Post subject: How To Increase Screen Resolution with VirtualBox and Ubuntu
I have solved the problem of lack of usable choices of screen resolution when operating "Ubuntu" inside "virtual box" (which is running on your windows PC -
as rolled out with the DVD from Linux Format Mag "Building a great website
"). It was annoying to not be able to operate the Virtual Box window at my 1680x1050 resolution.
The clue was in reading the pdf that came with VirtualBox (or view the help file contents in Virtual box). Reading section 4 talks about "guest additions" which need to be installed to enable better video resolutions and other stuff. It seems hard at first if you don't know linux (like me) but here are some simple instructions.
1. Start Virtual box and log into Ubuntu.
2. Hit the right ctrl key so you can get your mouse pointer outside the virtual machine.
3.Go to top of virtual window, click on devices then select "Install Guest Additions"
You will see a window pop up inside Ubuntu showing you that there are some new files mounted in a virtual CDROM drive. One of those files should be VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
You must run the file with some admin permissions so do that this way...
4. Click inside the Ubuntu screen again then go to Applications - Accessories then Terminal. The terminal window is where you will run the file from, but first we must navigate to the correct directory.
5. type this... cd /media/cdrom0 (then hit enter, there is a space after cd!)
6. next type... dir (You should see amongst the files displayed VBoxLinuxAdditions.run)
7. now type... sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run (yes, that is a full stop before the slash!)
after you hit enter and it has done its stuff, the files are now accessable from Ubuntu.
8. You now need to reboot the virtual machine or press Ctrl+Alt+backspace.
9. Log onto the Ubuntu desktop and this time go to System - Preferences then Screen Resolution. You should now have more options than the three low res options you had at the beginning of the day!
If you are happy then H.A.N.D (have a nice day)... otherwise...
Still not happy because your favourite resolution is not one of the newly listed ones then follow these steps...
1. Open the terminal window again (Applications - Accessories then Terminal)
2. Type... sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (space after gedit and X11 must be capital X)
3. It will ask you for a password which is the same as you log in with.
4. The text editor loads and you should see a lot of text in the window. First make a backup of this file by going to "file" then "save as" and changing the filename to xorgbak.conf
5. You now need to hunt through the text until you see the display resolutions listed. The ones you will be concerned about will be listed under bit depth 24 or bit depth 16 (as these depths are the ones that give you a large amount of colors.)
6. The idea here is to have your favorite screen resolution included in this list. Do this by either inserting it before the other listed resolutions in the exact same manner or typing it over one of the others. (you will only need to do this for the ones under bit depth 24 and 16)
7. You must now do a "save as" but be careful here as this time we need to call the file xorg.conf again. If you just hit save here you would have saved the changes over the backup file you created!
8. You are done. Hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart your virtual box, log in and enjoy your new screen resolution options!
Addendum..."Whoops I broke my Ubuntu install and it won't load again!"
If you broke your virtual machine follow these instructions:
1. Start Ubuntu loading and hit escape as soon as you see the "grub" loading screen.
2. Select one of the recovery options and wait for it to load to the prompt.
3. type... mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf mv /etc/X11/xorg1.conf (space after each mv) This is moving and renaming the file xorg.conf
4. You are done (almost). Ubuntu will boot properly next time you try, but you need to follow step 2, 3 and 4 from above, but remember, this time you will be loading the file called xorgbak.conf into the editor and when you go to save, use "save as" and call it xorg.conf

Thanks for explain that with such details. However I have still a problem. When installing Guest Additions, nothing happens ... and there is not the "VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" on cdrom0, so I can't open it.
My computer is a MacBook, OS 10.5 . Can you help me ?

Thanks for the information.
These instructions worked for a 64bit Ubuntu 9.04 virtual machine run on a Windows 7 RC 64bit PC.

This doesn't work with VirtualBox 3 on Vista 64-bit running Ubuntu 9.10. The options have been removed. However, it's now much easier. Just resize the VirtualBox window and it will automatically resize to the appropriate resolution.

Since you are on a Mac, you need to use "VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run" instead.

Thank you, udroomla, you have both cleared a usage bottleneck for me (the tiny default screens) and taught me some basics of Linux-ing with your clearly written prompts.
Because you were so precise, and because nothing that you wrote was working as advertised, I finally realised the problem was me (surprise!) which led to this Win/Lin/Ubu/tyro finally discovering that on a Mac the enter~Return (new para) key is
the same as the enter key.
It only took 25 years of Mac-ing to discover that, but I think I am finally at lift-off speed for Ubuntu.
FWIW, in the 9.10 x86 rc release the xorg.conf file was quite empty, and after installing the additions just one extra resolution has been added, 1024 x 768, but that is more than large enough to go on with. Even now, there are only very general comments there, and no sizes to modify, but I'll keep poking at things.
Thanks again for your time & care.

This is a very good post but it is slightly outdated unfortunately. I specifically created an account to reply to this thread because it is the 1st on google search.
I am having the same problem, Vista guest, Ubuntu Host, virtualbox, screen resolution.
The problem is, after extensive google searching is that most of the Xorg nowdays does not have xorg.config file anymore. So please if any educated person out there would be very kind to update this piece of very valuable information for the better world, please.

Xorg still uses an xorg.conf file if it is present[1], it just doesn't need it. Anything you put in this file overrides anything automatically detected, so you can still force the resolution you want in this way.
The current version uses separate files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d making it easy to separate the sections of your config.

I found that if you install the guest additions on the virtual computer, the resolution adjusts to the window size.
For certain you have to be lost to find the places that can't be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was

Post subject: If it doesn't seem like this is working
This is kinda stupid but I spend a long time trying to get the screen resolution to increase. The way Guest Additions works is that it scales the screen resolution based on your window size. So if you are not viewing your Guest Virtualbox in full screen then your Ubunutu list of available screen resolutions won't increase. It wasn't until I put the Virtualbox on full screen before the full screen resolution came up. When I had virtualbox as a small window, I could only ever see 800x600 and 400x300 as screen resolution options.
Silly me.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – What had all the makings of a total snoozefest turn into a great day to own a TV.
Early in the day, Miami delayed its inevitable collapse with a come-from-behind win in the final minute over Wake Forest. Then in the afternoon Alabama and Florida State took turns flexing their muscles at each other in twin blowouts. The Seminoles had the early advantage, scoring 35 points in the first quarter, but Alabama closed the gap and matched their 49-17 win over N.C. State with a 45-10 win over Tennessee.
Then came the night games. A weather delay forced Texas Tech and Oklahoma to Fox News Channel, pre-empting Huckabee and confusing Obama-bashers everywhere.1 Oregon looked fallible against UCLA, Missouri and South Carolina played an overtime thriller. Even the late game between Stanford and Oregon State was a nail biter if you were able to stay up and watch it (I wasn't.)
Then came the best game of the whole day – Game 3 of the World Series. Since this is about football I won't say much about it, but if you love controversial calls and whiny fan bases (you like college football, so obviously you love these things) Game 3 was the best thing you've ever seen.
But almost all of that was outside the SEC. In the SEC, it wasn't so great. You can tl;dr this column down to No. 10 and not miss much.
Here is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 9.
1. Alabama by any other name is still Alabama. Tennessee coach Butch Jones took to calling the Crimson Tide "the red team" this week in practice. Call them what you will, they are still dominant.
Actually, you should just call them Alabama – or better yet Their Royal Highnesses, The Kings of All Sport – because even the slightest hint of derision aimed in the Crimson Tide's general direction will be met with swift and utter destruction.
AJ McCarron has been downgraded and criticized his whole career for being a "game manager" and he's never let it get to him. He had a very AJ McCarron-esque game in Saturday's 45-10 win – 19-for-27, 275 yards, two touchdowns. It's the exact type of game he gets criticized for. McCarron will likely become Alabama's all-time leading passer in the Tide's next game against LSU and yet few people outside of Alabama think he's a good quarterback. And that has never bothered him.
It isn't exactly news that Tennessee coach Butch Jones called Alabama "the red team" because coaches do all sorts of things to keep their players from being intimidated by better opponents. That he said the Vols could play with anybody is not that big of a deal because, as the coach, he has to say that. But that McCarron felt disrespected by those comments is earth-shaking.
Following the game, McCarron said, "I took this one personal. I felt disrespected. We're not just anybody."
That's as close as McCarron gets to showboating. But the fact that it bothered him at all says something. If there is any team in college football that has no reason to feel disrespected right now it is Alabama. The fact that coaches won't say its name in practice is a testament to the fear they have of playing "the red team." It's an ultimate sign of respect. Tennessee didn't do that when it played Oregon, Florida or Georgia. Only Alabama. That's a sign of fear and respect – and the one player who has every right to feel disrespected for his entire career and never has before was offended by it.
It's not even a slight against Alabama, and yet it's being taken as one. Don't give Alabama any fuel to use against you. It's just dumb. It even kept the student section from emptying in the fourth quarter.
Oregon students have already printed T-shirts that say "We Want Bama." I'm thinking maybe you don't. Either way, it's just not a good idea to say it.
2. Missouri is misery. Hoo boy. Where do I even start here? The first thing that comes to mind is following Missouri's 27-24 overtime loss to South Carolina, where the game was lost when a potential tying field goal hit the upright and ricocheted somewhere well left of being good, people more familiar with Missouri than me all but expected it to happen.
Yahoo sports columnist Pat Forde, himself an alumnus of the school, tweeted "Most. Missouri. Thing. Ever." He followed a now-prophetic column about why Missouri should be worried with one detailing the Tigers' lengthy failures and advocating a "drone strike on the most haunted plot of land in college football." His column is excellent and is written in a way only someone crying at their keyboard can write.
He even dubs it the "Shaw-shank" due to Connor Shaw rallying the Gamecocks (more on this in a minute). Missouri still has a chance at redemption, but it just got a lot harder. The loss to South Carolina now means the Tigers must beat Texas A&M in the season finale to make the SEC championship game, unless South Carolina loses to Mississippi State or Florida.
Missouri still controls its own destiny, and if you followed any of the above links you might not think that's a good thing.2
3. Steve Spurrier has still got it. Any by "it" I mean both the ability to pull out a stunning win and the ability to create controversy when there shouldn't be any.
The first thought on many people's mind when Connor Shaw entered the game in the second half was "why didn't he start?" Then he led the Gamecocks to a touchdown and we all thought "Really, why didn't he start?" Then when South Carolina tied the game at 17 with 42 seconds remaining it turned into "OK, seriously, why DID HE NOT START?"
Shaw threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns. He entered with the Gamecocks trailing 17-0. They won 27-24. So, why didn't he start? Well, he had an injured knee, which is a ridiculous understatement. Shaw sprained two ligaments against Tennessee when he was tackled and his leg did something I hope never happens to mine. An injury to either of those ligaments could have been season-ending.
Midweek, Spurrier wasn't even sure he would be able suit up for the game and had no intention of using him. So, why then did he play in the second half? He asked to. Spurrier may goof around with the media at times, even about players who aren't playing as he did earlier this year, but no one goofs around with knee injuries.
In a post-game interview with ESPN, Spurrier said, "Connor said he could play, so we had to go with him." It was a desperation move. South Carolina was facing elimination from the SEC East and needed something miraculous to happen.
Shaw then went all Willis Reed and led the comeback. Spurrier said, "I don't know how it happened." You're Steve Spurrier. That's how it happened.
4. Mississippi State has decided on a quarterback … maybe. And the winner is Dak Prescott, who almost led the Bulldogs to a loss to Kentucky. Mississippi State, however, triumphed 28-22. Oof.
I'm still partial to my double-barreled shotgun idea. I think it could be exciting. If nothing else, I'm pretty sure it would beat Kentucky by more than six.
5. Johnny Football wants to go back to the Cotton Bowl. Texas A&M beat Vanderbilt 56-24. Ho hum.
Texas A&M's chances of making the SEC championship game are one Alabama win away from not existing, its shot at a BCS bowl likely died with the loss to Auburn and Johnny Offense's chances of a repeat Heisman Trophy win are on life support as long as Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston are still able to walk.3 So what does A&M have left to play for? The opportunity to stick it to a Big XII team again.
Unless something goofy happens in the SEC championship game (i.e. the team representing the East wins) the Aggies are in position to return to the Cotton Bowl where they might get to trounce Oklahoma for the second year in a row or take down Texas while they have the chance. There are only two games left that A&M should have any concern over – LSU and Missouri.
It might only take a win in one of those games to get the Cotton Bowl bid. Their biggest competition for it right now is the eventual Iron Bowl loser and LSU.
6. Some stuff about Furman. You might remember last year when LSU played – and fell behind to – Towson I got really excited and looked up some stuff about Towson. Well, the Tigers had some fun with Furman this week, falling behind twice and leading by only four at halftime before opening up a 48-16 win. Here's some stuff about the Paladins you didn't know.
First up, just what the heck is a Paladin? According to dictionary.com, it's "a heroic champion" and according to Wikipedia, it is a warrior of Charlemagne's court who known as the "Twelve Peers." That sounds an awful like the "12th Man" A&M and the Seattle Seahawks keep telling me is important, only this time it's not self-congratulatory grandstanding (literally).
The Paladins are from Greenville, S.C., and play at Paladin Stadium, which was built in 1981. Lay's potato chip founder Herman Lay and color television pioneer Thomas Goldsmith attended Furman, and the school has produced notable athletes such as soccer star Clint Dempsey and basketball star Frank Selvy, who holds the Division I record for scoring 100 points in a single game.
7. Ole Miss does pretty well when it plays a team that isn't worth a crap. Yeah, I know the Rebels beat LSU last week, but that team was losing to Furman, so I don't know how big of a deal that is. Sure, I called LSU the best team in the SEC a few weeks ago. Big deal. I was wrong, OK? Let's move on.
Ole Miss was impressive adequate not entirely terrible against Vanderbilt and Southeastern Missouri, and in Saturday's 59-14 win over Idaho actually looked somewhat good. I'm just guessing based on the score because under no circumstance is that a game I could be persuaded to watch.
Yeah, the Rebels beat Texas, but at that time Texas was firing assistant coaches and ready to fire Mack Brown if he got so much as a parking ticket.4 Ole Miss missed out on an upset of Texas A&M by three points, but A&M's defense is terrible, so everybody should come close to beating them.
The Rebels were terrible against Alabama and Auburn. Now, that's more like it. Despite all of their troubles and my refusal to accept them as a decent football team, Ole Miss is one win away from being bowl eligible and plays Arkansas and Troy, so they should exceed that. Missouri and Mississippi State will be tougher, but a respectable bowl bid is possible.
8. The James Franklin (coach) mystique is wearing off. I haven't talked much about Vanderbilt because it hasn't been very good, but bowl eligibility is still in the water.
The Commodores are 4-4 and could be bowl eligible with wins over Florida and Kentucky. They also play Tennessee and Wake Forest, which took No. 7 Miami to the wire. It may be more difficult to get there than expected.
Franklin might should have left after last season.
9. Auburn stayed true to its nocturnal instincts. Let's take another page from last year's playbook. I was all about referencing my frequent viewing of the Discovery Channel last season. I haven't gone back to that well this year, but since there's nothing else to really talk about in Auburn's 45-10 win over Florida Atlantic, I'm busting it out again.
Well, Nick Marshall got hurt late, but everything seems to point to him being OK.
First off, total failure here because tigers aren't nocturnal. They technically are crepuscular, which means they hunt in the evening and morning hours between daylight and dark. The game started at 6:30 p.m. Auburn time, and since the Tigers scored just over two minutes into the game and had enough points to win by four minutes into the game, I'm going to count it. Owls are nocturnal, which would explain why they didn't score until late in the second quarter.
Could you imagine a fight between a tiger and an owl? What a disaster that would be. When you search YouTube for "tiger and owl" you get nothing involving actual tigers and nothing interesting involving actual owls.
I think the tiger would win. The owl can fly, so it could just flee, but the tiger could swipe it from the sky and devour it in like 5 seconds. Auburn has an eagle as its mascot, and when you search YouTube for "eagle and owl" you hit pay dirt, but it's somewhat disturbing. The peaceful surroundings of a Canadian golf course were transformed to the site of a bloody massacre when the two birds of prey clashed. As was the case Saturday night, the eagle won. It also beat an octopus, which suggests Auburn might be able to beat the Detroit Red Wings.
I'll stop this labored analogy now, but this is what you get when I can't think of anything better to say.
10. Nothing? What exactly happened this week? Missouri losing was the biggest thing the SEC had to offer, but if you read entry No. 2, you saw that it was pretty much a given anyway. Everyone else held serve.
I wrote about Furman and a bird fight because with all the blowouts there was nothing else interesting to discuss. Next week should be better with Florida and Georgia battling to maintain their relevance, Auburn going on the road against Arkansas, South Carolina trying to keep its SEC championship hopes alive against Mississippi State, Missouri trying to rebound against Tennessee and Kentucky maybe beating Alabama State.
Oh, who am I kidding? That's going to be a terrible week, too. The SEC is not supposed to be this bad.
Extra points: 1Thanks, Obama. We know you were behind it. First you shut down the government and now you use your HAARP weather machine of doom to shut down Fox News. Where will it end?
2Is it just me or is the main camera position at Missouri a lot closer to the field than normal? I noticed this last week but didn't say anything, but it was really distracting me because it looks like the camera angle from the sideline is lower and closer to the field, which means you can't see as much of the field during a play. I Googled it and got nowhere. Maybe it's just me.
3Especially if Johnny Manziel reverts to his old ways and parties with cheerleaders or Charlie Sheen. In a video shown on the A&M Jumbotron during the game, Manziel said he would like to hang out with Sheen, Rob Gronkowski and Tiger Woods. That's a guy who got fired from a TV show for doing cocaine, an NFL player whose off-field exploits put Manziel's to shame and a man who sought treatment for sex addiction. Oh, Johnny, you never disappoint.
4Ever parked on a college campus? It's not hard to get a ticket. I used to hate the people who walked around campus with their little electronic ticket-writing doohickey trying to see if I had a Zone 3 decal but had accidentally parked in a Zone 2 space because there was no sign saying what zone I was in. And God help you if your decal was red and you parked in a blue spot. Those spots were for the faculty and in could get you towed.

CNHI News Service
GREENSBURG, Ind. — Amateur video captured a fiery crash in this Indiana town, when a semi truck went airborne over a highway interchange and burst into flames.
Amazingly, the driver and his young son suffered only minor injuries.
It happened last week when 30-year-old Ryan T. Young, of Owenton, Ky., attempted to avoid a vehicle drifting into his lane while eastbound on Interstate 74 in Greensburg, Ind.
Indiana State Police said Young swerved to avoid the vehicle and ran off the south side of the interstate. The truck then went up a hill and through a guardrail, then ramped a highway interchange before striking another guardrail, tearing off the truck's fuel tanks and causing its fuel to ignite.
Video of the crash was captured by another trucker's dashboard camera, CNN reported. It shows Young's semi soaring over the interstate overpass, then bursting into flames.
Young reportedly suffered minor facial and head injuries in the crash. His 7-year-old son, who was a passenger in the vehicle, suffered only scratches. Both were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Details for this story were provided by the Greensburg Daily News in Greensburg, Ind.

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) - Conference play opened in full force.
Below is the weekly list of what we learned from watching SEC games in Week 2.
1. Arkansas is in some serious trouble. The last thing the Razorbacks needed, in what was supposed to be an easy tune-up before opening SEC play, was a loss. Well, which loss do we start with?
First, there was the game, which Arkansas lost 34-31 in overtime. But even bigger than that, there was Tyler Wilson, who never came out of the locker room after halftime. Wilson was described as having an injury "above the shoulders." If you can decipher what that means, please clue the rest of the world in on it. Early reports suggested that it is a concussion, but then it was reported he had a broken collarbone and would be out for about a month. But neither of those reports seems to be very reliable.
Depending on how long Wilson is out, Arkansas could be on the front end of a long spiral into oblivion. That's a doomsday scenario and is a bit overstated, but is by no means implausible. What was, however, was Louisiana-Monroe stunning the No. 8 team at home.
But it happened. Wilson is listed as day-today, but keep an eye on his status. Arkansas will have the benefit of being able to prepare to play without him this week if needed, but they have the misfortune of facing the nation's No. 1 team in Alabama.
Wilson threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns in the first half, and Arkansas looked poised for the easy win it had expected. That all changed when freshman Brandon Allen took over. Allen threw for just 85 yards and Arkansas was unable to get its running game going.
Look for the Razorbacks to struggle due to Wilson's injury. And to add insult on top of that injury, Arkansas fell out of the Associated Press top 25 - the second largest drop in the poll's history behind only Michigan in 2007, when it lost to Appalachian State and fell from No. 5 to unranked.
2. Mississippi State is dangerous. The Bulldogs thoroughly dismantled Auburn in a 28-10 win, especially in the second half. Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen picked up his first win over an SEC West team other than in-state rival Ole Miss.
Quarterback Tyler Russell was especially brilliant, throwing for 222 yards and three touchdowns against an Auburn defense that could not get in sync or make tackles. Auburn's offense couldn't do anything, either (more on this later).
With the manner in which the win came, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, Texas A&M and those Rebels are all on notice. A win over Mississippi State will not come easily. For that matter, Kentucky and Tennessee better be careful, too. Mississippi State gets what should be two easy nonconference wins before facing those two teams from the east.
Should the Bulldogs sweep those games, they'll get another nonconference game before finishing the season with their five remaining SEC West opponents. That's a daunting way to close the season, but Mississippi State could be 7-0 entering that stretch.
3. College Station is home to the most awesome pregame in the SEC. Imagine what 82,000 people singing and swaying in unison sounds like. Think it won't be as cool as it sounds? It is.
The Aggie faithful had Kyle Field rocking before kickoff for their welcome into the SEC. It was all singing and celebration and waving the white towel. That hoopla fired up the 12th Man, which in turn fired up the Aggies and helped them get out to a 17-7 lead with a couple minutes before halftime.
That "Aggie Spirit" will be needed as A&M gets ready to run the gauntlet of a season that no longer has an off week after the opener against Louisiana Tech was delayed. A&M gets probably the most favorable slate of any SEC West team, because none of the powerhouse programs come back-to-back. But as this week's 20-17 loss to Florida showed, it will take all four quarters for the Aggies to survive in their new home.
4. Auburn has a quarterback controversy, and it was acquired by not even playing a second QB.
Yes, Kiehl Frazier was that bad against Mississippi State. Frazier went deep into the game with negative passing yards and for a while had more interceptions than completions in the 28-10 loss. He threw three interceptions and fumbled twice.
Frazier was named as the Tigers' starting quarterback in August. It won't take much in the next couple of weeks for Auburn to rethink that choice. Auburn plays Louisiana-Monroe next week, and as Arkansas learned, that can be a dangerous team.
After that, the Tigers face LSU and Arkansas. All three games are at home and it won't take much struggling for the call for a change to get too loud to ignore.
Tigers fans will not have any patience for a team two years removed from a national championship starting 0-3 in the SEC and struggling just to stay in the bowl picture. Auburn may have to pull an upset over a highly ranked team just to be eligible.
That is if they can get past Louisiana-Monroe. Fresh off their upset of Arkansas, the Warhawks get a crack at an Auburn team that is even more ripe for the picking. The only thing better than pulling off one upset is pulling off two.
5. South Carolina is in danger of having a quarterback controversy. Connor Shaw threw for 67 yards and ran for 92 more against Vanderbilt to open the season, but he suffered a shoulder injury. Dylan Thompson stepped in against East Carolina and threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns.
East Carolina is not as good of an opponent as Vanderbilt, but if Shaw struggles coming back from that injury, Thompson will look better and better with each play. That's not fair to Shaw. He's a different type of quarterback, and his speed gives his game an extra dimension that Thompson's lacks.
That being said, when the Gamecocks face Missouri in two weeks, the "eyeball test" will be the only thing that matters. South Carolina will follow that game up with Kentucky, Georgia, LSU and Florida.
If there is any doubt who is the better quarterback – and Steve Spurrier is no stranger to that question since coming to South Carolina – those games will bring it out.
6. Don't let Johnny Manziel run. Florida did this in the first half against Texas A&M and the Aggie quarterback led his offense to the end zone with little resistance. In the second half, he was boxed in behind the line and A&M was shut out.
Manziel is a good quarterback, but it was just his first start for the Aggies. He's young and will make mistakes, but those mistakes don't come when he's running. When he was able to escape the pocket and scramble for yards, everything A&M did on offense turned to gold. When he was held behind the line and forced to throw, the offense could do nothing.
Manziel threw for 173 yards, and was A&M's leading rusher with 60 yards and a touchdown. That touchdown came early in the second quarter and gave the Aggies a lead they held until the fourth. Florida played ball control with a defense that made several adjustments at halftime and methodically reclaimed that lead and the win.
Said another way, Florida introduced Texas A&M to what it will see from SEC opponents each week. In the Big 12, the game would have turned into a shootout. In the SEC, defense ruled the day.
7. Tennessee will have the opportunity to make a statement next week. Florida should be in pretty good spirits for its trip to Knoxville next week where it will get a shot at Tennessee, a team that has been running on all cylinders but hasn't been tested.
Tyler Bray followed up his 333-yard performance against North Carolina State with a 310-yard, four-touchdown game against Georgia State. Georgia State is not an opponent that should make that number appear surprising, but it does indicate that Tennessee's offense has something going.
Bray is better and more experienced than Manziel, and Florida will have a tougher time containing the Vols' attack. Tennessee has several receivers who will test the merits of Florida's at-times shaky defense. For a team looking for a sign that a return to prominence is on the way, there would be no better statement than a win over Florida.
8. If Missouri's offense gets going, it will be tough to stop. Georgia almost found out about this. James Franklin and his corps of receivers had plenty of opportunities for big plays, but couldn't convert them.
A pass was dropped in the end zone right before halftime that would have given Missouri good momentum – and a greater than one-point lead – entering the locker room. Franklin also threw a poor pass late in the fourth quarter that was intercepted and allowed Georgia to take control of the game. Later he fumbled just to make sure the outcome would not be in doubt.
There were flashes of brilliance, but if you aren't sharp on every play against SEC defenses, you will not be successful. Franklin threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns and found eight receivers in the game.
The lasting image of Franklin, though, will be the easy toss over the middle that went right into the hands of Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones. Georgia took a 14-point lead and Franklin responded by fumbling and letting the Bulldogs take a 21-point lead, their ultimate margin of a victory – 41-20.
Top recruit Dorial Green-Beckham was a nonfactor, so getting him involved will be important.
9. Georgia did what Georgia does. Georgia had the talent to take control of the game and put it away early, but the Bulldogs didn't start making plays until Missouri started making plays. As long as Georgia allows its opponents to stay around late in games, an unlikely upset is always a possibility. The 'Dogs were still without four starters on defense, but how big of an impact that has made is yet to be seen.
Georgia has always let its opponents stick around longer than they should. It's one of the reasons why no one ever really knows how good Georgia is, and it's one of the reasons Mark Richt is on and off the hot seat four or five times a year.
It usually seems to work out in the Bulldogs' favor, but that can't last forever. Missouri could have easily pulled ahead if one or two plays had gone a different way, and could have easily won the game in the fourth quarter before committing two turnovers.
In many ways, Georgia won the same way Florida did. In a close game, the Bulldogs let the defense do the work and used its offense to take advantage of the opportunities it was presented. But it shouldn't have taken that long. Aaron Murray threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns, but Georgia struggled to get its running game moving.
The Bulldogs played just good enough to get the job done. While that's all they need to do, waiting until late to make a move for the lead could end up costing them down the road.
10. Expansion was a good idea. The SEC was the first conference to expand to 12 teams. It was ridiculed at the time, but now everyone wants to do it. Now the conference has become the first to grow to 14, and the first week of games involving those new teams was an exciting one.
Both games involving "newbies" Texas A&M and Missouri went deep into the fourth quarter with the winner undetermined. Both teams were involved in a defensive slugfest despite their fast-paced offensive philosophy.
Both teams also showed they have the football acumen to compete in the conference, though winning in it will be more difficult. The two new teams were brought in more to increase the SEC's TV visibility than to create a competitive advantage or increase the conference quality.
But both A&M and Missouri showed they are comfortable in their home and both were given a little obligatory rookie hazing by the conference's old guard.
Welcome to the SEC. It was the first day of school and your lunch money got taken from you. Now, go about your business and don't do anything to call attention to yourself. Prove your worth and your time will come.

I bought the bag to accomodate my daily commute from NJ to NYC. The leather is very rich and smells so leather. The size of the bag is the same as a regular backpack. There are two hidden pockets inside the bag and one pocket outside but at the back of the bag.
This handbag came in it's own fabric mesh bag like those very expensive shoes - none of which I own. The leather seems supple, the straps and hook loop are sturdy. There is plenty of room in this handbag which helps me carry a lot of stuff during the work week. I like the quality.......just wish it had feet to sit on. If you are wondering whether or not to get it, I say get it. I am a working single parent and this handbag provides more than enough room to carry bills, stuff for the kids to work on etc. a thick planner, book to read. The color and quality of the hardware is great.
I bought this to use for work, where I walk a couple blocks almost daily to attend various meetings. I needed a bag that was appropriate and easy to get things in and out of. This bag has pockets where I like them, and will carry lots of items (including a notebook computer, lunch, handouts, etc.) securely. I like the cinch closure for simple and secure fastening and the magnetic snaps are a nice feature. The shoulder straps are comfortable and it seems well made. The padded handle is good for a quick grab. The leather is soft, flexible, and not too heavy. I have the espresso, which is like the photo-a dark brown. As a previous reviewer said, the excess strap length is way too long for some reason. I haven't had it long enough to know how the seams will hold up with all the slinging over my back it is getting, but so far so good.
Love this backpack. It is well constructed, beautiful, and super soft. The leather is very supple, yet thick and strong. The whole thing is very chic, the hardware blending beautifully with the overall design. I was especially pleased to find a large pocket on the back of the pack (I don't think this was noted in the description), as I bought it for an overseas trip and needed a secure pocket for documents, etc. Great find!!! It is everything it claims to be. Buy!
BUT the straps when you sinch it up to fit your back there are long straps that hang down makeing it look more like a school bag and i wanted it has a nice backpack purse like. i put velcro on the straps and tried keeping them strapped down. will have to do some more work on it with what i had, did not get to complete that task. but the straps hanging down look bad and there is no reason for them to be that long
I ordered this bag for work because I wanted a nice looking backpack that was good quality. It has many pockets and a nice lining, the bag is comfortable to wear and can fit a lot of stuff in it. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.
This is a great bag for a busy woman. It doesn't look like a book bag very professional
I used on vacation it holds a lot of your stuff. I love the different compartments. Very convenient and useful.
Someone finally made a backpack that wears well even when I'm not riding my bike. It has room for my lunch and enough compartments for everything else. It's comfortable and sized perfectly. The snaps behind each buckle are amazingly secure. This is one great backpack/purse.
Love this backpack! Perfect for work. I like the various zipper pouches for storage. The straps are quite long, but necessary if you're a tall person. I'm 5'6" and they're a bit long. I may take it to my shoe cobbler and have them shortened. I love the strong leather smell, and so do some of my co-workers! When I open my locker, we all take a moment to enjoy the strong leather aroma!!!! The quality of the leather is very good and I'm certain I will be using this for years...and it will get better with age after it softens a little!

Chronic neck pain is pain that occurs over a long period of time. It usually lasts more than three months. The pain can range from mild to severe.
Contact your doctor if you have experienced neck pain over a period of time without relief.
Chronic neck pain can be caused by:
- Muscle strains and muscle tension
- Poor posture
- Osteoarthritis
- Disk degeneration
- Fibromyalgia
- Spinal stenosis
- Prior spine surgery
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Tumors (rarely)
Chronic neck pain may also cause you to have neck stiffness. Pain may be worse when moving your neck. The pain can be any type of pain including burning, sharp, dull, tingling. The pain may spread to other parts of the body such as the shoulders and arms.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may refer you to a specialist. Orthopedists specialize in bones and joints. A neurologist or neurosurgeon specializes in the nerves and spinal cord.
Your doctor may need to see images of your spine. This can be done with:
Your doctor may need to measure how well the nerves and muscles in your neck are working. This can be done using electromyography (EMG).
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Options include the following:
Activity and Exercise
You may be able to decrease your pain by staying active and exercising. Your doctor may also refer you to a physical therapist. A therapist may work on strength exercises and stretching.
There are many different medicines that may be used the help you manage your neck pain.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)—to treat the pain and reduce inflammation
- Acetominophen—to treat pain
- Certain antidepressant medications—sometimes used for neck pain
- Certain antiseizure medications
- Corticosteroid injection—to treat the pain and reduce inflammation caused by disk disease
Other Treatments
There are other treatments that might be helpful for neck pain.
- Low-level laser therapy— a light source is directed on the painful area
- Electrotherapy treatments, such as repetitive magnetic stimulation, and nerve and muscle stimulation
- Chiropractic care
- Acupuncture
- Intermittent traction (pulling on the neck)
- Massage
Most cases of neck pain are treated medically. In some cases surgery is needed. The type of surgery will depend on the cause of pain. For example, if you have a herniated disk in your neck, surgery will remove the disk.
To help reduce your chance of getting neck pain, take the following steps:
- Maintain good posture.
- Take breaks from activities that do not involve movement such as driving or working at a computer.
- Avoid sleeping with too many pillows
- Get plenty of exercise
- Make sure your desk chair and keyboard are at proper heights.
- Avoid cradling the phone in your neck.

Hello SFSite members,
I'd like to introduce my new novel 'Last Night on Mars.'
The idea took form about a decade ago. After many fits and starts, it's finally a cool and intriguing (or so I've been told...) novel.
Set in a very plausible future that sees humanity colonising Mars and also building orbiting space stations/buildings in which people live, it's a futuristic action adventure with suspense.
The plot, characters and situations are wrapped in a scenario that is true to the genre, but not cliche.
Here's the synopsis:
It's the 22nd century and life's good.
Stefan Cooper owns a plush condo in the orbiting space towers, has a lucrative job on the moon and a hot date with the beautiful and intriguing Angelique.
Things don't always go according to plan as a shocking act of violence turns everything upside down.
Unable to turn back, Stefan finds himself in the midst of a high stakes struggle which begins on the colony of Mars.
What happens on the red planet pits him against a powerful and vengeful figure. Racing against time and his new enemy, Stefan's only hope is a shadowy ally.
Even though the odds are stacked against him, giving up was never an option.
Will he survive, or will this be his 'Last Night on Mars'?
The book's currently available as an eBook from the following places (updated). It's an easy read at a very, very nice price, but by no means an IQ lowering experience.

monty soup spoons I recently bought 4 soup spoons as mine have disappeared over the years. truly money well spent! I do eat a lot of soup and these spoons are perfect March 26, 2014
Didn't Know I Had Settled! I got this soup spoon set because it was a great price, and I really needed some more large spoons. (Where had they all gone?) I really had no clue I was missing out on such quality! Great heft - feel super in your hand when you're using the spoons for serving or for soup. They don't gouge into your fingers like some tableware. Easy clean - quick rinse, sink wash, or dishwasher. I seem to have solved all the Cutlery Issues I didn't realize I had! Highly recommended. March 22, 2014
The Perfect Soup Spoon I love the soup spoons and will order 4 more with my next order. March 13, 2014
SOUP SPOONS ARE JUST RIGHT ~ I remembered soup spoons from my childhood and was delighted to find these. They are nice and sturdy and just the right size and shape for a bowl full of soup. We plan to order more so we can share with guests! December 29, 2013
nice cutlery the set is simple and worth the money spent . November 27, 2013
My husband wanted "soup" spoons! My husband wanted some soup spoons. I looked high & low and all I found were entire silverware sets. I came across this website and found what I was looking for. Hubby LOVES his spoons. So now all is right on the world again:). April 9, 2013
good feel, good looking This set of spoons is comfortable to hold and is a satisfying size for soup. It also looks good with any pattern. The spoons are solid and don't feel "wimpy"; they're good for both male and female users. I recommend them for anyone looking for a decent soup spoon. March 24, 2013
The Quest is over. Most sets of flatware today do not come with soup spoons, so for years, I have been searching for soup spoons. I came across this product. When the spoons arrived, I was extremely pleased. The spoon has a good weight to it, and the bowl is a great size. While not a match to my flatware, the design is simple, and comliments my set.

- Affiliate Payments For Offline Orders: If an affiliate referred a buyer to your web site, and the buyer ended up paying offline, then you would never know that they were referred by an affiliate. Not so with DAP. Just enter the offline payment into DAP. And then the cookie that is still on the buyer's computer triggers the correct affiliate credit the next time the member logs in to your membership site.
- Proudly tell your affiliates that they will never get screwed out of a single referral payment!Your affiliates are going to love you for this, and promote your product even more passionately.
- Affiliate Payments For Even Word-Of-Mouth Referrals: There will be times when people may not click on an affiliate link before making a purchase. They may have just "heard" about your product from a friend. And they will sometimes tell you (on your checkout page) that they heard about it from "Jill Friend" Or "Joe Partner". DAP allows you to manually give Affiliate credit to Jill Friend or Joe Partner for the purchase, even though there is no affiliate tracking in this case.

"DigitalAccessPass is on my A-list. Veena...took the time to make sure that DAP was actually the right system for me"
Bree Argetsinger | TheBettyRocker.com
"Digital Access Pass is on my A-list. I'd heard stories before but there is nothing like experiencing a product for yourself.
First of all, DAP has the most comprehensive membership accessories around. Any other program I've tested might have started out less expensive, but by the time you add on all the "extras" (that already come with DAP for free) you are paying a ridiculous amount to invest. It's the sneaky fees that get you when you try the other programs. But DAP has it all built in - affiliate software, unlimited sites, and more.
I've had two situations where I could not figure things out on my own. Veena was AMAZING to work with. And each time, she asked questions, followed up, and helped me repair what I needed in record time. In one situation, she even had the patience to sit on the phone with me and walk through what happened.
I can't tell you about anyone else's experience, but I am truly a fan of the software AND the service I've received using DAP.
It has been one of the best investments I've made in my business. "

Christine O'Donnell Interview - IRS Targeting
July 17, 2013
In new allegations against the Internal Revenue Service, an inspector general said IRS investigators targeted and intimidated political candidates and donors.
Former U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell said it was during the 2010 campaign that she believed her taxes were illegally accessed and tampered with, including a tax lien placed on a Wilmington Delaware house she had already sold.
O'Donnell was interviewed by national correspondent Kristine Frazao.

In this post-2008 entrepreneurial economy, people are finding ways to make money, like say in spiders."Actually I have arachnophobia," said Cheyenne.So it makes perfect sense that she would handle a fanged, hairy arachnid named Charlotte."I love her," she said, even after being bit, twice."My daughter's spider Charlotte, she's kind of mean. She has an attitude problem, but mine, Isabel, she's like big and fat and lazy, and she just wants to chill," said Wendy.Mom and daughter are so smitten they want thousands of tarantulas in their house. Doesn't everyone?"It's just like any other business. When you advertise your business, you put it on the Internet and people buy them up like that," Wendy said. "If 400 or 500 of the eggs survive, at $20 to $30 a spider, that's a lot of money."Breeding tarantulas for fun and profit, a mother-daughter business venture in addition to their tattooing.How does one go from being a tattoo artist to breeding tarantulas?"The tarantulas just kind of come with the territory. I think a lot of tattoo artists have like weird animals. We're kind of like different people," Wendy said.All they need now is to get a male tarantula."After they mate, the female will kill him and wrap his body up and store it for the babies until they're born, and then she'll feed her babies the male body," Cheyenne said.So after breeding is complete, they will rescue the male and there will be some down time waiting for arachnid-palooza.

Carl Fehlandt
Yesterday, when I heard about this terrible loss, I could not believe it, I was in shock. Carl was such a wonderful teacher! I learned to love the English language (even sight translation) thanks to him and his unique way of explaining things, always to be the point, precise, impeccable. I would have liked to tell him how much I thank him for everything he taught me, for his legacy, I owe him so much! Time was too short. When I heard he was ill, he was actually already leaving us. It's devastating news for all those of us, who had the honor to be his student. Carl, te recordaré siempre.
