will be able to recover from surgery, but he will be afforded plenty of time to do so. Since he has already been shut down for the season, his sole focus can now be on rehabilitation and playing in 2015.
Being without Miller this year is obviously unfortunate for Buckeyes fans, but it gives them something to get excited about for next season. Ohio State's window of opportunity will stay open for an extra year, and it still has a chance to compete for a Big Ten crown in 2014 as well.
With Miller out of the picture for now, red-shirt freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett will take the reins. He has big expectations to live up to, but he is also surrounded by a strong supporting cast.
The pressure of being compared to an elite talent like Miller won't be easy, however, it hasn't been uncommon for red-shirt freshman quarterbacks to make a big splash in recent years.
Miller won't be on the field this season, but he could be a valuable commodity in terms of helping Barrett understand what it means to be Ohio State's quarterback.
Barrett will be on his own this weekend against Navy, though, and it will be interesting to see how he fares in his first career start.

BYU vs. UConn: Game Grades, Analysis for Cougars
Is it too early to start the Taysom Hill Heisman Trophy campaign?
The BYU signal-caller was absolutely surgical in the 35-10 victory over the UConn Huskies on Friday night in East Hartford, Connecticut. Hill threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 97 yards and two touchdowns. It was a career-high five touchdowns in one game for the Idaho native.
There were considerable questions heading into the game for Bronco Mendenhall's team.
The suspensions of Jamaal Williams, Devon Blackmon, Jordan Johnson and Robertson Daniel did not make the long trip to Connecticut easy. Williams is the team's best running back, and the duo of Daniel and Johnson start as the corners in the Cougars' secondary.
However, the combination of Hill and Alge Brown led a dominating rush attack. BYU also relinquished only 282 yards through the air versus the quarterback tandem of Casey Cochran and Chandler Whitmer.
BYU will look to use this game as a launching pad forward with the hopes of playing in a big bowl game.
Final stats from the game can be found here, courtesy of NCAA.com.
Check out our first-half and final game grades for the Cougars. Additional analysis for different position units will also be addressed.
BYU Cougars Game Analysis
Pass Offense: Hill was clicking on all cylinders from the start of the contest. He went a sizzling 17-of-20 in the first half, making decisive throws and smart decisions.
The talented signal-caller finished 28-of-36 for 308 yards and three touchdowns. Although he sputtered a bit in the third quarter, it was patently apparent Hill has improved in his mechanics throwing the football. He certainly looked more comfortable in the pocket as opposed to a year ago. If he continues on this trajectory, he'll be in the hunt for postseason honors.
Run Offense: Unsurprisingly, a large chunk of the rush attack fell on the shoulders (and legs) of the aforementioned quarterback. He led the team with 97 yards on the ground. Alge Brown and Paul Lasike also contributed with a combined 76 yards on the ground.
In the absence of Jamaal Williams, the group rushed for 197 yards on 35 carries. The 5.6 yards per carry average was buoyed by a strong effort of the offensive line.
Pass Defense: Without its two starting corners, BYU did do an admirable job. It only allowed 282 yards through the air on the evening.
There were a few busted coverages, but the unit didn't allow many big plays. If anything, Mendenhall has to be pleased with the possibility of building depth within the unit. This game will give experience to some of the younger members of the secondary.
Run Defense: The BYU defensive front led by Bronson Kaufusi did a very nice job against the beleaguered UConn front. The Cougars held UConn to 72 yards on 32 carries. This equates out to a 2.3 yards per carry average.
BYU did a fantastic job of plugging the holes up front. Gap integrity was sound, as was the tackling of the ball carriers across the board.
Special Teams: The effort was decent for the most part. Mitchell Juergens looked explosive and dangerous as a returner. He gives BYU a nice element in that capacity.
Kicker Trevor Samson missed a chip shot 33-yard field goal in the second half. Punter Scott Arellano looked good with his rugby style punting. He had a long of 51 yards.
Coaching: Mendenhall called a very good first half. The offense looked dynamic, and the defense held UConn to seven points. In the third quarter, the staff got a bit too conservative with the play-calling.
If one considers penalties a sign of coaching, Mendenhall's grade could be significantly lower. BYU was victimized by 15 penalties for an eye-popping 150 yards. There's simply no excuse for this lack of maturity and discipline.
Mendenhall's team did win by 25 points. It'd be difficult to give him a grade worse than a "B."

Syracuse QB Terrel Hunt Ejected from Game vs. Villanova for Throwing Punch
A basketball game between Syracuse and Villanova would theoretically turn more heads than a football game, but Friday night's showdown created a stir nonetheless. Matt Fortuna of ESPN.com indicates Syracuse quarterback Terrel Hunt was ejected after punching an opponent:
Josh Sanchez, an editor at Fansided, captured the play:
Before the ejection, Hunt was 10-of-17 for 94 passing yards and added 25 yards on the ground. The defender that he punched came in from behind as the Orange's quarterback was going down and made contact with his facemask, but the punch was clearly an overreaction.
Simply put, the Orange needed a win in this contest if we look at the rest of their schedule.
This is Syracuse's second season in the ACC, and there are plenty of difficult games on the horizon. In fact, the Orange have to play defending champion Florida State, Notre Dame, Maryland and Clemson, among others, so picking up a victory over Villanova could prove critical in terms of becoming bowl eligible.
Winning would have been much easier with Hunt in the lineup, although he probably wasn't thinking about that in the heat of the moment. He was the Texas Bowl MVP against Minnesota in December and entered the 2014 campaign with plenty of momentum.
Hunt commented on the improvements he hoped to make this year before the game, via Stephen Bailey of Syracuse.com:
I think I played mediocre last year. Some people may say it was successful, some may not. But I think I played mediocre. It wasn't to where I set my goals.
Being able to come in with your head held high, rather than not knowing who the starter is going to be, that's going to make a big difference.
It will be intriguing to see if this punch results in a suspension going forward.
Syracuse plays at Central Michigan and then faces former ACC foe Maryland in the next two games. Hunt could use that time to improve his craft before conference play starts, although it remains to be seen whether he will be on the field.
Stay tuned for updates as they develop.

Jacksonville State Football Player Caleb Lawrence Needs a New Jersey
Jacksonville State football opened their season against No. 8 Michigan State, and it looks like one of their linemen could use a larger jersey.
As Caleb Lawrence entered the game, he had quite a bit of bare midriff that was clearly the result of a jersey that was not the appropriate size.
Judging from his team photo, however, he's OK with this look.

Kliff Kingsbury and Texas Tech Agree on New Contract: Latest Details, Reaction
Texas Tech is keeping head coach Kliff Kingsbury around for the long haul, the school announced:
National college sports writer Bryan Fischer and Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports initially filled fans in on the details:
Kliff Kingsbury led the Red Raiders to an 8-5 record in 2013 and topped it off with an impressive 37-23 victory over Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl. Texas Tech actually got off to a perfect 7-0 start and looked like a serious Big 12 title contender before faltering down the stretch and losing five games in a row.
Included in that stretch was a heartbreaking 38-30 loss to Oklahoma and a blowout 41-16 loss to rival Texas. However, winning the Holiday Bowl helped Texas Tech finish the season on a positive note and likely contributed to the contract extension Kingsbury received.
Kingsbury is only 35 years old and played at Texas Tech as a quarterback. He was drafted 201st overall by the New England Patriots in the 2003 draft but never really caught on as a professional signal-caller.
Still, he is one of the up-and-comers on the college football coaching scene and often receives far more attention than his team does. He has been called a rock star coach, is friends with Tom Brady and has a canning resemblance to actor Ryan Gosling.
He discussed all the attention recently, via Chuck Carlton of The Dallas Morning News: "I'd rather it be about our players. I know a lot of it gets pushed toward me. That's my biggest deal. Our players are the ones playing, working their butts off. Once the wins come, it will fade that way."
Texas Tech made sure to lock up its superstar coach, especially since the school sold out of season tickets for the first time in school history after his debut season.

5 Most Important Flips of the 2015 College Football Recruiting Season
Perspective is an important part of the recruiting process, which take teams through peaks and valleys all the way through national signing day on an annual basis. When an athlete verbally commits to a college program, whether he's a high school senior or eighth-grader, that decision is entirely non-binding for both parties.
Coaching staff changes, philosophical differences and family influence are just a few of the variables that come into play when prospects reconsider where they want to spend the next four or five years of their life. A commitment announcement never closes the door on other possibilities, as other recruiting departments remain in relentless pursuit of players regardless of their pledge to another school.
We've seen plenty of stunning decision reversals over the years and this cycle has supplied more of the dramatic change-of-heart moments we've come to expect on the path to national signing day. Here's a look at five commitment flips that greatly impacted two teams and created a domino effect across the entire 2015 class.
Anthony Jennings Reportedly Will Start LSU's 2014 Season Opener vs. Wisconsin
LSU head coach Les Miles has his man for the Tigers' opening-week showdown with Wisconsin. Jim Kleinpeter of NOLA.com filled fans in on the details:
"LSU sophomore Anthony Jennings will start at quarterback for the Tigers in their season opening game against Wisconsin here Saturday, a source close to LSU told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune."
Jennings won the starting quarterback gig over freshman Brandon Harris in a tightly contested battle during spring practice and fall training camp. Miles actually commented on the signal-caller competition during the SEC coach teleconference, via a separate Kleinpeter report:
It's not something without conception. We understand it. It's (the plan) not something I'm going to reveal. I don't think there's any tremendous magic to it. Both will play.
If a guy separates himself from the other over time we'll certainly give him the nod. He'll be our starter. At this point we'll play two and we're confident in both.
Jennings clearly had the experience edge after playing in nine games last year and starting in the Outback Bowl victory over Iowa. While he only threw for 82 yards and an interception in the bowl game, he did come off the bench to lead a 99-yard, game-winning drive against Arkansas during the regular season.
As for Harris, he impressed during spring practice after enrolling early and actually threw for 195 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 77 yards and one touchdown in the spring game.
Still, Miles gave the nod to the experience before this critical contest against Big Ten contender Wisconsin.
Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports gave his opinion on the quarterback situation and whether LSU will play both competitors:
Of course, just because Jennings is going to start the game, that doesn't mean that Brandon Harris won't see the field. You have to think that if the competition during camp was close enough that it was just decided in the last week that Miles would consider using the four-star recruit should Jennings get off to a rough start.
Jennings will have his work cut out for him against the Badgers, who finished fifth in the nation against the run last year and sixth in scoring defense. However, they lost the majority of their front seven, including superstar linebacker Chris Borland, so there will be some new faces on that end of the field as well.
Jennings will certainly have the pressure on his shoulders considering LSU has College Football Playoff aspirations this season.

Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Florida State Seminoles: Complete Game Preview
The Oklahoma State Cowboys will begin their 2014-15 season with arguably their toughest game of the year, kicking off the schedule with the Florida State Seminoles, who happen to be the defending national champions.
To say the Pokes have a difficult matchup would be an understatement. The Seminoles return a host of talent along with a star-studded recruiting class. Oh, and they just so happen to have the reigning Heisman trophy winner, Jameis Winston.
Can Oklahoma State pull off a monumental upset this week? Or will Florida State roll over a raw, young Pokes squad? Read on to find out.
Arkansas vs. Auburn: How Razorbacks Can Upset the Tigers
When Arkansas and Auburn square off on Saturday, don't be surprised if the Razorbacks walk out of Jordan-Hare Stadium reaping the seeds of victory.
No, that isn't a misprint, nor is it a Skip Bayless-esque prediction of any sort. Instead, it's merely piggybacking onto the point that any team can win on any given Saturday in college football. One only needs to refer to Thursday night when Texas A&M and Rutgers defeated opponents who were favored to win.
Here's how Arkansas can do the unthinkable come Saturday.
Get Out In Front Early
It may be cliché, but against Auburn, it will be vital for the Razorbacks to do just that.
Also playing to their advantage is the fact that the Tigers will be without starting quarterback Nick Marshall and cornerback Jonathon Mincy to begin the game. Both will start the game on the bench due to off-the-field issues but are expected to play later, per The Montgomery Advertiser'sJames Crepea.
With that said, that means Auburn quarterback Jeremy Johnson will be making his first start against an SEC foe. The sophomore does have a start, but that was against an FCS opponent, Western Carolina. This will be a different animal for Johnson. Will he play it safe or take some risks?
If Arkansas can jump out to a quick score against the Tigers, it could help quiet what should be a raucous crowd at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Follow that up with a defensive stop or two, and momentum could quickly start building on the visitor's side.
Once that occurs, there's no telling what could happen.
Run, Hogs, Run
If the Razorbacks want to hang around in this game, they will need to open up strong on the ground.
The rushing attack was something of a bright spot for the team a year ago, as Arkansas accumulated 2,504 yards and 14 touchdowns. The team's marks of 208.7 yards per game and 5.3 yards per carry ranked No. 21 and No. 17 in the nation, respectively.
With another year under their belt, Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams should be a lot more explosive and productive in the backfield. The duo combined to record eight 100-yard rushing performances a year ago; they easily give the Razorbacks one of the best—if not the best—rushing duo in the SEC.
It's no secret that Auburn is lackadaisical when it comes to rush defense. The team conceded 200 rushing yards or more six times last year. Losing Dee Ford and having Carl Lawson sidelined due to injury isn't going to help matters much either.
If Arkansas can get Collins and Williams going early, it can really put the pressure on the Tigers.
Consider this: In the Razorback's three victories last year, the team averaged 294.3 rushing yards per game while finding the end zone six times. Collins and Williams both topped 100 yards on the ground in each of those games.
Win the Battle of Special Teams
Yes, Auburn's standout play from 2013 occurred on special teams. But that doesn't change the fact that the team will have a lot of rebuilding to do.
For starters, the Tigers will need to replace kicker Cody Parkey and punter Steven Clark. In their places, the team will turn to redshirt freshmen in Daniel Carlson and Jimmy Hutchinson, respectively. Not to mention, Chris Davis—the player who gained headlines for returning the missed field goal for a game-winning touchdown against Alabama—has graduated.
With that said, the Tigers could find themselves in a tough bind if the game comes down to a battle of field position or if Carlson is tasked with kicking a game-winning field goal.
On the other hand, Arkansas benefits from having Korliss Marshall returning kicks. The sophomore returned 19 kicks last year for 422 yards. If he can break some big ones, he could give the Razorbacks excellent field position, or even better, immediately put points on the scoreboard.
Overall, even if Arkansas executes its game plan to absolute perfection, it will still be a tall task to top Auburn.
Then again, stranger things have happened in college football. Who last year really saw the Tigers' 2013 coming?

Tennessee Football: 5 Stars Who Will Break Out in 2014
With the Tennessee Volunteers' 2014 season only two days away, the team's biggest playmakers will soon begin to emerge, starting with the team's opening game against the Utah State Aggies.
Although many fans are looking toward the freshmen who enrolled in the winter and spring as the biggest X-factors on the team, some of the most promising stars are those with a year or more of experience under their belts who are poised to take the conference by storm.
For Tennessee to have a successful season and reach a bowl game, it not only needs its freshman class to grow up in a hurry, but it also needs its established stars to become truly dominant at their positions.
Here are five players on the Tennessee roster who have the best chances of becoming breakout stars in 2014.
4 Bold Predictions for Wisconsin's 2014 Season
With the college football season beginning in earnest on Thursday, now seems like as good a time as any to make bold predictions for Wisconsin's upcoming season.
Questions abound at quarterback with the incumbent Joel Stave being replaced—at least for the first snap of the season, according to Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel—by Tanner McEvoy, at receiver with how to replace one of the best in team history in Jared Abbrederis and at linebacker with how to replace one of the best defensive players in history in Chris Borland.
Let's take a look at this year's team and make a handful of bold predictions.
Considerable Increase in Team's Interception Total
Last season, the Badgers had nine interceptions. Of those, four came from true freshman Sojourn Shelton. The Badgers return virtually their whole secondary, and freshman Lubern Figaro looks to be an impact player immediately.
Shelton, Darius Hillary and Devin Gaulden provide a formidable trio along with freshman Derrick Tindal, all of whom have shown an ability to force turnovers.
Replacing Dezmen Southward, a third-round pick who was inconsistent at best while wearing cardinal and white, is Figaro. He should form a terrific tandem at safety alongside Michael Caputo.
Furthermore, while Borland was excellent at diagnosing plays, his coverage skills were not the best.
While I am hardly saying Derek Landisch and Michael Trotter will be better than the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, they could still intercept more passes than Borland did—he didn't record an interception in his junior or senior season.
To put a number on it, I'm going to guess the Badgers will pick off 15 passes this season. With more aggressiveness in their front seven, putting more pressure on the quarterback will lead to more interceptions on the back end.
Melvin Gordon Will Be Invited to New York
He won't win the Heisman Trophy, though. A big game against LSU on Saturday would do a lot to raise his already-high national profile.
One has to go all the way back to 2009 to find a running back who won the Heisman (Mark Ingram), with the last four winners being quarterbacks.
In a year when guys like Marcus Mariota and Brett Hundley chose to return along with defending Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston, it will be tough for any running back to break through here. Throw in Georgia's Todd Gurley, and Gordon has a ton of competition for the Heisman.
Even if Walter Football considers Gurley the better pro prospect, I think Gordon has a great chance to grab the most votes of any running back and get a trip to New York.
However, I don't think he will be the third Wisconsin running back—Ron Dayne and Alan Ameche the others—to take home the trophy.
Joel Stave Will Start Multiple Games
This is not an indictment of McEvoy, as I think the coaching staff will give him every chance to succeed.
With that being said, Stave has been very good throughout his collegiate career, though he has been a bit inconsistent at times.
Stave has a bigger arm than McEvoy, and while there were plenty of times when Abbrederis got behind the defense only to have to come back to the ball to catch it, Stave was still able to push the ball down the field on play-action passes time and again.
If McEvoy comes out strongly against LSU, with the coaching staff's seemingly strong preference to play a mobile quarterback—a look through whom they have been recruiting gives a good clue—maybe Stave won't get a chance.
Either way, these are bold predictions. Even without an injury, I still see Stave taking the opening snap of multiple games this season.
At Least 2 Players with 40-Plus Receptions
One needs to go all the way back to 2011 to find a Badgers team that had a pair of guys with more than 40 receptions. This year, with Abbrederis gone, multiple receivers will need to fill the massive void left by his absence.
Three names to watch are tight end Sam Arneson and receivers Jordan Fredrick and Kenzel Doe.
Arneson has gobbled up touchdowns in his limited reps, snaring four on 10 career receptions, and should be a good red-zone threat for the Badgers.
For the receivers, with eight traveling to Houston, it will be interesting to see whether anyone can really separate themselves enough to make four or five receptions a game. If anyone is able to, it will probably be Fredrick or Doe.
Doe has been inconsistent as a receiver but looked really strong throughout both the spring and fall camps. He will be the No. 1 guy when the Badgers line up on Saturday.
As for Fredrick, who stands 6'4" and 214 pounds, he will get a lot of looks in the slot and his blocking ability will keep him on the field.
If I were to pick two guys from this group to reach or surpass the 40-catch mark, I'd go with Arneson and Fredrick. Depending on how things shake out in the early going, however, we could see as many as six or seven players with 10-plus receptions by the end of the season.

Josh Shaw Investigation: Updates, Details on Injured USC CB
Suspended USC football star Josh Shaw has been coy about the events that led to him jumping out of a second-story balcony, leading to two sprained ankles. The latest update isn't going to make the backlash go away anytime soon.
According to Gary Holland and Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times, Shaw and his girlfriend are being investigated to determine whether they "were involved in a domestic-violence incident."
Capt. John McMahon, head of Central Division patrol, said Friday that Shaw, citing his attorney's advice, has refused to be interviewed about the case.
"We would have like to hear from Mr. Shaw to provide some clarity about the situation, but that is not going to happen," said McMahon. "In light of that, our investigation into a possible domestic dispute will continue."
Donald Etra, Shaw's attorney, is quoted in the report as saying that his client talked "to the LAPD twice. We believe that is enough. The matter is over and there is no need to talk to them further. ... Enough is enough."
McMahon also said that Shaw's girlfriend has spoken to the police and "'did not indicate she was a victim of domestic violence."
Police officer Sara Faden describes in the piece that cops went to a third-floor apartment in downtown Los Angeles on August 23 "after receiving a report of a woman screaming" and officers had to break open the door after no one answered the initial knocks but didn't find anyone inside.
Faden did say that the officers saw "the window had been pried open," and that witnesses said they saw "a man with dreadlocks climbing from the third-floor balcony of the apartment. The woman who resides in the unit then arrived on the scene."
This story comes out days after Shaw was suspended indefinitely from the USC football team after admitting that he lied to the school about the way he suffered the injury.
The original story Shaw told, via Kyle Bonagura of ESPN.com, was that he jumped off a second-story balcony and into a pool to save his nephew from drowning. That tale of heroism garnered national attention, including on social media and morning talk shows.
However, according to Meghan Keneally of ABCNews.com, Shaw's story first started to come apart shortly after his tale of heroism gained steam because "a man named Josh Shaw matching the football player's description was listed in a police report stemming from a disturbance call."
Shaw's future on the field has never looked less clear, but right now that's the least of his concerns. He's gone from being viewed like a hero and role model to an outcast and pariah in the span of a few days because of this huge lie he concocted.
It's important to note that this is just an investigation at this point. No one has been charged with anything, nor has anyone been arrested.

Darian Roseboro to Michigan: Wolverines Land 4-Star DE Prospect
Given the importance of pass-rushing in today's football world, the news of 4-star defensive end Darian Roseboro committing to Michigan has huge ramifications for the 2015 recruiting class.
247Sports' Steve Lorenz first broke the news about Roseboro's decision:
As Wolverine247 predicted and many believed, Michigan has secured the commitment of four-star defensive end Darian Roseboro, beating out home-state N.C. State and North Carolina among others for his pledge.
Roseboro, the nation's No. 7 strong-side defensive end recruit and No. 109 prospect overall based on 247Sports' composite ratings, has turned into a pass-rushing monster at Lincolnton High School in North Carolina over the last three years.
According to 247Sports, Roseboro had more than 30 offers from top programs across the country and was seriously considering six in early August. On that list was Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, North Carolina State, North Carolina and Tennessee.
He said on Twitter, via Pack Pride, that those were his final six schools and the decision would come at the end of August:
As a freshman, Roseboro was already a beast with 107 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and seven sacks. Those are scary numbers for a quality high school senior, let alone a player in his first season at that level.
Yet when you look at the constant evolution for Roseboro, it's easy to see why power schools like Alabama, Michigan and Clemson were all after him. His performance continued to improve with 107 tackles, 30 tackles for loss and eight sacks in 2012 to go along with four forced fumbles. He followed that up by posting 125 tackles, 21 tackles for loss and 11 sacks as a junior.
Every school across the country needs help rushing the quarterback. Since defensive backs are all but forbidden from touching wide receivers, having a player who can get in the backfield is paramount to success on defense.
Roseboro brings a ferocious, attacking style and insane athleticism at 6'4", 285 pounds with a 4.64 40-yard time to the next level. The scary thing is, he will only get better with more seasoning and higher-level coaching.

LSU Professor Asks Students to Clean Up Les Miles Quotes for Homework
Some coaches may talk a lot but never provide much useful information. One LSU professor has decided that students can learn how to be clear and concise by translating Tigers coach Les Miles' quotes.
For homework, the instructor asked the students to read through some of Miles' statements and clean them up a bit. The students were asked to translate "coach talk" to concise—and grammatically correct—sentences.
Hopefully the professor will hand over the papers to Miles and let him read through them so he can learn how to get to the point quickly in the future.

UCF Unveils Irish-Themed Helmets for Season Opener in Ireland
Central Florida is doing its best to win over fans in Ireland for its season opener against Penn State.
The Knights and the Nittany Lions will square off in the 2014 Croke Park Classic in Dublin this weekend, and to get in the spirit of the game, UCF has made a slight tweak to its helmet. To commemorate the special game, two Irish clovers and a pot of gold have been added to the Knights' helmets.
Playing in Ireland is a unique situation for both teams, and this was a cool way for UCF to pay tribute to the country.

College Football Week 1: Previews and Predictions for the Top 5 Games
It's the most wonderful time of the year! College football is back in full swing with a full slate of games that will have national significance.
Kenny Hill and Texas A&M went into Columbia, S.C., on Thursday evening and blew out the Ol' Ball Coach's Gamecocks 52-28. While that was viewed as a big upset already for Week 1, this weekend could be presented with upsets that have significance on the new College Football Playoff.
Clemson and Georgia, as well as LSU and Wisconsin, are all teams that could be playing in the six major bowl games at the end of the season.
With that said and a lot to look forward to this weekend, here are the top five games to watch.
Power Ranking Top 10 Alabama Crimson Tide Players Heading into 2014 Season
Backed by talent all over the roster, the Alabama Crimson Tide once again will be challenging for a national title in 2014.
After winning three of four BCS titles, the Tide saw their run come to a heartwrenching end last season. But while the rest of college football fans bask in the end of a dynasty, head coach Nick Saban and Co. seem poised to begin Act 2.
These are the top 10 players who should prove the most beneficial to Alabama in its pursuit for championship No. 16.
Each player was given a ranking based on several factors. Among the factors used were each player's career stats, experience on the team and awards/recognitions earned.

Rabbi Arthur Schneier Park East Day School Reviews
Extremely negative experience for our family at this school
My kids were new at the school, had come from gifted and talented programs in public school.
Halfway through the school year the principal told me both of my children had "maxed out on their intelligence". She said they could not cope in school based on their intelligence alone. She said they were failing in the school, they were not being educated and she gave me an ultimatum - either my children get a neuropsych evaluation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropsychological_evaluation) or the school would not renew our contract again next year.
I met with their experienced teachers from their Gifted and Talented programs as well as the principal from their nursery school who were all shocked at what had been said, saying they saw no indication of the allegations with either child and disagreed with the opinions given.
We decided to take our children immediately out of Park East and put them back into their previous G&T programs where they continue to flourish.

FIBE is the name of a secret beverage – non-alcoholic, of course – that 12-year-olds Isabella and Fiona concocted.They made up its name by combining the first two letters of "Fiona" and "Bella." The girls met each other as 4-year-olds attending the Lowe's YMCA preschool program and became BFFs (best friends forever). Their 21st-century friendship has evolved into a modern version of old-fashioned pen pals. It embodies how, although technology has changed, friendship has not.Isabella Malick of Mooresville performs with a band called the Glass Hammers, which she and her two sisters formed two years ago. The band entertained crowds at the July 3 YMCA event and on July 4 at Birkdale in Huntersville.Fiona Lavery, who now lives in Rockland, N.Y., traveled alone by plane for the first time to cheer and give support to her friend.Fiona and her family moved from Mooresville after she finished second grade. She is the granddaughter of Esther and Ben Lavery of Mooresville. Over the past five years, technology has kept the friendship alive between Isabella and her. "When she first moved, we wrote letters to each other," Isabella said, "but then we got phones and iPads.""Now we just Facetime and text each other," Fiona added."I still have the notes and letters we wrote when she first moved," Isabella said."I'm pretty sure I do, too," Fiona chimed in. "Now we mostly 'Snapchat.' It's like where you take a picture with a message and send it to each other. It disappears, like, after 10 seconds," Isabella explained. Do they ever talk to each other on a landline? "No, not really. When you Facetime, you're talking, so … ," Fiona said."Before we had phones, we did talk on the telephone, but now it's very rare that we ever talk on a landline," said Isabella.What does Fiona miss the most about Mooresville? "I miss seeing them everyday. I used to walk to their house," Fiona said. "I miss the lake a lot, too." Isabella said, "We give each other gifts when we see each other – even when it's not a holiday." "Because we love each other," Fiona said. When they are in Mooresville together, they like to go to Bella Pottery, play golf at the Mooresville municipal golf course, go to the movies or Carowinds, and go tubing on the lake. They love the cupcakes at SweetCakes in Cornelius and eat Nutella crepes together at La Patisserie. They've attended Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift concerts together. "We got to go in the pit, because we're cool," Fiona said. It's probably irrelevant that no one had showed up to sit there, so the usher said they could move up.Inventing summer beverages, dreaming of their future: Both want to go to college together in Oxford, England, and become the next president and vice president of the United States.Then they will marry Italian men and live in Paris, which is why Fiona is learning Italian and Isabella is learning French. They call themselves Quote Masters. "Even though we're miles apart, we're definitely sisters close at heart." Isabella recited. Fiona said, "Good friends are like stars: You don't always see them, but they're always there."On July 3, Fiona was there for Isabella, live and in person, not on Facetime.

Diamondback Energy, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2013 Financial And Operating Results
MIDLAND, Texas, Nov. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diamondback Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq:FANG) ("Diamondback" or the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.
During the third quarter of 2013, net income was $14.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. Net income for the third quarter includes a non-cash loss on commodity derivatives of $1.7 million ($1.0 million net of tax), or $0.02 per diluted share. Without the impact of this item, net income for the third quarter of 2013 would have been $15.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share.
- The Company's first horizontal Middle Spraberry test well, the Sarah Ann 3814H, a non-operated well in Midland County, had a peak 24 hour initial production ("IP") rate of 733 Boe/d (90% oil) on electric submersible pump. The well was completed with a 16 stage 5,041' lateral. Early oil production rates are comparable to Wolfcamp B rates. This Middle Spraberry test defines a new horizontal bench that has meaningfully increased the Company's identified potential horizontal drilling Spraberry locations to 360 gross (276 net) from 181 gross (139 net).
- The ST S 501H well in Midland County, with a 36 stage 8,926' lateral, achieved a peak naturally flowing 24 hour IP rate of 1,033 Boe/d (90% oil). This well has flowed for 38 days, which is encouraging since the natural flowback period is longer than any horizontal well Diamondback has completed to date. Diamondback typically experiences a significant increase in IP rates from artificial lift.
- The ST NW 3602H well in Midland County, with a 21 stage 5,020' lateral, achieved a peak 24 hour IP rate of 1,069 Boe/d (94% oil). This well is currently on gas lift.
- The ST NW 3603H well in Midland County, with a 21 stage 5,105' lateral, achieved a peak 24 hour IP rate of 934 Boe/d (89% oil). This well is currently on gas lift.
- The ST 4105H and ST 4106H wells, drilled from the Company's first two well pad, were completed with a total drilling and completion cost for both wells in the range of $10.5 million to $11.0 million. These wells were completed using the "zipper" frac technique with no operational issues. The ST 4105H well was completed with a 5,041' lateral length and 22 stages while the ST 4106H well was completed with a 4,801' lateral length and 21 stages. Flowback operations on both wells are underway.
- Continued progress lowering lease operating expense ("LOE") by 21% to $7.27/Boe during the third quarter of 2013 from $9.16/Boe in the second quarter of 2013 (after giving effect to the reclassification described in notes (a) and (b) in the guidance table below).
- EBITDA (as defined below) was $47.7 million.

Wayfarers can explore the Kenyan capital for the day or rest up on the hotel's antique four-poster beds. The next morning, the group journeys to the northern plains of Samburu National Reserve for two days in pursuit of elephants, beisa oryx, zebras, and giraffes, grazing against a stunning backdrop of Mount Kenya. After the sun dips below the Rift Valley horizon, tuckered travelers doze off within their luxe tents at Ashnil Samburu camp as the calls of distant animals carry through the night.The following day and a half is spent trekking through Lake Nakuru National Park, with a trip to the shores of the eponymous watering hole, aflutter with millions of pink flamingos on vacation from America's lawns and the occasional rhino trotting along the shore. The cozy, chalet-style rooms at the Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge ensure a good night's sleep, and sunrise on the private patios overlooking Lake Nakuru ushers in an adventure-filled day. The expedition culminates at the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of Kenya's premiere wildlife sanctuaries, punctuated by undulating hills and an abundance of fauna, including more than 53 bird-of-prey species. Elephants lumber about as gazelles dart spritely through the grasslands. Safari-goers may glimpse lions, leopards, and cheetahs stalking prey, or snap photos of hippos sparring in the Mara River. Come nightfall, the well-appointed tents at the Ashnil Mara camp beckon.

Did you right click (or mac equivalent) and save as? Make sure it is not being saved as a .txt / text document (although I don't think that is even a mac thing - I dunno how it works) and then follow those instructions:
Go to the website:
Download the folder at the bottom called "All Coptic Fonts"
Once it is downloaded, unzip the folder, and Select All (Command + A)
Open "Font Book" --> you can find it in Spot Light in the Top Right Corner.
Then just drag all the fonts from the Coptic Folder into Font book, that should work :)
Hope I helped, Pray for me.
If you are using Google Chrome, I have no clue why it does it like that. I have the same problem, and still trying to figure it out.
I noticed that even when we type in Word, it does the same thing. If someone knows how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm glad I helped a bit.
Pray for me.
i followed yr advice, and can now write in coptic! :)
i am seeing if it works to write it and paste it from word for mac here:
[coptic]Doxa Patri ke Uiw ke agiw Pneumati[/coptic]
also how do u write kiahk in coptic?
so far i am only copying stuff, i don't actually know many words!
also how do i get a program to write in arabic on the mac? the old pc i had had arabic symbols included, it was tedious writing it letter by letter, but i don't use it much so it worked for me.
[quote author=jydeacon link=topic=9691.msg124336#msg124336 date=1292100761]
If that is the correct spelling of kiahk, can somebody explain where the 'h' sound came in the pronunciation? is it a mispronunciation?
I understand that OI make the E sound like in the word metanoia= metania but i don't see how the 'h' sound came in the picture. Thanks in advance.
Please pray for me to overcome my weakness.
thanks jydeacon
joyfulinHim, i don't know, it's all greek to me!
DEar joyfulinHim,
The "h" sound found in many Coptic words especially at the beginning pronounced and not written is very common as /hereeni/, /hera'y/ a saint's name, and /dek.ha/, pretty much like the slight 'r' sound that connects two vowels in two successive words in British English... can't think of an American English example now...
Sorry I'll edit this post later from the computer to provide Coptic spelling for the above words...
DEar GODlovesme,
I haven't studied GReek but from what you're saying I can insinuate that this is a common characteristic in the two languages... yes Coptic has an "h" sound but sometimes it's pronounced not written as in examples I gave above, and another one I also forgot to mention is /batlaham/ and absolutely not /veethle'eem/!!!
My source is simply the hymn '[coptic][/coptic]pouro... second please explain to me again how you pronounce the word iryny again as i[coptic][/coptic]t seems you pronounce it different to me because of your knowledge of Greek. Explain how you'd pronounce each syllable giving me examples even from English please. Thanks a lot
Thanks GODlovesme,
By your knowledge of Greek you keep proving things to me that I'm looking for proofs for. In fact pronouncing the word as you referred /eereenee/ is a Greco-Bohairic fallacy while the letter hada, eita in Greek in Coptic is pronounced as /ai/ slightly lighter than /ei/ in Greek. How many people know that? not many I can assure you and again because Copts take things for granted without proper and ample research. Thanks again GODlovesme, I'm just sorry for you now for digging this hole for yourself and giving me the chance to keep giving you headaches by bombarding you with questions from now on... hehe
Thanks GODlovesme... just a word of warning which I hope won't put you off as it may do other easy-learners try to learn proper Coptic rather than the flawed Greco-Bohairic... that's to say learn from Fr. Shenouda's books...
I'll have to get back to you hopefully tomorrow on these two last questions as I'm not sure of the answer and I need to log in through the computer. As for the language/dialect we use in the church, we use Bohairic not Greco-Bohairic. The former was used by one of the popes opted to use it to unite all the churches (even though many manuscripts are found in Sa'idic and hymns including yestermagi, dowda bandais, etc), but through a flawed teaching Greco-bohairic found its way in the 19th century which is a wrong dialect which messed up both Coptic and Greek pronunciations. So proper Coptic is Bohairic as opposed to Greco-Bohairic according to the teachings of Fr. Shenouda and other Coptologists from all over the world...
Sorry editing from the mobile can sometimes be a pain, and gets me so mixed up.
This I should have said before: one of the Coptic popes introduced Bohairic as the dialect for church services in the 10th century. Even though there was an abundance of Sa'idic manuscripts, and hymns, ... etc.
The flawed Greco-Bohairic dialect (the ever-changing since its invention) was introduced in the 19th century by Mr. Erian Moftah at the time of Pope Cyril (the IV I think).
I will look up for the two questions later (hopefully today)...
oujai qen `P[C (no Coptic button yet)
Dear GODlovesme,
This is the answer for your first question:
As for the second question:
Skimming through the book on google books, it appears to me that Mr. Younan is a proponent of the flawed Greco-Bohairic, but the book nonetheless is a very good read (but I can't judge personally, as I only skimmed through). I for one would not read it, or recommend it because of the fact Greco-Bohairic is a flawed dialect, but that mainly concerns pronunciation, and not grammatical syntax for example, which APPEARS to be well explained. My motto "appraising the quality is important", and for me the book lost credibility even if only superficially by being as such.
God bless you and please don't forget to mention us in your prayers.
I am also having a problem...If I copy and paste any of the text the hymns lyrics library. The copy is always missing the top of the tall letter (capitals and such) and all the jinkims. Help please.
Hey Everyone, Peace and grace :)
I would want to download Arabic fonts for my windows XP, I have tried to download some but they couldn't work, and i still see all Arabic written words The other way around.
If you have any suggestions, kindly reply.
God bless you all.

Cholera Deaths Up in Haiti, With Worst to Come
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 11-16-2010 - 10:47am
The death toll in Haiti's cholera epidemic has reached more than 900, the government reported Sunday, as aid groups rushed soap and clean water to a disaster-wracked population to fight the disease.
The Ministry of Health reported that as of Friday, there had been 917 deaths and more than 14,600 were hospitalized with cholera-like symptoms. That is up from the 724 deaths and 11,125 hospitalizations reported a few days before.
The disease has been found in 6 of Haiti's 10 provinces, known as departments, and is most severe where it originated, in Artibonite, which accounts for nearly two-thirds of the deaths.
Several epidemiologists have said the disease has not peaked and will likely worsen and break out in other regions of the country, with United Nations health officials estimating about 270,000 may be sickened in the coming years. Several new cholera treatment centers are springing up in the capital and other areas.
"The trend is increasing and it is propagating from department to department," Roc Magloire, the Ministry of Health's epidemiologist, said in a telephone interview on Sunday. He referred questions to the ministry's director general, Gabriel Timothee, who could not be reached.
Hospitals in Port-au-Prince, where more than one million earthquake refugees live in congested, squalid tent encampments, are overflowing with patients exhibiting cholera symptoms, and the death toll there has reached 27. The disease was first reported in the capital on Nov. 8.
President René Préval, at a conference on the disease on Sunday in Port-au-Prince, urged people to wash their hands frequently and drink only potable water, The Associated Press reported. But even before the earthquake, most of the population lacked access to clean water and sanitation.
Cholera, a bacteria that thrives in feces-contaminated water, causes severe diarrhea and vomiting that can dehydrate and kill its victims in hours without treatment. The rate of severe cases, about 30 to 40 percent, is far higher in Haiti than the 25 percent in a typical outbreak because of extreme poverty, unsanitary conditions and the fact that cholera has not been there for 40 years.
"When we go around and give advice about hygiene, they say, 'Let me have soap, I can't afford it,'
|Tue, 11-16-2010 - 1:25pm
I thought more would be done to relieve the suffering, in Haiti, after the earthquake. Like many disasters they're headlined for a relatively short period then one hears nothing of the progress, if any. Now cholera. It's heatbreaking.

A Haitian woman said that their government was doing nothing to help the people.

Prana Film
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|It has been suggested that this article be merged with Nosferatu. (Discuss) Proposed since March 2012.
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009)
Prana Film was a short-lived silent-era German film studio. Its intent was to produce occult and supernatural themed films. Its only film, 1922's Nosferatu, was its end: it declared bankruptcy in order to dodge copyright infringement suits from Bram Stoker's widow. The company is named for the Buddhist concept of prana.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
Kudos to you, OP... for getting so many screenshots.
I think The Last of Us is one of the best graphics games (on console) in the market. I must say that is the best-looking bunny ever in that beginning of Winter-cutscene.
Some superb shots there. Man I would hate to be an Xbox only user looking at this thread. I think i'd explode.
I do own a 360 (with 114 games) as well as my ps3 and TLOU is by far the most visually impressive game i've come accross. So many 'stop and stare' moments.
I think you should get a screenshot of the sun going through the branches in front of you when riding the horse to the ranch. Just a suggestion

" Brand: Nivea / Texture: Cream / Type: Moisture Cream / Subcategory: Face Cream / Suitable for: Face / What it does: Moisturizes, Protects "
This was bought for me after my usual 'Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturising Creme' had run out. At first it didn't seem all that different apart from looking slightly more expensive as it came in its own box, the tube was matt and had a different smoother feel to it. However when applied it does feel a whole lot lighter on the skin whereas my usual moisture can - before it has had time to soak in - make the skin feel slightly 'caked'. This was refreshing and because of its lightness took less time to soak in! I use the moisturizer twice a day, everyday and I have no complaints with it. It leaves my skin feeling really soft and its ideal especially in the summer when you don't really need to use too much moisturizer and I tend to switch to using my Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturising Creme in the winter when I do. You can buy this product from superdrug online for £4.09 and Nivea Soft Intensive Moisturising Creme for £1.79
I usually use Nivea Visage Rich Moisturiser in the colder months when my skin needs a little bit of extra help, and Nivea Visage Light Moisturiser during the summer. I recently ran out of the Rich version, so have reverted to using Nivea Visage Light until I get round to buying some more.
This comes in a plain white tube with a screw top lid and blue writing on the front. The tube is nothing spectacular, but for the price I don't think you'd necessarily expect it to be.
~Using it~
The cream is white in colour, and has a gentle but pleasant smell. The tube recommends applying in small circular movements, working from the neck upwards, which is how I apply it anyway. I find that it absorbs into the skin easily and a small amount covers a fairly large area.
When you first apply the cream, it does feel slightly greasy and the skin has an annoying 'tacky' feel to it for a few minutes. Given this, I normally apply my moisturiser and then do my hair or something before applying make-up.
I would say it takes around 5 or 10 minutes for the tacky feeling to fade, and when it does, my skin is left with a supple, moisturised - but not sticky- feeling. My skin feels moisturised all day and there is no need to re-apply this. It also clears up dry patches of skin, but is not as good as the rich version for this. As it is light it doesn't give your skin a heavy feeling that some others can, like the Nivea cream you get in the blue tub, for example.
As I mentioned, I mostly use this during the summer, but unfortunately it does not contain SPF, so this would have to be used separately.
This costs £3.99 for a 50ml tube from Boots.
This was yet another one of my freebies from the Race for Life way back in May.
- Price and Packaging -
Available from Boots, Superdrug and many supermarkets such as Tesco:
50ml tube
Boots ~ £3.49
Tesco ~ £3.18
The 50ml comes in a tube with a screw top lid that sits on the lid. It has to be said that Im not overly keen on tubes as opposed to tubs as it does allow for a teeny tiny bit of waste!
- What do Nivea say about this product -
~ daily moisturising cream
~ supports the natural moisture balance of normal and combination skin
~ smoothes and protects all day long
~ easily absorbed
~ encourages fresh, supple skin
~ contains vitamins and jojoba oil which hydrates your skin
~provides UVA/UVB protection
- My experience -
* Appearance
This is a white cream which is pleasantly rich and creamy. It certainly isnt as thin as some of the other Nivea products I have used.
* The smell
The cream has quite a strong perfumed scent to it.
* Application
My skin is slightly dry at the moment having been in a little bit of sun a few weeks ago and not being very good at ensuring my skin is well moisturised. I do it when I have the time!
The cream is very easy to apply, simply use it after cleansing.
It absorbed very quickly in to my face, initially giving my skin an instant moisture boost. However this didnt last long at all. About five minutes after using the cream my skin felt just as dry as it had prior to application and if anything a little drier, a tight skin feeling effect and it has to be said a little tingly in certain areas, for example, under my nose.
- My Verdict -
Once again I am disappointed with a Nivea Visage product.
This does give some moisture to my skin but I just dont like the way in which it actually makes my face feel a little tighter after a few minutes.
Im just glad that I didnt buy the tube and had the opportunity to make use of the trial sachet before parting with any money.
Needless to say, I will not be buying this product. I could imagine that it may be good for those who suffer from oily skin, however it does state that is for normal and combination skins.
- Nivea Products -
Nivea produce a huge range of products in different ranges:
* Lip care
* Face care
* Sun care
* Body care
* Hand care
* Bath care
* Deodorants

This is something that happened about a year ago. I have my husband's word that everything is true, to his best interpretation.
We'd been arguing. This happened more than I would like to admit when the twins were first born. I have a self-destructive side that emerges when I feel threatened. I remember thinking that he was being really mean and that I didn't…Continue

"very informative"
you would have to be an idiot to not see the truths in this book. The liberals are scared of this man for good reason, he tells the truth. All of the facts in this book are backed with actual data not make believe data like other media outlets spew.
"loved the book the lecture was very outdated"
I absolutely loved the book and the reader. It is an acurate and solemn look into the past. I however was suprised that the last chapter was so outdated. We have a black president. I am glad these times of oppression are past. It is time to move on past the sins of others, and enjoy the current times.
It is so sad that this last chapter was not removed as it spoils the entire feeling of the book.
"slow but interesting"
good story line, but could have been done in about 1/4 the time. Half way through the second part it got interesting. Had the narrator not been so good I would have never listened to the whole book. Great short story , terribly long unabridged novel.
Figured out the ending 6 hours into the 21 hour novel.......I really wanted to listen to part two, but it will have to wait until I am desperate enough to trudge through it.
"must read"
this is not a one sided book based on political views but a road map to what is currently happening to our country and what we can do to keep it the greatest nation on earth
"worst reader ever"
I hate to be so negative , but this is by far the worst reader I have ever heard. The pace he reads and the monotone voice along with the numerous mispronounced words make it unbearable. The book itself is not all that great either, but then again, it's hard to get past the narration.
"chilling emotional rollercoaster"
This is by far the most chilling and scary book I've listened to thus far. There is not one slow spot in this book. You will be changed in your view of national security and the need for a plan to deal with large scale disasters.
The narration was amazing and added tone of drama to an already dramatic story....well done
"my whole family loved it"
I listened to this book with my wife and daughter on a road trip. Everyone took away something different and valuable. I have since listened to it 2 more times. One of the best books I've listened to.
"dont be afraid of others veiws"
I liked the book. It was a great adventure. I am a Christian, but I don't believe that hiding from the fact that not everyone is a Christian helps anyone. We have to be aware that there are athiests out there and some of them, as is the case with this author, are talented. Instead of running and hiding we should be writting stories of our own. perretti and dekker on hot on their tales. When their movies hit the big screen I hope we still have freedom of speech in this country so we can portray our side of the story. A lot of men died for our right to free speech. All preaching aside this is a fun tale that I fully intend to take my 11 year old to see. I will explain to her, or better yet read to her, how Genesis actually goes. Then we will get popcorn and enjoy the show.
"something new"
I loved this book because it was something different, not the same old rehashed idea. If your looking for a great story and a new topic, than this is a great read. Can't wait for more from this author
"non stop action"
loved this book. It keeps you wondering and is an exciting read

I was wondering if anyone knows a supplier for cellophane bag toppers. I was thinking about putting toppers on my individual favor cookies using a topper to make it look more professional. I would like to personalize, for instance if there is a shower or birthday party I could put that info on the front of the topper. This sounds like a craftie thing, the only problem there may be a need for a lot of one kind per job. And don't forget the different size/larger cello bags. Did I explain this correctly?

Very useful and easy to use.
Saved my bacon and my Data when my machine was hit by Malware that blocked my Windows boot. Removed drive and mounted it via this device on a legacy machine, rescued my partner's book and enabled me to clean and reformat the drive. Had our desktop machine back up and running in a couple of hours. Now I use it to back up and have a duplicate hard drive ready on the shelf just in case it happens again. Solid, simple to use.
Unable to get it working with Mac OSX
I have the C1 sat in my office drawer for over 2 years. It doesn't work with Mac OSX Does not mount any drives or even read from flash or SD card.
A great device. I used it to connect my iMac hdd to a PC after the Mac died. Enabled me to retrieve the data I needed for my work. A breeze to use and worked straight out of the box.
Brought this product from the stockport store, its so easy to use, plug it in and its works... simple, and easy set up - plug and play - is really worth the money.. does desktop and laptop hard drives, would deffo recommend to friends
Very nice product, worth to buy... easily operable
Can't find the quick release button, not sure there is one. The software that comes with it is from China. It seems to glitch a bit and needs to be started twice to run. The manual although written in English is definitely not written by a native speaker and takes a bit of interpretation. So far I've not been able to just plug in and access my hard drive. The manual recommends formatting the drive and creating a partition first. I did this with an empty drive and it works fine but not so useful for accessing already stored info. So far it's working but I keep expecting something to not be quite right and I'm unsure if the auto back up is functioning properly as it is forever finding files it didn't 10 mins previously.
Works brilliantly on Ubuntu. Shoved it in a spare USB slot and the drive automounts nicely. I was a bit worried that it wouldn't play nice with Linux when it came with a driver disk, but I think that's probably just for the 'Backup' button which I have no use for.
An excellent piece of kit. Well made and robust. Handy for backups and transfer of large amounts of data.
Cheap, but does exactly what it says on the box...
top class service and goods. fast delivery

(Corrects reference to commercial banks in last paragraph.)
Mali and members of the junta that took power in Mali last week face economic sanctions from the Economic Community of West African States if the army doesn't hand over power by April 2
The commission will deny Mali access to the ports of the region if the junta doesn't leave power by the deadline, said Desire Kadre Ouedraogo, president of the group.
Mali accounts at the group's central bank in Dakar would also be frozen and accounts of the government in commercial banks would lose access to cash supplied by the central bank, Ouedraogo said. The commission would also freeze assets of the members of junta and their associates.
